FOE  GOVERNOR  —  PROBABLE  CONTEST 
OVER  THE  FINANCIAL  QUESTION. 
SpecttU  DigpaUA  to  the  yncf-  York  Times. 

CLEVELAND,Ohio,  July  31. — There  still  con- 
tinHe  to  be  many  conflictixig  opinions  as  to  the 
precise  nature  of  the  indorsement  which  Pres- 
ident Hayes  and  his  Administration  will  re- 
ceive from  the  State  Convention  of  Ohio 
Republicans,  which  meets  here  to-morrow. 
That  some  kind  of  a  complimentary  resolution 
respecting  him  will  be  passed  there  is  no 
doubt,  but  there  are  larp:e  numbers  of  usuallv 
well  informed  persons  who  express  the  belief 
that  it  will  be  worded  with  great  care,  and  will 
be  capable  of  more  than  one  translation.  It  can 
be  stated  positively  that  the  gentlemen  who  ex- 
press these  and  similar  opinions  are  greatly  in 
error.  The  resolution  which  will  be  presented 
and  passed  indorses  Mr.  Hayes  in  the  heartiest 
and  most  unqualified  terms. 

This  afternoon  the  State  Central  Committee  met, 
and  designated  Gen.  Grosvenor.  Speaker  of  the 
Assembly,  to  act  as  temporary  Chairman.  This 
move  was  generally  regarded  as  a  victory;  for 
Judge  Taft,  for  it  is  understood  that  the  Speaker 
warmly,  supports  him  for  the  Governorship. 
At  the  same  time,  there  were  a  number  of  per- 
sons who  argued  that,  as  Taft  was  not  believed 
to  be  particularly  friendly  to  the  Administra- 
tion, Grosvenor  would  not  go  out  of 
his  way  to  compliment  !VIr.  Hayes  in 
his  opening  address.  This  also  is  a  mistake. 
I  have  just  read  the  speech  which  the  tempo- 
rary Chairman  will  deliver-  In  it  the  President 
Is  indorsed  most  cordially.  The  following  is  an 
exact  copy  of  what  will  be  said  regarding  him 
and  his  administration  : 

The  Rppnblican  r.arty  has  jd^en  to  this  country  a 
National  Administration  which  in  five  >hort  months. 
amid  the  honrlin^  and  anathemas  of  it.<i  enemies,  the 
deprecation,  doubt,  t>.ir.  aid  hesitation  of  many  of 
its  most  tried  and  Jfnitliful  adherents,  has  re-estab- 
li.shed  political  pea^-e  and  miblir  confidence  through- 
out the  Jftates  of  tlie  South.  The  course  of  the  Re- 
pnblican  Farty  lias  challenged  the  admiration  and 
MessinK  of  the  pood  men  of  all  political  faiths  aiid 
parties.  It  went  before  the  people  in  rlie 
campaiKH  of  1ST6.  pnelaimine  that  "  the  permanent 
piicificarion  of  the  Southern  section  of  the  ruion  and 
the  complete  protection  of  citizens  in  the  free  enjoy- 
ment or"  all  their  rights  is  a  duty  to  which  the  Repub- 
lican Party  stands  sacredly  pledged.  With  such 
a  recocuitton  fully  accorded,  it  will  be  practica- 
ble to'  promotts  t  b  e  efforts  of  the  people  of 
those  States  to  olitain  the  blessincs  of  hon- 
est and  capable  Sflf-ffovemment."  In  accepting, 
the  nomination  of  his  party  npon  this  platform.  Mr. 
Hayes  said  :  "  The  motal  acd  mat«^riiil  prosperitv 
of  the  Southern  S^TftlesT'can  be  most  effectually  ad- 
vanced hv  a  hearty  antF  Kenerous  recocnition  of  the 
rjchts  ot  all  by-all.  a  recognition  without  resterve  or 
exception."  Acain.  in  his  inaupiral  address,  the 
Presid'-nt  said  :  "'  I  wish  now.  when  every  motive 
for  mil' re  presentation  has  passed  away,  to  repeat 
what  was  Siiid  before  the  election.'' 

After  referrinc  to  these  aud  other  sentiments 
expressed  by  President  Hayes  and  the  Repul)- 
lican  platform — and  by  the  way,  I  may  note  the 
somewhat  si^ifirant  fact  that  the  resolution 
adopted  at  Cincinnati  a  year  ai;o  and  quoted 
bI>ov(.-  was  wriirert  hy  Gov.  Chamberlain,  of 
South  Carolina — the  speerh  continuf-s: 

Throuiih  sunshine  and  storm,  throujrh  victory  and 
defeat,  the  Pre.'^idenr  has  siruir^led  patiently,  heroic- 
ally, manfully,  to  redeem  these  pledges  made  by  his 
party  and  hiui.'*elf.  "Whether  as  a  candidate  for  the 
Presidenry.  .imid  the  turmoil  of  a  campai^^  unparal- 
leled in  the  history  of  American  politics  ;  as  a  ^tient.

well  h*»  proiiil  that  it  has  civ^n  to  the  hi'«tor\'  of 
Ameri'-nn  Presidents  iho  name  of  Katherford  B. 
Hiiyes.  of  Ohio. 

After  thus  heartily  iiMlorsint;  the  President 
and  his  Administration,  and  after  arraisrnin:^

tal out  of  till-  recent  l:ilK>rr  iot.-*,  auil  theu  con- 
tinuKs  as  follows : 

This  same  Dpniocratic  party  that  now  prates  of 
the  pauperism  of  labor  by  Republi'-an  ena'*tmenl«, 
has  itsf.lf  tansht  a  fuLs©  ^oetruie  to  the  suffering 
laborini:  classes  of  this  c<»^ntrj',  until  strikes  and 
violence  have  foll-.twed.  and  the  result  ha-*  been  that 
the  entire  business  interests  -if  the  countr>-  havt*  re- 
ceived a  shi>rk  tliat  10  years  of  hanl  labor  and  self- 
denj*in2  e<'ojioniy^animt  repair.  To-day  the  country 
is  apphUed  by  the  fearful  siuht  f*t  tlie  waving,  at  the 
bidding  of  the  1  democratic  Party,  us  the  result  of 
I>emf'cratic  leachinjr*.  of  the  bi"0«l-red  fla>;  of  com- 
munLsra.  b<jme  ui  the  hands  of  :in  insensate  raoh, 
and  Jn  this  time  of  horror  we  find  the  .\rmy  reduced 
by  J^emfH-mtic  h»fstility — weakenetl  and  rfedui!cd  as  if 
to  pave  the  way  fur  spoliation  and  .'marshy. 

Re^ardinir  the  platform  to  be  adopted  there 
will  probably  bt;  no  di.'*pute.  except  npon  the 
Bnancial  plank.  The  best  men  in  the  party  are 
tr\'in:r  t4>  have  the  resolution  in  the  national 
platfonn  readopted,  btit  the  soft-money  element 
13  atronfrly  represented  here,  and  it  is  feared 
that  a  detemiinetl  fij;ht  \vill  l>e  made  for  the  pas.*t- 
a.i^e  of  a  resolution  ealUiic  for  the  repeal  of  the 
E&s»imption  act.  Gen.  Gartlehl  and  others  are 
doing  their  utmost  to  avert  the  threatened  dan- 
ger. 

Judgre  Taf t  is  .ttill  thf»  favorito  candidate  for 
the  Governorship,  and  his  friend.s  are  confident 
that  he  will  b**  uominaled.  Some  of  the  Presi- 
dent's personal  a*iiierent.s,  however,  declare  that 
his  name  shall  nt'ver  go  on  the  tirket  until  he 
has  written  a  lette^r  indorsiu*;  the  National  Ad- 
ministration. Senator  Curtis,  of  this  district,  is 
stiD  warmly  snpport»Hl,  and  ex-Gov-  Dennison 
and  Jndge  '\Ve.'*t,  of  Bellefontaine,  are  now  re- 
garded as  po.isible  candidates. 

Later. — The  deU-^atiou  from  Garfield's  (Xine- 
teenth)  district  in  caucus  to-ni^^ht  declared 
unaoimonsly  for  Taft.  In  an  informal  caucus 
this  tfterno(>n,  at  which  Hon.  Stanley  Matthew.s, 
Gen.  GarlieM.  Messrs  Monroe,  Cox,  Danford, 
McKinley.  Judf:e  Lawrence,  and  others  were 
present.  Senator  Matthews  read  and  proposed 
the  following  a.stonishing  formula  for  a  pUt- 
form :  First,  unconditional  repeal  of  the 
Kesumption  act ;  second,  reinonetization 
of  silver  and  its  coinage  without  restriction  ; 
third,  establishment  .of  the  greenback  as  a  per- 
manent currency  ;  fourth,  payment  of  Customs 
duties  in  greenbacks.  Gen.  Garfield  remarked 
that  this  platform  would  suit  the  Democrats 
better  than  their  own,  and  denotmced 
such  apostasy  in  the  most  positive  terms.  He 
wis  sustained  by  Messrs.  Cox  and  Foster,  and  it 
ia  evident  that  there  will  be  backbone  enough 
to  btiry  the  Matthews  programme  out  of  sight. 
Xhe  weakness  is  on  the  silver  question,  where 
there  will  probablv  be  some  concession  to  the 
advocates  of  a  double  standard.

From  Our  Special  CorretpondenL 

^UCTKLAKD,  Ohio,  Monday,  Jtdy  30,  1877. 

Three  weeks  ago  there  were  very  few 
persons  in  Ohio  who  believed  that  the  Repub- 
lican Paxty  would  be  successful  in  the  poUti^d 
campaign  which  will  he  opened  her©  next 
Wednesday.  Indeed,  those  who  were  best 
qualified  to  judge  were  most'  despondent, 
and  enthusiastic  old  Eepublicans  who  had 
often  been  considered  over  sanguine  were 
r^ady  to  acknowledge  that  defeat  in  the 
eomi&g  struggle  was  almost  inevitable. 
To-day  the  situation  is  completelv  changed. 
ThoM  who  wan  moet  despondent  are  now  moot 


hopef  til,  and  everywhere  the  belief  is  expressed 
that  the  Republican  Party  has  at  least  "  an  even 
chance  to  win."  I  This  sudden  change  of  feeling, 
which  is  «o  marked  as  to  require  much  greater 
attention  than  I  can  give  it  in  the  present  letter, 
was  caused,  no4  by  any  action  of  the  Eepubli- 
cans themselvesi  but  by  the  -ludicrotis,  tha 
suicidal  mistake  I  made  by  their  adversaries  iiy 
the  Columbus  Convention.  In  the  Republi- 
can Party  ill  the  old  elementis  of 
discontent  remain.  The  President's  Southern 
policy,  *'the  expediency  plan,"  the  reconcilia- 
tion programme,  which  was  to  have  made  lambs 
of  wolves,  but  which  did  not,  finds  no  more 
favor  with  the  brave  old  "  Union  straight-outs  " 
than  it  did  tliree  months  ago.  John  Sherman's 
half-way  measures  and  semi-mysterious  projects 
are  regarded,  as[  they  have  been,  with  a  care 
which  is  not  altogether  free  from  snspicion, 
and  the  trouble  cdused  by  that  civil 
sen-ice  order  has^  not  quite  blown  over.  These 
facts  must  be  at  once  appsf ent  to  any  careful 
observer  who  comes  here  to  make  himself  ac- 
quainted with  the  political  sentiment  of  the 
State.  Every  element  of  weakness  that  existed 
in  the  Republican  Party  three  weeks  ago  exists 
to-day.  Notwithstanding  this,  however,  the 
leading  men  int  that  party  have  in  the  time 
mentioned  become  confident  that  they  can  carry 
the  next  election*  and  this  confidence,  I  may  re- 
peat, is  due  entirely  to  the  almost  insan^  blunders 
made  by  the  Democracy.  The  agents  of  thfe 
party  named,  by  [their  action  in  the  State  Cpri- 
vention  last  Wednesday,  have  displayed  fair 
greater  weakness  than  their  worst  enemies  ever 
gave  them  creditj  for.  They  have  acknowledged 
by  their  nominations  that  they  are  djvided  up 
into  almost  innupierable  ambitious  and  contend- 
ing factions — cliques  so  bitterly  opposed  to 
each  other  that  they  dared  not  put  their  stand- 
ard in  thje  handslof  a  representative  man.  They 
knew  that  such  ai  man  would  be  '  *_knif ed  in'  the 
camp  of  his  friends."  Hoping  to  conciliate 
these  contending  factions,  desiring  to  offend 
nobodv,  they  nominate  for  the  highest  oflSce  in 
the  State  a  figure-head,  an  almost  unknown 
man,  whose  whole  life,  whose  every  public  act, 
has  been  in  direct  opposition  to  all  the  time- 
honored  principles  of  the  Democratic  Party. 
Mr.  R.  M.  Bishop,  the  Democratic  nominee  Ifor 
Governor  of  Ohio,  is  to-day,  without  exception, 
the  most  unpopular  man  in  the  State.  It  is  im- 
possible to  exaggerate,  almost  impossible  to 
describe,  the  feqling  of  disgust  with  which  the 
news  of  his  nomination  was  received  by  the 
rank  and  file  of  the  Democracy.  At  first  leaders 
in  the  party  aske<l — dissatisfied  because  they  had 
to  ask — *•  ^"ho  i9  he  ?"  Now  they  make  no  more 
inquiries,  knowing  that  the  less  there  is  said 
ahout  Mr.  Bishop's  record  the  better  chance  he 
will  have  of  securing  votes.  Try  as  they  will, 
however,  they  cannot  conceal  the  fact  that  they 
have  made  a  fatal  mistake. 

The  brief  histpry  of  Mr.  Bishop's  somewhat 
imeventfxil  life  proves  this  beyond  all  question. 
He  is  a  CTf'cer.  lives  in  Cincinnati,  and  was  ex- 
pected to  carry,  by  reason  of  his  personal  popu- 
larity, the  thickly  inhabited  County  of  Hamil- 
ton. This  he  cannot  do.  for  'it  is  now  under- 
stood that  he  is  least  liked  where  he  is  best 
known.  His  friends  in  the  convention — and  he 
was  supported  by  .some  of  the  most  disreputa- 
ble wire-pullers  I  and  political  tricksters  in  the 
State — talked  a. great  deal  about  his  immense 
wealth  and  his  ability  and  willingness  to 
"bleed  freely."  But  even  in  this  the  Demo<rratic 
faithful  have  be^n  deceived.  It  is  now  known 
that  Mr.  Bishop's  "  immense  wealth"  amounts 
to  just  about  S200.000.  and  he  has  already 
Stated  in  confldefnce.  to  some  of  the  dear  friends 
who  approached  I  him  on  the  subject,  that  he  is 
not  willing  to  spend — indeed,  that  he  will  not 
spend— more  thian  $0,000  or  $S,000  in  the 
coming  campaign.  This  has  been  a  terrible 
blow  to  the  politifal  wire-pullers  already  men- 
tioned, for"  they  know  from  experience 
iJtat  $10,000  i  would  not  pay  for  the 
whisky  that  j  mu.^t  flow  before  even 
Hamilton  County  can  be  carried  for  the 
Democracy.  And  just  here  I  must  not  forget 
to  mention  that!  R.  M.  Bishop,  the  Demoip;tic 
candidate  for  Oovemor-  of  Ohio,  is  a  lea*.ing 
liifht  in  the  temperance  movement,  a  friend  of 
the  cnisaders  I  There  ia  no  State  in  the  Union 
where  the  liquor  question  enters  so  much  into 
politics  and  political  duscussions  as  it  does  here. 
The  flght  between  the  temperance  and  antj- 
teniperance  petiple,  the  Sunday  lager  and  anti- 
.Suntlay  lager  parties,  Ls  continually  going  on 
in  one  form  or  another.  Naturally,  the 
rank  and  file  of  the  Democracy,  the  masses 
of  the  party,  are  against  the  temperance  move- 
ment, and  the  Germans,  who  hold  the  balanco 
of  political  power  in  Ohio,  are  to  a  man  in  favor 
of  **  Sunday  lager  "  and  **  non-interference  with 
personal  rights."  By  nominating  Mr.  Bishop 
the  Democrats  have  thrown  away  any  chance 
they  had  of  securing  this  immense  vote,  for,  in 
addition  to  being  one  of  the~ieaders  in  the 
present  temperance  movement,  he  still  boawts 
that  while  be  was  3Iayor  of  Cincinnati  the  Sun- 
day laws  were  strictly  enforced,  and  the  sale 
of  liquor  or  beer  on  the  Sabbath  rcnderod 
impossilile.  The  Germans  of  Hamilton  County 
have  not  forgotten  what  some  of  them  .still  call 
"  dot  dry  time  mit  Bishop."  But  it  is  not  alone 
because  of  his  temperance  work  that  the  Dem- 
ocratic nominee  is  disliked  by  the  Germans. 
They  and  all  other  foreign-bom  citizens  of  Ohio 
have  still  more  weighty  causes  of  complaint 
against  him.  He  was  one  of  the  bitterest  and 
most  uncompromising  leaders  in  the  old  Ameri- 
can Party,  and  in  1859  was  elected  to  the  chief 
magistracy  of  Cincinnati  on  the  Know  Nothing 
ticket-  He  is  now  a  Trustee  of  the  South- 
em  Railroad,  and  on  account  of  that 
connection  not  particularly  well  liked  by 
upright  business  men,  who  believe  that  when 
people  invest  $16,000,000  they  should  have 
something  to  show  for  their  money.  Jabez  W. 
Fitch,  of  Cuyahoga,  who  is  on  the  ticket  for 
Lieutenant-Governor,  is  somewhat  more  widely 
if  not  better  known  than  Sir.  Bishop.  He  is 
called  "General"  here  by  people  who  want  to 
be  amusing,  and  is  noted  principally  because  of 
his  strong  dislike  for  the  smeU  of  gunpowder. 
During  the  war  this  constitutional  ailment  was 
a  sad  trouble  to  "  General*'  Fitch,  and  prevented 
him  from  winning  that  glory  on  the  battle-field 
which  might  otherwise  nave  been  his. 

The  platform  adopted  by  the  Democratic  Con- 
vention is  quite  as  open  to  criticism  as  are  the 
candidates  who  stand  upon  it.  Of  course,  this 
fact  will-  have  no  weight  with  the  masses  of 
ignorant  men  who  go  to  make  up  the  main 
strength  of  the  Democratic  Party..  A3a**Georgia 
Cracker"  Congressman  once  said  of  his  poor 
white  constitnenta.  '*They  can't  readany  way,  so 
it  makes  no  difference  how  much  the  newspapers 
abuse  me."  While  this  is  tme,  however,  I  find 
that  some  of  the  more  respectable  Democrats, 
thinking  men,  who  believe  m  the  partv  and  be- 
long toit  from  principle,  are  exceedingly  indig- 
nant at  the  ludicrous  way  in  which  the  resolu- 
tions have  been  drawn  and  the  almost  grotesque 
differences  which  exist  between  them  and  the 
character  and  records  of  the  candidate  ytiio  are 
to  present  them  to  the  people.  For  ii^tance, 
Mr,  Bishop,  where  he  is  known  at  all,  Is  chiefly 
remarkable  for  Ms  interference  with  the  per- 
sonal rights  and  modes  of  life  of  the  people 
of  Cincinnati :  yet  the  Democratic  platform,  is 
moet  explicit  in  its  opposition  to  all  sumptuary 
laws.  Fraud  is  denounced,  and  the  Republican 
Party  charged  with  fraudulent  practices.  Yet, 
in  the  very  same  article,  almost  in  the  same  sen- 
tence, the  new  Ohio  registry  law  is  denounced 
as  oppressive.  The  ioke  of  this,  if  I  may  use- 
the  expresokm,  iriU  be  better  appreciated  when 
I  ^itia  stated  that  tha  vcoet  Uv  rofarrad  to  vm 


passed  expressly  for  the  pmrpose  of  guarding 
against  such  wholesale  frauds  as  those 
committed  by  the  Democratic  repeaters 
last  Fall.  I  One  of  the  resolutions 
compliments  the  President  in  a  roundabout 
sort  of  a  way,  and  congratulates  the  coimtry 
because  he  has  adopted  what  is  called  the  Dem- 
ocratic policy  regMding  the  Southern  States. 
In  another  resolution,  however,  the  framers  of 
the  patflh-work  platform,  evidently  repenting  of 
this  semi-indorsement  of  Mr.  Haves,  denounce 
him  in  strong  terms  for  his  use  of  the  regular 
troops,  and  declare  in  a  vague  kind  of  way 
that  such  use  of  the  nailitary  is  **  im- 
justifiably  destructive  of  the  rights  of  the 
people  and  the  States,"  This  remarkable  ex- 
pression must,  of  course,  relate  to  the  commend- 
able promptness  with  which  the  Administration 
sent  troops  to  Maryland  on  the  recent  requisi- 
tion of  John  Lee  Carroll,  the  Democratic  Gov- 
ernor of  that  State.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
a  nice  regard  for  constitutional  law  prevented 
the  President  from  complying  with  a  similar 
request  made  by  S.  B.  Packard,  the  le- 
gally elected  Governor  of  Louisiana,  and 
Daniel  H.  Chamberlain,  the  Republican  chief 
magistrate  of  South  Carolina.  Regarding  the 
money  plank  in  the  platform,  there  is  much 
dissatisfaction.  The  convention,  in  adopting  it 
tried  to  please  Everybody,  and  succeeded  in 
pleasing  nobody.  In  short,  the  Democrats  have 
made  a  blunder  all  round,  and  if  the  Republi-

REPORT  TO  THE  LOCAL  POLICY-HOLDERS  ON 
jTHE  CONpITIOK  OF  THE  COMPANY — HOW 
'THE  NETy  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  WILL 
BE  ORGANIZED — EXTRAVAGANT  EXPENDI- 
TURES LOPPED   OFF. 

Special  Dispatch  to  the  Xnir-  York  Times, 

Hartford,  Conn.,  July  31.— A  special 
meeting  of  the  local  policy-holders  of  the  Charter 
Oak  Life  was  held  this  evening,  to  hear  the 
report  of  their  committee  previously  appointed 
to  look  into  the  affairs  of  the  company.  A  fa- 
vorable report  was  presented,  in  which  it  was 
stated  that  at  an  early  day  the  Board  of  Directors 
would  be  increased  to  10,  and  the  policy-holders 
would  be  asted  to  select  two  members,  so  that 
they  will  then^  for  the  first  time,  have  a  voice 
in  the  management  of  the  company's  affairs. 
Gov.  Jewell  informed  your  correspondent  this 
afternoon  that  he  issued  orders  reducing  the 
office  force  one-half,  giving  those  remaining 
33  per  cent,  less  pay.  and  by  various  oth<»r 
economies  had  rednci^d  the  annual  expenses  of 
officers,  clerks,  and  office  items,  from  $100,000 
per  annum-  to  less  than  $50,000.  An  illustra- 
tion of  the  extravagant  salaries  that  havo  be^n 
paid  is  that  of  the  colored  janitor,  who  had 
$1,500  a  year.  A  statement  is  circulated  that 
the  Sp«*cial  Insurance  Commission  appoioteil  by 
the  Legislature  is  now  preparinc  or  will  soon 
prepare,  a  supplementary  report  on  the  Charter 
Oak's  condition  that  wiU  be  of  an  unfavorahle 
character.  Mr.  Cleveland,  of  the  Commission. 
says  that  thei  statement  is  made  without  au- 
thority. It  isi  qtiito  erident  that  pven  if  such  a 
report  .sho^ild  !  be  made,  the  company  is  now  too 
strongly  backed  by  responsible  men  to  bo  hurt 
by  it.  i  _

The  case  for  Prof.  Doutzla-ss,  when  developed

AFFRAY. 

Spmal  THspalch  to  the  yew- York  Time*.  j 

RoNDOUT,  N.  Y.,  July  31, — An  excursion  r 
from  Troy  landed  in  this  city  to-day  with  the 
roughest  crowd  that  ever  visited  th*»  place.  A 
rush  was  made  for  th«  gin-mills  immediately 
upon  their  arrival,  and,  as  the  result,  several 
rows  occurred,  and  a  Rondout  oflflcer,  endeavor- 
ing to  make  an  arrest,  was  resisted  and  did  not 
succeed  in  securing  his  man.  The  most  serious 
affray  grew  out  of  a  dispute  on  the  labor  ques- 
tion. A  voung  man  named  Kyrun  deary  had 
taken  work  after  a  strike  hy  the  union  molders, 
and  to-day  several  of  the  union  men  taimte<i 
him  with  beinj:  a  "  wab"  niolder,  pulled  a 
parasol  away  from  a  woman  who  was  with 
Clearj*.  and  insulted  him.  Cleary  drew  a  pistol, 
and  the  weapon  went  off,  whether  deslcnedly 
or  not  cannot  be  ascertained.  He  ^handled  the 
pistol  so  clumsily  that  he  was  wounded  in  the 
hand  himself.  The  ball  alao  struck  a  vest-button 
upon  the  man  at  whom  it  was  pointed,  and 
glancing  from  it  struck  James  Ryan  in  the  side, 
seriously  wounding  him.  The  latter  was  not 
conceme*!  in  the  dispute.  The  physician  thinks 
Ryan  will  recover.  Cleary  was  arrested  by  a 
policeman  who  accompanied  the  excursion,  and 
taken  to  Troj\ 

ARREST  OF  A  RUXA  WAT  CLERK. 

Worcester,  Mass.,  July  31. — Henry  S. 
Rumery,  clerk  to  Rice  &  YThiting,  brokers,

in  charge  of  a  detective.  A  few  weeks  ago 
Rumery  altered  a  check  of  $500  to  $3,500, 
and  ran  away  in  company  with  a  woman  of  the

in  traveling,  and  was  swindled  out  of  $2,300

The  position  of  the  Russians  in  the  Schipka

cent dispatch  of  tiToops  and  the  fleet  to  the  East. 
The  expense  is  very  small.  In  fact,  it  Is  very 
doubtful  whether  it  will  be  necessary  at  all  to 
ask  for  any  further  sum  in  the  coin-se  of  the

them  should  theirjbasiage  be  opposed. 

An  Athens  dispatch  [to  the  Timsfi  says :  ''Let- 
ters describing  the  outrages  at  Kavama  are  caus- 
ing much  indignation.  The  accounts,  though 
exaggerated,  are  jbelibved  to  be  substantially 
true.  The  Sphakiotes  in  Crete  are  defying  the

cil  held  to-day  a  resolution  was  adopted  virtually 
ordering  the  mobilization  of  the  Army.  The 
resolution  authorizes  Count  Andra.s;?y  to  effect 
mobilization  within  limited  bounds,  should  he 
deem  such  a  course  necessary. 

Berlin.  July  31. — The  North  German  Gazette. 
says  it  learns  from  a  trustworthy  source  that 
the  mi  litany  measures  which  Austria  may  de- 
termine upon  would  only  consist  of  the  mobiliza- 
tion of  four  divisions.  Neither  of  iLhese,  nor 
any  subsequent  measures,  will  interfere  with 
the  excellent  relations  existing  between  Russia 
and  Austria. 

Pksth,  July  31— The  Pesther  Lloyd  pub- 
lishes a  Vienna  .special  stating  that  the  Minis- 
try have  decided  to  mobilize  three  army  corps, 
which  will  be  echeloned  on  the  frontiers  of 
Dalmatia,  Croatia,  and  Slavonia. 

Tho  Tinier'  occasional  coi  respondent  at 
Vienna  states  that  the  MinLsterial  Council,  un- 
der the  Presidency  of  the  Emperor,  sat 
from  11  o'clock  until  4.  Mobilization  haa 
l>een  decided  upon  in  principle,  but  it 
wil  1  be  for  Count  Andras.sy  to  fix  the 
time  when  these .  measures  shall  be  put 
into  execution.  Contingencies  may  cause 
this  at  any  '  moment.  The  importance 
of  the  resolution  is  not  that  two  or  three 
army  corps  will  be  placed  on  a  war  foot- 
ing, but  that  the  Empire  is  going  to  abandon 
its  passive  attitude  for  one  of  armed 
.neutrality.  From  :-*:^,000,000  to  24.000.0()(» 
florins  must  be  raised  for  mobilization.  It  is 
probable,  therefore,  that  applications  will  be 
noade  to  the  Rothschilds  or  the  Bankverein.

London,  July  .SI. — The-Rmter  dispatch 
from  Paris,  stating  that  L'Ordre,  the  official 
journal  of  the  Bonapartists.  publishes  a  letter 
signed  by  M.  Rouher  and  others,  repudiating 
M.  De  Cassagnac's  militant  policy,  and  pro- 
claiming tlieir  adherence  to  President  Jlac- 
Jlahon.  is  erroneous.  M.  De  Cassajmac  is  tho 
leader  of  tho  moderate  Bonapartists.  The 
Rouher  party  demand  irap<>ssib]e  eouce.<ssinns 
from  the  Cabinet.  M.  I>e  Cas.sagnac's  paper  is 
at  war  with  the  Oaulois  and  Ordrr.  Tho  latter 
i.<i  M.  Rouher's  organ.  A  Bfinapartist  commit- 
tee, consisting  of  the  Due  de  Padoue  and  MM. 
Jolil)ois  and  Rouher,  yestenlay  published  a 
letter  condemning  M.  De  Cassaguac,  and  telling 
him  that  he  has  rifi  idea  of  the  djflh'ulties  and 
unwammtabln  claims  they  are  contending 
ae:*inst ;  that  h?  h:is  inconsiderately  interfered

will  justify  them  in  tho  ey.-s  of  the  party.

LoNiiON",  July  :U. — An  official  telograia 

from  the  Viceroy  of  India,  dated  .luly  HI.  gives 
:i  mther  more  favorable  impression  as  to  famine 
prospects  than  previous  reports.  He  says  that 
in  Burmah  the  rain  has  been  sufTicient,  and 
the  condition  of  agriculture  is  satisf.-wtory. 
In  Bencral  some  districts  still  want  rain. 
but  general  apprehensions  are  removed.  In 
the  north-west  provinces  and  Oude  th(>  drought 
causes  anxiety,  but  tliere  is  still  tinio  for  an  av- 
erage harve:«t.  In  tho  R.-ijputana  rain 
is  wanted  in  parts,  but  tho  pros- 
jM^i- 1  s  are  fair.  I  n  Assam ,  t  he  Central 
Provinces  and  Berar  tho  prospects  aro  fjuito

in  ICastcni  Bombay.  In  the  Deccan.  agricul-

rain-fall  on  the  western  coast  is  at  present  very 
sMiall  for  tlie  si'a.*ion.  The  Nizam's  territory 
is  much  distressed  ;  there  has  been  no  rain 
for  a  month,  hut  two  inches  have  just 
fallen  in  Mysore  and  Corp.  More

In  .Madras  there  have  been  fair  showers  in  all

SAR.ATOGA,  N.  Y..  July  31.— In  the  Ellis 
trial  to-day,  at  the  opening  of  the  sesdon  of  the 
Senate,  Mr.  Best,  Receiver  of  ^  the  Mechanics' 
and  Traders'  Bank,  corrected  some  points  of  his 
testimony  regarding  the  time  required  to  ascer- 
tain the  condition  of  tho  bank.  On  his  cross- 
examination,  by  Mr.  McGuire,  the  witness  said 
tho  depreciation  of  stocks  caused  the  insolvei|cy 
of  the  bank ;  the  bank  held  Southern  States 
stock  that  had  not  paid  the  interest ;  he  said 
that  sometimes  a  rlerk  would  take  15  hours  to 
investigate  a  einpl »  dividend.  Isaac  Smith,  a 
cU-rk  in  the  department,  produced  the  report  of 
the  Mechanics'  and  Traders'  Bank  for  January, 
1S7*?.  It  was,  he  said,  found  to  be  incorrect, 
and  returned  to  have  the  schedule  filled  out ; 
the  President  of  the  bank  brought  the 
answer  up  to  Albany  and  saw  Ellis  ;  it  was 
not  unusual  to  return  reports  for  correction. 
An  additional  report  came  Feb.  2t>  :  it  was  sent 
by  the  Commis-sioner  to  Examiner  Reid  in 
March:  in  Maybe  reported,  and  in  June  Ellis 
had  the  Attorney-General  proceed  to  close  the 
bank  ;  the  item  of  $1..^00  in  the  report  as  paid 
to  Examiners  meant  the  sum  paid  two  Trustee.^. 
H.  L.  Lamb,  Deputy  Superintendent,  was  called, 
and  produced  the  commis.sion  appointing  Reid 
to  examine  the  Merchants'  and  Traders'  Bank

deliciency  in  the  a^i-sets  of  $J*l,8t*??  3J<,  and  in 
Xlx*'  income  of  .$30..54ft  IS.  .Several  letters 
written  during  the  examination  were  read.  He 
told  Mr.  Ellis  that  he  diil  not  think 
the  b.^nk  officers  ■were  honest,  aiid  read  a  letter 
to  tile  Attorney-General,  datod  June  1.  lS7«i. 
to  close  the  bank.  IMr.  R«;!d.  Bank  Examiner, 
was  called,  and  testified  that  he  had  several  con- 
versations with  Mr.  Ellis  in  rejrard  to  the  condi- 
tion of  the  bank.  Frederick  P.  B^-llamy  was 
sworn,  and  testified  that  he,  in  behalf  of  two 
Tnistees,  entered  complaint  against  the  bank  to 
the  Attorney-General.  Sen.'itor  ilcCarthy  asked 
Mr-  Lamb  if  it  were  possible  for  the  Superin- 
tfi.tleiit  or  deputy-  of  the  Bank  Department  to 
have  an  actual  knowle<ljre  of  the  r^olvency  or  in- 
solvency of  all  the  savings  banks  in  the  Slate. 
Mr.  i^amli  replied  that  their  only  kufiwledge  is 
received  thr-nigh  the  bank  report.**.  H.Me 
Ivin^rsley.  (Me.rk  of  Albany  County,  was  sworn,

ary with  tlic  dcpartntont  before  Ellis*  time  to  al-

said  .Mr.  Reid  had  general  directions  to  watch

Senator  Vedder  asked  if  any  weak  banks  al-

In  reply  to  Senator  McCiirthy,  ^tr.  Lamb  sai*!

In:;  new  here.  About  a  dozen  trains  were 
mcive.l  west  of  Keyser  tc-day,  all  of  the  old  men 
needed  going  to  work.  The  road  is  now  work- 
iiijr  I«eiween  Baltimore  and  Parkersburg.  but  no 
Ir.Mzht  trains  have  yet  moved  on  the  Wheeling 
tiivisii.u.  It  is  thought  they  will  be  moved  to-

ot'  ill'*  l.*a.Uo<j  turbulent  ones',  but  is  not  acting

Kf.v..^ER.  WestVa..  Julv  31— 2:40  A.  M.— A 
aii..^turrily  attempt  at  wrecking  trains  was  made 
two  miles  we.st  of  here  last  night.  Battery  E.

duly,  ^^*he^  they  reached  a  point  two  miles 
v.'e:,'r  of  here  the  locomotive  tender  and  one  car 
•were  thrown  from  the  track  by  a  displaced 
f- witch.  The  train  was  moving  at  the  rate  Qf

ii-iitn  woi:Iilhave  been  thrown  down  an  einbank- 
r.uiil  «iih  serious  loss  of  life.  The  only  per- 
s'.r.ul  injury  was  to  private  George  Hamilton, 
(vli'i  hail  his  leg  badly  crushed  betT\een  the  cab 
iii.l  tender.  Upon  examination  it  was  found 
that  the  three  switches  ot  the  main  track  were 
unl'.fked  and  thrown  open.  The  locks  were 
fniiiul  on  the  track  near  bv.  A  portion  of  the 
baiiery  proceeded  to  walk  to  Piedmont,  and 
jih>-'rs  utilized  a  hand-cjir  which  they  found 
fu  lii.-ron.  A  gtiard  was  left  to  take  charge  of 
the  d!-.abled  train.  Nobody  was  seen  in  the 
vicinitv.

mii.le  an  address  to  the  crows  who  brought  in 
the  two  (Jr.'Jton  trains,  inaugurating  the  open-

was  due  to  them,  and  in  consideration  of 
WwXt  loyalty  he  will  to-morrow -present  them 
ii-ith  .■!i.'>0  each.  Only  a  lew  of  the 
engineers  in  the  Third  Tivision  were  on  a  strike. 
Kverything  is  now  quiet.  There  were  few 
present  at  the  anival  of  the  freight  trains  at 
11emi.ont  and  Keyser,  and  there  was  not  much 
e.\citcment.  There  may  be  some  trouble  at 
Keyser  and  Piedmont  yet,  but  the  troops  will 
take  prompt  action. 

7,u(er.— The  blockade  here  was  raised  this 
morning,  men  being  had  to  go  to  work  without 
difflculty.  Trains  are  now  moving  west  under

that  they  had  intimidated  conductors,  driven 
engineers  from  their  engines,  and  placed  -pb- 
strtictions  in  the  way  of  freight  trains 
at  Peoria.  The  rioters  were  James 
Mack,  James  Ennis,  George  |  Hanip- 
ton,  Monroe  Jeffries,  Julius  Silhausen, 
Kicholas  Hoflman,  Philip  Kerber,  alttd  Julius 
Soberer.  It  was  admitted  by  Ennis  and  Slack 
that  the  charges  were  substantially  true;  that 
they  were  carried  away  by  the  excitement  and 
did  wrong.  The  testimony  that  f  oEowed  showed, 
that  these  two  men  were  the  leaders 
of  the  rioters.  Judge  Drummond  passed 
sentence  upon  the  rioters  by  giving  Mack  and 
Ennis  four  months  each  in  the  County  Jail,  and 
the  othea-s  two  months.  Imposing,  also,  a  iine  on 
all.  Upon  liberation  they  'will  be  indicted  bv 
the  Grand  Jury  in  Peoria,  and  niade  to  stand 
further  trial  for  their  acts. 

There  is  little  or  no  excitement  here  at  pres- 
ent in  the  matter  of  the  strikes.  The  railroad 
men  to-day  are  watching  carefully  the  outcome 
of  the  rumors  regarding  the  action  of  the  en- 
gineers on  the  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy 
Road.  It,  was  reported  that  they  would  in- 
sist upon  an  increase  of  '  wages,  but 
up  to  10:30  to-night  nothing;  definite 
was  heard  concerning  it  The  strike, 
so  far  as  the  Chicago  lumbermen  ar^  concerned, 
is  at  an  end.  Most  of  the  employes  have  re- 
turned to  work  at  the  old  rate  of  $1  25  per 
day.  EieRular  troops  are  still  on  guard  at  the 
water  and  ga^  works.  A  movement  lis  on  foot 
among  prominent  manufacturers  of  furniture  to 
reduce  the  number  of  working  hours  from  ten 
to  eighti  which  is  equivalent  to  increasing  the 

wages  20  per  cent 

The  extent  of  the  camasre,  so  Rraphicallv  de- 
tailed by  some  papers  last  Friday,  may  be 
gleaned  from  the  fact  that  five  ccrtifipates  only 
have  been  thus  far  granted  for  burial  of  persons 
killed  in  the  riots.  Gov.  CuUom  has 
adricesi  from  the  Sheriffs  of  ^hose  coun- 
ties iif  this  State  where  the  recent  dis- 
turbances occurred  to  the  efiject  that 
all  riote^  will  be  arrested  and  brought  to  the 
notice  oif  the  Grand  Juries.  Twenty-sis  men 
who  interfered  with  a  road  in  the  hands  of  a 
Receivar  of  the  United  States  Court  were  on 
trial  in  Springfield  to-day.

C'oLt'MBus,  Ohio,  July  31. — The  news  that 
Gov.  Young  had  recalled  the  military  has  evi- 
dently had  the  effect  of  throwing  the  riotous 
strikers  into  dismay,  as  but  few  of  them  have 
been  s^en  about  the  freight  yards  to-day,  ana 
the  railway  managers  have  had  everything  their 
own  way.  No  freight  trains,  however,  were 
^sent  out  on  the  Indianapolis  or  Eastern  Divis-

Baltimore,  Md.,  July  31. — The  examina- 
tion of  witnesses  before  the  jury  of  inquest  In 
the  riot  case  was  continued  to-day. 

Officer  Blake  testified  that  he  went  to  the  Sixth 
Re^cliuent  Armory  about  7  o'clock ;  there  were  about 
2,000  men  and  boys  there  making  a  noise  and  throw- 
ing 8tono9  at  the  soldiers;  recognized  Kirby  and 
Crane  acting  as  liogleaders  and  urging  on  the  riot- 
ers; the  bricks  and  stones  thrown  wore  the  largest 
that  could  be  found ;  the  soldiers  tried  to  get  out  of 
the  armory,  when  they  were  driven  back  by  the  mob 
by  stones  and  pistol-shots ;  the  soldiers  fired  over  the 
mob  from  the  stairs,  and  when  they  came  out  again 
they  fired  right  into  the  mob ;  the  soldiers  did 
not  fire  a  shot  until  they  were  attacked  by  the  mob, 
and  no  shots  were  fired  from  tha  armory  windows ; 
after  jthe  soldiers  fired,  the  mob  retreated  toward 
Baltimore- street :  the  crowd  comprised  men  and 
boys  ;  heard  no  order  given  to  fire  ;  Col.  Peters  came 

out  on  the  street  with  the  third  company,  and  after 

they  started  the  Colonel  returned  to  the  armory. 
During.  th6  examination  of  this  witness,  at  the  re- 
quest of  the  Coroner,  the  reporters  were  temporarily 
excluded  from  the  room. 

Police  Sergeant  Kowe  testified  that  he  went  to  the 
armory  with  Officer  Brown;  saw  the  crowd  rush  oa 
the  sentinuls  and  knock  them  down ;  went  to  tho 
rescue  of  sentinels,  and  succeeded  in  getting  them 
into  the  armory ;  the  crowd  was  very  disorderly ;  he 
reported  to  Capt.    T-<*"Ttn"i  and  received  orders  to 

gather  up  all  the  men  he  could  and  get  them  to  the 
armory ;  he  was  warned  by  Oflicer  De\-ine  to  be  care- 
ful or  he  would  get  his  head  knocked  off  with  a 
.stone ;  at  this  moment  a  large  stone  passed  close  to 
his  bead  and  sma-shed  the  glaRs;  from  that  time 
there  was  a  continual  volley  of  missiles  thrown 
at  tho  armory,  and  sc.ircely  a  moment 
elapsed  when  bricks  and  stones  were  not  thrown. 
^Vitness  taien  described  the  sortie,  made  by  the  sol- 
diers from  the  armory,  and  added  that  he  thought 
the  lives  of  the  solUiers  were  in  great  danger,  and  did 
not  believe  iht-y  could  have  got  out  without*ibootinc  ; 
s»w  no  firing  from  the  windows  of  the  armory  ;  the 
crowd  seemed  to  be  opposed  to  the  soldiers  and  not 
to  the  l\'Hce  :  whenever  a  soldier  showed  his  face 
Bome  of  the  crowd  would  threaten  him.

he  assisted  him  to  change  his  apparel ;  the  man  who 
Rave  the  order  to  tire  wore  the  unifurm  of  an  officer 
itud  bad  a  !twi>rd  in  his  hand;  there  were  not  more 
thou  H>  or  20  men  in  the  company  ;  thought  at  the 
time  that  the  soldiers  were  tiring  blank  cartridges, 
and.  cot  being  ufntid,  stood  in  hw  front  door,  and

'  George  \V.  Bishop,  Adjutant  of  tho  Sixth  Begi- 
ment;  testified:  Was  at  the  armory  on  the  night  of 
the  riot ;  left  the  armory  with  Capt.  Tapper's  com- 

Jtanyb  the  company  was  assailed  with  stones,  and

boys  at  the  beginning,  but  a  crowd  of  25  or  30  men 
came  up  and  pushed  the  boys  out ;  these  men  were 
very  abusive. 

Willis  Gardner,  Captain  Company  B,  Sixth  Regi- 
ment, testified  :  Started  from  the  armory  with  Com- 
pany I.  Witness  reiterated  the  testimony  with  re- 
gara  to  stone  throwing  and  pistol  firing, 
and  continued :  Heard  Col.  Peters  tell  tha  man 
not  to  fire ;  was  struck  by  a  xoit- 
silo  on  the  head  in  front  of  tho  ar- 
mory^^ieard  no  order  given  to  fire,  but  heaxd 
Capt;.  Tapper  order  the  men  not  to  fire  ;  heard  men 
in  the, company  say  *' "Why  don't  you  fire  I  "  there 
was  no  firing  from  the  armory  windows  ;  heard  some 
of  the  men  say  on  tho  street,  "  Turn  and  fire,"  but 
not  an  officer ;  could  not  say  who  gave  thai  com- 
mand ;  did  not  see  any  of  the  men  step  from  the 
ranks  near  Light-street  and  fire  ;  one  of  the  soldiers, 
Young,  was  knocked  down  on  Baltimore-street,  in 
front  of  the  old  iluseum  property  ;  CoL  Peters  was 
with  the  regiment  in  the  armory. 

A  number  of  other  witnesses  were  examined,  but 
no  new  facta  of  importance  were  elicited.  There 
was  great  discrepancy  and  positive  contradiction  as 
to  firing  from  the  armory  windows  by  the  men  of  the 
regiment.    Adjourned  tmtil  to-morrow.

The  offieiall  of  the  PeimsylTani»  lUlIioad 

Company  ill  thU  City  stated  to  a  reporter  of  The 
Times  yesterdia^  that  they  were  wholly  ignorant  aa 
to  the  preseins I  relations  between  that  company  and 
the  shippen  and  consignees  of  the  freight  that  was 
destroyed  [by  I  t^e  rioters  at  Pittshnrg.  They  be- 
lieved, howiveh  that  no  conflict  will  arise  between 
the  partioflj  zoenfionied,  for  the  reason  that  the 
management  of  the  railroad  company  is  'wise  and 
generous.  Mr.  Samuel  Goodman,  Assistant  General 
Freight  Agent  of  I  the  New- York  Central  Railroad, 
said  that,  ui  the  evfint  of  trouble  between  the  Penn- 
sylvania iEailroad  Company  aud  its  present 
patrons,  the  New- York  C5entral  would  make 
no  special  endeavor  to  procure  the  freight 
bnsiness  fit  the  Pennsylvania  Company  between 
Philadelphia  and  the  West.  It  would  not  refrain, 
however,  on  account  of  any  obligation  imposed  by 
the  "  pooling"  system.  That  s\'8tera  applied  only  to 
New- York  freight.  The  Central  Road  gave  special 
attention  cftilyjtb  business  to  and  from  this  City,  and 
while  it  wdyldi  not^reject  business  at  any  other  point 
it  did  not  Mend!  to  work  it  up.  The  road  had 
communicatioh   with    Philadelphia    by  two    routes 


— over  this  |  I<ehigh  Valley  and  the  Dela- 
ware, Lackawanna  and  Western  Roads  from 
Weedfportl  i  and  Syracuse.  They  werfe  formed 
merely  fot_  the  accommodation  of  th^  Western 
shippers  of  imb  ''■— tr.^1,  but  whatever  freight  is 
offered  at  or  tor  Philadelphia  for  transmission  over 
those  routes  will  be  accepted.  Of  course,  Mr.  Grood- 
man  said,  no  freight  would  be  offered  to  the  Central 
at  Philadelphia  for  carriage  to  New- York,  as  the  dis- 
tance by  their  route  is  too  great.  Shippers  aro  not 
likely  to  seiid  their  freight  over  500  miles  by  way  of 
the  Central  Road  when  they  can  transmit  It  to  >  ew- 
Yorkby  wiy  olf;  the  Pennsylvania  Road,  a  distance 
from  Philadelphia  lot  only  96  miles.

END  Or||THE  I  STRIKE  IN  NEW-JERSEY. 
Gov.  Bcidle  said  yesterday  that,  owing  to  the 
disturbance  jnj  Pennsylvania,  be  did  not  think  it 
safe  for  the  I  present  to  withdraw  the  Militia.  He 
cotild  not  sajr  whether  the  general  condition  of  peace 
prevailing  throizghout  New-Jersey  was  the  result  of  a 
wholo8ome|fear  |of  theKUitia,  or  whether,  if  tho  re- 
straint were  TCJmoved,  the  strikers  wcmld  become 
violent.  A  ^lewi  days  wotild  enable  ^him  to  judge.

stopped  fttiPlyriouth,  Penn.,  by  a  mob  of  DOG  per- 
sons, andiron  an  a  'siding  and  left  there,  the  naa-

that  road  ajad  ^n  the  Lehigh  Valley  Road,  both  of 
which     terifoinate     at     Easton,    are     not    running. 

The  coali  wheelers  at  Bergen  Point  rtill  continue  to

ANli      DRIVEN      FROM      THEIR 


FnhrxOie  San Frartciaeo  AUa.  July  24. 

In  this  c:  ty  i  here  is  not  even  the  flimsy  excuse 
for  lawless?  ess  that  has  been  taken  advantage  of  at 
the  East.  5  lut  he  lawless  classes  are  here,  as  they 
areinaUcrialiities ;  and  for  want  of  any  other 
rallj-ing  cry  tije;'  last  |night  rai.<!ed  tho  worn-out  howl 
about  the  C  lint  se.  A  gang  of  men  and  boy.i.  vari- 
oubly  t**.t!m*te<j  at  fi-ora  5l>0  to  1..^00.  swept,  yell- 
ing and  dtihiut.  throbgh  aomeof  our  street*-,  leaving 
in  their  patt  the  wiW-ks  of  all  houses  occupied  by 
Chinese.  On  Gear^-,  Post,  and  Lupont  streets,  and 
in  the  nortnemjpart  of  of  the  city  us  well  as  south  of 
murket-slrejet  t^iey  thus  wantonly  destroyed  private 
properly.  '  They  seeined  to  move  vith  a  defined  plan. 
Their  first  act  was  tO  fire  a  house  on  the  corner  of 
Leavenwoifl|h  aid  Geary  streeis,  e\'lileatJy  with  the 
intention  tir^  dndvv  tht  main  body  of  the  Police  force 
to  that  point,  and  so  leave  their  way  open  to  China- 
town propM.  This  scheme  failed  however,  the  Po 
lice  reserving  themselves  for  the  main  point  of  at- 
tack, and  so  suoctoding  in  finally  heading  off  the  mob. 

The  hooflhim  element  w»8  drawn  lo«ether-by  the 
working  i^icu's  mass-meeting,  and  it  was  at  the  new 
Citv  liall  where  the  leaders  got  their  fnUowers  to- 
gether and  laid  their  plans  for  the  criminal  acts 
which  were  subHcqncntly  romiuitted  by  them.  While 
the  meotint  was  in  session,  this  gang  .started  away 
with  yells  and, shouts,  fully  intent  ujmn  tlie  hellish 
work  which  they  accompiis^hed.  1  p  -McAllister, 
along  Leayjenworth  and  other  utreetfi^hey  rushed, 
singing,  snpatiig,  sWearing.  and  yelling.  A  grocery 
store  on  the  comer  of  Taylor  and  Post  was  ransacked 
for  liquorJ  pud  other  places  in  the  neighborhuod  suf- 
fered froiti  thtir  depredations.  On  the  south-west 
corner  of  tveArenw-orth  and  Gear\'  street.s  was  a 
two-story  ]ran|e  building  with  a  basement.  Th*^ 
b!u<ement  i  wiis  occupied  as  a  Chinese  wash- 
house  anij  the  upper  part  as  a  fr:iit  store  and 
dwelling.  The  vicious  g^ng  rushed  Into  tho  wash- 
house,  beat  the|Chinese  inmates  wlio  hod  not  effect- 
ed a  retreat  scattered  the  clothing  upon  the  floor, 
smashed  th  •  wilndciws,  battered  down  the  doom,  and 
broke  the  *i  1  lamps  agaiust  the  wa'ls.  A  portion  of 
thecTowdriad^a  oud  on  the  fruil-wtand  aud  threw 
the  content  >  iulo  the  street.  ITie  burning  oil  set  the 
buildiuf:  on  firej  and;  in  a  few  minuten  tho  house  was 
in  a  blaze.]  An|olannof  fire  was  turned  in,  and  the 
departmcnit  came  speedily  upon  the  irround-  The 
inmates  ofj '  he  hpper  part  of  tho  building  were  res- 
cued with  pr<>iat  ;  trouble,  and  it  was  onlvbythe 
greatest  exrrtii^sthiat  a  lady  who  had  retired  for  the 
night  was 'laved.  Another  piece  of  deviltry  prac- 
ticed was  in  cutting  the  hose  leading  from  the  on- 
pines.  Thiii  wais  done  in  several  places,  scarcely  one- 
half  of  the  ^at^r,  lu  some  instances,  passing  through 
the  severedihMls- 

Vf'hlle  the  firemen  were  eserting  themselves  tosub- 
due  tho  fiames.  ithe  gang  started  down  Geary-street. 
frightening, women  and  children  with  thelrwUd  cries, 
shoving  men  oSt  the  sidewalk,  and  indulging  in  the 
wildest  species  ^  Indian  yells.  On  the  south  side  of 
Gearvstrep^^,  above  Powell,  is  a  Chinese  wash-house, 
with  large  glass  windows  and  door-..  In  five  minutes 
after  theaej  wreicheslrutihed  Into  the  place  the  estab- 
lishment was  completely  gutted  ,-  ov-.y  pane  of  glass 
was  broken  tho  doors  wrenched  from  laetr  liinges  ; 
the  clothes  which  hsd  just  been  washed  trampled 
under  foot,  ^ndlevery  article  of  every  description 
broken  to  pieces.  The  inntates,  apprised  of  their 
danger,  had,  already  fled  and  thus  saved  themselves. 
There  can  fao  no  reHSonahJe  doubt  that  they  would 
have  beeu  uiurdered  had  they  remained.  Another 
wash-house  ou  Post-street,  near  Taylor,  was  similarly 
treated,  ai|d  one  of  the  proprietors  was  beaten  badly 
on  the  street.     I 

An  attack  waKmade  on  the  Gibson  Chinese  Mis- 
sion, No.  916  [Washington-street,  and  stones  were 
fired  at  the  wiiidows.  A  Chinese  wash-house  on  Pa- 
cific-street jnear  Mason,  was  attacked  ;  another  on 
Geary,  near  Joj>es  ;  Tyler,  between  Leavenworth  and 
Hyde  :  Hyllie,  between  OFarrell  and  Genr>-.  and  Fell. 
near  Market-  The  wash-house  at  No.  500  Post- 
street  was  assailed,  and  the  adjoining  plumbers* 
store,  No.  508,, owned  by  Kearny  Bros.,  was  brol^eu 
into,  the  mob  arming  themselves  with  the  brass  im- 
plements ib  the  windows  and  on  the  shelves.  Some 
Chinamen]  fieeing  from  an  attack  on  their  premises, 
and  closely, pureed  by  a   mob.  took  refuge   in   the 

Erocery  stpre  at  the  north-east  comer  of  Turk  and 
eavenwortb  sljreets,  and  the  crowd  following  took 
possessloni  of  tihe  store  and  turned  their  attention 
from  the  Chinese  to  the  liquors,  and  plundered  tho 
place  befoVe  th'jy  left  it.

started  to  jtake  thira  In,  when  a  gang  surrounded  him. 
and  stole  ; his  jistol  from  his  overcoat  pocket,  and 
forced  his  prisooier  away.  The  crowd  followed  down 
Si^th-street,  and  Page  was  assisted  out  of  his  scrape 
by  the  arrival  ^f  Betectivea  Jones  and  Coffey,  who 
by  a  little  strategy  got  the  crowd  off  on  a  wrong 
scent,  at  Market  and  Eddy  streets. 

It  Is  estimated  that  the  damage  to  Chinese  wash- 
houses  and  othjer  property,  \^ill  amount  to  ;^20,000.

The  sidewqik  jju  front  of  several  wash-housos  In  the 
North  Eie4<lh  district  looked  like  a  bed  of  cobblestones. 

In  every  instance  the  Police  acted  with  the  utmost 
promptness  and  reoolution,  and  were  posted  in  every 
part  of  the  town,  with  a  strong  reserve  at  the  City 
Hall,  and  their  presence  in  good  force  had  a  whole- 
some effe<!t  in  ohecking  the  perverse  elements  in  the 
crowds-  The  entire  department  was  on  duty,  tmder 
Chief  EUia,  as^sted  by  Capts.  Lees,  Stone,  Short, 
Pouglas,  Baker,  and  a  number  of  seigeants.  It  was 
observable  that  the  hoodlums,  from  15  to  30,  were 
eonspicuons  in ;  the  violent  demonstrations.  Abont 
11:30  a  procession  of  about  200  passed  down  Post- 
street  from  Stockton,  and  thence  by  Geary  to 
Market,  and  dispersed  in  the  direction  of  Tar  Flat.

Ko  serious  easualtiee  to  Chiriamen  were  reported.

After  the  rioters  aad  become  tired  of  guttinjr  wash- 
houses  ;th^  started  for  Chinatown,  continually  yell- 
bef ore,  the  PoUoe  authoritiea  had  been

speeial  ofScers  were  swom  in  to  assist  the  rigulan.

Sergt.  Harmon,  with  2-t  tnen,  toot  po^  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Callfomta  and  Stockton  streats.  The  rioter*. 
their  ntimbers  now  swelled  into  the  thousands  by  all 

olasses  ot  pMple,  the  in«jority  of  whom  went  aloni; 

with  them  out  of  mere  curiosity,  entered  Dupont- 

street  from^ntter. 'and  rushed  alo-ng  toward  Oilua- 
town.  A  waah-hoajBe  -was  enconnter«d  on  the  east 
side  of  the  street,  nortii  of  Bush,  and  it  quickly  pre- 
sented the  appearance  of  an  exploded  powder-roill. 

The  advance,  composed  entirely  of  the  worst  ele- 
ment, was  stopped  at  Califonua-street  by  Capt. 
Douglas  and  his  posse.  An  order  to  charge  up  the 
"hill  was  given,  and  in  one  minute  some  200  of  the 
gang  were  being  rapidly  driven  up  to  Stockton -street, 
where  the  other  posse  took  them  in  charEO  and  drove 
them  toward  ^lorket.  A  charge  down  California,  to- 
ward Keomy,  and  another  on  Dapont  scattered  the 
rioters  considerably,  dividing  them  up  in  four  sepa- 
rate bodies,  and  rendering  them  much  less  to  be 
dreaded.  All  the  comers  of  Ihipont.  from  Bush  to 
Washinston,  were  kept  clear,  and  if  three  or  more 
pedestrians  came  along  they  were  ordered  off  the 
street.  Tho  excitement  daring  the  charges  of  the 
Police  was  intense,  but  fortunately  pothing  serious 
occurred.  At  11  o'clock  half  the  force  was  marched 
back  to  the  City  Hall,  and  Dupont-street  resumed  its 
ustial  qnletude— more  than  the  usual  quietude,^  in 
fact,  for  not  a  single  person  ventured  on  the  street 
dnrine  the  night, 

In  the  afternoon.  Brig.-Gen.  John  McComb.  com- 
manding the  Second  Brigade,  N.  G.  C.,  received  a 
letter  from  H.  H.  Ellis,  Chief  of  Police,  notifying  him 
that  there  were  serious  apprehensions  of  a  not  in  the 
evening,  and  It  was  necessary  that  prompt  action 
shouM  he  taken  to  suppress  it.  He  therefore  asked 
that  the  troops  be  held  in  readiness  to  meet  any  re- 
quisition which  might  bo  made  for  troops  to  suppress 
the  riot  accordInK  to  law.  In  accordnnee  with  this 
request  Gen.  McComh  issued  orders  to  the  Colonels 
commanding  the  three  infantry  regiments  and  to  tho 
commanding  ofificers  of  the  cavalry  battalion  and  ar- 
tillery company  to  hold  themselves  in  readiness  at 
their  respective  armories  to  march  on  a  moment's  no- 
tice. The  orders  were  carried  out  to  the  letter,  and 
all  the  companies,  with  full  ranks,  were  on  duty  until 
a  late  hour  in  tho  night. 

aOT.  SA.RTRA.NFr8  POSITION. 

The  Pittsburg  (Penn.)  Commercial  of  MornJay 
thus  reports  Gov.  Hartranft  of  that  Stato : 

"Ton  can  say  to  the  people,  if  you  desire  to,  that 
my  position  is  just  about  this :  I  am  here  to  see  that 
tho  peace  is  preserved  I  am  here  to  see  that  the 
railroad  compaiifes — ^who  have  applied  to  me  as  citi- 
zens for  help— get  back  their  property,  and  I  propose 
to  see,  so  far  as  my  authority  goes,  that  no  man,  if 
he  wishes  to  work,  is  prevented  from  doing  so 
through  fear  of  a  mob,  or  any  intimidation.  Further 
than  that  I  cannot  eo.  As  I  have  said,  any  contract 
the  railroads  and  their  employes  may  make  is  their 
private  business,  and  I've  no  more  .right  to  interfere 
than  vou  have."  ' 

"  ^"^ell,  Governor,  In  case  of  intimidation,  how 
would  yoU  act  ? ' 

"  Just  about  this  way :  If  an  engineer  comes  to 
me  and  says  he  i»  willing  and  anxious  to  work,  but 
fears  personal  injurj-  while  running  his  train,  and  he 
desires    a    guard,  I    will   send   a  guard  with  him — a 

Fiard  strong  enough  to  protect  him— and  that  ^ard 
11  back  with  all  the  power  of  .the  State.    That  a  not 

sending  .soldiers  to  mn  a  xreXn  at  all.  It's  only  a  re- 
sponse to  a  citizen's  call  for  protection — a  protection 
which  tho  laws  guarantee  to  ever>"  man.  black  or 
white,  rich  or  p<  or.  1  sent  a  puard  out  fhis  morning 
with  the  engineer  who  took  out  the  first  freight  train. 
He  asked  for  a  guard  and  his  request  was  granted. 
They  went  as  far  as  Deny,  and  there  a  new  guard 
was  put  on  and  the  others  came  back  That's 
the  way  I  propose  to  protect  them  all  the  way 
through,  if  they  desire  It  -,  but  I  hope  and  think  it 
wUl  not  be  .at  all  necessary,"  as  I  have  too  much  confi- 
dence in  the  good  sense  and  peaceable  disposition  of 
the  working  men  of  our  State  to  believe  that  they 
really  desire  to  violate  any  of  its  laws.  My  duty,  as 
I  conceive  it  now,  la  simply  to  see  that  the  jmbllc 
peace  is  preserved,  and  that  each  man  in  the  com- 
munity has  all  the  rights  accorded  him  which  are  hi* 
under  the  law  and  the  Constitution.  That's  platn 
enough.  I  have  nothing  to  do  with  this  or  any  other 
railroad  company  or  corporation  and  its  employes. 
They  make  their  o\vn  contract?,  and  enforce  them  as 
they  see  fit,  provided  the  public  peace  is  preserved. 
I  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  private  disputes  be-

I  can  n<i  in-ngHr  resist  the  inclination  I  have  had  for 
several  days  to  thank  you  all  t>prsonany  for  the  fidel- 
ity will:  which  you  have  remained  at  your  po&ts  of 
duty  during  the  troubles  of  the  past  wee'ix.  and  for 
the' courage  with  which  you  have  confronted  vio-

fiisting  the  insidioua  influences  of  thoee  who  have 
been  ursine  yoii  to  arrav  yourselves  against  tbo

keenly  t'rom  the  fact  that  I  am  well  aware  that  the 
railroad  men  have  a  just  cau:*e  of  grievance 
ou  account  of  the  delay  in  the  pnjineiit  of 
their  wages  for  the  mouths' of  May  and  .Tune,  wliieh 
delay  I  regretted  very  much,  and  immediately  upon

May  have  n<fw  been  paid.  The  paj-ment  of  June 
wages  will  be  commenced  on  or  before  Aug.  1,  and 
on  or  before  the  25th  of  August  the  payment  of  July 
wages  will  be  commenced-  Both  pays  will  be  com- 
pleted as  rapidly  as  the  pajTuaster's  force  can  dis-

THE  LOSS  AT  PITTSBVRG. 
The  Pittsbnrg  (Penn.)  Commercial  tninks  that 
that  city  ought  not  to  be  made  to  bear  the  expense  of 
the  damage  done  by  the  rioters  there.  It  talks 
thus  on  the  subject  :  '"  Of  .course,  und^r  the  specific 
law  we  have.  Allegheny  County  is  legally  responsible 
for  the  damage  done  ;  Vnit  we  wish  to  urge  upon  .our 
fellow -citizens  In  the  State  that  she  is  not  morally 
respon-sihle,  and  ou:jht  not  to  be  made  to  bear  alone 
the  loss  i:iiiicted.  The  strike  was  but  pan  of  a  gen- 
eral movement,  reaching  over  eight  States.  It  was 
not  a  local  riot,  it  is  true,  we  were  caught  unawares, 
but  it  is  nevertheless  true  that  the  State  authorities' 
managed  tho  affair.  Ouij  SherifF  acted  in  concert 
T\nth  them,  and  not  on  his  own  judgment  alone.  lie 
did  not  precipitate  the  conflict  that  led  to  iUe-  after 
incendiarism.  It  wa.s  the  result  of  the  firing  by  the 
Philadelphia  troops,  this  being  caii.ied  by  the 
attack  upon  them.  The  arson  and  outrajje 
here,  caused,  beyond  donht,  the  reaU?atinn  of 
the  real  character  of  the  strike,  and  that  revulsion 
of  feeling  that  saved  other  cities  from  fire.  l*ltts- 
burg  was  the  fierj"  scapegoat  for  the  country.  Our 
sufferings  saved  others,  in  that  it  aroused  them  to 
preparation.  And  much  as  has  been  said  of  our 
B\Tnpathy  for  the  strikers  at  the  first,  it  was  no  more 
than  prevailed  over  the  entire  countr>',  if  we  may 
trust  the  eipressions  of  the  press.  In  view,  there- 
fore, of  these  farts,  we  bold,  and  shall  urge,  that  the 
Legislature  enact  a  law  taking  this  loss  to  the  State, 
and  relieving  Allegheny  County  from  the  necessity 
of  bearing  the  entire '  burden.'  The  rounty  is  not 
morally  responsible,  as  thouch  it  were  a  local  riot. 
The  can-ws  were  widespread,  but  tho  worst  phase 
concentrated  here.  We  must  suffer  most  in  any 
event.  But  to  pat  the  entire  cost  on  us  would  not 
only  be  inequitable,  but  would  bankrupt  the  county." 


A  PLEA  FOR  PITTSBURG. 

To  tfu  Editor  0/  The  XetmYork  Time$ : 

As  Pittsburg  is  the  target  for  the  newspapers, 
it  would  be  well  to  call  attention  to  some  facts,  the 
consideration  of  which  will  tend  to  mitigate  the  de- 
nunciations. 

The  business  of  the  city  is  not  commercial,  but 
almost  wholly  manufacturing,  and  hence  the  greater 
portion  of  the  population  are  laborers  and  thoso 
wh«  in  their  business  are  ^dependent  upon  them, 
such  a«!  retail  grocers,  provision  dealers,  liquor 
sellers,  &c.  Every  class  of  workmen  havo  their 
tmions,  and  are,  in  a  measure,  always  organized  for 
strikes,  and  on  this  occasion  promptly  united  their 
forces  with  the  raUroad  strikers-  Thus  tho  mob 
were  prepared  for  just  such  an  emergency,  whether 
contemplated  or  not.  When  it  Is  considered  that  the 
miners  are  a  powerful  force  of  themselves, 
and  a  very  dangerous  class,  and  within 
easy  access  of  the  city,  it  is  not  surprisijyr  that  an 
immense  crowd  of  ail  sons  of  people  were  gathered 
witliin  two  or  threo  days  of  the  first  outbreak,  ^^1th 
such  a  crowd  any  ordinarv  city  or  county  authorities 
were  powerless.  Ko  one  here  or  elsewhere  ever  con- 
templated such  a  state  of  affairs,  and  anybody  that 
would  have  predicted  such  a  mob  would  have  been 
regM^ed  as  crazy.  Our  population  being  so  largelyl 
made  up  of  workmen,  our  city  officers  and  military 
would  bo  raorei  or  less  in  sympathy.  In  fact,  some  of 
the  officers  and  many  of  the  men  in  some  of  the  mili- 
tar)'  companies  called  out  to  quell  the  mob  declared 
openly  that  they  would  not  fire  upon  their  friends. 
Some  of  tho  men  were  railroad  strikers.  The  Mayor 
of  the  city  was  certainly  in  sympathy  with  the 
strikers  and  refused  to  even  add  to  the  Police  force, 
which  had  been  reduoed  nearly  one  half  but  a  few 
weeks  since.  Tho  object  of  this  communication  is  onlv 
to  call  attention  to  the  peculiarity  of  Pittsburg  in  regard 
to  the  character  of  its  population,  and  not  to  exten- 
uate or  excuse  the  blunders  and  inefficiency  of  those 
in  authority.  A  MANTPACTURER.

Nashville,  Tenn.,  July  22.— Six  en- 
gineers arrived  here  from  Evansville  to-night 
to  take  out  freight  trains  to-morrow.  •  The 
strikers  had  a  talk  with  three  and  sent  them 
back.  United  States  Marshal  Wheat,  hearing 
of  this,  prohibited  any  strikers  from  seeing  the 
other  engineers,  and,  unless  the  strikers  see  and 
talk  tha  engineers  out  of  it,  trains  will  be 
manned  to-morrow.  The  strikers  .say  they  will 
in  nowise  molest  'trains,  but  will  keep  the  en- 
gineerS'from  going  out  if  they  can  get  a  chance 
to  taUc  t&em  out  of  it.  They  also  say  they  will

JOSEPH  -WITH  5,<i00  MZJJ- — THE  BOtJTE — * 
WARX  SPBIKQ -IKDIAK  SCOUTS. 

Sa2J  FrakciscOj  CaL,  July  31.— A  Port- 
land dispatch  says  Gen.  Howard  is  at  pTesent  at 

Kandah,  awaiting  the  arrival  of  Major  Sanford. 
As  soon  aa  that  officer  joiss  him  he  will  take  all 
the  available  forco  and  push  vigorously  after 

Joseph  aftd  White  Bird,  who  hare  already 
crossed  Bitter  Root  Moimtalns  hy  way  of  the 
Lolo  trail.  He  will  go  throtigh  to  Mlssotila  as 
rapidly  as  hia  command  can  move,  and  he  will 
have  in  the  neighborhood  of  5,000  men.  An- 
other force,  tmder  tfhe  command .  of  .  Gen. 
Wheaton,  will  leave  Fort  Lapwai,  and,  mov- 
ing north,  pass  through  the  Spokane 
country,  and  cross  over  into  Montana  through 
the  Sahou  Pass.  After  crossing  the  moun- 
tains the  troops  will  push  down  ■*  to 
Missoula,  where  they  will  join  Gen.  Howard.  It 
is  expected  that  Howard  and  Wheaton*s  detach- 
ments will  reach  that  point  simultaneously. 
Wheaton  will  command  about  450  or  500  troops. 
This  detour  through  the  Spokane  country  will 
be  made  at  the  request  of  Indian  Inspector  Wat- 
kins.  There  are  a  number  of  tribes  squatted 
through  that  region  who  wish  to  be  placed  on  & 
reservation.  Inspector  Watkins  is  authorized 
to  select  a  suitable  reservation,  and  to  locate 
the  Indians.  His  principal  object  in  passing 
through  that  country  is  to  make  a  personal  in- 
spection of  the  character  and  disposition  of  the 
Indians,  the  nature  of  these  regions,  and  to  des- 
ignate where  a  reservation  is  to  be  located.  It 
is  also  thought  that  the  marching  of  a  large 
force  of  troop.s  through  there  will  have  a  very 
beneficial  effect  on  the  Indians.  Most  of 
them  are  peocaably  disposed  toward  the  whkea, 
whUo  some  are  inclined  to  be  turbulent  The 
detachment  will  not  leave  Lapwai  for  a  week  or 
more.  ALny  straggling  bands  of  hostiles  that 
may  have  broken  away  from  Joseph  and  White 
Bird,  and  who  may  attempt  to  reach  the  Spokane 
country,  will  be  in t^«rcepted  by  Gen.  Wheaton 
and  cut  ofiP.  This  movement  wilV  it  is  believed, 
crush  out  the  strength  of  the  hostiles  and  bring 
peace  to  the  whole  region  of  country  west  of 
the  Bitter  Root  mountains,  and  with  the  capture 
or  annihilation  of  Joseph's  and  Whit©  Bird's 
bands  of  renegades,  bring  the  war  to  a  close. 
Col.  Green,  with  a  force  of  cavalry,  will  remain 
In  and  about  Kamiah  to  protect  the  settlements 
and  t<>  cut  off  .straggling  squads  of  Indians.- 
*  Capt.  Wilkinson  received  yesterday  a  dispatch 
in  regard  to  procuring  Warm  Spring  Indian 
scouta  to  accompany  Gen.  Howard  through  the 
Lolo  trail  to  31untana.  Most  of  these  Indians 
have  gone  after  game  and  fish,  but  those  who 
remain  have  called  a  council  for  Monday  the 
30th,  and  will  send  word  as  to  the  result  on 
Wednesday.  If  any  scouts  are  to  be  obtained 
they  will  come  to  the  Dalles  as  soon  as  possible, 
and  be  taken  to  the  front.  Gen.  Howard  having 
dispensed  with  the  services  of  a  part  of  his  scout- 
ing force,  is  very  desirous  of  sectiriug  a  number 
of  Warm  Spring  scouts.  These  scouts,  it  will  bo 
remembered,  performed  gallant  and  effective 
services  during  the  Modoc  war. 

CHASE  AND  HATES, 


AK"  rXTEKESTING   PERSON'Ali  REMpHSCENCE— 

J  THEIR  JOURXET  TOGETHER  Es  THE  EARLY 
DAYS  OF  THE  AXTI-SLAVEaT  AGITATIOX.*' 
From  the  CUveland  (Ohio)  Leader,  July  30. 

**  I  was  riding.*'  said  a  prominent  gentleman 
of  tliis  city  to  a  Leader  reporter,  "one  September 
oay  during  the  early  part  of  tho  '30e  over  the  hills 
and  through  the  deep  cullies  of  the  southern  part  of 
the  State  in  company  with  Salmon  P.  Chase.  He- 
had  already  been  United  States  Senator  for  a  single 
term,  and  wa.s  then  engaged.  I  think,  In  his  first  can- 
vass for  the  Governorship.  The  distance  which  we 
had'io  make  was  a  comparatively  short  one.  but  our 
mode'  of  travel  %vas  tliat  of  the  old-fashioned  stare- 
coach,  and  we  were  necessarily  a  long  time  on  uie 
road.  Mr.  Chase  WIS  always  a  fine  conversational- 
ist, but  upon  this  occasion  it  has  always  seemed  to 
me  that  be  surpassed  himself.  We  Had  proceeded 
but  a  short  distance  when  he  introduced  a  sedate. 
though  I  thought  a  rather  retiring  young  man,  with 
these  words: 

■*  'Mr.  .S.,  allow  me  to  present  my  young  friend, 
Mr.  Hayes,  of  Cincinnati.  He  Is  traveling  with  me 
this  week,  and  we  are  together  expounding  the  po- 
Uti'-al  principles  of  our  party.' 

"Pretty  soon."  continued  the  gentleman,  "the 
conversation  turned  upon  Mr.  Chase's  favorite  topic 
at  that  time,  viz  :  the  suppression  of  slavery.  He 
had  then  loner  been  known  as  the  champion  of  equal 
riphts.  and  had  gained  much  fame  throngliout  the 
country  as  tlie  counseL  in  company  with  Hon.  W. 
H.  Seward,  of  th©  ner'^ccuted  Van  Zandt^  who  had. 
from  principle,  sold,  his  slaves  in  Kentucky  and 
moved  upon  the  free  soil  of  Ohio,  near  Cincinnati. 
Here  he  was  arrested  under  the  Fugitive  Slave  law, 
on  the  charge  of  harboring  runaway  negroes,  and 
the  case  wks  carried  to  the  Supremo  Court 
and  becrvme  onp  of  the  celebrated  cases  of  the  coun- 
try. Vaa  Zandt  received  his  reward  for  this  perse- 
ciiiion  at  the  hands  of  Mrs.  Stowe.  by  being  subse- 
qnently  made  l!ie  original  of  Van  Tromp  in  Vncle 
Tf-m'f:' Cabin.  Mr.  Cha?e  was  fuU  of  frhathe  be- 
lieved to  be  his  mission,  viz.:  to  fight  slaverv. 
'  There  is  an  end  coming  to  all  this  injustice.' said 
he.  '  The  Fugitive  Slave  law  Ls  felt  by  all  classes  to 
he  an  outrage,  nnd  the  violation  of  It  is  thought  to 
be  praiseworthy  hy  the  best  people  of  the  North.  A 
law  of  this  kind  c.in  never  stand.  What  the  end 
will  be  is  hard  to  tell.  How  it  will  come  cannot  be 
foretold :  bur.  that  there  is  an  inevitable  conflict 
between  liberty  and  freedom — the  North  and  the 
South— is  evident  to  anvone  who  studies  carefully 
the  signs  of  the  times.  It  may  be  accomplished  by 
the  Uallot.  but  more  likely  tho  bayonet  will  be 
necessary.' 

"  And  so  the  conversation  ran  on.  '  Meanwhile, 
young  Mr.  Hayes,  a  careful  listener  to  every  word, 
seemed  like  the  young  Paul  sitting  at  the  feet  of  the 
Great  Gamaliel.  He  said  but  little,  but  seemed 
greatly  Interested  and  profited. 

•■Co'uid  these  two  men  have  seen  the  future  of  their 
lives  that  Autumn  day.  In  the  rude  Southern  Ohio 
stagecoach,  huw  nwe-struck  they  must  have  been  at 
the  contemplation.  The  older4o  be  twice  Governor 
of  the  great  Stato  of  Ohio,  a  nromlueiit  candidate  be-, 
fore  the  convention  which  nominitted  Pre.^dent  Lin- 
euln  for  the  first  time,  Secretary  of  tho  Treasury  in 
the  critical  period  of  the  great  struggle  for  freedom, 
which  he  outlined  in  his  conversation,  author  of  tho 
wavs  and  means  for  making  that  struggle  succt'ssf ul. 
Chief-Justice  of  the  United  States,  and  at  length  to 
die  in  a  struggle  for  the  Presidency.  The  younger 
to  take  a  leading  part  in  the  great  struggle,  to  oe 
also  t^vice  Governor  of  Ohio,  and  at  length.  as,Presl- 
dent  of  the  United  States,  propound  a  policy  which 
shall  prove  the  healing  balm  of  tho  wounds  created 
by  that  struggle.''  _  J 

THE  TELEPBOXE  AXD  ITS  VSES. 
"The  latest  form  of  Prof.  Bell's  telephone," 
says  the  Boston  Transcript^  "has  the  whole  ma- 
chine, both  for  speaking  into  and  hearing  out  of,  re- 
duced to  tho  size  and  shape  of  an  ordinary  door- 
knob. A  shiny  black  piece  of  thiu  iron  the  size  of  a 
Srcent  piece  let  into  the  surface  of  the  mahogany 
knob  Is  what  does  the  talking.  Concealed  in  the 
wooden  stem  of  the  knob  is  the  magnet  from  which 
proceed  the  silk -covered  wires  which  carry  the  viva 
t">«  message.  There  are  two  knobs,  so  thattwt>  may 
l!.=ten  to  a  reply,  or  a  single  listener  increase  the 
amount  of  voice  heard  by  holding  one  of  tho  knobs  to 
each  ear.  A  common  electric  bell  operated  by  the 
same  wire,  to  call,  completes  the  equipment.  It 
is  still  wonderful,  notwithstanding  the  increa^g 
commotmess  of  the  telephone,  to  near  a  superin- 
tendent or  head  of  a  house  in  the, city  makmg  in- 
quiries and  gi\*lng  orders  to  his  foreman  out  at  the 
mill  or  factory  "20  miles  away,  and  receiving 
equally  detailed  answers  and  inquiriw  for  in- 
stractions  in  return,  such  as  could  hardly  havo 
been  transmitted  by  the  'piano-playing'  tele- 
graphs, so  costly  in  tinie  would  conferences  of 
that  length  have  been.  So  large  has  the  de- 
mand become  that  the  price  for  the  use  of  the  tele- 
phone, which  the  patentee  does  not  sell,  has  just 
gone  up  from  $10  to  -$30  a  year.  It  seems  to  us,  how- 
ever,  that  the  perfecting  of  this  most  beautiful  and  im- 
portant invention  lias  yet  further  to  go.  A  great  ad- 
vantage, besides  speed  and  facility,  over  the  old  tele- 
graph in  dispensing  with  the  transmitter  and  the 
writing  of  the  dispatch,  is  In  the  possibility  of  having 
messases  as  private  and  confidential  as  personal 
word-of-mouth  communications.  Telephony  leav«\8 
no  written  messages  on  file,  and  takes  no  third  per- 
son, in  the  shape  of  telegrapher,  into  the  secrets  of 
the  communication.  Suite  of  all  tho  oaths  that  tele- 
graphers take,  it  is  well  understood  that  no  com- 
munication of  great  imiKirtance  on  bu.'^lness  or  poli- 
tics is  snfe  unless  it  lie  in  cipher.  The  telephone  is 
tlierefore  essentially  and  theoretically  a  means  of 
whispering  into  partner's  or  henchman's  ear  what  is 
fur  that  ear  alone.  In  practice,  however,  it  is 
as  yet  fotmd  neceesaiy  to  speak  tn  a  loud  tone 
and  with  slow  enunclatiqn.  which  would  preclude  all 
confidences  that  a  man's  clerks  may  not  snare,  unless 
deafened  walls  and  doors  seclude  him  from  the  busi- 
ness in  which  tho  telephone  is  employed.  This  de- 
f-  ct  is  no  doubt  something  that  will  disappear  in  the 
develqpement  of  the  invention,  so  rapid  and  success- 
ful hlSerto.  Meanwhile  the  gains  over  the  former 
means  of  comratmication  are  truly  immense— im- 
measurable, in  fact,  to  present  experienoe  with  the 
groat  revolutionizing  Invention."

THE  STATE  FLAG  OF  LOmsIANA, 
A  paragraph  which  originally  appeared  In  the 
Springfield  (Mass.)  Vnion  respecting  the  State  Flag 
of  I^nlstana,  known  as  the  "Pelican"  fla^.  taken 
from  the  State.house  at  Baton  Bonge,  and  afterward 
deposited  in  the  Berkshire  Athenaeum,  at  Pittsfiald, 
attracted  the  attention  of  Senator  Spofford.  c4 
Louisiana,  who  has  written  to  the  Athemeum  Trua- 
teee  about  it.  President  AU«m  replied  to  the  oonv 
snunication  that ' '  we  are  of  the  oninton  that  aa  the  flag 
was  the  flag  of  the  State,  a  civil  flag,  flying  from  a 
building  of  the  ch-il  tiovomment  of  the  State  of 
liOnlsiana  when  it  was  taken,  it  ought  to  be  returned 
to  the  proper  authorities.of  the  State.  I  shall  take 
pleasure  in  being  the  instrument  of  the  Trustees  la 
restoring  so  much  of  the  State  of  T.rfwiiKi«.w|k  to  its 
normal  and  proper  condition. " 


XSE  2rCRl>ERER  OF  TSE  ^  JOYCE  CSU, 
DREN. 
The  mnrderer  of  the  Joyce  children  in  Stuwy 
woods,  at  West  Boxhury,  Mass.,  In  Jnne,  1865,  Is, 
aocoxding  to  the  Boston  CommoruoeaUh,  buxled  on 
GaUoape's  Island  in  Boston  Harbor.  He  was  22  at 
th^  time  of  tho  murder,  bat  soon  after  took  to  drink 
and  drifted  to   Chica^,  and  in  one  of  hia  Tnaufn^i 

periods  confessed  the  morder  to  &  companion,  hat  de- 
nied it  when  sober.  Two  Boeton  detectivea.  who 
were  notilled,  went  to  Chieaeo,  gained  his  confldenoe, 
and  for  six  ■weeks  applied  ev»ry  art  to  maJce  hiai  oon. 
Tict  himself,  but  thoufh  he  repeatedly  confessed  and 
described  the  deed  when  drunk,  he  always  denied  it 
when  sober,  and  not  one  particle  of  corroborativa 
evidence  could  be  fotmd,  and  it  was  thought  useless 
to  arrest  him.  Finally  he  drifted  back  to  Boston 
died  of  small  pox  during  the  epidemic  of  1873,*^ 
was  buried  in  the  Galloupes  Island  cemetery.  Thi^ 
is  ae  satisfactory  as  the  other  theories  of  the  mazda; 
and  not  more  so. 


t  -    OAKADIAK  WORRIMENT, 

The  Montreal  Fiftiessof  Monday  says:  "Thi 
Fishery  Commission  held  a  short  session  on  SBlovdaj 
and  took  some  evidence,  thenadjouminguntll to-day. 
Capt.  ^  Fortiu,  the  ex*Speaker  of  the  Quebec  Ij^isl** 
tuT^  and  others,  Mr.  Gait,  not  Sir  Alexander,  the 
Canadian  Conunlssloner,  we  presume,  for  om,  havt 
gone  for  a  cruise  on  the  Golf  on  the  Oovenunent 
steamer  Druid  to  procure  necessary  evidenee.  The 
evidence,  we  suppose,  must  not  be  in  support  of  th* 
Canadian  main  case.  That  otight  to  have  oeen  ready 
Jong  a^.  and  probably  has  been  carefully  prepared. 
It  IS  likely  to  disprove  assertions  in  the  American 
replv  by  testimonv  in  rebuttal  of  what  Is  there  stated, 
we  hope  that  in  the  conduct  of  the  case  there  will  be 
no  disposition  on  the  part  of^-  the  British  Commla- 

f'aner  to  accept  any  fclicht  compensation.  Rather 
ave  notlidn«^,  and  a  claim  Kj^alnat  the  Cnited  States. 
than  yield  t^  any  bnllTlB(j  poiley  which  may  have 
frightened  the  British  liiah  Commissioners  of  tha 
Washington  Treaty  into  foregoing  an  siward  by  the 
maijority,  and  made  it  dependent  upon  the  t  nited 
Stat-es  Commission.  Canada  can  afford  to  do  with* 
out  a  litfle  money,  andtt  l«t  time  that  the  accfptanee 
of  humiliating  trr^aties  and  arrangements  with  tka

■f  ALABAMA  DETELOPMEirT. 

The  Montgomery  (Ala.)  Advertiser  of  Jnly  28 
says:  -*  The  obserrant  traveler  on  the  trains  of  the 
North  and  South  Road  cannot  fail  to  be  at&aeted  by 
the  thrifty,  prosperous  appearance  of  this  portion  at 
Alabama,  which  catches  his  eye  andxivetzhls  atteiL. 
tion  as  he  passes  swiftly  along  through  the  Cotmtlal

Cullman,  over  Sand  Moontaln,  and  on  to  the  beantl-  '■ 
ful! agricultural  fields  of  the  Tennessee  Valley.  We 
venture  the  assertion  that  nowhere  In  otir  State  is  to 
he  found  so  many  material  and  varied  evidences  of 
what  Alabama  is  to  be  than  in  the  localities  men- 
tioned. The  agricultural  prospects  all  along  the  line, 
in  forn.  cotton,  grain,  and  fruit,  are  all  that  could  be 
exT^ected,  and  give  t)ronil.«e  of  a  bountiful  yield.  The 
seasons  are  propitious,  and  the  little  valleys  and 
hill-sides  are  teeming  with  the  results  of  the  labor  of 
the  manly  white  '  tillers  of  the  soil'  While  the 
farmer  is  looking  after  his  farm  and  giving  all  new 
settlers  a  hearty,  honest  welcome,  capital  and  enter- 

grise  and  labor  are  working  hand  in  hand  in  develop- 
ig  and  utilizing  ottr  nntold  mineral  wealth-  Kew 
mines  are  being  opened,  capitalists  are  'prospect- 
ing,' the  old  mines  are  being  surceesfally  wodte>^

THE  FVTCRE  STOCK  FIELDS. 
The  Slack  Hills  F*ioneer  says :  "  The  sn'bjtiga* 
tlon  of  the  Sionx  Indians  opens  np  to  occupancy  the 
finest  stock  ranges  of  the  continent,  and  the  enter* 
prising  stock  raisers  of  the  country  have  already 
mcived  toward  utilizing  them.  Montana,  the  now 
setftledportlon  of  it,  is  admitted  to  be  the  best  stock 
range  at  present  occupied,  and  the  ranchmen  there 
all'Sgree  that  the  unsettled  portions  of  the  eastern 
part  of  the  territory,  that  is.  the  main  Tellowston© 
Vajley.  the  Rosebud,  Big  Horn,  and  Clark's  Fork 
Vallevs,  are  altogether  superior,  as  graring  ranges,  to 
the  Madison  and  Gallatin  Valleys,  in  which  thousands 
of  head  of  cattie  are  being  subsisted.  Many  Montana 
ranchmen  have  moved  over ,  and  located  ranches  on* 
the  Yellowstone,  and  some  on  the  Rosebud  and 
Clsrk's  Fork.  These  advancing  settlement!  to  tha 
eastward  are  rapidly  moving-this  way,  and  will  short- 
ly reach  the  aavanc©  settlements  to  the  westward 
from  the  Black  Hills.  M'e  believe  that  by  this  time 
next  y**ar  it  will  be  possible  to  set  out  on  horseback 
from  De^dwood  City  and  travel  to  the  Yellowstone 
River,  stopping  at  a  ranch  every  night.  The  greater 
portion  of  the  intervening  coontry  is  pastoral  in 
character,  with  here  and  there  some  Sigricalniral  dis- 
tricts. It  will  in  a  very  few  years  be  thickly'settled, 
aud  be  covered  with  all  the  embemshments  of  cLvili* 
zatHon."    . 

I  A  KETADA  SASD-STOEM 

the  "Virginia  (Nev.)  .EVtt^prfM  of  SvOtf  3^ 

has  the  following  aeeonnt  of  an  unpleasant  kind  of 
tempest :  "  For  a  time  yesterday  afternoon  quite  a  ' 
heavy  sand-storm  was  in  proga-esa  on  the  large  desert 
some  40  coiles  to  the  eastward  of  this  city.  Great 
clouds' of  sand  were  seen  to  rise'  and  sweep  alongover 
the  plun,  gradually  ascending  nntH  the  highest  peaks 
of  the  Humboldt  Mountains  were  hidden.  In  appear- 
ance  the  drifting  sand  much  resembled  the  clouds  of 
snow  raised  by  the  Winder  storms  "on  the  pcatiiea  of 
the  West.  The  sand  also  forms  drifts,  or  dunes,  as 
drifts  are'f  oVmed  from  snow.  Every  dump  of  grease- 
wood  has  its  surrounding  hillock  of  sand,  sod  in 
places  long  ridges  ef  sand  are  seen,  aa  in  many  loeall-

JVom  on  Omuional  Corrt^pondent, 

Keese  Valley,  Essex  County,  N.  T. 
Although  it  iA  faahio&Able  in  certain  quarters 
to  speak  of  the  Adirondmck  Mountains  and  wQdar- 
neuas  "  the  great  State  Park  o£  New-York,"  it  la  not 
to  be  sappoaed  that  a  walk  through,  this  region  Is  a 
promesade  of  onaUoyed  ease  and  comfort.  Yet,  very 
few  who  have  undt^rtaken'  an  excursion  on  foot 
through  this  neighborhood  ever  regret  it,  in  spit©  of 
real  or  iiuajfinary  hardships.  One  of  tlie  most  inter- 
esting of  tho  so-called  "  round  trips"  mnong  the 
mountains  horo  is  that  known  as  that  Keene  Valley 
fonte.  This  valley,  whose  fame  as  a  resort  increases 
erery  year,  Is  already  interspersed  with  hotels  and 
boarding-houses,  among  which  Mrs.  Stetson's,  at  the 
•OQthem  portal  of  the  valley,  is  prominent.  Tho 
plazxa  of  this  house  commands  an  uninterrupted  view 
of  from  20  to  30  miles  of  the  flnest  vaDey  and  moun- 
tain scenery  in  the  country.  Taking  this  house  as  a 
■tarting  point,  and  following  the  road  over  the  hill 
past  the  Beede  House,  we  are  sooninthe  depths  of  tiie 
forest.  Though  the  trail  is  broad  and  perfectly 
clear,  it  is  In  some  places  soft  and  miry,  in 
others  rough  and  rugged.  Yet  the  way  Is  full  of  at- 
tractions. OfE  to  the  right  is  heard  the  mosio  of  the 
rushing  Au  Sable,  as  it  dashes  onward  in  its  course  to 
Join  its  northern  branch  30  miles  away  ;  but  even 
this  s^und  is  soon  hushed  as  we  penetrate  deeper  into 
the  woods,  and  nothing  save  the  singing  of  an  occa- 
■loual  brook  disturbs  tho  cathedral-like  stillness  of 
these  "first  temples"  of  God.  The  "winding 
aisles "  lead  underneath  the  arches  formed  by  the 
orerhanging  trees,  thronch  leafy  vistas  of  ever- 
changing  forms,  until,  at  the  end  of  four  miles,  the 
pedestrian  is  suddenly  confronted  with  a  scene  of 
rarest  beauty.  The  path  leaves  the  forest  at  the 
summit  of  a  bluff,  at  whose  feet  lies  the  Lower  Ay. 
Sable  Pond,  with  Cohin,  Saddleback,  and  Gothic 
Mountains  rising  sheer  up  from  the  shores.  The  row 
of  dead  trees  which  lines  the  western  border  of  the 
pond  only  serves  to  increase  the  peculiarly  wild  and 
•olitary  appearance  of  the  place,  whose  whole  aspect 
presents  a  scene  of  Norwegian  grandeur.  This  pond 
is  but  a  little  over  a  znlle  in  length  by  less  than  half 
a  mile  in  breadth,  um  its  shores  are  nearly  impassa- 
ble on  foot.  Gtiides  generally  have  boats  in  readi- 
OMS,  however,  to  transport  visitors.  Vt'e  were  quick- 
ly rowed  to  the  upper  end  of  the  lake,  stopping  only 
long  enough  to  visit  a  cave  on  the  eastern  shore, 
where  snow  and  ice  last  the  Summer  through.  Prac- 
tical use  Is  made  of  this  cavern  as  a  store-^oom 
•nd  natural  refrigerator  by  persons  eucampiog  for 
any  length  of  time  on  the  shores  of  the  upper  pond. 
The  upper  Au  Sable  Puuil.  both  ifrom  size  and 
depth,  deserves  to  be  styled  a  lake,  being  about  two 
mUes  long  and  of  varying  width,  and  is  reached  by  a 
carry  of  about  a  mile  and  a  half  in  length.  The  land- 
scape here  is  much  more  extended  than  at  the  lower 
pond.  ITpon  the  shores  several  camps  have  been 
erected,  the  place  being  a  favorite  hunting  and  fish- 
ing resort.  It  is  surrounded  by  lofty  {Kaks  on  all 
aides,  and  Is  so  much  preferred  to  its  sister  sheet  that 
the  lower  and  upper  ponds  are  known  to  the  guides 
by  the  local  names  respectively  of  Purgatory  and 
Paradise.  After  a  refreshing  night's  rest  upon  a 
hixurious  couch  of  spruce  leaves  and  branches  in  one 
of  these  camps,  our  tramp  was  resumed  In  earnest 
upon  the  following  morning.  A  pleasant  row  of  two 
or  three  miles  up  the  pond,  and  its  inlet  leads  to  the 
trail  of  Mount  Marcy.  This  trail  is  said  to  be  not 
more  than  seven  miles  loni;,  and  in  several  places  is 
traversed  by  "  blind  trails"  leading  nowhere  in  par- 
ticular, made  by  the  older  guides  for  the  purpose  of 
misleading  and  perplexing  the  green  guides  from  the 
hotels.  We  had  already  climbed  a  distance  which, 
from  the  time  and  exercise  expended,  seemed  to  have 
far  exceeded  that  length.  For,  In  the  grammatio  Ian- 
goage  of  the  afotirlng  local  poet  of  the  woods, 
"  We'd  dim,  and  we'd  ciim.  und  vre'd  cliia. 
Till  it  seem'-d  w-?  coiUJ  t-limb  no  hlgh-r  ; 
"We  saw  summits  of  mountains  beneath  us. 
But  the  top  of  our  own  seemed  no  higher  '." 
I  turned  to  the  guida  to  ask  him  how  many  yards 
ft  might  be  to  the  top.  He  seemed  to  anticipate  the 
question,  for  before  I  had  asked  it,  he  announced  in 
most  encouraging  accents  :  "Only  two  miles  and  a 
half  to  the  summit,  and  now  yon'U  hnve  some  real 
climbing  I"  AuJ  climbing  we  certainly  had.  of  a 
realism  that  eclipsed  any  ideal  ever  conceived.  Over 
fallen  trees,  through  tangled  thickets,  over  miry 
ledges,  and  up  ascents  with  an  inclination  like  that  of 
the  side  of  a  house,  cUn^ng  to  branches  and  tripping 
over  slippery  roots,  up.  up,  we  go,  till  our  voices 
prow  hollow  in  the  increasing  rarity  of  the  air,  tho 
vegetation  undergoing  a  gradual  change  uuill  we  can 
look  over  the  tops  of  trees ;  a  short  scramble  further. 
and  we  have  the  proud  satisfaction  of  standing  on 
the  highest  point  in  tho  State  of  New- York,  over 
5,400  feet  above  the  sea,  being  the  first  to  make  the 
ascent  this  year. 

The  summit  of  Marcy  is  a  barren  rock,  command- 
ing a  mognillcent  outlook  In  all  directions.  Moun- 
tains at  our  feet  roll  off  to  the  horizon  on  every  side, 
and  a  delightful  feature  of  the  view  consists  in  the 
variety  offered  by  the  many  lakes  and  ponds  which 
glimmer  In  the  sunlight.  ChamplaJn,  Lower  Sara- 
Bao,  Plaoid.  Tearof-the- Cloud,  {one  of  the  sources  of 
the  Hudson,  at  an  elevation  of  4.000  feet,)  Calamity, 
Wolf,  Lower  Au  Sable — ^these  are  a  few  of  thOi»o 
plainly  visible,  while  far  off  to  the  eastward  the 
Groen  Mountains  rest  like  a  cloud  on  the  horizon. 
On  an  exceptionally  clear  day  it  Is  said  that  the  peaks 
of  the  White  Mountains,  150  miles  distant,  are 
plainly  visible.  The  position  strikingly  impresses  us 
like  that  of  an  isl&nd  in  the  nddst  of  a  green  ocean. 
These  mountains,  forming  part  of  what  la  geologi- 
cally the  oldest  portion  of  the  globe,  have,  after  being 
■wept  by  the  winds  and  storms  of  tens  of  thousands 
of  years,  gradually  assumed  their  present  rounded 
outlines,  which  give  them  the  appearance  of  mam- 
moth billows  whose  motion  has  been  suddenly  ar- 
rested. 

Tahawons,  "the  Cloud-piercer,"  as  the  Indians 
called  this  sovereign  peak,  was  a  sufficiently  suitable 
Bame  for  the  savage.  The  white  man  in  his  wisdom 
haM,  however,  elected  to  call  it  after  an  obsolescent 
politician,  and  in  the  same  appreciative  spirit  Towar- 
Ipondab,  or  "  HiU,  of  Storms,"  has  been  re- 
ehristened  Mount  Emmons.  The  example  thus  early 
set  has  been  assiduously  followed  by  Mr.  Colvia, 
Superintendent  of  the  Adirondack  survey,  in  his 
nomenclature  of  tbes»  unrivaled  peaks^  Already 
the  region  bristles  with  its  Mounts  Sewardj;  Seymour, 
Hoffman,  and  Dix.  In  short,  there  seems  no  reason 
why  the  range  sho^Ud  not  be  made  a'sorv  of  nemonio 
system  of  instruction  in  the  political  listory  of  the 
State.  Giant  Valley,  Old  Hurricane,  And  Resogonla 
can  easily  be  sacrificed  to  the  Gubernatorial  Smith, 
Brown  and  Robinson,  while  the  peak  locally  known  to 
the  guides  as  "Old  Bung-eye,"  may  perhaps,  without 
any  very  great  violence,  surrender  its  present  sug- 
gestive title  in  favor  of  that  pure  and  patriotic  Gov- 
9mor  whose  disinterested  aspirations,  past  and  prosi- 
pective,  for  the  ohief  ma^ristracy  have  become  a  by- 
word. Some  aspiring  hornets,  which  had  built  their 
nests  on  the  two  highest  points  of  the  "summit," 
resented  our  intrusion  with  such  activity 
that  we  beat  a  hasty  and  ignominious 
retreat  and  were  again  soon  down  the 
mountain-side,  following  the  course  ef  the  noisy,  but 
beautiful  Opalescent  River,  past  the  -sparkling  Opa- 
leaeent  Falls  and  "  Virgin's  Bath,"  (so  called  from  its 
attar  Impraeticability  as  a  bathing  place  for  any  one, 
whether  virgin  or  matron,)  down  by  a  clearly  defined 
trail,  past  Colden,  along  tho  borders  of  Calamity 
Pond — the  origin  of  whose  name  is  doubtless  familiar 
to  the  reader— through  the  forest  ag^n.  until  at  the

nothing  of  greater  utility  than  the  pretty  waterfalls, 
flumes,  and  chasm  that  render  the  Au  Sable  famous ; 
the  other  fiowitig'  southward,  forcing  the  very  hills

of  the  world.         i 

We  had  now  been  gone  three  days,  and,  thougli 
near  tho  1st  of  July,  liad  seen  ice  everyday.  The 
path  beyond  the  Pass  grows  more  and  more  indis- 
tinct, until  the  blared  trees  give  the  only.indication  of 
our  course.  Kven  the  blazes  had  often  become  so 
obliterated  as  to  pe  of  little  iwe.  We  had  been  so 
late  in  starting  that  morning  that,  though  we  had 
thouchi  to  reach  JCorth  Elba  before  niglit,  darknes-s 
had  already  set  ini  while  we  were  still  fai  the  tliick  of 
the  forest.  It  wai  mining  pitilessly,  but  the  guide 
soon  had  a  '*shan)ty"  erected,  coniposed  of  bark  laid 
upon  polos,  something  after  the  fashion  of  a  wigwam, 
which  was  perfectly  water-tight,  while  a  i-oarlng  fire 
effectually  kept  off  those  pf*ts  of  t!ie  night  known 
as  "  mldees."  By  '1:30  the  ne.vt  morning  we  had  re- 
sumed our  trump.]  and  though  the  rain  haa<  ceased,  the 
trees  still  sliO'Wared  their  wet  contents  upon  ns. 
and  the  wet  leaves  of  the  underbrush  stroked  our 
necks  and  faces;  with  a  lingering,  clammy  caressi 
The  path  grew  wider  until  it  broadened  Into  a  road, 
and  we  had  left  the  forest  and  were  in  sight  of:  tho 
cleared  fields  and  farms  of  Xorth  Elba.  Here,  iri,  the 
shadow  of  the  everlasting  hills,  lies  the  body  of  the 
hero  of  the  one  great  romance  iu  .Ajnericau 
history,  who  dired  to  act  while  others  talked 
and  die  while  (>thers  planned.  Hither,  through 
the  mourning  loyal  cities  of  the  North,  after 
the  bloody  I  scenes  at  Harper's  Ferry,  [was  borne 
the  body  of  ol4  John  Brown,  in  obedience  to  his 
wish  to  be  buried^  "by  the  bie  rock."  where  he  loved 
"  to  sit  and  read  the  Word  of  God."  The  farm  he 
used  t<»  cultivate,;one  of  the  termini  of  the  "under- 
ground railroad,"  is  now  owned  by  en  associsr 
tiou  headed  bv  Kate  Field,  and  including  Elliott 
C.  Cowdin.  Isaac  H.  Bailey,  S-  B.  Chittenden. ,  and 
Other  prominent:  -Republicans.  No  flitter  epitaph 
could  be  devised  than  the  heavenward  pointing  peaKii 
that  look  down  in  majestic  silence  on  the  place.  The 
tombstone  had  become  so  chipped  by  relic-hunters 
that  it  was  lone  tuzo  found  necessary  to  cover  it  »vitU 
a  box  which  is  removed  for  visitors.  The  place  is 
rapidly  growiug  in  iK>puIa[ity  as  a  point  of  interest, 
and  though  it  is  easy  to  sneer  at  the  "Mecca  of  fan- 
aticism,'"'as  S.  R.,'  Stoddard  is  pleased  to  term  it,  it  Is 
not  easy  to  estimate  the  influence  upon  history  of 
the'man  who  felljiu  the  forc-froiit  of  the  great  con- 
vulsion which  heihad  contributed  so  much  to  bring 
about.  The  f&rm  is  worked  by  Mr.  LawTence,  who,

A  pleasant  walk  of  from  three  to  four  miles  leads 
to  Lake  Placid,  one  of  the  most  attractive  spots  in 
the  whole  Adiroqdack  region :  it  possesses  such  va- 
ried charms  of  lake,  mouutaiu.  and  forest  scenery, 
that  it  is  called  by  m^tny  "the  gem  of  tho  Adiroii- 
dacks."  There  are  two  excellent  hotels,  both  com- 
manding vien's  of  Placid  and  Mirror  J^kes.  Placid 
is  live  miles  long,  and  from  it.s  uortlieni  end  "  uld

the  summit  of  thp  mountain  Ls  pref  pnvd  by  numy  to 
that  of  Mount  Man'v,  as  being  more  varied  and  pic-

"  A  week  or  more  since  I  noticed  an  item  in  your 
paper  to  the  effbct  that  the  remains  of  the  first  May-

stone  to  mark  the  place.'  In  this  your  correspondent 
was  mistaken,  for  the  grave  is  marked  by  a  sm&ll, 
old^ashioned,  but,  considering  the  date  which  It 
bears,  very  substantial  stone  at  the  head  and  another 
at  the  foot.  On  a  recent  visit  to  Little  Neck  btiry- 
ing-gronnd,  I  deciphered  with  some  little  difBculty 
the  inscriptions  on  these  stones,  and  for  the  benefit 
of  those  of  your  readers  who  may  be  interest'^d  by  it,

A  telegram  from  Evansville,  Ind.,  to  the  Cin-

"Mrs.  M.  T.  Scott,  wife  of  a  blacksmith  at  Cynthinna, 
Posey  County,  was  delivered  of  a  chUd  five  months

GOV.  XEWBOLDS  WAT. 
The  Des  Moines  (Iowa)  Begister  of  July  27 
says:  "  Yesterday  Gov.  Newbold  had  a  telegraphic 
correspondence  with  Council  Bluffs  which  conveys  a 
good  lesson  to  other  towns.  A  prominent  and  in- 
fluential citizen  of  that  place  telegraphed  to  the  Gov- 
ernor that  a  mob  had  possession  of  the  city,  and 
asked  bli"  to  telegraph  to  the  Secretary  of  War  to 
send  United  States  troops  there.  The  Governor  re- 
sponded that  the  Sheriff  of  the  cotmty  was  the  man 
to  preserve  order,  and  in  pursuance  of  that  duty  he 
had  the  right  to  call  upon  the  military  of  the  oounty, 
ttniformed  or  not,  to  assist  him.  If  with  the  aid  of 
these  ho  cannot  prcser\'e  the  peace,  then  tiie  Gover- 
nor will  send  enough  othor  Militlameai  to  secure  that 
end.  The  Snato  or  Iowa  can  defend  Itself  from  do- 
mestic Tiolenco.  and  will  nos  eall  upon  the  General 
Govenuq^ent  to  do  it.  This  was  the  gist  of  the  Gov-

THE  COST  OF  tXVIKG. 

ESTniATES   PEGM    CINCDrN'ATI— WAGES    AND 
PAJillir  EXPENSES    REDUCED    ABOUT    IN 
THE    SAME    PROPOETION     DUBINQ     THE 
LAST  piVE  TEABS. 
From  tike  CiMinnati  Obfnm«reicU,  July  29. 

Workin]^  mbn  who  have  regular  employment 
are  gettltUE  ihrough  the  era  of  bnshieBS  depression 
with  less  hardship  than  is  currently  supposed.  The 
struggle  to  {live  Is  no,  or  at  the  worst  but  little, 
harder  than!  it  was  five  years  ago.  Wages  have  been 
much  rediujed,  it  is  tme,  but  s^  have  fumly  ex- 
penses, and]  the  reduction  in  the  former  case  has 
been  no  OTater  than  in  the  latter.  The  working 
man  handlei  less  money  than  formerly,  aa  does  every 
one  else,  aiid  measured  in  dollars,  his  savings  are 
less  than  thjey  once  were,  but  if  he  has  work  regu- 
larly he  tirobably  lives  as  comfortably  and  as 
easily  as  djiriiig  the  years  immediately  succeeding 
the  war.  In  the  case  of  those  who  have  work  but  a 
I)art  of  thej  time,  and  not  all,  of  course  the  situa- 
tion is  different.  An  exception  should  also  bo  made 
of  the  class  [who  four  or  five  years  ago  aspired  to  own 
houses,  and|bongIit  property  at  a  high  figure  on  long 
time.  All  the  hardships  of  the  debtor  class  are 
theirs,  and!4lsoitho8e  experienced  by  property -holders 
in  general,'  arising  from  high  taxes  and  the  heavy  de- 
preciation OX  v^ues.  But  it  is  intheproblem  of  how 
to  meet  cdrreut  living  expenses  that  the  working 
man's  troubles  usually  gather,  and  In  solving  this 
problem  hd  isi  to-day  confronted  by  comparatively 
fewer  difflculties  that  either  he  or  the  community  in 
general  reaJize-i 

Ir'ome  qoniparisout  between  wages  and  the  cost  of 
living  at  prisent  and  five  years  ago  this  Summer  will 
not  be  founb  uninteresting.  Within  this  period  the 
ahrinkflge  it  values  has  for  the  most  part  occurred. 
Wages  in  the  Summer  of  1872  were  about  as  high  as 
at  any  tima  siiJce  the  war.  and  the  prices  charged  for 
the  neces'-aneS  and  comforts  of  life. had  fallen  but 
little.  Sii^e  that  date  marked  changes  have  taken 
place.  La^r,  provisions,  clothing,  fuel,  and  rents 
have  suffered  a  heavy  decrease  in  value.  How  much 
theshiinkage  jhas  been,  at^d  what  proportion  ha? 
been  maintained  between  the'  prices  paid  for  labor 
and  for  the  necessaries  of  life  a  few  comparisons  will 
suffice  to  snow; 

Probably  I  there  Is  no  class  of  working  men  whose 
'wage:*  will  jfunmh  a  better  criterion  for  estimating 
the  reduction  which  has  taken  place  during  the  last 
five  years  than  the  cotnmon  laoorers.  In  XS72  the 
rate  paid  overivgreaterpartof  the  country  to  this  class 
was  91  50  jpeij  day.  First-clasa  men  in  some  cases  re- 
ceived mote,  and  there  were  those  who  even  at  that 
time  workeid  for  less.  The  average  and  usual  rate 
-  paid,  however.;  for  common  labor  was  $1  50  per  day. 
At  the  present  time  the  same  grade  of  labor  com- 
mands $1 '  per  day  on  an  average  the  country  over. 
This  gives  a  rWuctlon  of  33  1-3  percent.  Among 
mechanics  the  reduction  has.  been  in  some  instances 
proportionally  greater  and  in  some  less.  A  mechanic 
who  used  ito  command  $4  per  day  now  gets  about 
S>*2  50.  and  one  wlio  once  earned  $3  now  works  for 
$2.  Probably  aa  a  class  the  reduction  in  the  wages 
of  mechanics  has  been  about  equal  to  that  of  common 
lat>orer3.  and  may  be  set  down  aa  ranging  from  30  to 
40  per  cent.,  and  averaging  about  35  per  cent.  If  a 
similar  redaction  appears  in  tho  cost  of  living,  the 
working  man  who  Is  free  from  debt  and- ftilly  em- 
ployed muist  be  regarded  as  in  quite  as  prosperous  a 
condition  tjo-diiy  as  in  1872. 

To  deteriuiue"  with  exactness  what  the  difference  In 
the  cost  of  ]li\ing  is  between  the  present  time  and  any 
previous  date  i%  not  an  easy  thing.  The  market  re;' 
ports  vary  from  day  to  dav,  and  often  at  different 
Iiours  of  the  same  day,  which  tends  to  confu.se  the 
comparison  of  any  two  periods.  The  difference  in 
prices,  however,  can  be  uetennlned  approximately, 
and  for  the  bresent  puri'^st?  such  a  result  is  quite 
Buflicient.  j  A  pretty  clear  idea  of  the  variation  In 
table  expenses  between  corresponding  dates  of  the 
Summers  of  1872  and  1877  can  be  gathered  from  the 
table  arru^ged  below :

It  will  be  observed  that  tlour.  meat,  and  potatoes 
are  higher  at  the  present  time  than  in  l)j72.  and  tiie 
remaining  articles  mentioned  considerably  lower. 
I'lour  is  about  20  per  cent,  higher,  pork  10  per  cent., 
and  potatoes  2JS  per  cent.  Butter,  however,  is  about 
33  per  cent,  cbenper  tlian  in  the  Summer  of  1872, 
cheese  25ipercent.,  egj;r3  20  per  cent.,  coffee  6  per 
irnt.,  sugar  10  per  cent-,  molasses  10  percent.,  and 
salt  35  per  cent.  The  minor  ariicles  of  table  use, 
not  included  In  the  above  taUe.  are  all  or  nearly  all, 
to  be  had  at  prices  considerably  lower  than  five  years 
a^o.  Balancing  against  fioitr.  potatoes,  and  pork, 
(ftei-f  is  cheaper  now  than  in  1^-2, j  the  mufli  longer

These  tpiot^tions  show  a  reduction  in  the  price  of 
sheetings  duriuf:  the  tive  years  in  quej*tiou  of  I212 
per  cent.,  or  thereabout:  of  prints  40  per  cent.[ 
ginL'hams^  45  percent.;  corset  jeans.  40  per  cent.; 
tickings.  25  per  cent.,  and  denims.  35  per  cent. 
Other  articles  of  dry  gr>»ds  have  fallen  in  price  cor- 
respondingly, the  average  reduction  being  probably 
about  35|per  cent.,  the  same  as  has  been  noted  to 
have  taken  pla-ro  iji  the  prices  paid  for  labor. 

In  1872  the  price  of  coal  (delivered)  averaged  22 
cents  pei-  blmhel ;  today  the  best  YougJiiogheny 
cau  be  liad  for  11  cents,  a  reduction  of  50  per  cent, 
ill  a  prominefnt  article  iu-the  account  of  family  ex- 
penses. Kent,  another  important  item,  has  been  re- 
duced at  le.-ist  35  per  cent.  Xeat  and  well-arranged 
cottages  are  still  held  a*  a  high  figure,  but  a  raalority 
of  dwelling-bouses  rent  for  only  about  two-thirds. 
many  not  more  than  half,  what  they  did  five  years 
ago.  Dwelliligs  that  used  to  bring  $50  per  month 
it  is  now  hard  to  get  $35  for,  and  those  which  for- 
merly rented  reatfily  for  $30  are  now  offered  for  .$20, 
and  perhaps  even  lesa.  Clothing  is  at  least  50  per 
cent,  cheaper  than  in  1872.  In  some  grades  the  re- 
duction has  been  more  than  50  per  cent.,  but  for 
nobby  atiits,. made  to  order,  a  good  price  is  still  de- 
manded, j  Ak  tbe  poorer  grades  are  much  the  most 
frequenth-  bpuelit,  there  is  little  probability  thit  it 
is  overstating  the  matter  to  put  the  average  reduc- 
tion at  5I0  per  cent.  House-furnishing  go*>ds  have 
dejyi^^ed  ill  value  fully  40  per  cent.,  furniture  35 
.-jJ?rcentTrgtS.ss-ware  33  per  cent.,  cutler}'  25  per 
cent.,  aiid  crockerj-  2U  per  cent.  The  price  of 
board,  na  wo  should  expect,  remembering  tlmt  table 
expenses  arc)  little  changed.  Is  about  the  same  as  five 
years  ago.     ' 

A  coDclu«3on  in  regard  to  the  cost  of  living  at 
present,  ^.s  compared  with  the  Summer  of  1872,  ,can 
best  be  reached  by  tabulating  the  comparisons  above 
made  of  the  prices  of  some  of  the  lea<ling  articles  of 
consumption.  Annexed  are  the  items  mentioned, 
aud  the  reduction  in  price,  where  any  has  occurred  : 

I>r>-  goods,  reduced  35  per  cent.;  coal,  reduced  bO 
percent-[  rent,  reduced  33  cent.;  clothing,  reduced 
yO  per  cent.;  houBe-fumishlng  goods,  redrced  40  per 
cent.;  furniture,  reduced  35  per  cent.;  board  and 
table  expenses  have  *not  been  reduced. 

Of  couTsej  tvith  different  families  and  individuals 
the  proportion  varies  wMch  each  of  the  above  items 
forms  in  the  aggregate  cost  of  li^'lng.  Ignoring, 
however;  either  the  item  of  "  board"  or  "  table 
expenses,''  as  the  case  retjuired,  it  would  probably  be 
found  that  the  reduction  m  the  last  five  years  in  the 
coat  of  living  has  not  been  less  than  30  per  cent. 
Xone  of  thei  items  given,  it  will  be  noted,  save  the 
last  two,  show  a  reduction  of  loss  than  35  per  cent., 
and  in  two  instances  we  have  felt  warranted  in 
placing  it  as  high  as  50  per  cent. 

With  wages  reduced  only  about  35  per  cent.,  it  Is 
manifest  that  the  working  man  who  is  fully  employed 
is  not  a  severe  sufferer  from  the  dull  times.  The  diffi- 
culty is  in  not  finding  anything  to  do.  There  is 
where  tho  suffering  originates. 


THE  J>ROWyiyo  OP  MR,  FEKDALL.  - 
Th&Washington  iVofton  of  Monday  has  the 
following  In  relation  to  the  accidental  drowning  of 
_^  Mr.  Stratford  Fendall,  a  popular  and  successful  votmg 
lawyer  oi  that  city:  "ilr.  Fendall  was  returning  on 
Saturday  evening  from  a  visit  to  Alexandria.  The 
storm  had  darkened  the  twilight,  and  Mr.  Fendall, 
being  very  near-sighted,  walked  from  the  wharf  into 
the  river.  It  is  aupposed  that  the  accident  escaped 
the  observation  of  those  going  from,  and  coming  on 
the  boat,  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  sound  of-  his  fall 
was  lost  in  tho  noise  on  the  wharf  and  on  the  ad- 
jacent  steamers,  some  of  which  were  about  starting. 
His  disappearance  into  the  water  was,  however,  seen 
by  some  pensous  on  an  opposite  wharf.  They  has- 
tened around  to  the  spot,  giving  the  alarm,  but  too 
late  to  be  of  any  assLstance  to  the  unfortunate  young 
gentleman,  for,  although  his  body  was  almost  Imme- 
diately recovered,  life  was  extinct.  Mr.  Fendall  was 
a  young  gentleman  of  original  and  decided  talents, 
and  highly  esteemed  by  his  associates.  He  was  the 
youngest  son  of  the  late  Philip  R.  Fendall,  of  the 
Wasmngton  Bar." 

'  '  A  PIKK  FOND-LILT. 
With  its  iisuai  enthusiasm  over  such  matters, 
the  Providence  Journal  says:  *'  'Here  is  a  pink 
pond-lily  I*  said  a  friend,  presenting  at  the  same  time 
a  bud  of  the  rose-tinted  flower.  It  was  an  unsightly 
object  to  behold,  >^th  Its  coarse  indla-rubber-Uke 
stem,  it^  purplish  green  aepab  tightly  inclosing  the 
petals.  Cau  a  miracle  of  beauty  He  hidden  under 
such  a  rough  exterior  f  we  mentally  ask  as  we  place 
tiie  bud  In  fresh  water  and  wait  for  future  develop- 
ment. The  next  morning  a  marvelons  transforma- 
tion took  place.  The  pond-lily  was  astir  with  the 
morning  sunbeams,  the  mysteriou-s  life  principle  was 
at  work,  the  curious  instinct  bom  with  the  plant  burst 
tbe  chains  that  imprisoned  it,  and  displayed  the  per- 
fected flower  in  its  ineffable  loveliness-  It  was  a 
pure  pleasure  to  witness  the  graceful   opening  of 


touched  with  the  roty  hu|B  of  ijhe  oceau  shell,  waa  be- 
fore our  admlrins  erde  In  all  the  glory  of  fraeh  inflor- 
escence. The  old  Greek'  inyth  made  water-lilies  the 
abode  of  the  nymphs  car  naiads  that  peopled  the 
streams,  and  the  plant  jhas  received  the  botanical 
name  of  Nympht^a  odc/rata^  from  the  Ppetlc  legend, 
and  the  delicious  fragrance  it  exhales.  The  flower  we 
celebrate  was  a  channin^  pet^nlfication  of  a  water- 
spirit,  with  its  roBv  blush,  Its  heart  of  gold,  its  sym- 
metry of  form,  its  graceful  repose,  and  its  Kweet  per- 
fume. The  tricksy  sprite'appeared  very  well  satiBfled 
with  her  Quarters,  even  if  she  were  not  in  her  native 
element,  for  the  superb!  corolla  remained  open  for 
nearly  48  hours  without'  a  symptom  of  decay,  and 
when  at  last  it  succumbed  to  inevitable  fate,  it  seemed 
as  if  something  human  were  uasadng  away  aa  the

From  ilu  San  Jtfrawiseo  BuUetin,  July  23. 
Less  than  25  ^m  ago  California  w.  s  re- 
garded as  a  country  ^Mai,  uwiigh  rich  in  gold,  silver, 
and  quicksilver,  mtist  import  dothlng,  furniture,  aud 
much  of  its  food  tnmi  ^stant  lands.  Those  familiar 
with  the  history  ^  of  j  otiier  mineral  countries  antici- 
pated a  renewal  of  jthiefir  experience,  which  almost 
uniformly  has  thowni  the  masses  impoverished  and 
improvident,  and  wealti|concflntrated  among  a  few ; 
the  very  rich  debased  l^  luxury  and  the  poor  made 
vicious  and  ignorant  by  poverty.  What  a  contrast  to 
all  this  our  experien<je  has  afforded.  Our  rich  soil 
and  genial  climate  has  y  ielded  a  variety  of  wealth 
vastly  more  beneficial  to  humanity  than  the  precious 
metals,  while  the  energy  and  inventive  geflius  of  our 
people  are  developl)flg  manufactures  that  not  only 
enrich  the  community,  b  it  lertilize  the  streams  of 
commerce.  j  I 

The  wheat,  barley,  ftats,  potatoes,  beans,  borax, 
mustard-seed,  bops,  &c.^  ^theredfrom  our  fields,  the 
wool  and  hides  fromlourl  cattle,  the  salmon  from  our 
rivers,  the  dried  audi  cairined  fruits,  wine,  and  raisins 
from  our  orchards  aiid  vineyaifds,  pour  out  from  the 
Golden  Gate  In  a  sieadk'  stream,  spreading  not  only 
among  tho  islands  ^jf  the  Pacific  and  the  continents 
watered  by  its  wavek,  bfnt  estendmi;  to  the  Atlantic 
and  Mediterranean.  Before  many  years  the  myriad 
dwellers  in  the  valley  of  j  the  Missl.s»ippi  will  receive 
daily  and  bounteous  pupplies  of  the  oranges,  almonds, 
oUves,  lemons,  bonanaa  an^  other  tropical  fruits, 
whose  luscious  superiority  ovpr  such  as  are  imported 
across  salt  water  is  alreiawy  sttieugthening  'an  appetite 
that  will  grow  by  what  it  feeds  upon. 

Even  the  sterile  plains,  where  the  sage-bush  pro- 
claims the  Bcan'ity  ^f  water,  and  not  a  flower  lifts 
its  head  above  the  sand,  lare  f<jund  to  furnish  eagerly- 
sought  pasturage  for  cphntleas  swarms  of  bees,  and 
their-store  of  unsuiyassbd  hoiiey  Is  spread  by  white- 
winded  ships  Ihrougb  lands  to  which  the  swift  flight 
of  the  gatherers  couW  never  carry  them. 

Last  year  upwatd  bf  10.000  dozen  of  the 
brooms  ma<le  in  otiT  factories,  from  material  grown 
by  our  farmers,  were  eicported  to  Australia,  1  Japan, 
and  other  Pacifle  jcoutiltries.  This  year,  probably. 
1.000,000  eons  of  jfisbl  caught  in  adjacent  waters. 
will  be  shipped  la  1  foreign  lands.  Frequently  some 
enterprising  mind  de|\'ote8  itself  to  a  vigorous  develop- 
ment of  a  neglecteilj  source  of  wealth,  and  astonishes 
the  community  by  1  the"  magnificent  results  which 
pluck  and  enerso-'accoriiplish,  with  a  rapidity  rarely 
seen  among  older,  peoples.  |  Comparatively  a  short 
short  time  ago  oiir  townsman.  Hayward,  organized 
one  of  the!»o  enterprises.  wb|lch  will  serve  to  illus- 
trate the  features  of  California  which  we  are  dis- 
cussiiut. 

The  SierraXevaJJJasiaaylje  justly  proclaimed  the 
grande.st  physical  jfeatire  of  the  North  American 
Continent.  ClothltiK  th*  hillsides  whicli  bound  them 
are  thousands  of  sijuart  miles  of  forests,  comprising 
fir.  white,  yellow,  and  B'lgar  pines,  gigantic  redwood 
trees,  and 'the  Ktill  more  m^eslic  tequtna  ifiganUa. 
Mr.  Hayward,  withfar-ssjeing  sngacitv,  has  harnessed 
the  mountain  streams — nature's  swift  couriers — and 
by  constructing  150  miles  of  flumes,  utilizes  these 
forests.  Clinging  to  thfc  mountain  sides  and  leaping 
across  the  canons  |lifted  in  places  more  than  70  feet 
above  the  earth,  tihese  flumes  carry  the  collected 
drop?  from  the  weeping  glaciers  with  their  burden  of 
"  balsamic  boards  I  in  winding  and  picturesque  ways 
from  the  mountains  toward  the  sea.  and  frail  as  thev 
look,  transported  [ast  year  over  30.000. OOOfeet  of 
yellow  and  sugar  ^uiie,  which  was  scattered  through- 
out the  State  and;,  helped  to  erect  many  a  home, 
which,  but  for  its  i  abundance  and  cheapness,  might 
have  longer  remained  a  hope  instead  of  a  reality  to 
its  inmates.  . 

Some  poet  who  has  hip  head  fnll  of  political  econo- 
my as  well  as  a  heart  filled  with  love  for^  his  fellow 
men,  has  praised  as  th«  world's  benefactor  the  man 
who  causes  two  speara  of  grass  to  »crow  where  but 
one  grew  l>efore.  but  hLs  harp  wouid  vibrate  to  a 
more  exultant  eulogy  If  he  |  could  safely  rtoat  150 
miles  on  the  waters  of  the  Sierra  Flume  and  Lum- 
ber Company  amid  the  )R-ildest  and  ijrandest  scenerj'

their  supply  is  ineXliausiible  for  iialf  a  centurj*.  they 
are  arranging  to  secure  foreign  markets,  such  as 
China  aud  -Au.s'ralla,  tJoj  consume  their  supplies. 

Their  sugar  pine  is  8uperir«r  in  many  respects  to 
the  white  pine  whjch  Bos;ton  and  New- York  have 
t>een  for  many  yealrs  supplying  to  those  countries, 
and  Maine  and  Michigan  most  hi?  content  for  a  gene-

issues  had  Wen  ii?trrowed  down  to  one,  whtefa  the

or  a  separate  lodej  T^ie  defendant's  theory  is  that 
there  is  a  lode  in  the[  llimestone,  because  the  crop-

UW  REPORTS. 


IMPBISOyM£XT  FOB  DEBT, 
A  PBISOKER  IN  L^DLOW-STRKET  JAIL  POR 
SEVEKTEEN  MONTHS— A>f  APPLICATION' 
FOR  HIS  RELEASE  BEFORE  JUDGE  VAX 
HOESEN. 
Joseph  Small  has  been  a  prisoner  in  Lxidlow- 
Street  Jail  for  tiwut  17  moutha.  He  was  arrested 
for  converting  $2,800  to  his  own  use  which  belonged 
to  a  wine  merchant  for  whom  he  hadbe^  selling 
goods,  and  he  was  lodged  In  the  jail  where  he  has 
since  remained. '  Application  was  made  for  his  dis- 
charge under  the  Insolvent  Debtor's  act,  about  Ave 
months  a^,  before  Judge  Donohue.  It  was  then 
held  that  he  had  not  accounted  for  the  money  which 
he  had  converted,  and  his  discbarge  was  denied. 
Yesterday  his  counsel,  3J[r.  Peter  Mitchell,  made  ap- 
plication to  Judge  Van  Hoesen,  in  Common  Pleas, 
Chambera.  for  liis  release,  and  presented  additional 
prt^,  among  which  waa  a  certificate  of  death  of  a 
mavwho  hail  appropriated  $1,900  of  the  money. 
Mr.  Jesse  Furlong,  on  behalf  of  the  creditors, 
raised  the  prelimi^ry  objection  that  the  proceeding 
was  res  a^yudicata  on  the  ground  that  prior  pro- 
ceedings before  Judge  Donohue  had  made  It  impos- 
sible to  renew  the  application  to  discharge.  As  this 
claim,  If  allowed,  would  be  equivalent  to  an  order 
for  the  perpetual  imprisonment  of  Small,  Mr.  Mitchell 
argued  that  the  court  oould  not  make  the  law,  but 
must  construe  it  according  to  the  intent  of  the  law- 
maldng^wwer.  It  had  been  the  policy  in  all  civilized 
countries  to  reduce  the  penalties  for  crime,  and  to 
legislate  in  favor  of  the  Ubeities  of  the  citizen. 
He  cited  the  case  of  the  Eoyal  Commis- 
sion in  Eiu;Iand.  which  In  1836  reduced  the  death 
penalties  from  36  in  number  to  six,  and  showed  that 
they  had  since  been  reduced  to  two.  so  that  the  only 
crimes  now  forfeitinfE  life  were  high  treason  and 
murder.  In  this  State  the  Legislature  intended  to 
abolish  imprisonment  for  debt,  and  had  so  modified 
the  laws  that  an  application  can  now  be  made  by 
an  imprisoned  debtor  or  often  as  he  de- 
sires. LC  it  were  not  so,  if  the  debtor  had  no  money, 
or  friends  to  oome  forward  to  pay  the  judgments 
against  him,  and  his  application  were  once  denied,  he 
would  be  obliged  to  remain  in  prison  for  the  term  of 
his  natural  life,  if  the  doctrine  of  res  "ad judicata  ap- 

glied.  Mr.  Mitchell  cited  the  case  of  Roberts,  claim- 
ig  that  the  Court  of  Appeals  nad  reversed  the  judg- 
ment of  the  General  Term  In  that  case,  so  that  the 
doctrine  of  res  adjudicate  was  overruled.  He  also 
cited  the  case  of  the  People  against  Brady,  when 
Judge  Andrews  held  that  where  a  person  was  de- 
prived of  his  liberty,  and  he  had  applied  to  be  dis- 
charged by  writ  of  habeas  corpus,  he  could  apply  as 
often  as  he  liked.  Judge  Van  Hoesen  laid  the  matter 
over  tmtil  to-day,  desiring  to  examine  the  Roberts 
cose  before  rendering  decision.

BCSIKESS  RETARDED  IN  CONSEQUENCE  OP  A 
DIPPICULTT  IN  OBTAINING  A  QUORUM — 
JUSTICE  DUFFY'S  NEGLECT  CAUSES  MUCH 
INCONVENIENCE. 
An  incident  that  seriously  interfered  with  the 
transaction  of  court  business,  and  resulted  in  the  re- 
manding to  the  Tombs  of  a  large  number  of  prisoners 
who  bad  been  called  up  for  trial,  occurred  yesterday 
in  the  Court  of  Special  Sessions.  During  the  past 
month  Justice  Octerbourg  has  been  sitting  at  the 
Tombs  Police  Court  steadily  every  day,  and  has  alio 
acted  as  a  substitute  for  Justice  Kasmire,  at  the 
Court  of  Special  Sessions.  Some  days  ago  he  re- 
ceived a  letter  from  Justice  Wandell,  asking  him  to 
take  the  latter's  place  at  Special  Sessions.  He  wrote 
immediately  to  Justice  Wandell,  telling  him  that  he 
would  see  him  at  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Jus- 
tices on  Monday  last.  There  he  explained  that  he 
could  not  take  his  place,  as  he  was  physically  unable 
to  do  so  from  overwork.  An  arrangement  was  accord- 
ingly made  with  Justice  Daffy  to  become  Justice 
.Wandell's  substitute.  Yesterday,  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Court  of  Special  S*  sslons,  there  were  present  at 
10:30  o'clock  Justices  Murray  and  Morgan,  who  after 
waiting  until  11:15  o'clock  for  Justice  Duffy,  finally 
sent  for  Justice  Otterbourg.  who  was  sitting  in  the 
Tombs  Police  Court.  Justice  Otteriwurg  immedi- 
ately adjourned  bis  court  and  went  to  the  Court  of 
Sjjeclal  Sessions,  where  having  explained  to  the 
other  Justices  the  arrangement  that  had  l>een  made 
with  Justice  Duffy,  and  also  explained  that  the 
amount  of  business  in  his  own  court  would  render 
him  unable  to  sit  with  them  throughout  the  session, 
consented  to  sit  until  Justice  Duffy  made  iiis  appear- 
ance. At  noo'n  the  latter  having  not  yet 
come.  Justice  Otterbourg  insisted  upon 
an         adjournment,         to         enable         him  to 

return  to  his  duties  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court.  In 
the  meantime,  word  was  sent  to  Justice  Wandell. 
asking  him  to  come  to  court  to  finL'ih  tlie  buBijief*s  of 
the  session.  He  did  uot  appear  at  1  o'clock,  where- 
upon Justices  Murray  and  Mor^n  again  sent  for 
Justice  Otterbourg,  who,  though  somewhat  nettled 
at  ha\ing  Ids  business  again  Interrupted,  once  m^re 
left  court,  and  g«Jing  to  Special  Sessions  said  he  would 
sit  for  15  minutes,  but  no  longer,  as  his  presence 
was  absolutely  demanded  in  his  own  court.  He  sat 
*for  25  minutes,  however,  when  he  again  left  to 
attend  to  his  duties  in  the  Police  Court-  Neither 
Justice  Wandell  nor  Justice  Duffy  having  arrived  in 
the  meantime,  the  session  was  adjourned,  and  15 
prisoners,  whose  cases  might  have  been  disposed  of 
had  Justice  Duffy  kept  liis  appointment,  were  re- 
manded to  prison  for  three  days  to  await  trial  at  the 
next  session  of  the  court.

A  JEWELERS  DOUBTFUL  TRAXSACTIOX. 
Samuel  Hirsch,  2^  years  of  age,  giving,  liis 
residence  oa  East  Fourteenth-street,  ana'  his  business 
as  jeweler,  visited  the  jewelry  store  of  Louis  Kahn, 
No.  10  Maiden-lane,  yesterday,  and  selected  two  gold 
watches  valued  at  $96  6-4,  tendering  in  payment  a 
draft  for  3450  purporting  to  have  been  drawn  on  the 
Merchants'  National  Bank  of  Chicago  to  Hirsch  s 
order  by  Jerry  Wood,  a  banker  at  Savanna,  Dl. 
Kahn.  believing  the  draft  to  be  genuinei  drew  a  check 
to  Hirsch's  order  for  $353  36,  which  he  presented 
to  him  with  the  watches  as  the  balance  due 
him.  Subsequently  ho  telegraphed  to  Jerry  Wood, 
asking  alwut  the  draft,  and  received  a  dispatch 
to  the  effect  that  no  such  draft  had  been  drawn  by 
Wood.  -He  thereupon  placed  the  case  in  tlie  hands 
of  Officer  Hsgan,  of  the  First  Precinct,  who  arrested 
Hirsch  with  the  watches  in  his  possession.  Upon  be- 
ing arraigned  before  Justice  Otterbourg.  at  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  the  prisoner  claimed  that  he  had  ob- 
tained the  draft  he  had  presented  to  Kahn  from  a 
man  named  James  Wood,  whom  he  had  got  ac- 
quainted with  some  days  ago  in  Central  Pnrk.  and 
who  had  represented  himself  to  be  the  Cashier  of  the 
Exchange  Bank  of  Savanna.  EU.  Ho  sold  Wood  a 
diamond  ring  for  $1*25,  and  a  watch,  tliat  he  had 
bought  of  Kahti,  for  ?75.  Wood  had  given  him  the 
draft  in  question  in  payment,  and  tho  prisoner  had 
then  paid  him  $240  in  ca.sh.  leaving  -$10  still  due 
him,  which  he  arranged  to  pay  him  when  they  again 
met.  The  prisoner  had  not  seen  the  man  Rince.  He 
was  committed  for  trial  in  default  of  $1,000  bail. 

STENOGRAPST  IX  BANKSUPTCT  CASES. 
In  the  bankruptcy  cage  of  Daniel  Frey  et  al., 
pending  before  Register  Ketchum,  counsel  for  the 
Assignee  proceeded  to  take  down  the  ejuiminatlon  by 
a  stenographer,  as  is  usual  in  such  coses,  whereupon 
counsel  for  the  bankrupts  objected,  unless  counsel 
for  the  Assignee  would  supply  him  with  a  copy  cTatis. 
on  the  ground  that  a  Register  is  obliged  to  have  the 
depositions  or  testimony  taken  tn  or  reduced  to.  com- 
mon writing,  so  that  counsel  might  see  clearly  the 
questions  and  answers,  so  as  to  cross-examine. '  Tlie 
Register  overruled  the  objection,  sa\*ing  that  the 
question,  in  substance,  was  that  either  'party  might. 
at  his  will,  forbid  stenograpliy  and  coinpel  commou 
writing,  and  this  could  not^be  done.  The  question 
was  certified  to  Judge  Blatchford  for  determination, 
and  ho  yesterday  decided  to  sustain  the  Register's 
views.

heard  that  Joseph  Rosenblatt,  a  grocer,  at  No.  34 
East  Broadway,  waa  passing  counterfeit  25  cent 
pieces  on  his  customers,  and  on  Monday  the  Captain 
sent  a  boy  to  the  store  with  a  dollar  note  to  purchase 
some  crackers,  and  he  received  one  of  the  counterfeit 
pieces  in  change.  Capt.  Foley,  attired  in  citizen's  dress, 
and  simulating  intoxication,  shortly  afterward  entered 
the  store  and  offered  another  note  in  payment  for 
a  small  purchase,  but  received  good  change.  He  then 
sent  in  another  boy  with  a  third  not**,  and  he  was 
given  B  counterfeit  piece.  The  Captain  arrested 
Rosenblatt  and  his  wife  Rosanua.  and  found  $6  50 
in  counterfeit  pieces  on  Rosenblatt,  and  $20  more  in 
a  bureau  drawer.  Rosenblatt's  excuse  was  that  he 
had  'traded  "  a  horse  for  $25.  receiving  $10  of  the 
amount  in  tliis  counterfeit  money,  which  he  thought 
he  would  "pass  aroiuid."  This,  of  course,  was  no 
excuse  at  all,  and.  in  any  event,  would  only  account 
for  about  a  third  of  the  money  traced  to  his  posses- 
sion, but  Capt.  Foley  said  he  found  that  the  horse 
story  was  made  out  of  whole  cloth,  no  such  "traie" 
ha\ing  been  made.  Rosenblatt  and  bis  wife  were  ar- 
raigneu  yesterdav  morning  before  Commissioner 
Shi*']ds.  'The  male  prisoner  was  held  in  default  of 
$3.0(.H)  bail  for  an  examination,  and  his  wife  was 
discharged.

On  Saturday  last  Adam  Melchoir,  of  Jersey

tectives, charged  with  stealing  $500  worth  of  clip- 
pings from  his  employer.  Charles  C.  Hastings,  a

street.  An  examination  took  place  before  jJustice 
Wandell.  at  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court,  yester- 
day. when'Mr.  Hastings,  by  whom  the  aeeused  was

aszeut, 'alleged  that  during  the  part  17  years  MeU 
choir  committed  tliefts  amounting  to  $.5.tK>U.  Coun- 
sel for  the  prisoner  infonued  the  m.t;cistrate  that 
Mrs.  Meielioir  had  yesterdav  paid  Mr'  Blackwell. 
the  complainants  nttumey,  $5,000  in  settlement  of 
tho  charge.  Mr.  Blackwell  replied  tliat  the  money

client  had  instituted  a:;aiust  Melchoir.  In  replv  to  a

LORD  DUFFERIN'S  TR. 
The  Quebec  Mercury  of  Satitfd^y  gives  the 
following  as  the  of&cial  programme  of  the  vioe-regal 
visit  to  Manitoba:  "The  Governor-General  and 
Countess  of  DufEerin  and  staff  will  leave  Ottawa  at 
11  A.M.  on  the  30th  July,  traveling  via  Toronto, 
Detroit  Junction,  and  Chicago  to  St.  Paol,  which 
should  be  reached  on  tbe  1st  of  AuAust.  Ijeaving 
St.  Paul  the  morning  of  the  3d  of  August,  they  wiu 
arrive  at  Fisher's  L>»iding  on  the  4th  August..  Tak- 
ing a  special  steamer  for  Winnipeg— ^e  journey 
down  to  Ked  River  occupj-ing  from  50  to  60  hours — 
the  vice-regal  party  wul  arrive  at  the  capital  of 
Manitoba  on  the  6th  or  7th  of  August.  Tne  vico- 
regtd  party  will  be  accommodated  at  Silver  Heights, 
the  residence  of  Hon.  D.  Smith.  The  official  pro- 
gramme for  the  tour  in  the  Prairie  Province,  the  de- 
tails of  which  are  to  be  arranged  later,  has  not  yet 
been  promulgated,  bat  one  or  mora  of  the  Icelandic 
and  Mennonite  settlements  will  probably  be  visited. 
It  is  doubtful,  however,  whether  it  will  be  possible 
to  reach  Battleford."

The  Signal  Serfice  Bureau  report?  indicate 
for  to-day,  in  the  Middle  States  and Xeic- Eng- 
land rising,  possibly  followed  by  falling  bar- 
ometer, north-oast  to  south-east  icinds,  cooler, 
clean,  or  partly  cloudy  tceather,  and  on  the 
coast  fog  or  'rain. 


The  Ohio  Rt-publii;an3  propose  to  give  the 
tresiJeirt  and  his  policy  no  hiilf-hearted  in- 
^uisiiu'  '  Our  i-peuial  eorrespondent  has 
obtaiiLiJ  a  look  at  the  speech  to  be  delivered 
by  Gen.  Ubosvenor,  the  temporary  Chair- 
man of  the  convention,  and  there  is  good  rea- 
son for  accepting  his  sentiments  as  the  kcy- 
no'ce  of  the  resolutions.  Nothing  could  well 
Vx-  more  eathusiastio  than  the  approval  of 
t'j.e  Southern  policy  of  the  Administration 
yeonveyed  by  this  speech,  and  certainly 
nothing  could  be  more  just  than  its  state- 
Tneuts  in  regard  to  the  President's  entire 
consistency  and  honesty  of  purpose  in  ap- 
plying to  the  settlement  of  the  Southern 
problem  the  principles  enunciated  in 
thi>  national  platform  of  last  year, 
and  repeatixl  in  Mr,  Haves'  let- 
ter of  acceptance.  The  President  has, 
from  the  first,  had  in  \-iew  but  one  interpre- 
tation of  these  iiriueiples,  and  th.it  is  cer- 
-tainly  moro  than  can  be--  said  for  a  good 
maa\-  of  his  critics.  There  can  be  no  doubt 
that  his  interpretation  has  differed  essen- 
tially trrjm  that  of  the  majority  of  his  party, 
but  it  is  equally  certain  that  only  a  small 
minority  is  prepared  formally  to  censure  him 
on  t>iat  account,  or  is  at  all  disposed  to  treat 
th&  Southern  question  as  a  live  issue  in  cur- 
irerit  jiolitics^ 


It  is  still  to  be  feared  that  on  questions 
"Vhich  are  of  pressing  importance  the  voice 
'vi  Ohio  will  tend  to  confuse  the  minds  of 
ihe  people  who  expect  from  all  sections  of 
the  Republican  Party  coherent  opinions  on 
the  currency  and  on  revenu-e  and  civil  ser- 
vice reform.  An  earnest  attempt  is  being 
made  to  keep  the  Kepublicau  Party  of  the 
Btate  up  to  its  old  standard  of  hard-money 
floctriue,  but  when  even  Gen.  Garfield  has 
professed  himself  as  "  not  strenuous  for  any 
fijced  day"  of  resumption,  the  financial' 
plank  of  the  platform  is  not  likely  to  stand 
rery  Pilose  inspection.  An  attempt  to  out- 
tid  the  Democrats  in  their  tippeals  to  popu- 
lar -credulity  and  ignorance  is  about  the  last 
thirng  to  benefit  the  Republican  cause  in 
OJiio,  though  Senator  Matthews  appears  to 
have  seriously  made  it.  After  the  very 
/.orcible  exposure  by  Gen.  Guosvekor  of  tlio 
mischievous  demagogism  of  the  Democratic 
platform,  it  would  certainly  be  ridiculous  as 
well  as  dangerous  to  encourage  any  efforts 
in  a.  similar  direction. 


The  Pittsburg,  Fort  Wayne  and  Cliicago 
Railroad  remains  the  last  stronghold  of  the 
strike,  but  the  demands  of  the  men  are 
surged  with  a  degree  of  resolution  which 
shows  no  consciousness  that  their  cause  is 
lost.  The  Governor  of  Indiana  seems  equal- 
ly unable  to  protect  the  railroad  company 
and  to  make  a  formal  demand  for  Federal 
troojis  to  aid  the  State  in  so  doing.

The  fTurks  are  industriously  endeavoring 
to  mayiufacturo  public  opinion  against  the 
BussJans  on  account  of  the  atrocities  which, 
it  is  alleged,  they  commit  in  Europe  and 
Asiri  Minor.  The  British  Parliament  is  now 
tre  ated  to  a  chapter  of  horrors,  forwarded 
b,y  Mr.  Latard  and  indorsed  by  him  with 
Pome  reserve.  The  British  Minister  says 
that  these  reports  of  Russian  barbarities 
"  have  truth  in  them,  though  they  may  be 
exaggerated."  The  Turks  allege  that  the 
Russians  "  stir  up "  the  '  Bulgarians,  who 
are  armed  by  the  invaders,  and  who 
them  turn  upon  their  Mussulman  neigh-

We  are  glad  to  find  thatithe  Evening  Post 
has  so! clear  a  perception  of  the  political  im- 
becility of  the  objections  to  a  coalition 
luoveiient  against  Tammany  Hall  this  Fall. 
People  wlio  talk  about  a  "  straight  Repub- 
lican ticket"  for  local  offices  are  earning 
the  pay  of  Kelly  and  his  gang,  whether 
they  receive  it  or  not.  The  City  is  poorer 
and  worse  governed  to-tlay  because  of  the 
disreputable  bargain  by  which  Wales  was 
nominated  to  elect  Wickham  in  1S74,  and 
of  the  discreditable  blunder  which  caused 
the  nomination  of  Gen.  Dix  as  a  Republican 
dimimy  la.st  year.  One  effect  of  the  former 
transaction  was  to  intrench  1  Repub- 
lican office-holders  in  j  places  |  whore 
they  wore  able  to  1  defeat  ''  reform 
legislation  aimed  against  municipal  job- 
bery, and  certainly  not  the  least  injurious 
result  of  the  latter  has  been  to  make  Tam- 
many Hall  once  more  supreme  in  the  Demo- 
cratic politics  of  the  City  and  State.  There 
is,  fortunately,  little  danger  that  any  such 
tactics  as  those  of  1S74:  and  IS 70  can  be 
repeated  this  year. 


TfTE  KQVITIES  OF  THE  C.ISE. 

If  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  and  the 
other  cbrporatious  which  have  suffered  from 
the  outragi's  of  mobs  avail  themselves  of 
logal  teehuicalitios,  tho  owners  of  freight 
damaged  or  destroyed  in  the  course  of  trans- 
portation may  have  long  to  wait  for  the 
compen.sation  to  which  they  are  entitled. 
It  is  not  easy  to  imagine  a  ease  out  of  which 
la\N->-ers  cannot  extract  excuses  for  pick- 
ings. In  tlie  cases  occasioned  by  the 
strikes  tho  opportunities  for  controversy 
are  wide  and  many.  Tho  question 
may  be  raised,  whether  the  ordinary 
liabilities  of  carriers  extend  to  a  condition  of 
things  not  many  degrees  removed  from  in- 
surrection, and  whether  companies  can  bo 
held  responsible  for  damage  resulting  from 
causes  not  directly  within  their  control.  Le- 
gal ingenuity  will  have  no  difficulty  in  twist- 
ing tho  inquiry  into  a  dozen  different 
forms,  each  of  which  maybe  made  a  pretext 
for  delay,  or  for  some  arbitrary  dictum  from 
the  Bench.  The  suit  just  decided  by  Judge 
DoNouUE,  on  a  question  involving  the 
liability  of  tho  Pennsylvania  Company  for 
interest  on  bonds  issued  by  one  of  its  leased 
roads,  proves  that  the  company  is  not  un- 
willing to  profit  by  technical  Haws  which 
for  tho  time  relieve  it  from  tho  discharge  of- 
a  just  obligation.  A  company  that  so  eks  a 
chance  for  eva^ling  one  of  the  conditions  of 
a  contract  which  circumstances  have  ren- 
dered burdensome  can  hardly  be  trusted  to 
de^l  liberally  witli  its  customers  at  a  time 
when  its  credit  is  strained  to  the  utmost. 
And  therefore  the  e.xpectatioii  is  not  un- 
reason-lble  that  tho  owners  and  consignors 
of  freight  destroyed  at  Pittsburg  and  else- 
where will  find  themselves  involved  in  cost- 
ly and  tedious  litigation  before  they  recover' 
tlie  value  of  tlieir  property. 

Tho  equity  of  their  claim  as  against  the 
railroad  companies  is  apparently  clear.  The 
companies  stand  inthe  relation  of  common 
caiTiers  toward  tho  merchant,  and  are 
respoiL-able  for  losses  produced  by  negli- 
gence or  delay.  When  tliey  receive  freight 
it  is  on  the  general  understanding  that  it 
shall  bo  delivered  within  a  rciaonable  porioil 
and  without  damage,  except  so  far  as  the  lat- 
ter may  bo  inseparable  from  transporta- 
tion. When  the  tumult  began  and  the  pas 
sage  of  jtrains  at  certain  points  was  stopped, 
tlie  cornpanies  refused  to  receive  freight. 
Xo  one  klenies  their  right  to  do  so.  But  th<' 
fact  that  they  exercised  the  right  is  in  ef- 
fect a  confession  of  liability  on  OMtf'nnnt  of 
the  freight  then  in  their  keeping;  .Wiihoat- 
reservation.,  they  ha'i  undertaken  to  carry 
it,  and  if  in  the  performance  of  this  service 
tlie  freight  was  burued  or  othcnvise  lost 
their  liability  would  seem  to  be  unquestion- 
able. True,  the  interventloji  of  a  mob  was 
an  unforeseen  coutingeucy.  Tho  compa- 
nies mtiy  jilead  that  they  proceeded  on  the 
ordinary  suitposition  that  lawful  authority 
protected  thera  against  tho  ravages  of  a 
mob,  and  that  the  break-down  of  the  gov- 
erning power  absolves  them  from  tlio  re- 
sjiousibility  they  are  asked  to  assum'?. 
This  plea  will  bo  the  basis  of  jiroceediiigs, 
say,  by  tiie  Pennsylvania  Company  against 
the  Mimii-ipality  of  Pittsbiirg  or  the  •,'ount.v 
of  Allegheny,  as  tile  case  may  bo,,  but  it 
cannot  be  justly  ui-ged  as  a  bar  to:  t!io  de- 
mand of  the  owners  of  goods  destroyed 
while  in  the  cars^or  tlie  depot  of  the  coin- 
I)any.  Ultimately,  no  doubt,  they  will  be 
able  to  recover.  Tlie  immediate  question 
is,  whether  tho  company,  promptly  recog- 
nizing its  liability,  shall  by  a  fair  settlement 
with  its  customers  mitigate  a  loss  which 
must  othenvise  be  ruinous,  or  wliether  the 
acknowledgment  of  liability,  and  the  con- 
sequent settlement,  shall  be  made 
conditional  upon  its  own  prior  re- 
covery of  damages  from  thcJ  city 
or  tho  Coimty.  The  former  course  is  ob- 
viously the  equitable  one.  It  m:iy  I  bo  in- 
convenieut  to  the  company,  but  it  will  bo 
simple  justice  to  the  individual  sufferers. 
If  the  company  fiiU  back  upon  tho  alterna- 
tive proposition  and  postpone  tho  adjust- 
ment of  its  freighters'  claims  until  it  have 
itself  recovered  damaged,  the  delay  may  be 
almost  indefinite,  and  in  the  interim  gross 
injustice  will  be  inflicted  upon  agents, 
traders,  and  others  who  are  virtually  at  tho 
mercy  of  the  company. 

Of  course,  there  ^vill  be  serious  hardship, 
somewhere,  whatever  be  the  result  iu  re- 
gard to  this  aspect  of  the  matter.  The  com- 
pany will  suffer  from  the  impairment  of  its 
business  facilities  as  well  as  from  injury  to 
its  credit,  but  it  ought  not  therefore  to  ask 
its  customers  to  share  its  losses.  It  has 
enormons  privileges,  which  it  has  exercised 
with  singiUar  indifference  to  everything  save 
its  own  corporate  interests.  It  would  resent 
as  an  absurdity  the  suggestion  that  in 
a  period  of  great  prosperity  it  should  make 
its  cxistomors  sharers  in  its  gains,  and  it  has 
no  morail  right  now  to  impose  upon  them  a 
sort  of  partnership  in  respect  of  its  embar- 
rassments. It  must  make  the  best  arrange- 
ment it  can  with  the  oomnniTiity  whose  cow- 


plaint. 


quire  the  npper  hand ;  and  when  strildng 
the  final  balance  it  should  not  fail  to  recog- 
nize as  a  set-off  to  its  constructive  damages 
the  money  value  of  the  powers  with  which 
H  isi  endowed. 
Ej-eu  Pittsbm^  has  a  valid  cause  of  com- 
Although  its  citizens  have  forfeited 
too  much  respect  to  leave  them  any  hope  of 
sympathy,  their  position  with  reference  to 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  and  its  losses  is 
suggestive  of  some  of  the  peculiarities  that 
have  attended  the  growth  of  the  railroad 
system.  As  long  as  a  railroad  was  wholly 
subject  to  the  laws  of  the  State  from 
which  it  derived  its  charter,  the 
muiiicipalities  through  whose  boundaries 
it  rjan  might  well  be  held  responsible 
for  i|;s  protection.  The  policy  adopted  by 
grea.t  railroads,  and  tho  developments  of 
the  s.vstem  under  their  dtreetiori ,  have  intro- 
duced into  this  view  of  the  case  some 
quallifjnng  considerations.  The-  Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad,  for  example,  has  acquired 
national  proportions.  It  has  gonB  on  ex- 
panding^  adding  tributary  to  tributary, 
until  many  States  feel  the  effects 
of  its  administration.  Its  aggregate 
pay-foil  nearly  approaches  the  total  civil 
service  of  the  United  States.  Its  President, 
absolute  in  his  sphere;  considers  himself 
entitled  to  step  over  the  heads  of  Governors 
of  qtates,  and  on  his  own  account  to  de- 
mand the  aid  of  Federal  troops.  The  sys- 
tem; then,  has  outgrown  its  local  eharac- 
toriskics;  only  in  a  limited  sense  is  it 
amenable  to  local  authority-j^  the  measures 
it  ai^opts  may  precipitate  conflicts  between 
lubor  and  capital,  and  may  tlius  be  the  not 
very  remote  causes  of  mobs  and  riots,  and 
the  destruction  for  which,  under  the  law,  it 
mayiexact  compensation.  And  while  it  has 
pracJ;icaIly  become  superior  to  local  regula- 
tionj  it  has  not  been  made  subject  to  Fed- 
eral control.  The  anomaly  is  too  glaring  to 
be  upheld.  Tho  railroad  system  now  per- 
tjiins  to  the  nation  ratlier  than  to  States, 
and  the  legislation  for  which  it  calls  should 
be  national. 


SmXDLiyti  STATES. 

In  several  States  of  the  Union,  notably 
in  tte  South  and  West,  it  seems  to  be  the 
opinion  that  a  State,  coimty,  or  city  can 
repudiate  an  obligation  on  grounds  which 
an  individual  would  not  dare  to  take.  The 
people — that  is  to  say,  the  voters — meet  at 
the  polls  and  deliberately  decide  to  repuiUate 
a  debt.  If  that  samo  debt,  or  one  of  a  simi- 
lar character,  were  to  be  so  disowned  by  any 
one  of  those  voters,  he  would  be  held  up  to 
public  execration  by  his  neighbors.  More- 
over, the  law  would  hold  him  a  common  swin- 
lUer.  In  Minnesota,  for  example,  the  rail- 
roads borrowed  moiiey  to  construct  their 
linesl  The  State  indorsed  their  bonds,  and 
all  went  well  for  a  season.  Tho  bonds  fell 
due,  and  the  railroad  could  not,  or  would 
not,  pay.  The  .State  bid  in  the  bonds,  and 
took  possession  of  the  property,  but  paid 
nothing.  The  creditors  took  the  cause  to 
the  jL'nited  States  Supreme  Court,  and  ob- 
taiucil  a  decision  to  the  ellei.'t  that  the  rail- 
road company  was  out  of  the  case,  but  the 
State  was  in  equity  bound  to  meet  the  debt. 
There  was  no  way  to  sue  the  State,  and,  by 
a  magnaiiiiiious  course,  the  whole  question 
was  submitted  to  tho  people.  The  bond- 
holders were  ready  to  take  fifty  cents  on  the 
dollar.  The  people  voted,  by  a  tremendous 
majority,!  to  pay  nothing  at  all. 

The  moral  responsibility  for  this  sort  of 
dishonesty  is  -so  widely  distributed  that  it 
does  I  not  seem  to  affect  anybody.  Prob- 
ably all  tho  voters  in  Miimesota  who  cast 
ballots  in  favor  of  repudiation  are  honest 
men  who  pay  their  debts.  WTiat  they  would 
do  if  the  law  compelling  them  to  pay  were 
as  lax  as  the  law  relating  to  State  obliga- 
tioiisy  wo  cannot  say.  But  it  is  not  unnat- 
ural to  suppose  that  the  tax-payers  of  Min- 
nesota who  voted  to  repudiate  tho  railroad 
bonds  at  a  rate  of  four  to  one  think  they 
have  done  a  good  stroke  of  business.  With 
most  men  it  is  not  a  crime  to  cheat  tho  Gov- 
orineiit.  By  a  parity  of  reasoning, 
it  is  not  a  crime  for  the  Government  to 
cheat.  Precisely  the  samo  thing  has  liap- 
pened  in  Arkansas,  where  tho  sharpers  who 
infest  the  Slate  have  brought  additional 
dishonor  upon  their  name.  The  Legislature 
plighted  the  faith  of  the  State  as  security 
for  the  purpose  of  borrowing  several  million 
dollars  for  railroad  building.  Bonds  were 
issued  in  accordance  with  this  act.  Every- 
thiua  was  legal,  fair,  ami  above  board.  The 
nioutj}-  borr(jwed  on  tho  bonds  was  duly  ex- 
pended. The  im])rovements  were  made,  and 
the  Siate  controlled  the  title  of  the  property. 
Kverythiiig  was  apparently  in  accordance 
with  I  law,  and  nobody  complained  of  the 
burden  of  the  debt. 

After  a  while,  a  made-up  case,  as  is  al- 
leged, took  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
State!  an  issue  involving  the  legality  of  these 
railroad  bonds.  The  court  decided  that  tho 
law  authorizing  the  issue  was  improperly 
enact|cd ;  consequently,  it  was  not  of  bind- 
ing force  and  effect,  and  the  bonds  were 
null  and  void.  It  seems  that,  under  the 
Consllitution  of  Arkansas,  the  bill  authoriz- 
ing the  issue  of  tho  bonds  should  have 
been  read  on  different  days  before  passage ; 
or,  in  default  of  such  readings,  the  rules 
should  have  been  suspended.  The  record 
showed  that  the  rules  were  not  suspendeil 
and  that  J  the  bill  was  read  several 
times  on  the  same  day,  in  House  and  in 
Senate.  Therefore,  though  the  bill  author- 
izing tho  borrowing  of  tho  inop£yand  the 
issnirg  of  the  bonds  pa.ssed  botltjlbranehes 
of  the  Legislature,  was  duly  enrolled,  signed 
by  the  Governor,  and  otherwise  treated  as  a 
law,  a  slight  irregularity  in  its  passage  nul- 
lifies the  whole.  Tho  law  is  invalid.  The 
bonds  are  not  worth  the  paper  on  which 
they  are  written.  The  State  of  Arkansas 
has  got  the  money,  or  the  improvements 
which  the  money  paid  for,  but  the  Stafe,  if 
we  can  imagine  such  an  impersonal  thing 
saying  anything,  sits  back  and  says  to  the 
bondholder,  "  BeaUy,  my  fine  fellow,  I  took 
your  money,  but  my  receipt  is  not  worth  a 
rush." 

It  dbes  not  add  to  the  enormity  of  this  of- 
fense that  the  legality  of  the  Arkansas 
bonds  has  never  before  been  called  in  ques- 
tion, and  that  the  interest  has  been  paid 
without  demur  up  to  this  time.  The  main 
fact  of  the  case  is  that  the  State  of  Arkan- 
sas has  acquired  several  nullion  dollars' 
worth  of  property,  and  has  repudiated  the 
only  obligation  ever  issued  as  an  acknowl- 
edgment or  zeeeipt.  1  Of  course,  it  is  alleged 
that  a  due  regard  for  the  solemnities  of  law, 
a  strict  observance  of  the  requirements  of 
the  CSbnstitntion,  &o.,  compel  the  people  of 
AAanaim  to  refuso  payment  of  debts  which 


thej  havQ  contracted.    It  was  the  fault  of

ton Ik  v^d  so  WppUy  called  "  fighting  by

powerful!  oft  the  two.  Midhat  Pasha,  with 
the  Sul^aui  for  his  client,  and  the  leading 
States  of  lip  rope!  for  his  jury,  is  at  this  mo- 
ment th6  iiost  prominent  figure  .  on  the 
Turkish  side  ;  and  upon  his  success  much 
more  than  !|cin  thit  of  Osman  Pasha  or  Me- 
HEMET  Api  does  the  fate  of  Turkey  depend. 
And,  cer|tainly,  it  would  be  hard  to  find  at 
this  moiileiiki,  in  the  barren  field  of  Turkish 
diplomapy ,  pi  man  better  fitted  for  the  ardu- 
ous and  &mpUeated  task  assigned  to

in  speecria4lma;iner,  personally  acquainted 
with  many  i(iading  English  and  Continental 
statesmen,  iiiid  possessing  an  understand- 
ing of  Western  habits  and  feelings  almost 
unique  among  his  countr\-men,  the  great 
Turkish]! lip ister! is  emphatically  a  man  for 
the  preseptt  risLsl  Made  Governor  of  Nissa, 
on  the  Setpian  border,  shortly  after  the 
Crimean  wai,  he!  distinguished  himself  by 
his  enei|W  in  establishing  order,  and  his 
impartiality  in  piini.shing  both  Christian  and 
Mussulman  crimihals.  His  keen  eye  quickly 
perceived  that  in  ^he  representations  made  by 
Russia  ti)  tlil^  Weiitem  powers,  personal  and 
local  quairelis  were  magnified  into  a  political 
question-i-a  mauiJeu%Te  which  he  strove,  not 
unsuccessfully,  t(|»  counteract.  His  govern- 
ment of  ithie  "  Dknube  Vilayet,"  formed  by 
the  uniojJ  Orthe  districts  of  Xissa,  Widdiu, 
and  SilistxiaJ  wasicut  short,  according  to  his

was  recijllet.  to  ! Constantinople  in  the  ca- 
pacity of  Pi'esidenti  of  the  Council  of  btate. 
The  history  pf  his  downfall  and  of  the  rise 
of  his  eueiiy,  Kedip  Pasha,  is  too  well 
known  to  need  repetition,  but  it  is  worthy 
of  reiuari  that  all  his  liberalism  has  not 
alienated   Itiis   fanatical   countrymen,  with 


the  moat  popular  of  native

Such  ill  'turkey's  "General  of  peace.' 
Her  new!  i(;hting  General  is  also  a  man  of 
mark,  thjujit  iu  a  mdely  different  way.  A 
German  £y|  birtli,  a  man  of  e.xperience  as

been  kepi  completely  in  the  background  by 
the  obsiui'b!  commands  assigned  him  iu

to  attemp>t,  Iwith  an  army  of  60,000  men 
au  iissaut  !upou  the  Russian  position  at 
Tiruova  shich  will  probably  decide  the  fate 
of  tlie  campaign,  he  rises  at  once  into  a 
leading  flguirij  in  the  great  tragedy.  That 
he  will  show  himself  a  better  soldier  than 
either  the  automaton  vVbdul  Kerim  or  the

But  ni  II,  in  ouo  form  or  another,  seems 
to  be  the  fnH"itable  doom  of  Turkey,  unless

pXXQEN  IN  THE  SUN. 
Most  of  oUr  readers  are  probably  more  or 
less  familSarmth  the  wonderful  chapter  in 
the  histbtryj  (f  science  which  records  tho 
achievements  of  the  spectroscope  in  bring-, 
ing  the  sun  ai  id  s^s  within  the  reach  of 
OUT  terreitriil  chemistry';  and  many  no 
doubt  reniipin  >er  the  remarkable  fact  that 
hitherto  only  meta,ls  (cotmting  hydrogen  as  a 
metal)  h^ye  |1  leen  detected  in  these  heavenly 
bodies.  Iron,:  lickel,  sodium,  magnesium,  and 
other  metals  by  the  score,  have  been  f  otmd 
both  in  the  son  and  stars  ;  on  the  other 
hand,  oxygen,  nitrogen, carbon,  silicon,  and 
o^AT    tiwi-wrtallin    elements,    if    reallr 


fii'Xtf 


present,  have  never  thus  far  been  brought 
to  light.  The  only  exception,  and  that 
very  doubtful,  is  in  the  case  of  sulphur, 
the  presence  of  which  in  the  chromosphere, 
or  uppe/  layer  of  the  solar  atmosphere, 
seems  to  have  been  rendered  fairly  probable 
by  the  observations  of  Prof.  YocfNQ  in  1872. 

Since  these  non-metallic  elements  are  so 
abundant  upon  the  earth,  constituting,  as 
far  as  we  can  judge,  by  far  the  larger  por- 
tion of  its  m.ws,  it  has  seemed  very  strange 
that  they  should  not  show  themselves  else- 
where, and  in  their  failure  to  appear  has 
been  found  by  some  a  strong  objection  to 
the  nebular  hypothesis.  To  account  for  their 
absence  Mr.  Lockyer  started  the  theory 
that  the  non-metals  are  not  really  element- 
ary bodies,  but  chemical  compounds,  which, 
by  the  intense  heat  prevailing  in  the  solar 
and  stellar  atmospheres,  are  split  up  into 
their  components  ;  and  this  theory,  though 
not  unopposed,  has  obtained  considerable 
currency  and  credence.  But  it  seems  that 
the  difficulty — at  least  as  re- f>rds  oxygen — is 
only  imaginary  after  all.  T  is  gas  has  at 
last  been  detected  in  the  su  .  and  that  by 
one  of  our  own  astronomers,  in  whom  New- 
York  takes  an  honorable  pride.  In  a  paper 
just  published  in  the  American  Journal  of 
Science  and  Arts,  Dr.  Henry  Draper,  of 
this  City,  announces  tho  discovery  by  means 
of  spectroscopic  photography  of  oxygen  in 
the  solar  atmosphere  ;  and  ho  brings  the 
evidence  to  the  eye  of  every  reader,  by 
printing  from  his  original  negatives  the 
juxtaposed  spectra  of  the  sun  and  of  the 
gas.  In  the  photograph  one  can  see  for 
himself  each  bright  lino  of  the  oxygen  spec- 
trum matched  and  prolonged  by  a  corre- 
sponding bright  lino  in  the  spectrum  of  the 
sun. 

While  the  metallic  elements  reveal  them- 
selves by  dark  lines  in  the  solar  spectrum, 
oxj'gen  shows  bright,  and  this  is  the  reason 
why  it  has  so  long  remained  concealed  ;  for 
these  bright  lines  or  bands  which  indicate 
its  presence  are  ineomipicuous  and  easily 
mistaken  for  mere  unoccupied  intervils.be- 
tween  the  multitudinous  dark  lines  which 
abound  in  the  portion  of  the  spectrum 
where  they  are  found.  The  attempt  has 
always  been  to  identify  some  of  the  dark 
lines  of  the  solar  spectrum  with  those  of  the 
element  in  question,  and  the  bright  bands 
escaped  investigation  until  Draper's  photo- 
graph brought  out  their  significance.  Why 
oxygen  should  behave  thus  differently  from 
the  other  substances  before  detected,  it  is 
not  yet  possible  to  say  with  certainty.  The 
most  natural  explanation,  strange  as  it  may 
seem  at  first,  is  that  its  very  abundance  has 
hidden  it.  A  gaseous  substance,  sparingly 
present  in  the  solar  atmosphere,  would  de- 
clare itself  by  faint  dark  lines  in  the  solar 
spectrum  ;  but  if  the  quantity  of  .the  gas 
should  be  gradually  and  continuously  in- 
creased, these  dark  lines,  after  growing  for 
a  time  more  intense,  would  then  bjj  degrees 
fade  away,  and  when  the  quantity  of  the 
gas  had  become  sufficiently  great,  would  be 
replaced  by  bright  ones.  But  on  this  hypo- 
thesis it  is  very  difficult  to  understand,  why 
oxygen  is  not  conspicuous  in  the  chromo- 
sphere ;  like  the  substance  which  gives  the 
so-called  D^  line,  brilliant  in  the 
cliromosphere  spectrum,  but  in\-isible 
(usually)  in  the  spectrum  of  the  sun's 
surface.  Probably  the  full  explanation  lies 
somewhat  deeper. 

The  research  which  has  terminated  in 
this  interesting  and  brilliant  discovery  was 
begun  by  Dr.  Draper  some  four  years  ago, 
and  its  successful  termination  is  a  triumph 
over  difficulties  which  only  resources  like 
his  could  have  overcome.  To  ebtain  a 
satisfactory  photograph  of  a  gas  spectrum 
it  is  necessary  to  keep' up  a  steady  stream 
of  intense  electric  sparks,  sometimes  for 
hours  together.  To  accomplish  this  all 
the  newest  and  most  powerful  appliances 
of  modern  science  have  been  pressed  into 
the  service.  The  sparks  were  produced  by 
a  so-called  "  induction  coil  "  of  the  largest 
size,  and  this  was  actuated  not  by  a  gal- 
vanic battery  as  usual,  but  by  a  Gramme 
magneto-electric  machine,  similar  to  those 
iised  for  light-house  illumination,  though 
slightly  modified  to  adapt  it  to  the  purpose. 
This  machine  was  driven  by  a  small  petro- 
leum engine,  of  about  two  horse-power, 
which  was  found  far  superior  to  any  steam- 
engine  in  the  steadiness,  economy,  and 
convenience  of  its  operation.  Wj^h  this 
apparatus  the  experimenter  could  produce 
for  any  length  of  time  desired  a  torrent  of 
intense  electric  fire,  each  of  the  component 
sparks  ten  inches  long,  and  succeeding 
each  other  nearly  twenty  in  a  second  ; 
and  it  was  thus  that  he  succeeded  in  ob- 
taining a  gas  spectrum  of  sufficient  bril- 
liane  to  bear  photographing  alongside 
that  of  th  e  sun  itself.  It  is  to  be 
hoped  that  tliis  discovery  is  only  a  kind  of 
first  fruit  of  the  new  method  of  research, 
and  that  its  further  prosecution  will  bring 
in  au  abundant  harvest.

SEA-SICKXESS. 

Tho  cause  of  that  distressing  disease  called 
sea-sickness  has  for  ages  been  vainlj-  sought 
by  investigating  physicians.  Theories  with- 
out number  have  been  published  in  medical 
magazines,  but  not  one  of  them  has  stood 
the  test  of  careful  examination.  It  has  been 
claimed  that  sea-sickness  is  a  modem  dis- 
ease, with  which'  the  ancients  were  wholly 
unacquainted,  and  in  proof  of  this  we  have 
been  referred  to  the  curious  fact  that  when 
the  Romans  undertook  a  naval  expedition, 
they  filled  their  g.iUej's  with  soldiers  who 
straightway  put  to  sea  and  defeated  the  ene- 
my, without  the  slightest  preliminary  exercise 
in  the  use  of  the  basin.  We  all  know  that  a 
modem  fleet  manned  exclusively  with  lands- 
men would  bo  totally  unfit  for  fighting  dur- 
ing the  first  three  days  after  leaving  port, 
and  hence  it  does  seem  difficult  to  believe 
that  sea-sick  Romans  could  give  their  whole 
attention  to  fighting.  Still  the  Romans 
were  an  ]f  xeeptional  people,  and  it  is  not 
impossible  that  the  indomitable  courage 
which  forbade  the  legionaries  to  turn  their 
backs  to  an  enemy  on  land  enabled  tliem  to 
keep  their  stomachs  from  tm-ning  in  the 
presence  of  a  naval  foe. 

Whether  sea-sickness  is  an  ancient  or  a. 
modem  disease,  it  is  certainly  extremely 
frequent  at  tho  present  day.  The  theory 
that  it  is  caused  by  the  smell  of  bilge- water 
has  been  exploded  since  the  introduction  of 
iron  ships,  which  are  so  tight  as  to  be  wholly 
devoid  of  bilge-water.  One  of  the  .most 
popular  explanations  of  the  disease/which 
have  latterly  been  made  by  ingenious  phy- 
sicians is  that  it  iS|^ie,  expression  of  the 
mind's  dissatisfactioilwith  an  apparent  dis- 
play of  indecent  le'^tty  on  t^  part  of  the 
horizon.    A  man  whoso  life/baa  been  spent 


/, 


on  <  shore  c  is  ^  aocnstomed  to  And  the 
horizon  constantly  in  the  same  plane,  and 
thus  comes  to  put  complete  confidence  in 
its  stability.  When,  howtve  ,  he  makes 
his  fii-st  a^-voyage,  and  fii;ds  the  horizon 
constantly  rising  up  and  then  falling  back 
ag^n,  as  if  it  no  longer  knew  its  own  mind, 
he  is  so  startled  and  shocked  that  he  imme- 
dialSily  expresses  over  ytte  side  of  the  .ship 
his  conviction  that  something  is  wrong. 
Now,  it  is  very  true  that  the  apparent  insta- 
bility of  the  horizon  may  seem  nndesirable 
to  a  landsman  on  his  first  voyage  ;  but  why 
should  he  require  his  stomach  to  meddle  in 
the  affair  1  Were  we  to  wake  up  some 
morning  and  find  the  streets  of  New- 
York  absolutely  clean  it  would  imdoubtedly 
startle  us,  and  we  should  recognize  it  as 
something  totally  at  variance  with  our  ex- 
perience ;  but  we  certainly  should  not  turn 
pale  and  become  a  prey  to  nausea.  In- 
stances "have  been  known  of  the  public 
signing  of  the  total  abstinence  pleilge  by 
confirmed  Western  Democratic  statesmen, 
but  the  public  has  borne  the  shock  without 
any  abdominal  convulsions.  The  truth  is, 
nausea  does  not  ordinarily  follow  upon  any 
shock  to  our  prejudices,  and  .we  cannot  ac- 
count for  sea-sickness  by  calling  it  an  in- 
voluntary protest  against  an  apparently 
intoxicated  horizon. 

Equally  untenable  is  the  theory  that  the 
motion  of  a  vessel  at  sea  jostles  the  internal 
orgams  of  the  inexperienced  passenger  one 
against  another  until  his  whole  interior  is 
ripe  for  revolution.  Against  this  theory  may 
be  urged  the  anatomical  fact  that  our  in- 
teriors are  packed  with  a  nicety  unknown  to 
the  ablest  stevedore.  A  simple  experiment 
will  prove  the  truth  of  this  asser- 
tion. _  Let  any  man  unpack  himself 
by  removing  a  ,  few  of  his  most 
accessible  organs,  and  he  will  find  that  not 
even  with  the  aid  of  an  able  physician  can 
he  repack  them  in  the  same  space  which 
they  originally  oecilpied.  Moreover,  even 
conceding  that  the  motion  of  a  ship  is  ca- 
pable of  causing  the  stomach,  liver,  and 
lungs  to  chafe  against  one  another,  it  is, 
nevertheless,  plain  that  those  organs  must 
be  still  more  severely  jiiU®'^  when  their  pro- 
prietor rides  over  a  rough  railroad  or  in  a 
Broadway  stage.  If  nausea  results  in 
the  one  case  it  ought  to  result  in  the  other 
ease,  and  yet  we  never  become  sea-sick  on 
dry  land.  The  closer  this  theory  is  exam- 
ined the  less  tenable  does  it  appear.  Were 
it  true,  sea-sickness  could  readily  be 
prevented  by  drinking  sufficient  water  to  fill 
up  all  the  interstices  of  the  body,  so  that  no 
organ  could  get  adrift  and  infringe  upon 
its  neighbor.  That  this  remedy  has  never 
been  of  the  slightest  use  is  proof  that  it  is 
based  upon  a  mistaken  diagnosis. 

Still  another  explanation  of  sea-sickness 
places  its  immediate  origin  in  the  spinal 
cord.  The  advocates  of  this  theory  assert 
that  the  rising  and  sinking  of  a  ship  alter- 
nately relaxes  and  stretches  the  spinal  cord 
of  every  one  on  board  her,  and  that  the 
spinal  cord,  being  closely  connected  by 
nerves  with  the  stomach,  excites  that  organ's 
sympathy  in  its  behalf.  The  remedy  pro- 
posed is  not  to  coldly  reprove  the  stomach 
for  its  very  natural  sjrmpaihy,  but  to  induce 
the  spinal  cord  to  forget  its  misery.  This,  we 
are  told,  can  be  done  by  the  use  of  ice.  Bags 
of  pounded  ice  must  be  applied  to  the  spine 
of  the  sea-sick  patient,  and  the  spinal  cord 
thus  chilled  until  it  becomes  too  numb  to 
care  whether  it  is  stretched  or  relaxed.  It 
is  said  that  a  number  of  patients  have  been 
entirely  cured  by  this  wmedy,  and  that 
every  traveler  who  will  consent  to  cross  tho 
ocean  in  a  refrigerator — as  if  he  were  so 
much  fresh  meat  or  vegetables — can  secure 
entire  immunity  from  sea-sickness. 

It  is  hardly  worth  while  to  point  out  the 
weakness  of  this  theory.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  a  man  can  be  cured  of  sea-siekness  by 
freezing  him  to  death  ;  but  to  assume  that 
his  spinal  cord  has  anything  more  to  do  with 
sea-sickness  than  has  his  hat-band  is  to 
make  a  purely  unwaiTanted  assumption. 
What  evidence  is  there  that  the  spinal  cord 
is  stretched  T  None  whatever.  The  stomach 
of  a  sea-sick  man  is  in  open,  undisguised  in- 
surrection, but  his  spinal  cord  never  shows 
the  least  interest  in  the  affair,  and  main- 
tains a  strict  neutrality.  This  attempt  to 
cast  odium  upon  one  of  the  modest  and  re- 
tiring parts  of  the  human  body  is  indelicate 
and  unfair,  and  should  be  frowned  down  by 
every  unprejudiced  man. 

But  we  have  at  last  an  entirely  iiew 
theory,  which  explains  sea-sickness  in  au 
intelligent  way.  The  chief  symptoms  of 
the  disease  are  headache,  nausea,  lassitude, 
loss  of  spirits,  and  coldues^of  the  extremi- 
ties. These  also  are  precisely  the  symptoms 
which  indicate  malarial  poisoning.  Let  us 
suppose  that  there  is  a  poisonous  quality  in 
sea  air,  and  we  shall  then  readily  compre- 
hend the  true  nature  of  sea-siekness.  If  we 
further  suppose  that  the  system  really  be- 
comes acclimated,  so  to  speakj  and  loses  its 
susceptibility  to  this  poison,  we  shall  under- 
stand why  persons  who  are  much  at  sea 
cease  to  be  sea-sick.  That  the  atmosphere, 
in  pursuance  of  its  daily  tAsk  of  evaporating 
sea  water,  should  take  up  one  or  more  of 
those  ingredients  which  render  sea  water  an 
emetic  when  drank  iu  any  quantity  is  not 
at  all  improbable.  Thus,  by  merely  making 
a  -few  easy  suppositions,  wo  have  a  new, 
plausible,  and  really  scientific  theory  of  sea- 
sickness.

RAMCEL   WARBEN',  D.  C.  L. 

Mr.  Samuel  VTarren.  whose  death  we  record 
to-dliy,  was  one  of  those  men  whose  fate  it  is  to  out- 
live ihoir  reputation.  He  <'Uir'.it  to  have  died  wlien 
Ten  Thousand  a  Year  had  taken  the  town  l.y  storm. 
The  kinsman  of  au  eminent  physician,  he  lirst  at- 
tracled  notice  by  the  Diary  of  a  Late  Phyinciaii.. 
which  was  believed  to  be  inspired  by  notes  left  b> 
his  relative,  a  royal-  physician,  of  c^es  which  had 
come  under  his  notice.  The  stories  were  as  harrow- 
ing in  character  as  those  ivith  which  Mrs.  Pipchin 
regaled  Paul  Dombev  and  her  other  pupils — 
madness,  suicide,  or  delirium  trvmei^  being  ^ 
the  mildest  culrain.ition ;  but  at  the  same 
time  tl:ere  was  a  remarkable  realism  about  them,  and 
few  people  rose  from  their  peru-s-'il  without  Ihe  feel- 
im:  that  they  were  foun-le*!  on  fa<'t.  Ten  Thousand  a 
Year  wa-s  a  Vastly  superior  production,  and  was  real- 
ly a  thing  which  deserved,  mon^  especiiilly  for  fe- 
licity of  conception  and  accuiate  description  of  cer- 
tain'classefi.  ver^-  high  rank.  Tlie  whole  tale  turns 
uiion  an  ejectment  case  brought  by  Tittlebat  Tit- 
mouse, a  dry  goods  clerk  the  very  perfection  of  a 
little  L<mdon  '  "cad."  against  Mr.  Aubrey,  a  gentle- 
man of  hich  ciiaracter  and  ancient  family. 
Tile  strongest  points  of  the  work  are  the  sketclies  of 
letial  character.  Quirk.  Lraininon  &  ^Snap — whose 
puppet  Titmouse  is— .ire  a  far  superior  study  to  Dud- 
son  ,fc  Fogg,  or  even  Mr.  Tulkiiiizhom.  and  in  "  the 
professioiu"  their  portrait  tiSciu-d  unparalleled  in- 
terest, w-hile  the  whole  story  was  read  throughout 
England  with  nil  avidity  which  up  to  that  time  only 
the  novels  of  .Scott  anil  Dickens  had  excited.  But 
Mr.  Warren  culminated  in  that  work,  and  thence 
forward  e\-iiiced  a  steady  decadence.  Sun 
and  Then  was.  although  interesting,  a  very 
inferior  production,  and  The  Lily  and  the 
Bve  was  ver\'  poor.  Mr.  Warren's  conceit  w-aa 
a  subje«'t  of  cnronic  amusement  among  his  friends. 
lYobably, with  the  exception  of  "Satan"  Montgoni- 
erj*.  whom  Macaulay  so  ruthlessly  demolished,  there 
never  was  a  man  «■>  jK'rfectly  satisfied  with  himself 
and  his  own  performances  as  Samuel  Warren. 
Twenty  years  ago  the  Bar  rang  with  stories  about 
him.  At  the  time  Ten  Ttiousand  a  Tear  was  appear- 
ing in  Blaekwood't  it  was  Mr.  Warren's  habit  to  take 
friends  aside,  and  assuming  a  coufijential  tone,  in- 
quire if  they  had  seen  a  work  "  of  that  name."  "Kat- 
urally  the  answer  was  tliat  they  had.  *"  Now.  I  should 
like  {u  know  your  opinion  of  it ;  I've  a  ajus^ial  reason 
for  asking."  was  the  rejoinder.  Niueleen  tiyies  out 
of  twenty  a  handsome  tribute  was  paid  the  merits 
of  the  'work,  w-hen  Warren  would  smile  con- 
sciously, wring  his  companion's  hand,  audsay,  "Now, 
promise,  promis*..  not  a'  word,  not  a  word  to  a  living 
soul— I  wrote  it !  "  liy  degn--e8  the  whole  circuit  bo- 
came  conSdentially  informed  under  solemn  promise 
of  secrecy  of  the  author-ship.  and  at  length  a  l»ert, 
droll  yipuug  barrister  cameup  to  Warren  one  day 
and  'said.  "  Mr-  Warren  have  you  read  Ten 
Thousand  a  Teir  f  "  •■■  Well,  yes,"  said  Warren.  "  I 
mnst  confess  I  have,  though  1  seldom  read  ncUon." 
•Well,  nhttdoyou  think  of  it  t"  Warren  made 
what  helhonglit'a  prwjK'r  r*-plvand  then  the  yotuu 
barrister,-  dropping  his  voice,  F.iid,  "Well.  I 
had  a  sperial  rea.soii.  my  dear  Sir,  foi 
asking  voii.  for — not  a  word,  not  ■ 
word,  I  Ix-g  you.  to  anybody — I  wrote  it." 
"The  storj-  is  yet  told  in  Oxf or«l  how  "  Satan  ''  Mont- 
Komer>-  Went"  to  the  porter  of  Ester  College,  some 
•20  vears  after  he  ha«l  gnuluated,  and  said,  "  Show 
me  iK»ntg«3liierj-'s  IMonis !"  "  Montgomery,  Sir,  we 
don't  got  no  genllemeiiof  the  nanie  up  here."  was 
the  reply.  "1  mean,"  exclaimed  the  famous  pi»et,  ' 
"tho  ntiims  formerly  occupied  by  Mr.  .Montgomery 
the  p«H-t."  Uut  strange  to  s.-iy,  although  the 
]iorter  at  Pembroke  can  show'  'you  Joliuson's

ter porter  knew  nothuig  of  tliose  ,which 
once  echoed  the  footsteps  of  Moiitgomerr.  Warren 
had  a  siniilnr  conceit.  A  lady  met  him  one  .August 
day  in  the  train  ttoing  westw-ard.  ''^  We-'ve  taken  a  V 
hou-se  in  Dorsetshire."  he  saiil,  "Imt  T  w-rote  to  the 
agent.  '  Now  for  heaven's  sake  don't  l>*t  tbem  knoif" 
who  is  coming.'  or  we  shall  Ite  moblied;  positively 
mobbed.'  "  \\'hen  he  was  appoiutei)  a  Suiater  in 
Lunacy  he  made  a  farewell  siteecli  in  the  House  of 
Commons,  and  it  was  said  was  deelily  tiisappoluted 
that  it  did  not  evoke  some  such  an  exi>resaio_n  of 
regret  from  the  Houi,e  as  might  Have  been  expected 
on  the  retirement  of  ouo  or  its  foremost,  leaders. 
l*robably  this  bit  of  wmceit  made  him  very  happy, 
whilt;  it  certainly  did  not  hurt  others.  He  goes  down 
to  his  grave  regretted  and  loved  by  a  large  circle,  and 
will  be  long  remembered  as  tho  .'lulhor  of  the  most  . 
famous  legal  novel  ever  produced  iu  England. 

Mr.  Warren  was  the  eides-t  son  of  tbe^ate  Rev.  Dj.  • 
Warren,  and  was  bom-  in  Denb'ighshire  in  1807, 
being  therefore  at  the  time  of  his  death  70  years  of 
age.  He  was  educated  at ,  the  I'niversity  of  Edin- 
burgh, and  intended  t<»  follow  the  me^iical  pmfeasion,  ' 
but  he  clianged  bisviews.  and  devoted  himself  to  tlu 
study  of  the  law.  He  was  cidleri  to  the  Bar  at  the 
Inne'r  Temple  iu  1837.  and  was  made  Queen's  Coun-

AMUSEMENTS, 


FIFTH-AVEVrE  THEATRE. 
The  repre-sesntation  of  the  play  called  "  Ah 
Sin  "  at  the  Fifth-Avenue  Theatre  yesterday  even- 
ing afforded  fre<iuent  gratification  to  a  very  large 
audience.  The  fiict  that  a  good  many  spectators  grew 
perceptibly  weary  as  the  performance  approached 
an  end,  and  the  still  more  significant  fact  that  the 
andlence  left  tbie  house  without  making  the  slightest 
demonstration  of  pleastire  when  the  curtain  fell 
upon  the  last  scene,  may  Imply  that  tlie 
jiiece,  as  a  whole,  is  scarcely  likely  to  se- 
cuae  a  really  strong  bold  upon  the  favor  of 
the  public  But  it  is  certain  that  there  was  much 
laughter  and  applause  heard  as  "  Ah.  Sin  "  pro- 
gressed, aud  the  causes  of  the  merriment  and  plaudits 
appeared  stiiHciently  numerous  to  give  some  vitality 
to  the  composition  of  which  they  are  the  principal 
element.  It  need  hardly  be  said  that  3Ieasrs.  Bret 
Harte  and  Ma(rk  Twain's  play  is  by  no  means  a 
very  dramatic  or  sj-mmetrical  work.  Humorists, 
rnmni-.ce-writers,'  and  ^>oets  are  never  bom  and 
seldom  become  dramatists,  aud  both  authors 
of  "  Ah  Sin  "  are  now  trying  their  'prentice  hand  in 
seeking  fame  aud  fortune  through  the  medium  of 
the  stage.  "  Ah  Sin."  however,  is  not  so  bad  a  piece 
an  mi^ht  hnye  been  anticipated.  It  has  a 
plot.  well-worn  and  transparent  though  it 
is  at  once  discovered  to  be,  and  hpuce 
there  is  a  reason  for  almost  evtry  liing  said  or  done 
tluriiiii  the  disentanglement  of  the  narrative. '  Its 
Weakness  lies  tu  a  paucity  of  striking  events,  in 
an  almost  invariable  disregard  of  the  absolute  neces- 
sity of  providing  a  strong  tableau  at  the 
close  of  each  act,  and  in  a  sux>erabundance 
of  di-alogue.  mainly  coarse,  and  often  inexcusably  so, 
because  it  has  not  the  excuse  of  being  characteristic. 
Its  merit  is  to  be  sought,  firstly,  in  the 
somewhat  novel  personage  who  bestows  his 
name  upon  the  drama :  secondly,  as  mentioned 
nbtive,  in  its  ;  rather  unexpe<*ted  coherence,  and, 
lastly,  in  the  strange  atmosphere  into  which  It  trans- 
ports the  listener.  Most  of  tlie  churactera  do  not  in- 
deed differ  iu  any  essential  traits  from  the  everj'-day 
heroes  and  heroines  of  melodrama,  but  their  language, 
their  attire,  and  their  surroundings  breathe  an  air  of 
freshnes-s  over  the  picture.  M.  Dennery  might 
turn  tliem  into  Frenchmen.  Mr.  BouciC3U.lt 
Into  Irishmen,  and  Sir.  Paly  into  Massa- 
chusetts saints  aud  sinners,  but  the  charm 
of  local  color  is  of  great  w.'i^ht  in  dealing  with 
Messrs.  Harte  and  Twain's  jomt  production.  And 
the  charaeter  of  Aft  Sin  has  uuijuestionably  origi- 
nality and  ncwiiess.  The  t,vpical  Chinamau,  |who 
acts.  too.  as  a  sort  of  d^iw  e-z  niachiaa,  presents  a 
variety  of  phases  of  Chinese  humor,  cleverness. 
and  amushi'^  rascality.  His  comical  naientc. 
his  propensity  to  beg  and  steal,  his 
far-seeing  poHi-y.  tiranks  to  which  a  happy 
denouement  of  this  particular  story  is  btt^uglit 
about,  are  happily  illustrated.  Nattirally  enough 
Jft  *'tn  finally  becomes  a  little  monotouous;  there 
U,  however,  so  much  idle  gabble  in  the  drama  that 
his  appearance  is  usually  welcome.  Of  the  serious 
busiuess  iutru.-'ted  to  the  other  personages  there 
U.  as  we  have  said,  more  than  a  suffirteucy.  We 
shall,  therefore,  not  waste  much  space  upon  the  story 
of  "Ah  Sin."  It  turns  upon  the  rascality  of  one 
BroiU^rick,  who  all  but  murders  BiU  Plunkftt— 
"  the  champion  liar  of  Calaveras " — and  then 
accuses  YvrK'.  a  "  i^'n''lemau  miner."  of 
the  crime.  Just  as  a  committee  of  IjTichers  are 
about  to  act  upon  a  verdict  of  guilty.  Aft  Sin  fastens 
the  guilt  of  the  deed  upon  Brmtrrick  by  the  exliihition 
uf  the  murderer's  coat,  which  Broderick  thought 
he  had  long  since  dune  away  with. 
and  Plunkett  being  subsetjuently  brought 
iuio  court  safe  aud  sound,  the  piece  terminates 
happily.  If  Messrs.  Harte  and  Twain  had  han- 
dled all  thoir  material  as  deftly  as  in 
the  first  act,  ■*  '*  Ah  Sin "  would  have  been 
a  very  praiseworthy  effort.  Althooch  the 
longest  of  the  four  divisions  of  the  play,  the  first 
awakens  intere<^t  and  close*  wtlh  aa  ingenious  sur- 
prise. The  svoond  a<n,  cont* Uidiug  with  aa  attempt 
to  arrest  AA  .Sin  on  a  cliarge  of  m.urder.  ■  and 
with  the  flight  of  the  "  vtirilautes."  who  are  routed 
by  Aft  A'm  expectorating  water  ufnan  them  as  though 
he  were  dampening  linen  in  the  <,'hinese  faHliioin,  Ls 
tedious,  aud  the  third  drags  sadly.  The  \ici33itudes 
of  a  trial  b'TLire  a  "iKtrder  jury "  enliveu  the 
fourth  act.  wlii'-h  would  round  off  the  piece  verj" 
neatly  if  something  besides  .i  scene  of  extravagant  joy 
worthy  a  burlesque  prefaced  the  fall  of  the  curtaiu. 
"Ah  Sin "  was  capitaJly  acted,  last  niglit.  and  ad- 
mirably placed  upon  the  stnze.  Mr.  Parsloe's 
Chinaman  could  scarcely  be  excelled  in  truthfulness 
to  nature  and  freedom  fri>m  carii'^ture.  Mr.  P.  A. 
Anderson  pictured  with  marked  force  and 
freedom  from  conventionality  Bill  Flunkftt. 
Mr.  Davidge,  as  the  "chief  of  the  Vigi- 
lantes." disUngnished  himxelf'  espevially  in 
tho  trial  scene,  and  the  remaining  male  rules  found 
suitable  interjirelers  in  ilessrs.  Crisp.  CoiUur. 
Weaver,  Varrey,  and  Viniug  Bowers.  Among  the 
softer  sex  Mrs.  Gilbert  bore  off  the  honors.  In  a 
new  rival  of  Mrii.  Malaprup — Mrs,  Plunkett 
by  name.  5Iueh  of  the  langua^  put  into  Mfit. 
/'mnit«rt'a  mouth  is  far  from  relinfJ,  bat  somp  of  it 
is  funny,  though  the  character  aud  her  peculiarities 
are  become  well-nigh  threadbare.  A  still  more 
offensive  tj'pe  of  femininity — Carolina  Ana^tOiria 
Plunkett — was  represented  by  Miss  Edith  Blande 
ivjth  becoming  masculinity.  MLss  Dora  Goldthwaite 
endowed -S/iirf<'>/  Tempest  with  apj^ropriate  personal 
charms,  and  finally,  Jliss  Mary  Wells  did  all  that 
could  be  done  with  Mrs.  Tempent.  After 
the  third  a*'t.  Mr.  Clemens  stepped  before  the 
footlights,  and  df-'livered  an  wldress  in  his  familiar 
Vein,  but  with  less  than  his  wonted  felicity  of  style 
and  more  than  his  wouted  drawl.  "  Ah  Sin"  is'to  be 
repeated  at  the  Fifth- Avenue  Theatre  every  evening 

until  further  notice.

The  Parisian  Folies-Dramatiques  have  revived 
"Lea  Mysien^s  de  I'Ete,"  by  MM.  Lambert.  Tlii-

at  the  Varietes  in  1853.  and  the  principal  interpre- 
ters of  which  were  Leoiere.  Lassagne,  Mmes.  Bdis- 
gontier  and  Alii  Ozv,  has  !*ince  served  as  a  model  to 
all  the  works  of  the  kind  which  ha%'e  appeared  at  the

M.  Usiglio,  whom  M.  L<;on  Escudier  has  just 
appointed  conductor  of  the  orchestra  at  th«  Paris

principal  sta<;o»i  of  y.  lie  is  the  author  of  several 
operas,  and  jiarti'-u...i-ly  of  a  work  in  three  acts,  tho 
"  Educande  di  Sorrento."  which  contains  some  vtry 
melodious  aira.  That  pi'?r«'  has  been  played  at  all 
the  Italian  theatres,  and  w.»»>  performed  at  Naples 
more  than  a  hontlred  times. 

M.  Halauzier.  of  the  Paris  Grand-Op^ra.  has 
had  the  good  fortune  to  receive  a  copy  of  the  *  Reine 
de  Chn>re."  annotated  by  Haliavj-  himself,  and  who  iu 
it  indicates  not  only  the  movements  and  the  parts 
which  might  be  omitted  in  the  performance,  but, also 
nutrks  certain  variations  introduced  by  himself  in  the 
original  text  of  his  partition.  The  owner  of  this  cu- 
riosity graciously  placed  it  at  the  disposal  of  the  di- 
rector of  the  <jraad-Opera  on  learning  that  the  work 
was  about  to  bo  revived.  It  need  scarcely  be  said 
that  the  offer  was  most  gratefully  accepted. 
J^The  immense  cost  at  which  *'  Roi  de  Lahore  " 
wa^  put  on  the  stage  is  well  known,  and  the  fact  Is 
certain  that  for  a  long  time  past  such  a  display  of 
scenic  magnificence  had  not  been  witnessed  in  any 
work.  Such  prodigality  is  not,  however,  rare  at  the 
Paris  Opera,  and  has  not  been  confined  to  tho  direc- 
tion of  M.  Halanzier,  or  to  the  present  century,  i  The 
ballet  of  the  "Tom:  Enchaniee,"  played  at  Versailles 
by  the  opera  company,  cost  250,000  frAucs, 
and  723  costumes  of  the  greatest^  magnificence 
had  to  be  executed  for  it.  In  1773,  the  scenery 
and  dresijes  of  "  Bellerophon  "  cost  the  m'odast  sum 
of  35O.00O  francs.  Cnder  the  Empire,  a  diminu- 
tion of  such  extravagance  set  iu,  as  the  outlay  for 
^e  "Triomphe  de  Trajan  "  was  only  170,000  francs 
and  for  '*  Aladin  oulaLampeMerveiUeuse."  183,260 
francs.  More  recently  there  was  a  farther  decrease 
in  the  outliy,  as  '*  Dcm  Carlos  "  cost  merely  124,288 
francsu  "Hamlet,"  1©0,893  francs,  and  •' Fatist,"

how  many  times  an  actor,  eng^ed  for  the  year,  and 
paid  monthly,  performs  during  the  twelvemonth. 
That  idea  was  suggested  to  us  on  seeing  several  jour- 
nals attribute  to  the  extreme  fatigue  of  his  labors 
the  late  indisposition  of  M.  CJeoffroy,  who  has,  how- 
ever, resumed  his  duties.  Weaskea  the  particulaTs 
from  the  management  of  the  Palais-Royal,  and  this 
is  what  we  learned :  From  the  Ist  of  April,  1876, 
to  the  31st  of  March,  1877,  Geoffroy  played  242 
times;  Lh6ritier,  (the  senior  of  the  theatre,)  277: 
Luguet,  294  ;  Brasseur,  159  ;  Gil-P6r6s,  194  ;  and 
Mftgnier,  103.  So  that  the  actor  most  occupied  had 
three  months'  hoUday,  aud  Geoffroy,  already  re- 
ferred to.  reposed  four  months,  that  is  to  say,  the 
third  of  the  year,  all  the  time  receiving  his  salary."

delegates  to  tjlie  Republican  Central  Committee  hold- 
ing office  nni^r  the  National  Government,  took  place 
laijt  evening,  and  passed  off  quietly.  The  President 
of  the  association.  Mr.  Henry  G.  Leask.  in  view  of  the 
disorderlj-proceediugs  at  the  meeting  on  Monday  idght, 
was  apprehensive  of  trouble  last  night,  and  sectired 
the  attendance  of  a  body  of  PoUce  at  the  head- 
quarters, -  No.  352  West  Thirty-fifth-street,  where 
the  election  took  place,  but  they  had  nothing  to  do 
during  the  eyening.  Two  sets  of  candidates  were 
voted  for;  The  ticket  favored  by  Mr.  Leask  was  as 
follows :  Fotr  First  Vice-President,  A.  V.  Canfield  ; 
For  Secretary,  Berrian  Keyser  ;  For  Inspectors  of 
Election,  George  Herman,  William  McCoy ;  Dele- 
gates to  Central  Committee,  Joseph  A.  Sterling,  Dr. 
H.-D.  Rauney,  Dr,  J.  A.  "Williams,  Moses  Goodkind, 
Oscar  A.  FuJJer. 

The  ticket  of  the  opposition  was  as  follows :  For 
President,  William  M.  Montgomerj- ;  for  First  Vice- 
President,  John  Heer ;  for  Secretary,  John  M. 
Fislier  :  for '  Inspectors  of  Election,  Jacob  Powles,

Christian  F.  Tietjen,  William  Burtis,  Robert  Miller, 
Joseph  Kenworthy,  Henry  Bradley. 

Nooody  was  allowed  to  vote  whose  name  did  not 
appear  upon  the  roll  of  the  association,  and  a  num-. 
ber  of  persons  who  belonged  to  other  so-called  ReA, 
publican  organizations  in  the  district  were  denied 
the  pri\ileget  When  the  polls  were  declared  elosed 
3Ir.  Robert  Miller  entered  a  protest  against  the 
electiohj  declaring  that  it  was  conducted  illegally. 
Men.  he  said,  had  been  prevented  from  voting  who 
were  justly  entitled  to  exercise  that  right  On  tho 
counting  of  the  votes  it  was  found  that  the 
ticket  headed  by  Mr.  Canfield  for  Vice-President  had 
received  159  votes,  and  that  beaded  by  Mr.  Mont- 
gomery forj  President  23.  Three  cheers  were 
given  for  ,  Mr.  Leask.  and  the  crowd 
dispersed-  I  Meanwhile,  an  Irregular  primarv 
election  was  hehl  by  the  opponents  of  Mr. 
Leask  at  Wagner's  Hall,  in  Thirty- sixth-street,  near

nounced that  103  votes  had  been  polled,  the  ticket 
headed  by  Mr.  Canfield  receiving  h  votes,  and  that 
headed  by  Mr.  51ontgomery  receiving  158.  The 
Montgomery  party,  of  which  as  statwl  yesterday 
William  N.  Murray.  John  M  Fisher,  and  Micliael

CELEBSATtoy  AT  OVEAX  GROVE. 
The  eighth  anniversary  of  the  organization 
of  Ocean  Grove  was  oelebratod  yesterday  afternoon, 
fully  5,000  persons  taking  part  in  the  exercises.  An 
interesting  feature  of  the  occasion  was  the  presence  of 
l.tHX)  children.  The  exercises  opened  with  the 
hymn.  "  Prom  all  that  dwells  oelow  the  skies."  led 
by  Prof.  Willisford  Dey.  After  prayer  by  Rev." Dr. 
Hughes,  President  Stokes  made  a  few  remarks. 
He  alluded  to  the  first  meeting  held  in  the  grove, 
t:ight  years  ago.  About  a  dozen  persons  were  pres- 
ent, aud  they  gathered  together  in  a  little  tent  at 
the  foot  of  Pilgrims'  Pathway,  where  they  dedicated 
the  place  to  G'id,  and  selected  it  for  the  future 
Christian  sea-side  Summer  home.  Rev.  Joseph  H. 
Thomley  then  r^ad  the  3.5th  chapter  of  Isaiah,  and 
was  followed  by  siuging,  "  Jesu-s  shall  reign." 
Mr.  G.  W.  K.  McPherson,  of  Trenton,  made  a  brief 
address  on  "  The  .Advancement  of  Civilization. 
Christianity,  and  Manhood."  The  Lake  Side  Choral 
Double  Quartet  Club  joined  in  singing  "All  To- 
gether,"  and  the  little  blind  boy,  Charley  Hall, 
sang  "  The;  Light  of  the  World,"  which  was  received 
with  applause.  Kev.  E.  S.  Homer  then  spoke  tak- 
ing for  his  subject  "Hard  Times  and  How  to  Meet 
them."  The  Quartet  Club  followed  with  "  Our 
Grandfather's  Clock  ;"  Master  Cliarles  Vaughan,  of 
Philodelpiua  played  a  solo  on  the  comet,  and  the 
choir  sang  "lit  is  Well  With  My  Sotd." 
The  whole  assemblage  then  fell  into  line, 
;(oFming  a  vast  procession,  and  marched  around 
the  grove,  each  bearing  an  American  flag.  On  reach- 
ing the  pavillion,  at  the  head  of  Ocean  Pathway,  they 
halted,  and  the  nnveiliug  of  a  large  and  handsome 
vase  filled  with  benutifuJ  fiowers  took  place,  which 
was  dedicated  to  the  pioneer  women  of  Oceau  Grove. 
Speeches  were  made  bv  President  .Stokes,  Vice-Presi- 
deut  A.  S.  Ballard,  Secretar\'  G.  W.  Evans.  Superin- 
tendent H.  B.  Beegle,  Joseph  E.  Thomly,  Es^..  iiev.

July  29  a  report  of  interviews  with  sonie  of  the  of- 
ficers of  the  "New- York  Prison  Association,"  from 
which  it  might  be  inferred  that  they  favored  the 
restoration.  In  certain  cases,  of  j^didal  sentences  of

enter  upouj  any  disctiasion  af  this  subject,  and  only 
desire  to  say  tiiat  the  remarks  imputed  to  these  geii-. 
tlemen  must  be  regarded  as  purely  individual  in 
their  character,  and  without  official  significance. 
The  association  has  expressed  no  opinion  upon  the

Saratoga,  July  31.— After  four  dasrs  of  dis- 
agreeable weatberjib^lskles  have  cleared  and  a  re- 
freshing breeze  pofflefl  down  from  the  mountains, 
which  seems  doubiy  jsivigorating  as  it  drives  away 
the  oppressive  atniospuere  that  has  hovered  about 
Saratoga.  The  chauM  was  veryc  welcome  to  the 
ladies,  who  could  display  elaborate  toilets  with  some 
d^ree  of  comfort,!  ■;  and  therefore  the  grand 
stand  to-day  appeared  aa  attractive  aa  a  gar- 
den rich  in  jthe  ji  varied  hues  of  Sum- 
mer flowers  in  !||full  bloom.  The  track 
had  dried  considerably  since  yesterday,  and,  being 
well  harrowed,  was  injifair  condition  when  the  first 
race  was  called.  It  continued  to  improve  during  the 
progress  of  thenacing;  iunder  the  influence  of  the  sun, 
aud  the  last  race  was; '  rtm  on  a  very  fast  tBack.  The 
fact  that  five  dif^rent  parties  won  large  smotmts 
from  the  combination  |  books  induced  the  public  to 
invest  in  them  to  k\  great  extent,  and  the  book- 
makei^  were  coirisequenUy  kept  busy  In  sup- 
plying orders,  j'  Sflost  of  the  combinations 
began  with  CliJquaU  in  the  first  and  Tom 
Ochiltree  In  the!  second  race.  They  were  all 
last  from  the  atarjt}  aiid  in  all  probability  tho  rush  on 
these  hybrid  hoo^-mUkers  will  cease.  The  day's 
sport  was  cxceptii^aJJly  brilliant,  and  a  most  disas- 
trous sefies  of  races  ii  was  to  the  professionals.  The 
outside  public  fl  on  I  considerable  money,  and  this 
created  a  vast 
favorite  that  won

was  the  Saratoga  Stakes,  which  was  won  by  a  rank 
outsider,  and  th^  Western  men  were  in  high  glee.

on  the  result.  Tno  details  of  the  sport  are  given  be-

THE  MILE  DASH. 

The  entortainme|at  was  initiated  with  a  dash  of  one 
mile  for  all  ages,  jwith  allowances  for  beaten  horses 
and  maidens,  anda  tnd  five  entered  were  Belmont's 
Baroness.  McPanielSj  >  Princess  of  Thnle,  Smythe's 
Madge.  Mulkey's  jOhiquita,  and  Harbeck's  Bertram. 
All  of  these  had  weight  off.  and  Chlquita  was  a 
great  favorite,  selling  in  the  pools  for  $500  ;  Madge 
brimdng  $250.  fiAroriess  $130,  Bertram  $130,  and 
Princess  of  Thul^j  $8j0.  There  was  some  delay  in 
getting  them  oft,  both  Bertram  and  Chlquita  being 
unrtily.  Penally  t|e  flag  fell,  and  Bertram  shot  off  in 
the  lead,  with  Sisdgo  second.  Ciiiquita  third.  Baroness 
fourth,  while  Princess  of  Thule,  slow  In  moving  off. 
was  left  in  the  rear.  Going  round  the  turn  Aladge 
pushed  out,  three-fiutrters  of  a  length  in  front  of 
Chiquita.  and  she)  was  lapped  at  the  quarter  by  Ber- 
tram, and  at  the  litters  saddle-girth  was  Baroreas, 
three  lengths  before  the  Princess  of  Thule.  ^Vllen 
they  reached  the  'quaiiter  pole  Madge  and  Chiquita 
left  the  others,  the  former  leading  the  favorite  at 
that  point  by  half;  ]  a  length.  Baroness  wss  two 
lengths  behind  j  them,  a  head  iu  advance  of 
Bertram.  ^VTienj  i  thCy  meed  down  the  back 
stretch  Madife  '  and  Chiquita  were  head  and 
head,  an**^ertrBiii.  jiarting  company  for  a  moment 
with  Baroness,  closed  upon  them,  and  speedily  got 
to  the  head  of  |the  man^s.  aud  by  the  time  they 
reached  the  half-mile  pole  Bertram  was  showing  half 
a  length  in  front  of  Chiquita.  while  Madge  had 
dropped  back  to  the  R^ddleglrth  of  the  favorite.  Bar- 
oness being  c\o^  up  fourth  and  Prince.^  of  Thule

Thule  cluseil  up.  pasjitug  Bareness  and  Madge,  aud 
turned  into  the  home  stretch  in  the  thirdxto- 
sition,  but.  running  wide  In  the  turn,  lost 
irround.  Chiquita  I  !  now  began  to  quit,  and 
Hughes  drew  his  whib.  In  the  meantime  Harones.t 
made  her  brusli  and  tame  to  the  second  place,  but  by 
this  time  Bertradi  wii  well  advanced,  and  by  skillful 
riding  Barbec  kjrpt'|hini  coing  and  landed  him  a 
winner  by  n  length,  i  to  tht?  e\'ident  disgust  of  the 
knowing  ones  jind  |  all  the  rumbinatlon  buyers. 
Baroness  secured  Be<lond  pIa^e  by  a  length  and  a' half 
from  Princess  of  fTh^ule.  Chiquita  being  fourth  and 
Madge  fifth.  Th^itide  was  l:4Gi2.

Tlie  second  ev^t  <Mi  the  card  wa.H  a  dash  of  two 
miles,  for  all  R«e^,  with  a  penalty  of  five  pounds  to' 
the  winner  of  the  Sanitoga  Cup.  For  this  were  en- 
tered Carr  &  Co.'s  b.  c.  Viceroy.  W.  Cottrell's  Atmt 
Betsey.  Charles  TLeed"!  Athlene,  and  George  L.  Ijoril- 
lard's  Tom  Ochiltiretj.!  When  the  bell  summoned 
themto  the  front  only  three  of  them  were  stripped 
for  the  contest.  Viceroy  not  putting  In  an  appear- 
ance. In  the  betjting.  of  coarse  Tom  Ochiltree  was  a 
great  favorite  over  ihe  field,  and  brought  $*J00  to 
$."^5.  The  trijo  J  were  readily  in  line,  and 
when  the  llag  fell  ^iViiiit  lletsey  wont  off  in  the  lead, 
-Athlene  sCcimd,  land  jOchJltree  laHt.  (xoiiig  to  the 
turn.  howevtT.  .Ajthlene  was  sent  out  to  make  the 
running,  an«I  shejscxm  oiwned  a  gap  of  five  lengths, 
and  Tom  Ocliilt^ee  followed  into  the  second  place. 
Aunt  Betsy  Iteinz  piillcd,  behind  him.  At  the  quar- 
ter pole  Athlene  [was  still  five  lengths  ahfad  of  Ochil- 
tree, and  he  f»>ur  Ufngths  alieatt  of  Aunt  Betsy. 
Down  the  back  strftiidi  ihcy  were  the  same  until  they 
approached  the  ihulf-jijiile  ptde,  when  Ochiltree  got 
twi>  lengths  closer  to  the  little  mare,  and  .\nnt  Betsy 
wa«  left  six  leiigljhsbtihiud.  Runnini;  round  the  lower 
turn.  Ochiltree  got  |RtiIl  closer,  and  not  more  than 
a  length  of  daylight  divided  them.  \\'hen  tbey 
came  up  the  hctine  stretrli  Athlene  uot  away  again 
and  finisheil  the  fiirst  luile  in  1:53.  three  lengths  In 
advance  of  Toiiij,  who  whs  six  lengths  awav  from 
Aunt  Itftsy.  Gtjijig'  r<iund  the  turn  again  they  in- 
cTt-nsed  the*  pace  i-bnJiidenibly.  and  at  tlio  »]uarter  p*il© 
Atliloue  was  lea»^iiDgiab<mt  two  aiid  a  half  length^, 
and  in  thU  manner  they  jounieved  along  the  hack 
stretch  for  somejdistance,  when  Barbee  moved  along 
with  the  big  horw,  and  at  the  half-mile  pole 
less  than  half  ja  length  of  space  was  between 
them,  and  Aunt  Bet-sy  was  four  lengths  away. 
They  began  racing  in  dead  earnest  round 
the  lower  tumi  aiid  Ochiltree  graduallv  closed 
to  the  tail  of  Athlcme,  and  .\unt  Bet.fy  fell  away 
completely  out  ^jf  th**  rare.  Ochiltree  continued  to 
close  on  Athlene;  and  when  they  turned  into  the 
home  stretch  the  fiillv  was  apparently  holding  the 
lead  by  a  neck.  [At  |  the  furlong  pole  they  were  on 
even  terms,  and  -thorti  was  much  enthusiasm  mani- 
fested as  the  little'  mare  gamely  responded  to  the 
whip  and  hung[to  Tom,  but  he  was  too  much  for 
her,  as,  when  Tc^  was  allowed  his  head,  he  came  to 
the  front  and  woni  the;  race  by  a  lencth  in  S.-SOig. 
Aunt  Betsy  wasj  beitea  off  a*  long  distance.  The 
second  mile  was  |x|un!  in  l|:4Gi2' 

THE  sl^tlATOOA  STAKES. 
The  third  affair  furnished  by  the  card  was  the  four- 
teenth renewal  I  of  jthe  '.Saratoga  Stakes,  for  2-year 
olds,  three-quarters  jof  a  mile,  which  closed  with  49 
nominations,  niije  of  which  sported  silk  on  this  occa- 
sion, namely.  Pierre  llorillard's  Perfection  and  Pique, 
F.  Smj-the's  DaiiLheT.  p.  McDanieVs  Fawn  and  a 
bav  filly  by  |W»^  D^uce,  T.  Puryear  &  Co.'s 
Clifton,  George  L.  LorillWrd's  Duke  of  Magenta,  W. 
Aster's  Pride  oE  jthe  Vljlage,  and  Johuson  &  Co.'s 
Bramble.  Tliis  was  a  gijand  field  of  youngsters.  The 
race  had  a  v^st  j  amount  of  interest,  and  the 
speculation  w)as  very  heavv,-  with  i*ierre 
Lorillard's  pair]  the  favorites  at  $<iOO,  the  Duke  of 
Magenta  selling  Isecoid  for  $300.  McDauiefs  $155. 
Clifton  $150,  1  Astbr  $145.  Bramble  $90,  and 
Danicheff  $25.  j  i  Tliis  was  the  greatest  slaughter 
that  the  knowintjories  have  felt  this  season,  and  one 
thatit  will  take  thfen^  sometime  to  recoverfrora.  There 
WELs along  delay! nil  starting  the  youngsters  in  the 
chute,  the  Puke]  of  I  Mafienta  acting  In  a  most  outra- 
geous manner,  and  |  finally  attempting  to  jump  over 
the  rails  separating  the  chute  from  the  main  track. 
He  only  partly  succeeded,  however,  as  he  landed  on 
top  of  them, I  land,  as  they  gave  way  under 
his  weight,  Barl?ee  jumped  to  the  ground  safely. 
After  this  there  wer^  tU'o  more  attempts,  and  then 
the  flag  fell  to  alstraggUng  start.  Bramble  having  the 
best  of  it  by  four  lengths.  Pride,  of  the  Village  get- 
ting off  second.  Duke  of  Magenta  third,  andPerfec- 
tion  fourth.  They'ruslied  down  the  chute  with 
Bramble  still  \a  the  lead  by  two  lengths,  but 
the  Duke  of  {Magenta  was  fast  closing  up  on 
him.  and  wheh  tjli^y  turned  into  the  regular 
track  at  the  I  j  half-mile  pole,  Bramble  showed 
hadf  a  length  hetdrp  the  Duke,  and  two  in  ad- 
vance of  Perfefctiohl  who  was  followed  by  Pride 
of  the  Village,  ifourth,  and  Danicheff  fifth.  When 
they  came  round  tho  lower  turn,  Bramble  got  away 
three  lengths,  whiltj  Perfection  closed  on  Magenta, 
lapped  by  Pride !<if  |t]ie  Village,  and  the  others  just 
bemnd  them  in  I  a  |  i^uck.  There  was  a  tremendous 
ammmt  of  eiciwraent  when  they  turned  into  the 
homestretch.  ■Thef  puke  of  Magenta  closed  up  on 
Bramble  und^qon  was  at  his  saddle-^rth  ;  ^en  up 
came  Perfection  anijl  Pride  of  the  Milage,  and  thev 
were  soon  even  with  the  other  two,  and  it  was  a  whip- 
ping race  Jiume  between  them.  The  four  were  in  a  line 
clear  awayffron)i|  thp  others,  and  the  quartet  passed 
the  repoiters'  standi  so  evenly  that  it  was  impossible 
to  tell  which  had  |tirst  passed  the  winning-post.  An 
immense  crowd  gathered  in  front  of  the  grand  stand, 
and  breathlessly  nwaSted  the  decision  of  the  judges, 
and,  whfu  Bramble'b  number  was  indicated  as  the 
winuincr  one.  there  Was  a  wild  shout  by  hiS  backers, 
and  a  general  rdsh  [to  the  mutual  pool  stands  to  see 
what  the  tickets  ^pald.  The  iHike  of  Magenta  was 
placed  setiond,  Ifnd^  of  the  Village  third,  and  Per- 
fection consequently  fourth. 

THE  SELLIXG  RACE. 
The  excited  loosets  now  surrounded  the  pooling 
stand  aud  onde^'ored  to  get  out  of  their  difficulty  in 
the  mile  and  one-eighth.  There  were  seven  starters, 
iucludiug  Dwyet  Bijo'thers'  Vermont,  Williams'  Fair 
Play.  Reed's  Cirdihal  Wolsey,  Longstaff'a  George 
rv.,  Doswell's  Bapjpahannock,  Mulkey's  Ltidfer,  and 
Rice  &  Bethnnels  Dn  Livingston.  The  heavy  sp*cu- 
latovB  divided!  their  flavors  between 
rv.,    Rappahannock,    and 

ting  was  extreme!^  heavy  in  consequence.  George 
IV.  fetched  $450,  Rapuahannock.  $200 ;  Vermont, 
$300,  Fair  Play  $275,"Lucifer  $200,  Wolsey  $130, 
and  Dr.  Livingston  $S0.  The  distance  beli^  a  mile 
aud  an  eighth,  thor  wei«  started  from  theftud,ou£- 


Oeorge 
Vermont,    and  the  bet- 


pole,  xnldwmy  of  the  hom«  strateb^  and  there  was  a 
long  delay  In  getting  them  offi  /After  a  half  dozen 
.false  attempts,  however,  the  flag  fell  to  a  good  start, 
all  of  the  horses  getting  off  weU.  Cardinal  Wolsey 
speedily  came  to  uie  front,  and  readied  the  stand  a 
length  in  advance  of 'Vermont,  who  was  the  same 
distance  ahead  o:^Rappahannoek  and  Dr.  Idvlngston, 
who  were  together.  foUowed  by  George  IN., 
fifth.  Going  around  the  turn  Cardinftl  Wolsey  in- 
creased his  ^ad  to  two  lengths,  while  Dr.  Livingston 
ran  to  the  second  place  and  was  lapped  at  the  quar- 
ter by  Vermont,  with  all  the  others  in  a  ruck.  As 
they  approached  the  quarter  pole  Dr,  Livingston 
went  forward,  and  led  Wolsev  at  that  point  by  half  a 
length.  Fair  Play  bringing  up  the  rear.  As  soon  as 
they  struck  the  back  stretch  Lucifer  went  well  for- 
ward, while  George  IV.  In  the  meantime  took 
the .  lead,  and  Cardinal  Wolsey  dropped  back 
a  little.  When  thev  reached  the  half- 
mile  pole  Geoxge  IV.  led  by  half  •  a 
length,  with  Wolsey  second,  lapped  by  Lucifer, 
but  when  theT»came  round  the  lower  ttim  Lucifer 
challenged  George  for  the  lead  and  soon  obtained  it, 
and  when  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch  he  led 
George  a  neck  or  more,  with  Qirdinal  Wolsey  lapping 
the  latter.  There  was  a  dose  and  exciting  struggle 
between  the  three  np  the  stretch,  when  Vermont 
came  from  behind-ton  the  outside  and  mnde  an 
effort,  hut  failed.  At  the  four-mile  distance 
stand  it  was  evident  that  Lucifer  had  the 
field  beaten,  for  he  increased  his  lead 
at  every  stride,  and  finally  passed  the  winning  post  a 
length  and  a  half  iu  front  of  Cardinal  Wolsey.  who 
was  half  a  length  in  front  of  George  IV.,  Vermont 
fourth,  and  Rappahannock  fifth.  The  time  was 
1:58  V  The  winner  was  offered  for  sale  by  auction, 
according  to  the  conditions  of  the  race,  and  was 
bought  in  by  his  owner  at  $1,025,  he  being  entered 
to  be  sold  for  $1,000.

TuESDAT,  July  31— p.  31. 
The  share  speculation  on  the  Stock  Ex- 
change was  rather  heavy  at  the  opening  to.day, 
and  prices  dropped  off  I4  to  X^a  V"  cent.;  but 
later  there  was  a  strong  and,  in  some  cases,  an 
active  market,  followed  by  an  advance  of  l^  to 
363  V  cent.  The  greatest  rise  was  in  'Western 
Uxiion,  which  advanced  from  68  to  71  ^  on  a 
large  business  and  amid  considerable  excite- 
ment. The  continued  npward  movement  in 
this  stock  was  again  based  upon  rumors  to  the 
effect  that  telegraph  competition  is  about  to  be 
terminated  .either  by  consolidation  or  otherwise. 
These  rumors,  however,  have  not  yet  assumed 
any  tangible  shape  and  nothing  more  definite 
on  the  subject  can  be  ascertained.  The  rise  in 
Western  Union  was  the  source  whence  the  rest 
of  the  market  derived  its  strength  ;    bu^  the 


only  other  active  stock  was  Lake  Shore,

FOREIGN  BUSINESS INTBRES.TS. 


London.  Jaly  31— Tho  ifur*  Lam  ETpran  in  its 
weekly  review  of  the  Uritish  Com  trade  saya  :  "  The 
weather  tho  past  week  has  »>©en  more  favoraUe  for  ma- 
turing ceroal  croim.  Thf%  showers  which  have  fallen 
have  oenefit<^  Barley  and  roots  without  doing  material 
damage  to  the  Wheat  plant.  As  the  harvest  approaebes 
more  uumeroua  reports  as  to  tbe  present  condition  and 
probable  result  of  the  Wheat  crop  come  to  hand,  aud 
their  general  tenor  is  decidedly  against  an  average  vield. 
Complaints  are  made  frtjni  many  of  the  prin^rlpalWhear- 
growiuff  districts  that  the  cars  uo  not  aopear  fully  de-* 
veloped  and  the  top  Sf  t."*  have  been  rendered  barren  bv 
bUKnt  or  mildew.  DLssatisfactlon  is  not,  however, 
imlvorsally  exprossed,  although  iu  bo  cases 
are  wo  riven  to  expect  an  abundant 
yield.  Everything  now  depenas  upon  the  weather, 
for  aa  time  goes  on  the  deficiency  becomes  more  noticea- 
hle.  A  gfKKi  crop  of  Hay  hasundoubtodlv  been  se- 
cured, nltbough  some  of  it  has  been  damaged'by  the  re- 
cent heavy  rain>i.  In  tlie  later  districts  harvesting  may 
begin  in  about  a  wink's  time,  but  should  the  nlshta  con- 
tinue as  cold  aathey  have  been  of  late  it  will  probably  bo 
the  second  week  In  Au^^ust  ixjfore  it  becomes  genersd. 
The  prospects  of  Barley  and  Oats  are  poor,  both  here  and 
on  the  Continent,  of  the  former  c-spedally.  Root  crops 
promise  falriy  Mangels  e.speciall%%  there  being  no  defi- 
ciency of  the  plant,  but  it  is  rather  too  soon  to  sa\  much 
about  Tumi]).-*,  as  the  crop  Is  yet  In  its  earliest'  stages. 
Irish  advices  about  Potat*>os  aro  unfortunately 
less  favorable  than  they  were  a  week  or  two  ago. 
Some  indications  of  diseasii  have  shown  themsel\-^s. 
Steadiness  has  been  the  leading  feature*  In  the  Grain  trade 
throughout  the  country  the  past  week,  notwithstanding 
the  continuance  of  hea\'y  foreign  imports,  whose  de- 
preeaing  acdgn  on  business  has  been  more  than  neutral- 
lied  XiX  the  less  promising  aspect  of  home  crops  and  the 
uneaaineaa  consequent  npon  the  unsettled  state  of  poli- 
tic*. The  main  feature  of  the  week  has  been  the  san- 
guine eetlmates  whlen  have  been  foreshadowed  of  the 
.Vmerican  Wheat  crop.  Although  it  is  obvious  that  re- 
liance cannot  at  pref^ent  be  placed  upon  the  fleures,  it 
seejns  clear  that  there  is  at  least  promise  of  an  abun- 
dance. This  fact  cannot  fail  to  be  of  importance,  having 
regard  to  tho  diminished  power  of  Russia  to  forward  her 
usual  supplies,  and  may  tend  to  keep  prices  on  a  more 
moderate  level  than  at  one  time  aeemea  likely.

tail wind"  prevailed,  which  flnetnated  from  left  to 
right,  or,  in  shooting  parlance,  "from  12  to 
2  o'clock."  Nearly  all  of  the  original  entries

sible 75  points,  and  at  900  yards  Mr.  T.  E.  Lamb 
scored  72.  Col.  Gildersleeve  made  his  first  appear- 
ance on  the  range  since  the  commencement  of  the

SHEEP  BAISIXG  ilV  JAPAN. 


THE    VENTURE    OP     A     CALIFOBNIAN— RAIS- 
ING SHEEP  NEAR    TOKIO    ON  'AMERICAN 
GRASSES. 
To  the  SdUorlof  the  Kew-  York  Times :  ' 

In  your  Ispeclal  correspondent's  letter  from 
San  Francisco,  of  the  26th  nit.,  I  saw  a  statement  in 
regard  to  the  shipment  of  sheep  from  this  country'  to 
•  Japan,  and  th<Vght  it  mi^'ht  be  interesting  to  some  of 
yonr  readers  to  know  something  more  of  sheep  cul- 
ture in  the  latter  country.  Several  years  ago  sheep 
were  Introquced  from.  California  and  pastured  on 
lands  in  the llatitude  of  Tokio,  but  did  not, thrive, 
and  in  a  short  time  most  of  them  died,  aiid  those 
who  had  charge  of  them  were  at  a  loss  to  account  for 
this  sudden  and  rapid  decrease  in  numbers.  ^A  close 
examination,  however,  revealed  the  fact  th^  death 
was  caused  by  the  grass,  an  analysis  of  which  proved 
that  there  were  some  inlierent  peeoliarities  which 
impaired  digestion,  and  nltimate^y  produced  death. 
After  this  became  known  the  trade  in  sheep  declined, 
except  occasionally,  when  a  few  would  be  exported, 
which  soon,  [however,  shared  the  fate  of  their;  prede- 
cessors, and  [the  idea  of  sheep  raising  seeraod  to  be 
pretty  well  given  up,  until  about  three  yeairs  ago, 
when  a  Caiifomian,  who  had  been  very  success- 
ful in  this  busines  in  bis  State,  went  to  Japan 
and  propo.<5ea  to  the  Government  that  they  should 
^ve  him  a  contract  for  a  sj>ecified  term  of  years,  and 
he  would  take  over  some  good  stock  and  make  an  at- 
tempt to  breed  and  raise  them  on  Japanese  soil. 
The  Govemtnent  for  awhile,  I  believe,  refused  to  en- 
tertain any  such  proposition,  but  were  at  lilst  pre- 
vailed upon  to  let  the  gentleman  make  asiuvey  of 
the  surrounding  country  and  an  examination  of  the 
soil,  with  the  view  of  reporting  apon  the  same,  and 
in  this  report  he  was  to  explain  at  length  another  plan 
which  he  had  suggested  anil  which  appeared  toithem  to 
be  feasible.  [  He  traveled  around  for  some  time,  uiitU 
he  found  a  piece  of  land  beautifully  situated;  not  far 
from  the  capital,  where  the  water  wa-s  pure  and 
plejQtifnl,  the  climate  equable,  and  the  soil  capahle  of 
producing  abundantlv.  with  cultivation.  Ainr-rican 
grasses.  He  returned  to  Tokin,  made  an  exh.nustive 
report,  and  masked  the  (^vomment  to  set  aside  this 
tract  of  land  fbr  the  rai.«;ing  of  .<!heep.  and  to  pive  hii'i 
a  contract  for  eight  years,  at  a  stated  compensalinu  ptr 
annum,  with  full  powers  to  superintend  and  instruct 
in  the  work,  the  Govemraent  to  purchase  the  sheep. 
His  idea  was  to  work  over  a  i»6rti<in  of  the  ijintl  and 
plant  it  with  American  jrrasi'^.  and  if  it  irrt-w  to  tiiki* 
out  from  C^ifomia  a  lew  wbroi)  and  plnrjo  thoiii 
thereon.  If  they  throve,  as  he  «nnli.it:ntly  thoui^hl 
they  would,  he  inteuded  tocoiitiniu-  his  iniprnvt-rnt-nt 
of  the  land  and  import  more  sheep,  iiml  thus  rdd 
yearly  to  his  pasturjie-*  iind  stoi-k,  until  he  liad 
enough  of  both.  He  limited  In  hbt  report  the  ntini- 
ber  of  sheep  and  acres  of  li.iul  that  he  wnntM.  He 
would  make  the  fnnn  ns  ni-iirly  self-supptipin::  as 
t>ossible,  unj-il  the  time  when  tile  sheep  would  l)OL;in 
to  pay.  by  jraisini;  suth'-it-nf  v«ti;etabl(*s  to  Jex'iX  »H 
those  who  njighl  l>e  employed,  as' well  as  all  the  rjitlle 
used  in  woj-king.  Th*'  h«iokswere  to  he  carefully 
kept  by  an  assistant  to  he  fumishrd  by  the  tii)vi'ni- 
ment,  and  i^,  at  the  fxpiration  of  his  term  of  '.<ter\'i''f. 
there  were  any  prufit«  a'-cminiT  from  the  ventun*.  he 
was  to  ref-eSve  one-third  of  them,  in  addition:  to  ins

mitled  tho  whole  tiling  for  the  consideniiion

^oirectWe:  sone  mi.sstafoments  contained  in  a 
Lolndon  letter  to  a  Cincinnati  paper,  the  New-Orle.ans 
Damocrrt(  .says :  ''Mr.  Judah  P.  Benjamin  wai  not 
bom  in  Snnj JJominc".  but  in  one  of  the  British  West 
Indies,  a  fact  which  gave  him  the  position  which 
enabled  him  to  obtain  admission  to  tho  Bar  of  Eng- 
land. He  was  an  infant  when  his  parents  emi^rrated 
to  Charleston,  S.  C,  and  his  name  appears  in  the 
naturalizatibn  papers  of  his  father.  It  is  true  In 
general  tha^  Mr.  Benjamin's  income  from  his  pro- 
fessional lufbors  was  larae;  but  not  largor  than  his 
eminent  taients,  wonderful  industry,  power  of  work, 
antl  versatil5ty  ajid  solidity  of  talents  merited.  But 
it  |is  not  tn^e  that  in  the  Almaden  quicksilver  mine 
hi$  fees  amotmied  to  $500. (KK).  On  the  contrary,  i 
we  believe  Chat  Mr.  Benjamin's  share  of  the  com- 
X>ehsatton  allowed  with  several  dLstinguished  attor- 
nevsinthaica.se  was  smaller  than  that  of,  several 
others,  andl  did  not  exceed  $20.0OO.  The  largest 
fee  derived  from  the  case  was  from  the  late  Robert 
J.  Walker,  «vhich  amounted  to  S'.;40.000.  The  late 
Louis  Jsniri.  also  of  our  Bar,  received  some  $58,000 
in  the  sameicase.  Large  fees  were  also  paid  to  the 
late  Edwin  M.  Stanton,  we  think  ;  also  to  Jeremiah 
Black  and  Edmund  Randolph,  formerly  of  our  Bar. 
The  case  was  one  of  immense  imporiahce  And  in- 
volved many  millions  of  value,  and  the  services  of 
these  eminent  jurists  were  not  overpaid.  It  in  an  in- 
teresting and  sorrowful  fact  that  the  late  Robert  J. 
Walker,  with  all  his  ^rrcat  a'jiliiy  as  a  jurist  and 
financier,  Icjst  every  dollar  of  this  iar^e  tee  by  in- 
vfrstinstheiwluile  amount  in  Sir  Morton  Peto'sijrand 
railroad  i-wiindle,  and  left  his  family  in  poverty.'  Mr. 
B*inj»rain  was  alike  tuifortuuale  oi- improvident  in  his 
li]vi-strnoiit[<>f  his  lame  professional  revenues.  Sugar 
plantine  swept  oft  ubont  $'JOO.(K»0  ;  Tehuantepec  a 
large  amount,  and  a  guano  spei.-uiation  in  South 
America  thp  remainder  of  his  hnrd  eaniiti:;?.  "Finally, 
the  dov,^all  of  the  Corifederacy  drove  him  Sifugilivo 
from  our  cmmtrj-.  In  an  opon  boat,  rnwed  by  a 
nejrro.  he  pissed  from  i'loriua  to  Na-s.sau,  where  he 
landed  with  a  single  dollar  in  his  pocket.  Tho  war 
had  destroyed  every  ve.stic;Q  of  his  property."'

announred  in  "JHE  Tr.MES,  sailed  for  Europe  yester- 
day in  the  Montana,  of  the  Williams  &  GuiOn  Line. 
Many  of  the  emic:rants  are  married,  and  their  weep- 
in;;  wives  and  children,  who  accompanied  them  to 
the  pier  to  see  them  off,  made  a  sad  spectacle.  The 
men  say  ihat  if  they  could  possibly  obtain  a  liveli- 
hood in  Amerira  they  would  stay  here,  but  the  labor 
market  in  so  overcrowdt-d  atid  work  so  uncertain  that

THE  nOARD  OF  ALDERMEX. 
In  the  Board  of  Aldermen  yesterday  a  com- 
mmiicition  was  received  from  Mayor  Ely.  disapprov- 
ing, of  the  resolution  directinjt  the  Counsel  to  the 
Corporation  to  take  such  measures  as  he  mif;ht  deem 
advisable;  by  injunction  or  otherwise,  "to  prevent 
the  Sixth-Avenue  Railroad  Company  from  usinjc  the 
tracks  of  the  Seventh-Avenue  Rjulroad  Company  In 
I'arkplace,  \ipon  which  to  run  its  double-decker  or 
any  other  of  its  cars."  Tho  Mayor  says  that  the 
Sixth  and  Ninth  Avenue  Railroad  Companies  are  tho 
only,  onfis  that  pay  license  fees  to  the  City,  and 
that;  it  seemed  to  him  unjust  that  unneces- 
snry  embnrritRsments  should  be  cau.sed  to 
oiifc  of  them  by  the  Common  Council  as 
proposed  by  the  resolnrion-  He  also  says  that  he  is 
satisJiM  that  the  Sixth-Avenne  Company  has  a  richt 
tt)  nin  its  doiihlodeeker  cars  on  Park-pliu'e,  and  that 
the  use  of  thesecarsoii  that  street  causes  no  public  in- 
couvenienfe.  Acommunii-ation  was  receive<lfrom  the 
Mayor  vftoinc  the  resolution  directinjE  the  Park 
Coniiuissiou'-rs.  the  Dock  Commissioners,  and  tho 
Coiiirnis-siotipr  of  I*nhlir  \V<lrks  to  insert  in  all  con- 
tr.vis  Ii  f'l.'iiis*'  providing  that  the  pay  of  all  unskilled

the  rate  estabJLshed  by  the  several  heads  of  the  other 
di'partuienta  of  the  City  Government.  The  Mayorin 
his  vi'to  declares  that  the  Corporation  Counsel  has 
fl'lvised  him  that  the  Common  Council  has  no  power 
to  direct , the  departments  to  insert  such  clauses  in 
the  conirartK  they  may  make.  A  resolutton  was  then 
artopfed  requesting  the  Corporation  Conn.sel  to  furnish 
an  opinion  B.S  to  whether  it  is  •*  in  tho  power  of  the 
Slate  or  City  authorities  to  nrohibit  the  reprehensible 
and  dancerotis  as  well  as  tllegal  practice  of  overload- 
inc  excursion  boats  with  pas-senjrers,  and  also  to  state 
if  it  is  not  in  tho  power  of  the  Common  Council,  in 
the  al»scnr*#  of  any  existing  State  or  Municipal  law. 
to  pass  an  ordinance  which  will  prevent  boats  thus 
overcrowded  from  leaving  any  of  the  piers  of  this 
City.'    The  board  then  adjourned. 

ROronS  PROMPTLT  PrXISHED. 
A  party  of  Williamsburg  roughs,  denizens  of 
"Dutf^htoivn."  visited  Rockaway  Beach  on  Stmday 
on  a  special  train  in  charge  of  Conductor  Benjamin 
Brezie.  ^  They  carried  matters  with  a  high 
hand  on  the  train,  which  was  virtually  in 
their  po8.ses»ion.  Peaceably-disposed  pa.ssengers  were 
frightened  by  their  violence  and  horrified  by  their 
blasphemy.  At  Atlantic  Park  the  train  was  run  on  a 
side  track  to  await  the  time  for  the  return  trip.  Here 
encountering  the  conductor  on  the  platform,  the 
roughs  made  an  attack  upon  him,  and  he  waa  forced 
to  t.ike  refuge  in  the  hotel.  Capt.  Gardner,  being  in- 
formed of  the  state  of  affairs,  soon  made  his  appear- 
ance, and  nrre.sted  seven  of  the  most  prominent  of 
the  crowd,  which  ntunhered  15  or  20.  These  were 
taken  on  board  the  train  and  locked  up  in  the  bag- 
ga^re  car  for  safe  keeping,  and  when  the  train  returned 
they  were  taken  to  Long  Island  City.  Their  com- 
panions threatened  a  rescue,  and  behaved  generally 
m  an  outrageous  manner,  but  did  not  dare  to  under- 
take! to  carrv  their  threat  into  execution.  Conductor 
Brezie,  however,  who  appeared  to  be  particu- 
larly obnoxious  to  them,  waa  forced  to  ride 
ail  the  way  on  the  engine,  as  they  threatened 
bis  life  if  be  showed  himself  .in  the  cars.  Capt. 
Giirdner  bad  his  prisoners  locked  np  for  the  night  at 
Long  Island  City,  and  on  Monday  they  were  returned 
to  rtockawny  for  trial  before  Jnsrice  Matthews,  on 
the  charge  of  being  drunk  and  disorderly.  Upon  ar- 
raignment, they  professed  great  penitence,  and 
begged  hard  to  be  let  off  with  a  fine,  one  of  them  pro- 
fessmg  a  willingness  to  pay  $100  rather  than  go  to 
jail.  Justice  Matthews  was  inflexible,  howe\'er,  in 
his  determination  to  send  every  one  to  prison,  and 
they  were  sentenced  respectively  as  follows  ;  Augus- 
tus Solengen,  60  days  ;  Frank  Brown,  30  da>-s  ; 
Frank  Bumlnghouse,  30  days ;  Nicholas  Fleckhardt, 
30  days  ;  Harry  Benson,  30  days  ;  Charles  Fersher, 
30  days ;  Charles  Schaffer,  10  days,  all  in  the 
Queen  s  Cotmty  J."iil,  at  Long  Island  City.  Solengen, 
being  the  ringleader,  got  the  heaviest  sentence. 


V;  ATTEMPTED  SUICIDE. 

Early  yesterday  forenoon  Max  Qnittener, 
proprietor  of  a  small  cigar  manufactory  at  No.  117 
West  Hou-stou-street,  engaged  a  room  at  the  Sum- 
mit Hotel,  Xo.  Go  Bowery.  Soon  after  he  retired  to 
the  apartment  to  which  he  was  assigned,  a  pistol  shot 
was  heard  by  tho  cler*.  who,  on  going  np  stairs, 
fonud  Qnittener  lying  on  the  floor  with  a  woond  in 
the  right  breast.  *The  Police  of  the  Tenth  Precinct 
having  been  notified,  the  wounded  man  was  removed 
to  Bcllcvue  Hospital.  In  the  room  three  sealed 
notes  were  found,  one  of  which  was  addressed  to 
Quittener's  wife,  whose  foiglvenesa  he  c^ked,  and 
the  others  to  Bertha  Klein,  of  No.  307  East  Fiftieth- 
street,  and  Samuel  Steinetz,  of  No.  187  Ludlow, 
street.  Despondency,  arising  from  financial  troubles, 
caused  him  to  attempt  suiciae.  Qnittener  iras  mar- 
ried only  four  mouths  ago.

establish  reB^tratibn  at  its  birth,  was  investigated 
yesterday  by  Ipj^roaer  Woltmaa  and  a  jury  of  phy- 
sicians. Tlw  fathej^  of  the  child,  Andrew  Stewart,  a 
Scotchman,  Hying  jit  No.  70  Orchard-street,  testified 
lis  last  he  summoned  Dr.  MUo  M. 


that  on  Nov. 
Dunton,  of  Nol  92!  Rivingfcon-street,  to  attend  Mrs. 
Stewart  during  heij  confinement ;  that  when  he  re- 
turned to  his  residence,  after  a  search  for  a  nurse,  he 
discovered  that  the  child's  feet  had  been  so  badlv 
bumed  as  to  deprive  it  of  "  two  toes  and  14  bones  ■?' 
that  the  bums  healed  in  about  a  month,  and  that  the 
child  was  in  pjejrfee*  health  until  July  26,  when  it 
died  of  convtalsions:  Stewart  also  asserted  that  about 
a  month  afterthe  child  was  bom,  Dr.  Fredericks,  of 
West  Fourth-street,  expressed  the  opinion  that  the 
burns  would  nltlqiately  result  in  the  death  of  the 
child.  The  father  I  immediately  instituted  a  suit  for 
$10,000  damages  figainst  Dr.  Dunton.  but  the  action 
has  not  as  yet  come  to  trial.  Dr.  Dunton  testified  at 
the  Inquest  that,j  finding  respiration  exceedingly 
feeble,  he  first  gave  the  infant  a  warm  bath, 
and  then  '  ^n-endered  it  to  a  Mrs.  Hart- 
wig,  whom  1  he  instructed  to  sit  with  It 
iwar  the  ^vei  while  he  [Dr.  Dtmton] 
was  attencUngI  thej'  mother.  Twelve  hours  after  he 
heard  of  the;  |coh^tion  of  the  child's  feet,  and,  on 
questioning  the  nurse,  ascertained  that  it  had  been 
held  too  cfoee  to  jthe  stove.  He  positively  denied 
having  held  the  chnd  to  the  stove  at  any  time.  Dr. 
Fredericks  contradicted  the  testimony  of  Stewart  by 
saying  that  he  did  not  tell  the  latter  that  the  iniuries 
would  result  fiatally,  but  merely  expressed  the  belief 
that  the  contraJ;tio:  i  of  the  toes  would  be  a  permanent 
in,iury.  Ho  dm  | not  believe  that  the  death  of  the 
child  was  attributable  t<i  the  Imms.  Drs.  John  C- 
Acheson  and  Joseph  Cushraan  thought  that  the  cjiuse 
of  death  was  convxjlsions  from  dentition  andconstipa- 
"      in  accordance  with  their  opinion 


tion,  and  a  verdict 
was  rendered.

"TUE    MUTtAt     PVRCHASIXG     SOCIETY." 

Superintendent  Walling  yesterday  received 
an  annonytnous  eommunicnlion  from  Ottawa.  III., 
directing  his  ittention  to  a  circular  of  "  The  North- 
bridge  Mutualj  Purchasing  Society  of  Xew-York,"  of 
which  a  persbn  cailling  himself  H.  J.  Hyland.  of  No. 
74  Maiden-Ian^,  appears  to  be  the  leading  spirit.  Ac- 
cording to  H^lahd's  circular  the  "society"  was 
organized  "  fcxr  tbe  equal  and  impartial  diWsion  of 

finzes  won  by  the  mutual  .svstem  of  puiThasing 
ottery  tickets,"  whereby  everybody  investing  $.5  is 
promised  an  interest  in  all  prizes  drawn  by  any  mem- 
ber of  the  "isocietjr."  Tho  plan  of  Mr.  Hyland's 
organization,  iwhich  is  limited  to  500  meml)ers,  is  to 
buy  up  a  certain  number  of  the  lottery  tickets  re- 
maining tinsold  on  the  day  immediately  preceding 
the  drawing,  and  to  declare  dividends  according  tb 
the  value  of,  ^he|  prizes  drawn  bv  tlie  tickets  ob- 
tained. It  is'Tegarded  as  a  plausible  scheme  to  swin- 
dle unthinking  pebple.  The  communication  of  t  lie 
anonymous  injiividnl  in  Ottawa  concluded  with  the 
pertinent,  if  notelegantly  expressed,  inquirj-:  "Can

TSE  Try lOX  LEAGUE  CLUB-ROUSE. 
An  agreeable  change  has  been  late^ly  made  in 
the  interior  arrangements  of  the  Union  League  Club- 
house. The  old  dining-room,  on  the  second  floor, 
was  hnllt  quite  low  between  floor  and  ceiling,  and.  as 
a  con.<equence,  it  became  rather  too  warm  and  closo 
to  eat  in  with  any  degree  of  comfort  in  Summertime. 
The  room  above  it,  used  as  a  library,  \h  a  large  and 
lofty  chamber,  with  large  windows,  allowing  ample 
ventilation  on  the  hottest  days.  Some  ope  suj^est^l 
tiiiit  the  uses  to  which  these  two  rr^ns  were  put 
should  be  changed.  It  wa-s  an  idea  that  as  soon  as 
.suggested  everybody  wondered  why  it  had  not  been 
thought  of  before.  The  change  "was  Smme<ljately 
made  :  the  library  furniture  was  bronght  .down  stairs, 
the  dining-room  furniture  taken  up.  apd  now  the 
members  cnn  tjike  both  bodily  and  m^'htal  food  iu 
fiimfort.  whereas  l>efore  the  change  wap  effected  it 
was  only  posi-ible  to  lake  the  latter  that  way.

Specinl  Dif^atch  to  fh€  Setc-Tork  T^mes, 

Clevelant),  Ohio,  Aug,  1.— The  conven- 
tion of  Ohio  Republicans  which  met  in  Cleve- 
Taad  xo-<lav  came  together  ostensibly  for  the 
purpose  of  nominating  State  officers  to  be  voted 
for  in  the  approaching  election.  From  the 
flfst,  however,  it  was  evident  that  the  question 
of  coramending  or  refusing  to  commend  the 
Admini-stratioft  of  Presideut  Hayes  would  be 
one  of  paramount  importance.  The  re?nlt 
proved  That  rhe  action  of  the  meeting  turned 
from  ilrst  to  last  upon  this  one  point. , 

The  convenrion  was  called  to  order  by  the  Chair- 
man of  Lhe  Stale  Committee,  who  made  a  few 
sensible  remarks  about  the  duty  of  the' hour, 
and  thtrn  inrrodncod  Gen.  Grosvenor.  Speaker 
of  the  Ohio  Asspmbly.  as  temporary  Chairman. 
Gon.  CfrosveaoT.  after  thanking  the  dele- 
gates for  the  hearty  reception  which 
was  aei-ordeil  him.  delivered  an  efFec- 
fcive  and  carefully-prepared  speech,  in  which 
he  heartily  indorsed  the  Administration  of 
President  Hayes,  and  charged  that  the  Demo- 
cratic Party  and  its  teachings  were  directly  re- 
sponsible for  the  recent  labor  riots,  which  had 
done  so  much  to  prostrate  the  business  of  the 
nation.  His  remarks  indorsing  Mr.  Hayes  were 
loudly  cheered  by  twc-:hirds  of  the  delegates  ; 
the  other  one-third  took  no  part  in  the  applause. 
There  was  no  m  a  ai  testation  of  disapproval 
from  any  part  of  the  honse. 

The  fir.-*t  important  move  which  came  after 
the  opening  addre-^s.  was  made  by  X.  IC  Green, 
of  Haraii:on  County.  This  gentleman  jumjjed 
CO  his  feet  the  moment  the  last  words  dropped 
from  the  Chairman's  lips,  and  moved  that  all 
resohiriniis  wliich  mi^ht  bo  presented  by  dele- 
gates he  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Besolu- 
rions.  wirhont  debate.  This  was  g**nerally  un- 
derstoCKi  to  b^  the  first  move  ot"  the  per- 
\  a^inc!  friends  of  the  President.  who 
vere  determined  that  no  agent  of  the 
EW  ^^Vle  wing  of  the  party  should 
haVe  an  opprrtujairy  of  saying  any  unpleasant 
thiiig.  The  n^sulution  was  passed,  only  six  del- 
egates voting  against  it.  As  the  result  was  an- 
noun-'ed.  St:«nley  3Iatthews  and  Charles  Foster. 
who  have  J^een  carefully  watching  the  in- 
terest- of  th'-  Administration,  exchanged  con- 
jrralulatory  syiiles  and  then  sar  ba^k  in  their 
''hairs  with  a  i-elf -satisfied  aii-,  wLich  they  did 
E-"'t  attempr  to  conceal. 

FoHr.'Wtng  the  passage  of  the  resolution  came 
the  dvri^nation  t-f  members  to  serve  on  com- 
mittees. Gen.  Garfield  was  announced  as  ore 
of  the  tlel*»gares  to  frame  the  platform,  and  im- 
methately  hundreds  of  those  present  rose  to 
their  ^et-t  iind  cheered'  again  and  again.  This 
sj*onr:'-ni*-'U*^  and  hearty  outburst  must  he  noted 
ti.s  W'me'.vhrt*  significant,  when  it  is  remembered 
thai  Gaihvid  is  Matthews"  rival  for  the  United 
Statts  SvTjat'trsliip,  :tnd  That  he  does  not  fully 
!ndor.v>  the  Sonthem  policy  of  tiie  National 
Government. 

Af;»^r  the  .innouncement  of  the  committees 
Rni"!  rli.'  rransacrion  of  other  business  of  no  gen- 
eral iraptirt.'tnce,  the  convention  took  a  recess 
until  2  o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  At  the  hour 
named  it  was  announced,  amid  loud 
cheers,  that  Gt^.  Gariield  had  lieen  se- 
lected bv  the  Committee  on  Permanent 
Organisu'Lon  to  act  as  permanent  President.  As 
he  vrur--  cl^oa  member  of  the  Committee  on  Reso- 
lutions, and  could  not  for  the  moment  leave 
That  body.  Gen.  Gropvenor  continued  to  preside 
oyer  the  convention,  and  no  business  Ixriag  for 
rui:  moment  in  order  the  delegates  called  upon  a 
number  or'  prominent  persons  for  speeches.  Con- 
gressman Charles  Foster  was  the  fir^t'to  respond. 
He  sp.fke  very  Vrierly.  saying  sLmplT  thr.t  he 
thanked  the  ronvpuiion  for  calling  on  liim, 
and  hopt^d  :Jiat  the  delegates  would  con- 
tinue t.»  ibirk  as  warmly  of  ihe  President

honor  when  tLieir  brethren  , in  the  North  w^ere 
trying  to  defeslt  the  electoral  count.  This  Ref- 
erence was  loudly  applauded.  The  Republican. 
Party,  the  speaker  continued,  was  a  partyi  of 
peace  as  well  a$  of  war,  and  in  peace  it  was  its 
duty  to  secure  to  all  the  States  local  self- 
government,  it  was  also  its  duty,  however,  to 
see  that  the  Constitution  In  all  Its  pa^ts  iras 
fully  executed.:  Referring  to  the  President,  he 
intimated  that  though  he  and  others  might  lot 
agree  with  Ha^es  in  everything,  he  did  not,  ind 
no  one  cottld,  doubt  his  honesty  of-  htelp 
admiring  bis  f  courage.  He  concluded  by 
hoping  that  |  the  promise  regarding^  the 
honest  vote  ai^d  honest  money,  made  by  the 
National  RepiJblican  Convention  a.  yeai*  ago, 
would  be  keptjand  reaflinned  by  the  Republi-

At  the  concliision  of  this  address  it  was  agkin 
announced  thajt  the  Committee  <in  Resolutiins 
was  not  ready  to  report,  and  another  attempt 
was  made  to  have  the  rules  suspended  and  the 
nomination  of  candidates  proceeded  with. 
After  a  number  of  dilatorj'  motions  and  consid- 
erable excitement,  caused  by  the  frantic  efforts 
of  the  anti-Taft  men  to  prevent  a  ballot,  a  v^te 
was  had,  and '  371  delegates  declared  them- 
selves in  faror  of  proceeding  with  the 
nominations;  200  voted  against  the  motion, 
however,  and  a  >  it  required  a  two-thirds  vote  to 
suspend  the  niies,  the  majority  wa.s  of  course 
defeated.  Con  d  a  ballot  have  been  had  it  tiis 
point  there  is  |io  doubt  that  Judge  Taft.:wo:dd 
have  been  nominated. 

Hardly  had  the  defeat  of  the  second  attenjpt 
to  suspend  the  rules  been  announced,  however, 
when  it  was  reported  that  the  Committee  on 
Resolu^onsliaa  adjourned,  and  desired  to  pre- 
sent thb  resultb  of  their  labors  for  the  consid- 
eratioi^  of  the|  convention.  In  a  momeht  Ijhe 
meeting  came  i  to  order,  and  Mr.  Craighead.j  of 
Montgjmer\-.  read  the  following  platform':     I

person  of  Mr.- Cole,  of  Hamilton,  advanced  to 
the  attack,  and  declared  that  Mr.  Eggleston 
Was  not  authorised  to  speak  for  Judge  Taft. 
That  gentleman,  he  continued,  did  not 
want  the  nomination,  and  he  could  not  stand 
upon  the  platform  just  adopted,  for  he 
had  stated  to  him  [th  e  speaker]  that 
if  the  convention  indorsed  the  Isational 
Administration,  such  action  wouid  be 
most  embarrassing  to  him  in  the  campaign.  A 
delegate  from  Highland,  who  also  claimed  to  be 
a  warm  friend  of  Judge  Taft,  took  sides  with 
Mr.  Cole,  and  said  that  the  Judge  had  declared 
toihim  al.so  that  he  could  not  stand  upon  a  plat- 
form which  indorsed  the  Administration  of  Sir. 
Hayes. 

igi5tmng  all  this  debate  Major  Bickham  and 
others  were  actively  engaged  in  iirging  doubt- 
fid  delegates  to  vote  against  Taft,  declar- 
ing that  his  nomination  would  be  a  re- 
bijke  to  the  President,  and  that  it  would 
be  fatal  to  the  Republican  cause  -in 
Ohio  if  the  Administration  was  not 
heartily  indorsed.  While  this  per.sonal,  and, 
asjthe  event  proved,  efTeetive  work  was  going 
on|.  Gen.  Grosvenor  moved  tliat  the  nomina- 
tions be  closed.  This  was  carried,  and  amid 
great  excitement  the  first  ballot  w;is  taken. 
Sis  hundred  and  fifty-one  votes  were  cast  ;  132(3 
were  necessary  to  a  choice,  and  in  spite  of 
everything  that  was  said  against  him  ;  in 
spite  of  the  proof  which  had  been 
brjOught  of  his  opprf>sition  to  the  National  Ad- 
ministration, Judge  Taft  received  303  votes,  or 
only  23  less  than  the  number  necessary  to 
nominate  him.  The  next  candidate  on  the  list 
was  Judge  West,  and  on  the  second  ballot  the 
Cincinnati  delegation,  the  majority  of  which 
were  controlled  by  Stanley  Jlattliews.  broke 
aWay  from  Warner,  whom  they  had  been  sup- 
porting, and  went  50  strong  "to  West.  This 
secTired  his  nomination  and  defeated  Judge 
Taft.  The  second  and  final  b.dlot  was  as  tol-

Judge  West's  nomination  was  then  made 
tmanimous.  and  the  convention  proceeded  to  bal- 
lot for  Licutenant-ijovemor.  f-Vrdinand  Voeg- 
ler.  of  Hamilton,  was  nominated  amid  loud  ap- 
ph^use.  and  the  minor  State  ofiicers  were  se- 
lected rapidly  nnel  without  debate.  Judge  "West 
wfiis  then  introduced,  and  in  a  strong  speech  ii>- 
dorsed  the  platform  and  acceptetl  the  nomiua- 
tion.     The  convention  then  adjourned. 

Judge  William  PI.  West,  the  nomi''ee  for 
Gcfvemor,  L*  one  of  the  best  known  Kepnidicans 
in  I  Ohio.  He  has  lived  in  Logan  Countv 
for  a  long  time,  -and  by  his  l-r.-t- 
class  ability  as  a  public  spi-aker  h;is 
dupe  much  to  secure  the  success  of 
th"?  party  in  this  State.  He  is  a  distingiushed 
latryer,  and  has  ser\-ed  in  the  Legislature,  on 
the  Supreme  Bench,  aud  in  ("onstitniioral  (.'ou- 
vehtions.  His  eyesight  is  very  bad.  and  tlm 
opposition  take  great  delight  in  caUing  him

An   effort   v.'as  made  to  have 


Af  tf r  thv-^  ^remarks,  it  was  announced  that 
the  Comnii  ttee  on  Resolut  ions  would  not  be  ready 
to  report  for  t^'o  hours.  This  prevented  the 
tr^iusa'  tion  of  all  further  business. 'for  the  ndes 
^•hich  govemtd  the  convention  pro\*ided  ths".  a 
tl3tf.:<7m  should  be  adop*,i,-d  before  c.mdidates 
vere  halio^ed  frr.  To  cbviate  this  diffi- 
rultv,  Mr.  Lowe,  of  Montgomery,  move.d 
that  the  ruiesa  be  suspended  and  the 
pre5:enu:tion  of  the  names  ot*  candidates  be  pro- 
r?ed»-d  ^"ith.  This  gave  rise  lo  a  debate.  The 
naotion  w-is  favoie.i  by  those  who  desired  the 
aomination  of  Judge  Taft  for  the  Governor- 
ship. Those  who  were  against  him  op- 
posed it.  stating  pri-.  aely  that  the;.' 
hoped  the  jilaiform  to  b3  adopted  would 
w  strongly  indor'":e  Hayes  that  Taft.  who  is 
known  to  be  :'.n  opponent  of  the  Southern  poli- 
cy, cf'uld  not  stand  upon  it.  This  was  the 
•r.mmencemenr  of  the  fight  af/ainst  him.  It 
was  continued  to  the  end  by  an  organ- 
ized clique  led  by  3Iatthews.  That  gen- 
demau  desired  Tafr's  defeat  for  two 
reasons  :  Firf^t.  because  he  was  favored  by  Gen. 
Garfield,  and  >e'M>nd,  because  his  nomination 
would  have  been  generally  regarded,  in  this 
State  at  least,  as  a  rebuke  to  all  those  who 
entered  into  the  so-called  bargain  with  the 
f'Ontheru  Democracy.  The  clique  was  success- 
ful in  this  first  move,  and  the  motion  to  sus- 
pend :Ue  rub  s  and  proceed  with  the  nomina- 
lioKs  was  dtft-iited.  Another  recess  was  then 
taken. 

When  the  convention  again  assembled,  Gen. 
larfield  promprly  entered  and  deUvered  an  elo- 
quent audre.ss,  which  was  listened  to  with 
marked  atrc-ntion  and  frequently  interrupted  by 
ioud  ar-plaure.  Referring,  like  his  predeacessor. 
tt>  :ht  labor  troubles,  h^  rebuked  tho 
E-emocxats  for  their  attempt  in  the  Columbus 
Co:;vtu;.ion  to  make  political  capital  out  of 
tl;osl^  troTihies.  and  denounced  ruem  as  the 
real  opponents  of  working  men  and  of  free 
iflbor.  Id  doing  so,  he  referred  with  much  force 
to  the  fact  that  it  was  the  Democratic  Party 
that  for  generations  had  kept  one^fif th  of  the 
laborers  of  the  country  in  a  condition  of 
slaverv.  He  commended  the  40  Demo- 
cratic.    Conirres-smen    from    the   South     who 


them  voted  \ippn  one  by  one,  but  it  was  de- 
feated, and  at  la.st  the  entire  platform  was 
adopted  by  an  almost  unanimous  vote.  %  The 
laV>or  plank  wals  objected  to  by  many  of  the 
best  men  in  the*  party,  and  woTild  have  been  de- 
feated cov'.ld  it  have  been  voted  upf»n  separ^ilely. 
Dofore  the  adoption  t)f  the^  platform  a  dcter- 
mined  effort  was  made  by  one  or  two  of  the 
delegates  to  have  a  plank' inserted  in  it  whijch 
should  pledge  the  party  to  the  support  of  (legis- 
lation for  the  taxation  of  church  property,  bur 
it  was  defeated  by  an  over-vhelming  votp.  and 
then,  amid  almost  breathless  silence.  Gen.  (iar- 
.  field  announced  that  the  '•invention  w.as  re;;.dy 
to  nominate  a  candidate  for  CJovernor. 

Ben  Egc^ieston.  of  Cincinnati,  wa^  the  fitst  |to 
obtain  tlie  floor^  and  with  that  wonderful  flow 
oi  speech  and  earnestness  of  manner  fpr  which 
he  is  noted,  notiiihated  Judge  Alphon.so 'TaTt. 
The  no]n:nati(jn  was'  greeted  with  loud  aid 
long  continued  cheers,  and  then  am  id 
much  noise  and!  confusion,  commenced  the  it- 
rack,  which  had  previously  been  arranged  >y 
the  friends  of  S^^-r^-i^'y  Matthews  and  the  Ad- 
ministration. Major  Bickham.  of  Daytoii — tie 
ever-faithful  Bickham — who  says  ho  will -stand 
by  Hayes  to  the  last,  took  command  of  the 
anti-Taft  forces.  and  urged  by  him, 
Lowe.  of  I)a\ton.  obtained  the  flf  or 
and  said  that  before  proceeding  further  be  ce- 
sired  to  know  if  Judpe  Taft  was  in  harmony 
with  ^Ir.  Hayes,  and  if  he  indorsed  %\9, 
Administration.  There  was.  for  the '  njo- 
ment.  no  answer  to  this  question,  except  I  a 
storm  of  cheers  and  hisses.  Mr.  Craighead, 
of  Hamilton,  then  nominated  Judge  West,  lof 
Bellefontaine.  Logan  County,  and  Mr.  Price,  |of 
Logan,  obtaining  the  floor  immediately  after- 
ward, rather  threw  cold  water  on  the  West 
movement  by  nominating  Judge  Lawrence,  also 
of  Belief  on  taine.  Then  the  war  on  Taft  was 
again  commenced  by  Mr.  Sage,  of  Warren,  who 
declared  that  he  was  one  of  his  best 
fr-tn  is,  and  all  that  sort  of  thing.  He  produced 
and  read  a  letter  from  the  Judge,  in  which  he 
declared  that  he  did  not  desire  and  would 
not  accept  the  nomination.  "  Oh,  that's 
nothing.''  cried  one  enthusiastic  dele- 
gate. -'Judge  Taft  has  changed  his  mind 
certainly."  exclaimed  another  amid  loud  laugh- 
ter. *'  ju.st  as  Hayes  did  two  years  ago."  When 
order  was  restoi;ed.  Mr.  Sage  continued,  and 
referring  to  the  question  asked  by  the  gentle- 
man from  Dayton,  said  that  he  had  talked  with 
Judge  Taft  ujwn  this  very  subject 
of  indorsing  President  Hayes  and  hta 
Administration,  and  that  the  Judge  had  Isaid 
to  him  significantly  that  he  did  not  care  to  talk 
much  about  the  niatter.  but  that  he  would  talk 
plainly  if  he  was  forced  into  it  At  this  point 
S.  S.  Warner,  of  Wellington,  was  nominated, 
and  then  Mr.  Eggleston  came  to  the  front  of 
tlie  platform  and  said  that  in  answer  to  the 
questions  regarding  Judge  Taft,  he  could  say 
that  he  was  a  Republican  to  the  core;  a  Repub- 
lican who  was  ready  to  go  into  the  cam- 
paign as  he  had  always  done,  to  fighjt 
night  and  day  for  the  old  cause. 
He  did  not  seek  the  nomination  for 
Governor,  he  did  not  want  it,  but  if  called  npon 
he  woidd  be  ready  to  indorse  and  stand  upon 
any  platform  which  might  be  constrticted 
by  the  party  in  which  all  his  faith 
was  centred.  This  speech  evidently 
had  its  effect  upon  the  few  friends 
of  Taft  who  were  also  desirotis  of  giving  anj  out- 
and-out  indorsement  to  Hayes,  and  to  connter-

ClXCiNKATl.  Aug.  1.— The  Cleveland  nom- 
inations give  the  utmost  satisfaction  in  the 
Soi^thern  portion  of  the  State.  Judi;e  West,  the 
candidate  for  Governor,  is  recognized  as  one  of 
the  very  ablest  men  in  Ohio.  Ue  has  never  been 
prominent  in  politics,  but  his  published  writings 
on  financial  and  political  tonies.  hftve  ?hown  him 
to  possess  tho  highest  order  of  ability.  His 
memory  is  so  remarkable  that  in  practising 
at  the  Bar  ho  had  no  difiiculty  in  (^luoting 
authorities,  and  even  referrins  to  the  section 
and  pai^e.  He  is  one  of  the  most  elotpicnt  and 
forcible  speakers  in  the  State.  Mr.  Vocgler, 
the  candidate  for  Lieut6narit-Gow>rnor,  is  a 
Cincinnati  lawyer  of  high  standing,  and  verj- 
popular  with  the  GeiTTians.  Judp-e  StalU*.  it  i^

to  entertain  such  a  motion  as  that.  The  Dis-

could  compel  him  to  parform  an  official  act 
for  the  ITnited  Staltes  in  reference  to  a  matter 
of  this  Mnd.  He  thought  the  court  might  enter 
an  I  order  to  the  |  effect  that  the  United  States 
should  enter  its  appearance  in  ^-this  case,  and 
plead,  answer,  or  demur,  and  a  copy  of  tho  order

they  would  take  'default  against  them  or  not. 
The  court  wks  of  opinion  that  if  the  Govern- 
ment did  not  enter  its  appearance  and  the

the  Govemrbent  had  entered  the  arena  as  a

The  Daily  Xeio^  corrfespondent,  telegraphing 
from  Bulgareni,  ^^i  miles  east  of  Plevna,  gives 
a  detailed  accounjl  of  the  fighting  of  Monday. 
The  Turkish  force  Vas  estimated  at  50,000. 
They  occupied  a  series  of  positions  which  are 
naturally  strong,  -and  also  artifi<^ally  fortified  in 
every  available  6|>oi^,  forming  a  horseshoe  in 
front  of  Flevius  with  bothifianks  restiii£  on  the 


River  Vid.  The  Russian  force  consisted  of  the 
Ninth  Army  Corps,  nnder  Gen.  Kmdener, 
the  Thirtieth  Division,  and  Thirtieth 
Brigade  of  th©  Second  Division,  under 
Prince  Schackosky,  with  three  brigades 
of  cavalry,  and  160  gtins.  It  was 
arranged  that  Gen.  Krudener  should  attack 
the  Turkish  centre  at  Grivica  and  the 
northern  flank  of  the  intarenched  position 
over  Rahova,  while  Schackosky  attacked 
Radizvo,  and  Gen.  Skobeleff,  Jr.,  held  in 
check  a  strong  Turkish  force  at  Looca. 
which  was  the  extremity  of  the  Turkish 
Une.  Gen.  Krudener  began  the  battle  about 
9:30  o'clock.  After  a  long  bombardment  he 
succeeded  in  silencing  the  Turkish  cannon  at 
Grivica,  but  could  never  expel  the  infantry 
from  the  earthworks.  He  spent  the  whole 
af tpmoon  unavailingly  endeavoring  to  force  the 
northern  flank  of  the  Turkish  ^sition,  de- 
sisting, after  dark,  without  having  gained 
anything  material,  and  having  himself 
suffered  considerable  loss.  Prince  bchackosky 
about  noon  carried  Radizovo,  and,  planting  four 
batteries  on  a  ridge  beyond,  bombarded  the 
nearest  Turkish  position,  which-  wajs  an  earth- 
woi-k  armed  with  cannon  in  front  of  an  in- 
trenched village.  After  an  hoitr's  cannon- 
nade  he  silenced  the  Turkish  guns, 
and  his  infantry,  after  a  long  and  bloody 
contest,  carried  '  the  earthwork  and  village. 
The  second  Turkish  position,  consisting  of  a  re- 
doubt and  a  series  of  intrenched  vineyards 
strongly  held,  was  then  attaeked  and  ultimately 
carried^bnt  with  a  tenible  efl^ort  and  very  severe 
loss,  owing  to  the  heavy  Turkish  artillery 
fire.  The  Russians,  moreover,  were  unable  to 
utilize  the  captured  position.  About  4  o'clock 
a  reserve  brigade  was  brought  up  and  an  attack 
made  on  the  positions  immediately  cover- 
ing Plevna.  The  attack  continued 
till  nearly  sunset.  The  Turkish  infantry  was  in 
great  force  in  a  continuous  line  under  shelter  of 
trenches.  Despite  the  most  stubborn  eflfort.s  no 
impression  could  be  made  upon  that  line. 
Two  companies  of  Russian  infantry  did 
work  round  to  the  right  of  tlie 
Turki  sh  trench  es,  and  entered  the 
town  of  Plevna ;  but  it  was  impossible  to  ht.ld 
it.  The  Russian  batteries  pushed  boldly  forward 
into  the  position  first  taken  to  attempt  to  keep 
down  the  Turkish  cannonade,  which  was  crash- 
ing into  the  infantry  in  the  open  field,  but  they 
were  compelled  soon  to  evacuate  the  hazardous 
spot.  At  sundowri  the  Turka  made  a  continu- 
ous forward  movement  .■'  and  reoccupied 
their  seconfl  position.  The  Russian  -in- 
fantr}'  made  a  succession  of  desperate  stand?;, 
and  died  like  heroes.  The  Turks  gradually 
retook  everything  they  had  lost.  The  fignting 
la.sted  long  after  nightfall.  With  the  darkness 
the  Basbi-Bazouks  took  possession  of  the 
battle-field  and  slew  all  wounded.  Tho 
Russians  held  the  heights  above  Radizevo, 
but  the  Bashi-Bazotiks  worked  around  to  their 
rear  and  fell  on  the  wounded  collected  in  the 
Village  of  Radizevo.  A  retreat  was  cornntlled 
in  this  direction,  namely.  Bulgaria,  and  the 
contingencies  resulting  from  this  untoward 
battle  are  of  ominous  significance. 

The  Telffjrnph's  special,  dated  Widdin.  Aug. 
L  reports  that  Osman  Prfsha  is  waiting  for  re- 
inforcements before  makit;g  a  forward  niov*'- 
ment.  The  Russians  have  requested  leave  to 
bury  their  dead. 

The  Bucharest  correspondent  of  the  Times 
send**  the  following  dated  Aug.  1  ; 
•*  Th«»re  was  a  panic  in  Simnitza  last 
night,  caused  by  the  arrival  of  a  few 
Cossacks  at  Sistova,  who  .*<aiil  the  Turks 
were  closely  following.  The  people  of 
Sistova  thereupon  rushed  en  j/iasse  across  to 
Simnitza,  followed  by  the  ('ossacks,  who  tied 
iM-yojid.  On  the  road  they  came  upon  a  convoy 
of  Russsian  transport-wagons,  and  spread 
panic  among  the  drivers,  who.  len\-ing  their 
cltarge  ran  in  all  directions.  This  morning 
order  was  restored  by  the  arrival  of  a  large 
number  of  prisoners  at  Sij*tova.  said  to

Vienna,  Aujt.  1. — The  papers  herf  unan- 
imously announce  that  yesterday's  council  did 
not  deride  in  favor  of  either  general  or  partial 
mobilization.  C<^iuiit  Andrassy,  whose  poliey 
was  entirely  approved,  was  empowered  to  take 
measures  for  the  eventual  strengthening  of  the 
troops  already  eehelonnetl  along  the  southern 
frontier.  The  Gibinet  also  discussed  the  cost, 
estimated  at  about  1^0,000.000  florins,  of  mo- 
bilizing four  divisions  for  reinforcing  th<^ 
troops  on  the  frontier,  should  that  measure  bo 
determined  upon. 

Tl«'  Political  Corresp^ynfJcnce  denies  the  state-

had  asked  for  explanations  from  the  Russian 
Government  regarding  the  co-operation  of  Ron- 
mania  in  the  war.

A  note  reeeived  by  the  Russian  Secretary  of

London*,  Aug.  2. — A  Times  dispatch  from . 
Therapia,  dated  July  31,  says  Gen.  Sir  Col- 
lingwood.  Dickson  starts  immediately  to  inspect 
the  fortifications  at  Gallipoli. 

The  TiniM'  Bucharest  correspondent  tele- 
graphs that  an  official  report  from  Belgrade 
states  there  is  considerabki  activity  there  in 
militarj'  circles.  The  Skuptschina  is  holding 
secret  sessions  daily,  in  view  of  the  probability 
of  Servia  joining  in  the  present  campaign  at  an 
early  date. 

The  Xetrs'  Vienna  dispatch  says :  '"  It  is  now 
certain  that  the  Roumanian  Regular  Army  of 
50.000  is  about  to  cross  the  Danube,  partly  at 
Girla,  below  Widdin,  and  partly  opposite  Ra- 
hova. Bridge-building  material  has  already 
been  floated  to  both  places." 

The  Siand(Z7-d's  Vienna  correspondent  states 
that  Midhat's  recall  to  Constantinople  was  coun-

THE  TURKS  AXD  RIFLE   C'OXTRACTS. 

BEHINDHAND  WITH  THE  MONEY  TO  PAY  ONE 
OF  THEIR  AMERICAN  MANUFACTURERS — 
CLOSING  OP  THE  FACTORT. 

Providence,  R.  L,  Aug.  1.— The  an- 
nouncement was  made  to-day  that  the  entire 
establishment  of  the  Providence  Tool  Company, 
including  the  main  works  and  the  branch 
concern,  had  shut  down  work  for  the 
present  on  account  of  a  diffictilty  with 
the  Turkish  Government  in  regard  to 
the  payment  of  the  Martini-Peabody  .m^cs — 
which  the  company  are  making.  No  previous 
intimation  had  been  given,  and  the  employes 
of  the  tool  coDipany  and  the  public  were 
quitesujprised  at  this  sudden  cessation  of 
business  in  the  loiddle  of  the  week.  Inquiry 
at  the  works  reTeaJs  tha  fact   that  the  com- 


pany  have  been  for  some  weeks  unable  to 
obtain  money  from  Turkey  for  arms  manufac- 
tured and  ready  to  be  turned  over  to  the  officers 
of  the  Ottoman  Government,  ana  under  the  cir- 
cumstances deem  it  prudent  to  stop  operations 
until  the  money  is  forthcoming. 

The  original  contract  with  Tin-key  for  rifles 
was  for  600,000.  Over  400.000  rifles  have 
been  made  and  paid  for,  and  there  remains  up- 
ward of  150,000  to  complete  it.  The  tast 
of  rifles  the  company  retains  in  its  pos- 
session and  will  not  let  them  go,  until 
it  sees  the  Turkish  funds.  Aa  the 
comoany  is  suffering  under  financial  em- 
barrassment its  credit  is  not  large  and 
it  is  not  disiwsed  to  tahe  any  additional  risks. 
The  works  an*  therefore  stopped,  and  the  sev- 
eral hundred  employes  discharged  until  the  dif- 
ficulty shall  be  over.  The  company  have  re- 
cently arranged  all  its  July  paj-ments,  and  ceases 
operations  now  before  it  becomes  Involved  in 
liability-  for  this  month.  The  payments  for  the 
rifles  have  beeh  regular,  until  recently,  and  ar- 
rangements may  be  made  in  a  day  or  two  so  that' 
the  payments  will  continue,  and  then  the  works 
will  .start  at ;  on  tho  other  hand,  no  more  money 
may  be  obtained  from  the  Turks,  and  in  that 
case  Tool  Company  will  look  around  for  another 
cvstomer  for  its  rifles,  and  failing  to  find  one, 
may  have  to  give  up  business  altogether.  The 
rifles  have  given  great  satisfaction  to  the  Turks, 
and  the  hitch  in  rarr\"ing  out  the  contraet  is 
so'.'dy  due  to  the  flnaneial  pressure  under  which 
Turkey  1<  laboring  at  present.  i

CixciNNATi,  Ohio,  Aug.  1. — Henry  County, 
Ky..  is  in  a  ferment  over  the  conduct  of  one 
of  its  prominent  citizens,  who  became  dis 
satisfied  with  tlie  action  of  the  courts  and  defied 
them.  "  Tom  "  Buford.  lately  a  candidate  for 
the  lii-gi-slature,  and  brother  of  Gen.  *'  Abe  " 
Buf<»rd,  bought  a  large  f. arm  about  eight  years 
a;ro  fur  $^J2.000.  He  paid  $21,000  on  it,  but 
was  unable  to  pay  the  remaining  $11,000.  He 
was  sued,  the  case  was  decided  against  him. 
and  the  property  sold  for  .$15,000,  not 
enongli  to  satisfy  the  debt  and  interest. 
Buford  was  enraged,  and  on  Monday 
v,-h.-n^  the  Sheriff  went  to  take  possession, 
opjM)sed  him  with  an  armed  force.  Seeing  that 
an  attempt  to  enforce  his  authority  would  inev- 
iialily  result  in  bhxtdshed.  the  Sheriff  drew  off. 
Afterward  he  conclvided  to  besiege  Buford  in 
his  house,  and  after  two  days  the  latter  surren- 
d'-red,  agre<dng  that  the  Sheriff  should  hold  the 
pro])erty  subject  to  the  decision  of  the  Court  of 
Appeals;  Buford.  who  has  seen  his  fortune 
nu-lt  away  in  tlie  courts,  is  as  defiant  as  the

so  would  in  no  manner  come  under  the  proscrip-

ScRAXTOX,  Penn.,  An?:.  1.— Early  this 
morning  all  the  strikers  who  had  not  accepted 
the-  terms  of  their  employers — the  Dela-war^, 
Lackawanna  and  "Westem  Railroad  Company, 
Lackawanna  Iron  and  Coal  Company,  and  Dick^ 
son  ManufacturingCorapany — by  mutual  nndr-fv 
standing  assembled  in  the  vicinity  of  the  s*Jfc 
factory,  about  three  miles  down  the  valley. 
"While  there  convened  a  baud  of  Iiard  cbarac  ;erg 
from  Taylorvillo  and  Lackawa'nna  met  Ihe-m 
and  inflamed  tlieir  minds  with  shouts  of  riotous 
intentions.  Tlie  united  bands  then  pnv 
ceedcMl  to  t>vo  or  thre*?  stores, '  'and 
after  gntting  them  attentinted  to  bum  ^hem. 
They  then  organized  thvmseii-es  -  into  two 
bands,  one  of  which  procet^ded  to  th<5  bhist 
furnaces,  and  the  other  to  the  foi:n<lr}-  and  raa^ 
chine  shop  of  the  Lackawantia  Iron  and  Coal 
Company,  at  wliich  places  a  pf»rt;ion  <>f  xho  men 
had  returned  to  work.  Th»'  advancing  partiea 
were  composed  of  raalconti-nts  and  •'hoodiuius,'' 
whose  avowed  int<?ution  w.-is  to  drive  tlieir  f«*l- 
low-workmen  from  their  jwsis.  They  were 
armed  with  cudg<ds  and  revolvers,  and  suc- 
ceeded in  their  obje<~t,  by  the  combined  in- 
fluence of  thn^at-s  and  blows.  The  two  sqnrida 
then  marched  direct  to  the  ext/*n>ive  car  shoya 
of  the  Delaware,  Lack.twanna  and  \Vesxt  m 
Railroad  Company,  when*  they  ea-dly 
induced  most  of  the  workman  to^fctoji  work  i:a- 
mediately.  A  few  lingered,  h<rtv*-ver,  and  the 
"hoodlums"  then  gri:w  violi»nt,  and:  aft»:r 
scouring  about  the  shops,  thn*atened  to  besiege 
and  fire  the  office.  They  aiso  assaiilt-tfd  a  num- 
ber of  workmen,  firing  so  vt^al  shots  and  freely 
using  their  clubs  on  the  hoads  and  shijnlders  of 
the  unarmed  and  peaconble  f»Jlows.  Alrbouir!t 
no  one  is  thought  to  be  dangemus'.y  wounded, 
several  received  verj'  painful  bruises,  and  ono 
or  two  serious  ones. 

News  of  this  melee  soon  rear-hofl  Mayat 
McKune,  who  at  onc<-'  hastened  to  the  sctioe. 
His  arrival  was  the  signal  for  a  gt-neral  attack, 
and  but  for  tho  interposition  of  F.itiier  Dunn,  tk 
Catholic  priest,  he  would  jirubably  have  been 
killed.  He  escaped  witli  a  ^-onipound  fracture 
of  the  jaw,  and  the  priest  was  kn.tcked  down 
^vith  a  club,  but  not  striou>ly  injured.  The 
combined  force^s  of  strikers  and  their  abettors 
then  proceeded  e>i  tmisse  up  "Wrishinj^ton  to 
Lackawanna-avenue.  with  lh»'  iutt-nlion  cither 
of  continuing  their  intimidation  on  the  Dickson 
Manufacturing  Company's  employes  or  of  cut- 
ting the  -Stores  on  Main-street.  Meanwhilo. 
Mayor  JIcKune  had  ordered  out  thr*  only  amie;l

who.  anticipating  trouble,  have  Ix'cn  guardijig 
the  large  stores  of  tho  Lackaw.anna  Iron  and 
Coal  Company  for  the  piisL  week.  Justasth*) 
rioters  reached  tlie  main  str*-et  some  iiii  or  4t> 
of  the.se  volunteers,  armed  with  rifles,  and  led 
by  W.  W.  Seranton.  <  lent  ral  Manager  of  tho 
Lackawanna  Imn  and  Coal  ( 'iimpany.  arrived  at 
the  comer.  The  sight  of  thr-  scddiers  was  all 
that  was  nocessessary  lo  give  ri<o  to  a.  riot,  and 
a  number  of  boys  and  yttung  men  at  <ture  biild- 
ly  assaulted  the  rear  of  lb-.*  c<j:u;.any  '.rilU  chilis. 
Added  to  this,  the  rioters  commenced  throw- 
ing stones  and  clubs  from  theif  side  of 
the  street.  The  volunteers  immediately  wheeletl 
and  fired  in  various  directions  in  ibn-e  volleys. 
Tlie  rioters  and  spectators  were  dispersed  like 
the  wind,  and  the  company  returned  unmo- 
lested to  their  quarters  in  th*-  Lackawanna  Iron 
and  Coal  Company's  store,  two  blocks  disnmt. 
Three  men  were  instantly  kilh-d  by  ilif-  charg>.% 
all  of  them  being  litendly  cut  to  i»ic.ces  by  ibo

an  ugly  wound  continued  to  use  hi.s  authori- 
ty, immeiliately  issued  the  following  on!er. 
which  was  posted  conspicuously  on  tlj.;  princi-

they  will  take  the  place  of  the  regulars,  who 
will  go  to  Scranton.  The  Seventh  Regiment, 
CoL  Caldwell,  which  has  been  on  dnty  at  ^e 
Arsenal  in  this  city,  went  to  the  Scranton  i^gion 
to-day.  The  Fourth  Keiriment>-  Gen.  Prank 
Reeder,  took  the  place  of  the  Seventh  at  the 
Arsenal.  The  Foxnth  is  the  regiment  which 
settled  the  mob  at  Reading.  The  First  Division, 
National  Gnard  of  Pennsylvania,  with  ,  Gen. 
Brinton,  including  the  First  Regiment, 
arrived  in  this  city  this  afternoon 
on  the  way  home,  as  Its  members 
fondly  hoped,  and  as  its  friends 
in  Philadelphia  supposed.  The  division  re- 
mained in  the  depot  in  this  city  25. minutes, 
bur  that  time  wrecsed  the  hopes  of  the  mem- 
bers and  their  anxious  friends  in  Philadelphia, 
who  were  busily  en^ged  in  preparinj?  a  grand 
demonstration  for  the  men  who  received]  their 
•'baptism  of  fire"  in  the  smoky  city  on  SuJaday, 
July  22.  During  the  brief  halt  here  telegraphic 
orders  were  received  from  Gov.  Hartranft,  froTa 
his  head-quarters  on  the  road,  near  Pitts^ur^, 
to  send  the  gallant  First  to  Scranton.  Although 
sorelv  disappointed,  the  men  submitted  to  the 
change  of  programme  without  a  murmur,  and 
departed  for  the  new  field  of  duty  with  a  de- 
N-rminatlon  to  sustain  their  reputation  at  all 
bazanls. 

It  is  asserted  that  Gov.  Hartranft  will: give 
the  campaign  in  the  coal  region  his  personal 
supervifiion.  It  is  certain  that  the  strikers  will 
be  .summarily  dealt  with.  The  destruction  of 
property  has  been  great,  and  no  mercy  will  be 
ehown  the  ringleaders. 

A  number  of  rioters  under  arrest  in  this  city 
had  a  heai-ing  to-day  in  the  prison.  About  half 
of  those  in  custody  were  held  in  default  of  bail 
and  the  remainder  will  be  given  a  hearing  to- 
morrow. One  of  the  number  turned  S*»t*'s 
evidence  to^iay,  and  his  evidence  will  go  far  to 
convict  the  other«». 

The  Law  and  Order  Regiment,  about  1,000 
Ftrong.  and  consistine  of  the  best  citizens  of 
the  town,  commanded  by  the  Sheriff  of  the 
county,  made  a  short  parade  this  evening,  after 
which  it  was  disbanded,  to  reassemble  at  a  given 
signal  if  occasion  required.  Before  the  regi- 
ment was  dismissed,  tlio  SheriflP  made  a  short 
speech,  -  tendering  the  thanks  of  the  people 
of  the  city  had  county  for  the  promptness 
and  effectiveness  of  their  service.  He  also  in- 
formed the  command  that  President  Kennedy, 
of  the  Cumberland  Valley  Road,  had  tendered 
to  the  regiment,  through  him,  an  excursion  to 
auy.  point  on  that  road,  in  return  for  the  service 
rt'nrlprod  by  it  in  guarding  the  road  and  bridges 
The  Mayor  of  the  city  also  made  a  brief  speech, 
•^fter  which  the  command  was  paraded  and  dis- 
missed.

W'-^re  stationed  on  the  platform  to  watch  them. 
The  traia  wa.s  backed  bulow  the  depot,  and,  un- 
der a  full  bead  of  steam,  shot  past  the  strikers. 
i>ome  of  thera  attempted  to  board  it,  but  failed. 

A  crowd  of  6,000  or  7.000  people  assembled

face  with  a  •*tone.  The  strikers  cheered,  mounted 
trie  engine,  cut  it  loose,  and  ran  it  to  Sugar 
Nutch.  Jolia  Keithler.  the  constable,  was  seized 
by  the  mob  and  roughly  handled.  They  were 
^C"ing  to  duck  him  in  the  canal,  and  would  have

Philadslphl\,  Penn.,  Aug,  1. — ^Those 
who  have  their  money  invested  in  Pennsylvania 
liailroad  stock  here  have  been  made  to  feel  the 
consequences  of  the  strike  in  a  manner 
not  at  all  appreciated,  and  which  has 
called  forth  anything  but  praise  for  the 
managers  of  the  roa^l.  On  the  1st  of 
May  last  the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Board 
of  Managers  declared  that  the  dividends  for 
the  coming  fiscal  year  shotild  be  reduced  firom 
8  per  cent,  to  6  per  cent,  *  divided 
into  4uarterly  payments  of  l^a  P«r  cent. 
To-day  was  the  time  for  the  declaration 
of  the  dividend  for  this  quarter.  The 
Finance  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
met  and  unaoimously  passed  a  resolutioa  that 
it  was  inexpedient  to  declare  tho  nsoal  dividend 
at  this  tifse,  on  account  of  the  losses  sostftined 
1^  the  compmny  by  the  depredations 
of  the  mob  at  Httsburp,  and.  &e  loss- 
of  business  which  has  been  sustained. 
An  Intimation  that  this  wotdd  be  done  waa 
given  out  yesterday,  but  the  stockholders  hoped 
aninat  fate,  and  Wt  It  is  stated  on  trust- 
worthy authority  that  the  company  had 
the  money  In  cash  to  pay  the  dividend, 
but  in  view  of  thP  large  sum  which 
It  will  be  necaaaury  £0  expend  to  replaoa  their 


deemed  prudent  to  husband  their  resoorcee  and 
applv  any  surplus  which  may  accrue  to  replac- 
ing tne  company  on  a  sotmd  footing  Miin,  no% 
however,  hinting  that  it  Is  implied  farther 
than  The  losses  sustained  in  the  "Smoky  City." 
Whether  there  will  be  any  more  dividends  this 
year  is  a  q  uestion  for  future  consideration,  but 
the  outlook  is  extremely  doubtful 

In  consequence  of  this  announcement,  the' 
stock  of  tho  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company 
toached  th»  lowest  point  which  it  hu 
yet  reached,  sales  being  made  at  as  low 
figures  as  24%  per  share.  Not  quite 
»  year  ago  it  sold  for  48,  50,  And  52. 
When  compared  with  the  stodcs  of  the  other 
'great  trunk  lines,  it  shows  the  lowest  price,  as 
against  J>5  for  New-York  Central,  and  89  even 
for  Baltimore  and  Ohio.  The  largest  percentage 
of  Pennsylvan^  stocks  is  held  in  Philadelphia, 
and  the  inconvenience  arising  from  this  passing 
of  ^the  dividend  will  be  wide-spread  among  the 
large  holders  and  with  the  consequent  deprecia- 
tion, will  no  donbt  cause  a  large  amount  of  it  to 
be  thrown  on  the  market

FoRT  Wayne,  Ind.,  Aug.  1. — Tfeie  strik&rs 
had  been  in  negotiation  to-day  imtn  this  after- 
noon, through  a  committee,  with  Assistant  Gen- 
eral Manager  Gorham,  who  came  from  Chicago 
last  night  to  meet  them.  A  meeting  was  held 
at  2  P.  M.,  and  a  resolution  adopted  that  the 
strike  would  be  continued  until  all  the!  conces- 
sions demanded  of  the  railway  company  were 
made.  An  announcement  that  regular  troops 
would  arrive  to-night,  however,  caused  a  change 
to  come  over  the  spirit  of  their  dreams, 
and  after  listening  to  an  address  friom  Sheriff 
Mnnson,  who  announced  th^at  to-inorrow  tho 
law  would  be  enforced  at  all  hazards, 
and  the  railroad  company  given  back 
its  property.  Another  committee  was 
appointed  who  consulted  with  Assistant  General 
Manager  Gorham.  He  assured  them  that  if  they 
would  return  to  work  to-ni»ht  he  would  use 
every  effort  in  his  power  to  have  their  griev- 
ances redressed ;.  and  also  promised  that 
no  man  slioiUd "  bo  discharges  because  of 
his  striking.  Upon  the  strength  of 
these  assurances  the  strikers  decided, 
by  small  majority,  to  return  to  work.  Most  of 
them  have  reported  for  duty,  and  trains  have 
already  begun  to  move. 

The  shops  of  this  company  will  reopen  to- 
morrow. The  public  is  mghly  gratified  over 
the  turn  affairs  have  taken,  especially  as  tho 
military  would  have  been  here  to-morrow  and 
serious  trouble  probably  have  taken  place. 

It  was  expected  that  a  conference  would  have 
taken  place  to-day  between  a  committee  repre- 
senting the  canal-boat  men  strikers,  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  canal,  and  Presidents  of  the  several 
mining  companies  in  tho  coal  regions  of  Jlary- 
land,  in  regard  to  difficulries  existing  and  tho 
demands  of  tho  strikers  that  freicbts  on  coal  be 
increased  to  $  1  per  ton  from  Cumberland  to  tide- 
water. ThecommitteemetMr,  Gorman. President 
of  the  canal,  but  no  XVesidonts  of  the  coal  compa- 
nies were  there,  they  having  declined  to  be 
present  on  account  of  the  recent  burning  of  the 
steam  canal-boat  at  Dam  Xo-  t>.  It  was  under- 
stood that  th©  Presidents  would  not  treat  with 
the  committee  until  the  burning  was  disclaimed 
and  denounced  and  the  blockade  opened.

CONDUCTOR  AND   BRAKEilAN  'WOCNDED — 
A  GENERAL  BREAK  AMONG  THE  STRIKERS 
CAUSED  BY  THE  MOVEMENT  OF  TRAINS. 
Special  Dispatch  to  the  Xew-  York  Tfmes. 

Baltimore,  Aug.  1 . — A  dispatch  from 
Keyser  says  tbat  a  train  of  coal  cars  left  there  this 
morning  for  Piodninut.  As  it  reached  Red  Rock 
Spring,  four  miles  we.st  of  Keyser,  some  strikers 
fired  a  volley  into  it  from  the  Maryland  side  of 
the  Potomac.  A  bullet  passed  through  the  cab 
of  the  locomotive  and  narrowly  missed  tho  en- 
gineer, Oliver  Morris.  After  the  engine  had 
passed,  shots  were  fired  at  the  caboose  at  the 
end  of  the  train.  M.  L.  Paskell,  conductor, 
and  John  Caldwell,  brakeman,  were  sit- 
ting in  the  doorway  of  the  icaboose. 
The  former  was  struck  in  j  the  left 
wrist  by  a  bullet,  and  the  latter  was  shot'  through 
the  hip,  both  being  light  flesh  wounds.  There 
were  no  troops  on  the  train,  which  proceeded  to 
Piedmont  without  further  interruption.  AVhen 
the  engine  started  from  there  to  return  to  Key- 
ser, a  guard  of  regulars  was  placed  on  it,  and  it 
came  back  unmolested.  A  detachment  was  sent 
to  the  scene  of  the  shooting  to  hunt  for  the 
criminals,  but  in  that  wild  country  it  |  will  bo 
very  difiicult  to  catch  them. 


iHspateti  to  th^  jitsociated  Prtn. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  1. — The  Hun  has  the 
following  from  Keyser.  West  Va.:  **  The  move- 
ment of  trains  over  this  division  has  caused  a 
general  break  among  the  strikers,  and  thov  are 
now  constantly  coming  in  and  asking  to  bn  set 
to  work.  The  opening  of  this  divLsioa 
will  hare  a  great  moral  effect  on  the 
strikers  along  the  entire  line  of  tho  Bul- 
timore  and  Ohio  Hallroad.  The  strikers  have 
always  said  that  ever>-  other  division  raight 
give  way,  but  that  trains  could  never  be  sent 
safely  over  thi^s  division.  No  doubt  a  portion 
of  the  disaffected  element  would  countenance 
violence  to  tho  trains,  but  the  railnwwi  company 
will  take  extreme  precautions.  For  tho  present 
no  trains  will  be  sent  out  at  nisht.  on  account  of 
the  accident  by  the  misplacedswitch  on  Monday 
night.  Mr.  Keyser  this  morning  gave  $r>t)eurb. 
as  promised,  to  the  mnn  who  took  tho 
trains  from  Tirafton.  The  fin>t  of  the  convoy  of 
frelgbts  which  left  Grafton  this  morning  ar- 
ri*ved  here  safely  at  12:30  P.  M.  Lane,  the  man 
who  first  boarded  the  engine  on  Sunday  night 
to  take  off  tho  fireman,  was  arretted  by  the 
Sheriff  to-day  at  the  instance  of  the  railroad 
ofElcials.  He  was  placed  in  charge  of  a  deputy, 
and  in  passing  his  boar«^ling-ho«se  was  permitted 
to  go  in  to  dinner,  and  escaped  through  the 
kitchen. 

THE  RECENT  BALTIMORE  RIOT. 

COKTnrUATIOX  of     the  coroner's  nfQUEST 

— MOUE  contradictory,  testimont— 
several  reporters  examined. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  1.— The  testimo- 
ny in  the  inquest  on  the  bodies  of '  Thomas 
Byrne  and  others,  killed  near  the  Sixth  Regi- 
ment Armory  on  the  night  of  July  20,  was  re- 
sumed this  morning.  Among  the  witnesses  ex- 
amed  were  reporters  of  the  ShyIj  Gazettf,  and 
American^  all  of  whom  were  present  and  saw 
the  commencement : 

David  Doblor  testified  that  he  was  on  the  comer  of 
Front  and  Fayette  streets;  saw  firing  from  the  win- 
dows and  dowuyihe  stairs  of  the  armory ;  stood  there 
from  5:30  to  8:30  P.  M.;  the  first  act  was  that  of 
three  young  men,  who  followed  a  soldier,  abusing 
him ;  be  said  ho  had  been  called  oat ;  they  told  him 
to  take  off  his  clothing,  and  he  went  into! a  tobacco 
store  and  did  bo  ;  two  soldiers  were  then  assailed, 
and  one  oC  them  drew  a  pistol,  which  checked  the 
ass^hmts ;  then  there  were  stones  thown  through 
the'Vindows  of  the  first-floor  of  tho  armory ;  that

of  fire*armaof  aay  kind;  the  throwing  of  stonea 
afterward  became  alarming;  about  8:15  P.  M. 
heard  the  tramp  of  soldiers  on  the  stalra  ;  np  to  that 
time  had  heard  no  firing  ;  saw  some  fixing  irom  the

as  Comm^d^-in-Ghief  of  the  Stat«  Militia, 
eutfled  the  f  olljowing  order  to  be  issued  to-day  : 

ENXBAL  HEAD-QUABTER8,  ) 

State  oy  New-Yobk,  S 
,   ,        ,  Albany,  Aug.  1, 1877.     ) 

GxNKtAli  OeDKBS  Ko.  15.— The  Commander-in- 
Chief  takes,  pleasure  in  expressing  his  sincere  thatks 
ttrall  the  omt-ers  and  men  of  the  National  Guard  of 
this  State  for  the  important  service  rendered  by  them 
in  suppressing  the  recent  riots,  and  in  protectmg  th© 
lives  and  property  of  the  citizens  of  the  various  por- 
tions of  the  Stajte  which  were  threatened  with  faw- 
lesa  violence.  jThe  exigencies  of  the  occasion  re- 
quired that  the  entire  force  of  the  National 
Guard  ahtynldj  be  put  under  arms  and  held 
ready  to  ]mo|ve  i  at  a  momemt'a  notice.  The 
dnties  to;  ble .  performed  were  of  a  very 
d£flacult  andf  delicate  nature.  The  actual 
and  thre&tenpd  violence  and  defiance  of  law 
were  Bueh;  th»t  it  became  necessary  to  order  the 
military  forces  j  to  seven  different  points  ttpon  the 
leading  railway  lines  extending  from  Li^e  Krie  to 
Albany  and;  Ne-f^'-York.  The  varioxia  regiments,  bat- 
talions, and  Bftpanite  companies  selectedfor  this  pur- 
pose were  mov^  to  their  respective  positions  with 
a  rapidity  and  jpreohuon  ■which  could  not  have  been 
excelled  by  regular  troops,  Thev  were  handled 
with  such  sldU  and  e"od  judgment  that  with- 
in  one  week !  I  the  disturbances  were  entirely 
suppressed  and!  peace, and  order  restored  throughout 
the  State  -witliput  any  nerious  shedding  of  blood. 
The  event  has  idemon."itrated  the  efficiency  and  relia- 
bility of  til  well- organized  State  militia.  Although 
subjected  to  srebt  privations  and  hardships,  the  best 
discipline  ii^as  lObserved  throughout,  and  the  citizen 
soldiers  retjimed  to  their  homes,  carrying  with  theift 
the  thanks  riotidnly  of  their  officers,  but  of  all  the  law-

ALL  Q0lET|THROrGHOUT  NEW-JERSEY. 

At  Govl  £{edle*s  head-quarters,  in  Taylor's 
Hotel,  Jeriey'Clty,  yesterday,  tin*  reporters  were 
informed  .that  quiet  prevailed  throughoat  the 
State.  The  I  Militia  arc,  however,  continued  in 
Phillipsbur^,  and  the  fierious  outbreaks  of  yes- 
terday in  [Pennsylvania  seems  to  have  strength- 
ened the  j !  determination  of  tho  Governor  to 
keep  thei^  ^n  duty  for  several  days  yet. 
Nothing  wnd  kiJowTi  at  the  New- Jersey  Central  Depot 
in  Conimunipa|*r  last  evening  regarding  the  recent 
order  of  Reiceivcr  Lathrop,  suspending  all  engineers 
and  brakeuien  "  not  now  actually  employed  by  the 
company."  iThe  engineers,  when  questioned,  said  that 
it  conld  liave  nothing  to  do  with  either  themselves  or 
the  ftremenj,  as  neither  of  them  had  struck  duriugthe 
recent  troubles.  Tho  general  oimiion  was  that 
the  order^  so  far  na  it  applied  to  the 
New-Jersey  Central  proper,  meant  nothing  more 
than  a  recognition  of  tin*  existing  custom  of  sus- 
pending in  dtjll  times  the  younger  or  junior  en^- 
ne^rs  and  jrlving  what  work  there  was  to  the  older 
hand«.  Th<.'  brakeman  and  Uromon  do  not  know  >'et

procbiim|  their]  intention  of  doing,  viz..  to  discharge 
all  the  riiiplo«(ders  in  the  recent  troubles  at  Phillips- 
bm-g  and  elsewhere.  At  Communipaw  yester<lay  it 
was  thoufidit  that  the  new  order  might  be  meant

and  ye  shajl  ^  o'l  it*,  ^he  land  which  I  have  giten  to

your  ear,  itor  lieorkencduntome."  The-so  words  h:id 
been  spok«n,:  said  the  i)re:icher,  by  .Teremiah  to 
the  people  of  Israel  I  by  tJod's  command,  tho  exhor- 
tation prcimp^sing  that  there  had  been  a  departure 
of  the  i>eop'le  from  God.  There  wercnopenple.it 
would  seem.  Who  should  have  been  'doser  attached 
to  Gml  ih-an  the  in-ople  of  Israel,  and  yet  no  Nonner 
had  ihev  bf^en  delivoretl  bv  (iod  than  they  departeil 
from  Hl^^  W'oril.  His  wors*hip.  and  His  .vervice.  .So 
great,  indtjed,  Was  their  offense  that,  we  could  but  b«» 
astonlslHMl  HI  God's  patience,  forbenran'-e,  and 
mercy  in  wallling  fori  the  Israelites  to  tuni  ngaiu  to 
Him.  Bu.t  tho  children  of  Israel,  added  tho 
preacher,  (wero   not'  the   only  perhocs    that  h.id  <le. 

Snrted  friym  ^(ni.  Everj- man  had  departed  from 
jm  hinctv  the  ueparturt'  beginning  In  the  (iarden  of 
Eden  x\-itU I  Adam.  It  wn.s  this  tlopartnre  of  men 
from  tho  pnro  Wonl  of  (iod  that  split  tho  Church 
into  so  innny  different  factions.  Kach  faction 
followed  its  own  philosophy  of  the  Divine  Word, 
and  it  wofi^now  a  common  thin;:  to  hear  even  teachera 
(»f  reliujionithemselves  sny  that  <iod  didn't  mean  what 
be  had  said.  In  departing  from  the  Word  men  had 
departed  from  God's  worship  too,  and  now  they  went 
to  church  to  hear  a  favorite  minister  anii  be  pleased, 
and  not'  tor  jtho  simple  worship  of  their  tVeator. 
This  departure,  the  preacher  arpied.  was  flagrantly 
wicked,  bticaixie.  in  making  it,  men  left  tho  Suprem'e 
One.  in  whomjthey  lived  and  moved  and  had  their 
being;  flagrantly  wicked,  because  they  sinned 
against  themselves  :  in  committing  an  act  that 
brought  down  upon  them  God's  curse ;  da- 
grantly  wicked,  because  they  blasted  their 
childreii's !  hope  of  heaven,  and  flagrantly  wicked 
because  I  they  ;  sinned  against  society  and  mankind 
in  general' by  [Setting  their  fellow-man  a  wicked  ex- 
ample of  disobedience  to  his  God.  But  though  matt 
has  thus  sinned  grievously  against  his  Creator,  there 
was  opened  [  to  him  a  way  to  return  to  his 
Crcator—tJie  ;  acceptance  of  salvation  through 
Jesus  CJu-ist.  In'  concluding.  the  preacher 
urged  the  necessity  of  the  sinner  becoming 
convinced  of  his  sin  before  he  could  return  once 
more  to  <3od.  If  nien,  he  thotight,  could  only  bo 
convinced  of  t)ii«,  there  would  no  longer  be  any  need 
of  prnjiug  for  and  begging  them  to  repent';  they 
would  come  voluntarily  to  seek  salvation.  What 
was  needed  nt  tho  present  time  was  more  of  the 
kind  of  preaching  that  would  bring  home  to  men's 
hearts  the ;  ne  cesyity  for  this  conviction  of  sin  to  se- 
cure a  return  of  God's  grace.

iLil  WLESSNESS  IN  MOXTREAL. 
The  Montreal  Witness  of  Tuesday  pays : 
"  Rowdyism  may  almost  be  said  to  be  rampant  In 
Montreal. '  It  is  the;subject  for  general  remark  that 
respectable  citizens  of  Montreal  have  been  since  fhe 
late  difttorbances  at' the  mercy  of  the  mob  or  rowdy 
element,  |  which  daily  distinguishes  itseU  in  some 
part  of  the  city — not  alone  in  the  more  secluded 
loc&UtieB-T-py  outrages  which  continne  to  add  to  tbe 
di^race  now  tosting  upon  the  community.  There  la 
undoubtedly  xeason^  at  the  present  Juncture  of 
affairs,  fqr  the  Police  force  to  display  the  utmost 
Tigilanoe  and  all  the  efficiency  they  can  lay  claim  to, 
not  coaly  tb  keep  down  rowdyism,  but  also  to  remore 
whatcTfr  fiidltun  may  at  present  attach  to  them.  It 
is  adio  fa^tfalMHi^UMm  the  civie  anthnrltlM  if  th«j 


have  any  desire  to  regain  the  eonildence  and  respect 
of  all  good  citizens  and  of  t^e  eoimtry  at  large,  to 
take  prompt  and  active  measures  to  streiwthen  and 
Improve  the  present  inadequate  and  inefficient  force. 
It  Is  not  now  a  question  of  eipense  whether  the 
PoUee  force  shall  be  Increased  in  numbers  and  com- 
posed of  men  of  trustworthy  character  and  sufficient 
capabilities  or  not.  It  is  a  question  as  to  whether 
the  good  name  of  otirdty  shall  be  retrieved  and  in-

:^    GEN  SHERIDAN'S  RETURN,    f- 


HIS  TOUR  ET  THE  INDIAN  COTJNTRT— "WHAT 
-KB  SAW  IN  THE  WILDBEIfESS  OP  DA- 
KOTA. 

'  Fr<m,  the  Chicago  Tribune,  July  29. 

Lieut.-Oen.  Sheridan  and  staff  arrived  In  the 
city  yesterday  jQAining  in  a  special  train,  via  the 
North-western  Btdlroad,  aecompoAted  by  Gen.  Crook. 
Besides  Lieut. -Gen.  Sheridan^  there  were  with  him  of 
his  Btaff  Gens.  D.  B.  Sackett,  J.  W.  Forsyth,  G.  A. 
Forsyth  :  Lieuts.  Schuyler  and  Bourke  ;  Lieut-  Car- 
penter, the  entomologist  and  naturalist ;  Col.  Farrar, 
Col.  Welsh,  and  Surgeon  Patzki, 

The  party  were  ou  their  way  home  when  they 
heard  of  tne  strikers*  tro&bles,  which  hastened  their 
return  considerably.  They  rode  150  miles  by  stage, 
from  the  Union  Pacifio  Railroad  to  Camp  Brown, 
where  the  party  indulged  in  the  luxury  of  a  spring 
bath — than  which  there  is  no  finer  in  the  world. 
From  here  350  miles  were  ridden  on  horseback 
to  the  mouth  of  the  Big  Horn  and  Little 
Horn  Rivers.  On  the  15th  Inst.,  on  Shell  Creek,  in 
the  Big  Horn  5Iountains,^the  party  had  the  pleasure 
of  witnessing  a  three-inch  fall  of  snow.  Last  Monday 
they  met  Gen.  Sherman  en  the  steamer  Rosebud, 
within  10  miles  of  the  Big  Horn  MounUdns.  The 
party  returned  via  the  Yellowstone  and  Missouri 
Rivers  to  Bismarck  by  boat,  and  thence  to  Chicago 
by  rail.  The  trip  was  in  all  respects  a  delightful  and 
successful  one,  and  the  party  fared  sumptuously 
on  flsh  and  game.  Lieut.-Gfen.  Sheridan  became  bet- 
ter acquainted  with  the  country,  and  is  for  that  rea- 
son better  able  to  judge  where  new  military  posts 
will  be  needed  for  the  protection  of  settlers  on  the 
frontier. 

Gen.  Crook,  with  Lieuts.  Bourke  and  Schuyler,  of 
his  staff,  left  tho  city  yesterday  morning  for  Omaha, 
where  business  of  importance  has  called  him,  con- 
nected with  the  Department  of  the  Platte.  The  sud- 
den call  for  troops  for  duty  in  this  cltv  was  answered 
mainlv  from  Gtn.  Crook's  comraana,  and  this  has 
cau.sed  somewhat  of   a  derangement  of  tho  varlotis 

Sosts  and  garrisons  there,  necessitating  an  immediate 
eparture. 

The  General's  recent  tour  of  inspection  was  one  full 
of  Interest  and  military  importance.  The  party  left 
the  I'nion  Paclflc  Railroad  at  Brvan,  and  proceeded 
north  in  stages  to  Camp  Brown,  in  tho  Wind  River- 
Valley.  Wvoming  Territor\-,  thence  to  a  camp  at  the 
base  of  the  Big  Horn  Mountains.  At  this  point  a 
scientific  party  composed  of  IJeuta.  Bourke,  Schuyler, 
and  Carpenter  was  made  up  to  ascend  this  heretofore 
unexplored  mountain.  Tliat  is  to  say.  no  one  has 
ever  reached  the  acttial  summit  of  Cloud  Peak.  After 
reaching  an  elevation  of  about  13,000  feet,  they  were 
unable  to  proceed  further,  owing  to  the  inac- 
ce.'isiblo  rocks  encountered.  They,  liowever, 
reached  a  higher  point  than  any  former  partv.  Sev- 
eral like  attempts  have  been  made  during  the  occu- 
jtaicy  of  the  Big  Horn  counlrj'  by  United  States 
troops  in  1867-'6'^,  but  none  have  been  successful. 
Among  other  interesting  occurrences  of  this  explora- 
tion was  the  discovery  and  naming  of  Hayes  Peak,  a 
point  jutting  out  from  Cloud  Peak,  and  the  highest 
mountain  of  this  range.  A  Urge  collection  of  the 
fauna  was  made,  including  some  very  interesting  dis- 
coverieji  of  new  species.    These  have  been  properly 

freser\'ed,  and  will  be  forwarded  to  the  Smithsonian 
n^itute.  WliUe  on  this  subject  it  may  be  as  well  to 
sav  that  Gen.  Welsli,  of  Chicago,  who  accompanied 
the  expedition  in  the  cause  of  scientilic  investigation, 
■hot  two  of  those  rare  animals  known "a«  the  prock 
and  cammelco — so  some  of  tho?e  who  were  there  say. 
Anv  persons  interested  in  zoology  should  call  on  the 
General  for  a  detailed  description.  Of  course,  all 
kiuds  of  came  were  killed,  including  black-tailed 
deer,  monntaln  sheep,  mountain  bison,  and  two  bears. 
Of  the  latter  tien.  Sheridan  killt*d  one  snd  Crook  the, 
other.  The  Generals  were  in  hick-  The  bison  is  a 
si>ecies  much  smaller  than  the  buffalo,  a;*  fleet  al- 
most US  a  deer,  and  as  sure-footed  as  a  Big  Horn 
sheep. 

After  le.iving  the  Cloud  Pe«.k  Camp  the  expedition 
crossed  the  range  at  the  head  of  Tongue  River.  De- 
scending into  the  Valley  of  the  Big  :yom.  they  found 
numerous  parties  of  miners  and 'prosi>ectors.  in 
Hquads  of  five  to  thirt}-.  all  bunting  for  gold.  It  is 
to  be  regretted  that  as  yet  none  of  them  ha<l  been 
successful:  at  least,  no  paying  prosi>ects  had  been 
washed  out.  Should  a  more  thorough  search  prove 
these  flrBl  attempts  erroneoiis,  and  gold  bo  found  in 
quantities,  tho  extent  of  the  region  is  such  that  it 
would  a>>sorb  a  good  many  thousands  of  our  surplus 
population  immediatply.  There  is  no  doubt  of  the 
agricultural  and  pastoral  capacities  of  that  country, 
whatever  have  been  the  faUe  reports  of  ignorant 
jKT!«ons  who  have  written  on  this  question. 

On  Tongue  River  the  expeclition  wa.s  joined  by  the 
cav;i',ry  escort  of  live  companies  of  the  Fifth  i^^av.ilry 
under  Major  Hart.  This  force  was  necessary,  owing 
to  the  faet  of  .-ill  the  Indians  in  Dakota  not  having 
Imh-u  compelled  to  go  on  to  reservations. 

En  route  to  Post  No.  2,  (this  is  to  be  called  Camp 
Cu«ter.»  located  at  the  mouth  of  Tongue  River,  f'us- 
tor's  battlefleld  was  visited,  and  the  bones  of  17 
bodies  found  and  burie^I.  Theso  had  not  been -dis- 
covert-d  bv  previous  parties  sent  out  for  tbLs  purpcse. 
At  f*0!!t  N'o.  '2  the  expedition  took  boat  and  steamed 
to  Bismarck.  8»>0  miles,  in  four  days.  There  tele- 
grama  reached  Gen.  Sheridan,  and  the  party  started 
it)  to  make  time  on  a  spei'ial  train  for  Cijicago.  Ono 
part  of  tho  route,  1,000  miles,  was  made  in  39 
nours.  ^

It  will  be  seen  that  flotir,  from  which  the  "  staff  of 
life  ■'  is  made,  is  higher  than  it  has  been  sinee  1S7-4 ; 
but  it  is  a  fact  that  it  was  higher  from  1S71  until 
lJ^74  than  it  isuow.  Corn-meal,  which  is  not  much 
used  by  railroad  men,  thotigh  it  is  by  the  poorer 
classes,  is  much  cheaper  than  heretofore.  Beef  is 
about  the  same,  but  pork  is  dearer ;  lard  and  butter 
are  about  the  same ;  potatoes  have  been  verj-much 
dearer,  but  are  now  cheaper.  Other  articles  average 
a  tritle  less  than  for  some  years  past,  including 
boarding  and  rent.  We  thlnx  a  clone  calculation 
of  the  aggregate  expense  of  living  would  show  a  re- 
duction of  at  least  10  per  cent,  on  the  average  of  the 
past  eight  years,  though  it  would  not  he  more  than 
tliat. 


S30T  IX  iflSTAKE  FOR  A  BURGLAR. 
JThe  Philadelphia  Telegi-aph  of  Tuesday  even- 
ing sa>-R :  "  There  were  several  cases  at  the  Coroner's 
office  this  morning,  the  most  interesting  being  the 
evidence  given  in  the  case  of  the  shooting  of  John 
Shields,  aged  30  years,  by  Thomas  Patton.  It  ap- 
pears that  the  people  in  the  neighborhood  have  been 
much  worked  up  by  the  tramp  nuisance,  and  are 
constantly  on  their  guard  against  the  depredations  of 
the  wanderers.  Themas  Patton,  who  keepsastoro 
in  Bris  tol,  had  spoken  about  being  prepared  to  resist 
any  Inroad  from  them.  But  Shields,  being  out  late 
on  the  night  of  last  Tuesday  week,  undertook  to  get 
into  the  place  for  shelter,  and  Patton,  being  woke 
out  of  his  sleep,  supposing  it  to  he  a  burglar  trying 
to  force  his  way  in,  fired  at  him,  wounding  him  mor- 
tally. The  wounded  man  was  conveyed  to  the  Penn- 
sylvania Hospital,  where  he  lingered  until  Friday, 
when  he  died.  To  the  ver>'  last  he  asserted 
that  Patton  was  not  tn  blaihe  for  shooting 
him.  At  11  o'clock  this  morning  WlUiam 
Shields,  a  brother  of  the  deceased,  testified 
before  the  Coroner  that  as  soon  as  he  heard  of  his 
brother  being  shot  he  started  from  Mauch  Chtink, 
where  he  was  staying,  and  after  stopping  at  Patton's 
store  to  see  the  latter  they  both  came  down  together 
and  saw  his  brother  at  the  hospital.  At  this  time 
Shields  seemed  more  anxiotia  to  see  and  talk  with 
Patton  than  with  the  wHness,  seeming  to  think 
greatly  of  him.  Finally  ho  spoke  to  his  brother 
after  Patton  had  left  the  room,  and  asked  him  if  he 
blamed  Patton  for  shooting  him.  Ho  seemed  hurt, 
aud  answered,  'Oh!  Willie,  don't  you  know  Tom 
wotild  not  sAoot  me ;  he  would  sooner  shoot  himself.' 
Tho  witness  further  stated  that  his  family  were  all 
on  good  terms  with  Patton  and  the  brothers  of  the 
latter,  and  earnestly  desired  to  have  Patton  cleared 
of  all  blame.  The  neighborhood  was  occasionally  a 
rough  one,  although  there  was  not  much  thievmg 
going  on.  No  trouble  of  any  kind  had  ever  gone  on 
between  the  Shields  and  Pnttons.  The  case  was 
then  arranged  to  be  carried  before  the  District-At- 
torney at  Bristol,  in  whose  district  the  killing  oc- 
ctirred."  ^^^^^^ 

A  GROWL, OVER  THE  STATE  SENATE. 
To  the  Editor  of  tht  Kac-York  Ttmn  : 

Why  don't  some  one  criticise  the  State  Sen- 
ators for  prolonging  the  extra  session  at  Saratoga  as 
they  are  doing  ?  They  ought  to  be  ashamed  of  them- 
selves. Their  pay,  I  am  told,  is  ^10  per  day.  They

State  or  New-York,  Execctttk  CHA^rBSB,  X 
AxBAJtY,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  1,  1877.     3 

A  statement  of  the  reasons  which  have  led  to  the 
exercise  of  ExecutiTO  clemency  in  behalf  of  Frank  H. 
Walworth  is  due  to  the  community.  The  purpose 
and  the  scope  of  the  paidoning  power  is  not  nnoom- 
monly  mistaken.  The  Executive  ,  la  fre- 
quently accounted  as  simply  a  court  of 
last  resort  authorized  to  revise  the  criminal 
judgments  of  the  ordinary  tribunals.  The  truth  is 
far  otherwise.  'When  the  law,  by  its  necessarily  un- 
bending rtiles,  works  hardship  in  view  of  circum- 
stances not  within  the  lines  of  legal  evidence,  where 
punishment,  although  technically  proper,  is  yet 
morally  unjust,  there  the  power  of  pardon  finds  its 
Intimate  field.  The  law  is  majestic  in  that  It  is 
never  revengeful  and  always  lust.  If  its  action 
places  society  at  any  time  in  the  position  of  a  per- 
secutor, Executive  clemency,  acting  outside  the 
strict  letter  of  the  law,  may  relieve  Hie  community 
from  the  hardship.  The  application  of  young  Wal- 
worth for  a  pardon  was  presented  to 
my  predecessor,  hut  was  by  nlm  handed 
over  to  myself  without  examination  or 
action.  He  did,  however,  appoint  a  commission 
consisting  of  Dr.  John  P.  t4ray,  of  the  Utica  Insane 
Asylum,  and  Judge  William  J.  Bacon,  of  Utica,  to 
examine  and  report  on  the  past  and  present  mental 
condition  of  the  prisoner,  and  their  report,  more  fully 
referred  to  below,  was  nuuic  some  months  since  with 
great  clearness  and  precision.  The  case  of  Walworth 
having  been  thtis  tnmeu.  over  to  me  for  ac- 
tion, I  have  made  the  most  exhaustive  study 
of  its  features  within  my  power.  After  the  careful 
pemsal  of  every  word  of  the  voluminous  mass  of  evi- 
dence,  exhibits,  letters,  and  papers,  which  make  up 
the  melancholy  record  of  the  tragedy  for  which  he 
was  convicted,  and  the  most  earnest  reflection, 
I  can  reach  no  otjier  conclusion  than  that  while 
upon  the  evidence  given  at  the  trial  his  conviction 
was  technically  proper,  be  is  morally  entitled  to  his 
release.  Neither  space  nor  time  is  adequate  to  detail 
at  length  tho  facts  upon  which  this  conclusion  is 
based.    The  more  salient  only  can  have  mention. 

The  beginning  of  the  tragedy  ladd  far  bade  of  etjght 
that  is  known  by  the  public.  The  prisoner,  as  a  boy 
of  9  or  10  years,  was  a  quiet,  well-behaved  child, 
marked  mainly,  then  as  now,  by  an  affectionate  de- 
votion to  his  mother.  He  was  then  afllicted 
with  epilewy,  and  subject  to  the  worst  form 
of  tbat  oisease,  exhibited  >  in  eo-callcd  blind 
or  mental  paroxjitms  of  frequent  occurrence. 
He  lived  nt  that  time  chiefly,  and  of 
late  years  altogether,  with  his  mother  at 
Saratoga  Springs ;  and  the  most  respectable  citi- 
zens of  that  \illafe  testify  with  enthusiasm  to 
the  blameless  purity  of  his  entire  life  up  to  the  very 
day  of  the  fatal  encotinter  with  his  father.  Of  his 
father,  >Iansfield  Tracy  Walworth,  it  is  now  only 
charitable  to  believe  that  he  waa  unsound 
in  mind.  For  years  he  devoted  his  life  to  a  system- 
atic course  of  threats  and  abtiso  toward  his  wife, 
which  for  inalJgnit>*,  bitterness,  and  brutality  are, 
fortunately,  seldom  equaled.  This  conduct,  long  con- 
cealed from  the  knowledge  of  his  son,  was  at  last  dis- 
covered by  1dm  upon  entering  a  room  while  his  father 
was  in  the  very  act  of  striking  his  mother.  The  son 
at  once  interfered  to  protect  his  mother,  and  from 
that  moment  shared  with  her  the  insane  hatred  of  the 
father.  It  Is  as  needless  as  it  would  be  a  painful 
task  to  detail  the  brutal  threats  and  violence 
of  the  years  that  followed.  All  that  a  Jevoted  son 
cotild  do  for  the  protection  of  a  loving  mother  the 
prisoner  did.  but  this  did  not  prevent  repeated 
threats,  spoken  and  written,  from  Mansfield  Wal- 
worth, that  he  would  satisfy  his  vengeance 
with  the  Uves  of  his  wife  and  son.  Frequent  per- 
sonal violence  used  by  the  father  to  his  wife  as  op- 
portunity offered,  were  an  earnest  of  the  sincer- 
ity of  his  deadly  Intent.  It  is  not  difficult 
to  imagine  the  effect  of  these  Threats  and  scenes  upon 
the  mind  of  a  boy  of  16.  already  burdened  with  tho 
curse  of  ei>iJeppy  and  its  resultihc  infirmity  of  mind. 
Tho  protection  of  his  mother  &om  tho 
^iole^ce  of  his  father  became  his  one 
absorbinc  object,  and  although  the  mother  resided 
at  SaratoitR  and  the  father  In  New- York,  so  sudden, 
so  frequent,  and  so  t<'rrible  had  become  his 
visits  to  Saratoffa.  made  with  no  other  osten- 
sible purjiose  than  to  execute  his  murderous 
threats,  that  the  prisoner  frequently  slept  armed 
upon  tlie  iloor  outside  the  door  of  his  mother's  room, 
to  prevent  tho  execution  of  his  fathers  threats  at 
night.  l"he  son  grew  at  length  to  the  aye  wheii 
he  demande<i,  as  was  his  right,  tliat  his 
father  should  cease  to  persecute  his  naother.  After 
a  stormy  inteiTiew,  this  promise  was  extorted,  only 
to  be  broken,  and  threatn  more  brutal,  profane,  anH 
obscene  thanbeforw  were  showered  alike  on  mother 
and  son. 

At  L-tst  this  era  of  passion  ended  as  was  not  un- 
natural, in  a  tr»ge*iy.  The  father,  knowing  of  his 
Ron's  presence  at  a  City  hotel,  went  to  his  room  at  6 
o'eiock  ill  the  morning.  The  son  was  called  from 
sleep,  started  up,  dressed  hastily,  and  in  a  moment 
confronted  alone  the  father  who'  had  a  hundred  times 
threatened  to  be  his  murderer.  'NS'hat  happened  be- 
tween the  two  will  never  be  accurately  known.  Tiio 
prisoner's  sole  living  witness  of  the  scene  gives  no 
coherent  account  of  it.  It  is  natural,  however,  to  be- 
lieve that  as  the  father  had  not  for  years  met  the  son 
witliout  looks  or  words  of  hatred,  he  met  him  n.o 
(lifTerently  hn  that  occa.<don.  This  pr-esumption  Is 
strengthened  by  the  evidence  civen  at  tho  trial 
by  the  hall-boy  Amos,  who  showed  the 
deceased  to  the  prisoner's  room  and  last  saw 
him  alive.  With  bis  past  history  in  his 
memory  it  was  impossible  for  the  son  to 
suppose  his  fathers  nnseasonable  visit  less 
than  dangerous  to  himself.  The  evidence  of 
the  ball-boy  and  the  boarder  Joslah  Moorehead, 
shows  that  no  words  were  spoken  unless  In  whispers, 
from  the  time  the  father  entered  the 
room  until  his  death ;  and  the  little  tes- 
timony by  one  witness  as  to  hearing  words.  Is  too 
vague  to  be  reUable.  The  circumstances  of  the  visit, 
the  morbid  mental  condition  of  the  prisoner  result- 
ing from  his  malady,  and  his  great  terror  of  his 
father's  violence,  force  mo  to  the  conclusion  that  the 
murder  for  which  ho  stands  convicted  was  caused 
either  by  tho  insanity  attendant  upon  one  of 
his  epileptic  paroxjTims  or  tho  Impression, 
possibly  a  mistaken  one,  that  his  father's  silent  ap- 
proach "toward  iumself  was  with  murderotis  intent, 
and  his  own  action  necessary  to  save  his  life.  In 
either  event  he  is  not  legally  responsible  -for  it. 

But  granting  that  he  was  so  far  soimd  of  mind 
that  a  jury  was  not  warranted  in  pronouncing  him 
insane,  it  is  still  impossible  that  the  long  course  of 
unnatural  brutality  held  by  his  father  toward 
his  mother  and  '  himself,  should  have  resulted 
otherwise  than  in  uu  overmastering  sense  of 
danger  from  his  fathers  presence.  The  jtirr,  by 
their  verdict,  have  found  that  this  murder  was 
neither  premediated  nor  deliberate.  In  that  finding  I 
fully  concur.  The  act  must  then  have  been  the  re- 
sult of  sadden  mental  impression  or  condition  ;  aud 
it  seems  to  me  that  it  may  well  be  regarded  as  a 
nattiral  result  of  the  continuing  impression  upon  the 
prisoner's  enfeebled  Intellect,  that  liis  [father  was  in 
desire  and  intersBt  his  murderer,  and  needed  but  tho 
opportunity  to  l>ecomG  such  indeed.  The  father  was 
a  man  of  larec  proportions  and  strength,  the  son 
8li|;ht  and  feoble.  Tho  result  of  the  In- 
terview was  notlUng  but  ^qi  fair  manifestation 
of  that  unnatural  condition  of  mind  and  l>ody 
to  which  the  father's  long  course  of  brutality, 
violence,  and  threats,  and  his  own  aggravated 
infirmity  had  brought  the  prisoner.  Jn  Uint  view 
the  act  was  as  thoroughly  the  restiit  of  Mans- 
field Walworth's  own  passionate  conduct  as 
if  he  had  himself  discharged  the  fatal  shot.  The 
meeting  of  the  two  cannot  he  better  expressed  than 
in  the  words  of  the  venerable  WDliam  Cullen  Bryant, 
who,  in  his  letter  asking  a  pwdon  for  young  Wal- 
worth, laconically  says:  "If  a  jnrj-  were  now  to 
pass  i^pon  the  evidence  in  the  case,  I  think  they 
would  acquit  the  accused.  The  meeting 
between  the  father  and  the  son  would  be  regarded 
as  an  encounter  between  two  Insane  persons,  in 
which  one  of  them  was  slain.  My  own  conviction 
is  that  the  life  he  had  led  and  the  suf- 
ferings he  had  borne,  added  to  the  ♦con- 
stitutional weakness  of  his  mind,  bad  so 
far  worked  upon  him  that  as  toward  the  father  ho 
was  not  accountable  for  his  acts,  is  therefore  not  a 
proper  subjeat  for  criminal  pu"Ishment,  and  was  not 
such  at  the  time  of  his  conviction. 

The  present  mental  condition  of  the  prisoner, 
while  it  furnishes  no  eroimd  for  his  pai^on,  yet 
renders  the  question  of  his  further  detention  simply 
one  of  public  morals.  Imprisonment  has  done 
its  ftUl  work,  and  the  measure  of  his  capability 
to  suffer  fsom  It  is  ended-  The  only  question 
left  is  whether  tho  interests  of  society  yet  demand 
the  detention  of  an  epileptic  in  the  asylum  for 
insane  convicts,  where  ho  has  so  long  l>een  placed. 
Aggravated  by  confinement  tho  malady  which  has 
been  upon  htm  since  early  childhood  has  so  far 
progressed,  I  am  informed  hy  the  highest  medical 
RUtnority.  as  well  as  by  the  report  of  the  commisfiion 
appointed  by  my  predecessor,  that  his  further  deten- 
tion will  reeult  incomplete  idiocy.and  while  they  assure 
me  that  this  result  is  not  improbable  in  any  event, 
they  pronounce  it  barely  possible  that  he  nia\-  im- 
prove by  immediate  change  of  scene  and  air.  To  de- 
Udn  him  in  confinement  with  the  certainty  of  this 
result  in  the  future  is  t*>  inflict  a  severer 
penalty  than  conld  have  followed  a  verdict  of 
murder  in  the  first  degree.  It  would  degrade  the  ad- 
ministration of  justice  to  the  level  of  a  mere  engine 
of  venceance.  and  ill  befite  tho  dignity  of  the  law  or 
the  civilization  and  humanity  which  l>elong 
to  the  age.  Reviewing  the  whole  case  In 
the  facts  brought  to  my  knowledge  outside 
as  weU  as  in  the  evidence,  I  cannot 
believe  it  comports  with  even-handed  justice  to  • 
longer  detain  a  prisoner  feeble  of  mind  and  body, 
about  whose  mental,  moral,  and  even  lecal 
responsibility  for  the  crime  of  which 
he  stands '  convicted  there  yet  remains 
BO  verv  serious  doubts.  For  the  facts  outside 
the  evidence  at  tne  trial,  bearing  upon  tho 
early  history  of  the  prisoner.  I  am  indebted 
to  the  Hon  Augnstus  Boekes,  Justice  of 
the  Supreme  Court,  and  other  promi- 
nent citizens  of  Saratoga  Springs,  as  well  as 
to  Rev.  J.  Trumbull  Backus,  of  Schenectady,  all  of 
whom  personally  vouch  for  the  facts  they 
have  contributed.  Professional  opinions  as 
to  voung  Walworth's  past  and  present  mental 
condition  are  contained  in  the  elaborate  com- 
munications and  reports  of  the  commission  before 
mentioned,  as  well  as  those  of  Dr.  John  Ordrouatui, 
State  ComnUssioner  of  Lunacy ;  Dr.  Charles  F.  Mc- 
Donald, of  the  Asylum  for  Insane  Convicts  at  Au- 
bttm,  and  others  of  high  scientific  attainments.  Th^ 
letter  of  Hon.  Angtistua  Boekes.  a  citizen  aud  jurist 
of  prominent  worth  and  repute,  is  annexed 
as  tending  to  elucidate  the  legal  questions  in  the  eaE« 
and  to  set  forth  certain  of  its  facts.  It  is  only  proper 
to  say  that  it  was  written  by  Judge  Boekes,  wUh  the

Accompanying  the  statement  of  the  Govarnorlsa' 
lengthy  letter  from  Jndge  Boekes  to  Gov.  XtL' 
den,  dated  Saratoga  Bpnugs-^Feb.  8,  1875,  ta 
which  he  speaks  of  his  Inthnate  knowledge  oC 
young  Walworth  from  his  infancy;  that  "he  was 
nnifonzLlr  gentle,  kind,  and  affectionate,  with  high 
ideas  of  anty,  and  it  was  undoubtedly  the  exeidae  oC 
these  qualities  that  placed  him  in  the  unfortiinat« 
eonditioti.  irtdeh  rendered  possible  the  ooeutra&ec 
that  all  now  sadly  dejdore.  He  had  witnessed 
what  few  lads  or  young  men  had  before 
erer  been  permitted  to  witness— a  systematic,  per- 
sistentf  malignant  persecution  of  his  mother, 
whom  he  adore«l."  Si>eaking  of  the  fatal  intex^ 
view,  tho  Jud^  urges  that  the  boy  com- 
mitted the  deed  in  self-defense,  and  aays 
"  ho  acted  nndcr  tho  belief  that  this  eonxBO 
of  conduct  on  the  part  of  his  father  might 
be  terminated  through  his  influence  and 
personal  interposition.  He  may  have  mis- 
judged  in  thi.s  :  but  should  a  young  son.  Impelled 
by  strong  affection,  having  the  ardor  and  cotifldence 
of  youth  without  the  juigment  and  experience  rf 
even  adtilt  manhood,  be  held  to  the  same  rule  o4 
wise  action  and  severe  responsibility  as  one  o£  m*^ 
ture  years  V* 

The  Judge  concludes  his  letter  a<i  follows;  "Tli« 
case  of  younc  Walworth  is  a  hard  one.  Ha  songhfr 
to  defend  and  protect  his  mother  from  the  grossest 
assaults.  He  may  have  misjudged  in  the  course  o£ 
action  which  he  adopted  to  bring  about  the  desineare^ 
suit :  but  he  acted  in  (food  faith,  as  I  sincerely  beliere. 

If  tho  ends  of  justice  demanded  his  conviction  as 
an  example  to  prevent  hasty  action,  that  end  has 
been  served.  I  trurt  his  case  may  bo  favorably  i». 
Raided,  and  that  a  full  pardon  will  be  speedily  gru)t«(l 
him.  I  urge  this  with  all  my  heart,  and  with  enttna 
confidence  tqat  what  I  beg  for  Is  but  in  aocordanea 
with  the  dictates  of  jtistice  and  hnmanitr.  Very  r»>

SKETCH  OP  WALWORTH'S  CRnCE. 
The  mtirder  for  which  Frank  H.  WalWorQl, 
was  sentenced  to  be  imprisoned  for  life  was  eomndt- 
ted  on  Jtme  3,  1S73.  On  Monday,  June  2,  he  left 
his  mother's  bouse  in  Saratoga,  without  bidding 
his  mother  or  his  sisters  good-bye,  and  coining  ta 
this  Cit}-,  registered  at  the  Sturtev»nt  House,  wheorQ 
he  was  assigned  to  Room  No.  267,  on  the  third  floor. 
then  took  a  bath,  and  went  out.  He  went  to  t^e 
house  in  which  his  father  lodged,  on  Fonrth-aTenoe, 
two  doors  north  of  Fifty-fourth-street,  where  ho  le&. 
the  following  note  for  him :

PRANK  H.  WALWORTH. 
Yonng  Walworth  sat  up  all  night  waiting  for  hia 
father,  bnt  it  was  not  until  6:15  on  Tuesday  mom-J 
ing  that  Mansfield  Tracy  Walworth  came  to  th* 
Sttirtevant  House  and  asked  to  see  his  son.  He  wax 
shown  to  the  room,  and  the  door  was  scarcely  dose^ 
behind  him  when  four  pistol  shots  were  heaid  lis 
rapid  succession,  and  a  moment  later  the  occupant  of 
the  adjoining  room,  who  had  sprung  from  bis  bed  at 
the  noise  of  the  firing,  met  yotmc  Walworth  coming 
from  his  room,  looking  cool  and  tinconcemed.  He 
passed  down  stairs,  and  the  disttirbed  man,  opening: 
the  door  of  the  young  man's  room,  saw  tbehody  oi; 
M.  T.  Walworth  h-ing  in  a  laige  pool  of  blood  on  tho 
floor.  The  young  man  immediately  telegraphed  to 
J.  Hardin,  Chicago.  '*  I  hav-e  shot  and  killed  uther,*' 
then  asked  the  way  to  the  nearest  Police  station, 
anti,  gouic  to  the  Twenty-ninth  I*recinct,  gave  hi--* 
name,  address,  and  tho  crime  he  had  committed  ta 
the  Sergeant,  and  was  locked  up.  He  said  that  fsmHy 
trouble  had  imx>elled  him  to  d^  the  ahoot^ 
inc.  The  dead  man  was  found  to  have  76' 
ceived  three  fatal  wounds.  He  was  a  per. 
son  of  strlkinc;  apx>earanee,  of  fine  stature, 
portly  build,  and  with  delicate  features,  oval  faea, 
lieht  mustache,  I>lne  eyes,  dark  brown  hair,  and  n 
high  forehead.  It  was  ariparent  from  the  condition 
of  the  room  in  which  the  murder  was  perpetrateil 
that  as  soon  as  the  murdered^man  entered  it  he  tool: 
1  a  seat  at  the  window,  and  remained  there  while  i»ar- 
I  leyin^  with  his  son.  The  scene  ii^Zhe  a^rtment  was 
i  thiw  described  at  the  time  by  yofmg  Walworth  to  ^ 
i  reporter  of  This  Times  :

The  victim  of  tho  sad  tragedy,  Mar«:field  Trscw 
Walworth,  was  a  son  of  the  celebrattwl  Chancello:^ 
Walworth,  He  wag  bom  in  Albany  in  1S30.  and 
gradtiated  from  Union  College  in  l.Si9.  He  was  ad-^ 
mitted  to  the  Bar,  but  did  not  practice  ot  it,  the  pro* 
fesslon  of  literature  having  a  greater  charm  for  him. 
He  betjan  hLs  literary  career  as  a  writer  for  «h*a. 
weekly  journals  and  the  magazines,  and  hfu-r  m  shora 
experience  he  became  a  novelist.  His  first  novel. 
The  Mission  of  Death,  was  published  in  1853,  abon? 
the  time  of  his  marriace.  This  marriage  apx>ears  to 
have  been  the  fount  of  all  his  misery.  He  was  un< 
fitted  for  marital  life,  and  proved  that  fact  by  treat' 
inn  his  wife  badly,  and  by  subjecting  her  to  oause* 
leis  whims  very  soon  after  the  mairiage.  Hia 
■wife  was  Miss  Nelly  Hardin,  tho  step-dau^tar 
of  Chancellor  Walworth.  Her  father  was  CoL 
John  J.  Hardin,  a  •di«;tin3:u2shed  lawyer  sn<i 
.soldier,  who  was  killed  while  leading  his  reeiment,, 
the  Fix^  Illinois,  in  a  charge  at  tho  battle  of  Buent^ 
Vista,  in  Mexico.  Mrs.  Hardin  came  to  New-Tork  in 
1&49,  and  soon  afterward  became  the  wife  of  Chan-^ 
cellor  Walworth.  Mansfield  Tracy  Walworth,  besidea 
treating  his  wife  badly,  also  vented  his  ill-naturai, 
upon  Ms  children.  His  condnct-  so  displeased  hiaj 
father,  the  Chancellor,  that  when  he  died  he  left 
Mansfield  no  money  directly,  but  i>nt  a  sum  in  truBti| 
for  the  benefit  of  him  and  his  family.  This  exasper-] 
ated  Mansfield,  and  he  treated  his  family  more  cruelly^ 
tlian  before,  and  in  fits  of  rage  execrated  the  namai 
of  his  father.  His  conduct  ,  becoming  unendurable^ 
his  wife  left  him  in  1870  and  took  her  children  trj 
Saratoga,  where  she  opened  a  school.  Her  husband 
came  to  New-York,  where,  in  the  periods  not  occupied 
■with  work  for  the  magazinf  s  or  book  pubUsiier*.  ho 
amnse<l  himself  by  writing  foul  letters  to  his  -wife.  It; 
was  his  knowledge  of  the  contents  of  these  letters, 
aequired  unknown  to  his  mother,  that  Induced  Frank 
H.  Walworth  to  come  to  this  Citv  m  m-.-  his  father. 
In  many  of  the  letters  Mansfield  Walwonli  threat* 
ened  to  shoot  his  wife,  and  in  one  of  them,  quoted  by 
his  son  in  a  statement  made  at  the  Coroner':*  inquest, 
he  revealed  his  hatred  of  his  father  bysayiiaj:  "I 

■will  kill  your  boys,  and  defeat  the  ■ scoundrel  in 

his  arave,  and  cut  off  hi;* naane  forever."    The 

last  letter  that  he  wrote  his  wife,  and  theonethas 
led  yonng  Walworth  to  visit  this  City  to  procure 
from  his  father  a  promise  to  cease  h^«  insults,  re- 
peated the' threat  of  shooting,  and  contained  this  in- 
junction :  "  Vou  mcy  be  certain  that,  sooner  or  1^^ 
I  wUl  fullfil  my  promise." 

Tlie  trial  of  Frank  H.  Walworth  was  opened  on 
Wednesday,  June  25,  1873.  before  Judge  Davis,  in 
tho  Court  of  Oyer  and  Terminer-  The  defense  was 
conducted  by  Charles  O'Conor,  William  A.  Beach, 
.•^amuel  B.  Garvin,  and  Henry  K.  Dnvies.  while  tbt%^ 
prosecntion  was  carried  on  by  District  Attomcv» 
Phelps,  and  -\ssjstant  IHstrict  ^Attorney  EoiHni, 
The  defense  was  that  the  brutal  treatment  cff  his  be.^ 
loved  mother  by  his  father  had  dethroned  the  pris-^' 
oner's  reason,  and  had  led  him.  at  a  moment-w-hen. 
his  father  betrayed  a  malignant  and  untruthfnl] 
spirit,  to  shoot  him  down.  The  trial  lasted  fiv* 
days,  and  ended  on  Wednesday,  July  *J.  with  a  ver- 
dict against  young  Walworth,  of  "murder  in  tha 
second  degree. "  Judge  Davis  prononneed  sentenco 
upon  the  convict  on  the  morning  of  Saturday,  July 
5.1873.  After  a  long,  pathetic  address,  lie  sen- 
tenced yonng  Walworth  to  be  confined  la  tho  State 
Prison  at  Sing  Sing,  for  "  the  full  term  ot  his  natu- 
ral life." 


XEXT  OF  KIX, 

Judge  Griswold,  of  Wisconsin,  has  Jnrt  do 
eided  a  curious  probate  case  in  Waukesha,  tho  cir- 
cumstances of  which  are  thus  described  in  a  telagraa: 
to  the  Ciiicago  Tiinee: 

EllaMay  Starr  died  intestate  In  December.  ISTfl 
underage  afld  without  ever  ha^'ing  been  married, 
having  at  the  time  of  her  death  an  estate  real  and 
personal  valued  at  SS.OOO,  which  she  inherited  from 
her  father,  .\ndr*:w  Jackson  Starr,  who  died  In  1870. 
Of  course  she  left  no  lawful  issue,  and  she  had  no 
mother  or  brother  or  sister.  She  also  had  no  grand* 
parents  on  the  side  of  her  deceased  father ;  bat  «he 
had  uncles  and  aunts,  five  in  number,  on  that  side. 
Both  grandparents  on  her  deceased  moth- 
er's side  aro  still  living,  and  they  f^»\m 
the  estate  in  preference  to  the  paternal 
uncles  and  aunts.  The  law  of  'Wisconsin  on  the  sub- 
ject of  descent  and  inheritance  provides  that  "  If  the 
intestate  shall  leave  no  issue  or  widow,  and  no 
father,  mother,  brother,  or  sister,  the  estate  shsU 
descend  to  his  next  of  kin  in  equal  decree."  &c.  Ac* 
cording  to  theci-vil  law,  the  maternal  grandparent  i 
are  nearer  of  kin  than  the  paternal  uncles  and  aunts, 
but  the  latter  claimed  that  although  they  were  one 
degree  further  removed  in  kinships  a?  the  estate  de- 
scended  to  Miss  Starr  from  her  deceased  father,  it 
should  go  to  the  next  of  kin  on  the  father's  side  as 
ancestral  property,  under  the  following  further  pro- 
vision of  the  Wisconsin  statutes : 

The  degrees  of  kindred  shall  be  eompntmS  aecordfaig  to 
the  rules  of  elvU  law ;  and  kindred  of  the  half  blood  shalL 
inherit  equally  with  those  of  tho  whole  blood,  in  the 
Banie  deRrec,  unless  the  inheritance  como  to  tho  Intesxat'S 
hy  des'-ent,  devise,  or  gift  of  some  one  of  Jila  anoestor&, 
in  which  case  all  those  who  are  not  of  the  blood  of  such 
ancestors  shall  be  excluded  from  such  iaheriionce. 

Judge  Griswold  decided  that  this  statute  relate* 
only  to  estates  claimed  by  kindred- of  half  blood.  In 
which  case  the  rule  as  to  anccBtral  descent  wiD  pre- 
vaiL  In  the  ease  before  the  court,  he  held  that  ^4 
estate  must  go  to  the  maternal  (rrandparents  as  next 
-of  kin  to  the  deceased,  without  regard  to  the  blood  or 
the  source  from  which  the  estate  ■was  derived.  The 
esse  is  an  important  one,  and  the  decision  is  the  firtf 
on  that  point  in  the  State.

Jl  BEWeW  OF  THE    CASE,  AKD  'WHAT   IS 
LIKELY  TO  BE  THE  EE8ULT. 
lb  tlu  editor  afOu  Ifaa-Tori  Tima : 

ItwiU  be  remembered  that  the  members 
of  the  Ltonisiana  Ketumlzig;  Bo»rd  were  lately 
iBJT^sted  and  held  to  bail  under  a  criminal  prose- 
cuHon  against  them.  The  prosecution  was  com- 
mancedin  Kew-Orieans  on  the  eve  of  thead- 
Jonnmient  for  the  Sujmmer  of  the  Criminal 
Cooxt  of  that  city.  The  defendants  are  thus 
txeduded  from  a  trial  of  their  cose  until  the 
reopening  of  the  court  in  October.  In  the 
meantime  they  rest  under  a  grave  accusation 
'which  they  proclaim  themselves  anxious  to  meet 
and  folly  aUe  to  refute. 

It  is  asserted  that  this  prosecution  has  been 
delayed  for  a  purpose  ;  that  it  is  intended  to 
exert  an  influence  in  the  coming  Fall  elections ; 
that  it  will  be  used  to  discredit  the  title  of 
President  Hayes ;  and  willafford  a  valuable  con- 
tribution to  the  charge  of  fraud  against  the  Be- 
pablican  Party.  This  charge  of  fraud  seems  to 
be  the  main  weapon  of  Democratic  attack.  It  is 
elaborately  pat  forward  in  the  false  and  vitu- 
iwrative  article  of  Judge  Black,  lately 
published  in  the  JVorih  American  Sevieir,  and 
bas  been  caught  up  and  echoed  by  the  whole 
Democratic  press  of  the  country.  Great  imjMr- 
tance  is  attached  to  the  vote  of  Louisiana  as 
cotmted  by  the  Electoral  Commission,  and  any 
step  taken  for  the  purpose  of  discrediting  the 
juition  of  the  Betuming  Board  which  canvassed 
(md  proclaimed  the  vote  of  the  Sta,te  is  fraught 
^*ith  aigniflcance,  and  becomes  a  subject  of  pub- 
jie  Interest.  With  this  view  it  is  proposed  to 
-  VgamiriB  briefly  the  Trnture  of  the  charge  against 
the  members  of  the  Returning  Board,  and  to 
state  the  circumstances  under  which  it  was  pre- 
ferred. 

The  Judge  and  District  Attorney  of  the 
Criminal  Court  of  New-Orleans  were  elected 
In  November  last  Their  election  was  pro- 
claimed by  the  Returning  Board  in  Decem- 
Mr,  and  they  entered  upon  the  discharge  of 
their  official  duties  in  the  early  part  of  the 
toUowing  January.  The  Grand  Jury  was  at  the 
'sane  time  impaneled  and  sworn  to  serve  for 
three  months.  The  alleged  misdeeds  of  the 
Stetuming  Board  were  soon  brought  pointedly 
to  their  consideration  by  the  Judge  and  District 
Attorney,  pronounced  Democratic  politicians. 
This  Grand  Jury,  however,  was  discharged  on 
the  last  of  March,  having  found  no  indictment 
against  the  Returning  Board.  The  next  Grand 
Jury  was  to  serve  for  the  term  of  April', 
May,  and  June.  No  action  appears  to  have 
been  taken  in  the  matter  during  the 
early  and  cventfot  part  of  their  term. 
At  this  period  President  Hayes'  Commission 
^na  busily  engaged  in  the  performance  of  its 
duties.  The  Grovemmentof  Packard  was  being 
disestablished,  while  that  of  Nicholls  was  nip- 
Jdly  developing  into  maturity.  Actsof  politicid 
violence  and  persecution  were  suspended  and 
discountenanced.  Th|e  members  o£  the  Be- 
toming  Board  had  just  beeu  released  from  a 
idx  weeks*  imprisonment  in  "Washington ;  and 
When  all  opposition  to  the  Nicholls  Government 
Was  completely  at  an  end,  and  the  new  Legisla- 
ture was  formed,  one  of  the  lirst  act.s  passed 
by  that  body  was  a  declaration  of  confidence  in 
the  President's  policy,  of  amnesty  to  those  who 
tad  differed  politically  with  thetii,  and  of  a  de- 
termioation  to  discontinue  further  "persecu- 
tion of  individuals"  for  past  political  offenses." 
This  statute  of  oblivion  was  generally  consid- 
ered as  having  particular  reference  lu  the  case 
of  the  Returning  Board. 

Not  long  afterward,  however,  the  subject  of 
'the  indictment  of  the  members  of  the  board  was 
'Again  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Grand  Jury 
by  the  Judge,  and  they  were  directed  to  invt^- 
^gate  iL  From  statements  in  the  Neiv-Orleans 
newspapers  it  is  gathered  that  the  results  of  the 
"investigation  of  the  Grand  Jurv  were  not  in 
barmony  with  the  expectations  of  the  Judge  of 
the  Criminal  Court.  The  Grand  Jiuy,  it  was 
asserted,  refused  upon  several  ballots  to  find  a 
T>ill  tf  indictment.  These  reports  led  to  their 
jbeing  publicly  reprimanded  by  the  Judge  for 
disclosing  the  secrets  of  their  sessions.  The 
jGrand  Jury  retorted,  but  the  quarrel  seems  to 
{have  been  soon  adjusted.  This  was  toward  the 
«nd  of  the  term,  and  still  no  true  bill  was  found. 
'  Under  the  hiws  of  Loui^ana  criminal  prose- 
cutions may  be  by  indictment  by  the  Grand 
J'ury  or  by  information  filed  l>y  the' Prosecuting 
Attorney.  It  is  unusual  for  a  prosecuting  ofilcer 
to  file  an  information  for  a  grave  offense  dnrin" 
the  session  of  the  Grand  Jury.  The  Grand 
Ju^  was  discharged  without  day  on  the  30th 
of  June ;  and  on  the  5th  of  July  the  Prosecuting 
Attorney  filed  an  Inf  onnation  against  the  mum- 
bers  of  the  Returning  Board  for  '"  uttering  aud 
publishing  as  true  a  certaiu  altercKi.  false, 
gorged,  and  counterfeited  public  record,"  to-wit, 
"the  "  returns  of  the  Pari><h  of  Vernon  of  an 
election  held  for  Presidential  Electors  in  the 
State  of  Louisiana  on  the  7th  ilay  of  Novem- 
ber, ll;$76,  knowing  the  same  to  bo  false, 
fdtered,"  &c. 

The  reason  assigned  by  the  District  Attorney 
for  his  irregular  and  ti^y  action  iu  tiling  im 
infoncation  when  the  Grand  Jury  had  refused 
to  present  a  bill  of  indictment,  was  that  the 
Toreman  of  the  Grand  Jury,  three  days  before 
their  di-schar^e,  re<:«immended  the  Judge  to  in- 
struct him  to  file  the  proper  iuformutiou^ 
against  the  members  of  the  Returning  Board 
for  "perjury,  forgery,  and  altering  the  re- 
turns of  Vernon  and  other  parishes."  This  pro- 
ceeding of  the  foreman  is  claimed  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Returning  Board  to  be  ■wholly  un- 
precedented. They  say  it  is  a  recommendation 
that  the  District  Attorney  should  file  an  in- 
formation iu  a  case  where  the  Grand  Jury  hail 
felt  themselves  unwarranted  in  finding  a  true 
bill  And  they  further  claim  that  the  recom- 
imendation  to  the  court  suggested  an  intomia- 
tion  only  for  "perjury,  forgery,  and  altering 
election  returns  :"  they  also  claim  that  it  tlid 
■not  cover  and  include  the  ofTenso  of  "  uttering 
and  pnbhshing,"  &c.,  for  which  they  are  being 
proceeded  against.  It  is  a  circumstance  highly 
significant  tlmt  the  offense  charged  in  the  in- 
tormation  is  confined  entirely  to  the  vote  for 
Fteddential  Electors,  and  does  not  allude  to 
JBrr  State  or  local  officer. 

Bearing  in  mind  theso  circumstances,  let  us 
^ow  proceed  to  examine  the  Charge  in  connec- 
tion with  the  statutes  of  Louisiana  baring  ref- 
lerence  to  it.  The  Election  law  of  1872  pro- 
vides that  the  Returning  Board  "  shall  meet 
In  New-Orleans  within  10  days  after  the 
closing  of  the  election  to  canvass  and  com- 
pile the  stBtemeuts  of  votes  made  by  the 
Commissioners  of  Election,  and  make  returns 
of  the  election  to  the  Secretary  of  State." 
The  same  act  provides  that  (section  8)  three 
.Commissi nrners  of  Election  shall  be  appointed 
(orjeach  pulling  place  in  each  parish,  to  hold  and 
leonduct  Uie  election ;  these  Commissioners  are 
Iceqtiired  immediately  upon  the  close  of  tho 
Ue>ction  to  cotint  the  ballots  at  the  polls,  to  make 
a  list  ofT  the  persons  voted  for,  the  votes  for 
each^  Ac,  and  forward  this  statement  to 
the  bnpto'visor  of  Registration,  and  a  duplicate 
to  the  Clerk  of  the  District  Court  for 
the  psifish.  The  Supervisor  then  consolidates 
these  lists  into  one  tabulated  statement  for  the 
parish^  which  he  forwards,  together  "with  the 
ozi^nttls  furnished  him  by  tho  Commissioners, 
to  the  returning  officers  of  election  for  tho  State, 
(toe  Returning  Board.)      The  Returning  Board 

Kreqiiired  to  canvass  and  compile  the  vote  lof 
State  from  the  original  documents  f umishld 
llT  the  Commissioners  of  Election  to  the  Su^r- 
^rnor,  and  by  him  forwarded  to  the  Returning 
Board,  and  not  from  the  consolidated  statement 
pt  the  vote  made  by  the  Supervisor.  This  con- 
aoUdated  statement  Of  the  Bupervervisor  seems 
intended  merely  to  show  the  number  of  polling 
plaoea  in  the  parish,  and  for  CQavemeitce,  the 
somher  of  votes  in  tabular  form. 

The  Commsaionen'  statementa  are  the  only 
eridenee  authorized  to  be  used  by  the  Return- 
ing B<Mzd  to  ascertain  the  vote  cast  in  the 
parish.  It  'will  thus  be  seen  that  while  the 
Commissioners'  statements  may  be  considered 
pnblio  records,  because  they  maike  legal  proof  of 
their  contents  and  are  required  to  be  preserved 
and  deposited  In  the  ofSce  of  the  Secretary  of 
State,  the  Supervisors'  statements  can  in  no 
penae  be  consiaered  as  such,  because  they  make 
BO  (ueh  proof,  and  the  returning  afilcers  are 
aat  required  by  law  to  preserve  or  deposit  them 
n  any  oiOce.  Indeed  it  is  said  that  the  return- 
ing ffiSceis  might,  if  thej  saw  fit,  even  destroy 
■leh  statementa  irithon*  'violating  any  law  or 
doing  any  injury. 

The  doctiment  alleged  to  ha-ve  been  altered 
and  uttered  and  published,  is  asserted  to  bo  the 
iBbolated  or  consolidated  statement  of  the  Su- 
jfarriMorf  wid  not  the  original  ComfluaBloners' 
zatnnui  oit  "V^omon  Pariah.  The  indlotment  ia 
iortha  alteDiaot   "attartngandpnblUUBf  «• 

-  ,-9MBtaiB'idlMad.ft]Mb  Xiattd.  anAomm- 


terfeited  public  reeord."  The  uttering  and  pub- 
lishing of  the  tabulated  statement  of  the  Snper- 
"visor  of  Vernon  Parish,  would  not  constitute  an 
offense  under  this  indictment,  since  that  state- 
ment, as  has  just  beeu  shovra,  is  not  a  public 
record.  It  would  seem  then,  from  this  view, 
that  the  charge  in  the  information  caimot  be 
sustained.  Besides,  the  members  of  the  Re* 
turning  Board  cannot,  ■with  truth,  be  said 
to  have  uttered  and  published  as  true 
the  statements  of  the  Supervisor,  nor 
even  the  statements  of  the  Comisissioners 
of  Election.  They  were  not  charged  with  the 
duty  of  uttering  and  publishing  these  original 
returns  and  statements :  their  sole  power  was  to 
canvass  or  compile  the  statements  of  votes 
sent  up  to  them,  imd  on  such  canvass  .  to  make 
and  declare  their  return  of  the  election.  'What 
they  uttered  and  published  as  true  was  their 
awn  return.  They  had  nothing  to  do  with 
uttering  and  pubUshing  any  return  made  to 
them  from  the  Parish  ot  'Vemon,  and  they 
never  professed  to  do  this.  They  were  vested 
with  express  power  under  the  terms  of  the  sta- 
tute to  alter  the  result  as  shown  by  the  Super- 
visors' consolidated  statement,  by  rejecting  any 
poll  or  polls  at  which  violence,  fraud,  &c.,  were 
used.  This  was  a  discretionary,  quasi-judicial 
power,  and  for  this  reason  the  law  refrained  from 
prescribing  any  penalties  against  the  Returning 
officers  for  the  performance  of  any  acts  within 
their  discretion.  Again,  it  would  seem  that  the 
uttering  and  publishing  of  false  returns  of  the 
election  in  the  Parish  of  Vemon  was  an  act  en- 
tirely inconsequential.  If  tho  returns  uttered 
and  published  had  been  unaltered,  aud  if  the 
Returning  Board  had  adopted  the  Democratic: 
figures  instead  of  those  they  are  said  to  have 
used,  the  result  of  the  vote  for  Presidential 
Electors  would  have  been  tho  same.  Vernon 
Parish  had  no  decisive  effect  upon  the  vote  of 
the  State.  If  the  Returning  Board  had  seen  fit 
they  might  have  rejected  the  whole  vote  of 
Vemon  Parish  'without  beingaccountable  to  any 
human  power  for  doing  .so.  There  seems  to 
have  been  no  motive  for  the  olfense  charged  ; 
and  the  act  itself  if  proved  could  have  injured 
and  defrauded  no  one. 

There  are  other  and  weighty  objections  urged 
against  the  legality  and  validity  of  the  informa- 
tion, which  go  to"  show  that  this  prosecution 
must  certainly  result  in  the  acauittal  of  the 
accused.  Hence  the  inference  forces  itself  irre- 
sistibly upon  every  candid  mind  that  the  prose- 
cution is  intended  solely  for  political  effect. 
This  inference  acquires  almost  the  force  of 
full  proof,  when  we  recall  the  circumstances 
under  which  the  information  was  filed,  that 
the  first  Grand  Jury  had  declined  to  indict  the 
Returning  Board,  and  that  the  succeeding 
Grand  Jury  likewise  failed  to  do  .so,  and  seem 
to  have  been  driven,  only  at  the  eleventh  hour, 
to  the  unprecedented  course  of  recommending 
the  Prosecuting  Attorney  to  inaugurate  a  pro- 
secution by  information,  which  they  had  them- 
selves declined  to  take  the  responsibility  of 
commencing  by  indictment. 

It  has  been  authoritatively  asserte<l  that  Gov. 
Nicholls  discountenances  th'is  prosecution,  upon 
the  ground  that  it  is  a  •riolation  of  the  faith  of  the 
Legislature  pledged  in  the  act  of  amnesty  and 
obUvion  already  referred  to.  The  title  of  the 
State  officials  is  in  no  manner  affected  by  the  al- 
leged utterance  and  publication  of  the  returns 
of  "Vemon  Parish.  Their  right  is  unchallenged. 
Tho  title  of  the  Presidential  Electors  is  alone 
sought  to  be  impaired,  or  at  least,  brought  into 
disrepute.  AVhcn  we  recollect  that  Judge  Black, 
in  his  article,  singles  out  the  returns  from  Ver- 
non Parish  as  a  special  subject  of  assault  in  con- 
nection with  the  return  of  the  Hayes  Electors 
by  the  Returning  Board,  it  is  reasonable  to  in- 
fer that  this  prosecution  has  lieen  inspired  or 
stimulated  through  Northern  Democratic  InHu- 
ences,andthat.irregtilar,  tardy,  andf  utile  though 
it  be,  it  is  designed  for  use  in  the  Fall  campaigns, 
before  its  groundlessness  and  illegtdity  can  pos- 
sibly be  judiciallv  expo.*«d. 

It  is  stated  by  "the  Herald  of  Julv  17  that  the 
original  returns  of  Vemon  Parish  are  now  io 
the  possession  of  Mr.  David  Dudley  Field.  Tliis 
fact  supports  the  theory  that  the  prosecution  of 
the  Louisiana  Returning  Board  is  intended 
'  raerelv  for  Democratic  capital ;  nt  the  same  time 
it  shows  that  the  New-Orleans  Grand  Juries 
have  been  right  in  refusing  to  present  a  bill  of 
indictment  against  the  members  of  the  Return- 
ing Board  for  uttering  and  publishing  a  false 
return,  when  the  return  itself  was  not  in  evi- 
dence before  them,  and  was  far  beyond  their 
reach.  It  further  shows  that  the  Prosecuting 
Attorney  in  New-Orleans  could  have  bad  no  suf- 
ficient ground  for  filing  on  information  iu  the 
case. 

New-Tokk,  Monday,  July  30,  1677. 


THE  XATWy  Ay D  THE  STATES. 
The  Nashville  (Tenn.)  Ameriean.  a  Democratic 
jonnial,  is  much  struck  by  the  "  vnst  change"  which 
has  came  over  the  country  in  the  past  20  years.  In 
an  article  referring  to  the  helplessness  of  the  State 
Governments,  as  displayed  in  the  late  labor  difficul- 
ties, it  says  :  "  The  popolace  smile  at  local  anthority, 
and  derisively  theow  stones  at  tho  State  military. 
There  is  no  difference  in  tlie  fighting  qoahtles.  In- 
deed, the  dtizen-soldiers  ore  equal  to  the  regulars  in 
that  respect,  and  often  superior.  The  one  part  of 
reality  is  present  with  both.  Tho  United  States 
troops  ore  armed  with  the  other  nine  porta — the  in- 
corporeal— the  idea  of  overshadowing  and  invincible 
po^er — that  which  has  shown  itsoU  uuconqnerahle — 
that  against  which  Lee  and  Jackson  hurled 
the  legions  of  the  South,  the  bravest  of  the 
brave,  for  four  years  of  almost  incessant  "vie- 
tory,  only  io  end  at  la^t  iu  dlKastroos,  final, 
and  irretrievable  defeat.  Then  the  United  States 
Government  acquired  the  idea  of  great  power  which 
which  is  of  so  much  more  value  than  even  power 
itself.  Half  the  foes  of  such  a  power  quatl  before  the 
idea,  and  the  blow  never  has  to  be  struck.  It  is  this 
idea  of  the  invincibiUty  of  the  L'nited  States  which 
causes  mobs  to  molt  away  before  the  advance  of  a 
Imndful  of  regulars,  when  thev  lau^h  at  Militia,  and 
deride  the  efforts  of  armed  Police.  It  is  not  desirable 
that  we  recnr  to  a  time  when  the  Vnited  States  had 
no  power.  It  L<  certainly  not  possible.  In  a  Govern- 
ment like  ours,  however,  it  is  desirable,  when  the 
powers  are  lUstributed.  to  have  each  arm  efficient, 
and  each  respected  and  feared  by  wronj*doers.  The 
States,  which  are  primarily  chanced  with  the  prote*!- 
tion  of  life  and  property,  are  either  to  be  made  effi- 
cient or  to  abdicate  their  functions  in  favor  of  the  cen- 
tral power.  No  part  of  government  can  retain  pow- 
ers it  will  not  or  cannot  use.  Tlio  power  of  pursuing 
order  and  enforcing  law  is  a  necessary  one.  No  gov- 
cmment  can  esist  without  it.  hurt  no  government 
can  afl'ord  to  neglect  violent  and  unlawful  dem- 
onstrations. If  the  Estates  alxlicate  their  functioiw. 
and  confess  their  belpleasiiess,  t  lien  tiie  people  will, 
of  their  own  motion,  quietly,  and  without  legal  en- 
actment,  transfer  -it  to  some  other  quarter.  The 
efficient  part  of  government  is  that  wliieh  commands 
respect  and  compels  men.  without  the  necessity  in 
most  cases  for  action  at  all — that  creation  of  the 
mind,  that  respect  for  power  and  deference  to  au- 
thority, which  allays  excitement  and  quells  insur- 
rection without  ever  striking  a  blow,  when  jwople 
know  it  can  and  will  strike.  As  sure  as  the  States 
do  not  preserve  that  respect  tlxey  were  intended  to 
have,  they  will  turn  over  all  the  efficient  part  of  gov- 
ernment to  the  Federal  power.  Men  most  respect 
and  revere  the  power  of  the  Stales  within  their 
sphere  of  well-denned  local  government  or  they  "will 
despise  their  weakness  and  triply  arm  the  Federal 
Government  with  power,  and  the  ability  and  will  to 
do,  and  that  which  ia  worth  more  than  power,  re- 
spect for  it,  and  faith  in  the  certainty  and  ef&cieney 
of  its  exercise." ^ ^ 

avys  OF  THE  FBEyCH  FIELD  ARTJLLEET. 
Two  batteries  of  each  of  the  19  regiments  of 
artillery  of  the  French  Army  have  either  lately  had 
issued  to  them  or  will  shortly  receive  new  steel  field 
pieces  of  95  millimetres  calibre.  There  are,  there- 
fore, at  present  three  classes  of  guns  in  the  French 
field  artillery-^namely,  the  75,  •  the  85,  and  the  95 
millimetre  pieces.  The  new  gun  consists  of  an  inner 
tube  of  cast-steel,  surrounded  by  rings  of  puddled 
steeL  Its  weight  is  700  kilogrammes,  its  length  2.5 
metres,  and  it  is  rified  with  28  grooves,  having  an 
incrwfrwTTig  twist.  The  gun  is  a  breech-loader,  closed 
with  an  Eastman  screw.  Tiie  vent  is  placed  so  that 
the  cartridge  is  ignited  ata  point  aboat  half  its  length 
from  the  bottom  of  the  bore.  The  shell  for  the  gtm 
weighs  eight  kilogrammes,  and  contahis  a  bursting 
charge  of  415  grammes.  Percussion  fuses  only  are  pro- 
vided both  for  the  common  and  shrapnol  shell.  The 
charge  consists  of  2.1  kilo^animes  or  coarse-groined 
Castan  powder,  which  gives  the  projectile  a  high 
initial  velocity.  At  2,000  metres  range  the  velority 
is  still  279  metres  per  second,  and  at  4,000  metres 
247  metres.  A  new  pattern  of  carriage  has  also  been 
designed  for  the  95  millimetre  gun.  composed  of 
Bteel  plates,  and  fitted  -with  a  simple  elevating  screw, 
by  wmch  the  necessary  elevation  for  6, 550  metres 
range  can  be  given.  Fresh  limbvis  and  ammunition 
wagons  will  not  be  manufactured,  but  those  already 
in  use  will  be  altered,  so  that  each  battery  shall  carry 
with  it  90  rotmds  per  gun.  i    |

WHAT  TO  MAILS  BRING. 

♦ 

GEOZOQT  OF  TEE  WEST, 

WHAT  WAS  StJGOESTED  BY  THE  BOBINQ  OP 
AN  AKTESIAK  WELL  FOB  THE  IKSANE 
ASYLUM  AT  sir.   LOUIS. 

Drom  the  St  LovU  Sepubliean. 
In  boring  the  artesian  well  at  the  Insane 
Asyhnn,  St  Louis,  the  anger  penetrated  3,800  fe«t, 
going  through  200  feet  of  coal  measures,  500  feet  of 
sub-carboniferous  limestones.  1,000  feet  of  Devo- 
nian aud  2,000  feet  of  upper  aud  lower  sUuriau,  aud 
iu  the  bottom  cut  a  brown  ferxugiuoua  aandatone, 
supposed  to  be  of  Potsdam  age. 

Tois  sandstone  carries  the  fossU  of  a  marine  ani- 
mal known  as  a  trilobit«,  and  establishes  the  fact 
that  at  3.500  feet  in  depth  bt-low  the  present  level 
of  the  MissLsaippi  River,  and  the  ^vemeuta  walked 
by  tile  busy  population  of  St.  Louis,  once  rolled  the 
waves  of  a  Silurian  ocean. 

We  will  suppose  tMs  aucer  hole  is  a  shaft  6  by  10 
feet  square  from  the  surface  to  the  bottom  of  the 
hole,  and  that  we  have  the  privilege  of  going  down 
and  eiamining  the  strata  iu  its  sidias  a«  they  would 
appear  from  the  records  shown  by  the  boring  as  the 
auger  penetrated  the  strata. 

Firet  we  pass  20  feet  of  alluvial  brick  clay,  then 
40  feet  of  pipe^day,  shaley  limestone,  aud  fire- clay, 
and  at  60  feet  deep  find  a  three-foot  vein  of  coal ;  at 
200  feet  we  reach  the  upper  Archimedes  lime- 
stone, the  samel  stratum  tliat  is  exposed  at  the  top  of 
the  deep  quarr>'  on  Tayon-avenue,  and  which  con- 
tains fossil  fish ;  this  is  also  the  same  age  of  rock  as 
the  Grafton  quarry.  B»*low  this  ia  the  St.  Louis  lime- 
stone, and  next  another  floor  of  Keokuk  or  Archi- 
medes limestone,  a  rock  filled  with  fossils.  At  1,200 
feet  we  reach  the  great  salt  and  oil  floors  of  the 
MLs-sissippi  basbi.  This  stjratum  comes  to-day  30 
miles  below  the  citv  on  the  I.  M.  and  S.  B.  R.,  and 
west  30  miles  on  "tho  M.  I*.  K.  B.,  and  from  a 
quarrv  south  of  tho  city  that  furnished  the  rock 
to  build  the  basement  of  tho  Four  Courts,  and  as 
that  rock  weathers,  its  black,  mottled  color  is  due 
to  the  bitumen  which  the  heat  of  Summer  baa 
brought  to  its  surface.  Chicago  ia  built  on  tills  geo 
logical  horizon,  and  strata  in  quarry  west  of  that  city 
are  filled  with  bitumen  aud  petroleum.  If  space  would 
admit,  we  might  trace  this  floor  throughout  tho 
length  and  breadth  of  the  ereat  basin  of  the  Missis- 
sippi and  show  where  it  rfoes  to-day,  and  has  again 
gone  down  4.000  and  5,0U0  feet  under  the  coal 
laeaisures  of  the  grand  prairies  of  Illinois  and  Kan- 
t:as,  and  is  formetl  in  a  great  basin  In  Venanifo  Conu- 
ty,  Penn..  and  this  again  subdivided  in  lesser  basins, 
and  where  the  economic  laws  had  stored  the  rich 
Hoora  of  petroleum  that  have  proveu  such  a  source  of 
national  wealth.  But  we  must  ro  downward.  At 
2,000  feet  we  have  reached  the  Niagara  group  of  the 
upper  sUuriau  seriea,  a  rock  rich  in  fossils,  and  of  the 
same  age  as  that  over  which  the  great  cataract  poura 
its  thundering  falls.  |  This  j*ock  also  forms  the  table- 
lands of  lowa^  west  K>f  Dubuque,  aud  is  the  forma- 
tion of  the  miimmUlary  outlving  mountains,  that 
mark  such  a  conspicuous  feature  in  tlio  topograpliy 
of  the  uppor  Mississippi  lead  field.s ;  also  lorni.s  Iho 
mound  system  of  the  great  lead  nud  zinc  fields  of 
Central ilissouri.  Belo^' this  we  reaoli  the  "Tren- 
ton limestone,"  a  member  of  the  Silurian  system,  and 
same  age  of  rock  as  found  sht-lving  out  at  low-water 
mark  on  tlie  Mississippi  Klver  opposite  Dubuque, 
Iowa  and  whore  the  weathering  of  the  slabs  has  ex- 
p08e<i  iu  an  embosned  form  the  tribe  of  tho  ortAo«rc- 
ratites.  These  fossils  are  there  seon  six  and 
10  feet  in  lenctli.  and  with  their  enameled 
scales  and  bucklers  were  the  mailed  war- 
riors of  Ltho  hilnrian  neas.  Delow  wo  Jind 
the  lower  floors  of  lower  silurian,  cbest-hcds,  horn- 
stone,  and  (foraline  limestone,  the  same  ago  of  rock 
as  that  which  abuts  n-rtiinst  the  Iron  Moun- 
tain on  its  west  t-ide,  and  Is  tho  great  lead.  zinc,  cop- 
per, and  iroh-benring  rock  of  southeast  Missouri.  In 
passing  the  Archimedes  floor  in  the  subcarboniferous 
system,  we  were  iu  the  horizon  of  strata  that  carries 
the  great  load  and  zinc  veins  of  youth- west  3kni>souri. 
And  in  passing,  the  Niagara  and  Trtmton  itroups  we 
were  inthe  horizon  of  the  blue  shales.  cai>-rook,  uj>- 
jier  and  lower  galena  and  blue  limestone  of  tlie  nu- 
jwr  Mississippi  lead  field.  On  reaclilng  the  hottom 
of  our  shaft  we  find  a  coarse,  br«>wn.  fermginous 
sandstone :  and  we  might  in  the  imagination  follow 
this  tloor  to  \^liertt  it  rises  to-day  around  tho  Iron 
Mountains,  100  miles  south  of  tlm  city,  aud  where  it 
dips  under  thb  great  coal  basins  of  i-eutral  Illinois 
and  Kansas,  and  comfs  to-day  on  the  shores  »if  Lake 
Pepin,  Lake  Superinr,  and  covering  large  areas  in 
northern  Wisconsin,  being  the  stratum  that  bears  the 
great  pine  flora  of  that  Sute.  and  to  where  it  extend* 
out  from  the  "great l>afiiu"  in  along  finger  through 
central  New-Vork." 

We  liave  now  a  p»>noral  idea  of  tlie  nudcrirround 
system  under  this  city;  and  if  we  go  back  in  tho  im. 
agination  to  the  time  when  the  strata  of  the  upper, 
middle,  aud  lower  coal  ^eries  hml  bi'en  laid  down, 
and  the  inaugnration  of  tho  river  systems  com- 
meured.  wd  shall  find  tliat  the  coal  vein  of  St.  Louis 
County  coal  h.'t3in  and  the  IlUnoi-s  coal  baMn  in  that 
era  lav  in  solid  strata  where  tho  Missisgippi  River 
now  llows — that  tho  strata  were  elev.-ited  nh'ngthe 
line  noSv  followed  by  the  river,  and  3O0  feet  of  rr.al 
measures  and  St.  I^ouis  liuicstone  has  born  abrndt-d, 
and  a  coal  vein  for  10  miles  wido  has  IwM'n  cut  away 
to  form  tlie  valley  through  which  tho  river  now  flows 
opposite  the  city. 

The  science  of  geology  is  h,i.<pd  on  the  idea  that  liko

The  Mississippi  River  carries  out  millions  of  tons 
of  sedimentsry  nuitter«laily  fn>m  tho  wa.shings  of  the 
banks  of  lis  hundred  tributaries  to  the  (iiilf  of

Gulf  Stream,  and  carried  north  and  spread  over  tho 
floor  of  the  Atlantic,  when  it  settle*  in  comparatively 
still  water  ujider  what  is  known  as  the  Sar>:n»sa  sea, 
and  if  we  follow  up  the  trenetklojiioal  thread  or 
heraldry  of  this  river  system,  wo  shull  ^eu  that  this 
process  of  spreading  detrltal  matterovertho  ocean's 
floor  has  be^i  going  on  since  the  river  system  in  tiie 
'■great  basin"'  was  inaugurated,  and  .the  wearing

here  we  now  see  tlie  causes  in  action  t  ,ut  at  one

ocean's  floor,  the  sedimentary  matter  to  form  the 
Potsdam  sandstone,  now  bored  in  the  bottom  of  this 
artesian  well,  and  aU  the  strata  above  to  the  thick- 
ness of  G.OOO  feet  were  afterward  piled  on  to  the 
floors  of  subseauent  .<ieas.  TJia  history  or  chronologj,- 
of  these  strata  is  wxitten  in  the  fossils,  salt  aud  oil 
flows  and  coal  plants  which  grew  in  successive  floras, 
and  were  laid  down  and  are  now  carlwnized  iu  min- 
eral fuel  in  these  great  continental  coal  basins.  The 
Iron  Mountain  lead,  zinc,  and  copper  veins  belong  to 
a  later  era,  a  comparativelv  recent  geological  epoch, 
as  there  was  no  neces-sity  for  the  existence  of  these 
ores  until  men  had  como  to  have  dominion  on  the 
earth  and  to  be  conditioned  to  utilize  these  metals. 

Whenstanding  on  tills  floor  of  Potsdam  aandstore,  we 
may  safely  say  that  in  this  early  day  of  the  chronology 
of  the  strata  navies  did  not  ride  upon  the  boiiom  of 
the  deep  to  founder  and  eo  down  with  all  their  arma- 
ture of  war,  as  would  ho  found  if  Atlantic's  floor 
should  be  dry  land.

unfit  and  incompetent  men.  Mr.  James  E.  White, 
Superintendent  of  tho  Sixth  DiWsIon,  comprising  the 
States  of  nUnolB,  Iowa,  Michigan.  Minnesota,  Wis- 
consin, Nebraska,  Dakota,  and  Wyoming,  took  the 
necessary  steps  iu  compliance  with  this  order.  The 
Michigan  employes  were  examined  at  Chicago  until 
Jantiary  of  this  year,  when  they  were  turned  over  to 
Mr.  S.  A.Griggs,  Superintendent  of  Mails  in  the  Detroit 
Post  OfQce,  whose  commission  as  chief  head  clerk  of 
the  railway  service  in  Michigan  had  arrived  two  or 
three  mouths  previous.  The  examinations  since  pur- 
sued by  Mr.  Gri^a  have  been  very  thorough  and  sat- 
isfactory In  their  results,  and  the  route  agents  of 
Michigan  are  to-day  classed  among  the  beat  in  the 
United  States.  A  brief  outline  of  the  manner  in 
which  an  examination  la  conducted  may  be  of  Interest. 
In  this  State  there  are  about  200  route  agents,  and 
1, 247  offices  for  tho  receipt  of  mail  matter,  such  as 
letters,  postal  cards,  newspapers,  &c.  The  object  is 
to  try  to  so  familiarize  the  route  asent  with  the  loca- 
tion of  every  small  Post  Office  ui  the  State  that 
he  will  make  no  mistakes  in*  distributing 
the  mail  matter  which  goes  through  his 
hands  on  the  train.  Once  a  monUi  Mr. 
Griggs  summons  eight  or  ten  men  to  report 
themselves  at  liis  office  at  a  i^rtaln  day  and  hour. 
If  the  candidates  are  habitually  careless  or  poorly 
posted  in  their  duties,  they  will  toe  tho  mark  on  tho 
eventful  »iay  with  many  misgi\-lng8  and  faces  expres- 
sive of  mucb  inward  woe  and  contrition.  Eatm  of 
the  men  is  furnished  with  a  shallow  ■  frame  or  case, 
containing  quite  a  number  of  small^  ct)mpartinenta  or 
pigeon  holes,  representing  the  vario^is  county  offices 
m  the  State.  These  he  ia  required  to  label  correctly, 
and,  having  done  so,  1,247  small  cards,  bearing  the 
zuunes  of  all  tlie  Post  Offices  in  the  State,  big  aud 
little,  are  put  into  his  hands  for  distribution.  The 
operatiou  fa  to  bo  performed  as  rapidly  as  though  the 
box  wore  ou  the  train  and  the  cards  were  all  letters. 
When  the  distribution  Is  finished,  tho  work  Is  exam- 
ined by  Mr,  Griggs,  who  submits  to  his  superior 
a  detailed  statement  of  the  examination  and  its 
results.  At  the  last  examination,  for  instance,  Mr. 
Sobersides  made  only  sLi  mistakes  and  one  omission 
in  the  distriburiou  of  liis  1,247  cards.  Mr.  Slingem- 
fltrai^t  did  even  better,  making  only  one  mistake. 
MrTfiifallible  made  no  mistake  at  all  On  the  other 
band  Mr.  V.  K.  Reliable  lost  his  self-posaeasion,  be- 
came frightened,  and  threw  about  200  xnissives  into 
the  moys  fioxes.  There  U  no  regular  order  cr  rota-

In  the  acctiracy  with  which  the  maila  are  now  dis-

Further  details  { jrekching  tis  from  official 
sources,  in  r^ard  to  the  L:apitulationof  Nikopolis,  are 
as  follows:  Onthe  l;2tlJ,  15th.  and  16th  Inst,  the 
town  was  severely  l>qnib!arded  by  the  Roumanian  bat- 
teries at  Islacz,  and  the  Russian  field  artillery  posted 
south  and  west  of  the  fortress.  The  fortress  was 
actually  surrounded|on  the  land  sido  by  tho  Rus- 
sians, and  their  shells  could  be  plainly  seen  from 
the  ISoumanian  sidja  bursting  upon  the  Turkish 
fortifications.  The  fight  on  the  last  day  was 
very  stubborn,  especially  upon  the  storming  of  the 
southern  forts,  the  possession  of  which  was  vigor- 
ously disputed  for  several  hours.  The  Turks,  how- 
ever, overwhelmed  by  superior  numbers,  were  com- 
pelled to  retire  into  the  fortress.  ^Vliile  this  column 
was  effecting  its  retreat,  another  battalion  made  a 
sortie,  and  attacked  jhe  advancing  Russians  ou  their 
flank.  At  that  mo'mbnt,  however,  the  Roumanian 
batteries  from  IsIhczI  directed  their  fire  upon  the 
Turkish  battalion,  which  was  soon  compelled  also 
to  re-enter  the  fdrfl.!  Tho  battle  lasted  till  9  at 
nIght^,  when  the  Russians  had  occupied 
all  tho  positional  before  the  city  former^ 
ly  held  by  tjie  Turks.  The  Russian 
troops  fought  braVoly,  and  were  commanded  by  Boron 
Kriidener.  They  belonged  to  the  Ninth  Corps,  and 
consisted  of  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  one  di- 
vision of  cavalry.  The  losses  are  now  reported  to  be 
much  more  seve're  tliau  at  first  supposed.  Yesterday 
the  Turkish  troops,  immbering  0,000  men,  indudiiig 
the  garrison,  under  (the  command  of  Hassan  Pasha 
and  Ahmed  Pasha,  are  reported  to  have  surrendered, 
together  ^th  two  monitors  aud  40  cannons.  To-day 
the  Cossacks  of  Bartm  Kriidener  are  said 
to  have  reached  Lbm  Palauka.  advancing  toward 
Widdin.  *  The  Turks  burned  their  stores  before 
surrendering,  and  cbnsunied  tho  principal  buildines 
of  the  town  situated  upon  the  wharf,  so  tliat  Nikopolis 
now  presents  a  mora  WTetched  appearance  llian  over. 
TheTurlra  set  a  bouf;e  on  fire  after  the  surrender,  but 
the  fire  was  extinguifihed  by  Russian  soldiers.  Anum- 
ber  of  Turks  remain(^in  thetown.  being  taken  bv  sur- 
prise. To-day  someiCossacks  were  jiassing  a  Turk- 
ish house,  wheu  one 'of  them  was  killed  by  a  shot 
from  a  window.  TliS!  comrades  immediately  rushed 
into  the  house  and  4i-''paitched  the  two  Turks  found 
there.  Two  powderinaiguziues  were  blown  up  by  tho 
Russians  during  fhedombat  of  yesterday. 

At  2  this  afternoon  the  long  line  of  Turkish  piis- 
oners  began  to  file  do^viii  the  road  leading  from  the 
citadel  to  the  river.  '  \\'ben  tlie  bank  was  reached 
they  squatted  upoii  'tho  sand  and  coolly  awaited 
transportation  to  the  Roumanian  side  of  the  Danube. 
They  were  all  regulars,  i  the  Bashi-Bazuuks  aud  Cir- 
cas.sKins  having  ;;one  [uwisy  some  time  ago.  Ahmed 
and  Ha-ssan  Pasha.s,  the  commanders  of  the  Turkish 
troops,  are  among  the  prisont^:)*.  Nut  many  inhabi- 
tants remain  in  Nikopolis.  The  Turks  J  saw  to-day 
appeared  to  be  objects  of  nomplote  indifTerence  to 
the  Ku.ssian  soldiers;  and  were  ptnuitted  to  wander

The  Tokio  SvUfS  says:  *' The  wrestling  at 
Eko  In,  a  few  steps  itrcm  Riogoku-bashl  on  the  Honjo 
side  of  the  river,  has  been  the  feature  of  the  week's 
amusement  ca^endjor.  On  Wednesday  afternoon, 
when,  following  the  fashion,  wo  attended  the  exhibi- 
tion, a  number  of  Interesting  contests  took  place. 
On  this  day  86  couples  strove  for  victorj-.  including 
many  of  the  most  celebrated  athletes  of  the  company. 
Beginning  at  an  early  hour,  from  mom  to  noon  they 
fell,  from  noon  to  liewy  eve,  a  Summer's  day,  and 
to  each  fall  the  ;  excitement  of  the  thousands 
of  spectators  broke  oyer  into  noisy  exclamations  and 
hastily  hurled  gifts  for  tho  conquerors.  Two  com- 
bats were  of  e-special  interest.  One.  between 
Kozaki  and  Deshnkuyatna,  resulted  in  the  latter 
being  caught  up  and  carried  like  a  lump  beyoud  the 
line,  a  feat  rewardjed  with  load  applause.  The  strug- 
gle between  Musashigata,  the  tallest  aud  one  of  the 
strouMSt  wrestlen^  in  i  Japan,  and  the  redoubtable 
Sakaigawa,  the  leader,  on  the  eastern  side,  was  also 
an  incident  of  iprpdlgious  interest.  The  men 
were  introduced  witli  much  ceremony  and  had 
an  umpire  of  ;  fatme  as  arbitrator.  After 
inauy  futile  Btarts,iln  which  the  wary  and  experienced 
champions  tried  tolgotj  an  advantaije  in  the  hold,  a  fair 
clinch  was  obtained  arid  the  battle  began.  Each  man 
was  a  good  specimen  of  bis  clues,  Musashigata  being 
tsdl  and  muscular^  while  Sakuiga^va  runs  largely  to 
adipose  tissue.  Itiwas,  as  a  neighbor  expressed  it,  a 
fight  between  length  and  breadth.  The  struggle,  when 
once  begun,  was  of  shcjrt  duration,  the  gi^ntic  Sa- 
kaigawa burhng  his  elongated  adversary  beyond  the 
boundary  with  appareiict  case.  TliLs  engagement  con- 
cluded the  first  i>srt,  after  which  followed  a  number 
of  wrestles  between  Iciwer-class  athletes,  who,  bow- 
ever,  are  by  no  means  l^abes,  and  who  went  to  work 
with  mettle-  The  youngsters  make  up  in  agility,  iu 
a  measure,  for  their  lack  of  weight,  and  some  of  the 
hardest  falls  of  the  dajr  occurred  in  this  part  of  tlie 
programme.  The  te<Uous  preparation,  liowever,  with 
its  washing  and  :salt-spnnkUng,  its  llmb-slappin», 
vain  croucninga,  amd  fiuse  starts,  detracted  ^reatty 
from  the  pleasure  of  the  spectators,  however  impor-

THE  LEGACY  TAX— WHEN  AN  Efi^-ATE  BECOMES 

LIABLE  TO  THE  TAJ:. 

Washikgtox,  Ang.  1. — The  following  de- 
cisions have  beeu  rendered  iu  the  United  States  Su- 
preme Court : 

No.  201— Otis  Clapp,  Collector  of  Internal- Reve- 
nue, phuntiff  in  error,  vs.  William  P.  Mason  aud 
Charles  Henry  Parker.— In  error  to  tho  Circtiit  Court 
of  the  United  States  for  the  District  of  Massachu- 
setts.— The  plaiutlfEs  below  brought  their  action 
against  the  CJollector  of  the  Internal  Revenue  to  re- 
cover back  a  tax  paid  to  him  -to  avoid  distraint.  The 
facts  are  these  :  Willi&m  P.  Mason,  the  plaintiffs 
testator,  died  Dec.  4,1867.  By  his  will  the  real  estate 
upon  which  the  tax  in  question  was  l6\i«d  wiis  de- 
vised to  hi«*  widow  for  her  life,  or  until  she  should 
cease  to  occupy  the  same  as  a  place  of  residence,  and 
upon  her  death,  or  ceasing  so  to  occupy  the  same,  to 
the  plaintiff.  The  widow  occupied  the  said  real 
estate  as  her  residoiice  until  her  death,  Jtme  17, 
1872.  The  tax  in  question  was  assessed  on 
the  15th  of  May,  1873,  by  the  Assessor  of 
said  district,  and  ou  the  Slst  of  May.  1S73, 
the  plaintiff  paid  th'e  defendant  the  said  tax 
under  protest,  to  avoid  distraint  or  other 
forcible  process  to  collect  the  same.  The  court  held 
that  the  tax  was  illegally  imposed,    and  gave

ment  that  the  party  paying  It  should  recover 
the  amount  with  interest.  The  Collector  appeals.  The 
relationship,  if  any,  between  the  deceased  and  the 
devisees  does  not  appear.  The  identity  of  names  is 
suggestive  upon  the  point,  but  no  facta  In  relation  to 
it  are  contained  in  the  record.  It  is  conceded  that 
under  the  United  States  statute  of  1864  the  tax 
would  have  been  a  proper  one.  The  statute  of  July 
14,  1870.  repealed  the  taxes  imposed  by  the  act  of 
1864  ou  legacies  and  successions  after  tho  first  day  of 
August,  1870.  (10  Stat.  XT.  S.,  261,  sec  17.)  the 
repealing  act  contained  the  following  proviso  : 

"  And  all  acts  and  parts  of  acts  relating  to  the  taxes 
herein  repealed ;  und  (that)  all  tho  pro\isions  of  said  acts 
shall  contbiue  in  fuU  force  for  le^•yin(I  and  collecting  all 
taxes  properly  asne&sed  or  liable  to  b*j  assessed,  or  accru- 
ing under  the  provtsions  of  former  acts,  or  drawbacks, 
the  right  to  which  haS' already  accrued,  or  which  may 
hereafter  Bccme.  imder  sold  acts,  aud  for  maintaining 
and  continuing  liens,  flncs,  penalties,  and  forfeitures  in- 
curred under  and  by  virtue  uierecf,  and  this  act  shall  not 
be  coiistmcd  tu  uffcci  any  act  done,  right  accrued,  or  pen- 
alty Incurred  undtjr  former  acts,  but  every  such  act  is 
hereby  saved-" 

The  Collector  insists  that  tho  tax  upon  the  succes- 
sion in  question  liad  accrued  before  tho  repeal  of  the 
act  of  1864,  to  wit :  That  it  accrued  upou  the  death 
of  tho  testator  in  1867.  The  devisees  contend  that 
the  tax  did  not  accrue  until  they  came  into  the  pos- 
session of  the  land,  and  tliat  before  this  occurred  the 
statute  authorizing  the  tax  was  repealed.  Tlie  ques- 
tion is.  when  did  the  ripht  to  this  tax  accrue — 
at  the  death  of  the  testator,  or  at  the  death 
of  the  widow,  wheu  the  plaintiff  became  en- 
titled to  the  possession  of  tho  land  T  By  the 
statute  of  lj^64,  as  a  part  of  a  system  of  taxa- 
tion made  uecessaiy  by  the  existence  of  a  civil  war,  a 
tax  was  imposed  uj^m  the  "  Fu<vessiou  to  real  est  tte." 
(13  Statutes  at  Large,  287.)  Tho  term  "real 
estate"  was  defined  to  inclndo  all  lamlri, 
tenements,  hereditaments,  corporeal  and  incorporeal, 
and  a  "succession"  was  deci8r»;d  to  denote  "the 
devolution  of  title  to  any  real  estate."  (Secrion  120.) 
By  section  127  it  is  provided  tliat  ony  disposition  by 
will  or  deed  or  descent,  by  reason  whereof  ony  j>er- 
Fon  shall  become  Ifcneficially  entitled  in  possession 
or  expectjmcy  to  any  real  estate  or  any  interest  there- 
in upon  the  death  ot*  any  person,  shall  be  deemed  to 
confer  a  suecesMon.  The  argument  made  upon  this 
section  bv  tlie  plaiutlflf  in  error,  tliat  the  will  of 
"William  F.  Ma-^on  conveyed  an  estate  to  William  P. 
Ma*»on  and  Charhs  H.  Parker,  and  that  although  thoy 
Were  not  entitled  to  immediate  jtofisession,  they  had  a 
vested  estate,  and  that  the  succes.^ion  to  such  an  estate 
was  made  taxai>Ie.  we  readily  admit.  We  agree  fur- 
ther that  vested  estates  not  only,  but  estates  which 
are  not  vestc-d.  tho-'^e  in  expectancy  merely,  are  with- 
in the  statute.  (Winiple  vs.  Forda.  2  John,  R.  288.) 
The  admission,  however,  does  not  aid  us  in  deciding 
tho  point  before  us.  as  the  question  of  time  still 
arifcs.  when  is  this  vested  estate  ta.xable.  Tlio  de- 
cision is  that  the  .succession  i.**  not  taxable  until  the 
successor  Is  entitled  to  poswsslon.  In  this  case  the 
successor  did  not  bec-omo  entitled  to  the  pos.sessiou 
or  eujo\Tnent  of  the  estato  until  the  death  of  the 
widow,  which  ocmrred  June  17,  1K72  ;  the  wivintr 
'clause  therefore  does  not  reach  the  ca?e.  Affiimed. 
Mr,  Justice  Hunt  delivered  the  opinion.

banging  llower  baskets.  Many  huudredi^  of  fail 
hands  must  have  been  engaged  for  weeks  in  prepar- 
inir  the  mat^riBls  for  this  grand  displ.ay.  and  a  finex 
tribute  could  scarcely  be  paid  to  the  memories  of  the 
heroes  and  heroines  of  the  day  celebrated.  The  body 
of  the  Tabernacle  waa  rosex^^d  for  tho  Sundav- 
schools,  and  waa  pretty  well  filled  with  the  neatly 
dressed,  happy  children,  who  seemo^l  to  enjoy  the  ■ 
grand  scene  and  their  own  part  In  the  exercises  ■•X 
the  day.  The  galleries  were  occupied  by  .spectators, 
and  appeared  lo  be  crowded,  the  chairacter  of  the 
audience  showing  a  general  Interest  tn  the  eiercLies- 
The  programme,  wtJch  consisted  prlncipallv  of  songs 
by  the  children,  waa  dlversiflec  bv  mu.-iic  by  the 
Teutli  Ward  band,  oraan  solos,  recitations,  and  au 
address  by  President  Brlgharo  Young.  During  th*f 
exercises  lemonade  and  bans  wore  frMlv  distributed 
among  the  children  12,000  of  the  latter  being  re- 
quired to  satisfy  aJd.  It  was  tJie  remark  of  g'^od 
ju-'gesthat  tho  children  performed  their  parts  a '1- 
mirably,  showing  careful  fraining  and  attention  by 
their  teadiers.  Very  much  of  tho  success  of  the 
entertainment  is  dne'  to  the  thorough  drilling  which 
the   loaders    of   the    ward    choirs    aad    given    tho 

Supils  for  the  last  few  weeks.  Evcrj-body  seemed  ti» 
e  pleased  with  the  naturalness  and  kweetue^^  of  tha 
music  President  Young's  address  was  an  answer  to 
the  auestlon,  'Why  are  we  herel'  lie  revJowod 
comprehensively  the  history  of  tho  Latter-djiv  Sa,iiiU- 
and  their  wanderings  from  the  time  Jusepli  Smitii 
discovered  the  Book  of  Mormon  to  the  day.  just  HC 
years  ago.  when  the  speaker  with  the  fir*t  company 
of  Vtoh  nilgrims  passed  thrpugh  En»,jrrati«in  _  Otiiou 
aud  pitched  their  tents  in  this  city.  Tliey  were 
driven  here  by  persecution,  and  they  came  here  tc 
stay  and  build  up  a  i>aradise  in  tlie  desert.  The* 
were  now  the  happiest  and  best  people  on  earth.  aii<i 
had  realized  many  of  their  anticipations  by  cominir  tt 
this  part  of  the  countrj-.  In  conclusion,  Presid.mt 
Young  gave  tho  children  some  good  advure  on  the 
bi^is  uf  the  commandment :  Serve  God  and  honor 
your  parents.  The  address  was  listened  to  with  dei^p 
attention  by  the  andience,  and  the  entire  celebration 
was  of  a  character  to  be  lonf;  and  pleasantly  remem- 
bered by  all  participating  In  It."

CBURCn YARDS  IN  GREAT  BRITAIN. 
The  Manchester  .£i>ai»t/ier  says  :  "One  of  the 
argumeuts  constantly  insisted  upon  bythe  supporters 
of  thf  Burials  bill  which  the  Government  abandoned 
was  that  the  number  of  parish  church -yards  was  grad 
ually  diminishing,  wliilo  public  ceoneteries  were- 
belng  rapidly  provided,  from  which  it  was  concluded 
that  the  grievance  of  Kouconformists  was  betoff 
effectually  remedied,  and  ikffected  a  very  amall  pro- 
portion of  the  people.  A  return  recently  published 
contains  a  statement  of  tlie  poptilation,  places  of 
worship,  aud  burial  erounds  in  England  and  Wales, 
and  the  particulars  it  dh^closes  show  most  tmques- 
tionably  that  the  Government  argument  Is  entirely 
and  absolutely  unfounded  iu  fact.  iSo  far  is  it  from 
being  true  that  parish  church-yards  are  beln^  rapidly 
closed  and  new  cemeterie.n  substituted  for  tliem,  that 
of  the  former  only  1,411  have  been  closed,  and 
12,26t2  are  still  used  for  interment ;  while  as  regard* 
cemeteries,  only  G39  have  been  constructed  in  the 
whole  coimtry  under  the  Burials  acts.  The  return 
^ows  that  the  number  of  consecrated  places  of  wor- 
ship is  15,468,  14,374  being  in  England  and  1,094 
in  Wales.  Of  these,  12,638  in  England  and  1,005  in 
"Wales  have  church-yards  attached  ;  but  1,364  in  Eng- 
4imd  and  47  in  Wales  have  hoen  closed,  leaving, 
therefore,  a  total  of  12,262  burial  grotmds  attached 
to  churches  In  wluch  the  interment  of  Xonoonform- 
ists  according  to  their  own  rites  is  forbidden.  There 
are  20,400  unconsocrstod  places  of  worship  in  Eng- 
land and  Wales,  aud  only  4. 144  of  theee  In  Eu[^ancL 
and  !^30  in  Wales  li&ve  had  burial  grounds  attached, 
to  them  ;  the  number  closed  in  En^and  is  92J*.  and 
in  Wales  34  ;  so  that  the  number  of  burial  *p'uces 
belonging  to  Nonconformists  of  all  communions  ia 
at  present  4,111.  Tho  fact  is  thus  estabUshed  l^t 
the  unconsecrated  burial  {^rounds— tliose  In  nrhifdi 
Nonconformists  are  frtje  to  u.<^  their  owu  servlpes — 
number  about  5,000,  including  cemetei-iM : 
■while  there  are  nearly  13,000  chtirch-yarda  .still 
available  for  burial  ptirpoees  and  claimed  as  the  ex- 
clusive property  of  the  Establb<bed  Church,  ^he 
cemeteries  are  found  in  the  nela^hborhxxjd  of  lA\e 
loige  towns,  and  the  only  burial  place  in  the  rurt  I

that  tliere  is  i-e;dly  about  thirty-five  millions 
uvailablc  for  resumption  purposes,  because 
of  the  .T;lO,4:77,i"iT-l  charjied  against  '"in-

vincing a  good  many  people  of  the  certainty 
of  being  ablo  to  redeem  the  resumption 
pledge  who  aro  now  exceedingly  skeptical 
ou  that  point.  The  volume  of  outstanding 
legal  tenders  is  litnng  steadily  decreased, 
and  there  aro  some  seventy-seven  millions 
of  the  legul-teuder  circulation  now  locked 
up  in  tho  Treasurv". 


A  combined  demonstration  of  railroad 
employes,  miners,  ami  other  artisans  on 
strike  at  Scranton  led  yesterday  to  a  serious 
riot,  and  tjO  the  loss  of  several  lives.  It  is 
the  oM  story  of  workmen  joining  with  vaga- 
bonds in  tbe  pursuit  of  robbery,  arson,  and 
niiuder,  assuming  the  position  of  rebels 
ugf.inst  law  and  order,  and  thus  depriving 
of  all  sympathy  their  efforts  to  procure  the 
redress  of  gi'ievances  which  may  be  of  a 
l--'  rfectly  tangible  character.  The  law- 
f. biding  peoplo  of  tho  United  States  will 
'regret,  not  tliat  three  or  four  of  the  Scran- 
tou  rioters  were  killed,  but  that  the  rifles 
of  tho  volunteer  company  cliarged  with 
tiie  •5>rotPction  of  X'^operty  did  not 
do  more  execution.  It  is  inconceivable 
that,  men  sliould  be  worked  up  to  tlio  pitch 
of  trxa:-i>eration  shown  yesterday  at  Seran- 
ton  -without  ha-i-ing  a  great  many  real  as 
"Well  as  fancied  -wrongs  to  complain  of.  But 
it  is  einially  obvious  that  after  their  resort 
tCithe  tactics  of  the  rulKan  and  the  thief, 
tipy  -\vill  have  less  chance  of  obtaining  a 
.ijearing  for  their  complaints  than  if  they 
had  never  struck  at  all. 


We  publi.'ih  to-day  a  communication  set- 
ting forth  with  great  clearness  and  force 
the  merits  of  the  prosecution  of  tho  Louis- 
iana Returning  Board.  The  ^vriter  points 
out  that  though  the  alleged  misdeeds  of 
t4io  Bo;)i".l  were  brought  to  the  notice  of  the 
lir.Mid  Jury  which  w":is  in  session  from  Jan- 
uu  ly  to  March,  and  though  another  attempt 
t»i  procure  an  indictment  was  made  before 
tiie  Grand  .Tury -which  was  in  serssion  during 
the  following  throe  months,  both  bodies  re- 
fuse d  to  bring  in  a  true  bill  against  Messrs. 
Wki.ls,  As'DEli.sox,.  and  their  associates. 
Tiie  j.rosHcution  now  pending  against  the 
Itetnrning  Board  was  opened  by  an 
information  filed  by  tho  District  Attor- 
ney after  the  adjournment  of  the  Grand 
JiuTV.  That  information  charges  the 
Bfrard  witli  '•  publishing  as  ta'ue  a  certain 
altered,  false,  forged,  and  counterfeited 
public  record,"  viz.,  tlie  Supervisors'  re- 
l^urns  of  election  from  Vernon  Pariah,  But  it 
happens  that  the  tabidated  statement  of  the 
Superv^isors  is,  in  no  ^ense,  a  public  record 
at  aU>  that  the  returns  of  the  Commission- 
ers of  Elections  are  the  only  ones  to  -which 
the  law  obliges  the  Returning  Board  to  pay 
any  heed ;  that  the  Board  had  ample  pow- 
ers to  reject  any  returns  which  they  be- 
lieved to  be  vitiated  by  violence  or  fraud, 
and  that  the  returns  of  Vernon  Parish, 
wliether  coimted  according  to  the  Super- 
visoi"8'  summary  or  otherwise,  -wotdd  not 
have  changed  the  result  of  the  election 
in  the  State.  On  the  motives  -which  led  to 
tJLlis  farcical  and  malicious  prosecution,  com- 
toeut  is  unnecessary, 

Theliossian  advance  soath  of'  the  Bal- 
kans has  e-ridently  received  a  serioua  check, 
And  .^n   their  nnsoocesaful  eSoria   oi^   the 


other  side!  of  the  mountains  to  capture 
Ple-vna— -a  fortified  town  to  the  south  of 
Nikopolis--they  have  suffered  severe  losses. 
In  Englatid,  this  temporary  f:»lure  of  Rus- 
sian strategy  has  been  magnified  into  a 
ci-ushingidefeat  along  the  whole  line,  and 
our  correispondent  reports  that  the  Czar  is 
believed  I  to  be  anxious  to  conclude  peace, 
the  term4  of  which  are  given  in  detail.  It 
is  safe  toj  assume  that  Russian  defeats  can 
only  incrbase  the  determination  of  tho  Em- 
pire to  dictate  its  own  terms  where  they  will 
have  some  chance  of  being  listened  t(j).  That 
■will  certainly  not  be  short  of  Adrianojile,  and 
it  will  ne^d  a  more  tlu-eatening  attitude  on 
the  part  i>f  England  and  Austria  than  they 
have  yet  fehown  to  induce  the  Muscovite  in- 
vader to  stop  short  of  Constantinople  itself. 
That  the  I  Turks  fight  well,  now  that  tliey 
have  at  list  turned  to  face  the  enemy,  will 
not  l>e,ccmsidered  surprising  by  any  atten- 
tive reader  of  these  columns.  That  their 
ultimate  defeat  is  merely  a  question  of  time 
can  hardly  be  doubted  by  any  one  who  has 
gained  the  most  superficial  acquaintance 
-ft'ith  the  resources  of  the  two  combatants. 


Perhapb  the  most  suggestive  itenl  ,bf  our 
special  dispatches  by  cable  is  the  announce- 
ment of  lihe  formation  of  an  International 
Catholic  League  with'  an  organization  which 
looks  -wonderfully  iierfeet  on  pap^r,  and 
with  aims  -which  are  calculatcil  to  giye  Eu- 
ropean Liberals  a  very  bad  fit  of  wliat  wo 
may  be  [permitted  to  eatl  Pap.iphobia. 
There  are  numerous  good  people  iin  this 
country  who  will  reg.ird  the  League  land  its 
objects  as  portentous  signs  of  the  aggressive 
policy  n^w  in  favor  at  the  Vatican,  aii'l 
there  aro  foolish  persons  who  will  fiml  iu 
them  fre^h arguments  forstre'ngthening  cer- 
tain ridiculous  orders  of  '"  Knights."  '"  Broth- 
erhoods," and  so  forth,  which  are  supf^osed  to 
constitute  effective  bulwarks  of  the  I'rot- 
estant  fa^th.  It  m.iy  profitably  be  borne  in 
mind  thai  the  most  etieotivc  agency  against 
the  spreatl  of  Roman  Catholicism  is  modern 
enlighteniment,  and  that  the  most  in 
method  of  narrowing  the  territory 
which  the  Church  can  make  new  coiiquests 
is  to  dinainish  tho  area  of  popiUar  igno- 
rance. To  try  to  circumvent  Rome  by 
parod3*in^  the  organization  of  tlie  half-re- 
ligious, lialf-railitary  ordei"s  of  the  Middle 
Ages  is  about  as  childish  as  this  lajtest  at- 
tempt of  Rome  itself  to  silence  her  assail- 
ants by  ^  vast  system  of  espionagi;  and  a 
frequent  resort  to  libel  suits.

THE  OH II)  I'LATFOUM. 

The  performance  at  Cleveland  does  not 
fulfill  the  promise.  S\\'  were  to  have  ;|,  whole- 
souled  iujdorseraent  of  the  Administration, 
and  we  have  in.stea'i  an  expression  I  of  ap- 
proval so  guarded  and  general  us  to  indicate 
the  dissension  wliieh,  as  regards  thei^oiitii- 
ern  policy,  exists  within  the  party. 
Tlie  declaration  that  tho  party  in  the 
State  "c|)rdially  approve  and  support "  thi- 
President's  "'  efforts  for  the  pacification  of 
the  countty  "  i.s,  perhap.s,  the  best  compro- 
mise possible  in  the  eireumstauco".  i  But  it 
is  a-  compromise,  and  a  somewhat  [evasive 
compromise  into  the  bargain,  H"ith  w"}iatcver 
gain  attaches  to  it  on  the  side  <^*  tlho  -Vd- 
ministi"ation.  As  the  convention  , was  evi- 
dently organized  ort  the  basis  of  n!ci)OcUeney. 
5S"o  take',  it  for  granted,  that  to  repress 
the  elements  of  diseonteut  thi  iru 
nounced  friends  of  tho  Presi'ii'iit  were 
constrained  to  hold  iu  check  thifir  own 
convictions.  It  was  necessary  to  | muzzle 
the  implaeables,  and  the  moderate's  w-en- 
required,  in  turn,  to  abate  the  Warmth  nf 
their  derotion.  The  spectacle  is  not  a 
pleasant  one,  considered  from  a  lof iiy  point 
of  view,  but,  manifestly,  there  was  no  es- 
cape froiii  it.  Trimming  was  inevitable  as 
the  price  of  peace.  .-Vn'i  the  result  is  simply 
this :  The  Ohio  Republicans  accept  tho  Pres- 
ident's Southern  action  as  an  accomplished 
fact.  They  wisely  refuse  to  quarrel  about 
the  nature  of  the  action  or  its  consequences, 
and,  admitting  the  purity  of  the  I'residenfs 
motives,  they  practically  dismiss  the  whoh- 
subject  as  no  longer  deserring  of  |  contro- 
versy. The  subsequent  resolution,  assert- 
ing a  ])urpose  to  "'maintain  and  en- 
force" ^he  policy  involved  in  tho  con- 
stitutional amendments,  must  go  for 
what  it  is  wortli.  If  -it-  mitigate 
the  disappointment  of  those  who  were  ready 
to  wage  war  aga;iiist  the  President,  well. 
No  harm  is  done.  The  Southern  problem  is 
solved  aid  the  party  in  Ohio  acquiesce  in 
the  solution.     There  the  matter  eiul.s. 

On  thel  financial  question  the  utterance  of 
the  eonvtotion  is  not  much  more  satisfac- 
tory than  that  of  the  Democracy,  I'erhaps 
we  shouli  be  thankful  that  it  is  not  worse. 
Had  Mr.  Stanley  Mattfiews  can-ied  his 
point,  the  i  party  would  have  outrun  the 
Democrats*  in  tho  race  of  financial 
folly.  As  tho  case  stands,  the  Ohio  Bepubli- 
cans  commit  themselves  to  the  remonetiza- 
tion  of  silver  and  to  making  it  ah  unlimited 
legal  tender  wherever  gold  is  not  specifically 
providedjf  or.  The  proposition  so  to  regulate 
it  that  itgj  value  shaU  bo  kept  equal  with  that 
of  goldj  is  an  absurdity,  whiqh  may 
bo  set  aside  as  unworthyjof  attention.  Xo 
legislatioix  can  bring  about  the  result  which 
is  put  forth  as  desirable.  What  dqcs  con- 
cern us  is  the  fact  that  financial  deraagogism 
has  borne  its  fruit,  and  that  a  Republican 
convention  afiirms  a  policy  under  which  the 
interest  4n'i  principal  of  the  funded  loan 
-would  be  payable  in  a  depreciated  coin- 
age. The  declaration  should  not  sur- 
prise lis.  The  tone  of  the  local 
press,  the  injudicious  trifling  with  gi-eat 
principled  -which  may  be  justly  chafged 
against  persons  high  in  authority,  the  mis- 
chievousl  meddling  of  Mr.  Mathews — the 
evil  genius  of  tho  party  iu  ©tSbiSs  well  as  of 
the  Federal  Administration — and  the  de- 
moralization which  in  matters  of  I  finance 
prevails  more  or  less  throughout  tho 
West,  all  servo  to  make  this  reso- 
lution a  thing  of  course.  It  is  hu- 
miliating that  a  party  -whose  f  nancial 
record  "W  is  down  to  a  recent  date  eminent- 
ly honor£.ble,-should  lend  itself  to  tlie  silver 
scheme  and  its  attendant  evils.  If  there  is 
to  be  panial  repudiation,  wtich  the  legaliza- 
tion of  liilver  as  a  tender  for  the  pay- 
ment of  all  dehts  clearly  implies,  it  would 
be  better  to  leave  to  the  Democracy  a 
monopobr  of  the  disgrace.  At  any 
rate  "we  look  to  the  National  Administration 
to  give  no  encouragement  to  a  policy 
fraught  vrith  danger  to  the  credit  iihd  the 
business  of  the  country.  The  TlreasuTy 
should  he  regulated  ty  fixed  and  soimd 
ideas  of  iSuty.^not  by  the  impracticable  and 
misohievpus  theories  of  an  Ohio  Contention. 

As  regiirds  the  Teias-Pacifio  the  wiles  of 
Mr.  Mathews  seem  to  have  been: nopera- 
tive.     The    conveutioa  condemoB  in.  em-

ColjSCOTT.j 

The  resolution  referring  to  the  strikes 
alid  the  policy  to  be  adopted  by  the  Govern- 
ment toward  the  railroads  deserves  thought- 
ful consideration.  As  an  expression  ef 
sympathy  ivith  suffering  labor,  it  stands  in 
marked  contrast  to  the  cheap  demagogism 
of  the  I  Democratic  platform.  As  an  indica- 
tion or  the  direction  in  vyhich  public  atten- 
tion has  been  turned  by  th«  events  of 
the  lalst  fortnight,  it  is  very  suggestive. 
Sotne  of  the  objects  pointed  out  may  be 
imattamabie,  but  the  necessity  of  revising 
the  raijroad  question,  and  readjusting  the 
relatiojis  of  companies  to  the  Government 
and  the  public  is  too  apparent  to  be  much 
longer'  disregarded.  The  Ohio  Republi- 
cans, with  till  their  faults,  are  entitled  to 
credit  for  the  breadth  and  courage  of  their 
opinions  u^on  this  subject.

THE  GOVERNMENT  AND  THE  PACIFIC 
I  RAILWAYS. 

During  the  dispute  over  the  Presidency  in 
the  last  session  of  Congress  a  bill  to  provide 
for  the  pai"ment  of  tho  indebtedness  of  the 
soveral  Pac  ifie  Railways  to  the  Government 
somewhat  lost  sight  of  by  the  public, 
was  finally  dropped  for  want  of  time. 
The  subject  was  first  brought  forward  by 
the]  Union  Pacific  Railroad  Comijany  in  a 
letter  from  Sidney  Dillon,  its  President, 
to  tjhol  Secretai-y  of  the  Treasury,  dated 
Feb.  9L  IS  75.  The  following  table  shows 
the  indebtedness  of  the  several  eom- 
pauicsi  to  the  Government  as  returned  in 
the  p'ablic  Idebt  statemont  'for  July  and  as 
it  wiUl  be  at  the  maturity  of  the  suljsidy 
bonds,  twenty  years  hence,  slippo.siug  that 
in  the  meantime  they  repay  one-quarter  of 
the  accjming  interest  in  the  way  of  Govern- 
ment tl'aiis  lorfation :

Since  it  has  been  judicially  determined 
that  tliis  indabtedness  is  not  due  until  the 
matlirity  of  the  subsidy  bonds,  interest  can- 
not be  c-jiaputed  niton  the  amounts  paid 
by  the  T  "e.isury.  The  annual  interest 
upon  the  amount  o.ved  by  th?  Unioii 
I'aeilici  is  :?l,lj;}  I,  I'.tO,  and  upo;i  that 
oweil  by  tho  Central  Pacific  and  Western 
P.ieificL  (till?  tw"o  having  been  amalgamated, ) 
.$1,<'>71,31H.  Any  annual  payments  by 
tlies:>  corajtanies  less  than  the  foregoing 
sums  will  leave  the  pri'seut  iudebtedness  a 
constantly  increasing  q-.iantity,  e.vcept  so 
r.ir  as  it  may  be  re'luoel  by  compjuiiding 
the  interest  on  such  payments  semi-annual- 
ly. Statements  have  been  put  forth  from 
lime  to  time  implying  that  the  sum  due  to 
the  Government  in  1S97  will  be  bet.yeen 
three  and  four  liundred  millions  of  dollars. 
such  statements  boing  intended  to  cr-ate  a 
lielief  in  the  public  mind  that  any  kind  of 
a  settlement  with  the  railroads  now  would 
be  better  than  waiting  till  the  loan  com"s 
due.  What  the  agt,'regato  iii.lel>tedness 
would  be  if  the  law  were  different — that  is, 
if  it  werel  such  that  compound  interest 
eould  be  claimed  by  the  Gj-vernra-ut— is 
nothing  to  the  puriw>.->e.  We  arc<  only  eon- 
eeriied  with  the  law  as  it  is.  It  prjvides 
merely  for  the  reimbursement  of  moneys 
av'tually  paid  out  of  the  public  Trcas;iry. 
It  was la  hard  bargain,  but  it  is  n,  b-.irgain, 
and  while  the  railway  comp'auios  insist  that, 
the  Gijveminent  shall  stand  up  to  it,  it  is 
for'  tho  Government  to  insist  that  they 
stand  up  toi  it  also,  and  fortunately  the  two 
principal  cbmpauies  are  quite  able  to  do  so. 
The  letter  of  Sidney  Dillon,  President  of 
the  Unioil  Pacific  Railroad  Company,  to 
.Secretary  Bristow  broug'nt  this  important 
subject  to  the  attention  of  Congress  about 
two  years  ago.  In  this  letter  Mr.  Dillon 
reminds  the  Secretary  that  there  is  a  large 
debt  aecumulating  against  his  company  in 
favor  Of  the  Government,  and  that  if  tho 
coihpany  allows  it  to  accumulate  till  matu- 
rity, it  [the  company]  '"  will  probably  be 
utterly  unable  to  pay  it,''  and  furthermore, 
tluit  the  ti  overnmeut  "  will  be  uuable  to 
coljlect  it,  t.xeept  upon  the  assumption  that 
it  will!  advance  the  money  to  discharge 
;;;"iO)"  uiortijtiijes  and  run  the  road  on  Govern- 
ment ilccoiint^ — a  policy  w'nich  wise  states- 
mansl^ip  eould  uot  advise."  There  being 
only  o|ne  mortgage  ahead  of  the  Govern- 
ment's mortgage,  the  usq  of  the  plural  noun 
to  conyey  iMr.  Dillon's  idea  is  not  appro- 
priatei  Nd>r  is  he  justified  in  dropping  so 
suddenly  the  character  of  railway  Presi- 
dent ^nd  I  taking  up  that  of  statesman, 
to :  assure  the  Government  that  it 
would!  be  !  unwise  for  the  latter  to  pay 
off  tho  fh"st}  mortgage  and  operate  the  road 
as ',  Government  i)roperty.  Wliat  it  will  bo 
wise  for  thb  Government  to  do  twenty  years 
hence  will  depend  upon  many  things  to 
happen  meanwhile,  and  especially  upon  the 
then  condition  of  the  civil  ser\iee.  The 
best  managed  railways  in  Europe,  and  tho.se 
giving  the  highest  satisfaction  to  the  public, 
ar^  the  Government  railways  of  Belgium 
and  Gfermany.  At  present,  wo  grant,  it 
would  not  i  be  wise  for  the  Government  to 
undertake  tin  extensive  job  of  railway  man- 
agement. '  But  the  necessity  of  doing  so 
twenty  years  hence,  even  in  the  case  pro- 
pounded by  citizen  Dillon,  is  not  apparent. 
It  can  lease  the  property  at  a  fixed  rental, 
or  it  can  sell  tho  whole  to  a  new  company. 
The  plain  duty  of  the  Government  twenty 
years  hence  will  be  to  pursue  ^its  property 
wherever  found,  and  get  as  much  out  of  it 
as  possible. 

The  motive  which  impelled  President 
Dillon  to!  bring  up  the  subject  was  evi- 
dently thisL  and  here  is  the  key  to  the  whole 
matter,  The  stockholders  of  the  Pacific 
Bailwiys  hold  a  terminable  annuity  having 
twenty  years  to  run,  the  amount  of  the  an- 
nuity depending  upon  the  earning  capacity 
of  the  roads,  but  limited  iu  any  case  to  10 
per  cpnt.!"on  the  cost  of  the  roads." 
What  the  cost  was  has  never  been  judicially 
determined,  but  is  liable  to  be.  They  would 
naturally  like  to  convert  this  terminable  an- 
intol  a  permanent  holding,  Provided

A  TEMPEST  IN  A  TEA-POT. 

Looking  oyer  the  field,  just  as  the  riotous 
scenes, of  lalst  week  were  closuig,  TiiF. 
TisiES  haci  o<t(  asion  to  note  one  or  two  in- 
stances of  .ml  ecile  management  in  the  dis- 
ordered d|!;tri(!ts.  The  military,  in  some 
cases,  prohed  a  broken  reed.  In  other  in- 
stances, tH(  1  m- micipal  authorities  seemed  to 
come  lamentably  short  of  the  requirements 
of  the  occp  .sib  I.  Mayors,  Aldermen,  Sher- 
iffs, and  other  eivie  dignitaries  were  not  cer- 
tain whether. they  were  dealing  with  rebels 
or  voters.  Tli  f  Mayor  of  Cincinnati  and  the 
Mayor  of  I!u|iiilo  .seemed  to  us  shining  ex- 
amples of  {municipal  weakness.  There  was 
something!  gjotesijue  iu  the  spectacle  of 
the  fuuetiiiiary  of  I  Cincinnati  raoimting  an 
ash-b.arre!  ,  or  other  convenient  eminence, 
and  arguini;  ivith  the  mob,  trying  to  con- 
vince theii  that  arson  was  not  on  tlie  whole 
profitable  inclben^fieeut.  And,  if  the  cir- 
cumstances lild  been  less  tragic,  it  wo"ald 
have  beei  I  coinie  ito  read  the  proclamation 
of  the  Mayoi  )f  Buffalo,  issued  while  the 
riot  was  it  its  lieight.  That  official,  an- 
nouncing 1  j lat  "  peace  and  good  order  were 
nut  maiiitiiiltd  and  observed  by  a  large 
number  oE  jursons  as  the  laws  require," 
asked  that !  th(  I  cipzcns  come,  together  "to

terest  of  ipootl  government  everywhere,  has 
had  the  cflect  >f  rousing  the  iudignation  of 
a  majority  off  ;he  Buffalo  Coumion  Couucil. 
That  body  has  passed  a  series  of  rieketty 
resolution^  td  the  effect  that  Mayor  Becker 


and  a  scholar,  whom  it  is  a 


privilege  to!  know,  and  W"hose  wisdom, 
courage,  forethought,  prudence,  firmness. 
and  other  virtues,  were  a  bulwark  flung 
around  thE  City  of  Buffalo  during  the  late 
crisis;  and;itit;as  further  resolved  that  "the 
unfavorab  ij  criticism  of  the  conduct  of 
the  Mayor  of  Buffalo,  duiiug  the  riot,  by  a 
Xew-York  newspaper,  is  not  only  imworthy 
the  high  Clara cteri  and  influence  it  has  at- 
tained, bu-f  'fvas  entirely  uncalled  for  and 
undesorveti,''  with  more  to  the  same  dis- 
jointed effejct  .  And,  by  way  of  clincher,  it 
was  furthdr  r ? solved  that  tho  "  aspersions" 
of  The  TiBIES  '  were  -written  or  inspired  by 
some  resitterf  of  Buffalo  whose  personal 
animosity jtoyrird  the  Mayor  induced  him  to 
resort  to  tliis  most  remarkable  method  of 
revenging  an  imaginary  grievance."  This 
truly  admirat^le  series  of  resolutions  "was 
adopted  by  a  large  vote.  Let  us  hope  that 
the  Maj-oji  iiiels  better.  The  Mayor  of 
Cincinnati  is  yet  to  be  heard  from. 

Evidently  the  good  Mayor  of  Buffalo 
fancies  hjijuself  a  very  c'onsiderable  person. 
He  believ|es  that  I  a  metropolitan  journal, 
which  mujst  gi'asp  over  night  the  salient, 
features  c^  iujiportant.  news,  and  promptly 
make  its  Aojhraents  thereon,  eouM  stop4o 


able  events  of  the  past  two  weeks  amply 
testify.  And,  as  if  to  emphasize  the  bitter 
lesson,  the  Buffalo  Major  hishes  into  the 
sanctuary  ofthe  Common  Council,  and,  lay- 
ing hold  of  the  horns  of  the  altar,  cries, ' '  Save 
me  from  criticism !"  To  us  he  is  only  an  inci- 
dent in  the  melancholy  review  of  the  field. 
To  the  Common  Conncilmen  he  is  firm,  noble, 
-wise,  prudeijt,  courageous,  thoughtful,  vig- 
orous, and  much  else  besides.  And  when 
this  tempest  in  a  teapot  shall  abate,  and 
Buffalo  shall  subside  to  its  normal  calm, 
may  it  not  be  said  that  we  have  inad- 
vertently done  the  Mayor  a  good  turn  ?  He 
has  his  vote  of  confidence.  We  have  had  a 
fresh  illustration  of  the  small  amount  of 
-wisdom  and  dignity  with  which  a  city  may 
be  governed.

CHEAP  SUMMER  MESORTS. 

The  great  consideration  this  year  for 
pleasure-seekers  is  economy.  To  find 
places  iu  the  mountains  or  by  the  sea  which 
are  cheap  and  passably  comfortable  is 
the  problem.  The  American  Summer  trav- 
eler is  so  much  in  the  habit  of  making  it  an 
essential  point  of  his  plea.sure  to  spend 
money  freely,  or  at  all  events  not  to  have 
to  look  closely  after  prices,  that  it  will  be  a 
new  experience  for  htm  to  economize.  But 
it  is  evident  that  for  this  year  at 
least  he  has  ina<le  up  his  mind  to 
learn  the  diflicult  lesson.  It  is  a  great 
mistake  to  suppose  that  nice  economical 
places  for  Summer  resorts  cannot  be  found 
in  this  country  as  well  as  in  any  other.  Cf 
course,  whoever  chooses  them  must  ex- 
IJect  no  great  variety  of  dishes  or 
eft'oit  at  "  style.''  He  must  be  con- 
tented to  get  an  appro-ximation  to  what 
he  enjoys  at  home.  In  fact,  the  disagreea- 
ble thing  at  most  of  our  hotels  is  the  variety 
of  dishes  and  the  noisy  attempt  to  imitate 
""style."  Where  in  a  small  kitchen  there 
are  numerous  dishes  prepared  (at  least  in 
America  or  England)  nothing  will  be  very 
t;tiod.  What  peoi>le  want  is  one  good  roast 
or  joint,  nicely  cooked,  iiud  fresh-vegetables, 
and  then  what  entrees  the  means  of  the  es- 
tablishment -will  permit.  The  essentials  are 
good  bread  and  meat,  and  fresh,  pure  milk 
and  eggs.  If  guests  secure  these,  they  can 
ilispeuse  with  many  other  things.  They  do 
not  want  pies,  or  iimumerable  cakes,  or 
compounded  dishes.  If  landlords  would 
only  j.'ul  the  money  they  expend  on  these 
dishes  in  the  best  meats,  carved  properly, 
iiiid  fresh  vegeta'ules  and  fruits,  they  would 
do  all  the  public  require. 

What  the  general  community  seek  for  this 
year  is  a  jilace  in  pm-e  air  and  near  interest- 
ing scenery,  with  a  decent  table,  where  the 
prices  are  moderate,  say  from  $7  to  $10 
]ier  week  for  each  person.  There  are  plenty 
(if  these  to  be  found.  In  first  regarding  the 
sea-coast,  our  pleasure-seekers  have  an  un- 
equaled  oj>poptunity  along  the  whole  coast, 
from  Hampton  Koads  to  Mount  Desert. 
There  is  no  spot  where  cheap  houses  can- 
not be  disL'Overed.  The  cream  of  all  sea- 
side resorts  is,  of  course,  Newport.  Noth- 
ing equal  to  it  casts  in  America,  and  indeed 
■,ve  know-  nothing  in  Europe  surpassing  it. 
B'.it  even  here  economical  boarding-houses 
can  be  found,  cottages  with  cheap  rooms, 
or  farm-hou&es  on  the  coasts  near  by.  where 
you  have  all  the  beauty  of  the  marine  scenery 
and  Very  ine.Kpeiisive  board.  Going  north, 
tlie  pleasure-seeker  discovers  most  lovely 
resorts  on  the  coast  of  Massachusetts,  be- 
tween ilarblehead  and  Muneliester.  The 
Beverly  region  surpasses  even  Rhode  Island 
in  its  wtjods  and  mingling  of  forest  and  sea, 
and,  though  studded  with  villas,  it  offers 
many  quiet  farm-houses  and  ciieap  board- 
ing-places. Mount  Desert  and  the  coast  of 
Maine  are  too  well  known  to  need  d^erip- 
tion.  The  gi'and  combination  of  mountain 
and  wild  oc-ean  in  the  former  is  unique. 
Tho  table  is  indeed  poor  at  most  of  the 
farm-houses  in  Mount  Desert,  and  not  al- 
ways low  in  price  ;  still,  economical  places 
can  be  searched  out,  if  not  in  the  vil- 
lage, at  least  in  the  neighboring  region. 
Again,  still  further  north,  the  St.  Lawrence, 
with  its  htiliitans'  cottages,  offers  a  most 
cool  and  picturesque  Summer  resort.  The 
""Murray  Bay"  French  Canadians  will  rent 
their  cottages  and  pro^de  excellently  for  an' 
American  family  at  a  very  low  price.  In  the 
interior  of  om-  own countr}-_we  have  theAHe- 
giiauies,  \vith  wild  and  cheap  places  of  resort ; 
the  hilly  country  of  Massachusetts  and  Con- 
I  nectieut — where  low-priced  board  /can  be 
obtained  amid  very  romantic  scj/nes — and 
the  small  towns  of  the  Upper  Hudson. 

Perhaps  the  easiest  and  cheapest  Sum- 
mer resort  for  our  citizens  is  'in  the  cotuitry 
of  the  Catskills.  behind  the  mountains  and 
iu  the  various  ravines  or/'i"iver-%'alleys.  The 
great  inducement  for  this  resort  is  the  ease 
of  access  and  cheapness  of  traveling  outlay. 
.\gain.  Lake  George  and  Lake  Champlain 
present  many  litt,l'e  hamlets  and  solitary 
houses  on  their  borders,  where  Summer  visi- 
tors could  be  accommodated  at  very 
moderate  expense.  The  most  charm- 
ing resort'  of  all  is  the  Adiron- 
dack cou;itry.  Here  are  plenty  of  farm- 
houses alid  inns  where  board  is  cheap,  and 
a  family  can  enjoy  the  purest  mountain  at- 
mosphere which  this  country  affords  and  a 
mpSt  invigorating  outdoor  life.  A  camping, 
t/ip  is  vei-y  expensive,  but  this  is  not  a  ne- 
/cessity.  The  number  of  economical  places 
amid  the  gi-andest  mountain  scenes  or 
by  woody  lakes,  is  increasing  every  year. 
People  have  only  to  look-about  to  find  them 
out^  All  these  resorts  ought  to  be  made 
known  to  the  traveling  public  by  diligent 
advertising.  As  it  is,  most  pleasure-hunters 
are  forced  to  learn  about  them  by  a  good 
deal  of  hard  experience.  But  the  same  pos- 
sibility exists  here  as  in  Germany  or  Switz- 
erland of  finding  a  Suinmer  resort  at  once 
comfortable  and  cheap,  and  near  pleasant 
or  grand  seener}-. 


AN  APPEAL  FOR  A  GOOD  CA  USE. 

To  tliC  Editor  oj  the  Xew-  I'vrk  Times  : 

WUl  you  kindly  jjermit  the  following  brief 
statement  of  facts  to  be  placed  before  the  pub- 
lic in  the  columns  of  your  valuable  paper  ? 

The  -imespccted  amount  of  work  devolving 
upon  the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty 
to  Children,  and  the  .  necessary  expenses 
attending  it,  have  increased  to  that  extent  that 
a  larger  amount  of  money  than  it  has  at  com- 
mand is  needed  to  enable  it  to  continue  its 
greatly  needed  labor.  The  character  of  the 
society's  operations  is .  now  so  well  understood 
and  appreciated  that  it  seems  to  be  only  neces- 
sary to  mention  the  fact  that  it  needs  aid  to  in- 
duce those  whose  sjTupathies  go  out  toward  the 
helpless,  suffering  little  children  to  furnish  with 
pleasure  the  means  to  carry  on  our  work. 

Complaints  reaching  nearly  100  per  month 
are  now  beine  received  and  attended  to.  Many, 
of  them  are  of  a  serious  and  aggi-avated  charac-.. 
ter,  and  comparatively  few  of  uem  would  have 
been  cared  for  without  the  action  of  the  society. 
During  the  post  two  months  over  100  children 
have  been  resuued  Irum  cruelty  or  awwciatious 


.which  would  have  residted  in  their  becoming 
paupers  or  criminals,  many  others  have  been 
visited  and  influences  brought  to  bear  to  better 
their  condition,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  work 
win  not  be  permitted  to  slacken  for  want  of 
funds.  Subscriptions  or  donations  will  be  grate- 
fully received  and  acknowledged,  and  mav  be  iti- 
closcd  to  either  of  the  undersigned  at  So.  50

Washixgtok,  Aug.  1. — The  diebt  state*, 
ment  for  Jtily  sliows  a  reduction  in  the  public 
debt  of  $S1S.004,  which  is  exclusive  of  $500.- 
000  deducted  for  the  estimated  expenj^s  of  the

made  for  the  Amiv-,  the  amount  which  will  l>6

The  figures  griven  in  the  debt  stat^Mnent.  there-| 
fore,  represent  the  actual  n-ductioti  for  the 
month.  In  consequence  of  the  |  labor 
strike,  receipts  from  '  internal  revenue 
fell  off  at  least  $500,000.  It  is 
prolJahly  this  amount  Trill  be  made  up  by  next

rights  and  fretjdom,  in  view  of  the  laws  adopted 
against  the  Chlirch  and  Pope  ;  the  re-establish- 
ment of  the  tehiporal  power  of  which  the  Pope 
has  been  deprived  by  force  :  the  restoration  of 
the  rights  of  [the  Holy  See  :  the  organization 
and  establishirlent  of  a  (Catholic  press  in  every 
considerable  cjentre,  and  the  supporting  of  a 
"  general  correspondent."  who  shall  receive  his 
instructions  frpm  Rome,  whose  duty  it  shall  be 
to  transmit  thdm  to  the  newspapers  of  his  dis- 
trict. The  calumuies  of  the  opposition  press 
are  to  be  met  by  legal  proceedings. 

The  Pope,  in  a  private  circular,  expresses  the 
hope  that  all  Catholic  as^■ociations  vnW  unite  in 
this  league,  ami  the  nobility  and  clergy  are  or- 
dered to  unite  in  battling  for  the  freedom  and 
the  universal  t<way  of  the  Church.  The  Priests 
and  Bishops  are  urged  to  agree,  all  for  one  and 
one  for  all.  All  the  centres  of  the  home:organ- 
izations  are  to  he  in  telegraphic  communication 
direct  with  tlie  Vatican.  This  new  scheme  is 
causing  extraofrdinary  excitement  on  the  Conti- 
nent, and  may.  in  some  measure,  account  for 
the  increasing  friendlines.s  of  Italy  and  Ger- 
many. Ir  is  aj  curious  fact  that  not  one  London 
journal  has  any  information  on  this  remarkable 
topic,  but  it  isineyertheless  a  fact,  which  I  haye 
on  the  best  authority.  ,

before  G  o'clock  had  gone  into  Committee  on 
the  South  African  Confederation  bill,  to  which

obstruction  by  3It-ssrs.  I'amell,  Biggar  and  O'Dou- 
nell,  occasionally  as-sisted  by  one  or  two 
other  menioers.  The  struggle  ■  lasted 
tliroughout  tho  night,  and  led  to  nu- 
merous scenes  and  incidents.  The  Gov- 
ernment had  detern.ined  not  to  pt-rmit  the 
obstructionists  to  deft-at  the  measure,  and  had 
the  concurrence  and  supp^^'rtof  the  Liberals. 
The  sitting  \^"a.s  prolonged-  by  means  of  relays 
of  members.*  ^lany  left  at  V  o'clock  last  night 
to  return  at  midnight.  Fre-h  relays  came  at  I 
and  7  o'clock.!  and  at  regular  inten'als  after, 
and  the  othcials  and  Police  were  relieved  in  th^* 
same  manner  during  the  night.  The  excite- 
ment was  general  throughout  the  Houso. 

In  the  courso  of  the  night's  discussion  Sir 
Staffonl  Northcote.  Chancellor  of  tho  Ex- 
chequer. dtVIared  tbut  the  Oovernraent  in- 
tended to  -pass  the  bill  if  they  had  to  sit  through 
the  vacation.  I'pon  this,  3lr.  .lohn  O'Connor 
Power,  Liberal  nu-mber  for  Miivo  Couni,y.  who 
had  been  made  aware  of  the  Government  ta*'- 
tics.  charged  the  Ifovernment  with  having  or- 
ganized a  conspiracy  to  crush  out  the  Irisli 
members.  |Immi-d  lately  the  House  whs 
in  a  tumiiU.  Thf  Chairman  demanded 
the  ■^\-ithdrawal  of  ih«  word  '  ••con-

should  have  het*n  taken  at  first..  Sir  'Sydliam 
Vfruon-Harcpurt,  Liia-ral  ruL-niber  for  (Oxford 
City,  .said  thi  reiist)n  that  stronger  action  was 
not  taken  was  not  on  account-  of  the  weukne;^s 
of  the  House,  but  to  show  the  charanter  of  tbt- 
contumaciousnt"^s  to  the  country,  and  givej  th** 
obstructioni.-sts  rope  enouirii.  3Ir.  Gray  cried, 
'•  Hear  I  hi-iir  I"  sne*-»Ho^]y.  Sir  Patrick 
O'Brien,  Liberal  nieri>-"-  lor  Kings  Counly, 
objected  to  |tbis.  iiuu  -ntiniated  that  3Ir. 
Gray  was  a  "humbug"  and  a  "danuietl 
fool,"  which  expression  he  had  to  w-ith- 
d raw  as  unparlianientary.  At  10  o'clock!  thi:> 
morning  3Ir.  Bigirar,  Liberal  member  for  Cavan 
County,  cam*  into  the.  lIou.-^e,  and  took  the  op- 
portunity, oi  a  liiotion  to  report  progress,  to  ^ay 
that  he  had  liad  a  good  sleep-and  a  good  ibreak-

aud  otiiers. '  .Inst  liefore  noou  Sir  Stall'oril 
Northcote.  having  been  advised  by  Kight 
Hon.  Edwa^  KuatchbuU-Hugessen,  Liberal 
member  for  ^andwwdi.  to  take  strong  and  swiit 
action  in  theiinatter.  thanked  his  supporters  for 
the  assistancp  he  hiwl  received,  and  made  a|tinal 
app<^  to  the]  minority  to  j-ield,  and  hoped: that 
in  the  absence  of  the  lionorable  gentleman 
whom  he  e.fpecte^  to  arrive  shortly  the  com- 
mittee would  persevere  with  the  bill.  Mr. 
O'lJonnell  altf^ited  to  regard  this  as  a  tlireat  of 
coercion,  and  said  that  under  the  altered  cir- 
stauces  he  would  retire  from  the  |  conteKt.j  '  As 
long  as  it  was  a  tpiestion  of  physical  endurance 
he  aud  his  friends  were  prepared  to  go  ou.  'This 
ended  the  contest,  during  which  the  Chairman 
of  the  comn^tt<'e  was  relieved  four  times.  There 
were  also  several  reliefs  on  the  Tresisury  benches. 
There  were  altogether  iiti  diWsious. 

At  2:10  Pj  31.  the  hill  w:is  completed  in  com- 
mittee, ami<.(  thunders  of  cheers  several  times 
repeated, ,  'llhe  Mtene  tliroughout  was  aiumated

chancesof  succeeding  Pope  Pius  improve  daily."

tury. There  ne^^er  was  a  hotel  in  the  place,  as 
no  stranger  ever  i  thought  of  stopping  here,  al- 
though it  has  a  [jopmlation  of  over  4,000  inhab- 
itants^  and  carri^a  an.  quite  a  thriving  trado  in 
br^adstuffs  befoiie  tho  war.  At  present  accom- 
modation and  fobjd  L^  still  more  difficult  to  ob- 
tain, but  as  all  the|  specials  carry  their  provi- 
sions with  the^,  and  sleep  either  in  their 
wagons  or  unde^  their  tents,  it  is  possible  to 
exist  hero  for  aiftw  hours.  Originally  there 
was  no  intention] pf  using  this  village,  except  as 
a  point  from  wh^ch  jtp  make  a  feint  on  Sistova, 
while  the  real  |  attack  was  prosecuted  from 
Tumu-Magurelli'-^fr<l>m  its  position  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Oil  i  admirably  calculated  to  serve 
as  a  depot  for  t^idge  materials — upon  Nikopo- 
lis.  Unfortunaljclyrthe  Turks  at  this  fortress 
made  a  very  stubborn  resistance,  and  the  Grand 
Btike  wa.^  in  de.spair  at  the  failure  of  the  enter- 
prise when  a  dispatch  from  below  informed 
him  that  Sistoval'iiad!  been  carried  and  the  ene- 
my driven  out.  In  Ishort,  the  raid,  for  it  was 
nothing  else,  had  been  a  complete  success,  but 
it  necessitated  ^  certain  modification  of  the 
plans.  The  l::;oIhmns  intended  for  the 
original  operatjbnl  were  hurried  down,  and 
crossed  over  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
and  thence  pu.shed  pn  into  the  interior— but  so 
far  the  movement  has  been  a  detached  one.  and 
cannot  become  a  gejneral  advance,  as  the  entire 
bridge  train  stiH  lies  at  TurnuOlagurelli.  and 
in  spite  of  tho  meyer-ceasing  bombardment  of 
Xikopolis,  everv  effort  to  con.stmct  the  bridge 
at  that  point  has  ht  en  rejiul-sed.  This,  I  know.

Utissian  troops  since  their  entry  inu>  Btilgaria. 
Trovisions  and  .stores  of  all  kin<la  have  been  ac-

three  or  four  days'  delay  incident  ujiou

aud  could  be  ilesljroyed  very  easily  if  the  Captain 
of  anyone  of  tie  jmonitors  lying  at  Xikopolis

A.  BOY  JIURXED  TO  DEATH. 
A  house  and  bam  belonging  to  Jlr.  Troska,  at 
Egg  Harbor  City,  N.  J.,  were  burned  to  the  ground 
on  Tuesday  afternoon,  and  a  boy  14  yoar?  old,  whom 
Mr.  Troska  had  permitted  to  go  into  the  bam  to 
sleep,  W&a  burned  to  death.  It  ia  supposed  he  had 
careless  ly  set  fire  to  the  bam  with  a  cigar.  He  was  a 
Btranger  inj  tbe  place,  and  his  naioe  is  not  known. 


by  an  old  Turkish  fort.  Tbe  houses,  as  in  near- 
ly all  Oriental  t^wns,  are  surrounded  by  par- 
<lens  and  fruit  tiiees,  a  score  of  minarets  glitter 
in  the  .'^unlight.j&mLtbe  environs  in  the  rear, 
as  far  as  the  ey<|f  can  reach,  are  covered  with 
rich  verdure,  ofr:?ring  la  verj-  refre-shing  enn- 
tnist  to  the  uakicifl  plains  of  the  opposite  bank 
of  Little  Wallachia.  It  has  a  population  of 
nearly  liO.UOO,  ami  was  of  considerable  im- 
portance as  a  point  of  communication  between 
the  Danube  and  theiinterior  towns  beforo  the 
war.  There  are  fe[w  troops  now  within  its 
limits,  a  immHer .  of  Ilying  columns  having 
bet-n  dispateheti  iuivarious  directions,  but  there 
are  several  largclctiriips  outside,  which  strangers 
are  not  allowed  pa  visit.,  Tho  town  itself  is 
very  calm  aiid  p:^e^iits  no  signs  of  having  been 
taken  by  as.sauUtk  fortnight  ago.  It  is  true  that 
it  was  very  fc»bly  defended.  All  the  shops 
are  open,  and  tji^fe  population  move  about  aud 
j  attend  to  their  tjrdinary  occupations  as  they  did 
before  the  Kus^iin  eagle  had  taken  the  place  of 
the  crescent.  The  majority  of  the  Mussuluians 
i  have  remained, Und,  of  those  who  retired  on 
j  the  first  eutrailce  of  the  Muscovite  troops, 
[  many  have  iretijmed,  upon  hearing  that 
i  so      far      fronii      being        in       danger       of

I  [ ' 
authorities  rather  affect  to  show  to  them  greater 

favor  and  indulReuce  than  to  the  Christian  ele- 
ment, which,  ti>  say  the  truth,  is  not  sympa- 
thetic. All  witp  whom  I  have  conversed  have 
expressed  their  entire  satisfaction  with  thtj 
kiiuluess  recei\ied,i  and  whieh  they  had  been 
taught  not  to  ejtpect.  How  far  this  gratitude — 
ahttle  too  demoistrative  to  be  heartfelt  when 
one  considers  tjl  e  blindness  of  Turkish  fanati- 
cism— is  real,  r<imairis  lo  bo  seen  ;  the  most  one 
can   now    say  )k    that    they    are     thoroughly 

"cowed.  Storiesj  of  atrocities  still  come  iu  from 
the  interior.  A  [Christian  who  had  been  flayed 
alive  and  left  li<i  do  by  the  roadside,  with  his 
hands  and  feetitied  together  with  strips  of  his 
own  skin,  was  louniby  the  troops  a  day  or  two 
ago  at  Carevitsjt  aUd  brought  before  tho  Em- 
peror, in  whoscs  jprelsence  he  died.  According 
to  tho  report — j>enerally  believed — Col.  Welles- 
ley,  the  EngUsh'  military  attach^,  was  .sent  for- 
and  requested  tn  niake  a  report  to  hi.s  Uovern- 
meut  of  this  cpcumstance,  of  which  he  had 
ocular  testimoniy.      Let  us    hope   that  he  did. 

!  The  citizens  of  Sistova^  Mussulman  as  well  as 
ChrLstian,  concur  in  tho  belief  that  tho  Turkish 
officers  are  utiaole  to  keep  in  baud  the  wretches 
who  compose  the  contingeuts  of  Tscherkesses 
and  volunteerii — the  new  official  name  for 
Ba.shi-Bazouks.1  It  is  difficult  to  arrive  at  a  cor- 
rect estimate  q£  the  Russian  losses  since  thp 
opening  of  tiie  i  campaign.  They  admit 
that  betweenj  tho  27th  of  June  and 
the  4th  of  Julp  ltuero|were  750  killed  and 
2,100  woundec,  this,  however.  I  believe  to 
be  considerably  under  the  mark,  and  as,  since 
then,  there  hasj  jeen  much  although  desultory 
fighting,  double  thjose  figures  will  not  exceed  tho 
truth.  But  hetj,  is  in  everj-thing,  the  greatest 
secrecy  is  obseived.  Still,  the  very  frequent 
trains  of  wound  sdtmen  arriving  at  all  hours  of 
the  night,  wheb  indiscreet  observers  are  in  their 
beds,  and  the  m-  l^ss  frequent  troop  trains  of 
fresh  food  for  powder  all  day,  to  the  exclusion 
of  other  trafiicj  coayinc©  one  that  the  gaps  are 
large,  and  thatWeify  effort  is  being  made  to  fill 
them  up  as  raijidly  jaa  possible.  There  are  three 
army  corps  already!  in  Bulgaria — at  least  so  say 
the  Russians— jwith  provisions  and  ammunition 
for  a  two  nionths'icampaign,  and  two  others  are 
being  conceutryte4j  Troops  are  passing  through 
at  the  rate  of  1)0,000  per  diem  by  rail,  in  order 
to  bring  up  to  its  fill  complement  the  army  of 
200,000  whiAh  -Ss  destined  to  operate  on  this 
line.  Perhaps  when  they  all  get  over  we  shall 
see  something;  [worthy 'of  the  assumed  great 
strategic  taleuit;  of,  the!  Russian  Staff  Btireau. 
As  yet  nothing  ha^beenldone  demonstr&tingthe 
slightest  capamy  ^  the  selection  of  Nikopolis  as 
a  point  of  croat  ing  was .  a  military  blunder.  I 
mean  to  go  3  ppbsite  that  fortress  in  a  day  or 
two,  and  will  d  rsctibe  the  position  as  fully  as 
possible;  and  ths  only  bridge  constructed  on 
scientific  prinqipU  a  frohi  Ibraila  is  practically 
useless,  becausf  it  opens  upon  a  morass  six  miles 
ilk  extent,  thro  i  at  iwhinb  tha  Ruswiiui  enfii&eers 


are  hard  at  work  in  the  constmction  of  a  cans&- 
way  for  the  passage  of  their  artillery  and  equi- 
page train.  AU  the  successes  won,  up  to  date, 
have  been  due  to  the  brilliant  dash  of  tbe  Rus- 
sian troops  and  the  apathy  or  want  of  courage 
of  the  Turkish  Generals— for  I  cannot  admit 
cowardice  on  the  part  of  the  men.  Perhaps 
Abdul  Kerim  has  worked  out  a  plan,  by  some 
abstnise  mathematical  calculation,  for  this  alone 
can  account  for  the  capture  of  Timova.  which 
at  last  has  been  occupied  by  the  Russians.  It 
was  garrisoned  by  a  force  of  4,000  Turkish 
troops  of  all  arms,  and  is  in  itself  a  strong  po- 
sition, built  in  an  amphitheatre  on  a  spur  of  the 
Balkans,  and  commanding  the  main  approaches 
to  the  Valley  of  the  Jantra.  Yet  an  advanced 
guard,  composed  principally  of  cavalry  and 
horse  artillery,  at  the  most  3,000  strong,  stif- 
ficed  to  gaiii  possession-^some  accounts  say 
after  a  very  stubborn  resistance,  others  without 
firing  a  shot,  the  Osmanli  falling  back  to  Ras- 
grad.  In  itself,  Timova  has  only  a  secondary 
strategical  importance,  but  its  occupation  will 
produce  an  immense  moral  effect  upon  the 
populations,  as  it  will  be  doubtless  the  adminis- 
trative centre  of  Bulgaria,  this  ancient  capi- 
tal of  the  Bulgarian  Czars  being  better  situated 
that  Kustchti  to  become  the  seat  of  ihe  Pro- 
vincial Government.  I  learn  that  the  first  plans 
of  a  railway  between  Sistova  and  Timova  hav- 
ing already  received  the  approval  of  the  Em- 
peror Alexander,  their  execution  will  imme- 
diately be  taken  in  hand. 

.  Biela,  too,  has  fallen ;  the  Russians  were  re- 
pulsed twice  with  heavy  losses  at  this  little 
town,  but  on  their  third  visit  they  found  that 
the  enemy  had  retired.  The  capital  importance 
of  this  position  is  so  evident  that  the  Serker 
Edrim's  intentions  become  more  and  more  in- 
comprehensible every  day.  The  town  com- 
mands the  roads  leading  to  Tirnova  and  Plev- 
na, and  standing,  as  it  does,  on  the  Jantra, 
which  is  here  crossed  by  a  stone  bridge,  de- 
fended by  a  tetedepont  on  the  left,  and  a  series 
of  earthworks  on  the  right  bank,  it  niisrht  have 
been  a  thorn  in  the  side  of  the  Russians  for 
some  time  to  come  under  any  one  but  a  fool. 
The  enemy  had  its  first  serious  repulse  here  last 
week ;  according  to  the  Turkish  statements  they 
hadr]2  battalions  engaged  against  18  ;  the  Rus- 
sian accounts  give  the  numbers  respectivelv  at 
12.000  against  30,000  ;  both  are  probably 
grossly  exaggerated. 

ThoCzarewitch  is  to  have  command  of  the 
army  which  is  to  attack  and  capture  Rustchuk, 
an  operation  somewhat  delicate  just  now,  as 
that  place  completely  commands  all  the  left  bank, 
and.  although  apparently  very  much  dilapidated 
as  a  town,  is  still  formidable  as  a  fortress,  with 
l.OOO  yards  of  river  in  front  by  way  of  ditch. 
The  railway  station  of  the  Varna  line  has  been 
placed  within  tho  enrieute  since  the  com- 
uiencenieiit  of  the  bombardment,  so  that 
until  this  line  be  cut  by  a  move- 
ment on  the  Dobrudscha  side  it  will  be 
iu  uninlerrupte<l  communication  with  Varna 
find  the  other  positions  of  the  Turkish  quadri- 
lateral. In  addition  to  the  old-fashioned  arma- 
ment of  the  citadel.  6r)  he,iv5'  guns  have  been 
brought  up  from  the  capital  ;  and  the  most  im- 
portant work,  on  the  easteru  front,  the  Levant 
Tabia.  mounts  17  15-inch  pieces.  The  garrison 
has  been  rai.sed  from.  b.OOO  to  14,000,  and.  as 
1  have  already  \vritten.  it  is  amply  provisioned 
for  a  long  siege.  Its  weak  points  are  along  the 
southern  front,  and  if  the  works  there  be  taken, 
the  place  must  .speedily  capitulate,  but  t<i  get  at 
these  the  entire  Turkish  Army  must  be  beaten, 
and  should  Abdul  Kerim  not  (find  out  by  force 
of  studv  some  new  plan — he  has  plans  on  the 
brain,  like  that  other  idiot.  Gen.  Tntehu,  at 
Paris  in  1x70— this  will  cost  very  dearly.  Ac- 
cording to  present  appearances  the  Russians 
are  pursuing  an  entirely  different  .style  of  tac- 
tics. The  Turks  concentrate,  either  with  or 
without  a  jmrpose — on  this  poiut,  no  htinuin 
being,  inehuling  the  Commander-iu-t'hief.  can 
si)eak  ktiowiugly — their  enemy  splits  up  his 
forces  eccentrically.  One  column  ha-s  marched 
in  the  direction  of  Rustchuk  by  Monastiristi  : 
the  second,  already  arrived  at  its  tirst  halting 
place,  Tirnova.  evidently  intends  to  force  the 
passage  of  the  Balkans  by  Kazanlik  ;  the  third. 
via  Plevna  aud  Etmpoh  p'roliably  v,-ili  attack  thi- 
Balkun  line  toward  the  left.  Certainly  the 
tirst  gr(--at  objective  point  is  the  fortress 
of  Kustchuk.  and  I  have  pointed  out  the 
difficulties  lying  in  the  way  of  this  operati;>n, 
which.  U>  have  been  certaiuly  sucessful,  would 
have  reijuired  the  presence  of  iCimmenmtuu's 
corps.  Hut  although  its  advance  was  announced 
some  days  ago,  we  uow  learn — not  officially,  of 
course— that  it  is  nut  in  suflicient  force  to  pass 
the  railway  between  Kustentlji  ar:d  Tcherna- 
votla,  and  that  it  is  needed  in  the  Dobrudscha  to 
protect  the  Christians  atrainst  Turkish  repri>als. 
It  was  to  have  been  brou;;ht  up  tn  the  strcngtii 
of  lOO.OOO  men.  but  the  beautiful  seledion  of 
a  marsh,  through  wli:<'l:  the  men  wadfd  up  to 
tlieir  waists  in  mud  when  they  carried  unde- 
fended ilatchin.  as  the  terminus  uf  their  bridge, 
and  the  consequent  necessity  of  a  causeway. 
has  delayed  the  arrival  of  rvinforo*-uu*nts. 
I'rom  conversations  with  a  Turkish  stall  oHi-.-er. 
who  is  now  on  parole  in  Koumaijia,  1  am  led  to 
believe  that  his  people  are  perfectly  well  posted 
as  to  tbe  movements  i>n  the  other  side.  Ac- 
conliua:  to  his  statement*  tlu-re  was  never  any 
intention  of  defending  the  line  of  the  Danube, 
except  so  far  as  was  necessary  to  get  a  tliorough 
knowledge  of  the  enemy's  strategic  intf-ntions, 
and  all  the  f>eliy  en:nigements  fought  have 
>M.-en  with  a  view  to  obiiirt-  him  to  develop  his 
forces.  Even  the  battle  within  the  quadri- 
lateral will  be  merely  a  secondar>-  op- 
eratiim.  for  a  Russian  ^•icto^y  must  be 
dearly  bought,  aud  will  necessitate  great 
delay,  wllile  it  cannot  be  deciMve.  as 
the  Turkish  line  of  retreat  will  reniaio  uninter- 
rupted. Mv  informant  avers  that  there  an?,  or 
will  be.  300,000  men  along  the  Balkans.  These 
tiicures  are  certainly  exagtrerated  :  but  if  there 
arn  only  half  that  number  thL*ro.  and  the  push- 
in;;  forward  of  the  troops  about  Sophia  and  even 
of  thf  roq>s  which  have  been  fighting  in  3Ion- 
t'_'iu^gro  warrants  the  supi>osition.  the  forcing  of 
this  line  of  defense  will  be  very  dillicult.  as 
there  canntjt  l)e  now  west  of  Rustchuk  over 
ir>0,000  Russian  troops  of  all  arms.  It  is  true 
that  tho  re.serves  are  pouring  in,  and  trains 
leave  Bucharest  every  hour,  but  the  policy  of 
divergent  columns  is  a  dangerous  one  against 
an  ei\emy  who  always  fights  in  masses,  like  the 
Tr.rks.  The  Russian  officers  and  men  are  en- 
thusiastic of  success.  They  are  infinitely  less 
well-informed  of  the  situation  than  the  readers 
of  the  daily  papers  in  London  or  Paris.  But  the 
Emperor  is.  I  ant  assured,  m)t  nearly  so  san 
guiue.  Always  extremely  nervo^is.  his  escita 
bility  at  present  is  at  its  climax;  he  cannot 
sleep,  can  scarcely  tiike  his  meals  without  start- 
ing uu  from  table  to  consult  a  map  or  tp  hurry  off  I 
an  aide-de-camp  to  some  column  in  whose  move- 
ment he  fancies  there  has  been  an  unwarrant- 
able dehiy.  and.  in  short,  by  his  irritability,  has 
succeeded  in  rendering  the  lives  of  his  staff 
officers  a  burden  to  them.  Nothing  goes  on  as 
it  should  do.  ho  says,  and  all,  that  I  have  seen 
and  heard  confirms  me  iu  the  opinion  that  he  is 
not  far  wrong. 

P.  S. — The  obstacles  placed  in  the  way  of  cor- 
respondents increase  every  day  ;  there  is  no 
field  telegraph  at  their  di.sposai.  Everything 
must  be  forwarded  by  special  mes.sengtT  to 
Bucharest — even  letters  are  not  sure  of  arriving 
at  their  destitution  if  put  in  the  general  letter- 
bag,  supposing  such  an  institution  to  exist. 
wiiich  it  does  not  any  nearer  the  theatre  of  war 
than  Zinnicea — and.  when  there,  are  suppressed 
if  unfavorably  critical  or  supposedly  indiscreet. 
The  coiTespondeut  of  one  of  the  most  important 
London  dailies  has  not  got  off  a  dispatch  for  10 
days,  although  messages  of  similar  teiu>r  have 
l>een  accepted  for  tho  Times,  and  a  sub-special 
of  another,  whosespi.pathiesare  avoweiUv  ultra- 
Slavonic,  was  stopped  and  relieved  of  Kis  dis- 
patches by  the  authorities  on  tbe  railway  be- 
tween Ploiosti  and  Cronstjult,  because  the  wiring 
of  intelligence  from  over  the  Austrian  frontier 
was  interpreted  as  prima  facie  evidence  of  ho.s- 
tility  to  somebody.  Under  the  most  favorable 
auspices  of  a  brassard,  and  a  general  authority 
to  circulate,  no  correspondent,  although  treated 
with  the  utmost  courtesy,  can  go  to  auy  partic- 
ular point  without  a  special  permission  to  that 
effect,  granted  several  hours  and  even  several 
days  after  the  interest  attached  to  that  particu- 
lar point  has  ceased  to  exist.

THE  ELLIS  IMPEACHMENT  TRIAL. 

CONTINUATION  OP  THE  TESTIMONY  OF  MB. 
REID,  BANK  EXAMINEE— THE  ABINGDON- 
EQUAKE  SAVINGS  BANK  CASE  CLOSED — 
MR.  CISCO  AND  THE  THIRD-AVENUE  SAV- 
INGS BANK — OTHER  WITNESSES  ALSO  EX- 
AMINED BT  THE  SENATE. 

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  1.— In  the  Ellis 
trial,  at  the  opening  of  the  Senate  to-day,  Mr. 
R«id,  Bank  Examiner/  continued  His  evidence 
regarding  the  Abingdon-Sqtiare  Savings  Bank : 
I  never  allowed  second  mortgages  as  assets,  but 
noted  them  when  held  as  securities.  On  cross- 
examination,  Mr.  Reid  said:  I  did  not  inquire 
as  to  their  character;  the  lawyer  in  making 
certificate  of  title  to  property  was  critical  in 
examining  new  banks,  but  afterward  not  so 
particular ;  talked  with  the  officers  several 
times  in  July.  1876,  trying  to  get  them  to  put 
the  bank  on  a  safe  footing,  and  only  wrote  the 
department  the  letters  read  yesterday  after  see- 
ing that  they  were  not  acting  as  I  deemed  ne- 
cessary for  saving  the  bank. 

In  reply  to  a  Senator,  3Ir.  Reid  said  that  he 
discovered  the  bogus  check  by  looking  over  the 
bank  book^  ;  that  a  large  deposit  of  the  last  of 
June  was  drawn  out  soon  after,  and  that  July 
1  ho  inquired  and  discovered  the  check  for 
$10,000. 

John  J.  Cisco  sworn,  and  testified  regarding 
the  Third-Avenue  Bank — Was  called  on  by  Mr. 
Ellis  after  the  failure  of  Duncan  &  Sherman,  in 
July,  1875,  who  said  the.  Third-Avenue  Savings 
Bank  was  in  trouble,  and  asked  ad\nce  ;  did  nor 
say  the  extent  or  nature  of  the  trouble  ;  witness 
advised  proceeding  cautiously,  or  it  might  pro- 
duce a  run  on  other  banks*:  Mr.  Ellis  said  he 
had  talked  with  other  Wall-street  men.  Mr. 
Ci.sco  was  asked  what  he  would  have  done  re- 
garding the  bank  in  Mr.  Elli.s'  place,  when  Sen- 
ator Gerard  objected,  as  interf'eriuir  with  the 
prerogative  of  the  Senate  to  judge  of  the  pro- 
priety of  Mr.  Ellis'  acts. 

Frank  .Thompson.  Receiver  of  the  Abingdon- 
Square  Bank,  testified  to  the  condition  in  which 
he  found  the  bank  when  he  took  possession  of 
it  in  August,  lS7t*.  He  said  he  found  second 
mortgages  from  the  President,  one  of  $13,000 
and  another  of  .$11,000,  given  in'  lJ>7.5  :  he 
found  the  general  condition  of  the  bank  the 
first  three  weeks  after  taking  posses»^ion,  but 
not  all  the  details  :  it  is  the  custothin  Xew-Vork 
for  the  abstracts  of  title  and  tbe  searcher  to  go 
to  the  bank  taking  mortgages  :  im  abstracts 
were  found  in  this  bank  regarding  the  mort- 
gages held  by  it. 

Tills  closed  the  case  of  the  Abingdon-Squap>e 
Hank  for  the  pro.sef^ution. 

The  raortjrages  given  by  the  President  of  the 
Trades  .Savings  Bank  aud  transferred  to  the 
bank,  heretofore  called  for,  were  produced  and 
identified. 

H.  L.  Lamb  was  called  on  to  produce  the 
papers  relarint;  to  the  German  Savincs  Bank. 
Morrij^inia,  He  said  he  had  not  had  time  since 
subiMx-uaed  to  prodtice  them.  ■ 

The  afternoon  session  was  opened  by  taking 
the  case  of  the  failure  of  tho  Loaners'  Bank. 
L.  Lamb,  Deputy  Sui>erintendent,  read 
several  letters  regarding  the  condition  of  the 
bank.  The  bank  refused  to  allow  Reid  to  ex- 
amine its  affairs;  Ellis  said  he  would  ga and 
look  into  the  matter  him.self  ;  a  letter  was  sent 
tt)  the  Attorney-General  April  4,  1^7G,  a.sking 
if  the  bank  could  be  compelled  to  report : 
the  Attorney-General  said  it  could.  In  reply 
to  a  qtiestion  by  Mr.  McGuire,  for  Ellis. 
Mr.  Lamb  said  the  Stiperinteudent  had  no  pow- 
er to  enforce  tho  law  on  the  refusal  to  repoi^  or 
be  examined  ;  a  letter  of  William  Tracy,  attor- 
ney for  the  bank,  is  tiled  in  tlie  department 
airuinst  the  power  to  examine  :  the  bank  faiietl 
shortly  afterward  ;  a  Receiver  was  aj^yointed  in 
May,  1n70,  and  was  relieved  in  Xovember. 
Jeremiah  Wintrimrham,  Kceiver  of  the  Loan- 
ers" Hank,  testified  as  follows :  The  assets 
of  the  bank  were  :?14.0()0  :  jewels  pledged 
to  the  bank  had  been  pawned  again  : 
the  Loaners'  Bank  had  dealings  with  the 
Abingd<m->'quare  Saviiitrs  Bank ;  the  assets 
were  a  miscellaneotLs  collection  of  life  insur- 
ance i)olicies.  jewelry,  stocks.  i>lated  ware,  and 
real  estate  in  Indiana.  Xew-Jersey,  and  Mis- 
souri :  transferred  insuriince  policies  to  compa- 
nies for  le.^ithan  the  loans  <m  them,  and  also

Saratoga,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  1.— The  Saratoga 
Monument  Association  met  here  to-day.  with 
iJuv.  Seymour  in  the  chair.  Arrangements 
were  made  for  carrying  through  a  celebration  of 
the  centennial  of  Burgoyno's  surrender  at 
Schuyler\-ille  on  Oct.  17.  Gov.  Seymour  ad- 
vised the  holding  of  preliminary  meetings  two 
or  three  days  before,  and  also  that  efl'orts  be 
made  to  briiig  in  people  from  the  L'pper  Hudson 
to  celebrate  the  ev^nt.  He  subscribed  ^100  for 
the  expanses,  and  D.  A.  Bullard.  of  Schuyler- 
ville.  Htlded  the-  same  amouui,  in  axldition  to 
which  pledges  were  made  of  much  more  from 
persons  not  present.  Two  natives  of  Saratoga 
Countv.  residing  West,  have  given  $:^."iO.  W.

OX'  TRIAL  FOR  ARSOX. 
MiDDLETON,  N.  v.,  Atig.  1.— Frank  "W. 
Clark,  23  years  of  age.  was  to-day  examined  at 
Goshen..Qn  the  charge  of  arson  for  setting  fire 
to  his  father's  storehouse  in  Chester  to  obtain 
the  liisurance  on  goods  in  which  he  was  inter- 
ested. He  was  held  to  await  tho  action  of  the 
Grand  Jury  and  committed  without  byiil.  Two 
clerks,  who  slept  over  an  adj<)ining  store,  which 
wtt.s  also  burned,  barely  e^^*aped  with  their 
lives.  The  testimony  elicited  indicates  that 
Clark  had  no  accessories  in  the  deed.  Clark 
was  of  a  religious  turn  of  mind,  and  has  hereto- 
fore borne  a  good  reputatiou.  He  belongs  to 
an  excellent  family.  A  belief  is  gaining  ground 
that  he  is  insane.

Wednesday,  Aug,  1 — P,  M. 
The  sliare  speculation  on  thu  Stock  Ex- 
rhange  wiis  very  feverish  to-day,  and  the  mar- 
ket, after  ilnetuatiug  fre(iuently  betweeiTflrm- 
ness  and  depression,  dooUy  iJosed  weak  it  a  de- 
cline of  Hj  to  1  l-j  P  cent,  from  the  ttighest 
(luotatioua  uf  the  day.  Prominent  among  the 
influences  affecting  prices  were  heavy  sales-  of 
long  stock,  the  passing  of  the  dividend  by  the 
PenssylvaBia  Riulroad  Company,  and  the  riot  at 
Scraiitou.  Western  Union  was  again  prominent 
in  the  dealings,  aud,  after  some  very  erratic 
tluctiiationi),  closed  at  neitrly  the  lowest  point  of 
the  day.  Thc.coursoof  tiiis  stock  gave  rise  to 
several  reports,  among  which  was  one  to  the 
effect  that  the  parties  to  the  boll  pool  were  at 
variance,  and  it  was  freely  stated  that  they  were 
acciasiiii;  each  other  of  bad  faith.  The.  impres- 
sion grows  that  one  of  the  leading  operators  in 
th^late  upward  torn  was  not  &t  heart  a  bull, 
but  only  joined  the  mavemenl'for  the  purpose 
tt  (oeatisg  a  market  to  uU  on.  If  tiuift  ba  any

CLOSE  OP  THE  THIRD  COMPETITION  TOR 
PLACES  OK  THE  AStEBICAN  TEAM — 
MATCHES  POK  THE  "  'WTLIE"  BADGE  AND 
STOCK  EXCHANGE  TROPHY. 

The  second  stage  of  the  third  competion  for 

places  on  the  American  long  range  team  was  con- 
dnded  yesterday,  and  i^snltod  in  some  splendid 
scores  being  made.  The  -weatier  differed  from  that 
Tvhieh  prevailed  on  the  previous  day,  in  the  absence 
of  the  glare  of  the  son,  and,  having  the  same  condi- 
tions in  regard  to  wind  as  on  the  preceding  day,  ex- 
pert marksmen  took  advantage  of  the  opportunity 
offered.  At  the  first  rangp — 800  yard^ — Gen.  Dakin 
made  a  clean  score  of  75  points,  while  Messrs. 
Allen  and  Rahbeth  ea-sh.  made  74,  coming  with- 
in one  point  of  a  fnll  F«ire.  The  aggregate  score 
mnrie  by  the  first  eipht  marksmen  was  1,624: 
pfints.  only  10  points  b.'hind  the  largest  score  ever 
achieved — made  in  the  fir^  t  stage  of  the  second  com- 
petion. la-st  week.  At  tho  900-yards  range  there  was 
a  slight  falling  off,  and  at  1,000  yards  nearly  all  the 
rrack  shots  made  one  or 'more  misses.  Following  are

l.y  the  railway  company's  ferry-boats.  After 
ii'  time  it  was  discovered  that  the  pier 
;md  island  were  h">th  constmcted  illegally. 
The  islantJ.  it  was  learned. was  on  ^tate  propfrty.  ami 
111-' pier.  althMutrh  constmcted  on  ^ound  owned  _b^ 
the  ferrj-  company,  wan  in  %iolation  of  a  law  of  185  /. 
which  declares  that  no  pier  shall  be  built  within  100 
f.  f.T  of  another.  Triese  facts  were  ' communicated  to 
tin-  Attorii'-y-tTeneral  nf  the  St.itf,  and  he  authorizied 
the  cninseruf  tiie  Staten  Hland  Ferry  Company  to 
liring  suit  in  the  name-  of  the  people  for  the  reinov.il 
nt'  the  pier  and  islamt  and  coiiseqaently  or"  tha 
»lub-hou«e.  In  the  ii^upreme  Court  Judge  Wt-s;--- 
■irffok  decided  that  the  titmctures  existed  in 
-iolatlonof  law.  and  ordered  their  removal.  Tiio- 
^apretue  Conrt.  '  Jeneral  Term  affirmed  his  df  - 
-i.*!ion.   and  subsequently  the  Court  of  Appeals  diil 

the  tRine. 

In  the  Tne.intime  the  Pilot  Commissioners,  who  arti 
ftlso  the  Harbor  Commi.ssi'mers,  took  the  matter  in. 
:iand.  After  Judt;e  \Vestbn>ok"s  decision  they  not i- 
li.'d  tho  ferry  company  to  take  away  the  pier  and 
.-iland.  The'rorjioration  failed  to  do.  this,  so  tho  ' 
!'ommis?i<»ner9  decided  to  do  it  themselves.  A  con- 
lr.-u  I  for  the  work  wa-s  dven  out.  and  the  contractor 
undertook  to  tear  down  the  crih- work  and  the  club- 
houj»e.  This  action  starter!  the  'ferry  war.""  whicli 
has  broken  out  at  intervals  ever  since.  The  wnrk- 
nii'u  were  hombiirded  with  stones  by  rioters  and  were- 
ielnge*!  with  hot  water  from  the  pii>e.s  of  the  ferrj-- 
nout  JJ.  R.  Martin.  Tlio  IHlot  Commissioners  then, 
stopped  the  w«>rk  and  have  not  liad  it  resumed. 
N-veral  attempt-s  to  butt  down  the  structures,  made- 
by  the  bt>ats  of  the  railway  company,  have  since  ex- 
cited t);e  people  of  Stapleton.  and  have  given  rise  to 
leiral  complications  of  a  minor  character.  A  short 
riiiieaijo  the  ferrj'  company  i?ive  notice  that  the  case 
had  been  carried  to  the  Supreme  Court  of 
th"  United  States  on  a  writ  of  error.  The  ^ound  of 
this  action  was  that  the  (aw  of  18.^7,  tiling  the 
distance  that  piers  must  be  built  apart,  was  uncon- 
stitutional.    The  counsel  for  the  ferry  companny  say 

-  that  this  is  a  mere  quibble,  adopted  for  the  sake  of 
the  delay  it  will  afford,  as  the  case  cannot  be  reached 
in  the  L  nited  States  Supreme  Court  within  several 
years.  Tliey  add  also  that  while  that  court 
can  review  the  decisions  of  the  State  courts 
so  far  a-i  the  law  of  1«57  is  con- 
citTied.  it  cannot  act  with  reference  to  the  artifi- 
cial island  and  the  club-house,  as  those  structures  are 
uuqutfttionahly  on  the  property  of  the  people  of  this 
State,  and  their  owners  are  merely  intruders. 

As   the    Pilot    Commissioners  have  failed  to  pull^ 

■  those  structures  down,  stating  that  they  have  no 
money  to  pay  for  the  work,  ifr.  McNamee,  of  coun- 
sel U>r  the  railway  company,  yesterday  applied  to 
.Indue  Westbrook  for  a  mandamus  to  compel  the 
i  v.nimlssi oners  tq  take  away  the  buildings.*'  Connsol 
for  the  ferry  company  applied  to  be  heard  in  oppo- 
sition t«)  th«  issuiMice'of  the  writ.  Tho  Judge  said 
I  lie  t'erry  company  had  no  right  in  the  matter,  but 
wotild  be  tmmted  a  hearing.  He  then  adjourned  tho 
r»se  until  ^Vednesday.  Aug.  15,  when  itiwill  come  up 
i.efore  Judge  Van  Bnmt. 

TBE  CHARGES  A  GAIXST  JUSTICE  EVifOXDS. 

The  investigation  into  the  ca.se  of  Justice 
Kohert  Vt".  Edmonds,  of  Mount  Vernon,  "Westchester 
County,  who  is  charged  with  having  attempted  to 
e.x.tort  exorbitant  fees  for  his  services,  and  with  being 
on  several  occasions  intoxicated  while  discharging 
his  judicial  duties,  was  continued  yesterday  before 
the  Referee.  County  Judge  Gifford.  The  examina- 
tion of  witnesses  for  the  defense  was  resumed.  J. 
Sy.  O'Connor,  one  of  the  Town  Auditors,  testified 
tliut  when,  in  1875,  Ju^ce  Edmonds  presented  his 
hill  be  was  requested  bytUe  Board  of  Town  Auditors  to 
furnish  them  with  his  accounts,  which  he  did  ;  one  of 
the  bills  was  sent  back  to  him  as  incorrect,  and  he 
WHS  requested  to  correct  the  error  ;  before  the  Jus- 
tice had  sufficient  time  to  do  so,  however,  the  board 
adjourned.  The  object  of  this  testimony  was  to 
pliow  t  hat  Justice  Edmonds  had  not  willfully  attempted 
Ir.  defraud  tho  town.  Charles  Crary.  a  lawyer, 
residing  in  this  City,  testilied  that  on  several  occa- 
sions he  had  legal  transactions  with  Justice  Ed- 
monds, and  the  results  had  always  been  satisfactory ; 
he  had  never  seen  the  Justice  intoxicated  ;  Joseph 
Bellesheira,  Justice  of  the  Peace  at  Motmt  Vernon, 
testified  that  he  did  business  in  New-York,  and 
sent  most  of  his  cases  before  Justice  Edmonds. 
Samuel  Fee,  Justice  of  the  Peace,  said  that  in  1S75 
lie  was  almost  entirely  engaged  in  business  in  New- 
York,  and  sent  all  of  his  cases  during  that  time  be- 
fore ilr.  Edmonds.  The  object  of  the  testimony  of 
the  last  two  witnesses '  was  to  prove  that  Edmonds 
had  not  charged  exorbitant  bills  to  the  town,  Inas- 
much as  ho  was  about  the  onlj  Justice  who  had  done 
our  business  there  during  IS/ 5,  and  had  only.asked 
for  the  legal  compensation  for  his  services.  The  in- 
quiry was  here  aajoumed.

rUArV  IX  THE  IMPOKTATZOy  OF  SWOARS. 

Special  Agent  Tingle,  of  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment, is  in  this  City  for  the  purpose  of. examining  the 
long-standing  charges  ag^nst  certain  firms  of  fraud 
in  the  imporUtio'n  of  sugars.  The  subject  has  already 
been  investigated  several  times,  and  so  far  nothing 
>ew  has  fceen  developed.  The  process  by  which  tha 
Government  is  alleged  to  have  been  defrauded  con- 
jijsts  in  ftddirg  a  sufi^eut  anantitar  of  colorine  matter 


tothe  lifter  grades  of  sugar  to  give  them  the  dark 
brown  hue  of  the  cheaper  varieties.  In  this  condition 
tiiey  pass  the  Custom-house  at  low  valuations,  the 
colored  matter  being  atterwaid  removed,  and  the 
sugar  restored  to  its  original  standard,  by  refining. 
As  the  color  of  the  stigar  is  the  only  criterion  recog- 
nized by  the  present  law,  it  is  thought  that  there  will 
be  some  difficulty  in  securing  convictions  ui£der  it. 

KELSEY  nr  THE  LAND  OF  THE  LIVING 

A  DETECTIVE  TELLS  A  STEANQE  STOEY— HE 
SAYS  KELSEY  "WAS  NOT  MURDERED,  AND 
HE  HOPES  TO   PRODUCE  HIM  ALIVE. 

Yesterday  a  member  of  the  National!  Detec- 
tive Agency  visited  the  Brooklyn  head-quarters  of 
the  institution  and  formally  gave  notice  of  the  Gen- 
eral Manager's  intention  of  at  once  rettiming  to 
work  on  the  great  Huntington  tar  and  feathers  case. 
In  conversation  with  a  reporter  the  detective  told  an 
extraordinary  story  in  reference  to  the  Kelsey  case, 
which  is  here  given  for  ^rhat  it  is  worth  : 

"  Kelsey,"  said  the  detective,  "is  not  dead."  This 
he  intended  to  prove  by  the  production  of  the  man 
himself,  whom,  he  assured  the  writer,  they  (the 
agency]  had  located,  and  concerning  whose  wander- 
ings they  had  a  full  and  complete  history  since  the 
eveiitful  night  when  he  left  Htrntington.,  While  con- 
versing with  the  reporter  the  detective,  who  has  been 
"watching  the  case  "all  along,  said  :  "I  could  ex- 
hibit to  you  such  proofs  of  what  I've  said  that  you 
would  as  soon  doubt  your  own  existence  asjthat  of 
Kelsey".  The  report,  which  some  years  ago 
created  no  little  excitement,  of  the  fanner  who 
said  he  saw  Kelsey  in  Chambers-street,  in 
this  City,  and  who  chased  him  into  a 
building,  Kelsey  recognizing  and  fleeing  from  him. 
the  detective  said  was  correct.  It  was  wliat  that  man 
saw  which  placed  the  detectives  on  the  riglft  track, 
and  on  one,  too,  from  wliich  detennmed  etforts  have 
been  made  to  throw  them. 

.lifter  exhibitinE;  a  number  of  letters  and  "small 
poems  "  which  Kelsey  had  written,  tho  context  of 
which  show  his  character  and  thoocchts  better  than 
any  of" his  loutter  epistles  which  have  been  published, 
a  number  of  photographs  of  the  man  were:  shown. 
According  to  this  officer's  statements,  the  letters 
front  "Washington  Territorj'.  reported  to  have  been 
written  by  Kelsey's  brother,  were  written  by  KeLsey 
himself.  '■\S'hy,  Sir,"  the  officer  continued,  "when 
I  think  of  this  affair,  and  review  in  my  mind  all  the 
facts  connected  with  it.  it  almost  sets  mo  beside  my- 
self to  think  that  that  fellow  is  allowedtorunsolong. 
He  has  had  his  revenge  and  it  has  been  a  terrible  one. 
Up  there  in  Yates-a venue,  near,  Broadway,  Royal 
Sammis  and  his  wife  Julia  live  in  a  tenement, 
broken  down  in  body  and  mind."  "Howido  you 
account  for  the  finding  of  the  limb  in  the  waters  of 
tho  bay  ("  asked  the  reporter.  "A  physician  died 
rather  suddenlv  here  a  few  weeks  ago."  replied  the 
detective.  "W'hen  I  explain  and  show,  as  soon 
I  will,  how  that  limb  cnm"  in  the|  water, 
it  will  in  some  measure  account  for  that  gen- 
tleman's death.  That  limb  was  exhumed  from  its 
grave  and  planted.  That  limb  was  not  the  limb 
of  a  man,  but  of  a  woman  Who  died  a  terri- 
ble death.  Why.  Sir.  the  full  story  iof  this 
Kelsey  business,  when  it  is  made  known,  will  horrify 
the  countrj-.  In  a  few  days  I  leave  here.  1  am  now 
awaiting  the  rerum  of  two  of  ouh  men,  and  when 
I  return  Royal  Sammhs  and  the  other  people  who 
have  suffered  will  have  the  cloud  which  rests  over  i 
them  removed. "

The  Brooklyn  Aldermen  met  yesterday]  Alder- 
man Ray  in  the  chair.  Mayor  Schroeder  Ke|nt  in  a 
communication  withdrawing  the  name  of  George  C. 
Bennett  for  Commissioner  of  City  Works  and  sub- 
stituting instead  the  name  of  ex-Alderman  A.  S. 
Rowley,  "W.  il.  Little'  was  also  uoimnated  for 
Register  of  Arrears  in  place  of  Mr.  AVTiilney,  the 
present  incumbent,  and  James  Ryan  for  Fire  Com- 
missioner in  place  of  Hugh  McLaughlin.  The  nomi- 
nations were  laid  on  the  table  by  a  vote  of  l!2  to  11, 
Alderman  Eastman,  lieznocrat'  being  absent,  and 
Alderman  Burnett,  Rjepubiican,  -with  wtiom  he 
paired,  not  voting  on  i  political  qnestinns.  Eleven 
nominations  for  the  B^rd  of  Education  sent  in  by 
the  Mavor  were  tabled  by  the  same  vote. 

The  Law  Committee  reported  that  the  bond  of  the 
Mutual  Gas-light  Company  was  worthless. ,  on  the 
ground  that  it  was  insufficient  to  afford  thie  city  a 
cheai>er  cas  or  to  protect  the  streers.  The  report 
also  set  forth  that  two  of  the  sureties  were  non  resi- 
dents, and  that  the  terms  of  the  company !s  bon«ls 
obliged  them  to  spend  only  $401>,0(X>  in  1-  J^ears,  as 
aga:n>t  $y.<K)0.(XK>  capital  invested  by  gas  com- 
panies already  in  existence.  It  was  also  ctijarged  in 
the  report  that  the  policy  t>f  the  newconijianj'  was  to 
supply  compact  portions  of  the  city  with  gn-sj  lea%-ing 
outlying  portions  uusui-plied.  The  report  iwai  or- 
dered to- be  printed  on  the  minutes.  AJdennan 
Fisher  jLAve  notice  that  at  the  next  meetlnt;.  which 
will  take  place  in  Sei»teraber,  he  would  bring  in  a

I  -  A  TJpLEXT  DEPUTY  DOG-CATOMER. 
I  Charles  Clark,  an  ill-looking  fellow,  -who  holds 
tlje  position  of  Deputy  Dog-catcher.  wa.s  arraigned 
at  the  Toiribs  Police  Court,  yesterday  mcming,  on 
a  charge  of  assault  preferred  by  a  respectable  col- 
ored wom£in  named  Sarah  A.  Ross,  a  resident  of  No. 
11  Jersey-Street.  It  appears  from  the  comjdainant's 
statement  that  Clark  followed  her  dog  lome,  and 
ehdeav. red  to  capture  it.  Mrs,  Ross  resisted  this, 
stating  that  she  would  comply  with  the  |  law  and 
procure  a  license  for  the  dog.  Clark  became  greatly 
incensed,  and  drawing  a  revolve^:  threitened  Jo 
shoot  herJ  She  thereupon  caused  his  ari-est.  At 
court  yesterday  he  was  committed  to  the  Island  for 
one  month  in  default  of  .$500  bail  for  his  «ood  be- 
havior fo^  six  months.  On  retiring  to  the  Tombs  he 
muttered  that  he  would  have  the  satisfaction  of 
seeine  Sariah's  dog  hanged  before  he  got  through  with 
it.  This  man  Clark  is  the  same  that  some  tune  ago 
was  conunitted  for  trial  for  seizing  a  dog  by  the 
hind  legs  and  dashing  its  head  against  the  curb-stone.

A  MAD  STEER  IX  THE  STREETS. 
A  steer  escaped  yesterday,  from  one  of  tie 

East  Side  cattle-yards,  and  after  creating  considerable 
excitement  along  Twenty-third-street  and  Third- 
avenue,  it  rushed  throtigh  Allen  '^md  Forsyth  streets 
and  across  the  Bowery,  pursued  by  several  officers  of 
the  Fotirteenth  Precinct,  one  of  whom  emptied  the 
contents  of  his  revolver  into  the  side  of  the  animal. 
The  effect  of  the  bullets,  however,  only  added  to  its 
fury.  Turning  Into  Broadway,  by  way  of  Broome- 
Btreet,  chased  by  a  yelling  crowd  of  "boys,  the  fran- 
tic animal  began  to  manifest  signs  of  exhaustion,  but 
still.had  vitaflty  enotigh  left  to  attempt  the  goring  of 
a  stage  horse,  which  it  slightly  injured.  At  that 
point  several  more  shots  were  fired  at  it,  and  Officer 
I>aab  dealt  the  crazed  animal  a  deadly  blow  with  a 
sledge-hammer  between  the  eyes.  It  instantly  fell, 
and  a  moment  afterward  was  put  out  of  misery  by 
Officer  Hognn.  who  struck  an  ice  nick  into  ^ts  bnuo.

Saratoga,  N.  T.,  Aug,  1.— "Bramble"  Is 
now  the  popular  word  in  Saratoga,  and  it  seems  as 
if  the  Tery  wind  wafts  the  ma^e  word  through  the 
expansive  corridors  of  the  hotels.  Wherever  you 
see  a  eronp  of  men  in  earnest  conversation,  "Bram-

are  I  in  I  high  glee.  Several  ladies  had  tickets  on 
the  colt^  in  the  mutual  pools,  which  paid  $112  each. 
Napier  |  Lothian,  the  conductor  of  the  Grand  "Union 
Orchestra,  was  one  of  the  lucky  ones  who  bought 
auction  pools,  and  won  nearly  $400  with  a  very 
small  investment,  which  so  elated  his  mtisicians  that 
he  was  obliged  to  open  two  kegs  of  lager  in  order  to 
bring  them  in  proper  form  for  the  reg- 
ular evening  concert,  which  was  noted  as 
being  particularly  excellent.  No  race  of  re-

ones  "were  the  sufferers,  and  only  won  sympathy 
from  their  own  circle.  It  is  generally  conceded  that 
the  race  was  a  "scratch."  b{it  it  was  one  that  will 
remainindelibly  impressed  on  the.  minds  of  the  vic- 
tims. Bramblo  got  the  prize  by  the  Ktart  he  re- 
ceived, but  still  he  must  not  be  uudetrated  on  that 
account,  for  that  he  is  a  really  good  one  there  can 
be  '  no  doubt.  The  same  colts  meet  again 
in  the  Kentucky  Stakes,  on  Aug.  11,  the  first  day  of 
the  second  meeting.  The  race  will  be  over  the  same 
distance,  with  the  same  number  of  entries,  and  it  is  a 
strange  coincidence  that  Bramble  is  tho  last  nomina- 
tion; No.  49,  in  the  Kentucky  as  he  was  in  the  Sara- 
toga Stakes.  The  coming  race  will  test,  and  proba- 
bly decide,  the  qualities  of  Bramble. 

There  is  another  interesting  programme-  for  to- 
morrow,  and  the  four  races  will  afford  the  spectators 
ample  scope  to  ply  their  vocation  of  "working  the 
pool-bos."  The  first  affair  is  a  free  handicap  sweep- 
stakjes  of  $20,  with  $400  added,  one  mile  and  an 
eighth,  which  presents  a  field,  of  eight — J.  T.  Wil-

AN  ELECTRIC  LIGHT  SIGNAL. 


EXPERn^EKTS,  '  "WI-pH  A  MAG^^:TO-ELECTRIC 
MAcklNE  AND  AUTOMATIC  LAMP  FOB  USE 
IN  SIGNAtliNG  kr  NIGHT. 
Capt.  S.  B.  Ilmce,!  United  States  Navy,  com- 
manding tbel  flagship  Hartford,  has.  been  conducting 
a  series  of  exjierimeiits  with  a  patent  magneto-elec- 
tric machine  and  automatic  lamp,  which  it  "was  oro- 
posed  to  intrpdi;ce  in  the  Navy  for  distant  signaling 
at  night,  for  detecting  the  approach  of  boats,  and 
signaling  in  a  fog.  The  machine  used  consists  of  fo^r 
permanent  magnets  coiled  with  large  Insulated  copper 
wire.  The  amiittiTe  is  composed  of  ca.st-iron,  ha\'ing 
50  small  majgnets — 2^  on  each  side.  These  are  coiled 
with  fine  insulated  copjwr  wire  ;  each  small  magnet 
being  in  electrical  cj>imection  with  those  on  both 
Bides  of  it  j;  thej^  are  also  connected  with  the  com- 
mutator. !  ijliis  j  armature  is  attached  to  a  horizontal 
spindle  passing  [between  tiite  two  pairs  of  magnets." 
The  armature  moves  in  a  vertical  plane.  The  spindle 
at  each  end!  ha?  a  band  pulley  by  which  motion  or' 
revolution  is  r^ceive^  from  a  driving  engine.  The 
commutators  are  peouhar,  consisting  of  a  skeleton 
brass  frame /arbund  a  portion  of  tho  spindle.  This 
frame  is  composed  of  10<.>  divisions,  or  huTB  running 
parallel  to  the  akis  of  the  frame  and  separated  from 
each  other  by  aii  interval  of  1-liO  of  an  inch.  Te  e«ch 
bar  are  atta<fhe4  the  e^ids  of  two  wires.  The  current 
Is  taken  trpm '  the  icommutator  by  copper  wire 
brushes,  two  fqr  each  one,   thence  to  the  binding 

SCITWB.  ■  I 

The  lanip  used  differed  little  from  the  ones  in  or- 
dinary use,  the  distance  of  the  i-arliou  ppiiits  being 
regulated  hy  foi^oe  of  gravity  and  small  electro  mag- 
nets. The  direction  of  the  current  may  be  con- 
trollt^dJiy^-a  switch  at  the  bottom  of  the  lamp.  The 
lamp"  requires  but  little  attention  and  is  self-adjust- 
ing. 'Ill  I' 

The  driving  engine  was  a  Sewell's  Pump,  connected 
with  tlie  auxiliajry  boiler.  A  steady  li?ht  was  pro- 
duced without  inlenjuption  for  three  and  a  half 
hours,  when  it  was  nec(?ssary  to  stop  and  replace  tho 
carbon  jwints.  As  tlie  steadiness  of  the  light  de- 
pends upon  the  regularity  \nih  which  the  engine 
runs,  it  IS  pMposed  to  provide  the  engine  with  a 
governor.;  The  p6sts|  of  the  machine  showed  but 
little  wear  uind  r*ar  atj  the  end  of  the  trial.  Signals 
liy  means  of  flashes,  usin^  a  reflector  having  a 
screen  over  its  Dice,  with  a  sliding  hood  covering  an 
aperture  twj>:  inches  in  diameter  through  which  tho 
flashes  wore:  raafie,  were  read  at  a  distance  of  eight 
miles  on  a  brisht  moonlicht  night,  and  could  have 
been  seen, at  twice  that  distnnce.  Other  experiments 
l^made  withoiit  airetloctor,  usinc  a  circular  screen  to 
^interrupt  ^he  llsfht,  were  equally  successful.  There 
was  no  opportunity  for  trial  on  a  stormy  night,  or  in 
foKffj'  weather. 

In  A  trial  with  the  Coston  signal,  the  electric  light 
was  readily  discerned  at  a  distance  of  13  miles, 
while  the  signalfi  by  the  Co  ton"s  lights  could  not  be 
distintruishf  d.  only  an  occasional  color  being  seen.  At 
greater  djstiancts  than  13  miles  the  electric  licht 
liecomes  lesk  diiitinct  :  iand  at  1  .">  miles  it  was  dropped, 
beins;  picked  up'  again  at  I'i^a  miles.  Kivo  rockets 
were  used  all  these  distances,  only  one  of  them  beiuK 
seen.  It  ivais  fajund  that  although  the  machine  v-na 
Well  adapted  y produce  a  cJear,  steady  licht.  when 
geared  to  ji  ^^d  engine,  and  was  valuable  for  di: 
tant  sign.uJiiig.  -yet  on  account  of  its  esjMiiise  and 
limited  sphere,  i  of  use  in  the  >'av->-  in  time  of 
I>eace,  its  jfurlher  introduction,  except  in  ."iHicial 
caws,  couid  jnot  he  recomraended.  The  machine 
used  on  Iwai"^  the  Hartford  was  fumi?-hed  for  trinl 
free  of  expetise,  and  baa  since  been  purchased  for  tise 
in  the  Xavj*.

ROBBERY  \0F  A  BOXDED  WAREHOUSE. 

A  few  nik:hfs  afjo  tho  Honded  warehouse  Xo. 
409  Washiiigtim-street  was  entered  bj  thieves,  and 
10  bales  of!]rrench  beaver -cloth,  valued  at  between 
$3,000  and  hI  000,  were  stolen.  The  robbers  eft'ect- 
ed  their  lentrF"  through  the  yard  of  tne  house  No.  yOS 
Canal-strcei  at  the  end  of  which  there  is  an  out- 
house connecting  with  a  passage-way  leading  to  tha 
rear  of  l^o.  ^HO  Washing  ton -street.  Over  the  door 
of  tho  warch:itiRe.  opening  into  this  passage-way.  is 
a  fan-lifiht;  so  that  while  the  door  itself  was  securely 
locked  and  U^rre^.  the  robbers  found  no  difficulty  in 
foi-cing  a  wiy  throuch  tho  aperture  above  and  getti:ig 
off  with  th6i^  ;plundci'.  The  facts  in  the  c-aso  havo 
been  kept  a  profound  secret  by  the  Police  in  hope  of 
discovering Itbeithieves.  but  so  far  without  success. 
Yesterday  workmen  were  engaged  in  "  bricking  up" 
the  doorway  already  mentioned,  so  that  future  dep- 
redators wilil  have  to  find  some  other  mode  of  en- 
trance, Te  i(  cases  of  spool  cotton  were  stolen  from 
this  same  walrehouse  several  years  ago,  and  there  are 
not  wanting  those  who  hint  that  the  robbei;ies  have 
not  all  been  :■*  jjut  up  ''  from  the  out.-ide. 

I  a|  \mnDED  VERDICT. 
Coroner  "tV'mitman  held  an  inquiry  yesterday 
into  the  cir  5  nastances  of  the  death  of  James  Ring- 
wood,  the  iiiptim  of  a  premature  blast  on  Riverside 
Drive  on  Jujy  27.  The  tesrimony  showed  that  Ring- 
wood  was  eiij^ed  in  "  tamping  "  a  blast,  and  th.it 
he  was  appajtently  ignorant  of  the  fact  that  a  car- 
tridge had  l5<?eii  deposited  in  the  hole.  Thomas  Ring- 
wood,  ahrotiierpf  the  deceased,  swore  that  he  saw 
James  Regan,  the  foreman,  thrust  a  cartridge  in  the 
hole,  unseen  by  the  deceased.  Regan  denied  that  he 
deposited  tire  [cartridge.  liVora  the  testimony  of 
others  it  app  ;ared  that  the  explosion  was  due  to  a  de- 
fect in  the  temping  iron  used  by  Ringwood.  Eight 
members  of  the  jury  rendered  a  verdict  that  tho 
man's  deathS  jtvas  paused  by  the  premature  explosion 
of  a  blast,  ^iiil^  ;  the  ninth  held  to  the  belief  that 
James  Regaii^  Tifas  guilty  of  criminal  carelessness  in 
having  throiih  ft  cartridge  into  the  hole  while  King- 
wood  was-ai  wcirlc  preparing  the  blast.

SHORi^  OF  FTTXDS  IX  JERSEY  CITY. 
At  a  meetiilig  of  the  Jersey  City  Police  Board 
held  last  evening.  Commissioner  Fowler  offered  a 
resolution  directing  that  the  City  Hospital  be  closed 
and  all  the  |  employes  dismissed  at  once.  Commis- 
sioner Bird  xiesisted  the  adoption  of  the  resolution, 
hut  every  n^ember  save  himself  voted  for  it.  The 
closing  of  tkp  hospital  was  necessitated  by  the  ex- 
haustion of  [tihe*  moneys  appropriated  to  sustain  it, 
and  it  is  anpther  of  the  restuts  of  the  parsimony  of 
the  Board  otfl  Finance.  Some  of  the  Commissioners 
said  that  thjej  appropriations  for  the  maintenance  of 
tlie  Police  force  are  almost  exhatisted,  and  it  may  be 
necessary  btelfore  the  close  of  the  fiscil  year  to  dis- 
band the  forte  for  want  of  money  to  pay  the  salaries 
of  the  Poliw

THE  LOXOSEOREMEX  WILL  XOT  STRIKE. 
It  was  reported  yesterday  that  the  longshore- 
men were  likely  to  strike,  but  the  rumor  seems  un- 
founded. The  longshoremen  on  the  East  River 
piers  deny  that  they  have  any  intention  of  stopping 
work,  and  say  that  it  is  not  more  wages 
they  want  so  much  an  more  to  do 
at  the  present  rates.  The  East  River 
branch  of  tho  'Longshoremen's  Association  held  a 
regular  meeting  last  night,  but  nothing  was  said  th.it 
would  indicate  their  intention  to  strike.  At  the  meet- 
ing of  the  North  Kiver  "Longshoremen's  Association, 
held  on  Monday  evening,  a  proposition  was  offered, 
the  purport  of  which  wjus  a  movement  for  an  increase 
of  wages,  but  it  was  voted  dotvn.  The  present  rat**; 
of  pay  of  the  'Longs'noremen  are  30  cents  an  hour  for 
day  and  4.5  cents  an  hour  for  night  work.  On  some 
of  the  docks  on  the  North  Kiver  the  bosses  are  pay- 
ing from  18  to  23  cents  per  hour.  .Since  the  strike 
of  last  yecir  for  its  old  rates  of  40  centos  per  hour, 
which  proved  a  failure,  the  'Longshoremen's  As.-iocia- 
tiou  has  been  rapidlv  losing  members,  until  to-day  it 
is  said  fully  one-h.-df  of  the  men  who  ply  that  calling 
are  independent  of  all  mles  and  regulations  of  lalK)r 
societies.

LoxDON",  Aug.  2. — The  crushing  defeat 
of  the  Russians,  which  was  announced  in 
last  night's  dispatches,  is  the  latest  of  a 
Penes  of  reverses  sustained  hj  the  invad- 
ing army  in  European  Turkey,  resem- 
blin;;  in  many  respects  the  disasters 
in  wliich  the  RiL^ian  campaicrn  in  Asia  Minor 
teirniuatf-d.  The  coiTespondent  of  The  Xew- 
YoRK  TiME.^  at  Oltenitza,  in  a  lettgr  dated  July 
27,  (rives  an  a^^count  of  a  rapid  succession  of 
Ru.ssian  defeats  precedinj;:  and  up  to  the  first 
repulse  of  the  Russians  at  i'levna,ag:ainst  vrhich 
ihey  sent  a  force  of  12.0OO  men,  which  was  re- 
pulsed on  the  lOlh  ult,  with  heavy  loss. 
The  defending  force  consisted  of  10,000  men, 
but  the  great  advantage  in  position,  added  to 
the  slovenly  or  ovcr-e-onddent  manner  in  which 
the  Russian  attack  was  conducted,  soon  enabled 
rhe  Turks  so  take  the  otTensive,  to  rout 
The  Russians,  and  capture  their  baggage 
Trains.  Imperative  orders  were  then 
*riven  from  the  Russian  Huad-quart.<>rs  for  the 
capture  of  Plevna,  and  Gen.  Baron  Knidener, 
with  his  Ninth  Corps,  was  hurriedly  ordereii 
fon\-ard  to  reinforce  the  defeated  body,  with 
instructions  to  renew  the  attack.  The  Turkish 
commander.  Osman  Pasha,  instead  of 
followin:;:  up  the  pursuit  "f  the  retiring 
Ru-^hian-::.  and  apparently  divining  their  in- 
lention  to  renew  the  aits;iult  on  his  position, 
wisely  f(»ll  hark  on  his  rest-rves  and  his  strong 
jn't'imd.  and  quietly  awaited  the  second  attack. 
The  Russians,  in  tho  meantime,  made 
f*very  effort  to  bring  up  what  they  in- 
Tf!Lded  should  Iwt  an  ovi-r^'helming  force, 
and  ih'nr  next  attwkwaj^  made  with  a  body 
amounting,  in  all  arms,  to  *50.()00  men.  The.*e 
operations,  however,  took  much  time  which  tha 
wily  Turkish  commander  al>i»  occunied  in  pre- 
parin:?  r^  re*'oive  the  ariack  by  increasing  his 
fr.ri'v  and  strengthenifig  his  position,  and  when 
;i:e  Russians  .idvanced  he  had  fully  50,000  men 
rf-ady  to  meet  them.  This  attack  was  not 
bt^gun  until  July  30.  and  continued 
rliroii^h  the  :31st  also,  rrstilting  finaliV  in  the 
reverse  which  seems  so  ominous  for  the  Rus- 
sian.s.  Your  correspondent,  in  the  letter  above 
n-i*-rre<l  t<>.  speaks  of  various  other  encounters, 
but  of  a  nrfiiminary  mitur*',  in  which  the  Rus- 
'■iians  were  badly  b*-aten.  but  no  particulars  of 
hesf  affairs,  nor  indeed,  the  fact  that  any  such 
■3aTe  i»ccii,rred.  is  permitted  by  the  Russian  au- 
:horities  to  be  telfgraphed.  so  jealously  do  ihf-y 
juard  against  the  transmission  of  reports  of 
:*vr-ntsn*sulting  so  nnfavorably  for  their  troops. 
The  d-r'-*3ted  Russians  are  now  falling  back 
up'Tin  their  centres,  disheartened,  and  at  length 
rh''ro\»ghIy  convinced  by  these  severe  less-^ns 
rhn"  Th>-ir  march  to  Oocstnniinople  is  to  be  bv 
no  ni'-ans  an  easy  one.  The.C^ar.  who.  though 
.--hvay.-,  making  a  great  show  of  confidence,  is  ih« 
iv.  cn-e  of  sanguine.  i>  overwhelmed  with  grii-f 
Bt  these  disastrrs.  In  rav  letter  ot  June  30  I 
slmeti  that  the  Turks  ha'\  an  eSVciive  plan  of 
Orftnse  between  rhe  Danube  itnd  the  Balkans 
v.hich  woul<l  a.-:oni.>h  tho  world.  Thf*  hour 
which  wrLS  to  rcv^-a,l  the  plan  has  apparently 
vme,  and  Osman  Fasha  ?<:-ems  to  be  its  hero. 


L'»T>ON\  Aug.  2.— A  Renter  telegram  from 
ronstantinople,  dated  "W'ednes^lay  even-

THE  PRESSURE  ON  AUSTRIA  FROM  HUNGARY 
TO  INTERPEEE— THE  SERVIAN  POLICY 
ANT>  ITS  EFFECT — ITALY  TO  FOLLOW 
GERMA>-Y — GREECE: 

Pesth,  Aug.  2.— A  deputation  from  the 
recent  aati-Rossian  popular  meetiu^  to-day  had 
an  interview  with  Sliuister  Tisza,  and  read 
resolutions  condemning  -the  alleged  Russian 
atrocities-  Minister  Tisza  replied  that  it  was 
impossible  to  find  a  lasting  remedy  for  the 
atrocities  until  peace  was  restored.  The  un- 
called for  intervention  of  a  single  power  might 
extend  the  war,  but  he  hoped  the 
time  was  not  distant  when  I  Europe 
might  have  an  opportunity  to  put  a  lasting  stop 
to  the  atrocities  during  the  war.  The  Govern- 
ment, while  mindful  of  its  duty  to  ertiard 
Austro-Hungarian  interests,  felt  it  incumbent 
to  spare  the  property  and  blood  of  the|  nation  aa 
much  as  possible.  They  would  not  be  slow  to 
take  fitting  mea.sures  at  the  nroper  I  time,  but 
would  carefully  avoid  precipitation, 

Loxr>ON,  Aug.  2.— A  \'ienna  dispatch  to  the 
Times  says:  **  In  one  of  the  late  sittings  of  the 
Skuptschina  private  loans  were  voted  to  the 
Servian  GovernmBnt  really,  though  not  ostensi- 
bly, for  military  measures." 

Prime  Minis'ter  Ristics  does  not  attempt 
to  conceal  a  desire  for  the  annexation 
of  old  Servia  and  Bosnia.  He  says 
he  is  in  perfect  accord  with  i  the 
Prince  on  this  head.  An  -attempt  of 
Ser\na  and  Montenegro  to  participate  in  the 
spoils  would  be  one  of  contingencies,  in  the  face 
of  which  the  power  intrusted  to  Count  An- 
drassy  would  be  put  into  execution. 

The  Timt^s"  Rome  dispatch  has  the  foUowing; 
*'  In  regard  to  the  foreign  policy  of  Italy, 
about  which  so  many  contradictory  reports 
have  recently  appeared,  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  Italy  is  more  directly  con- 
cerned in  what  is  going  on  in  Western 
Europe  than  in  the  Eastern  difficulty. 
She  lias  a  joint  interest  with  Germariy 
in  the  result  of  the  approaching  i  French 
elections,  and  though  I  cannot  un- 
dertake to  say  a  direct  alliance  has  been  con- 
cluded. .%n  understanding  has  been  anivotl  at 
by  which  Italy  will  follow  Germany  in  the  East- 
em  question.'' 

Athens.  Aug.  2.— King  George  has  presented 
a  memorandum  on  the  military  position  ojf  the 
country  to  the  Ministiy  of  \Var.  The  King  is  of 
opinion  that  both  the  land  and  sea  forces 
shotild  be  placed  in  a  state  of  readine.ss  and 
mea.sures  taken  to  defend  the  frontier  of  Epirus 
and  Thessaly,  those  provipees  being  infested 
by  brigands.  News  is  published  here  of  an  in- 
surrectionary movement  against  the  Turks  at 
Grevena  in  Albarda. 

LoN-Dox,  Aug.  ;^.— The  TitttfiA'  Belgrade  cor-

the  Secretary-  of  the  National  Rifle  Association

The  trophy  being  \so  held,  the  council 
are  confident  that  \lhe  trust  will  be

prejudice-1  views  expressed  by  the  "  pro-

whether  the  ri^ht  of  .Scotland  to  enter

Cleveland,  Ohio,'  Aug.  2.— The  action  of 
the  Republican  Convention  held  hero  yester- 
day gives  general  satisfaction  to  the  parlv 
throughout  the  State.  There  is  some  discon- 
tentment regarding  the  platform,  many  of  tho 
old-time  leaders  declaring  that  the  labor  and 
money  planks  are  weak.  Respecting  the  candi- 
dates, however,  there  seems  to  be  but  one  lOpin- 
ion.  Both  West  and  Yoegier  are  strong  miftn  in 
ever)'  sense  of  the  term,  and  they  have  the  ad- 
va.ntage  of  never  having  been  in  conflict  with 
any  of  the  other  leaders.  All  wings  of  the  party 
can  unite  in  their  hearty  support.  The  cam- 
jiaign  will  be  commenced  at  once  and  pushed 
with  vigor.  Mattiiews,  Gartield,  Taft.;  and 
many  others  will  take  the  stump  in  a  few  days.

Jackson,  Miss.,  Aug.  2. — On  reassem- 
to-day  the  Democratic  State  Contention  nomi- 
nated W-  H.  Sims,  of  Lowndes,  Lieutenant- 
Governor;  W.  L.  Hemingray,  of  Carrol,  Treas-

Catchings,  of  Warreu,  Attorney-General,  and  J. 
Argyle  Smith,  of  Rankin,  Superintendent  of 
Public  Education.  The  following  platform  was 
adopted :  : 

Fidelity  to  tlie  ronstltaiion  of  the  United  States  : 
home  rule  and  the  preservjttionof  State  GovemiDents 
with  all  their  reserved  und  guaranteed  rights  unim- 
paired ;  no  mterference  by  the  military  powei  with 
tne  freedom  of  elections  and  with  the !  civil 
and  political  rights  of  ciiizons  of  the  United  States  ; 
the  protection  oi  equal  rights  of  all  classes  ;  i^o  dis- 
crimination ou  account  of  rare,  color,  previous  con- 
dition of  ser\"irude,  or  birtl;i.nlac©,  and  no  special  legis- 
lation for  the  Lenelit  of  the  lew  at  the  expense  of  tiie 
many ;  a  strirt  adherence  in  the  selection  of 
pubhc  agents  to  the  time-honored  JelFersonian 
standard,  "Is  he  honest,  is  he  capable,  is  he  true 
to  the  Constitution  ;"'  a  continuation  of  the  policy  of 
retrenchment  and  reform  bo  signally  inaugu- 
rated hy  the  Demneratic  Party ;  a  reduc- 
tion in  the  hardens  of  taxation  to  !  the 
lowest  point  ■  cimpatible  with  an  «flSeient 
execution  of  laws;  corporations  oC  every  descrip- 
tion to  be  supeririHable  within  the  constitutional 
limits  by  State  authority  and  subordinate  to  St:ite 
legislation  in  the  interest  of  and  for  the  protection 
of  the  people. 

As  the  perpetuity  of  free  government  depends 
upon  the  virtue  and  intelligence  of]  the  people,  w© 
pledge  ourselves  to  the  maintenance  of  the  Stata 
system  of  free  schools.  We  tavor  granting  such  tad  as 
may  be  extended  without  violation  iof  the  Constitu- 
tiou  of  the  United  States,  or  departing  from  the 
usages  of  the  Government ,  to  the  Texas  and  Pacilic 
Railroad,  and  for  rebuildiug  and  keieping  in  repair 
the  levees  of  the  3IissLsiiippi  River  :  [  that  upon  this 
platform  we  invite  tho  cooperation  of  all  citi- 
3:eQ«,  without  regard  to  past  differences. 

The  following  resolution  was  also  adopted, 
after  which  and  the  appointment  of  executive 
committees  the  convention  adjourned :        i 

Bsiolted,  That  unity  and  harmony  are  essential  to 
victory  -.  that  all  indenendant  mov«m«ntM  ^ra  dAnaer* 


ous  to  the  integrity  of  party  organizations ;  that  aH 
independent  candidates  are  inspirtjd  solely  by  lu-st 
for  office,  and  shall  be  treated  as  common  enemies  to 
the  welfare  of  the  people,  and  avowed  enemies  of  the 
Democratic  Party  of  the  State  of  MississippL 

In  his  speech  last  night  Senator  Lamar  warm- 
ly indorsed  President  Hayes'  policv  so  far  as  it 
affected  the  South.  On  the  other  hand,  Mr. 
Singleton,  member  of  Congress  for  the  Fourth 
District,  followed  and  objected  to  any  appro\-al 
of  a  man  who,  he  said,  had  gone  into  ofQce

Special  jytspatch  to  the  yew-  YorX  Tim^s. 

Boston.  Mass.,  Aug.  2.— \\'hen  Judge 
Ames,  of  the  Supreme  Court,  sitting  in  Cham- 
bers, opened  the  session  in  Cambridge  this 
morning,  there  were  present  several  promin- 
ent and  obscure  theatrical  habitues  .ind  per- 
formers^ all  called  to  listen  to  the  open- 
ing of  ■  the  divorce  suit  of  Laura 
Joyce  Taylor,  better  known  in  professional 
circles  as  Laura  Joyce,  against  J»aies  Valentine 
Taylor,  her  husband.  Since  the  hushin;;  of  tho 
Beacon  Hill  scandal,  no  ca.se  has  attracted  more 
attention  than  this,  and  the  disappoint- 
ment was  general  when  his  Honor  anntmnced 
that  the  _  trial  wtmld  be  postponed  till 
the  ression-of  the  court  next  Ohiober.  The 
merits  of  the  case,  so  far  as  can  be  learned  from 
the  libel  and  the  answer  thereto,  are  these  : 
The  T-aylors,  libellant  and  libellec,  were  mar- 
ried on  Jan.  1,  1S74,  and  after  living  some 
time  at  the  St.  James  Hotel,  in  this  city, 
moved  to  Cambridge,  where  ono  child 
was  born  to  them  on  Nov.  7,  1 874. 
Mrs.  Taylor,  iwho  is  a  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Dauncy-^Iaskell,  the  latter  a  public  reader  of 
some  no^e,  charges  that  her  husband,  at  various 
times,  cruelly  and  brutally  boat  and  abused  her; 
that  he  (Contracted  habits  of  gross  into.xicutioiu 
and  used  vile,  indecent,  and  profane  languiiire 
to  and  about  her.  The  libel  states  particularlv 
that :  I 

On  or  uibont  the  22d  of  .tannari-,  1^7r>.  nnd  short - 
h-  aft^r  the  birth  of  her  ^aid  child,  .said  Juim-s  V. 
Taylor,  without  provocation,  struck  your  libi-Iaut 
repeatedly  in  the  face,  threw  in  her  face  a  chi.ss  of 
gin.  and.  seizint;  her  violently  by  the  wrists,  wrcnrhe<l 
and  twi?^  her.  intiictinc  u,p<in  her  injurii-s  from

of  time  ;  janil  further,  and  also  withoiii  provo<-atiun. 
s.iid  Jnmes  V.  Tavlor.  on  or  about  esich  the  Hth.  -1st, 
and  23d  days  of  Jtme.  and  also  in  the  month  of  I)e- 
ceinher.  and  all  in  the  year  IST.^,  stru'-k.  Ix-at.  nnd

her  do^^m.  an'l  on  or  about  the  'J-lth  day,  <tf 
April.,  jA.  D..  1*S7*>.  threw  her  upon 
the  floor  and  jumped  xipon  her.  and 
upon  ^ivi^rs  other  oecasions  ditring  said  y<rarsl87"> 
and  IcJTlJ,  and  up  to  the  date  of  tillng'this  libel,  was 
guilty  of  extreme  cruelty  and  cruel  nn'i  abusive  trcnt- 
ment  to ,  her  upfm  the  several  occasions  aauicd 
or  referred  to,  and  upon  many  othi-rs,  usinri 
gross,,  pijofane.  vWf.  and  indei-t-nt  lant:u(ig«>  to 
iind  aboujt  her.  And  your  libelant  funh'T  shows 
that  i  saed  Jaint^s  V.  Taylor  ha',  durinu  ^.-xid 
years  \  V^lo  and  l-s"*"*.  nnd  up  to  Th«  dHtr 
of  flliils  tpis  libel,  habitually  carrifd  loaded  lircnnii.s 
upon  his  person,  and  kept  them  in  the  sUvpini:  mom 
DC'-upied  "hy  him  and  your  libelant,  withwhirhht^ 
has   repeatedly    rhrcatcni*d    your  libel.'int,    thereby 

f Hitting  her  in  jncat  Imdily  fear  and  terror  for  htT 
ifc.  .*>he  therefore,  prays  for  a  dcref  of  absolute 
divorpie  and  the  penn«nent  custody  of  her  iLiid,  an;l 
a  certain  sum  for  alimony  pendente  life." 

To  ihesft  charges  Mr.  Taylor  makes  a  general 
denial,  except  in  sn  far  as  iht.*  marriage  with 
libelant  and  the  birth  of  their  child  are  con- 
cerned. The  chief  objection  he  r:»isps  to  hi.-^ 
wife  is,  that  she  persisted  in  retaioiinr  her  con- 
nectidn  with  the  theatrical  proft-s-ion  in  viola- 
tion of  an  agreement  made  at  their  marriage. 
He  admiU  having  a  pistol  in  his  room,  which 
he  says  he  kept  there  with  the  knowledKc  and 
consent  <j»f  his  wifu  and  for  protection.  Thr- 
picture  be  draws  of  hi.-^  hom»5-life  at  the  *•  Elms,'' 
the  name  of  his  estate  in  Cambridge,  is  not  en- 
ticing.    He  says : 

*'  And  further  answerinj;,  tho  respondent  snys  that 
^laskell.  the  father  to  his  said  wife,  has,  8inF.*e  thw 
n-sporideiit's  raarririt:e,  been  very  intemperate  ;  that 
when  undler  tho  inlhionre  of  liquor  he  i.s  (luurrelsome, 
profatie,  ind  ahiwive.  and  at  sui?h  times  has  fre»[uenl' 
ly  insuUed  the  respondent  beyond  liis  power  of 
eudurani'e  :  that  In  the  encounters  whi^hhave  fob 
Kfwed;  his  wile  and  her  .said  mother  have  frequently 
interfered  to  put  an  end  to  the  qi:arre!.  and  if  his  saiJl 
wife  was  ever  struck  by  him.  it  hapjicned  on  such 
oc(?asions  and  wholly  without  such  intent  on  his 
paVt  ;  tha*  he  never  inicntionally  struck  his  saiil 
wife  »  sir  ele  blow,  and  ix  not  aware  of  ever  having 
struck  he::  ;it  all.  and  that  on  the  other  hand  Bho  ha-* 
at  times  rffered  and  attempted  lo  strike  and  s'-rntcli 
him.  and  aas  been  prevented  by  his  seisin;;  antl  hdhl- 
in;;;  her  haiids  and  wrists.  .Viid  further 
answerinii.  tlie  respondent  says  that  nt 
the  time  of  his  marriage  with  the  libelant,  she  was 
an  actress,  but  was  desirous,  as  she  professed,  to 
le.ivi  the  sta^d  altogether,  and  was  married  with  .the 
mutual  unflerstandinc  that  she  was  not-thereafter  to 
practice  her  profession  ;  that,  notwithstandinir,  she 
h.ts.  since  the  said  marnai;e.  made  and  performed 
several  theatrical  euL-np^ents.  the  respotident  re- 
luctantly yielJiiiff  to  her  .stroni^  wishes  in  the  mat- 
ter; that,  with  this  exception,  ho  has  never 
knowuigly  o'pposed  or  objected  to  anyihini; 
his  said  wife  thought  would  cfmtrihute 
to  her  happiness.  And  further  answering,  the 
respcudenl  ^a\'s  that  ho  has  reason  to  believe  that 
his  wife's  ftflections  have  become,  without  good 
cause,  alienated  from  him :  that  her  said  father. 
t:iking  adv.aiitape  of  that  fact,  as  well  a.s  of  her 
iiiclinatioh  towani  a  theatrical  career,  has  induced 
her  to  leave  respondent's  home  and  to  file  thi.s  lilx*! 
fordivorcjc,  the  pl.in  beini^  to  g^t  rid  of  the  respond- 
ent, bat  at  the  same  time  to  hold  on  as  far  as  possi- 
ble  to  his  [property.  And  the  respondent  says  that 
the  said  .'\laskell  has  for  a  year  or  more  before  tho 
fiiing  Of  this  biiil  been  in  the  habit  of  proclaimin::  his 
Diirpo.<!e  th  have  tho  libelant  divorced,  and  to  get  from 
her  a  large  share  of  the  respondent's  property." 

So  t?r  there  seems  to  be  no  chance  of  a  com- 
promise, [but  the  mutual  friends  of  both  are 
working  hard  to  keep  the  case  out  of  court,  and 
to-day's  j  postponement  seems  to  be  an  indica- 
tion tiiatJ  thev  are  on  the  road  to  success.

and  effective  resistance  offered  yesterday  by  40 
men  to  the  miob  in  this  city,  undoubtedly  saved 
Scranton  frop  a  similar  scene  to  that  witnessed 
in  Pittsburg,  and  so  terrified  the  roughs  and  the 
foolish  mem^ho  joined  them. that  thestrike  in  this 
region    is    almost  certain    to   be    settled  now, 
by  means  oihei-  than  that  of  violence    on  the 
part  o5  the  strikers.    The  citizen's  guard  was  a 
hastily-formpd  company  of  the  responsible  men 
of    this  place— merchants,  raantifacturers,  law- 
yers, and  other:  I.     They  were  on  the  alert  to  be 
sure,    and    sone    of     them    were    veterans    of 
the  rebelliot ,  and  knew  how  to  use  arms.  When 
suddenly  callen  upon  to  as.sist  the  Mayor,  they 
supposed  thfere  was  to  be  a  consultation  at  his 
office,    and   in   marching    alon;;    Lackawanna-

THE  REMAIXS  OF    GEX.    CUSTER, 


THE  ^OOY  PLACED  IN  A    RECEIVING  VAULT  AT 
I  POUGHKEEPSIE  UNTIL  OCTOBER. 

PoUGHKEEPSiE,  Aug.  2.— The  remains  of 
the  lamented  Gen.  Custer  arrived  in  this  city 
this  morning  by  the  Atlantic  express,  having 
left  Fort  lAbraham  Lincoln  eight  days  ago.  It 
was  intended  to  have  them  sent  directly 
to  West  Point.  Mrs.  Custer,  however, 
understanding  that  there  was  no  receiving 
vault  tbeire.  had  communication  with  Mr.  Phil- 
ip Hamilton,  of  this  city,  and  it  was  decided, 
through  Quartermaster  Miller,  of  We.st 
Points  and  Mr.  Hamilton,  that  the  remains 
of  the  distinguished  officer  should  find  a 
temxwrary  resting  place  in  the  receiving 
vaidt  pf  the  Poughkeepsie  Rural  Cemetery. 
The  body  arrived  here  in  charge  of  tho 
American  Express  Company,  the  casket  con- 
taining ^t  being  encased  in  a  strong  wooden 
box.  Oh  the  box,  in  the  handwriting  of  tho 
Post  Surgeon  at  Fort  Abraham  Lincoln,  and 
signed  by  him,  was  a  written  certitication  that 
the  remains  inclosed  were  those  of  Gen. 
Custer.  Early  in  the  morning.  Quartermas- 
ter Miller,  Philip  Hamilton,  and  one  or  two 
others  accompanied  the  remains  to  the  cemete- 
ry, anii  they  were  deposited  in  the  vault,  the 
Trustees  |of  the  cemetery  giving  cordial  assent. 
A  reporter  had  an  interview  with  Major-Gen. 
Schofifeldi,  in  command  of  the  West  Point  De- 
partmtenll,  at  the  General's  residence  on  West 
PointJ  at  8  o'clock  this  morning,  in  regard 
to  thb  future  disposition  of  the  remains. 
Gen.n  Sfchofield  stated  that  Mrs.  Custer 
arrived  at  West  Point  on  Tuesday  to  consult 
with  himl  in  relation  to  the  funeraL  They  took 
into  consideration  the  fact  that  at  this  particular 
time  many  of  the  officers  of  the  Post  are  away 
on  aj  ftirlough,  and  as  nearly  all  of  them 
were  |  oli  army  friends  of  the  late  Gen. 
Custer  it  was  deemed  wise  to  jK>stpone 
the  funeral  until  some  time  in  October. 
This  will  also  give  his  old  army  friends  abroad 
an  opportunity  to  beXpresent.  This  conclusion 
was  made  known  to  tne  intimate  friends  of  the 
family^  when  Mrs,  Custer  left  West  Point  for 
Kew-York.  In  the  meantime  the  body  will  re- 
main in  the  vatUt  of  the  Poughkeej;>sie  Cemeterv.

The  crowds  did  not  reassemble,  and  not  a  sound

When  Gent.|  Brinton  and  hig  force  arrived 
here  early  thi'S  nlorning  they  wore  received  with 
hospitality,  b^it  they  were  really  superfluous,  so 
far  a.s  the  n(|ceissity  for  force  in  this  city  was 
concerned.  TheJy  did  one  good  thing  in  the 
evening;  yesillwjo  good  things.  They  came  by 
way  of  the  Bloomipburg  Division  of  the  Delaware, 
Lackawanna  a.n<<;  Western  Road,  and  thus  sud- 
denly opencditihetiway  for  passenger  travel,  where 
it  had  been  suspended  fo:  a  week,  and  trains 
have  been  riinrijing  to-dav  on  about  schedule 
time.  The  sQcoii|d  good  thing  accomplished  was 
the  capture  oil  the  way  of  a  gan^  of  nearly  100 
dangerous  villlaiiiis,  who  thought  it  safe  to  tear 
up  the  tracksjat  J^vondalo  and  so  delay  the  pas- 
„.,_ .  ._-L —  Thehowlingmobsawthe train 
and  loudly  expressed  delight, 
the  Twentieth  Regiment,  or- 
dered out  Carit.  j^rv  with  his  company,  and  be- 
fore the  traclK|-bi|eaker3  had  time  to  nin  th^y 
had  captured  j  a  I  large  number  of 
them.  Haying  shown  a  fair  share  of 
familiarity  i  wi  :h  railroad  work,  they 
were  made  toieat  humble  pie  by  replacing  the 
rails  they  had  ^oiin  up,  and  this  morning  they 
came  into  Scrtintion,  a  whole  car  load  of  them, 
under  close;  guaiji,  the  blinds  of  the  cars  hiding 
them  from  the  4yes  of  the  outside  multitude. 
These  men  i  I  wjere  confined  all  day  in 
an  upper  flo6r  (|f  the  Second  NationarBank 
building,  and ;  to-jiight  iwere  sent  up  to  Wilkes- 
barre  to  be  dealij  with  according  to  law.  The 
Militia  who  camoj  here  were  the  same  who  were 
so  inhospitably  treated  in  Pittshur^. 
—the  EiKnt*?enth  Division — and  they  were 
accompanied  !  byj  350  regulars.  AVhen  the 
Slilitia  left  Philadelphia,  more  than  two  weeks 
ago,  they  were  oflly  TOO  strong,  they  now  num- 
ber about  1,|?00,  ana:  tho  force  liere  is  fully 
2,000.  The  |'j*bpys"  are  bronzed  by  exposure, 
and  somewhat  fagged  for  want  of  regular  sleep, 
but  they  are  f till  |pf  vim,  and  ready  for  good  ser- 
vice. ]      il 

The  streets  in  ekery  direction  were  filled  with 
armed  men  until  ^iftemoon,  when  two  regiments 
were  marched!  to  jthe  suburbs  to  camp,  and  the 
rest  were  quartered  wherever  places  could  be 
found  for  them  iii  the  city.  Major-Gen.  Brinton 
and  Staff  ha^eji  their;  head-quarters  at  the 
Wyoming  Hoiiike,!(where  there  is  constant  coming 
and  going  of  'pud|s.  Sentries  are  at  the  doors 
and  in  the  haUs  ;  j  colors  are  displayed  from  the 
balcony,  and  tiierie  are  always  a  score  or  more 
of  militiamen  |iu  fatigue  above  the  porch.  Tho 
Weccacoe  Le|gioii  brdught  the  Gatling  gun 
which  causedj  so  inuch  comment  at  Pittsburg, 
and  the  car  they  cande  in  was  inscribed  in 
chalk,  '*  Weccacoe  liegion— Round-house,"  in 
large  letters. 

A  curious  dfcuinstance  obserrable  to-day  on 
the  almost     entire  absence

stop  with  gr(*at 
Col.   Bonafori.of 


the   streets    was 


u^MiiNtibftMi^iMifiiiliiMM 


from  the  streets  of  the  miners  who  had  been 
so  turbulent.  There  were  crowds  of  shopmen 
about,  but  they  generally  spoke  for  law  and 
order,  and  the  prospect  of  going  to  work  to- 
morrow was  referred  to  by  them  with 
unmistakable  satisfaction.  The  shopmen 
of  the  Delaware,  Lackawana  and  Western 
were  driven  from  their  work  yesterday,  and 
their  tools  thrown  from  the  shop  windows,  and 
they  are  as  loud  in  their  denunciation  of  tho 
mob  as  anybody.;  The  Lackawanna  Coal  and 
Iron  Company  will  put  many  of  its  employes  at 
work  again  to-morrow,  and  it  is  probable  that 
the  Dickson  shops  ^'111  also  resume  busi- 
ness. The  strike  among  the  miners  is 
an  after  thought.  When  the  Pittsburg 
strike  occurred  the  feeling  of  resistance  was 
aroused  here  against  reduction.  The  mill  men, 
in  some  instances,  went  out  when  the  Delaware, 
Lackawa'nna  and  We.stem  men  '  struck.  Tho 
stoppage  of  the  railroad  made  it  necessary  to 
stop  mining,  as  there  were  no  cars  in  which 
to  load  tho  coal  for  transportation. 
A  good  chance  occurred  for  a  coal 
strike,  and  it  took  place,  and  the  constautly 
ffTOwing  body  of  strikers  used  its  power  of 
moral  suasion  as  often  and  sternly  as  it  could. 
I  am  assured  by  a  man  well  acqmiinted  with  tho 
mining  population  here,  himself  ;t  retired 
miner,  that  not  one-third  of  the  men  are  in 
favor  of  a  strike,  but  they  are  overawed  aud 
controlled  by  a  small  but  tjTaTiuous  few,  who 
are  principally  youne:  and  unmarried,  without 
judgment  or  responsildiity,  and  too  often  with 
much  more  than  enough  of  tho  spirit  of  **  Molly 
Maguire." 

A  meeting  was  held  this  afternoon,  at  which 
Mr.  Georiie  Sanderson  presided,  which  fully 
indorsed  the  action  of  tho  Citizens'  Guard  ye.s- 
terday,  and  pledged  the  assistjince  of  prominent 
men  in  all  future  protective  movements.  The 
guard  was  incfease<l  to  500  men,  who  are  to  be 
ready  for  action  at  a  moments  notice.  The 
apologetic  tone  of  the  local  press  in  its  allusions 
to  the  mob  were  severely  couderaned  as  having 
a  mischievous  tendency. 

Mayor  McKune  is  still  suffering  from  his  in- 
juries, but  is  doing  well. 

The  Twentieth  Regiment,  Col.  Bonofon,  has 
gfino  by  special  train  t-#  Plymouth.  Reports 
have  been  received  here  tliat  a  mililar}-  train. 
carrying  rioters  as  prisoners,  has  been  attacked 
at  that  place,  and  that  the  tracks  have  been 
torn  up  to  delay  tho  train.  Adjt.-Oen.  Crom- 
raelin,  of  Gen.  Brinton's  ^^tafr.  declares  that  ho 
knows  of  no  disturbance,  but  the  belief  is  strong 
that  only  a  great  emergency  would  call  the  reg- 
ulars away  at  this  hour.

WiLKESBARRE,  Pcnu.,  Aug,  2. — Gov. 
Hartranft  returned  from  Scranton,  where  ho 
went  this  afternoon,  to  Kingston,  and  has  his 
head-quarters  there.  Gen.  Brinton's  corn 
mand  took  over  tJO  of  the  strikers  prison- 
ers on  his  way  to  Scranton  from  Nanti- 
coke,  and  to-night  they  were  brought  here 
under  the  escort  of  four  companies  and  lodsed 
in  the  county  prison.  Three  of  these  companies 
were  sent  on  to  Pl\-mouth.  four  miles  further, 
where  the  railroad  ha<l  been  barricaded 
and  tho  track  torn  up.  The  strikers  and 
idlers  there  are  turbulent,  and  collect 
in  crowds  of  ii.OOO  and  ujtward 
aniund  the  depot.  The  military  will  be  stationed 
there  for  some  days.  The  day  has  been  quiet 
in  Wilkesbarre,  scarcely  any  strikers  being  seen 
around  the  Valley  Depot,  as  no  atteinpt.s 
were  made  to  run  any  trains.  Superin- 
tendent Mitchell,  of  the  Wyoming  Division, 
to-day  notified  ^layor  Loomis  that  all  peaceable 
attempts  to  run  trains  had  failed,  and  called 
upon  him  to  take  the  necessary  steps  to  prc'tect 
the  company.  The  Mayor  has  conferred 
with  the  military  authorities,  and  to-morrow 
an  attemot  will  be  made  to  start  all 
trai  ns  on  that  road.  Th  e  stri  kers  feel 
desperate.  Gen.  McCartney  gave  notice  that 
he  would  to-<lay  distribute  1 .000  loaves  of  bread 
among  the  destitute  families,  but  was  notified 
that  if  he  attempted  it  the  bread  would  be  ib*- 
stroyed  and  he  wouUl  be  harmed,  so  he  was 
obliged  to  abandon  the  project 

Mavch  Chunk.  Penn..  Aug.  2. — ^The  Lehigh 
Valley  Railroad  Company  did  not  try  to  run  any 
trains  on  its  main  line  north  of  Penu  llaveii 
Junction  to-day.  At  a  meeting  of  the  miners 
of  Audenried.  Jeansville,  Hazleton.  and  vicinity 
to-day  it  was  decided  not  to  stop  work,  but  to 
begin  as  soon  as  the  railroad  company  could 
furnish  cars.

a  train  consisting  of  an  engine  and  one  car,  the 
latter  containing  50  men  en  route  for  Mahanoy 
City,  was  badly  wrecked  near  Taniariua.  Tin* 
train  was  in  collision  with  a  construction  train. 
nnd  theengine  was  thrown  from  an  embankment. 
(Vtl.  Wynkoop,  who  commanded  the  party,  was 
slightly  hruised.  but  the  otiiers  escaped  unhurt. 
At  a  meeting  of  the  miners  employed  at  the  pri- 
vate t'olliery  at  Shenandoah  this  afternoon,  it 
was  decided  to  hold  out  until  their  demands 
wf-re  acceded  to.  At  the  present  market  price 
of  coal  there  is  no  likelihood  of  their  obtaining 
the  increase.

appointed  by  the  striking  trainmen  of 
this  division  of  the  Lehigh  Valley  Rail- 
road, at  their  meeting  last  niffht,  waited  upon 
Superintendent  Clark  to-day.  Mr.  Clark  refused 
to  receive  them  as  a  comniittee,  but  intiraateil 
that  he  was  ready  to  consider  the  application  of 
any  man  who  desired  employment  under  the 
company!  The  result  was  that  nearly  all  of 
them  were  re-engaged  at  the  old  rate  of  wages, 
and  all  the  regular  freight  and  pa.ssenger  trains 
resumed  their  trips  this  morning.  Work  at 
most  of  the  collieries  in  this  vicinity  will  be  re-

Bethlehem,  Penn.,  Aug.  2. — Trains  between 
Kew-York  and  Penn  Haven  Junction  on  the

Special  I>upafcA  to  (he  yew-Yorb  Time». 

Cleveland,  Ohio,  Aug.  2. — A  committee 
from  the  strikers  at  Collinwood  agreed  with 
General  Jlanager  Newell,  of  the  Lake  Shore 
Road,  to-day  upon  the  following  terms  for  a  re- 
sumption of  work :  The  company  in  the  future 
will  listen  to  and  adjust  if  possible  all  griev- 
ances of  the  employes;  while  engines 
are  in  the  shops  for  repairs  the 
men  may  go  to  their  homes,  or  if 
necessarilj'  detained  at  the  shop  shall  be 
paid  for  their  time ;  men  shall  be  paid  full  time 
for  aU  delays  over  two  hours  upon  side  tracks ; 
when  freight  is  stolen  from  cars,  the  case  ^all 
be  investigated,  and  the  conductor  and  brake- 
men  not  made  to  pay  therefor  unless  found 
guilty  of  negligence ;  the  10  per  cent,  cut  shall 
not  be  yestored  at  pre.sent,  but  wages  increased 
when  business  will  nermit.    This  result  was  ob- 


tained by  a  ballot  taken  in  a  large  open  field, 
which  resulted  96  for  work  to  33  against  it. 
It  was  received  with  shouts  of  joy.  The  coup- 
ling pins  were  immediately  hunted  up,  and  the 
general  Manager  informed  that  the  men  were 
awaiting  his  orders.  Regular  work  will  be  re- 
sumed to-morrow. 

Toledo,  Ohio,  Aug.  2.— The  citizen  mllitaTTr 
and  the  Police  turned  out  in  strong  force  this 
morning,  and  made  a  raid  upon  the  freight 
blocka<lers  on  the  Lake  Shore  and  Michiean 
Southern  Railroad  at  this  point,  and  under  their 
protection  trains  are  being  started  out  in  all 
directions.

TRAINS  MOVING  WITH  MILITART  GUARDS — 
DISPERSION  OP  A  BUSHWHACKIXQ  MOB 
FROM  THE  HILLS  —  THE  CUMBERLAND 
COAL-MINERS. 

Spfeial  Digpatch  to  tV  yew-York  Timet. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  2. — Advices  at 
Camden  Station  to-night  report  that  the  only 
point  of  dudurbance  along  the  line  of  the  Balti- 
more and  Ohio  Road  is  at  Bellaire,  the  oa-stern 
terminus  of  the  Central  Ohio  Division.  Trains 
from  Columbus  arrived  this  forenoon  under  a 
guard  of  soldiers  without  being  interfered  with. 
After  the  troops  had  brougfht  the  trains  in, 
t  hey  started  to  return  to  Columbus,  and 
.soon  after  they  left  tho  trains  were 
attacked  by  a  mob,  and  prevented 
-from  crossing  the  Ohio  River  Bridge 
iarthe  main  stem  on  this  side.  No  violence  was 
done,  but  the  trainmen  were  hindered  by  threats 
from  doing  their  dutj-.  The  soldiers  were  re- 
called bv  telegraph,  and  were  back  at  Bellaire 
this  afternoon,  and  trains  will  be  moved  over 
tho  bridge  to-night  under  their  protection. 
The  trouble  at  Bellaire  was  not  caused  by  rail- 
road men,  but  bv  a  crowd  of  the  rabble 
and  tramps  that  had  collected  from  the  sur- 
rounding country,  and  which  quickly  dispersed 
on  the  return  of  the  troops.  Tliere  was  no 
more  bushwhacking  of  trains  to-day  on  the 
Mountain  Division,  between  Key.ser  and  Graf- 
ton. Detachments  of  regulars  were  placed  in 
the  dangerous  localities,  aud  the  bushwhackers 
appear  to  have  retired  to  their  holes  in  the  hills. 
The  adjoume<l  meeting  of  the  miners  was 
held  at  Cumberland  to-day  to  decide  the  ques- 
tion of  striking  for  higher  wages.  The  variou.s 
mines  were  represented  by  54  delegates,  of 
whom  31  voted  to  demand  an  increase  of  pav 
to  ."1.5  cents  per  ton,  and  2.3  to  work  for  50 
cents,  which  la  the  present  figure.  The 
decision  of  the  majority  -will  be  presented 
to  the  coal  companies  to-morrow  as  the  ulti- 
matum of  the  men.  As  they  first  demande<i  05 
cents,  they  are  regarded  as  now  endeavoring  to 
make  a  compromise  with  the  companies,  but  un- 
less the  canal  consents  to  reduce  the  rates  of 
c:trriage  toshipi>ers,  and  shippers  increase  the 
l>:iy  of  boatmen,  no  concession  can  be  made 
to  the  miners.  President  Gorman,  of  the  Ches- 
ujieake  and  Ohio  Canab  says  that  he  cannot 
afford  to  charge  the  shippers  less  per  boat,  and 
the  shippers  say  that  unless  he  doe.s  they  can 
offer  no  more  favorable  terms  than  the  existing 
ones  to  the  miners  or  the  boatmen.  The  latter 
have  been  on-a  strike  for  two  nionths  past,  and 
business  in  the  Cumberland  coal  region  is 
nearly  at  a  standstill.  There  are  6,000  miners, 
of  whom  not  .500  are  at  work,  and  nearly  600 
boats  locked  up  on  the  canal. 


THE  BALTIMORE  RIOT  IXQUEST. 

CONCLUSION  OP    THE    TESTIMONY — THE  POW- 

EB.S  OP  A  coroner's  JURY  EXPLAINED. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  2. — The  jury  in- 
quiring into  the  cause  of  the  riot  reassembled 
at  10  o'clock  this  morning,  when  Mr.  Dean. 
foreman  of  the  jury,  asked  for  the  reading:  of 
the  oath  of  the  jur}*,  as  he  had  some  doubt 
whether  they  had  a  right  to  stop  the  inquiry 
until  all  the  testimony  obtainable  was  exhaust^ii. 
He  desired  the  opinion  of  the  State's  officers  on 
Thn  subject.  He  did  not  feel  disposed  to  take 
any  responsibility,  and  would  not  consent  to 
stop  the  testimony  while  there  was  testi- 
mony which  could  be  had.  W.  C.  H. 
( 'arr.  Assistant  District  Attorney,  renlied 
thai  a  Coroner's  jury  was  like  a  court.  It  fre- 
quently occurred  that  the  Judge  stopped  testi- 
mony 'when  it  was  cumulative.  If  the  court 
was  satisfied  that  it  had  heard  enough  to  under- 
stand snfiicient  facts,  it  stopped  the  piling  up 
of  testimony. ,  If  the  Coroner's  jury  was  sati.s- 
lied  that  they  had  heard  enough  testimony  to 
Iind  a  verdict,  they  could  do  the  same.  If  any 
juror  was  dissatisfied,  be  had  the  right  to  hear 
testimony  to  satisfy  himself.  It  was  not  neces- 
sary, any  more  before  a  Coroner's  jury  than  h*f- 
fore  a  court,  to  hear  any  more  testimony  than 
they  might  detmi  necessary.  They  were  re- 
iiuested  to  inquire  into  the  canse  of  death,  and 
it  was  not  necessary  to  find  out  who  diil  the 
killint;.  but  that  it  was  done  by  some  person 
unknown.  If  they  thought  any  company  was 
to  blame  they  could  sav  so,  aud  whether  it  was 
liy  ofiicuU  order  or  otherwi.se  ;  or,  if  an  indi- 
vidual was  determined  upon  as  hn-ing  done  the 
killing,  the  jury  could  say  whether  it  was  <lone 
in  sclf-ilefense  or  otherwise. 

'rtie  Coroner  said  that  in  a  c&se  of  this  kind 
the  jury  and  notJthe  Coroner  was  the  court,  and 
ujion  the  jury  tho  resptmsibility  would  rest. 
He  was  T^-illing  to  go  on  and  make  the  Inquiry 
exhaustive.  In  such  a  case  no  juror  should 
c<msider  his  own  convenience. 

Mr.  Dean  s-iid  he  would  abide  the  decision  of 
the  JTin,-.  but  he  would  place  him.self  right  on 
the  record. 

A  motion  was  then  made  to  reconsider  the 
resolution  of  yesterday  to  suspend  the  taking  of 
testimony,  which  was  rejected  by  a  vote  of  veas 
2.  nays  10.  A  communication  was  received 
fnun  the  phonographer  stating  that  the  report 
uf  the  testimonv  would  make  400  pages  of 
manuscript,  and  he  would  transcribe  it  as  rap- 
idly as  pos.sible.  Mr.  Van  Verson,  one  of  the 
jury,  asked  that  the  jury  at  once  make  up  their 
venlict  without  reference  to  the  report  of  the 
phon< (graph er,  which  was  not  seconded. 

Adjourned  to  10  o'clock  to-morrow  morning. 

XOTES  OF  THE  STRIKE, 


MB.  JAY  GOULD  ASSAULTED. 


CoLoiBUS,  Ohio,  Aug.  2.— An  attempt 
was  made  to  ditch  the  Pan  Handle  express  train 
from  tho  East,  due  here  at  12:55  this  morning, 
near  Granville,  Ohio.  Some  ties  and  an 
iron  rail  were  fastened  to  the  track, 
but  the  pilot  of  the  engine  threw 
most  of  the  obstructions  to  one  side.  One  of 
the  ties  struck  a  truck  and  threw  it  from  the 
track,  but  no  serious  damage  resulted.  The  at- 
tempt is  believed  to  have  been  the  work  of 
tramps  bent  on  plunder.  The  .soldiers  are  still 
quartered  in  tho  Union  Depot  here,  andt  all  is 
quiet. 

St.  Lens.  Mo.^  Aug.  2.— Judge  Cady,  in  the 
Court  of  Criminal  Correction,  has  decided  upon 
.*3.000  as  a  bond  necessary  to  release  menibers 
of  the  Working  Men's  Party  against  whom  war- 
rants have  been  issued.  It  is  not  probable  that 
they  can  procure  so  much  bail,  and  they 
will  thereforo  remain  in  jail.  The  coal 
miners  of  St.  Clair  and  Madison  Coun- 
ties, 111.,  have  reconsidered  their  de- 
mand of  -i  cents  per  bushel  for  digging 
coal,  and  have  reduced  the  price  to  3  cent-s 
with  a  guarantee  from  the  mine  owners  that 
that  rate  shall  stand  one  year.  The  owners  ac- 
cepted the  3  cents  rate,  but  refused  to  guaran- 
tee, whereupon  many  of  the  miners  resumed 
work  at  that  rate,  without  guarantee,  and  it  is 
believed  all  of  them  will  return  to  work  in  a 
day  or  two.  

A  RELIC  OF  THE  RE3ELLI0X. 

Richmond,  Va.,  Aug.  2 — Judge  Hughes, 
of  the  United  States  Circuit  Court,  decided,  in 
effect,  to-day  that  the  gold  from,  the  Virginia 
Treasury  which  the  State  of&clals  distributed 
among  themselves  on  the  eve  of  the  evacuation 
of  Richmond  was  the  property  of  the  United 
States  Government,  ana  that  the  action  brought 
against  said  officials  by  the  U^nited'  States  Gov- 
ernment can  be  maintained  in  his  court.  The 
amount  involved  is  about  $25,000.  The  case 
will  be  carried  to  the  Supreme  Court.

Jay  Gould  was  assaulted,  shortly  before  noon 
yesterday,  by  Major  A  A.  S^'lover.  a  well-known 
operator  on  W.-dl-stroct,  Tlie  affray  occurred  in  Ex- 
change-place, just  below  New-street.  The  place  is 
one  at  which  a  weak  person  could  with  difficulty 
escape  harm  if  assailed  by  one  of  superior  etrenfith- 
The  roadway  is  narrow  .ind  filled  with  holes,  ttio 
sidewalks  are  mere  ledces,  not  more  th»n 
two  feet  wide,  and  steep  cellnrs  and  ar«*as.  opening 
from  the  walks,  aro  mere  pitfalls  for  the  dlscomtirura 
of  the  stricken  and  the  advantage  of  the  assailnnt. 
One  of  these  areas  came  ue^r  being  disastrous  to  Jiy 
Gould  yesterday.  Th©  encounter  helwecn  the  re- 
nowned stock  operator  and  Major  S**lover  hap;M>n»iJ 
in  this  wise,  arcordin^  to  the  acconutJi  of  Kp«ctator»  : 
About  ll^j."*  o'clock  Mr.  <ioiild  turned  out  <>(  Broad- 
Street  and  walked  up  on  the  right-hand  side  of  Ex- 
change-place. Just  before  reaching  tho  comer  of 
New-street,  where  a  new  b:iilding  is  bein^  erectM,  hg 
turned  to  the  left  and  weut  into  the  roadwav, 
.In^nding  to  pa.<«  aronnd  the  base  of  some  scaffold- 
ing and  several  piles  of  rubbish  that  encuml>ered  the, 
the  right-hand  sidewalk.  At  the  .sjim«  time  Majot 
fcielover  was  walking  down  Eschange-place  on  tl-jo 
left-hand  wdo.  As  s<»on  as  he  iwiw  Mr.  Gould  aa 
walked  over  to  and  stopped  him  in  tho  madway.  ;  A 
very  few  words  passed  between  the  two  brokjBrs. 
Selover  said,  "I'll  teach  you  what  it  is  to  tell  .mo 
lies."  and  grasped  Gould  by  the  lappcls  of  his  coat 
and  shook  him.  To  steady  himself,  (rould  t.>ok,hoM 
of  his  assailant's  co.it,  and  a  "short  struac;!*  took 
place.  Relea-sing  his  right  hand,  !<fIover  dealc 
his  little  opponent  what  would  have  been  a 
terrible  blow  but  for  the  fact  that  (iould  turned  his 
head,  and  the  fist  of  his  assailant  clanced  along  tho 
upper  part  of  his  left  cheek.  The  Major  then  pushed 
his  slight  antagoutst  out  of  tlie  narrow  roa^-ay  and. 
across  tho  bit  of  sidewalk.  On  the  way  he  striii'K 
him  several  times  on  the  chest.  \VhUe  l>ac£ing  aud 
endeavoring  to  ward  off  Selover  s  blows,  Gi>iild 
stumbled  and  fell  upon  the  stoop  of  Ko.  65  £i. 
change-place.  The  Major,  it  seems,  did  not  atst  a^ 
a  gallant  gentleman.  According  lo  the  statcmejit  of 
Mr.  P.  F.  ilotlelay.  he  struck  Mr.  <xould  while 
he  was  do^'u,  and  with  so  much  vigor 
that  tho  fallen  man,  In  his  struggles 
to  save  his  face,  pat  his  h»*ad  through 
a  space  in  the  fence  that  guards  the  mouth  of  a  deep 
area  through  which  a  barber  sboj*  in  tho  I>asement  ot 
No.  65  Erchange-place  derives  li::ht.  This  aroa  is 
about  eight  feel  deep,  two  and  a  half  feet  wide,  and 
30  feet  long.  That  part  over  which  Mr.  Gould  hung 
while  the  Major  beat  hkn  is  inclosed  in  front  by  a 
railing  three  feet  high.  Its  upper  side  is  formed  by 
the  stoop  leading  into  the  office  of  Lavaaburgh  Sb 
Brothers,  on  which  ilr.  Gould  lay.  Its  lower  side  ii 
made  by  a  steep  flight  of  steps  runnia?  down  to  the 
barber-shop  of  Prod  Wagner.  How.  <;ould  got  his 
head  out  of  the  fence,  and  arose  to  hiii  feet,  no  on» 
seems  to  know. 

WRKSTLING  ON  THE  SIDEWALK- 
Tbe  next  occurrence  in  the  straggle  noted  by  ths 
bj-standers  was  that  Selover  and  (iould  were  wresi- 
Ung  on  the  sidewalk.  Gould's  efforts  were  weak, 
and  his  antagonist  soon  bad  him  jammM  aj^ainst  the 
front  railing,  where  he  shook  him  roua^ly.  After 
this  the  Major  bent  his  diminutive  enemy  backward 
so  that  his- feet  left  the  ground,  and  bis  head  fell 
against  the  f rout  uf  the  house.  In  this  position  his 
body  bridged  the  chasm,  which  threatened  to  hm 
bloody.  Gould  tried  hard  to  get  his  f^et  upon 
the  ground,  but  in  his  coii\idsive  strug- 
gles made  his  situation  ^  worsw  by  throwing 
one  of  his  l<^s  over  the  railing  so  that  it  dangled  into 
the  area  .ind  beat  against  the  wir>*  lattice  that  pro- 
tected one  of  the  windows  of  tho  barber  shop.  Ijc 
the  meantime  a  crowd  had  gathered  around  the  burly 
Selover  and  his  little  victun,  hut  no  onw  inierfen*d  xn 
prt'veirt  what  might  have  ended  ia  murder.  Seloree 
continued  to  press  Gould  down,  and  boon  had  liii 
head  against  tlie  wiudow-lHttice.  Then,  holdmghia 
^'ith  *«ie  hand,  ho  used  the  other  to  throw  tiould'i 
second  le»g  into  the  ni«<uth  of  tho  area 
Gould  rhitcbod  Selov<?r's  right  arm  with 
both  hands,  and  made  an  effort  to  secure  a  £ootholc 
upou  a  cornice  that  runs  along  the  interitu 
of  the  moutli  of  the  ar»-a.  Failing  in  this 
attempt,  he  hung  limply  friicu  the  lefs 
hand  of  Selover,  which  finiily  cra.'^H'd  Th«* 
collar  of  his  coat.  Tlio  struggle  liad  fhuK  far  ber-n 
too  intense  for  either  antagonist  U>  spent  loudly.' 
When  Gould  hung  helpless.  Selover  gave  vent  t.o  his 
wrath  in  words-  liis  first  audibk*  utteiSji(*e  was  :,, 
"  Gould,  you  are  a  d— — bar."  To  this  *iould  re- 
sponded, in  a  feeble  voi'-e  :  "  I  am  not  a  liar." 
Having  said  thi-s  he  found  strength  to  cry 
piteoualy,  ';  Won't  somebody  take  ihtK  man  away! 
lie  will  murder  me  I'  Mr.  1*.  F.  Mottelav  moved 'in 
response  to  this  apx>eal.  He  to<^k  bold  of  Guuld-'s 
arm  and  tried  to-draw  him  out  of  the  pit.  Selover 
stopped  his  efforts  by  breasting  htm  roughly  to  one 
side.  The,  Major  now  raisei  his  disengaged h»n<3, 
and.  saying  *•  Goultl,  you  arc  n  linr."  brought  il  down  ■ 
with  force,  several  times,  uwu  the  head  of  the  man 
he  was  almost  strangling.  He  endeavored  to  strike 
(Jould  in  the  face,  but  the  latter  squirmed,  and  hid  " 
liis  countenance  in  the  folds  of  his  coat  which  waa 
drawn  above  his  head. 

HOLDtNO  HIS  VICTIM  OVER  TITr.  AREA. 
The  great,  big.  burly  Selover  continued  to  hold  his 
victim  over  the  area,  andshoweredblowsand  epithets 
ui>on  him  with  impartial  hbendity.  One  blow  that  ho 
delivered  knocked  Gt'uid  against  the  side  of  the  house 
■with  so  much  ft)rce  that  a  b-tttle,  rontJiinins  brandy, 
was  tliro^vii  from  a  shelf  in  the  saloon  adjoittin^  iho 
barber-shop  to  tho  floor  and  bn-tken.  This  in- 
cident caused  tho  sjiloon -keeper  to  cnrtra 
both  Gould  and  Selover.  ^"hile  he  held  him 
up  Selover  appUed  other  epithets  than  '"liar"  to 
Gould.  He  spoke  iuto  the  mouth  of  the  area,  how- 
ever, and  only  Gould  and  Fred.  \Vagner,  the  barber, 
who  wras  gazuig  upward  at  him  and  Lis  victim.  heaTii 
them.  Mr.  Wagner  refused  yesterd.'iy  afternoon  tc 
repeat  the  epithets.  He  merely  implied  that  thej 
were  of  too  profane  a  character  to  pass  his  lips. 
This  speaks  badly  for  the  sanctity  of  Mojot 
Selover,  who  is  said  to  have  been  a  working  Cliris> 
ian  when  he  was  prosperous  on  "the  street,''  and  7% 
fellow-vestryman  of  Kufus  Hatch  in  Christ  Clnir-  Ai. 
"While  the  Major  aplu'ld  Ht.  Gould — not  a  hard  1  Asb 
for  him,  as  Gould  -mly  weiirbs  110  jKjunds.  wjhile 
Selover  turns  the  si-ales  at  230 — u\j  one  vent  ar»>«l 
near  him.  Finally,  a  colored  boy,  employi=4  i>y 
the  barber,  ran  up  from  the  basemen  i  and 
shouted.  The  advent  of  this  youth  njipareuT  iy  star- 
tled Selovor.  for  as  .*;ooii  as  the  shout  was  iiI  (vred  he 
let  Mr.  (jkmld  falL  The  descent  was  about  six  feeu 
(i^uld  struck  upon  his  feet  aad  then  fell  from  ex- 
haostlon.  Recovering  quickly  ho  ran  t»  a  win-» 
dow  which  Fred  Wagner  opened  fon  him.  and 
stepped  h»to  the  barber-shop.  Ho  was  i»a!Iid.- 
and  so  weak  that  he  CMuid  not  talk.  Th»l 
barber  cared  f"r  him  as  quickly  am 
twssible,  and  he  was  soon  strong  enough  to  walld 
easily.  The  nv'iJdened  Major  made  no  attempt  loi 
follow  Gould  into  the  basement.  He  rcimained  for  « 
few  sei'oiids  looking  into  the  area  into  which  he  had 
so  ruthlessly  dropped  his  victim,  and.  then,  at  tba 
solicitation  of  Bome  friends,  -who  were  afmid  ha 
would  be  arrested,  he  walked  up  to  Broadway,  whera 
lie  went  into  the  office  of  Shirley  &  l>unham,  brrik- 
ers,  of  which  firm  he  is  said  to  w  a  special  partner. ' 

OOUL.D  OS  HIS  •WAY  TO  HIS  OFFICE. 

Mr.  Gould  remained  quietly  in  the  barber-shop  for 
about  five  minutes.  He  then  said  tremulously.  "Is 
that  man  gone  i  "  Upon  being  assured  that  Selover 
had  departed  from  the  eceDo  of  his  victory,  he  went 
op  the  steps  into  Exchange-place.  He  wis  imm'-di- 
ately  surrounded  by  a  mob.  At  this  mo- 
ment Mr.  George  Crouch  walked  ^through 
the  crowd  and  anked  him  what  ^ad  hap- 
pened-He  replied :  "Seloverhasassanltedme;  but.'' 
with  a  sigh  of  great  relief.  *'  I  guess  it  is  all  over." 
At  his  request  Mr.  Crouch  walked  witli  hj^fn  to  the 
office  of  the  Union  Pacific  Railway  Companv.  No. 
23  Nassau-street.  On  the  way.  Gould  said  that 
Selover  had  approached  him  in  an  apparently  friend- 
ly manner,  aftd,  ^fter  some  tuiimportant  conversa- 
non,  had  suddenly  struck  him.  There  wei«  no 
marks  upon  his  face,  but  the  top  of  his  bead  must 
have  been  liruised  by^  the  powerful  blows  which 
Selover  dealt  him.  His  watch-chain  was  broken 
during  the  stm^le  upon  the  sidewalk,  and  soma 
small  articles  of  jewelry,  a  gold  pen  and 
pencil,  &C.,  had  faUen'  from  ^Is  pockets. 
Parts  of  the  chain  and  all  the  other 
valuables  were  found  in  the  street  by  the  bar- 
ber's colored  apprentice,  and  were  returned  to  Mr. 
Gotdd.  After  a  short  stay  in  the  office  of  the  Union 
Pacific  Eailwav  Companv.  Mr.  Gould  went  to  that  of 
Mr.  W.  W.  Belden,  Xo.  78  Broadway.  There  ho 
made  a  detailed  statement  of  the  affray,  after  which. 
he  started  for  Irvingtou-oa-the-Hudson.  He  avoided  -^ 
all  but  his  intinuite  friends,  and  c^n.'^equentJy  no  t^  \ 
porters  had  the  opportunity  to  conviirse  with  him. 
GOtTLD'S  AOCOITKT  OF  THE  FEaCA*. 

A  gentleman  in  the  office  of  Mr.  Belden,  who.  hr 
the  way,  is  said  to  be  a  partner  of.  Sir.  Gould,  told  »

oH  boyf  He  then  took  me  by  the  hand  and  said, 
'Come  into  the  office  and  have  a  chat*  I  replied, 
*I  can't  go  to-day;  I  am  moving  my  fam- 
ily np  to  Irrington  on  the  Hudson,  and 
most  go  np  soon.  'Well,'  said  Selover. 
•  Come  in  to-morrow  and  take  Innch.'  I  agreed 
to  do  so,  and  wna  abont  to  take  leave  of  him,  when 

he  said  snddenlv.  '  d ycm,  I'll  brain  yon !'     I  was 

BO  astonished  I  did  not  know  what  to  do.  He  then 
Ktmck  me  and  pushed  me  over  a  railinc  into  an  area 
in  front  of  a  barber  shop."  The  gentleman,  in  Hr. 
Belden's  office  followed  np  the  above  statement, 
which  had  been  given  him  by  Mr.  Gonld, 
with  another  on  his  own  account.  He  said : 
"TherewaanocauseforSelover'seondact.  Mt.Qcnald 
has  been  very  kind  and  generous  in  his  treatment  of 
him.  He  has  advanced  money  to  help  him  ont  of 
difilcnities,  and  aided  him  in  this  manner  only  a«h6ft 
time  ngo.  At  one  time  Selover  went  to  him  with 
tears  in  his  eyes  and  said  he  was  in  great  trouble 
finanrialty.  Mx.  Gould  then  assisted  hhn.  Hr.  Bel- 
den,  I  know,  also  aided  Selover.  Once  he  gave  him 
a.c  a  lonn  $5,00O.  and  at  another  time 
S2.5no.  It  is  only  a  abort  period  since 
Selover  paid  those  advances. "  When  the 
reporter  questioned  his  informant  upon  other 
points — as  to  what  were  the  relations  between  Gonld, 
Jim  Keene.  and  Selover.  and  mentioned  the  stories 
floating  about  the  street  concerning  Gonld's  alleged 
treachery  to  Keene,  Selover's  friend,  the  gentleman 
replied.  "I  have  a  knowledge  of  the  facta,  and  I 
state  iinqnalifiedly  that  3Ir.  Gonld  has  acted  with  the 
atmost  fairness  in  all  his  transactions  -with  Keene 
and  Selover."  Tlio  gentleman  declined  to  spe^  ex- 
plicitly as  to  the  nature  of  the  transactions  between 
iroiild,  Keene,  and  Selover,  or  as  to  their  results. 

WHAT  LED  TO  THE  ASSAXTLT, 
There  appears  to  bo  no  doubt  that  th^  assault  upon 
irr.  Gould  was  dictated  by  the  sympathy  that  Major . 
Selover  has  for  "Jim"  Keene.  the  (^ilifomia  mil- 
lionaire, in  the  quarrel  between  Keene  and  Gonld, 
which  has  culminated  within  a  few  days.  The  his- 
tory of  the  intimacy  between  these  two  operators 
is  very  much  chequered.  Althonj^h  they  havelmown 
ene  another  only  five  months,  they  have  had  several 
qnarrols,  resulting  from  one  charging  the  other  with 
trearhery.  Those  quarrels  finally  resultedinaciraiplete 
ruptnr<>  on  Monday  last,  and  the  rumor  on  the  street 
Tvas  that  tliey  had  vowed  deadly  enmity  one  toward 
the  other.  By  an  analysis  of  the  various  statements 
made  by  brokers  the  followlnp  is  derived,  and  it  is 
offered  as  a  history,  as  nearly  correct  as  can  be  made 
by  nn  outsider,  of  the  operations  of  Messrs.  Gonld 
snd  Kccnc  to:;ether.  or  in  opposition  to  one  another. 
In  its  course  the  cans?  of  Major  Selover's  enmity 
towjird  ( Tonld  will  be  readily  perceived  In 
JfjiTch  last  "Jim'"  Koene  came  to  this  City  from 
t<an  Franri-sco  with  a  fortune  variouslv  estimated  at 
from  .?aoOO.(>00-to  $8,000,000.  which  he  had  made 
in  Bonanza  Ktfu-ks.  At  that  time  a  combination  was 
forming  against  Jav  Gould,  who  was  "  bearing" 
W'pstpm  Union  stock.  Keene  readily  went  into  the 
'■  ponl."  in  which  his  AJiso^'iates  wore  D.  P.  Morgan, 
P.  M.  Mills,  formerly  Gould's  broker,  Russell  Sage, 
and  spvenl  others.  Western  Union  was  sent  up  10 
pfT  cent.  :n  price,  from  (>0  to  76,  and  Gould  was 
t)«'Ily  ■•  sqni'P7.fd."  \^^liI^•  this  was  going  on  Keene 
hwame  friendly  with  >f«jor  A.  A.  Selover,  who  was 
then  uloing  but  Utile,  it  is  said,  having

and  they  made  a  comhiuation.  f^eene  sold  his 
"VV,'stem  Union  stuck,  its  price  fell,  and  Gould  was

V.'estpm  Union.  This  pool  continued  without  its 
members  having  trouble  with  one  another  in  regard 
to  ijs  riffairs  until  r.  f-w  days  ago.  In  the  meantime 
Kp*^ce  and  Gould  had  operated  together  in  some  other 
directions,  and.  it  is  reported,  the  former  became 
an^envl  .*ieveml  times  by  diworering  that  his  partner 
was  doing  the  opposite  of  what  he  had  promised  to 
do.  Still,  no  ov^rt  act  displayed  the  hostility  grow- 
'log  np  between  them.

he  agreed  to  assist  in  keeping  up  the

Goril.h  inste;id  of  keeping;  his  agr'^ment,  had  begun

About  the  same  time  i"K>ulil  iind  Oarrison  left  the 
"Apple  Tree' pool,  and  sold  their  stock  so  that  it

roftddened  Keene.  He  Kent  to  Gould  on  Wedaea-

.selo\-er's  account  op  the  tboubi.e. 

The  Selover- Gould  affair  was  the  sole  talk  at  Lonjj 
Branch  lust  niiiht.  exciting  eveu  more  interest  than 
the  Bennett-May  difticnlty  of  Ifi.st  Sprijig. :  Mr.  Std- 
over.  the  principal  in  the  frac.-w.  and  his  friend,  Mr. 
Jaine^  K.  Keeuo.  were  both  at  Irfutj  Branch  last 
Dvenin;;.  and  were  Wsiege*!  by  anxious  frien'i3  thirst- 
Int:  tor  fi'.ller  information  concerning  the  encounter. 
DuriuK  the  afternoon  Mr.  S:'I-.>ver  was  called  upon  by 
H  Ti,'HES.n-p*^rter,  to  whom  he  vouchsafed  the  follow- 
ir.(r -taiement  uf  his  critvawces  :  "  Mr.  Gould's  con- 
duct towanl  me."  said  Mr.  Selover,  "  in  conneciion 
^rh  tills  whole  busine.-is.  has  been  simply  infamous. 
It  would  exliaust  the  capacity  of  the  English  lan- 
puBije  to  tlltiii:;ly  chanH-lerizc  the  meanness,  the  du- 
plicity, and  the  lreacher>-  with  which  this  scoundrel

teen  "tryim;  to  secure  the  evidence  of  his  treachery. 
but  it  was  only  within  the  last  week  thati  I  obt«ned 
the  reqiUMte  proofs.  Tonlay  I  met  him  in  Exchan^e- 
pl&r*f.  and  wishing,  if  possible,  to  avoid  humiliating 
Dim  in  puMic.  asked  hiia  to  go  to  my  oflBce.  He 
answfcred  insolently  that  he  would ;  come  to- 
morrow or  uext  day.  and  I  said,  '"Gould, 
you  have  behaved  very  Ijadly  i"  tbis  matter,  and  you 
owe  me  au  explfi nation."  He  still  refu-sed  to  say  any- 
thinif.  and  then  I  slapiwd  his  face  once  or  twice,  and 
the  row  ended  in  mv  liftinj?  liim  over  the  railing  and 
dtoppinir  hJm  into  the  cellar.  *  In  replv  to  a  question 
to.s  to  whether  he  had  used  more  violence  than  was 
iifcessarv,  Mr.  Selover  replied  in  the  negative,  and 
Raid:  "f  give  you  my  word  of  houor  I  had  no  inten- 
tion of  dam:uj;iug  the  fellow.  I  merely  wished

au^wer  to  a  <|uestiou  as  '  to  whether  he

^<.st  him  :$1.000.000."  Mr.  Sfdover  said  he  did  not 
know  whether  Gould  would  follow  the  matter  up. 
He  may.  '  .said  he.  "  set  some  of  his  hired  assassins 
on  rav  track,  as  he  hap  on  that  of  other  men  in  the

Mr.  J/mes  R.  Keene  positively  refused  to  give  any 
sf-count  of  his  relations  with  Jay  Gould.  WJien 
asked  whether  it  was  true  that  he  Itad  been  threaten- 
ini:  I  he  lite  of  tliat  individual  for  several  davs  past  ho 
IfiUi^hed,  and  said,  "Of  course  not ;  Gould  is  nothing 
to  me,  and  I  don't  care  wtiat  he  does  or  says  as  far  as 
I  am  concerned.  The  stories  in  certain  papers  to  the

?o<;ter«txij  for  notice.  I  can  »ay  this — that 
Imve  lost  nothing  by  Mr.  Gould's 
manoeti%'ring  and  have  no  apprehension  of  doing  so." 
■V  member  of  the  firm  of  Fitzhogh  &  Stewart, 
srokers,  of  which  Mr.  Keene  is  a  speci&I  partner,  say 
ih&i  they  liave  not  bten  affected  by  Gould's  recent 
iction.  Their  available  cash  balance  at  the  close  of 
ousinesa  last  night  footed  up  over  ^GO^OOO. 
SotwilhstamUng  tlie  denials  of  Mr.  Keene  aiid  his 
friends,  the  opinion  is  prevalent  at  Long  Branch 
that  they  have  suffered  la^ly  from  Gould's 
duplicity,  althouffh  to  what  amount  cannot  be 
•onjecturcd.  Keeuo,  however,  is  reported  to 
hj>ld  a  large  line  of  stocks,  among  others 
SO  000  shares  of  St.  Paul,  of  which  Gould 
is  short,  wid  he  intends  making  the  latter  pay  heavily 
[or  his  treachery  when  settling  day  comes.  All  the 
parties  concerned  refused  last  ni^t  to  ^ve  any  de- 
Udls  of  the  stwk  jobbing  transactions  which  preceded 
the  present  difflxrulty.  Public  opinion  at  Long 
Bntnch  is  generally  diauosed  to  criticise  Solovor'a 
conduct  in  punishimt  Gould  to  the  extent  allegeo.  A 
prominent  banker  expressed  the  general  feeling  by 
Hiving  "if  Selover  had  contented  himself  with  slap- 
ping Gould's  face,  or  taking  him  over  his  knee  and 
tpauking  him,  we  would  have  all  applauded" 
At  the  Ocean  Hotel  there  were  loud  denun- 
riatlona  of  Selover.  One  tall  broker  said,  "M 
the  big  lummox  (meaning  Selover,)  had  taekledamaa

complain  of 'the  countless  obstacles  which,  in

placed  iJMhfiir  path.  It  is  only  simple  justice 
to  the  Ri^ians  to  say  that  all  of  these  gentle- 
men either  represent  journals  whose  Turkish

to  me  as  thou^th  the  Russian  staff  authorities 
Intended  to  cleanse  what  they  are  pleased  to 
consider  a  sort  of  Augean  stable,  and  that 
when  those  i^ho  have  rendered  themselves  ob-

ing elect  will  bo  more  agreeable.  Russian  of-

genial  in  their  manners  and  hearing  to  all 
who,  by  their  conduct  or  social  position,

and  if  they  be  rough  to  "  cads,"  it 
is  the  "  cads'  •  fault,  and  still  more 
the  fault  of  the  newspapers  who  send  out  such 
representatives.  'Ehere  is  a  prejudice  a^inst 
Israelites,  among  both  Russians  and  Rou-

admit  Is  inexcusable  and  unreasoning,  but  it 
exists — and  it  seem?  to  me  that  it  is  bad  policy  to 
employ  them  where  their  position  is  rendered 
unbearable,  and  where  they  are  exposed  to  con- 
stant alights  and  unmerited  mortifications. 
Something  disagreeoiblo  has  taken  place  at  head  - 
quarters  with  refenence  to  CoL  Wellesley,  the 
British  miliiary  representative,  which,  if  true, 
will]  possibly  complicate  the  situation  between 
England  and  Russiai.  I  hare  been  furnished 
with  det-allsj  but  the  matter  is  really  too  serious 
for  me  to  Venture  Tzpon  their  communication 
until  I  have  their  comflrmation  at  Bucharest. 
All  that  I  can  say  now  is  that,  even  though 
exaggerated,  the  possibility  of  the  existence  of 
such  an  imbroglio  is  a  very  bad  sign. 

A  serious  encounter -with  the  Turkish  troops 
took  place  on  Friday  evening,  at  Radanzis,  a 
little  village  on  the  route  between  Drenova  and 
Gabrova,  when  the  Ru.sslan  column  of  some 
15,000.  men  moving  on  Lovxlscha,  was  met  by 
the  advanceld  guard,  6,O00  strong,  of  tho  corps 
of  25,000  {o  which  is  Entrusted  the  dofenne  of 
the  approacjies  to  Ka.<«inlik..  The  fightin  g  is  ac- 
knowledged! to  have  been  very  severe  and  ac- 
companied jwith  heavy  loss,  but  a  victory  is 
claimed  by  the  Ru.'^sians.  I  can  certify  to  the 
truth  of  at  least  half  of  this  statement,  as  there 
has  been  no.  cessation  in  the  movement  of  the 
ambulance  trains  on  both  sides  of  the  nver. 
Xotafewof  the  wounded  had  received  sabre 
cuts — rather  an  unusual  cLrcumstanr-,  as  tho 
Osraanli  cavalry,  althoaigh  handy  with  its 
lances,  doe.si  not.  as  a  rule,  like  close  quarters 
and  cold  stejel. 

The  detacjiment  and  outpost    service  is  begin- 
ning to  get  (into  shape,   and   the   Russian  light 
cavalry  is  thrown  out  to  v^ry  considerable  dis- 
tances on  the  front  and  flanks.    As  there  is  a 
good  deal  df  dash  among  the  officers,  aind   no 
lack  of  courage  among  ,the  men,  the  cnbmy  is 
ftrlt  thorouejlily  and  his  moveraent.s  known  with 
con-sidcrable  accuracy.     The  Cos.sacks  naturally 
render  mos^  important  service?*  in  tMs  woiy,  and 
one  or  two  sotnias  accompany  every   column. 
Still,  their  inerits,  are  overrated,  and,  exdept  as 
/claireHrs,  tihey  can  never  have  any  real  vahie. 
Men  and  officers  alike  ride  very  badlv.  and  their 
horses  are  too  small  to  go  fa.st  or  to  stand  much 
work  under  the  heavy  loa^ls  which    they  are 
obliged  to  carry.     Their  1.3-feet  long  shad-poles 
are    too    diim-sy  to  be  dangerous   to   any   foot 
soltlier     who      will    quietly     wait    to     receive 
the     charge,    and    then      step    on    one     side 
just  before  rthe  shock,  which  cannot  be  repeated 
before  he  pan  use  hU  own  musket  against  a 
horseman  who.  perched  like  a  monkey  on  tho 
top  of  a  ridiculously  high  saddle,  cannotl  possi- 
bly pull  up'  his  animal  in  the  next  20!yards, 
with  his  fedble  snaffle  bit  and  raw-hide  or  rope 
bridle    Asf  each  man  carries  a  breech-loading 
rifle  in  ad*Ution  to  his  other  weapons,  they  may 
be,  as  is  n^aintained,   useful  on  the  sklrmi.'ih 
line,  particularly  if  they  can  employ  in  the  field 
the  tactics  taught  them  on  the  drill  ground.     I 
saw  one  of  these  exhibitions  yesterday,  and  to 
my  mind  it  was  more  like  a  circus  performance 
than  a  miliiar}'-  manoeuvre.     Tho  word  of  com- 
mand was  j!:iven  and  a  sotnia  deployed,  as  if  for 
a  charge  a:^  foragers,  at  a  kind  of  shambling 
trot;  then  |came  another  signal,  aod   tho  men 
dismounted ;  at  a  third,  tho  horses  were  lashed 
over  the   knee.s  with  the  short  whips,  which 
hang  to    ej\-ery   man's    wrist,   and  lay    down, 
their  rider^  stretching  themselves    along    the 
ground  behind  them  and  resting  their  rifles 
on  the  saddles,  thus  making  a  species  of  breast- 
work of  their  ponies  ;  then  they  got  up  and  re- 
peated the.  operation.    I  am  told  that  among 
the  Cossacks  of  the  Guard  the  animals  are  so 
highly  trained  that  they  drop  at  the  word  of 
command  ;[  but  I  have  seen  nothing  like  this 
except  In  one  instance-^a  trooper  at  the  camp  of 
Vacaresi,  ^hom  everybody  went  out  to  look  at, 
and  who  will,   or  rather  has,  become  legendary 
in  the  suburbs    of    Bucharest  for  his    tricks 
played  on  1  the  peasants  and  coflPee-house  keep- 
ers.    This  ;worthy  always  chose  a  market  day, 
when  there  was  a  large  crowd  of  the  rural  popu- 
lation presjent ;  he  would  ride  in,  ask  for  a  drink 
of  spirits,  I  and  then  begin  to  move  away  with- 
out offering  to    pay ;    then  .would   come   re- 
monstrances    on     the  •  part     of      the     seller, 
excuses    ffom    the     Cossack,     and    suddenly, 
in      the     niidst     of     the     conversation,     the 
horse  woiild  drop  down,  apparently  dead  ;  his 
rider,  aftei-  a  careful  inspection,  would  burst 
into  tears,  tell  of  his  love  for  his  beast,  of  the 
long  distance  he  had  come,  of  his   own   poverty 
and  consequent  Inability  to  replace  him — the 
l^ssack  hfjrses  belong  to  the  men,  who  receive 
a  certain  cbmjnutation  for  their  value  from  the 
Government — and  then  would  proceed  sadly  to 
take  oif  the  saddle  and  bridle;  by  this  time  the 
good-natured     countrymen     would    have   their 
feelings  sO  worked  upon  that   somebody,    gen- 
erally a  comrade  of  the  sufferer,  who  happened 
to     be   there   by   accident,    would    suggest  a 
small    subscription     in      his      favor,      and    a 
liat      would    bo    passed    round    and    a    heap 
of       copjier        hanr/i  — 2-cent       pieces — col- 
lected,   which     were     received     with    many 
thanks  an^  blessings,  and  1^  victim,  with  his 
saddle  on  his  head  and  the  bridle  over  his  arm, 
would  moye  away  in  much  grief.     Suddenly   a 
shrill  whistle  is  heard,  the  dead  horse   springs 
to  his  feet,  breaks  through  the  astonished  crowd, 
and  rejoins  his  master,  who  returns  in  triumph 
to  the  camip.    Now,  this  is  all  very  amusing  in 
its  way,  bat  it  is  not  practicable  in  war,  and,  if 
for  no  other  reason,  the  slowness  of  the  whole 
proceeding;  wotild  have  seriously  compromised 
the  safety  of  the  performers.    Still,  tihey  are 
fairly  good  scouts,  and  when  thej  can  And  ftny 
one  to  uzui«istand  them,  or  whom  thscr  eaa  na- 


deastftudf  must  be  able  to  pick  up  much  valuable 
infozihation,  although  their  utter  incapacity, 
inconidion  with  other  Asi&tics,  of  estimating 
numbers,  diminishes  somewhat  Its  accuracy. 

The  last  news  is  that  by  a  bold  flank 
march  an  wmy  of  100,000  Turks  has  moved 
from  Shumla  via  Osman-Bazar  to  the  Elasan 
Pass,  whence  it  will  act  in  such  directions  as 
may  be  indicated  by  the  progress  of  events. 
The  Russian  staff  affects  to  treat  this  report 
with  disdain,  on  the  ground  that  the  Osmanli 
have  neither  the  means  to  transport  norto  feed 
so  large  la  force.  They  argue  that  no  depots 
have  beeiu  established  neairer  the  Balkans  than 
Shumla  knd  Rasgrad,  and  that  after  the  army 
shall  haVe  eaten  the  eight  rations  which  they 
would  carry  with  them  they  would  be  obliged 
to  sei^d  there  for  more — a  difficult  tmdertaking 
for  an  army  unprovided  with  a*  regular  Quarter- 
ter  Department.  Perhaps  this  may  be  so, 
but  the  prisoners  taken  in  the  last  affair 
at  Biela  pretend  that  there  is  a  large  and  well- 
stocked  depot  at  Jamboli,  whence  to  Kasan  the 
distance  i  Ls  short  and  the  communications  ex- 
cellent. When  I  was  at  "Widdin,  more  than  a 
fortnighi  ago,  I  knew  of  the  concentration  at 
Osman-Bazar,  and  if  the  movement  to  Kasan 
has  not  {been  made,  it  is  simply  because  the 
Turks  always  leave  undone  wliat  they  ought  to 
do  and  have  generally  **  no  health  in  them." 
Another  report  signals  the  presence  of  a  body 
of  3,000  Turks  near  Trajan  ;  these  are  the  ad- 
vanced guards  of  a  division  15,000  strong, 
destined  to  cover  tho  pass  of  the  Balkans 
known  as  "the  Col  de  Trajan."  The  cir- 
cumspection shown  by  the  Russian  Staff  in 
speaking  of  this  induces  the  supposition  that 
a  fight  was  going  on  somewhere.  The  only 
thing  known  positively  is  that  the  Serdar  xd 
Ekrem.  Abd-nl-Kerim  Pasha,  was  atRa.sgrad  on 
the  11th  of  July,  and  that  he  left  either  for 
Rustchuk  or  Osman-Bazar  next  day.  Tho 
Russian  Army  is  slowly  deploj-ing,  and  at  this 
date'  occupies  the  zone  comprised  between 
Ple\'na,  |  Lovetdj,  Gabrowa,  Slataritov,  Obir- 
tcnitos,  and  Batin.  Their  line  is  not  parallel 
to  that  supposed  to  be  held  by  the  enemy,  but 
refuses  its  right  wing  and  presents  its  relatively 
feeble  left  to  the  Turki.sh  line  passing  through 
Rusttihuk.  Rasgrad,  Eski  Djuma,  and  Osman- 
Baznif,  with  Shumla  in  rear  of  its  centre. 
Reinforcements  have  certainly  been  sent  to 
Rustcihuk,  supposed  to  be  threatened  from  the 
land  .side — whose  garrison  has  been  brought  up 
to  I^O^OOO  men,  chiefly  taken  from  the  Kgj'p- 
tian  contingent.  There  is  no  question  that  a 
great^  battle,  but  by  no  means  a  decisive  one, 
will  he  fouicht  soon.' nnd  1  still  think  it  will  be 
near  Kustchuk.  Twelve  jniles  westward  of  this 
fortress,  at  Pyrgos.  is  a  Turkish  army  corps  of 
40,000  men,  which  is  destined  to  cover  tlie  at- 
tacks Icrcfssing  from  Tirnovuaud  Slstova,  and  as 
Gniber's  columns  of  110,000 — on  papei- — which 
marched]  out  from  Si-'^tova  two  or  three  days 
ago,  iniiist  be  nearly  in  sight  of  the  advance 
guard  of  the  Turks.'wr  shall  not  have  long  to 
wait  ^fore  the  curtain  is  drawn  up  for  the  sec- 
ond act  of  the  comedy. 

A  very  di«;agreeabIedriveoveraTery  dusty  road, 
of  fonv  hour*;,  brought  me  to  Turnu-Magurelii. 
the  original  point  of  passage  of  the  Russians. 
All  the  wav  I  met  convoys  of  stores  and  ammu- 
nition an^  detachments  of  foot  and  hors« 
crawling  on  to  Simnitza— I  can  use  no  other 
term  if  or  the  Russian  movements  on  this  side — 
and  l^dly  pitched  camps  increa.sed  in  number  a.s 
I  advanced,  in  most  ca.ses  seemingly  put  down 
wherever  it  so  pleased  the  brijriirk*  or  regimental 
eomniauder.  and  nor  often  with  any  rei^ard  to 
their  proximity  to  those  two  great  necessities  to 
the  si>ldi|er's  conifori,  wOdd  and  water.  Provi- 
.sionsand  ammunition  are  heaped  uphy  theroad- 
Klde,  I  an!d  mien  and  oflicers  loll  or  .'•traggle 
about!  in  a  wrftchedly  purpo.seless  sort  of 
way,  I  ijvhich  dues  not  leave  a  favor- 
able impression  on  the  professional  mind. 
About  ;^0  kiloraftres  from  Simnitza  stHuds 
the  coifntry  seat  of  Mme.  tntargi.  which 
has  been  until  lately  occupied  as  the  Imjierial 
IleadKiuarters.  It  is  a  nice-lookiug  building  on 
the  outside — of  course,  having  been  sanctitied 
by  thepijesence  of  the  j-reat  Emperor,  its  interior 
remains  la  sealed  book  f or  u-s  common  people^— 
but  its  ^environs  arc  thu  most  foul-.-tmeH^ftg 
places  tliat  Ih.ive  ever  come  across  in  ray  wander- 
ings. The  Rus.sian  camp  at  the  village  of 
Bunia^si;  just  out  of  Bucharest,  and  at  tho 
temiinu^  of  the  fashionable  promenade  of  th»* 
Chauss^-e.  was  so  horrible  that  my  horse  used 
to  Jholp  whenever  he  apprbarhtd  il  ; 
but  jtht  effluvium  of  thi^  spot  defies 
my  ne.*Jcriptive  powers,  at  le:ist  without  tiio 
help  of  words  such  as  cannot  be  employed  in 
polite  laugiiage.  Hard  by  the  villa  is  au  enor- 
mous tumulus  called  the  Voivodn,  and  a  s^rte-i 
of  .-jimilar  mounds  runs  along  the  river's  course 
almost  during  the  whole  distance  from  bim- 
nitzal  at  regular  intervals  of  from  IJOO  t<>  lOO 
yards.  Archa-ologisls  have  not  yet  explorefl 
thesel  constructions,  and  tradition  j«»  .silent  as 
to  their  history,  but  as  great  quantities  ai  med- 
als and  Roraai'i  roin.s  of  the  reigns  of  Septimus 
and  Alexander  Sevmis  are  continuiillv  turned 
up  by  the  peasants*  plow-*,  there  w.is  prid>- 
ably  here  at  some  time  an  imjwrtant  imperial 
cantonment. 

TurnuOIugurelli,  the  chief  town  of  th^ 
district  of  Teleorraan.  with  a  population  of 
-l.'J.o>*.  is  even  more  uniuhubiiablu  thun  my 
last  resting  plBre.  It.-*  streets  are  irregular  and 
paved,  in  .spots  ;  ju-st  now  they  are  dust  heaps; 
m  tht  Spring  and  Winter  they  nuust  bo  quag- 
mires. It  takes  its  imme  from  the  ruins  of  alower, 
or  pei-hapsof  a  city,  built  by  the  Ronxans — wliere 
the  present  institution  stands — at  tho  comnujur-e- 
ment  of  the  main  line  connecting  the  Danu1>o 
with  Transylvania,  through  the  posses  of  the 
Carpathians'.  The  facilities  it  offered  for  float- 
ing down  their  bridge  materials  from  the 
mountains  to  tho  mouth  of  thi*  Olti 
ilotivfa  eati.s(r<i  its  selection  by  the  Russians 
as'a  chief  point  on  their  bai^o  of  operations, 
nmt'h  to  the  pretended  horror  but  real  satis- 
faction of  the  mhabitunts,  who  take  in  and  do 
for  their  foreign  guests  with  the  proverbial  hos- 
pitality of  a\\  Eastern  Christians,  who.  as  a  rule, 
charge  the  stranger  and  the  pilgrim  about  300 
per  qent.  more  than  they  would  dream  of  asking 
tho  most  rapacious  descendant  of  Jacob  or 
ishmael. 

I  was  sternly  warned  off  from  my  intended 
vi.sit  to  the  incipient  boat  bridge  lying  along  tho 
bank^  but  as  my  glasses  are  very  good,  1  could 
seo  tiie  arrangements,  still  apparently  very  in- 
complete, from  a  hillock  100  yards  back.  As 
the  whole  of  this  portion  of  the  left  shore  is  as 
flat  as  a  billiard- table,  my  position  was  quite  a.s 
go-jdias  if  it  had  been  more  advanced,  and  cer- 
tainly much  safer,  as  the  Turkish  bullets  were 
singing  quite  cheerily  from  over  the  way  at  Kik- 
ofwlis  ;  and  as  I  am  just  now  a  non-combatant, 
and  not  aimed  at,  the  danger  to  me  would 
have  been  far  greater  than  it  is  said  to  be 
to  the  Circassian  gentlemen  in  Russian 
par  who  keep  up  the  ball  on  this  side,  and 
never,  by  any  chance,  receive  a  scratch.  There 
was  a  desultorj-  bombardment,  at  long  intervals, 
from!  the  Ru.ssian  batterie-s,  and  a  feeble  reply 
froni  the  Turki.sh  fortress,  apparently  without 
the  slightest  effect,  although  several  bulletins, 
equally  mendacious  on  both  sides,  have  led  me 
to  imagine,  and  probably  with  me  the  too  con- 
fiding public,  that  nothing  but  ruins  marked 
the  place  where  once  they  frowned  defiance  at 
each  other.  I  am  inclined  to  think  that  tho 
Russian  demonstrations  from  Sislova,  only  two 
houre  of  road  distant,  will  cause  the  speedy 
evacuation  of  Nikopolis,  which  i-s  only  fortified 
seriously  on  the  river  front,  and  so  1  will  defer 
to  my  nest  letter  its  description,  only  sajing 
nowithat  no  attempt  to  lay  a  bridge  in  the  teeth 
of  its  cannon  caii  result  in  anything  but  a 
lamentable  failure.  As  it  is,  we  could  plainly  see 
a  strong  column  of  Russian  cavalry  with  a 
couple  of  guns — *' horse"  or  **flving''  artillery, 
and  not  "  mounted"  artillery,  wliich  the  great 
civilian  strategists  of  most  of  the  newspapers 
are  jileased  to  call  it — moving  about  in  rear  and 
up  ill  the  direction  of  Rahcva  ;  but  although  tho 
Turks  were  witliin  1,000  yards  of  them,  they 
could  not  send  them  shot,  as  all  their  pieces  are 
pointed  in  another  direction.  This  is  a  pretty 
significant  sign  of  coming  events  whose  shadows 
are  very  long,  and  nothing  would  surprise  me 
less  than  a  combined  attack  on  Xikopohs  within 
the  next  2-i  hours. 

!  TuRNC-MAf3UBELI-I.  Julv  12. 

O  !  for  the  pen  of  Scott  or  Lever,  to  'do  full 
justice  to  this  morning's-  brilliimt  deeds,  when 
Koumania  dashed  boldly  to  the  front,  and  made 
her  first  step  on  her  road  to  empire  ;  for,  be  it 
kno^vn,  her  Prince  looks  forward  to  something 
more  than  the  mere  independence  of  his  coun- 
try. '  Russia  has  pledged  herself  to  a  policy  of 
non-jaggrandizemeut,  but  no  such  shackles 
fetter  Roumanian  energy,  and  why  should 
not  I  the  crown  of  Constantino  encircle  his 
Olympian  brows  I  There  is  no  pent  up  Utica 
abui^t  that  young  man ;  he  means  business,  and 
business  on  a  large  scale,  and  will  do  or  die  ;  or 
perhaps,  like  the  commander  of  Orpheus  C. 
Kerr's  ^Vlackerel  Brigade,  he  means  to  accom- 
plish both.  There  will  be  a  Te  Doum  in  Bucha- 
rest to-morrow  when  the  news  gets  there,  and 
a  long  list  of  decorations  in  the  next  official 
monitor,  or  else  the  country  and  its  sovereign 
will  be  most  ungrateful  for  this  dajr'a  glorious 
achievements.  Manu,  who  commands  the 
First  Romanian  Army  Corps  at  Islass,  just 
across  the  Oltu  from  Tumu-Magurelli,  has 
long  been  panting  for  an  opportunity,  and

scribed in  letters  of  gold  upon  the  tablets  of 
his  country's  BfcoJTy.  A  Russian  colunm  had 
been  signalled  yesterday  upon  the  right  bank ; 
the  Roumaniansihad  seen  it  too,  and  had  been 
glad  with  exceeding  great  joy.  There  was  no 
time  to  communicate  with  the  Prince  at  Ealit- 
fat ;  besides,  why  should  Carol  I.  win  all  the 
fame,  and  why  should  Rtissia  be  allowed  to 
reap  all  the  laurels,  when  Roumanian  heroes 
were  here,  sweltiering  tinder  a  dog-day  sun,  with 
no  other- en  emiep;  to  vanqnish  than  hunger  and

war  coimcil'of  jjhis  bravest  chiefs  echoed  with 
an  unanimous  |pheer|  "Let  us  make  a  dash  !'* 
Hardly  could  tihey  restrain  their  impatience 
through  Ithe  lonjic  houH  of  that  dreary  day  ;  the 
intended  surprise  wis  in  the  mouth  of  every 
man,  and  thp  '^^j  jfear  of  each  w^s  that  he 
should  not  be  |f  th^  chosen  band.  At  last  it 
came— that  !  JoAg-wished  for  night^-and  as 
the  midnigjht  II  chimes  were  tinkled  by  the 
bell  of  the^  barisli  church  the  heroes 
marched  ou^  fsternly  from  their  tents,

upon  their  bayonets,  and  to  the  sound  of  drum 
and  trumpet^  entered  the  boats  and  steered  across 
the  DamAe.  Well  did  they  know,  before  thev

THE  HEPoJBTEi)  BABHI-BAZOUK  OrTRAOER. 
In  a  recenlt  letter i  from  Tchemavoda  I  men- 
tioned the  factijthat;  there  was  a  great  deal  of 
tiilk  in  the  largei  Hulgariau  villages  about  tho 
outrages  whi<  h  ||  BasJii-Bazouks  and  (hn*as.sians 
had  been  coir  mittingbn  tlie  Bulgarians  during 
the  bimibarjllm^jnt  of  i  Rustchuk.  I  mentioned 
that  in  tlie  jioni4e  where  I  attemptefl  to  -ttTite 
my  letter.  t]iX'r|  was!  a  Bulgarian  mother,  all 
tears  and  diiliaveletl  I  tresses — a  very  Rachel 
weeping  for  li^r  children  and  refusing  to  be 
comfortedibei'ajj:{ie  Waty  wert*  not.  Yestertlay 
morning  I  wf^nljjover  to  the  village  expressly  to 
investigate  tije  racLs'of  this  case  or  of  any  similar 
case^  which  laignt  l>e  ^portetl.  I  was  not  at  all 
surprised  to  flri|l  that]  the  woman's  two  j'oung 
daughters,  orcf  whoso  capture  and  maltreat- 
ment by  tl;)i  Ijlaslii-Bazouks  the  woman  hail 
shed  hor  teal's  so  copio\isly.  had  appeared  in 
due  time  at  Tbhei^iavoda,  not  a  hair  of  their 
he<ids  being  hhrmed.  This  I  gathered  from 
purely  Bulgarian  sources.  My  efforts  in  other 
directions  were  klmost  equally  fruitle.**s  in  pro- 
ducing anytjl  inj;;  **  sensational."  There  were  a 
good  many  y.igiio  ruriiors.  but  no  tan^ble  e\i- 
dence.  of  any  outrajE;e.  In  one  case,  indeed,  a 
Kaividjeenolint^d  out;  to  me  an  old.  gray-haired 
the  Ba.shi-Bazouks  had 
well  ^vith  the  view 
and  had  thus  fright- 
hifl  wits,  I  could  And 
this  story,  and  I  noted 
most  inveterate  habit  of 
begging,  whiith|jhe  omld  hardly  have  picked  up, 
like  truth,  at  tthp  bottc^m  of  a  well.  Later  in  the 
day  I  pursued  riiy  inquiries  at  Rustchuk,  and 
found  that  therib  hadibeen  a  good  deal  of  exag- 
geration in  the  ktories  recently  circulated  as  to 
the  rapacity  anPl  violence  of  the  Ba.shi-Bazouks. 
A  good  mruiy  ihouHe|3,  both  Turkish  and  Bul- 
garian, had;  hejen  plundered.  Several  of  tho 
ctilprits  were  bfoughtj  to  the  Vali  with  the  booty 
upon  them,  bind!  no  dOubt  violence  had  been  re- 
sorted (30-  j^Cijbrman  received  a  severe  wound 
in  the  hand;  iby  one  of  these  marauders.  But 
the  prompt  iiiiiWu  of  the  Vali  seemed  to  have 
put  do^yn  thjf  miovemont  toward  violence  before 
It  could  a.s.sii]ueiseribji|is  proportions. 

RUStCHtJ  C    VFTER  THE   BOMBARDMENT. 
Passing  on  to  Rustchuk  I  found  that  the  sit- 
uation tlierfj  ffiis  almost  unaltered.     There  had 
been  no  canbuaijiing  for  live  days,  and  the  peo- 

fde  were  gradually  creeping  out  from  their  cel- 
arsor  in  f  roik  the  helds.  Bakers,  barbers, 
cooks,  coffipt-house  keepers,  grocers,  gun- 
makers,  saddlers.  smith.s.  aod  tobacco  .sellers 
had  opened!  br I  half  I  opened  their  shops  and 
stores,  and  ihe.jBtlll,  to  a  great  extent,  deserted 
town,  ,did  ]  noit  ivijar  an  aspect  so  mel- 
ancholy aa  !|it  wore  a  few  days  ago. 
fib".  ponatjl  'I  ReAtlo  had  returned  to 
pursue;  for  a  dfcy  or  tjwo  at  least,  his  investiga- 
tions upon  tfiie  ippot,  His  opinion  is  that  the 
talk  about  the  doings  of  the  Bashi-Bazouks  has 
been  greatly^  esfagg6rp.ted.  It  is  noted  here  that 
duringthe  lastjday^of  the  bombardment,  after 
the  Russiapis  jlbad;  heard  6i  the  indignation 
caused  by  thio  attack  j  ou  the  French  and  Eng- 
lish Coinsuia  te)J,l  the  iRuasian  Consulate,  which 
had  hitheri<  >  escaped,  received  a  fair  share  of 
the  Russian  ittientioris.  There  were  no  impor- 
tant public  I  ju|ldin!gfi  near  the  Consulate  first 
destroyed,  a:id|the  06nsuls  are  still  inclined  to 
regard  the  ict  is  wantonly  malicious.  The  loss 
of  life  during!  and  iconsequent  upon  the  bom- 
bardment is  esiimated  at  about  200.  but  these 
figures  are  only  approximate ;  for  my  own  part, 
I  believe  they  Are  eixBggerated.  It  was  noticed 
that  during:  th^  last  day  they  fired,  the  Russians 
employed  their  lighter  guns  only. 

This  fact,  coupled  with  the  silence  of  the  bat- 
teries for    »b  miuiy,  4^s,  gives  rise  to  a  great 


the  Rnssiaus  nave  some  "  big  thine''  In  hand  on 
the  other  ride  of  the  river,  and  nave  moved 
their  guns  to  a  point  of  attack  where  they  may 
prove  more  serviceable  than  at  Bnstchudc.  It 
cannot  be  said  that  they~  have  hitherto 
shown  any  ^^at  desire  to  purii  on  in  ^s 
direction.  Twelve  days  have  gone  by 
since  they  crossed  neiff  Sistova.  They 
might  well  have  had  some  80,000  men,  wirn 
the  requisite  guns  and  storesi  across  by  this 
time.  Indeed,  the  Turks  calculate  that  60,000 
or  70,000  Russians  have  actually  crossed  the 
river.  Had  they  advanced  boldly  it  is  possible 
that  a  few  days  ago  they  might  have  crossed 
the  Jantra  without  opposition,  but  now  the 
Turkish  troops  are  being  poured  forward 
from  all  directions,  and  probably  by  this 
time  the  strong  positions  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  Jantra  near  Biela  are 
being  held  and  strengthened  by  the  Turks. 
The  neighborhood  of  Biela  is  expected  by  many 
to  be  tho  scene  of  a  great  battle  within  the  next 
few  days.  Timovais  also  regarded  as  a  likely 
locality.  The  Russians  are  suspected  of  a  desire 
to  turn  the  left  flank  of  the  Turkish  Army,  force 
the  Shefket  Pass  through  the  Balkans,  and 
march  on  Con.stantinople„ leaving  behind  them 
only  sufflciont  troops  to  maintain  their  line  of 
communication.  Against  any  such  bold  .scheme 
the  Turks  have  prepared  themselves,  and  great 
movements  of  troops  are  reported  from  the 
direction  of  Sophia.  But  the  Russians  have  a 
good  many  things  on  their  side  ;  and,  for  one 
tning,  they  may  always  depend  on  the  Bulgari- 
ans furnishing  them  with  the  best  information 
of  the  country  and  the  state  of  the  Army. 

For  a  few  weeks  we  have  beeu  sweltering  un- 
der a  scorching  sun.  Men  have  been  panting 
for  sea  breezes  as  the  hart  pants  for  the  water 
brooks,  and  the  very  cattle  have  been  pining 
and  dying  in  the  fields  for  want  of  pasture. 
But  last  evening  we  were  visited  by  a  thunder- 
storm of  almost  tropical  violence  and  intensity. 
accompanied  by  torrents  of  rain.  The  storm 
lasted  for  several  hours.  To-day  the  air  is  much 
cooler,  and  the  country  will  quickly  be  covered 
with  a  fresh  undergrowth  of  green  pasture. 

THE  nCISSITVDES  OF  NAMES.      . 


M  OLD  SUBJECT  DISCUSSED. 


THET  HAVE  NO  XESS  CH-^-QEFCX  DESTINIES 
THAN  OTHER  -WOIIDS— H0"V7  FIOTION 
SOMETIMES  DOES  A  -WHONG. 

From  the  PaU  ^fall  Gazette. 

Byron  has  somewhere  observed  that  when  the 
name  of  Kero  is  mentioned  no  one  thinks  of  tho  Con- 
sul whoso  unoQualed  march  ended  la  the  defeat  of 
Hasdrubal,  and  thus  saved  the  Roman  Republic. 
The  name  for  most  persons  suggests  only  a  tyrant,  a 
debauchee,  and  a  persocuter  of  the  Christians.  It  is 
a  fate  which  happens  to  words  pretty  frequently,  to 
loso  their  meaning,  and  even  to  acquire  a  sense  ex- 
actly opposite  to  that  which  they  once  boro.  The 
wonts  "'prevent "  and  "  let "  are  familiar  etymologi- 
cal tiwtancps,  tho  on©  having,  so  to  say,  changed 
meanings  with  tho  other  since  tho  Book  of  Common 
Prayer  wa.<?  written.  N"amos  have  not  less  chang»>ful 
destinies  than  other  words — a  reflection  which  may  hav^ 
been  suggested  lo  many  by  tho  lato  trial  for  murder 
in  AuKii-in.  Hitherto  the  name  of  De  Tourville  sug- 
gested only  the  momorj'  of  tho  brave  French  Admiral 
who  defoated  ns  at  Beachy  Head,  and  was  liimself 
defeated  .it  La  Koguo.  TJie  Parisians  have  railed  an 
avenue  after  him.  and  he  occupies  an  honorable  plrwie 
in  tho  brilliant  historical  gallery  of  Macaolay.  But 
for  some  time  to  come,  at  all  events,  when  the  name 
of  Pf  Tourvillo  1r  mentioned,  few  will  think  of  tho 
naval  commander,  and  if,  what  witli  appeals  and 
questions  of  international  law.  the  case  should  be 
kept  lone  enouch  before  the  public  to  Impress  it 
firmly  on  the  nn*mor>'  of  contemporary  chroniclers, 
it  is  quite  po«;silde  that  the  Admiral  may  be  perma- 
nently oiuitcd  from  the  Jirst  claim  to  be  remernhfrod 
whentbe  words  "De  Tourville  ''  are  pronounced,  for 
the  interest  in  mm^ers  and  in  lesial  pn>ceodini;s 
spfms  to  increase,  while  mihtarj'  exploits  are 
not  porh:ips  mted  bo  high  as  they  oneo 
were.  Notable  criminals  haye  too  often 
atrnnivated  tlielr  offen.sea  by  staining  riaraes 
which  had  been  onco  associated  only  with  what  was 
jilowfiant  or  distinguished.  One  of  the  most  rharmliif: 
of  thu  Caroline  poets  was  a  Vant;han ;  so.  unfortu- 
nately, was  the  first  man  hanged  for  forpint;  notes  on

ber him.  for  hf  suffered  at^-fhe  Old  Bailey,  Dec  31,

only  to  have  recalled  that  upriglit  lawyer  who  was 
o:it»  of  thi?  stoutest  defenders  or  constitutional  nrin- 
clpk'S  in  tho  pvil  il»ys  of  .Tames  U.  "  You  must  na\;^

said  the  IVince  of  Orange  to  him.  "Yes.  Sir,"  he  re- 
plied ;  "and  if  it  had  not  been  for  vour  coming  I 
should  h.ave  survived  the  laws  as  weU.''_  The  Man- 
nini;^  may  one  day  dispute  precedence  in  books  of 
referonc"  vrith  a  famous  antiquary  and  a  still  more 
famous  OfcIeMtstio,  and  Rush  with  a  distinguished 
American  diplomatist.  But  the  worst  case  is  perhaps 
that  of  the  name  of  Burke.  That  a  man  who  was  al- 
most the  father  of  political  morality  should  have  had 
his  name  borne  by  the  introducer  of  a  new  and 
diabolical  swcies  of  crime  was  bad  enough,  but  tliis 
was  not  to  be  all-  Tlie  statesman  was  especially  a 
friend  to  free  and  candid  inquiry  ;  and  now  we  talk 
of  •hiirking"  Imjuiir,  to  denote  the  worst  attempt 
to  stitlf  diitctmsion. 

Oecft.-i  ion  ally  a  work  of  fiction  d.vs  cruel  wrong:  to 
a  distingui'ihed  name,  as  the  old  family  of  Bamewell 
has  foiind  to  it-i  cost.  As  the  Manlian  farailv 
avoided  the  name  of  ilarcu.*,  so  do  the  Barnewell!? 
the  name  of  (ieorge.  and  doubtless  the  Rigbys  the 
name  of  Xlrholas.  A  curious  result,  by  the  way.  of 
iho  realiitm  of  modem  novel-writers  in  this  resitect, 
ha.'*  been  to  seriously  limit  the  numt>er  of  titles 
which  persons  whoha've  the  good  (or  ill)  fortune  to 
be  rai.sed  to  the  peerage  can  assume;  H*  would  be  a 
bohl  Earl  who  should  wish  to  be  called  Marquis  of 
Monmouth.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  TroUope,  by  creating 
a  l^iTti  Chiltem,  anticipated  an  exercise  of  the  pre- 
rojrative  which  her  Majesty  would  otherwise  have 
been  a-skcd  to  make  in  recent  years.  It  was  common- 
ly reported  at  the  time  that  Lord  Goderich.  when 
promoted  to  a  higher  step-in  the  peerace.  wished  to 
be  called  Karl  Haruhl  but  was  deterred  bv  some  re- 
marks In  John  JiuU  abont  Childe  Harold.  Earl 
Harold  was  one  •  of  the  titles  of  the  la.st  Grey.  Duke 
of  Kent,  from  whom  Lord  Goderich  was  maternally 
doscendi-d. 

Curious  are  tho  vicissitndes  of  names — '  habrnt 
tita /nta" — some  xitterly  chauginjj  their  sijrniflcftDce. 
some  strangely  preservuig  a  kind  of  Identity.  Thus, 
sham  patriotism  could  hardly  be  hetter  exemplified 
than  in  Wilkes,  the  member  for  Ayl«»sbury,  who  in- 
d.'cd  frankly  owned  "he  was  no  Wilkito,"  and  in 
Wilkes,  the  American  Captain  who  so  nearly  in- 
volvtHl  hiscountrv  in  a  war  with  EngUnd.  Others 
there  ar©  which 'must  have  had  strangely  different 
sounds  for  the  men  of  different  generations.  John 
Abemethv  Ls  the  name  of  a  theologian  of  some  mark 
in  his  tla'y  (]t>»0^1740j  a.s  well  as  of  tho  most 
wonderful  of  surgeon*.  For  nearly  a  ccniury  the 
name  of  Kelson  sugirested  to  England  the  name  of  a 
leanied  divine,  and  a  somewhat  dreary,  hut  highly 
orthodox  and  honored  hook  on  the  .f'cwU  and 
Fe^tiraUt  of  the  Church  of  England.  The  name  of 
Byron  has  had  three  ©poehis  of  fame,  each  more 
brilliant  than  tho  preceding.  For  a  long  time  his- 
torv  knew  onlv  ot  the  gallant  cavalfer  who  com- 
niiinded  theresen'e  at  Bdgehill  and  vanquished  Sir 
William  Waller  at  Roundaway  Down.  Then  u  B\Ton 
took  a  place  in  the  list  of  famous  English  sailors, 
and  after  him  came  the  greatest  of  them  all.  Apro- 
IK>s  of  this  family,  wa-s  ever  a  title  conferred  which 
suggest*  a  more  curious  combination  of  dissimilar 
ideas,  at  least  to  modem  ears,  than  that  with  which 
Charles  I.  rewarded  the  Im-alty  of  his  General  i  Sir 
John  was  created  "Lord  Byron,  of  Rochdale,  to  tho 
Countv  Palatine  of  Lancaster." 

Tho  name  of  Shaftesbury  has  passed  through 
stranger  adventures  than  that  of  Byron,  having  been 
lK>m«  bv  men  so  utterly  different,  each  one  from  the 
other  two.  as  the  first,  the  third,  and  tho  seventh 
Earls.  There  are,  again,  two  ilacaulays  in  the  list  of 
English  historian;* ;  and  though  the  first  is  well-nigh 
forgotten,  she  once  enjoyed  no  mean  reputation. 
Catharine  Macaujay  treated  the  same  period  of

EXTREME  *  FESAZTIES  i  FOR    CRIME. 

SOME  OT  THE  BABBAKOUS    PUNISHMENTS  OF 
HISTORY — ^DISPBOPOETION  BETWEEN  THE 
OFFENSE  AND  TfeE  PENALTY. 
From  the  Fail  Matt  GazetU, 

The  tmth  about  the  agitation  for  the  abolition 
of  the  death  penalty  is  that  in  our  age  a  Tery  natural 
reaction  against  the  eroelties  of  40  centuries  has  not 
yet  spent  its  force,  and  reactlona  proverbially  sin  in 
the  direction  of  excess.  N"o  wonder  that  we,  still  leas 
that  our  Immediate  ancestors,  should  sometimes  have 
erred  by  too  fond  a  clemraicy,  for  our  remote  ances- 
tors were  horribly  cruel,  though  it  has  been  urged 
in  their  defense  th&t  moral  indigtiation  was  a 
stronger  force  with  them  than  it  is  with  us. 
Whatever  may  be  the  ralno  of  this  apology, 
certain  it  is  that  our  fathers  of  pre-Chnstian,  of 
mediaeval,  and  even  of  later  times,  wrote  history 
in  letters  of  blood  and  fire.  It  la  horrible  to  think  of 
the  ingenuity  once  displayed  by  men  In  deviklnc  tor- 
ments for  one  another,  though  haply  a  fnture  genera- 
tion may  find  not  loss  cause  for  wonder  In  thinking 
of  the  skill  and  patience  shown  by  men  of  the 
present  day  in  centriving  engines  for  destroying  life  at 
a  distance  of  five  nulf  s  or  for  sinking  a  ship  with  a 
crew  of  500  men  at  three  minutes'  notice.  It  is  really 
quite  a  pity  that  persons  with  a  taste  for  "  atrocities  " 
should  trouble  themselves  to  make  journeys  to  the 
hot  and  comfortless  East  on  the  chance  of  seelnj^  or 
hearing  of  a  bastinado,  or  to  investigate  a  fabulous 
story  concerning  an  impalement,  when  our  own  his- 
tory, OS  well  as  that  of  all  other  nations,  is  so  rich 
In  well-authentieated  stories  of  the  same  kind. 

fiome  of  the  most  cruel  punishments  ever  inflicted 
were  no  donbt  the  result  of  a  burst  of  indignation 
agaln<:t  some  peculiar  or  novel  crime,  and  are  not  al- 
together so  discreditable  to  human  nature  as  might 
be  supposed.  They  wore,  in  truth,  very  much  akin 
to  the  emotional  legislation  of  the  present  day.  The 
4|>uke  of  Somerset  described  a  recent  Act  ef  Parlia- 
ment as  the  fruit  of  a  fit  of  hysterics.  In  the  six- 
teenth century  au  act  to  deal  with  the  some  evils 
would  probably  have  prescribed  some  barbarous  pun- 
ishments for  negligent  ship-owners.  Tlius,  In  tho  reign 
of  Henry  VTII.,  society  was  profoundly  moved  at  hear- 
ing that  the  Bishop  of  Rochester's  cook  had  poisoned 
17  persons.  True,  only  two  of  the  17  died,  but 
society  nevertheless  manag»*d  to  get  Itwlf  into  that 
frame  of  mind  whichXx>rdHelboume  so  wisely  dreaded, 
and  which  demands  that  "  something  "  shall  be  done. 
Tho  somethine  done  in  the  year  of  grace  1581  was 
to  pass  a  bill  thronah  both  Houses  of  Parliament 
awarding  the  penalty  of  1>olling  to  death  to 
persons  guilty  of  so  awful  a  crime.  The 
act  was  even  made  retrospective,  and  the 
unfortunate  Richard  Roose.  otherwise  Coke,  duly 
expiated  his  sins  in  this  horrible  fashion.  In  1542, 
Margaret  Dav^'.  a  young  woman,  suffered  in  tho 
same  manner  for  a  sunilar  crime.  It  is  only  fair  to 
the  memory  of  the  generation  which  laid  the  founda- 
tions of  our  relUrious  freedom  to  remember  that  the 
cruel  act  was  repealed  in  1547.  But  how  stem  was 
tho  temper  of  the  age  may  be  gathered  from  a  pas- 
sage in  one  of  Latimer's  sermons — a  sentence 
of  which,  by  the  way,  might  have  been 
quoted  with  effect  in  the  Empress-<5oeen  con- 
troversy of  last  year.  "Cambyses  wasa  creatJEmperor, 
such  another  as  our  master  is.  He  had  many  Lord 
Deputies.  LoVd  Presidents,  and  Lieutenants  under 
him.  It  is  a  great  while  ago  -•dnc^  I  read  the  his- 
tory. It  chanced  he  had  under  him,  in  one  of  his  do- 
minions, a  briber,  a  gift-taker,  a  gratifier  of  rich 
raen  :  he  followed  gifts  as  fast  as  h«^  that  followed 
the  pudding,  a  hondmaker  in.  his  of&co  to  mdlce  his 
son  a  greatman.  As  the  old  saying  is:  'Happylsthe 
child  whose  father  goeth  te  the  Devil.'  The  cry  of  the 
poor  widow  came  to  the  Empf  rors  ear,  and  caused  him 
to  flay  the  Judge  quick,  and  laid  his  skin  in  the  chair 
of  judgment,  that  all  Judges  that  should  give  judg- 
ment afterward  should  sit  in  the  same  skin.  Ipray 
God  we  may  once  see  the  skin  in  Eneland."  There 
seems  no  reason  to  suppose  that  lAtlmer  spoke  half 
in  jest,  spectator  as  he  may  have  been  of  punish- 
ments  almost  equally  frightful. 

What  strikes  one  most  obout  tho  justice  of  tho 
good  old  times  is  the  ntter  disproportion  between  the 
offense  and  the  penalty  which  is  too  often  to  be 
f<iund.  Thus,  we  read  that  in  the  year  l*i2S  "two 
dyers  of  Exeter  were  fl<^ged  for  tea/'hlng  their  art  in 
the  north"  (of  England.)  Obviously  the  offense 
In  question,  if  there  were  offense,  was  one 
which  only  called  at  the  most  for  an  action  of 
tort.  Again,  in  1572  (by  14  Elii.,  c.  ,5» 
it  was  enacted  that  "  sturdy  beirgars"  ehould  be 
"  grievously  whipped  and  bumiMl  through  the  right 
ear."  If  caught  a  third  time  at  their  occupation  of 
"sturdy"  beJEKing.  they  "were  to  be  haneed.  How 
lupu  have  in  abnost  all  ages  been  barbarously  pun- 
i.sbed  for  holdinc  opinions  which  had  scarcely  any  in- 
fluence on  their  lives,  Ls  perhaps  the  most  melancholy ' 
as  it  is  the  most  undoubted  fart  in  history.  The 
King  of  Brobdingnag  a-sked  Gulliver  what  were  tho 
causes  of  war  among  men  ;  and  Gidliver  answered 
that  one  of  them  "was  a  difference  of  opinion  as  to 
whether  the  juice  of  a  certain  berry  were  -wnne 
or  whether  it  were  blood.  Human  pnnishments 
have  been  multiplied  through  that  same  sterile 
controversy.  Sometimes,  however,  ecclesiastical  au- 
thorities have  found  themselves  in  trouble;  yetitia 
with  mingled  feelings  that  one  loams  that  "80  in- 
tractable Bishops"  are  s.iid  to  havp  been  drowned  by 
order  of  an  Eastern  Em.peror  in  370.  or  reads  of  the 
remarkable  veneeance  taken  by  one  of  tho  Plan- 
tagenets  upon  a  French  Dean  and  Oiapter  who  had 
elected  a  Bishop  without  consulting  him  on  the  sub- 
je<-t.  Apropos  of  clerics  and  laics  we  are  confidently 
assured  that  a  canon  law  of  the  English  Church, 
pa'yspd  in  the  year  747,  forbade  drunkenness  in  tho 
clerg>-.  It  wa.s  apparently  thought  a  hopeless  busi- 
ness to  forbid  laj-men  tbat  pleasure,  and  yet  Con- 
5t«niine  II.,  King  of  Scotlajid,  who  "flourished" 
from  858  to  874,  is  said  to  have  punished  drunken- 
ness with  death.  Another  ob\-ious  flaw  in  very 
ancient  justice  was  that  innocent  and  guilty 
were  frequently  inrolvcd  in  the  same  ruin. 
The  fate  which  overtook  Achan's  familv 
must  have  overtaken  thousands  of  others.  "An^. 
Joshua,  and  all  Israel  with  him.  took  Achon.  the  son 
of  Zorah.  and  the  silver,  and  tho  garment,  and  the 
wedge  of  gold,  and  Ms  sons,  and  his  daughters,  and 
his  o.xen.  and  his  asses,  and  his  sheep,  and  his  tent, 
and  all  that  he  had  •  •  •  and  burned  them  with 
fire,  after  thev  had  stoned  them  ■with  Btone-s."  Equally 
unjust  was  the  punishment  awarded  to  parricides  in 
sncient>  Rome,  at  least  under  the  Itepublic  ;  though 
il  may  be  hoped  that  only  Lucius  Ostins.  who  has  the 
unen\-iable  reputation  of  having  been  the  first  ftoinan 
found  guiltv  of  that  crime,  actually  suffered  the  full 
penalty  of  tfie  law.  He  was  first  scouiwd,  then  sewn 
up  in  a  leathern  sack  with  a  doc.  a  cock,  a  viper,  and 
an  ape,  all  alive.  The  bag  and  its  animate  contents 
werti  then  cast  into  the  sea.  Xow,  it  would  be  ad- 
mitted by  all  in  the  present  day  that  the  doc.  the 
cfK'.k.  and  the  ape  were  hardly  dealt  with,  and  even  a 
viper  may  be  supposed  to  have  its  rights. 
.  Some  Princes  have  made  punishments  quite  amus- 
Inc — to  all  except  the  person  most  concerned.  Thus 
l^on  Carlos,  son  of  Philip  IL,  Irritated  at  the  pain 
caused  him  by  a  pair  of  tight  boots,  had  thorn  cut  up 
and  -served  in  a  stew,  which  the  unfortunate  boot- 
maker was  compelled  to  eat  to  the  last  morsel-  Be- 
fore we  condemn  tho  Prince  of  Spain  for  cruelty,  we 
should  each  try  to  call  to  mind  our  own  feelings  when 
wearing  tight  boots.  Most  of  us  have  probably 
wished  the  maker  of  them  in  a  much  worse  position 
than  the  "purveyor  to  his  Royal  Highness.'  Wo 
fear  it  was  no  other  than  the  "good"  Haroun-al- 
Raschid  who.  from  very  much  the  same  con- 
fused Ideas  on  tho  subject  of  retributive  justice  as 
troubled  the  bndn  of  Don  Carlos,  had  a  baker  baked 
in  his  own  oven  for  sellinc  adulterated  bread  to 
tho  people.  But  perhaps  at  once  the  most  ludicrous 
and  the  most  temble  punishment  ever  imagiued  was 
that  which  an  unfortunate  gentleman,  who  rejiided  at 
St.  Petersburg  in  the  reUm  Of  Catherine  II.,  had 
reason  for  a  short  time  l<»  expect  as  his  fate.  The 
Storj-  is  an  instructive  one.  as  showing  what  a  resi- 
dent in  Russia  believed  to  be  qnite  possible  at  a  time 
almost  within  the  memory  of  men  still  living.  S^gur 
describes  thQ  hero  of  the  narrative  as  a  stranger, 
naturalized  in  Russia.  Suderland  bv  name,  and  banker 
by  professioir.  Ver>'  likely  his  real  name  was  Suther- 
land, and  hLs  nationality  Scotch  or  English.  He 
stood  high  in  the  favor  of  the  Erapre-<!s,  who  had  de- 
posited considerable  sums  of  money  with  him. 
Ono  morning  a  servimt  came  and  told  ilr.  Suderland 
that  the  house  was  surrounded  with  soldiers,  and 
that  an  officer  of  Police  desired  to  speak  to  him. 
The  officer,  whose  name  was  Reliew.  next  entered 
and  informed  tho  hanker  that  their  "m^st  gracious  " 
Sovereign  had  charge<l  him  to  execute  an  order  the 
severity  of  which  positively  frightened  hlra.  He 
then  tried  to  break  the  news  gently,  alloiving  the 
ttcltftted  banker  to  put  one  question  after  another. 
"  Is  it  Siberia?"  Suderland  at  length  faltered. 
"  AlasI  one  returns  from  Siberia,"  answered  Reliew. 
"Prison  J"  "One  comes  out  of  prison."  "Good  God! 
I  am  not  to  be  knouted ! '  "  The  knout  is 
terrible,  but  does  not  kill."  (He  should  have  said. 
"does  not  always  kill")  "Is  my  life,  then,  in 
peril  V  idmost  sobbed  the  hanker ;  "the  Empress  so 
goort  so  clement — ^bnt  let  me  know  the  worst." 
"  Wfll,  my  dear  friend,"  qtioth  the  officer  in  a  dole- 
fnl  voice,  "ray  most  gracious  sovereign  has  com- 
manded me  to 'have  you  stuffed."  The  unhappy  part 
of  the  affoirwas  that  Reliew,  though  a  kind-heaitcd 
man,  iw>uld  not  admit  that  he  conld  have  mis- 
taken the  Czarina's  injunctions,  which,  moreover, 
ho  had  eWdently  no  intention  of  disobeying.  In 
vain  the  banker  expostulated,  implored,  p'rotesteil. 
Reliew  was  sure  there  was  no  error.  He  had  indeed, 
he  said,  |Ventured  to  say  to  her  Mojesty  that  the  com- 
mand wras  a  strange  one,  and  had  made  appeal  to  her 
well-known  clemency,  but  she  had  cut  short  his  first 
sentence  with  the  remark,  impatiently  uttered,  that 
bis  duty  was  to  obey  orders  and  not  to  comment  on 
them.  At  length,  however,  Reliew  so  far  overcame 
his  own  fears  as  to  agree  to  carry  a  note  to  the  Em- 
press. Even  as  he  went  his  heart  foiled  him, 
and  he  repaired  instead  to  the  honse  of  Count  Bruce, 
who.  on  hearing  the  story,  thought  the  officer  of  Po- 
lice niiust  be  mad.  Hasteninjc  to  tlie  palace,  Count 
Bruce  demanded  and  obtained  an  audienoo  of  the 
Empress  ;  and  it  need  hardly  be  added  that  then  at 
length  the  mystery  was  solved.  Her  Majesty  had 
jUHt  lost  a  beautiftu  dog,  the  gift  of  the  banker ;  and 
called  after  him,  "Suderland."  Of  course,  it  was 
the  dead  favorite,  and  not  his  quondam  master,  who 
was  to  be  stuffed.  But  why  should  an  officer  of  Po- 
lice be  asked  to  superintend  the  srn^ng  of  a  dead 
doffi  It  was  not  poor  Reliew  who  was  altogether  to 
blame  for  the  fright  occasioned  to  a  most  respectable 
banker.

THE  DTEVITABLE  BORE  BCKE  TO  COMS 
IN  THE  2fEAB  FUTURE, 

jFVom.  the  MiUcaxiiee  (Wis.)  Sentind. 

Not  least  among  the  calamities  catised  by  t}^ 
strike  is  the  eye-witness.  Tracks  will  be  relaid,  de* 
pots  rebuilt,  locomotives  and  freight  cars  reeoiu 
stmcted,  trains  remanned,  and  the  great  streams  ofi 
commerce  will  move  on  as  before.  The  danger  ovar, 
the  members  of  Militia  companies  who  were  takeq 
deathly  sick  will  recover,  and  those  who  were  ealle^ 
anddenlyfrom  homo  will  return.  Tlie  striker  will  h^ 
a  tradition  and  the  mob  a  mere  memory.  The  re- 
porters will  lay  aside  the  gory  pencils  with  "which 
they  slew  thousands  at  all  the  great  railroad  centres, 
and  the  telegraph  operators  will  return  to  the  peooe- 
ful  avocations  of  infrequent  dispafhes  and  10-cent 
draw.  But  the  eye-wiiness  will  not  disappear.  Ho 
will  haunt  newi.paner  offices.  He  will  brook  in  on 
quiet  families  as  thev  sit  around  smudge  flres  boili 
for  the  benefit  of  the  stuasonrtble  mutrjuito.  He  "will 
be  multitudinous  on  free-lunch  routes,  and  a  bor« 
e\-erywhere. 

We  have  studied  his  nature  and  habits  with  care, 
for  he  has  given  frequent  opportunities,  and  we  oro 
convinced  that  being  on  eye-witness  is  only  one  of 
his  phases.  He  has  many  others.  He  began  life  as 
"the  lirst  wliite  child  "  bom  in  any  given  Western 
town-  In  gome  towns  he  makes  up 'nearly  one-half 
the  population.  Madistm,  in  this  State,  Ls  a  notabla 
example,  lly  actual  count  there  are  in  that  %-iIlaao 
35  "first  white  children."  It's  tho  onlv  capiial 
some  of  them  have,  and  they  get  along  very  well  on, 
it.  An  odd  feature  in  many  of  their  cases  Is  that 
while  each  could  get  a  number  of  reputable  old  riti- 
zens  to  .swear  that  he  was  the  "  first  white  chiW,"  ho 
could  horly  tind  A:iy  one  reckless  enough  to  say  that  | 
he  has  grown  up  a  white  man. 

But  this,  we  take  It.  Is  greatly  due  to  his  after  hi*. 
tory-  When  in  8**hool  he  did  all  the  smart  and  dan- 
gerous thincs.  Ho  plaved  the  trick  and  the  other 
fellow  got  the  licking.  Ho  saw  mad  dogs  and  escaped 
their  fangs  by  hi-s  own  rlevemessr  and  when  fishing 
he  always  saw  sea  serpents  and  things  of  a  monstmos 
kind.  When  he  came  of  age  ho  began  rolling  the 
easting  vote  in  electioiuj  carried  by  one  majority.  Ho 
has  sent  men  to  Congres-s  elected  Governor*,  and 
even  chosen  a  President,  by  this  wonderful  faculty. 
And  he  frequently  traveled  great  distances  and  sut*  ' 
fered  considerable  los5<-s  lo  rast  that  vote. 

He  "went  into  business  and  always  had  most  niar- 
Telons  financial  ewajws.  Sometimes  he  T\-as  lucfcy, 
at  others  unlucky,  liut  ahvaj-s  remarkable.  When 
banks  were  breaking  he  was  always  the  last  man  to 
draw  his  deposits  before  tho  doors  closed.  I.*tp<» 
counterfeits  wen*  nevi-r  discovert  till  they  had  Mft 
his  possession.  But  he  aUvavs  missed  his  mark  in 
real  e-stata.  Ho  wa,s  implorfnl  to  take  tho  best  comer 
lot  in  each  city  and  village  in  tho  West  for  "tho 
price  of  a  pa'.r'of  boot.s."  If  he  had  only  foreeeen, 
the  changes  ahead  he  ''onld  have  had  a  quarter  sec- 
tion in  the  heart  of  the  '*ily.  as  easy  as  not.  He'd 
have  been  a  millionaire  if  he  had  token  the  chances. 

In  the  army  it  was  the  roan  npxt  to  bim  that  wa« 
shot,  always-     His  cheek  was  often  grazed,  but  Uia  i 
other  fellow's  brains  were  distribuKM.    He  was  tha 
first  man  in  a  charge,  and  the  last  to  surrender.    Ho 
pulled  down  the  enemy's  flag  and  ran  up  ours,  ihotigb, 
it  was  no  part  of  his  duty  to  do  either.    He  shone  at 
fires  and  railway  disasters.    Last  to  leave  a  burning 
hotel  or  steam-boat,  he  was  first  to  discover  a  leak  in 
the  reservoir  or  the  approarli  of  a  tornado.    He  waa;^ 
numerous  at  the  great  Chicago  conflagration,   and'^ 
crossed  each  of  tiie  l»ridires  as  it  tottered  to  its  falL 

He  has  had  a  dull  time  of  it  lately,  and  till  the 
strike  occurred  wa^  not  much  in  demand.  The  old 
stories  were  prowinp  stale  and  drinks  precoriotj*.  > 
There  was  a  vast  shrinkage  in  his  market  ^-alue.  and 
we  ore  not  quite  certiUa  that  he  was  not  at  the  bot- 
torn  of  the  strike.  Certainly  it's  nuts  for  him.  Ho 
stood  in  danger's  van,  saw  all  th^  carnage.  an«l 
reveled  in  gore:  Ho  became  the  terrible  "eve-wit-i 
ness,"  and  his  talo  is  in  all  the  papers.  In  Chieaeo 
he  saw  the  streets  run  red  with  blood;  he  saw  the^ 

fupe  and  canister  rammed  home,  felt  it  almost  grozei 
is  cheek,  and  cast  his  uninjured  but  appalled  eye 
down  the  swaths  nf  slain. 

We  have  no  wish  to  rob  him  of  his  pleastrre  or  his' 
occupation.  Be  will  circulate  and  tell  his  story,  and 
It  will  grow  more  blood-curdling  and  boring  as  he 
proceeds.  But  we  must  lift  up  our  voice  in  warning 
against  film,  for  wc  regard  bim  as  too  multitudinotta 
and  iinreliable. 


SJ.X  FRAyCISCO    COMMITTEE    OF  SXFETT. 
On  the  25th.   of    July    tho    newly-organized  ' 
Committee  of  Safety  in  San  Francisco  issued  the  fol- 
lowing address  to  the  citizens  to  explain  its  objects : 

CiTiZKN's  or  San  FHxyrisro :  *The  Committee  of 
Pnblic  Safety,  elected  by  yesterday's  meeting  at  the 
Chamber  of  CommertTe.  aro  receivint;  additional  en- 
rollments of  good  people,  and  deem  it  wi.se  to  an- 
nounce the  motives  and  purposes  of  the  oi^nization- 
Recent  events  demonstrate  that  dampers  environ  us, 
wldch  may  render  it  necessary  for  the  authorities  to 
use  more  force  than  tliey  have  hitherto  had  at  their 
disposal.  Tlie  m^r^  organization  of  thi.H  force 
will  probably  prevent  any  occarrenco  demand- 
ing Its  O'tlve  efforts.  Both  as  a  prevenriva 
and  remedy.  tht-n.  Its  existence  is  abso- 
lutely necessarv.  We  have  encouraged  all  good 
citizens  to  enroll  and  prepare  for  actii^»n.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  organization  is  to  sustain  the  constituted 
authorities,  undertaking  no  duty  not  immediately 
connected  with  the  securing  of  life  and  property. 
It  embraces  citizens  of  nil  sc'ts  and  all  parties,  ' 
holding  all  shades  of  opinion,  t^ach  r^ady,  in  tho 
presence  of  danger  to  ilio  puldic  welfare,  to  lay 
aside  all  differences,  and  to  refrain  for  a  time  from 
urging  individual  views.  In  common  with  all  tha 
inhabitants  of  tho  State,  we  are  embarrassed  by 
what  is  properly  called  the  Ciiine.se  question,  and 
are  most  desirous  tn  see  its  early  solution  in  a  man- 
ner satisfactory  to  our  whol**  people.  We  ail  re&lizQ 
alike  the  difficulties  by  which  it  is  surrounded-  But, 
however  desirable  it  may  appear  that  this  disturbing 
element  should  finally  be  withdrawn  and  removed 
from  our  mMst,  we  are  unanimous  in  the  conviction 
tliat  violence  will  not  hasten  its  proner  adjustment, 
and  may  produce  Incalculable  injury  to  all-  Th« 
public  peace  and  security  to  life  and  propertv  in  this 
city  shall  be  maintained  and  protected  at  all  bazards. 
In  this  purpose  every  good  citizen  must  concur,  and 
we  seek  the  membership  and  active  co-operation  o£ 
all  such-

PARADE  OF  THE  JH^ERVED  FORCE  PBff 
POSED. 
The  St.  Louis  R^.puhlic^n  of  Monday  threw 
out  this  suggestion  to  the  local  authorities :  "Would 
it  be  asking  too  much  of  the  bravo  defenders  of  our, 
homes  and  firesides,  the  Provisional  Militia  that 
eprang  into  existence  almost  between  two  suns,  to 
request  a  general  parade  some  day  this  week  ?  Such 
a  parade  would  have  a  value  beyond  that  of  ordinary 
processions,  for  it  would  show  ^he  lawless  that  tho 
strength  of  the  force  so  hurriedly  organized  for  the 
repression  of  disorder  has  not  been  tnany  degree 
exaggerated.  The  HepubUcan  foated  on"  Friday 
morning  that  there  was  an  organized  force,  in- 
cluding Militia,  Police,  and  Federal  soldiers,  of  at 
least  o.OOO  in  St.  Louis ;  but  subsequent  informa- 
tion justifies  the  statement  that  the  organized  force 
exceeds  7,000,  and  that  verj*  nearly  lO.OOO  armed 
men  in  the  a^O'egate  would  be  at  the  command  of 
the  authorities  by  the  close  <■!  the  week.  It  will  be  a 
wholesome  lesson  to  tho  disorderly  classes  to  civn 
them  a  sight  -of  tlils  body  of  determined,  resoluifl 
men,  that  they  may  see  tho  reserved  force  that  caa 
be  called  into'  service  at  a  moment's  warning  when 
the  emej^ency  demands.  They  will  see  that  theyare 
men  who  make  the  bext  of  soldiers  at  short  notioe, 
and  that  they  carry  the  best  arms  known.  &a^ 
a  parade  will  go  a  loni^  way  toward  setting  the  seal  o£ 
order  on  the  turbulent  and  insuring  the  commtinlty 
against  a  strcond  outbreak." 


SEW  BIRDS  IS  SET  AD  A. 
The  Virginia  f Nevada)  Enterprise  says :  "Pei* 
sons  who  are  cultivating  trees,  gardens,  and  smaO 
patches  of  ground  outside  of  the  city  and  along  the 
canons,  where  are  [dwelling  tho  families  of  those 
employed  in  the  mills,  say  that  birds  of  several  species 
hitherto  not  seen  in  this  part  of  the  tountry  are  be. 
ginniug  to  come  in  and  make  their  homes  about  their 
places.  Among  these  ^re  the  oriole  or  hong-bird, 
blue  bird.«,  and  -w-rens.  The  now-comer*^appear  to 
be  attracted  by  the  trees,  fruit,  grain,  and  seeds  that 
are  being  grown.  About  the  large  condensing  pond 
below  the  Consolidated  Vir^ia  mill  the  twitter  ot 
swallows  is  to  be  heard,  and  the  birds  may  be  seen 
skimming  along  over  the  water.  They  were  proba- 
bly attracted  to  the  spot  by  the  facilities  for  obtaining 
food  which  tbe  pond  offers  In  the  insects  frequenliHg 
it.  Some  of  the  immigrant  birds  have  been  caufrhi. 
in  traps.  The  Bassett  clnldreu.  In  .Seven-mile  Can- 
yon, have  caught  one  of  a  kind  unknown  to  any  per- 
son living  in  tho  neighborhood.  It  is  described  as 
being  of  a  slate-color  on  the  bock,  with  red  breast  and 
wings,  and  is  said  to  squall  like  a  cjtt."

'Nothing  but  inability  to  proctire  freicbt  compels

not  to  go  to  New-York,  however,  but  will  be  with-

IVBST^y  FINANCIAL  FALLACIES. 

fHE  DREAD  OP  THE  EESmPTIOK  OF  SPEpIE 
PAYMENTS— SOMETHINQ  OP  THE  FINAN- 
CIAL HISTORY  OP    THE  WESTERN  STATES. 

ib  the  Editor  of  Vu  Sevo-  York  Times  : 

Those  who  travel  in  the  Western  States  for 
fhe  first  time  viU  he  astonished  to  le&m  to  what  an 
extent  th^  greenback  heresy  prevails.  The  reasons 
for  this  dtead'Of  resomptioQ  of  specie  payments,  this 
hostilily  to  contraction,  the  attacks,  more  or  less 
open,  on  the  national  credit  are  various,  and  some  of 
them  are  in  a  measure  local  and  peculiar  to  the 
section.  The  war  hronght  to  them  no  suspension  of 
fpede  payments,  except  In  theory.  Gold  or  silver. 
fts  a  cnrrenc^,  were  never  considerably  nwd,  hut 
^stead  a  system  of  wild-cat  banking  supplied  them 
[With  shinplasters  of  variable  and  questionable 
piarlcet  value.  To  illustrate  the  character  of  this 
icircnlattng  medinm  I  have  purposely  avoided  going 
to  a  remote  date,  when  the  white  man  was  battling 
[With  the  Indians  for  a  foothold,  when  settlements 
rwere  few  and  scattered,  and  society  and  government 
ja  a  transition  state  and  undergoing  the  process  of 
organizatiou,  but  instead  quote  from  a  recent  author- 
ity, but  three  years  anterior  to  the  great  <uvil  war, 
to-wit,  The  XEwYoRKTnrESof  Feb.  27,  1S53.  and 
.  Observe  that  the  currency  of  several  States  is  quoted 
as  follows: 

Obio  aQ4  Indiana IX^         discount. 

Michigan , '2  discount. 

Uttnoia  and  Wtsfonsin ^&3\i  discount. 

In  other  wonds,  T#heu  these  great  Commonwealths 
bad  long  enjoyed  staple  municipal  government ; 
when  free  schools  were  everywhere  established ; 
when  they  were  blessed  with  an  extended  railway 
and  t^egraph  s«^tem,  and  the  communities  rich  and 
t>ro3peron3,  the  promises  of  their  bankers.  Issued  un- 
der the  safeguards  of  law.  and  payable  at  sight,  when- 
ever and  by  whomsoever  it  might  be  demanded,  conld 
not  be  sold  in  the  City  of  New- York  except  at  a  dU- 
coimt— not  merely  a  nominal  one  to  cover  cost  of 
collection,  but  sufficiently  large  to  cover  a  heavy 
risk.  The  figures  quoted  do  not  exactly  state  the 
case.  They  were  for  the  best  class  of  issues,  there 
b^g  also  constantly  iu  circWutiou  a  large  amount 
of  paper  which  had  no  quotable  value,  and  wliich 
every  one  handled  at  his  peril.  The  business  of  deal- 
ing in  money  became  a  science.  Every  merchant 
Was,  of  necessity,  sometUins  of  a  broker.  lig 
roust  not  only  scrutinizo  -cverj'  bill  offered 
to  avoid  the  numerood  counterfeit  issuc-s. 
but  also  to  satisfy  himself  as  to  the 
polvency  of  the  pjirtiealar  corporation  ia- 
puing  the  paper,  and  his  sacce.-*s  ia  business 
(depended  very  m.iteriaUy  on  the  correctness  of  bis 
information  and  the  sounduess  of  his  judgment  on 
this  point.  Probably  it  would  not  be  too  niach  to 
pay  that  the  currency  handled  by  the  retailer  or 
fCarmer  of  20  years  ae^>  was  worth  on  an  average  less 
;than  90  ^cents  on  the  dollar.  If  he  traveled  east- 
Wari  he  w.is  careful  to  ex.chauge  his  'Western  money 
as  fast  as  he  conld ;  while  on  his  return,  if  of  a  spec- 
tiiacive  turn,  he  would  buy  up  "Western  money  and 
take  it  home  with  him.  The  system  of  bankimr 
of  these  days  was  a  m,ost  vicious  one.  Tbe  laws 
were  ill-considered.  Undt-r  them  unprincipled  spec- 
ulators would  set  up  what  they  called  a  banking  in- 
stitution, and  run  it  in  a  sort  of  free-and-easy  way. 
the  principal  things  to  be  attended  to  being  first  to 
Js5ue  as  many  bills  as  they  could,  and,  secondly,  to 
get  them  as  far  away  from  home  as  possible.  They 
would  often  take  care  to  locate  their  *•  bank  "  at 
Bome  out-of-the-way  place,  remote  from  railway  and 
jteleeraphic  commanication,  in  order  that  the  holders 
of  their  paper  might  find  it  difficult  to  make  their  de- 
mands. If  a  stray  note  should  fiud  its  way  back 
they  must,  of  course,  either  actually  pay  it  or  go 
through,  the  form  of  duiug  so.  liy  giving  in 
exchange  ^  the  note  of  a  like  institution,  but 
if  any  general  demand  was  made,  they 
must  "suspend"'  as  a  matter  of  course.  Here  was 
a  depreciated  currency  with  a  venffcauce,  and  it  is 
Bo  wonder  that  when  the  national  ^-urreury  -was 
Introduced  it  very  soon  becamn  popular.  It  could 
pot  bo  contrasted  with  gold  and  silvt-r.  as  they  hod 
never  used  these  metals  as  a  rirculating  medium. 
[The  bills  were  not  easily  counterfeited,  were  current 
everywhere  without  question,  and  Ions  used  as  they 
liad  been  to  a  paper  currency  that  w;is  vicious  and 
^vhoUy  bad,  the  comparisoa  was,  In  e\-erj'  sense,  in 
lavor  of  the  national  issii*  s. 

*  Here,  then,  are  some  of  the  considerations  which 
have  led  the  "Western  peoplo  to  have  a  liliin^  for  the 
graenback  currency,  and  it  is  not  strange  that  the 
tulbig  political  party  claimed  the  credit  of  its  intro- 
duction. Even  the  tiltra- Democrats,  those  who  had 
sympathized  with  the  rebellion,  suUeu  and  sore,  and 
Ux  a  measure  a  race  proscribed,  got  tired  of  denotinc- 
|ng  them  as  "Lincoln's  rags.''  They  became  reeon- 
cUed.  to  the  touch  of  what  they  bad  declared  was  con- 
tamination- In  short,  when  the  old  State  bank  and 
Wild-cat  systems  fell  almost  at  a  stroke,  that  which 
Bupplanted  them  was  vastly  better  and,  of  course, 
toore  popular  as  to  system  and  manner.  But  what 
Biay  bo  a  superior  tiling  by  way  of  comparison 
la  ;  not  necessarily  an  excellent  one  considered 
on  ,  its  »  merits,  and  .  herein  is  the  mistake 
that  was  made  in  thinking  the  issue  of 
greenbacks  wise  or  statesmanlike.  But  whatever 
opinion  may  exist  as  to  the  propriety  of  issuing  them 
In  the  first  instance'rin  limited  amounts,  and  retir- 
ing them  as  soon  as  the  national  peril  was  passed,  it 
Is  certainly  a  more  serious  and  Important  question 
to  deal  with  them  when  they  have  been  issued  in 
vast  amounts,  when  important  factions  aud  great 
political  parties  are  clamoring  for  further  issues,  or, 
Kt  least,  against  any  actual  attempt  to  reduce  the 
Volume  of  the  paper  currency.  Vnder  the  stminlus 
of  these  issues  an  era  of  seeming  prosperity,  of 
^*  good  times"  was  set  agoing.  Production  increased, 
railroads  were  built,  viUages  laid  out  and  almost  in 
.m  night  became  ambitious  arid  thriving  cities. .  .Some- 
thing of  this  was  seen  in  every  part  of  the  country ; 
tral  m  the  West  it  was  more  general,  there  being  in 
the  Eastsome.staid  old  communities  which  the  apirit 
erf  speculation  nevev  Invaded.  Counties  were  laid 
out,  not  because  they  were  needed,  but  because 
there  were  ambitious  politicians  seeking  oflBce,  and 
real  estate  sptoculators  were  anxiotls  to  sell  lots  at 
the  ineritable  '*  county  seat."  Kailrnads  were  built, 
not  because  there  was  any  one  to  travel  upon  them, 
or  any  freight  to  carrv,  but  because  tiiere  was 
a  profit  la  building  them,  and  there  were  com- 
munities unscrupulous  and-  thoufjhtless  enough  to 
mortgage  the  eaminK?*  of  fiiinre  getiiTationa  to  raise 
the  money.  This  aban'dant  currency,  joined  to  the 
effects  of  a  heavy  protectivo  tariCF,  utimulated  manu- 
fecturing.  Establishments  multiplied.  At  every 
town  ambitious  for  growth  stock  companies  were 
xirganized,  and  large  shops  buUt  to  maku  somethings 
'Whatthe  fabric  or  product  wax  of  but  little  eondb- 
quence,  nor  did  they  stop  to  consider  whether  they 
^ad  tlie  necessuy  capital,  the  special  quaUflcations, 
the  general  business  skill  aud  experience,  or  whether 
the  time  was  auspicious  or  the  place  suitable.  To 
2dm  who  was  skeptical  on  those  points,  it  was  a  suf- 
ficient answer  that  Lowell,  Taunton,  La^vrence,  and 
Worcester,  tliat  Pittsburg  and  Cleveland  had  become 

Cand  prosperous  by  engaging  in  manufactures, 
mania  for  manufacturing,  this  itch  for  industry. 
Was  by  -no  means  peculiar  to  the  West.  It  was  au 
epidemic  which  raged  elsewhere,  but  .the  general 
communitv  was  less  drawn  into,  and  at  the  inevitable 
collapse  of  these  foolish  and  uncalled-for  enterprises, 
Koffei^d  less.  In  every  village,  town,  and  city 
vtores  and  Bhops  moJtiplietl,  increased  household 
iexpenditure  was  almost  unavoidable,  the  c^bin  and 
itimble  dwelling  gave  way  to  the  mansion,  public  ex- 
^nditure  and  taxation  increased  at  an  alarming 
Xate,  and  even  the  Church  caught  the  infection, 
'and  the  unpretending  moetinE-house  must  give  way 
to  the  costly  edifice  with  towering  spires.  In  short, 
all  .the  ordinary  sources  of  exj>eudlture  were  In  full 
operation,  and,  last  but  not  least,  comes  upon  the 
pcena  the  irrepres-sible  cjiuvasser.  he  of  the  dark 
Ways,  vain  tricks,  and  peculiar  smiles,  and  succeeded 
In  disposing  of  his  reapers  and  mowers,  his  hars-est- 
ers     and   fanning- mills,     wind-engines  i  and    horse- 

g>wers,  sewing  machines  and  cabinet  organs,  family 
Ibles,  chibmos,  and  county  atlases,  insurance  poli- 
cies, patent  rights,  and  light  ning-ro<ls  in  vast  num- 
bers and  at  extravagant  prices,  mostly  to  people  who 
hadn't  the  money  to  spare  and  whose  notes  of  hand 
Were  sold  at  a  heavy  discount ;  and  hence,  every- 
where, save  the  forttinute  few  who  bought  only 
What  they  needed  and  could  pay  for,  everybody  was 
In  debt.  The  extent  of  this  may  be  judged  from 
a  single  cotmty  in  Indiana  selected  at  random, 
sad  of  average  wealth,  containing  no  large  town. 
One  insurance  company  had.  two  years  ago,  loaned, 
taostly  to  farmers,  over  $100, OOO  at  10  per  cent,  iu- 
,t«rest,  which  runs  on  even  while  they  sfeep.  and  no 
matter  whether  the  flood  drowns  or  drought  withers, 
the  bond  holds  fast,  sucking  up  the  substance  of 
What  they  earn.  Such  people  are,  of  course,  in  a 
Bad  plight,  and  the  politicians  were  not  slow  in  ex- 
tending their  sympathy,  (f)  and  as  it  is  always  easy 
to  persuade  a  man  that  somebody  else  is  responsible 
for  his  misfortunes,  they  made  the  Government  the 
scapegoat.  It  would  not  do  for  a  professionfd  dema- 
gogue to  tell  the  people  that  their  troubles  came 
Upon  them  ihrougn  a  very  plethora  of  money,  and 
hy  their  own  imprudence,  and  so  they  started  a 
cumor  against  resumption.  In  a  community  largely 
composed  of  the  debtor  class  it  is  easy  and  popular 
to  tidk  of  the  oppressions  of  capital,  and  to  picture 
In  flaming  colors  the  wrongs  they  have  suffered  from 
their  creditors,  aud  few  or  none  among  them  holding 
Government  obligations  bearing  interest,  the.  fea- 
ture of  their  bemg  free  from  taxation  is  made  a 
great  grievance,  while  the  fact  that  they  arc  to  be 
paid  at  a  definite  time  brings  to  the  front  loud- 
mouthed and  dangerous  spirits,  who  insist  tjiat  they 
Bball  be  paid  in  greenbacks — by  the  easy  and  simple 
process  of  Micawoer,  fJij^^^ATyng  a  note  of  hand  by

even.  In  th&  new  way  to  pay  old  debts.  Why 
shouldn't  the[0ovamment  do  the  same  T  It  was  the 
more  easy  to  excite  a  prejudice  against  the  bond- 
holders because  many  of  the  nationju  securities  were 
held  abroad,  and  in  the  opinion  of  some  woold'he 
patriots  wlio  think  an  alien  and  an  enemy  are  syn- 
onymoofl  terms — a  notion  favored  to  a  laree  extent 
tf/  the  enactjiJent  of  prohibitory  tariffs  which  tend 
to  destroy  commerce  and  interconmiunicatlon — it 
would  be  a  neat  stroke  of  policy  uid  serve  to  pusolah 
tliose  guilty  of  living  under  a  "monarchical  despot- 
ism, "  to  refuse  to  pay  them  altogether.  But  there  have 
not  been  wanting  bold  and  true  men  who  have  corn- 
Bated,  with  might  and  main,  these  dangerous  attacks 
upon  the  national  honor,  who  have  scorned  repudia- 
tion as  a  national  cq^ne,  and  have  the  foresight  to 
see  that,  notwithstanding  the  flaming  appeals  of 
demagognes  and  the  machinations  of  speculators,  the 
great  mass  of  the  x*®PPl6  need  only  be  aroused  to 
the  threatened  danger  of  disgrace  and  ruin  that  repu- 
diation will  surely  bring.  And  with  singular  courage 
they  have  prnclaimed  these  doctrines  from  the  plat- 
form and  the  ^umpand  been  snccerafnl  at  the  poUs," 
until  now  the  danger  is  well-nigh  over. 

Latterly  the  repndiators,  beaten  in  so  many  points 
that  they  no  longer  hope  to  prevent  the  payment  of 
the  national  debt,  have  seized  upon  the  brilHant  idea'' 
of  paying  it  in  depreciated  coin,  and  now  the 
"  silver  dollar  of  our  fathers  "  has  become  the  rally- 
ing cry  of  parties.  Forced  from  the  position  that 
they  will  pav  nothing,  they  are  getting  so  far  as  to 
say  they  will  give  silver  worth  85  cents  or  OO  cents. 
The  argum^^nt  is  plausiblie,  and  each  party  in  the 
"Western  States  i.s  making  haste  to  first  put  Itself  on 
the  record.  It  is  indeed  gravely  stated  by  leading 
Kepnblicfln  pipers  that  their  party  must  so  declare 
in  their  platform  or  lose  the  State. 

Ti^a  truckling  to  ignorance — to  base  prejudice  of 
one  j;lilss<Bgaih)st  another-^is  lamentable,  bnt  charac- 
teristic everjiwhere  of  ^  the  defnagogue  and  short- 
sighted politician.  Let  the  Repnbhcans  of  Ohio  re- 
member the  gallant  fight  they  made  in  1875  ;  let 
them  no  longer  rest  u'p^er  the  imputation,  so  often 
made,  thnt  when  the  Pendletons,  Aliens,  Carj-s. 
Ewings.  Kelleys.  and  Coopers  in.sulted  the  nation*8 
honor  and  attacked  the  foundations  of  its  credit  and 
the  prosperitij"  of  Its  people  in  a  m<ffe  dangerbns 
manner  than  jif  at  the  head  of  marchinglegions,  they 
opposed  these  wicked  conspirators  only  from  a  mere 
political-  neees-Hity — from  circumstances  which 
they  conld  not  control.  Let  them  say  that  the  pro- 
portion of  silfer.  if  any.  which  a  public  or  private 
creditor  Is  obliged  to  receive  as  a  legal  tender:  is  not 
to  be  delennihed  by  prejudice,  nor  by  the  vote  of 
parties.  Let  them  realize  that  among  the  men  who 
now  insist  on  the  creditor  being  dep^jfed  of  10  per 
cent,  of  his  claim  are  those  who  have  refused  ;to  pay 
him  anythiugl  Let  them  only  have  the  courage  of 
right  convictions,  aud  they  may  trust  the  people, 
and  when  the  day  comes  "in  the  near  future  when 
financial  questions  are  no  longer  the  foot-ball  of  poli- 
ticians ;  when,  iu  short,  no  politician  or  party  dare 
aosail  the  public  credit,  they  will  wonder  at  their 
pre.**ent  cowardice,  and  realize  thai  what  is  ^yrong 
does  not  alwaiys  continue  popular.     .

To  th£  Editor  oftha  AViP-  Turk  Tinita  : 

Vour  well-known  liberal  impartiaUty  in  allow- 
ing -  space  Ibr  men  of  all  conditions  and  shades  of 
opinion.  In  which  they  may  express  their  Wews  on 
current  topics,  leads  me  to  hope  you  will  not  reject 
this  letter. 

*  As  a  working  man.  coming  originally  to  this  coun- 
try In  the  faith  that  here  there  was  no  class  govern- 
ment, prejudice,  or  feeling;  that  here,  if  nowhere 
else  in  the  world,  the  dignity  of  labor  was  recognized. 
I  made  no  mistake.  But  '20  years  on  thLs  side  the 
Atlantic  have  taught  me  thnt  the  difference  between 
the  condition  of  the  workman  in  this 'and  that  of  the 
workman  in  the  Old  World  was,  to  a  much  larger 
degree  than  I  had  imagined,  circumstantial  rather 
than  sentimental.  Several  <jf  the  most  important 
States  in  this  Union  hava  just  passed  through  a;  bit- 
ter experience  almost  identical  In  its  causes,  pur- 
poses, and  effects  with  the  disastrous  conflict^  be- 
tween capital  and  labor  (so  called)  which  have  i  con- 
vulsed Ejjope  iu  past  years.  There  are  those  who 
believe  that  we  are  eveu  now  only  at  the  threshold 
of  a  gigantic  problem,  and  the  longer  an  honest  effort 
at  its  solution  is  delayed  the  more  oangerous  and 
difficult  will  that  solution  be. 

People  talk  learnedly  about  the  relations  between 
capital  and  labor.  Mr.  Beecher  told  us  last  Sunday 
that  "capital  is  nothing  more  nor  less  than  con- 
densed labor,"  and  that  "  the  trades-unions  originated 
under  European  systems  destroy  liberty."  WiU  Mr. 
Boecher  Inform  us  through  what  process  of  coii- 
densatiori  a  given  amount  of  labor  mu,st  pass  in  or- 
der to  fit  it  for  UJiO  as  capitjU  by  a  railroad  or  othnr 
corporation  iu  the  purchase  of  legislators  ?  Ho  (^aid, 
ai.so,  that  working  men  were  -oppressoil  l>ocause, 
bclus  poor  and  ignorant,  they— couldn't  help  It.  In 
all  humility,  m-ay  I  suggest  that  all  this  is  neither 
strikingly  original  nor  conclusive.  The  rich  have  no 
desire  to  oppress.  Ah.  no  :  poor  soul-*,  they  do  it 
by  the  force  of  an  irresistible  'great  natural  law." 
"poor  littit*  one  pound  I"  saysf  tho  Plymoutli 
preacher.  It  may  be  hard  to  be  ''.sat  upon"  by 
your  neighbor  two  jKiuuds,  but — -"nature's  laws  are 
inexorable."  .-\nd  J.bo  audience  ("congregaUun,"  I 
suppose,  would  bo  inappropriate. )  very  prv»  perly 
lauijlu  A  proitcher.  It  would  seem,  in  these  daj-s  Is 
nothing  if  not  "  funny." 

But  my  purpose  mainly  in  this  communication  is. 
so  far  as  in  me  lies,  to  protest  in  the  name  of  work- 
ing men  against  the  flippant  and  sneering  tone  in 
which  this  subject — the  most  vital  of  the  time — was 
treated  by  the  reverend  gentleman  through  the 
whole  addrosi.  I  claim  the  right  to  say  that  to  tell 
the  working  men  of  this  or  any  nation  that  they  tire 
■'■  small  in  the  waist  aud  smaller  in,  the  head.''  and 
"  reap  the  misfortunes  of  inferiority.^'  is  au  Insult  to 
them  so  outrageous,  a  libel  on  the  common  sen.se  of 
tho  community  so  gr6ss,  that  it  ought  not  to  pass  un- 
rebuked,  no  matter  how  lofty  the  pinnacle  from  which 
the  utterance  may  conio. 

The  vrrttfr.  in  claiming  the  privilege  of  speaking  as 
a  workman  for  workmen,  bases  that  claim  on  an  ex- 
perience during  the  last  35  years  as  one  among  the 
workers  in  tho  cotton  mills  of  Lancashire,  among 
those  who  "  go  down  to  the  sea  in  ships."  with  the 
lumbermen  of  the  Penobscot,  the  shoemakers  of 
Massachusetts,  itud  as  a  workman  in  one  branch  of 
the  building  trades  in  several  other  States  ;  and  ven- 
tures to  assert  that  the  bona  tide  working  men,,  cer- 
tainly in  this  countr}*  and  in  England,  (and  in  saying 
this,  no  in\"idioij8  exception  is  meant,  but.the  writer 
can  speak  of  these' alone  from  personal  knowledge.) 
will,  for  native  Integrity  of  character,- breadth  of 
thought,  (thc^gh  little  culture,)  and  gooa.  clear,  com- 
mon sense,"  compare  favoratly  with  any  dais  or  por- 
tion of  society,  although  they  may  not  have  the  pow- 
er to  "  soar,"  or  even  to  "  gush"  to  any  considerable 
extent.  The  talk  about  ^'co^imunism''  in  connection 
with  the  real  working  men  of  this  cotintry  Is  simply 
bosh.  4 

Now, '  as  to  the  trad«-unions  destroying  liberty. 
In  1S51  the  writer  was  Employed  as  a  laborer  in  one 
of  the  largest  niaf^hine  wfcrks  in  EnglantL  Tlie|..So. 
dety  of  Ainalgiiniati'd  iJugineers  had  at  that  time  be- 
fMine  very  puworlul,  and  had  in  its  rank.i  many  of 
the  most  skillful  and  iptelligent  w^orkmon  in  the 
United  Kingdom.  ATxmt  November,  1851,  a  "dec- 
laration" was  posted  on  the'  doOfs  and  walls  of  evory 
iron  works  of  any  importance  in  the  country  by  au 
association — to  all  mtefits  aud  purposes  a  trades- 
union,  "withthe  difference  that  its  capital  consisted  I 
of  money  instead  of  labor.  This  declaration  w«s  to 
be  signed  by  every  workman,  the  aitemative  botbg  a 
strike  on  tli'o  part  of  the  employers.  'Theyi  did 
Ftrikc,  and  for  many  months  the  iron  worken*  of 
England  were  idle.  Kow  much  and  what  kind  of  co- 
ercion was  resorted  to  to  compel  weak-kneed  emplov- 
ersto  join  tho  strikers  we  may  never  know.  Tuelr 
meetings  were  generally  secret.  Well,  did  the  men 
howl  about  communism  or  any  other  ism  that  might 
be  the  bugbear  of  the  hour  .'  'At  the  risk  of  making 
this  letter  too  long  I  would  like. to  give  a  short 
sketch  of  the  effect  which  this  enforced  idle- 
ness aud  their  connection  mth  a  trades- 
nnion  had  upon  20  of  the  '  men  employed 
in  the  same  shop  with  myself.  One  or  two  were 
men  of  some  education ;  most  were  lamentably  igno-  _ 
rant  of  anything  like  "  book  learning  "  outside  of  their  ' 
'  particular  line  of  work.  Some  years  pre\iously  to 
the  time  1  speak  of  these  men,  with  others,  had 
quietly  organized  a  co-operative  store  on  a  very 
small  scale  indeed.  It  had  grown.  "ITiey  now  turned 
the  e'xperience  thii-s  gained  mto  other  channels,  still. 
.of  course,  retaining  their  membership  in  the  society. 
TTiey  organized  a  co-operative  machme  works  with, 
the  aid  and  sj-mpathy  of  the  fell  destroyer,  the  trades- 
union,  "originated  under  European  systems."  This 
was  in  18a2.__In  February,  1801,  I  visited  the 
place.  The  twenty  had  become  a  hundred— tlie  small 
workshop  an  extensive,  well-equipped  system  of 
shops.  The  comi«my  had  orders — which  I  saw — on 
thefr  books  from  different  parts  of  the  world  suffi- 
cient to  employ  their  entire  force  for  three  years. 
Every  workman  wa.s  a  sliarer  in  the  profits  on  the 
labor  he  performed;  every  skilled!  workman  was  a 
member  of  the  destructive  "  union,!"  and,  to  my  cer- 
tain knowledge,  every  man  of  the  original  twenty 
took  his  beer  daily. 

This  is  but  one  among  many  instances.  Of  course, 
they  did  not  all  succeed.  But  the  history  of  that 
time  furnishes  abundant  evidence  of  the  capacity  of 
working  men  to  combine  successfully  for  wise  and 
healthy  purposes.  I  fear  T  have  exceeded  a  reason- 
able limit,  and  must  break  off,  leaving  tmsaid  much  I 
thought  to  .say,  but  In  conclusion  may  I  not  respect- 
fully suggest  to  Mrr  Beecher  and  others  like  nim, 
that  to  help  the  working  man,  a  little  closer  followitig 
of  the  "carpenter's  Son."  and  thoughts  inspired  by 
his  teachings  would,  perhaps,  be  a  little  more  effect-

ITS  'WORK  AND    COMPOSITION   REVIEWED— A 
I      TRULY    SUGGESTIVE     CONVENTION — THE

PRESBYTERIAK  CHURCHES  IMPOSSIBLE  OP 
REALIZATION — THE  VIEWS    OP  THE  UNIT- 
ED STATES  DELEGATES,  AND  THE  FEELING 
THEY  CAUSED  IN  THE  COUNCIL.       ' 
I  JVom  the  London  Spectator^  JvXy  21. 
Tho  Council  of  Presbyterians  from  all  parts 
of  the  world,  which  has  held  session  in  Edinburgh 
for  the  best  part  of  a  fortnight,  has  now  closed  its 
sittlngsj  aujA  It  is  worth  while  for  English  Churchmen 
to  striv^  asl  they  may  after  an  understanding  of  its 
doings  and  nretensions.    True,  the  positive  amount 
of  whatlwas  transacted  stands  in  an  inverse  ratio  to 
the  arrogance  of   the  claim  which   was    advanced. 
There  i^as  an  infinitude  of  talk,  such  as  seems  to  be 
an  inevitable  concomitant  of   all  such  gatherings, 
though  the  outcome  of  menffvable  work  was  slight. 
Trumpets  were  blown  loudly,  and  with  lusty  breath, 
but  it  is  more  than  questionable  whether  many  Jeri- 
choes  were  shaken  by  the  sound.     Yet  it  would  be  a 
mi^tak^  to  depreciate  the  significanre  of  the  assem- 
bly, or  wholly  to  contemn  its  assertion  of  place  and 
prerogative.     That  oasertion  was  sufiOlciently  high, 
bnt  it  is  not  all  unreal.     Along  with   a  good  deal  of 
empty  braggini  and  vain-glorious  parade,  there  was 
an  Impressive  demonstration  of  substantial  unity  and 
living  f()rc«. 

Tliree  hundred  and  thlrty-tlirco  delegates,  commis- 
sioned jfrom  49  separate  churches,  met  in  confer- 
ence, pf  old  time,  a  mystic  significance  would  cer- 
tainly have  been  attributed  to  tlieae  peculiar  num- 
bers, bait  they  were  reached  accidentally.  Some 
churches,  whose  representatives  would  have  been  ad- 
missible, seut-none.  Tliose  who  sent,  did  so  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  rule  that  a  clergyman  and  a  lay 
elder  should  he  returned  for  every  100  congrega- 
tions. Of  the  persons  deputed  several  did  not  ap- 
pear, bnt  still  It  was  a  truly  suggestive  convention. 
Its  members  came  from  all  the  ends  of  the  earth. 
The  United  States  was  very  strongly  represented. 
Not  one  of  the  British  colonies  was  without  its  dele- 
gate. Of  European  nationalities  only  Russia  and 
Turkey  lacked  some  one  to  8i)eak  for  them. 
The  assemblage  hsd  a  veritable  oecumeni- 
cal character,  and  the  exhibition  made  of  the 
cosmopolitanism  that  belongs  to  Presbiterianism.  of 
its  capacity  for  raalntalninit  a  vigorous  life  under  the 
most  diverse  and  tryingcohditions,  was  very  striking. 
It  was  fit  the  meeting  should  Ikj  held  In  "the  gray 
metropolis  of  the  North."  The  American  and  Colonial 
churches  are  all  of  S<'oto-Irish  descent ;  nud  eveu  as 
Carthage  loved  Tj-re  hecnnse  from  it  the  founders  of 
Carthage  came,  as  manv  of  the  early  Churches  long 
clierisli'ed  a  warm  affection  for  tho  mother  Church  of 
Jerusalem,  so  it  was  meet  that  the  far-seattered  chil- 
dren of  Knox  should  ns.semble  In  tho  city  that  was 
his  home  and  the  craille  of  their  tpstimony.  To  a 
stranger  educated  iu  the  idea  that  a  Presbyterian  and 
a  (disputant  are  interchangeable  term.s.  but  the  chief 
business  of  ever>-  l*resbytcrian  votary  is  to  cultivate 
the  habit  of  profitle.'is  junRlinK.  that  the  -  .sarcasm

is  true,  no  sjjectjcle  cnuld  l>e  more  astonishing  than 
the  unanimity,  the  deffereiife.  the  mutual  respect 
which  were  shown.  Perhaps  these  amiable  and  en- 
gaging qualities  were  too  carefully  and  ti>o  ostenta- 
tiously displayed.  Suber  onlookers  certainly  liave 
that  conWction.  There  was  shon'n  a  nervous  dread 
of  anytiiini;  that  might  arouse  feeling  or  prf>mote 
controversv.  wliicli  spoke  ill  as  to  tho  streneth  of 
tliose  bonds  whi'h  unite  the  Alliance  and  its  chances 
of  future  usefulness.  Ity  its  constitution  it  is  neces- 
sarily made  advisory  and  delil)erative,  no  authori- 
tative character  being  churned  or  assigned  to  it ;  but 
how  can  any  coiuifil  ad^iso  to  any  good  purpose 
when  care  is  taken  to  keep  from  its  notice  every 
subject  upon  which  diversity  of  opinion  prevails'l 
So  farj  this  grand  conclave  shrank  from  all  specitlc 
duty,   save  the  labor  of  "■  marking  time.' 

Thatj  however,  may  prove  a  n.<eful  exercise.  Its 
performance,  in  tlils  case,  cau.'es  l>otli  disappoint- 
ment and  good  hope.  It  is  to  bo  deplored  that  the

freedom  of  private  judguient  with  the  b«netit  of  a 
W;foroiis  Church  order,  will  regret  such  a  probability.

.1  DOCTOR  S  ATTEMPT  TO  nVRX  HIS  UOTSE. 
The  Detrwit  Tribune  of  ^louday   has  the   fol- 

lowincr  account  of  crime  by  a  ph>*9iciau  in  Ann  Ar- 
bor, Mich.:  "^  well-laid  ."icheme  prepared  by  Dr.  Si- 
las Pratt,  of  the  Fifth  Ward,  to  bum  his  house,  has 
just  come  to  light.  Some  weeks  ago  he  began  to 
carry  away  his  furniture  piece  by  piece  to  different 
places.  tiU  nothing  was  left  in  the  buildim;  but  a  few 
dollars' [Worth  of  useless  articles.  His  wife  duprfrted 
for  Jackson  about  a  week  since  on  a  visit  to  some 
friends,  I  and  the  old  man  was  left  to  mature  his  plans. 
A  young  Dian  named  William  Turner,, wholiad  been 
fref|uen'tly  at  tlio  luraso  aiul  was  qtiite  intimate  with 
Pratt,  becan  to  suspect  that  aomethinff  was  wrong, 
when  on  Thursday, last  the  latter  quietly  broached 
the  subject  of  burning  his  niausion,  and  ouero»l  Tur- 
ner $2pO  in  cash  to  set  lire  t4>  it.  To  develops  the 
old  man's  plans  Turner  agreed  to  do  it,  and  soon  af- 
t(;r  quietly  informed  other  parties.  Pratt  then  pro- 
ceeded to  deposit  shavings  in  various  parts  of  the 
building,  even  tearing  tho  plastering  from  the  walls 
and  stnteng  shavings  in  the  partition  and  also  above 
the  ceiling.  All  the  shavings  were  saturated  with 
kerosene,,  and  some  two  erallons  more  were  in  a  lanje 
can  rea*ly  to  be  poured  where  it  would  bo  moKt  avail- 
able lust  before  applying  the  match.  Turner  was  to 
fire  tno  building  on  Saturday  night,  but  on  some  pre- 
tense he  refused  to  do  it.  {>n  Sunday  night,  then,  it 
was  to  1)6  done,  aud  Pratt  took  the  11  o  clock  train 
for  Jackson,  so  as  not  to  know  anything  about  the 
conBagratifm.,  Immediately  after  his  departure  Tur- 
ner sumimonea  officials  to  the!  house  and  the  full  ex- 
tent of  the  preparation  laid  btJfore  their  eyes.  Officer 
Maroney  at  once  i  telegraphed  to  Jacksim  to  have 
I*ratt  arrested  on  his  arrival  there.  This  was  done, 
and  on  Monday  morning  he  was  returned  to  Ann  Ar- 
bor. Pratt  ia  an  old  man,  very  eccentric,  and  has 
lived  in  the  housej  he  wante<l  to  destroy  1 7  years. 
Tlio  hoiise  was  insured  for  iJiSOO  and  the  furniture 
for  a  like  sum.  The  policies  were  to  expire  in  a  few 
days."

A  CONDEMN  ED  MURDERER. 
The  St.  Lawrence  (Mass.)  An\ericanot  Tues- 
day says:  "  Albert  F.  Joy,  the  Rockport  murderer, 
was  brought  to  this  city  from  Salem,  via  Salem  and 
Lowell  Railroad  this  morning.  He  was  transferred 
to  the  Lfowell  and  Ijawrence  Railroad  Qt  Tewksbury 
Junction,  and  at  thei  South  liawrence  Junction  was 
removed  from  the  train  to  a  carriage  without  at- 
tracting; attention,  and  was  driven  to  tlie  House  of 
Correction,  there  to  await  confinement  until  his  ex- 
ecution,! in  October.  Two  prison  officers  accom- 
panied him  from  Salem.  Ho  was  handcuffed  and 
manacled,  but  affected  an  ajr  of  indifference,  and  on 
lea\'ing;the  car  threw  a  kiss  and  made  a  bow  to  a 
yonnglady  in  the  car  who  was  a  stranger  to  him." 


Koch.  Gen.  I  and  Mrs.  Grant  lived  In  it  comfortably. 
Mtb.  Grant,  he  stateid.  notwithstanding  the  straitened 
circumstances  of  the  fainily,  constantly  manifested

in  hauling  wood' fropihiq  father-in-law's  farm  in  St. 
Louis  Cotmty  to  the  St.  ijouis  market.  Not  succeeding 
in  the  business,  he  feolic^ed  and  obtained  the  aid  of 
a  number  of  friends'for  the  appointment  of  assistant 
engineer  onia  line  oi  railroad  about  to  be  constructed 
from  St.  Ldcris  to  thie  iixm  ore  region  of  Missouri. 
The  effort  fiile*!,  auid  thsn;  under  pressure  of  impera-

section  of  article  11.  and  is  as  follows  :  *•  Tiie  Gen-

hibiliou.  it  will  be  obser\'ed.  ia  lUcuinst  the  Legisla- 
tures  auilioriziui:  municipal  subscriptions  or  aid  to 
private  corjiorations:  it  does  not  pnrjMirt  to  take 
away  any  autJiority  alreaOy  granted.  It  only  limits 
the  power  of  the  I-*ffislatu"n*  in  granting  such  author- 
ity for  the  time  to  come.  This  ii:is  been  settlnd  by 
ti*o  Supreme  <_'onrt  of  Missouri  in  several  well-con- 
sidered de»-isions.  (See  The  State  vs.  Sullivan 
Couutv.  r»l  Mo.,  522;  The  State  vs.  Greene 
t"<unity.  54  Mo..  540.)  In  the  formt>r  casi>  the 
<'4nirt  say  ;  "  Power  coufem^d  on  counties  to  take 
aud  subscribe  stock  without  a  submission 
to  a  vole  td"  the  people,  before  the  Con- 
stitution Went  into  operation,  remained  un- 
affected by  that  innrumeiit."  (51  Mo.,  531.) 
The  same  view  was  taken  bv  this  court  in  the  recei-.t 
cane  of  < 'alia  way  County  vs.  Foster,  decidisi  at  the  jtres- 
enr  term.  (See  .-ilso  State  vs.  Mavsville  and  Ijoxin;-- 
ton  K.  H.  Co..  13  B.  Monroe.  1.)  Tlie  st>e(  ific  ijues- 
t  ion  iti  the  present  case,  therefore,  is  whether  the 
authority  jjiven  to  counties  and  towns  in  ISjT  to 
subscribe  to  the  capital  stock  of  the  Ale.xandria  and 
Bhutmlit'ld  Railroad  Comjiany  has  l)ecome  extin- 
^ished  by  the  Rubsequent  consolidation  of  that 
company  with  other  ctinipanies,  irresneetive  of  tlie 
constitutional  provision  referred  to.  ri'Iio  constitu- 
tion does  not  itself,  as  wo  hftve  se*Mi.  interfere 
Willi  authority  given  previous  to  its  adoption.  That 
simple  consolidation  with  another  .company  does  imt 
extinguish  the  power  of  the  counties  to  sutscrii)c.  or 
the  privilege  of  the  company  to  receive  stibscrip- 
tious.  wa.s  decided  in  the  case  <»f  the  State  \a 
Greene  County,  5-4  Mo.,  540.  After  an  extended 
view  of  the  authorities  ou  the  above  point,  the 
judiimont  Is  affirmed,  Mr.  Ju.«;tice  Field  t^ikinii  no 
part  in  the  deiision,  and  Mr.  .Tustico  Miller  di.sseut- 
Ing.     ilr.  Justice  Bradley  delivered  the  opinion.

lived  until  1882  he  should  receive  the  money  him- 
s^f,  other%rise  it  should  go  to  hi.-*  widow.  In  1872 
he  got  his  wife  to  assign  her  interest  in  the  polii'\-

assignment  was  made  previous  to  1873,  and,  there- 
fore, did  not  come  under  an  act  passed  in  that  year. 
it  was  a  nullity :  and  that  further,  the  wife  made 
the  assignment  under  the  direction  of  her  husband  ; 
but  he  held  that  the  plaintiff  was  entitled  to  tho  ro- 
pajTnent  of  certain  premiums  he  had  paid,  and 
directed  the  payment  of  the  policy  to  the  defendant.

SOUTHERN  IXTOLERMCE. 


A  LATVYER  IX  AX  UGLY POSITIOX. 
In  May  last  a  respectable  looking  man  named 
Lewis  O.  Corbett,  who  claimed  to  be  a  lawyer  with- 
out practice,  (and  wlio.  It  seems,  is  a  lawj'er  and  a 
member  of  the  Bar  Association, )  applied  to  the  firm 
of  John  Beacham  &  Co.,  publishers,  No.  23  Liberty- 
street,  for  something  to  do.  and  was  employed  as  a 
canva-sser.  A  few  days  afterward  he  presented  a 
check  on  the  Long  I.*iland  Bank  for  $9  79,  ilrawu  in 
his  own  favor  by  William  X.  Jarboe,  Jr.,  of  Jersey 
City,  and  asked  Mr.  Beacham  to  cash  it  for  him,  as 
he  was  sadly  in  need  of  money.  Mr.  Beacham  said 
it  was  not  his  custom  to  make  advances  on  unknown 
p.tper,  T»ut  he  relaxed  his  caution  on  this  occasion  on 
account  of  Corbett'g  apx>arent  honesiy  and  need!' 
ness.  In  the  course  of  a  few  days  Corbett  pre- 
sented another  check  for  $25,  drawn* in  his  favor  on 
tlie,  Mechanics'  Bank,  of  Broakl>Ti.  b^  Rich- 
ard I).  K.  Lorin  &  Co..  and  thin  Mr. 
Beacham  also  cashed,  the  inducine  arguments 
being  tho  same  as  iu  the  first  instance.  Cor- 
bett disappeared  after  receiving  the  money,  and 
when  the  checks  were  protested  Mr.  Beacham  em- 
ployed Detective  Mulvey  to  look  after  him.  He  was 
arrested  yesterday  at  ilis  residence.  No.  463  West

at  the  Tombs  Police  Court.  The  Justice  at  once 
rec*>ijuized  him  as  having  been  liefore  him  some  time 
apo  m  the  Fifly-seventii-Street  Court  for  an  attempt 
to  swindle  a  butc}ier  with  a  false  check,  on  which  oc- 
casion he  e.scaped  by  claiming  that  he  had  blank 
ehefks  in  his  p'H-ket  on  two  different  banks,  and  that 
he  drew  the  check  by  mistake  on  the  hank  in  which 
he  had  no  deposit.  Corbett  acknowledged  the  truth 
of  what  tho  Justice  said,  but  denieil  that  he  was 
;niiltyinthe  presentca.se.  the  persons  who  signed 
the  checks  tM.'in«  bona  fide  ImHJne.ss  men,  whom  he 
cimld  produce  in  court  at  anyninment.  Furthermore, 
he  said  he  was  himself  the  possessor  of  considerable 
real  property,  and  could  readily  settle  his  debts.  He 
did  not.  howttver.  satisfactorily  explain  why  he  so  un- 
ceremonion.'^ly  de.serted  Mr.  lieacham's  employ  after 
e»-ttlnz -■f'.^.j  from  him.  T!u^  Ju-;ti'-e  remarked  that 
he  seemed  to  be  a  Kystemaile  swindler,  and  committed 
bim  for  trial  in  default  of  $1,500  bail. 

AX  Al^PAREXTLY  VXPROVOKED  ASSAULT. 
On  the  night  of  July  L*.^,  Hiram  L.  Meeker. 
of  Xo-  11*1  Johnson-street.  Brooklyn,  who  is  em- 
j.loved  as  a  brid^eioan  im  the  Xew-Vork  side  of 
Fulton  Ferrj-.  was  terribly  beaten  and  cut  by  a 
ynnns  man  named  Jlichael  Healey.  a  resident  of  No. 
23  Ann-street.  The  assailant  was  promptly  arrested, 
but  an  examination  was  not  held  in  the  case  until 
voFterday,  the  complaining  witness  being  unable  to 
leave  his"  bed  in  the  New-York  Hospital,  whither  be 
had  been  carried  in  an  un('ons<'iou-s  state  after  tho 
assault  upon  lum.  For  several  day.s  it  was  thought 
tliat  he  would  die  from  a  ga.«^h  iu  the  neck,  in- 
flicted evidenllv  with  a  knife,  or  some  other  sharp 
instnunent.  in  his  aflSdarit,  he  swears  that  the 
attack  upon  him  was  entirely  unprovoked,  and  it 
doe.-^  not  appear  that  Healey  has  even  the  excuse  of 
druiUkenuess  to  ofiVr  for  Kis  singular  conduct.  The 
prisoner,  a  quiet  looking  young  man.  1-^  a  bra.ss-

the  Tombs  Police  Court  yesterday  afternoon,  pre- 
ferring lo  wait  until  he  had  employed  counsel,  and

Corre^ondtHce  of  the  Sprin^pid  Republican. 
Kkoxtiux.  Tenn.,  July  23,  lef77. 
There  has  been  qtiite  an  interest  in  the  lal« 
doings  of  the  Trustee*  of  the  East  Tennesaee  Uni- 
versity, the  culnunation  of  a  purpose  that  ha-s  been 
germiuating  for  two  years  at  least,  of  a  desire  run 
ning  further  hack.    The  East  Tennessee  L'niversiiy 
has  long  heen  an  eye-sore  to  the  Confederates,  for  the 
reason  that  the  President,  Eev.  I>r.  Humes  iras  a 
stout  Unionist  duiing  the  war;  that  a  maj'mty  oi 
tho  Trustees  were  of  the  same  class,  aud  som(»  ol 
them  Xortbem  men ;  that   Northern  men  are   i:um- 
hered  among  the  Professors,  and  that  the  proct-eds  of 
the  fund  were  quite  too  rich  and  rare  to  be  permitted 
to  drop  into  any  but  their  own  hands. 

Two  3rears  since,  at  the  annual  meetine  of  the 
board,  a  motion  wa.s  made  by  one  of  our  leadtn:? 
clergymen  to  the  eff*-ct — if  not  in  the«e  preejse  w>rdff 
— that,  in  future,  the  Faculty  and  leathers  of  the 
college  should  be  appointed  from  that  section  of  the 
country  from  whence  it  derived  its  students.  This 
delicate  blow  at  the  members  of  the  Faculty  Imillng 
from  the  North  was  an-estenl  liy  tho  strung  expression 
of  feeling  of  a  portion  of  the  board.  The  resolution  '  . 
was  withdrawn  aud  a  new  mode  of  fining  lh«  end 
substituted.  Tho  corporation  is  a  'close"  one.  hav- 
ing the  power  to  perpetuate  itself  or  it-»  oivu  meta-

The  Board  of  Tmstees  cousLrted  of  3*J  meitibcr*. 
of  whom  a  large  majority  were  C^.nfed'Tal^-*  oi 
Democrats,  The  meetings,  however,  were  at 
tended,  maiidy,  by  those  resi'limr  near  the  eol 
lege:  and,  as  a  portion  of  the  iH-mtK-rat*.  c-not^l 
to  hold  the  balance  of  power,  were  moderate  men 
having  more  regard  for  t'ne  welfare  of  the  sch-x*?  thai:

■  The  recent  squabbles  over  the  reorganiza- 
tion of  Republican  District  Associations, 
the  formation  by  men  of  dubious  character 
and  antecedents  of  "  Independent "  Kepub- 
licau  Committees,  and  the  generally  unset- 
tled condition  in  which  tfio  party  organiza- 
tion is  left  in  this  City,  iought  to  show  the 
necessity  for  men  of  some  standing  and  ap- 
proved public  spirit  assuming  their  prop- 
er place  in  its  ranks.  The  President's 
order  will  certainly  have  failed  of  one  of  its 
objects  if  it  leaves,  even  for  a  time,  the 
control  of  the  party  machinery  in  the  hands 
of  persons  ImS  worthy  of  popular  confl- 
dfnce  than  those  who  have  just  been  relieved 
orf  the  task  of  directing  it.  But  that  will 
.'certainly  be  the  result  unless  Kopublicans 
of  character  and  energy  make  their  influ- 
ence felt  ill  their  respective  districts,  and, 
recognizing  the  necessity  for  early  and  ac- 
tive work,  give  the  local  associations  a  repre- 
sentative character  which  they  have,  of  late 
years,  very  partially  possessed.  It  is  too 
early  to  discuss  candidates  or  mature  plans 
for  the  campaign ;  it  is  not  t(5o  early  to  per- 
fect the  or^nizations  which  communicate 
diiectly  with  the  people,  an^l  on  whose  effi- 
ciency depends  sd  much  of  the  successful 
Tvork  of  the  canvass. 


The  prosecution  of  the  allies  of  tho  "  Bob- 
ber Governor"  of  South  Carolina,  even 
though  based  on  the  evidence  of  ei-Gov. 
Moses  himself,  would  excite  more  respect 
for  its  motives  if  there  was  any  dispo- 
sition shown  on  the  part  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Government  of  that  State  to  bring  the 
murderers  of  Ellentou  and  Hamburg  to 
jvuitice.  Instead  of  that,  however,  our 
V^ashiiigton  correspondent  states  that 
Jjressure  is  being  brought  upon  the  Presi- 
dent by  South  Carolina  Democrats  to 
direct  tho  aljaiidoamcnt  o£  the  prosecu- 
tions again.-;t  Bltlep.  and  his  followers  and 
imitatta-.s  brought  in  tho  ,  United  States 
Court.  The  rascality  of  tlje  rule  of  MosE.s 
was  !^oss  and  palpable  enough  to  render 
its  punishment  both  desirable  and  certain, 
but  surely  tho  organized  thuggism  of  the 
Haraburg  massacre  and  the  Ellentou  riot  is 
quite  as  well  established,  and  quite  as 
wvrthy  of  exemplary  retribution. 


It  is  very  likely  that  the  reports  of  the 
jRussian  defeat  at  Plevna  are  somewhat 
exaggerated.  Nevertheless,  it  is  certain 
that  the  invaders  have  met  with  a  disaster 
in  thi.s  their  tirst  great  battle.  Heretofore  they 
have  advanced  slowly,  but  without  much 
serious  opposition.  It  has  been  the  marvel 
of  all  on-lookers  that  the  Turks  shoidd  offer 
gneh  feeble  opposition,  and  should  yield 
■position  after  position  without  the  fierce  re- 
si'stance  which  has  always  heretofore  char- 
acterized the  intrenched  Ottoman.  If 
It  be  true  that  the  generalship  of 
the  Turkish  Army  has  reserved  all 
determined  assault  on  the  Russian  Army 
tmtil  it  has  crossed  the  Balkans,  we  are  now 
to  witness  the  development  of  a  new  style 
of  tactics.  The  Fabian  policy  is  to  be 
abandoned,  says  one  account.  Osman 
Pasha's  great  plan  is  now  to  be  unfolded, 
Bays  onr  own  correspondent.  At  present, 
ihe  Russians  maintain  their  lines  of  com- 
munication, and,  though  their  advance  has 
been  cheeked,  the  defeat  at  Plevna  is  far 
from  being  a  fatal  disaster.  The  grand 
struggle  for  the  plains  south  of  the  Balkans 
is.yet  to  come. 


"Wednesday's  blood-letting  at  Scranton 
has  sobered  the  strikers,  aiid  there  is  a  fair 
■^prospect  that  the  labor  difBoultiea  in  that 
region  will  be  settled  without  ftirther  vio- 
lence. It  is  nnfortonate  that  the  miners 
should,  by  their  partial  identification 
with.  Wednesday's  riot,  have  acted 
bk    B     way    likely    to    oIom    the    pub- 


lic ear  to  their  alleged  grievances.  That 
some  of  these  deserve  attention  is  suffi- 
ciently obvious.  The  tyrannical  abuse  of 
the  "truck  system"  has  undoubtedly  had 
a  large  share  in  exasperating  the  men 
against  their  employers,  and  the  absence 
of  jmy  disposition  to  pay ,  attention  i  to 
complaints  which  were  not  emphasized  by 
a  strike  has  probably  been  as  iaanif  est  i  at 
Scranton  as  elsewhere.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  the  necessity  for  some  closer  inter- 
course between  labor  and  capitjal  will  not 
fail  to  be  recognized  as  one  of  Ithe  lessons 
of  the  fatal  results  of  a  deplorable  series  of 
bltmdera  on  both  sides. 


The  World  is  moved  in  the  interests  of  a 
tax-burdened  people  to  make  the  following 
inquiry:  "  When  a>tax-payer  and  an  advo- 
cate of  economy  in  public  and  private  ex- 
penditure is  told  that  the  necessary  cost  of 
eac£  New- York  City  election  is  over  $200,- 
000,  may  he  not  naturally  ask  whether  this 
is  not  rather  tbo  big  a  price  to  pay  every 
yeart"  While  the  tax-payer  aforesaid  is 
about  it,  might  he  not  also  ask 
whether  annual  salaries  amounting  to 
$S5,000  are  not  rather  too  T)ig  a  price  to 
pay  for  the  services  of  our  Board  of  Alder- 
men ;  likewise  whether  a  similar  query  might 
not  be  put  in  regard  to  the  $26,000  paid 
to  OTir  four  Police  Commissioners,  the  $17,- 
000  paid  to  the  Fire  Commissioners,  the 
$16,500  paid  to  the  Comtnissioners  of 
Charities,  the  $12,500  paid  to  the  Dock 
Commissioners,  the  $12,000  paid  to  the 
Mayor,  and  the  $10,000  to  the  Controller  f 
Further,  it  might  be  suggested  with  be- 
coming meekness  that  a  Commissioner  of 
Jurors  is  rather  dear  at  $15,000,  and  that 
the  $150,000  or  so  which  is  annually 
pocketed  in  the  shape  of  fees:  by  "  D(ck'' 
Croker  and  his  brother  Coroners  should  be 
partially  diverted  into  the  public  Treasury. 
As  the  World  feelingly  remarks :  **  Is  tho 
community  so  prosperous  that  it  can  afford 
to  go  on  throwing  such  sums  of  money  every 
year  out  of  the  window,  with  no  pretense  of 
any  adequate  return  for  them  f *' 


SATIOSAL    POLICY    ASD     WESTERy 
FIXAXCE. 

Whether  the  Ohio  Republican  platform  is 
five  or  t«n  degrees  l>etter  .than  tho  Demo- 
cratic platform  in  regard  to  '  finance  is  a 
question  which  we  leave  the  worshipers  of 
expediency  to  discuss..  If  the  Sole  biisincss 
of  party  managers  is  to  out-manoeuvro 
opponents,  without  reference  to  prin- 
ciple, the  "plank"  constructed  at 
Cleveland  may  be  set  down  as  a 
dexterous  piece  of  partisan  carpentry.  Tlie 
material  employed  does  not  differ  much 
from  that  used  a  few  days  before  at  Colum- 
bus. The  difference  is  in  the  linish.  The 
rough  parts  are  made  smooth ;  the  comers 
are  rounded,  and  generally  the  thing  has 
a  more  decent  look  than  the  workmanship 
of  the  Democracy.  So  much  we  concede. 
The  convention  that  adopted  it  evinced, 
moreover,  at  least  a  semblance  of  respect 
for  political  decency.  Even  Mr.  Stanley 
Matthews  could  not  coa.x  tho  com- 
mittee into  a  demand  for  the  repeal  of 
the  Resumption  act  and  tho  removal  of  the 
only  restriction  upon  tho  legal  tender  quality 
of  greenbacks.  All  things  considered,  tliero 
may  be  some  reason  for  gratitude  in  the 
escape  from  the  infiuny  which  gentlemen 
of  the  Matthews  school  had  in  reserve  for  the 
party.  On  the  principle  of  being  thankful  for 
small  mercies,  we  may  congratulate  the 
party  that  it  was  not  tempted  to  follow  tho 
Democratic  example,  and  wage  war  to  the 
death  against  the  national  biknks.  These, 
however,  are  negative  excellences.  We 
are  not  accustomed  to  sing  the  praises  of  a 
man  who  happens  not  to  be  a  s^vindlcr  or  a 
thief,  and  it  is  not  easj-  to  see  why  a  propo- 
sition should  be  applauded  simply  because 
it  might  have  been  worse.  The  Ph.irisee 
thanks  Heaven  that  he  is  better  than  his 
neighbor,  and  in  the  same  spirit  tho  Ohio 
Republicans  are  flattered  with  the  assurance 
that  in  tho  matter  of  finance  theyhavejnot 
sunk  to  the  level  of  the  Democracy. 

It  was  not  on  this  ground  that  Mr.  IIayes 
won  his  laurels  in  Ohio,  or  that  the  Repub- 
licans of  that  State  rendered  signal  service 
to  the  cause  of  national  honesty  in  the 
conflict  with  Democratic  ropudiators.  Thi! 
question  then  uppermost  in  the  party  mind 
was,  not  how  best  to  trim  and  temporize 
with  the  view  of  catching  doubtful  vote.", 
but  how.  most  effectively  to  "expose  the 
fallacies  of  the  Greenback  Parly  and 
prove  the  wisdom  of  good  faith.  The 
inducements  to  pursue  the  opposite 
course  were  as  plausible  then  as  now.  The 
Pendletonian  plea  for  paj*ing  the  five- 
twenties  in  greenbacks,  and  the  Allen- 
Cary  nostrum  for  making  everybody  rich 
by  printing  greenba(^ks  unliiriitedly,  were 
not  more  objectionable,  in  principle,  than 
the  schemes  of  the  silver  agitators.  But 
the  Ohio  Republicans  met  them  very  dif- 
ferently. They  did  not  put  their  hea<ls 
together  to  find  out  how  "near  they 
could  come  to  repudiation  without  actually 
identifying  themselves  with  it,"  nor  how 
much  of  Aulen's  thunder  they  might  steal 
without  being  detected  in  the  act.  Instead 
of  thus  playing  fast  and  loose  with  <  prin- 
ciple, they  manfully  announced  their  deter- 
mination to  stand  by  the  right,  regardless 
of  consequences.  Appealing  to  the  intelli- 
gence and  the  moral  sentiment  of  the  State, 
they  fought  the  good  fight  with  a  courage 
and  consistency  which  challenged  respect, 
and  rendered  their  victory  one  of  which 
the  party  everywhere  was  proud.  The  con- 
viction then  prevailed  that  the  temporary 
loss, of  the  State  was  of  less  importance 
than  the  vindication  of  sound  principle ;  and 
the  moral  strength  of  their  position  was  pro-  ■ 
digious.  For  every  vote^  driven  over  to  tho 
Democracy  they  gained  three  fi-om  the  Li- 
dependents,  and  they  had  the  satisfaction  of 
knowing  that  their  course  influenced  bene- 
ficially the  policy  at  Washington. 

If  they  were  right  then  they  are  wrong 
now,  for  the  plan  followed  at  Cleveland  on 
Wednesday  is  the  opposite  of  that  which  in 
other  days  crowned  them  with  honor  and 
Buc.eess.  Every  argument  used  in  behalf  of 
the  remonetization  of  silver  is  appropriated, 
with  slight  verbal  modifications,  from  the 
armory  of  the  Greenbackers.  The  ease  of  the 
greenback  is  fully  equal  to  the  case  of  the 
silver  dollar.  The  plea  for  either,  as  an  un- 
limited legal  tender,  is  a  compound  of  in- 
flation and  repudiation.  It  is  an  attempt, 
on  one  hand,  to  counteract  the  inconven- 
iencies  of  contraction,  and,  on  the  other,  to 
deprive  the  public  creditor  of  that  which, 
morally  considered,  is  his  due.-  The  holder 
of  onr  national  securities  will,  assuredly,  re- 
cognize no  diSerenee  in  the  immorality  of 


payment  in  silver  or  payment  in  green- 
backs, of  obligations  which,  as  he  under- 
stands them,  are  pajrable  only  in  gold.  Nor 
is  the  iniquity  of  the  proposition  lessened 
by  the  concealment  of  its  more  repulsive 
features,  or  by  the  dbsurdity  of  the  method 
employed  for  this  purpose.  The  dis- 
honesty of  the  suggestion  that  silver  "  shall 
be  a .  legal  tender  for  the  payment  of  all 
debts"  remains,  so  far  as  the  public  creditor 
is  concerned,  in  spite  of  the  proviso,  "Ex- 
cept where  otherwise  specifically  provided 
-for  by!  law,"  because,  as  every  intelligent 
person  knows,  the  refunding  law  does  not 
specifically  direct  the  paj-ment-of  interest 
or  principal  in  gold.  The  qualifying  words, 
then,  are  mere  surplusage,  signifying 
nothing.  The  same  remark  applies  to  the 
stipulation  that  the  value  of  gold  and  silver 
shall  te  made  uniform  by  law.  Why 
not  say  at  once  that  legislation  shall  force 
water  lip  hUl  ?  The  effort  would  be  as  wise 
and  as  successful  as  an  attempt  by  legal 
enactment  to  arrest  the  fluctuations  of  silver 
and  to  import  to  it  a  value  in  excess  of  that 
which  it  commands  in  the  market.  A  reso- 
lution thus  crammed  with  absurdity  can  but 
indicate  one  of  two  things.  Either  its  au- 
thors are  ignorant  of  everything  pertaining 
to  finance,  and  without  any  deliberate  de- 
sign to  do  evil-  have  constructed  a  series 
of  phrases  that  will  bo  as  efiSca- 
cious  in  the  canvass  as  the  shame- 
less declarations  of  the  Democracy : 
or  the  meaningless  part  of  the  resolution 
was  tacked  to  the  mischievous  part  under 
the  belief  that  the  real  nature  of  the  latter 
might  be  disguised.  One  hypothesis  implies 
charlatanry;  the  other  as  clearly  implies  the 
knavery  of  partisanship.  Neither  can  rec- 
oncile the  friends  of  sound  finance  to  the 
proposition  nor  abate  tho  discredit  which 
its  adoption  casts  upon  the  convention. 

We  hope,  therefore,  that  the  satisfaction 
which  tlie  j>roceeding3  of  the  convention 
are  said  to  have  occasioned  at  Washington 
always  excepts  the  financial  feature  of  the 
platfoiTQ ;  and  thishopo  rests  upon  the  an- 
tecedents of  the  President  and  his  known 
obedience  to  the  dictates  of  duty.  As  the 
head  of  the  nation  he  cannot  be  more  dis- 
posed to  compromise  with  the  advocates  of 
dangerous  financial  heresies  than  as  the 
candidiite  for  a  State  office.  The  fact  that 
those  who  formerly  sustained  him  in  tho 
maintenance  of  sound  views  now  pay  hom- 
age to  tho  silver  idol,  only  strengthens  his 
obligation  as  the  headof  theGovemment.  The 
Matthewses  of  Ohio,  may  consider  honest 
principle  a  minor  point  in  the  construction 
of  a  i)arty  platform,  but  it  will  not  do  to  let 
the  impression  exist  that  they  are  as  potent 
in  tho  Treasury  as  in  a  Cleveland  Conven- 
tion. In  truth,  their  reputed  relations  with 
the  Federal  Administration  render  more  ne- 
ces.sary  than  ever  a  frank  and  straightfor- 
ward policy  on  the  part  of  tho  President. 
Ohio  may  l)o  lost  or  won,  but  the 
national  credit  must  be  guarded  with- 
out reference  to  the  contingency.  To 
accept  the  financial  resolution  promulgated 
on  Wednesday  would  be  to  play  into  the 
hanils  of  a  reckless  faction,  whose  ulterior 
purjioses  are  at  variance  with  the  public 
faith  and  with  the  conditions  of  ri"<stablished 
confidence  We  have  in  this  resolution  evi- 
dence of  the  way  in  which  the  silver  agita- 
tion enlarges  its  boundaries.  Emboldened 
by  the  encouragement  it  has  received,  its 
demands  become  broader  and  bolder.  The 
Government  cannot  extend  to  it  toleration 
without  sharing  its  shame. 


TSE    APPLIASCES     FOR     QCELLIXG 
j  RIOTS. 

The  breaking  out  of  a  second  series  of 
riots,  this  time  in  the  mining  regions  of 
Pennsylvania,  again  brings  into  the  fore- 
ground tho  question  of  providing  means  for 
the  ready  <iuelling  of  disturbances  and  the 
securing  of  law  and  order.  A  striking  fea- 
ture of  Wednesday's  riot  at  Scranton  Ls  that 
it  was  put  ilown,  not  by  Militia,  but  by  citi- 
zens, many  of  whom  were  veterans  of  the 
civil  war.  Either  no  Militia  were  at  hand 
or  any  that  were  at  hand  were  not  called 
upon.  The  practical  collapse  of  tho  State 
Militia  in  Pennsylvania  has  revived  tho  sug- 
gestion for  the  formation  of  a  national  Militia, 
under  tlie  laws  of  Cou:rress.  This  was  a 
plan  much  pressed  just  after  the  close  of 
the  war,  partly  because  some  such  nationitl 
force  seenied  to  be  needed,  and  partly 
through  admiration  of  the  prowess  shown 
by  tho^,  Prussian  Landwehr  in  the  war  of 
]  St56.  The  Garde  Nationale  of  France  was 
shortly  afterward  remodeled  on  the  samoplan 
of  a  grand  national  Militia.  In  fact,  some 
form  of  national  Militia  prevails  throughout 
Central  Europe,  from  Sweden  to  Switzerland. 
Besides,  there  was  authority  for  attempt- 
ing to  introduce  a  national  Militia  into  the 
United  Slates  in  the  words  of  the  founders  of 
the  Kepublic.  jEKFKlt-sON  argued  strongly  for 
"an  armed  nation,"  as  tho  only  substitute 
for  a  great  standing  army.  Ten  years  ago, 
therefore,  Congress  took  up  the  subject  in 
practical  form,  and  two  different  bills  were 
introduced,  oue  in  the  House  by  a  Western 
member,  aJid  one  in  the  Senate  by  the  late 
Vice-President  Wilson,  at  that  time  Chair- 
man of  the  Military  Committee.  The  whole 
project,  however,  fell  to  pieces,  and,  as  we 
think,  very  properly. 

There  are  two  objections,  in  fact,  to  main- 
taining a  national  Militia,  one  of  which  is 
legal  and  tho  other  practical.  The  Constitu- 
tion gives  to  Congi'ess  the  power  to  provide 
for  calling  forth  the  Militia  to  execute  the 
laws  of  tho  Union,  suppress  insurrections, 
and  repel  invasions,  and  also  the  power  to 
provide  for  organizing,  arming,  and  discip- 
lining the  Militia,  and  for  governing  such 
part  of  them  as  may  be  employed  in  the  ser- 
vice of  the  United  States,  "  reserving  to  the 
States  respectively  the  appointment  of  the 
officers— and  the  authority  of  training  the 
Militia,  according  to  the  discipline  prescribed 
by  Congress."  It  is  accordingly  evident 
that  in  these  reserved  rights  of  the  States 
are  included  the  all-important  ones  of  di'ill- 
ing  the  Militia  and  providing  officers  for 
them-  Hence,  any  system  for  constructing 
a  really  efficient  national  Militia,  capable 
of  avoiding  the  faults  supposed  to  be  inhe- 
rent in  the  present  organizations,  would 
encounter  fatal  constitutional  restrictions 
and  obstacles  at  the  outset.  In  the 
second  place,  there  are  practical  ob- 
jections to  this  scheme.  The  first 
is  that  only  at  a  disproportionate 
expense  could  a  national  Militia  be  main- 
tained. One  leading  difficulty  with  the 
State  Militia?  system  is  that,  unless  by  a 
roundabout  mustering  of  them  into 
Government  service,  always  reluctantly  re- 
sorted to,  they  cannot  be  dispatched  from 
one  State  to  another.    Hence  a  State  like 


Pennsylvaniay  for  example,  might  find  itself 
a  complete  prey  to  insurrection,  without 
the  Ohio  MQitia  being  allowed  lawfully  to 
go  to  her  assistanpe.  But  this  provision,  as 
we  have  before  said,  is  wise  and  necessary, 
since  no  Militia  would  be  willing  to 
enlist  under  the  liability  to  be  sent 
off  to  any  one!  of  three  dozen  States.  Now, 
in  a  national  Militia  we  should  find  the  same 
objection  coming  up.  Very  few  desirable 
men  would  consent  to  such  a  liability  of 
service  unless  they  had  no  business  to  at- 
tend to.  The  national  Militia  so  formed 
would  have  to  go  to  great  expenses  for  uni- 
forms, arms,  and  pay,  and  would  require 
constant  drill  to  obtain  efficient  troops.  It 
would  accordingly  be  far  cheaper  to  add  a 
few  thousand!  men  to  tlie  regular  Army, 
whose  services  could  bo  always  counted 
upon.  Of  course,  it  would  be  possible  to  pro- 
vide for  an  enforced  system  of  national 
military  service,  but  that  has  always  been 
contrary  to  the  feelings  and  the  spirit  of  our 
people,  and  such  a  law  could  not  be  passed 
while  the  employment  of  professional  troops 
as  a  substitute  is  so  easy. 

Otir  belief  is  that  the  existing  appliances 
for  preserving  law  and  order  are  ample, 
provided  that  they  are  carefully  reviewed 
and  improved  under  the  light  of  the  past 
fortnight's  teachings.  |  We  have,  first,  tho 
Police  of  the  great  cities,  and  the  Sheriff's 
posse  in  the  coiinties.  The  former  may 
well  be  called  experts  I  in  dealing  with  riots. 
It  would  seem  desirable  to  make  provision 
for  instantly  increasing  the  local  Police 
force  to  double  pr  trel;ile  its  size  by  having 
lists  ready  of  men  who  can  be  called  upon 
at  once — men  who  have  had  experience  in 
police  duty,  and  who  are  sober,  brave,  dis- 
creet, and  trustwbrthyj  whose  residences  are 
known,  and:who '  are  iilways  at  call.  After 
these  comes  thejbodyof  citizens  generally, 
and  this  contains  |  a  mo.st  valuable 
element  in  the  ex-volunteers  who  have  seen 


service  in  actual  i war. 


Their  surviving  or- 


ganizations! and  isocieties  of  various  kinds 
should  be  regarded  with  more  interest  than 
heretofore,  in  view  of  i  their  possible  useful- 
ness in  protecting  the  community  from  mob 
rule.  Then  wo  come  to  the  volunteer  mili- 
tia system,  which,  in  many  States,  palpably 
needs  most:  thoroughi  reorganizing.  Xew- 
York  stands  at  the  very  head  of  the  volun- 
teer Militia^  in  -point  'of  general  efficiency, 
and  may  be  said  to  show  how  far  au  ex- 
ceptionally good  orgaitizatiou  can  overcome 
inherent  defects  in  8)i|tem.  Even  with  us, 
the  serious  duties  to  which  the  militiaman 
is  liable  must  henceforth  be  made  the  chief 
object  of  attention,  instead  of  good-fellow- 
ship and  showy  parade.  Finally,  we  have 
the  regular  .Vrmy,  which  must  be  kept  at 
such  strength  henceforth  that  this,  which 
is  the  only  force  now  existing  in  the  nation 
that  can  bejiustantly  dispatched  to  a  threat- 
ened point  without  regard  to  the  liraitatiou 
of  State  lines,  shall  be  sufficient  to  give  a 
sense  of  seeuritv  to  the  people,  and  cause 
the  lawle.ss  to  hesitate  before  breaking  into 


insurrection.

^.V  AFFAIR  OF  HOXOR, 
The  Russian  defeat  in  Bulgaria,  Chief 
Joseph's  escape Ifrom  Gen.  Uow.\Ri>,and  the 
,  railroad  rebellion  were  all  lost  sight  of  yes- 
terday, when  it  was  noised  abroad  that 
"  Jay  GoftD  had  got  licked."  That  a  man 
who  represents  at  least  one  hundred  million 
dollars  and  a  leading  American  newspaper 
should  have  been  soundly  walloped  seemed 
too  good  to  be  true.  -A,s  the  news  spread, 
there  was  a  '  general  feeling  of  re- 
gret— that  the  walloping  had  been 
so  private.  Everybody  who  ever  lost 
money  in  Wall-street  wished  that 
he  had  seen  the  fight.  It  is  not 
every  day  that  oue  can  gaze  on  a 
hundred  million  doUiirs  being  held  up  by 
the  nape  of  its  neck  while  its  head  is  being 
punched.  To  see  so  much  money  dropped, 
like  a  wet  hen,  into  a  barber's  window 
would  afford  a  new  joy  to  the  bhis^  youth 
who  frequent  the  Stock  E.whange.  iVnd  it 
is  credibly  reported  that  when  the  repre- 
sentative of  one  hunilred  millions  and  a 
leading  American  newspaper  went  over  the 
i-ailings,  with  its  head  punched,  only  a  few 
favored  persons  were  on  the  spot  to  enjoy 
the  spectacle.  Several  athletic  yoi^ig 
brokers,  who  thiis  lost  au  opportunity  to 
save  the  great  financier  ami  get  a  good  cus- 
tomer, bewail  their  hard  luck. 

E.\actly  how  personal  cast igation  can  com- 
pensate one's  losses  iu  the  stock  market  is 
not  clear.  In  this  case,  it  appears  that  Jay 
Gould  agreed,  or  is  alleged  to  have  agreed, 
to  parry  out  a  certain  programme  iu  buying 
an<i  selling  stocks.  That  he  did  not  do  as 
he  agreed,  is  also  alleged.  There  seems  to 
have  been  in  the  breasts  of  the  guileless 
Califoniians  to  whom  the  alleged  promise 
wasniadeVan  infatuated  belief  in  the  good 
faith  of  GoL'LD.  This  may  seem  incredible, 
but  unless  this  affair  has  been  mis-reported, 
the  Califomians  who,  of  com-se,  know 
everything,  or  think  they  know  evcrthiug, 
actually  expected  Jay  Goild  to  do 
what  he  agreed  to  do.  We  need  not  say  to 
the  intelligent  reader  that  the  unsophisti- 
cated strangers  from  the  Pacific  were  unde- 
ceived, and  that  their  experience  with 
Gould  was  costly  and  instructive.  But  tho 
punishment  inflicted  upon  the  person  of 
Gould,  we  submit,  in  the  interest  of  our 
common  humanity,  is  entirely  disproportion- 
ate to  the  alleged  offense.  If  Mr.  Daniel 
Drew,  or  Mr.  .Sage,  or  Mr.  D;  D.  Field,  or 
any  other  gentleman  of  conspicuous  probity 
of  character  had  "  gone  back  on  his  word'' 
with  Messr^.  Selover  and  Keene,  the  pro- 
vocation would  have  been  great.  But  that 
the  Califomians  should  object  to  Jay 
Gould's  breaking  faith,  and  make 
that  a  •  cause  of  war,  is  surprising. 
If  reprisals  like  this  are  to  be  coun- 
tenanced, Mr.  Jay  Gould  will  be 
hung  up  by  the  nape  of  the  neck  and  puni- 
meled  by  indignant  stock  operators  from 
January  to  December.  As  Gould  is  popu- 
larly known  as  a  bear,  wo  trust  that  the 
Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to 
Animals  will  interfere  to  stop  such  a  cruel 
and  unusuarpunishment.  Let  the  intelligent 
reader  conceive,  if  he  can,  of  all  the 
victims  of  Jay  Gould's  economy  of  truth 
treating  him  after  the  Selover  manner. 
Fancy  the  wreck  of  manhood  which  would 
survive  when  the  indignation  of  mankind 
had  expended  itself  by  holding  Gould  in 
the  air  with  one  hand  while  he  was  duly 
pounded  by  the  |Other  hand. 

Some  four  yeals  ago,  a  Mr.  Maeri jj  had  a 
grievance  with  Gould,  which  was  precisely 
like  that  which  awoke  the  ^Tath  of  Selover. 
On  that  occsision  Marrin  flattened  the  nose 
of  Gould  to  an  extent  which  was  judicially 
determined  to  damage  bim  jjx  the  amount  of 


lk\,/' 


$200.  Marrdt,  strange  as  it  may  seem,  al- 
leged as  an  excuse  for  his  assault  on  GtoULD's 
nose  that  that  eminent  financier  had  "refused 
to  fulfill  his  honorable  pledges."  These 
two  attacks  on  an  operator  who 
has  gained  considerable  celebrity  for 
not  keeping  his  word  will,  of 
course,  constitute  legal  precedents  in  Wall- 
street.  In  the  first  place,  custom,  which  is 
more  influential  than  written  statutes,  will 
prescribe  that  a  man  who  has  the  worst  of 
a  stock  operation  shall  maid  his  successful 
antagonist.  It  will  be  Stock  Exchange  eti- 
quette for  the  loser  to  lift  the  winner 
by  the  nape  of  his  neck,  and  hav- 
ing abraded  his  nose  ^  and  ears,  to 
drop  him  into  an  area,  where  he 
can  be  picked  up  and  repaired  by  a  friendly 
barber.  Next,  it  must  be  insisted  upon 
that  the  value  of  Jay  GouT/D's  nose  hav- 
ing been  legally  fixed  at  $200,  the  dam- 
ages on  this  occasion  mu-st  be  assessed 
accordingly.  A  surgical  survey  will  de- 
termine how  far  tho  abrasions,  contusions, 
and  extravasations  inflicted  by  Selover 
exceed  in  extent  those  which  resulted 
from  the  assault  of  Marrdt.  The  previous 
ease  evidently  constitutes  a  legal,  as  wdll  as 
moral,  precedent  for  the  present  one.  And 
in  determining  the  question  of  damages,  the 
courts,  happily,  have  a  basis  of  valuation 
as  definite  as  if  the  books  recorded  it  thus  : 
"  One  Gould  nose  mashed.  $200."  Here- 
after, we  shall  get  on  without  needless  con- 
fusion. An  operator  who  is  "  too  smart  " 
maybe  soundly  walloped.  Damages  are  as- 
sessable on  the  basis  of  Jay  Gould's  nose  as 
flattened  in  1873. 


A  TEST  OF  EXDCRAXCE. 

The  receiit  events  of  the  war  recall  the 
Iron  Duke's  words  at  Waterloo  :  "  Hard 
pounding,  gentlemen — we  shall  see  who  will 
pound  the  longest."  A  constant  succession 
of. bloody  encounters,  at  Rustchuk,  Silistria, 
Yeni-Saghra,  Ple\iia,  and  Rasgrad,  have 
compressed  into  three  weeks  the  havoc  of 
an  entire  campaign  ;  and  the  great  battle 
in  which  the  third  attack  on  Plevna  has  just 
cuhninated,  though  doubtless  exaggerated 
by  rumor,  has  evidently  been  the  most 
murderous  of  all.  And  wheii  to  the  casual- 
ties of  war  we  superadd  those  of 
dise.ise,  hunger,  fatigue,  lack  of  shelter, 
defective  surgery,  and  want  of  proper 
care,  we  need  not  wonder  at 
the  visible  signs  of  exhaustion  shown  by 
both  combatants.  Of  the  reinforcements 
hastily  ordered  up  frow  Constantinople, 
nearly  one-half  appear  to  be  raw  levies,'  au 
ominous  symptom  at  this  early  stage  of  the 
war.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Russians  have 
recently  called  out  their  reserves,  and  ,  are 
endeavoring  to  supply  the  gap  in  their 
mnster-roll  by  the  formation  of  two  fresh 
army  corps,  with  a  combined  strength  of 
sO.OOU  men — a  sufficient  proof  of  the  fear- 
ful drain  already  made  upon  their  military 
strength,  vast  as  it  is. 

It  should  be  remembered,  however,  that 
the  actual  consumption  of  life  on  the  battle- 
field or  in  the  hospital  is  but  a  part  of  the 
deduction  which  must  be  made  from  the 
strength  of  both  combatants.  Of  the  seven 
corps  composing  the  Turkish  Army,  at  least 
two  are  constantly  employed  iu  keeping 
down  the  chronic  insubordiniition  of  the 
provinces ;  and  now,  with  Crete  violently 
disaffected,  Thessaly  hardly  kept  back  by 
Greece  from  open  revolt,  and  Greece  herself 
holding  menacing  language,  the  added  diffi- 
culties of  the  situation  are  neither  few  nor 
slight.  Nor  is  Russia  more  fortunate  than 
her  rival.  Out  of  her  peace  establishment 
of  1,173.879  men,  she  has  to  maintain 
163,759  in  the  Caucasus,  22,294  in  Cen- 
tral ;Vsia,  11,044  in  Western  and  14.S10 
in  Ea.sleni  Siberia,  and  6,288  in  tho  Oren- 
burg District,  on  the  Asiatic  frontier — to  all 
of  which  must  now  be  added  a  large  "  army 
of  observation"  in  the  uuhealthy  re- 
gions of  Western  Poland,  where  30,000 
men  perished  by  disease  in  the  Summer 
of  1654.  without  seeing  the  face  of  au  en- 
emy. The  present  military  strength  of  Rus- 
sia, on  its  war  footing,  is  50,275  officers 
and  1,771,387  rank  and  file,  iu  addition  to 
which,  and  to  the  reserves  just  called  out, 
she  has  still  one  final  resource  iu  tho 
*'  Xarodnoii  Opoltchenie,"  or  levee-en-masse, 
which  \-irtually  puts  into  tho  ranks  everv 
man  capable  of  bearing  arins.  This  is  so 
extreme  a  measure  as  to  have  been  adopted 
only  twice  in  the  present  century — during 
the  great  crisis  of  1812  and  just  before  the 
death  of  the  Emperor  Nichol.a,s,  in  1855  ; 
but  sh<mld  the  war  continue  long  on  its 
present  scale  of  unsparing  carnage,  it  is 
possible  that  the  "national  armament"  may 
yet  be  found  necessary  once  more. 


TBE  MW SUMMER  IXFAST. 

The  Jime-bug  has  departed.  The  meas- 
uring-worm, which  rudely  undertakes  to 
satisfy  its  insatiable  curiosity  as  to  the 
immber  of  square  inches  coutai  ned  iu  the 
masculine  coat  and  the  feminine  skirt,  has 
finished  its  geometric  labors,  and  has 
ah'eady  made  its  August  appearance  in  the 
thin  disguise  of  a  moth.  These  and  other 
.Summer  nuisances  have  passed  away,  but  the 
season  when  our  parks  and  streets  are  in- 
fested with  babies  is  just  now  at  its  very 
height. 

The  common  domestic  baby  (infans  do-, 
meslicus)  is  well  known  to  all  naturalists, 
and  is  almost  as  popular  among  women  as  a 
household  pet  as  is  the  Skye  terrier.  LiN- 
s.EUS  supposed  that  he  had  recognized  sev- 
eral distinct  species  of  babies,  but  the  best 
modern  authorities  hold  that  he  mistook  the 
various  stages  of  development  through  which 
the  baby  passes  for  so  many  different  spe- 
cies, just  as  in  still  earlier  days  the  caterpil- 
lar and  the  butterfly  were  supposed  to  be 
entirely  different  insects.  In  its  earliest 
stage  the  baby  is  either  held  in  the  arms  of 
a  small  girl  or  a  larger  nurse,  or  else  it 
is  left  to  wallow  on  the  grass  of  the 
parks  or  on  the  street  pavements.  When 
it  passes  from  this  larva  state  and  takes  to 
itself  wheels,  in  connection  with  a  baby 
wagon,  it  flits  from  path  to  path,  and  fre- 
quently travels  over  miles  of  pavement. 
Whatever  may  be  its  age,  it  has  a  fondness 
for  the  neighborhood  of  foimtains  and  for 
the  cool  shade  of  trees.  This  fact  may  be 
easily  verified  by  the  slightest  o'oservation. 
During  the  Summer  aftemopns  the  foun- 
tains in  Madison  and  Union  squares  are  so 
thickly  infested  with  babies  as  to  be  almost 
unapproachable,  while  under  every  tree 
that  casts  a  shadow  upon  the  pavement  the 
ground  is  fairly  alive  with  crawling  infants. 

Among  the  most  noticeable  qnalities  of  the 
infant  ai-e  the  wonderful  strength-  of  its 
various  parts,  and  its  remarkable  vitality. 
If  a  grasshopper  or  other  small  insect  with 


abundant  legs  be  seized  and  lifted  by  one  of 
them,  the  leg  immediately  breaks  loose  and 
the  insect  escapes.  The  human  infant,  on 
the  contrary,  is  often  suspended  by  one  arm, 
and  even  dragged  long  distances,  while  its 
nurse  is  earnestly  conversing  with  a  male 
friend.  No  instance  has  yet  been  known  of 
the  arm  giving  way  nnder  such  circum- 
stances, and  it  is  believed  that  the  infantile 
leg  is  at  least  equally  strong.  Infants  are 
daily  to  be  seen  lying  head  downward  across 
a  nurse's  lap,  or  dangling  over  the  back  of  a 
bench  in  a  position  that  suggests  apoplexj', 
suffocation,  and  other  fatal  results. 
These  infants,  however,  always  ex- 
hibit unimpau'ed  vigor  when  replaced  in 
a  natural  position,  and  will  promptly  swal- 
low marbles,  small  pebbles,  or  any  other 
food  which  may  be  given  to  them.  It 
should  also  be  rhentioned  that,  although  the 
infant  greatly  prefers  the  shade,  it  does  not 
seriously  suffer  from  exposure  to  the  sun. 
Indeed,  it  is  a  matter  of  every -day  occurrence 
to  find  infants  strapped  tightly  in  carriages 
and  left  for  hours  to  the  direct  rays  of  the 
sun.  Usually  they  betray  uneasiness,  but 
when  the  nurse's  attention  is  attracted  to 
them,  and  they  are  violently  sha'ien,  they 
seem  to  regain  their  usual  strength  and 
spirits. 

It  may  be  safely  said  that  the  infant  is  hot 
dangerous,  except  in  rare  and  peculiar  cir- 
cumstances. It  is  perhaps  the  part  of  pru- 
dence for  a  man  to  decline  to  hold  a  baby  of 
very  tender  years,  but  no  baby,  when  firmly 
giasped  with  both  hands  and  held  at  arm's 
length, need  be  dreaded,  especially  if  care  is 
taken  -  to  hold  it  upside  do%vn.  The 
wheeled  infant,  however,  does  occasional- 
ly inflict  injuries  more  or  less  se- 
rious upon  unwary  people.  An  infant 
of  this  sort  is  sometimes  violently 
wheeled  against  old  gentlemen  who  are  in- 
cautiously walking  in  localities  infested 
with  babies,  and  in  some  cases  the  victim 
has  actually  fallen  backward  upon  the  in- 
fant, and  sustained  fractures  and  abrasions 
cf  a  really  distressing  nature.  These  in- 
juries, however,  ought  not  to  be  directly 
ascribed  to  the  infants  themseU'es.  but  are 
rather  the  fault  of  nurses,  who  will  persist 
in  blindly  wheeling  infants  while  at  the 
same  time  watching  over  their  own  shoul- 
ders the  retreating  forms  of  eligible  young 
men.  Still,  no  such  accidents  could  occur 
in  regions  where  babies  are  unknown,  and 
this  fact  cannot  be  ignored  or  misinter- 
preted. 

To  those  who  hotly  urge  the  immediate 
extii-pation  of  babies  from  the  public  streets, 
or  the  pa-ssage  of  an  ordinance  authorizing 
the  summary  suppression  of  all  unmuzzled 
infants  who  are  not  carried  in  their  nurse's 
arms,  it  should  be  said  that  these  extreme 
measures  do  not  seem  to  be  as  yet  justifi- 
able. There  is  no  doubt  that  those  persons 
who  have  shade  trees  in  front  of  their 
houses  do  suffer  much  inconvenience  from 
the  swarms  of  infants  who  infest  those  trees 
during  Midsummer.  The  attempts  at  con- 
versation and  at  public  oratory  made  by 
babies  of  less  than  thi'ee  years  of  age  are  as 
ill-judged  and  unsatisfactory  as  the  attempts 
at  singing  made  by  the  injudicious  hen.  and 
the  man  who  constantly  fijids  from  six  to 
twelve  infants  congregated  under  his 
shade'  trees,  and  vieing  with  one 
another  in  efforts  to  express  their 
views  upon  public  and  private  topics, 
naturally  feels  inclined  to  take  stern  and 
decisive  measures.  It  would,  however,  be 
impolitic  to  perihit  the  killing  of  infants  by 
private  citizens  other  than  regular  medical 
practitioners,  and  it  is  doubtful  if  public 
sentiment  would  support  the  appointment 
of  official  infant-slayers.  There  are  many 
persons  who  have  a  strong  liking  for  in- 
fants, and  who  place  upon  them  quite  as 
high  a  value  as  dog-fanciers  place  upon 
their  canine  pets-  Moreover,  the  law  has 
recognized  the  right  of  property  in  infants, 
if  not  from  time  immemorial,  at 
least  from  .  the  time  of  the  cel- 
ebrated partition  suit  decided  by  Solomox 
Justice,  in  the  Hebrew  Court  of  Appeals. 
Instead  of  proceeding  at  once  to  extermina- 
tion, it  would  be  well  to  attempt  to  regulate 
the  e^il  and  to  bring  it  within  tolerable 
limits.  If  the  owner  of  a  sidewalk  shade- 
tree  were  to  display  conspicuously  the 
warning,  "  Post  no  infants  under  this  tree." 
his  wishes  would  probably  be  respected,  es- 
pecially if  he  were  to  agree  to  keep  beer  on 
draught  under  his  front  steps,  where  the 
local  policeman  could  readily  find  it.  If  an 
ordinance  were  to  be  passed  requiring  all 
infants  to  be  licensed  and  muzzled;  for- 
bidding the  more  dangerous  wheeled  in- 
fants to  infest  the  sidewalk  except  in  certain 
specified  parts  of  the  city ;  and  punishing 
any  violations  of  tiiis  ordnance  with  imme- 
diate confiscation  of  the  offending  infant, 
much  good  might  be  done.

It  was  worth  his  while  to  have  made  the  mis-

Then  the  Premier  told  the  story  of  the  ynnuz 
man's  17  years  of  labor  in  the  public  service  : 
how  he  had  earned  the  right  to  this  promotion  : 
how  it  was  for  the  benefit  of  the  nation,  and 
finally,  how  the  Premier  declined  to  receive 
the  resignation  which  Mr.  Pigott  Iiarl  honorably 
tendered  him.  The  stoiy  is  an  entertainiuft 
episode  of  the  details  of  govemmtrnt,  and  it  i- 
in  no  way  discreditable  to  any  jwrson  or  persotu  i 
concerned.  A3  it  turns  out.  everyl>o<iy  was 
right — the  House  of  Commons  in  rebuking  the 
slightest  show  of  inu-rference  with  privilege  ; 
Lord  Beaconsfield  that  what  he  did'  was  evi- 
dently prompted  by  th'_-  hi^rhesi  motives. 

Touching  recent  relerenc:fs  Jo  the  Earl  of 
Beaconsfield's  retirement  from  pnbii*-  life.  I  h&vt 
every  reason  to  boiieve  that  the  Premier  I.^,^; 
week  tendered  his  resignation  to  the  Queen  and 
that  her  Majesty  declined  to  accept  it-  Never- 
theless, the  idea  that  the  Premier  will  r&^igii 
has  fixed  itself  in  the  gossip  of  MinifCerial 
circles.  I  often  chink  a  pra>-tH*ed  journalist 
gets  at  a  piece  of  news  of  this  kind  by  instiuct, 
aiid  it  is  certain  thai  the  most  trilling 
circumstances  often  indicate  with  unerriag  cer- 
tainty -the  coming  on  of  great  events.  It  is  . 
quite  possible  that  the  Earl  means  to  make  sev- 
eral appointments  before  the  se.<sion  closes,  and 
that  his  long  and  charming  explanation  in  re- 
gard to  Pigott  is  intended  to  cover  some  other

.sona  that  the  Premier  held  .them  back  In 
that  his  enezaies  might  be'  trapped  into  j,. 
him  an  opportunity  for  a  characteristic  vindica- 
tiottof  himself.  When  Lord  Beaconsfield  re- 
tires the  Duke  of  Richmond  will  be  intrusted 
■with  tbe  duty  of  re-forming  the  Ministry. 

Althoufifh  we  are  now  only  in  the  middle  of 
July,  the 'prorogation  of  Parliament  \^  talked 
about,  and  the  "slaughter  of  the  innocents," 
as  the  postponement  or  lapsing  of  bills  is 
caUed,  has  already  begun.  A  vote  of  credit 
for  £2.000.000  or  more  will  be  asked  for  to 
meet  possible  military  and  naval  contingencies 
before  the  session  is  brou^rht  to  a  close.  An- 
other important  matter  will  be  put  fairly  in 
train  between  now  and  prorogation,  a  commis- 
sion to  inquire  into  the  case  of  the  suicide  of  a 
pupil  of  Christ's  Hospital  School,  through  the 
sieged  tyranny  oi  one  of  the  monitors.  The 
Recorder  of  Liondon.  Sir.   Walter,  M.  P.,  (pro- 

Sriotor  of  the  Times,)  ^  and  Mr.  Forster,  M.  P.. 
[r.  Walpole,  31.  P.,  and  the  Dean  of  Christ 
Church  will  be  the  Commissioners.  They  are 
to  sit  with  closed  doors :  but  their  report  will 
form  the  subject  of  a  Blue  Book.  The  monito- 
rial punishments,  the  "faeging,"  and  big-boy 
tyrannies  of  our  public  schools  are  a  disgrace  to 
our  scholastic  system,  and  if  the  poor  little  stii- 
cide  of  Christ  Church  brings  about  a  re- 
form in  this  direction,  his  martyrdom 
will  prove  as  blessed  a  sacrifice  as  it  is 
melancholy  and  sad.  American  students 
of  Charles  Lamb,  with  the  mention  of  Christ's 
Hospital,  will  recall  his  description  of  the  hard 
life  of  a  biuivcuat  boy  in  his  day.  Thej- have 
'  no  doubt,  with  thousands  of  cultivated  English 
readers  lon-r  sineo  eoTue  to  the  conclusion  that, 
like  Dntliob'tys  Hall,  of  Dickens,  the  gloom 
of  Christ's  Hospital  has  passed  away.  I  fear  it 
is  not  so.  Every  fev,-  years  "tunding"  and 
*■  fagging"  and  other  barbarities  practiced  at 
Winchester.  Wesimioster.  Eton,  and  Marl- 
boroua:h  crop  up  :  but  the  general  desire  to 
stand  by  authoriry  in  England  eventually  leaves 
the  mattc-r  in  the  hands  of  the  mastt-rs  of  the 
coUeses  and  sch{K>ls,  aud  bullying  and  beating 
go  on.  Tiiore  is  one  establishment,  however. 
.  where  all  iKis  is  abolished.  The  King's  College 
Schools  :'.re  frt-e  t'roru  these  blighting  relics  of 
barbarism.  With  regard  to  Christ's  Hospital. 
Rev.  Audrew  Drew,  incumbent  of  St.  Antho- 
liu-s.  Nun  head,  mak',-s  the  following  startling 
Statement : 

"I  can  only  say  that  the  seven  years  which  T  spent 
In  that  school  wore  years  of  raisery  and  sufforia-;. 
and.  although  I  am  nuw  40  j-Trars  of  age,  and  have 
several  sons  of  my  own,  Bfethiag  in.  this  world  should 
induce  nie  to  send  i>ne  of  them  to  the  same  schooL 
As  rvsranls  the  edufatioii  given,  I  believe  that 
Christ'^H  Hospital  is  second  to  no  school  in  England  ; 
but  when  I  have  snid  thb;  I  have  said  all  that  can  be 
said  In  its  y-mijie.  The  food,  in'mch  good  of  its  kind. 
was.  and  stiU  is.  utterly  insufficient  in  quantity  :  the 
treatment  was  suL-h  as  to  make  every  boy  detest  the 
Bchool  :  anJ  the  imnishments  were  sinipiy  brutal  la 
Their  severity,  aud  often  were  meted  out  with  but 
scanty  jastiJe.'' 

Poor  Charles  Lamb!  what  hbi  gentle  nature 
»ndured  at  Ciirist's  Hospital  has  been  narrated 
by  his  own  ^lea  m  a  painfully  pathetic  contribu- 
tion to  tua  records  of  vouthful  sufferings. 
,  There  are  ajrae  changes  for  the  better  siuce 
then,  but  not  uiany.  The  French  are  far  ahead 
of  the  Eiijrlish  in  respect  and  sympathy  for  the 
troubles  a^d  anxieties  of  childhood  in  its  schol- 
astic matnculatiun  fur  the  battle  of  life. 

The  condilieiQ  of  the  Church  of  England  con- 
tinues to  icive  good  men  serious  causes  of 
anxiety,  llie  Priest  in  Abaolution  has  created  a 
scandal  that  will  be  a  long  and  lasting  sore. 
The  bofjk.  it  turns  out.  is  an  adaptation  of  a 
French  Roman  Catholic  handbook  of  the  priest- 
hood. A  correspondent  writes  to  one  of  the 
journals  to  say  that  Rev.  >lr.  Willacy,  of  Man- 
chestt-r.  calling  himself  a  "mission  priest/* 
held  a  wet-k  ;=  services  at  Clay  Cross,  in  Derby- 
shire, and  in  a  sermon  "delivered  to  men 
only.*'  stated  that  ''he  had  it  on  the  authority 
of  the  prif-.--t.s,  wt-U  able  to  judge  and  form  an 
opinion,  that  only  one  man  in  seven  was  pure  in 
word  and  thAu-.riit.  and  only  one  woman  in  thir- 
teen." "  Where  coidd  the  authorities/'  asks  the 
corresp* indent.  *'ha.v©  obtained  their  informa- 
tion but  by  the  aid  of  The  Priest  in  Absolution. 
3kot  a  wf-ek  passes  that  does  not  bring  to  light 
i*ome  Tif'v  combination  of  clergymen  for 
the  T'ur^ioso  of  obtaining  an  unfair 
ascentlency  over  the  souls  and  actions 
of  tlK-irconsregations.  The  Ridsdale  judgment 
luis  ritttrted  the  F'-'lkestone  ritualists  on  the  riffht 
track  at-  last.  Tweuty-two  worshipers  at  Mr. 
jttidsdale's  church  have  gone  over  to  the  Church 
of  Rome,  and  a  crowd  of  other  converts  are 
about  to  be  received  into  ''the  Holy  Roman 
.Church."  A  man  mimed  Elliott  the  other  day 
jbroke  into  New  Cross  Church  and  destroyed  the 
confessinual-bos.  He  "was  arrested  in  the  act. 
^nd  will,  of  course,  bo  published  ;  but  thousands 
'of  Prott"*:ants  tt\-inpathize  with  him.  and  he 
]wiil  posjiibly  lose  nothing  by  his  daring  and 
jillegalact.  The  clergyman  who  used  the  con- 
tfessional-byx  should  share  Elliott's  prison. 
Tolerutioii  is  one  thing,  taking  the  Chun-h's 
stipend  and  outracing  her  doctrines  is  another. 
jChnrch  of  England  people^ltaatf'wish  to  stand 
jin  the  way  of  weak  parsons  who  desire  to 
go  over  to  Rome.  hut  they  do  ob- 
'ject  to  servants  of  the  Establishment  eating  the 
[bread  of  the  Church  aud  doing  the  work  of  the 
jPope.  It  is  a  siifniticant  sign  of  the  clerical 
.temper  Tha^.  notwichstanding  the  expressed  de- 
isire  of  the  Ap^hbishop  of  Canterbur>-.  the  "  Sub- 
ijects  Committee"  u[  the  Church  Congress  to  be 
'held  in  Uct.>ber  decline  to  remove  from  the  list

\  The  =ec-:ai;*m  of  thf»"  week  is  the  arrest  and 
committal  without  bail  of  Inspectors  Drusco- 
Titch,  MickU-john,  aud  Palmer,  of  the  Detective 
force  of  S.corland  Yard,  charged  with  being  in- 
volved in  ilie  ?;windlini<  of  Muie.  De  Goucourt 
ot  £10.000  by  a  ^ang  of  thieves  who  called 
themselves  **  sworn  book-makers."  The  case 
has  been  before  the  magistrates  for  many 
iuonth«.  the  thieves  having  betfU  arrested  with 
great  diflirulty.  At'ter  their  trial  and  sentence 
revelations  were  made  that  seemed  to  retlect  ou 
The  Pohce,  and  on  a  i-trict  inquiry  being  made. 
the  distiu;ruLshed  ofiicers  above  mentioned  were 
arrested  nndtir  a  warrant,  and  evidence  is  bein^ 
given  with  a  view  tu  show  that  the  detectives 
not  only  assii^ted  tho  thieves  to  elude  arrest. 
but  that  when  taken  they  were  parties 
to  a  concerted  plan  of  escape  from  prison  aud 
from  justice.  Mr.  Frogatt.  a  .lawyer,  is  also 
charged  with  being  implicated  with  the  detec- 
tivesl  but  he  is  allowed  to  be  at  large  on  bail. 
The  others  sto->d  in  the  dock  on  Wednesday. 
when  the  caKf  was  opened  against  them.  It  is 
a  complicated  story,  full  of  mysterious  tcde- 
grams,  letters,  appointments,  and  Police  slang, 
but  the  pith  of  it  is  that  these  officers  were 
bribed  (and  the  money  is  traced)  in  large  suras 
to  assist  the  swindlers  to  evade  detection,  and 
that  the  officers  were  in  active  collusion  to- 
gether for  this  purpose.  The  case  is  exciting 
profound  anxiety,  for  Dniscovitch  more 
particularly  has  been  concerned  in  the 
principal  Police  cases  of  London  for 
over  22  years,  and  the  other  men  are  tested 
officers.  whi*se  oaths  have  been  taken  and  acted 
•npon  in  many  a  !*erious  transaction.  Charges 
of  tyranny,  black -mailing,  and  injustice  have 
been  made  against  the  Police  for  years,  but 
supported  by  each  other  and  favored  by  the 
magistracy  as  public  ser\"ants  with  difficult  du- 
ties to  perfurm.  they  have  generally  defeated 
any  acti-Jtis  aj^:itist  them.  Whether  these  men 
ure  found  txiilxy  or  not.  the  public  confidence  is 
BO  shaken  in  regard  to  the  probity  and  honor  of 
.  the  DetfHjiive  Depanment  of  the  force  that  the 
most  painrul  re  tic:  t  ions  have  arisen  about  other 
cases  I n  which  the  prisoners  have  been  con- 
cerned. 

Sir  C.  Tempest,  whose  Tvife  ran  away  vrith 
Mr.  HunsT'-'i'for'-L,  left  for  Paris  ou  Sunday  night 
b>'  mail  t.'^tin,  on  the  track  of  the  fugitives.  He 
had  heai'd  of  them  at  Cannes,  and  it  is  thought 
by  this  time  the  two  men  have  met.  There 
\^t\»  a  rumf»r  in  society  yesterday  that  Mrs.  Hun- 
gerford  had  left  her  home  under  a  gallant  but 
luLsguideil  escort.     This  is  not  true. 

A  genlltinen  upon  whose  word  I  can  rely  tells 
me  that  when  tlie  C^ueen  passed  along  Pall 
Mall  the  other  day,  to  the  garden  party  of  the 
Prince  aud  Princess  of  "\Vales,  there  was  a 
crowd  to  s.-e  her  JIajesty.  but  she  was  allowed 
to  pass  ou  her  way  wiLhouti  a  single  cheer  from 
the  by-standers-  1  aui  sorry  to  hear  it  ;  for  the 
Queoh's  has  been  a  useful  and  blameless  life. 
The  TKjpulace  have  an  idea  that  she  is  stingy, 
and  ihey  hate  illiberaUtj'  in  hiijh  jilaces. 

CiWe  war  in  the  city.  It  will  end  in  a  reform 
of  the  coif'Onite  body,  the  iJnily  News  says. 
Perhaps.  Sir  John  Bennett's  election  as  an  Al- 
derman was  contested,  as  I  explained.  Whether 
it  was  confirmed  or  not,  I  stated  that  the  Board 
of  Aidertoen  would  decline  to  admit  him  to 
'their  chamber.  The  Recorder  of  London,  on  a 
serutiny.  declared  Sir  John  elected,  though  it 
was  proved  that  his  majority  was  obtained  by  a 
number  of  votes  being  created  at  the  last  mo- 
ment l)y  several  men  renting  the  same  offices, 
and  all  giving  separate  votes  for  the  same  place. 
The  Board  of  Aldermen,  in  spite  of  the  Re- 
*  oorder's  decision,  refuse  to  admit  him  to  their 
court.  They  have,  it  is  said,  the  power  to  do  so 
under  their  charter.  The  question  is  a  curious 
and  au  intiTestiog  one.  and  is  talked  about  and 
discussed  in  the  city  with  great  rancor  on  both 
fidesi. 

'Mjc,  Ernest  Griset,  an  artist,  whose  boolt  illus- 
trations are  no  doubt  as  well  known  in  the 
States  as  in  England,  has  had  a  pleasant  sensa- 
tion. The  papers  announced  his  death.  Art 
critics  and  others  discussed  his  professional 
merits.  Editors  and  critics  spoke  well  of  the 
man,  and  kindly  of  the  artist.  Griset  has  read 
their  articles  with  great  interest  He  is  alive 
»nd  delignted  to  and  himself  so  good  a  fellow 
is  the  estimation  of  the  world  at  large. 

▲t  the  end  of  the  present  lease,  which  expires, 


I  believe,  at  Easter,  next  year,  Mr.  Chatterton, 
it  is  said,  intends  to  retire  from  the  manage- 
ment of  Dmry  I^ne ;  and  it  is  possible  that  he 
may  also  give  up  the  Princess*.  The  Autumn 
season  will  open  at  the  national  theatre  -with  a 
romantic  drama  by  Wills,  founded  on  Peveril 
of  the  Pmkj  which  is  to  run  until  Christmas, 
after  which  ^e  pantomime  is  to  exhaust  Mr. 
Chatterton's  tenure.  Mr.  E.  L.  Blanchard  is 
writing  another  Summer  pantomime  for  tho 
Adelphj.  -  The  whole  of  the  performers  are 
to  be  children.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
Mr.  Chatterton  ran  his  children's  panto- 
mime of  last  year  up  to  the  Summer  season,  in  1 
with  very  satisfactoiT^  results.  *■  Jir.  Wills' 
dramatlo  version  of  Scott  will  be  in  blank 
verse.  The  late  Mr.  Andrew  Hd5hdav*3  greatest 
successes  as  an  adapter  for  Drury  Lane  were 
his  studies  of  the  great  Scotchman's  historical 
romances.  Mr.  Halliday  was  a  Northerner 
himself,  and  had  an  amount  of  practical  knowl- 
edge of  stagecraft  which  Mr.  Wills  does  not 
possess.  I  question  If  the  new  hand  will  be 
as  successful  in  arranging  theatricalpictures 
fbr  Drury  Lane  as  Halliday  was  ]  Wills  wiU 
exhaust  himself  in  the  dialogue.  His  blank 
verse  will  be  fine.  Bat  as  the  pit  aud  gallery 
hear  very  little  of  what  the  artists 
say,  tho  action,  situation3,  and  tab- 
leaux are  of  more  importance  than 
the  dialogue.  Mr.  Wills  will  turn  a  beauti- 
ful prose  story  into  a  dramatic  poem.  Halliilay 
would  have  turned  it  into  a  play.  It  is  proba- 
ble that  Italian  opera  will  come  back  to  Drury 
Lane  next  year.  The  new  house  on  the  Thames 
Embankment  does  not  progress ;  and  Mr.  Ma- 
pleson  now  finds  himself  between  three  stools, 
for  he  has  the  choice  of  Her  Slajesty's,  Drury 
Lane,  and  the  chance  of  the  new  house  at  West- 
minster being  finished,  for  several  noble  capi- 
talists are  said  to  be  nibbling  at  the  financial 
bait  oflTered  for  the  capital  necessary  for  com- 
pletion. 

The  last  operatic  novelty  of  the  season  was 
tho  production  at  the  Covent  Garden  hoijse  of 
*'Le  Vespe  Comari  di  Windsor,"  an  Italian  ver- 
sion of  Nicolai's  opera,  "  Die  LUstigen  Weiber 
von  Windsor."  A  version  pf  the  saniework  was 
performed  at  Her  Majesty's  in  1S64,  under  tho 
title  of  •'  Le  Spose  Aliegre  di  Windsor."  It  was 
not  successfuL  The  new  adaptation,  however, 
was  received  ^s^th  considerable  favor,  and  it  has 
been  repeated  during  the  week.  The  libretto  is 
written  by  Mr.  Mosenthal,  whose  drama  of 
**  Leah*'  is  well  known  on  both  sides  of  the  At- 
lantic. Bidfe's  treatment  of  Shakespeare's  lively 
work  is  a  more  popular  view  of  it  than  that 
adopted  by  Mosenthal  and  Xicolai ;  biit  none  of 
the  operatic  illustrations  of  Shakespeare  are 
particularly  successfid.  For  example.  Arabroise 
Thomas'  "Hamlet"  was  done  on  Wednesday 
night.  It  reduced  the  treasury  receipts,  and 
gave  no  special  satisfaction  to  the  audience. 
Thursdav  night,  however,  made  up  for  tho 
double  disappointment.  Patti  played  Marguerite 
and  Nicolini  I'aust.  On  Thursday  night  the 
admirers  of  Albani  crowded  the  theatre  to  en- 
joy her  Lucia,  Gayarr6  playing  Edgardo.  To- 
night closes  Mr.  Gye's  successful  and  notable 
season.  The  programme  is  **Aida."  \rith  Patti 
as  AXfla  and  Xicolini  as  Hadam^s.  At  Her 
Majesty's,  the  subscription  season  is  announced 
to  end  on  July  24,  and  the  opera-house  will 
close  on  the  28th.  Nilsson  continues  to  be  a 
sure  and  certain  draw  wherever  she  appears.  I 
recently  had  an  opportunity  of  comparing  her 
Marguerite  with  that  of  the  rival  artist  atCovent 
Garden,  and  there  can  be  iw  doubt  abtrot  tho 
higher  qualities  of  Patti's  performance.  Nilsson 
is  too  self-conscious.  She  Is  always  Nilsson, 
and  always  charming ;  but  Patti  is  an 
actress,  and  she  is  frequently  the  char- 
acter she  represents,  '  and  when  that 
character  is  Juliet  or  Marguerite,  she  combines 
the  fascination  of  the  poet's  conception  with 
her  own  personal  charms  and  artistic  graces. 
"To-day  Mr.  Mapleson.  the  enterprising  impre- 
sario, takes  his  benefit  at  the  Crystal  Palace, 
which  is  selected  for  the  purpose  in  order  that 
his  friends  may  have  room  enough  to  make  the 
event  a  great  financial  success.  The  Prince  and 
Prin.eess  of  Wales  patronize  the  performance, 
and  ihe  programme  is  specially  attractive.  Jlr. 
Mapleson's  efforts  in  the  interest  of  operatic  art 
deserv^e  recognition,  and  the  names  of  his  royal 
patrons,  his  list  of  artists,  and  his  splendid 
band  will  be  sure  to  make  ti>day  memorablo  in 
the  season's  doings  at  the  Palace.

have  offered  $7,000  to  any  one  who  would  rescue  his 
trunk  from  the  flames  at  the  time  of  the  accident  on 
the  Georgia  railway.  It  contained  valuable  papers 
and  $20,D00  ii*  bonds,  and  was  destroyed. 

Georgia  newspapers  complain  that  there  is 
too  much  gab  in  the  Constitutional  Couventiou,  and 
too  much  attention  to  petty  details.  "  Give  us, "  sen- 
sibly says  one,  "grand  principles  that  will  rule  for 
centuries,  not  mere  trides  that  must  be  altered  with 
to-day." 

Yesterday's  rural  exchanges  reported  a  borer 
that  la  killing  the  pear  trees,  a  worm  that  goes  into 
one  end  of  a  growing  corn-cob  and  comes  out  gorged 
at  the  other,  and  a  worm  that  is  doing  much  damage 
to  cane  aud  com  in  Loolsiana.  Thus  does  the  enu- 
meration of  new  pests  daily  go  on. 

An  elderly  woman  in  Watertown  attempted 
to  pull  apart  a  partially-split  slick  of  firewood  the 
other  day,  but  failed,  and  tlie  stick  closed  painfully 
upon  her  fingers.  She  called  a  young  ghl  to  her  re- 
lief, and  the  latter  also  was  caught.  They  were 
compelled  to  apply  to  a  chance  passer-by  for  release. 

Now  that  the  Eepublican  Party  of  the  State. 
has  disbanded,  the  Columbus  (Miss.)  Indez  shame- 
lessly sayB  that  "the  causes  which  justified  the 
fraud  and  violence  heretofore  attending  elections" 
no  longer  exist,  and  that  "the  purity  of  the  ballot 
must  bo  restoied,  and  the  citizen  protected  in  his 
suf&age."  , 

A  lady  in  Lewiaton,  Me.,  absent-mindedly 
walked  out  on  Sunday  afternoon  without  her  hat. 
She  did  not  discover  its  absence  until  she  had  got

Washington,  Aug.  2. — The  South  Caro- 
lina Democracy  have  had  representatives  in  this 
city  for  some  time  who  have  been  urging  the 
President  to  instruct  the  United  States  District 
Attorney  for  that  State  to  nol.  pros,  the  cases 
now  pending  against  nearly  200  of  the  Pal- 
metto aristocracy,  chai^d  with  murdering  in- 
offensive negroes  at  Ellenton  and  Hamburg 
merely  because  they  were  Republicans  and  per^ 
sisted  in  supporting  the  nominees  of  the  Cin- 
cinnati Convention.  While  these  chivalric 
Carolinians  would  fain  invoke  Executive  clem- 
ency for  murders  committed,  they  persist  in 
their  unrelenting  persecution  of  every  promi- 
nent Republican  in  the  State,  and  declare  their 
purpose  to  drive  them  into  the  Penitentiary  or 
beyond  the  limits  of  South  CarolinaT  It  ap- 
pears that  they  are  basing  the  arrests  now 
being  made  there  upon  the  unsupported  evi- 
dence of  es-Gov.  Moses,  who  has  turned  State's 
evidence,  and  upon  the  vouchers  found  among 
the  papers  of  ex-Treasurer  Niles  G.  Parker. 
WTien  it  is  remembered  how  Parker 
was  Indicted  and  tried  at  Columbia 
three  years  since  for  altering  the  records 
of  hLs  office,  in  connection  with  other  frsluds,  it 
is  surprising  that  any  one  should  be  arraigned 
upon  any  such  evidence  from  his  hands.  There 
is  no  disgidsing  the  fact  that  Hampton  and  Ids 
followers  have  adopted  the  * '  driving  out "  policy 
to  rid  tho  State  of  the  Republican  leaders. 
Elnowing  that  the  '*  shot-gun  *'  pplicy  Will  injure 
the  Democracy  if  resorted  to  in  next  year's 
campaign,  they  have  adopted  the  easier  plan  of 
convicting  Republican  leaders  upon  trumped-up 
charges  or  of  driving  them  from  the  State.  If 
these  trials  were  conducted  according  to  law,  as 
in  Northern  communities,  it  would  not  matter 
so  much,  but  the  fact  that  every  South  Carolina 
jury  is  organized  purposely  to  convict  Republi- 
cans, innocent  or  guilty,  makes  it  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  to  all  fair-minded  people.

MEETIXG  OP  DISSATISFIED  VOTERS  OP  THE 
FIFTEENTH  ASSEjItBLT  DISTRICT — BE- 
MABKS  OF  THE  SPEAKERS. 

A  considerable  number  of  Republicans  of  the 
Fifteenth  Assembly  !I)L«tri|ct,  who  claim  that  they 
were  illegally  prevented  from  voting  at  the  recent 
primary  election  of  the  District  Association,  met  last 
evening  at  No.  353  West  Thirty-fifthstreet,  to  pro- 
test, in  the  lang^iage  of  the  call,  "against 
Henry  G.  Leask's  arbitrary  ruling,"  on 
that  occasion.  Mr.  Winiam  H.  Montgomery, 
President  of  the  Republican  Club,  which  Mr.  Leask 
regards  as  a  rival  organization,  presided.  At  the 
opening  of  the  proceedings,  Mr.  Montgomery  said 
that  he  wished  to  haye  it  distinctly  understood  that 
the  meeting  was  not  that  of  a  new  association  in  op- 
position to  the  regular  one.  It  was  a  meeting  of  a 
EepubUcan  club  and  members  of  the  regular  associa- 
tion, who  were  dissatisfied  with  its  management  and 
wanted  a  change.        |  ■  ' 

Mr.  "William  Miller  referred  at  some  length  to  his 
protest  agidnst  tho  legality  of  the  election,  at  the 
close  of  the  primarj-  election.  He  claimed  that  the 
laws  of  tho  Central  i  Committee  governing  primary 
elections  had  been  grossly  violated.  Capt.  Charles 
J.  Farley,  who  avowed  himself  to  be  an 
officer  in  the  j  "Independent  Republican]' 
organization,  made  a'sneech  denouncing  the  Republi- 
can Central  Committee.  A  committee  of  this  latter 
body,  he  said,  had  reorganized  the  district  associa- 
tion in  lS7-t.  and  through  its  instrumentality  men 
were  made  members!  whu  had  no  right  to  be  placed 
upon  tlie  roll  After  this  reorganization  Mr. 
Lensk  was  elected  President.  There  could 
bo  no  justice  obtained,  he  said,  from  the 
Central  Committee,!  and'  ho  then  went  on  to 
inform  those  present, of  the  influence  and  aims  of  the 
''Independent  Republican"  organization,  and  the 
"  reform  "  in  Republican  politics  which  was  proposed 
to  be  brought  about  by  a  contest  which  he  and  other 
"Independents"  were  engaged  in  with  the  State 
Committee.  His  remprks  were  received  quietly  by 
the  respectable  portion  of  the  a.<!Bemblage,  and  were 
greeted  with  noisy  approval  by  the  rou^lier  element. 
Mr. .Miller  was  satisfied  that  the  Central  Commit-" 
tee  would  act  fairly  tb  all  parties  when  it  was  purged 
of  office-holders.  |Mr.  A.  V.  Caufield.  who 
was  elected  Ftr^t  Vice-President  of  the 
regular  association  at  the  rt*cent  primary, 
after  paying  a  hiah  compliment  to  President  Haves, 
said  he  had  not  sought  the  office  to  which  he  had 
been  elected.  He  concluded  his  remarks  by  .«!aying 
that  he  hoped  to  see  the  ir-fubles  in  the  association 
amicably  settled,  and  everybody  in  the  district  cor- 
dially co-operating  at  the  next  election  for  the  suc- 
cess of  the  Republican  Party,  ilr.  Caufield  was  in- 
ten-npted  with  a  few  cries  of  *' Xo.  Sir  !  No.  Sir!" 
at  this  stage  of  his  speech,  but  hisview.s  sefracd  to 
be  well  received  by  the  majority.  On  motion  of  Mr. 
Christian  F.  Tietjen.  a  committee  of  five  was  ap- 
pointed to  wait  upon  Mr.'  Henrj-  G.  Leask  and  de- 
mand of  him  the  privilege  of  examining  the  roll  of 
members  of  the  District  Association.  aft*r  which 
the  meeting  adjourned.  The  committee  appointed 
consists  of  C.  F.  Tietjen,  William  Burtis,  Isaac  I. 
Siskiuc,  and  John  M^  Fisher.

investigation  by  Mr.  Bemls,  Supervising  Inspector, 
into  tho  loss  of  the  Pacific  Mail  steam-ship  City  of 
San  Francisco,  ha.s  resulted  in  the  following  letter 
being  sent  to  Capt.  James  I.  WadJell : 

S.AN  FftAXCLsro.  July  2-1.  1877. 
Tu  Capt.  James  I.  Waddell,  J!ian  FraricUco.  Gal. 

Sir  :  Upon  your  appeal  of  Juno  li2,  1.S77,  to  me, 
as  Supervising  Inspectur,  from  the  decision  of  tho 
Local  Board  of  Inspeftors,  in  tho  matter  of  the  loss 
of  the  steam-ship  City  of  San  Francisco,  suspending 
your  license  as  master  of  steam  vessels,  I  h:».-e  duly 
inve.stigated  the  case,  and  in  consideiation  of  the 
convincing  testimony  sworn  to  by  masters  and  offi- 
cers included  in  thi.^  investigation,  now.  by  authority 
of  section  4.4511,  Revised  Statutes  of  the  Unitell 
Siates.  I  hereby  chaneo  the  decision  of  the  Local 
Board,  and  this  date  restore  to  you  your  licensees 
master  pilot  of  sieam  vessel.".    Vei^'  respectfullv,    ' 

CHARLfiS  C.  BEMIS. 
Supervising  Inspector,  First  District,  San  Francisco. 

The  papers  of  that  citv  also  print  tho  following 
card  from  Capt.  WaddeU ; 

A  thorough  investigation  has  demonstrated  that 
the  loss  of  the  steam-ship  City  of  Sun  Francisco  was 
not  occasioned  by  any  fault  of  her  commander,  her 
officers,  or  crew.  The  position  of  the  shoal  ou  which 
the  vessel  struck  is  established  bv  overwhelming 
evidence  to  be  several  miles  outside  of  the  Tartar 
ShoaL  This  is  conceded  by  the  l>ocal  Inspectors  who 
suspended  the  eoimnanders  license.  Theo- reason 
given  is,  that  he  ran  his  vessel  too  near  the  shore.  In 
view  of  the  fact  that  he  was  in  the  track  pursued  by 
all  the  company's  steam-ships  for  the  last  28  years, 
and  in  strict  conformity  to  the  printed  sailing  direc- 
tions, and  where  his  books  and  his  chart  gave  him  a 
right  to  be,  the  actiorf  of  the  Local  Inspectors  is  in- 
defensible. On  an  appeal,  the  Supernsmg  Inspector 
has  revoked  the  finding  of  the  Local  Inspectors,  aud 
restored  to  the  commander  his  license.

Mr.  A.  J.  Plumb  seconded  the  adoption  of  the

sliotilu  at  li  later  lime  su;r;^ejit' that  ftin<is  ln'  raistnl 
on, the  Republiean  side  by  havinc  lectures  in  every 
district  in  the  City,  to  which  the  best  speakers  in  the 
countrj-  should  bo  invited,  and  admission  be  lixed  at  ■ 
$1  a  head.  If  office -holders  and  others  wished 
to  take  15  or  '<10  tickets  each  to  distribute  amon^; ' 
their  friends  tiiey  could  do  so.  and  in  tiiis  way  the 
necessary  ex]»enses  of  the  cRmiiaiitn  eoald  be  de- 
frayed. Mr.  Plumb  concluded  with  an  earnest  plea 
in  favor  of  having  a  combiuMi  ion  ticket  this  Fall  ns 
th'f  b<*st  and  only  way  of  defeating  Tammany.  [Ap- 
plause.] 

At  the  concliriion  of  Mr.  Plumb's  remark.s  tho 
resolntions  were  adopted  unanimuusly. 

The  rysiiinalions  of  those  officers  of  the  association 
who  helJ  Federal  offices  were  then  read  by  the  Sec- 
retary-^  There  were  18  all  told,  and  as  this  seemed  a 
lanreiiumht^r.  it  was  stated  hv  way  of  explanation 
thatthe  association  11  umbered  over  570  members, 
and  the  Ketnihlicau  vote  of  the  district  was  over 
1,500.  while  the  larger  numl)er  of  "  oftiee-holders  " 
held  such  places  a.s  letter-carriers  and  tho  like  small 
positions.  The  resigualjoas- were,  on  motion,  ac-

THE  ELLIS  IMPEACHMENT  TBIAL. 

PBOGRESS  OF  THE  CASE  BEFORE  THE  SENATE 
AT  SARATOGA — ^VTITNESSES  EXAMINED 
YESTERDAY. 

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  2.— The  Senate 
this  morning  examined  Marcus  T.  Hunt,  Dep- 
uty Attorney-General,  who  said  he  put  the 
word  "settled  "  on  the  register  of  the  suit  com- 
menced against  the  People's  Bank,  t^stdfled  to 
some  days  since ;  did  so  on  the  general  under- 
standing that  the  Trustees  wotild  put  up  secu- 
rities ;  did  not  remember  being  instructed  by 
EUis., 

Lemuel  Clart,  book-keeper  of  the  XK)aners' 
Bank  and  of  the  Receiver,  was  called.  Mr. 
Chapman  objected  to  bis  testimony.  The  ques- 
tion was  more  whether  Ellis  could  enforce  the 
law  to  make  this  bank  report  than  whether  he 
was  negligent.  He  finally  withdrew  his  objec- 
tion, and  the  examination  went  on.  Witness 
said  the  bank  had  large  transactions  with  the 
Continental  Life  Insurance  Company,  pledging 
$201,000  worth  of  railroad  bonds  and  stocks 
for  $45,000.  On  his  cross-examination  he 
said  he  saw  a  man  called  an  Examiner  in  the 
bank  several  times  ;  never  remember  seeing 
him  at  the  bank,  or  hearing  that  he  had  been 
there,  for  the  purpose  of  testing  his  power  over 
the  bank. 

To  Senator  Woodin— Understood  the  bank 
failed  because  of  trouble  among  the  Trustees  ; 
they  proposed  to  sell  the  charter. 

To  Senator  Prince— They  expected  to  receive 
$150,000  for  the  charter  on  account  of  the  ex- 
traordinary "privileges  it  contained  :  it  was  a 
large  pawnbroking  establishment.  The  prose- 
cution produced  the  opinion  of  Williana.  Tracy, 
heretofore  referred  to.  The  witness  identified 
it,  and  read  from  it  that  Tracy  did  not  consider 
the  Loaners'  Bank  subject  tb  chapter  32-i  of 
the  Laws  of  1874. 

Mr.  Warner,  general  clerk  in  the  Bank  Depart- 
ment, testified  that  a  commission  was  issued  to 
Reid  as  Bank  Examiner,  March  31.  1876  ;  it 
was  returned  May  VJ,  with  a  note  that  the  bank 
refused  to  be  examined  ;  the  commission,  which 
was  mi.ssed  from  the  file  of  the  department  has 
since  been  produced  before  the  Senate  Commit- 
tee. 

.  To    Mr.    McGuire — The     commission     is    a 
printed  form  aud  can  be  duplicated. 

Deputy  Superintendent  Lamb  produced  the 
semi-annual  report  of  the  German  Savings  Bank 
at  Morrisania,  dated  Jan.  1.  1875,  showing  an 
excess  of  assets  amounting  to  $27,352  81.  On 
April  24.  1S75,  Mr.  Reid  made  a  special  exam- 
ination, and  found  a  deficiency  of  $77,214  08  ; 
a  difference  in  the  estimated  value  of  town 
bonds  and  railrpad  stocks  caused  this  ;  on  Dec. 
25.  1875,  Ellis  notified  the  Trustees  that  the 
deficiency  must  be  made  up;  on  Jan.  1.  1870, 
the  bank  reported  an  excess  of  $11,887.  and 
on  Jan.  1.  187/,  an  excess  of  $12.091 ;  a  com- 
mittee of  Trustees  came  up  during  tho  latter 
part  of  February.  1877,  and  had  an  in- 
tur\nfc;v.*  with  El'lLs ;  don't  know  what  bo 
said ;  a  letter  from  Hall,  attorney  for  the 
bank,  Jan.  '6,  1870,  said  they  had  put  iu 
bonds  aud  mortjraees,  and  made  the  deficiency

pudiated and  in  default  of  interest  for  several 
years  ;  the  bank  was  put  in  the  hands 
of  a  Kcceivirr  in  July,  1S77  ;  the  dt*- 
positors  petitioned  ai;aiust  puttiTig  it  into 
the  hands  of  a  Kecx-ivor.  In  reply  to  Sena- 
tor Gerard,  witnL*.ss  said  there  was  no  evi- 
dence in  thf  department  of  examination  except 
}ty  Reid  :'  Ellis  made  no  statement  of  his  visit. 
In  reply  to  Senator  St.  John  he  said  there  was 
no  pro«^>f  of  the  di-ticiency  being  made  good  ex- 
cept from  reports  of  the  bank.  Isaac  Smith, 
di^rk  of  the  department,  testified  to  Xhe  exam- 
ination of  the  ri'port  of  Jan.  1,  1S77  ;  he 
valued  the  bonds  less  thim  the  Tni.nees  did,

THE  PALE  AIR  STREAKED\  WITH  BLOOD. 
There  are  people  iu  Chicago  who  are  quoting 

witli  apparent  amusement  the  following  from  the 
Tribune's  accomit  of  the  riot:  "From  the  viaduct 
south  the  avenue  was  crow.ied  with  roughs.  Tliey 
poured  in  from  the  side  streets,  their  hands  full  of 
stones.  Thel'olice  met  them,  head  on.  The  sicken- 
ing crash  of  clubs  followed,  and  the  pwje  air  was 
streaked  with  blood.  Huge,  bloated  women  at  the 
windows  veiled  encouragement  aud  defiance.-  Pistol- 
bulLs  shrieked  as  they  liew.  Tlie"  chisli  of  sabres  and 
shouts  of  maddened  men  made  the  hot  air  hideous, 
llor.ses  were  spurred  into  the  mob,  swords  rose  and 
fell  with  cruel  slgniCca-nce.  Alleys  were  gutted  of 
^lolI^.•n  masses  ol  enrtfged  humanity.  Great  massive 
blows  fe'J  on  iheir  p>ss  ion-stained  faces,  aud  tore  the 
rage  out  of  them."'    There  is  more  ut'  it. 

DEMOCRATS  AXD  EXOW-XOTHTXGS. 
Tho  Troy  Times  says:  "More  than  half  of 
tho  leaders  of  the  Democracy  to-day  were  Know- 
nothings.  ,  The  illiberal  aud  prescriptive  elements 
*:ravitated  to  the  Democratic  Party  on  Sam's  death 
a-'^  nHturnily  as  water  runs  down  hill.  Every  Demo- 
cratic StiitL-  ticket  in  New- York  for  years  has  had  one 
or  mope  Know-nothings  on  it.  and  the  fact  thi:t  they 
wanted  to  proscribe  all  ■  foreigners  never  hurt  them 
one  particle  with  the  ftirt-ign-bom  elemeut  in  tho 
parly  wheu  the  vote  was  counted,'*

ALTEHTya  THE  CATTLE  SSASDS. 
A  letter  from  Lawrence,  Texas,  to  the  Cincin- 
nati Oazetle  says :  "  By  a  late  law  of  Texas  all  rail- 
road companies  are  held  accountable  if  they  ship  any 
Btodi  without  ha\*ing  it  previously  inspected  and  the 
brand  recorded ;  so  that  it  is  simply  iinpossible  for 
any  one  to  ship  ofT  another's  cattle  'without  leaving  a 
public  record  of  his  fraud  upon  the  books  of  the  in-; 
PX>octor,  which  are  subject  to  examination  by  any 
concerned.  As  the  brand  is  the  only  evidence  here 
of  ownership,  tliis  becomes  a  very  important  matter 
to  the  stock  man,  and  it  not  infrequently  happens 
that  calves  found  without  its  imprint  at  once  receive 
It,  although  the  dam  bears  the  brand  of  some  one 
else.  ,,The  Intense  desire  for  a  rapid  increase  of  stock 
led  to  this  practice  more  frequently  in  the  past  than 
it  does  at  present;  not  that  the  greed  of  man- 
kind has  diminished,  but  because  the  oppor- 
tu^ties  of  detection  have  increased.  It  mattered 
but  little  formerly  how  manv  or  how  few  cattle  any 
one  owned,  they  incaeased  Just  in  proportion  to  the 
closeness  with  which  ho  attended  to  oranding.  A 
story  in  illustration  of  this  Is  told  of  a  mover  who 
was  crossing  tho  State  some  years  ago,  in  his  covered 
wagon  drawn  by  a  single  yoke  of  oxen.  One  of  these 
died  m  the  way.  and  being  unable  to  proceed  on  ac- 
count of  it,  he  determined  to  go  into  stock  raising 
then  and  there.  A  branding-iron  was  according- 
ly procured,  the  remaining  01  branded  and 
turned  out,  and  bo  prolific  did  lie  prove  (with 
the  aid  of  the  iron)  that  in  a  few  years  that 
individual  had  a  l&i^  and  rapidly  Increasing  herd  of 
cattle,  unpromising  as  his  start  mi:;ht  liave  appeared 
to  tlie  uninitiated.  At  the  close  of  the  war  this 
country  offered  ample  opportunities  tor  the  exercise 
of  such  proclivities,  and  man j'  a  one  availed  himself 
of  them.  While  the  men  were  absent  in  the  Army 
the  cattle  went  on  increasing,  and  there  was  no  one 
left,  or  at  least  few,  to  keep  them  branded.  As  a 
consequence,  the  close  of  the  war  found  the  conutrj' 
ftill  of  unbranded  cattle,  which  the  law  presumed 
belonged  to  no  one.  and  all  had  an  equal  right  to 
them.  Then  it  was  that  those  of  enterprise,  whether 
they  had  ever  owned  any  cattle  or  not,  heated  their 
branding  irons,  aud  entered  riglit  heartily  into  the 
work  of  laying  the  foundation  of  a  future  compe- 
tence. Many  succeeded,  and  amassed  fortunes  upon 
the  foundation  built  by  such  questionable  means. 
Not  only  branding  unbranded  stock  belonging  to 
others,  but  mutilating  and  altering  existing  brands, 
is  yet  practiced  to  some  extent  in  different  parts  of 
the  State.  For  example,  several  thousand  head  bear- 
ing the  brand  H.  L  C.  were  in  one  case  driven  off  in 


H.  T.  G.;  the  Cbeing  chained  to  O.  he  was  enabled  to 
hold  thetn,  althon^  they  returned  to  their  old  misv 
and  were  recognized  by  their  rightful  owdov,  but  A 
could  not  be  proved  that  the  brand  had  been  •*  - 
as  the  new  completely  covered  np  the  oM," 


TSB  COXNECTICrT  TOBACCO  CROP. 
The  Hartford  Post  of  July  31  says  :  "  Tim 
crop  of  torncoo  for  last  year  along  the  Conueetlcat 
Valley  is  mostly  sold,  and  il  is  expected  that  businPA 
will  now  be  dtill  till  the  new  crop  comes  into  market. 
A  ^-  eat  deal  of  the  1  .S75  crop  has  had  to  nndergo  the 
sweating  process  while  held  by  the  bn vers  and  be- 
fore manufacture, which  has  not  happened  previously, 
that  year's  growth  proving  remarkably  light  oolored, 
while  the  manufacturers  now  pre^r  a  dark  le<Kf . 
In  the  process  of  re^weaiing  the  tobacco  is  all  taken 
from  the  cases, .  moisten»*d  ih'Tmnghly  as  it  Js  piled 
up,  and  then  allowed  to  lie  for  six  or  eight  weeks, 
during  which  time  It  attjuns  a  great  beat  and  be- 
comes much  darkened  in  color.  This  year's  crop 
promises  to  be  a  good  deal  better  than  last  ye«r'a, 
though  the  acreage  is  smaller,  especially  in  the  Con- 
necticut part  of  tlie  valley.  The  2us);achiisetts 
acreage  is  about  the  same  as  last  year,  and  the  hfil 
towns  where  tlie  crop  proved  unprofftable  ha%'iiiggono 
out  of  the  business   some  time   ago.  while  the  best 

Cwers  in  the  vallev  towns  hav^  kept  on  about  as  be* 
9  the  collapse.     The  first  of  the  present  crop  wiH 
be  cut  in  less  than  a  month.'* 


TSE   TIDAL. Ti  AVE. 

The  Honolulu  G^iseftf  says:  "Fpoth  papera 
brought  np  by  the  mail  steamer  last  week  we  learn 
that  the  great  earthquake  wave  of  May  10  was  feli 
on  the  New-Zealand  and  Australian  coasts.  The  dis- 
ttirbanco  wn.s  first  noticed  about  7  o'clock  on  the 
morning  of  Friday.  May  1^.  and  continued  thfoneb 
the  day.  In  »om  e  of  the  l«ys  it  rose  as  much  as  I'Z 
feet,  eoverin;?  wbar\cs.  and  leaving  small  craft 
stranded  on  the  shore,  but  uo  serious  damage  is  re- 
ported. Tho  apparent  difference  of  one  day  bet^^en 
the  time  of  the  wave  at  the  Colrnies  aud  here  is  ow- 
ing  to  the  fact  of  those  countries  beiujc  on  the  othei 
side  of  the  l^Oih  decree  of  longitude,  and  eonse- 

Suently  the  wave  reached  those  coasts  la  reality  <NI 
ttd  same  day  that  it  reached  Hawaii. "

Sakatooa,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  2. — This  has  been  an- 
other brilliant  day  for  the  9Br&toga  Racing  Associa- 
tion. -In  the  morning  rift«  of  -whit©  clouds  partially 
obscpred  the  sun,  and  became  more  sombre  In- ap- 
pearance near  the  midday  hour,  but  without  assum- 
ing a  threatening  asi>ect.  This  ser^-ed  to  tem- 
per the  atmosphere,  and  a  better  day 
for  racing  has  not  been  had  this  sea£on. 
The  track  was  in  splendid  conditionJSttLfast  time,  and 
this  was  made.  As  was  generally  anticipated.  Vera 
Cruz  won  the  mile  and  an  eighth  handicap,  and  Zoo

penalty  of  five  pounds.  Fair  Play  toofe  the  three. 
quarter  heats  after  a  stubborn  contest  with  Auburn. 
In  the  steeple-chase  there  was  a  fine  contest  between 
Trouble  and  Waller,  which  caused  a  vast  amount  of 
enthusiasm.  Trouble  appeared  to  have  won  by  a 
neclc.  and  most  of  the  people  had  left  the  course, 
when,  after  some  delay,  the  judges  decided  it  a  dead 

heat. 

♦ 
THE  RACING  IN  DETAIL. 

THE   MILE   AND   AX  EIGHTH   HANDICAP. 

The  trouble  of  the  speculators  began  with  the  free 
ftnndicap  sweepstakes  of  a  mile  and  an  eighth,  for  all 
Dges.  Eight  horses  had  accepted,  but  only  seven 
faced  the  starter.  These  were  ^\'hispe^,  Vex*a  Cmz, 
Ambush,  Mary,  BradarBanio,  Baroness,  and  Princess 
r.f  Thnle.  In  the  pools  before  the  start  the  Williams 
pair  were  the  favorites,  and  brought  $225 ;  Brada^ 
mante.  9135;  ilary,  $75;  Baroness,  §65;  Ambush, 
S50.  andPrinces*  of  Thule  $15.  The  distance  being  a 
xuile  and -an  eiehth.  the  horjies  were  aligned  at  the 
farlonjr  p<ile.  The  start  was  a  good  one.  Mar>',  be- 
ing quickest  on  her  legs,  came  to  the  front,  and 
reiwbiad  the  stand  a  length  in  front  of  Whisner.  with 
PrijicP«s  of  Thulo  lapping  his  quarter,  and  IJrada- 
manoe  lapping  the  Princess.  Ambush  brought  up 
tlie  reevr.  (ioing  around  the  turn  Bradamante  passed 
the  Irincess  and  Whisper,  and  viont  up  to  the  ead- 
rile-glr^U  of  Mary,  wliilo  Princess  of  Xhnle 
was^  Jlvird,  lapped  on  the  quarter  by  "Whis- 
per. AVhen  they  pa.ssed  the  quarter  pole 
ilary  wai-  still  showing  the  wav  half  a  length  bexoro 
Bradamaniv.  while  l*rincos8  oi  Thule  fell  back,  and 
Whisper  took  tho  third  position  at  Brndamante's 
liiiL  with  princess  lappin?  his  quarter,  the  others 
I'^'ins  in  a  ruck,  with  Anilmsh  two  lengths  in  the  rear. 
The  pace  along  the  back  stretch  was  very  fast.  Brad- 
smantewas  foicinR  it.  She  speedily  got  to  Mar>''s 
head,  and  bv  the  time  the  half-mile  pole  was  reached 
phe  showe<l'half  J*  length  in  advance  of  JIary,  with 
Whisper  at  the  Jatters  tail,  followed  bv  Vera  Cmz, 
Princess  of  Thule  fifth.  Baroness  sixth,  and  Ambush 
srill  occupjnnic  his  old  position  in  the  rear.  "When 
thev  canje  round  the  lower  turn  Vera  Cruz  made  his 
mn*.  and  a  beautiful  brush  ensued-  Bradamante 
showed  her  neok  In  front  of  Vera  Cruz.  Mary,  and 
\\'lii=iper.  who  werp  together,  but  when  they  turned 
ir.ti  the  homf  stretch  it  was  evident  that  the  race  lay 
bi-twecu  Bradamante.  Vera  lYuz.  and  Whisper,  as 
Marj-  showed  evident  siims  o^  distress.  Bradamante 
(ippeared  to  be  sligiitly  in  front  of  Vera  Cruz,  but  the 
pace  be^au  to  tell  on  ,  her  when  she  reached 
the  furloiig-pole,  and  -Sayres  was  obliged 
to  applv  the  lash.  Sho  responded  wt-ii 
hut  Vem  Cruz  had  tho  best  of  it.  and  easily  came  to 
the  front,  and  won  the  race  by  two  lene:ths  in  1;57^ 
— a  fast  race.  Bradamante  was  second,  a  lencth  and 
a  half  in  front  of  \\'hisper.  who  was  a  length  ahead  of 
Mar%-.  Ambush  came  in  fifth,  Priucess  of  Thule 
ilxth,  and  Baroness  last. 

THE     SEQrEL    STAKES. 

The  second  event  on  the  card  was  the  fourteenth 
renewal  of  the  Sequel  Stakes,  for  three-year  olds  ; 
one  mile  and  three-quarters.  This  had  27  nomina- 
tions, and  six  of  them  sported  silk,  namely  :  Cardi- 
nal Wolsey.  Higgins.  St.  James,  Major  Barker,  ^o 
Zoo,  and  Vermont.  Xotwithstandine  the  fact  that 
St."  James  ran  such  an  excellent  -  race  in 
the  Travers  Stake  and  that  Zoo  Zoo  was 
to  carrv  5  pounds  jipnnlly.  the  latter  was  the  fa- 
vurite.  and  just  belore  the  start  Zoo  Zoo  sold  for 
S^yOt*.  McDanielB  $270.  Hiicgins  $-10.  and  Vermont 
and  Cardinal  Wols*x.  coupled,  $45-  As  the  distance 
was  a  mite  and  Uirec-quarters  the  horses  were 
ttarted  in  the  chute,  and  whon  the  fl.^g  fell  Major 
Barker  got  away  in  th»  load,  it  beini;  his 
mi--«>ioii  TO  make  the  ruhnini;  for  St.  James. 
When  they  ran  ilown  the  chute.  Major 
B:krker  led  two  lengths  ;  .St.  Jara*'S  was  second,  two 
lengths  before  Zoo  Zco,  who  was  a  length  in  advance 
oi"  ?"ar»lii)al  Wolsey.  When  they  turned  into  the 
rtinilar  tnack  at  the"  half-mile  pole'  JIajor  Barker  was 
foiir  lentrths  in  advance,  with  St.  James  second,  a

Cardinal  Wol«ey.  with  HiiKins  fifth,  and  Vermont  in 
TJie  rear.  Ctiminc  around  the  tower  mm  Major  Barker

rjatirters  '*i  a  mile,  wliifh  was  run  In  1:21,  M.-ij^^^r 
Ilarker  was  still  CTittinc  out  the  work  eieht  lengths 
in  front,  but  as  the  time  will  show  he  wa.-*  not  doim; 
rapid  mniiinc.  St.  James  and  Zoo  Zoo  were  head 
»nd  ht  ad  a  length  in  ailvance.  while  Cardinal  Wol- 
Sfv.  Hiusins  and  Vermont,  wore  in  the  rfar.  They 
w.'jit  around  the*  turn  in  th*>  same  order,  but 
ill  the  ouartrr.  Major  Barker  quickened  his  pace  con- 
j^i.IeraMv.  and  still  kejit  the  cap  open,  while  St. 
names  and  Z<x>  Z'jo,  still  to^eth-T.  wero  two  lenirths

the 'b!w;k. stretch,  Zoo  Z<.>o  hej:an  to  run  fast,  and 
p::jsiiin!;  out  half  a  lencth  in  advance  of  St.  James, 
the  two  latter  »*h»sed  rapidly  on  Major  Barker.  To 
thedisffustof  his  bai-kers,  however.  St.  James  sud- 
(it-nlv  showed  tho  white  feather  and  fell  hack  iir- 
nohly.  while  Wolsey  ran  up  third.  By  the  timn 
they  reached  the  half-niiU*  pole.  Zoo  Zoo  had 
i:ot*lo  the  head  of  Major  Barker,  and  Wolsey  was 
ju.-it  lapping  the  leadings,  when  Scott,  his  jockey, 
was  seen  to  lean  forward  as  if  the  bridle  had  broken, 
and  then  fall  off.  "WoIsav  then  ran  to  the  front  of 
the  other  borscH.  As  rh*.-y  rame  around  the  lower 
turn.  Z<x>  Z«>o  wns  a  half  length  in  front  of  Barker  and 
on  tuminc  into  the  home  stretch  she  had  the  whole 
li-ld  beaten.  The  riderles.t  Wolsey  was  still 
ill  front  of  Zoo  Zoo  and  caused  much  merriment  as 
iio  passetl  the  Jud;:eH  stand  a  length 
in  front  of  Zoo  Zoo.  Tho  latter  won  the  race  by  four 
Jenirths  in  the  e.n-sipst  possible  minner.  Vermont

D'.ark?r.  who  led  Hicuins  two  lencrths.  .'^t.  James 
^i^ve^^-ed  across  the  home  stretfh  two  or  three  times, 
but  being  in  the  rear  did  not  interfere  with  the 
others.    The  time  was  3:10. 

When  Scott  limped  from  the  place  where  he  fell  to 
the  weiehinc  stand  it  was  disoovere<i  that  the  stirrup 
fTrap  iiiid  parted,  and  h«  was  unable   to  maintain  hia 
balance  on  the  colt.     He  was  not  injured. 
THE   THREE-QUARTER    HEATS. 

The  third  race  was  an  interesting  one  oi  threc- 
qnarter-mile  heatF,  being  a  selling  race  with  tho 
usual  allowances.  There  were  five  entries,  namely, 
Aubnm.  X-ady  Salyers,  Fair  Play,  Imperatrice.  and 
Dandelion.  In  tho  bettinp  Auburn  had  been  the 
favorite,  but  this  morning  tho  knowing  ones  got  a 
*' point"'  on  Lady  Salyers.  Lady  Salyers  rose 
gradnallv  into  favor,  ahd  when  they  went  to  tho 
post  she' was  s-elliue  for  $200;  Auburn,  $150 ;  Fair 
Plav.  §110.  and  the  field,  .-SlOo. 

First  Hf^nt. — The  horses  moved  away  together  with 
r>andelion  in  the  rear,  but  coins;  down  the  shute  An- 
bum  went  to  tlie  front,  followed  by  Imperatrice  in 
the  second  olace.  I*ady  Salyers  third,  and  Fair  Play 
fourth.  When  they  tumetl  into  the  regular  track  at 
the  half -mile  j)Os4_  Auburn  led  by  a  lencth,  Impera- 
tr>e  -still  being  socond,  half  a  lencth  before 
L;idy  Salvers,  "who  was  half  a  length  in  ad- 
v:in'-e  of  Fair  Play.  \Vhen  they  ran  around  the 
lower  turn  Imperatrice  dropped  to  the  rear.  -  Lady 
Salvers  then  ran  to  the-  saddle  pirth  of  Auburn,  and 
the' pair  left  Fair  Plav  two  lencths  behind  them,  in 
ronipanvwith  DandeSion.  Tuminc  into  the  home- 
Ftrct'*h."  however.  Lady  Salvers  quailed  under  tlm 
pressure,  and  fell  bacK*  while  Fair  Play  came  fast 
under  the  whip  and  challenced  Auburn.  The  race 
was  verj- clos*5  between  them,  but  Auburn  kept  to 
the  front,  and  won  the  heat  b\'  half  a  lencth.  in 
1:17M.  Five  leneths  behind  Fiur  Play  came  Latly 
Sidvers.  who  was  four  lemrths  in  front  of  Dandelion, 
while  Imiieratrice  w.xs  Iwhind  the  distance  tiac. 

S'-rorul  Ilmt— F:\ir  Plav  havinc  so  muchweight^ofF 
wns  deemed  to  have  the  ^est  of  it.  and  he  was  now 
the  favorite  at' ^125.  4"*'''"''  $200,  and  the  field 
■  iplfK).  At  the  peeond,  trial  the  fine  sent  them  off. 
with  Auburn  in  tlie  lejid.  but  as  thoy  ran  down  the 
f.hute  Ladv  Salyers  ran  to  tho  front. 
and  pas.se<l  into  the  recular  track  two 
iencths  in  advance  of  Anhurn,  with  Fair  Play 
at  the  latter's  saddle -cirth.  a  lencth  in  frfmt  of  Dan- 
delion. \V'hen  they  fame  .around  the  lower  turn. 
Fair  Play  forced  past  Auburn  and  moved  up  to 
the  t.iil  of  I>ady  SBiyers.  Hy  the  time  they  reached 
the  tbree-'inarter  pole.  Lady" Salvers  was  only  a  neck 
in  ailvance  of  Fair  Play,  hut  when  they  ran  up  the 
liomc  stretfh  Lady  Salyers  was  in  distress,  and  Fair 
I'iay  came  forward,  winninc  the  heat  by  two  lengths 
In  1:18%.  Lady  Salyers  was  second,  two  lengths  in 
advance  of  Auburn,  who  was  half  a  dozen  lengths 
awav  from  Dandelion. 

Third  Ilea* — ^T-Ady  Salyers  and  Dandelion  were 
sent  to  the  stable  under  tho  rule,  and  the  contest 
was  narrowed  to  a  match  between  Pair  Play  and 
Aubuni.  the  former  being  the  favorite  at  $200  to 
$-15.  Auburn  got  two  lengths  the  best  of  the  start. 
but  as  they  ran  along  the  Vhute  Fair  Play  collared 
him.  and  turned  into  the  track  with  his  neck  in  front. 
Cominc  around  the  lower  turn  Auburn  closed  up  to 
the  head  of  Fair  Play,  and  it  was  a  pretty  race  be- 
tween them  all  the  way  round  to  -the  mile  distance 
Ftand  before  Auburn  cave  It  un.  which  he  did  sud- 
denly, and  Fair  Play  beat  him  home  by  a  length  and 
a  half,  in  1:20-  jVfter  the  race  Fair  Play  was  offered 
At  auction,  his  selling  price  being  $300,  yet  nobody 
ma<le  a  bid.  again  demonstrating  that  selling  races 
are  a  delusion. 

THE   STEEPLE -CHASE. 

There  had  been  so  mudi  delay  that  the  spectator* 
became  impatient,  and  made  it  known  by  stamping 
their  feet.  The  judge's  bell  then  called  the  horses 
for  the  steeple-chase,  in  whicli  there  were  Trouble, 
Waller,  Redding,  Doubtful,  and  Bencher,  la.  the 
betting,  Reed*«  pair  were  very  heavy  favorites,  and 
bronght  $650.  wallerwaa  second  choice  at  $300,  and 
the  field  $200.  The  horses  were  started,  as  usual, 
iif  the  east  field,  behind  the  timers'  stand,  and  ran 
down  rtar^llal  with  tl»*  «»>»nte.      Thfti*  «— »   -.k-*.-i-

was  a  stone  wan,and  Doubtful  assumed  the  lead, 
with  Redding  second.  Bencher  third,  and  four  lengths 
behind  them  were  Trouble  and  "Waller.  In  this  man- 
ner they  ran  roimd  to  the  water  itmip  in  thg  north 
section,  and  here  both  Dottbtfiu  and  Red- 
ding bolted  out  of  the  course,  learlng  only 
Waller,  Trouble,  and  Bencher  in  the  race. 
Waller  now  took  the  lead,  and  jumped  over  the  rails 
of  the  sectional  track,  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Trouble,  with  Bencher  third.  They  were  the  same 
at  the  wall  in  the  west  field,  but  at  the  drop,  where 
they  pass  to  the  outside  field.  Bencher  passed 
Trouble,  who  was  now  in  the  rear.  They  were  two 
lengths  apart  over  the  hedge  in  front  of  Lorillard's 
stable,  but  after  jumpina  over  the  big  wall  further 
on,  Bencher  assumed  the  lead,  and  jumped  across 
the  track  into  the  east  field  again,  when  he  came  to  a 
halt,  and  before  getting  in  motion  again  the  others 
had  passed  Mm.  Trouble  once  more  got  to  the 
front,  and  was  two  lengths  ahead  of  Waller  as  thev 
came  over  the  south  section  of  the  water,  with 
Bencher  a  lone  way  behind.  They  all  jumped 
so  well  that  they  were  loudly  applauded.  They 
aeain  took  &  double  leap  across  the  chute,  with 
Trouble  sli  leneths  ahead  of  Waller,  and  he  the 
sante  distance  before  Bencher.  In  this  way  they  ran 
until  they  went  along  the  west  side  of  the 
chute  and  entered  the  track  near  the  half- 
mile  pole,  where  Trouble  led  two  lengths, 
Waller  second.  Coming  around  the  lower  turn 
Waller  closed  up  on  Trouble  until  they 
were  even,  but  at  the  last  hurdle  Trouble  landed  first, 
and  a  rushing  |race  home  resulted.  It  appeared  as  if 
Trouble  had  won  by  nearly  a  neck,  and  Bencher  was 
beaten  off.  The  people  then  began  to  leave  the 
coufse,  but  the  Judges  decided  it  a  dead  heat.  The 
owners  of  Waller  insisted  on  running  it  off,  but  gave 
way  after  &  long  t^k,  and  the  money  was  divided  in 
thejpools.

LOCAL  MISCELLAM. 


A   SBABP    CHASE  AFTER  A  TBIEF. 

HE  CUTS  LOOSE  FBOJI  HIS  CAPTORS  AND 
FIRES  EIGHT  SHOTS  AT  THEM — ^A  PO- 
LICEMAN RETURNS  THE  FIEE  WITH 
GOOD  EFFECT— FINAL  CAPTURE  OF  THE 
CRIMIKAL. 

Early 'yesterday  afternoon  a  large,  powerful, 
and  well-dressed  man,  named  Oscar  D.  Peterson, 
from  Chicago,  went  into  the  store  No.  1,121 
Broadway,  and  botight  $21  worth  of  fine  socks,  ties, 
and  silk  handkerchiefs.  While  making  these  ptir- 
cbasea  he  stole  $26  worth  more  of  similar  articles. 
Mr.  J.  Colby,  Superintendent  of  the  store,  saw  the 
theft,  and  summoned  Officer  George  H.  Paddock,  of 
the  Twenty-fifth  Precinct.  Peterson  was  arrested 
by  the  officer,  and  seemed  ao  well  disposed  to  go 
along  peaceably  that  he  was  neither  held  nor  mana- 
cled. On  their  way  to  the  station-house,  while  on 
Twenty-ninth-street,  near  Madison-avenue,  Peterson 
materially  changed  his  demeanor.  He  had  been  car- 
rying an  umbrella  in  his  right  hand.  This  he  trans- 
ferred to  the  other  hand,  and  with  his  right  pulled 
out  two  Derringer  pistols,  and,  dropping  the  um- 
brella, with  a  pistol  in  each  hand  he  ttimed  upon 

Paddock  and  Colby,  saying  to  them :  "You ,  git, 

DOW  I"  He  fired,  it  is  alleged,  three  shots  so  close  to 
their  faces  that  they  were  blinded  for  a  moment  by 
tho  smoke.  Paddock  says  that  one  of  the  bullets 
grazed  his  left  cheek  under  the  eye,  but  it  appeared 
to  the  reporter  that  the  wound  he  showed  was  a  very 
old  scar.  After  firing  the  three  shots  Peterson  ran. 
and  succeeded  in  distancing  Paddock,  who  jumped 
into  a  passing  butcher's  cart  and  compelled 
the  driver  to  chase  Peterson.  The  run- 
away made  such  excellent  use  of  his 
legs  that  neither  Pnddock's  imprea«ed  cart 
nor  Officers  Kepner,  of  the. Twenty-ninth  Precinct, 
and  Pratt,  of  the  Twenty-fifth,  who  joined  in  the 
chase,  could  get  anywhere  near  him.  During  the 
chii'^e  Peterson  continued  to  reload  and  fire  off  his 
Dt'rrinjrers  at  bis  pursuers,  firing  ei-jht  shots  altogether 
at  them,  none  01  which,  however,  took  effect.  Pad- 
dock id.so  kt-pt  up  a  tire  from  the  cart  upon  Peter- 
son, and  fired  five  bullets  at  him.  one  of  which  struck 
him  on  the  back  of  the  head  and  ran  along  under  the 
.scalp  until  it  reiichfd  the  t4ip  of  the  skull,  when  it 
came  out  and  curried  the  fuuitive's  hat  with  it,  and 
another  lod;;ed  in  his  right  cnlf. 

Blooi]  flowed  frcidy  from  both  these  wounds,  but  it 
did  not  seem  to  affect  Peterson's  strength,  louring 
this  time  he  continued  his  course  down  Twenty-fourth- 
street  toward  Second -avenue,  and  when  he  was  near 
the  comer  of  the  avenue  he  turned  upon  a  young 
man ,  named  Kdward  Bromficld.  of  No.  331^  West 
Fourtcenthstrcot.  who  wns  standing  looking  at  the 
chase,  and  shot  at  him.  Bromfleld  turned,  and  tlius 
saved  his  life,  for  the  biilb't,  which  was  aimed  close 
to  bis  heart,  went  sidow.'iys  through  tho  coat  at  tho 
left  lajiel.  through  the  vest  and  shirt,  and  mndo  a 
slicht  tiesh  wound  on  the  right  breast.  Peterson 
then  ran  into  a  slaugbt<fl"-housi>  on  Second-avenue, 
where  he  was  captured  hy  Oihct-r  Smith,  of  tho 
Eighteenth  Precinct,  who  transferred  him  to  Pad- 
d'.rk."  I'addock  tm>k  him  before  Jutlge  Wandell.  in 
Jefferson  Market  Pfdice  Court,  yi-stcnlay  afternoon 
about  4  o'clock,  and  two  compluluts  were  made 
acninst  him  for  felonious  assault,  one  hy  Paddock  nnd 
the  other  by  Bromtield.  and  a  charge  of  grand  larceny 
was  entere<i  against  him  by  Colbv.  Judce  Wandell 
held  the  prisoner  for  triid  in  dpf;mlt  of  $'Jii.OIH)  bail. 
$10,000  upon  each  of  the  feluuiims  assaults,  and 
4t;i.OfJO  upon  the  larceny. 

There  were  found  "upon  the  prisoner's  pennon 
$1.3*^0  in  cash,  a  bunch  of  curiouslyshaped  keys,  a

A  riRGiyXA  SnOOTIXG  AFFRAY. 
The  Richmond  (Va.)  Disnnfrh  of  Tuesday 
says  :  '•  Ou  Thursday  la-st,  in  a  difficulty  which  oc- 
ctirred  at  Gumett'is  store,  Curdsville.  Buckingham 
County,  Mr.  William  Saunders,  a  highly  respected 
young  citizen,  was  shot  and  dangerously  wounded  hy 
Robert  Ould,  Jr..  formerly'of  Richmond.  Such  par- 
ticulars of  the  affair  as  we  have  were  gathered  from 
Buckingham  gentlemen  now  in  the  city.  It  seems 
that  Mr.  Quid  had  been_in  the  country  for  some 
weeks  visiting  friends,  and  that  on  several  occasions 
he  called  at  the  residence  of  his  relative.  Mr.  Alberto 
Satmders,  and  paid  attention  to  a  daughter  of  Mr. 
Satmders.  A  continuance  of  the  visits  was  considered 
undesirable,  and  Jlr.  Saundors  instructed  his  son 
William  to  notify  Ould.  In  cmisequence  of  this  mes- 
sage, Ould  on  Thursday  soaghf_young  Saunders  and 
found  him  threshi^ig  wheat  ia  a  lot  near  to  (rar- 
nott's  store.  Ould.  riding  a  mule,  waited 
about  there  for  some  time,  ready  to  make  a 
difficuly.  but  Saunders.  being  intent  upon 
his  work.  i»aid  no  attention  to  bun,  and  ho 
went  off,  .IS  was  tiiought.  Subscijuently 
Saunders  went  to  the  store  for  somo  purpo.se.  anil 
Ould  rode  up.  and,  usin<;  highly  offensive  languai^e 
against  Saundi^rs.  caused  the  latter  to  come  tp  tlie 
door,  where  OuM,  still  mounted  on  the  mule,  fired 
upon  him  two  or  three  times.  Saunders  seized  a 
small  piece  of  Iron  and  hurled  it  at  C»uld,  but  with- 
out effect,  and  I  hen  r-tn  up  to  Ould  and  succeeded  in 
gettinir^he  pistol  from  him.  By  oue  of  Ould'a  shots 
S-innders  was  wounded,  the  ball  striking  on  the  in- 
side of  the  left  arm,  between  the  elhow  vji&  shoulder 
joint,  and  ranging  upward  into  the  body.  Ould  was 
arrested  bv  the  bystanders,  juid  examined  by  a  mag- 
istrate and  committed  to  jail  without  bail.  At  lust 
accounts  Mr.  .Saunders'  condition  was  regarded  as 
serious.  It  is  represented  that  imme<liatelv  after  tho 
shooting,  and  also  on  a  subsequent  day.  Ould  s-iid 
tlmt  he  mtcnded  to  kill  .Sanndcrs.  and  was  only  sorry 
that  he  did  not  do  it.  On  the  other  hand,  the'  coun- 
sel of  Ould.  writing  to  a  gentleman  in  Richmond, 
says  th.it  rJuld  represents  that  young  Saunders  had 
repeatedly  threhtened  to  kill  him.  William  Saun- 
ders, is  pr'obahly  not  more  than  til  or  -2  years  of 
age.  and  ha-s  the  reputation  nmong  his  friends  and 
neighhor.-*  of  heing  a  pe^-ceable  and  well-disposed 
gentle  man. ' '  ^ 

TITO  DOLLARS  FOR  A  CARPFTBAO. 
The  following  railroad  incident  is  told  by  the 

Troy  Prfjj?  of  Tuesday :  "On  the  Saturday  evening 
Troy  and  Boston  trkin,  a  man  in  the  smoking-car  said 
to  a  Trojan  in  the  seat  in  front  of  him :  '  Won't  you 
take  another  seatj'  Of  course  the  Trojan  looked 
astounded  at  the  request.  In  explanation  the  man 
saidi:  'Your  cigar  makes  me  sick.'  'Wliy  don't  you 
go  into  another  cat,  then;  this  Is  the  smoklng-cjir  V 
'Oh,  is  it  r  said  the  stranger,  and  immediately  left 
the  car,  leaviujz  in  the  rack  above  him  a  badlv-wom 
cari>et-bag.  The  seat  thus  vacated  was  soon  taken  by 
another  Trojan,  who  had  jnst  come  in.  ArrivinE 
near  Valley  Falls,  the  carpet-bag  fell  from  the  rack 
upon  the  Trojan's  head.  He  suppose*  it  had  l>een 
thrown  at  him  in  sport,  and  at  once  threw  it  back  at 
the  man  who  he  supposed  had  assaulted  him.  The 
carbet-bag  went  tbrouah  the  open  window,  and  tho 
tram  then  being  in  rapid  motion  no  effort  was  made 
to  get  it.  Several  miles  further  up,  tbe  stranger 
came  into  the  car  again  to  gbt  the  oog.  When  the 
Trojan  was  informed  of  the  fact  that  the  bag  had 
fallen  upon  him  from  the  rack,  and  that  he  had 
thrbwn  it  out  of  the  window,  (for  he  did  not  see  it  go 
out,)  he  honorably  offered  to  pay  the  man  for  it.  The 
stranger  taid  he  thought  that  'ere  bag  and  its  con- 
tents ought  to  be  wuth  tew  dollars.  The  Trojan  paid 
the  $2,  and  will  be  very  careful  in  future  what

extensive  sale  of  t^lir-o  prints  by  auction  yesterday, 
at  their  warerooms,  N'o.  71^  Letjuanl  street.  Theru 
were  >*0  lots,  comprising  1.77">  cases,  containing,  in 
the  aggregate. --D.'^ltl  yarjls  of  Richmond  prints, 
disposed  of.  The  jmrchasers  were  all  City  jobbers, 
and  resident  buyers  ri^-presentin;;  out  of  town  houses. 
About  .'SOO  merchants  attended  tbe  sale.  The  poods 
were  disposed  of  in  lots  of  from  one  to  10  cases,  to 
suit  the  buyers.  The  prices  obtained  were  con.sider- 
ably  less  than  the  regular  market  rates.    The  lowest 

fyrice  received  on  perfect  goods  wan  f»  cents,  and  tho 
iighe!*t  fjt.j,  cents,  while,  had  the  commission  mer- 
chant** irone  on  tho  street  to  sell  iheni,  they  could 
have  dijiposed  of  them  readilv  at  7  and  7t2  cents  per 
yard.  The  terras  of  the  sale  were  *»0  d.-\ys'  credit. 
%vith  a  diocount  of  .5  percent.,  or  7  per  cent,  dis- 
count on  hills  paid  within  10  days  after  the  .*ialo. 
There  is  a  good  deal  «if  dlssatinfaction  amonj;  manu- 
facturers and  commission  merchants  at  tins  way  of 
disposine  of  goods,  as  it  ruins  the  market  by  forcing 
upon  it  goods  wliieh  are  not  really  needi-d,  while  the 
onlv  parties  benefiting  by  the  openition  are  the 
jobbers.  The  latter  too.  are  getting  into  the  habit 
of  waiting  until  an  auction  sale  takes  place  before 
thoy  purchase,  and  thus  makiruT  the  extra  percent- 
age. Other  manufacturt>rs  aro  left  the  alternative  of 
Belling  their  wares  at  private  sale  low  enough  to 
meet  the  reduction  correspouding  to  that  obtained  at 
an  auction  sale,  or  go  to  the  expense  of  disposing  of 
their  goods  at  auction  also.

here  was  the  proper  place  for  them  to  come  for  treat- 
ment and  support.  Tho  names  of  the  unfortunate 
patient-!*  are  Thomas  Dalton  and  Jcdin  Deasy.  The 
fftrioer  is  a  nuddle-aged  man.  of  rather  genteel  ap- 
pearance, and  has.  no  doubt,  l>een  industrious  in  his 
day.  as  there  are  several  hundred  dollars  to  his  credit 
in  the  Boston  Five  Cent  Savings  Bank.  He  is  suffer-

any  known  relative,  except  a  sister,  who  is  supposed 
to  reside  somewhere  on  Lone  Island.  I>easy  is  only 
ii7.  and  is  also  single.  He  exmbits  all  the  sj-mptoms 
of  melancholia.  Both  are  Irishmen,  itnd  landed  at 
Castle  Ganieu  at  about  the  same  time  »veral  years 
ago,  but  they  are  entire  strangers  to  cacq  other,  Por 
some  time  they  have  been  inmates  of  the  insane 
a.sylum  at  Worcester.  Mass..  and  it  was  in  charge  of 
two  of  the  keepers  of  that  in.'ititution  that  they  ar- 
rived here.  After- havinn  the  men  examined  by  a 
physician,  and  hearing  such  statements  about  them 
as  could  be  furnisheil.  Commissioner  ('ok  decided  to 
send  them  to  the  Flathush  Asylum,  where  they  be- 
come the  wards  of  the  State  Board  of  Charities  until 
such  time  as  the  matter  is  more  thoroughly  investi- 
gated.

Ix^en  i  ileitistence  for  some  six  or  seven  we^-ks.  The 
main  <^hjcct  of  the  meetinc  was  to  devLse  some 
means  hf  protecting  the  men  who  desire  to  return  to 
work  litoii  the  violent  actions  of  the  strikors.  The 
first  p'>r.son  jto  address  the  meeting  was  William 
Stranice,  of  tho  firm  of  William  Strange  ife  Co.,  one 
of  the  larjeaH  silk  goods  manufacturers  of  Palerson. 
Hissppedhwas  devoted  to  tho  question,  "Should 
those  :ew  weavers  now  on  a  strike  Ito  allowed  to  in- 
dulge In  all  kinds  of  unlawful  acts  f"  He  re- 
cited s  ovt  ral  |  ca.ses,  showing  where  his  men  who 
wished  tp  remain  at  work  had  bceen  threatened 
by  tho  6tike|rs  and  had  been  attacked  and  roughly 
handled  I  y  some  of  the  most  vicious  members  of  tho 
Silk  Wearers' Association.  He  did  not  believe  in 
allowing  he  ptrikcrs  to  intimidate  workmen  in  th.-it 
manner.  He  thouKht  that  it  would  be  very  appro- 
priateifoi  tho  Board  of  Trade  to  take  some  action  in 
the  mattt  r. 

Mr.  It.  N.  Dale,  proprietor  of  the  Dale  Silk  Jlills. 
spoke  {at  lenrth  in  the  same  vein,  and  suhmitted  a 
resolution  rcuucstinc  the  Presidente  to  appoint  a

witn  Him  as  ^o  the  necessity  of  taking  prompt  action

Mayor  Buckley.whoisamemberof  the  hoard,  arose 
at  thisstj^re  of  the  proceedings  aud  offered  to  leave 
the  room.  He  said  that  at  the  proper  time  and  plaro 
he  wonid  "be  prepared  to  vindicate  his  course  in  re- 
gard t0  the  strike,  but  he  had  received  an  invitaticm 
to  aitendlthis  meeting,  and  had  come  not  as  a  public 
officeribut  as  a  member  of  the  board.  He  closed  by 
remindinirthe  meml»ers  that  he  was  not  on  trial  that 
evenidg.  andiplcking  up  his  hat  he  left  the  room. 

An  amt  ndment  to  the  resolution,  espressiuu;  confi- 
donee  In  tho  JIayor.  was  offered  by  Jlr.  Con^don.  hut 
it  was  loB"  on  a  division,  and  the  original  resolution 
was  tlijen  putand  carried  unanimously. 

Thoistiikins  silk-wtavers  have  resolved  to  con- 
tinue the  strike,  owing,  no  doubt,  to  the  action  of 
the  Boarf  of  Trmie  in  dtrij-iue  them  admittance  to 
their  njiee  ing  and  not  sho wms  a  desire  to  meet  them

XEW- JERSEY. 

During  the  last  quarter  the  Jersey  City  Police 
made  1,270  arrests. 

The  strikers  on  the  Central  Railroad  of  New- 
Jersey  have  decided  to  go  to  work. 

Owinir  to  the  depression  of  the  times,  a  large 
number  of  the  employp.i  of  tl\,6  Lefayetto  Steel 
Works  were  yesterday  discharged. 

John  Jones,  a  boy.  visiting  relatives  in  Bay- 
onne.  was  seized  with  a  fit  of  sickness  sooa  after 
bathing  in  Newark  Bay,  Tuesday,  and  died  Wednes- 
day. 

Peter  Glennan.  aged  S  years,  was  drowned 
in  the  Morris  CanaL  at  Newark,  on  Wednesday 
evening  :  and  about  the  same  time  Joseph  Balpoa.st 
fell  into  the  Passaic  River  and  was  drowned.  Both 
bodies  were  recovered. 

Two  women,  striking  silk  employes,  of  Pater- 
Eon.  wero  yesterday  afternoon  sent  to  jnil  for  a,ssault- 
ing  another  female  operative  who  had  returned  to 
work.  The  authorities  arc  d«termined  to  punish  all 
such  acts  of  intimidation. 

It  is  said  that  Superintendent  Roasoner.  of 
the  Morris  and  Esses  RaUroad,  has  concluded  tij  dis- 
charge from  his  service  all  the  firemen  and  engineers 
who  participated  in  the  late  strike  on  that  road.  He 
has  already,  according  to  the  same  authority,  dis- 
charged eight  men  since  work  was  resumed  on  the 
road. 

A  man  named  MUler,  a  member  of  a  Newark 
lodge  of  Odd  Fellows,  sued  his  lodge  for  sick  bene- 
fits, the  lodge  setting  up  the  defense  that  Miller  had 
no  claim,  jis  his  dues  were  not  paid  up.  The  case 
was  heard  before  Justice  Johnson  yesienlay,  and  ho 
ordered  a  non-suit,  for  tho  reason  that  tho  plaintiff 
was  not  in  good  standing. 

A  gang  of  burglars  entered  ex-Shcriff  Ryder's 
house,  at  Elizabeth,  Wednesday  night,  and  stole  30 
nieces  of  silver  plate.  Tli'^y  attempted  to  enter  the 
house  of  John  Davidson,  hut  were  fired  upon  and 
withdrew.  They  also  attempted  an  entrince  at  tho 
house  of  Rev.  Hugh  Smjthe,  but  were  frightened  off. 
No  arrests  have  been  made. 

Since  the  strike  commenced  Elizabeth  has 
been  overrun  with  thieves,  and  several  burglaries 
have  been  committed.  On  Wednesday  Jho  house  of 
ex-Sheriff  Ryder  was  robbed  of  several  pieces  of 
silver-ware  and  some  .wearing  apparel.  Attempts 
were  al.so  made  to  enter  the  hou-ses  of  ex-Senator 
Davidson  and  Rev.  Hugh  Smyihe.  but  at  the  hitter 
place  the  burglars  were  frightened,  nnd  at  the  former, 
they  were  driven  away  by  several  pistol  shots,  none 
of  which  happened,  however,  to  be  well  directed.  Xo 
arrests  have  been  made.

COLLECTOR  FEEELAXD  IN  TROUBLE. 


SERIOUS  CRAKQES  AGAINST  HIM — THE  ALLE- 
GATIONS TO  BE  INVESTIGATED— WHAT 
HIS  FRIENDS   SAT  OX  THE  SUBJECT. 

It  became  known  in  this  City  and  Brooklyn 
yesterday  that  Gen-  Green  B.  R&tun,  Commissioner 
of  Internal  Revenue,  had  recently  been  tdaced  in 
possession  of  serious  charges  against  Collector  Free- 
land*  of  Brooklyn,  and  that  Mr.  Brooks,  Chief  of 
the  Secret  Service  Barean,  wotild  leave  Washington 
for  Brooklyn  to-day  for  the  purpose  of  Investigating 
them.  The  charges  are  embraced  in  12  specifica- 
tions, and  it  is  claimed  that  they  are  preferred  by 
prominent  business  men  of  I  Brooklyn,  who  promise 
to  substantiate  them  by  the  testimony  of  a  host  of 
witnesses,  if  the  Government  will  guarantee  that  the 
witnesses  shall  be  protected  fi^m  oflicial  persecu- 
tion and  annoj-ance.  Among  the  charges  are 
black -maiUng,  extortion,  vexations  and  unnecessary 
seizures,  non-accounting  for  sales,  paying  pri- 
vate debts  with  Government  stamps,  failure 
to  collect  dues,  and  collusion  with  distillers 
and  other  revenno  officers.  It  is  also  charged  that 
when  Special  Agents  of  the  treasury  were  sent  from 
Washington  to  investigate  the  nffairs  of  Collector 
Freeland'fi  office,  the  account  of  stock  was  taken  by 
avoirdupoht.  Dispatches  from  Washington  say  that 
these  gr.ave  accusaliohs  are  the  result  of  a  feeling  of 
indignation  on  the  part  of  the  business  men  of  Brook- 
l\^l  over  the  retenjtion  of  Mr.  'lYeeland  in  office  against 
their  most  earnest  protests. 

A  reporter  of  The  Times  called  to  see  Mr.  Free- 
land  la.st  evening  in  reference  to  this  matter.  Thtt 
gentleman  was  not  at  home,  but  his  intimate 
personal  friend-s.  Mr.  Palmer,  of  the  fnion  and  Arffu*. 
and  Mr.  Ellis,  spoke  for  him.  They  said  there  was  no 
question  but  that  charges  had  been  preferred  against 
Mr.  Freeland  by  some  persons  who  had  personal  or 
political  aims  to  forward  in  the  event  of 
his  removal  from  office,  but  they  uutiuahfiedly 
denied  every  material  allegation  against  the 
honestv,  integrity,  and  efficiency  of  tbe  C^lb-ctor. 
Mr.  Palmer  said  he  was  confident  that  a  more  honor- 
able and  conscientious  gentleman  never  ser^'ed  the 
Government  in  any  cap.'icity.  The  aUegation  tiiat  ho 
u.sed  official  stamps  to  defray  private  debts  was  pre- 
posterous. Mr.  Fretland  would  not  even  use  a  Htamp 
that  belonged  to  the  Govemm^'nt  on  a  private 
letter.  The  other  chames  were  in  the  main 
equally  as  absurd,  and  had  been  shown 
to  be  so  already.  Mr.  Palmer  laughed  at  tho 
charge  in  relation  to  tho  manner  in  which  tho 
Special  Treasury  Agents  had  investigated  the  ac- 
counts of  Mr.  Preelatids  office.  The  hooks,  he  said, 
were  and  are  always  open  to  the  full  and  free  Inspec- 
tion of  any  person  who  take.5  sufficient  interest  in  tlie 
affairs  of  the  Collector  to  examine  tnem.  Secure  in 
every  conceivable  point  at  which  bis  honesty  and 
efficiencv  could  be  attacked.  Mr.  Freeland  courted  In- 
vestigation, the  result  of  which  can  only  redotmd  to 
his  credit. 

Mr.  Ellis  said  there  was  no  truth  whatever  in  the 
assertion  that  tlie  petition  for  Mr.  Freeland's  re- 
moval had  b€-on  signed  by  the  foremost  men  of  Brook- 
lyn. He  [EHis]  had  himself  drawn  up  a  request  for 
Mr.  Freeland's  retention,  and  he  knew  that  it  had 
V>een  signed  cheerfully  and  ■willingly  by  citizens  ,wboso 
characters  were  abov'e  reproach,  merchans  and  pub- 
lic men  nfJ>oth  parties.  Neither  Mr.  Palmer  nor 
Mr.  Ellis  kn^  (or  at  least  they  said  they  did  not 
know)  who  were  the  persons  who  had  petitioned  for 
the  removal  of  Mr.  Freeland.  and  who  had  now  nre- 
ferred  chanies  agaln.st  him.  but  it  is  understood  that 
the  name  of  one.of  them  is  :&ilverman. 


TBE  PRFSIDEXT  ASKED  TO  EXPLAIX. 
The  following  communication,   which   sufS- 
ciently  explains  itself,  has  heen  sent  to  President 
Hayes  by  the  officers  of  the  Twentieth  Ward  l[Brook- 
lyn>  Republican  As.sociation : 

Bkookxvn,  July  31.  Ifi77. 
To  Hu  ExcdUncy   Riither/ord  B.  Hayes,  Prenident, 

The  Twentieth  Ward  Republican  Association  of 
Brooklyn  have  received  a  larce  number  of  resigna- 
tions of  membership  frotn  gentlemen  holding  _pORi- 
tions  in  the  Customhouse.'  Post  Office,  and  Navy- 
yard.  Tlieso  resignations  result  from  your  recent 
order  in  reference  to  participatiooi  by  Federal  ofScers 
in  political  conventions.  The  undersigned  were  ap- 
ponltfjd  a  committAe  from  the  association  to  ask 
whether  the  order  referred  to  covers  inembc-rship  in 
such  organiiations. 

The  Twentieth  Ward  Republican  Association  em- 
braces within  its  membership  every  Republican  voter 
of  the  word  who  has  asked  admission,  and  has  a  roU- 
btiok  upon  which  the  names  of  such  voters  are  en- 
tered. These  persons  and  no  others  are  entitled  to 
vote  at  all  the  primary  elections,  at  which  not  only 
are  the  delegates  to  the  several  political  conventions 
chosen,  but  the  ward  officers,  such  as  Aldermen  and 
Super\isors.  are  also  nominated  for  the  general  elec- 
tion. The  ward  being  strongly  Republican,  it  is 
manifest  that  imder  ordinary  circumstances  the  per- 
sons thus  nominated  for  Alderman  and  Snpervisor 
are  reasonably  certain  of  victor^'  at  the  general  elec- 
tion. 

Practically,  therefore,  if  your  order  forbids  Fed- 
eral nflico -holders  to  be  menibers  of  the  Ward  .Asso- 
ciation, and  if  continuance  in  the  exercise  of  the 
rights  of  membership  is  a  breach  of  the  order,  such 
persons  are,  to  some  exi^'nt,  excluded  frQm  the  right 
of  suffrsge.  We  esteem  the  primary  election,  as  con- 
ducted bv  tbe  vfard  a.-isocjation.  an  important  civil 
right,  as  It  is  certainly  the  foimtain  and  source  of  po- 
Uiiful  power. 

The  resign.itions  which  haye  been  already  recclv*Hi 
by  the  association  were  laid;  upon  tJie  table  in  order 
to  obtain  from  you  an  expression  whether  persons 
holding  Federal  positions  will  be  prejudiced  by  Tuem- 
bership.  and  whether  they  are  expected  to  withdmw 
from  all  participation  in  iheseleetion  of  delegates  for 
convention  and  nominees  for  ward  and  otiier  offices, 
and  action  will  be  deferred  tmtil  your  answer  Is  re- 
ceived.   Ver\'  resnectfully  your.s,

Ay  OLD  GRIEYAXCE. 

To  the  Editor  ofthf  Nine-  York  Times : 

A  large  number  of  yoiir  readers  have  been 
gratified  by  the  editorial  in'  yotir  paper  of  Aug.  1, 
entitled  "  Swindling  States."  It  is  indeed  wonder- 
ful to  a  plain  person  how  pop^ilar  dishonesty  has  be- 
come with  the  multitude,  and  that,  however  ready  the 
individual  may  be  to  pay  his  de  Jts.  yet.  as  a  body, 
they  aro  always  opposed  to|  paj-meut,  for  benefits 
that  have  been  enjoyed.  Perhaps  this  would  not  ap- 
pear so  strange  if  the  voters  i^ere  all  tax-payers,  but 
even  those  who  have  no  pecuniary  interest  at  stake 
are  proved  to  gladly  rush  to  the  dishonest  side.  This 
tendency  can  only  be  arrested:  by  the  power  of  public 
opinion,  and  it  is  the  manifest  duty  of  the  press  to 
strike  unsparingly,  without  fear  or  favor,  wherever 
the  thieving  dispcsition  shows  itself,  be  it  in  the  pri- 
vate station  or  in  the  State.  But  if  the  "swindling 
State"  is  so  abhorent  to  our  sense  of  justice,  what  shall 
be  said  of  the  "swindling  General  Government?"  Has 
not  our  countr>'  sowed  the  s^d  ;  and  shall  it  decline 
to  reap  ?  or.  rather,  has  it  not  carefully  taught  its 
children  that  robbery  Ls  often  (expedient ;  at  any  rate, 
that  honesty  must  never  stani  in  the  way  of  policy  ? 
You  have,  no  doubt,  many  instances  before  you.  but 
it  is  here  only  necessarv  t<^  recall  one.  a  robbery^ 
whose  victims — many  of  thiem  now  just  alive — 
from  the  years  of  their  prinie  to  their  old  age  have 
called  unceasinsly  upon  the  ■  Goverument  to  return 
them  their  fathers'  property— only  to  return  them 
their  own,  without  anv  thought  of  interest,  so  their 
dechning  wars  might  he  spared  from  poverty.  And 
to  think  that  they  have  beeni  always  denied,  and  al- 
ways assured  that  their  claiuii  was  perfectly  just  but 
too  unjwpular!  I  refer,  of  course,  to  the  French 
spoliation  claims,  and  to  the  'wronged  and  outraged 
heirs,  Hving  and  dead,  of  the  merchant  claimants. 

Three-quarters  of  a  century  have  passed  since,  by

knew  how  to  make  the  most  of  it.  They  ad- 
vanced in  swarms  through  the  dusk  on  their 
original  first  position,  and  captured 
the  Russian  cannons  before  the  bat- 
teries could  bo  withdrawn.  Turkish  shells 
began  once  more  to  whistle  'over  the 
ridge  above  Ra<b.shova  and  fall  into  the  village 
behind  now  crammed  with  wounded.  The 
streams  of  wounded  wending  their  painful  way 
over  the  ridge  were  incessant.  The  badly 
wounded  mostly  lay  inhere  they  fell.  Later,  in 
the  darkness,  a  baleful  sort  of  krankeiitraegrr 
swarmed  over  the  battle-field  in  the  shape  of 
Eashi-Bazouks,  who  spared  not  Lingering 
there  on  the  rtdge  till  the  moon  rose,  the  staff 
could  hear  from  below  on  the  still  night  air  cries 
of  pain  and  entreaties  for  mercy  and  the 
yells  of  bloodthirsty  fanatical  triumph.  It 
was,  indeed,  an  hour  to  wring  the  stern- 
est heart.  We  stayed  there  to  learn,  if  it 
might  be,  what  troops  were  coming  out  of  the 
"  valley  of  the  shadow  of  death  "  below,  were 
there  indeed  any  at  all  to  come.  It  did  not  seem 
to  be  the  case.  The-Turks  had  our  range  before 
dark,  and  we  could  watch  the  flash  of  flame  over 
against  us,  and  then  listen  to  the  scream  of  the 
shell  as  it  tore  by  us.  The  sound  of  rifle  bullets 
was  incessant,  and  the  escort  and  retreating 
wounded  were  struck.  A  detachment  at  length 
began  to  come  straggling  up,  but  it  will  give  an 
idea  of  the  disorganization  to  say  that  when  a 
company  was  'told  off  to  cover  somewhat  the 
wounded  in  Radishova,  it  had  to  be  made  up  of 
men  of  soveral.jeginients.  About  !>  o'clock  the 
staff  quitted  the  ridge,  leaving  it  .littered  with 
groaning  men.  and  mo\-ing  gently,  lest  we  should 
tread  on  the  prostrate  wounded.'we  lost  our  way 
as  we  lost  oiur  army.  We  could  ilcd  no  rest  for 
the  soles  of  our  feet  by  reason  of  alarms  of 
Bashi-Bazouks  swarming  in  among  the  scattered 
and  reririug  Russians.  At  length,  at  1  o'clock 
in  the  morning,  having  been  in  the  saddle  since 
<>  o'clock  on  the  previous  morning,  we  turned 
"into  a  btubble-tield.  and  making  beds  of  the 
reaped  grain,  correspondent  and  Cossack 
alike  rested  under  the  stars.  But  we 
were  not  even  then  allowed  to  re.«t. 
Before  4  o'clock  an  alarm  came  that  the 
Bashi-Bazouks  were  up<'>n  us.  and  we  had  to 
rouse  and  tramp  away.  The  only  protection  of 
the  chief  of  what  in  the  morning  was  a  fine 
army  was  now  a  handful  of  wearied  Cossacks. 
Gen.  Krudfcner  sent  word  in  the  morning  that 
he  had  lost  severely  and  could  make  no  head- 
way, and  had  resolved  to  fall  haefeon  the  line  of 
the  River  Osma.  There  had  been  talk,  his 
troops  being  fre.-.h,  of  renewing  the  attack  to- 
day with  his  co-operation,  but  it  is  a  plain  state- 
ment of  fact  that  we  have  no  troops  to  attack 
with.  The  mo.st  mo<lerate  estimate  is  that  we 
have  lost  two  regiments,  say  5,000 
men,  out  of  our  three  brigades.  A 
ehastly  number,  beating  Eylau  or  Friedland. 
•9  This  takes  no  account  of  (Jen.  Krudener's  lo.sses. 
/  We,  too.  retire  on  the  Osma  River  about  Bulga- 
^^l^^ni,  and  to  the  best  of  otir  weak  strength  cover 
the  bridge  at  Sistova.  One  cannot,  in  this  mo- 
ment of  hurried  confusion,  realize  all  the  possi- 
ble results  of  this  stroke  so  rashly  courted.  Xot 
a  Russian  soldier  stands  between  Tirnova  and 
the  victorious  Turkish  Army  in  Loveca  and 
Plevna,  and  only  a  wc-ak  division  of  the  Elev- 
enth Corps  stands  between  Tirnova  and  the 
Shnmla  Army.  I  look  on  Prince  Schaekcskoys 
force  as  wrecked — as  no  longer  for  this  cam- 
paign to  be  counted  as  a  fighting  integer. 
It  is  not  10  days  since  the  Thirtieth  Division 
crossed  the  Danube  in  the  pride  of  superb  con- 
dition ;  now.  what  of  it  is  left  is  demoralized 
and  shattered.  So  on  this  side  of  the  Balkans 
there  remains  but  the  Xinth  Corps,  already 
roaghly  handled,  once  at  Xikopolis  and.once  at 
Plevna,  one  division  of  the  Eleventh  Corps,  and 
the  Rustchuk  Army.  Xow,  if  the  Rusrchuk 
Army  is  marched  to  'the  we.st  against  Plevna, 
then  the  Turkish  Army  of  Rustchuk  is  let  lo-tse 
on  the  Russiian  communications  to  Tirnova.  One 
cannot  avoid  the  conclusion  that  the  advance 
over  the  Balkans  is  seriously  compromLsed.  The 
Russian  strait  is  so  bad  tfiatthe  scattered  de- 
tachments have  been  c^ll^d  up  from  out  of  Rou- 
mania,  and  the  Roumanian  division  commanded 
by  Gen.  Manu,  which  crt^s-sed  a  day  or  two  ago 
at  Nikopolis,  has  been  called  up  to  the  lihe  of 
•the  Osma  River.  An  aid-de-camp  of  the  Grand 
Ihike  Nicholas  was  present  at  the  battle,  and  at 
once  started  for  Tirnova  with  the  evil  tidings; 
'We  are  just  quitting  this  bivouac,  and  falling 
back  on  Bnlgareni  "with  all  speed,  leaving  the 
Bulgarian  villages  to  the  tender  mercies  of  the 
Ttirks.  As  I  clo.*e,  I  learn  that  on  our  left  Gen. 
Skobeleff  was  very  severely  handled,  ha\-ing  lost 
300  men  out  of  his  single  Infantry  battalion. 

Lrf»"l>OX,  -\ug.  4. — The  Paili/  Sews'  corre- 
spondent with  Prince  Schackosky's  force,  tele- 
graphing from  Simnitza  under  date  of  Aug.  1 , 
^ves  an  accotint  of  the  retre.at.  He  says  :  *:  The 
road  from  Poredin  to  Bulgareni  was  cunahered 
with  broken  and  retreating  troops,  wholly  desti- 
tute of  order,  oificers  without  saddlers,  soldiers 
without  officers,  without  cohesion  and  mostly 
without  arms.  At  the  narrow  bridge 
near  Bulgareni  there  was  wild  confusion 
and  a  complete  block ;  tumbrils,  ambulance 
wagons,  provision  wagons,  ofiBcer.s'  caleches,  led 
horses,  and  carts  tilled  with  wotmded,  all 
•were  jammed  in  indescribable  chaos. 
There  had  been  wounded  all  along 
the  road,  but  the  bulk  of  the  wounded  bejran  a 
little  way  beyond  Bulgareni  and  extended 
in  an  unbroken  line  for  seven  mikg 
along  the  road  to  Sistova.  They  were 
mosuy  carried  in  o.x-carts,  several  cases  in  am- 
bulances, and  large  numbers  tramped 
on  foot.  Immense  numbers  of  wounded 
had  tramped  the  whole  way  from  the 
battle-field  and  were  already  entering  Sis- 
tova at  G  o'clock  yesterday  evening. 
They  must  have  walked  40  miles  in 
24  hours.  wotinded  a.s  they  were. 
Nearly  all  these  "wounded,  however, 
ron.sisted  of  men  who  had  somehow  managefl  to 
walk  out  of  the  battle.  The  'oad  cases  were 
mostly  left  where  they  fell.  The  staff  oflicer 
nith  whose  estimate  I  am  inclined  to 
agree  thinks  the  whole  force  lost  between  ti,000 
and  7,000  men  in  killed  and^^^wounded.  A 
brigade  of  the  Thirty-second  Division  has  suf- 
fered the  most  heavily.  Besides  the  trrible 
loss  of  men  it  sacrificed  the  imperial  banner  of 
one  of  its  regiments.  The  whole  of  the  Tliir- 
tieth  Dirision  'iias  been  smitten  very  sorely. 
All  of  the  three  brigades  of  Prince  Schackosky's 
command  are  for  a  time  in  a  state  of  disorgan- 
ization. 

The  SttndartTs  Biela  dispatch  says":  '*  Bashi- 
Bazouks  have  appeared  near  Sistova.  They  are 
thought,  however,  to  be  a  mere  detachment,  not 
Indicating  the  presence  of  any  Turkish  force. 
Kazanlik  is  to  be  abandoned.  Gen.  Gourkho  is 
to  be  recalled  and  Gen.  jVIirsky  to  be  summoned 
hither  from  Gabrova.  Everything  on  the  other 
side  of  the  Balkans  wiU,  in  fact,  be  relinquished 
except  the  actual  pass." 

The  Daily  Telegraph  has  a  special  dispatch 
purporting  to  give  an  account  of  another  defeat 
of  the  Rusbians  before  Plevna  on  Wednesday. 

A  Benin  dispatch  to  this  afternoon's  Pall 
MaXl  Gazette  .says  :  •■  The  Russian  3Iinister  of 
War  has  issued  orders  directing  the  Army 
Borps  not  yet  mobilized  to  tumlsh  a 
division  each  to  the  fighting  army  to  be 
U  once  dispatched  to  the  Danube.  Rus- 
fflor.  jotimals   deny  that   tha   Cxas  h»»  sanc- 


tioned a  decree  calling  the  Landwehr  to 
the  colors,  becatise  there  is  a  law  pro- 
viding that  the  Landwehr  is  not  to  be  called  out 
until  the  entire  army  is  mobilized.  All  hitherto 
done  consists  in  preparation  for  mobiUzatlou  of 
the  Landwehr  whenever  called  out. 

The  Standard's  St.  Petersburg  dispatch  says : 
'•  In  addition  to  the-  reserves  which, 
since  the  commencement  of  the  war, 
have  been  continually  sent  southward,  the 
whole  Imperial  Guard  has  been  ordered  to  pre- 
pare to  proceed  to  Bulgaria.  The  first  detach- 
ment will  start  in  a  few  days.

COSTS  ON  THE  LADY. 

Paris,  Aug.  3. — Adelina  Patti's  case  has 
been  decided.  Both  the  lady  and  her  husband 
had  filed  applications  for  jjudicial  sepai-ation. 
Madame  Patti's  application  was  refused.  Her 
husband's  was  granted.     The  sentence   states 

that  Mme.  Patti  does  not  even  offer  to  bring  for- 
ward any  proofs  of  the  facts  she  alleges.  On  the 
other  hand,  the  documents  placed  before  the  tri- 
bunal, particularly  correspondence.addressed  to 
Mme.  Patti  by  a  third  person,  show  that  hef 
conduct  did  the  gravest  injury  to  her  hus- 
band. The  court,  therefore,  pronounces 
against  her  petition  for  separation  of 
body  and  goods,  and  condemns  her  to 
pay  costs.  As  divorce  is  unrecognized 
by  the  French  law,  neither  party  ban  marry

to  the  adriwibiHty  of  resumption.  There  have 
numerous  reports  of  attempts  by 
to  intimidate  men.  but  dill- 
inquiry  fails  to  confirm  any  of 
them.  I  The  Bloomsburg  Division  of  the  Dela-

and  with  guards  of  troops  trains  run  with  tol- 
erable regularit}-.  The  funerals  of  three  of  the 
men  who  were  killed  on  Wednesday  were  held 
to-day.  The  fiiabrals  were  large,  and  they 
passed  down  Lackawanna-avenue  and  over  to 
Hyde  Park  Catholic  Cemetery  without  interrup- 
tion, and  created  no  excitement  whatever.  The 
strikers  are  as  determined  as  ever,  and  all  re-

A  number  of  men  who  were  on  their  way  this 
morning  to  the  Delaware  and  Lackawanna  car

strikers  and  dissuaded  from  resuming  work. 
It  is  now  thought  that  the  attempt  to  resume 
business  will  be  postponed  until  Monday.  Mil- 
itary discipline  is  exerted  here  at  night.  All

able coal  was  sent  south  on  the  <  'entral  Railroad 
of  NewiJersey,  bu.t  no  other  trains  were  started. 
It  is  thought  that  both  roads  \^ilI  be  opened  to-

discovered  b*-fore  it  had  made  much  headway, 
however,  and  was  extingui'ihed  by  the  Police. 
This  act  at  the  hands  of  some  miscreant  has  had 
theeffecttodispel  partially  the  feeling  of  security 
that  had  been  growing  throughout  the  past  24 
hours.  The  Police  force  has  been  strengthened 
and  pre  ?Autions  taken  to  guard  against  a  repe- 
tition of  last  night's  inrendiary  attempt.  Al- 
though "most  of  the  Hazolton  mines  resumed

Cumberland,  Md.,  Aug.  3. — Raymond 
Patterson,  a  conspicuous  rioter,  who  was  arrest- 
ed by  Gen.  Getty  in  person,  was  permitted  to 
escape  J'rom  the  Court-house  at  Keyser'yester- 
day  aft<!moon,  evincing  a  disposition  on  tne 
part  of  iome  of  the  authorities,  the  railroad  au- 
thorities say,  to  neutralize  all  efforts  to  put  an 
end  to  tie  existing  disastrous  state  of  affairs. 
Patterson  had  been  arrested  by  Gen.  Getty  and 
taken  by  the  General  himself  to  Piedmont,  where 
he  was  jlaced  in  charge  of  Col.  Warren.  The 
Colonel  had  him  taken  beforo  Justice  Harrison, 
of  Piedmont,  who  committed  him,  and  had  him 
sent  to  Ileyser  in  charge  of  a  constable  and  a 
squad  o:!  United  States  soldiers.  The  warrant 
for  his  arrest  charged  him  with  teJdng  out  bolt- 
pins  and  unc^pling  cars  on  Sunday  last  dur- 
ing the  .general  riot  at  Keyser.  The  warrant 
was  somewhat  informal,  and  yesterday,  at  Key- 
ser, on  motion  made  by  his  counsel,  the  Justice, 
Mr.  Shay,  also  the  Mayor  of  Keyser,  intimated 
to  the  prosecuting  attorney  that  it  was  defec- 
tive ;  but  the  State's  Attorney  waaready  with  a 
new  affidavit,  all  in  due  form,  to  be  sworn  to 
by  the  person  making  the  charge,  who  was 
present.  As  soon  as  the  Justice  inti- 
mated hia.  opinion,  although  he  had 
not  dlBsharged  the"  prisoner,  one  of  the 
attorneys  for  the  prisoner,  Mr.  Price,  who  is 
also  Recorder  of  the  town,  told  him  to  leave. 
He  at  once  got  up  and  ran  away  from^he  poUce- 
aaen.  in  charge,  and  although  they  were  called 
upon  tol  arrest  him,  both  by  the  Justice 
and  the  railroad  company's  counsel,  they 
made  no  effort  to  do  so,  but  permitted 
him  to  j  escape  from  the  court-room,  which 
was  crowded  ydth  svmx)athizing  fTiends. 
The  Stajte's  Attorney  and  Justice  Shay  are  de- 
siroos  of  doing  their  duty.  A  statement  of 
the  facts  as  above  has  been  sent  to  Gov. 
Matthew^  requesting  him  to  take  action  to  pre- 
vent such  occurrences.  Patteison  escapea  to

sultation in  re  ;am  tb  a  reduction  in  trippages, 
&c.  They  ars  dearous  of  returning  to  work, 
and  say  what  they  want  is  uniform  rates  and 
the  right  of  pcsi^ontin  line.  It  is  thought  pos- 
sible that  they  will  niot  insist  much  longer  in  de-

Baltimore.  Md..  Aue:.  3. — Gen.  Barry  has 
been  in  constiltation  with  Gov.  Carroll,  at  the 
City  Hall,  in  reierence  to  the  use  of  United 
States  troops  in  Maryland.  It  was  regarded 
thai^  the  news  "rom  the  coal  miners  was  not  un- 
favorable to  a  pei«eable  adjustment.  The  canal 
boatmen  presftnt  a  jmore  difficult  problem  to 
solve  just  now  "t  is  thought  they  will  not  bo 
permitted  to  otst  ruct  the  business  of  the  canal 
much  longer.  The  canal  is  considered  as  much 
a  public  high^  ay  as  the  railroa^d,  and,  relative- 
ly, as  importar  t  tr)  c<»mmerce  U'  be  kept  open. 

The  United  States  troops  which  had  for  more 
than  two  weeks  been  kept  on  guard  at  the 
Camden  Sta-tion  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad,  under  Gen.  Barry,  were  yesterday 
withdrawn  by  )rc  ers  from  the  Secretary  of  War. 
About  midd  ly  G  ?n.  Barry  removed  his

with  him  Col.  F'>rrey's  command  of  marines, 
about  130  mer,  who  were  transported  by 
special  cars  to  Locust  Point.  There  are  also  at 
Fort  McHenry  two  Companies  of  the  Eleventh

Speriat  DtgpateX  to  the  Xeto-  Tork  Time*. 

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  3. — One  of  the 
most  disastrous  fires  in  respect  to  the  loss  of 
life  entailed  that  ever  occurred  in  Cincinnati 
broke  out  at  7  o'clock  this  morning.  The  build- 
ing consumed  was  a  flve-story  brick,  near  the 
corner  of  Eiprhth-street  and  Broadway,  and  was 
used  as  a  ci??ar-lK>x  manufactory.  Nearly  all 
the  employes,  mosdiy  girls,  and  1.^  or  IS  in 
number,  were  at  work  in  the  third  or  fourth 
story  when  tiie  alarm  sounded,  l^it  so  rapid 
was  the  spread  of  the  flames  in  the  dry,  com- 
bustible material  with  which  the  place  was 
stored,  that  instantly  all  means  of  es- 
cape to  the  lower  floor  was  cut-  off.  The 
terrified  inmates  rushed  from  one  part  of 
the  building  to  the  other,  not  daring  to  jump  to 
the  ground.  Two  of  the  girls,  more  prompt  and 
courageous  than  the  rest,  ran  to  the  burning 
stairway,  dashed  through  the  flames  and  fell  ex- 
hausted and  badly  burned  at  the  bottom.  Their 
injuries  were  not  fatal.  The  others  ran  from 
window  to  window,  imploring  the  crowd  outside 
to  do  something  to  rescue  them,  but  every  effort 
failed,  owing  to  the  marvelous  rapidity  with 
which  the  flames  spread  through  the  building. 
( )ne  num  succeeded  in  raising  a  ladder,  but  fall- 
ing bricks  and  burning  pieces  of  timber  drove 
him  aw:iy.  Gradually  the  victims  were  driven 
upward  toward  the  roof,  where  all  possibility  of 
ewapu  was  otit  off.  Three  minutes  later  the 
whole  building  was  on  fire,  and  the  cries  of  the 
inmates  were  Tir^'ue<l  in  the  roaring  flames. 
It  was  scarcely  10  minutes  from  the  time  the 
alarm  was  given  until  the  fire  was  bursting  out 
.of  every  window  and  shooting  upward  from  the 
roof. 

As  soon  as  the  flames  were  under  sufficient 
control  the  firemen  began  to  look  for  the  bodies 
that  were  in  the  ruins.  They  soon  discovered 
in  the  cellar  amass  of  smoking  remains,  which 
proved  to  be  the  bodies  of  four  un- 
fortunate victim.s.  They  were  lying  al- 
mo.1t  in  a  heap,  as  if  death  had  over- 
tjikeu  them  when  huddling  together  in  terror 
in  a  comer  of  the  building.  Three  t-f  them 
were  S()on  identified  by  scraps  of  clothing  or  pe- 
culiarities of  teeth,  but  the  fourth  was  burned 
beyond  recognition.  The  search  for  bodies  was 
continued  during  the  afternoon,  but  no  more  were 
found.  Others  who  were  engaged  in  the  fac- 
tory are  still  unaccounted  for,  and  it  is  supposed 
that  they  perished  in  the  flames.  Three  men 
jumped  from  the  second  story  and  escajted  un- 
hurt. One  other  received  such  injuries  that  he 
died  iu  three  or  four,hours.  It  is  stated  !»ythf>se 
who  saw  the  beginning  of  the  fire,  that  I-'nink  .Stu- 
dier.  oneof  the  victim.^,  was  standingon  the  street 
when  he  saw  the  girls  in  the  upper  stories  ap- 
pealiiig  for  blip.  He  called  out  that  he  would 
soon  help  tlieni  uut.  and  darted  up  the  stairway, 
but  was  .Mfon  sufTocated  and  fell  in  the  flames. 
Kxagirerated  s!*;ries  have  been  afloat  during  the 
day  as  t<"i  the  loss  of  life.  So  far.  however,  the 
number  of  those  known  to  have  burned  to 
death  only  reaches  sis.  Considenibltj  criticism 
has  l>een  expres.'ied  toward  the  Fire  Departmeiit 
for  not  taking  some  Dieans  t4>  re.scue  those  in 
the  burning  building,  but  investltrution  shows 
that  every  efl"ort  in  that  direction  was  par- 
alyzed by  the  raj.iditv  uith  which  the  flames 
jsifread.  Almost  l>elVirethefiremen  wen'awarethal 
tiie  inmates  «jf  the  upper  stories  were  cut  off

swindling  J.  F.  Kreps.  of  William  .sport,  Wash- 
ington County.  Md..  of  $20.  It  is  stated  that 
Huff — which  appears  to  be  his  real  name — lived 
at  Williamsport.  and  was  on  a  visit  there.  He 
procured  $20  from  Mr.  Kreps  on  a  promisee  to 
get  him  a  position  iu  the  Treasury  Department. 
Mr.  Kreps  wrote  to  Mr.  Brooks,  Chief  of  the 
Secret  Service  Bui^au  at  Washington, 
about  the  matter,  and  received  a  reply 
that  Huff,  alias  Porter,  was  a  notori- 
ous swindler.  &c. .  and  was  wanted  in 
V.'ashington.  and  in  numerous  other  place.s,  for 
swindling.  Sheriff  Mayberry,  of  W.ishington 
County,  traced  Huff  to  Westminster,  and  there 
telegraphed  to  Marshal  Gray,  at  Baltimore,  who 
set  the  detectives  at  work.  They  watched  un- 
successfully at  the  Post  Office  for  their  man,  but

From  Our  Special  Ctrrrtf/ptmOfrnt. 
Stranton,  Penn.,  Friday,  Aug.  3, ,1877. 
"  We  may  as  well  Ptarve  as  to  t^ 
and  work  longer  for  wages  that  are  not  suffi-  * 
cient  to  keep  body  and  soul  decently  togeth- 
er." This  a  miner  said  to  me  to-day  in  Hyde 
Park,  over  the  river  at  this  place,  along  the 
ridge  into  which  the  Delaware,  Ijackawanna 
and  Western  Railroad  Company  has  sunk  its  IS 
or  more  great  shafts.  I  have  spent  nearly  a 
day  among  the  miners,  visiting  them 
in  their  meetings  and  in  their  houpes, 
and  I  have  been  astonished  to  i3iid 
them,  cool,  quiet,  anxious  to  keei> 
the  peace,  friendly  to  the  military,  but  so  pooar 
and  hopeless  that  their  condition  cannot  posei- 
bly  be  much  worse  without  driving  them  in  des- 
peration to  rash  acts.  This  morning,  on  going 
into  the  hall  where  they  hold  their  ajisemblages, 
I  was  surrounded  by  a  throng  of  them.  Tliey 
were  respectful  in  their  allusion."^  to  the  compa- 
ny, they  were  willing  to  grant  nie  every- facflity 
for  ascertaining  exactly  what  their  condition 
is.  and  they  were,  rejoiced  that  they  had  an. 
opportunity  to  present  tneir  grievances  just 
as  they  were.  A  number  of  their  commit- 
teemen were  present,  and  from  tbera 
I  understood  that  the  complaint  of  the  miners 
is  this :  The  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  West- 
em  Railroad  some  years  ago,  by  the  purchase 
at  high  prices  of  the  lands  in  the  valley, 
obtained  control  of  the  va.«t  tracts  of  coal 
lands  which  they  now  own  and  operate.  At 
great  expense  they  sunk  shaft  after  shaft  all 
over  the  tract,  and  the  c^st  of  sinking  shafts 
and  opening  the  mines  varied  in  each  case  from 
$300,000  to  $500,000.  To  operate  these 
mines  they  gathered  together  laj-ge  num- 
bers of  miners — Welsh,  Germans,  and  Irish. 
To  these  miners  they  offensd  indnce- 
ments  in""  the  way  of  propertv-,  and  many 
of  the  men,  in  the  flush  times,  when  work  was 
plentiful  and  pay  large,  undertook  to  purchase 
houses  or  lands,  to  be  paid  for  by  installments. 
This  gave  a  large  proportion  of  the  men  a  per- 
m.anent  interest  in  the  neigh berhood.  In  1?^73 
the  panic  knocked  down  all  the  building  loan 
a.s.sociations  here,  and  the  miners  soon  Ivegan  to 
feel  their  incumbered  property  a  burden. 
Business  began  to  decline,  but  prices  of  work  in 
the  mines  did  not  suffer  reduction  until  IkT.I. 
In  .January  of  that  year  there  was  areduction  of 
10  per  cent  The  men  were  able  to  do  well 
enough  to  support  their  families  by  economical 
use  of  their  earnings,  but  in  September,  187**, 
there  was  another  reduction  of  lO  per  cent. 
This  cutting,  together  with  the  frequent  sus- 
pension of  mines,  and  the  alterpaiing  sv.<!tem  of 
working  them,  pinched  the  men  badly,  amd 
those  who  had  saved  a  littlo  "in*  better  days  be- 
gan to  draw  upon  their  savincs.  Remon- 
strances were  in  vain.  To  the  miners'  commit- 
tee who  went  to  the  officers  of  the  ro.id  to  ask 
for  the  rescinding  of  the  order  for  a  reduction, 
suggesting  that  the  market  price  of  c/>al  was 'so 
good  that  the  company  could  afford  to  grant  tho 
request,  the  reply  was  given:  "The  market  is 
none  of  your  busine.^is  :  w©  shidl  regulate  wages 
by  the  labor  market.*'  ^^ 

In  March  last  another  reduction  of  1.5  per 
cent,  was  ordered,  and  it  is  the  cairring  out 
of  this  order  that  has  forced  the  men,  in  an 
agony  of  poverty,  of  actual  hung«»r  and  want  in 
ever>'  shape,  to  declare  that  they  wnW  rather  die  of 
slar\'ation without  work  llian  tow'^nk  andsta.rve 
at  one  and  the  .same  time.  The  resilff  of  the  threo 
reductions  1  cannot  present  better  than  by  the 
following  table  of  rates  paid  n.t  the  time.s  speci- 
fied for  different  classes  of  work.  The  figures 
are  taken  from  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and

shown  to  me  at  their  office  here  :  ,

It  may  be  well  to  explain  that  the  difference 
in  the  r^tes  paitl  to  the  miners  is  regulated  by 
the  work  done,  the  'top  coal  bringing  less 
per  car  than  that  got  out  or  the/first  cut,  as  it 
is  easier  to  got  out  the  forma-.  The  miners 
paid  by  the  day  do  odd  jobs  apout  the  mines. 
If  the  inen  could  work  at  the  wices  given  here 
the  week  through,  without  itwerruprion,  they 
would  make  only  moderate  w»es.  But  they 
declare  that  they  are  not  empio^ji  more  than 
half  the  time,  ^d  the  result  is  that  the  best  of 
them  make  only  $25  a  month.  j 

There  was  one  man  in  the  crowd,  an  Irish-J 
man.  whom  I  addrcs-sed.  He  is  emploved  in 
the  Continental  Mine  of  the  Delaware.  Lacka- 
wanna and  We.st<Tn.  and  is  a  laborer.  He  is 
perhaps  in  a  Ix'tier  phwe  thjin  the  ordinary  i 
helper,  tlie  man  who  lo.ids  the  coal  for  an  e,x- 
periencf-vl  miner.  He  goes  in  a  mine  him-'Milf,  I 
and  with  another  miner  take.t  a  chamber  to. 
work  it,  Instea'l  of  taking  on«-t!iird  of  the 
earnings — ^the  portion  alhateii  to  ordinary 
help<'rs — he  has  one-half  and   shares  with  his 

Eartner  the  cost  of  the  suppli<».  Having  paid 
is  n(;cessary  expen.ses  t»>  the  company,  at 
the  end  of  la.st  month  he  had  'S^3S>. 
Out  of  this  came  $4  30  for  rent  of  his  house 
aud  #1  for  coal.  He  ha.^t  a  vrifo  and  three 
children  and  his  mother.  74  years  old,  to  sup- 
port. Their  diet  has  been  for  months  simply  a 
round  of  mush  made  of  Indian  moal.  and  occa- 
sionally potatoes.  The  man  was  clad  iu  clothes 
ver>-  much  the  worse  fv»r  wear,  yt-t  he  said 
they  were  the  best  he  had  to  put  on  when 
he  came  out  of  the  shaft.  '*  But  do  you 
not  have  meat!"  I  asked.  "  Meat  is  *it ! 
sure  I  wouldn't  know  how  to  eat  it,"'  said 
the  man  in  reply,  and  the  truth  of  his  statement 
was  corroborated  by  several  earnest  and  intelli- 
gent men  who  stood  near.  Indeed,  the  crowd.s 
in  the  hall  contained  a  large  number  of  men 
who  spoke  in  good  terms,  with  judgment,  and 
with  choice  of  language  that  showed  a  consider- 
able degree  of  studv-  The  Irishman  said  that 
beyond  a  bit  of  pork  on  pay  day  hi;  had  scarcely 
known  what  it  was  to  taste  meat  for  months. 
In  the  hall  1  met  another  laborer  who  last 
month  made  $2G  *2o.  and  out  of  that 
money  a  large  family  had  to  be  snpported. 
These  were  oiJy  a  few  instances  of  the  acanti- 
ness  of  labor  andjtay,  and  in  the  coiurse  of  con- 
versation other  complaints  came  out.  The  men 
of  the  Delaware,  X>ackawanna  and  Western 
were  unanimous  in  saying  that  tbe  company 
had  alwavs  been  very  prompt  to  pay  it*  em- 
•loyes.  ^There  could  be  no  murmur. on  that 
nore,  and  whatever  they  earned  they  receiveil 
i^4>uhi  ^here  are  no  struck  stores"  or  com- 
pany stores  which  the  men  feel  obliged  to 
patronize. 

A  workman  of  the  LackAwaniia  Coal  and  Itdd 
Company  here  said  that  while  it  was  pretended 
that  the  store  of  that  company  was  one  at  which 
they  were  not  compelled  to  buy,  they  really  wern 
constrained  to  buy  there.  If  they  did  not  they* 
would  soon  know  of  it,  and  they  would  get  lit- 
tle employment  and  little  or  no  cash.  The 
stores,  this  man  asserted,  would  supply  every- 
thing that  could  possibly  be  wanted  by  fami- 
lies. To  get  cash  the  men  at  one  time  resorted 
to  the  plea  of  fiuieralg,  representing  that  friends 
or  relatives  were  dead,  and  they  needed  money 
to  bury  them.  An  undertaker  was  added  to  the 
Store,  and  now  the  fimexal  plea  i»  *  worn  out

one.  It  is  charged  that  doctors  wtio  attend  the 
mineni  prepenl  their  bills  throuffh  the  compaQr 
store,  and  that  the  miners  have  to  pay  5  per 
rent,  for  the  collection  of  the  bill.  The  orders 
of  the  company  are  discounted,  the  miners  say, 
and  a  case  was  mentioned  of  a  boarding-hous^ 
keeper  xrho  took  a  miner's  order  for  $40  as 
payment  of  a  debt,  but  could  only  get  $38 
worth  of  gT>od»  at  the  company's  store  prices. 
A  man  in  the  pine  shaft  aaia  he  had  a  family 
of  nine  to  support,  and  that  '*  notMnK  but  the 
mprry  of  G<>d  had  kept  them  alive."  He  broke 
his  leg-  in  the  mine  in  November,  was  laid-up 
six  months,  and  on  going  to  work  In  March  wfis 
able  to  mako  only  $17  or  $18.  There  were  no 
other  laborers  Jn  the  family,  hia  oldest  child 
being  a  girl  .8  years  of  age.  He  has 
$6  a  month  to  pay  for  rent,  and  the 
rent  had  been  seldom  paid.  Coffee  they  cotdd 
'  not  ufte,  bread  was  almost  a  luxury,  mush  was 
their  staple  artiol*^  of  diet,  and  tea  at  20  to  25 
rents  ft  pound  was  the  most  tempting  article  in 
the  daily  bill  of  fare.  I  heard  of  an  engineer, 
who  is  supposed  to  be  doing  very  well  as  work 
goefl,  who  had  fed  a  family  of  nine  persons  on 
m**al  mush  three  times  a  day,  from  pay  day  to 
]>ay  day,  for  months. 

All  this  was  told  without  passion,  without 
any  ebullition  of  feeling  toward  the  railroad 
conipanv.  Then*  was  not  a  disrespectful  per- 
Sf)n:tl  allusion  to  anybody  during  the  conference 
which  1  held  with  the  men.  The  talk  amounted 
to-that  eventually,  for  the  knot  in  th^ballin- 
rrfrased  to  a  l»ody  of  100,  out  of  which  body 
the  men  wonld  rise  one  after  another  and  make 
their  j-iatemonts  in  an  orderly,  intelligible,  and 
rnniftst  manner.  One  young  man,  a 
AVflshman.  of  good  address  and  clear 
hr;i!l.  spoke  at  some  length  and  with 
painful  earnestness.  The  miners  are  sensitive, 
he  sitid.  to  the  criticism  of  the  outside  world- 
tin- public  who  are  looking  on  from  a  distance, 
and  who  ol^tain  the  impression  that  these  rough 
men  wh.>  work  down  in  the  coal-beds  are  destir 
tute  of  finer  feelings',  of  aspirations,  of  the  de- 
sire for  the  comforts  of  home.  The  man  wore 
a  failed  suit  of  clothes  which  looked  as 
U  he  had  worn  it  in  rain  and  sh  ine 
for  years.  He  said  he  had  bought 
it,  jupt  as  it  was,  iu  a  pawn-shop. 
'' And  what  could  have  been  the  condition  of 
thf  man  who  pai^Tied  it  I "  he  aske<l.  This  mau 
irifd  to  get  away  from  Scranton,  but  he-  found 
business  d^ill  everywhere,  and  had  come  back  to 
try  again,  hoping  for  better  things.  He  de- 
eiiirt'il  that  children  were  dyine  here  for  medi- 
riup  that  they  could  not  get,  because  the  «loc- 
tor.-i  would  not  come  to  the  miners  when  called, 
knomng  they  could  not  pay.  On  inquiring  about 
sini'p  the  strike  he  had  been  Burprised  to  find 
t>i:it  there  were  so  many  men  who  were  worse 
oi'i  xhAu  he.  He  had  discovered  that  there  were 
men  without  work,  without  credit,  and  with 
only  su<'h  food  to  eat  as  the  neighbors  chose  to 
send  into  tht- m  from  time  to  time. 

After  spending  some  lime  with  these  men  in 
their  hall,  and  hearing  more  melancholy  facta 
about  their  condition  than  I  can  send"  in  this 
I'ttt-r.  1  went  about  among  some  of  their  homes. 
1  ua#^\*elt*omed  to  these  lowly  places  with  a 
.iri'o*l  d»*a!  of  courtesy.  I  visited  not  only  the 
homes  of  tho  more  fortunate  but  also  the  cabins 
of  the  poorest.  ^Vliere  there  were  only  two  or 
t)in-f  in  a  family,  and  a  man  had  been  regularly 
employed  so  that  $2."*  or  !?-*7  a  month — far 
above  the  average,  which  is  about  $!?;> — was 
cr.min^  in.  the  homes  of  the  men  were  neat  an<l 
cheerful,  though  very  plain,  and  the  women 
said  they  really  could  not  say  they  wanted  for 
anythiiiir.  But  I  found  many,  many 
houses  where  bread  had  been  Bcarce  in  the  chil- 
(Irirn's  mouttifl.  One  woman  said  her  children 
had  been  sick  from  hunger,  and  she  had  not  a 
mouthftd  to  give  to  them  when  they  cried  for 
something  to  eat.  Another  woman's  eyes  gUs- 
teneil  as  she  told  how  she  had  seen  a  wagon- 
load  of  ••  beautiful  bread"  going  to  the  soldiers' 
cimp,  and  how'  she  wished  it  could  have 
been  brought  over  to  Hyde  Park 
to  be  distributed  among  some  of  those  who  had 
e^^-arcely  eaten  bread  for  weeks.  There  were 
wan  an<l  work-beaten  men  here  who  told  how 
they  had  jrono  into  the  mines  in  the  morning 
with  .a  little  luneh  in  their  pails,  to  take  no 
orhtT  fofid  t"(»r  10  hours,  and,  worse  still.  I  was 
a-suretl  that  so  terribly  had  families  been  pinched 
that  there  were  cases  where  the  men  had 
not  touched  food  from  the  time  they  went  into 
tSe  mine  in  the  morning  until  they  came  out  at

Ajken.  S.  C.  Friday,  July  27,  1877. 

Though  the  meetings  herein  spoken  of  took 
place  some  weeks  ago,  they  have  not  yet  been  pub- 
licly noticed  at  any  length.  'The  first  of  these  mass- 
n.*etin?s  was  held  on  the  1  Itb  uit.,  at  Ellentown, 
and  was  composed  equally  of  white  and  colored  clti- 
»*^n^.  Majur  James  E.  Crossland  presided,  and  W. 
W.  Williams,  Esq.;  was  Secretary.  The  object  of  the 
m»etinj;  was  briefly  explained  by  the  Chairman  as 
bf-inL:  for  the  purpose  of  bringin?  about  a  feeling  of 
pacidoatioa  and  con£dence  between  the  citi- 
tens  connected  with  the  riots  of  last  Sep- 
tember, and  the  prosecntions  arising  therefrom. 
iVf ter  a  full  discussion  a  committee  of  ten  was  ap- 
pointed! o*  white  and  colored  members,  to  report  a 
5et  of  resolutions,  expressing  the  sense  of  the  meet- 
L-iC  on  the  subject  on  which  they  had  gathered  to- 
Brether.  .Sach  committee  reported  "  unanimously  a

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOS,  \ 


THE  STKCGGLE  AGAINST  TASfUANT. 

Fn  (hf  ICUtor  of  The  ^'eto-For*  Timn  : 

The  outlook  in  political  affairs  in  this  City  is 
in  the  highest  degree  satisfactory  to  those  of  otir  citl- 
u-ns  who  hare  so  long  advocated  the  claims  of  Mu- 
nicipal Government  to  the  most  prominent  position 
lu  the  yearly  elections.  But  with  aU  this  we  mnst 
not  lose  sight  of  the  fact  that  the  leeches  of  the  poli- 
tical system  and  the  machine  politicians  who  look  at 
a  campaign  as  a  foraging  expedition,  in  which  the 
tir*t  princ)i;le  is  to  live  on  the  enemy,  are  active  in 
iheir  eilorts  to  add  to  their  own  strength  and  earnest 
imd  sleepless  in  their  projecta  for  thwarting  the 
L-ombination  of  citUens  against  of&ce-holders. 

The  central  point  of  attack,  and  about  and  aroond 
which  the  campaijcn  mnst  be  fonsht.  Is  now.  as  It  has 
been  for  so  many  years,  that  combination  of  a  Uttle 
respectability  and  mnch  rascality,  Democratic  in  Its 
professions  and  dictatorial  In  its  acttial  management, 
creator  of  debt,  rewarder  of  ballot-box  sttiifing.  re- 
peating;, and  all  political  crimes,  the  organization 
tlyrotigh  which  theontrages  of  the  Tweed  Ring  wero 
possible,  and  now  composed  principally  of  the  same 
fio-called  represontativea  aa  ruled  therein  six  yean 
ago — Taramnny  HaP.  It  will  need  no  argument 
to  convince  one  that  a  general  combination  Is  neces- 
sary to  defeat  that  dispenser  of  patronage,  but  the 
details  of  such  a  combination  mnst  be  well  and  thor- 
ouRhly  nnderatood,  and  no  petty  jealousies  allowed 
to  TntcrftTO  therewith. 

On  the  part  of  the  Democracy  an  independent  omnr 
Ization  is  forming,  whose  sole  purpose  It  is  to  effect 
such  a  result  aa  we  liave  indicated,  and  to 
select  such  candidates  for  office  at  all  ottis«y 
can  vote  for  witb  pride  and  laUsfactlon.  The  G«r- 
coana  are  evldwttly  arona«d  to  the  need  of  a  h«arty 
effort  tn  the  eaojw  of  reform,  and  it  la  w«ll  nnder- 
rto^  t^«  Hull  wwltlnn  Is  jpzvpand  to  do  its 


whole  duty  in  the  coming  election.  The  so-called 
Anti-Tammany  Committee  started  with  bright  pros- 
pects, and  in  tne  election  of  1 875  did  all  that  its  beat 
frientU  could  have  promised  for  it,  but  in  the  follow- 
inec  year  the  nttempt,  in  the  Summer,  to  ooalesce 
with  Tammany  Hall,  and  the  numerous  conferences 
to  that  end,  and,  lastly,  their  indorsement  of  the 
Tammany  ticket,  left  them  with  no  followers,  and 
their  reorganization  this  year  under  practically  the 
same  leadership  inspires  no  confidence  In  the  sin- 
cerity of  their  motives.  ,  So  that  the  combination 
aeainst  Tammany  to  be  effective  mnst  bo  made  by 
the  indenendent  Democracy,  the  Germans,  and  tho 
Republicans.  Can  such  la  combination  be  made  1 
Or  rather,  can  such  a  combjuatlen  be  prevented  ? 
The  mistake  of  last  year,  I  think,  will  not  be  re- 
peated. There  is  crood  reason  to  believe  that  the 
Republican  Party  of  this  City  have  learned  wisdom 
hy  the  experience  of  the  past  year,  and  are  now 
ready  to  unite  for  the  qeneral  welfare.  As  for  the 
purpose  of  all  this,  the  objeet  to  be  gained,  the  ben- 
efit to  be  realized.  I  will  simply  say  that  the  control 
of  the  Board  .of  Aldermen  is  worth  all  the  trouble  of 
the  campaign.  The  President  of  the  Board  of  Al- 
dermen is  a  member  of  -the  Conmiittee  on 
Apportionment,  the  b*ard  hsa  the  confirming 
power  of  the  different  .  Commissi  onershipR, 
and  can  therefore  exercisf  an  inflmnce  for  good 
over  the  executive  affairs  of  the  City.  One  honest, 
energetic,  and  rapoble  member  of  the  Board  ofAp- 
portioument,  who  is  determined  to  abolish  sinecures. 
cut  off  purely  politifial  offices,  and  to  reduce  taxation 
witliin  reasonable  limits,  can  do  mucn  to  revi\-e  the 
waning  confidence  of  business  men  In  the  future  of 
our  City,  and  open  a  new  era  qf  prosperity  to  our 
citizens.  When  we  add  to  this  power  of  the  Board 
of  Aldermen,  the  jmwer  of  regulating  the  general 
policy  of  the  Corporation,  we  have  reason  enough  to 
make  so  earnest  an  effort,  when  succesa  will  bring 
such  advantage  to  our  tax-ridden  people.  I  havo 
referred  to  the  Republican  Partv  as  an  organization, 
because  I  have  as  yet  seen  no  reason  for  believing 
that  the  outside  committees  now  forming  will  exer- 
cise any  appreciable  in^nence  in  the  campaign.  \Ve 
have  this  year  aa  heretofore  committees  of  dissatis- 
fied politicians,  but  I  have  yet  to  find  any  organiz.v 
tion  of  the  Republican  mosses  in  this  Ci^  that  will 
create  any  disturbance  in  the  ranks.  TTie  day  is 
fortunately  past  when  a  few  wire-pullers  can  get 
together  and  control  the  politics  of  our  Mnnicipalitv. 
and  it  will  be  well'not  to  forget  that  all  the  "talk 
around  town"  that  the  Republican  Party  is  divided 
comes  from  the  Tammanv  managers,  the*  followers  of 
the  Vatican.  '  CIVIS.

I  have  just  fini^ed.  reading  the  article  on 
"Every-day  English"  in  The  Times  for  Sunday, 
July  29,  and  the  closing  words  ring  in  ray  ears  like 
an  unjust  and  ungenerous  taunt.  Being  one  of 
America's  women.  I  feel  like  speakitig  lust  a  word  or 
two  in  defense  of  the | thousands  of  cultured  women 
all  through  our  land  who  speak  the  £n</dsh  languag-' 
with  a  purity  of  utterance,  a  correctness  of  accent 
and  Inilection,  and  a  flow  of  smoothness  excelled  by 
the  women  of  no  other  nation.  I  will  allow  that  tht* 
ear  of  a  critic  mtist  be  oftentimes  affiir-ted  by  the  un- 
gramaiAtlcal  speech,  erroneous  accent  or  mLspronuu''i- 
ation  of  the  unlearned  or  careless,  but  I  do  not  con- 
cede that  the  incorrect  predominates,  or  that  the 
women  who  display  an '•inferiority  in  speech"  are 
by  any  means  in  the  majority.  Mr.  White  q,tiotes 
passages  from  Martih  ChuzzlvtaU.  an  1  then  adds  : 
"  But  this  is  no  cariuature !  I  hear  si>eech  like  thiH 
daily,  and  the  contamination  of  it  has  readied  even 
to  the  most  cultivated  social  circles."  I  think  per- 
haps there  are  a  few  cultured  circles  to  which  Mr. 
White  has  not  yet  Obtained  the  entree,  and  which 
have  escaped  the  contagion  to  whUrh  he  refers. 

Allow  me  to  quote  a  line  or  two  from  Dickons'  pro- 
face  to  .Ifarfin  ChuzzUioU:  "Thi  American  portion 
of  thisstory  is  in  no  other  respect  a  caricature  than 
it  is  an  exhibition,  fni^  the  mo5t  part,  of  a  ludicrous 
si  de,  ONLY,  (rieUt  or  wrong,  it  must  be  emphasized. 
Mr.  White, )  of  the  American  fb  aracter  :  of  that  side 
which  waa  four  and  twenty  years  ago.  from  Its  nature 
mo.Ht  obtrusive  and  most  likely  to  be  seen  by  such 
travelers  aa  yoimg  Martin  and  Mark  Taplev." 

And  who  were  they  ?  Twd  young  men  w^io,  from 
misfortune,  were  obliged  to  cross  the  ooe-ui  in  the 
steerage,  and  when  arrived  in  New- York,  to  seek  out. 
the  plainest  and  commonest  of  jrespec table  boarding- 
houses.  \\*hat  facilities  had  tlley  for  meeting  other 
than  plain,  uncultivated  men  and  women  T  And 
when  their  ill  fortune  carried  them  to  Eden.  In  that 
woeful  place  where  men  and  women,  calloused  by 
want  and  sickness  and  privation,  had  grown  careless 
of  looks  and  mannersjand  speech,  think  you  tho  indi- 
viduals there  introduced  true  specimens  of  the  re- 
fined and  cultured  of  the  land  ? 

Many  foreign  words  have  crept  Into  our  language. 
and  force  themselves  upon  the  tongue  when  that 
"unruly  member'  ^as  been  wielded  but  in  the 
smooth  fiow  of  Kn^Iteth  sounds.  X  take  It  as  no  dis- 
play of  general  iguorance  when  a  person  unac- 
?[uainted  witli  the  French  accent  or  pronunciation 
ails  to  make  "  De-Broose' from  "  Des-Brosses,"  or 
*' Tare  Hote"  from  "Terre  Haute."  The  pronunci- 
ation of  names  of  streets  and  towns  becomes  aadly 
perverted  by  car  conductors  and  brakemen,  who 
are  forced  to  give  them  some  kind  of  utterance,  per- 
chance never  navingjheard  them  correctly  rendered. 
Thus  error  leaps  from  tongue  to  tongue  and  becomes, 
for  a  preat  many  tho  accepted  form,  but  not  for  the 
inquiring  ones,  who  will  walk  all  around  a  doubt- 
ful word  before  giWng  it  questionable "  utterance.  It 
is  a  natural  instinct  for  the  unlearned  to  naturalize 
words  as  much  as  possible,  and  to  give  them  plain 
home-bred  sounds. 

It  has  been  my  fortune  to  listen  to  conversations 
between  English  and  American  women,  possessed  of 
equal  educational  advantages  and  equal  natural 
ability,  and  the  "  evenness  and  ease,"  the  correctness 
of  modulation  and  pureuess  of  tone,  I  was  proud  to 
see  was  displayed  most  noticeably  by  my  own  conn- 
trywomen.  It  is  no  foolish  vanity  that  forbid.'iour 
accepting  meekly  the  icriticism  which  we  feel  Is  unjtist. 
All  uiat  we  are  we  owe  to  our  noble  countr)*men, . 
who,  with  their  means  and  by  their  influence,  have 
placed  the  facilities  for  self -culture  and  self-improve- 
ment within  the  reach  of  all  the  young  women  in  our 
land.  And  poorly  indeed  have  werepaid  the  honor 
of  such  men  asVassar,  Durand,  Cornell.  Sage,  and  the 
noble  many  who  have  labored  for,  and  dying  pro- 
vide for,  the  advancement  and  improvement  of 
American  young  women.  Yes,  poorly  Indeed  have 
we  repaid  tneir  efforts.  If  we  merit  the  accusation  of 
showing  such  great  "  inferiority  in  speech." 

But  we  know  that  it  Is  not  meriteo,  and  trust  that 
Mr.  White,  with  the  true  chivalry  accorded  by  the 
strong  to  the  weak,  will  not  from  the  elevated  cita- 
del or  his  superior  '  wisdom,  overlook  entirely  our 
merits.  We  do  not  "parley  Fran^ais,"  neither  do 
we  "  sprecken  Deutsch,'^  but  since  we  first  began 
otir  ehildiah  prattle  at  a  mother's  knee,  English,  and 
English  only,  has  fallen  from  our  lips.  Until  the 
fiow  of  worus  caught,  not  from  bookft,  but  from 
other  lips,  animated  often  with  j^e  fervor  of  enthu- 
siasm has  become  to  us  but  the  eipreselon  of  U^ing 
thoughts  and  vivid  fancies,  and  when  the  tongue  is 
burning  to  express  these,  think  you  then  that  the 
speaker,  as  ailirmed,  "  tries  to  be  exact,"  to  be  ex- 
ceptionally correct,  to  talk  like  a  book,  to  speak 
Dictiona^  English  ?"  No,  no,  "  Language,"  u  some 
on*  has  said.  "^thesoU  ofthongittT"  and  our  own 
is  the  riebeet  of  all  sarth's  loams,  In  spite  of  the 
stray  atones  that  we  often  stumble  upon,  in  fii»  way

THE  NAnONAL  GUARD. 


THB  SQUABBLE  IN  THE  VPTEENTH   ASSEMBLY 

DISTRICT. 
To  tJu  Editor  of  (V  Xew-  York  Times  : 

In  1S71,  under  the  authority  of  the  State, 
Convention,  Republican  organization  in  the  City  of 
New- York  was  completed  and  went  into  effect.  In 
the  Fifteenth  Assembly  District  the  late  Henry 
D.  Laupaugh,  Esq.,  was  elected  President  of  the  as- 
sociation, which,  to  the  extent  of  its  membership, 
was  composed  of  the  Intelligent,  reputable  Republi- 
can citiiens  of  the  district,  and  was  acoomplislxing  all 
that  political  organimtion  may  legitimately  accom- 
plish. 

Persons  not  living  in  the  district,  having  command- 
ing inftuence  in  Republican  organization  through  the 
power  of  party  patronage,  sought  to  control 
local  action  for  selflsh  purposes,  and  being  unable  to 
do  so  while  intelligent  men  and  methods  prevailed, 
began  the  work  of  disintegrating  and  destrojing  the 
association  by  defeati'ig  Its  candidate.-*,  and 
dictating  who  should  be  its  delegates  to 
represent  it  abroad  I  In  the  conventions  of  the 
party.  This  officious  outside  meddling  interference 
in  local  matters  culminated  in  1874  in  sending  a 
committee  into  the  district  (it  was  said)  to  settle  all 
differences,  aud  hold  a  fair  primary  election.  The 
first  action  of  this  commifte"  wj»s  to 'strike  off  from 
the  roll  57  of  tlie  best-known,  substantial,  and  use- 
ful Republicans  of  the  district,  on  the  pretense  ttiat 
they  could  not  find  by  what  right  tiiey  were 
enrolled,  though  they  were  among  the  onginally 
enrolled  members  ot  the  association,  as  flxe^ 
by  authority  of  the  State  Convention.  The  next 
step  was  to  add  to  the  roll  140  nersont.  no  individual 
of  whom,  so  far  as  any  reliable  evidence  waa  con- 
cerned, ever  voted  a  Republican  ticket  in  his  life  ;  on 
the  contrary,  all  the  evidence  was  that  they  were 
rvemocrats  of  the  moet  disreputable  sort.  The  roll 
being  prepared,  the  primarv  was  ordered  at 
Muuziuger's  Hall,  in  the  Twenty-ninth  Police 
Precini-t.  though  tho  Fifteenth  r>istrict  is  exclusively 
in  the  Twentieth-  Precinct,  where  the  officers  knew 
the  citizens,  and  would  be  likely  to  see  fair  play. 
Joe  and  Mike  Cobum  with  their  forces  were  invoked, 
and  were  on  han<l.  and  about  1<X»  dog-tighten*  Hnd 
vagabonds  from  the  shuns  were  arranged  in  column, 
and  voted  and  repeated  us  often  as  they  liked,  (one  of 
them  eight  limes.)  to  the  exclusion  of  decent  Republi- 
cans who  were  still  left  on  the  roll.  Thus  the  primary 
was  carried,  and  the  assofiation  d*»livered  over  to  the 
control  of  an  ignorant,  irresponsible  rablde.  and  this 
rabble  constituted  th«  diionlerly  meetina.  in  ih** 
name  of  the  Repnbliran  Party,  noticed  in  The  TiiiE.s 
of  the  31st  of  .luly. 

In  regard  to  the  primary  election  held  last  niijht. 
and  noticed  in  all  the  daily  pajwh*  this  morning. 
there  were  more  Democrats  tlian  Republicans  al 
lowed  to  vote  ;  th*Te  was  repeating  ;  nuint>erA  of 
Republicans  of  goo<l  repute  were  not  allowed  to 
vote,  on  the  pretext  that  their  names  were  not  on 
the  roll,  though  they  were  on  the  last  time 
any  respon.^iblo  person  saw  it ;  and  others 
were  rejected  oni  account  of  being  on 
.lome  other  roll.  of.  w^ich  I  know  nothing.  Th«  Re- 
publicans of  the  district  Itnow  nothim:  of  the  merit.? 
of  the  quarrel  goin^-on  in  the  name  of  tho  party,  and 
believe  there  is  no  m-rit  in  or  about  it.  It  is  very 
unjn.st  for  the  press,  by  noticing  it,  to  give  tho  ini- 
presKion  that  the  Kepuhlirans  of  the  di.sirict  are  re- 
sponsible or  in  any  manner  connected  with  it,

CITT  AJO)  STATE — PROMPT  RESPONSE  OP 
MEN  AND  OmCERS  T<?  THB  CALL— THE 
BBEAE-DOWN  OP  GEN,  WYLIE'S  DEPART- 
MENT. 

Gen.  Shaler,  commanding  the  First  DlTirion 
ojf  the  National  Qnard  of  this  State,  has  made  his  re- 
port to  Adjt-Gen.  Townsend  of  the  movements  of 
tktops  and  general  operations  of  his  command  during 
the  period  In  which  riots  in  this  State  and  City  were 
apprehended.  It  shows  a  gratifying  promptness  and 
soldierly  spirit  on  the  part  of  the  men  and  officers, 
and  a  lamentable  break-down  and  utter  collapse  of 
the  Ordnance  and  Quartermaster's  department,  over 
TJhich  Gen.  Wylle  presides.  Gen.  Shaler  states  that 
alt  5  P.  M-  on  the  23d  tilt,  he  received  a  telegram 
from  General  Hesd-qtiarters  directing  him  to  have 
his  entire  command  In  readiness,  and  hold  them  sub- 
ject to  the  commands  of  the  Governor  of  the  State. 
Orders  were  immediately  issued  that  the  division 
assemble  at  the  armories  of  the  several  organizations 
without  delay,  such  orders  being  sent  by  messenger 
to  the  nearest  armories,  and  by  telegraph  to  the  more 
distant  ones.  The  troops  commenced  to  assemble 
immediately,  and  during  the  night  five  of  the  DHd- 
slon  Staff,  and  as  much  as  one-half  of  the  entire  divi- 
sion, bad  collected  in  their  armories.  In  some  of  the 
armories  small  details  had  previously  assembled  for 
protection  of  State  property  therein.  In  consequence 

f  the  threatening   aspect   of   affairs  In  this    City. 

t  4:30  A.  M.,  on  the  2-tth,  Gen.  Shaler  sent  out 
[rders  to  the   various  commanders  to  report  at  8 

clock  the  number  present  and  absent  In  the  several 
irganlzHtlons  of  their  respective  brigades,  and  what 

as  required  in  each  to  completely  equip  it  for  field 
service.  From  the  reports  sent  In  It  appeared  that 
of  the  First  Brigade  there  were  783  men  and  officers 
present :  of  the  Second,  1,080 ;  of  the  Third,  1,247 ; 
<^f  artillery  and  cavalry  companies,  166;  total, 
3,296. 

At  1  P.  M.  of  the  same  day  (the  24th)  Gen.  Shaler 
received  orders  from  General  Head-quarters  to  for- 
irardthe  Ninth  Regiment  to  Albany  to  report  to 
lifajoi^GeiL  J.  B.  Carr.  At  4:36  P.  M.  the  regiment 
left  the  Grand  Central  Depot  with  about  500  officers 
« nd  men,  supplied  with  40  rounds  of  ammonitlon, 
but  without  rations,  overcoats,  blankets,  haversacks, 
cr  canteens. 

Gen.  Shaler  states  that  In  the  absence  of  instruc- 
tions from  General  Head-qttarters  on  the  subject  of 
rations,  the  commanding  oflttcers  of  the  various  or- 
ganizations in  the  armories  were  instructed  verbally 
tyhimto  make  the  best  and  most  economical  ar- 
rangements practirable  for  rationing  the  men.  Burh 
arrangements  as  were  made  he  states  at  length.  The 
break -down  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department 
seems  to  hnve  be(»n  complete.  Gen.  Wylie  would  ap- 
pear from  Gen.  Shaler's  report  to  have  done  nothing 
at  all,  though  he  receives  from  the  State  a  very  good 
sailarr.  The'following  Is  the  report  upon  the  subject  : 
I  •*  Upon  the  subject  of  equipments  for  field  service, 
tfwo  visits  in  person  were  made  to  the  office  of  the 
Acting  Quartermsster-Goneral,  and  the  following cora- 
ipunications  were  addressed  to  that  officer  on  the 
morning  of  the  *J4th  :

I  l>uring  the  morning  of  the  24th  Mayor  Ely  sent  to

ernor ordering  a  di)fmt.vi.'il  of  the  organisations  under 
^ho  General's  command  before  the  evening  of  the 
next  day,  he  [Gen.  ShalcrJ  retain  under  arms  and 
ready  for  active  duty  not  less  than  three  regimeuta 
bf  infantry  and  a  batterj-  of  artillery, 
i   At  2  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  the  25th  Gen. 

halcr  received  orders  from  Albany  to  send  a  regi- 
nent  to  Buffalo,   and  in  accordance  therewith  the 

ighth  Regiment  was  detailed  for  that  duty.     Owing 

o  the  impossibility  of  obtaining  transportation  the 

t'giment  couJd  not  be  sent  off  until   10  o'clock;     At 

0:45  the  Cifhth  R<-giment  got  off  with  350  officers 

nd  men,  and  40  rounds  of  ammunition,   but  no  ra- 

ions.  .So  far  arrangements  luwi  teen  made  for  sup- 
plying raticms  to  the  men  In  their  armories  only. 
I  Vhe  H  o'elwk  report  for  the  morning  showetl  that 
tiicre  were  present  for  duty  in  tho  several  armoriew 
of  the  First  Brigade  l,15H'men  and  officers:  of  the 
kecond,  TIG;  of  the  third,  1,432;  cavalo'  and 
krtillery.  511:  total,  3.8IS.  During  the  djiy  a  oer- 
fontki  inspection  was  made  of  the  armories,  and  or- 
ders  issued  looking  to  the  protection  of  the  prop- 
erty of  regiments  ■  which  had  been  ordered  away. 
At  the  request  of  the  chief  of  onlnance,  the  Wash- 
ington Grey  Tronp  of  Cavalry  was  ordtred  to  report 
:o  him  for  guard  duty  al  2  P.  M. 

In  the  afternoon  the  President  of  the  Board  of 
['"lire  sent  a  formal  requisition  to  Gen.  .Shaler,  In- 
dorsed bv  the  Mayor,  that  the  Seventh.  Twenty-sec- 
pnd,  Eiglith.  And  'Seventy-first  regiments  be  ordered 
to  hold  thetuselves  in  readiness  to  obey  the  orders  of 
the  board,  as  trouble  ~ was  apprehended  from  the 
meeting  wlilch  was  to  be  held  In  the  evening  at 
jTompkins-square.  Gen.  Shaler  replied  that  the 
regiments  were  in  readiness  at  their  armories,  except 
the  Eighth,  sent  to  Buffalo,  and  for  that  he  aubsti- 
tuted  the  Twelfth  Regiment.  Owing  to  the  danger 
which  was  threatenen  of  a  disturbance  during  the 
Dight,  it  was  deemed  best  to  distribute  a  supply  of 
immunition  to  troops  in  quarters,  and  20  rounds  per 
man  were  accordingly  issued  to  the  infantrv  and 
ravalry,  and  10  rounds  per  gun  to  the  artillery. 
But  at  10:10  P.  M.  tho  President  of  the  Board  of 
police  telegraphed  that  the  meeting  had  dispersed 
and  no  serious  disturbance  had  taken  place,  and  a 
;hort  time  after,  that  the  troops  need  not  be  longer 
kept  np. 

On  the  morning  of  the  26th.  thotigh  all  danger- of 
serious  di-sturbunces  seemed  to  have  passed.  It  was 
deemed  wise  to  keep  the  regiments  named-  on  duty.-; 
jready  to  respond  to  any  call  which  the  Police  Board 
might  make  upon  them.  Next  day  (the  27th)  the 
Board  did  not  think  it  necessary  to  keep  them  on 
fluty  any  longer,*  afid  so  notified  Gfen.  Shale**,  at  tho 
jtame  time  conveying  the  cardial  thanks  of  the  board 
to  the  regiments.  At  midday  on  the  2"th,  through 
the  courtesy  of  the  Department  of  Public  Works,  the 
isxelusive  use  of  the  free  baths  of  the  City  were 
iendered  to  the  meml>ers  of  the  division  from  4  P.  M. 
bf  that  day  until  midnizht.  Assignments  were  at 
jonce  made  and  hours  designated  for  their  use  by  each 
organization.  The  men  very  generally  availed 
themselves  of  the  privil^e  and  were  much 
refreshed  thereby.  At  9:45  P.  M.  orders  from  Gen- 
ieral  Head-quarters  directing  tho  dLsmissal  of  the 
troops  were  received  by  telegraph,  and  the  command- 
ing officers  were  immediately  notified  and  ordered  to 
[return  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  the  ammunition  re- 
cently issued.  On  the  28th  the  Ninfh  Regiment 
ifrom  Albany  arrived  back  and  wore  dismissed.  On  .

I  Gen.  Shaler.  after  thanking  the  various  officers  of 
the  division  for  their  prompt  response  to  the  call  of 
duty,  concludes  his  report  with  the  foUowing  sug- 
gestions : 

"  Permit  mo  In  dosing  tlds  report  to  Invite  your  atten- 
tion to  what  must  be  considered  by  every  officer  of  ex- 
perience an  imperative  need  to  the  KutlonaJ  Guard  of

"  The  cost  of  keeping  on  hand,  ready  for  tsmie  at  an 
hotu''s  notice,  wool  blanketa,  haver^ai'ks  and  canteens, 
would  be  quite  Inconsiderable  compared  to  the  losses 
which  might  ensue  tn  case  of  riot,  if  the  movement  of 
troops  were  delaye<i  to  procure  an  outflt.

Camp  on  the  Custzb  Battle-tield.  on  the  > 
I         Little  Big  Horn,  July  21.     ] 

Gen.  Sheridan  And  party,  with  fotir  companies 
of  the  ITfth  Cavklry,  left,  camp  on  Tongue  River  the 
19tb  inst,,  arriving  in  camp  here  this  morning.  Tour 
correspondent.  Arriving  the  eveulngprevibtts,  pitched 
hia  solitary  tent  j  (consisting  of  rubber  coat  and  saddle- 
blanketa)  at  the  jaite  of  Crazy  Horse's  Village,  being 
the  first  reochedi  of  the  series  of  Indian  villages  as 
one  approaches  joina  down  stream  ;  hence  being  the 
village  charged  by  Major  Reno  with  his  detachment 
ofthe  Seventh  Cavalry  that  memorable  June  day  in 
187G. 

Leaving  Tongtie  River,  the  trail  led  along  the  base 
of  the  mountains  until  Little  Big  Horn  ^ver  was 
reached,  when  the  river  waa  followed  to  the  scene  of 
encounter.  The  country  en  route  was  of  tho  same 
general  character  as  that  from  Clear  Creek  to  the 
Tongue  River,  being  of  tho  finest  description  for 
stock.  The  distance  was  estimated  at  60  miles. 
Most  of  the  way  the  grass  was  fresh  and  bright  as  in 
Spring,  and  from  two  to  four  feet  high.  This,  of 
eourse.  was  along  the  valley  through  which  the  river 
runs.  On  the  northerly  side  the  plain  was  very  high 
and  rolling,  where  the  grass,  although  not  so  t^Ul. 
was  yet  better  for  stock,  while  further  back,  beyond 
this  high  prairie,  is  a  strip  between  the  Little  Big 
Horn  and  Tongue  Rivers,  mtich  like  the  Bad 
Lands.  The  country  on  the  southerly  .side  for 
many  miles  is  of  the  same  general  description,  bnt 
ijotter  in  quality.  This  country  on  both  sides  of  the 
river  is  8upei^>1y  watered  by  numerous  small 
streams,  tributaries  of  the  Little  Big  Horn.  Out  of 
these  semi-bad  ;  binds,  on  the  northerly  side  of  the 
river,  rise  the  Wolf  Mountains,  about  the  mineral 
character  ot  which  so  much  hns  been  said.  These 
so-called  mountains  are  tmworthy  the  name,  being 
simply  hills,  fr^m  300  to  600  feet  in  height,  the 
composition  of  which  is  generally  of  the  same  char- 
Mter  M  the  surroundinp  plain— that  is.  red  earth, 
flay,  and  sandstone.  This  formation  is  generally  re- 
garded as  antagonistic  to  gold  deposits,  and  it  is  en- 
tirely safe  to  say  that  these  mountains  are  no  excep- 
tion to  the  general  rule. 

It  will  be  remembered  that  it  was  to  these  moun- 
tains (so  called)  thht  the  famous  stampede  was  made 
from  Deadwood  last  Winter,  in  which  so  many  lost 
their  lives  from  exposure.  In  truth,  it  is  now  set- 
tled that  the  reports  of  gold  therein  in  cii-culation, 
and  which  caused  ithe  stampede,  originated  with  the 
stock  dealers  of  Deadwood  City.  Black  Hills,  there 
being  required  fpr  such  purposes  much  stock,  and  a 
demand,  of  course,  catising  a  ready  and  high  market. 
This  was  especially  desirable  in  the  Black  Hills  at 
tliat  time,  as  stock  was  a  drug  on  the  market,  and 
grain  10  centa  per  pound,  and  bay  $120  per  ton. 

I  liavo  to-day  Kone  cAfnlly  over  the  scene  of  the 
Reno  defeat  anq  CuJiter  massacre  in  company  with  a 
Sioux  warrior  who  took  an  active  part  in  both— 
"War  Club"  by  name.  Tho  Indian  villages  at- 
tacked were  seven  In  number,  with  Cmzy  Horse  and 
hia  Sintix  on  tho  upper  side  of  the  semicircle  in 
which  they  were  placed,  and  the  Cheyennes  on  the 
V^^  ■'<ie.  ^th  the  Uncpapas  next,  then  comlne 
the  Sans- Arcs  and, Minneconjona  next  in  the  row — 
tho  semicircle  of  which  conformed  to  the  bend  in  the 
river  at  that  pohit;  and  being  close  to  the  trunk  of 
the  river-  Major  Reno  charyed  the  village  of 
Crazy  Horse  from  above,  whDe  Gen.  Custer  was 
to  have  charged  the  Cheyennes  at  the  other  end; 
but  before  the  ford  was  reached,  he  being  on  tho 
other  side  from  tho  village,  Crazy  Hbrse  had  Major 
Reno  whipped  and  corraled  in  the  high  hills  oppot«Ue, 
when  the  entire  force  attacked  Custer  with  the  sad 
result  too  well  known.  To-day  a  detail  of  14  men 
from  each  company  waa  made  to  bury  the  dead— the 
dead  comrades  of  Gena.  Terry  and  Gibbon  and  Major 
Reno — this  belne  the  third  attempt  to  consign  all 
that  was  \^St  of  them  to  their  last  sad.  homely  restuig- 
place.  It  required  the  evldenco  of  my  own  senses 
to  believe  this  true,  and  I  do  not  regard  it  as  In 
nny  measure  my  duty  to  suppress  this  sad  tale. 
The  officers  who  jwrmitted  this  should  bo  taught, 
by  the  aroused  civUued  sentiment  of  the  land,  that 
such  conduct  will  not  be  permitted  to  go  unnoticed 
and  uucondemne<l,  If  their  own  human  and  soldierly 
Instincts  are  not  sufficient  to  spur  them  to  a  different 
courhe.  Let  it  be  remembered  that  Gens.  Terrv-  and 
Gibhnn  marched  frrn^i  the  field  with  1,700  men.  and 
tho  Indiana  had  retreated— no  foe  was  in  their  front. 


TBE  MEETING  AT  OCEAN  GROVE. 


SECOND  DAT  OF  THE  TOUNO  PEOPLE'S  CHRIS- 
TIAN CONVENTION — LARGE  ATTENDANCE. 

The  second  day's  proceedings  of  the  Young 
People's  Christian  Convention,  at  Ocean  Grove,  yes- 
terday, was  more  largely  attended  than  the  first  day. 
A  large  number  of  delegates  from  Western  cities 
were  present.  A  faith-meeting  waa  held  at  0  o'clock 
in  the  Tabernacle,  and  was  presided  over  by  Thomas 
Ha^TS,  of  Boston.  After  several  appeals  foe 
prayer,  Mr.  Hanis  read  a  portion  of  the  116th 
Psalm.  Short  speeches  were  made  by  J.  Morris, 
of  Poughkeepsle  [  B.  B.  Chamberlln,  of  Syracuse ; 
Dr.  "Ward,  of  Xewnrk  ;  Rev.  J.  Simmons,  of  Brook- 
lyn, and  Mr.  Brinn,  of  Troy,  the  meeting  closing 
with  player  by  Rev.  E.  H.  Stokes  and  Rev.  Dr. 
Hughes,  of  Philadelphia.  At  10:30  o'clock  the  regu- 
lar session  was  opened  with  singing  and  prayer  by 
Rov.  Dr.  Simmons,  tho  meeting  being  presided  over  by 
George  A.  Hall,  State  Secretary  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  As«>clation  of  New- York.  He  read 
a  poTTion  of  the  twenty-fifth  chapter  of  St. 
Matthew,  commencing  at  the  fourteenth  verse, 
the  audience  reading  every  alternate  verse.  Rev.  Dr. 
Miller  then  addressed  the  meeting  on  whst  consti- 
tutes tho  work  for  young  people,  how  they  should 
work,  and  tho  several  fields  that  lay  open  to  them. 
He  claimed  that  the  young  people  could  do  more  in 
the  Church  of  God  than  old  persons ;  they 
had  the  strength  and  wero  the  leading  spirit. 
He  hsd  only  to  ask  them  to  see  how  many  young 
men  stood  at  the  bead  of  the  Methodist  Church  ; 
look  at  tho  number  of  young  ministers,  and  ask 
themselves  why.  Beeanse,  he  said,  they  can  do  bet- 
ter service.  Tho  very  first  thing  that  vouni; 
people  should  do  is'  to  bo  natural.  *Some 
young  people  when  thev  get  religion  retire,  as  it 
were,  from  their  usual  Hfeiike  way  This  was  wrong. 
They  should  be  as  livelv  as  ever.  'W  they  were  fond 
of  playing  hall  before  tnoy  received  the  blessing  of 
God,  they  should  be  afterward.  If  they  were  natural 
they  would  bo  able  to  accomplish  'much.  There 
should  be  no  "old  fogyism."  Nothing  was  mnre 
important  than  young  people's  meetings  in  the 
church.  They  should  establish  meetings  tn  the  old 
difitrict  school-house,  tents,  nnd  field -meetings.  Per  . 
sonal  effort  was  another  important  duty  ;  relleious 
letter-writing,  silent  prayer,  and  such  like,  should  be 
the  young  people's  duty.  At  the  conclusion  of  Mr. 
Miller's  remaras,  the  congregation  were  asked  to 
make  Boggefitions  as  to  how  the  work  should  be 
carried  on.  One  said  "by  untiring  consecration." 
another,  "thesendlng  of  tracts."  others  "temper- 
ance aid  and  thus  win  souls ;"  "  requcrt  them  toread 
tracts  and  give  their  opinion,"  "the  study  of  the 
Bible."  "circulating  of  good  works,"  "speclnjwork 
fer  speelftl  classes. '  "tfie  temperance  cause."  '"la- 
bor among  the  young."  "visitinc  the  Rick  in  afflic- 
tion," "drilling  them  in  praver."  "makiim  them 
ushers  at  meetings."  Prof.  "\ViUiam  GTpischer 
closed  by  Ringing  "Here  am  I :  send  me." 
An  "  exT»erien<«  meeting"'  was  held  in  the  afternoon, 
Mr.  Hall  presiding.  After  sbiging  "  Nothinsc  but 
Leaves,"  apas^xe  of  Scripture  from  the  eleventh 
chapter  of  St.  Mark  wan  read,  which  was  followed  bv 
an  appeal  for  true  belief  in  desire,  prayer,  and  faith*. 
Short  experiences  were  delivered  by  Rev.  Dr.  Stokes, 
Mr.  Hall,  Rev.  Mr.  Hughes,  and  o'thers.  after  which 
themeeting  was  adjourned.  The  evening  exercises 
consisted  of  a  regular  "prayer  and  promise  meet- 
ing. "  a  large  ntunber  seeking  the  altar  for  nraycr  and 
salvation. 

The  Young  People's  Camp  Jfeeting.  under  the 
auspices  of  thejYoung  Mens  Christian  Association  of 
the  several  Extern  States,  was  culminated  in  a 
grand  revival  meeting  last  night.  At  the  evening 
meeting  in  the  grand  pavUton.  by  Thomas 
Harrison,  the  young  Evangelist,  about  3,000 
young  persons  wero  present.  Prayers  were 
offered  by  Rev.  W.  E.  Randolph,  of  Wisconsin,  and 
Rev.  Gooige  Hughes.  Exhortations  were  made  by 
Rev.  J.  SymonR.    Kev.  D^   R.  Lowrie   orought  the 

Seetinga  ef  the  Young  People's  meeting  at 
enville,  H".  J.  After  the  sincclng  of 
"Jesus,  Saviour  of  My  Soul,"  tho  young 
ovangeHst  addressed  the  vast  congregation 
nufoldiug  the  manifold  power  of  Christ,  arid  urging 
those  present  who  felt  the  need  of  tho  all-saving 
power  to  come  and  kneel  at  the  altar.  His  appe  u 
affected  all  within  ,  the  sound  of  his  voice, 
and  in  a  |  few  moments  tho  altar  rail 
was  crowded  with  supplicants  at  the  throne 
of  grace.  The  meeting  promises  to  be 
one  of  the  greatest  revivals  ever  held  at  Ocean 
Grove.  Among  tho  active  workers  present  were 
Rev.  George  Hughes,  Rev.  George  A.  Hall.  Rev.  E. 
H.  Stokes,  W.  Peck  Smith.  Rev.  J.  C.  Cowan,  of 
Jersey  City,  and  othora.  Th^^eetlng  was  closed  by 
prayer  and  benediction  by  WiHiam  P.  Corbett.

There  were    several  brilliant    and    ©flfective 
speeches  delivered  at  tho   Ohio   Republican  State 
Convention  in  Cleveland  on  Wednesday.    Tho  lead- 
ing points  of  the  remarks  of  Gen.  C.  H.  Grosvenor. 
the  temporary  Chairman,  were  well  set  forth  In  our 
special  telegrams.    First,  therefore,  to  be  especially 
noted  in  this  issue  is  the  address  of  Gen.   James  A. 
Garfield  on  taking  the  chair  as  permanent  Chairman 
of  the  conventioiL     He  is  thtis  reported  by  the 
Leader  .■ 

GEN.    OARPIELD'S    SPEECH. 

Let  roe  say  that  nothing  Is  m.ore  marked  in  the 
differencoB  between  tho  great  political  parties  than 
this :  that  the  Republican  Party  represents  in  its 
conventions  its  best  thoughts  and  the  best  thoughts, 
as  I  believe,  of  tho  nation.  It  is  a  peculiarity  of  our 
political  enemies  that  for  many  years  they  have  been 
governed  by  the  most  violent  elements  of  their  party. 
The  violent  reactionary  elements  of  the  Democrats 
have  commended  their  policy  and  dictated  their 
opinions  for  many  years  in  tho  pa.st.  In  the  days 
of  secession  tho  most  violent  of  that  party  led  and 
dragooned  behind  them  all  the  better  elements  and 
brought  their  party  into  line  after  its  worst  thoughts. 
It  was  so  in  the  days  of  recon.struction  ;  it  has  been 
80  ever  since,  and  It  vras;  markedly  so  one  week  ago 
to-day,  when  the  Democratic  Party,  representing  the 
Stat©  of  Ohio,  met  at  a  time  when  a  great  and  new 
peril  threatened  our  people — a  peril  peculiar  and 
alarminff  in  its  character ;  a  peril  that  paralyzed  the 
great  industries  of  the  nation  by  stopping  all  labor 
everywhere  in  Its  processes,  And  that  convention, 
instead  of  speaking  one  brave  word  In  favor  of  law 
and  order  and  tlie  rights  of  labor,  and  the  rights  of 
the  people  under  the  law.  commenced  by  ignoring  in 
the  most  cowardly  manner  the  ^reat'  danger,  and 
dared  to  insinuate  that  all  tho  evils  that  havo  fallen 
on  this  country  had  fallen  upon  it  because  of  the  Re- 
publican Party. 

They  dared  to  talk  of  the  pauperization  of  labor  as 
the  cause  of  the  great  strike.  They  talk  of  the  pau- 
perization of  labor,  who  for  50  mortal  years  have 
done  all  in  their  power  to  put  one-fifth  of  the  laborers 
of  America  under  chains,  and  buy  them,  sell  them, 
whip  them,  scourge  them  at  the  will  of  capi- 
talists, [great  applause.]  a  policy  that  degraded  labor 
everywhere.  And  then,  after  prating  about  the  pau- 
perization of  labor,  in  tho  same  breath  thev  demand 
a  repeal  of  all  laws  that  the  RcpubUcan  Party  have 
enacted  to  protect'  labor  in  this  country  by  giving  to 
our  laoorers  a  fair  chance  torcompele  in  the  markets 
of  the  world  with  the  labor  of  the  Old  World.  I  no- 
tice that  as  au  Instance  of  the  worst  and  most  violent 
element  of  the  Democratic  Party.  ffiii(lini»  its  counsels 
and  moldina  its  policy,  and  they  have  done  more.  In 
the  same  platform,  only  a  week  ago  lo-day,  they  uuder- 
look  to  shake  the  solid  foundations  of  our  pubUc  peace 
by  poisoning.  If  they  could,  the  very  fountain  of  our 
political  power,  by  asserting  that  our  Chief  ISiagis- 
trate,  the  man  of  our  choice,  was  fraudulently  inaug- 
urated, and  attempted  to  throw  a  cloud  of  doubt 
upon  his  title  to  be  President  of  the  United  States. 
\\  ith  what  crace  do  they  say  that !  They  who  sought 
by  every  means  that  all  the  worst  elements  of  Ameri- 
can society  could  produce  to  cany  their  man  Into 
power,  and  when  they  saw  they  were  going  to  fail, 
sought,  by  "the  use  of  money  in  *s  distant  Stite. 
to  buy  a  Presidential  Elector,  and  thus  purchase  for 
gold  the  highest  office  In  the  gift  of  the  Republic, 
Failing  in  that,  they  sought  to  prevent  the  counting 
ofthe  Electoral  vote  in  accordance  ■with  the  Consti- 
tution and  laws  of  the  Republic,  and  threatened  ci\-il 
war  if  the  count  should  proceed  in  an  orderly 
manner. 

In  order  to  prevent  that  war  a  special  tribunal  was 
pro\-ided  to  determine  the  great  questions  of  consti- 
tutional law  that  arose  on  that  Kuoiect,  and  although 
as  honorable  men  they  were  bound  to  stand  by  the 
result  of  that  tribunal,  when  that  result  wa.s  an- 
nounced the  most  violent  element  of  the  party  deter- 
mined, finding  the  result  of  that  tribunal  would  bo 
unfavornbie  to  them,  that  no  President  should  be 
inaugurated  ;  that  chaos  should  come  in  place  of 
onier.  and  violence  and  anarchy  in  this  Centennial 
year  of  our  historj-.  And  I  take  this  occasion  to  say 
b*fTe  that  immortal  honor  Is  due  to  the  40  men  who 
fought  in  arms  against  us,  rebels  as  they  were  once, 
who  broke  from  the  solid  ranks  of  the  Northern 
Democratic  le'adcrs  and  said  that  faith  should  be 
kept  and  the  count  should  be  completed,  and  the 
President  should  be  inaugurated,  whether  it  was  the 
man  of  their  choice  or  not. 

I  take  this  occasion  to  say  in  the  heart  of  this  old 
AboUtion  Reserve  that  no  'true  American  will  ever 
forget  the  honor  due  to  those  Southern  men  who 
helped  thus  to  save  the  country  i^ainst  their  North- 
em  Democratic  leaders.  N  ow.  gentlemen,  over 
against  this  rule  of  tho  worst,  the  old  Republican 
Party  again  steps  to  the  front  to  take  its  place  in  the 
line  of  great  action.  It  comes  before  the  country 
with  21  years  of  honorable  history  behind  it :  ft 
comes  before  the  country  with  tradition  and  achieve- 
ments of  which  it  is  proud  ;  proud  that  it  dared  to 
face  rebellion  ana  war.  and  that  It  dared  to 
go  to  the  bottom  and  to  pluck  out  by  tho  roots  the 
guilty  cause  of  rebellion  and  war.  and  to  say  that  all 
men  should  be  free  ;  proud  that  it  dared  to  build  up 
and  reonranize  the  Republic  on  the  btusls  of  equal 
ri2;hts,  civil  and  political,  to  all  men  without  regard 
to  race  or  color — proud  of  all  these  achievements. 
Ready  to  have  done  its  duty  in  the  days  of  war.  now 
equallv  ready  to  do  its  duty  in  the  days  of  peace.  I 
am  glad  to  say  that  the  Republican  Party  is  not  a 
party  that  is  guided  by  the  waKe  behind  its  craft. 
but  It  prefers  to  stand  on  the^bow  of  its  ship  and 
gtiide  its  course  by  the  great  interests  of  the  nation 
as  they  arise.  Because  we  once  led  in  war  ;  because 
we  learned  militarj*  methods  and  pursued  them 
courageously,  we  do  not  need  always  to  bo  in 
arms  and  pursue  military  methods.  The  Re- 
publican Party  is  able,  when  it  comes  where  the 
roads  fork  and  sees  the  way  the  new  interests  of 
the  nation  require  it.  to  see  that  the  time 
ought  to  come  when  all  the  military  methods  of  war 
are  to  be  folded  like  a  proud  old  banner  that  has  done 
its  dtity  in  the  fight,  and  to  enter  ui>on  the  processes 
of  peace ;  and  those  processes  are  to  remit  all  the 
•States.  North  and  South,  to  the  equal  right  of  self- 
government.  We  hold  the  equal  rights  of  citizens 
bofore  the  law ;  we  equally  hold  the  rights  of  the 
Stat«a  before  the  Constitution  and  the  laws,  and 
when  we  remit  those  States  to  their  own  self-govern- 
ment, however  badly  they  may  behave  in  their  local 
concerns,  we  do  not  any  the  less  hold  to  all  the  great 
sanctions  or  principles  that  were  adopted  when  we 
made  the  amendments  to  tho  Constitution.  We  do 
not  propose  to  lay  down  any  one  of  them,  or  to  in- 
vade the  right  of  any  State. 

Now.  I  doRire  to  say  witb  no  reserves  that  I  am 
-glad  that  our  own  chosen  chief  of  the  nation,  out  of 
our  own  State,  from  among  us,  has  had  the  courage 
to  see  the  epoch  in  which  he  lives,  and  dared  to  do 
what  be  believed  the  interests  of  the  nation  require. 
You  must  not  expect  of  him— because  he  Is  human— 
that  every  act  of  his  will  accord  with  all  your  opin- 
ions or  rame.  I  do  not  ask  thXt  of  any  Pi-esident, 
nor  do  I  say  it  in  advance  nor  afterward  for  any  man 
that  has  ever  lived  :  but  I  do  say  that  bis  heart  beats 
In  its  old  place — a  Republican,  with  the  love  of  his 
countr>'  in  his  heart ;  and  it  is  our  duty  to  see  that 
he  Is  fairly,  independently,  and  earnestly  supported 
in  the  struggle  he  is  carrying  on  in  the  nation. 

I  have  but  another  word  to  say.  In  these  days  of 
political  cowardice  the  very  gods  look  down  in  ad- 
miration upon  a  man  or  a  party  that  has  the  courage 
of  its  opinion  and  dares  to  ran  the  risk  of  dying  for 
the  sake  of  beinr  right.  We  have  spoken  as' a  great 
National  Republican  Party  only  12  months  ago. 
Those  words  of  ours  are  on  record.  We  have  spoken 
for  honest  ballots,  for  honest  money,  for  honest 
finances,  and  for  the  public  faith  ;  and  I  trust  that  all 
we  shall  say  to-day  will'  be  in-  the  line  of  all  those 
great  truths  that  we  have  pledged  our  support  to  in 
the  past.  tApplause.J  Detaining  you  with  but  an- 
other word,  1  asra^n  thank  you  fur  the  honor  you 
have  aoon  fit  to  tender  me.  and  express  my  gratifica- 
tion of  feeling  at  l>eing  one  of  this  great  company  of 
worthy  Repuolicans.  I  assume  the  duties  of 'the 
chair,  and  ask  that  the  order  of  business  be  given 
me. 

JUDGE  west's  acceptance. 

After  his  nomination  for  Governor,  Hon.  William 
H.  West  was  introduced,  and  warmly  expressed  his 
thanks  for  the  honor  thus  conferred  and  the  hearty 
greeting  extended  to  him.  Ho  also  said:  "I  have  not 
had  an  opportunity  toread  the  platform  of  principles 
put  forth.  The  substance,  however,  has  been  stated. 
So  far  as  I  understand  them,  X  most  cordially  and 
heartily  approve  of  its  sentiments.  I  desire,  there- 
fore, to  say  that  in  so  far  aa  in  me  lies  the  ability,  I 
shall  give  to  otur  present  Administration  an  honest 
and  fair  trial  and  a  thorough  teat.  [Applause.]  A 
house^  divided  against  itself  cannot  stand.  Unless 
America  shall  be  reconciled  and  pacified  our  Republic 
is  no  more.  [Applause.]  While  I  cling  to  the  right 
of  Federal  intervention  to  enforce  the  constitutional 
guarantees  of  liberty,  justice,  and  protection,  I  prefer 
that  the  several  States  may  themselves  so  en- 
force in  good  faith  these  great  guarantees  that 
no  occasion  for  Federal  intervention  may  arise. 
Touching  the  question  of  the  currency  I  shall  not 
pause  at  this  time  to  speak.  It  is  too  complicated 
and  too  vast.  I  have  no  doubt  tho  committee  have 
done  wisely  and  done  well.  No  contraction,  no  ex- 
pansion, no  depreciation,  is  my  motto.  [Great  ap- 
plause.] [How  about  the  school  question  I  asked  a 
voice.]  My  friend  calls  my  attention  to  the  school 
question.  My  motto  upon  that  Is,  No  division  of  the 
school  fund.  [Applause.]  No  support  of  sectarian 
or  parochial  schools  by  public  taxation.  [Applause.  ] 
No  alliance  between  Church  and  State.  No  encroach- 
ment of  either  upon  the  domain  of  the  other.  T^e 
proprieties  of  tho  occasion  admonish  mo  that  I  should 
not  BX>eak  at  length,  for  if  I  should  branch  out  I  might 
attempt  to  indulge  In  eulogv  upon  the  RepubUcan 
Party.  It  needs  no  oulorar.  If  1  am  to  attempt  such 
a  thing,  I  should  only  point  to  the  monument  pre- 
served by  the  energies  and  conflicts  of  that  glorious 
organization.  I  would  point  to  the  colossal  goddess 
tfurmounting  the  dome  of  our  temple  and  holding 
aloft  that  noble  ensign  that  has  floated  over  so  many 
fields  in  triumph  without  a  star  dimmed  or  stripe 
erased.  [Applause.]  I  would  point  to  the  motmtam 
of  shackles  stricken  from  the  limbs  of  5,000.000  of 
men  [applause]  over  whom  200  years  of  bondi^  had 
rolled,  who  now,  by  the  intervention  of  the  Kepub-

Stand  forth  redeemed.  regenenuM,  disenthralled. 
[Applause.]  I  would  point  to  that  noble  Constitu-

SENATOR  STANLST  UATTHEWB*  SPKXOB. 

The  principal  speech  at  the  ratifloatioB  mMtinf  tm 
the  evening  was  made  by  Hon.  Stanley  Matthews, 
United  States  Senator  from  Ohio,  who  expressed 
himself  very  freely  upon  several  topics — upon  soxao 
in  a  manner  not  calculated  to  win  t|ie  indorsement 
of  cool-headed  Republicans,  who  care  mon  for  tho 
welfare  of  the  country  and  the  honor  of  tho  party  than 
for  mere  temporary  advantages  or  political  trinmphs. 
Among  other  things,  he  said : 

Personally,  it  gives  me  infinite  satisfaction  to  re- 
call what  the  convention  of  to-day  has  said  and  em- 
phasized by  its  nominations.  In'the  first  place,  gen- 
tlemen, we  have  an  illustration  in  the  present  action 
of  the  convention  itself  of  the  practical  workings  of 
the  ideas  which  have  been  put  forth  within  the  past 
year  as  the  ideal  of  civil  service  reform.  We 
have  had  to-day,  gentlemen,  in  this  goodly 
State,  a  representative  body  con^sting  of 
661  delegates,  coming  from  remote  parta  of  the  State 
at  their  own  expense,  not  one  of  whom  was  a  Federal 
office-holder,  and  yet  there  never  was  a  fuller  or  a 
better  representation,  or  a  more  enthuslsstic  interest 
manifested  than  was  shown  tCMlay  by  tho  delegates 
who  were  the  memltera  of  this  convention.  I  ven- 
ture to  say.  without  disparagement  to  any  of  its 
predecessors,  either  of  its  own  i>arty  or  of  the  op- 
posing party,  that  there  never  was  assembled  In  a 
politioal  convention  a  bodv  of  661  members  more  In- 
telligent more  senfelble  of  the  re.sponsihilities  tinder 
which  they  acted,  more  patriotic  and  more  intent  on 
the  public  good  than  that  body  which  is  still  In  ses- 
sion to-night. 

THE  CAN-I>n>ATE. 

Now,  my  friends,  let  me  say  a  word  about  the  can- 
didates. There  has  been  presented  to  the  public  of 
the  State  of  Ohio  for  their  sufl^age  as  a  candidate  for 
Governor  the  name  of*WiIliam  H.  West,  of  Bellefon- 
talne.  [Applause.]  I  wish  you  all  knew  him  as  ho 
ought  to  be  known.  I  wish  you  all  knew  him  as  I 
know  him — a  man  without  fear  and  without  re- 
proach, a  man  above  temptation,  incorruptible  in  In- 
tegrity, with  Right  as  keen  for  tho  truth  in  thottght 
a.s  his  vision  is  imperfect  for  material  things  ;  and  a 
heart  that  throbs  with*  every  honest  and  generous 
impulse  that  belongs  to  the  best  quality  of  human  na- 
ture. 

THE  PLATFORM. 

Allow  me  to  say  a  few  things  upon  tho  platform 
and  principles  which  are  announced  by  the'Bepabli- 
can  Party.  I  shall  not  detain  you  by  going  into  de- 
tails for  the  purpose  of  considering  Item  by  item  the 
several  propositions  which  are  contained  in  its  enun- 
ciation of  doctrine.  There  are  two  or  three  which 
are  prominent  and  principal,  and  which  I  shall  not 
more  than  sufaciently  discuss  for  the  time  being.  In 
the  first  place,  allow  me  to  say  that  this  convention, 
in  vissw  of  the  facts  connected  with  the  promises  by 
the  present  Administration  of  the  difficulties 
which  existed  In  some  of  the  Southern  States 
has  seen  fit  to  announce  its  entire  con- 
fidence in  the  wisdom  and  patriotism  of 
the  President,  and  its  support  and  approval 
of  his  policy  and  efforts  to  pacify  the  entire  country. 
Now  I  do  not  believe  in  the  doctrine,  since  slavery 
has  been  abolished,  since  all  cause  of  soctlonal 
trouble  has  been  removed,  that  there  is  any  reason 
why  there  should  exist  in  this  country  any  more  par- 
ries drawn  on  sectional  lines  or  drawn  on  lines 
based  upon  color.  I  believe  that  Instead  of  that  the 
sound  and  wholesome  condition  of  things  in  party 
aspect  would  be.  instead  of  having  a  party  line  frovci 
the  East  to  the  West,  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific, 
drawn  along  the  line  that  makes  the  boundary  be- 
tween the  free  and  slave  States.  Mason  &  Dixon's 
IJne,  and  that  we  ought  to  have  the  line  of  parties 
run  the  other  way — ^run  North  and  Sotith,  dividing 
every  State,  dividing  «  the  white  people,  di- 
viding the  black  people.  according  to 
their  reason,  their  judgment,  their  intelli- 
gence, each  man  voting  according  to  his  own  Inde- 
pendent judgment,  without  fear,  favor,  or  intimida- 
tion, or  any  other  control,  separating  not  upon  a 
rare  line,  not  upon  a  line  of  religion,  not  upon  an 
accidental  line,  but  fumply  dividing  the  South,  differ- 
ing in  their  reason  and  their  judgment — fa  Voice. 
'■  Good."] — a  national  party  in  everv  State,  to  which 
shall  belong  both  white  and  black,  ^here  has  been  a 
doctrine  preached  recently  about  which  I  desire  upon 
this  first  public  occasion,  where  I  have  the  oppor- 
tunity, to  prote^^t  against,  that  there  is  a  necessary 
and  a  radica'  difference  between  the  people  of  the 
North  and  the  people  of  the  South.  I  do  not  believe 
it.  I  believe  that  since  slavery  has  been  abolished 
that  we  are,  and  of  right  ought  to  be.  a  homogeneous 
people,  divided  in  Louisiana,  and  in  MisEissii)pi,  and 
in  Alabama,  in  Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  iust  as  we 
are  divided  in  Ohio,  and  in  the  other  free  States, 
upon  questions  of  public  policy  affecting  the  State 
and  the  National  Govemmeats,  and  that  Is  the  se- 
curity which  we  have  for  the  right  of  a  white  man. 
and  the  right  of  the  Mack  man,  and  the  right  of  all 
men.  for  it  is  the  natural  government  of  a  free  peo- 
ple by  themselves. 

MORS  SILVER    DOLULRS. 


I  hasten  on  to  a  topic  that  I  know  engages  your 
thotights  more  than  any  great  party  question.      I 

recognize,  my  friends,  most  seriously  and  most  care-  'j'  speak  to  the  people  of  Ohio,  I  epeak  to  the  Ameorieaa 

What  have  tho  Democrats  ever  doa*  foi 


fully,  the  presence  of  a  condirion  of  things  altogether 
unexampled  in  the  history  of  the  civilized  world ;  one 
that  striKes  me  with  awe ;  that  makes  me  feel  that 
we  are  in  the  presence  of  a  superior  power  ;  that  we 
are  not  altogether  in  our  own  nands  ;  that  we  are,  in 
fact,  charged  a  deep  and  solemn  responsibility  for  the 
solution  of  great  questions  of  social  Interest,  affect- 
ing your  happiness  and  mine,  affecting  vour  subsis- 
tence., your  right  to  earn  your  daily  bread  ;  afiTecting 
the  whole  labor  and  industrial  system  of  this  coun- 
trj-.  [A  voice,  "  A  dollar  a  day  won't  get  it  for  us.'] 
That  depends  upon  how  big  it  Is.  If  it  was  one  of 
those  old  dollars  like  that  [showing  silver  dollar]  [a 
voice.  "  Throw  it  over  here.'']  It  is  the  only  one  I 
have,  and  I  am  going  to  keep  that  for  a  nest- 
egg.  I  cannot  givo  yon  this  one.  but  I  am  in 
favor  of  coining  so  many  .of  them  that  you 
shall  have  one,  too.  [Applause.]  More  than  that, 
my  friends,  I  am  in  favor  of  bringing  about  such  a 
condition  of  things  as  you  can.  as  I  know  yon  want 
to,  by  honest  exertion,  and  your  physical  and  intel- 
lectual faculties,  earn  dollar  and  dollar  by  the  day  for 
Yourselves,  for  your  families,  and  for  your  children. 
I A  voice — "Greenbacks?"]  Yes,  greenbacks  will  be 
just  as  good  if  ^ey  bring  the  dollar.  I  am  not  par- 
ticular. I  am  in  favor  of  silver  and  of  gold  and  of 
greenbacks,  and  as  many  as  are  necessary  to  oil  the 
machinery  whieh  shall  keep  the  great  business  ofthe 
world  in  free  and  harmonious  action,  so  that  every 
man  shall  be  busy  in  keepimr  up  with  the  wheels  or 
indust^.  Now,  I  tell  you  how  I  propose  to  bring  it 
about,  because  you  are  men  who  have  too  much  intel- 
ligence to  be  satisfied  with  mere  declarations  of  srm- 
pathy  for  laboring  men.  [A  voice — "You  *re  right 
now."] — that  is,  mere  words;  that  is.  mere  straw  ;  that 
is.  mere  chaff,  f A  voice — "We  want  facts."]  Those 
professions  are  cheap  ;  the  tbing  is  to  know  what  we 
are  going  to  do  about  It. 

THB  PROPOSED  BtTREAU  OF  rKDUSTET. 

In  the  ftrst  place,  it  Is  proposed  by  the  Kepabllean 
Convention  to-day,  In  the  name  of  the  Republican 
people  of  Obio,  that  Congress  shall  organise  a  Bureau 
of  Industry.  Kow,  lot  us  see  -what  that  means.  We 
have  what  Is  called  a  Bureau  of  Agriculture.  It 
does  not  amount  to  much.  I  agree.  In  fact.  It  only 
amounts  to  a  sort  of  seed-distributing  concern,  but 
the  idea  of  it  is  this  -.  When  it  was  originated  the  law- 
makers of  the  dav  were  impressed  with  the  idea  that 
the  Government  liad  some  connection  with  the  agri- 
cultural labor  of  the  countrv,  and.  therefore,  in  tho 
interest  of  that  labor,  they  organized  a  bureau  for  tho 
purpose  not  merely  of  collecting  and  distributing 
seeds,  bnt  for  the  additional  purpose  of  collocting  all 
the  Information,  all  the  statistics,  all  the 
facts  affecting  the  condition  of  that  la- 
bor in  tho  East  and  in  tho  West  and  in 
the  Korth  and  in  the  South,  so  that  by  publications, 
by  reports*  by  information,  and  by  representation,  tho 
condition  of  that  labor  might  be  known  from  the  la- 
borers themselves,  and  out  of  these  may  grow  up  a 
true,  sound,  and  valuable  system  of  knowledge  that 
would  affect  the  very  condition  for  the  better. 

Now,  it  is  proposed  to  enlarge  that  bureau  so  that 
instead  of  being  confined  to  mere  agricultural  labor, 
it  sh^l  cover  the  whole  domain  of  labor  of  ever^'  de- 
scription ;  the  mechanical  labor  of  ail  artizans.  the 
day  labor  and  everything  connected  with  the  Indus- 
trial system  of  theX'nited  i^tates,  extending  from  the 
Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  from  the  coast  of  Labrador  to 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  and  if  any  laboring  man  In  the 
United  States  has  any  plan,  proposition,  complaint, 
or  any  appeal  to  make  to  the  Govemment  of  his 
country,  there  stands  an  organ  of  that  Government  to 
express  to  him  the  idea  that  that  Government  does 
not  rezard  him  as  an  outlaw  and  an  outcast,  but  a 
mm  ol  fiesh  and  blood  and  bone  that  needs  his  daily 
bread  and  meat  to  live  on,  and  they  do  or  will  en- 
deavor by  everv  means  that  ho  can  surest — ^mind 
you,  that  ho  can  suggest — by  which  that  ^vemment 
shall  exercise  its  power,  its  wtole  power.  Its  consti- 
tutional power,  to  bring  into  harmony  with  the  ne- 
cessity of  his  existence  all  the  forces  of  society.  [A 
voice,  "  Whoso  bill  Is  it  ?  "]  I  do  not  care  whose  bill 
it  Is.  Whatever  bill  it  is  that  will  provide  that — 
(A  voice,  "Will  you  support  it  f")  Twill;  IwlUln- 
trcyluce  It ;  I  will  speak  for  it :  I  will  plead  for  it ;  I 
will  teU  the  Senate  of  the  United  States  that  thou- 
sands and  tens  of  thousands  of  laboring  men  in  tho 
West  are  pleading  to  have  the  Government  stretch 
out  its  hand  in  a  friendly  way  to  let  them  know  that 
the  Government  does  care  whether  they  starve  or 
thrive.  The  Government  tmder  this  proposition  will 
organize  a  Bureau  of  Indnstrj'  bv  which  all  these  tarts 
can  be  investigated  and  true 'information  given  to  all 
people.  [A  voice,  "It  takes  them  too  long."]  We

THE   RAILROAD   QUESTION. 

That  is  not  all,  however ;  that  Is  only  a  small  part. 
Tho  next  proposition  is  this:  Here  are  great  lines  of 
railroad  extending  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Missis- 
sippi River.  ThB  Xew-York  Central,  the  Lake  Shore, 
with  its  western  connections,  the  Erie,  and  the  At- 
lantic and  Great  Western,  with  its  western  and  sonth- 
westem  connections,  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  with 
the  Pan  Handle,  Cleveland,  Columbus,  Cincinnati 
and  IndiuiapuUs  and  Us  conneetioBs,  and  tho  Balti- 
more and  Ohio — [A  voice,  **  Two  men  eonlroithe  whole 
road."]  Yes,  that  may  be.  Kow.  I  am  gohvgtocoma 
to  that.  Here  are  four  great  trunk  Unes  of  railroad, 
with  their  leased  lines  and  branches,  and  those  four 
lines  are  the  lines  npon  which  the  whole  transporta- 
tion of  the  country,  from  the  plains  this  ride  of  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  including  all  the  imports  into  this 
country  through  San  Franusco  that  copie  over  the 
Union  Pacific,  are  transferred  from  the  West  to 
the  East,  with  a  ratum  traafportatiaK  fren  ^

For  instanc«,  among  other  things,  for  the  safety  of 
travel  and  tho  prot«ctJon  of  property  and  life,  amd 
for  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  engaged  in  tho  busi- 
ness, it  requires  that  no  man  shallbo  allowed  to  mat 
as  an  engineer  or  a  pilot  on  a  steam  tmooI  nnleci  ho 
has  boen  examined  and  has  received  a  oartifloato  of 
his  qualifications.  [A  voice,  "Do  yon  olala  they 
carry  the  law  out  t "]  They  carry  it  out  aa  most  laws 
are  earried  out,  and  very  strictly  sometimes.  [Ap- 
plause.] I  know  that  no  man  ought  to  be  a_pIlot  or 
an  engineer  on  a  steam-boat  until  ho  haa  booa  ex- 
amined and  received  a  cortiflcate  of  quaUfiestloa.  >

havo  to  pay  a  dollar  for  It,  and  you  do  not  know  cA 
any  case  where  any  man  ever  paid  a  dollar  for  It. 
Now  you  are  talking  of  facts  out  of  your  tmagtuAtioii. 
There  are  soma  things  you  know  more  about  thaczt  I 
do,  but  this  Is  a  pouit  that  I  know  more  about  tbaa 
you  do. 

Now,  then,  there  Is  one  other  thing  whUo  wo  ava 
on  railroads :  The  ndht^ods  would  not  be  permittod  to 
run  their  trains  with  green  hands.  They  wtmld  not 
be  allowed  to  pick  up  a  fireman  and  mak»  Mm.  aa 
engineer,  because  he  would  havo  to  be  examlnod  and 
receive  a  certificate  of  q-ualiflcAtion  from  a  board  ap- 
pointed for  that  purpose.  I  mention  this  beeanso  n 
would  be  a  protection  to  the  engineer  and  the  firenwa 
against  the  competition  of  men  who  are  green  and  in- 
experienced and  incompetent.  But -that  li  not  alL. 
Congress  can  rei^ulate  uiese  lines  of  transportations 
it  can  take  hold  of  these  giant  corporarions,  and  U  ii

which  can  control  thorn.  And  by  reasonablo  xnlaa' 
and  regulations  It  cau  provide  against  that  ndiman- 
Bgement,  that  reckless  competition,  that  destnuttrft 
abuse  of  trust,  by  which  these  companies  harodia-' 
abled  themselves  from  performing  their  dutiaa-'tD 
those  that  they  employ  in  their  service,  and  It  la  m'

There  zemalna  btit  one  other  thing.  Paxhapt,  ia 
spite  of  the  wisest  l^lslation,  circnrastaneos  bo- 
yond  any  human  control  may  aria*  from  fallnroa  ol  j 
crops,  or  some  other  natural  cause,  by  whloh  a  ooa- 1 
troversy  may  arise.  A  railroad  company  may  think, 
that  It  ought  not  to  pay  beyond  a  certain  rate  of 
wages  for  Its  operators,  whereas  the  mon  may 
think  that  they  oueht  to  continue  receiving  what 
they  w^re  in  the  habit  of  getting,  or.  perhape  m  jus- 
tice, ought  to  be  entitled  to  ask  an  Increaae.  From 
those  causes  arise  "strikes,*'  or  "lock-outa,"  aa  thoy 
are  tenned  In  England^-differenees  which  result  in 
the  stoppage  of  business  and  paralysis  of  society. 
Kow,  no  man  derives  any  profit  from  that  atato  of 
things.  The  laborer  is  only  stopping  that  fountain 
which.  If  tt  was  allowed  to  give  forth  its  hoalinf 
waters,  would  bring  forth  that  which  would  givo  Um 
the  means  of  life,  and  he  stops  that  whieh  also  ere* 
ates  the  fount  which  goes  in  as  profit  to  the  capital-, 
ists.  Here  on  the  one  side  are  the  capitalists,  thora 
on  the  other  side  the  laborers,  both  fixed  and  zbxa  la 
their  assertion  of  their  respective  dalms,  neither  ablo 
to  see  the  other  side — both  insisting  on  their  own  OXp 
treme  richts. 

Kow,  I  propose — ^the  Republicans  of  Ohio  propOM 
— ^that  in  every  such  case  the  Federal  Goveminant, 
the  national  authority,  by  means  of  some  wlao  ay»> 
tem,  shall  institute  a  statntorv  mode  of  arbitratsng 
these  differences  in  settling  it  tn  an  amicable  and  an 
honorable  and  a  just  way.  lA  voice — "  Yea,  but 
Tom  Scott  can  buy  them  off  apain."]  Now,  ray 
friends,  all  persons  are  not  so  easily  bought  as  yon 
are.  You  must  not  judp?  other  men  by  yourselves. 
No ;  Tom  Scott  cannot  nuy  the  American  people ;  no* 
other  man  can.  The  American  people  are  a  fnst-. 
minded  people.  They  are  a  generous  people.  They 
are  a  magnanimous  people.  I  do  not  know  whether 
you  are  American  bom  or  not.  TiStiatever  you  are, , 
or  if  vou  have  l>een  naturalized  lonx  enougli  tb  have' 
felt  the  true  inspiration  of  an  American  citizen,  yoa' 
would  reject  that  scorn  and  indignation  and  insist! 
which    you    have    offered   to    tho    American    poo- 

fde.  Thev  cannot  be  purchased.  They  are  iugh,; 
ofty,  noble,  generons,  just,  trying  to  do  their  duty' 
before  God  and  man.  [A  voice.  "  Didn't  Jim  Fis«

leave  them.  [ Applaiute.  ]  Go  where  you  came  from. 
I  belong  here;  I  was  born  here.  No,  do  not  judge 
others  ov  the  mean  and  miserable  measures  wbiclt 
you  resort  to  to  measure  yourselves.  Ko ;  the  Ameri- 
can people  stretch  out  their  hands  of  friendship  and 
of  reconciliation,  of  peace,  of  justice,  of  equity,  and 
if  you  refus*-  it  you  do  it  to  your  own  wrong.  New-

with  the  Industrj*  of  mj"  country  than  with  tne  capl- 
tsd  of  mv  country.  [A  voice,  '' Bravo. *^  I  c&anoo

upon  any  sect,  upon  any  grade,  or  upon  any  color, 
save  and  except  in  so  far  as  they  do  wrong  In  viola- 
tion of  the  laws  of  God  and  the  laws  of  man.  [Ap- 
plause. 

I  promised,  however,  to  oocnpy  bnt  a  moment  oC 
time,  and  I  shall  keep  my  woru,  but  I  desire  to  say, 
my  fellow-citizens,  to  you  a  word  only  upon  a  suo- 
ject  which  I  know  is  uppermost  In  the  minds  and  ha 
the  hearts  of  most  of  you.  It  is  that  tfae  industry  <^ 
our  country  shall  be  so  regarded  as  that  labor  shall  at 
least  receive  that  compensation  which  shall  bo  the 
support  and  sustenance  of  tlie  laborer.  [Applanae.] 
I  ao  not  know  how  it  may  certainly  be  brought  about. 
I  know  the  difllculties.  I  know  the  emborraaamants, 
I  know  how  insurmountable  are  the  ebstmetions  In 
the  way  of  any  equal  or  proper  adjustment  of  the 
relations  between  those  who  labor  and  those  who 
furnish  the  means  and  opportunities  to  labor.  But 
if  I  had  the  power  I  wui^djtr>-  one  experiment  at 
least.  I  would  prohibit  thegreat  railroad  corpora- 
tions, the  great  thoroughfares  of  business  and  trade, 
from  so  reducing  their  rates  by  ruinous  competition 
as  to  disable  themselves  from  paying  a  jostoompesa** 
tlon  to  their  operators.  [Cries  of  "Oood,*'  and  ap- 
plause.] I  would  go  further,  and  try  the  expeiimen^— 
but  I  do  not  know  that  it  would  succeed — ^I  wvold 
arrange  and  fix  a  minimum  of  pricee  for  all  who  labor 
in  the  mines  and  upon  the  railroads,  and  than 
require  an  account  of  all  tho.  not  reoeipU  and 
proceeds  of  the  capital  Invested ;  the  laboror 
at  the  end  of  the  year  ^lotild,  in  ad- 
dition to  his  fixed  compensation,  reocoTe  a  cea^- 
tain  per  cent,  of  the  profits.  [Applause,  and  rrJaa  mi 
"  That  is  the  man."]  Than,  if  the  prc^ti  ware  imaul- 
fident  to  compenaate  you  as  liberally  aa  yon  could 
otherwise  deeu^  bear  with  yonr  employera  a  paction 
of  the  loss.  [A  voice:  "Certainly."!  BntB  Hiadr

God's  namo  let  the  laborer,  who  ia  worthy  of  fala  bin. 
share  a  portion  of  the  profits.     [Applanae.]

— The  ehief  article  lor  August  in  this 
historical  pubUcatian  li  hj  Major  Asa  Bird 
Ghldner,  Iiaw  Prof  eaaor  o{  the  United  States 
KlUtuT  Aeadem;-.  His  subject  is  the  nnlform- 
tag  of  the  United  States  Armj  from  the  French 
mars  in  the  Colonies,  before  the  United  States 
Kdsted,  to  the  tffariaan  -war.  It  haa  been  said 
(hat  the  "boff  and  blue"  of  the  patriot  ofB- 
His  had  no  analogy  la  prevloas  history,  but  It 
leems  that  It  ■vpas  a  oomblnation  of  colors 
tboToagihly  etrtabUahed  in  England  long  before 
the  Berolation.  The  regiment  of  Boy-al  Horse 
Guards  or  "blues,"  raised  by  Charles  IL,  wore 
%  bine  uniform  ■with  red  facings,  yellow  bind- 
ings on  their  hats  and  buff  belts.  When  King 
VnilUun  HL's  Haster-Oeneral  of  the  Ordnance 
was  aboat  to  set  sail  from  Chester  for  Ireland 
to  meet  the  Irish  forces  of  King  James  H.,  he 
issued  a  warrant  in  1689  prescribing  that  the 
Boyal  Begiment  of  Artillery  should  have  "blue 
Boats,  lined  with  orange,  and  brass  buttons,  and 
that  their  hats  ahonld  be  bound  with  the  same 
color.  Also  that  the  drivers  or  carters  in  the 
regiment  should  wear  gray  coats,  faced  with 
Drange.  BuS  and  blue,  therefore,  was  the 
uniform  affected  by  the  Whig  Party  in  Eng- 
land, and  natnrallr  became  the  colors  of  the 
Whig  Party  in  America.  The  nnlform,  how- 
■rer,  never  became  general,  chiefly  on  account 
If  the  dUBeulty  in  proeartng  cloth.  Washing- 
ton and  his  staff,  together  with  certain  regi- 
ments, used  It.  A  thousand  other  uniforms  are 
mentioned  by  Prof.  Gardner  as  TTrn>v^ng  up  the 
motley  garb  of  our  old  armies.  The  buttons 
that  are  still  found  on  the  battle-ground  of 
Saratoga  indicate  that  the  great  majority  of 
privates  were  there  in  common  farmers'  clothes. 
The  introduction  of  the  modem  trousers,  or 
pantaloons,  is  assigned  to  the  year  1776,  when, 
In  July,  Washington  Issued  a  general  order  en- 
lonraging  the  nse  of  hunting  shirts,  with  long 
breeches  made  of  the  same  cloth,  gaiter  faaliion 
tbout  the  legs.  This  was  because  the  commis- 
larlat  could  not  supply  uniforms.  From  that 
Umo  the  troops  wore  the  overall  which  came 
down  over  the  shoe,  with  a  strap  underneath, 
tnd  buttoned  at  the  ankle  with  four  but- 
tons. In  a  country  IVLe  America  the 
British  soon  saw  the  advantage  of  this 
irarment,  and  adopted  it  for  that  service, 
rhey  also,  says  the  writer,  Imitated  the  Amer- 
icana in  the  two-rank  formation  of  troops  in- 
Itead  of  three — a  technical  arrangement  which 
•ubsequently  became  general.  Quoting  from 
Eapp's  Lif»  of  Gen.  SUiiUn,  the  origin  of  the 
term  tana-adoUta,  which  afterward  became  cel- 
ebrated in  the  French  Revolution,  Is  ascribed 
to  Steuben,  who,  on  the  occasion  of  a  grand 
dinner,  called  the  young  officers  at  his  mess 
table  in  Valley  Forge  by  that  strictly  accurate 
term.  They  we're  so  ragged  that  no  one 
with  a  whole  pair  of  breeches  was  allowed 
to  be  present.  The  cue'  was  retained 
In  the  Army  until  ISOl.when  Brig.-Oen.  James 
WflUoaon  caused  great  indignation  by  issuing 
a  general  order  to  cut  it  off.  Lieut. -CoL 
Thomas  Butler,  commanding  the  Second  Begu- 
lar  Infantry,  who  had  been  a  Ldeutenant  in

he  would  not  cut  off  his  cue.  Wilkinson  ex- 
cepted Um  in  a  new  general  order  on  the 
Kround  of  IB-health,  but  afterward  withdrew 
the  permission.  In  1S03  Wilkinson  tiad  him 
adjudged  and  reprimanded  by  a  court- 
martial,  and  for  renewed  disobedience 
sent  him  before  another  general  court-martial 
(or  "  willful,  obstinate,  and  continued  disobedi- 
ence of  orders,  and  for  mtStinous  conduct." 
The  court  sentenced  bim  to  suspension  for  one 
year,  "  but  before  the  order  was  issued  the  vet- 
eran had  been  gathered  to  his  fathers,  and  was 
buried  with  his  cue."  Biographical  sketches  of

THI  POBTPOUO. 

For  July,  Vie  Portfolio  offers  as  first  piece 
a  etching,  by  lAon  Rieheton,  of  one  of  Sir 
Joshua  Reynold's  portraits  in  the  Althorp  Gal- 
lery. It  represents  "Jack  Spencer,  Viscount 
Althorp,"  as  he  signs  himself  to  a  youthful  let- 
ter when  a  boy,  and  at  first  sight  suggests  {pact 
Bir  Joshua)  that  the  young  noblemen  has  been 
Indulging  too  freely  in  green  apples.  Why  else 
should  he  be  pressing  the  pit  of  his  stomach  with 
his  left  hand  iinder  cover  of  a  broad  scarf 
tied  around  bis  Uttle  middle  ?  The  picture  seems 
to  have  been  painted  in  haste,  but  possesses  that 
frank  charm  which  makes  the  pictures  of  chil- 
dren by  Reynolds  so  pleasing.  Prof.  Colvin's 
paper  on  "Albrecht  Diirer"  takes  up  Marcan- 
tonio  of  Bologna,  a  silversmith  and  engraver  oa 
copper,  who  Imitated  Dtlrer  in  early  life,  and 
being  attracted  to  Rome  later  «□  by  the  fame  of 
Raphael,  became  the  means  of  spreading  the 
Came  of  that  master  hy  a  series  of  prints 
of  his  works,  both  his  finished  paintings  and 
his  onflniahad  sketches.'-  Prof.  Colvln  gives  one 
of  Marcantonio's  piracies  from  Dllrer,  a  plate 
representing  the  Saints  Stephen,  Gregory,  and 
tAwrenee  standing  together  under  a  portico. 
Even  oarer's  mark — a  large  A  with  a  D  Inside, 
the  two  out  on  a  tablet  near  the  foot  of  the  pic- 
tora— ^UM  been  reproduced  by  the  unscrupulous 
Italian.  We  are  given  the  tale  of  Vasari  in 
regard  to  Oarer's  wrath  at  the  imitations  of  hU 
work,  and  liis  voyage  to  Venice  in  order  to  get 
Jnstlea  from  the  Seignory.  He  is  said  to  have 
only  succeeded  in  debarring  Marcantonio  from 
forging  his  signature  in  the  .future.  In  addi- 
tion to  this  wood-cut,  in  the  text  there  is  a  full- 
page  heliogravure  of  marvelous  beauty,  repro- 
ducing Marcantonio's  portrait  of  one  of  the 
most  witty  and  infamous  men  of  the  aga — the 
Oeantiona  poet  and  literary  freebooter,  Peter 
of  Arezzo.  It  Is  a  liandsome  face,  with 
tittle  of  that  wickedness  which  his  eon- 
temporaries  charged  him  with.  Michael  An- 
gelo  was  one  of  the  many  whom  this  nn- 
•empuions  man  black-mailed  without  success. 
The  editor,  P.  Q.  Hamerton,  contlnnes  in  this 
month's  Issue  his  papers  on  Turner.  There  are 
two  smaU.jrood-euts  in  the  text  from  celebrated 
pifltOTBS  by  Turner,  and  a  page  Is  occupied  by 
two  more  reprodnetlons  by  etching,  apparently 
from  the  burin  of  Mr.  Hamerton  hiTnaoif,  to

—  The  seventh  number  of  the  American 
CaiXoUe  Quarttriy  S*view  contains  a  leading 
essay  by&rothar  Aiarias,  en  "The  English  in

tion of  tha  Anglo-Saxon  poem  called 
"  B&nnlf;''  and  .Bngland  Undtr  Anglo-Saxon 
Kings,  by  Lappenbtrg.  Brother  Asarias  falls 
foul  of  Henri  Tain*  for  his  exaggerated  esti- 
mates, drawn  from  a  few  quotations 
OTXt  of  Anglo-Saxon  boolcs ;  he  pronounoea  ^^-n* 
soperfleial,  and  says  that  his  opinions  are  tlne- 
tnnd  with  newspaper  flippancy.  But  what  is 
worse,  Taiae  naaa  threnghoat  Us  book  ■  most

posed  the  crowning  oi  his  ^roA  by  Qx»  Ftenoh 
Academy.  "Paying  public  honor  to  such 
a  book  Were  giving  open  approval 
to  atheism."  Having  given  Talne  sev- 
eral not  unmerite<)  raps  after  this  fsshlqn, 
it  would  liave  been  fairer  hhd  the  learned  essay- 
ist limited  his  condemnation  to  the  portion  of 
Taine's  work  referring  to  the  Anglo-Saxons. 
What  maybe  hasty  criticism  on  his  part  in 
regard  to  so  complex  a  question  as  English 
archffiology  is  not  necessarily  superficial  when 
applied  to  later  Ehiglish  literature.  It  is  hardly 
fair  to  judge  Taine  exclusively  on  the  chapters 
relating  to  the  old  English,  and  leave  the  reader 
to  suppose  that  his  whole  history  is  equally 
untrustworthy.  Brother  Aiarias,  in  exam- 
ining the  subject  that  he  clainxs  has 
been  treated  superficially  by  the  brilliant 
Frenchman,  appears  to  be  working  from  a  very 
advantageous  basis,  as  far  as  his  own  acquire- 
ments are  concerned.  He  shows  in  his  trans- 
lations from  "  Btowulf"  a  good  loiowledge  of 
Anglo  Saxon,  quotes  from  the  Sanskrit  of  the 
Bitopadesa  and  Samayana,  and  betrays  an  ex- 
cellent general  knowledge  of  authorities  on  lan- 
guage. His  article  is  valuable  for  giving  in 
outline  the  movement  of;  the  "  BSowulf"  lay,  and 
for  an  effort  to  bring  into  the  field  of  modem 
thought  a  conception  of  the  habits  and  customs 
of  the  CAtinental  Angles,  Saxons,  and  Jutes. 
His  last  section  strives  to  get  at  the  philosophi- 
cal ideas  of  these  old  tribes,  the  way  they 
looked  at  nature  and  accounted  for  their  exist- 
ence; on  an  earth  full  bf  pains  and  joys.  He 
trao^  In  the  gigantic  symbols  of  the  Edda  the 
same  traditions  hinted  in  the  first  book  of  Gen- 
esis. "  We  have  dived,"  said -Brother  Azarias, 
"  into  the  thoughts  of  this  people ;  we  have 
measured  the  beatings  of  its  heart;  we  have 
seen  how  its  days  were  passed  in  the  mistland 
of  its  Continental  homesteads;  we  have  con- 
templated tbs-genius  of  important  modem  in- 
stitutions ;  but  we  have  noticed  very  few  indl- 
oations  of  the  great  irresistible  nation  wUch 
was  in  after  times  to  play  such  a  conspicuous 
part  in  molding  the  civilizations  of  Europe  and 
America.  But  who  sees  the  hero  ia.  the  infant 
child  1"  .  Unfortunately,  a  simile  often  misleads. 
Modem  Anglo-Saxons  are  in  no  sense  the  man 
grown  out  of  the  Anglian  child,  but  a  hybrid 
mass  of  nationalities  very  different  from  the  old 
stock.  Perhaps  certain  counties  of  England 
still  retain  the  pure  adult  developed  out  of  that 
savage  infant.  Other  writers  for  this  quarter 
are  Rev.  A.  J.  Thebaud,  S.  J.,  on  "  The  Church 
and  the  State;"  Rrof.  |P.  A.  Paley,  on  "The 
Buins  of  Ephesus;"  John  Gilmary  Shea,  on 
"  The  Blue  Laws  of  Connecticut,"  and  S.  B.  A. 
Harper,  with  a  polemic  in  answer  to  R.  W. 
Thompson,  on  "The  Papacy"  and  the  Civil 
Power."  Very  Rev.  J.  A.  Corcoran  writ^  about 
"  Roman  Forgeries,"  and  there  is  an  article  on 
"The  Framework  of  Society,"  by  B.  S.  Q.     .

when  most  writers  of  the  present  day  were  learning 
their  letters  or  waiting  to  be  bom.  It  is  gon. 
erally  conceded  that  this  Review,  while  it  lasted,

claimed  public  attention.  Dr.  Henry  is  a  strong  po* 
litical  writer,  and  many  of  the  papers  in  his  new  vol-

the  translator  of  Cousin's  Lecturee  on  Ptychology  and 
as  the  anthor  of  Dr.  Oldham  at  Qreyeionee  and  hit

gives  a  tmthfnl  picture  of  the  life  of  the  great  Low 
Church  leader  in  Viiginia,  who  recently  passed 
away.  He  was  a  Vermouter  by  birth,  but  his  active 
lUe  was  chiefly  spent  in  Virginia.  He  was  for 
sioxe  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  the  Bactor  of  the 
Episcopal  Church  at  Shepherdstown,  in  tliat  State, 
and  was  espedslly  eminent  for  bis  great 
power  as  a  debater  in  the  triennial  sessions  of 
the  Qeneral  Convention.  The  memoir  is  prepared 
by  Bav.  Ooznellns  Walker,  D.  D-,  and  throws  much 
light  upon  Low  Church  movements  in  the  Episcopal 
Church  during  the  last  generation.  Dr.  Andrews 
married  a  lady  who  inherited  a  large  niuuber  of 
slaves.  He  did  not  rest  till  they  were  set  free,  and, 
as  early  as  1835,  in  his  efforts  to  place  them  in  com. 
fortable  homes  in  Ijiberia; -gladly  accepted  the  posi- 
tion of  l^eus  of  the  Virginia  Coloulxation  Soeiety, 
and  spent  ssveial  years  in  its  etSetent  service.  He

to  be  right,  and,  though  always  a  -'Lconntry  parson,"

at  ea[np  M.  T.  Miller,  Kamiah,  Indian  Territory, 

July  17,  and  sarai 

Jnsit  30  days  ago  to  a  day,  the  exact  time  speel- 
fied,  and  the  time  agreed  upon  between  Q«d.  Howard 
and  Mr.  Montieth.  their  agent,  did  these  non-treaty 
Nez  Perce  Indians  eomiaenee  mnrdertng  men, women, 
and  children.  Few  in  the  East,  can  understand  the 
caiise  of  this  Nez  Perce  war.  Years  ago,  at  the  time 
this  tribe  was  given  a  re8er\-ation,  Joseph  held  that 
he  was  not  bound  to  go  npon  it  BU-hmitting  to  the 
United  Sutes  authorities,  because  Tie  did  not  sign  the 
treaty.  No  majority  rule  for  him.  Three  years  went 
by,  and  he  gathered  to  himself  a  sort  of  miscella- 
neous lot,  and  finally,  within  the  past  two  years, 
growing  stronger,  It  was  thought  oest,  prudent,  and 
all  that,  to  seek  to  moUif  y  this  savage  chieftain  by 
holding  connoUa,  talks,  and  the  liJce  with  him. 
Bis  lunbition  was .  the  Wallowa  Valley,  a  rich  and 
fertilfs  one  In  this  Northern  Idaho,  letting  Into  an- 
other, the  Imnohas,  both  aboundingin  game,  and 
whosb  streams  have  abundant  ilsh.  Why  not  1  "Who 
Wouldn't  have  to  much  if  he  could  only  get  it  1  So 
Jo  eph  stuck  and  hung,  till  last  Fall  a  commission 
was  aent  from  Washington,  and  after  much  labor 
this  commission  finally  consented  to  give  a  part  of 
this  coveted  land  to  Joseph  and  his  people.  Gaining 
the  inch  he  went  for  the  elJ.  and  must  have  all  or 
noiie[  and  so  we  have  the  war.  This  is  about  the  long 
and  short  of  this  whole  business.  Joseph  was  of- 
fered s  good  house,  <I  wish  I  had  as  good  a  one,) 
with  bams,  an  orchard  in  the  Valley  of  the  Lapwal. 
on  tfce  reservation-  This  would  not  do.  He  had 
promised  his  flock  of  maleontents  to  itick  for  Wal- 
lowa'and  Imiioha. 

In  May  last  the  final  council  began,  and  at  Fort 
Lapwai  On  the  lltb  Joseph  and  ms  people,  about 
75  warriors  with  their  families,  came.  The  Interior 
Department,  through  its  agent,  read  to  Joseph  bis 
instructions,  viz ;  That  unless  he  came  on  the  reser- 
vation peaceably,  he  must  call  on  the  military  to  put 
him  j  on  by  force.  Then  Gen.  Howard  read,  his  in- 
8tru(*tion3  from  the  War  Department,  viz:  That 
when  the  agent  called  upon  the  military,  he  must  act. 
Well,  Joseph,  he  sat  for  awhile,  ana  then  said : 
"White  Bird  was  coming,  was  in  the  mountains  ^nst 
above  us,  and  he  wantra  to  wait  for  him."  So  the 
coiuicil  adjourned  till  tomorrow  at  9  A.  M.  Nine 
A.  M.  to-morrow  came.  No  Indians.  At  about  10 
there  Is  a  big  dust  In  the  direction  of  Joseph's  camp, 
and  soon  the  head  of  the  column  appears,  this  time 
about  150  strong-  In  platoons,  singing  their  unearthly 
sonds,  in  war  paint  and  feathers,  du  these  savages 
match  twice  arotmd  our  Uttle  garrison,  (Fort  Lapwai, 
Indian  Territorv,)  and  then  dismount  and  gather 
about  our  council  tent.  White  Bird  shields  the  most 
of  his  flue  specimen  of  ati  Indian's  face  behind  an 
eagle's  wing.  Joseph  sits,  as  be  always  does,  with  a. 
nouJcommlttal  air.  Again  are  the  instructions  read, 
and  again  is  time  asked  la  order  that  they  may  talk 
it  all  over  together  in  their  Indian  counclL  This 
time  the  General  gives  two  dayi«,  for  be. Lh  pushing 
trooba  from  Walla  Walla  to  the  Wallowa  aud  bring- 
ing uiem  to  our  rear.  (Lewistun.)  The  two  days  ar^ 
up,  la^^i  the  same  iiouip  and  circumstance,  and  we 
are  seated  In  council.  Now  Looking  Gla.ss  is  pres- 
ent,! giving  us  all  the  non-treaty  chiefs  of  an>-  ac- 
count, viz.:  Josepli.  Lfooking  Glass,  and  White  Bird, 
with  followers  about  175.  A.  Quaker  meeting  la  the 
send  off.  Finallv  the  General  a-sks  JosepbHo  talk, 
which  he  dont  do.  ^Vhite  Bird  ditto  and  Looking 
Glass  the  same.  But  an  oldish  and  verv  savatfc-Iook  - 
ing  ^edjdne  man,  six  feet  and  over  of  badness,  takes 
a  seat  in  front  of  the  Gt-ueral  and  tlie  ageut  and  tells 
his  tum-tum,  (heart.) 

Speaking  of  medicine  men  on  this  north-west 
coast,  they  Iwat  the  average  one.  They  are  spirit- 
ists] with  the  theory  that  by  and  by  t  lie  Indians  are 
to  have  a  general  resurrection,  and  then,  good-bye 
whites.  So  this  old  fraud,  by  name  Too-chulhul- 
saitl  gives  forth  the  predetermined  voice  of  all  these 
Indians.  Says  he :  "Iwill  say  a  f«w  words.  The 
earth  la  i^'mother.  Who  Is  it  tliat  takes  away  my 
mother  ?  Who  did  I  tell  in  Washington  to  give  my 
land  away  }  The  earth  will  take  care  of  me.  I  am 
notjcoming  on  the  reservation." 
Gen.  Howard— Do  you  speak  for  yourself  I 
T^hs— Yes. 

Joseph,  White  Bird,  and  Looking  Glass  are  each 
asked  u  he  speaks  for  them,  aud  each  answers  yes. 
This  old  rascal  Is  then  taken  out  of  the  council  by 
force  and  put  iu  charge  of  an  officer.  Then  the  chiefs 
arellnformed  that  to-morrow  they  must  be  prepared 
to  select  each  a  place  on  the  reserve,  and  wdl  be 
given  30  days  to  come  on.  Next  day  Joseph  is  shown 
ihejiine  place  to  which  reference  has  been  made,  and 
he  iacitly  consents  to  take  it.  The  next  day  we  are 
traveling  across  the  great  Nisz  I'erce  Plairm  to  tliis 
very  place  where  I  sit  wrltinarthls,  with  White  Bird 
and  Looking  Glass  as  compaiuons.  The  next  day  we 
arelup  tins  Clear  Water  Riveft  IH  miles  above  this 
point,  and  where  the  hard*baltle  of  the  11th  Inst, 
was  fought.  Yes,  ^Miite  Bird  and  Looking  Glass 
would  come  in  In  30  days.  They  were  our  brothers. 
They  were  each  other's'brothers — iti  short,  the  most 
brotherly  pair  of  everybody's  brothers  one  cau  ima- 
gink 

Bat  the  story  entire  is  too  long-  This  whole  coun- 
try to  a  man  and  woman,  the  worst  Indian  hater  in 
all  of  it,  firmly  believed  these  three  chiefs  meant 
every  word  they  said.  Hence  the  unpreparedness  of 
the  murdered  settlers.  So  much  had  been  done  by 
the  commission,  the  work  of  the  Interior  Depart- 
ment. But  The  30  days  are  up.  On  a  little  stream 
called  John  Day.  running  into  the  Salmon  River,  two 
of  Joseph's  men,  without  the  knowledge,  it  Is  said,  of 
Joseph,  strike— killing  three  men.  Witli  stolen 
horses,  and  one  with  the  stolen  Henry  rifle,  they 
ride  early  into  Joseph's  camp,  sa>'ing.  "What  are 
von  women  doing  f  See  this  gun,  look  at  these 
hones.  Wliat  are  you  sitting  here  for  f  "  It  is  said 
these  murderers  really  decided  the  undecided  ones. 
They  must  give  up  the  murderers  and 
go  j  on  the  reservation,  this  or  war. 
The  war  party  was  too  strong,  and 
there  right  and  left  about  Mount  Idaho,  State  Creek, 
"Whitft  Bird  Cr6,k,  in  these  widely  separated  setlle- 
mcjpts,  17  men,  women,  and  children  were  murdered, 
an^  worse  than  murdered  were  some  of  the  women 
wlio  are  vet  alive  whom  I  saw  at  Slimnt  Idaho. 
Scarcely  alfve  were  two  of  them  whom  these  fiends 
had  so  cruelly  outraged  that  it  were  not  decent  or 
ri^t  to  print  it.  Even  death  did  not  stop  them  In 
the  case  of  one  woman,  and  that  in  the  presence  of 
het  aged  father,  whom  they  did  not  notice  enoogh  to 
hill.  With  streaming  eyes,  broken  heart,  and  choked 
voice,  this  poor  old  man  told  me  of  the  cruel  death  of 
hid  precious  child.  We  had  been  busy  in  cettlng  on 
certain  renegade  Indians  along  the  Columbia  River, 
and  had  woriced  back  by  canoe  and  steamer  to  Fort 
Lapwal  just  as  the  30  days  are  up.  Friday,  the 
X5^h  ult.,  a  corporal  and  three  men  having  been 
sent  out  to  Camas  Prairie  to  ascertain  the  position 
ofT  the  Indians,  they  are  met  by  two  Indiana 
escaping  from  Joseph's  camp,  who  turn  them  bjick 
to  jus  with  the  first  news  of  the  murders  on  the  John 
Dfty.  Then  Perry  is  .^ent  that  evening  to  head  thenl 
off  from  their  work  of  destruction,  and  an  officer  is 
sent  to  the  nearest  telegraph  station  at  Walla  Walla, 
toljride  without «  rest,  with  order*  for  th»  concentra- 
tion of  all  the  troops  in  the  department.  Already 
you  have  heard  of  Perry's  battle,  almost  a  second 
Custer's.  Troops  are  marched  with  almost  incredi- 
ble speed,  Indians  cross  and  recniss  these  rivers, 
which  are  torrents,  swift,  deep  and  dangerous,  until 
last  Wednesday,  the  11th,  we  have  so  pressed  them 
thkt  wc  are  now  on  them.  We  are  upon  a  plateau. 
A  [bluff  near  reveals  part  of  the  Indians  in  their 
camp  in  the  valley  of  the  north  fork  of  the  Clear 
WjSter,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Cottonwood.  We 
must  go  back  about  one  mile  and  a  half  to  secure  the 
hejad  of  the  ra-vlne  up  which  they  have  and  are  jwuring. 


A  howitzer  Is  sent  with  all  speed  thither,  supported 
byi  a  company  of  cavalry  and  a  Gatling'  gun,  aud  a 
company  of  infantry  put  under  double  time,  and  none 
top  soon,  for  the  enemy  appear  in  ipreat  force,  and 
madly  seek  to  outflank  this  little  band.  Other  troops 
are  ordered  up.  prolonging  oar  rieht,  and  in  less  than 
30  minutes  the  battle  is  opened  along  the  lines,  which 
now  have  been  extended  on  the  left  by  cavalry,  so 
that  we  have  a  front  of  nearly  two  and  a  half  miles, 
acainit  which  300  and  over  of  the  enemy,  in  every 
way  Imown  to  savage  warfare,  seek  to  break  our 
lines.  They  ride  up  oehind  little  elevations,  throw 
themselves  from  their  ponies,  fire,  and  are  off  like 
rockets.  Lines  of  them  creep  and  crawl  and  twist 
thjem.'ielvas  through  the  grass  until  within  i^nge, 
and  with  pieces  as  good  as  ours  tell  with  deadly  lum 
thkt  they  are  marksmen.  Ther  tie  grass  upon 
thleir  heads,  so  that  it  is  hard  to  tell  which  bunch  of 
grissa  does  not  conceal  an  Indian  with  a  globe-sighted 
rifle.  They  climb  tiees  and  shoot  from  them,  and 
for  seven  hours  we  put  our  boys  in  where  they  are 
greatly  needed,  and  also  bring  many  back  to  our  sur- 
geons, already  too  busy.  Cant.  Bancroft,  leading 
his  compauy,  A,  Fourth  Artillerj-,  is  shot  through 
the  lungs.  Seeing  him  soon^ofter,  he  said,  "I  saw 
the  black  snakes  crawling  up,  and  believe  I  fixed 
sdme  of  them."  A  brave  man,  a  patient  sufferer,  we 
aiW  glad  to  know  his  wound  is  not  necessarily  fatal. 
Lieut.  Williams  is  also  soon  brought  boclc  from 
the  mouth  of  the  gulch  shot  throtigh  tlie 
wrist  and  tJtiigh.  The  fight  commenced  at 
about  1  PiM.  At  3;30  €len.  Howard  ordered  a 
charge  on  the  left,  and  away,  under  Capt.  Miller, 
Fburth  Battalion,  go  oar  brave  men,  leaving,  as  I 
have  been  told,  eight  Indians  closely  laid  out  to- 
gether. Darkness  alone  closes  this  day's  work.  The 
night  finds  us  busy  throwing  up  intrench  men ts, 
c^ngforthe  wotmded,  (24.)  bringing  in  the  dead, 
oi  which  seven  are  found,  and  setting  at  work  pack- 
ers and  all  who  can  bake  bread,  for  our  hard  bread 
iHgone  and  we  are  nearly  out  of  rations.  We  are 
nearly  375  strong,  and  have  this  long  line  to  defend. 
Ojar  pack  animals  are  corraled  in  the  centre,  while 
our  cavalry  horses  unsaddled  remain  at  most  con- 
venientpoints  for  the  opening  of  the  morning's 
work.  The  bright  stars  look  down  on  our  little  army, 
exhausted  but  not  discouraged.  Our  torn  and  bleed- 
ing comrades  give  us  cheer  by  their  brave  words 
siiioken.  and  silent  suffering. 

This  is  all  that  can  be  written  now.  and  Is  the  first 
opporttmity  when  it  has  been  possible  to  put  aside 
pressing  work  at  every  halt,  to  do  what  I  have 
w^ted  todo,  viz.,  give  you,' and  through  youvour 
Madera — some  account  of  this  fight — many  of  wliom

reason  stated.  _  M.  C.  W.

iTheMemphis  (Tenn.)  Jjjpca?  has  the  follow- 
ing account  of  an  outrageous  incident  in  a  church : 
"About  10  o'clock  Monday  night  the  colored  church 
oil  the  comer  of  Sixth  and  Sycamore  streets,  Chelsea, 
was  the  scene  of  intense  excitement.  During  the 
service  a  drunken  necnro  named  J.  Allen  entered  the 
church,  where  his  wife  was  attending  divine  worship, 
^d  endeavored  to  create  a  disturbance  during  the 
nieeting  of  a  benevolent  society.  Several  of  the 
brethr&  took  Allen  out  doors  and  tried  to  qniet  h^Tn, 
b&t  he  was  too  angry,  to  listen  to  tnelr  persuasions.

BA&NS-^HIS  ARBESl^  AltD  EXAMIKATION 
ON  tME  ACCtJSAtlON  OF  A  SEft'-CONFKSSED 
ACCOMPLICE. 
From  iht  SpringJiHd  (UaH.)  RepvhlUan,  Aug,  3. 
James  Holmes,  al  gray-haired  and  gray-beard- 
ed and  apparently  respectable  farmer  of  Van  Deusen- 
ville,  said  to  be  worth  $20,000,  was  examined  before 
Judge  Bradford  and  bound  over  in  $3,000  yesterday 
for  firing  three  lax^  harm  and  a  shed  belonging  to 
John  0.  Munson,  a  zjelghhor,  on  the  night  of  Sept.  11 
last.  The  hams  wexle  Well-tUed  with  the  Summer's 
crops,  and  one  of  thpm  contained  three  horses.  Mr. 
Munson  suspected  Incendiarism  the  more  readily 
because  he  had  been  the  victim  of  two  other  fires, 
one  the  burning  of]  his  residence,  and  needed  but 
little  outside  evldeiice  to  fix  the  crime  in  his  oWn 
mind  upon  Mr.  Holmes,  because  of  former  trouble 
with  hhn.  Their  iiuorrel  began  in  1872,  when 
Munson  refused  to  turn  out  a  school-teacher  at 
the  request  of  Holmes.  This  led  to  an  attempt  on 
the  part  of  Holmes  to  injure  the  reputation  of  Mun- 
Son*B  daughter,  for  which  Munson  Drought  suit,  aud 
the  affair  was  settled  by  Holmes  paying  $600  and 
costs.  They  did  not  speak  to  each  other  after  this. 
and  there  Is  plenty  of  evidence  to  show  that  Holmes 
took  his  defeat  very  hard  and  harbored  revenge. 
One  man  says  be  tola  him  Munson  would  lose  more 
than  he  had  gained,  and  when  speaking  of  the  burn- 
ing of  his  hotise,  he  said  he  would  be  willing  to  bet 
8100  that  he  would  be  burned  out  agidn  within  a  year. 
But  though  there  is  more  testimony  of  this  sort^  it 
would  never  have  justified  an  arrest,  aud  the  Com- 
monwealth relied  inainly  on  the  story  of  XTriah 
Suraer,  Jr.,  and  the  corroboration  it  received 
from  others.  Surner  himself  was  convicted  at 
the  last  term,  of  this  same  crime,  and  his 
sentence  was  deferred  till  January,  to  await 
the  developments  he  now  makes,  though  he  says 
he  does  not  expect  kny  lighter  punishment  on 
account  of  them.  His  otory  on  the  stand  was  sub- 
stantially as  follow^:  I  livo  on  Christian  Hill,  south- 
west of  Van  Deusenville :  I  worked  for  Munson  a 
while,  but  had  some  difQculty  with  him  on  account  of 
my  pay,  and  left :  one  night,  a  week  before  the  fire,  I 
was  eolDg  home  rrom  Housatoulc  about  11  o'clock, 
whenl^sawa  mau  ahead  of  me  going  toward  Mun- 
son'S:  I  whistled,  and  he  jumt^ed  into  the  bushes: 
there  having  been  tlUe^-es  about  of  late,  I  thought  I 
would  watch  for  him  ;  so  I  lay  down  beside  the  road, 
and  In  about  20  minutes  I  saw  him  get  up  and  ap- 
proach Munson 's  bams  :  he  went  up  to  the  north  ttiue 
and  lit  some  straw,  when  I  hastened  up  and  asked 
him  what  he  was  doing;  it  was  Holmes,  and 
he  said  "  I  am  caught.  aud  appeared  much 
frightened ;  I:  told  blm  he  need  not  be  afraid,  as  2 
hated  Munson,  too ;  he  theh  said  he  would  make  me 
a  present  if  I  would  keep  a  still  month;  we  then 
made  a  compact ;  I  was  to  talk  about  the  barns  as  if 
I  was  going  to  bum  them,  and  he  would  let  me  know 
the  nignt  when  he  set  fire  to  them,  so  that  I  could  be 
away,  aud  have  witnesses  to  prove  where  I  waST~  I 
was  also  to  tell  people  afterward  that  I  did  it;  he 
said  If  I  gut  stuck  1  would  not  get  more  thuu  three  or 
four  ^cars,  and  he  would  pay  me  enough  to  make  me 
all  nght;  I  went  Into  It  with  my  eyes  open,  «x- 
)>ectiug  It  would  all  come  out  some  time ; 
soon  after  this  Holmes  paid  me  $40,  and  in 
a  few  days  the  bams  were  burned,  when  I  was 
three  miles  away;  we  were  not  suspected,  and 
one  day  this  Spring  Holmes  said  to  me  :  "  Well,  they 
haven't  caught  us  yet.  aud  I  guess  they  never  will. 
He  also  told  me  .  that  he  came  very  near  getting 
caught  the  night  of  the  fire  before  getting  home. 
This  story  of  burner's  was  corroborated  by  six  or 
eight  witnesses  who  saw  him  have  the  moijiey  and 
heard  him  tell  of  the  interviews  with  Holmes,  Jut 
the  case  hung  mainly  on  Sumer's  testimony,  and, 
although  Holmes  is  not  a  very  popular  man,  there  is 
much  sympathy  for  him  among  his  towns-people, 
many  of' whom  believe  the  whole  etory  pnt  up  by 
young  Sumcr  for  the  purpose  of  getting  a  light  sen- 
tence. Stimer  says  he  did  not  tell  his  story  at  his 
own  trial,  because  he  thought  Holmes  would  see  him 
through,  and  then  he  thought  all  the  time  he  would 
get  clear.  ; 

•  SA  WSIJAN  SVBSIDT. 
The  Baicaiian  OazetU  Of  July  4  says :  '*  Mr.  J. 
B.  Houston,  Executive  Officer  of  the  PaclfieMall 
Company  in  Kew-York,  arrived  here  on  the  steamer 
City  of  Sydney,  and  while  in  port  settled  with  the 
Hawaiian  Goverhmeut  the  terms  upon  which  the 
steam  service  promises  to  be  permanent.  The  con- 
tract is  substantially  as  follows :  The  service  will 
continue  aa  at  present  until  December  next,  when  it 
will  be  changeu  to  semi-monthly.  For  this  puipose  a 
small  steamer  (perhaps  the  Costa  Rica)  will  be  dis- 
patched monthly  from  San  Francisco  to  Honolulu, 
returning  from  this  port  with  freight  and  passengers. 
The  Australian  boats  will  continue  to  call  as  now, 
will  remain  in  port  at  least  six  hours  of  daylight, 
and  a  specified  number  I  of  state-rooms  (10)  are 
to  be  reserAed  for  Honolulu  passengers  on  each 
trip  from  Sydney  to  San  Francisco.  In  consider- 
ation of  these  cOnresslons,  this  Government  will  pay 
the  subsidy  voted  by  the  Legislature,  and  there  Is 
verj-  little  question  that  it  will  be  permanently 
voted,  as  the  more  intelligent  Representatives  have 
always  stipported  the  measure.  We  congratulate  the 
public  on  this  terminatiop  of  the  steamer  question, 
as  it  insures  to  us  Increased  privileges,  and,  m  short, 
all  that  baa  been  asked  for  by  the  most  exacting. 
Tahiti  haa  just  concluded ,  a  contract  with  parties  in 
San  Francisco  under  which  she  is  to  receive  her 
mails  monthly  by  sailing  vessels,  paying  $15.*K>0 
per  annum  for  five  years.  All  who  have  aided  in  se- 
curing the  continuance  of  our  steam  eervice — and 
among  them  our  friend  Major  George  Macfarlane.  of 
the  flnu  <^  Green,  Macfarlane  A  Co..  who,  during  his 
rc^eut  visit  to  San  Franciano,  was  very  active  in  the 
matter — deserve  the  thanks  of  the  public" 


CUTTIXG  DOTTA-  PEACB  TREES. 

The  Wilmington  (DeL)  Commercial  of  Thtirs- 
doy  evening  says  :  "A  letter  from  Sussex  in  yester- 
day's CoTnmerci^  announced,  that  peach  culture  was 
so  far  a  failure  that  many  farmers  wotild  cat  down 
their  trees  during  the  present  year.  To-day  a  letter 
from  Kent  County  announces  that  a  gentlcmui  liv- 
ing near  Felton,  after  picking  this  year's  crop  of 
Hale's  early  peaches,  cut  down  an  oinhard  of  500 
trees.  We  suppose  this  is  the  only  solution  of  the 
difficulty  peach-growers  have  experienced.  Though 
freights  have  come  down  to  about  half  what  they 
were  a  few  years  ago,  yet  the  prices  realized  for  the 
fruit  have  fallen  much  more  in  proportion,  and  there 
is  no  profit  In  ralfting  fruit  to  sell  at  the  prices  it 
has  realized  in  Kew-York  for  the  past  few  years. 
Whether  a  return  to  the  cultivation  of  cereals  will 
pay  or  not,  remains  to  be  ieen,  but  the  necessity  for 
some  sure  and  profitable  crop  is  now  very  evident, 
and  we  hope  careful  and  intelligent  experiments  will 
be  made  to  demonstrate  the  practicability  of  the 
sugar-beet  culture,  to  encourage  which  the  last  Legis- 
lature created  a  State  Commiislnn.  But  w«  hope 
the  process  of  destroying  peach  orchards  will  not  oe 
carried  too  far,  for  if  prosperity  ever  does  come  back 
to  our  land,  the  large  cities  will  become  better  cus- 
tomers for  fruit  than  they  are  now,  when  so  many 
of  their  people  find  it  as  mdch  as  they  can  do  to  buy 
bread.  This  Is  the  best  fruit  region  on  the  Atlantic 
coast,  and  is  situated  In  convenient  proximity  to 
Kew-York,  Philadelphia.  Brooklyn,  Baltimore,  snd 
Washington,  in  the  order  we  have  named  them  the 
flnt,  second,  third,  sixth,  and  twelfth  in  .population 
among  American  cities. "

COL.  SARD  SEEX  IX  ALRAXT. 

The  Kutland  (^t)  Strald  says  that  Mr.  J.  S. 
Rowley,  of  the  firm  of  Lyon,  Proseus  ft  Rowley, 
flonr,  provisions,  and  fish  dealers  of  Albany,  was  in 
Rutland  on  Wedniesday  evuning,  and  gave  the  follow- 
ing account  of  his  meeting  Col.  Hen-  y  S.  Hard  in  Al- 
bany last  Friday  afternoon:  "About  3  o'clock," 
he  said,  "as  I  was  passing  through  Union  Depot  I 
met  Col.  Hard,  whom  I  hwl  seen  before  in  Arlington, 
and  shook  hands  with  him.  I  jokingly  asked  him  if 
he  was  not  lost,  and  he  rrolied,  'On,  no.'.  I  aid, 
'  When  did  you  come  down  r  and  he  answered,  '  I 
got  here  last  night.*  To  my  inquiries  whether  Ar- 
liugton  was  all  right  and  whether  the  West  boys  and 
others  wer©  well,  he  replied.  'Yes.'  Tliere  was 
nothing  evasive  in  any  of  his  replies,  ex- 
cept perhaps  to  my  question  when  ne  came 
down,  and  he  was  not  at  all  reserved  or  diffident.  I 
did  not  know  then  that  he  had  mysteriously  dijBap- 
peared  from  Arlington,  and  having  always  supposed 
that  he  was  most  correct  In  his  habits,  was  surprised 
at  his  appearanfce,  for  hts  eyes  were  bloodshot  and 
his  face  flushed,  as  if  he  had  Deen  on  a  '  tear.*  The 
same  appearances  might  have  beenproduced  how- 
ever, by  anxiety  and  steeplessness.  He  was  perfectly 
sober  at  the  time,  and  had  no  smell  of  liquor  about 
him.  I  did  not  see  him  do  so,  but  had  the  impression 
that  he  was  going  to  the  office  to  buy  a  ticket,  and  as 
the  only  train  which  left  at  that  time  was  the 
3:10  P.M.  Chicago  special,  he  may  have  taken  that. 
I  went  out  of  the  depot,  and  did  not  Ree  him  after-

MORGAN  COLLISION. 
Washington,    Aug.  2.— The   following   de- 
eUions  were  rendered  in  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court: 

Ko.  20ir~Edgar  G.  Maday,  Charle*  A.  itroad- 
water,  George  SUeU,  and  Matthew  CarroU,  plaintifs 
in  error,  V9.  Abraham  Sanda  and  Jtdiiu  Sonde. — In 
error  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Territory  of  Hon* 
tanO. — This  case  presents  the  single  question  whether, 
tmder  the  dvH  pructioe  act  erf  Montana,  judgment 
can  be  entered  against  a  defendant  as  upon  default 
for  want  of  issues  to  be  tried,  when  there  Is  on  file  iu 

;  the  cause  an  answer  denying  specificaUy 
all    the     allegations     In     the   complaint :    but    in 

i  which  the  denud  is  based  upon  information  and  be- 
lief only,  if  it  appears  that  the  facts  in  controversy 
were  not  within  the  personal  knowledge  of  the  de- 
fendant, and  that  the  Information  upon  whkdi  he 
based  his  belief  came  from  his  agents  employed  to 
transact  the  business  out  of  which  the  litigation 
arose.  Sections  56  and  63  of  the  Practice  act  are  as 
follows: 

8bc.  66.  The  answer  of  the  defendant  shall  con- 
tain a  specific  denial  to  each  allegation  In  the  complaint 
intended  to  be  controverted  by  the  defendant  *  *  * 
In  denyiuK  any  allegation  in  the  complaint,  not  presump- 
tively within  the  knowledge  of  the  dtfcudant,  It  shall  be 
sufficient  to  put  such  allegation  in  Issue  for  the  defend- 
ant to  state  that,  as  to  any  such  allegation,  he  has  not 
and  cannot  obtain  soificicnt  knowledge  or  information 
upon  which  to  base  a  belief. 

Sbc-  63.  All  complslnts.  answers,  and  replications  shall 
be  verified  as  provided  in  this  section.  *  *  *  Xhe 
affidavit  of  verification  shall  state  that  the  facts  stated  in 
the  pleading  are  true  to  the  knowledge  of  the  person 
making  !t,  except  as  to  those  matters  which  are  therein 
stated  on  his  information  and  belief,  and  as  to  those 
matters  that  he  l>eHeves  it  to  be  true.  Such  verification 
shall  be  made  by  the  party,  or  if  there  are  several  parties 
united  in  intere-st  orpleauiugs,  by  one,  at  least,  of  such 
parties  acquainted  with  the  facts,  if  such  party  is  in  the 
country  and  capable  of  making  offldarit. 

The  verification  in  this  case  was  in  the  proper 
form,  and  it  further  stated  "that  the  defendants' 
said  business  at  Corinne,  Utah,  was  performed  by 
agonts,  from  whom  affiant  s  information,  upon  which 
he  based  said  belief,  is  derived."  These  facts  are 
not  controverted.  The  business  of  the  defendants, 
in  respect  to  which  they  were  sued,  was  that  of  com- 
mon carriers,  and  must  necessarily  have  been  con- 
ducted to  a  considerable  extent  through  agents.  len- 
der such  circumstances  their  knowle<%e  as  to  many 
of  their  transactions  would  properly  come  from  iu- 
formatlon.  If  the  facts  had  been  such  as  must 
have  been  within  their  personal  knowledge,  a 
denial  upon  Information  and  belief  might 
perhaps  have  been  properly  treated  as  evasive,  but 
here  any  presumption  of  personal  knowledge  has 
been  overcome  by  the  statements  iu  the  verification, 
and  unless  parties  under  such  circumstances  are  per- 
mitted to  qualify  their  denials,  they  will  be  com- 
pelled to  swear  positively  to  that  which  they  only 
'believe  to  be  true  because  they  have  information  to 
that  effect.  The  court  hold  that  the  denial  may  be 
none  the  less  specific  when  made  on  informatiou  and 
belief,  and  that  in  this  case  it  w^  sufficient.  Re- 
versed,   The  Chief -Justice  delivered  the  opinion.

which  18  r-  gular  in  f<Hin  cannot  be  heard  in  opposi-

the  opposite  party,  unless  it  appeJura  that  the  pro- 
ceedings in  remo\ing  the  cause  were  unauthorized  or 
irregular.  They  may  be  heard  in  support  of  the  de- 
ci*ee,  and  in  opposition "  to  every  assignment  of  error 
filed  by  the  appellants.  (The  WilUam  Bagalev.  5

vor of  the  libellont  In  the  DlstrictCourt  for  a  salvage 
service  in  saving  goods  at  sea.  this  court  held,  on 
appeal  here  by  tlie  owners  of  the  goods,  that  the  de- 
cree was  conclusive  upon  the  libellont  as  t*i  the 
amount  of  salvage  awarded;  that  he  could  not,  in 
tlie  Appellate  Court,  claim  anything  beyond  that 
amount,  since  he  had  not.  by  any  appeal  on  his  part, 
controverted  its  sufficiency.  (8  Id..  10.)  Compen- 
sation Is  claimed  by  the  owner  of  the  steam-ship 
Carolina  from  the  schooner  Stephen  Morgan,  her 
apparel,  tackle,  and  fumittire,  for  injuries  caxised  to 
the  steam-ship  by  the  schooner  in  a  collision  which 
occurred  between  the  two  vessels  during  the  earlv 
morning  of  the  3d  of  October.  1672.  in  the 
lower  part  of  Chesapeake  Bayi  whereby,  as 
the  appellant  allies,  the  steamer  was  damaged 
to  the  araotmt  of  from  $12,000  to  §115,000. 
Detailed  description  of  the  circumstances  is  given  in 
the  libel,  from  which  it  appears  that  the  steamer,  a 
vessel  of  1.100  tons  burden,  with  a  cargo  of  com, 
was  bound  down  the  bay  on  a  voyage  from  the  port 
of  Baltimore  to  Queenstown,  Ireland,  for  orders,  and 
that  the  schooner,  a  vessel  of  259  tons,  in  ballast. 
was  bound  up  the  bay  on  a  voyage  from  the  port  of 
New-York  to  the— -port  of  Georeetown  in 
this  District.  Both  the  steamer"  and  the 
schooner  were  in  a  seaworthy  condition, 
well  manned  and  equipped,  and  'the  evidence 
shows  that  they  had  competent  lookouts  aud  that 
their  Big!  al  lights  were  properlv  displayed.  The 
ct>lliBion  was  caused  by  mutual  blunders,*  and  the 
court  divided  the  damages  between  the  parties.  The 
Circuit  reduced  the  damages  and  otherwise  affirmed 
the  decree.  The  respondent  appealed,  but  the 
libellant  acquiesced.  The  decree  is  here  affirmed 
Mr.  Justice  Clifford  delivered  the  opinion. 

SAILORS'  BOARDIXG.HOVSE  KEEPERS. 

The  disturbance  which  occurred  some  time 
ago  between  a  number  of  keepers  of  sailors'  board- 
ing-houses, wherein  one  man  was  pretty  roughly 
handled,  and  which  gave  rise  to  an  exciting  personal 
altercation  between  Counselors  Howe  and  Hathaway, 
in  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  was  finally  disposed  of  in 
the  Court  of  Special  Sessions  yesterday.  The  hear- 
ing of  the  case  disclosed  the  fact  that  there  Is  a 
benevolent  organization  In  the  City  that  was  not  gen- 
erally heard  of  before.  It  is  called  the  Sailors' 
Boarding-house.keepers  Benevolent  Association,  and 
it  has  its  head-quarters  somewhere  In  East  Broadway. 
According  to  the  records  in  the  Police  courts,  the 
benevolence  of  this  body  does  not  extend  beyond  its 
members,  nor  does  It  enter  into  their  business  rela- 
tions. It  is  a  matter  of  common  report  among  the 
authorities  and  among  seamen  that  the  pJnlan- 
thropy  of  the  society  Is  never  displaved 
except  when  a  member  gets  into  leeal  troutile. 
through  his  eltorts  to  induce  some  sea-faring  patron 
to  spend  all  his  money  while  ashore,  and  then  ship  him 
at  a  profit  with  some  unscrupulous  Captain.  Tlie  Spe- 
cial Sessions  Justices  were  Doth  astonished  and 
amused  when  they  were  informed  that  this  model  or- 
ganization really  had  a  corporate  existence.  The 
complainant  in  the  case  In  point  was  an  ItaUan  or 
Spaniard  named  Salvador  Grillo.  wlio  keeps  a 
boarding-house  at  No.  378  Water-street,  and 
who  appears  to  be  particularly  obnoxious 
to  the  others  in  the  business"  He  is  a 
member  of  the  benevolent  association,  and  attendi-d 
a  recent  meeting.  Schemes  were  set  on  foot  there 
for  the  further  enslavement '  of  unsuspecting  Jack 
Tar  to  which  even  Grillo  could  not  give  assent,  and 
the  result  was  a  ceneral  row.  in  which  he  was  un- 
mercifully noimded  by  a  number  of  Ms  fellow  bentv. 
oleut  members.  He  had  four  of  the  latter  arreste<l, 
named  Charles  H.  Smith.  M'illiam  Churchill, 
William  -Jenkins.  and  James  Breen,  all  of 
whom  keep  places  in  the  purlieus  adjacent 
to  the  rivers.  Yesterday  the  defendants  and  the 
President  of  the  association  swore  to  an  entirely 
different  set  of  circtmistances.  They  asserted  that 
Grillo  disturbed  the  serenity  and  insulted  the  dignity 
of  the  benevolent  meeting  by  his  intoxicated  and  un- 
parliamentary conduct,  and"  that  be  threatened  to 
gouge  out  a  man's  eye  with  nn  umbrella  becau-<^  he 
ventured  to  suggest  that  he  was  not  entitled  to  the 
fioor  when  some  momentous  question  affecting  the 
value  that  should,  as  a  general  thing,  be  placed  on 
sailor  clothes  seized  for  board,  was  before  the  assem- 
bly. Five  against  one  was  ft  greater  preponderance 
of  testimony  than  the  court  could  stand,  and  the 
prisoners  Avere  discliarged. 

THE  DAXSER  WILL  CASE. 

The  motion  for  an  alternative  mandamus 
requiring  Surrogate  Calvin  to  admit  to  probate  the 
will  of  Miss  Mary  M.  Donser,  the  daughter  of  >Ia- 
thias  Danser,  the  gambler  miLlouaire,  or  to  show 
cause  why  he  should  not  do  so,  wns  called  on  for 
hearing  yesterday,  before  Judge  Westbrook,  in  Su- 
preme Court.  (Cambers.  Mr.  Anthony  R.  Dyett  ap- 
peared for  Mr.  Thomas  F.  Jeremiah,  the  Executor  and 
proponent  of  the  will :  Messrs.  William  O.  and  Clif- 
ford A-  H.  Baitlett  for  Smith  J.  Danser,  the  uncle  of 
Mlsa  Danser,  and  the  other  contestants;  and 
Mr.  Algernon  S.  SulliMin  for  certain  of 
the  institutions  made  lepitees  under  the  T\-iU. 
Mr.  Dyett  was  about  explaiuing  his  reasons  for  desir- 
ine  the  immediate  probate  of  the  will,  which  were 
suDstxmtially  of  the  same  character  which  he  had 
advanced  before  the  Snrro^to.  and  which  have 
already  been  published,  when  Judge  Westbrook  said 
that  it'  would  require  too  much  time  at  tlie  present 
term  of  the  court  to  give  proper  attention  to  so  im- 
portant a  case,  and  that  a  case  was  never  so  well  de- 
termined as  when  a  Judge  took  full  time  to  consider 
it  and  thoroughiv  understood  it.  Mr.  Dvett  said  that 
there  were  $250,000  of  undisputed  legacies  under 
the  will,  among  which  were  two,  of  $5,000  each,  to 
old  ladies,  who  might  not  live  to  receive  their  bequests 
if  the  probate  of  the  will  should  be  greatly  pi-ocr&s- 
tinated.  It  was  finally  arranged,  with  the  consent  of 
all  parties,  that  the  hearing  should  be  set  down  for 
the  first  Mondav  of  next  mouth,  with  the  understand- 
ing that  it  should  then  be  progressed  with  all  the  ex- 
p^tlon  that  the  nature  of  the  case  will  admit  of.

A  WIDE  AWAKE  OFFICER, 
Officer  Beltore.  of  the  Fourteenth  Precinct, 
had  a  day  off  yesterday,  and  while  going  home  in  a 
street  car  he  saw  a  young  fellow  walking  along  the 
Bowerj'  in  a  very  suspicious  manner  with  a  nice  over- 
coat across  his  arm.  Tne  officer  left  the  car  and 
watched  him.  Soon  he  saw  the  man  enter  a  pawn- 
broker's, and  he  followed  him  with  the  intention  of 
arresting  him  on  suspicion.  The  suspected  party 
showed  tight,  and  for  a  time  the  pawn  office  was  the 
scene  of  a  vigorous  tussle,  in  which  the  officer  wa^* 
ultimatelv  vii-iorious.  As  he  was  about  taking  his

DOXABVES  SURETIES  REJECTED, 
Mr.  Denis  McMahon,  a  lawyer,  and  Mr.  John 
Swinton.  Chairman  of  the  late  Tompkins-squar? 
labor  meeting,  aiipeared  before  Judge  I>onohue  yes- 
terday, in  company  with  Gen.  Roger  A.  Pryor,  of 
counsel  for  B.  J.  Donahue,  to  be  examined  as  to  their 
sufficieucv  as  sureties  on  Donahue's  bond,  which  he 
was  required  to  give  in  $2,(X)0  in  the  proceedings 
instituted  against  him  for  alleged  contempt  In  resist- 
ing the  Receiver  of  the  Erie  Railway.  Mr.  McMahon 
was  rejected  under  the  rule  excluding  an  attorney  or 
counselor  at  law  from  becoming  surety.  Mr.  Swin- 
ton said  he  was  not  quite  sure  whether  he  owned  any 
real  estate  or  pot.  He  had  owned  some  lots  in 
Kansas,  but  they  might  have  been  forfeited  for  taxes. 
He  was  also  rejected. 

THE  TERRORS  OF  TSE  LAW. 
Sirs.  Kearney  and  Mr.-?.  Smith  appeared  be- 
fore Justice  Kilbreth,  in  the  Essex  Market  Court, 
yesterday,  and  each  related  in  detail  the  abuse  and 
insult  received  from  the  other.  Each  was  accompa- 
nied bv  a  witness,  and  It  appeared  evident  that  all 
si»oke  "the  truth  except  in  denying  the  allegations  of 
each  other.  HaWng  listened  to  the  stories  with 
much  patience,  the  Judge  impressively  delivered  his 
decree  as  follows:  "You.  Mrs.  Kearney,  and  you, 
Mrs.  Smith,  are  each  of  you  placed  under  $500 
bonds  to  keep  the  peace  for  six  months,  and  If  either 
of  you  ftpeaks  to  the  other  within  that  time  you  will 
both  of  you  po  to  the  Island  for  one  year.  Go '"  And 
they  went,  fully  impressed  with  the  terrors  Of  the  law.

AX  IMPRISOXED  BRIDEGROOM. 
James  O'Neill,  a  boy,  ^was  married  recently, 
and  his  father,  Comeilus,  who  had  refused  his  con- 
sent to  the  marriage,  took  his  son  home  soon  .after 
the  ceremony  was  performed,  and  has  kept  himthere 
since,  much  to  the  disgust  of  the  son  and  his  yonnj 
bride.  A  petition  wa.**  submitted  yesterday  to  Judge 
Westbrook  bv  the  bride  for  a  wnt  of  ba1>eas  corpus 
requiring  her  father-in-law  to  produce  her  young  hus-

The  writ  was  granted  and  made  returnable  to-day  in

The  Signal  Senice  Bureau  reports  indicate 
far  to-day  in  the  Middle  States,  lower  lake 
region,  and  Xeur-England,  rising  barometer, 
north  and  icest  icinds,  and  cooler,  clear,  or 
partly  cloudy  iceather. 


It  U  obvious  that  the  Ktiitsiaus  have  re- 
eeived  a  check  in  thoir  advance  through 
Turkey  in  Europe  almost  as  JeciJeJ  as  that 
eneouutere4  '"  -Asia.  The  advauce  guard 
which  had  penetrated  south  of  the  Bal-, 
lians  is  to  bo  recalled,  the  venturesome 
General  whu  led  that  advance  is  to  be  re- 
place J.  and  the  entire  force  oE  the  Empire  i.s 
to  be  tlevo'ed  to  the  complete  subjugation  of 
Bulgaria  and  its  fortresses.  All  this  is  sug- 
gestivx'  of  a  hoilowucssin  the  Russian  military 
or,roiiizatioii  lianlly  less  fatal  than  that 
vhich  left  Krauce  i>rostrate  before  the  Ger- 
iiiiin  invader.  Only  it  happens  that  the 
Turkish  system  is  a  trifle  more  rotten,  and 
that  its  temporary  succes.ses  are  due  to  the 
estelleut  quality  of  the  Turkish  infantry, 
aiid  are  achieved  in  spite  of  the  corruption 
and  incapacity  of  most  of  its  native  leaders. 
The  Russians  cannot  afford  to  rest  under 
any  such  repulses  as  those  they  have  lately 
received,  and  tho  next  chapter  of  the  war  is 
certain  to  i>e  tnore  Btirring  and  sanguinary 
than  the  last. 


Greece  is  preparing  for  war.  It  is  not 
certain  whether  the  entire  Army  of  fourteen 
thousand  iiu-n  will  Ije  mobilized,  nor  whether 
the  Koyal  Navy, which  is  considerably  smaller 
than  that  of  Peru,  will  be  put  in  commis- 
f^iou.  But  war  is  to  be  dechired,  and  the 
Btalf  officers  for  the  various  branches  of 
military  service  have  been  named.  It  is 
not  likely  that  all  this  preparation  will  canfy 
confusion  and  dismay  into  the  Turkish  camp. 
But  Greece,  weak  though  she  is  in  all  tho 
means  and  appliances  for  agj^essive  war- 
f!ir>-,  can  make  enough  stir  on  the  frontier 
to  annoy  Turkey.  The  war  fever  is  cer- 
ti.inly  spreading  when  Greece  begins  to 
flfurbish  up  her  arms  and  Sweden  seriously 
considers  defensive  measures. 


We  imagine  that  very  few  of  our  readers 
think  that  there  is  but  one  side  to  the 
problem  of  the  labor  strike:^  To  all, 
whether  or  not  they  need  conviction  (m 
this  point,  we  recommend  the  perusal  of  tho 
dispatch  from  our  correspondent  at  Scranton. 
It  gives  dispassionately  and  clearly,  an  ac- 
count of  the  differences  as  presented  by  the 
miners,  and  we  venture  to  say  that  few 
people  can  read  their  complaints  withr 
out  feeling  that  some  of  tho  great 
employers  of  labor  will  have  a 
good  deal  to  answer  for  when  tho  responsi- 
bility for  the  late  riots  has  been  duly  appor- 
tioned. In  any  case,  it  is  the  part  of  reason- 
able men  to  discover  the  causes  of  so  unusual 
an  outburst  of  exasperated  feeling  as  that 
which  we  have  just  witnessed,  and  to  dis- 
cover what  remedies  can  be  provided 
against  its  recurrence.  To  the  understand- 
ing of  both  our  special  dispatch  lends  very 
obvious  aid. 


VTe  fear  that  the  World  is  in  a  fair  way  to 
incur  thecoudemnation  of  Kelly  and  Tam- 
many Hall.  It  quotes  with  approval  the 
Posts  statement  that  "the  notion  of  electing 
Eepublicaiis  to  (local)  office  must  be 
giveu  over,"  and  it  suggests  that  the 
Kelly  dictatorship  is  a  thing  to 
be  tolerated  merely  on  good  behavior.  Wo 
imagined  that  all  Tammany  organs  under- 
stood the  necessity  of  ridiculing  any  coali- 
tion, between  Republicans  and  Independent 
Democrats,  and  obeyed  the  word  of  order  to 
urgo  a  "straight  Republican  ticket"  as  the 
only  proper  and  dignified  course  for  the 
partjy  which  has  it  in  its  power  to  make 
very  short  work  of  Kelly  &  Co.  by  support- 
ingvhonest  Democrats  for  local  offices.  We 
should  therefore  infer  that  the  World  was 
not  a  Kelly  organ,  but  for  its  remark  that 
"  'New-York  cannot  expect  its  City  Govem- 
zoent  to  be  better  than  the  average  of  those 
igba   naka   that   CrOTemment.''     We  fear 


that  thia  is  a  covert  way  of  accepting 
Kelly,  Pubeoy,  and  Cbokee  as  the  only 
practicable  rulers  of  the  foremost  munici- 
pality on  the  continent.  The  Wvrld  has, 
before  now,  been  mistaken  in  ' '  the  average" 
conscience  and  undCTstahding  of  the  Xew- 
York  voter,  and  i^  exceedingly  likely  to  be 
so  again.  i 


It  is  a  little  amusing  to  find  the  T>-ibune 
undertaking  Democratic  work  of  which  tie 
World  is  somewhat  ashamed.  Probably  the 
member  of  the  Tammany  Society  who  is 
understood  to  have  some  influence  over 
the  local  intelligenae  of  the  Tribune  gave 
Mr.  Hejjry  L.  Clikton  a  chance  of 
airing  in  its  columns  of  yesterday 
some  preposterous  nonsense  about  the 
prosi)ects  of  the  Fall  campaign.  To  the 
best  of  our  knowledge,  Mr.  CLnrroN  has  be- 
trayed every  cause  which  he  ever  espoused, 
and  it  would,  not  be  surprising  if  he 
should  add  to!  his  political  aposta- 
sies that  of  infidelity  to  the  cause 
of  Kelly.  Meanwhile  that  remarkable 
person,  who  escaped  the  fate  of  becoming  a 
Trappist  Monk  to  be  translited  to  the  posi- 
tion of  a  Cardinal's  nephew.  City  Con- 
troller, and  head  of  the  Democratic  Party 
in  New^-York,  has  in  Mr.  Clinton  one 
of  his  most  ardent  advocates.  He  is,  it 
appears,  giving  us  a  "  cheap  Government," 
some  of  whose  features  are  a  donation  of 
$15,000  to  "  ToM"4JnNLAP,  and  fees  mod- 
erately estimated  at  $30,000  a  year  to 
"  Dick"  Croker,  for  difcig  absolutely  noth- 
ing. , 


EAILBOADS  AXD  STATES. 
■  We  ought  not  to  wonder  if  at  the  outset 
of  a  discussion  of  the  relations  of  railroads 
to  the  National  Government  crude  proposi- 
tions find  favor  among  the  people.  The 
subject  is  in  this  country  a  new  one.  The 
suggestion  that  Federal  authority  shall  in- 
terfere at  all  with  railroads  is  in  some 
quarters  resented  as  an  invasion  of 
the  sovereignty  of  States,'  and  by 
the  railroads  as !  an  attack  upon 
their  chartered  privileges.  The  dis- 
trust entertained  toward  tho  Government 
service  generally  and  the  belief  that  that 
service,  if  extended  to  railroads,  would  be 
neither  efficient  nor  economical,  undoubt- 
edly contribute  to  the  adverse  feelUsg  tbftt 
exists.  An  inherited  jealousy  of  Federal 
power  thus  operates  in  conjunction  with  the 
prevalent  want  of  faith  in  the  capacity 
and  integrity  of  the  civil  service,  and 
prejudices  the  question.  And  yet  there  can 
be  no  doubt  that  the  events  of  the  last  fort- 
night have  not  .only  disturbed  the  tradi- 
tional reverence  for  State  pretensions  but 
have  demonstrated  the  insufficiency  o^  the 
restraints  imposed  by  States  upon  the  or- 
ganization, expansion,  and  management  of 
railroads.  Local  authority  has  not  passed 
triumphantly  tlirougU  the  ordeal.  The  crim- 
inal violence  of  the  strikers  has  not  blinded 
the  public  to  tho  causes  of  railroad 
embarrassments  or  the  narrow  no- 
tions of  responsibility  that  are  ap- 
parent in  the  policy  of  companies. 
We  catch  a  glimpse  of  tho  result  in  the  reso- 
lution adopted  by  tho  Ohio  Republican  Con- 
vention. The  resolution  itself  is  ill-digested 
and  in  some  of  its  essentials  impracticable. 
It  may  look  a  little  too  mucli  like  an  attempt 
to  pander  to  the  unwholesome  passions  of 
the  moment.  It  is  nevertheless  significant 
as  the  testimony  of  partisan  managers 
against  the  present  railroad  system  and  iii 
favor  of  important  li>gislative  changes.  The 
weakness  of  details  embotlied  in  the  propo- 
sition is  immaterial.  The  fact  to  be  remem- 
bered is,  that  the  railroad  ijuestion  promises 
to  become  an  element  in  national  politics 
and  to  lead  to  au  enlargement  of  the  powers 
and  duties  of  the  Government  in  a  direction 
where  States  and  corporations  have  been 
supreme.  i 

Business  exigencies  and  individual  greed 
and  ambition  have  revolutionized  the  con- 
ditions of  railroad  mauagement.  We  have 
■■  railroad  systems"  instead  of  railroads,  and 
tiio  head  of  each  system  is  in  his  way 
kingly  and  despotic.  The  Peunsylvaniia 
Railroad,  for  instance,  not  content  with  ab- 
solute sway  ill  the  State  from  which  it  dii- 
rived  its  original  pilivileges,  or  with  the 
virtual  ownership  of  the  Legislature  to 
which  it  turns  for  local  laws,  has  grown 
into  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  system,  and 
issues  orders  that  are  obeyed  in  we  know 
not  how  many  different  States.  When  it 
needs  an  increase  of  power,  it  sends  to  Har- 
risburg  and  gets  all  it  wants.  It  creates  inside 
corporations — corporations  within  itself — 
and,  generally,  moves  in  mysterious  ways  its 
financial  w^ondera  to  perform.  It  divides 
and  subdivides  for  purposes  known  only  to 
its  managers.  It  waters  its  stock,  goes  on 
piling  up  its  bonded  indebtedness,  leases 
other  railroads  and  guarantees  thoir  bonds, 
makes  contracts  and  respects  or  repudiates 
them  at  pleasiu'e,  and,  withal,  assumes  im- 
perial airs  in  dealing  iwith  its  workmen  and 
the  public.  Who  jcah  pretend  that  an  or- 
ganized money  and  business  power  like 
this  should  be  subject  only  to  the  control 
of  a  Legislature  which  it  carries  in 
its  pocket  i — that  a  power  which  has  at  its 
beck  and  call  an  army  of  voters,  and  a  pat- 
ronage equal  to  that  possessed  by  the  Gov- 
ernments of  half  a  dozen  populous  States, 
shoidd  be  indepehdent  of  all  regulations 
save  those  made  by  the  States  in  which  its 
influence  is  felt  ?  Some  of  its  remote  tribu- 
taries may  have  suffered  from  ' '  Grangers' 
laws,"  in  themselves  arbitrary  and  unjust. 
These,  however,  are  exceptionsT  Taken 
altogether,  the  Peun^lvauia  Railroad  sys- 
tem, so-called,  is  a  stupendous  illustra- 
tion of  arrogance  and  monopoly.  Instead 
of  being  the  creature  of  States,  it  has  be- 
come their  master.  It  disciimiuates  against 
one  set  of  business  interests  and  in  favor  of 
others,  and  local  authority  looks  on  in 
silence.  It  punishes  this  community  for  in- 
dependence and  rewards  that  for  subser- 
viency, ai'ii  people  are  expected  to  go  on 
thejr  knees  and  worship  the  wisdom  by 
which  it  is  directed.  It  "cutsrateb"  and 
maintains  an  insensate  competition '  whose 
penalties  fall  upon  its  workmen,  and  then  it 
calls  for  Federal  troops  to  re-establish 
the  order  which  its  own  recklessness 
imperiled.  The  whole  thing,  from  begin- 
ning to  end,  is  anomalous  and  indefensible. 
We  single  out  the  Pennsylvania  combination 
because  more  fully  than  any  othetj  it  ex- 
emplifies the  growth  of  a  power  which,  un- 
checked, is  incompatible  with  the  freedom 
of  business  and  the  order  and  welfare  of  the 
vast  region  tliat  suffers  from  its  exercise.  But, 
after  all,  it  is  but  one  of  several  powers  of 
the  same  sort,  each  in  its  sphere  as  abso- 
lute. uu3  aa^h.  in  a  different  degree  Droving 


the  insafficienoy  of  the  checks  now  imposed 
ipon  railroad  management. 

It  is  clear  that  State  authority  cannot  be 
relied  apon  to  provide  ad'equate  remedies. 
Much  woidd  be  gained  if  through  some 
agency  each  State  exacted  from  the  compa- 
nies operating  within  its  boundaries  uni- 
form and  explicit  statements  of  their  affairs. 
We  might  then  get  to  the  bottom  of  the 
financiering  which  euables  companies  to  pay 
dividends  they  have  not  earned,  and  to  use^ 
their  bonded  debts  as  reservoirs  for 
supplying  current  funds.  There  would  then 
be  a  possibility  of  uncovering  so  much 
triith  as  to  bring  to  an  end  the  false  pre- 
tenses that  have  sei-ved  some  companies  so 
w4ll.  We  know,  too,  on  the  highest  judicial 
authority,  that  a  State  may  regulate  rates 
and  otherwise  restrain  invidious  manage- 
ment. Enough  has  been  seen,  however,  to 
justify  the  conclusion  that  these  local  regu- 
Ijations  may  be  as  unjust  and  injurious  as 
the  policy  they  are  intended  to  correct. 
Moreover,  they  necessarily  lack  the  uni- 
formity which  is  requisite!  for  the 
smooth  and  advantageous  working  of  a 
great  system.  Different  States  even  now 
have  different  railroad  laws.  A  systematic 
effort  to  render  thema  more  stringent  would 
tiel  followed  by  a  wide-spread  exercise  of 
iailroad  influence  in  the  local  Legislatures. 
What  corporate  iuUuenee  can  effect  as 
against  aggressive  efforts  at  reform,  we 
ijiaye  seen  in  this  State  in  relation  to  life 
ilnsurance.  The  insurance  interest,  vast  as 
it  is,  is  inconsiderable  compared  with  the 
railroads,  and  we  may  be  sure  that  the 
latter  will  not  be  sparing  of  their  strength 
wheu  tlie  time  comes  for  contesting  the 
title  of  States  to  make  their  supervising  and 
restraining  authority  a  reality.  For  this 
reason,  if  for  no  other,  Federal  intervention 
wiU  sooner  or  later  be  inevitable. 


XO  MORE  LAXD  TO  SELL. 

Twenty-five  or  thirty  years  ago,  a  famous 
baud  of  singei*s  used  to  chant  a  song  the  re- 
frain of  wjueh  was  to  the  effect  that  Uncle 
Sam  has  land  enough  to  give  us  all  a  farm. 
Perhaps  this  was  true  then.  And  whether 
it  was  true  or  not,  multitudes  of  people  still 
cherish  the  delusion  that  the  public  lands, 
tihat  is  to  say,  the  unpurchased  and  available 
lands  of  the  nation,  are  extensive  and  rich. 
For  a  century,  at  least,  we  have  been  in  the 
habit  of  refeniug  to  ' '  the  national  domain" 
as  an  unbounded  tract  of  arable 
liind,  laced  with  beautiful  streams,  ver- 
durous with  groves  of  timber,  rich  iu 
pasturage,  and  waiting  only  for  the  plow  of 
the  farmer  that  it  may  laugh  with  a  harvest. 
■^Vhcnever  a  State  or  an  incorporated  insti- 
tution becomes  "  hard  up,"  it  turns  its  long- 
ing eyes  toward  the  fertile  fiehls  of  the  pub- 
lic domain,  supposed  to  exist  somewliere  iu 
that  unfenccd  and  unsurveyed  region  known 
as  "Out  West."  Natural  and  legitimate 
sources  of  income  fail ;  ordinary  channels 
of  industry  do  not  yield  fructifying 
streams.  The  General  Government — the 
fond,  paternal,  indulgent  General  Goveru- 
meut — is  the  last  resource,  wheu  all  else  is 
dry. 

The  State  of  Virginia,  which  is  in  a  very 
bad  financial  condition,  is  one  of  the  latest 
to  consider  wiiat  can  be  made  out  of  the  re- 
mains of  the  much-vaunted  public  domain. 
Naturally,  the  citizens  of  the  Old  Dominio  n 
are  reluctant  to  follow  the  example  of  some 
of  the  swindling  States,  and  repudiate  their 
State  indebtedness.  There  is  yet  enough 
honor  left  in  Old  Virginia  to  stand  up 
against  the  monstrous  proposition  to  do 
by  the  .State  debt  what  no  honest 
man  would  or  could  do  by  his  own 
debt — refuse  to  pay  it,  principal  or 
interest.  In  their  sore  perplexity,  some 
of  the  Virginians  have  been  asked  to 
believe  that  the  General  Governmeut  Inis 
in  round  numbers  l,ii^i.',TS9,037  acres  of 
unoccupied  laud.  Deducting  tho  water 
iiurface,  the  arid  belts,  the  mount;iin chains, 
and  the  tracts  not  suitable  for  gra:',ing 
purposes,  it  is  argued  that  there  still  re- 
mains enough  available  land  out  of  which 
farms  coulil  be  carved,  if  distributed  in 
land  scrip,  to  pay  the  debt  of  Virginia.  It 
lis  proposed  that  the  State  "  accept  from 
the  General  Government"  a  grant  of  3,000,- 
•000  acres  for  each  Senator  and  Kepresenta- 
tive,  making  the  neat  amount  of  ;13,000,- 
000  acres,  all  told,  and  thus  pay  the  debt 
and  relievo  the  people. 
1  It  is  not   worth  while  to  make  any  com- 

tent  whatever  on  the  abstract  merits  of 
is  proposition.  It  is  foimdedon  a  popular 
delusion.  There  arc  no  grand  areas  of 
arable  land  lying  open  to  the  adventurous 
plow  of  the  settler.  Whether  wisely  or  not, 
railroad  companies  have  been  endowed  with 
inillions  of  acres  ;  land  scrip  for  educational 
and  other  purposes  has  been  used  to  cover 
other  millions  of  acres  ;  humlreds  of  thou- 
sands of  homesteads  have  been  granted 
from  the  national  domain,  and  considerable 
ti*acts  have  been  sold  for  cash,  or 
bought  under  the  acts  for  tho  en- 
com'agement  of  mining.  The  only  con- 
siderable body  of  unoccupied  land 
lying  iu  one  tract ,  is  that  which  is  drained 
by  the  headwaters  of  the  Missouri.  In 
Dakota,  Montana,  and  Wyoming  aro 
foimd  so  few  settlements  that  the  country, 
away  from  a  few  points  on  the  rivers,  may 
be  said  to  be  wholly  unoccupied.  But  the 
land,  for  the  most  part,  is  high  and  mipro- 
ductive.  The  region  is  intersected  by  deep 
gorges,  broken  by  steep^bluffs,  and  abso- 
lutely incapable  of  producing  regular  crops. 
Here  and  there  in  Wyoming,  Colorado,  New- 
Mexico,  Nevada,  and  Arizona  are  isolated 
spots  of  good  land  which  may  even- 
tually be  available  for  agricultural  pur- 
poses. Some  of  these  spots  aro  now 
in  tine  arable  condition.  But  they  are  re- 
mote from  channels  of  communication,  and 
are  surrounded  by  wild  wastes  which  may 
never  be  available  for  purposes  of  settle- 
ment. Even  the  grasping  railroad  corpora- 
tions which,  have  rmi  their  lines  through 
these  States  and  Territories  are  incumbered 
with  hundreds  of  thousands  of  acres  of 
worthless  lands  which  cUt  a  very  big  figure 
in  their  ''princely  endowment,"  and  noth- 
ing more. 

In  Nevada,  New-Mexico,  and  Arizona, 
these  fertile  spots,  though  numerous, 
derive  their  only  value  from  the  contrast  of 
the  appalling  waste  of  desert  around  them. 
A  few  thousand  acres  of  land  on  which 
bunch-grass  and  brambles  grow,  and  water 
flows,  is  a  delightful  oasis  to  the  traveler 
who  has  just  crossed  an  arid  wilderness 
Iieopled  with  horned  toads  and  rattlesnakes, 
and  sustaining  no  vegetable  growth  but  the 
tliorny  cactus.  In  Colorado, Texas,  Nebraska, 
Wyoming,  and  in  some  parts  of  New-Mexico 
aud  Arixoua,  there  ai'e  vast  ranges  of  graz- 


ing lands,  j  And  this  phrase,  "  grazing 
land,"  has  deceived'  many  into  the  belief 
that  eyentusdly  the  ranges  will  be  covered 
with  similing  farms.  This  is  impossible. 
The  ranges  where  once  fed  the  prodigiotis 
herds  of  biiffalo,  and  where  now  feed 
the  flocks  and  herds  of  the  American 
stock-raiser,  lean  never  be  farming 
lands.  I  The  nerds  of  cattle  subsist  on  the 
grass,  whichlis  green  and  succulent  in  early 
Summer,  and  dry,  sun-cured,  and  notuishing 
through  all  the  rest  of  the  year.  The  cattle 
frequent  the  rivers„8eldom  straying  far  from 
the  water-courses  and  taking  refuge  in'  the 
bluffs  when  the  storms  of  Winter  rage.  But 
the  surface  'iS  treeless,  water-courses  are 
infrequent,  and  the  high,  rolling  ground  is 
as  dry  and*  brown  from  July  to  January 
as  the  Swales  of  an  African  desert. 

It  is  a  grea,t  error  to  suppose  that  such 
ranges  as  these  can  be  included  in  the  florid 
estimate  of  the  extent  of  our  arable  lands 
■with  which  an  unthinking  public  is  some- 
times regaled.  Some  of  these  days,  in  gen- 
erations yet  to  come,  irrigation  will  reclaim 
much  land  which  now  lies  useless.  Before 
that  tithe  arrives,  we  shall  find  it  more 
profitable  to  irrigate  the  dry  lands  which  lie 
near  N^w-Ycirk,  Galveston,  San  Francisco, 
and  otlier  great  markets  in  various  parts  of 
the  country.  There  is  no  use  in  attempting 
to  disguise  the  fact  that  the  "  national  do- 
main" is  gone.  It  does  not  exist  as  a  fer- 
tile and  iuvjiting  field.  Much  of  it  is 
occupied  by  substantial  and  prosper- 
ous towns  anii  settlements.  Much  more  is 
available  for  the  usefid  purposes  which  we 
have  indicated.  But  it  is  folly  to  suppose 
that  the  nation  has  much  more  agricultural 
land  to  j  sell  ot  give  away. 


PETTICOAT  PEXSIOXEES. 
Among  the  better  classes  of  Europe  mar- 
riage is  largely  a  matter  of  business,  being 
entered  into  often  from  practical  and  selfish 
considerations.  A  certain  amount  of  income 
is  eonsjiderea  indis]>ensable  to  the  state, 
which  is  held  to  be  incompatible  with  pov- 
erty. Money  on  one  side  is  not  accounted 
sufScieht.  A  rich  man  is  no  more  willing. 
as  a  rule,  to  propose  to  a  poor  "girl  than  a 
rich  girl  is  to  accept  a  poor  man.  Wealth 
must  mate  with  wealth,  so  that  matrimony, 
which  might  be  wTitten  matter  of  money, 
becomes  little  better  than  a  commercial 
transaction,  the  partners  to  which  overlook 
want  of  spiritual  adaptation  in  view  of 
financial  fitness.  For  a  man  to  pay  court  to 
an  heiress,  hoping  to  win  her  because  she  is 
an  heiress,  is|  regarded  over  there  as  rather 
creditable  than  otherwise,  and  success  in 
such  ente -prise  is  reckoned  as  a  feather  in 
his  cap.  In  other  wortls,  fortune-hunting  is 
legitimate,  and  meets  the  approval  of  so- 
ciety,  i    ■    II    ,, 

In  the  Uiiifed  States' the  case  is  quite 
different.  I  \Vhile  there  are  fortune-hunters 
here,  they  are  never  respected,  and  when 
known  to  be  puch  their  chances  of  victory 
in  connubial  campaigns  are  very  slight. 
The  uaJional|  notions  on  the  subject  of  mar- 
riage ;are  ,  Exceedingly  romantic,  while 
they  are  more  delicate  and  chivalrous,  in 
the  main,  than  they  are  in  the  Old  World. 
We  look  at  marriage  from  the  sentimental 
side  ;  we  make  passion  a  valid  e-xcuse  for 
its  commission,  -discarding  weightier  aud 
nitioual  considerations.  If  either  party 
have  money,  well  and  good ;  if  neither 
party  have  it,  well  and  good  also.  The  pecu- 
niary aspect  of  the  ([Uestion  seldom  enters 
into  it.'  But  wheu  it  does,  wo  have  a  feel- 
ing that  property,  as  well  as  the  capacity  of 
earningr,  should  lie  with  the  man.  .Work  of 
some  kind  is  jdeemed  a  duty  here  ;  the  idea 
of  work  mayi  be  said  to  be  at  the  base  of 
the  Republic,  and  men  who  have  no  regular 
occupation  are  subject  to  a  certain  dis- 
psteem*  Women  are  not  expected  to  have  ' 
any  employment  that  brings  iu  money — 
they  ifteu  do  have  such  emplojinent 
thoiighl  and  are  respected  therefor — the 
general  opiuiou-  being  th-at  they  should  bo 
financially  dependent  on  their  fathers  or 
husbahds.  But  when  their  fathers  or  hus- 
bands, umless  by  reason  of  age  or  ill  health, 
aro  dedendent  on  them,  the  natural  order  is 
reversed^  aud  discredit  attaches  to  the  men, 
who,  imder  ordinary  circumstances,  are 
ju.stly  supposed  to  be  able  to  take  care  of 
themselves,  and  also  of  those  naturally 
belonging  to  them. 

~It  is  this  belief  and  the  feeling  that  springs 
from  it  which  in  this  country  make  the  posi-* 
tion  of  the  husband  of  a  rich  woman  very 
awkward  aud  liable  to  siLspicion.  He  may 
have  force  of  character,  fine  sensibility,  high 
sense  of  honor ;  but  it  can  al-.vays  be  charged 
that  ho  !  has  been  influenced  by  mer- 
cenary motives ;  that  he  has  bartered 
his  individuality  for  a  mess  of  mone- 
tary pottage.  And  the  charge  is  certain  to 
be  made,  and,  imhappily,  is  pretty  apt  to  bo 
believed,  at  least  in  some  quarters.  It  seems 
hard  that  a  man,  when  he  really  loves  a 
woman  and  is  loved  in  return,  should  be  pre- 
vented from  marrying  her  for  the  reason 
that  she  is  wealthy  aud  he  is  not.  If  he  is 
80  prevented,  the  cause  is  ungenerous,  for 
it  places  her  property  above  herself,  which 
is  the  precise  thing  he  is  anxious  to  avoid 
the  appearance  of  doing.  If  a  woman  be 
willing  to  jbestow  herself  on  a  man,  to  trust 
him  •with  her  hapjiiness,  to  nxake  him  the 
arbiter  I  of  her  destiny,  it  would  seem  inex- 
plicable to  heir  that  she  should  be  declined  in 
consequence  of  her  portion.  To  urge  her 
possessions  as  a  hindrance  to  her  posses- 
sion would  be  very  likely  to  stiike  her  as  a 
shallowl  subterfuge.  He  cares  nothing  for 
me,  she  would  say ;  he  tries  to  hide  his  want 
of  affection  bjt  a  pretense  ef  chivalry. 

But  a  man  of  delicacy  and  pride — it  might 
be  a  morbid  delicacy  and  a  false  pride — 
woiUd  hold  a  different  view.  He  would  look 
at  the  matter  through  others'  eyes ;  he 
would  have  a  dread  of  beingmisunderstood ; 
he  woiild  see  the  inconveniences,  impedi- 
ments, humiliations  that  would  follow  such 
a  marriage.  He  would  feel  that  the  mate- 
rial  things — and  they  are  many  aud  most 
important — ^whieh  enter  into  wedlock  should 
come  from :  the  nian,  not  the  woman ; 
and  that  coming  from  the  woman,  they  in- 
fringe his  dignity  and  lower  his  self-esteem. 
His  assiociates  might  laugh  at  the  notion 
that  a  pretty  and  charming  girl  should  bo 
relinquished  because  she  had  the  misfor- 
tune to  jown  an  income ;  and  he  might  de- 
tect a  spice  of  the  ridiculous  in  the  present- 
ment ;  but  he  would  be  inclined  to  cleave 
to  his  opinion  notwithstauding.  He  would 
remember  an  ugly  word  appUed  to  the  hus- 
bands of  rich  women,  and  the  mere  thought 
of  being  called  a  petticoat  pensioner  would 
redden  ;:  his  oheek  with  shame.  He  would 
run  over  in  ,lus  mind  the  men  of  his  ac- 
quaintajice  who  hadi  wedd  aH  wAalth.  ajad  re- 


flecting on  their  character  or  the  irant  of 
it,  and  the  ultimate  eflfect  of  snch  iveddings 
upon  them,  he  would  hardly  be  encouraged 
to  follow  their  example. 

Some  one  might  say  to  him  that  the  fact 
of  his  having  a  wife  in  affluent  circumstances 
need  not  interfere  with  his  independence 
and  mode  of  li'ving;  that  he  could  go  on 
earning  his  $3,000,  $4,000,  or  $5,000  a 
year,  and  she  could  spend  her  income  of  five 
or  ten  times  the  amoimt  on  herself.  It  might 
be  whispered  that,  to  save  his  pride,  she 
would  accommodate  herself  to  his  circum- 
stances, surrender  her  luxury  for  his 
competence,  and  that  there  should  be 
no  change  of  surroundings  despite  the 
acquisition  of  fortune.  He  would  be  un- 
wise to  believe  it.  Such  experiments 
have  been  tried,  and  they  have  always 
proved  melancholy  failures.  The  bridal 
couple,  so  much  absorbed  in  one  another  as 
to  render  material  living  subordinate  for  a 
time,  conform  to  the  means  of  the  husband. 
But  as  the  novelty  of  the  relation  wears  off, 
and  the  fervor  of  passion  cools,  they  bethink 
themselves  of  the  luxury  they  might  enjoy. 
If  the  man  be  obdurate,  and  protests  against 
the  increase  of  expense  as  reflecting  on  him 
— something  he  is  not  very  likely  to  do — he 
will  be  told  that  his  obduracy  is  tyrannical  ; 
that  for  the  sake  of  his  wretched  vanity  he 
compels  his  wife  to  a  self-sacrifice  for  which 
there  is  no  excuse.  He  may  hold  out  for  a 
while  ;  but  if  he  be  of  any  ordinary  mold, 
he  yields  completely,  and  becomes  the  sub- 
stance of  the  shadow  he  so  feared-7-a  petti- 
coat pensioner. 

However  it  may  be  abroad,  men  who 
marry  heiresses  in  this  country,  whether  in 
hot  blood  or  cold,  seldom  amount  to  much 
afterward.  Ease  and  ceaseless  temptations 
to  pleasure  enfeeble  their  energies  and 
their  ambition.  They,  know  that  they  are 
spoken  of  as  having  parted  with  a  portion 
of  their  individuality,  of  having  compro- 
mised with  their  own  ideals,  and  be  this 
true  or  false,  it  is  dispiriting  and  injurious. 
They  are  apt  in  due  time  to  be  what  it  is 
thought  they  are.  Husbands  of  rich 
women  have  achieved  a  great  deal,  but  their 
achievement  usually  ends  with  their  mar- 
riage. Sensitive  young  men  need  not  fear 
breaking  the  hearts  of  charming  heiresses, 
who  as  a  rule,  it  must  be  allowed,  part  from 
impecunious  suitors  with  an  anguish  that 
admits  of  mitigation. 


A  REPRESEXTATirE  AMERICAX. 

The  life  of  Wh-liam  B.  Ogden,  which 
closed  at  High  Bridge  yesterday,  not  only 
covers  a  large  portion  of  American  history, 
but  has  been  closely  identified  with  some 
of  the  most  important  industrial  develop- 
ments of  the  last  half  century.  Bom  at  the 
beginning  of  Jefferson's  second  term,  he 
reached  man's  estate  when  JoECS  QciNCY 
Adams  was  President  of  the  United  States. 
He  was  buying' land  at  and  near  the  present 
site  of  Chicago  when  the  place  of  the  fu- 
ture city  was  marked  only  by  Fort  Dearborn 
and  a  few  huts,  and  wheu  the  land  which 
bears  some  of  the  costliest  buildings  of  the 
metropolis  of  the  West  could  be  had  for  a 
few  dollars  an  acre.  His  observing  eye 
took  in  the  future  development  of  the 
great  North-west  while  as  yet  the  Indian 
paddled  his  canoe  on  Lake  Michigan,  and 
the  traveler  had  to  pass  through  the  villages 
of  populous  tribes  of  red  men  to  penetrate 
into  Wisconsin  or  to  reach  the  banks  of  the 
Mississippi.  He  looked  over  the  West- 
ern country  with  the  perceptive  faculty 
of  a  trained  man  of  business  when  there 
were  little  more  than  a, 000  persons  be- 
tween Lake  Michigan  and  the  Pacific,  and 
he  lived  to  see  the  population  of  that  por- 
tion of  the  countryjincreased  more  than 
two  thousand  fold.  Tie  was,  iu  one  respect, 
the  Astor  of  Chicago,  only  hife  practice  dif- 
fered from  our  great  holders  of  real  estate 
in  selling  whenever  he  had  the  chance,  and 
buying  back  again  at  greatly  enhanced  fig- 
ures when  he  believed  it  to  be  profitable  or 
expedient. 

Mr.  Oqden's  career  was  full  of  suggestive 
contrasts  to  an  extent  which  is  found  in  the 
life  of  but  few  men  of  business.  He  was 
the  first  Mayor  of  Chicago,  and  he  was  one 
of  the  chief  sufferers  from  the  fire  which 
threatened  to  terminate  the  existence  of  the 
city  over  whose  development  he  had  watched 
so  sedulously.  Wo  know  of  nothing 
more  dramatic  in  the  history  of  commercial 
trials  and  triumphs  than  his  experience  in 
the  great  fire.  He  reached  Chicago  to  find 
not  only  that  his  great  lumber  yard  had 
been  burned  out,  but  that  every  ves- 
tige of  its  contents  had  been  blown 
away  by  the  hurricane  which  followed 
in  the  track  of  the  fire.  The  extent  of  that 
disaster,  and  its  accompanying  losses  from 
the  destruction  of  buildings  which  he  owned 
in  whole  or  in  part,  had  hardly  been  realized 
before  the  news  of  the  forest  fires  of 
Wisconsin  broke  suddenly  upon  him. 
Peshtigo  was  the  centre  of  that  great 
conflagration,  and  was  also  the  seat 
of  Mr.  Ogdek's  saw  mills  and  Imn- 
ber  business.  Thus  "  at  one  feU  swoop" 
went  a  large  part  of  his  property  and 
his  wealth,  but  these  accumulated  misfor- 
tunes fell  upon  a  man  who  was  something 
more  than  a  mere  money-grubber,  and  whose 
practical  instincts  combined  with  his  feel- 
ings of  humanity  nerved  him  to  the  ef- 
fort of  repairing  a  work  of  devastation 
and  ruin  which  might  well  have  undamited 
the  most  stoical  of  men.  When  the  Ameri- 
can Defoe  shall  arise  to  relate  the  details  of 
the  Chicago  fire  and  the  yet  unrecorded  hor- 
rors of  the  more  terrible  flame  that  swept 
the  pine  forests  of  Wisconsin,  the  name  of 
William  B.  Ogden  will  have  a  distinguished 
l)lace  among  the  men  who  were  tirst  to  re- 
member in  that  double  ruin  the  American 
spirit  of  hopefulness  and  self-help. 

In  the  development  of  the  railroad  system 
of  the  country,  Mr.  Ogden  has  been  one  of 
the  foremost  and  most  potent  of  coad- 
jutors. The  Times  has  before  now  had  oc- 
casion to  criticise  methods  of  railroad  re- 
construction with  which  he  was  identified, 
and  may  have  occasion  to  do  so  again.  But 
the  most  censorious  criticism  cannot  de- 
prive him  of  the  credit  of  being  one  of  the 
most  enterprising  and  far-seeing  of  the 
railroad  magnates  who  have  opened  up 
the  virgin  lands  of  the  continent  to  tho 
settler,  and  who  have  been  actuated 
as  much  by  an  abiding  faith  in 
the  future  of  his  country  as  by 
considerations  of  an  immediate  return  for 
invested  capital.  Mr.  Ogden  assumed  tho 
duties  of  active  life  before  he  was  out  of  his 
teens  ;  he  held  on  to  them,  when  other  men 
have  been  content  to  spend  years  of  quiet  and 
uneventful  leisure.  He  laidthe  foundations 
of  his  fortune  in  ODenine  ui>  to  eoouneroe  and 


to  agricnltnre  the  great  North-west,  and  he 
closed  it,  retaining  the  Presidency  of  the 
Sturgeon  Bay  Canal  Company,  ■whose  work 
is  destined  to  bring  about  a  revo- 
lution in  the  carrying  trade  between 
the  lumber  regions  of  Northern  Wis- 
consin and  Chicago,  as  well  as  to 
lend  new  facilities  and  new  safety  to  the 
general  shipping  trade  of  the  lakes.  In  him 
an  American  has  passed  away  of  a  type 
which  the  present  generation  does  not 
produce,  and  to  which  future  generations 
will  yield  a  degree  of  homage  that  we  are 
but  partially  able  to  appreciate.

"  has  no  load  to  carrj-  "  in  any  of  its  candidates. 

Without  desiring  to  be  cruel-minded,  the

Gen.  John  L.  Swift,  of  Boston,  was  so  long 
accustomed  to  stump-speaking  that  he  sometimes 
momentarily  forgets  himself  in  the  pulpit.  On  a  re-

Hon.  Alexander  H.  Stephens,  in  a  recent  let-

only  repeat  wha{  I  said  before,  (then  contingently, 
but  now  positively,)  that,  in  my  opinion,  a  refusal  to 
pay  them  is  nothing  short  of  public  swindling,  not 
less  infamous  than  the  obtainment  of  money  by  an 
individual  upon  false  pxttenses  and  representations." 

Mayor  Stokley,  of  Philadelphia,  has  been 
petitioned  to  appoint  a  colored  man  on  the  Police

Although  there  were  fewer  deaths  of  children 
in  Philadelphia  last  month  than  in  July,  1S76,  yet 
the  proportion  to  the  whole  number  of  deaths  was 
larger.  Thus,  in  July,  1876,  there  were  2,523 
deaths,  of  which  1,288  (51  per  cent.)  were  of  chil- 
dren under  2  years  of  age.  In  July,  1877.  there  were

also  made  this  sup^stion  ;  "  Fitz  Greene  Halleck 
wrote  a  poem  on  '  The  Field  of  the  Grounded  Arms.'

The  Constitutional  Convention  in  Geoi^a 
does  seem  to  be  a  very  slow  body.  Tlie  Atlanta; 
Cofistitittion  of  the  1st  thus  complains  :  "Yesterday' 
was  the  eighteenth  day  of  actual  session,  and  yet  only 
three  short  articles  have  been  adopted— that  relating 
to  the  militia,  to  the  elective  franchise,  and  to  counties 
and  county  officers.  This  is  the  sum  total  of  work 
completed.  These  three  weeks  have  exhausted  the 
last  dollar  of  the  foim  appropriated  by  the  Legisla- 
ture :  and  the  work,  judging  from  the  results  of  yes- 
terday, is  but  fairly  begun." 

In  his  letter,  elsewhere  alluded  to.  Judge  Foot, 
of  this  State,  says ;  "I  am  credibly  iufomied  that  the 
Democratic  Governor  of  one  of  our  States,  whose 
chief  city  was  threatened  with  violence,  in  answer  to 
a  suggestion  that  it  would  be  w.^U  to  write  to  Presi- 
dent Hayes  and  inform  him  of  the  apprehended 
danger,  that  he  might  be  prepared  to  meet  it  if  hia 
aid  was  asked,  declined  to  do  ho;  saying  that  if  he  did 
he  would  thereby  acknowledge  iiim  to  be  Pi*esident, 
which  he  had  alwaj-s  denied.  Yet,  when  the  riot 
came,  and  before  making  suitable  efforts  to  suppress 
it,  that  scrupulous  Governor  foxgot  his  scruples  and 
wrote  promptly  to  the  President  for  aid.  and  had  it." 

MR.  MAliSHALL'S  READ  OF  CHRIST. 

Mr.  William  E.  Marshall,  the  artist  and  en- 
graver, has  been  for  many  years  at  work  on  a  colos- 
sal head  of  Jesus  of  Nazareth.  The  medium  used  is 
charcoal,  and  the  picture  is  drawn  on  paper,  notwith- 
standing the  large  dimensions  of  the  frame.  Wliile 
the  proportions  are  so  well  observed  that  most  spec- 
tators would  take  the  picttire  for  one  hardly  larger 
than  the  size  cailed  heroic,  by  actual  measurement  it 
is  10  feet  long  and  7  wide.  Only  the  shoulders  and 
breast  of  the  figure  are  to  be  seen  ;  the  head  aud  bust 
fill  quite  thret -quarters,  of  the  space;  the  face  is 
turned  a  little  from  the  full  toward  the  left,  aud  the 
eyes  look  not  directly  at>  but  past,  the  spectator. 

This  very  remarkable  piece  of  crayon  drawing  is 
now  on  exhibition  at  Xo-  625  Broadway,  draped  and 
mounted  to  the  best  effect  at  the  end  of  a  long  room, 
receiving  the  light  from  above.  Mr.  itarshall  casta 
his  strongest  light  on  the  eyebrow  and  nos^e,  with  a 
secondary  light  on  the  neck.  No  chalk  has  been 
used  to  heighten  effects,  but  the  brightest  portions 
of  the  face  are  sufficiently  contrasted  by  heavy  char- 
coal shadows  elsewhere.  The  Clirist  that  Mr.  Mar- 
shall has  conceived  ought  to  please  many  people  who 

have  a  secret  or  outspoken  objection  to  the  effemi- 
nate t\-pes  of  the  Saviour  tradition  has  handed  down. 
For  while  the  conventional  face  is  not  entirely  ig- 
nored, there  has  been  a  determined  effort  to  make 
tlie  face  powerful  as  well  as  benevolent.  In  this  hard 
task  we  can  congratulate  Mr.  Marshall  on  having 
made  a  success.  Not  only  are  the  strung  shoulders 
and  breast  typical  of  a  robust  health  and  the  prime 
of  manly  life,  but  the  face  itself  has  manly  ciiarac- 
teristics. 

The  beard  is  that  of  a  manly  man,  and  the  portion 
of  the  chin  visible  above  it  sliows  detenuiu.-itioH. 
The  nose  is  half  way  between  the  Arab  and  Grecian 
types,  as  might  well  befit  tho  author  of  a  reli^ua 
which  drew  so  much  from  both  Greeks  and  Jews  that 
no  one  can  separate  the  obligations.  The  whole  head 
has  an  OljTnpian  stateliness  that  reminds  one  of  the 
pictures  of  the  great  Jupiter  of  Phidias  at  OlvTupia. 
But  the  other  side  of  the  character  finds  expressiuu 
iu  the  eyes.  These  are  not  Greek.  They  have  laige 
pupils  in  large  sockets,  and  look  out  into  the  distance 
with  an  absorbed  expression  that  is  too  thoughtful  to 
be  dreamy.  But  besides  this  thought f illness,  there  is 
in  the  gaze  sadness  as  well.  The  saJness  prefigures 
tlie  sacrifice  tliat  he  is  to  make  for  mankind,  and 
the  firmness  bhows  that  he_  can  do  what  he 
sets  out  to  accomplish.  It  is  a  much  older- 
looking  portrait  than  the  usual  likenesses  of 
Jesus.  About  the  forehead  the  modeling  is 
excellent,  and  shows  the  artist's  skill  with  his  tools. 
Owing  to  the  fact  that  so  far  tho  Locking  of  the  pic- 
ture is  paper  m«rely,  the  lower  part  uf  tho  face  is  a 
little  out  of  drawiugfrom  thenneveiiness  of  the  pa- 
per. A  canva.s  or  panel  back  would  bring  everything 
nuo  correct  focus  again.  The  picture  is  saiii  to  havu 
been  greatly  admired  by  several  clerj;ynH-u  of  the 
Episcopal  Church,  and  iiu^^stiona  loive  bteii  mado 
to  put  it  to  the  best  of  all  uses,  t!ie  oruameniation  of 
a  church.  It  would  make  a  very  effective  altar- 
piece  for  the  largest  edifice,  owiug  to  its  colo.ssal  size 
and  tho  simplicity  of  its  effect.  The  sobriety  of  ita 
color  and  lack  of  'ornamental  details  would  be  likely 
to  recommend  it  even  to  those  who  object  to  tho 
decoration  of  places  of  worship.  Tlie  picture  is  sim-

BOX.  WILLIAM  n.  OGDEy. 

Hon.  William  B.  Ogden  died  yesteftin^ 
morning  at  2:20  o'clock,  at  hi-s  villa,  Fordham 
Heig:hts,  in  the  72d  year  of  his  ago.  His  life 
•was  one  of  great  public  activity,  and  perliaps  no 
man  in  the  community  lias  done  so  much  as  he 
to  build  up  the  great  Xorth-westem  country-. 
His  inclinations  never  led  him  to  office,  and 
business  activity  was  with  him  always  prefera- 
ble to  political  excitement,  but  he  had  that  prid« 
of  citizenship  which  impelled  him  to  come  for 
ward  at  times  of  emergency.  wRen  the  countrj 
needed  mature  judgment  and  energetic  and  in 
telligent  action.  He  had,  too,  that  largeness  ol 
sotU  which  kept  him  serene  both  in  pros 
perity  and  adversity.  When  the  terrible 
fire  at  Chicago  in  1S71  destroyed  property  ol 
his  amounting  in  value  \o  over  $1,000:000.  and 
when  the  destruction  of  his  immense  lumbering 
factories  at  Peshtigo,  Wis.,  following  hard  upon 
it,  entailed  an  additions!  loss  of  mere  that 
$1,500,000,  lie  never  quailed  in  face  of  these 
two  gigantic  disasters.  On  the  contrary.  hU 
fortitude  was  equal  to  the  great  strain  which 
was  put  upon  it,  and,  setting  to  work  anew,  he 
prepared  to  retrieve  the  losses  which  had  been 
sustained  through  these  crushing  calamities. 

Mr.  Ogden  wa.s  bom  iu  Delaware  Country, 
State  of  New-York,  in  the  year  1805.  and  be- 
longed to  the  Ogden  family  of  Eastern  Xew- 
Jersey.  On  both  his  father's  and  mother's  sida 
he  was  of  distingui.sbed  linoa^re.  The  sudden 
death  of  his  father  while  he  was  yet  only  16 
years  of  age  called  him  from  the  study 
of  the  law.  for  which  he  had  been  intended, 
and  compelled  him  to  devote  his  talents,  which 
were  already  conspicuous,  to  the  business  of  his 
deceased  parent.  At  21  he  entered  a  mercan- 
tile firm,  \\-ith  which  he  remained  connecii><l  for 
a  few  3-ears  before  proceeding  v.c*stwarJ.  "Wliile 
following  his  busint-ss  pursuits,  he  had  occasion 
to  travel  a  great  deal,  and  so  visiteil  nearly  all 
tlie  principal  cities  of  the  I'nion.  His  duties  as 
a  citizen  went  han<l  in  hand  with  his  business 
acti\-ity,  and  in  their  diwrharge  he  ent<.'red  tho 
military  service  of  the  State  when  he  wiis  IS 
years  of  age.  He  subsi-quently  filled,  for  several 
years,  tho  position  of  iJriirade  Inspector.  It 
was  iu  1S34  that  Mr.  Ogden  came  T>rominen'- 
ly  into  nublic  life,  being  in  that  year  elected 
to  the  State  Legislature,  so  that  the  construction 
of  the  Erie  Railway,  which  was  then  on  the 
tapus,  might  have  the  benefit  of  his  special  ad- 
vocacy. The  advanta;res  of  the  V>'est  were,  | 
however,  always  prominently  before  his  eyes, 
and  his  attention  had  been  specially  directed  to 
those  of  Chicago.  Accordingly,  he  went  to 
that  city  in  1 835  and  established  a  land  and 
trust  agency,  which  is  stiil  conducted  by  hia 
brother  and  brother-in-law.  and  which  has 
grown  to  be  one  of  the  great  institutions  of  the 
West.  His  business  transactions  in  Chicago 
were  on  an  immense  scale.  He  was  quick  to 
discern  the  courses  of  business,  and  e<iually 
prompt  to  supply  the  needs  of  the  community. 
Not  conte^nt  to  wait  for  the  tardj-  and  itiade- 
quate  provision  made  by  the  authorities  for  tho 
growth  of  the  city,  he  laid  out  and  con- 
structed at  his  own  ox)st  mort*  than  100 
miles  of  strc*et.s.  and  he  was  also  the  first  to  con- 
struct a  swiug-bridge  in  Chicago.  His  trans^ 
actions  in  r*^al  estate  were  on  an  inirnense  scale, 
and  in  all  his  vast  Imsine.ss  transactions  he  In- 
bored  energetically  to  maintain  the  public  faiih 
and  credit.  He  did  good  service  in  this  matter 
during  the  temi  of  his  Mayoralty,  (lie  was  tlio 
first  Mayor  of  Chicago. )  and  on  one  occaalon. 
at  a  public  meeting  convened  lo  delav  the  legal 
process  of  creditors,  gave  such  urgent  advice  t<» 
his  fellow-citizens  not  to  tarnish  the  honor  of 
an  infant  c'cy  that  his  counsel  prevailed.    HU 

Eublic  spirit  was  great,  and  his  energy  uniirin^ ; 
is  activity  and  zeal  were  held  iu  check  by  a 
well-regulated  judgtuent.  aud  his  maxinerj  and 
address  were  of  the  t-aptivaliug  or<ler.  Tlie 
largeness  of  his  enterprise  aud  the  extent 
of  his  influence  will  be  understood  from  th« 
fact  tliat  he  was  President  of  the  Medical  Col- 
lege, President  of  the  Galena  and  Chicag<,»  L'niou 
Railroad  Company,  and  President  of  the  North- 
w'est  Railroa<i  Company.  He  was  also  cliosentp 
preside  at  the  great  National  Railroad  Conven- 
tion held  at  Philadelphia  in  l-'s.'JO.  lo  tak« 
measures  for  the  construction  of  tlie  Pacilic 
Railroad  ;  was  President  of  tht-  Illinois  mid  Wis- 
consin Railroad  i.'ouipany  ;  of  the  Buffalo  and 
Missis-sippi  Railroad  Company  in  Indiana,  until 
merged  in  the  Michigiiu  Cen:ral.  and  <>f  iho 
Hoard  of  Sewerage  Commissioners  of  Chicago. 
He  was,  besides.  President  of,  and*  carried  out 
largely  from  his  own  means  the  contructiou  of., 
the  Chicago,  St.  Paul  .and  Fond-du-Lac 
Railroad,  and  took  au  active  part  iu 
the  director\-  of  the  Pittsburg.  Furt 
W'ayue  aud  Chicago  Itailroad  Company.  He 
several  times  declined  the  Receivership  of  that 
line  at  a  salary  of  $2.").U00  per  annum,  pend- 
ing the  settlement  of  legal  processes  betwtfen 
the  courts  of  ditferent  States  through  which  th« 
road  passed.  At  last  he  accepted  the  Receiver- 
ship, as  no  other  satisfactory  uanie  could*  he 
'found,  but  declined  the  large  eoniiieiisatiou.  on 
the  ground  that  the  necessities  of  the  road  did 
not  warrant  such  a  disbursement.  He  was 
chosen  lii-st  President  uf  the  L'nion  Pacific  Rail- 
road upon  its  ortcanizatioii  under  the  act  of 
Congress,  but  the  demands  of  his  ovm  vast  busi- 
ness coiicerus  conipelle*!  him  tu  retire  fmiu  the 
position.  Among  other  interests  requiring  his 
attention,  was  his  gre:tt  lumberiuir  esta'oliih- 
meiiT,  the  factories  of  which  were  situated 
at  Peshtigo.  iu  Wisconsin.  A  visit  jiaid 
by  Mr.  Ogden  to  Huroiw-  in  1  b.j-J-5 
resulted  in  considerable  beuvtit  to  ('liicago. 
During  that  visit iit- was  a  careful  observer  of 
the  great  public  works  of  Europe,  and  bis  ex- 
amination of  the  canals  of  Holland  was  at  the 
bottom  of  the  prolect  of  carryir.g  the  watei's 
of  Lake  Michigan  t^irough  the  Chicago  and  Des 
Plaines  Rivers  into  the  Illinois  and  Mississippi  ' 
Rivers.  Among  other  advantages  wliich  ac- 
crued to  the  commuuity  in  which  he  lived  from 
his  indefatigable  enterprise  was  the  introduc- 
tion of  reaping  and  mowing  machines  into  gen- 
eral use.  and.  indeetl.  it  was  at  his  suggestion 
that  tlie  first  reaper  was  sent  to  the  Loudon 
Exhibition  of  l!?51. 

Mr.  Ogden  was  not  without  political  princi- 
ples, but  politics  with  him  might  not  be  cou 
founded  with  unquestioning  partisanship-  He 
was  classtfd  as  a  democrat  of  the  Madis<m 
school.  He  bud  never  any  hesitation  alnfUt  op- 
posing thb  nonnnation»i  of  his  awa  party  when 
they  seemed  to  hiiu  unti:  or  impropi:r.  :iud  as 
has' been  stated,  was  himself  no  ollicc*.sceker. 
He  had  often  been  elt^cteil  to  the  City  Ci-uncils. 
but  ofiice  had  no  charm  lor  him,  except  when 
dutj'  dictated  to  hini  that  in  oflicehe  would  best 
subserve  the  interests  of  his  country.  In  lfeo2 
he  declined  a  nomination  for  Congress.  His 
views  on  the  slavery  question  were  decided  ; 
he  believed  that  "  the  encroachments  of 
slavery  should  U-  resis:ed.  aud  .so.  in  the  civil

"WASHEfGTON,  Aug.  3.— The  anticipated 
dmnges  in  the  New-York  Customhouse  were 
not  referred  to  to-day,  during  the  Cabinet  meet- 
ing, *nd  it  Is  believed  nothing  will  be  done  in 
the  matter  until  after  the  return  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Secretary  Evarts  from  Vermont.  Sec- 
retary Evarts  left  Washington  to-day, 
and  the  President  wiU  leave  on  the

to  say  anything  aqout  the  anticipated 
changes.  The  helief  is  very  general  that  Sur- 
'jByor  Sharpe  will  not  be  recommissioned,  but 
tms  proceeds  from  the  fact  that  he  has  been 
permitted  to  serve  for  several  months  without 
reappointment,  rather  than  from  anything  that 
can  be  learned  from  the  President  or  Secretary

Texas  on  a  charge  of  miirder  in  that  State,  was

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  has  re- 
ceived information  that  drv  and  salted  hides  of 
neat  cattle  can  now  be  safely  imported  from

ingly be  issued  permitting  such  importations. 

The  remains  of  Lieut.  Sdey.  who  was 
killed  with  Gen.  Custer  in  the  light  with  the 
Sioux  Indians,  arrived  here  this  afternoon,  and 
were  interred  at  Jlount  Olivet  Cemetery,  near 
this  city,  attended  by  a  number  of  Anny  of-

The  State  Department  has  been  ad'i'ised

A  petition  has  reached  the  President.

The  Cabinet  session  to-day  was  shorter 
than  usual,  and  no  business  of  any  importance 
was  transacted.  A  considerable  part  jf  the  ses- 
sion was  occupied  in  a  discussion  of  Utah  mat- 
ters, the  indictment  of  certain  Mormon  leaders 
in  connection  with  the  Mountain  Meadows  mas- 
sacre, but  nothing  was  done  beyond  a  general 
talk  on  the  subject.  The  labor  troubles  were 
also  referred  to,  and  several  matters  pertaining 
to  appointments  in  the  Territories,  but  none 
were  determined  upon. 

The  report  that  Collector  Worthington.  of 
Charleston.  S.  C.  was  arrested  bv  tlie  Legisla- 
tive Investigating  Committee,  is  untrue.  Hi- 
did,  however,  appear  before  the  committee  on 
summons,  and.  after  ha\-ing  been  examined, 
left  Columbia  for  Baltimore,  where  his  wife  is 
critically  ill.  Mr.  Worthington  never  held  any 
State  office  in  Soulh  Carolina,  although  previous

eral occasions,  acted  as  Special  Instate  Counsel, 
under  the  authority  of  Gov.  Scott. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  to-day  is- 
sued the  flfty-fottrth  call  for  the  redemption  of

An  important  decision  has  just  been  made 
by  the  Attorney-General  and  acted  on  bv  the 
iTesident,  holding  that  recommendations  for 
ofiHce,  however  they  may  be  on  tile  in  the  de- 
partments, are  not  matters  of  f^ord  there, 
cannot  be  inspected  except  by  those  personally 
interested,  nor  can  copies  be  furnished  upon" 
application  for  use  as  evidence  in  the  trial  of 
causes  to  which  private  citizens  are  parties,  and 
niuch  less  for  publication.  The  decision  is 
made  upon  an  application  by  Charles  De  Voung.- 
of  the  San  Francisco  Chronicle,  for  certified- 
copies  of  the  recommendations  made  by  Sena- 
tor Sargent,  of  California,  for  use  as  evidence 
in  an  approaching  trial  for  an  alleged  libel

^  TBB  DISMAL  SWAMP  CANAL, 
f  "Washington,  Aug.  3. — A  correspondent 
of  the  Evening  Star,  writing  from  Norfolk,  Va., 
states  that  the  published  statement  that  '•  the 
Government  ia  interested  to  the  extent  of 
81,500,00O-in  the  Dismal  Swamp  Canal "'  isan 
error.  He  says  the  capital  stock  of  the  Dismal 
Swamp  Canal  Company  is  oidy  $480,000.  Of 
this  amoiint  the  Government  owns  $200,000, 
or  about  two-flfths  of  the  whole  stock.  The 
State  of  Virginia  held  $190,000  of  the  same 
ptock,  and  individuals  the  remainder — $96,000. 
in  1854  a  new  company  was  chartered  by  the 
States  of  North  Carolina  and  Virginia,  iinder 
the  name  of  the  Albemarle  and  Chesapeake 
Canal  Company,  with  a  capital  of  $1,500,000, 
The  stock  was  taken  by  citizens,  and  an  entire 
new  canal  built,  uniting  the  waters  of  the  Chesa- 
peake Bay  with  those  of  Albemarle  Sound  in 
North  Carolina.  In  consequence  of  trade  being 
diverted  from  the  Dismal  Swamp  Canal,  it  had 
not  enough  trafHc  to  pay  expenses,  hence  the 
State  of  Virginia  sold  its  stock  several  vears 
ago  at  public  sale,  realizing  only  about  h  per 
cent,  on  the  investment.  The  com;^ny  not  be- 
ing able  to  pay  the  interest  on  Its  mortgage 
bonds,  the  canal  was  advertised  to  be  sold  on 
the  9th  inst.  The  sale  has  been  postponed  at 
the  request  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury, 
that  Congress  may  take  suiph  action  in  the  mat- 
ter as  it  may  deem  expedi^t.

PaN.\M.\,  July  25.— Peruvian  affairs  are 
assuming  a  better  shape,  although  the  financial 
problem  creates  general  uneasiness.  Mr.  Henry 
Meiggs,  of  Lima,  the  contractor,  has  made  a 
proposition  to  the  Peruvian  Government  to 
either  issue  on  its  own  account,  or  to  allow  hlra  to 
issue,  $15,000,000  in  papermoney  in  payment 
of  thfit  amount  of  bonds  held  by  him,  to  re- 
lieve his  present  necessities,  and  enable  him  to 
prosecute  the  work  of  opening  the  Cerro  de 
Paseo  mines. 

Advices  from  Lima  of  July  12  say  that  a 
new  phase  has  been  given  to  the  political  situa- 
tion by  a^proclamation  is.sued  by  the  President 
on  the  6th  inst.,  setting  at  liberty  the  prisoners 
confined  in  the  barracks  of  Lima  and  Callao  for 
the  ineffectual  movement  of  the  4th  of  June,  and 
the  defenders  of  the  Hua^car,  who  were  still 
detaiiied  on  board  the  transport  Limeiia,  in  the 
Bay  of  Iquique.  .A-lthou^-h  by  the  terms  of  the 
capitulatiou  entered  into  between  Don  Nicolas 
de  Pierola  and  Commander  More,  jOI  the  Xnde- 
pendeccia,  when  the  Huascar  was  surrendered  to 
the  Government  forceri,  the  followers  of  Pierola 
should  have  been  exempt  from  imprisonment,  it 
was  evident  from  the  refusal  of  the  Administra- 
tion to  caiTV  out  the  stipulations  of  that  agree- 
ment that  the  popularity  acquired  by  these  per- 
sons was  considered  dangerous  at  the  moment, 
and  it  was  thought  Advisable^  to  wait  a  short 
period  before  granting  them  their  freedom. 
This  stet",  however,  appears  to  have  been  a  mis- 
take. The  continued  idetention  of  Mr.  Pierola 
and  his  adherents,  after  the  safeguard  granted 
them  by  Capt.  More,  and  in  the  face 
of  numerous  and  weiglitv  applications  made  to 
the  Government  for  their  release,  seems  rather 
to  have  increased  the  general  sympathy  toward 
them,  and  should,  as  some  imagine,  any  ulterior 
movement  take  place  against  the  constitutional 
authorities,  the  prestige  of  Pierola  will  be 
found  greater  than  before.  This  is  a  consum- 
mation that  appears  vague  in  the  extreme. 
Should  the  reply  from  the  Cabinet  jof  St. 
James  be  favorable  to  the  demand  for  redress 
made  by  Pern,  Gen.  Prado  will  retain  his.  hold 
on  the  people's  affecrion-s.  but  should  that  re- 
quest meet  with  refusal,  his  Government  might 
have  to  bear  the  brunt  of  popular  dissatisfac- 
tion. As  it  is.  we  certainly  require  some  k-epose. 

We  learn  from  A7  ^om',/-,'/y  of  Guy^quil  of 
July  0.  rirceived  by  the  Trujillo  on  the  10th 
inst..  that  the  President  of  that  Repuljlic.  Ig- 
nacio  de  Veintemilla,  issued  a  decree  on  June 
28.  1877.  suspending  the  Concordat  celebrated 
between  Ecuador  and  the  Holy  See  in  18p3  and 
revi\ing  the  famous  Colombian  law  of  Patron- 
ageof  July28,  1^24.  .which  latter  El  ICom^r- 
CIO  promises  to  publish  in  its  next  j  issue. 
The  Bishop  of  Guayaqtiiljhas  issued  a  protest 
against  this  action"  of  the  President,  and  the 
Church  ftarty  througljout  the  Kepublic  is,  of

there  were  discrepancies  between  the  general 
ledger  and  the  depositors'  ledger  amounting  to 
$08,000.  He  found  some  losses  on  mortgages ; 
did  inot  take  deposits  after  Reid's  report  of  No- 
vember. 1875.  It  was  understood  in  the  bank 
that  Ellis  had  been  seen  by  some  of  the  bank 
oncers  after  Reid's  report.

ment, testified  as  to  the  examination  of  the

thej  Trustees  did  not  pay  the  interest 
on  the  call  loan  for  several  years ;  Reid's  ex- 
amination made  the  assets  the  same  as  the 
bank,!  only  valued  them  differently;  William 
p.  Aldrick,  Receiver  of  the  Mutual  Benefit 
Savings  Bank,  was  appointed  December,  1875, 
and'  has  collected  $9,000  on  Trustees'  notes  ; 
ho  paid  two  di\-idends  together  of  50  cents  on 
the  dollar,  and  hopes  to  pay  25  cents  more.

real  estate  in  New-Jersey  :  the  loss  on  bonds 
andi  mortgages  is  nearly "$50,000 :  there  were

A  CRIMmAL'S  YARIED  HFE. 


A  NOTED  BURGLAR  IN  CUSTODY. 

THE  THIBP  ARRESTED  ON  THURSDAY  BY  THE 
POLICE  PROVES  TO  BE  A  WELL-KNOWN 
CONVICT  —  SKETCH  j6t  HIS  CAREER  OP 
CRIME.  ,/ 

The  desperate  resistance  to  arrest  made  by 
the  tliief  Oscar  p.  Peterson  on  Thursday,  as  de- 
scribed in  yesterday^s  Timxs,  was  difficult  to  ac- 
count for,  in  view  of  his  stealing  only  $26  worth 
of  goods,  but  the  developments  of  yesterday  supply 
ample  reason^  for  Peterson's  conduct.  He  has 
been  fully  identified  by  the  Central  Office 
detectives  as  one  of  the  most  notorious  and 
successful  bank  burglars  in  the  country,  and  as  a 
member  of  a  gang  which  has  operated  on  the  most 
extensive  scale  during  the  past  10  years.  Yesterday 
morning  Detective  DiUcs,  suspecting  Peterson  to  be 
some  prominent  criminal,  visited  him  at  the  Tombs. 
He  had  sent  to  Sing  Sing  for  Deputy  Warden 
Jackson,  who  had  lurived  and  was  with  him.  They 
found  that  the  Tombs  authorities  had  very 
foolishly  allowed  Peterson  to  shave  off  his 
full  and  luxuriant  beard,  cut  his  hair,  change  his 
clothes,  and  otherwise  so  completely  alter  his  ap- 
pearance as  to  make  identification  very  difficult.  But 
they  satisfied  themselves  that  Peterson  was  no  other 
than  the  notorious  Jim  Brady,  of  Troy,  the  colleague 
of  Peter  Curley,  who  is  now  running  a  saloon  in 
Troy,  after  a  bad  and  successful  criminal  life,  in  which 
he  managed  to  beat  all  the  lawyers  ever  engaged  in 
his  prosecution.  In  1865,  Officer  Kealey.  now  Ser- 
geant, of  this  City,  arre.sted  Brady  for  a  highway 
robbery  committed  at  Cohoes-  The  matter  was, 
however,  compromised  between  Brady  and  his 
victim.  About  seven  years  ago  a  very  curi- 
ous burglary  was  successfully  perpetrated 
upon  the  Orchard-Street  Savings  Bank,  of  Philadel- 
phia, in  which  $60,000  were  stolen.  Brady  was  the 
leader  in  this  robbery.  Just  before  the  bank  closed 
Brady,  dressed  In  a  policeman's  uniform,  appeared 
at  the  bank  and  told  the  officeis  that  he  was  from  the 
city  detective  office.  He  said  that  a  gang  of  burglars 
had  for  some  da}*^  'Seen  making  arrangements  to  roh 
the  bank,  and  they  would  make  the  attack  that  night. 
The  burglars  had  been  all  "spotted,"  he  said,  and  he 
was  ordered  to  put  a  guard  of  officers  in  the  bank 
that  night  and  arrest  the  bttrglars  at  their  work.  He 
requested  the  officials  to  make  no  stir  or  fuss  that 
would  betray  their  knowledge  to  the  gang  and  thus 
drive  them  from  their  contemplated  attempt,  and  so 
prevent  their  arrest.  The  officers  were  ver>-  happy 
to  comply  with  all  the  detective's  requirements. 
That  night,  at  a  late  hour,  Brady  and  two  com- 
panions, all  uniformed,  got  admitted  to  the 
bank  by  the  two  watchmen  on  duty,  who  had  been 
so  instructed.  Soon  after  Brady  said  to  one  of  the 
watchmen,  "  The^e  go  two  of  the  burglars :  let  us 
follow  them  I"  The  watchman  went  out  with  Brady, 
and  they  went  on  an  extended  beat.  In  the  mean- 
time the  two  policemen  within  the  bank  overpowered 
the  remaining  watchman  and  l>ound  and  gagged  him. 
When  Brady  returned  with  the  other  they  treated 
him  likewise.  They  then  took  all  the  money  in  the 
bank,  amounting  to  $60,000,  and  left.  They  were 
never  arrested  for  tliis  burglary. 

Four  vears  ago  Officer  Casey,  of  tho  Broadway 
Squad,  of  this  City,  arrested  Brady  for  a  rbhben-  of 
$5,000  worth  of  optical  instruments.  This  robbery 
was  committed  on  Joseph  Gall,  optician,  of  Xo  21 
Cnion-square.  He  was  convicted  and  sentenced  to  Srate 
Prisonfor  five  years.  HeescapedfromAubumsoonaf- 
ter  incarceration.  Eleven  weeks  after  this  escape 
Detective  Dilks  obtained  clues  as  to  his  whereabouts, 
and  succeeded  in  tracking  him  to  the  room  of  a 
friend,  r)r.  Harrison,  of  Cattnine-street.  Going 
there,  he  found  Brady  and  the  Doctor 
in  conversation.  WTiile  Dilks  was  addressing 
the  Doctor  Brady  jumped  through  the_  closed 
window,  carrying  the  sash  with  him.  Dilks  jumped 
after  him  and  chased  him.  Brady  ran  down  to  Bed- 
ford-street and  thence  to  Leroy-street,  and  when 
about  a  half  a  block  on  Leroy,  the  detective  gaining 
on  him,  he  jumped  through  a  half-opened  window 
into  a  basement  dining-room,  in  which  a  family  were 
eating  supper.  He  was  followed  by  Dilks.  Wiien  the 
officer  laid  hands  upon  him,  Brady  attempted  to  shoot 
him.  and  drew  two  pistols,  one  from  his  pantaloons 
pocket  and  the  other  from  aside  pocket  of  his  coat. 
The  latter  pistol  caught  in  the  pocket  flap  and  failed 
to  go  off,  and  Dilks  succeeded  m  disabling  him  bv  a 
shot,  and  arrested  him.  The  main  reason  wiiy  De- 
tective Dilks  went  after  Brady  on  that  occasion  was 
that  he  had  learned  that  the  prisoner  was 
attempting,  at  the  room  on  Carmine-.street. 
to  dispose  of  $40,000  in  Cniied  States 
bonds.  the  proceeds  of  various  robberies. 
All  thene  ijonds  were  found  by  Dilks  on  Brady's  jier- 
son.  There  were  tWo  $10,000  bonds  beloni^ii;  to 
Amasa  Stone,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio;  ten  |l,00O 
bonds,  proceeds  of  a  bank  burglary  at  Glenn's 
FaUs.  and  ten  $1,000  bonds,  proceeds  of  a  bank 
bureiary  at  Port  Jen'is,  both  in  this  State.  On  the 
trial  succeeding  this  arrest.  Mr.  Gall,  tlie  oj)tJ(.'ia:i, 
was  subpcenaed  as  a  witness  to  identify,  and  did 
appear,  toidentify  theprisoner.  Brady pleadedguilty, 
and  was  sentenced  to  three  and  a  half  years  in  Sing 
Sing,  and  then  to  be  remanded  to  Auburn  to  ser\> 
out  nis  five  years  there.  Three  weeks  after  hi-s  im- 
prisonment he  escaped  from  Sing  Sin?.  Two  months 
after  this  escape  he  was  again  arre.-^leo,  togt-ther  with 
Prank  McCoy,  alias  "  Big  Frank."  Jimmy  Hope. 
Worcester  Sam.  and  another,  iu  Wilmington,  Del.,  for 
robbing  the  Wilmington  Bank  of  $60,000.  Eacii  of 
the  four  was  sentenced  to  50  lashes.  .?2,000  fine, 
and  10  years'  imprisonment  in  Kewcastle  Jail.  They 
all  received  the  lashes  and  went  to  prison.  Deputy 
Warden  Jackson,  of  Sing  Sing,  went  during  tiieir 
trial  in  Delaware,  after  Brady,  but  the  State  author- 
ities refused  to  deliver  him  up.  Two  weeks  after 
their  imprisonment  in  Newcastle,  all  four  escaped. 
Big  Frank  was  soon  rearrested  in  Philadeljihia  and  sent 
back.  He  again  escaped.  He  was  recaptured  and 
sent  back  a  second  time,  and  is  in  Newcastle  Jail  yet. 
The  others  were  not  cantured. 

Brady  was  one  of  the  gang  tliat  robbed  the  Ocean 
Bank  of  this  Citv,  in  1869,  "of  $400,000  ;  the  Keese- 
^ille  Bank,  recently,  of  $60,000,  and  the  Great 
Bennington  (Vt.)  Bank,  some  time  ago.  of  between 
$300,000  and  $400,000.  When  Bratiy  escaped  from 
Auburn  in  1S73  tliree  other  prisoners  escape<l  wiih

SEVEN  IVEEES  in  A  SMALL  BOAT. 


THE  VOYAGE  OP  CAPT.    CRAPS  AND   HIS  WIFE 
ACROSS  THE  ATLANTIC, 
A  correspondent  of  the  London  Daily  News  at 

Penzance,  speaking  of  the  arrival  at  that  place  of 
Capt.  Craps  and  his  wife,  who  left  New-Bedford  on 
May  2S  in  a  sniidl  biKit.  says  :  "  The  v<»ya:^e  was 
conimennud  <»n  May  '2H.  wlu-u  thf  vo-'^sel  left  Xew- 
BeJford.  but  by  stress  of  \rcaiher  sh»>  had  to  p!i:  into 
Chatham.  Mays.,  where  she  stayed  until  tht.'  *Jd 
of  June,  when  tiie  sails  were  airain  hi)istL-ti, 
and  tho  little  piirmy  left  on  lier  perilous  voyage 
with  a  fair  wind.  All  went  well  for  three 
days,  the  wind  being  south-west  and  the  sea  calm. 

The  wind  then  ohancwl  to  south-east,  and  it  cajne  on 
foggy  for  four  days,  and  continued  fotniy  up  u.t  fhe 
lime  when  Uiey  reached  tlie  tiraud  B;ii'iks,  17  days 
out.  Here  a  most  fortunate  thing  happened  for  tlie 
navigators.  The  dmgue  which  they  had  br'>ni:ht 
with  them  was  found  to  be  of  little  us*»,  bei'ause  it  was 
too  light.  While  off'  tho  hanks  they  saw  a  kei;  Jlimtin<r. 
which  luckily  they  were  able  to  secure.  Capt.  Craps 
knocked  off  the  -iron  hoops,  and  with  some  canvas 
made  a  new  drogue  which  answered  fttJnirably. 
When  it  is  considered  that  at  one  part  of  the  voyage 
they  were  obliged  to  lie  to  for  nearly  three  days"  in  a 
great  gate  of  wind,  it  uill  need  no  effort  to  iiaa^ne 
what  a  fortunate  acquisition  the  new  dro^^ie  was. 
After  leaving  the  banks,  where  tliey  lay  to  in  a  gale 
for  15  hours,  the  weather  improved,  and  they  s.-iiled 
on  till  the  *Jlst  of  June,  when  another  cfth' 
was  encountered,  ^\"llile  l\ingto.  the  New■i'.e(if^lrd 
spoke  tlie  steamer  BataWa.  from  which  a.'isi-iiiance 
was  offered,  and  the  offer  was  niatle  to  take  them 
ou  board,  which  wa.'?  pluckily  de<jrnied.  After  this 
incident  tliey  encounlered  a  succession  of  ;;ale>?.  the 
only  wonder  being  that  tdpy  sur\ived  to  tell  tlie 
story.  During  the  voyage,  which  <jccupied  4it  thtys. 
the  rudder  broke,  but  happily  there  was  a  kj tare  oar 
on  board,  which  was  used  until  the  first  couhl  be  re- 
paired. T'ho  seas  were  running  mountains  hig'.v  and 
duriiig  all  that  time,  even  when  lyin-?  down 
to  rest,  they  had  to  lie  on  wet  clotiies. 
Chi  one  occasion  the  Captain  was  for 
70  hours  steering  without  relief,  thf  weather  being 
so  frightful,  and  on  another  he  was  1 S  hours  consecu- 
tively attending  to  the  drogue.  Capt-  Craps  says  he 
could  not  have  stood  another  15  days  ;  indeed,  he 
had  not  slept  for  70  hours  wlien  he  lauded.  His 
average  sleep  while  coming  across  was  unrlert'our 
hours  a  day.  Among  the  imiay  extrannJinary  thin^cs 
connected  with  the  voyage  is  that  it  had  to  be  run  by 
dead  reckoning,  as  the  New-Bedford  was  not  equal  to 
a  chronometer.  Only  on  two  occasions  could  they  p.-t 
their  longitude.  \Vhen  speakiu>r  the  two  vessels 
Capt.  Crans  had  intended  to  make  for  Paljunutb. 
but  the  wind  was  against  it.  Capt.  and  Mrs.  Craps 
seemed  wonderfully  well  after  the  hardships  they 
had  undergone,  though  the  Captain  has  a  bad  hand. 
and  when  he  came  on  shore  his  other  liand  was 
firmly  clenched  after  70  hours'  steering.  The  hou>o 
they  stopped  at  was  invaded  by  person*;  eager  to 
shake  hands  with  so  brave  a  couple.  The  bout  w.'is 
also  visited  by  numbers.  Capt.  Craps  thinks  of  eoing 
on  to  Falmouth,  and  afterward  to  Loudon  and  the 
Paris  Exhibition,"

A  deputation  of  grocers  intend  to  wait  upon 
Mayor  Ely  to  complain  of  the  heavy  fees  demanded 
by  some  Inspectors  of  Weights  and  Measures. 

Mr.  Jacob  J.  Banta,  one  of  the  Inspectors  of 
Weights  and  Measures,  api>eared  before  Mayor  Ely 
yesterday  to  answer  the  complaint  of  Mr.  WiUiam 
A.  Boyd,  the  Corporation  Attorney,  who  chained 
him  with  negkcting  to  make  a  report  of 
his     oueraliona     to    the    Conmionjk.Council    once 


In  every  three  mouths,  and  also  wfth  nut  atsmpliic 
the  we^hta  and  measures  which  he  had  inspected  ta 
his  district,  Mr.  Banta  was  accompaniea  by  his 
counsel,  who  stated  that  he  kept  a  correct  register  of 
all  his  onerations.  and  that  he  was  at  all  times  ready 
and  willing  to  furnish  it  to  the  Common  CouncU.  and 
also  that  the  weights  and  measures  examined  by  him 
were  correct  at  the  time  he  inspected  t}iem.  He 
then  stated  that  it  would  be  necessaiy  to  caM  several 
witnesses  for  the  defense,  among  them  Corpora- 
tion .^ttomey  Boyd,  Mr.  John  Hardy,  the  Mayor's 
Chief  »:ierk,  and  Francis  J.  Twomey,  the  Clerk  of 
the  BiMird  of  Aldermen.  The  examination  was  then 
adjourned  until  the  15th  inst. 


THE  PATERSON  SILK  WB AVERS. 
The  special  committee  appointed  at  the  recent 
meeting  of  the  Paterson  (U.  J.)  Board  of  Trade  wait- 
ed on  the  Mayor  of  Patersou^Iast  night,  for  tlie  pur- 
pose of  devising  means  to  protectsuch  of  the  striking 
weavers  aa  are  desirous  of  returning  to  work.  The 
committee  said  it  was  absolutely  necessary  that  the 
well-disposed  among  the  workmen  should  be 
afforded  proper  protection,  and  they  asked  that 
he  [the  Mayor]  should  issue  a  proelamatian  on 
the  subject.  "The  Mayor  requests  the  committee 
to  put  their  vievrs  in  ivriting.  and  said  that  he  would 
bring  the  subject  before  the  Board  of  Aldermen.  He 
admitted  that  the  Police  force  was  too  small,  but 
that  was  a. subject  for  the  Common  Council  to  con- 
sider. The  committee  having  reduced  their  views  to 
writing  the  Mayor  promised  to  attend  to  the  matter, 
after  which  the  committee  withdrew.

*'The  Sure  Witness." 

"The  nineteenth  century  is  the  age  of  noTels." 
remarks  a  literary  historian.  He  might  have  added, 
with  equal  truth,  "andnovel  impositions."  Studied 
politeness  has  been  passed  off  on  us  for  native  re-- 
finement,  the  forms  of  devotion  for  its  essence,  and 
speculation  for  science,  until  we  look  askance  at  every 
neyv  person  or  thing,  and  to  an  assertion  of  merit 
invariably  exclaim :  "Prove  it!"  In  brief,  Satan 
has  made  himself  so  omnipresent  that  we  look  for 
his  cloven  foot  every where^ven  in  a  bottle  of  medi- 
cine. Imagine' a  laly  having  a  complexion  so  sallow 
that  you  would  deny  her  claims  to  the  Caucasian 
tytMj  if  her  features  did  not  conform  to  it,  purchasing 
her  first  bottle  of  the  Golden  Medical  Discoveby. 
Tlie  $1  is  paid  in  the  verj-  identical  manner  in  which 
Mr.  Taylor  might  he  expected  to  purchase  a  lottery 
ticket  after  his  experience  with  "No.  104,163," 
with  this  difference;  his  doubt  would  be  the  result 
of  personal  experience,  w^iile  hers  would  be  founded 
on  what  a  certain  practitioner  (who  has  been  a  whole 
year  trj^ing  to  correct  her  refractory  liver)  has  said 
conceniiug  it.  At  home  she  examines  the  bottle  half 
suspiciously,  tastes  of  its  contents  carefully,  takes 
the  prescribed  tloso  more  carefully,  and  then  proceeds 
to  watch  the  result  with  as  much  anxiety  as  a  prac- 
titioner would  count  the  pulse-beats  of  a  dying  man. 
She  takes  another  dose,  and  another,  and  shows  the 
bottle  to  her  friends.  telUng  them  she  *"  feels  better." 
Her  skin  loses  its  bilious  tint,  her  eyes  regain  their 
lustre,  her  accustomed  energj- returns,  and  the  fact  that 
she  purchases  another  bottle  Ls  a  sure  witness  that  she 
has  found  the  GoLUES  Medical.  DisrovERy  to  be  a 
reliable  remedy  for  tlie  disease  indicated.  The  lady 
wisely  resolves  that  in  future  her  estimate  of  any 
medicine  will  be  based  upou  a  personal  knowledge  of 
its  effects,  and  not  upon  what  some  practitioner  (who 
always  makes  long  bills  rhyme  with  pills)  may  say  of 
it.  Da.  Pierce  is  in  receipt  uf  letters  from  hundreds 
of  the  largest  wliolesale  and  retail  druggists  in  the 
I' uiled  States,  slating  that  at  the  present  time  there 
is  a  greater  dem:ind  for  the  Golden  Meticai*  Dis-

FlUDAT,  Aug.  3— P.  M. 
The  course  of  affairs  on  the  Stock  Ex- 
change to-day  show-'!  tbat  there  is  some  truth 
in  the  remark  that  it  is  always  the  unexpected 
which  happens.  It  -was  generally  anticipated 
by  operators  that,  following  the  sensational 
dcTclopments  of  yesterday,  there  would  he 
quite  a  fiorry  in  the  market  -to-day,  but  these 
anticipations  TC-ere  not  realized,  the  transactions 
being  on  a  moderate  scale  and  unattended  with 
excitement  The  impression,  however,  is  very 
general  that  a  fierce  struggle  Is  impending 
between  the  rival  cliques,  and  that  Wall-street 
In  the  near  future  is  destined  to  be  the  scene  of 
exciting  events.  Western  Union  was  again  to- 
day the  leader  of  the  market,  and,  after  opening 
firm  St  75,  declined  about  2  V  cent.,  closing 
■within  a  fraction  of  the  lowest  point.  During 
the  day  reports  were  afloat  to  the  effect  that  the 
managers  of  thO  coal  companies  were  about  to 
hold  a  meeting  with  the  view  of  making 
arrangements  to  limit  production,  and  though 
these  rumors  could  not  be  traced  to  any  reliable 
source,  they  .nevertheless  tended  to  Impart 
strength  to  the  coal  shares. 

The  total  transactions  reached  130,711 
■hares,  which  embraced 48, 730  Western  Union, 
24,100  Lake  Shore,  10,900  Defiware,  liaoka-

FREIGHTS— The  berth  freight  movement  has  been

ing  little  variation.  The  Grain  movement  has  been  on  a 
restricted  scale :  and  Provisions.  Cotton,  and  other  gen- 
eral cargo  have  been  offered  with  reser\'e.  The  continen- 
tal steam  lines  for  Germany  and  Belgium  report  the  bulk 
of  the  room  for  the  steamers  clearing  hence  in  August  and 
September  as  already  contracted  for The  inqulrj-  for  ac- 
commodation for  French  ports  is  verj-  tame,  and  rates  are 
quoted  weak  and  irregular.  In  the  chartering  line,  a  fair 
demand  has  been  noted  for  vessels  for  Petroleimi  at  full 
figures,  and  a  moderate  c&Il  for  tonnage  for  Grain,  the 
latter  mostly  to  arrive,  at  about  preWous  quotations, 
though  rather  less  firmness  has  been  noted  in  this  con- 
nection. Vessels  for  Deal.  Lumber,  Timber,  and  general 
cargo  have  attracted  less  attention,  yet  have  been  qnoted 
about  as  before.  West  India  and  coastwise 
trade    interests    have     been,    as    a    rule,    very    dull,

•CTCIDE  OF  A  GA3CBLEA  IN  AN  UP-TO"WN 
GAHBLINa  SALOON  —  DRIVEN  TO  THE 
WALL  BY  BAD  LUCK — THE  PAPERS  BOUND 
OK  THE  DECEASED, 
A  suicide  surrounded  by  unusually  tragic  In- 
jldents  took,  place  at  an  earl?  hour  yesterday  morn- 
ing in  the  notorions  gambling  saloon  of  "Mike" 
Murray,  ^*o.  13  "West  Twenty -eighth  street.  At 
9:30  o'clock  on  Thnrsday  evening  a  short,  thick-set. 
well-dressed  man,  apparently  about  35  years  of  age, 
wearing  a  bloi^k  monstache  and  imperial,  called  at 
the  gaznbling-honse  and  Inqnired  for  a  man  whom, 
be  said,  he  met  in  New-Orleans  in  April,  1876.  The 
colored  waiter  infoxined  him  that  the  m&n  in  ques- 
tion was  not  in.  and  the  stranger  left.  He  visited 
the  place  again  at  midnight^*  participated  in  a  game 
which  was  in  progress  in  thS  parlor,  and,  it  appears, 
met  with  only  indifferent  lock.  He  drank  rather 
heavily  of  brandy,  and  although  seemingly  not  intoxi- 
cated, acted  in  a  ;  manner  that  impressed  the 
assembled  players  \  with  the  belief  that  he 
was  mentally  deranged.  *  I^eavlng  l^e  gam- 
ine-table in  the  ea:tenaion  <  parlor,  he  entered 
the  front  parlors,  whUch  were '  nnoecnpied,  and  for 
some  time  hurriedly i paced  the  floor.  About  3  A- 
M.,  while  an  eager  group  of  gamblers  were  gathered 
round  the  faro  table  in  the  rear  apartment,  all  were 
startled  by  the  sharp  report  of  a  pistol  in  the 
front  room.  Seversil  men  rushed  into  the  apart- 
ment, and  there  found  the  stranger  reclining 
on  H  cliair  placed  {near  the  marble  pillars  di- 
■viding  the  front  lind  back  parlors.  He  bad 
shot  himself  tkroogh  the  right  temple,  from 
■  H  round  hole  inl  which  a  stream  of  blood 
was  flfiwinsr.  One  man,  who  examined  his  pulse,  an- 
noTuiced  that  life  Was  extinct.  The  Police  of  the 
Twenty-ninth  Preclniit  were  notiiled,  and  soon  after 
offirers  bore  the  bodyj  on  a  stretcher  to  the  Thirtieth- 
Sireet  Station.  A  search  of  the  clothing  resulted  in 
the  finding  of  a  siiaall  sum  of  money,  ($1  35.)  a 
valuable  eold  watch  lind  chain,  a  photograph  of  the 
decea.'ied.  taken  in  Elgin.  HI.,  and  a  pocket-book  con- 
taining some  papers,  including  the  following,  written 
on  a  soiled  sheet  of  pjaper ; 

Wew-Orlkans,  July  12th,  1876. 
To  Whom  it  may  Crmrei'^  .■ 

Mv  name  is  J.  F.  Murphy-  My  mother  lives  in  Eleln. 
m.  I  am  recently  from  San  Francisco.  Have  {$2,a(.>0) 
twenty-three  hundred  idoUars  on  deposit  with  the  Odd- 
fellows' Sa\'inc:^  in  San!  tVanclsco;  also  some  property  in 
town  of  Hollister,  CaL  jAU  to  go  to  mv  dear  mother  in  ca.se 
nf  my  death,  Mv  will  is  deposited  with  the  National 
fiold  'Bank  and  "f  rust  Company,  San  Francisco.  Truly 
and  sanely,  J.  F.  MURPUY. 

On  the  back  of  the  note  was  written : 
"  My  pass-book.  Ko.  6,753,  is  on  deposit  with  the  bank 
tn  Sau  p'rancisco."        i 

From  the  al>ove  it  is  evident  that  Murphy  contem- 
plated committing  stiicide  a  year  ago.  The  tenor  of 
the  otlier  papers  weni  to  show  that  during  the  period 
intervening  between]  1873  and  1S76  he  was  em- 
ployed in  the  capacities  of  _brakemen  and  pas!<enger 
conductor  on  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad,  the 
Wesiem  and  Yisalia  Division  of  the  Central  Pacific, 
and  the  Chicngo  and  Xorth.jwestem  Road.  Owing  to 
a  reduction  of  help  on  the  Central  Pacific  early  in 
1S76  he  lost  his  position  of  passenger  conductor. 
Since  then  it  appears  that  he  has  been 
a  professional  gamoler  and  adventurer.  He 
Rpent  a  few  months  in  New-Orleans,  where 
he  was  known  by  the  soubriquet  of  "Doctor." -and 
gained  a  reputation  as  an  expert  in  billiards  and  pin- 
pool.  Among  the  d^nmenta  found  on  his  person 
were  an  ackDOwIedC|nient  of  the  receipt  of  his  will 
by  the  National  Gold  Bank  and  Trust  Conapany ;  a 
.•ertificate  of  membership  in  the  Sumner  Lodge  of 
Odd-fellows  of  EUial  Cal. ;  certificates  of  $oOO 
worth  of  shares  in  the  Consolidated  Tobacco  Com- 
pany of  San  Francisco,  and  others  of  six  shaif  s  in  the 
Wallapai  Mining  and  Milling  Company;  a  letter 
phowtng  that  he  waa  at  the  Union-Place  Hotel  on 
July  6.  1376.  and  several  passes  issued  by  railroad 
conilnctors.  It  was  stated  yesterday  morning  that 
Murphy  left  a  letter  i  in  wMch  he  stated  that  if  he 
should"  ever  find  hiniaelf  driven  to  the  wall  by  bad 
luck  he  would  destroy  himself.  Coroner  Flanagan, 
who  investigated  the  suicltle  yesterday  afternoon, 
failed  to  find  such  a  letter. 

Patrick  Downey,  aij  attacb^  of  the  gambling  estab- 
lishment, made  the  following  affidavit  before  Deputy 
Coroner  Miller : 

•■  I  reside  at  No.  13  TTeKt  Twenty  .eighth-street ;  never 
saw  the  dereased  nntil  9:30  P.  M.  of  Aug.  2  ;  he  came  In 
looking  for  a  friend  of  hts  whom  he  h^  met  at  New- 
Orleans  :  did  not  find  him  her*,  and  left,  returning  at  1*2 
P.  M.:  he  remained  herie  :  drank  seTcral  times,  of  brandy 
and  bittprs:  Fmi-bedtwlo  cigars:  did  not  seem  intoiicate*! 
but.  in  fact,  deiangedj  walked  up  and  down  the  main 
parlors,  sat  down  on  a  chair  by  one  of  the  centre  pillars 
just  a  few  minutes  before  tds  death,  when  I  was  startled 
hy  the  n  port  of  a  pistol:  no  one  was  in  the  parlor  at  the 
rime :  the  doors  which  entrf»r  in  the  back  third  room  were 
oi<en.  however,  and  many  were  sitting  within;  1  rushrd 
in,  took  hold  of  his  pulse,  intending  to  summon  a  f'hvfi- 
rian.  but  found  life  extinct ;  I  notified  the  Poiice,  an<f  he 
was  r*'moved  to  the  station^  I  did  not  at  the  time  know 
liSiname;  1  know  no  cause  for  this  act,  except  that  it 
was  done  under  a  fit  of  temporary  insanity."

THE  MEERITT  ESTATE. 

CONTEST  OVER  THE  MILLIONAIRE'S  PROPERTY 
— THE  RESULT  OFOfOT  MAKING  A  WILL. 

TTie  contest  for  the  estate  of  the  late  John  A. 
Merritt  stOl  coniinnes,  aptf  the  next  hearing  In  the 
rase  is  set  down  for  Mon»lay  next  at  Portchester, 
Westchester  County.  Mr.  JMerritt  left  an  estate 
valued  at  $2,250,000.  and  died  without  having 
made  a  will.  Merritt 's  nearest  of  kin — some  14  first- 
rouMns.  including  Hon.  Jared  V,  Peck  and  his  three 
Fisters,  the  Merritt's,  and  others — applied  to  the  Sur- 
ragate  for  a  letter  of  administration,  which  was 
granted,  and  Horf.  J.  V.  Peck  and  Jacob  Campbell, 
President  of  the  Pacific  Bank,  were  appointed 
administrators.  Hundreds  of  next  of  kin  sprang 
up  in  all  directions,  inclnding  a  large  nomher  from 
New-Jersey.  New-England,  California,  and  other 
places,  and  they  put  in  claims  to  the  estate.  The  ad- 
ministrators had  a  difficult  tasi:  to  select  the  next  of 
vin  but  finally  the  list  was  reduced  to  14  first  cousins 
and  something  over  100  second,  third,  fourth,  and 
fifth  cousins. '  The  real  property,  valued  at  $66,000, 
goes  to  the  first,  second,  third.  iourt'K.  and  fifth 
rousins.  giving  each  about  $500  after  expenses  are 
paid.  The  personal  property,  about  $1,000,000.  be- 
longs exclusively  to  the  first  cotisins,  a  partition  suit 
being  in  progresui.        i 

A  Mrs.  Eliza  Wilsonj  and  her  son  William,  appe&red 
>>efore  the  Surrogate  and  claimed  to  be  the  widow_ 
»nd  son  resi-ectively  I  of  the  deceased.  One  of  the' 
Administrators.  Hon{  Jared  V.  Peck,  says  :  "  We 
ran  easilv  prove  that  '^illiam  Wilson  in  not  the  son 
rtf  John  X.  Merritt,  and  that  Eliza  A.  Wilson  is  not 
Merritts  widow."  'fhe  following  is  given  as  the 
status  of  the  case  at  present: 

The  first  law-suit  was  that  regarding  the  cutting 
and  removal  of  the  grass  on  the  Homestead.  The 
facts  regarding  these  suits,  which  in  the  end  resulted 
in  Mr.  Pecksiavor.  are  as  follows  : 

1.  Judge  Dykman  issued  an  injunction  restraining 
William  Wilson  and  Ezra  Wetmore  from  interfering 
with  J.  y.  Peck  in  catting  the  grass  on  the  Merritt 
rarm.  J 

2.  Judge  GUbert.  of  Brooklyn,  issued  an  injunction 
Bgain.st  J^  V.  Peck  restraining  him,  but  the  next  dav 
he  modified  his  injunction  so  &s  to  permit  J.  V.  Peck 
to  cut  and  remove  the  grMS. 

3.  Judge  Dykman  modified  his  injunction,  permit- 
ting Wilson  to  cut  the  grass  on  the  homestead,  and — 

4.  He  rescinded  his  i>erniit  to  cut  the  grass  on  the 
homestead  by  Wilsori.  and  gave  the  power  to  Knapp 
ftlater.  he  being  an  heir  to  that  part  of  the  farm— J. 
V.  Peck  having  no  interest  in  the  homestead. 

One-half  of  the  homestead,  about  80  acres,  is  in- 
herited by  the  Merritt  branch  of  the  faintly — John  A, 
Merritt  having  inherited  it  from  his  father— while 
the  other  part  is  inherited  by  the  coufrins  and  the  de- 
fendants. Knapp  Slater  represents  the  Merritt 
branch,  and  Mr.  Pedi  the  cou-sins.  It  seems  that 
Wilson  and  others  have  taken  possession  of  the 
homestead,  and  Judge  Barnard  has  cited  Wilson, 
Tappen,  and  Stillwell  to  appear  and  show  cAUse,  on 
Monday,  why  they  should  not  be  fined  and  impris- 
oned for  contempt  of  court.  On  Wednesday  next, 
also.  Judge  Bantard  will  hear  the  evidence  on  Mr. 
Wilson's  motion  to  ;dissolve  the  injunction.  The 
Wilson  interest,  in  thieir  evidence,  attempt  to  prove, 
bv  the  affida^-its  of  Ekra  Wetmore,  Joseph  Merritt, 
William  Wilson,  and  Prof.  George  W.  Smith,  that  it 
has  never  been  disputed  that  William  Wilson 
■was  John  A.  Merrjitts  son ;  while  some  30 
prominent  citizens,  including  J-  E.  Marshall,  J. 
W  LonnsbuTT.  George  P.  Weeks.  Capt.  Alvah  Lyon, 
Capt.  Isaac  Martin,  Edward  X..  Weeks,  William  ^ew- 
jnan.  Drs.  Matthews  and  Sands,  swear  that  thev 
never  heard  it  asserted,  or  ever  considered  that  Wil- 
son was  Mr.  Merritt's  son ;  and  the  afiSdavits  of  some 
of  the  witnesses  are  exceedingly  strong  regarding  the 
birth  of  Wilson,  and  Mrs.  Wilson's  character.  On 
the  Sth  inst..  on  petition  of  Hon.  J.  V.  Peck  and  Mr. 
Campbell,  administrators,  the  final  accotmting  is  to 
he  held  before  Surrogate  Coffin,  when  Wilson  and 
«thers  will  be  obliged  to  submit  their  evidence. 

COL.  I>ES  AKGES  PSRDOKED. 
Col  Robert  Des  Auges,  formerly  a  Deptity 
Collector  at  the  Ctistom-house,  who  was  tried  and 
convicted  on  Nov.  20,  1875,  in  the  United  atates 
Circuit  Court,  of  complicity  in  the  notorious  Lawrence 
BmnggUng  frauds.'  and  who  T?as  sentenced  to  two 
years  in  the  Albany  Penitentiary,  with  the  additional 
penalty  of  $10,000  fine,.  In  default  of  which  he  waa 
10  stand  committed  nntil  the  amount  waa  paid,  served 
out  his  two  years'  term  on  July  26.  Upon  the  repre- 
sentation of  the  District  Attorney  that  the  prisoner 
was  unable  to  pay  the  fine,  and  that  if  he  was  re- 
leaiied  he  would  give  valtiable  information  in  relation 
to  the  frauds  in  which  he  participated.  President 
Hayes  on  Monday  last  granted  him  a  full  and  uncon- 
ditional pardon.  The  pardon  was  received  by  United 
States  Marshal  Pajfn  yesterday,  and  an  officer  was 
«ent  immediately  to  notify  the  prisoner.

A  NEW-JERSET  STRIKER  IN  OOJTRT. 
/rank  McCleary,  the  Financial  Secretary  of 
the  Brakemen's  Brotherhood  of  the  Central  Railway 
of  New-Jersey,  who  Is  charged  with  having  conspired 
to  produce  a  strike  amon^  the  brakemen  on  the  road, 
had  an  examination  before  Justice  Davis,  in  Jersey 
Caty.  y«6teiday  afternoon-  Th®  co?iP*?y  w^ta 
hold  Um  nndsr  a  statute  passed  in  1877,  making  it 
a  miademea&or  to  i  obitnict  travel  on  any  road- 
Several  witnessea  were  examined-  Two  or  three  of 
^sitMtifladtJut  VoOleaxT  had  aocifladthem  to 


quit  work  on  the  road  j  till  farther  notice.  Other 
Inmkemen  swore  that  he  had  told  them  that  It  would 
not  be  safe  for  them  to  take  the  tcslns  out ;  that

ENFOECLNG  2ME  EXCISE  LAW. 

WILL  THE  POLICE  EXECUTE  THE  NEW  GEN- 
ERAL ORDER  t-^RUSHING  TO  THE  EX- 
CISE  OFFICE  FOR  HOTEL  LICENSES — THE 
POSITION  OP  TH^SE  HOLDING  RECEIPTS. 
The  long-expected  general  order  of  the  Board 
of  Police  in  regard  to  the  enforcement  of  the  Excise 
law  was  issued  to  the  force  yesterdaf .  The  text  of 
the  order,  which  was  pnjblished  in  THE  TiMES,  has 
already  called  forth  ii^nch  criticism,  and  a  wide 
diversity  of  opinion  exisis  as  to  how  it  ■will  be  en- 
forced. To  a  Times  reporter  Superintendent  Wal- 
ling said  yestenlay  that  no  special  instructions 
had  accompanied  '  th<»  order,  but  that  the 
Captains  of  the  various  precincts  were  ex- 
pected to  enforce  it  without  fear  or 
favor.  *'  Are  yon  going  to  *  pull '  Gilmore's'  Garden 
on  Sunday  nights  ? ''  askod  the  reporter.  The  Super- 
intendent shrugged  his  shoulders.  "  I  cannot  enter 
into  details,"  he  said  ;  "  I  ran  only  s.iy  generally  that 
a  Captain  will  be  held  reispnnsible  for  the  condition 
of  his  precinct,  and  if  the  violation  of  the  law  is 
winked  at,  the  board  wil]  take  cognizance  of  it.  The

to  start  an  "inn.  tavern,  or  hotel,"  and  had  bcfu

arrested  for  illegally  gr&ntnig  a  license  to  a  Grai  of 
Ballon  keepers  doing  l[usijnes-i  in  Paik-'-ow.  The 
case  was  brought  bei'ore  ^us[ii-e  Sniith,  in  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  and  was  elal  orately  jirgurd  on  both 
sides.  The  matter  was  ijhcTi  left  in  the  hands  of  the 
court,  who  proiniNed  t'l  igive  it  his  early  nttf^ntion. 
and  render  a  deci.'^ion  onj  it.  .Since  iheii  nothing  h:is 
been  heard  from  him-  It'ei  rins  tluit  he-  ini^ht  li;ive 
forgotten  all  about  this  important  ranttt-r.  a  re- 
porter ventured  to  nsk  Ithe  .Tii.stii'f  yesterd-iy  wh;tt 
ne  proposed  to  df>  jabii'mt  it.  He  was  told 
that  the  Justice  really  eonldj  not  wiy.  a«  he  had  bpen 
so  busy  that  he  hnd  not  luditime  to  give  the  subje'-t 
that  -  attention  -whii-h  IM  gravity  demfluded,  Hfi 
hoped,  however,  to  l>e  able  to  dispose  of  it  pretty 
soon.  It  is  safe  to  .say  tlint  it  he  dcci.«ion  of  al'oli.e 
Court  will  not  settle  the  oxrise  qup>tion  one  w.iy  or 
the  other,  and  if  the  cnse  in  |  point  were  only  dc-uled 
by  Justice  Smith  nnd  apptiuled  to  a  higher  court, 
(which  it  certainly  will  bp  in  nny  evrnt.)  innd  there 
decided,  there  would  be  poni^  precedent  on  whirh  all 
the  cases  might  he  brouirit  before  the  courts  without 
further  unnece.ssar>'  delay. 

Amone  the  wejilthier;  defllprs  the  nntinn  of  any- 
thing more  than  temporary  intprferenre  by  the 
Police  is  scouted  as  ridicjtlpus.  "They  tried  it  in 
1866,  they  tried  it  in  I-'IS,  and  they  tried  it  last 
Summer,  and  they  failed!  every  time,  and  will  fail 
now,"  said  the  proprietbr  r>t  a  prominent  down- 
town restaurant  last  I  eyening  to  a  reporter 
of  The  Times.  ''Thelfa-rt  is.  ad. led  he.  "the 
Police  Commissioners  are  only  scared  into  thu*  thing 
by  the  terapenince  people  and  the  t€-totalei^  threat- 
ening to  impeach  t  tern.  Tl^ev  wouldn't  do  it  if  they 
eotild  help  It,  and  they  will  only  make  a  show  of 
doing  it  as  it  is.  The  fact  is  that  the  law  is  utterly 
impracticable,  iinpopular  with  the  grent  mass 
of  the  community,  and  would  be  voted  down 
by  a  majority  even  |  of  the  respectable 
classes  if  submitted  |to  a  popular  vote. 
Chancellor  Crosby  admits  it  when  he  says  that  a 
proposition  to  allow  "the  sale  of  wine  and  beer  under 
proper  restriction  -would  Ve  anriors*-*.!  by  IT.'^.OOO  ont 
of  the  200,000  voters  of'th*^  Metropolis.  Next  yc.ir 
the  Legislature  will  be  forced  to  pass  a  law  ihat'wiU 
meet  the  approbation  of  reisnectable  liquor  dcilers 
and  of  the  moderate  tempehmce  people,  and  then, 
and  not  till  then,  will  wei  have  peace.'' 


ANAFFECTIXG  SCENE  tx  A  POLICE  COTTRT. 
An  affecting  scene  "vra^  witnessed  in  the  Es- 
sex Market  Police  Court  I  resterdav  afternoon  when 
Conrad  Schaffer,  a  respectjsble-appearing  Ge'rm.iu, 
charged  his  only  daughter,  liena,  with  leading  a  life 
of  shame.  With  great  dijfficalty,  and  after  repeated 
efCorts,  the  father  toldj  hf  w  his  child  had  left  tier 
pleasant  home  in  WUliamsbui^h  to  obtain  work  as 
a  servant,  and  after  living  fi:  r  a  short  time  in  several 
places,  had  gone  on  the  town.  He  had  found  her 
In  a  house  of  ill-famje  on  Blee  eke r- street. 
Justice  Kilbreth  questionci^  the  girl  with  regard  to 
her  numner  of  life  and  the  qiuse  of  it.  She  too  was 
deeply  affected,  and  she  answered  with  apparent 
candor,  not  denying  hei:  father's  accusation.  She 
said  she  was  18  years  old,  j^Vhile  at  home  she  had 
been  obliged,  she  said,  to  w^ork  everj*  day,  including 
Sundays,  and  when  she  ^eut  out  to  service  her 
father  would  call  upon  her  and  by  his  conduct  create 
in  the  minds  of  her  empjoyers  stispicions  against  her, 
in  consequence  of  which  |she  was  repeatedly  dis- 
charged ;  that  she  had  j  bejen  in  the  habit  while  in 
service  of  visiting  her  putrents  every  two  weeks,  but 
that  she  always  had  trouble  with  them  and  so  dis- 
continued her  visits.  Finally,  having  been  out  of 
work  two  weeks;  she  entered  the  house  in  which  she 
was  found,  told  her  trouble^  to  a  woman  there,  and 
accf^pted  an  invitation  I  to{  stay.  In  reply  to  the 
Judge's  inquiry,  she  said!  that  she  wanted  to  reform, 
but  would  not  return  to  her  father's  house.  The 
girl  was  conamitted  for  six  months  lo  the  care  of  the 
^ters of  Mercy.  j  _l

SPORT— THE  ENTRIES  AND  POOLS  FOB  TO- 
DAY'S EVENTS. 
Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  3. — Baclng  gossip 
continues  to  monopolize  the  attention  of  the  loungers 
on  the  piazzas,  and  yesterday's  events  were  dis- 
cussed to-day,  in  which  discussion  it  has  been  ex- 
plained why  such  a  horse  did  not  win  who  shotild 
haye  won,  and  it  has  become  very  clear  to 
tbe|  understanding  of  the  combination  book- 
makers that  the  wrong  horses  were  first  too 
many  times.  They  were  badly  hit  again  yesterday, 
as  t|he  dead  heat  in  the  last  race  caught  them  both 
ways.  All  the  combinations  ending  with  Trouble 
anc  Waller  paid  half  the  money  the  book-makers  laid 
agftdn-U  tiiem,  and  made  "hedging"  a  had  htisiness. 
Thi?re  has  been  much  criticism  of  the  judges  in  regard 
to  their  decision  in  the  steeple-chase,  as  It  was  ap- 
parent to  all  disinterested  persons  on  the  grand  stand 
thflb  Trouble  had  ,won  the  race,  and  the  mutual 
pool  Speculators  began  to  pay  the  Trouble  tickets  at 
the  usual  discount.  In  justice  to  the  judges  on  this 
(decision,  it  may  be  said  that  every  close  finish  on  this 
trai^k  has  given  rise  to  diverse  opinions,  because  the 
pec  pli )  on  the  grand  stand  see  the  finish 
at    a     different    angle     from     the    judges.      This 

Jan  and  should  be  obviated  by  removing

COLLECTOR  FREELANiyS  CASE. 


WHAT  THE  ACCUSED  HAS  TO  SAY  CONCERN- 
ING THE  CHABGE£  AGAINST  HIM — HE  IS 
BEADT  AND  BAg4b  FOB  AN  INVESTIGA 
TION. 

There  are  no  fresh  pa  rticulftra  of  consequence 
to  note  in  the  case  of  Iitemal  Revenue  Collector 
Preeland.  of  Brooklyn,  Who  (as  published  in  The 
TiMBS  yesterday)  is  charged  at  Washington  with 
aerioufl  Iri^egularities  in  the  management  of  the 
affairs  of  Wa  district,  and  there  will  be  none  until 
Mr.  Brooks,  Chief  of  the  Secret  Service  Bureau,  to 
whom  the  eiaminntion  of  the  business  of  Mr.  Free- 
land's  o£Qce  has  been  intrusted,  begins  his  in- 
vestigation. It  is'  not  definitely  known  when 
this  will  be,  but  a  visit  fro  m.  the  Chief  is  expected  on 
Monday,  if  it  should  noi  occur  to-day.  Collector 
Freeland's  troubles  were  t  le  talk  of  Brooklyn  yes- 
terday. There  were  many  who  warmly  sympathized 
with  him.  and  believed  hir  I  guiltless  of  the  alleged 
wrong.  There  were  not  a  few,  on  the  other  han«i, 
who,  while  not  expressit  *  any  opinion  as  to  his 
guilt  or  innocence,  w  're  decidedly  in  favor 
of  his  removal  In  any  e*  -nt.  The  Collec- 
tor himself  was  in  gond  spirits,  and  confident 
of  an  honorable  vindication  from  all  the  a.s- 
persions  which  had  been,  cast  upon  hira.  All  he 
knew  about  the  charges  against  hira  was  what  ho  had 
seen  in  The  Times,  and  what  he  had  seen  ^here 
amounted  to  nothing.  About  the  time  of  President 
Hayes'  inau^iratiorn.  the  Collector's  office  had  been 
inspected,  and  investigated,  and  examined,  and  turned 
upside  down  by  officials  delegated  to  look  into  every 
book  In  it,  and  every  nook;and  comer  of  it,  and  noth- 
ing had  been  found  that  reflected  discredit  upon  his 
management  of  th0  Government's  affairs  in  a  single 
particular.  He  Tvais  ready  now.  a.s  then,  to  meet  any 
and  all  chatges,  and  rested  senire  in  the  conseion«- 
ness  that  it  would  'be  sho^vn  that  there  was  nothing 
to  be  found  on  which  he  cnnl>i  be  taken  to  task. 

Mr.  Silas  Boone,!  the  Peputy  Colle<-tor  under  Mr. 
Freeland,  cannot  .sdequstely"  express  his  contempt 
for  the  persons  who  have  broueht  the  charges  against 
his  chief,  ".whoever  thev  itiay  be.'  There  Ls  not  the 
sliphtest  foundation  for  their  complaints,  he  savs, 
and  Chief  Brooks  will  find  thnt  out  to  his  satisfaction 
before  he  has  been  many  hoTirs  enga::ed  in  his  in- 
vestigation. It  Wfis  ridiculons.  to  Mr.  Boone's  rninii 
that  Collector  Freeland  ever  had,  or  ever  would  have. 
Government  stamps  weitrited  >'y  tJie  pound  in.stcid  of 
havlnc  them  counted.  The  only  object  In  doing  this 
would  be  to  defrajud  the  (iovemment.  and  this,  he 
was  certain.  Mr.  Freeland  would  not  do.  Mr.  Bo.,ne 
was  not  prepared  tjo  speak  about  the  other  cbarges, 
but  he  said  he  did  not  I»elieve  any  of  them. 

The  United  States  officials  in  Brooklyn  sav  they 
know  nothing  about  the  ichanres  Hgains't,  Collecio'r 
Freeland  except  what  theyj  have  read  in  the  newRpa- 
pers.  but  thoy  seem  to  be'<!tf  the  opinion  tliat  that  of- 
ficer will  cive  a  good  a^cfiunt  of  himsr-Ii  and  of  the 
manner  in  which  be  j  conducts  bis  busineRs 
whenever  '  he  is  .called  npon.  Tlie  r»,tVn- 
A  fffitji,  which  is  edited  by  Mr.  Freeland  s 
friend.  Mr.  Piilmeri  says  that  the  "true  inwardness' 
of  the  whole  matter  is  th*it  "  it  t.s  another  of  those 
childish  and  futile  efforts  to  hurl  Mr.  Beecher  an"! 
tftcast  odium  upoiii  his  frif^ids."  It  seems  to  think 
that  the  charges  "will  bring  execration  and  contempt 
upon  the  accuser,  if  they  do  not  consign  him  to  the 
contemplation  of  ihe  hca,vens  thmnch  a  grated  win- 
dow." Meanwhilel  nobody  .seems  to  know  who  the 
accuser  is.  1 

It  is  understood  in  Rmol|cl\-n  that  the  opposition  to 
Mr.  Freeland  has  arisen  r^n  acrount  of  the  discour- 
teous manner  In  which  he  and  his  deputies  havp 
treated  cig^ir-makers  and}  other  person*  who  are 
obliged  tovifilt  his  omre.j  .Ml  they  w;int  is  th«t  a 
younger,  more  cnmpetenti  and  more  obliginc  man 
shall  be  appointed  in  his  place.  It  i.s  also  understood 
that  the  plan  of  weighing  instead  of  counting  stamp?* 
was  actually  adonled  al»out  two  years  fttfo.  but  there 
is  the  emphatic  denial  of  Cjollector  Freeland  and  half 
a  dozen  others  to; offset  thils  claim. 


i    CRICKET. 


T&XTCK  ,  QASTE  BETWEEN  THE  MANHATTAN 
CLUB  AND  THE  MERIONR  OF  PHILADELPHIA 
— THE  FORMEB  ThIe  VICTORS. 
There,  T^raa  a  match  game  of  cricket  played 
yesterday  on  the  Ptospect  I  Park  Parade  ground  be- 
tween the  Manhattan  Club  and  the  Merion  Club,  of 
Philadelphia.  A  considerable  number  of  cricketers 
gathered  on  the  ground  }to  witness  the  game,  and 
the  play,  at  times  brilli&nti  was  roundly  applauded. 
The  turf  was  in  good  condition  and  the  day  was  fa- 
vorable, there  being  a  light  breeze  blowing  during 
the  whole  game.  Play  commenced  soon  after  11 
o'clock  A.  M.,  with  the  Manhattans  at  the 
wickets  and  the  Meriona  in  the  field.  Hos- 
ford  and  Jenkins  were  the  first  to  use  the 
bats  and  made  a  fine  stand  for  50  runs  :  they  were 
at  the  wickets  one  hour  and  a  half.  Jenkins  was 
bowled  out,  and  Hosford  was  run  out  by  a  mistake 
of  Greig's.  Braithwatte's  bowling  was  excellent,  his 
record  showing  125  balls  delivered,  only  23  runs 
made  on  them,  while  8  maidens  and  7  wickets  are 
scored  to  his  credit.  During  this  inning  Greig  made 
several  good_  leg  hits,  for  which  he  is  noted,  and 
scored  two  f  otir  and  several  three  hits  ;  Graham  was 
bo*led  out  before  he  struck  a  ball ;  and  Stroud,  at 
long  off  position,  missed  an  easy  driver  and  caught 
a  very  cUf^cult  one  from  Grei^.  Tne  ^-isitors  are 
young  and  active  men,  and  their  fielding  was  ea-sy 
and  graceful,  but  to  ,  be  more  effective  it 
needs  carelPul  cultivation.  The-  Manhattans'  first 
inning  lasted  nearly  three  nours  and  they  made  107 
runs.  The  Merions  played  but  one  inning.  In  this 
innLig  they  made  00  runs,  twenty  of  which  must  be 
credited  to  Braithw^te,  altbough  Bailey,  Anderson, 
and  Comfort  made  some  ven^  good  hits  for  three 
runs  each.  ^  In  this  inning  McDougal  made  a  splendid 
catch  at  point,  taking  the  ball  hot  from  George  Ash- 
bridge's  oat.  Greig,  Jenkins,  and  Hooper  did  some 
very  effective  bowling  and  Graham  made  three 
wickets  off  il8  balls.  The  second  inning  of  the  Man- 
hattans was  for  practice.  It  lasted  about  half  an  hotir, 
when  the  game  was  called,  to  allow  the  Philadel- 
phians  time  to  reach '  Staten  Island,  where  they  play 
a  game  to-day.    The  following  is  the  score:

yesterday,  and  President  Lui"r;errj-.  of  tho  City 
Council  was  compelled  to  c-tU  ont  the  s-ospendfl

between  Messrs.  Hall  and  Brewster,  who  crvra  a  dock. 
Brewster  denied  Hall's  right  to  tuiload  cn:il  a:  the 
dock,  and  had  placed  some  hesvy  timliers  upon  the 
dock  so  as  to  obstruct  it.  and  when  Hall  s  raen  under-

Monday.  July  16,  1877.  J 

At  7  o'clock  this  morning  tlie  fortress  of 
Nikopolis.  with  its  40  ^ns,  two  monitors,  and 
garrison  of  6,0OO  men,  surrendered  to  the  army- 
corps  of  three  divisions  of  infantry,  one  divi- 
sion of  cavalry,  and  eight  batteries,  commanded 
by  the  Enssdan  General,  Baron  Krlidener.  From 
about  noon  yesterday  we  could  perceive  through 
our  glasses  an  unusual  bustle  and  movement  in 
the  town :  the  citadel  ajid  the  monitors  fired 
spasmodically  at  Islacz  and  Tumu-MagureUi ; 
small  bands  of  Cossack  SorSemen  showed  them- 
selves along  the  ridge  of  hiUs  running  parallel 
with  the  river,  as  if  onareconnoissance ;  the  d^ 
tachment  which  had  received  the  Roumanian 
visit  on  Saturday  night  retired  inland,  and  the 
occasional  booming  of  heavy  guns  on  the  land 
front  of  the  works  indicated  that  at  least  a 
strong  demonstration  :  was  being  made  on 
that  side  against  the  town.  The  cannonade 
Increased  in  intensity  as  the  day  wore  by,  until, 
by  nightfall,  it  had  assumed  the  proportions  of 
a  regular  and  well-sustained  bombardment,  and 
it  became  evident  that  Nikopolis  was  seriously 
attacked.  The  Russian  batteries  gradually  got 
Into  position  on  the  neighboring  heights,  and 
fired  by  salvoes ;  but,  from  our  side  of  the  river, 
we  cotild  only  judge  of  the  progress  of  the  en- 
gagement by  its  sounds  eU  view  of  the  opera- 
tions against  the  southern  front  being  shut  off 
by  a  ridge  of  hills,  until  about  R  P.  M..  when 
some  field  guns,  supported  by  a  column  of  cav- 
alry, drove  off  a  Turkish  battalion  stationed 
there  and  opened  upon,  the  town,  receiving  a 
feeble  reply  from  the  citadel  and  the  monitors, 
which,  in  their  turn,  were  shelled  from  Islacz 
and  Tumu-ilagurelli. 

Nikopolis  is  built  on  both  sides  of  the  opening 
of  the  Valley  of  the  Osma,  at  the  point  where 
the  river  of  that  name  empties  its  waters  into 
the  Danube,  here  forming  a  deep  curve,  defended 
by  two  steep  promontories,  on  one  of  which  stands 
the  citadel,  on  the  other  a  tall  watch-tower, 
with  an  epaulement  an^  a  few  old  gun.s  at  its 
base.  The  emtinte  of  the  town  consists  of  a  low, 
irregularly-shaped  basxioned  front,  with  the 
narrow,  shallow  ditches;common  to  all  ancient 
Turkish  fortresses,  but  no  detached  works  had 
been  erecte<l  at  any  point  of  the  surrounding 
hills  from  which  the  position  is  commanded, 
except  at  the  little  villaire  of  .Simonitz,  where  a 
redan,  with  a  couple  of  guns,  held  out  until 
nearly  10  P.  M..  when  it-s  fire  ceased,  and.  to 
judge  from  the  rattle  of  the  musketry,  it  was 
stormed.  All  through  the  night  the  cannonade 
went  on  unceasingly,  the  noise  of  small  arms 
mingling,  from  time  to  time,  with  the  roar  of 
the  heavy  piecasi.  We  could,  in  reality,  see  very 
little,  as  the  general  employment  of  percussion 
projectiles  has  done  away  with  much  of  the 
spectacular  grandeur  of  a  bombardment,  but 
the  Turks  threw  a  few  old-fashioned  fuze  shells, 
and  the  flaShes  of  the  giins  on  the  citadel  and 
In  the  monitors  and  the  lurid  glare  of  the 
flames  in  the  burning  town  gave  a  cer- 
tain relief  to  the  picture.  About  11  P.  M. 
there  was  a  slight  lull  in  the  storm,  and  then  a 
crash  of  musketr>-.  lasting  some  10  minutes, 
followed  by  a  redoubling  of  fury  in  the  cannon- 
ade, betokening  an  assault  or  a  sortie  and  a  re- 
pulse. Half  a  dozen  times,  before  morning, 
was  this  performance  repeated,  for  the  Turks 
seemed  to  fight  with  all  their  traditional  fury 
when  behind  intrenchments,  but  the  crowning 
by  the  enemy  of  the  ridge  of  hills  in  rear 
slowly  but  surely  overcame  their  stubborn  de- 
tenninaMoiL  Gradually  their  fire  slackened, 
then  ceased  entirely,  and  then  reopened  more 
fiercely  than  ever,  as  if  with  a  dying  effort,  and 
at  last,  at  7  o'clock,  the  red  flag  was  lowered, 
and  the  black  eagle  of  Russia  floated  over  the 
ramparts  of  the  Turkish  fortress.  The  resist- 
ance was  most  gallant,  as  was  the  attack,  and 
the  losses  on  both  sides  must  have  been  very 
heavy,  as  the  Osmanli  made  several  sorties,  and 
the  Russian  forlorn  hope  was  repulsed  three 
times  in  its  attempt  to  storm  the  breach,  after 
the  southern  front  had  been  battered  down 
\fj  their  artillery. 

The  defense  of  Nikopolis,  whose  works  are  of 
the  most  insignificant  character,  is  an  earnest 
of  what  may  be  expected  in  the  quadrilateral 
and  on  the  line  of  the  Balkans,  where  the  posi- 
tions are  really  formidable  and  the  numbers 
will  be  more  nearly  eqtial.  It  fully  justifies  my 
prediction  that  the  Turks  would  die  as  gamely 
as  their  ancestors  had  done  whenever  they  were 
called  upon  to  defend  their  firesides,  and  had  a 
wall  of  some  sort  Iwtween  them  and  their  enemy 
to  give  them  the  confidence  which  they  lack  in 
the  open  field,  and  their  commanders.  Achmet 
and  Assam  Pasbas  deserve  every  credit  for 
holding  out  as  they  did  during  12  nours  against 
superior  forces  and  heavier  metal,  with  the  cer- 
tainty of  defeat  before  them.  The  Roumanians 
pretend  that  their  batteries  at  Islacz  contrib- 
uted very  materially  to  the  success  of  the  en- 
gagement, but  as  the  action  was  fought  on  the 
land  side,  entirely  out  of  sight  of  any  one  on 
the  left  bank,  and  as  there  is  an  ab.seuce  of  all 
testimony  except  their  own  word  on  the  sub- 
ject. I  am  inclined  to  think  that  their  achieve- 
ments last  night  were  limited  to  the 
expenditure  of  much  ammunition,  and 
to  the  driving  in  of  a  Turidsh  bat- 
talion which  was  endeavoring  to  make  a 
movement  against  the  Rusr  ian  left  flank  or  to 
retreat  to  Kahova-^probably  the  latter.  The 
capture  of  the  two  monitors  is  a  more  serious  blow 
to  the  Turks  than  even  the  surrender  of  the 
garrison,  and  it  must  be  admitted  that  national 
energy  and  courage  is  not  well  represented  by 
the  Naval  Department  of  the  Empire  ;  ofeef  by 
one  the  formidable  flotilla  of  the  Danube  is 
melting  away,  and  that  too  without  the  accom- 
plishment of  :i  single  act  beyond  the  shelling  of 
a  few  open  towns  or  defenseless  villages,  al- 
though with  ordinary  pluck  they  might  have 
prevented  the  movement  on  Sistova  and  have 
rammed  to  pieces  the  one  bridge  which  secured 
the  communications  of  the  army  of  operations 
with  its  base  of  supplies.  The  Navy  may  do 
better  under  Hobart  Pasha  in  the  Black  Sea.  but 
it  has  made  a  wretched  exhibition  of  itself  on  the 
Danube.  The  town  must  have  suffered  terri- 
bly, ail  of  thp  lower  part,  which  was  built  of  wood, 
was  in  flames  during  the  night,  and  heavy 
clouds  ol  black  smoke,  with  a  lurid  fringe 
around  them,  still  hang  over ,  it  like  a  funeral 
pall,  while  few  of  the  delicate  minarets  and  bril- 
uant  copper-domed  mosques  which  used  to  ^leam 
so  brighuv  in  the  mid.tt  of  a  sea  of  verdure  re- 
main oninjured.  This  much  we  can  see  through 
our  glasses,  but  no  solicitation  on  the  part  of 
any  one  can  procure  a  permit  to  cross  the  river. 
NiJLopolis  was  a  thriving  port  of  entry  to  Bul- 
garia before  the  war.  and  has  a  certain  strategic 
importance  now.  as  it  stands  at  the  head  of  all 
the  lines  of  communication  between  the  Danube 
and  the  interior,  but  its  population,  composed 
of  about  equal  proportions  of  clean  Turks  and 
filthy  Christians,  has  remained  stationary  in 
point  of  numbers  since  1S35  :  it  was  10,000 
uien,  and  it  counts  about  10,000  now  in  this 
month  of  July,  1877.  Last  night's  battle  is 
not  the  first  which  has  |t)een  fought  in  its 
environs.  Beneath  its  walls  the  flower  of  the 
French  and  Burgundian  cSivahT-  under  Jean 
Sans  Feur  and  Philippe  of  Artois  was  exter- 
minated, and  in  1396  the  army  of  Sigismund 
of  Hungary  laid  down  its  arms  before  the  Sultan 
Bsjazet 

A  Russian  officer,  who  has  come  over  -with 
dlfjKtff^**  informs  me  that  the  town  is  smashAd 


to  pieces,  and  that  the  streets  are  filled  with 
dead  and  wounded.  Of  these  last,  boatloads 
are  being  rowed  across  to  Tumu-Severin  every 
minute.  The  population  is  utterly  cowed,  but 
its  Christian  element  is  very  jubilant,  and  of- 
fered the  traditional  bread  and  salt  to  the  vic- 
tors, as  soon  as  the  notablesi  had  recovered  suffi- 
ciently from  their  fright  to  crawl  out  of  their 
hiding-places.  Where  these  were  1  am  at  a 
loss  to  imagine,  as  cellars  in  Oriental  dwellings 
are  very  rare  exceptions.  There  is  no  ques- 
tion that  the  casualties  amobg  the  non-com- 
batants must  have  been  frlgh^iUy  numerous, 
both  from  the  effects  of  the  bombardment  and 
the  probable  exce.sses  of  the  Tiurklsh  soldiery, 
whose  rage  in  moments  of  |  defeat  always  vents 
itself  upon  the  wounded  !  and  the  lilfp- 
less,  and  stories  of  mtitilition  and  mas- 
sacre are  circulated  and  Ihelieved.  That  the 
Chri.stiahs  are  delighted  that  the  danger  is  over 
there  can  be  no  doubt,  tor  lit  lis  not  pleasant  to 
have  one's  crockery  demolished,  a*d  one's  house 
rendered  uninhabitable  by  10-inch  shells,  at 
any  hour  of  the  day  or  night,  but  they  would 
have  gone  through  the  same  bread  and  salt  and 
wine  demonstrations  if  the  conquerors  had  been 
iloslem  instead  of  their  own  cO-religionists,  and 
they  are  quite  ready  to  do  .so  wjith  just  as  much 
fervor,  if,  by  any  turn  in  the  tide  of  war,  the 
O.imanli  should  come  back  again.  The  Bul- 
garian Christian  on  his  native  heath  is  a  disa- 
greeable person,  a  whining,  sycophantic  hound, 
always  willing  to  lick  the  hand  which  strikes 
him.  and  ever  ready  to  betray  even  Ms  own 
brother  if  he  can  make  anything  for  himself  by 
the  treason.  We  saw  enough  of  thus  la-st  Sum- 
mer, when  the  gallant  little  detachment  of  Rus- 
sian volunteers,  which  had  crossed  the  Timok 
and  driven  out  the  Florentin  garrison,  was  sold 
to  Osman  Pasha  by  one  of  tlieir  Bulgarian  re- 
cruits, and  was  taken  and  I  bdtchered'to  a  man 
for  a  handftU  of  Turkish  gojld.  I

THE  ATROCITIES  I\  BULGARIA. 

A  STATEMENT  FROM  TUB  TURKISH  MINISTER 
OF  FOREIGN  AFFAIRS  DETAILING  RUSSIAN 
AND  BULGARIAN  ACTS  OF  BARBARITY. 

Aristarehi  Bey,  the  Turkish  Minister  in 
this  City,  furnishes  the  following:  "The 
Jlinister  for  Foreign  Affairs  has  addressed  the 
following  circular  to  the  diplomatic  agents  Of 
the  Porte  abroad : 

'  I  continue  to  perform  the  most  painful  duty 
in  calling  your  attention  to  the  new  acts  of  bar- 
barity which,  from  the  telegrams  received 
by  the  Sublime  Porte,  are  committed  by 
the  Russians  in  the  cities  and  villages 
they  invade.  They  don't  limit  themselves 
|to  plunder  the  Mussulrnap  population  Of 
all  it  owns,  but  they  also  s  jbject  the  woipen  anil 
children  to  the  most  sham  rfiil  and  dreadful  tor- 
tures, and  that  even  the  day  after  a  ptjoclama- 
tion  by  the  Emperor  Alexander  wherein  was 
promiaed  to  the  Mussulman  inhabitants  security 
and  justice  for  their  persons,  for  their  families, 
and  their  property.  The  following  are  some  of 
the  recent  acts  of  cnielty  which  have  be^n 
brought  to  our  knowledge :  The  '  inhabi- 
tants of  Terns,  near  Timova,  having, 
on  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  taken  refuge  in 
the  Mosque,  were  burned  alive  in  the  inelosure. 
The  enemy  having  met  300  carts  filled  with  fu- 
gitive fainilies,  destroyed  them  with  caimon 
shots,  then  completed  Uieir  work  of  extermina- 
tion in  massacring  all  the  men  and  women 
they  could  find  in  every  suburb  or 
village  occupied  by  Russian  troops. 
The  dwellings  of  the  Mussulmans 
were  given  up  to  the  flames.  The  Bulgarians, 
excited.by  the  example  of  the  Russians,  com- 
mit against  the  peaceful  and  resigned  Mussul- 
man population  acts  of  barbarity  and  outrages 
still  more  atrocious  andi  inore  horrible  than 
those  perpetrated  by  the  iiivaders.  It  is  necSs- 
sary  that  the  civilized  world  should  be  acquaint- 
ed with  these  horrors,  to  Express  its  indignatiqn 
and  to  brand  them.'  "1  t 

TURKEY  AND  RUSSIA. 

THE  TITEKISH     MINISTER     ON    THE  GENERAL 

SITUATION. 

From  the  Boston  Advertiser,  Aug.  4. 

On  Thursday  last  a  gentleman  from  this  city 
had  an  Interview  in  New-York  with  Aristarehi  Bey, 
Minister  for  Turkey  to  the  Unlied  States,  when  the 
following  convexsatiou  took  place  : 

His  Excdlency — ^This  is  a  very  sad  war,  but  it  is  one 
for  which  we  are  certainly  not  to  blame.  For  the 
last  20  years  Russia  has  endeavored,  by  every  means 
in  her  power,  to  force  npon  us  a  pretext  for  war. 
Wb  have  always  treated  her  with  the  greatest  con- 
sideratioii ;  we  have  Baffered  the  greatest  possible  in- 
dignities :  but  now  that  war  Is  forced  npon  us  we  in- 
tend to  do  the  best  wo  can,  and  flght  to  the  last  gasp. 

Q. ^The  war  has  not  been  brought  to  so  ipeeoy  a 

termination  as  was  expected  ? 

His  Excelleney— No.  Every  one  here  aeemsd  to 
think  that  we  should  be  swallowed  np ;  but  you  see 
we  ax©  still  fighting,  and  although  we  axe  sadly  tn- 
ferior  to  the  Russians,  yet  perlisps  one  of  those 
pieces  of  luck  may  occur  which  may  help  to  rid  us  bf 
this  terrible  state  of  affairs.  ; 

Q._i)o  you  consider  yoiir  sew  Oommander-hi- 
Ciuef  an  able  officer  1 

■His  Excellency— Yes,  he  Is  a  very  good  soldier,  but 

Solefanan  Pasha  is  quite  his  equal.     It  is  a  very 

absmd  report  which  has  got  abroad  tbat  Mehemet 

AliisaOerman.    He  came  to  Turkey  when  he  was 

,  onita  aa   infant,  ,^and  has  been  broo^t   U9    and 


educated  lln'  Turkey.  He  Is  as  much  a  Turk  as  I  am) 
although  his  origin  is  German,  and  his  father's  name 
was,  I  believe,  fehnlz. 

Q.— What  do  you  think  of  the  feeling  in  America 
with  regard  to  the  -Srar ) 

His  Excellency— At  flr»t|  when  the  war  broke  out, 
every  one  here  seemed  to  |8ympathize  with  the  Ras- 
sians.  It  went,  indeed,  soi  f«r  that  It  was  expected 
that  the  American  ladies  jwonld  go  in  a  body  to  the 
Bossian  Embassy  and  throw  their  diamonds  at  the 
Minister's  feet  for  the  use  of  tlie  Czar  ;  but  now  the 
feeling  seems  pretty  evenly  divided.  The  Republicans 
seem  to  sid^  with  Russia, ;  and  the  Democrats  with 
Turkey.  But  at  the  commencement  of  the  war  so 
•many  mistakes  were  made,  and  so  mnch  false 
news  wasipnblished  in  the'p.\pers.  that  I  do  not  won- 
der at  the  feeling  being  with  Russia.  Everybody 
knew  more  about  Turkey  than  I  did  myself.  The 
gentlemen  of  the  press  used  to  make  some  dreadful 
blunders  in  geography,  and  when  I  pointed  out  these 
mistakes  they  persisted  they  were  right,  even  down 
to  the  very  province  of  which  I  was  once  Governor. 

Q.^Talking  of  ofllc«iB,,how  is  Col.  Baker  appre- 
ciated ?     I     ' 

His  Excellency — ^From  oU  acconnts,  his  sert-ices  are 
very  mnch  appreciated,  especially  as  a  cavalry  officer. 
I  was  asked  the  other  day  by  an  American  gentleman 
if  I  did  not  consider  that  the  appointment  ^f  so  no- 
torious a  person  as  CoL  Btker  wcs  amistilke.  1  told 
him  that  t  did  not  think  »  was  any  worse  than  the 
recognition  of  >Ir.  Henry  Ward  Beecher  by  the 
.Americans. 

Q. — ^Tlie  stoppage  of  the  Providence  Tool  Company 
is  rather  a  serious  matter. 

His  Excellency — Yes.  I  only  heard  of  it  this  morn- 
ing, and  there  must  be  some  mistake.  I  coramuni- 
cated  at  once  with  Affek  Pasha,  and  the  matter  will 
be  settled  in  a  few  days. 

Q- — It  appears  the  company  do  not  wish  to  burden 
themselves  with  any  further  risk,  and  therefore  de- 
cline to  increase  their  liabilities  by  carrying  on  .such 
expensive  works. 

His  Excellency— They  have  been  paid  for  400,000 
rifles,  I  believe,  and  although  the  country  is  in  any- 
thing but  a  flourishing  condition  this  matter  will 
doubtless  be  attended  to  at  once. 

Q — ^Wl^at  do  you  think  of  the  Emperor's  request 
toj  i^nelaiiid;  respecting  the  Egyptian  troops  in  the 
Balkaiis  ll 

jfDs  Eiiellency— I  think  it  Is  no  doubt  true,  but  I 
also  think  it  is  the  most  absurd  piece  of  nonsense 
imaginable.!  England  is,  however,  too  sensible  not  to 
sefe  throukh  such  a  very  thin  veil.  No  doubt  it  was 
thpngbt  that  Ru5:sia  was  makinc  a  great  concessiou 
when  she  informed  Lord  I>erhy  "that  she  would  not 
cerry  the  war  into  EoTt.  Why,  the  thing  was  absurd, 
,*^ir;  how|was  she  going  to  get  there  ?  She  has  no  fleet. 
and  as  to'  hercomlng  from  Asia  Minor.  I  think  what- 
ever mi^ht  have  been  ,ier  chances  from  Ihsl  direction, 
th^y  exist  no  longer.  Even  supposing  Kats  had  fallen 
and  the  Russians  were  masters  of  that  part  of  Asia 
Minor,  the  distance  between  Erzeronm  and  the 
Egyptian  ft-ontier  does  not  mean  one  day's  march 
op  two  ;  it  is  a  verj-  considerable  distance,  and  not 
eyen  practicable  in"  a  fortnight  or  tlirce  weeks.  If  the 
Rnssisusi  had  100,000  men  in  Syria,  oreven  half 
that  number,  they  then  might  say  to  England,  with 
sopie  sort  of  basis.  We  I  db  not  intend  to  cross  the 
Egyptian  frontier.  But  they  have  no  w;^'  there  : 
they  have  no  troops  with  which  they  can  pflPsiDijyreach 
Egynt,  or  means  of  getting  them  there.  What.  then. 
is]  the  use  of  this  empty  conc<-ssion.  folioWed  by  tlio 
absurd  Intimation  respecting  Egyptian  troops  on  the 
Balkans  1  Besides,  if  Egyptian  troops  are  there. 
tl^ey  have  killed  some  of  ,  these  troops  as  well  as  the 
Turkish  ones.  And  they  treat  them  in  the  same  way 
asj  they  would  any  others  to  whom  they  may  be 
opposed.!  I 

^. — Hc^wido  you  account  for  Oen.  Gourko's  rapid 
advance  and  passage  of  the  Balk&ns  t 

His  Excellency — That|  was  no  doubt  effected 
thjrough  jlhe  agency  of  the  Bulgarian  insurgents — 
Htiacs  they  are  called — who  have  taken  refuge  in  the 
Balkans  jfor  some  lime  past,  and  ought  lone  ago  to 
have  been  summarily  dealt  with.  But  for  the  weak- 
ness of  pur  forces  Cten.  Gourko  would  have  been 
cut  to  pieces  before  the  Schipka  was  taken. 

Q. — ^What  is  your  opinion  aliout  the  action  at 
Plevna! 

His  Excellency — ^We  have  gained  a  great  victory. 
Bi|d  that  against  a  superior  force.  Tho  Russians  ac- 
knowledge to  160  guns,  just  three  to  one  of  what 
we  had.  It  may  do  good ;  I  am  no  enthusiast,  nor 
do  I  wish  to  boait ;  I  only  hope,  and  I  know  what 
little  material  we  have  is  good.  I  think  the  battle  of 
Plevna  will  delay  matters,  and  I  aisw  think  the  Kus- 
siana  will  lose  a  ereat  many  men  by  disease.  Hut 
they  arej  three  and  four 'to  one.  All  we  can  do  is 
struggle  to  the  end.  ^ 

Q. — Do  you  not  hope  for  assistance  from  Enuland  1 
His  Excellency — It  is  I  hard  to  say.  If  England 
would  land.eO.OOO  troops  in  Bulgaria,  which  she  can 
do,  the  whole  thing  would  be  settled  at  once.  Kus- 
hia  would  not  dare  to  go  on.  Prince  Bismarck's  policy 
is  unfathomable,  and  as  to  Austria,  we  dt>  not  know 
what  to  think.  One  thing  is  certain  :  As  matters 
now  stand,  I  the  Russians  (jannot  boast  of  any  material 
advantages!  It  is  true  they  have  taken  Nikopolis, 
aJid  we  have  been  beaten  |once  or  twice,  but  we  nave 
also  done  I  something,  and  my  information  about 
Plevna  akid  Yeni-Saghra  is  official  and  correct. 

\Q. — If  I  England  were  to  send  a  force  to  GaUIpolI. 
d^  you  thilik  this  would  1^  sufficient  excu.so  for  Rus- 
sia to  occupy  Constantinople  1 

His  Excellency — England  will  not  send  troops  to 
Galhoolil  for  tba't  would  |  be  useless.  Tliey  might  as 
w^ll  De  sent  to  Constantinople ;  besides,  such  a  move- 
ment wOnld  not  be  pemiitted  by  the  other  powers. 
At  present  .our  only  chance  Is  to  strive  on.  in  the  hoT>e 
that  one  of  those  chances  may  occur  which  often  de- 
cide a  war  in  favor  of  the  weaker  party.  There  is 
one  thing  in  our  favor,  and  that  is  we  are  far  better 
artillerists  than  the  Russians. 

Q. — Have  you  information  relative  to  these  atro-' 
cities  tliat  are  so  much  talked  of  t 

His  Excellency — Mv  dear  Sir.  yon  know  what  war 
is;  you  also  know  what  a  Cossack  is.  I  know  there 
have  been  fearful  deeds  committed  on  both  sides. 
How  caii  it  be  helped  1  War  is  war.  Bashi-Bazooks 
and  Cossacks  are  Bashl-Bazouks  and  Cossacks. 
>Vhat  can  you  expect  t  Of  one  thing  you  may  be 
sure,  the  war  will  not  be  over  to-day.  or  to-morrow, 
or  months  hence.  It  will  bo  a  very  long  and  a  very 
dreadful  one. 

Such  were  the  general  views  of  the  Turkish  Min- 
i.ster. — a  man  in  no  way  bigote<l.  or  apt  to  take  a  one- 
sided view,  for  his  Excellsncy  Is  a  very  bright  speci- 
men of  the  modem  Turk,  a  refined  gentleman,  with 
broad  views  of  his  own  counti?-.  knowing  full  well  its 
faults,  and  esteeminz  its  redeeming  qualities.  He 
if^  no  enthusiast,  and  even  in  this,  the  moment  of 
victory.  I  is  little  inclined  to  Iwast.  Evidently  he  is 
fearful  for  his  country,  but  he  is  also  hopeful.  He 
does  not  despair  of  foreign  lnter>-ention.  and  he  fully 
estimates  the  vast  superiority  of  the  Russians.  At 
the  same  lime  tie  does  not  consider  Turkey,  at  this 
moment,  in  the  perilous  position  she  is  supposed  to 
dwupy.      '

BIG  HOE.S-  BrvlEB.  .Inly  '25.  1877.  S 
Eon.  George  IF.  JlcOron/,  Secn'arv  of  ITor,  Wash- 
ington. D.  C: 
DXAB  Sir  :  We  left  the  t^antonment  at  the  mouth 
of  Toniiue  River  on  the  evening  of  July  IJ*.  and 
reached  the  mouth  of  the  pig  Horn  in  three  davs. 
Then,  entering  the  Big  Hani,  we  steamed  hard  for 
three  days  against  a  powerful  current,  and  rciched 
the  new  post  m  the  forks  of  the  Big  and  Little  Horn 
yesterday  morning  early.  Manjj  boats  liad  preceded 
us.  all,  or  nearly  all,  dischnrgingjiarts  of  their  f reiirbl 
on  tho  west  bank,  from  which  the  hauling  to  the  post 
is  comparatively  easy.  One  bqat,  which  was  built 
specially  for  the  navigation  of  this  and  similar  streams, 
had  to  land  five  miles  below  the  post  .ilK>ut  one-tiiird 
of  her  carao.  The  water  isjin  good  stage  ;  so  the  di:- 
Acuity  is  not  wont  of  wkter.  but  the  strong  ctu-- 
rent.  which  in  ths  bend  of  Ithe  river  roust  be 
about  eight  miles  an  hour.  We  found  at  the  post 
the  United  States  steam-hbat  Qen.  Sherman,  which 
has  a  good  hull,  a  good  engine,  but  too  much  and  too 
fine  a  cabin  for  tms  boat."  She  will  be  kept  in  the 
Big  Horn  as  long»as  the  water  lasts,  and  will  be  em- 
ployed in  carrying  up  to  thej  posts  the  freight  dropped 
on  the  river  bank  by  the  contract  bouts.  The  post 
has  already  a  good'suppljj  of  ti'sential  stores,  an  I 
there  is  no  doubt:  th.it  long  before  the  season  closes 
all  invoiced  for  its  use  will  be  on  hand  and  stored. 

■The  day  before  we  resetted  thio  po.n  we  met  Gen. 
Sheridan  and  party,  who  bad  come  across  the 
country  from  Fort  Stambaligh.  We  hud  a  long  con- 
ference, and  we  agree  thatl  this  new  post  is  well  lo- 
cated, and  that  it  can  be  supplied  with  reasonable 
economy  in  the  future.  The  new  post  will  lie  garri- 
soned by  six  companies  of  the |  Eleventh  Infantry, 
and  four  companies  of  the  Second  Cavalry,  under 
Vommand  of  Lieut. -Col.  Boell.  Eieventb  InfHntrj-.  an 
officer  of  great  energy  and  by  profes.sion  an  engi- 
net- r.  He  ser\-ed  under  me  in  the  war  as  a  Colonel 
of  an  engineer  regiment  and  afterward  as  a  lirigade 
commander.  He  has  been  on  thb  ground  less  than  a 
month,  but  has  a  steam  saw-mill  at  wrrk  and  a  lanre 
mass  of  Cottonwood  logs  I  rapidly  being  sawed  up 
into  lumber  for  the  new  post.  |  He  has  about  200 
ci\-il  mechanics  at  work  Snd  aii  hnildincs  imder 
progress,  besides  temporary  shelter  for  his  stores  us 
received,  and  he  entertain^  no  Ifear  but  that  he  ^vill 
finish  Ids  post  substantially  bef  j>re  Winter.  The  lo- 
carion  of  this  post  is  in  the  ver^'  heart  of  the  old 
.Sionx  country.  With  this  post  and  that  at  the  moujh 
of  Tongue  River  occupier,  by  istrong.  enterprising 
garrisons,  the  .Sioux  Indiuns  can  never  regain  ttiis 
country,  and  they  will  be  forced  to  remain  at  their 
agencies  or  take  i-efuge  in  t  leiBritish  possessions.  At 
this  moment  there  are  no  Indians  at  ail  here 
or  hereabout.  ,1  have  Seen  or  heard  of 
none.  Gen.  Sheridan  saw  none,  nor  any 
tracks  of  any.  Iso  that  the  principal  end  aimed 
at  by  the  coiistriiciion  oi  the."**  posts  has  already 
been  reached,  and  it  is  only  to  ralake  this  emi  perma- 
nent that  we  should  jierse  'ere  In  their  completion. 
■The  one  at  "Tongue  River  ciin  lie  snnplied  by  steam- 
boat. The  one  at  the  moiith  of  tho  Little  Big  Horn 
cannot  depend  on  this  rii-er.  ^le  current  is  too 
strong  to  be  na\-igated  by  CTrdin«r>'  bost-s  with  a  fair 
cargo.  Gen.  Terrj-  and  (JuSrierinaster-Oeneral  Curd 
are  at  this  moment  recoimoilring  to  select  wtme 
point  near  the  mouth  o{|  the  I  Big  Horn  where.it 
to  establish  a  depot  i  at  which  all  freieht 
destined  for  this  post  can  be  landed  and 
hauled  up  to  tho  :  post  J  We  have  on 
board  a  companv  of  infantry  to  guard  this  deiiot. 
and  we  are  nearly  agreed  that  the  bo.»'t  plan  will  lie 
a  point  on  the  Yellowstone  proj>er.  three  miles  above 
the  mouth  of  Big  Horn,  whence  the  hauling  will  lie 
about  30  miles  by  ox  trains.  These  pan  lie  hired 
here,  and  will  do  the  work  more  surely  and  better 
than  the  steam-boar.s.  for  these  have  i)een  sometimes 
two  weeics  in  workinft  up  thelBig  Horn,  and  have 
left  their  loads  strung  tUong  the  jlianks  at  points  hani 
to  reach  by  wagons.  I  am  cou\-inced  that  this  is  the 
wisest  course."  and  thus  we  can  mainlain  a  strong 
military  post  in  the  very  heart  bf  the  .Sioux  country,. 
with  only  a  haul  of  ^lOn^iles.  which  is  insignificant  as 
compared  with  most  of  our  posts  soutli  of  tliis.  Tiie 
ctmntry  west  of  this  is  a  good  country,  and  will  rapid- 
ly fill  up  with  eniicrants.  who  will  in  the  next  10. 
years  build  up  a  eouimuiiity  as  litrong  and  as  capable 
of  self-defense  ais  Coioiado.  I  have  a  company  of  the' 
Second  Cavalrv.  Company  U  Capt.  Norwood,  which 
belongs  at  I'ort  Ellis.  Moritana,  now  camped 
on  the  north  bank  of  the  I  Yellowstone.  opiKisite 
the  month  of  the  Bii;  Horn,  to  escort  me 
up  to  Ellis.  As  spoil  aa  we  have  personally  exam- 
ined the  point  dTthe  Yellowstone  three  iniies  abox-e 
the  mouth  of  twb  Big  Horn,  and  have  decided  on  its 
merits  as  the  rivfer  depot  for  the  new  posts.  I  will 
land  and  start  fcit  Ellis,  leaving:  Gen.  Terrj-  with  this 
Rosetiildi  to  return  to  Bismare-k  for  a  new 
ler  has  been  intensely  hot — as  hot  as 
nii:ht  we  had  a  |  thuniier-wpiall.  since 
whicli  time  the  air  lias  l^ecome  perfect.  General  good 
health  prevails  here,  and  I  ani  impressed  witli  the 
balm  of  this  country  on.  the  i  Upper  Yellow.stone.

TWENTY-SIX   MEN    PROBABLY    LOST    ON    THE 
STAKED  PLAINS  IN  TEX.43. 

San  Antonio,  Texas,  Aug.  4. — A  telegram 
bias  beeti  received  hero  from  Fort  Conche 
to  the  effect  that  three  soldiers  belonging 
to  a  scouting  party  had  come  Into 
that  post  and  reported  Capt.  Kicholas 
Nolan,  Lieut.  C.  j  L.  Cooper,  and  26 
tnen  as  orobably.lost  cjn  the  Staked  Plains.   The 

.ree  coliiiers  separated  themselves  from  the 

St  of  the  scouts  in  search  of  water,  for  which 
were  suffering,  and  they  succeeded 
finding  some.  They  then  returned  to  in- 
fJirin  their  comrade^,  but  found  they  had 
scattered!  in  every'  direction.  The  sol- 
diiers,  oti  their  return  to  the  supply 
camp  picked  up  14  men.  The  supply 
camp  on  Bnell's  Creek  is  140  miles 
friim  Conche.  Capt.  Smithers  and  Lieut.  Stear 
started  out  immediately  with  all  available  force 
to  hunt  for  their  imperiled  comrades.  It  is  not 
certain  by  any  means  I  that  they  have  perished, 
but  the  gravest  apprehensions  are  entertained. 

There  is  a  cnsis  at  Piedras  Negias.  Capt. 
Hall,  with  his  State  troops,  has  surrounded  the 
place.  They  have  papers  from  Texas  criminal

thanking  him  for  his  Action  during  the  recent

To  the  Hon.  Georpe  W:  MeOraJry,  Secretary  of  War, 
Washington,  V.  C: 

We,  tho  undersigned.  In  behalf  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Public  Safety,  of  this  city,  desire 
hereby  to  express  our  thanics  for  your  prompt  replies 
to  the  eommunicAtiniis  we  have  addressed  lo  you  in 
the  discharee  of  the  resjionsihlo  duties  imposed  npon 
us  by  our  fellow-rilizens,  and  for  your  ready  com- 
pliance with  our  request  in  placing  at  our  disposal 
such  arms  and  ammunition  as  seemed  necessary  to 
enable  our  local,  civil;  and  niilitary  authorities  to 
maintain  law  and  order  in  the  emergency  through 
which  we  have  just  pa-^sed.  We  desire  also  to  thank 
you  and  the  officers  and  menl  of  the  United  States 
Army  under  your  command  for  the  prompt  and 
effective  co-operation  I  you  l^ove  extended  to  the 
Governor  and  the  civill  authoniies  generally  of  our 
Commonwealth,  in  their  effortB  to  restore  peace  and 
order  throughOiit  the  entire  Sl^te. 

We  wotald  respectfully  requeift  that  such  portion  of 
the  United  .Stales  forces  now  lying  in  and  about  tliis 
city  as  can  be  spared  for  such  duty  shall  be  ordered 
to  remain  in  the  ,\llegheny  -Ahrsenal  as  a  permanent 
garrison.  We  hardly:  think  it  necessary  to  remind 
you  of  the  importance  of  Pittsburg  as*  a  strategic 
point.  We  would,  however,  i^spectfully  call  your 
attention  to  the  fact  that  at  this  point  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad  meets  the  waters  of  tho  Ohio,  which 
flow  unintermptedly  to  the  Gulf.  Not  only  our  own 
population,  but  thousands  and  hundreds  of  tliousands 
of  people  between  this  city  and  New-Orleans 
depend  upon  tho  Pittsburg  coal  deposits  for 
their  fuel  and  upon  the  rail  and  water 
communications  centring  hire  for  many  other 
necessaries  of  life.  In  riewj  of  these  facts,  and 
warned  by  the  bitter  experience  of  the  last  10  days, 
3Te  most  earnestly  request  ydu  to  leave  as  large  a 
guard  of  regulars  at  the  Allegheny  Arsenal  as  is 
consistent  with  the  demand  of  the  service  elsewhere. 
Should  the  forces  now  in  the  serriee  be,  in  your 
opinion,  and  in  that  of  the  United  States  officers 
now  here  and  famihar  with  bur  situation,  too  few 
to  allow  the  detailing  6f  la  sufficient  number  to  con- 
stitute a  safe^  permanent  gnSrd,  we  would  respect- 
fully urge  you  to  plai|o  bur  petition  on  file,  in  order 
that  at  the  approaching  sessiob  of  Congress  the  mat- 
ter may  bo  urged  noon  their  attention.

Robert  M.  Douglass^  affecting  the  administra-

SESSION   OF  THE   REFORM  COUNCIL. 


AN  UNUSUALLY  LARGE  ATTENDANCE — A  STIR- 
KING  TEMPERANCE  ADDRESS  BY  "  BLUE- 
RIBBON"  MURPHY — HIS  EXPERIENCES 
AXD  THOSE  OF  ECCLES  ROBINSON  NAR- 
RATED. 

Fairpoint,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  4. — The  Reform 
Council,  connected  with  the  fourth  annual 
Chautauqua- National  Assembly,  opened  its  first 
ses.sion  at  9  o'clock  this  morning.  Rev.  J.  H. 
Vincent.  D.  D..  presiding,  with  an  unusually 
large  attendance  from  all  parts  of  the  country. 
Anthony  Comstock,  of  New-York,  addressed 
the  audience  in  relation  to  the  National  Society 
for  the  .Suppression  of  Vice,  giving  its  history' 
and  describing  its  operations.  Francis  Murphy, 
the  temperance  lecturer,  was  introd-iced  and 
made  a  few  remarks.  Rev.  J.  P.  Newman,  of 
Wa.shington,  D.  C,  preached  at  11  o'clock  on 
••  Peculiar  Christian  Reformatory  Forces."  The 
attendance  is  increasing  rapidly,  the  .steam-boats 
and  raiIroa<l  trains  being  crowded  with  vi.sitors. 

This  afternoon  at  2  o'clock  the  council  had  a 
conference  on  the  new  temperance  movement. 
An  account  was  given  of  the  Murphy  work  and 
its  progress  at  Elmira  by  Eccles  Robinson,  of 
Pitt-sburg.  and  Rev.  Mr.  3Iead,  of  Homellsville, 
made  a  report  of  the  work  in  that  city.  Many 
thousands  had  signed  the  pledge,  and  the 
saloons  had  been  reduced  to  one-third  of 
the  usual  number.  Mr.  Mead  urged  that  the 
work  ought  not  to  be  confined  to  the  Southern 
Ne\v-Y'ork  counties,  but  should  extend  over  the 
State  and  the  country.  At  3:30  o'clock  F.  Mur- 
phy, of  Pittsburg,  'delivered  an  address  on 
••  Gospel  Temperance  ;  a  Leaf  from  Real  Life," 
4.000  persons  being  present.  Mr.  Murphy  said 
the  greatest  experience  this  side  of  heaven 
was  enjoyed  when  a  soul  was  cleansed  by  the 
blood  of  Chri.st.  He  g-avo  a  sketch  of  his  young 
friend  Eccles  Robinson,  the  last  speaker,  who 
had  spent  a  fortune  of  $70,00t)  in  dissipation, 
Imt  who  was  now  thoroughly  reformed,  with  a 
happy  wife  and  mother,  and  said  real  life  fur- 
nishe'd  stranger  stories  than  fiction.  An  ac- 
count was  given  of  the  speaker's  early  life  in 
Ireland,  of  his  poverty  and  arduoms  toil  for 
bread,  and  the  opinion  was  advanced  that  tho 
prevailing  evil  of  .\merica  was  that  young  men 
were  ashamed  of  honest  labor,  and  that  iillouess 
and  wealth  culminated  in  tho  following  of 
fashion,  the  wine  cup.  and  love  of  drink.  Mr. 
Murphy  thanked  <.iod  that  Tie  gave  to 
Ireland  Father  Mathcw,  who  came  to 
America  and  enrolled  500.000  of  his 
countrymen  as  the  friends  of  total  abstinence 
and  who  checked  dissipation  on  both  conti- 
nent.'. AUer  spending  a  precious  week  with 
his  mother  Jlr.  Jlurphy  crossed  the  sea  after  a 
p.artiiig  described  with  touching  pathos.  In 
this  country  came  dissipation.  John  Courtney, 
a  good  Scotchman,  at  length  drove  the  speaker 
'out  of  New-York  to  keep  him  from  the  influ- 
ence of  drink.  After  serving  in  the  .\rmy  he 
kept  a  hotel  and  sold  liquor.  His  wife  said  : 
"  I  had  sooner  beg  for  a  living  than  sell 
whisky:"  but  he  did  not  listen  to  her.  Ho 
made  money,  but  became  a  drinking  man.  .\t 
last  he  lost  his  fortune  and  reached  a  depth  of 
misery  of  which  he  did  not  care  to  speak. 
While  in  jaU  at  Portland,  Me.,  cruiihed  and 
bleeding.  Capt.  S.  Stiirtevant  came  to  him  with 
words  of  kindness  and  hope.  He  said,  •*  God 
will  help  you."  The  speaker  owed  his  reforma- 
tion to  this  man.  who  spoke  to  him  of  Christ 
and  his  .salvation.  In  that  jail  Mr.  Murphy  rps© 
from  his  knees  with  an  assurance  that  his  sins 
had  been  fo- given  and  his  soul  saved.  3Ir. 
Murphy  closed  his  address  with  a  powerful  ap- 
peal in  behalf  of  the  Christian  temperance 
work,  having  .spoken  nearly  two  hours. 

At  ,5:30  o'clock  Frank  Benrd.  of  New-Y'ork. 
gave  a  short  talk  about  reform,  and  at  7  o'clock 
Mrs.  Emily  Huntingdon  Miller,  of  Chicago, 
gave  to  mothers  in  council  the  first  of 
a  series  of  papers  on  "Art  at  Home.''  In 
the  pavilion,  at  8  o'clock,  Mi.ss  M.  E. 
Winslow,  of  Brooklyn,  editor  of  Our  Uni/in, 
the  organ  of  the  Woman's  National  Christian 
Association,  spoke  of  Christian  temperance 
work.  Prof.  W.  F.  Sherwin.  of  Newark.  N.  J.;  ■ 
C.  B.  Stoute,  of  New- York,  and  Anthony  Com' 
stock,  of  New-York,  spoke  of  the  worth 
of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association. 
The  receipts  at  Fairpoint  to-day — the  open- 
ing day — were  more  than  those  of  any  day 
last  year  except  one.  and  six  times  the  receipts 
of  the  opening  day  last  year.  The  .prospect  is 
that  the  attendance  will  "be  greater  than  in  any 
previous  year.  A  false  nimor  that  a  steamer 
had  sunk  to-day  with  great  lo.ss  of  life  produced 
great  excitement  on  the  lower  part  of  the  lake. 
No  accident  of  any  kind  has  occurred. 

BEN.  DE  BAB  SEBIOUSLT  ILL. 
St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Aug.  4. — Ben.  De  Bar, 
proprietor  of  De  Bar's  Opera-house  in  this  city, 
arrived  home  yesterday  suffering  from  a  para- 
lytic stroke,  which  attacked  him  in  New-York 
about  a  week  ago.  His  physician  pronounced 
the  case  very  serious,  if  not  hopeless,  there  be- 
ing, besides  paralysis  of  '  the  hmbs  and  part  of 
the  body,  a  softening  of  portions  of  the  brain. 
Sir.  De  'Bar  is  the  oldest  theatrical .  manager  in 
this  country,  and  the  oldest  actor  in  the  world 
except  "  Bedford  Buckstone,"  of  London.  He 
has  been  on  the  stage  46  years,  and  his  taking 
off  wUl  be  a  source  of  great  regret  to  his  hosts 
of  friends  and  admirers  throughout  the  country. 

COLLISION  OF  STOCK  TRAINS. 

Cleveland,  Ohio,  Aug.  4. — ^About  7 
o'clock  this  morning  a  heavily  loaded  stock 
train,  standing  at  Conneaut  Station,  Ohio,  on 
the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Rail- 
way, was  run  into  by  another  stock  train,  caus- 
ing a  bad  wreck.  The  loss  is  estimated  at  from 
$8,000  to  $10,000. 

A  CLEVER  FOBOEBT. 
Boston,  Mass. ,  Aug.  4. — Another  ease  of 
forgery  was  discovered  here  similar  to  that 
practiced  a  few  days  ago  by  John  B.  Rhodes,  of 
this  city.  A  man  giving  the  name  of  Higglns 
opened  an  account  with  a  bank.  The  first  de- 
posit was  $500,  and,  after  several  transactions, 
he  left  a  check  upon  the  banking  house  of  P.  A. 
Hftwlev  &  Co.  for  $2-500.  whica  came  throuith

HUNT  TO  BE  FOLLOWED  BY  A  "  BIG  TALK" 
AT  WASHINGTON. 

SpeeiaX  Diepatc\  to  Ou  yev-Tork  3%me». 

Chicago,  HI.,  Aug.  4. — ^Information  of  an 
authentic  nature  has  been  received  at  military 
head-quarters  that  it  was  Lame  Deer's  band  of 
Sioux  Indians  which  recently  attacked  the  sur- 
veying party  under  Lieut.  Lemly  on  Spearlish 
Creek.  The  surveyors  are  engaged  in  running 
a  boundary  between  Nebraska  and  Wyoming 
Territory.  The  supposition  that  the  attacking 
band  were  agency  Indians  proves  to  be  un- 
founded. There  is  a  deep-seated  conviction  in 
Army  circles  here  that  reports  sent  hither  from 
Montana  about  an  influx  of  Ncz  Perces  In- 
dians are  ingeniously  concocted  lies,  which 
have  been  circulated  for  a  purpose.  It 
is  soberly  doubted  whether  any  of  the  Indians 
of  that  tribe  have  really  crossed  the  range  in 
Central  Montana.  The  story  that  they  were 
coming  over  into  that  territory  to  hunt  buffalo 
is  pronounced  absurd  by  all  who  are  familiar 
with  the  region. 

Gen.  Crook,  who  is  here  en  route  ea.stward. 
states  that  some  of  the  well-conducted  Indians 
who  served  with  the  troops  last  Winter,  includ- 
ing Cheyennes,  Arapahoe.?,  and  Sioux,  are  about 
starting  on  a  buffalo  hunt  toward  the  Big  Horn 
and  Musselshell  country  under  the  command  of 
Spotted  Tail,  who  can  he  trusted  to  keep  them 
within  bounds.  After  the  hunt  is  over  a  dozen 
or  so  of  the  chiefs  will  go  to  Washington  to 
have  a  '*  big  talk"  over  the  boundary  of  the  new 
Missouri  Reservation.  It  is  not  yet  known  what 
Chiefs  ivill  compose  the  dclggation. 

THE  HOSTILITIES  IN  IDAHO — FRIENDLY  IN- 
DIANS ROBBED  AND  BEATEN  BY  THE 
HOSTILES — CHIEF  JOSEPH'S  PLANS, 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Aug.  4. — A  dispatch 
from  Lewiston,  dated  Aug.  1 ,  says  :  Yesterday 
Indian  Joe  and  his  family,  who  have  been  with 
the  people  at  State  Creek  all  through  the  Indian 
troubles,  and  proved  true  and  faithful  to  the 
whites,  returned  from  Kamiah,  where  they  had 
been  sent  to  ascertain  the  movements  of  the 
hostiles.  His  squaw  says  the  Indians  at 
Kamiah  told  her  they  were  going  across 
the  mountains  by  the  Lolo  trail,  with  their 
stock  and  families,  and  when  they  got  them  in 
a  secure  place  they  would  return  and  fight  the 
soldiers.  She  also  states  that  before  leaving 
Kamiah  they  went  to  the  friendly  Indians' 
camp,  drove  off  all  the  young  squaws,  beat 
them  with  clubs,  and  forced  theiu  along  like 
so  many  cattle;  also  came  back  and- 
robbed  them  of  everything  they  could 
find  and  all  their  horses  of  any 
value.  ■  She  further  stated  tbat  the  hostiles  are 
to  be  reinforced  by  Indians  from  the  other  side 
of  the  mountains  on  their  return.  Her  state- 
mentJ-  are  considered  trustworthy  by  those  who 
have  known  her. 

This  morning.  Lieut.  Wilmont,  with  30  men, 
started  to  cross  Salmon  River  to  ascertain  if  any 
hostiles  remain  there.  It  has  been  reported 
for  several  days  that  a  few  hail  been  .seen  in 
that  direction,  and  his  object  is  to  hunt  them 
out,  and  destroy  all  supplies. 

.1  ug,  2. — It  is  now  believed  by  old  acquaint- 
ances of  Joseph  that  he  will  place  his  stores  and 
"extra  horses  in  safety  and  return  lo  Camas 
Prairie  by  the  Elk  Cit'y  or  Pietto  trails,  which 
are  much'  more  easily  traveled  than  the  Lolo. 
This  trip  can  be  made  in  about  seven  days  by  a 
forced  march.  He  has  asserted  his  determina- 
tion to  bum  the  grain  on  Camas  Prairie,  and 
then  arrange  his  plans  to  go  to.Willowa.  and 
the  opinion  is  prevalent  that  he  Aviil  attempt  it.

M.O — THE  FATHER,  TWO  DAUGHTERS, 
AND  TWO  SONS  KILLED  WITH  AN 
AXE  WHILE  SLEEPING — X  BROTHER-IN- 
LAW  OF  MR.  SPENCER  SUSPECTED. 
Spmal  Dispatch  to  the  Xew-Tork  TlTne*. 

Chicago,  Aug.  4. — A  special  to  the  Chi- 
cago Tribune  from  Keokuk,  Iowa,  says  that  a 
Gate  City  reporter,  just  from  the  scene,  brings 
further  particulars  of  the  shocking  murder  of 
Lewis  Spencer  and  his  four  children  near 
Luray.  in  Clark  County,  Mo.,  night  "oefore 
last.  It  is  thought  the  massacre  was 
committed  just  before  daylight.  The 
murderers  procured  an  axe  from  the  wood-pile 
and  evidently  -went  first  to  the  stable  and 
climbed  up  the  ladder  to  the  loft,  where  Mr. 
Spencer  and  his  son  Willie,  aged  10,  slept,  and 
commenced  their  bloody  .work  upon 
them,  dealing  heavy  blows  upon  the 
head  of  each.  Jlr.  Spencer  had  in 
his  possession  at  the  time  about  $1,200, 
which  the  assassins  secured.  They  then  pro- 
ceeded to  the  house,  crept  in  at  the  kitchen 
window,  and  forced  open  a  door  into  a  bedroom 
on  the  first  floor,  in  which  were  sleeping  the 
daughter  Jane,  aged  1.8,  and  the  son 
Charles,  aged  7.  Jane  seems  to  have  been 
struck  while  asleep,  but  the  boy  was 
partiallv  awakened,  and  was  found  lying  across 
the  body  of  his  sister.  The  other  daughter, 
Alice,  aged  20,  was  sleeping  up  stairs  alone, 
and  did  not  appear  to  have  moved  after  the 
fatal  "blow  was  struck.  Tho  murders  were 
discovered  by  Spencer's  brother-in-law. 
Willis  James.  When  found,  the  father 
and  both  sons  were  still  breathing,  but  were 
unconscious  and  died  in  about  two  hours.  All 
five  of  the  victims  were  killed  with  an 
axe,  receiving  from  one  to  three  blows 
each  on  the  head.  Their  faces  were 
terribly  mangled.  The  axe  was  found  un- 
der the  back  part  of  the  house,  beneath  the 
window  through  which  the  murderers  had  evi- 
dently entered.  Nothing  in  the  house  was  dis- 
turbed. The  tracks  leading  from  the  house  in- 
dicated that  there  were  two  persons  engaged  in 
the  murder.  At  the  Coroner's  inquest  the  prin- 
cipal witness  was  James  Willis.  Dtiring  the 
inquest  a  few  drops  of  blood  were  dis- 
covered on  his  clothes.  He  accounted 
for  them  by  saying  he  had  had  the  nosebleed  a 
day  or  two  previous.  It  was  at  once  suspected 
that  James  was  one  of  the  guilty  persons.  At 
last  accounts  the  Vigilantes  had  taken 
charge  of  him  and  another  jnan  named 
Brady,  and  gone  off  into  the  woods  with 
them.  There  is  no  positive  evidence  against 
tiiem,  but  if  guilt  can  be  fixed  on  them  there  is 
no  doubt  that  they  will  be  hanged.  The  funeral 
of  the  victims  took  place  to-day.  The  five  bodies 
■were  buried  in  one  grave. 

FIRE  AND  LOSS  OF  DIFE. 
StrawsPoint,  N.  H.,  Aug.  4. — ^Afire,whioh 
for  a  time  threatened  the  destruction  of  the 
entire  village  of  Summer  residences  at  Straws 
Point,  broke  out  at  2  o'clock  this  afternoon  in 
the  stable  belonging  to  Dr.  Tubbs,  of  Manches- 
ter, and  spread  to  his  cottage,  and  also  the  ad- 
joining one  of  B.  A.  Kimball,  of  Concord,  N.  H.. 
both  of  which  were  consumed.  Several  other 
cottages  were  badly  scorched.  The  loss  is 
$10,000,  partially  insured.  Henry  Groves,  of 
Concord,  N.  H.,  a  visitor  at  one  of  the  cottages, 
while  assisting  in  removing  furniture  from  the 
Kimball  cottage  was  oveniowered  by  smoke 
and  burned  to  death.  His  charred  remains  were 
recovered  from  the  ruins.

SOBANTOK,  Penn.,  Saturday,  Aug.  4. 
The  results  of  my  investigation  into  tho 
condition  of  the  miners  and  other  workmen  In 
this  region  were  only  partly  givep  yestetrdav. 
Enough  was  then  told  in  regard  to  the  unifortu- 
nate  circumstances  of  the  mining  populasrion  to 
convey  an  impression  of  the  conviction  in  tht 
Binds  of  these  men  that  they  are  oppressed, 
ground  down,  disregarded,  or,  if  regarded  at  all, 
that  they  are  treated  with  less  consideration 
than  a  careful  man  would  give  to  his  horses  and 
cattle.  One  of  the  houses  into  which  I  entereiif 
at  noon  was  an  example  of  the  sort  of  dwellings 
in  which  the  large  majority  of  the  people  live 
who  work  in  the  mines  and  mills.  It'  Uad 
two  rooms,  the  larger  being  that  in  which,  the 
family  lived,  while  the  other  was  the  slesping 
roohi.  The  hut  was  a  dingy  one,  near  a  break- 
er, and  its  interior  was  scarcely  more  cAeerfuI 
than  it.s  sun-burned  and  blackened  xinteide. 
The  $oor  was  bare,  and  there  were  no  other  ar- 
ticles of  furniture  than  a  table  and  three  or  four 
chairs,  all  of  which  were  broken,  'The  windows 
were  hting  with  tattered  paper  curtains.  The 
place  was  not  over-clean.  At  the  table  drawn 
up  at  one  side  of  the  room,  sat  the  miner  and 
his  family,  wife  and  two  children,  girls,  vrith 
faces  as  black  as  if  they  too  had  been  at  work 
in  the  mines.  The  miner's  face  wi>fi 
hidden  beneath  a  mask  of  ooal-blacife, 
out  of  which  his  eyes  stared  yjith 
a  wild  look,  giving  a  really  iimocent 
and  pacific  person  an  appearance  of  ferocity 
which  he  did  not  have.  The  woman  was  neater 
than  her  surroundings.  All  were  eating  pota- 
toes, which,  with  soda  crackers  and  wajtor,  com- 
posed their  dinner.  There  w-as  no  bread  on  the 
table.  The  man  laid  down  his  fork  and  knife, 
made  an  ineffectual  effort  to  hide  his  grimy 
hands  and  arms,  and  then  went  on  to  talk.  He 
had  worked  very  regularly — as  ofsen  as  there 
was  work  to  do — ^in  the  Mount  Pleasant  shaft, 
which  has  the  reputation  of  making 
more  time  than  any  other  mine  in  the 
neighborhood.  He  had  seldom  made 
more  than  $18,s  month,  and  thought  that  $lSi 
would  be  nearer  his  average.  His  rent  w^as  $4, 
but  he  had  paid  it  irregularly.  All  his  supplies 
were  drawn  from  the  truck  store  of  the  com- 
pany, which  is  a  private  corporation,  selling  its 
coal  at  the  breaker  to  the  Delaware,  Lacka- 
wanna and  Western.  He  was  obliged  to  get  his 
supplies  at  this  shop  because  he  never  could  get 
cash  for  his  work.  Since  tho  strike  no  flour  had. 
been  served  out,  so  he  could  have  no  bread.  Aa 
with  many  other  families  I  met,  meat  was  a 
luxury  seldom  enjoyed.  Clothes  were  bou^t 
scarcely  oftener  than  to  keep  the  family  de- 
cently covered.  A  child  died  last  Winter,  and 
charitable  people  in  one  of  the  city'  churches 
had  furnished  decent  burial  for  it,  the  mother 
being  tmable  to  get  money  or  credit  for  the  ex- 
pense. This  is  the  story  of  many  families,  and 
although  the  men  declare  disconsolately  that 
death  would  be  better  than  this  battle  for  life 
in  which  they  are  constantly  worsted,  death  ia  ■ 
too  expensive,  a  funeral  too  costly  a  heritage  for 
the  living,  and  so'they  struggle  on  to  keep  body 
and  soul  together  as  a  matter  of  economy. 

There  are  men  among  tho  Welsh 
miners  here  who  have  lived  in  Hyde 
Park  for  many  years,  whose  circumstances 
have  been  good,  but  who  are  now  sharing  wi^ 
the  meanest  laborer  in  the  hardships  comimon 
to  all  the  population.  One  man,  sober,  f  ru,gal, 
industrious,  in  21  years  had  been  able  to  accu- 
mulate a  little  property  which  was  now  slipping 
from  his  bands,  and  he  was  $300  in  debt. 
Y'et  he  had  practiced  economy  so  severe  ^ 
that  no  felon  in  a  prison  but  would  have  felB 
wronged  if  he  were  compelled  to  live  on  his 
fare.  A  leading  member  of  the  miners'  organ- 
ization told  me  that  he  and  his  brother  together 
were  just  able  to  keep  their  house  on  their 
combined  earnings.  The  brother  had  engaged  to 
pay  $15  a  month  board,  but  he  had  run  behind 
$90  in  18  months,  although  he  never  lost  a  day 
by  sickness,  never  spent  a  cent  for  grog,  and  waa 
willing  to  do  any  sort  of  work.  One  cabin  that 
I  visited  was  occupied  by  a  woman  (Welsh)  who'  \ 
said  she  had  never  known  what  bard  rimes  -were 
until  she  came  to  Scranton.  Herfeet  were  bare,  her- 
children  were  fed  irregularly  and  on  poof  food, 
her  husband  had  been  sicJt,  and  with  nothing 
ahead,  nothing  coming  in,  and  six  mouths  to 
fc-ed,  they  were  for  months  on  the  verge  of 
star\-ation,living  on  charity.  The  miners  are  all 
so  poor  that  they  cannot  help  each  other,  and 
many  of  them  are  very  proud  even  in  their 
rags.  It  was  hard  to  get  them  to  admit  that 
they  were  living  on  mush  alone,  when  that  was 
the  case,  but  neighbors  would  tell  of  pri\*ation!4 
suffered.  The  attempts  to  hide  abject  poverty 
were  sometimes  heroic.  I  was  shown  a  mi^n 
who  had  been  known  to  take  his  diuuer-pail 
into  the  shaft  day  after  day,  just  as  other  men 
did,  when  the  form  was  an  empty  pretense,  and 
his  pail  did  not  contain  so  much  even  as  a  crust; 
Even  the  mush  the  miners  so  largely  subsist  on , 
is  now  had  in  small  quantities,  but  with  a  little^, 
bread  they  marmge  to  appea*^  hunger  with  the  1 
aid  of  garden  stuff  from  patches  which  arO 
cultivated  about  many  of  their  hute,  where  , 
they  raise  com,  tomatoes,  beans,  and  a  few  po-. 
tatoes.  Mv  guide  was  a  Welshman,  an  en- 
gineer in  the  mines,  and  a  man  of  some  educB- 
tion.  -  He  frequentiy  was  obliged  to  interpret 
the  conversation,  which  was  carried  on  in. 
Welsh  by  many  of  the  women.  One  of  tJies^ 
women,  a  widow,  with  three  sons,  saia 
the  oldest,  who  is  22  years  of  age, 
made  $'20  last  month,  and  the  younger 
ones  $r2  together.  Most  -of  this  hai 
been  held  by  the  store  of  the  Mount  Pleasant 
Mine  for  an  old  debt,  and  the  family  were  out 
of  provisions  and  without  a  prospect  of  relief. 
An  Irish  miner,  with  10  persons  looking  to  him 
for  support,  said  he  had  not  known  such  want 
as  he  felt  at  present  since  186,3.  Here,  again, 
theexpenseof  funerals  was  complained  of.  In  an 
adjoining  house  lived  a  laborer  with  five  chil- 
dren. The  family  of  seven  had  lived  on  his 
earnings  of  less  than  $6  a  week,  as  his  daily 
wages  were  9(5  cents.  A  German  laborer  in  "a 
breaker  said  the  largest  amount  he  had  made  in 
two  yeafrs  during  any  month  was  $1.5,  and  it 
was  usually  $10  or  $12.  What  astonished  me 
greatly  was  the  uniform  cheerfulness  of  these 
people,  even  when  they  were  recalling  and  re- 
counting their  most  painful  experiences.  And 
although  none  of  them  werr-«ttnguine  of  better 
treatment,  they  were  all  convinced  that  some 
time  or  another  a  sense  of  justice  w#uld  compel 
the  rtdlroad  men  to  give  them  considerstiom 
They  were  not  lacking  in  shrewdnes.s.  To  the 
a.ssertion  that  the  miners  aa  a  class  had  been 
careless,  improvident,  they  answered :  "  Has  not 
the  corporation  been  improvident  I  Has 
it  not  expended  money  extravagantiy 
for  machinery  and  lands  that  it  could 
not  use!"  'This  they  feel  they  are  snffer- 
iug  for,  and  they  point  out  many  a  shaft 
which  is  not  paying  out  of  its  products  even  the 
taxes  on  the  property,  I  spent  some  time  in 
conversation  with  one  of  the  Catholic  priests  of 
this  city,  and  he  fully  corroborated  all  the  re- 
ports of  the  destitution  which  had  previoush^ 
reached  me,  and  related  others  which  had  coma 
tmder  his  personal  notice.  He  was  constant^ 
relieving  families,  some  of  whom  had  members 
at  work,  but  not  earning  enough  to  support 
them.  Of  the  company  stores  he  spoke  as  a 
great  detriment  to  the  working  men,  holding 
them  as  they  do  in  a  sort  of  slavery  which  they 
cannot  escape.  It  was  said  that  the  employes 
were  not  compelled  to  patronize  them.  Bnt 
the  laborers  knew  well  enough  that  they 
were  exi>eeted  to  fcuv  in  them,  and  the  small  and 


2 


Infrequent  payments  of  cash  made  it  absolutely 
necessary  to  obtain  their  supplies  from  the  com- 
pany. He  bad  counseled  abstaining  from  vio- 
lettcet  and  waa  really  favorable  to  a  resumption 
of  work  at  old  rates  rather  than  idleness  on  the 
part  of  the  men,  and  particularly  the  youths, 
"Who  feel  no  sort  of  responsibility.  In  some 
cases  ho  thought  the  carelessness  of  the  women 
had  aKfTTRvated  the  misery  of  families.  They 
■were  not  all  ecoTiomical,  and  when  they  ha<d  op- 
portnnity  would  sometimes  spend  more  than  they 
ouffht.  They  could  not  do  it  now,  of  course. 
Intemperance  among  some  of  the  miners  had 
kept  them  poor,  and  it  seemed  that  there  was 
never  a  time  when  they  could  not  get  drink. 
Tlie  feeling  of  the  meiv  was  unanimously  for 
the  adoption  of  a  sliding  scale  of  prices,  to  be 
povemed  by  the  market  price  of  coal,  by  which 
they  would  prosner  \^'ith  the  companies,  and 
phare  with  them  "Hie  misfortune  of  a  dull  ttade. 
The  priest  thought  the  suppression  of  theimob 
of  Wednesday  a  good  thing,  but  considered 
tlint  the  presence  of  so  many  troops  pro- 
longed the  strike,  as  it  was  loolced 
upon  by  the  men  as  a  constant 
menace.  Another  clergyrnan,  who  had  abun- 
ditnt  opportunity  to  learn  about  the  condition  of 
the  miners,  ant!  who  had  studied  the  subject 
closely,  said  he  believed  that  it  would  be  safe  to 
viiy  the  families  in  the  valley  averaged  six  per- 
B(»ns  each,  and  thut  they  had  maintained  life  on 
an  averaL'O  of  $7  per>anonth  to  each  family  for 
ni::o  m'^^nths  past.  It  is  not  to  be  supposed  for 
ail  instant  that  thi.^  condition  of  things  has  not 
hf  on  known  to  Scranton  people.  It  has  been 
wi'll  known  to  them,  and  la.«*t  "Winter  a  good 
dvnl  of  assistance  was  extended  to  the 
poor  by  various  societies  through  a  relief 
ussnciation.  But  the  miners  do  not  wish 
t»i  liv('  on  the  charity  of  anybody.  They  pray 
fnr  work  at  living  waees.  and  are  willing  to 
iTorlv  even  seven  d:iys  in  the  week  to  earn  them. 
In  a  rontVrence  with  the  officers  of  The  company 
one  of  tlie  latter  said  to  the  miners  :  "If  you 
think  the  company  is  mrtking  so  much  money, 
perhaps  you  woul'l  undertake  to  work  the  mines 
for  all  al)ove  the  expenses  T'  To  this  the 
i.;iners  quickly  replied :  "  Wo  will  under- 
t:t.k(*  to  work  the  mines  if  you  will 
s  ipport  our  familios."'  The  men  do  not 
SiV  ••  corporations  have  no  simls,''  but 
they  hnr^- s -t'n  the  company  er'^wing  prosper- 
ous, its  Directors  living  well  upon  theirincomes.  * 
wliilc  y<*ar  after  yf-ar  the  pay-rolls  have  been 
rt*<hic<-<l.  and  it  V^tiis  to  look  to  the  men  as  if 
liion-  would  bf  no  limit  to  reductions.  There  is 
i;-.  nrru^ntion  of]  intentional  cruelty  by  any  one, 
I'Ui  thi-r**  is  a  painful  intimation  that  ragged 
niiuf-rs  with  h. iff- til  led  stomachs  are  not  of  much 
j.iore  acronnt  on  the  fact)  of  the  earth  than  so 
jniii'h  dust  iu  the  road.  They  seem  to  have 
hi  en  lost  sight  of,  used  as  partS'  of 
a  machine  which  must  -  be  run  to 
make  money,  noj  matter  how  many  hearts  bleed, 
h'tw  much  hop€|  is  crushed,  or  how  much  en- 
denvor  is  balked  and  discouraged.  In  the  Dela-

npt^niti^d  irregularly,  and  the  miners  are  com-

city  on  Monday  mnming  from  a  trip  to  his  plant a- 
ti'H  in  ibenille  parish,  where  he  says  the  crops  are 
111  itood  condition,  but  rather  backward.  On  his  own 
plant!<tion  he  has  a  neero  employed  who  is  now  116 
Years  of  aije.  and  who  has  heen  la  the  same  fatuily 
Pinre  ho  was  40  years  of  a^e.  His  name  is  Nelsou 
Jordan,  atirt  hiB  imtive  8t ate  Virginia.- where  he  wa.s 
n  slave,  and  when  40  years  of  age  wa«  brought  to 
3-om.shina  and  sold  to  the  father  of  his  present  em- 
jtiover.  Even  at  hU  advance*!  ase  now  he  cultivates, 
jiiid  h.-w  raised  three  acres  of  com.  nsing  only  a  hoe 
to  keep  it  free  from  weeds  and  grass,  besides  at- 
letiding  to  a  garden  patch  and  attending  to  light 
duties  about  the  plaee.  '  Old  Nelse,' as  he  Is  called, 
claims  that  before  he  was  sold  by  his  master  ia  Vir- 
ginia he  had  hoarded  up  nearly  $300  in  gold  and 
batik  bills,  which  ho  secreted  in  the  woods  on  the 
plantation,  and  he  has  repeatedly  desired  to  retom 
to  fine!  the  lost  treasure,  but  hardly  thinks  hla  trip 
would  be  successful.  Besides  attending  to  his  com 
now  he  manages  to  find  time  to  catch  considerable 
driftwood  in  the  river,  twing  a  skiff  he  made  with 
his  own  hands,  and  he  is  RO  cccentrto  in  hlfi  way  tlial

or  '  i'lzy  uicKcrs,'  ns  he  calls  them,  and  does  notlet  an 
opportuTiity'j»ass  to  eipreaa  his  indignation  at  those

The  serond  race,  f'tr  pair-oared  boats,  had  Qvt  eui

C.  R"»nmell.  with  C.  Holt,  coxswain,  of  the  Trtion 
Boat  Club.  All  three  crews  got  well  away  together! 
at  the  start,  but  the  Triton  men,  before  100  vards 
had  been  rowed,  drew  to  the  front,  and  pra<!uallv, 
went  away  from  the  others.  The  Acqajickanonk 
Men  fouled  the  Eurekas  bv  rowuig  out  nf!

I      A  GOOD  GAME  OF  CmCKET. 

THE  MEB10N8,  OF  PHILADELPHIA, '  DEFEAT 
THE  STATEN  ISLAJTO  CLtJB — GOOD  PLAT 
ON  EACH  ISIDE. 

|A  well-contested  gatpe  of  cricket  waa  played 
on  Stoten  Island,  yesterday,,  between  the  Merion 
Club,  of  Philadelphia,  and  the  Staten  Island  Clnb. 
There  was  a  strong  westerly  breeze  blowing  across 
thp  grotmd  all  day,  which  kept  the  players  cool,  but 
interfered  a  little  with  the  bowling.  Dnring  the  first 
inniiig  of  the  Merlons.  G.  E.  Moore,  at  short  leg 
pf^sitlon,  caught  a  hot  ball  from  Anderson ; 
Brewster,    at    point    position,    catight   Bralthwate 


[finely,  and  G.  Ashbiidge  was  nicely  bowled 
by  .Tones.  Bre^rstcr's  bowling"  was  very  effective 
during  this  inning,  his  record  showing  114  halls  de- 
livered, on  which  2£)  runs  were  made  and  five  mald- 
s  and  three  wickets.  The  two  Moores  o^ned  the 
fiip  inning  for  the  Staten  Islanders,  and  were  soon 

bowled  out  by  Law  and  C-omfort.  Harvey  made  a 
goo  d  stand  for  1 S  runs,  and  Brewster  did  some  good 
blotting.  Tho  Philadelphiana  did  well  in  the  field 
ye.sterday.  They  had  evidently  improved 
by  the  practice  .  afforded  in  their  previous 
gjJme  with  the  Manhattans.  Their  position-s 
were  well  takenjunder  the  direction  of  their  Captain, 
(icorge  Ashbridge.  and  the  bowling  was  effective. 
Comfort  carried  ,6ff  tho  honors  a<  a  bowler  yesterday. 
lie  delivered  1-47  halls,  on  which  there  -«"ere  43  mna 
made,  and  scored  S  maidens  and  10  wickets  for  his 
party.  He  also  made  one  of  the  be.?t  catches  of  the 
day  at  short-leg  po.sition.  where  he  took  a  strong  ball 
^iijht  from  W'hithHm's  bat.  Baily  hIro  made  a  good 
cat'-h  as  wicket-keeper,  taking  a  hot  ball  off  the  bat 
ifroin  Ilfir-.ey.  There  waa  nothing  of  note 
I  in  the  Meri'on's  ^lecond  inning  but  two  verj* 
clever  catctie.s  by  "Whitliam  at  point  position,  and 
one  by  Har\*ey  at  tlie  .same  position.  The  second 
inning  of  the.  Staten  Islanders  was  the  best  of  the 
four.  The  two  iI(H>res  led  off  OS  in  the  first  inning, 
and  made  six  runs  between  them.  Roberts  made  a 
bad  mistake,  and  was  run  out.  AVhithara  made  one 
leg  hit  forsix  mns,  and  two  hits  for  four  runs.  He 
was  bowleil  out  by  Comfort  after  scoring  32  runs. 

JSoon  after  this  John  Lee  sent  a  ball  straight  into 
the  hands  of  Comfort,  and  without  apjveaUng.  left 
his  wickets  and  went  from  the  field,  thinking  that  lie 
w;w  canfitht  out.  George  Ashbridge,  however,  ap- 
pealed to  thenmniro,  who  decided  that  the  ball  was 

grounder,  and  that  Ijco  was  not  out.  He  was, 
hrwever,  bowled   out  again  by  Comfort,  to  be  fol- 

ived  by  Kvre.  who   also  met  his  fate  in  tho  same 
The  following  is  the  score :

8AU0A  ANNEXED  TO^AMERTCA. 
e  Fiji  Times  of  June  13  says  that  news  bas 
been  received  that  the  American  flag  has  been 
hcisted  at  Samoa  and  allegiance  formally  tendered  to 
ths  United  States.  Some  strange  rumors  are  current 
wi  th  respect  to  this  movement,  but  we  forbear,  for 
the  present  at  least,  from  giving  them  publicity. 
The  Lnrline,  the'arrival  of  which  may  be  daily  ex- 
pected, will  no  doubt  bring  ample  and  authentic  in- 
teUigence. 

The  New-Zealand  Re'rald  says:  "The  American 
flag  has  been  hoisted  at  Samoa,  and  nnles<?the  action 
of  the  Cqn^il  is  repudiated  by  the  authorities  at 
'AVashingion,  the  tslands  of  the  Xavigator's  group 
will  henceforward  have  to  be  accounted  as  m,  the 
possession  of  the  .A.merican  Government.  A  short 
lime  aso  we  gave  the  partlenlars  connected  with  the 
visit  of  several  Samoan  chiefs  to  Fiji,  whitlier  they 
had  gone  to  endeavor  to  persnada  Gov.  Sir  .\r- 
thur  Gordon  to  take  posse-ssfon  of  Samoa  for  Great 
Britam.  j  Apparently,  the  Samoan  chiefs  had  not 
got  any  encouratrement,  for,  on  their  return  home, 
tlie  American  Consul,  Mr.  GrifBn,  commenced 
neeotiatipns  to  have  the  American  flag  hoisted. 
All  thei  preliminaries  were  completed  on  the 
night  of  the  23d  of  May.  a  number  of  documents 
having  been  signed,  and  on  the  morning  of  the 
2Ath  the,  American  flag  was  hoisted  at  the  King's 
hotise,  at  Point  Molinn,  on  the  west  side  of  Apia 
Harbor.  A  salute  of  21  guns  was  fired  from  the 
other  side  of  the  harbor.  Tlie  American  clipper  bark 
Menishokoff  was  lying  at  Apia  at  the  time,  and  au 
American  man-of-war  is  expected  shortly.  A  great 
fOftst  was  given  at  the  King's  house,  and  all  the  white 
irihabitants  were  invited  to  go.  Thakombau's  son. 
from  Fiji,  and  the  English  Consul,  Mr.  Llardet,  went 
!  to  wher6  the  feast  was  being  held,  and  said  they 
would  join  them  if  they  would  baul  down  the  Ameri- 
can.flag  whUe  they  were  there.  The  natives,  how- 
ever, declined  to  haul  down  the  flag,  even  tempora- 
rily, and  Prince  Timothy  and  the  English  Constil  left. 
Mr.  GriflBu,  the  American  Consul,  lias  recently  vis- 
ited Wa-shington,  but  it  was  not  stated  that  he  had 
been  commissioned  to  accept  the  cession  of  the 
Islands."  ■ ^

and  which  Mr.j  Hairison  Alnsworth  made  the 
grotm^work  of  ;an  eitertainlng  story,  was  cele- 
brate^  yesterday  is  the  little  Essex  village" 
under  the  most  inat]8picions  circumstances.  The 
weatb  Br  was  very  bad,  heavy  showers  sweeping 
piteotsly  over  the  J  lata,  and  drenching  merry- 
makei  s  to  j  ihe  skin,  or  driving  them  for 
shelte  r  to  the  beer-shops  ;  the  attendance  was  poor, 
andtle^tme  joyoixa  spirit  was  absent ;  the  interest 
felt  in  the  event  in  the  locality  was  but  small, 
and  the  expected  candidates  for  the  quaint  prize 
failed  to  put  lii  appearance  in  substantiation  of  their 
claims.  It  was  hoped  jthat  two  contentc^d  pairs  wonld 
enter  j^  emulation  fori  the  gammon — Mr.  Andrews, 
F.  R.  H.  S..  of  Hull,  ilnd  an  Irishman  from  Cole- 
raine,  who  is  happy  inj  the  partnership  of  an  English 
lady  f^om  Surrey.  I((  appears  the  Irishman  did  ac- 
tuallyi  viKitX>u!nmow  on  aundav,  but  not  liking  the 
appearances  of  things;:  he  surfeptitionsly  departed. 
lea\-inig  no  address.  Mr.  Andrews  was  compelled  to 
reslcDj  his  pretpnsionSij  a  certain  domestic  occurrence 
of  an  interesting  niature.  which  would  prevent 
Mrs.  Andrewsl  from  '  accompanying  him,  having 
occurred  in  his  family  only  a  week  ago.  At  the 
last  moment.  ;when  the  lovers  of  the  "  good  old 
times  I"  and  their  observances  were  almost  in  despair, 
a  cosy  couple  were  induced  to  come  to  the  front. 
Their  names  are  Barrack  :  they  are  natives  of  the 
parisb,  of  the  humbler  class,  and  they  are  the  parente 
of  a  doten  blooming  children.  It  Is  unnecessary 
■to  sav  much  respecting  the  history  of  the  cnstom, 
which,  he  It  said  en  pciJtsant,  is  considered  by  a  great 
many  persons  even  in  iDuumow  to  be  far  more  hon- 
ored in  the  breach  thkn  the  observance.  Like  the 
courts  of  love  in  Franhe.  it  boasts  of  exalted  patron- 
ace  a|)d  antiquity  anterior  to  the  times  of  I^ers 
Plowman  and  tChouber,  both  of  Tvhom  allude 
to  it.  To  ;  iR^bert  I^tzwnlters,  who.  in  the 
reign  Of  Henry  1  III.,  w-as  howl  of  a  religions  house 
ab6ut|four  miles^from  |  Ihinmow.  its  origin  is  traced. 
With  pious  motives,  no  douiit.  ho  ordained  that  "he 
which:  renento^hihim  riot  of  his  marriaee,  sleeping  or 
wakiints,  in  a  yiere  and  a  dav.  miqht  lawfully  fetch  a 
camdpn  of  hac<^n."  f^VhetHe^  this  tradition  he  well 
founded  or  not,  Icertaiii  it  is  that  the  cnstom  existed 
at  a  y^rv  early'  neriodj  in  the  Priory  of  Little  Dun- 
mow,  jOf  delivering  a  flitch  or  a  gammon  of  bacon  to 
any  couple  who  claimed  it,  and  could  swejir,  a  year 
and  a]  day  after  their  marriage,  that  dnring  that 
time  they  had  never  offended  each  other  in  deed  or 
word,  I  or  ever  wished  themselves  unmarried  again.

pretty  and  nicely  dressed,)  was  "the  illusion  dlspelieiJ. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Barrack  did  not  remind  the  poetic 
spertaltor  of  turtle-doves  ;  they  looked  a  homely,  af- 
feetIoiat«.  honest  pair  :  they  were  dressed  in  their 
Stindav  best,  nprid  they  eyed  the  side  of  bacon — and  a 
tempting  side|of  bacon  it  wa.*! — with  a  grim  earnest- 
ness. Messrs,  Tegg  ,  and  Savill  acquitted  them- 
selves cf  their  parts  creditably;  there  wils 
singin:  J  aud  ;ptano  splaying,  but  the  trial  was 
tho  )urlesqU6  of  &'\  burlesque.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Barrack  laughed,  the  jury  laughed,  but  the 
President  and^lr.  Savtii  maintained  a  dignified  com- 
posure. There  w;ere  neither  barristers  nor  witnesses ; 
there  was  no  lexamiiiatton  ;  a  few  questions  were 
simply  put  by  [Mr.  Teg»  as  to  the  .state  of  relations 
between  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Barrack,  and  then  they  were 
adjudj:ed  the  eammonl  amid  murmurs  of  appro- 
batior  and  corgratulatSon.  A  procession  was  then 
forme i  outside,  headed  by  a  ''marshal  on  horse- 
back,' who  was  eyidently  not  qnolifled  to  be- 
come a  rouih'  rider;  in  a  crack  cavalry  regi- 
ment ;  j  behina  him  |  marched  a  volunteer  band 
playing  "See  the  ';  conquering  hero  comes ;" 
on  a  pole  wow  bomo'  the  conquered  bacon,  then 
some  banners  ;with  strange  devices,  followed  by  the 
centnl  figures  of  the  fete,  carried  in  a  roomy  chair 
RUpported  on  men's  ;shoulders  ;  next  the  jury  in  an 
open:  ^rriage,  the  "  officers  of  the  court"  and  lastly, 
the  populace,  j  The  procession  straggled  to  an  inclosed 
mead(  w  on  the  gravelly  hil!  bv  tne  Chelmer.  where 
a  nutiber  of  1  show-booths,  shooting-galleries,  and 
fruit  f  tails  hadj  been  ^erected.  The  flitch  was  htmjr  up 
to  thf  admiring  gaze  of  the  population  on  a  plat- 
form, on  whic^  some  acrobats  had  been  tumbiinK. 
and  uiider  which  a  Punch  and  Judy  show  was  about 
to  open.  Suddenly,  [down  rushed  an  overwhelming 
shower,  and  dainpened  the  ardor  of  Donmow.  It 
would  have  been  cruelty  to  ask  of  any  mere  stranger 
io  wait  to  see  'k'hat  foljlowed  ;  the  rain  was  not  to  he 
resisted.  No  araouU|t  of  good  nature  would  justify 
one  iu|recording;that  this  attempt  at  a  celebration 
was  not  a  dreary  failure.

students  present,  24  of  whom  rowed,  and  there  were 
three  coxswainis.  TheiHarvarda  won  the  race.  It  is 
believed  that  nparlv  all  tho  members  of  the  crews  are

THE  LOST  GEORGE  S.   WRIGST. 


THE  SWORN  STATEJIENT  OF  THE  SOLE  SUE- 
TIVOR  OF  THE  ILL-FATED  STEAMER— 
PARTICDLAES  OP  THE  MURDER  OF  THOSE 
WHO  ESCAPED  THE  PERILS  OF  THE  SEA. 

From  the  Victoria  papers  of  July  18  is  ob- 
tained the  following  statement  of  the  Indian.  Billy 
Coma,  with  regard  to  the  murder  of  the  few  stir- 
vivors  of  the  wreck  of  the  steamer  George  S.  Wright, 
elicited  in  the  Police  Gonrt  on  his  examination  be- 
fore Judge  Courtnay  In  the  trial  of  Wi-hai-tun,  an. 
Indian,  charged  with  having  wilftjly  murdered 
Thomas  Ainsley,  Master  of  the  American  steamer 
George  S.  Wright,  on  or  about  the  25th  of  Jantiary, 

1873: 

Billy  Coma,  being  sworn,  aaid  that  he  was  a  coal- 
passer  on  board  the  steamer  G,  8.  Wright ;  he  ship- 
ped on  -board  two  months  and  two  weeks  before  she 
ole^  up  opposite  Waukaneo  ;  when  she  blew  up  he 
was  in  bed ;  went  on  deck  and  there  found  four 
soldiers,  who  woke  up  the  Captain  and  mate  ;  they 
lowered  the  boat  and  told  the  Captain  to  come  on 
board  the  boat,  but  he  refused  to  go ;  he  said  he 
wonld  not  lea,ve  the  steamer,  but  would  die  there  ; 
the  soldiers  then  took  hold  of  him  and  put  him  In 
the  boat ;  witness  also  wention  board;  almost  im- 
mediately afterword  the  stealer  went  down  ;  did  not 
know  how  many  persons  were  on  board;  one  of  the 
soldiers  was  a  big,  black-whiskered  man,  with  a 
soldier's  coat  and*  brass  buttons,  h©  had  four  gold 
stripes  on  his  arm,  one  on  each  shoulder,  and 
a  small  eagle  on  his  cap :  they  were  three  hours 
getting  to  land,  and  when  ihey  got  there  made  a  fife ; 
the  Cai>tain  had  nothing  but  his  pantaloons  and 
undershirt  on ;  they  gathered  a  lot  of  brush  and 
covered  themselves  up  with  this  to  cet  warm ;  the 
Captain  told  tho  witness  to  look  after  the  fire  and 
not  let  it  go  out,  for  if  he  did  they  wonld  all  die  of 
cold ;  about  4  o'clock  in  the  morning  they  had  a  big 
fire,  and  some  Indians  came  in  sight  in  a  canoo  ;  does 
not  know  how  many  were  in  the  canoe :  the  Captain 
hailed  them  and  told  them  ho  would  rive  $500  to 
take  them  down  to  Bella  Bella;  tho  Indians  told 
them  to  stay  there  and  they  would  go  and  get 
some  blankets ;  the  witness  was  interpreter ; 
the  Captain,  &c.,  stayed  there  all  that  d!ay  till 
11  at  night ;  the  Cantain  laid  down  close  to 
the  fire,  the  four  soldiers  on  the  other  side  of  the 
tire,  the  mate  by  the  side  of  tho  Captain,  and  witness 
was  sitting  down  by  the  fire  ;  they  were  all  a-sleep 
with  the  exception  of  himself  -.  about  11  o'clock  four 
Indians  came  in  a  small  canoe  :  witness  overheard 
them  talking :  the  old  man,  Hnats-se-ce-lar,  pro- 
posed to  shoot  him  (witness  ;]  he  called  out  and  told 
them  not  to  shoot  him,  for  if  they  did  not  they 
would  get  lots  of  blankets  ;  he  then  woke  up  the 
Captain  and  told  him  the  Indians  had  come  to  do 
some  harm  ;  as  the  Captain  was  getting  ap  "We-hai- 
tun  fired  two  shots  at  him  -,  the  first  shot  hit  him  in 
The  stomach,  the  other  in  the  breast ;  the  Captain 
foil,  crawled  on  his  hands  and  feet  a  little  distance, 
and  th^n  dropped  ;  one  of  the  Indians  not  pr>.'5ent 
in  court,  shot  tho  mate  while  he  was  Ijing  down  : 
tho  Indians  had  flint-lock  muskets  ■  the  old 
man  Huats-se-ce-lar  lo.ided  the  jruns  ;  the  soldiers 
were  shot  as  soon  as  they  got  tip  by  two  Indians  not 
in  court :  dnring  the  time  this  was  going  on  witness 
had  left  the  fire  and  gone  into  the  bush  :  after  tho 
Indians  had  killed  them  all.  Huats-se-celar  and  two 
other  Indians  came  up  to  the  fire,  and  one  of  the  In- 
dians took  up  the  captain's  watch.  Huatu-se-ce-lar 
picked  lip  the  box.  but  they  all  claimed  it.  and  a 
quarrel  arose  which  re-sulted  in  the  shooting  of  one  of 
the  Indians  :  the  others  took  the  box  and  went  to 
ihe  canoe,  then  came  back  and  pat  the  dead  men  into 
the  canoe,  tied  heavj'  stones  to  their  necks  and  sunk 
them  in  the  water  ;  the  witness  for  four  days  had 
nothinc  to  eat,  he  stayed  by  the  fire  all  this  time  ; 
the  Indians  wanted  to  take  him.  but  he  said  no.  that 
he  wonld  walk  to  Bella  Bella  :  he  started,  and  was 
walking  along  the  shore  looking  for  something  to  eat. 
when  the  Indians  came  up  and  told  him  that 
if  he  did  not  come  they  would  shoot  him  :  so  he  went 
with  them  to  Waukanee ;  he  stayed  there  a  lone 
time;  the  Indians  jrave  him  a  klootchman  not  to  say 
anything  about  what  had  happened  to  the  white 
people  :  the  first  white  man  he  told  was  Tom  St-if- 
ford.  who  was  one  of  the  "onvict  efiards  :  he  had  not 
told  anyone  hefore.  becaiuse  the  Waukanees  told  him 
that  if  he  did  they  would  go  to  his  country  and  Idll 
him  and  take  all  belonging  to  him  :  he  did  not  know 
where  the  clothes  were  or  the  Captain's  watch  :  he 
>ieneved  the  mate's  pipe  was  in  the  possession  of 
another  tribe  now;  he  has  been  livins:  over  tho 
sound  since  1  ^73  :  npver  told  any  one  over  there  ; 
b«'  said  he  had  never  told  any  one  before,  because  he 
was  afniid.  and  would  not  have  told  now  only  Marj* 
at  .-M'^rt  Bay  had  told  on  him  ;  the  boat  the  Captain 
landed  from  was  a  white  boat ;  the  Indians  buraed 
it. 

Thf^  f*n,<!e  was  then  adjourned  for  one  week  for  the 
production  of  further  evidence. 


THE  GALILEAX  FISffERMEX, 


PECULIARITIES  OF   A    LARGE  SECRET  SOCIETY 

OF   COLORED    PEOPLE  JN  BALTIMORE. 

From  thf  Baltimore  Bulletin,  Aug.  3. 

This,  rooming  a  colored  woman  named  Eliza 
Dickson  applied  to  Justice  Kreis,  of  the  Southern 
Station,  for  a  warrant  for  the  arrest  of  another  col- 
ored wom-in  named  Ann  Manothy.  on  the  charge  of 
a.'i.'iault.  Justice  Kreis  asked  when  the  assault  was 
committed,  when  the  woman  replied  that  it  hap- 
pened over  two  weeks  ago.  The  Justice  then  stated 
that  he  could  not  Issae  a  warrant,  for  the  reason  that 
it  looked  very  much  as  If  she  fElizn]  was  swearing 
ont  the  warrant  throuch  motives  of  spite.  The 
woman  tl-.en  sl.-ited  that  she  wanted  to  arrest  the 
woman  at  tho  lime,  but  "the  society"  would  not 
;iliow  Jier. 

On  beins  questioned  as  to  the  nature  of  the  "so- 
cietv,"  ihe  foUowiug  facts  were  elicited :  Both  parties 
in  the  case  are  members  of  a  colored  organizHtion 
known  as  the  Grand  TJnited  Order  of  Galilean 
Fishermen  ;  they  behma  to  Mount  Zion  Lodge.  Xo.  3. 
which  meets  at  "iso.  43  South  Libert y^ street.  One  of 
the  princip.al  mles  of  tho  society  requires  all  mem- 
bers to  renounce  their  right  to  ripply  for  protection 
or  redress  against  each  othet  to  the  civil  law,  and  to 
brine  all  their  grievances  to  their  particular  lodges 
for  settlement  by  a  coutt:  of  inquiry,  under  penalty  of 
expulsion.  The  head  of  the  organization  is  said  to 
be  a  colored  man  named  Thomas  I.  Hall. 

The  two  women  in  question,  at  the  lime  of  their 
quarrel,  broueht  the  matter  before  their  lodge,  which, 
after  inquiring  into  tno  case,  declined  to  do  anythinc 
in  the  matter.  This  uid  not  satisfy  Eliza,  who  made 
application  for  a  warrant  ns  st.-ited.  Justice  Kreis, 
on  hearing  the  story  of  Eliza,  informed  her  that  ns 
she  had  not  made  complaint  against  her  alleged  as- 
sailant at  the  time  of  the  a.ssault.  but  had  preferred 
to  appeal  to  the  society,  she  must  abide  by  its  deci- 
sion, as  the  law  could  not  now  be  appealed  to.  owing 
tfi  the  time  that  had  elapsed  between  the  alleged  as- 
sault and  the  ct>mplaint. 

The  woman  departed,  greatly  disappointed  at  her 
failure  to  obtain  revenge  on  her  assailant.  It  is  im- 
derstood  that  the  society  is  composed  of  17  loi'i.'es. 
numbering  about  3.000  members.  The  lodces  meet 
twice  a  month.  There  is  a  grand  lodee.  which  meets 
once  a  year,  of  which  the  man  Ha'.l  above  referred  to 
is  the  "Supreme  Judge."  The  society  is  hene3cial 
in  its  nature,  each  member  being  allowed  a  certain 
sum  during  sickness,  or  when  death  occurs  in  a  fami- 
ly, and  is  very  popular  among  ihe  colored  residiints, 
particularly  in  South  Baltimore.

A  number  of  oflScer.s  and  lawyers  from  this 
city  were  over  at  Morenci  yesterday  attending  the 
examination  of  Knney,  accused  of  attempting  to 
bum  his  own  saloon.  After  the  trial  was  over,  the 
Adrian  gentleman  and  a  crowd  of  Morenci  people 
were  assembled  on  the  Exchange  Hotel  steps,  when 
"  Banty  "  Smalley,  a  well  known  character  therei 
told  in  a  loud  voice  his  troubles  to  the  lawyers.  At 
the  time  of  the  attempted  Incendiarism  a  knife  w«s 
found  in  the  saloon,  upon  the  blade  of  which  was  a 
nick  corresponding  to  a  mark  in  the  shavings.  An 
Adrian  insurance  man  pocketed  tho  knife  in  evi- 
dence against  Knney.  The  knife,  it  seems,  was  tho 
property  of  tho  aforesaid  "Banty,"  who  tinkers 
pumps  and  does  other  carpenter  work.  He  claims 
that  in  consequence  of  being  deprived  of  that  knife, 
(which  was  worth  about  10  cents, )  he 
had  lost  a  number  of  good  jobs,  and  asked 
advice  as  to  bow  he  should  proceed  to  pet 
his  property.  One  lawyer  snggested  that  he 
make  a  demand  upon  the  insurance  man  for  the 
kn'ife.  The  inlured  man  did  so,  in  company  with  a 
witness,  but  of  course  got  no  satisfaction  about  tha 
matter.  He  returned  to  the  Adrian  crowd,  and  one 
lawj-er  humorously  succested  that  he  reple\Tn  the 
knife.  "  But  I  can't  find  it."  said  "  Banty."  "  Make 
out  a  complaint  and  take  him  with  a  civil  warrant." 
said  another  lawyer,  without  dreaming  his  suggestion 
would  be  acted  upon.  Finally  the  Adrian  profes- 
sionals and  the  insurance  man  returned  home.  Late 
last  evening  Officer  Rowley  arrived  with-a  warrant 
for  the  insurance  man.  and  it  was  not  without  con- 
siderable special  pleating  that  the  officer  consented 
to  allow  his  prisoner  to  remain  here  until  this  morn- 
ing. Th©  joke  is  really  a  cruel  outrage  upon  the  in- 
surance man.  but  the  boys  are  lauching  over  it  con- 
siderably this  morning,  since  the  officer  hnd  his  pris- 
oner have  departed  for  the  unpar^leled  town  on  the 
Bean.  The  Morenciana  doubtless  feel  avehged  for 
the  arrest  of  the  three  young  men  who  were  brought 
over  here  at  midnight,  to  answer,  before  Jusrice 
Gregory,  a  complaint  for  obstmcting  the  course  of 
justice.  ^^^^^

AMONG  THE  STRIKERS, 

A    detective's    STORIES    TO    A    CREDULOUS 

PHILADELPHIA  REPORTER. 

Fr&m  the  Philadelphia  Press,  Aug.  3. 

When  Gov.  Hartfnmt  was  about  starting  to 
open  the  blockade  on  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  he 
said  to  Mayor  Stokley  :  "  I  want  two  of  yonr  deteo- 
tives-^eool,  keen  hands,  wbo  can  be  depended  on  in 
case  of  an  emergency."  And  Detectives  W.  S.  Row- 
land and  Kenry  Weyl  were  accordingly  detailed,  and 
ordered  to  report  to  the  Governor  for  duty.  They 
had  a  hard  job  to  see  the  Governor.  "VThen  they 
approached  his  head-quarters  two  worse-looking 
Mollie  Magnires  couldn't  have  been  found  In  the  coal 
regions.  But  they  managed  to  obtain  an  audience 
at  last,  and  this  is  the  story  of  their  exploits  as  told 
bv  Detective  Rowland  yesterday :  "  Well,  yon  know 
all  about  us  leaving  here,  and  how  we  went 
bouncing  along  towards  the  AUegbanies.  The 
greatest  trouble  w©  had  was  to  get  ont  and  into 
the  Governor's  car,  because  the  guards  looked  at  us 
with  the  idea  that  we  were  hard  cases,  and  had  no 
business  there.  We  got  that  fixed,  however,  by  get- 
ting a  pass  from  the  Governor  himself.  At  Altoona 
things  began  to  look  lively.  There  were  not  many 
strikers  visible,  but  the  women  there  were  awfully 
vindictive,  and  were  jeering  the  troops  and  sayinj|r : 
'  You'll  never  get  through  the  tunnel  alive ;  the  boys 
wUl  blow  It  up  on  you.'  Weyl  and  I  went  off  the 
car,  and  got  out  among  the  crowd.  Nobody  sus- 
pected us,  and  we  fraternized  freely  with  the 
strikers  evervwhere,  and  easily  obtained  their  confi- 
dence by  saymj;  that  we  were '  engineers  from  Bald- 
win's Locomotive  Works  in  Philadelphia,  and  had 
struck  there.  We  told  them  that  the  Plilladelphia  peo- 
ple hod  no  backbone,  and  were  afraid  to  strike  for 
their  rights,  and  that  we  had  come  West  to  go  in 
with  those  who  dared.  They  had  their  head-quarters 
in  a  gin-milL  and  tliere  was  no  laek  of  leaders  and 
no  want  of  disposition  to  do  mischief  if  the  opportu- 
nity were  favorable.  They  were  well  organized  for 
this  thing,  and  engineers  'brakeraen.  and  trackmen 
all  understood  each  other.  We  heard  from  one  of 
the  men  at  Altoona  of  a  scheme  which  might  have 
proved  suceessfiri  and  worked  great  destruction  had 
it  not  been  happily  thwarted.  It  was  proposed  by 
the  strikers  to  run  an  engine  up  the  mountain,  and 
as  soon  as  it  was  known  that  the  train  with  the 
troops  wa-s  cominc  to  let  her  go  slashing  down.  You 
can  imagine  what  would  have  been  the  result  if 
this  had  been  done.    But  it  wasnt. 

"The  Governor  pave  orders  afterthis  that  the  train 
be  run  by  the  block  system.  That  is. .  it  don't  move 
until  the  line  for  four  miles  ahead  is  known  to  be 
clear  of  obstructions.  We  sent  two  detachments  on 
foot  through  the  tunnel  ahead  of  the  train,  and 
every  precution  was  taken  to  prevent  accidents.  We 
got  tlmmgh  all  right.  Pittsburg  was  lively — ^very 
lively.  We  soon  found  ourselves  right  among  the 
strikers,  and  in  20  minutes  we  were  all  right.  I  had 
a  chat  with  one  man  which  explains  a  point  now  in- 
volved in  mystery.  He  said  that  he.  with  a  good 
many  more  of  the  strikers,  when  this  thing  besran, 
made  up  their  minds  to  stop  the  running  of  trains  on 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  until  the  Govemmeni 
had  to  take  charj^e  of  the  line.  There  was,  he  said, 
'a  clause  in  the  charter  of  the  comjiany  which  gave 
the  Government  the  right,  after  a  certain  time, 
to  tak<»  possession  of  the'road  if  its  owners  failed  to 
transport  the  mails.  This  wild  idea  hud  evidently 
Eained  considerable*  belief  among  the  more  ignorant 
of  the  men.  and  a  more  ignorant  lot  I  neVer  saw 
luiywhere.  We  were  tliere  ostensibly  trying  to 
obtain  work,  and  in  making  our  rounds  we  found  10 
or  12  applicants  for  every  job  vacant.  It  was  tho 
same  m  Allegheny,  and  pretty  mnch  the 
KHine  in  East  Liberty.  I  tell  you  the  people 
th<^re  are  just  now  begir.Tiing  to  appreciate  the 
extent  of  their  foUv.  There  is.  a  little  incident 
which  occurred  at  Johnsfown.  worth  mentioning 
We  got  off  there,  and  weren't  among  the  strikers  15 
mlnntes  when  we  discovered  the  man  who  opened 
the  switches  and  threw  a  train  off  the  track.  He  was 
an  engineer,  and  as  desperate  a  scoundrel  as  is  ia 
the  State.  He  doesn't  live  in  Johnstown  any  more  ; 
tney  are  taking  care  of  him  in  the  Arsenal  at  Pitts- 
burg. I  tell  you  the  Governor  is  the  man  for  the 
place.  When  other  people  around  hitr  were  eating 
and  drinking  and  fonli^g.  he  was  attending  right 
square  to  buiinejiF.  It  was  a  pretty  nice  trip—for 
that  kind  of  a  trip.  Isjthe  strike  over  J  Xow,  it  is 
about  as  badly  a  busted  strike  as  I  know,  and  they 
won't  try  the  same  game  atrain.  Xo — ^no^[thought- 
fiiUy] — not  after  they  p^y  for  this,  for  some  years  to 


THE  ADAMS  EXPRESS  TRAX'SFER. 

WHAT  THE  SUPERIKTEKDEXT  OP  THE  BALTI- 
MORE OFFICE  HAS  TO  SAY — THE  XEW 
BALTIMORE  A^^)  OHIO  EXPRESS. 
From  the  Baltimore  Gazelle,  Aug.  3. 
Yesterday  a  reporter  of  the  Gazette  called  at 
the  office  of  Adams  Express  Company  to  obtain  some 
information  regarding  the  present  .  condition  of 
affairs  and  how  the  mercantile  community  are  af- 
fected by  the  recent  withdrawal  of  the  business  of 
Ailams  Express  Company  from  the  Baltimore  and 
Ohio  Railroad.  The  Superintendent  said  that  Adams 
Express  Company  can  reach  Frederick,  Martinsbug. 
Cumberland,  all  points  on  the  Cumberland  and  Penn- 
sylvania Railroa'l,  ^^*heeling  and  Parkersburg,  but 
cannot  reach  intermediate  points.  It  can  reach  all 
points  v/est  of  the  Ohio,  and  through  business 
has  in  no  way  I  een  affected  by  7\^ 
chance.  The  company  had  given  the  Baltimora 
and  Ohio  its  throuch  business,  not  on  ac- 
count of  any  special  advantaire  to  be  iraiued  bv  so  do- 
ing, hut  just  befaxise  it  was  running  that  roatf.  Theii 
is  no  feeling  between  the  railroad  and  express  coni 
pany,  and  the  Superintendent  said  he  felt  regret  al 
part'ing  with  old  friends.  All  the  offices  of  .\dam; 
E.Tpress  Company,  he  said,  t^^mld  be  closed  on  tJij 
Valley  Railroad  this  side  uf  Scranton.  and  all  on  tliJ 
Metropolitan  Road.  All  intermediate  on  the  Bal'.i 
more  and  Ohio  Railroad,  between  Baltimore  and 
points  above  name<.l.  and  all  on  the  Parkersbui 
Branch,  except  Parkersburg.  will  also  be  closet 
While  the  closing  of  these  offices  shuts  off  receipts' 
from  those  place's,  it  will  be  of  financial  advantage 
to  the  Express  Company,  as  the  disbursements  for 
sen-ing  them  have  always  been  larger  than  the  re- 
ceipts. The  only  ineonve'iiience  that  would  result  to 
the  public,  would  arise  from  the  Baltimore  and  Oiiio 
Railroad  Company  not  doing  the  money  express  and 
the  C.  O.  D.  business.  He  did  not  know  whether 
they  would  transact  this  business  or  not.  The  Super- 
intendent said  that  he  would  do  all  in  his  power  to  as- 
sist the  Railroad  Company  to  make  its  experiment  a 
success. 

The  Superintendent  of  the  new  Baltimore  apd 
Ohio  Expre.ss,  which  the  coijpany  has  established 
along  its  lines,  said  to  a  rfeiwrter  of  the  Gazette  yes- 
terday that  the  company  was  now  only  operating  the 
express  as  far  as  the  Ohio  River  and  Pjttsbm^.  be- 
cause the  contracts  of  Adkms  Express  Company- 
over  its  lines  wonld  not  terminate  until  the  15th 
inst.  By  that  time  the  company  hoped  to  have  Its 
express  organized  and  equipped  for  points  beyond 
the  Ohio.  They  proposed  to  have  offices  at  Chicago. 
St.  Louis,  Louisvule,  Cincinnati,  and  all  intermediate 
points.  They  were  not  vet  organized  for  doing  the 
usual  express  money  an^l  C.  0.  D.  business,  but  will 
do  so  as  soon  as  safes  are  procui-ed  and  messengers 
appointed.  The  railroad  company  was  determuied 
that  the  public  should  suffer  no  inconvenience  by  the 
recent  change. 

A  OURIO&ITY  OF  THE  DAT. 
The  St.  Louis  Rtpubliran  attempts  to  "im- 
prove the  occasion  "  by  talking  in  tbi'5  peculiar  way : 
"Suppo?e  tne  strikehad  taken  place  two  years  ago. 
under  Grant,  or  that  when  it  took  place  two  weeks 
ago  the  Government  had  been  involved  in  the  Grant 
policy  of  maintaining  offensive  carpet-b^  Govern- 
ments in  two  or  tiiree  Southern  States,  what  would 
we  have  seen?  This:  Either  tho  troops  retained  at 
the  South  to  protect  the  carpet-ifaccers  from  the 
wrath  of  the  people,  and  Maryland,  West  Virginia, 
and  Pennsylvania  left  to  the  unresisted  strikers,  or 
the  troops  transferred  to  those  States,  leaving  South 
Carolina  and  Louisiana  to  au  unopposed  revolutiou. 
It  might  have  been  even  worse  tnan  thi.s ;  the  op- 
pressed and  harassed  whites  of  these  two  States 
might  have  recognized  the  strike  spreading  so  rapidly 
throughont  the  Xorth  as  their  ooportunity.  mpuio 
common  cause  with  the  strikers,  and  risen  in  force  to 
assert  their  rights  against  Federal  oppression-  Had 
they  done  this  the  strikers,  eu'^onnured  and  stimu- 
lated by  the  diversion  in  their  favor,  would  have  pro- 
ceeded to  more  violent  measures  and  excesses,  the 
feeble  Federal  forces  would  have  been  overwhelmed 
by  the  task  allotted  to  them,  and  a  national  call  for 
volunteers  to  suppress  the  two  rebellions  might  have 
been  unavoidable.  Fortunately,  this  peril  was 
averted  by  the  withdrawal  of  the  trooTis  from  Louisi- 
ana and  South  Carolina  four  months  ago.  so  that 
when  the  strike  was  made  the  Government,  with  no 
other  task  on  its  hands,  was  free.to  employ  its  forces 
against  the  Northern  enemies.  If  Mr.  Hayes  had 
actually  foreseen  the  strike  four  months  aeo  he 
could  not  have  more  intellicently  and   efficiently  pre- 

Sared  for  it  than  by  recalling  the  troops  from  ^ew- 
rleans  and  Columbia." 


REFUSE  TO  WORK  WITH  MILITIAMEX. 

The  Baltimore  G'o2€ffe  of  Friday  says  :  "On 
Friday.  July  20,  several  of  the  employes  at  the  shoe 
factory  of  C-  Heiser,  No.  253  West  Baltimore-street, 
being  members  of  the  Sixth  Regiments  responded 
with  others  to  the  military  call.  After  tho  regiment 
was  relieved  from  dutv  they  returned  to  their  work 
and  were  ill  received  *by  some  of  their  fellow-work- 
men, who  went  to  Mr.  Heiser  and  requested  their 
dischaMje  on  tho  ground  that  they  had  been  engaged 
in  puttutg  down  their  fellow-workmen  at  the  point  of 
the  bayonet.  Mr.  Heiser  refused,  saying  that  the 
men  were  members  of  the  State  Militia,  and  had  sim- 
plv  done  their  duty  in  responding  to  the  cnlL  Four 
of' the  wortanen  then  left  his  employ.  Since  the  ex- 
citement has  quieted  down  the  men  who  left  the  fac- 
tory are  desirous  of  retumine:.  and  have  addressed  a 
note  to  Mr.  Heiser  to  that  effect.  He  has,  however, 
up  to  this  time  declined  to  take  them  back  into  his 
employ."  ^

THE  ST.  \LOUIS  PARADE. 
St.  Ixmis  had  a  pknde  of  its  improviaed  tsllt 
taiy  force  on  Tuesday,  and  the  R^nibli$an  thna  al- 
ludes to  it :  "  Yesterday's  parade  -nna  in  many  re* 
spects  absolutely  marrelons,  and  tt  was  dlAmlt  to 
reahze  that  every  company,  with  scarcely  half  ik  dffwii 
exceptions,  bad  come  into  being  within  the  psst  ureg 
days.  There  was.  of  course,  an  absence  of  that  ^ 
clock-like  precision  of  movement  that  disthuidahefl 
trained  veterans,  but  there  was  shownT  nerathelesa, 
a  complete  aeqmdntance  with  the  tactics  and  a  eom> 
parative  accuracy  in  the  execution  of  all  morement« 
that  left  little  to  stigaest  the  idea  of  raw  rwrraita.  It 
Is  donbtftil  if.  even  In  Prussia  and  France,  where 
compulsory  military  service  prevail*,  and  tho  (Scv. 
emment  alms  to  make  ■  cverv  adult  mala' 
a  soldier,  such  a  thorotighly  disciplined  foro*  could  be 
raised  from  the  ranks  of  ci\-il  life  within  the  brief. 
space  of  one  week.  The  njen  on  x>arade  yesterday 
were  soldiers,  in  every  nense  of  the  word,  and  it  waa- 
apparent  to  every  observer  that  sUcb  a  degree  at  ex- 
cellence could  not  have  been  attained  In  anngle  week 
without  a  considerable  proportion  of  the  men  having 
undergone  a  thorougb  course  of  trmning  at  some  pre- 
vious time.  That  waa  the  real  secret  of  our  oeir 
Militia's  extraordinary  proficiency.  The  late  dvil 
war  hoe  left  us  more  completely  a  nktlon  of  dtlxen 
soldiers  than  ever  before,  and  the  severe:  course  of 
discipline  whicii  so  great  a  nnmber  of  01m 
people  underwent  during  the  rebellion,  fur-* 
nishes  a  body  f  of  veterans  capable  o( 
meeting  all  the  needs  of  the  Government 
or  the  States  in  suppressing  domestic  violence.  jUl 
that  is  reqiiired  is  to  keep  up  the  voluntary  aplifl  of 
which  yesterday's  demonstration  was  so  notable  an 
example  by  encouragement  through  proper  Statfe 
Militia  laws,  spreadiufc  among  thepeopIeV  knowledee 
of  military  tactics,  and  Insplrins  confidence  in  t2t^ 
ability  to  protect  themselves.  The  value  of  Tetter^ 
day's  parade  to  the  City  of  St.  Lmiis  is  inestimable. 
It  gave  to  the  late  turbnlent  classes  a  wholesoxos 
lesson  that  will  not  be  forgotten  during  this  genera- 
tion, and  it  afforded  the  Jaw-abiding  the  fullest  faitk 
In  the  supremacy  of  the  upholders  of  peaoeand  order. 
Jfot  less  remarkable  was  the  almost  universal  'to-' 
terest,  approoatlon  and  pride  exhibited  by  our  cil^ 
zens  along  the  line  of  march."  1 

HOW  THET  WERE  MARRIED.  \ 
How  a  New- York  youth  SQCceededin  wedding 
the  girl  of  his  choice  before  going  to  IBoston  is  thui 
described  by  the  Pro'\'idence  Press  of  Friday  i  "  Lest 
evening,  about  the  hour  of  6,  as  one  of  our  ytjting

the  person  knocking  to  enter.  The  comer,  a  ytrang 
man  of  perbaps  2.'>  yetars.  stepped  hastily  in,  and  eft«T

as  to  take  in  the  Bituatlon,  'Are  you  a  lawyer  1* 
'Yes,' was  the  reply.  The  stranger,  putting  oU  a

The  New-Haven  Palladium  of  Friday  aajst 
"John  Cogan  and  A.  Marks  started  trom 
Bridgeport  for  New-York  Wednesday  in  j ,  a 
small  skiff.  The  sea  was  rough,  but  they  kiepl

shipped  so  much  water  that  it  became  unmanageable, 
and  they  were  obliged  to  cling  to  the  sides  to  keep 
them-selves  afioat.  While  in  this  unfortnnate  pre* 
dicament  they  were  luckily  seen  by  Cffpt.  Weckt 
from  the  deck  of  the  steamer  Bridgeport,  by  the  aid 
of  a  glass.  He  steered  the  steamer  about  two  milea 
out  of  her  course  to  reach  the  boat,  and  ■when  suffi-

rope  slipped  over  Cogan 's  shoulders,  and  enabled  the 
men  to  pull  him  on  board;  but,  owing  to  Marks'  ex« 
hausted  condition,  he  could  do  hut  little  iu  his  own

'OWTHE SCOWS  WERE  SA  TEDATXIAQASA. 

The  Welland"7W?M(Me  relates  the  following  ac- 
jbunt  of  a  perilnns  feat  on  the  Niagara  River  above 
the  Horseshoe  Fall :  "  On  Thursday  of  last  week  the 
tug  Minerva,  which  is  engaged  in  towing  mud  scows 
from  the  Welland  Canal  to  the  Niagara  River,  hod 
proceeded  well  out  into  the  river  just  above  the 
falls,  with  her  usual  tow  of  three  loaded  scows,  when 
the  lines  holding  the  last  of  the  three  parted,  aud 
the  scow  reeled  around- and  made  for  the  rapids. 
'Jim'  Bampton  was  at  the  wheel,  and  with  great 
presence  of  mind  he  headed  his  tne  for  the  rapids 
and  made  a  circuit  around  tho  scow,  which  was  now 
dangerously  near  the  rocks.  In  the  meantime  the 
men  boarded  the  two  remaining  ecows  and  dtuneed 
them,  rendering  them  easier  to  handle.  When  theV 
approachednearenoughtothemnawsy.  aman  jtinijpea 
aboard  of  her,  fastened  a  line,  and  dnciped  her.  And'  -. 
now  came  the  tug  of  war.  They  lay  on  the  very^ 
edge  of  the  j-apids,  when  the  throttle  was  throwu! 
wide  open  and  the  tug  headed  up  stream  from  the' 
cataract.  It  was  *nip  and  luck'  and  they  .were| 
aliout  to  cut  away  part  of  the  tow.  when  the  tug' 
seemed  to  gain  a  hrtle  on  the  current,  and  gcadaaUf' 
emerged  into  safety."  j  j     J 

A  PERSECUTED  FARMER.  '  ' 

The  Pulaski  (Oswego  County)  Democrat  re- 
lates this :  "David  Trumbull  has  been  very  unfortu- 
nate, having  sustained  a  heavy  loss  in  the  death  of 
several  cows  and  horses  under  circumstances  Biogo- 
lor  and  stispidous.  Several  years  since  he  losi 
through  an  incendiary  a  bam,  1 1  cows,  carris^es, 
&c..  to  the  value  of  some  $2,000.  The  mysterioiu 
loss  of  stock  began  something  over  a  year  since. 
I>urlng  the  season  of  1876  four  cows,  one  3-ye>ar  bU 
buU,  and  two  valtiable  horses  died  at  different  tinxee. 
This  season  five  cows  and  one  horse,  have  died,  and 
in  every  case  very  suddenly  and  In  much  the  same 
way  as  did  those  of  last  year.  It  so  happens  that ' 
the  best  animals  are  always  artacked.  Examinations 
reveal  nothing  peculiar,  and  the  affair  has  natll 
lately  been  shrouded  in  mystery.  Mr.  Trombnll's 
neighbors  have  for  some  time  entertained  su^i. 
clous  of  foul  play,  and  hints  of  poisoning  are  diea>'

SWIMMIXG  ACROSS  NIAGARA.  |  1 
The  Niagara  Falls  Gas^tt^  of  the  Ist  lotirt 
says;  "The  feat  of  switnmlng  across  the  Nlafsra 
River  below  the  falls  has  in  it  so  many  elementi  of 
danger  that  peculiar  credit  has  always  been  accorded 
its  accomplishment.  Within  a  comparatireljr 
short  time,  however,  numerous  persons  have  «ae- 
cessfully  crossed  the  turbulent  stream.,  and  eTen 
some  small  boys  have  demonstrated  their  ability,  to 
accomplish  the  periloas  trip.  On  Monday  of  thia 
week  two  boys— WiUle  Flynn  and  an  adopted  .son  of' 
Mr.  Sully — swam  from  aj>oint  below  the  gas-worka

one  time  the  boys  were  Enveloped  in  the 
thick  foam  on  the  surface  end  were  completely 
lost  sight  of  for  a  few  momenta.  The  anccesaful  ae-

their  numerous  comrades  who  witnessed  the  aflaif

SVM^IER'S  GOLDEX  DAYS. 

CHAPTER  L 
"  Woman  is  at  best  a  contradiction  still." 

I  have  an  intense,  inexpressible  desire  to  go 
fato  the  coantrv  :  I  have  a  wild,  unutterable 
loB^ng  to  see  the  green  fields,  and  to  hear  the 
murmur  of  the  river  as  it  flows  smoothly 
through  the  meadow  at  tho  end  of  auntie's  gar- 
don  ;  1  have  a  mad  impulse  to  throw  myseU 
down  in  a  hay-fie!d;  and  to  to^d  the  hay  about 
until  I  am.  weary  :  but  I  can  Iiave  none  of  these 
grlprious  thini:-;.  f.>r  it  is  the  height  of  the  Lon- 
don season,  and  mother  will  not  let  me  leave- 
home.  I  thii^'i  it  lis  very-  harvl  of  her;  but 
she  bulieves  tlm  \  is  doln-^  li-.-r  duty  by 
■keejilD'.:  rai-  iu  hut.  ivearisome  London  ;  and  she 
thinks  I  oui^ht  to  have  iny  chance  as  well  as  tho 
other  ijirls.  so  sh',;  takes  me  about  to  con'^erts. 
garden  panles.  b.dlii,  I'tJies,  and  flower  shows, 
^until  I  am  in  such  a  whirl  ot  excitement  that  it 
-is  quite  by  chance  that  I  say  tiic  right  thing  to 
the  right  person,  and  do  not  do  something  to 
make  myself  riiT-'-iiilous  .ind  to  vex  my  sisters. 
Mother  thiui;s  that!  it  is  hi!^li  time  one  of  us 
was  married  ;.  and  as  I  am  tha  second,  and  am 
21,  all  her  euer^es  seem  io  be  expended  on  me 
this  season.  i 

I  su^fpose  ii  is  Because  Suibar.i,  my  eldest 
sister,  is  :^-ioii  a  lovely  girl  that  she  can  pick 
audchoo^tj  herhu-Uaud.  so  that  tharu  is  no  fear 
of  her  beiiii:  put  oii  tUe  shelt',  and  that  ther_*  is 
plenty  of  time  for  Helen,  who  is  only  just  out, 
that  mother  ptcLesi  on  me  to  torment  unmerci- 
fully just  now. 

June  is  so  hot  in  London,  and  I  do  lona:  for 
the  country  ;  and  yet  I  am  so  strong  and  well 
that  my  loujjing  does  nut  tuake  me  look  pale, 
and  late  hours  do  not  even  take  tho  lustre  from 
the  roses  iu  m/  cheeks,  or  I  might  appeal  Xo 
motlier  s  heart,  and  then  she  would  let  me  go  to 
the  counirj-  to  Irt^hcn  up  my  beauty. 

I  am  not  a  bit  beautiful,  though :  only  I  am 
young,  and  all  the  Heseltines  have  good  mouths 
ajid  pretty  Ji^arus,,  so  I  come  in  for  those  two 
attributes  just  in  the  same  way  as  I  get  my 
name  of  Lois  Hcselline. 

lam  all  this  time  dreaming  of  the  country 
and  of  pleasant  things  instead  of  dressing  for 
dinner,  and  the  bell  ■will  ring  directly  and  I 
ahall  be  late,  and  f;ifther  will  look  grieved  and 
mother  will  seuld,  and  1  shall  not  be  one  bit 
*  nearer  Coulmorj-. 

In  the  midst  of  my  meditation  Helen  comes 
Into  my  room,  and  says  father  is  waiting  for  ma 
before  he  tells  us  all  a  piece  of  news. 

I  quickly  change  my  dress  while  Nellie  gets 
out  my  ribbons  and  frills,  and  before  long  we 
are  all  eagerly  listening  to  father's  story. 

He  tantalizes  us  by  making  us  guess  his  news, 
and  after  refusing  to  do  so  we  all  make  the 
most  lamentable  failures  in  that  line,  until  1 
Bay,  (my  mind  still  full  of  the  country  :) 

'*  Has  it  anything  to  do  with,  the  Coolm,ory 
people  V 

Then  father  says :  ^ 

'*  Lois'  guess  is  the  nearest,  for  Maggie  is  go- 
ing to  be  married  this  clay  fortnight,  and  she 
wants  Lois  to  go  dowu  at  once  to  help  her  make 
preparations  and  to  be  her  bridesmaid."' 

*•  And  how  did  you  hear  it,  father  V  Barbara 
asks,  as  she  absolutely  looks  interested  about' 
Mag^e }  for  we.  are  all  very  fond  of  oar  only 
cousin. 

*'  Well,  tho  young  man  came  to  see  me  at  tho 
office  to  get  my  consent,  as  I  am  her  guardian  ; 
but  as  your  aunt  and  Maggie  had  already  settled 
ererything,  there  was  nothing  left  for  me  to  do 
except  to  give  them  my  blessing,  which  I  did 
most  heartily." 

Sir.  Strafford  is  a  gentlemanly  young  fellow, 
and  has  been  curate  at  Ck>olmory  for  a  year  ;  he 
has  just  been  presented  with  a  living,  and 
nothing  will  content  him  but  to  marrv  Maggie 
offhand,  so  that  they  may  take  a  holiday  and 
wedding  tour  in  one,  before  they  settle  to  his 
parochial  work  dowu  at  Westbury. 

"  It  is  very  annoying  that  ilaggie's  wedding 
ts  to  take  plEice  just  now,"  mother  says  ;  ana 
Iheu  continnes  :  *'  Why  could  she  not  have 
aaked  Barbara  or  Helen  to  be  her  bridesmaid  in- 
stead of  Lois  i  But  they  always  were  stich 
friends,  I  suppose  I  must  let  her  go  ;"  and  then 
fatiier  decides  the  question  at  once,  and  adds : 

**  Of  cotirse  Lois  must  go.  and  after  the  wed- 
ding she  must  stay  with  Aunt  3Iary  until  Mag- 
gie returns  from  her  hooeymuon  expedition." 

Already  I  am  wildly  happy  at  the  idea  of  leav- 
ing London,  and  happier  still  when  I  think  that 
I  shall  be  out  of  all  the  gayeties  that 
■re  set  down  in  the  engagement-book,  and 
which  stretch  out  until  the  end  of  bairn- 
ing  July.  How  I  commiserate  my  sis- 
tecn  when  I  think  of  what  they  will 
turn  to  go  through  while  I  shall  lazily  enjoy 
the  lovely  Summer  weather  down  at  Coolmory  I 

Don't  think  I  am  not  fond  of  ^yety^  and  even ; 
if  liondon  ;  but  I  am  weary  of  it  all  just  now, 
and  particularly  weary  iof  mother's  efforts  to 
fVt  me  married.  i 

I  have  never  seen  a  man  I  cotild  love,  so  I 
Have  never  wanted  to  be  married  j  but  mother 
win  insist  on  it,  and  seems  to  think  it  reflects, 
discredit  on  her  tact  tliat  she  has  still  her  three 
daughters  on  her  hands. 

I  am  quite  content  to  wait  until  the  others . 
ne  married,  and  then  I  trust  she  will  let  me 
alone  to  enjoy  myself  in  my  own  way,  and  keep 
ptbeo'  company,  while  she  goes  about  finding 
raubands  for  other  people's  daughters. 

I  have  no  reason  to  gmmble  just  now,  though, 

.  tot  my  wish  is  gratifled,  and  I  am   going  down 

to  Goolmory  f  or  six  weeks'  holiday,   and  shall 

01^  return  just  in  time  for  the  general  mijpra-

"Words  are  easy  Uke  ' 
Faithful  friends  are  hard  to  find.' 

:*  — Shakespeare. 

The  wedding  is  over,  ajnd  I  have  just  sent 
home  an  elaborate  account]  of  it.  Auntie  has 
gone  up  to  her  room  to  shed  \mlimitedi  tears, 
tor  she  thinks  it  the  propet*  thing  to  do ;  audi 
feel  rather  dull  and  lonelv  now  that  the  excite- 
ment is  over  and  Slaggie  hais  gone. 

The  weddinsr  was  very /simple,  but  we  made 
everything  look  as  prettjf  3  possible,  and  trans- 
formed the  house  into  aVerfect  bower  of  roses. 
'I[he  church  was  crowded,  and^  Maggie  was  so; 
contented  and  happy  that  she  looked  really 
pretty.  I  was  tho  only  bridesmaid,  aad  had  to 
do  a  good  deal  of  signiiig,  so  that  I  felt  quite  a 
person  of  iraportaoce.  Tfhen  there  was  tho 
breakfast;  then  3Iaggio  went  a^\:ay;  tlien  all 
auntie's  friends  went  to  thejir  respective  Ifomes. 
and  auntie  and  1  are  left  alone  to  enjoy  each: 
other's  company.  The  best  man,  a  youujg  sur- 
geon named  Philip  Graham,  is  staying  at  the 
rectory,  and  I  think  he  njiight  stroll  over  to 
know  how  we  are  after  tho  fatigues  of  the 
day.  A\"hat  I  have  setj-n  of  him  I  like 
very  mtich,  for  he  is  tUll  and  darfc,  and 
appears  to  be  of  a  serious  j  turn  of  mindi;  but 
he  is  not  really  serious,  for  he  ha.s'  an  im- 
mense fund  of  humor,  and  generally  amuses  uie 
to  such  a  degree  that  I  laugh  to  an  immoderate 
extent,  and  am  always  in  dread  of  beiing  re- 
proved by  auntie  ;  but  she  seems  to  enjoy  his 
conversation,  and  never  checks  my  mirth  as 
mother  would.  We  saw  a  good  deal  of  him  be- 
fore the  wedding,  as  heustdtoeome  over  and 
spend  the  day  here  with  ]  Mr.  Straftord,  and 
naturally  we  used  to  go  about  a  good  d-eal  to- 
gether, so  as  not  to  interrupt  the  lovers.  I 
wonder  if  we  shall  ever  see  ihim  now  his  I'riend 
is  gone,  and  how  long  he  will  remain  at  tlie  rec- 
tory. With  all  my  self-lojve  I  can  see  tiiat  he 
does  not  care  a  bit  about  rue.  and  that  tTaere  is 
no  danger  of  his  making  love;  so  if  he  does 
not  contemplate  leaving  daolmory  at  once  Ii 
trust  we  shall  have  some  pleasant  walks  and| 
talks  together.  Next  moraing  auntie  has  re-j 
covered  her  usual  spirits,  and  is  alrt-ady  Iroking 
out  for  letters  from  lUaggie.  Before  we  hjwe  flu- 
ished  breakfast  Mr.  Graham  comes  in  in  just 
the  same  easy  way  as  if  !Mr.  Stralford  wiis  fol- 
lowing him. 

•'Good  morning.  Mrs.  Lisle;  how  are  you! 
after  your  fa^i^nies  of  yesteirdiiy  V  he  says  ;  and' 
then  they  begin  to  discus^  tho  wedding,  and 
talk  it  all  over,  which  to  my  mind  is  ver\'  often 
he  best  part  of  enter1:aiiim^ius. 

I  look  out  of  the  window  ^iilthink  how  pleas- 
ant it  must  be  under  the  shade  of  the  iiKlers 
down  by  the  river'  bank,  and  I  fervently  wish, 
that  Maggie  was  here,  aiid  that  we  mi,;ht  goj 
out  and  .spend  our  morning  there,  as  wo  did 
every  day  last  week.  ] 

X\idenily  Philip  Graham  thinks  tho  samc^ 
thing,  for  turning  from  auutie  to  me.  he  VL>'ks>  if| 
it  would  not  be  pileusantcr  out  of 
doors  this  lovely  morning.  uad  it'  I 
will  stroll  down  to  the  river  with  hini.] 
I  look  toward  auntie  and  dujtifully 
ask  her  if  she  will  accjiupuny  ns  ;  Init  she  div 
clines,  and  says  she  will  spcn<l  the  time  we  are 
oufin  packiujj  tip  Maggie's  pn»sents.  I  feel  I 
ought  to  offer  to  help  her  ;  but  tho  sun  is  shin-| 
ing  so  duzzlin^'ly.  and  there  is  su"h  a  freshj 
breeze  down  by  the  river,  that  my  good  resolu-i 
tion  melts  away,  au'l  in  another  minute  tiiy  hat 
is  on.  and  Phiiip  Graham  and  I  are  saunt'jrinj? 
through  the  de^vy  meadows;  and  I  am  onioying 
pleasant  Coolmory  even  afs  much  as  1  antici- 
pated. I 

We  wan«iorontliroutrh  a  good  many  ll:;lils.  antl 
G:;ally  soitle  tlown  to  v\:^t  in  quiti-  a  nuw  spot. 
It  is  ver\'  lovely,  und  the  .^cent  of  the  cloyer  in- 
toxicates me  to' such  a  degree  thiit  1  thr^iw  my- 
self down  in  it.  and  take  a  long  snilV  btt.tre  I 
lo»jk  up  to  see  what  my  coiup.iuion  is  doing.  He 
re'.r^.nls  me  in  ((uitc  a  sj[>i.'riur  way.  and  t  can- 
not help  laughing,  as  it  stri^es'm''  he  loolcjs  very 
like  Laudseer's  dog  Dignity  ;  while  I  feift  Uko 
Iin)mdeni*p.  with  my  rough  hair  and  my  luit 
very  much  at  one  si<[e. 

After  my  frolic  I  smooth  my  hair,  put  my, 
hat  straight,  open  my  parasol,  and  then  afsk  Mr,j 
Graham  for  a  remark.  He  answers  my  slowly,] 
as  he  says :  ,  ^  j  j 

"I  was  thinking  what  a  child  you  are.  an' 1 
wondering  whether  you  had  any  depth  of  feel- 
ing or  force  uf  character."  ■  I  J 
^tta^uoment  I  am  serious,  for  his  words  chilli 
me  somewhat;  and  then  I  tell  him  that  I  ant 
having  a  suuinier's  holiday,  and  am  just  a  chil<lj 
ai^gin  tor  a  month,  during  which  time  I  want, 
tof leave  all  my  witrries  at  home.  Tltrru  lit^ 
lauahs  in  his  turn  at  me.  and  inquires  my 
troiibles ;  andJ:>el*ore  1  know  what  I  am  say  in  lj 
1  tell  him  all  about  mothi^r  and  thti 
girls,  and  when  our  walk  is  over  ll  feelj 
as!  if  I  had  known  Philip  Graha;n  all  mvj 
life.  Tho  rest  of  tho  day  auntie  and  I] 
devote  to  paying  visits,  and  in  the  evening  we 
answer  Maggie's  letters.  \ 

Air  our  days  pass  pretty  much  in  the  samO 
way.  Every  morning  Philip  Graham  anJj  I  takt| 
a  walk — sometimes  down  to  tlie  riv.-r.  And  ucj 
casionally  to  the  little  tovrn.  two  miles  !off.  td 
fetch  the*  letters  that  arrive  by  the  afternoons 
post.  Aunt  Mary  is  always  busy  in  the  mom| 
ing.  and  never  comes   with  ud.     .She  is  ^uch  o 

me  of 


dear,  sweet  woman,  and  always  reminds 
-father.  I  have  been  with  her  a  great  deal  for 
the  last  two  days,  for  it  has  been  raining  inces 
santly,  and  I  have  not  been  able  to  leave  thi 
house  eveu  for  a  turn  in  the  garrlen.  Wet  days 
in  the  country  are  more  unbearable  than  iin  Lon 
don  :  for  I  feel  as  if  they  deprive  nie  of  sO  juan\ 
modicums  of  fresh  air  that  leisilly  belong  jto  nn-j 
nothing   of   5lr.  rirahaiui  and  t 


'\Vo  have   .seen 
miss  him  very 


much,    a  great  deal  more 


than  \ 


thought  possible ;  perhaps  it  is  because  _. 
have  neither  Barbara  nor  Helen  to  talk  to  aboui 
little  things  that  do  not  interest  auntie.  ■  At  thti 
end  of  the  second  rainy  day  there  is  a  little  exi 
^iteraent  iu  the  house,  because  we  receive  an 
in\-itation  for  a  divnce  at  the  rector^-  nextj  weekl 
Auntie  and  I  find  plenty  to  say  about  what  W(i 
Shall  wear  and  who  will  be  the're.  and  I  go  t^ 
Tj>ed  in  a  pleasant  frame  of  mind,  but  with  an 
intense  desire  for  the  foUo\vintr  day  to  be  finej 
so  that  I  may  go  for  a  walk  with  Mr.  Grahamj 
It  is  just  as  flue  as  I  could  possibly  v.i>h.]and  at 
the  usual  hour  Philip  Gmham  Saunters  in;  anq 
withtnit  waiting  to  be  asked  I  put  on  my  hatj 
and  once  more  we  are  out  in  the  clear,  fresh  airj 
Everything  appears  to  have  benefited  l»y  lht| 
rain ;  the  flowers  and  grass  look  so  re^reshei- 
that  I  exclaim.  ''The  world  seems  as  ifiit  wai 
Just  made,  and  I  am  delighted  to  be  out  again.' 
I  ■- Did  you  find  it  dull  the  last  two  days  Tj 
Mr.  Graham  asks  me:  and  1  <'Oufess  that]  I  did; 
and  t^at  I  wished  he  had  come  to  see  us. ! 

"I  ilid  not  think  you  would  have  liked  it. 
Miss  Heseltiue  ;  because  I  understood  you  to 
say  you  did  not  wish  to  be  bothered  during  your 
visit  to  your  aunt." 

I  look  up  to  see  if  he  is  laughing  at  mc.  but 
he  is  perfectly  serious  ;  so  I  tell  him  that  ho 
does  not  bother  me,  and  ask  him  if  wa  havq 
another  wet  day  to  call  at  auntie's,  so  as  td 
break  the  monotony  and  interrupt  otir  jtete-iW 
t^tes.  This  he  promises,  but  ad<ts  that  he  ifj 
lleaving  Coolmory  nest  week,  and  is  going  tO 
India  as  doctor  on  board  one  of  the  mail-bo.ats.  I 
:  *'  ^Vhy  did  you  not  tell  me  before.  MrJ 
Graham  ?"  I  ask ;  and  I  feel  as  if  he  hud 
wronged  me  hj  not  telling  me  sooner.  j 
'  *'  I  have  only  just  got  the  appointment,  and 
only  knew  it  myself  am  horn*  a^o  ;  and  I 
hastened  over  here  to  tell  you,  becaiis^.  Miss 
Heseltine,  I  look  upon  you  as' one  of  my  dearest 
friends."  '  1 

O,  how  his  words  delight  me  !  At  last  I  havej 
met  a=nian  who  is  honest  enough  to  tellja  girl 
he  looks  upon  her  as  a  friend,  imd  who  does 
not  mask  his  friendship  behind  a  llimsy  veil  of 
flirtation.  | 

"  I  am  so  glad  you  look  upon  me  as  a  friend,. 
Mr.  Graham._  Now  I  can  tell  you  that  you 
have  made  my  visit  to  auntie  much  more  en- 
joyable by  your  friendship ;  so  let  us  shake 
hands  on  it  and  vow  etemall  fidelity." 

I  put  my  hand  out  to  I  him,  and  raised  my 
voice  to  a  theatrical  pitch,  then  looked  up  at 
him  with  my  eyes  full  of  laughter  ;  but  his  are 
looking  at  me  so  tenderly  that  I  drop  mine  to 
the  ground,  and  cannot  raise  them  again  even 
when  he  says,  in  his  usual  voice  : 

**  Thank  you,  dear  little  Lois.  I  think 
you  are  a  woman  who  will  prove  as 
good  as  your  word  on  all  occasions ; 
and  I  think  you  are  one  whosejfriendship  is  true 
enough  to  last  through  life." 

He  speaks  so  st«mly  now,  that  I  am  qtiite  re- 
lieved when  he  continues,  in  a  lighter  tone, 

'•  Since  we  are  to  be  real  friends,  Lois,  you 
must  call  me  Philip." 

*'7eB|  Philip,"  I  answer,  and  then  add 
^MtUji  " Afid  we  ihaU  he  alwunffrieads.  what- 


iCgt  ft^-pirh  ^imeg,  Sm^aBr^jogtist  5,  JL^Tt.-^-Cngle  S^^l 


ev  jr  haiipens,  Philip ;   even  if  we  never  meet 
agiin."  j 

■Jomenow  I  have  a  presentiment  that  after  to- 
da  ^'  we  \ji'on't  see  much  of  each  other  ;  so  I  want 
to  g:o  down  to-  the  river  and  spend  one  more 
pleasant]  morning. 

fVe  lazily  enjoy  ourselves,  discuss  our  favorite 
bo  jks,  ci)mpare  our  ideas  upon  music,  and  I  can 
scarcely  iVelieve  it  is  as  late  as  it  is  when  I  see 
auntie  Approaching  us,  with  the  tidings  that 
luncheoil  has  been  ready  for  more  than  an  hotir, 
an  I  thatjshe  Iuih  come  to  fetch  us  in. 

!twi!w|snch  a  glorious  July  day  when  Philip 
an  I'll  became  Philip  and  Lois  to  each  other, 
th;  It  so  long  as  I  live  it  will  stand  out  in  bold  re- 
lie  I  from  all  others. 

\  Cever  cajn  I  forget  the  golden  glow  of  that 
Summer  time. 


CHAPTER  in. 
"Oh.jfor  the  davs  that  are  past  retrieviogl 
Oh,  forth©  golden  days!" 

'  Ye  have  four  days  of  showery  weather.  Jlr. 
Grahamj  auntie,  and  I  have  been  able  to  go  out 
for  a  drive  three  afternoons,  but  the  fourth  is 
tnv  wet;  so  we  spend  the  afternoon  in  watching 
the  rain,  at  least  Philip  and  I  do,  while  auntie 
wqrks. 

Aunt  Mary  seems  to  have  taken  an  odd  idea 
into  her  Jiead  .since  that  morning  she  fetclied  us 
in  to  limeheon.  I  verily  believe  she  thinks 
Pk  ijlip  i^  making  love  to  me,  or  that  1  am  falling 
in  love  ^vith  him  ;  for  she  never  leaves  us  a  mo- 
nu  lit  alone,  and  interrupts  all  our  conversations. 
If  t|ns  ansurd  notion  has  really  taken  posses- 
sion of  her  mind,  all  our  free  intercourse  is  at 
an  end ;  jfor  she  would  never  encourage  auy- 
thi  rig  of  kUis  sort  without  directions  from  head- 
([Uijrtersj  or,  in  otlier  words,  mother's  consent. 
1  t  laiink  if  she  knew  that  notliing  was  furtKer 
frt  m  our  minds,  and  that  we  were  only  friends, 
sho]mlgl:  t  relax  her  vigilance ;  but  I  do  not  care 
to  ^peaktoiher  on  the  .subject,  and  feel  I  would 
rather  n^t  enjoy  any  more  rambles  with  Philip 
thun  tell  any  one  of  our  compact  of  friendship. 
It  ils  ven,-  hard,  for  he  will  leave  Coolmory  to- 
m<  rrojw  i  so  that  unless  auntie  ceases  her  vigi- 
lai  t  watch  at  the  party  which  takes  place  to- 

:^t,,  we  shall  not  have  any  time  together. 

At  going  away  Philip  asks  me  to  keep  him 
some  dahces.  and  I  promise  to  do  so;  but  even 
her  J  auntie  interrupts,  and  says: 

1'LoLsjdear,  I  don't  .wish  you  to  dance  more 
thiiu  two  dances  with  any  one.  as  people  in  the 
con: itty  talk  about  everything;"  and,  turning 
to  f  hiifijj,  she  proceeds  to  say: 

'*  I  don't  want  my  niece  to  lay  herself  open 
to  criticism;  she  shall  dancre  twice  with  you, 
Mr.]  Graham." 

Philip  bows  his  thanks,  but  looks  disap- 
pomted.  At  the  party  Aunt  Mary  introduces 
evm- una  ^o  me.  and  before  Philip  can  get  to 
m^ my  programme  is  nearly  full;  but  I  have 
kept  his  tw[o  dance^^.  The  first  is  a  quadrille. 
Adiitie  'lances  opposite  to  us,  and  directly  it  is 
ovi>l-  she  takes  mc  off  to  introduce  me  to 
sonie  old  |  lady  v.-ho  knows  my  father. 
I  don'fl  know  any  of  my  partners,  and 
I  (ijontjcare  to.  datice  with  any  one;  but 
I  g|j  through  all  the  dances  in  a  mechanical 
way.  and  Ket  no  pleasure  out  of  thenL  I  notice 
that  Philip  does  not  dance,  and  that  ever}-  time 
I  ll)Ok  at|him  he  is  looking  at  nie. 

At  length  our  waltz  arrives.  The  music  seems 
herier.  ahd  the  liirht  more  hrUliant.  directly  I 
fetil  Philip's  arm  round  me,  as  we  slide  off  into 
a  dijliciousjswimring  step. 

I'jThis  i.'^  nearly  as  pleasant  as  sitting  bv  the 
rivtir.  Philip,  don't  you  think  I"  1  ask  ;  but  he 
ausivers,    i 

"I  tvoiild  give  anything  I  have  for  one  half- 
hodr  witih  vou  alone.  Lois,  down  by  the  river." 

'■jit  would  bo  very  nice.  Philip  ;  but  we  shall 
nTjcrigo  there  again,"  I  murmur;  and  the 
mnjiclmikes  me  loni;  to  be  off  again. 

AText  t  n^e  we  stop  is  by  an  open  window  that 
le:f(  s  to  tihe  garden;  Philip  puts  my  hand 
through  his  arm.  and  leads  me  to  it :  then  he 
bei  is  hi^  he.id  close  to  my  ear.  and  whisp*'rs. 

"Lois  come  out  in  the  garden,  and  decide 
ni"  fate  il'or  me." 

l.^e  luojk:S  at  me  so  tenderly  and  eagerly  that 
1  SL-:-  in  lliat  moment  that  his  friendship  for  me 
ha*jtiilrn[.'d]  to  love,  and  1  feel  that  I  cannot  re- 
tUi-ii  jjt.  iin^l  ditru  not  answer  him. 

"  L^)ij'  won't  you  come  out  f  Do.  darling. 
fru'J  inust  tell  you  that  1  love  you,  and  hear 
that  yjou  hive  me." 

J  do]  not  know  what  to  say  ;  he  is  my  friend, 
anj^lj  1  hm  s)  fond  of  him  that  I  do  not  wish  lo 
hum  him  :  yet  1  cannot  give  him  the  answer  he 
wi-;(iei(t^  hear,  for  I  do  not  love  him.  I  am 
Ir}  ijn,:^  u\  frami*  a  reply  when  auntie  comes  up 
to  lis  linti  teLis  nie  it  is  time  to  leave.  1  answer 
huriri«kli-: 

'•\>s.J  auntie,  I  will  get  my  cloak:"  and 
I  LikOjPJiiiiip  a  look  to  follow  me  :  Imt  Aunt 
J^l;t]  y  j  has  i?heckmated  me  here,  for  she  hands 
m.|  mv  %'iTap.  and  then  Uxk*'^  Philip's  arm.  As 
lieiimts  mo  in  tho  cnrrJagt;  he  says: 

'•  \V1ri5e  nie  an  answer  in  time  to  let  me  come 
and  ■j'-e'  >iou  to-moirow,  before  I  leave  Cool- 
mi>rv.' 

I  uu(d  absent,  then  lean  back,  c^ver  my  head 
ove ".  ^nd  pretend  to  be  asleep.  Why  uoiUd  not 
not  Philip  liave  remainud  my  friend  f  ^\'hy 
doe  i  he  want  so  much  more  than  I  can  give  i 

WhHi  I  get  to  my  own  room  I  take  t»ur  my 
desc  rind  write  a  letter  to  Philip.  I  want  it  to 
be  I.icid  and  friendly;  but'!  wish  him  to  under- 
staid  ll  liave  no  love  to  give  in  return  for  his. 
Fir  t.Iwjritw  a  long  letter,  teli!n<rhim  he  hasmis- 
tak'n  friendship  for  love;  but  I  feel  I  am  wrong- 
inar  hijin  by  such  a  supposition,  so  I  tear  it  up. 
and  wirite  just  what  X  should  have  said  to  him 
had  tiimti  u!Iov.-t*d  : 

Lk-'iK  Pjiil.ii':  Forgive  me  if  I  have  ever 
led  you  to  believe  my  atTection  for  you  was  any 
oth  ;rjthan  that  of  friendship.  I  am  so  .sorr'y 
iha :  \]ou  love  me.  for  I  have  no  love  to  offer  you 
in  n-Uirn.  but  shall  always  remain,  dear  Philip, 
yon r  true  friend.  '  Lois. 

P  i|s  broad  dayliijrht  before  T  have  flui^-hed 
thi>  short  epi~tie.  so  I  do  not  attempt  to  go  tt> 
bed,  for  I  seb  it  is  tJ  o'clock,  but  I  chan;re  my 
drj-  -s  and  run  over  to  the  rectory  with  ray  note". 
i\v\>  ■}  it  into  the  letter-box.  and-  c-et  home  a^ain 
long  befoi-e  auntie  is<lown.  After  breakfast  she 
or  1  -rs  the  carriage  round  and  asks  me  to  go  out 
f o  ■  I  drive  with  hi?r.  1  see  her  reason  ;  she  is 
af]-:  id  Philip  will  come  over  and  that  we  shall 
go  <rut  for  a  walk.  I  know  that  he  mil  not,  so  I 
asRut  readily.  As  we  are  on  the  way  home  wo 
meet  the  rectory  carriaire  returning  from  the 
stMion,  and  I  know  that  Philip  Graham  has 
go  tie.  I  am  vu-ry  v.ear}*.  and  go  to  1  ted 
ea,  •  y.  Auntie  wonders  next  day  whv  Philip 
does  not  call,  and  I  tell  her  that  he  ^aa  left 
C'-tlraory.  and  is  going  to  India.  i?he  replies 
thi;  he  mi^hi  have  been  polite  enough  to  have 
cji  ledl  to  s.iy  good-bye ;  and  then  severely  cen- 
suses! him  for  his  inattention.  This  I  cannot 
hi-i|r,  for  I  am  very  fond  of  Philip,  and  I  will 
UGt  hear  a  word  against  him.  I  feel  weak  and 
h}siencal,  and  burst  out  crying  in  a  foolish 
v.ai  ;  khen  rush  out  of  the  house  down  to  the 
river,  j  where  we  liad  so  often  beeu  together.  1 
thr)wj  myself  down  on  the  gniss  and  have  a 
gfAidcry:  then  wander  :ibout  to  all  the  places 
whrre  1  had  beeu  so  happy,  and  remember 
e\]ery]  word  that  Philip  said,  and  everything 
tliajt'li  hid  done,  even  to  my  romp  in  the  clover 

tie  same,  but  the  country 
its  charm.  The  sim  is  just 
ight,  the  grass  just  as  green,  th©  river 
just  as  rippling:  but-'^^-ant  to  go  home.  lam 
longing  to  see  mother  and  tho  girls,  and  to  have 
nd  'lime  or  oppoilunity  to  think  of  the  past 
month.  1 1  am  pining  for  change,  for  nothing 
seejusj  pleasant  to  me  at  Coolmory  now ;  but 
most  of  all  1  am  longing  to  see  Philip  again.  If 
I  tjould  ^nly  see  him  dowu  by  the  river  once 
mple,  only  have  time  to  tell  him  that  my  letter

^jliajvo  been  home  some  months  now,  and 
cvL'|*ythin^  is  tho  same  as  ever.    Mother  is  just 

liu.-^y  about  getting  us  married  as  she  was  last 
season,  tnly  that  she  seems  to  have  given  me  up 
all  dgejtherj  and  I  am  allowed  to  accept  or  refuse 
in  ritaitious  at  my  own  sweetwill.  "We  spent  the 
Aiitmun  ajt  a  semi-fashionable  watering-place, 
anil  ijnal^  some  hew  acquaintances — among 
oi.  lers  a  Mr.  Jerome  Beauchamp,  who  is  very 
ati  entivti  to  ns  all.  Mother  has  great  hopes  of 
h\k  ultimately  i»aking  one  of  us  lUrs.  Jerome 
Beauehamp ;  but  I  have  my  doubts  on  the  sub- 
ject, iind  look  upon  him  as  quite  a  confirmed 
old'ibaich^dor.  He  is  an  amusing,  clever  man, 
and  di)e3  not  bore  me  in  the  least,  consequently 
we  ?et  on  very  well  together. 

I  h^vej  nbver  told  an\'  one  about  Philip  Gra-

Recently  somo  thb^isiinds  h  of  people  were 
rendered  houseless  by  a  terrific  conflagration 
almost  in  the  heart  bf  tjhe  city.  The  fixe  was

of  London  was  a  blessing  to  posterity.  New- 
York  has  built  palatial  avenues  on  the  wrecks 
of  her  wooden  houses.  Chicago  rose  phoenix- 
like from  the  flames,  and  challenges  the  world 
for  the  splendor  and  perfection  of  her  public 
and  private  edifices.  Quebec  simply  reconstructs 
on  the  old  lines,  and  does  not  even  regard  the 
safety  of  the  city  in  her  reconstruction-  Lord 
Duiferin  has  pressed  the  Government  to  grant 
money  for  the  purpo.^  of  building  wharves  and 
quays,  to  promote  tho  trade  of  the  city  ;  but  a 
community  that  does  not  help  itself  can  hai-dly 
hope  that  the  General  Government  willshow  any 
ahicrity  in  pushing  its  interests.  "  Half  a  dozen 
English  capitalists,"  I  said  to  a  prominent 
trader,  "  could  make  Quebec  one  of  the  most 
proserous  cities  on .  this  side  of  the  Atlantic." 
"  The  English  won't  settle  here,"  he  replied  ; 
"  they  come,  capitalist  and  laborer,  but  they  do 
not  stay  :  they  e:o  either  to  the  States  or  to 'the 
more  English  tUstrict*  of  Canada.  There  is  no 
chance  here  unless  you  are  a  French  Canadiau 
or  an  earnest  Catholic.  The  lang^uage  of  the 
city  is  French,  the  in.stincts  of  the  people  are 
alien  to  the  Anglo-Saxon."  "  What  will  hap-

Soldiers'  Rations. — Turning  to  the 
British  soldier,  we  find  in  him  the  most  daintily 
fed  of  all  warriors,  unless  it  was  the  Servian  in 
last  year's  war.  If  we  are  to  believe  special  cor- 
respondents, the  rations  of  the  Servian  soldiers 
were  almost  unlimited,  and  furnished  a  strik- 
ing contrast  to  the  fare  of  the  frugal  Turks. 
An  oka,  or  two  and  one-half  pounds,  of  bro^wn 
bread,  half  an  oka  of  fresh  meat,  together  with 
a  niorlicum  of  rice,  meal,  and  paprika  was  the 
daily  ration,  the  last  named  comestible  being 
employed  for  making  soup  ;  the  pot-au-fcu,  so  we 
were  assured,  was  to  bo  found  simmering  in 
camp  from  early  morn  till  noon,  and  then  only 
came  off  to  make  room  for  the  coffee  kettle. 
The  Servian  soldiery,  too,  usually  had  a  ration 
of  spirits  called  slivovitch,  or  plum  brandy, 
allowed  them,  and  yet  withal  they  had 
no  ,  su(di  powers  of  endurance  as  .  tho 
maize-fed      Turks.        In      this      country     a 

soldier's  ration  is  three-quarters  of  a  pound  of 
meat  and  one  pound  of  bread.  wMch  is  supple- 
mented in  war  time  by  a  quarter  of  a  pound  of 
cheese,  together  with  cocoa  or  tea,  sugar,  &c. 
In  the  Crimea  there  was  a  standing  order  that 
hot  tea  should  always  be  kept  ready  when  prac- 
ticable, so  that  the  men  might  partake  of  it  at 
any  time,  and  in  the  Abyssinian  and  Aslmntee 
campaigns  the  camps  were  never  broken  up  of 
a  moriung  before  the  troops  had  been  supplied 
with  a  cup  of  warm  coffee  for  breakfast.  Tea 
and  coffee  exercise  the  same  effect  upon  the* 
system  as  wine  and  spirits,  btit  their  stimula- 
tive action  is  less  marked,  and  our  commanding 
ofiicers  are  enjoined  never  to  issue  a  ration  of 
spirits  except  under  extraordinary  circumstances, 
as  in  the  casi^  of  distressing  marche.s,  or  when 
troops  are  eusraged  in  the  trenches  or  up  at  the 
front.  And  yet,  as  wo  have  said,  with  this  ap- 
parently liberal  feeding,  our  men  do 
not  receive  so  mtich  actual  nourishment 
or  nitrogenous  matter  as  the  German  soldier, 
whose  mainstay  is  the  2-pound  loaf  of  black 
bread  he  receives  daily.  The  meat,  bread, 
sugar.  &c,  received  by  British  .soldiers  in  the 
Crimea  yielded,  we  are  told  by  the  Royal  Com- 
missioners, but  23.52  ounces  of  nutritive 
principle,  while  (rermany  gives  her  soldiers 
;{2.1I0  ounces,  which  is  still  further  increased 
when  the  latter  are  fed  on  suchhiglilv  nitrogen- 
ous diet  as  the  jH-a-saiisage.  TJie  'furks.  poor 
as  their  footl  may  seem  to  ns,  (it  being  bread 
almost  alone.)  prob.ibiy  derive  as  much  nutri- 
numt  from  it  asEnglish  troops  from  their  bread, 
meat,  and  cocoa;  for.  weight  for  weight,  the 
Turkish  rations  contain  more  nitrogenous 
matter.  If.  too.  theii-  meal  is  what  is  termed 
"  whole  flour,"  it  will,'  siuce  itincludesthe  Im.sk,

Scotch  troops,  wo  fajicy.  would  be  little  the 
worse  if  fed  solely  on  porridge  for  a  time.  The 
reader  may  remember  Lord  Elibank's  retort  on 
Dr.  Johnson's  definition  of  oals  as  the  food  of 
horse-iiuEu::Undandof  meuinScotland:  "Yes," 
said  he,  "au'l  where  else  will  vou  find  sut-h 
horses  and  such  menf"  A- growing  soldi<'r, 
hard  at  work  idl  day  at  gutiHlrill,  or  other 
lahorious  work,  does  not  buy  extra  meat  when 
he  is  hungry,  but  foregoes  his  Iwer  at  the  can- 
teen for  another  jtound  loaf,  thus  approaching 
his  diet  very  nearly  to  that  of  the  German  war- 
rior, who,  we  have  shown,  lives  almost  entirely 
un  bread  and  enjoys  the  most  nutritive  fare. 
At  the  same  time  it  linecessarv  to  bear  in  mind 
tliat-  the  conditions  tmder  which  a  man  lives 
must  i^uide  tlie  nature  of  his  food.  A  man  in- 
habiting a  foM  climate  such  as  ours,  ro([uires 
more  animal  f'tod- than  he  would  if  ho  lived  in 
a  country  nearer  the  equator,  and  British 
troops,  we  fear,  would  lose  much  of  their 
energj-  if  U-A  altogether  on  farinaceous  food. 
But.  as  we  have  striven  to  show,  it  Ls  not  al-

soldier  the  greate.st  quantity  of  nutriment. — J\'u-

Gkn.  Cesxola's  Tuol'ules   IX  Cyprus. — 

Thti  peasants  at  Aghois  Photios  secreted  in 
their  houses  a  good  many  statuettes,  but  after 
considenible  inquiry  and  the  exercise  of  tact. 
Gen.  Cesnola  learned  the  names  of  the  thieves 
and  the  nature  of  the  objects  that  had  been 
stolen  by  the  principal  offenders.  He  sum- 
moned one  of  these  men.  and  opened  before  him 
a  cop3'  of  Layard's  JS'ineveh.  a  book  which  has 
many  illustrations.  "  This  book,'"  .said  he, 
gravel}",  "  is  a  book  of  divination.  You  have 
stolen  some  of  my  property.  You  know  it — I 
know  it.  I  win  show  you.  by  means  of  this 
volume,  just  what  you  took."  He  pointed  to  a 
picture  which  resembled  very  nearly  the  object 
which  lie  had  lost,  ami  then  fixed  his 
eyes  upon  the  bewildered  peasant.  "  The 
BlessiHl       Virgin!"        exclaimed  tJio        hit- 

ter ;  "  I  will  get  it  for  you  immediately.'"  And 
off  he  wi'Ut,  retunuiig  in  a  few  minutes  with  the 
missing  piece,  and  apparently  with  the  deepest 
contrition.  Mr.  Layard's  Nineveh  is,  in 
Gun,  Cesiioln's  opinion,  a  most  entertaining  and 
useful  treatise.  If  the  peasants  bothered  the 
explorei*,  certainlj'the  local  authoritii^s  were  not 
less  troublesome.  These  dignitaries  did  not 
know  the  worth  of  tho  General's  acquisitions  in 
Cj^jrus  until  some  of  his  brother  Consuls  told 
them.  Tho  brother  Constils,  not  unnaturally, 
perhaps,  seemed  to  be  very  jealous.  Tliey  in- 
formed the  authorities  that  the  American  Con- 
sul was  appropriating  the  wealth  of  the  land  ; 
that  he  was  digging  up  vast  quantities  of  gold 
and  precious  stones  ;  that  he  hud  .found  count- 
h?ss  and  priceless  works  of  art ;  that  he  was 
enriching  himself  at  the  expense  of  the  country. 
The  noise  of  their  complaints  often  reached  the 
Governor-Generfil  of  the  island  ;  and  nothing 
but  Gen.  Cesuola's  official  position  as  the  ac- 
credited representative  of  the  United  States 
saved  his  labors  from  being  stopped  and  his 
treasures  from  being  confiscated.  Indeed,  his 
jiositiou  needed  constantly  to  be  supple- 
mented by  stratagem.  The  Austrian  Con- 
sul, in  particular,  was  an  active  reporter 
at  head-quarters,  having  had  a  little 
qu.arrel  with  his  American  peer.  For  eight  years 
he  never  called  on  him.  Finding  the  excavated 
objects  accumulating  at  the  American-Consulate, 
and  not  knowing  how  to  store  them  all.  Gen. 
Cesuola  determined  to  ship  GO  boxes  of  them  to 
London.  He  slyly  chartered  a  vessel  that  was 
0  bout  to  return  to  Alexandria,  intending  to  re- 
ship  the  goods  at  that  iK)rt.  The  schooner  hap- 
pened to  bo  an  Austrian  one,  and  in  order  to 
leave  Cnirus  it  was  neces.«ary  to  get  a  bill  of 
lading  from  the  Austrian  ConstUate.  To  that 
consulate  went  Gen.  Cesnola's  servant.  "  What 
are  the  contents  of  these  boxes  J"  inquired  tho 
representative  from  Vienna.  Gen.  Cesnola  had 
entered  the  goods  as  "  private  effects,",  but  his 
servant  stupidly  let  the  cat  out  of  the  bag.  Tho 
Governor-General  was  WTittcn  to  about  the 
matter.  He  informed  Gen.  Cesnola,  that  he 
would  like  to  look  at  the  collection  before  they 
left  the  harbor.  The  General  replied  that  they 
were  private  effects  ;  but  that,  if  the  Governor- 
General  desired  to  see  what  had  been  excavated 
at  CxT^n^.the  desire  should  be  gratifled  at  once. 
Would  the  Governor-General  be  good  enough  to 
call  at  the  American  Consulate,  and  visit  tho 
collection  i  His  Excellerfcy  wrote  that  he  would. 
Meanwhile,  tho  explorer  gathered  a  large  niun- 
ber  of  mutilated  and  headless  figures  which  had 
been  cast  away  as  rubbish,  or  as  too  heavy  for 
transportation,  and  set  them  in  the  rooms  lately 
occupied  by  the  boxed  treasures  that  he  wished 
to  transport.  Along  the  walls  in  nice  order  he 
placed  them ;  and  upon  the  shoulders  of  each 
headless  figure  he  stuck  a  broken  and  valueless 
head  taken  from  the  same  heap  of  rubbish.  It 
mattered  not  to  him  that  fragments  of  women's 
beads  appeared  on  the  bodies  of  men,  and  that 
fragments  of  men's  heads  appeared  on  the 
bodies  of  women.  He  did  tho  best  that  he 
coidd,  and  awaited  the  visit  of  the  Governor-Gene- 
ral. That  functionarj;  soon  came,  clothed  in 
Oriental-dignity,  and  in  the  insignia  of  office, 
and  attended  by  a  numerous  and  imposing 
retinue.  He  traversed  those  rooms  in  state,  ex- 
amined the  wonderfid  sculptures,  oppressed  his 
satisfaction  with  their  noble  artistic  qualities, 
and  his  willingness  to  permit  the  shipment  of 
the  tJO  boxes  of  "  private  effects."  The  story 
somehow  or  other  soon  £ot  sround  T^rnak-  the 


seat  of  the  consulate,  and  is  told  there  to  this 
day  ;  but,  whether  or  not  it  has  reached  the 
august  ears  of  the  Governor-General,  history 
does  not  record. — Appletotia'  Journal. 

Mr.  GiuADSTOJrE  Opposed  to  the  ITi»tra- 
SENTIMENTAL.— Exactly  a  century  ago,  in  the 
year  1777,  a  Mr.  Xacmahon  published  in  Lon- 
don a  work  entitled  Th^.,  Candour  ajtd  Good- 
nature of  Engluihmen  ErempliiUd.  in  tftfir  Delib- 
erate, Cautious,  and  Charitable  ^cay  of  Cliaracter- 
izing  the  Customs,  Manners,  Constitutionj  and 
JieligioH  of  Neiffhhouring  Nations,  of  which  their 
own  Authors  are  Everywhere  Product  as  Vouch- 
ers ;  their  Moderate^  Equitable,  and  Siitnane 
Mode  of  Governing  States  I}ependent  on  thenv,  and 
so  forth.  I  give  a  specimen  of  the  mode  in 
which  the  title  is  developed  in  the  work : 
**  You,  also,  you  harmless  natives  of  the  Empire 
of  Hindostan  and  its  dependencies,  who  are  be- 
come happy  by  falling  under  the  dominion  of  a 
certain  good-natured  European  country,  you,  too, 
I  mean  such  of  you  who  are  not  yet  slaughtered 
or  starved,  wUl  bear  witness  to  the  gentleyieas^ 
aversion  to  famine-creating  monopolies,  ig- 
norance in  the  arts  of  treachery  atul  bar- 
barous rapacity,  of  Englishmen."  The  want  of 
even-handed  justice,  which  this  author  rebtiked 
in  the  nation,  he  may  have  exhibited  himself. 
But  a  genial  tone,  an  equitable  frame  of  mind 
toward  other  cotintries,  is,  perhaps,  not  among 
tho  national  virtues.  Nineteen  hundred  years 
ago  it  was  said,  Visam  Britannos  hospiiibusferos. 
Such  a  tone,  such  a  frame,  as  1  have  named,  is 

certainly  not  characteristic  in  general  of  those 
who  undertake  to  guide  public  opinion  at  its 
centre  in  the  metropolis,  and  who  unhappily  are 
taken  on  the  Continent  of  Europe  as  its  authentic 
and  exclusive  organs.  Some  London  newspapers 
of  very  limited  circulation  will  coolly  inform 
Europe  what  the  British  people  will  do  and  what 
they  \vill*not,  while  3'et  not  one  Englishman  in 
200  is  so  much  as  aware  of  their  existence ;  and 
while  there  are  journals  in  the  coootry.  having 
10  or  20  times  as  many  readers,  which  are 
never  noticed  in  foreign  prints.  Nothing  can 
be  more  absurd,  though  lew  things  are  more 
mischievous,  than  that  the  newspapers  of  the 
toilet  and  the  clubs  should  presimie  to  declare 
the  feelings  of  the  nation.  An  Indian  gentle- 
man writes  to  me,  under  dateJray21.  1877: 
'•  You  have  said  a  great  deal  recently  about  the 
tjrrauny  and  oppression  of  the  Turks  ;  but  what 
will  you  think  or  say.  when  you  hear  about  the 
cruel  treatment  of  the  natives  of  India  by  your 
own  countrymen  I  **  *  Wecannot  complain 
of  the  injustice  that  we  have  been  suffering  from, 
because  omr  mouths  are  closed.*'  Ireland  and 
America  offer  examples  of  countries  whose 
estrangement  from  us  has  been,  in  other  days 
more  than  at  present,  promoted  or  maintained 
by  a  temper  of  suspicion,  arrogance,  censorious- 
ness,  or  contempt.  But  in  no  instance 
that  I  am  aware  of  has  it  been  so  mischiev- 
ously or  so  violently  exhibited,  as  aft  the 
present  juncture  with  respect  to  Kussia.  Jour- 
nals and  men.  and  classes  of  meri;  who  never 
said  a  word  for  Poland  or  for  Hungary  as 
long  as  only  Poland  and  Hungary  were  in 
question,  have  become  ultra -sentimental  and 
super-humanitarian  with  regard  to  the  mis- 
deeds of  Russia,  now  when  Russia  is  engaged, 
from  whatever  motives,  in  the  righteous  and 
noble  work  of  giving  effect  to  the  decisions  of 
united  Europe,  and  of  relieving  the  races  sub- 
ject to  the  Ottoman  Turksf  roru  an  intolerable  and 
most  debasing  oppression.  Nay,  more,  though 
there  is  no  evidence  to  show  that  in  the  cam- 
paign against  the  Yomud  Tartars  the  Russian 
soldiers  took  a  single  life  after  actual  and  very 
sharp  battle  ceased,  the  most  violent  language 
is  used,  not  only  by  the  few  totally  unscrupu- 
lous journalists  to  be  found  here  and  there 
among  us.  but  among  popular  writers  whom  we 
must  crt^t  with  the  most  honorable  inten- 
tions. So.  for  example.  Capt.  Bumaby,  who 
seems  to  have  visited  Khiva  not  until  tlie  third 
year  after  the  Russian  expedition,  gives  a  series 
of  frightful  statements,  and  winds  them  up 
with  the  words,  "hell  was  let  loose  in  Turko- 
mania."  And  yet  he  does  not  so  much  as  quote 
any  authority  whatever.  Indeed,  he  pens  his 
sweeping  denunciation  after  having"  studied" 
the  work  of  MacGahan  on  the  Khivan  campaign, 
which  is  founded  on  personal  experience  atid 
sight,  and  is  diametrically  at  variance  with 
these  statements. — Ron.  W.'  E.  Gladstone  inth^

ScnopEKnAUER  ox  WoME^. — The  ti-ue  vo- 
cation and  the  highest  merit  of  woman  Schopen- 
hauer believes  to  be  embodied  in  the  words  of  a 
French  author:  "Sans  les  femmes,  le  com- 
mencement de  notre  vie  serait  priv^  de  secours, 
le  milieu  de  plaisirs.  et  la  fin  de  consolation." 
"The  verj'appearanceof  the  female  form,"  he  con- 
tinues, "shows  that  woman  is  not  destined  for 
great  intellectual  or  physical  achievements.  She 
pays  the  debt  of  life  not  by  doing  but  by  suffer- 
ing, by  the  pains  of  child-bearing,  by  the  care 
for  her  infant,  and  the  submissiou  to  her  hus- 
band, to  whom  she  ought  to  be  a  patient  and 
cheering  companion."  How  much  soever  such 
an  idea  of  woman's  mission  may  clash  with  mod- 
ern notions  on  the  subject,  it  gives  but  a  mild 
foretaste  of  what  is  to  follow.  Here  is  a  more 
racy  specimen:  "Women  are  so  eminently 
ailapted  to-  tend  and  educate  our  early  in- 
fancy, because  they  themselves-  are  child- 
ish. "  silly,  short-sighted — in  fact,  big  chil- 
dren— ail  their  lives.  They  form  a 
kind  of  intermediate  step  between  the  child  and 
the  man,  who  is  the  representative  of  humanity 
proper.''  We  next  come  to  a  contribution  to 
the  philosophy  of  marriage  worthy  of  Balzac 
himself.  "Mature,"  Schopenhauer  opines,  "in- 
tends girls  for  a  startling  effect  in  a  melodra- 
ma'tic  sense  :  for  that  reason  she  endows  them 
with  abundant  beauty  and  charms,  for  a  few 
years  and  at  the  cost  of  the  remainder  of  their 
lives,  in  order  that  they  may  captivate  the 
fancy  of  man  to  such  a  degree  as  to  induce  him 
to  undertake  the  support  of  their  existence  :  for 
calm  deliberation  would  hardly  be  sufficient 
motive  for  such  a  step.**-  *'  The  more  perfect  a 
thing  is."  we  read  in  another  paragraph,  "  the 
later  and  slower  will  be  its  maturity,  ifan  at- 
tains tho  maturity  of  hLs  intellectual  faculty 
hardly  before  the  2Sth  year ;  woman  at  her 
iJSth  ;  but  then  the  hitter  is  accordingly  of 
the  narrowest  conipa.ss."  That  an  asserter  of 
male  superiority  to  this  degree  should  scorn  the 
idea  of  woman's  rights  and  advocate  her  per- 
petual tutelage  in  matters  of  property,  may 
seem  natural.  But  here  again  we  tread  on  pL-r- 
soual  jjround.  The  improvidence  of  hts  mother, 
which  lost  her  own  and  imminently  endangered 
Schopenhauer's  moderate  competence,  was  one 
of  his  chief  grievances  ag:iinst  her.  and  when 
he  speaks  of  the  extravagance  of  the  sex,  the 
individual  allusion  is  as  obvious  as  in  that  other 
passage  where  he  lays  the  Kxeater  proportion  of 
judicial  perjuries  at  woman's  door,  and  suggests 
that  the  testimony  of  two  men  ought  to  be  tan- 
tamount to  that  ot  double  that  number  of  fe- 
males at  least.  B\it  Schoyenhauer  wotdd  be  the 
last  iK-'rsou  to  admit,  or  eveu  realize 
to  himself,  this  reminiscence  of  a  fair 
though  voluble  plaintiff  iu  a  certain 
lawsuit.  According  to  him,  woman's  want 
of  veracity  is  founded  on  an  eternal  law  of  na- 
ture. What  his  teeth  and  claws  are  to  the  lion, 
his  tusks  to  the  elephant,  his  horns  to  the  bull, 
his  personal  strength  and  his  reason  toman, 
that  to  woman  is  the  gift  of  deception,  given  to 
her  by  nattire  as  her  weapon  of  attack  and'  de- 
fense. "  Hypocrisy,  therefore,  is  natural  to 
her,  and  at  the  command  of  .stupid  and  elevet 
women  alike.  *  **  *  A  wholly  truthful  and 
sincere^  woman  is  for  that  reason  perhaps  im- 
possible." "  The  common  relation  among  men 
IS  mutual  indiff'erence  ;  that  among  women, 
emnit\-.  *  *  *  Even  on  meeting  in  the 
street  they  look  at  each  other  like  Guelphs  and 
Ghibellines  ;  and  on  being  introduced  to  each 
other,  two  women  always  behave  with  more 
visible  stiffness  and  insincerity  than  two  men, 
for  which  reason  compliments  between  women 
sound  much  more  ridiculous  than  between 
men." — 27ic  New  Quarterly  Magazine, 


The  Sailor. — The  sailor  who  goes  long 
voyages  in  sailing-ships,  even  if  married,  is 
practically  a  homeless  and  friendless  man. 
Rare  indeed  are  his  opportunities  of  eid vising 
with  a  counselor  in  a  sphere  superior  to  his 
own,  or  gaining  the  favor  of  a  powerful  patron. 
The  ship-owner  knows  nothing  of  the  seamen  in 
his  employ,  and  no  ties  like  those  that  bind  to- 
gether the  landlord  and  tenant,  the  cottager  and 
the  squire,  can  be  established  between  them. 
Again,  there  is  difficulty  in  giving  to  the  sailor 
a  direct  inducement  to  diligence.  That  is 
done  in  other  employments  by  piece-work. 
The  nature  of  the  occupation  forbids 
the  extension  of  such  a  system  to  the 
sea;  and  thus  the  sailor  is  not  animated 
by  the  incentives  to  vigorous  exertion 
which  exercise  such  a  wholesome  influence  over 
other  classes  of  workmen  in  correcting  the  in- 
dolence which  is  part  of  human  nature.  A 
lesson  may  be  learned  by  contrasting  the  priv- 
ileges of  the  quarter-deck  with  the  disadvan- 
tages of  the  forecastle.  From  time  to  time  the 
iiQu-s-^n^ra  have  been  filled  with  oomtiUintft  of

Die  consequence  of  the  peculiar  circtunstanoe^ 
in  which  they  are  placea.  After  &  weary  vovj

without  a  friend.  unnoticed  by  the 
crowd,  -and  ignorant  of  the  langitage.  Hfl

with  all  the  pleasures  that  ar*?  supposed  to  de^ 
light  the  sailor.  The  ^sequel  is  tmly  too  plainly 
foreshadowed.  After  an  interval  of  a  few  days 
the  unhappy  mariner  returns  to  consciousness, 
only  to  find  his  pockets  empty  and  hi^*  brain

which  he  has  never  seen,  for  av»>yag«?the  na-

ing  sun,  up  to  the  very  galtes  of  the  fine  ol 
schloss,  turreted  and  castellated  like  most 
these  mediJBval  baronial  niansious,  but  shorn 
its  ancient  glory,  inhabited  no  longer  by  a  proud 
and  lawless  baron,  with  his  handful  of  armed  re4 
tainers  lording  it  over  the  peasantry-,  but  by  iJ 
simple  farmer,  himself  little  above  the  ordinary^ 
peasant,  yet  by  frugality  and  industry  rapidlyj 
rising  to  wealth,  au<l  consequently  to  jww^r.j 
Every  inch  of  ground  seemed  turned  to  good 
account ;  com  waving  here,  hay-making  there  ;j 
acres  of  trellised  vines  laden  with  unripd 
clusters,  orchards  of  pears  aud  chestnuts,  and 
everywhere  hedges  about  five  feet  high,  ueatlyj 
trimmed,*  with  nere  and  tlie  re  a  small  whii*^ 
berry  resembling  a  raypberry.  From  thrt«! 
hedges  women  were  diligently  picking  tlni 
leaves,  and  with  them  filliinx  those  huge  bas^ 
kets  with  which  Tyrolean  women  toil  patientlvi 
up  their  native  mountains,  bearing  loads  wliichj 
our  laborers  woidd  reject  as  too  heavy.  Tha 
utility  of  this  seemingly  useh-^ss  labcpr  wo  were 
soon  to  learn,  for  our  f  rintls  informed  us  thatj 
the  enterprising  proprietor  had  added  to  tha 
le^tii^te  operations  of  an  ordinary  farm  thq 
ctdture  of  silk-womis.  That  lie  had  sent  to  Italy 
for  women  skille*!  in  the  management  of  th»ij 
silk-worm,  and  had  already  begun  to  realize  coa-j 
siderable  profit  from  liis  novf  I  venture.  I'p<»n 
our  request-  to  be  allowed;  to  see  the  objL-ct'i 
of  his  care,  we  were  courteously  conducted! 
to  a  large  partially  darkened  room,  fittetl  uji 
with  a  double  row  of  slielves  in  tlie  rentrei 
like  those  used  in  many  larmhnuses  for  th^ 
storage  of  cheese.  On  lirst  entering  the  roor' 
our  ears  were  assailed  by  a  inistliug  noise  as  ol 
much  munching,  reminding  us  of  the  ncconur! 
we  had  read  of  anamiy  <»f  locusis.  aud  as  oui 
eyes  Iwcame  accustomed  to  ihe  subdued  licrht  w 
found  that  the  noise  proceeii*^d  from  a  multilud^ 
which  I  think  might  be  counted  fey  many  tboui 
sands,  if  notmilUons.  of  cateriJillars,  in  man>f 
stages  of  growth,  whose  voracious  apjV^titwi 
were  satisfied  by  the  huge  >t:iskets  of  leave4 
culled  from  the  hedges  of  white  miiiberrj*  whicH 
we  had  seen :  and  in  this  w«jrk  alone  four 
women  were  constantly  employed.  The  shelves^ 
which  were  light  and  inovable,  and  stirrounde<i 
by  a  narrow  ledge,  were  taken  off  in  rotationj 
the  dr\'  partially  consumed  haves,  with  sueh 
luckless  individuals  as  adhensl  to  tht* ni.  bein^ 
shaken  into  an  emptv  basket,  and  the  -vigoroiw 
worms  ."Supplied  with^resh  leaves  «cveraltimesri 
day.  We  had  supposed  that  this  refuse  wotild  In* 
thrown  aside  as  useless  rubbish  afu-r  the  worms 
had  been  carefully  picked  fnun  it.  but  we  werd 
told,  on  the  contrary,  that  this  maissof  withenHi 
leaves  formed  excellent  litter  for  the  cattle,  w^licf 
ate  what  they  chose,  treadinir  the  rest  undeaf 
foot  for  mauure :  and  as  for  the  f»'W  worni^  mU 
hering  to  the  refuse,  the  fact  of  tlieir  doing  <<i 
proved  them  to  be  weak  and  unhealthy,  aufl 
therefore  useless :  so  they  wt-re  consigned  t'* 
their  doom  to  be  trodden  to  death  by  the  cattleJ 
Having  examined  the  worms  in  all  their  varioui^ 
stages,  from  the  tiny  recently  hatched  to  the 
great  ugly-looking  cretitures  as  large  as  al 
finger,  just  ready  to  spin,  we  were  shown  into 
another  room  tilled  wiili  branches  of  trees 
upon  which  tho  more  ad vtvuced  .worms  wera 
busy  spinning  llieir  coco<ins.  Solue  of  thesU 
are  carefully  selected  and  res*.T\-ed  for  a  supplw 
of  eggs  for  the  next  vear.  while  the  remaiudeif 
are  wound  off  for  silV.  the  nioihs  ilius  trealeil 
being,  I  believe,  generally  killed  by  the  processj 
or  too  much  injured  by  the  necessary  immersioa 
in  hot  water  to  be  depended  upon  for  fertila 
eggs.  In  yet  another  room  lay  the  rich  pro-t 
duce  of  the  previous  year,  great  nijisses  of  rich 
creamy  silk,  ready  for  deliver)*  to  the  merchant^ 
to  be  caixled  and  spun,  and  prepared  by  many 
processes  for  the  maiiufa-'turer.  The  manner  iu 
which  the  worms  are  reared  and  manag(-d  iii 
this  Tyrolean  schlonx  is  strictly  analogous  tothac 
employed  in  China,  and  is.  doubtless,  that 
which  has  beeu  found  by  exp»?rienf'e  to  b*i 
the  most  simpl; 
we  learn  from 
The  worms  are 

one  above  the  other,  and  only  differ  from  ihosd 
we  have  been  describing  in  bein^^  placed  iu 
round  bamboo  sieves  upon  these  shelves.  Then, 
again,  we  learn  that  "the  tn-vs,  or  rathetj 
bushes,  of  white  mullierry.  are  phmted  iu  row?^ 
on  the  banks  of  canals,  and  not  all'iwed  to  grovr 
more  thau  from  four  to  sLx  feet  in  height.  Th« 
natives  cut  all  the  young  shoots  off  cluse  to  the 
stump,  and  the  leaves  are  slrippL-d  from  thesean-l 
taken  home.  The  Chinese  iseem  ver)'  particuhu: 
in  stirring  up  the  earth  rounil  the  roots  as  soon 
as  the  young  branches  autl  leaves  have  beea^ 
stripped' from  thent.''  Now,  one  of  the  greatest! 
obstacles  to  the  aucfe^-sful  reaiiuir  *'C  silk-worxu-* 
in  England  Is.  undoubtedly,  the  baekwardues* 
of  the  mulberr,'  tree.  The  wmnis  aru 
hatched  before  their  uatunil  Utod  is  ready 
for  their  con«^umption  ;  n^sort  is  then  had  to 
the  lettuce ;  but  exiK-rience  Ims  i>n»v»,-d  Uiat 
altliough  tlie  younii:  worms  will  ivadily  i-ut 
lettuce,  yet  they  do  not  thrive  upon  it ;  tli^a

commodity.  At  a  convention  of  the  stove  trade 
last  year  (1S76)  in  St.  Louis,  it  was  also 
officially  reported,  that  under  what  may  be 
called  .a  hnalihy  trade  there  was  at  lea.st  33  per 
cent,  jrnjater  present  capacity  for  making;  stoves 
in  the  L'uited  States  than  the  country  requires  ; 
and  that  three  raen  now,  with  the  aid  of 
machinery,  can  produce  as  many  stove»  as  six 
men  unaided  could  have  done  in  1860.  i  In  the 
manufacture  of  straw  (roods,  300  handsl  in  one 
of  the  largest  factories  in  Xew-EnKland  do 
more  with  the  .sewing-machine  than  what  a  com- 
paratively few  years  ago  re<iuired  a  thonsand  to

liand :  and  the  steam-press  turns  off  four  hats  to 
the  minute,  in  place  of  the  old  rate  of  oiie  hat  to 
four  minutes.  Similar  results,  derived  from 
consideration  of  our  industries  as  a  whole,  are 
also  given  in  the  last  national  census,  which 
shows  that  while  the  increase  i^  population  in 
the  ITnited  States  from  ISOO  to  18/0  was  less 
than  23  per  cent.,  the  gain  in  the  product  of  our 
so-called  manufacturing  indn.strics  during  the

A  VETEB.\:r  AND  HIS  Ct-E. — The  order  in 
ISOl  to  cTit  off  their  hair,  issued  by  Brig.- 
Geu.  James  Wilkinson,  then  General-in- 
Cluef,  caused  great  indignation  amongjthe  vet- 
eran oBBc-rs,  who  looked  tipon  it  as  a 'i  French 
innovat?on."  It  was  as  follows:  "  Foir  the  ac- 
commedation,  comfort,  and  health  of  the  troops, 
the  lif.ir  is  to  be  cropped  without  exception,  and 
the  ("reneral  will  give  the  example."  This  was 
followed  by  another,  r^-hich  Said:  "Whis- 
kers and  snort  hair  1^4- Record  ;  they  will  not, 
tl»  .'refore,  be  permitted  t<^  extend  lower  than  the 
l»jttom  of  the  ear.  The  Ifess  hair  about  a  soldier's 
t  ead,  tho  neater  and  peaner  will  he  be."  Of 
'the.se  orders,  the  first,  ^9  to  cropping  the  hair, 
is  still  in  force.  Tho  second,  as  to  wearing 
whiskers  dn  any  other  manner  than  thus  pre- 
scribed, was  not  rescinded  until  1S53  :  and 
then  it  was  prescribed  and  still  is 
the  regulation  that  *'  the  beard  may  be  worn  at 
tbe  pleasure  of  the  individiuil,  but  must  be  kept 
»lv»rt  and  neatly  trimrae*!."  For  the  Corps  of 
OfMlata  th«ra  i*  still   iba   regulation,  wliich  ia 


strictly  enforced,  that,  "  the  hair  is  to  be  shortj 
or  what  is  generally  termed  cropped;  whiskers 
and  mustaches  shall  not  be  worn.'.'  In  1801 
there  was  an  old  and  distinguished  officer, 
Lieut-Col.  "Thomas  Butler,  commanditg  Mie 
Second  Kegular  Infantry,  who  ha<l  entei^d  the 
Second  Pennsylvania  Infantiy  as  a  First  L^eur 
tenant  in  177t>  (St,  Clair's  Regiment,  Jan.  [5,) 
served  through  that  war  -with  honor  h^en 
wounded,  and  agairi  twice  wotinded  in  St.  Clajir'j 
defeat  in  1791.  H^  solemnly  declared  he  would 
not  cut  off  his  much  prized  cue.  Gen.  "V  rilkinj 
son  did  not  theii  press  the  matter,  but  issued 
the  following  br'der :  •'  Lieut.-Col.  Oomman-^ 
dant  Butler,  at j  bis  particular  request,  and|  iil 
consideration  of  liis  infirm  health,  has  jierntisl 
sion  to  wear  his  hair.  On  the  subject  ^  )f  this 
measure  the  General  will  brietlly  observe  tlia^ 
it  has  been  sanctioned  in  America  by  th|e  tirst 
military  characters  of  tho  British  and  Amerif 
can  Armies :  that  it  has  been  recommended  |  h^ 
the  ablest  Generals  who  have  lived,  and  has 
been  adopted  by  the  best  troops  in  the  world^ 
and  that  the  cut  of  the  hair  is  as  essential  a 
part  of  military'  uniform  as  tho  cut  of  the 
coat  or  color  |of  the  facings."  Afterwartl 
Wilkinson  withdrew  the  indulgence,  and.  a^ 
Col.  Butler  persisted  in  a  cue,  he  sent  htmj  iii 
1S03,  before  a  general  court-martial  of  his 
own  appointment,  on  this,  for  disobedienjce  j  of 
orders  and  othjer  matters.  He  was  acquitletl 
of  the  other  charges,  but  sentenced  tp  |be 
reprimanded,  ^hich  gavo  Wilkinson  an  pp| 
portunity  to  iudulire  in  invective  and;  Sar- 
casm, aud  to  again  order  Col.  Butler  to  cut  ;  off 
Ids  hair.  The' latter,  in  a 'personal  interview, 
refused,  (Wilkiison  to  Secretary  of  War,|W(»sh- 
ington  Oct,  '2o[  1804,  War  Departmend  files, 
and  having  gone  to  New-Orleans  and  assuihetL 
command,  comnaitted  anew  the  breach  of  orders. 
At  this  time,  an  artillery  officer,  writing  boine, 
-said  :  "  Col.  Butler  wears  his  hair  and  is|  deter- 
mined not  to  cjat  it  off."    (New-Orleans,  Nov.

regeneration  of  Bulgaria  is  already  begun  on 
the  principles  which  have  long  prevailed  i  in 
Poland,  The  Mtissulman  land-owners  are  to  be 
even  more  completely  expropriated  than  the 
Polish  nobility  ;  aud  they  will  also  be  expelled 
from  tbi.'ir  native  country.  The  Bulgarian 
Christians  will  probably  be  disappointed  if  they 
exi)eci  to  receive  a  free  gift  of  tho  confiscated 
bmds.  The  Rn.ssians  have  heavy  expeniios  to 
recoup,  aud  the  estates  from  which  the  (Vwhers 
are  expelled  will  probably  be  sold  to  native  pur- 
chasers to  defray  a  portion  of  the  cost  df  the 
campaign.  No  precedent  can  be  found  tor  so

hammedan and  Christian  populations  has  often 
been  recognized  ;  but  it  was  not  foreseen  that  the 
knot  would  Ije  cut  without  scruple  by  Russia. 
The  definitive  character  of  the  proposed  con- 
quest is  shown  by  the  order  that  all  official  busi- 
ne.ss  shall  be  transacted  in  the  Russian  lan- 
guage. The  Bulgarians  perhaps  by  this  time 
understand  the  moaning  of  disinterested  liber-

FDfLAXD.  —  Finland,  which,  rightly 
handled,  might  be  one  of  the  Czar's  richest  pos- 
sessions, is  now,  after  nearly  70  years' occupa- 
tion, as  unprofitable  as  ever.  Throughout  the 
whole  province  there  are  only  398  miles  of  rail- 
way. Post-roads,  scarce  enough  in  the  South, 
are  absolutely  wanting  in  the  North.  Steam 
navigation  on  the  Gulf  of  Bothnia  extends  only 
to  Uleaborg.  and  is,  so  far  as  I  can  learn,  ac- 
tually non-esLstent  on  the  great  lakes,  except 
between  Tanasthuus  and  Tammerfors.  Such  is 
the  state  of  a  land  containing  boundless  water- 
power,  countless  acres  of  fine  timber,  conntless 
ship-loads  of  splendid  granite.  But  what  can 
be  expected  of  an  untaught  population 
under  2.000,000  left  to  themselves  in 
an  unreclaimed  country  nearly  as  largo 
as  France?  Helsingfors  can  now  be 
reached  from  St.  Petersbug,  via  Viborg,  in 
Idio  hours ;  but  what  is  one  such  line  to 
the  boundle.ss  eniptiness  of  Finland  I  The  fear- 
ful lesson  of  iHVtQ  will  not  be  easily  forgotten, 
when  all  the  horrors  of  famine  were  let  loose  at 
once  upon  the  nnliappy  province.  Seed-corn 
was  exhausted ;  bread  became  dear,  dearer  still, 
and  then  failed  altogether.  Men,  women,  and 
children  struggling  over  snowy  moors  and 
frozen  takes  toward  the  distant  towns  in  which 
lay  their  only  chance  of  life,  dropped  one  by 
one  on  the  long  march  of  de.ith,  and  were  de- 
voured ere  they  were  cold  by  the  pursuing 
wolves.  Nor  did  tho  survivors  fai-e  much  bet- 
ter ;  some  reached  the  haven  of  refuge  only  to 
fall  dead  in  its  very  streets.  Others  gorged 
themselves  with  unwholesome  food,  and  died 
with  it  in  their  mouth.s.  Fields  h*ing  waste; 
villages  dispeople<l;  private  houses  turned 
into  hospitals;  fever- parched  skeletons  tot- 
tering from  the  doors  of  overcrowded 
asylums ;  children  wandering  about  *  in 
gaunt  and  .  scjualid  nakedness ;  crowds 
of  men,  frenzied  by  prolonged  misery,  and  ripe 
forany  outrage,  roaming  the  streets  night  and 
day — such  were  tho  rfcones  enacted  throuKhout 
the  length  of  Finland  during  two  months  and  a 
half.  But  better  days  are  now  dawning  on  the 
afflicted  land.  Roads  and  railways  are  being 
pushed  forward  into  the  interior," and  the  ill- 
judged  attempts  formerly  made  to  Russianize 
the  population  have  given  place  to  a  more  con- 
cili:itory  pijlicy.  Loeturos  are  being  delivered 
at  IIeIsinfrf"ors.  and  extracts  from  native  works 
read,  in  the  aboriginal  tongue;  that  it  is  being 
treated  with  special  attention  in  the  great 
schools  of  Southern  Finland ;  that  there  has 
even  been  .some  talk  of  dramatic  representa- 
tions in  Finnish  at  the  Helsingfors  theatre. 
Such  a  policy  is  at  ouco  prudent  and  generous, 
and  far  betti^r  e:ilculate<l  to  biml  together  the 
heterogeneous  races  of  the  empire  than  that  ab-

A  Greek  Easter. — As  my  visit  to  the 
Troad  was  during  tho  Greek  Easter,  it  may  be 
worth  while  giving  a  very  slight  account  of 
some  of  the  ceremonies.  At  the  village  of 
Kalifatii  all  the  people  collected  in  the  church 
shortly  after  midnight  on  the  morning  of 
Easter  Sunday.  Men,  wom-.;n.  and  children 
were  there  with  lighted  caudle.s,  and  at  first 
the  ceremony  beg:in  in  tho  porch,  wher©'  the 
priest  was  reading  the  service  from  a  book 
placed  in  a  tempt»rar>-  desk.  Tho  men  were 
firing  guns  and  pistols,  and  in  an  open  space  in 
front  of  the  church  an  immense  pile  of  brush- 
wovid  had  been  collected  ;  this  was  set  firo  to. 
aiid  as  it  blazed  away  rapidly,  a  dark  object  ap- 
peared in  the  miildlo  of  the  mass  of  flame.  It 
proveil  to  be  a  cross  with  a  figure  upon  it.  and 
this  figure  was  .Tud.is  Iscariot.  Thf*  people  then 
entered  the  church,  where  the  service  wjis  con- 
tinued till  an  early  hour  in  the  morning.  There 
is  one  part  of  the  ceremony  which  I  regret  I  did 
uitt  witness,  but.  according  to  description,  it 
consists  in  breaking  tbe  E;tstor  eggs.  Quanti- 
ties are  dyed  red  and  boileil  very  hard  ;  a  plate- 
ful was  laid  as  a  separate  dish  at  our  breakfast

The  American-  .Tewisii  Hotel  Question. 
— It  is  quito  natural  and  proper  that  the  Ameri- 
can Jews  should  resfrnt  con'luet  so  mean 
and  so  silly  that  it  injures  tho  people  who  offer 
mucii  more  than  those  who  receive  the  insult. 
American  .attempts  at  establishing  some  sort  of 
aristociracy  have  always  been  amusing  and  in- 
structive. Human  nature  revolts  against  theo- 
retical etpiality,  and  seeks  in  every  direction  for 
some  difference,  some  superiority,  in  which  to 
rejoice.  Every  one  h;is  met  Americans  of  sense, 
of  good  manners,  and  education,  but  they  are 
not  the  people  who  are  always  trying  to  invent 
an  aristocracy.  They  are  in  no  danger  of  being 
mistaken  for  purse-proud  adventurers,  ai:d  it 
never  occurs  to  them  to  a.ssert  that  equality 
with  European  society  which  is  naturally  ac- 
knowledged without  doubt  or  hesitation. 
It  is  people  lately  enricheil  by  trade,  and 
still  reveling  in  the  freshness  of  luxury,  who 
wish  to  be  thouglit  bett«T  than  their  equals,  and 
find  a  difii'-'ulty  iu  proving  that  they  arx?  not 
even  as  other  successful  dealers  in  shoddy  or 
dabblers  in  stock.-n.  It  is  often  easy  for  them, 
however,  to  prove  to  demonstration  that  they 
do  not  belong  Ui  the  most  ancient  of  existing 
races.  As  they  must  be  exclusive,  if  they  are 
to  enjoy  themselves,  they  try  to  exclude  Jews 
from  the  inns  in  which  their  women  dress  some 
six  or  seven  times  a  day,  and  display  their  silks 
and  diamonds.  The  Constitution  of  the  United 
States,  not  foreseeing  this  freak  of  fashion,  but 
moved  by  other  cau.st!S,  has  made  this  kind  of 
aristocratic  reserve  an  offense  against  law.  It 
must  be  painful  to  many  snobs  to  belong  to  a 
country  where  la<lies  cannot  be  what  they  call 
select  \\ithout  obliging  innkeepers  to  incur  tines 
and  imprisonment. — iiaturda^j  Rtvieiv.

State. — Of  all  her  Majesty's  principal  Minis- 
ters of  State,  none  are  so  much  .solicited  by  re- 
quests to  receive  deputations,  and  by  general 
correspondence  of  an  inde.scribably  miscellane- 
ous character,  as  tlie  Chancellor  of  the  Excheq- 
uer and  the  Secretary  ..of  the  Home  Depart-

most  useful  and  suggestive-  received  in'  Down-

are  certain  facts,  certain  exceptional  conditions 
prevailing  in  particular  districts,  which  have 
somehow  been  ignored.  Theso  are  fonnaUy

neither  at|the  Home  Office  nor  the  Treasury  are 
the  letters  of  impracticable  crotcheteers  and 
vain  and '  pragmatic  hobbyists  unknown.  If 
preposterous  pronosals  and  utterly  impractica-

of  these  I  as  they  l>etokeu  corresponding 
changes  in  modes  of  thought,  in  taste, 
habits,  social  con<Utiun,  occupations,  nur- 
suits,  and  even  morals  and  religion. 
The  passing  from  populai  favor  of  the  massive 
folio  formjs  of  the  fifteenth  aud  sixteenth  cen- 
turies, for  example,  is  deeply  signili«-a,ut.  It 
tells  of  gr^at  mental  and  social  movements.  It 
is  a  chapterin  the  symbolic  history  of  the  human 
mind.  N'ot  less  wouhl  the  inlei*est  be  to  a  stu- 
dent of  alterations  in  fashion  as  to  the  various 
classes  of  |iterature.  As  these  have  come  into 
demand  by  turn,  or  have  alternately  gaiijed  and 
lost  their  i»old  on  the  public  mind,  they  have 
served  to  mark  shitting  phases  oi  intellectual 
and  soidal  life,  as  may  be  seen  on  drawing 
parallels  between  tho  times  v.-hen  Milton's 
poetiy  could  scarcely  find  a  market,  and  those 
iu  whl^h  the  reading  nndtitudo  seem 
incapabl^  of  being  wearied  by  new

tions  of  intellectual  fashion,  which  may  h^i 
taken  as  deeply  significant  of  progressive 
change  In  the  character  of  liuman  tbyu^ht, 
principleil  and  feeliug.  Biog:-auhy  has  always 
held  »   aiich  itlace  in  the  esteem  of   th^  few 


whose  taste  and  intellectual  vigor  have  proved 
comparatively  independent  of  the  more 
changeable  fancies  of  the  popular  mind ; 
while  from  the  beginning  it  has,  now 
and  then,  secured  for  itself  a  pe- 
riod of  command  oven  over  the  reading 
multitude.  This  has  been  owing  partly,  per- 
haps, to  tho  fact  that  it  has  brought  before  the 
attention  of  the  many  tlie  persons,  character, 
doings,  .and  habits,  the  private  as  well  as  public 
life  of  the  distinguished  few.  Biography  has 
been  popular  because  it  has  gratified  the  vulgar 
curiositv  by  unveiling  the  idols  which  liave 
been  mysterious  objects  of  tbe  world's  wondi>r, 
and  whose  mere  names  the  crowd  still  delights 
to  honor.  So  it  wa,s,  and  to  some  extent  still  is, 
with  what  has  been  calle<l  classic  biography, 
produced  by  the  few  authors  whose  names  re- 
main among  the  leaders  of  profane  litera- 
ture at  the  opening  of  tbe  Christian  era.  These 
biographers  have  intrinsic  merits  which  keep 
their  names  alive  irrespective  of  the  position 
and  character  of  those  whose  lives  they  .sketch  : 
though  too  many  of  their  sketches  have  their 
chief  attractions  in  .sensational  exhibitions  of 
splendid  vice. — The  Loudon  Qnartfrlt/  Jieview,

TnK  CoM.MOxiq.ACf:  in  Literature.— 
■While  some  remove  from  the  commonplace  is 
necessary  to  make  g.iod  literary  material  of  a 
rharacler,  it  is  not  certain  that  there  is  any  such 
restriction  as  to  incidents.  Cnusual  incidents 
are  more  likely  to  bo  the  worst  rather  tlian  the 
be.st.  This  is  a  question  of  treatment  and  of 
genius.  A  true  author  makes  more  of  his  hero 
eiiting  his  breakfast  of  "ueefsteak  atid  potatoes 
than  a  bungler  of  bis  scaling  precipices  lo  res- 
cut?  Augidina  from  brigaud-s.  The  question  of 
gc-idus.  indeed,  when  one  thinks  of  it.  modi- 
lie.-:  the  definition  of  the  commonplace  to 
.such  an  extfUt  that  it  is  hardly  safe  to  assert 
that  there  is-  any  material  not  tit  for  literary 
use.  The  genius  sees  deeper  than  his  fellows, 
aud  wka'.  is  tril^  and  wearisome  to  the  rest  of 
u^  may  be  full  of  hidden  meaninscs  to  iiim.     He 


can  arotise  the  Intensest  interest  in  "^e  fortunes 
of  John  Smith,  tiie  comer  grocer,  while  the 
clumsy  pretender  will  have  Sir  Vernon  de

hands.  By  the  commonplace  I  mean  that  which 
is  recognized  as  such  by  common  consent. — The 
Atlantic  Monthly. 

Saxon  England. — Since  tho  time  of 
Alfred  a  national  literature  has  been  growing 
up,  of  which  the  very  fragments  that  have  sur- 
vived the  revolution  of  conquest  and  many  cen- 
turies of  liteniry  neglect,  are  greater  than  tbe 
native  contemporjxneous  literature  of  any  other 
people  in  Europe.  Xo  other  nation  possesses  a 
hody  of  history  such  as  tho  Anglo-Saxon  Bede 
and  the  Chronicles.  The  theological  literature, 
although  ,  slight  in  comparison  with  that  of 
the  Latin-speaking  nations,  testifies,  by  the  fact 
that  it  is  in  the  tongue  of  the  people,  to  a  far 
more  thorough  religious  sympathy  between  tho 
teachers  nnd  tho  taught  than  can  be  with  any 
degree  of  nrobability  attributed  to  the  conti- 
nental churches.  In  medicine,  natural  science, 
grammar,  geography,  the  English  of  the  elev- 
enth century  had  manuals  in  their  own  tongue. 
They  had  arts  too,  of  their  own;  goldsmith's 
work,  embroidery,  illuminarion  of  manuscripts 
fiourisbed,  as  well  as  the  craft  of  the  weaver  and 
the  armorer.  The  domestic  civilization  of 
England,  with-  all  its  drawbacks,  was  far  be- 
yond that  of  France.  The  Xorman  fcuigh'ts 
despised.  under\'alued,  and  destroyed  much 
that  they  could  not  comprehend.  England  was 
behind  Europe  in  some  of  the  arts  which  they 
had  in  common,  but  she  had  much  that  was  her 
own,  and  developed  what  she  had  in  common 
by  her  own  gennis.  She  might  be  behind  in 
architecture,  although  that  remains  to  be 
proved,  for  much  that  we  know  as  the  work  of 
Norman  architects  was  imitated  from  Roman 
models — an  imitation  wliich,  althousrb  it  later 
developed  into  systems  far  freer  and  nobler 
than  anything  that  exj.sted  before.  ^\'as  .still 
only  ad\*ancing  from  its  rudest  stage  in  France 
and  Germany.  England  wa.s  slow  in  following 
the  architecture,  as  she  was  in  following  the 
politics,  of  the  Continent.  It  is  seldom 
remembered,  in  coiunaring  Norman  and 
Anglo-Saxon  in  j>oint  of  civilization, 
how  ver>-  little  the  Norman  brought 
in  comparison  with  what  he  destroyed, 
and  how  very  litUe  he-  brought  that  was 
his  own.  His  law  was  Frank  or  Lombard, 
bis  general  cultivation  that  of  Lanfnuic  ami

the  word — In  the  organization  of  the  social  life,

df'nce.  he  was  far  behind  those  whom  be  despised 
with  the  insolence  of  a  barbarian ;  he  had 
for;;atten  bis  own  language,  he  harl  no 
iiteniture,  his  art  was  foreign  and  purchased. 
Bui  he  was  a  spk-ndid  .soldier,  he  had  seen  the t 
great  world  East  and  West,  he  knew  the  balance  | 
of  power  between  Popes  aud  Emperors,  and  he  j

Certaldo,  Boccaccio's  Tow  n.— Cortaldo 
is  some  five  or  sis  and  twenty  miles  from  Flor- 
ence, and  is  a  station  on  the  line  of  rail  be- 
tween Empoli,  on  the  Val  d'Arno.  and  Siena. 
The  little  town  crests  the  summit  of  a  curving 
hill,  at  the  foot  of  which  the  rail  runs,  along 
thexailey  of  tbe  Elsa.  one  of  the  most  fertile 
of  Tuscany.  A  new  town,  as  in  so  many  anoilier 
sijuilar  case,  has  arisen  in  the  neighborhood  of 
the  rail  ;  and  whatever  slender  elements  of 
activity  and  prosperity  may  yet  remain  in  the 
plai-e  have  been  thus  drawn  off  from,  the  ancient 
town  to  aliment  tho  modern  upstart.  The 
decadence  of  old  Certaldo  is^herefore  complete. 
Vet  the  ancient  and  venerable  ro-rca.  or  fortress, 
as  these  old  toyvns  so  situated  are  invariably 
called,  still  stands  begirt  with  its  crumbiing  walls, 
and.  though  aj^parently  owing  nothing  foH 
many  a  past  year  to  the  repairing  hand  of  mason. 
bricklayer,  or  carpenter,  still  bids  grim  defianee 
to  Father  Time,  and  <;ontinueslo  afford  a  shelter 
to  the  descendants  of  Boccaccio's  fellow-towns- 
men.  A  modem  zigzag  road  has  beafa  con- 
structed, by  which  carriages  may  n'>w  ascend 
from  the  valley  to  the  old  town  ;  but  the  old 
pavetl  way  up  to  the  town  still  remain?,  atiil. 
like  most  otliers  of  the  ol  1  hill-roadsof  Ttiscam-. 
was  evidently  iiitended  only  for  horses  \iv 
nmles,  an<l  nnist  have  been  severe  climbing  for 
them.  We  may.  I  think,  feel  siire  that  porHy 
Messer  Giovanni  never  attempted  the  ascentJuii 
foot ;  but  I  fancy  I  can  see  hiua  on  his  discy***'! 
m:ile.  with  bLs  riding-cloak  around  him.  toiling 
uj»  the  Jiscont  at  sober  pace,  and  reading,  per- 
haps, a  small  pocket  volume,  as  his  beast  with 
regular  steps  clanibers  up  the  well-known 
steep.  He  is  returning  from  Florence, 
tired  with  tho  ride  and  anxious  to  find 
himself  in  tbe  repose  of  his  own  home. 
Tlie  gateway  he  is  thus  approacbins 
opens  imme<liate]y.  on  tlie  brow  of  the  hill- 
precipice,  it  might  almost  be  called — and  the 
entir**  walls  stand  similarly  on  the  very  edge  of 
the  steep  descent,  so  that  the  little  town  occu- 
pies the  whole  of  the  table-land  on  the  top  of 
the  hill.  It  contains,  however,  little  more  than 
one  street,  paved,  after  the  invariable  fashion 
of  Tuscany,  with  flagstones.  In  this  stn^'t  two 
or  three  housfis  still  retain  the  tower  which  ouce 
marked  the  residence  of  a  patrician :  and  one  tif 
tliese  is  pointed  out — any  urchin  in  the  street 
will  serve  as  cicerone  for  the  purpose — as  the 
house  of  Bi>ccaccio.  It  is  the  one  single  glor},\ 
boast,  and  source  of  interest  which  still  remains 
to  the  town  in  the  wreck  of  its  fortunes,  and  is 
fully  appre<'iate<l  as  stxch  by  its  inhahiiants. 
When  a  strangi-T  is  descried  wendinir  liLs  slow 
way  up  from  the  railway  station  to  the  towjj. 
the  old  datue  who  keeps  the  key  of  "  the 
bouse ''  is  summonwl  to  bo  in  readiness,  for 
nobody  imagines  for  a  mtiment  that  any  human 
being  can  come  toCertaldo  for  any  other  pur- 
pi>.-5e  than  to  see  Messer  Giovanni's  house  and 
t>urial-place.  .-V  poor  little  attempt  at  a  cafe. 
tbe  only  place  of  public  entertainment  IK»s- 
ses^ed  by  the  town,  is  called  the  "  Cafffe  di  P.<tc- 
caccio."  The  house,  which  had  become  the 
dwelling  and  magazine  t»f  a  charcoal-dealer,  wa^ 
preserved  from  further  deexadatiouand  destmc- 
lion  by  the  Marcliesci  Carlotta  Lenzoni.  who 
purchased  it  some  quarter  of  a  century  ago, 
and  caused  it  to  be  preserved  in  its  primitive 
condition.  Tliough  ennobled  by  the  jtossession 
of  a  tower,  it  is  au  exceedingly  small  dwelling. 
On  the  ground  fioor.  immi;diarely  on  the  right 
hand  of  the  entrance,  isa  .small  room,  now  wholly 
unf  uruislud  and  unfloored.  This  may  have  proba- 
bly been  the  loilging  of  the  ba<*he!or  poet's  <me 
miiid-servant.  liut  this  room,  the  entrance,  and 
the  stjiircase  occu]»y  all  the  ground  fioor  ;  and 
one  good-sized  room,  some  li.»  feet  long  by  1*^ 
wiile,  constitutes  the  entire  first  fioor.  Above 
this,  with  the  exception  of  the  tower  and  uiinja- 
tiu-e  kitchen,  there  is  nothing.  In  this  room, 
the  drawing-room,  lil>rar\-,  dining-room,  aufl 
bed-room  of  tho  poet,  the  Marchesa  Carlotta 
Leux.oui  has  established  a  little  Museum  Boccoc- 
ciaiium,  con.sisting  of  all  the  ancient  articles  of 
furniture  of  the  poet's  day  which  remained  in 
the  house,  a  little  cabinet  containing  nire  and 
eurly  editions  of  ,his  works,  a  specimen  of  ins

bis  warringa  against  oppression,  and  Voltaire 
in  his  .scoffings  against  things  sacred — Heine, 
not  only  as  wit,  poet,  and  satirist,  but  as  man, 
with  soul  striving  to  reach  the  heights,  and 
body  chained  to  earth,  awakens  our  curiosity, 
and  fa.scinatcs  our  thought,  with  the  keen  in- 
terest of  a  living  enigma!  Bom  with  the 
century,  when  the  world's  Whole  and 
anxious  attention  was  ceatred  on  that 
mighty  Captain's  doings  who  from  victon- 
to  victory  >\-tts  marching  triumphantly  throu-rh 
all  lands,  changing  the  boundaries  of  kiii;^loms 
and  countries,  Heine  early  drank  in  the  spirit 
of  the  Napoleonic  epoch.  His  first  education, 
though  ho  was  bom  a  German  and  a  Jew.  Wiis 
French  and  military,  for  a  soldier  of  Napoleon's 
army  of  occupatifiu  edu«jated  the  spirit  of  the 
Diisseldorf  boy.  How  Kroat  a  share  this  old 
veteran  of  France  bad  in  shaping  the  ta.sTcs 
of  Heine's  manhood,  we  learn  from  those  lieart-

"XlfaZISB  GRAMMAR"— so  CALLED. 


BT  VtCaUB}  QKA!T  WBITX; 


" '  Ah,  it's  me,'  said  Mr.  Sqneers,  '  and 
me'i  the  first  person  singular,  nominative  ease, 
agreeing  with  the  verb  it's,  and  governed  by 
Sqnsers  onderstood;  aa,  a  acorn  a  hour  ;  but 
Vhen  the  h  is  sounded,  the  a  only  Is  written,  as 
a  hand,  a  heart,  a  highway,"'  This  delicious 
passage  is,  like  almost  all  of  its  author's  writing, 
a  caricature,  but  a  caricature  full  of  life  and 
truth.  The  reason  of  its  being  so  exquisitely 
laughable  is  not  because  of  its  representation  of 
the  ignorance  of  the  schoolmaster,  the  union  of  { 
the  pedagogue  and  the  ignoiamos  having  been 
often  presented  before ;  but  because  it  pre-i 
■enta  in  a  compact  and  ridiculously  impres- 
■Ive  form  the  vague,  confused  memories 
left  in  most  minds  by  the  study  of 
that  absurd  and  utterly  useless  "branch"  ofj 
•dncation,  Bngllsh  grammar.  It  is  constructed 
^th  admirable  art.  The  blunder  in  the  person 
and  case  of  nie,-  and  the  making  the  noun  agree 
with  the  verb,  the  confused  reference  to  it's  as 
a  verb,  the  single  syllable  really  containing  the 
verb  ii,  make  a  ridiculous  muddle,  Indeed  ;  but 
this  would  have  failed  of  its  present  effect  ^th- 
out  the  introduction  of  that  sage  and  mysterious 
formula  of  "  parsing "  which  completes  the 
analysis,  "and  governed  by  Squeers  under- 
stood." The  climax  is  capped  by  the  "as"  in- 
troducing, in  the  manner  of  grammarians, 
an  example  which  is  entirely  from  the 
purpose,  and  which  is  not  only  confused 
and  erroneous,  but,  with  all  its  absurdity, 
so  characteristic  an  example  of  the  style  of  illus- 
tration In  English  grammar  that  every  person 
who  has  been  put  through  the  bewildering  dis- 
cipline of  that  study  recognizes  on  the  instant 
the  condition  of  his  own  mind  at  some  period 
at  his  pupilage.  Dickens  is  the  great  master  of 
this  sort  of  word  caricature — ^that  which  repre- 
sents a  confused  recollection  of  facts  and  an  in- 
consequent, disconnected  succession  of  thoughts., 
Shakespeare  did  it,  of  course,  as  he  did  every- 
thing. But  he  did  It  merely  by  the  way,  in 
passing.  Dickens  lays  himself  out  on  it,  elabo- 
rates it,  and  rises  with  it  to  the  height  of  the 
ridiculous— in  Mrs.  Gamp,  for  instance,  and 
Flora,  in  ZittJe  Dorrit. 

1  believe  that  1  have  not  overstated  the  case 
in  saying  that  Mr.  Squeers's  amazing  effort  in 
parsing  is  a  mere  caricature  of  the  impression 
left  upon  most  minds  by  the  study  of  English 
grammar.  1  know  that  there  are  some  persons 
who  have  not  yet  written-  English  grammars — 
the  existing  number  of  which,  however,  shows 
that  a  very  large  proportion  of  the  Eng- 
lish-speaking race  must  have  engaged  at 
one  period  or  another  in  that  cheerful 
occupation — but  who,  mute,  inglorious 
Lindley  Murrays  ahd  Gould  Browns,  do 
believe  that  to  speak  and  writ©  "  good  gram- 
mar "  is  the  highest  attainable  point  in  educa- 
tion, and  to  whom  a  sentence,  albeit  uttered  by 
the  Supreme  Wisdom  amid  thunderings  and 
lightnings,  is  chiefly  something  that  may  be 
parsed.  But  these  people  are  specialists,  and 
partake  of  the  insanity  that  pertains  to  special- 
ism. Those  who  I  expect  will  aerree  with  ma 
are  the  mass  of  intelligent  people  to  whom  lan- 
guage is  merely  the  means  of  communicating 
facts  and  thoughts. 

I  have  called  English  grammar  an  absurd  and 
useless  study  ;  and  X  verily  and  soberly  believe 
it  to  be  so.  Its  absurdity  I  hope  to  show  in  the 
consideration  of  its  rules  and  methods  ;  its  use- 
lessness  will  appear  upon  a  brief  glance  at  the 
hisiory  of  English  literature.  I"  believe  that 
the  effect  of  the  study  of  English  grammar,  so 
called,  is  to  cramp  the  free  action  of  the  mind, 
to  bewilder  and  confuse  where  it  does  not  en- 
feeble and  formalize,  to  pervert  the  perception  of 
the  true  excellence  of  English  speech,  and  in 
brief,  to  substitute  the  sham  of  a  dead  form  for 
the  reality  of  a  living  spirit. 

Grammar  is  at  war  with  common  sense.  And 
(  must  say  here  that  by  grammar  I  mean  formal 
^ammar.  that  system  of  language  which 
»}nstructs  sentences  upon  the  correspond- 
ence of  the  forms  of  words,  or,  where 
there  are  no  forms  or  few,  upon  the  imaginary 
relations  of  words,  instead  of  the  logical  order 
of  thought.  And  by  saying  that  grammar  is  at 
war  with  common  sense,  I  do  not  mean  that  it 
is  inconsistent  with  sense  ;  for  that  would  be 
to  relegate  to  the  realms  of  nonsense  much  of 
the  profoundest  wisdom,  the  most  beautiful 
imagination,  and  the  most  delightful  humor 
that  past  ages  have  given  to  the  world.  By 
common  sense  we  mean  that  faculty  of  perceiv- 
ing the  practical  relations  of  things  which  is  the 
best  guide  through  life,  which  may  exist  in  an 
.  aninatructed  and  very  common-place  mind,  and , 
whioh  may  be  entirely  lacking  in  on»  which  is 
stored  with  learning  or  gifted  with  creative 
gonlns.  This  faculty  exists  in  a  greater  degree 
in  some  races  than  in  others.  The  Anglo-Saxon 
raee  are  distinguished  by  it ;  they  are  pre-emi- 
nently a  people  of  common  sense. 

The  fact  that  grammar — ^formal  grammar — is 
at  war  with  common  sense  is  shown  by  the  his- 
tory of  language.  It  might  naturally  be  sup- 
posed that  with  the  advancement  of  civilization 
and  the  perfection  of  literary  skill,  grammar 
would  become  more  elaborate,  if  not  more  com- 
plicated ;  that  as  life  became  more  complex  and 
society  more  polished,  language,  the  chief 
meaai  of  Intellectual  development  and  social 
progress,  would,  with  equal  steps,  become  more 
eomplex  and  elaborated.  The  contrary  is  the 
taat.  The  further  we  go  back  in  the  history  of 
tha  world,  the  more  complex  we  And  language, 
the  more  minutely  varied  and  numerous  are  the 
forms  of  words,  the  more  elaborate  the  con- 
■tmetion  of  the  sentence.  The  grammar  of  the 
oldest  written  language  known — the  Sanscrit — 
la  of  all  the  most  complicated,  and  the  rivals  of 
Sanscrit  In  this  respect  are  the  languages  of 
some  utterly  barbarous  neoples.  The  supply  of 
grammar  before  the  time  of  the  Tower  of  Babel 
must  have  been  something  quite  inconceivable 
at  the  present  day.  As  the  world  has  advanced 
It  haa  laid  aside  gradually  the  un- 
essential In  language ;  It  has  dropped 
forma  of  words  which  expressed  minute  shades 
of  meaning  as  to  time  and  other  relations,  and 
ha*  accomplished  the  ends  for  which  those 
forma  were  made  by  simpler  methods,  the 
change  always  being  destructive  of  formal 
grammar.  All  languages,  living  or  dead,  show 
in  th«ir  history  the  progress  of  this  change  ; 
bttt  it  appears  most  in  the  Anglo-Saxon  or  Eng- 
lish language,  in  which  formal  grammar  might 
be  said  to  have  entirely  disappeared,  but  for  a 
vary  small  number  of  "  survivals,"  which  are  to 
be  found  In  a  few  forms  of  pronouns  and  verbs. 
In  thja  the  distinguishing  common  sense  of  the 
l!B(Ilah  race  is  eminently  apparent.  It  is  not 
Bartaln  that  this  deformalizing  of  the  English 
language  has  yet  reached  Its  end,  (for  example, 
the  distinction  between  who  and  tchom  seems  to 
be  disappearing,  and  I  believe  will  disappear ;) 
and  the  retention  of  these  forms  may  be  due,  on 
the  one  hand^  to  a  common-sense  view  of  their 
praotioal  usefulness,  or,  on  the  other,  in  pro- 
nonna  at  least,  to  the  immobility  of  those  most 
uici«nt  of  all  the  elements  of  language.  That 
pronouns  are  and  must  Inevitably  have  been 
the  oldest  words  in  language,  those  represent-

and  speakers  of  WTigHab,  before  Hie  present 
century  at  l»ast,  were  at  all  Instructed  in  that 
by  pedagogues  much-vaunted  "  branch  "  of  edu- 
cation. Our  great  poets,  philosophers,  states- 
men, orators— men  whose  words  are  the  glory 
and  the  priceless  heritage  of  the  English  race,  and 
whose  use  of  language  we  feebly  emulate — knew 
nothing  of  English  grammar,  except  that  they 
spoke  in  grammar,- 1  for  the  grammar  came. 
Is  there  any  use  in  teaching  a  method  of  speak- 
ing and  writing  the  English  language  correctly 
that  was  utterly  unknown  to  Chaucer,  Spenser, 
Sidney,  Marlowe,  Shakespeare,  Ben  Jonson, 
Bacon,  Fletcher,  Milton,  Pope,  Dryden,  Locke, 
Addison,  Steele,  Fielding,  Goldsmith,  Sterne, 
Burke,  .Tohnson,  and  to  the  English  translators 
of  the  Bible !  And  what  English  short  of  that 
of  Shakespeare  and  the  English  Bible  is  to  be 
compared  with  John  Bunyan's — a  man  ignorant 
of  not  only  English  grammar  but  of  any  gram- 
mar at  all  i  I  have  stopped  in  the  citation  of 
my  examples  with  the  writers  of  the  last  cen- 
tury merely  because,  in  regard  to  those  of  the 
present,  I  am  less  sure  about  their  school-boy 
experience  in  learning  their  mother  tongue, 
and  because  it  was  about  the  beginning  of  this 
century  -that  the  grammar  fever  broke  out. 
But  that  mental  malady  never  raged 
much  in  England,  at  least  in  the  class 
of  those  who  receive  the  higher  education ; 
and  it  is  probable  at  least  that  Walter  Scott, 
Byron,  Wordsworth,  Southey,  Macaulay,  Car- 
lyle,  and  Thackeray  received  no  speci^instruc- 
tion  in  English  grammar.  This  assertion  may 
surprise  some  who  know  that  "grammar- 
schools"'  have  long  been  known  in  England 
They  have  existed  there  f oi;  centuries— from  the 
time  of  Edward  VI.  at  least  There  was  a  gram- 
mar-school at  Scratford-on-Avon,  to  "which 
Shakespeare  probably  went ;  and  he  makes  Jack 
Cade  bring  it  as  grievous  accusation  against  the 
Lord  Say  that  he  has  "  most  traitorously  cor- 
rupted the  youth  of  the  realm  in  erecting  a 
grammar-schooL"  But  these  grammar-schools 
had  nothing  to  do  with  English.  The  grammar 
that  they  taught  was  the  Latin  grammar.  Then 
•'grammar"  meant,  without  more  words,  Latin 
grammar.  The  people  that  produced  Shake- 
speare and  Bacon  and  the  translators  of  the 
Bible  would  as  soon  have  thought  of 
setting  up  schools  to  teach  young  ducks 
to  swim  as  a  school  to  teach  English  boys  the 
art  of  speaking  and  writing  the  English  lan- 
guage correctly.  In  "  The  Merry  Wives  ot 
Windsor"  Shakespeare  makes  the  clergyman. 
Sir  Hugh  Evans,  ask  little  n'ilUam  Page  "  some 
questions  in  his  accidence,"  at  the  request  of 
his  mother,  who  says  that  his  father  complains 
that  he  "profits  nothing  in  the  world  at  his 
book ;''  and  his  accidence  is  Latin,  his  book 
simply  hi.^  Latin  grammar.  The  men  whom 
Jaek  Cade  tells  Lord  Say  it  will  be  proved  to  his 
face  he  has  about  him.  and  who  "  usually  talk 
of  a  noun  and  a  verb,  and  such  abominable 
words  as  no  Christian  ear  can  endure  to  hear," 
talked  only  of  Latin  nouns  and  verbs.  The  first 
English  grammar  that  I  am  acquainted  with 
was  written  by  Ben  Jonson,  who  wrote  it,  I  be- 
lieve, after  Shakespeare's  time,  and  left  it  uu- 
flnished.  After  that  there  were  various  Eng- 
lish grammars  written,  but  they  were  not  for  the 
use  of  schools.  Knowledge  of  the  construction 
of  language  was  obtained  in  England  until  a 
a  very  recent  period  only  through  the  medium 
of  the  Latin  and  the  Greo'i  grammars.  '  'America" 
has  been  the  great  field  of  labor  In  English 
grammar,  and  the  first  great  English  grammar, 
the  one  by  which  school-boydomhas  been  chiefly 
oppressed,  was  ■written  by  an  "American." 
Lindley  Murray,  the  Philadelphia  Quaker.  The 
influence  of  this  book  and  its  congeners  in  our 
country  upon  our  language  has  not  been  happy. 
Our  English  has  suffered  from  it.  We  have 
produced  some  writers  who  u^e  the  English 
language  with  freedom  aud  inborn  mastery ; 
but  the  mass  of  our  free-auil-independont-piiblic- 
school-educated  American  citizens  would.  I  be- 
lieve, have  written  better  and  spoken  b  ;ter, 
more  naturally,  easily,  forcibly,  idiomatically,  if 
"English  grammars  had  been  unknown. 

TBE  CREMAIlO.y  OF  DIL  TTIXSLOW. 
A  telegram  from  Salt  Lake,  I'tah,  to  the  Chi- 
cago Times  gives  the  following  a/*couut  of  the  crema- 
tion of  the  body  of  Dr.  C.  F.  Winsl;>w.  formerly  of 
Maisaehuiietts.  in  Salt  Lake,  on  the  3 Ist  alt.:  "  Wlien 
Dr.  Winslow's  remains  were  placed  in  the  cremation 
furnace  this  afternoon,  at  6:20  o'cloctc,  the  body 
weighed  1*2G  pounds.  He  died  on  the  7th  of  July, 
and  til©  body  had  ijeen  embalmed,  and  the  heart  and 
bowels  taken  oat.  Tlie  crowd  were  permitted  to 
view  the  face  as  the  body  lay  in  n  ulam  cofEn.  with 
'flowers  strewn  on  it.  Nearly  1,000  persons  passed 
around  tiie  cofiiu  rapidly,  immediately  after  which 
the  door  of  tlie  f  amace,  which  had  already  reached 
a  red  heat,  was  opened,  and  the  body  quiclcly 
poshed  in  on  an  iron  plAte.  the  door  closed,  and  the 
fireman  commenced  his  work  in  earnest.  The  f  nmace 
was  constructed  with  double  lines,  so  that  the  flames 
came  directly  in  contact  with  an  envelope  above 
the  body,  a  large  corrent  of  air  being  admitted  The 
first  appearance,  as  seen  through  the  mica  apertures, 
was  that  of  roastlnj,  but  in  20  minates  nealy  all  the 
flesh  was  consnmed.  and  tha  bones  had  begun  to 
crumble.  A  >^a1^  hoar  later  very  little  could  be  seen 
of  the  form  of  the  body.  At  7:-lj  Dr.  Hamilton 
opened  the  door  of  the  furnace,  and  bat  one  or  two 
pieces  of  bones  could  be  seen,  and  they  crumbled 
under  the  weight  of  the  ashes.  At  8:55  the  process 
was  pronoimced  complete  and  successful  bv  Drs. 
HamUtoa  and  Smart.  The  flres  were  drawn, 
and  the  ashes  left  to  cool  a  short  time 
before    being    removed.        Before     the    body      wa.s 

E laced  in  the  retort  short  speeches  were  made  by  Dr. 
Lamilton  and  fren.  M.  M.  Bcme  and  Dr.  Smart,  Sur- 
geon at  Camp  Douglas.  Dr.  Hamilton  .spoke  only  of  the 
good  qualities  of  the  deceased,  tren.  Bone  indulgwl 
In  description,  eulogy,  and  isentiment.  and  said  Mr. 
Winslow  had  set  an  example  tliat  would  be  exten- 
sively followed.  Dr.  Smart  gave  a  history  of  the 
science  of  cremrition.  and  referred  to  the  system  of 
burial  as  injorious  to  public  health,  and  said  the 
practi"**  of  cremation  would  be  apt  to  ^crease  with 
civiliz*iliua  and  growth  of  population.  Xo  prayer 
was  said  uor  religious  words  uttered,  which  was  in 
accordance  with  the  Injunctions  of  the  deceased.  The 
crowd  present  numbered  over  1,000.  and  there  was 
even  struggling  to  get  a  view  of  the  scene  and  body. 
The  fames  from  the  furnace  were  unpleasantly  per- 
ceptible at  a  distance  fromtiie  locality.  The  affair  was 
succe-ssfnl.  being  the  shortest  time  on  record.  '2  hours 
and  3.5  minutes.  The  weight  of  the  ashes,  which 
contained  a  few  calcined  fragments  of  boue,  was  i 
pounda  11%  ounces." 

THE  LOSS  AT  ST.  JODX. 
The  St.  John  (N.  B.)  Globe  of  July  31  thus 
estimates  the  loss  by  the  firo  in  that  city :  "  The  as. 
sessed  value  of  the  whole  city  property  on  the  east 
side  of  the  harbor  is  a  little  over  810,000,000.  In 
thisvaluation  is  not  included  the  city  buildings,  the 
Government  bnildin-js.  the  chnrches.  and  the  charit- 
able institutions.  If  we  allow  for  these,  say  $1.000,. 
000,  which  is  a  large  estimate,  tiie  total  valuation 
would  be  from  $11. (WO.OOO  to  .$11,500,000  as  the 
total  valuation  of  the  real  estate.  Tliis  in- 
cludes botii  land  and  buildings.  Now  this 
will  enable  us  to  pretty  neatly  estimate  the 
total  loss  which  the  city  sustained  by  the  fire. 
The  burned  district  comprises  200  acres  of  the  best 
portion  of  the  city,  not  qnite  one-half  of  the  acreage 
on  the  east  side  of  the  harbor.  The  land  of  course, 
is  left,  and  so  also  is  a  portion  of  the  foimdation 
walls  of  many  buildings.  Taking  into  the  account 
the  assessed  "values  of  the  properties,  the  Govern- 
ment buildhigs,  and  the  other  buildings  enumerated 
aiwve  not  included  in  the  assessed  value,  it  is  quite 
safe  to  say  that  $3,500,000  is  a  pretty  close 
estimate  "of  the  actual  value  of  tne  de. 
Btroyed  real  estate.  If  this  may  be  considered 
low,  it  is  quite  safe  to  say  tliat  $-4,000,000  will  cover 
the  acttial  loss.  Tiiis  is  maoh  lower  tuan  previous 
estimates,  but  we  believe  it  is  as  near  correct  as  can 
be.  The  As.sessors  made  uo  their  values  from  the 
Ivest  possible  sources,  viz..  sales  as  they  occur  In  pub. 
lie  at  auction,  and  the  values  recorded  In  mortgages, 
transfers,  &c.,  at  the  Registry  office.  Although  the 
amount  mav  appear  small  as  compared  with  first 
statements,  it  is  very  large  indeed  foi:  a  place  like  St. 
Jolm.  We  have  no  way  of  making  as  correct  an  es- 
timate of  the  personal  property.  It  is  quite  safe  to 
calculate  it  at  double  the  value  of  the  real  estate." 


A  MIRA.OB  OP  DETROIT  RIVER. 
The  following  is  from  the  Rochester  (>Iich.) 
Era :  "On  Saturday  morning  at  6:30  o'clock,  while 
Oscar  Chipman,  of  this  village,  and  two  young  men 
were  engaged  in  the  harvest  field  on  the  farm  of  Har- 
rison Weaver,  three  miles  south  of  this  village,  their 
attention  was  attracted  by  a  peculiar  looking  cloud 
jast  above  the  horizon  in  the  direccion  of  Detroit, 
which  dty  ^vas  at  least  25  miles  from  their  point  of 
observation.  A  closer  study  of  the  peculiar  cioudre- 
vealed  to  their  astonished  visions  beautiful  and  well, 
defined  mirage  of  a  portion  of  Grosse  Isle  and  the 
Detroit  River,  with  the  lovely  surrounding  scenery. 
The  picture  thus  painted  'on  the  clouds  remained 
dear  and  distinct  for  at  least  half  an  hoar,  when  it 
gradually  faded  from  their  view.  We  have  heard  of 
the  mirages  of  Detroit  River  scenery  being  seen  oc- 
caaionaHy  near  the  city,  but  do  not  recollect  of  ever 
before  baring  heard  ox  one  being  seen  so  far  off  as

PETER  COOPER'S  REMEDIES. 

♦ 

Ol^EK  LETTER  TO  PRESIDENT BAYES. 
HOW    TO    BELIEVE    THE    DISTEESS    OP   THE 
I    COUNTRY  AND  GIVE  EVERY  MAN  ALL  HE 
I    WANTS — GREAT    PUBLIC    WORKS,   SILVER 
!    A    LEGAL    TENDER,   SCHOOLS    OP    TECH- 
NOLOGY,    A    PROTECTIVE    TARIFF,     AND 
EEFOEMED  CIVIL  SERVICE. 
Mr.  Peter  Cooper  hss  addressed  the  following 
open  letter  to  President  Hayes,  npon  the  present 
hard  times,  and  the  reraediea  he  proposes  wherewith 
prosperity  and  abundance  may  be  restored : 

!  New- York,  August,  1877. 

Although  I  have  but  lately  addressed  yon  an  open 
letter  on  the  sad  state  of  the  industrial  and  financial 
conditions  of  our  common  country,  and  the  causes 
thnit  have  brought  it  about,  yet  the  events  that  have 
since  transpired,  while  they  have  given  additional 
emphasis  to  that  appeal,  Justify  me  in  once  more  ad- 
dressing you  on  the  same  subject. 

Surely  the  peaceful  expostulations  and  complaints 
Of  BO  many  thousands  of  your  fellow-citizens,  going 
up  (from  every  part  of  this  distressed  country,  not  to 
speak  of  the  violence  and  lawlessness  whioh  this  dis- 
tress has  occasioned,  not  only  appeal  to  your  human- 
ity and  patriotism,  but  call  for  the  most  earnest  and 
instant  action  on  the  part  of  the  Government  of 
which  you  are  the  chief  Executive.  Prom  your  past 
patriotic  life  and  action,  and  from  yonr  present  wise 
and  conciliating  conduct  in  the  political  affairs  of  this 
country,  we  have  every  reason  to  hopo  a  new  and 
ptraight  path  of  relief  will  be  found  for  the  manifest 
pvUs  under  which  this  country  is  laboring.  It  is 
fsvith  this  hope,  and,  at  my  advanced  age,  with  no 
other  motive  than  the  welfare  of  our  beloved  coun- 
try, that  I  unite  with  thousands  of  my  fellow-citizeiis 
in  calling  your  attention  and  that  of  your  political 
advisers  not  only  to  the  facts,  which  are  obvious 
enough,  but  to  the  causes  and  remedies  that  ought  to 
be  considered  in  devising  the  best  means  of  curing 
the  present  evils.  The  facts  themselves  are  appalling 
|to  any  patriotic  heart. 

Mor©  than  200,000  men,  within  the  last  few  weeks, 
have  Joined  the  "strikea"  on  the  ^'oricais  railroad 
lines,  the  workshops,  and  the  mines  of  the  country, 
pn  account  ot  further  reduction  in  their  wages,  al- 
ready reduced  to  the  living  point.  That  some  of  these 
Strikes  have  been  attended  with  lawless  and  unjusti- 
fiable violence  only  shows  the  intensity  of  the  evils 
Icomplained  of  and  the  despair  of  the  sufEerers.  For 
four  years  past,  since  the  "  panic  of  1873,"  millions 
of  men  and  women,  in  this  hitlierto  rich  and  prosper- 
ous country,  have  been  thrown  out  of  employment, 
jor,  living  on  precarious  and  inadequate  wages,  have 
{felt  embittered  with  a  lot  in  which  neither  economv 
toor  industry  nor  a  cheerful  willingness  to  work 
ihard  can  bring  any  alleviation.  Is  it  to  be  wondered 
iat  that  enforced  idleness  lias  made,  tramps  of  so  many 
iof  our  laboring  population  or  induced  them  to  join 
the  criminal  and  dangerous  classes  ?  .^ 

\  During  this  same  period  Immlgratioffjinto  this 
icoautry  of  the  hajniy  and  industrious  of  "'ililV'riations, 
'who  have  hitherto  built  up  oxjr  country^  has.  in  a 
jgwat  measure,  stopped,  while  thousands  at  [artisans 
^and  mechanics  whom  a  prosperous  country  cannot 
'spare,  are  emigrating  to  otiier  countries.  Ourmanu- 
'factories  are,  many  of  them,  closed  or  running  at  a 
floss,  or  giving  starvation  prices  to  their  operatives. 
;Our  merchants  are  demanalug  the  cpduction  of  their 
Jrents.  discharging  many  of  tfieir  employes,  and  such 
■as  are  in  debt  are  fast  Koing  into  bankruptcy.  The 
^mining  and  the  railroad  interests  of  the  countrj*.  on 
which  the  income  and  employment  of  so  many  thou- 
sands depend,  are  fast  succumbing  to  the  treueral 
Ifatlure  in  the  finances  of  the  country,  so  tliat  their 
^stocks  have  become  depreciated  or  worthless, 
■and  their  employes  discharged  or  mutinous 
ion  account  of  reduced  wages.  Real  estate  has 
[depreciated  to  less  than  half  of  wliat  it  would  have 
■brought  four  years  affo  ;  much  of  It  cannot  be  sold 
[for  anv  price,  and  mortgages  of  one-quarter  its  value. 
|if  forecl")sed.  swallow  up  the  whole.  The  thriving 
land  enterprising  farmer  of  the  West,  especially.. feels 
Itliis  rise  in  the  value  of  money,  as  compared  with 
[labor  or  propfrtv.  With  the  hardy  toil  of  years,  he 
[has  opened  and  improved  his  farm,  and  the  compara- 
itive  small  loan,  which  laid  but  a  lijjht  weicbt  on  the 
[  resources  of  his  land  in  prosperous  times  and  with  a 
isufficieucyof  money,  is  now  threatening  to  swalloiv 
iup  the  labor  of  hU  life  I  Even  the  banks  and  the 
I  loaning  institutions,  not  being  able  to  Invest  their 
Inionev  on  "good  sectiritie*."  are  embarrassed  on 
I  both  sides— the  failure  of  their  debtors,  that  throws 
I  so  many  of  the  securities  tm  their  liands,  aud  make^ 
I  ■'  bonds  and  mortgages"  a  "  tjlut  in  tiie  market,"  and 
I  the  difficultv  of  making  anv  new  loans  or  investments 
I— so  that  money  "goes  aWgging"  atli-jand  'J  per 
I  cent !  ... 

I  Bat  these  moneved  men  are  vervpaticnt  with  their 
I  troubles  in  this  respffct.  for  they  know  that  money 
,  is  appreciating  in  vnlue  all  the  time!  It  m.aj-  be  now 
'that  loanable  capital,  on  enod  security,  is  gath- 
'ered  largely  in  the  moneyed  centres,  aud  much  I'f 
'  it  comparatively  idle ;  out  tJils  is  no  great 
I  hardship  to  those' that  own  the  capital,  ir:  the  pres- 
ence of  the  fact,  that  money  is  appreciating  in  its 
'  relative  value  while  waiting  for  active  investment. 
t  Thl«  is  the  secret  why  money  seeks  no  active  in- 
I  vestment  now.  but  only  Kuod  sejurity,  or  idleness. 
'  The  countrv  at  large,  its  various  industrial  enter- 
I  prises,  and  its  labor  are  in  want  of  money.  I-j  there 
1  any  fact  more  ob\iou«  than  this  J  Nor  is  it  the  rich 
that  want  monev.  but  the  poor,  as  a  neces-sary  con- 
I  ditiou  for  selling'  the  labor  which  is  their  sole  pos- 
aes-sion.  Hence,  to  the  poor  man,  cheap  money  is 
equivalent  to  cheap  bread. 

Ever  since  1365  this  country  has  been  losing  its 
monev. 

During  the  last  10  years  thon-<«inds  of  millions  of 
money  have  been  swjdlowed  in  (jovemment  and  rail* 
'  road  bonds,  and  other  securiile-s.  and  In  importations 
!  which,  till  lately,  have  fareiceede*!  our  esi»ortat ions. 
t  It  is  a  fact  on  rtyurd  in  the  books  of  the  L'nitwi 
I  State's  Treasury*,  aud  by  such  authorities  as  Spaul- 
dins,  in  his  Uistnry  of  the  Vurrenaj  ;  Sir.  Maynard,

[  In  the  year  18G3  there  was  in  the  hands  of  the 
I  people,  as  a  currency,  $53  per  head;  in  1375  the 
I  currencv  of  all  kinds  was  only  a  little  more  than  $17 
I  per  heaX 

I  You  mav  call  this  currency  a  vast  debt  of  the  pco- 
'  pie.  as  it  was  incurre*!  by  the  Government  to  save  the 
i  life  of  the  nation.  But  it  was  money— every  dolUr 
i  of  it.  It  was  paid  by  the  Government  "  for  value 
'  received  ;"  it  was  used  by  the  people  to  pai'  their 
i  debts,  to  measure  the  value  of  their  property,  aud. 
\  us  voiir  present  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  said  in  his 
i  seat  in  the  Senate,  "  every  citizen  of  tho  t-'uited 
1  States  had  conformed  hi%  business  to  the  legal-tender 
I  clause." 

Tliis  currency  was  also   the   creature  of  law,  and 

■  under  the  entire  control  of  tlie  Government,  but  held 
in  trust  for  the  benelit  of  the  people,  as  are  all  its 
functiomi.  Was  it  either  just  or  humane  to  allow 
$l.lOO.0l>0.00U  of  tills  currency,  a  larce  part 
bearing  no  interest,  but  paWne  labor,  and  fructifying

in  the  space  of  eight  years,  bearing  a  heavy  interest, 
of  which  the  bondholder  bore  no  share  f  [See 
Spaulding's  History  of  the  Currency.]  The  Govern-

moted, and  that  the  profit  of  those  who  desired  to 
fund  their  money  with  the  greatest  security,  and  to

This  is  the  issue  of  the  hour  ;  this  is  the  battle  of 
the    people,    and    for    tlie     people,    in  which   the 

■  present  Administration  is  called  upon  to 
;  declare  which  side  it  will  take.  If  this 
!  policy  was  unjust  and  ruinous  at  the  first,  it  is  unjust 
\  Hnd  ruinous  now.  If  it  has  led  ns  from  prosperity 
.  into  adversity,  the  only  course  is  to  retrace  our  steps, 

i  to  stop  this  funding  any  longer,  and  rive  the  people 
\  back  their  money,  justly  earned,  and  hardly  won  by 
j  the  tolls,  perils,  and  sacrifices  of  the  people.  But  as 
i  this  vast  and  life^ving  currency  has  now  gone  irre- 
!  trievably  into  bonds,  and  the  bonds  have  gone  largely

I  pressed  tiie  industry  of  our  people  by  buying  abroad 
I  what  we  could  and  should  have  manufactured  at 
i  home.  I  would  respectfully  suggest  the  following 
I  policy  for  your  Aammistration  in  the  present 
I  emergency  and  -for  the  future  prosperity  of  the 
t  people  of  this  country : 

j  first — Let  the  Government  give  immediate  relief 
I  to  unemployed  labor,  either  through  definite  methods 
I  of  help,  given  to  settlers  of  imoccupied  lands  in  the 
I  West,  or  by  great  and  obvious  public  improvement-s 
I  which  are  seen  to  be  necessary  to  the  prosperity  and 
i  sajfety  of  the  countrj'— such  as  a  North-western  and  a 
\  South-western  railroad.  Both  these  methods  might 
-  be  used  in  view  of  the  great  distress  now  of  the  work- 
ing classes.  T^ie  railroads  will  invite  settlements, 
protect  the  country  from  Indian  wars  more  costly 
than  the  railroads  themselves,  and  give  employment 
'  and  money  which  will  enable  the  poor  man  to  settle 
,  the  lands.  Even  State  and  municipal  help  might  be 
.  evoked  to  this  end  of  employing  labor  by  issuing  cur- 
rency for  the  bonos  of  St  i*e8  and  municipalities  that 
!  could  employ  labor  prollably  in  any  local  Improve- 
ments. 

6*ccon<fit/— Restore  the  silver  coinage  as  a  legal 
,  tender ;  and  while  it  swells  the  ctirrency,  it  may  be 
:  made  as  light  as  paper,  for  transportation,  by  "  bills 
'  of  exchange,"  or  by  a  currency  that  represents  sil- 
ver. The  demonetization  of  sUver  was  a  trick  of  the 
enemies  of  the  poor  man's  currency.  The  remone- 
tization  of  silver  will  be  a  great  relief  now,  in  the  de- 
'.  pression  of  all  business,  if  not  the  final  and  best 
measore. 
Thirdly— ^t  us  adopt  a  permanent  policy  of  pbb- 

■  lie  finance"  that  shall  hereafter  control  both  the  vol- 
ume and  the  value  of  the  national  currency,  in  the 
interest  of  the  whole  people,  and  not  of  a  class.  Let 
ns  have  a  national  currency  fully  honored  by  the 
Government,  and.  not  as  now.  partially  demone- 
tized—the sole  currency  and  legal  tender  of  the  coun- 
try, taken  for  all  duties  and  taxes,  and  intercon- 
vertible with  the  bonds,  at  a  low  but  equitable  rate 
of  interest.  This  will  forever  tjike  the  creation  of 
ctirrency,  and  Its  extinction,  out  of  the  hands  of 
banks  and  those  interested  in  making  it  scarce  and 
high,   and  put  it   completely  under  the  control  of 

.  law  and  the  interests  of  the  people. 

Fourthly— ^l  ns  promote  and  instruct  industry  all 
over  the  land  by  founding,  under  National.  State,  and 
municipij  encouragement,  industrial  schools  of  every 
kind  tlmt  can  advance  skill  in  labor.  The  rich  need 
the  literary  and  professional  school  asd  colleges, 
and  they  should  have  them  ;  but  the  poor  need  the 
industrial  school  of  art  and  science  :  aud  it  should  be 
made  the  duty  of  the  local  governments  to  provide  a 
ttnMcfclAa]  adncation  loT  tlie  mass  of  the  oeonlA  aa  thA 


beat  method  of  "  gnaranteelzig  to  every  Stste  a  re- 
pobliesn  f orm  of  government." 

FifVUy — The  Government  oui  do  much  toward  pro- 
moting the  industry  of  tMs  people,  and  encouraging 
eapitalto  enter  upon  works  cf  manufacture,  by  a  ju- 
dicions  tariff  upon  all  importations  of  which  we  have 
the  raw  material  in  abundance  and  tlie  labor  ready  to 
be  employed  in  the  production.  It  is  no  answer  to 
this  to  say,  "  Buy  where  you  can  cheapest."  I  have 
said  before,  "We  cannot,  as  ft  nation,  buy  anything 
cheaply  that  leaves  bur  own  good  raw  materials  on- 
used  and  our  own  labpr  unemployed." 

HsixUdy—ljtt  us  have  a  civil  service  as  well  organ- 
ized and  specific  as  the  military  or  naval  service. 
Ijet  us  take  the  ci^l  service  oat  of  mere  political 
putisanship,  and  put  such  appointments  npon  the 
ground  of  honesty,  capacity,  and  educational  fitness, 
85  that  no  man  can  hold  his  office  and  receive  Its 
emoluments  without  a  faithful  discharge  of  the  duties 
prescribed  by  the  law.  The  noble  and  efficient  recog-, 
nition  that  you  have  alreadv  given  to  this  principle, 
in  divorcing  politics  from  t^e  ordinary  clerical  and 
civil  service  of  the  country,  entitles  you  to  the  thanks 
of  every  citizen. 

By  these  methodsl  of  immediate  relief  and  future 
administration,  we  imay  pass  safely,  I  think,  the 
great  criais  through  [W^hich  onr  beloved  country  ia  now 
wboring.  I      ;  ^ 

"The  producing  tainse  of  all  prosperity,"?  says 
Daniel  Webster,  "ti  labor,  labor,  labor.  *  [  *  .  * 
The  Government  was  '  made  to  protect  this  in- 
dustry—to give  It  both  encoursBement  and  security. 
To  this  very  end,  with  tills  precise  object  in  view, 
power  was  given  to  Congress  over  the  currency,  and 
over  tho  money  of  the  country." 

Though  the  influences  that  are  now  working 
against  the  rights  of  labor  and  the  true  interests  of  a 
republican  government  are  insidious  and  concealed 
under  plausible  reasons,  yet  the  danger  to  our  free 
Institutions  now  is  no  leas  than  in  the  Inception  of 
the  rebellion  that  shook  onr  Republic  to  its  centre. 
It  Is  only  another  oligarohy.  another  enslaving  power 
that  is  asserting  itself  against  the  interest  of  the 
whole  people.  There  is  fast  forming  in  this  country 
im  aristocracy  of  wealth— the  worst  form  of  aris- 
tocracy that  can  curse  the  prosperity  of  any  country. 
For  such  an  aristocracy  has  no  country — "  absentee- 
Ism,"  living  abroad,  while  they  draw  their  iucome 
from  tiie  country,  is  one  of  its  com.mon  characteris- 
tics. Such  an  aristocracy  Is  without  soul  and  without 
patriotism.  Let  us  save  oar  country  from  tliis.  its 
most  potent,  and,  as  I  hope,  Its  last  enemy.  Let  your 
feliow-citizens  beseech  yon,  Mr.  President,  to  con- 
sider well  what  tho  crisis  of  the  country  demands  of 
you  aud  your  political  ad\*isers.  not  losing  sight  of 
the  fact  that  there  are  great  wrongs  that  must  be 
righted  in  the  administration  of  the  finimces  of  this 
cjuntry  for  the  last  12  years.  Old  is-sues  of  North 
and  South  are,  in  a  great  measurcj  passing  away,  and 
that  patriotism  and  far-sightedness  that  has  so  far 
guided  your  Administration,  we  hope  and  trust,  will 
find  a  way  to  relieve  the  present  distress  of  tlie 
country.  There  is  no  section  of  our  common  country 
that  needs  so  much  the  reviving  Influence  of  an 
abundant  and  a  sound  currency,  us  the  South.  The 
Southern  people  have  the  finest  natural  resonrc*-8 
that  our  countrj'  affords ;  every  facility  for  manufac- 
ture— the  material,,  labor,  and  water-powerindefinite. 
Thev  need  only  money,  wisely  distributed  among  its 
working  and  enterprising  population ;  and  it  was  well 
said,  lately,  by  one  of  the  Southern  statesmen,  that 
,  the  "  Government  had  impoverished,  discomfited,  and 
crushed  the  South  more  by  its  financial  policy,  since 
peace  was  declared,  than  by  Itjs  arms  during  the 
whole  war  of  rebellion !" 

If  the  people  can  look  for  no  relief  from  the  pres- 
ent Congress  and  Administration — if  those  who  now 
sway  tlie  financial  interests  of  the  country  cannot  see 
their  great  opportunity — then  new  men  must  be 
chosen  by  the  people  whom  they  can  trust  to  make 
laws,  and  ejcecnte  measures  that  "shall  secure  the 
blessings  of  liberty  to  themselves  and  their  pos- 
terity.'^

TUE  LQXDqX  FOCRiy-SsyD  CLUB. 
The  London  Pall  MjU  Gazette  of  July  1 U  says : 

"The  second! meet! of  the  Pour-in-Haud  Club  was  to 
have  been  held  in  JHydo  Park  a  fortnight  ago,  but  it 
was  postponed  at  the  last  moment,  as  some  objec- 
tions were  raised  to  the  assembly  of  coaches  at  thoiv 
accustomed  place,  |upon  tho  ground  that  they  inter- 
fered with  tho  ordinary  traflic.  The  committee  of 
the  club,  which,  in:  addition  to  the  DuVe  of  Beaufort, 
who  act^as  President,  consist*  of  the  Duke  of  Suth- 
erland, Lord  Londonderry,  Lord  Seftou.  Lord  Mac- 
clesfield, Lord  Londesborough,  Lord  Wenlock,  and 
Lord  Aveiand,  met  to  consider  what  was  best  to  be 
done  under  the  circumstances,  and  after  some  discus- 
sion decided  to  assemble  in  Belgrave- square.  The 
meet  was  fixed  forjG  o'clock  yestemay  afternoon,  but 
it  was  not  until  half  an  hour  afterward  that  the 
IG  coaches  which  turned  out  on  this  oc- 
casion had  got  into  line.  The  Duke  of 
Beaufort's^  coa'^Ii.  driven  by  Lord  Arthur  Somer- 
set, took  the  lea  i,  and  tlie  box-seat  was  occupied  by 
the  Prince-of  WaVs,  who.  with  the  Duke  of^  Beau- 
fort and  Lady  Westmorland,  drove  down  to  the 
Crystal  Palace.  Next  in  order  came  the  coaches  of 
Lord  Abingdon,  Sir  Michael  Shaw  .Stevr.irt.  Lord 
Helmsley.  and  Lord  Londesboronzh.  Mr.  Adrian 
Hope's  and  Lord  Macduff's  browns.  Lord  Carinsrton's 
mixed  team  of  three  browns  aud  a  bay,  and  Mr.  F. 
VilUers'  bays  were  also  much  admired,  while  among 
the  other  coaches  which  came  to  the  meet  were  those 
of  Lord  Castlereagh.  Lord  Tredegar,  .ind  Lord  Mac- 
clesfield. The  arrangement  was  that,  after  making  a 
circuit  of  Belgrave-souare  for  the  benefit  of  specta- 
tors, the  coaches  sluJuld  drive  to  the  Crystal  Palace, 
but  not  more  than  half  of  them  went  the  whole  way, 
tho  threatening  appearance  of  the  weather  deterring 
several  of  the  older  members." 


CHILDREN  OF  DRUNKEN  PARENTS. 
THE  SOCIETY  FOR  THE  PREVENTION  OF 
CRCELTY  TO  CHILDREN  INTERFERE  FOR 
THEIR  PROTECTION — THREE  OP  THEM 
SENT  TO  THE  CATHOLIC  PROTECTORY. 
Information  was  sent  to  the  office  of  the  So- 
ciety for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Children  yes- 
terday morning,  that  three  children  living  at  No.  341 
East  Thirty-first-street  were  In  peril  of  their  lives 
from,  drunken  parents.  Edward  Chiardl,  an  officer  of 
the  society,  started  in  quest  of  the  children,  and 
found  one  of  them,  Annie  Lynch,  11  years  old,  in  a 
neighboring  house,  she  having  been  driven  from 
home.  Mr.  Chiardl  then  proceeded  to  the  child's 
home,  and  was  met  on  the  sidewalk  by  Mary  LjTich, 
her  mother,  who  emerged  from  the  house  cutting  her 
finger  naUs  with  a  table  knife.  The  woman  demanded 
his  business,  and  after  a  few  words  attempted  to  stab 
him.  She  then  ran  into  the  house  and  fastened  the 
door.  Mr.  Chiardi  called  an  officer,  broke  open  the  door, 
and  arrested  the  woman  after  a  slight  slamiish.  He 
also  took  charge  of  the  other  two  children — ilary 
Fitzstmmons,  aged  10,  and  her  sister  Katy,  some  two 
years  younger.  In  the  afternoon  the  party  appeared 
before  Justice  Morgan,  in  the  Pifty-seventn-Street 
Police  Court.  While  Mr.  Chiardi  was  stating  the 
case,  ilrs.  Lynch.'  who  sat  some  distance  back,  and 
who  was  evidently  very  drmik.  called  out  several 
times  for  permission  to  speak  to  "mister."  At 
leneth  she  was  called  forward  and  invited  to  explain. 
The  burden  of  her  story  was  that  when  she  saw  the 
complainant  having  her  child  by  the  hand  she  '"  didn't 
know  whether  he  was  a  gentleman,  or  a  loafer,  or  a 
kidnapper,  ora  blackguMd.  or  what  he  was."  and  she 
proceeded  to  repeat  the  forcible  langnage  in  which 
she  ordered  him  to  release  the  child.  She  wa-s  not 
disposed  to  step  down  when  the  Judge  told  her  to. 
and  was  assisted  by  an  officer.  She  turned  upon  bim 
with  a  fearful  volley  of  oaths  and  struck  him  a  vio- 
lent blow  with  her  fi-st.  She  was  then  taken 
down  stairs  by  the  assistance  of  several  officers. 
Annie  Lynch  told  the  Judge  that  her  father  was  in 
Sing  Sing  for  steaHng  a  coat,  and  that  her  mother 
was  always  drunk  aud  abusive.  The  child  had  once 
been  in  the  Catholic  Protectory,  and  wanted  to  go 
there  again.  The  elder  of  tne  Fitzsimmons  eirls  «aid 
her  father  was  on  Blackwell's  Island.  Mrs.  Fitz- 
simmons appeared  and  demanded  her  children,  but 
the  J»dge  was  not  satisfied  with  her  appearance,  and 
declined  to  release  them  until  she  should  prove  her- 
self a  fit  person  to  care  for  them.  Tho  children 
were  committed  to  the  Protectory,  and  3Irs.  Lynch 
was  sent  to  the  Island  for  two  months.  One  of  the 
officers  in  court  said  he  had  known  the  woman  as  an 
habitual  drunkard  for  12  or  14  years. 


BXjDDHIST    AXD    COXFUCTAy   REVIVALS. 
The  Pall  Mall  Gazette  of  July  19  says:    "  The 

efforts  of  Christian  missionaries  In  China  have,  tl>e 
Celestial  Empire  says,  h.'id  one  very  curious  and.  we 
may  be  sure,  unexpected  result.  They  have  inspired 
native  theologians  with  a  similar  idea  of  propagand- 
ism.  In  the  South,  we  are  assured,  priests  have 
adopted  the  same  means  of  spreading  the  doctrines 
of  their  creeds  aa  the  mi-sslonaries,  and  proselj'tiring 
agencies  have  been  formed,  principally  amolbg  the 
Buddhists,  numbers  of  whose  clergy  seem  to  have  in- 
stituted a  sort  of  revival  movement.  Thev  preach  at 
wayside  temples  and  about  the  st*&ets,  and  it  is  said 
that  the  practice  has  evien  spread  to  the  ranks  of  Con- 
fucianists.  Certain  it  is  that  a  very  active  Buddhist 
mission  has  been  establlslied  in  Shanghai,  and  that  it 
is  working  \*igorotLsly.  Preachlntr  is  catrie^i  on  daily 
at  the  Japanese  t-emple  in  the  Peking  road,  and,  as 
we  know,  the  scope  of  their  operations  is  being  rap- 
idly enlarged,  while  Confucian  •5)reachers  may  be 
Boen,  though  not  in  Shanghai,  standing  in  open  places 
and  at  street  comers  expounding  the  doctrines  of  the 
Chung-yung  and  the  Ta-nsioli  with  all  the  fervor  of  a 
foreign'missionary.  Of  course.  Buddhism  is  one  of 
the  missionary  religions  of  the  world,  while  Confu- 
cianism is  as  certainly  not ;  but  the  fact  as  concerns 
both  is  very  remaritable,  and  deserves  a  passing 
word."  '        

WAXTEB  iSE  CATS  EYE. 
The  Sacramento  (Cal.)  Union  relates  this 
story:  "  A  few  evenings  since  a  little  Sacramento 
boy,  about  five  years  of  age,  ran  to  his  mother  crying 
because  the  cat  had  scratched  his  face  and  hands 
Ticious'ly.  His  mother,  after  petting  him  a  little  to

em  District  of  Tennessee,  against  the  City  of  Mem- 
phis, made  application  on  the  law  side  of  that  conrt 
for  a  mandMnus  requiring  the  city  and  its  Mayor 
and  General  Council  to  levy  and  collect  a  tax  for  the 
paj-ment  of  the  amount  due  him.  In  this  appli- 
cation the  name  of  the  person  then  holding 
the  office  of  Mayor  was  given,  and  also 
the  names  of  the  persons  who  constituted 
the  General  Coancil.  An  alternative  writ  was  issued, 
and  the  parties  named  all  appeared  by  the  City  Attor- 
ney and  showed  cause  against  the  application.  March 
30.  1875.  a  final  judgment  was  entered  in  the  cause, 
"by  which  it  was  ordered  and  adjudged  that  a  per- 
emptorj*  writ  nf  mandamus  should  issue,  command- 
ing the  City  of  Memphis  and  its  said  General  Council 
to  proceed  ea^^h  vear  for  the  then  ensuing  throe 
years— 1875.1876.  and  1877— to  levy  a  tax.  In  addi- 
tion to  all  other  taxes  allowed  by  law 
to        be  levied.         sufficient       in         amount 

to  realize  $125,000  each  year  for  the 
years  1875  and  1S76.  and  for  the  year  1377.  to 
realize  a  sum  sufficient  to  pay  whatever  mighjt  then 
remain  unpaid  of  the  said  decree.  It  was  further 
ordered  that  the  said  Clerk  of  said  court,  whenever 
the  said  Brown  should  request  the  same,  should  is-sne 
each  year  during  the  years  1S75.  1876,  and  1S77, 
respectively,  a  j^remptorj*  writ  of  mandamus,  in  .ac- 
cordance with  sftid  judgment,  to  be  sen"ed 
on  the  City  of  Memphis  aud  its  Mayor,  and 
General  Council,  in  the  manner  pre'icri>»ed' by  law. 
Flippin  became  Mayor  of  the  city,  and  the  o'ther  pe- 
tltjoners  herein,  members  of  the  General  Council. 
Jan.  15,  1376.  and  M;.y  24  following,  the  Clerk  of 
the  court,  at  the  ri-ouest  of  Brown,  issued  a  pereinp- 
tory  writ,  returnable  the  fourth  Monday  in  Novem- 
ber, directed  to  the  city  and  to  the  petitioners  bv 
name,  as  Mayor  and  members  of  the  General  Coun 
cil,  requiring  them  to  levv  the  adjnd-riHl 
tax  for  the  year  1376.  '  Nov.  27,  1376. 
ilie  petitioners  moved  the  court  "  to  set 
aside  and  quash'"  this  writ,  for  the  reason 
in  substance,  that  they  were  not  parties  to  the  judg- 
ment upon  which  it  was  issued.  This  motion  was 
denied,  Dec.  14.  1S76,  and  the  court,  by  proreedin;; 
against  the  petitioners  for  contempt  in  fHilingto 
obey  the  writ,  is  now  endeavoring  to  comjiel  them  to 
perform  the  duties  enjoined  by  the  Judgment  upon 
the  City  and  M.iyor  and  General  Coun<iI.  Pending 
these  proceedings  this  application  Is  made  here  for  a 
mandamus  requiring  the  Judge  of  the  Circuit  Court 
to  quash  the  writ.  The  writ  comphuned  of 
was  one  of  execution,  to  carry  into  effct  th-.- 
judgment  in  tho  original  suit  for  mandamu*. 
"The  jurisdiction  of  the  court  is  not  exhanste<l  by 
the  rendition  of  its  judgment,  but  continues  until  the 
judgment  is  satistied.  (Wn>Tuaji  vs.  Southard,  10 
Wheat..  23.)  "  I*rocess  subsequent  to  juilirnient  i.^; 
as  essential  to  jurisdiction  as  process  airterior  to 
judgment,  else  tlie  judicial  power  would  be  in- 
complete and  entirely  inadequate  to  the  iu:r- 
poses  for  whifh  it  was  conferred  by  the  Con- 
stitution." (Rlggs  vs.  Jolmson  County.  6 
Wall.,  187.)  But  if  tho  court  ha.'s  inrisdiction  to 
issue  process  it  has  necessarily  .iurisdiction  to  decide 
as  to  its  appropriate  form.  Here  the  proce?*?  ha** 
been  issued,  and  the  conrt,  npon  motion,  has  decided 
that  it  was  good  in  form  and  ought  not  to  be  qua.slied. 
Of  this  decision  the  tw-tUloners  complain,  and  seek  to 
have  it  reversed.  Tliis  we  cannot  do  by  mandamu!*. 
Under  that  form  of  procedure  we  may  compel 
an  inferior  conrt  to  decide  upon  a  matter 
within  its  jurisdiction  and  pending  before  it 
for  judicial  determination,  but  -  we  cannot 
contnw  its  decision.  Neither  can  we  in  that  way  compel 
the  inferior  court  to  reverse  a  decision  which  it  has 
made  in  the  exercise  of  its  legitimste  jurisdiction. 
Tliat  Is  the  office  of  a  writ  of  error  or  an  appeal,  in 
cases  to  which  such  proceeding  applies,  but  not  of  a 
writ  of  mandamus.  If  there  Is  anj-thing  in  the  case 
of  McCargo  vs.  Chapman  {20  How.,  5.57)  to  the  con- 
trary of  thi<»,  it  is  disapproved.  Petition  denied.

COURT  NOTES, 


POWEIi  OF  DISTRICT  COVRTS. 

In  the  ca.se  of  Halpin  against  Flanagan,  where 
the  plaintiff  sought  to  enjoin  Justice  Gedney  from 
opening  the  default  raatle  10  years  ago  ind  trying 
the  cause.  Justice  Van  Uoesen  has  denied  tho  appli- 
cation, with  costs  against  the  plaintiff.  It  will  be  re- 
membewd  that  a  writ  of  prohibition  was  applied  for 
from  Judge  Westbrook  to  restrain  Justice  Gedney.  and 
that  also  was  denied, the  Judge  indoraingin  the  papers. 
'•  Motiott  denied,  as  the  doing  of  the  act  of  Justice  Ged- 
ney would  work  nu  soch  injury  as  would  warrant  the 
extraordinary  writ  applied  for."  A^ain  an  onier 
was  applied  for  by  the  plaintiff,  and  again  Judge 
Westbrook  sustained  Justice  Gedney. 

The  whole  question  was  whether  a  District  Court 
Justice  had  power  after  10  years'  default  to  open  a 
judgment.  The  spirit  of  the  rulings  of  both  Judges 
Westbrook  and  %  an  Hoesen  seem  to  he  that  the 
opening  of  such  default  is  entirely  a  discretionary 
matter  with  the  court.  Upon  the  affid.tv'ts  offered 
to  Justire  Gedney  he  concluded  to  open  the  def;»uit. 
and  he  has  thus  been  sustatned.  J.  J.  Reilly.  Esq., 
for  the  plain ;iff :  John  Jeroioman.  Esq..  for  the  de- 
fendant, aud  Hon.  J.  C.  Julius  Lajigbein  for  Justice 
Gedney.

order  from  the  court  reqtiiring  him  to  do  so.  The 
absence  of  any  attempt  to  bail  Donahue  created  some 
sur^jrLse,  as  certain  -  so-called  labor  organizations 
had  expres-sed  great  syinpathj-  for  him,  and  it  was 
thought  that  ilipy  woilld  procure  the  necessary  bail,

B)r.RTAL  OF  MRS.  SARAH  R.  GRAY. 
The  New-Haven  t/oHPHaZ  and  Courier  ot  Thurs- 
day morning  says :  *•  Mr.s.  Sarah  H.  Gray,  of  Brook- 
lyn. N.  Y. ,  who  died  suddenly  last  week,  at  her  Sum- 
mer lodgings,  in  Longmeadow,  was  a  daughter  of 
Hon.  John  Phillips,  of  Boston,  and  a  sister  of 
Wendell  Phillips,  through  whom  the  ancient  family 
name  has  received  added  distinction.  She  was  first 
married  to  Rev.  Francis  Jenks,  of  Boston,  who  died 
bi  New- York  in  1832.  Several  years  after  his  death 
she  was  married  again  to  Prof.  Alonzo  Gray,  then  of 
Andover.  afterward  founder  aud  President  of  a  ladies' 
seminary  in  Brookiyn.  Since  the  death  of  Prof. 
Gray,  in  1860,  she  has  continaed  to  reside  in  that 
city,  to  which  she  was  attached  by  many  ties.  Francis, 
her  eldest  son.  is  a  lawyer  in  B^ookl\^l.  Grenville 
Tudor,  who  died  a  few  years  sin'.-e.  was  one  of  the 
most  eminent  counselors  and  advocates  at  the  Now- 
York  Bar.  Marj-  Ehvell.  her  eldest  daughter,  is  the 
wife  of  Rev.  Dr.  R.  S.  Siorrs.  .^Uice.  the  youngest  of 
hfr  fhildri'U.  is  the  wife  of  R"v.  Dr.  Fred'-Tick  H. 
Colton.  The  Springfield  R^'fuihtican.  says  :  *  Chitside 
of  her  family  circle,  too,  the  unusual  social  accom- 
plishments of  Mrs.  Gray,  and  the  engaging  grace  and 
courtesy  of  her  manner,  had  attracteil  to  her  many 
admiring  friend-i.  and  niado  her  at  homo  in  the  most 
rellned  nnd  cultured  households.  There  ivill  be 
many  in  Brooklvni  and  elsewhere  to  fc^el  a  sense  of 
personal  loss  as  the  news  of  Imr  sudden  death  shall 
reach  them.  A  slight  paralytic  stroke  in  February 
last  had  for  a  time  fettereil  and  enfeebled  her,  both 
in  body  and  mind.  But  she  hud  iji  a'good  degree  re- 
covered from  this,  and  was  able  to  come,  a  fort- 
night since,  to  her  Summer  quarters  at  Long- 
meadow.  On  the  morning  of  the  day  <iu 
wliich  she  died,  Monday.  Julv  23.  she  had 
walked  with  her  datighter  under  the  elms,  along  the 

?uiet  and  shaded  walks  ^-ith  which  she  had  beeu  long 
iiniiliar:  but  in  the  afternoon  the  summons  came, 
and  siio  sank  peacefully,  without  pain,  into  the  last 
sleep.'  The  funeral  services  were  held  at  Long-. 
Tjiendow  on  Wednesilay  nfteruoon.  and  were  con- 
ducted by  Rov.  Mr.  Hanling,  Pastor  of  the  church, 
nnd  Rev.  Mr.  Eusiis,  of  Springfield,  formerly  of 
Nc-w-Haven.  Tho  dispersion  of  city  households  at 
this  season,  with  the  special  hindrances  to  travel  on 
that  and  the  preceding  days,  made  the  attendance 
from  abroad  s;nallor  tuan  it  would  otherwis"?  have 
been,  yet  the  htmse  was  filled  with  affe'-tionate 
mourners.  Tlie  sunny  close  of  the  long  .Summer  day 
seemed  n  time  most  meet  for  the  burial  of  one  whose 
life  hnd  covered  7S  years,  atid.  in  spiteof  great  griefs, 
had  been  in  the  main  so  sheltered  and  tranquil :  and 
the  face  of  the  deceased  la«ly,  as  she  lay  in  the  cas- 
ket, was  crowned  with  a  placid  and  queenly  beauty 
whii'h  even  the  fairest  years  of  her  youtli  could 
scarcely  have  surj^assed." 


2TR.  LEACn  EXFLAIXS. 
Ex-Congressmau  James  M.  Leach,  of  North 
Carolina,  ha-;  written  another  letter,  explaining  that 
which  ho  recently  wrote  favoring  the  President's 
policy.  In  this  lattr-r  epistle  he  says  ;  "I  tell  yon, 
Sir.  Iliero  is  an  ominous  fatality  attending  violent 
partisans  nnd  sectional  extremists  in  this  conntr>- 
that  fills  me  with  horror,  and  that  the  millions  shud-

During  the  present  Bionth  the  Society  ot

Madrid  the  hundredth  anuiversarj'  of  the  formatitA 
of  the  organization. 

The  internal  friction  of  hard  black  pitch  has 
been  ascertained  by  M.  Vou  Obermayer,  of  Vienna, 
to  follow  the  same  laws  as  flobi  friction,  bat  he  has 
not  been  able  to  determine  whether  less  \iscous  sub- 
stances are  similarly  rcsulalcd  in  that  respect. 

British,  astronomers  have  made  eLiborate 
pi«parationB  for  determining  the  solar  parallax  at  the 
approaching  opposition  of  Mars,  by  obijerring  the 
diurnal  i>arallax  of  the  planet,  :Mr.  Gill  has  gone  tc 
the  Island  of  Ascension  and  Mr.  Green  to  Madeira. 

It  is  asserted  tliat  the  Porlu;ii:e*-e  .'Vfrican  ex- 
ploration expedition,  under  the  direction  of  Major 
Pinto  and  Capt.  Capeilo,  which  has  le:l  for  Liooado, 
is  the  best  that  haa  ever  been  organized,  from  a  scden- 
tlfic  point  of  view,  and  most  valuable  xesulrs  are  ex- 
pected from  it. 

The  asbestos  found  in  the  Valley  of  Aosta 
is  being  converted  in  the  Tivoli  paper  mills 
into  a  fire-proof  fabric  w^hleli  can  be  sold  very 
cheaply,  and  which  Is  expacte.l  lo  be  largely  ntilbie<l 
in  buildings,  such  as  theatres  and  churches,  where  a 
fire  may  cause  a  great  loss  ot  life. 

An  aquamarine  found  iu  Perthshire.  Scot.

Great  Britain.  It  belonged  to  liu'  collection  of  I'rf»f. 
Rose,  and  weighed  117  karal.s.  li  bus  been  cnt.intc_ 
three  pieces,  one  of  wh>l:  weighs  37oio  grams.  One

An  article  iu  the  .SVh-^'wi,  a  new  Chinese 

journal  estabUsUod  at  ShangUai.  uirikes  a  strong  a;*-. 
ucal  for  tho  re\'ival  of  !icien-aii(i„Jesearoii  in  China, 
aud  it  seeks  to  excito  the  scholars  ot  the  present  -Lty 
to  emulate  thosd  of  the  Uau  and  Snag  dynastie-s, 
who  did  so  much  toward  tho  exploraiiou  of  ibij 
mysteries  of  uatore,  but  who,  nevertheless,  left  a 
grt^t  deal  to  be  still  disclosed.  '  i 

M.  Du  Moncel,  of  the  ,\c:idamy  of  S:^iences, 
Paris,  in  a  paper  on  the  tran^mis^iion  of  ttU-cTrlrity- 
tlirough  the  earth  by  means  of  trees.  :ia>-s  that  the 
contact  of  leaves  with  lek-graph  wires  du'.*s  not  great- 
ly affect  the  current;  as  the  resistance  of  a  tree  varit-s 
from  200,000  to  400,000  kilometres  of  telegraph 
wire.  The  resistance  of  the  trunk  at  a  height  of  7 
to  S  meters  iiardly  exceeds  3.000  kilomotros.  aad 
varies  from  2,000  to  7,OlX>  kilometriis  between 
small  electrodes. 

Another  striking  instance  of  the  reluctance  of 
animals  to  eat  food  different  from  that  to  wliicli  they 
had  been  accustomed  wliile  yonug,  .la-s  beeu  furaishe^l 
to  the  Xature  by  Mr.  T.  Coniish.  of  Penzance,  iSng- 
land,hesay8:  "I  once  had  a  iK>ny  bom  and  bn-d 
on  Dartmoor,  which  had  neverseen  oats  uwtil  rv-camd 
hito  my  father's  stable  in  the  fourth  year  of  its  age, 
and  it  refused  them.  We  induced  it  to  eat  oats  by 
mixing  them  with  hay  and  grad:ially  reducing  the 
quantity  of  hay  imtil  the  oats  preJomiuated.'' 

Prof.  Bastian,  the  champion  of  "  sj^odtaneous 
generation,"  has  not  been  silenced  by  the  rcniiirfcoblo 
and  careful  experiments  conducted  by  Prof.  T^-adall, 
and  which  conclusively  disposed  of  the  Basllan 
theory.  He  has  just  submitted  to  the  Linnean  So- 
ciety a  paper  in  which — as  an  examjde  of  the 
strength  of  his  belief  in  opposition  to  Prof.  Txiitla]! — 
he  says  that  instances  of  fermentation  have  occurred 
in  liquids  heated  to  more  than  -30^  Fahrenheit ! 
But  Prof.  Bastian  is  not  remarkable  for  the  rigid  na- 
ture of  his  tests  or  for  the  accuracy  of  his  observa- 
tions. 

Important  legislation  isproposedbvtheltatiaa 
Senate.  An  act  is  sought  to  be  passed  compelling 
private  persons  to  make  their  art  treasures  accessi- 
ble to  students,  prohibiting  the  destruction  of  any 
object  of  artistic  or  antiquarian  value,  aud  insisting. 
upon  the  formal  registration  of  existing  monuments. 
and  the  prompt  notification  to  the  Govemment^of  all 
articles  found  in  conducting  excavations.  Tne  Gov-' 
eminent  may  take  charge  of  important  relics  which 
may  be  discovered  ;  and  it  will  also  be  empowered  to 
restore  stractures  of  a  past  age  which  may  be  faUiuj

The  -VafMrs  contains  an  interestini?  abstract 
of  the  address  delivered  on  the  Stiilldalen  meteorite 
by  Prof.  Nordenskgold,  at  the  anniversary  of  the 
Royal  Swedish  Academy  of  Sciences.  An  analysis  of 
the  fragments  into  which  the  meteorite  burst  gave 
nickel-iron,  olivine,  bronrite,  magnetic  pyrites,  and 
small  portions  of  phosphide  of -nickel -iron,  and  of  the 
phosphate  and  the  chloride  of  iron.  Nickel-iron  is 
not  known  to  be  of  terrestrial  origin,  and  olivine  and* 
bronzite  are  usually  found  iu  those  rocks  which  are 
said  to  be  of  plutonic  origin,  and  the  Professor  is  in- 
clined to  believe  that  the.  question  is  ripe  for  discus- 
sion whether  a  part  of  the  plutonic  rocks  did  not  fall 
to  the  earth  after  its  surface  waa  occupied  by  ani- 
mals and  plants.  ^ 

BIr.  William,  Carrutbers  sees  no  reason  in  any- 
thing which  his  opponents  have  submitted  to  alter 
the  opinions  he  had  previously  expressed  with  regard 
to_the  bearing  of  fossil  plants  to  the  doctrine  of  evo- 
lution. He  has  reissued  the  addresses  delivered  by 
him  as  President  of  the  Geolo^sts'  Association,  Grerit 
Britain,  and  i-easserts  that  the  whole  evidence  sap- 
plied  by  fossil  plants  is  opposed  to  the  hj-potbesis  of 
genetic  evolution.  There  are  no  forms  of  plants  dis- 
covered Intermediate  between  existing  classes  or 
families.  On  the  contrar>\  highly  organized  plants 
have  suddenly  and  simultaneously  appeared  at  par- 
ticular periods  durirg  the  past  history  of  the  globo. 
The  rocks  give  no  hint  as  to  the  origin  of  either  ani- 
mals or  plants ;  they  simply  record  tho  nature  of  past 
existences.       .- 

A  variety  of  the  telephone,  invented  by  Mr. 
Cromwell  Varley,  has  beeu  on  exhibition  in  London. 
The  principal  feature  of  the  histraniL'nt  is  a  lai^^o 
condenser  connected  to  the  secondary  of  an  induc- 
tion coil,  having  tho  primary  current  made  intermit- 
tent by  the  use  of  a  tnning-fork.  This  condenser, 
IS  by  12  inches,  is  placetl  in  front  of  a  <lrumhead  >o 
chat  the  sound  may  be  intensitled.  The  apprinrtus 
generally  is  a  modification  of  the  kind  used  in  multi- 
ple telegraphy.  As  it  stands  at  present,  it  is  of  rarle 
importance  compared  T^th  tho  speaking  telephone  of 
Prof.  A.  Graham  Ball,  but  some  of  Its  fejttures  may 
be  combined  with  the  Bell  invention  and  prola'^a 
good  results.  Mr.  Vnrley,  however,  promises  t--  sub- 
mit a  speaking  telephone  also  in  a  short  time,  an-l 
perhaps  it  may  give  evidence  of  some  more  decided 
advantages  over  the  inventians  made  on  this  side  ot 
the  Atlantic. 

Prof.  Huxley,  in  the  paper  read  by  him  Ikj- 
fore  the  Domestic  Economy  C'.mgress.  held  in  Bir- 
mingham, England,  attributed  the  absence  of  lic-iny 
belief  in  the  value  of  an  acquaintance  with  the  law4 
of  health  and  disease,  and  the  couse-iuent  absenc*  of 
foresight  and  care  based  on  such  kuuwle-lge.  to  a 
lurking  belief  that  natural  causatlo!!  .lot-s  n-it  upcrnt.o 
in  the  human  body  as  uninterruptedly  as  elsewhere. 
He  asserts  that  the  evidence  is  vast  and  increasing 
*•  that  birth  aud  death,  health  and  disease,  a-e  as  much 
parts  of  the  ordinary  stream  of  events  as  the  rising 
and  sotting  of  the  sun  or  the  changes  of  the  m''>on  ; 
and  that  the  liring  body  is  a  mechanism,  the  pr'»j)ei 
working  of  which  we  term  health;  its  disturbance, 
disease ;  and  its  stoppage,  death."  The  definition* 
by  analogy  given  to  health,  disease,  aud  death  are, 
perhaps,  the  l>e.st  that  have  yet  been  framed. 

At  the  July  meeting  of  the  American  Philosoph- 
ical Society  a  very  important  paper  wa"?  read  on  tlie 
"  Discovery  of  Oxygen  in  the  Sun  and  a  new  Tlieory 
cf  the  Solar  Specimm,"  by  Prof.  Henry  r>nper. 
Tho  bodies  hitherto  known  to  exist  In  tiie  sun  have 
been  metallic^  but  Prof.  Draper's  photographi'.*  re- 
search shows  that  the  non-metiUs  are  also  found  in 
that  body.  The  method  of  research  is  entirely  new, 
and  will  be  fertile  in  further  disroveries.  It  depen<bs 
essentially  on  tlie  fact  tUut  wJiile  it  is  well  known 
that  the  solar  spectrum  is  crossed  by  dark  line*,  in- 
dicating ignited  metallic  vapors,  thert^are  also  bright 
lifies,  which  are  due  to  ignited  non-metallic  bodies, 
such  as  oxygen,  nitrogen,  sulphur.  Belenl'uai,  chlo- 
rine. Iodine,  bromine.  &c.  It  is  singular  that  thii 
discovery  haa  not  been  made  before,  becauw?  the 
bright  lines  iu  the  spcctrnm  of  the  disk  of  the  aui

The  Daily  Times  consists  of

tr  in  its  complete  form,  and  any 
should  be  reported  at  thepublica- 


The  S^tal  Service  Bureau  reports  indicate

The  plain,  |  unvarnished  tale  supplied  by 
our  special  correspondent  now  among  the 
Pennsylvania  miners  cannot  be  read  with  in- 
^ififerenee  by  any  just  or  humane  man.  We 
"speak  of  "  hatd  times  "  when  it  becomes  ne- 
cessary to  foilego  some  luxury,  to  deny  our- 
selves some  fftmiliar  pleasure,  and  to  reduce 
our  general  standard  of  expenditure.  We 
complain  when  pinched  to  keep  up  appear- 
ances, and  repine  at  the  hardship  which  in- 
vades our  comfort.  In  and  around  the 
toal  fields  of  an  adjoining  State,  how- 
ever, are  .  tens  of  thousands  of  work- 
ing men,  wjio,  with  their  families, 
are  on  the  verge  of  starvation.  A 
large  proportion  are  unemployed ;  those 
1  that  ha.'.e  work  are  paid  so  scantily  that 
'what  t'ney  earn  barely  keeps  soul  and  body 
togeittier.  The  picture  of  squalor  and 
wietTchedness,  of  hunger  and  nakedness,  is 
iho«;king  enough  to  touch  the  hardest  heart. 
It  5s  made  more  painful  by  the  fact  that 
some  of  the  companies  add  to  the  miseries 
oi  their  people  by  the  enforcement  of  the 
''truck  system.  TjSere  may  be  reasons  for 
suspending  work  la  some  cases,  and  for 
reducing  wages  in  others  ;  but  the  greed 
which  prompts  employers  of  labor  to  squeeze 
out  of  it  tbe  beggarly  pittance  through  the 
agency  of  store-pay  admits  of  no  excuse. 
It  is  anr  infamy  which  the  law  in  other 
eountrifcs  has  suppressed. 


^Vbat  shall  be  done  to  mitigate  the  mis- 
eries of  the  starving  mining  population  in 
the  district  of  which  Scranton  is  the  centre  ? 
There,  as  at  Pittsburg  and  other  places,  a 
vicious  fiscal  system  has  brought  together 
Vast  bodies  of  working  people  who  are  now 
•thrown  helpless  upon  the  world.  The  coal 
companies,  great  aud  small,  profited  by  the 
industrial  inflation.  They  bought  coal  lami-s 
at  high  prices.  They  opened  mines  which 
for  a  time  yielded  them  princely  revenues. 
They  divided  large  profits,  added  to  their 
capital,  and  forced  the  development  of  their 
properties.  -  To  csirry  on  their  works,  they 
brought  together  miners  from  Europe  to  an 
extent  far  in  excess  of  the  legitimate  re- 
quirements of  trade.  They  imported  them 
from  "Wales,  from  the  north  of  England, 
from  Xreland,  tempting  them  with  promise 
of  high  wages  and  lasting  employment  Can 
it  bo  pretended  that  these  corporations  have 
no  'responsibility  in  the  premises  ? — that 
they  may  cut  down  wages  to  starvation 
po  int,  or  suspend  work  altogether  without 
ftirther  care  for  thc^  whom  they  took 
'.hither  with  expectations  that  have 
not  been  fulfilled  f  Moral  responsibility 
there  certainly  is,  but  that,  unfortunately, 
does  not  admit  of  practical  application.  It 
U  not  sufficient  to  say  that  the  companies 
have  been  working  at  a  loss.  In  the  pecu- 
liar crreumstances  of  the  ease,  they  owe 
more  to  their  men  than  the  stem  economic 
law  exacts.  Exactly  what  their  obligation 
is,,  and  how  it  should  be  fulfilled,  are  ques- 
tions which  in  view  of  the  suffering  depict- 
e<J  in  other  columns  cannot  always  remain 
oroanswered.  The  Old  World  no  longer 
laces  alone  the  labor  problem.  It  is  here, 
uid  it  presses  for  a  solution. 


It  is  seldom  safe  to  believe  more  than  a 
small  part  of  the  tidings  brought  from  the  Far 
West  with  reference  to  Indians.  We  except/ 
of  course,,  the  news  that  comes  direct  from 
the  militsjy.  The  bulk  of  the  reports,  how- 
ever, reo,ch  us  through  sinister  channels,  or 
at  best  sire  mere  conjecture.  Our  Chicago 
dispatch  shows  that  this  remark  applies  to 
the  stxjries  of  Indian  incursions,  and  appre- 
hensions of  attack,  received  from  Central 
Mon^tana.  Army  oflScers  most  competent  to 
judtTje  pronounce  them  improbable,  and  as- 
Bi|rn  good  reasons  for  their  opinion.  Traced 
to  their  source,  we  might  expect  to  find 
t'hem  the  handiwork  of  men  who  profit  by 
teulitary  operations,  and  are  not  scrupulous 
as  to  the  methods  by  which  these  may  be 
rendered  necessary.  A  few  companies  of 
soldiers  would  be  a  godsend  to  Montana 
traders  and  contractors  in  more  ways  than 
one,  but  that  ia  not  a  reason  why  they  should 
be  gratified. 


'  A  correspondent,  reporting  the  result  of 
Ids  observations  at  the  Postal  Convention  in 
Vii^jnia,  emphasizes  the  unity  of  the  South - 
em  representatives  upon, three  points:  (1) 
Increased  mail  facilities ;  (2)  subsidies  for 
three  steam-ship  lines  from  Southern  ports ; 
(3)  national  aid  for  the  Southern  Pacific 
fiailxoad.    The  atatemeat  has  «otiuaK  of  the.  1 


nature  of  a  discovery.  It  is  simply  an  ex- 
pression of  feeling  in  the  aggregate 
which  has  been  distinctly  indicated 
in  varieus  Southern  States.  The  de- 
mand for  an  enlarged  postal  service 
may  or  may  not  be  justified.  On  this  head, 
the  department  is  the  proper  judge.  Eela- 
tively  speaking,  the  South  has  always  been, 
in  postal  matters,  the  most  costly  section. 
It  has  yielded  less  returns  in  proportion  to 
the  service  rendered  than  any  other.  There 
may  be  valid  economic  reasons,  therefore, 
for  withholding  any  additional  expenditm-e 
untU  called  for  by  increase  of  population  or 
industrial  development.  We  accept  the 
doctrine  that  the  Post  OfSoe  Department 
should  be  self-sustaining  only  with  certain 
important  modifications ;  but  in  the  present 
condition  of  affairs  even  the  Postmaster- 
General  may  be  constrained  to  answer  Nay 
to  the  importunities  of  places  which  con- 
sider themselves  aggrieved. 


On  the  generb.1  question  of  subsidies  the 
South  cannot  hope  to  be  successful.  Its 
Eepresentativesi  injCongress  may  proceed  on 
the  rule  that  th^y  I  should  call  for  a  great 
deal  with  the  expectation  of  obtaining  some- 
thing. But  the  magnitude  of  their  demands 
renders  firm  resistance  on  the  part  of  th'o 
North  absolutely  nbcessary.  To  yield  one 
subsidy  would  be  to  concede  a  vicious  prin- 
ciple, and  to  oplen  the  door  of  the  Treasury 
to  claims  that  would  soon  make  it  bankrupt. 
We  know  that  the  schemes  talked  of  at  Old 
Point  Comfort  emblraee  but  a  portion  of  the 
list  which  the  South  is  prepared  to  present. 
A  much  betterjcase  might  be  made  out  for 
the  Mississippi  levees  than  for  the  projected 
steam-ship  linei,  but  neither  have  any 
chance.  Were!  tlhe  country  prosperous, 
opposition  to  &ay  grant  of  money  or 
loan  of  credit  on  account  of  these  enter- 
prises would  be  expedient.  In  existing 
circumstances,  pu\  policy  that  would  aid 
them  at  the  cost  of  the  nation  would  be 
madness.  The  Government  has  in  hahd  a 
task  sufficiently  arduous.  It  is  intent  upon 
the  re-establiahinejnt  of  the  nation's  credit 
with  the  least  pofesible  inconvenience  to 
business  interests.  ]  It  has  no  credit  to  spare 
for  any  project,j  and  the  only  aid  it  can  le- 
gitimately render  is  to  the  people  in  the 
form  of  reduced  taxation.  As  to  the  Texas 
Pacific  Railroad,  Jie  must  indeed  be  blind 
to  the  signs  of  the  times  who  imagines  that 
the  country  will  tolerate  the  pretensions  of 
that  or  any  similar  corporation.  The  recent 
troubles  have  intensified  the  hostility  to  the 
scheme,  and  as  Col.  Thomas  A.  Scott  is  no 
longer  a  name  to  conjure  by,  the  last  vestige 
of  apparent  sti^en  jth  is  gone.  There  is  a 
much  greater  likelihood  of  subjecting  the 
rulers  of  railroads  i;o  stem  Federal  discijpline 
than  of  draining  tiie  Treasury  to  help  them 
out  of  their  difficulties. 


EOW  TO    FitEVENT  STRIKES. 

It  is  one  of,4he  first  practical  duties  of 
legislators  and  miauagers  of  men  to  take 
men  as  they  are,  abd  not  as  they  should  be. 
This  recent  convulsion  of  labor,  and  its 
blind  blow  at  eapi  :al,  is,  of  course,  in  many 
points  of  view  unreasonable,  aud!  wherever 
it  violated  law  should  have  been  put 
down  with  the  strong  hand.  But  masses 
of  men  without  much  education,!  land 
struggling  hard  for  a  gustenanee,- 
are  liable  to  sueli  convulsions.  Laborers 
who  receive  but  a  meagre  pittance  in  the 
distribution  of  the  profits  of  production, 
while  employers  si!em  to  grow  rich,  will  be 
always  exposed  to  discontent,  and  be  ready 
for  strikes  and  combinations.  This  has 
been  the  experience  of  other  countries,  and 
must  be  that  of  ours.  Indeed,  it  is  not  at 
all  improbable  that,  as  values  are  in  pro- 
cess of  settlement  all  over  the  world  after  a 
period  of  inflation,  this  tremor  of  laboi'  will 
reach  all  the  industrial  countries  of  Europe, 
and  produce  disastrous  strikes  and  out- 
breaks. It  may  be  that  a  future  of  much 
disturbance  among  the  laboring»classes  is 
before  the  world,  and  that  many  a  volcanic 
outburst  and  social  earthquake  will  preced.e 
the  final  settlement  and  formation  of  the 
crust  which  covers  such  forces,  and  before 
society  in  this,  the  industrial  period, .  is 
fairly  shaped  and  molded.  In  this:  couhtry, 
however,  we  meet  the  great  j  problem 
with  far  more  hope  of  its  settleiaent. 
The  immense  quantity  of  arable  land, 
and  the  consequent  possibility  of  an 
equable  distribution  of  wealth,  inake 
all  such  questions  far  less  dangerous 
here  than  in  any  other  country.  Still  even 
here  large  companies  and  individual  em- 
ployers having  considerable  bodies  of  men 
under  thepa,  must  take  into  consideration 
how  such  outbreak)  as  we  have  juSt  passed 
through  can  be  avtided.  They  are  perilous 
and  disastrous  events,  and  the  whole  coun 
try  would  gladly  le  free  from  thti  ri^k  of 
them.  I 

T^e  believe  that  ihere  is  biit  one!  mods  of 
preventing  them,  and  that  is'  by  this  simple 
and inatural  method  of  giving  laborer)  an 
interest  in  the  prosperity  of  the  coiapaiiy  or 
of  the  industrial  enterprise  in  which  they 
are  Engaged.  We  do  not  inean  necessarily 
by  co-operation  ot  by  industrial!  partner- 
ship, though  this  may  be  a  resu  t  to 
be  reached  in  the  progress  of  th6  future. 
But  for  this  much  training  and  prepa- 
ration are  needful.  We  mean  ttat  each 
railroad  and  manufacturing  coihpaiy  or 
its  ^oard  of  mmagers,  whenever  the 
yeai^'s  business  is  prosperous  and  profit;  are 
large,  should  consiler  in  their  division  the 
laborers  and  employes  as  well  as  the  s  ock 
holders  and  important  officials  ;  that  a  cer- 
tain proportion  of  profits  should  go  as  bonus 
to  labor.  And  this,  not  because  justic  3  de- 
mands it,  for  the  owners  of  the 'property 
have  a  right  to  do  what  they  will  With  their 
own,  but  because  it  Is  sound  policy  1  o  in- 
terest the  employes  and  working  men  in  the 
success  of  the  company.  A  gratuity  of  this 
nature,  or  a  percentage  on  profits,  v^ould 
have  a  remarkable  effect  on  the  'laborers, 
and  could  be  spared  in  a  prosperous  year. 
Then  when  years  like  the  present  came,  and 
the  railroads  or  factories  were  runiiing  at  a 
loss,  the  employes  would  accept  a  reduction 
as  a  natural  and  inevitable  thing,  and  would 
share  cheerfully  in  the  losses  as  they  hid  in 
the  ^ofits  of  the  company.  They  would 
feel  themselves  part  aud  parcel  of  the  in- 
terest for  which  they  labored. 

Now,  in  these  great  associations,  capital 
and  labor,  employers  and  employedj  are 
completely  separated  Undbr  the  system 
supposed  they  would  be  at  least  partially 
united.  Our  readers,  to  fully  appreciate 
the  feelings  which  have  produced  I  this 
lamentable  outbreak  among  the  railroad 
employes,,  must  put  themselves  in  their 
Tiin/iflg^    Hats  Ia  a  hard  wutkins.  f^i  P?^ 


man  who  has  served-  his  masters  many 
years;  he  has  a  family,  and  can  hardly 
"  keep  the  wolf  from  the  door"  with  his 
wages;  he  knows  that  the  roadhasWde  large 
profits,  and  he  sees  that  these  in  the  form 
of  dividends,  watered  stock,  and  high  sala- 
ries, have  gone  into  a  few  hands.  In  these 
profits  he  has  had  no  share.  Suddenly,  dur- 
ing a  bad  year,  he  gets  a  communication, 
signed  by  the  President,  who  is  enjoying 
the  millions  made  from  these  former  gains, 
that  his  small  wages  must  be  reduced  10 
per  cent.  He  cannot  see~  how  bread  is  to 
come  to  his  fanuly  with  such  pay.  Ee  has 
been  too  long  in  the  service  to  easily  find 
another  place.  Indeed,  it  may  be  that  all 
places  are  filled  in  any  occupation  which  he 
could  follow.  Burning  with  the  sense  of  in- 
justice, and  desperate,  he  is  easily  influ- 
enced by  the  wild  and  reckless  men  who  are 
always  seeking  to  lead  working  men  astray. 
He  tries  a  strike,  (which  he  has  a  perfect 
right  to  do;)  he  becomes  a  imionist,  a 
Communist,  a  rioter.  The  transition  is  easy 
and  natural.  If  he  reflects  at  all,  he  knows 
that  the  financial  Ul-suceess  of  his  road  has 
hot  been  due  to  his  neglect  or  failure.  It 
has  been  owing  to  the  foolish  ambition  of 
its  President,  in  building  branch  roads,  or 
to  the  greed  of  speculators  in  watering  its 
fetock,  or  to  similar  causes.  Had  he  ever 
enjoyed  a  share  in  its  prosperity,  he  would 
be  willing  now  to  accept  a  portion  in  its 
hiisfortanes.  Under  such  feelings  and  eon- 
petions  ail  outbreak  is  inevitable.  The 
strike  will  be  worth  all  it  has  cost,  if  it  will 
change  all  this  and  tend  to  put  labor  in  a 
more  reasonable  relation  with  capital,  and 
thus  avert  some  of  the  dangers  whiijh  have 
just  showed  their  front  so  formidably. 


VALIDITY  OF  CITT  ASSESSMEXTS. 
Almost  unnoticed  except  by  those  imme- 
iately  concerned,  the  Court  of  Appeals  a 
ew  weeks  ago  passed  upon  a  test  case  in- 
olving  the  validity  and  finality  of  city  as- 
essments  upon  particular  property,  and  a 
eview  of  the  case  may  not  be  amiss  at  the 
present  time.  Many  years  ago,  in  1861, 
about  the  time  the  making  and  the  location 
of  Prospect  Park  in  Brooklyn  had  been  de- 
cided upon,  the  largest  owner  of  property 
on  Third-street  in  that  city  joined  with 
other  persons  interested  to  have  the  street 
f '  improved,"  the  argument  being  that  an  un- 
settled but  desirable  section  would  thus  be 
opened  for  settlement,  that  the  street  could 
be  made  a  great  thoroughfare  leading  to  the 
park,  and  the  proposed  improvement  would 
be  a  public  benefit,  &c.  In  short,  the  idea 
was  the  "  boulevard "  one.  The  cit.v  was 
iasked  to  advance  the  money  and  take  its 
chances  of  repayment  by  assessments  on 
the  property  on  the  line  of  the  street,  and  it 
was  claimed  there  could  be  no  risk  in  this, 
because  the  property  was  ample  security, 
and  the  owners  could  not  be  expected  to  ob- 
ject to  repaying  an  advance  by  which  their 
property  had  been  so  greatly  appreciated. 
So,  despite  the  objections  of  old-fashioned 
people  that  if  every  word  of  this  were  true 
it  only  showed  that  the  property-owners, 
and  not  the  city,  should  do  the  work,  the 
former  successfully  applied  to  the  Legisla- 
ture for  their  bill  and  got  their  "  special 
commission,"  selected  by  themselves,  to  su- 
pervise the  matter.  Up  to  that  time  con- 
tractors on  local  improvements  had  been 
paid  in  city  certificates  of  indebtedness, 
which  were  payable  only  on  the  collection 
of  the  assessments  by  the  city ;  this  policy 
was  then  abandoned  for  the  one  since  fol- 
lowed there  aud  in  Xew-York.  the  city  issu- 
ing its  bonds  uncomlitionally,  and  itself 
taking  all  risks  of  collection. 

This  special  commission  was  the  leader  of 
many  others  which  followed  successively. 
Third-street  was  duly  improved ;  it  became 
a;  fashionable  drive-way  to  the  Park,  aud  for 
a  time  the  prospects  of  success  were  fair. 
Then  other  streets  became  gradually  pre- 
ferred as  Park  approaches.  Third-street 
ceased  to  attract  either  travel  or  population, 
and  the  scheme  became  an  utter  failure. 
Then,  of  course,  the  city  began  to  look  about 
for  repajTueut,  and  the  property-owners, 
equally  of  course,  began  to  say  that  they 
were  unable  to  meet  their  assessments,  and 
that  they  had  grave  doubts  whether  the 
whole  business  had  not  been  conducted  in 
an  illegal  and  irregular  manner,  but  that  the 
assessment  was  at  least  "  excessive  "  they 
were  perfectly  certain.  The  technical  law- 
yer appeared  aud  began  splitting  hairs  with 
accustomed  nicety,  the  City  Corporation, 
fearful  to  press  the  matter  lest  the  case 
should  be  lost  on  technical  grounds,  letting 
the  bonds  stand  and  paWng  interest  thereon. 
The  uncollected  assessments  thus  remained 
for  several  years  a  ' '  cloud  "  on  the  title  to 
property  on  the  street,  and  then  a  compro- 
mise was  effected,  in  1SC9,  the  owners 
agreeing  to  repay  the  advance  in  twenty  an- 
nual installiUents,  the  city  having  the  right 
to  include  each  installment  in  the  regular 
tax-bil).  In  1871  the  tax  on  the  property 
of  one  WiLLi.\M  Guest  was  $24S  89,  and 
the  installment  was  $207  11.  Neither  be- 
ing paid,  the  property  was  sold  July  1, 
1873,  but  Guest  sued  to  set  aside  the  pur- 
chaser's title ;  the  purchaser  declined  to  ap- 
pear in  the  action,  thus,  of  course,  losing  his 
right  to  a  conveyance,  but  leaving  the  city 
a  test  case,  which  it  must  push  successfully 
or  else  suffer  final  defeat  as  to  the  whole  as- 
sessment. The  plaintiff  argued  that  all  the 
acts  of  the  Legislature  on  the  subject,  from 
1860  to  1869,  were  unconstitutional,  and 
that  the  assessment  was  invalidated  by  the 
various  ireegularities  committed. 

The  Eeferee  sustained  this  'Yiew ;  the 
General  Term  of  "the  Suj)reme  Court  re- 
versed his  decision,  and  the  case  then  went 
to  the  Court  of  Appeals.  Before  that,  as 
before  the  previous  courts,  the  city  urged 
the  constitutionality  and  regularity  of  the 
proceedings,  claiming  that,  by  the  compro- 
mise act  of  1869,  all  prior  proceedings  were 
confirmed,  and  the  amount  of  the  assess- 
ment virtually  relevied  by  the  taxing  power 
of  the  State,  and  that,  aside  from  the  ques- 
tion of  legality,  no  court  had  any  jurisdic- 
tion to  entertain  questions  of  this  charac- 
ter. The  Court  of  Appeals,  by/ Chief- Jus- 
tice Chuech,  decided  in  favor  of  the  city 
on  the  latter  ground,  saying  that  "an  ac- 
tion in  equity  will  not  lie  to  review  the  pro- 
ceedings of  municipal  officers,  or  to  correct 
irregularities  anS  errors  which  may  have 
been  committed;  It  may  be  affirmed  as  a 
result  of  the  authorities  that  there  is  no 
recognized  head  of  equitable  jurisdiction 
for  reviewing  directly  the  proceedings  of 
subordinate  tribunals  and  officers  in  laying 
out,  opening,  and  improving  streets  and 
avenues,  or  in  laying  assessments  and  taxes 
therefor,  or  to  correct  errors  therein,  or 
modify  or  vacate  asse^snjieats  impose^    To 


establish  such  a  jurisdiction  would  open  the 
floodgates  of  preventive  litigation  without 
substantial  benefit  to  interested  parties." 
Judge  Cbitbch  concluded  by  going  beyond 
the  ease  to  express  his  opinion  on  the  as- 
sessment business  as  a  policy,  which  he  pro- 
nounced "  unjust,  and  oppressive,  unsound 
in  principle,  and  vicious  in  practice."  There 
is  no  more  reason,  he  said,  for  assessing  the 
owner  of  property  situated  near  a  street  im- 
provement, for  an  incidental  advantage, 
than  for  compensating  him  for  an  incidental 
injury,  but  the  latter  has  always  been  de- 
nied ;  "  the  right  to  make  a  public  street 
or  avenue  is  based  upon  a  public  necessity, 
and  the  public  should  pay  for  it."  "The 
majority  are  never  backward  in  consenting 
to,  and  even  demanding,  improvements 
which  they  may  enjoy  without  expense  to 
themselves,  and  the  inevitable  consequence 
is  to  induce  improvements  in  advance  of 
public  necessity,  to  cause  extravagant  ex- 
penditure,! fraudulent  practices,  and  ruinous 
taxation  ;  the  systBnr-  operates  unequally 
and  unjustly,  and  leads  to  oppression  and 
confiscation,  i  It  is  difficult  to  discover  in  it 
a  single  redeeming  feature  which  ought  to 
pi^blic  favor." 
The  asses^iueiit — about  $5,000— on  the 
plaintiff's  pijoi)eity  is  significant  of  the 
fvlich  is  $302,000.  Expe- 
rience has  justi  fie  d  this  condemnation  of  the 
asseiisment  system  as  thoroughly  vicious, 
but  the  two  piiies  have  the  bonds  to  man- 
age as  best  Itl  ey  can.  Brooklyn's  assess- 
meni;  bonds,]  ai!  yell  as  we  can  ascertain

payrient,  in  iijsi!  times  of  depression,  and 
meanwhile  the  b<  nds  she  was  led  into  issu- 
ing lemain  out.  Here  in  New- York  the  as-

Before  the!  T\  ix,i  an  infant  was  deposited 
at  the  door  of  i  n  unmarried  woman  of  near 
40,iin  s,  New-liingland  town.  She  took  it 
in,  and  soon  bi  I  came  so  fond  of  it  that  she 
decided  to  ado  pt  it.  It  was  feminine,  and 
proyedj  tobC'Si:  pretty  and  bright  a  child 
that  the  whole  neighborhood  became  inter- 
ested i  in  tihi  little  Gkace,  who  grew 
prettier  and  brighter  as  her  age  in- 
creasedi  The  lady  doted  on  her 
charge,  and  having  a  modest  inde- 
pendence, was  enabled  to  give  her  many 
comforts  and  s:[i  excellent  education.  The 
girl  made  no  T<  turn  for  these  favors.  She 
was!  willful,  insensible,  supremely  selfish,

that  they  besought  her  to  discard  the  in- 
grate.  Her  benefactress  stubbornly  refused; 
she  declared  that  the  ^1  was  young  and 
inconsiderate  ;  that  continued  kindness  and 
affection  mn^  nitimately  soften  and  win 
her.  Grace  took  every  advantage  of  the 
woman's  love ;  she  tyrannized  over  and 
abused'  her  ;  wasted  money  that  could  not 
be  spared,  and  made  constant  demands  for 
more.  Finally  she  reduced  her  protectress 
to  such  a  condition  that  she  would  have 
wanted  the  necessaries  of  life,  if  her  rela- 
tives had  not  helped  her.  To  cap  the 
climax,  she  ran  off  with  a  drunken  vaga- 
bond with  whom  she  had  been  urged  to 
break,  and  whom  she  knew  to  be  despicable 
and  dishonest,  and  insisted  on  returning  to 
live  with  him  under  the  land  woman's  roof. 
She  was  willing  to  take  Grace,  but  not  her 
worthless  husband.  She  had  been  so  worn 
in  body  and  distressed  in  mind  by  her 
adopted  daughter's,  behavior  that  at  this 
time  she  was  dangerously  ill.  While  she 
lay  pale  and  suffering  on  her  bed,  the  charm- 
ing GbaC£  forced  her  way  into  the  house, 
and  burst  into  such  a  torrent  of  imprecation 
that  she  swooned  from  excitement,  and  died 
the  following  day. 

That  man  and  this  woman  were  of  bad 
blood,  it  may  be  said,  inheriting  a  moral 
taint  they  could  not  remove.  But  nearly  all 
adopted  children  are  unhappy  in  their  an- 
cestry; for  they  are  likely  to  be  either 
foundlings  or  orphans,  whose  parents  and 
parents'  parents  have  been  inharmonious 
with  nature,  and  led  unwholesome'or  vicious 
lives.  The  chief  misfortune  is  that  very 
little  if  anything  is  known  of  the  ante- 
cedents of  most  adopted  children — ^not 
enough  to  sei-ve  as  a  guide  or  admonition  in 
their  training ;  they  are  taken  on  trust,  and 
the  trust  is  full  of  perU.  Persons  are 
pleased  with  the  looks  of  an  infant— even 
its  looks  are  no  evidence  of  what  its  mature 
appearance  will  be — and  they  rashly  take  it 
to  their  bosom,  never  suspecting  that  it 
may  prove  a  serpent  to  sting  their  peace  to 
death.  The  kind  of  children  that  it  would 
be  safest  to  adopt — if  any  of  them  be  safe — 
are  just  the  kind  of  children  that  cannot  be 
had.  The  people  who  leave  their  offspring 
to  the  care  of  others,  who  are  capable  under 
any  circumstances  of  parting  with'  them, 
would  be  apt  to  implant  such  traits  as  would 
deter  the  wildest  baby-worshiper  from  ac- 
cepting the  awful  responsibility  of  bringing 
them  up,  were  those  traits  divined  or  in  any 
way  foreshadowed. 


THE  TURK'S  STRONGEST  POINT. 

The  recent  battles  in  Bulgaria  have  ex- 
emplified once  more  the  peculiar  qualities 
of  both  combatants.  The  strength  of  both 
lies  in  defense  rather  than  attack,  and  in 
this  case,  the  Russians  being  the  assailants, 
their  weakest  point  was  matched  against 
their  enemy's  strongest.  In  holding  an  in- 
trenched position,  the  Turkish  linesman  has 
few  equals  and  no  superiors.  In  the  field, 
where  he  is,  and  feels  himselt  to  be,  at  the 
mercy  of  incompetent  officers,  the  occasion- 
al panics  to  which  he  is  liable,  in  common 
with  all  Eastern  races,  have  led  many  critics 
to  undervalue  the  splendid  fighting-power 
which  he  really  possesses ;  but  behind  a 
breastwork,  where  his  stubborn  valor  is  un- 
trammeled  by  any  influence  from  without, 
he  is  emphatically  "  the  right  man  in  the 
right  place." 

It  is  worthy  of  remark  that  both  nations 
have  been  almost  uniformly  victorious  as 
defenders  and  unfortunate  as  assailants. 
Russia's  defensive  victories  at  Poltava, 
Kunersdort',  the  Trebbia,  Heilsberg,  Valen- 
tina,  Smolensk,  and  her  disastrous  attacks 
at  Narva,  the  Pruth,  Zomdorf,  St.  Gothard, 
Xaefels,  Austerlitz,  Inkerman,  Eupatoria, 
are  familiar  to  every  student  of  history. 
As  instances  of  the  Turk's  aptitude  for  de- 
fense it  is  sufficient  to  mention  the  twenty 
months'  siege  of  Rustehuk  in  1811-12, 
the  defense  of  the  lines  of  Bassova  against 
Gen.  ACREP,  in  1853,  the  stubborn  resist- 
ance of  Silistria  in  the  same  year,  costing 
S,000  men  to  the  besiegers,  the  gallant  dey 
fense  of  Kars  against  Gen.  Mouravieff, 
and  the  crowning  victory  of  Eupatoria, 
which  broke  the  heart  of  the  Emperor 
NicnoLAS.  On  this  point  it  is  worth  while 
to  quote  the  words  of  an  eminent  military 
critic  of  the  present  day,  whose  long  per- 
sonal experience  of  Turkish/troops  gives 
special  weight  to  his  opinion': 

"  In  hulding  liis  ground,  aepust  any  odds,  the 
Turkish  grenadier  is  unsurpassed.  Were  the  enemy 
to  come  sweeping  down  ujK>n  him  -10,000  strong, 
where  be  stands  yonder,  a  solitary  sentinel,  he 
would  fire  his  piece  auumg  them  as  resolutely  as  if 
he  had  an  army  at  hl^back,  and  then  fall  where  he 
stands,  without  ywiUinj;  an  inch.  With  his  implicit 
.faith  In  destiny/and  liis  noble  self-sacrifice  in  the 
cause  of  GoD^d  the  Sultan,  he  is  capable  of  en- 
durance aud^ort  that  might  put  a  Spartan  to  the 
blush — witiiess  the  wan,  famiue-stricken,  hoUow-eyed 
spectres  that  manned  so  stanchiy  the  walls  of  be- 
leaguered Kars.  Take  care  of  the  officers,  keep  the 
Pash^'  hands  from  bribes,  aud  you  may  trust  the 
Turkish  soldier  that  no  Russian  regiment  ever 
reaches  tbe  gates  of  Coustantiuople." 

The  last  clause  sounds  almost  prophetic, 
in  the  face  of  the  efforts  now  making  to 
secure  the  services  of  the  Hungarian  Gen- 
eral Kl.\pka.  It  is  certainly  a  poor  compli- 
ment to  the  native  officers  that,  with  a  Ger- 
man at  the  head  of  the  central  army,  an 
Englishman  in  command  of  the  Black  Sea 
fleet,  two  Prussians  prominent  among  the 
engineers,  an  Egyptian  taking  the  lead  in 
the  artillery  department,  and  another  Eng- 
liAman  handling  the  cavalry,  the  Porto 
shoiUd  beg  another  General  officer  from 
Hungary  ;  but  it  must  be  owned  that  the 
two  leading  instances  of  "imported  Gen- 
erals" recorded  in  history — Tykt-SITS  at 
Sparta  and  Xantiiippus  at  Carthage — ^were 
successful  enough  to  make  the  experiment 
worth  repeating. 


THE  RETARDATION  OF  TEE  MOON. 
The  most  devoted  admirer  of  the  sun — 
unless  he  be  a  bigoted  Parsee — must  admit 
that  the  conduct  of  that  luminary  has  fre- 
quently been  other  than  could  have  been  de- 
sired. He  has  sometimes  se  orched  us  with 
a  degree  of  heat  of  which  no  delicate  and 
considerate  luminary  would  have  been 
guilty;  while  at  other  times  he  has  refused 
to  shine  when  his  presence  was  particularly 
desirable.  In  addition  to  his  notorious 
faults,  he  is  at  the  present  moment  the  sub- 
ject of  serious  astronomic  suspicion.  Mr. 
Peoctok  considers  the  sun  quite  capable  of 
burning  up  the  earth,  converting  all  man- 
kind into  cinders,  and  melting  Mr.  Chaeles 
Francis  Adams  ;  while  another  respectable 
astronomer  openly  asserts  that  at  some  fu- 
ttireday  the  sun,- will  draw  the  esurth  to  his 
■hot,  fierce  arms,  by  means  pf  gravitation, 
and  con.sume  her  in  his  fatal  embrace.  It  is 
thus  clear  that  we  ought  not  to  put  unlim- 
ited  confidence   ia   the  ftoii.  and  that  we 


should  he  prepared  for  amy  indiscretion, 
misconduct,  or  crime  on  his  part 

The  moon,  on  the  other  hand,  has  never 
hitherto  deserved  anything  but  trust  and 
affection.  Her  phases  have  frequently 
changed,  bnt  these  changes  have  been  so  re- 
gular in  their  character  and  succession  that 
they  furnished  no  foundation  for  a  charge  of 
fickleness.  Indeed,  the  placidity  and  con- 
st*noy  t>f  the  moon  have  been  universally 
conceded.  She  has  watched  the  earth"  night 
after  night  since  the  morning  stars  first  sang 
together  and  awoke  our  sleeping  planet  to 
light  and  life.  Whatever  scenes  of  crime  or 
violence  she  may  have  witnessed,  they  have 
had  no  power  to  draw  one  sign  of  re- 
cognition from  her  serene,  pure  face.  That 
scandaloue  story  concerning  Endymion  has 
fallen  into  utter  discredit.  No  one  believes 
it  now,  and  it  is  doubtful  if  it  was  really  be- 
lieved at  the  time.  It  is  true  that  the  moon 
has  aided  and  abetted  countless  lovers, 
whether  wise  or  silly ;  but  no  one  blames  her 
for  it.  In  her  remote  and  passionless  sphere 
she  knows  love  only  as  the  poetry  of  the  uni- 
verse, and  smiles  upon  it  without  a  thought 
that  on  our  earth  it  may  be  tainted  with 
miasms  the  very  existence  of  which  she 
does  not  suspect.  It  is  no  wonder  that  men 
havealwayslovedandtrusted  the  moon,  smd 
it  is  only  among  degraded  tropical  savages 
that  she  is  suspected  of  malevolence  toward 
those  who  sleep  in  her  presence. 

But  it  is  no  longer  possible  to  copceal  the 
fact  that  the  moon  has  fallen  into  a  habit 
fraught  with  the  most  disastrous  conse- 
quences both  to  herself  and  the  earth.  Pos- 
sibly she  is  growing  wearj-,  for  her  age  is 
much  greater  than  that  of  the  earth,  and 
she  was  old  when  this  planet  was  '  yet 
swathed  in  vaporo.us  swaddling  clothes. 
Whatever  the  cause  may  be,  she  has  relaxed 
the  speed  with  which  she  once  circled  around 
us,  andsheisgraduallymovingmoreandmore 
slowly  to  the  discharge  of  her  nightly 
duties.  This  "  retardation  of  the  moon,"  as 
cold-blooded  scientific  persons  call  it,  has 
been  placed  beyond  doubt  by i  careful  inves- 
tigation, and  its  rate  has  been  accurately 
calculated.  In  itself  considered,  it  would 
not  be  a  matter  of  very  great  importance, 
but  it  is  well  ascertained  that  just  in  pro- 
portion as  the  speed  of  the  moon  slackens 
she  draws  nearer  to  the  earth.  The  conse- 
quences of  this  latter  conduct  are  inevitable 
and  appalling. 

For  some  time  to  come  there  will  be  no 
difference  in  the  appearance  of  the  moon 
which  can  be  detected  by  ordinary  eyes. 
GrraduaUy,  however,  she  will  grow  appar- 
ently larger  and  brighter,  and  the  day — or 
rather  the  night-j-will  come  when  the  moon 
in  her  first  quarter  will  seem  as  brilliant 
as  she  now  is  when  at  the  full.  The  tre- 
mendous'stimnlus  which  this  state  of  things 
will  exert  upon  the  feline  mind  can  be  only 
faintly  imagined.  Our  roofs  and  back 
fences  will  be  thronged  with  nocturnal  eats, 
and  those  scenes  of  violence  and  fur  which 
are  now  characteristic  of  the  period  of  the 
full  moon,  will  begin  every  evening  as  soon 
as  the  moon  rises.  Sleep  will  be  banished 
from  the  face  of  the  earth,  'knd  the  hui;ian 
race  will  assemble  at  its  back-window.s/  and 
spend  the  night  in  hurling  boot-jaoks  and 
language  at  the  limitless  eats  who,  with 
characteristic  self-conceit,  will  look  upon 
the  increased  quantity  of  moonlight  as  a  di- 
rect pandering  to  their  deprived  passions. 
As  for  lovers,  they  wUl  multiply  to  an  un- 
precedented extent.  Not  merely  the  young, 
but  also  the  veteran-  widowers  and  the 
widows  who  have  faced  a  score  of  times 
the  altar  and  the  ridg,  will  be  seized  with  a 
desire  to  sit  at  unholy  hours  on  the  piazza, 
and  to  furtively  squeeze  hands  behind  the 
shadow  of  pillars  and  vines.  Thus,  in  its 
earlier  stages,  the  approach  of  the  moon 
earthwarji'  will  develop  alike  on  the  back 
fence  and  on  the  front  piazza  those  phases 
of  the4ender  passion  which  seek  expression 
either  in  caterwauling  or  idiocy. 
/Steadily  and  surely  the  growing  disk  of 
/the  approaching  moon  will  blot  out  the 
stars  and  monopolize  the  midnight  sky. 
The  time  will  then  be  near  at  hand  when 
the  moon,  yielding  to  the  attractions  of  the 
earth,  will  rush  upon  us  with  a  velocity 
frightftd  to  think  of.  If  we  have  with 
reason  dreaded  a  collision  with  a  light  and 
gaseous  comet,  how  much  more  reason  have 
we  to  dread  the  blow  of  the  vast  and  solid 
moon !  Kindling  into  flame  as  she  rushes 
through  the  atmosphere,  she  will  strike  the 
earth  and  thereby  develop  an  amount  of 
heat  sufficient  to  melt  a  whole  continent 
into  boiling  lava.  Of  course,  no  planet 
could  sustain  such  a  shock  without  flying 
into  fragments.  The  earth  would  doubtless 
be  broken  into  small  distinct  pieces,  which 
would  begin  to  revolve  around  one  another 
and  to  indulge  in  other  wild  astronomic' 
orgies,  the  mere  thought  of  which  must 
bring  a  chill  to  everv  orderly  Dreast. 

This  is  what  we  have  to  expect  from  the 
moon.  There  is  no  room  for  doubt.  The 
astronomers  know  the  facts  and  admit  that 
they  can  devise  no  plan  for  eoimteracting 
the  moon's  fell  pm-pose.  Sooner  or  later 
that  very  moon  whom  we  have  so  long,  and 
with  such  apparent  good  reason,  loved  and 
trusted,  will  rush  unbidden  upon  us  and 
hurl  us  into  chaos.  We  might  as  well  make 
up  our  min^s  to  it  at  once,  and  cease  to 
lavish  our  confidence  and  affection  upon  a 
moon  that  is  sm-e  to  ruin  us  in  the  end.

GEN.    VON   STEINMETZ. 

CbaTles  Frederick  von  Steinmetz.  the  Prus- 
sian General,  who  died  of  heart  disea.se  on  Friday 
night  at  the  baths  at  Laudeck,  in  SUesia,  was  boni 
Dec.  27,  1796,  and  was  only  about  three  months 
older  than  his-  sovereign,  William,  the  present  Em- 
pt-ror  of  Germany.  Educated  In  the  Prussian  Mili- 
tary School,  Steinmetz  was  12  years  old  when  the 
battle  of  Jena  was  fought,  and  though  a  witness  then 
of  his  country's  humiliation,  before  he  was  20  he 
took  up  arms  in  her  defense,  ha\ing  par- 
tidpated  in  the  campaigns  of  1813  and 
1815  against  France,  which  cnlminated  in  the 
defeat  of  Bonaparte  at  Waterloo.  After  1815. 
until  the  eventful  year  of  1848,  Gem  Steinmetz  was 
employed  in  various  minor  military  capacities,  and 
his  name  did  not  appear  at  thefront  until  1843.  when^ 
the  rtvolution  broke  out  in  Berlin.  At  the  ^ad 
of  a  regiment  of  tbe  Guards,  Steinmetz  fought  against 
the  revolutionists  and  first  gained  distinction.  In 
1861,  when  the  Schleswig-Holstein  complications 
took  place,  Steinmetz  commanded  a  regiment  in  the 
Dutohies.  Invested  with  a  superior  command  in 
1863,  at  the  head  of  the  Fifth  Army  Corps  in  1S6G. 
he  was  conspicuous  in  the  Prosso-Austrian 
War  for  his  braverv,  having  fought  for  three 
days,  from  the  27th  to  the  29th  of  June,  three  Aus- 
trian corps,  at  Nachod,  SkaJitz.  and  SchweinschadeL 
Steinmetz  participated  in  numerous  other  eng^:e- 
ments,  and  by  the  skillfal  management  of  his  forces 
again  gained  honors  at  the  battle  of  Sadowa.  The 
prominent  position  Gen.  Steinmetz  had  taken  In  this 
camp^gn  gained  him  the  decoration  of  the  Black 
Eagle  and  a  grant  of  money.  In  1867  Gen. 
Stanmetz  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Diet  of  the 
North  German  Confederation.  In  the  Franeo-Pms- 
B^i^Ti  eaznpaign  he  took  no  active  part.  Of  late  years 
Gem  Stemmeu  has  held  some  military  nosltion  in 
Berlin,  and  his  age  and  services  have  endeared  Wm

that  a  number  of  the  memlwrs  of  the  California  Ool-

two  men  from  Waterbury  and  one  from  Hartford. 
Most  of  the  men  have  families,  who  vdU  gp  with

waited  for  before  going  is  news  that  the  company 
from  whom  the  land  is  to  be  purchased  ha^-e  com-

property,  an  essential  point,  withont  which  nothing

A  FRIEND'S  STATEMENT  OP  THEIR 
SCHEMES — THET  SUPPORT  THE  DEMOCRA- 
CT  AND  INDORSE  THE  PRESIDENT, 

Ftxnna  Corrt^pondenL 
Raleiqh,  N.  C,  Thursday,  Aug.  2, 1S77. 
There  were  350  delegates  to  the  Postal 
Convention  at  Old  Point  Comfort  on  the  25th 
ulu  Most  of  the  Southern  States  were 
represented.  During  the  three  days  I  was 
there,  I  talked  to  representatives  from  each 
State,  and  ascertained  from  them  that  their 
people  are  fully  satisfied  with  President  Hayes 
and  his  Administration.  There  is  a  general 
disposition  to  sapport  the  President  in 
his  efforts  to  restore  peace  and  good 
will  to  the  whole  country.  The 
resolution,  which  was  unanimously  adopted, 
thanking  the  President  for  his  efforts  to  restore 
peace  and  quietude  to  the  country,  was  passed 
as  a  matter  of  simple  justice.  Although  the 
sentiment  of  the  delegates  was  entirely  with 
the  President,  it  must  not  be  understood  that 
any  delegate  had  abated  his  fealty  to  the  Demo- 
cratic Party,  or  was  any  less  a  Democrat  be- 
cause he  supported  the  Administration.  The 
present  outlook  encourages  every  Democrat  in 
the  opinion  that  the  next  President  will  be 
elected  by  the  Democratic  Party.  While  this  is 
CO,  there  is  no  hypocritical  cant  about  the  title 
of  the  President  to  his  office,  or  any  disposition 
to  try  and  make  the  action  of  the  Electoral 
Commission  a  question  of  the  nest  national 
campaign.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the 
Union  is  now  preferred  to  the  Confederate 
States,  if  the  Southern  people  were  at  liberty  to 
choose  under  which  Government  they  would 
live.  This  choice  may  be  selfish  to  the  extent 
that  the  Democratic  Party,  when  it  regains 
power  in  the  nation,  will  have  the  patronage  of 
38  States  to  dispense  to  the  faithful,  instead  of 
11  States  which  made  up  the  Confederacy.  In- 
asmuch as  the  South  is  now  solidly  Democratic, 
th^re  is  no  cause  for  further  ablation  and  strife ; 
therefore,  peace  and  quiet  prevail  Every  dele- 
gate with  whom  I  conversed  was  full  of  talk 
for  the  South.  Politics  was  a  sec- 
ondary matter  to  the  effort  to  obtain 
increased  mai!  facilities,  a  subsidy  for  three 
steam-ship  mail  lines  between  convenieDl 
southern  ports  and  Rio  Janeiro,  Havana,  and 
Aspinwall  respectively,  and  Government  aid  to 
build  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad.  There 
was  a  general  expression  of  the  opioiou  that  the 
South  should  obtain  all  the  aid  possible  from 
the  Government,  and  Southern  members  of 
Congress  ^ill  be  almost,  if  not  quite,  unanimous 
in  favor  of  aiding  the  Southern  Pacific  Rail- 
road. There  were  a  nrmiber  of  representa- 
tive Republicans  present  in  the  onventiun. 
but  whether  Democrat  or  Republican,  wheth- 
er Bourbon  or  Conser\*ative,  they  vied  with 
each  other  in  the  attempt  to  do  their  utmost  for 
the  South.  Every  interest  was  subordinated  to 
this  end.  The  ^uth  is  solidly  in  favor  of 
every  question  of  Government  aid  for  internal 
Improvements  in  this  section.  It  was  thought 
that  in  some  way  politics  would  have  en- 
tered into  the  proceedings  of  the  con- 
vention. Xot  so.  Every  delegate  seemed 
to  understand  that  nothing  must  be 
said  or  done  which  savored  of  partisan  poli- 
lics.  So  strong  was  this  feeling  that  a  resolu- 
tion to  the  effect  that  the  postal  service  should 
be  managed,  and  its  officers  and  acrents  em- 
ployed and  discharged,  upon  strict  bu-^iuess 
principles,  regardless  of  any  political  or  per- 
soDal  consideration,  was  voted  down  by  ahuust 
a  unanimous  vote,  because,  as  wa-  said,  au  Ad- 
ministration that  had  surrendered  power  in  two 
States  in  deference  to  the  requirements  of  tht: 
Constitution,  that  had  prohibited  Federal  of- 
ficers from  intermeddling  in  politics,  that -was 
reforming  the  civil  service  and  redueinff  ex- 
penses, could  be  tnwted  to  carry  out  the  prin<-i- 
j-!es  as  expressed  in  the  resolution  without  dic- 
tation or  sugi^stion  from  the  convention.

XO"^  A  MILLION  DOLLARS  COULD  BE  SAVED  TO 
THE  CITT  BY  THEIR  JUDICIOUS  USE — 
CRIME  DliinaSHED,  SOCIETY  M.AJ>E  SAFER, 
A>*D  THE   CRIMI>'.\L  PERHAPS   REFORIIED. 

fo  the  Editor  of  the  Xnc-  York  J^mn  : 

Two  years  ago  I  commenced  to  advocate  the 
benefits  to  society,  and  the  savinsrs  to  tax-payers  of 
the  judicious  use  of  the  lash  for  the  punislune:  t  of 
ordinary  crimes.  My  first  article  a)^>eared  in  ibo 
Brooklyn  DaiZyZa^ic.  in  November.  1S75.  I  thought 
at  that  time,  as  I  do  now,  the  moment  had  arrived  to 
agitate  and  thoroughly  discuss  this  mode  of  punish- 
ment. The  press  thought  differently,  but  many  of  its 
members  expressed  their  approval  of  it.  but  felt 
the  time  had  not  arrived  to  discuss  it ;  that  necessa- 
rily it  most  bo  a  very  unpopular  question  for  the 
masses,  and  that  the  masses  most  be  consulted  be- 
fore so  radic^  a  change  could  be  safely  presented  to 
the  popular  jnind.  On  3d  May,  1877.  I  had  the 
honor  to  read  a  paper  before  the  Brooklyn  Philo- 
sophical Club  ou  the  " 'Whippins-Post  as  a  Proper 
iUode  of  Punishment  for  Ordinary  Crimes."  # 

I  unhesitatingly  advocated  the  establisiimeut  of 
whipping-posts  In  every  county  In  the  S^ate.  and 
especially  in  Brooklyn  and  Xew-York.  The  qaesti-m 
at  that  time  received  considerable  ventilation  by  the 
press,  and  since  then  it  has  been  discussed  more  or  less 
by  newspapers  thronghout  the  United  States.  I  liave 
nnmeroos  letters  in  my  possession  from  prominent 
gentlemen  residing  inalmost  every  State  in  the  Union, 
giving  their  views  in  favor  of  it.  I  was  much  (grati- 
fied last  Sunday  momig  to  see  you  had  devoted  fuur 
columns  and  a  half  to  its  discussion,  and  that  gentle- 
men at  the  head  of  the  most  humane  institutions 
New- York  can  boast  of  were  strenuous  advocates  of 
its  practical  resuJts  and  humanitarian  influences. 

I  do  not  hesitate  to  assert  that  $1,000,000  annu- 
ally could  be  saved  to  the  citizens  and  tax-payers  of 
■Kew-York  by  its  judicious  use.  I  do  not,  permit  me 
to  observe,  believe  in  whipping  everybody  that  comes 
along,  but  only  those  who  riclily  deserve  it.  and  after 
sentence  under  the  unanimous  voice  of  a  metiical 
directory.  I  beg  the  reader  to  reflect  for  a  moment 
xipon  the  following  propositions  : 

1.  That  all  laws  are  made  for  the  benefit  of  society 
and  not  for  revenge,  or  for  the  benefit,  not  the  injury, 
of  the  criminaL 

2.  That  all  punishments  should  be  of  such  a  nature 
.  as  will  afford  the  greatest  possible    protection  to 

aodety  and  the  least  injury  to  the  criminal. 

3.  That  the  punishment  of  ordinary  crimes 
should  be  so  regulated  as  not  to  become,  as  at  present 
In  all  large  cities,  a  burden  upon  society. 

4.  That  all  petty  crimes,  su(i  as  larceny,  sneak-thiev- 
Ing.  tramping,  habitual  drunkenness,  wife  beatinj^, 
laziness,  and  faro  pimps — that  class  of  sharks  who  live 
oy  enticing  countrymen  into  gambling  dens — sensual- 
l«*K.  hypocrites,  and  a  thou.«iand  other  meaner  offenses 
fcrioVn  to  the  law,  can  be  disposed  of  without  mate- 
rial injury  to  the  criminal  and  without  cost  to  the 
City  by  the  use  of  the  lash.  Br.  J.  B.  Johnson. 
Mayor  of  Alexandria.  Va.,  disposed  of  50  cases  of 
petty  larceny  by  the  lash  without  anv  expense  to  the 
city.  We  gtv©  them,  he  says.  15  or  20  lashes  and 
tell  them  to  come  back  for  the  other  19. 
They  never  come.  He  says  in  his  last  Message  to 
the  Common  Council  of  his  city :  ' '  The  good  results 
of  prompt  and  impartial  enforcement  of  the  laws 
regardletts  of  the  prejudices  of  any  one  are  evident. 
as  the  disturbers  of  the  peace  and  the  violators 
of  the  law  oear  but  a  small  proportion  to  the  rest  of 
the  communitv  who  keep  the  peace  and  respect  the 
law.  It  has  always  appeared  to  me  to  be  misguided 
sentiment  for  those  who  desire  the  maintenance  of 
the  ordinances  that  have  for  their  object  the  preserva- 
tion of  life  and  property  to  evince  misplaced  Bvmpa- 
thy  for  the  violator*  of  the  law  when  they  are  punish- 
ed, and  to  makf  common  cause  with  them  in  reproach 
of  those  who  Justly  and  impartially  enforce  the  laws. 
I  take  pleasure  in  saying  that  not  a  single  occtirrence 
of  any  consequence  of  a  violation  of  law  has  gone  un- 
reported and  unpunished.  The  Police  Department 
have  not  a  single  prisnner  in  the  *  chain  gang,'  and 
but  one  prisoner  in  jail  for  the  action  of  the  court." 

There  was  a  great  deal  of  opposition  to  the  Mayor's 
determination  to  revive  the  use  of  the  lash.  The  ob- 
Beqoioaa  time-servers,  politicians,  bigoted  sentiment- 
alistt,  hypocrites,  and  white-livered  religionists. 
made  a  great  noise  about  it,  but  the  Mayor  triumphed 
and  Is  now  being  publicly  thanked  for  his  wisdom 
mnd  wise  administration  of  the  laws.  The  lash  should 
not  be  osed  indiscriminately,  but  with  great  caation 
and  sound  judgment.  The  remeznbrance  of  physical 
pain  Is  the  only  thing  that  will  deter  ordinary  crlmi*

Mr.  Edward  Jenkins  gave  notice  of  a  question 
for  next  session  whether  the  Government  will

TROUBLES  BKOUOHT  ABOUT  BY  A  PRETTY 
HOUSEKEEPER — PROMINENT  FAMILIES  IN 
THE  CEEMUNO  VALLEY  CONCERNED. 
From  an  OceasSxmal  Corrtspondeni. 
SOUTHPOBT,  Chemung  County.  N.  T.,  ? 
Saturday,  Aug.  4,  1877.  J 
Tfhe  De  "Waters  family  is  one  of  the  oldest 
in  tjhe  southern  tier,  and  has  large  possessions 
in  the  Chemung  Valley.  York  De  Waters,  one 
of  the  youngest  of  the  family,  was  left  a  wid- 
ower in  the  Fall  of  1875,  his  wife  having  been 
the  daughter  of  a  leading  farmer  of  Southport, 
named  Chauncey  Cleveland.  Soon  after  the 
death  of  his  wife  De  Waters  employed  a  young 
woman  named '  Emma  Nivers  to  act  as  his 
housekeeper.  Miss  Nivers  was  a  very  pretty 
girl,  and  in  spite  of  the  presence  on  the 
farm  of  an  older  brother  of  hers,  Benjamin 
Nivers,  gossip  was  soon  busy  with  her  name  and 
that  of  her  employer.  The  farm  of  a  wealthy 
citizen,  Lewis  6.  Smith,  is  near  that  of  the 
father  of  York  De  Waters.  SmitVs  daughter, 
Ella,  an  accomplished  and  prepossessing  young 
lady,  and  York  De  Waters  had  beed  school  chil- 
dren together.  She  was  a  favorite  In  the  neigh- 
borhood, and  the  parents  of  De  Waters  were 
anxious  that  she  should  become  his  wife.  When 
the  stories  in  relation  to  him  and  Emma  Nivers 
became  current,  the  elder  De  Waters  brought 
his  influence  to  bear  upon  his  son,  and  a  match 
between  the  latter  and  Miss  Smith  was  arranged, 
and  the  young  people  were  married  in  the  latter 
part  of  January,  1876.  De  Waters  was  then  30 
years  of  age,  and  his  bride  19.  Directly  after 
the  wedding  Emma  Nivers  went  to  live  in  the 
family  of  a  farmer  named  Schlick,  not  far  from 
De  Waters'  place.  The  new  3Irs.  De  Waters  was 
not  long  kept  in  ignorance  by  her  husband  that 
she  was  not  his  choice,  but  that  he  had  marriedy 
her  simply  to  satisfv  a  wbim  of  his  parents.  Ii» 
treated  her,  according  to  the  state  me  ntslShe 
now  makes,  with  utter  indifference,  which  at 
times  bordered  on  cruelty.  He  compelled  her  to 
sleep  in  a  room  through  which  his  hired  man 
had  to  pass  to  get  to  his  (quarters,  and  paid  fre- 
quent visits  to  Emma  Nivers,  who  seemed  to 
monoDolize  all  his  affections.  The  sufferings  of 
Mrs.  De  Waters  were  concealed  by  her  from  her 
friends;  but  that  something  was  wrong  at  the 
De  Waters  farm  was  apparent  to  all.  De 
Waters'  parents  used  their  influence  to  make 
things  as  they  should  be  between  him  and  his 
;wife,  who  loved  him  sincerely,  and  had  loved 
him  li>ng  before  her  marriage.  De  Waters,  how- 
ever, while  bearing,  testimony  to  his  wife's  vir- 
tues, declared  that  he  would  be  satisfied  with 
nothing  but  a  separation  from  her,  as  he 
did  not  have  any  affection  for  her.  and  had  mar- 
ried her  to  please  others.  On  her  birthday,  in 
March,  following  the  marriage,  he  offered  to 
give  her  $500  in  money  and  one  third  of-  his 
propertv  if  she  would  agree  to  a  separation,  but 
she  indignantly  repulsed  the  proposal.  His  rea- 
son for  wishing  a  separation  was  understood  to 
be  a  desire  to  replace  his  wife  with  his  former 
housekeeper.  Lp  to  the  loth  of  June,  1876, 
he  asserted  that  he  had  no  cause  of  complaint 
Hffaiust  his  wife,  but  that  he  had  no  love  for  her. 
Tliis  is  one  fact  that  leads  to  the  almost  general 
ronclusion  that  the  events  which  occurred  on  the 
liOth  of  June  la.st  were  the  re.sult  of  a  conspiracv. 
On  the  evening  of  the  day  mentioned,  accord- 
ing to  sworn  statements  made  in  the  ca.se  now 
pending  in  the  courts  of  this  County,  at  Elmira. 
Vork  De  Waters.  Benjamin  Nivers.  and  Mrs. 
De  Waters  were  in  the  t-ittinp-room  at  the 
farm-house.  De  Waters  told  Nivers  that  he 
was  ijoiug  over  to  a  fanners  named  Rhoades, 
.some  three  mile-i  away,  uu  business,  and  mi^ht 
not  be  back  that  nit;ht.  Nivers  swears  in 
court  that  st.»on  after  dark  Mrs.  De 
Waters,  who  hud  been  plavlng  on  the 
inetodean.  suddenly  ceased.  Llew  out  the 
light,  and  made  improper  a^lvaucts  to  him. 
York  Dt;  Waters,  in  his  caf)acity  as  witness  in 
his  own  defense  in  the  case,  .swears  that  he  hud 
■tusi>ected  something  wrong  between  Nivers 
and  his  wife  for  some  time,  and  his  alh.-ct'il  de- 
perture  was  a  ruse  to  detect  them  :  he  wt-at  to 
the  wuods  nt-ar  by  and  reni:iin*-'d  uutii  durk ; 
he  th*-n  crept  bark  to  the  huuse  and  lo<>ko<l 
tlirough  the  sittina-rooni  window ;  his  wife 
was  then  ^playing  oa  the  mtliideitn. 
but  soon  extniguishod  the  liirlit;  shortly 
afterward  lie  heard  her  and  Nivers  g'»  up 
stairs  sin-^iUiC  and  hunrhinjf  to  her  ruoiu.  Ti> 
j;i-t  witiii^'fjst-s  lo  his  wife's  crime  wius  liis  next 
purjfose.  Hh  did  nut  j;o  to  the  iir-Hrcst  neigh- 
liiirs.  but  st;!e<_Mfd  his  first  father-in-law, 
Chauncey  Clevelund.  and  the  employer  of  Kmma 
Xivers.  fanner  Srltlick.  With  these  men  he  re- 
turned hciiie.  Ketnoving  their  bt»ots  at  the 
threshold  of  the  house  they  entered  the  «-t*liar 
by  au  outside  door  and  crept  up  to  Mr.  De 
\Valters'  r'Hitii.  A  lantern  they  carried  was 
nirtied  on  and  Mrs.  De  Walters  was  dis- 
covered aslop  in  bo<l.  and  bv  her  sidv 
was  Benjamin  Niver:".  also  asleep.  1  he  luissband 
v.as  not  iu^ljiriiaiit.  and  did  not  atteinpr  to  nm- 
lest  in  anv  way  tJie  man  he  charged  with  de- 
t)!iuchinj<  Iii-**  wife.  H*^  aske»i  his  wife  calmly 
if  thai  WAS  her  coTi'luct  during  his  absence,  but 
said  nothintr  to  Nivers,  who  quickly  arose  and 
walked  into  the  kitchen.  The  wife  was  the  only 
one  who  exhibited  any  feeliutr,  aud  indignantly 
dciuanded  to  know  what  the  meaning  of  the 
startling  display  was.  Herhusbaud  then  tuld  her 
he  liad  retutTied  for  the  purpose  of  findiuK  her 
just  as  he  had.  He  onlered  Xivers  to  take 
a  horse  and  w;t!4"')n  and  drive  his  wife  to  her 
f.ither'^-.  Nivers  swears  that  he  did  so,  aud  that 
on  the  way  Mrs.  De  Waters  endeavored  to  ar- 
range auotlier  nicetin;:  betw*en  them,  and 
ki'isi.d  liini  g<XKlbye  at  her  father's  door.  The 
t'jslimony  of  the  v^uerable  father  of  Mrs.  Dc 
Walters  is  that  his  daughter  was  in  convulsions 
when  she  was  brought  home,  and  that  she  re- 
m:ui;ed  unconscious  for  several  hours."  De 
Waters  next  day  went  to  Elmira,  and  orderwl 
his  counsel  to  begin  proceedings  for  a  divorce 
from  liiswife  on  the  ground  of  adulterv.  Pending 
prooeediusrs  in  the  t^ase,  both  De  \Vaters  and 
Henjaniin  Xivers  were  arrested  on  a  charge  of 
conspiracy  aw^itinst  the  fotTiier's  wife,  and  they 
wf-re  indicted  at  the  foUowingterm  of  court. 
The  case  has  been  on  trial  in  Elmira  for  two 
w^^eUs,  and  u  decision  is  hourly  expected.  The 
aliove  facts  are  taken  from  testimony  in  the 
case.  The  endenre  to  sustain  the  charge  of 
conspiracy  is  mainly  as  foliowa  : 

Nathan  Wood,  a  neighbor  of  De  Waters, 
swears  that  De  Waters  and  Nivers  had  a  con- 
sultation after  the  affair  of  the  'JOth  of  June, 
at  which  divers  was  told  that  he  ha«l  better  go 
away  for  a  while,  as  people  might  think  it  was 
a  "  put  up  job."  Nivers  Went  to  Wells,  Penn. 
There  he  went  to  work  for  a  man  named  Knapp. 
He  formed  the  acciuaintauce  of  a  young  man 
nami^d  Beach  Fuller,  who  swears  that  Nivors 
confessed  to  him  that  De  Waters  wanted  to  marry 
the  latter's  sister,  Emma,  and  was  determined 
to  get  rid  of  big  wife  in  some  way.  He  had 
made  an  agreement  with  Nivers  to  pay  him  $50 
if  he  would  arrange  to  make  it  appear  before 
witnesses  that  he  was  criminally  intimate  with 
Mrsi  Do  Waters.  The  plan  was  agreed  upon  that 
they  bad  carried  out  as  ralated.  De  Waters  told 
Nivers  afterward  that  he  had  better  go  to  Penn- 
sylvania until  the  excitement  died  away.  The 
testimony  of  Mrs.  De  Waters  would  not  be 
received  by  the  court,  but  her  statement  is 
substantially  as  follows :  She  was  not 
well  on  the  night  her  husband  said 
he  was  going  to  Rhoades.  In  tho  pan- 
try off  the  kitchen  there  was  a  bottle  of 
medicine  which  she  was  using.  Nivers  went  to 
get  it  for  her.  Being  absent  an  unusual  length 
of  time  she  supposed  he  was  having  difficulty -fn 
findng  it,  and  she  went  out  into  the  pantry, 
Nivers  had  the  bottle  in  bis  band,  aud  was  re- 
placing the  cork,  which  he  had  taken  out.  She 
took  the  medicine,  and,  returning  to  the  sitting- 
room,  swallowed  a  dose  of  it.  Not  long  afterward 
she  became  stupid  and  sleepy.  From  that  time 
she  remembered  nothing  until  her  husband 
awoke  her,  with  the  strange  men  in  her  room, 
and  she  was  charged  with  being  found  in  bed 
with  the  hired  man.  She  declares  that  Nivers 
placed  some  powerful  drug  in  her  medicine 
while  he  was  In  the  pantry.  While  she  was  un- 
der its  influence  he  carried  her  to  bed,  and  lay 
down  by  her  side.  Other  circumstances  that 
the  prosecution  deem  important  as  showing  that 
scene  of  the  20th  of  June  was  anticipated 
and  had  been  prepared  for  by  De  Waters 
are  that  his  watch  .  dog  was  removed 
from  the  premises  that  day,  and  that  the  outside 
cellar-door  was  never  known  to  be  unfastened  at 
night  before  that  time.  The  case  is  near 
its  temiination,  and  is  creating  great  inter- 
est, the  decision  being  anxiously  awaited.  It  is 
being  presided  over  by  Judge  Spaulding.  The 
pi-osecution  is  conducted  by  District  Attorney 
S.  S.  taylc^r  and  Hon.  H.  Boardman  Smith. 
The  interests  of  the  defendants  are  in  charge  of 
R.  Stevens  and  John  Mtirdock,  Esqs.  The 
aympathv  of  the  commumty  is  entirely  with 
Mrs.  De  Waters.

it  from  blockade  and  destruction.  Affairs 
throughout  the  valley  are  quieting  down. 

The  miners  held  a  large  meeting  in  Dana.*8 
Grove  this  afternoon.  They  sent  an  Invitation 
to  Mayor  Loomis  Emd  Sheriff  Kirkendall 
to  come  and  inforni  them  why  the  mili- 
tary are  here.  The  Mayor  waa  present  and 
made  a  speech,  counselling  them  to  be 
peaceable.  They  ado  pted  a  resolution  asking 
that  the  miUta^  be  tiken  out  of  the  valley. 
Part  of  them  marchel  through  the  principal

Hazeltcmj ,  Penn. » At  ig.  4. — ^At  a  delegate  meet- 
ing of  the  miners  of  th  s  Hazelton  region  held  to- 
day, it  was  resolved  to  a  ik  for  an  advance  of  12 1^ 
percent,  from  the  15th  inst,  the  company  to 
be  given  until  the  10th  inst.  to  signify  their 
acceptance.  It  is  reported  that  the  dele- 
ifingons  were  pledge*  I  to  make  the  above 
den^ds.  The  representation  from  the 
BeaVer  Meadow  District  waa  very  full

Ebervale,  Eckley,  Drilfton,  Milnesville,  Holly- 
wood. Lattimer,  and  L'^pper  Lehigh,  was  but 
slightly  represented.  The  main  object  of  the 
meeting  was  ."wid  to  have  been  to  attempt  a 
reorganization  of  the  Vforking  Men's  Benevolent

the  result  of  the  del  Orations  on  this  point. 
Miners  who  have  herelofore  been  very  active  in 
organizing  strikes  hare  expressed  themselves 
to-day  as  opposed  to  a  strike  as  long  as  the 
Schuylkill  Companies  continues  to  work.  The

AXOTHEH  RAl\.UOAD  COLLISION.

THE  cars — ^EVl  )ENT  CARELESSNESS  ON 
THE    PART    OP    THE  OFFICIAL.*:. 

A  collision  for  whilch  there  was  no  excuse, 
and  whii-h  narrowly  esr a|>ed  bt-ing  disastrou.s  \n  life, 
occurred  Itunt  evening  oii  the  Locust  Grove  section  of 
the  Grren-Wood,  Bath,  md  Coney  Island  liailroad. 
A  triiin  of  three  cai-s,  ovitrtrrowded  with  men,  women, 
aud  children,  left  Cone:-  Island  at  10  minutes  before 
7  o'clock,  for  Locust  Sirrove,  to  connect  with  the 
Rtcamboat  Minnie  E.  Child,  which  waa  to 
take  the  ,  excursion Ists  back  to  New-York.  As 
it  was  behind  time,  and  the  steam-boat  had  already 
been  delayed  "0  minutes — Its  proper  time  to  start 
bointf  fi:30  odock-— the  train  was  ruu  at  a  high  rate 
of  speed.  Afti:r  a  few  minutes,  when  the  train  was 
abous  a  mile  from  Locust  Grove,  the  passengers 
were  startled  by  two  shrill  shrieks  of 
tho  locomotive's  whistle,  and,  slmnltnneoualy. 
the  brakes  were  put  down  hard  on  all  the  cars.  A 
moDjent  later  a  tenflblo  crash  occurred.  Most 
of  the  pasBcnser^  In  the  train  were  thrown  in  con- 
fused  ma.<i4es  to  the  bottom  of  the  cars,  aud  some  of 
them  were!  knocked  Into  the  roadway.  Quite  a  num- 
ber, of  them  were  seyorely  hurt  by  striking  their 
faces  against  the  backs  of  the  seats.  As  soon  as  the 
crasji  ^as  over  the  ouglneer,  a  brave  fellow  who  had 
remained  at  his  post  <  without  flinciiing.  cried  out : 
"Keep  your  seats;  it's  all  over."  His  voice  was 
heard  only  by  those  passengers  in  the  foremost  car, 
so  loud  were  the  shrieks  and  lamentations 
of  women  and  children.  When  the  people 
left  the  cars  it  tlvas  ascertained  that  the 
locomotive  of  the  train  from  Coney  Island  had  run 
into  the  fiiont  car  of  a  train  of  seven  cars  on  its  way 
from  Locust  Gfrove  to  Coney  Island.  This  train  was 
being  bnclked  |  down,  its  locomotive  being  at  its 
further  end.  The  car  into  which  the  engine 
ran  was  i  almost  demolished,  and  the  cars 
following  it  Were  also  badly  damaged.  Luckily, 
there  were  very  few  passengers  on  the  train  bound 
to  Coney  Island.  Although  they  were  distributed 
thronghout  the  seven  cars,  several  of  them  were 
seriously  hurtJ  One  man  was  thrown  from  his  seat 
into  the  roadj  and  hurt  so  badly  that  his  life  was 
despaired  of  at  tho  latest  account  from  the  scone  of 
the  collision.   ' 

The  remote  cause  of  the  collision  was  the  fact  that 
earlv  yusterday  morning  an  eu^ne  ran  off  one  of  the 
trades  beyond  Locust  Grove  and  broke  dowTi,  so  that 
it  coukl  not  be  removed  daring  the  day.  This  caused 
all  the  Bubsel)uent  trains  to  be  run  at  irregular 
lutervals  over  a  single  track.  There  u  In 
tMs  fact,  j  however,  no  apparent  excuse 
for  the  occurrence  of  the  collision.  That 
part  of  the  rojad  where  the  collision  occurred  is  level 
and  straight,  sind  an  engineer  can  see  a  long  distance 
in  advance  of  [  his  engine.  The  driver  of  the  train 
from  the .  beaCh,  it  seems,  saw  the  other  trwn  ap- 
proaching, and  put  down  his  brakes  in  time  to  pre* 
vent  disaster  if  the  engineer  of  the  other  train  had 
been  equally  as  quiet.  He,  however,  waa  in  a 
locomotive  behind  seven  cars,  and  neither  saw  the 
down  tr^n  nor  was  signaled  speedily  enough  by 
brakemeix.  The  result  was.  therefore,  that  this  train 
dashed  into  the  one  laden  with  people. 

The  passengers  tminjured  by  the  collision  were 
very  violent  in  their  dei^unciations  of  the  railway 
ofQcials,  and  threatened  to  do  bodily  harm  to  anv 
that  might  appear.  They  were  compelled  to  walk 
from  the  Scene  of  the  dlatwter  to  the  steam-boat.  On 
tlie  wnv  back  on  .the  vesael  it  waa  found  that  very 
few  of  tiem  had  escaped  injury.  Most  of  them 
wer«  braiked  or  cut  on  the  face  and  liead.  One  in- 
fant, canted  by  its  mother,  did  not  move  from  the 
time  of  tt|e  collision  until  the  steamer  arrived  at  her 
dock,  audit  was  believed  that  the  little  one  bad  been 
fatally  hurt,    _      

PoBTLjLND,  Me.,  Aug.  4. — ^A  bill  in  equity  to 
compel  the  appointment  of  three  Reoelven  for  the 
Ogdensburg  Railroad  was  filed  this  morning  by  the 
first  mortgage  bondholders  and  one  of  the  joint  con-

MR.  ADAMS  WILLING  AQAJK. 
The  Pitt0fleld  (Mass.)  ^n  says :  "  While  the 
down-east  friends  of  "VnUiam  Gaston  and  Judge  Ab* 
bott  axe  fretting  about  which  ahaU  ba  eaad^te  for 
Ooremor  this  Fall,  we  would  state,  and  that  by  au- 
thority, that,  if  those  opposing  factions  will  cease

only  statesman  who  traly  ropreaents  the  Democratic

tracy  of  the  Republic,  will  tiOie  tht-  nomination  ut 
Worceifter  If  given  to  him  in  the  same  uuanimous 
QLanner  as  last  FalL" 


ESaOBEDOS  ARREST. 
The  New-Orleans  Times  says  that  in  a  recent 
private  letter  Gen.  Bscobedo  complai&s  of  his  arrest 
ou  the  ground  that  the  United  States,  never  having 
recognized  the  Diaz  Government,  can  luurdly  obey 
the  requests  of  its  ofScers,  he  being  the  representa- 
tive of  the  onlv  Mexican  Government  at  present 
recognized  at  ^Vashlngton.  He  further  feels  that 
as  no  overt  act  was  committed  in  this  country,  nor 
intended,  that  the  arrest  was  at  least  arbitral  and 
out  of  all  precedence,  the  fact  of  his  being  a  Mex- 
ican citizen  crossing  into  his  own  cotuitry  hardly  af- 
fording sufficient  grounds  for  his  detention. 


THE  RVPTURE  OF  THE  MARRIAGE  TIE. 
The  London  Court  Circular  of  July  21  says ; 
"  It  is  well  known  that  her  Majesty  is  rightly  severe 
concerning  the  rupture  of  the  marriage  tie.  It  is 
reported  that  a  certain  American  lady,  gifted  with 
beauty  and  wealth,  and  married  to  an  American  of 
standiiig,  recently  managed  to  obtain  a  presentation 
to  the  ^een.  not  through  the  Minister,  but  through 
an  En^ish  lady  of  rank  whose  acquaintance  her 
wealth  and  lavish  entertainments  had  enabled  her  to 
make.  -A  few  days  afterward  the  lady  of  rank  told 
an  Intimate  friend  that  the  Queen  had  discovered 
that  the  American  lady  was  divorced  and  her  first 
husband  was  still  living,  and  she  rebuked  the  lady 
severely  for  making  the  presentation." 


INFLVENCINQ  PUBLIC  OPINION. 
The  Bangor.  {Me.)  Whig,  which  has  been 
throughout  a  bitter  and  uncompromising  opponent 
of  the  President's  Southern  policy,  says  in  its  issue  of 
the  3d  inst.:  "  We  have  information  of  a  number  of 
'  disgruntled '  politicians,  at  present  out  of  office,  but 
with  a  lively  desire  to  cet  in,  who  have  been  peram-_ 

bulatine  the  State,  seeking  to  influence  caucuses  in 
favor  of  the  *  Southern  policy.'  The  Republican  op- 
ponents of  the  course  which  hat  already  given  tl^ 
South  over  *  solid  '  to  the  White  League  Democracy, 
and  which  seems  to  have  for  its  next  special  object 
the  disorganization  of  the  Republican  Party  in  the 
North,  have  not  deemed  it  necessary  to  resort  to  any 
'  mlssionarr  work '  among  the  sturdy  Repnblieana  of 
Maine.  When  Maine  surrenders  *  principle '  to 
'  policy,'  there  will  be  little  left  to  hope  for." 


THE  TELEGRAPH  BEATEN. 
The  Albany  Journal  of  Friday  thus  alludes  to 
an  annoying  delay  In  the  delivery  of  a  telegraphic 
message:  " In  connection  with  the  Montreal  elope- 
ment case,  it  may  be  stated  that  on  Tuesday  night 
Chief  Maloy  telegraphed  to  Mr.  Brown,  father  of  the 
girl,  to  come  on  and  take  charge  of  her.  Wednesday 
passed  without  any  answer  to  the  dispatch  being  re- 
ceived, and  on  Wednesday  evening  at  5:30  Mr. 
Brown  arrived  in  person.  He  stated  that  he  had  an- 
swered the  dispat^  at  7  A  M.  of  Wednesdav-  in  Mon- 
treal, itist  as  he  was  taking  the  train.  The  state- 
ment, however,  was  doubted,  as  no  dispatch  had  been 
received.  He  returned  home  with  his  daughter,  and 
yesterday  afternoon  the  receipt  of  a  dispatch  from 
Mr.  Brown  dated  Aug.  1,  stating  that  he  was  coming 
on  Immediately  to  get  the  girl,  proved  the  correctness 
of  his  assertiozL  " 

A  MASSACHUSETTS  2f OS. 
The  Springfield  (Mas.<s.)  Republican,  of  Friday 
says:  "  H.  M.  Jones,  a  Maryland  teacher,  but  former- 
ly Pastor  of  the  Baptist  Church  at  Southfield  in  Sew- 
Marlboro.  returned  to  that  viUaee  a  few  days  ago  to 
be  reconciled  to  his  wife,  whose  home  is  there,  aud 
from  Vhom  he  had  been  separated  since  last  Decem- 
ber. But  It  seems  that  the  wife's  brothers,  George  C. 
and  Nelson  E.  Walter,  did  not  like  their  brother  In- 
law, and  sent  hUn  word  that  he  must  leave  town  or 
he  wonld  be  compelled  to  by  a  mob :  and  Mon- 
day night  a  dozen  or  so  men  and  boys,  including  the 
two  Walters,  surrounded  the  house  where  Jones  v-as, 
and  were  only  restmined  from  mobbin;r  him  by  two 
officers  whom  the  Selectmen  had  sent  to  protect  him. 
It  Is  said  that  one  cause  of  the  difficulty  is  that  the 
estate  of  the  late  Mr.  Walter  has  not  been  Iftrally  ad- 
m^oistered.  and  that  part  of  the  property  rightly  be- 
longs to  Mr.  Jones."

THE  YOUNG  MAN  IN  THE  DUSTER 
The  Milwaukue  Wisconsin  has  this  social  in- 
cident to  tell  of  :  "A  young  lady  of  this  city  recently 
made  herself  the  victim  of  a  ridiculous  mistake.  A 
handsome  and  wealthy  gentleman,  whose  scquaint- 
anct*  she  had  just  formed,  invited  her  to  attend  a

cused for  a  fi'w  nioiueuis.  To  her  mother  she  staled 
the  fact  that  she  wovdd  bo  ashamed  to  go  with  him 
if  he  wore  ■  that  coat.'  It  was  finally  decided  that 
she  »:hould  ask  the  gentleman  to  pass  the  eveuiaij  at 
the  hou-ie.  Ashamed,  but  determined,  she  t«>l.t  him 
that  she  did  not  believe  that  any  of  the  trentlemeu 
would  wear  linen  coats  at  the  party,  and  that  they 
had  better  not  ^o ;  a  delightful  evuninc  could  b  • 
passed  at  home,  &c-  The  centleman  to-jk  the  matter 
good-naturedly  and  remarked  ;  '  Why.  this  is  only 
my  du-ster.'  'The  lady  recovered  from  her  mortifica- 
tion sufficiently  to  attend  tho  party." 

A  CONNECTJCVT  YOUTHS  SUIT 
The  Norwich  BuUetin  of  Fri<ln,y  snys :  "A 
rather  novel  breach  df  promise  suit  has  just  been  be- 
gun before  the  Superior  Court  for  Windbara  Couuty. 
Da-.id  L.  Rock,  a  sturdy  youui;  man  of  Wanregan, 
two  years  ago  began  to  pay  his  addresses  to  a  bright. 
black-haired,  black-eyed  girl  by  the  name  of  Agnes 
Oreenea.  The  swain  bought  little  presents  and 
paid  his  sweetheart  the  most  undivided  at- 
tention ;  but  Agnes  didn't  t)iink  enoutih  of 
David  to  become  his  tmrtner  for  life,  and 
plainly  told  hliu  so.  David  didn't  like  the  *  mitten"  a 
tit,  but  watched  every  opportuulty  to  enjoy  the  com- 
pany of  Agues.  About  three  months  ago  another 
young  man.  by  the  name  of  John  La  Rose,  ai^peared 
on  the  scene,  and  his  attentions  to  Agnes  were  nn-ip 
rocated.  and  after  a  short  courtship  they  were  mar- 
ried. After  the  knot  was  tied  all  the  chances  of 
David  Rock  were  gone,  and  he,  to  sohice  his  unre- 
quited love,  now  brings  a  suit  for  $200  damages 
against  the  girl  and  her  husband.  It  is  probable  that 
the  case  wUf  be  tried  at  the  next  term  of  the  court, 
and  will  cause  some  amusement." 


SEVERE  AND  PROBABLY  US'JUST 
The  Wilmington  (Del.)  i^tpuftiicon  of  Friday 
says  :  "  Last  evenintc,  at  the  close  of  the  temperance 
meeting  at  the  Twelfth-street  tent.  Bev.  Father  Tay- 
lor was  called  upon  to  pronounce  the  benediction. 
Coming  forward,  aud  while  the  audience  was  stand- 
ing, he  said  he  had  been  informed  that  when  the 
Legislature  visited  the  publio  schools  of  Wilmington 
last  Winter,  they  all  got  drunk,  and  about  all  they 
did  during  the  session  was  to  legislate  for  owls, 
hawks,  and  mttakrats.  He  hoped  they  might  have 
hawks  for  breakfast,  owls  for  dinner,  and  muskrats 
for  supper,  and  tnen  he  pronounced  the  benediction. 
Father  Taylor's  stifferings  through  the  influence  of 
intemperance.  It  was  conceded,  gave  liim  this  liberty 
of  speech,  though  we  think  it  rather  severe,  and  per- 
haps not  strictly  correct.  Tlie  reverend  gentleman 
most  have  forgotten  that  State  Senator  Sharpley  was 
along  yirith.  the  party  visiting  tho  schools,  and  nlso 
that  be  addressed  the  tent  meeting  a  few  evenings 
ago,  in  which  address  he  declared  that  he  had  always 
been  a  temperance  man." 


BANK  SUSPENSION  IN  COLORADO. 
The  Denver  (CoL)  JVews  of  July  31  says: 
"laformatlon  was  received  In  this  city  yesterday, 
morning,  that  the  First  National  Bank  of  George- 
town had  closed  Its  doors.  The  announcement 
created  no  special  excltemeot  In  financial  circles,  as 
the  event  had  been  partially  expected  some  time. 
The  aauie  seems  to  have  been  the  case  at  George- 
town, where,  according  to  afternoon  telegrams,  the 
suspension  had  not  disordered  busiuessi  or  caused 
any  undue  popular  commotion.  According  to  the 
statement  of  the  bank,  made  at  the  close  of  business 
on  the  2'2d  of  Jtme  last  its  capital  was  $75,000,  and 
surplus  $25,000.  Its  individual  deposits  were  ^9.- 
245  62;  demand  certificates  »9.9-43  73,  time  cer- 
tificates $44,612,  making  a  total  deposit  account  of 
9103.801  35.  Ita  loans  amounted  to  $192,530  24. 
and  its  overdrafts  were  $14,675  93.  The  suspen- 
sion of  the  bank  is  probablv  due  directly  to  the  per- 
sonal embarrassment  of  its  President,  Mr.  W.  W. 
Ctishman,  the  founder  and  prindpal  stockholder  of 
the  concern.  Mr.  Cushm&n  is  a  gentleman  whose 
personal  integrity  and  business  qualifications  have 
never  been  called  in  qoeation.  Georgetown  owes 
more  to  bim  than  any  other  of  her  citizens,  and  it  is 


probabW  to  his  liberal  eutorprise  as  a  cltlzea  that 
his  fallnxe  as  a  banker  must  be  attributed.  Un* 
fortunate  investments  in  ndnes  and  various  local 
enterprises  and  improvements  have  carried  down  the 
bank  and  banker."^ 


EASTERN  HORSES  FOR  ENGLAND. 
The  Portland  (Me.)  Argus  aaya:  "The 
British  public  have  at  last  discovered  the  8iq»erior 
quality  of  otir  Northern  horses  as  roadsters.  Their 
size,  good  spee^  fine  carriage,  great  power  of  endur- 
ance on  the  road,  &c.,  are  now  understood,  and  the 
beginniuK  of  a  large  trade  in  the  export  of  horses  to 
E"nglaud  has  taken  place  this  year.  In  the  Montreal 
Gazette  wc  see  the  statistics  of  exports  fram  Qiiebec 
this  year  with  tho  Arless  patent  liitimrs  from  May  7 
to  Jtily  26.  1S9  horses  by  the  freight  steamers  of 
Canada.  Probably  nearly  as  manv  more  have  gone 
by  the  Allan  lAne  with  other  fittings,  said  to  be 
cheaper  and  better  than  the  Arless.    The  horses  ex- 

?3rted  have  been  principally  from  Montreal  and 
oronto.  Among  them,  however,  we  see  tte  names 
of  Geoi^  A,  Clark  &  Son.  of  this  city,  for  five 
horses.  Our  best  breeds  of  Maine  and  New-England 
horses  are  tlie  best  of  roadsters,  and  just  the  thing  to 
suit  John  Bull's  taste.  It  Is  hoped  that  our  horse 
raisers  and  dealers  will  take  early  hold  of  this  new 
opening  market  before  speculators  get  into  it,  and 
make  a  regular  business  of  It  to  their  own  advantage." 


AN  UNEXPECTED  MEETING. 
How  old  acquaintances  must  sometimes  unex- 
pectedly turn  up  in  unlooked-for  places  is  thus  illus- 
trated by  the  Springfield  (Mass.)  ^epu^Iican:  "Here  is 
ez-ArmorerM.  D.  Lawrence,  who  inspected  proved  bar- 
rels at  the  water-shops  from  1860  to  1866,  tending 
door  for  the  educated  pig  on  Hillman-street.  Law- 
rence's experience,  as  he  tells  it,  would  make  a  eood 
plot  for  a  sensational  drama  or  a  novel  by  Capt.  ilar- 
ryattu  A  disagreement  between  the  Faculty  at  Am- 
heist  College  and  himself  while  a  student  resulted  in 
hisgoinffto  Sonth  Africa  before  the  mast,  where  he 
thoroughly  learned  the  training  of  animals.  Tfred  of 
this  life,  he  returned  to  America,  graduating  credita- 
bly from  Columbia  College  in  iS-tO.  and  subsequently 
graduated  at  the  Pittsfield  Medical  College.  Between 
1S60  and  1866  tho  water-shpps  were  in  their  prime. 
3.000  men  finding  work  thpre  and  on  the  Hill,  and 
Inspector  Lawrence  turned  out  sometimes  l,20O gun- 
barrels  per  day.  He  afterward  traveled  for  a  Boston 
firm  until  it  became  insolvent,  when  he  drifted  to  the 
Pacific  coast  and  fell  in  with  a  showman,  who  ad- 
vised him  to  train  a  promising  pic  and  travel.  The 
showman  got  his  lions  and  Jjawrence  his  pig,  and 
they  claim  to  be  making  money." 


A  GOOD  JOKE  ON  "THE  LANCET." 
The  London  Court  Circular  say.s  :  *"  We  have 
all  heard  the  saying,  '  Physician,  heal  thyself;'  but 
the  following  aopHcation  of  it  is,  I  think,  unique  :  A 
correspondent  asks  why  city  offices  should  be  at- 
tacked for  their  in.*;anitary  condition,  while  others 
under  the  control  of  •  sanitur%-  authorities,'  so  called 
are  no  better.  He  says,  '  I  tad  occasion  the  other 
day  to  visit  the  offices  of  one  of  your  medical  cotem- 
poraries,  the  Lancet,  and  I  am  bound  to 
say  that  I  never  breathed  a  closer  or 
more  unhealthy  atmosphere.  It  was  entirely 
unventilated.  except  by  an  aperture  which  led  into 
the  shaft  traversed  by*  the  lift,  and  this,  »s  far  as  I 
could  ascertain,  received  only  the  ground  air.  which 
in  a  neighborhood  sucli  as  the  Strand  Is  not  likely  to 
be  of  the  purest.  I  remarked  to  one  of  the  persons 
occupj*ing  the  office  that  the  atmosphere  seemed  to 
be  oppressive  and  unhealthy,  to  whicti  he  grimly  and 
dolefully  assented,  stating  that  the  same  observation 
had  frequently  been  made  by  others.'  AT^dthisls 
the  pajwr  which  tells  ns  that  no  one  ought  to  meddle 
with  sanitary  matter  bat  medical  men,  who  alone  un- 
derstand the  subject.    It  certainly  is  a  good  joke." 


TABBTS  CUIilOSITY  SATISFIED. 
The  Virginia  CSav.)  Enterprise  tells  this  af- 
fecting stor>- :  "  Charles  Kaiser,  who  has  the  only 
hivt  of  bees  in  totvu,  says  that  when  he  first  got  his 
swarm  his  old  cat's  curiosity  v.as  much  excited  in  re- 
gard to  the  doings  of  the  little  insects,  the  like  of 
which  she  had  u*:Vcr  bcfoi-e  seen.  At  first  she 
watched  their  comings  and  ;;<»ings  at  a  distance.  She 
then  Hattened  herst^lf  upua  the  :fr«>und  and  crept 
alone  toward  the  hive,  with  tail  horizontal  and  quiv- 
ering. It  was  clearly  evident  that  she  thought  the 
bees  some  new  kind  of  game.  Finally  she  took  up  a 
position  at  the  entrance  to  the  hive,  and  when  a  bee 
came  in  or  started  out.  made  a  dab  at  it  with  her 
paws.  This  went  on  for  a  time  without  attracting 
the  special  nttcntioTi  of  the  intiabitante  of  the  liive. 
Pi-esi-ntly,  however,  'old  Tabby'  struck  and  crushed 
a  bee  on  the  ed^e  «»f  tlio  o[H*ning  to  the  liive.  The 
smell  of  the  crusht^d  bee  alarms  d  aud  enraged  the 
whole  sw.-irm.  Bees  by  the  score  poureii  forth  and 
darted  lutu  tlie  fur  of  the  astonished  cat.  Tabby 
rnllt^d  linrself  in  t]!-.'  irrass.  spitting,  sputtering,  bitt- 
ing, clawini:.  and  saualiing  as  cat  never  sijualled  be- 
fore. .She  ajjpeared  a  mer-^  ball  of  fur  and  bees  as 
she  rolled  and  tumbled  about.  She  was  at  length 
himl«;d  ftway  from  the  hive  with  a  ganleii  rake,  at  the 
co.'^t  of  Several  stvere  stings  to  bcr  rescaer.  Even 
after  she  hud  been  twkeu  to  a  distant  part  of  the 
grouuii*;  the  bees  stuck  in  Tabby's  fur.  and  about 
on<-*'  in  two  minutes  she  would  utter  an  unearthly 
■  ywr  and  hounce  a  full  yard  in  the  air.  On  coming 
down  siie  Would  try  to  scmt^-li  an  ear,  when  a  sting  on 
tiie  bai;k  wouid  caiuse  lier  to  turn  a  su'-'-ession  of  b:u:k 
soiner-Jiu'.ts  and  ;iive  Vent  to  a  ruuniiii:  fin*  of  squalls. 
Like  th'*  p.irrot  that  wus  left  alone  witii  the  monkey, 
old  'j^abby  had  a  drca<U'ul  time.  Two  or  three  da>-s 
ftfterTliis  ridveuture  Tabby  wits  caught  by  her  owner, 
who  took  her  bv  the  neck  find  threw  her  down  near 
IJK- b're-hive.  >^o  sooner  did- she  st like  the  groand 
th.Hn  she  ir-ive  a  fearful  ^q«all.  and  at  a  suigle  bound 
r(*»<-lied  th"  top  of  u  fence  full  six  feet  in  height. 
Tliere  she  t-iung  for  «  moment,  with  tail  as  biji  as  a 
rolling-pin,  whtu  witli  another  bound  and  squall  she 
was  out  of  siiht  and  did  not  agaiu  put  in  an  appear- 
ance for  over  a  week."

PART  OP  THE  INDIAKS — THE  BCTCHERT 
I*ASTED  FIVE  OR  SIX  HOURS,  AKD  PEW 
AMERICANS  ESCAPED.  -^ 

To  tht  Ediu>r  of  the  yeu>-  York  Time$  i 
Tbo  immutable  laws  of  strategy  determined 
*  tbat  the  lato  of  the  Centennial  Year  shoold  hang  on 
the  conrse  of  the  Hudson  Eiver.  Had  Howe 
usecnded  and  had  Bnrgoj-no  descended  it  in  time, 
jndginfi  trom  a  human  stand-point,  the  13  Colonies 
would  no\r  occupy  the  same  relation  to  the  mother 
ccnintry  as  the  Dominion  of  Canada  or  Australia. 
The  hattlea  which  decided  that  America  should  he 
free  were  fought  on  the  very  banks  o£  the  Hudson, 
or  in  the  valley  of  its  principal  affluent,  the  Mo- 
hawk, and  amid  the  confiuenta  of  one  of  its  im- 
portant branches,  the  Hoosio.  The  Empire  State 
baa,  under  every  consideration,  deserved  this  im- 
perial title.  In  war  it  was  the  Flanders  of  America. 
To  the  French  and  English  it  was  what  Slcity  was  to 
the  Romans  and  Cfirthagimans — the«ock-pit,  the 
training-ground.  It  was  the  gladlSfnbil  arena 
5f  fotir  great  races,  colonizers  of  the .  'Sevr 
World— three  eivili::od,  Dutch,  English.  _  and  French, 
and  one,  the  noblest  of  the  savage  aborigines,  the 
Iroquois  or  *'Sis:yat!ons."  "When  George  m.  was 
anointed  King  of  Great  Britain  the  most  valuable 
brilliant  became  detached  and  fell  from  his  .diadem. 
It  was  deemed  an  evil  omen,  and  so,  indeed,  it 
proved.  His  coronation  took  place  in  17C0,  and 
hi  1777  the  13  Colonies  were  lost  to  Great 
Britain.  Xo  wonder  Creasy  considered  the  condict 
of  Saratoga— althouifh  the  writer  would  substitute 
Oriskany,  apparently  a  side  issue — as  one  of  the 
fifteen  decisive  battles  of  the  world.  It  demon- 
strated what  the  citizen  soldier  could  do  when 
brought  to  bay  in  defense  of  hearth  and  home.  Xo 
regular  soldiery  on  the  face  of  this  earth  ever  fotisht 
_  with  more  determination  than  Harkhelmer's  Hol- 
laudo-Germaus  at  Oriskany.  It  was  a  modem  real. 
Dot  transcendental,  self-sacrifice,  like  that  of  Ther- 
uiopyhu;  not  by  brutal  Spartans,  but  by  honest 
yeomen- patriolio  fathers  of  families.  "What  is 
more,  their  opponents  were  not  effeminate  Persians, 
but  men  of  the  same  kindred  and  ki-luey,  directing 
and  co-operating  with  a  conquered  race — the  Boniana 
of  the  Redskins.  No  battle  won  by  Rome  is  more 
creditable  to  the  Republican  Roman  than  Oriskany 
to  the  New- Yorkers — children  of  the  soil. 

^Vhoover  has  read  the  thrilling  and  .fascinating

FAULTLESS  PLAN'S  BUT  XrNTOWARD  RESrLTS. 

It  is  not  diSicuit  to  demonstrate  all  this.  It  is  a  very 
mrioas  fuct  that  some  of  the  grandest  plans  of  va.st 
?ninpru:rr>-s  have  ori;iinated  -with  a  Monarcliv  or  its 
Ministry,  which  have  almost  as  often  failed  throu;:h 
its  poverty  lu  great  comniaudurs  lit  to  carry  them  out. 
The  Saxon  is  the  best  soldier  who"  evf-rgra.'^pcd  a 
weapon,  but  our  race  in  its  broad  sign iiic alio n  is  not 
prolific  of  yruat  captains.  It  is  cuming  ux>  in  latter 
years,  throuifh  tho  i;truiug  of  its  prc-emluoutly  prac- 
ti'.'al  mhid  to  tho  i»uri>oscs  of  war,  for  wliich,  unlike 
tho  Celt,  it  has  no  instinctive  partiality.  The  plan  of 
ritt,  'in  175'J,  for  the  conquest  of  Canada,  was 
worthy  of  its  gmnJ  origin.  It  succeeded 
bocjiuse  Providence  fumUhed  to  the  great  Minister 
ill  James  Wolfe,  an  instrument  appropriate  to  tho 
grand  tiesi^.  Thd  plan  of  1777  for  tho  subjugation 
of  the  colonies  was  etjually  worthy  of  admiration. 
but,  unfonunately  for  Eii^'laa«I,  "Wolfe  had  perished 
In  the  coGsummMi'jn  of  his  mi;;hty  task.  Wolfe, 
tho  perfect  ideal  of  a  soldier  and  a  General,  alive 
with  enthusiasm,  filled  wltU  zeal,  endowed  mth  every 
qnaiity  of  a  leader,  had  set  an  esiimplc  which  neither 
a  Howe,  nor  a  CUatou.  nor  a  Burgoyne,  through 
th'?ix  very  m^^ntal  and  physical  conformations,  could 
eitiicr  euiulate  or  imitate. 

Many  such  x*la:i^.  m  gJ^ntic  and  as  complicated, 
have  b..*en  coacelvfd,  faultless  to  appearance ;  but, 
like  all  such  combluatioiis  of  human  macliinery,  re- 
quiring gimultanclty,  aud  that  Is  the  hardest,  most 
dXiioult  result  to  achieve  in  this  mortal  world  on  a 
grand  scile  :t,ad  over  v:wt  distances.  There  is  some- 
thing almo:st  touchlag  in  tlii;  piinful  uucortainty  ex- 
pressed in  tliO  order  of  Prince  Leopold,  even  amid  tho 
mathematical  exactitude  of  Frederickian  diselpllno  : 
"  Bo  sternly,  be  correct,  especially  be  silent ;  and,  so 
far  as  nature  wUl  permit,  bo  simultaneous."  The 
Prussian-  columns  emulated  the  esactest  mechanism 
and  Glogau  was  taken.  'What  wa-*  possible  under 
Fre^Ieric  Is  rarely  possible  uuder  a  coustitutioual 
Govemmont.  wiiere  the  fall  of  the  axe  must  bo  pre- 
ceded by  the  action  of  law.  To  insure  military 
obedience  nothing  must  interfere  between  the /wee* 
of  authority  and  crimiuallty,  'eilure,  or  even  remiss- 
cess.  CUarles  V.,  at  Ytiste,  coidd  not  make  a  dozen 
clocks  go  alike,  and  too  late  came  to  the  couclnsion 
that  if  he  was  not  able  to  insure  a-^cord  with  con- 
trivances simply  mechanical,  in  vain  was  the  hope  of 
m:ikiagm--'n  to  think  alike,  to  agree,  or  even  to  act 
together.  Xot  to  go  back  further  than  174.5,  the 
coalition  to  nip  and  crush  Frederic  tho  Great  in  this 
year  was  admirably  contrived,  but  the  nonpareil 
iVus-sian  broke  one  nipper  in  Bohemia  ;  his  General, 
the  old  L>essauer,  another  three  weeks  afterward  in 
Saiony  ;  and  wheu  two  were  smashed  the  third  had 
no  crushing  power.  The  same  sort  of  plan  was  full 
of  promise  as  to  catching  Napoleon  at  the  Boresina, 
in  1S12.  One  of  the  nippers  was  Tschit- 
chaagoff,  who  ditl  not  close  in  on  time, 
and  thus  th>>  want  of  coincidence  be- 
tween tho  three  Russian  armies  permitted  them, 
simply,  OS  it  were,  to  look  on  and  see  the  prey 
which  they  had  calculated  on  catching  suffer  miser- 
ebly,  struggle  through  with  difficulty,  but  still  escape. 
The  same  result  occurred  at  Leipsic  in  1MV3.  At 
Waterloo,  in  lai5,  "WelMngton  held  on,  and  old  Blu- 
chercamo  down  in  time  aud  Xapoleon  was  crushed. 
At  Sadowa,  in  ISGO,  the  two  Prussian  Armies 
worked  in  on  time  and  tho  Austrian  Army  and  Impe- 
rially were  humiliated.  At  Sedan,  in  1870,  the 
aio%-cments  of  all  the  Prussian  columns  were  like 
perfect! y-adjusted  clock-work.  They  came  together, 
:h&spcd  the  French  Army  in  their  jaws  of  steel,  and 
Napoleon  111.,  his  praatorians  and  his  dyniuty, 
were  alike  and  together  ground  up  by  these  teeth  of 
"  blood  and  iron."  The  same  was  the  case  throughout 
the  Prusso-French  campaign  in  1870-71,  and 
France — Imperial  and  Republican— was  everywhere 
champed  to  pieces.  In  1777  the  British  military 
claw  had  four  talons.  The  motive  power  was  ap- 
plied to  oae,  Burgoyne,  'In  time,  but  too  soon ;  to 
the  second,  Howe,  too  late  and  eccentrically.  The 
third,  St.  Leger,  wliich  ougat  to  have  been  tho 
strongest,  was  the  weakest.  The  fourth,  Clinton, 
was  brotight  to  bear  wheu  the  first  was  just  break- 
ing, when  the  second  had  dropped  ont,  and  after  the 
third  was  broken.  The  third  talon  of  the  British 
;law  was  thus:broken  at  Oriskany,  which  is  the  sub- 
ject of  this  article. 

It  Is  to  be  supposed  that  by  this  time  eve^oue  un- 
ierstauds  that  the  British  campaign  of  17/7  was  to 
have  been  a  combined  operation,  with  Albaity  as  the 
first  grand  objective.  Burgoj-ne  was  to  move  south- 
ward from  Muntrenl  np  ijake  Ch&mplain ;  Howe 
northwanl  from  New-Jersey  and  New-Tork,  up  the 
Hudson  Klver ;  St.  Leger  eastward  from  Ijake  On- 
tario, down  the  Mohawk  River.  Tho  latter  is  the 
route  by  wldch  CUutou  judiciously  observed  Bur- 
po\Tio  s&ould  have  made  his  "  great  push."  Simul- 
taneously with  Bureoynes  arrival  at  Fort  Edward, 
where  he  first  struck  the  Hudson  River,  or  within 
four  tlays  after  (31st  July  by  the  detachment  under 
tiieut.  Bird,  and  Ifd  August  by  his  own  forces,)  Brig.- 
Gen.  St.  L#eger  invested  Fort  Stanwix.  His  column, 
Bs  well  as  BuiEoyne's  army,  started  from  Montreal. 
The  former  had  along  cireuitous  jmimey,  whereas  the 
coarse  of  the  latter  was  almost  direct.  Lieutenant-

ceeded up  the  Onondaco  Kiver,  as  it  was  then  called,

the  divide,  a  plateau,  stood  "old  Fort  Schuyler,?'  ve 
Fort  Stanwix,  on  the  site  of  the  present  City  of  Rome. 
The  work  invested  was  constmoted  In  1776  by  |Col. 
Dayton,  but  the  French,  with  military  presdenco. 
had  originally  erected  a  post  on  the  same  spot,  when 
they  were  striving  for,  and  to  monoiiolize,  toe  Indian 
trade,  recognizing'  the  location  as  an  impdrtautiono 
from  every  p|oint  of  view.  ■ 

St.  Lcger's- force  numhered  about  1,400  men.!  Of 
these  only  075  wore  whites,  and  700  were  fichtlng 
Indian.^.  Perhaps  he  had  a  greater  number  of  ailult 
savages,  since  nothinc  is  so  unreliable  and  fluctuating 
as  such  a  force.  His  white  troops,  proper,  con- 
sisted first,  of  a  detachment  of  lOO  men  Crora 
the  Eighth  or  *'  King's  Regiment"  of  foot,  which  for 
ye^rs  was  distributed  in  forts  all  along  the  lakes. 
The  most  distant  British  post  to  the  north-west, 
Michlllmacinac,  was  garrisoned  by  this  corps  ;  Major 
Arent  Schuyler  de  Pevster,  of  New- York,  afterward 
Colonel,  B.  A-,  held  this  eommand.  He  was 
reamrkalde  for  his  Misc^Xlanici  and  Records  of 
yotev'orthy  Facts  in  relation  to  this  region  ;  sec6nd, 
of  a  detachment  of  100  men  from  tlie  Thirty-fotjrth 
Regiment ;  third,  of  342  Hanan  Chasseurs,  jhnd 
fourth,  of  13i3  men  from  Sir  John  Johnson's  ifegi- 
ment  of  Ndw-York  loyalists,  known  as  "Jolm- 
son's  Greens,"  or  "  Queen's  Lioyal  New-Yorkers." 
Charles  Fenno  Hoffman,  true  patriot  and  truest  New- 
Yorker,  records  that  Johnsons  <ireen8  and  Bntler's 
Rangers  "toed  the  mark  like  real  soldiers  upon  acall 
of  duty."  A*!  Sir  John  was  a  local  Major-General 
and  British  Colonel,  and  second  to  St.  Leger  in  g^en- 
eral  couunand,  tho  *■  Greens."  recruited  amongj  his 
tenants  and  neighbors  in  the  Mohawk  Valley,  were 
most  likely  under  the  more  immediate  leading  of!  his 
brother-in-law.  Major  Stephen  Watts,  of  New-'i^ork 
City.  This  yotmg  officer,  then  but  22  years  of  age, 
led  the  advance  from  Oswego  Falls  with  60  picked 
marksmen.  It  is  conceded  that  nothing  could  liavo 
been  more  adimirable  than  St.  Leger's  dispositionsi  for 
a  march  through  the  forests.  A  drawing  of  ;|the 
original  plan  was  found,  is  preserved,  and  has  been

THE  STORY  AS  GEN-ER.VLLT  TOLD. 

Prom  the  manner  in  which  the  story  is  generally 
told  and  bedeviled,  the  small  British  force  Is  made 
to  appear  as  if  ft  was  a  well-appointed  positive 
army,  whereas  the  garrison ,  at  Fort  Stauiwii 
equaled,  if  it  did  not  exceed,  the  white  investing 
force  by  nearly  200  men.  Then,  wlien  Gen.  H^rk- 
helmer  came  up  with  some  SOO,  (the  veraciotis  Stod- 
man  says  1.000.)  the  Colonists  had  more  whites  in 
the  Held,  in  this  operation,  than  the  British  hod 
whites  and  Indians  combined.  Fort  Stanwix  was  caom- 
mandedby  Peter Gansevoort,  Colonelin  the  New-ljork 
I  jne.  and  under  him  was  Lieut. -Col.  ^[arinns  Willett. 
Both  of  the.<«o  men  were  excellent  officers  and  soldiers 
of  experience.  Gansevoort  being  as  remarkable  j  for 
judgment  and  resolution  as  Willett  for  boldness  pnd 
enterprise  ;  Indeed,  two  better  men  could  not  have 
been  put  Into  a  fort  to  hold  it.  Their  two  regiments 
together  immberod  7oO.  and  Lleut.-Col.  Meltjon. 
escorting  supplies,  marched  in  on  the  '2d  Au|rust  with 
200  men,  making  in  all  a  fon-e  of  iti>0.  tort 
Schuyler  or  Fort  Stanwix.  was  a  suuare  fort  with  fbur 
bastions,  which  had  fallen  into  sad  decay.  A  French 
engineer,  who  had  been  recently  sent  by  Geu. 
Schuyler  to  superintt^nd  its  repairs,  showed  such 
incompetency  that  after  a  su-ti-ession  of  great  and 
greater  blunders,  Gaiisevoort  sent  him  l»fvck 
to  head-quarters.  .  Tliis  was  In  July.  Then 
tho  two  Colonels  tunied  engineers  them-Wlies, 
and  tlie  garrison,  under  their  direction,  had 
only  finished  tbe  work  at  nlijht,  when  next  mondng

be  applied  to  an  cuteriirisc  which  coiild  ouly  d!»i>«se

talked  of,  which  is  simply  absurd  In  view  of  the  fact 
that  the  attacking  force  had  but  two  or  three  5-i^ch 
"  Koyals " — little  juoitars  like  coehoms,  nlratost 
piayt'hiugs.  "Our  'Royals,'"  wnito  St.  i>'ger, 
'■  had  only  tlie  power  of  teizing"'  (tea&lns.)  (Ixvlii.) 
Undoubtedly  Fort  Stanwix  -wns  a  most  importiint 
position.  This  conceded,  wliat  itos.sessed  the  British 
Government  to  send  such  a  paltry  force  .iciiiWst

northward  to  its  junction  T^th  the  Mowhak,  early  on 
tho  *>th  of  August.  There  are  gr<at  discrepancies  in

THE  FATAL  AMBrSH  THAT  WAS  LAID. 

The  morning  was  dark,  sultrj-,  and  lowering,  almost 

the  very  worst  kiud  of  a  day  for  movements  in  the

which,  with  its  stmomadlnga  material  and  personal, 
became  as  perfect  a  trap  as  could  have  been  devised. 
They  reached  this  slaughter-pit  about  0  A.  M.,  having 
been  delayed  on  the  road,  by  the  contention  between 
Harkheimer  and  his  subordinates,  since  5  A.  M.  This 
Is  the  only  way  to  reeoncile  thte  hotrr  mentioned  in 
8t.  Leger  a  report  with  the  results.  The  ra%-ino, 
which  has  become  one  of  Freedom's  notable  spots, 
nerpentined  northward  and  southward,  and  Iwwing 
to  the  eastward,  had  a  marshy  Iwttom,  partially 
drained  by  a  little  nm.  The  only  means  or  getting 
across  the  bog  and  stream  was  a  primitive  corduroy 
road.  Ou  either  side  was  a  perfect  "  Slough  of 
Despond."  and  the  whole  constituted  a  "valley 
of  the  Shadow  of  Death,"  because  the  causeway 
and  route  were  bordered  by  heavy  timber  and  dem-w 
underwood-  Moreover,  tho  sides  of  tho  ravine,  cov- 
ered with  trees,  rose  Rteeplv  to  forest-clothed  upland. 
The  ambu.ica*le  set  by  Sir  John  Johnson,  Butler,  and 
Brant  consisted  of  about  80  whites— not  more— a  few 
regulars,  Johnton's  "Royals"  or  "Greens,"  and 
Brant's  Indians.  It  Is  not  likely  -that  altogether  the 
ambusli  comprised  numbers  much,  if  any,  superior  to 
the  Ameriramt.  * 

The  ambtwh  was  strongest  where  the  severest 
shock  was  most  likely  to  ooour,  and  the  toils  swept 
around  so  that  the  causeway  was  completely  evel- 
oped.  The  ambush,  in  fact,  was  a  circle  of  which 
only  a  small  segment  ^vas  left  open  where  the  road 
entered  it.  It  was  a  perfect  "box-trap,"  only  the 
Indian  impatience  to  skin  the  prey  induced  them  to 

ftull  the  string  too  soon,  and  thus  they  Rhut  out  some, 
nstcad  of  closing  in  all,  tho  game.  The  Americans 
marching  between  the  woods  ran  into  the  suare  set 
for  them,  just  a^  large  game  Is  directed  by  screens 
toward  the  spot  selected  for  the  "  battue,  around 
which  the  hunters  have  stationed  themselvfts.  Intent 
and  ou  the  alert  to  kill.  At  10  A.  M.  the  majority 
of  the  Americans  were  entrappe<l.  Tho  advanced 
guard  had  crowned  the  elevated  wooded  plateau 
on  the  western  side  of  the  ravine,  but  the 
main  body,  with  the  baggage  wagons,  were  down  in 
the  hollow.  Then,  it  is  said,  Brant  gave  the  signal, 
too  soon,  howe^'e^,  for  the  complete  success  of  the 
stratagem,  and  the  circle  closed,  cutting  off  retreat, 
but  at  the  same  time  shutting  out  the  rear  guard.  If 
the  IndlanR  had  restrained  their  ferocity  for  a  few 
miautes,  not  an  American  might  have  escaped.  As  It 
was,  they  commenced  to  lire  before  all  the  colonists 
were  wjtiiln  the  trap.  Those  of  the  Militia  who  had 
been  most  vehement  in  calling  Harkheimer  a  "  cow- 
ard "  were  In  the  rear,  aud  ran  away,  let'.vlug  their 
comrades  to  the  mercy  of  hidden  foes.  Col.  Vlsscher. 
with  the  rear  guard  proper,  who  had  not  reached  the 
causeway,  although  withoxit  the  circle  of  Are  which 
envelojHJii  his  friends  ran  disgracefully,  without 
thinking  of  assistiiig  his  brethren.  Visseher  and  his 
flyinc  coiniianitms  were  pursued  by  tho  Indians,  and 
manly  minds  must  hope  the  rewjrt  is  true  that 
they  had  a  harder  time  of  It  than  tho 
brave  men  who  fought  it  ont.  Col.  Cox, 
one  of  the  most  guilty,  nnd  as'in  of  Col.  Paris,  almost 
equally  so.  were  killed  by  tlie  flrr.t  volley  which  greet- 
ed Harklieimer's  column  as  it  entered  the  ravine.  Un- 
fortunatelv.  the^mmelireslmttered  Harkhelmer's  knee 
and  kllteil  liis  horse.  The  brave  old  man,  undaunted 
by  these  disasters,  ordered  his  saddle  to  be  taken 
from  the  dead  animal  and  placed  at  the  foot  of  a  large 
be<*(h  tree,  wht>se root  or  trunk  was  viaible  within  a 
taw  years.  ThtMi  lighting  hia  pipe,  ho  took  his  seat 
on  the  saddle  and  continued  to  direct  the  niovements 
of  his  tr*»<>ps  with  a  calmness  almost  bicredlble. 
Fortunately,  It  is  well  known  that  Ids  detailed  orders 
aud  advice  saved  all  who  were  saved  from  this 
slaughter-pit.  The  hardest  part  of  tho  flghtipg—

I  lated  in  his  meiui>irs,  by  the  Cold,  bigoted,  and  pltl- 
I  less  Duke  of  Berwick.  ^  He  said  he  never  could  recall 
'  the  sight  without  a  shudder  of  horror.  In  midbattlc, 
a  battalion  of  French  Protestants,  driven  ont  of 
Laucuedoc  uuder  their  fiimoits  hero  Cavalier,  en- 
countered a  regiment  of  Rom:iulst  French,  which  had 
been  among  their  persecutors  at  home.  Recognizim; 
each  other,  the  two  corps,  without  firing,  charged 
bayonet  and  engaged  iu  such  an  inveterate  slaughter 
that  Marshal  Benvick  testifies  of  the  aggregate  l.otK) 
effectives,  not  over  300  survived.  Gordon,  whose  In- 
timate acquuin^uce  with  the  details  of  revolutionary 
ocf  urrenees  is  iwmetimes  marvelous.  Is  the  only  hU- 
toriau  who ^ivtj's  a  correct  idea '»f  the  figlit  at  Oris- 
kany. To  us(*  a  ^-ulgar  but  most  uxjiressivo  term, 
after  the  first  volley,  it  was  n  urUrantlr,  bloody  "  phig- 
muss;''  u  '•  I>oiinyi)rook  Fair  '  with  deadly  weaiKuis: 
"wherever  you  S)**-  a  head,  hit  it."  After  llark- 
heimer's  tlrst  fire  answering  tlmt  of  the  enemy,  "the 
battle  was  a  scene  of  confusion  beyond  anything  the 
Indians  hnd  ever  witnessed.  The  ^vliite  jH^ople,  coii- 
filstlng  of  the  Militia  and  Sir  John  Johtison's  Tory 
troops,  as  his  own  corps  is  called,  got  together  in  par- 
ties of  20  or  30.  so  that  they  could  not  fire,  but 
pulled  and  hauled,  drew  their  knives  and  stabbetl 
each  other.  The  Indiana,  who  consisted  of 
Shawanese.  Delawares.  Scnecis.  and  others, 
after  a  while,  couleclured  from  their  own 
loss  .nnd  tho  •  confusion  wiiich  prevailed,  that 
both  Sir  John's  people  and  Harkheimer  e  intended 
to  destroy  them.  At  length  Rome  of  their  chiefs  told 
the  young  warriors  that  it  was  a  plot  of  the  white 
people  to  draw  them  Into  a  scrupe  and  cut  them  off. 
aud  then  the  chiefs  ordered  them  to  kill  all  white 
people  wlmtever.  It  in  thought  that  nearlv  as  many 
of  Sir  John  Johnson's  Tor}- pariv  were  killed  by  the 
Indians  as  by  the  Militia."'  The  fact  U,  it  was  a 
seething  whirlpool  of  spite,  passion,  and  vengeance, 
and  at  the  sight  of  such  an  etfusion  of  blood  poured 
forth  In  response  to  stabandslash.  t  nroducing  ghastly 
effects  impossible  from  bulletR.  the  fiuUans— like  wil5 
animals  at  the  sight  and  scent  of  blood — were  seized 
with  a  perfect  vertigo  for  slaughter,  and  in  their 

•  As  was  stated,  the  white  troop's.  Regulars  and 
Provincials  or  Loyalists,  under  St.  Leg-ir.  were  iess 
by  ohout  'J(K)  tlian  the  garrison  they  were  nominally  l>e- 
Hleginc,  and  there  were  leas  than  luO  Kegul&rs  aud  Pro- 
vincials, whites.  B^rP^rtini;  the  Indians  anniust  Hark- 
heimer. When  Col.  Willett  made  his  sortie  it  was  di- 
rected agaiust  that  portion  of  the  TlritL=h  lines  of  in- 
vestment which  had  1x*n  Rtripned  of  Sir  John  John- 
sou's  Loyalists,  to  wayla>-  and  stop  or  crush  Karkheiiccr. 
These,  or  the  wiirvirors  of  them,  were  recalled  to  reoccu- 
py  their  works  nnd  drive  back  "WiUett.  Had  Uiit  thia 
D'.'en  done,  not  one  of  the  Americans  who  bad  fallen  into 
the  trap  would  have  escaped  death  or  captivity.  It  wus 
this  recall  that  ended  the  flaht  of  Oriskany  and  srave  the 
(k)loni3ts  an  opnortunlty  of  clulmlne  it  as  a  repiili+e  or  a

It  was  one  of  the  bloodiest  "^ucoxmters,  proportiomuly,  la

t  There  are  some  curious  facts  in  connection  trlth  the 
battle  which  h.ave  never  Iwen  noteil  or  explained ;  one  of 
these  the  mention  of  spear-wounds  ihmctod  by  the 
American  oftlcers.  For  instance,  a  Capt.  Gardlnier  is  said 
to  have  mudc  a  desperate  dtfensc  with  a  spear.  This 
spear  mnst  have  been  an  esponlon.  or  spoutoun,  a  sort  of 
holf-pikewtiich  was  as  rauch  a  designation  of  rank  oh  au 
epaulet  or  any  part  of  an  offic'.r's  imiforuL  In  King 
■WUUam'fj  time,  and  for  quite  a  long  period  afterward. 
it  was  carried  !n  one  shape  or  another  by  all  regimental 
ofBcers,  from  Colonel  do^vn. 

Major  E.  lloyt.  wlio  published  a  Military  Dictionary.  In 
Greentteld,  Mass.,  in  1810-11,  gives  tho  following  defini- 
tion: '■  Ksponton.  !■>..  a  Rort  of  half-pike,  carried^- Cap- 
tains and  fuhaltem.s.  The  Militia  law  of  the  Cnited 
States  requires  that  the  commissioned  officers  shall  sev- 
erailv  be  armed  wiih  a  sword  or  hanger  and  espynton." 

•■  He  trails  a  half-pike,"  was  equivalent  to  saying  a  per- 
Bop  hold.'*  a  coniniiswlon. 

At  this  time  (1777)  Sergeants  of  foot  or  Infantry  and 
artillerj-earriiHl  Imlberd*.  "  a  sort  of  s-pear.  the  shaft  of 
which  6*  about  six  feet  long,  generally  made  of  ash.  Its 
hf^d  is  arrae«l  with  a  steel  point  edged  on  both  side^. 
Besides  this  poiat.  which  Is  in  a  line  with  the  shaft,  there 
is  u  cru»4-piece  of  iron,  flat  and  turned  down  at  one  end, 
hut  not  verj'  sha^.  so  that  it  iwrrves  erpially  to  cut  down 
or  thrust  vnth.  This  weapon  has  of  late  been  exclianged 
for  tho  half-pike  or  esponton.*"  Hence  the  expression 
"  to  get  a  halberd''  signified  to  receive  a  Senreant'a  war- 
rant, and  for  a  soldier  to  be  "  brought  to  the  halberds" 
meant  that  he  was  to  be  fiogged.  Hoffman,  In  hi.i  novel 
of  Greystaer,  strove  to  found  evciy  hicident  lu  the  ro- 
mance upon  a  fact.  He  spealfs  of  a  detachment  of

•with  tho  stronger  sentiment  of  fear. 

The  intemecinebutchory  at  Oriskany  lasted  from 
five  to  SIX  hours.  It  was  the  m>«it  terrible  contest 
of  the  war.  Scarcely  any  two  statemeuts  of  the 
casualties  ngr*»e.  It!  "is  claimed  that  out  of  Hark- 
heimer s  800.  some  200  were  killed,  outright,  '200 
more  left  on  the  field  wounded,  and  200  were  taken 
prisoners.  Almost  all  who  got  off  un.scathed  had 
not  been  completelji  involved  in  tho  ambuscade.  St. 
Leger  never  made  any  report  of  his  casualties.  G»r- 
don  (II.,  531)  in  his.  the  best  account  of  the 
battle,  mentions  llK>  killed,  besides  wounded,  but 
makes  no  mention  of  the  prisonerB.  Ramsay,  the 
anthortty  most  frequently  quoted  by  European 
writers,  agrees  with  Gordon.  Warren  says  : 
•'  Few  jr Americans!  I  escaped.  It  was  a  butch- 
ery." Stedjnan  sets  down  Harklieimer's  killed 
and  woundea  at  near  400,  and  states  that  onlj^' about 
on*-third  of  the  Amerienn.<!.  less  than  300  in  num- 
ber, escaped.  Murray  mentions  400  killed  (and 
wounded  f)  and  half!  that  number  prisoners.  Daw- 
sou's  language  is  nearly  UOO  slain,  besides  the 
wounde<l  and  prisoner*. 

Judging  frem  the  refmlts  nnd  subsequent  denend- 
ent  circumstances,  it  is  very  likely  that  tho  statement 
of  loss  which  seems  to  be  the  most  exaggerated  is 
the  most  correct.  Kapp  says  there  was  scarcely  a 
hooae  or  a  hut  in  the  (Mohawk)  valley  which  was 
not  plunged  In  affliction  through  the  death  either  of 
a  father,  a  brother.- or  a  fton,  and  spealcs  of  those  who 
escaped  from  the  field  "as  the  worn-out  and  ex- 
hausted Germans."'  The&e  retreat.cd  to  Port  Schuy- 
ler (now  Vtlca)  |  the  same  night,  nnd  on  the 
next  day  (7th)  atid  day  foUowhjg.  sought  their 
respectives  homes.  For  the  time  being  there  was  no 
more  fight  left  In  tlie  population  of  thi*;  district.  St. 
Leger.  who  tells  his  story  too  concisely  to  justify  a 
chaise  of  perverting  the  truth,  reports  tlms:  "In  re- 
lation to  the  victory,  (it  was  equally  complete  as  if -the 
whole  had  fallen  ;  nay,  more  so,  as  the  200  who  es- 
caped only  served  to  spread  the  panic  wider."  In  a 
letter  to  Btirgoyne,  dated  11th  Atignst,  and  quoted 
by  Losslng,  St.'Liftger  says  :  "Above  400  [patriots] 
lay  dead  on  the  fieldj  nmong  tho  number  of  whom 
were  almost  all  of  the  principal  movers  of  the  rebel- 
lion in  that  [Tryou]  county. 

"The  enemy  [Bi-itish]  also  claimed  to  have  taken 
200  prisoners,'"  The  Indians  lost  at  leant  70  or  80, 
among  whom  were  a  number  of  chiefs — enough  to 
more  than  t.ike  the  edge  off  their  desire  for  further 
fighting.  They  were  charged  with  killing  friend  and 
foe  Indiscriminately.  During  the  shower  which  in- 
terrupted the  nmin  battle  which  must  have  been  less 
vehement  around  the  fort.  Col.  'Willett  made  a  glori- 
ous sortie,  and  brought  in  three  times  seven  wajcon 
loads  of  captured  artirdes.  Among  the  trophies,  it  is 
claimed,  were  live  British  fiags — found,  not  cap- 
tured (most  likely  camp-colors  or  markers) — wliich 
were  dlsplaved  this  night  on  the  ramparts  of  the 
fort,  beneath  the  victorioTis  "Stars  aud  Stripes:' 
the  first  Stars  and  .Stripes  which  were  ever  unfurled 
under  ;the  Resolution  of  Congress  passed  i4th  of 
Juno  preceding. 

Thislflnir.  bom  14th. June.  1777.  was  first  hoisted 
at  Fort  Stanwix  or  Schuyler,  0th  August.  1777.  and 
was  first  displayed  at  the  head  of  an  army  to  receive 
the  surrender  u'f  Burgo>-ue  17th  October,  iu  the  same 
year. 

The  historical  flag  of  Fort  Stanwix,  according  to 
Col.  Marhms  Willett,  second  in  coniinand  of  the  ear- 
rison,  was  a  curious  jdeee  of  needlework.  "The 
white  .^tripes  were  cut  out  of  ammunition  shirts,  the 
bine  (field)  out  of  the  i  catulot  clonk  taken  by  Col. 
Willett,  Sunday,  2;id  Mareb,  1777,  from  the  enemy 
(British)  at  Peekskill,  while  the  red  stripes  were 
made  of  different  pieces  of  stuff  procured  from  one 
and  unpther  of  tlie  gnrrison.'' 

Such^was  the  Batjtle  <Tf  Oriskany,  whifh.  judged 
according  to  the  acknowledged  nUo  of  Haltam.  and 
Its  ftpi(]ir-allon  by  Cri'itsy,  was  the  "decisive  battle" 
of  the  ]ie volution.  It  \ras  decisive  because  it  settled 
tlie  res  lit  of  the  Hui^oyne  campaign.  Had  St.  T^ger 
taken  I'ort  Stanwix.  he  mus*  have  gone  to  Albanv.

Burgoyno's  plans. 

It  is  Jmnn  remarkable  as  bein:*.  for  the  numbers

ING TO  ITS  SUPPRESSION. 
From  iKt  London  Standard,  Juiy  23. 
A  public  zneetiiig,  convened  by  the  Church 
Assooiatlon.  was  held  In  Exeter  Hall  on  Friday  night, 
to  protest  against  aurieolar  confession  in  the  Church 
of  England.  Mr.  Thomas  R.  Andrews,  Chairman  of 
the  Cotuunl  of  the  association,  presided,  and  the  hall 
was  crowded.  The  Chairman  said  thoy  had  met  to 
protest  against  that  abomination,  priestly  sacra- 
mental confession  tn  the  Church  of  England,  [cheers 
and  hisses.  ]  and  not  only  to  protest  against 
it,  but  to  take  such  steps  as  should  ^ve  tangi- 
ble and  enduring  effect  to  their  protest.  [Cheers.] 
He,  and  those  for  whom  he  spoke,  desired 
to  maintain'  the  pure  Scriptural  principles  of  the 
Church  of  England,  which  were  restored  to  her  at  the 
Reformation ;  and  they  demanded  that  the  Church 
should  be  completely  purged  from  Romanizing  con- 
spirators [cheers]  and  priestly  confessors,  who,  while 
eating  her  bread,  were  betraying  her  principles — 
principles  which  they  had  sworn  to  maintain  and  de- 
fend. [Cheers  and  some  interruption.]  The  conduct 
of  the  Bishops  in  coimection  with  this  matter  had 
been  severely  commented  upon,  and,  for  himself,  he 
believed  that  if  in  the  past  their  lordships  had  acted 
fully  up  to  their  responsibility,  and  had  spoken  out 
with  that  decision  which  their  duty  demanded,  that 
which  was  now  eating  the  core  out  of  the  Protestant 
Cliurch  would  have  been  nipped  in  the  bud. 
[Cheers.]  But  tl'e  Bishops  had  now  another  oppor- 
tunity, and  If  they  did  not  take  advant^e  of  it  so 
much  the  worse  for  them.  [Cheers.]  Their  action,  how- 
ever, must  not  be  tardy  in  Its  operation,  but  mu.st  be 
sharp,  decisive,  and  uncompromising.  [Cheers. ) 
The  day  for  soft  speaking  was  over.  Th^  must  do 
more  than  not  patronize  the  wrongdoers.  They  must 
not  speak  of  suclt  men  as  excellent  men.  and  fear  to 
cut  them  off  from  the  Church.  The  imperative  duty 
which  lay  before  them  was  utterly  to  eliminate  and 
eradicate  the  vile  system  of  confession  in  the  Church 
of  England.  [Cheers.]  They  had  all  heard  of  the 
volume  called  The  i^riest  in  Abtolution.  That  was  a 
most  detestable  book ;  but  it  was  very  likely  that  the 
work  Itself  would  bo  given  up.  Men  would,  as  some 
did  now,  disclaim  It,  and  say  they  never  knew  it. 
[Laughter.]  But  those  whom  he  addressed  must  not 
ue  diverted  from  their  object,  and  that  was  to  cleanse 
the  Church  of  that  system  of  confession  which  was 
at  present  80  extensively  practiced,  and  which  bad  a 
bUghtine  effect  upon  eooal  purity  and  confidence  in 
the  homes  of  the  people.     [Cheers.] 

SirThonaas  Chambers,  M.  P.,  moved  the  first  reso- 
lution :  That  this  meeting,  viewing  with  deep  alarm 
certain  recent  disclosures  as  to  the  prevalence  of  the 
teaching  and  practice  of  auricular  confession  by 
clergymen  of  the  Chtireh  of  England,  and  regarding 
the  practice  as  alien  to  her  articles  and  formularies, 
fraught  ivith  peril  to  her  existence  as  an  efttablisb- 
ment,  and  subversive  alike  of  the  principles  of  moral- 
ity, social  order,  and  civil  and  religious  Itbertv,  re- 
solves that  a  dutiful  and  loyal  address  in  accordance 
with  these  sentiments  be  presented  to  her  most 
gracious  majesty  the  Queen.  (Cheers.]  The  reso- 
lution, be  said,  expressed  alarm  at  the  prevalence 
of  thiD  teacldng  and  practice  of  auricular  con- 
fession, aud  he  for  one  bebeved  that  that 
alarm  was  justified.  ^iVhat  where  the  facts  1  In 
1S53  cnie  clergyman  m  the  West  of  London 
was  found  to  be  teaching  and  practicing  confession. 
He  was  detected,  he  was  convicted,  and  he  was 
turned  out  of  the  diocese.  fLoud  cheers. j  In  1873 
483  clergymen  of  the  Church  of  England  were  found 
willing  to 'subscribe  a  memorial  to  Convocation,  pray- 
ing that  body  to  enact  a  system  of  confession  and  to 
train  priests  for  that  purpose.  Lastlv,  in  1877,  700 
clergymen  of  the  Church  were  found  oanded  together 
witli'tbe  view  of  promoting  that  and  other  objects. 
[Hear,  hear.]  In  the  Established  Church,  therefore, 
within  a  period  of  20  years,  they  had  passed  from  a 
f'ingle  man  proposing  and  practising  auricu- 
lar confession  to  700  clergymen  being 
united,  as  he  had  indicated.  [At  this 
stage  of  the  proceedings  a  prolong  d 
iuterraption  was  caused  owing  to  the  action  of  some 
individu.^ls  who  did  not  appear  to  coincide  in  the  re- 
m.'irks  of  the  speaker  or  in  the  resolution  which  he 
had  submitted.  Comparative  quiet  having  been  re- 
stored. Sir  Thomas  Chambers  proceeded  with  hU  ad- 
dress. ]  The  resolution  also  declared  that  this  practice 
of  conression  wa«  subversive  of  the  principles  of 
morality.  Who  could  doubt  it  f  It  was  a  shame 
even  to  speak  of  these  things.  [Cheers.]  Yet 
they  were  to  be  miuutely  discussed  in  all 
their  loathsome  and  uuspvakably  horrible  de- 
tails, and  digested  into  a  system  of  ob- 
scenity^ [cheeni] — a  system  to  oe  applied  at 
solemn  moments,  with  a  wretched  victim  writhing 
uuder  the  t\Tanny  of  a  priest,  not  penitent  before 
tlie  eve  of  Infinite  Purity  and  Mercy,  but  ashamed 
aud  degraded  before  the  prurient  gaze  of  a  human 
confessor.  [Cheers.]  Auricular  confession  was 
uothini;  less  than  a  practice  of  spiritual  vivisec- 
tion. [Cheers.I  "W'hy  had  it  been  Introduced  into 
the  Clmi-eh  t  \\  hat  was  its  avowed  object  i  Its  avowed 
object  was  to  detect  .and  drag  to  light  the  hidden  lusts 
nnd  secret  depravities  of  the  heart.  Was  it  right  to 
do  that  f  [Cries  of  "No."]  Ke  unhesitatingly  affirmed 
that  for  such  a  process  as  that  whicli  they  liad  met 
t*j  fondemn  there  was  no  kind  of  warranty  whatever 
In  Holy  Scriptxire.  Could  any  one  doubt,  also,  that 
the  pmcllce  of  confession  wa.<i  subversive  of  social 
onler  i  Family  life  had.  hitherto  been  one  of  the 
j.rides  and  glories  of  England  :  but  family  life,  as  we 
unilerstood  it.  had  never  been  found  to  exist  in  a 
countr>-  where  priestly  and  auricular  confession  was 
tolei-aied.  fCheers.l  '  Civil  and  religious  liberty  like- 
wise was  endangered  by  tills  practice,  for  since  tho 
world  begun  th<?ro  had  never  l>een  a  tyranny  so 
ubiquitous  or  a  despotism  so  great  as  the  power  of 
the  priest. 

Mr.  E.  Grerne.  M-  P..  seconded  the  resolution. 
They  had.  he  -said  arrived  at  a  crisis,  and  uikju  tliis 
)|ueNt  ion  of  confession  In  the  Church  of  England  tho 
Jnliy  mu-^t  once  aud  for  all  prononnce  a  distinct  and 
emphatic  declshm,  (Clieers.]  As  a  Churchman,  an 
Englishraan  and  a  I'rotestunt.  be  decbired  that  th« 
men  who  carried  on  that  abominable  practice  iu  thu 
Church  were  conspirators.  (Loud  cheers.]  Their 
proper  plac«  was  the  Church  of  Rome  :  and  they 
must  not  be  allowed  any  longer  to  remain  in  a  church 
which  they  had  disgraced.  [Loud  aud  continued 
cheering.]'  A  petition  had  been  presented  to 
the  Queen  asking  her  to  allow  this  abomin- 
able system  to  be  continued.  He  did  not 
tlunk  a  greater  Insult  had  ever  been  offered  to  her 
Mujestv.  [Cheers.]  If  he  knsw  anythiug  of  tbeQueen 
he  was  sure  that  she  would  be  no  party  to  a  coun- 
tenence  of  men  who  would.  It  tliey  had  their  way, 
reduce  the  people  to  a  state  of  thraldom  which  it 
would  be  bitter  indeed  to  bear.  [Heir,  hear.]  He  re- 
garded such  men  with  disgust  and  Indignation,  [loud 
ciieers.  ]  aud  he  hoped  the  action  of  the  laity  in  re- 
g.-ird  to  them  would  be  of  no  uncertain  character,  and 
that  hundreds  of  petitions  of  the  right  sort  would  go 
up  to  her  Majesty.    [Cheers.] 

Tho  resolution  was  carried  by  acclamation,  only  a 
few  hands  being  held  up  against  it. 

Mr.  Newdegate,  M.  P.,  moved  the  second  resolu- 
tion ;  "  That  this  meeting  urgently  calls  npon  the 
Bishops  to  use  all  their  authority  and  iuduence  for 
the  effectual  discouragement  of  the  practice  of  auricti- 
litr  confession,  whether  in  ordaining  candidates  for 
holy  orders,  in  the  granting  or  withdrawing  the 
licenses  of  curates.  In  giving  permission  to  officiate 
or  t^ike  part  in  missions,  in  the  consecration  of  places 
of  worship,  in  the  exercise  of  their  patronage, 
and  more  especially  in  the  control  of  theo- 
logical colleges.  parochial.  Woodard,  and 
other  schools.  And  if  these  means  be  found 
insufficient,  this  meeting  would  respectfuJlv  sug- 
gest to  their  lordships  to  devise  more  elective 
measures — if  necessary  bv  an  appeal  to  the  Legisla- 
ture— to  eradicate  an  e^•if  so  repugnant  to  the  feelings 
of  this  Protestant  country.  And  this  meetmg  re- 
quests the  Chainnan  to  transmit  these  resolutions  to 
the  Archbishops  and  Bishops.''  He  must,  he  said, 
complain  that  the  Bishops  had  not  been  diligent  in  re- 
pressing the  practice  of  auricular  confession  ;  and  the 
time  had  come  when  they  must  Imperatively  call 
upon  them  to  enforce  the  principles  and  cairry  out  tho 
law  of  which  they  were  the  appointed  officers.  A 
practice  was  belna;  carried  on  which  was  dangerous 
to  the  purity  of  family  life  and  to  society  at  large, 
and  which  must  be  put  an  end  to.  It  was  downricbt 
usurpation  in  any  priest  to  set  himself  up  as  a  judge 
of  the  conscience  of  another,  aud  that  was  what 
the  priest  claimed  to  be.  [A  Voice :  "  No 
no.']  Why.  in  that  vile  book.  The  Priest  in  Absoln- 
Hon,  it  was  distinctly  stated  that  "the  priest  is  judge 
in  the  place  of  trod."  TCries  of  "Shame."]  What 
was  that  but  utter  blasphemyf  [Cheers.]  The 
confessional  inflicted  a  searching  slavery  upon  all 
who  submitted  to  it :  and  he  asked  those  who  heard 
him  to  take  care  that  at  future  elections  men  should 
be  returned  to  Parliament  who  would  effect  a  reforma- 
tion of  the  ecclesiastical  courts  of  law,  so  that  if  the 
persons  who  now  practiced  aurictilar  confession  In 
the  Church  of  England  would  not  yield  to  the  influ- 
ence and  authority  of  the  Archbishops  and  Bishops, 
a  law  might  b*' framed  which  those  ArcJiblsbops  and 
Bishops  might  enforce  without  being  ruined.  [Heai-, 
hear.] 

Mr.  H.  B.  Strangways  seconded  the  resolution. 
He  thought  that  any  man  who  found  a  priest  In  his 
hotise  carrying  on  this  abominable  system  of  auricu- 
lar confession  would  be  fully  justified  in  kicking  him 
out,  [loud  and  prolonged  cheering:]  aud  If  the  priest 
who  was  so  kicked  out  were  ta  bring  an  action  for  as- 
sault and  battery,  and  if  he  were  one  of  the  jurors 
in  the  case,  his  verdict  would  be  a  very  short  one — 
'■  Serve  him  right"  [cheers-J  Men  must  no  longer  be 
permitted,  under  the  cloak  of  the  Church  and  the 

Else  of  religion,  to  corrupt  the  pure  minds  of  Eng- 
h  girls  and  women. 

Tlie  resolution  wa:?  cordially  agreed  to. 

Mr.  J.  Bateman  moved  the  third  resolution :  *'  That 
this  meeting  Invites  all  loyal  churchmen,  both  in  this 
country  and  hs  colonies,  to  como  forward  and 
strengthen  the  hands  of  the  Church  Association,  the 
more  so  as  that  body  can  now  appeal  to  its  past 
career  as  a  pledge  that  its  future  exertions  will  be 
steadfastly  directed  toward  the  maintenance  in  all 
their  purity  of  the  Protestant  principles  of  the  national 
Churtih."  He  congratulated  those  who  had  taken  ac- 
tion in  this  matter  not  only  on  the  very  large  gather- 
ing to  whom  he  now  spoke,  but  on  the 
fact  that  a  second  meeting  had  been  held  In 
the  lower  hall,  which  was  closely  packed,  and  which 
was  quite  as  euthu-siaBtic  and  unanimous  as  the  pres' 
ent.  [Cheers.]  With  reference  to  the  men  who  car- 
ried ou  aurictilar  confession  in  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land, he  thought  it  was  no  exaggeration  of  language 
to  call  them  "  sneaking  scoundrels."  [Loud  and  jiro- 
longed  cheering.]  The  establishment  was  degraded 
by  lueir  presence,  and  the  Bishops  did  not  ap»^ar 
to  know  what  to  do  with  them,  but  he  hoped  that 
one  result  of  this  meeting  wonld  ba  that  the  Bishops 
would  leave  off  twiddling  their  flngers.  and  would

Bev.  Dr.  Watnwrisht  sveonded  Uie  resolution. 
Since  the  d&ys  of  the  Stuarts  (be  ivmadEed)  it  had 
never  been  more  necesasry  than  at  the  present  time 
to  speak  out  trumpet -tongued  on  this  matter-  He 
earnestly  hoped  tliat  the  enthusiasm  which  the  meet- 
ing had  exhibited  would  not  be  allowed  to  evaporate, 
but  that  the  feelings  of  bis  hearers  would  traoslate 
themselves  into  vigorous  action.  [Cheers.] 
The  resohition  was  agreed  to. 

A  vote  of  thanks  to  the  Chaimaa  brought  the 
meeting  to  a  dose.

HOW  THE  PEOPLE  OF  NORTHERN  IOWA  ARE 
^  AFFLICTED  WITH  RECKLESS  WANDERERS 
*      — ^ATTEMPTS      TO       CAPTURE      RAILROAD 

TRAINS. 

A  letter  from  Plytnotith,  Iowa,  to  the  St  Paul 
(Minn.)  Pion<tfr-Prc5*  gives  a  doleful  account  of  the 
troubles  occasioned  by  the  almost  tnanmerable 
tramps  in  that  section.  It  says:  "Ever  nnee  the 
weather  became  warm  enough  for  them  to  sleep  out 
of  doors,  they  have  been  everywhere  present,  beg- 
ging for  something  to  eat,  and  often  demtndlng, 
when  the  man  of  the  hooae  was  absent,  accompany- 
ing their  demands  with  threats  and  vile  laagoage. 
Their  appearance,  on  the  whole,  Is  the  most  disgust- 
ing and  repulsive  that  can  be  imagined.  The  late  dis* 
turbauco  and  the  approaching  harvest  have  caused  a 
norde  of  them  to  Join  the  harvest  hands  going  north- 
ward, and,  following  the  examples  of  their  Eastern 
brethren,  they  have  been  dictating  terms  for  their 
transportation  uid  subsistence.  Tuesday,  24th  inst., 
they  came  from  the  towTis  below  by  the  Burlington, 
Cedar  Rapids  and  Northern  Railroad,  to  the  num- 
ber of  150  or  more,  and  swarmed  around 
our  little  village  like  a  nest  of  wasps, 
waiting  for  the  afternoon  freight  on  the 
Chicago.  Milwaukee  and  St.  Paul  Railroad-  Tlie 
conductor,  Prank  Langliam,  is  one  of  those  men  who 
proposes  to  nm  his  own  train,  and  before  they  had 
fairly  boarded  he  cleared  the  car,  backed  np  the 
track,  and  took  a  nm  through  that  left  them  waiting, 
AU  that  night  we  stood  guard.  After  exhausting. 
the  supplies  of  the  village  they  visited  the  hcji- 
roosts  and  potato  patches  around  for  ftirther  relief. 
The  next  morning  they  waited  for  the  passenger 
train,  but  it  had  a  guard  for  protection,  and  they 
made  no  demonstration,  but  armed  themselves  for 
the  freight,  .\nxiously  they  waited,  each  with  a 
clnb,  until  about  7  P.  Si.,  when  the  welcome  whistle 
announced  its  approach.  By  orders  from  their  Cap- 
tain they  form&d  in  line  on  the  platform,  and  tlie 
train  which  they  boasted  for  the  whole  d^y 
the^  would  capture  gradually  slackened,  when  -  to 
theur  amazement  the  Sheriff  "of  thecoimty,  accom- 
panied by  O.  "W.  Sanborn.  Assistant  Superintendent 
Con.  Hoxle.  and  about  50  of  the  leading  citUens  of 
Mason  City,  disarmed  them,  after  which  they  were 
addressed  by  the  Sheriff.  As  they  wished  to  move 
north  they  were  put  in  some  coal 'cars  and  secured, 
the  escort  accompanying  them  north  as  far  as  Car- 
penter, wiiere  a  detachment  had  preceded  them. 
Thursday  afternoon,  25th  lusL,  by  the  same 
road,  the  Burlington,  Cedar  Rapids  and  North- 
ern, another  laiger  detachment  urived,  com- 
pletely flllinp  four  box  cars.  and  covering 
their  roofs.  They  announced  that  they  had  taken  tho 
train,  and  bsd  captured  a  tr^n  on  the  Chicago  & 
Northwestern  Railroad,  and  their  Captain,  called 
'Scotty,'  told  the  agent  here  to  order  transportation 
from  the  Superintendent  north,  for  they  were 
going  on  the  1:20  train,  'peaceably  *if  thev 
could ;  forcibly  if  they  must.'  Houses  and 
stores  were  mostly  closed  and  guarded.  Word 
was  sent  to  our  Sheriff.  but  tJX  waited 
In  expectation  until  near  night,  when  the  Bur- 
lington engine  came  iu  to  take  "freight  South.  As 
they  haulfMl  the  train  out  of  tlie  switch  on  the  main 
track  the  Captain.  '.Scotty,'  and  a  detachment 
boarded  it  and  set  the  brakt^s,  and  the  whole  crowd 
rushed  for  t  he  train,  but  the  engine  was  uncoupled, 
and.  to  their  disgust,  left  for  the  south,  leaving  the 
train  standing  on  the  track.  Bitter  was  their  curs- 
ing, and  long  they  labored  to  push  a  portion  of  the 
cars  on  the  switch.  About  7  o'clock  they  discovered 
an  engine  to  the  south  npproachiiig,  and  Scotty  and 
his  engineer  again  went  toward  them,  thlnldiu?  the 
same  engine  liad  returned,  and  •  to  claim  it  was  a 
mistjikf.'  that  they  thought  it  the  mail  train,  ice, 
but  they  met  our  Sheriff,  H.  H.  Schell.  and  Capt. 
Dexter  and   a  detachment.    110  in  number,   of  Com- 

{)any  A.  Sixth  Regiment,  Stste  Militia,  who  were 
oolong  after  them,  and  sent  them  back  to 
Mason  City,  and  then  proceeded  to  Plymouth, 
where  in  a  '  few  minutes  tho  bayonets 
of  the  boys  were  directing  them  toward 
a  central  point  uear  the  depot  here.  After  furnish- 
ing them  all  the  crackers  remaining  in  the  town,  they 
were  directed  to  proceed  on  their  way  north  and  dis'- 
perse,  being  escorted  about  four  miles  on  the  road. 
They  showed  their  disgust  and  feelings  by  piling  ties 
on  the  track  and  breaking  the  wire,  and  a  portion  of 
them  rallied  at  Carpenter  to  try  to  force  a  free  ride. 
The  morning  train  took  up  a  small  guard,  wbich  pro- 
ceeded to  disperse  them,  as  Carpenter  and  nearly  all 
of  them  clearly  understand  that  Mr.  Sanborn  and  the 
employes  of  our  road  Intend  to  manage  their  own 
affairs,  and  are  succeeding  so  far.  There  were  over 
300  in  this  last  arrival,  but  at  this  date  the  roast  is 
clear.  We  hear  of  1,500  more  yet  to  come.  Let 
the  citizens  of  Minnesota  cot  their  revolvers  in 
order,  load  their  shot-guns  with  buck-shot  and  pass 
them  on.  And  let  all  honest  harvesters  looking  for 
work  avoid  h.ueh  company,  an4  keep  clear  of  crowds 
aud  pay  their  way."

WOMEXSCHOOL  OFFICIALS  IX  CALIFORXIA 
The  San  Francisco  BuUetin  says :  *■  There  are 
at  present  three  counties  where  ladles  hold  the  posi- 
tion of  Superintendent  of  Common  Schools.  These 
are  Mono.  Trinity,  and  Tuolumne.  The  Placer  Re- 
publicans have  this  year  made  a  new  departure,  and 
placed  a  lady  in  nomination  for  the  office  of  County 
Superintendent.  The  name  of  the  bidy  who  thus 
enters  upon  the  arena  of  political  life  Is  Mrs.  Charles 
Pitcher.  It  must  be  a  source  of  satisfaction  to  her 
that  the  first  ballot  lauded  her  with  a  triumphant  ma- 
jority over  her  male  competitor,  and  secured  her  the 
nomination.  She  has  now  to  appeal  to  the  larger 
convention— the  people  of  the  county.  The  statute 
making  women  eligible  for  position  under  the 
School  law  was  pa^ed  at  the  session  of  1S73-74. 
They  have,  however,  been  more  successful  when 
seeking  the  ofhce  of  School  Trustee  than  in  their 
efforts  to  obtain  the  position  of  County  Superin- 
tendent. Although  several  women  were  successful 
before  the  nominating  conventions  two  ^ears  ago, 
only  in  tho  three  counties  named  above  did  they  se- 
cure elections.  An  effort  was  made  during  the  last 
session  to  repeal  the  law.  but  it  was  unsnccessfnl.  It 
is  claimed  In  some  quarters  that  the  law  is  unconsti- 
tutionxd  on  the  ground  that  no  person  is  eligible  to  be 
elected  to  any  o&ce  who  is  uot  a  duly  qualined  voter. 
But  no  person  has  yet  been  found  who  is  sufficiently 
ungallant  to  take  the  case  into  tlie  courts." 

OLI>  HATS  MADE  WORSE. 
Some  annoying  expericacea  by  two  Albany 
lawyers,  who  value  a  good-looking  hat,  are  thus  set 
forth  by  the  Time*  of  that  city :  ''  A  few  days  since  a 
peddler  entered  the  law  office  of  Mr.  A.  B.  Pratt,  and 
dilated  on  the  merits  of  a  bat-poliahing  liquid  that  he 
was  selling,  saying  It  was  used  Lu  all  the  large  hat 
mantif actories  in  the  countrj*,  and  that  by  a  simple 
appliance  of  it  old  hats  could  be  xoade  10  look  as  good 
as  new.  Sixitlug  the  action  to  the  word,  be  took  one 
of  Mr.  Pratt's  nearly  new  hats  and  applied  some  of 
tne  material.  It  appeared  to  work  well,  and  imparted 
a  slosay  apnearance.    Mr.  Pratt  purciiAsed  a  bottle 


«f  the  liquid,  M  alio  did  Mr.  Stflet.  snoth  v  bnm'i 
yfbo,  aa  soon  sa  he  returned  to  his  office,  "j^^*^ 
some  of  the  liquid,  and  with  scorning  like  elTaat  ■•  ia 
the  c«ae  of  Mr.  PraU's  hat.  Te£t«rdAy  the  hats  wan 
looked  St,  and  aeemeil  to  have  a  traniparent  appear 
ance.  A  few  moment's  exposure  to  the  sun,  ana  tbf 
substance  cracked,  giving  to  the  hats  a  sliocking  ap 
pearance.  The  tluid  was  glue  or  some  geUtlnoo* 
substance,  and  the  hats  were  spoiled.  The  Uwyen 
waxed  wroth,  but  it  was  no  use,  the  peddler  wai 
gone."

and  Minnesota,  and  ono  firm  here  manufacturei 
goods  for  that  purpose  to  tho  annual  value  of  aboal 
$100,000.  The  hardy  and  eccentric  workcra^tfac 
giant  industry  of  the  North-west  require  igarments 
of  peculiar  material  and  make.  They  aire  subjected 
to  the  severest  of  Winter  weather  while  in  libe 
woods,  and  when  on  the  river  they  are  always  vet, 
frmn  the  time  tho  ''  drive  "  staxts  until  it  -teachea  Its 
deatlnatiou.  Tbedr  garments  must,  therefore,  be  all 
wool  and  of  the  thickest  andbeavfcst  description,  and 
manv  of  the  men,  having  no  particu'ar  idiosyn- 
crasies in  favor  of  frequent  changes  of  garments 
seldom  possess  at  a  time  more  than  the  one  stout 
suit  which  covers  them.  But  although  fickle  fashior 
causes  no  demand  for  superfluous  ganaents  among 
them,  the  number  of  men  en^^a^ed  in  lumbering  is  «c 
large  that  the  quantity  of  clothing  used  by  them  ii 
enormous,  and  the  peculiarities  of  their  avocation 
and  the  eccentric  character  of  the  men  themselves 
neces-sitates  the  manufacture  ef  cloth  and  clothing 
especially  adapted  for  them,  and  differing  consider- 
ably from  that  worn  by  workmen  engaged  in  other 
industries.  The  costumes  of  the  lumbermen  of 
Maine,  Pennsylvania,  the  BritUih  Provinces,  and- 
other  sections  of  the  country  are  similar  to  tbose  of 
the  North-west,  but  the  number  of  men  employed  in 
the  former  regions  is  insignificant  as  compared  with 
the  latter. 

The  material  of  a  large  proportion  of  the  lumber- 
men's clothinc  now  manufactured  Is  similar  to  thai 
of  tho  "Mackinaw  blankets"  mode  fur  the  Indlar 
wards  of  the  United  States  Government,  aud  it  li 
becoming  quite  generally  known  among  the  tradi 
as  '*  Mackinaw  p«*ods."  Tlie  cloth  is  most  of  It  madi 
by  carpet  manufacturers  who  have  the  contracts  £0: 
malaiig  the  blankets  fur  the  Government ;  It  Is  o: 
extraordinary  weight  and  thicknerts.  and  is*  colored 
either  scarlet,  blue,  or  green.  The  garmenta  art 
manufactured  in  Boston.  Chicago,  New-York,  au^ 
other  citleti.  and  arv  retailed  in  all  the  towns  con- 
tiguous to  the  Iumt>er  retri<'ns,  lumbermen's  clothing 
being  one  of  the  most  profitable  features  of  the  fur- 
nishing stores  of  those  sections. 

The  costume  of  a  lumberman  consists  of  uudeAhW 
and  drawers,  overshirt.  pants,  a  larjre  scarlet  sash 
around  the  waist,  hi^h  boots,  woolen  stockings — 
generally  country -kuit — hat.  jacket  or  ooat.  mud  . 
woolen  mittens,  lined  with  buckskin.  This  Is  a  com- 
plete lumberman's  outfit,  as  far  as  clothing  is  con- 
cerned ;  and.  witn  the  exception  of  hat  and  boots.  aL* 
of  the  articles  are  now  made  of  3Iackinaw  gooda 
though  underclothing  of  that  material  is  not  in  bc 
common  use  as  are  overshirts.  pants,  and  jacketa 
Many  of  the  undershirts  are  made  of  knit  goods  01 
of  common  bed  blankets,  and  when  of  the  l&ttei 
material  the  whole  blanlfet,  includinj;  the  stripec 
portion,  is  cut  up  in  the  most  convenient  manner.  M 
that  the  stripes  appear  sometimefl  In  one,  and  sora& 
times  in  another  portion  of  the  shirt. 

The  Itunberman  usually  seleclit  a  suit  all  of  Oftc 
color — generally  ^thor  Bcarlet  or  blue  tltroo^hoaft, 
though  the  Rash  is  rarely  of  any  color  but  scarleC 
Pr»queutly  the -whole  crew  of  a  lumber  camp  eelecl 
clothes  of  a  uniform  color,  and  their  appearance 
when  in  the  woods  50  or  100  miles  from  civUin- 
tlon,  dressed  iu  costumes  of  bright  tcariel  or  azurtt. 
Is  verypicturesque.  and,  withal,  somewhat  brigand- 
ish. They  are  uot  alwaj-s  moved  to  the  selectkin  of  ■ 
similar  t-olorvd  garments  by  a  jioetic  deUre  for  pbc- 
turesqueness,  however  ^  their  motive  Is  sometimca 
more  practical,  being  a  desire  -to  avoid  conspicuoua- 
ness.  lor  if  one  or  two  men  are  dressed  In  a  totally 
different  colored  garb  from  the  remainder  of  the 
camp  the  eye  of  the  "  boss"  is  liable  to  fall  upon 
them  most  frequently  wheu  he  wants  any  special 
work  done,  and  this  fact  appears  to  dlsconra^  all  ^ 
disposition  to  individual  peculiarity  in-  dreui.  Alost 
of  t}ie  oversliirts  Jmve  a  large  turned-down  coUnr. 
and  for  a  jacket  many  of  the  lumbermen  are  now 
showing  a  preference  for  a  garment  called  a  "  chop- 
ping jacket.'  about  the  size  of  a  sailor's  pea-jacket,- 
with  a  large  collar  and  a  strap  and  buckle  around  tbie 
waist. 

The  demand  for  Mackinaw  goods  for  lumbermen's  - 
elothim;  originated  seven  or  (.-ijzht  year*  ago.  Ma<^- 
iuaw  blauicets  were  cut  up  for  the  purpose,  aud  gave 
such  complete  satisfaction  that  the  Idea  arose  of 
manufacturing  full  pieces  of  doth  of  the  same  kind 
especially  for  this  line  of  trade,  and  it  is  now  tht 
material  for  most  of  the  clothing  worn  by  lombeiv 


EDVCATIOX  IX  SOXOnA. 

The  San  Francisco  Alta  savs :  *'  The  addres: 
delivered  to  the  Legislature  of  Sonbra  on  the  opening 
of  its  session  by  Gov.-Mariscarls  congratulatorj- ir 
its  phraseology,  but  the  facts  stated  or  implied  In  ii 
do  not  give  a  high  idea  of  the  political  or  social  con 
ditlon.  A  considerable  space  Is  devoted  to  complaint! 
about  the  alleged  maladministration  of  the  Pes 
queiras,  who.  we  are  told,  exercised  arblfrary  mill 
tary  power,  so  that  the  legislative  and  judldai  do 
partments  were  virtually  suspended.  The-ufficiali 
levied  forced  loans  at  their  pleasunv  and  imprisouec 
the  victims  till  the  money  whs  paid.  There  was  s 
complete  abandonment  of  ■ordt*r.  morality,  and  ja* 
tice'  in  government  affairs,  and  the  condition  of  the 
jteople  was  little  better  tlian  if  theylind  been  given 
up  to  be  sacked  by  an  army.  Mariscal  sa>'s  that  all 
such  abuses  liave  now  been  corre<:ted  but  it  bk  bartly. 
possible  that  he  exaczerates  tlie  avih  of  the  past  ana 
overestimates  the  merits  ol  the  present  AdminiKtra- 
tion.  He  bousts  that  the  State  lias  5.O0O  pupils  ia 
its  schools,  which  are  now  doing  bett<*r  tlian  ev.-r  be- 
fore. There  may  btr  an  inuirovenient.  but  there  la 
room  for  much  more.  Shu  Francisco  hsb  relatively 
four  times  as  many  children  in  her  schools,  and  the 
instruction  is  twice  as  c<'od.  so  that  it  nmy  be  said 
that  this  city  does  oi^ht  times  as  roudi  to  preimre  its 
children  for  a  respectable  place  in  the  struggle  of  life 
as  Sonora  does.  So  long  as  kuowledjie  is  power, 
Mexico  caTini>t  expect  any  crvat  prosperity  until  :ihe 
does  more  for  her  schools.*'  '-

THE  HOUSEHOLD. 


FEA  TUBES  OF  THE  A  UG  USTMAKKETS. 

The  supply  of  choice  qtialities  of  'meat  is  not 
M]ual  to  the  demand,  and  prices  for  such  are  the 
same  as  last  week.  Prices  for  fish  are  nnchanged, 
and  those  for  poultry  are  a  little  lower.  Spring 
chickens  sell  at  IS  cents  to  20  cents  per  ponnd.  The 
Game  laws  now  permit  the  sale  of  woodcock,  and 
they  are  offereil  in  the  market  at  $1  per  pair. 
Butter  and  cheese  sell  at  the  rates  last  re- 
I>orteti,  and  eggs  are  cheaper.  Vegetables  are  in 
hberal  Hupply  and  generally  lower.  Tomatoes  are 
■very  cneai^  ITjere  is  a  good  snpply  of  i  peaches, 
those  arriving  from  North  Carolina  and  Georgia 
being  the  best.  The  Delaware  and  Maryland  peaches 
now  arriving  are  rather  poor.  Blackberiries  and 
whortleberries  are  In  lighter  supply,  and  a  little 
hijjher.  Watermelons  and  cantaloupes  are  plentiful 
and  cheap.  A  few  grapes  are  received  from  the 
South,  but  thoy  are  of  poor  quality.  The  pears 
DOW  arriviTii;  are  generally  pretty  goo<L  Some 
very  nice  BurtWtt's  received  from  Louisiana,  the 
Erst  lot  of  pears  from  that  State  for  many  years,  are

Testino  Vineoar.— In  your  column  of  useful 
family  hints  a  correspondent  states  that  the  adtiltera- 
tion  of  vine^r  with  sulphuric  acid  can  be  detected! 
h^  the  addition  of  chloride  of  bariun^.  Allow  me  lol 
dissent.  Nearly  all  nnegar  contains  sulphates,  I 
notably  the  sulphate  of  potash  esistiiig  in  th'-  juicesi 
of  fruits,  or  in  molasses,  from  which  much  vini-ciir  is: 
manufactured.  These  sulphates  give  a  pri-cipiT.ttel 
with  chloride  of  barium.  A  miinufaiHurer  of  viuegr.r 
once  consulted  me  on  ttie  subject,  and  stated 
that  he  could  not  nuikii  kn  ait  icle  < '  f

even  when  using;  distilled  spirit  for  acetification.  Hei 
was  also  sure  that  he  never  added  sulphuric  acid  ti* 
vinegar.  He  emjiloyed  tlio  quick  pnjtcess  with  heech-i 
wood  ijha\ings,  which  was  another  sonrct-  of  sul-' 
phates,  the  latter  existinc  in  the  ash  ot  the  woimI  und 
dissolving  out  ^vith  the  vincsar.  Free  sulphuric  acid

WHICH  THE  WORKING  GIRLS  SUFFER, 
AND  |WHAT  THt  j  BOWER  IS  DOING  TO 
ALLEJV1A.TE  THEM:J 
The  BoBtoia  papers :  print  abstracts  of  Miss 
Jezmie  Collins*  seventh  ia^tud  report  of  the  work 
done  at  "RafBu's  Bower, ^]  as  she  calls  her  institu- 
tion, whosal  aim  it  is  tfO  relieve  immediate  distress 
and  improve  the  methoitlsiof  living  among  that  large 
class  of  working  girls  "ffllo  find  the  conditions  and 
the  burdens  of  labor  in  ithe  city  almost  too  formida- 
ble to  be  :^cces8fully  ifnet-  She  refers  to  changes 
which  havcj [occurred  iin  tili|lustrial  employments  since 
the  close  <i(f  the  war,  ani^  says:  '"  Before  the  civil 
war  a  girl'sj  wages  rangjed  from  $5  lo  $10  per  week, 
and  $2  was  the  cost  for  1  board.  At  present  her 
wages  range  from  $G  to  S20  and  upward,  but  she  is 
obliged  to  pay  $5  for  board,  and  all  that  she  con- 
sumes Is  iiadirectly  taxedj  to    make  up  the  $5,000,- 

000  this  Stjkte  annuallyi  i>iy.s  to  keen  breath  in  the 
vast  arrnvj  of  non-prtiflucers.  Women  in  coarser 
grades  of  ilfork  are  pai^ji^roin  $3  to  $5  per  week; 
on  an  average,  $L  Okie  .of  them,  when  asked  how 
she  could  live  on  that  jamoimt,  answered,  'Like  a 
mouse  in  the  wall.'  V^oiueu  have  crowded  men  out 
of  their  orjiginal  domain,  not  only  in  the  professions, 
but  in    the  industrial' branches.     In  this  city  alone 

distinct  crafts  :  nire  open  to  women,  (men 
needed  i  ^  '.  !'asslstants,)  while  not 
ten  are  e.^clu.sively 
controlled  11  by  the  stottier  ses.  There  are  00,000 
more  womlen  than  men  iii  the  Commonwealth,  but  in 
ourhoapitijls.  almshouries,  aud  prisons  the  latter  out- 
number trip  former  f^'b  to  one.  Mothers  drag  their 
children  ftom  place  to  place,  begging  piteously  for  a 
chance  tqj  do  the  hardest  drudgerj-  in  order  to  con- 
tinue their|caro  over  their  little  one.»f.  The  doors  are 
closed  against  them.'  I  They  have  opportunities  to 
give  awa^  their  children,  but  no  chance  lo  take 
care  of  thiem  under  another  person's  roof.  What 
have  the  innocent  women  and  children  done  that 
they  sjiould  suffer  as  I  have  witnessed  the  last  year  i 
Nor  Is  it  much  easier, for  single  woiueu.  The  answer 
comes,  '  1  Icannot  worki  for  small  tmv,  because  my 
father  andl  mother  deptind  on  me.  I  have  brothers  : 
but  they  ate  no  help.'  This  community  w«)uld  be  as- 
tonisheil  if  they  knew  t|iB;  vast  multitude  of  men  who 
are  wholly  supported  by   tluj  hard  labor  of  wom«u. 

1  call  to  mind  the  nuinertms  arti  les  written  ihiring 
the  last  yeiir,  inteuditig  to  convey  un  idea  that  work 
is  repulsive  to  persons  obliged  to  procure  it,  and  that 
stem  measures  should  be  enforced  to  make 
them  submit.  No  j  greater  affliction  can  l>e- 
fall  the^  women  |  I|  j  come  in  contact  with 
than  idleness.  Thel  phiversal  stutement  is,  •  1 
don't  care  wliat  I  do;  as  I  cannot  endure  to  be  a 
loafer.'  jindthe  moment  they  see  a  prospect,  never 
.so  po()r.  they  are  I  nmsfonned  \vith  cheerfulness  and 
encourageiuent.  It  is  a|foretiiste  of  heaven  on  .Satur- 
day night  to  the  girl  whii  Inis  been  faitlifuland  itppre- 
ciated  during  the  wee!:.' when  she  knows  that  her 
place  is  waiting  for  her  Monduv  morning'-  Labor  Is 
fascinating  in  itself;  oiJk"  the  disa;jrceable  conditions 
repel,  some  of  "which  are  lumberint;  awkwardness. 
dirt,  waste  of,  vitality,  friction,  snpprt-ssion,  antago- 
nism, and  bad  manners  that  create  a  disliketo  work  in 
the  p'jorer  classes  of  people.  My  idea  is  to  strictly 
avoid  the  slightest  appearance  that  work  is  a  penalty 
or  a  disfipliuo.  From  \ihn  nalure  of  our  productive 
industrj-,  three  monthfil  in  the  Fall  and  Spring  is 
•  iiigh  p'reasure  ;'  then  comes  the  Uoating  from  one 
occupation  to  another.  |  As  our  shop-irirls  are  ve'rsa- 
tile.  It  is  common  for  them  to  accept  whatever  pre- 
sents itsellf.  In  their  keen  pursuit  for  domestic 
service  faithful  did  attaches  Iu  fftmilies 
are  driven  1  corapleteily  out  of  their  homes. 
Young  g:ris  accept  I  low  wa^es,  knowing  they 
have  mauv  reso\ircfs,  that  give  them  inde 
pcndeuce.  <>n  the  coi^rary,  the  re^rular  donii-stics 
hare  nothing  to  fttll  back  on.  not  even  the  washing  or 
Hcrubl^ing  by  the  day.  'Tlie  poor  creatures  are  curi- 
osities of  antiquity,  tuy  more  interoslimr  than  the

GRAIX  TJiAlU-:  OF  JiCFFALfJ.  • 

ufF(ilo  C^tJimerciul  Adftrdsfr  says  that 
hlystateiriert^E  the  flour  and  grain  trade 
of  that  city  show.^  a  g  '(fat  improvement  over  that  of 
last  moilut,  and  that,  iu  fact,  the  grain  movement 
comi)aro8  very  favjpi  ajlily  with  that  of  preceding 
years,  although  tho|  receipts  of  wheat  are  unusually 
light.  Et  continues  :  '"As  a  natural  consequence  of  a 
short  waeat  supply,  fioijir  falls  below  former  years, 
but  corn  fills  up  the  gap,  and  swells  the  monthly 
movemtnt  to  satisfae  ory  proportions.  Tiie  receipts 
of  flour  ^or  the  montl  were  y3.yJU  barrels,  to  118.- 
Iil4  last  jyear;  those  of  j  wheat  were  only  578,780 
bushels  (his jJuly  to.>,540,39t  in  1S75:  while  the 
imports  I  of  com  we"e  5.851.039  bushels,  which  is 
double  t  he  aJnount  riiiorted  for  the  same  period  in 
either  <f  the  two  S:?asons  immediately  preceding. 
The  tbtWl  receipts  Of ,  all  kinds  of*  grain  were 
6,98-l,jlja7  [bushels,  to  I  5/J37.GS9  in  ls70.  Len- 
der itioj^  ciircumstancas'  this  must  be  regarded 
as  a  siiasfactory  month's  work.  The  movement 
by  ran  I  is  much  bjelow  that  of  last  year.  The 
total  reeeipts  of  floiir  bv  the  Lake  bhore  for  the 
month-itero:5.L700iarTelsto90.ti00  in  1S70.  and 
of  all  kiudi  of  grui  if '  643,000  to,  1.027,000  last 
year.  The  rail  receipts  from  Jan.  1  to  July  31  also 
show  a  large  dectijiel  for  the  present  season.  The 
comparative  exhibit  K>f  Uke  and  canal  freights  for 
July  also  indicate3  a  better  condition  of  affairs 
among  carriers.  The  prices  paid  in  Midsummer  List 
year  were  einough  m  bankrupt  all  en:jaged  in  the 
transportation  Imsin^ss-  But  the  railroad  war  had 
been  prosecuted  with  such  vigor,  aud  the  cutting  of 
rates  was  so  general  among  aaients,  that  vessel-own- 
ers had  to  make  vern  low  bids  or  tie  up  their  ships. 
Carriers  h:ive  done'  ajlititle  better  this  season.  Not- 
Withstanding  the  adjreifli  influences,  the  slupments 
of  grain  by  canrd  tliils  season  are  in  excess  of  those 
for"  either  iy7.T  oryl876.  The  esport.s  of  wheat 
reach  only  1.979,751  bushels  tliis  year,  to  7.811.000 
last  year-  Ibut  thel  total  shipments  of  all  kinds 
of  grain  were  13,3|ltJ.330  bushels,  to  li:.37'2,G20 
last  season,  and  l*Jj|>00. 100  in  the  pre\ious  vear. 
The  same  gratifying' Increase  is  to  be  seen  in  all  the 
leading ,  articles  of  bommeree.  The  shipments  of 
lumberjlhis  year  weue  33,700,000  feet,  to,  22. 874,- 
000  last  se.-ison.  a  gliin'  of  nearly  11.000,000  feet. 
In  shins'-es  the  escesfe  this  season  is  equal  to  the  entire 
movement  iu  l»7ti  J  while  the  shipments  in  staves 
were  54,095,845  pounds  iu  1^77  to  30.673,400 
lust  se:ison.  In  ICjOi  not  a  barrel  of  pork  nor  a 
pound  of  lard  wentforward  by  canal.  This  year  the 
shipments  of  the  former  stand  at  21.354*barreis, 
and  of  the  latter  t^t  ;6.464.341  pound*;.  The  in- 
crensed;acti\-ity  by  banal  is  shown  by  th-j  fact  that 
A^trVoi^'^  boats  have  cleared  this*  year  than  last. 
Although  the  rates  <!Jf  tolls  are  only  op  per  cent,  of 
■WtfttJhey  were  in  lp7t>,  and  that  on  boats  has  been 
ab^isaed  entirely,  ithe  coU'.-c:io!is  atj^hls  p.->rt  for

latter  at  IOOI4  for  uew4L2percents.,  107^8  for 
OS  of  1881,  100LjalOO«B  for  ISOTs,  and

drawn from  the  Bank  Of  England  on  balance  to-

S..r'*^  lE'?'"=~'_S''*  Oenand  LItei»tnre.  Ntati 
EdlHon.    VolimiaTL  Bo«toD:  Lmu,B]HKni&Oo. 

The  sixth  volume  of  the  American  edition 
of  the  Eneyelopadia  Briiannica  contains  nearly 
1.00  articles  in  over  800  pages,  making  an 
average  of  more  than  eight  pages  to  an  article. 
The  greater  number  are  still  in  the  letter  C,  and 
the  whole  list  of  thsToIame  closes  with  I^f. 
Kobertaon  Smith's  essay  on  David.  The 
life  and  doctrines  of  Auguste  Comte  are  ex- 
amined by  John  Morley,  and  the  literary 
career  of  Congreve  by  A.  C.  Swinburne.  The 
translator  of  the  Chinese  Classics,  Dr.  Legge, 
hag  the  telling  of  the  life  of  Confucius,  and 
Correggio  meets  with  a  sympathetic  biographer 
In  the  poet  and  painter  of  Italian  descent,  W.  M. 
Bossettii  The  old  poet  Cowley  is  summed  up 
by  one  of  the  youngest  i>oets  of  the  Bossettl 
school,  Edmund  W.  Gosse.  Bev.  A.  H.  Sayce, 
the  pundit  of  Assyrian  texts,  writes  on  Cyrus 
and  Darius.  Oscar  Browning  has  undertaken 
the  poet  Dante,  and  the  revolutionist  Danton  is 
treated  by  John  Morley— the  biographer,  as  just 
mentioned,  of  Comte.  Eleven  colored  plates  are 
added  to  this  volume,  of  which  five  are  intended 
to  illustrate  the  essay  on  Coal,  written  by  H. 
Banerman ;  three  more  are  helps  to  the  text  of 
James  Gibson  on  the  Coleoptera  j  two  are  maps 
of  Cornwall  and  Cumberland  respectively,  while 
the  eleventh  contains  outlines  of  seven  species 
of  ciabs.  Among  the  articles  there  is  one  writ- 
ten by  a  woman,  and  as  the  subject  is  Commun- 
ism, It  may  receive  notice  here  in  jnef  erence  to 
others  abler  or  as  able,  because  it  relates  to  a 
word  very  common  nowadays  in  the  mouths  of 
the  people.  Mrs.  Fawcett  is  the  essayist,  the 
wife  of  Prof.  Henry  Fawcett,  of  the  House  of 
Commons,  a  lady  who  is  no  novice  in  the  science 
of  political  economy  wherein  her  husband  has 
made  his  mark.  She  has  published  aJ'olUical 
JBconomy  for  Seginnera,  and  with  her  husband 
has  been  co-author  of  a  volume  of  Esaaya  and 
Lectwrea. 

Mrs.  Fawcett  distinguishes  two  mea^ngs  in 
the  word,  used  indiscriminately  by  persons 
who  have  not  examined  its  origin.  The  com- 
munism of  Plato,  Sir  Thomas  More,  and  Father 
Bapp  contains  no  place  for  the  popular  idea  of  a 
communist — a  man  who  shirks  labor  in  order  to 
enjoy  part  of  the  earnings  of  others.  Eobert 
Owen  spent  £60,000  on  his  communistic 
theories,  and  resigned  the  prospect  of  an 
enormous  fortime  which  his  extraordinary 
business  talents  could  not  have  failed  to  earn 
had  he  followed  his  abilities  instead  of  his 
theories.  But  the  Paris  communism  has  nothing 
to  do  with  the  kind  of  system  adopted  by  Owen 
and  J.  H.  Noyes,  the  head  of  the  Perfectionists  at 
Oneida.  The  French  wordcownmneisahousehold 
word  in  France  for  "  township"  or  corporation. 
In  nearly  every  town  and  village  there  is  a  cor- 
porate property  called  Lea  Biem  Conunutuiux, 
and  the  property  is  vested  in  the  corporation  or 
commune.  The  revolution  of  the  Conimtme 
overthrown  in  May,  1871,  was  entirely  politi- 
cal ;  it  propounded  no  new  economic  theories ; 
it  demanded  only  a  democratic  republic  and  the 
communal  or  corporate  independence  of  Paris. 
In  discussing  Plato's  Bepullic  and  Sir  Thomas 
More's  Utopia.  Mrs.  Fawcett  calls  attention  to 
the  premise  from  which  they  and  their  fol- 
lowers start,  namely,  that  existing  institutions 
are  so  bad  that  no  reform  can  be  expected  un- 
less everything  is  upset  from  top  to  bottom.  But 
the  results  have  denied  the  truth  of  this  premise ; 
society  does  change,  does  accept  reforms  with- 
out the  disintegration  which  these  spec- 
ulative minds  demand.  One  remarka- 
ble trait  of  theoretical  communists  is 
the  strong  point  they  make  of  education. 
The  first  impulse  to  national  education  in  the 
present  century  probably  sprang  from  the  very 
marked  success  of  Robert  Owen's  schools  lu 
connection  with  the  cotton-mills  of  Xew-Lanark. 
Noticing  the  sweeping  condemnation  of  the 
banking  system  by  Louis  Blanc — who,  in  his 
Organiaation'du  Travail,  calls  for  the  suppres- 
sion of  banks  because  they  will  not  give  credit 
to  the  laborer  without  the  security  which  a 
laborer  can  not  advance — Mrs.  Fawcett  points 
to  the  practical  results  of  the  theories  of 
Schultze-Delitsch  in  Germany,  the  credit  banks 
which  began  to  be  established  in  the  year  1851. 
They  are  associations  of  artisans  formed  for 
the  purpose  of  enablinst  the  members  to  obtain 
by  means  of  credit  the  capital* necessary  to  pro- 
duction. The  workmen  are  jointly  and  sever- 
ally responsible  for  the  repayment  of  loans 
made  to  any  one  of  their  number.  Hence,  a 
candidate  is  admitted  with  great  caution,  his 
previous  character  thoroughly  considered,  and 
his  actual  status  as  a  laborer  fully  assured.  The 
mceees  of  the  co-operative  banks  is  very  great, 
notwithstanding  the  attacks  made  upon  the  sys- 
tem by  prominent  German  communists.  Ijb- 
erallsm  in  politics  is  equally  detested  by  modem 
communists.  And  yet,  although  communists 
are  antagonistic  to  co-operative  schemes,  the 
co-operation  that  has  worked  so  well  in  England 
Is  undoubtedly  due  to  social  reformers  who,  first 
proved  by  many  failures  the  useiessness  of  com- 
munism as  an  engine  of  social  regeneration. 
The  town  of  Oldham  has  80  joint-stock  co-oper- 
ative mills  ;  in  the  Countyof  Lancashire  there- 
are  150.  The  bulk  of  the  shareholders  are 
lartisans  who  labor  in  the  mills,  and  who  there- 
fore have  a  direct  and  immediate  interest  in 
iihe  results  of  their  industry.  The  principle  of 
nlf-tnterest  involved  in  co-operation,  which 
communism  attacks,  lias  had  the  effect  of  pro- 
ducing not  mere  activity  on  the  part  of  the 
laborer,  but  thoroughly  sound  and  honest  work. 

Mn.  Fawcett  reviews  at  length  the  tendency 
of  trades-unions  to  lower  the  aggregate  pro- 
dticing  power  of  labor  and  enslave  the 
laborer  by  exacting  a  uniform  amount  of 
work  from  each  member.  The  Manches- 
ter .  Bricklayers'  Association  has  a  rule  that 
any  man  found  running  or  working  beyond  a 
regular  speed  shall  be  fined  with  increasing  se- 
verity for  each  offense.  It  was  urged  by  the 
tradea-unionists  of  Lancashire  and  Torkahire 
that  women  should  not  be  allowed  to  work,  be- 
cause their  vanity  was  such  that  a  word  of  praise 
from  the  overseer  would  cause  them  to  redouble 
their  exertions.  To  such  length  do  trades-unions 
carry  the  obliteration  of  individual  competition. 
Communal  societies  like  the  Shakers  and 
Perfectionists  manage  to  socure  a  good  share  of 
work  from  their  members.  The  societies  are  small, 
and  the  members  see  in  what  their  labor  results. 
Various  methods  are  used  by  them  to  keep  pop- 
olation  low ;  their  ntmiber  has  steadily  decreased, 
and  yet  the  value  of  their  present .  aggregate 
property  is  not  very  large.  The  check  on  pop- 
ulation observable  in  such  forms  of  communism 
doei  not  allow  the  same  conclusions  to  be  drawn 
for  the  world  at  large,  were  the  system  to  be- 
come general.  Modem  communists  In  Burope 
vigorously  denounce  the  theory  and  practice  of 
Ualthusianism,  which,  in  one  form  or  another, 
the  American  communists  maintair.  When 
the  teaUy  great  results  of  co-operation  In  Eng- 
land, tJ^^TrVg  Mrs.  Fawcett,  are  compared  with 
nearly  a  century  of  communism  in  America,  the 
concltislon  is  inevitable  that  co-operation  is 
much  mora  effectual  than  communism  in  pro- 
ducing a  radical  improvement  in  the  condition 
and  status  of  labor. 


TIHETA,  THE  PHANTOM  CITF.    rrom  the  GermaD  of 
iLWiasza.   By  Fbiscu  A.  Sa^w.     Boaton:    £aiK8 

ttlMMlAX.     1877. 

The  rising  of  the  oppressed  Poles,  ^in  the 

Prosalan  parts  of  that  unhappy  country,,  forms 
'the  background  against  which  the  greater,  part 
of  this  story  moves.  Waldemar  and  Leo  are 
haU-brothen,  and  sons  of  a  Polish  lady ;  Wdde- 
mar  has  been  brought  np  a  German,  after  the 
daath  of  Us  Qannan  father,  while  Leo,  the  loa 
Ittttlgilflm"*''*-""*"  ''"  swthar. 


to  be  •  fniriot.  They  '  are  In  .  exile,  and  poor, 
while  Waldemar  is  the  heir  to  a  GemiaD  estate 
and  thoroughly  esiran^d  from  bis  mother. 
His  guardian  brings  him  up  in  a  helpless  way 
and  lets  him  do  as  he  pleases ;  the  result  is  a 
cub  who  knows  how  to  hunt  like  a  savage,  but 
can  not  enter  a  drawing-room.  The  half-broth- 
er, Leo,  is  just  the  reverse.  Here  he  is  de- 
scribed : 

"Waldemar  Nordeckwas  molded  after  the  Ger- 
zuanic  type,  and  bore  no  trace  of  his  Polisli  ori^n. 
The  tall,  almost  giant,  figure  towered  even  abov^ 
Witold'a  stately  form,  but  it  lacked  symmetry ;  Its 
outlines  were  sharp  and  angular.  Tlie  heavy  mass 
of  blonde  hair  seemed  a  burden  to  his  head,  for  it  fell 
low  over  the  forehead,  and  was  every  now  and  then 
tlirown  hack  with  an  impatient  movenxent ;  the  blue 
eyes  had  a  sullen  expression,  and  in  moments  of  ex- 
asperation, like  this,  an  almost  maUgnant  glare  :  the 
face  was  decidedly  plain,  having  neither  the  delicate 
lineaments  of  the  boy  nor  the  decided  features  of  the 
man." 

Leo  and  Waldemar  have  a  cousin  called 
Wanda,  to  whom  'Leo  Is  to  be  betrothed,  ac- 
cording to  family  arrangement.  The  mother, 
who  is  a  strong- willed,  intriguing  patriot,  brings 
Waldemar  together  with  Leo  and  Wanda,  and 
finding  that  no  one  has  any  influence  over  him 
but  her  niece,  uses  her  to  bring  Waldemar  to 
terms.  Rebellion  against  Prussia  Is  to  be 
fomented  with  an  estate  belonging  to  Waldemar 
as  the  focus.  Leo  is  jealous  of  Waldemar,  and 
not  without  cause,  for  Wanda  begins  by  ridi- 
culing and  ends  by  loving  her  uncouth  cousin. 
It  is  George  Sand's  Mauprat  over  again,  only 
the  lover  to  whom  she  prefers  Waldemar  is 
much  more  charming  than  the  one  sacrificed  by 
the  cousin  of  Mauprat.  Waldemar  Is  a  stanch 
German,  and  finds  himseU  governing  a  large 
Polish  estate,  where  all  the  tenants  hate  him, 
and  his  own  mother,  half-brother  and  the  giri 
he  loves  are  aiding  and  abetting  the  insurrec- 
tion against  German  occupation.  The  crash 
comes  in  1863,  and  the  Poles  are  defeated.  Leo 
is  killed ;  Waldemar  frees  Wanda's  father  from 
prison  on  the  promise  of  her  hand,  and  tho 
book  ends,  in  the  comfortable  old  fashion,  with 
marriage  bells.  Vine/a  is  a  good  novel  of  no 
great  intensity,  and  the  translation  has  been 
w^ell  done.  ,

This  voliuue  will  possess  an  interest  for 
every  student  of  classical  literature  through  its 
being  the  posthumous  work  of  one  of  the  great- 
est scholars  America  has  ever  produced.  Thfe 
name  of  Dr.  Charles  Anthon  is  familiar  in 
every  land  and  in  every  school  and  college 
where  the  authors  of  ancient  (ireece  and  Rome 
are  read  and  studied.  Not  on^y  was  he  one  of 
the  most  eminent  classical  scholars  of  his  age 
and  country,  but  he  was  also  ;the  first  nativb 
American  who  ftimishcd  teSt-books  in  the 
classics  for  the  schools  of  the  Old  World.  The 
general  adoption  of  his  works  in  the  lead- 
ing seminaries  of  Europe '  has  made  his 
name  a  household  word  to  th^  students  of  the 
nineteenth  century.  Those  who  never  saw  him 
in  the  lecture-room,  and  knew  nothing  of  the 
influence  of  his  presence,  may  be  ranked  among 
his  most  ardent  friends  and  admirers,  so  much 
has  he  done  toward  smoothing  "the  rugged  road 
that  leads  to  classical  learning. 

The  distinguishing  characteristic  of  Dr.  An- 
thon's  editions  of  the  ancient  writers  is  the 
minute  and  copious  annotations  appended  to  each 
work.  Curious  to  relate,  this  sy.stem  at  first  enj- 
countered  severe  opposition,  it  being,  apparent- 
ly, the  opinion  of  many  learned  pedagogues 
that  too  much  assistance  shotold  not  bo  oifered 
the  young  minds  that  were  trj-ing  to  climb '  the 
steeps  of  knowledt;e.  Tlie  irrationality  of  such 
prejudice  soon  made  itself  apparent,  however, 
and  the  labors  of  Dr.  Anthon  were  so  generally 
approved  by  the  majority  of  scholars  that  many 
of  those  who  were  at  first  loudest  in  their  denun- 
ciations were  compelled  by  the  positive  advan- 
tages and  rich  results  of  his  plan  to  adopt,  as 
far  as  possible,  a  similar  fullness  of  annotation 
in  their  own  publications. 

It  was  in  1833,  15  years  after  he  was  elected 
to  a  Professor's  chair  in  Columbia  College,  that 
Dr.  Anthon  first  projected  a  classical  series 
which  should  comprise  the  text-books  used  in 
academies  and  schools  preparatory  to  college, 
as  well  as  ^hose  read  in  our  different  colleges 
and  universities.  To  the  execution  of  this  plan 
the  great  part  of  leisure  hours  were  devoted ; 
and,  although  after  his  two  or  three  hours  daily 
■with  his  coUege  classes — he  devoted  three 
hours  a  day  to  the  grammar  school  connected 
with  Columbia— he  yet  found  time  to  publish 
more  than  a  volume  a  year  during  the  suc- 
ceeding 30  years.  For  three  or  four  years 
before  bis  death,  however,  his  failing  strength 
warned  him  that  he  must  abandon  a  portion  at 
least  of  his  liabittial  labors.  At  first  he  re- 
linquished his  position  in  the  grammar  school, 
but  this  relief  proved  insufficient,  and  finally  it 
became  necessary  for  lum  to  discontinue  his 
editorial  work.  Thus,  when  his  death  occiirred 
there  remained  several  incomplete  works  upon 
which  he  had  been  engaged.  One  of  the  most 
important  of  these  was  an  edition  of  the  four 
books  of  Titus  Livius  embodied  in  the  volume 
now  before  us.  The  commentary  on  the  first 
and  second  books  and  on  the  first  23  chapters 
of  the  twenty-first  book  was  complete,  but  here 
the  great  scholar  had  been  compelled  to  lay 
down  his  pen,  prooably  with  the  deep  regret 
that  always  attends  the  relinquishment  of  a  noble 
Mid  important  work.  Another  hand,  however, 
has  tmdertaken  to  finish  the  task  so  well  begun, 
and  to  Prof.  Hugh  Craig,  of  Trinity  College, 
Cambridge,  we  are  indebted  for  the  addition  of 
another  volume  to  the  library  of  classic  authors 
projected  by  Dr.  Anthon. 

Titus  Livius,  the  greatest  of  Roman  his- 
torians, was  born  in  the  Consulship  of  C.  Julius 
C'sesar  and  M.  Calpumius,  at  Patavium,  the 
modem  Padua,  where  he  passed  the  earlier  years 
of  his  life,  receiving  a  varied  and  liberal  educa- 
tion. It  is  also  probable  that  he  remained 
there  occupied  by  his  literary  studies  during 
the  civil  commotiona  that  ensued  upon  the  as- 
sassination of  Julius  Caesar.  It  was  only  natural, 
however,  that  he  should  take  up  his  residence 
at  Rome  as  soon  as  quiet  was  restored  to  that 
city,  and  we  hear  of  him  there  engaged  upon 
the  composition  of  dialogues  discussing  politi- 
cal and  philosophical  questions.  These  were 
addressed  to  the  Emperor  Augustus,  and  se- 
cured his  favor  and  friendship  toward  the  au- 
thor. The  great  work  oif  Livy's  life,  however, 
was  the  preparation  of  his  immortal  history, 
and  at  Rome  he  had  access  to  all  the  archives 
and  records  of  the  State.  Augustus  is  also  said 
to  have  invited  him  to  occupy  apartments  in  the 
imperial  palace,  and  even  to  have  given  him 
such  explanations  of  the  public  documents  as 
would  facilitate  his  labors.  There  is  abundant 
proof  that  Livy  was  favoreB^  with  the  intimate 
friendship  of  the  Emperor,  but  in  no  instance 
does  he  appear  to  have  coveted  pecuniary  ad- 
vantage or  official  position.  His  whole  interest 
was  centred  in  advancing  and  perfecting  his 
great  literary  work.  The  only  departure  from 
this  rule  is  suggested  by  a  remark  of  Suetonius, 
a  later  historian,  who  says  that  for  a  while  Livy 
was  Intrusted  with  the  education  of  Claudius, 
who  afterward  succeeded  to  the  Empire. 

Livy  commenced  the  history  about  the  year 
727  A.  U.  C,  or  B.  C.  27,  when  he  was  himself 
about  30  years  of  age.  This  date  is  ascertained 
from  his  mention  in  the  first  book  of  the  fact 
that  the  Temple  of  James  had  been  clqsed  a 
second  time.  The  third  closing  occurred  but 
five  years  later.  The  closing  of  the  gates  of  this 
temple  indicated,  as  is  generally  knownj  that 
the  Roman  Empire  was  at  peace  with  the  wiorld ; 
but  so  frequent  were  the  wars  that  the  gates 
were  almost  constantly  open.  The  entirejWork" 
comprised  142  books ;  but  all  are  lost  except  35 
and  a  few  fragments  of  the  others.  Of  these 
,th«  fonr  sslaoted  by  Dr.  Aathoa  an  of  special

Interest  Books  I.  and  n.  give  tie  early  mythi- 
cal traditions  regarding  the  establishment  of  the 
^pire,  including  the  arrival  of  .£neas  from 

.ptured  Troy,  his  conimest  of  the  original  Ital- 
the  quarrel  of  Romulus,  the  seizure  of 
Sabine    women,     and     the    wars    and 

Bances  that  followed.  The  XXIst  and 
Id  books  are  a  record  of  the  famous  struggle 
between  the  Romans  and  the  Carthaginians 
under  the  leadership  of  Hannibal.  Livy's  great 
reputation  began  during  his  life,  his  own  coun- 
trymen according  to  him  the  same  rank  among 
their  historians  that  Virgil  occupied  among  their 
poets  and  Cicero  among  their  orators.  He  died 
at  the  age  of  7C,  having  been  occupied  all  of  40 
years  in  the  preparation  of  the  history. 

Our  thanks  are  due  to  Prof.  Craig  for  com- 
i)letlng  and  bringing  forward  tills  volume,  in 
^hich  we  recognize  tho  last  of  Dr.  Anthon's 
labors,  and  the  ripest  fruit  of  his  eminent 
scholarship.  As  throughout  the  series,  the  an- 
notations are  ample,  judicious,  and  suggestive, 
famishing  all  the  Information  and  assistance 
that  the  student  can  desire.  They  will  also  be 
attractive  to  the  advanced  scholar,  who  finds,  in 
comparing  his  own  with  the  critical  observa- 
tions of  others,  a  pleasure  second  only  to  that 
of  perusing  the  great  authors  themselves.  For 
It  cannot  be  questioned  that  great  as  is  the 
ictual  merit  of  the  latter,  the  interest  felt  in 
them  to-day  is  enhanced  by  the  fact  that  they 
have  been  studied  and  admired  through  all 
ages,  and  are  thus  more  closely  linked  with  the 
Jiving  present.  We  may  hope  that  Prof.  Craig 
and  his  fellow-laborers  in  the  field  of  classical 
^tudy  will,  in  a  similar  manner,  introduce  us  to 
itill  others  of  the  great  minds  of  antiquity, 
iutil  we  possess  a  full  series  of  works  by  ancient 
authors,  each  of  which  shall  be  as  attractive  and 
Valuable  as  the  one  before  us.

There  is  always  somethiug  to  be  found  in 
records  of  human  life,  even  when  they  are  stif- 
fened in  the  artificial  setting  of  rhJ^ue  and 
rhythm.  But  a  still  greater  interest  can  be  ex- 
tracted from  versified  experiences  of  family  and 
tommunity  life,  when  the  WTittr  happens  to  be 
of  a  naive  and  ingenuous  turn  of  mind.  In  such 
ingenuousness  lies  the  chief  value  of  this  thick 
book  of  verses,  written  by  L.  B.  F. ,  in  some  vil- 
lage of  Northern  Xew-York.  The  writer  is  a 
woman,  and  what  she  has  to  say  is  put  down 
with  a  distinctness  and  heartiness  that  could 
only  have  been  retained  during  a  life  in  a  small 
communitj'.  There  are  signs  in  many  of  the 
poems  that  tho  authoress  was  in  early  life  a 
marked  character  in  her  neigliborbood,  some- 
thing of  a  prodigy  evtjn  at  school.  How  many 
years  ago  that  school  time  was  it  would  be  dan- 
gerous to  reckon.  Tho  second  piece  in  the  book 
is  a  rhj-mett  account  of  the  buniirig  of  .St. 
Eustache,  Canada.  It  is  labeled  "noHctiou." 
and  was  written  and  spokt'n  at  a  school  e.xlii- 
bition  "inmyearlyschoohlays — 1S37."  Thela-st 
poems  are  dated  1877.  and  that  called  "  Furl 
the  Flag  "  is  a  lament  written  in  February  of 
this  year  over  the  death  of  liberty,  presumably 
the  result  of  the  defeat  i>£  'I'iUleu  in  the  Presi- 
dential campaign.  L.  B.  F.  has  always  been  a 
vigorous  patriot ;  she  has  words  of  .scorn  for 
tho  British  hirelings  at  the  burning  of  St. 
Eustache,  and  various  Presidential  campait;ns 
seem  to  have  stirred  her  to  verse  long  before 
the  days  of  Hayes.  Oii  page  73  we  liave  *'-Y 
Song  for  tho  Democracy — Before  Eleeiiou, 
184 1,"  where  the  venerable  names  of  Polk, 
Dallas,  and  Wright  appear.  Here  is  a  whiiT  of 
that  old  excitement  that  used  to  prevail  at  elec- 
tions previous  to  the  war :  , 

"  Hurra,  then,  for  Polk,  he's  tlio  man  of  the  nation, 
For  t>rtT;on.  too.  and  Tex-Ts"  tloct  nnnexation. 
For  It.lUas.  hurra  I  h'.*<i  .'i  twi;;  i>f  tie*  tree 
Of  that  .stauoch-hearted  emblem,  tbe    'Old  Blek- 
ory.'  " 

The  Mexican  war  furnishes  ,inoth*^r  theme  on 
the  old  text  of  the  soug  '-It  was  a  glorious  vii'- 
tory."  t*ri5ouers  conlbied  on  chartres  of  mur- 
der arouse  in  her  that  tendeniess  which  seems 
inliereiit  in  the  American  heart.  x>erha]»s  .be- 
cause .\naericans  are  so  lacking  in  aulijeets  over 
whleli  to  gush.  On  page  lIL-j  wo  find  "Lines 
svjrrestedby  a  visit  in  jail  to  the  unforttinate 
prisf.iier  Biekford,  coniiueil  on  a  cliariru  of  the 
muni  r  i)f  Secor."  And  immediately  follo\\in^ 
arc  !i:.i's  embodying  a  wish  reported  to  have 
been  ii..tde  by  the  mother  of  the  prisoner,  Bick- 
fonl,  after  his  conviction,  and  a  few  ilays  be- 
fore the  execution  of  his  sentence  of  death. 
Beggars  furnish  the  inspiratiou  for  several 
poems,  and  the  verses  that  have  to  do  witli  tlio 
tender  passion  (in  others)  are  numberle.s.s.  Per- 
sonal love  poems  are  either  vague  or  wantinir. 
The  names  mentioned  are  aj-pareutly  those  of 
real  persons,  not  at  all  fictitious,  and  they  are 
usually  of  Iri.sh,  Scotch,  or  French  derivation. 
There  are  many  stanzas  to  Ireland,  and  althou-rh 
the  authoress  seems  to  be  a  Protestant,  it  looks 
ao  if  she  wero  of  Irish  descent.  This  Wi;uld 
readily  account  for  her  natural  dexterity  at 
rhyming.  With  the  outbreak  of  the  late  war, 
the  authoress  assumes  on  impassioned  stand 
against  the  "  Abolition  Cain,"  and  the  efforts  to 
preserve  tho  Union.  One  poem  is  an  invective 
against  England,  cau-sed  by  a  report  that  Eng- 
land was  about  to  ji>in  ^vith  tho  Northern  States 
to  abolish  slavery  in  the  South !  But  on  paL'e 
299  her  indignation  against  the  arrest  of  Val- 
landigham  and  others  makes  her  cast  aside  the 
veil  of  Incognito  which  was  assumed-  on  the 
titie  page  with  the  initials  L.  B.  F.  It  appears 
that  the  husband  of  the  writer  was  Mr.  Flan- 
ders, who  had  been  sent  to  Fort  Lafayette  before 
the  arrest  of  Vallandigliam.  Concerning  the 
latter  she  writes  in  1.803  :       * 

"Theycmne,  like  cowards  as  they  were,  at  lli,;ht, 
And  stole  tlie  father  from  his  precious  fold^ 

The  people's  ehamyion  of  Truth  and  Riijht — 
Vallaudigham.  the  honest  and  tho  bold." 
In  this  year  she  seems  to  have  struck  the 
highest  note  ;    her  detestation  of  war  and  vio- 
lent sympathy  for  the  South  gave  her  occasion- 
ally a  good  touch  of  lyric  strength.     Here  is 
one  on   **  Pestilence,"  which  has  less  wordiness 
than  falls  to  the  lot  of  most  of  the  poems  written 
by  women : 
"  Come  on,  ye  men,  with  pick  and  spade. 

Thousands  of  graves  'tis  tim«t  were  made, 

For  thousands  "nealh  a  Southern  sky 

Of  brothers  slain  in  battle  he. 

Haste  ye,  dig  quick,  no  tiine  to  spare — 

Decavint;  bodies  scent  the  air— 

Lest  Pestilence  shall  soon  walk  forth, 

And  other  thousands  fell  to  earth. 

Throw  in  a  corp.se  1  more  haste — another — 

Heap  high  the  dirt  on  friend  and  brother. 

Here  !  there !  with  bodies  fiil  tbo  trench." 
And  there  is  still  another  on  tho  return  of  her 
son  from  the  war,  broken  down  and  wrecked  in 
health,  which  has  dramatic  pathos.  We  have 
also  lines  suggested  by  reading  tho  petition  of 
the  ladies  of  the  Shenandoah  Valley,  asking 
pardon  for  Jefferson  Davis.  It  begins  with  the 
following  stanza : 
"  Pardon  for  him  1    'Wliat  sinning  hath  ho  done  ! 

He  of  the  lofty  brow  and  soulful  eye  i 
This  wise,  this  noble,  miuch-loved  Southron  son  ? 

Pardon  for  him  you  ask  ?  In  sooth,  for  why  i" 
The  Hibemicism  in  the  last  line  is  by  no 
means  solitary.  l^Irs.  Flanders  has  the  usual 
woman  writer's  weakness  in  grammar,  with 
something  more  than  her  usual  strength  in  other 
particulars.  She  never  relents  ;  her  feminine 
wisdom  is  impervious  to  the  arguments  of  the 
years.  Nor  does  her  muse  improve  as  she  grows 
older,  but  always  remains  at  about  the  same 
pitch.  There  are  many  verses  referring  to  tne 
demesne  concerns  of  her  friends  and  fellow- 
townsmen,  and  not  a  few  to  members  of  ber  own 
family.  She  mourns  the  death  of  two  dearly 
beloved  brothers,  and  gives  the  wail  of  a  ho.irt- 
broken  mother  for  the  loss  of  children  of  her 
own.  Poems  of  a  religious  spirit  occupy  a  large 
space.  Of  course,  it  was  a  great  mistake  to 
publish  so  much  verse  at  once  ;  the  very  best 
should  have  been  winnowed  out,  and  submitted 
to  some  one  who  could  correct  errors  in  gram- 
mar and  rhythm.  But,  with  so  positive  a  tcin-

capote  is  of  l.ja.di  Tulle,  with  a  high  crown,  and 
the  brim  turning  down  iu  tho  middle  in  front. 
It  is  trimmeil  with  a  bordering  of  clair  de  lune

At.  ivory-white  barege  lately  made  for  a  fash- 
ionable Parisian  lady  was  especially  noticeable 
on  account  of  its  simplicity.  It  is  cut  in  prin- 
c(-ss  -sliape  au<l  not  as  ilat  as  the  ordinary 
piincess  dress.  The  back  sits  tight  to  the 
waist,  and  thence  dowu  it  falls  in  loose  wavy 
ft)lds.  fastened  by  imperceptil.Ae  fastenings. 
The  front  falls  in  folds,  which  are  but  little 
raise<I.  and  taken  under  tho  side  seams. .  This 
dress  has  no  trimnuug  of  any  kind.  It  has  a 
peculiar  rounded  sleeve,  under  which  the 
wearer  ueed  uot  even  have  a  cuff  or  lace  ruf- 
fling.     - 

A  beautiful  evening  dre.ss  for  country  wear 
may  be  made  of  yellow  lawn  with  pink  stripes. 
The  trimmings  and  eoi"6elet  are  of  pink  faille. 
The  train  skirt  is  trimmad  with  a  bias  flounce  of 
the  striped  lawu,'  surmounted-  by  a  jiink  faille 
plaited  iloimce  ahil  a  lawn  pnfling  with  plaited 
iaille  heading,  yhe  timique  forms  an  apron  in 
front,  rai-sed  on  (^ne  sid,e  ko,as  to  be  rathe'r  short, 
under  pink  ribbon  loops.  The  other  side  hangs 
straight,  and  is  divided  inj  the  midtUe  of  the 
back  where  ii  is  sewetl'  to  |tlie  skirt,  forming 
pufiings  all  the  ^^ay  down.  ,  This  tunique  is  bor- 
dered with  a  deep  white  guipure  latre  ruflle. 
The  other  piece  iu  the  back  forms  a  flat  shell- 
shaped  trimming.  The  pwo  parts  are  joined  in 
the  centre  under  riboon^  bows  with  long  ends. 
The  upper  bow  ia  placed  agiiinst  the  eorselet. 
The  lawn  waist  is  plaited  in  five  or  sLx  plaits, 
placed  on  in  a  jijias  and  joining  in  the  middle, 
back,  aud  front,  thus  foijnung  a  point.  The  pink  | 
ttLffetas  corselet  laces  in  tlie  back.  It  is  altogether 
separate  from  the  waist:  1  The  lawn  sleeves  are 
slightly  gathered  on  tlie  seams,  this  making 
tbem  rather  full.  Thev  are  finished  at  the  el- 
bow with  two  pink  nxf^^s  and  a  pink  taffetas 
plaiting  between.  Ou  the  elbow  are  pink  loops 
with  one  end.  The' collarette  consists  of  a  dou- 
ble guipure  ruffling  :  onk  of  these  ruffles  turns 
upward  and  th^  other,  downward.  A  narrow 
Dinkribbou«  with  lonsiejadii,  eludes  the  collar- 


ette in  the  boclL  The  hair  Is  dressed  high,  and 
adorned  in  the  back  with  roses. 

A  vei-y  simple  fichu  Is  made  of  white  lawn, 
trimmed  with  fine  plaitinga  scalloped  on  the  in- 
side. The  neck  trfinming  consists  of  a  closely 
plaited  ruffle.  Below  this  ruffling  is  a  line  of 
scalloping.  Down  the  front  is  a  shell-shaped 
Valenciennes  lace  frill,  with  a  pink  bow  on  tho 
end. 

A  fichu  suitable  for  an  elderly  lady  may  be  of 
lace,  forming  a  deep  turned-down  collar.  On 
the  inside  of  the  neck  is  a  double  crepe  lisse 
plaiting.  This  plaiting  is  fastened  down  under 
folds  of  the  same.  The  frill  down  the  front  is 
of  lace  adorned  with  blue  satin  loops. 

A  useful  mantle  for  the  seaside  is  cut  like  a 
double  i>61enne  with  four  points.  The  first 
pelerine  is  carelessly  tied  in  front  of  the  bust. 
The  points  of  the  second  pelerine,  after  having 
crossed  each  other,  are  tied  over  the  train.  It 
is  trimmed  with  fringe.  This  mantle  may  be  of 
knitted  worsted,  flsumel,  cachemire,  crfipe  de 
chine,  or  lace.  Shoes  and  gaiters  are  rather 
conspicuous  at  present,  as  they  are  made  with 
the  instep  very  high  on  account  of  the  heel 
being  in  the  middle  of  the  sole  ;  the  pointed 
ends  turn  up. 


A  COSSPIEATOIi'S  GRAVE. 


A  REMINISCENCE  OF  THE  WAR  OP  THE  RE- 
BELLION— ^WHERE  DR.  BOTYLES,  OP  IN- 
DIANA, IS  BURIED — HIS  NUMEROUS  MAR- 
RIAGES AND  DIVORCES. 

A  letter  from  French  Lick,  Orange  County, 
Ind.,  to  the  Cincinnati  Commercial,  contains  the  fol- 
lowing : 

"  A  short  distance  from  the  Lick,  on  the  Baden 
Road,  is  the  former  residence  of  Dr.  Bowles.  Dr. 
Bowles,  be  it  remembered,  was  at  the  head  of  the 
Indiana  conspiracy  to  establish  a  South-western 
Confederacy  during  the  late  war.  and  was  tried  for 
treason  by  a  mlHtary  commission  at  Indianapohs, 
and  sentenced  to  be  hanged  along  with  MilUgan 
and  Horsey.  President  Johnson,  through  the  in- 
tercession of  Gov.  Morton,  comrauted  their  sen- 
tence to  imprisonment  for  life,  aud,  after  some  ex- 
Eerienco  within  the  gloomy  walls  of  the  Colniu- 
us  Penitentiary,  the  war  being  over,  they  were 
released  by  application  to  the  civil  courts,  and 
doffed  the  conir'iet  garb  to  assume  that  of  mart\T. 
The  treason  trial  was  one  of  the  causes  cel^bres  of  the 
Vnited  States.  Bowles  and  iWWgan  are  dead.  Hor-, 
sey,  a  man  of  -very  iuferi^  intellect,  is  champing 
acorns  in  tho  obscure  recesses  of  Martin  County. 
The  Bowles  residence  is  a  large  two-story  building, 
with  a  gable  front  to  the  road,  and  wings  ou  either 
side — veranda  ou  both  stories  of  the  gable  centre.  It 
stands  on  a  hill-side  on  a  hiijh  foundation  of  loose,  un- 
cumented  stones. .  The  front  yard  is  overgrowm  with 
rank,  red  clover.  The  honso  is  unpainted.  Like 
ev6r>-thuig  else  that  Bowles  nnderlook.  it  was 
left  uufiniahed.  The  only  job  he  ever  com- 
pletely tinished  was  that  "of  dying.  The  hon^^e 
Ls  siirroxmdt;d  by  various  quaint-iookint:  outbuild- 
ings, the  uses  of  winch  are  a  jrazzle  to  the 
pas.'^ers-by.  EvRrj'thing  about  the  premises  is  dismal 
and  sombre.  The  window-curtains,  of  suicidal  blue, 
are  always  closely  drawn,  nnd  save  llie  mother  hf  lis, 
clucking  to  thrifty  broods,  there  are  few  signs  of  life 
idjout  tho  premises.  Here  the  widow — the  tliird  wifi'. 
divorce  having  sej.arated  the  first  two — lives  in  rigiil 
seclusion.  She  uever  calls  on  the  neighbors,  never 
goe.^  to  cmireh  or  to  the  little  store  at  Baden,  never 
iroes  nnj-where,  in  fact,  excejft  to  Paoli  to  consult  her 
l.-iwyers  in  regard  to' tho  litigation  which  is  .slowly 
but  surely  eatuig  up  the  vast  estate  of  the  dead  con- 
spirator. 8ho  lives  alone,  with  the  exception  of  her 
sister  and  the  hired  help. 

'  'Walking  up  tn  the  house,  ascending  the  liigh  steps, 
and  ringing  the  bell,  it  was  shortly  jmswered  by  a 
tall  lady,  aiiparently  about  5.5  years  old,  who  ndniit- 
tfd  that  she  was  Mrs.  Bowles.  She  was  frigidly  i)o- 
lite.  'W'ewishto  see  the  tomb."  'Do  yon  wish  to 
see  the  inside /'  'No,  only  the  outside.'  *'You  have 
iny  i»ermission.'  Tlie  tomb  stands  on  the  hill-side,  to 
the  right  of  the  house,  and  is  inclosed  by  a  rough 
board  "fence,  whitewashwL  It  is  biult  ofhewnlinie- 
stone,  and  is  witliout  pretense  of  ornament,  save  a 
shifldonthe  front,  bearing  the  siuqde  inscription, 
•Howies.' witli  10  stars  on  it  and  around  it.  It  Jias 
an  irou  door  and  little  grated  windows  around  tho 
top.  It  is  overgrown  with  brambles,  and  while  we 
were  standinir  at  the  front  looking  at- the  inscription 
a  rabbit  jumped  through  a  crack  of  the  fence,  and 
scurried  through  the  brambles,  his  white  tailgleani- 
ing  amid  the  green  as  he  went.  The  tomb,  which  is 
lar-je  enough  for  . an  elephant,  must  have  been  quire 
costly,  even  iu  a  country  which  abounds  in  stone. 
Thi- icreat  conspira**ir  w,is  at  considerable  paiu-s  and 
expense  to  proride  a  suitable  place  in  which  to  mt. 

"  Dr.  Bowles'  life  was  a  checkered  one,  aside  from 
his  more  recent  experiences.  As  C<donel  of  the  Sec- 
ond Indiana  at  Buena  Vista,  he  was  disgraceil  by 
JeiT  Davis  and  Zachar^'  Taylor  in  tlieir  reports  of 
that  battle,  and  made  the  ^<'apegoat  for  the  sins  of 
nit-n  who  ran  away  to  fight  another  day.  and  were 
ashamed  of  it.  I  shall  alwavs  believe  that  Col. 
Bowles  was  hardly  dealt  with.  5ln  was  a  bungler, 
but  not  vs.'"eplional!y  con-ardly.  Evtry  man  who  is 
not  a  fool,  kicking  the  tdiadini:  stimulus  of  personal 
rage,  is  a  coward  in  battle,  and  the  man  who  "says  lie 
isn"t'  is  A  liar  as  well  as  a  coward.  Pi  ide  alone  keep.s 
them  from  turning  tail.  Kach  man  would  like  to  run. 
but  h^tt'S  to  bo  solitary  m  the  movement.  But  wht-n 
a  resjiertable  nun. ber.  startled  into  temporary 
furgft fulness  of  their  fears  of  bein;r  brandt.*d  :« 
co\v;irds.  start  to  run.  the  rest  sladly  embrace  the 
opportunity,  and  all  run,  and  this  makes  a  panic. 
It  was  tliis  that  struck  Col.  Bowles' men  at  Buena 
Vista,  and  ho  lacked  the  persenrd  magnetism  to 
rally  them.  They  demanded  a  \ictim,  aud  lie  was

bitterly,  nnrelcntiuelv,  and  profanely  vindictive  in  his 
feelings  toward  Jfff  Davis,  and  yet' such  wa**  Ids  iu- 
veterate  hatred  of  Kepubltcanism.  tiiat  be  went  soul

similar  affida^^t  in  regai^to  said  Noah  Reece  and  tho

women  pecidjar  and  Quakerirfi,  bnt  all  this  ha«  beeii 
changed,  as  Howe  has  received  '  revelations,  from 
God.'  Formerly  they  brought  produce  to  market, 
■which  commanded  good  prices,  tt  always  being  of  the 
best  quality,  but  the  farm  is  now  neglected  and  no 
produce  sold,  'as  the  Lord  is  to  supply  all 
their  needs.'  Intimations  of  scandal  and  cruelty 
have  also  come  from  time  to  time.  They 
have  a  crazy  ^  girl  there,  who  is  said  to  have  been 
beaten  and  locked"up.  *A  child  of  the  Hoi v  Ghost' 
■was  bom  a  few  years  ago,  the  paternity  of  wJiich  was 
attributed  to  Howland.  The  daughters  of  Mr.  FuDerr 
reliable  in  every  respect,  residents  in  AthoL  who  ran 
away  from  the  community,  declare  that  cruelty  and  a 
low  state  of  morality  have  been  attendant  upon  this 
sort  of  life  for  years.  At  their  recent  auction  of 
three  days  their  old  famiture  was  sold  to  the  amotint 
of  $440.  and  new  bought  to  replace  it.  Tliey  seem 
to  be  hone.'it  in  btisiness  transactions,  but  in  bad  odor 
as  to  morals  and  religion.  The  .tnthorities  of  Peter- 
sham have  been  endeavoring  to  abate  the  Trouble  by. 
as  the  negro  said.  '  handing  ji^  his  resignatioii  to 
Howe.'  An  invitation  to  fold  his  tent  and  steal 
away,  backed  up  by  50  determined  citizens,  is  coming 
to  be  the  sentiment  of  the  neigliborhood.  The  air  is 
full  of  stories,  which,  if  not  all  true,  are  a  disgrace  to 
a  hill  town  of  New-England.  Designing  men  seem  to 
have  got  control  of  honest  hut  weak  and  simple- 
minded  people,  and  are  using  their  iniiuence  for  base 
and\'ile  ptirposes."

AX  ORAXGE  COUXTY  yrSMMOTH. 
The  Middletown  Press  has  the  following  ac- 
count of  the  mammoth  lately  discovered  in  an  Or- 
ange County  Swamp  ;  "  Mr.  Saruuel  AVilcox,  Friday, 
while  mowing  on  his  farm  near  Slato  Hill,  Orange 
County,  found  cropping  out  of  the  black  dirt  a  hirgo 
sktill  hone  of  a  mammoth  animal  of  some  by-gone 
period.  On  digging  about.  Mr.  Wilcox  exhumed  also 
a  rib  boue  a  foot  long,  and  sw'eral  pieces  of  the  back- 
bone. The  skull  bone  is  10  inches  broad  across  the 
face,  and  about  ItJ  inches  iu  length.  The  shape  is 
that  of  a  shield,  except  that  the  points  are  extended 
several  inches.  The  face  of  the  skull  has  two  pairs 
of  cavities  Lu  it  as  if  for  eyes  and  ears,  and  bears  evi- 
dence of  having  had  two  horns  broken  off,  the  nmrk 
of  one  being  above  the  other  in  the  line  of  the  centre 
of  the  head.  The  other  bones  were  found  back  of 
the  skull  and  only  a  few  feet  from  it-  The  swamp 
where  the  bones  were  found,  until  this  year,  has 
been  mostly  under  water,  but  last  Spring  was  drained, 
aud  it  was  mowed  this  season  for  the  first  time  in  a 
number  of  years.  The  place  where  the  bones  lie  is 
about  three  rods  from  the  edge  of  the  black  muek, 
and  it  was  headed  toward  the  opposite  side,  as  if  the 
animal  had  undertaken  to  cross  the  swamp.  The 
bones  are  in  a  good  state  of  preservation,  ilr.  AVil- 
cox  proposes  to  excavate  for  the  remainder  of  tho 
skeleton.  Some  years  ago  the  skeleton  of  a  masto- 
don was  fotmd  on  the  adjoining  Full^rton  farm,  now 
owned  by  Mr.  Thomas  Farley.,  Several  skeletons 
have  been  found  iu  the  swamps  of  Orange  County, 
which  seems  to  have  been  a  favorite  camping-ground 
for  the  huge  creattixes  that  lived  when  the  earth  was 
new."

now  A  PARTY  AT  REVERE  BEACH,  MASS., 
HAD  THEIR  PLEASURE  IIARRED  ON  THURS- 
DAY. 

From  ike  Boston  Journal,  Aug.  3. 

A  mysterious  case  of  poisoning  occurred  at 
Revere  Beach  yesterday  to  a  picnic  party  of  12  per- 
sons from  Newton  Centre,  by  which  their  day's  ex- 
cursion was  brought  to  an  unhappy  and  serious  ter- 
mination. The  party,  consisting  of  Mr.  and  Sirs. 
Daniel  H.  Knowles,  four  daughters  and  a  little  son, 
and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  T.  A.  Ward,  two  datighters,  and 
one  son,  left  their  homes  in  Newton  Centre  in  the 
morning  aud  drove  to  Revere  Beach  in  private  teams, 
to  spend  the  day  in  picnic  stj-le.  The  party  were  in 
perfect  health  when  they  started,  and  on  arriving  at 
the  beach  occupied  a  porti'iu  of  the  grove  adjoining 
the  Ocean  House.  At  noon  they  partook  of  a  dinner 
which  they  had  brought  with  them,  consislhig  of  cold 
ham,  cheese,  bread'  and  butter,  and  gi-een  apples, 
while  they  drank  some  tea  which  they  made. 

The  partv  strolled  over  the  bench  for  several  lionrs. 
and  ab»mt  o  <>'clock,  returned  to  the  grove,  when  sev- 
eral of  the  children  complained  of  being  .sick.  Sub- 
sequently, tho  cliUdren  commenced  to  vomit,  and 
appeared  to  be  in  terrible  paiiv  In  a  short  time  all 
of  the  party,  except  a  little  son  and  daughter  of  Mr. 
Knowles,  were  taken  sick  in  the  same  maimer.  The 
sick  persons  were  soon  unable  to  help  themselves, 
and  lay  writhuig  on  the  grass  iu.  the  grove.  ap]»ar- 
enily  in  great  agony,  when  their  condition  was  ilis- 
covered  by  other  jiersons  in  the  Wciuity.  Infnruia- 
tion  of  the  affair  spread  to  the  Ocean 
lluusp,  and  the  guests  hurried  to  the  lis- 
sih.t}iuce  of  the  helpless  ones.  A  large  crowd 
soon  gathered.  The  sick  ones,  iininbering  10  per- 
sons, were  taken  np  one  by  one  and  cari-i<"l  in  a  half 
uiji-4m^tioi:s  and  fainting  condition  to  the  Ocean 
House,  where  they  were  taken  ••haTge  of  by  t)ie  pm- 
lirietoTK,  Messj-s,  Tavieton  &  West.  A  iuiuiIkt  of 
rooms  were  gi^en  up  to  them,  and  a  messenger  was 
dispatched  to  Revere  for  a  physician.  In  a  short 
time  several  of  tho  ddldren  recovereil  so'as  to  be 
able  to  walk  about,  but  the  other  members  of  ih« 
party  still  remained  in  a  half  fainting  condition,  jukI 
vomited  intermittently.  Th.ey  remained  iu  this  con- 
dition for  some  time,  and  at  a  late  hour  last  evening 
h;;d  sjo  far  recovered  that  uo.fatal  consequences  were 
feared.  , 

The  cause  of  their  strange  illnes?  is  unknown.  The 
cheese  which  thi-y  ate  was  ver>-  (dd  and  musly.  while 
The  lifim  was  aUo  very  old.  All  of  the  party,  includ- 
ing tiiose  who  were' not  sick,  partook  «if  The  ha:n. 
while  only  a  few  ate  the  cheese.  <Jnly  tlie  children 
ate  the  green  apjiles.  The  supposition,  therelore.  is 
tliat  the  parly  were  poisoned  by  tlie  ham. 
as  all  but  two  wiio  ate  it  be'-ume  sick.  Xo 
clams  or  fish  were  partaken  of  1-y  any  of  the 
party.  Several  of  the  si'-k  pL-r«riis-,  ii])on 
iK-ing  questioned,  slated  that  the  ham  ta-t.-d 
vi-ry  fpieer  wlien  they  ate  it,  and  uprm  :in  ex- 
nmiuatiou  lieiiig  »lad^^  shortly  after  of  wh»t  remained 
of  the  ham  it  was  found  to  be  apparently  of  a  very 
]i'ior  quality  on  account  of  old  a;re.  Tii'e  s\Tn])toms 
I 'f  the  p'lisoned  ones  consisted  (irst  of  vomiting  aud 
then  fatntnes's  and  dizriness  in  the  hr-.nd.  Finally 
tlse  streiigih  of  the  parlies  wholly  deserted  them  and 
they  fell  helpless  on  the  irntss.  It  it  a  simrular  f;iet 
l)i;tt  the  cl.ihiren  recovered  qnicker  than  their 
jiaivnts.  and  sutfered  less.  The  children  were  the 
first  to  be  taken  ill.  and  were  sick  only  about  »u 
hour,  while  tlie  old  folks  prol>ably  will 'not  wholly 
recover  their  u»;nal  health  for  .severrd  da  vs.

A  Special  dispatch  from  Kome.  dated  July 
22.  iu  the  London  Times,  s-tys  :  "The  lirst  public  sit- 
ting lu-the  Aatonelli  case  was  held  yesterday.  The 
court  was  ornwded  to  suffucatiou.  and  anion:;  others 
many  of  the  leading  members  of  the  Italian  Bar 
were  present.  The  discussiou  was  principaUy  sus- 
tained by  Signor  Tajani  ou  the  part  of  the  plaintiff, 
and  by  Signer  Bacchettoni  for  the  defendants,  and 
chiefly  turaed  on  fno  question  as  to  whether 
the  Countess  Lambertitii,  haviug,  as  tlie  de- 
fense asserted,  a  recoguized  civil  pos;iiian,  could 
seek  natural  jiarentage  when  she  was  known 
as  the  daughter  of  legitimate  parent^.  Hie  de- 
fense further  niaintahied  tliat  the  three  eldtr 
witnesses  were  in  perfect  health,  and  that,  conse- 
quently, no  question  vt  urgeney  refjuired  their  de- 
positions. Sigtior  Tajani  mamiaiued  thai  ilie  mere

established  civil  position  as  required  hytheltaUnu

writers  on  canon,  law,  particularly  Cardinal  ili 
Luca.  to  show  tiu-.t  bcpiismal  regisn'ation  lidurded 
no  proof  of  birth,  and  that,  consequeniiv,  the 
Countess  Larabertiul  was  entitled  to  a  rule  per- 
mitting tho  examination  of  the  wliuessos  she  re- 
quiix-d.  atid  who.  he  stated,  were  inSrm.  The  court 
will  pronounce  its  decision  upon  this  minor  question " 
on  Tuesday  or  Thursday  next.  In  the  course  of  the 
discussion  Signor  Bacchettoni  endeavored  to  force 
Signer  Tajaui  to  reveal  the  name  of  the  hidy  said  to 
be  the.Cour.tessLambertini'sm  other.  SignoV  Tajimi 
rtplied  that  the  point  now  to  be  established  was  the 
paternal  origin  of  the  Countess,  and  her  right  to  rank 
as  Cardinal  Antonelli's  heiress.  As  regarded  the 
mother.  That  was  a  matter  for  after  cousideiii- 
tiou.  Tho  pluintift's  counsel  refr:i:ned  from 
nu'Utiouiug  lier  name,  because,  his  eiients  wero 
anxious  to  a\oid  the  X'^^^ut'-il  consequences  which 
would  inevitably  follow,  involving  persons  otherwise 
not  interested  iu  lue  case.  XeveilJieles.s,  if  ii  could 
not  be  avoided,  he  should,  when  the  time  came,  bo 
prepared  to  ivveal  her  name,  k•a^-ing  the  respi.'nsi- 
bility  to  his  adversaries.  Who  could  doubt,  he  Juiked, 
that  tlic  Countess  w«s  the  Cardinal's  daughter,  when 
tl'.ero  was  proof  th.it  he  had  expended  more  tlian 
2.000.0t>0  francs  (2,0Gl,y7i;  francs)  ou  her  up- 
brincing  and  education. 

"The  statement  made  bythc  ItaUe  that  the  mother 
of  the  Countess  was  of  Irish  origin,  and  now  married 
to  a-person  in  a  distinguished  pusition.  is,  I  am  in-

KEEP  out  of  the  umbrella  bnsiness." 

•■  If  you  sell  him  any  goods  wo  countermand  our  orders 
and  withdraw  our  patronaec." 

This  is  what  tho  LTmbrella  Ring  say  to  manufacturers 
of  nmbrolla  clothe  and  furniture. 

Slanufacturcrs  of  umbrella  f  umltnre  ar©  generally  men 
of  Rinall  capital — eomplfltflv  under  control  of  the  Um- 
brella Ring.  They  cannot  ajonl  to  act  independently. 
Tills  is  not  Rurpriain^;  but  that  some  of  the  largest  com- 
ml<5?!ion  liousfiH  In  this  Citv  are  equally  under  the  thumb 
of  the  Umbrella  Ring  is  almost  incredible. 

KEEP  determicel'to  makounibrella<t,  even  irithonttho 
consent  of  tlie  Umbrella  King,  and  now  Is  prepared  to 
furnish  any  quantity,  mace  strictly  in  conformity  with 
KEEP'S  plan — "Tho  very  boit  good*  at  the  very  lowest 
price." 

KEEP'S  gingham   umbrella.*!— tho   very  bo^t.Sl  each. 
These  are   the  best  that  can  be  produced.    KEEP'S  silk 
nmhrellas  will  soon  be  ro.vlv — equallv  cheap. 
^Ve  are  determined  to  show  the  Vmbrella  Ring  what 
KEEP  can  do. 

Now.  to  make  as  cranoral  a  distribution  as  possible,  wo 
will  supply  the  trade  at  co-*t, 

A  comnarLion  of  KEEPS  umbrellas  and  prices  will 
show  a  dlfferonco  tn  their  favor  of  soma  50  per  ront.  No 
wonder  tl^e  Umbrella  Ring  wanted  to  keep  KEEP  out. 
KEEPS  opibndtaa  will  not  bo  conflneil  to  any  special  par- 
ties, but  supplied  to  the  trade  at  large.

A-MERCSANT  TAKES  CffLOSAL, 

COIi.  JAS(£S  A.  GBOTEB  FOUND  DEAD  XSt  HIS 
BED  AT  THE  GRAND  CENTBAL  HOTKl/— KO 
REASON  ASSIGNED  FOB  THE  ACT. 
CoL  James  A.  Grover,  a  boarder  daring  the 
past  7«ar  at  the  Grand  Central  Hotel,  was  fotmd 
dead  yesterday  monilxig  in  his  room  from 
the  effects  of  an  over  lose  of  chloraL 
Col  Grover  originally  came  from  Colombus. 
Ohio,  where  his  father  now  resides.  He 
was  a  man  of  commanding  presence,  42  years  of  age, 
a  widower,  and  did  bnstness  in  this  City  as  a  com- 
mission merchant.  The  circnmstances  of  his  death 
are  rather  Involved  In  mystery,  as  it  is  not  known 
wiietlier  it  was  the  result  of  an  accident  or  deliberate 
siiiddd.  His  habits  were,  according  to  the  hotel 
managers,  comparatively  abstemious,  and  apparently 
he  was  not  financially  embarrassed.  A  sifzuificant 
fact  is  that  some  time  ago  he  requested  a 
friend  of  his  to  take  charge  of  his  remains 
in  the  event  of  his  being  found  dead 
somo  dny-  Coroner  Flanagan  held  an  inquest  yester- 
day afternoon  at  the  hotel.  Jane  Hlggins.  a  cham- 
bermaid on  the  eighth  floor,  testified  that  she 
icnocked  at  the  door  of  his  room  at  9  A.  M.,  and  re- 
cf-iving  no  response  went  in.  Discovering  that  Coi. 
Grover  was  apparently  dead,  she  informed  the  super- 
intendent who  summoned  a  physician.  The 
latter  pronounced  him  dead.  Mr.  H.  H.  Pow- 
ers, rashier  of  the  hotel,  testified  tnat 
tiie  de*-es.«ed  hnd  boarded  at  the  Grand  Central 
for  a  year ;  in  the  estimation  of  witness  he  was  a 
man  of  r<>mperato  habits  ;  was  not  aware  that  he  was 
iji  the  habit  of  taking  narcotics  ;  about  three  weeks 
atrn  Mr.  Powers  thought  that  (Srover  was  over- 
fitimubit  ing  himself :  on  Thur!»day  evening  he  acted 
ratjier  .<;tranirely.  and  was  somewhat  stupid  aud 
l.^o^^sL'  ttn  Friday  evening,  when  last  seen,  but  -he 
spc.k?  rationally.  Deputy  Coroner  Miller.  '  who 
made  the  antojisy  of  the  body,  found  that 
jie«th  resulted  from  an  overdose  of  chloral. 
_-\  lar::e  ^-ial  which  had  evidently  been 
f.!Ie4  vrith  the  drug  was  found  near  the  bed 
n^Rrly  **mpty.  In  the  opinion  of  Dr.  Miller  the 
(luantity  taken  waft  excessive.  Several  smaller 
empty  vials,  which  had  contained  the  same  drug. 
Here  foiin.'  in  the  wash-stand  drawer.  The  stomach 
of  the  d'»**«,ised  wa-i  found  to  be  greatly  congested, 
nn-!  tho  livar  diseased  and  enlarged.  The  ]ury  ren- 
di^re<i  a  verd.irt  "  that  James  A.  Grover  daed  from 
the  eflferts  of  an  overdose  of  chloral,  administered  by 
himself  while  laboring  under  temporary  aberration

J  DE U BERATE FRENCH^r AX'S  DEATH 

AN    OLD    MAX's   PEAR    OP    SICKIfESS HE    EXDS 

HIS  LIFE  TO  AVOID  LINGERIXG  PAIN— A 
LETTER  TO  HIS  LANDLORD. 
Jean  Baptiste  Marius,  a  Frenchman,  af^ed  74, 
pominitted  suicide  yesterday  morning  at  No.  173 
.Eleecker-atreet.  Mr.  Mariua  came  to  this  country 
about  fdx  years  ago,  and  had  since  been  engaged  in 
the  importation  of  wines.  He  kept  his  store  in  the 
basement  of  the  bouse  in  which  he  died,  and  he 
roamed  on  the  third  floor.  He  was  an  unmarried 
man  of  very  singular  habits.  He  used  to  spend  the 
^vhole  day  in  his  store,  from  7:30  A.  M.  until  5:30  In 
the  afternoon,  at  which  hour  he  invariably  closed  his 
establishment.  He  paid  hlsiandlord$l  aweekforsup- 
plying  him  with  three  eggs  every  day,  and  these  eggs, 
.^aten  with  wine,  constituted  all  the  nourishment  he 
t*K>k  during  the  day.  so  far  as  Is  known.  After  clos- 
ini;  up  his  store  in  the  evening  it  was  his  habit  to  go 
to  some  good  restaurant  and  get  a  hearty  supper, 
aftt'r  which  he  went  to  bis  roomr  and  spent  the  time 
there  until  10  o'clock,  when  he  retired.  Marius  was 
very  reticent  about  his  personal  history,  but  his 
tandloi^  thinks  that  he  was  a  Communist,  who-  was 
compelled  to  leave  France  to  avoid  trouble.  He  was 
fastidious:  In  his  habits  and  extremely  particular 
about  hi.s  dress.  He  always  seemed  to  have  mooev, 
and  paid  his  bills  promptly,  frequently  in  gold.  Mr. 
I)idien,  the  landlord,  was  vesterday  surprised  at  not 
freeing  Martnsat  his  business  up  to  10  o'clock,  and 
going  to  his  room,  found  him  in  the  agonies  of 
death.  On  the  bnreaai  were  found  two  bottles, 
one  containing  laudanum  and  the  other  morphine. 
There  were  afco  found  focr  letters,  one  addressed  to 
Mr.  Didien.  one  to  Mr.  Raptiael  I>ryfns.  No.  353 
"^^'est  Nineteenth-street :  one  to  a  nephew,  Prof. 
Guichard,  of  Not  958  Sixth-avenue,  President  of  the 
French  Benevolent  Society,  and  the  other  to  X<con 
Laguerre.  Etude  I>nfour.  Boulevard  Polssonnierre, 
Paris.  Dr.  Early,  who  was  rammoned,  could  render 
CO  assistauce,  and  Marius  shoT^ly  after  died.  The- 
following  is  a  translation  of  the  letter  to  Mr.  Didien : 

D«tr  3/r,  Diditn : 

I  am  very  norry  tiiat  I  am  about  to  give  you  so  much 
trooble.  on  uccount  of  the  determinarton  I  have  taken. 
Twent}'  days  ft««>  I  took  a  mind  to  commit  this  act.  but  I 
pat  it  off  ontil  now.  that  I  might  finish  my  month  and 
pay  you  for  th**  foJl  time.  For  a  long  time  I  h»ve  not 
been  very  well.  Mv  I^ks  have  commenced  to  swell,  and 
50  have  iny  feet.  iTiese  are  to  me  certain  signs  of  a  com- 
\nz  fever.  "It  is  the  beginning  of  the  end."  I  would 
rauier  iro  now  than  enter  a  long  period  of  eickneas.  I 
have  left  other  letters,  which  -yau  will  pleasts  be  Idnd 
enouKh  to  have  sent,  one  for  my  nephew  who  is  at  pre- 
P'.-ni  havinchls  vacation  at  Newport,  R.  L,  and  the  ouier 
for  Pari*.  The  one  for  Mr.  Dryfus  I  wl-^^h  yon  would  take 
to  him  as  soon  as  yon  can.  I  have  givpn  my  afTaira  to 
his  charae  and  he  will  look  after  them.  Vou  will  find  $5, 
which  will  pay  all  the  small  expenses  that  you  may  find 
Deccs.iar>*  and  for  my  week's  luncheon,  for  which  I  still 
o*-ve  TOO.  Good  bye.  I  will  see  what  is  going  on  In  the 
o:her  world.  MARIUS. 

Mr.  Drj-fus  vras  not  incltoed  to  give  any  informa- 
tion about  the  decea-sed,  and  hi**  nephew  will  not  bo 
In  the  City  until  to-morrow.  Coroner  Flanagan  has 
charge  of  the  body.

About  20  years  ago  Gerard  Harbes,  a  resi- 
dent of  Manetto  Hill,  Long  Island,  was  falsely  ac- 
cused and  imprisoned  in  the  Queens  County  Jail ,  for* 
tlio  murder  of  Raliff  Voorhees,  of  Plain  Edge,  for 
which  crime  a  Scotchman  named  Thomas  Atchcson 
was  afterward  hanged.  Daring  Ms  imprisonment 
Earbes  attempted  to  commit  Buidde  by  hanging  him- 
self in  his  cell,  but  was  cut  down  in  \\me  to  save.his 
life  by  George  S.  Dowoaing.  then  Sheriff  of  the  county. 
"What  Harbes  failed  to  do  then  he  accomplitbed  a  few 
days  ago.  Ho  was  under  examination  before  Justice 
Davis  on  a  charge  of  assault  and  battery  upon  Peter 
t*ievers.  one  of  his  neighbors,  on  Monday,  and  at 
noon  wa<  allowed  to  go  home  to  dinner,  after  which 
time  nothing  was  seen  of  him  until  Wednesday  morn- 
ing when  tus  son  saw  him  hangtng  from  a  beam  in  a 
com-crib.  He  was  the  owner  of  a  well-kept  farm  of 
40  acres,  and  was  considered  well  to  do.  Doubtles.s 
the  fear  of  going  to  jail  caused  him  to  commit  suicide.

Michael  "Wilson,  of  No.  90  West  Third-street, 
attempted  to  commit  a  burglary,  on  Friday  night,  on 
the  premises  of  Herman  Weslage,  No.  165  Perry-

END  OF  THE  SILK  WE  A  VERS'  STRIKE. 
The  strilriiig  silk  weavers  of  Paterson,  N.  J., 
m  at  least  the  great  majority  of  them,  will  return  to 
-work  to-morrow.  Yesterday  Messrs.  Solellac  & 
^on  signed  the  scale  of  prices  which  the  weavers 
offered  in  compromise  to  work  at,  and  this  example 
te  to  be  followed  by  nearly  all  the  other  manofac- 
rCoroTs  as  soon  as  they  may  have  the  opportunity  of 
lymf erring  with  the  men.  The  first  manu- 
^etnrer  to  accede  to  the  emplojea'  nUn  was  ex- 
playor  John  Byle,  of  the  Mtmay  SUll,  wnoae  weavvrs.

the  list  of  mill  owners  who  iiad  taken  the  stand 
against  the  weavers  in  this  emergency.  By  to-mor- 
row night  it  is  believed  that  most  of  the  mil^  now 
closed  will  be  running  fuJl  time,  and  Paterson  wiD 
again  have  at  least  one  industry  that  Is  not  £n  pros- 
tration by  the  panic.  It  is  estimated  that  the  loss  to 
Paterson  through  the  strike  amounts  to  not  less  tlum 
$150,000.  ■  

THE  SEWLNG  GIRLS'  EXCURSION, 

AMPLE  PREPfeATIONS,  BUT  A  LIGHT  ATTEND- 
ANCE— THE  REASONS  FOR  THIS — A  PLEAS- 
ANT EXCURSION  FOR  THOSE  WHO  DID  GO. 
The  free  excursion  to  Rockawayof  the  sewing 
girls  of  New- York  and  Brooklyn  took  place  yester- 
day. In  point  of  arrangements  the  excursion  was  all 
the  advertisements  promised ;  in  point  of  attendance 
it  was  nowhere.  It  will  be  remembered  that  5lr.  R. 
Cornell  White  had  assigned  the  large  steamer  Colura- 
bidfor  the  trip;  2,500  free  tickets  were  to  be  dis- 
tributed ;  refreshments  were  to  be  provided  gratis  on 
the  boat,  and  the  hotels  nt  Rockaway  Beach  had 
madejprovlsion  for  the  entertainment  of  the  excur- 
siouiss  in  the  way  of  free  chowder  and  bathing 
dresses.  Each  hotel  was  to  accommodate 
as  many  as  it  conveniently  could,  and  the 
large  hotel  at  the  middle  lauding  would  take 
charge  of  300.  "When  tho  free  tickets  came  to 
be  counted  on  the  Col'.imbia  on  her  return  home  in 
the  afternoon  it  was  found  that  instead  of  1.500  or 
2,54.>0.  ns  some  samruine  persons  had  anticipated,  the 
'  number  of  semnj:  iiirls  who  had  availed  themselves 
of  the  opportunity  for  a  free  excursion  was  less  than 
600.  Afl  the  Columbia  carried  her  ordinary  Satur- 
day's complement  of  fxcun*inuisis  in  addition,  it 
may  well  Ije  suppwiserl  that  there  wa-s  nothing  about 
the  crowd  on  board  to  di.st^^i<*h  it  as  a  speoial  ex- 
oursiou  i>arty.  The  hotel?  Ht  the  beach  were  not 
CiiUed  upon  to  any  extf-nt  to  dispense  free 
viands :  in  fact,  some  of  the  hotel  people 
seemeil  to  be  patiently  e.xperiing  the  excursion  lone 
after  its  arrival;  but  probably  there  was  quite  a 
livelv  demand  for  hathine-dresses.  judging  by  the 
nnmoer  of  people  tumblinc  about  in  the  surf.  The 
majority  of  the  girls  who  came  aboard  with  thei  ex- 
cursion ticket."  seemed  to  be  from  14  to  16  years  of 
ace;  there  were  comparatively  few  above  that  ace. 
The  fact  is.  .sewini;  eirls.  as  a  rule,  eam^  comparative- 
ly good  wages.  Girls  who  go  out  sewing  in  families 
get  $1  50  or .f2  per  day  and  their  board;  those  who 
work  in  large  clothing  and  dry  ^oods  establishments 
earn  from  $8  to  $1.t  T>er  week.  It  is  clear  that  the 
loss  of  a  day's  waces  wouM  be  of  more  moment  to 
them  than  the  free  ride.  .>nncp  the  fare  i.*  only.50 
cents.  Sunday  is  s  day  on  which  they  are  at  libe^y. 
and  they  can  go  on  that  day.  pay  their  way,  and  "not 
be  the  loser.    Of  the  ^rls  who  did  go  yesterday,  it  is 

frobable  that  the  majority  of  them  earned  oiilyjtlie 
•west  rates,  and  the  excursion  to  them  was  tmdoubt- 
edly  a  real   boon.    'Nothini-  could   l-e  said  exct*Dt  iii 

S-ai-so  of  the  arran(;etDents   made  for  the   girls  who

"Li\*e  and  Let  Live."  pn»vided  whole  barrels  of  lem- 
onade, snd,  beaminj;  with  jollity  and  benevolence, 
invited  all  the  women  aud  children  aboard  the  boat 
to  drink  all  they  wanted — which  they  did.  The  bfas.'* 
band  on  the  upper  deck  puffed  and  puffed  with  scarce 
an  interna i.'ision  :  ajiowerfuJ  srleo  club  of  tiiree  voices 
entertained  the  excnrsioni.stB  in  the  forward  part: 
the  refreshments  not  on  the  free  list  were  plentijful, 
and  of  moderate  price,  and  the  weather  was  abso- 
lutely delightful.  It  Bay  l»e  of  some  Interest!  to 
know  that  the  Coluinbia.  which  makes  the  trip  to 
Rockaway  every  dav  of  tho  werk.  carries  women  and

THE  EXCISE  AGlTATIOSi 

LIQUOR  SOLD  AS  USCAL  WITHOUT  LICEN'SE^ 
THE  **  GEXERAL  ORDER*'  AND  HOW  IT 
WAS  ENFORCED — THE  WHISKY  SELLERS 
MOURStSG   FOR    PURROY.  Il 

Xothing  specially  new  wa.s  developed  io  [ex- 
cise matters  yesterday.  Out  of  the  7.000  unlicensed- 
liquor  dealers  in  this  City,  about  a  dozen- 
were  arrested  on  Friday  for  violation  i  of 
the  law.  The  much  tjilked  of  "General  Or- 
der" says' that  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  |Po- 
lice  to  arrest,  "  without  warrant,"  all  penJons 
selling  without  a  license,  but  this  seemied  to  l)e 
treated  on  all  hands  as  a  pleaiuint  little  fiction — good 
enough  for  the  temperance  people,  but  a  trifle  [too 
extreme  to  be  seriously  enforced.  It  would  have 
been  hard  to  find  a  precinct  yesterday  In  which  hsr- 
rooms  were  not  openly  doing  business  in  flagrant 
violation  of  the  law  and  directly  under  the  nose.ij  of 
the  Police.  AVithin  a  stone's  throw  of 
head- quarters  a  Times  reporter  counted  I  10 
saloons,  almost  all  of  them  unlicensed,  aud  all 
doing  a  thrinng  trade  in  ales,  wines,  and  liquors. 
Burly  patrolmen  swung  their  clubs  idly  in  front  of 
the  open  doors,  within  plain  hearing  of  the  clink  of 
glasses  inside,  but  no  move  was  made  to  stoplthe 
open  and  palpable  infractions  of  the  law  visibl^  on 
every  hand.  The  execution  of  the  "general  order" 
yesterday  was,  if  possible,  a  greater  farce  than 
the  sensational  raids  of  last  fjummer,  in 
which  the  formality-  of  arresting  and  bailing 
irresponsible  barkeepers  wa.s  gone  through  with  so 
many  iBtindred  times.  Many  of  the  dealers  openly 
ridiculed  the  idea  of  the  Police  interfering  with  thiem. 
"I  have  the  receipt  for  my  SoO  license  money. "  saida 
saloon-keeper  on  Tliirdavouue  to  a  Timbs  'reporter 
la.st  evening,  "and  Justice  Huify  decided  ^oM,  year 
that  that  wa.s  enoiuih  to  protect  me  from  arrest  ttntil 
the  board  decide<l  for  or  BRnlnst  my  application."  He 
was  reminded "  that  the  majority  of  the  Justices, 
took  a  different  %iew  of  the  -'.-tse  now.  "Welljlet 
them  do  so  if  they  want  to."  was  the  ansilrer,  'jwe 
have  money  enough  to  fiirht  the  thing  out.  Because 
a  man  is  a  liquor  ri'-uler.  that  doc?  not  dcnrivc  hiiii  of 
his  rights."  The  Gcniuitis  are  not  so  rnurh  exercised 
about  the  new  consirufiii-Ti  of  the  law  as  their  <*on- 
freres  of  other  nutionnliiie.'*.  the  sale  of  ule  and  beer 
not  beine  affected  by  the  Omrt  ?of  Appeals  deci- 
sion. If  the  Polife  attempt  any  general  inter- 
ference with  them  to-morrow,  however,  tliero 
will  be  a  renewal  of  the  "  iiuliCTiation  "  meetings  and 
agitation  of  last  Sunnner.  The  (ierman  r>emocrals 
say  that  Tammany  dare  nor  permit  a  repetilioii  of 
the  Snnilay  barassinc;  to  wiiicli  they  were  Subjetfte^I 
la.st  SnmmVr.  "This  is  nn  off  year. "' said  onei  of 
their  number  yesterday.  "  and  -lofin  Kelly  don"t  care 
alKtut  et'tting  the  (icrmans  d"wn  on  him  again,  as  in 
IftTo."  The  f.ict  that  the  interests  of  Tammany 
Hall  are  largely  idi-ntit-al  with  those  of  the  liquor 
deiilTs  also  makes  the  I;iUcr  confident  that  jthe 
trouble,  if  auv.  -^Till  he  -•'hort  lived.  Among  the  bhort- 
hnired  gin-mill  proprietors  there  is  a  pe nenti  lament 
that  Tammany  is  not  botier  represented  Inthebofti-d. 
"  If  we  only  had  I'urroy  thf;Te."  said  one  of  tbem 
yesterday,  '■  we  wouldn't  be  in  tiiis  fix."  A  numl>er

As  the  matter  has  been  left  in  the  haiuls  of  tho 
Captains,  the  latter  will  probnldy  eiercif»c  their  dis- 
cretion as  usual ;  or.  in  nthor  words,  arre.st  one  man

upon  the  whim  or'fancy  of  the  Captain  of  each  pre- 
cinct. 

AMUSIXO  IXCIDENT  AT  A  BRIDAL  PAHTT. 
Last  Thtirsday  evening  a  member  of  th«  Slk 
Association,  of  Brookl^m,  E.  D.,  was  married  to  a 
yotmg  lady  residing  on  Humboldt-street.  In  the 
height  of  the  festivities  the  joker  of  tho  associaLiou 
by  some  means  got  possession  of  the  bride's  tiny 
satin  slipper.  This  he  circled  about  his  head  as  the 
cruests.  attracted  by  the  bride's  timid  acream, 
began  to  gather  about  him.  "How  much,  ladie»  and 
gentlemen, "  said  he,  "  am  I  offered  for  this  Jewell" 
The  guests,  fully  appreciating  the  joke,  freely  made 
bids.  Upon  a  bid  of  $70  bemg  made,  the  amufceur 
auctioneer  fci^ed  to  be  displeased,  and  exclaimed: 
"Why,  the  little  bunch  of  ribbons  on  it  is  worth 
more  than  that."  The  bid  having  been  raised  to 
$125,  it  is  said  by  an  admirer  of  the  voung  bride, 
the  members  of  the  association  themselves  begaai  to 
compete  for  the  possession  of  the  slipper,  and  with  a 
call  of  $150  gained  the  prize.  The  fortunate  gentle- 
men intend  to  cover  it  with  a  glass  case  aud  piace  it 
in  a  prominent  position  in  their  club-rooma.  During 
this  bidding  the  blushing  bride  and  discontented 
groom  stood  utterly  dumfounded  on  the  outskirts 
of  the  crowd  of  laughing  guests.  The  occurrence  is 
said  to  have  aroused  the  groom's  mafhcma^cal 
ardor,  and  he  is  reported  to  be  studiously  engaged  in 
endeavoring  to  solve  the  problem:  "If  the  little 
slipper  is  worth  $150,  how  much  is  the  litUegirl 
herself  worth  ? ' |

An  investigation  into  alleged  irrogiilar  and

SAftATOOA.,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  4.— The  first  regtilar 
me-  ting  of  the  Saratoga  Racing  Association  termin- 
ated to-day  with  a  series  of  races  never  excelled  in 
the  bnlliancy  of  the  finishes.  There  was  an  almost 
clfjndless  sky,  with  a  refreshing  mountain  breere 
which  tempeird  the  heat  of  the  sun,  and  brought 
'health  and  refreshment  on  the  world  below."  The 
prt^ramme  being  of  an  attractive  nature  there  was 
no  diminution  in  the  attendance  of  spectators.  The 
grand;  stand  presented  the  same  animated 
specti^ie  as  ou  the  prevloiis  days,  and  the  only  au* 
noyanjce  was  the  dust  Idcked  up  by  the  horses  when 
they  pa.^sed  along  the  stretch.  The  day  was  most 
disastrous  to  tJie  knowing  division,  as  only  one  of  tho 
favori]tes  succeeded  in  catohlng  the  Judge's  eye  first. 
The  i^atest  disaster  of  tho  day  was  the  defeat  of 
Tom  Ochlltr^o  by'ft'hisper,  this  being  the  third  time 
he  has  l>een  beaten  during  the  meetinK.  Thisof  cotirse 
elatedi  the  Western  jnen  who  expected  to  catch  the 
big  hwrse  when  he  got  stale.  Ochiltree  has  run  too 
many  -hard  races  over  long  distances  of  ground,  and 
wants' time  to  recuperate-  Virginiua  captured  the 
mile  dash  in  very  fast  time,  and  the  favorite,  Rbsda- 
manthus,  got  no  better  than  third  place.  The  two- 
year  old  race  was  won  by  Pique,  and  Lucifer  wound 
up  the  day  by  winning  the  selling  race.  Thus  the 
East  and  West  stood  even— each  winning  two  races. 
The  success  of  tlie  Western  men  so  far,  will  encour- 
age them  to  send  strong  stables  here  next  year.

THE    MILE    DASH. 

Thejday's  entertainment  began  with  a  doffh  of  one 
mile,  for  all  ages,  with  allowances  to  beaten  maidens, 
whichlbronght  out  P.  Lorrillard'sb.  g.  Bombast,  J. 
E.  Brewster  &  Co.  "s  blk.  c  Alrginins,  Dwyer 
Brothers'  blk.  b.  Rhad amanthna,  and  Oden  Bowie's 
ch.  f .  !Mary.  Vera  Cruz  was  also  entered,  and  he 
was  the  Tavorite  in  the  combinations,  bat  there  was 
some  sharp  practice  somewhere  and  much  cnm- 
nieut.  At  the  last  moment  the  Western 
colt  was  withdrawn,  and  eonsenuently  fill 
bets         on  him  were         lost        tnat         were 

plav  or  pay.  The  colt  waa  backed  very  freely,  last 
night  in  the  Imoks,  and  Williams,  the  owner  of  Vera 
Craz,  was  present  and  saw  people  put  their  money 
on  him,  but  gave  no  iaHmatton  that  he  intended  to 
withdraw  from  the  race.  Actions  like  this  bring 
disgrace  upon  the  turf,  snd  it  should  be  the  rule  that 
in  racen  which  close  the  day  before  the  content,  the 
entries  must  start,  unlesa  they  are  excused  by  the 
judges  for  eood  and  sufficient  reasons.  Stu:h  bare- 
faced robbery  will  bring  its  ptinisbment  bye 
and  by.  In  the  pools  just  before 
fore  the  start  Rhadamantbus  brotight  $ti50.  Bom- 
bast $115,  Virginius  and  Mary  $4o.  Peter  Walden 
officiated  as  starter,  and  at  the  first  attempt  the 
horseH  were  well  t<:^ther,  but  the  flag  did  not  fall, 
and  there  was  a  murmur  of  surprise,  as  they  could 
not  have  received  a  better  start.  Bombast  was  ob- 
stinate and  Brown«  his  trainer,  was  obliged  to  use 
the  whip  on  him,  to  which  the  colt  responded  with 
vigfjroua  kicks.  On  the  fourth  attempt  the^r  were 
sent  away  to  a  good  start  with  Virginius 
and  Mary  together,  Bombast  lapping  the  latter 
with  :Kbadamanthus.  As  Uiev  ran  to  the  turn 
Bombast  sliot  to  the  front,  ana  going  around  it  he 
was  a  length  in  front  of  Virginius,  who  was  the  same 
distance  in  advance  of  Rhadamanthus,  who  was 
lapped  at  the  saddle-girth  by  Mary.  Borbee  sent 
Vu^nius  along,  and  when  they  reached  the  quarter 
pole  he  was  at  the  saddle-girth  of  Bombast  and  was 
leading  Khadamanthiu  a  length,  the  latter  being  the 
same  distance  before  Maiy.  (ioing  along  the  back 
stretch.  Bombast  kept  cutting  out  the  work  in  fine 
style  and  drew  away  from  \irginius,  while  In  the 
meantime.  Evans  set  to  work  with  Rhadaman- 
thus, and  with  a  rush  the  latiter  passed  Virginius 
and  led  him  half  a  length,  while  Mary  was  at  the 
quarter  of  VtrginiuS.  When  they  had  reached  the 
half-mile  pole  Bombast  was  leaains;  a  length,  and 
Rhadamanthus  waa  showinK  his  neck  in  front  of 
Virginiixft,  who  was  still  half  a  length  before  Mary. 
Round  the  lower  turn  the  race  continued  to  be  very 
brilliant,  and  won  enthusiasm  from  the  excited 
spectators.  The  pace  was  very  fost^  and  the 
brush;  for  the  lead  one  of  the  beet  ever 
witnessed.  Mary  closed  up  to  the  shoulder  of 
Vinmiius.  and  the  pair,  yoked,  made  their  way  to  the 
head  of  Rhadamanthus,  and  then  the  trio  closed  np  on 
Bombast,  who  led  them  half  a  length.  'When  they 
turned  into  the  home  stretch,  however.  Bombast  and 
Virgiiiius  came  out  from  the  bunch,  and  In  the 
straight  work  the  race  lay  between  the  two.  Bom- 
bast stmtnrled  gamely  to  maintain  the  lead,  and  had 
it  by  a  neck  past  the  furlomc  pole  :  but  Virginius 
overtook  him  at  the  distance  stand,  and,  after  a  rao.«*t 
exciting  tlni-sh,  won  the  race  by  a  n(N?k.  Bombast 
was  four  lengths  ahead  of  Rhadamanthus,  who  beat 
Mary  for  ihml  place  by  a  neck.  Time— l:4ii^— * 
very  fast  race. 

THK  FIVE  Fl'RLONOS. 
The;  second  event  on  the  card  was  a  dash  of  five 
f  urloi^s,  for  maiden  --year  old.^,  and  "seven  young- 
sters Sported  silk  on  the  occasion,  namely :  Charles 
Reed's  Bridget.  F.  Smythe's  Telephone,  Pierre  Loril- 
lard's  Pique,   D.  D.  Withers  Lou  Lanier,   D.   Mc- 

Daniel's  ch.  f.,  by  War  Dance,  and  Thomas 
Purj-Qar's  Clifton.  In  the  pools  befor«t  the 
start  '-  Pique  was  the  favorite  at  $«2.*i. 
Withers'  filly  bringlna  $165  Clifton  $160.  Lou 
Laniet  $155,  and  the  field  $15d.  They  were  i^rted 
half  i^ay  down  the  fractional  track  and  noon  got 
away.!  As  they  were  nmuing  obliquely  from  the 
si)ect(ttors  it  was  hard  to  tell  which  of  the  lot  was 
in  front.  When  they  turned  into  the  regular  track 
at  tbB  half-mile  pole,  however,  McDanlel's  ftliy 
Fliowed  herself  in  front  of  Clifton,  who  was 
just  ■  leading  the  others  in  a  ruck,  with 
Telephone  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  Wheif 
they  '  came  round  the  lower  turn,  Mc- 
I)anie1's  filly.  Pique,  Lou  Lanier,  and  Clifton  were 
toj;eilier.  but  when  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch 
I'ioue  and  Withers'  Ally  came  out  from  the  others, 
ana  had  their  followers  beaten  a  1^°&.  '^'''^7  from 
home.  -A.t  the  furlong  pole  Pique  and  Withers'  flllv 
were  head  and  head,  but  Withers*  filly  could  not 
maintain  her  position,  and  Pique  comlns  forward, 
won  the  race  by  a  full  length  in  l:04i3.  Withers' 
filly  second,  four  lengths  ahead  of  McDanlel'B  filly 
third  t  Lou  Lanter  fourth,  jnst  leading  the  others. 
;     THK   TWO   MILES  AND  A   QUABTEB. 

Next  came  the  great  event  of  the  day,  the  two 
miles  |and  a  quarter  race,  which  had  seven  nomina- 
tion.H,:  but  only  five  of  them  faced  the  starter, 
namely :  Charles  Reed's  ch.  f.  Athlene,  4  years  ; 
Georj^  L.  LoriUard's  b.  h.  Tom  Ochiltree,  5  years  ; 
F.  Carter's  ch.  c  Jenifer,  4  years  ;  J.  T.  Williams' 
b.h.  W'lisp*'"!  *^y^*'™'  andCarr  &Co.'ab.  t  Viceroy,  4 
y  earsj  They  all  had  seven  pounds  oflf.  and  Ochiltree  was 
a  most  pronounced  favorite,  selllnjj  at  two  to 
one  ;  over  the  field.  The  Western  division 
backed  the  field  strongly,  and  although  Wtiisper 
was  to  give  Tom  two  pounds  in  weight,  it  was  gener- 
ally t^ii  that  the  great  horse  was  a  little  st«le  and 
needed  rest.  They  were  started,  as  usual  In  races  of 
two  and  a  quarter  miles,  from  the  three-quarter  pole, 
and  when  the  Hag  fell  they  were  apparently  on  even 
tcrrasl.  hut  little  Athlcne  started  out  to  make  the 
nmnipi;  vJi  usual,  and  was  followed  otit  by  Jenifer, 
with  iOchiltive  pulling,  in  the  third  place.  When 
they  treached  the  stand  Jenifer  was  a  head  in 
front  i  of  Athlene,  and  she  three  lengths  In 
ftdvanice  of  Tom  Ochiltree,  who  was  four  lengths 
ahead!  of  Viceroy,  who  was  just  ahead  of  Whisper. 
As  thby  went  around  the  turn,  Jenifer  did  not  have 
spewl]  Vuouch  to  taiie  the  tra«t  and  Athlene  went 
nhea^  and  le«l  a  length  and  a  half,  but  at  the  quarter 
pole  sfhe  was  only  a  length  in  front  of  Jenifer,  who 
was  iiJ length  before  C)chUtTee,  and  he  a  length  ahead 
of  Viceroy,  followed  by  AVhisiJer,  who  was  running 
well  in  hand.  As  they  ran  along  the  back  stretch, 
A I  h  lejne  increased  her  pace,  and  she  soon 
opentnl  a  gap  of  three  lengths,  with  Jenifer  second, 
]upi>ed  at  the  quarter  by  Tom  Ochiltree,  who  was 
threoj  lengllis  before  Viceroy  and  Whisper.  "When 
they  got  nearer  the  half-mile  pole,  Ochiltree  went  past 
Jenifer,  and  when  they  reached  that  point  Athlene 
was  showing  the  way  two  lengths  ahead  of  Ochiltree, 
who  was  a  length  before  Jeniior,  he  being  the  same 
distarice  ahead  of  Viceroy,  while  Whisper  remaned 
two  lengths  In  the  rear,  still  running  well  in  hnnd. 
There  was  not  much  change  as  they  ran  round  the 
lowei*  turn,  but  on  the  home  stretch  Ochiltree  got  a 
little  Closer  to  Athlene,  who  finished  the  first  mile 
and  a'quarter  of  the  race  a  length  and  a  half  in  front 
of  Tr^m  Ochiltree,  who  was  four  lengths  away  from 
Viceroy,  who  waa  l«»ading  ^\^liflper  by  a  neck.  When 
they  tan  round  the  turn  again,  Athlene  increased  her 
leaa  tio  a  couple  of  lengths,  by  which  distance  she 
passed  the  quarter  pole.  In  the  meantime  Jenifer 
and  Viceroy,  runnina;  up,  had  lapped  Ochiltree,  and 
Whisper  was  in  the  rear  again.  ^Vhen  they  ran  along 
the  back  stretch  again.  Athlene  showed  only  a  length 
in  front  of  OchUtree,  and  the  pace  was  considerably 
increased,  and  Viceroy  held  the  third  place  at  Ochil- 
tree's tail,  Jenifer  fo\irth,  but  beginning  to  drop  out 
of  the  race,  while  Whisper  was  inching  np  for  his 
finjd,  iun.  Before  reaching  the  half-mile  pole,  Ochil- 
tree I  had  captured  Athlene,  and  led  her  a  neck, 
while  whisper  had  run  up,  and  woe  lapping 
the  filly,  whue  Viceroy  showed  distress,  and  Jenifer 
was  several  lengths  In  the  rear,  having  a  good  view 
of  th^  race.  Wnen  they  came  round  the  lower  turn 
the  eficitement  began,  as  Athlene  dropped  back 
alight3y,  aud  AVhisper  challenged  Ochiltree.  Whisper 
got  1)0  the  neck  of  the  favorite,  and  Athlene  was 
lappmg  tbe  quarter  of  the  Western  horse, 
whue  the  other  two  were  entirely  out  of  the 
race. '  Thus  the  three  turned  into  the  stretch,  when 
Athlene  gave  it  np,  and  Tom  waa  in  front  at  the 
furlong  pole  ;  but  up  came  Whisper,  steadily  and  as 
sure  ;as  fate,  and  finally  headed  him.  Tom  then 
began  to  quit,  and  Borbee  drew  his  whip.  As  soon 
as  this  was  seen  by  the  spectators  there  was  a  gen- 
eral ahoMt,  and  the  Western  division  were  in  ecsta- 
cieo,  as  it  became  evident  that  Whisper  would  prove 
the  victor.  When  the  latter  came  boldly  to  the 
front;  and  Tom  shortened  his  stride,  there 
was  'a  shout  of  triumph  from  the  Ken- 
tuckians,  which  continued  tmtil  Whisper  passed 
the  judges  a  winner  by  three  lengths  in  4:02.  Tom 
Ociultree  waa  four  lengths  ahead  of  Athlene,  while 
Viceroy  and  Jexiifer  were  beaten  off  a  long  distance. 
The  race  was  an  excellent  one,  and  run  at  a  fast 
pace,  las  will  be  seen,  hj  the  time  of  the  different 
quaxters.  The  first  mtarter  was  ran  in  0:27,

'        THE   SETTLING   RAOB. 

-  The  eonolnding  event  of  the  day  was  a  selling  race 
for  all  ages,  dash  of  a  mile  and'a  half,  in  which  there 
were  three  competitors,  namely :  George  Longstaff's 
b.  h.  Shylock,  James  T.  Williams'  b.  h.  Fair  Play, 
and  William  Mnlkey*!  br.  c.  Lucifer.  The  day, 
which  began  so  disastrously  to  the  knowing  ones, 
continued  to  the  end,  for  Shylock  was  the  favorite, 
and  sold  fori$240,  Lacifer  $200,  and  Fair  Play  $145. 
Tbe  distance  being  a  mile  and  a  halt  they  were 
started  from  the  half-mile  pole,  and  when  the 
flag  fell,  Lucifer  got  away  in  the  lead,  with  Fair  Play 
second,  and  Shylock  third  ;  but  these  positions  were 
soon  changed,  as  Evans  set  out  with  Shylock  to  make 
the  pace,  and  Lucifer  followed  him.  When  they 
turned  into  the  stretch  Shylock  led  a  length,  and  then 
increased  his  lead  to  a  length  and  a  half  at  the  judges' 
stand :  Lucifer  second,  two  lengths  in  front 
of  Fair  Play.  In  this  manner  they  ran  rotxnd 
the  turn  to  the  quarter-pole,  and  going 
along  the  back  stretch  there  was  a  length 
of  daylight  between  the  three,  but  when  they 
got  nearer  the  half-mile  pole  Lucifer  closed  np.  and 
passing  that  point  he  was  at  the  quarter  of  Shylock, 
hut  Fair  Play  was  still  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  Com- 
ing round  the  lower  turn.  Fair  Play  moved  up  to 
the  tail  of  Lucifer,  and  he  was  at  the  heels  of  Shy- 
lock. Thus,  they  ran,  nose  and  tail,  into  the  honie 
stretch,  and  there  was  a  fast  race  home.  Shylock 
kept  the  lead  like  a  winner  up  to  the  four-mile  dis- 
tance-stand, when  Lucifer  caught  him,  and  Fair  Play 
was  close  up  behind  nnder  the  whip,  but  gamely  re- 
sponding to  it.  When  thev  neared  the  goal  Lucifer 
snot  to  the  front  and  won  t^e  racfr  by  three-quarters 
of  a  length,  Shylock  a  length  in  front  of  Fair  Play. 
The  time  wan  2:46,  which  was  much  slower  than  an- 
ticipated. The  winner  was  offered  at  auction  as 
usnal,  but  there  was  no  bid  over  the  stated  selling 
price,  and  he  waa  retfdned  in  the  Missouri  stable.

THE  MURDER  OF  JOHN  G  VNSER, 


GEORGE  MICHEL  COMMITTED  FOB  THE  AC- 
TION OP  THE  GRAXD  JURY — MRS. 
GCNSER  ARRESTED  ON  SrSPICIOX  OF 
HAVING  KILLED  HER  HUSBAND. 
The  most  persistent  inquiry,  continued  ever 
since  the  date  of  the  murder,  has  failed  to  reveal  who 
Itllled  John  Gnnser  tn  bis  bed  at  East  Williamsburg. 
Long  Island,  on  the  night  of  .Sunday,  May  13.  The 
Biupicions  of  neighbors  were  at  first  directed  toward 
his  wife,  who  was  said  to  have  lived  unhappily  with 
him,  but  the  fact  that  she  was  hurt  at  the  same  time 
that  he  was  killed,  servf^  to  divert  the  at- 
tention of  the  authorities  from  her.  Several  persons 
were  arrested  during  the  Coroner's  inquest  on  sus- 
picion of  hvring  committed  the  crime,  but  they 
were  all  subsequently  discharged.  Several  weeks  ago  a 
man  named  Cxeorge  Michel,  a  barber,  residing  next 
door  to  the  saloon  kept  by  the  Gunsers,  was  arrested 
and  charged  with  the  murder.  Several  examinations 
have  been  made  into  the  charges  against  him,  but  the 
only  fact  at  all  affecting  Mm  waa  the  one  that  he  had 
several  lawsulte  with  Gunser.  and  that  he  frequently 
threatened  violence  to  the  deceased.  Another  exam- 
ination was  carried  on  yesterday,  at  Newtown, 
before!  Justice  MitcheL  District  Aitomey  Downing 
was  present,  and  interrogated  the  witnesses.  A  great 
deal  of  testimony  was  taken,  but  none  of  It  was  im- 
portant, except  that  of  the  prisoner.  Geoige  Michel, 
Rev.  liOnls  Eolnsr,  John  Bosshsrd.  and  Detective 
George  Zundt.  Michel  testified  that  he  had  not  been 
in  Otinser's  saloon  for  two  years  previous  to  the  mur- 
der, having  quarreled  with  Gunser  and  with  some  of 
his  workmen.  He  denied  that  he  ever  threatened  to 
harm  Gunser,  but  admitted  tliat  be  once  said' to  him  ; 


God  >nc«  punished  you,  and  he  will 
again,''  alluding  to  the  fact  that  Gunsef's  leg  had 
been  broken.  He  stated  also  that  on  the 
day  after  the  murder  Gunser's  father  entered  his 
house  and  said  to  him  :  "  What  do  you  think  of 
the  murder  of  my  son  :  I  can  take  the  murderer  in 
my  arms  :  she  killed  him  :"  witness  tmdcrstood  the 
old  man  to  refer  to  Mrs.  Gunser.  his  daughter- in  daw. 
Michel  also  testfficd  that  he  had  spoken  to  Jacob 
Elsie  about  the  murder^  saying  that  the  person  who 
committed  ,lt  would  certainly  be  discovered  ;  but 
Eisle  always  apt>eared  uowilling  to  discuss  the 
matter. 

Rev.  Mr.  Eulner  testified  that  yesterday  he  asked 
old  Mr.  Gunser  who  he  thought  killed  his  son.  and 
the  old  man  replied  that  he  thought  bis  daughter-in- 
law  committed  the  crime,  but  he  could  not  prove 
tbat  she  did  so.  John  Bosshard  testliled  that  on  the 
day  following  the  murder  old  Mr.  Gnnser  said  to 
him,  "Do  you  know  that  the  mtirderer  is  in  this 
house  ?  Do  yon  wish  to  see  her  T'  Detective 
Zundt  teslifleii  that  when  he  began  his  Investiga- 
tions the  father  of  the  murdered  man  said  to  him, 
"  For  plod's  sake  arrest  Mrs.  Gunser !  You  will  then 
have  the  murderer."  The  old  man  also  said  bis 
dau«htor-ln-law  was  a  bad  woman,  who  was  intimate 
with  other  men  than  lier  husband. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  testimony  the  counsel  for 
George  Michel  moved  for  his  discharge  on  the  ground 
that  no  evidence  had  been  adduced  against  him.  The 
motion  was  denied,  and  the  prisoner  was  fully  com- 
mitted for  the  action  of  the  Grand  Jury.  A  motion 
for  the  discharge  of  Adam  Martin,  who  is  charged 
with  'perjury  in  the  case,  was  also  denied, 
and  his  examination  wan  set  down  for  Sat- 
urday next.  The  testimony  of  Georee  Michel 
having  increased  the  suspicions  against  Jacob  Eisle, 
he  was  for  a  second  time  arrested  on  a  charge  of  mur- 
der. Mrs.  Gunser  was  also  arrested  on  the  same 
charge.  Upon  being  apprehended  she  became  tear- 
ful and  said :  "  I  did  not  kill  him.  I  am  not  guilty.  I 
wish  I  hod  my  hushand.  He  wn.<«  good  to  me  and  to 
miy  children.'  ASlien  she  had  been  quieted  she 
said  :  "  I  do  not  care.  I  know  it  is  all  right ;  it  will 
all  come  out  right."  Her  step-son,  August  Gunser, 
add  serrant,  Lizzie  Schmidt,  were  also  arrt>sted  and 
hild  as  witnesses.  The  prisoners  were  placed  in 
separate  cells  in  the  County  .fail,  and  no  persons  but 
officials  are  to  be  allowed  to  communicate  with  them. 
Tho  examination  in  the  case  of  Mrs.  Gunser  will  take

TRAGEDY  IN  AN  ENGLISH  RAILWAY  CAR. 

The  London  Times  of  July  24  says  :  *'  Yes- 
terday a  terrible  scene  occurred  in  one  of  the  car- 
riages of  the  up  Scotch  express  on  the  Midland  Hail- 
way  just  before  the  arrival  of  the  train  at  Bedford 
Sta^on,  which  It  is  timed  to  reach  at  6:41  A.  M.  A 
pauper  ftinatic,  named  Richard  Donnelly,  about  5 
feet  6  laches  in  height,  and  of  considerable  muscular 
strength,  was  being  conveyed  from  Gla.sgow  to  his 
place  of  settlement,  St.  Luke's,  London,  in  charge  of 
Mr.  Charles  N.  Lang,  workhouse  master  of  the  for- 
mer place.  It  appears  that  when  nearin(i  Bedford 
the  lunatic  suddenly  attacked  Mr.  Lang  with  a  razor, 
OS  the  master  was  in  the  act  of  reading  a,  newspajicr, 
both  men  being  at  the  time  the  sole  oc4-upants  of  the 
carriage.  Mr.  Lang  Immediately  warded  off  the  at- 
tack with  his  riEht  hand,  but  tlua  a.s.s.iult  was  so  sud- 
den that  in  uie  endeavor  to  close  with  the  mad- 
man ho  received  a  gash  acros.s  ^  one  ear, 
and  also  across  the  hand  between  tiie 
thtmib  and  forefinger,  from  which  the  blood 
'spurted  around.  He  then  closed  with  hie  assailant, 
whom  he  overpowered,  not,  however,  before  his  coat 
collar  and  back  portion  around  his  waist  hod  been  cut 
with  the  razor,  the  thickness  of  the  material  fortu- 
nately preserving  him  from  further  wounds.  The 
lunatic  now,  finding  himself  foiled,  suddenly  drew 
the  blade  across  his  own  throat,  which  he  severed  in 
a  most  frightful  manner  from  oar  to  ear,  failing  im- 
mediately to  the  floor  in  a  pool  of  blood.  The  train 
had  now  entered  the  station,  where  the  officii  took 
prompt  steps  to  secure  medical  aid.  Mr.  .Sharpin, 
snrKeott,  was  speedily  in  attendance,  but  the  madman 
haadiad  in  the  railway  carriage,  which  was  all  bo- 
smeared  with  blood.  The  car  was  at  once  detached 
from  the  train,  and  the  body  of  the  deceased  was 
then  remorved  to  Mr.  Derhysoire's,  the  Railway  Hot^ 
just  ontsfde  the  station-ywd,  where  Mr.  Luig  was 
also  c«re(B3hr  attaado^  ta~  and  where  he  k  now  under

the  occasion  of  the  application  made  by  the  widow  of 
the  recently  assassinated  Mr.  Youair  for  compensa- 
tion under  the  Peace  Preservation  Act.  Before  tbe

by  the  stewai-d  iu  Mr.  Yomij's  avenue,  and  on  !)eiuj{. 
questioned  said  he  had  mistaken  his  way.  When  he 
had  move^i  ofif  some  dist.in'^e  he  altered  his  costnnie. 
On  the  tlay  bei'ore  the  murdi-r  :t  young  man  "was  seen

be  seen  speaking  to  the  Police,  and  the  steward  of 
Mr.  Young  hji.s  been  waru'id  that  his  life  is  in  dan-

THE  DEFEATED  RUSSIANS  FROM  PLEVNA. 

London,  Aug.  6^ — The  Standard's  Bu- 
charest dispatch  reports  that  a  Turkish  division 
from  Lovatz  has  occupied  Selvi  unopposed. 
The  Turks  at  Plevna  have  received  a  reinforce- 
ment of  4,000' Albanian  cavalry. 

The  Times'  Bucharest  correspondent  repeats 
the  report  of  the  occupation  of  Selvi  by  the 
Turks,  and  adds  that  the  Russian  forces  are  be- 
tween Selvi  and  Timova,  holding  strong  de- 
fensive positions.  Gen.  Gonrkho  is  charged  witli 
the  duty  of  protecting  the  southern  outlets  of 
the  Balkan  passes. 

The  DaUt/  yews'  Vienna  correspondent  sends 
the  following :  "  Strategically,  the  most 
important  news  from  the  seat  of  war  is 
the  occupation  of  Selvi.  This  exposes  Tir- 
nova  and  the  passes.  Gen.  Gonrkho's  corps 
is  said  to  be  short  of  provisions  and  am- 
munition. Rustchuk  is  no  longer  invested 
from  the  land  side,  and  communication  with 
Shumla  opened  yesterday.  Gen.  Gourkho  has 
aent  word  to  Timova  that  his  forces  are 
too  scattered  to  protect  the  Christians  in  various 
places  again.st  the  certainty  of  massacre.  Me- 
hemet  .\li  has  appointed  Raschid  Pasha  Chief 
of  Artillery  and  Blum  Pasha  commander  of 
Varna.     Both  are  Prussians. 

The  Manchester  Guardian's  Vienna  special 
announces  that  Suleiman  Pasha  occupied 
\t  -  Kazanlik  on  Sunday,  and  thereby  he  has  access 
■f  to  the  Schipka  and  I'riavna  Pa,sses: 

A  Times'  correspondent',  who -left  the  Russian 
camp  before  Plevna  on  Thurs<iay.  says  the  Rus- 
sian advance  guard  is  within  sis  miles  of  Plevna. 
The  main  body  occupies  a  strong  position  nine 
zniles  furthereast  on  a  range  of  hills  running 
nearly  north  and  south.  Strong  reinforcements 
have  already  reached  Gen.  Krudeuer's  corps, 
w-bich  is  able  to  resist  any  offensive  movement 
of  Osman  Pasha,  should  one  be  attempted, 
which  is  not  very  probable.  The  Rus.sian3 
have  suffered  a  disastrous  check,  but  that  is  all. 
Tbe  second  ponton  bridge  at  Simuitza  is  nearly 
completed,  and  will  be  ready  for  use  in  a  few 
days.    The  old  bridge  is  stUl  in  good  ordiT. 

A  Constantinople  dispatch  says  the  Porte 
has  made  public  the  following  intelli- 
gence: "Tbe  Russians  have  been  com- 
pletely defeated  at  Yeni-Saghra,  with 
considerable  loss,  including  two  gtins, 
a  large  qnaality  of  baggage  and  equipments. 
They  fled  in  disorder  toKainboghaz  Pass,  which 
is  occupied  by  Suleiman  Pasha,  wbo  pursued 
them  thither." 

The  Times'  correspondent  before  Plevna  writ- 
ing under  date  Aug.  2,  says :  •'  It  is  hardly 
probable  that  any  renewal  of  the  attack  will  be 
made  for  the  next  10  days,  as  tbe  Ru.ssians  need 
time  to  bring:  up  reinforcements. 

The  'Jjn'^fs'  Berlin  correspondent  telegraphs : 
''Consequent  upon  the  defeat  at  Plevna  the 
Czar  has  asked  the  Emperor  of  Austria  to  with- 
draw his  former  protest  against  the  Russians 
entering  Servia.  and.  conjointly  with  tbe  Ser- 
vians, operating  on  the  left  dank  of  the  Turks."

London,  Aug.  o. — The  first  movement  of 
the  Russians  toward  carrying  oat  that  plan  of 
the  campaign  heretofore  foreshadowed  as  the 
one  likely  to  be  selected  has  resulted  in  the  dis- 
aster of   Plevna.     The  purpose  of  the   Russian 
■  Generals  obviously  was  to  wheel   around  their 
right  and  left  wings  to  a  line  parallel  with  the 
Balkans,  taking  Tirnova  as  a  pivot,  and  thus 
force  Osman    Pasha   and    Mehemjt    All  back 
icross  the  mountains  on  their  respective  lines  of 
retreat.     This  accomplished,  and  Osman  Pasha 
and  Mehemet  All  prevented  from  effecting  a 
jonction   by  tne  forces  under  Gen.   Gourkho, 
which  were  meanwhile  to  establish  themselves 
south  of  the  Balkans,   the  Rus.sian  campaign 
-would  have  been  beyond  danger  of  failure  or 
serious  interruption.    The  promenade  across  tbe 
Danube  and  to  and  over  the  Balkans,  while  the 
Turks  remained  idle  in  their  camps  and  fort- 
resses, was  perhaps  sufficient  to  justify  the  idea 
of  the  Russians  that  they  had  only  to  advance 
to  insure  that  the  Turks  would   retreat.     It  was 
this  feeling  which  led  the  Russians  into  the 
fatal    ambush    of    Plevna    a    fortnight    ago, 
and  which  on  Tuesday  sent  an  inferior  force 
.  to  avenge  tliat  disaster  on  a  victoriotis  army  in 
fortified  positions.     The  result   is    that  all  is 
chaos  again,  as  far  as  our  knowledge  of  the  sit- 
luttion  is  concerned,  and  that  news  dispatches 
&Dm  the  front  are  full  of  panicky  or  exaggera- 
ted rumors,  dictated  by  the  hopes  or  fears  of 
either  side,  but  the  salient  fact  is  unquestioned 
that   the   Russians    hava   been   checked,  and 
their   campaign   cannot    make    any  progress 
nnta  they     have       shaken      off-    Mehemet 
All    and    Osman    Pasha   from    their    flanks. 
Meanwhile,     Gourkho's    task    south     of      the 
Balkans  is  rendered  more  and  more  serious  daily 
by  the  concentration  and  organization  of   Stuei- 
man  Pasha's  forces.    The  Roumanian   Railway 
is  monopolized  by   the   dispatch   of   reinforce- 
ments from  the  camp  of  reserves  at  Kischeneff. 
It  is  alleged  that  the  Dobrudscha  will  be  almost 
wholly  evacuated,  and  Zimmerman's  corps  will 
return  via  Sistova  to   the    central   army.    The 
Czar  has  decreed  fresh  levies   at   home,    all   of 
which  means  that  the  military    promenade    has 
been       turned       into      an      affair      of      life 
or    death     for      the      Russians,      and      that 
the  Turks  will  be  crushed  if  there  is  power  in 
Russia  to  crush  them. 
The  Turkish  plan  is  believed  to  be  for  Osman 
'     Pasha  to  light  his  way  eastward,  and  Mehemet 
Ali  to  advance  westward  upon  Timova,   while 
Suleiman  Pasha  endeavoni  to    force    the    Rus- 
sian position  at  Kazanlik  ;  but,  in  doing   this, 
Osman  Pasha  must  expose  his  left  flank  to  the 
risk  of  being  turned   from   the    direction   of 
Nikopolis,  thus  facilitating  the  Russian  plan  of 
pivoting  on  Timova,  and  forcing  him  to  retire 
behind  the  Balkans.    Mehemet    Ali  would  in- 
cur the  same  danger  from  the  Russians  between 
Bustcbuk  and  liasgrad,  while  Suleiman  Pasha 
must     attack     the      Russians    in     positions 
if     their       own      choice.       The      supposed 
I'urkish       plan       does       not       look       very 
promising  unless  the  Rvissians  aid  it  by  mis- 
^kes    like  those  at  Plevna,  but  it  may  with 
skillful  handling  serve  to  keep  the  Russians  in 
check  imtil  the  camptugning  season  is  over, 
which  would  be  for  tbe  Turks  the  next  thing  to 
absolute  \-ictory.     Both  Russia  and  Turkey  are 
submitting  to  a  terrible  strain  on  their  resources 
to  win  a  decisive  advantage  in  this  campaign. 
Meantime,  it  would  seem  from  apparently  well 
authenticated  reports  of  outrage,  murder,  and 
rapine  by  tho  Bashi-Bazouks,  Bulgarians,  and 
Cossacks  that  the  war  is  fast  assuming  a  charac- 
ter of  sayage  cruelty,  which  threateiis  to  make 
it  a  war  of  extermination  for  all  tbe  inhabitants 
of  the  territory  involved,  whether  Christian  or 
Mohammedan.  „      ,  . 

In  Asia  the  intention  of  the  Russians  to  ad- 
vance from  Ardaban,  as  reported  last  week,  is 


same  time  another  division  is  marching  to 
Ardanusch,  which  commands  the  road  fiom 
Batoum  to  Olti.  A  third  column  of  apparently 
.fresh  forces  is  occupying  the  line  of  the  Adjar* 
River,  south  of  Batoum.  This  points  jto 
an  evident  intention  to  advance,  possibly  6n 
Erzeroum,  or  to  carry  out  a  wide  sweeping  flank 
and  rear  movement  on  Mukbtar  Pasha's  Ariiy 
before  Kars,  which  will  .be  covered  by  attacks;  in 
front,  conducted  by  MelikofTs  forces  at  Kurnk- 
dara,  supported  by  Gen.  Tcrgukassoff,  who  is 
believed  to  be  somewhere  on  the  River 
Araxes,  south  of  Kars.  The  latter  plan  is 
more  probable  than  an'  advance  on  Erze- 
roum, if  indeed  the  whole  movement  on 
Olti  is  not  a  feint  to  distract  Mukhtar  Pasha's 
attention  from  what  is  going  on  in  front ;  biit, 
as  the  feint  might  be  converted  into  a  real  at- 
tack, Mukhtar  Pasha  cannot  afford  to  ignore  it. 
He  will,  therefore,  be  forced  to  detach  a  con- 
siderable number  of  men  from  the  main  army 
to  guard  the  base  of  the  triangle  formed  by  Ar- 
dahan.  Ears,  and  Olti,  whUe  the  Russians  are 
able  to  direct  their  operations  from  the  apex, 
Ardahan,  against  any  poriion  of  the  base,  and, 
assisted  by  Gen.  Tergukassoff,  cut  Muhktar 
Pasha's  communication  with  Erzeroum,  aJnd 
force  him  to  fall  back  upon  or  into  Kars. 

Telegrams  from  Constantinople  report  that  a 
portion  of  the  Turkish  Batoum  Army  is  ejn- 
barkingfor  Varna  to  reinforce  Meheinet  Ali, 
so  that  the  Porte  must  feel  sufficient  confidence 
in  the  strength  of  Mukhtar  Pasha's  central  col- 
umn and  positions  to  throw  upon  it  the  entire 
burden  of  resisting  MelikofTs  second  invasion.

From  Our  Own  CorrrsponitenL 
Shumla.  Friday,  July  13,  1877 — Evening. 
The  Russian  forces  which  crossed  more 
than  a  fortnight  ago  are  believed  to  be  swelled 
to  an  aggrpsete  of  about  00,000  men.  A  few 
days  ago  it  seemed  a?  if  this  force  was  meant  to 
operate  on  the  line  of  the  Danube ;  many 
thought  that  Rustcbuk  itself  was  to  be  threat- 
ened from  the  direction  of  Biela.  But  if  there 
is  any  truth  in  the  latest  accounts,  I  hear  the' 
Russians  are  sbont  to  play  a  far  different  game. 
I  am  told  that  so  far  from  meaning  to  advance 
on  Rustcbuk.  the  Russian  Army  on  the  Upper 
Danube,  as  T  may  call  thetn^  have  blown  up  the 
bridge  acxoss  the  Yantra  at  Biela,  to  prevent  it 
being  made  use  of  by  the  Turks,  and  that  would 
make  it  appear  as  if  to  reach  Sophia  were  the 
great  aim  of  the  Army  of  the  Upper  Danube. 
Tbe  Russians  probably  think  that  by  sending 
troops  from  the  Dobrudscha  to  co-operate  with 
a  force  to  be  sent  across  at  or  near  Tutrakan, 
they  can  meantime  keep  the  forces  of  the 
quadrilateral  in  check.  1  hear  that  powerful 
forces  are  being  sent  to  check  the  ad- 
vance of  the  Russians  toward  the  Balkan 
pas-ses,  but  the  "regulations"  forbid  the 
mentioning  of  any  particulars  which  would  bt 
made  use  of  by  the  "enemy."  I  beUfeve  Cos- 
sacks have  been  seen  in  considerable  numbers 
near  Rasgrad,  and  it  is  questionable  whether 
any  train  will  go  further  than  Shoitanjik,  near 
Shumla.  on  the  road  toward  Rustcbuk  to-mor- 
row. Things  are  getting  very  warm,  but  tbe 
Turks  behave  very  coolly.  Those  very  skeptical 
people  who  scout  tbe  idea  that  there  is  any 
soMarite  between  the  Mussulman  of  the  far 
Ea-st  and  those  of  Constantinople  and  the  West 
should  have  seen  a  little  ceremony  that  took 
place  here  at  Shumla  to-day.  '  Tbe  Mussulmans 
of  India  have  recently  -subscribed  10,000  liras 
(the  Turkish  lira  is  equivalent  to  181^  shil- 
lings) for  the  benefit  of  the  soldiers  engaged 
here  in  tbe  war  which  all  Mohammedans  believe 
to  be  holy.  To-day  Mamyk  Pasha — a  fine  old 
man.  who  was  'Serdar  Ekrera  {or  Commander 
in  Chief)  so  long  ago  as  1858,  and  who  has 
also  been  Amba-ssador  to  England— personally 
distributed  a  portion  of  the  money  to  the  sol- 
diers here  lyins:  in  hospital.  Bags  full  of  silver 
rupees  bearing  tbe  image  and  superscription, 
not  of  Abdul  Hamid,  but  of  the  other  great 
ruler  of  Jlohammedans,  the  Queen  of  Eng- 
land and  Empress  of  India,  were  borne  by  the 
attendants  behind  the  veteran  soldier  and 
statesman,  who,  so  long  as  his  strength  lasted, 
distributed  with  his  own  hand  the  money  which 
had  been  subscribed  for  the  sick  soldiers  by 
their  far  distant  coreligionists.  The  old  man 
gave  many  words  of  kindly  advice,  and  he  in- 
sisted that  a  rule  which  obtains  in  the  Turkish 
hospitals — that  money,  &c,,  belonging  to  the 
sick  shall  be  taken  from  them,  to  be  returned 
when  they  leave  the  hospital— should  in  this  case 
be  broken.  The  men  seemed  much  gratifled,;by 
the  kindness  of  the  Pasha  and  their  Indian  friends. 
Mr.  Harrington  Kennett  accompanied  the  Pasha 
on  his  tour  of  inspection  at  the  Pasha's  special 
request. 

In  my  last  letter  from  Rustcbuk  I  had  occa- 
sion to  mention  a  very  severe  thunder-storm 
which  took  place  on  the  night  of  the  Otb  Inst. 
Many  thousands  of  poor  Turkish  and  Russian 
soldiers  must  have  been  drenched  to  the  skin 
by  that  very  severe  outburst  of  the  elements, 
and  certain  newspaper  correspondents  have 
since  been  saying  that  to  be  under  water  is 
worse  than  to  be  under  fire.  But  it  is  a  bad 
storm  that  brings  nobody  good.  On  the  night 
in  question  a  great  many  Russian  cavalry  horses 
were  picketed  between  Monaster  and 
Biela.  Terrified  by  the  thunder  and  light- 
ning, they  broke  loose  by  hundreds.  Learning 
this,  the  Turkish  Circassians,  in  their  keen 
instinct  for  booty,  made  as\toop  upon  the  steeds 
and  brought  230  of  theni^  into  the  Turkish 
camp — a  welcome  prize,  well  won. 

While  writing  my  last  paragraph  I  was  called 
away  to  see  a  little  pile  of  telegrams  which  had 
been  received  up  to  this  afternoon,  regarding 
the  atrocities  which  the  Russians  are  perpe- 
trating during  their  advance  in  Bulgaria.  Two 
hundred  persons,  a  great  portion  of  them  wom- 
en and  children,  while  flying  in  their  Arabas 
(wagons  or  carriages)  for  the  village  of  Tchairlu, 
in  the  Rasgrad  district,  were  set  npOn  by  the 
Russians  and  put  to  the  sword.  Twenty-one 
persons,  11  of  them  women,  were  murdered  by 
the  Ru.ssians  at  Kara  Tchoumak,  near  Tir^ 
nova.  In  fact,  a  very  reign  of  terror  is  re- 
ported from  the  borders  of  the  districts  which  the 
Muscovites  have  occupied,- and  the  Russians  are 
coming  alarmingly  near  even  to  strong  places 
like  Rustchuk.  'The  -Turks  admit  that  they 
have  occupied  the  villages  of  Ostrantcho  and 
Coslovo,  within  four  hours  of  Rustchuk. 
From  these  places  fearful  scenes  are  reported. 
The  women  were  outraged,  and  even  helpless 
children  were  cruelly  massacred.  Of  course 
it  ought  to  be  borne  in  mind  that  these  reports 
come  through  Turkish  sources.  But  the  Turks 
themselves  believe  them,  and  I  have  hitherto 
seen  little  or  no  desire  on  the  part  of  the  Turk- 
ish authorities  to  palm  off  upon  correspondents 
sensational  or  exaggerated  stories. 

Before  closing,  a  word  may  be  said  in  season 
as  to  the  mistaken  Ideas  which  are  cherished  by 
many  Englishmen  and  others  who  come  over 
here  to  enter  the  Turkish  service.  Many  of 
these  young  men — and  other  men  not  so  young 

appear  to  regMd  the  Turk  as  merely  a  corpus 

vile — a  subject  provided  that  they  may  experi- 
ment thereupon.  One  such  gentleman — h©  was 
in  the  medical  service — I  met  the  other  day.  He 
was  all  fire  and  fury  because  he  had  been  or- 
dered to  a  part  of  the  country  which  he  did  not 
like — or  from  which  it  might  be  difficult  to  send 
off  newspaper  letters.  He  even  went  so  far  as 
to  remonstrate  with  the  Commander-in-Chief, 
and  received  the  eminently  satisfactory  reply 
that  he  must  obey  his  superiors'  orders  or  throw 
up  his  commission.  Another  casA  is  just  re- 
ported, in  which  the  Turk,  to  say  the  least  of  it, 


shows  to  advantage  as  compared  with  the  Eng- 


'.^avj, — a  naian  who  is,  I  am  told,  peculiarly 
well  skilled  In  a  very  interesting  de- 
partment of  naval  warfare— quite  recently 
joined  the  Turkish  Navy  with  a  Captain's  rank 
and  a  salary  of  £400  to  £500  a  year,  to  be  paid 
In  gold.    A  newspaper  agent  requested  him  to 

yrite  letteiis,    Capt  (I  do  not  give  the 

name,  for  |  It  is  ungracious  to  make  such 
affairs  more  public  than  need  be,)  agreed,  and 
directly  he  joined  his  ship,  penned  a  furious  let- 
ter in  regard  to  the  mismanagement  which 
within  a  few  hours  he  had  discovered.  Among 
bther  complaints  he  made,  was  that  it  was 
impossible  to  the  unpractlced  eye  to  dis^nguish 
the'cook  from  the  Admiral.  Capt. ,  how- 
ever, did  le*m  how  to  differentiate  between  the 
itwo.  He  \las  not  aware  that  hjs  letter  had  to 
pass  through  the  Admiral's  hands  till  called 
upon  the  morning  after  it  had  been  given  in. 
jwben  confronted  with  the  precious  epistle  he 
was  mnte,  ind  was  forthwith  sent  back  to  Con- 
stantinople |  and  dismissed  the  service — a  very 
inild  punishment,  indeed,  according  the  military 
rules  m  such  cases. 

Shumla  Road  Station,  July  13—10  P.  JI. 
I  Having  come  here  to  make  sure  of  getting  my 
^tter  off,  I  ifind  everything  in  confusion.  The 
railway  line  has  been  abandoned  as  far  as  Ras- 
prad.  The:  few  carriages  going  toward  Varna 
are  crowdei^  with  Turkish  women  and  children. 
(Mr.  Harrington  Kennett,  the  Porte's  Special  Com- 
jmissioner  fbr  the  distribution  of  the  Stafford 
House  fund,  is  fain,  after  ser^-ing  .the  sic'i 
isoldiers  h4re  with  coffee  and  lemonade,  to 
sleep  in  a  jlumber-wsgon.  The  Turks,  not  to 
put  too  fine  a  point  upon  it,  seem  inclined  to 
abandon  the  country.  Of  course,  I  speak 
of  the  civiljpopulation.  It  is  certainly  a  very  bad 
step  when  Sir.  Harrower,  manager  of  the  line, 
and  a  ve^  plucky  gentleman,  leaves  Tchema- 
voda  for  Rasgrad,  en  route  for  Sheitanjik.  Tho 
Turks  are  still  hturying  down  soldiers,  and  a 
great  battlip  may  come  off  near  Rustcbiik  very 
soon.  It  isL  however,  qtiestionable  whether  the 
Russian  preparations  on  tbe  Lower  Danube  are 
yet  complete. ^^^

COSSACK  OUTRAGES^THE  POLISH  LEGION 
DISSA'TISPIED  WITH  THEIR  TREATMENT — 
RUSSIAN  AND  POLISH  MANIFESTOES — A 
PANIC  CAUSED  BY  THE  APPROACH  OP  THE 
BUSSly.NS. 

Fynm  Our  Ovm  Corrfsponffent 
V.iRNA,  Wednesday,  July  11,  1877. 
The  Eg^tians  are  exceedingly  well  be- 
haved— theiy  are  very  orderly  people — and  so 
long  as  Varna  and  its  ^ell-being  are  intrusted 
to  their  care,  all  will  go  on  well.  If  no  other 
element  presents  itself— that  is  a  proviso  I  mu.st 
always  putlin.  Should  a  desperate  onslaught 
of  BasIii-Bazouk.s  occur,  the  Egj-ptians  will  still 


keep  their 


peaceftU   character,    and  tbe  town 


would  suffer  ;  they  are  powerless  to  prevent  or 
to  do  harm — carpet  soldiers  every  one  of  them, 
from  commandant  to  full  private.  There  are  a 
good  manv  European  officers  on  tbe  Prince's 
staff — ^long-mustacbed,  fierce-looking  fellows. 
But  in  case  of  active  operations  I  believe  only 
the  native  officers  would  be  engaged,  the  best 
remaining  bn  the  staff.  Prince  Hassan  lives 
under  canvas  until  a  suitable  bouse  can  be 
found  for  him.  I  don't  think  he  will  get  one, 
unless  he  makes  up  his  mind  to  rough  it  some- 
what. As  for  finding  a  bouse  large  enough  to 
give  a  dinner  party  in,  th,ere  are  only  two  or 
three,  and  their  tenants  would  be 
very  happy  to  vacate  for  a  consideration 
of  something  like  £70  per  month — normal 
price  for  same  dwellings  being  under  £50 
iper  year.  One  must  remember,  however,  that 
Egyptian  Princes  are  supposed  to  be  rich,  and 
the  most'  13  to  be  made  out  of  the  one  wbo 
graces  Vama  with  bis  presence  now.  This 
evening  two  new  pha.ses  of  news  :  A  report 
comes  from  Vetova,  the  second  station  on  the 
railway  from  Rustcbtik,  brought  in  by  Circas- 
sians, to  the  effect  that  at  five  hours'  distance 
from  that  station,  in  the  direction  of  Turtukai, 
they  have  engaged  and  driven  back  several 
iCossack  vedettes.  This  is  |rather  a  gloomy  look- 
put  for  the  railway  if  triie,  as  reconnoitring ' 
iparties  are  'always  the  forerunners  of  something 
more  serious.  Another  report  describes  tbe 
Cossacks  in   the  neighborhood  of  Sistova    as 

Javlng  crossed  the  Jantra  and  massacred  the 
urkish  villagers.  I  believe  this  thoroughly, 
'the  Cossack  is  blacker  than  it  wotild  ever  be 
possible  to ;  paint  him,  and  itis  surprising  the 
(tzar  should  have  sent  them  to  the  front.  They 
will  cause  him  infinitely  more  trouble  than  the 
Bashi-Bazouks  have  caused  to  the  Turk.s.  A 
young  Russian  prisoner,  captured  at  Sistova, 
describes  his  army  as  being  different  from  what 
Russian  organs  would  lead  one  to  believe.  His 
rifle,  a  miserable  arm,  roughly  converted  to  the 
Snider  system,  was  sold  here  for  30 
shillings  by  a  wounded  Turk,  and  very 
I  dear  it  was  at  the  price.  Weighing  13  pounds, 
,  it  required  a  very  strong  man  to  use  it  at  alL 
A  detachment  of  the  Polish  Legion  has  arrived 
here,  and  1>een  forwardea  on  to  Shumla.  These 
men — mostly  English,  French,  and  German  ad- 
venturers, i(very  few  Poles) — ^have  created  quite 
a 'sensation  with  their  showy  uniform,  a  lancer's 
dress  of  dark  blue  cloth  with  bright  red  facings, 
'They  are  already  l>eginning  to  be  dissatisfied,  I 

Iear,  for  two  reasons :  First,  their  inner  man 
oes  not  .receive  that  attention  they  expected ; 
instead  of  punping  out  jollily  on  beefsteaks  and 
wine  ad  libitum,  they  have  to  content  themselves 
with  the  usual  ration  of  rice  and  occasionally  a 
little  mutton,  as  served  out  to  the  ordinary 
^  Turkish  soldier,  and  for  fine  gentlemen  in  bril- 
^ant  uniforms  this  homely  fare,  does  not  go 
down.  Secondly,  the  Generalissimo  does  not 
allot  them  that  prominent  position  which  they 
hoped  for;!  and  this  is  imtural,  as  they  are  very 
few  in  number — about  300 — and  besides,  could 
any  one  regsonably  expect  Abdul  Kerim  Pasha 
to  believe  Istrangers  bettex\  than  his  own  men  ? 
Ceitainly'not.  From  the  Very  first  tho  Polish 
leaders  have  fought  shy^of  this  movement. 
Langiewiez,  quietly  pursuing  his  occupation 
as  a  book-keeper  in  Constantinople,  and  others 
like  him,  dp  not  consider  the  opportune  moment 
arrived.  Pislr  Judgment  is  a  -wise  one.  Up  to 
now  few  have  flocked  to  the  standard.  The 
key-note  b^gle  has  loudly  sounded,  but  the  true 
ring — ^the  call  to  arms — has  'not  gone  forth.  Let 
I  Langiewiez  raise  his  voice  and  thousands  will 
'  respond  enthusiastically  to  his  call.  This  great 
'warrior,  exiled  and  earning  his  daily  bread  as  a 
clerk  or  book-keeper,  is  as  well  known  as  house- 
hold words  in  England.  I  remember  well  the 
portrait  of  jthls  brave  patriot  figuring  In  the  II- 
hutrated  London  News  and  the  stories  of  his 
valor  ■with  jhis  band  of  men  armed  with  scythes 
inly;  the^iopes  England  held  oat  to  him,  cer- 
tainly indirectly,  if  not  directly ;  hopes  dashed 
to  the  earth,  to  the  ground,  to  be  renewed  not 
now,  because  Langiewiez  is  not  ready ;  his  time 
will  come  when  the  horizon  is  somewhat 
clearer.  This  time  is  coining  soon.  The  thorns 
ready  to  pierce  the  sides  of  Russia  -will  do 
their  irorkt  and  the  coining  rising  of  the  op- 
preiaed  IshsUtants  of  Russia  will  resound  far 
and  wide,  A  good  many  Kihilists,  supposed  by 
the  Muscovites  to  be  freezing  out  in  Siberia,  are 
doing  good  work  out  here,  and  it  will  be  a  sorry 
day  indeed  for  the  Czar  and  his  people  when 
right  overcomes  'might  —  a  time  slowly 
creeping  on  the  heels  of  the.  arch  plot- 
ter. This  evening  the  Russians  are  reported 
to  he  in  Timova,  or,  as  I  am  inclined  to  be- 
lieve, in  the  near  neighborhood.  They  are  cer- 
tainly playing  high  stakes,  and  tlte  outcome  is 
diificult  tO[  guess  at.  We  shall  see  before  long. 
The  Poles  ^ave  pnblished  a  manifesto,  a  rather 
loudly  worded  one,  calling  on  their  Russian 
bntfaien  to  rise,  but  I  oannot  think  it  'wHI  have 


Poles  hajre  been  divided  against  each  other,  and 
certainly  atthepresentmomenttheyare  not  pull- 
ing together.  'The  Emperor  of  all  the  Russias  has 
also  published  a  manifesto,  addressed  to  the  Bul- 
garians. !  It  is  the  same  manifesto  I  wrote  you 
.about  some  time  ago.  It  was  concocted  in 
Bucharest — concoctedwhen  Czar  Alexander  was 
loudly  calling  Europe's  attention  to  the  olive 
branch  he  was  vauntiig  on  his  breast.  It  also 
will  be  doomed  to  a  somewhat  cool  reception, 
for  the  Emperor's  Bulgarians,  an.xious  as  they 
are  for  his  comings  are  not  at  all  disposed  to 
assist  actively ;  their  plan  is  to  eet  out  or  danger 
as  far  as  possible,  and  come  in  with  the  winners. 
The  Bishop  of  Manchester,  I  am  happy  to 
see,  is  Ifighting  in  my  ranks,  or  I  in  his, 
and  as  his  lordship's  voice  is  all  power- 
ful in  I  the  north,  I  hope  he  will  use  it, 
unflaggihgly  until  his  followers  are  manifold. 
One  is  subject  to  being  characterized  as  a  softy 
if  he  has  the  courage  to  cry  peace,  and  some- 
times rather  rough  u-sage  is  his  only  recompense. 
I  have  ia  lot  of  pieces  of  shell  before  me  as  I 
write,  although  the  bloodstains  are  now  washed 
off  theih ;  each  morsel  can  answer  for  its  broken 
bead  or  torn  limb  twisted' by  the  force  of  explo- 
sion into  all  sorts  of  shapes.  These  death-deal- 
ing pieces,  with  their  .lagged  comers,  are  laid 
alongside  of  each  other,  and  one  wonders  at  the 
destruction  they  have  made.  Some  time  ago  the 
Archbikhop  of  York,  forgetting  his  priestly 
duties,  spoke  at  a  platform  meeting,  and  abso- 
lutely repommended  his  hearers  to  declare  for 
war  against  Turkey — that  is,  he  invited  his  syin- 
pathizers  to  assist  him  in  throwing  these  horrid 
morsels  of  molten  iron  upon  their  prey.  I  am 
sure  his  Grace  spoke  unthinkingly  in  those  days. 
He  can  liever  have  been  serious  in  what  he  said, 
and  I  am  sure  I  have  a  strong  innate  feeling 
that,  were  his  words  recallable,  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Ebor  would  wash  his  hands 
of  them.  Lord  Canning's  observation  was 
wise  :  '*  If  we  have  war,  let  us  have  it  as  late  as 
possible."  Sometimes  reflection  prevents  it,  and 
in  all  cases  a  little  thought,  a  wee  bit  of  com- 
mon sense  and  prudence  will  avoid  an  infinity 
of  mi.schief  and  bloodshed.  1  heard  a  story  to- 
day which  painsme  very  much.  I  don't  at  all 
like  tbe  idea  of  telling  you  tales  out  of  school, 
but  there  are  cei-tain  duties  which  exact  that 
personal  feelings  should  give  way  when  duty 
calls.  There  is  an  impression  abroad  in  tbe 
camp  at  Shumla  that  the  English  press  is  very 
badly  represented  there.  I  don't  mean  badly 
represented  so  far  as  our  writing  qualities  are 
concerned,  but  they  have  fallcu  into  tbe  habit 
of  nightly  orgies,  and  this  kind  of  thing  does 
not  go  down  with  the  Turks,  who  naturally  say 
that  men  to  be  respected  should  make  them- 
selves respected.  This  ts  a  delicate  matter,  and 
for  the  mothent  I  will  let  it  drop,  as  it  is  still  on 
tbe  cards.  An  improvement  tnay  take  place,  as 
tbe  faulty  ones  have  already  bad  intimation  to 
leave  the  camp  unless  such  is  tbe  case. 

Vakna,  July  12. 
Last  evening  late,  the  chief  ot  the  village 
of  VitoYaj  on  the  line  of  railway,  came 
in  to  say  the  Russians  were  at  three  hours'  dife- 
tance  from]  that  place.  This  moruing  tbe  Ras- 
grad Station  b<-gan  to  fill  with  refuget^s,  who  re- 
ported the  Rn.ssiuns  in  the  neigbboxhood.  Both 
these  stations  are  near  to  Turtukai,  and  my  sup- 
position is  that  the  Russians  have  merely  Cos- 
sack outposts  ;  anyhow  tlie  situation  appeared 
to  be  so  grave  that  at  ihidday  the  railway  au- 
thorities abandoned  their  bead-quarters  at 
Tcbemavoda,  taking  with  them  all  the  roll- 
ing stock  and  telegraphic  apparatus.  At  1:30 
Vitova  Underwent  the  same  operation,  and  con- 
sequently Ra-'grad  became  the  terminus  of  the 
railway— 69  kilometres  of  road  (44  miles)  are 
thus  for  the  moment  hors  de  servitor..  It  is  still 
possible  forithe  Turks,  however,  to  carr>-  on  the 
circulation,  j  for  it  would  be  an  easy  matter  to 
put  strong  inilitary  postsiall  along  the  line,  send 
a  train  up  to  a  few  miles  from  Rustchuk.  which 
would  returii  in  the:  evening  to  Rasgrad.  so  as 
not  to  leave  the  materials  In  threatened  places. 
It  is  tnieall  the  points  and  crossings  have  been 
taken  u^  at  the  abandoned  stations,  but  they 
have  beep  most  carefully  numV»er»>d.  ami  coiild 
tie  taken  back  with  the  train  and  roughly  put 
in  the  rjoad  so  as  to  allow  its  pas,sagp.  All  this 
is  supppsinjf  the  Ru.ssians  not  to  lie  in  great 
numoeis  iu  that  neighliorhood.  The  pe.isants 
from  the  villages  in  that  neijibborhood  report 
the  Tuiiks  as  being  in  a  state  of  great  exa.spera- 
tion,  and  the  Buljrarians  as  being  panic-.<*tricken. 
1  am  very  much  afraid,  indeed,  we  have  trouble 
in  store  "for  us.  The  Outrages  committed  by 
the  Cosisac'ks  on  the  Jantra  are  becoming  known 
in  tbe  interior,  and  it  Would  be  absurd  to  ex- 
pect the  pe<ijnl*^  not  to  retaliate.  In  Rustcbuk, 
where  the  English  Consul  has  returned,  all  is 
quiet.  'The|Zehe<iues  an-  conducting  themselves 
decently;  occasional  ca,ses  of  pilfering— not  pil- 
laging-|-are  idi.scovered,  and  what  is  more  satis- 
factory' thn!nall,.is  that  a  feeling  of  calm  per- 
vades the  I^pulation  in  tbe  neighborhood,  and 
unless,  'as  tjlie  Consul  says,  tbe  Cossacks  con- 
tinue their  foul  deeds  in  the  Sistova  district,  no 
massacres  ivill  occur.  'The  Circassians  did  a 
very  clever  thing  the  other  day  near  to  Sistova. 
Observing  the  Co.ssacks  conveying  sheep  and 
horses  fromj  that  place  toward '  Ijiela.  a  baud  of 
them  ^osaed  the  Jantra,  put  the  CossacKs 
to  flight,  and  brought  in  the  spoil  to 
Rustchuk.  It  consisted  of  3,000  sheep 
and  100  cjavalrv  horses — a  very  decent  day's 
work  fir  the  Circa-ssiahs,  as  the  Pa.sha  divided 
£1,50  ^moijig  them.  There  is  now  not  the 
slightest  doubt  the  Russians  are  near  to  Timova, 
and  Col.  Lennox  and  Capt.  Chromside,  the  mili- 
tary attaches,  are  off  up  there  in  a  hurrj-  to  see 
tbe  fighting,  and  we  shall  have  news  in  a  day 
or  two  froni  that  quarter.  Tbe  .\ustrian  post, 
as  usual,  in  any  case  of  difficulty,  has  collapsed 
since  the  Rustchuk  bombardment,  and.  instead 
of  having  a  well  organized  and  fleet  land  post, 
they  have  rio  post  at  alU  Commercially  and  po- 
litically this  is  an  immense  mistake,  but  it  a]« 
■ways  is  the;same  -with  the  needy  Austxian-s.  If 
they  have  a  Consul  in  any  town,  and  they  find 
the  revenu48  of  the  Consulate  do  not  cover  the 
expenses,  the  Consulate  is  abolished.  They 
look  at  everything  from  the  pounds,  shillings, 
and  peiice  point  of  view.  Prince  Hassan  still 
remains  heije  to  take  care  of  us,  but  the  inhab- 
itants are  sadly  afraid  of  a  Rur-sian  surprise.

TO  BE  VISITED  TO-DAY — SERIOUS  ASPECT 
QF  AFFAIRS  IN  THE  COAL  REGIONS — THE 
MINEitS  AT  ■WILKESBARRE  SULLEN  AND 
THREATENING. 

Special  DitpateJi  to  the  ^eio-Yorh  Times. 

Haekisburg,  Aug.  5.— Gov.  -  Hartranft, 
accompanied  by  Adjt.  Gen.  Latta,  Sec- 
retary of  the  Co mon wealth,  and  a  full  staff,,  ar- 
rived at  this  city  very  unexpectedly  this  even- 
ing at  5-o'clock.  The  party  occupied  a  special 
train  of  three  cars,  accompanied  by  a  detach- 
ment of  the  Nineteenth  Regiment,  of  Pittsburg, 
whose  special  care  was  the  baggage  oar  which 
belonged  to  the  party.  When  the  Governor 
left  Kingston,  where  he  had  been  since  Satur- 
day morning,  his  intention  was  to  remain  in 
this  city  till  a  late  hour  Monday  night,  and  then 
proceed  to  Pittsburg.  Upon  his  arrival  here  he 
changed  the  pro^amme,  and  the  train  will  de- 
part for  the  smoky  city  at  1  o'clock  to-morrow 
morning.  Immediately  after  his  arrival  here, 
tbe  Governor,  accompanied  by  his  staff,  visited 
tbe  arsenal  and  inspected  the  Fourth  Regi- 
ment, on  duty  there,  and  had  a  conference  with 
Gen.  Reeder,  who  is  in  command  of  the  troops. 
Exactly  what  is  behind  this  sudden  trip  of  the 
Governor  to  Pittsburg  cannot  be  positively  as- 
certained, but  your  correspondent  is  informed 
by  a  member  of  the  staff  that  one  of  the  ob- 
jects of  the  vLsit  is  a  personal  observation  of 
the  condition  of  things  in  and  about  that  city. 
The  Nineteenth  Regiment,  which  behaved  so 
badly  at  Pittsburg,  which  is  its  home,  has  be- 
haved well  in'  the  mining  regions,  and  in  a 
measure  redeemed  its  reputation.  Gen.  Pear- 
son is  doing  service  with  his  command  in  the 
ncinity  of  WUkesharre. 

Yesterday  morning  a  delegation  of  miners 
called  upon  Gov.  Hartranft  and  requested  him 
to  attend  a  meeting  of  miners,  railroad  men,  and 
other  working  men  at  Dana's  Woods,  near 
Kingston.  The  delegation  represented  that 
the  Sheriff  of  Luzerne  County  and  tbe 
Mayor  of  Wilkesbarre  would  be  present 
at  tbe  meeting.  Tbe  Governor  told  tbe 
delegation  that  he  was  there  not  as  an 
arbitrator  between  discontented  workmt.-n 
and  their  employers,  but  as  a  preserver  of  the 
peace,  and  that  he  would  preserve  tbe  peace 
at  all  hazards.  The  delegation  then  left,  iind  it 
was  .subsequently  learned  that  neither  of  the 
other  two  ollioials  were  at  tbe  meeting,  and  bad 
not  inleuded  to  be  present.  The  temper  of  tho 
minero  has  not  improved  during  the  past  two 
day.s.  They  are  cowed  by  tbe  presence  of  the 
Governor  and  the  troops,  but  by  no  means  con- 
quered. They  are  very  sullen,  and  threaten 
that  when  the  troops  are  withdrawn  they  will 
have  things  their  own  way  and  will  play  havoc. 
.\hout  midnight  last  night  Gen.  Brinton's  pick- 
ets were  fired  on  from  a  little  red  house  near  Ply- 
mouth. The  place  was  marked  and  tbe  inten- 
tion was  to  make  a  raid  on  t'ae  den  to-night  and 
clean  it  out.  Tlie  members  of  the  Governor's 
staff  with  whoni  your  correspondent  conversed 
expi-essed  tbe  opinion  that  tne  disc»rders  iu  tbe 
mining  regions  are  of  a  ver\-  serious  character, 
and  that  only  a  bold  front  and  harsh  measures 
will  prevent  a  bloody  outbreak.  That  such  a 
course  will  be  pur.sucd  these  who  know  Gov. 
Hartranft  need  not  be  informed.  Tbe  Gov- 
ernor has  for  severa.1  days  been  suffering  from 
indis;>osition.  but  is  now  fully  recovered. 

In  this  city  and  its  vicinity  all  is  quiet.  The 
arsenal  is  still  garrisoned  by  the  Fourth  Regi- 
ment, but  the  presence  of  troops  here  is  a 
measure  of  precaution  rather  than  necessit>-. 
The  Pennsylvania  Company  has  discharged  a 
number  of  engineers,  firemen,  and  brakenien — 
Those  who  took  an  active  part  in  the  troubles  at 
tills  place — and  it  is  said  there  are  others  who 
will  meet  a  similar  fate.  The  law  and  order 
pos.se  which  so  admirably  disposed  of  the  mob 
in  this  city  will  bold  an  excursion  and  picnic  on 
the  line  ofthe  Cumberland  Valley  Road  on  Friday 
next,  when  they  will  have  a  frolic,  af '.er  tbe 
anxiety  and  tunnoil  of  the  closing  days  of  July.

Wilkesbarre,  Penn.,  Aug.  .">. — This  has 
been  a  quiet  day  among  the  strikers,  there 
being  no  demonstration  of  anv  kind,  and  but 
few  strikers  swn.  Twelve  companies  of  United 
States  troops  arrived  here  this  forenoon,  in  com- 
mand of  Gen.  Wilson.  The.se  are  parts  of  the 
Thirteenth  and  Twenty-second  lnfantr\-.  aud 
number  400.  They  are  encamped  in  the  mar- 
ket-house, in  the  centriil  part  of  the  city. 
Col.  Bonnefant,  with  a  veteran  regiment  from 
Philadelphia,  is  encamped  near  the  ^  alley  Depot. 
Gen  Pierson's  head-quarters  are  now  at  King- 
ston. Gen.  Huidcnkoper  has  command  at 
Scranton.  The  United  States  troops  have  come 
;to  stay  until  tbe  trouble  is  over.  Tbe  miners 
are  determined  to  stand  for  an  increase  of  '2n 
per  cent.  'There  are  no  prospects  that  they  will 
give  in  for  a  long  time  to  come. 

Philadelphia,  Penn.,  Aug.  o.— The  First  Di- 
vi."ioq|pf  the  Pennsylvania  National  Guard  .struck 
tents  near  Scranton  on  Saturday  night,  and 
were  brought  to  this  city,  reaching  here  shortly 
after  S  o'clock  this  mominc.  They  came  by 
way  of  tho  Belvidere  and  Delaware  Railroad  to 
Trenton,  and  thence,  by  the  Pennsylvania  Rail- 
road, to  Philadelphia.  The  troops  came  in  four 
sections,  and  were  greeted  at  the  depot 
by  an  immense  crowd.  They  were 
treated  to  coffee  and  sandwiches  at  tbe  depot 
restaurant.  After  being  refreshed,  the  soldiers 
formed  a  line  and  marched  in  a  body  to  the  cor- 
ner of  Broad  and  Walnut  streets,  where  they 
were  reviewed  by  Major-Gen.  Hancock,  and 
afterward  dismissed.  Delegations  of  the  Grand 
Army  met  the  various  commands  and  accom- 
panied them  to  their  armories,  where  recep- 
tions wire  accorded  them  in  the  shape 
of  bountiful  repasts.  At  the  Fencible 
Head-quarters  Cant.  Ryan  and  Major-Gen.  Loud 
made  short  speeches.  While  the  Militia  were 
passing  tlie  Coloimade  Hotel,  Mamie  Crump, 
aged  11  years,  a  daughter  of  the  proprietor  of 
that  hotel  in  leaning  out  of  the  window  to  see 
the  soldiers,  lost  her  balance,  fell  to  the  pave- 
ment, and  was  instantly  killed.

TO  BAISE  THE  BLOCKADE — INSTRUC-

MILITARY  TO  BE  EMPLOYED  IF  NECES- 
SARY. 

Special  Diapaleh  to  the  iTew-Tork  .^^mea. 

Baltisiobe,  Md.,  Aug.  5. — Gov.  Garroll, 
at  the  solicitation  of  President  Gorman,  of  the 
Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  has  consented  to 
undertake  the  breaking  of  the  blockade  on  the 
canaL  The  boatmen,  who  for  two  months 
have  been  on  strike  against  the  coal  com- 
panies for  higher  rates  for  transportation, 
have  over  300  boats  drawn  up  in  the 
neighborhood  of  Hancock  and  Sir  John's  Runs, 
and  refuse  to  allow  any  boats  to  pass  either  way, 
except  in  rare  instances,  when  shippers  have 
paid  advance  figures  for  getting  small  amounts 
of  coal  to  the  seaboard.  Gorman  represented  to 
the  Governor  that  this  was  a  case  m  which  the 
State  was  entitled  to  act,  just  as  much 
as  when  the  railroad  strikers  interfered 
by  violence  to  stop  men  from  working 
and  hindered  the  operations  of  the  road,  and 
that  the  canal  should  be  cleared  as  the  railroad 
had  been,  even  if  it  was  necessary  to  caU  in  the 
aid  of  the  United  States.  Gov.  Carroll  acceeded 
to  this  view  of  the  situation,  and  promised  Mr. 
Gorman  that  the  canal  shall  be.  opened.  To- 
morrow he  "Will  issue  orders  '  to  the 
Sheriffs  of  the  various  counties  through 
which  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal 
nasses    to  itake     «t«B»    to     disperse  ^  thft 


i^K^-- 


boatmen  and  make  the  canal  free  to  all  traffic. 
If  the  Sheriffs  are  not  able  to  do  this  w^th  the 
force  at  their  disposal,  the  military  will  be 
called  to  execute  the  task.  For  this  purpose 
there  are  available  the  400  regulars, 
under  command  of  Gen.  Getty,  along 
the  line  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad 
and  the  canal,  and  reinforcements  of  regulars 
or  Militia  can  be  quickly  sent  from  Baltimore 
to  the  number  of  1,000  if  necessary. 
Marching  orders  have  been  issued  to  the  Sev- 
enth Regiment  of  Maryland  National  Guards, 
which  it  is  supposed  will  be  ordered  to  duty  on 
the  canal.  It  is  very  probable  that  the  troops 
will  be  needed  to  clear  the  canal  of  tbe  ob- 
structions. There  are  1,000  boatmen  in 
the  vicinity  of  Sir  John's  Run,  and  they  are  a 
rough,  determined  set  of  men,  who  are  not  like- 
ly to  give  way  befori  such  an  insignificant 
show  of  force  as  the  Sheriff's  pos  »e.  The  move- 
ment against  them  will  be  made  immediately.

Kev  West,  Fla.,  Aug.  5. — The  following 

news  bsfi  been  received  from  Havana  : 

The  last  Spanish  mail  brought  an  order  for 
the  release  of  the  persons  imprisoned  for  frauds 
in  the  inffndmria  miiitar.  'ibis  was  a  blow  in 
the  face  of  C.iptain-General  JovoH.ir.  and  ap- 
proves the  frauds  committed  under  th&  Valma- 
seda  and  Concha  adniini.strations.  Rumors  are 
current  that  Jovellar  will  n?sign  and  be  siicceed- 
ed  by  Gen.  Blanco. 

Gen.  Martinez  Campos  has  sent  dispatches  to 
the  King,  explaining  the  position  of  the  cam- 
paitrn.  and  stating  that  the  insurgents  are  so 
well  supplied  with  information  by  spies,  and 
their  facilities  for  disbanding  when  pursued  are 
s-.ich.that  it  takes  500  soldiers  to  look  after  10 
insurgents.  GeiL  Campos  therefore  requires 
."lO.OiiO  more  troops  to  crush  the  insurrection. 
Campos  further  says  the  insurgents  will  only 
surrender  on  receiving  their  independence,  and 
recommends  the  Spanish  Government  to  adopt 
one  proposition  or  the  other.  X  great  many 
sick  soldiers  have  arrived  at  Havana  from  the 
interior.

WASursGTOs,  Saturdaj-.  Au(c.  4,  1S77. 
None  of  the  executive  department  of  tht 
Government  have  been  more  thoroughly  re- 
formed and  more  systematicallj-  arranged  in^Ul 
the  details  of  bntaness  tlian  tbe  Xavy  I>epaT% 
ment.  When,  Secretary  Thompson  assumed 
charge  of  the  department  in  ilarch  last  ho 
found  a  system  of  organization,  not  proceeding 
from  a  central  responsibiliTy,  but  scattered 
among  the  several  bnreaus  into  which  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  Kai'v  Department  is  di- 
vided. Tbe  chief  of  each  of  these  bureaus  ia 
a  naval  officer  of  high  rank,  and  the  business 
of  each  was  conducted  without  reference  to, 
and  generally  in  utter  ignorance  of,  the  busi- 
ness of  the  others.  The  frequent  and  pro- 
tracted absence  of  the  former  Secretary  ren- 
dered it  difficult  If  not  impossible  for  him  to  be 
intelligently  informed  of  the^vast  amount  of 
important  detail  upon  which  he  was  reqtiired 
to  decide,  and  the  heads  of  bureaus  thus  prao- 
tically  became  absolute  in/iuthority.  really  de- 
cided all  questions  before  presenting  them  to 
the  Secretary,  and  merely  laid  their  decisions 
before  him  for  formal  appfroval.  It  was  m'ainly 
owing  to  this  loose  syst*:*m  of  administraiou. 
with  its  supervisory  po'VTers  scattered  over  [the 
department,  and  withoi;,t  competent  esecutive 
direction,  that  the  scaridals  cx>nnected  withth© 
Kavy  Department  for.  the  past  few  years  may  be 
properly  attribute, 

The  naval  officer  Is  naturally  an  autocrat,  and 
sometimes  a  petty  tyrant.  Tbese  characteris- 
tics are  developed!  according  to  his  rari^^nd 
years  of  sea  ser\'i  ce.  Trained  to  command,  he  is ' 
always  imperioris  to  those  under  him,  whethei 
his  subordinafjts  Vte  civil  or  military.  When  in 
command  of  a.  ship  bis  xrUl  is  law.  and  so.  ^fhen 
detailed  to  afuninister  a  bnreau  of  ihe  Xavy  De-- 
partment.  bo  will  naturally  absorb  all  power, 
unlfess  the  civilian  at  the  head  of  the  department 
at  once  nrakes  it  known  and  felt  that  he  alone  is 
Secretary  of  tbe  Navy,  and  wiH  not  share  its 
responsibilities  with  heads  of  bureau.*,  even  if 
ihey  h-'ive  tbe  rank  of  Commodores  and  Rear- 
Admirals.  Only  a  civilian  of  larger  mental 
faculties  and  strong  indi^^iduality  can  a.^siime 
diroction  of  the  Xavy  Department,  and  com- 
pletely maintain  himself  against  the  old  naval 
officers  who  surround  him,  and  upon  whose  co^ 
operation  he  must  necessarily  depend  for  a  sucr 
cessful  administration  of  tho  department.  In 
fact,  there  must  be  onlv- one  Secretary  of  the 
Xavy  or  there  will  be  a  full  dozen.  During 
Robeson's  administration  there  were  a  doreu 
Secretaries  de  facto  of  the  Xavy,  each  more 
potent  than  the  Secretary  de  jure,  and  Jlr. 
Robeson  will  know  it  for  tbe  first  time  when  he 
r^ads  this  letter.  Now  there  is  one  Secretary, 
who  is  de  jure  and  de  facto,  and  every  officer  of 
the  Navy  is  fully  impressed  with  this  fact. 

I  had  occasion  recently  to  visit  the  Xavy  He-  • 
partment  in  search  of  infonnation  ■  for  The 
Times,  and  could  not  fail  to  observe  the  marked 
changes  every  where  visible  in  the  methods  of 
administration  about  the  Secretary's  office.  An 
old  naval  officer,  head  of  a  bureau,  to  whom  1 
spoke  of  the  improvements  visible,  remarked  : 
••  Yes  :  every  one  familiar  "with  the  oJd  ordeT  of. 
things  makes  similar  observations.  How  do  T 
account  for  it  ?  That  is  simple  euou^ — Thomp- 
son is  Secretary  in  fact,  as  well  as  by  appoim^ 
ment  by  the  President,  and  we  have  learned,  in 
the  concluding  language  of  general  orders,  tha£ 
he  mu.*^  be  obeyed  and  resperted  accordingly. 
We  have  now  a  better  organization  than  ever 
before,  and  its  beneficial  result^  will  soon  bo 
seen  and  f'^lt  upon  the  Navy.  Every  burea,u  is' 
now  directed  with  an  aim  solely  to  promote  the 
strength  and  efficiency  of  tho  g-eneral  ser^re.  - 
and  there  is  a  harmony  in  the  entire  operations 
of  the  Department  that  has  not  been  known  for 
many  years.  Of  course,  you  newspaper  men, 
who  penetrate  everything,  observe  a  chancre. 
So  does  every  one  w^ho  has  been  in  rhe  babitj  of 
visiting  the  department.  TTp  to  July  1  we  have 
had  pretty  rough  sailing  and  very  little  lee- 
way, but  we  are  now  in  deep  water,  and  Secre- 
tary Thomnson  is  making  a  log  that  will  no? 
shame  him  nor  those  as'vociated  with  him  in  the 
administration  of  tbe  Navy  Department/' 

The  opinion  expressed  by  the  officer  abov^  | 
quoted  prevails  throughout  the  department,  j 
and  every  Chief  of  Bureau  feels  he  has  a  Su- 
perior officer  whose  vigilant  supervision T>eT- 
vades  the  entire  naval  service.  Passing  inv* 
the  Secretary's  room,  I  found  that  high  official 
discussing  with  Commodore  Shnfeldt,  Chief  ot 
the  Bureau  of  Equipment  and  Recruiting,  a  let-  : 
ter  written  to  a  PajTnaster  about  some  purchases 
made  in  open  market.  The  -Commodore  read 
the  letter  and  explained  the  business  of  it. 
*•  Put  in  the  words  '  maximum  price.'  **  said  the 
Secretary,  "  so  we  will  always  have  the  highest 
figures.  The  minimum  price  is  a  matter  of  lo- 
cality and  market  value."  "That  will  be  bet-- 
ter,"  .said  Commodore  Shufeldt,  as  he  departed 
to  make  the  alteration  suggested.  '•  Shufeldt 
is  a  faithful  officer,"  said  the  Secretary,  address- 
ing your  correspondent.  "The  matter  he  just 
presented  me  involved  a  question  of  $2  .50.  but 
there  is  a  principle  in  issue.-  Method  is  every- 
thing. The  method  by  which  $1  is  taken 
from  the  Treasury  wlU  serve  to  draw  from  it 
$100,000.'*  Here  was  at  once  an  example  and 
practical  .illustration  of  careful  management  and 
wise  administration.  In  reply  to  questions,  th-^ 
Secretary  explained  tbe  manner  and  methods 
of  his  organization,  the  conversation  being  oc- 
casionally enlivened  by  sallies  of  quiet  humor 
for  which  5Ir.  Thompson  is  noted,  and  illus- 
trated by  anecdotes  that  'added  force  and 
piquancy  to  the  narration. 

**  Yes,"  said  the  Secretary  in  reply  toqne»- 
tions,  '*  I  have  had  to  do  some  "hard  work  ia 
order  to  learn  the  business.  But  I  am  protty 
well  through  with  my  pupilage,  and  feol  that  I 
am  on  my  sea  legs,  as  we  say  in  the  Navy,*'  and 
the  Secr8^a^y  laughed  at  this  exhibition  of  nau- 
tical technicality.  **  I  had,"  he  continued,,  "to 
beep  running  from  stem  to  stern,  now  rush  be- 
low deck,  and  anon  fly  aloft,  in  order  to  make 
myself  fully  acquainted  with  what  had  been 
done  ia  the  past  ^d  what  should^  be  done  in. 
the  future ;  and  now,  having  mastered  the  busi- 
ness of  running  this  department,  it  will  not  be 
difficult  for  me  to  keep  things  dead  .to  rig^ht." 
As  he  leaned  back  in  his  chair,  and  puffed  & 
half  smoked  cigar,  *'01d  Dick,"  as  he  is  famili- 
arly called,  manifested  a  quiet  determliuition 
that  could  not  fail  to  convince  any  one  who 
coold  have  seen  him  at  that  moment  thax  he 
means  to  direct  the  affairs  of  the  Navy  withouc 
interference  fr&ra  the  outside  and  without  dio- 
tation  from  within.

heartily  Rt  the  recollection  of  -what  he  pr<lv^osed 
to  relate,  "when  I  was  appointed  Secretary 
of  the  Navy,  every  body  laughed.  It  was  reilly 
funny,  and  I  lai2ghed  mys^lfr  and  now  laughoit 
the  recollections  recalled.  '  Here,'  said  every 
hody,  '  is  Old  Dick  Thompsoin,  from  the  Wabash 
Elver,  who  never  saw  anythJ^ig  afloat  except  a 
raft  or  a  scow :  who  can't  tcU  the  difference 
between  a  ship's  flying  jibbomn  and  the  royal 
mlzrenmast,  made  Sacretary  ■  of  the  Navy.' 
No  wonder  the  people  langhed  at  the  jokes 
you  newspaper  people  cracked  over  my 
appointment.  Well,  I  thought  I  would  come 
here  and  study  navigation,  so  far  as  that  science 
1?  useful  in  directing  this  department;  I  went 
risht  to  the  liottom  of  things,  and  now  I  feel 
that  I  am  on  deck.  These  gentlemen  of  epau- 
lettes perhaps  imasrfned  that  they  would  run 
the  department.  They  don't  think  so  now. 
it.iw  do  I  manage!  E.'wy  enough.  1  have 
rieetings  twice  each  week  of  the  Ciiiefs  of  Bu- 
reaus. The  business  of  each  bureau  is  pre- 
sented at  these  meetings  and  discussed  in  de- 
tail. Evi'ry  member  of  the  Imard  is  expected 
to  express 'his  opinion  upon  all  matters  pre- 
.sonted.  and  these  opinirms  and  the  conclusions 
of  the  Im.ird .ire  ilnly  recorded.  Thus  the  Chief 
<'f  raoh  P.urc!;n  knows  what  is  being  done  in  all 
file  otht-rs,  and  how  and  why  it  is  Ijeing  done. 
This  enables  all  the  bureaus  to  work  harmoni- 
cusly  and  intelligently,  and  secures  honest  and 
ei'iiimmical  administration.  No  .serious  mistake 
can  CO  long  undiscovered  undter  this  system, 
lici-aii.'<e  the  progress  of  all  work  As  duly  reported 
twice  each  week  to  the  board,  and.  if  any  mis- 
take has  been  made,  it  will  be  detected  and  at 
once  corrected. 

■•  If  wf  don"t  succeed  in  creatinor  »-good  Navy 
i;  will  not  be  my  fault.  It  takes  money  to 
build  ships.. and  if' Congress  will  not  roti-  monev 
uhljis  cannot  be  built.  Oni' ihing  i.<  certain,  I 
will  not  trv  to  build  ships  without  ni.iney.  and 
I  will  not  permit  one  or  two  planks  to  be  taken 
fri>m  an  old.  decayed  hulk,  and,  under  tlie  hrad 
of  ■  repairs,'  attempt  to  consmict  a  new  ship 
oroTind  tht-m,  on  the  principle  of  Imililing  a 
lit-w  harw-l  around  an  old  buns-hole.  If  (Ton- 
pTfss  wants  sliips.  they  must  order  them  iuriii, 
ii:iil  appropriate  the  money,  and  I  will  undar- 
t.ik.-  to  bnihl  them  as  well  and  us  cheap  a.s  the>v 
rrin'lie  built  at  anv  private  shipyani.  Why. 
Si'. "  continued  the  Secretarj".  with  some  show 
o:'  inrti.mation,  "Would  yot'i  iwlicve  that  John 
I;..n<-li  t.>M  me  not  Ions  sin<-e  that  the  Oiivem- 
ip.-n*  cannot  build  shins,  and  that  he  is  ;r»".!nir  to 
break  un  all  our  Xavv-var<ls.  He  says  private 
varils  can  buUd  ships  2,3  per  cent,  cheaper  than 
the  Government  vatds.  and  tiuild  much  better 
vpssels.  In  addition.  Roach  .saiil  many  vessels 
built  at  tiovemment  yards  had  to  be  taken  to 
private  vards  for  repairs  before  they  couhi  so 
lo  sen."  which  shows,  he  argued,  that  the 
liovemmcnt  cannot  bui^d  ships  at  Rll.  and  must 
CO  out  of  the  business.  , 

•  Now.  Mr.  Roach's  statement  of  facts  may 
b  •  tnie.  but  bis  conilusion  is  wrring.  and  1  so 
iufonno,!  him.  I  told  fcim  tiiat  if  Cons.Tess 
will  ..rive  me  the  money  . I  will  l.uild  ships  just

I^-IWN.  Wednesday,  July  25,  1877, 
The  season  is  waning  fast.    The  tide  bf 
fashion  that  began  to  flow  in  upon  na  in  t]  le 
Spring,  fllllng  every  nook  and  comer  of  Majy- 
fair  when  June  .roses  blossomed  over  all  the 
land,  now  ebbs  apace.     The  last  "  At  home^" 
the  concluding  dsmces,   the  fliml  concerts,  the 
closing  dinner-pajroes  of  the  season  begin  to  be 
announced.     The- Row  has  greatly  diminished 
in    splendor  during  the  last  fortnight     In  a 
week  Bond-street  has  become  quiet,  and  Regent- 
street  is  no  moro  blocked  by  a  plethora  of  cdr- 
riagea.     By  the  end  of  the  month  the  town   will 
have  changed  the  floating  population.     Fashion 
will     go    back     to    its    country    estates,   pr 
to    its    continental      retreats,     and     "-countpr 
cousins"  wOlcome  up  for  their  Summer  holidays 
l)y  cheap  exctirsion  trtiins.     For  them  the  shqjv 
keeper  will    fill  his  windows  with    last  yeaf's 
goods,  and  idl  the   cratuitous  sights.- in  the  mjo- 
tropolis  will  open  their  widest  docirs.  •  No  cify 
in.  the  world  undergoes  so  many   changes  on 
the  surface   of  life  as  London.     It  has  its  dis- 
tinct and  separate  seasons    for  p-oliticians,  ait- 
Lst-s,  musicians,  clericals,  farmers^  philosophers, 
sportsmen,    provincials,   medicaVs,    jotrrnalists, 
and  its  own  big  time  in  the  year  for  wealth  ai^d

Strugcling  through  the   Summer  rain  and  a

Olympic  Theatre.     It  is   ,5   o'clock  in  the  aft 
noon.       The     hail  of  .  the     theatre    is  lipht; 
with  gas.     I  Icail  the  l.'vly  on  my  arm  throu

and  pre-sently  we   are  npnm   the  stage,  amor  i  a 
cr.iwd    of    ladies   and    gantlemen    in    morning 
dresses.     It  is  a  pretty  scene.     The  drop  curtain 
is  down,  shutting  off  th«)  gloom  of  the  empty 
auditoriiim,   and  the  sta/re  is  converted   into  a 
real  dra^ving-room  for  the    nonce,    while   the 
green-r?»Dm  beyond  is  devoted  to  the  purposes 
of    real  refreshment.      It     is    no     "property" 
display     The    china  i.<  genuine,  the    tea  and 
coffee     delicious,      the.     champagne    cup    e.x- 
cellent.      There    is    a     piano     on    the     stage, 
and  Mrs.  Eduor  Hall,  one  of  the  guests,  is  sihe- 
ing  as  we  enter.     The  truth  is.  Mr.  George  Colo- 
man,    the    acting  m,aiiager.    is    giving  an  "At 
home"  at  the  theatre,  and  he  is  surrounded  by 
some  oi  the  ple.asantesti people  in  artistic  socie- 
ty.    There  is  here  to-d  ay  one   bright,  particular 
star  from  your  side  of  the  water — Miss   Fapny 
Davenport,  of  the  Fiftii-.-V venue  Theatre,     ^lie 
is,  indeed,  a  beautiful  woman.     Of  tiie, simplest

5II.SS   Braddon   is   here  with  her  husband,  John 
Maxwell,    tlie  publisher,    and   they   are  asking 
3Iis3  Davenport  to  co  to  Liclifleld  House,  Rich- 
mond, whert;  3Iiss  Ilraddoii  receives  her  friends 
every  Sumlay  evening.    Miss  Ada  Cavendish, 
one  of  the  handsomest  women  on  the  English 
stage,  is  here.    A  we!l-kno\vn  clergyman,  who 
stands  up   for  the   drama,  is  describing  to   her 
the  kind  of  play  which  ho  thinks  serves  the  in- 
terests of  true  religion.     His  voice  is  hiished  by 
the  preliininarj-  notes  of  a  well-known  b-allad, 
picked  daintily  out  from  the  keys  of  the  piano 
by  Ur-'Ilttman,   and  Miss  Philp,   a  succesiiful 
ballad  writer,  sings  one  of  her  own  songs  with 
great    taste.      .She    is    followed    by    a  vocalist 
of  the  other  sex  whom   I  do  ^>ot  know.     Then 
conversation  becomes  general  all  around,  the 
stage  is  grouped  naturally,  if  not  artistically, 
with  little  knots  of  interestinghumanity.  Every- 
body is  asking  Mrs.  Seymour  after  Jlr.  Chartea 
Reade.  whom  she  has  left  at  Mar;rate  verynin- 
well.     Mr.  F.  C.  Broughfon  is  paying  special\at- 
tention    to  the  youngest    lady    on    the    stag^./ 
Presently  Mr.  Henry  Neville  arrives  and  is  in< 
troduced  to  Miss  Davenport,  and  a  lady  who 
does  not  belong  to  the  profession  whispers  to  a 
lady  friend,    "what  a  lovely  pair  they  would 
make  for  some   great  new  drama ! "    Neville  is 
a     type     of     the      strong,      athletic,      hand- 
some Englishman ;     and    Fanny  Davenport  is 
— well,    you    know    all    about  the  lovely  pose 
of  her  figure,    her    eloquent    eyes,  the    classic 
contour  of  her  features.    Has  not  Sarony  made 
all  this  a  delightful  notoriety  throughout  the 
States  and  beyond  the  confines  of  the  Atlantic 
Ocean.     Next  year,  London  I  believe,  is  to  be 
made  personally   acquainted    with   the    lady's 
artistic  merits.    If  her  acting  hits  the  town  as 
much  as  her  beauty  has  already  done,  she  will 
make  a  sensation  whenever  she  appears  on  the 
London  boards.      Meanwhile,   artistic  London 
seems  to  be  doing  its  best  to  m.ake  her  flying 
visit  pleasant ;  but  she  comes  rather  late  in  the 
season  to  see  the  town  at  its  best. 

An  incident  of  the  Drury  Lane  stage  this 
week  stands  out  in  curious  contrast  to  that  just 
described  in  connection  with  the  Olympic.  Mr. 
Chatterton  and  some  of  his  theatrical  friends 
Insist  upon  maintaining  the  Dramatic  College  as 
a  pnbUc  institution.  3Ir.  Ledger,  of  the  Era, 
and  several  supporters  want  to  wind  it  up.  They 
were  recently  defeated  in  that  direction,  and  a 
new  hoard  of  management  elected.  On  Tues- 
day Mr.  Chatterton  called  a  meeting  at  Drury 
Lane  to  help  the  efforts  of  the  committee  in 
promoting  an  athletic  ffite  at  Lillie  Bridge  for 
the  benefit  of  the  college.  The  Era 
lias  Imputed  unworthy  motives  to  the 
lessee  of  Drury  Lane,  for  which  Mr. 
Chatterton  has  commenced  legal  proceedings, 
So-that  when  the  reporter  of  the  J?ra  presented 
him.self  on  the  stage  he  was  suddenly  and  un- 
cerimoniously  taken  by  the  collar  and  con- 
ducted to  the  street.  The  Era,  as  you  are  aware, 
is  the  technical  journal  of  the  stag'e,  a  class  pa- 
per, through  which  the  profession  interchanges 
fts  wants,  wishes,  and  requirements.  It  had  an 
early  career  of  difficulties  and  struggle,  but  It  is 
now  a  valuable  property,  though  lately  the  mjan- 
agement  has  succeeded  In  making  a  great  many 
enemies,  which  is  a  mistake.  j ' 

Mr.  Henry  Labonchere  likes  a  row.  He  is 
never  so  happy  as  when  he  is  fighting.  tJiust 
now  his  life  must  be  supremely  bllasiul.  !He 
has  raised  a  hornet's  nest,  and  the  air  is  full  of 
stings,  all  going  for  the  editor  and  proprietor 
of  aVut*.  Labonchere  standi  with  his  back  to 
the  wall  and  fights  like  a  bravo.  The  Theatre, 
.  ths  Snortinaani  2>ra»ati^  Xatler.  <md  Man  fair 


are  all  down  upon  him.  The  Theatre'-t  quarrel 
is  about  Gerster,  and  the  Theatn  Is  hacked  by 
the  Sporting  and  Dramatk.  To  these  Lahou- 
chero  has  replied  with  Mathing,  not  to  say  bru- 
tal, satire,  calling  ono  critic  a  scamp  and  an- 
other "  a  father  and  a  wine  merahant." 
the  Thtatrt  replies  to-day  in  a  simi- 
lar vein.  Let  .it  no  loneer  be  thoueht 
that  I  certain  Am'erican  journals  monopolize 
personalities.  The  Theatre  says  there  are 
scamps  and  scamps,  and  that  Labonchere  has 
written  attacks  on  literary  men,  signing  them 
with  the  name  of  a  lady  to  shelter  him.self  from 
castigation,  having  a  lively  remembrance  of 
being  horse-whipped  at  "  Horabnrg ;  that, 
shunned  by  the  reputable  portion  of  society, 
' '  he  wns  content  to  become  an  oracle  in  the  dtmir 
niowife,"  Mr.  Labonchere  has  already  an  action 
pendtne  against  the  Hornet  for  something  of 
this  trind,  and  he  will  now  possibly  make  Mr. 
Hawkins,  the  accomplished  editor  of  the  Theatre, 
a  defendant.  Mr.  Lucy,  who  was  his  colleague 
on  the  irorW,  chareed  Mr.  Labonchere  with 
plagiarizing  his  Manfair  parliamentary  article 
m  Truth.  Mr  Labouchere  retorted  that  Lucy 
is  "  a]  manakin."  Now  Lucy,  like  all  little  men, 
does  pot  care  to  have  his  stature  referred  to, 
and  he  Ls  proud  of  his  hair,  which  Labouchere 
has  also  criticised  unkindly.  So  you  can  imagine 
how  May  fair  has  tackled  Truth  in  return.  The 
wrangle  is  delicbting  journalistic  society,  be- 
cause all  the  men  are  well  known  and  clever. 
Lucy  is  one  of  the  brightest  "  own  corre- 
spondents "  and  parliamontaiT'  men  on  the 
Daily  Neica.  and  was  formerly  the  writer  of 
"  Under  the  Clock  "  in  the  ll'orM.  Mr.  David- 
son, whpm  Tntth  attacked  on  account  of  his 
criticism  of  Gerster^s  the  miwldiil  crttic  of  the 
Timas,  and  one  of^its  most  scholarly  writers. 
Mr.  Hersee,  who  defended  Davidson  in 
the.  Snqrtina  and  Dramatic,  is  the  father 
of  Boso  Herseo,  (well  known  in  America,)  and 
the  critie  of  the  Obserrer,  a  position  which  he 
hasifilled  for  several  vears,  Mr.  Hawkins  is  a 
member  of  the  editorial  staff  of  the  limes,  and  is 
just  now  trying  to  solve  the  problem  of  thesuccess 
of  a  high  class  journal  devoted  to  the  theatre. 
Mr.  Labouchere  wields  one  of  the  most  caustic 
and  fearless  pens  in  London.  These  gentlemen 
have  no  doubt  .succeeded  in  increasing  the  cir- 
culations of  their  rival  journals  during 
the  past  few  weeks.  They  have  also 
excited  a  special  public  interest  in 
Gerster,  who  is  now  the  heroine  of  rival  parties 
in  the  press  and  in  the  theatre.  Tuesday  week 
saw  an  exceptional  audience  at  Her  Majesty's, 
when  Mme.  (rerster  was  the  Elvira  in  "  I  Puri- 
tani"  Doth sidesarenowexaggeratinghermorits 
and  shortcomincrs.  One  lot  compares  her  to  Patti 
and  Nil.sson  ;  the  other  delegates  her  to  the  re- 
gions of  mediocrity.  They  are  both  wrong. 
Gerster  is  a  capable  artiste,  and  deserves  to  take 
a  place  in  the  foremost  ranks  of  her  profession, 
but  as  yet  she  must  be  content  to  take  a  back 
seat  in 'presence  of  Patti.  Nilsson,  and  Albani, 
Last  night  she  had  a  distinguished  reception  as 
^iltla  in  "  Rigoletto,"  and  impartial  critics  pro- 
nounce tlie  performance  ono  of  remarkable 
merit. 

The  operatic  season  at  Covent  Garden  closed 
on  Saturday  with  "  AMa,"  Mme.  Albani,  as  the 
heroine,  contirmin^  the  biRb  opinion  in  which 
she  is  held  by  audience  and  critics.  At  the  clo.se 
tile  national'  anthem  was  -sunK  by  the  entire 
cotupany,  Patti  giving  the  solo  verses.  The  two 
previous  niirhts  had  been  devoted  to  the  benefit 
of  Patti  and  .\lbani,  Patti  appearing  asjtarghe- 
rital  Albani  as  Ijucia.  A  New-York  critic  tells  me 
that  .-Vlbani  was  not  successful  in  your  City.  \ 
do  not  remember  her  visit  to  America,  but  it 
is  possiiile  slie  has  improved  since,  for 
she  has  become  a  popular  favorite  here  with 
-I  very  critical  audiences.  Her  appearance  in  the 
first  niouth  of  the  operatic  season  was  regarded 
as  nil  interesting  event,  and  she  held  her  own 
%\itli  easy  jjrace  and  manifest  strength  in  all  »he 
great  works  in  which  she  was  ca.st.  During  the 
season  she  has  a<liled  to  her  rt^pertoire  A'cii^a  in 
Warner's  "II  Vascello  Fantasma."  Mme.  Al- 
bani's  first  appearance  this  year  was  on  the  28th 
of  ,\pril.  Patti  came  to  us  on  May  15.  opening 
in  "  I>inorah,''  since  which  time  she  has  sung 
her  way  ihrouffh  a  round  of  lier  best-known 
parts,  and  has  lost  none  of  her  former 
popularity.  It  has  been  noticed  that  her  acting 
is  even  more  realistic  than  it  w,is.  her  death 
scene  in  "  Traviata"  being  somewhat  akin  to 
the  interpretation  of  .1f(i(/((a3  in  "The  Belles." 
by  Henry  Irving-  She  fixes  her  limbs  with  an 
aw-ful  rigidity,  her  eyes  open,  and  her  face 
gliaskly  pale.  '  The  /7oc(«r  strengthens  the  pain- 
ful character  of  the  scene  by  closing  the  eyes  as 
if  in  death,  and  comji.'ising  the  iKidy.  Mile. 
Thalberar  was  one  of  the  attractions  of  the 
meniy  month  of  May.  which  also  brought  us 
Mlle,^Marinion.  ThalherK's  Mrs.  Ford  in  "  Le 
VisiM>  Cutuari  di  Windsor"  was  one  of  the  suc- 
ce.<S(is  specially  noted  by  critics.  Among  the 
fir.st  'appearances  here  which  are  marked  with 
whit4*  htone.s  are  tho.se  of  Signori  t^ayarre, 
Poiisib.lHni.  ami  Ordinas.  Jlr.  Gyo  has  rigidly

How  suddenly  and  completely  ambitions  men 
occasionally  come  to  grief.  Two  years  asro  a 
store  was  opened  in  Re;rent-street,  outrivaling 
.anything  we  had  ever  seen  for  beautiful  and 
t-,i.>-:ly  dre.sses.  'I'he  establishment  was  tttteil  up 
magniSccntly.  It  had  salons  worthy  of  a 
palace,  and  customers  were  regaled  with  re- 
freshments of  the  choicest  kind.s.  Mr.  Ahlborn 
l)ecame  an  acknowledged  and  worthy  opponent 
of  Worth.  Soon  after  the  Dutchess  of  Edin- 
burgh arrived  in  England.  Jshoi.-.nlled  al  the 
new  store  anil  botlj^far-^t  rntt^ytoilette.  Jlr. 
Ahlboru's  adverti.-iements  occupied  columns  and 
pagtjs  of  the  newspapers.  At  the  close  of  his 
first  year  he  gave  a  magnificent  entertainment 
to  his  employes,  which  he  announced  would  be- 
come an  annual  festival.  His  spirited  speech  to 
his  people  ou  this  occasion  was  reported  in 
some  of  the  journals.  An  ilhtstrateil  paper 
printed  a  picture  of  the  scene.  Ahlborn  was 
establisheif.  Everybody  -said  so.  Neighboring 
tradesmen  were  jealous.  A  crowd  of  people  from 
moruing  untU  night  stood  round  his  widows 
admiring  the  wax  ladies  dressed  in  the  h^fhest 
style  of  fashion.  But  .'Vhlbom  cotUd  not  hold 
on.  i  One  morning  I  passed  the  store.  It  was 
closed.  The  next  day  it  was  onnounced  that 
Worth's  rival  had  run  away.  Then  it  was  dis- 
covered that  he  was  steeped  to  the  life  in  debt. 
He  was  made  bankrupt.  His  beautiful  store 
was  covered  with  auction  bills.  A  neighboring 
tradesman  bought  the  .stock  "at  a  great  reduc- 
tion from  cost.'  and  sold  it  off  "  at  an  alarming 
s.ac,rifice-"  Jlr.  Ahlborn  was  wiped  out.  He 
was  forgotten  until  yesteiflay,  when  his  wife 
sued  him  for  a  divorce  on  the  ground  of  cruelty 


\and  adultery,   and  got  a  decree  in  her  favor, 
)  with  tho  rignt  to  have  the  custody  of  her  chil- 
dren. 

If  !Mr-  Ruskin  sneers  at  Sir  Coutts  Lind-say's 
examples  of  art  at  the  Grosvenor  tjallery,  he 
will  no  doubt  approve  of  that  gentleman's  prac- 
tical action  in  regard  to  the  Sunday  question. 
He  has  announced  to  his  friends  that  he  will  oc- 
casionally throw  open  the  gallery  on  Sundays 
to  li.OtiO  working  men,  whom  he  will  supply 
with  tickets  through  the  Secretaries  of  the 
trades-unions.  I  expect  the  working  men,  while 
they  will  fully  appreciate  this  liberality,  will  not 
care  much  for  the  pictures,  which  are  all  more 
or  less  eccentric  studies.  Here  and  there  he 
will  come  upou  a  work  full  of  humanity,  but  on 
the  whole  the  exhibition  is  interesting  only  to^ 
artists,  art  students,  and  their  patrons.  The^ 
decorations  and  furnishing  of  the  rooms  are  in 
admirable  taste,  and  next  year  the  public  is 
promised  a  collection  of  works  embracing  a 
broader  field  of  art  than  that  to  which  this  first 
exhibition  is  confined. 

The  Pope,  it  is  said,  has  sent  "  the  Golden 
Rose  of  V  irtue  "  to  the  wife  of  Gen.  Sherman, 
a  I.idy  whose  name  is  well  kno^vn  at  Rome  as^i 
collector  of  "  Peter's  pence."  The  Empres-s 
Eucenie  and  the  ex-Queen  Isabella  have  both 
received  a  similar  token  of  the  holy  father's 
favor.  The  Pope  tvill  surely  have  some  em- 
blems of  his  good  pleasure  for  England  soon. 
His  emissaries  in  Great  Britain  are-  doing  won- 
ders. There  are  daily  conversions.  The  Ritu- 
aUsts  prepare  the  way.  These  High  Churchmen 
are  the  cause  of  great  an.xiety  to  all  classes  of 
Protestants.  Educated  politicians  charge  them 
■with  intrigues  in  favor  of  Kitssia,  the  outcome 
of  their  yearning  to  bring  tlio  Greek  Church 
into  a  united  communion  of  Christendom. 
Russia  appears  to  have  many  mysterious  friends 
in  England. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  the  Admiralty  has  not  put  its 
finger  on  a  traitor  in  the  naval  ser\ice.  This 
department  has  recently  issued  a  guide-book  to 
the  character  and  working  of  the  new  torpedo. 
It  is  marked ''Private  and  confidential."  £ach 
copy  issued  is  registered,  and  every  officer  to 
whom  the  volume  is  intrusted  has  to  give  a  for- 
mal receipt,  which  is  duly  posted  at  head-quar- 
ters. On  board  one  of  her  Jlajesty's  ships  yes- 
terday a  Lieutenant,  when  called  upon  for  his  tor- 
pedo-book, could  not  find  it.  At  present  he  is 
unable  to^ve  a  proper  account  of  the  loss.  His 
brother  officers  express  a  lively  interest  In  the 
affair.  Jleanwhile,  the  Lieutenant  is  looking 
evetywhere  for  themissing  volume.  -This  sudden 
effort  of  secrecy  on  the  part  of  the  Admiralty 
is  curious.  Only  the  other  day  the  dock-yard 
officers  and  engineers  were  showing  Russian 
officers  over  the  English  ships,  arsenals,  and 
factories,  ^nd  giving  them  all  the  information 
they  desired  upon  everything.  Some  of  the 
journals  called  attention  to  this  singular  com- 
plaisance, but  the  authorities  saw  no  reason  to 
hide  anything  from  any  of  the  foreign  visitors 
who  bring  introdnotions  from  their  Govem- 
menta  and  desire  to  go  behind  the  scenes  ot  our 
factories  and  ih^bulhUiur  vanW

Honi  Henry  W.  HiUiard,  Commissioner  from  the 
Confederate  States  to  the  Governor  of  Teunessee. 
yesterday  addressed  the  convention  of  the  houses  of 
the  Legislature  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  in

Confederate  States.  |  ^th  arguments  and  motives 
that  were  IrreBistlbie.  The  address  was  loudly  ap- 
plauded at  all  noints  when  Ulusion  was  made  to 
union  ^vith  the  Confederate  States,  thus  showing  how 
the  hearts  of  Tennei^eans  beat,  nnd  how  warmly 
tfcey  Bprept  the  proposition.  Mr.  HiUiard  Is  a  grace-

Mr.  HiUiard  comi^enced  by  expressing  the  hope 
that  hi^  should  be  petmitted  to  bear  the  joyful  tid- 
ings tq  his  (iovermn^nt  that  his  mission  had  been 
successful.  He  ealo^zed  in  the  most  flattering

in  a  most  compUmentat^  manner  of  the  Gox'-

so  promptly  rehised  the  demand  of  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment for  troops,  mad*»  thronch  a  tyrant  who  had 
degraded  the  position  he  held.  He  then  proceeded  to 
consider  briefly  the  oxtraordinary  condition  of  the 
country,  expressing  the  belief  that  the  events  of  the 
LfRt  fesv  months  would  be  recorded  by  the  historian 
with  peculiar  erapiiasiR,  and  unUke  anjrthin*  known 
in  modem  history.  A  great  empire,  extending  from 
tlie  Ajtlantic  to  the  Pacific,  hod  fallen  to  pieces- 
fallen' not  from  any  foreign  attack,  but  because  the 
central  power  had  become  so  corrupt  and  Incompe- 
tent that  the  people  could  not  endure  the  deirraaa- 
tfcm.  iln  the  election  of  Lincoln  every  principle  of

With  all  the  (rovemments  of  the  rixHiized  world.  An

never  more  tractable.  The  North  had  made  a  ml.*-

a  lother  in  supposing  that  the  South  would  be  in-

jl  DIED  I.V  SIS  CARRIAGE. 
The .  Middletown  iVcw  of  Saturday  says  : 
Mr.  George  Conning,  a  prominent  citizen  of  Hamp- 
^onbnrg,  died  suddenly  yesterday,  Aug.  3,  from 
apopl]eiy,  at  the  age  of  77  years.  During  the  after- 
noon |he  left  his  home  in  his  carriage  to  visit  a  friend 
named  3Iadden,  living  some  five  or  six  miles  distant. 
He  started  to  return  about  4  o'clock,  and  had  pro- 
ceeded but  a  short  distance,  when  he  was  attached 
with  apoplexy,  and  probably  died  almost  instantly. 
After  death  his  body  stUl  remalnml  upright  on  the 
seat  of  tlie  carriage,  and  the  horse  traveled  slowly  on. 
Messrs.  David  Brick  and  John  Jewell,  Jr.,  chanced 
to  be  driving  behind  him  in  the  same  direction. 
Their  attention  was  first  aroused  to  the  fact  that 
something  was  wrong  by  finding  in  the  road  a  hat 
and  soon  after  a  handkerchief,  the  latter  marked 
with  the  name,  'G.  Conning.*  Fearing  some  accident 
had  happened  to  their  aged  ueighbor,  they  drove 
briskly  on  for  a  half  mile,  when  they  came  up  with 
Mr.  Conning,  sitting  bolt  upright  in  his  buggy,  the 
horse  leisurely  walHnf,  ana  the  reins  dragging  on 
the  ground.  Mr.  Jewell  got  out,  -ran  to  the  nurse's 
bead  and  stopped  him,  and  then  attempt e<^  to  wake 
Mr.  Conning  from  what  he  smiposed  wa7  a  sleep. 
FaUing,  he  examined  closer  and  found  to  his  horror 
that  his  aged  neighbor  was  sleeping  the  sleep  that 
kno^vs  no  waking.

pardoned  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Judge  who 
presided  at  the  trial  and  the  District  Attorney  who 
assisted  in  the  convietiotL,  for  the  reason  that  the

THE  DE  WATER-NIVER  CASE. 


THE  TWO  ACCUSED  MEN  CONVICTED  OF  CON- 
SPIRING TOGETHER  AGAINST  DB  WATER'S 
WIFE  TO  PROCURE  EVIDENCE  TO  BE  USED 
IN    a'   trial  fob  DIVORCE. 

The  Elmlra  Gazette  says  that  the  trial  In  that 
city  of  young  York  De  Water  and  Benjamin  Niver, 
his  hired  man.  for  conspiring  agiunst  the  former's 
wife,  was  ended  on  Friday  by  a  verdict  of  gnllty.  It 
says  :  **  The  defendant,  York  De  Water,  is  a  son  of 
I«ewi8  De  Water,  a  farmer  in  the  town  bf  Southport, 
and  a  brother  of  Wright  Da  Water,  of  this  city,  and 
resides  on  the  old  De  Water  homestead  in  the  town 
of  Southport,  between  Jones',  on  the  Plank  road, 
and  Caton  Centre.  He  is  a  young  man,  hardly  30 
years  old.  short,  thick-set,  and  rugged,  of  fair,  florid 
complexion,  sturdy  head  weU  set  on  a  short  neck  and 
broad  shoulders.  Benjamin  Niver,  the  other  de- 
fendant, has  been  for  several  years  York's  *  hired 
man.'  He  is  about  20  years  old  boyish 
in  appearance,  cool  and  coUected,  slight  in 
bnUd,  and  of  a  palUd,  sicklied  hue  of  countenance. 
The  crime  charged  upon  the  defendants  was  that 
Niver  got  into  the  bed  while  Ella  De  Water  was 
asleep,  and  In  the  absence  of  York,  in  pursuance  of 
an  agreement  and  conspiracy  between  him  and  York 
for  the  purpose  of  making  evidence  upon  which  an 
action  might  be  brotight  against  Ella  for  divorce.  The 
admi-s-slons  of  Niver,  while  in  Pennsylvania,  were 
shown  to  the  effect  that  he  said  he  had'an  agreement 
with  De  Water  to  be  found  where  he  was.  The 
prisoners  were  represented  by  John  Murdoch.  Esq.. 
and  Mr.  Robert  Stephens,  who  stoutly  contested  the 
ca«se  step  by  step.  The  introduction  of  evidence  oc- 
cupied six  days,  the  opening  and  closing  arguments 
of  counsel  nearly  two.  The  case  was  concluded  yes- 
terday afternoon  bv  the  rendition  of  a  verdict  of  ciiilty. 
The  line  of  the  defense  was  that  the  wife  of  De  Water 
voluntarily  permitted  improper  relations  to  exist  be- 
tween lierself  and  Niver,  and  whfle  it  was  possibl** 
that  the  husband  connived  at  the  oflFensej^  yet 
the  measures  he  took  to  establish  her  alteged 
adultcn.'  and  confirm  his  suspicions  were  only  those 
natural  and  ordinary  under  the  circumRtances'.  It  is 
understood  that  the  first  ballot  of  the  jurj'  wa.s 
unanimous  for  conviction.  Mr.  Murdoch,  of  the  de- 
fendant's counsel,  moved  for  n  stay  of  sentence,  that 
a  motion  for  a  new  trial  micht  be  argued  on  execp- 
tions  taken.  The  motion  was  granted,  and  the  rase 
wiU  be  taken  for  review  to  the  General  Term  in  Sep- 
tember. If  the  verdict  of  the  jury  shall  be  carried 
Into  effect  the  majcimnTn  punishment  of  the  law  is 
$250  fine,  or  one  year  in  the  County  Jail,  or  both,  or 
modifications   of   cither,    at   the  discretion  of    tho 


THE  LAND  OF  THE  MIDNIGIST  SUN. 


WITHDJ  the  arctic  CIRCLE— PECULIARITIES 
OP  THE  NORWEGIAN  COAST  AND  OF  THE 
PEOPLE. 

The  Rochester  Union  makes  the  following  ex- 
tracts from  a  pri^-ate  letter  dated  at  Tromsoe,  Noi^ 
way.  Jtily  3  : 

'•Westaamed  into  this  pretty  Arctic  town  night 
before  la.«t.  and  shaU  make  our  home  here  a  week 
longer,  while  a  portion  of  the  party  finish  their 
northern  trip  aronnd  North  Cape  to  Vadsoe.  We 
crossed  the  mountains  by  means  of  horses  and  car- 
riaffci,  usine  120  for  our  ride  of  200  miles.  The  law 
requires  every  station — from  six  to  ten  mUes  apart — 
to  furnish  travelers  fresh  horses  within  half  an  hour 
of  their  arrival.  We  are  now  two  days  into  the  Arc- 
tic Circle,  and  where  we  now  live  the  suu  shines 
briehtly  at  midnight  from  May  20  to  July  22. 
Even  two  days  before  reaching  this  point 
the  sun  was  so  strong  at  midnight  that 
the  l-idies  wanted  shades.  This  coast  is 
jierfet-tly  beautiful,  or.  I  should  have  said,  grand,  as 
well  as  wonderful.  For  nearly  2.000  mUes  the 
I.'.land.s  are  so  thick— so  close  together — that  it  Is  like 
sailing  up  a  river  which  expands  into  lakes.  The 
whole  distance  is  overshadowed  with  snow-capped 
mountAins  from  3,000  to  5.000  feet  in  height,  rising 
abruptly  from  the  water,  while  in  the  distance  are  to 
be  seen  those  which  are  much  higher.  We  were  ex- 
posed only  once  or  twice  to  the  open  sea,  and  then 
only  two  or  three  hours  at  a  time-  Tho  air  here  is 
very  exhilarating.  Yesterday  the  children  picked 
wild  flowers  as  we  were  walking.  an3  within  a  few 
feet  made  snowballs.  It  is  a  wonder  that  in  so  short  a 
season  anythinccanbeerown  in  this  latitude,  and  yet 
grass  sprincs  up  rapidly,  often  growing  an  inch  in 
24  hours.  They  nave  but  two  seasons  really — 10 
months  of  Winter  and  two  of  Summer.  AltJiough 
the  seaaon  is  so  long  yet  the  feords  never  freeze,  and 
I  think  we  aften  have  as  cold  weather  In  New-York. 
The  occupation  of  the  place  is  fishing,  mostly  her- 
ring and  codfish-  AU  are  well  to  do  ;  no  rich  and  no 
poor.  The  people  are  inteUieent,  the  masses  re- 
ceiving a  fair  ewiucation.  But  "what  a  queer  place 
and  what  queer  customs  '.  From  the  belfry  of  the 
church  between  the  hours  of  8  at  night  and  o  A.  M. 
a  man  shouts  the  time  of  night  through 
a  large  tin  horn  at  intervals  of  every 
half  h  our.  The  dergyme  n  wear  large, 
wide  mflfs.  We  have  just  been  to  see  the 
Ijaps.  some  three  or  four  miles  from  the  town.  They 
were  notified  the  day  before  and  for  a  small  fmin 
spent  the  whole  dav  amonc  the  mountains  gathering 
their  reftideer  which  they  drove  down  for  us  to  see — 
some  -iOO  of  them  in  number.  It  was  such  a  novel 
sight  to  see  them  coming  down  the  steep  mountains. 
They  will  not  live  low  down,  as  they  eat  only  rein- 
deer moss  which  grows  where  it  is  very  cold.  '  Cows 
will  not  eat  where  they  have  been  as  the  scent  of  the 
little  hair  they  shed  Is  very  dffensive  to  them.  Wo 
go  from  here  to  the  feoiUs  around  Molde  and  Bergen 
and  purpose  spending  a  few  weeks  there ;  from 
thenco  we  go  to  .  Hamburg,  through  Germany  to 
Geneva.  reaching^J^ice  about  the  Ist  of  November. 
The  trip  so  far  has  been  one  of  great  pleasure." 


SONG  OF  THE  YEMONTERS. 


FRAXK  yrALTTORTH  AT  HO^E. 
The  Snratogian  of  Friday  sjays :  '*  Mrs.  "Wal- 
worth and  her  son  arrived  home  yesterday  morning 
on  the  first  train  from  the  West.  When  first  notified 
of  tho  signing  of  Frank's  pardon,  Tuesday  morning. 
Jlrs.  Walworth  took  the  early  train  for  Auburn,  ar- 
riving there  in  the  afternoon-  She  had  previously 
notified  Dr.  ilacDonald,  of  Auburn,  by  telegraph,  of 
the  pardon,  so  that  her  son  was  prepared  to  meet 
her  on  her  arrival.  Tho  entire  family  are  now  at  the 
Walworth  homestead.  Rev.  Father  Clarence  Wal- 
worth being  also  a  c^uest.  All  day  yesterday  Mrs. 
Walworth  was  in  receipt  of  congratulatory  tokens, 
nnd  quite  a  number  of  the  more  intimate  friends  of 
the  lamily  called  to  pay  their  respects.  We  need 
hardly  say  that  the  family  circle  is  once  more  a 
happv  one.  Only  those  who  know  how  earnestly 
Mrs.  ^^alworth  has  labored  for  the  restoration  of  heir 
boy  can  adequately  appreciate  the  satisfaction  ex- 
perienced on  the  receipt  of  Gov.  Robinson's  pardon- 
We  do  not  believe  that  there  are  many  persons  in 
Saratoga  who  do  not  heartUy  rejoice  at  the  result, 
Frank's  health  is  not  good,  but  we  do  not  doubt  that 
liberty,  care,  and  good  diet  wiU  do  much  to  restore 
him.  A  journey  to  Europe  is  not  eontemplated  at 
present." 

The  Syractise  C<ynrier  of  Thursday  morning 
says:  "Frank  Walworth,  tho  parricide,  who  re- 
ceived a  pwrdon  from  Gov.  Robinson  yesterday,  ai^ 
Hved  in  this  city  from  Auburn  this  moruing  at  1 
o'clock,  in  company  with  his  mother,  who  has  de- 
voted herself  since  bis  incarceration  to  freeing  her 
unfortunate  son  from  a  terrible  fate,  which  befell 
him  on  her  account.  Together  they  sat  in  tho  wait- 
ing-room at  the  Central  Depot,  ujitU  the  anival 
of  the  St-  Louis  express,  which  they  boarded 
nnd  departed  for  Albany  at  2  o'clock.  Happily, 
very  few  persons  knew  of  their  presenct*.  nence 
they  were  spared  the  pain  and  mortification  of  being 
made  a  pnbUc  show  of.  Walworth  came  out  of 
prison  last  evening  and  was  received  into  a  carriage 
at  the  gates  by  his  mother.  They  drove  across  to 
the  depot,  and,  without  alighting,  waited  for  the 
train,  which  brought  them  to  Syracuse-  A  glance  at 
the  pale  and  hajargard  face  of  young  Walworth  is  suf- 
ficient to  convince  one  that  nis  pardon  is  an  act  of 
the  purest  humanity,  if  not  aUo  of  the  most  exact 
justice.  His  hair  has  grown  long  since  his  protracted 
confinement,  and  he  wlows  it  to  fall  in  heavy  locks 
upon  his  shoulders.  He  was  dressed  plainly  and 
spoke  but  little  to  his  mother,  who  remained  witJi 
him  and  attended  to  his  Uttle  wants  with  untiring 
devotion. " 


A  WHSTERN  FISH  STORY, 
The  EvansviUe  (Ind.)  Courier  thu-s  tells  it: 
'  'Mr.  William  Todd  was  fishing  with  a  trout-Une  in  the 
Tennessee  Biver.  After  catching  several  fish  he  went 
home,  leaving  his  line  out.  The  same  evening  ho 
went  back  to  take  it  up,  but  it  was  nowhere  to  be 
seen,  and  he  supposed  It  lost  forever.  A  few  days 
after,  Mr.  Elkins  was  going  down  the  river  and  dis- 
covered the  float  of  a  Ime  about  a  mile  below  where 
Mr.  Todd  was  fishing.  He  aud  some  friends  who 
were  In  the  boat  started  to  take  up  tho  line,  but  on 
reaching  the  hook  they  found  on  it,  instead  of  a  sup- 
posed log.  a  hideotis  monster,  that  so  frightened  them 
that  they  dropped  it,  but  concluded  to  tow  it  down 
to  Pine  Bluff.  They  ptilied  It  out  on  reaching  there, 
and  found  it  to  be  a  uondescript  fish  or  alligHtor.  It' 
was  dead,  but  had  not  bitten  at  the  bait.  The  hook 
had  catight  in  Its  body  In  several  places,  and  In  stmg-

ITS    AUTHORSHIP     FINALLY    EETTI^D— JOHN 
G.   WHITTXEB  ACKNOWLEDGES  IT  AS  HIS, 
BtTT    ONLY    AS     "a    BOT'S     PRACTICAL 
^   JOKE." 

From  the  Burlingtcn  Free  Press,  Aug.  4- 
The  authorship  of  this  stirring  ode  "i^  been 
suspected  by  some,  but  known  to  few  except  Ita  au- 
thor. It  has  been  attributed  to  Mr.  Whittier,  as  wdl 
as  to  Ethan  Allen  and  others ;  but  though  he  has 
privately  admitted  the  authorship  of  it  of  late  years 
in  conversation  with  friends,  Mr.  Whittier  has  never, 
we  believe,  given  any  public  acknowledgment  of  it, 
nor  has  he  recognized  it  by  admitting  it  to  a  place  in 
any  edition  of  his  works.  The  corrcBpondence  pub- 
lished below  gives  the  literary  histor>-  of  the  produc- 
tion, and  shows  that  although  supposed  to  have  been 
composed  or  sung  bv  the  "Green  Mountain  Boys  of

tlers of  the  New-Hampshire  Grants  might,  cotild, 
would,  or  should  have  sung.  This,"  song'*  may  bo

State  Is  quite  astir  for  the  celebration  of  her  hundreth 
birthday  at  Bennington,  on  the  15th  and  16th  of 
next  month.  I  have  been  caUed  upon  to  deliver  an 
address  on  the  15th,  tho  Vermont  dav  speclaUv, 
and  so,  as  is  natural,  snatches  of  the  *"  Song  of  the 
Verajonters  "  have  now  and  then  come  haimting  me,

because  he  manifests  a  too  pronounced  disposition 
for  street  broils  and  rough-and-tumble  fights. 
There  is  no  law  that  I  know  of  to  compel  you  to  le- 
gitimate the  chUd.  or  by  which  the  public  can  pro- 
cure an  order  of  affiliation  upon  you  ;  but  it  might 
be  worth  the  while  to  stop  the  nonsense  of  sx»eaking 
of  this  as  one  of  the  sonirt  composed  or  sung  by 
Ethan  Allen,  as  a  Representative  in  Congress,  in  a 
speech  there,  once  said  or  intimated,  and  then  grandr 
ly  recited  it.  In  truth  it  is  a  very  stirring  ode,  and 
fuU  of  the  spirit  of  the  times  referred  to.  Am  I  ask- 
ing too  much  of  yoti,  that  you  give  me  some  account 
of  its  production — ^when  composed  and  where  pub-

"  THE  PEIEST  IN  ABSOLUTION:* 


HR.  ■WHITTIER  S  REPLY. 

Oak  Knoll.  Danvers,  Mass.,  ) 
29th  7th  mo.  1877.  5 
Dear  Friestd:  The  "Song  of  Vermonters"  was 
written  in  1833  or  '4,  end  was  an  attempt  at  literary 
mystification  hardly  excusable  even  in  a  young 
writer,  I  was  curious  to  see  if  it  could  l>e  received 
as  an  old-time  production.  It  was  printed  in  Buck- 
ingham's Sew-EnQland  Magazine,  and  remained  un- 
suspected for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century.  How  it 
was  at  last  discovered  aa  mine  I  cannot  conceive,  as  I 
had  never  owned  it.  I  was  early  interested  in  the 
history  of  Vermont  and  in  Ethan  AUen,  whose  life 
and  adventurea  awakened  the  enthusiasm  even  of  a 
Quaker  boy,  whose  peace  principles  at  that  time  were 
traditionary  rather  than  the  result  of  serious  con- 
vincement.  I  have  no  copy  of  the  poem,  and  have 
no  clear  idea  of  Its  character  in  a  Uterary  or  ethical 
point  of  ^iew.  In  both  respects  I  fear  it  is  sadly  de- 
fc'tive;  and  It  is  not  without  regret  that  I  find  the 
boy's  practical  joke  still  aUt-e  and  confronting  me  in 
late  nwnhood.        I  am,  verv  truly,  thv  friend, 

John  g.  ^VHITTIER. 

We  subjoin  the  poem,  which,  though  repeatedly 
printed  in  our  columns  in  former  years,  never  tires 
for  "V'ermont  readers,  and  wiU  have  a  fresh  ring  in 
this  year  of  Centennial  memories  : 

THE  SONG  OF  THE  VERMONTERS. 
1770. 
Ho.  all  to  the  borders  \    Vermonters  come  down. 
With   your  breeches   of  deer-skin,    and  jackets  of 

brown ; 
With  yonr  red  woollen  caps,  and  your  moccasins, 

come' 
To  the  gathering  stunmons  of  tmmnet  and  drum. 

Come  down  with  yonr  rifles  '. — let  gray  wolf  and  fox 
Howl  on  the  shade  of  their  primitive  rocks  j 
I>et  the  bear  feed  sectirely  from  pig-pen  and  staU  ; 
Here's  two-l^;ged  game  for  your  powder  and  ball 

On   our  South  come  the  Dutchman,  enveloped  In 

grease. 
And  arming  for  battle  while  canting  for  peace  ; 
On  our  East  crafty  Mesbecht  has  gathered  his  band. 
To  hflCig  up  our  leaders  and  eat  out  our  land. 

Ho,  all  to  the  rescue !    For  Satan  shall  work 
No  gain  for  his  legions  of  Hampshire  and  York  ! 
Thev  claim  our  possessions — the  pitiful  knaves — 
The'ocibute  we  pay  shaU  be  prisons  and  graves ! 

Let    Clinton  and  Ten  Brock.J  with  bribes  in  their 

bands. 
Still  seek  to  divide  tis  and  parcel  our  Iwads  ; 
We've  coats  for  our  traitors  whoever  they  are — 
The  warp  is  of  feathers,  the  filling  of  tar  ! 

Does  the  '*  Old  Bay  State  *'  threaten  ?  Does  Con- 
gress complain  ? 

Swarms  Hampshire  in  arms  on  our  borders  again  1 

Bark  the  war-dogs  of  Britain  aloud  on  the  lake  ? 

Let  'em  come  \  what  they  con,  they  are  welcome  to 
take. 

WTiat  seek  they  among  us  ?    The  pride  of  our  wealth 

Is  comfort,  contentment,  and  labor,  and  health. 
And  lauda  which  as  freemen  wo  only  hav©  trod. 
Independent  of  all  save  the  mercies  of  God. 

Yet  we  owe  no  aUeglance  ;  we  bow  to  no  throne ; 

Our  ruler  is  law  anS  the  law  is  onr  own  ; 

Our  leaders  themselves  are  our  own  fellow-men, 

\Vbo  can  handle  the  sword,  or  the  scythe,  or  the  pen. 

Onr  wives  are  all  true,  and  our  daughters  are  fair, 
With  their  blue  eyes  of  smiles,  and  their  light  flowing 

hair  ; 
AU  brisk  at  their  wheels  tUI  the  dark  even-fall 
Then  blithe  at  the  sleigh-ride,  the  husking,  and  balL 

We've  sheep  ou  the  hillside  ;  we*ye  cows  on  the  plain ; 
And  gay-tasseled  corn-fields,  and  rank-growing  gram  : 
There  are  deer  on  the  mountains,  and   wood-pigeous 

fly 
From  the  crack  of  onr  muskets,  like  clouds   on  the 

sky. 

And  there's  fish  In  our  streamlets  and  rivers,  which 

take 
Their  course  from  the  hills  to  our  broad-bosomed 

lake ; 
ThroAgh    rock-arched  "R^nooski  the   salmon  leaps 

And  the  portly  shad  follows  all  fresh  from  the  sea. 

Like  a  sunbeam  the  pickerel  gUdes  through  his  pool ; 
And  the  spotted  trout  .sleeps  where  the  water  is  cool. 
Or  darts  from  his  shelter  of  rock  and  of  root. 
At  the  beavers  quick  plunge,  or  the  angler's  pnrstiit. 

And  ours  are  the  mountains  which  awfnlly  rise. 
Till  they  rest  their  green  heads  on  the  top  of  the 

skies  : 
And  ours  are  the  forests  nnwasted.  unshorn. 
Save  where  the  wild  path  of  the  tempest  is  torn. 

And  though  savage  and  wild  be  this  climate  of  ours, 
And  bri^be  otir  season  of  fruits  and  of  flowers. 
Far  dearer  the  blast  round  our  mountain  which  raves, . 
Than  the  sweet  Summer  zephyr  which  breathes  over 
^aves. 

Hurrah  for  Vermont !  for  the  land  which  we  tiH 
Must  have  sons  to  defend  her.  from  valley  and  hill; 
Leave  the  harvest  to  rot  on  the  field  where  it  grows  ; 
And  the  reaping  of  what  for  the  reaping  of  foes. 

Prom  far  Michlscow's  wild  valley,  to  where 
Poosoomsuek  steals  down  from  his  wood-circled  lair. 
From  Shocticook  River  to  Lutterlock  town — 
Ho,  aU  to  the  rescue !    Vermonters,  come  down  I 

Come  York  or  come  Hampshire,  come  traitors  and 

knaves, 
H  ve  rule  oer  our  land,  ye  shall  rule  o'er  our  graves  ; 
Our  vow  is  recorded  our  banner  tmfnrled 
In  the  name  of  Vermont  we  defy  aU  the  world !  § 

••'In  1762  New-York.  bv  reason  of  an  extraordinary 
grant  of  Charles  11.  to  the  l>uke  of  York,  claimed  a  juris- 
diction over  about  60  townships,  of  which  grants  had 
been  given  by  the  Governor  of  Kew- Hampshire,  declaring 
those  grants  illegal.  An  attempt  was  made  to  dispossess 
th?  sprTleiv,  but  it  was  promptly  resisted.  In  1774  New- 
Yurk  passed  a  most  despotl'c  law  against  the  resisting 
Vermonters,  and  the  Gavemor  offered  a  large  reward  for

GOV.   WILLIAMS'  SOXIXLAW. 

The  Indianapolis  JoumtU  of  Saturday  says : 
"The  returns  from  tlie  strike  continue  to  coznein. 
It  haa  just  been  revealed  that  when  it  was  at  Its 
height  here  Gov.  Williama'  son-in-law  reached  Colum* 
bus  on  his  way  East  with  a  car-load  of  fat  cattle.  The 
train  was  stopped  there,  and  the  eon-In-law  unloaded 
his  cattle,  put  them  in  a  pasture,  and  returned  to  thia 
city.  Wisning  to  return  to  ^Vheatland,  he  caUed 
upon  the  Go^Tsmor  for  his  assistance  in  getting 
through  the  blackade.  The  Governor,  therefore^  wrote 
a  letter  addressed  '  To  whom  it  may  concern, '  and  sent 
it  by  the  hand  of  his  son-in-law  to  the  strikers. 
I'hA  letter  informed  them  that  the  bearer  was 
the  Govomor's  son-in-law.  and  that  as  an  emergency

HEBTING  OF  THE  RITUALISTS— THE  BOCIEn 
OF  THE  HOLT  CROSS  AND  **  THE  PBIEST 
IN  ABSOLUTION"  DEFENDED. 
From  the  London  I>aify  Xetos,  Jvi^  26. 
A  meeting,  convened  by  the  Holbom  biwub 
of  the  English  Church  Union,  was  held  last  ervnlng 
in  the  St.  Alban'a  School-room.  Baldwin's  GardMMi 
nnder  the  Presidency  of  Rev.  A.  H-  Mackonoehlo,  to 
discuss  the  book  known  an  The  Priest  in  AbsoUsti»n. 
The.Chainnan  explained  that  two  reaolutiona  wtiold 
be  subtnitted,  bearing  upon  clrctimstanres  which  had » 
occurred  lately,  with  regard  to  the  book  In  qneaticai 
and  to  the  Society  of  the  HoIt  Cross.  The  attack 
made  upon  the  book  could  hardly  be  cw^ 
posed  to  arise  from  any  great  zeal  for  the  jrmlj 
of  pubUc  mormls,  aa  for  an  Intention,  either  eoowu 
or  unknown  to  those  who  romraenned  the  a^tatioix, 
of  attacking  the  Society  of  the  Holj-  Cross.  The  ao- 
ctetv  was  an  association  of  priests  for  the  deepening 
of  their  own  spiritual  life,  and  in  order  to  aid  one  an- 
other in  their  work  such  subjects  as  that  of  the  way 
of  getting  souls  would  very  often  come  before  them. 
It  was  found  that  young  priests  experienced  great 
difBcultj-  in  (raining  instruction  at  to  that  part  of  thcdr  ' 
duty,  notwiilistaxtding  one  or  two  old  book*  on  the 
subject,  which  touched  rather  on  abstract  principles, 
and  it  was  suggested  that  some,  l>ook  should  be  pifr 
pared  for  the  purpose.  The  society  was  i*. 
sponsible  for  mooting  the  idea,  and  it  had  been 
responsible  during  the  last  two  jrears  for  publishing 
the  iKwk,  in  order,  not  to  extend,  but  to  limit  its  dr- 
culation.  Tlie  Chairman  having  quoted  aome  por- 
tion of  the  book  to  dispute  the  rharpes  which. nad 
l>een  broncht  acainst  itf  argued  that  physlcixiia  had

Judge  West,  the  Republican  nominee '  for' 
Governor,  reached  his  home  in  BeUefontalne,  on 
Thursday  morning.  He  was  met  at  the  depot  by  a 
number  of  committees  and  given  a  hearty  weleoma 
by  all  classes  of  cltizem*,  without  distinction  oTraee,! 
creed,  or  political  affiliations,  A  significant  «nd! 
peculiarly  gratifying  f**aturp  of  the  reception  was  the] 
appearance  among  those  cerdially  gre«*ting  Judge 
West  of  Jndge  Lawrence  and  Hon.  John  A.  Price,; 
who  have  both  been  classed  among  tho  moat' 
determined  of  his  opponents.  Judge  Lawrence.;, 
it  will  be  rf-memborod,  v.-as  a  candidate  tot\ 
the  nomination  a^ralnst  Jndge  We^,  and  ha^ 
been  the  leader  ot  an  anti-West  faction  in  Logan: 
County.  The  first  man  to  greet  the  reluming  nomi-| 
nee  and  deliver  a  speech  of  hearty  welcome  was! 
Jndge  Lawrence,  and  this  was  followed  by  a  Flmilar 
expression  of  friendship  and  support  from  CaptJ 
Price.  In  replying  to  these  une^qvocted  proffers 'ofj 
friendship  and  assistance  J udco  We.st  was  at  times! 
overcome  with  emotion.  He  said  he  went  to  Cleve-j 
land  alone,  and  without  personal  ambitious  feeling. 
In  this  city  he  met  with  a  cordial,  hearty  greeting, 
was  tirged'to  permit  the  use  of  his  name,  consented, 
and  su'-cess  resultr^d.     He  then  proceeded: 

"  Now,  I  have  retumod,  surrounded  by  this  multi-

<BAIL  R£SaLT02PS  "FISST  LOVE  IS 
BEST." 

tatST  hOTE   IS   BEST.    A  Sentimental  Sketch.    By 
QAiXi  HAM11.TOX.    Boston :  Esrss  &  Lactkiat.    187 1 . 

Gail  Hamilton  has  no  need  in  her  pleasant 
preface  to  apolosize  for  poaching  on  the  novel- 
bt's  manor.  There  are  no  reserved  romancist's 
rights.  Any  one  may  roam  through  the  coverts 
of  fancy.  Doctor,  minister,  newspaper  oorre- 
spcHident,  lightning-rod  man,  politician — all  dare 
elnteh  their  fowling-pieces,  beat  np  the  thick- 
ets, and  bring  down  their  coy  maidens  or  lan- 
gnishlne  swains.  Of  course,  there  is  game  and 
game,  but  the  strangest  misconceptions  arise  at 
times  as  to  the  character  of  the  feriB  natures. 
"  By  the  lime  light  of  romance"  what  has  been 
thought  by  the  sportsman  to  be  a  wild  swan,  in 
broad  day  often  tarns  out  to  be  a  very  tame 
goose,  and  the  daintiest  of  love  birds  nothing 
more  than  quite  ]^saic  pigeons. 

Hiss  Dodge's  Katherlne  Haviland,  the  heroine, 
emerges  from  her  school  days  *'  as  strong  as  a 
young  moose,"  which  ia  indicative  of  a  physique 
may  be  ten  times  as  powerful  as  that  of  a  cari- 
bou or  a  gazelle.    Kate  eats  cakes,  candy,  and 
mince-pie,  and  dotes  on  pickles.     There  is  a 
great  deal  of  pleasant  freshness  about  Kate. 
Certain  very  sweet  yet  absurd  idiosyncrasies  of 
Kate,  Miss  Dodge  tells  lovingly,  and  descants 
about  with  keener  insight  than  it  is  given  toman 
to  describe.    Kate  Is  a  girl  with  a  grievance, 
and  naturally  drops  into  poetry  as  a  consolation. 
There  are  two  poems  in  the  early  chapters  of 
First  Love  is  Sest.     The  authoress,  somewhat 
doubtful  as  to  these  metric-vl  productions,  frank- 
ly indulges  in  the  belief  that  had  these  poems 
been-     sent      to      Sarper's      Magaiins      they 
would     have     been      returned.      We      must 
frankly      state       that      we      are      of      Gail 
Hamilton's  opinion.   A  Mr.  Glynn,  a  rich  banker, 
who  has  been  in  love  with  Katy  ever  since  slie 
was  a  two-year-old,  proposes  to  Kate,  and  is 
respectfully  declined.    Kate  is  in  search  of  an 
Ideal,  and  thinks  she  finds  her  hero  in  Walter 
Laballe,  whose  real  name  is  Sam  Ball,  and  Kate 
and  Walter  plight  their  troth.     Laballe    is    a 
handsome  sham  and  an  empty  nothing.    This 
character  of  a  purposeless,  aimless  creature,  is 
very  cleverly  described.    Kate,  who  has  noble 
aspirations,  finds  out  the  vacuity  of  her  ideal. 
There  is  a  curious  bit  of  work  just  here;  where 
Kate  for  the  first  time  doubts    the  sincerity  of 
Laballe's  love.    Kate  has  left  her  rustic  home 
for  the  city,  and  is  given  to  spriiikling  herself 
with  American  cologne.    Laballe  whose  taste  is 
imobjectionable,  snifiiS  at  a  woman  who  smells 
like   '    a       pudding.       Certainly      American 
cologne     is     a     brutal      compound,      having 
oil  of  cassia  for  itsbase,  while  the  original  Maria 
Farina  only  indulges  in  the  delicate  oil  of  neroli. 
One  migbt  almost  side  with  Tiaballe,   who  ob- 
jects   to     Katie's     perfumed     unpleasantness. 
Young  ladies  and  gentlemen  who  read  novels 
will  learn  their  lesson  from  this  episode,   and 
ponder  on  an  accident  which  forever  divides  the 
fates  of  two  people.    A  letter  from  Kate,  sent 
to  Walter,  in  which  she  expresses  her  doubts  as 
to  "whether  the  twain  were  made  for  one  another, 
which  letter  Laballe  answers,  decides  the  mat- 
ter, and  Katie's  first  love  receives  a  crushing 
blow.    Misfortune  then  comes  to  Katie's  father, 
and  Mr.  Haviland  dies  a  beggar.      Mr.   Glynn 
now  proffers  his  hand,  and  though   Kate  does 
not  love  him,  still  hankering  after  her  first  love, 
she   eventually   marries   him.     Glynn,    by    a 
manly,     yet   tender,    straightforward    course, 
makes  Kate  love  him,  and  the  book  closes  leav- 
ing both   reader   and   Kate  just  a  little  bit  in 
doubt^hether  first  love  ia  the  best  or  not,  after 
alL 

Of  course  the  situation  is  not  novel,  for 
there  is  nothing  new,  romance-wise,  under  the 
sun ;  still  the  idea  ia  prettily  worked  out,  and  in 
a  certain  measure  artistically.  Gail  Hamilton, 
without  being  over  paragraphic,  does,  how- 
ever, write  in  what  maybe  called  "skreeds." 
If,  in  journalistic  work,  the  desideratum 
seems  to  be  a  certain  clearness  of  style,  and 
a  determination  to  keep  at  or  on  the  subject 
under  discussion,  once  that  newspaper  people 
have  the  opportunity  to  leave  the  beaten  track 
and  go  into  romance,  they  revel  in  the  enjoy- 
ment of  their  liberty,  and  take  undue  literary 
flings.  AH  topics  are  seized.  Every  bough 
of  the  tree  in  the  orchard,  no  matter 
whether  the  fruit  be  ripe  or  unripe, 
la  plucked,  and  an  accmuulation  of  very  mis- 
cellaneous and  indigestible  products  is  the  re- 
stilt.  Why  should  Kate  and  her  husband  di- 
verge into  astronomical  dissertations  and  the 
possibility  of  other  worlds  ?  How  their  future 
connubial  felicity  can  be  brought  about  by  specu- 
lations as  to  Saturn's  rings  no  man  nor  woman 
can  telL  Into  the  olla  podrida  of  life,  bits  of 
orreries,  and  shreds  of  tattered  theologies,  no 
amount  of  cooking  will  ever  render  savory  or 
palatable.  If  the  opening  chapters  of  the  book 
are  natural  and  pleasing,  lots  of  unnecessary 
cleverness  which  Glynn  gives  mouth  to  are  sug- 
gestive of  real  crazn.  Here  and  there  from 
Katie  there  comes  little  bits  of  love  which  glow 
like  hot  coals,  and  encroach  on  the  domain  of 
passion,  for  when  a  clever  woman  writes  about 
love  she  has  inapirations  which  a  man  is  inca- 
pable of  representing.  Kate  has  a  way  of  bur- 
rowing her  pretty  head  into  her  husband's 
Taistcoat,  and  on  one  occasion  talks  as  follows : 

*'  *  I  wish.  O,  I  sorely  wish,'  hiding  her  face  in  the 
■mple  provision  made  for  such  contingencies,  *  I  had 
aever  kissed — any  one — but  you.'  " 

Host  men,  it  strikes  us,  would  not  hanker 
ifter  such  knowledge,  and  such  declarations  oh 
the  part  of  women  would  be  eccentrici- 
ties of  contrition  which  could  willingly 
be  spared.  Little  clevernesses,  snappy 
things,  pop  their  heads  up  now  and 
then  through  the  text  and  mar  it.  A 
woman  ia  said  to  have  preternatural  clearness, 
and  inexhaustible  kindness,  "  so,  between  the 
two,  the  takes  the  curve  of  piquant  popularity." 
A  point  is  made  on  the  ^expression  that  a  boy 
ean  be  taken  "  by  the  scruff*  of  the  neck  and 
pitched  into  the  street,"  whereas  you' cannot 
treat  girls  in  the  same  way,  because  they  have 
no  Bcruft— but  only  a  "  ruff."  Gail  Hamilton  is 
over-fond  of  "  bringing  people  into  line  "  and 
"  pnahing  things  into  line."  It  is  unfortunate 
that  more  than  once  a  really  pleasant  and  bril- 
liant page  Is  hurt  by  a  half -slang  expression. 
What  there  is  about  the  book  is  a  certain  ease 
of  manner,  a  rollicking  humor,  and  a  dashing 
freedom,  which  will  be  sure  to  commend  it. 
Qsil  Hamilton,  in  her  preface,  says  she  was 
mowed  up  for  some  weeks,  and  hence  the  book. 
Without  wishing.the  authoress  the  imprison- 
ment of  an  Arctic  Winter,  more  seclusion 
•  and  mors  work  might  have  singularly  improved 
the  book.  Perhaps,  like  Paschal,  Gail  Hamil- 
ton "  had  no  time  to  be  shorter."  Firtt  Love  is 
B»$t  ia  by  no  means  "  the  calf  "  Gail  H^am- 
Uton  would  deem  us  think  it,  for  she  has  sacri- 
ficed on  the  altar  of  romance-  quite  a  lusty  and 
Iriiky  yearling.

MassafehusettS  Hlstorieal  Socle^,  and  those  to 
and  £rom  Wolcott,  from  the  Wolcott  manu-

Washington  and  Hamilton,  copied  from  the 
originals  in  the  national  archives. 

George  Cabot  entered  Harvard  College  in 
176G,  but  owing  to  pecuniary  reasons  staid 
only  two  years.  Then  he  took  to  the  sea,  and  In 
workinghisown  way  as  Captain  and  merchant 
acquired  habits  ot  self-reliance  that  never  de- 
serted him.  The  name  of  Cabot  ia  given  by 
Stow,  in  the  Chronicle  of  England,  as  that  of  one 
of  the  gentleman  who  came  into  England  with 
William  the  Conqueror.  The  New-England 
family  came  from  Jersey,  which  the  biographer 
thittks  was  the  original  home  of  the  race.  The 
name  is  found  in  France,  England,  Belgium, 
and  Italy,  and  we  are  given  to  un- 
derstand that  the  Jersey  stock  was 
in  numbers  and  arrangement  not  un- 
like a  Scottish  clan ;  persons  of  all  classes 
in  the  community  possessed  a  common  name 
and  common  origin,  but  beyond  this  there  was 
no  relationship  among  them.  The  test  of  the 
relationship  of  Cabots  In  different  CQtmtries  is 
the  coat  of  arms,  which  decorates  the  cover  of 
tnis  book.  The  device  is  three  fishes,  or,  in  the 
Jersey  phrase,  ""three  chabots."  This  was  a 
part  of  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  Chabot  family 
of  Poitou,  famous  in  French  history. 

This  descendant  of  an  old  Norman  stock,  ac- 
cording to  the  archteology  of  greater  or  less 
accuracy  which  we  find  here,  was  In  the  United 
States  Senate  from  1T.&  to  1796,  when  he 
resigned  his  seat.  He  was  a  staunch  Federalist, 
and  eager  in  the  battle'.  Letters  from  many 
persons  of  note  testify  to  the  respect  enter- 
tained for  his  opinion.  In  1798  he  declined 
the  Secretarysliip  of  the  Xavy,  and  his  life 
from  that  time  on  is  to  be  traced  politically 
through  his  correspondence  with  various  active 
politicians  on  affairs  of  moment  to  the  nation. 
He  died  in  1823.  Peter  Pariey  writes  that 
among  the  members  of  the  Hartford  Conven- 
tion, George  Cabot,  the  President,  was  the 
most  imposing.  He  was  over  six  feet  in  height, 
broad-shouldered,  and  of  a  manly  step ; 
his  hair  .was  white,  for  he  was  past  60  ;  his  eye 
blue,  his  complexion  slightly  florid.  He  was.  in 
fact,  Washingtonian  in  his,  whole  air  and  bear- 
ing, as  was  proper  for  one  who  was  Washing- 
ton's friend.  Daniel  Webster  testified  in  New- 
York,  at  a  New-England  dinner  given  in  1843, 
that  Cabot  was  not  only  trusted  by  Washington, 
but  consulted  on  all  occasions  connected  with 
the  administration  ot  the  finances,  the  estab- 
lishment ot  the  Treasury  Department,  the  im- 
position of  the  first  rates  of'  duty,  and  with 
everything  that  belonged  to  the  commercial 
system  of  the  United  States.  The  book  forms 
a  handsome  octavo  of  CIC  pages.

GLEANmGS  FROMTHE  MAES 


MRS,    ARTHUR.      By  .Mr-*.     Oucenxxt.      iCew-Tork : 
RiJCPE&  3b  BaoTSESS.  1B77. 

Mrs.  Oliphant  may  bo  sai(?  to  occupy  a 
fairish  position,  in  the  nick  of  English  romance- 
writers.  If  not  nncourteous  to  the  lady,  by 
fiirther  carrying  ont  ihe  sporting  simile,  Mrs. 
Oliphant  is  among  the  second-rate  ones.  If 
there  are  no  brilliant  dashes  of  speed,  a  certain 
amount  of  endurance,  a  steady  jog-trot,  and  a 
persistence  are  Mrs.  OUphant's  redeeming 
qualities.  Such  a  strong  publication  as  the 
ComhiU  Jfagazine  is  the  track  over  which  Mrs. 
Oliphant  ambles,  and,  entered  under  the  name' 
of*  Carita,"  the  authoress  at  the  present  moment 
is  taking  another  long  spin,  and  will  undoubt- 
edly, in.  time,  reach  her  Jlnis,  and  a  twenty- 
fourth  or  a  forty-second  raco  or  ^orel 
will  be  added  to  her  performances.  At  best 
Mrs.  OUphant's  norels,  from  her  having  writ/ 
ten  perhaps  too  much,  scarcely  rise  to-day 
above  the  level  of  the  commonplace.  It  is  one 
of  the  misfortunes  of  literary  workers,  no  mat- 
ter how  conscientious  they  may  be.  that  their 
persistency,  their  constant  appearance,  in  time 
fags  out  the  public.  It  is  only  given  to  superla- 
tive, inexhaustible  talent  to  write  book  aft^ 
book,  and  to  hold  a  reading  world  under  the 
thrall  of  genius.  Certainly  Mrs,  OUphant's  pro- 
ductions never  did  possess  any  such  divine  at- 
tributes. Such  Uttle  spurts  which  ilrs.!  Oli- 
phant once  indulged  in,  apparent  her©  and 
there  in  her  early  books,  as  Tiu  Chronicles 
of  Carlingford,  have  all  died  out  In 
a  monotonou-s.  humdrum  kiud  of  way.  without 
much  perception  of  true  art,  couched  in  unex- 
ceptionable English,  utterly  wanting  in  g  >  and 
spirit,  Mrs.  OUphant's  novels  proceed.  If  Eng- 
lish readers  are  satlsliod,  we  suppo.so  we  Ameri- 
cans should  be  contented.  The  plot  of  Jfr^.  Ar-. 
thitr  presents  the  not  uncommon  story  \  of  a 
young  man  of  good  family.  Arthur  Curtia,  son 
of  a  Baronet,  who  marries  Nancy  Bate*,  wjho  is 
the  daughter  of  a  t^-coUector,  the  father  ;»}me- 
what  given  to  hot  rum  and  water.  Nancy  is  a 
shrew  and  a  vixen,  with  all  the  charactoristics 
of  a  low-bred  woman.  Kancy  is  decidedly  hot- 
headed, and  not  only  threatens  people  with  phys- 
ical punishment,  but  does  more  than  once,  yi- 
rago-like.  punch  those  who  incite  her  ire.  ^ancy. 
to  add  to  her  charms,  is  entirely  uneducated, 
and,  with  curious  tergiversation,  glories  at  times 
in  the  vulgarity  of  her  own  surroundings,  and 
then  again  has  insane  longings  to  enter  into 
that  higher  realm  to  which  her  husband  be- 
longs. Sir  John  Curtis  and  Lady  Curtis  I  make 
advances,  but  Nancy  behaves  outrageously,  in- 
sulting the  whole  family.  Arthur  Curtis,  is  a 
weak  spooney,  wanting  ia  moral  force,  and 
most  readers  would  have  so  Uttle  sympathy 
with  him  in  the  light  of  an  outraged  husband, 
as  to  state  that  "  it  served  him  right."  At  last 
matters  get  so  bad  that  somehow  or 
other,  not  very  clearly  explained, 
Arthur         and         Nancy         separate.  Just 

here  Mrs.  OUphant  finds  it  convenient,  in 
about  15  lines,  to  make  away  with  the  entire 
Vulgar  family.  In  a  single  sentence  the  nu- 
merous Bates  family,  rum  and  water  and  all. 
are  entirely  wiped  out  of  existence,  Bates'_pa/er, 
Bates  mater,  and  the  brothers  and  sisters.  Most 
of  them  die,  and  those  that  don't  go  to  New- 
Zealand.  This  may  be  convenient  for  the  au- 
thoress, but  is  a  cataclysm  of  a  most  unartistic 
character.  Having  thus  cleared  the  scenes  of 
vulgarity,  Nancy,  who  has  remained  In  Eng- 
land under  the  name  of  Mrs.  Arthur,  hires  a 
Uttle  cottage  at  a  convenient  distance  from 
Sir  John  Curtis'  mansion.  Thero  Nancy  edu- 
cates herself.  Her  system  of  tuition,  it  miist 
be  confessed.  Is  pecuUarly  meagre.  The  young 
woman  goes  through  %  course  of  chalk: draw- 
ing and  the  preparation  of  Autumn  leaves. 
Fortified  with  her  sketch-book  and  ?iort(^ 
sicctiSf  which  must  have  imparted  to  Nancy  an 
overflowing  supply  of  human  knowledge.  Sir 
John,  Lady  Curtis,  and  Lucy  Curtis,  Arthur's 
sister,  each  and  aU,  at  different  times,  and  un- 
tiikn'own  to  each  other.  faU  in  love  with  Nancy. 
Matters  having  gone  on  thus  swimmingly,  Ar- 
thur Curtis  comes  back  at  the  right;  time, 
and  Nancy,  fainting  at  the  precise  moment, 
(though  rebelUous  to  the  last,)  has  happiness 
thrust  on  her.  The  reader  is  somewhat  left  in 
doubt  as  to  whether  after  aU  Mrs.  Nancy  Cur- 
tis wox^d  not  have  made  a  most 
uncomfortable  wife.  Mrs.  OHphant,  in 
the  book,  makes  frequent  references 
to  Major  Pendennis,  and  the  methods  the  clevar 
Major  would  have  employed  under  aimilar  cir- 
cumstances, which  reflections  might  have  been 
spared,  as  they  rather  tend  to  show  how  like  a 
colossus  Thackeray  towers  over  the  lady  who 
wrote  Mrs.  Arthur.  In  many  respects  the  book 
is  not  pleasing,  on  account  of  a  tinge  of  snob- 
bery which  pervades  it  That  ever  constant 
under-plot,  the  st^xeotvped  double  love  business, 
which  ia  the  foil  to  the  leading  event,  is  palp- 
ably weak  and  puny.  Mrs.  Arthur,  we  are

sumetliing  of  the  refinement  of  humor  which  belongs 
to  Charles  Lamb,  and  alwavs  gossips  pleasantly  over 
his  subject.  His  new  book  can  hardly  fall  of  popu- 
larity, and  will  be  an  appropriate  companion  to  his 
Yesterdays  with  Authors. 

—The  death  of  Frederick  Wilhelm  HacklUnder 
removes  from  Germany  one  of  the  few  novelists  she 
posessos  who  describe  life  as  It  is  and  not  as  It 
ought  to  be.  There  remains  Victor  Sheffel,  Gnstave 
FreitK?,  Spielhagen,  and  Marlitt,  who  can  write 
readable  novels,  but  Hackliinder,  who  proda.'ed  GO 
works  in  all  surxwissed  every  one  of  them  lutho" 
healthy  action  of  his  first  novel,  which  was  also  his 
best.  It  was  written  when  he  was  25  years  of  age, 
and  its  success  Induced  him  to  alopt  literature  as  a 
profesiion.  His  characters  in  this  novel  are  as  wall 
known  in  Germany  as  Mr.  Pickwick  and  Mrs.  Gamp 
are  among  English  and  American  readers.  Such 
types  as  Major  Tucksen,  Capt.  Feind,  and  Feodor 
Dore.  the  poetic  Corporal,  remain  instinct  with  Ufe, 
in  spite  of  the  changes  the  Prassian  Army  has  gone 
through  since  the  date  of  their  appearance.  His  sub- 
sequent novels  hardly  f  iilfiUod  the  exceptional  prom- 
ise of  the  first.  Ho  was  a  re-Tular  contributor  to  the 
German  press,  and  in  1359  began  with  E-lmund 
Zollor  the  well-known  and  successful  Ulnstratea 
weekly  Veber  Land  und  Meer.  He  was  bom  iu  181G, 
and  like  Dr.  Schliemann  began  life  bohind  the  coun- 
ter, not  a  i^ocer'a  but  a  draper' s,-in  Elbefeld. 

— ^Lee  &  Shepart^ave  just  ready  an  im^wrtant 
educational  work  entitled  Remtniac^ncee  of  Friedrick 
Froebel,  by  B.  Von  Marenhol:;-Bulow.  Proebel's 
kindei^rten  system  for  teaching  with  children  has 
recently  takeii  a  new  start  in  this  country,  and  under 
the  auspices  of  Mrs.  Horace  Mann,  the  translator  of 
this  volume,  and  of  Miss  EUzaljeth  Peabody,  a 
veteran  worker  for  the  Improvement  of  our  systems 
of  education.  Is  likely  to  be  generaUy  introduced. 
Any  one  who  desires  to  Inform  himself  in  regard  to 
the  details  of  tha  system,  whether  slightly  or  fully, 
will  find  all  be  wants  at  the  publishing  house  of  E. 
Stelger,  "So.  24  Frankfort-street,  in  this  City,  but 
this  volume  of  Iteminiecences  wiU  specially  meet  the 
lieeds  of  those  who  desire  to  know  how  the  great 
educator  himself  taught  villi^e  «hddreu,  and  what 
his  conversations  about  his  principles  with  the  writer 
and  with  prominent  educators  in  Germany  were. 
They  contain  many  of  his  best  sayings,  and  specially 
those  characteristic  utterances  wMch  reveal  the 
spirit  and  purpose  of  his  system.  While  the  book 
loccaslonally  overflows  into  other  departments,  giving 
some  new  views  of  politics  and  religion.  It  is  a  very 
.full  statement  of- Proebel's  opinions  ou  education, 
Jandof  his  special  system,  and  wiU  be  found  to  possess 
the  charm  and  fascination  of  an  autobiography.  In 
an  appendix  Mrs.  Emily  Shireff,  President  of  the 
Froebel  Society  of  London,  contributes  a  short 
biographical  sketch  of  Froebel's  Ufe.

brought  home  a  cornae,  beyig  greatly  reduced  in 
flesh,  havlhg  died  of  typhus  lever.  I  will  relate 
another  child's  dream.  "A  little  boy,  4  years  old, 
dreamed  he  went  Luto  a  certain  room,  and  saw  a 
man's  head  lying  on  the  floor.  Some  time  after  a 
man  died  in  the  same  room  after  a  lingering  illness. 

The  dreams  of  some  persons  are  not  reliable.  Per- 
sons having  weak  minds  and  crooked  ways  coul*not 
be  expected  to  dream  straight.  The  general  unbelief 
In  dreams  comes  nudnly  from  this  cause.  When  we 
moved  to  IlUnois  my  husband  wished  to  purchase  a 
span  of  horses.  The  result  was,  old  nags,  in  various 
sta^s  of  decay,  were  brotight  and  represented  as 
sound  and  without  blenlish,  In  every  instance  I  de- 
tected what  ailed  them,  and  iheir  peculiar  traits.  To 
.make  ft  long  story  short,  I  will  merely  relate  one 
■'dream.  I  imagined  myself  sitting  In  the  house, 
when  a  woman  entered  without  ceremony. 
She  held  her  head  slightly  back,  and  I  noticed 
wrinkles  extending  from  her  ears  to  her  eves, 
which  gave  her  a  look  of  great  snfferiuR.  I  asked 
her  what  ailed  her.  She  said,  '  I  have  been  afflicted 
with  a  pain  in  the  back  of  my  neck.  They  have 
rubbed  aU  kinds  of  strong  stuff  on  It.  but  nothing 
does  it  any  good.'  She  said  a  great  deal  which  is  not 
necessary  to  mention.  The  next  day  about  noon  a 
man  drove  up  to  the  eate  with  a  span  of  mares, 
whlchhe  wished  to  sell' for  $1.50  apiece.  My  hus- 
band examined  thi&m,  and  could  see  nothing  amiss, 
but  said  he  would  not  take  them  until  I  looked  at 
fhem.  As  I  walked  from  the  house  to  the  gate,  I 
noticed  one  of  the  mares  held  her  head  back, 
had  her  ears  cropped,  and  also  wrinkles  extending 
ftom  her  ears  to  her  eveS.  I  bid  the  man  the  time  of 
day,  and  then  said :  'There  Is  something  the  matter 
with  tlmt  off  mare.'  As  soon  as  I  said  that  he  gave  a 
sudden  start,  as  though  something  had  bit  him.  I  f^t 
certain  I  had  hit  the  nail  on  the  head,  so  I  said : 

•  Husband,  go  amund  and  loose  the  collar  and  see  if 
there  is  not  something  the  matter  with  the  back  of 
her  neck.'  As  soon  as  he  touched  the  harness  she 
kicked  like  vengeance.  At  this  the  man  seemed  to 
recover  from  his  fright,  end  said :  *  Oh.  don't  do  that ! 
I  have  been  rubbins  strong  stuff  on  her  neck,  and  she 
Is  afraid  yon  are  going  to  rub  some  on.'    After  the 

culiar  WHS  removed  it  was  evident  she  had  an  incur- 
able disease ;  and  her  neck  was  minus  a  pound  of 

flesh."

AN  EXCITIXG  KIGHT  ADVENTURE  IN  A  COUN- 
TRY VILUA.GE — THE    UPROAR    ONE  MAN'S 
CRIMES  OCCASIONED. 
From  the  FllenviUe  (X.   T.)  Journal,  Aug.  3. 
Mr.  Wilbur  J.  Deuman,  of  the  Arm  of  Divine, 
DuBol8&  Co.,  the   hero   of   the  Morsston  burglar 
fights,  was  awakened  at  midnight  on  Thursday  last 
by  the  tramp  of  a  horse.    A  moment'^Ustening  con- 
\inced  him   that   the   sound   came  from  the  bam 
near   the    store    where    he    slept,  and  that  some 
one      was      leading      the      horse      out      of      the 
bam.      To    jump    out    of    bed,    seize    his    gun — 
a  double-barreled  shot-ijuu,  each  barrel  loaded  with 
seven  buckshot — and  nm  to  the  window,  wivs  the 
work  of  "an  instant.    As  he  looked  from  the  window 
a   horseman   dashed  past  at  full  speed, 
threw   forward .  the   gun 


by  so  doing,  become  a  part  of  &e  stone  Std^  and 
Inseparable  therefrom.  Consequently,  the  marbling 
done  by  this  process  will  remain  permanently,  and 
cailnot  nossibly  be  removed,  changed,  ox  destroyed, 
either  by  rain,  snow,  frost,  or  heat.  The  work  on 
buildings  c«n  be  done  at  a  comparatively  small  cost, 
and  the  marble  or  granite  so  protlucpd  will  not  only  ap- 
pear as  natural,  but  will  anpear  more  beautiful  stllL  as 
being  more  distinct  and  nch  in  color.  When  stained 
or  spotted  by  rain  and  dnst,  it  can  be  waslied  and 
cleaned  so  to  appear  as  new;  and.  Instead  of  fading 
or  being  darkened  by  age,  as  is  the  case  with  ratural 
marble  exposed  to  air  and  rain,  it  improves  by  the 
same  exposure.  The  surface  of  the  stone  thus  mar- 
bled will  ultimately  become  as  hard  as  flint..  At  the 
same  time  it  will  be  able  to  withstand  a  very  high  de- 
»af  heat  and  iire  without  cracking."

and   blazed   away,    then

taught      him      to^     keep 


seixed       .      .  .  . 

ence  had  taught  him  to  keep  near  him 
for  an  alarm,  and  mn  down  stairs.  Here 
was  chained  a  bulldog,  one  of  the  most  ferocious 
of  his  kind.  Denman  slipped  the  chain,  threw  open 
the  side  door  of  the  store,  veiled.  "Go  for  him,  old 
fellow."  and  the  old  fellow  did  go  for  him.  The  doa 
evidently  knew  what  was  wanted,  for  he  bounded 
over  the  fence,  and  made  straight  across  the  fields. 
in  a  course  which  would  lead  him  to  the  road  where 
it  turned,!  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  store. 

Denmrih  hurricl  after  the  dog,  .ind  saw  iu  the  road 
100  vards  distant  the  fi^iTe«  of  the  man  and  horse. 
He  fired  the  other  barrel  of  the  gun.  which  he  still 
carried,  and  was  hurrying  on,  when  it  oc<;nrred  to 
him  that  he  was  In  a  poor  plight  for  &  fight,  with  no 
clothes  to  speak  of.  and  an  empty  gun  and  a  tin 
horn  as  weapons.  So  he  turned  back.  As  he  tumeil 
he  saw  that  the  lumber  piles  behind  the  depot  were 
on  fire.  Benman  blew  his  horn,  and  in  an 
Instant  Mr.  Preston  DuBols  came  hurrying 
from  his  house,  and  soon  the  inhabitants  of  the  lit- 
tle town  were  out  in  force.  Two  fires  were  discov- 
ered, one  in  the  lumber  behind  the  freight  hon-se. 
another  in  the  pile  beliind  the  depot.  The 
former  was  soon  extinguished,  but  the  latter  was  too 
far  advanced.  AU  that  could  be  done  was  to  keep  it 
Irom  spreading  to  the  neighboring  lumber  piles  and 
dwellings.  As  it  was,  tho  depot,  eattng-hoa-^e,  water 
tank,  and  about  700.000  feet  of  Inmber  were  burned. 

While  the  citizens  were  all  busy  fighting  tire  the 
bulldog  came  trotting  bat-k  Into  the  crowd.  He  hnd 
a  welt  over  one  eye,  a  cnt  on  hL^  forehead,  and  his 
lieail  -rffts  besmeared  with  blood  evidently  not  bis 
own.  The  people  ran  when  they  saw  the  beast,  for 
lie  is  the  terror  of  the  nel;;hboriiood.  and  so  one  of 
the  clerks  chained  him  In  the  store.  Hiif  an  hour 
afterward  the  stolen  mare  came  slowly  walking 
back  with  broken  bridle,  and  a  ^'ound  ou  her 
side,  evidently  made  by  tho  teeth  •■  the  dog. 
The  fire  was  raging,  an  1  no  one  fhoueht  of 
leaving  then,  but  next  momiug  search  was 
made,  and  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  store 
was  found  a  place  on  the  road  where  there  had  evi- 
dentlv  been  a  terrific  strumle.  The  tracks  of  horse. 
dog,  and  man  were  mingled.  Then  in  the  slab  fence 
which  lines  the  road  was  found  a  place  where  some 
large  body  had  crawled  through,  breaking  the  thin 
edges  of  the  planks  in  doing  bo.  On  one  of  these 
edges  were  found  a  few  hairs,  as  of  a  man's  beard, 
gray  in  color,  with  indications  that  they  had  been 
dyed.  Beyond  these,  nothing  was  found.  The  In- 
cendiary and.  horse-thief  had  escaped  but  how  he 
managed  to  get  away  from  the  scivn^e  bulldog,  and 
who  he  is,  are  mysteries  not  yet  solved  in  Morsatou. 

/^ARCITT  OF  LABOR  IX  LOTTISIAXA. 
The  New-Orieans    Tiines  of   July  31   says  : 

"Recent  reports  from  the  country  diwlosS  the  fact 
that  throughout  both  tho  sogar  and  cotton  growing 
areas  of  Louisiana,  there  is  great  scarcity  of  labor, 
veryfew  planters  haviug  secured  their  full  comple- 
ment of  itands.  The  scarcity  is  not  so  much  imme- 
diate as  prospective,  experience  demonstrating  that 
it  requires  a  smaller  number  of  men  to  plant  and 
cultivate  ifh&n  it  does  to  har\-est.  Both  the  sn^ar 
and  cotton  crops  have  been  'laid  by,'  and  the  sugar 
planter  now  has  little  else  to  do  besides  getting  out 
his  wood  for  the  grinding  Season,  and  overhauling  his 
machinery.  In  another  month,  however,  cot- 
ton will  have  fully_  matured,  picking  will 
commence,  and  during  that  season  every 
available  man  and  boy  will  be  brought  into 
requisition.  It  is  estimated  that  on  nearly  every 
plantation  a  large  .amount  of  cotton  Is  permitted  to 
rot  in  the  field,  for  the  Bimple  re.-uson  that  a  snfS- 
cient  number  of  hands  cannot  be  secured  to  pick  it. 
It  is  estimated  that  on  some  places  33 1-3  per  cent,  of 
the  entire  crop  is  lost  in  this  way,  particularly  if  the 
yield  be  heavy.  An  average  hand  can  pick  during  a 
working  day  300  pounds  of  seed  cotton,  jielding  100 

rounds  of  Unt.  which,  at  10  cents  a  pound,  would  be 
10.  By  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  addition  of  10 
hands  during  a  month,  estimating  their  time  at  20 
workin:?  days,  would  add  $2,000  to  the  gross 
earnings  of  the  year,  and  at  the  same  time  in- 
volve no  cost  excepting  their  wa^es.  It  Is  a 
matter  of  some  surprise  tliat  planters  who 
have,  of  coarse,  suffered  this  loss  through  a  series  of 
years,  have  made  no  effort  to  remedy  the  evil  when 
practical  relief  in  the  promises  is  wit  bin  the  grasp  of 
all.  For  several  years  tho  Western  States  have  been 
filled  with  crowds  of  migratory  harvesters,  who  an- 
nually take  off  the  crops  in  that  region,  commencing 
early  in  the  season  in  Southern  Illinois,  .where  th  o 
grain  first  ripens,  and  as  the  season  advances,  moving 
northward.  By  this  process  they  find  constant  em- 
ployment throuah  the  entire  Summer,  commencing 
in  tlie  vicinity  ot  Cairo  in  tho  latter  part  of  June,  and 
ending  their  labors  far  up  in  WLscona'm,  Iowa,  or 
iUnnesota,  some  time  in  September.  Usually  the 
men  are  energetic,  industrious,  and  in  the  main 
honest.  It  is  estimated  that  10,000  or  15,000  farm 
laborers  are  engaged  in  this  occupation  everj'  year  ; 
bat  suppose  that  just  as  their  season  terminated 
an  effort  were  made  to  secure  their  services  in  tho 
South.  In  September,  at  the  time  when  they  are 
idle,  our  cotton  U  ready  for  picking.  Ten  thousand 
of  these  men  in  our  fields  would  contribute  to  the 
aggregate  yield  1,000.000  pounds  of  cotton  lint  a 
day,  or  in  two  mouths  115.555  bales.  Dnring  the 
succeeding  two  months  they  could  find  constant  em- 
plovment  in  the  cane  fields,  and  be  prepared  to  re- 
turn to  their  homes  at  Christmas  after  seven  months 
of  nearly  constant  labor  In  the  field.  There  is  little 
question  that  to  one  of  this  class  no  more  varied. 
agreeable,  nor  remunerative  theatre  of  industry  could 
be  presented.  It  Is  certainly  one  which  would  afford 
all  the  advantages  of  travel  enjoyed  bv  the  average 
tourist,  and  effective  assistance  to  the  planter  at  tnis 
critical  time  of  the  year  would  accomplish  much 
toward  solving  the  labor  problem,  and  rendering  the 
cultivation  of  the  soil  a  certain  road  to  wealth."

A  DREADFUL  CASUALTY. 

SEVEN     MEN     PRECIPITATED     INTO     A     HOT 
FURNACE — TWO    ARE    BURNT  TO  DEATH 
AND     TWO      OTHERS     SUPPOSED     TO     BE 
FATALLY  INJURED, 
Prom  the  Pittsburg  Commercial,  Aug.  4. 
A  dreadful  accident  happened   at  the  Lucy 
Furnace  of  Carnegie  &  Co.,  situated  on  the  Allegheny 
River,  near  Fiftieth-street,  yesterday  forenoon,  which 
resulted  In  the  burning  to  death  of  two  men,  Julius 
Haydcn  and  Michael  Cuslck,  and  the  injtuy  of  five 
others,    Uro    of  whom    will     probably    die     from 
their    injuries.      The    fire     in     one    of    the     fur- 
naces was    allowed    to    go    out    for    the   ptirposo 
of     relihing     one     of      the     cupolas.      Ten    men 
were  detailed  for  this  duty,  and'  they  commenced 
befprethe  furnace  had  time  to  cool  off.    Indeed,  tlie 
bottom  of  the   furnace   was  still  re*l  hot.  and  con- 
tained a  mass  of  clinkers,  as  well  as  broken  fire  bri'-ks 
which  had  fallen  from  above.    The  men  were  work- 
ing upon  a  scaffold,  which  had  been  erected  noar  the 
top  of  the  furnace,  and  were  removing  the  old  lininix. 
lca\-ing  a  wall  as  they  progressed  downward  thick 
enough  to  stand  upon.    The  heat  that  came  up  frmu 
below  was  so  intense  that  the  men  could  not  remjiin 
continuously  at  work,  having  to  go  out  at  intervals 
to   cool   off   and  get   fresh  .air.      While   tiie   men 
were    at    work,    shortly    before    1 1    o'clock,    the 
scaffold  gave   way,  and  seven  of   the  ten  men  were 
precipitated   some  35   or  40  feet,  upon   the  jagged 
mass  of  hot  dlnkers.    The  other  three   men  had  for- 
tunately l>een  standingupon  the  wall,  and   immedi- 
ately gave  the  alarm.    The  only  apparent  way  of  es- 
cape -ASS  out  through  the  top  of  the  furnace.    AVhile 
a  rope  was  beimc  procured,  to  let  down  to  tho  burn- 
imr  and  suffocating  men.  their  cries  for  help  could  be 
heard,  and  the   most  Intense  excitement  prevailed. 
The  fall,  in    itself,  was    dre.adful    enoujch  :    but   tlie 
knowledge  that  a  portion  of  the  material  itself  was 
almost  red   hot,   filled  the  minds   of   all  with  the 
fearful  apprehension  that  the  men  who  had  fallen 
would  be  litemlly  roasted  to  death.     The  horror  of 
the   situation  was  increased  when  tiie  material  o? 
which  the  scaffold  had  been  constructed  besran  to 
blaze,  and   sent   uo  a  blinding  and  stiflins  smoke. 
The  assembled  workmen,  almost  frantic  with  e.^cite- 
ment,  urged  the  manager  to  throw  water  into  the 
fmnace,  bvt  he  knew  that  as  the  walls  were  yet  hot, 
water  would  only  add  to  the  danger,  and  cause  the 
death  of  any  who  might  be  alive.    Some  of  the  work- 
men who  were   outside  found   that   although  the 
place    was    sforching    hot,    it     was     possible    to 
assist  tho'je  Inside.     They  were  helped  out.  one  by 
one,  until  five  were  removed.     Bv  this  time  the  burn- 
ing wood  of  the  scaffold  had  nc.irly  died  out.  and  tho 
smoke  ha\ing   cleared  away,   a  better  oDportunity 
was  had  to  secure  the  bodJeT*  of  the  two  unfortunate 
men  who  had  perished.     They  were  soou  removed, 
iind  presented  a  most  shocking  spectacle.     The  Ijndy 
of  Hayden  was  burned  to  a  crisp  in  some  portions, 
while  Cnsick's  nose,  and  henils  were  burned  off.  Hny.

A  COXTEST  TTITJI  A  MADMAX. 

TERRIBLE  EN'COUNTER  IN  A  CORN-FIELD  WITH 
A  Ll'XATIC  ARMED  WITH  A  RAZOR. 
From  the  Adrian  (Mich.)  Times.  Aug.  2. 
William  Taylor,  a  resident  of  Raisin  Town- 
ship, was  brought  to  the  jail  in  this  city  on  the  after- 
noon train  from  Tecumseh  ye.sterday.  "He  w.is  in  an 
alarming  state  of  mad  frenzy,  and  OS^er  Morritt,  of 
Tecumseh,  had  to  call  inconsiderable  assLstnu're  in 
getting  the  madman  off  the  train  and  into  a  hack. 
Nearly  all  the  clothes  were  torn  from  the  lunatic's 
back  in  the  operation.  Taylor  is  anEngUshman.  and 
has  resided  in  Raisin,  where  he  owns  a  farm  contain-, 
ing  200  acres,  for  several  years.  He  has  le.l  the  life  ' 
of  a  miserly  hermit.  i)eing  unmarried  and  living 
alone.  Some  years  ago.  after  hartng  a  fit,  he  was 
temiKi't^rily  insane,  but  since  that  time  he  has  btK^n 
ronsidered'  as  sane  as  numberless  men  are.  The 
present  attack  has  Ijeen  on  him  for  about  four  d-tys. 
and  his  friends  attribute  it  to  overwork  in  the  heatt-d 
harvest  field.  He  has  been  out  of  his  head,  but 
seemingly  not  dangerous,  for  three  or  fu-.ir  u.iys. 
Yesterday  he  went  over  into  the  corn-field  of  Mr. 
Newton  'Br\"an,  where  a.  young  man  of  about  20 
vears  wa.":  at  work,  and  asked  for  a  drink.  It  seems 
be  had  been  in  the  haliit  of  coinp  there  for  cider,  a 
jiiij  of  winch  was  u-'^ually  kept  iu  the  field.  The  boy 
told  iiim  there  was  nothijxg  but  water  there,  and  that 
the  ju:;  Wii.s  at  the  other  side  Of  the  field.  Taylor  in- 
sisted that  tbe  ymns  man  should  go  along  with  him 
to  get  it.  A'l'onllngly  thw  two  str.rted.  and  when 
about  half  way  acro.ss  tlie  fit-Id  Taylor  grabbed  bis 
companion  by  the  coat  collar,  and  muttered  :  "ru 
fix  vou  before  wo  get  through."  The  young  man. ' 
witli  tiie  utmost  coolness,  replied  :  "  I  am.  not  afraid  ; 
I  have  never  injured  you,  and  you  won't  hurt  me.'" 

Arriving  at  the  fence,  the  liinntlc  seized  tlie  yoang 
roan  by  the  hair,  and  jerking  back  his  head,  pulled 
out  a  razor  and  yelled,  "  Draw  In  your  breath,  your 
tnue  has  come."  Just  as  the  raani.ic  was  drawiut; 
back  the  keen-edged  razor  for  tho  awf-jl  strike  that 
must  have  severed  his  victim's  head  from  hU  body, 
the  youn:^  man  struck  him  a  blow  in  the  face  and 
leaped  over  the  fence,  with  the  now  IhorouglUy  in- 
fariated  mnniac.  who  is  very  powerful  even  when 
sane,  at  his  heel«.  In  the  next  field  a  struegle  en- 
sued. It  wiis  life  or  death  for  the  young  laborer, 
and  he  fousrht  like  a  tiger,  tho  lunatic  meantime 
shisliinz  richt  and  left  with  the  razor,  with  which  he 
inflicted  two  wouni^  upon  the  scalp  of .  his  victim. 
Finally,  the  young  man,  by  an  almost  superhuman 
effort.' felled  the  inauiac  to  the  eround.  and  imme- 
diately jumped  upon  him,  until  lus  cries  for  help 
broucnt  Mr.  Bryan  to  the  scene.  Taylor  was  se- 
cured and  taken  to  TecumseJi.  The  wounds  upon 
the  yonuij  man's  lie.id  aro  not  serions. 

Taylor  was  taken  to  tlie  County-honse  this  morn- 
ing He  was  known  to  have  had'  *1.")0  with  hiiM  a 
few  days  ag'<.  but  when  one  of  the  neis;hbors  went  to 
lock  up  his  house  yesterdiiy,  after  the  srrest.  an  oj>eii 
trunk  revealed  two  $1  bills  Iyin<:  loose  amoii^  the 
contents.  The  money  ciiiinot  be  found  and  whether 
a  robbery  has  been  committed  or  the  lunatic  has 
tlirotTU  away  his  money  no  one  knows. 


YI.XDICATED,  BUT  XOT  RIGHTED. 
The  Boston  Traveller  of  Friday  says:  "A 
year  or  two- since,  in  a  pleasant  old  Massachusetts 
town,  a  dwelling-Uouse  was  robbed  of  property  ota 
considerable  value.  On  the  previous  day  a  mechan^, 
had  been  employed  upon  the  premises,  and  althouc;h 
he  was  an  industrious  and  steady  and  reputable  citi- 
zen, he  was  susiwcted  of  the  roltbery.  His  residence 
was  searched,  and  nothing  was  fotmd  there  to  ju^^tify 
the  suspicion.  Bat  this  did  not  prevent  him  from 
becoming  a  marked  man.  His  old  acquaintances — 
respectable  men.  all  of  tbeui — be^ian  to  shun  him. 
His  customers  left  him,  and  he  could  not  set  einplo;,  - 
ment.  He  had  a  large  family  of  children,  but  lie 
could  earn  nothing  for  their  support.  .  It  was 
not  easy  to  leave  the  place,  and  he  did  not  want  to 
leave  and  thus  strcnsthen  the  suspicion  under  wliieh 
he  rested.  He  asked  for  a  trial  in  t!te  conrt-i  of  htw, 
but  nobody  would  prefer  chares  against  him.  All 
he  could  do  was  to  suffer  and  wait.  And  his  waiting 
lias  not  been  in  vaiut^  Recently  the  real  culprit  has 
been  discovered,  and  the'stolen  property  found.  The 
wron£;ed  man  has  .been  vindicated  at  last.  But  if 
Essex  County  love  of  justice  is  uotatbiu^of  tho 
past,  the  matter  will  not  rest  there.  Tliero  should  be 
a  public  recognition  of  hi.s  innocence,  and  if  it  is  lic- 
coinpanied  by  a  substantial  token  of  regard,  the  r*:ii- 
zens  wiU  feel  the  richer  for  it.  He  has  shown  him- 
self worth  v  to  be  a  citizen  of  tlie  town:  the  com- 
munity will  show  that  it  is  unworthy  of  su.di  a  citizen 
if  he  is  not  made  to  feel  that  those  who  have  unin- 
tentionally wronged  him  regret  the  injustice  ho  has 
suffered."

tractive as  a  picture  nor  trustworthy  as  a  map ;  but  it

A  ROMAXTIC  CASE  OF  PERTVRY. 
The  London  Telegraph  of  July  20  has  the 
following:  "A  case  of  perjury  of  annnusually  ro- 
mantic character  caiaa  before  the  Hastings  magis- 
trates yesterday,  the  defendant  being  a  gentleman 
named  lister,  tho  son  of  Lieat-CoL  Lester.  On 
June  10  Lester  went  to  Mr.  WHuter,  the  Superin- 
tendent Registrar  of  Births,  T'eaths.  and  Marriages. 
for  the  Hastings  District,  and  stated  tliat  he  wi.shed 
to  eive  notice  for  a  marriai;©  by  license  at  the  Rest- 
istrar's.  In  the  declaration  made  by  defeudant  it 
WHS  asserted  that/ the  fatlier  of  the  lady.  Mr.  Fred- 
erii-k  Edward  Lester,  a  Major  retired  from 
the  Spanish  service.  was  dead,  that  tho 
mother  was  liviiie  at  liome,  aud  that  it 
would  1>6  imiMJssible  to  obtain  her  con- 
sent. The  marriage  was  appointed  x*i  take 
Slace  at  the  Rccistrar's  ofiice  on  June  ^O,  and  onthat 
ay  defendant  drove  up  in  a  carriage  io  the  l'te;^is- 
trar's  o^ce.  ucifompanied  bv  his  be'kxuthvd.    At  tuis 


Juncture,  however,  an  unejcpocted  hitch  arose  on 
Miss  Lester  being  asked  by  Ifr.  ^Vlnter  if  her  father 
was  dead,  as  alleged.  She  stated  that  he  was  allva. 
and  Lester  then  explained  that  there  had  been  a 
misunderstau'ling,  and  made  a  fresh  declara- 
tion. He  then  asserted  that  the-  father  of 
Miss  Lester  was  either  at  St.  Petersburg  or 
on  his  way  tu  Rome,  and  that  his  consent 
to  the  marriage  had  been  obtained.  They  were  mar- 
ried on  June  24,  and  resided  at  Gladstone  Honse, 
West-bill,  St.  Leonard's.  Miss  Lester  nad  loft  her 
home  at  Watford  on  Jnne  13,  osten.sibly  for  the  pur- 
pose of  visiting  some  friends  of  the  family  in  London; 
promising  to  return  the  same  evening.  *  Tho  follow- 
ing day,  liowever,  the  father  received  a  letter  bear- 
ing the  j>ost-raark  of  Paris,  in  consequence  of  which 
he  at  onceproceeded  there,  and  on  arrivii^  he  learned 
that  his  daughter  was  at  St.  Leonard's.  He  returned 
to  England,  and  on  Jnne  23  he  saw  her  at  the  latter 
place,  thotigh  he  then  did  not  notice  the  defendant 
there.  He  proceeded  to  Watford,  but  returned 
to  St.  Leonard's  on  June  27.  His  daughter 
then  TeftLsed  to  Rive  him  evidence  of 
her  marriai^.  and  he  took  her  in  his  carriace  aud  re- 
turned home  with  her,  but  she  .<tole  oat  of  the  hou?e 
in  the  night  and  got  away  Spain.  It  was  not  until 
after  that  Mr.  Lester  obtained  positive  evidence  of 
the  marriage,  and  then  commenced  proceedings  for 
perjnn-  against  the  defendant.  Mr.  Lester,  who  is 
the  defendant's  uncle,  stated  that  he  had  not  tho 
slightest  knowledge  of  his  nephew  paj-ing  atten- 
tion to  his  daughter,  and  indignantly  denied  that  he 
had  ever  eiven  his  consent  to  their  marriage. 
Eventually  the  defendant  was  committed  to  take  his 
trial  at  tUe  next  assizes,  bail  beinc  accepted,  himsedf 
in  i£500  and  two  sureties  of  £*230  each."

ANTIQUARIAN  DISCOVERIES  IN  ZEAL.AND — A 
RICHLY  EM»1M*LS.^ED  TOMB  CONTAINING 
MANY  ORN.AMENTS  AND  OTHER  ARTI- 
CLES— FURTHER  INVESTIGATIONS  TO  BE 
MADE. 

The  Copenhagen  correspondent  of  the  Pall 
MaU  Gazette,  WTitiQi^  on  the   20Lh   inst..  says:  ''A 
most  interesting  discovery  of  antiquarian  remains  has 
just  beeu  made  close  to  the  town  of  Stoi-eheddinize.  in 
Zealand,    About  nine  feet  below  the  .surface  of  the 
earth  a  tumulus  was  discovered,  surrounded  as  usual 
with  15  large  stones  raised  on    end  and  covered  with 
other  large  stones,  which  when  removed  disclosed  the 
interior  of   the   tomb,   which    was   about    10    feet 
lone    and    3    feet    wide.        Ou    the    bottom    was 
laid     a      broad      piece      of      oaken      plank,      on 
which  were  found  the  remains  of  a  woman  evidently 
buried  iu  her  clothes,   the  face  turned   toward  the 
east,  the  left  arm  crossed  over  the  chest,  and  the 
right  arm  stretched  out  by  the  side  of  the  body.    A 
lar<;e  number  of  vessels  of  various  kinds  were  placed 
around  the  head,  the  mo^t  remarkable  l>eina  a  cup 
of  blue  ala«s.  surrounded  by  a  richly  chased  silver 
rim  representing  tlie  leaves  of  the   vine,    haviTig  an 
inscription  in  Greek   characters   which    translated 
means  'Farewell.'    Next  may  be  mentioned  another 
cup  of  red-colored  glass,  and   a  large  vase   of  green 
glass,  besides  many  pleees/of  other  cups  which  had 
been  crushed  by  one  of  the  stones  ha^ng  fallen  in. 
In  the  biu-?  cap' the  ribs,  and  in  the  red  cup  other 
bones,  of  differeut  kinds  of  fishes  was  discovered. 
To   the    riiiht    of  the  head    lay  a  geld  coin    which 
had  eWdently  been,  used  as  an  ear-ring,  dating  from 
the  reign  of  the  Roman  Einpefor  Prohiis.  whoso  abort 
reign  lasted  from  abuut  the  year  '270  t"  1282.     Tiie 
tomb  consequently  cannot  date  further  back  than 
from  A.  D.  '270.    A  large  and  !)eantlfully-embo5.-H'd 
riuir  of  gold  inclosed  the  neck.  , ind  clo.^e  to  the  right 
shoulder  lay  n  thick  golden  pin,  probably  used  to  hold 
the  upi>er  garment  together.     On  two  finirers  of  the 
riaht  hand  were  two  massive  rintrs  of  g»ud.  the  One 
spinil-fonned.  the  other  plain,  while  close  to  the  waist 
one  large  aud  several  smaller  buckles  of  silver  were 
dLscovered.     A  co!le';tion  of  bones  of  various  anininls 
lay  (do?ie  to  the  feet  of  the  body,  as  well  as  a  woo<ien 
basin  ornam.enred  with  bronze  handles,  containing  42 
dice  turned  from  boiie.  and  apparently  used  for  play. 
In    a    large     Roman     ba,siu     of     bronze,    which 
stood      at      the      extreme      end     of     the     tomb, 
the    bones    of    a    small    pig    were     found,    other 
bones  of  the  same  animal  being  discovered  in  the 
surroundine  earth,   as  well  as  the  remains  of  human 
beings,  possibly  bones  of  slaves  who    had  been  sac- 
riticed  at  the  funeral.    The  discovery  is  here  looked 
upon   as  beins  of  the  very  highest  antiquarian  im- 
portance, while  it  adds  another  proof  of  the  rela- 
tions which  so  e.arly  existed  between  the  north  aud 
tlie  south,  which  wej*  mostly  carried  on  tlirou^h  the 
present  Russian  provinces,  and  which   finally,  in  tho 
eiixhth  or  ninth  century,  culminated  in  the  creation 
of  a  special  body-guard  of  the  Emperor  in  Constantly 
nople.  consistlnff  of  the  so-called  '  Varangians  ' — an 
institution  which  lasted  nearly  until  the  final  over- 
tlirow  of  the  Byzantine  Empire  by  the  Turks.     The 
Government  Is  goinff  to  Institute  further  researches 
ronnd  the  tomb,  as  many  signs  seem  to  indicate  that 
this  place  in  olden  times  has  been  a  kind  of  regal 
burial-place."

ALLEGED  OFFER  OF  $'250   BY  THE  MANAGER 
OF  THE     ST.     LOUIS     BROWNS     FOR    TWO 
-   GAMES  AT  LOUISVILLE. 

The  St,  Louis  Times  gives  the  following  as 
the  statement  of  De^-itmey.  the  umpire  at  Louisville, 
concerning  an  attempt  made  by  ilcManus.  the  man- 
ajrer  of  the  St.  Louis  Browns,  to  bribe  him :  "  When 
I  lived  in  St.  Louis  two  years  ago  I  was  employed  by 
tiie  St.  Louis  management  Io  take  the  Browns 
through  a  course  of  g>-mnasium  practice.  I  am  inti- 
mately acquainted  with  most  all  of  the  Brown  Stock- 
ing players,  and  went  to  the  Fourteenth-Street  Depot 
to  meet  them  ou  the  10:50  train  Tuesday  morning. 
!McManus  came  to  me  and  said  :  '  I  want  to  see  you 
at  the  hotel.'  andwishe<lme  to  ride  up  with  him  in 
his  hack.  I  declined,  and  walked  up  to  the  Louis- 
ville Hotel,  where  I  met  him  in  the  lobby.  He  asked 
me  to  his  r-'om.  where  he  first  treated  me  to  a  nice 
cigar,  lie''  then  toid  me  that  if  I  would  do  the 
square  thing  for  the  Browns  and  wanted  to  make 
anything  he  would  give  me  $250.  If  I  would  throw 
the  two  games  to  l>e  played  ^vith  the  Louisville^ 
their  (the  Browns)  favor.'and  if  I  would  do  the  same 
tiling  in  tlie  two  games  to  be  phiyedby  the  Browns  in 
Louisvitlo  later  in  the  season,  be  would  give  me  $!-iO0. 
or  SlOO  for  each  came.  He  said:  '  I  \vill  give  yon 
S."JO  ou  the  grounds  I'.f  ter  the  first  game,  and  the  rest 
at  the  hotel  at  night.'  To  accomplish  all  this  he 
stated  that  all  strikes  must  be  called  off  Blong  that 
were  pos.iibIe  :  tliat  Devlin  should  be  dealt  with  very 
strictly  as  regards  called  balls,  so  as  to  work  lum  ana 
the  rest  uf  the  nine  up  so  as  to  throw  all  the  points 
in  the  Browns'  favor.  McGearv,  so  McManus  stated 
was  afraid  of  me,  and  so  left  him  to  do  all  the  talk- 
ing. Mcilanus  then  took  out  a  §100  bill  and  showed 
it  to  me.  asking  If  it  was  not  a  big  pile.  I  said,  '  Yes. 
about  as  big  as  I've  seen  for  some  time.'  He  said  : 
'  You  might  as  well  make  it,  and  come  back  to  .St. 
Louis  well  fixed ;  you  can  come  there  nest  year ;  I'll 
get  you  in  as  Lejytue  Umpire,  and  see  that  you  are  well 
taken  care  of.'  I  did  not  commit  myself  either  one 
wnv  or  tGfe  other,  and  after  some  further  talk  he  said, 
'  Well.  I  expect  yon  had  lietter  leave  me  now.  Chap- 
man  may  catch  you  here,  and  it  would  not  be  safe  for 
him  to  see  you.''  1  did  not  come  to  any  understand- 
ini:  with  him.  As  I  left  ho  ri'niarked.  '  You  do  as  I 
tell  you  and  evcr>i,hing  will  bo  all  right.  All  it  re- 
quires is  a  little  cliL-ek.'  After  coming  from  Mo- 
Mmhus'  room  I  met  lilong  iu  the  hotel  rotunda,  who 
said  t<i  me.  '  Burtis  is  quite  a  sport,  and  bets  his 
nioney  on  tjie  Browns.  He  told  me  to  tell  you  tliat 
he  liail  his  money  up  on  them  in  the  Louis\-ill6  games, 
and  for  you  to  do  the  fair  thing  by  St.  Louis.'  wliich 
simply  Hinouiited  to  my  doing  tho  unfair  thing 
t'Avai*d  Louisrille.  I  am  willing  to  make  a  sworn 
auidavit  to  anjthing  I  have  stated.  The  Louis\ulle 
people  have  treated  me  so  kindly  that  I  did  not  have 
trie  heart  to  give  them  away,  although  to  a  poor  man 
the  temptation  iu  the  sliiipe  of  so  much  money  was 
very  great."

M->re  than  5.O00.O0O  caps  of  corn  .are  iiow  packed

PUBLIC  OPIXIOX  AXD  TRE  JEWS. 
The  Lofvlon  :Sjh;ctutvr  of  July  '21,  in  siJt-aking 
of  the  Hebrew  controversy  in  this  comitry,  mentions 
as  a  ca.'je  in  point  the  following :  V  The  Vicar  of 
St.  John  .s,  Taunton,  hasfonnallyi^questedMr.  Jacob 
Myers,  the  Jewish  Mayor  of  the  borongh,  to  deny 
the  report  that  he  is  an  unbaptized  person.  .This  de- 
nial, he  writes,  is  necessary  to  relieve  the  town  coun- 
cillors of  the  "distressing  imputation"  that  "they 
have  knowingly  electwl  as  representative  of  the  town 
one  who  does  not  believe  in  Him  whom  ihev  proiess 
to  worship.''  Mr.  31yei*s.  in  a  very  dignified,  though 
short  K-tter,  replies  simply  that  he  is  proud  to  be  a 
memlK-r  of  the  Hebrew  faith,  and  equally  proud  that 
his  Christian  fri-uds  and  neighbors  have  not  per- 
mitted religious  difi'erences  to  infiuence  them  in  their 
eliuico.  We  suspect  that  the  Jewish  nervousness 
about  public  oniuion.  which  is  so  observable  b'.ith  i:i 
England  and  Ameriv-a,  is  based  upon  a  better  kuowl- 
e<ige  of  the  intolerance  still  lingering  in  society  than 
other  men  possess.  Living  Jews  still  remember  the 
explosion  of  popular  anger  which  followed  their  first 
admission  to  municipnl  office."

HIS  PR0NENE3S  TO  TALK  AND  DISIN'CLINATTO^ 
TO  BACK  UP  HIS  WORDS— SOME  ILLUSIKIA- 
TIVE  INCIDENTS  IN  HIS  CAREER.  [ 

J'r07rt  the  Knoxville  lT:nh.)  Chronirle,  Ang.  2. 
That  unmitigated  old  blatherskite;.  Gun.  RotK" 
ert  Toombs,  introduced  a  resolution  in  the  Georgia 
Constitutional  Convention  the  otuer  day  le^alijing 
the  practice  of  dueling.  As  a  matter  of  course  It  w:;s 
voted  down  by  a  large  majority.  Now.  w'nat  on  carta 
Toombs  wants  to  legalize  dueling  for  Is  rpire ;  tbrm 
we  can  cness.  We  can  imagine  circumstances  nnd-j^r 
which  a  brave  man,  laboring  under  mtstaictri  idea-, 
might  desire  to  commit  a  foolish  a-t  like  that-  ^  But 
Toombs  is  a  notorious  coward.  He  ha^  a  .mosf  v;I-  1 
lainous  tomiue.  and  in  bis  .way  is  a  brilliant  talker. 
Bv  ilie  too  ireo  use  oi  his  tongue  he  ha*  gi*I  uito 
trouble  repeate-lly.  hut  whenever  there  was  »i  pp^v  ^ 
pect  for  his  m-oetm;?  h'LS  ania:i<mlst  on  tlie  so-caU'.:<2 
field  of  honor,  he  has  invariably  ba'-kel  d'>.wn. 

A  distinguished  Soutliem  "Cohgre-isimm.  now  8 
member  of  thjtt  body,  related,  not  Ions  siu'-e,  how  the 
Southern  Representatives  used  to  be  attracted  to  tl.o 
Senate  Chamber  to  hear  Toombs' eh rqueiit  diatril-es 
n::Tainst  tlie  Abolitionists.  On'  one  occasion  when 
our  informant,  %vith  others,  wai  prorsenl.  Toojtibs 
was  d -nomichig  tliese  Abolitionists  in  liia  peculiar 
stvle.  and  with  an  imperious  wave  of  the  hand,  ex- 
claimed, ■*  Oh.  ye  h\-pocrites  !'•  Bluff  Ben.  Wade, 
who  was  siltimc  near  "by  and  who  wits  well  known  as 
a  leading  Abolitionist,  arose'  in  his  phire  and  iutcr- 
mptod  Toombs,  by  inquiring  whom  he  meant  to  np- 
br  lid  ai  "  hyjiorrites."  The  roaring  GocTvia  Setuitor, 
ill  the  most  patntuiring  way,  informed  Mr.  Wado 
that  he  made  un  reference  to  him.  S<mthem  Con- 
gressmen were  disgusted  at  this  display  of  cowardice, 
and  withdrew  in  decn  mortification. 

The  reason  tor  Toombs'  poiitenesi  was,  he  had 
previously  indorsed  the*  brutid  attx-ks  of  Preston 
Brooks  upon  Senator  Sumner.  Wade  took  occasion 
to  denounce  the  iict  of  Brooks  .is  th.it  <jf  an  a»;sas'iiiu 
and  all  who  indorsed  it  as  fis&a.ssins.  lie  was  waited 
up<^)n  by  a  friend  of  Toombs,  whc  asked  him  if  lio 
knew  tiiat  he  bad  insulted  tliat  gentleman.  Wad«* 
said  yes.  he  did  know  it.  aud  ha-l  so  intended  it.  At 
the  same  time  he  took  occasion  to  inform  Toombs' 
friend  that,  while  being  opposed  to  dueling,  he  had 
come  to  the  conclusioiL  in  \-iew  of  the  bullying  atti-  - 
tude  of  .Southern  Congressmen,  that  it  was  the  d-atj- 
of  some  man  from.the  North  to  fiuht  a  dn-?l.  and  that . 
he  had  made  up  his  mind,  if  chalk-nged.  to  at-rept. 
"Toombs' friend  found  out.  npon  inquiry,  tliat  Wade 
was  a  fine  rifle  shot,  and  the  chalieu:;e  was  never 
sent.  Tiie  "insult  '  ofi'ered  by  the  Ohio  Senator 
wns  passed  bv. 

Toombs  also  h.id  a  difEcultj- once  with  Hon.  John 
BelL  of  this  State,  in  which  he  displayed  iJie  wh'iie  ^ 
f.'ather.  Jo.  Brown,  of  Geor^ria.  onf-e  buckt-il .  him 
down,  and  we  are  informed  that  'tgu.  lieonre  Manev, 
of  this  State,  once  made  him  -take  water."  While 
in  the  command  of  Gen.  A.  P.  Hi:l.  during  the  Into 
war.  he  is  chaiged  with  cowardice  in  bat*le.  in  refus- 
ing to  make  a  (.marge  he  was  directed  to  make. 

iiut  we  need  not  multiply  words.  He  is  a  cow.ird, 
and,  like  a  great  many  of  his  kind.  Is  willing  to  gTiiu 
cheap  notoriety,  bv  having  it  app^-ar  that  he  fjivora 
the  practice  ofdueling.  We  agree  with  an  exchange, 
that  if  he  wants  to  kill  lumself  he  ought  to  hava 
unanimous  pennission  to  do  it. 

THOSE  SUXDRED    THOUSAXD  VXARMED  | 
CmZEXS.  -1 

Touching  the  suggestion  of  a  convention  of 
100,000  unarmed  citizens  in  Washington,  in  tho 
presence  of  Congress,  to  witness  the  inauguration  of 
Mr.  Tilden,  the  Louisville  CovrUr- Journal  sara : 
*'  The  hint  was  dropped  by  one  who  stood  sufficiently 
near  Mr.  Tilden  to  ju-tlfy  the  suspicion  that  it  had 
not  fallen  without  authority.  It  was  dropped  at  a  mo- 
ment when  the  Democrati  were  clamoring  for  a  word 
and  complaining  that  there  was  not  so  much  as  tho 
shadow  of  a  cue  either  to  organization  or  action.  Ad- 
mit, for  the  sake  of  argument,  that  it  -was  im^iractl- 
cnble — a  mere  folly :  yet  it  proposed  something  in 
the  absence  of  everything  IJko  movenrent.  The  Re- 
publicans caught  the  idea  at  <mce.  That  very  night 
they  held  legislative  cauctisea  at  Karrisburg  and 
Albany  and  prepared  for  the  devnpment  of  their 
military  fonres.  The  Bemoi-rats.  able  to  agree  upon 
nothing,  either  peaceful  or  warlike,  (except  the  final 
monstros  ity.)  went  to  making  sport  of  the  •  feeler 
thai  had  come  from  the  fouaiain-hcid.  Tiio  truth 
is,  the  battle  had  been  h^st  by  tiio  Democrats  by 
their  irresolution  in  November.  Conp-ess  fell  this 
when  it  met.  as  was  shown  in  the  case  we  have  cited 
as  an  iHustralion  ;  the  part  v  was  not  prepared  to  a^ft 
on  any  affirmativ^e  plan.  lie  who  proposed  a  distinct 
and  positive  measure  did  .saat  tiie  peril  of  his  repu* 
tation  for  discernment.  The  Democrats  would  onl*  . 
act  u^atively."  ^^^^

It  is  announced  that  a  considerable  por- 
tion of  the  Preaideut's  Message  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  next  session  of  Congress  will  be 
devoted  to  the  labor  question.  How  much 
rec ent  ©rents have  set  people  a-thinkiug  about 
the  relations  between  railroad  corporations 
and  their  employes,  as  affected  bythe  position 
of  both  toward  the  country  at  large,  may  be 
inferred  from  the  frequent  discussions  which 
are  said  to  have  taken  place  in  the  Cabinet 
t>n  that  subject.  The  appointment  by 
Congress  of  a  Commission  representing 
labor,  eonmierce,  and  capital,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  adjusting  disputes  like  those  from 
whose  effects  the  country  is  still  suffering, 
is  alluded  to  as  a  project  in  favor  with  some 
of  the  President's  advisers.  About  this 
and  the  otherproposed  Commission  charged 
with  the  duty  of  •  e.xamining  into  the 
desirability  of  chartering  new  rail- 
roads, it  will  be  time  to  express  an 
opinion  when  their  constitution  and  func- 
tions are  clearly  outlined.  Meanwhile,  it 
is  significant  of  the  growth  of  a  new  order 
sf  political  questions  to  find  plans  like  these 
■regarded  as  among  the  most  important  sub- 
jects with  which  Congress  will  have  to 
•4eal.  

At  least  one  member  of  the  Cabinet  seems 
disposed  to  grapple  with  the  labor  problem 
in  a  very  practical  and  sensible  fashion. 
Secretary  Thompson  has  made  up  his  mind 
that  the  Government  ■,  not  only  can, 
tut  must,  have  its  '  work  done  as 
cheaply  as  that  of  any  private  ship- 
■bnilder,  and  as  a  step  toward  that  end  he 
ias  ordered  that  men  in  the  Navy-yards 
shall  be  paid  practically  by  the  hour,  and 
that  the  men  'who  choose  to  make  a  day's 
work  consist  of  ten  hours  instead  of  eight 
ionrs,  shall  be  paid  accordingly.  This  will 
probably  bring  down  upon  the  Secretary  the 
denunciations  of  the  labor  demagogues,  vfrho 
.■win  characterize  it  as  an  evasion  of  that 
■beneficent  enactment  known  as  the  Eight- 
hour  law.  But  as  neither  labot  demagogues 
nor  eight-hour  laws  are  in  very  good  .odor 
at  present,  Mr.  Thompson  wUl  doubtless 
find  his  course  approved  by  everybody  whose 
ippioval  is  of  much  consequence. 


'.a.  report  of  an  interview  between  a  Bos- 
ton gentleman  and  Aristakchi  Bey,  Turk- 
ish Minister  to  the  United  States;  printed 
in  The  Times,  yesterday,  calls  forth  a  cour- 
teous note  from  that  official.  The  Turkish 
Minister,  while  he  makes  some  corrections 
In  the  report,  does  not  disavow  the  essential 
points  thereof.  ,  It  is  quite  likely  that  he 
has  been  misrepresented  in  the 
matter  of  polities.  For  no  intelligent 
foreigner  could  have  fallen  into 
Bueh  a  grievous  error  as  that  of  classing 
Sepablicons  and  Democrats  as,  respectively, 
the  enemies  and  friends  of  Turkey,  But 
the  naive  simplicity  with  which  the  Turkish

WHICH  IS  THE  MAJORITY  PARTY f 

Does  Tammany  Hall  represent,  as  is  pre- 
tended, "  a  clear  majority  of  the  voters  of 
the  City "  f  Let  us  take  ' '  the  statistics  of 
our  recent  elections,"  which  are  appealed  to 
in  support  of  this  proposition,  and  see  what 
it  is  worth.  What  is  known  as  "  Reformed  " 
Tammany  started  in  political  business  in 
1872,  and  got  beaten.  Its  candidate  for 
Mayor,  albeit,  or  probably  because  of  being 
a  very  respectable  one,  polled  but;  47,133 
votes  out  of  the  134,878  cast  at  the  election 
of  that  year.  In  1873  Democratic  candi- 
dates were  elected  for  Sheriff,  County  Clerk, 
antfJudges  of  the  Supreme  and  Superior 
Courts.  As  a  matter  of  exact  statement,  we 
should  object  to  calling  these  Tammany 
candidates,  because,  though  it  may  be  con- 
ceded that  the  organization  represented 
tlien  as  now  a  majority  of  the  Democratic 
Party  in  this  City,  there  is  abundant  evi- 
dence to  show  that  it  has  been  in  constant 
opposition  to  a  very  considerable  minority 
of  that  party.  That  minority  took  no  inde- 
pendent political  action  in  1873 ;  hence  the 
result  of  the  election^..  But,  even  conceding 
that  Messrs.  Conxer,  Walsh,  4c.,  were 
elected  by  the  Tammany  Hall  vote,  it  may 
be  profitably  remembered  that  the  average 
of  this  vote  did  not  in  1873  exceed  62,000 

In  1874  a  part  of  the  DemocratiC|minority 
opposed  to  Tammany  Hall  took  independent 
action  in  local  polities.  In  pursuance  of  a 
tolerably  well-understood  bargain,  Mr. 
Wales  was  nominated  as  a  "  straight  Repub- 
lican "  candidate  for  Mayor,  and  co-operatiou 
with  -■Vnti-Tammany  Democrats  wasdeclined. 
The  candidate  ran  8,000  votes  behind  his 
party  vote  for  Governor.  The  Ger- 
man Anti-Tammany  Democrats  nominated 
Mr.  Ottesdobfeb  under  the  most  I  discour- 
aging circumstances,  but  in  full  view  of  the 
fact  that  his  election  was  impossible,  he  re- 
ceived 24,000  votes.  The  Tammany  can- 
didate— WiCKHAM — had  a  majority  of  but 
9,000  votes  over  the  combined  vote  of 
his  opponents,  and  received  ;  17,000 
votes  less  than  the  Democratic  can- 
didate for  Governor.  That  year's  ex- 
perience was  sufficient  to  prove  that 
the  terms  "  Tammany  "  and  "Deinocratic  " 
were  by  no  means  convertible,  and  that  to 
assume  them  to  be  so  involved  the} assump- 
tion that  the  lesser  includes  the  greater.  In 
1875  the  essential  difference  between  the 
two  terms  was  made  still  mo^e  mani- 
fest. All  the  opponents  o^  Tam- 
many Hall  united  on  one  ticket,  and 
the  Kelly  organization,  for  such  it 
had  become,  supported  another.  The 
Anti-Tammany  ticket  was  supposed  to  be 
beaten  in  advance.  '•  On  the  authority  of  the 
World  we  were  assured  "  that  every  compe- 
tent politician  of  either  party  in  this  City, 
where  information  is  accessible  and  by  this 
date  in  the  canvass  pretty  well  collected 
and  condensed,  knows  perfectly  well 
that  the  opposition  to  Tammany  was 
never  so  weak,  distracted,  and  disorganized 
as  now,  and  that  every  Tammany  nominee 
on  the  County  ticket  is  absolutely  certain 
to  be  elected."  Nevertheless,  the  Tammany 
ticket  was  beaten  by  a  majority  of  27,000 
votes,  while,  at  the  same  time,  the 
Democratic  nominee  for'  Secretary  of  State 
received  in  the  City  a  majority  of  '29,000. 

Last  year  there  was  no  union  made  against 
Tammany  Hall.  The  national  canvass 
dwarfed  all  questions  affecting  local  gov- 
ernment, and  the  Tammany  candidates  were 
swept  into  power  on  the  wave  that  gave  the 
TiLDEN  Electors  in  New- York  City  a  ma- 
jority of  04,000  votes.  It  is  to  be 
observed,  however,  that  '  the  Tammany 
Hall  candidate  for  Sheriff  fell  12,000  votes 
short  of  this  majority,  that  its  candidate 
for  Surrogate  was  31,000  votes  behind 
the  same  majority,  and  that  one  of  its  can- 
didates for  Coroner  barely  escaped  defeat 
by  a  majority  of  2,873  votes.  This  last  can- 
didate was  and  is  a  cherished  friend  and  ad- 
viser of  the  person  who  controls  the  Tammany 
Hall  nominations,  and  it  was  in  his  interest 
mainly  that  Gov.  Robinson  was  induced  to 
veto  a  bill  making  some  very  desirable  re- 
forms in  the  law  affecting  Coroners,  and,  par- 
ticularly, depriving  these  public  servants  of 
the  power  of  extracting  very  extravagent 
incomes  from  the  fees  of  their  office. 
If  public  dissatisfaction  with  Kelly's 
friend,  Mr.  Richard  Cboker,  caused  his 
name  to  be  scratched,  amid  the  heat  of  a 
bitter  party  struggle,  by  20,000  Demo- 
cratic voters,  and  induced  another  21,000 
Democrats  to  vote  for  his  Republican  op- 
ponent, where  is  the  proof  that 
any  candidate  nominated  by  Kelly 
can  ever  be  elected  in  the  face  of 
a  united  opposition  to  the  administrative 
rascality  and  political  despotism  which  that 
person  represents  t'  That  the  Tammany 
ticket  this  FaU  will  be  nominated,  as  usual, 
by  t£e  ignorant  and  vulgar  demagogue  who 
espoused  the  cause  of  Calvin  and 
Croeeb  last  year,  will  not  probably  be  dis- 
puted. That  it  is  a  ticket  which  can  be 
beaten  by  anything  like  honest  and  hearty 
union  on  the  part  of  tho  opponents  of 
Tammany  Hall  is  equally  certain.  There 
never  has  been  such  a  union  without  tho 
fact  being  demonstrated  that  Tammany 
Hall  represents  the  minotitr  of  the  voten

THE  GOVEBNMEJffT  A2n>  TEE  PACIFIC 
RAILWAYS. 

The  letter  of  Mr.  Sidney  Dillon,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Union  Pacific  BaDway,  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  proposing  a  set- 
tlement with  the  (Jovemment  for  its  pro- 
spective claims  against  the  company,  offers 
to  pay  into  the  Treasury  $250,000  each 
half  year  for  ten  years,  $375,000  each  half 
year  for  the  succeeding  ten  years,  and 
$500,000  each  haU  year  thereafter,  in- 
terest to  be  compounded  half  yearly  at  6 
per  cent,  until  the  sum  so  accruing  shall 
be  equal  to  the  Government  mortgage  on 
the  road,  reckoned  Tith  simple  interest  to 
the  same  date.  There  is  a  disputed  claim 
for  about  $800,000  between  the  Govern- 
ment and  the  company,  being  for  one-half 
of  the  transportation  service  rendered  by 
the  company  to  the  Government,  which  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury  retains  as  a  set-off 
to  the  5  per  cent,  of  net  earnings  which 
the  original  charter  of  the  company 
requires  to  be  paid  into  the  Treasury  as  a 
sinking  fund — the  company  having  refused 
to  pay  the  same  on  various  pretexts.  When 
the  claim  of  the  company  for  this  moiety  of 
transportation  earnings  was  in  litigation,  a 
stipulation  was  filed  in  court  by  the  parties 
that  the  money  should  at  all  events  be  re- 
tained by  the  Government  until  judicial  de- 
termination should  be  reached  respecting 
the  5  per  cent,  of  net  earnings.  Mr.  Dillon 
proposes  that  this  $300,000  shall  likewise 
draw  compound  interest  at  6  per  cent,  for 
the  benefit  of  the  company,  but  since  it  is 
coupled  T\"ith  the  undetermined  5  per  cent, 
claim,  it  may  be  left  out  of  the  considera- 
tion at  present. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  essence  of  this 
proposed  settlement  is  that  when  the  Gov- 
ernment's claim  on  account  of  the  subsidy 
matures,  about  the  year  1897,  Mr.  Dixxon 
proposes  to  borrow  the  money  from  the  Gov- 
ernment a  second  time  on  the  same  terms 
as  the  original  loan,  but  at  a  lower  rate  of  in- 
terest. Payments  of  $250,000,  half-year- 
ly, with  confcouud  interest  at  C  per  cent., 
will  amouW  in  ten  years  to  $6,717,568. 
This  sum,  with  semi-annual  increments  of 
$375,000,  with  interest  compoimded  in 
like  manner,  will  amount  in  the  next  ten 
years  to  $22, "209, 065,  at  which  time  tho 
whole  indebtedneus  falls  due.  The  present 
indebtedness  of  the  company  to  the  Gov- 
ernment being  $37,602,176,  and  the  an- 
nual interest  on  the  subsidy  bonds  be- 
ing $1,634,190,  the  whole  indebted- 
ness, when  it  falls  due,  under  the 
plan,  wiU  be  $70,285,970,  minus  $22,- 
209,065— «.  e.,  $48,076,911.  This  is  the 
sum  which  President  Dillom  gravely  pro- 
poses to  borrow  from  the  Government,  at  a 
fixed  interest  charge  of  $1,634,190 — in- 
terest and  principal  to  be  repaid  whenever 
the  rules  of  compound  interest  running  in 
his  favor,  at  6  per  cent.,  shall  overtake 
simple  interest  running  in  favor  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, at  3  4-10  per  cept.  There' are 
probably  other  companies  and  individuals 
who  would  like  to  borrow  from  the  Govern- 
ment on  the  same  terms. 

There  can  bo  no  objection  to  the  establish- 
ment of  a  sinking  fund  at  compound  inter- 
est for  the  payment  of  the  indebtedness  of 
the  Pacific  Railways  to  the  Government. 
There  can  bo  no  objection  to  allowing  6  per 
cent,  compound  interest  so  long  as  the  Gov- 
ernment has  the  means,  as  it  now  has,  to  in- 
vest the  proceeds  of  the  sinking  fund  at  that 
rate,  by  calling  in  and  canceling  its  own  6 
per  cent,  bonds.  >  But  any  plan  which  con- 
templates renewing  the  loan  to  those 
companies  on  the  original  basis,  or 
renewing  it  at  all,  is  inadmissible 
upon  any  survey  of  existing  facts, 
and  cannot  possibly  pass  Congress  after  the 
people  learn  tho  real  nature  of  the  transac- 
tion. The  fact  that  the  Union  Pacific  Com- 
pany is  perfectly  able  to  meet  all  its  obliga- 
tions, and  that  its  projectors  reaped  a  prince- 
ly reward  for  their  enterorise  through  the 
sluiceways  of  the  Credit  Mobilier,  deprives 
them  of  any  claim  for  a  new  loan  on  the 
score  of  hardship.  The  hardship  was  all  on 
the  side  of  the  Government,  which  stands 
out  of  the  use  of  its  money  for  thirty  years. 

Probably  no  such  scheme  as.  the  fore- 
going would  ev4r  have  engaged  the  serious 
attention  of  Congress  imless  tliere  were 
some  real  or  fancied  danger  that  the  Gov- 
ernment would  lose  more  by  rejecting  than 
by  complying  with  it.  Hence  the  idea  has 
been  thrown  out  that  the  Union  Pacific  Com- 
pany might  become  the  owners  of  their  own 
first  mortgage  bonds,  and,  by  defaulting  on 
the  I  interest,  foreclose  said  mortgage  and 
cut  out  the  Government's  claim.  This  fal- 
lacy seems  to  have  beguiled  so  good  a  lawyer 
as  Judge  Lawrence,  of  Ohio,  who  was  cer- 
tainly no  friend  of  the  Dillou  scheme  of 
funding.  The  obstacles  furnished  by  law 
and]  equity  to  this  sort  of  sharp  practice  are 
numerous,  and  not  tho  least  is  that  section 
of  the  Criminal  Code  which  punishes  con- 
spiracies to  defraud  the  United  States  by 
imprisonment  in  the  Penitentiary. 

The  real  question  to  be  considered  is, 
whether  the  company  or  the  Government  is 
in  the  better  position  to  stand  upon  the  law 
as  it  is,  and  bide  its  time.  Not  that  any 
reasonable  overture  is  to  be  rejected,  not 
that  the  door  to  negotiation  is  to  be  closed, 
but, that  all  plans  which  look  to  extending 
the  iexisting  loans  beyond  their  legal  matiu'i- 
ty  on  the  same  or  worse  terras  than  they 
now  bear,  txre  prima  facie  fraudulent  and  in- 
tolerable. In  poiiit  of  fact,  the  Govern- 
ment is  in  better  position  to  stand  upon  the 
law  as  it  now  is  than  any  of  the  solvent 
companiesare.  As  to  the  insolvent  ones,  there 
is  no  question  raised  concerning  them,  for 
if  tley  cannot  pay  their  first  mortgage  in- 
terest, they  have  nothing  to  offer  the 
Government  by  way  of  settlement  of 
the  second  mortgage.  The  law  provides 
that  one-half  of  the  transpoitation  and  mail 
service  rendered  by  the  companies  shall  be 
retained  in  the  Treasury,  and  that  "  at  least 
5  per  cent."  of  the  net  earnings  of  the  com- 
panies shall  be  paid  into  the  Treasury.  The 
latter  requirement  has  never  been  complied 
with,  and  there  is  now  due  to  the  Govern- 
ment thereunder,  about  two  million  dollars 
from  the  Union  Pacific  alone.  If  it  becomes 
necessary  for  Congress  to  exert  some  pres- 
sure upon  these  corporations,  the  phrase- 
ology employed  in  this  5\per  cent,  clause, 
coupled  with  tho  reserved  \right  to  alter, 
amend,  or  repeal,  would  seem  to  warrant 
the  passage  of  a  new  !aw  enlarging  the  per- 
centage of  net  earnings  to  be  paiu\into  the 
Treasury.  \ 

There  is  a  farther  provision  of  lavrthat 
wh'akifever  the  eamin£s  oi   the  compazu^ 


shall  exceed  10  per  cent,  upon  the  actual 
cost  of  the  roads,  Congress  may  reduce  the 
rates  of  fare.  Considerable  testimony  has 
been  taken  incidentally  by  investigating 
committees  showing  that  the  cost  of  the 
roads  was  very  much  less  than  it  appears  to 
be  on  the  balance-sheets.  Hon.  Jesse 
L.  Williams,  a  well-known  engineer, 
and  Government  Director  of  the  Union 
Pacific,  estimated  the  total  cost  of  this 
road  at  $38,824,821.  This  estimate  was 
made  about  seven  months  before  its  comple- 
tion to  the  point  of  junction  with  the  Cen- 
tral Pacific.  The  report  of  the  company  to 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  represents  the 
cost  to  have  been  $112,596,252,  while  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Credit  Mobilier  testified 
that  it  was  $71,208,399.  There  can  he  no 
doubt  that  the  two  principal  companies  are 
now  earning  much  more  than  10  per  cent, 
on  the  cost  of  their  roads.  The  charges  for 
freight  and  passenger  travel  are  simply  ex- 
tortionate, amounting  in  many  cases  to  nine 
or  ten  cents  per  mile  for  the  latter,  and  to 
a  higher  sum  for  the  former  than  the 
cost  of  teaming.  If  there  were  no  other 
way  for  the  present  generation  to  recover 
some  part  of  the  money  they  have  invested 
in  these  roads,  this  mode  certainly  is  open, 
for  Judge  Hunt,  inhisdecision  of  theCredit 
Mobilier  suit,  said :  "  I  doubt  not  that  for 
the  purpose  of  fixing  the  rates  of  fare  upon 
the  road,  according  to  the  power  reserved 
in  section  IS  [of  the  charter].  Congress  may 
direct  an  examination  into  the  cost  of  build- 
ing and  running  the  road,  and  in  an  action, 
with  appropriate  allegations,  may  cite  the 
company  to  a  discovery  upon  that  subject 
and  for  that  purpose." 

There  are  other  valuable  provisions  of 
law  in  favor  of  the  Government,  which  have 
never  been  put  in  force,  for  which'  Presi- 
dent Dillon  proposes  to  substitute  his  so- 
called  settlement :  for  "  the  aforesaid  pay- 
ments," he  says,  "  are  to  be  in  full  settle- 
ment of  all  claims  and  demands  by  or  on 
behalf  of  the  Government  against  said  com- 
pany." It  is  needless  to  comment  on  this 
sweeping  provLso.  It  will  be  unwholesome 
for  any  Congress,  or  any  political  party,  to 
let  go  the  just  claim  of  tho  Government 
upon  the  Pacific  Railway  Companies  for 
moneys  advanced,  or  to  compromise  the 
rights  of  the  people  therein,  or  to  negotiate 
with  them  for  extending  the  time  of  pay- 
ment beyond  the  maturity  of  the  debt  on 
the  basis  above  described. 


WHO  PA  Y  TAXES  t 

A  San  Francisco  paper,  commenting  on 
tho  late  disturbances  in  that  city,  complains 
that  thesinfamous  fellows  who  destroyed 
Chinese  houses  and  wrecked  property  are 
not  tax-payers.  The  hoodlum  is  a  non- 
producer.  His  name  is  not  found  on  the 
Assessor's  books,  and  he  has  no  interest  in 
the  Irise  and  fall  of  real  estate,  or  in  the 
price  of  building  materials.  Therefore, 
when  he  joins  in  the  work  of  destruc- 
tion which  costs  landlords  and  les- 
sees a  pretty  penny  to  repair,  he 
does  it  with  an  impunity  which 
is  exasperating  to  the  tax-paying  and  order- 
ly citizen.  Tiiis  view  of  the  case  is  often 
taken  by  those  who  survey  a  field  of  dam- 
ages like  that  of  Pittsburg  or  Martinsburg. 
But  it  is  a  superficial  view.  It  may  seem 
exasperating  that  hoodlums  and  ruffians, 
worthless  and  irresponsible,  should  be  able 
to  destroy  property  and  increase  the  bur- 
dens of  tax-payers,  and  yet  escape  scot-free. 
Not  oidy  do  they  elude  the  punishment  due 
their  crimes,  but  they  also  get  away  from 
the  grievous  weight  of  taication  which  their 
lawlessness  makes  necessary.  But  do  they 
thus  escape  T 

Suppose  ten  thousand  men  who  never  pay 
taxes,  but  who  live  "  from  hand  to  mouth," 
occupants  of  tenement-houses  and  con- 
sumers of  coarse  food,  set  fire  to  railroad 
property,  Chinese  houses,  and  steam-ship 
docks.  The  value  of  tho  property  which 
they  destroy  is  two  or  tlu-ee  millions  of  dol- 
lars! Under  the  laws  of  the  land,  this 
amount  is  charged  to  the  city  or  county  in 
which  the  property  was  situated.  It  is  paid, 
just  as  any  other  obligation  is  paid,  by  levy- 
ing a  tax.  Every  man  who  owns  a  foot  of 
land  or  a  piece  of  improved  property  in 
that  city  or  county  is  compelled  to 
pay  his  share.  Confiscation  or  pay- 
meiit  is  the  alternative  offered  him.  The 
tax  on  real  estate  in  Pittsburg  and  San 
Francisco  will  be  higher  next  year  than  it 
was  this  year  by  the  amount  paid  as  indem- 
nity t'o  those  who  have  lost  by  the  ravages 
of  the  mob.  Consequently,  rents  will  be 
higher,  and  prices  of  various  commodities 
will  be  advanced  in  exact  proportion.  Even 
the  whisky-seller,  who  deals  out  "  wet 
damnation  "  to  the  men  who  organize  riots, 
must  pay  a  higher  rent  if  he  is  a  tenant,  or 
higher  taxes  if  he  is  an  owner ;  and  he  makes 
up  the  difference  by  exacting  an  indirect 
tax  on  his  customers  who  are  the  riotous 
'  bread- winneijs." 

Mr.  JusTi;s  Schwab,  for  example,  sells  beer 
at  five  cents  a  glass,  and  preaches  the  incen- 
(iiary  doctrines  which  result  in  the  destruc- 
tionof  property.  The  City  pays  the  bills,  and 
Schwab,  whose  property  is  beer,  is  taxed 
accordingly.  He  collects  his  siiare  of  the 
tax  from  his  thirsty  customers,  who  pay  a 
higher  price,  or  get  less-^beer  than  before, 
^hil^  they  sit  and  swig  and  berate  the  tyr- 
anny of  property.  The  cunning  Schwab 
may '  encourage     wreck    and    ruin  ;     but

loquacious  and 
revoliitionary  customer.  So,  in  innumerable 
ways^  the  destroyer  is  compelled  to  pay  for 
the  loss  which  his  destructiveness  has  caused. 
It  is  npt  necessary  that  the  mischief-maker 
should  be  a  tax-payer  as  that  phrase  is  com- 
monly understood.  If  he  does  not  hire  a 
house,  or  a  tenement,  or  even  a  hovel,  in 
which  to  lay  his  head,  he  at  least  buys  a 
covering  tor  his  back,  and  victual  and  drink 
to  sustain  nature  ;  and  when  he  buys  these, 
poor  ^hough  they  may  be,  he  is  paying  his 
share  of  the  additional  taxation  which  his 
violence  and  lawlessness  have  caused.  He 
cannot  escape  it,  and  though  men  who  own 
costly  buildings  pay  more  than  he,  he  is 
mulcted  in  his  share. 

It  is  an  old  saying  that  nothing  is  certain 
but  death  and  taxes.  Death  cannot  be  es- 
caped by  any  possibility  of  human  ingenuity. 
Sooner  or  later,  it  overtakes  each  individual 
of  the  race.  To  escape  taxation  requires  a 
persisten'ce  and  a  course  of  privation  to 
which  few  men  can  submit  themselves.  A 
man  who  makes  a  hermit  of  himself,  lives 
in  a  cave  of  the  earth,  wears  skins  or  cast- 
off  garments, .  and  subsists  on  wild  fruits 
and  roots,  or  on  stolen  food,  may  be  said  to 
have  eluded  the  buxdeos  of  tasatigiir\Ihe 


m 


same  cannot  be  tme  of  any  other  htmuuibeing 
in  a  civilized  commonity.  He  may  escape 
the  visit  of  the  tax-gatherer  as  completely 
as  though  he  were  a  castaway  on  Selkirk's 
lonely  island.  But  he  is  lost  when  he  buys 
a  scrap  of  meat,  a  crust  of  bread,  or  a  gar- 
ment to  cover  his  nakedness.  Unless  he  is 
a  wild  savage,  he  is  a  consumer ;  and  as  soon 
as  he  is  a  oonsumar,  a  purchaser,  he  is  a 
tax-payer.  The  New- York  rioter  of  1863 
probably  chuckled  over  the  reflection  that 
the  Astors,  Stewarts,  and  Vanderbilts  were 
obliged  to  pay  for  his  fantastic  iqadness. 
But  there  is  no  squalid  tenement-house  in 
the  Sixth  Ward  or  Maokerelville  to-day  that 
is  not  paying  its  quota  of  the  millions  which 
the  City  of  New-York  pays  for  the  damage 
done  in  1863.  The  rioter,  if  he  lives,  cer- 
taiidy  pays  his  share. 

It  is  in  this  way,  especially  in  a  social  sys- 
tem like  ours,  that  the  interests  of  all  men 
are  boimd  up  together.  A  blow  at  a  great 
interest,  like  that  of  railroads,  for  example, 
is  first  felt  by  that  particular  species  of 
property.  Its  effects  are  long  and  oppres- 
sively endured  by  the  men  who  are  respon- 
sible for  the  original  disaster.  It  is  impos- 
sible that  men  shall  raise  violent  hands 
against  the  rights  of  property  without  them- 
selves suffering,  in  some  way,  the  conse- 
quences of  their  acts.  We  customarily  speak 
of  "tax-payers"  as  a  distinct  class — 
those  whose  names  are  on  the  books 
of  the  Assessor  and  Collector.  But,  in  an- 
other and  broader  sense,  all  consumers  are 
tax-payers.  He  who  drinks  wine,  or  whisky, 
pays  a  tax  which  the  water-drinker  does 
not  pay.  The  laborer  in  Philadelphia  who 
removed  a  five-cent  cigar  from  his  mouth  to 
say  that  he  could  not  live  on  wages  paid  to 
men  of  his  class  pays  a  tax  from  which  the 
non-smoking  millionaire  is  exempt.  It 
would  be  a  good  thing  if  men  would  see  and 
appreciate  properly  the  distribution  of  taxa- 
tion. That  we  are  bringing  up  a  class  of 
persons  who  think  that  because  they  are 
not  "  tax-payers"  in  the  narrow  sense,  they 
have  no  share  in  the  burdens  of  society,  is 
a  real  calamity. 

THE  MAINE  BEAR  CROP. 

Last  year  the  State  of  Maine  paid  $2,725 
for  bears.  As  five  dollars  was  paid  for  each 
bear,  almost  any  one  who  has  a  moderate 
command  of  slate  can  ascertain  that  549 
bears  were  paid  for.  Whether  the  State  re- 
quired any  more  bears,  or  whether  the  sup- 
ply fell  short,  we  are  not  informed,  but  it  is 
probable  that  if  enough  additional  bears  to 
make  up  the  number  to  a  round  six  hundred 
had  been  offered  they  would  have  been  ac- 
cepted. 

There  exists,  even  among  very  intelligent 
men,  an  extraordinary  misconception  of  the 
object  of  the  so-called  Bounty  law,  under 
which  the  State  of  Maine  pays  five  dollars 
for  every  bear,  or  rather  for  the  scalp  of 
every  bear,  which  is  brought  to  the  chief  of 
the  bear  bureau.  It  is  actually  believed 
by  these  mi^uided  persons  that  the  aim  of 
the  law  is  to  extirpate  bears.  It  is  only 
necessary,  however,  to  study  the  effect  of 
the  statute  in  order  to  fully  comprehend  its 
true  object.  It  is  designed  to  protect  and 
foster  bear-culture,  and  its  influence  in  this 
direction  is  far  more  efficient  than 
that  of  any  game  law  couched  in  the  usual 
manner  could  possibly  be.  Why  Maine 
takes  so  warm  an  interest  in  her  local  bears 
is  a  matter  of  conjecture.  Whatever  may 
be  the  reason,  however,  it  is  very  certain 
that  so  long  as  the  Bounty  law  is  enforced 
the  production  of  bears  will  be  one  of  the 
leading  industries  of  the  State. 

Had  the  Maine  statesmen,  in  order  to  pre- 
serve bears  from  rapid  destruction,  passed 
a  law  forbidding  the  slaughter  of  the  ani- 
mals except  at  certain  specified  seasons, 
we  all  know  what  the  result  would  have 
been.  The  law  would  have  had  no  terrors 
for  the  Indians  and  hunters  of  the  wilder- 
ness, while  the  urban  sportsman  who,  in- 
stigated by  Rev.  Mr.  Murray  and  other 
professors  of  sylvan  mysteries,  visits 
the  Maine  woods  in  Simimer,  would 
have  shot  at  bears  and  disturbed 
their  ner\-ous  systems  all  the  more 
gladly  if  to  poor  shooting  were  added 
the  zest  of  a  safe  violation  of  law.  Th  us 
the  bears  would  gradually  have  been  shot 
and  annoyed  Out  of  existence,  and  in  a  few 
years  would  have  become  as  scarce  as  the 
moose  and  caribou  that  once  roamed  the 
Adirondack  woods. 

Determined  to  protect  their  bears,  the  as- 
tute Maine  law-makers  devised  a  plan  of  at- 
taining their  object  by  means  of  a  bounty 
law,  which,  while  ostensibly  offering  a 
reward  for  the  extermination  of  bears, 
would  actually  stimulate  their  production. 
A  law  was  therefore  passed  which  offered  a 
reward  for  the  scalp  of  every  bear  killed 
within  the  limits  of  the  State.  Mark  the  re- 
sult. The  Maine  farmer  soonperceived  that 
to  raise  bears  for  the  Government  market 
would  be  far  more  profitable  than  to  raise 
any  other  crop,  whether  of  a  vegetable  or 
porcine  nature.  The  man  who  raises  com 
or  pigs  makes  a  fair  profit  when  he  sells 
them ;  but  he  cannot  be  sure  of  a  purchaser, 
and  when  he«does  find  one  he  must  neces- 
sarily part  with  his  crops  before  he  receives 

his  money.  On  the  other  hand,  the  bear  cul- 
tivator is  alwaj-s  certain  that  the  State  will 
pay  five  dollars  for  fevery  bear  scalp,  and  that, 
in  addition,  he  will  retain  possession  of  the 
skin  and  flesh  of  the  animal.  Thus  there  is 
a  much  larger  percentage  of  profit  in  boar- 
raising  than  there  is  in  any  other  branch  of 
agriculture  or  of  stock-breeding.  Moreover, 
the  bearM^  a  safe  and  easy  crop.  A  single 
pail-  of  bea>s  will  average  three  cubs  yearly, 
and  are  neveiy molested  by  the  potato-bug, 
blasted  by  prolonged  drought,  or  mildewed 
by  dampness.  It  is  not  strange  that  as 
soon  as  the  true  purport  of  the  Bounty  law 
was  grasped  by  the  Maine  farmer,  he  ear- 
nestly set  about  the  cultivation  of  bears. 
Owing  to  that  innate  delicacy  which  renders 
the  New-England  farmer  so  proverbially 
shy  and  modest,  he  built  his  bear-pens  in 
secluded  places  and  kept  his  own  counsel  as 
to  the  business  until  he  was  ready  to  carry 
his  bears  to  market.  While  nearly 
every  really  enterprising  farmer  is 
now  generally  understood  to  raise  at  least 
one  annual  bear,  it  is  alleged  that  in  remote 
counties  men  having  the  command  of  capi- 
tal have  established  large  bear  nurseries, 
which  turn  out  a  score  or  two  of  bears  every 
year.  Thus,  although  in  New- York,  Ver- 
mont, and  New-Hampshire  the  bear  has  be- 
come exceedingly  rare,  the  bear  industry  of 
Maine  is  iuamostfloiurishingcondition.  Last 
year,  as  has  already  been  said,  the  bear  crop 
reached  549  scalp^.  This  year  it  is  confi- 
dently predicted  that  fully  800  bears  wiU 
be  broucht  to  market,  and  if  the  Bounty  law 


is  oontinaed  in  force  for  ten  years  longer, 
Maine  will  become  as  celebriated  for  her 
bears  as  Pennsylvania  is  for  coal  or  Ohio  for 
pork. 

^>ort8men  who  are  interested  .  in  the 
preservation  of  game  should  take  a  lesson 
from  the  example  of  Maine,  and  instead  of 
clamoring  for  laws  to  prevent  the  shooting 
of  deer  or  ducks  out  of  -season,  should  ask 
for  the  passage  of  a  bounty  law  which  would 
stimulate  th*  production  of  those  aninmls. 
Especially  snould  the  friends  of  the  noble 
red  man,  who  desire  to  preserve  him  from 
extinction,  lay  to  heart  the  lesson  of  the 
Maine  bears.  If  the  Federal  Government 
were  to  offer  five  dollars  reward  for  every  In- 
dian scalp,  is  it  not  in  the  highest  degree 
probable  that  the  people  of  the  West  would 
absmdon  the  cultivation  of  the  delicate  and 
uncertain  pig,  and  give  their  whole  minds 
to  the  preservation  and  cultivation  of  In- 
dians t  The  Bounty  law,  whether  applied 
to  bears  or  Indians,  is  a  form  of  protection, 
and  its  success  in  .stimulating  the  produc- 
tion of  American  bears  in  Maine,  and  in 
protecting  them  from  the  competition  of  the 
pauper  bears  of  Europe,  ought  to  convince 
every  one  who  is  not  bought  with  British 
gold  that  it  is  a  wise,  beneficent,  and  al- 
together admirable  measure.

3to  tht  Editor  of  tAe  JVrte-  York  Time»  :  ^ 

I  read  in  to-day's  edition  of  your  paper 
the  account  of  a  conversation  I  had  with  a  gen- 
tlemen, and  which  was  published  by  the  Boston 
Advertiser  of  the  4th  inst.  I  wish  first  to  thank 
this  kind  and  Intelligent  gentleman  for  bia 
courtesy  and  flattering  views  on  my  person.  In 
accomplishing  this  pleas:int  duty,  I  wish  also 
to  rectify  some  of  the  points  which  might  lead 
to  misunderstanding.  For  instance,  this  gen- 
tleman understood  that,  in  my  opinion,  *•  the 
Republicans  seem  to  side  with  Russia,  and  the 
Democrats  with  Turkey."  This  statement 
might  bring  forth  the  supposition  that  the 
United  States  are  divided  into  two  sia«3  on  the 
subject  of  the  actual  conflict,  according  to  their 
political  party  divisions.  However,  I  am  con- 
vinced that  many  Democrats  sympathize  with 
Russia,  and,  if  I  were  not  bound  by  professional 
reserve,  I  could  give  names  of  Republicans, 
prominent  either  In  poUtics,  in  military  circles, 
or  In  society,  who  have  given  us,  before  as  well 
as  since  the  breaking  out  of  hostilities  unequivo- 
cal proofs  of  their  high  impartiality,  and  even 
of  their  good  will  toward  my  country.  Turkey 
bas  always  kept  the  best  relations  with  all  the 
Administrations,  (Republican  or  Democratic.) 
which  have  In  succession  ruled  the  Cnittjd 
States,  and  we  would  be  ungrateful  if  we  did 
not  acknowledge  the  good  feeling'of  all  those, 
either  Democrats  or  RepubUcans,  who  sympa- 
thize with  us  in  the  present  struggle. 

In  regard  to  the  \-iolence  alluded  to  by  the 
aforesaid  gentleman.  1  have  never  hesitated  to 
acknowledge  and  to  deplore  that  sad  acts  of  re- 
taliation were  committed  last  year  in  Roume- 
lia  by  an  exasperated  population.  But  duriug 
the  present  war  the  correspondents  of  17  news- 
papers of  both  hemispheres  signed  at  Shumla 
a  declaration  stating  the  cruelties  committed  by 
the  invadeni  upon  old  men,  women,  and  chil- 
dren. 

The  statement  concerning  Col.  Valentine 
Baker  and  Sir.  Heurj-  Ward  Beecher  must  be 
corrected  in  the  following  way  :  I  was  asked 
tile,  other  day  by  au.\merican  gentleman  if  I  did 
notconsiderthatthe  appointment  of  so  notorious 
a  person  as  Col.  Baker  was  a  mistake.  I  told 
him  that  1  did  not  think  it  was  any  iiiore  incon- 
venient for  Turkey  to  accept  Col.  Bakers  ser- 
vices than  it  is  for  Russia  to  be  the  object  of 
the  moral  support  that  Rev.  Henry  AVard 
Beecher  publicly  offers  to  that  country 'from  the 
pulpit. 

As  I  fear  I  am  using  too  freely  the  hospitality 
of  your  important  paper.  I  must  limit  here  my 
communication,  and  I  beg  you  to  accept  my  an- 
ticipated thanks,  as  well  as  the  assurance  of  my' 
most  distinguished  consideration.

SCRAKTON.  Pfnn.,  Sunday.  Aug.  5.  1877. 

Of  course,  the  employers  of  the  miners 
and  mill  men  have  their  side  o^  the  dispute  be- 
tween labor  and  capital,  and  the  subject  is  not 
likely  to  be  fully  understood  If  both  sides  are 
not  allowed  to  state  their  i>ositions.     The  strike 
here  is  not  a  simple  matter.    It  is  as  complex  as 
it  could  well  be.  and,  so  far  as  I  can  ascertain,  it 
began  with  those  who  had  least  cause  for  com- 
plaint.    The  railroad  strike  on  the  Pennsylvania 
Road  precipitated  the  general  movement.    The 
Tue.sday  after  the   firing  on  the  mob  at  Pitt* 
burg  round-house,  which   occnrred  on  July  21, 
the  mill  men  of  the  Lackawanna  Iron  and  CoaJ 
Company  came  out  with  a  dt- mand  for  an  ad- 
vance of  1^5  per  cent,  on  their  wages.    Not  only 
did  th*y  quit  work,  but  without  delay  compelled 
all  the  men  in  the  city  who  were  at  work  in  the 
large  shops  to  break  off  with  them.  wheth« 
they  had  grievances  or  not.     The    Ijackawanns 
Iron  and  Coal  Companyemploy  about  2,000  men, 
and  their  numbers  were  large  enough  to  terrify 
the  few  men  who  would  have  chosen  to  resist. 
The  company  have  been   running  their  blo^-t 
furnaces  without  interruption,  and  their    rail 
mills   were   busy.       Rails   have   fallen   in   price 
from  $02  to  $45  within  a  short  time,  yet  theii 
men  had  not  been  reduced  until  rerenlly.  and 
the  effect  of  the  reduction  had  not  been  asce^ 
tained.  and  the  strike    therefore   anticipated   it. 
The  men  who  struck  on  Tuesday.  July  21.   had 
been  doing  much  better  than  the    Delaware, 
Lackawanna  and  "Western  miner*!,  as  will  be  seen 
from  tlie  figures  wMch  are  given    below.      But 
there  must  have  been   some  bad  men   among 
them.     They  set  fire  to   the   shops   of   the  com-' 
pany,  but  the  flames  were  fortunately  extin- 
guislied  before  much  damage  was  done.      They 
beat  old  men  and  young  men.  and  Father  Dunn, 
the       Catholic        priest      who      saved      Mayoi 
McKune's      life.      was     barely     able     to     keen 
the       mob       from       trampliiig       tiie       Mayoi 
beneath     their     feet.       Generally,     the    mer 
of  the  Lackawanna  Iron  and  Coal  Company  hare 
been  well  emoloyed.     In  looking  over  the  books 
of  the  company,  which  were  kindlj*  opeUf^d  for 
my  inspection,  I  found  that  the  average  amounts 
per  month  credited  to  miners  was  about  $45  ; 
to  heaters  in  the  iron  tnills.  $tjO  to  $65 ;    to 
heaters  in  the  steel- works,  $50   to  $65.  while 
commozfe  laborers   were    earning   from   $25   to 
$30  a  month.     The    Lackawanna  Iron  and  Coa) 
Company  has  a  different  system  of  paying  its 
men  than  that  in  vogue  with  the   Dt;law.ire, 
Lackawanna    and    Western.     In    the  latter    a 
miner  is  paid  all'  he  earns,  and  he  then  gays  bis 
helper  one-third  of  the   earnings.     In    the  Coid 
and  Iron  Company  a  man  is  credited  with  the 
number  of  cars  of  coal  mined,  at  &St2  cents  or 
75  cents  a  car — the  last  price  the  one  of  March 
15,  when  the  reduction  took   place.     In, looking 
over  the  lists  of  payments  to  several  miners 
who  were  picked  out  at  random,  I   found   that 
they  had  made  all  sorts  of  wages,  ilepending 
upon  the  ^l^i^l  of  the  man,  varying  from  $37  up 
to   $70   per    month.      Exceptional    coses   were 
found    where    men    had    earned    as    much    af 
$100    in    a   month,    besides     his     help    hire, 
and    in    the    dull    month    of    June  ihis   man 
made    $53.     Men   who   were    employ^ed    to   do 
day  work  in  the  mines  earned  iroui    $1S  to  $iJ?? 
and  $32.  the  average  being  about  $25.     On  the 
blast  furnace  helpers  earned    about  $2S.    fire- 
men about    $34,    and  common    laborers    from 
$30  to  $40.  The  men  in  the  iron-mill  who  wer« 
making  about  $50  a  month    were    the    ffrst    tc    ^ 
ask  for  the  advance  of  25  per    cent.     The    pud 
dlers.  paid  about  $1  75.  a    day,    were    getting' 
about  $30  a  month  on  an  average.  The  heaters 
of  steel  rails,  men  who  are  skilled    laborers,  did 
very  well.  One  man.  whcm  I  selected  at  random 
from  a  page  of  the  ledger,  -was  credited  with  $97 
in  March.  $101  in  April.  $77  in   Mcy,  and  $03 
in  June.  Helpers  to  the  last  named  class  were  ave- 
raging about  $50  a  month.  Boys  were  employed 
in  various  capacities  as  slate  pickers  and  in  the 
foundries-     These  ticures  show   what    the   mtn 
have  been  earuing  as  represented    by    the    com-     \ 
pany's  books,  during  several  dull   months  when 
the  business  wa.s  not  good   enough   13   werrairt 
pushing  the  foundries  and  blast  furnaces  to  their 
fullest        capacitj-,        but      wliile      there      was 
too    much     doing      to      permit        the       blasts 
to        chill      or      the       rolUug-miUs      to     st'>p. 
The    figures    show   the   net   earnings  of   the 
miners,  who  earned  enough  in  addition  to  pay 
the  helpers,  or  men  who    load  the  coal   oa   ears 
after  it   is  hlasted  out.     Most   of   the  men   em- 
ployed by  the  company  purchase  their  family 
supplies  at  the  company's  store.     This  is  in  a 
large  buildiu*  containing  four  shops,  in  which 
may  be  found  nearly  everything  which  could  be 
ueeded    in   a  house — groceries,  dry  goods,  hard- 
ware, crockery,  boots   and   shoes,  and  tin-ware, 
and  the  company  officers  say  that    the   goods     \ 
are   of   excellent    quality,   that    they  are  pur- 
chased    at      low     rates,      and     can     be      sold 
and  are  sold  to  the  tniners   at  the  lowest- market 
prices.     Mr.    W.  W.  Scranton  is  the  manager  of 
the  store,  and  he  very  readily  afforded  me  al 
the  opportunity  I  desired  to  inspect  the  books.  . 
He  denied  the  charge  that   ho  had  ever  asserted 
that  he  would  **  have  miners  at  work  yet  fur  35 
cents    a   day."    and   said  that  he  had  never   e.X- 
pressed  himself  in   such    a  manner.    He  said, 
moreover,   that  none  ii>f  his  e;iiployes  were  com- 
pelled  to    buy    at    ^he    company's   store,      it 
they     thought    they     could    du     bettor     else- 
where,   they     were'     always      at      liberty      to 
purchase  where  they  chose.*     He    knew  that  thto 
majority  of  tlie  men  were  well  distwsed   tuward 
the  company,  and  ready  to  resume  work,  but  by 
the  mischievous  talk  of  half  a  dozen  young  and 
ready  leaders  they  had   been  roused  up  to  de- 
mand an  advance  of  25  per  cent.,  to  comply 
with  which  was  out  of  the   question,  and   would 
never  be  done.     ?VIr.    Ser:in;on   showed   me   lh» 
pay-roll   sheets   for  several   months,   and  from 
them  1  ascertained  that  the  compauy   in   March 
employed 2, 24 !>  men  and  boys,  to  whom  they  paid 
$74,000.  an  average    of    $33   per  head,      in 
April  they  paid  2.21s  men  $01,000,  or  an  av- 
erage of  :^2>*  per  man  and  boy.     In   May  there 
werv  l!.l-io  i^ersuns  who  earned  $tiS.2O0,  or  au 
avenige  of  $30,  and  in  June  1!.13U  inen  earned 
$03,1>00,  or  an  average  of  about  $30  each.      It 
must  be  remembered  that  the  tuine  gangs,  uum; 
berlng  about  000  each,  include  aboui  -00  boys, 
working    at    wages    varying    from  $1  to  $10 
a  month.     The  Lackawanna  Coal  and  iron  Com- 
pany have  neverr*il|sr*Scrant<m    said,   feared 
anystrike  by  tbeir  miners,  as  they  have  a  coil- 
tract  with  ttieir  men  by  wliich  they  are  bound 
to  keep  at    work    when  other  men  strike,  with  , 
the  understanding  that  any  advance  in  priqes  by 
other    companies  will  always  be  equaled  by  the 
Lackawanna    Coal    and    Iron    Company.     The 
books  show    that    the    men    have  l^lances  due 
them  in    a  larg^    number   of   cases,  while  a  few 
men  are  in  the  company's  debt.     Mr.    S«:rautoii, 
the  manager,  is    a    vigorous,    fearless    man,  of 
perhaps     35      or     40,    who     is     known     in 
Scranton        as       the       man       who       boldly 
confronted     the      strikers     in     lb73,   •  whet 
they  attempted    to    interfere    with   substitutes 
whom  he  had  obtained  to  break  the  long  strike, 
and   whom    he   effectually   dispersed  after  two 
men  had  been  shot  dead.  '  He  was  in   the  posse 
who  shot  into  the  mob  on  I^ackawanua-avenoe 
last  Wednesday,  and  although   he  has  been  se- 
verely rated  by  a  few  iujudici_»/us  persons,   the 
act    is    commended     by    propertv-owners   and 
good  citizens  as  one  which  saved  life  and  prop^ 
erty,  and  prevented  much  violeence  and  avertec 
shame  from  Scraut^iU.

■B  the  coal  tfaAt  could  be  brought  out  gf 
them.  The  miners  flocked  to  the  region, 
ud  dnring  the  war,  when  nearly  all  the*  men 
vmplored  "were  foreigners,  they  constantly 
bion^ht  ont  friends  and  relatives,  until  the 
■capcity  of  labor  that  had  for  a  time  existed 
cemaeu,  and  when  the  panic  came,  in  1873,  it 
'Was  suddenly  found  that  the  supply  of  coal 
would  have  to  be  limited,  and  there  soon  came 
complaints  of  lack  of  employment.  Retrench- 
ment bocame  necessary,  and  the  company  was 
compelled  to  adont  a  plan  of  working  part  of 
its  mines  and  regulating  the  supply  of  eoal  some- 
what by  the  demand.  A  system  was  at  length 
arranged  of  working  the  mines  alternately,  with 
a  view  of  at  once  keeping  the  mines  in 
otder,  free  from  gas  and  water,  and  of 
famishing  all  the  miners  with  an  equal  amount 
of  the  work  that  was  to  be  done.  The  com- 
pany's prices  of  1871  were  not  changed  at  the 
time  of  the  1873  panic  They  remained  high 
untilJanuary,  18/5,  when  there  was  a  general 
reduction  of  10  per  cent.  In  September,  1876, 
^ere  was  another  reduction  of  10  percent., 
which  the  officers  say  was  only  made  because  it 
was  absolutely  necessary.  In  March  last  a  third 
reduction — this  time  of  15  per  cent. — was  or- 
dered, and  the  whole  range  of  men  were  then 
paid  35  per  cent  less  than  they  had  received 
four  years  previous.  The  books'  or  pay-rolls  of 
the  company  show  that  the  average  of  wages 
paid  to  the  miners  during  last  month  was  about 
$18  or  $19.  The  company  does  not  now,  nor 
has  it  ever  owned,  a  store,  preferring  to  pay  the 
men  in  cash,  and  let  them  get  along  with  their 
xaoney  as  they  shall  themselves  determine.  The 
effectof  the  reductions  on  the  various  grades  of 
workmen  can  be  ascertained  by  reference  to  a 
table  of  rates  published  two  days  ago  in 
The  Times.  That  rate  was  "fixed  be- 
cause the  company  felt  that  it  could 
not  continue  to  pay  the  prices  that  had 
been  paid  before.  The  company  is  not  better 
prepared  to  make  an  advance  than  it  was  a  year 
ago,  and  it  is  put  of  the  question  to  suppose  for 
a  moment  that  the  order  of  reduction  can  be  re- 
Bcinded.  If  it  had  been  possible  to  abandon 
several  of  the  mines  at  once,  they  would  have 
been  closed  long  ago.  But  the  mines  are  so 
constructed  that  if  the  pumps  were  stopped 
which  are  used  to  keep  one  clear  of  water,  not 
only  would  that  one  fill  up.  but  several  others 
communicating  with  it  would  be  flooded.  Dur- 
ing dull  times  the  pumps  must  be  worked,  al- 
though they  are  a  constant  expense,  and  the 
tases  are  always  accumulating  on  the  land. 

The  pireetors  say  they  are  not  insensible  to 
■the  difficulties  which  the  men  have  had  to  en- 
counter, but  say  also  that  they  have  done  the 
best  they  could  to  keep  all  the  men  employed 
for  a  part  of  the  time,  preferring  to  distribute 
the  work  to  giving  it  out  to  a  few  to  the  ex- 
clusion of  the  rest.

In  an  address  before  the  North  Carolina  Uni-

Merrimori  spoke  very  freely  upon  the  subj^t  of  pub- 
lic evils  in  the  State  and  the  remedies  for  them. 
The  correspondent  of  the  Raleigh  (X.  C.)  Seics  thus 
raportshim:  "  The  circumstances  of  the  State  re- 
quire words  of  plainness  and  thoiight.  "Wfe  ought  to 
understand  our  position  in  the  State,  and  to  inquire 
into  our  evils  to  find  the  causes  and  apply  the  reme- 
dies for  them.  The  State  and  people  are  as  a  sick 
man.  Paljlic  evils  are  too  rampant,  and  have  gone 
to  the  v^ry  vitals  of  our  State.  It  is  our 
dnty  to  inquire  into  these  evils  and  to  eradicate 
them  if  -possible,  or  check  them  as  best  we  can. 
VThen  North  Carolina  entered  the  Union  it  was  the 
third  State,  and  had  a  population  of  about  400.000. 
Its  people  were  above  meCliocrity.  and  were  not  to  be

FEDERAL  OFFICERS  AND  POLITICS. 

POSITIONS  OP  THE  VARIOUS  STATE  ASSOCtA- 
TIOXS  AT  THE  CAPITAL — DISBANDMEKT 
OP  SOME — CHANGES  IN  THE  CONSTITU- 
TIONS OP  OTHERS  TO  CONFORM  TO  THE 
PRESIDENT'S  ORDER. 

Speeial  Dixpateh  to  the  NeuyTork  Times, 

Washington,  Aug-.  5. — Since  the  pulijli- 
cation  of  tb<»  Presidenfs  order  forbidding 
Federal  office-holders  from  taking  an  active 
part  in  election  matters,  considerable  interest 
has  been  manifested  to  ascertain  what  action 
the  varions  State  associations,  which  exist 
here  would  take  with  reference  to  the  mat- 
ter. These  associations  are  composed  entirely 
of  Federal  office-holders,  and  are  organized  to 
assist  the  Republican  Party  in  their  respectiTe 
State's.  During  political  caiupaig:n5  they  per- 
form efficient  service  in  sending  outjdocumehts 
and  defraying  the  expenses  of  voters  from 
Washington  to  their  homes.  The  interpreta- 
tion given  by  the  President  to  his  or- 
der will  prevent  such  work  in  the  fu- 
ture, and  in  consequence  some  of  the 
Associations  in  whose  States  no  election  will  be 
heldneit  Fall  have  formally  disbanded.  The 
MicMgaii  Association  have  concluded  to  main- 
tain their  organization,  but  have  eliminated 
politico  from  their  constitution,  and  now  declare 
that  ■•  the  object  of  the  association  shall  be' 
the  advancement  of  the  sociid  interests  of 
its  members  •  and  residents  of  Slichigan 
who  may  be  temporarily  sojourning  in 
■U'aAington."  A  State  election  -n-ill  be  held  In 
Michi^n  next  Fall,  and  it  will  be  strange  if 
members  of  the  ii.'Jsociation,  many  of  whom  are 
active  and  experienced  politicians,  will  refrain 
from  performing  service,  individually  and  col- 
lectivelv.  to  insure  a  Republican  triumph  in 
that  State.  Their  action  in  altering 
their  constitution,  so  far  as  the  or- 
ganization is  concerned,  technically  places 
them  outside  of  the  President's  order.  The 
New-York  Association,  at  their  meeting  last 
night  to  consider  this  question,  chose  a  com- 
mittee of  five  to  submit  to  the  nest  meeting 
aniendments  to  their  constitution,  so  as  to  place 
the  association  ou  a  footing  consistent  with  the 
President's  order  relating  to  Federal  office- 
holders. This  looks  as  though  the  members  of 
the  association  would  maiutaiu  their  organiza- 
tion on  the  plan  adopted  by  the  Jlichigan  Asso- 
ciation, and  it  is  probable  the  othors  will  follow 
the  same  course.

TBE  FAMINE  IN  INDIA. 


PROSPECT  IMPROVED,  BUT  STILL  GLOOMY 
— SEVERE  DISTRESS  FOR  SOME  MONTHS 
LONGER  FEARED. 

London,  Aug.   6. — The  Ttmesf  Calcutta 

correspondent  summarizes  the  latest  intelli- 
gence of  the  sittiation  in  the  fatnine- 
stricken  districts  from  official  reports  as 
follows :  "  The  prospects  for  the  harvea* 
are  somewhat  improved,  but  on  the  whole 
gloomy,  as  rain  is  generally  insufficient.  Very 
severe  distress  will  probably  continue  for  some 
months  longer.  It  must  not  be  supposed  that 
famine  is  imminent  elsewhere  than  in 
Madras.  Still,  in  view  of  the  condition  of 
|Southem  India,  the  general  deficiency  in  the 
rain  fall  cahses  grave  anxiety.

DRIVE  CUT  OR  DESTROY  THE  PROMINENT 
MEMBERS  OF  THE  PARTY. 

Special  Dispatch  to  the  jVcto  Y'ork  Timta. 

Washington,  Aug.  5. — Johu  R.  Cochran, 
Chairman  of  the  Democratic  Investigating  Com- 
mittee of  the  South  Carolina  Le^slature,  which 
is  now  engasred  in  the  work  of  persecuting 
prominent  I?epuhlican3  of  that  State,  was  a  no- . 
tprious  lobbyist  during  the  administration  of 
Gov.  Scott,  who  has  often  been  heard  to  declare 
that,  had  i:  not  been  for  the  evil  influencea  of 
Cochran  and  others  associated  with  him,  he 
[Gov.  Scoil]  would  have  been  able,  t^  defeat 
much  of  the  jobbery  practiced  by  the  Legisla- 
ture duriug  las  admiuistration.  Cochran  not 
only  championed  all  the  big  jobs  which  were 
curried  through  tin.-  Leirisluture  at  that  time, 
but  was  the  medium  employed  for  imposing 
worthless  tracts  of  land  owued  by  Democrats 
upon  the  notorious  La:ul  Commission  which 
was  created  by  the  Legi-^lature  to  purchase 
lands  for  sale  in  suiall  farms  among  poor  peo- 
ple. The  fact  that  this  man  Cochran  is  now 
employed  by  the  Democrats  to  persecute  Repub- 
licans* shows  to  what  depths  the  Democrats;  of 
South  Carolina  have  descended.

ITRIAL  OP  MME.  GRAS — HER  VICTIM'S  TESTI- 
TmONJr— THE  CONSPIRACACr— HOW  THE 
FEMAtiE   FIEND   CAME    TO   BE     ARRESTED. 

The  Paris  correspondent  of  the  London  Times 
itelegrapbs  on  July  2-i.  as  follows  :  "  The  hearing  of 
the  \'itriol-tl  trowing  case  was  continued  to-day,  when 
the  victim  of  the  outrage,  M.  Rene  De  La  Roche,  was 
I  examined.  Aiter  stating  that  his  relations  with  the 
Ifemale  prisoner  Gras  conunenced  In  January,  1875, 
iandthathe  resided  sometimes  in  Paris,  sometimes  in 
,the  country',  occasionally  traveling  abroad,  he  added : 
'  On  the  lo^h  of  January  last  I  went  to  dine  with  the 
female  prisoner  in  the  Rue  de  Boulogne,  then 
went  home  to  dress,  returned  about  11,  and  re- 
Imained  abcut  an  hour;  we  took  a  cab  to  the 
opera,  agreeiing  to  meet  at  the  bead  of  the  grand 
staircase  about  2  :  we  took  a  cab  for  the 
prisoner's  hbme  and  alighted  at  the  gate  ;  I  paid  the 
ciibuian  aud  rang  the  bell ;  while  going  up  the  ave- 
nue to  the  house  I  saw  a  figure  advance  from  the 
wall  and  tlirow  something  ut  me ;  I  felt  terrible 
pain  in  the  ilace,  shrieked  aloud,  and  knew  that  I  was 
blinded  for  the  rest  of  my  life  ;  T  moimted  the  stairs 
to  the  rooms  of  Mme.  Gras.  aud  a  herbalist  In 
the  neighborhood  was  sent  for ;  Mme.  Gras 
nursed  mt|  and  the  next  day  a  doctor  came ; 
Mme.  Gras  came  to  see  me  at  Rouen  in 
1875.  wheii  I  was  doing  my  1'2  months'  military  Vol- 
unteer service  ;  I  never  stayed  liut'a  month'  at  a 
time  in  Paris,  and  she  never  followed  uie  on  my 
travels;  in|  1876  I  went  to  Egvpt  ^nd  Italy,  con- 
stantly corfespondiuK  with  her  :  I  authorized  her  to 
have  afbesu  to  my  Paris  rooms  in  my  absence.  I  re- 
ported much  confi'dence  in  her  and  loved  her  much, 
though  aha  was  15  vears  my  senior  ;  from  the 
15th  of  Oj'tober  to  the  SOth  of  December  last  I 
was  constantly  in  Paris,  and,  on  leaving,  promL^ted  to 
take  her  tojthe  Opera  ball ;  I  thought  her  wish  to  go 
strange  ana  dan^rous,  as  she  had  but  just  recov. 
ered  trum  bronchitis.  I  had  never  been  seen  with 
her  in  public  before,  and  iu  corre-spondence  I  had 
tried  to  divert  her  from  the  plan.  My  relations  with 
her  were  probably  known  to  my  family,  who  had 
talked  of  fijding  a  wife  for  me.  but  never  seriously. 
I  saw  nobody  at  all  but  the  prisoner  in  her  house. 
While  she  MTas  dressing  I  was  sometimes  In  her  bed- 
room, sometimes  in  the  dining-room.  I  do  not  re- 
member her  saying.  "Leave  me  alone,  I  shall  not 
have  time  ti>  dress.'' 

As  to  the  la«  part  of  this  deposition,  it  sliotild  bo 
explained  [that  the  fo'mdrj'maii  Goudry.  who  w 
chanjcd  wii  h  hnvinjr  carried  out  the  diabolical  scheme 
of  Mm.  Grji.s.  weni'to  the  house  at  night,  while  his 
\i<'tim  was  away  dn";siug.  and  on  the  return  of  the 
latter  was  placed  by  Mm.  Gras  in  a  dark  closet,  where 
he  could  hear  the  conversation.  According 
to  Gondrr.  M.  De  la  Rofhe  hindered  her 
dressing,  whereupon  she  told  him  to  go  to 
the  dinine  room  and  Iwik  at  a  book  lie  wonld 
there.  When  she  had  dressed  she  went 
to  Gomlry  vrith  a  candle,  said  to  hira,  '*  Vuis  coining- 
jc  siiU  belM,"  kis>>ed  him.  and  swore  if  he  did  what 
.«he  had  directed  him  she  would  roarrj'  him  within 
three  months.  After  the  pair  had  loft  he  went  into 
the  dininij:]room.  fnuiid  Montaigiie'ii  K^jiaiM  there,

ducers,  merchants,  railroad  orapluVLS.  and  ^cap- 
italists, so  that  on  any  quc.sti'-n  a  fair  compro- 
mise maybe  effected.  A  lueinber  of  the  Cabinet, 
in  a  recent  conversation,  spf'ke  of  this  plan,  nii'l 
argued  that  Congress  has  the  riiiht  to  puss  CTirh 
a  law  under  the  clau'^e  of  the  Constitution 
authorizing  that  body  to  rejjulnte  commcjee  \viih 
fr^rei^n  nations  and  amontr  the  several  States 
and  with  the  Indian  tribes.  He  furtherargu^d  that 
the  theory  ufHiU  which  our  Government  is  found- 
ed is  one  of  compromise.  He  thou^yht  Congres'* 
in  its  wisdom  would  devise  a  proper  method  of 
appointing  this  commission,  so  that  it  should,  not 
be  open  to  undue  infiuences,  but  be  composed 
of  persons  representing  all  interests.  He  did 
not  favor  the  Federa!  Government  having  com- 
plete control  of  the  matter,  because  it  has  been 
proposed  to  have  a  Bureau  of  Industry.  He 
thought  this  would  fail  to  effect  the  object  desired 
to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned.  Besides. 
such  a  plan  would  be  open  to  the 
objection  of  consoiicUitinK  the  busines  in- 
terests of  the  country  in  the  Creneral  Govem- 
meni.  and  wotdd  be  in  opposition  to  our  repre- 
sentative system  of  Goveriiment.  Another 
point  referred  to  in  the  conversation  was  the 
fact  that  a  representative  commission  might  be 
vested  with  power  to  examine  into  the  desira- 
bility of  chartering  new  rcUroads ;  that  it 
might  require  certain  conditions  to  be  fulfilled, 
so  as  to  establish  a  i-easonable  certaintj.'  that  a 
projected  road  would  be  remunerative,  and  that 
the  company  would   have  means  to  pay  foij  its

-which  shall  shed  a  better  influence  ove^  the  State. 
How  are  our  mines  developed — the  great  wealth  of 
the  old  North  State  f  In  looking  over  the  mining  re- 
ports I  saw  everv  State  and  county  in  the  world  rep- 
resented except  IJ^orth  Carolina,  and  my  head  was 
bowed  with  shame.  Ilhteracy  In  North  Carolina 
makes  a  darker  spot  in  omr  history  than  in  any  land 
of  English'SpeaKlng  tongue.  "What  we  need

at  the  soil  and  tell  what  is  needed. 
Tench  men  that  work  is  honorable,  and  not  to  work 
Is  dishonorable,  and  let  society  frown  upon  the  slug- 
gard. Mechanics  should  be  educated.  Boot-makers 
■hould  understand  drawing  and  the  physiology  of  the 
toot.  In  darkness  and  Ignorance  men  cannot  make 
citizens,  but  let  education,  practical  as  well  as  theo-

Stat«:.Rnd  from  its  eitremest  limits  it  will  blossom 
and  itiMiitizens  will  be  an  honor  to  it.  A  comparison 
bctwe^  North  Carolina  and  Ohio  showed  how  much 
more  advanced  the  latter  State  Is.  Ohio  came  into 
the  Union  in  IBO'2  with  the  thirteenth  position.  Now 
sb*  occupied  the  position  we  once  held  and  we 
have  fallen  one  brdiind  her  starting  point,  be- 
ing now  tu-**  fourteenth  State.  In  every  particular 
•ava  one  or  two  OLio  surpasses  North  Carohna.  Why 
are  <hese  thiue^  thus  ?  Some  say  that  tbev  have

This  is  *'^  some  oxcont  tvnc,  hut  there  is  another  and

to  come,  the  (Jovernment  being  able  to  projvide 
for  the  Antiy  at  one  point  just  as  well  as  at  an- 
other, and  there  being  ample  facilities  for:  the 
maintenance  of  the  troops  in  the  States  above 
mentioned.  At  Rock  Island,  111.,  Fort  [  Mc- 
Henr>',  near  Baltimore,  Allegheny  Arsenal  at ! 
Pittsburg,  aud  other  public  buildings  ad. 
to  the  larze  cities,  detachments  can  bi 
fortably  quartered,  so  there  is  no  necessity  Xor 
ordering  troops  back,  to  the  barracks  occupied 
bv  them  before  the  railroad  strike.  Many  of 
these  troops,  it  will  be  remembered,  were  sta- 
tioned in  the  South  ;  therefore  that  section,  will 
now  be  without  Federal  soldiers. 

The  whole  subject  of  issuing  military  supplies, 
arms.  &c..  is  now  under  the  direct  management 
of  Gen.  Hancock,  in  the  Military  Division  of  the 
Atlantic;  Lieut. -Gen.  Sheridan,  in  the  Division 
of  the  Missouri,  and  Uen.  McDowell,  ^in  the 
Division  of  the  Pacific.  Heretofore  the  isatie  of 
arms  and  supplies  to  the  Army  has  been  through 
the  respective  bureaus  of  the  War  Department 
in  Washington ;;  but  since  the  recent  troubles 
commenced  it  has  been  deemed  proper  to  leave 
this  matter  in  the  hands  of  the  military  com- 
manders mentioned,  who  can  supply  their 
troops  without  delay,  as  the  exigencies  of  the 
service  may  reliuire.  ^         I

ing from  Dover:  "A  curious  incident  occurred  at  a 
marriage  at  .St.  Mary's  Parish  Church  here  this  morn- 
ing. A  Freuch  couple  from  Calais,  havingbeen  staying 
in  the  tonu  a  sufScient  length  of  time  to  have  the 
banns  published  in  this  church,  came  up  this  morn-

factorily until  tbo  joining  of  hands  and  the  putting 
ou  of  the  rin£,  when  it  w«s  discoveired  that  the 
Frenchman  had  no  ring.  There  was  an  awkward 
pause.  No  one  in  the  company  could  lend  a  ring  for 
the  occasion;  whereunon  the  officiating  clergyman 
(Rev.  Mr.  Pinley)  sent  the  verger  for  the  cnurch- 
door  key.  the  eye  of  which  instnmient  has  been 
used  in  other  places  in  similar  emergencies.  It  was 
found,  hojwever,  that  the  eve  was  not  rfUffieiently 
lanje  to  admit  the  bride's  hnger.  The  bridegroom 
searched  his  pockets  .-igain.  and  brought  out  a  bunch 
of  key.s  attached  to  a  ring.  This  nng.  with  its  ap- 
pendages, was  placed  on  the  book,  from  thcnce  it  was

STEALIXO  WOliKJIEyS  WAGES. 
Detective  Doyle,  of  the  Sixteenth  Precinct, 
last  night  arrested  Charles  B.  Valentine,  of  No.  84 
Horatio-street,  for  a  very  mean  theft  perpetrated  by 
him  on  Saturday  evening.  Valentine  is  employed 
by   Peter !  Black,     of    No.      102   West     Twenty- 


for  stock  subscription^.  These  were  subse- 
quently withdrawn  arid  replaced  with  mort- 
gages on  swamp  lotsj  wild  land,  depressed 
stocks,  and  other  so-called  securities,  worth  lit- 
tle more  thai^the  pape|r  they  were  written  on. 
Among  the  first  batch  of  securities  deposited  with 
the  Insurance  Department  at  Springfield,  was  a 
mortgage  on  a  lot  of  svvramp  land  bordering  on 
Calmnet  Lake,  and  well  calculated  for  the  propa- 
gation of  bull-frogs,  mud-turtles,  and  swamp 
grass.  Agencies  were  established  In  all 
sectiona  of  the  county,  aud  blank 
policies  scattered  about  ,with  a  lavish 
hahd,  andl  vigorous  j  efforts  made  to  secure 
a  big  business.  The  policy-holders  were  divided 
into  separate  classes,  according  to  age. 
Every  member,  on  Securing  a  policy  was 
obliged  to  pay  a  fee  of  $10  or  $20. 
The  policies  were  of  three  kinds— $1,250 
$2,50Q  and  $5,000.  Ettch  policy  stipulated  that 
the  holder  shoulcL  annually  pay  a  sum  of  from 
$3  toi  $5  as  meimbership  dues,  and 
in  addition  agreed  to  pay  on  th  e 
death  of  any  policjy-holder  his  pro  rata 
of  a  sum  sufficient  to  liquidate  the  amount  for 
which  deceased  was  Insured,  provided  the  policy- 
holders liable  to  .such  contribution  exceeded  the 
number  of  dolla'ra  for|  which  the  deceased  was 
insure4-  Should  the  number  of  policy-holders 
have  been  less  than  the  amount  insured,  then 
each  member  agreed  to  pay  a  pro  rats,  so  tliat 
the  heirs  of  the  deceased  should  receive  as  many 
dollars  las  there  were  members  of  the  company. 
It  was  further  stipulated  that  all  moneys  col- 
lected by  ^sessment  should  be  applied  only 
to  the  payment  of  death  losses.  The  officers  of 
the  compapy  at  its  organization  were  S.  S. 
Skinner,  ifresident ;  L.  P.  Hilliard,  Vice-Presi- 
dent :  John  E.  Frye,  Secretary,  and  John  B. 
Shepherd,  j  Treasurer.  The  lust  named  Indi- 
vidual iwas  engaged  in  running  a  private  bank, 
which  one  fine  morning  placarded  its  failure  on 
its  door.       I 

In  lijf73  the  company  was  in  a  desperate  con- 
dition., It  I  could  not  pay  its  death  lo-^tse-s,  aud 
banknjptcv  Istared  it  in  the  face.  At  this  junc- 
ture, E.  "^Vl.  Edwards  aud  John  Keid  of  this 
city  took  charge  of  it.  securing  a  controlling  in- 
terest, j  Itijwas  reorganized,  and  Hilliard  be- 
came pro3i<b'iit,*and  Edwards  was  made  Secre- 
tary, and  -Keid  Vice-President.  Some  of  the 
worthless  I  securities  were  withdrami,  and 
others  |of  e^ual  value,  which  wtre  winke^l  at  by 
the  Insunihce  _  Oepartnient.  wero  deposited  in 
their  place.!  Prom  the  day  of  its  or^^nizarion 
the  ineml>ersbip  fee  ix'ceipts  were  insufficient 
to  meet  the  expensus  of  the  company.  Many  nf 
tho  poli'-y-holders  would  pay  s*everal  death 
as.sessment.s  and  quit.  The  concern  gnrw 
rapidly  from  bad  to  worse,  and  when  the  change 
nf  management  took  place  it  was  $:J0O,00O 
worse  off  tlian  nothincr.  and  is  now 
over  jJT.OO.OiH)  in  d.fault.  the  Edwards- 
Keid  management  is  characterized  as  a  regular 
plundering  system.  It  consisted  in  carrying 
fonvam  thje  deaths  among  its  policy:holders  for 
from  tlireeto  six  months,  and  in  colb-ctinp:  as- 
sessiu«nts  from  the  policy-holders  in  order  to 
pay  lojssea  Caused  by  the  death  of  persons 
who  never  had  an  existence.  A  more  diuboli- 
cul  scheme  for  rohbing  the  public  was  never 
invent€<l,  if  the  statements  in  the  apnlica- 
tion  for  guQ  wnrrnnio  are  true.  It  is  alleged 
in  aflldavitB  that  death  assos-sjiifiits  iv>llecte<i 
Wf-re  dJivtrtcd  to  the  use  of  Edwards  and  Keid. 
More  Ithan  this,  it  lis  .said  the  company 
in.stin^tfd  a  .system  of  'iaring  forward 
deaths  so  that  poUoy-holdev^.  i-ven  ihou;:li 
they  caibe  iu  after  a  dt-ath.  had 
to  pay  a  porrion  of  the  policy.  In  June,  the  af-

K.  >t.  |\Voods.  Examiner  of  the  Insurance  De- 
partni^ut  c|f  this  State,  was  sent  here  to  look 
intfl  thf  (jdnipany's  condition.  He  reported 
that  ^  Ht  as  ho  could  ascertain  the  company 
was  all  right.  It  is  alleged  that  matters  were 
so  fixed  up  between  Edwards  and  the  Auditor 
that  the  lat:er,  knowing  the  company  mu.>*t  (fo 
under  land!  its  rottenness  be  exposed, allowed  the 
Officers  of  Protection  to  withdraw  all  the 
valuable  securities  there  were,  $10,000  in  the 
stock  ^f  thij  Fintt  National  Bank  of  ( ■arlinviUe. 
The  remainder  of  the  securities  are  said  to  be 
entirely  worthless,  yet  Mr.  Woods  reported  that 
the  coinpany  had  a  clt*ar  surplus  of  over  $10O,- 
000  over  li  ibilities.

compju'ny  to  show  cause  \*hy  it  should  continue

Mr,  Charles  A.  Hartley,  consulting  engl^^r 
to  the  European  Commission  of  the  Danube,  vrciXi 
to  the  London  Time*  on  July  23  as  follows :  "  The 
official  news  which  has  juat  reached  England  that  the 
Russians  have  sunk  several  barxres  laden  with  stone 
in  the  Stdina  branch  of  the  Danube,  backing  them  up 
with  a  mass  of  stone,  so  as  to  leave  only  four  feet  of 
water  on  the  sill  thus  formed,  is  of  a  graver  nature 
than  would  appear  at  first  sight,  as  I  will  en- 
deavor to  explain.  In  1856  the  European 
Commission  of  the  Danube,  by  virtue  of 
the  Treaty  of  Paris,  was  charged  to  clear  the 
mouths  of  the  Danube  and  to  fix  and  levy  dues  on 
shipping,  in  order  to  cover  the  expenses  of  the  neces- 
sary works  of  improvement.  The  Stdina  branch  and 
mouth  having  been  selected  for  special  treirtraeut, 
the  jetties  at  the  Snlina  mouth  were  begun  in  1858, 
and  were  completed  in  a  provisional  manner  in 
1861,  when  the  depth  had  tacreased  from  9  feet  to 
1712  feet.  In  1868-71  these  jetties  were  con- 
solidated, and  since  that  time  the  depth  on  the  bar 
has  not  been  less  than  20  feet.  During  the  period 
this  great  improvement  was  being  effected  at  the 
Sulina  mouth,  important  works  of  correction 
were  carried  ont  at  more  than  a  dozen  places  in  the 
■  SuUna  branch,  by  means  of  which  its  navigable  depth 
was  increased  five  feet.  It  was  thought  permanently, 
and  throe  of  Its  worst  bends  got  rid  of  by  a  new  cut. 
which  reduced  the  length  of  the  branch  one  mile. 
The  total  length  of  the  branch  is  now  45  miles,  and 
at  that  distance  from  its  mouth  the  Sulina  leaves  the 
Toultcha  branch,  the  bifurcation  being  called  St. 
George's  '  Ohatal,'  which  is  the  Turkish  word  for 
fork.  In  April  last,  on  my  annual  visit  to  the  Lower 
Panabe.  I  found  that  the  least  depth  over  the  worst 
shoal  in  the  Stdina  branch  was  171^  feet  (equal  to  13 
feet  at  extreme  low  water.)  and  the  lea-st  depth  at 
the  mouth  21  feet.  But  for  the  long-continued  and 
anxious  labors  of  the  European  Commission  of  the 
Danube,  the  least  depth  in  the  Sulina  branch  would 
at  that  time  have  been  less  than  12ie  feet,  (equal  to 
Ti'jfwjt  at  extreme  low  water,)  and  the  depth  at 
tbe  mouth  would  probably  not  have  exceeded  9 
feet.  Owing  to  the  great  success  of  the  works, 
the  charges  on  shipping  have  been  reduced  from 
1 5  shillings  to  2  shillings  6  pence  per  ton :  the  num.-, 
her  of  shipwrecks  has  decrensed  from  39  in  10.  (X»0 
in  1855-60  to  2  in  10.000  from  1869-76  :  and  the 
exportation  or  grain  from  the  Lower  Danube  has  in- 
creased from  less  than  2,000,000  quarters  annuallv 
before  the  improvements  to  upward  of  4.500,000 
quarters  in  1876.  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  latter 
beingtransported  in  British  bottoms. 

"  The  Russian  dam  has  been  formed  across  the 
Suhna  branch  at  one  and  ,a  half  miles  below  St. 
George's  Chatal.  and  if  not  speedily  removed  it  will 
render  almost  nugatory  the  labors  of  the  commis- 
5ion,andthe  heavy  outlay  tfaathas  been  incurred  overa 
period  of  20  years :  for  the  branch  being  robbed  of  a 
large  portion  of  ita normal  flow,  will  inevitaldy  deteri- 
orateat  a  rapid  pace.  Iif  other  words,  the  slackened  cur- 
rent caused  by  the  submerged  silt  will  cau5!6  consider- 
able deposits  of  sand  and  rand  to  be  rapidly  thr»twn 
down  throughout  the  whole  length  of  the  branch  as 
long  as  the  artificial  obstruction  remains,  while  at 
the  embouchure  the  absence  of  a  strong  fluvial  cur- 
rent will  permit  the  waves  to  drive  sand  and  silt 
into  the  navigable  channel,  and  there  form  a  con- 
siderable shoal.  The  Intention  of  the  dam  is  e\-i- 
dently  to  prevent  the  ascent  of  Turkish  irondads 
above  St.  George's  Chatal.  and  to  cut  off  the ,  retreat 
to  the  sea  of  the  Turkish  river  fleet.  I  will 
not  attempt  ±o  discu-ssherehow  the  object  in  view 
could  liave  been  as  well  acctjmpUshed  without  report- 
ing to  the  ver>'  extreme  measure  of  completely  block- 
ing up  by  a  solid  dam  the  (rreat  and  sole  bigliway  of 
water  oommunleatiou  for  tradiuir  vessels  between 
the  countries  of  the  Lower  Danube  and  the  Black 
Sea,  hut  I  may  venture  to  remark  that  this  verj-  seri- 
ous act.  a-s  regards  future  consequeu^es,  is  quite  nt 
variance  with  the  spirit  and  letter  of  the  following 
paragraphs  from  the  decree  issued  by  the  Russian  <iov- 
emment  for  the  guidance  of  the  Russian  authoritie-i 
during  the  present  war.  and  whicli  ap|>eared  in  cjclenso

The  biverpool  I^ost  of  July  2(i  contain.^  the 

followinc  shocking  revelations:  " Yesterday,  at  tjie

Rummonod  for  liaving  been  in  possession  of  43 
pieces  of  beef  which  were  unfit  for  human  food.  Mr. 
Atkinson  prosecuted,  and  Mr.  R.  11.  Bartlett  defended 
the  case.  In  opening  tbe  prosix-utiou  Mr.  Atkinson 
said  that  the  case  was  cue  "f  the  \vor£t  that  bed  evor 
*;oine  before  bis  notic*?.  The  dcf.^ndant  kept  .i  co.-il- 
yard  in  I>rvdcn-street.  and  there  was  i-oason  to 
believe  that  iu' joined  the  bu.siness  of  coal  Biilosman 
to  that  of  sniTiiim*  manufjtf-tnrer— using  di.^easod 
ni^at  iu  the  process.  Tlicre  had  been  no  little 
diflicnlty  in  gt-ttine  up  tho  case,  for  when  tho 
officers '» ent  to  the  yard  in  the  daytime  they 
roiild  find  nothing  \vronc:  Imt  when  they  went  in 
the  night,  when  the  process  was  carried  on.  they 
found  that  the  defendant  kept  ferocious  dogs  in 
order  to  keep  them  [the  officers]  out.  On  one  night, 
however,  they  faced  the  doj:s,  and  found  43  pieces  of 
beef,  and  one"  carcase,  and  four  quarters  of  a  cow. 
The  carcase  was  dropsical,  and  the  pieces  and  the 
quarters  were  all  tainted.  An  officer  of  the  Health 
Committee  was  called,  and  deposed  to  having  seen 
the  beef  on  the  defendant's  pi-emisest 

"Mr.  A^uson — Did  he  keep  any  dogs  there  ?  Wit- 
ness— Yes. 

"  Mr.  Bartlett — Does  ha  make  sausages  of  them? 
[Laughter.] 

"Mr.  Atkin<or.— Oh,

that  the  dogs  were  kept  on  the  pr-'Uiises  for  the 
purpo!*o  of  being  converted  into  s:insagL-s,  like  the 
Dutchman's  'wee  dog'  was  of  old.  fLauchter.] 
One  thina  was  strongly  in  favor  of  the  atfendant — 
he  h:id  never  been  chcr^ed  with  a  similar  offense 
before.  "There  'Vas.  of  course,  no  denying  that  the 
meat  was  l-ad.  but  it  hod  been  made  so  bv  the 
weather,  whidi  was  at  present  very  unfavorable  to 
the  pn'servation  of  meat.  As  to  that  portion  which

children  of  advanced  years,  who  are  to  be  taken 
out  to  '  be  immediately  placed  in  service, 
in  Canadai  are  collected  without  regard  to  special  fit-

thev  are,  from  the  mere  fact  ot  their  being  pauper 
children,  exposed  to  great  disadvantages,  and  to 
much  obloquy;  and  that  there  is  a  total  absence  of

TBE  GREAT  RAFT  OF  SPARS. 
The  Albany  Argjis  of  Saturday  says :  "  The 
ocean  raft  of  spars  which  Messrs.  George  E.  Young  & 
Son.  of  Boston,  have  at/nnged  to  have  taken  to  that 
city  is  one  of  the  biggest  things  of  the  kind  ever  at- 
tempted. The  spars  are  between  500  aud  GOO  iu 
number,  and  were  purchased  in  Hamiltou,  Ontario, 
aud  in  order  to  save  the  large  expense  incident  to 
shipping  them  by  rail  to  Boston,  it  was  determined 
to  try  to  float  them  in  a  raft  by  way  of  New-York 
and  Long  Island  Sound.  A  contract  was  made  with 
Christopher  Schwinger,  of  Tonawanda,  N.  Y.,  by 
which  he  engaged  Himself  to  superintend  the  trans- 
fer. The  spars  were  bound  together  iu  a  raft,  which 
left  Hamilton,  Ontario,  ou  the  iWth  of  June,Jn  tow 
of  the  M.  A-  Mimson.  for  Oswego.  \Vhen  it 
reached  there  on  the  following  Saturday  it  was 
found  necessary  to  break  It  up  in  divisions, 
so  that  it  wotild  pass  through  the  Oswego 
and  Erie  Canals  to  Troy.  The  sections  were  of  the 
width  of  an  ordinary  canal-boat  and  of  the  length  of 
the  spars.  In  this  way  part  has  already  passed 
through  the  canal,  and  the  rest  is  on  its  way.  When 
all  the  spars  have  arrived  in  Troy  they  will  be  made 
into  a  raft  150  feet  wide  and  300  or  400  feet  long, 
which  will  be  taken  to  New- York  by  tugs,  under  the 
direct  supervision  of  Mr.  Sichwlnger.  Arrived  there 
the  raft  will  be  taken  apart  once  more  and  will  be 
rebuilt  witli  the  greatest  care,  iron  chains  replacing 
the  withes,  which  are  considered  strong  euough  to 
bind  it  for  iU  passage  down  the  river.  It  will 
then  be  taken  through  the  East  River  into  the 
Sound,  and  round  to  Boston.  It  will  not  start  tintil 
a  spell  of  clear  weather  comes.  The  ..open  sea  off 
Cape  Cod  is  not  feared  so  much  as  the  heavy  swell  at 
Pomt  Judith.  The  raft  will  probably  reach  New- 
York  in  two  or  three  weeks.  It  is  expected  that 
$9,000  will  be  saved  by  tHia  n^ode  of  shipment; 
that  is,  (rf  course,  if  the  raft  should  arrive  safely  at 
Boston.  Rafts  of  timber  hu^r  than  this  are  sent 
down  the  rivers  of  Maine  every  Spring,  aud  occa- 
sionally are  taken  from  Portland  to  Boston  via  the 
sea.  Several  lots  of  timber  have  been  sent  to  Boston 
from  New-York  through  the  Sound,  but  old  boatmen 
say  that  this  is  the  biggest  venture  yet."

BRITISH  TROOPS  FOR  THE  EAST 

THE  PROCESS  OF  FOEMINQ  AND  DISPATCHINO 
ABHY  CORPS  ON  FOREIGN  SERVICE— EXACT 
CONDITION  OF  ZNGI^AND'S  ARMY. 
Frmn  em  Eimlinh  Miliiarif  OorrttpandeBt. 
London,  Thursday,  July  26,  1877. 
It  may  seem  to  the  general  public  a  very- 
simple  matter  to  dLspatch  an  army  corjis  to  the 
seat  of  war  in  the  East.  The  popular  idea  prob- 
ably is  that  Jlr.  Hardy  would  say :  **  Send  an 
army  corps  to  Turkey,"  and  that,  like  the  cen- 
turion mentioned  in  the  New  Testament,  instant 
obedience  would  ensue.  The  real  state  of  tlie^ 
case  ifi,  however,  ver^' different.  Before  placing 
such  a  force  in  the  field  it  would  be  necessary  to 
bring  up  21  battalion.-?  of  infantry,  sis  regiments 
of  cavalry,  four  horse  and  11  field  batteries,  be- 
sides engineers,  transport,  &c.,  to  a  war  strength. 
Let  us  see  what  is  our  actual  position,  and 
first  as  to  the  infantry.  Mr.  Hardy  stated  the 
ther  day  that  he  had  been  enabled  to  bring  up 
fSbattalions  to  a  strength  of  902  of  all  ranks, 
anoHhat  altogetlier  he  could  at  once  dispose  of 
21  bMtalions  in  a  high  state  of  eflBclency.  We 
presume'^iat  three  of  these  battalions  would  be 
taken  fromsthe  Guards.  As  these  throe  battal- 
ions would  bb^formed  from  seven  battalions,  it 
is  certain  that  they  could  at  once  be  raisetl  to 
their  war  strength  of  1.097  of  all  ranks,  and 
consist  of  men  in  every  way  fit  for  the  field.  It 
is  different,  howevor.^ith  the  other  l.*i  battal- 
ions. It  was  frankly,  aomitted  by  the  military 
correspondent  of  the  Tiiffi^that  the  recruits  in- 
spected by*  the  Duke  of  Gambridge  at  Aldershot. 
the  other  day,  were  too  Voiuhful  and  lathy. 
We  know  that  such  is  Hhe\ca.se,  and  we 
venture  to  assert  that  of  \the\  men  who 
recently  joined,  not  more  thaff',  one-third 
have  been  old  and  strong  ^^  eni^ugh  to 
tindergo  the  hardships  of  a  campaign  till  they 
have  served  ou  au  average  two  years.  \We  may 
fairly  assume  that  in  each  battalion  at  least  150 
are  thus  disqualified  for  acrive  sei-vice\  To 
these  may  be  added,  say  370  sick,  worn  ouv4^ 
prison,  and  absent  without  leave  and  undriUedv, 
Thus  the  903  are  reduced  to  6S2  efficient  men,  ^ 
leaving  415  to  be  added  to  make  up  the  1,097 
for  IS  battalions — 7.470  men.  To  meet  this 
demand  we  have  the  first-class  Army  reserve, 
which  could  supply  about  5.000  efiicient  in- 
fantry soldiers.  The  balance  of  2-K)  would 
have  to  be  obtained  either  by  calling  for  volun- 
teers from  regiments  left  at  home,  or  by  draw- 
ing ou  the  militia  reserve.  Volunteers  iu  suffi- 
cient numbers  would  certainly  come  for- 
ward, but  we  must  remember  that  by 
so  doing  we  should  reduce  the  home  bat- 
talions to  such  a  state  of  attenuation — 
for  we  should  take  from  them  their  best 
men— -that  it  would  be  dltur-ult  satisfactorily  to 
provide  a  second  corps  iTurmtt;.  Besides,  every 
home  battaliou  acts  as  a  feeder  to  a  battalion  m 
India  or  the  Colonies,  and  iiow  is  its  function  to 
be  performed  if  the  .supply  meant  for  the  annual 
d  rafts  is  diverted  from  its  proper  desunaiiou  i 
Were  we  to  adopt  .such  a  borrowing  from  Peter 
to  pay  Paul  method,  either  the  battalions  in 
India  and  the  Culonies  would  rapidly  melt  away, 
or  the  battalions  at  home  would  cease  to  be  any- 
thing more  than  algebraical  .'symbols.  The 
^lilitia  reserve  would  give.  ;;a,y  2.500  half- 
trained  soldiers,  but  it  ^'ould  take  sftme  weeks 
to  call  out.  distribute,  cl-iihe,  and  ciniplete  the 
drill  of  these  men.  We  nixy,  tliert't'ore.  assume 
that  it  would  be  iuipossible  to  look  to  this  source 
for  the  expansion  of  the  first  corps  tVartiUe  sent 
abroad,  Conse«juently  It  would  be  absolutely 
necessary  to  obtain  from  the  51  battalions  left 
at  home  about  50  uiuu  out  of  tlwso    520  rank 

and  file.  The  obtaining  and  distribiilin«r  thi-se 
vohmteers  could  ^lot  >>e  ac<'omp!i.>-lieJ  luidf^r  :i 
fortnisht.  at  tin-  least,  and  the  IJrst  «_-I:tss  Annv 
reserve  could  not  be  calU^d  up  and  po.sied  to  regi- 
ments iti  a  shorter  period. 

We  now  come  to  the  cavalry.  Excluding  the 
Hou.^^eliold  Cavalry,  there  are  10  regiments  ui 
houK*.  of  whieli  9  have  a  total  .strength  of  02>'. 
and  10  of  530  nif-n.  thn  former  lLaviHg.379  and 
iiiul  tbo  latter  317  burses.  Th<j  c-st.-ibUsliTuent 
for  :i  rt'triuient  of  cavalry  in  the  field  is  *3.'33  .  of 
all  ranks  and  4^0  trvJOj)  hordes.  If  si::^  of  tin; 
regiuu'Uts  ou  tho  highest  pence  establishment 
were  taken,  they  would  require  to  complete 
them  to  their  war  strength  about  300  mt;n  and 
7CR)  liorses.  The  difference  between  p«aco  and 
war  strength  in  men  Is  "27)  per  regiment,  and 
it  is  not  unrcasonaJjle  to  allow  for 
sick,  physically  unfit,  absent,  and  men 
not  fully  tmined.  anoTht-r  25  j.er  regi- 
ment. The  differt.'uce  betwee»-^the  peace 
and  war  est.'vblishnu^ut  in  horses  is  101.  and 
there  must  be.udrk-.l  ?-ay  1(»  horses  per  regiment 
too  youiiir.  untiitinod.  unfit  for  ser\'ice.  &c. 
There  are  few  cavalrymen  in  the  first  cla.ss 
army  reserve  who  woidd  be  fit  to  rejoin  that 
brant* h.  It  would  therefore  l)e  necessary  to  ob- ' 
tain  from  each  of  the  13  regiments  left  at  home 
some  'JS  men  and  ."»5  horses.  The  practice  of 
IJUing  up  service  regiments  at  the  expense  of 
those  which  are  left  at  home  is  objectionable ; 
still,  both  the  men  and  the  horses  could  without 
great  practical  iucouvenience  be  obtained  in 
ihia  way  for  tbe  completion  of  the  'cavalry  of 
an  armv  corps  suddenh-  ordered  on  service. 

The  peace  establishment  of  a  horse  artillery 
battery  is  163  officers  and  men.  and  10-S  horse.s, 
the  war  establishment  179  officers  aud  men. 
and  104  troop  horses.  Thus,  to  complete  the 
strength  of  tne  four  batteries,  there  would  be 
HKiuired,  including  men  sick,  imperfectly 
trained,  physically  unfit,  absent.  <tc..  and  horses 
too  young,  worn  out,  or  unsound,  about  320 
nieri.  and  2-10  horses.  As  there  are  three  horse 
brigades,  each  with  10  service  aud  one  depot 
battery,  there  would  be  no  difficulty  about  this. 
Xor  would  it  be  difficult  to  complete  the  11 
field  batteries.  The  peace  establishment  of  a 
field  batter\-  is  15t'  of  all  ranks,  aud  >S4  horses; 
the  war  cstabiishmeiil,  for  a  lO-pounder  bat- 
tery, is  198  of  ail  ranks,  and  \7y2  horses :  for  a 
9-pounder  battery,  172  of  all  ranks,  aud 
126  horses.  The  11  ih'ld  batteries  of  an 
army  corpsr  consist  of  three  9-pouDder.  aud 
eight  16-po'ander  batteries.  Making  therefore. 
as  above,  allowance  for  men  and  horses  sick, 
untrained.  Arc.  the  addition  requiix'd  would  l»e 
420  men  and  720  horses.  Ou  the  home  estal>- 
lishment  there  are  sis  field  brigades  of  .seven 
servire  and  one  depot  batteries  each.  The  addi- 
tional horses  and  men  could  therefore  be  given. 
but  the  batteries  left  at  home  would  feel  the 
draw  very  sensibly,  for  it  would  be  uuturally 
the  best  men  and  horses  who  would  be  drafted. 

The  proportion  of  engineers  for  an  army  corps 
amounts  to  1,20*J  officers  and  men  and  5»2 
horses.  There  are  at  home  3.992  officers  and 
meu,  but  only  422  horses.  The  men.  therefore, 
could  W  easily  forwarded,  but  100  liorses 
would  have  to  bo  purchased  or  t.nuporarily  bor- 
rowed from  the  nrlillen.-,  which  can  ill  spare 
them. 

Besides  the  bmnches  of  tho  service  above 
dealt,  with,  there  are  also  the  Military  Police, 
and  the  Commissariat.  Medical.  Veterinurj',  and 
Chaj>tuius'  Depannieuts.  We  need  not  <'oncera 
ourselves  about  the  two  latter.  The  Military 
Police  of  an  army  corps  consists  of  3<X)  officers 
atid  men  aud  2tJ0  horses.  At  present  we  have 
about  one  skeleton  troop.  The  commissariat  is 
541  of  all  ranks  and  378  hor.-jes.  These  could 
be  supplied.  The  Medical  Department  re- 
quires, besides  otJS  drivers  and  1,310  horses. 
297  office!. s,  including  a  few  Lieuleuants 
and  Captains  of  orderlies,  and  2,195  imm.  L'u- 
fortunately  the  Army  Hospital  Corps,  of  which 
a  large  portion  is  iu  the  Colonies,  only  numbers 
1.595  of  all  ranks,  and.  exclusive  of  those  in 
India,  there  are  but  531  medical  officers.  The 
weakest  point  of  all.  nowever.  is  the  transport 
We  have  a  sufficient-  skeleton  of  officers  aud 
men,  but  no  reserve  of  horjiies,  aud  we  know 
that  Turkey  is  altogether  devoid  of  resources  of 
that  sort,  "The  total  number  of  horses  of  all 
sorts  required  by  au  army  corps  is  ll,iS03.  and 
the  total  uumber  uow  iu  'possession  is  only 
15.148. 

The  conciosion  we  arrive  at  is,  that  we  could, 
in  the' course  of  a  fortnight  from  the  is.sue  of 
the  order,  have  an  army  corps  com.plete  in  all 
but  Anuy  Hospital  Corps,  Military  Police,  and 
transport  horses,  ready  to  embark.  This  result, 
however,  could  only  be  accomplished  by  draw- 
ing on  regiments  left  at  home,  and  calling  out 
the  first-class  army  reserve.  With  powerful 
steamers  the  force  could  be  conveyed  to  Con- 
stantinople in  another  14  days.  This 
is  the  limit,  as  regards  time,  of  what  we 
could  do.  A  fortnight  or  three  weeks  lat«r 
we  coultl,  however,  laud  at  Constantinople  a 
second  army  corps  30,805  strong,  but  both 
corps  would  be  for  some  time  unable  to  move 
for  want  of  transport.  This  is  the  limit  as  re- 
gards numbers.  It  should  not,  however,  be 
forgotten  that  we  could  obtain  any  number  of 
fighting  men  from  India,  and  that,  within  a 
mouth  after  the  receipt  of  an  order,  it  would  be 
Df»3sible  to  dispatch  40.000  troops— of  whieh

3I0XDAV,  Aug.  6 — A.  M. 

The  stntonient  of  the  Associated  Banks, 
Issued  from  the  C'loarins  House  on  Saturday 
,]ast,  shows  a  docrea.-:e  of  $3,OG3,100  in  legal 
ttiuders,  ami  #1.S'J8,300  in  deposits,  and  a 
gr.iin  of  $50.^,200  in  loans,  $101,700  in  specie, 
and  $t>7,400  in  circolation.  Tho  movement 
fur  the  wtek  results  in  a  loss  of  $2,430,825  in 
surplus  reserve,  which  reduces  the  amount  held 
by  the  baiik-s  in  excess  of  legal  requirements  to 
$13,e0ti^DO, 

Tho  following  sho-s-s  the  condition  of  the 
hanks  on  Saturday  last,  as  compared  'trith  the 
previous  statement,  and  with  the  statement  for

The  Money  market  during  the  week  afforded 
unmistakable  evidence  of  a  hardening  ten- 
dency, and  the  impaession  very  generally  pre- 
vailed that  high  rates  of  interest  will  obtain  in 
the  near  future,  especially  if  the  revival  in  busi- 
ness, so  eagerly  looked  forward  to,  should  take 
place.  Tho  Disooimt  market  eshibited  decided 
drmness,  the  rates  for  prime  mercantile  paper 
being  4L,2i'tJ  V  cent,  llie  great  bulk  of  the 
business  in  call  loans  was  done  at  1 1^2^'^  ^  cent., 
though  occasionally  higher  rates  prevailed. 

The  foreign  advices  reported  unsettled  mar- 
kets at  London  and  at  the  Continental  centres 
.  ?arly  in  tho  week,  owing  to  the  apprehensions 
existing  that  a  general  European  war  w^a  immi- 

, nent,  but  toward  the  close  there  was  an  improved 

feeling,  and  at  London  Consols  and  United 
States  bonds  were  firm.  The  Bank  of-England 
reported  a  decrease  of  £288,000  bulUoii  for  the 
•week  ending  "Wednesday.  The  bank  rate  of  dis- 
count continues  aX'Z  9  cent.,  but  in  the  open 
market  money  is  considferatlj*  ea.sier,  and  three- 
months  bills  are  discounted  at  13^  |^  cent. 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  w^s  weak, 
and  rates  declined.  At  the  close  the  asking 
quotations  were  $4  SjI^  !>nd  $4  87,  irith 
actual  business  at  concessions.  The  supply  of 
commercial  bills  was  larger  than  of  late,  while 
there  was  little  disposition  to  purchase. 

The  Gold  speculation  was  tame.  The  price 
declined  from  lOo^g  to  lOSl*,  and  subsequent- 
ly recovered  to  lOui-j,  which  was  the  closing 
quotation.  Cash  Gold  was  in  less  active  de- 
mand than  hist  week,  and  loaned  from  3  ^ 
cent,  for  use  to  flat.  The  Treasurj'  on  Thurs- 
day sold  $1,000,000  gold  at  103.;iS'a>105.32. 

Government  bonds  werequiet  and  in  the  main 
firm.  The  variations  in  prices  were  unusually 
■li^ht,  and  the  market  presented  no  special 
lnaXan.    la  nilcead  pinrtaogM  tb»  [dnaiinmi 


weie  fairly  aetiya.  Th%  general  muteteiiMbitad 
flmmess  at  a  higher  range  of  prices.  St.  Iibuis 
and  Iron  Mountain  Firsts,  however,  declined  5 
^  cent,  sales  having  been  induced  by  the  com- 
pany's default  on  the  interest  due  Aug.  1.  State 
bonds  were  .quiet,  the  principal  biisihess  having 
been  in  Louisiana  Consols,  District  Columbia 
3-C5s,  and  'Tennessees.  i 

On  the  Stock  fexehange  the  speculative  inter- 
est centred  chiefly  in  Western  Union,  the  deal- 
ings in  which  were  attended  with  consider?ible 
excitement.  The  shares,  under  active  purchajses, 
rose  from  GTSg  to  73,  with  a  partial  rcactiop  in 
the  late  dealings.  It  is  very  generally  believed 
that  Jay  Gould,  who  had  been  for  a  long  period 
a  Renounced  bear  on  the  stock,  has,  withj  his 
accustomed  wilyness,  succeeded  in  stealinig  a 
march  upon  his  late  associates  and  executiilg  a 
complete  change  of  front,  and  is  now,  with  his 
following,  committed  to  tho  buU  side]  of 
the  account,  while  against  him  are  ,  ar- 
rayed the  California  speculator  and  sime 
prominent  members  of  the  Twenty-third- 
street  party.  Unless  indications  ;  are  en- 
tirely deceptive,  a  fierce  straggle  la  im- 
pending between  the  rival  cliques,  in  wliich  [for- 
tunes will  be  lost  .-rnd  won.  The  general  mar- 
ket was  a  shade  lower,  but  on  tho  whole  fsjirly 
firm,  with  the  c:sccption  of  Hannibal  and  I  St. 
Joseph,  in  which  a  decline  ranging  from  3l2  to 
5  f  cent,  wa-s  recorded,  followed  by  some  re- 
cover}-. Promiuent  among  the  events  of  the 
week  was  the  passiing  of  the  idividend  by  the 
Peunsylvauia  Railroad  Company,  which,  low- 
ever,  exercised  no  appreciable  influence  tiipon 
the  course  of  prices.  :  |

THE  TIMES  OUT  OP  HARMONY  WITH  COBDEN  S 
DOCTRINES— HIS  DISCIPLES  DESPONDENT 
AXD  DISCOrR.\GED. 

The  London  Daily  Xetcs,  referring  to  tho  an- 
nual dinner  of  the  Cobden  Clnb  on  Saturday,  July 
lil.  obserr^s  that  no  easier  and  more  obrious  subject 
could  be  found  for  the  satirist  in  quest  of  a  topic 
than  the  idea  of  the  philosophers  of  peace  sitting. 
down  to  celebrate  the  triumphs  of  the  apostle  of  free 
trade  and  International  harmony  at  a  time  when  a 
great  war  is  raging  in  the  south-east  of  Europe,  when 
we  are  looking  out  with  daily  increasing  anadety  to 
see  if  any  other  belligerents  are  likely  to  extend  its 
operations,  and  when  no  inconsiderable  number  of 
veiy  inconsiderate  persons  among  ourselves  are 
clumorlng  that  we,  too,  ouffUt  to  bear  a  hand  in  the 
free  fight.  The  work  of  the  Cobden  Club,  how- 
ever, has  notliing  to  do  directly  with  the 
prnelaro.ntinn  of  the  doctrines  of  peace  and  non- 
intervention. The  principles  of  the  Cobden  Club  are 
that  free  trade  is"  the  tiltimate  condition  of  a  sound 
^■stem  t^f  national  and  international  commerce,  and 
that  free  trade  conduces  to  international  peace.  But 
even  If  the  Cobden  Club  were  much  more  directly 
tlian  it  is  a  peace  society,  we  shall  not  thinit  that  i't 
bad  lost  by  the  presence  of  war  any  part  of  Its  right 
t-o  preach  its  own  principles  and  to  celebrate  what- 
ever progress  in  their  acceptance  even  the  very 
operations  of  war  itself  might  possibly  bV^aade  to 
show.  The  ^Standard  observes  that  through  nil  the 
speeches  delivei-ed  at  the  banquet  tJiere  ran 
a  vein  ■  of  discouragement,  almost  of  des- 
pondency, wliich  showed  the  consciousness  of 
the  S)>e'akers  that  the  times  are  out  of  har- 
mony ivith  the  principles  they  had  met  to  honor. 
Attd,' indeed,  wherever  we  look  on  the  Continent  of 
Europe,  or  even  in  the  model  Republic  across  the 
Atlantic,  we  see  only  falsification  of  JOr.  Cobden's- 

Sropliecies,  and  rejection  of  his  doctrines.  But  the 
isappofntment  is  not  confined  to  other  countries. 
The  triumph  of  free  trade  even  in  England  is  far  less 
asstired  than  is  commonlv  supposed.  The  Standard 
does  not  for  u  a  moment  "believe  that  the  danger  of  a 
reversal  of  our  free-trode  poBcy  is  as  yet  appre- 
ciable, but  circumstances  might  make  it  very  real.  A 
lengthened  period  of  depression  in  business,  an 
obstinate  adherence  to  prohibitivejtariffs  abroad,  an 
increase  of  tlie  national  burdens,  and  a  threatening 
of  ont^'ood  supplies,  might  raise  a  very  formidable 
agitanon  against  the  poLey  that  now  seems  secure 
against  attaeit.  ^^^^^^ 

SAVED  FROM  STARVATIOX  BY  A  CAT 
The  Suffolk  (Va,)  Herald  relates  the  following 
incident :  "  Some  time  ago  tho  wife  of  Mr.  Alfred 
Davis  (who  was  drowned  with  his  two  sons  last  Fri- 
day evening  in  Nansemond  Ri\-er)  was  confined  to 
her  room  with  protracted  sickness,  and  such  was  the 
poverty  of  the  poor  manthathe  was  unable  to  procure 
the  necessary  uonris'iunent  for  her ;  indeeti,  as  Mr. 
Da^'is  relatetl  tho  case,  the  wants  of  the  family -mu-st 
have  been  of  the  severest  and  most  trying  nature,  the 
family  subsisting  for  several  weelcs  on  potatoes  and  salt 
alone.  During  the  sad  indisposition  of  Mrs.  Davis 
and  her  pressing  ^ant  for  delicate  food,  a  common 
house  cat  went  into  the  field  aud  caught  a  young 
haro  and  brought  it  to  the  house.  Mr.  Da\-is  took. 
the  hare  and  made  it  into  soup  for  his  suffering  wife, 
which  catu^d  a  rapid  improvement  in  her  condition. 
The  day  following  tho  same  cat  again  set  out  on  its 
mission  of  charity,  and  succeeded  in  catching  a  part- 
ridge, which  was  likewise  brought  to  the  house  aud 
delivered  as  wa^  the  hai-e  ;  and  thus  it  was,  through 
the  instrumentality  of  this  cat.  the  life  of  this  unfor- 
tunate lady  was  saved  from  absolute  star^'ation. 
The  facts  of  the  above  can  be  substantiated  as  cor- 
rect, and  are  given  as  related  by  Mr.  Davis  in  per- 
son." _

IMPOSING  CEREMONIES  AT  BRADFORD,  ENG- 
LAND—THE UKVEELING  SPEECH  DELIV- 
ERED BT  EIGHT  HON.  JOHN"  BRIGHT — THE 
STATUE  PBESENTED-TO  THE  TOW2t  BY  AN 
AMERICAN. 

,  The  London  morning  papers  of  July  26, 
devote  much  space  to  fJie  reports  of  the  tmreilixu;  of 
the  Cobden  statue  at  Bradford,  some  of  them  print- 
ing the  addresses  in  folL  The  following  condensed 
account  of  the  ceremonies  Is  from  the  PaU  MaU 
Gazette  ot  tie  25th:  "  This  morning  Bight  Hon, 
John  Bright  unveiled  the  niarble  statue  which  hfca 
he«n  erected  to  the  late  Richard  Cobden  in  the  hall  of 
the  Bradford  Exchange.  The  ceremony  was  wit- 
nessed by  an  immense  crowd,  who  throng4>d  the  ap- 
proaches to  the  building  long  before  12:30,  the  time 
fixed  for  the  commencement  of  the  proceedings. 
The  interior  of  the  hall  wore  a  verj*  brilliant  api>ear- 
an  ce,  the  flags  of  various  nationalities  being  finely 
displayed.  At  the  time  appointed  the  Chairman,  ac- 
companied by  the  committee  of  the  Exchange  and  by' 
the  leading  Liberals  of  the  borough,  to  tho  number  of 
upward  of  100,  appeared  on  tlie  platform,  and  took 
his  seat  amid  loud  applause.  The  rear  of  the  proces- 
sion was  brought  up  by  Mr.  Bright,  who  was  received 
with  deafening  cheers.  A  large  ntunber  of  ladies  oc- 
cupied the  gallery  immediately  opposite  the  platform. 
The  proceeduigs  weire  oi>ened  by  Mr.  A.  Illbigworlh, 
ex-M.  P.,  for  Bradford,  whoso  guest  Mr.  Bright 
Is  during  his  visit.  The  Clialrman  made 
a  few  remarks  upon  the  labors  of  Cobden 
and  Bright  In  the  cause  of  free  trade,  and 
referred  to  the  advantages  which  had  followed  the 
repeal  of  the  t!om  Laws.  He  then  calkxl  upon  the 
Secretary,  Mr.  Wade,  to  give  a  brief  statement  of 
the  circumstances  under  which  the  statue  was  pre- 
sented to  the  committee  aud  subscribers  of  the  Ex- 
change. Other  gentlemen  were  then  cali6«i  tfpon  lo 
address  the  Idrge  assemblage,  including  among  others 
Mr.  Jacob  Behrens,  who  in  the  name  of  the  mer- 
chants of  Bradford  warmly  welcomed  Mr.  Bright. 
An  address  to  the  right  honorable  gentleman  from 
the  committee  of  the  iixchango  was  tlien  r<iad  and 
presented  to  him.  Mr.  Briirbt  on  ritdng  to  speak  was 
received  with  protracted  cheering.  In  the  course  of 
his  remarks^he  assured  the  meeting  tliftt  it  afforded 
him  the  utmost  jdeasure  to  see  so  faithful  a  like- 
ness of  a  statesman  with  whom  be  had  been 
closely  a.Hsociated  for  25  ye.irs.  He  felt  that  he  was 
not  in  a  position  to  speaK  to  them-as  he  could  have 
desired,  but  lioped  they  would  feel  that  he  could 
never  foi^et  the  part  he  bad  taken  iiA;the  proceedings 
that  day.  He  proceeded  to  give  aVrief  sketch  of 
Mr.  Cobden's  career,  and  jiointed  out  the  great  obsta- 
cles which  be  had  overcome  during  Ids  life  as  a  mer- 
chant. He  also  touched  upon  hi.s  abilities  as  a  politi- 
cian at  a  comparatively  earlj'  perlml  of  his  career. 
and  referred  specially-  to  his  efforts  in  the  cause  of 
education  at  tlwt  period.  The  speech  was  listened  to 
throughout  with  the  deepest  attoution,  and  at  inter- 
vals loudly  applauded,  more  especially  when  refer- 
ence was  made  to  the  agitation  for  the  repeal  of  the 
Com  Laws." 

The  Times  of  the  same  date  i»rints  tho  following 
description  of  the  statue  :  "  Tlie  statue  of  Mr.  Cob- 
den is  the  ^tt  of  the  late  Mr.  (>.  1£.  Booth,  an 
American,  who  wjus  the  senior  partner  in  the  Bnul- 
ford  firm  of  Booth,  Firth  A-  Co.  He  placed  £1,000 
In  the  bands  of  a  enmiaittee  for  tho  purpose  of  real- 
izing his  desire.  The  result  was  tliat  the  committee 
ultimately  entered  into  a  contract  with  Mr.  But.er, 
Au  artist  strongly  recommended  by  the  well-known 
sculptor.  Mr.  Foley.  Tltt  statue  has  been  cut  from 
a  very  fine  block  of  Carrara  marble,  remarkably 
free  frf>m  color,  and  which  "weighed  nearly 
1 2  ton.s  in  the  rough  state.  It  is  now  re- 
dncetl  to  about  three  tons.^  Tb.e  figure,  with  the 
plinth  below,  is  7  feet  D  inches  in  height,  and  of  pro- 
portionate broadtb.  The  sculptor  represents  Mr. 
Cobden  ns  he  himself  saw  him  40  years  ago.  He  has 
taken  his  idea  of  the  face  from  the  welljEnown  bust 
by  Mr.  Woolner,  R.  A.,  now  in  Westminster  Abbey, 
a  copy  of  which  was  secured  for  the  National  Portrait 
Gallery.  Mr.  Butler  has  a!so  been  aided  by  photo- 
graphs. Tlie  figure  stands  on  a  polislied  granite 
pedestal,  on  the  front  of  which  is  the  name  *  CoWen.* 
which  is  encircled  by  the.  motto,  '  Free  Trade,  Peace. 
and  Good-will  among  Nations.'  An  inscription  on 
tlie  back  bears  the  name  of  Mr.  Booth,  and  states 
that  he  was  led  to  erect  the  statue  because  of  admira- 
tiou  for  the  character  and  labors  of  llr.  Cobden." 


SITFATIOirS  WANTEB. 


THE  ^'ROCEETTORPEDO." 
The  Pall  Hall  Gazette  says:  *'The  latest 
form  of  torpedo  is  a  so-called  "  rocket-torpedo,"  de- 
signed by  Mr.  Macdonald,  the  patentee  of  the  im- 
proved Halc-]Stacdonald  war  rocket.  Prom  the  de- 
scription of  this  new  locomotive  torpedo  it  appears 
ihat  it  is  cigar-shaped,  its  si»  depending  upon  the 
distance  it  is  reqtiired  to  travel  and  the  amount  of 
explosive  charge  it  is  to  ca.ry.  Its  minimum  speed 
is  said  to  be  three  times  that  of  the  well-known 
WHiitebead  torpedo,  which  latter,  it  may  be  remem- 
bered, can  be  made  to  travel  at  a  rate  of  25  or  26 
knots  an  hour.' and  its  range  exceeds  two  miles.  The 
rocket-torpedo  .  is  fired  from  a  skeleton 
tube  or  trough  by  means  of  an  electric 
fuse,  and  it  can  be  disch  arged  witli 
equal  facility  from  an  ordinary  ship's  launch,  or  from 
thp  side  of  a  first-class  iron-clad  frigate  ;  the  spc-ial 
fittings  required  for  it  being  of  the  simplest  nature. 
CNnnpared  with  the  Whitehead,  several  advantages  are 
elaimed  for  the  rocket-tarpedo.  It  will  bear  any 
amount  of  rough  usage,  while  it  lias  not  the  element 
of  danger  which  is  present  in  the  "Whitehead  in  the 
form  of  compressed  air  at  an  enormous  pressure.  It 
ha--*  no  delicate  iutem.al  machinery  or  projections 
lialde  to  injury  ;  its  motive  power  beinc  gas,  gener- 
ated by  the  slow  conobiistion  of  a  composition  evol- 
\ing  a  rapidly  exMnding  ga-s.  Its  cost  is  about  one- 
tenth  that  of* the  Whitehead,  Its  accuracy  is  all  that 
can  i)e  desired,  no  deflection  whatever  being  observ- 
able in  smooth  w;ater.  while,  unlike  the  Whitehead, 
its  velocity  does  not  decrease  as  the  range  increases." 

AID  FOR  SICK  AXD  WOUXDED  TURKS. 
The  Pall  MaU  Gazette  ot  July  23  saya  :  "A 

committee  of  ladies  has  been  formed  at  Constanti- 
nople for  preparing  bandars,  sheets,  and-  other  ne- 
cessaries urgently  required  for  the  Turkish  sick  and 
wotmded.  They  are  independent  of  any  society,  and 
are  ready  to  give  the  benefit  of  their  work  to  any  per- 
sons who  may  be  at  the  seat  of  war,  and  can  make 
proper  use  of  the  articles  they  are  prepared  to  send. 

In  this  way  a  grea.t  deal  of  good  can  be  done  witb 
comparatively  small  means,  as  the  ladies  forming  the 
committee  give  their  own  work  and  that  of  their 
friends  to  niako  what  is  necessarj-.  Tliev  have 
already  sent  sheets  aud  pillow  cases  for  300  beds  to 
Batouin,  lint  bandages,  &c.,  to  Erzeroum,  and  are 
about  to  send  off  mattresses  and  other  net^ssaties  to 
Varna.  All  the.se.  articles  have  been  made  up  by 
themselves,  and  have  been  forwarded  to  En^lisli  sur- 
geons employed  in  the  Turkish  hospitals.  Tbe  l*resi- 
dent  of  the  committee  is  Mrs.  L.iyard.  and  amone  its 
members  are  the  Princess  Reuss*  (the  German  Am- 
bassadress;) and  Mme.  D'Ehrenhoff,  the  wife  of  tbe 
Swedish  ilinister.  Contributions  may  be  sent  to 
M.  Henry  Allii  Hau.<>on.  Great  Winchester-street, 
E.  C.  for  the  Ladies'  Committee  in  aid  of  -the  Sick 
and  Wounded."  

SECRET  SOCIETY  OF  SERVAXT  GIRLS. 
The  Dubuque  (Iowa)  Times  of  nhe  2d  inst, 
says;  "  A  lady  of  this  city  has  for  some  weeks  past 
been  endeavoring  to  re-engage  a  servant  girl  wlio 
worked  for  her  a  couple  of  years  ago,  and  ga\-e  excel- 
lent satisfaction.  But  the  girl  resolutely  refused  to 
come,  though  she  acknowledged  that  she  liked  her 
former  mistress  as  much  as  the  latter  liked  her.  She 
was  promised  emplo\-ment  as-  long  as  she  desired, 
even  for  years,  but  she  still  remain^  immovable  in 
her  refused-  Then  tbe  ladv  urged  her  to  give  her 
reasons  for  refusing  so  WKceflent  an  ofier.  of  a  per- 
manent place  with  one  whom  she  acknowledged  she 
liked  so  well.  Then  the  girl  acknowledged  tliat  slie 
was  a  memher  of  a  *  ring,'  or  secret  societj'.  of  ser- 
vant girls,  all  and  each  of  whom  were  pledged  to 
bring  from  their  employers  a  given  amount  of  pro- 
visions— meat,  or  flour,  or  butter,  or  soap,  or  some- 
thing— each  week  ;  and  in  return  for  this,  when  out 
of  emplojTuent.  the  person  to  whom  these  articles 
were  given  supportea  them  until  they  found,  or  she 
could  find  for  them,  another  place.  And  the  girl  re- 
fused to  re-enter  the  employment  of  her  former  niis- 
tTe.«iS,  *  because.' said  tho'girX  *  you  were  alway.s  kind

THE  SUNDAYEXaSE  UW. 

EOW  TBE  CLOSING    WAS  ENFORCED. 
THE  ATTEMPT  TO  STOP 'THE  SALE  OF  LIQUOR 
TLSTEBDAT   A    COMPABATIVE  FAILtTRB — 
OUTWARD  OBSERVANCE    OP    THE    I^W  IN 
SO^  QUARTERS — ^ENTIRE  DISREGARD  OP 
IT  IN  OTHERS — THH  BEER    GARDENS    ON 
THE  EAST  RIVEB  CLOSED  UP. 
fho  attempt  of  the  Police  to  enforce  the  Ex- 
ifsa  law  yesterday  was  exactly  what  every  well-in- 
formed person  knew  it  would  prore  to  be — a  compara- 
tive failure.      Alone  the    whole  lexurth    of   Tiiird- 
wenne,  from  the  City  HtU  to  Harlem,  at  least  three 
jut     of      erery     four     liquor     stores      did     the 
isual       Sunday       business — through       the       side 
ioor.       of      course.        The      outward      observance 
3f  the  law  was  strict  enough— <very  saloon  hR\'ing  its 
front  and  many  of  them  their  side  doors  closed  and 
fastened,  hut  there  was  always  some  sort  of  passage- 
w.iy  to  the  bar  within.      In  the  vicinity  of  one  of  the 
Police  Courts,  two  large  wine  shops — one  on  each  cor- 
ner,   and    both   witliin    100.!  yards    of  the    Court- 
house— plied    their    trade    unmolested.        At     one 
>f     them      the     bartender      said     that    he    had 
;oId     liquor     to    15    diflferent   policemen    while 
iuajticg  the     examination    of      their     prisoners. 
Most     of    the    fashionable    hotels    and  restaurants 
?ither      sold      over     the     bar     or    in    wine-rooms 
Kljnining.     Among  the     places     reputed     as    not 
M^llini;     were   the     St.    Nicholas,    Grand    Central, 
L'liUm      Place,       Everett      House,      "Westminster, 
the  St.  James,  the  Sturtevant  House,  the  Grand, 
nn.i  the  Buckingham,  bat  at  many  of  these  the  de- 
sired refreshments  could  be   obtained  with  a  little 
6n€-.sse.  At  the  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel  the  bar  was  actual- 
ly closed,  nnd  the  bar-room  deserted  by  all  save  the 
ri2»r-5t;l'.er  and  his  customers.  At  the  GUsey  House  the 
b.':r  was  also  locked  up.    At  the  Hoffman  House  the 
h>Ar-room  was  closed  and  the  doors  closed,  but  across 
tho    liall  was    an    elegantly -furnished  dining-room, 
where       patrons       could     take       seats      and    or- 
rirr     what      they      wished.       The      Metropolitan, 
the    Coleman      House,      the      Union-Square,     and 
the  "Windsor  all  furnished  the  tabooed  article  «u6 
rifff.     At  a  wine-room  on  Broadway,   near  Madison- 
f^uare.  a  dapper  yriung  man  mounted  guard  at  the 
inner  door  with   a  key  in  his  hand,    locking  and  un- 
lockiuEj  the  door  as  each  customer  arrived  or  de- 
partc'l.    The  bar  of -the  Caf6  Smnswick  was  deserted 
In  favor  of   a  cool  and    spacious  tent  in   the  rear 
of      the     bouse.      bordered      with     flowers      and 
exotic  plants,  inthenddst  of  which  the  guests  quaffed 
their  ciarets  and  champagnes  without  molestation. 
In  Delroonico's  wine-room,  across  the  street,  parties 
of  gentlemen  sat  at  the  little  marble-topped  tables 
similarly  employed,  while  policemen  sauntered  idly 
np     and     down     outsidei      In     the     less     aristo* 
cratic    neighborliood     of     Sixth-avenne,      between 
Twenty-third  and  Thirty-fourth  streets,  which,  by 
virtue  of  its  nightly  population,  may  well  be  termed 
the  **  Haymarket  "  of  Kew-York,  the  case  was  differ- 
ent-   There,  almost   every    comer    grog-shop   was 
closed  and  darkened,  while  tho   proprietors  stood  on 
the  pavement  outside  and    cursed  the  Excise  law  and 
the     Police     audibly.      One    place     on     Thlrtloth- 
Ftreet,      between    Sixth     and     Seventh     avenues, 
did  a  good  business  under  lock  and  key,   the  owner 
explamtng  to  each  customer  that  the  trouble  was 
'■  all  on  account  of  a  falling  out  between  the  Police 
xnA  the  Excise  Board." 

At  Gilmore'a  Garden  1.500  people  listened  to 
the  music,  while  waiters  nuhed  about  with 
mmense  schooners  of  beer,  which  were  emp- 
tied almost  as  fast  as  filled.  In  the  re- 
freshment-rooms long  lines  of  glasses  filled 
with  lemonade  and  other  "temperance  drink'"  were 
ranged  along  tho  bar,  but  it  was  noticed  that  few 
partook  of  them-  A  special  policeman  in  a  blue  suit 
and  cap  bearing  the  legend  "  G.  C.  G."  explained  to 
ft  Times  reporter  that  no  arrests  had  been  made, 
ind  that  "the  Police  weren't  going  to  trouble 
ihem  much  this  year.'*  At  the  Atlantic 
i-Jarden  in  the  Bowerj'.  where  2,0O0  people  were 
gathered,  the  flow  of  lager  was  unceasing  during 
The  whole  evening.  A  similar  state  of  affairs  existed 
ar  the  Paciflr  Gardfm  and  other  neighboring  resorts, 
while  in  every  block  for  half  a  mile  around  at  least 
two  or  three  saloons  were  doing  business  '*onthe 
sly. "  Beer  was  sold  openly  at  Dramatic 
Hall,  within  half  a  block  of  Police  Head-quartem ; 
In  fact,  it  could  be  procured  within  tho  shadow 
af  the  Head-quarter*  boUding  itself.  The 
nerman  pleasure  gardens  alozig  the  East 
.liver.  Jones'  Wood  OoIosseniOf  Hamilton  Park. 
Washington  Park,  and  others,  were  deserted 
vesterrfay  by  all  aavo  a  few  women  and  children. 
Their  prnprietors  say  that  the  Police  won't  allow 
them  to  sell  beer  at  their  Sunday  concerts,  and  that 
Ihe  result  is  the  people  go  down  to  Coney  Island  and 
Rockaw.'iy.  where  they  can  enjoy  their  beer  and 
music  without  inlerfrtrftpce.

ADDRESSES  BY  MRS.  SUSANNAH  EVANS  PECK 
AND  OTHERS  BEFORE  THE  AMERICAN 
TEMPERANCE  UNION  —  THE  EZCENT 
STRIKES  AND  THE  EVILS  OP  DRnTK. 
A  largely-attended  meeting  of  the  American 
Temperance  Union  was  held  yesterday  a£$&moon  at 
Cooper  Institute.  The  eiarcises  were  begun  by  the 
ainging  of  the  stirring  hymn.  •* Yield  Not  tf  Tempta-- 
tion."  by  the  entire  audience,  standing.  It  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Scripture  reading  and  prayer  fofr  the  suc- 
cess of  the  temperance  cause  by  R«v.  Mr.  Hutch- 
ings,  better  known  as  "the  lightning  calculator." 
Rev.  Mr.  Hayes  was  next  introduced,  and  delivered  a 
brief,  but  witty  address,  in  which  he  strongly  favored 
the  delivery  of  temperance  speeches  by  ladies,  if  they 
felt  themselves  equal  ;  to  the  task.  After  a 
few  remarks  by  Hon.  C.  C.  Lee,  Mr.  George  S.  Weeks 
was  introduiced,  and  sani;  very  effectivoly  the  tem- 
perance song,  '•  Dare  to  Say  No,"  which  was  greeted 
with  much  a^laiise.  i 

Mrs.  Susamiah  Evans  Peck  next  delirefed  an  elo- 
qnent  address  on  ithe  theme  "A  Terrible  Tempta- 
tion,'' in  which  she  reviewed  the  different  ;  phases  of 
the  evil  of  liquor  traffic.  In  the  first  place,  she  said, 
liquor  drinking  causes  men  to  spend  their  money  and 
waste  their  labor  on  a  thing  that  profited  them  noth- 
ing and  satisfied  them  not.  The  coimtry  had  ju.'^t 
passed  through  a  violent  convulsion.  We  had  heard 
of  nothing  but  strikes,  strikes,  strikes,  and  had  read 
of  nothing  but  the  riot  and  munler  and  destruction 
that  had  accompanied  those  strikes.  And  now  that 
the  disturbance  was  mibsidlng,  we  found  that,  as  the 
strike  had  been  widespread  in  its  baleful  effects, 
so  it  had  left  behind  it  an  undercurrent  of 
ever-increasmg  miserv.  Oh;  how  ,>she  hated 
tliat  word  ■;  strike,^'  How  she  longed  to 
plead  with  the  working  men  nnd  implore  them  never 
to  strike,  for  strikes  were  bad.  both  in  their  principle 
and  in  their  effect.  T%Tanny  was  their  leader,  and 
starvation  was  their  result,  and  the  voice  that  incited 
working  men  to  take  part  in  them'was  not.  could  not 
be.  that  of  a  friend-  The  speaker  did  not  wish  to  con- 
vey the  impression  by  these  words  that  she  iFas  on 
the  side  of  capital  as  arrayed  against  labor  ;  on  the 
contrary,  she  both  honored  and  respected  every  work- 
inK  man  and  woman  in  the  land,  and  eveiy  tie  of 
birth  and  trainiTicr  united  her  closely  to  them.  She 
condemned  snch  strikes  as  had  recently 
spread  ruin  through  the  land ;  but  there 
was  one  strike  which  she  did  believe  in. 
one  strike  that  she  deemed  justifiable,  and  that  she 
would  even  nrse  as  beinc  not  onlv  praiseworthy  but 
noble  in  its  motivp.  Mr.'*h  of  the  strike,  if  not 
caused  directly  by  the  .liquor  traffic,  might  have  been 
prevented  or  diminLshed  in  its  injurious  eifecta,  and 
the  poor  men  and  women  rendered  better  able  to  sur- 
vive its  terrible  results,  h.ad  that  money  that  had  in 
times  eone  by  been  expended  In  liquor  been  Invested 
in  more  useful  articles.  Lot  the  workani?  men,. 
let  all  men  "strike"  acainst  tho  accursed 
traffic ;  let  them  crush  "it  out.  and  rou"*h. 
nav,  nearly  all.  of  the  causes  of  the  miserv 
and  destitution  in  the  land  would  be  removct. 
If  the  evil  were  something  that  concerned  and  af- 
fected only  the  men  who  drank  liquor,  there  might 
be  less  to  say  about  it.  but  it  conr>erned  and  affect^nl 
even  more  nearly  the  inntfcent  wives  and  little  chil- 
dren of  the  drinkers.  That  which  the  drinker  spent 
In  liquor  was  not  morally  his  own.  but  belonged  to 
those  beings  to  whom  he  was  bound  by  every  tie  of 
honor,  duty,  and  manhood  to  support  and 'cherish. 
If  men  who  entered  a  liquor  saloon  would  but  ask 
themselves  the  questioji  whether  the  money  they 
were  about  to  pay  for  drink  was  rightfully  due  the 
mmseller.  or  their  wives  and  chUdren.  wl^om  thev 
were  bound  to  love  and  care^  for ;  if,  having 
decided  in  favor  of  the  latter,  as  thev  must  do  if  thev 
had  any  manliness,  they  would  strike  against  the 
te'uptation  of  spending  the  money  in  drinR  How 
many  wives  and  chiJdren  mieht  then  be  made  onc« 
more  aa  happy  a.^  in  the  old  da\-R  before  the  husband 
and  father  succumbed  to  temptation.  At  this  point 
the  speaker  related  an  affertimr  storv  of  her  own 
»arlv  experience  in  Wales.  In  conclusion,  she  urged 
all  those  engaged  in  the  "  bodv  and  .soul  destrojnng 
traffic^' to  leave  it,  and  -'strikeout"  Into  s^me  more 
hocorahle  and  honest  buMn'^ss,  in  which  they  miirUt 
reasonably  expect  to  receive  the  respect  of  their  fel- 
low-men. 

Mrs.  Peck  had  hardly  concluded  when  Mr.  J.  B. 
Gibbs.  who  ha<i  remained  unusually  qtiiet  during  the 
proceedings  of  tho  meeting,  broke  out  inanaoex- 
pocted  and  atartlius  irruption  of  rehemeni  appeals 
for  the  organization  next  week  of  a  "great  moral 
reform  partv."  which  should  fru-strate-at  t!he  ballot- 
box  the  wicked  sehemes  of  tiie  rumsellcrs  to  semre

A  special  meetinR  of  the  Barbers'  Union,  of 
which  Mr.  P.  F.  Schmit  is  President,  was  held  last 
evening  at  No.  193  Bowery  for  the  purpose  of  pro- 
testing aacainst  the  practices  of  tbose  m-r-mbers  of  the 
tonsorial  craft  who  per-ist  in  only  charging  half  the 
rates  of  the  regular  shops.  It  was  reported  that  the 
association  already  numbered  about  400  members, 
and  that  branches  had  been  established  in  WiUisms-

determined  to  establish  a  free  labor  bureau,  and  pro- 
pose at  a  future  meeting  to  discuss  the  sj*8t«m  oi  co-

RUSSIAX  AND  TVREJSE  STJTCRERIE8. 

The  London  Pall  Mall  Gazette  ot  July  26  says : 
"There  seems  to  bo  a  real  apprehension  that  the 
Standard  of  the  Prophet  may  be  unfurledi  at  Con- 
stantinople, and  It  is  seriously  believed  that  the 
measore  will  be  followed  hy  wholesale  massacres  of 
Christians.  For  ourselves,  we  have  no  knowledge  of 
the  fact,  and  no  opinion  as  to  its  consequencea.  It  is 
reported,  however,  from  more  than  one  caj^tal  that 
the  nentral  powers  are  very  anxious  on  the  subject, 
and  propose  to  make  protests  and  take  prescantions. 
There  can  he  no  doubt  meanwhile  that  the  tuost  hor- 
rible butcheries  are  going  on  on  both  sides.  |  And  that 
was  foreseen  long  ago.  \Vhat  leaving  the  iRussians 
and  Turks  '  to  fight  it  out '  would  come  to  was 
always  perfectly  clear.  The  capacity  of  both  for 
butchery  is  well  known.  As  for  the  Turks,  they  have 
been  taught  that  they  artf  to  be  exterminated ;  they 
are  aware  that  it  is  thought  right  to  exterminate 
them  because  they  are  Turks ;  and  we  should  ask 
ourselves  which  is  the  most  probable  result  of  what 
to  them  mnst  seera  a  conspiracy  of  the  Christian 
powers  to  get'  the  race  massacred  VI 


LUCCA  SUED  FOB  DAJFAGE. 
The  Taghlatt  publishes  a  vehr  curloiia  anec^ 
dote  of  Pauline  Lucca  and  the  tenor  SoxLatheiler, 
who,  in  1860,  when  she  was  neither  knownmor  rich, 
lent  her  a  diamond  of  great  value,  which  {she  woi|e 
when  she  performed  in  "Semiramide,"  but  fo|rgot  to  re- 
turn to  him.  Sonntheiler  was  thert  rich,  and  thought 
but  little  of  the  jewel.  He,  however,  aft-crward 
asked  La  Lucca  to  restore  the  gem,  and  in  reply  was 
informed  by  the  diva  that  she  had  been  robjbed  of  it. 
At  length  Sonntheiler  fell  into  such  difficulties  that 
he'waa  obliged  to  take  legal  proceedings  against  the 
fair  borrower,  who.  as  sne  could  not  prove  the  rob- 
•bery  alleged  in  her  letters,  was  condenmed,  two  or, 
three  weeks' ago,  to  pay  heavy  damages  to  Sonn-'

BURIED — THE  ANCIENT  PAillLIES  OP 
BTATEN  ISLAXD — ^DESCENDANTS  OV  THE 
ORIGINAL  DUTCH  SETTLERS. 

Yesterday  afternoon  two  of  the  early  settlers 
and  oldest  residents  of  Staten  Island  were  borne  to 
theirlast  resting  places,  and  borled  where  their  an- 
cestors-had been  laid  before  them.  They  were  bom 
within  a  few  months  of  each  other,  at  homes  which 
were,  only  a  few  miles  apart,  died  both  on  the  same 
day.  and  now  lie  within  a  ffew  yards  of  each  other  In 
the  little  i^Ioiravian  Cemetery  at  Castleton  Comers, 
not  far  from  Port  Richmond.  John  0-  Garretson  was 
the  name  of  one,  Christopher  Vroom  of  the  other.  On 
Fridav  of  last  week,  at  New-Dorp.  Mr.  Garretson — 
Mr.  Clute  in  his  history  of  the  Island  spells  it  Gar- 
rison—died at  the  age  of  00  years  and  one  month,  in 
ftill  pos«e.ssion  of  all  his  faculties.  He  was  for  over 
half  a  century  a  member  of  the  Moravian  Church  at 
New-Dorp,  I  and  for  several  terms  In  sac- 
cession  represented  the  town  of  Sonthfleld  as 
Supervisor.  I  He  was  a  soldier  in  the 
war  of  1812,  and  was  all  his  days  a  fanner.  Gar- 
rctsop's  forefVithers  came  frojn  Holland  in  165S,  on 
the  ship  Tlie  Gilded  Beaver.  One  of  the  ancestors  of 
the  deceased  was  a  member  of  the  New-Tork  Assem- 
bly, and  it  was  humorously  said  of  him  tliat  he  car- 
ried more  !  weight  in  that  body  than  any 
other  member,  for  he  turned  the  ^  scales  at 
300  pounds.  Mr.  Garretson  lived  at  Garretson 
Station.  On  the  Staten  Island  Railroad,  where  he  was 
bom  and  froin  which  he  has  seldoms  been  absent. 
The  funeral  services  yesterday  took  place  in  the  new 
Xew-Dorp  Moravian  Alisslon  Church  at  Castleton 
Comers,  There  was  a  large  attendance  of  friends, 
neighbors  and  relatives  of  the  deceased.  Rev.  Mr. 
Volger  officiated,  and  spoke  at  length  upon  Mr. 
Garretson 's  life  and  dwelt  especially  upon  his 
Christian  character  and  example. 

The  same  day  that  witnessed  the  demise  of  Garret- 
son aLso  saW  the  spirit  pass  from  Christopher 
Vroom.  He  died  at  Castleton  Comers,  surrounded 
by  his  friends  and  relatives,  at  the  age  of  90  years 
and  .some  months.  He  was  bom  where  he  died,  and 
passed  his  entire  lifetime  in  that  portion  of  the 
Island.  Puringthe  war  of  1812  he  was  a  Lieutenant 
in  the  Twenty-eighth  New-York  Cavalry.  Vroom's 
father  emigrated  from  Holland  in  1760,  and 
settled  on  Staten  Island  with  the  Moravians. 
At  4  o'clock  yesterday  his  remauis  were 
carried  into  the  same  mission  church  where 
tho  'services'  had  been  so  recently  held  over . 
Garretson.  and  the  sermon  was  delivered  by  the  same 
flergj-man.  The  church  was  more  than  one-third 
filled,  by  the  children,  grandchildren,  great-grand- 
cliildren.  and  great-great-grandchildren  of  the  de- 
ceased, nnd  many  people  from  all  parts  of  the  island 
were  present.  The  casket  was  handsomely  df^corated 
with  flowers,  amon^  which  was  a  large  pillow  of  white 
roses,  with  an  inscription  in  ivy  leaves.  The  minis- 
ter did  not  speak  directly  of 'Mr.  Vroom.  but  dis- 
coursed in  general  terms  upon  the  uncertainty  of  life, 
and  the  nnusual  age  of  the  deceased,  and  nrged  atten- 
tion to  the  clainvs  of  religion  and  the  consolation  it 
aflforded  both  to.  youth  and  old  age.  All  of  Mr. 
Vroom's  nnmeroua  progeny  live  in  the  immediate 
neighborhood  of  the  "  Comers."  and  some  of  his  sons 
are  nambered  among  the  well-known  citizens  of  the 
Inland.  0

ones  what  the  motmtaln  resorts  and  aeaaide 
places  are  to  the  childreu  of  the  rich. 
The  taothera  and  nurses  have  found  abundance, 
where  at  home  often  the  day's  labor  and  recourse  to 
the  pawn  shop  would  scarcely  produce  enough  to 
keep  body  and  soul  together.  Scores  of  physirians. 
standing  well  in  Metronolttan  practice,  have  at- 
tended to  the  j  sufferen*  in  the  inclo.<ied  ijck  wards, 
and  have  ore^nted  every  facility  and  cotafort  in  the 
trealment  of  ^he  most  serious  case.s.  Hundreds  of 
infants  owe  to  this  most  beneficial  institution  of  the 
City  of  charities  their  preservation  from  death.  Their 
mothers  are  Heartful  of  thanks.  The  work,  though. 
Is  notj  nearly  pnded.  Fnurt**en  excursions  have  been

and  arrested.  Judge  Wandell  asked  Keating  what  he 
wanted  done  with  the  prisoner.  Keating  said  that 
he  wanted  his  Sunday  clothes,  and  no  store.  The 
Judge  said  that  he  had  a  right  to  take  them,  as  his 
personal  property,  wherever  he  found  them.  Upon 
the  prisoner  being  led  up  to  the  bar,  it  was  discov-

cf  the  young  people,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Young 
Men's  Christian  i^issocntlons  of  the  various  States, 
were  held  yeeterdf  [y  in  the  Pavilion  at  Ocean  Grove, 
Rev.  Dr.  E,  S.  Stokps  presiding.  Among  the  pfomlnent 
persona  present  Miere  Hon,  James  A.  Bradley,  Gov. 
Bedle,  of  New-Jersey.  Judge  Morris,  of  New-Jer- 
siey,  Postmaster  James,  of  New-York,  ei-Gov.  Joel 
i*arker.  Rev.  S.  Bijowu,  W.  Peck  Smith,  VT.  H.  Fal- 
Cjoner,  of  New-York,  and  others.  The  crowd 
in  the  Pavilion  was  so  great  that  nearly 
5,000  persons  '  wore  compelled  to  remain 
standing  during  the  morning  services.  The 
sprvice  opened  by  singing,  "  Jesxis  shall  reign," 
which  was  followed  with  prayer  by  Rev.  Dr.  Wood- 
ruff, of  New-York,  nnd  the  reading  of  the  Seventy- 
first  Psalm  and  a  portion  of  the  first  chapter  of  the 
Oollossians.  Prof. i! Fischer,  aided  by  Prof."^*illisford 
Dey,  then  led  a  i  volunteer  choir,  consisting  of  100 
ladies  and  gentlemen,  in  singing  "  I  need  Thee  every 
mour."  President^  E.  H.  Stokes  introduced  Rev. 
Andfew  Longocre J  of  the  Greene-Street  Methodist 
Episcopal  Chnrcl^  Of  Philadelphia,  who  took  his  text 
from  the  fifteenth  jchapter  of  St.  John,  and  the  last 
two  words  of,  tlie  second  verse,  "  More  fruit." 
He  opened  his  address  by  calling  attention  to  tho 
wonderful  picture  that  Christ  mokes  of  himself  in 
this  cliapter.  He  was  the  vine,  and  His  followers  its 
branches.  The  test  came  to  every  true  believer  m 
Christ  with  grieat  ifwwer,  "  Every  branch  in  me  that 
beareth  not  friiit  lohsll  be  token  away  :  and  every 
brauch  that!  beareth  fruit  He  pnrgeth  it. 
that  it  mayi  |i  bring  forth  more  fruit." 
How  many.;  hej  asked,  were  in  the  Church 
that  bear  fruit.  jAmong  the  younger  people  that 
class  was  growing,  and  to  these  branches  he  spoke. 
Tjhe  text  teaches  thlat  God  is  constantly  laboring  t^ 
make  every  worketl  better,  and  to  bring  out  of  bis 
life  more  than  wos|«ver  In  it  before.  He  was  alwavs 
getting  them  ready  for  more  work.  The 
fruit  that  Chrisp  wants  is  all  the  virtne. 
grace,  and  gooditess  of  a  Christian  character. 
The  ftruit  of  the  Spirit  is  in  all  goodness  and  right- 
eousness and  tmtn.  There  are  no  genuine  conver- 
sions but  when  the  soul  goes  directly  to  work 
for  the  Master.  Good  fruit  is  so  good  that  it  would 
be  silent,  but  you  can't  keep  snch  a  life  silent-  Some- 
''mes  a  few  woriSs  are  powerful  because  of  their 
ire  character--  What,  he  asked,  bos  been  the  pur- 
se of  God's,  proHdence,  os  He  led  us  through  the 
'  stormy  ;  nolli  of  life  ?  Why  He  was 
ng  to  have  us  bpar  more  fruit.  We  wonder  why 
llj  is  that  certain  good  people  ore  terribly  stricken 
ith  afflictions,  and  when  we  ask  God  why.  He 
answers.  "  More  fttinit."  It  is  a  grand  desire  to  want 
to  save  a  aonl.  \yiien  we  think  in  this  world  that 
vpible  piety  is  potpnt,  is  it  not  mean  to  have  jus*

a  report 


A  TACHt  \SVXK  IX  IHE  SOZTXD, 

There  was  a  report  In  circulation  in  Green- 
port  on  Thtirsday  atftemoon  and  Friday  that  a  large 
schooner  yacht  haa|been  sunk  in  the  Sound  off  East 
Marion,  with  all  on  board,  and  there  was  much  con- 
sequent excitement.  .The  vessel  afterward  proved 
to  be  the  schooner  Samuel  W.  Meldon,  of  Xoank. 
She  was  seen  from  the  bluffs  about  midway  between 
Ekst  Marion  and  Orient,  beating  down  the  Sound 
against  a  very  stroiiig  south-east  wind  and  rough  sea, 
i^d  apparently  lal:lbring  heavily.  As  she  turned  to 
tack  to  the  north-wfest,  her  headway  belne  gone,  tho 
wind  caught  her  and  forced  h§r  over  on  her  side,  and 
tlie  men  could  be  seen  clambering  np  her  side  and 
afterward  in  their  boat.  The  schoouer  lay  in  that 
position  for  three-g  barters  of  an  hour,  and  then,  hav- 
ing swung  arounoll  so  that  the  masts  lay  with  the 
wind,  the  sails  w€(re  lifted  so  that  the  air  that  had 
buoyed  her  up  escaped  from  the  bilge,  and  she  sank 
immediately.  It  woa  at  first  supposed  that  the  men. 
having  kept  their  boat  under  the  lee  of  the  vessel  for 
8  Ifety  from  the  hliph  sea,  had  been  carried  down  by  - 
tbe  suction,  but  It  was  subsequently  ascertained  that 
tliey  were  picked  ^p  by  the  schooner  Q.  A.  Bently 
and  taken  intd  Kew-London. 

A  CKABBS  OF  EMBEZZLEMENT, 

[Mr.  Gillette,  ode  of  the  present  Excise  Com- 
missioners of  j  Flnlhing,  announces  that  the  board 
will,  in  Septemberi  next,  take  the  necessary  steps  to 
secure  the  indictnient  of  Mr.  Isaac  Poole,  who  was  a 
member  of  theiboaid  lost  year,  on  the  charge  of  em- 
bezzlement. Stir.  (Gillette  states  that  about  a  dozen 
liquor  dealers,  prininpally  doing  business  at  Bayslde 
ai  d  Little  Neck,  had  made  complaint  that  they  had 
gl  pen  the  money  foir  their  licenses  to  Mr.  Poole,  as 
w  sll  as  the  necessary  papers,  requesting  him  to  see 
tlat  their  licenses'|were  granted,  but  that  they  had 
received  no  licenses^  and  when  they  applied  to  the 
b<  ard  were  informed  thc.t  the  Treasurer  hod  never 
received  the  amounts  alleged  lo  have  been  paid.  Mr. 
P)ole  has  hitherto  been  regarded  as  a  gentleman 
without  reproach,  and  it  is  claimed  by  his  friends 
tl  at  his  mind  haa  probably  been  affected  by  on  injury 
re  celved  some  time  I  ago  in  a  railroad  collision.  4

THE  CINCINNATI  FIRE. 


HOW    SIX    LIVES     "WERE     L06T— HEROISM    OP 
TWO  OF  THE  BOYISH  VICTIMS. 
In  its  account  of  the  burning  of  the  cigftivbox 
factory  in   Cincinnati,   on  FridJay  morning  last,  the 
Gazette  of  that  city  says : 

■ '  It  was  a  cigar-box  factory  on  a  large  scale — a 
five-story  brick  building  on  Broadway,  above  Eighth- 
avenue,  standing  back  from  the  street  a  distance  of 
40  feet.  The  lower  story  was  used  as  a  saw-milL 
The  yard  in  front  and  at  the  side  was  piled  full  of 
saw-logs.  The  timber  was  thus  taken  in  the 
rough,  sawod  into  boards,  and .  then  into 
the  thin  slips  from  which  cigar-boxes  are 
made.  Of  course  the  different  stories  of  such  a  place 
wotdd  be  full  of  diy  combustible  material — a  verita- 
ble powder-honse,  almost,  when  exposed  to  fire. 
3Ioreover,  it  was  pro\ided  with  a  hoist,  a  sort  of  ele- 
vator, running  from  the  basement  to  the  top  storj*.  and 
fonnlng  a  most  excellent  conductor  for  flames  from 
the  bottom  to  the  top  of  the  building.  Be- 
sides this,  it  had  a  flume  le-iding  from  the 
working  rooms  to  the  engine  floor,  through  which  the 
shavings,  sawdust,  and  all  waste  bits  of  diy  material 
could  be  shot  down,  ready  for  the  furnace  fire.  Still 
further  to  complete  its  adaptation  to  its  final  use.  it 
had  a  single  narrow  stairway  without  casing,  which 
formed  the.  only  fire  escape.  Here  was  the  death 
trap  in  which  onlv  sLs  victims  were  caught,  for  the 
reason  that  the  otliers  had  not  yet  gone  to  work. 

The  factory  belonged  to  George  Pelstring  &  Co.  It 
stands  almost  directlv  across  the  street  from  thp  pic- 
ture frame  factory  of  J.  &  A.  J.  Nurre.  The  Nurres 
are  said  to  be  the  company  of  this  Srm.  Their  f/ic-. 
tory  is  closed  now  from  the  last  fire,  which  tO"k  out 
its  inner  works.  A  few  minutes  before  7  o'cjock, 
the  engineer  and  his  son  had  light*^d  the  fires  and 
bad  gone  out  of  the  engine-room  to  attend  to  some 
other  duty.  It  was  not  far  from  the  furnace 
door  to  the  shavings -room,  where  the  shavings, 
sawdust.  and  bits  of  wood  sent  dowm 
from  the  upper  stories  were  slorfd.  It  is  the  opinion 
of  the  engineer  thot  a  spark  fiom  the  jumace  flow 
into  this  cftmbustible  pile,  and  it  mi^hr  almost  as 
well  have  fallen  into  so  mnch  gunjtowder.  Verj- 
shortly  thereafter  they  discovered  the  jlre.  and  they 
think  that  in  less  than  three  minutes  the  wh^te 
building  was  in  flames.  It  was  like  an  immenw  tin- 
dor  bos.  Small  time  indeed  fvir  the  escape  of  tho 
frightened  girls  in  the  fourth  storj*.  with  that  great 
furnace  of  fire  between  them  and  the  safe  e;trth. 
So  thoroughly  ha-S  the  death-trap  been  planned  tiuit 
its  fearful  work  was  accomplished  before  the  firemen 
could  give  assistance.  More  helpless  still  were  the 
horrified  citizens,  who  ran  to  the  place.  There  w;i£ 
no  escape.  Within  three  minutes  after  the  fire  be- 
gan portions  of  the  walls  had  slipped  in. 

It  was  not  yet  7  o'clock,  and  was  not  quite 
time  to  begin  work.  Th*^re  were  ifive  girls  in  the 
fourth  story — Minnie  Koebbe.  Kate  Poctker.  Marj- 
Xnrre,  .Tosephine  Bey.  and  Anna  Pimd.  In  the  third 
story,  below  them,  were  five  or  six  bovs  and  young 
men  rffldy  to  begin  work.  As  the  fire  "^hot  up  the 
elevaior.one  of  these  ho\-s.  Heary  Ma,*ig.  ran  up  to  the 
jrirrs  story  and  shouted  to  Imrrj-  do'n^.  a.i  the  buiM- 
ing  was '  on  fir*-.  This  fearful  -message  came 
to  the  ears  of  the  girls.  who  knew  too 
well  the  value  of  the  scanty  clothing  'they  are  able  to 
get.  and  their  first  thought  was  to  save  their  clothing. 
yhey  are  in  the  habit  of  taking  off  their  street -drest^es 
when  they  go  to  work,  and  hanging  thera  up.  Maac 
came  a  second  time. 'at  the  cost  of  his  own  life,  and 
tuld  the  girls  for  God,*s  sake  to  hurry  down.  Two 
nf  the  five  girls,  who  were  qoi-jker  than  their  com- 
p■^mon-';.  started  screaming  down  the  narrow  stair- 
way. Young  Maag.  more  anions  for  the  safety  of 
the  fflrls  than  carefnl  of  his  own  life,  remaine^^i 
till  he  bad  got  the  girls  staned  down  stairs.  .  It  was 
too  late  for  him  to  escape.  Foremost  was  Kate  Poet- 
ker.  close  behind  her  carae  Anna  Pand.  Katie  and 
Anna  nished  wildly  down,  meeting  volumes  of  hot 
smoke,   which  might  have   frightened  less  resolni*' 

S'ris.  At  ihe  top  nf  the  la-^t  flic:ht  of  stairs  their 
ngs  and  eves  were  so  filled  ivith  smoke,  and  tho  air 
was  so  hot  from  the  flames,  that  the  foremoRt  one  al- 
most lost  her  conscionsnf  s.<l  She  was  closely  pres.*;ed 
by  Anna  Pund,  who.  in  her  fright.  ca31ed  out  to  ■  go 
on  !  CO  on  !  ■  On  the  la.*it  staincay  both  girls  met  the 
fl.-imes  and  fell  helpless  to  the  floor.  Here  timely 
h'-lp  came  to  them,  and  they  were  hastily  carried  oat 
to  a  place  of  safety.  Both  "were  severely  bumei  on 
the  right  hand  an'd  arm.  probably  from  the  burning 
riiilinc.  and  al.<:o  about  the  face,  from  the  sheer  heat 
of  the  stairway.  Portunately  their  clothing  did  not 
igr.ite. 

*■  WT.at  became  of  the  other  girls  ?  This  can  only  b<» 
answered  by  the  testimony  of  those  who  were  about 
the  building.  The  two  girls  who  esv'aped  were  wholly 
Tinnble  to  tell  anj-tbing  about  them,  except  thar  they 
thought  th-^y  were  coming  down  stairs.  In  thi,«i 
ff-arfnl  moment,  while  tbfl  flames  were  roaring  and 
the  liirht  mr.t^^riaJ  was  feeding  its  fUrj- at  a  deathly 
rate,  these  flame- imprisoned  girl?  were  »ecn  at  the 
windows  on  the  side  where  the  stairway  was.  shriek- 
ing most  piieously  for  help.  Below  them  was  a  shed, 
upon  which,  if  they  had  dared,  they  might  h.ive 
jumped  at  the  risk  of  broken  limbs.  But  th"ey  were 
paraJvAed  by  fear,  or  were  so  overcome  liy  the  heat 
and  smoke  as  to  be  unable  to  m«ke  an  effort  to  sav^  ■. 
themselves.  The  helpless  people  below  who  saw 
thenv  at  the  window  grew  sick  at  heart  as  the  last 
hope  fled,  and  the  poor  girls  fell  out  of  si^ht  forever 
in  the  ruins.  The  wildest  eit-itement  prevailed  in 
the  crowd.  It  was  not  then  known  hnw  many  people 
were  in  the  bailditig.  and  the  phocking  rumor  ran 
from  mouth  to  mouth  that  a  hundred  employes  were 
consumed. 

"But  there  were  others  in  the  bnildicg  who  lost 
their  lives — ^Frank  Studier.  John  Claosenbare.  and 
Henry  Maag.  How  they  died 'cannoT  he.  told,  only 
there'is  a  story  of  heroism  ronnecred  with  one  of 
them,  perhaps  with  all.  showing  that  they  c/uild 
have  «;aved  themselves  if  they  liad  not  vainly  tried  to 
save  others.  Henry  Maag.  as  alread^v  staled,  lost  his 
life  while  waiting  to  warn  the  girls  of 
their  danger.  He  was  strong,  courageous,  and 
''onfident  of  his  sbility  tn  :  save  him»^elf. 
Claiizenberg  had  been  down  stairs,  but  thinking  he 
could  help  save  the  girls  he  mshed  up.  only  to 'find 
him.'self  in  a  fierj  furnace.  ,  In  despair,  be  dashed 
Ihroiigh  a  third-story  window,  bis  clothing  and  hair 
all  al'Iaze,  and  jumped  to  the  grodd.  He  was  taken 
to  the  hospital,  where  he  died  in  a  few 
hours,  not  having  recovered  hi.i  consciousness- 
Frank  .Studier.  one  of  tbe  best  -boys  about 
the  establishment, it  is  said  had  actually  re-iohcl  the 
ground  in  safety,  and  bad  assisted  in  helping  out  the 
two  girls  who  fell  helple.ss  at  the  bottom  of  the  .nair- 
way.  and  then,  in  >plte  of  the  remonstrances  of 
friends,  he  dashed  into  the  burning  building  to  get 
the  others  who  were  not  able  to  escape.  The  poor 
fellow  was  rauzbt  by  the  fury  of  the  Games,  and  was 
unable  either  to  give  assistance  to  oiiiers  or  to  save 
himself."        '  

MR.  STAPLETOXAXD  HIS  MOTBER-INLAW. 

The  Indianapolis  Journal  of  Thursd.ay  relates 
the  following;  "  There  was  an  exciting  time  at  the 
house  of  Mr.  Stapleton,  in  the  north-eastern  part  of 
the  city,  last  night.  Shortly  after  the  family  had  re- 
tired strange  noises  were  heard  in  the  kitchen,  and 
Mr.  Stapleton's  mother-in-law  was  oonfldent  there 
was  a  burglar  there.  An  investigation  having  been 
decided  upon,  Mr.  S.  armed  himself  w^.lh  a  heavy 
silver-headed  cane,  which  he  carries  on  Sundays  and 
holidays,  and  having  provided  his  moth^T-in-law  with 
a  lighted  candle,  told  her  to  lead  on.  He  put  her  in 
front,  OS  he  said,  so  that  the  whole  room  might  be 
iliuminated  when  he  rushed  in.  and  be  could  see  ex- 
actly where  to  strike.  He  told  his  mother-in-law  if 
any'pistol-shootiBg  occurred  she  must  hold  the  light 
directlyinfrontof  her.  soastodazzle  the  bm^lar's 
eyes  and  prevent  his  aim,  bat  on  no ,  account  to  get 
behind  him.  (Mr.  S..)  as  he  would  bo^almost  sure  to 
hurt  her  while  swinging  his  cane.  Tie  good  woman 
obeyed  instructions  implicitly.  WTie^  they  deployed 
into  the  kitchen,  a  racket  was  heard  ui  the  comer  as 
of  a  falling  dish  or  pan,  and  then  a  large  cat 
dashed  madly  against  a  sheet  which  was  h'^ngiug  in 
the  room  to  cLrj\  Staplet  on,  greatly  eicted  and 
thinking  the  time  for  action  hod  come,  swung  his 
cane  over  his  head  and  made  a  deadly  blow  at  the 
sheet.  "Unfortunately  it  was  misdirected  and  struck 
his  mother-in-law  on  the  side  of  ^er  neck.  She 
dropped  the  candle  and  set  up  a  scraam.  In  the 
■  darkness  which  ensued  Mr.  Stapleton  struck  wildly 
about,  hitting  the  sheet  ocasionoily.  ■  but  his  moth- 
er-in-law much  oftener,  she  meanwhile  kicking  the 
floor  with  her  heels  and  screaming  artbe  top  of  her 
voice.  She  wotild  probably  havo  been  kiflcd,  had 
not  Mrs.  Stapleton  come  rushing  into  the  room  with 
a  light,  which  disclosed  the  true  situajtion.  Mr-  Sta- 
pleton immediately  conunenced  looIdi;g  for  the  dead 
burglar,  and  was  only  recalled  to  a  sense  of  filial 
duty  by  the  excited  eiclam-ations  of  his  wife.  On 
esuunination  his  mother-in-law  was  found  not  to  bt* 
seriouf-ly  wormded.  though  she  will' be  confined  to 
her  bed  for  several  davs.  Mr.  Stapleton  thinks  tie 
burglar  got.  in  throii^jh  tho  cellar  ivind-jw.  which 
opens  on  the  north  side  of  the  house  into  an  alley."

THE  CZAR  IX  BULGARIA. 

A  correspondent  of  the  Go/o.-i,  (the  ••Voice,") 
writing  under  date  the  24th  of  June;  (July  G>  from 
Simnitza,  says:  "Yesterday,  the  :33d  of  June, 
(July  5.)  his  Majesty  was  ia  the  tleighborhood  of 
Simnitza,  and  was  pleased  to  inspect  the  troops 
which  liad  arrived.  The  sovereigA.  remained  on 
horseback  for  five  consecutive  hours,  and  traversed 
20  versto,  going  over  a  frightful  road.  Fatigue, 
camp  life,  and  excitement  have  ha0  an  extraordi- 
narily favorable  effect  on  his  iiaiestv,  judging  from 
the  fact  that  he  seems  better  in  health  than  he  hts^ 
ever  been  before.  There  was  cause  to  fear,  oi^d,  i%-, 
deed,  foreign  papers  have  said  so  openly,  that  tlar.

TBB  OLOSED  MILL  AT  RQPKYILLt. 

The  Springfield,  (Mass. )  B^v&Uoan.  of  Fridaiy 

says:      "The  recent  closing  of    the  New-E&cland  ' 

woolen-mills  at  Rockvilla,  Ooan..  throwing  obont 
140  hands  out  of  employment,  is  the  flxot  direct 
hlowthe  town  has  received  bf  the  long*pi«vaiUn$ 
business  panic  The  mill  is  not  yet  in  bankruptcy, 
hat  has  ceased  running,  and  creditors  hava  placed 
attachments  on  every  disoeruiblo  scrap  of  property. 
The  mill  bos  been  run  verv  liberally,  not  to  say  ex- 
travaganfly.  during  the  lost  few  yoars,  and  is  now 
ecjupped  with  enurely  new  machinery  throughout. 
To  meet  these  extraordinary  expenses  and  probohla 
deficits  in  the  current  bu-siness.  loans  were  obtAined 
from  Thomas  &  Co.,  a  Xew-York  dry  goods  and  com- 
mission  firm  of  longstanding  and(exoollfrnt  reputa- 
tion. This  firm,  however,  suocnm^ed  to  the  inevit- 
table  last  wwefc,  and  has  pone  into  bankruptcy  wiQ] 
liabUities  <?f  $450,000.  and  a.<;set«  nominally  of  tho 
same  amount,  that  ore  thought  likiely  to  be  good  for  50 
cents  on  the  dollar.  Among  these  assets  is  a  claim  ol 
$180,000  against  the  New-England  mills,  to  secura 
which  the  assignee  attempted  to  attach  all  the 
property,  but.  the  process  being  hastily  served,  W. 
])-  iiobbs  &  Co..  of  Boston,  havo  found  a  resting 
place  for  an  attachment  to  cover  a  claim  of  $12.005 
for  wool.  This  firm  had  also  recently  sold  20,000 
pounds  of  wool,  but  it  had  not  been  worked  up  and 
18  now  toeing  taken  back  to  Boston.  As  the  mit  had 
a  weekly  pay-day,  the  help  are  only  a  fortnight  bac^ 
in  their  waces.  'The  other  claims'  acoinst  the  mill 
are  of  $25,000  by  the  Norwich  Sa^-injcs  Bank.  ■» 
cured  by  a  mortgage,  and  of  the  two  local  national 
b.^nks  of  SfiO.OOO  to  $70.O0O  for  money  advanced  ot 
Thomas  &  Co, 's  acceptances.  To  meet  these  tJaims 
of  alwut  $180,000.  the  mill  property  will  hardly  sel 
for  what  has  been  expended  upon  it  m  the  la«t  thrw 
years.  .  This  amount  is  estimated  by  ontslde  partiet 
at  from  $75.000  to  $200,000.  while  one  expert 

S laces  the  pre.<*nt  value  of  the  mill  aalowa8$40,- 
Oft,  and  its  friends  think  it  ou^t  to  sell  for  $123^- 

A  STIGMA  OX  AMERICAN  HOXESTT.  j 
A  writer  in  the  London  World  of  Jaly25 
says  : ,  *•  Every  tradesman  has  a  right  to  choose  faia 
own  customers,  but  he  ought  to  do  it  withon*  mak- 
ing himself  needlessly  offensive.  American  ^4Ktort 
to  Liondon  are  justly  incensed  at  a  painted  eicn which 
has  been  placed  in  an  Ulster  coat-maker's  window,  in 
Conduit-stroet.  announcing  that  no  orders  will  bo  zft. 
ceived  from  Americjms  without  a  deposit.  If  it  had 
said  *  strangers'  or  *  foreigners'  no  one  wouM  hav« 
bod  a  right  to  complain  ;  but  to  east  a  stigma  on  the 
honcstv  of  Americans  alone  is  an  in.«ult  "which 
naturally  provokes  great  ill-feeling.  Many  remon- 
strances have  been  addres-sed  to  Mr-  Benjaminxm  the 
subject,  someofthemrstberpointed  in  their  choa-acter. 
At  the  same  time,  I  beg  to  bring  to  the  koowiedn 
of  JDy  American  friends  the  fac^  that  it  is  the  fa^t 
of  their  own  conntrymen  that  their  commercial  good 
name  is  sometimes  brought  into  disrepute.  A  well 
known  furniture-maker  of  Oxford-street  bos  a  mos| 
e-pensive  bedroom  suit  in  his  show-rooms,  which 
was  specially  ordered  some  time  ago  by  an  American, 
who  has  never  siu'-e  been  beard  of.  I  ha^'O  a  friend 
who  suiFered  to  a  still  greater  eitt^nt.  An  American 
li\'ing^n  one  of  the  historic  houses  in.  Newc-Vork- 
State^lled  upon  him  and  borrowed  X4.00Oin  hard 
money,  and  has  never  returned  a  shilling  nor  au< 
swereA  a  single  application  which  has  been  addressed 
to  him  for  the  money.  American  gentlemen  will 
eaMIy  understand  the  effect  which  such  tr^iaactionf 
as  these  inevitably  produce."

London,  Aug.  6. — The  snecesses  of  the 
Turks  have  upset  the  calculatiocs  of   Prince 
Bismarck,  who  i»  now  actively  engaged  in  in- 
trieuing  with  Russia  and  Austria,  in  the  expec- 
tation of  infinenceing  the  latter  to  consent  to  the 
passage  of  Bnssian  reinforcements  through  Ser- 
vian territory  to  a  position  of  advantage  on  the 
Tojkish  left  Sank.     Austria  wavers  in  the  pres- 
ence of   the  nncertainty  of   action  on  the  part 
■  of    the  British    Government,  whUe  the  latter 
is  evidently  anxious  to  let  the  -Turks  flght  it 
out,  their  successes  having  much  relieved  the 
emharrassment    of    the    Ministry.    England, 
much     as     she     desires'   to     maintain      her 
neutrajity,    could    hardly   silently   permit    an 
active    combination   of   the  three  Emperors  to 
rob  Turkey  of  the  results  of  her  victories.     The 
politioai  situation  at  this  moment  is  as  critical 
as  it  is  interesting.    England  is  as  uncertain  as 
over.  Russia  is  appealing  to  Germany,  and  the 
situation  is  therefore  almost  wholly  under  the 
control  of  Austria,  who  in  tnm  fears   to  be 
firm. 

While  the  Turks  are  massed  on  the  Bussian 
frontier  in  Asia,  the  Russians  are  falling  back 
in  disorder  in  Europe  before  the  victorious  Ot- 
tomans. Another  battle  has  been  fought  south 
jf  the  Balkans,  by  which  Suleiman  Pasha  has 
recaptured  Kasanlik,  at  the  southern 
mouth  of  the  Schipka  Pasi>,  with  all 
its  guns  and  material,  driving  Gen.  Gourkho 
pell-mell,  across  the  mountains.  This  is  the 
chief  incident  since  the  battle  of  Plevna.  Turk- 
ish divisions  from  Plevna  and  Loftscha  now  oc- 
cupy Selvi,  and  the  Russians  are  melting  away 
before  the  Tturkish  troops. 

The  Turkish  Generals  continue  to  report 
Russian  massacres  of  Mohammedans,  while  the 
Russians  report  Turkish  massacres  of  Chris- 
tians. Both  reports  are,  no  doubt,  true.  There 
is  every  evidence  that  this  is  the  most  barbarous 
war  since  the  Dark  Ages.  To-day  the  special  cor- 
respondent of  The  Xew-Tobk  Tdies  at  Shomla 
»legraphs  as  follows  : 

"  Railroad  communication  has  been  fully  re- 
established. When  the  Turks  recaptured  Es- 
ki-Saghra.  it  was  learned  that  while  the  Russians 
bad  possession  of  the  place,  the  Turkish  male 
inhabitant-s  were  called  before  a  tribunal  largely 
»mposed  of  Bulgarians,  under  a  pretense  that 
:hey  should  be  registered,  and  were  then  sys- 
wmatically  and  ruthlessly  massacred.  These 
oasurgent  Bulgarians,  of  course,  on  the  return 
of  the  Turks  fied  to  the  Balkans,  after  firing 
the  villages  here  and  about  Vama  and  Rasgrad. 
"  Meheipet  All's  appointment  has  infused  a 
new  spirit  of  activity  everywhere,  and  another 
great  battle  is  expected." 

The  special  correspondent  of  Thz  New- York 
Times,  writing  from  Simnitza  under  date  of 
July  30,  on  the  eve  of  the  great  battle 
at  Plevna,  says :  "The  result  must  decide  the 
fate^  of  the  present  campaign.  The  Russian 
troojpscan  no  more  be  compared  to  the  Germans 
than  the  greasy  warriors  of  King  John  of 
Abyssinia  to  the  French.  Strategically  and 
tactically,  every  conception  of  the  Russian  Gen- 
erals is  faulty,  and  their  execution  is  defective. 
An  army  of  300,000  soldiers  crossed  the  Pruth. 
and  there  are  240.000  of  their  men,  according 
to  the  Russian  accounts,  on  Turkish  soil,  and 
with  what  result  I  This  splendid  army  has 
moved  along  eccentric  and  divergent  lines, 
where  each  step  forward  removed  each  frae- 
tion  further  from  its  base  and  from  the 
possibility  of  muttial  support.  Another  defeat 
will  render  the  present  positions  untenable. 
With  no  organized  commissariat,  no  money,  and 
no  General  capable  of  commanding  a  brigade,  I 
prophesied  that  if  150,000  Russians  reached, 
the  second  line  of  the  Turkish  defense,  not 
many  of  them  would  ever  get  back  to  the 
Danabo.  My  predictions  were  founded  on  my 
knowledge  of  the  country  and  of  the  quality  of 
the  Turkish  soldiers."

Chicago,  111.,  Aug.  6. — ^A  Tribune  spectel 
from  Green  Bay,  Wit.,  says:  "  The  very  d^- 
agreeable  drought  wfiich  had  protracted  its  stWy 
for  many  weeks  past!  in  this  part  of  Wisconsin, 
accompanied  -with  the  usual  forest  and  prairie 
fires,  culminated  yesterday  in  a  destructive 
conflagration  a  few  miles  east  of  this 
citv,  sweeping  ijefore  it  the  thickly 
settled  farming  T  j-wnship  of  Eaton.  For 
two  weeks  past  -wijods  in  neighborhood  of 
Woodruff's  Mills  hi  ve  been  burning  ssore  or 
less  vigorously,  onlnously  threatening  the 
neighboring  farminj  settlements.  The  creep- 
ing motion  which  the  fixe  had,  as  I  yet  main- 
tained was  urged  to  almost  -lightning  ra- 
pidity by  a  small  hurricane  which  put 
in  an  appearance  [Saturday  night;  SaJday 
morning  saw  no  cassation  of  the  fire.  The 
wind  relaxed  only  to  come  on  with  double 
fury  in  the  afternoon.  Most  of  lihe 
men  in  the  township  were  off  in  camp 
on  the  prairies  roaidng  hay,  and  their  wi-y-es 
at  home  bad  to  turn  out  and  do  duty  in  fighting 
the  fire.  Their  utmost  efforts  availed  nothing. 
They  were  bafae<l  at  every  point  I  and  again 
and  again  sought  new  places  of  safety 
with  their  children.  In  the  eiitire  to^ 
only  three  houses  remain  standing,  the  inmates 
barely  escaping  wild  their  lives,  and  with  mo 
earthly  possessions  but  the  clothes  on  their 
backs,  and  even  Ihese  in  most  cases  were 
scorched  and  tatter  !d  to  such  a  degree  as  to  af- 
ford no  protection.  {Henry  Siefter,  whose  dwell- 
ing seems  to  have  escaped  by  something  like 
a  miracle,  bams,  fences,  and  everything  else 
around  it  having  hepn  swept  away  like  so  much 
chaff,  came  to  Greet  Bay  to-day  to  obtain  refief 
for  the  sufferers.  He  had  turned  his  house  into 
"  a  general  hospital.  From  him  the  particul^s, 
such  as  are  known,  were  obtained.  [ 

It  was  in  the  cent:*  of  a  plowed  field  near  his

Washington,  Aug.  6. — Among  the  mem- 
bers of  the  last  Congress  who  violently  de- 
nounced the  use  of  Federal  troops  in  quelling 
disturbances  in  the  Southern  States  was  James 
D.  Williams,  now  Governor  of  Indiana.  Even 
when  the  call  was  I  made  upon  the  P*resident, 
according  to  the  prescribed  constitutional  forms, 
Mr.  Williams  held  such  use  of  the  Federal 
power  to  b(i  unjustifiable  usurpation.  Before 
calling  for  the  use  of  Federal  aid  the 
Governor  of  a  State  making  the  call  is  required 
to  exhaust  all  his  power  in  quelling  the  \'iolence, 
and  his  call  npon  the  President  mu.st  state  this 
fact.  In  addition,  he  must  state  that  he  cannot 
convene  the  Legislature  in  time  to  deal  with 
the  insurrection,  and  acknowledge  that  he  has 
not  sufficient  force  at  his  command  to  put  down 
lawlessness  and  maintain  the  peace.  During 
the  recent  railroad  troubles  Gov.  Williams  found 
himself  unable  to  cope  -with  the  rioters,  and  for- 
getting, in  his  gr^at  trepidation  and  evident 
imbecility,  his  denunciations  of  the  use  of 
I  Federal  troops  in  tlie  domestic  broils  of  a  State, 
anade  thi  following  appeal  for  Federal  aid : 

Indianapolis,  July  26. 
To  the  Prttidint,  Waihington,  D.  C: 

In  viowl  of  (the  threatened  domestic  -riolenco  grow, 
ing  out  of  the  railroad  strike.  I  request  that  authority 
be  at  once  given  to  the  Commandant  of  the  .\rpena! 
to  render  me  all  aid  possible  in  preserving  the  public 

peace.  

JAMES  D.  WILLIAMS.  Governor  of  Indiana. 

It  will*be  noticed  that  Gov.  Williams  in  this 
appeal  pays  no  attention  to  the  legal  forms  re- 
quired in  such  an  emergency,  and  requests  the 
President  to  send  hun  Federal  troops  in  a  man- 
ner which  would  indicate  that  he  has 
abandoned  his  former  theories  upon  this 
question,  and  thAt  he  now  believes  the 
President  can  order  Federal  troops  to  quell  vio- 
lence in  any  State  without  lejal  restrictions  and 
npon  the  mere  request  of  a  Governor.  There  is 
a  wide  difference  between  Democratic  theory 
and  practice  npon  this  questionjariicularly  as 
illustrated  in  the  cases  of  Gov.  Williams,  of  In- 
diana, and  Gov.  Matthews,  of  West  Virginia^ 
during  the  railroad  troubles.  Secretary  JIc- 
Crary,  to  whom  Gov.  Williams'  appeal  was  re- 
ferred by  the  President,  repUed  as  follows : 

Washinotox.  D.  C,  July  26. 
James  D.  Williams^  Goremor  nf  Indiana: 

In  the  absence  of  a  formal  coll  upon  the  President 
under  the  Constitution  and  statutes  for  military  aid

con  only  be  used  in  protecting  the  property  of  the

ing received  SI, 500  for  repcatiug  yie  same

1,3  campiaigns,  Stats  and  national,  since  I8,'56, 
spending  in  time  an  average  of  six  or  seven 
weeks ;  ,  that  in  the  most  of  these  con- 
tests he  I  paid,  the  bulk  of  his 
expenses  oiit  of  his  own  pocket,  many  times 
when  he  could  ill  I  afford  it,  and  to  the  utter 
neglect  of  his  private  affairs.  That  at  such 
times  he  was  compelled  to  decline  political  work 
unless  his  incidentjal  expenses  were  paid,  and 
that  his  expenses  paid  by  himself  greatly  ex- 
exceeded  his  compensation  from  any  and  all 
quarters.  In  a  word,  he  pronounces  the  story 
about  his  putting  thousands  of  dollars  in  his 
pocket  grossly  false  in  fact  and  conclusion.

North-west  concerning  depredations  committed 
by  citizens,  in  the  United  States  timber  districts.

have  Seen  receive<l  at  the  State  Department

Fiji  "nmes  mentioned  that  such  news  had  been

nothing  has  been  learned  as  to  the  result.

Fortress  Monroe,  Va.,  Aug.  6. — The  re- 
cent strike  has  materialjly  interfered  with  the 
operations  of  thei  i  artHlery  school  at  this 
post.  Gen.  George  '^.  Getty,  Command- 
ant, aifd  four  companies  of  artillery 
have  been  taken  from  the  fort,  leaving 
but  one  company  to  do  garrison  duty.  Two 
companies  have  gone  to  j  Pittsburg.  Penn.,  with 
Gen.  Getty,  and  two  t<{  Washington.  This  is 
rather  hard  on  the  ofiicers,  as  Civigress  has 
made  no  provision  for  their  payment  for  the 
past  month  or  the  three  months  following.  Still 
they  are  eipected  to  do  duty  and 
live  lile  feentlenien.  They  rill  proba- 
bly retim  jhere  by  the  1st  of  Septem- 
6er,  whsn  fhe  studies]  of  the  class  will  be 
resumed.  The  course  of  studies  at  this  school 
have  bee  a  vejry  much  iinproved  under  the  able 
administration  of  Gen.  Getty  acd  Gen.  Upton. 
Some  20  horses  have  hpen  procured,  and  the 
officers  ire  required  to  make  frequent  recon- 
noissanc;s  and  to  practice  topogi-aphical  survey- 
ing. They  have  been  tip  the  peninsula  as  far 
as  Big  B  )thcl,  and  have  brought  back  a  careful

POSITION  OF  TEE  OEIO  DEMOCRATS. 

IN  FAVOR  OF  tJJfWMITED  SWIKDLIJJ8,  AS 
THBT  ALWAYS  WERE— THE  NEW  KEGIS- 
TET  LAW  AJfD  THE  COLUMBOS  PLAT- 
FORM —  DESIOCKATIO  SHAMELESSNESS — 
MEN  WHO  OPENLY  DENOtWCE  QOOD  AND 
NECESSAET  LAWS. 

From  Our  Special  Corretpondent. 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  Friday,  Aug.  3, 1877. 
As  was  to  have  been  expected,  the  Demo- 
crats of  Ohio  are  not  satisfied  with  the  platform 
which  was-  adopted  by  their  political  opponents 
in  this  city  on  Wednesday  last  Headed  by 
that  distinguished  citizen,  Mr.  John  G.  Thomp- 
son, Sergeant-at-Arms  of  the  last  national 
House  of  Representatives,  and  Chairman 
of  their  Central  Committee,  they  declare  that 
the  Republicans  have  acted  with  cowardice  re- 
garding the  financial  question,  that  their  labor 
plank  is  a  piece  of  arrant  demagogism,  and 
that  their  indorsement  of  the  National  Admin- 
istration was  distasteful  to  more  than  one-half 
of  the  delegates  in  the  convention.  This  is 
about  the  sum  total  of  the  fault  which  Mr. 
Thompson  and  his  friends  have  up  to  this  time 
been  able  to  find  with  the  action  of  their  old 
enemies.  While  they  make  these  charges 
in  public,  however,  they  admit  privately 
that  the  Republican  platform  is,  all  things  con- 
sidered, an  exceedingly  strong  one ;  and  there 
is  no  doubt  that  in  the  end  they  will  abandon 
their  present  attitude,  cease  making  the  wild 
charges  referred  to,  ape  their  fellow-Democrats 
in  the  State  of  New- York,  and  flght  the  cam- 
paign upon  the  theory  that  President  Hayes 
was  fraudulently  inauguratod,and  that  the  Amer- 
ican people  cannot  afford  to  stand  idly  by  and  see 
"fraud  first  triumphant  in  American  politics." 
While  this  is  their  programme,  however,  while 
from  every  cross-road  stump  in  Ohio  they  are 
prating  about  political  corruption  and  tho 
purity  of  the  ballot,  they  have,  at  the  same 
time,  the  hardihood  to  indorse  the  following 
resolution,  which  was  adopted  in  their  plat- 
form at  the  Columbu.%  Convention  : 

''Seventh — The  R3pistr7  law,  framed  by  the  last 
Li^gislature,  is  bnrueosome  and  expensive,  and  dis. 
crimuiates  unjustly  against  the  poorer  class  of  vot- 
ers,  and  wo,  therefore,  demand  its  repeal." 

The  Democrats  of  the  country  have  never 
been  noted  for  a  desire  to  maintain  the  purity 
of  the  ballotrboi.  Where  they  could  not  suc- 
ceed fairly,  they  were  always  willing  to  purchase 
victory  by  dishonorable  means.  In  the  South, 
by  the  perpetration  of  cruelties  the  most  inhu- 
man and  outrages  without  a  name,  they  have 
..succeeded  only  too  well  in  overcoming  RepuV 
lican  majoritieii.  In  the  North,  they  have  won 
by  fraud  when  violence  was  of  no  avail. 
Privately,  in  both  the  North  and  the  South, 
the  disreputable  leaders  of  the  Democracy  have 
not  been  backward  in  boasting  of  the  elec- 
tioneering crimes  which  they  instigated  or  com- 
mitted. The  Democrats  of  Ohio  have  now 
gone  one  stop  further  than  their  brethren 
in  any  other  part  of  the  Union,  and  publicly,  in 
a  platform  upon  which  they  profess  their  wil- 
lingness to  stand  or  fall,  they  boldly 'demand 
the  repeal  of  a  law  which  was  advocated  by 
every  good  citizen  of  the  State,  and  which  was 
passed,  not  for  the  benefit  of  any  one  party,  but 
for  the  protection  of  every  honest  voter 
in  the  Commonwealth.  How  Iniquitous  is 
their  demand,  how  unparalleled  their 
audacity,  will  bo  better  understood  after. 
1  have  bri  -fly  explained  the  provisions 
of  tho  Registry  law  and  the  necessity  that  existed 
for  its  passage.  In  1875  notorious  frauds  were 
committed  at  the  Spring  election  in  the  City  of 
Cincinnati.  Ballot-boxes  were  stuiled  in  the 
interest  of  the  Democracy  -  as  unblushingly  as 
they  were  in  New- York  under  the  rule  of  Tweed. 
The  will  of  the  people  was  subverted  and  a  dis- 
reputable minority,  by  the  perpetration  of 
shameless  frauds,  established  itself  in  power. 
-igain,  at  the  last  October  election,  a 
gang  of  repeaters,  supposed,  with  good 
reason,  to  bo  in  the  pay  of  Samuol 
.1.  Tilden,  obeyed  to  the  letter  one  of  the  old- 
est traditions  of  the  Democratic  Party,  and 
voted  '* early  and  often'*  in  Cincinnati,  Cleve- 
land, and  all  the  other  large  cities  and  towns  in 
Ohio.  These  frauds  were  notoriou.s,  committed 
without  fear  of  the  law,  for  there  was  no 
State  law  in  existence  which  adequately  pro- 
vided for  their  punishment.  It  is  estimated 
that  in  ffimilton  County  alone  at  least  3,000 
fraudulent  votes  were  cast  by  the  gangs  of  or- 
ganized repeaters  referred  to.  I  am  assured,  in- 
deed, that  this  estimate  Is  an  exceedingly  low 
one.  ■  In  view  of  these  facts  the  Republican 
Legislature  at  its  last  session  passed  the  Regis- 
try law  for  tho  repeal  of  which  Democratic 
partisans  are  now  so  clamorous.  I  may  state 
further  that  the  law,  as  it  exists,  is  an  exceed- 
ingly jnst  and  Impartial  one,  and  discrimtnatet, 
against  no  class  of  the  people  and  against  no 
political  organization. 

In  its  first  section  the  act  defines  the  qnalifl- 
feations  of  voter.H  in  Ohio,  and  does  not  diifor 
materiaUy  from  srtatutes  on  the  same  subject 
which  have  preceded  it.  It  provides  that  the 
voter  must  have  been  a  resident  of  the 
State  for  one  year,  of  the  county 
360  days,  and  of  the  township,  village,  or  ward 
350  days  next  preceding  an  election.  If,  how- 
ever, a  bona  fide  resident  of  a  county,  who  hat', 
actually  been  an  inhabitant  of  that  county  30 
days  prior  to  an  election,  shall  appear  before  the 
Registers  of  the  precinct  in  which  he  expects  to 
vote,  and  shall  give  proof  of  having  lived  in 
the  State  tho  prescribed  time,  of  his  former 
residence,  and  of  his  recent  removal, 
he  shall  still  be  lentitled  to  vote.  Surely 
this  provision  ought  to  be  liberal  enough  even 
for  '*  Democratic  refomjers."  The  object  of  its 
enactment  is  obvious.  In  all  large  towns  and 
cities  there  is  a  considerable  floating  vote.  At 
every  election  hundreds  of  persons  appear  at 
the  voting  x>laces  and  claim  to  bo  qualified 
electors,  though  their  names  even  are  not 
known  to  the  designated  canvassers.  Usually 
they  appear  under  the  protection  of  some  influ- 
ential ward  politician,  and  simply  because  there 
is  nothing  known  about  them,  they  are  allowed 
to  pass  unchallenged  and  their  votes  are  re- 
corded. The  law  is  Intended  to  protect  tho 
rights  of  this  floating  population,  and  at  tho 
same  time  prevent  repeaters  from  obtaining 
privileges  to  which  only  honest  men  are  enti- 
tled. The  other  Important  sections  of  the  law 
against  which  the  Democrats  complain  so  bit* 
terly  are'  as  follows  : 

Section  2.  Trustees  of  townships,  and  the  council 
of  dties  and  \'illages  forming  one  or  more  precincts,

shall  contain  the  name  of  the  last  preceding  place  of

in  whicli  he  expects  to  vote,  and  tlio  place  of  his  resi- 
dence therein,  the  date  of  lus  removal  thereto,  his 
age,  and  whether  married  or  unmarried,  and  shall  be 
subscribed  by  such  person. 

Such  statements  shall  he  dated  and  numbered 
consecutively,  beginning  with  number  one  of  each 
year. 

And  the  Eegi'jters  shiiU  make,  over  thetr  own 
8  ^natures,  and  deliver  to  every  person  so  registered 
irtffore  them,  a  corresjpondintr  statement,  witii  a  like 
numlier  and  date,  which  sxivh  person  shall  present  to 
the  Judpes  of  Election  wh'i'n  lie  offers  to  vote.  No 
person  sliall  register  at  ai^-  other  time  or  place  than 
a£  above  designated. 

Section  6  provides  ponalties  for  the  riolatioii 
of  the  law,  and  section  7  requires  the  Registers 
to  make  out  an  alphabetical  list  of  all  persona 
registered  as  residing  in  their  voting  precinct. 
A  copy  of  the  list  is  to  be  given  to  the  Judges  of 
Election  before  the  im)11s  are  open,  and 
as  the  registered  voters  present  themselves  their 
names  shall  be  checked  off.  The  section  provides 
further  that  these  lists  shall  in  »U  cases  be 
preserved  for  future  reference.  This  is  the 
sum  and  substance  of  the  law.  Surely  it  is 
not  one  to  which  any  honest  citizen  desiring  to 
preserve  the  purity  of  the  ballot-box  should 
object.  It  cannct  be  denied  that  some  of  the 
minor  provisions  of  tho  enactment,  which  in- 
crease the  number  of  the  votingprecincts,  Judges, 
and  other  officers,  will  slightly  add  to  th©  ex- 
pense of  the  elections.  This  expeifse,  how- 
ever, win  not  be  burdensome,  and  it  falls 
equally  on  all  classes  and  all  parties.  Every 
man  who  desires  to  vote  is  required  to  register, 
and,  of  course,  no  well-me.ining  citizen  will  ob- 
ject to  doing  so.  What  the  Democratic  plat- 
form means,  then,  by  declaring  Uiat  the  law 
discriminates  unjustly  against  the  poor,  must 
forever  I  emain  a  mystery.  In  plain  words,  it 
can  onl}'  be  inferred  that  the  Democrats  of 
■Ohio  object  to  the  Recristry  law  because  they 
believe  it  will  preserve  the  purity  of  the  ballot 
and  secure  a  fair  election.  If  its  provisions  are 
strictly  enforced,  repeating  and  other  like 
frauds  will  be  almost  impossible.  The  occupa- 
tion of  some  of  the  most  prominent  politicians 
in  this  State  will  be  ;;ono.  If  the  truth  were 
known,  this  is  the  only  reason  why  the  sages  in 
the  Columbus  Convention  demanded  the  repeal 
of  the  law.  H.  C.

A    SIGNIFICANT    MOVEMENT   IN    BALTIMORE — 
WORKING  MEN  URGEI)  TO  FORM  A  POLITI- 
CAL   PARTY    OF    THEIR  OWN— THE    WILD 
SPEECH  OF  A   COMMUNIST  LEADER, 
Special  Dispatch  to  Vu  Xeie-  York  THmes. 

Baltimore.  Md.,  Aug.  6. — The  great  hall 
and  galleries  of  the  3Iaryland  Institute  were 
packed  this  evening  witli  6.000  people,  brought 
together  by  a  call  from  the  Working  M^n's 
Party  of  the  United  States.  The  cjaswl  was 
principally  made  up  of  laborers,  and  was  tumult- 
uous, but  good  humort'd  until  it  broke  out  in 
storms  of  execration  over  the  mention  of  the 
names  of  the  railroad  Presiiients.  The  throng 
cheered  to  the  echo  the  rnbidtalkof  the  speakers 
and  the  radical  features  of  the  platform. 
-The  orator  of  the  evening  was  a  young  Irish- 
man from  New- York  named  J.  P.  McDonnell, 
editor  of , the  Xa?wr  Standard,  whose  most  vio- 
lent utterances  were  loudest  applauded.  His 
declaration  that  tli§  strikers  had  been  driven  to 
burning  depots  and  destroying  railroad  prop- 
erty by  the  unendurable  tyranny  of  capital,  and 
that  they  might  have  been  better  off  now  if 
they  had  done  the  same  thing  before,  set  the 
audience  off  into  a  whirlwind  of  applause. 
Their  justification  for  the  de.struction  of  prop- 
erty, he  .said,  was  th.at  "riece.ssity  knows  no  law," 
and  the  men  did  it  in  their  hunger  anddespairto 
show  their  hatred  of  tyranny  and  prove  of 
what  they  are  capable.  The  mention  of  the 
names  of  Scott  and  (iarrett  was  greeted  with 
terrific  yells  and  shouts  ol"  •*  Hang  3iem."  The 
workiwg  men  were  ur^rod  to  act  together   in 

Solitics,  to  come  out  from  Republicans  and 
lemocrats,  both  of  whom  were  oppressing 
thc-m.  and  nominate  and  elect  their  own  men  to 
ofiice.  If  they  did  ihi-*  they  eould  overcome 
their  oppressors  and  i-nforce  a  new  regime.  As 
for  the  soldiers.  tin-  speaker  said  that, 
if  necessar}-,  the  working  men  could  or- 
f^nize  regiments  to  .-^weep  out  of  existence 
those  who  would  dare  lo  lire  upon  them.  The 
whole  tone  of  the  speech  was'fanatical  and  vio- 
lent. The  platform  thut  was  read  afterward  is 
that  of  the  Intecnatxonal  Sf>ciety,  with  some  at 
terations  to  meet  the  political  exigencies 
of  the  present.  Its  lf:iding  plank  is  tliat  all 
railroads  and  canals;,  t^lej^ruphs  and  labor  mar 
chinerj'  shail  be  common  property  of  the  peo- 
ple, to  be  operated  by  Ittbor-unions,  under  the 
protection  of  the  National  Government ;  that 
the  wages  system  sh;xll  be  abolished  and 
labor  have  an  equal  share  in  the  earn- 
ings of  capital,  untl  that  labor  bureaus 
shall  be  formed  by  St^tt<>  and  National  Govern 
ments.  A  call  was  math-  for  a  committee  of  five 
from  each  ward  to  meet  at  head-<iuarters  Mon- 
day next  and  prepare  for  the  entry  of  the  Work- 
ing Men's  Party  into  thu  local  political  field. 
The  movement  i.s  exciting  intense  interest  on 
account  of  the  enthusiasm  that  has  marked  its 
birth.  There  aro  thrte  or  four  sections  of  the 
Internationalists.  They  will  form  the  nucleuf 
of  the  new  party.  After  the  meeting  to- 
night nine-tenths  of  the  crowd  came  forward 
and  signed  their  names  as  members.  Presi- 
dent Gorman,  of  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio 
Canal  bad,  another  interview  with  Gov.  Carrol! 
to-day,  and  at  Mr.  Gorman's  reqoest-  the  Gov- 
ernor decided  to  postixtne  action  toward  break- 
ing the  canal  blockade  by  force.  •  Mr.  Gorman 
is  now  of  the  opinion  that  he  can  induce  the 
boatmen  to  .quietly  disperse  of  their  own  ac- 
cord ;  and  as  iL  is  desind  not  to  provoke  a  col- 
lision, except  in  tho  last  e.vtremity,  he  wants  Co 
try  the  effect  of  moral  suasion  a  few  days  more.

Utica,  N.  Y.,  Aui:.  0. — The  lai^jest  crowA 
ever  assembled  in  Cejitral  New- York,  gathered 
on  the  Oriskany  battle-field  t<Hday,  to  parti- 
cipate in  the  celebration  of  the  one  hundredth  an- 
niversary of  that  event.  The  estimates  of  thci 
number  of  people  vary  from  40,000  to  60,000.i 
They  came  by  carriages,  by  packets,  and  canalf 
boats,  and  by  special  trains  which  ran  back  anc| 
forth  on  the  Central  Railroad  every  few  minute:' 
from  Rome  and  Utica.  Tho  nearest  approach  U 
such  a  crowd  ever -seeii  in  this  vicinity  was  Ie, 
1844,  when  a  Polk  mass-meeting  was  held  oiii 
Orisk&ny  Battle-ground.  which  attracted 
20,000  people.  The  military  display  to-day 
was  magnificent.  The  procession  was  nearly 
two  miles  long,  reaching  from  the  Oriskany 
>'illag©  to  the  battle-ground.  It  was  admirably 
managed  by  Grand  Marshal  A.  J.  Wagner,  o£ 
Montgomery  County,  five  of  whose  ancestor* 
participated  in  the  battle.  The  military  dhsplay 
embraced  all  the  organizations  of  this  section^ 
including  Major-Oen.  D.  P.  Wood  and  staffs 
Sixth  Division  National  Guard,  Brig.-G«n. 
Dering  and  staff,  Twenty-first  Brigade,  all  tha 
separate  cavalry  and  infantry  companies,  and 
15  po^ts  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Repnblia 
as  veterans.  Twenty-four  bands  were  in  th«  ^ 
procession,  and  upon  arrival  at  the  ground* 
they  all  united  in  playing  *' America."  Tlie 
time  was  not  admirable,*  but  the  effect,  upoc 
the  whble,  was  magnificent.  The  President  ol 
the  day  was  ex-Gov.  Horatio  Seymotir,  who  d»< 
livered  the  following  address  of  welcome  from  \ 
a  grand  stand  overlooking  the  multitude,  and 
erected  up<m  th©  spot  where  the  wounded  Gen. 
Herkimer  .sat  upon  his  saadl,e  smoking  his  pipe 
and  directing  the  battle  : 

MR.  SEVMOVR'S  address. 
All  who  are  for  the  clory  of  our  country  :  aU  wl!i4 
love  to  study  the  history  of  the  events  which  hav^ 
shaped  our  cjvili7.ation,'  Government,  and  lawj  ;  all 
who  seek  to  lift  up  the  virtues  of  our  peoj^e  by  fill- 
ing their  minds  with  lofty  standards  of  patriotism,  will 
rejoice  that  we  meet  here  to^iay  on  this  battle-field  rd 
honor  the  couraice  and  devotion  diplayed  here  100 
years  ago.  The  sa^rred  duty  in  which  we  are  engage<i 
Soes  not  meivly  concern  the  meaiories  of  the  dead ;  it 
teaches  the  duties  and  elevates  the  character  of  th€ 
li\-in}r.  The  command  that  we  honor  our  fathers  i* 
not  only  a  Klorions  reqnirfment,  but  it  is  a  grava 
maxim  of  jurLipruiioure.  Those  who  think  and  spealc 
of  virtue  and  patriotism  sow  in  their  own  and  in  the 
minds  of  iithers  the  e«'^e<iB  of  virtue  and  patriotism. 
The  men  of  Mohawk  will  be  wi^er  and  better  for  this 
gathering  uTwn  the  spot  where  their  fathers  fouphtt 
and  sutTered  and  bled  to  uphold  the  cause  of  thia 
countrv.  The  preparation  for  this  «-elebratiou  of  ;h*» 
evfuts'of  the  day,  the  farts  woich-will  be  broogbt  l» 
light  and  the  duties  which  will  be  taught,  will,.  *- 
in  some  degree,  lell  upon  the  character  ofj 
e%er%'  man  iKiore  me.  They  will  do  more.  Theyi ' 
will  revive  tho  legends  of  the  past  in  everj'  household^ 
in  this  vallov.  They  will  give  tbem  currencj-  among 
all  classes,  and  weave  theni  into  the  woof  and  warp 
of  popular  knowledge.  Much  that  was  dying  ouo 
will  be  revivpd  and  stamped  upon  the  memories  of: 
the  coming  ironemtion.  This  celebration  makes  oup 
hills  and  streams  tea4d»ers.  of  virtue.  It  gives  new. 
interest  to  tlie  course  of  our  river  and  onr  valley,  for 
henctiforth  they  will  recall  t<»  our  minds  more  clearly 
the  events  of  the  past.  Kverj'  spot  noted  for  soma 
stirring  act  will  henreforth,  as  we  pas*  it  by, 
remind  us  of  the  deeds  of  onr  fathers.  Tha 
old  churciie*  and  homes,  built  when  Briiain  ruled 
our  countTj',  and  which  were  marred  by  war  whea 
the  VaUey*  was  desolated  by  torch  and  tohahawk, 
will  grow  more  sacred  in  our  eyes.  Tlieir.  time-wonj 
walls  will  teach  ns.  in  their  silent  way.  to  think 
of  suffering,  of  bloodshed,  of  ruthless  ravages 
more  dreadful  and  p  'k'ljgpd  tlian  were  en- 
dured elsewhere  during  the  Revolutionary  struj^ 
gle.  Wt*  are  this  day  bringing  oat  the  eventa 
of  our  conntrj'  in  their  true  light.  Uistoriant 
have  d<mv  mu*  h  and  well  in  makmg  the  records  oC 
the  past.  But  their  recital«  have  ntit  yet  become,  aaf 
they  -should  l>e,  a  part  of  the  general  intelligence  of 
our  people.  Views  are  distorted  by  local  prejudicfv»,t 
Events  are  not  seen  in  their  due  proportions  or  witlv  , 
proper  ptrsitectives.  This  is  mMuly  due  to  the  ue-' 
gleet  of  its  history  by  New- York.  There  is  a  dLmne^s 
in  the  popular  vision  abont  this  great,  centre,  Ronren,* 
and  tliefttre  oi  i-venta  which  have  .«dinped  the  civiliza-!  , 
tjoa,  usages,  and  Government  of  this  cuntinenu' 
This  is  not  onlv  a  wrong  to  our  State,; 
but  U»  our  Cnion.  It  has  left  tha 
annaLs  of  other  sections  disjointed  front  their  tru^ 
rfl«tionKhii»s  to  the  great  hody  of  our  tr^itionfw 
This  want  of  an  luideTStandina  of  the  ailairs  of  New-

the  course  of  the  Mohawk  now  enter  upon  our 
duty  of  making  its  biston-  as  familiar  as  house-; 
hold  words,  l^et  u-?  see  tfiat  the  graves  of  dead

great  events  were  enacted.  And  let  all  this  be  dou« 
in  a  way  that  shntl  stir  oar  hearts  and  educate  onri 
minds.  l»tt  it  not  be  done  by  virtue  of  an  act  of  thaJ 
Legislature,  but  by  virtue  of  onr  oivn  efforts  and^ 
patriotism.  Let  ub  not  look  elsewhere  for  aid  wh^^  . 
we  would,  honor  the  memories  of  those  who  hx^.'e 
served  their  countrv.  In  my  mind  this  would 
l.e  BR  unf.t  as  for  that  family  whoso  circle  has  been 
broken  by  death  to  let  strangers  rome  in  amd 
perform  the  last  sacred  office  to  their  departed  kin- 
dred. Let  our  colleges  teach  their  stadents  the  his- 
torv  of  the  juriHiinideuce  of  New- York,  and  it  will 
make  them  wiser  citizens  when  tiiey  enter  upon  the 
duties  of  life.  Let  our  more  youthful  scholars  V<»

and  let  tho  morfjerwith  glowins;  pride  tell  to  heT 
offspring  what  those  of  their  own  blood  and 
linoagedid  for  their  cotmtry's  welfare,  so  that  patri*  ._ 
otism  may  be  kindled  at  each  hearthstone.  Lot  thai- 
rich  man  give  of  his  abundance  and  the  poor  what  h» 
can,  with  a  willing  heart,  and  then  when  monumen'Ui 
shail  stand  on  thLs  field,  and  on  other  spots  conse- 
crated by  the  ashes  of  those  vrho  perished  for  their 
country,  such  monuments  will  not  ouly  show  thi-  J 
the  memories  of  the  dead  have  been  honored,  h  at 
that  the  lining  are  intelligent,  virtuous,  and  pa'jH- 
otic-  When  Europeans  first  came  to  our  sn«  j»^ 
they  found  the  region  .stretching  from'  the  AtU  atits 
to  the  Mississippi,  from  the  great  lakes  to  Uto 
present  State  of  North  Caztilina,  under  th« 
control  of  tho  IroquoU.  They  gained  fh»t| 
power  bv  the  possession  of  their  stronghold^  la  thii 
State.  Vrom  these  they  followed  the  divergiajr  vaU 
le>-s  which  gave  them  path^^•nys  into  the  coimtiT  ol 
their  enemies,  who  were  di'^ded  by  tha  cham  <4 
mountains  which  separated  the  rivers  after-  they  had 
tAken  their  t-.-urses  from  the  highlimds  of  New* 
York.  For  more  than  a  eenturv  a  consest  in-  armg 
and  (Ii'»Iomacy  was  carried  on  between  GrAt  Britairi 
anil  France  for  the  control  of  the  syston  of  tli» 
moimtaina  and  rivers  of  this  State  which  made  tha 
IrcKinoisthe  masters  of  all  the  adjacent  tribes.  AU 
hany,  at  the  confluence  of  fhe  ilohawk  and  Had* 
son.  became  the  colonial  capital  of  the  Britiiili 
(settlement.  It  was  the  point  from  which  dorinc  th« 
long  course  of  the  French  war  most  of  tfae  xnmtar^ 
expeditions  were  sent  forth.  It  was  the  place  at 
which  were  held  the  meetings  of  the  ^enta  of  tha 
several  Colonies,  and  at  which  they  learned  Xhe  vala« 
of  oo-operation  and  conceived  ttke  idea  of  a  nnioa 
of  the  Cfolonies.  Host  of  the  revolutionary  stmggla 
was  marked  by  the  same  efforts  of  the  contenSn^

THE  FLAG  OF  KZW-TORK, 
Immediately  afterward  Sirs.  Abraham  Lan- 
Mnp:.  of  AtbaBT,  who  is  ^and-dsugfater  of  CoL 
Peter  Ganaevoort,  who  commanded  at  Port 
Stanwix  dmitipr  th©  siege,  unfurled  the  flag  of 
tho  Third  Now-Tork  Regim^it,  which  was  sta- 
tioned at  the  fort.  The  flag  has  been  kept  in 
Uie  family  ever  ance,  and  is  of  heavy  blue  silk, 
wonderfujly  preaerred,  and  bears  the  original 
I'oat  of  arms  of  State  of  New- York.  Its  appear- 
ance was  the  occasion  of  tnmultnotis  applause 
by  the  people,  and  called  out  a  happy  response 
from  Oov.  Seymour.     He  said : 

It  is  a  source  of  pattiotic  pride  to  those  who  live  in 
tills  valley  that  tlie  jflag  of  our  country,  with  the 
t^i&rg  and  ^^tTrpe^  vfM  first  displayed  in  the  t&ce  of 
our  enemies  on  the  batjks  of  tne  Mohawk.  Hex«  it 
■woA  baptized  in  the~lalood  of  battle,  here  it  first 
wav^d  in  triumph  over  a  retreating  foe 
when  the  hen^ic  defenders  of  Fort  Stan- 
^•:ix  learned  in  that  remote  fortress  the  emblem 
hdoptefl  by  tlie  Continental  Congress  for  the  ntand- 
tLvds  To  be  borne  by  its  anoies,  they  hastened  to 
tnake  one  in  actrordance  with  the  mandate  and  to 
banjt  it  out  from  the  walla  of  their  fortress.  It  was 
rudely  mftde  of  such  matwrials  cut  from  the  clothing 
itf  the  <u>Idiers  as  were  fitted  to  show  its  colors  and 
its  dPSiKUs,  but  no  other  standard,  how- 
ever skilfully  wrouaht  upon  tilken  folds  could 
Mjual  in  interest  this  first  fitg  of  our  country, 
worked  oat  by  the  unskilled  hands  of  brave  men 
amid  the  strife  of  war,  and  under  the  fire  of  b^leag- 
urinj^foes.  It  was  to  rescue  it  from  ita  peril  that 
the  men  of  this  ralloy  left  their  homes  and  marched 
thronch  the  deep  forest  to  this  spot.  It  was  to  up- 
hold the  cause  Of  which  it  was  the  emblem  that  they 
battled  here.  Time  has  destroyed  that  standard. 
But  I  hold  in  my  hand  another  banner 
hardly  less  sacred  in  its  association  with 
our  history.  It  la  the  flag  of  our  State. 
which  was  borne  by  the  regiment  commanded  by 
Col.  Gansevoort,  not  only  here  at  the  beginning  o"f 
the  Revolutionary  War,  but  also  when  it  was  ended 
hy  the  surrender  of  the  British  Army  at  Yorlrtown. 
The  brave  soldier  who  carried  it  through  so  many 
contests  valued  It  beyond  all  other  earthly  posses- 
slons.  He  left  !t  as  a  precious  heirloom  to  his 
family.  They  have  kept  it  with  such  faithful  care 
that  again,  Rtt«t  a  cenf ory  has  rt^ed  away,  its  folds 
can  be  displayed  in  this  valley  to  another  generation, 
who  will  look  upon  Ir-  with  a  devotion  equal  to  that 
Celt  by  those  who  followed  it  on  the  battle-fields  of 
the  Berelation. 

LETTERS  or   BEGBET. 

The  Oreskany  celebration  was  so  much  an 
Impromptu  affiair,  and  preparations  for  it  were 
begun  at  so  late  a  day  that  comparatively  few  of 
those  who  were  invited  to  participate  in  the 
literary  exercises  were  able  to  be  present.  Let- 
ters of  regret  were  read  from  President  Hayes, 
Secretary  Evarts,  Gov.  Robinson,  William  C. 
Bryant,  Benson  J.  Lesslng.  Bayard  Taylor,  ex- 
Govs.  Morgan,  Dix,  Hoffman,  Fenton,  Clark, 
and  S.  S.  Cox,  F.  A.  Conkling,  Gov.  Rice,  Presi- 
dent Potter,  of  the  Union  College, 
George  Bancroft,  and  many  others 
of  like  celebritr.  Nevertheless  the  Literary 
exercises  were  of  a  high  order,  and  occupied- 
three  hours,  from  two  stands  erected  on  each 
hillside,  between  which  runs  the  Battle  Creek 
■whose  waters  were  reddeued  with  the  blood  of 
the  Tryon  County  >Iilitia,  At  one  of  the^ 
Etands  Jlajor  Stevens,  of  Kome,  presided,  and 
addresses  were  delivered  by  Hon.  Clarkson  N. 
t*otter.  whose  ancestors  were  Mohawk  Valley 
residents  ;  Rev.  E.  O.  Haven,  the  Chancellor  of 
tvracuse  t^niversity,  and  Hon.  Samuel  Earl,  of 
Kc-jkimer.  two  of  whosa  ancestors  were  in  Oris- 
kany  battle.  A  frraphic  poem  was  read  at  this 
Btaud.  v.Titten  for  the  occasion  by  Qen.  J. Watts. 
Dfc  Peyster,  of  New-York.  At  the  west  stand 
the  west  stand  the  addretises  were  delivered  by 
Lieut.-Gt>v. -William  Dorsheimer,  Congressman 
William  J.  Bacon.  3Iajor  Douglas  Campbell,  of 
Cherr\-  Valley,  whose  great-grandfather  was  a 
Colr.nel  in  the  Oriskany  battle,  and  by  Hon. 
Sllis  H.  Roberts,  whose  speech  contained  a  com- 
plete review  of  the  battle  and  its  influence  upon 
the  ramiMiign  of  1777.  He  said,  among  ouier 
things:

fnuiriit  nnd  won  :  he  had  trms  shattered  the  British 
alliance  with  the  Tni^ians.  and  had  trampled  ont  the 
Tory  embers  in  the  Mohawk  Valley;  he  hadgathered 
above  .\lhany  an  array  ftn^hed  with  victory  and 
grently  superior  to  Burcoyne's  forces  in  numbers, 
and  ii'was  well  led  and  adequate  to thetask before  it. 

Araon*r  the  spectators  were  more  than  a  thou- 
«ian<l  descendant**  of  actual  participants  in  the 
battle  of  Oriskany.  including  several  descend- 
ants of  the  Herkimer  family.  Many  of  them 
bore  the  swords  or  the  flint  locks  that  did  snch 
good  service  against  the  Indians  and  Tories  a 
hundred  years  ago.  The  remnant  of  the  Oneida 
Indians  was  also  present,  led  by  Sc^nano.  their 
chief.  This  was  the  only  tribe  of  the  Six  Na- 
tions which  sympathized  with  the  Patriots.  The 
vast  concourse  was  orderly  and  good  natured. 
and  the  celebration  is  accounted  a  success  in 
every  particular.

Mr.   J.  P 
Washington, 


Wheleas,  who  recentiy  -went  to 
bearing  the  Invitation  from  Gov.  Por- 
ter, the  City  Ooancil,  and  the  Hert^iaBte'  Exchange, 
for  President  Hares  to  extend  his  visit^  Louisville 
in  Septemb^  so  as  to  inclndd  Kashville.  retamed 
yeet^day.  Mr.  Wheless  spe^ES  weU  o^  the  eordial 
manner  In  w^ch  he  was  received  by  the  President. 
Accompualed  by  Postmaster-General  Key  he  visited 
the  ^VMte  House  Monday  afternoon,  and  had  a  very 
pleasant  talk!  ^th  the  President.  The  latter  seemed 
decided  against  continuing  his  tour  any  further  than 
Loaisville,  probably  from  not  having  given  the  matter 
soiBcient  consideration.  Mr.  Wheless  assured  him  of 
the  almost  unaulmoas  apnrttval  his  Southern  policy 
had  met  in  Ttennessoe.  and  on  the  cordial  welcome  he 
would  receive.  As  an  e\'idence  of  the  Reeling  South, 
Mr.  Wheless  stated  that  on  the  train  j  numbers  of 
his  friends,  acquainted  with  his  mission,  [had  come  to 
him  before  leaving  the  cars  and  wished  him  success. 
He  also  said  that  a  prominent  man  from^  an  extreme 
Soa^em  St&te  had  expressed  the  wish,  as  repre- 
senting his  people,  that  the  Presidential  tour  would 
be  extended  not  only  to  Nashville,  but  throughout 
the  entire  South.  These  statements  were  rvr^eived 
with  much  isatisfaction  by  the  President.  Finally 
Mr.  Wheless  said  he  would  not  press  hiiii  for  an  an- 
swer then,  btit,  as  the  Cabinet  wm  also  included  in 
the  invitatioii,  and  as  he  understood  from  Judge  Key 
it  would  ineet  the  next  morning,  he  wOuld  suggest 
that  the  question  be  submitted  to  that  body. 

On  the  following  morning,  Tuesday,  Mr.  Wheless 
drove  out  to  the  Soldiers'  Home,  the ;  President's 
Summer  residence,  and  had  quite  a  long  conversatiou 
with  him.  Mr.  Hayes  announced  that  he  had 
broached  thei  subject  to  the  Cabinet,  and  they  were 
unanimotisly  in  favor  of  accepting;  the  invitation. 
He  had,  therefore,  eoncluded  that  if  nothing  un- 
toward happened  he  should  visit  JjouisvUle,  and  from 
there  should  come  to  Nashville.  Mr.  |  Wheless  re- 
peated his  statements  regarding  the  good  feeling 
toward  the  President  in  the  Sonth,  and  Mr.  Hayes 
expressed  hiSiself  very  freely  as  to  hife  intentions. 
The  time  was  past  when  mere  indlvidttals  could  di- 
vide sections  of  the  country  which  should  be 
united;  th^  time  had  come  when  all  sec- 
tionalism should  be  done  awav  .with,  and  he 
had  firmly  set  himself  to  this  work.  The  good  citi- 
lens  of  the  countrj-  of  all  parties,  he  felt  sure,  would 
support  him  in  his  policv  of  reconciliation.  During 
the  conversation  the  President  said,  yith  eNidont 
satisfaction,  that  he  had  recently  received  from  Gen. 
N.  B.  Forrest  a  letter  heartily  approvlhg  his  policy 
toward  the  South.  ^He  also  said  that  isome  of  the 
members  of  the  Cabinet,  if  not  all,  would  accompany 
him,  and  thst  letters  formally  acceptiz^  the  invita- 
tion would  be  forwarded  this  week.  i  •" 

Mr,  Wheless  should  receive  the  thanksj  of  our  citl- 
lens  for  bringing  his  mission  to  so  satisJFactory  a  re- 
sult. Unless  soine  unforeseen  circumstance  of  great 
importance  intervenes.  Nashville  will  have  the 
pleaaure  of  receiving  the  President  as  befits  his  of- 
fice, and  it  is  to  Ml  hoped  the  visit  iriH  result  in 
much  good.  ! 

TOOMBS  Oy  THE  SVFFBA&E, 


HE    TELLS    WHY     THE     PEOPLE  OF    GEORGIA 
OUGHT  NOT  TO  BE  PERMITTED  TO  ELECT 
THEIR  I  JtTDOES. 
In  the  Copstltntiooal  Convention  of  Georgia 
on  the  3d  inst.,  Robert  Toombs  offered  ai  proposition 
that  the  Judges  of  the  Superior  Court  be  elected  by 
the  popular  Tote.    He  said  that  one  of  the  founda- 
tion stones  of  a  republican  form  of  government  is 
that  the  peopjle  are  sovereign ;  another  is,  that  in  a 
Republic  the  loflBcers  should  be  elected  by  the  people. 
But  who  are  the  people  T    Assuredly  noti  the  women 
and  children. j    The  people  are  the  voters  of  the  land, 
and  you  know  well  who   many   of  our  voters  are. 
Now,  every  roan  in  this  social  compact  which  wo  call 

fovemment  has  a  right  fo  the  rules  of  lEovemnient. 
ut  no  wisel  people  will  insist  upon  performing  all 
the  functions  of  p)V6mrr(ent  themselves.  I  have  a 
right  to  shoei  my  own  horse  if  I  choose,  but  had  I 
not  better  leave  the  job  to  some  one  w-hp  can  do  it 
better  than  I  can  \  Had  I  not  better  pii.*e 
It  to  some  workman  in  that  line  of  busi- 
ness? There  is  no  principle  in  any  I  government 
which  lets  the  people  perform  all  the  functions  of 
government.  To  adoot  such  a  principle  would  be 
the  first  st€p  downward,  and  there  would  be  no 
return.  If  the  oflBcers  of  the  State  of  Georgia  could 
be  elected  by  fair  and  intelligent  people  [the  measure 
proposed  wo  ild  be  all  right.  But  there  lis  among  us 
a  class  of  pfople  who  have  power  whicjh  we  (*annot 
take  away.  The  Federal  Government,  an  enemy  to 
my  State,  has  forced  upon  her  500,000  voters 
(citizens?)  neainst  her  will.  No  stronger  argument 
need  be  ma4[e  against  submitting  the,  election  of 
ilndges  to  tbe  people  than  that  made  by  the  gentle- 
men on  the  other  side  of  the  question  them- 
selves. They  yield  the-  point  by|  their  own 
admission.  They  <jtated  that  not  a  single  colored 
man  in  a  race  uOO.OtK*  strong  in  Georgia 
had  a  sest  upon  the  floor  of  this  Convention. 
They  said  this,  it  is  true,  to  show  that  the  new 
element  in  politics  was  not  a  source  of  much  danger 
in  this  State,  but  does  not  this  conclusively  prove 
their  inabilitj\"  to  vot«  intelligently  for  officers.  The 
gentlemen  are  not  willing  to  snlimit  the  election  of 
Judges  to  thi  people  of  each  jndiritU  circuit,  for  fear 
that  the  colnjrod  people  may  have  a  maioritv  in  Fome 
and  may  elect  their  own  candidates.  Tht^  sfiowa  thst 
they  are  notjeonaidered  fit  to  elect  their  own  officers. 
This  race  miist  be,  then,  governed  as  any  other  in- 
ferior race,  ^ith  reganl  to  race,  color,  and  previous 
condition.  They  must  be  governed  by  the  men  who 
have  the  brains,  the  wealth,  and  land.  Jn  behalf  of 
the  poor  African.  I  would  save  him  from  himself.  I 
would  not  Ipt  him  be  controlled  by  bad  ihen  and  used 
to  bad  purpose?'.  Tbore  are  some  things,  then,  that 
the  people  of  <.ieorgia  acknowledge  they  can  have 
done  as  welli  by  agents  a^  by  themselves.  If  all  tho 
pec^le  of  Georgia  are  fit  to  elect  Judges  kt  them  do 
it.  If  they  are  nOt  let  them  trust  it  to  thes«  gentle- 
men. There  are  many  people  wishing  a  "new 
deal,"  'perh^pfi,  and  perhaps  theroi!  are  some 
of  the  "  Onts  "'  now  talking.  jMr.  James 
Buchanan  '  thought  that  the  people  were 
sovereign,  but  he  insisted  that  the  right  of  suffrage 
was  delegat«jd.  and  that  the  Government  had  a  right 
to  place  restHctit>ns  upon  suffrage,  to  say  who  stiould 
vote  and  who  shoulu .  not,  what  officers  shrmld  be 
elected  by  the  people  and  what  ofHcers  shoutil  no:. 
He  asKerted  ithat  the  people  of  the  State  did  not  de- 
mand the  election  of  Judgt-s  as  a  riijht.  For  himself, 
he  preferreii  that  the  Judges  should  l)e  appointed  by 
the  Govemorr.  rather  even  than  tiiat  they  should  be 
elected  by  xhe  General  Assembly.  The  fewer  the 
persons  ehaiged  with  the  execution  of  a  power,  the 
better  the  wbrk  wonld  be  done.  In  large  oodles  the 
responsibility  is  very  small,  very  circumscribed,  very 
limited,  but  'where  one  person  has  to  bear  the  entire 
burden  and  shoulder  all  the  responsibility,  he  Inakos 
bis  best  efforts  to  perform  the  duty  well.  But  Jf  the 
Judges  are  jto  be  elected  by  either  the  General 
Assembly  or  the  people,  he  preferred  jtheir  election 
by  the  General  Assembly  as  the  less  of  two  evila. 

The  proposition  to  elect  the  Judges  by  the  popular 
vote  was  sull'scquently  defeated  by  j.26  to  50.

OP  THE  POEMEK. 
About  200  persons  assembled  on  the  TTnion 
Giotmds  yerterday  to  witness  tlie  gamej  between  the 
Chelaeft  Clcb  and  the  Hartford  of  Brooklyn.  The 
game  was  devoid  of  interest,  except  in!  the  third  in- 
ning, when  the  splendid  batting  of  the  Hartford 
playerseamed  fortheir  side  three  mnsontof  four 
scored.  This  gave  them  a  commanding  lead,  .which 
they  easily  retiuned  to  the  end,  winningjby  a  score  of 
14  to  2.  The  fielding  pf  the  Hartfoids  was  marked 
by'many  beautifnl  features,  especially  in  the  in-field, 
where  most  of  the  play  was  done  by  their  side.  On 
the  Chelsea  side  the  play  was  very  poor,  nearly  every 
player  in  th?  nine  being  credited  with  one  or  more 
errors.  Rule  and  Taylor  were  the  only  exceptions 
their  fieldinjg  being  marked  by,  steadiness  and  care.

GnjBOEVo,  Friday,  July  20,  1877. 
riiere  ^vas  certainly  no  fault  to  find  with 
ths  ventilation  of  my  sfcy-parlor,  whitA  had 
heeu  so  vaunted  by  mine  host,  but  its  denizens 
were  most  undesirable,  as  In  addition  to  the  or- 
diiiary  contingent  of  blocfc  beetles,  bugs,  flees, 
flis,  and  mosquitoes,  which  I  am  always 
preipared  to  encounter  in  the  East,  a  colony  of 
sparrows  had  elected  domicile  under  the  eaves, 
ai^d  against  the  twittering  of  that  sociable  but 
unpleasant  bird  no  somnolency  is  proof,  how- 
ever it  nu^y  be  supeiinduced  by  fatigue  and  ex- 
haustion. There  was  no  help  for  it ;  sleep  was 
impossible,  and  as  Soon  as  the  first  rays  of 
PlioebusUefnin'to  gUd  the  onion-topped  turrets 
of  the  Metropolitan,  and  the  roseate  hues  of 
daira  crept  up  along  the  eastern  horizon — these 
figures  are  hackneyed,  and  are  only  given  in  emu- 
lation  of  the  "frog-smelling  Danube"  of  the 
military  correspondent  of  a  great  London  con- 
temporary, but  the  stilts  are  too  high  and  have 
become  unmanageable — in  plain  English,  as  soon 
as  it  was  I  road  daylight  I  sallied  forth  on  a  voy- 
age of  discovery,  and  was  disappointed.  Giur- 
gevo  is  not  "merely  a  heap  of  ruins,"  as 
has  been  pretended,  and  has  not  been  much 
m(>re  demolished  than  it  was  during  the  early 
stages  of  the  bombardment,  when  I  went  down 
to  look  at  it  Indeed,  as  was  the  case  then,  all 
tho  houses  in  two  or  three  of  the  principal 
streets  between  the  square  and  the  river  have 
beon  considerably  knocked  about  and  are' de- 
serted, and  have  large  holes  in  their  roofs  or 
sides,  and  only~fragmenfary  window-panes,  but, 
in  not  a  few  instances,  particularly  in  the  upper 
part  of  the  town,  and  among  the  dwellings  of 
tho  poorer  classes,  I  am  inclined  to  believe  that 
the  dilapidations  have  been  the  work  of  the  pro- 
prietors themselves,  with  a  view  to  future 
claims  for  indemnity  for  damages,  as  in  all  my 
experience  I  have  n  *ver  seen  or  heard  of  a  pro- 
jectile which  could  pos-sihly  take  the  eccentric 
directions  indicated  by  these  shattered  walls  and 
shtjp-fronts.  I  got  through  this  part.of  my  in- 
spection in  half  an  hour,  and  then  turned  my 
steps  toward  the  Fire-tower,  which  stands  like  a 
solitary  pelican  in  the  centre  of  the  square,  and 
suggests  the  idea  that  it  was  one  of  a  lot  of  light- 
houses built  on  contract,  and  set  down  here 
while  the  maval  department  was  looking  for  a  fit 
si^e,  and  then  forgotten.  There  was  a  sleepy 
warrior  in  soiled  linen  and  bare  feet  on  duty, 
who  starejl  stupidly  at  me  as  though  to  say, 
")IVhatevkr  is  this  idiot  doing  out  of  his  bed  at 
suteh  an  hour,  when  he  is  not  forced  to  get  up 
by  the  Corporal  of  the  guard  i"  But  then  the 
wiirrior  was  a  native,  and  natives  do  not  mind 
infect''  of  any  kind,  but  indeed  have  a  popular 
belief  that  only  one  family  of  vampires  will  es- 
tablish itself  on  one  person,  and  if  undisturbed 
at  their  daily -meals  will  drive  away  all  foreign 
intruders,  but  if  molested  will  form  alliances 
too  terrible  to  describe,  so  that  the  last  state  of 
th » man  will  be  worse  than  the  first.  So,  like 
Mine.  Mail'brook,  who.  In  the  touching  ballad, 
m(mnts  the  platform  of  her  castle  to  watch  the 
CO  ming  of  her  victorious  liege  lord,  I  clambered 
np  the '■illLsmelling  winding  stair,  and  turned 
my  glasses  on  RJstchuk,  where  every  street  and 
nook  of  the  Turkish  to\s-n  seemed  revealed,  and 
fo  rts  and  mosfiues  nnd  minarets  stood  out  in 
bold  relief  in  the  flood  of  early  simshine,  just 
bright  enough  to  lighten  up  the  scene,  but  with- 
out that  intensity  which  at  midday  blurs  and 
cobfuses  everything  with  its  blinding 
glare.  Long  lines  of  white  tents  upon  the 
heights  behind  the  town,  detachments  of  sol- 
diers at  drill,  fatigue  parties  at  work  on  new 
inp^nchmonts,  itinerant  traders  peddling  their 
wires  among  the  soldiers,  men  and  women  down 
by  the  river's  bank  drawing  water  or  washing 
clothes,  all  these  could  I  see  through  tho  clear, 
pL.i*e  atmosphere  as  plainly  as  though  I  stood 
ameng  them.  The  East  is  matutinal,  and  grad- 
ually all  the  population  came  out  from  its  lair 
and  swarmed  about  the  streets,  and  up  the  hill- 
sides, a  straggling  mass  of  men.  women,  chil- 
dren, soldiers,  and  donkeys,  seemingly  oarfless 
or  forgetful  that  Islam's  deadliest  hereditary 
foe  lies  not  1,500  yards  away.  I  passed  if* 
hours  in  Ku.Htchuk  just  a  twelvemonth  ago,  and 
tliink  that  I  can  speak'  knowinely  about  the 
d^orae^l  city,  around  whose  walls  the  fatal  circle 
of  steel  and  fire  is  gradually  closing  in.  It  was 
a^troug  olace  then,  and  rec«nt  additions  have 
been  made  to  the  fortifications  which  have 
already  successfully  resisted  the  Russian  sieges 
of  former  campaigns,  so  that  there  is  good  rea- 
son to  suppose  that  the  fighting  here  now  will 
be  uncommonly  hot  and  strong.  The  town  is 
bnilt  at  the  mouth  of  the  little  Kiver  Lorn,  with 
a  jeitadel  standing  upon  an  eminence  overlook- 
iijg  the  Danube,  and  commanding  the  opposite 
bink. 

ISecn  from  afar  off,  where  the  filth  and  aqualorof 
its  ill-paved  streets  are  hidden  by  the  distance. 
itk  white-walled,  red-roofed  houses  and  glitter- 
i:Jg  minarets  nestling  in  the  midst  of  groves  and 
orchards  and  gardens,  give  to  it  a  certain  pictu- 
resque attractivenes-s  which  disappears  upon 
closer  inspection.  It  has  long  been  a  prosper- 
ous commercial  centre  as  the  northern  terminus 
oftlie  great  artery  of  traffic  between  tho  Dan- 
ube and  the  Euxino,  and  its  cosmopolitan  popu- 
lation of  Greeks,  Jews,  and  Bulgarians  used  to 
in)ake  a  good  thing  out  of  their  more  guileless 
Moslem  masters.  Bat  the  war  has  seriously 
iiiiterfered  with  the  occupations  of  its  38,000 
liiihabitants,  of  whom  nearly  one-half  has  de- 
'pkrted  northward  in  search  of  pastures  new.  or 
ihas  fled  for  safety  to  Varna,  so  that  the  capital 
!of  the  Danubian  Vilayet  has  now  only  a  purely 
iiiilitary  Importance,  which,  however,  cannot  be 
t«o  highly  estimated,  as  it  forma  the  upper  angle 
of  the  quadrilateral,  without  whose  fall  or  com- 
plete investment  Marshal  von  Moltke  maintains 
that  no  Russian  operation  in  the  interior  can  be 
conducted  with  security.  I  know  that  this  opin- 
ion is  at  variance  with  that  of  a  great  amateur 
strategist,  who  predicts  the  events  of  the  cam- 
paign in  a  London  paper  with  much  assurance 
and  infinite  sagacity,  but  as  the  Marshal  has 
ratsisted  in  person  at  two  or  three  battles  in  the 
course  of  Us  experience,  and  the  aforesaid  strate- 
gist has  never  even  seen  50,000  men  in  line,  I 
think  that  I  prefer  to  recommend  the  views  of 
the  Slcursbal. 

J  The  defenses  of  the  place  consist  of  two 
lines.  The  first  is  a  continuous  enceinte  of  11 
bastioned  forts,  constructed  on  the  sides  of  an 
iwegular  polygon  rvmning  down  to  the  Danube, 
where  there  is  a  succession  of  water  batteries. 
All  this  line  dates  from  the  last  century,  and 
hjas  all  the  inherent  defects  of  its  epoch,  when 
long-ranged  cannon  were  not  even  dreamed  of ; 
the  relief  is  low,  the  cuitains  short,  and  the 
ditches — ^revetted  both  on  scarp  and  counterscarp 
with  masonry,  although  much  wider,  in  some 
pllaccs  50  to  60  feet,  than  inmost  Turkish 
fprtiresses — very  shallow.  In  addition  to  these 
there  are  neither  casemates  nor  bomb-proof 
shelters,  and  the  "progress  of  the  siege  will 
pirobably  be  marked  with  the  usual  incident  of 
the  explosion  of  one  or  more  powder  magazines. 
Of  the  200  guns  which  compose  its  armanent, 
about  one-half,  old-fashionea  aifairs,  wiU  either 
burst  or  not  go  off  at  all,  but  there  are  three  or 
four  heavy  calibred  Krupps  or  Armstrongs  in 
pch  bastion  which  will  do  good  service.  Out- 
ide  of  the  enceitUe  is  a  second  line  of  29  de- 
nched  works,  constructed  somewhat  after  the 
.S-stem  proposed  by  Gen.  Hogniot  Eight  of 
these  are  regular  forts,  with  bastions  and 
ditches,  the  others  only  lunettes  or  redans,  in 
some  cases  mere  epaulements  to  cover  the  inter- 
yals  between  the  salients,  but  they  appear  to  be 
admirably  disposed  to  take  advantage  of  the 
ground,  and  the  approaches  ar«  well  defiled  and 
mutually  flank  each  other,  so  that  each  mtist  be 
the  objective  of  a  separate  attack.  Thirteen 
earthworks  of  different  shapes  and  siees  cover 
the  approaches  from  Shumla  and  Silistrla  on 
the  Und  side,  and  six  those  from  Silis- 
tjria  along  the  Daiiube,  while  seven  redoubts, 
among  which  is  the  formidable,  permanent 
fortification  of  the  Leverra  Tabia  crown  the 
ridge  of  hills  mnning  parallel  to  (the  river. 
This  is  the  key  of  the  whole  position ;  it  is 
stronger  than  was  the  f  amoua  Mount  Valerian, 
ikbeie  all  the  efforts  of  the  Oerman  siege  pna 
were  fridtleaily  dtreoted  during  the  Oege 
of  Faila,  and  so  Ions  u  it  holds  ont  Bnstchak 
ianoot  oe  oeea^ed  by  the  enemy,  even  should 
he  alienee  or  eapfnre  the  lower  works.;  Then

The  garrisoii  encamped  outside  of  the  town, 
and  beyond  the  range  of  the  enemy's  batteries 
on  tho  left  b<^iuk,  consists  of  40  battalions  of 
Infantry,  ]  nOipinally  800  strong,  but  in 
reality  not  lexceediin(;  600  each,  princi- 
pally Ked^s,  the  Nizam  or  regtilar  troops  being

itzers, 8ometin|es  two  different  sorts  in  the  same 
battery.  ToT^hese  must  be  added  l,2<)p  ar- 
tillerymen for  the  service  of  the  enceinte  and 
the  outwbrksjl  making  a  total  of  about  26(000 
men,  rather  jless  than  more,  under  the  com- 
mand of  the  Maschir  Esref  Pasha,  with  a  Ferik 
or  Lieutenant-General,  Tahlr  Pa.sha,  as  military 
goyemor  of  thje  fortress.  I  should  explain  here 
Qiat  this!  wotfd  muschir,  althongh  generally 
translatediasi^at^hal,  simply  means cotnmander- 
in-bhief  ot  aT^larmy,  and  is  not  a  permanent 
title,  but  like  that  of  Seraskier  or  Serkar-ul- 
Edrun,  genei*^li8simo,  only  indicates  an  office 
held  for  the  time  being.  That  Rustchuk  is 
capable  of  a  I  very  seriotis  resistance  even  the 
Russians  do  hot  affect  to  deny;  it  cannot  be 
taken  from  itsjlriver  front,  for  such  is  its  com- 
mand over  the!  left  bank,  that  a  very  few  hotirs' 
cannonade  will  suffice  to  silence  the  enemy's 
batteries  at  Stpbodja,  as  soon  as  the  Turks  elect 
to  direct  their  flre  in  that  direction,  instead  of 
against  the  wretched  open  town  of  Giurgevo ;  but 
eveiythingdependsuponthedeterminartionofits 
commander,  said  upon  the  courage  of  its  garrison. 
There  will  J  be  no  occasion  for  manosuvring, 
so  that  this  element  for  the  display  of  incapa- 
city will  be  avoided  ;  nothing  but  hard  fighting 
on  both  sidcsj  and  if  the  Oamanli  fight  as  well 
as  did  their  iellow-countrymen  at  Silistria,  in 
1854,  or  even  with  the  stubbornness  of  the  said- 
to-bo  demorEd|zed  garrison  of  Nikopolis  last 
Sunday;  a  good  many  brave  fellows  will  be  down 
among  the  dea^  men  before  the  crescent  will  oe 
lowered  and  a  [Te  Deum  simg  for  the  triumph  of 
the  imperial  larms.  As  with  Giurgevo,  so  it 
seems  to  bejHvith  Rustchuk,  the  damages 
caused  by  the  bombardment  have  been  ridicu- 
lously exaggerated,  and  a  most  careful  examina- 
tion, even  through  a  powerful  telescope  on  the 
watch-tower,  has  failed  to  reveal  to  me  "  the 
fearful  ravages  caused  by  these  ministers  of  de- 
stnictiohj"  (^  course,  some  of  the  hovels  near 
the  river  hav^  been  battered  down,  but,  most 
certainly,  thatj  tmsightly  building,  the  French 
Consulate,  still  stands  in  all  its  original  yellow ' ' 
ugliness,  and  as  the  British  institution  is  situ- 
ated directly  in  its  rear,  I  am  inclined  to  believe 
that  it,  too,  is  uninjured ;  even  that  horrible 
mansion,  the  Islacs  Kham  Hotel,  has  been  re- 
spected, and  fiis  all  these  points  were  directly 
within  range,  |  think  that  the  Muscovites  must 
be  acquitted  of  the  alleged  accusation  of  a  wan- 
ton destruction  of  private  property. 

_0n  my  retui^  from  the  Fire-tower,  tired  na- 
tdre  needed  a  restorer,  and  I  breakfasted,  if  so 
can  be  called  tjhe  fearful  mess  of  pot-herbs,  ran- 
cid mutton,  ahi  grease  which  was  placed  before 
nle.  But  theri  the  Grand  Hotel  of  St.  Peters- 
burg— this  designation  has  been  prefixed  since 
yesterday — wais  in  a  great  commotion ;  it 
jjossessed  a  live  lion — a  captive  lion,  I  shoidd 
say,  but  none|  tho  less  a  celebrity,  and,  at  any 
rate,  the  first  person  of  rank  who  bad  deigned 
to  honor  it  with  his  presence.  The  prisoner,  a 
captive  of  the  |  Russian  bow  and  spear,  is  on  his 
way  to  exile  and  relative  comfort  In  the  best 
room  of  the  hotel  was  Hassan  P.isha.  the  late 
oommander  of  Nikopolis,  and  so  I  sent  up  my 
card  and  interviewed  him,  and  found  an  old  »c- 

?n&intance.  -How  I  knew  him  was  in  this  wise  : 
was  at  Rustchuk,  on  my  way  to  Varna,  my 
luggage  had  been  weighed  and  leaded,  to  save 
trouble  at  the  Constantinople  Custom-house, 
and  I  was  about  getting  into  a  carriage,  when 
a  tall,  dark-complexioned,  soldierly-looking  man 
made  his  appearance,  followed  by  severu  ser- 
vants, some  carrying  a  valise  or  a  carpet-bag. 
the  others  nothing,  being  e\-idently  there  for 
the  sake  of  .grandeur.  Their  re.si>ectful  de- 
meanor and  the  obsequiousne.ss  of  the  station- 
raa-ster  showoij  that  he  must  he  a  mamamouschi 
of  the  first  class,  and  so  I  addressed  my  hitherto 
dearest  frieuJj  'Tewflk  Bey,  who  is  something  or

the  most  brasty  of  young  Mu.saulmans.  He  had 
been  brought!  lUp  iii  a  French  college,  had  ac- 
quired all  theijromiiKric  of  a  child  of  Belleville 
or  the  Fsubotirg  St  Antoine.  but  he  hated  for- 
eigners, alth<^jagh  he  affected  much  their  so- 
ciety, and  although,  dr  perhaps  because,  he  had 
espoused  a  yo^g  person  of  French  birth  and 
grlliette  persusision  from  the  classic  precincts  of 
th^  Latin  Quairter,  who  had  commenced  her 
married  life  hy  kicking  all  of  the  harem  out  of 
thehonse,  and  whocontinned  It  by  sitting  morally 
downupon  hetj'husband,  andby  generally  shock- 
ingMcslem  prejudices  on  .-uch  points  as  refusing 
to  wear  a  jftmliiiiLak.  and  receiving  gentlemen  visit- 
ors whenevei^  ^hey  chose  to  call  and  send  up  their 
cat;ds.  Poor  ilTewflk  did  not  and  I  suppose  does 
not,  dare  to  c^dl  his  soul  his  own  at  home, 
bdt  he  was,  as  i  a  rule,  uncommonly  bumptious 
when  from  liiider  his  ^"ife's  eye.  She  was  a 
very  plain  pei]son  this  Mrs.  Tewflk,  but  it  was 
ai^  ,{llustration  of  the  triumph  of  mind  over 
matter,  and  aUbough  he  not  unfreqoently  tried 
to  revolt,  hej  had  no  more  chance  with  the 
clever  Frenchwoman  than  a  baby.  But  Tewflk 
was  cowt^d  now  and  much  subdued  in  manner, 
and  not  until  the  great  man  had  taken  his  seat 
did  bo  confid^'to  me  that  his  name  was  Hassan, 
that  he  had  jbeen  a  Major  of  Engineers  until 
lately,  but  th^t  being  utterly  ignorant  of  his 
profession — i^Horan/  comnn'-  nne  caroe,  said  Tew- 
flk, although  tVhy  this  particular  flsh  is  always 
chpsen  sf  a  symbol  of  ignorance  I  could  never 
ascertain — he;  ^ad  been  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
General  of  Division  and  was  now  on  his  way  to 
Stamboul  to;}thank  the  Seraskier  for  his  a<i- 
viincement.  He  was  supposed  to  be  personally 
cojirageous,  .]b|Ut  he  would  never  win  a  battle, 
although  he  was  just  the  sort  of  a  person  to  get 
hipisetf  killed  rather  than  surrender.  I  had 
nOt  time  to  hear  more  about  my  traveling  com- 
panion for  the  engine  began  to  shriek,  and  as 
there  wa.s  qnly  one  flrstrclass  compartment  in 
thfe  train,  %  had  the  full  benefit  of 
hik  society, ill  which  I  must  admit  was 
not  gay  "eat  festive.  As  far  as  the 
Sh^imla  Statibn  he  never  opened  his  mouth, 
but  sat  coiled]  up  in  one  comer,  staring  vacantly 
oiit  of  the  window,  and  playing  with  the  beads 
of[  his  chaplelj^  We  talked  together  a  little  be- 
fore we  reached  Varna,  but  he  was  not  either 
edifyitig  or  expansive,  and  our  conversation, 
like  the  majority  of  Turkish  conversations, 
consisted  of  i  ^  series  of  monosyllabic  ejacula- 
tions at  longl  intervals,  which  confirmed  my 
friend  Tewflkfs  appreciation  of  his  intellectual 
ca.pacities.  When  next  X  heard  of  him  he  had 
just  lost  Nikojjolis,  but  he  had  not  fulfilled  the 
prediction  about  dying,  although,  to  do  him 
luietice,  he  had  dose  his  duty  according  to  his 
lights.  Of  coiirse,  I  saw  himf  and  fancied  an 
improvementl  perhaps  because  he  had  been 
chastised  by  jmisfortunes,  but  he  still  kept  on 
wOiTying  hiH  beads,  and  he  was  almost  as  taci- 
turn as  before,  although  he  did  warm  up  a  lit- 
tle— probably  |!  because  I  was  the  only  person 
pi|esent  who  bpuld  speak  his  native  tongue,  and 
he  knows  nOjOther — and  informed  me  that  he 
had  been  sacjijlflced  by  the  Porte,  that  he  had 
asked  for  bread  and  been  given  a  stone  in  the 
shape  of  worthless  Redifs,  of  whom  he  had

Individiiij}  Bulgaria  from  Bouiuelia,  the 
B^U^n  rangeli  separates  the  hill  country  from 
the  plain.  Bijdgaria,  with  the  exception  of  the 
m^irshybeltiilpngtbe  Danube,  and  a  few  sandy 
tracts  tipon  tae  sea-shore,  is  a  "  rolling  "  region, 
ini:  the  fertile  valleys  of  which  are  concentrated 
nearly  all  the  life  and  cultivation  of  the  province. 
BjnimeUa,  on  the  other  hand,  in  its  eastern  and 
more  importapt  section,  presents  the  appearance 
of 'a  spacious  ^d  well-watered  plain,  covered  in 
many  places  vrith  wild  grass  as  high  as  a  horse's 
girth— its  b«andaries  being  the  Balkan  on  the 
nqrth,  the  aeU  on  the  east  and  south,  and  on  the 
w^  the  range  of  Despoto-Planina  or  Dospad 
Vklasi,  eaUeitby  the  aucients  "  Rhodope :"

of  Slivno.  The  southern  or  main  ridge  rnns 
almost  due  east  to  Cape  Emineb,  on  the  Black 
Sea,  whence  'ii»  name  of  Emiheh-Dazh.  The 
central  imgA  called  by  the  iBnlgarians  "  Stara-

heights  ^aronnd  Shnmla,-  and  1to  rocky  ridges 
through  Which  ike  Pfavadl  floiTB  downward  to 
Vwna  and  the  Black  Sea.  "tOU  the  present 
year,  only  one  Russian  army  had  ever  passed 
this  great  natural  barrier,  viz.,  that  of  Count 
Dlebitseh,  in  1829,  who  thus  earned  his  title 
of  "  Za-BalkansU,"  j(beyond  the  Balkan.)  Sin- 
gularly enough,  the  passage  of  the  Balkan  was 
then  made  by  the  easternmost  of  tdl  the  passes 
— ^that  along  the  sea-shore  to  Sfisivri — ^whereas 
now  it  is  the  westernmost — that  between  6a- 
brova  and  Kasanlik,  popularly  known  as  the 
Schiplca  Pass— which  has  admitted  the  invader. 
But,  in  1829,  Servia  ami.  Bonmania  were  in  no 
eondition  to  co-opetate  with  the  Russian  forces, 
and  to  secure  their  rear,  as  at  present ;  and  the 
route  chosen,  as  bringing  the  army  within  reach 
of  the  assisting  fleet,  and  keeping  its  left  flank 
constantly  covered  by  the  sea,  was  probably  the 
best  that  conld  have  been  selected  under  the 
circumstances. 

The  six  routes  across  the  Balkan  which  are 
available  for  ih«  passage  of  an  invading  army, 
divide  themselves  naturally  into  two  groups, 
the  eastern  radiating  from  the  central  point  of 
Shumla,  the  western  from  that  of  'nmova. 
From  .Sistova  to  the  latter  place  the  distance  by 
road  is  only  75  to  80  miles ;  bat  the  highway  is 
in  wretched  condition,  everywhere  broken  into 
mts  and  holes,  and  like  all  the  other  lines  of 
commuiucation  in  this  district  religiotisly  left 
unrepaired — the  only  road-mending  witnessed  ■ 
by  this  generation  being  attributed  to  Midhat 
Pasha,  when,  as  Governor  of  the  "  Danube 
Vilayet,"  he  repaired  the  old  Roman  highway 
from  Pannonia  to  Byzantium.  At  the  village  of- 
Senovtzy  tho  Sistova  road  joins  an  equally  bad 
one  from  Rustchuk,  traversing  a  snccession  of 
terrace-like  plateaus,  one  above  another,  and 
passing  the  dangerous  defile  of  Biela,  on  the 
Jantra,  where  a  Russian  reconnoitring  force 
sustained  a  severe  check  some  weeks  ago.  Just 
beyond  this  point  it  crosses  the  river  by  one  of 
the  finest  bridges  in  Bulgaria,  and,  skirting  the 
left  bank,  traverses  the  Samavoden  ravine  and 
reaches  Timova. 

Timova,  or  Trenova,  thongh  fallen  from  the 
high  place  which  it  held  in  t^e  days  of  Bul- 
garian independence,  is  still  of  some  importance 
as  the  capital  of  a  Sandjakat  (district)  and  the 
meeting  point  of  so  many  lines  of  communica- 
tion. It  has  a  strong  po.sition  on  a  branch  of 
the  Jantra,  between  two  steep  pyramidal  hills, 
once  crowned  by  extensive  fortiflcatione.  On 
this  road  (which  it  completely  closed  to  an 
enemy)  stood  the  royal  fortress  of  the  Bulgarian 
Kings,  which  the  traveler  passes  on  his  way 
south  to  the  Balkan.  At  the  foot  of  the  range 
itself  he  crosses  the  Jantra  by  a  stone  bridge 
and  enters  the  town  of  Oabrova,  (Grahova, )  one 
of  the  most  noted  of  tiie  native  Bulgarian 
towns,  both  from  its  extensive  manufactures 
and  from  the  generons  assistance  given  hy  it  to 
the  establist^iaeBt  of  native  schools.  The 
ascent  from  Gabrova  to  the  summit 
of  the  ridge,  though  gradail,  is  very 
fatiguing,  the  passage  of  the  limestone 
rocks  in  which  the  road  is  cut  being  no  trifle  in 
Summer  ;  but  as  you  mount  higher  a  splendid 
oak  forest  throws  its  refreshing  shade  over  the 
road,  and  shelters  you  almost  to  the  summit. 
This  is  the  famous  '*  gchipka  Pass  "  throuarh 
Which  Prince  Mirski  entered  RoumeUa  a  few 
weeks  ago.  It  will  be  remembered  that  when 
Sultan  Abdul  Medjld  visited  Silistria  by  this 
route  in  1836,  a  road  30  miles  long  had  to  b  e 
made  ei^re.s.sly  for  him  !  but  the  road  is  no  w 
being  widened  by  the  Russians,  and  rendered 
practicable  for-  artillery.  The  height  of  the 
pass,  at  its  summit,  is  4,o00  feet,  and  for  the  first 
three  miles  of  the  descent,  as  far  as  the  village 
of  Schipka,  rivals  in  steepness  any  "  cliff  path  " 
in  the  Alps — commanding,  however,  a  glorious 
view  of  the  wide  green  valley  below,  in  which, 
half  hidden  by  the  countless  gardens  whence 
the  famous  "  otto  of  roses"  is  supplied,  lies  the 
charming  little  town  of  Kasanlik,  justly  praised 
by  Col.  Baker  as  one  of  the  loveliest  spots  in 
THirkey.  The  general  effect  is  very  much  that 
of  the  first  view  of  Caracas  from  the  crown  of 
the  Silla  Ridge,  though  the  Turkish  valley  un- 
questionably surpasses  the  Venezuelan  in  luxu- 
riance of  vegetation. 

Next  on  the  list  comes  the  Tivarititzka  Pass, 
named  after  a  village  on  the  southern  slope, 
near  which  Gen.  Gourkho  crossed  the  chain  to 
fall  on  the  rear  of  the  Turks  guarding  the 
Schipka  Pass  against  Prince  Mirski,  though  he 
appears  to  have  made  use  of  the  mountain  path 
to  Hainkoi.  pointed  out  by  his  Bulgarian  guides, 
rather  than  the  actual  "  'Tivarititzka  Pass-''  The 
latter  is  reached  from  Timova  by  a  road  through 
the  vaUey  of  tho  Slatear  (Saltar)  to  the  old  Bul- 
garian town  of  Helena,  (Jelena  or  Hena,)  and 
thence  by  a  path  over  the  mountains,  debouch- 
ing into  the  Tundja  (Ttindscha)  VaUey,  30  or  40 
mues  east  of  Kasanlik. 

A  little  beyond  Tivarititzka  commences  the 
branching  off  from  the  main  Balkan  range  of 
tho  three  mountain  ridges  already  mentioned  ; 
and  through  these  run  the  various  lines  of  the 
**  Shumla  group."  Shumla  is  to  Eastern  what 
Tirnova  is  to  Western  Bulgaria,  or  Adrianople 
to  Eastern  RoumeUa.  the  centre  from  which 
radiate  all  the  local  highroads.  On  this  ac-.. 
count  it  is  always  the  objective  point  of  an 
army  invading  Bulgaria  by  the  eastern  route, 
and  the  strength  of  its  position  has  more  than 
once  seriously  impeded  the  Russian  advance. 
The  basin  in  which  It  lies  is  only  penetrable  on 
two  sides,  the  other  two  being  defended  by  Im- 

Sassable  precipices,  split  in  every  direction  by 
eep  narrow  gullies.  The  surrounding  hills  are 
crowned  by  numerous  defensive  works,  recently 
repaired  and  enlarged  under  the  direction  of 
two  Prussian  officers  in  the  Turkish  service, 
Capts.  Blum  and  Strecker,  now  called  Besohid 
Pasha  and  Blum  Pasha.  It  is  calculated  that 
60,000  men  might  encamp  commodiously  with- 
in the  circle  of  defense  ;  and  the  impracticable 
nature  of  the  surrounding  country,  cut  up  by 
innumerable  ravines,  woiud  render  an  assault 
or  a  blockade  equally  difficult. 

In  the  hollow  between  the  Kntchuk  and  Stara- 
Planina  branches  of  the  Balkan,  surrounded  on 
every  side  by  the  steep  hills  in  which  rises  the 
Lesser  Kamtchik,  lies  the  little  town  of  Kasan, 
called  by  the  Bulgarians  "  Kotel,"  (Kettle,)  from 
the  peculiar  shape  of  the  gorge  inclosing  it 
Through  this  gOrge  passes  the  road  from  Osman- 
Bazar,  crossing  on  its  way  the  Blnar-Dagh  and 
Eutchuk  ranges,  which  are  still  crowned 
by  forts  built  generations  ago,  and  sore- 
ly in  need  of  the  repairs  which  they 
never  get  Beyond  Kasan  lies  the  fa- 
mous pass  of  Demir-Kapu,  (Iron  Gate,)  a  nar- 
row and  gloomy  defile,  which,  as  a  recent 
traveler  justly  says,  "a  handful  of  resolute 
men  could  hold  against  an  army ;"  but  however 
impregnable  in  front,  it  may  be  easily  turned 
by  a  detachment  of  light  infantry  following  the 
path  on  the  right  The  tn-o  roads  which  branch 
off,  a  little  further  along,  to  Slivno  (Selimno) 
and  Kamabad,  are  eminently  defensible,  travers- 
ing deep  gullies  and  crossing  numerous  streams 
which  flow  into  the  Tundja.  These  swell  into 
furious  torrents  after  a  few  hours'  rain,  and  anv 
army  attempting  to  cross  them  must  carry  vrith 
it  an  ample  supply  of  all  requisites  for  bridge- 
buUding,  none  whatever  being  obtainable  on 
the  road.  The  chain  may  be  crossed  from  Kasan 
by  another  route,  mnning  south-eastward 
through  the  narrow  defile  of  Kotlenski-Buaa, 
and  entering  the  town  of  Karnabad  from  the 
west 

The  Dobrot  Pass  is  the  most  direct  approach 
from  Shumla,  bat  can  only  be  reached  by  taking 
or  masking  that  fortress,  which  completely  com- 
mands the  road  leading  to  it  The  line  of  march 
crosses  the  Kamtchik  near  Eski-Stomboul,  the 
river  being  shallow,  and  otUy  70  feet  broad  at 
that  point,  with  a  stony  bottom,  well  suited  for 
a  trestle  bridge.  Passing  over  the  Stara- 
Planina  at  a  height  of  900  feet  it  crosses  the 
Lesser  Kamtchik  near  the  town  of  Tchalikawak, 
a  kind  of  duplicate  of  Kasan,  but  with  good 
camping  ground  and  pasture,  and  weU  supplied 
with  both  wood  and  water.  Thence  to  Dobrot, 
a  succession  of  perilous  gorges  and  barely  ford- 
able  streams,  only  one  of  which  has  even  a 
plank  bridge  over  it,  confront  the  invader.  The 
pass  itself  is  2,000  feet  high,  and  even  when 
Kamabad  is  reached,  the  "  Buyuk-Derbend," 
one  of  the  most  formidable  defiles  in  Turkey, 
lies  between  it  and  Adrianople,  while  along  the 
whole  of  this  part  of  the  route  there  is  abso- 
lutely no  forage  whatever. 

The  road  leading  toAidos  over  the  Nsdir- 
Derbend  Pass  starts  fromPravadl,  on  the  Var- 
na Railway,  lying  in  a  narrow,  tunnel-like  cleft, 
600  feet  deep,  Omragh  which  the  River  Pra- 
vadi  flows.  The  first  part  of  the  line  of  march, 
(which,  however,  may  be  varied  by  taking  the 
other  road  tiirough  Jenikoi, )  is  the  most  dimcult 
of  all  the  eastern  routes,  etossing  the  same 
stream  40  times  in  the  DeUdahi  v  aUer,  and 
traversine  a  defile  barely  60  yards  wide.  It 
was  by  ffils  nad  that  the  Bossian  General  Bn-

back  upon  Adrianople,  the  surrender  of  which 
soon  after  terminated  the  ^ar. 

The  four  towns  of  SUvno,  Kamabad,  -Aidos,

along  the  road  traversing  the  southern  slope  of

for  fhis  part  of  the  range,  tjiough  the  shifting 
of  the  seat  of  war  to  the  west  has  for  the  pres- 
ent left  the  two  latter  almost  beyond  the  ovole 
of  operations.  SUvno,  formerly  an  independent 
"  Voynlk"  village,  is  the  lar;^  and  most  im- 
portant of  the  four,  eontainim;  a  mixednopula- 
tion  (chiefiy  Bulgarians)  of  20,000  to  25,000. 
But  the  key  of  the  district,  the  present  objective 
point  of  the  Russian  forces,  is  Adrianople  itself. 
This  city,  the  capital  of  the  district  of  that  naine 
forming  the  north-east  section  of  Roumella,  wag 
formerly  a  place  of  considerable  strength, 
though  its  defenses,  Uke  those  of  nearly  every 
fortress  in  Turkey,  have  been  suffered  to  fall  to 
decay;  and  when  the  Russians  began  their 
inarch  across  the  iBalkan  it  had  not  a  single  gun 
fit  for  use.  Whether  the  "  100  pieces  of  can- 
non" hastily  ordered  thither  from  Constantino- 
ple will  arrive  in  time  to  be  of  any  service  re- 
mains to  be  seen. 

The  western  oart  of  the  Balkan  ehaln  averages 
5,000  feet  in  height,  some  of  the  peaks  being 
covered  with  snow  tiU  the  end  of  June. 
Further  east,  the  mean  hei^t  is  only  3,500 
feet,  and  the  huge  terraced  dills  of  the  lower 
slopes  are  rounded  off  by  thickly-wooded  bluffs. 
The  southern  slope  is  steeper  than  the  north- 
em,  and  has  fewer  spurs :  but  both  are  equally 
woody  and  equally  bare  of  population.  In 
Winter  the  roads  are  absolutely  impassable, 
and  in  Summer  tho  want  of  water  and  the 
parching  up  of  aU  herbage  by  the  .excessive 
heat  are  severely  felt  hiothing  can  be  more 
picturesque  than  the  effect  of  the  great  masses 
of  rock  towering  several  hundred  feet  above 
the  dark  forests  aroimd,  and  at  times  taking 
the  shape  of  parapets,  towers,  or.gateways ;  but 
the  almost  total  absence  of  bridges,  uie  de- 
plorable state  of  the  roads,  which  a  single 
shower  suffices  to  render  impracticable,  and  the 
incredible  fllthiness  of  the  mountain  hamlets 
are  very  considerable  drawbacks. 

Our  survey  has  made  no  mention  of  the  To- 
polnitza  Pass,  in  the  Western  Balkan,  near 
Etropol,  which  has  more  than  once  plsved  an 
important  part  in  the  wars  of  inediseval  Europe. 
When  Vlamslav,  tTJTig  of  Poland  and  Hungary, 
invaded  Turkey  in  1443,  proclaiming  himself, 
like-the  Czar  to-day,  "tJie  champion  of  Eastern 
Christianity,"  he  reached  and  took  Sophia,  but 
failed  In  his  attempt  to  penetrate  through  "  Tra- 
jan's Gate."  The  Bulgarian  mountaineers, 
however,  guided  him  bv  way  of  Slatitza  into  the 
Topolniu.a  detile  on  Christmas  Eve.  and  the 
Turks,  thus  taken  in  tte  rear,  were  routed  with 
great  slaughter  on  the  following  day.  But  its 
distance  from  the  scene  of  action  is  too  great  to 
admit  of  its  figuring  in  the  present  struggle  for 
the  possession  of  Adrianople ;  and.  except  in  the 
event  of  an  advance  upon  Sophia  by  way  of  the 
Timok  VaUey,  its  share  in  the  war  wUl  probably 
be  but  smalL

The  geaer^  direction  of  the  road  after  leaving  Tir- 
nova is  somewhat  to  the  westward  of  sonth  until  it 
teaches  Grabova,  some  35  miles  distant  from  the 
former  place.  At  Gabrova  the^road  crosses  the 
Jantra  by  a  stone  bridge,  and  thence,  mnning  almost 
due  south,  ascends  toward  the  paas  ol  Scbipka.  This 
latter  is  described  by  Von  Moltke  as  being  formed  by 
two  deep  valleys  in  which  the  Jantra  and  the  Schipka 
take  their  rise,  with  a  high  and  very  narrow  ridge 
between  them.  A  very  steep  descent  then  leads  to 
the  Tillage  of  Schipka,  from  which  the  pass  takes 
its  name.  This  latter  villi^  was  entered  by  Gen. 
Oourkho,  with  the  troops  which  had  crossed  the  Bal- 
kans by  the  Hainkoi  track,  two  days  l>efore  the  as- 
sanlt  was  made  upon  the  Schipka    Pass-      Conse- 

Sncntly,  when^he  attack  was  made  on  the  19th,  the 
efenders  of  W^  psss  were  taken  both  in  front  and 
in  rear  ;  in  front  by  the  Orloff  Regiment  and  artil- 
lery advancing  from  Gabrova,  in  rear  by  Gen. 
Gourkho'a  force  operating  from  Schipka.  Formidable 
works  had  been  constnicted  to  resist  the  attack  from 
the  north :  and  these,  apparently,  enabled  the  Turks 
to  withstand  the  first  onslaught  made  on  the  17th, 
when  the'Orlaovas  Regiment,  attacking  from  Ga- 
brova, lost  seven  offtcers  and  more  than  200  men  ; 
bnt  the  r«ir  of  the  defenders  being  unprotected, 
they  were  obliged  to  evacuate  their  jwaltion  as  soon 
as  the  advance  from  the  village  of  tschipka  was  de- 
veloped." ^ 

CASDjyAL  AJiTONELLrS  DAUGBIER. 
In  discussing  the  AntoneUi  scanda],  the  Rome 
correspondent  of  the  London  Standard  says  :  "  It 
would  be  a  vain,  and,  mdeed,  one  may  say,  a  hypo- 
critical assumption  to  pretend  that  a  man  in  the  po- 
sition of  the  late  Cardinal  AntoneUi  is  bound  in  con- 
science, or  even  by  the  code  of  social  proprieties,  to 
subnait  T^'TniAlf  to  the  same  moral  rale  as  should  be 
imperative  on  a  person  '  in  holy  ordera.'  We  iProt- 
estants  are  not  wont  to  consider  that  there 
is  any  great  difference  as  regards  such  mat- 
ters between  a  '  deacon '  and  a  priest  But 
the  difference  Ls  a  very  wide  one  to  the  Roman 
Catholic  mind,  if  only  by  reason  of  the  indelibility  of 
the  latter  character,  and  the  possibility,  on  the  other 
hand,  of  anyone  retiringfrom  the  ecclesiastical  career 
who  has  pursued  it  no  further  than  to  become  a 
'  deacon.'  Cardinal  AntoneUi  was  in  this  position. 
He  was  only  a  deacon,  and  it  should  be  understood 
that  the  fact  of  Ms  being  a  Cardinal  in  no  wise  made 
him  any  nearer  to  the  priestly  otHce  tlian  if  he  had 
held  no'snch  rank.  During  the  palmy  daj-s  of  the 
Papal  royalty  it  was  very  frequently  found  desirable 
to  make  Cardinals  of  men  who  neither  had,  or  pro- 
fessed to  have,  or  were  suTOOsed  by  anybody  to  have, 
any  vocation  for  the  sacerdotal  office.  And  such  men 
remained  deacons.  And  very  thin,  indeed,  was  the 
veil  which.  50  years  ago,  anybody,  from  the  occupant 
of  St  Peter's  seat  downward,  pretended  to  see  be- 
tween the  proprietlefi  of  a  Cardinal  Deacon's  life,  and 
the  thinffs  whkh  a  by  no  means  strait -laced  society 
permitted,  with  more  or  less  of  whispered  fy,  fy, 
to  the  ordained  members  of  its  aristocracy. 
And  clerical  Rome  is  pretending:  to  be  very  much 
shocked,  while  non-clencal  Rome  is  chuckling  and 
rubbing  ite  hands,  while  pretending  to  think  that 
their  adversaries,  who  hall  from  the  Vatican,  have 
great  reason,  indeed,  to  be  dismayed.  There  is.  I 
take  it,  no  reason  at  all  to  doubt  that  the  late  Cardi- 
nal -AntoneUi  left  a  dauehter  by  a  lady  who  subse- 
ritly  became  the  Countess  Marconi,  and  who  has 
e  died." 

TBE  FBiyCETOy  EXPLORERS. 
The  Trenton  Gaeeite  says  that  one  of  the 
Princeton  CoUege  6tudents,^who  started  on  an  ex- 
ploring tour  throagh  Colorado,  writes  home  to  an- 
nounce the  arrival  of  the  party  at  South  Park  on 
the  13th  of  July.  Ijeaving  Princeton  on  the  21st  of 
June,  the  party  went  by  raU  directly  to  Denver. 
"Weaet  out  from  Denver."  says  the  writer,  "on 
horse.  With  male  wagons  aocompanyins  to  carry  pro- 
visions, blankets,  &c,  and  proceeded  along  the  road 
to  Colorado  Springs.  We  found  good  water  and 
grass  for  our  wnimalK  along  the  Platte.  Sunday, 
July  1,  we  spent  at  the  ranch  of  Dr.  LeveiBon.  At 
the  •  Garden  of  the  Gods '  we  made  onr  camp  per- 
manent for  nearly  a  week,  and  found  it  a  capital 
centre  from  which  to  proceed  in  quest  of  specimens. 
We  found  the  rocks  directly  In  front  of  the  '  gate' 
abundantly  flUed  with  fossil  shells  belonging  probably 
to  the  cretaceous  order.  Of  these  we  se<mred  many 
valuable  specimens.  Directly  south  of  this  locaUty  is 
'Cement  Gulch,' where  we  also  found  manysbeUs 
similar  to  those  at  the  gate.  We  also  found  an  im- 
mehse  number  of  teeth  of  fishes  and  reptiles.  Por- 
tious  of  the  daws  of  crustaceans  were  also  secured. 
Some  very  interesting  and  important  evidence  relat- 
ing to  the  early  existence  of  man  has  been  secui^ 
which  in  due  time  will  be  made  public.  Leaving  the 
'Gardenof  theGods,' we  set  out,  through  Ute  Pass, 
for  South  Park,  stopping  on  the  way  at  Johnson's 
ranch,  and  after  another  day's  maroi,  at  the  ranch 
of  Judse  CaateUo  we  were  successful  in  getting  very 
valuable  specimens  of  fossil  plants,  fishes,  insecta. 
and  shells,  ail  of  which  have  peculiar  stories  to  teU  of 
the  vast  changes  that  have  occurred  in  the  disposition 
of  land  and  water,  climate,  &c"

THE  WISC02fSiy  GREENBACKERS, 
The  Stlilwftokee  Wuconsin  asks:  ''Do  the

to  be  BepuUicans,  appreciate  the  danger  in  which 
they  pla^  the  Republican  Party  of  Ihe  State  f  Tho

who  seriously  thinks  for  a  moment  that  there  is  any 
chance  of  sueoeaa  for  a  pronounced  soft-money  tickert. 
This  fact  b«ing  admitted,  is  it  not  patent  to  all  Re- 
publicans who  have  the  real  interests  of  the  State  at 
heart  that  their  support  of  the  ^neral  principles

In  this  Stete  is  liable  upon  the  first  campaign  after  a

CCBTOM-HOXrSg  lySPECTOBS,  i     - 

A  good  znany  v«ry  latge  stories  abont'fha^ 
overloading  of  excursion  steam-boats  hare,  dn 
the  Summer,  found  their  w»y  into  print,  and  theji 
suit  has  been  that  Supervising  Inspector  Strstton,  i 
of  Ihe  bispector's  ofiBee,  has  been  lod  to  make  appU-, 
cation  to  the  CoUector  for  Inspectors  to  watA  ^et 
excursion  steam-boats  and  ascertain  whether  ^e. 
crowding  is  really  carried  to  the  degree  leporrtWLj 
The  application  for  Inspectors  was  made  under  th* 
law  governing  the  steam-boat  inspection  servioe,  on* 
section  of  which  says  that  the  laws  presented  far  thai 
Inspectors  shall  be  enforced  by  the  Collector  orotfaen 
chief  officers  of  the  Customs,  under  a  penalty  fox^^ 
failure  of  $100  for  ea<A  offense.  Deputy  Survwor- 
Benedict,  in  compliance  with  the  request  of  Mi\.i 
Stratton,  on  Sunday  had  a  force  of  men  stationed  oai 
board  the  different  eirorsion  boats  leaving  this  City. 
The  day  was  an  unusually  favorable  one,  and  the 
number  of  travelers  was  apparently  enormous.  Th» 
Inspectors  assigned  .to  count  the  passengers  hava 
not  formally  reported,  but  they  generally  state 
that  the  overcrowding  reports  have  be^-n  ex^eer- 
ated.  While  many  of  the  steamboats  running  tun- 
day  appeared  to  be  densely  crowded,  the  fact  was 
that  not  one  of  them,  carried  more  than  the  number 
allowed  by  law,  and  most  of  them  carried  very  much 
less  than  the  legitimate  number.  Hr.  Stratum 
says  that  the  steam-bbat  men  are  careless 
about  overstating  the  amount  of  businesa  donci 
by  them,  but  very  careful  not  to  ovecatep 
the  steam-boat  laws,  and  that  a  disposition  is  msini- 
fested  among  them  to  comply  with  the  Government 
regulations  In  every  particular.  Careless  observera 
of  tlie  crowds  on  steam-boats  are  easUy  led  to  believt 
that  the  boats  are  overcrowded,  when  the  edges  ap> 
pear  thronged  and  "black,"  but  that  frequent^ 
when  all  the  indications  are  that  a  boat  is  overloaded 
it  really  contains  less  than  the  number  of  j 
flowed  by  its  certificate.

TBOVELE  IX  A  WATCH  FACTORY.  \ 
The  employes  of  a  watch  factory  mt  "WIbsi 
End,  N.  J.,  held  a  torchlight  procession  last  evening 
because  of  a  <diange  made  in  the  management  oC  the 
institutiou.  The  business  was  formerly  done  by  the 
firm  of  Giles,  Wales  &  Co.  Some  time  ago  Hesitea. 
Elias  Brothers,  a  jewelry  firm  doing  business  in  5ew< 
York,  took  a  l«»e  of  the  premises.  They  allowed 
Mr-  Giles,  senior  member  of  the  old  firm,  to  euperin- 
tend  the  business,  but  the  management  was  so 
faulty  that  the  men,  unable  to  get  fiieir  pay,  h«ve 
been  for  months  on  the  verge  of  starvation.  Satur- 
day evening  the  New-York  firm  concluded  to  ot«t 
ilr.  Giles  from  the  management  of  the  concern,  but 
he  claimed  to  o'wn  part  of  the  machinery  in  the 
building,  and  declined  to  be  ousted-  I>Qring  Ma  ab- 
sence, however,  a  number  of  the  employea  o| 
Elias  took  possession  of  the  building,  and  when  Gfles 
subsequently  appeared,  demanding  an  entrance,  tkey 
drove  him  away  with  stones  and  pistols.  Sunday 
evening  the  ruen  removed  from  the  building  all  the 
machinery  in  it,  and  placed  some  of  their  number  on 

fuard  to  prevent  the  re-entrance  of  Griles.  It  is  tm^ 
erstood  that  to-morrow  or  Thursday  the  factor^ 
will  be  reopened  under  the  new  auspices  with  300 
hands  at  worli,  and  the  men  are  happy  at  the  pros" 
pert  of  being  supplied  again  with  work  which  shall 
yield  eometlung-  more  substantial  than  oft-repeated 
and  oft-broken  promlGes  of  pay.

LojiBOS,  Thuisday,  July  26,  1877. 
^  It  IB  certam  that  England  means,  at  least, 
hii  fox-himten  gay,  to  be  "la  mt  tlie  death." 
wrtufther  she  will  makeJier  i^peanace  on  the 
PBezie  before  the  last  act,  depends  upon  tbe  re- 
^t  of  negotiatloni  now  going  on  between  the 
*»»lona  powers  interested  in  the  terms  of  peace. 
!rhe  QoTemment  does  not  mean  to  fight  if  it  is 
poaaible  to  avoid  a  conflict  The  nation  objects 
to  war,  though  it  will  greatly  blame  llinistera 
11^  intending  to  interfere,  their  preparations 
Mihonld  prove  to  be  too  late  to  make  the 
ti^i  impression  at  the  right  moment. 
jThe  piesent  week  has  been  an  exciting  one. 
<A.  general  belief  in  the  speedy  intervention  of 
ngland  has  spread  thronghout  the  land.  The 
nmissionlng  of  ships,  the  movements  of- 
ops,  the  cautions  and  somewliat  vagae  ez- 
ations  of  Ministers,  tend  to  confirm  this 
Impression.    The  Duke  of  Cambridge  has  been 

triewing  troops  at  'Woolwich,  and  at  a  banquet 
^  *  other  night  Sir  Garnet  Wolseley  said  the 
ny  was  never  in  a  finer  condition  than  it  is 
ow.  There  are,  nevertheless,  serious  rqmors  to 
>  contrary.  Military  and  other  critics  have 
en  pointing  to  battalions  that  exist  on  paper 
not  in  the  field,  to  the  weak  physique 
'pt  some  of  the  regiments }  reviewed ,  by 
the  Queen  at  Windsor,  and  to  the 
wg6  proportion  of  boys  in  the  Army. 
iThit  kind  of  criticism  is  rather  the  result  of 
■B  anxious  solidtade  {or  the  welfare  of  the 
service  than  the  outcome  of  honest  conviction. 
The  Dnke  of  Cambridge  has  expressed  himnaK* 
Well  satisfied  with  the  qtiality  and  character  of 
the  troops  which  are  leaving  England  this  week 

bn£xt  for  "  the  Mediterranean  regions."  The 
ps  under  immediate  orders  are  only  3,000, 
■a  stated  by  Lord  Berby,  but  some  10,000 
pthers  are  preparing  to  receive  orders,  and  once 
jttie  stream  is  set  flowing,  the  entire  army  may 
Iw  regarded  as  practically  in  motion. 

The  idea  that  the  defeat  of  the  Government 
jDn  the  Pigott  appointment  is  an  indication  of 
ministerial  weakness,  promoted  by  their  foreign 
tpoliey,  is  a  fooUsh  invention.  After  Lord 
^eaeonsfield's  explanation,  and  on  a  complete 
tnpiesentation  of  the  case  to  the  House  of  Com- 
pnons,  the  objectionable  record  previously 
^amed  in  regard  to  the  Premier's  action  in  the 
■natter  was  unanimonsly  withdrawn  by  a  full 
jBonse.  Lord  Beaconsfield  is  neither  unpopular 
jwith  Parliament  nor  with  the  country,  and  if, 
llanhappily,  war  should  be  declared,  the  bioker- 
pngs  of  opponents  would  speedily  be  bashed, 
Wnd  Great  Bijitian  would  stand  forward  as  one 
^nan  in  the  national  interest.  The  verified  ac- 
loonnts  of  Russian  atrocitiea  have  done  a  great 
aeal  to  neutralize  the  recent  movements  of  Mr. 
/Gladstone ;  and  even  Mr.  Freeman  considers  it 

Eeceasary  to  write  to  the  papers,  aasmrng  the 
nbiie  that  be  never  used  the  expression 
"perish  India."  There  is  one  member 
■of  the  Cabinet  who  ought  to  resign,  both 
^or  his  own  reputation's  sake  and  in 
the  interests  of  peace.  Lord  Salisbury 
Iiaa  become  a  national  bugbear^  The  public  be- 
Beves  he  is  a  Russianizer.  Turldsh  sympa- 
thizers hate  him.  The  Gladstone  party  centre 
their  hox>es  in  bim.  The  Cabinet  is  troubled 
with  his  crotchets.  It  would  be  best  for  all 
parties  if  he  retired.  The  Queen  will  not  let 
jhlm.  The  Premier  and  Lord  Derby  much  pre- 
fer that  he  should  remain.  They  hope  to  see 
Ziim  thoroughly  at  one  with  themselves.  They 
claim  to  have  made  large  sacrifices  for  peace  ; 
■nd  even  Lord  Salisbury  is  not  averse  to  the 
tnaintenance  of  British  interests.  These  inte- 
tests  have  been  clearly  defined  in  ofSicial  dis- 
patches to  Russia.  The  next  few  weeks  will 
■how  to  what  extent  these  declaiataans  have 
tommltted  the  two  QoTemments. 

I  Mr.  Gallenga,  one  of  the  Times'  correspond- 
ents, has  coma  home.  He  is  writing  a  book  on 
ttia  eastern  question.  The  Conference  will 
be  exhaustively  treated  in  this  wH>rk  for  the 
first  time.  Mr.  Gallenga  is  in  a  position  to  make 
some  curious  and  interesting  revelatJDns. 

The  Envoy  from  Kashgaria,  in  his  ^reen  robe, 
fa  stdli  in  London.  They  evidentiy  do  not  put 
<m  outward  signs  of  mourning  in  his  late  mas- 
ter's dominiuns.  Koolee  Beg.  who  has  succeeded 
|te  the  throne,  is  said  not  to  inherit  his  father's 
confidence  in  the  English.  It  is  not  un- 
Hk^y,  therefore,  that  in  this  change  of 
anonarchs  complications  mav  arise  more 
%o  the  Interest  of  Russia  than  England.  Per- 
It^ps  the  Ameer  thought  so  when  he  appointed 
to-  succeed  Mm  his  ablest  General,  who  had 
idven'up  his  legitimate  pretensions  in  favor  of 
S^Iee  BeK.  The  Turks  are  fighting  the  battles 
of  England  in  Asia,  for  it  is  quite  certain  that 
;tbe  day  will  come  when  Anglo-India  will  have 
(to  meet  the  Czar  in  these  regions.  The  time 
tnay  be  far  off,  but  within  the  past  20  ^ears 
Snssia  has  pushed  her  outposts  to  points  hither- 
to regarded  as  Inaccessible.  She  is  now  estab- 
liahed  on  the  Oxus,  and  Merv  is  a  point  too  near 
LAfghanistan  to  be  pleasant  for  England,  es- 
meoaUy  when,  according  to  treaties  and  under- 
tStandings,  she 'has  no  right  to  be  there  at  aU. 
|Bnt  the  precedent  of  Khiva  leads  her  on,  f(nd  In- 
jdian  gossips  say  that  she  is  making  liberal  offers 
sof  alliance  to  .Afghanistan,  while  others  declare 
that  Afghanistan  m  preparing  to  oppose  with 
the  sword  further  Bussum  advances.  The  dif- 
ficulties of  obt&iztiug  a  true  statement  of  the 
■itaation  in  those  regions  are,  however,  very 
grsat,  and  every  report  has  to  be  carefhlly 
yeighed  and  investigated  before  it  may  b^  ac- 
eepud. 

Two  leaders  of  the  Opposition  spoke  at  pub- 
Uo  places  yesterday  in  reference  to  the  war. 
■frhe  Marquis  of  Hartington  received  the  free- 
'^m  of  the  ancient-company  of  Fishmongers  in 
the  City  of  London,  and  lii.  John  Bright  un- 
Telled  the  statue  of  Cobden  at  Bradford.  Lord 
Hartlngton  said  the  Liberal  Party,  which  he 
lias  the  honor  to  lead  in  the  Houfe  of  Commons, 
have  never  denied  that  grave  interests  are  in- 
volved and  that  a  time  may  come  when  it  will 
1^  necessary  to  defend  thoee  interests.  At  the 
■ame  time  they  believed  that  England's  position 
Would  only  be  weakened  by  a  premature  inter- 
ference until  tbey  knew  how  their  interests 
■were  likely  to  be  affected  azid  in  what  way  they 
■were  to  be  dealt  with.  He  and  his  friend.  Lord 
OramvUle,  (who  sat  by  the  side  of  the  Speaker, ) 
had  striven  to  keep  the  Eastern  question  out  of 
the  domain  of  party  politics.  At  Bradford,  Mr. 
Bright  gave  his  eager  listeners  some  well  select- 
ed illustrations  of  the  blessings  of  neutrali- 
ty. Among  them  the  following  will  have  a  pe- 
enliar  Interest  Cor  America : 

"  Kow,  doxlni;  this  time  tliepo  'was  another  great 
war,  from  1860  to  1865 — ^viz..  the  civil  war  in  the 
United  States.  You  rememoer  what  took  place 
then.  There  was.  a  war  party  here,  some  waatmgto 
«oa]esee  with  the  Bmperor  of  the  French  to  acknowl- 
edge tba  party  of  tho  Southern  State*,  to  make 
alavery  petpetnal,  and  enter  mto  a  dioastrons  eom- 
vaet  to  oppose  tlw  great  power  of  the  Nortii.  It  wo 
Bad  done  that  w»  aaould  not  have  imcceeded  in  estab-

worthy  armies  otf  the  North,  1^  to  themselves  to 
fight  oat  the  stmgglo  If  any  power  in  £urope  had 
StMfored  not  the  million  of  men  would  have  Men  in

eoontry,  and  the  brotherhood  betTrreen  that  people

Well,  now.  in  these  caaes,  you  see,  war  was  avoided. 
Is  there  one  sbi^le  man  in  the  Unitod  Kingdom  ont-

^liere  was  a  great  suspicion  at  one  time  about

BoBsia  yevT  MAsihly  aX\  once  pnt  £jcypt  outalde

stantinople, though  that  was  shutting  Russia 
oat  of  one  of  the  commcmest  rights — the  taking 
and  occupying  of  the  chief  city j  of  anen^uy^s 
Empire  being  ithe  speediest  mode  of  bringing 
the  war  to  a  conclu3ion|  •  !  ! 

**I  take  it,  that  if  the  Knssiansisnccevd— and  on 
that  I  give  no  opinion — ^wbat  shall  bo  the  destiny  of 
Constantinople  will  be  refeTxed  to  something  like  a. 
general  eotmcil  of  the  powers  of  Europe.  Russia  has 
sgain  and  afoin  proclalme|d.  by  erery  kind  of  way,  by 
every  aolemnity  of  expression,  that  it  Is  not  her  in- 
tention to  attempt  to  oociipy  Constantinople.  [Hear,

The  Straits  are  open  to  all  nations,  and  wete  opened 
by  the  Kusaians  nearlT  lOO  years  ago,  afterlthey  had 
been  cJosad  to  the  world  fior  300  years  by  th»  Turlu. 
I  hold  the  opening  of  the  Straits  to  be  aSsohitely  in- 
evitable ;  and  as  to  the  oonditlons,  the  powera  of 
£arox>e  would  have  no  difficulty  in  iarrauKing  tham. 
Yon  might  make  proTision  that  not  more  than  one  or 
two  ships,  or  a  limited  number,  should  ev«r  be  at  one 
time  in  the  Straits  between  the  two  seas,  and  there- 
fore Constantinople  woiild  be  free  from  bombard- 
ment from  any  £leet  pasaihg  down  the  channel." 

In  conchidixig  his  eomparatiTely  brief  but 
eloquent  revieiw  of  thB  situation,  thej  famona 
Idberal  chieftain  said : 

"  If  the  time  should  come — it  might  sot  be  remote 
— ^when  the  future  destiny  of  Constantinople  will 
have  to  be  decided,  whether  the  Turk  remam  there! 
or  the  Greek  return  to  the  puiissiisiou  of  his  anclentj 
glory  of  power,  it  would  become  the  Government  of; 
this  country  not  to  show  the  aelflghn&M  of  this 
miserable  jealousy,  but  wfith  interest  and  courageous 
advance  to  join  the  other:  powers  In  the  settlement 
best  for  the  future  interest  and  peace  of  Europe. 
Now,  I  began  by  sb  owing:  that  we  were  a  great  Km- 
pire.  It  becomes  a  great' State  like  this  to  set  always 
to  the  world  a  great  and  noble  example.  I  quote  a 
passage  from  tne  recent  speech  of  Lord  I)erby, 
which  contained  a  Bentini|ent  which  has  my  utmoatj 
admiration  and;  my  fullest  concurrence.  He  said:] 
'  We  must  always  remember  that  the  greatest  Britiahj

vouch  for  the  truth  of  the  rumor  that  10,000 
men  hftd  beenjordered|  to  Gallipoll.  I  had  the 
statement  from  a  trustworthy  source,  neverthej-

howerer  vague  and  |  guarded,  I  felt  dubiou* 
about  accepting  thisi  report  of  '*  ordered  to

an  augmentation  can  only  mean  a  preparatioxi

time  of  such  action  be  near  or  distant  it  is  dli|-

lying  at  Ponsmouth '  have  all  sailed,  it  will  be 
found  that  at  least  10^000  men  have  gone  out 
to  strengthen  positions  in  the  Mediterranean 
which  were  already  well  provided,  and  that  the 
First  Army  Corps  which  I  described  many  weeks

troops  reviewed  by  the  Queen  at  Windsor ;  the 
same  officers  and  men  are  now  embarking  In 
the  Euphrates,  Crocodile,  and  other  veswia. 
Their  immediate  destination  is  said  to  be  Malta; 
the  events  of  the  next  few  w^ks  will  decide 
where  they  may  ultimately  find  their  real  worlk

and  the  hope  of  the  soldiers  is  that  the  forcep 
now  going  out  represent  the  vanguard  of  the 
English  Army.  Yesterday  the  Duke  of  Consj- 
bridge  made  his  annual  :  inspectiou  <a 
the  battalions  of  guards  quartered  at 
the  West  End  of  London.  Special  interest 
attached  to  the  event  on  account  of  two  bi^taj- 
ions  being  under  orders  for  foreign  service,  it 
was  observed  that  even  among  fbe  Guards,  thie 
crack  regiments  of  the  Army,  many  of  the  men 
are  young  and  by  no  means  up  to  the  customary 
physique  of  these  splendid  troops.  Keverth^- 
lesSt  the  marches  past,  first  in^  double  coliimnk 
of  companies,  and  aubaequeittly  in  mass  oJC 
coltmins,  were  eminently  satisfactory.  The  or- 
dinary brigade  moTements  that  followed  dem- 
onstrated tne  facility  with  which  the  Coni- 
mander-in-Chlef  can  manceuvre  troops  irio 
as  to  present  a  continual  fep^ition 
of  fr^h  -  fronts  to  an  enemy.  Changes 
of  front  with  a|  view  to  meet  neV 
assailants  at  anexpecoed  points  Were  made  with 
a  rapidity  and  steadiness  that ;  called  forth  the 
admiration  of  critical  lookers-bii.  The  new  style 
of  attack  introduced!  into  general  orders  some 
months  ago  was  illuistrated  and  tested.  His 
Eoyal  Hi^neas  carried  out  the  principles  of  the 
modem  plan  In  their  Integrity,  ardently  noting 
the  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  the  phtfi 
'With  scrupulous  care..  The  leading  idea  of  the 
'•new  attack^' is  founkj  in  the  first  movement, 
which  is  to  selnd  out  sections  instead  oi  the  full 
complement  of  companies  to  form  the  flghtixi|g 
line,  which  is  fed  continuously  from  the  r^maiifi- 
der  of  the  companies.  I  But  it  is  urged  by  sup- 
porters of  the  old  sys^m  that  the  maintenande 
of  files  intact  (the  very  backbone  of  all  attacking 
formations)  is  thus  rendered  very  difficult  to 
the  section  leaders.  |The  Duke,  however,  tri^ 
the  system  thoroughly,  with  what  satisfaction  to 
himself  I  am  not  iu  a  jposiUon  to  say,  l|ut  the  re- 
view was  considered  ijo  be  a  great  success.      "  |

THE  JLVS%a£^  or  THB  "  COUMTESS  HMN- 
RATH*  TO  STEAL  FBOX  A  DKAD  MAN'S 
ESTATE. 

In  the  long  pending  eoid  Intoresting  suit  in 
the  Spedsl  Term  of  the  Supreme  Coort,  of  Catharine 
Kesta  Bn;iisnK>re  TBAa,  better  known  as  the  "  Coon- 
tegaH«iQrath,";axiattraettve  and  fashionable  lady 
who  rssided  op  town*  sgaiast  tha  estato  of  the  late 
Daniel  Marley,  formerly  a  well-known  dealer  in  ar- 
tistie  frnniture  mod  rare  woi^  of  art  on  Broadway, 
Judge  Van  Brant  yesterday  gave  an  opinion  dlt- 
misring  the  i  ooi^pUdnt.  The  suit  waa  brought  by 
the  "  Countess  *'  to  set  asi^  a  bond  and  a  release 
which  she  had  glvan  to  ICr.  Marley,  and  for  an  ac- 
counting for  tiansaotlons  between  them  for  a  num- 
ber of  years,  the  "Countess"  claiming  that  there 
was  a  balance  due  her  of  from  $50,000  to  $60,000, 
and  that  she  had  given  the  release  under  a  mlscon- 
ceptlpn  of  jitsl  lmx>ort.  The  '* Countess"  was  pos- 
sessed of  a  great  nnmbv  of  diamond  rings,  necklaces, 
brooches,  Sn^,  \  and  hsir  residence  waa  luxuriously 
furnished.  Mr|  Marley,  it  appears,  had  prior  to  Jxme 
23,  1863.  sold  her  a  large  qnanttty  of  faxnitnre,  on 
which  tiwre  was  k  balance  due  him,  and  «a  account 
stated  between  {the  parties  on  that  date  showed  it  to 
b«$7,587  07,andtwodaT8Aft6rwardthe  "Countess" 
»ve  a  mortgage  to  Mr.  Marley  for  48,587,07.  She 
clafans  that  this  shows  $1,000  that  ought  to  be 
credited  in  her  favor,  and  which  was  not,  and  that 
there  should  also  be  credited  to  her  a  receipt  fclven  to 
her  by  Mr.  Marley  for  $1,500,  dated  Oct.  ^2,  1862  ; 
a  drift  upon  Duncan,  Sherman  &  Co.  for  $1,500, 
dat«d  Oct.  23,  1802  ;  $1,500  whieb  she  alleged  was 
due  from  Mx-  Marley  in  June,  16G3,  and  various 
other  sums,  which  she  claimed  that  Mr.  Marley,  with 
whom  she  aaid  she  deposited  money  at  varioTis  timeSi 
he  acting  as  her  bauer,  waa  indebted  to  her«  Ja 
support  of  her  case  she  presented  various  receipts, 
and  also  a  paper  purporting  to  liave  been  executed 
by  Mr.  Marley  a  short  time  before  his  death,  in 
which  he  agreed  to  repay  to  the  *' Countess"  about 
the  amount  which  she  claims  his  estate  is  indebted  to 
her,  and  to  return  the  release  and  the  bond,  which  It 
was  one  of  the  main  objects  of  tha  suit  to  have  set 
aside. 

Judge  Tan  Brunt,  in  his  opinion,  says  that  the  case 
was  one  of  the  most  remarkable  that  ever  came  un- 
der his  observation.  The  plaintiff,  upon  the  trial, 
had  presented  a  case  which  appeared  to  he  very 
strong  until  it  was  subjected  to  a  close  analvsis,  when 
it  Iwame  appai^ut  that  most  of  the  evlaence  was 
made  qp  of  nlsifted  accounts,  which  had  been  pre- 
pared with  so  much  art  as  to  entirely  escape  the  at-. 
tention  of  Counsel  for  the  plalntUf.  Almost  every 
paper  'preseatJBd  by  tha  plaintiff  upon  which  a 
claim  of  credit  not  auowed  by  Mr.  Martin, 
the  Executor  of  Mr.  Marleys  estate,  was 
founded,  was  mutilated  in  some  respect. 
Either  the  date  was  written  over  an  erasure,  the 
paper  blotted  with  some  peculiar  orownish  sub- 
stance,  or  a  memorandum  of  Impoxtauce  connected 
with  th<^  entering  of  a  credit  would  be  missing. 
Judffe  van  Brunt  here  goes  into  an  exhaustive 
analysifilof  the  various  written  evidences  of  indebt- 
edness presented  by  the  "  Countess  "  to  show  that 
they  were  fraudulently  prepared.  In  relation  to  the 
teatimony  of  the  ' '  Countess  "  on  the  trial,  Judge  Van 
Brant  says,  tfaat  Mr.  Marley  being  dead,  aad  the  evi- 
dence of  the  falslflcatton  of  the  accounts  being  so 
great,  no  credence  could  be  given  to  the  testimony  of 
Che  party  claiming  under  them.  Judge  Van  Brunt 
said  he  I  had  not  considered  the  export  testimony 
given  on  the  trial,  becauss^e  thonght  that  such  tes- 
timony was  tha  most  dangerous  that  could  be  per- 
mitlea  to  be  I  oiTered  in  a  court  of  justice,  and 
shotUd  always  be  acmtinlxed  with  the  greatest 
jeaJiousyL  Tbe  plaintiff  had  attempted,  under  the 
forms  of  law,  to  steal  from  a  dead  man's  estate  a 
large  su^  of  money,  with  a  boldness  and  skill  seldom 
equalledi.  The  complaint  must,  he  said,  be  dismissed 
with  costs,  and  an  extra  allowance  of  $2,000  made  to 
defendanta  j 

The  counsel  for  plaintiff  werej  Messrs.  Albert  Hick- 
ney  and 'John  A.  Wright,  audi  Judge  Van  Brunt,  in 
conciadln^  his  opinion,  absolves  them  from  any 
knowledge  of  their  client's  fraudulent  presentation  of 
documentary  evidettca.

The  August  torm  of  the  Court  of  General 
Sessions  waa  opened  yesterday  by  Judge  Sutherland. 
•A  large  nnmbar  of  priaon  cases  were  on  the  calendar, 
and  were  promptly  disposed  of  by  Assistant  District 
Attorney  Hflrrtng.  Mr.  Charles  H.  Isham.  of  No. 
329  Fith-avenue,  was  selected  iiy  the  court  to  act  as 
foreman  of  the  Grrand  Jury.    Judge  Sutherland,  in 


charging  the  members  of  the  Grand  Innnest,  said 
that  he  was  not  aware  of  anything  which  had  oc- 
curred in  the   City  since  the  impRnellng   of  the  last 


Grand  Jury  which  called  for  any  specijd  mention 
from  him.  There  had  been  a  great  deal  of  excite- 
ment all  oyer  the  country ;  but,  fortunately,  he 
was  not  cognizant  of  any  act  of  vio- 
lence or  unlawful  matter  within  the  jurisdiction 
which  required  special  comment.  His  Honor  then 
directed  the  attention  of  the  Grand  Jury  to  all  viola- 
tions of  the  Excise,  Usury.  I«ottery,  Election,  Obscene 
Literature  and  other  laws,  as  defined  In  the  statutes, 
and  dismissed  them  to  their  deliberations.  The  ses- 
sion of  the  Grand  Jury  will  probably  not  exceed  two 
weeks,  as  is  customary  dtiring  the  oeated  term,  and 
will  be  devoted  mainly  to  the  disposition  of  the  casta 
which  have  accumulated  in  the  Tombs.  Forty-eight 
of  the  gentlempn  summoned  to  attend  as  jurors 
failed  to  respond  to  their  names  at  the  calling  nf  the 
roll  yesterday.  Judge  Sutheriand  directed  that  a 
fine  of  $250  each  be  imposed  on  the  delinquents.

East  Twelfth-street,  was  arrested  yeatorday 
morning  for  cutting  Valentine  Lelstermann,  of  No.

account  of  the  affair  condemnrltfm  at  once  as  a  per- 
son utterly  destttuto  of  character.  He  says  he  called 
npon  Miss  Wetzal  and  that  she  asked  him  to  many 
her,  to  whieh  ihe  replied  that  time*  were  too  hard ;  h« 
could  not  affoicd  it.  Subsequently,  while  they  were 
seated  upon  a  bed,  acting  in  a  manner  which  he  de- 
seribes,  but  Irhlch  will  not  bear  repeating,  he  says 
she  seized  spmethtng— what,  he  does  not  knew — 
and  cut  ^^w.  After  being  cut,  Lelstermann 
went  to  his  home,  'ttien  to  the  station-house  to 
make  complaint,  and  from  there  to  Bellevue  Hospi- 
tal, where  ne  now  lies.  The  i  woman  had  a  private 
examination  by  Justice  Kil.breth  in  the  Essex  Mar- 
ket Court  yesterday  aft<*noon.  and  was  by  him 
baUed  to  awMt  a  formal  complaint  when  Leister- 
manu  shall  liave  recovered.  She  is  a  German  woman 
about  28  vaars  old,  and  unmarried.  She  says  she 
formerly  Uved  with  her  rister,  but  since  the  litter's 
marriage  some  four  months  ago  had  lived  alone, 
carrying  on  har  business.  Lelstermann  had  for 
some  time  been  Intimate  with  her  family-  When 
he  called  on  Sundav  night  her  sister  was  with  her. 
They  were  in  the  sitting-room.  Her  sister  left  soon 
to  go  home,  and  had  no  sooner  done  so  than  Lelster- 
mann caught  her  [Louisa]  in  his  arms,  carried  her  to 
an  adjoining  room,  threw  her  on  her  bed  and  ac- 
complished his  design.  She  screamed,  sailed  a  knife 
from  a  shelf  within  refch,  and  cut  him.  Her  sister 
says  that  after  she  had  left  the  room  she  heard  Louisa 
scream,  and  west  back  8he  met  Lelstermann  eoisg 
out  of  the  door  adjusting  his:  clothes.  He  did  not 
speak.  There  is  a  candor  in  the  woman's  recital 
which  seems  to  give  considerable  credit  to  her  ston'- 
Leistermann's  injuries  will  not  be  fatal,  but  he  will 
be  maimed  for  life.

A  i^EW  WAY  OF  swiyDLiya. 
L.  C.  De  Montainville,  a  well-dressed  young 
Fvenchmsln,  was  yesterday  brought  before  Justice 
Smith  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court  by  Detective  King, 
of  the  Central  Of^ce,  on  compliaint  of  Charles  S.  Hig- 
g^ns,  the  sopp  manufacturer.  About  two  weeks  aso 
the  defendant  went  to  Mr.  Higgins'  office,  at  No.  76 
'Wall-street,  and  represented  himself  as  an  agent  of 
the  Freneb  Government  on  a  visit  to  this  country  for 
the  purpose  of  collectln2  material  for  a  report  upon 
the  industries  of  America  to  be  used  at  the  Paiis  Ex- 
hibition of  3.880,  and  said  that  if  Mr.  Higgins  would 
like  a  translation  of  the  report  be  conid  have  It  for 

$15.  The  money  was  paid  and  a  few  days  ago  Mr. 
Higgins  receiver?  what  purported  to  be  a  translation  of 
the  report.  He  pronouncea  It  indifferent  and  of  no 
value  whatever.  He  made  complaint  to  the  French 
Consul  in  this  City  and  learned  that  his  was  the 
two  hundred  and  ninety-third  ease  that  had  been 
ibrought  to  the  attention  of  the  Consul,  and  that 
MbntainviUe  had  no  authority  whatever  to  act  in  the

Coturtftf  6<n«a:al  Senloos,  yesterday,  to  answer  a 
charge  of  g  and  larceny.  The  case  Was  prolonged  to 
an  Intolerable  extent,  owing  to  the  loquacity  of  the 
complainant^  Mrs.  Jane  "VS^llard,  whose  flow  of 
8pee<^  defied  the  control  ofil  Judge  Sutherland  and 
the  lawyezs  on  both  sides,  aiiid  Irapt  tha  court  in  a 
roar  cf  laughter,  xhich  It  waa  almost  impossible  to 
snppreas.  Mrs.  WUlard  swojre  that  In  purstiance  of 
an  agreement  between  hersdf  and  Miss  Smith,  who 
was  anxlouj  i  to  start  a  bouding-hoose,  She  removed

to  receive  a  9  remuneration  board  for  herself  and  her 
son,  and  ce  tain  instaJlmenta  of  money.  The  contract 
was  to  take  effect  on  July  1.  and  on  that  day  Mrs.  Wil- 
lard  moved  into  No.  lOS"  Clinton  place,  taking  with 
her  a  tmnJ :  containing  her  blanliets.  Mrs.  Willard 
slept  in  on'  of  the  parlors  that  night,  and  on  arising 
next  mom  ng  found'  that  four  blankets,  valued  at 
$50,  had  bjeea  stolen  fromlher  trunk.  She  imme- 
diately informed  Misa  Smith  of  her  loss,  and  an- 
nounwd  he  r  intention  of  consulting  a  fortune-teller, 
who,  she  fe  It  confident,  could  reveal  the  name  of  the 
thief.  Mi£  i  Smith,  she  saijd.  crimsoned  at  this  an- 
nounoemenA,  and,  after  "biting  her  lips,"  confessed 
tliat  ahe  h4d  "taken  "  the  l^ankets,  but  wouiaipv-

Mrs.  WUlard  remained  in  [the  house  five  months 
after  this  Uansaction,  during  which  time  she  missed 
sevsoal  oth^  articles  of  property,  and  finally  bad 
Misa  Smith  arrested.  On,!  cross-examination  the 
lawyer  for]  the  defense  interrogated  Mrs.  Wlllard 
vtory  closely  as  to  tho  exact  hour  at  which  she  arose 
on  the  motning  of  tho  alleged  theft.  "  I  got  up 
at  sunriser'  replied  Mrs.  Willacd  triumphantly. 
"Well,  tell  us  what  time  the  sun  arose  that  morn- 
ing "  persiated  the  lawyer.  Tuniiug  to  Judge  Suth- 
erumd.  wh<^  was  deeply  engrossed  in  taking  notes, 
ifra.  Willard  smilingly  i^e^i  "What  time  did  the 
sun  rlseriJudge,  on  tbatjdayl"  Judge  Suther- 
land, amazed  looked  pp  from  his  diary 
and  s^dTT  "  Well,  really,  Madame,  I  don't 
know  ;  yoa  had  better  consult  an  a  imanac.  I  don't 
carry  one  in  my  pocket."  Mrs.  Willard  blandly  pur- 
sued her  narrative,  and  succeeeded  in  gaining  uer 
point,  by  getting  all  she  wanted  before  tho  jury. 
Miss  Smltq  deniad  the  oifensa,  but  admitted  to  As- 
aistant  District  Attorney  Herring  that  ahe  had  once 
before  been  arrested  on  a  similar  charge.  The  jury 
acquitted  the  prisoner,  but  on  motion  of  Mr.  Herring 
she  was  remanded  for  trial  on  another  indictment, 
charging  aldmilar  offense. 
TIds  is  ti|e  case  in  which  the  defense  claim  that  the 
e  victim  of  a  conspiracy,  organized  with 
^%  of  tbe  District  Attorney,  to  keep  her 
k  or  send  her  to  prison,  in  order  to  pre-

the  accused  on  the  second  charge  in  a  few  days,  and 
would  meinwlille  accept  bail  in  $500.  Even  this 
small  amount,  however,  was;,  not  produced,  and  the 
"  martyr,"  Miss.  Smltih,  was  taken  back  to  the  Tombs.

Army. — ^The  record  exhibits,  that  immediately  above 
the  City  of  Savannah  the  river  is  divided  by  Hutchin- 
son's Island,  atul  that  ther^  is  a  natural  channel  on 
each  side  of  tlie  island,  both  meeting  at  the  head- 
The  obstruction  complalm^  of  is  at  the  point  of 
di^'ergenca  betvveen  the  two  chaunels,  and  its  pur- 
pose and  pirobftble  effect  arejto  Improve  the  southern 
channel  aft  the  eipeuAe  of  tie  northern  by  increasing 
the  flow  ol  water  through  the  former,  thus  incfftasing 
its  depth  0  od  water-way,  a^j  also  the  scouring  effecU 
of  the  current.  Tbe  actipn  of  the  defendants  is 
not,  thenforo,  the  destruction  of  the  navigation 
of  the  river.  Tme.  it  Is  obstxocting  the 
vrater-way  of  one  of  its  ciiannels,  and  compelling 
uavigatioE  to  tise  the  other;6bannel,  hut  it  is  a  means 
employed  :o  n-nder  navigation  of  the  river  more  con- 
venient— (  mode  of  impr6|vBment  not  uncommon. 
The  two  c  lannels  are  tout  two  rivers,  and  closing  one 
forthe  Imjrovement  of  thejother  ia  in  no  just  or  le- 
gal sense  (  estroying  or  impeding  the  navigation.  If 
It  were,  e\  ery  itmcture  erected  iu  the  bed  of  ttie 
river,  wht  ther  in  the  chanixel  or  not,  would  be  an 
obstmctio  a.  It  might  be  a  lighthouse  erected  on  a 
sabmergm  sand- bank  or  a  Jetty  pushed  out  into  the 
stream  to  narrow  the  waj|pr-way  and  increase  the 
depth  of  water  and  th»  direction  and  force 
of  the  mrrent,  or  the  pier  of  a  bridge 
standing  wiiere  vessolsjl  now  pass,  and  where 
they  can  pass  only  at  vory  high"  water. 
The  luip  tdiments  to  navigation  caused  by  such 
structure  vre,  it  is  true,  in  jque  sense  obstructions  to 
navigatioi ,  but  so  far  as  they  tend  to  facilitate  com- 
merce, it  a  not  claimed  that  they  are  tuilawf  ul.  In 
what  reap  K!t.  except  In  degree,  do  they  differ  from 
tho  acts  ind  constructions  of  whicli  the  plalntiif 
complains  1  All  of  them  aTJS  obstructions  to  the  nat- 
ural flow  of  the  river,  yet  all,  except  the  pier,  are 
improvem  mts  to  its  navigability,  and  consequently 
they  add  i  ew  facilities  to  the  conduct  of  commerce. 
It  is  not,  1  owever,  to  be  conceded  that  Congress  has 
no  power  to  ord»;r  obstructions  to  be  placed  In  the 
navigable  waters  of  the  United  States,  either  to 
assist  nav  gation  or  to  change  its  direction  by  forcing 
it  into  0  1*  channel;  of  a  river  rather  than  the 
other.  It  may  build  light-houses  in  tbe  b«d  of  the 
stream-  '.  t  may  construct  jetties  ;  it  may  require  all 
navigator  to  pass  along  a' prescribed  channel,  and 
may  dose  any  other  channel  to  their  passage.  If.  as 
wohave  s  dd,  the  United  States  have  succeeded  to 
the  powei  and  rights  of  th^  several  States,  so  far  as 
control  o^  er  inter-.State  andforeign  commerce  is  con- 
Cf^med,  tHs  is  not  to  be  doubted.  Might  not  the 
States  of  South  (Jarolina,  and  Georgia,  by  mutual 
agreemen' ,  have  constructed  a  dam  a<!ro8S  the  cross- 
tides  between  Hutchinson  and  Argyle  Islands,  and 
thus  have  confined  the  navigation  of  the  Savannah 
River  to  t  le  southern  chaniel  ?  Miaht  they  not  have 
doner  thu  before  they  surrendered  to  the  Federal 
Govemmi  nt  a  portiun  of  their  sovereignty  1 
Might  tley  not  have  constructod  jetties  or 
manipulai  ed  the  river  so  titat  commerce 
could  hav  1  been  carried  on  exclusively  through  the 
southern  i  hannel  on  [the  .sou*h  side  of  Hutchinson's 
Island  ■'  t  is  not  tl]  ought  ^;hat  these  questions  can 
be  auswei  ?d  In  the  negative.  Then  wliy  may  not 
Compress,  succeeding  as  It  has  done  to  the  authority 
of  the  States,  do  the  Bame  thing?  Why  may  It  not 
confine  tha  navigatidn  of  the  river  to  the  chanc»'l 
south  of  I  Lutchtnson's  Island,  and  why  is  not  this  a 
regulatioi  of  commerce,  if  commerce  includes  navi- 
gation *     tVe  think  It  ia  such  a  regulation. 

Upon  tl  ese  facts,  j  the  decision  is  In  substance  as 
follows :  The  compact  between  South  Carolina  and 
Geoigia  n  ode  Lm  17i^7,  by  -tjvhich  it  was  agreed  that 
the^bount  ary  between  the  two  States  ahould  be  the 
northern  iraneh  or  stream,  of  the  Savannah  River, 
and  that  1  he  navigation  of  the  river  along  a  specified 
channel  s  loiUd  forever  be  tiqu&lly  free  to  tho  citizens 
of  both  S  ales,  and  exempt  from  hindrance,  inter- 
ruption, ( r  molestatloi^  attempted  to  be  enforced  by 
one  State  on  the  citizens  of  another,  has  no  effect 
upon  the  snbsequoht  constitutional  provision  that 
Congress  shall  h:ive  powbr  t«|  regulate  commerce 
with  fore  sn  nations  and  amon^  the  several  States. 
Congress  nas  the  same  power  over  the  Savanuali 
Hlver  tha  t  it  has  over  the  other  navigable  waters  of 
the  United  Stste.s.  The  right  to  regulate  commerce 
hicludes  1  he  right  to  regulsile  navigation,  and  hence  to 
regulate  i  nd  Improve  navigable  rivers  and  ports  on 
such  rivtrs.  iCongress  haS  power  to  close  one  of 
several  cl  annels  in  a  navigable  stream.  If,  in  its  judg- 
ment, th  jrebir  the  navigation  of  the  river  will  bo 
improved .  It  [may  declare  that  an  actual  obstruc- 
tion Is  not,  |m  the  view  of  tbe  law,  an  illegal 
one.  An  appropriation  for  the  improvement 
of  a  harbor  or  a  navigable  river,  "to  be 
expended  under  the  directitm  of  the  Secretary 
of  War."  confers  upon  that  offlcer  the  discretion  to 
determine  the;  mode  of  improvement,  and  authorizes 
his  diven  ion  of  the  water  from  one  channel  into 
another. :  f  in  b«  judgmont  such  is  the  best  mode. 
Such  a  dl  rersion  Is  iiot  givlbg  preference  to  tho  ports 
of  one  St  ite  oyer  those  of  l^other.  Query,  whether 
a  State  81  iiig  for  the  prevention  of  a  nuisance  on  a 
navigable  rivear  whidi  is  one  of  its  boundaries,  mu.»tt 
not  aver  and  I  show  that  she  sustains  some  special 
and  peculiar  injury  thereby,  such  as  would   enable  a

ttou  of  tha  use  by  the  people  of  tketr  eooimou  prop- 
erty. Tie  right  which  the  people  of  the  State  thus 
acquire  come*  not  from  uieir  eitiienaldp  alone, 
but  from  their  cdtizenship  and  property  com- 
bined. It  Is.  in  fact,  a  property  rixht,  and  not 
a  mere  privilege  or  Immunity  of  citlzeuahip. 
By  article  TV.,  section  2,  of  the  Constitution,  the 
c^hsens  of  each  State  "  are  entitled  to  all  privilege 
and  immunities  of  citiTens  in  the  several  States." 
Mr.  Justice  Washington  in  Corfield  vs.  Cornell,  4 
Wash.  C.  C.  R.,  380,  thought  that  thLs  prorisiou 
extended  only  to  such  privileges  and.  immunities  as 
are  "  in  their  natu^  fundamental:  which  belong  of 
right  to  the  citizens  of  all  fieegovemmente ;"  and 
Mr.  Justice  Curtis,  in  Scott  vs.  Sand- 
ford,  19  How.,  580.  described  them  as 
such  "  as  beloneed  to  general  citizenship." 
But  usually  when  this  pro\-ision  of  the  Constitotion 
has  been  und^  consideration  the  courts  have  mani- 
fested the  disposition  which  this  court  did  in  Conner 
vs.  Elliott,  18  How.,  593— not  to  attempt  to^define 
the  words,  but  rather  to  leave  their  meaning  to  be 
determined  in  each  case  upon  a  view  of  the  partlcu- 
hur  rights  asserted  or  denied  therein.  TIlIb  dearly 
is  uie  safer  course  to  pursue,  when,  to 
use  the  language  of  Mr.  Justice  Curtla 
in  Conner  vs.  Elliott,  "we'  are  dealing 
with  so  broad  a  provision,  involving  matters  not 
only  of  great  deucacy  and'  importance,  but  which 
are  of  such  a  character  that  any  merely  at>stract 
definition  could  scarcely  be  correct,  and  a  failure  to 
make  it  so  would  certainly  produce  mischief."  Fol- 
lowing, then,  this  salutary  rule,  and  looking  only  to 
tlie  p^ticiUar  right  wiiichis  here  asserted,  we  think 
we  may  safely  say  that  the  dtizena  of  one  State 
are  not  invested  by  this  clause  of  the  Constitu- 
tion with  any  interest  in  the  conunon 
Sroperty  of  the  citizens  of  another  State. 
'  Virginia  hod  by  law  provided  for  the  sale  of  her 
once  vast  public  domain,  anU  a  division  of  the  pro- 
ceeds among  its  own  people,  no  one,  we  venture  te 
say,  would  contend  that  nie  citizens  of  other  States 
hflid  a  constitutional  right  to  the  enjoyment  of  this 
privil^e  of  Virginia  citizenship.  Neitner  If,  instead 
of  selling,  the  State  hod  appropriated  the  same  prop- 
erty te  be  used  as  a  common  bklta  people  for  the 
purposes  of  agriculture,  couId\the  citizens  of 
other  .States  avail  themselveaX  of  sn(dL  a 
privilege.  And  the  reason  is  edtvious ;  the 
right  thus  granted  is  not  a  jKrivU^e  or 
immunity  of  eeneral,  but  of  special  dtiienshipv  It 
does  not  "  belong  of  right  to  the  citizens  of  all  free 
Governments,"  but  only  to  the  citizens  of 
on  account  of  the  peculiar  circumstances  in^luch 
they  are  placed-  They,  and  they  alone,  owned\th6 
property  to  be  sold  or  used,  and  they  alone  luld 
power  to  dispose  of  it  as  they  saw  fit.  They  owm 
It,  not  by  ^■irtue  of  citizenship  merelv,  but  of  citizen- 
ship and  domicile  united,  that  is  to  say,  by  virtue  of 
a  citizenship  confined  to  that  particular  locality. 
The  planting  of  oysters  in  tha  soil  covered  by 
water  owned  in  common  by  the  people  of  the  State  is 
not  different  in  principle  from  that  of  planting  com 
upon  dry  land  held  in  the  same  way.  Both  are  for 
the  purposes  of  cultivation  and  profit,  and  if  the 
State,  ill  the  regulation  of  iU  public  domain,  can 
grant  to  ite  own  citizens  the  exclusive  iwe  of  dry 
lands,  we  see  no  reason  why  it  may  not  do  the  same 
thing  in  respect  to  such  as  are  covered  by  water. 
And,  OS  all  concede  that  a  State  may  grant  to  one  of 
its  citizens  the  exclusive  use  of  a  part 
of  the  common  property,  the  conclusion  would 
seem  to  follow  that  it  might  by  appropriate 
legislation  confine  tne  use  of  the  whole  to  its  own 
people  alone.  Neither  do  we  think  this  case  is  at  all 
affected  by  the  clause  of  the  Constitution  which  con- 
fers power  on  Congress  to  regulate  commerce.  (Article 
1,  section  8.)  There  is  no  question  of  transportation 
or  exchance  of  commoditias,  bnt  only  of  cultivation 
and  production.  Commerce  has  nothing  to  do  with 
land  while  producing,  but  only  with  the  product 
after  it  has  become  toe  subject  of  trade.  Mi^inia, 
owning  land  under  water  adaped  to  the  pro- 
pagation and  improvement  of  oysters,  has  seen 
fit  to  grant  the  exclusive  use  of  it  for 
that  purpose  to  the  citizens  of  the  State. 
In  this  way  the  people  of  Virginia  may  be  enabled  to 
produce  what  tho  people  of  the  other  States  canuot, 
out  that  is  because  they  own  property  which  the 
others  do  not.  Their  productions  do  not  roring  from 
commerce,  but  commerce,  to  some  extent,  from  them. 
We  are  unable  to  agree  with  the  counsel  for  the  plain- 
tiff iu  error  in  his  argument  Uiat  the  right  of  planting 
may  be  enforced  as  a  privilege  or  inter- 
Stale  citizenship,  even  toough  that  of  taldng  cannot. 
Planting  means  in  "oystermanic  phraseoiogj-, "  as 
counsel  say,  "deposited  with  tho  intent  that  the

pL'ttl  from  the  Circuit  Court  of  the  United  States  for 
the  Ea.>*tem  District  of  Wisconsin. — This  is  a  cause 
in  admiralty.  The  lil>el  alleges  that  the  tug  Margaret, 
In  towing  the  brig  Mochauic  into  the  Port  of  Racine, 
in  Wisconsin,  conducted  the  process  so  carelessly  and 
unskillfully  that  the  brig  and  cargo  were  sunk.  This 
proceeding  was  in.-<tituted  to  recover  damages  for  the 
loss  sustained  iby  the  libelant.s.  The  entrance  into 
the  harbor  is  at  the  mouth  of  Root  River.  It  has 
been  improvo«l  by  two  piers.  One  of  them  Is 
on  the  north  aud  tlie  other  on  the  south 
side.  They  are  parallel  to  e.ich  other,  and 
extending  into  the  lake  in  a  direction  nearly  due 
east,  the  north  one  runniuc  nut  about  330  feet  fur- 
ther than  the  south  one.  The  distance  from  the  in- 
side of  the  ou'er  end  of  tho  south  pier  directly 
across  to  the  inside  of  the  north  pier  is  238  feet.  At 
the  entrance  to  the  harbor,  and  for  some  disteuce 
further  west  than  the  ea.*it  end  of  tbe  south  pier,  the 
chaiine)  ran  close  along  the  south  side  of  the  north 
pier.  It  waa  about  75  feet  wide.  South  of  the  chan- 
nel, between  it  aud  the  south  pier,  and  opposite  to 
the  end  of  that  pier,  there  was  a  bar  with  shoal  wa- 
ter upon  it.  Jnst  inside  of  the  north  pier  the  depth 
of  water  in  the  cliaunel  was  151^  feet.  Prom  there 
to  a  point  a  long  distance  within  the  plozs  it  varies, 
but  the  depth  was  nowhere  leas  thnu  13*a  feet. 
Tlie  depth  tipou  the  bar  before  mentioned  was  nine 
and  a  half  feet.  The  brig,  at  the  time  o$  tlie  disaster, 
drew  10  feet.  The  wind  at  the  port,  was  north- 
westerly, and  was  a  light  breeze.  At  the  mouth  of 
the  harbor  ground  swells  came  in  from  the  lake. 
They  were  met  by  the  undertow  of  the  river.  This 
increasecl  the  commotion  of  the  waters.  The  highest 
swells  broke  over  the  end  of  the  south  pier,  which 
was  five  feet  above  the  ordinary  water-levet  This 
height  of  the  swells  was  due  to  tho  sliallowneas  of 
the  water  there.  The  Uarborma-ster  says  ia  his  tes- 
timony ;  "As  near  as  I  could  judge,  the  swells 
came      up    on    the    soutb    pier.        Qu    the    north 

flier  they  were  not  so  high.  The  south  pier 
s  where  the  shoal  water  is."  Speaking 
of  tho  oh-innol  hard  by  tho  nortli  pier, 
he  says :  "  I  should  think  there  was  about  half  the 
swell  there  tlwt  there  was  on  the  south  side  of  tho 
harbor."  Another  witness  (Roc..  pace,23.)  says  :  '■  I 
should  say  there  was  not  ov«r  20  Incnes  rise,  and  fall 
on  the  mean  levoL  "  Such  was  the  state  of  things  to 
be.  encountered  by  the  two  vessels  in  en- 
tering t^e  harbor  when  the  casuality  set 
forth  In  the  libel  occurred.  On  the  27th 
of  November,  1^69.  the  brig  left  the  port  of 
Suamico  with  a  cai\o  of  lumber  for  the  port  of  Ba- 
cine.  Sho  arrived  off  the  latter  port  about  noon  on 
the  30th  of  that  month,  and  at  once  signaled  for  tbe 
tug  to  come  out  and  tow  ber  in.  The  tug  obeyed  the 
signal.  When  she  reached  the  brig,  the  latter  waa 
lymg  about  a  mile  and  a  half  north-east  from  the 
mouth  of  the  harbor.  The  tug  approached 
the  brig  on  her  starboard  side.  The 
Captain  of  the  brig  inquired  of  the  Captein  of 
tbe  tug  whether  there  whs  "much  swell  on." 
The  latter  answered  "  Nd."  The  Captain  of  the  brig 
said  his  vessel  drew  10  feet  of  water.  At  the  same 
time  the  linesman  on  the  tug  called  for  a  line,  and  it 
was  handed  to  lilm  over  the  starboard  bow.  With 
reference  to  the  wind  where  the  vetiseis  then  were,  the 
Captain  of  the  brig  says  "  there  was  a  kind  <»f  a  dead 
swell;  there  was  no  sea  J  there  was  very  little  t/ind." 
On  these  poiut,s  there  is  no  controversy  between  the 
parties.  The  line  was  attached  t<i  the  starboard  side 
of  the  brig.  Subsequently  another  line  was  fastened 
to  the  port  side,  and  botli  lines  were  so  shortened  as 
to  bring  the  tug  and  the  tow  Into  close  proximity. 
'Fhere  is  an  irreconcUnble  conflict  iu  the  testimony  as 
to  the  time  when  the  second  line  was  applied  and 
when  the  lines  were  shortened.  The  result  was  that 
the  brig  broke  away  from  the  toff  and  was  stranded 
and  sunk.  The  decision  is  that  the  tug  knew  all  the 
dangers,  and  was  responsible  for  all  the  consequences. 
Aflirmed.  Mr.  Justice  Swayne  delivered  the  opinion.

Brown  rwovorod  judgment  March  30.  1875,  against 
the  City  of  Memphis,  direciinc  tlie  le^-y  of  a  tax  for 
his  benefit  upon  all  the  taxable  property  of  the  city. 
Under  the  laws  of  Tennessee,  taxable  personal  aud 
real  pn>perty,  other  than  merch;uits'  capital,  is  em- 
braced in  one  tex-Ust  and  merchants'  capital  in  an- 
otber.  In  March,  1876,  Brown  discovered  that  the 
Tax  Collector  was  collecting  the  t«x  levied  for  his 
account  on  personal  and  real  property,  but  not  ou 
merchants'  capital,  olthougli  the  city,  for  all  other 
purposes,  was  coHecting  a  tax  on  merchants'  capItsL 
It  appearing  that  the  tax  upon  the  persoual  and  real 
propertv  alone  would  uot  bo  sufficient  to  raise  the 
required  sum,  h  motion  was  m&dc  in  the  original 
suit  by  Brown  for  a  further  peremptery  mandamus 
requiring  the  city  to  include  in  the  property  to  be 
taxed  for  his  benefit  the  taxable  merotiante'  c^pijAl, 
as  returned  and  assessed  for  taxatiim  for  other  pur- 
poses in  the  year  1875.  This  motion  was  granted 
March  2,  1876,  and  a  judgment  entered  accordingly. 
Afterward,  during  the  same  term,  May  20,  the  city 
appeared  and  moved  the  court  to  set  a«ide  the 
order  of  March  2,  but  this  motion  was  refused 
and  that  order  re-entered  as  the  final  judgment 
of  the  court  In  the  premises.  On  the  same  day  a 
writ  of  error  was  sued  out  upon  this  last  judgment 
and  a  supersedeas  perfected.  Brown  now  moves  to 
dismiss  upon  t  lie  ground  that  the  judgm^it  of  March, 
1875,  is  tho  final  juclcmeut  in  the  action,  and  tliat 
the  onK-ra  of  Marcii  2  and  if oy  20,  1 876,  cannot  be 
ro-exonilneU  upon  a  writ  of  error.  If,  however,  it  Is 
held  tliat  the  writ  does  properly  bring  up  these 
orders,  then  he  asks  that  the  supersedes  may  be 
vacated,  as  the  juilgment  complained  of  was, 
as  he  claims,  rendered  March  2,  and  the  writ 
was  not  sued  out  within  GO  days  thereafter. 
We  think  that  the  order  made  upon  the  motion 
to  subject  merchants'  capitel  to  the  tex  waa  such  a 
final  judgmenv  as  may  be  bmoght  here  for  re-exaou- 
nation  by  a  writ  of  error.  Tho  preclie  question  de- 
cided by  that  order  had  never  before  been  presented 
iu  the  cause.  The  city  was  then  for  the  first  time 
required  in  express  terras  to  subject  thin  particular 
class  of  property  to  the  adjudced  taxation.  The 
writ  was,  therefore,  properly  sued  out-  upon  the 
judgment.  Under  the  ruling  in  Brockelrfc  vs.  Brock- 
ett,  2  How,,  241,  the  motion-  made  during  the  .terra 
to  Bet  aside  the  judgment  of  March  2  suspended'  "the 
operation  of  that  judgment,  so  that  it  did  not  teke 
final  effect  for  the  purposej*  of  a  writ  of  error  until 
May  20.  when  the  motion  was  disposed  of. 
In  addition  to  this  the  form  of  entry  of  May  20  Is 
equivalent  to  netting  aside  the  judgment  of  March  2, 
and  entering  It  anew  as  of  that  date.  This  the  eoort 
had  the  right  to  do  during  the  term,  (Sage  vs.  R. 
R..  93  U.  H..  419.)  and  for  the  very  purpose  of  giv- 
ing it  effort  for  a  supersedeas.  As  the  writ  was  is- 
sued on  the  day  of  the  order,  and  its  allowance  em-

TBE    GliOWTB   OF  ABAKDOXMEXT  CASES. 

Cases  of  abandonment  are  becoming  so  numer^ 
ous  In  the  Essex  Market  Court  that  Justice  Kilbroth 
remarked  to  a  reporter  yesterday  that  there  was  not  a 
husband  left  in  the  ward  against  whom  a  charge  had 
not  been  mado.  Soon  after  saying  this  he  listened  to 
the  recital  of  Lena  Shlllack's  grievances.  Her  story 
WRS  told  with  the  utmost  precision  and  coolness. 
She  bad  been  married  about  five  months,  during  the 
last  four  of  which  her  husband  had  failed  to  support 
her.  He  wa.s  a  butcher  by  trade,  bnt  did  no  business, 
and  was  continually  borrowing  money  from  her 
brother  and  others,  buying  goods  of  some  kind  toped- 
ille  in  the  country,  leaving  her,  meanwhile,  without 
money,  which  obliged  her  to  go  to  her  parente  for  food. 
From  these  trips  be  would  return  without  cither 
money  or  goods.  To  the.^  and  various  other  accusa- 
tions Jacob  auswered  that  he  was  not  o^y  willing 
but  anxious  to  support  his  wife.  The  whole  trouble 
lay  ill  the  mother-in-law.  with  whom  ahe  wanted  to 
live.  He  arose  early  every  morning  and  bou^t  two 
papers.  (German  and  English,)  and  searched  thom 
through  in .  his  frantic  efforts  to  obtain  work  His 
wife'would  be  wilUnff  to  see  him  steal  so  that  he  pro- 
vided her  with  all  the  money  she  wanted.  Recurring 
a^ain  to  his  experience  as  a  sou'in-law.  he  said : 
"Your  Honor,  I  ain't  the  flmt  Bpecimen.  There 
were  two  others  before  me  married  two  dan«:hter8  of 
hers,  and  they  had  to  take  a  broomsUck  and  beat  her 
out  of  the  house."  This  seemed  to  impress  the  court 
with  the  importance  of  the  case,  and  it  was  adjourned, 
for  further  hearing  till  Monday.  Jacob  being  charged 
to  continue,  in  the  interim,  devouring  his  two 
papers  and  to  fiud  work. 


TBE  ATLANTIC  MVTVAL  LIFE. 

Justice  Westbrook  has  rendered  the  following 
opinion  in  the  matter  of  the  Atlantic  Motnal  Life 
Insurance  Company.  nnnn-nt>i»ing  the  ajqxiintment  of 
a  Receiver : 

In  two  carefully  considered  opinions,  (McArdlo  vs. 
Barney  and  others,  50  How.,  97,  see  page  103, 104: 
in  the  matter  of  Carman,  Receiver  Third-Avenoe 
Savings  Bank,  50  How.,  22.)  the  propriety  of  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  Receiver  from  the  offleers  or  Direc- 
tors of  a  diseoWed  corporation  was  con- 
sidered, and  a  conclusion  adverse  to  the 
propriety  of  such  appomtment  waa  rextdered. 
Reflection  upon  applications  which  have  been 
made  to  me  In  this  mattor,  the  one  In  behalf  of  an 
oC5cer,  and  auother  of  a  Director,  has  satisfied  me 
that  the  conclusion  reached  in  the  cases  to  which  I 
have  referred  should  be  adhered  to.  I  do  not  know 
tliat  in  the  management  of  this  company  ta  the  paat 
anj-thiug  has  occurred  wbich  would  make  an  inquiry 
into  the  action  of  officers  or  Directors  necaaaary. 
Tliere  may  be,  however,  and  the  Receiver  wbo  is  to 
make  the  Investiccatlon  should  not  pass  judgment 
upon  his  own  conduct.  For  this  zeaaou,  then,  no 
officer  or  Director  of  the  company  cjui  be  appointed. 
In  tho  selection  of  the  Receiver  I  have  preferred  to 
name  for  the  position  a  person  whom  I  know  to  be 
QuaUfleil,  rather  than  one  with  whom  I  have  no  si>e-

friends,  in  whose  judgment  I  have  confidanee.  The 
Rejection  made  of  Mr.  Edward  Newoomb  ta  of  my

drew  platols  and  emptied  the  bamls  in  rapid  hurcr>j»« 
Kion  at  each  other.  They  then  cliii'thed.  and  imuudod 
each  other  over  the  head  with  their  empty  weapon*,

"•/  Our  special  cable  dispatches  to-day  reflect 
Snore  accurately  than  has  yet  been  done  the 
impression  made  on  the  leading  European 
Governments  by  the  recent  Kussian 
reverses.  They  also  show  that  the 
very  competent  correspondent  of  The 
Times,  who  early  in  the  struggle 
pointed  out  that  if  150,000  Russians  at- 
tempted to  force  the  second  line  of  Turkish 
defense  and  to  reach  Adrianople,  very  few 
of  them  would  be  able  to  return,  is  now  of 
opinion  that  the  s€'ries  of  battles  around 
Plevna  last  vineek  are  decisive  of  the  prospects 
of  the  campaign.  This  trained  observer 
gives  a  poor  estimate  of  the  quality  of  the 
Russian  soldiers,  and  a  still  poorer  one 
of  the  men  by  whom  they  are  led- 
His  critieism  on  the  blimdering  strategy 
of  the  Russian  Generals  has  been  am- 
ply verified  by  recent  event.s,  and  the 
Bnnonncement  which  comes  from  another 
correspondent  that  Gen.  Gourkho  has  been 
driven  to  the  northern  side  of  the  Balkans, 
instead  of  simply  retiring  a  Uttlo  from  the 
advanced  position  held  by  him,  affords 
sonfiimatiou  to  our  corresiKindent's  theory 
that  another  'j  campaign  will  be  need- 
ed, to  reach  .  Adrianople.  That  Russia 
must  fight  it  out  on  this  line  if  it  takes  two 
years,  is  tolerably  obvious.  Her  military 
prestige  has  suffered  a  shock  which  it  is  al- 
^nost  a  question  of  national  existence  for 
•her  to  retrieve,  and  the  very  last  resources 
of  the  Empire  will  undoubtedly  be  exhaust- 
ed beifore  she  can  submit  to  the  humiliating 
necessity  of  owning  herself  overmatched 
by/Turkey. 

'  'There  is  soqtething  more  than  usually 
mean  and  contemptible  in  the  style  of  war- 
fare adopted  by  the  Blaine  clique  of  politi- 
cians in  regard  to  Secretary  Schurz.  That 
set  has  not,  as  a  rule,  been  remarkable  for 
pursuing  politicswithatotal disregard  of  pe- 
ouniary  emolument,  and  if  its  members  have 
been  able  to  give  their  services  to  the  Na- 
tional Committee  free  of  expense,  it  has 
ibeea  in  virtue  of  their  command 
of  money  earned  by  methods  of 
which  they  have,  as  a  whole,  little  reason 
to  be  proud.  The  impartial  observer 
will  be  disposed  to  regaprd  the  poverty  which 
compelled  Mr.;  Schcpjs  to  take  payment  for 
ijs  campaign!  services  as  decidedly  more 
honorable  than  the  competency  wliich  placed 
Bkrewder  and  more  calculating  statesmen 
a)iove  the  necessity  of  making  any  such  de- 
mands. In  any  ease,  Mr.  Schurz  is  entitled 
"to  belief  when  he  states  that  his  campaign 
labors  latt  him  very  decidedly  out  of  pocket. 
As  a  general  thing,  the  political  experience 
of  the  PJlaine  school  has  been  quite  the  re- 
verse-of  this. 

The  text  of  the  requisition  made  by  Gov. 
"WliUAMS  for  Federal  aid  to  suppress  do- 
znefitio  violence  in  his  State  is  given  in  our 
■Washington  dispatches,  and  as  a  historical 
document  is^decidedly  curious.  This  dfeter- 
irdned  opponent  of  the  use  of  Federal  troops 
in  any  possible  contingency  of  State  affairs 
Nvas  among  the  most  urgent  of  the  Guber- 
natorial applicants  for  their  aid,  and  this 
rigorous  oonstruotionist  of  the  Constitution 
paid  the  least  possible  regard  to  the  forms 
to  be  observed  in  conveying  to  the  President 
hia  inability  to  preserve  the  peace  by  the 
forces  at  his  own  disposal.  Among  the 
political  humbugs,  of  oar  time,  there  has 
bardly  been  a  more  consummate  one  than 
'"Bine  Jeans  "  "WnxiAMS,  and  his  deplora- 
'ble  lack.of  the  qualities  required  in  the  Ex- 
ecativa  of  a  State  ought  to  be  a  lesson  to 
the  perople  who  expect  some  special  type  of 
public  virtue  from  the  politicians  who  affect 
a  mstio  simplicity  in  dress  and  deportment 
as  a  cloak  for  a  good  deal  of  vulgar  sohem- 
log  and  selfish  ambition.

to  enlarge  their  fun.'tioii,  :t  can  only  bel  bej- 
eause  its  advocates  surteed  in  hiding  their 
real  designs.  We  jaunot  hope  to  eliminate 
from  financial  discussion  the  tenns  "  credi- 
toil  interest "  and  "  debtor  interest,"  bujt 
surely  there  is  intelligence  enough  to  resitjt 
the  notion!  that  thcjo  interests  are  alpvays 
antagonistic,  and  tjlint  the  debtor  class  is 
made  np  mainly,  oE  ktiavjes.  The  hypoth- 
esis, absurd  and  disgraceful  as  it  is, 
underlies  the  advocacy  of  silver.  Starting 
with  the  fict  that  there  are  more  debtors 
than  creditors,  and  that  a  debtor  discharges 
his  indebtedness  with  the  currency  that  is 
most  cheaply  obtained,  it  is  assumed  that 
this  whole  class  may  be  relied  upon  to  sus- 
tain the  silver  movement.  So  far,  the  re- 
semblance to  the  greenback  faction  is 
complete.  I  Both  presuppo.se  that  in  a 
contest  between  honesty  and  dishonesty, 
the  latter  will  bo  found,  numerically, 
much  the  stronger.  The  greeubackers, 
however,  idespised  circumlocution.  They 
appealed  plainly  to  llie  basest  motives,  and 
proposed  to  legi.slate  a  large  percentage  of 
indebtedness  out  of  existence.  They  would 
have  so  cheapened  the  currency  as  to  ren- 
der the  pi^ooess  simjjle  and  sure.  The  silver 
people,  oih  the  other  jhand,  beat  about 
the  bnsi  a  good  deal,  keeping  put 
of  sight!  the  iultimajte  cooseqn^nces 
of  their  plan,  ami  trying,  after!  the 
manner  of  the  Republiciins  at  Cleveland,  to 
invest  it  with  characteristics  wi  ich  id  can- 
not possess.  The  only  chance  of  success  is 
in  the  ability  of  the  managers  t  o  play  suc- 
cessfully this  game  of  false  preteuses.  !  Let 
them  state  their  ease  bluntly,  as  the  green- 
backers  did,  and  their  capacity  for  mischief 
would  be  instantly  curtailed.  Ti  >  winj  they 
must  delude  the  cc^uutry  into  the  belief  that 
the  oonditlions  attached  to  their  proposition 
purge  it  from  all  taint  of  repudiation,  i 

Accepting  the  Cleveland  resoli  ition  ^s  the 
most  adtoit  evasion  of  the  rdal  issue  <yf  the 
silver  question,  it  becomes  necessary  to  keep 
before  the  public  |tho  wtarthlessiness  oi  the

tense that  the  Coinage  aet  of  1^78  wjas  an 
invasion  of  popular  rigjht  in  the  matter  of

the  operation  of  natnral  business  laws  long 
bSore  Congress  legislated  it  away.  The 
amount  of  silver  dollars  coined  never  had 
bepn  large,  and  what  there  were  of  them 
Ua^  passed  out  of  circulation.  Coin  contracts 
were  invariably  fulfilled  with  gold.  All  the 
talk  about  "  the  dollar  of  our  fathers "  is, 
then,  nonsense.  We  should  never  have 
lieard  of  it  had  not  events  changed  the  rela- 
tive value  of  the  two  coins,  and  thus  fur- 
nished a  dishonest  motive  for  the  reintro- 
dnction  of  silver  as  a  legal  ten'der.  But 
silver  and  gold  are  to  be  interchangeable, 
the  Ohio  wiseacres  say,  and  therefore  no  harm 
can  be  done  to  creditors.  Our  correspondent's 
reply  to  the  plea  should  shame  its  authors 
into  silence.  Left  to  the  natural  order  of 
things,  the  silver  coinage  would  soon  be  the 
only  coinage  known.  Gold  would  be,  as 
now,  an  article  of  merchandise,  and,  meas- 
ured by  the  world's  standard,  our  currency 
after  silver  resumption  would  fluctuate  pre- 
cisely as  at  present.  Suppose,  however, 
that  the  law-making  power  undertakes 
by  constant  tinkering  to  keep  the  gold 
dql]ar  and  the  silver  dollar  equal 
in  I  value.  Only  in  one  way  can 
it  I  !be  done.  The  gold  coinage  will  be 
subject  to  continnaLdebasement.  The  gold 
dollar  will  have  less  and  less  intrinsic  value. 
That  is  what  the  Ohio  plea  of  equalization 
mieans.  It  would  perpetuate  a  depreciated 
currency,  in  view  of  which  fact  Mr.  Sher- 
man might  spare  himself  further  trouble 
concerning  specie  resumption.  The  green- 
back as  now  quoted  in  the  market  is 
worth,  say,  ninety-five  cents,  and  as  a 
silver  dollar  of  the  old  standard  of  fineness 
and  weight  is  worth  only  about  ninety-one 
and  a  half  cents,  measured  by  gold,  we 
sliauld  be  better  off  witli  our  present  cur- 
rency than  with  the  silver  which  it  is  pro- 
posed to  legalize.  To  urge  it  as  an  aid  to 
resumption  is  to  ignore  our  own  financial 
history,  and  to  encourage  a  movement  which 
points  to  business  disaster  and  national  dis- 
grace. ' 

TBE  SITUATION  IX  BULGARIA. 

It  is  recorded  that  a  Russian  artillery  of- 
ficer of  the  old  school,  being  reprimanded  by 
hp  superior  for  the  inefficacy  of  his  fire, 
shewed  where  the  real  fault  lay  by  coolly 
piclking  np  a  lighted  shell  and  holding  it  in 
his  arms  while  the  ill-made  fuze  burned  it- 
self harmlessly  out.  A  similar  fate  has  be- 
fallen the  two  insurrections  from  which  so 
milch  was  expected.  The  pro-Russian  rising 
in  Bulgaria  has  collapsed  in  universal  panic ; 
.ano  of  the  anti-Russian  rising  in  the  Cau- 
casus, nothing  remains  save  the  6,000 
wejaried  Turks  whom  Hobart  Pasha  dragged 
on  board  of  his  squadron  the  other  day  just 
in  time  to  save  them  from  their  pursuers. 
In  neither  case  is  this  raortifj-ing  result  to 
be  wondered  at.  Despite  many  instances 
of  individual  bravery,  the  iron  of  op- 
pri!s.sion  has  entered  too  deeply  into 
Bulgaria's  soul  to  leave  her  much  of  the 
fierce  valor  that  shook  the  throne  of  the 
Coinneni ;  and  upon  the  natives  of  the  Cau- 
casus their  conqueror's  '•  Russianizing " 
policy  has  produced  its  natural  effect. 
Prince  Scheevasciiidzb,  the  representative 
of  one  of  the  oldest  Georgian  families,  sits 
at  a  desk  in  the  official  bureau  of  Baron 
X1C01.AI.  One  of  Schamyl's  own  sons  is  a 
subaltern  in  the  Russian  Army.  The  ex- 
Kiiig  of  Georgia  himself  may  bo  seen 
strolling  down  to  the  Russian  Club  at  Tiflis 
any  fine  afternoon,  with  a  tall  hat  on  and  a 
cigar  in  Ms  mouth ;  and  in  Vladi-Kavkaz 
or  Khasaf-Iourt,  your  partner  at  whist  or 
over  a  bottle  of  champagne  is  most  fre- 
quently a  tall,  slim,  black-haired,  handsome 
young  fellow,  whose  father  or  grandfather 
hewed  down  -n-ithout  mercy,  in  the  name  of 
Allah  and  the  Prophet,  the  very  race  among 
whom  their  descendant  is  now  a  chosen 
boon  companion. 

The  recent  reverse  which  the  Russian 
campaign  in  Europe,  like  that  in  Asia,  has 
suddenly  sustained  in  the  very  moment  ef 
its  eompletest  success,  bears  a  curious  par- 
allelism to  the  French  invasion  of  Germany 
in  1796.  Gen.  MoreaU  had  penetrated 
deep  into  the  enemy's  country  by  way  of 
tile  Black  Forest,  while  his  coUeague,  Gen. 
J0URD.4.N,  with  a  superior  force,  acted  as  a 
connecting  link  between  the  advance  guard 
and  its  military  bsise,  in  the  same  way  as 
the  Russian  Army  at  Tirnova.  But  the 
AK'hduke  Chabi.es,  of  Austria,  making  a 
flank  march  of  extraordinary  rapidity,  ef- 
fected a  junction  with  Gen.  Wabtenslebes, 
and  fell  suddenly  with  superior  forces  upon 
JoUBDAJf,  defeating  him  in  two  battles,  and 
throvring  hbn  back  upon  the  Rhine  with  the 
loss  of  nearly  a  third  of  his  army.  Mobeau  , 
thus  cut  off  from  his  supports,  and  left 
alone  in  the  midst  of  a  hostile  territory, 
gallantly  forced  his  way  through  the  eon- 
verging  columns  which  attempted  to  inter- 
cept him,  and  effected  a  retreat  of  200 
miles  in  safety,  though  not  without  loss. 
Whether  a  similar  experience  awaits  the 
Russian  commanders  beyond  the  Balkan  re- 
mains to  be  seen  ;  but  they  are  not  men  to 
let  it  overtake  them  unresisting.  Gen. 
GocBKHo's  dashing  gallantry  has  proved  him 
well  worthy  of  the  ancient  Cossack  name  he 
bears ;  and  those  who  have  seen  Prince 
MiRSKi  at  work  in  his  cabinet  at  Tiflis,  or 
erect  in  his  saddle  on  the  parade-ground, 
with  the  firmness  of  the  trained  soldier  in  his 
lean,  bro^vn,  thick-mustached  face,  will  at 
l^ast  give  him  credit  for  sufficient    energy, 

hether  he  be  an  able   strategist  or  not. 

The  Turkish  occupation  of  Selvi,  lying-  di- 
rectly upon  one  of  the  two  routes  to  the 
Schipka  Pass,  midway  between  Tirnova  on 
the  east  and  Loftcha  on  the  west,  is  a  se 
rious  matter  for  the  Russians ;  and  had  the 
Tfurks  been  strong  enough  to  follow  up  this 
success  with  a  vigorous  blow  at  the  disor- 
ganized masses  between  Tirnova  and  Biela, 
tiere  would  have  been  an  end  of  the  ad- 
vance upon  Adrianople  for  this  year  at  least 
But,  as  it  is,  the  defeat  at  Plevna  is  nothing 
more  than  a  sharp  cheek.  A  superior  force, 
with  a  week's  respite,  can  recover  from  any 
reverse  wiieh  stops  short  of  absolute  de- 
struction. Gen.  Zimmeeman's  troops,  and 
the  reinforcements  from  Ploiesti,  will  soon 
swell  the  Russian  Army  to  more  than  its 
former  strength,  while  the  demonstrationa 
now  making  in  Armenia,  against  Pennek, 
Ardonnsch,  and  Batoum,  distract  the  atten- 
tion and  divide  the  forces  of  Turkey. 
That  tlie  latter  is  herself  in  son 
straits  is  sufficiently  proved  by  the  ' 
per  cent."  reduction  of  official  salaries, 
llhe  withdrawal  of  troops  fi'om  the  Blac 
Sea,  and  the  draining  of  Constantinople  t 
reinforce  the  Army  of  Bulgaria.  Russia's 
crowning  error,  from  first  to  last,  has  boenl 
want  of  concentration  ;  but  she  has  stil 
time  to  repair  her  mistake,  if  she  will.  Thd

A  BjtDICAL  BEFORM. . 

Itks  to  be  supposed  that  Secretary  Thomp- 
I  ION  appreciates  the  magnitude  of  the  task  he 
:  las  lundertaken  when  he  promises  to  build 
:  ihip^  as  [iheaply  in  the  Government  yards  as 
hey  can  be  biult  by  private  citizens.  The 
Secretary  is  understood  to  be  a  man  distin- 
piished  for  slilrewd  common  sense.  But  it 
s  not  oectain  |  that  he  wUl  be  able  to  over- 
iomp  all  the  difficulties  in  the  way  of  con- 
luo&ig  a  department  of  the  Government 
'on  bujSnes^i  principles."  Such  a  reform 
woujd  be  Imorj)  radical  than  any  now  con- 
remplated  by 'any  pubUe  officer.  If  it  can 
tie  apcomplishlsd  in  one  branch  of  the  public 
serVJee,  it  ca|ii|  be  in  all  of  them.  Of 
jourse,  we  must  premise  that  Con- 
gress will  gifknt  the  money  needed  to 
paylfor  the  ships  which  we  need  to  make 
jurs  a  oomplete  Navy.  The  question  is  not 
aOT^  as  t6>  building  the  ships  at  all,  but  as  to 
toic'theyl  shall'  be  built.  If  obstruetionists 
and  frugal  persons  in  Congress  are  able  to 
stop  suppUeSy  I  the  Secretary's  patriotic 
scheme  for  an  economical  Navy  will  come 
to  naught.  If  he  gets  the  money,  he  will 
have  a  big  job  on  his' hands  when  he  at- 
tempts to  Ihave  it  used  by  his  subordinates 
and,i  contractiws  just  as  prudently  as  Mr. 
Ro-ACH,  for  e  cample,  might  expend  a  like 
sum  in  his  estivlilishmeut  at  Chester,  Penn. 
In  ffict,  the  p:  pbability  is  that  even  so  good 

business  miti  as  the  shipwright  above 
mentioned  wculd  come  to  grief  if  he  essayed 
the  management  of  as  many  separate  estab- 
lishments as  those  under  control  of  the 
Navy  Departr.^nt.  The  very  extent  of  the 
service  seems  to  make  waste  ima voidable. 

Qf  eonrse,  '  ve  take  it  for  granted  that 
everybody  kr  aws  that  Government  opera- 
tions everywhere  are  more  expensively  man- 
aged than  pri  r  i,te  bu.siness  affairs.  It  is  as 
tru*,  of  j  I  put  lie  works  in  Great  Britain, 
France.j  and  Itussia,  as  in  the  United  States. 
Aside  fiSotn  tli  s  fact  tliat  there  must  be  waste 
by  the  dishoile3t  use  of  materials,  and  the 
employment  ( if  men  who  do  not  earn  any 
wages  whate;  Sr,  it  is  true  that  Government 
workman  arei  ]6t  "  driven  "  as  private  con- 
traetora'  men  are,  and  that  the  materials  ac- 
tually used  a  's  generally  the  most  costly 
in  the  markst.  If  we  take  New-York 
City  as  an  example  of  the  trutli  of  this  state- 
ment, we  sffaijl  see  indifferent  work  at  fabu- 
lous prices,  and  a  degree  of  inefficiency  in 
maiiagamentiwhich  is  unknown  in  national 
affairs.  If  itbe  immense  sums  annually 
spent  by  the  JJiavy  Department,  for  instance, 
had  been'  laioi  out  as  the  City  funds  have 
been,  our  IocmI  disgrace  would  have  been  a 
world-wide  one.  At  this  moment,  the  shabby 
condition  of  |  parks,  streets,  and  squares  in 
this  City,  cosjjiug  as  much  as  they  have  done, 
is  a  perpetual  iremiuder  of  the  reckless  man- 
agement pf  Cllty  affairs.  But  it  is  not  neces- 
sa%  to  make,  b.ny  comparisons.  Everybody 
adiilits  that  m  is  expected  that  '•  the  Gov- 
ernment"— City,  State,  or  National — will 
pay;the  highest  wages  and  get  tlie  least  for 
its  money  5f!iBny  customer  in  the  market. 
-As'a  rule,  it  will  be  also  admitted,  however, 
thdt  thi!  quality  of  work  turned  out^-  the 
Naftiouiil  Government  is  first-rate  of  its  kind. 

3}<!oto;"iou3ly,  the  greatest  difficulty  in  the 
wajy  Of  a  thoiipughly  economical  administra^ 
tion  of  any  department  of  public  work  is 
summei  up  lOn  one  word — politics.  In  re- 
spect o  E  navy-yards  politics  have  much  to 
answer  for,  not  only  for  maladministration 
of  iJffai  ra,  but  for  needless  multiplication  of 
esti»blb;hmeni3.  !\\'hen  the  Secretary  gets 
at  the  '  vork  <  f  banishing  polities  from  the 
naViy-yirds  t  he  trouble  will  begin.  Polities 
have  leen  intrenched  in  the  navy-yards

Deiittoe  n»tic,!  and  I  Republican.  AiVhen  Bu-

with  roference  to  the  immediate  needs  of 
the  ccntrolling  politicians.  These  abuses 
are  alriost  as  old  as  the  Government  itself. 
Ppssiblly  they  are  less  prevalent  now  than  in 
former  years.  But  they  will  be  found  most 
formidable  in  any  attempt  at  reorganization. 
Senattrs  anil  Congressmen  will  not  give  up

struggle.  And  until  they  do  give  them  up, 
the  national  work  will  be  more  costly  than 
any  privat^ ;  work.  But,  for  all  that,  tlie 
Secretary  of  the  Navy  will  be  heartily 
applauded  by  the  public  in  his  proposed  re-

j  TBE  RAOE  FOR  ILLUSTRATION'S. 

Thajt  men  are  but  children  of  a  larger 
growth  would  seem  to  be  borne  out  by  their 
fbndneSs  for  pictures.  Children  learn  to 
read  by  the  aid  of  pictures,  and  men  are  in- 
duced a,t  present  to  read  by  the  same:  agen- 
cy. '  "I'here  lire  those  who  can  scarcely  be 
brought  to  look  at  a  book  which  is  not  illus- 
tifated.  i  DUiptration  is  so  much  a  part  of 
book-inakingi  in  these  days  that  publishers 
avail  themselves  of  it  to  the  utmost.  Not 
oiily  are  novels,  accounts  of  travel,  and  all 
light  works  illustrated,  but  also  books  of 
reference,  Use  dictionaries,  cyclopaadias,  and 
galzqtteters.  Popularity  is  identified  with  il- 
lustration, without  which  almost  any  work 
designed  foij  the  many,  whatever  its  valiie, 
runs  serious;!  risk  of  failure.  Good  wood  en- 
gravings— and  many  of  them  are  e.^ce  client, 
for  w^  have  improved  vastly  in  this  art  in 
the  United  States — add  greatly  to  the  in- 
terest of  printed  matter  for  the  majority  of 
readers.  The  comparatively  few  indifferent 
to  them  cai^ot  be  taken  into  account  by 
pnblisl^ers,  I  who  naturally  appeal  to  the 
ayeiygdl  taste,  and  find  their  profit  in  so 
(ioingTij      I        J 

But  illustration  may  be  carried  too  far,  as 
itfrequentllf  is  liow,  being  employed  in  many 
instances  to  relieve  letter-press  of  a  very 
poor  chaHuiter.  Not  seldom  a  cheap  pub- 
lisher, knowing  the  attractiveness  of  pictures, 
jints  worthless  books  upon  the  market,  copi- 
ously illustrated,  as  he  announces,  and  ef- 
fects a  large  sale  by  such  means.  The  poor 
pictures  help  the  poor  letter-press,  and  a 
aonil;inati(i|i|i  of ;  Doverty  produces,  jjaradoxi- 


B»=B 


cally,  a  certain  kind  of  riolmeas  for  hin.  It 
is  not  pictures  of  fidelity  or  artistic  merit 
which  the  general  public  wants  so  much  as 
pictures  of  some  kind.  Give  it  these  in  suf- 
ficient quantity,  and  it  is  content  to  accept 
whatever  may  accompany  them.  Their 
original  purpose — ^to  elucidate  and  embellish 
the  text — ^has  been  entirely  departed  from, 
the  text  having  been  made  subsidiary  to 
them,  when  they  should  be  subsidiary  to  it. 
Hence  it  happens  that  many  persons  have 
become  prejudiced  against  illustrated  works, 
believing  that  these  are  relying  on  mere- 
tricious aids  for  purchasers.  Nor  will  they 
dismiss  their  prejudice  until  they  have 
critically  examined  the  letter-press  and 
foimd  it  up  to  their  standard.  — 

Some  of  the  subscription  publishers  (the 
difference  between  the  subscription  and  the 
regular  trade  is  that  in  the  latter  people 
buy  books  who  want  them,  and  n  the  former 
people  buy  who  do  not  want  them, )  are  so 
reckless  in  their  manner  of  illustration  as  to 
be  comical.  Their  patrons  baing  amongthe 
multitude,  mainly  in  the  small  towns,  vil- 
lages, and  agricultural  regions,  prefer  pic- 
tures to  anything  else,  and  vrill  have  them. 
A  subscription  firm  never  thinks  of  getting 
out  a  work  without  illustrations,  and  as  sub- 
scription firms  are  often  more  practical  than 
conscientious,  and,  moreover,  have  little 
surplus  capital,  they  are  prone  to  introduce 
pictures  irrespective  of  exactness  or  merit. 
Their  customers  not  being  fastidious,  nor  of 
an  inquiring  mind,  receive  what  is  offered 
without  hesitation  or  skepticism,  holding 
that  a  picture  is  a  picture,  and  that  the 
worst  or  falsest  one  is  better  than  none. 

Not  long  ago  a  subscription  house  got  out 
an  illustrated  work  on  the  East.  Wanting 
a  representation  of  one  of  the  giant  cedars 
on  Mount  Lebanon,  and  not  having  any 
cedars  on  hand,  it  substituted  therefor.  tBTe 
Charter  Oak  at  Hartford,  and  the  trick  es- 
caped detection.  On  another  occasion,  it  is 
said,  that  in  an  illustrated  volume  of  the 
theological  order  an  old  cut  of  the  Matter- 
horn  was  compelled  to  do  duty  for  Mount 
Ararat,  and  an  Erie  Canal-boat,  with  some 
alterations,  was  put  forward  as  a  facsimile 
of  Noah's  Ark.  There  has  been  no  end  to 
the  pictorial  deception  put  off  upon  pious 
folk,  who  have  received  it  in  a  reverent,  and 
therefore  an  unquestioning,  spirit.  Cuts  of 
common  New-England  gardens  have  befen 
paraded  in  place  of  Gethsemane,  and  Mount 
Holyoke  in  place  of  the  Mount  of  Olives. 
Ancient  blocks  used  in  school  geographies 
are  reputed  to  have  rendered  service  in  de- 
picting Biblical  scenes  to  which  they  had 
not  the  remotest  allusion.  Thus  the  noted 
Ruins  of  Palmyra,  familiar  to  every  child  of 
the  past  generation,  has  gone  into  books  as 
Sodom  and  Gomorrah  before  they  were  de- 
stroyed by  fire  from  heaven,  according  to 
the  Scriptural  account,  and  became  the 
Buried  Cities  of  the  Plain.  Sacred  history 
is  in  this  manner  belied,  because  nothing 
like  a  description  of  those  cities  has  ever 
been  given,  nor  has  any  trace  of  them  been 
discovered  by  curious  archaeologists.  . 

Some  subscription  publishers  of  the  un- 
regenerate  kind  are  imderstood  to  have 
taken  unwarranted  liberties  with  their  fel- 
low-countrj-men.  Two  or  three  years  since 
a  publishing-house  issued  a  trashy,  sensa- 
tional volume,  claiming  to  be  the  lives  of 
notorious  criminals  during  the  last  half 
century.  Any  blanks  in  the  careers  of  the 
culprits  were  filled  np  with  imaginary  hor- 
rors, and  all  their  misdeeds  were  grossly  ex- 
aggerated, in  order  to.  present  the  lovers  of 
such  refined  and  ennobling  literature  with 
the  most  highly-spiced  morsels.  When  the 
manuscript  was  finished  and  the  proper  il- 
lustrations were  looked  for,  it  was  found 
that  only  a  certain  number  of  the  scoun- 
drels' likenesses  were  obtainable.  The 
question  was  to  supply  their  places  with 
assumed  portraits  that  would  not  betray  the 
cheat.  -After  considerable  search,  an  old 
volume,  long  out  of  print,  of  biographies  of 
evangelical  clergymen  of  a  bygone  day, 
with  portraits,  was  opportunely  discovered. 
These  were  coarse  wood-cuts,  and  so  wretch- 
edly done  that  it  seemed  to  the  publisher  that 
they  would  pass  current  for  villains  of  the 
deepest  dye.  The  work  was  issued,  and  as 
it  was  extensively  advertised  as  a  moral 
publication — ^to  warn  the  young  from  the  bfe^ 
ginning  of  vice,  and  so  forth — it  fell  into 
the  hands  of  many  orthodox  people,  who 
had  no  difficulty  in  reading  the  characters 
of  the  rascals  by  'their  utterly  depraved 
counteq^nces.  Before  long  some  of  the 
readers  detected  the  likeness  between  the 
criminals  and  certain  aged  preachers  still 
lingering  on  this  earthly  stage.  Disedvery 
after  discovery  was  made,  and  finally  the 
whole  fraud  was  revealed ;  but  the  exposure, 
it  is  asserted,  only  increased  the  sale  of  the 
noxious  book. 

This  and  the  other  instances  cited  are  ex- 
treme cases,  it  must  be  admitted  ;  but  they 
show  the  rage  for  illustration,  and  how  the 
public  confidence  is  liable-to  be  abused.  Poor 
or  unfaithful  pictures  are  far  worse  than  none, 
since  they  contribute  alike  to  false  taste  and 
vulgar  curiosity.  The  passion  for  illustra- 
tions merely  as  such,  and  as  exhibited  in 
many  books,  periodicals,  and  newspapers,  is 
unfortunate  and  unwholesome,  and  needs 
curbing.  The  correction  is  coming  from 
honest  illustrations  of  a  superior  order,  but 
coming  much  more  slowly  than  might  be 
Tv-ished.

lb  theSditorcfl^  Ifew-Tork  naiet  : 

At  the  recent  convention  of  the  Ohio  Re- 
publicans the  following  resolntion  was  adopted : 
Retdtred,  That  we  are  in  favor  of  both  silver  and 
gold  as  money,  that  both  shall  be  a  legal  tender  for 
the  payment  of  all  debts,  except  where  otherwise 
specially  provided  by  law,  with  coinage  and  valua- 
tion so  regulated  that  our  people  shall  not  be  placed 
at  a  disadvantage  with  foreign  nations,  and  that  both 
metals  shall  be  put  in  circulation  as  the  money  of  the 
nation,  as  contemplated  by  the  Constitution,  and 
therefore  demand  tne  remonetization  of  silver. 

This  resolution  has  the  quality  so  often  pos- 
sessed by  the  declarations  made  by  political 
conventions.  It  may  mean  one  thing  and  it 
may  mean  another.  It  will  doubtless  l>e  inter- 
'preted  to  suit  widely-varying  opinions  and  in- 
terests. There  were  some  shrewd  politicians  in 
the  convention,  and  I  suspect  that  some  of 
these  saw  that  the  qualifications  and  conditions 
inserted  would  prove  fatal  to  the  avowed  pur- 
pose of  the  resolution. 

There  are  two  classes  of  persons  persistently 
advocating  the  "remonetization  of  silver." 
One  consists  of  those  directly  or  indirectly  in- 
terested in  silver  mines,  who  hope  by  the  meas- 
ure to  increase  the  price  of  their  product.  The 
other  consists  of  debtors  who  desire  additions 
to  the  volume  of  the  circulating  medium  be- 
cause they  trill  tend  to  raise  the  pricesof  lands  and 
commodities,  thus  increasing  the  nominal  value 
of  their  assets,  while  their  liabilities  remain  at 
the  same  figure.  The  miner  wishes  to  exchange 
his  silver  for  a  larger  gold  value ;  the  debtor  to 
pay  his  debt  in  a  smaller  gold  value.  This  is 
the  pith  and  marrow  of  the  whole  agitation  of 
the  subject. 

A  great  outcry  has  been  made  against  the  de- 
monetization of  silver  effected  by  '*  the  Coinage 
act  of  1873,''  and  it  has  been  charged  that  it 
was  done  to  favor  the  holders  xif  United  States 
bonds,  and  without  mature  consideration  and 
discussion.  The  history  of  the  legislation 
shows  conclusively  that  there  is  not  a  shadow 
of  foundation  for  such  charges ;  but  that,  on 
the  contrary,  the  subject  was  thoroughly  dis- 
cussed by  thos«  officers  of  the  executive  branch 
of  the  Government  to  whom  it  properly  be- 
longed to  consider  it ;  by  committees  of  the  two 
bouses  -fit  Congress,  and  by  the  Senate  and 
House  of  Representatives.  Had  it  not  been  for 
the  depreciation  in  the  value  of  silver  we  should 
probably  have  never  heard  anything  from  the 
debtor  class  on  this  subject  The  demand  for 
its  remonetization  is  stimulated  by  the  same 
spirit  as  that  which  has  resisted  all  efforts  to 
contract  the  circulation  and  to  resume  specie 
payments.  The  high  prices  and  the  flush  times 
of  the  years  from  1862  to  1872  are  fondly  re- 
membered by  those  who  have  mortgages  on 
their  lands,  and  they  believe  that  every  measure 
of  contraction  is  inimical  to  their  interests,  as 
every  one  of  expan-sion  is  favorable  to  them. 
Silver  is  cheaper  relatively  than  gold.  To  pay 
a  debt  with  silver  dollars  of  the  old  weight  and 
fineness  is  easier  than  to  pay  it  with  gold  dol- 
lars. Therefore  they  say,  give  us  the  silver 
"  dollar  of  our  fathers."  When  the  "  doUar  of 
our  fathers''  was  authorized,  it  was  made  to 
contain  37II4  grains  of  pure  silver,  because 
that  weight  of  pure  silver  was  in  exchangeable 
value  equal  to  one-tenth  of  an  eagle.  The  ratio 
of  gold  to  silver  was  then  about  sixteen  to  one. 
From  1834  to  1872  that  ratio  was  only  slightly 
varied.  It  was,  in  1873,  15.91  to  1 ;  it  was 
15.19  to  1  in  1859.  These  were  the  limits  of 
the  annual  average  ratio.  Xo  very  serious  in- 
jury to  the  right  of  debtor  or  creditor  could 
occur  by  the  indiscriminate  use  of  the  gold  and 
silver  dollars  during  that  period.  Tet  the  silver 
dollar  was  at  no  time  between  1834  and  1873 
worth  less  than  the  gold  doUsr,  but,  on  the  con- 
trary, exceeded  the  value  of  the  latter  by  a  sum 
varying  from  one-ftfth  of  1  cent  to  53^  cents. 
Nearly  all  those  years  its  excess  of  value  was 
sufficient  to  keep  it  out  of  the  circulation  and 
consign  it  to  the  melter's  pot,  or  sand  it  out  of 
the  country.  Hence,  though  by  statute  the 
silver  dollar  was  a  legal  tender  equally  with  the 
gold  coins,  in  practice  the  latter  were  the  only 
metallic  circulation  in  general  use  except  in  in- 
significant sums.  "  Our  fathers,"  therefore, 
did  not  have  '*  the  dollar  of  our  fathers." 

Let  silver  be  now  remonetized,  and  the 
weight  of  the  dollar  be  retained  at  its  old  figure, 
and  coined  of  the  same  fineness,  namely,  412if2 
grains  at  the  standard  of  900  thousandths,  and 
the  operation  of  the  same  immutable  law  'will 
fill  the  channels  of  commerce  with  the  silver 
coin  as  currency  and  expel  the  gold  coins. 
Why  ?  Because  silver  is  now  relativtly  to  gold 
only  as  1  to  17.48  or  thereabouts,  &afl.  the  sil- 
ver dollar  of  412I2  grains  stani 
only  about  91^2  cents  gold  valui 
body  use  a  dollar  of  gold  when  a  coin  of  silver 
yl.2  per  cent,  less  valuable  will  serve  the  same 
purpose !  If  an  obligation  calling  for  a  legal 
lenaer  of  $100  can  be  satisfied  by  paying  in 
gold  or 'silver  dollars,  will  anybody  hesitate  to 
pay  the  silver  when  he  can  procure  the  requisite 
sum  with  $ijl  50  in  gold  t  The  question  an- 
swers itself. 

If  the  weights  of  the  gold  and  silver  dollars 
are  respectively  fixed  in  exact  proporiion  to 
tb^  exchangeable  value,  then  the  two  coins 
can  be  made  to  circulate  side  by  side.  But  in- 
asmuch aa  the  relative  values  of  the  two  metals 
are  constantly  changing,  and  must,  from  the 
very  nature  of  things,  constantly  change,  there 
must  be  frequent  readjustments  of  their  weights 
or  wrong  will  be  done  to  debtor  or  creditor  in 
the  fiJiillment  of  the  conditions  of  contracts. 
The  moment  silver  rises  in  exchangeable  value, 
the  silver  coin  called  a  dollar  must  be  cut  down 
to  equalize  it  with  the  gold  coin,  or  the  gold 
coin  must  be  made  heavier  to  equalize  it  with 
the  silver  dollar.  One  process  or  the  other  is 
the  only  possible  means  of  retaining  in  the 
circulation  l>oth  coins.  The  cutting  down 
process  is  that  which  will  always,  in  practice,  be 
adopted.  'Let.xis  suppose  the  exchangeable 
value  of  the  two  metals,  at  the  time  the  weight 
of  the  equal  coins  of  each  is  fixed,  to  Iw  10  to  1, 
as  it  was  when  the  dollar  of  1837  was  author^ 
ized.  Then  let  us  suppose  that  the  ratio  of  the 
respective  values  of  gold  ^  and  silver  changes 
from  time  to  time,  as  indicated  in  tbe  left  baud 
colutun  of  the  table  below.  The  secoud  and 
third  columns  will  show  the  successive  changes 
rendered  necessary  in  the  weight  of  pure  metal 
in  the  gold  and  silver  dollar  by  the  change  iu 
the  relative  values  of  the  two  metals,  iu  order 
that  the  coins  may  be  kept  of  equal  exchange- 
able value.

"WTien  the  ratio  changed  to  19  to  1  the  gold 
dollar  was  worth  the  most.  Hence  it  was  t.ut 
down' to  19  5-10  grains.  When  silver  again 
rose  in  value  .so  that  it  was  to  gold  as  13  to  1 
the  silver  ddU^r  Viecame  wonh  the  most ;  hence 
it  was  cut  down  to  iiSSLi-grains,  and  so  on. 

"^'e  began  with  a  silver  dollar  of  1^1 14 
grains  and  a  gold  dollar  of  23  2-10  grains- 
We  ended  with  a  silver  dollar  of  151  2-10 
grains  and  a  gold  dollar  of  9  4;j-100  grains. 
Every  change  has  been  made  for  the  purpose  of 
equalizing  the  two  coins  in  value,  the  only  con- 
dition on  which  they  can  be  maintained  in  cir- 
culation side  by  side.  The  pr6cess  has  been  ef- 
fected by  leveling  down  ;  the  history  of  coin 
legislation  rarely  if  ever  has  furnished  an  in- 
stance of  the  readjustment  of  values  of  coins  by 
leveling  up. 

This  process  of  readjustment,  which.  I  re- 
peat, is  an  absolute  nei;essity  so  often  us  anj- 
considerable  change  in  the  relative  values  of 
silver  and  gold  occui-fc,  if  it  be  intended  to  keep 
both  in  circulation,  results  in  frittering  awuy, 
stcji  by  step,  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  circu- 
lating medium.  First,  one  coin  is  clipped,  then 
tbe  other,  till  only  on  in.sigmiCcant  fraction  of 
OUT  original  money  unit  remains  in  either.

gold  dollar  of  30  5-10  grains. 

However  generous  and  chivalrous  this  lottei; 
processof  equalization  of  the  coinsmightbe  ina 
debtor  government,  it  is  scarcely  within  the  limi 
its  of  the  most  sanguine  hope  that  it  will  over  be 
adopted.  Debasement  of  the  coin  has  been* 
common  fact  in  the  history  of  nations,  and  the 
creditor  class  have  of  necessity  always  been  the 
sufferers  by  it. 

If  it  be  said  that  the  results  r^nchod  in  out 
hypothetical  caie  are  t>eyond  the  limi'.s  of  prob; 
ability,  and  that  rhanire'*  of  so  great  extent  iii 
the  ratio  of  relative  values  of  gold  and  silvei 
cannot  "oe  reasonably  espected,  the  answer  is^ 
first,  that  this  does  tiot  impeach  the  soundnest 
of  the  reasoning;  and.  seconcUv-.  that  even 
■wider  differences  liave  be**n  observed  in  the  past 
and  are  .quite  possible  in  the  future.  Wh» 
would  have  predicted  in  1831  that  within  less 
than  50  years  silver  would  become  35  per  cent, 
less  valuable  relativelv  to  gold  than  it  then  wa."  p 
In  the  beginnidg  of  the  seventeenth  ceumry  it 
fell  to  one-third  of  its  \-aiue  a  shoi^  time  previf 
ous.  In  1781  13  l-'-J  ounces  of  silver  were 
eqtial  in  value  to  one  ounce  of  gold;  in  1874 
(July)  it  required  20  17- UK)  ounces  of  .silver  tc.- 
equal  in  value  one.ounce  of  gold.  At  the  latter* 
date  the  silver  dollar  was  worth  only  al>out  79 
cents  in  gold. 

These  Urge  fiucroatin™!  in  value  are  p<ts.«rfble, 
considerable  lluci  uations  are  sure,  and  the  re- 
adjustments as  frequently  made  a.-^  the  con- 
siderable changes  occur,  are  ihe'ro/Kiifio  simt 
qui  non  of  the  contemporaneous  circulation  oj! 
both  gold  and  silver  aoins.  The  reai^justment 
by  leveling  down  makes  the  creditor  .suffer  ill 
The  same  way  a?  if  the  coins  paid  to  hiul  -.vetta 
clipped;  the  readjustment  by  leveling  np  in- 
creases the  debtor's  Ijability  beyond  the  limits 
of  equity.  TW;  point  may  be  made  by  th» 
advocates  of  the  double  standard  '  that 
we  had  it  for  forty  years,  and  that 
none  of  thew  i^readjustrnents  were  mad^ 
But,  as  Wfi-s  paid  earlier  in  this  article, 
the  silver  dollar  was  practxaliy  driven  out  ol 
the  circulation,  and  gold  was  the  real  standard 
Introduce  the  same  silver  dollar  n*w.  and  tiiii 
would  become  the  real  stuudard  and  gold  wotjld  , 
disappear  except  as  merchandise.  'The  same  1 
law  would  govern,  namelv,  that  the  chear»er 
and  poorer  circulating  mc-tlium  e.^oels  tbe  deAJ--  . 
er  and  better.  In  tlfis  case  it  is  not  -  the  fittest 
that  survives.  1 

It  is  -scarcely  necessary  to  say  that  the  ^K>lJiii( 
which  would  enable  the  tiovemment  or  otlje'r  ^' 
debtors  to  pay  debts  by  a  sum  less  than  tnit 
which  the  true  import  of  the  contract  calls  for 
is  not  honest-  Our  national  debt  calls  for  "dol- 
lars." and  the  meaning  of  that  word  was  strictly 
defined  in  the  public  liilnd  from  1»34  to  1B73. 
even  while  the  silver  dollir  wa>  legal  tender,  as 
the  equivalent  ot  one-tenth  of  the  eagle.  There 
were  not,  probably,  2.500.000  silver  dollars  in 
esisteace,  of  American  coinage,  a*,  the  'ocginning 
of  the  late  relieliion.  Xulx-uy  made  any  calcu- 
lation of  receiving  or  paying  them.  Silver 
and  gold  both  have  oeen  merchandise  only  for 
15  ytiars,  except  where  their  paynienrhas  been 
expressly  stipulated  in  contracts.  Had  silver 
dollars  been  in  fact,  as  they  were  in  law.  the 
measure  of  value  wiiile  our  debts  in  coin  were 
contracted,  there  might  be  some  excuse  for  as- 
suming that  tbe.nationa!  coin  obligations  should 
be  canceled  by  their  use  in  payment.  It  might 
be  said  with  some  reason  that  the  public  creditor 
should,  in  common'  with  others,  .suffer  the  natu- 
ral depreciation  of  the  coins  in  which  by  the  letter 
of  the  law  he  might  iSe  paid.  But  when  we  con- 
sider that  at  the  time  our  first  war  loan  was 
contracted,  after  the  opening  of  the  rettellion, 
there  were  scarcely  any  Anicrican  silver  dollars 
in  the  country,  and  that-  the  average  anrntal 
coinage  of  silver  dollars  from  ISS^  to  1S73. 
inclusive,  was  less  than  350.000,  the  pretense 
that  the.Govcrtunent  expected  to  pay.  or  the 
Government  creditor  expected  to  receive,  silver 
dollars  in  payment  of  the  principal  or  interest 
of  the  bonds  'oeconies  aboard. 

The  truth  of  the  whole  matter  seems  to  be 
that  the  two  metahs  can  not  in  practice  be  htJid 
as  standards  at  the  same  time-,  but  that  the  one 
relatively  cheaper  will  *xpel  the  other :  aad  that 
the  cry  for  the  remonetization  of  silver  is  simrily 
a  demand  for  the  legal  ^auction  of  tbe  repudia- 
tion of  a  greater  or  lfci»s  proportion  uf  every  coin 
contract.  A.  B.

To  Vie  BdittfT  of  thf  Sne-  York  Tinus  .-  i 

The  net  income  of  the  Metropolitan  (nn- 
derground)  Railway  for  the  six  months  ending 
Jtine  30,  was  £199,533,  being  at  the  rate  of 
about  $2,000,000  per  year.  This  was  5  per 
cent,  on  the  capital  but  the  u.sual  dividend  &t 
the  rate  of  4io  per  cent,  was  declared.  There 
had  been  an  increase  of  1,500.000  passengeirs 
over  the  correspomling  half  year,  a  rate  of  in- 
crease that  had  been  going  on  for  10  yeara- 
Thls  mere  increase,  it  may  be  oberved.  Is  great- 
er than  all  the  passengers  on  w'uat  is  called  tt' 
rapid  transit  railway  of  this  City. 

The  line  is  being  continually  extended  fii 
therinto  the  city,  necessarily  increasing  Ae 
capital  accoimts;  but  within  a  few  years  the 
company  has  paid  off  £1,000,000  of  indebted- 
ness. The  nature  of  the  expenditures  can  jbe 
understood  by  the'following  statement  of  tlv 
Chairman,  Sir  E.  ■\V.  "Watkin : 

"In addition  to  being  a  railway  company,  tbey 
were  a  great  estjite  company,  for  if  they  took  a  single 
inch  of  a  man's  premises  tL«?y  must  take  tne  whoW 
of  tht-m.  They  m-ast.  therefore,  pusses!"  a  large 
amount  of  surplus  property,  and  the  '©roper  warol 
dealing  with  that  was  to  k^K-p  it  till  it  could  |bo 
realized  under  the  tnost  favorable  circumstauces." 

As  will  be  seen  from  tbe  following  figures,  tiie 
capital  of  the  three  principal  metropolitan  lines, 
two  under  ground  and  the  other  '  partly  so— 
2SS4  miles — ^as  quoted  on  the  Stock  Exchange, 
amounted  to  £16.073,451,  and  was  worth  on 
the  market  July  21,  £1S.080.(J98.  This  was 
over  £2,000. Ol'O  profit,  an  average  of  I2I2  per 
cent,  above  the  par  valus,  and  represented  |in 
dollars,  at  $5  to  the  potind,  was  a  net  gain  lof 
$10,030,241.

Hatajia,  Aug.  G. — The  steamer  City  of 
Mesico  arrived  this  momiag  from  Vera  Cnu. 
She  brings  the  following  dispatch  from  the 
Mexican  capital,  dated  Citj  of  Mexico,  July  31 : 

President  Diaz  is  making  strenuous  efforts  to 
ratabllsh  himself  in  the  good  opinion  of  foreign 
powers,  especially  the  Cnited  States.  His  atti- 
tude regarding  the  border  question  was  taken 
with  the  view  of  sustaining  his  personal  dignity 
before  the  Mexican  people.  He  courts  the  good 
disposition  of  the  United  States  toward  himself 
personally,  and"  would,  apparently,  agree  with 
pleasure  to  everyt'ning  proposed  by  the  American 
Government.  The  suspicious  tenor  of  certain 
newspapers  which  formerly  opposed  President 
Diaz  has  moderated,  and  the  same  journals 
DOW  mildly  approve  the  good  intentions  and 
point  out  the  advantages  of  his  administration. 
On  the  22d  of  July  the  premiums  awarded 
Mexican  citizens  at  the  Centennial  Exhibition 
were  distributed  at  the  Theatro  NacionaL 
President.Diaz  presided  at  the  ceremony.  There 
was  much  enthiisiasna,  and  many  allusions  were 
made  to  the  good  relatiors  existing 
between  Jlejdco  and  the  Vnited  States.  The 
pxcitement  un  the  border  question  has  subsided. 
It  is  reported  that  arran^ments  have  been 
made  for  payment  to  the  I  nited  States  of  the 
next  installment  of  the  amount  awarded  by  the 
Mixed  Commission,  and  that  President  Diaz  in- 
tends to  recommend  that  the  next  Congress 
adopt  measures  acknowledging  the  English 
debt,  and  providing  for  its  payment  with  inter- 
est. Four  of  Lerdo's  Generals,  named  Loza, 
Altamirano.  Lonez,  and  Velez,  have  offered 
their  services  to  the  Diaz  Administration. 
Their  offers  have  been  accepted,  and  the  Gen- 
orals  have  been  assigned  to  high  commands. 
Peace  reigns  throughout  tbe  Republic. 

San  Francisco.  Cal..  Aug.  6. — A  press  dis- 
patch from  Sau  Diego  has  been  received  here  as 
follows;  "A  special  dispatch  to  the  Union  from 
Tucson  sav? :  Xews  from  Guayma.s  to  the 
2Bth  of  July,  and  from  Herraosillo  to  the  30th 
of  July.'  is  to  the  effect  that  letters  from 
the  City  of  Mexico  say  tien;.  Vallejo  and  Fris- 
bie  have  createtl  general  distrust  there,  aud  it  is 
predicted  that  their  mission  will  be  a  failure. 
At  the  City  of  Mexico  they  were  foulfsh  enough 
to  talk  annexation  and  the  non-recognition  of 
Diaz.  Leading  Mexicans  are  repi-esented  to 
be  much  against  them.  Keganiing  railroad 
matters,  tbe  report  says  that  they  stated  to 
Ferguson,  representing  the  commissiou  ap- 
proved by  Diaz,  that  Stanford  did  not  want  the 
Sonera  franchise,  aud  would  not  .give  a  dollar 
for  one;  also  that  they  privately  told 
Diaz  Stanford  did  nut  want  it."  K. 
C.  Hopkins  and  Perrin.  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, have  just  arrived  through  Sonora.  Hop- 
kins savs  a  bad  feeling  prevails  among  the  peo- 
ple, and  a  revolution  is  almost  certaiu.  The 
Governor  is  Senor  Mariscul.  a  nephew  of  Ler- 
do's Minister  Mariscal.  at  Washington.  Hence 
the  Diaz  Government  is  regarded  unfavorably 
there.  It  is  expected  that  Gen.  Huerta,  sent  to 
Sonora  by  Diaz,  will  declare  the  late  elections 
void.  Good  i>eopie  are  generally  satisfied  with 
Mariscal.  but  it  is  thought  that  Diaz  aud  Huerta 
tavor  Peguiera  for  Governor.

Keoktk,  Iowa,  Aug.  6. — The  Constitution 
publishes  a  complete  report  of  the  condition  of 
the  crops  throughout  the  Des  Moines  Valley,  ex- 
tending from  Keokuk  to  Port  Dodge,  from 
which  the  following  summary  is  made ;  Wheat 
is  above  the  average  crop  and  of  good  quality, 
Oats  will  make  a  heavy  yield,  and  average  from 
40  to  60  bushels  per  acre.  Com,  with  a  favor- 
able season,  will  nave  more  than  an  average 
crop.  Rye  and  barley,  but  Uttle  sown ;  it  is  of 
gtxKl  yield  and  good  quality,  averaging  40  bush- 
els per  acre.  Potatoes  are  large  and  looking 
nicely ;  there  are  the  best  prospects  ever  known, 
■fimothy,  there  is  a  fine  crop,  which  will  be 
equal  to  thit  of  1876.  Flax-seed,  there  was  but 
little  sown,  but  it  will  be  a  good  yield ;  it  looks 
fine.  The  grasshoppers  are  plentiful  in  the 
Dorth-westem  counties,  but  are  doing  no  dam- 
age. On  the  whole,  the  prosfpects  are  very  Bat- 
tering.

nVS  THOUSAND  PEBSONS  PRESENT  TESTEB- 
DAT — SPEECHES  BY  PBANOIS  MUBPHT 
AND  JOHN  B.    GOUGH. 

Fairpoint,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  6. — Some  atten- 
tion was  to^Jay  given  at  the  Reform  Conncil  to 
the  tramp  question,  and  there  was  a  general  ex- 
pression in  favor  of  effective  legislation,  j  At 
2:30  o'clock  this  afternoon  Francis  Murphy  ^nd 
John  B.  Gougb  made  their  appearance  on  the 
platform.  Mr.  Murphy  took  charge  of  the  ex 
ercises  and  introduced  "  one  of  God's  noblest 
CTiristian  gentlemek,  John  B.  Gough,"  who,  he 
hoped,  wotild  live  to  see  the  funeral  of  the  rum 
traffic  in  this  country.  5Ir.  Gough  said  :  *'  We 
wage  war  against  drink  wherever  it  may  be 
found  and  on  behalf  of  total  abstinence,  which, 
in  addition  to  being  a  safeguard,  opens  the  way 
to  the  hearing  of  the  Gospel  by  the  people,  and 
therefore  should  command  the  sympathy  of  the 
Christian."  Mr.  C tough  spoke  successively  of 
the  u-se  of  liquor  aji  a  medicine,  and  of  the!  in- 
ordinate drinker.  He  cotild  himself  no  more 
drink  moderately  than  he  could  blow  up  a  mag- 
azine moderately,  or  fire  off  a  gun  a  little  at  a 
time.  In  closing,  Mr.  Gough  defended  his  po- 
sition. He  had  not  during  his  temperf.nce 
work  of  35  yearsi  identified  himself  perma- 
nently with  any  sect  or  party  or  orgariza- 
tion.  He  workejd  in  harmony  with  and 
had  full  faith  in  the  power  of  divine 
grace  to  redeem  the  drunkard.  Yet  it  was  not 
true  that  no  man  could  stopidrinking  unless  he 
became  a  Christiah.  To  try  to  reform  without 
Christ  is  running  ^  risk,  "while  to  try  to  reform 
by  his  help  is  -safetiy.  Mr.  Gough  addressed  an 
audience  of  at  least  5,000  people.  At  a  little 
before  5  o'clock  a  ^rapd  temperance  conference 
was  held,  Francis  Murphy  presiding,  and  re- 
ports were  made  of  the  progress  of  the  work  in 
different  I'ort  ions  of  the  country.  j 

Mr.  C.  M.  Nichols,  of  Ohio,  reported  that  over 
200,000  persons  had  .signed  the  Murphy  jdedge 
in  that  State.  SpitingilelJ.  with  a  popul'iition  of 
20.000  people,  had  over  6,000  signers  to'  the 
pledge,  aud  several  iiundred  of  these  had  been 
drinking  men.  But  very  few  of  the  mi»uy 
thousands  who ,  have  been  reclaimed 
have  fallen  back.  Mr.  C.  H.  Meadon. 
of  Homells\-ille,  X.  Y'.,  gave  his 
personal  testimouy  to  the  power  of  divine  grace 
:o  take  away  an  appetite  for  drink,  and  related  a 
most  thrilling  experience.  In  the  most  terrible 
emergency  God  had  given  him  victory.  Rev. 
F.  G.  Mitchell  reported  that  there  were  Snnday- 
school  classes  of  men  in  Springfield,  Ohio,  one 
with  30  aud  another  with  130  members,  largely 
rtcniiteil  from  the  ranks  of  the  Murphy  con- 
vert.*;. Rev.  H.  H!  Wells,  of  Cleveland,  gaVe  an 
account  of  the  results  of  the  crusade  in  Ohio  a 
few  year.s  ago.  It  excited  the  attention  of  the 
people,  aroused  interest,  disseminated  infonna. 
tion,  reformed  many  men,  and  prepared  the 
way  for  tlie  Murphy  niorenient.  Mr.  Tulvlor. 
of 'Cambridge,  Ohio,  added  his  testirfiouy 
to  that  of  Mir.  Wells.  Eccles  Rihiu- 
son,  of  Pittsburg,  made  an  appeal  in 
behalf  of  Anthony  Coiiistock's  plans!  for 
for  the  suppression  of  vice.  Col.  Johii  K. 
Herrie,  of  Jamestown,  said  he  would  give  his 
right  arm  if  he  could  erase  his  past  history, 
but  thanked  t.Jml  that  he  had  been  free  fo:-  live 
years. .  He  gave  aj  graphic  account  of  the  Evork 
In  Baltimore.         j 

Jlr.  Murphy  made  a  few  closing  remarks.  Ho 
said  he  was  not  responsible  for  his  prntcd 
si;^atures  or  portraits  of  the  pledges,  or  for  the 
blue  ribbon  ihatl  originated  in  Ohio.  li  e  de- 
sired to  avoid  advertising  himself,  but.  w  shed 
to  promote  the  Gt|spel  temperance  work,  and  all 
the  people  ought  to  try  to  promote  it.  Mr.  Mur- 
phy spoke  of  the  high  character  of  the  m  m  of 
Pittsburg.  They  were  of  the  noblest  of  their  and. 
They  gave  breuli  even  to  the  tramps,  and 
-st'metinies  made  men  of  them.  XoIxmIv  irouid 
make  men  of  th|p  inmates  of  the  Poor-bju.se. 
.Mr.  Murphy  also  spoke  of  tteorge  H.  .Stuart  and 
.lohn  Wanamaker.  of  Philadelphia,  who  jwere 
Christian  gentlemen,  and  of  their  work  in  be- 
half of  the  poor  and  degraded.  A  graphic 
.sketch  was  given  of  Karacat-alley,  in  Philadel- 
phia, aud  of  its  isorrows^the  result  of  d^rink. 
Testimony  was  given  of  the  power  of  GJ'd  to 
enable  men  to  <>vercome  the  curse  of  drink. 
Mr.  Mtirpby  closed  with  au  eloquent  au<l  power- 
ful appeal  in  behalf  of  the  work.  Miss  ^ins- 
low,  of  Brooklyn,  presented  in  the  Paviliyn,  at 
7  o'clock,  the  c'laimsof  theforeignSunday-achool

Ists  of  the  river  counties  are  preparing  for  jtheir 
annual  camp-meetings,  and  notwithstandinig  the 
hard  times,  these  assemblages  are  expected  to 
be  fully  as  large  as  usual.  Many  of  the  Method- 
ists of  this  section  go  to  Sea  Grove  and  Hound 
Lake  for  a  temporary  visit  of  a  day  or  twi,  but 
their  regular  iKimping  out  is  done  at 
Sing  Sing  in  the  New-York  District,  at 
Wesley  Grove  in  the  Newburg  DLstrict,  at  Blen- 
heim Hill  in  the  PrattsvUle  District,  aid  at 
Phillipsport  in  the  Ellenville  District.  Of  these 
the  camp-meetings  at  Sing  Sing  and  Wesley 
Grove  are  the  nlost  important  The  former 
tisually  draws  large  numbers  from  Xew-|York, 
and  during  its  I  continuance  the  village  is 
<?rammed  with  pMple.  We3l(!y  Grove  attracts 
its  visitors  more  particulariy  from  the  chiirches 
in  the  district,  "the  meetilu  s  extend  ovfr  lO 
days.  Wesley  Gi^eve  is  a  beautiful  place,  in  the 
Montgomery  and  Erie  Railroad,  by  which  con- 
venient access  to  all  points  in  the  district  lis  ol>- 
tained.  The  grove  is  a  large  one,l  aud 
where  the  jr^nd  stand  is  placedl  the 
natuiral  formation  of  the  ground  creates 
a  magnificent  amphitheatre,  in  which 
thousands  can  sit  tmder  the  deep  shade!  of  as 
grand  old  trees  as  can  be  found  ea.st  of  the 
Rockies.  The  rbads  and  lanes  leading  to  this 
grove,  when  the  camp  is  occupied,  are  crammed 
with  vehicles,  and  usually  from  6.000  to  1 0.IIOO 
people  congregate  there.  The  meeting  will  com- 
mence this  year  on  the  22d  inst.  and  continue

The  Third  Assembly  District  Kepublican  As- 
ioeUtion  h  aid  its  regular  monthly  meetixig  last  night 
at  Xo.  205  Grand-street,  at  which  the  resignations 
were  recei\  ed  of  snch  officers  of  tbe  association  as 
heldoffieef'  under  the  Federal  GoTernment,  After 
Ithe  formal  close  of  the  meeting  an  election  was  held 
-it  which  a  new  set  of  oCScers  were  elected.  The  Third 
Assembly  iDistrict  includes  some  of  the  "  hardest " 
streets  in  the  City,  and  the  voting  popnlation  is  of 
that;class  upon  which  the  power  of  Tammany  Hall 
most  Eoltdlpr  rests.  Swih  a  locality  is,  of  course,  over- 
whelmingly Democratic  ;  It  is  one  where  Tammany 
has  anconttroUed  sway,  except  to  the  extent  that  the 
Republican  organization  is  a  check  upon  it ;  and  be- 
yond acting  as  a  eheck'the  organization  cannot  and 
does  not  pretend  to  go.  The  Republican  vote  of  the 
distHct  ad  Presidential  elections  has  reached  and 
sometimes  slightly  exceeded  1,000  ;  at  other  times  it 
ranges  between  800  and  900  votes.  Before  the 
ofEcers  just  resigned  took  the  district  in  hand  the 
vote  was  npt  nearly  as  much  as  this.  Indeed,  it  may 
be  said  that  it  was  only  as  much  as  the  dominant  party 
chose  to  give ;  and  they  gave  no  more  than  just  auf- 
ficent  to  save  appearances,  and  avoid  the  danger  of 
having  thel-whole  vote  thrown  out  on  tbe  ground  of 
fraud.  Tlie  Republicans  of  the  district  have  com- 
pelled the  vote  cast  to  be  tolerably  fairly  counted,  and 
In  such  a  locality  even  this  task  is  ofte  not  without 
danejer,.  since  a  Republican  voter  in  Mulberry, 
Prince,  Hester,  and  the  like  streets  is  regarded  by 
tbe  average  mxiscular  Democrat  as  an  intruder,  a 
disturber  of  the  public  peace  and  the  rejnilar  order 
of  things :  in  fact,  as  a  nuisance  which  public  policy 
demands  that  hef  abate  without  mercy.  '  Under  these 
circumstances  it  may  be  supposed  that  the  Repub- 
lican Association  must,  to  maintain  its  existence,  be 
composed  of  as  muscular,  hard-fisted,  and  hard-hit* 
ting  a  crowd  as  the  other  party,  aud  so  it  is,  while 
its  officers  and  leading  workers  have  been  in  the 
main  yoiiig  men.  some  holding  small  offices  under 
the  Government,  and  others  clerks  in  stores  and  the 
like.  The  assuciation  lias  been  run  very  harmoni- 
oaaly ;  th«  re  has  been  no  quarreling,  and  there  was

knownjas  Villa  Iloscobel,  at  High  Bridge,  took  place

with  the  rites  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church 
were  performed  in  the  handsome  little  gothic  chapel 
of  St.  James'  on ,  Central-avenue,  Fordham.  The 
church  was  well  fiU^^d  ^7  mourners,  most  of  whom 
went  to  Fordham  on  the  3:30  o'clock  train,  and  were 
taken  J  rom  I  the  depot  tn  carriages  provided  by  the 
bereavid  family  of  Mr.!  Ogden.  The  services  were 
eharaci  erized  by  the  utmost  simplicity,  and  a  simple 
crosBOl  roses  was  theonlyfloraladommentof  the  coffin. 
The  re  atives  and  nearest  friends  of  the  deceased  gen- 
tleman assembled  at  Villa  Boscobel  early  Ln  the  after- 
noon, I  nd  left  there  about  3:30  o'clock  for  the  church. 
In  the  first  carriage  were  Right  Rev.  Robert  H.  Clark-

ard,  £  ector  of  St.;  Jamjes'  Church.  Then  followed

Willia:  u  A.  Booth.  Park  Godwin,  Oswald  Ottendorfer, 
Winiai  n  C.  Sheldon,  Martin  Zborowski,  Dewis  G.  Mor- 
ris. Ft  inldin  Edson,  Gaoriel  Mead,  Andrew  H.  Green. 
After  1  he  hearse  were  the  relatives  and  near  friends 
of  Mr.  Ogd^n,  numberinK  in  all  about  20  persons. 
The  pi  ocession  reached  the  church  about  -1:30  o'clock. 
Upon  entering  it  Rev.  Mr.  Blanchard  be^an  to  recite 
the  first  lesson  of  the  ^neral  service,  which  he  fin- 
ished iupon  reaching  the  chanceL  The  choir  then 
chanteid  the  anthem  ifroiu-  tlie  tliirty-nlnth  and 
ninetiath  Psalms,  beginning :  "Lord,  let  me  know 
my  en<i,  and  the  nnmbejr  of  my  days,  that  I  maybe 
eertifliid  ht>w  long  |I  have  to  live."'  At  the  conclusion 
of  thfl  second  lesson,  read  bv  Mr.  Blanclmrd,  the 
congregation  sang  the  hymn  "  Rock  of  Ages." 

Bishop  Clarkson  then  delivered  a  discourse  over 
the  body  of  the  deceased.  He  said:  "  Will  you  allow 
me  a  idnipl^  word  or  twO  about  him  who  was  tme  of 
the  noblest  men.  and  oijie  of  tiie  most  brilliant,  in 
some  BonseB,  of  our  land  f  The  great  enterprise  of 
him  who  compreheudedjfar  in  advance  of  his  genera- 
tion the  capacities  of  th|H  expanding  continent,  and 
who  niight  be  said  to  have  been  the  master-builder  of 
the  City  that  Is  tbe  lasting  marvel  of  these  days,  will 
be  widely  written  and  '  read.  Therefore,  we  may 
pass  tbe'in  by  with  suiiple  mention.  But,  .as  we 
stand  nere  about  the  coffin  of  him  whom  wo  revered, 
let  us  jthink  of  tho.se  superior  graces  of  cliaracter  that 
made  him  so  attractiveto  all,  and  truly  lovable  to 
those  near  him.  That  charming  courtesy  that  was  in- 
born, that  loving  consideration  for  everj'body.  which 
was  prominent  in  his  life,  that  Bound  cheerfulness, 
that  ohtstretched  hand,  that  ready helpforever>-body 
who  Vas  unfortunate  ilbr  distressed,  and  his  over- 
ilowlnk;.  lovo  for  jwhatjl  kras  noblest  in  man  and  na- 
ture :  [all  thcfto  made  hin^  as  great  a  benefactor  as  the 
railroad  or  the  city  he  jbtrought  into  existence.  It  is 
not  often  that  a  mazi  I  has  H[>ent  in  this  life  three- 
score Wars  and  ten  and  left  so  many  people  he  has 
helped  as  Mr.  Otrdeu.  j^nd  the  anuotmeement  of  his 
death, will  fill  withsorrpw  hundreds  we  know  not  of. 
In  the  many  m.ontlis  that  death  has  been  playinir 
abuutjthe  citadel  of  hislife.  many  prayers  went  up  to 
heaven  for  htm.  '  and  lUany  a  ll'u  nitered  a  fervent 
"  God  bles.s  you."  The  '  same  gratf^ful  affection  that 
has  bi^ueht  me  half-wujy  acro.HKthe  continent  to  lay 
this  simple  tribute  up<ju  his  coffin  lUW  the  hearts  of 
thousands,  and  it  is  bne  of  the  noble.nt  crowns  of 
a  man's  life.  I  knew  him  when  foremost  in 
th©  T^ost  active  '  euterjirises.  when  scienco  and 
leamikg  considered  him  one  of  their  most  generous 
patrons,  when  the  State  regarded  him  as  one  of  her 
wiaeat  sons,  when  the  (Jhurch  recogniied  him  as  one 
ol  heij  constant  lovers,  ^hei:  ho  was  everj'body's  sus- 
taiuisig  friend,  when,  though  burdened  with  care,  he 
was  ever  the  same  gpuer<>u,s,  honest,  fci^h-toued, 
true-l  earted.  whtsrle-sooled  man.  God  be  praised  that 
now  ind  t^en  and 'here  and  there  is  such  a  man  liv- 
ing a:nongti9,  to  help  us  by  his  life,  and,  when  dy- 
iUK  among  us.  to  leave  as  his  example. 
Thmigh  Sir.  Ogderi  was  always  theoretically 
a  believer  in  Christianity  and  a  jcenerons  supporter 
of  its  institutions^  lit  wj^  not  until  late  in  Kfe  that  he 
acknc  wledeed  publicly,  before  men  hiK  allegiance  to 
the  I'Odwho  ma^e  ham  and  the  Saviour  who  re- 
deemed him.  How  much  Ivettur  would  it  have  been 
if  the  whole  of  such  a  life  had  been  Kpent  as  a  child 
of  th^  cross !  What  unllimite*!  personal  and  national 
beneflts  would  have  resulted  fr<<ni  that  vast  porsonsl 
influ€tnce  and  ainazim;  !ix)wer  guided  by  the  spirit  of 
Cluislianity  '.  But  it  is  well  that  he  came  at  la.«t.  in 
chlldnke  faith  and  penitence,  to  bow  at  the  foot  of 
the  cross."  ^ !         L 

At  the  cbnclnsipn  of  Bishop  Clarkson's  discourse 
the  clhoir  sang  the  hymn,  "  There  is  a  spot  wliere 
Chrii^tians  sleep."  During  the  singing  the  mourners 
took  ja  final  look  at  the  face  of  the  dead.  Mr. 
Ogden's  body  was  inclosed  in  a  hea\-}-  and  plain 
rosewood  casket,  which;  bore  a  silver  plate  with  the 
ins^'ription  :  "  \Villiaiii  Butler  Ogden.  died  Aug.  3. 
18771  aged  72  years."  |  At  the  close  of  the  senices 
in  the  chnrrh  the  same  partv  of  mourners  that  ac- 
comiianied  Mr.  C^enj's  btxiy  from  his  late  home 
conuncted  it  to  "W  oodlawn  Cemetery,  where  it  was 
interred  in  tbe  family  burial  place,  where  Bishop 
Clarkson  and  Rev.  Mr.  Blanchard  performed  the 
final  ritea.  i

M  HP-TOWN  TRAGEDY. 


ATTEMPTED  MURDER  OF  A  WOMAN, 
SHE  IS  ASSAILED  ON  THE  STOOP  OF  HER 
HOUSE  AND  PROBABLY  WOUNDED  FATAL- 
LY—THE PROBABLE  CAUSE  OP  THE  AT- 
TACK— THE  INJURED  WOMAN  REFUSES 
TO  MAKE  A  STATEMENT— ESCAPE  OP  THE 
WOULD-BE  UURDEBER. 

John  Wright,  a  colored  hostler  eTnployed  In 
livery  stables  at  No.  205  Lexington-aTenae,  entered 
the  Twenty-first  Precinct  Station-house  last  evening 
In  an  excited  manner,  aud  informed  the  Sergeant  on 
duty  that  a  man  had  murdered  a  lady  on  the 
■toop  of  No.  209  Lexington-avenue,  and  escaped. 
He  said  that  while  he  was  standing  by  the  entrance 
to  the  stable  the  lady  approached,  and  was  In  the 
act  of  ascending  the  stoop  when  a  man,  who  had  been 
standing  near  by,  sprang  forward  and  dealt  her 
several  murderous  blows  with  an  axe  or  hatchet. 
The  woman  fell,  bleeding  from  several  wounds 
and  the  man  walked  hurriedly  away  in 
the  direction  of  Thirty,  third-street,  fol- 
lowed by  the  Sergeant's  informant,  who 
however,  lost  sight  of  him  at  Hecond-avenne  and 
Tliirty-sectond-street.  Such  in  substance  was  the 
brief  statement  of  Wright.  AA  investigation  was 
immedlMelv  begun  by  Oapt.  Murphy,  and 
the  following  facts  regarding  the  tragedy 
were  gathered.  The  house  No.  209  Lexington-avenue 
is  allied  to  be  a  place  of  assignation.  It  is  owned  by 
George  H.  HUl,  and  has  been  occupied  dur- 
ing the  past  eight  months  by  a  woman 
named  Mary  Howard.  To  all  outward  appear- 
ances the  house  is  quiet  and  orderly,  but 
suspicion  regarding  Its  character  has  neverthe- 
less     been      entertained      by      the       neighbors. 

Among  the  iimiates  of  the  establishment  during  the 
last  five  months  has  been  Mrs.  Frank  Holmes,  a 
handsome  widow,  2.S  years  of  age.  Thiswoman  wasem- 
ployed  as  cashier  in  the  boot  and  shoe  store  of  Thomas 
Henry  Clark,  at  Siith-avenue  and  Thirty-second- 
street,  up  to  about  five  montlis  ago,  when  she  lost 
her  position  in  consequence  of  the  failure  of  her 
employer.  WTiile  Mrs.  Holmes  was  in  his 
store,  Clark  became  en-imored  of  her,  and, 
it  is  asserted,  asked  her  to  marry  him.  She  refused, 
but  he,  notwithstanding,  pressed  his  suit.  Learning 
tlmt  she  had  gone  to  live  at  the  house  in  Lexington- 
avenue.he  followed  herthither.  and,  much  to  his  aston- 
ishment and  chagrin,  was  bluntly  refused  admittance 
to  the  house  by  the  colored  servants,  who  were,  of 
course,  acting  under  instructions  from  Mrs.  Holmes. 
Desnite  frequent  rebuffs  of  a  similar  nature, 
he  persi.«Tca  in  his  efforts  to  see  this 
woman.  During  the  i>ast  three  months  he 
w*s  often  seen  lounging  in  the  neighborhood  of  the 
hou^e.  He  would  sit  patiently  for  hours  on  the 
railinz  in  front  of  the  livery  stable  at  the 
corner  of  Thirtv-third-stTeet.  To  the  men 
employed  in  the  stable  he  represented 
that  he  was  a  detective,  detailed  to  watch  the  houses 
of  questionable  repute  in  the  vicinity.  Sometimes 
he  would  sit  in  front  of  a  larger-beer  saloon 
at  the  comer  of  Leximrton-avenue  and  Thirty- 
second:Street.  from  which  point  he  commanded 
a  full  view  of  No.  209  of  the  former  street.  During 
the  past  month  it  was  notit-ed  that  the  mysterious 
stranger,  as  he  was  called,  only  occaKionally  appeared 
at  hi.s  x»ost.  On  Sunday  evenimr  he  unhesitatingly 
approached  the  house,  and  being  admitted  I>y  a 
newly-hired  'servant,  had  an  interview  with  Mrs. 
Howard,  .the  landlady.  He  besought  her  to  arrange 
an  interview  Iwtween  Mrs.  Holmes  and  himself. 
Mrs.  Howard  refused,  and  Intimated  that  his  pres- 
ence in  the  housp  was  objecvtionable. 

The  stable  men  yesterday  morning  s.iw  the  man 
standing  at  tbe  comer,  apparently  watching  for  the 
arrival  of  some  one.  As  his  attendance  there  was  .% 
matter  of  dailv  ocmrrence,  no  further  attention, 
was  devoted  to  him.  .A.bout  3:30  P.  M-  Mr-. 
Holmes,  who  had  been  out  shopping,  approached  her 
residence.  .She  was  just  lu  the  act  of  walking  up  the 
stoop  when  (Hark  ran  up,  and.  drawing  a  small 
hat^Tiiet  from  underneath  the  sleeve  of  his  coat,  struck 
her  several  terrible  blows,  felling  her  insensible  on 
tbe  .steps.  Dropping  tbe  hatchet  "the  would-be  mur- 
derer walked  ra)'idly  to  Thirty-second-street  and 
thence  to  Third-avenne,  followed  by  tbe 
negro  who  had  witnessed  the  occturrenpe. 
Mrs.  Holmes  was  removed  into  the  house, 
where  she  was  attended  s«x>n  after  by  Drs.  Bnice 
and  Boweu.  An  examination  of  the  wounded 
w<iman  .showed  that  CLirk  had  Infiirted  eight  wounds, 
consisting  of  five  deep  scalp  wounds,  a  cut  on  one  of 
the  arms,  and  two  fractures  of  tho  skulL  one  behind 
the  left  ear  and  the  other  two  inches  above  it.  The 
nature  of  the  two  latter  wounds  preclude,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  dof'tors.  the  possibility  of  Mrs.  Holmes 
recovering  from  their  effects. 

Capt-  Murphy,  aided  by  the  detectives  of  his  pre- 
cinct, made  ever)'  poRsible  effort  to  ascertain  the 
wherealxmts  of  Clark,  but  had  not  succeeded  up  to 
a  late  hour  last  night  in  arrestii.g  him.  He  is  de- 
■Jribed  a.s  a  man  -15  years  of  age.  slim-built,  wearing 
a  blae'«:  moufttache  and  side  whiskers.  It  Is  said  that 
shortly  after  hi«5  failtire  be  entered  Into  partnership 
with  a  Mr.  (Junningham,  who  keeps  a  hoot  and  shoe 
store  at  the  comer  of  Eighth-avenne  and  Thirty- 
fourth-street. 

Mrs.  Howard  was  very  reticent  last  evening  re- 
garding the  circumstances  of  tho  tragedy.  Coroner 
Flanagan,  who  was  summoned  to  take  the  ante- 
mortem  statement  of  the  dying  woman,  called  at  the 
house  early  in  the  evening.  Althbtigh  consriims and  able 
to  speak.  Mrs.  Holmes  refused  to  say  anythingcon- 
cemmg  her  relations  with  Clark,  contirmingher state- 
ment to  a  description  of  the  aiisault.  I.^t6  last  night 
Capt.  Murphy  expressed  the  opinion  that  Clark  Had 
committed  suicide  by  drowning  himself  in  the  East 
River.

WffAT  TBE   LIQUOR   3EALEBS  SAY. 

A  BUSH  OP  APPLICANTS  TOR  UCENSES  TO  THE 
EXCISE  OTFICS — ^RTJMOBS  THAT  THE  DEMO- 
CRATIC COUasSIOKERS  ABE  WOBEINO 
m  THK  nraTEBESTS  OP  TAVMAWV  HALL— 
UNLICENSED  DEALEBS  BEFORE  THE  POUGE 
COURTS. 
Three  hundred  and  fifty  appUcationa  for 
licenses  were  filed  and  $19,000  iiLTnoney  received  at 
the  Excise  of&ee,  in  Houston-atre^  yesterday.  The 
rush  during  the  day  was  unprecedented,  the  seven 
clerks  on  duty  being  worked  &019  7;30  o'clock  in 
the  moming  till  G  in  the  evening.  In  the  outer  office 
and  p*ssageways  adjoining,  the  crush  was  so 
great  that  the  Police  had  to  form  the 
crowd  into  double  lines,  which  reached  down 
the  steps  and  out  on  the  sidewalk.  Many  of  the  men 
had  to  wait  hours  before  they  could  be  fittended  to. 
Bondsmen  were  in  great  demand,  and  those  'who  con- 
sented to  act  aa  such  generally  charged  $5  for  their 
services.  -  There  was  much  complaint  in  regard  to 
the  $1  fee  for  filing  the  bonds,  which  was  exacted  of 
MLch  applicant^  and  most  have  footed  up  $300  for 
bomebody.  It  does  not  go  the  clerks,  and  some  of 
the  poorer  dealers  are  anxious  to  know  what  becomes 
of  it.  In  tlie  inner  ofSce  sat  Commission- 
ers Morton,  Murphy,  and  Patterson,  but- 
rounded  by  a  buzzing  cro'iFd  of  hotel  proprietors, 
saloon-keepers,  bondsmen,  c  nd  politicians,  all  anxious 
to  avert  the  liquor  "  war, " -wliich  was  supnosed  t-o 
Ihreateii  them-  About  20  licenses  were  granted 
inrin^  the  day.  French's  '3otel,  the  Cosmopolitan 
ifotel.  Caswell,  Hazard  &  Cck.  S.  H.  TViUiamaon,  and 
McMlUan  &  Co.  being  am(  mg  the  favored  few.  So 
fax  not  more  than  50  Hcensf  e  have  been. granted  out 
of  t^e  2,000  applications,  and  the  delay  of  the  board 
in  t;  Odng  definite  action  is  pving  rise  to  all  sorts  of 
nimoi"3.  Oneisthatthe  two  Democratic  Commissioners 
we  -wo'.^ng  to  the  interests  <rfTammany  Hall,  which 
whisIw'*»<o  keep  np  the  liquor  agitation  with  a  view 
to  prod  ting  by  the  adverse  position  of  the  Republican 
Pa.ny  oi.'  that  question.  The  d  efeat  of  the  pro-liqaor 
iftws  intA^°*^^^  ^  ^®  Legialatnre  last  Winter  is 
charged  to  the  Republicans,  and  the  liquor  dealers 
ire  told  tli*t  their  only  hope  as  in  standing  by  the 
Demorracy:^ 

A  West  .Side  .politician  who  .is  well  jwsted  on  local 
matter?,  sala  yesvenlay,  "The  -true  inwardness  of  this 
fcusiness^  is  that  TaKimauy  warits  to  renew  the  old  cry 
of  'Puritanical  intd»^erance,'  'Albany  Legislation,' 
against  the  RepnbKcaaa,  George  "W.  Morton,  the 
brains  of  the  Excise  Board,  ia  SfWretary  of  the  Tam- 
many Gei**ral  Committee,  and  '*Baldy'  Smith,  Presi- 
flent  of  the  Police  Board,  is  of  tlie  siane  stripe,  polit- 
ically. The  whole  thing  is  as  plain  as  a  pike- 
staff. The  PoKce  harass  the  liquor  dealers  just 
enough  to  arouse  them,  and  the  Esjrfse  people  put 
off  grantinff  them  lieens<ts  in  order  to  keep  the  sore 
open.  By  and  by.  John  Kelly  and  hia  Committee  of 
Or2;nnlzation  will  oome  to  the  front,  as  they  did  last 
Pnmmer.  with  a  manifesto  of  sympat2iy,  denonncing 
the  Republican  majority  In  the  Legislature,  and  tell- 
'.ni?  the  liquor  dealers  to  olect  Democratic  candidates 
tf  they  want  peace  and  protection.  The  Excise 
Board,  have  bad  three  jnonths  time  in  which  to  clear  up 
ihis  muddle,  if  they  wanted  to,  and  were  not  working 
uider  John  Kelly's  orders."  On  the  other  hand, 
ITommissioner  Weston  stLvs  that  the  delay  of  the 
board  is  owing  to  the  lack  of  time  in  which  to  exam- 
hie  into  the  thousands  of  applications  which  are 
pouring  in  on  them.  They  have  only  10  inspectors, 
who  are  pnid  sahuies  of  Sl.SOOand  $l,OOOper  year. 
These  are  constimtly  engaged  in  ascertaining  the 
character  and  standing  of  applicants  for  license.  "  If 
we  had  a  larger  force, "  added  the  Conunissioner, 
'  •  and  could  get  a  full  meeting  of  the  hoard  every  day. 
we  cdtild  settle  the  business  soon  enough." 

Among  the  leaders  of  the  various  liquor  organiza- 
Mons  thero  is  much  bitter  feeling  over  the  conduct  of 

certain  Republicans  in  the  last  Legislature.  "  I  have 
many  friends  who  are  Republicans."  said  Mr.  Henrj* 
L'unmnT:b.'wn,  Presj-Ient  of  the  Liquor  Dealers'  Pro- 
relive  T-  nion,  to  n.  Tdies  reporter  yesterday.  •'  and  I 
don't  like  to  speak  ill  of  thera  as  a  partv.  but  I  must 
say  iliat  u  more  contemptible  and  pusillanimous  set 
of'  hypocrites  than  some  of  their  Assaoiblvmen  at 
jUbany  last  Winter  I  never  saw  before.  ^Vhy,  they 
would'set  up  all  night  thinking  our  wine  and  cham-. 
paejic.  and  patting  us  on  the  bsurk,  and  then  turn 
artmndlthe  next  Tnoroinp and  denounce  ns  on  thetli>or 
of  the  House,  and^ote  «oIid  against  every  measure  or 
our  relief.  They  told  us  they  had  to  do  it,  because 
Iheir  constituerrls  were  fetreoly  teetotallers,  and  abuse 
nf.the  lifjnor  dealers  was  always  popular  wi*  them." 
Mr.  ('urniinEham  added  that  the  various  liquor  or- 
Sttntzritinns  did   nut   intend  doine  anything  just  at 

f'ire-s«'i3t,  Tiriferrina:  to  let  ^e  Police  continue  their 
iar»!*Rin^  for  a  time,  and  so  jcet  public  sympathy 
WH,  their  side.  It  was  outrageous,  the  mantier 
in  whi''h  the  law  was  enforced,  fiilmore's  Garden 
and  other  high-toned  places  a-ere  allowed  to  sell  to 
thfiu-Jiinds.  "and  an  unforltinate  German  in 
ft  wine  shop  on  the  east  side  was  arrested 
for  sfUing  to  half  a  doisen-  Vice-President  Repper, 
of  the  Protective  L'nion,  and  othor  prominent  cfeal- 
•TK.  spoke  in  a  similar  strain.  The  proprietors  of 
th<-  East  River  parks  and  gardens  say  that  their  prop- 
erty is  being  largely  dapreciated  in  value  by  the 
Stoppage  of  their  Sunday  concerts,  -'De  Bolice  tells 
ns.  '  Raid  one  of  them  yeswrday.  ' '  dot  we  ran  gif  ter 
^•oncerts  mitout  ter  beer,  but  what  good  is  moosic 
mitnut  beer.*" 

ilenry  ClauMcn,  President  of  the  Brewers'  Associa- 
tion of  the  United  .States,  is  expected  home  from  the 
Vivst  in  a  few  days,  and  on  Ws  arrival  a  consultation 
will  be  held  between  the  heiids  of  the  various  wine 
nml  liquor  associations  in  the  City.  Mr.  Clausen  was 
Cbainnan  of  the  Agitation  Committee  of  the  indigna- 
tion meetinc  held'  nt  Cooper  Institute  during  the 
Tiiids  of  hsst  Summer,  and  his  friends  say 
■that  he  will  take  an  active  part  in  the 
present  controversy.  Major  Fricke.  of  the  Ger- 
jnan  saloon-keepers,  Major  George  W.  Sanr.  and 
other  prominent  Germans  will  co-operate  with  him. 
3t  is  also  reported  that  Richard  O'Gorman  will  be 
retained  as  counsel  in  a  test  case  to  be  instituted 
for  the  purpose  of  settUne  thtfvalidity  of  the  position 
tiiken  by  the  Police  Board.  At  present  the  pigeon- 
holes of  the  District  Attorney's  office  are  fairlv  cram- 
med with  commitments  of  recalcitrant  liquor  deaJers. 
and  iCsome  of  them  are  not  speedily  tried  the;f  will 
be  in  danger  of  lapsing  through  the  Statute  of  Limita- 
tions. The  only  obstacle  to  trying  them 
Is  the  fact  'that  it  wonld  effectually 
block  the  courts  for  several  mcmths,  against 
cUl  other  business.  Meantime,  many  of  the 
parties  to  the  nominal  ball  bonds  of  $100  have  left 
the  City,  and  others  are  disqualified  through  loss  of 
property.  Nobody  seriously  supposes  that  the  mv 
Jority  of  the  cases' will  ever  be  reached,  but  the  tem- 
perance people  demand  that  a  certain  number  of  them 
be  tried,  to  establish  a  precedent. 

At  the  meeting  ef  the  Excise  Board  yesterday,  a, 
jcomplaint  was  presented  sizned  by  W.  T.  B.  Milliken, 
and  R-  FI.  Shannon,  of  the  t>aw  Committee  of  the  So- 
cietv  for  the  Prevention  of  Crime,  calling  the  atten- 
tion of  the  board  to  the  fact  that  one  John  P.  Win- 
riolph.  of  No.  346  Eighth-avenut,  had  violated  the 
law  on  a  certain  Sundav  in  July  last  by  selling  beer. 
■nnd  demanding  that  his  license  be  re\'oked.  The 
complaint,  which  is  understood  to  be  for  the  purpose 
»>f  making  a  test  case,  was  placed  on  file  for  further 
consideration-  The  number  of  arrests  made  yester- 
day was  not  large,  the  places  "  pulled"  being  gen- 
erally of  a  low  order.

FOTTB  SPmiTED  COITTESTS. 

A  BRIGHT  DAY  AND  A  GOOD  -  T-kiCK — THB 
FAVORITks  SUCCESSPiri.  IN  TWO  RACES — 
THB  BETtriNa  AND  THE  WINNERS. 
SpecidtlHMpateh  to  the  ye«f-Tork  Tiaua. 
Saratoga,  N.  T.,  Aug.  6.— The  success 
which  attended,  the  first  Summer  meeting 
that  closed  on  Saturday  induced  the  Badnx  Asso- 
ciation to  give  two  extra  days,  tiie  first  of  which 
haa  pasaed  off  in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  all  but  the 
losers.  A  welcome  rain  fell  last  night,  and  although 
it  interfered  with  the  usual  Snnday  night's  concert 
in  the  park,  and  drove  the  audience  to  the  shel- 
ter of  the  hotel  piazzas,  its  influence  was  bene^ 
fidal  in  keeping  down  the  dust  to  some 
extent  in  the  village  streets  which  hod  caused  much 
annoyance  to  pedestrians  yesterday.  The  rain  made 
no  impression  on  the  traek,  however,  and  the  dust 
was  raised  in  clouds  at  each  movement  of  the  horses 
as  they  passed  through  the  streteb.  The  attendance 
of  specfatoTB  was  not  as  large  as  on  the  previous 
days,  but  the  racing  was  of  an  extraordinary  nature, 
and  those  who  were  present  enjoyed  a  day's  sport  of 
rare  excellence.  There  were  four  races  as  usual,  and 
two  of  them,  the  first  and  last,  fell  to  the 
favorites  and  the  two  middle  ones  to  outsiders.  The 
most  exciting  contest  of  the  day  was  the  heata  of  a 
mile  and  five-eighths,  which  took  three  heats  to  de- 
cide, and  showed  up  the  winner,  George  IV.,  to  the 
best  advantage.  He  proved  himself  both  speedy  and 
reliable.  The  mutual  pools  were  well  patronized, 
the  winning  tickets  on  the  first  race  being  $12  50; 
second  race,  first  heat,  $22  90 ;  second  heat,  $26  50 ; 
third  heat,  $7  60;  the  third  raoe  paid  $23  10,  and 
the  fourth  race  $10  75.  Although  it  -was  past  3 
o'clock  when  the  last  race  was  finished,  the  people 
left  the  course  apparently  delighted  with  the  enter- 
tainment. The  following  are  the  details  of  the 
sport : 

THE  THREE-^UARTEB  DASH. 

The  entertainment  began  with  a  dash  of  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile,  for  2-year  olds,  whicb  closed 
on  Saturday  with  10  entries,  but  one  of  them, 
Bridget,  was  scratched  that  evening,  and  those  that 
faced  the  starter  on  being  summoned  to  the  track 
were  Pierre  LorillATd's  Pique;  Mediuger's  Phaeton 
filly;  Wither's  Lexington  filly;  Dwyer  Brothers' 
Fury ;  George  L.  liorillard's  Albert ;  McBaniel's  En- 
quirer fllly :  Smythe's  Telephone ;  Clabaugh's  Jet, 
and  Puryear's  Clifton.  It  was  a  fine  betting  race,  and 
the  speculation  on  the  result  was  very  animated. 
Pique  was  the  general  favorite  at  $225,  Clifton 
sellinff  next,  at  $100  ;  Albert,  $75  ,  Withers,  $50 ; 
Jet,  $50;  Medinger,  40;  Telephone,  $30;  Fury. 
$20,  and  McDaniel.  $20.  ^Jacob  Pincus  officiated  as 
the  starter,  and  sent  them  Ibff  on  the  sectmd  trial  to 
a  straggling  start,  with  Pique  and  Oifton  in  the  lead, 
two  lengths  in  front  of  Tel^hone,  and  the  others  in 
a  bunch,  while  Albert  was  slow  In  moving  off,  and 
was  In  the  rear.  When  they  ran  down  the  chute 
Clifton  showed  slightly  in  front  of  Pique,  and,  turn- 
ing into  the  reeular  track  at  the  half-mile  pole, 
Clifton  was  h^  a  length  in  front  of  I^ne. 
who  was  three  lengths  away  ~  from  Tele- 
phone, who  was  half  a  length  before  Jot, 
with  Withera,  Fury,  and  McDaniel  running  together, 
a  length  before  Albert  and  Medinger.  Coming  round 
the  lower  turn,  Clifton  kept  half  a  length  in  advance 
of  Pique,  who  was  now  three  lengths  away  from  Tele- 
phone, who  had  run  np  to  the  third  place,  and  she 
was  a  length  and  a  half  oefore  the  balance,  in  a  ruck. 
When  they  turned  into  the  homestretch  CUfton  still 
held  the  lead,  but  Hughes  was  riding  him  for  all  he 
was  worth,  while  Barrett  had  Pique  well  in  hand. 
Getting  into  the  straight  worV,  Pique  gradnnlly  moved 
up  to  tne  neck  o^  Clifton,  while  McDaniel'-s  ftUy  came 
up  on  the  inside  mto  the  third  place.  When  they  got 
to  the  lower  end  of  the  Grand  Stand  Clifton  shortened 
his  stride,  and  Hughes  drew  the  whip  on  him,  but  he 
could  not  re-spond,  and  Pique  immediately  rame  to 
the  front,  winning  the  race  easily  by  a  length  and  a 
half  in  1:18^.  Clifton  waa  four  lengths  away  from 
Telephone,  third  Albert  fourth,  Withers  and  Jet 
coming  in  together,  with  Fury  and  Medinger's  filly 
brinring  up  the  rear.  Thus  the  day  began  well  for 
the  Dackers  of  favorites,  and  they  were  prepared  to 
plunge  on  the  next  event. 

THE  HEAT  BACB. 

The  card  announced  for  the  second  event  a  race  of 
a  mile  and  fivcHtighths,  in  heats,  being  a  handicap  for 
all  ozen.  There  were  four  entries,  including  Long- 
staft  a  George  W..  Lorillard's  Ambush.  Hart's  Henry 
Owens,  and  McDaniel's  St.  James.  In  the  pools.  Just 
before  the  start.  Ambush  brought  $350 ;  Henrv 
Owens,  $210;  St.  James,  $200.  and  George  l\\ 
;$175.  The  starting-post  was  midway  down  the 
Chute,  and  when  the  fiag  fell  they  appar- 
ently were  under  way  together,  but  Owens 
immediately  ran  forward  to  cut  out  the 
work.  and.  turning  into  the  regular  track  at  the  half- 
mile  pole,  he  led  half  a  length,  St.  James  second,  two 
lengths  before  Ambush,  who  was  half  a  length  in  ad- 
vance of  Geor^  IV.  Coming  round  the  lower  turn, 
Henry  Owens  mcreased  his  lead,  drawing  away  from 
St.  James,  and  leading  him  a  length  and  a  half,  while 
at  the  tail  of  the  latter  came  Ambush,  a  length  before 
George  IV.  Keeping  up  the  pace,  Owens  increased^ 
hlfl  lead  still  belter,  and  got  away  two  lengths,  but 
St.  James  was  under  a  strong  pull.  The  ,  pace  was 
still  good  up'  the  stretch,  and  when  they  passed 
the  judges'  stand.  fini.ihing  the  first  five-eighths 
of  a  mile,  Owens  was  still  two  lengths  ahead  of  tit. 
Jamea,  and  he  a  length  before  Ambush,  who  had  his 
neck  in  front  of  (ieorge  TV.  Going  around  the  turn 
Sparling  took  a  pull  on  Owens  to  let  him  catch  his 
breath,  but  when  he  reached  the  quarter  pole  St. 
James  was  two  lengths  behind  him  again,  and  he  a 
length  m  front  of  Ambush,  who  was  a  length  before 
Georjje  IV.  Down  the  back-stretch  the  pace  was  hot, 
|aud  St.  James  moved  up  to  the  saddle  girth  of 
Owens,  but  the  latter  got  away  from  him  again,  and 
jled  a  length  at  the  hAli-mile  pole,  while  Kvans  sent  up 
jGeOTge  I V  .to  lAp  St.  James*  quarter,  while  Ambush  had 
dropped  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  Coming  round  the 
lower  turn  the  race  waa  very  exciting,  ks  St.  James 
moved  up  to  the  neck  of  Owens,  and  he  was  followed 
up  by  George  I\'.,  while  Ambush  had  dropped  three 
lengths  behind.  There  was  great  enthuKiaum  as  they 
turned  into  the  home  stretch  with  the  three  thus 
lapped,  but  Owemi  kept  in  front  past  the  furlong 
pole  under  the  whip,  and  at  the  distance  stand  he 
pushed  forward  and  looked  by  the  winner,  but,  meas- 
uring hifl  distance,  Barbee  sent  Ambush  along  under 
the  whip,  and  with  a  rush  he  pa-wed  St.  James,  and 
in  the  last  jump  headed  Owens,  and  the  pair  passe<l 
t>>e  goal  simultaneously,  making  a  dead  heat,  in  2:56. 
At  th&  talis  of  the  dead  heaters  was  St.  James,  who 
was  three  lengths  in  front  of  George  r\'.,  who  had 
been  pulled  up.  The  first  five-eighths  had  been  run 
in  1:10^  and  the  mile,  from  stand  to   stand,  in 

]  Second  Seat, — Ambush  was  still  the  favorite  at 
$225.  and  the  field  $115.  There  was  no  delay  in 
getting  them  off,  and  Evans  changed  his  tactics 
from  the  first  heat,  and  Immediately  sent  George  IV. 
,to  the  front,  and  when  turning  In  to  the  r^ular 
track  at  the  half-mile  pole  he  was  two  lengths  in 
front  of  Owens,  who  was  a  length  before  Ambush, 
he  being  lapped  at  the  quarter  by  St.  James.  Com- 
ing round  tne  lower  turn,  Geo^e  was  allowed  hla 
head,  and  soon  opened  a  gap -of  nve  lengths  and  be- 
gan to  make  the  j»ce  a  tiring  one.  Barbee,  seeing 
that  George  was  getting  too  far  away,  sent  Ambui£ 
past  Owens  and  was  in  the  second  place  and  closed 
gradually  on  the  leider.  and  when  they  came  round 
to  the  stand  George  showed  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Ambush,  who  waa  jleading  Owens  three  lengths,  the 
latter  being  a  length  and  a  half  away  from 
St.  James.  Going  round  the  turn,  George 
kept  going  at  1  the  same  stiff  pace,  and 
increase  his  lead  to  three  lengths  at  the 
quarter  pole,  and  Abibush  was  the  same  distance  in 
front  of  Owens,  wh^  was  still  a  length  and  a  half  be- 
fore St.  James.  There  was  a  merry  chase  after 
iGeorge  along  thel  bock  stretch,  and  Barbee  waa 
lobliged  to  urge  Ambush  to  close  up,  and  at  the  half, 
imle  pole  there  was  naif  a  length  or  daylight  between 
them,  with  OwensI  and  St.  James  in  the  same  posi- 
tions as  before.  When  they  came  round  the  lower 
turn  Barbee  useq  the  whro  on  Ambush,  who 
responded  and  finally  moved  up  to  the  bead  of 
George,  and  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch  to- 
gether. There  was  a  grand  brush  up  the  stretel^  but 
Ambush  quit  under  the  whip,  and  George  had 
the  race.  Barbee,  seeing  he  could  not  get  there, 
pulled  np,  expecting  one  of  the  others  to  make  a 
jomshf  but  Evans  was  on  the  lookout  also,  and  pulled 
{George,  who  won  the  heat  by  a  length  and  a  half  in 
2:57,  St.  James  gaining  second  place,  h^  a  length 
before  "Ambush,  who  was  a  length  before  Owens, 
The  five-eighths  was  run  in  1:09,  and  the  mile,  from 
at^uid  to  stand,  in  1:48. 

Third  Seat — George  IV.  brought  $375,  and  the 
£eld  $130.  Under  the  rule,  St.  James  waa  sent  to 
the  stable,  ftnd  the  other  three  ^ot  away  on  the  first 
trial,  but  George  was  immediately  sent  to  the 
front,  and  at  the  half-mile  pole  was  a  length 
in  front  of  Owens,  who  was  the  same 
diistance  ahead  of  Ambush.  In  this  way  they  came 
aroond  the  lower  turn,  but  on  the  stretch  Ch^orge 
oame  away,  and  passed  the  stand  three  lengths  tn  ad- 
vance of  Ambush,  who  had  passed  Owens  and  led 
him  two  lengths.  When  they  went  to  the  turn 
Owens  waa  completely  pumped  and  stopped.  In  the 
meantime  George  increased  his  lead  to  five  lengths 
at  the  quarter  pole,  and  six  along  the  back  stretch, 
but  at  the  half-mile  pole  Ambush  nad  closed  up,  ana 
there  was  three  lengths  of  daylight  between 
them,  bnl  on  the  lower  turn  George  got 
away  again,  and  although  Barbee  whipi»ed 
and  I  spurred  Ambush  it  was  of  no  avail. 
George  took  it  very  easy  np  the  home  stretch,  and 
won|  the  heat  and  race  in  2:58,  proving  hlmseU  to  be 
a  remarkable  stayer  aud  a  credit  to  his  aire.  Owens 
was  at  the  three-quarter  pole,  and  consequently  dis- 
Jtancied.  The  first  five-eighths  was  run  in  l:08i3,  and 
ithe  inile,  from  stand  to  stand,  in  1:49^ 

TH£  MILE  DASH. 
The  third  event  was  a  dash  of  one  mile,  a  free 
handicap  for  beaten  3-year  olds.  For  this  were 
entered  Dwyer  Brothers,  Vermont,  Xiong- 
staff*  8  ^^:lnn,  Blce'a  Dr.  Livingstone,  Mc- 
Daniel's ^incesfl  of  Thnle,  and  Price's  Bill 
Bass.  Vermont  started  the  favorite,  but  the 
victory  of  his  stable  companion  in  the  preceding 
racemade  the  heavy  speculators  plunge  on  Hlgglna, 
land  he  brought  $205  ;  Vermont,  $200  ;  Princess  of 
jThule,  $165 ;  Bill  Baas,  $110,  and  Doctor  Living- 
I  stone,  $55.  This  was  another  grand  op- 
iportunity  for  the  knowing  ones.  At  the 
second  attempt  the  flag  fell,  with  -Princess  of 
iThule  and  Doctor  Livii^stone  in  the  lead,  Ver- 
'mont  and  Bill  Baas  next,  and  Higgina  in  the  rear, 
j  At  the  turn.  Princess  of  Thule  rushed  to  the  front, 
I  and  at  the  quarter  pole  she  was  showing  two  lengths 
i  in  front  of  Doctor  Livingstone,  who  was  a 
length  ahead  of  BUI  Baaa.  who  waa 
rl^Miog  Vermont  and  Higgina  a  length.

Barbee  sent  Vcnnont  on.  and,  coming  up  from  the 
rear,  passed  all  before  him  but  the  Princess,  but  at 
the  bttlf-niile  pole  ho  was  at  the  lattcr'a  widdle-girth, 
and  at  Vermont's  tall  was  Bill  Bass,  leading  Hig- 
ghiE  and  Livingstone  h^  a  length.  On  the  lower 
turn  Vermont  ran  on  oven  terms  with  the  Princess 
of  Thnle,  and  they  were  a  length  in  ad- 
vance of  Bill  Bas.^,  with  Doctor  Livingstone  at  the  lat- 
ter's  tail,  leading  Higgins  half  a  length.  When  they 
turned  into  the  nome  stretch  Bill  Bass  came  up.  and 
was  Koon  on  even  terms  with  tho  leaders,  but  at  the 
furione  it  looked  as  if  the  Princess  of  ThtUe  would 
win  ;  nut  she  quaQed  under  the  pressure,  and  BUI 
Boss  came  to  the  front  is  such  a  decided  manner  that 
he  astonished  every  one.  He  beat  them  all  easily, 
and  won  by  fofai  lengths  In  1^5^^,  Vermont  gaining 
the  second  place  by  a  neck  from  the  Princesa  01 
Thule,  Higgins  foiurth,  and  Livingstone  fifth.  Thus 
the  Western  division  cabtnred  another  good  race. 

TB£  SEliIJNG   KACS. 

The  concluding,  event  was  a  selling  race  of  one 
mile  and  An  eighth,  for  which  there  were  four  en- 
tries, but  only  three  ifaced  the  starter,  Including  Xior- 
Ulard's  Fugitive,  Medinger's  First  Chance,  and  Long- 
staffs  Partnership. ,  Of  the  three.  Fugitive  waa  ac- 
cepted as  the  probabjlo  winner,  and  brought  $300, 
Partnership  ;  $150,  |aud  First  Chance  $130.  The 
distance  being  ai  znile  and  an  eighth,  they  were 
mustered  at  the  i  furiong  pole  midway  down  the 
stretch.  After  threje  or  four  breaks  away  and  some 
fooling,  they  were  isent  on  their  journey  on  pretty  even 
terms,  but  iPirst  Chance  darted  to  the  front  to 
make  the  running,  and  reached  the  stand  a  length  in 
advance  of  Pugitive,lwho  was  a  length  and  a  half  be- 
fore Partnership.  Going  arouni  the  turn  the  latter 
closed  up.  and  was  soon  even  with  Fugitive,  so  that 
the  pair  were  headland  head  at  the  quarter,  with 
First  Chance'  a  len|crth  in  front  of  them.  In  this  man- 
ner they  ran  down!  tjhe  back  stretch  and  round  the 
lower  turn  into  the  sfretch.  where  Partnership  fell 
back,  and  Fugitive  closed  upon  First  Chance.  The 
latter,  however,  kep^  his  head  in  front  past  the  fur- 
long pole,  but  Fugitive  had  something  left  for  a 
finish,  and  when  they  were  at  the  lower  end  of  the 
grand  stand!  Swim!  [caUed  upon  First  Chance  for  a 
final  effort,  but  Fqgipve  ha*!  him.  and  beat  him  out 
by,  half  a  lengthy  in  1:59.  Partnership  waa  two 
lengths  behiiid.  After  the  race  Fugitive  was  offered 
at  auction,  land  !was  bonght  by  James  W.  BeU

A  CHILD  m^S  OF  HYDROPEOBIA, 


rEARS     OLD     BITTEK     BT     A 


SETTER  DOG — UIS  TERRIBLE   SUFFEBINOS. 

The  Health  Dep  sotment  yesterday  transmitted 

to  the  Coroners'  oHce  a  certificate  of  the  death  of 
Martin  Lorenz.  a^e^  4  years  and  7  months,  a  victim 
of  hydrophobia,  w  10  died  at  the  residence  of  his 
parents,  Xo.  437  W  eat  Thirty-eighth-street,  on  Satur- 
day evening.  Ten  ■  r;eeks  ago  the  child  waa  bitten  by 
a  setter  dog  under  t  le  following  circoznBtances :  The 
*wimAl,  hqnted  and  maddened  by  a  number  of  mis- 
chievous fak>79  in  th  ■  neighborhood  of  Xinth-avenoe 
and  Thirty-eighth-sj  reet,  ran  into  the  hallway  of  the 
house  in  iwliicb  th  \  Lorenz  family  reside,  and  en- 
countering the  child  there  bit  him  several 
times  od  the  lees.  Hia  parents  immediately 
took  him  to  a  neighboring  drue  store,  where  the 
wounds  were  canietired.  They  healed  in  a  compara- 
tively brief  period,]  And  no  further  trouble  wa.s  an- 
ticipated. C>n  Thuiaday  last,  however,  the  appear^ 
ance  and  actions  of  khe  child  showed  that  he  wa^  not 
quite  well;  I>urlngjthe  day  his  eyes  remained  abnor- 
mallv  dilajted.  On  the  following  day  he  manifested  a 
deciaed  ayersJon  to!  Water  and  other  liquid.*^,  and  aa 
the  day  wore  on  he'' Waa  repeatedly  seized  with  con- 
vulsions. !  Dr.  RoecBger.  of  No.  J12  ^^t  Thlrty- 
flfth-street,  who  wai  called  to  attend  him  on  Satur- 
day mominii.  foundjthe  child  subject  to  tetanic  con- 
VTusions  at  brief  intervals,  accompanied  by  the  usual 
hydrophobic  symptbrns,  such  as  frothing  from  the 
mouth  and  gasping. 

In  moments  of  apparently  extreme  agony  the  little 
Bufterer  would  grasp  his  throat,  as  if  he  were  tinder- 
goln^  a  choking;;  sensation.  He  t^azed  wildly  at  the 
ehining  bulb  of  a  thi  »rmometer  which  the  physician 
produwi  for  the  purpose  of  testing  the  temperature 
of  the  child's  body,  and  became  convulsed  at 
the  sight  M  a  cup  of  water.  The  jihysician  adminis- 
tered a  stifong  do8e|of  hydrate  of  chloral,  and  subse- 
Suently  injected  a  puantity  of  the  aame  drug.  I>r8. 
*ay  and  Janeway,  of  the  Health  Department,  and 
Dr.  Hammond,  who]  visited  the  child  on  Saturday, 
at  the  rwjuest  of  j  Dr.  Uoediger.  nnhesitatinely  pro- 
nounced the  case  oi»  of  hydrophobia-  The  child  died 
at  9  P.  M.  the  same  day.  Deputy  Coroner  Mc-

THE  STEIKE  AT  POST  JOSySTOX, 


GERilANS     IMPORTED     FEOM    NEW-YORK     TO 


TAKE  THE  PLACE  OF  THE  STRIKERS — 
SOME  OF  THEM  QUIT  WORK — PEACEABLE 
ATTITUDE    OF    THE    MEN    OUT   OP  WORK. 

The  entire  PoUce  force  of  Bayonne,  under 
command  of  Chiefl  Whitney,  and  30  specials  from 
Jersey  City,  in  addition  to  a  large  force  from  the 
Central  Railroad,  ^ere  on  duty  yesterday  at  the  Port 
Johnston '  eaal  docks,  at  Bergen  Point,  iu  antici- 
pation of  n  riot  which  was  thought  imminent. 
On  Saturday  night  the  old  men  held  a  meeting  in  a 

public  hall  it  Berglen  Point,  and  were  addressed  by 

111 
Father  Killeen,  the|  briest  of  St  Mary's  Church,  ad- 
vising themi  to  refraiu  from  any  lawlessness,  even 
though  men  jshonld  [be  brought  from  New- York  to  fill 
their  places!  He|  also  counseled  them  to  re- 
turn to  their  I  work  at  the  terms  offered  by 
the  company  Th^  former  advice  the  men  prom- 
ised faithfully  io  observe,  but  they  would 
not  listen  to ;  any  Bi^ggestiona  which  looked  to  ?  re- 
sumption of  .work,  imless  at  their  own  terms.  They 
say  that  they  do  not  want  an  increase  of  pay,  but 
they  want  an  opportnnity  to  put  in  full  time,  and  be 
paid  for  what  lalwr  they  perform.  The  work  has 
been,  by  contract. ;  at  iv  cents  per  ton,  and  with 
this  figuzje  .  they  are  satisfied,  but  it  is 
the  extn^  labor,  without  compensation,  that 
they  objei^t-  For  |  Instance,  before  commencing 
the  business  of  the  day,  it  is  necessary  that  the  men 
should  place  in  position  the  planks  on  which  the  coal 
is  wheeled  to  the  boats  which  are  in  process  of  load- 
ing, and  this  work  consumes  about  two  hours,  for 
which  there  la  no  pay.  After  a  few  hours'  work,  it  is 
not  unusual  for  pitlers  to  come  stopping  the  men 
and  sendiniir  them  to  some  other  point,  by  which  an- 
other long  [delay  is  occasioned,  and  in  this  way  the 
paj-ing  houira  are  so  cut  down  that  they  are  unable  to 
make  over  [40  or  50  cents  a  day. 

On  Saturday  the  company  engr^red  50  Germans  at 
a  New- York  agency,  and  yesterday  morning  they 
were  takeri  to  Port  Johnston  on  a  tug-boatr^Vhen 
the  new-comers  went  to  work,  the  old  hands  stood 
at  a  respectable  distance,  but  uo  threat  or  offer  of 
violence  Was  made.  \  Mayor  Mei^gs  appeared  among 
tliem  and  delivered  a  speech  adviBing  them  to  return 
to  their  wuJjrk,  but,  although  the  men  listened  atten- 
tively, they  steadfastly  refused  to  be  nioved  from 
the  positicoi  they:  Jhad  assumed.  About  9  o'clock 
Sheriff  Laverty  ^rrived,  and,  greatly  to  the 
surprise  01  all  present,  with  a  single  deputy. 
He  went  anLong  the  men  and,  in  kind  but  firm  tones, 
informed  tliem  that  he  intended  to  perform  his  dutj', 
but  hoped  tjhey  woulii  not  make  it  necessary  to  ex- 
ercise his  powersj  i  The  men,  almost  to  a  man, 
offered  to  ;  itand  by  him  and  assist  in  the  arrest  of 
any  of  tl  eir  ntimper  who  should  break  the 
peace.  ly  noonj  several  of  the  Germans  gave 
np  the  vork  aofd  started  for  the  Bergen 
Point  Dep  it,  intent  on  reaching  New-York  as  soon 
'  as  possible,  •'hey ;  were  met  by  the  strikers,  and,  af- 
ter being  ti  eated  ana  several  furnished  with  dinner, 
tickets  were  given|  to  those  who  were  without 
means  to  j^ay  their!  fare.  At  night  the  new  men 
were  paid  what  they  had  earned  daring  the  day,  and 
were  taken  back  to  New- York  in  the  tug. 

The  suijerintendent  of  the  coal  docks  said  last 
evening  th^t  the  company  wonld  have  a  force  "f  150 
men  at  work  this  morning:,  and  the  same  vigilance  on 
the  part  of  the  officials  will  be  maint&inc-d.  The  men 
who  are  standing  out  have,  by  their  peaceable 
behavior,  won  the  good  wiahes  of  the  dtjzens,  and  a 
numb^  of  prominent  gentlemen  have  interested 
themselves  to  make  !an  effort  to  bring  about  a  settle- 
ment favorable  to  the  men.

The  shaft  of  the  steam-boat  Idlewild  waa 
cracked  on  Sunday  night,  and  the  vessel  had  some 
difficulty  to  make  her  trip  from  Coney  Island  without 
meeting  with  a  greater  disaster.  Slie  left  the  Island 
at  7;4o  o'clock,  and  reached  the  dock  at  the  foot  of 
Franklin -street  an  hour  and  a  half  later.  The  injury 
to  the  shaft  was  discovered  when  the  steamer  was  at 
Port  LAfayette.  and  the  engineer  Teduced  his  speed, 
in  order  to  avoid  a  complete  break-down.

and  dance-house  at  Coney  Island,  and  on  each  occa- 
sion a  jury  in  a  Justice's  court  has  decided  for  the 
defendant.  A  similar  charge  against  the  same  man 
was  tried  before  Justice  Ferry  and  a  jury  yesterday. 
Several  witnesses  swore  that  they  hart  ptu-ch&sed  and 
drank  lager  in  Feltman's  house  on  Sunday,  the  24th 
inst.,  ana  no  testimony  was  oflferedfor  the  defense, 
hut  notwithstanding  this  fact  the  jury  brought  in  a 
verdict  of  not  guilty. 

An  amusing  incident  occorred  in  Judge

made  for  the  appointment  of  Commissioners  to  ap- 
praise damages  for  land  taken  on  Richardson-street 
oy  the  Manhattan  Beach  Railroad.  A  large  number 
of  small  property-holders  were  present,  and,  suppos- 
ing that  the  allowance  of  $10  costs,  which  tho  court 
announced  in  auotiier  case,  referred  to  them,  they 
commenced  \'iolent  protestations  for  fair  play.  After 
a  cross-fire  from  a  dozen  or  less  of  the  interested 
parties  they  were  _  finally  quiete*!,  and  the  court  an- 
noimced  that  he  would  be  careful  to  appoint  honest 
zaen  on  the  commission.

The  strike  on  the  Lehigh  Valley  Railroad  has 
petcessitated  the  closmg  of  the  Morria  CanaL  Friday 
last  the  men  at  Easton,  Penn..  were  directed  to  move 
out  the  loaded  boats,  water  is  to  be  drawn  out  of  the 
canal  between  Easton  and  Jersey  City,  and  work  is  to 
be -entirely  suspended. 

Miss  Pupke,  daughter  of  John  Pupke,  of  Jersey 
City,  was  bathing  at  Long  Branch  on  Saturday,  and

swimmer — to  return.  Mr.  Walter  E.  HilSeth,  son

gram's  mill  on  the  new  scale  of  prices,  which  is  pearly 
the  same  as  that  of  last  year.  Other  mills,  with  the 
exception  of  Stnmges'.  are  expected  to  agree  to  the 
new  scale.  Soleliac's  broad  silk  weavers  have  struci, 
and  complaints  of  intimidation  by  them  toward  the 
non-strikers  have  been  nmde. 

An  attempt  to  sell  the  Hamilton  Slill,  at  Pat- 
erson,  having  failed,  it  is  now  probable  that  the  own- 
ers, Messrs.  S.  Bachman  &  Brother,  woolen  shawl 
manufacturers,  who  employ  several  hundred  hands 
at  their  mills  near  Lowell.  Alass.,  will  be  obliged  to 
return  to  Paterson  to  rebuild  their  factory  recently 
destroyed  by  fire  there,  owing  to  the  fact  that  their 
water-power  lease  has  still  lo  years  to  run.

SMUGGLED  VXDESCLOTSIXO. 

The  seizure-room  in  the  Custom-houae  was 
yesterday  made  richer  by  about  $400  wortJi  of  goods 
which  had  been  brought  into  the  country  from 
Europe  without  payment  of  duty.  The  authorities 
having  the  matter  in  band  were  extremely  reticent 
abnut  giving  information.  It  was  learned,  hpwever, 
in  spite  of  their  secresy,  that  the  goods  were  brought 
to  this  port  in  the  City  of  Chester  about  a  month 
ago,  and  that  they  had  been  passed  by  an  Inspector 
as  private  effects — clothing  which  had  been  wom- 
The  goods  consisted  of  a  large  number  of  ladies' 
undergarments,  handfiomely  embroidered,  in  quantitv 
sufficient  to  fill  a  trunk, "  and  about  two  dozen  of 
plush  hats,  such,  as  are  worn  by  the  clergy  of  the 
Catholic  Church  in  South  America.  It  is  probable . 
that  this  seizure  will  not  be  the  last  made  on  the  in- 
formation upon  which  these  goods  were  discovered, 
yet  the  parties  are  entirely  disconnected  from  the 
rin^  which  made  the  silk  entries  without  payment  of 
duties.  

A  COyPIDENCE  OPERATOR'S  TROUBLES. 
The  order  of  arrest  against  Andrew  J,  Millen, 
the  confidence  operator,  who  was  arrested  in  Janu- 
ary last  by  a  Sheriff's  officer,  and  who  is  at  present 
confined  in  Ludlow-Stxeet  Jail,  was  vacated  yester- 
day on  the  receipt  of  a  requisition  from  Gov.  Hart- 
ranft  demanding  his  presence  in  Philadeljjhia  to  an- 
swer another  charge  of  confidence  operating.  It  is 
alleged  that  some  time  ago  he  started  a  coal  yard  in 
Phifadelphia,  and  took  into  partnership  with  him  a 
young  man,  of  whom  he  demanded  a  certain  security. 
His  coal  business  having  been  unprofitable,  he  sold 
hia  stock  at  a  depreciated  value  and  departed  for 
Kew-York,  forgetting  to  return  to  his  young  partner 
the  securitv  the  latter  had  famished  him.  The  pris- 
oner is  still  in  the  custody  of  Sheriff  Reilly.  await- 
ing tne  arrival  of  a  special  officer  from  Philadelphia. 

A  CAR  COXBUCTOR  ASSAULTED. 
James  Briody,  condu<jtor  of  car  N"o.  2,  Smith- 
street  line,  Brooklyn,  turned  a  dninken  ruffian  named 
Hugh  Bums  off  the  car  at  the  comer  of  Smith  and 
Douglass  streets  on  Sunday  night.  Bums,  who  was 
one  of  a  party  of  roughs  returning  from  Coney  Island, 
threatened,  it  is  said,  to  split  the  conductor's  head. 
While  standing  on  the  b«;k  of  the  car  on  the  return 
trip  from  f^ilton  Ferry.  Briody  was  knocked  sense- 
less by  a  blow  on  the  back  of  the  head  from  a  stone 
thrown  at  the  same  comer  where  Bums  had  been 
put  off.    The  Police  of  the  Third  Precinct  snbee- 

Suently  arrested  Burns  and  John  J.  Callas  and  John 
.  Berkley,  who  were  with  him  on  the  car.  Bums 
was  yesterday  committed  to  await  the  result  of 
Briody's  injuries,  which  are  serious.  Callas  and 
Berkley,  who  are  liquor  dealers,  were  held  as  wit- 
nesses. __    

CSARGED  WITS  A  CRniiyAL  ASSAULT. 
Mrs.  Annie  Foster,  wife  of  an  East  Kockaway 
fisherman,  has  accused  George  Brockett,  her  hus- 
band's partner,  with  having  committed  three  crimi- 
nal assaults  upon  her.  The  first  attempt,  three  years 
affo,  and  the  second,  two  months  ago,  were,  she  says, 
successful,  and  that  three  or  four  weeks  ago  he  made 
another  assault,  but  failed.  Then  she  tola  her  hus- 
band. Her  excuse  for  so  long  a  silence  is  that  each 
time  he  threatened  to  kill  her  if  she  exposed  him- 
Mr.  Foster  has  arranged  a  separation  from  his  wife, 
and  has  commenced  suit  for  crim,  eon,  against  Brock- 
ett. Brockett  has  also  been  indiSted  and  placed  un- 
der bonds  lU  the  sum  of  $1,000.  Both  trials  are  set 
down  for  October.

A  BRIGATINE  IK  A  SEA  VY  GALE. 
The  Swedish  brigantine  Aurora  Australia, 
Sjogren,  master,  arrired  at  this  port  yesterday,  129 
days  from  Batavia,  with  a  cargo  of  coffee,  tea.  nut- 
megs, &C.,  for  Funch,  Edye  &  Co.  The  vessel  ex- 
perienced terrific  weather  off  the  Cape  of  Good 
Hope,  which  she  sighted  on  the  24th  of  Mar.  On 
that  date  a  heavv  gale  set  in,  which  lasted  for  six 
days,  during  which  the  ship  was  tossed  about  in  a 
heavy  sea,  which  broke  over  her  aide  a  number  of 
times,  completely  filling  her  deck  and  smashing  in 
her  cabin  and  foreca.stle  doors.  Twice  she  was 
thrown  on  her  starboard  beam  ends,  in  which  poa- 
tion  she  remained  each  time  for  several  hours,  but 
was  finally  righted,  though  with  extreme  difficulty.

•  Tie  interest  which  attached  itself,  two 
monihs  ago,  to  the  fortresses  of  the  Danube^as 
now  (concentrated  itself  upon  the  sis  gateways 
of  th  e  Balkan,  through  the  two  westernmost  of 
whicb  the  Russians  hare  succeeded  in  penetrat- 
ing. South  of  the  Balkan  the  position  is  briefly 
«s follows:  The  main  strength  of  the  Turkish 
f orc(  s  is  ■  concentrated  at  Adrianople, 
wheje  the  railways  from  Yamboli,  Phil- 
ippe >olis,  and  Constantinople,  and  the 
hixhi  roads  which  traverse  Eastern 
Bou:  nelia,  meet  as  at  a  common  centre.  Suleiman 
Pmsl:  a  holds  Kasaniik  with  a  strong  detach- 
men  ^  while  Gen.  Gourkho  and  Prince  Mirski 
bsve  fallen  back  to  the  month  of  the  Schipka 
,  the  most  direct  approach   from   Timova 


tfabrova.  The  northern  ascent  of  the  pass, 
after  leaving  Gabrova,.  rises  gradually  through 
thick  wooas  to  the  crown  of  a  ridge  4,500  feet 
in  height,  after  which  the  ground  falls  steeply 
away  to  the  village  of  Schipka,  whence  the  de- 
icent  is  tolerably  easy  to  the  beautiful  valley  of 
tr»«»Ti1ilt|  poetically  styled  the  "  rose-garden  of 
Turkey." 

MOST  DIRECT  KOAD  INTO  EOCJIELIA. 
A  glance  at  the  map  will  suf&ce  to  show  that 
.  Qtf  line  of  1|arch  from  Timova,  through 
Drenova,  Gabrova,  and  the  Schipka  defile  is 
the  most  direct  road  into  Ronmelia  from  the 
point  of  crossing  at  Sistova,  and  that 
next  in  order  comes  the  Tvarditza  Pass, 
>  little  further  to  the  east.  It  was  close  to 
this  point  that  Gen.  Gourkho  effected  his  pas- 
tage,  not,  however,  by  the  defile  itself,  hut  hy  a 
xoountaiii  oath  dwbqaching  ugqa   the  villao*  at 


Hainkoi,  on  its  western  side.  This  pass,  like 
the  Schipka.  is  approached  from  Timova.  by 
tiiming  to  the  left  instead  of  the  right,  skirting 
the  Slatzar  (Saltarl  IJiver,  passing  through  tne 
town  of  Helena,  or  Jelena,  and  thence  foUoxring 
I  the  horse-track  which,  zigzagging  across  the 
ridge  of  Tv-arditza-  Planina.  reaches  at  length  a 
village  of  the  same  name  on  the  southern  slope. 
Close  to  this  point  the  three  minor  ranges  of 
the, Balkan,  known  respectively  as  Kutchuk, 
(little,)  Stara-Planina,  (old  | mountains.)  and 
Emineh-Dagh,  unite  in  one  chain.  The  latter, 
named  after  its  terminating  portion.  Cape  Em- 
ineh  on  the  Black  Sea,  is  the  highest  and  most 
formidable  of  the  three,  and  only  passable  by 
an  invading  army  at  four  points ;  for  the  fifth 
route,  from  Varna  along  the  coast  to  Missivri, 
turns  rather  than  crosses  the  chain.  Moreover, 
it  and  its  neighbor,  the  Pravadi-Kouprikoi 
route,  though  followed  with  perfect  suc- 
cess by  Gen.  Roth  and  Gen.  Kndiger, 
in  1829,  were  so  only  after  the  fall  of  Varna, 
and  with  the  active  co-operation  of  the  Russian 
fleet;  whereas  now,  with  Varna  and  Shumla 
still  untaken,  and  a  fleet  of  20  Turkish  iron- 
clads sweeping  unopposed  over  the  Black  Sea, 
either  route,  even  if  practicable,  would  be 
perilous  in  the  highest  degree.  The  ap- 
proach to  the  Nadir-Derbend  pass  espe- 
cially, through  a  narrow  defile  capable  of 
being  completely  closed  by  a  single 
earthwork,  and  containing  no  less  than  40  ford- 
ing-places,  might  be  made  into  a  second  Ther- 
mopyUe,  especially  were  a  f  ortifled  camp  estab- 
lished on  the  high  plateau  just  in  front  of  the 
pass,  at  the  junction  of  th^  two  roads  from 
Yenikai  and  Kanfrikoi,  wliere  20,000  men 
might  encamp  with  ease. 

IMPORTANCE  OP  THE  CENTJEAI,  AND  ■VVE8TEBN 
j  PASSESJ 

Bot  it  is  the  central  and  western  passes  which 
are  likely  to  bear  the  brunt  of  the  present  war, 
the  Russians  having  made  their  attack  via  Sis- 
tova  and  Central  Bulgaria,  instead  of,  as  here- 
tofore, by  the  great  bend  of'  the  Danube  and 
through  the  Dohrudsch».j  The  two  western 
~    and  Traiditza,  have  been 


Xadii-Derbend      and       the     "  shore

route." 


passes 
Kotlenski- 
Buazj  and  Dobrot,  the  approaches 
of  which  are  commanded,  respectively,  by  the 
towns  of  Osman-Bazar  and  Shumla.  The 
■former  place,  recently  evacuatf^d  by  the  Rus- 
^sians  fet  the  approach  of  Mehemet  AU,  holds  the 
junction  of  the  two  high-roads  from  Rustchuk 
and  I  Asgrad,  on  the  Vama-Rustchuk  Eaihvay. 
Thence  a  road,  in  very  bad  repair,  runs 
isoutbeast  over  the  Binar  Mountains,  a 
kind  of  outwork  of  the  Kutchuk  range, 
passe  I  through  Tchatak,  and  crossing  the 
Kutchuk  itself,  runs  down  into  •  the  fun- 
nel-sl  aped  ravine,  whence  the  little 
town  of  Kaian  takes  its  Bulgarian  name  of 
*'  Kotel,"  (boiler. )  The  black,  narrow,  tunnel- 
like  defile  of  the  famous  "  Iron  Gate,"  which 
lies  beyond  the  toWn.  seems  at  first  sight  abso- 
lutely impregnable ;  but,  like  Thermopyte,  it 
has  I .  winding  path  to  the  right,  by  ascending 
whicl  t  the  enemy's  skirmishers  might  fall  upon 
the  d  ifenders  in  the  rear  and  destroy  them  all. 
'  Thi  I  other  of  the  two  roads  from  Kasan  leads 
down  to  the  narrow  but  not  very  formidable  pass 
of  Eiotlenski-Buaz,  and,  parsing  through  it, 
curves  round  south-eastward  to  the  Roumelian 
town  of  Kamabad.  The  latter  place  is  also 
accesiiible  by  the  third  of  the  central  passes — 
that  named  from  the  adjacent  town  of 
bobr  )t ;  but  this  route  is  seldom  followed, 
owin|[  to  its  extreme  difficulty  and  the  total 
Want 'of  forage  along  the  whole  latter  half  of 
the  way.  Moreover,  it  can  only  be  made  avail- 
able by  the  capture  or  complete  investment  of 
Shunua,  from  which  it  is  the  most  direct  ap- 
proac  h  to  the  Balkan.  The  passage  of  the  shal- 
low 1  [amtchik,  near  Eski-Stamboul,  where  the 
river  is  little  more  than  20  yards  broad,  and 
with  a  firm  rocky  bed,  is  easy  enough;  but 
the  crossing  of  the  Stara-Planina,  by  a 
pass  900  feet  high,  the  fording  of  the  Lesser 
Eamtchik,  the  descent  to,  and  ascent  from,  the 
hoUoW  in  which  lie  Tchalikawak,  are  more 
g^riojis  matters ;  while  the  subsequent  ravines 
andiionntain  birrents,  the  scramble  of  2,000 
aa  alao  |the   two    eastenu  t,£eet  iwthe  Dobrot  Pass,  the  toilsome  dAanAJit 


to  Kamabad,  and  the  terrific  gorge  of  Buyuk- 
Derbend,  between  that  place  and  Adrianople, 
render  it  highly  improbslble  that  the  ■Russians 
will  choose  this  route  ivhile  the  easier  passes  of 
the  west  lie  opeh  to  thpm. 

NORTH  OP  THE  BALKAN. 

The  situation  nortlJ  of  !the  Balkan  is  less 
easily  grasped,  on  account:  of  the  innumerable 
detachments  into  which  both  armies  are  broken 
up ;  but  the  general  position  of  the  Turks  may 
be  defined  as  that  o^  two  widely-extended 
fingers,  the  Ru-ssians  lying  like  a  third  finger 
between  them,  from  Til^nova  to  Biela  and 
Sistova.  On  the  east  of  this  position  the  Turks 
hold  the  strategic  line  of  Rustchuk,  Ras- 
grad,  Gski-Djuma,  and  Osman-Bazar.  On 
the  west  of  it,  thpy  are  disposed  in  echelon  from 
Selvi  to  Lovatz,  (Loftcha, )  and  from  Liovatz  to 
Plevna.  At  Plevna  itself  the  Ttirks  hold  the 
town  and  theirl  former  positions  around  it, 
while  the  Russians,  having  recovered  their  lost 
ground,  stand  facing  them  in  a  half  circle — 
Prince  Schackosky  at  POredin,  six  miles  to 
the  north  of  the  town, ;  and  Baron  Krudener, 
with  the  main  body,  at  Tchirtchandik, 
three  miles  further  to  the  east.  Mean- 
while the  Roumanians  are  concentrated  in  |and 
about  Nikopolis,  and  the  Russian  reserves  are 
mustering  in  the  rear  at  Ploiesti.  On  the  east 
of  the  quadrilateral,  again,  lies  (jren.  Zimmer- 
man with  the  Army  of  the  Dobrudscha,  while 
on  the  west  of  it  a  smaller  Russian  force  is 
threatening  Rustchuk  and  Basgrad. 

APPEARANCE    OP  THE  LINE  OP  INVASION. 

Looking  again  at  the  map,  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  ettire  line  of  invasion,  from  the  Boumanian 
border  to  the  Kceanlik  Valley,  presents  the  ap- 
pearance of  an  arm  stretched  out  to  its  full 
length,  the  hanid  being  represented  by  Gen. 
(Jourkho's  army  in  the  Schipka  Pass, 
tlie  elbow  by)  the  Army  of  Timova, 
and  the  shoulder  by  the  forces  massed 
between  Ploiesti  and  the  Danube.  This 
would  undoubtedly  be  a  situation  of  extreme 
peril  in  the  face  of  an  active  and  daring  enemy, 
but  it  has,  neveithelest,  one  graat  advantage- 
that  of  a  central  position.  A  glaaee  will 
sttf&ce    to     show    the    distanoe    wbiiUi. 


rates  Osman  Pasha,  at  Plevna,  from  ileheraet 
All,  at  Osman-Bazar,  and  l^e  impossibility 
of  effecting  a  jxmction  without  a  decisive  breach 
of  the  Russian  line.  Meanwhile,  the  second 
ponton  bridge  at  Nikopolis  will  offer  an  easy 
passage  to  the  reserve  forces  beyond  the  Danube, 
and  the  batteries  of  Giurgevo'  will  keep  Rus- 
tchuk fully  employed  on  one  side  at  least. 

But  the  most  advantageous  movement  for  the 
invaders,  could  they  but  obtain  Austria's  con- 
sent to  it,  would  be  the  flank  march  through 
Servia,  which  the  Czar  is  now  so  anxious  to  at- 
tempt. In  pursuance  of  this  plan  a  Russian 
force  would  cross  the  Danube  near  the  mouth  of 
the  Timok,  move  up  the  valley  of  the  river  so  as 
to  turn  the  Turki.sh  position  at  Widdin,  and, 
leaving  the  Servian  Army  to  cover  its  rear  and 
keep  up  its  communications,  advance  upon 
Pirot  and  the  great  water-shed  of  Sophia,  oc- 
cupy the  city,  and  come  down  upon  Phil- 
ippopolis  by  the  great  road  through  Tatar-Ba- 
zardjik,  thus  completely  turning  the 
line  of  the  Balkan,  and  entering  Roumelia 
from  the  rear.  This  was  the  route 
actually  followed  by  the  Polish  King  Vladislav 
when  he  invaded  Turkey  in  14jJ3,  and  the 
result  was  the  fall  of  Nissa,  Pirot,  and  Sop)iia, 
and  the  total  defeat  of  the  Turks  at  the  Topol- 
nitza  Pass,  near  Slatitza — a  defeat  which  at 
once  terminated  the  campaigr. 

TIBNOVA  VITALLT  IMPOETAKT  TO  THE 
RUSSIANS. 
In  conclusion,  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  point 
out  the  vital  importance  to  the  Russians  of 
holding  Timova  at  any  cost.  It  is  the'  central 
point  in  the  line  of  defense  which  holds  a.snn- 
der  the  two  lateral  columns  of  the  victorious 
enemy.  It  commands  the  road  which  must  be 
traversed  by  the  reinforcements  from  beyond 
the  Danube,  and  likewise  that  by  which  supplies 
of  every  kind  must  be  sent  to  the  hard-pressed 
troops  now  holding  the  Schipka  Pass.  On  the 
other  hand,  should  the  impending  attack  upon 
the  Turkish  position  prove  snccessftil,  and  Os- 
man Pasha's  defeat  let  loose  the  whole  Russian 
Army  upon  Mehemet  Ali,  it  is  easy  to  see  in 
what  a  precarious  situation  the  two  leaders, 
I.  iddelr  separated  from  each  other,  and  with  no 


adequate  supports  to  fall  back  upon, 
would  suddenly  find  themselves  placed. 
It  is  true  that  a  vigorous  sortie 
of  the  forces  shut  up  in  Shumla  and  Rustchuk 
might  give  the  fortunes  of  the  campaign  another 
shape  ;  but  the  massing  of  troops  by  the  Rus- 
sians at  Biela  and  along  the  line  of  the  lower 
Jantra  i^hows  that  this  possibility  has  been  fore- 
seen ;  and  when  the  recently  mobilized  corps 
d'arnih  come  to  the  front,  the  advance  of  the 
invading  army  will,  in  all  probability,  be  her- 
alded by  the  complete  investment  of  the  for- 
tresses of  the  quadrilateral.

London,  Aug.  7. — ^At  a  Conservative  dem- 
onstration at  HatSeld  yesterday  Lord  Salis- 
bury, in  a  speech,  made  the  following  reference 
to  the  Government's  foreign  policy  :  *'  We  ear- 
nestly deprecated  this  war.  We  are  the  allies 
and  friends  of  both  contending  parties.  We 
desire  our  neutrality  not  only  to  bC'  neutrality 
of  act,  but  of  speech.  But  I  will 
ask  you  to  believe  that  while  we  are 
thoroughly  convinced  that  the  patriotism 
of  Englishmen,  if  we  need  to  appeal  to  it,  is 
equal  to  any  emergency,  and  will  shrink  before 
no  sacrifice  which  the  interests  or  honor  of  the 
country  may  demand,  we  feel  in  all  its  inten- 
sity that  horror  of  the  crimes  and  calamities  of 
war  which  this  coimtry  has  always  >een  honor- 
ably distinguished  for  entertaining.  Let  us 
earnestly  hope — ^the  two  objects  being,  as  we  sin- 
cerely believe,  in  no  way  divergent — that  we 
shall  be  able  to  conduct  this  country  through  all 
difficulties  without  trenching  in  the  faintest  de- 
gree on  its  interests  or  honor,  and  without  los- 
ing for  a  single  moment  the  priceless  blessing 
of  peace." 

Lord  Sandon  also  spoke.  Bte  said  hO;  tmsted 
that  when  the  moment  of  aettlemont  came  they 
should  all  bear  in  mind  that  it  was  the  greatest 
interest  of  England  that  every  country  in  the 
mnld  should  be  jaotpecmia,  and  that  it  am

assailed  ;  and  *'  I  hope  also."'  he  said,  **  tliat  wo 
shall  avoid  the  fault  which,  in  my  opinion,  has 
been  the  great  fault  of  European  powers  in;thd 
past,  of  interfering  on  behalf  only  of  our  oore- 
ligionists,  instead  of  asking  the  Turk  to  saeuro

IISTIMONT  OP  THE  I>SFENI>AKT — ^HB  EX- 
PIAEfS  THE  ATPAIBS  OF  SBVKtAL  BA17K- 
KUPT  BANKS— THE  JCPFECT  OF  EEAL  ES- 
TATE DEPRECUTION. 

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  7. — In  the  Ellis 
trial  to-(lay,  at  the  opening  of  the  Senate,  D.  C 
Ell ia.  Bank  Superintendent,  testified  that  the 
first;  time  he  ever  heard  the  statement  ahout 
the  Third- Avenne  Bank,  as  sworn  to  by  Isaac 
Smith,  a  clerk  in  the  department,  was  at  Sara- 
tov ;  don't  ^remember  any  conversation  with 
Smith  about  that  bank ;  there  was  a  special 
exKmioation  by  Reid,  Aldrich,  and  others,  in 
!*'p-i!,  1873;  knew  of  the  $150,000  bond 
[Which  were  to  be  given  by  the  Trustees; 
Was  inHnenced  by  all  '  the  facts  in 
this  knowledge  ;  went  to  New-York 
jthe  day  Duncan,  Sherman  &  Co.  failed;  saw 
iMr.  Ci?co,  and  he  cotmseled  delay ;  saw  eight  or 
ten  other  bcsiness.men;  they  said  the  market 
was  excited;  it  continued  so  all  the  Summer; 
ncted  on  the  opinion  of  these  men;  anticipated 
khat  tbe  closing  of  this  bank  would  be  very  dis- 
tu-^trous  to  other  banks ;  attention  was  first  called 
|to  the  :itechan:es'  nnd  Traders'  Bank  bv  a  letter 
from  Fteid  in  1874  about  the  trouble  with 
^he  Secretary;  I  immediately  wenfc  to  New- 
pfork;  tbe  bank  deposits  were  small;  they 
continued  to  increase  to  the  time  of  the  closing 
of  the  Third- Avenue  Bank  ;  the  complaint  was 
a;;aiuAt  the  management,  not  aj^nst  the 
Solvency  of  the  bank  ;  the  officers  were  called  a 
fr-t  of  robbers  ;  examined  the  President  and 
t'lnance  Committee  ;  found  them  running  on 
in  tlicir  own  way ;  gave  them  the  choice  to 
close  iip  or  behave  themselves  ;  found  the  bank 
financially  sound ;  when  Reid  examined  the 
bank  in  december,  1874,  showing  a  deficiency, 
the  Secretary  came  to  see  me  ;  told  the  Secreta- 
ry the  Trustees  must  make  up  the  deficiency  or 
1  would  close  them  np ;  the  letter  of  December 
25  was  to  know  what  had  been  done :  received 
a  telegram  saj-ing  they  had  put  the  bank  In 
?hape;  Reid  reported  in  187G  that  the  deficiency 
had  boeu  made  good  ;  relied  on  Reid's  report,  aa 
I  had  no  knowledge  to  the  contrary;  next  had 
atti^-nlion  called  to  the  bank  in  August,  1S76 ; 
Reid  said,  when  told  to  go  and  look  at  the 
Beach-strt»et  mortgage  books,  that  they  were 
not  systematically  kept ;  they  seemed  all  right; 
w.i«t<in  Rochester  when  Lamb  turned  the  bank 
over  to  the  Attorney-General,  and  approved  his 
action^  instructed  Reid  to  keep  a  watch  on  the 
bank,  and  others,  and  report;  returned  the  let- 
ters sent  by  Lamb,  -and  told  him  to  look  to  the 
matter  in  my  absence. 

After  recess  Mr.  Ellis  resumed :  In  the  Pall 
of  ls7r>.  on  the  report  of  Mr.  Reid,  commenced 
proceetlings  to  dose'tho  Peoples'  Savings  Bank ; 
Borae  of  the  oflicers  called  and  proposed  to  make 
up  the  deficiency,  and,  as  the  bank  had  changed 
its  location,  anticipated  better  business;  the 
Trustees  had  put  in  one  bond  ;  proposed  ohang- 
inir,  giving  individual  ones  more  binding;  the 
suit  was  prosecuted  no  further  then;  went  to 
New-York  and  looked  into  the  matter :  examined 
1  he  Trustees*,  bond  s  and  mortgages,  and  was  satis- 
fied the  deficiency  would  be  made  good  in  full ; 
Reid  and  the  Superintendent  called  at  tbe  bank 
and  made  an  informal  examination  of  the  as- 
sets :  did  not  make  a  formal  report ;  only  knew 
that  Reid  reported  when  the  report  was  pro- 
duced on  trial ;  the  deiiciency  rei>orted  by  Keid 
was  more  than  covered  by  bonds  held  by  the 
department ;  thinks  he  acted  under  the  letter 
received  Xovember  11,  and  telegraphed  Keid  to 
Bend  formal  report:  ^vrote  the  Attorney-General 
to  close  the  bank ;  followed  the  figures  of 
Reid's  letter;  the  Attorney-General  prepated 
the  »ummon:<,  giving  the  figures  in  the  letter  ; 
when  the  formal  report  came,  as  the  figures 
ciitTcred.  he  changed  them  to  agree  with  tii© 
formal  report ;  after  that  the  Attorney-General 
hsd  no  further. control  over  tbe^  bank  ;  went 
with  the  Kectiver  to  witness  the  deposit  of  the 
i!s=ftR  of  the  bank:  the  Receiver  of  the 
SIfchanics*  and  Traders*  Bank  found,  after  sev- 
eral months  work,  that  the  ledgers  were  not  cor- 
rect as  Rf  id  hail  accepted  them  ;  asked  Smith, 
rt.-i  ho  bad  been  in  the  department  many 
year.**,  if  the  Loaners'~  "Bank  had  ever 
iiiade  a  repurt  ;  he  said  it  bad  made  a 
statement,  but  did  not  know  what  had  become 
of  it :  he  had  exuifiined  and  could  find  no  power 
to  enforce  the  law  :  Reid  went  and  tried  to  ex- 
nmiiie  ;  did  not  succeed  :  went  to  Xew-York  in 
April,  l*»7ti ;  the  ofiicers  tuld  him  they  were 
tuikinc  of  paying  up  depositors  ;  handed  him 
ihH  opinion  of  William  Tracy,  their  attor- 
ney ;  thnu;riit  it  was  before  the  opinion 
was  put  in  the  hands  of  tlie  Attor- 
ney-General that  the  bank  was  turned 
nv.-r  to  tlie  Ri-reiver ;  intended  leaving  the 
bank  to  the  Attorney-General,  and  not  put 
'J'racy's  cjMuiou  against  the  Attomey-Genaral's ;

no  knowlrdge  of  the  Receiver's  actions:  his  at- 
tention was  tirst  called  to  the  German  Bank, 
Morrisaiiia.  in  March,  1875;  Reid's  examina- 
tion mentioned  a  loan  by  a  former  President  on 
niilmad  bonds ;  the  President  and  coimsel 
t:f  the  bank  came  to  Albany,  and  he 
told  them  thf-y  must  make  up  the  de- 
ficipncy ;  they  seemed  very  energetic,  and 
did  no;  want  the  bank  closed ;  the  former 
Prpsi(lf-nt  deposited  good  collaterals  for  the 
p^Kir  under  tho  former  Bank  Superintendent;

Superintendent  a.«ked  to  make  the  deficiency 
pood  :  1  ien.  Sigoi  and  the  Trustees  called  after 
the  hank  had  been  put  in  the  hands  of  the  At- 
tnmey-Gonp'ral,  and  said  if  there  had  not  been 
such  a  run.  and  a  little  more  time  had  been  al- 
Imved.  the  depositors  would  all  have  been  paid ; 
a  large  proportion  of  the  depositors  had 
*-!irned  a  petition  promising  to  let  their  money 
lie  in  the  bunk,  if  it  was  not  put  in  the  hands 
r>f  ft  Receiver  :  no  facts  came  to  his  knowledge 
to  destroy  his  confidence  in  the  bank  :  in  the 
law  of  ls74,  the  Xew-York  Loan  and  Trust 
I'nm[ianyis  required  to  report;  examined  in

wriihonr  Trustees  astntlie  manner  of  cloning  up; 
MTtf-ntion  was  spocially  called  to  the  Security 
Savings  Bank  in  November  of  1875  ;  consid- 
( ruble  pscitement  prevailed  in  New-York  at  the 
tim** ;  Mr.  Reid  made  the  examination ;  had  a 
conversation  with  the  I*re8ident ;  they  had

*Xiuninarioa  wk.s  being  made  ;  thev  claimed 
■-hat  thf»y  Wf-rp  solvent  ;  3Ir.  £llis  told 
.hem  the  deficienry  must  be  made  np ; 
ie  gave  them  all  the  time  possible,  as 
■  ihey  wnre  not  doing  business  ;  the  bank  was 
j  lD»lIy  closed  by  the  officers  in  January  ;  five 
>r  six  bank«  were  closed  after  the  Third-Ave- 
aue  ;  attention  was  called  to  the  Mutual  Bene- 
Ht  Savings  Bank  three  or  four  days  before  the 
Receirer  was  appointed  ;  Mr.  Reid  made  an  ex- 
jamination.  found  a  deficiency,  and  told  them 
I  they  must  m  ako  it  up  ;  they  asked  time  to 
!hold  a  meeting  of  Trustees  ;  the  day  before  the 
I  time  expired  they  appointed  a  Receiver 
I  without  his  knowledge;  the  deficiency 
;  was  small  ;  Trustees  were  always  al- 
I  lowed  to  make  np  a  deficiency  in 
I  a**w  hanks ;  in  fact,  all  new  banks 
have  to  he  propoed  up  by  their  Trustees;  if 
I  any  of  the  I)anka  nolding  mortgages  were  put 
!  onder  the  hammer  thejr  would  be  insolvent ; 
in  time  of  great  depreciation  In  stocks  they 
I  might  be  so,  but  if  allowed  to  go  on  would  be 
>an  right ;  the  Superintendent  exercised  his 
best  discretion  in  regard  to  these  banks  ;  it  was 
Konsidered  that  the  Security  Savings  Bank  was 
good,  and  ought  to  go  on  ;  it  is  not  practicable 
with  the  force  of  tho  depauiment  to  examine 
everj'  piece  of  property  the  books  hold  ;  one 
had  3,200  different  mortgages ;  could  only  take 
the  papers  as  they  appeared  to  him ;  they  are 
reported  nt  fjco  value  ;  in  tho  present  state  of 
the  real  e^  a  >.•  market.  If  their  mortgages  were 
foreclosed  icvv  banka  could  pay  their  depositors ; 
a  run  would  forre  a  foreclosure  of  mortgages, 
a  largo  proportion  of  which  were  taken  when 
real  estate  was  in  better  condition  ;  if  let  slone

Saratoga,  Aug.  7. — To-day  was  the  second 
of  the  extra  days  given  by  the  Saratoga  Racing 
Assodstioa,  and  it  passed  off  with  moderate 
success.  A  heavy  storm  last  night  cleared  the  at- 
mo^here  and  made  the  drive  to  the  ooarsa  a  pleas- 
ure. Thft  traok  was  in  good  condition,  and  the 
four  events  were  run  off  half  an  hour  earlier 
than  those  of  yesterday.  Only  one  of  the 
favorites  was  successful,  and  the  backers  of  the 
fiivorltea  received  a  succession  t>i  blows  that  must 
have  staggered  them.  The  great  surprise  of  the  day 
was  undoubtedly  in  the  first  race,  which  was  won  by 
I#ady  Salyers,  and  MeDanlel  got  a  race  at  last.  It 
was  a  popular  victory,  as  the  Colonel  had  the  sym- 
pathy of  the  public  by  his  misfortunes.  Tom  Ochil- 
tree easily  disposed  of  hU  competitors  in 
the  two  miles,  and  Clenunie  G.  captured 
the  mile  and  a  quarter.  The  three-quarter  dash, 
■w  hich  brought  the  entertainment  to  a  close,  was  very 
unsatisfactory  to  all  concerned,  by  tho  outrageous 
omdnet  of  Grecian  Maid,  who  delayed  the  start  for 

0  cer  20  minutes,  and  was  finally  left  at  the  post. 

1  he  mutual  pools  paid  well  on  each  of  the  events, 
the  first  race  bringing  $23  70,  the  second  $8  90,  the 
third$54,  andthef<»arth$20.  The  details  of  the 
sport  are  appended : 

THE  MILS  DASH. 
The  first  event  was  a  dssh  of  one  mile,  with  an  al- 
lowance of  five  pounds  to  maidens,  which  brought 
out  three  competitors  in  McDoniers  Lady  Salyers, 
Medlnger's  Wash  Booth,  and  William  Mulkey's 
GQiiquita.  Although  the  latter  had  not  been  doing 
well,  and  was  carrying  her  full  weight,  she  ontclassed 
the  others  In  speed  by  previous  performances,  and 
she  was  a  firm  favorite  at  $275,  Wash  Booth  bring- 
ing $145,  and  Lady  Salyers  $140.  They  were  some- 
what fractious  and  delayed  the  start  some  time,  hnt 
finally  they  were  sent  on  their  journey  close  to- 
gether, with  Chiqmta  slightly  lea^ng.  Going  around 
tae  turn,  Chiqulta  pushed  out  three-quarters  of  a 
length  in  advance  of  Wash  Booth,  who  was  a  length 
iA  advance  of  Lady  Salyers.  When  they  reached  the 
quarter  pole  Wash  E-wth  had  moved  up  to  the  sad- 
dle girth  of  Chiqnita,  while  Barrett  had  Lady  Salyers 
well  in  band  and  was  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  When 
they  ran  down  the  baclc  stretch  Wash  Booth  forced 
the  running  and  he  moved  up  to  the  shoulder  of  Chi. 
quits,  while  Lady  Salyers  had  dropped  back  to  three 
Icjngths.  At  the  half-mile  pole  Chiqulta  was  leading 
■yfash  Booth  by  a  neck,  and  Lady  Salyers 
improved  her  position  by  a  lenzth.  -When  they 
came  round  the  lower  turn-  Wash  Booth  had  pushed 
out  In  front  by  half  a  length,  by  which  distance  he 
led  into  the  home  stretch,  while  Lady  Salyers  came 
up  fast,  and  was  at  Chiqnita's  heels.  At  the  furlong 
pole  Chiqulta  gave  it  up.  and  Wash  Booth  was  now 
in  the  van,  but  only  for  a  moment,  for  as  soon  as 
Barrett  gave  the  signal.  Lady  Salyers  ahot  to  the 
front  amid  the  most  entliosiastlc  cneexs.  and  won 
the  first  race  for  McDaniel  by  two  lengrths,  in 
1(45^  ;  Booth  second,  about  ten  lengths  in  front  of 
Chiqulta.  When  Lady  Salyers  returned  to  the 
Weighing  stand,  she  and  young  Barrett  received  oulte 
ah  ovation,  showing  the  victory  to  have  been  a  very 
popular  one.  for  SicDaniel  has  hftd  very  bad  luck, 
this  bcine  only  the  second  victorj'  he  has  obtained 
this  season. 

THK  TWO  MILES. 
The  card  fumialied  for  the  second  event  a  dash  of 
two  mile.s,  a  free  handic:ip  for  all  ages,  which  had 
eight  nominations.  whUe  but  five  of  them  faced  the 
starter.  D'Artngnan,  Tom  Ochiltree,  Galway,  Oriole, 
and  Cloverbrook.  Of  course  this  was  looked 
upon  as  tho  most  interestinz  event  of  the  d.iy. 
and  manv  expected  to  see  Big  Tom  Wnten,  In  the 
pools  Ochiltree  sold  for  55(K>.  Oriole  $205.  D'Artag- 
nan  $170.  and  the  field  $1«0.  Jacob  Pincus  offi- 
ciated fts  starter,  and  a  raess  ho  mado  of  it.  The  start 
was  a  xtmcglinff  one.  T<tm  Ochiltree  getting  off  in  the 
l^ad,  Cloverbrook  second.  D'Artairnan  third,  fh-iolft 
fourth,  and  lialway  fifth.  The  latter  had  not  turned 
■^heu  the  flog  fell,  bnt  fortunately  they  moved  off  at 
a  alow  pace,  and  the  rear  ones  wore  not  left  far  be- 
hind. Ck>ing  round  the  turn  Tom  Ochiltree  was  a 
length  in  front  of  Cloverbrook.  hut  under  a 
s^ng  pull,  and  when  they  reached  the  quarter 
poI*».  Clorerbrook^a'as  working  to  the  front  to  make 
the  pace.  He  led  Tom  a  neck.  whll*»  D'Artagnau 
lioved  to  Ochiltree's  aaddlogirih,  and  Oriole  and 
Qalway  brought  up  the  rear.  even.  Going  along  the 
hack  stretch  they  ran  In  pain*.  Ochiltree  and  Clover- 
brook together,  a  length  In  front  of  D'Artaguan, 
lipped  by  Oriole  and  (talwny.  Approaching  tho 
hali-miie  pole,  they  changed  their  iK>sitions  some- 
what. «nd  pa»sine  that  point  Cloverbrook  was  show- 
iBK  the  route  half  a  length  In  front  of  Tom 
QchiUree,  who  was  a  leneth  in  advance 
ojf  D'Artagnau,  the  latter  still  lapued  at  the 
saddle-girt^  by  Oriole,  with  fialwav  at  her  quar- 
t|r.  On  the  lower  torn  Cloverbrwik  started  nut  to 
tjie  front  a  clear  length  and  a  half,  but  the  pace  was 
Ti?Ty  alow,  and  at  the  finish  of  the  first  mile.  Clover- 
brook led  by  two  lengths.  Ochiltree  fetlll  holding  the' 
RK'ond  place,  under  a  strong  pul!.  two  lengths  be- 
fore D'Artagnau.  who  waa  a  length  in  Mlvance  of 
Oriole  and  Galway.  The  mile  was  run  in  1:57. 
.'ithe  horses  ran  in  the  same  order  around  the  turn., 
and  Cloverbrook  moved  somewhat  faster,  and  passed 
the  quarter  pole  two  and  a  h.-ilf  loneths  in  ad- 
vance ot  Tom.  who  WRS  stiU  taking  it  ea.sy 
a.  lenath  in  front  of  D'Artj»(rnan.  with  Oriole 
fourth  and  Galway  fifth.  Going  nlonq  the  back 
PTretch  Galway  ran  up  to  the  third  position,  and  in 
the  meantime  D'Artagnan  fi'U  back  to  the  rear 
b{>aten.  At  the  half-mile  pole  Tom  camo  up  and 
showed  his  head  in  front  of  (loverbrook.  who  was 
loadiuR  Galway  a  Ipngth.  When  they  came  round 
the  lower  turn  Bafbee  let  Ochiltree  ro.  and  he

hi>me  easily,  winnine  as  he  plewied  by  two  lengths  in

Oriole,  who  was  a  length  and  a  half  before  Galway, 
with  D'Artagnau  bringing  up  tbe  rear. 

THE  MILK  AND  A  QUARTEB. 
The  third  event  was  a  free  handicap  dash  of  a  mile 
and  a  quarter,  which,  with  five  nominations,  includ- 
iijg  Lucifer,  Clemmle  G.,  Mary.  Higglns,  and  Bertram, 
ana  here  the  knowing  ones  got  another  dose  of  it, 
and  the  Western  men  captured  the  pool-box.  In  the

$150  ;  Higgins,  $115.  and  Qemmie  <J.,  tJie  winner, 
$105.  They  were  started  from  the  three-quarter  pole, 
and  they  apparently  got  away  in  line,  but 
ijudfer  and  Clemmie  G.  immediately  took  up  the 
ri(inning.  The  latter  had  the  most  speed,  however, 
and  reached  the  stand  two  letiffths  in  advance  of 
Ljncifer.  who  was  half  a  length  before  Mary,  and  two 
before  Bertram,  with  Hlptlns  in  the  rear.  Going 
round  the  turn.  Clemmie  G.  Increased  her  lead  to

a  pull  on  Clemmte.  and  she  showe<l  but  two  lengths 
in  advance  of  Lucifer,  who  was  lapped  at 
the  airth  by  Mary,  with  Bertram  fourth, 
and  Higgins  in  the  roar.  Aa  they  went 
ajong  the  back  stretch  Sparling  allowed  Clenunie 
to  tue  a  breathing  spell,  and  she  ran  under  a  strong 
pull,  allowing  Lucifer  to  set  to  her  tail,  and  he  was 
stlD  lapped  by  Mary,  a  length  and  a  half  before  Ber- 
tram, and  two  before  Higgins.  At  the  half-mile  pole 
Clemmle  broke  away  ag^n  and  was  soon  leading  two 
l«|ngths,  while  Bertram  lisd  moved  up  to  Lucifer's 
head,  and  was  running  even  with  him  and  Mary, 
vrith  Higgins  fifth,  and  close  up.  Coming  round  the 
lower  turn  Lnclfer  pushed  out  to  the 
second  place  ag^n,  and  reached  the  tail  of 
CJemmi©  G..  who  was  again  well  in  hand. 
Mar}'  was  third,  lapping  Lticlfer.  with  Bertram  nei^ 
bht  coming  np  fast.  ^Turning  into  the  homestretch 
Clemmie  Or.  led  half  a  length,  and  Lucifer,  Bertram, 
and  Mary  seemed  to  be  -in  line.  Coining  up  the 
stretch  Bertram  got  even  with  Clemmie.  and  the 
phir  came  away  from  the  others,  making  a  close  and 
exciting  contest.  Slary  then  came  np  and  there  was 
a  close"  struggle  between  the  three,  but   Clemmie 

gassed  the  goal  a  neck  in  front  of  Bertram,  who  was 
alf  a  lengUi  in  advance  of  Slary,  Lucifer  fonrth,  a 
length  behind,  followed  by  Higgins.    Time— 2:14i2. 

THE    SELt^INO  BACE.       " 

The  concluding  event  was  a  selling  race  of  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile,  which  had  seven  entries,  five  of 
whom  faced  the  music— Diamond,  Baroness,  Dsnde- 
lion,  Grecian  ilaid,  and  Auburn.  lu  the  pools  Dia- 
mond sold  for  $350,  Grecian  Maid  $165,  Baroness 
$150.  Auburn  $125,  and  Dandelion  $40.  They  were 
mtistered  in  the  sectional  track,  and  a  long  delay  oc- 
curred in  getting  them  off,  owing  to  the  ugly  temper 
displayed  by  Grecian  Haid.  She  absolutely  re- 
fused to  go  the  right  way.  and  at- 
tempted to  throw  her  rider  several  times.  She  -wttd 
whipped  without  avail  and  as  a  last  resort  her 
trainer  brought  the  blinders  ;  but  she  was  as  had  as 
before,  until  tho  spectators  became  impatient,  and 
gave  vent  to  their  feelings  by  continued  stamping. 
Finally  Jeter  Walden  dropped  his  fiag  to  a  straggling 
start,  and  Grecian  Maid  wheeled  round  again  an3 
was  left  at  the  post.  Baroness  and  Auburn  got  away 
together  four  lengths  in  front  of  the  other  two. 
They  struggled  for  the  track  as  they  went  down 
the  shnte.  and  on  turning  into  the  regular  track  at 
the  half-mile  pole  were  still  together.  Thus  they 
ran  round  the  lower  turn,  yoked,  while,  three  lengths 
behind  them,  were  Dandelion  and  Diamond,  also 
running  as  a  team.  Once  iuto  the  home  stretch  Au- 
burn had  the  crowd  beaten,  snd  won  as  he  pleased  by 
three  lengths  in  l:18i4  i  Diamond  was  second,  five 
lengths  ahead  of  Baroness,  who  was  half  &  length 
before  Dandelion.  The  winner  was  not  sold,  there 
being  no  bid  over  the  price  for  which  he  was  entered. 

I  '    AKOTHER  BXTRA  DAY. 

I  There  has  been  such  a  strong  pressure  brought  to 
blear  on  the  assotuation  to  keep  up  tbe  running  with- 
out Intermi^on  that  the  Board  of  Directors,  at  11 
ol'dock  last  night,  resolved  to  have  another  ex-

the  nice  little  plans  of  tho  turf  reporters  were  nipped 
in  the  bud.  One  of  them  had  made  arrangements  to

THE  PENNSYLVANIA   COAL  TRADE. 


AN  IMPEOVED  OUTLOOK  —  THE  PEESENT 
PEICES  LTKELT  TO  BE  iKCEEASED  — 
AMOUNT  OF  COAL    SHIPPED. 

The  Phihidelphia  Ledger  of  the  6th  inst.  says : 
"  The  Anthracite  coal  trade  has  a  more  prosperous 
outloolc,  enforced  by  circumstances  over  which  the 
several! companies  engaged  in  the  production  and 
marketing  of  coal  have  bad  little,  if  any,  control.  At 
the  beginning  of  tbe  coal  season  persistent  efforts 
were  made  to  hit  upon  some  line  of  policy  by  which 
the  production  of  coal  should  be  brought  within  the 
marketjahle  demand.  "What  the  chief  companies  failed 
to  effect  in  this  regard  has  l>een  pretty  effec- 
tually accomplished  by  lawless  violence,  prohibiting 
both  fjroduction  nnd  'transportation.  The  miners 
for  about  10  days  have  stopped  production  in  five  of 
the  mining  regions,  leaving  the  only  source  of  coal 
supplylfor  that  time  to  the  Reading  Coal  and  Iron 
Comp'anv's  mines  in  the  Schuylkill  region,  the  most 
of  thelminesof  the  individual  miners  there  having 
stoppcjl.  The  shipments  of  coal  over  the  Reading 
Railroad  to  Port  Richmond  for  the  weelc  ending  on 
Saturday  evening,  the  4th  inst..  wore  66,000  tons. 
and  the  shipments  from  Port  Richmond  for 
the  s^me  time  were  77,000  tons,  showing  a 
reduction  of  stock  on  hand  of  11,000  tons. 
The  cflal  tonnage  of  tho  road  for  the  week  was 
115,000  tons,  and  for  tlic  month  of  July,  592.178 
tons.  The  averaire  tonnage  for  the  month 
of  July  for  the  past  eIx  years  was  565,103,  or  27.- 
075  tops  lens  than  for  the  month  of  July  last  past. 
The  output  of  coal  hy  the  Heading  Coal  and  Iron 
Company  for  the  month  of  July  was  372,000  tons. 
On  Thjursday  of  last  week,  the  2d  inst..  that  com- 
pany mined  and  sent  to  market  17.630  tons,  the 
largerti  product  in  any  one  day  In  the  history  of  the 
company.  On  Friday  and  Saturday  last  shipments  of 
coal  w^re  resumed  over  the  Lehigh  Valley  Railroad 
from  the  Mahanoy  region.  That  region,  hdwever, 
does  not  supply  more  than  a  fiftli  or  sixth  of  the  daily 
tonnage  of  the  Lehigh  Valley  Railroad.  It  is  now  an- 
ticipated that  during  the  current  week  the  other  lo- 
ealitieji  finding  market  for  their  coal  over  the  Lehigh 
Valley  Railroad  will  be  in  operation,  but  it  is  not  be- 
lieved that  the  advance  in  prices  will  he  lost,  even 
when  all  the  coal  regions  are  in  operation.  The 
chcfk  in  production  that  put  prices  up  will,  in  con- 
nection with  the  fact  that  the  poal  season  la  nar- 
rowing to  12  or  13  week's,  so  stimulate  the  trade 
aa  to  keep  them  up  to  at  least  a  pay- 
ing point.  Tlie  Lehigh  Valley  Railroad  dur- 
ing  the  weeks  ending  on  the  2>!th  ultimo  and  the 
4th  inst.  reduced  its  stock  of  coal  at  .\mboy  about 
5, (MX)  tons  per  d.iy.  and  last  Saturday  evening  was 
supiiosml  to  have  had  in  stock  on  hand  thorw  about 
7.5,000  tons.  The  price  has  been  advaneed  40  to 
50  cents  per  ton.  and  there  in  generally  a  good  de- 
niandfor  coal.  The  Lehigh  foal  and  Navigation  Com- 
pany, or.  more  properly,  the  Central  kailroad  of 
JCew-Jeryey.  h»«  of  coal  on  hand  about  lOO.OOO  tons, 
a  very  small  stork  compared  with  the  tonnage  capa- 
city of  the  company,  and  which  capacity  it  is 
expected  will  be  soon  called  Into  roqiiisition. 
An  an  evidenee  of  the  improved  financial 
situation  of  the  Lehigh  Navigation  Com- 
pany, we  learn  that  its  paymaster  returned  to  the 
city  here  on  Friday  evening  last,  having  romplet«d  a 
tour  of  several  days,  employed  in  liquidating  balan- 
ces of  wages  all  along  the  line.  We  continue  onr 
caution  to  consumers  of  coal.  "  lay  in  your  Winter's 
snpplv  now.'  The  advance  in  nrices  in  consequence 
of  tlie  obstructions  to  trade  wittiin  the  last  fortnight 
are  not  so  great  as  tbe  situntion  really  warrants. 
Some  of  the  operators  are  restrained  a  little  in  this  re- 
gard by  apprelieuMcn  that  if  the  prices  of  coal  are 
advanced  materially  it  may  provoke  a  corresponding 
advance  in  miners'  wages!  and  should  they  go  up  now 
it  would  be  difficult  to  get  them  back  to  what  they 
now  ore,  should  coal  decline  ever  so  much.  The  con- 
sumer who  defers  lajing  in  his  coal  for  such  reason 
we  can  but  think  most  unwise.  The  basis  for  wages 
will  control  them,  and  the  necessity  of  demanding 
^Miying  priroK  for  coal  la  not  likely  to  let  them  fall  off 
lor  the  remainder  of  the  year. 

Tho  railway  strike-*,  which  caused  obstructions 
on  nearly  all  the  coal  railways,  are  lla^ing  their 
effect  reflected  in  the  tabulated  reports.  Compared 
with  the  previous  week  every  coal  corporation,  ex- 
cepting tbe  Schuvlkill  Navigation  Company,  ejiows  a 
decrease.  The  treading  Railroad  falh*  off  34,102

'mentaj  and  i  m  we  have  received  no  report 
from  lit  wo  cannot  give  any  statement  of  its 
traillc  for  the  week.  During  the  previous 
week  I  its  shipments  were  71,141  tons.  The 
Schuylkill  Canal.  which  was  uninfluenced 
by  strikes,  gained  4.341  tons.  For  the  weekending

I>ackajv^iuma  and  Western,  tho  Delaware  and  Hud- 
son, and  the  INew-Jersey  Central  Companies  were 
almost  entirely  stopped.  These  are  five  of  the  six 
corporations  that  mmlo  up  the  former  coal  combina- 
tion. This  ahrinknge  in  coal  production  comes  at  al- 
most the  same  thne  this  year  aa  the  enlargement  of 
production  dfid  bust  year,  after  the  Midsummer 
troubles  were  over  in  the  raining  regions.  For  the 
week  ending  on  the  118th  ult..  the  total  tonnage,  as 
reported  by  the  several  carrying  companies,  amounted 
to  *.;61.320  ton^  against  417,6<j7  tons  in  cor- 
responding w(M)k  last  year,  a  decrease  of  156,- 
'2S7  tons.  The  total  amount  of  anthracite 
rained  for  the  year  is  H,30S.552  tons,  agahist 
8,943,iROO  for  tho  sameperiod  lart  ye.ir,  an  increase 
of  i;,454.75*2  tons.  The  quantity  of  bituminous 
coal  sent  to  market  for  the  week"cannot  be  stated, 
the  strikers  interfering  with  reports  from  the  (him- 
berland  region.  The  total  tonnage  of  all  kinds  of 
coal  for  the  cloal  year  we  make  up  by  adding  the 
anthrajcitft  tonnage  for  the  week  ending  'i^'th  ult., 
while  estimating  the  bituminous  tonnage  as  it  was  at 
the  clo«e  of  the  previous  week.  The  total  tonnage  for 
the  coal  year  i|»  l3.076,569tons.  against  10,927. 06i2 
tons  t^same  date  last  year,  an  increase  of  *J.  149,507 
tons.  The  receipts  at  Perth  Araboy  for  the  week  ending 
on  thelSfltb  ult.  were  17.058  ton^  the  shipments 
31,R3ltons,  leaving  a  stock  on  hand  of  114,649 
tons.  fThe  quantity  of  coal  and  coke  carried  over  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  for  the  fourth  week  in  July 
was  19.071  tons,  of  which  16,117  tons  were  coal 
and  3,^"j4  tons  coke.  The  total  carried  for  the  year 
Is  2,760.«^0itons.  of  which  2.104.9.39  tons  were

ENFORCE  GTHE  UQUORUW 

CROWDS   STILL  SEEKING   LICENSES, 

ORKAT  GRUUBLXKa  AT  THE  BUKGLIKO  OF  THE 
ISXCISE  COMJUSSIONERS— THE  LATTER 
COMPLAIN  OF  THE  CONDUCT  OP  THE 
POLICE  IN  NOT  REOOGNIZINa  RECEIPTS 
ISSUED  BT  THE  DEPABTIIENT — ^LIQUOR- 
DEALERS  IN  COURT — ^FURTHER  ARRESTS. 
The  war  on  the  liqnor^dcalera  still  continues, 
thou^  If  prewnt  indications  are  to  be  trusted.  Its 
force  is  about  spent.  From  early  nu>rning  yesterday 
until  6  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  the  office  of  the  Ex- 
cise Commissioners,  in  Houston-street,  was  crowded 
with  the  same  class  of  liquor-dealers,  bondsmen, 
and  politicians  who  have  congregated  there 
for  ihe  past  week.  It  was  a  sultry  day. 
and  the  clerks,  stripped  to  their  shirt-sleeves,  worked 
as  they  feave  rarely  worked  before.  For  onoe  the  City 
got  the  worth  of  Its  money  out  of  its  employes.  At 
the  cashier's  table  huge  piles  of  notes  and  coin,  ag- 
gr^ating  thousands  of  dollars,  lay  temptingly  ex- 
posed to  view  behind  the  thin  net-work  of  wire  which 
kept  off  the  surging  crowd  outside.  It  would  hare 
be«n  a  harvest  for  pickpockets,  for  every  man  had  big 
rolls  of  billi  in  bis  iK>cket,  and  many  of  them  occu- 
pied the  time,  while  awaiting  their  turn,  in  counting 
out  and  arran^ng  the  snm,  required.  'Wblle  they 
widted,  they  taU:ed  about  the  lookout,  and  condoled 
with  each  otn^on  the  "hardtimeB"  on  which  the 
trade  haa  fallenX  Several  in  the  crowd  had  been 
locked  up  the  nigfaVbefore,  although  they  had  already 
procured  receipts,  and  these  were  loud  in  their 
denunciations  of  the  shuffling  policy  of  the  Police 
and  Excise  Boards.  Sonie\declared  the  Republicans 
at  Albany  to  be  the  cause  of  the  trouble,  while  others 
laid  the  blame  at  the  door  ofxJohn  Kelly  and  Tam- 
nuiny  Hall.  The  Germans  were\especially  loud  In 
their  abuse  of  the  latter,  and  manXof  them  swore 
they  would  never  vote  *he  Tanunanyticket  again. 
The  great  and  oversbfcdowing  grieVuice,  how- 
ever, was  the  disregard  which  the  Police 
paid  to  the  receipts  of  the'  Excise  ^-Board, 
There  are  about  2,300  of  these  pieces  of  paper  aSoat, 
each  of  which  has  cost  its  owner  $75,  and  alrof 
which  the  Police  treat  as  so  much  waste  paper. .  The\ 
majority  of  the  dealers  cannot  undentand  why,  after 
they  have  filed  their  bonds  and  paid  for  a  license, 
they  should  be  locked  up  in  a. sweltering  Police 
cell  over  night  becsnse  the  Excise  Board  is  unable  or 
unwilling  to  either  grant  or  withhold  their  licenses. 
The  applications  filed  yesterday  numbered  366, 
three  more  than  on  the  day  before,  and  the  amount 
paid  in  was  $18,510. 

A  TniES  reporter,  who  called  during  the  after- 
noon, found  Commissioner-  Morton  fairly  exhausted 
by  tbe  labors  of  the  day.  In  reply  to  a  question  as 
to  bow  many  licenses  had  been  granted  aince 
last  week,  he  opened  a  drawer  and  exhibited 
a  packet  of  20  which  had  been'^piftsed  at  Monday's 
meeting.  Every  one  of  them  was  to  a  bona  fide  hotel, 
drug  store,  or  wholesale  dealer.  **  How  about  this 
perspiring  crowd  outside  V  asked  the  reporter,  "  are 
you  licensing  any  of  them  ?  "  The  Commissioner 
said  :  "  We  have  not  got  to  them  yet,  but  we  hope 
to  before  long.  You  see,  it  takes  a  great  deal  of  time 
to  make  the  nscessary  inquiriec.  When  a  first-class 
hotel  or  drug  store  comes  to  us  for  a  license  we  grant 
it  at  once,  although  even  in  those  cases  a  formal  ex- 
amination and  report  Is  made  by  the  inspector.  But 
with  the  mass  of  these  men  something  more  than  a 
mere  formal  examination  is  necessary,  if  we  would 
comply  with  the  law.  We  must  ascertain  whether 
they  are  reputable,  whether  they  have  complied 
strictly  with  the  requirements  of  the  statute, 
whether  their  sureties  are  good,  &c.  We  can't  do  all 
this  in  a  day,  and  so  we  have  made  it  a 
rule  that  the  dealers  should  in  all 
cases  accompany  applications  with  tlie  payment  of  the 
license  fee  to  show  that  they  are  acting  in  good  faith. 
If  the  Police  refuse  to  req>ect  our  receipts  It  is  not 
our  fault," 

**^Vhat  do  you  think,"  asked  the  reporter,  "about 
the  Police  arresting  men  who  have  paid  their  license 
money  and  compbed  with  the  law  /"  '*  I  consider 
it,"  said  Mr.  Morton.  "  both  impolitic  and  unjusti- 
fiable, and  I  cannot  see  how  any  candid  man  can  view 
it  otherwise.  I  cannot  now  poi^t  you  to  the 
decision,  but  I  know  that  one  is  on  record, 
and  which  the  Supreme  Court  of  this  "State  haa  dis- 
tinctly laid  down,  tliat  where  a  liquor  dealer's  license 
expires  before  he  has  had  an  opportunity  to  apply  for 
another  at  a  resmlar  meetinc  of  the  local  boaxd,  be 
can  continue  selling  witliout  being  liable  to  arrest.  In 
the  present  case,  these  Kew-York  dealers  have  antici- 
pate the  law  by  paying  their  fees  and  filing  their  ap- 
plications before  we  have  been  able  to  pass  upon 
them.  It  seems  to  me  that  under  such  circumstances 
common  equity  prpscribca  that  these  men  should  be 
allowed  some  indulgence  at  least,  until  we  have  had 
an  opportunity  to  adjudicate  upon  their  demands." 

In  regard  to  the  alleged  intention  of  the  board  to 
"freeze  out  the  poorer  class  of  dealers,"  Mr.  Martin 
said  that  they  had  no  intention  to  freeze  out  any 
class — they  simply  proposed  to  carry  out  the  law  in 
good  fflith  and  with  due  legurd  to  tho  posi- 
tion and  requirements  of  the  City  as  a 
great  Metropolis.  AU  sorts  of  rumors 
were  in  circulation  as  to  their  intentions, 
one  party  claiming  tlxat  they  were  discriminating 
against  Anti-Tammany  and  the  friends  of  Morriasey  ; 
another,  that  they  were  doing  John  Kelley's  bidding, 
and  others  that  they  had  still  deeper  and  more 
corrupt  objects  in  view.  For  themselves,  the 
commissioners  could  afford  to  laugh  at  this 
sort  of  thing,  but  it  was  really  a  gross 
mistake  on  the  part  of  the  public  to 
suppose  that  there  was  so  much  plotting 
and  underndning  about  a  plain  matter  of  fact. 
'■  We  are  not  Napoleons  of  politics."  added  the 
Commissioner,  Rmlltng,  "  and  we  have  none  of  the 
de^p-laid  schemes  that  people  are  crediting  us  with. 
We  are  simply  trj-ing  to  administer  the  law  so  as  to 
protect  the  rtehts  of  all  classes,  without  inflicting 
unnecessary  hsrdsliip.s  up*tn  reputable  dealers. 
If  the  Board  of  Police  fail  to  co-operate  with 
us,  and  continue  to  worry  and  annoy  men 
who  have  done  everythino'  in  their  power  to  comply 
with  the  law,  the  resiHinslbility  must  rest  with  them, 
not  with  us."  Commissioners  Murphyand  Patter- 
son coincided  w^th  the  views  of  Mr.  Idorton,  and 
hare  personally  used  their  influence  with  the  Police 
authorities  to  protect  respectable  dealers  who  hold 
receipts  from  the  board.  No  licenses  were  granted 
at  yesterday's  meeting,  however,  and  it  is  still  uncer- 
t«in  when  the  Commissioners  will  clear  up  the  pres- 
ent difficulty  by  coming  to  a  final  decision  on  tbe  ap- 
plications before  them.  August  22  has  been  fixed  as 
the  date  of  hearing  testimony  in  the  complaint  filed 
against  John  P.  Windolph,  of  No.  340  Eighth- 
avenue. 

A  meeting  of  German  saloon-keepera  was  held  at 
Ko.  369  :^wery  yesterday  to  take  steps  for  their 
mutual  protection.  Henry  Haas  called  the  meeting 
to  order,  and  a  Mr.  Beerman.  was  elected 
Chairman,  Mr.  Blase  acted  aa  Secretary.  The 
Chairman  explained  the  object  of  the  meeting,  and 
advocated  the  appointment  of  a  committee  of  twelve 
to  wait  on  the  Mayor  and  request  that  he  use 
his  influence  with  the  Board  of  Police 
to  prevent  the  present  tyrannical  and 
•unconstitutional  interfcrenec  with  the  rights  of  law- 
abiding  citirens-  Ak  rltizens  and  tax -payers  they  had 
a  right  to  demand  that  they  be  protected  while  hold- 
ing the  official  receipts  of  the  Excise  Board 
for  the  payment  of  their  Ucense  fee. 
In  case  the  Mayor  refuses  to  move 
in  the  matter,  they  should  fight  it.  out 
in  the  courts.  Mr.  Haas  thought  that  the  ilayor 
should  be  asked  whether  the  arrests  could  not*  be 
effected  in  a  less  rigorous  way  J  Also,  why  the  Po- 
lice Justices  should  not  consider  the  receipts  of 
the  Excise  Board  binding  until  the  latter 
came  to  some  decision  f  Aft-er  a  spirited  de- 
hate,  the  resolution  appointing  a  committee 
of  twelve  to  wait  on  hia  Honor  was  carried.  Steps 
were  also  taken  to  call  a  maKs-meeting  of  the  trade 
during  the  coming  week.  Major  George  W.  Sauer 
and  other  prominent  Qermans  are  hjtrd  at  work 
arous&g  public  sentiment  on  the  question,  and  claim 
that  they  wHI  be  able  to  effect  a  settlement  of  the  mat- 
ter within  a  short  time.  Mr.  Henry  Conninghsm, 
President  of  the  Liquor-Dealers'  Protective  Union. 
which  numbers  2.00O  members,  is  out  of  town,  and 
no  official  action  has  as  yet  been  taken  by  that  organ- 
ization. Yesterday  tho  bar  of  one  of  its  officers  on 
First-avenue  wa«  nuug  with  crape,  as  a  fittiug  me- 
mento of  the  present  and  past  "  raids  "  from  which 
the  organization  has  suffered.

Some  years  ago  a  poptdar  writer,  whose  wor^ 
were  law  in  the  world  of  teshlon  and  TeflnsBuo^, 
remarked  that  %  parrenu  eonld  be  detected  by  bac 
attention  to  her  oostome  In  pablio ;  thai  a  lady 
wore  whtttever  dress  was  spproprlAte  to  her  ttstioii 
OTOceaslDn  with  the  careless  graoe  with  wliieli  a  biid 
wears  his  phunage,  while  the  other  evinced  a  eon- 
sdonsnesa  of  fine  clothes  by  little  adjttstments  and 
arrangements  of  gloves,  jewelry,  or  drapery,  betray- 
ing that  these  were  not  qull<e  comfortable,  or  tha* 
the  owner  either  desired  to  have  them  noticed  or 
felt  doubtful  regarding  their  safe  proserratlon. 
Bow  wonld  this  nice  edtio  regard  the  preTailing 
mode  of  wearing  dresses  of  inordinate  length,  and 
carrying  their  superfluous  folds  in  one  hand^* 
wearily,  In  the  street  or  road  I  What  sense  of  beaoty,  • 
eonvenlenee,  or  grace  is  satisfied  I  The  drapisjc, 
and  trimming  of  the  sMrt  on  whiob  so  much  care  ii 
bestowed,  \fi,  entirely  disarranged  from  the  origlnv 
design  hy  being  drawn  aslant  and  elevated;  a  frM 
and  graceful  motion  of  feet  and  hands  is  restrained 
by  the  harden  of  tho  heavy  train,  dragged  t(^ether 
aud  borne  constantly.  The  outline  of  a  dress  madi 
in  tho  extreme  of  the  mermaid  style,  fastened  elosel) 
to  the  knees  and  then  switching  into  an  unmeanini 
trail.  Is  suiBciently  Inelegant ;  imt  when  this  oompac? 
fit  is  increased  by  binding  the  garment  tightly  round 
the  anldes  it  is  positively  ridiculons,  as  well  as.vnlgan 
The  marvel  is  how  any  woman  who  sees  this  awkf 
wardness  in  another  woman  can  conform  to  it  hen 
self.  Time  was  when  the  feet  and  underskirts  of  a 
lady  were  invisible  realities;  now  they  are  the  mosf 
conspicuous  objects,  though  not  the  most  beaotifuL 
Despite  fancy  stockings  and  Louis  XV.  zosettea, 
few  ladies'  feet  look  well  in  motion.  Thankl 
to  French  heels,  few  women  move  with 
elastic  and  even  step,  neither  too  lone  nor  short;  they 
scramble  and  waddle  over  the  grotmd  as  best  they 
can  on  tbe  absurdly  curved  soles,  ao  entirely  nnlilM 
the  natural  form  of  tho  foot  as  to  destroy  the  power 
of  the  mnsclos,  with  a  weight  of  draperv  fetterintf 
their  limbs.  I  sat  and  noticed  a  &le  of  women  claa 
in  expensive  materials  coming  along  the  atreet  ona 
day,  and  thought  that  the  contour  of  each,  as  well  atf 
facr  motion,  w^as  almost  identical  with  that  of  scnnai 
rustics  whom  I  once  saw  endeavorinK  to  run  In  sacka^. 
The  unfortunate  inai»pTOpTiatenees  with  wliicli 
Americans  are  somet^es  reproached  i<t  manifeut^nl 
in  the  adoption  by  oii^women  of  trained  skirts  foe 
all  times  and  places,  and  made  of  all  materials. 
For  occasions  of  state  and  space  a  flowing  traiq 
may  be  elec&nit  and  add  importance  to  tba 
wearer  at  a  bridal  or  drawing-n>om  ;  but  a  tnda 
proper  exacts  a- train-bearer,  which  modem  nsage 
has  not  yet  adopted,  and  space  for  the  dL-qHay  oj 
the  elegant  folds,  which*'  our  crowded  recenti'ona 
do  not  uford.  Many  a  m^  who  stumb1e<<  ana  trips 
over  the  impediments  offered  by  a  flue  lady's  costume 
would  be  thankful  if  Rho  had  any  other  way  of  an> 
nouncing  the  aggrandizing  (act  that  beiiidoit  owning 
so  expensive  a  dress,  the  wearer  could  afford  many 
extra  yards  of  elegant  goods  to  sweep  the  carpets 
and  gather  dupt  beneath  the  feet  of  the  crowd. 
If  a  house  train  is  useless  and  of  questionable  beauty, 
what  is  a  street  train,  which  cannot  be  worn  eu! 
train  I  How  would  a  man  appear  who  earrlect 
his  trowsers  at  each  knee  7  or  gave  a  hitch  occasion* 
ally,  d  la  vntielott  it  would  be  votwi  ver>-  bad  style.) 
In  this  City  the  prevalence  of  these  dreasps,  uncom- 
fortably carried  through  the  streets,  cava  tbe  writep 
the  impression  that  hard  times  hsid  reduced  every 
woman  to  one  gown,  f«T  festivities  at  home  and  dis- 
play abroad ;  but  during  the  Summer,  in  country  soi

the  knees  in  the  same  unirainly  fashion ;  and  it  1« 
noticeable  even  in  the  house  or  on  the  piazzas  that 
this  habit  has  influenced  the  carriage  of  the  nnfor* 
tunate  bondwomen,  who  have  acquired  a  shufSo  a<

LIQUOR,  LICENSING  IN  JERSEY  CITY, 

OKE  HUKDEED  AKD  EIGHTY  LICEK'SKS  TE- 
TOED  BT  IMATOR  SXEDLEE — CHANGES 
RBCOMMKKDED  IK  THE  OBDIKAKCK  EEGU- 
LATIKQ  THE  SALE  OP  IKTOXICATIKG. 
LIQUORS. 

At  its  meeting  on  the  17th  of  July,  the  Jersey 
City  Board  of  Aldermen  passed  resolutions  to  grant 
licenses  to  about  600  persons  for  the  sale  of  intoxi- 
cating liquors  to  be  drunk  on  the  premises.  Last 
evening  the  board  received  from  Mayor  Siedler 
a  message  vetoing  180  of  the  proposed 
grants.  The .  Mayor  says  he  has  not  vetoed 
all  to  which  valid  objections  might  be  raised,  but  has 
passed  some  in  the  hope  that  in  the  future  the 
saloons  will  be  kept  in  a  more  orderly  way.  In  mak- 
ing his  discriminations,  he  has  endeavored  to  secure 
the  welfare  of  the  working  men.  He  urges  the  board 
to  take  Into  consideration  the  ordinances  regulating 
the  sale  of  intoxicating  liquors,  and  suggests  a 
number  of  changes  which  he  believes  would  better 
subserve  the  pnbUo  welfare.  He  recommends  that 
three  classes  of  licenses  be  provided,  instead 
of  two  as  at  present— the  new  grade  to  be  for  the  sale 
of  ale  and  beer  only,  by  persons  who  do  not  keep 
hotels  or  restaurants.  He  would  have  a  license  re- 
voked whenever  the  holder  sells  to  habitual  <feunk- 
ards.  minors,  imbeoiles,  or  paupers,  keeps  a  disorder- 
ly house,  knowinely  harbors  criminal  or  vicious 
persons,   permits  ' *-" —    "  -'-'-'--  *^-  '^^--- 


law   prohibiting     the 


or  violates  the  State 
of   liquor    on     Bun- 


days,  and  would  deny  for  three  years  a  new 
license  t^  any  person  whose  licensomay  be  revoked. 
He  would  increase  the  number  of  freeholders  re- 
quisite upon  a  recommendation  for  license,  require 
that  ell  persons  signing  should  reside  in  the  imme- 
diate vidnitT  of  the  place  proposed  to  be  licensed, 
allow  no  person  to  sign  more  than  one  recommenda- 
tion, and  requiiy  all  applications  to  be  presented  at 
least  two  montlis  before  being  acted  upon.  Whenever 
10  freeholders  residing  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of 
an  applicant  for  license  protest  against  its  being 
eranted,  he  would  refuse.  He  believes  that  the 
law  should  deny  licenses  to  women  and  to  gro- 
cery stores,  and  advises  that  saloons  be  kept  closed 
between  the  hours  of  midnight  and  5  A.  M..  and  that 
the  City  provide  a  penalty  for  the  sale  of  adtilterated 
^quors,  in  accordance  with  the  State  law.  He  sug- 
gests that  licenses  should  not,  as  at  present,  expire 
simultaneously. 

Ha^-ing  concluded  his  suggestions  relating  to  the 
ordinances,  the  Mayor  proceeds  to  i;ivo  separately 
his  reasons  for  objecting  to  each  of  the  1 80  persons. 
The  reasons  are  varied,  and  some  of  them  suigestive. 
For  instance,  he  objects  to  Helena  Roehri<i,  whose 
place  is  on  Paterson  Plank-road,  near  Central- 
avenue,  because  "she  keeps  a  beer  and 
drinking  saloon  said  to  be  patronized  by  the 
pnbUe  offldala  of  Jersey  Citv  very  extensivelv, 
and  maintained  as  a  house  of  very  questionable 
cliaracter  ;"  to  John  Harper,  (a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Freeholders.)  because  ne  keepa  a  '*  bucket  shop  ;" 
to  Thomas  J.  Hannon.  (member  of  the  Legislature 
from  tho  Second  District. )  because  his  application  is 
defective,  and  to  Patrick  Nolan,  because  the  place  is 
reported  to  be  owned  by  Alexander  McCoy,  •'  a 
Justice  of  the  Peace,  whose  court  is  held  np  stairs, 
where  justice  Is  dispensed  with." 

The  message  was  received  and  ordered  to  be  en- 
grossed in  fi3l  upon  the  minutes.  It  will  be  acted 
upon  at  the  next  meeting  of  the  board,  and  the 
fdends  of  good  order  have  strong  hopes  Uiat  it  wHl 
be  suBtainooL  The  board  granted  about  60  new 
lieenses  last  evening,  agiUnst  which  no  Temonstrancee 
had  been  received^

PAREKTAGE    BT  PROIH'. 
'  3b  the  Editor  of  th»  Xnc-  York  T\me»  : 

Noticing  In  The  Times  of  Stmdar  an  artlcls 
under  the  above  beading.  I  am  prompted  to  say  a  f  eif 
words  on  a  subject  with  which  I  have  been  ^»^i1itT 
for  21  years,  and  on  which  my  experience  leads  me 
to  a  very  different  conclusion  from  the  one  anivBd 
at  in  the  article  mentioned,  and  I  aak  to  have  my 
''little  say,"  because  I  fear  some  harm  nuty  oome  to 
some  poor  little  "waif  and  stray;'*  some  heart 
which  might  have  opened  to  some  little  wanderei 
might  be  closed,  and -so  shut  ont  from  it  a  gre^  deal 
of  comfort  and  snn.<;hine. 

In  opposition  tothe  two  cases  mentioned,  which  I 
own  are  sad  enough,  I  might  place  my  own  experl* 
enee,  and  I  am  sure  its  biightness  would  more  than 
balance  their  clouds.  Twenty-one  years  ago  I  adopted 
a  little  one,  having  no  knowledge  of  her  or  her  ante* 
cedents,  except  that  she  was  }>om  in  wedlock — ^hei 
father  a  Grerman  and  her  mother  a  FrencH  woman. 
Arriving  here  from  Germany  in  the  "WTnter  of  1S57, 
with  three  children,  they  found  themselves  penni- 
less, with  no  work,  and  no  prospect  before  them  bnl 
starvation.  X'nder  these  ■  circumstances  they  gav< 
np-one  of  their  little  ones  and  went  theirL'Tray  with 
the  other  two,  and  were  never  heard  of  more.  I 
have  often  thought  of  the  terrible  struggle  of  thac 
poor  mother,  and  I  only  wish  that  I  knew  where  she 
was,  that  I  might  send  her  tidings  of  the  well- 
being  of  her  child.  As  I  remember  the  lit- 
tle one,  there  was  no  striking  characterlstie 
about  her — no  beauty  to  arrraet  and  so  gracs 
to  charm.  She  was  only  an  ordinary  child,  bnt  thai 
she  tws  a  cliild  was  enough  for  me  I  I  took  her  to 
my  heart  and  home  and  bei^an  my  life-work.  Re- 
membering as  far  back  as  I  could  in  nay  own  child- 
hood, 1  tried  to  avoid  in  my  training  of  her  what  my 
own  experience  had  shown  me  had  l^n  errors  in  my 
parents'  judgment  in  their  training  of  me.  The 
struggle  was  a  hard  one  forme,  and  brought  with  ic 
oftentimes  discouragement,  thouj^h,  I  tb^nlr  I  can 
truthfully  say.  never  regret.  True,  as  you  say.  pa- 
rents often  find  it  a  grievous  task  to  rear  their  own 
children  properlv,  and|  in  tbe  case  of  an  adopted 
child  the  diJBcnlty  is  much  greater.  P«*<ruliarlties 
^nd  characteristics*  which  often  vex  and  worry  might 
be  accounted  for  by  Idiosyncrasios  of  natural  parent*, 
and  a  loving  patience  be  eierclaed  with  faults  whlah 
they  taiew  were  an  inheritance.  Still,  I  am  inclined 
to  believe  that  more  faults  are  acquired  than  inher- 
ited, and  I  do  not  believe  that  totiu  depravity  lurka 
in  any  little  soul  when  it  enters  this  world.  I  have 
Been  the  best  parents  in  the  world  have  the  worst 
children.  Sur^y,  you  will  not  say  that  they  inher- 
ited the  evil,  and  I  am  compelled  to  believe  that- 
the  training  in  tho  two  inst.inces  mentioned  had 
muoh  to  do  with  the  bad  results  which  followed-  I 
remember,  as  an  instance  of  the  devotion  of  my 
adopted  child,  that  once  while  in  a  convent,  where 
she  was  partlv  educated  tbe  Sisters  appealed  to  hec 
to  become  a  OathoUc.  Katurally  of  a  devout  nature, 
her  impulses  would  have  led  her  to  embrace  th* 
faith,  but  her  Spartan  reply  to  the  aolidtation  wa.«. 
"Sister,  you  say  all  heretics  will  go  to  hell,  and  if 
that  is  true  my  parents  will  ro  there,  and  if  they  go 
I  want  to  go  there  too."  VCould  yrru.  ask  for  ffn*at^r 
affection  than  this,  or  would  you  mid  it  in  a  child  for 
its  natural  parents  ? 

Perhaps  I  am  too  great  an  enthnidast  on  this  sub- 
ject,  ana  it  may  be  my  own  happy  experience  has  led 
me  to  be  too  sanguine  in  my  faith  in  the  prixiutiv« 
eoodness  of  humanity-  But  there  are  wretched  and 
forlorn  children  enough,  God  knows,  and  what  is  to 
become  of  them  if  we  shut  our  hearts  and  homes 
against  them. 

'  To  the  childless  I  would  say,  take  ■  to  yourself 
one  of  these  needy  ones,  as  much  for  the  good  it  wHl 
do  yon  as  for  the  sake  of  the  child.  It  i^n  make 
you  unselfish  ;  it  will  soften  and  nnrify  your  nature  ,- 
It  will  bring  yon  more  of  pleasure  than  of  pain  ii 
you  do  your  <iuty  by  it ;  and  it  will,  if  you  try  to 
do  right,  go  far  toward  securing  for  you  a  place  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  Father,  wlio  never  yet  refoaed  ta 

ti^e  to  His  bosom  the  friendless  chiJdr

I  am  only  acotistomed  to  the  writinff  of  fami-

piece  signed  Veritas  in  Tmc  TotES  of  Saturday.  The 
writer,  I  think,  does  not  know  quite  to  muoh.  aa  sihs 
thinks  she  does.  I  am  in  a  position  which  has  eaosed

Auburn,  Satorday,  Aug.  4,  1877. 

Four  murderers  are  confined  in  the  Conn- 
^  Jail,  in  this  city,  awaiting  trial  at  the  next 
tarxB  cf  court.  The  crimes  with  which  they 
»t»nd  charged  were  all  committed  within  the 
paat  six  months,  and  add  another  chapter  to  the 
ilready  dark  criminal  record  of  Cayuga  County. 
rbe  murderers  are  Lawrence  ReiUy,  aged  20  ; 
Cora  Tonng,  aged  35  ;  William  Barr,  a  prison 
eoaViot,  and  Edward  Hoppln,  aged  25,  a  young 
Buoi  of  one  of  the  leading  familiea  of  the 
ooonty.  Reilly  is  indicted  for  the  murder  of 
John  Harria,  a  carpenter.  He  shot  the 
deceased  on  the  night  of  the  23d  of  December 
last.  Beilly's  father  kept  a  saloon  In  Diviaion- 
•treet,  this  city.  On  the  night  of  the  murder 
the  elder  Reilly  got  drunk,  and  Harris  assisted 
the  son  in  taking  his  father  home.  The  two 
retomed  to  the  saloon,  when  young  Reilly 
went  in  and  locked  Harris  on  the  outside.  The 
latter  knocked  at  the  window  for  admission, 
when  Reilly  shot  him  through  the  lungs.  Harris 
died  in  a  ehort  time.  Reilly's  statement  is  that 
ECarris  broke  in  the  window,  and  was  crawling 
through  -when  the  shot  was  fired.  RetUy  was 
tried  in  May,  the  jury  failing  to  agree,  making 
A  new  trial  necessary. 

WiHiam  Barr  was  a  burglar  who  was  sentenced 
to  Sing  Sing  from  New- York  City.  He  was  sub- 
sequently transferred  to  Clinton  Prison.  There 
the  officials  said  he  was  insane,  and  he  was  sent 
to  the  prison  asylum  at  Auburn.  After  being 
■n  inmate  for  some  time.  Dr.  Wilkin  decided 
that  he  was  not  insane,  and  ordered  him 
to  Auburn  Prison,  Dr.  Hoxie,  of  that 
Institution,  returned  him  to  the  asylum . 
He  remained  there  a  month  or  so  when 
lie  was  atraiu  trsnsfeired  to  the  prison  as  sane. 
Last  February  Keeper  Harvey  Cosier  took  a 
small  force  of  convicts  out  one  day  to  clear  the 
ice  away  from  the  pavement  in'  front  of  the 
prison.  Among  them  was  Barr.  He  began  to 
Insult  ladies  pas^sin^  along  the  street,  and  the 
keeper  ordered  him  to  behave  or  go  inside. 
Barr  ateppwl  back,  and  raising  a  heavy  shovel 
he  was  using,  felled  the  keeper  to  the  ground 
with  a  blow  on  the  temple  that  crushed  his 
skull.  The  convict  then  showered  several 
blows  on  the  prostrate  keei>er  with  the  edge  of 
the  shovel.  The  other  convicts  interfered,  and 
Barr  dropped  the  shovel  and  ran  down  the 
street.  He  was  captured  after  a  fierce  struggle. 
Cosier  dietl  after  being  carried  into  the  prison 
Inclosure.  This  is  the  fom-th  murder  by  con- 
Wcta  that  has  occurred  in  Auburn  in  Jive  years, 
and  the  only  capital  punishment  that  has  been 
inflicted  in  the  county  out  of  10  frightful  mur- 
der cases  in  that  time  was  forotie  of  these 
prison  murders. 

The  murderess  Cora  Youns:  was  the  mistress 
of  John  Barrett,  the  keeper  of  a  club-house  in 
this  city,  who  was  10  years  her  junior.  She  is 
believed  to  be  the  wife  of  a  wealthy  Vermont 
gentleman,  the  name  she  is  living  under  being 
assumed.  La^^t  Spring  she  became  jealous  of 
Barrett's  attentions  to  another  woman,  and  one 
night  in  the  early  p»rt  of  June  she  visited  Bar- 
Tett's  club-house,  and  compelled  him  at  the. 
point  of  a  pistol  to  renounce  all  future  intimacy 
Vith  her  rival.  That  night  Barrett  ac-companie<l 
Cora  Young  to  her  HDartnients.  About  0 
o'clock  next  morning  the  reports  of  three  pis- 
tol-shots were  heard  proceeiUn^  from 
lier  sleeping-room.  It  was  entered  by 
force,  and  a  ghastly  sight  was  presented 
to  those  who  had  fpiined  eutranee.  Barrett 
lay  in  the  bed.  apparently  dead,  with  streams  of 
blood  pourinsr  from  his  head.  The  woman  lay 
by  his  side,  with  his  risht  arm  about  herneck, 
and  blood  llowintc  from  her  temple.  Barrett 
■was  alive  but  unconscious,  and  died  in  a  few 
luinutes.  Cora  Youug.  who  still,  held  a  small 
revolver  In  her  hand,  was  half  conscious.  She 
liad  shot  herself  twice.  One  ball  entered  near 
her  tt.-raple,  but  had  not  penetrated 
the  skUlL  lodi;ing  in  the  biick,  part 
cf  her  hf-ad»  between  the  si-alp  aiifl  bone. 
The  other  ball  had  penetrated  the  skull 
iust  above  the  right  ear»  and  a  probe  that  was 
inserted  two  ii^bes  in  the  brain  failed  to  find 
It.  The  ball  is  still  in  her  brain,  but  she  has 
entirely  recovered,  and  complains  of  no  ill- 
•Efects  from  her  wounds.  She  makes  no  state- 
ment in  regard  to  the  murder.  It  is  supposed 
that  she  liad  no  faith  in  the  promises  of  Bar- 
rett, and  determined  to  kill  him  and  herself  at 
the  same  time. 

The  latest  murder  in  this  county — the  sym- 
pathy of  the  community  seems  to  be  entirely 
with  the  murderer — was  the  result  of  a  com- 
bination of  melancholy  circumstances  which 
are  ma*le  the  more  prominent  by  the  high 
•landing  of  the  parties  concerned.  The  tragedy 
occurred  in  the  village  of  Sterling  Valley,  in 
the  northern  part  of  the  county,  on  the  13th 
ult.  The  victim  was  Philip  Proudfoot.  son  of 
the  late  Dr.  Alexander  Proudfoot.  who  was  well 
known  throughout  the  State.  This  family  of 
Proudfdot  is  one  of  the  oldest  and  most 
aristocratic  in  the  lake  country.  Isaac  M.  Hop- 
pin,  the  oldest  resident  of  the  town  of  Sterling, 
having  been  the  first  child  bom  in  Xorthem 
Cavupa,  Is  a  wealthy  farmer  of  the  same 
Tillage.  Between  his  youngest  daughter— then 
JiO  years  of  age,  hantUorae  and  accomplished — 
and'younp  Proudfoot's  intimate  relation.'*  grew 
up  some  three  years  ago,  and  it  was  thought 
they  were  to  be  married.  Under  promwe  of 
marriage  the  young  man  succeeded  in  accom- 
plishing the  Kirl's  ruin,  and  when  her  shame 
could  no  longer  be  concealed  he  fied  from  the 
vUlage  to  escape  the  consequences  of  his  per- 
fidy. When  Miss  Hoppln  learned  that  her  se- 
ducer had  deJ^rted  her  she  attempted  to  take 
her  life,  but  was  discovered  in  time  to  prevent 
the  act,  and  she  has  since  been  in  charge  of  a 
well-known  family  in  Auburn,  old  friends  of 
the  Hoppin  family. 

Edward  Hoppin.  brother  of  the  unfortunate 
pirl,  and  a  young:  man  of  the  highest  character, 
believing  the  story  of  his  sister  that  it  was  only 
by  the  most  seductive  wiles  and  ardent  promises 
of  Proudfoot  that  she  placed  her  honor  in  his 
keeping,  vowed  that  he  would  sooner  Or  later 
avenge  her  betrayal.  This  spirit  was  made  the 
more  determined  when  hisaj?ed  mother,  who  had 
steadily  declin*^!  in  health  from  the  date  of  the 
exposure  of  her  daughter's  shame,  died  of  grief. 
Young  Proudfoot  absented  himself  nearly  two 
years.  A  month  or  so  since  he  returned  to  Ster- 
ling. Edward  Hoppin  was  clerking  in  the  store 
of  J.  C.  Hunter  &  Co.,  in  the  village.  The  Post 
■  Oflice  is  in  the  store,  and  Hoppin  also  attended  to 
that.  On  theevening  of  the  tragedy  the  clerk  was 
alone  in  the  store.  Philip  Proudfoot,  whom  Hop- 
pin had  not  seen  since  his  return,  came  in,  and 
unhesitatingly  walking  up  to  Hoppin  asketl  him 
to  get  Dr.  Hugh  Proudfoot's  niail.  This  Dr. 
Proudfoot  was  an  uncle  of  Philip,  at  whose 
residence  the  latter  was  staying.  Young  Hoppin 
handed  over  the  mail  matter,  and  then  walked 
to  ^e  store  door,  meeting  Proudfoot  face  to 
face.  A  base-ball  bat  stood  near.  Hoppin  took 
tt  up  and  felled  Philip  to  the  floor  witn  a  single 
blow. 

"  You  ruined  my  sister  and  killed  mj  poorold 
mother  !'*  exclaimed  young  Hoppin,  but  before 
another  blow  rould  b©  struck  the  store  was  en- 
tered by  others,  and  Proudfoot  arose  and  stag- 
gered across  the  street.  The  blow  had  ruptured 
voveral  arteries  beneath  his  skull,  and 
}ie  died  in  a  few  hours.  Hoppin  was 
arrested,  and  lodged  in  jail  in  this  city. 
Despite  the  wealth  and  culture  of  its  popula- 
tion, Cayuga  County's  criminal  records,  diuing 
the  past  five  years,  make  a  chapter  that  can 
only  be  rivaled  by  the  records  of  Metropolitan 
crime.  In  1873  there  were  seven  murderers 
confined  at  one  time  in  the  jail  at  Auburn. 
Two  of  the  most  celebrated  cases  in  this  State 
were  among  the  number — those  of  Conrad 
Egler  and  Patrick  Swayne.  Conrad  Egler 
emigrated  to  this  country  from  Germanv 
in  1873,  at  the  age  of  10.  He  reached 
jCayuga  County,  and  in  April  of  that  year  was 
employed  by  Abram  Wescott,  of  the  towTi  of 
Xiocke.  to  work  upon  liis  farm.  We8cott*s  fami- 
ly consisted  of  himself,  his  wife,  and  an  adopted 
Ifirl,  aged  12  years,  named  Ettie  Conkling.  On 
the  3d  of  May  following  Egler's  advent  at  the 
farm,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  ^Vescoit  left  him  and  the 
girl  at  home  attending  to  their  respective  duties, 
while  they  went  to"  the  village  of  Moravia  to  do 
Bome  tradincr.  Between  I'J  and  1  o*clock  on 
that  day.  a  little  niece  of  Wescott,  who  lived 
on  an  adjoinlBg  farm,  went  over  to  her  uncle's 
to  eee  KUle  Conkling.  There  was 
no  ono  to  be  seen  about  the  house, 
rte  girf  entered  a  Uttlo  pantry  between  the 
kitchen  and  dining-room,  and  tfaiere  she  discov- 
ered the  dead  body  of  Ettie  lying  on  the  floor, 
face  downward,  with  a  ahoe-knife  sticking  in 
her  back.  The  girl  gave  the  alarm  at  once.  The 
Lkironet  was  summoned.  Six  stabs  were  found 
In  the  girl's  breast,  and  back.  One  had  pene- 
trated h*3r  heart,  nearly  cutting  it  in  two.  The 
tnife  had  been  left  sticking  in  her  back  by  her 
assassin,  as  it  had  separated  the  vertebne  of  the 
■pine,  and  was  held'  so  tightly  that  it  reqidred 
t^e  main  force  of  two  men  to  extract  it 
Qieat  locks  of  th«  glii's  hair  had  been  pulled 
ftomhor  bead,  azid  she  bad  been  dragged  about 
thft  floor*    *Shm  houm  had  b»«in  wnMairnJ.  boi 


the  only  articles  miBslng  were  a  coat  and  root, 
and  apair  of  square-toed  boots  bel»ngine  to 
Mr.   WMtcott    £gler  could  not  be  found  about 

the  premises.  His  boots  were  found  near  the 
house,  and  tracks  of  the  boots  taken 
from  the  house  led  away  from  the 
spot  He  was  discovered  toward  even- 
ing at  EUis  Hollow,  six  miles  from  Westcott's. 
Altliough  armed  with  a  large  knife,  he 
made  no  resistance  to  arrest,  and  admitted  the 
killing  of  the  girL  He  said  he  went  to  the 
house  to  get  sometiiing  to  eat.  Ettie  would  not 
get  it  for  him,  and  made  sport  of  his  broken 
En^ish ;  he  got  mad  at  her,  and  she  kicked 
him  'j  he  kicked  her ;  she  struck  him,  and 
he  took  up  the  knife  that  she  had  been  paring 
potatoes  with  and  stabbed  her  ;  she  ran  to  the 
door  to  call  help  ;  he  seized  her  by  the  hair  and 
pulled  her  backward  t^  the  floor  and  pitmged 
the  knife  Into .  her  body  until  she 
was  dead;  He  left  the  knife  sticking  in  her 
back,  because  when  he  tried  to  pull  it  out  it 
lifted  tho  girl's  body  &*om  the  floor.  Egler 
was  tried,  convicted  of  murder  in  the  first  de- 
gree, and  sentenced  to  be  hanged  on  the  6th  of 
February,  1874.  A  writ  of  error  was  granted 
to  his  counsel,  and  stay  of  execution  obtained. 
Meanwhile  Egler  had  communicated  with  Ma 
family  in  Germany,  which  turned  out  to  be  an 
influential  one.  A  claim  was  made  by  the 
Gorman  authorities  on  the  person  of  Egler. 
After  long  legal  proceedings  between  the  two 
countries,  it  was  decided  that  the  claim  was 
good,  and  the  prisoner  was  handed  orer  to  the 
courts  of  that  countrv.  It  was  stipulated,  how- 
ever, that  he  should  be  punished  there  as  he 
would  have  been  here.  He  was  given  a  trial  in 
Ms  native  land,  and  sentenced  to  two  years*  im- 
prisonment! It  is  said  that  he  returned  to  this 
country  the  piist  Spring. 

The  crime  known  as  the  "  Feed-bag  mtirder  " 
obtained  wide  notoriety,  owing  to  the  mystery 
that  surrounded  It,  and  which,  legally,  still  sur- 
rounds it.  Henry  Page,  in  October,  1872,  had 
charge  of  the  canal  bam  of  Stoke  &  BaUard,  in 
Montezuma,  on  the  Erie  Canal.  He  was  a  young 
Englishman,  of  a  good  Caiiadian  family.  Pat^ 
rick  Swayne  was  a  boatman  with  whom  Page 
was  intimate.  Swayne  slept  with  Page  in  the 
office  of  the  bam  whenever  his  boat  laid  up  at 
Montezuma.  On  the  night  of  Oct.  11,  1872, 
Swayne  and  Page  went  to  the  office  toother. 
Next  day  Page  did  not  appear.  Thirty  dollars 
that  should  have  been  in  the  office  drawer 
were  missing.  Swayne  said  that  about  11 
o'clock  on  the  previous  night  Page  told  him 
that  he  was  going  up  the  canal  to  see  his  girl. 
He  unlocked  the  drawer,  took  the  money  out. 
went  away,  and  Swayne  went  to  bed.  He  .had 
seen  nor  beard  nothing  of  his  companion  since. 
Two  feed-bags  were  alio  missing  from  the  bam. 
It  was  thought  Page  had  fallen  into  the  canal 
and  been  drowned,  bnt  thorough  dragging  failed 
to  find  his  body.  He  had  visited  his  sweetheart, 
and  staried  back  to  the  bam  about  2  o*clock. 
In  the  latter  part  of  August.  1873.  a  nimiber 
of  laborers,  wno  were  digging  a  drain  through 
a  portion  of  the  groat  Montezuma  ^Iar»h,  a  mile 
from  the  Wayne  County  line,  came  upon  the 
remains  of  a  man  floating  in  the  marsh.  Por- 
tions of  clothing  were  on  the  body,  and  where 
protected  flesh  still  clung  to  the  bones.  There 
was  a  rope  tied  about.the  neck  and  one  around 
the  ankles.  At  the  end  of  each  i^jpe  a  partiallv 
decayed  bag  depended.  The  bottom  of  eaon 
bag  was  rotted  out.  These  remains  were  easily 
identified  as  those  of  the  missiui^  Henry  Page. 
By  marks  that  still  were  intelligible,  the  bags 
were  recognized  as  the  feed-bags  that  had  dis- 
appeared simultaneously  with  i  Page.  It  was 
plain  that  Pa^e  had  been  murdered,  and  his 
body  sunk  in  the  depths  of  the  marsh  by  means 
of  weights  placed  in  the  bags  aud  fastened  to 
his  neck  and  feet.  The  bags  had  rott«d  in  the 
swamp,  until  they  were  toq  weak  to  hold  the 
weight  within  tliem.  The  bottoms  were  torn 
out.  and  the  body  thus  permitted  to  rise  to  the 
surface.  Pace's  throat  was  cut,  and  his  lower 
jaw  bone  broken.  That  he  had  been  murdered 
by  Swayne  was  the  universal  belief.  Search 
was  made  for  the  latter,  and  he  was  found  and 
arrested  near  Syracuse.  He  denied  all  knowl- 
edge of  the  crime,  and  the  evidence  on  the  trial 
was  not  sufficient  to  warrant  a  conviction.    - 


COL,  SCOTT  TO  HIS  J/E.V. 


ADDRESS   TO   THE   EMPLOYEES   OP   THE   PEIO;- 
STLVAJILV   RAILROAD   COMPANT. 

President  Scott  has  transmitted  the  resolu- 
tion of  tha  Board  uf  the  Pennsylvania  Koilroad 
Company,  thanking  tho  employes  for  their  fidelity 
during  the  late  strike,  with  the  foUowing  address  : 
Pbesident's  Office,  Aug.  4.  1S77. 
To  all  the  lyoyal  Einplvyet  pf  the  l*eniisylvania  Sail- 
road  Cotapany  : 

It  gives  me  preat  pleasure  to  transmit  to  you  the 
followins  preamble  aud  resolutiun  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  this  company,  tbaukiiig  yuu  for  the 
manner  in  which  you  writh-stood  intimidation  and 
violence,  and  thereby  greatly  aided  tho  lawful  authur- 
itiefl  in  restoriug  the  use  of  the  highways  con> 
trolled  by  it  tu  the  basineks  of  tha  pub- 
lic and  tho  eommerre  of  the  |  couBtxy.  Al- 
low me  to  cull  yoxir  attention  to  the  fact 
that  daring  the  entire  history  of  thi»  company,  ex- 
tending over  a  period  of  mure  than  30  years,  its  mau- 
ucement  has  always  conaidt^red  the!  contentment  and 
well-being  of  the  men  in  tta  service  of  the  tcreatest 
importance ;  and  it  ha^  always  felt  able  to  challen^ 
comparison,  both  as  to  rate  of  c-umpenistttion  and  caro 
for  the  personal  comfort  of  its  eiiployea,  with  any 
other  employer  of  labor  in  the  countrj'.  It  has  al- 
ways given  a  prompt  hearing  to  any  complaint,  aud 
I  can  safely  say  that  no  employe  or  committee  of 
emnloyes  of  the  company  has  ever  been  denied  by  mo 
a  re&pectf  al  consideration  of  any  allei^ed  grievance. 

I  ought  also  to  say  to  you,  in  the  frankest  manner, 
that  the  recent  redaction  of  compeoisatlon  was  a  ne- 
cessity growing  out  of  the  depres*ejd  condition  of  all 
business  interests,  and  was  aaopte<l  not  before,  but 
after,  every  means  had  been  taken  in  other  directions 
to  avoid  it.  For  the  last  four  year*  the  uianagement 
of  this  company  has  been  strenuons  and  earnest  in 
seeking  to  secure  the  best  revenues  ipossible  under  the 
existing  couditiou  of  businesn,  and  to  diminish  its  ex- 
penditures in  every  legitimate  manner,  so  as  to  leave 
to  you  satisfactory  compensation  far  your  labor,  and 
to  the  owners  of  the  property  a  lair  interest  npou 
their  investment.  The  reduction!  of  dividends  to 
shareholders  has  been  more  than  twic«  as  great  as  the 
reducti'jn  of  your  compensation. 

The  causes  that  led  to  the  redtuctlon  tnade  on  the 
1st  of  June  were  fully  explained  tp  a  large  commit- 
tee, known  as  the  Cieneral  Grievance  Committ«e  of 
Enf^eers  and  Firemen,  employed  en  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Road  and  leased  lines  east  of  Pittsburg,  who 
conferred  with  me  on  the  4th  of  June  last.  After  a 
full  Intert^hauge  of  views,  the  committee  advised  me 
lu  their  letter  o'f  that  date  thnt  "as  the  business  of 
the  country  was  so  depressed  iix  all  its  various 
branches,  tliey  believed  it  the  duty  of  the  engineers 
and  firemen  to  cheerfully  eo-operat«  in  advancing  the 
best  intereats  of  the  company."  They  were,  there- 
fore, entirely  satisfied  that  tho  cninpany  had  simply 
done  what  was  right  and  proper  hnder  tlie  circum- 
stances, and  were  ready  to  stand'  by  ius  mimagement 
in  the  action  that  had  been  taken  J  hoping  that  wh^ 
the  country  became  more'  prosperous  their  wages 
wonlfl  be  restored  to  the  old  standard. 

I  do  not  believe  that  the  lawless  work  of  violent 
men.  which  has  so  seriously  deranged  all  business 
relations  for  the  past  two  weeks,  can  long  postpone 
the  return  of  that  obedience  to  law  which  is  essen- 
tial to  every  man  in  the  service  lof  the  company. 
Only  through  the  preservation  of  law  and  order  can 
the  families  and  homes  of  the  men,  and  the  men 
themselves,  be  afforded  that  full  pi^otection  to  which 
all  good  citizens  are  equally  entitltkl. 

I  desire  to  impress  upon  every  thinking  man  in  the 
spr\iee  the  great  injustice  that  has  been  done  by 
the  attempt  to  enforce  a  strike  scich  as  was  inang- 
xirated  July  19,  without  so  much  as  a  proposition 
for  a  conference  with  any  officer  of  the  compaoy.  I 
beheve  thatif  a  proper  opportunity  had  been  offered 
for  a  conference,  the  parties  disposed  to  engage  in 
such  an  effort  could  have  been  entirely  satisfied  as  to 
the  necessity  of  the  action  taken  by  this  company, 
or  if  it  could  have  been  shown  that  there  were  pecu- 
liar hardships,  they  could  have  been  remedied  with- 
out resorting  to  such  lawless  acta  as  have  brought 
disgrace  upon  oar  whole  country. 

No  alternative  was  left  to  tms  company,  when  its 
trains  and, business  of  tho  public  had  been  interfered 
with,  but  to  ask  the  proper  authorities  in  the  various 
localities  to  suppress  disorder  and  enforce  the  lawj 
whereUy  its  property  would  be  protected  and  restored 
to  the  possession  of  its  owners.  To-day  I  feel  at  Ub- 
erty  to  congratulate  you  upon  t^e  virtual  attainment 
of  Uiat  result,  in  so  far  tliat  the  railways  of  the  com- 
pany have  been  opened  to  the  public  and  its  property 
restored,  except  where  it  had  oeen  destroyea  by  moo 
violence,  and  beg  to  thank  you  heartily  for  yourloyal 
steadfastness  to  the  best  interests  of  the  company, 
which  are  also  your  own  best  interests. 

I  trust,  after  the  experience  of  the  past  few  weeks, 
every  man  in  the  service  will  feel|it  hia  duty,  u  well 
as  his  pleasure,  if  he  has  a  grievance,  to  present  it  to 
the  proper  oflBcers  for  consideration,  and  that  here- 
after the  works  of  this  company  will  be  prot«ct«d 
from  all  violence.  Your  interests'  are  identical  with, 
and  inseparable  from,  those  of  the  company.  As 
yon  now  share  in  the  adversity  consequent  upon  the 
universal  depression  and  sta^atioa  of  business,  you 
will  be  equally  sore  to  share  in  the  prosperity  which 
I  confidently  believe  awaits  the  company  and  the 
general  business  interests  of  the  country  in  the  early 
niture.    Xerv  respectfully.

THK  DEMOCBATIC  PARTY  PLEDaiD  TO  RE- 
PEAL THE  RESUMPTION  ACT— EMTOBA- 
TION  OIP  THE  SILVBB  DOLLAR. 

The  Cincinnati  EnqxUrer  reports  at  length  a 
speech  delivered  by  Senator  Back  at  a  mass-meeting 
of  the  Democzttt*  of  Mason  County,  Ky,,  on  the 
4thinst.  We  quote  the  following,  in  which  he  Is 
speaking  of  the  Demooratie  Party :  *'  We  are  pledged 
as  a  party  to  the  tmeonditlanal  repeal  of  the  Gold 
Resumption  Act  which  the  Radicals  have  fastened 
upon  the  conntry  in  the  interest  of  the  foreign  and 
domestic  bondholder  We  r^ard  tha  contraction 
of  the  cqrrencjr  necessary  to  such  resumption  as  the 
prime  cause  |Of  the  bankruptcy  and  mln  which 
tbieaten  all  tl:^e  debtor  daasea,  and  of  the  paralysis 
which  has  fallen  upon  our  induatries,  making  beggars 
of  thousands  who  are  wiUing  to  work,  and 
eanaing  outbreaks  which  endanger  the  peace  of  the 
conntrv,  and  the  security  of  property  everywhere. 
We  will  restore  for  all  purposes  the  old  standard 
silver  dollar  as  a  unit  of  value  equal  to  gold  ;  it 
was  demonetised  by  fraud,  falsehood,  and  sup- 
pression of  the  truth  by  the  Radical  leaders  and 
their  foreign  allies  so  secretly  that  even  the  press, 
which  learns  everything,  did  not  know  for  months 
that  it  had  been  done.  I  hope  and  believe  that  we 
will  saeoeed  in  requiring  the  Government  to  re- 
ceive its  own  legal-tender  notes  for  its  customs 
dues,  and  stop  its  repudiation  of  the  paper  it  forced 
all  but  the  bondholder  to  receive  for  all  the  debts 
it  owes.  We  will  surely  ma-intain  our  position  to 
so  adjust  tariff  taxation  that  its  main  object,  at 
least,  will  be  to  obtain  revenue,  and  not  to  keep 
it.  as  now,  arraigned  to  destroy  revenue,  and  quad- 
ruple the  cost  of  necessary  ariicles  to  the  con- 
somers  by  prohibiting  imports,  so  as  to 
enrich  a  few  pampered  monopolists.  With 
these  reforms  effected,  and  with  decent  economy  and 
reasonable  honesty  in  the  adminLstration  of  public 
affaiza,  with  States  and  people  allowed  to  manage 
their  private  concerns,  Iree  from  ofiicious  meddlers, 
we  will  at  once  become  a  free,  prosperous,  and  happy 
people.  I  know  how  little  value  iis  attached  to  gen- 
eral charges  of  mLsmanngemeut  and  maladministra- 
tion made  by  the  men  of  one  party  against  the  other, 
ther^ore  I  propose  to  state  briefly  an  outline  of  the 
facts  relative  to  currency  and  taiatinu.  as  these  are 
the  pressing  questions  now.  so  that  each  of  the  audi- 
ence can  exainiue  for  himself  and  see  whether  or  not 
the  Radical  policy  Is  as  bad  as  I  claim  it  to  be. 

They  hav^  brought  the  country'  by  law  to  the 
point  where  all  debts  of  the  Qeueral  Government,  of 
the  States,  of  the  munidniilities,  of  the  railroad,  and 
other  corporations,  as  weil'as  of  private  individuals, 
have  to  be  paid  in  gold  alune,  or  its  etjulvalent,  on 
and  after  the  1st  day  of  January,  lB/9,  about  17 
months  from  this  date.  The  aggregate  of  these  debts 
is  computed!  to  exceed  $0.0007000.000,  more  than 
three  tunes  |the  amount  of  all  the  gold  coin  In  tiie 
worid.  We  liave  not  got.  and  cannot  possibly  obtain 
before  that  date,  over  $300,000,000  in  gold,  or  say 
5  per  cent,  of  the  uuioont  we  owe,  less  than  one 
year's  interest,  half  of  that  In  the  hands  of  foreigners. 
Forced  resumption  now  fastened  upon  lu  is,  imder 
such  circumstances,  univer>a)  bankruptcy  ;  the  iium- 
bor  and  magnitude  of  the  tailurea  of  our  business 
men  are  fearful  to  contemplate,  and  we  are  daily 
going  from  bad  to  worse.  The  Federal  and  State 
Governments,  the  banks  and  other  great  corpora- 
tions, are  all  \  compelled  to  contract  their  loans  aud 
their  ctrculatHon  in  order  to  meet  what  they  have 
outstanding  in  gold,  which  they  must,  of  course, 
make  the  smallest  amount  possible.  Xo  prudent 
man  dare  borrow  money  now  to  invest  in  any  busi- 
ness, AS  it  is  obvious  that  he  cannot  hope  to  realise 
enough  fron^  the  sale  of  any  product  of  iudustr)- 
here^tor  toi  repay  the  money  he  borrows  and  Its 
interest  in  goltL  A  lender  may  be  willing  to 
lend  .IdOiOOO,  taking  a  mortgage  on  n  farm  worth 
S'.20,0O4),  in  the  hope  of  buying  it  in  for  the 
^10,000  loaned;  but  the  ownerof  such  a  farm,  no 
matter  how  much  he  wants  the  money,  dare  not  bor- 
row it.  Yet  we  are  told  money  is  abundant  I  Cer- 
tainly, because  safe  borrowers  cannot  bo  found. 
Manufacturing  establishments,  rolling-mills.  Indus- 
tries all  over  the  land  whicii  demanded  vast  sums  of 
money,  are^closed,  and  their  hands  are  tramps  or 
strikers,  because  there  is  not  only  no  prospect  of 
profit,  bnt  ftlcertainity  of  absolute  ruin  by  a  continu- 
ance of  the  lousiness.  Yet  the  Ixtudholdcr!!  and  other 
leeches  who  are  demanding  gold,  and  gold  only,  so 
that  they  can  buy  projicrty  at  their  own  prices,  are 
continuing  the  cry  ttuit  uionuy  is  cheap  and  abund^ut. 
Does  any  gentleman  hero  lunless  he  is  a  biuiiiKr  or 
bondholder)  know  how,  where,  or  from  whom  he  can 
obtain  gold  to  pay  hia  debts  or  meet  bis  liabilities  i 
The  Government  pavR  gold  only  to  the  bondholder; 
from  him  only  can  ft  be  obtained,  at  his  own  rates, 
by  tHose  who  are  compelled  to  have  it."

3Ir.  James  H.  Gibson,  a  business  man  of  St. 
Louis,  sendA  to  the  Republican  ot  that  cltyaconi- 
munication  I  reading  thus:  "In  your  issue  of  ^thia 
date  I  notlc^  s  case  of  a  little  i^I  in  Memphls^rho, 
having  a  pl^ce  of  iron  tbrust  in  her  head,  and;  after 
losing  some  of  her  brains,  seems  to  be  in  a/falr  way 
of  recovery.  In  1856  we  had  in  our  employ  a  stout, 
healthy  German,  20  years  of  age — Charles  Blome  by 
name.  Charles  was  fond  of  hunting/ and  one  day 
while  Shooting  ducks  over  in  Illinpis/bottom,  Ms  gun 
burst,  and  the  breech-pin  blew '  out  and  sunk 
in  his  forehead,  three-(]uart.«(rs  of  au  inch 
above  the  right  eye.  lie  was  found  senseless 
by  a  Frenchman  who  knew  him,  and  was 
brought  home  In  a  cart.  /L'pon  the  third  day. 
while  his  mother  was  washing  his  wound,  she 
noticed  son^thing  protruding  from  his  head.  and. 
calling  her  husband's  attention  to  It,  he  took  a  pair  of 
shoemaker's  pincers  aud  pulled  out  the  brecch-pln. 
about  one  and  a  quarter  inches  in  length.  There  was 
more  than  a  tablespoonfut  of  brains  oozed  out  of  the 
wound,  and  many  pieces  of  bone.  In  three  months 
he  came  back  to  work,  apparently  all  right,  except 
that  he  had  lost  the  sense  of  smell.  He  worked  for  us 
six  months  ;  joined  the  Turners',  marched  in  the  hot 
Bun  one  day,  and  the  next  morning  came  up  sick :  had 
to  get  a  conveyance  to  take  him  home,  and  died  in  a 
few  days.  Dr.  Eugelman  opened  his  head.  Tht^re 
was  no  brains  m  the  right  side  of  .  his  bead  and  a  tu- 
mor had  formed  in  the  back  part." 

/  A  STUDEXrS  GOOD  FRJEXDS. 
In  announcing  tho  death  of  Prof.  Samuel 
Emmons  Brown,  of  the  Rochester  Theological  Semi- 
nary, at  Lowell,  Mass.,  on  Sunday,  of  typhoid  fever, 
the  Rochester  Union  says:  "Many  of  his  friends 
here  were  not  even  aware  of  his  Illness  until  the 
news  of  his  death  came  this  morning.  He  was  ap- 
pointed acting  Professor  in  place  of  the  lato  lamented 
Dr.  Hackett  on  Sept.  U,  last  year,  little  less  than  a 
year  ago,  but  during  the  tenn  he  proved  himself  such 
an  excellent  man  for  the  place  that  there  Is  no  doubt, 
had  he  lived,  he  would  have  been  appointed  to  the 
full  Professorship.  Mr.  Brown  was  bom  Feb.  27, 
1847,  in  Portland,  Me.,  and  prepared  for  college 
in  Phillips  Academy,  Exeter,  N.  H.  While  there 
he  attracted  the  attention  of  Rev.  Dr.  Andrew 
P.  Peabody,  of  Harvard  University,  and  he 
wai^  so  struck  with  his  brilliant  talents  that 
he  paid  his  entire  expenses  at  Har^'ard  Col- 
lege during  his  four  years  of  study  at 
that  Institution.  Mr.  Brown  graduated  in  a 
Class  of  100  in  1870.  standing  second  in  his  class. 
He  then  entered  Rochester  Theologioal  tjeminary, 
graduating  in  1873.  AVhile  there  he  came  under  the 
notice  of  Mr.  J.  B.  Trevor,  the  millionaire,  who  has 
been  such  a  good  friend  to  the  Seminarv,  and  he, 
too,  seemed  so  struck  by  the  promise  ot  a  future 
brilliant  career  for  the  young  student,  that  he  paid 
the  entire  expenses  of  his  trip  abroad  after  he  had 
graduated.  Mr.  Brown,  after  graduating  here, 
studied  in  Leipsic  and  Halle,  Germany,  and  after- 
ward studied  modem  Greek  in  Athens,  and  visited 
Egypt  and  Palestine,  thus  acquiring  a  rare  and  valu- 
able experience.  On  his  return  home  lie  was  hi>- 
pointed  to  the  position  in  the  Semina^,  which  he 
held  at  the  time  of  his  death — Aetiue  Professor  of 
Kew  Testanaent  Exegesis.  He  gave  promise  of  being 
one  of  the  most  brilliant  theological  Professors  in 
the  country,  his  accurst^  and  qolckness  of  mind  be- 
ing remarkable." 

CUE  FATBASSV^OBED  I2i  SAN  FRANCISCO. 
The  San  Francisco  ChronicU  of  July  30  says  : 
"A  rumor  obtained  currency  through  the  city  late 
yesterday  afternoon  that  the  mob  had  arisen  in 
New-York,  captured  the  City,  put  it  to  :flame8,  and 
were  in  the  act  of  firing  the  Western  Union  Tele- 

Cph  building  on  Broadway,  when  the  wires  had 
n  cat  and  no  further  news  could  be  received. 
This  was  a  highly  sensational  and  inflammatory  piece 
of  news,  and  appearing  to  come  on  sufficient 
authority,  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  hold  a  session 
of  the  Citizens'  Executive  Committee  to  provide  for 
the  counteraction  of  any  UI  effect  it  might  have  on 
the  mob  here.  But  fortunately  the  news  was  not 
true.  A  dispatch  this  mondng  from  New- York 
states  that  the  interruption  to  the  wires  was  caused 
by  a  small  fire  in  the  operating-room,  necessitating 
the  transmission  of  dispatches  from  Jersey  City."'' 

A  PRESEIfTIMEyT  OF  DEATH. 

The  Qreat  Falls  (N.  H.)  Journal  says  that  the 
father  of  Boscoe  Pond,  who  was  drowned  at  West 
Lebanon  last  week,  had  a  vivid  premonition  of  his 
death.  Mr.  Pond  had  been  stopping  at  Oganquit, 
and  some  days  before  the  accident  he  dreamed  that 
he  saw  Roseoe  slide  from  the  rocks  and  become  en- 
gulfed in  the  wnvea.  So  virid  was  It  that  he  could 
not  get  rid  of  the  Impression,  aud  Saturday  he  went 
down  to  the  beach  to  see  if  all  was  safe,  ana  when  he 
came  away  cautioned  his  children  over  and  over  i^aiT^ 
to  be  very  careful-  At  0  o'clock  Tuesday  afternoon 
the  dream' had  its  fulfillment.  Rosooe  had  fixed  a

WAeHlNQTON,  Aug.  7--i-The  Supreme  Court 
of  tha  United  States  hate  rendered  decisions  as 
follows:  /  ,  I  X 

No.  2B—The  Aei  '-Torh  Life  Inturanee  Company, 
ttppeHant,  vt.  WtUit  .m  O.  Statham  and  Pamulia  A. 
JMtdtey,  /ormstiy  ParmtHa  A.  SUUham^  and  two 
other  coser.— Appei  1  from  the  Circuit  Court  of  the 
United  States  for  the  Southern  District  of  Missis- 
■IppL— The  first  of  these  caaes  is  a  bill  in  equity,  filed 
to  recover  the  amcuntof  a!  policy  of  life  insurance 
granted  by  the  def<  ndanta  mow  plaintiffs  in  error)  in 
1851,  on  the  life  of  Dr.  A.  B.  BUtham,  of  Missis- 
sippi, from  the  pi  oceeds  of  certain  funds  belong- 
ing to  thfr  defendants  [attached  in  the  hands 
of  their  agent  at  Jackson  iji  |  that  State.  It  appears 
from  the  statements  of  the  bill  that  the  annual 
premiums  accruing  on  the  policy  were  all  regularly 
paid  until  the  breaking  out  of  the  late  civil  war,  but 
that  in  conseouence  of  that  eveut  the  premium  due 
on  the  8th  of  Decjember,  1861,  was  not  paid,  the 
parties  assured  being  residents  of  Mississippi  and  the 
defendants  a  corporation  of  New-York.  Dr.  Statham 
died  in  July  18b*4  The  second  case  Is  an  action  at 
law  brought  in  the  same  court  against  the  same 
defendants  to  re«)ver  the  amount  of  a  policy 
Issued  in  185J>  [on  the  t  life  of  one  Henry 
S.  Seyms,  the  |  husband  of  the  plaintiff. 
In  this  case,  also,  the  prejpi^ums  had  been  paid  until 
the  breaking  out  of  the  wiir;  when,  by  reason  thereof, 
they  ceased  to  he  paid,  the  plaintiff  and  her  husband 
being  residents  of  Mississippi.  Se>TDs  died  in  May, 
187*2.  The  third  i  case  is  a  similar  action  at  law 
brought  in  the  saine  court  against  the  Manhattan 
Life  Insurance  Compaov  of  New- York  to  recover 
the  amount  of  a  policy  Issued  by  ^em  in  1858  on 
the  life  of  G.  L.  Bick,  of  Vicksburg,  Miss.,  the  cir- 
cumstances being  J  substantial  Iv  the  same  as  in  the 
other  cases.  The  policies  lii  all  the  cases  were  in  the 
usual  form  of  such  Instrunienta.  declaring  that  the 
company,  in  consideratibn  of  certain  speci- 
fied snma  to  tUom.  in  hand  paid  by  the  as- 
sured, and  of  an  annual  premium  of  the  same 
amount  to  be  paid  on  the  same  day  and  month  in 
every  year  during  jthe  continuance  of  the  policy,  did 
assure  the  life  o^  the  party  named,  in  a  specified 
amount,  for  the  t^nn  of  his  natural  life.  The  noll- 
cles  contained  various  conditions  upon  the  breach  of 
which  they  were  tobenull  and  void,  and  among  others 
the  following  :  "  That  in  caie  the  said  [assured]  shall 
not  pay  the  said  premium  on  or  before  the  se%-f  ral  days 
hereinbefore  mentlonedfor  the  payment  thereof,  theu 
and  in  every  such  pase  the  said  couipany  shall  not  be 
liable  to  the  payment  of  the  sum  Insured,  or  in  any 
part  thereof^  and  this  policy  shall  cease  and  deter- 
mine." The  Manhattan  policy  contained  the  addi- 
tional provision  rtiat  in  every  case  where  the  poUcy 
should  cease  or  Ifecipme  n\ill  and  void, 
all  prerious  payments  nude  thereon  should  be  for- 
feited to  the  company.  The  nun-payment  of  the 
premiums  In  arruar  was  si^liup  in  bar  of  the  actions, 
and  the  plaintiffs  respectively  relied  on  the  exi8t«>nce 
of  the  war  as  an  excuse,  j  offering  to  deduct  the 
premiums  in  arrenlr  from  the  amounts  of  the  policies. 
The  opinion  of  the  court  is  |n  substance  as  follows  : 

"Ajiolicyof  Ufle  assurance  whicii  stipulates  for 
the  payment  of  an  annual  jpremium  by  the  assured, 
with  a  condition  to  be  void  ion  non-payment,  is  nut 
an  insurance  from!  year  to  year,  like  a  common  fire 
policy;  but  the  pBeminms  constitute  an  aunuitv,  the 
whole  of  whicli  u  tlie  consideration  for  the  entire 
assurance  for  life;  and  the  condition  is  a  condition 
subsequent,  makii  ig  void  the  policy  by  Its  non-per--- 
furmancu.  But  tie  time  of  payint-nt  in  such  polici^/^ 
is  material,  and  o(j  the  fssohce  of  the  contract,    au'd 


failure  to  pay  invdlves  an!  absolute  forfeiture,  which 
cannot  l>e  relieved  against  in  equity.  If  failure  to 
pay  the  annual  premium  be  caused  by  tho  interven- 
tion of  war  be; ween  ;the  territories  in/whicli 
the  insurance  company  and  the  /assured 
respectively  resit]  e,  whicJi  makes  it  tuiWwful  for 
them  to  hold  inteicoursu,  the  i>olicv  Is  nevertheless 
forfeited  if -the  co:npany  Iniiist  on  the  cojidition  ;  but 
in  such  a  case  the  uKSured  is  entitled  to  the  equitable 
value  of  the  policy  arising  from  the' premiums  jtlready 
paid.  Tlus  equiti  ble  value  is  the  difference  between

Company  inade  il  s  policy  of  insurance  upon  the  lives

/to  recover  the  Jamouut  ln.iured  by  such  i)oUcy. 
Upon  a  trial  ]  luforo  Uie  Circuit  Judge  and  a 
jury,  a  verdir-t  was  rendered  in  favor  of 
the  plaintiff'  for  the  amount  claimed.  The 
Insurance  compa  ly  seeks  to  set  aside  the  judgment 
rendered  tipon  tMs  verdict,  for  the  reasons  follow- 
ing: I.  Tliat  th  f  court  erred  in  refusing  the  request 
nuide  by  the  defundaui's  counsel  lo  (Jirect  the  jurv-  to 
find  a  verdict  for  the  defendant,  on  the  gn>und  that 
the  evidence  was  not  sufficient  to  sustain  a  verdict 
for  the  plaintiff.  This  request  was  based  upon  the 
allegation  that  tl  ore  was  undlsimted  evidence  of  a 
violation  of  "certain  expressed  warranties  con- 
tained in  the  J*  application,  the  *J2d,"  which 
referred  to  the  p  irtya  usual  medical  attendant,  and 
tho  answer  thereto;  and  also  "in  regard  to  ques- 
tion No.  7,  what  members  of  the  partv's  fauiily 
have  died  of  -or  been  afflicted  with''  certain 
diseases  name  1,  and  the  answers  thereto. 
It  will  not  do  foi  counsel,  in  requests  to  the  court,  to 
assitme  the  exist<  -nee  of  facts,  and  ask  a  charge  to  the 
lur)'  based  upon  such  assumption.  (Oladmon  vs. 
Railroad  Co..  15  Wall..  401.)  Nor  will  it  do  for 
counsel,  upon  argnment  before  this  court,  to  Insist 
that  because  the  coiuisel  below  made  sng^  _as>nimp- 
llon  we  are  to  cunsider  the  assumed fac^asexistiug. 
An  examination  of  the  record  before  us*  shofrs  tliat 
the  statements  upon  which  the  above  request  was 
made  are  withou  t  foundation.  There  is  no  evidence 
that  the  policy  contained  any  agreement  that  the 
statements  of  th9  application  should  be  express  war- 
.rantees,  or  that^they  shotdd  have  any  effect  what- 
ever. There  is -no  evidence  that  the  sppUcation, 
which  was  upon  jthe  trial  assumed  to  have  been  made, 
and  which  contained  the  questions  and  answers  re- 
ferred to,  was  ever  jwesented  to  the  Insurance  com- 
pany; there  is  no  eridence  that  the  policy  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Bakejr  was  based  upon  such  applica- 
tion; thet;^  is  no  evidence  that  the  policy  issued 
referred  in  'any|manneT  to  this  application,  or  that 
this  application  Referred  in  any  manner  to  the  policy. 
On  all  the«e"poiiits  we  have  no  information,  The 
record  Is  absoluBely  silent  as  to  each  of  them.  The 
only  inforrastlou  we  can  obtain  of  the  contents  of 
the  policy  is  froip  the  complaint  and  the  :iuswer. 
The  complaint  (not  referring  to  any  application)  al- 
leges the  executipn  of  a  policy  of  Insurance  for  the 
sum  of  ^lO.OUO  upon  the  lives  of  Baker  aud  his  wife, 
in  consideration  uf  the  payment  of  the  Bum  of 
$mi  ^0  at  th^  time  of  its  insurance,  and  of  the 
future  annual]  pavment  of  the  same  sum; 
alleges  the  death  of  the  wife,  notice  to  the  company, 
the  service  of  proofs,  and  the  performance  of  uU  the 
conditions  rofjuired.  The  company  answered,  ad- 
mitting the  allegations  of  the  complaint.  "  except  as 
hereinafter  modltied,  and  exccDt  the  allegation  that 
the  plaintiff  pert'urmed  all  the  conditions  of  the 
poUcy,"  as  to  which  it  alleges  a  failure  to  perform 
by  reason  of'  concealing  certain  information  set 
forth.  The  ansWer  also  denies  that  the  agreement 
to  pay  the  [sum  named  formed  the  sole 
consideration  of  the  policy,  but  alleges  that  the  rep- 
resentations made  in  the  "application  therefor" 
formed  a  part  oft  the  cousideration.  The  answer  pro- 
ceeds, "  secondly,  and  as  matter  constituting  a  de- 
fense to  the  actijou,"  to  allege  the  making  an  appli- 
cation in  writing  and  the  propounding  of  certain 
questions  therein,  and  the  answers  thereto,  and  the 
Agreement  that  such  statements  should 
form  the  basis  of  the  contract  of  insu- 
rance ;  that  |f  untrue,  the  policy  should  be 
void,  and  alle|^g  that  such  statements  were 
untrue.  All  the  special  matters  thus  set  forth  are 
matters  In  defense,  and  the  burden  of  proving  their 
truth  rested  up<|n  the  defendant,  if  this  application 
formed  the  basis  of  the  contract  of  insurance,  the  de- 
fendant shouJd  have  made  proof  to  that  effect  at  tlie 
trial.  If  the  plauitiff  had  stipulated  that  any  untrue 
statement  (wh»ither  material  or  not,  whether  will- 
ftilly  false  or  mpstakenly  untrue.)  should  destroy  his 
poycy,  the  defendant  should  have  proved  at  the  trial  a 
fact  so  material.!  No  such  proof  appears  in  the  record. 
By  the  course  [of  the  trial  it  was  assumed  that  an 
application  hadibeen  made,  and  that  it  contained  the 

?uestious  and  answers  numbered  as  above  set  forth. 
t  is.  however,  noitfhere  admitted  or  assumed  that  It 
formed  the  basis  of  the  policy,  or  that  the  policy 
contained  any  stipulation  in  regard  to  it.  The 
facts  upon  which  the  re<|uests  to  enarge  were  founded 
not  appearing  by  the  record,  cannot  be  as- 
stimed  to  exist,  and  without  examining  whetlier 
they  were  properly  refused  if  the  facts  had 
been  shown,  we  can  give  them  no  consid^ation. 
The  second  general  objection  of  the  defendant  is 
based  upon  an  alleged  error  in  admitting  evidence  of 
what  took  place  when  the  answers  to  the  questions  al- 
ready referred  to  were  vrritten  In  an  application  fur 
insurance.  These  questions  were  put,  and  the  an- 
swers were  written  down  by  Dr.  Wells,  the  agent 
of  t^e  insurance  company,  and  the  applica- 
tion was  signed  by  Mrs.  Baker.  Tliere  were 
present  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Baker,  I>r.  Wells, 
the  agent  of  the  company,  and  Dr.  Hlbbard.  The 
pro-ecdings  in  relation  to  question  No.  12  will  illus- 
trate the  course  of  the  trial.  <^ues0on — "Have  tho 
parties'  parents,  brothers,  or  sisters  been  afflicted 
with  pulmonary  or  other  diseases  hereditary  to  their 
nattirei"  to  which  the  answer  was  written  "No." 
Dr.  Hibbard  was  asked  to  state  the  conversation  that 
took  place  between  himself.  Dr.  Wells,  the  agent  of 
the  company,  and  Mrs.  Baker,  when  this  question 
was  put  and  answered.  I  To  this  evidence  objection 
was  made  on  the  *  ground  that  the  answer 
was  in  writing,  and  that  it  was  not  compe- 
tent to  vary  the  same  by  parol  testimony. 
The  objection  was  overruled,  and  the  witness 
answered:  "  I  asked  In  reference  to  the  cause  of 
death  of  her  brothers  and  sisters,  whether  t?iey 
d^  of  ptilmonary  consumption.  She  said  It 
was  reported  thnt  two  or  three  of  them  died  of  pul- 
monary consumption,  but  there  was  a  difference 
of  opinion  respecting  that,  and  she  was  unable 
to  decide,  but  her  view  of  the  question  was 
tfa«r  had  Aot  died  of  ocmsamntiou.''     The  aamo 


qaestipn  was  put  on  the  trial  to  the  plaintiff  a«  bad 
been  pnt  to  Dr.  Hlbbard,  and  &  similar  objection  was 
made.  He  gave  the  answer  of  Mrs.  Baker  as  similar 
to  that  given  by  Dr.  Hibbard,  but  more  in  detail  as 
to  the  supposed  causes  of  the  deaths  in  the  family. 
He  adds:  "After  ahe  had  completed  this  answer. 
Dr.  Wells  said  that  where  she  had  no  personal 
knowledge  she  was  to  answer  'don't  know.'  Dr. 
Wells  then  wrote  out  the  answer.  I  did  not  seewhat 
he  wrote."  He  testified  also  that  the  application  was 
not  read  over  to  Mrs.  Baker  after  being  filled  out  by 
Dr.  Wells.  The  subsequent  evidence  of  Dr.  Wells  was 
in  some  respects  contradictory  to  this  ;  he  stating 
among  other  things,  that  the  answers  were  read  over 
to  Itrs,  Baker ;  bnt  as  the  question  is  upon  the  admis- 
sibility of  the  evidence,  it  is  not  important  to  con- 
sider it.  It  is  manifest  upon  the  testimony  that  Dr. 
Wells,  the  agent  of  the  company,  tmdertook  to 
construe  and  interpret  the  answers  of  the 
applicant,  and  wrote  down  and  inserted 
in  the  apphcation  his  constmetlon  and 
interpretation  of  them,  and  not  the  answers  them- 
selves. The  evidence  objected  to  was  admissible  to 
show  that  the  statement  was  not  that  of  the  appli- 
cant, although  signed  by  her.  The  statement  was 
one  prepared  by  the  company,  for  which  It  was  re- 
spoiwible,  and  it  cannot  be  set  up  to  defe.nt  its 
pohcy.  The  Insurance  Company  vs.  Mahone, 
21  Wall.,  152,  is  a  full  and  satisfactory  au- 
thority to  this  point,  as  is  also  The  Insurance 
Company  vs.  Wilkinson,  13  lb.,  222.  In  the 
former  case  the  opinion  was  given  by 
Mr.  Justice  Strong,  and  in  the  latter  by  Mr.  Justice 
Miller,  and  each  of  them  contains  a  full  and  careful 
consideration  of  the  precLse  question  before  us. 
These  cases  are  so  recent  and  so  fulU'  in  point  that 
further  discussion  is  unnecessary.  The  objections  to 
the  other  questions  are  of  the  same  character.  Upon 
the  record  Defore  us  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the 
udgment  should  be  affirmed,  and  it  is  s(^  ordered. 
Justice  Htmt  delivered  the  opinion.

and  cotmsel  fee.  Judge  Van  Brunt  said  he  doubted 
whether  he  ought  to-gmnt  both,  and  Mr.  Ijangbein 
laughingly  responded,  "I  will  forego  the  alimony,  and 
be  content  with  the  cotmsel  fee. "  His  choice  was 
ratified  amid  the  smiles  of  those  in  tho  court-room, 
and  Mr.  Ijangbeiu  said,  aside,  "  My  client  is  a  rich 
womjin.  She  has  all  the  money  she  wants.  Sviiat 
she  cares  for  is  to  get  a  divorce  from'her  husband.'.' 


THE  m)ORE  DIVORCE  CASE.

the  second  marriage  wa^i  not  a  legal  oue.  Mooro 
dainw  that  the  intermediate  marriage  annulled  the 
decree  requiring  him  to  pay  $2, 500  a  year  as  alimony

In  October  last  the  Trustees  of  the  Village  of 
New-Brighton,  Staten  Island,  attempted  to  exceed 
their  powers,  contrary  to  the  provisions  of  the  char* 
ter.  by  issuing  bunds  and  borrowing  money  in  excess  of 
the  revenue  of  the  year,  and  also  by  charging  to  the 
village  the  macadamizing  of  certain  roads,  which 
were  properly  chargeable  to  the  ward  appropriations 
after  those  appropriations  Imd  beeu  exhausted.  The 
tax-payerSi  through  their  association,  protested 
against  these  measures,  and  warned  the  Trustees 
that  they  should  be  held  personally  liable  for  their 
acts  aud  for  all  the  costs  of  any  litigation  arising 
therefrom.  President  Whittemore  alone  supported 
the  tax-pa*~erft,  ui^t  the  other  .^Trustees  re- 
fused to  listen  to  the  protest,  aud  an  In- 
Joactiou      was      aobwuiDeotls'      ohtaia^      aaEidnst 


the  Trustees.  Judge  Gilbert,  however,  dissolved  the 
injtmctlon,  and  the  tax-payers  appealed  to  the  Oen- 
eral  Term,  which  nvezwd  Jodfe  Gflbait's  dadilon 
and  made  the  injunetJon  pennuignt*  The  Tnui 
then  went  to  Albany,  bofore  the  Ce^dsiature,  and 
temptedtoget  an  aet  legalizinA  their  acta.  Jrat  '  ' 
They  then  presented  a  bill  to  ueoLselvee  as  Ti 
for  their  lobbying  expenses,  about  $400,  ami'  for 
their  counsel  fees  and  costs  In  this  litigation/about 
$1,800.  and  were  about  to  pay  them  out  ofjChe  vil- 
lage funds,  when  the  tax-nayers  again  procured  an  in- 
junction, which  has  just  been  argued,  and^nade  per- 
manent by  Judge  Barnard,  on  the  ground' that  these 
claims  are  not  legal  ^-illage  charges,  and  cannot  be 
paid  out  of  villftire  funds.  The  suit  w^  brought  uh- 
der  the  act  of  1872  authorizing  &  tax-payer  to  briiig 
suit  to  prevent  waste  to  \-illage  fniids.  George  fi 
Greenfield  appeared  for  the  tax-payers,  and  Robert 
Sewell  for  the  Trustees.  7 

SOW  MR.  PLATET  W^S  SWINDLED. 
A  man  named  WilUani  TJllnm4i«  reddinf;  at 
No.  303  Third-street,  waa/arraignu  before  Jostioe 
Eilbreth,  at  Kasex  Market  Police  C^nrt,  yesterday, 
on  the  charge  of  obulning  money  OQm  David  L. 
Platky,  of  No.  98  S^-enth-street,  on  fi 
According  to  the  ^position  of  the  compl 
appeared  that  hia  brother  was  arrdted  on  July 
8  for  injuring  a  ehild  nam^  John  S.  Cox 
by  driring  /a  horse  over  him.  '  X-Hlsian, 
who  was  rec«itly  an  officer  of  the  Court  of  General 
Sessions,  ^t  was  discharged  on  July  1  for  permit- 
ting a  prisoner  to  escape,  told' the  complainant  that 
the  magistrate  before  whom  his  brother  was  ar- 
raigneji  would  not  admit  Mm  to  bail  except  on  the 
pi^seiitation  of  a  cettjficate  that  the  injured 
cliikr  was  out  of  danger.  He  intimated  to 
Phjiky,  however,  ^at  in  consideration  of  $25 
Police  Surgeon  Maclay  would  sign  the  necessary 
Certificate,  and  on  the  strength  of  that  statement 
obtained  $25  from  the  brother  of  the  prisoner.  A 
few  days  later  CUman  told  Platky  that  it  would  be 
necessary  to  pay  $20  to  Justice  Murray's  clerk  so  as 
to  induce  him  to  keep  the  papers  in  the  pigeon-holes 
of  the  court.  The  money  was  paid  by  ujo  unsus- 
pecting Platky ;  but  Ullman,  not  satisfied  with  what 
he  had  already  gained,  visited  his  victim 
again,  after  the  lapse  of  a  few  days,  and  said  that,  as 
the  papers  had  oeen  transmitted  to  the  District 
Attorney's  Office  through  a  mistake,  a  further  bribe 
of  $15  would  be  requisite  to  keep  them  off  the 
calendar.  This  sum  was  also  paid,  but  Platky, 
Buspectinff  that  something  was  vrrong,  applied  to 
Justlee  Kilbreth  for  ad\-ice.  and  thus  learned  that 
TJUman's  statements  were  untrue,  and  that  he  had 
appropriated  the  money  to  hia  own  use.  Dr.  Maclay 
testified  that  he  had  not  received  any  money  from 
Ullman,  but  that  lie  had  nevertheless  issued  a  certi- 
ficate that  the  child  had  recovered,  and,  on  the 
strength  of  the  assurance  of  the  surgeon,  the  papers 
in  the  case  were  retained  at  the  Police  Court.  Tlie 
accused  was  held  in  defatdt  of  $2,000  baa 


A  QUARREL  IN  BAXTER- STREET. 
On  Sunday  afternoon,  July  8,  Mrs.  Margaret 
Mains  and  Mrs.  Mary  Maclntyre,  Inmates  of  the 
same  tenement-house,  in  the  rear  of  No.  119  Baxter* 
street,  indulged  in  their  daily  habit  of  drinking  the 
vile  eoneoctiou  whidi  in  Baxter-street  is  called 
"  Bourbon  Whisky,  '  and  grew  quarrelsome.  A 
wordy  war  followed.  In  tlie  course  of  which  Mrs. 
Mains  called  Mrs.  Maclntyre  a  thief.  The  latter  re- 
torted by  stating  that  Mrs.  Mains  Uved  with  an  ac- 
knowledged thief,  which  remark  so  enraged  the  party 
to  whom  it  was  addressed  that  she  caught  up  a  table- 
knife  and  stabbed  Mrs.  ^laclntyre  on  the  head,  In- 
flicting an  ugly  scalp  wound.  On  seeing  what  she 
had  done,  Mrs.  Mains  ran  down  stairs 
and  secreted  herself  in  a  cellar,  while  her 
^ictim  was  carried  off  to  the  Chambers-Street 
Hospital.  The  pri.wner  was  subsequently  un- 
earthed from  her  hiding-place  and  lodged  in  the 
Tombs.  On  her  trial,  in  tho  Court  of  General  Ses- 
sions, yesterday.  Mrs.  Mains  admitted  having  quar- 
reled and  rlenched  with  her  adversary,  but  solemnly 
denied  all  knowledge  of  the  stabbing.  She  accounted 
for  Mrs.  Maclntyre 's  injtiries  by  stating  that  that  in- 
diridual  was  beastly  drunk,  and  had,  in  the  struggle, 
fallen  upon  a  stove,  thereby  wounding  herseli^  It 
being  a  question  of  oath  against  oath,  the  jurv  finally 
agreed  upon  the  minor  verdict  of  as-sault  andbattery, 
and  Jud^  Sutherland  .sentenced  Mrs.  Maina  to  six 
months  m  the  Penitentiary. 


FIVE  TEARS  IN  STATE  PRISON. 
On  July  7  a  young  man  named  James 
Reilly,  a  truck-driver,  knocked  at  tho  room  door  of 
Daniel  Dunne,  a  pensioner,  at  No.  13  Thompson- 
street,  and  was  courteously  invited  to  enter.  Dunne 
gave  further  evidence  of  his  hospitality  by  sending 
out  for  beer,,  which  was  brought  in  by  Reilly  s  wife. 
To  procure  the  necessary  money  he  had  to  take  a  $5 
bill  from  au  envelope  containing  $100,  which  he  con- 
stantly kept  between  the  mattresses  of  his  bed,  and 
carefully  looked  at  night  and  m.oming.  Another 
pitcher  of  beer  was  procured  and  drank,  and  shortly 
afterward  Dunne  became  semi -unconscious,  the  bev- 
erage, according  to  his  statement.  ha\'iiig  been  tam- 
pered with.  While  lying  helpless  he  was  robb<^,  and 
awoke  to  consciousness  next  day  to  find  the  treasured 
envelope  IWug  on  tho  floor,  with  its  contents  gone. 
He  thereupou  had  Reilly  arrestwi,  and  the  prisoner 
was  placed  on  trial  by  Assistant  District  Attorney 
Herring,  in  the  Court  of  (xenural  Sessions,  yesterday. 
In  answer  to  the  questions  of  counsel  for  the  defen.<ie 
Dunne  indignantly  denied  that  he  had  drank  ou  the 
day  of  the  alleged  theft,  but  under  nrossure  admitted 
that  he  had  "  gone  to  tho  grocery  stoi-e  and  ta^en  a 
little  whisky  and  cider  and  the  like  to  qneneh  his 
thirst.''  Reilly,  in  his  own  defense,  took  the  stand 
and  denied  I  he  theft,  although  when  arrested  by  Detec- 
tive Reynolds  he  acknowledged  he  had  taken  the 
money.  The  jury  found  the  prisoner  guilty,  and 
Judge*  Sutherland  sentenced  him  to  the  full  penalty, 
five  years  in  State  Prison  at  hard  labor. 


ANOTBER  DOG  CATCHER   IN  TROUBLE. 

Mrs.  Fredericka  Fleming,  of  No.  143  East 
Broadway,  appeared  at  Essex  Market  Police  Court 
yesterday  aud  entered  a  complaint  of  assault  and 
battery  against  a  dog-catcher  named  Thomas  Birmer- 
hom.  Mrs.  Fleming  is  the  proprietress  of  four  ca- 
nine pets.  On  Friday  evening,  while  she  was  seated  on 
the  stoop  of  her  residence,  a  poodle  reposing  peace- 
fully in  her  lap  and  another  dog  of  uncertain  breed 
sleeping  behind  her,  Birmerhom  appeared  «u  the 
scene  m  a  dilapidated  wagon,  ac'comi^uinled  by  a 
juvenile  assistant.  Alighting  lu  frdht  of  Mm.  Flem- 
ing's door,  the  dog-catcher  unceremoniously  appro- 
priated the  poodle,  while  the  assistant  took  charge  of 
the  unoffending  nondescript  canine  slumbering  be- 
hind his  mistress.  Recovering  from  her  surprise, 
Mrs.  Fleming  .sought  to  r^&in  possession  of  her  pets, 
and  was.  as  she  aUeges,  struck  riolently  on  the  breast 
by  Birmerhom  and  knocked  down.  He  then  threw 
the  dogs  into  the  wagon  and  drove  away.  Birmer- 
hom denied  assaulting  the  complainant,  but  ad- 
mitted haviuj^  obtained  possession  of  her  dogs  in  the 
manner  described.  Justice  Kilbreth  held  him  in  $300 
ball  to  answer. 


CRUELTY  TO  A  HORSE. 
The  case  of  Thomas  P.  Hughes,  of  No.  110 
Tenth-avenue,  who  was  arrested  by  one  of  Mr. 
Bergh's  officers  on  the  30th  of  July  last  for  alleged 
cruelty  and  ill-treatment  of  his  horse,  came  up  be- 
fore the  Court  of  Special  Sessions  yesterday.  Mr. 
Borgh  appeared  for  the  {Hrosecution,  and  by  way  of 
more  fully  illustrating  the  wretched  condition  of  the 
horise  to  the  court  he  exhibited  a  photfl|graph  of  the 
aniniaL  It  was  a  revolting  picture,  discjosing  a  large 
hole  in  the  head,  showing  the  muscles  tobe  com- 
pletely gone,  and  presenting  on  tho  whole  a  most 
emaciated  and  attenuated  form.  The  horse  was 
found  in  the  defendant's  stable,  by  Mr.  Bern's  offi- 
cer, feeding  and  reclining  on  its  own  filth.  The  de- 
fense was  that  the  horse  was  always  well  fed,  and 
was  at  the  time  of  the  defendant's  arrest  in  as  good 
condition  as  when  he  bought  him.  Hiighes  was  con- 
ricted  and. sent  to  the  City  Prison  for  lO  days.

nelius denied  the  charge,  and  yesterday  Mary  got  a

requiring  J.  t>ninn,  of  Seventy -fifth-street,  between 
Second  aud  Third  avenues,  to  produce  her  husband,

dustrial resources  of  this  country  for  the  French  Ex- 
position, was  before  Judge  Smith,  in  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  yesterday,  but  owing  to  the  absence  of

PLEASURE  XACBT  BLOWN  UP. 
A  telegram  from  Folton  to  the  Syracuse 
Courier,  dated  4th  inst,  says.-  ''The  boiler  of  tho 
yacht  Hattie  E.,  of  Osw^jo,  exploded  at  Hinman\-iile 
at  4  o'clock  this  afternoon,  while  rotumine  from 
Oneida  Lake  with  an  excursion  party  consisting  ol 
D.  E.  Taylor.  County  Clerk ;  Kaiisum  G.  Ball  nnd 
wife,  and  W,  G.  Pentdow  aud  wife,  with  John 
Brcnan.  engineer,  and  a  steersman  named  Abram. 
The  party  were  in  a  hurr>-  to  pet  home,  and  had  160 
pounds  of  stAm  on  at  the  time.  When  in  the  lock, 
the  water  out,  and  tho  gate  shut,  the  f  rplosion  oc- 
curred. The  boat  was  blown  into  splinters.  Mrs. 
Ball  was  cut.  bruised,  and  l^cald€-d.  and  subyequently 
died.  Mrs.  Pentelow  was  taken  out  with  the  pil^ 
pole  alive,  but  scalded  and  bruiged  about  the  head, 
arms,  and  chest.  Mr.  Pentelow  ,was  i^calded  in  the 
back  of  the  neck  and  legs.  Brenati's  head,  chest, 
and  handti  ^-ere  badly  scalded.  The  rciit  are  no> 
dangerously  hurt." 

AVENGING  HERSELF  ON  THE  CHURCH.^ 
The  Colombus  (Ga. )  £'«^i>er  printa  this  state- 
ment: "A  n^TO  woman  who  was  a  member  of  the 
choir  of  fbe  Ijocoat  Hill  Church,  which  is  situated  in 
Musoogee  County,  near  the  line  of  Harris,  wna  re- 
qnested  not  to  sing  with  the  choir.  She  got  mad 
with  the  church,  and  told  them  that  if  she  couldn't 
sing  no  one  elae  should,  and  Moudiiy  the  church  was 
burned  down.  She  was  arrested,  mid  confessed  set- 
ting the  house  on  fire.  Locust  Hill  was  probably  the 
beet  finished  house  the  negroes  have  in  this  secLiuv 
and  the  woman  deserves  severe  punishment."

Mr.  JoHX  Kelly  isquot^d  by  the  World 
■  as  authority  tor  a  statement  in  regard  to  the 
City  debt.  VTe  absolve  Mr.  Kelly  from  any 
personal  knowledge  of  the  merits  of  this  ex- 
hibit, since  it  may  be  fairly  doubted 
■whether  he  could,  if  he  tried,  correct  the 
footiugs  of  the  •  table  of  figures  given 
to  the  reporter.  Mr.  Kellt  was  found 
by  the  repjorter  engaged,  "as  usual, ""  in 
signing  warrants,  and  XTe  suspect  that  his 
nseftduess  as  Controller  begins  and  ends 
there.  The  main  purport  of  the  statement 
_■  issued  in  his  name  is  to  prove  that  during 
the  last  seven  months  the  funded  debt  has 

^  incrt^ased-only  $316,54:9,  but  as  a  portion 
of.  the  taxes  has  been  applied  to  the  ex- 
tiuetion.of  $711,30-i  of  old  debt,  it  is 
obvious  that  we  have  been  contracting  new 
debt  at  the  rate  of  more  than  if.lb(),000  a. 
month.  We  do  not  find  in  the  statement 
any  reference  to  the  so-called  "  temporary" 
debt  issued  in  the  form  of  assessn^nt  bonds, 
nor  is  there  any  attempt  made  to  dissipate 
the  prevalent  suspicion  that  claims 
and  judgments  against  the  City  have 
atteorbed  a  good  deal  more  than  the 
ajnouut  appropriated  to  meet  them. 
tAs,  for  reasons  best  known  to  himself,  Mr. 
Kelly  has  ceased  to  make  public  the 
iponthly  statements  in  regard  to  debt  and 
expenditures  which  were  begun  by  Con- 
troller Greek,  he  need  hardly  complain  if 
people  get  it  into  their  heads  that   ho  has  a 

j_,  personal  interest  in  returning  to  the  old 
■  Byst«m  of  financial  mystification  so  success- 
fully practiced  .  under  his  quondam  friend, 
CccrsoLLY. 


/  Of  course,  the  increase  of  the  City  debt  is 
*ccoimted  for  by  the  rather  stale  excuse  of 
••  legislative  interference."  It  would  puzzle 
either  Mr.  Ket.ly  or  the  World  to  show  how 
laws  which  authorize  the  issue  of  new 
tonds  can  be  removed  from  the  statute 
book  unless  by  the  aid  of  the  Legislature, 
and  since  it  rests  with  the  Board 
of  Apportionment,  (simply  another  name 
forKiiLLY-,)  to  say  when  any  of  the  bonds 
so  authorized  shall  be  issued,  it  is  not  very 
easy  to  see  how  the  present  financial  admin- 
istration can ;  escape  the  responsibility  for 
the  increase-  of  the  debt.  It  happens, 
moreover,  that  the  legislative  action 
taken  last  Winter  to  check,  once 
and  for  all,  the  increase  of  the  City 
debt,  and  to  provide  means  for  its 
gradual  extinction,  was  nullified  by  the  ve- 
toes of  Gov.  Robinson,  which  were  given 
at  the  '  instance  of  John  Kelly.  For  in- 
stance, taking  Mr.  Kelly's  own  statement 
of  the  net  increase  of  the  funded  debt, 
three-fourths  of  that  amount  is  accounted 
for  by  the  issue  of  bonds  for  the  use 
of  the  Dock  Department.  The  law 
under  which  that  issue  is  made 
■would  have  been  repealed  but  for  the  inter- 
ference of  EoBCJSOJi  and  Kelly,  and  the 
volume- of  current  expenses  would  also  have 
been  so  out  down  as  to  reduce  considerably 
below  $15,000,000  the  amount  of  revenue 
bonds  needed  in  seven  months.  But  then, 
we  should  have  missed,  among  other  things, 
the  Inxury  of  a  Commissioner  of  Jurors  at 
$15,000  a  year. 


Jlie  Stoats  Zeitung  gives  in  an  article, 
reproduced  in  another  colunm,  some  very 
aigmficatit  indications  of  the  course  of  the 
majority  of  6«iman  Democrats  in  the  Fall 
campttign.  thai  paper  has  an  undoubted 
olaim  to  WMweat  the  »entiiaenta  of  ilui 


24,000  voters  who,  tmder  the  most 
hopeless  cinnimstanoes,  supported  Mr. 
Ottendoeper  for  Mayor  in  187-4. 
When  it  assumes  the  position,  therefore, 
that  the  candidates  of  Tammany  Hall, 
no  matter  of  what  character,  must  be 
opposed,  and  when  it  gives  very  excellent 
reasons  for  that  attitude,  it  must  be  held  to 
speak  for  the  element  which  holds  the  bad- 
ance  of  power  in  this  City,  and  to  fore- 
shadow a  course  of  action  which 
only  needs  the  hearty  co-operation  of 
Republicans  to  render  certain  the  defeat 
of  the  nominees  of  Kellt.  In  addition  to 
the  general  reason  that  any  candidate  elect- 
ed by  Tammany  Hall  must  be  prepared  to 
do  it-s  bidding,  there  is  a  specific  rea- 
son for  voting  against  all  its  nomi- 
nees in  the  position  taken  by  Gov. 
BoBrssoN  that  Tammany  represents  the 
majority  of  the  voters  of  New- York,  and  that 
no  legislation  ought  to  pass  of  which  it  does 
not  approve.  The  disproof  of  that  pre- 
posterous assumption  will,  at  least,  compel 
the  Governor  to  seek  some  other  reason  to 
excuse  his  political  subserviency  to  Kellt. 


It  appears  that  the  Samoan  Government 
has  made  formal  application  to  the  Uni  ted 
States  and  to  Great  Britain  for  pi'oteotion 
and  assistance  in  maintaining  the  peace  and 
independence  of  the  island  Kingdom.  Ex- 
actly what  now  constitutes  the  Government 
of  Samoa  it  would  be  difficult  to  say.  Du- 
ring Steinberqer's  brief  career,  h/Nn- 
vented  and  set  up  a  patent  reversible/form 
of  Government  which  could  be  ohimgj 
from  a  monarchy  to  a  republic,  or  froirf  a 
republio  to  a  kingdom,  "  at  the  pleasure 
of  the  wearer."  Since  his  downfall, 
things  have  probably  returned  to  their 
aboriginal  lawlessness,  the  strongest  man 
being  on  top.  It  would  be  an  interesting 
state  of  things  if  the  Governments  whose 
protection  is  invoked  should  both  agree  to 
play  the  part  of  protector.  Up  to  this  date, 
however,  the  independence  of  Samoa  has 
not  been  seriously  threatened  by  anybody. 
And  the  peace  of  the  kingdom  depends  on 
the  people,  who,  unless  they  have  been 
spoiled  by  their  brief  spasm  of  civilization, 
are  peaceful  enough  so  long  as  they  are  not 
compelled  to  wear  clothes  and  work  for  their 
living.  . 

The  President  has  issued  a  proclamation 
forbidding,  under  heavy  penalties,  the  sale 
of  arms  and  ammunition  to  Indians  within 
the  limits  of  the  United  States.  It  is 
strange  that  such  an  order  should  be  neces- 
sary, and,  especially,  that  it  should  be  pro- 
voked by  the  conduct  of  the  men  who  are 
continually  complaining  of  the  aggressions 
of  Indians.  But  the  cupidity  of  fron- 
tier traders  overcomes  their  discretion, 
and  it  is  a  notorious  fact  that  they  will  sell 
powder,  shot,  and  weapons  to  Indians  with 
the  same  secrecy  and  defiance  of  law  witli 
which  they  sell  them  whisky.  President 
Grant  was  obliged  to  issue  a.  similar  proc- 
lamation of  warning,  and  this  latest  mes-sage 
is  made  necessary  by  the  discovery  that 
United  States  troops  in  the  North-west  are 
fighting  Indians  armed  by  mercenary  white

TUB  WORST  FOES  OF  LABOR. 

The  working  man,  after  faring  badly  in 
an  unequal  contest  with  incorporated  capital, 
is  now  in  danger  of  suffering  from  the  selfish 
zeal  of  demagogues  and  party  managers. 
He  has  been  neglected  ;  he  is  no'^y  to  be 
patronized  and  petted.  He  has  endured  a 
much  harder  struggle  with  depression  and 
poverty  than  persons  not  brought  into 
contact  with  him  have  dreamed  of ; 
he  is  now  encouraged  to  hope  for  Govern- 
mental help,  and  the  attainment  of  a  condi- 
tion which  socialism  and  communism  have 
promised  as  the  result  o£  their  success. 
The  transition  is  not  difficult  of  explanation. 
The  recent  strikes,  with  all  their  folly, 
brutality,  and  crime,  served  one  whole- 
some piurpose.  They  directed  atten- 
tion to  the  condition  of  large  masses 
of  labor  after  a  period  of  unexampled 
business  embarrassment  and  disaster.  The 
losses  and  anxieties  of  employers  of  labor, 
everybody  knew.  The  world  had  wit- 
nessed, moreover,  the  effect  of  the  trial 
upon  the  great  corporations,  railroad  and 
industrial,  on  whose  prosperous  activity 
enormous  numbers  depend.  How  the 
latter  endured  the  ordeal,  and  in  what  state 
it  left  them,  few  of  us  understood  with 
anything  like  precision.  The  preva- 
lence of  destitution  in  the  large 
cities  was  a  fact  that  could  not  be 
ignored.  The  condition  of  workmen  in 
more  remote  districts — along  the  lines  of 
trunk  railroads,  in  the  black  neighborhoods 
of  coal  mines  and  iron  works,  wherever 
large  bodies  had  been  congregated  imder 
the  influence  of  a  factitious  prosperity — was 
to  most  of  us  as  a  sealed  book.  Whatever 
else  the  disturbances  have  done,  at  least 
they  have  opened  the  eyes  of  the 
American  people  j  to  the  order  of 
things  which  has  I  grown  up  among  them 
so  gradually  as  to  be  unobserved.  The 
boastful  contrast  between  the  New  World 
and  the  Old  is  found  to  be  no  longer  possi- 
ble. Beneath  the  vicious  elements  which 
produced  the  riots  and  retained  the  ascend- 
ency while  resistance  to  lawful  authority 
lasted,  the  country  traces  evidence  of  hard- 
ship, of  suffering,  of  destitution  to  jin  ex- 
tent for  which  it  was  unprepared.  No  one 
needed  to  be  told  that  capital  emerges  from 
the  panic  and  the  consequent  strain  im- 
paired, burdened,  timid,  and  distrustful.- 
The  reports  that  come  from  the  Pennsyl- 
vania coal  region  as  to  the  condition!  of 
labor,  like  the  reports  that  had  come  previ- 
ously from  some  forms  of  labor  on  the  Balti- 
more and  Ohio  and,  the  Pennsylvania  Rail- 
roads, are,  however,  little  short  of  a  revela- 
tion. 

Party  managers  and  demagogues  gener- 
ally are  quick  to  turn  the  discovery  to  ac- 
count. The  striker^  and  rioters  have  votes. 
These  wretched  miners  in  and  about  Scran- 
ton  have  voices  in  the  choice  of  rulers  of 
the  land.  And  all  of  them  have  symaa- 
thizers  more  or  less  ardent  in  the  mines  d.nd 
at  the  furnaces,  ia  large  factories,  snd 
wherever  the  railroad  system  extends.  1 1  a 
democracy  these  forces  are  too  potent  to 
remain  long  neglected.  Politicians  disc*  srn 
in  them  the  means  of  controlling  an  eleeti  }n. 
How  the  discovery  operates  we  have  seer  in 
Ohio.  Democratic  leaders  fan  the  flames  of 
insurrection  by  ascribing  to  the  Federal 
Government,  as  adininistered  by  their  jp- 
ponents,  direct  responsibility  for  the  pros- 
tration and  distress  which  have  overtaken 
employers  and  employed.  The  ill-pkid 
w<»kmeii  and  their  starvin^^  families  are 
told  br  tb«  authon  |>f  the  Democratic  vl  at- 


^1 


form  that  their  misery  is  politioal  in  its 
origin,  and  may  be  cured  by  the  accession 
of  the  Democratic  Party  to  power.  More 
mischievous  dema^gism  cannot  be  easily 
conceived.  Had  the  Ohio  Bepnbli- 
caus  contented  themselves  with  put- 
ting on  record  their  co&viction  that 
corporate  authority  needs  to  be  limit- 
ed and  looked  after,  and  that  the  labor 
problem  must  henceforward  occupy  some  of 
the  space  at  present  devoted  to  ordinary 
partisan  topics,  their  proposition  would 
have  stood  in  creditable  contrast  to  the 
lying  declarations  of  the  Democrats.  But 
Judge  West,  the  Republican  candidate  for 
the  Governorship,  has  done  his  utmost  to 
obliterate  the  distinction.  Certainly,  noth- 
ing very  wise  could  be  expected 
from'  a  man  who  sums  up  his  financial 
philosophy  in  the  saying,  "  No  contraction, 
no  expajision,  no  depreciation,  is  my 
motto."  He  who  is  capable  of  bo  much 
nonsense  might  well  be  supposed  to  be 
capable  of  any  absurdity.  We  cannot  af- 
fect surprise,  then,  that  at  a  later  stage, 
referring  to  the  resolution  of  the  conven- 
tion and  the  general  relations  of  capital 
and  labor,  the  Republican  nominee 
launched  into  a  communistic  tirade 
that  must  have  delighted  any  member 
of  the  International  Federation  of  La- 
bor i  who  happened  to  hear  it.  From 
an  avowed  anarchist  such  sentiments  would 
have  been  natural  enough.  From  the  nomi- 
nee of  a  great  party — and  that  the  party  of 
conservatism  and  order— they  are  incom- 
prehensible. Judge  West  may  honestly 
old  them  or  he  may  not.  If  he  does,  the 
is  how  he  obtained  the  nomination. 
If  he  simply  yielded  to  the  temptation  of 
the  moment,  and  pandered  to  the  ignorance 
and  prejudices  of  the  working  men  among 
his  audience,  his  recklessness  proves  how 
dangerous  the  question  of  labor  may  become 
under  the  manipulation  of  foolish  or  tin- 
principled  politicians. 

With  the  representatives  of  both  parties 
thus  intent  upon  using  for  base  purposes 
the  unhappy  condition  to  which  many 
branches  of  labor  are  reduced,  what  more 
natural  than  that  the  demagogues  and  in- 
cendiaries who  are  more  nearly  allied  to  the 
labor  organizations  should  once  -more  como 
to  the  surface  f  The  New-Yorker,  McDon- 
nell, preaching  to  the  workmen  and  loafers 
and  ruffians  of  Baltimore  the  unadulter- 
ated gospel  of  communism,  ought  not 
to  'excite  astonishment  after  the  Ohio 
display  of  Judge  West.  There  can 
be  no  halting-place  between  right  and 
wrohg,  between  lawlessness  and  authority, 
between  the  peace  of  well-organized  society 
and  the  anarchy  of  the  Commune.  And 
when  a  man  holding  Judge  We.st's  position, 
for  the  sake  of  obtaining  votes,  assails  the 
principles  which  imderlie  the  natural  rela- 
tions of  capital  and  labor,  the  appearance 
of  men  of  the  style  of  Mr.  McDonxell  on 
the  [scene  follows  as  a  matter  of  course. 
Their  mission  is  to  drive  home  the  logic  of 
Judge  West,  and  to  carry  out  folly 
the  disorganizing  doctrines  to  which 
he  ■  gave  imperfect  utterance.  We 
shall  yet  hear  much  more  of  and 
from  them.  Events  have  rendered  promi- 
nent a  series  of  questions  which  have 
hitherto  been  excluded  from  practical  poli- 
tics.] The  obligations  of  corporations,  the 
restraints  that  may  be  put  upon  them,  the 
guarantees  of  somid  and  honest  manage- 
ment that  may  be  exacted  from  them — form 
somi;  of  these  questions,  and  those,  perhaps, 
which  more  than  any  other  involve  the 
l^armoriy  and  well-being  of  interests 
which  are  really  identical,  but  are 
for  the  time  divided.  If  any  progress 
is  to  be  made  with  questions  of  this 
character,  it  ia  evident  that  they  must  be 
kept  out  of  the  arena  of  partisanship,  and 
must  t>e  investigated  in  a  spirit  very  different 
from  that  ivhich  is  cultivated  by  the  dema- 
gogues. They  are  not  likely  to  allow  the 
present  opportunity  to  pass  imimproved. 
But  if  ever  the  condition  of  labor  is  to  be 
bettered,  it  must  realize  the  fact  that  it  has 
less  to  fear  from  the  encroachments  of  cap- 
italists than  from  the  wiles  and  delusions  of 
sUly  and  dishonest  men. 


QUALIFICATIOSS  OF  CO^'SVLS. 

The  primary  purpose  in  the  appointment 
of  Consuls  to  reside  in  foreign  ports  was  to 
aid  and  facilitate  Americans  engaged  in 
commercial  pursuits.  This  object,  by  the 
way,  should  not  be  defeated  and  commerce 
be  overburdened  by  oppressive  consular 
fees  on  tonnage  or  for  debenture,  triplicate, 
and  other  lauding  or  invoice  certificates. 
Coniiular  agents  can  assist  merchants  and 
promote  commerce  chiefly  in  two  ways: 
First,  they  can  collect  and  put  into  the  pos- 
session of  merchants,  not  only  annually  or 
quai^terly,  but  monthly,  commercial  informa- 
tion pertaining  to  the  course  of  trade  and 
commercial  regulations  jn  the  countries 
where  such  Consuls  reside.  This  oflieial  in- 
formation should  be  published  immediately 
upon  its  receipt  by  the  State  Department, 
and  not  kept  from  the  public  until  it  has 
become  stale  and  worthless,  an(J  then  buried 
in  ponderous  volumes,  as  has  been  the 
custom  of  the  Government  heretofore. 
These  monthly  or  weekly  consular  reports 
from  all  parts  of  the  world  should  be  made 
accessible  to  merchants,  and  should  embrace 
not  only  all  the  statistics  of  trade  which 
the  authorities  of  each  foreign  country  have 
collected,  but  notifications  of  all  changes  in 
duties,  port  charges,  and  regulations.  Thfc 
closing  of  old  channels  of  commerce  aim 
the  openiiig  of  new  branches  of  industry 
and  trade  are  matters  about  which  every 
intelligent  Consul  should  inform  not  only 
the  Secretary  of  State,  but,  through  him, 
the  people  of  the  United  States. 

Another  way  in  which  a  qualified  Consul 
can  assist  his  eountrymen  engaged  in  foreign 
commerce  is  in  serving  as  the  channel  of 
communication  between  American  masters 
of  ships  or  merchants  and  the  authorities 
of  the  coimtries  or  ports  with  which  they 
propose  to  trade.  Foreign  of&eials  are 
far  less  accessible  than  our  own.  The 
people  of  all  countries  are  more  suspi- 
cious of  strangers  than  our  own  people.  A 
private  citizen  of  the  United  States  in  a 
foreign  port  gets  no  favors  or  courtesies 

Let  a 
asked 

for  by  a  Consul  or  other  officer  of  the  Unit- 
ed States,  especially  if  such  official  enjoys 
social  relations  with  the  authorities  of  a  for- 
eign port,  and  almost  any  concession  will 
be  granted  not  clearly  contrary  to  local  law. 
TBe  I  importance  of  this  point  is  imderrated 
by  the  inexperienced.  Competent  Consuls 
can  largely  relieve  commerce  of  local  bur- 
ieaai  and  restrictions,  if  their  influence  is 


when  a  petitioner  in  his  own  behalf, 
relaxation  of  regulations  or  rules   be 


what  it  is  possible  for  it  to  be.  In  most 
foreign  aonntries  an  exaggerated  importance 
is  attached  to  official  station.  A  Consul 
ranks  between  a  Colonel  and  Lientenant- 
Colonel  at  the  French  court,  and  such 
q^cer  may  everywhere  enjoy  social  stand- 
ing unless  his  manners  or  character  pre- 
vent it.  As  business  is  made  secondary  to 
society  in  other  countries,  the  Consul  who 
has  the  largest  social  influence  has  the 
largest  business  influence. 

And  this  brings  us  to  the  essential  ele- 
ments of  fitness.  The  Consul  must  have 
commercial  knowledge  and  consular  expe; 
rience  to  perform  efficiently  one  branch  of 
his  duties.  He  must  have  standing  and 
social  consideration  in  the  community  where 
he  lives,  in  order  to  exercise  over  the  local 
authorities,  in  behalf  of  his  countrjmien, 
the  influence  that  will  most  promote  their 
interests.  What  qualities  or  elements  of 
character  give  this  measure  of  merit  which 
we  call-  inflnence  f  They  are  the  same 
the  world  over.  A  cultivated  mind  and 
cultivated  manners,  the  outward  bearing 
of  a  gentleman,  and  an  inner  life  of  honor 
and  morality  ;  in  short,  solid  abilities  and 
solid  worth  bring  enduring  influence  and 
consideration  in  public  station.  A  knowl- 
edge of  the  language  of  the  country  where 
a  Consul  resides  is  important.  He  should 
atleast  pay  the  people  with  whom  he  lives 
the  compliment  of  striving  to  acquire  their 
language  with  all  the  energy  he  can  com- 
mand. French  should,  of  course,  be  mas- 
tered by  &QJ  who  aspire  to  a  consular  or 
diplomatic  career.  The  difficulty  has  been 
that  our  foreign  representatives  have  not 
often  spoken  correctly  one  language.  It  is 
doubtful  if  one  American  Consul  in  ten  can 
accurately  speak  or  write  the  English  lan- 
guage. Speaking  the  English  tongue  with 
accuracy  is  not  an  American  accomplish- 
ment, j  It  shouldfirst  be  ascertained  whether 
applicants  for  Consulships  speak  their  own 
language  before  they,  are  required  to  con- 
verse in  Chinese,  Modem  Greek,  or  Ja- 
panese. Oiu"  scholarly  Secretary  of  State 
could  probably  learn  in  a  half-hour's  con- 
versation with  those  ambitious  to  represent 
us  abroad  whether  or  not  they  would  do  us 
discredit  by  daily  murdering  their  mother 
tongue,  and  whether  they  possessed  the  in- 
telligence and  the  manners  of  gentlemen. 
This  kind  of  civil  service  examination, 
by  which  attainments  and  accomplishments, 
social  and  intellectual,  are  made  known  and 
a  knowledge  of  business  and  of  the  world  is 
tested,  is  the-kind  that  will  best  determine 
the  qualifications  of  Consuls.  They,  like 
our  Envoys  and  Ministers,  the  officers, in  our 
Navy  and  the  masters  of  our  merchant 
ships,  are  representatives,  in  every  sense,  of 
their  country  abroad.  As  they  cannot  di- 
vest themselves  of  this  general  representa- 
tive character,  care  should  be  taken  that  all 
classes  of  our  foreign  agents  should  truly 
represent  our  business  intelligence,  enter- 
prise, and  activity,  our  learning  and  culture, 
and  whatever  is  most  refined  and  elevated  in 
thesocial  side  of  our  American  life. 


TWO  GOVERNORS. 

It  is  a  matter  of  no  special  consequence 
whether  Gov.  Bedle,  of  New-Jersey,  does 
or  does  not  approve  of  the  interference  of 
United  States  troops  in  the  domestic  broils 
of  indi\'idual  States.  This  particular  phase 
of  a  loiig-agitated  question  has  been  made 
promintint  by  the  use  of  soldiers  in  the 
Southei  n  States.  As  the  Governor  of  New- 
Jersey  is  a  Democrat,  we  might  safely  as- 
sume til  at,  like  Gov.  Williams,  of  Indiana, 
ho  thinls  that  the  use  of  the  military  in  the 
South  has  not  only  been  oppressive  to  the 
Democratic  Party,  for  the  time  being, 
but  ha  I  also  been  subversive  of  various 
"  dearlj-bought  rights."  But  the  attitude  of 
these  t  vo  Governors,  under  more  recent 
and  trying  circnmstances,  is  worth  a  mo- 
ment's consideration.  Gov.  Bedle  is  the 
chief  ececutive  officer  of  a  State  which  is 
covered  with  a  net-work  of  railroads. 
Strikes  were  made  on  some  of  the  lines,  and 
were  tlreatened  on  others.  The  malcon- 
tents were  in  easy  communication  with  each 
other,  a  ad  an  hour  might  have  witnessed  an 
overturning  of  constituted  authority  which 
would  h  ive  plunged  the  little  State  of  New- 
Jersey  into  hopeless  anarchy.  New-York, 
with  its  throngs  of  roughs  and  "  commun- 
ists,"' WHS  near  at  hand,  and  the  danger  of  a 
destructive  riot  was  very  great.  The 
Governtr  seamed  determined  to  quell 
or  prevf  nt  the!  disturbance  with  the  force 
which  the  Statlci  Constitution  had  given  him. 
He  might  hav^  sent  off  a  piteous  telegram 
asking  lie  citizens  of  Hoboken  and  Eliz- 
abeth to  rally  jfor  the  defense  of  property. 
Or  he  m  Ight  have  invoked  the  aid  of  the 
Army  ol  the  United  States.  He  did  nothing 
of  the  sort.  But  he  called  out  the  State 
Militia,  md  before  the  riot  was  fairly  ready 
to  show  itself, Jit  was  fully  understood  that 
every  gi  n  beloinging  to  the  State  would  be 
brought  to  bearjupon  the  disturbers  of  the 
peace.  The  United  States  Government  was 
not  harissed.  :  No  weak  attempt  to  put 
do'wn  a  i  nob  by  'fviudy  resolutions  was  made. 
There  w  as  no  riot,  and  no  bill  of  damages. 
The  danger  oyer, .the  Militia  returned  to 
their  pluces  as  citizens,  and  the  doughty 
Governo  r  wentj  im  with  his  daily  dip  in  the 
Long  Branch  surf. 

James  D.  WtlLlAMS,  of  Indiana,  on  the 
other  ha  id,  though  no  more  nor  less  a  Demo- 
crat thai  Gov.!  Bedle,  pursued  a  different 
course.  Wheifj  the  trouble  began  at  Fort 
Wayne  be  dallied  with  whimsical  notions 
about  a  jitizens'  vigilance  committee.  The 
Mayor  o :  the  city  telegraphed  to  him,  and 
so  did  tie  railway  managers.  The  railway 
propert)  was  seized  and  held  by  armed 
rioters,  in  i  defiance  of  law  and 
authority.  Sheriff,  Mayor,  and  eon- 
stables  were  powerless  before  the  mob. 
Gov.  WiLLi.4.MS,|soon  at  his  wits'  end,  ap- 
parently wanted. ,to  know  if  the  huge,  dis- 
orderly, lawless  army  ^-rioters  could  not  be 
taken  core  of  by  a  committee.  But  such  a 
process  seemed  incapable  of  execution  at 
Fort  'SVajme.  '  Gov.  Willlajis,  like  all 
weai  men,  'iras  ready  to  abdicate 
his  own  pow6i  S  before  using  them.  So 
he  rushe  d  to  th<  National  Government  for 
aid.  M  a  Deii  ooratic  demagogue,  he  had 
denotmced  th^  |iise  of  United  States  troops 
in !  State  affairs  as  a  ustirpation.  "When  he 
wds  pla;'ing  halilequin  in  Congress,  habited 
in  ^  suit  of  nati  re  blue  jeans,  he  was  loud- 
mouthec .  in  his.  <  ipposition  to  the  Army.  He 
wanted  :t  reduced  to  ten  thousand  men  or 
less,  anc  he  declared  that  its  employment 
in  I  the  :  lettlemt  nt  of  domestic  broils  was 
subversive  ofljliumau  liberty,  tyrannical, 
and  nne  )natitimonal.    With  manifest  trepi- 


dation. 


,  Ukelj 


dog- out.    l^i 


the 
now 


darky 
vowed 


adrift       in 
that   some- 


thing had  to  be  done.  So,  to 
avoid  "  going  back  on  his  record,"  as  these 
small  politicians  put  it,  he  asked  the  Secre- 
tary of  War  to  help  him.  liike  a  sneak,  as 
he  is,  this  piiissant  Governor  avoided  the 
formal  declaration  that  he  had  not  sufficient 
force  to  put  down  the  rebellion ;  he  would 
not  comply  with  the  terms  which  the  law 
prescribes  in  such  eases.  But  he  went 
around  to  the  back  door,  so  to  speak,  and 
begged  that  the  Army  be  handed  out  to  him  in 
away  which  should  not  attract  the  attention 
of  his  constituents. 

Probably  by  this  time  the  good  people  of 
Indiana  have  learned  that  a  suit  of  blue 
jeans  cannot  govern  a  State.  When  this 
person  was  Democratic  candidate  for 
Governor,  we  took  occasion  to  say  that  his 
clothes  were  all  that  he  had  in  the  canvass. 
The  Democratic  managers  did  not  allow 
Williams  to  make  any  speeches.  On  one 
memorable  occasion  he  did  break  loose  from 
his  keepers,  and  the  destruction  which  was 
thereupon  visited  on  the  English  lan- 
guage and  the  plans  of  his  party 
was  great.  For  the  rest  of  the 
time  he  was  securely  muzzled;  and 
placed  on  exhibition  is  blue  jeans,  speech- 
less, he  was  reckoned  a  great  political  card. 
Whenever  he  appeared  in  his  character  as 
"  a  man  of  the  people,"  "a  son  of  the  soil," 
rude,  rough,  but  honest  and  able,  the  ap- 
plause was  tremendous.  The  people  of  In- 
diana elected  the  blue  jeans  to  office.  We 
hope  they  like  the  clothes  as  Governor. 
They  have  certainly  got  nothing  else. 


THE  CZARS  DILEMMA. 
Since  the  Seven  Years'  War  destroyed  her 
prestige  as  the  leading  State  of  Centi-al 
Europe,  114  years  ago,  Austria's  normal 
position  has  been  that  of  a  drag.  .  In  1812 
the  fear  of  offending  her  compelled  Napo- 
leon .to  guarantee  the  Kaiser  his  Polish 
provinces,  and  thus  relinquish  his  darling 
scheme  of  planting  a  new  Kingdom  of 
Poland  as  a  thorn  in  the  side  of  Russia. 
In  1853  her  doubtful  attitude  wrecked  the 
Russian  invasion  of  the  Prinoipalities ;  and 
now,  at  a  time  when  she  may  be  said  to  hold 
the  casting  vote  of  Europe,  her  attitude  is 
the  same  as  ever — 

"  Willing  to  wound,  and  yet  afraid  to  strike." 

yet  doing  by  her  very  indecision  almost  as 
much  harm  as  she  could  inflict  by  open 
hostility. 

It  is  said  that  the  Czar  has  asked  the  consent 
of  the  Austrian  Government  to  the  passage  of 
the  Russian  troops  through  Servian  territory, 
in  order  to  fall  upon  the  flank  of  the  Turkish 
Army  in  Bulgaria.  Servia  will  undoubtedly 
demand  the  recognition  of  her  independence 
in  return,  and  Austria  has  already  hinted 
that  she  will  make  no  objection,  the  Princi- 
pality being  virtually  independent  already. 
But  after  Servia,  Bulgaria  will  ineffably 
come  forward  with  the  same  request,  and 
this  is  a  much  more  serious  matter.  It  has  al- 
ready transpired  that  this  is  the  one  innova- 
tion which  .^iustria  cannot  and  will  not  per- 
mit, and  the  Czar  is  thus  placed  in  the 
dilemma  of  quarreling  with  her  by  compli- 
ance, or  offending  the  whole  Slavonian  world 
by  a  refusal. 

Nor  is  this  all.  Bulgaria's  demand,  if 
made,  wiU  undoubtedly  be  supported  by 
Gen.  Ignatieff  and  the  "whole  strength  of 
the  "  extreme  "  Russian  Party,  the  influence 
of  which  is  increasing  in  proportion  to  the 
deepening  ferocity  of  the  war.  Prince 
GoETsciL.\KOFF  and  the  advocates  of  mod- 
erate measures  express  their  willingness  to 
rest  satisfied  with  the  attainment  of  the 
object  for  which  the  war  was  ostensibly 
commenced,  viz.,  the  assurance  of  safety 
and  freedom  to  the  Christian  subjects  of 
the  Sultan.  The  more  violent  party,  on  the 
other  hand,  will,  by  their  own  admission,  be 
content  with  nothing  less  than  the  giving 
up  of  the  Turkish  fleet,  the  cession  of  Kars, 
Batoum,  and  Trebizond,  the  opening  or 
closing  of  the  Dardanelles  to  all  nations 
alike,  and  the  recognition  as  independent 
States  of  Roumania.  Servia,  Bosnia,  Bul- 
garia, and  Herzegovina.  It  will  be  re- 
marked that  this  programme,  like  the  secret 
compact  at  Tilsit  in  1S07  between  Napo- 
leon and  Alexander  I.,  leaves  Roumelia 
and  Constantinople  still  in  the  possession  of 
their  present  masters.  Such  an  arrange- 
ment is  evidently  intended  as  a  checkmate 
to  the  possible  intervention  of  the  Western 
powers ;  for,  with  the  Sultan  still  at  Con- 
stantinople, and  Roumelia,  t.  e.,  Turkey 
proper,  still  attached  to  it,  Russia  may 
argue,  \vith  some  show  of  reason,  that  what 
she  has  done  is  not  to  crush  the  Turk,  but 
only  to  liberate  the  Christian.  Whether 
this  Slaehiavelian  policy  will  be  finally 
successful  remains  to  be  seen. 


MISS  JOHNSON'S  FLAN. 

One  of  the  most  striking  eharacteiistics 
of  woman  is  her  cheerfiU  perseverance  in 
looking  under  the  bed  for  a  man.  No  man 
in  his  senses  evei*  looks  under  the  bed  for  a 
woman,  but  there  are  millions  of  women  in 
this  country  who  would  find  it  qviite  impos- 
sible to  sleep  in  any  bed  under  which  they 
had  not  previously  searched  for  a  concealed 
man.  Experience  is  lost  upon  them.  The 
average  uimiarried  woman  of  40  yeai-s  of 
age  has  usually  looked  under  the  bed  at 
least  7,500  times,  without  ever  once  findmg 
the  expected  man,  but  she  is  not  in  the 
least  discouraged  by  so  long  a  course  of 
failure  ;  and  it  would  be  easv  to  find  women 
of  SO  or  90  yeai-s  who  still  nightly  search 
for  the  man  whom  they  have  never  found. 

Miss  Johnson,  of  Evanston,  will  here- 
after be  famous  as  a  woman  whose  long 
perseverance  has  been  signally  rewarded. 
It  would  be  indelicate  to  inquire  into  her 
precise  age,  had  she  not  described  herself 
in  a  recent  affidavit  as  having  been  born  in 
the  year  1834,  and  we  may  therefore  take 
it  for  granted  that  she  is  at  least  43  years 
old.  If  we  assume  that  she  began,  to  look 
mider  the  bed  at  the  age  of  15,  it  follows 
that  she  has  performed  that  ceremony  more 
than  10,000  times.  Until  last  Friday 
night  she  never  found  the  .smallest  frag- 
ment of  a  man  under  her  bed,  but  on  that 
eventful  night  her  perseverance  was  re- 
warded, and  the  long-sought  man  greeted 
her  astonished  gaze. 

Miss  Johnson  being  an  immarried  lady, 
not  wholly  unconnected  with  the  milliners 
trade,  and  full  of  womanly  independence, 
resides  entirely  alone  in  a  small  house  con- 
taining but  three  rooms — a  kitchen,  shop, 
and  bed-room.  Dogs  she  despises  and  eats 
she  mistrusts,  while  as  for  men,  she  regards 
them  as  poor  creatures  who  may  possibly 
have  their  uses  in  time  of  drought,  when 
water  must  be  carted  from  the  creek,  but 
who,  as  a  rule,  make  more  trouble  about  a 
house  than  thalr  necks  are  worth.    Holding 


thoee  views,  it  natnally  follows  that  Miss 
Johnson  lives  alone,  and  the  cool  bravery 
with  which  she  locks  np  her  house  at  night 
and  seeks  her  solitary  couch,  no  matter  if  a 
first-class  thunder-storm  is  in  progress,  has 
for  years  been  the  admiration  of  the  more 
timid  of  her  sex. 

It  was  about  11  orcloek  last  Friday  night 
when  Mrs.  Johnson  stooped  down  and  looked 
under  her  bed  for  a  possible  man,  precisely  as 
she  had  done  on  ten  thonsand  previous  nights. 
Whether  she  was  or  was  not  astonished  at 
perceiving  a  large-sized  man  lying  under 
the  bed  with  the  back'  of  his  head  toward 
her,  will  never  be  known,  but,  at  any  rate, 
she  gave  no  sign  of  astonishment,  and  did 
not  even  inform  the  man  that  she  saw  him. 
On  the  contrary,  she  resumed  with  great 
deliberation  the  nocturnal  twisting  of  her 
back  hair,  and  even  softly  hummed  "  Hold 
the  Fort,"  with  as  much  distinctness  as 
could  be  expected  of  a  woman  while  holding 
a  comb  between  her  .teeth.  Her  back  hair 
being  finally  finished,  she  opened  her  win- 
dow, turned  down  the  lamp  until  it  gave 
forth  a  dim  and  modest  light,,  and  then 
stepped  gracefully  into  bed,  but  .not  to 
sleep. 

That  sagacious  woman  was  perfectly  well 
aware  that  the  man  under  the  bed,  not  stis- 
pecting  that  he  had  been  discovered,  would 
creep  forth  with  a  view  to  plunder  as  soon 
as  he  found  that  she  was  asleep.  The  bed- 
stead stood  in  the  comer  of  the  room,  and 
from  the  position  of  the  man  it  was  plain 
that  he  would  creep  out  at  the  side  of  tie 
bed.  Miss  Johnson,  therefore,  changed 
her  usual  manner  of  composing  herself  to 
rest,  and  lay,  as  she  subsequently  expressed 
it,  "  flat  as  a  pan-cake,"  with  her  head  pro- 
jecting over  the  side  of  the  bed  at  the  pre- 
cise locality  where  she  expected  the  man  to 
appear.  For  at  least  half  an  hour  she  lay 
perfectly  still,  watching  for  the  man  with 
a  stealthy  vigilance  that  wotdd  have  done 
credit  to  an  astute  and  experienced 
cat.  Not  a  muscle  'or  a  hairpin  of 
her  frame  moved,  and  her  breath- 
ing was  as  slow  and  regular  as 
that  of  a  profound  sleeper.  At  length  the 
man,  confident  that  she  was  asleep,  softly 
began  to  worm  himself  from  under  the  bed, 
moving  after  the  manner  prescribed  by  way 
of  penalty  to  the  original  serpent  of  the 
Garden  of  Eden.  Little  did  he  imagine  that 
a  pair  of  pitiless  gray  eyes  were  waiting  for 
the  appearance  of  his  head,  while  a  pair  of 
lithe  and  nervous  inlands  were  ready  to 
pounce  upon  his  efts.  It  was  not  many 
minutes,  however,  before  each  ear  was  sud- 
denly caught  in  an  inexorable  grasp,  and 
his  head  began  to  oscillate  with  remarkable 
speed  between  the  floor  and  the  edge  of  the 
bedstead. 

Vox  MoLTKE  himself  could  not  have  sur- 
passed Miss  Johnson's  tactics.  She  had 
the  man  completely  at  her  mercy,  and  he 
was  as  helpless  as  though  his  head  were  in 
the  stocks.  At  first  his  captor  maintained 
a  grim  silence,  but  after  she  had  bumped 
him  sufficiently  to  ease  her  mind,  she  ad- 
dressed him  upon  the  wickedness  and  folly 
of  seeking  to  rob  her.  In  vain  did  the  man 
protest  that  his  motives  were  innocent; 
that  he  had  mistaken  the  house,  and  had 
merely  intended  to  take  a  quiet  nap  under 
his  own  bedstead,  where  -the'  flies  could  not 
find  him.  Miss  Johnson  sternly  told  him  that 
he  could  not  make  her  believe  any  such 
nonsense,  and  that  she  would  "  let  him 
know,"  and  would  also  "show  him."  These 
throats  were  carried  out  by  a  renewal  of  the 
bumping  process,  until  the  man  yeUed  for 
mercy  so  loudly  that  the  neighbors  were 
aroused  and  rushed  to  Miss  Johnson's  house 
with  the  firm  conviction  that  a  gang  of 
burglars  had  murdered  that  excellent  wom- 
an, and  were  quarreling  over  the  division 
of  her  spoils.  It  was  not  until  a  strong 
force,  armed  with  clubs  and  hatchets,  had 
recklessly  entered  the  room  that  iMiss  John- 
son surrendered  her  captive,  with  the  re- 
mark that  the  sooner  they  took  themselves 
off  the  better,  and  that  if  any  other  man 
would  like  to  hide  under  her  bed,  she  was 
entirely  ready  to  knock  a  little  sense  into 
him. 

Thus  this  intrepid  woman  not  only  de- 
fended herself  with  the  most  signal  success, 
but  she  pointed  out  the  true  way  to  deal 
with  a  man  under  the  bed.  Most  women 
would  have  tried  to  poke  the  man  out  with 
a  broom,  at  the  same  time  requesting  him 
to  •'  shoo."  The  resiUt  would  have  been  to 
expose  themselves  to  an  attack  at  a  very 
great  disadvantage.  Miss  Johnson's  plan, 
on  the  contrary,  places  a  man  under  the  bed 
entirely  at  the  mercy  of  a  cool  and  courage- 
ous woman,  and  those  women  who  may  at 
any  time  hereafter  find  a  man  under  their 
respective  beds  will  do  weU  to  imitate  her 
example,  and  share  her  well-earned  glory.

THKOVGH    SERVIA — AUSTRIA    NOT  INDIS-

REVERSES. 

London,  Aug.  8. — An  occasional  con'es- 
^ndent  of  the  Times,  at  Vienna,  says  the  asser- 
tion is  imtrue  that  Russia  has  asked  Austria's 
permission  to  march  troops  through  Servia. 
It  is  far  more  probable  that  Ser- 
via will  spontaneously  take  the  field 
to  repay  Russia  for  past  services.  The  news 
h-om  Belgrade  does  not  admit  of  any 
loubt  that  every  measure  is  being  taken 
to  enable  the  Servians  to  be  on  the 
frontier       in        a        fortnight.  Apparently 

the  fact  of  I?ervias  taking  the  field  will  be  re- 
garded at  Vieiina  altogether  otherwise  than 
had  it  occurred  some  weeks  ago.  Count 
Audrassay  will  accord  Russia  beaten  many 
advantages  he  would  have  bad  to  refuse  Russia 
victorious.  At  most  he  will  occupv  Bosnia,  and 
thtis  bar  the  western  roads  to  the  Servians. 

The  Timns'  Belgrade  correspondent  says  ;  **  It 
Is  rumored  thnt  Austria,  with  the  consent  of 
Servia  and  Russia,  will  occupy  the  western  part 
of  Servia.  Two  high  Austrian  officials  have  ai^ 
rived  in  Belgrade." 

The  Times'  Vienna  correspondent  states  that 
the  inter\iew  between  the  Emperors  William 
and  Francis  Joseph  will  be  purely  private.  No 
Slinisters  will  be  oresent.

Wilkesbarre,  Penn.,  Aug.  7. — ^At  Wana- 
mie,  last  night,  Charles  Parrish  attempted  to 
move  several  trains  of  loaded  coal-cars  and 
bring  in  empty  ones,  so  that  the  miners,  a  few 
of  whom  were  willing,  might  work,  but  the 
ICrikers  uncoupled  the  engine  and  made  the  en- 
mneer  go  away.  To-day  Deputy  Sheriff

Reading,  Penn.,  Aug.  7.— The  Coroner's 
inquest  in  the  case  of  the  10  citizens  killed  in 
the  riot  on  the  evening  of  the  23d  of  July,  af- 
ter deliberating  upon  the  testimony  for  several 
days,  rendered  a  verdict  to-day  substantially  as^ 
follows :  I 

Fir8(~-The  said  persons  came  to  their  death  by  a 
firing  of  the  mllitaiy  upon  the  rioters. 

Secofwi— That  the  soldiers  of  the  Fourth  Regiment, 
National  Guard  of  Pennsylvania,  while  m&rcliing 
through  the  railroad  eut  were  continoally  assailed 
with  stones  and  brickbats,  a  distance  of  two  squares, 
accompanied  with  pistol  shots;  that  many  of  the 
soldiers  were  badly  wounded,  some  of  them 
being  knocked  down  two  or  three'  times  ;  that  no 
order  was  )^ven  1o  fire  by  the  commanding  officer; 
that  it  would  be  expecting  too  much  of  untrained 
soldiers  not  to  fire  nuder  such  fearful  peril ;  that  the 
Inquest  cannot  censure  them  for  the  miLnner  in 
which  they  acted. 

TMrd — ^That  the  military  were  nnder  the  direo- 
tions  of  Majpr-Gen.  Bolton,  who  communicated  his 
orders  to  Gen.  Reeder,  who  was  instructed  to  report 
to  the  Sheriff,  Mayor,  or  railroad  of&dals;  that 
he  was  requested  by  a  railroad  ofBcial 
— the  Sheriff  and  Mayor  not  being  about 
— to  release  a  passenger  train  in  the 
hands  of  the  mob,  and  that  while  complying  the 
firing  took  plact.  It  appears  that  Gen.  Reeder  was 
acting  within  his  instractious.  and  if  any  blame  is  to 
be  attached  it  must  be  borne  by  the  superior  ofEtcer 
in  command.. 

fourth — That  the  responsibility  for  the  terrible 
tragedy  Is  directlv  attributnljie  to  the  lawless  bodv 
at  the.  comer  of  Sevemh  and  Penn  streets,  who  were 
Instigating  the  riotous  pn^ceediii^,  while  many  were 
present,  not  as  inciting  to  riot,  but  out  of  idle  curi- 
osity ;  they,  nevertheless,  by  their  presence  gave  aid 
and  confidence  to  the  mob  spirit  which  initiated  the 
disturbance  ;  that  the  latter  are  the  persons  primarily 
responsible  for  the  nubsequent  trcuble  and  bloodshed 
and  should  be  held  to  the  severest  accountability. 

I\r'th — The  Mayor's  absence  may  be  a  sufadent  ei- 
cusefor  the  inactivity  of  the  citv  authorities. 

6'urtt— The  testimony  sliows  Chief  of  Police  CuUen 
faitlifol  to  his  duty,  but  di>e3  not  equally  conmiend 
the  Sheriff,  who  made  no  attempt  to  provide  for  the 
preservation  of  the  public  peace,  althocgh  ui^ed 
to  organize  a  posse  during  the  dav.  An  offer 
of  men  with  arms  and  antniunifion  to  the  Sheriff,  to 
suppress  the  riot,  was  declined  by  that  official,  who 
significantly  romarUed  that  the  mob  also  had  arms. 
All  that  the  Sheriff  of  Berks  County  did. 
after  waiting  a  whole  day  in,  his  office,  was  to 
isxue  his  procJamation  at  5  o'clock  iii>the  evening, 
calling  upon  citizens  to  remain  at  home.  In  conclu- 
sion, the  Sheriff  liaving  neslected  and  refused  to  per- 
form his  obvious  dutv.  is.  in  a  measure,  responsible 
for  the  events  which  followed.

THE  REORGANIZED    CHARTER    OAK. 


STATEMENTS     INJt-RIOUS  TO     THE     COMPANY

MISSIONER     STEDMAN  —  THE     CONCERN 
SAID    TO    BB   IN   A   SOCND   CONDITION: 
iS^pectal  Z>u|paXcA  to  the  yew-York  Timt». 

Hartford.  Conn.,  Aug.  7. — The  n^^ 
managers  of  the  Charter  Oak  have  been  some- 
wuat  annoyed  by  statements  recently  circulated, 
that  they  contemplated  a  '"  freering-out  " 
cotirse  toward  the  policy-holders ;  that  the 
company  has  no  funds  to  meet  dt^th  claims,  and 
no  means  of  securing  any.,  Senator  Eaton,  one 
of  tlie  new  Directors,  in  conversation  with 
your  correspondent  to-day  denounced  the  cir- 
culation of  such  statements  as  purely  malicious. 
He  suggested,  with  a  show  of  fetling,  that  it  is 
preposterous  to  charge  Gov.  Jewell  and  those 
connected  with  hira  with  improper  designs  to- 
ward the  policy-holders,  and  claimed  that  their 
personal  and  btisiuess  reputation,  unquestioned 
up  to  this  time,  should  be  regarded  by  all  fair- 
minded  men  as  a  suihcicnt  refutation  of  the 
charges.  Continuing^,  he  said,  "You  may  say 
on  my  authority  that  the  Charter  Oak  is  all 
right,  that  the  company  is  not  pressed  for 
funds,  and  that  the  prospects  for  restoring  the 
company  to  a  sound  condition  and  making  jrcod 
the  existing  impairment  are  very  favorable." 
In  reply  to  a  remark  that  a  rumor  is  gaining 
ground  that  Fnrber  retains  a  connection 
with  the  company  under  a  new  contract 
even  more  advantageous  to  him  than 
the  old  one,  Senator  Eaton  denied  the 
truth  of  it  and  stated  that  Fnrber  is  wlioUy  un- 
known in  connection  with  the  companr.  except 
as  lessee  of  the  Quinnemont  Mine  and  furnaces 
in  West  Virginia,  whicb  he  has  leased  from  the 
Charter  Oak  for  $24,000  per  aniium.  State  In- 
surance Commissioner  Stedman  criticises  the 
stories  that  have  found  their  way  into  print  iis  too 
.absurd  to  be  worthy  of  attention,  but  believes 
it  would  be  quite  as  well  to  have  the  policy- 
holders made  aware  of  their  falsity,  to  the  end 
that  they  may  not  be  misled'  into  aban- 
doning their  policies  to  their  own  loss  and  the 
injury  of  the  company  in  its  work  of  recupera- 
tion. Regarding  the  finances  of|  the  company, 
he  says  the  funds  are  on  hand  to  meet  all 
claims ;  premiums  are  flowing  in,  and  if  more 
ready  money  is  wanted,  the  company  can  get  it 
from  gentlemen  who  have  faith  in  the  new 
managers,  and  believe  they  are  doing  right 

TBE    FIRST    SENATORIAL    DISTRICT 


GEORGE  TnLLIAM  CURTIS  PROPOSED  AS  A 
CANDIDATE,  AND  CIVIL  SERVICE  REFORM 
THE  ISSUE.  ! 

To  the  Editor  of  the  Xeuh  York  T^ttw*  .- 

In  a  review  of  Republican  prospects  in  the 
Senatorial  districts  of  this  State,  published  in  Tu£ 
Times  a  few  days  ^o.  it  was  stated  that.  L.  Bradford 
Prince  having  declined  a  renomination.  the  First  Dis' 
trict  must  be  conceded  to  the  Democrats.  Now,  it 
has  occurred  to  me  that  this  district  affords  an  ex- 
cellent opporttmity  to  test  the  potitieal  results  of 
thoimuch talked-of  "civil  service"  reform  and  the 
extent  of  the  support  that  it  is  likely  to  receive:  from 
the  public  The  First  Senatorial  District,  on  a  full 
vote  of  both  parties,  is  undoubtedly  Democratic  by 
1,000  or  1, 50O  majority.  Yet,  under  the 
system  of  -  conducting  campugns  hitherto 
in  vogue,  Mr.  Prince  wms  ;  enabled  to 
cany  the  district  for  the  Republicans  two  years 
ago,  and,  for  five  years  previous,  ,he  succeeded  in 
carrying  his  Assembly  district;  which  Is  also  re- 
garded as  Democratic.  Mr.  Prince  is  a  good  cam- 
paigner and  a  hard  worker,  but  it  is  doubtful  whethe 
he  could  have  succeeded  inrarryuig  his  district  for  the 
Republicans  so  many  years  if  he  had  not  been  aided 
by  »vhat  is  stigmatized  as  the  "  machine."  Being  a 
poor  man,  he  has  always  been  as-^i^ted  in  his  canvass 
by  the  contributions  of  office  holders  in  his  district, 
and  some  of  them  have  devoted  a  huge  portion  of  the 
time  not  employed  in  their  official  duties 
in  canvassing  the  dLstrict  for  him  onlthe  eve  of  elec- 
tions. Ali  this,  as  I  understand  the  new  doctrine 
of  civil  service,  has  got  to  bei  stopoed.  No  man  hold- 
ing office  under  the  Government  will  be  allowed  to 
take  any  part  in  the  campaign  beyond  casting  his 
vote,  aiid  candidates  for  office  on  the  Repubhcan 
ticket  will  have  to  rely  on  their  own  exertions  and 
their  own  money,  or  ujKjn  such  assistance  as  may  be 
volunteeretl  by  citizens  having  no  other  interest 
than  the  gratification  derived  from  the  success  of  the 
RopubUcan  Party.  I  frankly  confess  that  I  do  not 
believe  in:  this  new  theory  of  "civil  service."  But 
with  regard  to  this  as  with  regard  to  Hayes' 
•'.Southern  policy,"  I  am  wiJling  to  give  it  a  "fair 
trial,"  and,  as  before  remarked,  the  coming 
election  foir  Senator  in  the  First  District  affords  an 
excellent  opportunity  to  test  its  merits  and  its:  popu- 
larity. All  Republicans  will  concede  that  it  is  of  the 
utmost  importance  to  the  party  that  it  should  pre- 
serve its  ascendencv  in  the  State  Senate  for  the  next 
two  years.  Now,  the  people  of  the  First  District  are 
fortunate  in  having  among  tiiem  the  champion  par 
exeellenee  of  "civil  service"  reform  as  it  is  now 
being  carried  out  by  President  Hayes.  I  refer  to 
Mr.  George  William  Curtis.  He  is  not  only  a  repre- 
sentative civil  service  reformer,  but  Is  ad- 
mitted to  be  a  stanch,  unwavering  Republican, 
and  one  of  the  ablest  and  most  cultured 
man  in  the  nation.  Let  the  Republicans  of  the  First 
IHstrict  nominate  him  unanimously  as  Mr.  Prince's 
successor;  let  them  make  civil  service  reform  a  lead-

people  of  the  district  are  ready  to  5Upp<irt  the  new

Curtis.  *I  trust  that  the  Republicans  of  the  First 
Senatorial  District  will  put  Mr.  Curtis  in  nomination; 
without  a  dissenting  voice,  so  that  the  public  can 
witness  the  results  of  the  new  method  of  conducting: 
political  campaigns  as  compared  with  the  old.  The 
advocatea  of  the  new  civil  servic*  can  never  have  a

KMPLOTED  AT  THE  SCENES  OF  THE 
STRIKES.

Washington,  Aug.  7.— At  the  Cabinet 
eeting  to-day  Assistant  Secretary  Serward  pre- 
tuted  a  communication  from  the  President  of 
te  Navigator  or  Samoan  Islands,  requesting 
le  United  States  to  take  them  under  its  protec- 
ion.    It  seems  that  the  German  E^mplre  has 
n  looking  that  way,  and  is  making  an  at- 
>nipt   to   secure   the    islands    as    a  colony, 
hich  is  not  favored  by  the  present  Government 
>f  the  islands.    No  decision  was  arrived  at  in 
ifegard  to  the  matter,  but  members  of  the  Cabi- 
net express  the  opinion  that  they  are  too  far 
distant  to  make  an  alliance  with  them  of  any 
1  ►eneflt  to  the  United  States.     These  islands  are 
1  he  scene  of  the  exploits  of  an  American  named 
!  rteinbewier,  who  went  there  as  Consul  of  the 
.Tnited  States,  and  succeeded   in   getting  the 
I  Sovemment  into  his  own  hands. 

The  Cabinet  also  considered  the  propriety  of 
pmoving  the  United  States  troops  from  the 
\  K)ints  where  they  were  sent  to  protect  property 
I  luring  the  recent  strike,  and  it  was  decided 
:  hat  they  should  return  to  their  respective  gar- 
isons,  except  in  cases  where,  in  Gen.  Han- 
<  ock's  opinion,  their  presence  was  still  neces- 
lary.

Washington,  Aug.  7.— The  Department 
>f  State,  in  a  recent  communication  from  the 
L'nited  States  Legation  at  Madrid,  is  informed 
>f  the  multifarious  correspondence  with  which, 
n  ad^tion  to  its  legitimate  duties,  it  is  too  fre- 
[uently  burdened,  by  the  application  for  mer- 
santile  information,  as  well  as  for  many  trivial 
lalls  upon  its  time.  It  would  seem  that  scarcely 
,  I  week  elapses  without  application  being  made 
!or  what  is  almost  impossible  for  a  re- 
presentative to  supply,  however  willing  he 
iiay  be  to  oblige  his  countrymen  at 
lome.  and  in  maiiy  instances  It  is  not  encour- 
igimr  to  have  da^s  of  patient  effort  pass  without 
^ven  *' thanks  '*  to  stimulate  like  efforts  in  fu- 
ture. For  example,  within  a  year  or  two  re- 
quests have  been  mode  for  complete  statistics 
[>f  irrigation  and  drainage,  of  railways,  of  man- 
ufacturing establishments  engaged  in  a  particu- 
lar industrv,  of  the  iron-clad  and  wooden  Navy 
of  Spain,  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Patent  Oflice 
In  Madrid,  of  births  and  deaths  through- 
out the  Peninsula  for  the  current 
year,  and,  in  short,  for  matters 
not  accessible  in  every  case,  and  for  which 
statistics  could  not  bt  compiled,  without  arduous 
and  unrequited  labor  ou  the  part  of  the  officers 
of  the  Spanish  Government  or  of  the  already 
overburdened  legation.  Applications  have 
been  made  even  for  the  purchase  of  libraries, 
collections  of  seeds,  to  procui^  certified  copies 
of  variotLS  legal  documents,  archives  in  distant 
parti  of  the  countrj-,  and,  iu  fact,  to  perform 
the  office  of  gimeral  commission  agent.  It  is 
further  stated  that  while  our  representatives 
are  willing  to  perform  services  for  their  coun- 
itrvmen,  it  is  expected  that  they  will  do  so  only 
wheu  not  inconsistent  with  their  official  duties, 
and  that  no  right  exists  to  demand  of  them 
these  extra  ofhcial  acts.

Washington,  Aug.  7. — The  following  is 
the  report  of  the  Philadelphia  Custom-house

Philadelphia  Penn..  Arxg.  1.  1877. 

IToji.  John\Ske7inan,  Secretary  of  tlur  Tretteury : 

i>iR :  \\"hUe  proceeding  with  the  investigation 
author' zedlby  your  iustnu^tions  of  June  *J.  our  atten- 
tion was  dlrectcl  by  a  letter  of  the  acting  Secretary, 
dated  July|G,  to  a  controversy  between  the  Collector 
of  the  Port  of  I'hiludelpliia  and  Inspector  Arnold, 
stationed  at  Uie  port  of  Cliester,  as  to  which  we  were 
further  instructed,  as  follows: 

'*  You  wtU  inquire  coneomlne  thedatltMof  an  Inspec- 
tor at  tliatjport,  whether  Mr.  Arnold  ha»  properly  ut- 
t4.>nded  to  tihem,  giving  hia  whole  time  to  the  Govern- 
ment service.  You  will  also  re)K}rt  whether,  in  the  judg- 
ment of  Iho  commission,  the  rwent  action  of  the  Collec- 
tor In  removing  Mr.  Arnold  was  taken  after  tho  receipt 
of  a  dispatch  oy  telegraph  from  the  Secrotury  of  too 
Treasury  prohlbltinj^  such  action ;  and  farther,  what 
vhaoge.'lf  any,  is  necessary  to  insure  the  proper  coUec- 
tion  of  the  Customs  at  fhenter  end  rlcinlty." 

We  have'  inquired  as  directed,  and  reiwrt  thoreon 
aa  follows : 

F\r»t—Th!0  duties  of  Mr.  Arnold  are.  in  generaU  »U  such 
as  are  required  bv  statute  and  regulations  of  any  Inspec- 
tor, and  he  Is  ite  only  Customs  ofllcer  in  his  disirict, 
(wliich  inchides  the  City  of  Chester,  with  several  miles  of 
adjacent  colast. )  except  a  watchniau,  wlio  is  employed  only 
when  nlt;hc  service  b*  requirrtL  The  duties  which  ho  htiM 
ordinarily  to  perform  are  Uelenniiied  by  the  nutun;  of  the 
commerce  of  the  port  and  tho  purjjoiiC*  for  which  veib>els 
eut«r  liis  diatrict.  Fr(jni  a  summarj-  submitted  by  him 
of  his  ser\"  ice  for  four  yeara,  we  conclude 
that  his  chief  duties  have  been  to  board  and 
Inspect  vessels  coming  into  his  dJulrict  whether  foreign 
or  couxtwise.  and  take  charge  of  all  vessels  entering  for 
the  deliver>-  cf  inipurtB.  and  *uperint«nd  their  dis<;harife. 
■^\Ti»-nenKU|E«^  in  the  latter  «:r\ice  the  time  of  the  ll;- 
spectiT  Is  fully  oet:upie*l,  but  the  duliverj"  of  iiuports  at 
Criesti-r  has  irrcatly  diminished  of  late,  and  only  a  few 
cargoes  of  lu('wu<xl.  lath,  and  planter  have  been  dis- 
,  chartted  thtre  during  the  past  vear.  The  boardiug  of  a 
•  vessel  ami  the  examination  n{\\.A  papers  take  but  u  little 
while,  and  the  amount  of  this  kind  of  sf nice,  although 
considerable  at  times,  hai»  not  been  sufficient  to  keep  the 
iutipector  occupied.  Though  iiivestt-d  by  law  with  the 
powers  of  a  Deputy  Collector.  (Kevwed  Statutes,  section 
5.044.)  the  inspector  sei-ms  to  have  had  no  occasion  to 
exercise  thtm  further  than  to  occasionally  administer  an 
outb. 

tfecwtw/— It  lias  not  been  shown  that  Mr.  Arnold  has 
not  proiierly  atlen^led  to  his  duties,  unless  by  not  huvin^; 
glveii  his  wliule  liiue  to  the  );o\-ermnent  ^e^^:iee.  We 
6onciu«lu  from  the  evidence  that  since  be  has  \j*^n  In- 
spector he  huH  ifiven  an  average  of  about  two  hourh  i>er 
dav  to  U'.-tuttl  service.  It  appeara  al-so  that  from  ois  ap- 
pointment lo  June  1,  nil.,  he  held  the  position  of  man- 
ager or  book-keeper  iu  the  dfflce  of  tbe  iXuu'ure  C'ourttjf 
iitfnihikun^  and  has  bet;n  paid  tor  that  scn-ic:  $lo 
per  week.  During  wdd  period  he  itave  more  or 
'  less  of  the  time  for  which  he  received 
I  compensation  as  inspector  to  this  newspaper  work,  but  it 
was  not  sliown  that  he  neglected  hLn  oiilcial  duty  or  cavo 
preference'  in  any  way  to  his  private  oecupatloiL  This 
.practice  of  engaging  in  other  business  seems  to  have  pr»j- 
vaUed  formany  years  at  that  port,  and  without  objec- 
tion, until  Collector  Tutton.  being  advised  thei-eof.  colled 
■Mr.  Arnold's  attention  to  It  as  wrong  in  principle  and 
not  permissible,  and  In  that  conclusion,  on  the  laeta  of 
tne  case,  we  concur.  It  is  due  Mr  Arnold  to  add  that 
after  such  notihcution  he  ga^ «  up  the .  newspaper  con- 
nectiou.  and  has  not  since  May  last  been  cngwged  in  any 
other  than  Government  sen.i<^e.  Hi«  capacity  was  not 
(lueatloned,  and  no  cliarge  other  than  as  atK>ve  stated  has 
been  made  against  his  character. 

Xfttni— The  re'-ent  a'.-iion  of  Collector  Tutton  in  re- 
mo^-ingMr.  Arnold  bv  appointing  and  administering  the 
oath  of  oflice  to  Mr.  Frick  in  his  place  on  June  30.  ult.. 
was  fakenlbefore  the  receipt  by  him  on  thai  day  of  the 
dispatch  by  toleirmph  from  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury- 

rohibiting  su<;h  action.  We  «*;«  no  reason  to  doubt  the 
g(»odfaithiot  the  O/Ucctor'rt  action  in  that  respect,  and 
And  no  e\idenco  of  intent  on  his  part  to  disregard  in- 
structions inr  to  slidw  disrespect  to  his  official  superior. 

Fourth — ^Tne  rtnal  instruction  we  understand  as  relat 
in:;.  lik«  the  Ifvst  of  our  froueral  instructions,  to  the 
amendinent  of  the  law,  and  in  this  re^spect  we  have  only 
to  sBV  tbot.  ijthough  there  was  evidence  tending  to  show 
tiiat  tht?  ofttce  of  tiesident  Ins[»ei:tor  at  Chester  might  be 
safely  abolished  and  the  ser\ice  there  conducted  by  detail 
from  this  port,  we  are  not  satisAed  that  this  is 
ad%-ijiable.  It  is  true  the  duties  of  the  office 
have  not  hitherto  occupied  the  fall  time  of 
the  Inspector,  bat  he  complains  that  he 
has  been  and  is  unable  to  do  as  much  as  he  might  for 
want  of  proper  fadUties,  such  as  a  boat  and  boatmen 
with  which  to  board  vessels  in  the  stream,  which  h« 
thinks  should  be  provided.  Tne  night  officer  has  also 
complain'^  of  the  inadequacy  of  his  crjmpensation  in 
view  of  the  labor  he  has  to  perform.  We  are  not  suftl- 
clently  informed  as  to  the  substance  of  these  complaints 
to  malto  any  recommendation  other  than  that  they  be  re- 
ferred to  a  special  agent  or  other  suitable  authority  for

THE  PIKE^ONES  HOMICIDE  CASE. 

A  VEBDICT  OF  INSANITY  BETUBNED  AGAINST 
THE  MUBDEREB  OP  THE  PROPEIKTOB  OF 
THE  '*  BELIGIO-PHILOSOPHICAL  JOUBNAL" 
OF  emCAGO. 

Special Di^atch  to  the  ITewToTk  HmeM. 

Chicago,  HI.,  Aug.  7.— The  trial  of  Wil- 
liam C.  Pike  for  the  murcier  of 
S.  S.  Jones,  proprietor  of  the  JSeliffio- 
Philosophieal  J&ttmalj  in  March  last, 
■was  coDclnded  in  the  Criminal  Court  here 
to-day.  The  evidence  showed  that  Pike  had  been 
an  inmate  of  two  insane  asylums  within  the  past 
SOyears,  and  that  hehad  committed  a  number  of 
acts  that  no  sane  man  would  have  done.  In 
1870  he  was  confined  inpe  Taunton,  Mass., 
Lunatic  Asylum,  and  in  1870  and  1871  on 
Blackwell's  Island.  The  evidence  disclosed  a 
sickening  mess  of  spiritualistic  and  free- 
love  practices  by  all  the  parties  im- 
plicat«a  in  thjs  case.  The  counsel 
^bmitted  the  case  without  argument,  and  a 
verdict  was  returned  to  the  effect  that  de- 
fendant was  not  guilty,  but  that  he  did  kill 
Jones  as  charged  in  the  indictment,  and  at  the 
time  was  insane,  and  stiU  continues  to  bo 
insane.  Pike  was  remanded  into  custody,  and 
will  bo  sent  to  the  Elgin  Asylum.  This  is  the 
first  verdict  of  the  kind  ever  rendered  here. 


A  SAN  FRANCISCO  BROKER  KILLED. 

JOHN  E.  DAILY,  FORMERLY  OF  NEW-YORK, 
SHOT  AND  RILLED  BY  THE  CONSUL- 
GENERAL  OF  GUATEMALA — THE  ORIGIN 
OP  THE  FATAL  QUARREL. 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Aug.  7.— John  E. 
Daily,  a  stock  broker,  was  shot  and  killed  to-day 
by  Leslie  C.  ifanks,  Consul-General  for  Guate- 
mala, in  this  city.  The  trouble  grew  out  of  a 
trifling  disagreement  last  Saturday  between 
Hanks  andEmil  Kuranda,  Daily's  partner.  Daily 
took  up  the  quarrel  yesterday  and  worsted  Hanks 
in  a  perconul  encounter.  Bystanders  state  that 
Hanks  approached  Daily  from  behind  and  shot 
him  without  warning.  'Hanks  claims  that  Daily 
approached  him  threatenin*;lv  with  a  heavy 
cane,  and  that  ho  fired  in  seifdefense.  Hanks 
is  in  confinement,  awaiting  examination.  Daily 
was  formerly  a  broker  in  New-York,  and  has  a 
family  in  New-Haven.  Hanks  was  formerlv  a 
member  of  the  shipping  firm  of  J.  C.  Merrill  & 
Co.  Both  men  occupied  high  social  positions, 
and  were  in  easy  circumstances. 

GRANT  AND  DON  CAMERON. 

THE  CLOSIKG  DAYS  OF  THE  LAST  ADMINISTRA- 
TION— ^A    SOUTHERN  STORY   OP     DISCORD 
OVER  THE  SENDING    OF   A  WAR   DEPART- 
MENT TELEGRAM  TO  NEW-ORLEANS. 
From,  the  yetc-OrUans  Times,  Avg.  3. 

Col.  W.  M.  Le\*y  has  given  to  the  Natchi- 
toches Vindicator  an  interesting  account  of  some  of 
the  In-slde  workings  of  the  Grant  Administration  at 
the  close  of  its  last  term.  Concerning  the  order 
which  President  Grant  issued  to  tien.  An^nr  for  the 
withdrawal  of  the  troops,  Col.  Levy  says: 

"  On  the  2d  of  March.  Gen.  Grant* showed  to  us 
the  draft  of  the  order  directine  the  withdrawal  of 
the  troops  in  accordance  with  his  previously  declared 
iuteutiuii,  wi'ich  he  said  he  would  send  to  ^n. 
Aji^ur  by  telecraph.  That  ten.  Grant  did  direct 
this  order  to  be  sent  I  am  fully  satisfied  and  con- 
vinced ;  how  or  by  whom  it  was  suppressed  or  with- 
held I  am  unable  to  state,  and  iu  time,  perhaps,  a 
disclosure  may  be  made  which  will  fix  the  perfidy 
where  it  belongs." 

Tliere  Are  some  curious  and  interesting  facta  con- 
nected with  this  matter  which  the  Tiine»  cai\  now 
properly  give  to  tho  public  Tho  President  issued 
tlie  order  mentioned  by  Col.  Levy,  just  as  he  agreed 
to.    It  was  sent  to  Gen.  Sherman  at  12  M.,  March  '2. 

For  some  reason  the  President  did  not  submit  the 
order  to  the  Secretary  of  War,  nor  did  the  Secretary 
know  that  it  had  been  issued,  until  by  accident  he 
learned  that  it  was  in  the  Adjutant-General's  hands 
for  transmission  to  Xew-Orleaus.  He  inunediately 
ordered  the  Adjutant-General  not  to  send  it.  as  it 
had  not  come  ttirough  "the  proper  militarj-  chan- 
nels," meaning  the  War  Office.  Gen.  Townsend 
tried  to  say  that  "the  President  and  Gen.  Sherman" 
—  'The  President  and  Sherman,  too  I"  broke  in  the 
anpry  Pennsylvanian,  *"1  am  either  Secretary  of 
War,  or  I  am  not.  Grant,  who  is  an  old  soldier, 
oueht  to  have  known  better  than  to  do  a  thing  which 
is  a  deliberate  insult  to  me." 

He  directed  Gen.  Townsend  to  notify  Gen.  Sher- 
man that  •*  the  order  to  Gen.  Au(c:ur  to  remove  the 
tro"jp6  from  the  State-house  in  Loaisiana  was  with- 
held by  the  Secretary  of  War  for  sufficient  reasons." 

Gen.  Sherman  went  at  once  to  the  President,  and 
said  that  while  he  would  send  the  order  himself  if 
the  President  wished,  yet  as  it  was  one  oi  great  im- 
portance it  had  better  go  through  tho  proper  chan- 
nels, and  be  signed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and 
that  he  thought  Caaaeron  had  better  be  sent  for. 

The  President  himself  wrote  Cameron  a  note,  and 
asked  Mr  Lucky,  his  private  Secretary,  to  be  'the 
bearer  of  it.  as  the  matter  wan  One  of  great  im- 
liortance.  ilr.  Cameron  iirinediately  went  to'  the 
White  House,  and  found  tho  President  and  Gen. 
Sliemian  awaiting  him. 

'•  Cameron,"  said  tho  President.  ''I  issued  an  order 
to-day  for  the  removal  ot  the  lro{)p3  from  the  Louisi- 
ana .State-hou^te.  I  learn  that  yuu  have  suppressed 
it.  Why  did  you  do  tiiis  ?"  "Mr.  President.''  said 
the  Secretary.  "  you  are  an  old  soldier  aud  a  verj- 
distinguished  one ;  I  do  not  bt-Ueve  you  would  put 
an  insult  upon  me.  Yet  I  find  yon  db<regarJing  the 
plainest  principle  of  official  etiquette,  by  transmit- 
ting orders  which  should  go  through  my  hands, 
wii  hout  my  knowledge  or  consent.  As  the  Secretarj- 
of. War.  I  rank  Geu.  Sherman.  He  is  my  subordi- 
nate. He  has  no  riffht  to  forward  any  order,  not 
oven  from  vou.  unless  it  goes  through  the  regular 
channels.  Vour  cnnduct  was  in-egiular.  I  stopped 
the  onler.  If  you  insist  upon  its  being  sent  by  Gen. 
Shennan,  I  stiall  notify  Gen.  Augur  to  disre^a'rd  any 
orders  not  sigiu-d  by  nie.  While  I  am  Secretary  of 
W»r  I  am  entitled  to  the  consi<Jenition  that  Wlongs 
to  the  position.  If  it  is  not  a*.-c*>rdt'd  me  by  my  sub- 
ordinate's, 1  Avitl  take  cure  to  see  tiiat  its  neglect  is 
property  resented.''  Gen.  Sljermau's  face  was  a 
study.  l.'iKm  the  points  of  etiquette  Cameron  was 
right.  Tlie  President  sat  still,  liis  face  as  motionless 
and  imiHissive  as  that  of  Secretaiy  Stai:lon,  that 
stood  near  to  his  richt  hand,  carved  in  stone.  As^ 
Cameron  rose  to  go  he  said :  "Mr.  President,  1  have 
uiily  two  days  more  to' serve  in  your  Cabinet.  If  you 
desire  my  resignation  it  is  at  your  service." 

Mi-anwhile,  iJie  Louis-ianidans  who  were  interest- 
ed in  the  success  of  tlie  Conser\'ative  catuie  were 
very  uneasy. 

I'bf  best  informed  of  them  knew  the  order  had 
been  issued.  Grant  had  told  Gov.  Penn  und  Major 
Bnrke  that  he  meant  to  send  it,  aud  would  see  that 
it  Went  at  once  into  effect. 

There  happened  to  be  an  old  Louisiana  college 
friend  and  classmate  of  Cnim-ron  in  Washington. 
It  was  known  that  the  friendly  relation.'s  between  the 
two  had  been  nmintAiued,  altlutugh  the  one  was  a 
Kepublican,  and  Secretary  of  War.  while  the  other 
is  one  of  the  most  sagacious  and  far-sighted  of  South- 
em  politicians.  As  this  gentleman's  personal  rela- 
tions with  Cameron  were  of  a  character  that  gave 
liim  the  entree  to  the  war  office  at  any  hotu*.  he  was 
requested  to  find  out  what  the  matter  was.  He 
eohed.  and  of  course  was  at  once  admitted. 

"Don.'"he  said.  "  what  is  the  hitch  in  that  order 
of  Grant  f  I  know  that  it  "was  issued  at  12  M.  to- 
dny,  and  I  also  know  that  it  has  never  left  this  city." 
Tlie  Setretarj'  replied  that  Grant  had  tried  to  send 
the  onler  without  his  knowledge,   and  that  lie  had 

stopped  it.     He  gave  Major his  reasons,  and  said 

that,  while  he  wi«  a  Ilepublicun,  he  felt  that  there 
ought  to  be  ft  change  in  the  ini^nageraent  of  Southern 
affaii-s.  That  he  had  withheld  the  order  as  much 
froni  persomil  reason?,  and  a  feeling  tiiat  ho  had  not 
been  treated  h.s  he  should  have  been  in  the  matter. 
as  an>*tbini;  else. 

Two  days  after  tliLs  Cameron  went  out  of  ofiice 
with  Grant.  _

THE  REMOVAL  OF  SPECIAL  AGENT  MOORE — 
DAMAGING  ASSERTION'S  AGAINST  BABCOCK 
AND  OTHERS  CONCERNED  IN  THE  PAilOCS 
SAFE  BURGLARY. 

Boston,  Mass.,    Aug.  7. — The  following 
will  appear  in  the  Herald  to-morrow  morning: 
Fabragct  Hocsb,  Rye  Beach,  N.  H.,  Aug.  7. 

The  declaration  of  ex-Special  Treasury  Agent 
Moore  that  I  attempted  to  black-mail  him 'does  not 
contain  a  sinele  element  of  truth.  I  never  sought  at 
any  time  to  communicate  with  him,  either .  di- 
rectly or  indirectly,  for  anv  purpose  whatever. 
The  statement  that  I  published  certain  papers 
after  failtire  to  obtain  money  from  him,  as 
the  price  of  their  suppression,  is  equally 
false,  since  tlie  papers  'in  my  possession  re- 
lating to  h*T^  have  never  yet  "been  published 
anywhere.  No  papers  affecting  him  from  the  official 
flies  of  the  Treasury  were  ever  put  in  my  hands 
by  Mr.  Stnrtevant  or  any  one  else.  Mooro 
was  not  removed  on  account  of  the  exhibition 
of  such  papers  as  he  describes  to  the 
President  or  Secretary.  His  removal  followed  from 
the  discovery  of  a  series  of  original  documents, 
laj^ly  in  Moore's  handwriting,  showing  be- 
yond possible  doubt  that  at  the  time  Secre- 
tary Schurz  and  Charles  Sumner  were  attempting 
to  mvestigate  the  Santo  Domingo  matter  through  a 
cominittee  of  the  Senate,  Moore,  then  Assessor  of 
Internal  Revenue  In  Texas,  entered  into  a 
conspiracy  with  Gen.  Babcock  and  Cola. 
Whitely  and  Nettleship,  of  the  Secret  Ser- 
vice force,  to  shield  Babcock  and  defeat 
some  of  the  most  important  objects  of  that  investi- 
gation. To  accomplndi  this  it  wM  necessary  to  get 
one  of  the  witnesseaa  against  Babcock,  living  in 
Rhode  Island,  out  of  the  way.  Moore  manufactured 
an  affidavit  charging  this  witness,  who  had  been  a 
Union  soldier  in  Texas,  with  murder.  On  this  he 
pTOCtired  a  requisition  on  the  Governor  of  Rhode 
Island  for  this  witness.  Hoore  came  with  these  na- 
peis  to  Washington.  Babcock,  who  was  thon  at  fitie 
Wliite  House,  gave  him  a  letter  to  Whitely,  re- 
qnestiug  the  ABsistance  of  the  latter.  Whitely  stnt 
^Nulli^«iup  to  Bxiatol  to  tfi-  and  take  Said  witness  at 


night  by  the  Fall  River  boat  tolfew-York,  and  thence 
to  Washinffton,  where  it  was  thought  the  conrU 
conld  ^  inonced  not  to  grflnt  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus. 
The  plot,  which  was  more  infamous  if  possible  than 
the  safe  burclarj',  in  which  the  same  partiet  figored, 
failed,  but  aU  the  paners  remain,  and  mainlv  on  these 
Moore  was  removed.  H.  V.  BOiVTON. 


THE  GERMANS  AND  TAMMANY  HALL. 


From  the  Ktw-Tork  StaaU-Ztitwng,  Aug.  7. 

Some  of  the  daily  papers  of  our  City  have 
been  endeavoring  for  some  time  to  prove  the  necessi- 
ty of  defeating  Tammany  Hall  at  the  approaching 
Fall  eleeticHX,  and  call  to  mind  the  result  of  the  elec* 
tions  of  the  past  six  years  so  as  to  show  the  possibili- 
ty of  such  defeat.  They  show  that  every  time  when 
the  several  opposition  elements  did  Jointly  proceed 
against  Tammany  Hall,  a  decUive  victory  was  won, 
and  that  whenever  the  Republicans  made  independ- 
ent nominationa,  they  only  have  in  an  indirect  way 
facilitated  the  success  of  Tammany  Halh 

The  position  which  the  German  voters  of  our  City 
have  assumed  In  regard  to  Municipal  elections  in  the 
course  of  past  years,  has  correctly  given  rise  to  the 
inference  that  they  can  be  considered  one  of  the  most 
reliable  and  strongest  elements,  which,  nnaffeeted  by 
party  considerations,  will  use  their  influence,  and 
cast  their  votes  to  secure  an  honest  and  economical 
City  Administration.  This  acknowledgment  of  the 
merits  of  our  German  voters  is  no  meaningless  flat- 
tery, but  a  truth  stistained  by  the  experience 
of  many  years.  Tne  adopted  German  citizens  of  otir 
City  do  not  elidm  any  great  merit  on  account  of  their 
course,  nor  do  they  think  themselves  entitled  to  any 
special  concessions.  They  have  simply  done  their 
duty  conscientiously.  The  stand  they  took  was  the 
result  of  their  coniaction  as  to  what  was  necessary 
for  reforming  our  Municipal  Administration,  and  they 
knew  full  well  that  in  taking  this  stand  they  did 
best  and  most  efflcientlv  guard  their  interests  as  citi- 
zens of  otur  Municipality.  They  are  not  strong 
enough  to  secure  by  their  own  exertions  the  desired 
and  necessary  reforms,  and  hence  they  are  inclined 
to  unite  with  those  who  haVe  the  same  end  in  view. 
Prom  this  purpose  they  cannot  be  diverted  by  disap- 
pointment, nor  by  the  abase  of  any  success  ivhicb 
they  aided  in  winning. 

It  mubt  be  stated  that  those  psrsons  are  laboring 
under  a  mistaken  idea  who  think  they  have  secured 
the  German  voters  under  all  circumstances,  and  can 
use  them  for  their  political  ptirposes.  when  they 
have,  in  fact,  obtained  their  co-operation  only  for 
a  stated  purpose.  The  Germans  are  of  opinion 
that  our  Municipal  affairs  should  be  independent  of 
party  polities  ;  and  hence,  it  is  qtiite  natural  that  to- 
morrow they  may  oppose  those  in  whose  ranks  they 
fight  to-day,  and  at  the  same  time  declare  war  asalnst 
the  corruption  of  one  party  iu  the  Gty  of  New'. York 
aSd  against  another  party  in  the  State  or' Union. 
Whoever  charges  them  with  acting  inconsistently 
does  not  comprehend  their  motives,  and  has  only  to 
blame  hinoseli  that  an  uiibearable  party  regime  has 
been  got  rid  of  on  one  side  only  to  be  encotmtered  on 
the  other  side. 

*Vhe  election  of  pood,  ieser^-ing,  honest  officers  is 
the  main  purpose  of  the  efl'vrts  of  the  Germans.  For 
this  reason,  it  might  be  said,  tliey  could  just  as  well 
support  the  Tammany  nonunees,'  provided  they  come 
up  to  their  expectations.  Tammany  Hall  has,  in 
some  cases,  nominated  and  elected  good  candidates, 
but  they  have  always  proved  too  weak  for  a  struggle 
with  the  overwhelming  tendency  of  their  organiza- 
tion, and  hence  the  intelligent  people  of  our 
City  have  arrived  at  tlie  conclusion  that  a 
defeat  of  Tammany  Hall,  no  matter  who 
may  be  the  candidates  of  that  oiganiza- 
tion.  is  essentially  necessary  for  bringing  about 
the  reforms  required  in  our  Municipal  Government. 
Tlic  present  City  Administration  under  the  control  of 
Tammany  Hall  cannot  be  called  a  bad  one.  The 
chit-f  of  our  City  Administration,  and  the  several  de- 
partments have,  on  several  Ofcasions.  endeavored  to 
do  their  duty  according  to  their  be.'^t  ability;  but, 
notwithstanding  this,  our  public  debt  is  continually 
increasing,  the  expenditures  -  remain  about  the  same, 
and  the  taxes,  thottgh  not  increased,  are  felt  as 
a  neavy  burden  in  these  hurd  times.  The  asser- 
tion might  be  made  that  the  emission  of  new 
certificates  of  indebtedness,  the  oreanization  of  the 
departments,  the  salaries  of  the  officials.  &c.7a;iro 
regulated  by  law,  and  that  the  Municipal  authorities 
are  powerless  to  make  the  necessary  reductions.  But 
when,  in  the  course  of  last  Winter,  "several  bilh>  were 
passed  by  the  Legislature,  chief  among  them  the  so- 
called  Financial  bill,  which  authorized  the  City 
authorities  to  make  reductions,  and  which  contained 
proWsions  against  increasing  the  City's  indebtedness 
beyond  a  certain  amount,  it  was  the  in- 
fiuence  of  Tammany  Hall  which  induced  the 
Govenior  to  refuse  to  sign  these  bills.  The  same 
thing  would  be  expected  next  Winter.  As  long  as 
Tammany  Hall,  pointing  to  the  result  of  an  election, 
can  assert  that  it  represents  the  views  of  a  majority 
of  the  voters  of  our  City,  the  Governor  will  continue 
to  be  of  the  opinion  tJiat  he  must  not  sign  any  bill 
which  has  not  received  the  J^anction  of  Tammany 
Hall.  This  \iew  of  the  situation  has  alreadv  had  the 
most  detrimental  effect  on  our  Municipal  aifairs, 
and  as  the  Governor  does  not  appear  to  be  open 
to  reason  and  common  sense,  the  only  possibility  of 
briiigina- about  a  change  in  his  views  wul  be  to  con- 
\ince  him,  b\-  the  result  of  our  approaching  elec- 
tioirs.  that  Tammany  Hall  does  .not  represent  a 
majority  of  our  voters.  The  offices  which  are  to  be 
filled  next  Fall  may  be  comparatively  unimportant ; 
still,  there  is  an  opportunity  offered  to  prove  that 
Tammany  Hall  is  not  the  City  of  New-York.  and  the 
German  citizens  will  deem  it  a  duty  to  aid  with  all 
tlieir  might  iu  producing  this  conrtncing  proof. 

IT  JS  DAWXIXGr 
From  y)er  yew-York  Sepublikaner  of  Sunday. 
The  Xew-Vobk  Times,  which  cannot  be  too 
much  lauded  for  its  successful  and  cotirageous  fight 
against  Tweed  in  1371.  has  aeain  discerned  with  its 
usual  clear-sightedness  how  it  must  be  done  this  time 
in  order  to  defeat  the  successor  of  Big  Six  and  that 
tribo  of  patriots.  The  Times  began  the  campaign  of 
IbTl  of  its  own  accord,  and  to  it  now  belongs  the 
credit  of  the  thotight  of  again  uniting  all  the  Anti- 
Tammany  elements  against  tho  Tammany  oligarchy. 
Mr.  Ottendorfer  also  merits  the  applause  of  all  good 
citizens  that  are  tired  of  the  corrupt  rule  of  Kelly  & 
Co.  for  his  decided  and  effective  opposition  to  the 
Irish  high  priesthood  in  the  Democratic  church. 
The  rendezvous  of  ail  Anti-Tammany  dements  is 
the  "catholic"  reform  platform  ot  the  I^resident's 
Administration,  On  it  they  can  all  unite  with  a 
good  conscience  in  the  cood  work  against  the  tax- 
eaters  and  corrupt  ion  ists  in  thU  A  merican  (f) 
Municipality  of  Ncw-Cvrk.  That  the  prospects 
for  a  union  of  all  the  Anti-Tammany 
elements  in  this  City  have  shaped  themselves 
Fo  favorably  is  cliiefiy  due  to  the  wise  national  policy 
inaugurated  by  President  Hayes,  which  will  have,  as 
one  of  its  inovitalile  conse<nnMices,  the  dissolution  of 
the  Democratic  I'arty.  Wilh(»ut  a  point  of  support 
in  those  c<inlroversief  and  questions  of  the  hour  that 
now  occupy  the  attention  of  the  public,  with  a  "su- 
peranuated"  Jonah  on  lK)ard.  tlie  I>cmocnitic  P.^rtv 
drifts  aimlcs.*;  and  without  rudder. or  compass,  while 
the  Republican  Party  hiis  demonstrated  a  vigor  and 
fret-hness  that  have  called  forth  expre-^sions  of  sur- 
prise niid  even  fear  from  its  antagonists.  We  need 
now  nothitig  but  a  firm  determination  to  reach  the 
goal,  aud  buccess  will  surely  be  our  reward.

TtTESDAV,  Aug.  7— P.  M. 

The  principal  feature  of  interest  in  the 
<tock  speculation  to-day  was  the  sudden  break 
In  Western  Union,  which,  late  in  the  afternoon, 
without  warning,  dropped  off  from  74I4  to 
TlSg.  The  sharp  decline  in  the  price  was  the 
causa  of  considerable  comment,  and  gave  rise 
to  a  report  that  Jay  Gould  and  Keene  had  set- 
tled their  differences  and  were  again  working 
in  harmony.  This  report,  however,  was  re- 
ceived with  general  incredulity,  and  has  doubt- 
less no  fonndation  in  fact  In  the  railroad 
shares.  Late  Shore  was  conspicuously  strong, 
recording  an  advance  of  13^^  although  it  later 
reacted  in  sympathy  with  "Western  Union.  The 
bolls  in  this  stock  are  industriously  circulating 
reports  that  the  freight  business  of  the  company 
U  improving.  The  genearal  market  was  firm 
tfaroughoujt  the  day,  and  an  improving  tendency 
was  perceptible  up  to  the  time  when  Western 
Union  declined,  after  which  speculation  was 
ireak  and  unsettled  in  tone.  Panama  was 
quoted  at  106,  bid,  agalnat  Ifc  yesterday. 

The  total  transactions  reached  136,219 
fliares,  which  embraced  44,400  Western  Union, 
40,400  Lake  Shore,  16,325  Delaware,  Lacka- 
wanna and  Western,  8,850  New-York  Central, 
8,975  Michigan  Central,  4,200  Bock  Island, 
8,600  St  Paul,  2,533  Delaware  and  Hudson,

London..  Auk.  7. — The  MarkZane  Express  in  its 

weekly  review  of  the  British  Com  trade  says  :  "  "Wh-iat 
may  now  l>e  considere*!  to  nave  reached  maturity,  and  In 
some  southern  districts  har\'csttug  has  commenced.  The 
crops  of  Wheat.  Barley,  and  Oats  in  the  fens_are  heE\y. 
but  badly  laid  by  rain,  and  almost  everj-where  the  fieloii 
have  a  more  or  le^s  ilingj'  appearance"  which  betokens 
blight,  but  the  harvest  is  now-  so  near  that  nothing  short 
of  a  disa.Ttrous  change  of  weather,  wliieh  is  v."'r\'  milike- 
ly.  can  iufinence  to  any  extent  the  yield  of  English  Wheat, 
wliich  most  probably  will  be  shf  irt*  of  an  average  crop,  al- 
thoueh  not  so  disappointing  as  last  year's.  After  a 
lengthened  periodcf  healthy  aetivitv  our  market  for 'Wheat

fnim  .\n,erica,  and  unless  the  reiwrts  ot  the  new  ^Vheat 
en-p  are  exaggerated,  both  India  and  Russia  will 
tlnii  her  a  formid-able  rival  for  the  supply  of  this 
eowntrr's  requirements-  The  supplici*  which  are 
p^ished  foi^anl  iu  the  Autumn,  are  likely  to  b<3 
heavy  this  year,  tspetrlally  as  ^ur  mnge  of  prices 
is  not  sulfleifcniiy  Jow  to  exorcist  any  re-training  itidu- 
ence.  and  there  is  not  much  cliance  of  the  Continent  re- 
lio\ing  us,  a*,  according  to  all  accounts.  Prance  will  have 
feujheieni  for  her  own  want*,  though  little  to  spare  for 
ours,  while  the  wheat  crops  of  Germany  and  Russia 
promKc  abundantly.  The  tone  of  our  local  trade  has 
been  dopresseil.  and"  prices  have  receded  Is.  on  both  Eng-

Jtlaizu  have  sold  (>d.  higher,  th<-  scarcity  of  the 
former  ha\'ing  strengthened  prices.  'Xhe  Oat 
trade  is  al&o  sready  in  the  face  of  large  arrivals, 
and  no  reduction  has'been  found  necessary  to  effect  sales. 
The  floating  cargo  trade  for  TTheat  is  very  stagnant,  and

Daniel  5.  £»£oo,  ot  the  firm  of  Chamberlain,  Cart«r 
A  KAtou,  and  Detectives  Field  and  O'Connor,  of  the 
District  Attorney's  oflSce,  entered  the  office  of  As- 
sistant District  Attom>97  Bell  and  remained  in  eon- 
Btiltation  a  coxisiderable  time.  Maxwell  was  nnder 
arrest  for  forgirg  acceptances  to  the  amount  of  ^3,- 
OOO,  and  the  history  of  the  case,  as  gleaned  from  the 
oflicials  of  tbe  District  Attorney's  office  and  Mr. 
Eaton,  isasfoUoirs:  Aireek  ago  last  Monday  Ur. 
Maxwell  made  an  assignment  for  the  benefit  of  his 
creditors.  His  debts  were  said  to  be  $66,000 
(including  the  forged  paper)  and  hia  nominal 
assets  $54,000,  which  were  estimated  at  $2^,000. 
He  had  been  in  business  for  12  rears  as  a  member  of 
the  firm  of  Maxwell  &  Payson^  but  for  the  last  two 
years  had  conducted  the  business  himself,  Mr.  Pay- 
eon  having  embarked  in  a  new  branch  of  trade.  He 
bnd  always  met  his  engagements  promptly,  and  had 
an  excellent  repatation  among  hts  commercial  asso* 
dates.  The  news  of  his  first  failure,  therefore, 
evoked  considerable  sympatiir  among  his  friends. 
Two  days  after  making  the  assignment  be  visited 
his  counsel.  Chamberlain,  Carter  &  Eaton,  and  in- 
formed them  that  in  the  endeavor  to  save  himself 
from  failure  he  had  negotiated  forged  acceptances  to 
the  amount  of  $33,000— $20,000  of  which  were  on 
the  Metropolitan  National  6ank.  $10,000  on  the 
Alarket  National  Bank,  and  $3,000  on  bis  former 
business  i^artner,  Mr.  S.  T.  Payson,  of  No.  33 
Cortlandt-street.  He  told  his  counsel  to 
•a!!     a      meeting      of      the      holders      of     the 

forged  paper,  and  put  them  in  possession  of  the  en- 
tire facts  of  the  case.  He  then  went  to  his  Summer 
residence  at  Sonthold,  Xxing  Island,  where  his  wife 
and  five  children  were  ata>'ing,  and  returned  on 
Priday  last  to  meet  the  victims  of  his  forgeries,  to 
whom  he  confessed  everything.  The  Directors  of 
the  Market  National  Bank  held' a  special  meetinz  the 
itame  day.  and  decided  on  commonicatine  with  the 
District  Attorney,  with  the  view  of  conmiendng 
criminal  proceedincs  a^rainst  Maxwell. 

Mr.  Eaton  went  before  the  IHrectors  and  appealed  . 
to  them  to  reconsider  their  determination,  offering 
«i  behalf  of  Mrs.  Maxwell  to  make  restitution  by 
turning  over  to  them  all  her  property.  The  bank 
JDirectors  decided  to  take  no  action  before  the  next 
meeting,  which  was  to  be  held  yesterday,  allowing 
MaxwdU  meanwhile  to  remain  in  the  custody  of  his 
counsel.  At  the  meeting  yesterday  Mr.  Eaton  again 
mppeared  before  the  Directors,  and  submitted  a  full 
Btatemfent  of  Maxwell's  assets  and  liabilities,  together 
with  the  certificate  of  William  A.  Harding,  an  expert 
In  figures  who  had  been  selected  by  the  Metropolitan 
>»'ational  Bank  to  Investigate  the  affairs  of  the  ac- 
cused, setting  forth  that  the  sums  realized  on  the 
Gorged  paperhadfoundtheir  way  into  the  regular  busi- 
ness of  Maxwell  and  been  lost  through  that  channel. 
Mrs.  31axwell  also  requested  permission  to  be  al- 
lowed to  go  before  the  IWrectors,  but  the  necessary 
Tiermission  was  not  grantei  After  fully  considering 
he  matter  the  Directors  of  the  Market  National 
Bank  decided  to  allow  the  law  to  take  its  course.  They 
expressed  the  utmost  sympathy  for  Mr.  Maxwell, 
who  had  had  an  account  with  them  for  15  years,  but 
itaid  that  they  felt  they  owed  a  duty  to  the  comrauni- 
tr.  and  should,  therefore,  commence  criminal  pro- 
ceedings. Accordingly,  they  dispatched  Mr.  Alexan- 
der Gilbert,  Ca^liier  of  the  bank,  to  the  office  of  Mr. 
Eaton,  where  Maxwell  was  awaiting  the  decision  of 
the  Directors.  Maxwell  expressed  his  entire  willing- 
ness to  surrender  liiniself.  and  accompanied  the  dj- 
tertives  to  the  District  Attorney's  office. 

The  prisoner  states  that  his  failure  was  not  brought 
Hibout  by  speculation,  or  anything  outside  his  legiti- 
mate buMness,  and  adds  that  it  was  caused  solely  by 
dullness  in  the  fruit  trade.  Finding  Ms  affairs  grow- 
Inc  rapidly  worse,  he.  in  a  vain  endeavor  to  stem  the 
tide  of  misfortune,  drew  drafts  on  his  customers, 
which  he  discounted  at  the  Market  National  Bank, 
and  paid  portions  of  his  debts  therewith.  The  forged 
paper  on  the  Metropolitan  Bank  he  disposed  of 
through  the  medium  of  brokers.  It  is  stated  that  the 
acrnseil  had  always  sustained  a  good  character  in  the 
commercial  community,  and  had  never  experienced 
any  difllcalty  in  obtaining  accommodation  at  any  of 
the  banks.  He  was  supposed  by  many  to  be 
perfectly  sound  financL-UIy. 'and  his  failure  was  there- 
'ore  a  surprise.  His  friends  hoped  that  the  matter 
could  be  settled  with  the  Directors  of  the  Market 
Bank  and  the  entire  affair  hushed  np.  but  are  now 
prepared  to  accept  th«  worst.  Maxwell's  cjwe  will 
probably  be  considered  by  the  Grand  Jur>*  to-day. 
and.  judging  from  the  demeanor  of  the  prisoner  and 
his  friends.  It  is  evident  that  he  intends  to  plead 
pjilty  and  offer  no  resistance  to  the  course  of  the 
law.  After  examininc  tho  case  thoroughly  Assistant 
IHstrict  Attoruev  Bell  directed  the  prisoner  to  be 
taken  to  tho  Tombs  to  await  the  action  of  the 
4>rand  'Jury.  After  an  affecting  interriew  with 
hi?*  wife  Maxwell  accompr.nied  Detectives  O'Con- 
nor and  Fields  to  the  Tombs  Police  Court. 
where  ho  was  brought  before  Judee  Smith  later  in 
the  afternoon,  and  was  arraigned  on  a  formal  charge 
inAde,by  Mr.  Alexander  Gilbert.  Cashier  of  the  Mar; 
kei  National  Bank,  who,  among  other  things,  charged 
that  he  f Maxwell)  forged  a  bUl  of  exchange  on  >V. 
I^-innemellar.  of  C-anton,  Ohio,  for  $1,158.  under 
date  of  July  0  last,  and  presented  the  same  to  the 
bank  in  the  usual  course  of  bnslneas.  Mr.  Maxwell 
pleaded  guilty  to  the  charge,  and  ho  was  committed 
to  the  Tombs  in  default  of  $.5,000  bail.  In  response 
to  the  usual  questions  put  to  prisoners  he  said  he 
was  42  years  old.  was  bom  in  Scotland,  and  resided 
in  Lafayette-avenue,  Brooklyn.

THE  WEW  lySUMAS^CE  LAW, 

A  GREAT  QtrANTITT  OF  ADVERTISING  MATE- 
RIAL AN*D  STATIONERY  RENDERED  USELESS. 
To-day  the  new  law  to  prerent  the  making  of 
false  or  deceptive  statements  by  fire  insurance  com- 
panies goes  into  operation-  The  law  requires  tho 
companies  to  remove  or  change  all  signs  which  do  not 
accurately  set  forth  tho  financial  condition  of  a  com- 
pany. The  law  provides  also  a  penalty  of  $500  in 
any  case  where  envelopes,  blotters,  cards,  poli- 
cies, or  advertisements  are  sent  out  presenting 
Btatements  not  warranted  bv  the  exliibit 
at  the  State  Departinent.  This  law  was 
particularly  aimed  at  the^foreien  fire  companies, 
which  have  been  in  the  habit  of  advertising  the  capi- 
tal of  the  home  offices — which  include  Hfe 
insurance — as  available  for  fire  losses  in 
the  United  States.  It  has  been  quite 
a  common  thing  for  the  fire  companies  to  make  capi- 
tal by  transposing  fizures.  For  instance,  several 
enmpanies  with  §1.200.000  in  assets  make  it  appear 
5;]  ^.000.000.  The  -Etna,  of  Hartford,  recently 
flooded  tnis  City  with  paper-cutters  •nVhich,  in  gold 
letters,  mav  be  found  "As.'tets.  $10,000,000."  The 
a.ssots  of  the  company  aggreeate  $7,000,000.  The 
new  law  will  result  in  considerable  expense  to  the 
companies  for  stationery,  for  there  is  scarcely  a  com- 
pany whose  advertisements  comoaro  correctly  with 
the  report  to  the  State  Department.  Tons  of  letter 
paper,  paper-qutters,  thermometers,  y«rd  measures, 
Ktle  clocks,  and  calenders  are  rendered  useless.

much  regret  that  any  reflections  have  been  cast  upon  tho 
jitr$onnel  of  your  department.  It  was  the  furthest  from 
my  thought  to  convey  in  my  report  an  Idea  of  inefBciency 
on."  your  part,  or  that  of  your  assistant.  Col. I 
Creney.  both  of  whom  I  know  to  he  a^^ive,! 
enentetic  offlcers.  You  are  Quite  riRht  in  sayine  that  I 
was  informed  by  CoL  Creney,  on  the  24th  ult.,  that  your 
department  could  not  at  once  furnish  the  neceMiar>' 
epuipment  for  field  serviee.  and  it  was  hoped  that  my 
formal  application,  In  writine.  of  that  date,  wonld  result 
in  your  notifyinn  rae,  upon  your  rptum  to  the  Ci^.  that 
you  nad  received  authoritv  to  purchase  them.  My  di«- 
appotntment  on  bein^  told,  on  the  26th,  that  yoQ  hiql 
not  that  anthority,  accounts  for  my  referring  in  the  re-

1  am  enabled  to  Btate,  and  I  do  it  very  cheerfully,  that 
every  demand  mode  by  me  upon  the  Ordnance  and 
Quartermaster's  Departments  for  supplies  kMcX  were  om

you  had  possessed  The  authority  to  purchase,  there  would

which  naturally  arises  on  the  part  of  the  general  pub

INSURANCE   NOTES. 

■  Keceiver  Wickharo,  of  the  Security  Life,  ex- 
pects to  make  his  report  and  a  dividend  among  the 
policy-holders  in  September  next.  Ho  is  awaiting 
only  a  decision  as  to  preferred  claims. 

The  opportunity  given  to  policy-holders  in 
the  Poptilar  Life  to  pay  any  premiums  due  up  to 
the  20th  by  Jtily  31  was  not  taken  to  any  extent. 
The  policy-holders  seemed  afr^d  to  risk  any  further 
imms.  even  with  the  prospect  of  ultimately  getting  a 
dividend.  / 

The  Receiver  of  the  North  Ameritn  Life  has 
put  in  a  demurrer  to  the  complaint  in  iBe  case  of 
Violetta  Bedell,  who  seeks  to  compel  the  company 
to  continue  its  business  and  remove  the  Receiver. 
Ex-Superintendant  Barnes  will  move  to  set  aside 
the  demurzer  as  frivolous. 

A  bearing  was  had  yesterday  before  Referee 
r.  V.  Fxaoch.  in  the  matter  of  the  Universal  Life  In- 
lujrance  Company.  Only  one  witness  was  called  and

POISONED  FISH  AT  THE  AQUARrUSI. 
On  Sunday  the  tropical  fishes,  which  occupied 
A  row  of  tanks  on  the  south  side  of  the  New- York 
A.qtiarinm  btiHdlng,  were  noticed  by  the  Snpeita- 
tendent  to  ac^}n  a  most  peculiar  xoanner,  remaining 
at  the  Korfaca  of  the  water  in  a  body,  and  endeavor- 
lug  at  times  to  jump  out  of  the  water.  Some,  time 
later  every  one  of  them  was  removed  from  the  tanks 
dead.  The  fishes  occupving  the  "60*foot"  tank, 
among  them  a  large  number  of  sharks,  herring,  and 
sturgeon,  also  died.  The  simultaneous  death  of  so 
many  of  the  ftsh  aroused  the  suspicious  of  t^e 
xuanager  of  the  establishment,  and  a  quantity  of 
the  wator  from  the  tank  was  placed  in 
a  bottle  and  sent  to  a  chemist  for  examination. 
"Upon  being  annlyxed,  large  ouantlties  of  lead  were 
discovered  In  the  water,  which  fact  verified  the  sus- 
picion that  tho  water  had  been  poisoned  by  some 
malicious  person.  Some  time  ago  the  death  of  two

A  NEW  PROTEST  FROM  PILOT  COSTMISSION'EF 
BLUNT  —  ANOTHER  CASE  AGAINST  THI 
POLICE  AtTTHORITIES.  '     ' 

PMlot  Commissioner  Blunt  is  a  man  not  easily 
driven  from  his  guard  over  the  harbor  of  New- York.! 
as  a  grteat  many  persons  know  to  their  very  serious 
annoyance.  "When  I  was  a  boy,"  he  says,  "  thc( 
bed  of  the  river  and  bay  was  clay  :  now  ni  wager 
good  round  sum  that  it's  composed  of  cinders  an< 
street  sweepings."  Not  content  with  watching 
work  of  lazy  captains  of  dumping-scows,  h^ 
has  ,4nfaafd  tnto  a  host  of  fishermen  and 
watermen  along  the  river  and  bay  shoi^s  a  feelinffof 
jealousy  similar  to  that  he  feels  himself,  and  woe  I  e' 
tide  the  person  or  persons  presuming  to  feel  that  they 
are  safe  at  any  time  of  night  In  attempting  to  drop 
ashes  or  street  dirt  into  tho  harbor  without  being 
seen  by  G.  W.  B.  or  some  of  his  henchmen.  It  can- 
not be  ascertained  that  he  actually  sends  a  spy  in  th« 
guise  of  an  Italian  on  every  dnmping-scow  ordered 
down  the  Bay,  but  there  are  grave  suspicions  thai 
such  is  the  fact.  Yesterday,  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Pilot  Commissioners.  Mr.  Blunt  unfolded  himself 
with  some  vehemence,  and  for  a  time  engaged  the  ati- 
tention  of  his  ft- Uow- Commissioners  to  the  latest  in- 
famy practiced  by  the  dumping-scows,  and  t5  a  re- 
porter of  The  Times,  he  said  at  the  cJose  of  the 
meeting  that  he  had  another  instance  of  criminjd 
carelessness  to  relate  on  the  part  of  the  Police  Coni- 
missioners.  He  had  jtist  presented  to  the  Commis- 
sioners some  facts  which  he  thought  were"  interest- 
ing. By  four  witnesses  he  is  able  to  prove, that  on 
the  mornings  of  July  30.,-and  Aug.  3.  at  4  Tj'clock, 
tne-boats,  at  onetime  the  U.  S.  Grant,  and  at  the 
oiner  tmknown.  brought  altogether  eight  scows  load- 
ed with  street  dirt,  down  the  Bay  to  a  point  between 
Fort  Lafayette  and  the  Staten  Island  shore,  and 
there  emptied  their  contents.  This  wss  riRht  In  thie 
channel,  where  it  is  very  narrow,  and  the  dnmplng 
was  evidently  done  at  an  upustial  hour  with  the  pur- 
pose of  evading  notice.  Mr.  Bhiiit  was  anthomed 
by  the  board  tn  present  the  facts  to  the  Grand  Jury. 
and  he  is  confident  that  he  has  a  clear  case  against 
the  Police  Coram wtsi oners.  The  amount  of  refu-w* 
thrown  into  the  channel,  if  the  scows  were  full,  wais 
about  l.GOO  tons.  j

the  Board  of  Health  :  Diinng  tho  week  ending  Satui|- 
day.  Aug.  4.  C50  deaths  were  reported  to  this  bu- 
reau, which  is  a  decrease  of  67  compared  with  thje 
number  of  deaths  reported  for  the  preceding  weelf, 
but  an  increase  of  41  as  compared  with  the  corr*- 
spoudintt  we«k  of  1876.  Tho  actual  mortality  far 
the  week  ending  July  28  was  718,  which  Ls  94  below 
the  average  mortality  for  the  past  five  years,  and 
represents  an  ammal  death-rate  of  34.62  per  l.OOD 
persons  liWng.  the  poptdation  estimated  at  1.078,102. 
In  reviewing  the  mortality  for  the  past  six  weeks,  it 
will  be  seen  that  during  this  period  4.194  deatlfs 
were  reported  at  this  bureau,  of  which  1,906  we»e 
children  under  one  year.  2.337  under  two,  and 
2.615  under  five  years.  One  death  was  from  small- 
pox, 36  from  measles,  104  from  scarlatina,  74  from 
diphtheria,  66  from  whooping-cough,  4  from  typh^ 
fever,  19  from  typhoid  fever,  and  1.633  from 
diarrheal  diseases — 1.510  of  which  were  children 
under  five  years  of  age.  This  compares  favorably 
with  the  total  uumber  of  deatlis  reported  for  the 
corresponding  weeks  of  1 376,  being  948  less.

kORTEM  STATEMENT. 
An  inveatigatioix  made  hy  a  Times  reporter 
Into    the   career    and   character    of   "Mrs."  Frank 
Holmes,  who  was  murderously  attacked  on  Tuesday 
ni^t  by  Thomas  Henry  Clark  at  No.  309  Lexington- 
avennje,  as  described  in  yesterday's  Tnsxs,  reveals  a 
very  singolar  state  of  afTairs.    The  woman  is  qnite 
well    known     at     several     places     in    this    City. 
Her  leal  name  is  not  Holmes  btit  Frances  J.  Hen- 
darsoh.    She   is   not    a  widow,    never  having  been 
married.    She  came  to  this  City  in  1871  from  East 
BostoiL    Her  parents  are  both  living  there  now,  as 
well  as  several  brothers  and  ebters.    One  of  her  sis- 
ters Is  married  to  a  Mr.  WUlard  a  well-known  livery- 
stable  keeper  in  the  suburb*  of  East  Boston  {  another 
sister  is  married  to  a  prominent  merchant  in  Boston, 
and  si  HI  another  is  married  to  a  business  man  in  this 


City, 


who 


Uves  at  Bath,  Long  Island. 
The  wife  of  one  of  the  Arm  of  Fay,  Hagan 
&  Co.,  Broadway,  near  Howard-street,  was  a  s^ool- 
mat«  of  Miss  Henderson.  When  the  latter  first  came 
to  New- York  she  found  board  with  Mrs.  Waters,  of 
No.  733  Broadway.  This  was  in  the  Spring  of  1871. 
She  then  made  her  living  by  teaching  music  and 
singing.  Mrs.  Waters  says  that  no  one  could 
have  been  more  amiable  or  ladylike,  or 
mnre  industrious  and  economical  than  "  Frank! e," 
a^  every  one  in  the  house  called  her,  wss.  Mrs. 
Waters  says  that  Miss  Henderson  saved  and  deposited 
in  a  City  bank  qoite  a  sum  of  money  while  boarding 
wit^W.  In  about  a  year  she  left  Mrs.  Waters' 
place,  ad^  returned  at  intervals,  stopping  only  a  few 
days  at  attete.  This  kept  up  until  1873.  During 
the  latter  year  Mrs.  Waters  says  that  "  Frankie"  be- 
came "allofasuddenverymuchcbanged."  Insteadof 
her  former  smooth  and  cheerful  disposition,  she  ex- 
hibited constant  gloominess  and  irritability.  She 
used  to  confide  in  Mrs.  Waters,  and  on  being  ques- 
tioned as  to  the  cause  of  the  great  change  in  her  con- 
duct, she  told  her  that  she  had  become  acquainted 
with  a  Thomas  Henry  Clark,  intimated  that  he  had 
betrayed  her,  and  said  that  "he bothered  the  life  out 
of  her."  It  appeared  also  that  after  Clark  had  com- 
pletely won  Miss  Henderson's  affections,  he  succeeded 
in  borrowing  all  the  money  she  had,  and  failed  to  re- 
turn it,  subjecting  her  to  treat  inconvenience.  Miss 
Henderson  never  would  tell  any  one.  not  even  Mrs. 
Waters,  the  reason  why  she  left  home.  All  the  in- 
formation she  ever  gave  was  that  her  folks  believed 
that  she  was  engaged  as  a  clerk  in  Butterwick's  pat- 
tern establishment,  and  she  wished  them  to  continue 
under  that  impression.  It  did  appear,  though,  that 
she  had  some  good  reason  to  leave  Boston. 

/Clark  came  to  this  <Mty  several  years  ago  from 
Ohio,  where  his  parents  still  reside.  He  became  in- 
terested in  several  boot  and  shoe  concerns,  and  last 
year  failed.  He  became  acquainted  with  Miss  Hen- 
derson, and  seemed  to  possess  her  entire  con- 
fidence. In  the,  eariy  part  of  last  Jan- 
uary he  had  made  arrangements  to  start 
again  in  business,  but.  owing  largo  sums  of 
ihoney  to  numerous  creditors  in  .the  City,  he  feared 
to  do  FO  In  his  own  name,  and  concluded  arrange- 
ments with  Miss  Henderson  to  use  her  name,  and 
with  a  man  named  Hneh  F.  Young  to  go  in  as  a  part- 
ner. Jil\  three  called  upon  Louis  Cohen,  an  at- 
torney, at  Ko.  2*29  Broadwav.  to  get  the 
necessary  papers  drawn  up.  The  agrccmeiDt 
being  satisfactory,  the  business  opened  at  No. 
HVt  Brpsdway,  under  the  name  of  Clark, 
Henderstn  Sc  Young.  l>oot  and  shoe  dealers.  Owine 
to  Clark's  mismanagement,  the  firm  soon  afterward 
had  to  make  .in  a.ssignment  for  the  benefit  of  its  cred- 
itors. Miss  Henderson  lost  her  last  dollar  by  this 
venture,  and  Mr.  Youug  lost  $600.  Soon  after  the 
failure  Clark  sued  Young  and  Henderson  for  wages 
during  the  time  he  was  in  the  firm,  but  dropped 
the  suit  for  fear  it  would  lead  to  unpleasant 
developments.  In  the  statement  made  to  the  credi- 
tors after  this  failure  Clark  characterized  Miss  Hen- 
derson as  his  cousin.  Hhv  denied  the  statement 
for  the  first  time ;  she  had  frequently  passed  as 
such  before  and  did  during  the  continuance  of  tho 
firm. 

At  this  time  Miss  Henderson  ceased  all  association 
iwith  Clark,  having,  a-s  she  says,  been  betr:iyed  by 
him  socially,  and  utterly  ruined  by  him  financially. 
and  looked  out  for  hen**»lf .  She  went  from  bad  to 
worse,  and  Clark's  friends  allege  that  she  became  a 
regular  inmate  of  hoiwes  of  ill-repute,  and  they  quote 
her  as  saying  that  she  •'would  follow  her  newly- 
adopted  life  until  she  died,  and  as  she  ban  been  mined 
and  swindle<l  by  men,  she  would  spend  the  balance 
of  her  life  in  swindling  all  th**  money  she  could  out 
of  every  man  she  met."  From  this  rime  she  refused 
to  have  any  interview  with  Clark,  notwithstanding 
his  persistent  following  and  persecution  of  her. 
It  Is  alleged  by  his  friends  that  Clark 
baa  been  of  unsound  mind  ever  since 
his  falltire  last  January,  and  that  now  he  is  entirely 
demented  and  irresponsible  for  hia  acts.  They  say 
that  none  but  a  lunatic  would  have  huuic  about  No; 
'200  Lexington -avenue,  the  house  wherein  Miss  Hen- 
derson wa.1  boarding,  as  he  had  dtme  before  the  as- 
ssnlt-  Last  May  Hark  was  hired  as  a  clerk  in  a 
stationery  store  on  Na.s«au  street,  but  was  discharged 
at  the  end  of  a  week  on  account  of  negligence. 
Thejiast  seen  of  him  before  he  made  his  desperate  as- 
sault on  Miss  Henderson,  w.is  during  Tuesday  after- 
noon- He  was  then  noticed  bv  friends  standing  at 
tho  I  comer  of  Eant  Thirteenth-street  and  Fourth- 
aveQue,  with  "  a  worn  and  wild  look  "  never  seen  on 
his  ^ce  before,  and  every  action  indicating  that  he 
was  in  some  trouble. 

Tlje  ante-mortem  statement  made  by  Jliss  Hender- 
son,,  otherwise  Mrs.  Holmes,  to  Coroner  Flanagan  is 
as  follows:  As  I  was  returning  home  about  3  o'clock 
P.  M.  on  Aug.  6,  I  saw  a  man.  whose  nnm©  1  refuse 
to  give  at  present,  standing  in  the  doorway  of  the 
fltal^e,  next  door  but  one  to  the  house  in  which  I 
reside.  Immediately  upon  reaching  my  door  he 
followed  me.  I  opened  and  partially  closed  the  door, 
and  he  pushed  it  open.  1  asked  him  what  he  wanted. 
He  closed  the  outer  door  behind  him,  and  then  and 
thcTiB  struck  me  upon  the  had  with  som*«  sharp  in- 
strument. I  then  became  unconscious.  This  is  all  I 
hav^  to  communicate.  her

'  Wihen  asked  if  she  thonght  she  would  live,  she 
said^  "I  think  I  may  get  better  ;"  and  in  answer  to 
the  [question,  "Have  you  any  hope  of  recovering!" 
she  answered,  "  I  have." 


SVIOIDE   OF  A   COMMERCIAL   TRAVELS: 

John  R.  Graham  committed  suicide  yesterday 
by  cutting  his  throat  with  a  razor;  at  St.  Peters 
Hotel.  No.  11  West  Eleventh-street.  He  was  fouild 
at  6  o'clock  in  his  bed  dead,  lying  in  a  pool  of  blood. 

Beside  him  was  lying  a  razor,  with  the  blade  tied 
back  on  the  luin^e.  He  %had  cut  himself 
from  the  left  ear  to  the  larynx,  severiijig 
both  the  carotid  artery  and  tho  jugular  vein.  Very 
little  is  known  of  the  deceased.  He  was  gentle- 
manly in  his  behavior  and  prompt  in  the  payment  of 
his  bills.  From  memoranda  left  by  bim  it  appears 
that  he  was  an  Englishman,  and  a  commercial 
traveler  for  a  dry  goods  house,  and  that  he  came  to 
this  country  last  May.  A  number  of  pool  tickets 
were  found  in  his  possession,  toeether  with  la 
memorandum  of  bets  at  Hoboken  and  elsewhere.  *

REPVBLICAN  KEORGANIZATION. 
On  the  17th  of  Jamiary  last  Mr.  Isaac  I. 
Dayton  presented  a  lengthy  series  of  resolutions  in 
the  Republican  General  Committee,  calling  for  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  Spe'*iai  Committee  to  inquire  whether 
there  ware  lu  the  various  districts  any  persons  who 
desired  to  enter  the  Republican  organizations,  and 
who  for  various  reasons  found  themselves  unable  to 
do  sa.  The  resolutions  were  referred  at  the  time, 
and  nothing  was  done  until  a  few  weeks  ago,  when 
it  wjia  announced  that  such  a  committee.  iK-lng  one 
menber  from  each  district  organiz^ion,  had  been 
appointed.  Last  nisht  this  committee  held  its  first 
meeting,  at  the  head-quarters,  comer  of  Thirty-third- 
street  and  Broadway.  The  meeting  was  only  for 
conference,  and  as  Mr.  Dayton  was  absent,  and  his 
resolutions  by  some  accident  were  not  in  tiie  posses- 
sion! of  tho  meeting,  an  informal  consultation  took 
p1a(^.  nnder  the  lead-of  Mr.  George  B1l'«,  on  the  res-

fuse to  support  a  nominee  of  the  party  who  should 
seem  to  him  unworthy  of  support,  and  is^n  the  line 
of  policy  to  which  Mr.  Dayton's  resolntii^ps  point. 
No  neflnite  conclusion  wa.s  arrived  at  by  tiiA  meeting. 
andliWwas  aereed  to  meet  again  on  the  same  day  next

I  SHOT  AND  ROBBED  AT  ROCKAWAY. 
Jacob  Federlein,  of  Williamsburg,  who  went 
to  Rbckaway  on  Sunday  last  with  some  friends,  is 
now  lying  in  St,  Catherine's  Hospital,  Brooklyn, 
witih  a  buUet  in  his  brain.  Coroner  Nolan  took  his 
ante-mortem  statement  last  night,  as  his  condition  is 
precarioua.  Federlein  states  that  he  was  as- 
saulted, robbed,  and  left  for  dead  upon  Rockaway 
Beach  on  Sunday  night,  and  that  when  he  recovered 
consciousness  ne  found  the  surf  beating  over 
him  on  the  sands.  He  reached  Krenscher's

there  tiblnkiug  he  was  drunk,  and  only  partially  be- 
lieving the  storj*  he  told.  He  was  taken  to  Brooklyn

BASE-BALL, 


GAME  <  BKTWEEN  THE  BOSTON  BED 
STOCEINOS  i  A^D  THE  HABTFOBDS  OF 
BEOOKLYK— ViCTOET  FOE  THE  BOSTO- 
KUKS.  ; 

Tbe  game  b6tve«n  the  Boston  Bed  Stockings 
and  tho  Brooklyn-Hartford  Club,  which  was  played 
on  the  Union  Grounds  yesterday,  was  without  excep- 
tion the  most  Interesting  event  of  that  kind  whi(^ 
has  taken  place  in  this  vicinity  during  the  season.  It 
wa3.,a  close  stru^le  throughput,  and  ended  in  a  vic- 
tory [for  the  Boston  players,  who  won  by  their  su- 
perior fielding.  It  'was  the  sixth  of  the  series 
of  championship  games  between  the  contesting 
clubs^  and  was  witnessed  by  a  large  and 
very  lenthusiastic  audience.     Play  was  commenced 

at4:i5P.M.,  with  the  home  club  at  the  bat,  Mr. 
Ducbarme,  of  the  Hudson  Club,  acting  as  umpire. 
The  [Bostonians  took  the  lead  in  the  first  Inning,- 
when  they  scored  ah  unearned  run  by  errors  of 
Start  and  Habridge.  In  tbe  second  inning  they  added 
anotber  run  to  their  score,  and  by  sharp  fielding 
blanked  their  opponlents,  leaving  toe  score  at  the 
close  of  the  inning  at  2  to  0  in  uieir  favor.  From 
this  point  out  tl^  Hartfords  went  to  work  with  a 
will  to  overcome  the  lead,  of  their  opponents,  and  in 
the  sixth  inning,  by  splendid  batting  and  base  run- 
ning i  on  the  part  of  Burdock,  scored  their  first 
run.  I  Neither  was  again  able  to  score  until  the  eighth 
inning,  when  tbe  Bostons,  by  hard  hitting  and  fast 
base  I  ninning,  succeeded  in  getting  another  man 
around  the  bases.  This  virtually  decided  the  game, 
as  the  Hartfords  in  the  next  inning  were  retired 
without  scoring.  Of  the  plav  shown  on  both  sides, 
Burdock's  second  base  work  was  the  feature  of  the 
game.  He  also  led  at  the  bat.  Brown  and  Sutton,  of 
the  Boston  Club,  did  the  host  fielding  and  batting  for 
their  side.    Following  is  the  score :

BEG  JINIKG  OP  THE  LAST  COMPETITION — THE 
SHOOTING  IMPAIRED  BY  A  THUNDER 
SHOWER. 
The  first  stage  of  the  fourth  and  last  compe- 
titiou  for  places  oti  the  Americau  International 
Tcau  to  shoot  for  the  Centennial  trriphy  took  place 
at  C]  eedmoor  yesterday,  and  will  terminate  to-day. 
The  Qiimber  of  competitors  was  reduced  from  30  to 
23.  Some  of  the  absentees  have  retired,  -vrhile 
otheii,  realizing  that  they  stand  no  chance  of  secur- 
ing I  laces  on  the  team,  have  withdrawn  altogether. 
When  the  conte.'it  commenced  at  the  fiOO  yards  range 
at  1 0:30  A.  M.  the  atmosphere  was  hazy,  and  the 
flags  hung  limp  from!  the  ma8^he3dB.  The  outlines  of 
the  1  lull'seyes  on  the  targets  were  scarcely  discerni- 
ble, put  in  the  ab.,ence  of  any  wind  the  majority  of  the 
competitors  tuade  good  scores.  Soon  after  12  o'clock, 
whi$B  the  match  was  in  progress  at  iK>0  yards,  a 
bre«ae  ^prune  up.whjch  soon  attnined  the  strength  of 
half  a  pale,  and  ■■inners"nnd  '"outers"  began  to  be 
algnklcd.  This  c4>ndition  of  weather  continued  until 
the  rillemen  had  flrefl  10  or  12  shots  at  1,(X)0  yards 
distance,  when  a  thunder  shower  burst  over  the 
ranire,  accompanied  by  violent  gusts  of  wind,  which 
blew  over  the  shelter  tents,  and,  although  it  did  not 
lAKt]lon£,  rendered  what  would  have  otherwise  been 
good  scores  only  mediocre.  The  absentees  were  Col. 
Bodine,  Messrs.  Hebbard,  Rabheth,Weymys.s,  White, 
Scj)1:t.  Clark,  and  Crowell.  The  total  scores  made  at 
each  range  were  as  follows :

TBE  COBDEN  STATUE  AT  BRADFOBD, 


A  FEW  FACTS  ABOUT  THE  AMEBICAST  CmZEN 
WHO  PROVIDED  THE  FXJND  TO  BTJILD 
THE  MONUMENT. 
A  report  has  already  been  published  in  The 
Times  of  the  exercises  attending  the  tmveiling  of  the 
statue  of  Richard  Cobden  recently  finished  and  ex- 
posed to  the  public  in  the  Exchange  by  Mr.  John 
Bright.  The  accounts  simply  stated  that  the  work 
was  the  gift  of  an  American  citizen,  and  mentioned 
the  name  of  Mr.  G.  H.  Booth  as  the  giver  of  the 
£1,000  which  paid  for  the  work.  On  the  monu- 
ment is  an  inscription  as  follows  :  "  This  statue  Is 
the  gift  of  the  late  GeOrge  Henry  Booth,  a  citizen  of 
the  ITnited  States  of  America,  and  is  inteuded  to 
mark  his  appreciation  of  the  character  and  labors  of 
the  late  Richard  Cobden,  as  well '  as  to  serve 
as  a  memorial  of  the  donor's  residence  for 
man  y  years  as  a  merchant  in  Bradford- ' '  Mr. 
Booth  came  frxjm^nghkeepsie,  and  in  1853  estab- 
lished himself  in  business  In  Bradford.  He  tn  time 
became  senior  partner  of  the  firm  of  Firth.  Booth  & 
Co.,  acquiring  not  only  riches  in  money,  but  the  es- 
teem and  good  will  of  all  with  whom  he  became 
ftcqaaintod.  In  this  City  he  conducted  the  branch  of 
the  Bradford  houae  in  connection  with  the  firm  of 
Marsh,  Fisher  &  Booth,  and  be  was  well  known 
by  thousands  of  merchants  who  formerly 
met  him  in  a  business  and  sociid  way. 
He  retired  from  active  business  in  1872,  when  he 
began  a  pleasure  tour  of  Europe  in  company  with 
his  wife,  intending  at  the  close  of  the  journey  to  re- 
turn to  his  native  land  to  spend  the  remainder  of  his 
days  at  home.  While  in  Paris,  Jtine  5,  1S73.  his 
wife,  who  had  suffered  with  the  Roman  fes-er,  died. 
Her  body  was  sent  on  to  New-York,  and  15  days 
afterward.  Mr.  Booth,  who  had  been  deeply  affected 
by  his  bereavement,  was  prostrated  with  apoplexy, 
and  his  bodv  followed  That  of  his  wife,  to  be  buried 
■with  it  in  the  same,  j3Tave  at  Poughkeepsie.  where  a 
handsome  monument  marks  their  resting  place. 
ilr.  Booth  left  four  children,  but  strar^ce  to  's.ay.  not 
one  of  the  family  were  present  at  the  unveiling  of 
the  statue,  nor  so' much  as  one  known  representative 
oi*  the  United  States. 


THE  STRIKE  AT  PORT  JOHNSON. 
There  has  been  no  outbreak  among  the  coal 
wheelers  and  heavers  employed  on  the  coal  docks  at 
Port  Johnson.  The  strikers  hung  arotmd  the  lower 
ward  of  Bayonne  in  large  numbers  all  day,  but  no  se- 
rious disturbance  occurred  amonj;  them.  Verj-  many 
of  the  new  men  employed  on  Monday  morning  failed 
to  put  in  an  appearance  yesterday,  owin^  to  the 
difficult  character  of  the  work.  The  men  are  taken 
in  a  tugboat  from  New- York  City  to  the  docks  in 
the  morning,  supplied  with  their  meals 
on  the  dock,  and  taken  back  at  evening.  Yesterday 
morning  about  30  of  those  who  were  at  w^ri;  Mon- 
day steamed  to  the  docks  yesterday-  They  were  ac- 
companied by  a  new  lot  of  50  men.  Some  Italians 
were  among  them,  but  most  of  them  were  Germans. 
They  found  the  labor  a  hard  one  to  "perform,  and 
some  of  th  m  said  that  had  they  been  aw^ire  of  that 
fact  they  would  not  have  sone  to  work.  It  is  doubt- 
ful if  more  than  half  of  the  new  hands 
put  on  yesterday  will  show  up  at  their 
places  this  jnoming.  The  strikei^  are  confident  that 
thecompany  will  notheable  to  supply  their  places, 
and  say  that  within  a  week  the  company's  experience 
with  jrreen  hands  will  con\nnre  them- of  the  neccKsiry 
of  acceding  to  the  denianSs  of  their  employes-  "  W© 
will  give  them  a  week^  said  one  of  the  strikorK, 
j>ointing  to  the  new  i^n  yesterday,  '•to  experi- 
ment with  that  gang.  They  will  be  sat- 
i.'ified  by  that  time  that  they  can  do 
nothing  with  them  except  send  them  away." 
A  party  of  special  policemen,  paid  hy  tbe  railway 
company. -are  under  arms  in  the  Bayonne  Police  Sta- 
tion, ready  for  dntT,'  at  a  moment's  notice,  and  Sheriff 
Laverty  still  keeps' his  posse  of  deputies  at  the  Cf.art- 
house,  in  Hudson  City,  subject  to  call  Mayor  Slcies 
addressed  the  strikers  Monday  night,  advising  them 
to  desist  from  all  acts  of  \iolence.  ^V^lile  he  spoke,  a 
hoy  in  the  crowd  shied  an  old  shoe  at  him.  The 
sinters  sought  out  the  offender  and  drove  him  from 
their  midst.  Half  a  dozen  of  the  outside  pang  be- 
came encaKcd  yesterday  afternoon  in  an  altercation 
]>etween  themselves,  and  hii:h  woqjs  over  the  ad- 
vL*8bility  and  probable  fruits  of  the  strike,  soon  le<i 
to  blows.  One  of  the  party  was  pushed  or  thrown 
into  the  ri^'er.  but  he  swam  to  the  shore  unhurt. 
The  Police  quickly  suppressed  the  disturbance, 

ELOPING  WITH  HIS  WIFBS  SISTER. 
^  Yesterday  mominc  a  woman,  her  eyJs  red 
with  weeping,  accompanied  by  two  Htde  boys  cling- 
ing to  her  skirts,  approached  Justice  Guck,  of  Brook- 
Ij-n,  and  demanded  a  warrant  for  her  husband's  ar- 
rest. In  a  voice  broken  with- sobs  she  stated  that 
he  bad  ran  away  with  her  sister,  a  girl  16  years  old, 
lea'-ing  her  and  her  children  penniless.  This  man's 
name  is  Jacob  Kester,  a  butcher,  residine  comer  of 
Bogart  and  Rock  streets.  Williamsbure- 
He  has  been  married  10  years.  His  wife 
never,  she  said,  for  a  moment  thought  that 
he  would  leave  her.  Last  Sunday  momlnir 
as  he  left  the  house  she  bade  him  carelesslv  good-by. 
n'^quesling  him  to  leave  her  75  cents — he  had  taken 
all  the  ready  money  in  the  house,  over  $100.  Not 
returning  in  the  evening,  she  spent  all  day  Monday 
searching  for  him  in  New- York.  In  the  evening  her 
mother,  with  whom  her  sister  Henrietta  resided. 
a  block  from  her  home,  told  her  that  her  husband 
and  her  sister  had  run  away  together.  The  girl's 
name  is  Henrietta  Schmidt.  The  money  deposited 
in  the  bank  she  a^ertained  had  been  ^rawn  out 
bust  Saturday  by  her  husband.'  The  eloping  couple, 
it  is  thought,  have|;one  to  Philadelphia. 


A  DESPERATE  ATTEMPT  AT  SUICIDE. 
A  Newark  druggist  named  Theron  W,  Van 
Giesen  made  a  desperate  attempt  to  commit  suicide 
yesterday.'  He  had  been  acting  strangely  all  the 
mnmine:.  and  about  10  oVlock  went  into  the  yard, 
taking  with  him  a  Sharpe's  rifle  he  kept  in  the  s"tore. 
A  clerk  who  was  watching  his  actions  saw  him  cock 
the  rifle,  and  rushed  oat  m  time  to  seize  his  arm  and 
prevent  him  discharging  the  weapon.  Mrs.  Van 
Giesen  ran  to  the  clerk's  assistance,  and.  her  screams 
alarming  the  neighbors,  two  gentlemen  who  were  in 
an  adjoining  .store  came  in.  and  the  three  men.  after 
a  desperate  straggle,  succeeded  in  disarminff  Van 
Giesen.  The  latter  recovered  the  weapon,  however, 
and  started  for  a  hardware  store  to  get  some  more 
ammcnition.  but  in  the  meanwhile  the  Police  were 
called  and  he  was  taken  into  custody.  He  is  said  to 
be  insane.        •  _

Augusta,  Me.,  Aag.  S.— Not  since  the 
doee  of  the  war,  even  when  there  has  been  an 
exciting  contest  for  the  GoTemorship,  hag  a  Re- 
publican State  Convention  in  Maine  been  so  full 
of  interest  as  Is  the  one  of  to-morrow.  Only  a 
small  proportion  of  the  delegates  have  snived 
this  evening.  The  great  bulk  of  them  will  come 
on  extra  trains  in  the  morning.  There  is,  how- 
ever, an  tinusual  attendance  of  the  leading  men 
of  the  party,  and  the  hotels  are  thronged  with 
politician3.  notwithstanding  that  there  is  an  ab- 
sence of  Federal  office-holders.  What  the 
convention  will  do  is  the  all  absorbing  topic. 

Gov.  Conner  will  be  renominated  by  acclam- 
ition.  so  all  interest  centres  in  the  position  to 
be  taken  towitrd  the  Administration.  There  is 
a  marked  diversity  of  opinion  among  the  leading 
men  now  here  as  to  what  the  convention  ought 
to  do,  and  what  it  will  do,  and  it  cannot  be 
iccurately  stated  to-night  what  its  action  will 
be.  Some  members  of  the  convention  will 
?rame  a  resolution  giving  a  decided  approval  of 
the  President.  Such  a  re-wlution  is  understood 
in  have  the  indorsement  of  ex-Gov.  Per- 
ham,  ex-Gov.  Chamberlain,  Hon.  John 
B.  Brown,  Hon.  John  H.  Burleigh, 
Hon.  Nathan  Farwell,  Gen.  E.  B. 
Shepherd.,  and  Hon.  Harris  31.  Plaisted.  Ex- 
Gov,  Morrill,  brother  of  ex-Senator  Morrill,  and 
ex-Gov.  Dtngley  advise  the  passage  of  a  resnln- 
tion  simply  declaring  faith  in  the  character, 
patriotism,  services,  and  declared  purposes  of 
I*resident  Hayes.  Many  of  the  leading  men 
urge  that  the  convention  should  pass  a  resolu- 
tion censuring  the  President  for  his  order  pro- 
hibiting office-holders  from  participating  in 
doing  party  work,  and  for  his  Southern 
policy.  Resolutions  will  unquestionably  be 
offered  covering  these  different  views.  The 
large  majority  of  the  leading  politicians 
present  are  very  earnest  in  declaring  that 
the  harmony  and  success  of  the  party 
will  best  be  subserved  by  the  adoption  of  a 
platform  which  will  be  a  plain  and  exhaustive 
declaration  of  the  creed  of  the  Republican  Party.- 
and  neither  indorse  nor  condemn  the  Southern 
policy  or  Civil  Service  policy  of  President 
Hayes.  This  course  is  urged  by  Senator  Blaine  ; 
Representative  Beed.  of  the  Portland  Di.strict ; 
Hon.  Lewis  Barker,  Charles  A.  Boutelle,  of  the 
Bangor  Whig  ;  Stanley  T.  Pullen,  of  the  Pon^ 
land  Preis  ;  Alden  Spragne.  of  the  Kennebec 
Jownvd ;  Hon.  .  J.  H.  Drummond,  Hon. 
Charles  J.  Talbot,  Hon.  Hiram  Knowl- 
Um,  Hon.  Seth  L.  MiUiken,  Hon.  Eu- 
gene Hale,  and  Gen.  George  L.  BeaL  It 
»lso  has  the  approval  of  Senator  Hamlin,  who, 
ao-wever,  will  not  be  present  at  the  convention, 
rhere  wouJd  be  no  opposition  to  this  course  if 
"it  were  not  that  manv  would  regard  an  omission 
to  indorse  President  Hayes  as  an  indirect  attack 
upon  bim.  The  present  indications  are  that  the 
course  advocated  by  Senator  Blaine  will  be 
adopted  by  the  convention.'  .411  agree  to  the 
passage  of  a  resolution  affirming  faith  in  the 
validity  of  the  President's  title.  The  conven- 
tion wUl  take  strong  ground  in  favor  of  a  re- , 
sumption  of  specie  pa3nnents  at  the  time  fixed 
upon  by  Congress,  and  will  protest  against  any 
radical  change  in  the  Navigation  laws.  It  will, 
of  course,  renew  its  faith  in  prohibition. 

The  convention  will  be  called  to  order  by  Sen- 
»tor  Blaine.  The  Chairman  of  the  State  Com- 
mittee, Hon.  Josiah  H.  Drummond,  of  Portland, 
will  be  selected  as  President.  Francis  Fessen- 
den,  of  Portland,  a  son  of  the  late  William  Pitt 
Fessenden,  was  selected  to  preside,  but  cannot 
be  present  owing  to  sickness  m  his  family.  The 
convention  may  present  stormy  scenes  before  it 
cIo9e.s.  It  does  not  seem  possible  to-night  for  it 
to  escape  a  warm  discussion.  Representative 
Hale  is  accompante<l  by  Senator  Don  Cameron, 
of  Pennsylvania,  who  has  been  visiting  Mr.  Hale.

Richmond,  Va.,   Aug.    8. — The  Virginia 
Conservative  State  Convention  met  at  noon  in 
the  theatre,  but  owing  to  an  indiscriminate  is- 
sue of  admission  tickets,  or  otherwise,  that  part 
of  the  building  set  apart  for  the  delegates  was 
BO  overcrowded  by  outsiders  that  when  an  effort 
was  made  to  caU  the  convention  to  order,  with  a 
view    of  a   temporary  organization,  it  proved 
a   faUnre.      The  utmost   confusion   and    dis- 
order prevailed.     Shouts,  hisses,  and  all    man- 
ner of    noises  drowned  the  voices   of    all  those 
who    endeavored  to  bring  order  out  of    chaos. 
After  half  an  hour  had    elapsed,  during    which 
DO  progress  had  been  made  toward  an  organiza- 
tion,   a   motion  to    adjourn    till  2  P.  M.    was 
adopted. 

The  convention  reassembled  at  2:20,  and  the 
de'.egates  being  all  seated,  the  Chairman  of  the 

State  Committee  announced  that  CoL  William 
Lamb,  of  Norfolk,  had  been  selected  as  tempor- 
ary Chairman.  The  appointment  was  confirmed 
by  an  overwhelming  vote,  and  Coi  Lamb  pro- 
ceeded to  address  the  convention.  He  spoke 
without  interruption  for  several  minutes,  and 
was  laimching  forth  in  a  strong  speech  in  favor 
pf  preserving  the  credit  of  the  Commonwealth, 
when  he  was  asked  if  that  question  was  then 
under  discussion.  He  replied  that  it  was  not 
yet  in  order  to  criticise  the  speech  of  the 
Chairman.  He  then  attempted  to  proceed 
in  the  same  strain  in  advocacy  of. 
maintaining  the  State's  honor,  but  the  inter- 
ruptions became  so  frequent  and  the  confusion 
so  great  that  he  was  forced  to  discontinue. 
Resolutions  were  then  introduced  for  the  ap- 
pointment of  Committees  on  Credentials,  Per- 
manent Organization,  and  on  Resolutions.  The 
6rst  two  resolutions  were  adopted  amid  much 
disorder,  but  the  third  was  laid  aside  till  a 
permanent  organization  was  effected.  Upon 
a  call  of  delegations  by  Congressional  Districts 
U>  name  members  of  these  comtnittees,  another 
scene  of  turbulence  and  disorder  ensued- 
Several  of  the  districts  being  divided  in  their 
jhoice.  and  it  being  evident  that  no  settlement 
could  be  arrived  at.'they  were  allowed  to  retire 
for  consultation.  The  interior  of  the  .theatre 
was  a  perfect  pandemonium,  the  body  being 
more  like  a  disorganized  mob  than  an  organized 
sonvention. 

The  most  bitter  antagonism  prevails  between 
triends  of  the  candidates,  particularly  so  be- 
tween those  of  Gen.  Hahone  and  the  Anti- 
Mabonites.  During  the  absence  of  the  delega- 
tions, who  had  retired  to  heal  their  differences. 
Gov.  Kemper,  being  present  by  invitation, 
briefly  addressed  the  convention,  counseling  such 
darmony  in  their  deliberations  as  would  per- 
petuate the  dignity,  honor,  and  glory  of  Vir- 
[CV}i».  After  tne  announcement  of  Committees 
!>n  Credentials  and  Organization  the  convention 
Miioumed  till  8  P.  M. 

When  the  convention  reassembled,  at  8 
9'cloek,  the  Committee  on  Permanent  Organi- 
»tion  reported  the  name  of  Marshall  Hanger, 
»f  Augusta  County,  as  permanent  Chairman, 
with  a  long  list  of  Vice-Presidents,  and  the 
report  was  Mreed  to  without  serious  opposi- 
tion. Mr.  Hanger,  in  assuming  the  chair, 
addressed  the  convention,  counseling 
harmony,  calm  deliberation,  &c.  A  resolution 
was  passed  providing  that  no  man  shall  be 
placed  in  nomination  for  Governor  who  does 
sot  pledge   UmaeU  to  abide  by  any  result 


reached  by  the  oonvention  and  rive  to.  the 
ticket  bis  support.  A  Committee  on  Resolutions 
was  appointed.  The  Committee  on  Credentials 
was  not  ready  to  report.  The  convention  ad- 
journed until  9  A.  M.  to-morrow. 

The  session  to-night  was  in  marked  contrast 
as  regards  harmony  to  the  two  sessions  of  to- 
day. Xone  of  that  riotous  confusion  which 
then  prevailed  was  manifest.  The  indications 
now  are  that  everthing  will  pt^  off  quietly  to- 
morrow, and  result  in  Harmonizing  uie  antag- 
onistic elements.

Landing,  a  picnic  resort  down  the  harbor, 
is  on  the  invitation  of  Samuel  Downer, 
who  was  one  of  the  original  mem- 
bers of  the  party.  Some  200  invit^ons 
have  been  issued,  and  among  those  who  will 
probably  be  nresent  and  deliver  speeches  at  the 
feast  of  reason  which  is  to  follow  the  clam-balce, 
are  men  of  all  shades  of  present

which  nominated  Van  Buren  and  Adams  for 
President  and  Vice  President  The  Free  Soil 
Party  was  founded  at  Worcester,  Mass..  29 
years  ago.  by  Charles  Francis  -idams.  Stephen 
C.  Phillips,  Charles  Sumner,  Henry  Wil- 
son, and  Charles  -Allen.  Sumner  was 
the  orator,  Wilson  the  organizer,  and 
Phillips  the  man  who  wielded  the-  most  influ- 
ence among  the  Whigs.  Charles  AllenVas  the 
only  Free  S  liler  elected  to  Congress,  where  he 
made  a  failure,  and  soon  retired  from  politics. 
Phillips  died  in  the  harness,  and  his  place  was 
filled  by  Sumner  and  Wilson.  Charles  Francis 
.Adam.emanage-l  the  Free  Soil  organization  afterit 
was  launched  in  1 848.  The  other  leading  Free 
Soilers  were  Charles  iGiddings,  Root,  Wade,  and 
Hale.  Henry  Wilson  being  the  chief  spirit  ifli 
the  formation  of  the  p^rsfiunel  of  the  conven- 
tion, he  prevented  Charles  Frsincis  Adams 
and  John  G.  Palfrey  from  entering 
the    remarkable     convention,    but     did     not 

Erevent  Richard  H.  Dana  from  getting  in  from 
is  country  seat  in  Manchester.  Marcus  Morton 
also  got  in.  The  new  constitution  was  defeated 
under  fh'>  leadership  of  Henry  Wilson.  The 
Know-Nothing  Party  was  fortned  soon  after, 
and  many  Free  Soilers  joined  'it,  including 
Wilson.  Anson  Bitrlingame.  Judge  Ru.sseU. 
John  L.  Swift,  and'  Charles  W.  Slack ; 
but  Charles  Francis  Adams,  the  two  Hoars, 
Francis  W.  Bird,  Charles  O.  Davis,  and  Willard 
P.  Phillips  refused  to  follow  Wilson's  lead  into 
the  Know-Xothing  Party,  but  joined  with  him 
in  the  formation  of  the  Republican  Partv  in 
1856.  ■

"WA.SHlNnTON,  .-Vug.  S. — Secretary  Sher- 
man, who  leaves  for  Ohio  on  Friday  nest,  visits 
that  State  for  the  purpose,  amon;  other  things, 
of  making  certain  inquiries  into  the  record  of 
Jlr.  Bishop,  the  Democratic  candidate  for 
Governor.  That  gentleman,  it  is  rumored 
here ,  has  been  extensively  engaged  in  frauds 
upon  the  internal  revenue.  Secretarv  Sherman 
is  believed  to  have  a  clue  to  the.*  trans- 
actions, and  will,  of  course,  investigate  and 
expose  them.  The.'se  and  stories  of  a  like 
nature  which  are  current  here  to-night  are 
given  for  what  thoy  are  worth.  They 
cannot  be  traced  to  any  authentic  source, 
but  they  have  certainly  given  great 
uneasiness  to  prominent  "Democratic  poli- 
ticians in  Washington.  Information  received 
here  within  the  past  few  days  points  to  a  serious 
rupture  between  the  Matthews  and  Garfield 
wings  of  the  Republican  Party  in  Ohio.  The 
Secretary  will  do  his  utmost  to  heal  these  dif- 
ferences, he  says,  but  should  they  continue,  it 
is  believed  hero  that  he  would  not  object  him- 
self to  taking  the  United  States  Senatorship 
which  will  be  made  vacant  by  the  expiration  of 
Mr.  Matthews'  term.

Philadelphia,  Aug.  8. — Col.  McClnre 
this  evening  read  a  dispatch  from  Capt.  Mc- 
Clelland, Chairman  of  the  ■Democratic  State 
Committee,  saying  the  Democratic  State  Con- 
vention will  be  held  at  Harrisburg  on  the  22d 
of  August.  During  the  past  two  weeks 
a  combination  was  formed,  in  which 
it  was  believed  Wallace  and  Randall  joined 
hands,  favoring  the  postponement  of  the  con- 
vention until  after  the  Republicans  held  theirs, 
as  it  was  deemed  advisable  on  the  ground  that  it 
would  be  impolitic  for  such  imprudent  people  as 
the  majority  of  Democrats  to  attack  the 
labor  problem,  or  frame  a  platform 
containing  a  plank  on  this  question, 
without  first  havinir  some  work  by  intelli- 
g  nt  Republicans  to  guide  them.  The  idea  of 
postponing  the  convention,  it  was  thought,  had 
prevailed ;  but  it  Is  stated  from  up  the  State 
that  a  couple  of  parties,  possibly  Schell  and 
Noyes,  hearing  that  if  the  convention  was  de- 
layed their  chances  of  being  nominated  would 
fail,  prevailed  on  Chairman  McClelland  to  al- 
low the  labor  question  to  take  care  of  itself,  and 
see  that  their  chances  of  nomination  were  not 
impaired.

Washington,  Aug.  8.— The  visit  to  Wash- 
in  gton  of  I  Mr.  John  Jay  and  Lawrence  Tumure, 
ol  the  New-York  Custom-house  Commission, 
hi  8  agaii^  revived  the  rumors  of  contemplated 
d  anges  there.  The  gentlemen  named  arrived 
hire  yesterday  morning.  To-day  they  had  along 
oc  Qversaljion  with  Secretary  Sherman  with  ref- 
ei  Bnce  t<J  the  various  subjects  referred  to  the 
cc nuniasion,  in  connection  with  the  admlnistra- 
tii  in  of  the  Customs  service  at  New-York.  It 
w  1]  be  remembered  that  during  the  sessions  of 
tie  commission  members  of  the  New- York 
C  lamberlof  Commerce  made  numerous  sugges- 
tii  ns  touching  the  wisdom  and  utility  of  some 
03  isting  Revenue  laws,  and  upon  these  subjects 
tl  B  commission  is  expected  to  make  re- 
ptrt.  It  was  mainly  upon  these  questions, 
w  lich  may  be  called  to  the  attention  of  Con- 
gi  ess  by  I  the  Secretary  in  his  annual  report, 
th  at  the  interview  between  the  Commissioners 
ai  d  the  Secretary  was  held.  In  this  connection  it 
cs  n  be  confidently  stated  that  the  much-talked-of 
cl  anges  in  the  principal  places  nt  the  New-York 
Custom-house  have  not  at  any  time  been  the  sub- 
je  ;t  of  discussion  at  the  Cabinet  meetings.  It  can 
ft  rther  le  stated  upon  the  best  authority  that 
n(  removals  will  be  made  until  Secretary  Sher- 
m>n  returns  from  his  contemplated  Western 
tr  p.  There  is  a  disposition  hero  to  make  some 
CO  ncessions  to  the  so-called  Liberal  element  of 
tue  Republican  Party  in  New- York  State,  and  it 
Is  generally  believed  in  Wa.«hington  that 
G  sn.  Sharpe,  the  Surveyor,  will  be  made 
tne  victim  of  this  disposition.  His  term 
oij  office  has  already  expired,  and  the  friends  of 
other  caildidates  urge  that  bus  re-appointment 
wbuia  belcontrary  to  the  civil  sen-ice  rules.  In 
waat  way  those  much  talked  of  regulations 
w  >uld  be  I  violated,  however,  is  not  specillcaUy 
stateil.  There  have  been  no  additions  as  yet 
t<^  the  list  of  candidates  for  his  posi- 
tion, but  Gen.  Merritt,  the  protiSgi^  of  ex- 
Gov.  Fenton,  is  believe<l  to  be  most  favored  by 
those  in  authority.  There  is  no  probabilitv 
that  there  will  be  any  change  made  in  the  heaj 
ol  the  Custotba  Department  in  New- York,  Mr. 
Js  y,  it  is  pinted.  would  not  refuse  to  accept  the 
pcsition  of  Collector,  but  Gen.  .\rthur  is  to 
uiiversally  indorsed  by  the  business  communi- 
ty] that  his  removal  is  considered  out  of  the 
qitestion.!

Washington,  Aug.  S.— Gen.  Banks  is 
brought  into  unpleasant  notoriety  here  in  con- 
nection with  a  divorc6ca.se.  John  Q.  Thomp- 
son, an  Indiana  newspaper  man,  brings  suit  for 
divorce  against  his  wife,  who  has  been  em- 
pl>yed  in  the  Treasury  Department  here, 
clargingj  limong  other  things,  that  she 
hi  a  at  divers  times  and  in  sundry 
pi  ices  committed  adultery  with  Gen.  N.  P. 
tt  inks  and  others,  specifying  several  occasions 
d  tring  tjhe  years  1872  and  1873.  He  al.so 
cl  arges  that  Banks  obtained  for  her  a  position 
in  the  Treasury  Department,  and  that  while 
tl  ere  she  lived  as  his  mistre.s.s.  Mrs. 
Tiompson  had  previously  brought  suit 
against.  |  her  husband  for  divorce,  al- 
leging that  he  has  failed  to  provide  for  her 
St  pport  for  the  last  five  years,  and  has  been  un- 
fa ithf  ul  to  his  marriage  vows.  This  suit  came 
01   during  the  Special  Term  of  the  Supreme 

0  urt,  sitting  with  equity  jurisdiction  for  the 
m  onth  of  July  last,  and  Justice  Wylie  made  a 
d<  cree  granting  divorce  to  Mrs.  Martha  S. 
T  lompsoh  from  her  husband,  John  Q.  Thomp- 
.so  n.    The  declaration  of  the  petitioner  showed 

tfc  at  the  parties  were  mairied  on  Christmas  day. 
in  the  year  I8.5JS,  and  thai  two  childreu  were 
ti  e  result  of  that  marriage.  She  alleged  that 
h<  had  neglected  to  support  his -faraiiy  for 
tl  e  past  five .  years,  spent  his  earnings  in  (li.s.si- 
p:  tion,  treated  her  with  c^uplt^■,  and  was  the 
ca  use  of  her  being  discharged  from  a  Govem- 
m  ?nt  place.  The  day  succeeding  that  on  whir  h

di  y  on  ccjndition  that  answer  was  filed  by  the 
d(fend.int  within  10  days.  This  was  done  on 
T  lesday.jand  the  husband  recites  that  the  com- 
pl  iinant  im^ituted  a  similar  suit  in  the  State  of 
Ii  diana,  and  said  that  she  was'  a  resident  of 
tl  at  State.     He   charges,  that  she  has  failed  to 

01  serve  her  marriage  vows,  and  accu-ses  her 
ol  improper  conduct  with  Eddio  JuUien 
in  1862,  with  Miles  Hubbard  Thompson, 
a  clerk  in  the  Treasury  Department,  in 
N nember,  1S64,  at  the  Metropolitan  Hotel,  at 
a  tiouse  on  Thirteenth-street,  between  I-street 
aid  New-York-avenue,  and  on  Sixth-street, 
uf  ar  D-street.  He  also  discovered'  a  corre- 
sj  ondence  carried  on  between  her  and  M.  H. 
Tiompson  in  December,  1S67,  which  was 
wong  and  for  a  wicked  object,  and  which 
T  lompson  admitted  was  so.  The  husband 
ft  rther  alleges  that  she  was  guilty  of  improper 
in  tercourpe  with  Nathaniel  P.  Banks  at  differ- 
ei  t  timef ,  and  with  one  Joe  Kendall,  at  the 
residence  of  her  mother,  in  Shelbyville,  Ind.,  in 
tie  years  1872  and  1873.  He  asks  the  court 
to  dismiss  the  bill  in,  so  much  as  granting*  a

Washington,  Aug.  8. — Lazarus  Silver- 
m  in,  whq  brings  the  charges  against  Mr.  Free- 
la  id,  Colliector  of  Internal  Revenue  in  Brook- 
ly  1,  i»  said  to  be  acting  in  the  interest  of  Gen. 
E-  L.  Hayes,  of  Brooklyn,,  who  is  a  candidate 
f  o  r  Freeland's  place.  Some  time  ago  Freeland's 
re  Boval  was  decided  upon,  not  for  any  cause, 
bi  t  that  his  advanced  age  rendered 
hi  m  incompetent  to  perform  the  duties  of  the 
of  ice,  and  Silverman,  who  Is  a  sort  of  office 
hi  oker  here,  appeared  at  the  department  in  the 
in»rest  of  Gen,  Hayes,  filing  very  strong  rec- 
ot  imendatdons  for  his  appointment.  At  the 
personal  .solicitation  of  Rev.  Henry  Ward 
B<  eoher,  the  President  ordered  the  dismissal  of 
C<  Uector  Freeland  revo'Ked,  when  Silverman  ap- 
pcared  again,  filing  the  charges  which  are 
new  being  investigated  at  New-York.  Silverman, 
it  Is  said,  has  not  a  very  good  reputation  either 
here  or  at  Philadelphia  or  Chicago,  where  he 
formerly  redded.  The  records  of  the  Internal 
Revenue  office  will  show  that  he  has  been  con- 
nected witli  some  illicit  transactions  in  liquors 
in  years  past,  and  the  officials  who  have  had 
to  do  with  him  do  not  place  mucTi  weight  upon 
bis  charges  on  account  of  the  character  be 
bears.  Special  Agent  Brooks,  who  is  oonduct- 
infc^the  investigation,  is  a  son  of  J.  J.  Brooks, 
11^  chief  of  the  secret  service,  and  it  is  a  coin- 
cidence that  the  father  some  vears  ago  investi- 
gated Mr.  Sil^rman  in  behalf  of  the  Treasury 
l>Apartment. 

jConsiderable  dissatisfaction  with  Collector 
King,  of  New-Orleans,  has  arisen  since  his  ap- 
pdintment,  and  representations  of  his  unfitness 
have  been  made  to  the  President. 
Ther«  are  no  charges  affecting  his 
integrity,  but  he  la  said  to  be 
In  the  qualities  that  ought  to 
irize  a  business  man.  It  is  asserted 
In  view  of  the  repreeeotationa  made  to  tho 


President,  Sing-  will  be  removed  and  a  suc- 
cessor appointed  before  Congress  meets.  Mr. 
ChamplMne,  the  present  deputy,  who  is  favor-

for  the  succession.

SCHURZ  RECEIVED  THE  MONET. 
Sptdat  DU^ateh  to  the  ye»-York  Time*. 

Philadelphia,  Aug.  8. — Hon.  William  H. 
Kemble,  who  made  the  original  statement  that 
Hon.  Carl  Schurz  received  money  for  political 
services  in  Pennsylvania,  is  out  In  a  card  re- 
iterating his  former  statements,  and,  indeed, 
addine  to  them  some  unpleasant  facts,  which 
will  hardly  be  relished  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Interior.  Mr.  Kemble  declined  to  be  inter- 
viewed concerning  the  statements,  saying  that 
he  would  say  what  he  desired  on  paper,  and 
that  no  newspaper  man  should  have  a  hand  in 
it,  for  the  reason  that  his  statement  would  be  in 
black  and  white,  and  he  had  the  documents  to 
prove  all  he  said.  As  a  result,  he  presented 
the  following  as  his  rejoinder  to  Mr.  Schurz's 
denial  of  Monday  last : 
To  the  Editor  of  the  y^vyYork  Time*'. 

Some  time  in  Jure  last  a  representative  of  the 
Philadelphia  Time9  having  visited  me  for  the 
purpose  of  leaming  mv  opinion  of  the  recent 
civU  service  order  of  tne  President,  I  expressed 
very  decidedly  my  disapproval  of  it,  doubting  at 
thesame  time  the  sincerity  of  those  whose  duty 
it  was  to  enforce  it,  and  gave  as  a  reason  the 
fact  that  Mr.  Carl  Schurz  had  .him- 
self been  a  recipient  of  political  boun- 
ties during  past  political  campaigns  to 
an  extent  whicn  bordered  upon  avarice  r  that 
in  18ft8  he  had  written  a  speech,  which  he  de- 
livered in  Pennsylvania  at  the  rate  of  $500  per 
week,  which  I  believe  the  committee  had  taken 
to  the  extent  of  three  weeks.  The  point  1  de- 
sired to  make  against  Mr.  Schurz  was  that,  hav- 
ing always  regarded  himself  as  a  mercenary,  it 
would  be  in  bad  taste  for  him  to  set  himself  up 
as  the  executor  of  political  reform.  In  the 
coiirse  of  a  few  weeks  my  remark**,  like  the 
storj'  of  the  three  black  crows,  came  back  to 
me  "in  the  shape  of  a  denial  by  Mr.  Schurz  of 
not  only  what  I  did  not  say,  but  cover- 
ing substantially  what  I  did  say.  True, 
the  denial  of  Mr.  Schurz  is  but  second-hand, 
and  may  be  totally  at  variance  with  what  ho 
did  say ;  but  as  reported  it  is  such  an  entire  de- 
parture from  the  real  facts  that  I  feel  called 
upon  thus  publicly  to  state  iust  what  were  Mr. 
Schurz's  relations  ^ith  the  Republicans  of 
Pennsylvania.  I  herewith  append  the  salient 
points'in  Sir.  Schurz's  denial,  as  they  appeared 
in  the  Washington  Evening  Star: 

"A  reporter  called  on  him  to  interview  him  in  con- 
nection with  the  statement  of  Gail  Hamilton  thiit  W. 
H.  Kemble.  of  Pennsylvania,  hod  paid  him  $1,500 
for  repeating  the  i»ame  speech  three  times  In  a  cam- 
paign in  Pennsylvania,  and" that  he  put  In  Ms  pocket 
thousands  of  dollars.  Schurz  replied  that  the  Kem- 
ble storj-  was  utterly  falsa  and  ritlicnloa*.  as  every- 
body who  knows  anything  aboat  political  r^m.- 
g  signs  would  understand  at  once;  that  since  1850 
e  has  been  active  in  13  campaigns.  State  and 
national,  from  two  weeks  to  four  months  at  a  time — 
an  average  of  six  to  seven  weeks  ;  that  in  most  of 
the-se  campaigns  he  paid  the  bulk  of  the  expenses  out 
of  his  own  pocket,  sometimes  when  he  cottld  ill  af- 
ford it,  and  to  the  utter  neglect  of  hid  private  aflfairs  : 
that  years  ago.  at  times  when  he  waH  unable  tu  do  so, 
he  had.  as  under  the  circumstances  everybody  else 
did,  to  accept  compensation  for  traveling  and  other 
incidental  expenses,  or  decline  campaign  work  ,-  th;it 
the  aggregate-  of  this  compensation  so  received 
from  every  quarter  fell  far  short  of  the  actual 
expense  by  him  incurred;  that  he  thus  gave  to  tho-»te 
campaiffnK  not  only  his  labor  and  tlnrje.  amoniiting  to 
little  less  than  IM  solid  months,  aod  a  not  inconsider- 
able  amount  of  money  also;  that,  therefore,  tho 
story  about  the  Kemble  pa\^nent  and  the  thousands 
of  dollars  Mr.  Schurz  put  in  his  pocket  is  gro.-tsly 
false  as  to  facts  and  conclusions." 

This  denial  reduced  simply  sava  that  Mr. 
Schurz  never  received  anything  from  Peiin-syl- 
vania  politicians  beyond  liLs  a<'tual  expenses, 
which  he  claims  was  customarj'.  Now,  while  I, 
who  am  not  particularly  enamored  with  civil 
service  reform,  am  willing  to  concede  that  Mr. 
Schurz  had  a  perfect  nght  to  receive  from 
the  Republican  State  t'ommlttee  the  full 
measure  of  hts  expoudilurts,  and,  a-* 
a  business  man,  am  willing  lo  go 
further  and  admit  that  Mr.  Schurz  had  a  tight 
to  sell  his  articles  for  the  hieh^t  market  price, 
vet  his  denial  is  not  in  accordance  with  the 
facts.  The  State  Central  C'ommitt<H>  of  ISOH 
engaged  Mr.  Schurz  to  speak  In  Pennsylvania 
for  the  sum  of  $.")(>(>  per  week,  and  according 
to  the  followiut^  letter  of  Mr.  Schurr.  to  the 
State  Comraittee  ho  must  have  arrived  in  Pitta- 
burg  on  the  1^4th  day  of  August ; 

F(>ktWa\-nb,  Ind.,  Ane.  15.  1S69. 

Friind  Oaha  :  Tliere  Is  one  thiux  I  forgot  to  soy

ing of  the  *2'M\,  and  reach  Pittsburg  at  4:15  P.  M.. 
Aufi.  'Ii.    Truly  yours,  .  C.  SCHl'RZ. 

Just  seven  days  thereafter,  Including  J^un- 
dav,  Mr.  Schurz'  received  ^.'JOO  from  the  Re- 
].ul>lican  State  Central  Couiniittte  for  the  week's 
services,  a.s  the  cash  book  of  the  Secretary  of 
that  committee,  Mr.  George  W.  Haramersloy, 
shows.  It  will  be  seen  from  tliis  letter 
that  Mr.  Scliurz,  on  his  arrival  at  I'itts- 
burg,  had  provided  for  two "  things.  First, 
that  he  should  have  no  railroad  expen.ses 
while  in  Pennsylvania  and  no  hotel  bills 
while  in  Pittsburg,  placing  himself  in  the  hands 
of  the  committee.  I  do  not  know  for  a  certain- 
ty, but  presume  that  Mr.  Schurz  was  in  the 
hands  of  a  committee  at  ever>-  place  where  he 
.*4poke  in  Pennsylvania.  Hence,  he  could  have 
had  no  expenses  of  any  magnitufle,  so  that  the 
sum  of  $500  which  he  received  from  tho  Stato 
Central  .Committee  was  in  addition  tw  his  out- 
lay and.fn  accordance  with  a  contract  previous- 
ly made.  Nor  is  it  true  that  all  Republican 
speakers  received  compenfiation  from  tne  State 
Central  Committee  at  the  same  time  that  Mr. 
Schurz  was  stumping  Peunsyh"ania.  .At  least, 
loo  gentlemen  were  doing  likewise,  and  while 
some  of  them  received  compensation  sufl3cient 
to  meet  their  outlay,  many  oi  them  received  no 
compensation  at  all,  and  no  one  to  the  extent  of 
Mr.  Schurz  :  and  certainly  no  iwpirant  to  the 
position  of  United  States  Senator,  wliich  Mr. 
Schurz  was  at  that  time,  would  have  been, 
offered  money  by  tho  State  Central 
Committee ,  unless  he  had  demanded  it. 
Among  others  it  may  not  be  in- 
vidious to  mention  Hon.  James  G.  Blaine,' Hon. 
Horace  Maynard,  Hon.  Oliver  P.  Morton,  Hon. 
Henry  Wilson,  Gen.  Joseph  K.  Hawley,  Senator 
J.  W  Patterson  of  New-Hampshire,  Gov.  Wal- 
ter Harriman,  Hon.  Titian  J.  Coffee,  Hon.  James 
A.  Briggs,  Gen.  Charles  H.  Vanwyck,  Hon.  E. 
D.  Culver,  Hon.  Geoive  Boutwell,  Hon.  A.  G. 
Curtin,  Hon.  A,  K.  McClure,  Hon.  James  Pol- 
lock, Hon.  James  H.  Campbell  In,  fact  it  was 
not  customarj'  for  gentlemen  who  occupied  the 
position  in  politics  that  Mr.  Schurz  and  the 
above  gentlemen  did  to  accept  compensation  for 
political  services. 

But  Mr.  Schurz's  remark  that  at  one  time, 
manv  years  back,  he  did  not  receive  compensation 
to  t^e  amount  of  his  expenses,  is  further  con- 
tradicted by  his  action  in  1800.  At  that  time 
the  Republican  Partj'  was  not  only  in  its  in- 
fancy, out  had  funds  scarcely  sufficient  to 
meet  expenses  that  were  imperative  ;  the  whole 
campaign  for  Governor  and  President  having 
been  conducted  by  ^e  committee  with  less  than 
$10,000  ;  yet  Mr.  Schurz  made  a  tour  in  Penn- 
sylvania of  about  one  week,  In  which  all  his  ex- 
penses were  paid  and  ho  had  returned  home, 
when  a  sight  draft  was  promptly  drawn  on  our 
Chairman,  the  Hon.  A.  K.  McClure,  for  $500. 

With  an  empty  treasury,  there  was  nothing  for 
us  to  do  but  to  go  down  into  our  pockets  and  pay 
it.  Now,  be  it  known  that  $500  in  l«tiO 
was  a  very  large  sum  for  anv  one  to  receive  for 
political  services,  but  when  it  comes  to  be  an  ad- 
ditional sum  to  his  necessary  outlay,  it  becomes 
oppressive. 

I  think  I  have  written  sufficient  to  satisfy  the 
most  ardent  friend  of  Mr.  Scliurz  that  when  I 
charged  him  with  being  one  who  foUowed  pol- 
itics as  a  mercenary,  and  not  as  a  patriot^  I 
spoke  truly  of  him.    Yours  respectfully, 

William  H.  Kkmble.

tered the  Commercial  Hotel,  in  this  city,  last 
Monday,  and  registered  himself  as  from  Har- 
risburg, Penn.  The  clerk  saw  that  he  was  well 
dressed,  to  all  appearances  honest,  and  had  a 
small  amount  of  baggage  4u  his  hands,  and 
therefore  he  did  not  demand  payment  in  ad- 
vance. He  breakfasted  at  the  hotel  on  tho 
morning  of  his  arrival,  and  appears  to  have 
eaten  no  other  meal  while  therb.  On  Tuesday 
morning  he  appeared  at  the  office  drunk.  He 
made  considerable  noise  about  $200,  which  he 
said  he  lost,  together  with  his  bat.  A  hat  was 
procured  for  him,  and  he  set  out  to  look  for  his 
money.  About  8:30  last  night  he  came  into 
the  hotel  and  sat  down  on  one  of  the  corridor 
chairs.  When  asked  if  he  hadn't  better  go  to 
bed  he  produced  a  bottle  labeled  *'  Chloroform," 
cmd  belted  of  having  drunk  the  content**. 
Medical  assistance  was  cal|c(l.  but  it  waH  too

TffE  CUBAN  INSURRECTION. 


GEN.  CAMPOS  IN    HAVANA — A  BATT7>E  IN  THE 
PUERTO  PRINCIPE  JURISDICTION. 

Havana,  Aug.  8. — Gen.  Martinez  Campos 
arrived  in  Havana  last  night  privately.  No 
official  reception  was  given  him.  The  General 
had  a  severe  fall  from  his  horse  near  Santiago

TffK  CANADIAN   OEAyOE   QUESTION. 

MoNTREAi.,  Aug.  S. — >Sir  BVaneis  Hineks 
has  published  another  letter  with  reference  lo 
the  recent  sectarian  troubles  and  tho  causes 
which  have  led  to  them.  HaWng  retired  from 
public  life,  he  wishes  it  to  bo  understood  that 
the  letter  is  not  written  for  a  polijticat  object. 
His  chief  reason  for  writing  on  Oraugeism  is  a 
conviction  that  those  who,  with  the  best  possible 
intention,  advocate<l  legislation,  were  on  the 
wrone^  track,  and  he  ventures  to  hope  that  some 
other  plan  may  be  devised  for  solving  what  all 
writers  on  the  subject  admit  to  be  a  difficulty. 
In  conclusion.  Sir  Francis  says :  *•  As  the 
Orangemen  seem  determined  to'  exercise  the 
right  of  walking,  I  .suppose  the  great  ma.ss  of 
citizens  of  Montreal  will  bo  put  to  annoy- 
ance and  expense  in  pres»erving  order  next  ye^r.. 
I  will  state  the  onlv  proper  mode  of  preserving 
peace :  At  least  506  .special  constables  sliould  be 
sworn  in  for  the  day  to  aid  the  Police,  and  armed 
with  batons  only,  which  should  be  provided  for 
the  occasion. 

If  the  two  bodies  walk,  the  Mayor  should  insist 
upon  their  taking  streets  which  will  render  col- 
lision impossible  :  if  only  the  Orangemen  walk, 
they  should  be  required  to  de.signate  their  line 
of  march  going  and  returning,  and  such  .<treet»s 
should  be  kept  clear  of  all  strangers.  On  coming 
to  the  citT  they  should  be  deprived  of  nrwirms. 
The  volunteers  should  be  called  out,  but  should 
not  occupy  the  streets  nor  act,  except  In  cas«i 
of  emergencv-  By  such  precautious,  and  nt  an 
annual  cost  to  the  city  of  a  few  thousand  dol- 
lars, the  Orange  Young  Britons  may  be  indulged 
in  tlieir  new  caprice  ;  "which  they  either  never 
thought  of  before  last  year,  or  had  the  good 
sense  to  forego,  no  doubt  by  the  advice  of  old 
Britons. 

TJIE  KEESEVILLE  BANK  ROBBEBT. 

Montreal,  Aug.  8. — Harold  Schie,  the 
young  Norwegian  who  was  arrested  here  on 
suspicion  of  being  concerned  in  the  Keeseville 
(N.  Y.)  Bank  robbery,  came  here  with  excellent 
reference  to  a  gentleman  of  this  city,  ostensibly* 
to  obtain  a  patent  for  a  horse-shoe  nail. 
He  subsequently  visited  Keeseville,  where 
he  was  stopping  at  the  time  of  the  robbery. 
On  his  return  here  after  the  robbery  he  was 
followed  by  the  Sheriff  and  arrested  on  suspi- 
cion. The  general  impression  is  that  he  is  Inno- 
cent. Since  his  arrest  ho  has  received  a  cable 
dispatch  from  his  partner  in  Norway,  directing 
him  to  return  home,  and  notifying  him  that 
$200  has  been  placed  to  his  credit  iu  the  Bank 
of  Montreal.

I'litil  WL- con  look  into  iitjil'n  eyes  in  peace  we 
CHnnot  be  hnppy.  The  fon.Hcientlous

Ihnt  a  man  is  so  made  that  he  must  distinguish 
hetween  right  and  wroncr.  Stuart  Mill  said 
there  might  bo  a  world  in  which  two 
and  two  would  not  make  four.  The 
same  jimn  says  that  in  some  other  worlds; 
right  might  be  wrong.  I  hold  that  the  whole  is 
greater  and  better  than  a  [»art.  A  straight  line 
is  thf  'ihnriest  distance  between  two  points. 
This  dftf^s  not  eome  to  n<  from  our  ancestors. 
If  experience  accounts  for  all  our  connection, 
then  when  experience  is  always  the 
'^auie.  we  eannot  escape  its  teachings. 
We  can  imagine  that  the  sun  might 
rise  in  the  west  and  set  in  the  east,  but  we  can- 
not imagine  that  the  whole  is  less  than  a  j^rt  of 
the  connections  which  are  a  part  of  the  original 
revelation  of  Gml  in  its  structure.  Now,  when 
we  net  wrong  we  f*M,'l  it ;  wl»en  we  act  mean  we 
feci  mean,  and  we  oujrht  to.  Therfe  are 
a.-^ioms  in  religious  thought  the  jopposit©  t,o 
which  cannot  be  imagined.  We  are  not  afraid 
of  scientitic  thought.  We  shall  Ibegin  with 
this:  God  speaks  through  con.science.  It  is 
His  temple.  Where  is  Jesus  of  Narareth  now  ? 
He  is  not  on  Calvar}*.  He  is  the  light 
which  lights  the  world,  and  the  hu- 
man heart  is  His  temple.  That  light 
was  in  the  beeinning ;  at  the  creation 
>f  the  world.  When  the  Holy  Spirit  touches 
the  heart  Jesus  is  present  and  fills  it.  Some 
sav  conscience  is  infallible ;  others  that  it  is 
fallible.  Kant  said  that  erring  conscience  was 
a  chimera.  Caiderwood  said  :  "  There  is  no  such 
thing  as  an  erriny;  conscience.''  John  Foster 
paid :  "  There  is  no  more  absurd  thing 
than  conscience."  A  scientific  definition 
says  conscience  is  the  soul's  sense  of  right 
and  wrong  in  motives.  It  affirms  that  we  al- 
W3VS  know  what  we  ought  to  do.  We  must  de- 
fine clearly.  We  mako  a  distinction  between 
tjie  external  act  and  the  innef  motive.  I  re- 
peat, conscience  means  the  souls  of  right  and 
of  wrong  in  motives.  We  cannot  produce  in  a 
dav  the  sense  of  right  and  wrong  which  exists 
in  the  heart  of  man.  When  one  says,  **  I  will 
not."  when  the  still  small  voice  says  in  him, 
'•  I  ought,"'  there  comes  unrest.  There  is  a 
sense  of  remoteness  from  God.  He  may  go  on 
in  disol>edience  laitil  ho  does  not  wish  to  go 
back.  This  is  the  line  of  the  natural  operation 
of  our  facnhiep.  Does  any  man  want  the  sun 
to  rise  at  mid-day  ?  The  heavens  above  us  will 
be  rolled  together  as  a  scroll,  but  the 
heaven  that  spring  from  the  inner  light  will 
never  pass  awny.  W'e  are  so  made  that  obedi- 
ence brings  us  nearer  and  nearer  to  God.  Let 
us  weigb  the  word  "ought."  There  are  here 
men  ^vith  empty  sleeves.  The  soldier  had  in 
one  scale  the  word  *'  ought"  Ih  the  other  were 
father,  mother,  and  wife.  The 
down  and  the  little  word 
and  tikes  him  to  the  front 
to  outweigh  everything  else.  We  c&n  put  every 
thing  into  the  opposite  scale  btit  Qod,  which  we 
rannot  do,  because  God  id  in  "ought"  "  Rich- 
ard II  I."'  and  "Macbeth"  were  the  (freatest 
treatises  on  conscience  ever  written.  David 
Hume  and  Nero  heard  the  voice, 
conscience.  That  word  "ought"  had 
Its  weight  on  the  heart  of  Miehard 
III.  Man  may  place  himself  beyond  this  by  an 
g^t  of—  Well:  who  ever  loves  darkness  better 
than  licht  feels  mean.  Cor'«ci?nee  says  that  the 
right  ought  to  be  followed.  Conselencs  includes  a 
teuse  of  the  approval  of  a  soiuewiiat  or  a  some 
one  above  ourselves.  If  I  only  thought  of  my- 
self conscience  would  not  make  a  coward  of  me. 
Conscience  goes  on  to  anticipate  in  a  region 
bevond  death  the  approval  of  somewhat  or 
some  one.  Would  Goa  make  us  with  such  an 
Instinct  and  then  mock  us  ?  He  never  does 
sach  a  thing.  God  builds  no  half  joints.  Where 
there  is  a  migrating  Instinct  there  will  be  a 
south  to  match  it.  God  Is  no  bungler.  That 
instinct  by  which  God  teaches  the  swan  to  fly 
toward  the  south  and  tke  flflh  to  swim  from  the

OCEAN  GROVE, 

'  ^ • 

LAST  DAY  OF  TBB  TOTJNG  PEOPLE'S  ASSEM- 
BLY— SERMON  ON  FAITH  BY  REV.  H,  L. 
SANDERS — CLOSJI3TO  SEBYIOSS, 
The  Young  Christian  People's  Assembly  was 
very  largely  attended  at  Ocean  Grove  yesterflat, 
Megtftioti*  from  Syracuse.  Bnitalo^  BMton,  Balti- 
more, jbid  Brooklyn  being  preSetit.  i  This  befeg  the 
last  day,  great  interest  was  felt.  Ovdr  5,000  petBons 
were  present  to  bear  tbo  young  Baptist  orator,  Rev. 
Mr.  Sanders.  Many  were  compelled  to  stand,  so 
greatrwas  the  desire  manifested  tcj  hear  him.  The 
services  were  opened  with  singiug,  ajid  a  prayer  by 
Rev.  Thomas  T.  Everett,  of  Philadelphia.  Presijont 
E.  H.  Stokes  then  introduced  Rev.  H.  I*.  Sanjlers, 
Pastor  of  the  First  Baptist  Chnrch  of  Yonkers,  N.  Y. 
He  took  his  text  from  St..  Luke,  ilfth  chapter,  |flfth 
verse,  "  NererthefeBss,  at  Thy  word  Itrtll  letdown 
t9ie  net."  Kts  reason,  he  stated,  for  taking  this|^Tt 
was  to  see  how  w^e  aQ  stood  on  the  question  of  futh. 
He  hoped  he  would  be  enabled  to  lay  the  text  before 
them  in  such  a  li|;ht  that  they  would  be  enabled  to 
exazniae  their  own  heurts  and  see  how  Itbey 
stood  upon  the  great  faith  of  Balraitton. 
It  was  night  upon  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  when  |  four 
fishermen  cast  their  nets  and  drew  them  back  empty. 
All  night  long  th^y  labored  in  vain,  and  at  sunrise 
sought  the  shore  for  rest  Christ  came  to  them,|ind, 
hearing  of  tbeir  misfortnne,  turned  to  Peter  and}  iold 
him  to  go  forth  again.  Peter,  having  faith,  retn^ed 
io  the  sea,  saying  "  Nevertheless,  at  Thy  word  I  will 
let  down  the  net  "  and  thev  were  blessed  w^ith  an 
abundance  of  fish.  It  was  essential  that  we  compre- 
hend the  Divine  truth.  John  had  declared  that  no 
man  knoweth  God  except  he  love  Him.  There  Is  a 
knowledge  that  precedes  faith.  We  must  know  of 
Christ  l>ef0T«  we  can  believe  in  Him.  Taith 
was  the  foundation  of  tlie  household,  'the 
Oorremment^,  and  the  scientific  world.  Leverier 
found  the  planet  Neptune  by  it.  When  God  ^ade 
faith  the  foundation  of  salvation  He  did  no  arbitrary 
thing.  God  bad  stampwl  it  with  his  signet,  and'  it  is 
universal.  Faith  is  belief  on  testimony.  The  ground 
of  sartag  faith  is  simply  the  word  of  God.  Believe 
In  Christ,  and  why  ?  Because  God  says  so.  i  The 
preacher  gave  several  illustrations  of  faith.  Naaman, 
the  leper,  was  told  to  wash  himself  seven  times  in 
the  River  Jordan,  and  he  was  cured.  Did  he  not 
have  faith  ?  The  mau  with  the  withered  hand  was 
told  to  stretch  forth  ,  his  hand,  and  with 
the  word  came  faith.  Do  we  not  see  it 
in  onr  every  day  walks  of  life  ?  When 
the  parent  tells  the  child  to  obey;  the  child  does  so 
becatue  motlier  rays  so ;  not  because  of  bribes  or 
threats  or  punishments.  You  cannot  save  souls 
without  bringing  them  Into  personal  contact  [with 
Christ.  As  the  compass  ia  given  to  the  rearinerlthat 
hemayfcnow  where  the  North  Star  is  when  hfe|  can- 
not Bee  it,  so  is  the  Bible  ^en  to  the  Christian  that 
he  may  find  Christ.  The  Word  is  given  us  to  b<jlieve 
on  Jesus,  and  tlie  object  of  the  Word  is  to  bringnsto 
Him.  There  Is  a  (jreat  difference  between  faith  and 
trust.  Peter's  prayer  with  trust  in  the  Lord  ■  was 
brief.  It  had  io  he  .««hort.  for  he  was  going  down, 
i^nd  it  would  have  been  a  silent  prayer  if  he  1  had 
Waited  a  few  minutes.  He  prayed,  "  Ivord,  save  me." 
It  was  the  step  of  faith.  We  take  a  dollar  note.  It 
is  taken  io  tne  faith  of  tiie  Government  to  [pay. 
Faith  was  therefore  a  universal  thing.  We  don't 
use  one  set  of  faculties  for  God  and  another  fori  the 

rple.  Certain  persons  tell  us  a  thing;  we  believe 
we  have  faith  to  believe.  Testimony  is  1  the 
ffronnd  of  faith  and  faith  ia  the  Word  of  God.  Faith 
&  the  Bible.  Faith  is  the  be<l-plate  on  which!  the 
whole  foundation  stands :  the  object  of  saving  faith 
is  the  Wonl  of  God.  The  preacher  closed  by  redtine 
a  short  poem  of  hope,  f.-iitli.  and  love.  |  His 
nermou  was  Ijstene*!  to  with  deep  interest 
by  all.  .Selali  Brown,  of  ^roy.  and  o^hfrs 
made  brief  addreases,  and  the  meeting  closetl,.

Ay  ixQvssT  av  a  lite  negro. 

The  Chicago  Trtbitne  thinks  that  there  mnst 
be  considerable  looseneae  about  the  managemunt  of 
[  Col;  Cleary-'«  Hospital,  in  that  dty,  tf  half  the  r  »ports 
are  true.  It  thus  instances  an  incident'  wh:  ch  oc- 
cnrred  on  Thursday  last :  "  The  negro  Corontry, 
who  waa  shot  Wednesday  night,  was  taken  io  the 
hospital  and  reported  to  be  in  a  dying  condltiobt  and 
the  next  day  it  was  decided  that  be  wa.s  dead,  but  by 
whom.  Is  not  kuown — certainly  not  by  the  gentleman 
after'whom  the  institution  is  named.  One  of  the 
Coroner's  clerks  la  responsible,  hoVeveir, 
for  Uie  statement  that  his  body  was 
loaded  into  a  wagon  by  some  one  and  taken 
to  the  Morgue,  stripped,  and  laidotit  on  one  of  the 
marble  alahs  to  await  the  coming  of  the  Coroner. 
The  Coroner  came  In  due  time,  followed  by  a  string 
of  individuals  to  sit  with  him  aa  judots  on  the  body 
of  the  dead  uegro.  The  Morgue  was  Entered  and  the 
body  viewed,  with  the  usual  care  exercised  on  such 
occasions  and  under  such  circumstances.  There  was 
notbing  peculiar  ahont  the  appearance  of  the  corpse, 
but  from  the  fact!  that  some  one's  neck  might 
possibly  be  placed  in  jeopardy  by  tlie  verdict  of 
the  jury,  every  preparation  was  made  for  a  diligent 
inquiry  into  the  cause  of  death.  There  was  the 
gaping  wound  made  by  tha  fatal  pistol  ball,  and  the 
crowd  gathered  about  in  the  greatest  solemnity  to  ex- 
amine It.  One,  approaching  nearerthanthe  rest,  and 
being  a  little  more  inquisitive,  ventured  to  touch  the 
body.  He  stepped  back  instantly— the  flesh  was  yet 
warm — and  stmultaneonsly  alow  sound  proceeding 
from  the  corpse  broke  the  sil^ce.  A  strange  thrill 
passed  through  the  crowd.  '  Is  h©  dead  t ' 
queried  one,  and,  with  this  the  cloth  was 
raiswl  from  the  \  lower  limbs.  While  they 
stool  viewing  the  spectacle  in  wonderment  over  the 
situation,  the  supposed  corpse,  being  nneomforrtiable, 
doubtlesst  drew  up  one  leg  nervously !  This  was 
enough.  The  negro  was  not  dead,  but  the  Coroner 
was  outwitted,  and  the  crowd  cut  rrtt  from  earning 
$1  apiaoe  as  jurors  !  The  scene  changed  with  great 
promptitude,  and,  in  less  time  than  it  takes  to  write 
Siajth*  room  was  deserted  by  all  save  the  Coroner

THE  LttblANAFOUS  RIOTERS. 

DECISION  -  OF  JUDOB  DBtnOCOXD  IK  SEK- 
TENCING  FUTTEEN  OF  THEM  tO  THBKB 
MONTHS'  IMPRISONMENT  EACH. 

In  the  esses  of  the  railroad  riofers  ht  fb<» 

United  States  Court  at  Indianapolis,  Jndg^  Drum- 
mond,  on  Friday,  sentenced  15  of  them  to  three 
months'  I/nprisonment  each.  The  following  extract 
comprises  the  main  points  of  his  decision  : 

"Admitting  that  these  defendants  had  grievances 
Kgamst  railroads,  how  are  they  to  bo  redressed  or  re- 
moved i  That  is  a  very  serious  question.  Are  they 
to  be  removed  by  violence,  by  force,  bv  trampling 
upon  the  laws  of  the  eoxmtry,  by  interfei^ng  with  all 
the  business,  or  most  of  the  business^  relations  of  the 
country,  by  preventing  the  operation  of  the  roods  f 
Is  this  the  way  in  which  grievances  are  to  be  re- 
dressed f  notheso  defendants,  or  any  parties  who 
are  in  similar  circnrnstanees,  snppose  that  their 
wrongs  are  to  be  righted  by  violence,  by  fo»e  ?  Is 
that  the  way  in  which  the  sympathy  and  kind  feel- 
ings of  all  the  citizens  of  the  country  are  to  be 
stretched  out  toward  themf  Are  we  not  all  citi- 
zens of  a  common  country  7  Do  we  not  all  desire  to 
stand  by  the  law  1  Is  not  the  law  ample  to  nrotect 
the  rights  of  aU? 

"These  defendants,  under  the.belief  that  wrongs 
had  been  done  to  them  by  the  n^lroad  ofHcIals,  en- 
tered Into  a  combination  to  right  these  wrongs,  real 
or  im*?inary.  by  stopping  the  trains,  by  interfering 
with  the  business  of  tlie  country,  Tljat  this  was  a 
great  wrong  will  apnear  when  wo  apply  such  a 
principle  to  any  of  the  business  relations  of  life. 
Suppose  that  the  employes  of  the  various  depart- 
ments of  business  in  this  city  should  think  that  their 
employers  did  not  pay  them  adequate  wages,  and 
they  should  combine  together,  conspire  together,  go 
Mtrand  and  require  all  parties  thus  employwl  to  cewe 
their  employment,  to  shut  up  all  the  business  places 
of  this  city,  and  put  a  stop  to  all  departments  of  busi- 
ness ;  to  the  stores,  to  the  manufactories,  to  every- 
thing of  that  kind.  AVould  that  be  right  1  Would  it 
"  not  be  a  great  wrong  for  persona  thus  to  do  ?  Sup- 
pose that  in  seedtime  the  farmers'  hands  throughout 
a  large  section  of  this  State  should  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  the  farmp^rs  did  not  pay  them  wages 
enough,  and  should  combine  together  and  go  around 
to  the  various  farms  and  require  the  hands  to  strike, 
and  prevent,  in  this  way  the  planting  of  the  seed  J 
Suppose  that  during  harvest  they  should  do  the  same 
thing — go  around  among  farmers  and  require  lUl 
hands  to  strike,  and  prevent  the  farmers  from  har- 
vesting th^lr  grain,  com.  or  products  of  the  soil  i 
Would  that  bo  right  1  Would  it  not  be  a  great  wrong  ? 
And  yet  that  is  the  same  thing,  or  would  be  the 
same  thing  in  principle,  that  these  railroad  employes 
have  done  in  this  case,  and  throughout  the  comitry, 
within  the  last  two  weeks.  It  Is  not  in  this  way  that 
any  of  the  relations  of  right  or  any  of  the  different 
claases  of  the  community  can  have  tholr  wrongs 
righted.    The  courts  arc  open. 

"*  If  I  understand  the  object  of  these  various  strikee, 
it  is  to  compel  the  railroad  ofHcIals  by  force,  namely, 
by  suspentllng  the  opemtions  of  the  trains,  to  pay 
them  those  prices  thilt  the>'  thought  they  were  enti- 
tled to  receive.  If  there  is  anything  thatis  an  axiom 
and  truth  universally  admitted  to  be  correct  It  is 
this  :  that  we  cannot  by  law  fix  the  price  of  labor,  or 
of  a  bushel  of  wheat,  or  a  barrel  of  flonr.  or  of  a 
piece  of  domestics,  or  of  a  horse,  or  of  anything  else. 
Thwe  are  things  that  are  to  be  regulated 'by  the  sup- 
ply and  demand,  by  the  wants  of  the  community.  Just 
so  it  Is  with  labor.  We  cannot  say  by  law  that  the  la- 
borer shall  have  just  such  a  price  nrr  his  seoices. 
We  cannot  say  by  law  that  a  nreman  shall  have  such 
a  price,  that  a'  switchman  shall  have  such  a  price,  a 
conductor  such  a  price,  and  so  on.  Throughout  all 
the  various  classes  of  railroad  employes  these  are 
matters  to  be  regulsted  by  the  necessity  for  the  labor. 
It  Is  so  with  everytliing :  therefore,  every  particular 
class  of  a  community  should  receive  compensation 
for  services  performed,  whether  It  Is  railroad  men. 
clerks,  supenn  ten  dents,  lawyers,  doctors,  merchants, 
or  whatever  they  may  be.  When  they  do  this  It 
must  be  settled  by  tlie  parties  themselves.  In  the 
case  of  labor,  the  man  who  seeks  the  employment  of 
a  man  who  wants  the  employment.  It  Is  a  matter  of 
i^reement^  and  m^t  always  be.  therefore  it  may  as 
well  be  impressed  upon  these  defendants,  as  upon  all 
other  persons,  which !  a  little  reflection  will  con- 
vince thpm  Ih  necessary,  that  It  is  not  possible 
that  Ihuy  cj\n  rfay  '  precisely  how,  much  they 
shall  have  for  the  service  tiiey  perform  :  they  have 
no  right  to  dictate  to  their  employers  what  thfj-  shnll 
receive,  nor  has  the  employer  any  right  to  dictate  to 
the  employe  what  he  shall  receive.  It  is  a  matter  of 
common  bargain  and  agreement,  and  unless  it  can  be 
settled  in  this  way  we  have  to  destroy  all  the  rela- 
tions of  life.  It  Is  upon  that  principle  that  every- 
thing i.i  }tonght  and  I  sold.  labor  sm  well  a-4  other 
things.  You  cannot  grt  into  the  utore  of  a  merchant 
In  this  city  and  say,  I  will  give  you  such  a  price  for 
anything  y&have  herei  and  If  you  don't  take  it  I  will 
leave  the  money  and  remove  it  from  your  store. 
Ko ;  the  owler  of  the  article  has  a  right  to  sav  what 
he  will  take  Vor  it.  as  well  a<t  the  punrhaser  what  he 
will  srive,  an^uuleKS  they  agree  the  article  must 
remain  there,  ^ust  so  lit  is  with  everything  that  is  a 
subject  of  barter  and'  sale,  labor  as  welt  aa  every- 
thing else,  .       J 

"  Wien  these  railroademployes  sought  to  force  those 
who  employKl  them  to '  pay  a  particular  price  in  this 
wav,  they  wen-  guilty  t>f  a  wrongful  act.  Undoubt- 
edly they,  as  well  as  withers,  cannot  be  forced  or 
obligert  to  ]>erform  a  service  without  their  consent. 
If  their  employers  don't  give  th»'m  as  much  as  their 
services  are  entitled  to.  they  have  a  right  to  leave 
and  seek  employment  elsewhere.  Ijet  me  impress 
upon,  the  defendants  this  truth,  that  even 
those  who  may  sjTtjpathize  with  you — and  we 
all  do  in  some  respects — those  who  may  sympa- 
thize with  you  even  In  what  you  hnve  done,  if 
yon  went  to  them  and  sought  employment,  they 
would  not  employ  yon  if  they  thought  they  conlcl 
have  the  service  performed  as  well  at  a  less  rate.  AH 
men  are  alike  abont  this  :  there  is  no  difference,  and 
cannot  |H)fslhIy  l>e  any  difToreuce  among  men  on  that 
subject.  We  all  seek  th.it  which  we  desire  at  r.s 
cheap  a  rate  as  we  can  obtain  t1.  and  yon  yourselves 
whf?n  you  go  to  buy  anything,  bny  it  as  cheap  as  you 
can.  Tilts  is  tho  uulvomtil  law  of  sticK-ty,  and  It  is  an 
axiom  In  political  fcononiy. 

•■  Thi.t  being  so.  the  proper  way.  as  it  scpins  to  the 
court,  for  any  class  of  the  community  who  desire  to 
have  tlie  Ber\-ico  which  they  may  perform  c^impen- 
.tated  at  a  better  rate,  is  to  spn>ad  tlie  farts  tdurhing 
that  service  Iwforo  the  conuimnily  and  thus  create  a 
public  sentiment  in  their  favor  so  that  justicf*  mijjht 
ultimately  lie  done  to  them.  Itely  upon  It.  this  is  the 
safest  and  best,  and,  above  all,  this  is  the  Ipgal  way 
In  whi'-h  to  obtain  a  remedy  for  any  wrong  that  is 
committed, 

"  Kvery  man.  as  I  have  stated,  has  a  rigiit  to  Inave 
the  senice  of  his  emnloycr  if  he  is  not  icnti.tfUMi  with 
the  wages  he  gets,  but  men  have  no  right  to  combine 
together  and  cause  a  strikt^  among  rnilnmd  employes 
so  as  to  prevent  the  running  of  trains,  because  IhlR  is 
something  that  affects  the  whole  commnnity,  which 
is  a  wrong  done  to  the  whole  connnnnity,  and  Inter- 
rupts the  business  of  the  country.  It  Is  more  es- 
i  eclally  true  in  relation  to  the  employes  of  railroads, 
Itt-c.-iHse  tho  injury  there  is  public  in  its  character; 
it  aifects  the  whole  country'.  a»  it  were,  and  not  a 
particular  communitv  or  a  particular  ucighborhf>od. 

"  It  may  bo  tliat  wbcn  this  combination  was  made 
originally,  the  object  was  simply  to  snspf  nd  work  on 
th»«  roads,  but  there  was  a  most  slgniucant  remark 
made  by  one  of  the  committee  at  Terre  Haute — Mr. 
Kesbit-^t*)  Mr.  Claybrook.  which  I  wish  to  use.  and  I 
wish  I  could  re-echo  It  throughout  the  whole  country 
to  every  man  who  has  tny  property  or  any  interes't 
which  he  desires  to  protect  against  wrong  or  violence : 
it  is  this ;  '  There  is  an  element  in  that  crowd  whicli 
the  committee  cannot  control'  There  was  an  ele- 
ment there  tlrnt  was  stronger  than  the  committee  : 
tliat  Is  always  so.  or  may  Always  bo  so.  It  Is  not 
po>«aible  always  when  yon  raise  a  mob  or  a  crowd, 
and  by  so '  doing  violate  the  law,  to  tell 
where  the  operations  of  the  mob  will  cease;  they  be- 
gin by  violating  the  law,  and  to  what  extent  that, vio- 
lence will  extend,  or  how  far  It  will  extend,  they  of 
course  cannot  tell,  and  when  they  have  thus  raised 
the  spirit  It  escaives  beyond  their  control.  8o  It  is 
always  when  a  mob  or  a  crowd  Is  raised  in  all  cities 
to  perform  unlawful  acts.  No  man  ran  tell  when 
those  acts  will  end,  how  far  they  will  extend,  or 
When  his  property  may  be  safe.  So  true  ia  this  that 
there  never  should  be  any  violation  of  law,  and 
every  citizen  of  this  countr>*  owes  it  to  himself,  to 
his  coimtrj-.  and  to  any  interest  which  he  has  in  it,  to 
stand  by  the- law  and  never  to  infringe  it. 

'■  Ruppose-tiiat  upon  any  of  these  trains  there  was 
money  or  property  which  was  to  save  a  man's  farm  or 
house  from  loss  or  sacrifice.  S,nppose  there  was  a 
traveler  upon  these  roads  who  was  going  to  the  bed- 
side of  a  wife,  of  a  husband,  of  a  son,  or  daughter, 
who  was  dying.  Snppose  many  things  which  might 
have  occurred.  You  see  in  this  way  how  you  inter- " 
fered  with  everything  that  we  hold  most  precious  as 
citizens  of  this  country  ;  and  the  mails,  the  mode  of 
communication,  yon  arrested  even  them,  because  you 
arrested  the  trains  by  which  they  were  carried. 

It  is  ftltnost  impossible  for  the  mind  to  concieve  of 
the  almost  Infbiite  wrong  which  may  attend  the  stop- 
page of  a  train — the  railroad  trains  In  our  country — 
even  for  a  day :  of  course  no  one  can  tell  what  it 
would  be  when  trains  are  stopped  for  more  than  tliat 
time — for  a  week-  This  being  so,  whatever  may  be 
the -feeling  in  the  community — that,  perhaps,  rai&oad 
employes  ought  to  receive  more  than  they  do  re- 
ceive— still,  it  is  not  in  this  way  that  that 
is  to  be  remedied,  because  you  maxe  war  npon 
society,  and  society  will  always  arise  under 
such  circumstances  against  those  who  make  war 
upon  it.  It  Is  not  possible  that  any  class  of  men  ean 
rise  i^ainst  a  whole  commuuity  and  expect  that  so- 
ciety will  not  resent  its  abused  rights  and  redress  its 
wrongs.  Mt  will  as  long  as  society-  exists. 

"Railroad  employesmust  recollect  that  other  people 
have  rights  as  well  as  they ;  they  act  as  though  no 
oneelso  had  any  rights  e.tcept  themselves.  Mer- 
chants have  rights,  professional  men  have  rights, 
farmers  have  rights,  and  even  railroad  companies 
have  rights.  Alfmen  have  their  rights,  and  all  cor- 
porataons  have  their  rights  under  the  law. " 

POLITICS  m  CALIFORNIA. 
The  San  Francisco  Bulletin  of  the  1st  inst. 
says:  "Nearly  the  whole  of  tho  interior  cotmties 
have,  held  their  conventions.  The  campaign  has 
fairly  started.  In  all  the  counties  except  those  of 
the  upper  San  Joaquin  Valley  tho  contest  is  between 
the  two  old  party  oi^nlzations.  In  Kern  and  Tulare 
Counties  the  Democracy  will  be  opposed  by  a  Peo- 
ple's ticket.  The  platforms  adopted  in  all  the  con- 
ventions are  pretty  much  the  same.  There  is  little 
or  no  difference  betwe^  the  principles  asserted  by 
the  Republicans  or  Democrats,  except  that  In  a  few 
cases  the  latter  have  Indulged  in  the  innocent  pas- 
time of  declaring  that  Tilden  ought  now  to  occupy 
the  PreBldentlfll  chair.  All  the  Republican  conven- 
tions have  indorsed  the  policy  of  the  Administration. 
In  not  one  convention  have  the  legislative  candidates 
been  pledged  to  the  support  of  any  one  candidate  for 
the  United  States  Senatorshlp.  The  nearest  ap- 
proach to  it  was  a  deohu*atlon  and  semV 
mdoTMment  of  Senator  Booth  by  the  Benub- 
llcani  of  Sairajnento  OoimtT.  They  pleased 
thetr  le^lative  oandLldatee  to  voting  for  a  man  who 
will  be  a  '  worthy  eoUeagne  of  thetr  fellow^ettlSBn

fere  probabTy  b*  a  free  Hfiht  In  the  pari^r  irtlich  has 
tho  linajority  after  tho  September  election.  In  the 
San  Joaquin  Valley  tlie  conventions  have  declared  in 
favor  of  stringent  legislation  for  preserving  the  re- 
mainii^  water  soutees,  and  the  adoption  of  a  general 
system  of  lrr4gation.  Every  convention  held  oas  d»- 
eiared  against  the  taxation  of  growing  crops,  and  de- 
manded the  amendment  of  the  present  law  in  that 
regard.  The  foregoing,  with  the  stereotyped  plank 
denouncing  Chinese  immigration,  make  up  the  im- 
portant issues  of  the  campaign  outside  of  San  Fnm- 
cisco,  as  presented  by  the  County  Conventions.  There 
are.  of  course,  local  issues  entering  into  the  campaign 
in  a  few  counties.  Both  parties  are  making  an  ener- 
getlo  canvass.  It  may  b«  anticipated  that  the  next

BURIAL  or  SEVENTH  CAVALRY  MEN. 


IMPOSING     CEBEMbNIES     AT     FORT  i  LEAVEN- 
WORTH,   IN     THB_    PRESENCE     OF     2,000 
SPECTATORS.  \ 
From  th6  Leavenicorih  (Kan.)  Time*,  Aug.  4. 

Early  yesterday  morning  onr  citizens  became 
aware  of  the  arrival  lof  the  remains  of  the  brave  offt- 
eers  who  fell  daring  a  gallant  fight  at  the  battle  of 
the  Little  Big  Horn  on  the  25th  of  June,  1876. 
Before  the  hour  set  for  the  funeral  services  at 
the  chapel  at  Forfc  Leavenworth,  five  artillery  cais- 
sons, drawn  by  bay  hotscs,  were  placed  on  the  north 
side  of  the  chapel  building,  and  were  guarded  by  two 
companies  of  the  Twenty-third  Infantry,  tmder  com- 
mand of  Capt.  Joseph  T.  Haskell^  while  the  band  of 
the  regiment  was!  drawn  up  in  line  a  short  distance 
away.  On  the  south  side  of  the  chapel  a  special  col- 
nnm,  consisting  of  the  Provost  Guard,  was  posted, 
the  whole  being  tmder  the  command  of 
Capt.  C.  a  Ealey.  of  the  Seventh'  Cavalry, 
marshal  of  the  day.  The  streets'  about  the  chapel 
and  around  the  military  prison  were  crowded  with 
cstrriagcs  from  the  Provost  Marshal's  head-quarters. 
^side  the  chapel  the  scene  was  a  most  solenui  one. 
Directly  in  front  of  the  altar,  and  guarded  on  either 
side  by  an  armed  soldier,  were  arranged  the  caskets 
containing  all  that  was  left  of  the  five  officers  who 
had  been  sent  here  for  burial.  They  were  arranged 
with  heads  toward  the  altar,  the  first  on  the  west 
being  thecasketcontainingthe  remains  of  Capt.Tates, 
the  second  Lieut.  Tom  Cusr«r.  the  third  Lieut  Smitti, 
the  fonrth  Capt.  James  Calhoun,  and  the  fifth  Lieut. 
Donald  Mcintosh.  Each  casket  was  draped  in  the 
folds  of  the  Stars  and  Stripes.  Seated  near  the  re- 
mains was  Mrs.  James  Calhoun,  wife  of  Capt.  Cal- 
houn, aad  sister  of  Cien.  George  A.  and  Lieut.  Thomas 
W.  Cluster,  accompanied  lyr  Xieut.  P^ederick  S.  Cal- 
houn. Near  her  was  seated  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Kendall,  of 
Topeka,  cousin  of  Gen,  Caster's  wife,  accompanied 
by  her  husband,  Mrs.  Algernon  Smith,  and  Mrs.  Capt. 
GilW.  Yates.  Near  the  relatives  of  the  deceased  was 
seated  Mrs.  Gen.  W,  T.  Sherman,  with  several  ladies, 
wives  of  distinguished  officers  at  the  fort.  Among 
the  officers  present  were  noticed  not  only  Gen.  John 
Pope.  Commander  of  tho  Department  of  the  Mis- 
souri, but  ids  entire  staff  In  full  uniform.  Every 
commissioned  officer  in  the  garrison  was  also  pres- 
ent, with  the  exception  of  those  who  were  on  im- 
portant duty.  The  little  chapel  was  filled  to  its  ut- 
most with  citizens. 

The  first  part  of  the  solemn  burial  service  of  the 
Episcopal  Church  was  performed  by  Post  Chaplain 
Rev.  John  Woart,  after  which  the  procession  slowly 
filed  out  of  the  chapel,  while  the  guard  of  honor  took 
possession  of  the  caskets,  and  under  command  of  the 
several  officers,  placed  each  on  a  gun-carriage,  while 
the  Twenty-third  Infantrv  Band  rendered  with 
solemn  eflfect  •■  PJerel's  Hymn." 

After  the  coffins  were  properly  arranged  the  pro- 
cession was  formed  in  the  following  order :  Twenty- 
third  Infantry  Band.  Capt.  C.  S.  Ilsley,  mar- 
shal. Two  companies  Twenty-third  Infantry,  with 
reversed  arms,  under  command  of  Capt.  Joseph  T.

mander  of  the  Department  of  the  Missouri,  with  Mrs. 
CllL-n-  W.  T.  Sherman  and  other  ladies.  In  the  second 
carriage  were  relatives  of  the  deceased  officers,  among 
whom  were  Mr,  and  Mrs.  Cliarlcs  F.  Kendall,  of  To- 
pfka.  Twenty  carriages  following  contained  a  ntmi- 
Dt-r  of  the  distant  Relatives  of  tho  unfortunate  moh, 
Tijhillo  in  the  romaitider  of  the  number,  nearly  30«) 
■w;er^  friends  of  tile  old  Seventh  Cavalry  who  had 
known  many  of  th^  officers  during  their  sojourn  at 
Fprti  LeavenworthJ  Great  troulde  was  experienceil 
by  orderlies  to  keep  carriages  from  blmrking  up  the 
roadways,  as  each  driver  wanted  to  stop  at  Uio  insti- 
gation of  the  riders,  in  order  to  see  the  Imposing 
spectacle,  the  like  of  which  has  seldom  occurred  iu 
this  locality. 

The  line  of  march  wss  eastward  from  the  chapel  to 
the  arsenal  rtiad,  thence  south  to  the  avenue  loading

X^  WHIPPING-POST. 
3b  Ote  Sditor  of  The.  iTei^Tork  Ttma : 

Your  reporter's  interview  with  prominent  dti- 
seiu  amd  oiBcials  in  last  Sunday's  Tons  in  regard  to 
the  Introdaction  of  the  whipping-post  as  a  means  of 
punishment  for  criminals,  was  rather  a  startling  af- 
fair. Not  startling  beeauae  of  tiw  aewnesp  of  the 
method.  Perhaps  notlHng  new  oould  be  suggested, 
the  Dark  Ages  having  I«ft  sneh  a  rich  l^acy  of  in- 
ventJoQB  for  exqniaite  tortures  to  be  inflicted  upon 
persons  not  having  the  right  faith,  or  suspect- 
ed of  not  having  it,  Or  of  being  some  sort  of  a 
criminal,  all  the  way  np  or  down  from  the  thtunb- 
screw  to  gridirons*  piseers  for  tearing  the  flesh,  the 
wheel,  the  bastinado,  the  knout,  &e.,  and  all  to  be 
inflicted  as  punishment  to  make  a  law-abiding  or 
opinion-abiding  instrument  of  the  physical  temple  in 
which  it  has  pleased  Clod  to  encase  a  living  soul  But 
the  startling  feature  of  it  all  lies  In  the  prospective 
view  of  the  Immense  number  of  whipping-posts,  and 
the  multitude  of  good,  orderly  citisens  whieh  would 
be  required  to  lash  all  the  men  who  abuse  their  wives 
and  children,  to  say  nothing  of  those  who  commit 
the  worse  crime  of  theft. 

Now,  without  going  into  an  elaborate  dlsetission  as 
to  whether  it  would  or  would  not  be  safer  for  a  na- 
tion's life  and  morals  to  beat  a  man  so  roundly  for 
whipping  his  wife,  for  Instance,  that  he  win  never 
appear  again  for  another  wanning  up  of  his  cuticle, 
bnt  will  prefer  the  opportunity  horded  of  "going 
somewhere  else,"  and  taking  another  wife  upon 
whom  to  inflict  the  valor  of  bis  temper,  and  upon 
some  other  State  the  burden  of  his  olf^nring.  The 
good  results  that  might  arise  by  keeping  a  man 
moving  around  in  that  way  I  will  not  discuss  now, 
but  will  simply  ask  the  blunt  question.  Who  is  re- 
sponsible for  the  tramps  and  criminals  ?  Are 
they  an  outgrowth  of  our  "peculiar  institutions," 
and  beyond  the  means  of  grace,  who  could  not  possibly 
have  been  saved  from  becoming  apest  and  a  dangerous 
burden  to  society,  reqtriring  such  a  large  stock  of  offi- 
cials to  guard  and  pelt  them,  and  such  exorbitant 
taxation  to  oonvict  and  support  theu  >  Let  as  see. 
The  spirit  of  our  imttitutions  is,  to  not  be  before- 
hand with  crime,  az^d  not  to  interfere  with  the  liber- 
ties of  its  citizens ;  but  to  let  each  individual  strug- 
gle to  become  a  good  citizen  or  a  t>ad  one,  as  dream- 
stances  and  natural  Inclination  will  permit.  If  cir- 
cumstances and  natural  inclinations  in  some  develop 
thieves,  then  those  who,  by  better  conditions  and 
care,  have  become  good  citizens,  must  support  a  stand- 
ing army  of  officials  to  arrest  the  thieves,  and  also 
bear  the  expense  of  their  prosecution  and  their  ex- 
penses in  imprisonment,  if  there  is  not  labor 
enough  there  for  them  to  do  thiJ.  Now,  my  good 
brothers  of  whipping-post  faith,  and  all  order- 
loving  and  humane  citizens,  before  yon  Introduce 
the  bastinado,  so  effectual  in  enlighter  ed  Egypt,  or 
the  lash,  so  effectual  once  In  the  Sunny  South,  mease 
to  examine  thoroughly  the  causes  of  crime,  ana  then 
Its  cost — this  luxury  that  we  toll  day  after  day  to 
support  in  massive  edifices,  with  their  magnificent 
retinue  of  guards,  and  for  which  such  poor  returns 
are  given — in  favor  of  the  orderlv  and  moral  condi- 
tion of  the  inmates — ^that  the  whinpiae-post  is  now 
called  for.  After  a  thorough  examination  of  the  cost 
and  results  as  the  matter  now  stands,  let  there  be  a 
careful  estimate  made  of  what  It  would  cost  to  send 
this  Idle  population  to  some  unoccupied  Government 
lands,  colonize  them,  and  teach  them  agriculture  and 
the  useful  arts,  and  try  by  every  possible  appeal  to 
their  better  nature  to  energize  them  into  self-support- 
ing people.  We  might  find  by  careful  estimates  that 
It  would  be  cheaper,  and  haT^pier  in  results,  to  be  be- 
forehand with  crime,  and  thatlnstead  of  treating  peo- 
ple aa  constant  offenders  by  stirriuK  up  the  evil  in 
them,  take  the  more  economical  way  of  educating 
tkem  into  respectable  men  and  women.  If  our  pres- 
ent method  Is  continued,  we  have  nothing  to  look 
forward  to  but  ruin  from  taxation  that  must  swamp 
us. 

Lot  us  for  one  moment  look  at  this  class  of  de- 
graded beings  from  the  human  side,  and  see  how  a 
f>orts(>n  of  tnem  is  made.  We  will  take  the  common 
ahorers  of  this  City  as  an  example.  They  are,  as  the 
world  goes,  honest  laboring  men,  who  work  hy  the 
day.  The  majority  of 'these  men  have  families; 
they  purchase  their  fuel  and  provisions  in  small 
quantities,  which  all  purchasers  know  Is  the  most  ex- 
pensive way ;  they  live  in  tenement-housee  that  often 
subject  their  families  to  sickness,  which  Is  always 
more  or  less  exf>ensive ;  so  it  would  be  a  dim- 
cult  matter  for  tnem  to  lay  by  mueli  money  at  the 
best.  Besides  this,  they  are  men '  who  understand 
but  one  branch  of  labor,  generally ;  have  more  muscle 
than  brain,  because  they  have  been  accu^omodto 
have  their  thinking  done  hy  a  director  or  over- 
seer. They  are.  in  fact,  grown  children,  so  far 
as  possessing  ability  to  look  forward  for  emergencies 
ana  future  provision.  There  comes  a  suspension 
of  busine.<is  or  of  public  woria,  as  the  case  may 
bo,  and  they  are  thrown  out  of  employment.  A 
short  period  without  work  wonld  distress  them  ne- 
cessarily, A  continued  idleness  comes,  and  what 
must  be  the  inevitable  result  f  They  must  take  the 
first  step  downward  in  pauperism  or  erfniinaUty. 
After  the  first  step  is  taken  the  road  is  clear  ttnd  easy, 
for  manhood  is  gone.  Now.  I  earnestly  ask.  as  a 
eitizen  and  tax-payer.  If  we  had  all  the  knouts  and 
bastinadoes  of  the  East,  all  the  whipping-posts  this 
country  can  produce,  all  the  slave  lashes  that  the 
South  once  had.  and  could  have  them  vigorously  ap- 
plied to  these  miscreants,  if  it  would  remove  the  cau^ 
<ir  restore  manhood  to  one  tramp  or  criminal  f  The 
whip  might  make  them  more  obedient  in  their  degre- 
dutlon  as  it  would  a  Klave  crouching  in  fear,  or  our- 
selves brought  under  the  dominion  of  a  lash  from 
which  we  could  not  escape,  no  matter  what  it  de- 
manded. 

It  is  a  sad.  sad  spectacle  to  see  weU-meaning  men, 
though  Ignorant,  willing  and  anxious  to  earn  an  In- 
dei>endent  living,  drifting  Into  criminals  and  tramps. 
the  inevitable  closing  around  them  day  by  day.  until 
finally,  for  the  sake  of  bread,  they  stana  up,  to  our 
view,  as  society's  deadliest  foe.s.  This  Is  baa  enough 
without  the  lash.  Now,  then,  if  the  lash  must  bo 
used,  let  It  first  he  applied  to  the  backs  of  the  bril- 
llaut,  cunning  thieves — those  who  hnve  pilfered  onr 
public  treasuries,  crippled  onr  public  resources,  so 
that  would-be  honest  laborers  cannot  now  get  an  hon- 
est living.  Gentlemen,  if  the  whipping-post  must 
stand  in  onr  midst,  let  the  first  salutary  example  fall 
where  it  really  belongs— on  the  backs  of  our  official 
thieves.  There  is  a  man  in  custody  now  who  has  cost 
itnr  City  enough  to  furnish  comfortable  farm-houses 
for  all  the  little  girls  and  bovs  who  are  infesting  onr 
highways  and  by-ways,  and  are  now  rapidlv  swell- 
ing the  immoral  and  dangerous  classes  oi  com- 
munity. Don't  take  the  poor.  Ignorant  fellow  who 
has  learned  to  take  advantage  of  the  only  school 
which  he  has  been  allowed  to  enter — that  of  crime — 
and  lash  him.  while  the  magnificent  tliief  flaunts  in 
our  faces  a  fulsome  display  of  what  he  has  stolen 
from  us.  L.  M,  B.

A  FEW  POINT.^  ON  THE    LABOR    QUESTION. 
To  (V  Editor  of  tAe  Xevf-  York  Time*  : 

The  great  question  now  belngr  generally  die- 
cussed,  both  in  public  and  private,  loads  me  to  call 
your  attention  to  a  few  points  which  )i&re  not  been 
fully  discussed.  I  would  not  have  brought  them  to 
your  notice,  had  yon  not  evinced  a  disposition  to 
treat  the  subject  from  a  business  point  of  view.  As- 
at  present  organized,  most  eomorations  seem  to  Ig- 
nore the  fact  that  many  of  their  employee  in  sub- 
ordinate positions  are  not  only  fully  comx>etent  to  ad- 
vise, but  often  have  better  opportunities  for  ascer- 
taining the  wisest  poUoy  to  be  pursued  in  their  gen- 
eral management.  Lest  I  be  accused  of  egotism.  I 
will  give  briefly  the  more  prominent  reasons  for  the 
above  assertion  :  When  a  man  is  placed  In  an  official 
position,  whether  through  promotion  or  otherwise, 
he  is  no  longer  on  terms  of  familiarity  with  his  sub- 
ordinates. Although  at  that  time  he  may  be  perfect- 
ly familiar  with  all  the  details,  -he  soon  loses  his 
grasp  of  them  and  fails  to  keep  abreast  of  the  growth 
and  improvement  which  is  constantly  taking  place  in 
every  branch  of  Indtutry.  Thenceforth  he  depends 
almost  entirely  upon  ofliclal  reports,  or  the  scanty 
information  he  may  obtain  from  an  employe  sudden- 
ly ordered  to  re  port  at  head-quarters,  who  is  Imme- 
(Uately  stifled  with  the  air  of  formality  prevading  the 
establishment.  He  feels  that  he  is  exnected  to  in- 
dorse every  measure  that  haa  been  adopted  by  his 
sr^periors,  while  he  mav  be  fresh  from  an  informal 
gathering  of  his  fellow-laborers  where  the  same  sub- 
jects have  been  thoroughly  critidaed  in  familiar  and 
perhaps  profane  terms. 

I  have  seen  useless  expenditures  carried  on  for 
two  or  three  years  amounting  to  $100,000,  when 
the  employes  had  at  the  outset  satisfied  themselves  of 
their  folly.  That  their  views  wer*  correct  was  fully 
proved  by  the  final  change  of  the  system  after  the 
money  had  been  spent,  while  the  results  are  now 
more  satisfactory  than  before.  There  was  no  chan- 
nel through  which  these  men  could  convey  this  in- 
formation or  it  would  have  been  done.  We  have 
learned  by  experience  that  we  usually  get  snubbed 
when  we  Venture  to  make  suggestions  out  of  our  Am- 
mediate  line  of  duty,  and  so  long  as  no  incentive 
whatever  is  held  out  to  stimulate  our  Ideas 
we  mako  no  attempt  to  venture  out  of  the  tread- 
mill path.  The  able  exhibit  of  modem  railroad  man- 
agement made  by  Mr.  P.  M.  Arthur  a  few  days  since 
shows  that  the  engineers  are  well  aware  of  its  most 
glaring  faults.  There  is  probably  not  a  railroad 
company  in  this  country  which  could  not  improve  its 
coniiUtion  by  taking  the  counsel  of  these  men.  We  do 
not  ask  for  oo-operation,  but  merely  a  judidous  sys- 
tem of  promotion  and  fair  treatniont.  ^ 

The  practice  of  cutting  down  pay-rolls  is  far  too 
prominent  a  feature  of  econonucal  mamutement. 
The  pay-roll  is  a  stubborn,  realistic  fact.  It  stares 
the  miAncial  managers  In  the  face  every  week  or 
every  month.  Like  death  and  the  taxes,  it  is  a  eer- 
tabity.  As  it  cannot  be  removed.  It  must  be  re<lneed. 
The  items  of  breakage,  wrecks,  repatre, 
fuel,  &c,  may  occasionally  swell  up  to 
enormous  proportiofis,  but  these  it  is 
supposed  cannot  be  avoided.  Now,  the  fact  is  that 
every  change  in  a  pay-roll  which  produoee  dissatis- 
faction among  employes  will  increase  expenditures  in 
some  other  dnreetion  which  cannot  be  defeeted.  I 
say  diantlstMrtion,  beeaose  faithful  employes  who 
have  been  wvU  treated,  tf  they  understand  a  rednc- 
tion  to  be  neeeMazv.  will  eompiy  with  the  inevHable. 

I  eaked  an  hueTligMit  fereinan  a  few  days  alaee  as 
to  the  rate  of  wmss  paid  tax  his  shop.  Se  said  they

the  moflt  eeoaomical  for  yon  to  vamloy,  I  iaqiiired  t 
The  best  lore  the  cheap«t,  he  sai<Lfor  the  reason 
thai  a  ieb  given  to  them  needs  no  jfurther  attention

I  have  read  much  about  the  law  of  supply  and  de- 
mand in  connection  with  the  labor  queetioo,  and  I 
desire  to  ascertain  why  the  rule  ia  not  applied  to 
the  higher  ofBcials  as  well  as  to  the  subordinates.  It 
is_  net  true  that  skiUed  labmr  can  be  set  up  at  anetkm 
like  merchantable  commodities.  Experience  adds 
value  to  the  very  Icrweat  branches  of  laoor,  and  when 
corporations,  in  order  to  carry  out  a  spirit  of  re- 
ved^  refuse  to  hire  a  union  man,  they  itijuzv 
their  property  by  hiring  green  hands,  who  are  of 
an  .mfenor  ^rtuie,  for  it  is  the  bungling  eUto 
thai  are  out  of  employment  ie  a  gteetal 
thing.  Moreover,  this  same  elase,  when  fairiy 
warm  in  their  places  become  dissatisfied  and  turbu- 
lent in  their  turn,  so  that  unless  fair  WMes  an  paid 
for  a  fair  day's  work,  no  company  can  reuin  a  perma- 
nent, steady,  and  experienced  wotkln*  foree.  The 
men  who  eartr  out  this  policy  are  notur-aeetalff  and 
liberal-mltided.  They  doubtless  value  their  own  ex- 
perieoee  h^hly,  but  do  not  recognize  the  same  qoall- 
flcatioas  in  their  subordinates.  This  greet  qneetion 
is  full  of  rapiifleations.  I  will  not  attempt  to  follow 
them  out.  but  It  conid  be  greatly  simplified  by  the 
more  general  application  to  bunuesa  matters  of  the 
rule,  "  Do  unto  others  as  you  would  be  done  by."  or 
"Pat  yourself  in  his  place."     BS-RAILROADEB.

Your  editorial  in  this  day's  Isshq  headed

cussion of  ttie  establishment  by  Federal  power  of 
a  uniform  rate  per  mile  for  freight  on  all  dlstancea. 
For  instance,  when  four  or  five  railroad  kings  estab- 
lish a  terminal  or  cot  rate,  the  lt>eal  indnstilee  or 
business  of  the  entire  country  along  ea^  route  and 
its  tributaries  to  have  the  benefit  of  the  same 
rate  per  mile,  limited  to  say  distances  of  25  miles. 
I  doubt  if  local  rates  on  any  of  the  great  routes 
have  ever  had  a  percentage  benefit  of  cut  rates,  and 
that  the  local  industries  of  the  entire  country  should 
be  taxed  to  maintun  a  strife  for  the  supremacy  of 
power  of  great  corporations  at  their  termini,  I 
fail  to  see  the  justice  of.  The  effects  of  It  the  lan- 
guishing condition  of  internal  manufactories  will 
corroborate,  and  of  the  necessity  of  their  revival  and 
maintenance  otir  Secretary  of  State,  at  Washington, 
has  already  spoken. 

That  such  i>ower  to  create  valnes  should  exist  in 
even  flve  men  in  an  extent  of  country  like  oon,  and 
of  such  varied  interests.  Is  not  consistent  with  the 
true  interest  of  our  Government.  Th^r  inca- 
pacity to  adhere  to  their  "  very  own  "  agreements, 
the  semi-annual  renewal  of  them,  only  to  bo  again 
broken  by  some  one  of  them,  establishes.  I  doubt 
if  any  human  being  is  capable  of  properly  wielding 
such  power  as  la  referred  to  in  vour  editorial ;  and 
certainly,  during  the  recent  trouble,  one  idone  stands 
out  prominently,  as  "  equal  to  the  situation  "  in 
muntaining  the  morale-  of  12.000  men  In  that 
special  event,  the  culmination  of  which-  reminds 
me  of  the  warning  given  by  New-Jersey's  meet 
loved  spn  against  any  centralization  of  power  as 
antagonistic  to  the  manifest  destiny  of  our  whole 
country.  The  hardest  blow  against  such  centraliza- 
tion has  been  already  struck  by  the  policy  of  Presi- 
dent Hayes.  HIT  ftlAr  AGAIN.

STANLEY  MATTHEWS   ON  FINANCE. 


HOTT  HE  HOPES  TO  CHEAPEN  GOLD  BT  THE 
C8E  OF  THE  DOLLAB  OP  THE  FATHERS 
AND  THE  BLO0I>-STAINED  GREENBACK — 
WHEN  HE  IMAGINES  EESUMPTION  WILL 
COKE. 

The  Cineiimati  Commercial  of  Sunday  prints 
a  repdrt  of  a  eonversation  with  Senator  Stanley 
UatthewB,  in  iChich  he  speaks  as  follows  of  the  pro- 
position relating  to  the  Silver  question,  which  he  pre- 
sented at  an  informal  caucus  held  in  Cleveland  on  the 
eve  of  the  BepubUean  State  Convention : 

"  I  never  professed  on  this  occasion  or  any  other  to  ■ 
represent  the  views  of  the  Administration  or  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury  on  the  financial  question. 
The  proposition  itself  consisted  of  a  resolution  re- 
citing that  the  present  business  distress  of  the  coun- 
try was  largely  due  to  an  appiehension  on  the  part  of 
the  puhlio  that  the  continued  and  Increaaing  decline 
of  values  was  caused  by  the  intended  resumption  of 
specie  payments  on  the  Istof  January,  1879,  as  now 
fixed  by  law.  and  that  the  Besumption  act  itself  fur- 
nished no  ineans  for  the  execution  of  its  purpose, 
except  the  hoarding  of  gold  to  be  purchased  by 
the  sale  of  bonds,  an  attempt  to  do  which  was 
pronounced  ruinous  and  Impracticable.  And  then, 
for  the  purpose  of  eifecting  resumi)tion  of  specie 
pa^'ments,  and  furnishing  a  fixed  and  unfluctuating 
standard  of  value,  with  an  ample  ernrrency  redeem- 
able in  coin  at  par  on  demand,  it  was  proposed :  Fin»t, 
that  Congress  should  restore  to  our  eo£aage  and  the 
circulation  of  the  country  the  ancient  silver  dollar  as 
now  and  always  known  to  our  laws,  to  be  a  legal 
tender  in  payment  of  all  debts,  public  and  private  : 
second,  that' the  legal  tender  quality  of  the  greenback 
notes  should  be  extended,  so  that  they  should  be 
receivable  in  payment  of  Customs  duties,  and  thus 
be  made  equal  in  value  to  coin  ;  third,  that  with  gold 
thus  cheapened  by  diminishing  the  necessity  for  its 
use,  and  silver  appreciated  by  incre  vdng  ita  uses,  the 
requisite  amount  of  paper  circulation  could  and 
ought  to  be  raaintalnea  at  par  with  coin,  and  redeem- 
able and  exchangeable  with  coin  at  par :  fourth,  that 
this  le^lation  Was  essential  and  adequate  to  estab- 
lish the  necessary  conditions  for  resumptloD,  and 
which  oondHIonB,  when  realized,  would  of  them-  ^ 
selves  fix  the  only  date  at  which  resump-- 
tion  was  practicable,  by  making  It  actual. 
When  this  proposition  was  read  in  tho  con- 
ference it  ^rks  accompanied  by  a  verbal  statement  of 
certain  Implied  conditions  wluchfomished  its  expla- 
tiation  and  defense.  The  first  was  that  the  coinage 
of  the  silver  dollar  should  be  on  iiovemment  ac- 
count alone  so  that  until  silver  and  gold  reached  the 
same  par  the  Govenameut  shouldkeep  the  entire 
profit,  consisting  in  the  difference  between  the  value 
of  the  bullion  and  the  coined  sUver.  Silver  coinage 
was  not  to  be  free  untiU'  that  desideratum  was  at- 
tained. Then  the  mints  coald  be  thrown  open  to  all 
who  desired  to  have  silver  coinage,  on  the  same  tenps 
on  which  the  Government  coins  gold.  The  second 
condition  was  that  for  every  silver  ddUar  issued  a 
paper  dollar  should  be  retired,  so  that  by  no  posslbil- 
ftv  could  there  be  any  inflation  of  the  currency.  The 
silver  coinage  was  not  to  add  to  the  bulk  or  quantity 
of  the  ekculation,  bnt  to  be  a  suhstitnte  for  that 
amount  of  paper  money  to  be  withdrawn.  Tlie  third 
condition  was  that  the  control  of  the  silver  coinage 
being  exclusively  retained  by  the  Government,  and 
the  capacity  or  the  mines  being  limited — as  was 
stated,  about  $50,000,000  per  annum — the  ad- 
dition of  silver  to  the  circulation  would  be  so 
gradual  that  if  anv  evils  should  be  developed 
there  would  be  ample  time  before  they  should  be 
realized  to  avert  them  by  subsequent  legislation. 
Our  Government,  in  that  respect,  would  be  precisely 
in  the  same  position  in  which  were  the  Governments 
of  the  Latin  Union,  who.  by  agreement  among  them- 
selves, limited  the  amount  or  their  silver  coinage, 
and  thus  prevented  the  demon  etixation  of  silver  in 
Germany  from  banishing  their  gold  coinage.  We 
would  be  in  a  better  situation.  Indeed,  because  our 
ratio  of  value  between  gold  and  silver  being  as  1  to 
10,  and  theirs  as.l  to  15 ^s,  the  depreciation  of 
silver  would  have  loss  effect  upon  our  gold  <arcula- 
tinn  than  nppon  theirs. 

"In  regardto  the  proposition  to  make  the  greenback 
receivable  for  Customs  duties,  no  objettion  was 
made,  except  that  based  upon  ^he  supposed  pledges 
of  the  Government  to  pay  the  principal  and  interest 
of  the  public  debt  in  coin,  which  was  suppossd  to 
contain  an  implied  obligation  to  collect  the  revenue 
from  Customs  in  coin ;  but  the  substance  of  the  obli- 
gation was  to  pay  the  Interest  of  the  debt  in  coin. 
and  we  could  do  "that  as  well  when  we  collect  the  rev- 
enue in  greenbacks  as  if  we  collected  it  in  coin,  for 
the  Government  could  buy  the  coin  in  the  market 
with  greenbacks  jnst  as  readily  as  private  importers 
could  do.  And  if  the  scheme  was  carried  out,  and 
greenbaolcB,  by  this  new  demand  and  the  re- 
monetization  of  silver,  were  made  equal  In  value 
with  coin,  there  would  be  no  breach  of  faith  with 
the  public  creditor,  and  no  loss  to  the  Government. 
The  quention  as  to  -the  date  of  resumption  was  one 
simply  of  fulfilling  the  necessary  conditions  on  which 
resumption  was  practicable:  and  to  "Say  we  wlU  re- 
sumo  on  the  Ist  of  January,  1879,  and  then  make 
no  provision  by  which  resumption  was  possible,  was 
scarpely  to  'keep  the  word  of  promise  to  the  ear," 
and  clearly  to  '  break  it  to  the  hone :'  whereas,  if 
before  Jan.  1.  1879.  we  brought  about  a  state  of 
things  in  which  paper  was  equal  in  value  to  coin. 
then  we  had  the  fact  of  resumptioa  realized  without 
reference  to  any  mere  legidative  prediction.  It 
might  or  might  not  come  to  pass,  according  as  we 
made  or  did  not  make  provision  for  bringing  it  to 
pa.«R." 

Referring  to  his  recent  visit  to  this  City, 
some  criticisms  upon  it,  Mr.  Matthews  said  :  "  Ti 
facts  are  that  I  made  the  visit  to  New-York  in  quei 
tion  on  professional  business ;  that  I  did  not  take 
occasion  to  give  the  merchants  and  bankers  of  New- 
York  the  benefit  of  my  financial  views  exicept 
when  specifically  inquired  of '  aa  to  my  per- 
sonal opinions.  It  was  perfectly  understood 
that  I  spoke  neither  for  the  President  nor  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury.  What  I  did  say 
was  that  as  a  matter  of  law  the  5,  4^2.  and  4  per 
cent,  bonds  were  pa^ble  in  coin  of  the  standard 
value  of  July  14.  18/0.  and  that  at  that  time  the 
silver  dollar  was  one  of  the  authorized  coins  of  the 
country,  and  that  consequently  these  boTids,  by  the 
terms  of  the  law,  were  payable  either  in  gold  or  sil- 
ver, as  the  Government  might  choose,  provided  it 
was  of  the  standard  value  of  the  date,  fixed.  As  to 
whether  it  would  be  expedient  in  fact  to  pay  them  in 
silver  or  in  gold,  I  gave  no  opinion,  and  I  do  not 
suppose  that  any  private  interpretation  of  the 
statutes  and  acts  of  Congress  aptjlicAble  to  the  case 
can  have  any  efi"ect  whatever.  The  contract  between 
the  Government  and  its  creditors  stands  upon  the 
law,  and  any  version  of  the  law  which  may  be  put 
Upon  it.  whether  by  a  Senator,  the  Secretaiy  of  the 
Treasury  or  the  President  of  the  United  States, 
will  have  no  effect  '  except  so  far  as  its 
accuracy  may  stand  the  test  of  judicial  invostifation. 
No  one  dearos  more  heartily  than  myself  the 
restoration  of  ^ecie  paymenta.  I  propose  to 
show  my  faith  by  my  works,  and  I  expect  to  prove 
the  sinceritv  of  'my  profession  by  advocating  the 
moans  which  make  restmiption  practicable.  I  think 
a  profeaslon  In  favor  of  paying  specie  at  a  day  named 
in  tho  future,  without  providing  the  means  to  do  it 
with,  ia  a  hollow  and  miechievous  piece  of  business. 
To  provide  the  means  for  restimlng  specie  payments 
is  the  material  thing,  and  may  be  done  without  namr- 
Iftg  the  day.  tl  it  can  be  done  before  the  Ist  of  Jan- 
niiy,  I87v,  I  ahiJl  rejoiee,  but  I  am  quite  confident 
'  it  eaonot  be  dexke  at  tibat  time,  unless  in  the  maaa-

A  Boston  correspondent  of  i}ie  ChleagD  Slmo* 
lias  been  ont  to  Moimt  Aabnro,  at  Cambridge,  aa^ 
thus  discourses  of  some  of'  the  snves  ha  taeaaS 
there: 

''Beeton  and  Cambridge  are  sltnatoa  ongrotznil 
almost  flat,  and  Mount  ^ubnm  lies  Jnrt  where  the. 
hills  begins  to  rise,  thus  th^vlTt^  its  natural  sttoatioa 
quite-beantifuL.  Among  the  hills  are  snmberiess  lit- 
tle ponds,  each  one  throwing  up  a  fountain  from  iM 
centre.  A  small  stone  chapel  of  tasteful  azehiteo- 
tore  stands  on  the  top -of  one  of  the  lolls,  and  a, 
tower,  also  of  stone,  upon  another.  In  the  ehapel^ 
the  last  ceremonies  are  performed  before  the  intei^ 
inent.  The  inside  aawell  as  the  ontaide  is  finished 
eff  with  stone,  and  the  four  rtomeis  are  adorned  with 
the  statues  of  four  of  Ma«sachaserti'  worthlee— John

— it  bavins  been  erwited-  to  commemozate  Cbe  aciU 
diors  who  fell  in  the  war.  Mount  Aubom  was  openea 
in  1831,  and  the  first  remains  deposited  them  war« 
those  of  Hannah  Adams,  the  eccentric  historian  at 
■the  Jews.  In  walking  along  one  of  the  hillsldee  one 
runs  across  the  grave  of  the  matbematieian  Bow- 
ditch.  Over  his  remains  a  bronze  figure  of  b^^n^elf 
sits  In  a  chair  of  the  same  material,  with  a  book  iaj 
band^— probably  his  Pra/^tical  Xavigator — aood  a  ^ob» 
and  other  instruments  beside  him,  the  whole  givingj 
the  impression  that  he  is  still  engaged  In  mathemaM

tracts  much  attention  on  account  of  it''  very  modeaty. 
Prof.  Agassiz  has  a  monument  most  unique  in  tts 
character.  It  is  a  rough  piece  of  granite  rock,  having 
on  one  Hide  his  name,  and  on  the  other  these 
words;  'Boulder  from  the  Aar  glacier,' the  scene  d 
Agas^z's  early  studies. :  This  rock  w»»  biaated  ont  oi 
the  glacier  by  the  peasants  of  that  neighl>orhoodi 
who  cherish  ver>-  dearly  the  name  of  Agasstr,  u>4 
wae  dragged  by  them  many  miles  over  the  snow  ttf 
where  transportation  coul&  be  obtained  to  send  it  to 
this  country.  A  mot^  fitting  monument  for  the  na*; 
uralist  there  could  not  be.  and  that  it  was  the  preet 
ent  of  these  peasants  makes  It  parfiio-, 
ularly  interesting.  More  expressions  of  »ur-j 
prise  are  expressed  at  Slnmner's  grave  tha&i 
at  any  other  in  Mount  Auburn.  It  is  a  pleasast; 
spot  on  a  little  path  just  to  one  side  of  the  main  road[ 
which  runs  from  the  chapel  to  the  tower.  A  greet 
oak  rises  a  little  before  yon  get  to  the  grave,  «id 
throws  its  kindly  shade  over  t  ne  statesman's  resting- 
place.  Xo  magnificent  montimental  shaft  with  elab.

or  so  in  height,  with  the  brief  subscription  :  '  Charles 
Sumner,  born  Jan.  6.  ISll.  died  March  11,  1874," 
infonhs  the  stranger  that  he  stands  before  the  grave 
ofagltttit.  What  better  commentary  could  there  be 
on  Somner  than  his  humble  headstone!  Xa 
long  epitaph  could  so  well  express  his  unosten*^ 
tatious  manner  and  the  beautiful  siu^lieity] 
of  his  life.  No  lover  of  the  American  drama  ca^ 
visit  Mount  Auburn  without  seeking  out  Charloctaj 
Cushmans grave.  A  few  months  before  her  death! 
Miss  Cnshman  wss  in  Boston,  and,  doubtless  awmre 
by  the  state  of  the  affliction  under  which  she  -wb*- 
suffering  that  her  end  was  not  far  off.  went  out  to 
Mount  Auburn  and  picked  out  the  OKit  where  she  de- 
sired to  be  buried.  She  found  a  lot  on  the  side  of 
the  hUl  on  which  tiie  tower  is  situated,  whlt^  had 
been  passed  over  by  other  pnrebasera,  and  imme. 
diately  bou^t  it.  She  did  so,  she  said,  becanse  tiis 
spot  commanded  a  full  view  of  the  winding  Charles 
and  of  her  native  Boston,  which  she  loved  so  well. 
As  yet  no  stone  is  over  her  grave.  A*  Mount 
Auburn  is  quite  modem,  it  is  wanting,  of  course,  ia 
stones  with  the  ancient  and  antique  inscriptions, 
suclh  as  are  usually  found  in  NewEnnbuid  ceme- 
terie-s.  Tet  there  is  one  which  is  odd  enough  to  be 
in  a  grave-yard  of  a  much  earlier  date.  One  lot  eojw 
tains  flve  stones,  one  at  each  (lorner  and  one  in  tb< 
centre.  The/our  comer  stones  bear  inscriptions  re* 
spectively,  'Mv  I  Wife.' '  My  II  Wife,'  "My  III  Wife/ 
and  '  My  tX  Wife, '  while  the  one  in  the  middle  hsai 
this.  'Our  Husband.'  Each  wife  .<eemstociaim  antm' 
divided  one-fourth  of  the  poor  man.  The  vaults  in 
Mount  Anbnm  are  numerot-s,  but  a  cromation  fun 
n&cc  has  not  yet  been  proviaed.  The  vau]  ts  nsnalla 
have  marble  doors,  and  it  is  cot  very  diflBcult  to  pi^ 
the  locks.  In  old  times,  when  baring  was  rife  a4 
Harvard,  the?^  ^-aults  were  used  as  the  rec^tacle  oi 
persecuted  Freshmen.  In  the  dead  of  night  a 
swift  but  silent  procession  would  carry  the  neophyte 
to  college  customs,  just  aroused  from  sweet  dreams 
of  home,  and  often  but  thinly  clad,  along  the  road 
which  leads  from  Harvard -square  to  Mount  Auburn, 
and  ha\'in£  deposited  him  in  one  of  these  cold  stone 
houses,  would  entertain  him  for  some  titne  with 
moans  of  a  supernatural  and  infernal  character  and 
with  figures  of  ghosts.  All  ^iKirts  of  this  kind  have 
been  done  away  with  at  Harvard  of  late,  and  the 
vaults  are  now  only  used  for  their  legitimate  pop

THE  GOVERNOR  OF  VIRGINIA,  .  I 
WHAT  ROBERT  E.  LEE  THOUGHT'  OF  TEffi  0P«; 
nCE— WHY  HB  WAS  UXWILUJiG  TO  BE  A 
CAXDIDATK   IN   1S67. 

As  pertinent  to  the  meeting  of  the  Tlrginisk 
Democratic  State  Convention,  the  Richmond  I>iipataf 
reproduces  the  following  letter,  written  10  yeusi 
since,  by  the  late  Gen.  Robert  E.  Lee : 

LmNGTOX.  Va.,  Feb.  4.  19G7.   I' 
Son.  Eobert   Onld.  yirgxrtia   Senate  Riehnu}n<i.  T<L.t 

I  received  to-day  yonr  letter  of  the  Slst  ult..  and. 
the  subject  to  which  it  relates  is  so  important  that; , 
though  confined  to  mv  room  by  indisposition,  I  reply 
at  once.  I  feel  greatlv  honored  at  what  yon  say  is' 
the  prevailing  wish  of  leading  men  in  the  State — 
that  I  should  acwpt  the  nomination  for  the  olllee 
of  Governor  of  Virginia — and  I  duly  appreciate. 
the  spirit  that  has  led  them  to  name  me  lor  that 
high  poation.  I  candidly  confess,  however,  that 
my  feelings  induce  mo  to  prefer .  private  lifa^ 
which  I  thmk  more  suitable  to  my  condition  and  a^ 
and  where,  I  believe,  I  can  better  advance  the  in- 
terests of  my  State  than  in  that  you  jiropose.  Yoe 
will  agree  vrith  me.  I  am  sure.  In  the  opinion  thai 
thus  is  no  time  for  the  indulgence  of  personal  or  poi 
litical  considerations  In  selecting  a  person  to  fill  that 
office ;  nor  should  it  be  regarded  »<t  a  means  of  re- 
warding individuals  for  supposed  former  services. 
Tlie  welfare  of  the  State,  and  the  interests  of  her 
citizens  should  be  the  only  principle  of  selection. 
Believiug  th.il  there  are  men  In  the  State  more  ca- 
pable than  I  am  of  filling  the  position,  and  who  could 
do  more  to  promoto  the  interests  of  the  people,  I 
most  respectfully  decline  to  be  considered  a  candl> 
date  for  the  ofllce. 

I  think  it  important  In  selecting  a  chief  magia- 
trato  of  the  Omimonwealth  for  the  citizens  to  chooae 
one  capable  of  fulfilling  its  falgh  trust,  and  at  tbtf 
same  time  not  liable  to  misconstruction^  which  their 
choice  of  one  objectionable  to  the  General  Govern- 
ment would  be  sure  to  create,  and  thereby  increaM 
the  evils  under  which  the  State  at  present  labors. 

I  hav«  no  means  of  knowing  other  than  are  ap- 
parent to  you  whether  my  election  aa  *>ovemor  of 
Virginia  would  b«  personally  injurious  to  me  or  not, 
and.  therefore,  the  coneideration  of  tlmt  question  io 
vour  letter  has  not  boen  embraced  In  my  r^ply.  But 
1  believe  it  would  be  used  by  tho  dominant  party  t6 
excite  hostility  toward  the  State  and  to  injure  tha 
people  in  the  eyes  of  the  country,  and  I  therefore 
cannot  consent  to  become  the  Instrument  of  briuging

HoNESDAi^,  Penn.,  Aug.  8, 1877. 
On  Aug.  8,  1829,  48  years  ago  toniBy, 
the  flrst  locomotlvd  that  ever  tamed  a  driving- 
wheel  on  a  railroad  track  in  America,  was  run  at 
Uils  place  on  the  newly-finished  road  that  con- 
nected the  Lackawanna  coal  fields  with  tide- 
water on  the  Hudson^  hy  way  of  the  Delaware 
and  Hnd^n  CanaL  The  road  in  question  was 
the  flrst  of  any  general  commeFeial  importance 
ever  bnilt  in  this  country,  and  inaugurated  the 
economical  system  of  inclined  planes  since 
adopted  by  engineers  wherever  practicable.  Up 
to  the  8th  of  August,  1829,  there  were  only  12 
miles  of  railroad  in  operation  in  America — three 
miles  o£  a  five-foot  'gaug^  road  running 
from  the  Quincy  granite  quarries  to  the  Napon- 
aett  River,  in  Massskchnsetts,  and  the  novel 
**  mule  road,'' nine  miles  in  length,  connecting 
the  Summit  Hill  Coal  Mines,  back  of  Hauch 
Chunk,  with  the  Lehigh  Eiver.  The  road  be- 
tween Honesdale  and  Carbondale  was  16  miles 
In  length,  and  was  the  result  of  the  enterprise 
and  persistency  of  Maurice  and  William  Wurts, 
the  pioneer  coal  operators  of  the  Xiaokawanna 
Valley,  who  introduced  the  first  anthracite  coal 
Into  New-York  City.  Railroad  building  was,  at 
the  time  mentioned,  justbeglnning  to  awaken  in- 
terest among  capitalists.  The  first  great  enter- 
prise of  the  kind — the  Liverpool  and  Manchester 
fiailway  in  England — had  been  in  process  of  con,- 
■tmetion  for  some  time,  and  was  approaching 
eoimpletion.  George  Stephenson,  the  father  of 
■team,  locomotives,  was  struggling  with  the 
Xoanagers  of  that  company  for  the  introduction  of 
■team  as  a  motive  power  'on  the  road. 
His  experiments  had  attracted'  attention  in 
thia  contry.  Pending  the  decision  as  to  whether 
locomotivea  should  be  used  on  the  Liverpool 
road,  Horatio  Allen,  who  had  been  John  6. 
■Tervis*  assistant  engineer  in  the  construction  of 
the  Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal,  went  to  Eng- 
land to  examine  into  the  merits  of  steam  as  ap- 
plied to  transportation  on  railroads.  He  was 
latisfied  that  Stephenson's  idea  would  revolu- 
tionize all  branches  of  commerce,  and,  acting  on 
hia  Judgment,  Mr.  Jervis,  by  authority  of  the 
company,  commissioned  him  to  purchase  three 
steam  locomotives  for  use  on  the  pioneer  road 
of  America.  Qeorge  Stephenson  was  at  the 
time  busy  in  preparing  his  subsequently 
famous  engine,  the  Rocket,  for  trial 
on  the  Liverpool  and  Manchester  Bail- 
way.  Allen  contracted.  therefore,  with 
ether  machinists — Foster,  Rastwick  &  Co.,  of 
Stourbridge — to  construct  the  machines  for 
the  American  company.  About  the  middle  of 
May,  1S29,  one  or  them  reached  thi^  country 
tn  the  ship  John  Jay,  and  was  landed  at  the  foot 
of  Beach-street,  New- York.  The  West  Point 
Foundry  yard  was  then  at  the  foot  of  that 
street.  Mr.  Allen  put  the  machine  together, 
and  blocking  its  wheels  clear  of  the  ground,  ex- 
hibited its  workings  by  means  of  steam  gen- 
erated with  coal  tl^t  had  been  brou|:ht  from 
the  mines  the  engine  was  intended  to  transport 
cars  fronr.  For  six  weeks  the  wonderful  ma- 
chine was  visited  by  thousands.  Then  it  was 
eent  up  the  North  Mver  to  Rondout._and  from 
there  forwarded  in  boats  up  the  canal  to  Honesr 
dale. 

The  intention  of  the  company  had  been  to 
open  the  road  and  canal,  and  celebrate  the  run- 
mzig  of  the  locomotive  on  the  Fourth  of  July, 
1829.  but  the  work  was  delayed  so  that  it  was 
not  ready  for  use  until  the  1st  of  August.  The 
locomotive  had  arrived  on  the  23d  of  July. 
When  the  road  was  in  readiness  the  engine  was 
set  up  on  the  track  on  the  company's  coal  dock, 
nnder  direction  of  Mr.  Allen.  This  i)rtautive 
railroad  trafk  consisted  of  hemlock  r&iU,  eight 
Inches  by  Jen  in  thickness,  placed  four  feet, 
three  inches  apart,  and  spiked  to  hemlock  ties, 
with  a  space  of  10  feet  lb«etween  them.  The 
timber  had  not  been  well  seasoned,  wid  being 
pot  down  under-a  Midsummer  sun.  wtfs  warped 
and  twisted  out  of  all  regularity  by  the  time  the 
trial  of  the  locomotive  was  to  be  made.  The 
road  ran  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
along  the  coal  docks,  facing  the  village, 
which  had  sprang  suddenly  from  the 
wilderness  at  the  beck  of  the  canal,  and  had 
been  named  Honesdale,  in  honor  of  Philip  Hone. 

-  formerly  Mayor  of  New- York,  and  a  patron  of 
the  gn^t  coal  enterprise.  After  quitting  the 
docks  the  track  ttimed  abruptly  to  the  west  by 
a  curve  of  most  threatenizig  radius,  and  crossed 
the  Lackawanna  Kiver  over  a  slender  hemlock 
trestle,  nearly  100  feet  hdgh.  When  the  pon- 
derous locomotive  was  placed  on  the  track,  the 
Impression  l»ecame  general  thet  it  was  too  hea\'y 
to  be  borne  by  the  hemlock  rails,  and  Mr.  Allen 
was  importuned  by  many  prominent  men  among 
the  vast  assemblkge  of  spectators,  not  to 
attempt  the  crossing  of  the  trestle.  He 
saw  the  great  danger  at  a  glance,  but  feel- 
ing that  locomotive  power  on  railroads  was 
destined  to  become  tuuversal  in  years  to  come, 
the  pride  of  possessing  the  distinction  of  hav- 
ing been  the  man  to  direct  the  energies  of  the 
first  one  on  the  continent,  overpowered  his 
sense  of  danger,  and  he  declared  that  ho  would 
make  the  triplet  the   consequences  be   what 

-  they  might.  He  steamed  up  the  engine,  and 
after  running  it  slowly  backward  and  forward 
on  the  dock  in  sight  of  the  aesenxbled  hundreds 
for  a  few  minutes,  ha  pulled  the  throttle-valve 
Open,  and  shouting  a  loud  "  good-bye  "  to  the 
crowd,  dashed  away  from  tlie  village,  around 
the  curve,  and  over  the  shaking  and  swaying 
trestle  at  a  m,te  of  speed  estimated  at  15  miles 
an  hour.  He  ran  several  miles  up  the  track, 
and  then  returned  to.  the  village  amid  the 
shouts  of  the  populace  and  the  booming  of 
cannon.  Although  the  locomotive,  as  a  locomo- 
tive, was  a  perfect  success,  the  railroad  was  not 
calculated  to  stand  its  use,  and  the  expense  of 
adapting  it  teethe  weight  ocf  the  locomotive  be- 
ing too  grreat  to  call  for  consideration  at  that 
day,  the  engine  was  "housed"  in  a  shanty  on 
the  dock,  where  it  lay  for  years,  a  prey  to  neg- 
lect and  decay.  Its  boiler  was  fineuly  taken  to 
Carbondale,  where  it  is  in  use  and  in  excellent 
•rder  to-day.  The  pump  was  used  by  an  em- 
))Ioye  of  the  company  for  several  years,  and  was 
at  last  washed  away  by  a  freshet  and  lost.  The 
rest  of  the  machinery  was  broken  up  and  sold 
for  old  iron.  The  two-other  locomotives  shared 
HiQ  same  fate.  Only  one  or  two  relics  of  the 
pioneer  locomotive  of  America  are  in  ex- 
Jsteuce  today.  The  engine  was  called  the 
Stourbridge  Lion,  from  the  place  of  its  manufac- 
ture. The  nkachine  weighed  seven  tons,  four 
tons  being  what  the  contract  called  for.  There 
were  four  wheels,  eonnocted  by  side-roda. 
Vertical  cylinders  on  each  side  of  the  rear  end 
of  the  boiler  communicated  motion  to  a  huge 
^walking  beam,  connected  with  the  side-rods  of 
the  driving-wheels  by  other  long  iron  rods.  .  The 
engine  was  covered  with  rods  and  joints,  and  its 
appearance  was  that  of  a  great  grasshopper. 
Jonn  B.  Jervis,  who  ordered  the  locomotive,  and 
Horatio  Allen,  who  ran  it,  are  atUl  living,  the

The  cremation  ceremonies  yesterday  over 
the  remains  of  the  late  Dr.  WInslow  attracted  a  great 
crowd  of  people.  Some  went  as  mottmers  and  friends 
of  the  deceased,  othen  for  the  purpose  of  intelllgeat 
observation,  and  a  lazge  nnmber  uzged  hy  a  vulgar 
carioaltv. 

Ahout  5:30  o'clock  the  body  was  brought  from  Sex- 
ton Taylor's  to  the  crematory  and  was  Uk^tjsa.  <^iarge 
of  by  the  pallbearers,  Judges  McKean,  Hajrdon,  and 
Hagan,  and  Messrs.  O.  J.  HoUister,  Fredi  Xioddey, 
and  J.  K.  Taylor.  By  these  gentlemen  the  eoflln  was 
carried  to  the  rear  of  the  furnace,  inhere  the  last 
looks  wer9to  be  taken  and  the  last  ceremonies  to  be 
carried  oat  The  rilenee  was  iny)r9stiv©;  the 
crowd  so  demonstrative  and  excited  a  few 
moments  before  standing  wit»  uncovered  heads  In 
respectful  and  reverential  silence.  The'  deceased 
being  a  disbeliever  In  fixed  fonos  of  religion,  the 
usxuu  coremoniea  of  borlal  were  not  ooserred.  "So 
prayer  was  uttered,  no  sermon  preached,  no  funeral 
anthem  sang.  Some  taatefnlly-wrou^t  wreaths  of 
flowers  were  laid  upon  the  temporary  casket,  and 
lent  the  only  softemng  influence  to  the  scene  :  yet 
though  the  conventional  forms  of  religttm  were  dis- 
pensed with,  one  could  not  he-lp  realizing  the  aol- 
emnity  of  the  occasion  nor  foreet  that  a  human 
behig,  once  full  of  life  and  intelligence,  IHy  there — 
cold,  silent,  and  dead — a  portentona  contr^  to  the 
excited  and  inconaldeTate  throng  which  soxrounded 
his  remains.  '  I 

The  funeral  assembly,  if  it  may  be  so  palled,  wai 
first  addressed  by  Dr.  Hamilton,  to  whose  untiring 
ei^rUons  the  succeas  of  the  undartaldng  is  mainly 
due.  The  Doctor  explained  the  cremation  to  be 
brooght  about  by  the  desire  of  the  deceased  as  ex- 
pressed in  his  wui  and  on  previous  occaaions  for  tho 
past  40  years,  and  spoke  feelingly  of  his '  many  vir- 
tneSt  his  native  and  acquired  abilitleij,  and  of  the 
good  motives  and  Christiau  conduct  which  had  made 
His  whole  existence  satisfactory  to  himself  and  bene- 
ficial to  hia  race. 

Dr.  Hamilton,  on  concluding  hjs  remarks,  intro- 
duced Gen.  Bane,  who  eloqiiently  eulogized  the  char- 
acter of  his  late  friend,  whom  h4  pointed  out  as  a 
model  worthv  of  imitation  to  the  young.  ,  The  Gen- 
eral then  spoke  of  the  sentiinenta  entertained  by  Dr. 
"Winslow  relative  to  the  subject  of  cremation,  and 
enlarged  on  tiie  repnlslveness  and  |  evil  sanitary  re- 
sults of  slow  decay  in  the  earth. 

Dr.  Smart,  of  Camp  Douglass,  followed,  and  showed 
himself  to  be  an  aole  sp^ker  and  a  thoroughly 
scientific  and  earnest  advocate  of  cremation.  With 
r^ard  to  views  entertained  by  people  on  thU  sub- 
ject, he  made  a  division  of  two  classes:  First,  the 
majority  who  uphold,  as  a  result  of  early  edacatioa 
and  Inherited  sen timentalism.  the  conventional  forms 
of  disposing  of  the  body,  and  who  regard  cremation 
as  a  sacriligious  interference  with  established  and  di- 
vine rules ;  and  second,  tho  I  exceptional  few  who  be- 
lieve in  creimation  as  a  sanitary  meaanre  and  as  a 
natural  and  proper  dispositipn  of  the  body,  and  who 
claim  that  by  this  proceKs  no  uoxIoub  gases  are 
evolved,  no  complex  organid  substances  produced  to 
taint  the  air  and  poison  the  water  for  theiiving.  Dr. 
Smart  made  a  ^rong  argument  against  the  oM  form 
of  bnrial,  showing  that  metallic  and  air-tight  coffins 
and  processes  of  embalming  prevent  a  natoral  de- 
composition of  the  body  andretard  the  rettxm~Of  dust 
to  dust. 

Aftra*  the  conclosion  Of  ;these  remarka'  the  body 
was  reanoved  from  the  casket,  deposited  on  a  plate  of 
iron,  and  devoted  to  the  consuming  fires  of  the  f  or- 
nace.  The  time  occupied  by  the  prooeas  of  incinera- 
tion was  2  hours  and  35  minutes,  and  the  weight  of 
the  ashes,  after  a  thoroa^  and  snccessfol  reduction, 
was  four  pounds,  four  ounces.  His  weiuht  had  been 
reduced  from  aboiit  185  jKiunds  at  the  time  of  his 
death,  to  126  pounds  when  the  body  was  put  into 
the  furnace.  The  fires  had  been  kept  up  for  some 
hours  preWona  to  the  eommeacement  of  uie  erema- 
tion,  hence  the  ftimace  was '  extremely  hot  when  the 
corpse  was  placed  in  the  |Chamber.  The  furnace 
b^ng  reverberatory.  the  flames  passed  all  around  the 
body,  which,  viewed  through  the  plate  •  of  iiinglasa 
in  tne  iddes  of  the  chamber. !  appeared  to  be  a  mass  of 
blazing  fire  from  a  few  momenta  after  the  flame 
touched  it  until  the  fiexh  had  vani^>ed  and  the  bones 
began  to  cyumble.  The  ash  is  a  clear  white,  and, 
after  behig  removed,  was  reduced  in  balk  io  a  mor- 
tar. It  will  be  preserved  in;  a  case,  as  directed  in  the 
doctor's  wiU,  and  sent  east  to  be  placed  on  his  wife's 
cofftn. 

Duihie  the  burning  a  most  offensive  odor  escaped 
from  the  flnea,  and  was  observed  by  people  00  or  tiO 
rods  ficom  the  furnace.  |

SHALL  THET  BE  PAID  OB  SHALL  THET  BE 
BEPUDIATED — THE  MAIN  QUESTION  OF 
THE  CAMPAIGN  NOW  OPENING. 
A  recent  letter  from  ^Vhite  Sulphur  Springs, 
Va.'to  the  Louisville  Courier-Journal  saya  that  the 
State  politicians  there  are  mainly  interested  in  the 
question.  "  Shall  the  State  of  Virginia  preserve  her 
integrity  by  the  payment  |  of  her  bonds  Jdb  full,  or 
shall  t&ere  be  a  compulsory  readjostment  ot  her 
debt  t'^  which  ia  tantamount  to  repudiation.  The 
following  is  given  by  the  same  letter  in  explanation  : 
"  At  the  close  of  the  war  a  Military  Government  was 
established  in  Virania.  The  formation  of  the  State 
of  West  Virginia  Sad  been  ■  accomplished,  and  it  was 
declared  a  legaUy  constituted  State  by  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  State^.  The  State  of  Vfrginia 
att4:anpred  to  make  a  settlement  with  her  creditors, 
andpasscd  what  Is  known  as  the  '  Fundin|[  bill,'  by 
whichiits  bonds  were  scaled; one-thjrd,  and  new  bonds 
Isaaedl  to  which  were  attached  coupons  receivable  in 
payment  for  all  dues  to  the  State.  This  was  for 
two-ttlirds  of  the  anti-war  State  debt, 
(^33.000.000,)  the  debt  created  by  the  war 
havimc  been  wiped  out  by  the  fourteenth 
amendment  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
StatesL  One-third  of  the  debt,  ($11,000,000.-)  it 
vraa  claimed,  was  justly  due  by  the  State  of  "West 
Virginia,  and  for  this  portion  certificates  were  iasned, 
payable  whenever  a  settlement  was  effected  between 
virgima  and  "West  Virpiiia,  Mid  nbt  before.  Com- 
miasicmers  were  appointed  by.-the  two  States,  but 
they  failed  to  agree  upon  any  adjnstmont.  Some  of  j 
the  Commissioners  from  We»t  Virginia  contended 
that  they  owed  no  portion  of  the  debt,  the  internal ! 
improvements  for  which  it  was  created  [being  all  out- ' 
sidEe  of  West  Virginia  except  a  few  mud  tompiices, 
which  were  now  valueless,  but  which  they  were 
willhig  to  estimate  at  $1,000,000.  This  brought 
the  matter  to  a  dead-lock,  and  so  it  has  re- 
.*jn*^td  ever  since.  The  certificates  sell  Jn  tlie'  mar- 
ket at  oig  rents  on  the  dollar.  About  $20,000,000 
of  the  debt  of  Virginia  was  funded,  and  about 
.$8,000,000  of  accumulated  interest  and  some  bonds 
have  not  been  funded.  Of  the  funded  debt  the  cou- 
pons are  receivable  for  taxes,  but  for  the  payment  of 
the  JJB.OOO.OOO  mentioned  no  provision  whatever 
has  been  made.  The  main  point  in  the  Gubernato- 
rial race  is  the  readjustment,  whether  or  no,  of  the 
entire  $28,000,000  of  funded  and  unfunded  debt. 
Gen.  Mahone  is  the  champion  of  'readjustment,' 
which  means  a  compromise  with  tho  holders  of  the 
entire  amount  of  bonds  ($2S,000.00*>)  if  possible. 
And  should  the  eflfort  fail  then,  in  all  probability, 
repudiation.  Tlie  candidates,  other  than  Slahpne, 
are  all  strongly  for  upholding  the  honor,  integrity, 
and  credit  of  the  State,  and  opposed  to.  repudiation 
in  any  shape  or  any  guise.*' 

GOV.  STOyE  OF  MISSISSIPPI. 
The  Jackaon  (Miss.)  Times,  a  Kepublican 
j>aper,  thus  refers  to  the  nomination  of  Gov.  Stone 
by  the  Democratic  Convention  of  that  State :  **  Gov. 
Stone  has  failed  to  create  any  enthusiasm  .among 
the  ];>eople  at  the  mention  of  his  name".  There  has 
been  nothing  In  his  administration  of  the  office  that 
biyq  marked  him  as  the  man  for  the  place — nothing 
that  indicated  any  other  than  ordinary  qualifications. 
He  has  exhibited  but  little  else  than  being  a  mere 
yny^hinft  man.  He  ran  the  Hlxecutive  ofSce  at  the 
dictation  of  those  above  him,  and  wholly  in  the 
interest  of  the  worst  class  of  the  Bour- 
bon Democracy.  It  was  the  Chairman  i 
of  the-State  Executive  Committee  of  the  party,  who . 
issued  the  proclamations  to  > the  people.  It  was] 
he  who  said  what  ought,  or  what  ought  not  to  be  j 
done  at  any  given  time.  It  was  he  who  held  that  the  I 
Governor  was  aM  powerful  at  one  time,  bat  hod 
nO'pcFwer  at  all  at  another  time  to  bring  offenders  to ' 
justice.  It  was  he  who  '  apologized'  for  the  Kemper 
CooBtyriotto  the  whole  Unit^  States,  and  it;  waa, 
his  advice  that  controlled  the  Kxecutave's  action,  i 
No  wonder  that  a  renomination  of  such  a  man 
should  fij^  no  hearty  response  among  the  i>eople."    I

ENpj  OF  TttE  VITEIOL-THKOWING  CASE — 
IWIDOW  GRAS  COXDEMNED  TO  riFTEEN 
TEABS'  HARD  LABOR — HER  ACCOMPLICE 
SENTENCED  TO  TEN  TEARS'  LUPRISON- 
MENT. 
Parit  Dispatch  to  the  London  Keicg,  July  27. 

At  2  to-day  a  report,  causing  some  excite- 
ment, went  throngh  Paris  that  the  Widow  Gras  had 
been  acquitted.  It  seemed  very  doubtful,  after  M. 
JiBChand's  speech,  whether  ahe  would  be  convicted. 
Some  of  the  jurymen,  it  was  known  this  morning, 
were  embarrassed  atmut  some  points  in  the  prosecu- 
tion which  theytbought  weak.  Gaudry,  for  Instance, 
might  have  obtained  the  vitriol  In  the  factory  where 
be  worked,  or  been  familiar  with  the  ways  of  the 
house  in  the  Rue  de  Boulogne,  or  been  hidden  there 
the  whole  evening  unknown  to  the  mlstreas  and 
servant :  but,  as  the  Judge  remarked,  while 
admitting  that  his  jealousy  was  proportionate  to  his 
undoubted  love,  the  old  playmate  would  not  explain 
how  he  knew,  unless  the  widow  Qraa  wrote  to  him, 
that  X>e  Lta  Roche  was  coming  from  Anjou  to  accom- 
pany her  to  the  Bal  de  1-Opera,  Has  knowledge  of 
this  appointment  pointed  to  a  conspiracy.  Tnere 
was  also  the  fact,  sworn  to  by  one  of  the  most  emi- 
nent of  European  oculists,  that  while  the  eye,  which 
la,  not  quite  de\troyed,  was  under  treatment,  a  eorro- 
ai've  liquid,  probably  eau  de  javelle,  which  la  n&ed  by 
washerwomen  to  whiten  Uneu,  waa,  after  l>e  T^a 
Roche  was  sent  to  sleep  with  chloral,  noured  into  it. 
There  waa  a  buttle  of  this  fluid  in  the 
house,  and  it  was  never  ordered  by  the 
widow.  Dr.  Weckcr  threw  up  the  case 
when  he  suspected  foul  i)lay  and  was  unable  to  pre- 
vent it.  Tne  behavior  of  M.  Da  La  Roche  in  court 
gave  to  the  affair  a  sentimental  interest  whirb  it  was 
thought  would  touch  the  jury.  The  gossip  of  the 
P^au  de  Justice  ia,  however,  that  some  of  them 
would  have  given  her  the  b*>uefit  of  different  donbtti 
had  it  not  b^n  that  they  thought  after  the  efforts  of 
^Q  unfortunate  young  man  to  slur  over  what  he 
thought  damaging  to  her,  it  appeared  tn  them  that  he 
was  disposed.  If  she  were  free,  to  believe  her  story 
and  fall  again  into  her  clutches. 

After  the  Preaident  had  summed  up  and  the  jnry 
were  going  to  retire,  notes  were  passed  to  the  Pro- 
curator and  to  the  counsel  for  the  prisoners,  telling 
them  that  the  cabman  was  found  who  drove  the 
widow  Gras  and  her  lover  from  the  opera,  and  who 
could  have  seen  her  keeplnc  the  gate  open  of  the 
alley  to  her  house  while  Gandry  was  es<'apine.  Natu- 
rally, this  Incident  cause<l  intense  excitement,  but  as 
the  trial  was  rJosed  hia  evidence  could  not  be  heard. 
Should  it  be  favorable  to  Graa,  it  will  perhaps  lead 
the  Court  of  Cassation  to  find  an  error  in  the  pro- 
ceedings when  the  appeal  comes  before  it, 
and  order  the  case  to  be  heard  a^in.  The 
jury  remained  half  an  hour  absent.  Ihey 
returned  on  all  the  nine  counts  a  verdict  cHf 
guilty,  denying  Gras  extenuating  circumstances,  and 
granting  them  to  Gaudry.  fihe  waa  condemned  to  10 
yean' iurd  labor,  and  will,  therefore,  go  to  ex{Hate 
her  crime  In  a  penal  colooy  >>eyond  the  seas. 
Galidry's  sentence  is  lU  years'  secluuon,  in  virtue  of 
which'he  will  be  sent  to  a  French  prison.  He  waa 
stripped  of  his  military  medal  before  quitting  the 
dock,  aud  sobbed  plteously  when  it  was  wreached  | 
from  his  buttonhole.  The  widow's  face  was  perfect-  i 
ly  unmoved,  fihe  is  a  plain,  dark  woman,  with 
Bnow>'  hair,  low  forehead,  ardent  black  ^ye»,  thin 
retroussd  nose,  with  wide  and  very  mobile  nostrils. 
Without  being  coarse,  her  phralognomy  is  very 
euergetic  There  Li  a  fascination  In  the  woman  > 
t^lioesa  explaining  the  empire  she  exercised  over 
rich  dupes.  _ 

A  TEST  BLOWy  DOWX. 
A  temperance  festival  was  held  at  Lake  3e- 
hago.  Me.-,  last  week,  in  a  tent,  and  closed  on  Sunday 
by  an  accident  which  the  Portland  Arffus  thus  de- 
sczibea  :  * '  The  exercises  ^  the  forenoon  were  of  the 
usual  nature,  and  those  of  the  afternoon  might  possi- 
bly have  been,  bad  not  Nature  herself  revolted  and 
overthrown  the  big  tent  and  deluged  the  thousands 
who  stampeded  from  under  the  ruins,  seeking  for 
shelter  which  many  were  unable  to  And.  The  exer- 
ciiies  were  opened  bv  a  prayer  from  Rev.  J.  C.  Penrv, 
of  Brideeton,  and  then  followed  a  sermon  from  R^v. 
O.  M.  Couslna,  which  had  barely  closed  and  the  choir 
struck  up  a  hymn,  when  a  sudden  gust  of  wind  tore 
the  tent  from  itv  fastenings.  By  almost  a  miracle 
there  was  onlv  one  person  seriously  injured,  Mr. 
Samuel  Saunaers,  of  Portland,  a  blacksmith,  whose 
head  WAS  severelv  cut  by  a  falling  tent  pole-  A  boy 
named  George  llles,  of  Gorham,  had  his  arm  some- 
what bruised.  Mrs.  Da\"ts,  of  Raymond,  and  Mrs, . 
lawyer  were  slightly  injured.  Hiram  Graffam,  of 
Steep  Falla,  had  hit  right  ear  badly  lacerated.  Any 
quantity  of  ladies  lost  tlieir  hats,  and  broken  para- 
sols were  ahnoat  as  plenty;,afi  sands  on  the  lake  shore. 
One  reason  why  so  few  comparatively  were  hurt  is 
explained  by  tho  fact  that  a  large  tree  oanght  and 
momentarilv  uphold  the  falling  tent,  and  thus  pre- 
vented the  large  tent  poles  coming  down  with  that 
force  which  otherwise  most  h.ive  been  the  case.  To 
make  matters  still  more  unpleasant,  just  as  the  tent 
fell  a  fierce  rain-storm  sprang  up,  and  all  save  those 
few  who  could  be  accouuaodated  in  the  restaurant 
building  got  thoroughly  drenched. " 

AX  VyCOMUONLT  SHARP  MAIKE   FOX. 

The  Somerset  (3Ie.)  Reporter  is  responsible 
for  the  following  story  :  "The  fox  which  Mr.  Pair- 
grieves  now  has  occupies  a  yard  hack  of  the  store,  to 
which  Mr.  Fairgriave's  dog  has  free  access.  The  dog 
and  fox  are  g^eat  friends.  They  &olic  together,  play 
'  no  end  '  of  jokes  on  each  other,  and  live  in  the 
most  perfect  harmony,  save  at  '  meal  time.'  The  dis- 
cussion that  a  choice  hit  will  call  forth  Lb  sometimes 
most  interesting.  Mr.  Fairgneves  gave  the  fox  a 
bone  the  other  day.  The  dug  had  been  taught  by 
experience  that  it  was  no  use  for  him  to  try  to  cap- 
ture it,  so  he  retired  into  the  store  to  watch  the  pro- 
ceedings, doubtlesfl  hoping  something  would  turn 
up  in  Ms  favor.  The  fox  ate  what  he  wanted  of  the 
bone  and  preferred  to  lay  it  away  fot  fefture  nsc.  The 
doftprdcked  tip  his  ears,  but  yawned  and  betrayed  no 
especial  Interest.  The  fox  dug  a  dee^  hole,  placed 
the  juicy  bone  in  the  bottom,  and.  covering  it  over 
with  earth,  '  patted'  it  down.  He  then  went  into 
his  kennel,  brought  out  an  old  dry  bone  that  he  had 
kept  away  from  the  d<^  for  sevenl  days  *  out  of  pm-e 
cuasedness, '  placed  it  In  the  hole  over  the  sweet  one, 
covered  it  up  with  apparent  care,  and  retired  to  hla 
kennel  to  watch  operations.  The  dog  saw  the  fox 
safely  boused,  and,  as  he  had  done  before,  stealthily 
approached  the  treasure,  resurrected  the  dry  bono, 
and  trotted  off/^ ^

AJT)    HIS    FBIEND  STERXHEIM — THE  POE- 
MER  ADMITTED  TO  BAIL. 

Leon  ue  M<ntalnvUle,  who,  it  is  alleged,  has 
been  selling  bo£  us  and  unauthorized  reports  of  the 
induatrifl^l  and  mechanical  resources  of  this  country 
to  various  merchants  in  this  City,  and  of  falsely  rep- 
resenting himse  Lf  as  an^kgent  of  tho  French  Govern- 
ment, with  his  friend.  Edouard  Stomheim,  appeared 
before  Justice  ^  mith  yesterday,  at  the  Tombs  Poli:.'6 
Court.  &temh<>im,  for  whom  no  warrant  of  arrest 
was  iuaed,  voluntarily  Hurrendered  himself.  The 
latter  aaid  that  feeling  that  his  friend's  honor  was 
at  stake,  he  de]  ivcred  himself  up,  remarking  to  the 
Justice  uiat  i'  De  Montainville,  his  partner,  was 
guilty  of  any  dme  he  was  equally  so.  Stemhelm's 
action  in  \  this,  matter  elicited  much  commendation 
both  from  hia  i  riends  and  tho  court.  NotwithBtand- 
ing  that  ptemh  ^im  does  not  speak  the  English  lan- 
guage fluently,  le  appears  to  be  a  well-educated  aud 
rehned  Frenchc  lan,  possessing  all  the  politeness  and 
wel  1-bred  Parisian.  Mr,  Charles  S.  Hig- 
Montaiuville's  accuser,  and  owing  to 
on  the  previouAt  day  the  case  waa 
poatpondd,  apj  eared  in  court,  having  just  ar- 
rived from  S.iratoga,  and  made  an  affidavit 
which  recites  tl  at  Do  Montainville  came  to  him  [Hie- 
^a]  and  represented  hiin*^elf  and  his  partner  as  offi- 
cial sfenxa  of  XX  u  French  (iovemment,  and  that  if  ho 
would  allow  them  they  would  make  au  analysis  of

his  cllenp,  waived  ozamination,  announrluir  that  De 
2f  ontalnWUe's  mother  was  in  a  dying  condition,  and 
asked  thajt  ou0  bondsman  be  accepted  for  the  two 

Srisonerp^  C  Bergron,  locksmith  and  machinist,  of 
'o.  27  |Vi^  Houston -street,  was  offered  .is  bonds- 
man, but  whek  the  bond  was  made  out  It  was 
learned  that  each  of  the  accused  should  have  a  sep- 
arate bohdsmau.  iStemheim,  taking  in  the  poi^ltion 
at  a  glance,  stepped  forward  for  committment,  that 
hia  friend  might  vlait!  the  bedside  of  kis  dj-ing 
mother.  | 

In  hrlnging  Ithe  case;  to  a  close  Justice  Smith  re- 
marked that  the  charge  was  a  verj-  grave  one.  and  that 
if  the  balljhe  fijked  was  smaller  thnn  usual  it  was  be- 
cause of  the  dofendants'  respectability  and  gentle- 
manly deportxpent.  He  also  said  that  If.  in  conse- 
quence of  the  bail  being  so  small,  they  should  take 
it  Into  their  heads  to  run  away,  the  community  at 
large  would  be  |woll  rid  of  them.  Mr.  Howe,  in  re- 
ply, ^d  that  Ins  clients  had  no  inteutinn  of  running 
away,  and  would  not  if  they  could.  The  prisoners 
claim  thatja  Mi[.  D.  S.  Phelpa,  agent  for  a  rival  firm, 
Ih  the  capso  of  all  their  trouble.  Dnring  the  proceed- 
ings yfst^rday  Messrs.  Coudert  Brothers  appeared 
a.i  coanijc]  for  the  French  Cousul.- 

Couns  ii  for  the  defendants  says  that  he  has  a  per- 
fect aus  v(r  to  tlis  complaint,  as  his  clients  have  not 
represei  ted  themselves  as  agents  for  the  French 
Government,  biit  only  as  the  editors  or  couipilers  of 
certain  itatiatical  repoits  :  that  they  have  not  coin- 
mitted  n|nv  crime,  and  that  the  price  obtained  for  the 
book  wduld  haijdly  uajr*  for  the  translation.  Stem- 
helm  ex  [>«<cts  to  get  bail  this  morning. 

WHICH  IS  THE  RIGHT  ZtAKJ 
Mr.  I..  It.  Stewart  lieft  $5,000  in  his  will  to 
William  Arm'strong,  whom  he  characterized  as 
having  I  ecu  a  faithful  employe,  and  shortly  after  his 
death  thelmoneywa-s  paid  to  William  Armstrong,  a 
cashier  m  his  estabUshmfnt.  Recently  another  Wil- 
liam Arnustrong,  who  had  formerly  been  In  the  firm's 
employ,  but  who  had  gone  to  Chict^o  prior  to  ilr. 
Stewartts  death!,  brought  suit  in  the  .Supreme  Court 
against  JMrs.  Stlewart  to  'compel  the  payment  of  the 
legacvtohim,  claiming  .thatheis  the  one  to  whom 
Mr.  Stewart  lnt[ended  to  leave  the  money.  This  is 
positively  .denied  by  Air..  -Rice,  Mrs.  iStewaxt's  attor- 
ney, who  pays  that  the  circumstances  connected  with 
the  enrploJ^nent  of  tlieltwomen  left  no  doubt  that 
the  right  man  jjjot  tho  legacy.  Counsel  for  the  plain- 
tiff moved  yesterday,  In  Supremo  Court,  CTiambers, 
before  Judge  V.vx  Brunti  to  have  the  case  advanced 
on  tho  Jc:alendBx  and  given  a  preference.  This  waa 
oppoaed,  bv  Mr.  Rice,  mainly  on  the  ground  that 
the  motion  waa  premature,  as  the  case  had  not  yet 
beenactltially  placed  on  the  calendar.  The  motion

COURT  NOTES, 


MB.  ^LITNT  AFTER'  THE  POLICE  BOARD. 

Mr.  Qeorge  |W.  Blunt,  of  the  Pilot  Commis- 
aiou,  yesterday  forwarded  to  the  District  Attorney's

thorized by  hia  associates  to  inquire  what  steps 
would  l|>e|taken  in  relation  to  the  wicked  violation  of 
law  by  the  P6l|ce  Coniniissioners  in  dumping  earb- 
a^e  in  the  harbor.  Mr.  Blunt  added  that  he  had  posi- 
tive evidence  of  the  offenses  having  been  cumuiitted 
by  the  ^mploye^  of  the  Police  Commlssionfirs  on  July 
31  and  Aug.  4,  and  enclosed  the  names  of  the  wit-

forwarded  it  to  District  Attorney  Phelps  at  Watch  IHll.

before  It  can  be  acted  on.  As  the  present

aliort  one,  and  is  intended  for  the  tUapoaition  of  the 
many  prison  cases  now  awaiting  dlKposition  In  the 
ToniD8,lit  is  scarcely  probable  that  the  members  of

Shore  Inspector  of  Kings  County,  and  the  Police 
Commissioners  and  Superintendent  of  Police  of 
Brookl\-n,  from  interfering  with  tho  Streot-clcsnlng 
Bureau  of  this  City  in  dompim;  garbage  in  the  T^ower 
Bay.  Yesterday  Jud^e  Donohue  denied  a  motion  to 
continue  this  injunction,  holding,  as  he  did  in  a  simi- 
lar, suit  last  year,  tliat  the  courts  here  should  not 
interfere  bv  me.sns  of  an  injunction  with  the  public 
officers  of  Brooklyn  in  performing  a  public  duty,  as 
there  is  ample  remedy  in  Kings  County  In  suits  at 
law  for  eny  interference  by  them  that  might  be 
shown  to  be  wrongfuL 

William  il.  Thompson,  of  No.  75  Broad- 
atreet,  commission  agent  of  Alfred  H.  Clinch  and 
John  G.  Tuney.  was  recently  arrested  at  the  fiuit  of 
thete  parlies  on  charge  of  not  accountine  for  ^5.000, 
aud  a  motion  was  made  yesterday  before  Judge  Van 
Brunt  to  vacate  the  order  of  arxpst,  Thompson 
swearing  that  the  $5,000  was  an  advance  made  to 
him  by  uls  brother  to  relieve  the  plaintiffs  during 
temporary'  embarossment,  and  that  he  simply  repaid 
it  to  his  brother,  and  that .  pliuntiffs  owe  mm 
$20,000,  which  he  had  begun  suit  for  previous  to 
this  action.  Plaintiffs'  reply  is.  that  by  the  account 
of  tho  defendant,  in  1876  he  was  $13,000  iu  their 
debt,  of  which  the  $5.0O0  in  question  was  a  part, 
and  that  defendant  had  no  authority  to  pay  it  to  his 
brother.    Decision  reserved. 

James  A.  Byrnes,  who  was  a  witness  in  the 
Stokes  case,  aud  was  pzominoutly  connected  with 
the  Barmore  will  case,  marrieil  the  daughter  of  Mrs. 
Maria  Molock,  widow  of  WiUlam  Mulock,  a  N'ew- 
Jersey  lawyer.  He  resided  with  hia  mother-in-law 
In  18r»9,  taking  charge  of  her  Urge  estate.  Mrs. 
Mnlock  claims  to  have  discovered  that  he  had  de- 
frauded her.  and  she  sued  him  on  a  note  for  $2,500 
drawn  by  him  .to  his  wife's  order  and  by  her  trans- 
ferred to  her  mother.  Byrnes  disputed  the  validity 
of  the  note,  aud  made  a  counter  claim  of  $14.0O0 
for  services  and  money  expended.  The  Referee  to 
whom  the  matter  was  referred  found  for  the  plaintiff, 
and  rejected  the  counter-claim,  giWng  judgment 
against  Rymes  for  $3,751.  A  motion  before  Judge 
Van  Brunt  yesterday  for  $350  extra  allowance  was 
granted. 

Peter  J.  Klein  and  Charles  Beichert  who  were 
arrested  for  being  implicate  in  a  large  number  of 
tliefts  from  the  mourning  store  of  William  Jackson, 
Nn.  777  Broadway,  where  Klein  was  employed  as  a 
salesman,  were  before  Judge  Sutherland  in  the  Court 
of  General  Sessiuna  yesterday.  Mr. '  Jackson  had 
long '  missed  articles  of  value  from  his  store, 
and  with  the  assistance  of  ^^ergt.  Kealy,  of  Police 
Head-quarters,  hually  succeeded  In  tracing  them  to 
Klein.  Tho  prisoners  were  Indioteti  on  tae  specific 
bhat^  of  larceny  of  two  pieces  of  dress  silk  valued 
nt  $/ O.  which  Klein  stole  and  sold  to  the  receiver.

Seventh -a  venue.  On  being  called  to  the  bar  by  As- 
sisiant  District  Attorney  Herring,  both  prisoners 
pleaded  guilty  to  petit  larceny.  aM  were  each  sen- 
tenced by  Judge  Sutherland  to  six  montha  In  tho 
Peniteniiarj-. 

MRS.  SMITH  DISCHARGED. 
Mrs.  Margaret  Smith,  the  woman  whom  on& 
of  the  morning  papers  has  been  trying  to  foist  into 
pubUc  notoriety  by  publishing  elaborate  reports  of 
her  Incarceration  in  the  Tomba  on  tmmped-np 
charges  of  larceny,  in  order  to  prevent  her  being  a 
witness  in  the  famous  l^e  dlvoroe  auit,  was  again 
before  Judge  Sutherland  yesterday  in  the  Court  of 
General  Sessions.  On  Monday  the  alccnsed  was  tried 
on  one  of  the  charges — that  of  stealing  and  pawning 
four  pidra  of  blankets  from  Mrs.  Jane  Willard,  from 
whom  she  rented  the  fomitmre  of  the  honse  ^o.  103 
Clinton  -place.  The  jury  were  ixoi.  certain  that  the 
blankets  in  question  had  not  been  transferred  to 
Mrs.  Smith  with  the  other  property,  and,  giving 
her  the  benefit  of  the  doubt,  acquitted  her.  The 
other  charge  on  which  she  was  arraigned  yesterday, 
was  that  oi  appropriating  to  her  own  u«e  bed  and  ta- 
ble linen  and  plated  ware,  valued  at  S50.  the  prop- 
erty of  Mrs.  Francis  M.  Crosby,  No-  374  West  Thir- 
ty-fiecond-street,  from  whom.  alao.  Mrs.  .Smi'f^  had 
hired  a  furnished  house,  "when  Assistant  I>istrict 
Attoimey  Herring  oaQed  the  case,  the  complahmnt 
did  not  respond,  and  after  a  consultation  between 
the  Court  and  the  District  Attomev,  it  was  decided 
to  release  the  prisoner.  Judge  Sutneriand.  address- 
ing her,  said  :  ' '  You  are  either  particularly  fortu- 
nate, or  partictilarly  ingeniona.  You  stand  charged 
with  grand  larceny,  but  it  Is  perfectly  clear  that  you 
could  not  be  convicted  unless  it  could  be  shown  that 
at  the  time  you  leased  this  house  you  intended  to 
steal  the  propertv.  I  therefore  disoharse  you  on 
your  own  Tecogtuzaneea.'*  Onheaidng  the  decision 
in  h«r  case  Uss.  Smith  bowed  blandly  to  the  ooorC 


and  was  soon  joined  hr  a  nnmber  of  male  and  fomtla

UNITED    STATES    SUPREME    COURT. 

T.TABTT.TTY    OF    THX    GOYER2WCNT   FOB  BX7S- 

PENDINQ  WOBK  COKTBACT£D  rOB. 

WASHmcTox,  Atig.  8.— The  following  de- 
cision has  been  rendered  ha  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  United  States : 

Ko.  79B-~The  United  States,  appeUatUs,  t$.  Jouoh 
£mtfA.-T-AppeaI  from  th«  ConA  of  Qaima.— Tha  only 
questiona  presented  in  this  case  relate  to  the  liahUitx 
of  the  TJzdted  States  for  damages  growing  oat  of  the 
suspension  of  the  work  nnder  tiie  eontraot  sued 
upon.  In  effect  the  contract  bound  Smith  to  furnish 
the  matetiida  and  erect  the  buildings,  the  labor  being 
perfonned  by  the  soldiers  at  the  fort,  ea^cept  to  the 
extex^  tSiat  skilled  workmen  were  neceaaary.  There 
was  no  time  specified  within  which  the  work  must  be 
done.  Neither  was  there  any  power  reserved  by  the 
United  States  to  direct  its  auspenslon-  Under  «ui^ 
circumstances  the  law  impliea  that  the  wozQe  should 
be  done  within  a  reasonable  time,  and  that  the 
Utfited  States  Would  not  unnecessarily  Interfere 
to  prevent  this.  In  Clark's  case  (6  WalL,  ^46)  it 
was  decided  that  the  Uxdted  States  were 
liable  for  damages  resulting  from  an  improper 
interference  with  the  work  of  a  contractor,  and  in 
Smoofs  case,  (15  "Wall.,  *?,>  that  the  principles 
which  govern  inquiries  as  to  the  conduct  of  indi- 
viduals In  respoct  to  their  contracts,  are  equally  ap- 
plicable where  the  United  States  are  a  party.  The 
same  rules  were  applied  In  the  case  of  the  Amoakeag 
Company.  (17  WalL,  592.)  Here  the  work  waa 
stopped  by  order  of  the  United  States.  Smith  asked 
to  be  released  from  his  contract  unless  he  coaiUl  go 
on.  This  was  refused  until  the  expiration  of  off" 
days,  when  he  was  allowed  to  resume.  As  between 
individuals,  certainly  tills  would  be  considered  an 
improper  interference,  and  damages  would  be  award- 
ed to  the  extent  of  the  los^  which  was  tjie  necciisary 
consequence  of  the  suspension.  The  United  States 
must  answer  according  to  the  same  rule.  In  this  re- 
spect we  cannot  consider  this  case  different  in  prin- 
ciple from  that  of  Clark,  (ti  Wall.  546.)  The  (Jourt 
of  Ol&lms  has  found  the  amount  of  damages  to  have 
been  f  5,000 ;  that  iato  say,  that  sum,  in  itsopinlon, 
from  the  evidence  before  it.  was  necessary  to  place 
Smith  iu  the  aame  condition  he  would  have  been  if 
hfe  had  been  allowed  to  proceed  without  interference, 
aud  not  allowing  for  loss  or  injury  to  his  materials, 
wMch  he  might  have  prevent^  by  the  ex;eroiae 
of  reasonable  care  and  prudence.  This  rule  of  dam- 
aces^  as  an  abstract  proposition,  is  clearly  right. 
Unless,  therefore,  there  appears  in  the  record  some 
error  erowing  out  of  the  estimation  of  the  amount, 
the  judgment  below  should  be  afBrmed.  By  our 
rules  In  reference  to  appeals  from  the  Court  of 
Claims  (Rule  1,  Sec.  2)  that  court  sends  here  its 
finding  of  facts  as  "  established  bv  the  evidence,  in 
the  nature  of  a  special  verdict.^'  The  evidence  la 
not  sent  up.  This  finding  is  conclusive  unless  im- 
peached for  some  5rror  in  law  appearing  on  the 
record.  Here,  in  effect,  the  error  comxdaiued  of  is 
tliat  the  court  refused  to  state  the  items  of  its 
account  lof  damages^  This  we  have  not  required, 
and  while  u^der  the  practice  we  have  estabUshed 
liberal  provision  should  be  made  for  review  of  ques- 
tions of  law,  it  seems  ta  us  that  In  this  ease  the 
claim  of  the  United  States  goes  beyond  anything  we 
ought  to  grant.  The  court  might  with  propriety 
have  been  asked  to  state  in  a  finding  whether  .any 
particular  item  of  claim  <if  damage  was  included  in 
Its  e&tiuiAte,  and  if  so.  vriiat  amount.  To  such  a 
finding  exception  might  in  proper  form  be  taken, 
aud  then  we  could  be  called  upon  to  decide 
whether  such  an  item  waa  lefftUy  the  sub- 
joct  of  compensatidn  In  an  action  for  damages. 
The  United  States  can  be  required  to  make  compensa- 
tion to  a  contractor  for  damages  which  he  has  actu- 
ally sustained  by  their  default  in  the  performance  of 
their  undertakings  to  bjm.  but  thiH  is  the  extent  of 
their  liability  in  the  Court  of  Claims.    More  tliaa 

gsmpeusation  for  damages  actually  sustained  can 
e^'e^  be  awarded  against  the  United  States.  In  this 
rjise  the  United  State.<t'  asked  the  court  to  find,  first, 
the  amount  of  damage  done  to  the  building  on  ac- 
count of  exposure  to-  the  Winter  storms  in  its  unfin-  ■ 
ished  condition ;  second,  the  amount  resulting  from 
the  retention  of  tJie  skilled  labor,  &c.  and,  third,  the 
deterioration  in  the  value  of  materials.  All  these 
were  Icjritimate  subjects  of  inquiry  by  the  court  in 
making  up  its  final  estimate,  but  we  know  of  no  rule 
of  law  or  practice  which  requires  a  court  or  jury  to 
itemiee  the  elements  of  the  calculation  by  which  it 
firrlves  at  its  final  result.  In  this  case  the  court  waa 
not  asked  to  say  whether  it  included  this  or  that  sup- 
pnserd  element  of  compensation  in  its  judgment,  but 
l^e  only  report  .<ieems  to  have  been  to  ascertain  the 
ittona  of  calculation  so  as  to  determine  -whether  the 
proof  supported  thera.  The  whole  contest  evidently 
was  as  to  the  sufficiency  of  the  evidence,  not  as  to 
the  liabihty  of  the  United  States  if  the 
facts  as  claimed  were  estabUshed  by  pr*wf- 
In  the  estimation  of  damages  the  Court  of  <?Uims 
occupies  the  position  of  a  jury  nnder  like  circum- 
stances. Damages  must  be  proved.  The  court  Is 
not  permitted  to  guess  anymore  than  a  jnrj-,  but 
like  a  jury:  it  must  make  its  estinxates  from  tho 
proofs  submitted.  The  result  of  the  best  judgment 
of  the  triers  is  all  that  the  parties  have  any  right  to 
expect.  As  the  record  presents  the  case,  we  see  no 
error  in  the  court  beh>w.  The  judgment  is,  there- 
fore afinncd.  The  Chief-Justice  delivered  the 
opinion.

The  chief  interest  attacliing  to  the  Maine 
nepnWican  Convention  which  meets  to-day 
arises  from  the  attitude  of  certain  prominent 
leaders  in  that  State  toward  the  So|uthern 
policy  of  the  Administration.  ttecent 
events  have  probably  done  something  to 
convince  tliese  gentlemen  that  this  question 
is  not  at  present  a  live  one  in  our  ]^  ilitics, 
and  that  problems  in  regard  to  wh  oh  the 
voice  of  Maine  will  not  count  for  much 
are  in  a.fair  way  to  engage  the  atteniou  of 
Congress  and  of  the  country  for^  some 
time  to  come.  We  trust,  however,  that 
the  ***wsrm  discussion  "  which  is  expected 
to  be  a  feature  of  the  convention 
wilL'  be  forthcoming.  It  would  do  n|)  harm 
to  have  all  the  arsfuments  for  and  against 
the  policy  of  surrender  ventilated  once  more, 
and  whether  considerations  of  expediency  or 
Off  time-honored  principles  are  to  govern  the 
drafting  of  the  resolntions,  it.would  be  well 
that  both  sides  should  frankly  and  fully 
''&ave  their  sav. 


The  Democrats  of  Pennsylvania  have 
called  their/  convention '  for  the  22d  of 
August.  It;is  stated  in  our  dispatches  that 
this  course"was  finally  adopted  against  the 
advice  of  the  more  conservative  leaders  bf 
the  part>%  who  were  afraid  of  the  influence 
of  the  labor  excitement  upon  the  average 
represejitative  of  the  Democracy.  Apart 
from '  all  partisan  considerations,  it 
is  Tsineerely  to  be  de.sired  that 
the  /  convention  shall  treat  the  la- 
l>or' question  frankly,  firmly,  and  wisely. 
Tbie  most  serious  occurrences  of  the  recent 
rior'cs  took  place  in  Pennsylvania,  and  no 
State  in  the  Union  has  a  larger  proportion 
o!.  the  classes  among  whom  the  disorderly 
araikers  were  recruited.  The  means  of  deal- 
ing with- difficulties  of  this  character  have 
always  been  exceedingly  defective  in  the 
State,  yas  the  growth  and  violence  of  the 
Molly  f  Maguires'  organization  sufficiently 
prove.  It  would  be  a  great  misfortune  if 
either"  of  the  political  parties  should  adopt  a 
demagogic  tone  on  this  important  subject.  For 
once,  we  hope  that  the  Democrats  of  Pennsyl- 
va'iria  will  follow  temperate  and  honest  eoun- 
Bebi  in  dealing  with  the  labor  question. 

•  ""ome  of  the  deUghts  of  the  life  of  soldiers 
iri  our  Regular  .Army  are  forcibly  illustrated 
Jn  the   dispatch  from  Chicago,  in  another 
'column,,  confirming    the    rumor  of   a  fight 
"With  Indians  in  Texas.     This  took  place  on 
what  is  known  as  the  Staked  Plains,  a  deso- 
late and  arid  region,  lying  between  the  old 
route  to  Saute  F6  on  the  north,  and  that  to 
El  Paso  del  Norte   on  the  south,  and  be- 
tween, the  mountains  on  the  west  and  the 
head- waters  of  the  tributaries  to  tEe  Red, 
Colafado,  and  Bi-azos  Rivers   on  the  east. 
Across  this  barren  desert   a  small   body   of 
troops   fought   its    way,    being    eighty-six 
hf)ur8  without  water,   and  losing  two  offi- 
cers, twenty-five  enlisted  men,  and   forty 
horses.     How  many  of  these  were  killed, 
and  how  many  died  from  thirst  and  exhaus- 
tion, is  not  known.    The  Staked  Plains  are 
bordered  by  the  country  of  the  Comanches, 
and  it  was  probably  by  this    tnbe  that  the 
troops  were  attacked.     The  detachment  has 
•reached  Fort  Ckmcho  on  the  south-eastern 
wlge-of  the  Plains,  and  Is  now   safe.      It  is 
men.  engaged  in  this  kind  of  work  whom  the 
Dem.ocrats  denounced  last  Winter  as  "  in-. 
Btmments  of  despotism,"  and  whose  dangers 
w^re  infinitely  increased  by  the  reckless  re- 
tnction  of'the  .Army. 

In  Loujsviile,  Kentucky,  the  other  day, 
ihe  Working  Men's  Party,  as  it  is  called, 
elected  nearly  all  of  its  candidates  for  the 
Legislature.  Whereupon,  the  Courier- 
Journal  falls  into  a  melancholy  mood,  and 
says  that  "  if  Louisville  is  not  a  Democratic 
city,  the  sooner  it  is  known  the  better."  The 
significant  fact  in  this  business  is  that  the 
Democracy  have  claimed,  in  Lonisville  and 
elsewhere,  to  be  the  special  friend  of  the 
working  man.  It  was  the  Courier-Jovmal, 
if  we  remember  aright,  which  commended 
S.  J.  j  VoDss  as  a  "  homy-handed  son  of 
toiiI,f  i»  man  who  seldom  wore  a  roae  in  his 
buttob-iwle.    Kow  the  LonisTiUa  vorkinff

men  have  deliberately  throvm  over  tbttir 
Democratic  patrons  and  have  elected  m^n 
of  their  own  choice.  With  adzbirable  phi- 
losophy the  party  organ  declares  that  "  the 
two  old  parties,  Democratic  andBepublicajn, 
will  continue  in  the  field."  As  long  as  itjis 
only  a  Democratic  majority  which  has  been 
overthrown,  the  organ,  though  mortified,  is 
confident  that  there  has  not  been  much  of  a 
shower.  If  the  working  men  had  ''  gone 
back  on "  the  other  party,  the  case  would 
wear  a  ver  y  different  aspect.    I    ■ 


.America  IS  in  France  are  just  how  looked 
upon  as  incendiary  persons.  The  other 
jJay,  one  c  f  the  functionaries  of  the  Mac- 
ilahon  Government  staid  away  from  a  diln- 
ner  giveni  to  Shea,  one  of  our  Marine 
Court  Judges.  Shea  is  a  small  man  to  re- 
ceive th«  compliment  of  a  political  dinner ; 
but  the  Sub-Prefect,  who  represents  antji- 
Republicaii  ideas,  made  him  conspicuous  by 
avoiding  thie  symposium.  .And  now,  some 
wandering  .American,  Bigqar  by  name, 
is  proclaimed  a  spy  because  ho 
has  called  MacMaiion  an  ass. 
BiggaR,  who  may  be  the  famous 
Home  Bultr  for  all  we  know,  is  a  very  poor 
sort  of  spy.  He  fills  himself ;  at  a  public 
dinner-table  and  then  loudly  declares  his 
belief  in  the  Marshal-President's  asinine 
qualities.  Biggar  may  be  an  .Amerioari,  an 
ass,  even,  hut  it  is  not  at  all  likely  that  he  is 
a  spy.  And  the  worst  thing  which  could 
happen  to  she  MacMahon  Government  would 
be  an  opportunity  for  the  Paris  wits  to  make 
sport  at  tbe  expense  of  ani  Administration 
which  seriously  takes  notice  of  Bioqar's 
allegation  l:hat  the  Marshal-President:  is  an 


Harmony  does  not  characterize  thfe  pre- 
liminary proceedings  of  *  the  Virginia 
Democracy.  Their  convention  to  npminat^ 
a  Gubem'ational  candidate  met  in  Rich- 
mond yesterday,  wrangled  I  through'  two 
sessions  and  adjourned,  last  night,  wiithout . 
accomplishing  anything  beyond  in  orgianiza- 
tion.  A  significant  incident  Of  the  opening 
of  the  sessjion  was  the  row  created  by  |an  at- 
tempt on  jthe  part  of  the  temporary  jChair- 
man  to  say  a  good  word[  for  the  anti-repudia- 
tion party.  The  speaker  was  interrupted 
and  catecliized  to  such  an  extentjthat  he  was 
finally  obliged  to  sit  down.  The  proceed- 
ings of  thei  day  were  simply  riptcus.     ■ 


The  Police  Commissioners :  are  having  a 
hard  time'  with  their  burden  of  tha  City 
garbage  and  refuse.  Judge  DciNOHrE  vest 
terday  refused  to  continue  an  injunction 
restraining  the  authorities  of  Kmgs  C  ounty 
from  intej^fering  with  the  dumping  in  the 
Lower  BaV.  The  Judge  decides  that  tlie 
courts  of  Kings  County  afford  ampU'  rem- 
edy in  all  such  cases.  On  the  bther  hand, 
that  ancient  mariner,  Mr.  George  W. 
Blunt,  in  tjehalf  of  the  Pilot  Commissioners, 
demands  that  District  Attorney  PtlELPS 
liisclose  what  steps,  if  any,  he  proposes  to 
take  to  punish  the  Police  Co limiissi oners 
for  their  wfcked  violation  of  law  Sn  dumping 
garbage  in  the  aforesaid  Lower  Bay.  Of 
course,  there  is  no  dumping-ground  this 
side  of  th(!  locality  before  mentioned.!  The 
open  sea,  far  beyond  souiidings,  is  all  that 
is  left  to  toe  Commissioners,  unless  they  c^n 
find  some  place  on  the   solid  land.    As  gar- 

T'  I 

bage-scows  are  not  sea-goiug  craft,  the  op- 
position or  I  the  Brooklyn  Shore  Inspector 
and  the  New- York  Pilo^  Commissioners 
promises  to  stop  altogether  the  dumpingj  of 
garbage,  and  "  What  will  they  do  with  itjf" 
becomes  an  interesting  question  when  tjie 
burden  of  the  Police  Commissioners  is  con- 
sidered.    ! 


RAILROADS 


FEDERAL 


ASD      THE 
POWER. 

The  bitterness  with  which  journals  sup- 
posed to  represent  railroad  potentates  re- 
sent the  idea  of  Federal  supervision  oyer 
railroad  concerns  contrasts  sunusingly  with 
the  appeals  of  the  potentates  in  question  to 
the  Federal  power  in  the  presence  of  recent 
difficulties.  The  paralysis  that  had  over- 
taken local  authority  .  in  Pennsylvania 
and  elsewhere  led  them  to  look,  instiiic- 
tively,  to  Washington  for  help.  Constitu- 
tional- technicalities  were  disregarded  |in 
the  anxiety  ^o  obtain  the  succor  which  only 
national  authority  could  render.  Subject 
to  prescribed  formalities,  the  invoeat^on 
of  Federal  assistance  was  generally  regarded 
as  the  natui'al  result  of  the  proportions  which 
the  railroad  system  has  assumed,  and  ias 
justified  by  exigencies  to  which,  in  sonie 
States  at  least,  local  power  was  evidently 
unequal.  It  was  felt  that  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  system  and  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
system  had  outgrown  the  regulating  capacity 
of  Pennsylvbrnia  and  Maryland,  respectively, 
and  that  their  inter-State  relations  consti- 
tuted a  title  to  more  than  local  considera- 
tion in  respect  of  measures  required  for 
the  re-estab(lishment  of  business  order  sind 
security.  Col.  Scott's  reiterated  calls  (for 
aid,-  addressed  direct  to  Washington,  are 
proof  that  in  his  judgment,  in  a  period  ,  of 
peril,  the  Government  may  be  properly 
asked  to  intervene  in  behalf  of  the 
ramified  interests  which  now  enter 
into  the  organization  of  a  great 
railroad.  Mr.  Garrett's  early;  action 
pouits  to  the  same  conclusion,  though  pfer- 
haps  in  a  less  decisive  way.  The  hypothejsis 
on  which  both  proceeded  is,  that  truuklines 
of  railroad,  composed  as  they  are  pf  Units, 
or  series  of  links,  constructed  and  worked 
in  pursuance  of  authority  derived  from  fhe 
legislatiires  of  various  States^  have 
acquired  national  characteristics,  and 
may  turn  to  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment for  deliverance  from  troubles 
with  which  local  functionaries  are  unable  to 
cope.  The  thory  is  just.  Its  operationi  is 
necessarily  affected  by  constitutional  limita- 
tions and  inethods,  but  with  this  under- 
standing the  presumption  Col.  Scott  acted 
ui>on  is  reasonable.  An  innovation,  it  may 
be,  but  it  is  an  innovation  which  has  its  jus- 
tification in  railroad  developtnent  and  the 
part  it  plays  in  the  business  and  social  life 
of  the  country. 

There  is,  however,  another  side  of  the 
question.  If  the  gigantic  organization  of 
capital  and  industry  now  embraced  in  the 
system,  so-called,  of  a  great  railroad  invests 
that  system  with  national  characteristics, 
and  in  an  emergency  entitles  it  to  national 
recognition,  the  inference  is  that  jthe  Na- 
tional Government  may  assert  a  right  to  su- 
pervise, and  in  certain  circumstances  to  regu- 
late, the  managenirent.  It  is  absurd'  to 
suppose  that  a  group  of  officials,  elegantly 
quartered  in  Philadelphia,  may  issue  orders 
affecting  the  traffic  of  half  a  dozen  contig- 
uous States,  the  welfare  of  fifty 
.  thousand    workmen     employed     on     the 


line,  and  th>  ypeaoe  of  the  commimi- 
ties  throtish  which  it  runs;  that 
they  may,  moreover,  rely  upon  Federal 
troops  for  the  protection  of  their  property 
and  the  enforcement  of  their  orders,  how- 
ever inequitable  and  irritating ;  and  that 
thdy  may,  nevertheless,  claim  immunity 
from  a  control  exerted  wholly  in  the  public 
interest.  The  rights  acquired  by  these  rail- 
roads, or  by  the  combinations  that  speak 
and  act  in  their  name,  entail  corre- 
sponding obligations.  They  have  overstepped 
the  boundaries  of  States,  and  have  at 
their  command  vast  and  varied  powers  de- 
rived from  sources  each  independent  of  tiie 
others.  Their  consolidated  strength  en- 
ables them  to  dictate  terms  to  the  trade 
and  commerce  of  States,  to  dispense  a 
patronage  more  corrupt  than  is  now  possi- 
ble in  connection  with  Governmental  ex- 
pehditmres,  and,  in  nmny  cases,  to  sway 
the  proceedings  of  local  legislatures. 
'Their  powers  are  as  anomalous  as 
they  are  arbitrary,  and  their  capricious  exer- 
cise often  renders  them  odious  to  the  popu- 
lation dependent  upon  the  roads  for  travel 
and  traffic.  Such  a  condition  of  things  can- 
not last.  Having  acquired  the  mastery  over 
States,  these  jrailroad  systems,  carrying 
enormous  weight,  financial  and  political, 
and  exercising  an  authority  not  likely  to  be 
ilways  patiently  submitted  to,  surely 
should  come  within  the  jurisdiction  of 
the  Federal  Government.  The  States  can- 
not be  relied  upon  to  regidate  them,  either 
by  prescribing  methods  of  management  or 
by  I  exacting  adequate  guarantees  against 
the  abuse  of  the  influence  they  wield. 
Either  the  Federal  Government  must  step 
in  and  assert  the  controlling  power  which 
is  required  for  the  protection  of  the  public 
interests,  or  the  railroad  managers  will 
i[emain  the  irresponsible  masters  of  the 
sitnation. 

i  It  cannot  be  pretended  that  the  interf  er- 
(inie  we  suggest  is  an  infraction  of  the 
rights  conferred  upon  the  companies  by 
local  legislation.  All  that  is  essential  in 
the  principle  is  now  conceded.  •  The  com- 
panies admit  that  they  are  in  certain  re- 
spects amenable  to  the  States,  and  the  deci- 
sions in  the  Gi-angcr  cases  so  widen  the  right 
of  States  as  to  practically  cover  a  large  part 
of  the  main  (juestion.  But  the  exercise  of 
thp  right  cannot  be  depended  upon  as  regards 
Either  wisdom  or  integrity.  We  have  seen 
in  Iowa  and  Wisconsin  how  arbitrarily  and 
iluwisely  local  authority  may  proceed  imder 
tlhe  stimulus  of  prejudice,  or  under  the 
smart  of  real  or  fancied  wrong.  .And  we 
have  for  years  seen  in  Pennsylvania  how 
the  managers  of  a  single  corporation,  greedy  ■ 
and  unscrupulous,  control  all  legislative 
or  departmental    action   within   the   State, 

I^hen  the  imlividual  or  corjiorate  interests 
re  concerned.  Kxperionce  in  Pennsylva- 
nia, on  one  hiknd,  and  in  Wisconsin,  on  the 
other,  is  conclusive  as  to  the  inadequacy  of 
State  authority  for  the  performance  of 
functions  connected  with  railroad  admi- 
nistration. It  is  only  necessary  to  revert  to 
our  experience  in  this  State  in  relation  to 
the  life  insurance  interest — an  interest  small 
in  comparison  with  that  of  railroads — to 
realize  the  folly  of  dependence  upon  a  local 
legislature  for  the  firm  and  judicious  ap- 
j>licatiou  of  radical  reforms.  lu  both  cases 
4— railroads  as  well  as  life  insurance — ^the 
Opposition  to  effective  legislation  proceeds 
from  those  whose  mismanagement  is  the 
primary  cause  of  the  diasatisfaction  that 
prevails.  For  their  own  purposes,  they 
choose  to  describe  as  inimical  to  a  great 
system  what  is  really  opposition  to  the 
abuses  of  which  the  system  is  made  a  pre- 
text. To  the  railroad  system  there  is  no 
hostility  anywhere.  Demagogues  may  con- 
found the  thing  itself  with  the  evils  that 
lave  grown  out  of  it,  but  the  great  majority 
c  f  the  American  people  are  too  intelligent 
tio  be  thus  misled.  They  are  dissatisfied 
•vtith  the  cheeks  locally  imposed  upon  rail- 
road management  because  these  checks  have 
lieen  proved  to  be  insufficient.  If  by  and 
try  they  turn  to  Washington  and  seek  from 
(!ongress  adequate  remedies  for  existing 
abuses,  and  adequate  guarantees  of  bettor 
roianagement  in  the  future,  the  bona  fide 
holders  of  railroad  property  will  Ijave  no 
just  reason  to  complain.  The  system  which 
nppresspH  and  over-taxes  the  country  also 
drains  their  legitimate  resources  and  exposes 
their  interests  to  perpetual  peril.  Federal 
intervention  may  spoil  the  games  of  divers 
managers  of  railroads  ;  to  the  railroad  inter- 
est, properly  considered,  and  to  the  public, 
it  means  unmixed  good. 


JZESUMPTIOy  AXV  REAI.  ESTATE. 

The  Chicago  lYibune,  ordinarily  a  rational 
oumal,  seems  to  be  occasionally  smitten 
'vith  spells  as  wild  as  the  dancing  mania 
ivhich  used  to  afflict  some  unfortunates  a 
century  or  two  ago.  In  one  of  these  it  re- 
cently declared  that  in  the  United  States  we 
may  see  "the  extraordinary  circumstance 
that,  as  measured  by  money,  real  estate  has 
fallen  far  more  than  all  other  descriptions 
of  property."  Further,  we  are  told  that 
^eal  estate  "  has  fallen  so  low,  and  so  con- 
tinues to  fall,  that  no  man  will  invest  a  dol- 
lar in  it ;"  that  "  mortgages  executed  at  40 
or  50  per  cent,  of  low  valuations  mai|S~since 
the  panic  are  not  now  even  worth  the 
money  loaned,"  and  that  "  men  who,  two 
years  ago,  bought  real  estate,  improved  city 
property,  and  paid  half  the  purchase  money, 
(fannot  now  sell  the  same  property  for  what 
is  due  on  it."  Thereupon  the  Tribune  pro- 
ceeds, with  all  the  recklessness  appropriato 
to  a  striker  with  blood  in  his  eyes,  to  pre- 
dict a  most  dismal  train  of  consequences  to 
follow  the  demand  for  and  withdrawal  of 
gold  which  the  attempt  to  execute  the  Re- 

tumptiou  act,  seveiiteen  months  hence,  is  to 
et  in  motion. 

There  is  a  saying  that  children  and  fools 
generalize  from  insufficient  data ;  we  would 
not  be  understood  as  quoting  this,  but  would 
"t  be  discourteous  if  we  should  say,  children 
nd  the  Chicago  Tribune  f  If  before  the  sen- 
tences above  quoted  the  word  "  some"  be  in- 
serted, the  breadth  of  the  assertions  will  be 
narrowed,  and  their  correctness  be  in- 
creased in  a  very  great  degree.  It  is  im- 
doubtedly  true — ^not  only  in  Chicago,  about 
hich  the  Tribune  may  be  better  authority 
han  anybody  at  the  East,  but  generally — 
;hat  some  real  estate  will  not  now  bring  the 
'ace  of  the  inortgages  on  it,  and  there  are 
stances  within  our  knowledge  in  which 
property  sold  before  1873  on  a  fair  propor- 
tion of  cash  and  mortgage,  has  now  been 
taken  back  by  the  mortgagees,  its  former 
owners,  in  satisfaction  of  the  lien  and  in  lien 
of  foreclosure  proceedings.  It  is  true  that 
^  great  deal  of  property  in  buildings,  erected 
before  1874,  could  be  replaced  for  60  to  80

and  dead,  unsalable  except  at  very  low 
figures.  But  what  then  T  Of  course,  what 
the  Tribiiite  says  is  mainly  a  question  of 
valuation  ;  but  assnming  that  the  valua- 
tiorg  made  since  1873  were  really  low, 
the  tiroad  assertion  that  improved  prop- 
erty'has  ishmnk  50  to  60  per  cent,  in  the

less.

It  is  dead  at  present,  because  it  is  yield-

cannot  earn  the  rent  they  formerly  paid,  and 
mu^t  pay,  then,  out  of  surplus  formerly 
made  or  out  of  capital,  if  at  all ;  owners 
are  |n  iturally  reluctant  to  accept  the  con- 
clusion tliat  the  i|.et  income  from  real  estate 
should  properly  be  a  little  less  rather  than  a 
little  mom  than  tjhat  from  the  most  eonser- 
vattvs  ami  permanent  securities  ;  and  while 
the!reasou  for  this  should  be  the  compara- 
tive freedom  from  risk  in  real  estate,  the 
collection  of  rents  has  become  so  far  a  mat- 
ter oftjuestion  that  this  comparative  securi- 
ty does  not  appear  at  present.  Take, 
the:  1,1  the  further  facts  that  while  personal 
property  uan  and  does  evade  most  of  the  tax 
burden  ■niich  the  law  attempts  to  lay  on  it, 
rea.  estt.te  eaniiot,  that  the  diffusive- 
ness of  taxes  is  not  generally  under- 
stood, ani  that  jcapital  shrinks  at  pres- 
sent  tron.  putting  itself  in  a  position  to 
be 'axed,  and  there  is  reason  enough  ap- 
parent forthe  deiidness  of  real  estate. 

I  ut  no  le  the  less  is  it  wildly  erroneous  to 
taka  rea.  estatel  "measured  by  money" — 
that  is,  b|- the  cash  it  will  bring  to-day,  forced

as  iQiiy  ntoain,  will  be  all  that  is  left.  ,When 
the  lyibine,  therefore,  generalizes  from 
some  disdouragiilg  instances  of  Chicago  ox- 
per  ience.  it  surely  does  not  pause  to  con-

only  say  that  it  would  hardly  be  worth  while 
for  the  n  brtgagees  to  foreclose  under  such 
circumsti.nces.  This  sort  of  talk  is  not 
worth  seious  discus.sion  on  its  own  merits, 
but  unf c '  rtunately  there  are  thousands  of 
voters  ii  Illinois,  Indiana,  and  Ohio  who 
may  be  influenced  by  it.  "The  value  of 
money  haS  been  so  increased,"  says  this 
teacher  of  error  for  the  occasion,  "  that  un- 
less there  be  a  change  in  the  downward  ten- 
dency of  property,  the  great  bulk  of  the  real 
estate  in  the  United  States  will  pass  into  the 
hands  of  the  few  money-lenders,  and  there 
will  be  a  landed  monopoly  here  as  great  as  in

and  to  bfeak  up  this  revolution  in  the  value 
of  moneyl  as  compared  vrith  other  property, 
it  must  reinove  the  cause  which  has  pro- 
duced this  extraordinary  condition  of  af- 
fairs."; No  publicist  possessing  intelligence 
enough  to  entitle  him  to  instruct  at  all 
should  use  so  barbarous  and  inaccurate 
an  expression  as  "  the  value,  of  money  as 
comparia  jwith  that  of  other  property ;" 
but  l^t  that  pass.  The  context  indicates 
that  the  repeal  of  the  Resumption  act,  d  la 
sundry  Eieinoeratic  platforms,  is  the  step 
which  Congress  should  take.  To  discuss 
this  proposition  is  certainly  superfluous  as 
regards,  any  reader  whom  The  Times  can 
expect  tol  reach.  As  for  these  prophecies  of 
woe,  the  bondition  of  affairs!  s  very  bad,  but 
it  is  hardly  practical  to  inquire  whether  it 
is  worse  'than  ever  before,  and  to  exagger- 
ate this  condition  or  bemoan  it  as  hopeless 
is  downriglit  folly. 


THE  PME-GLACIAL  JERSEYMAX: 
It  has  always  been  considered  lawful  to 
poke  fvm  at  the  State  of  New-Jersey,  but 
shebas  acquired,  by  ■virtue  of  some  recent 
archteological  discoveries  w^ithin  her  bor- 
ders, a  new  title  to  respect.  As  thsse  dis- 
coveries establish  for  her  a  higher  antiquity 
as  an  inhabited  territory  than  any  other 
portion  Of  the  Union  can  as  yet  claim,  per- 
haps people  in  general  will  speak  of  her 
hereafter  in  a  tone  ot  greater  deference.  Dr. 
Charles  G.  Abbott,  of  Trenton,  has  con- 
ferred this  distinction  upon  his  State,  hav- 
ing dug  upi  in  the  gravel-beds  of  the  Dela- 
ware Rivbr,  near  Trenton,  some  'stone  im- 
plements y?hieh,  by  their  shape  and  posi- 
tion, seem  to  be  the  relics  of  a  race  much 
ruder  than  the  red  Indians,  and  long  an- 
terior to  them  in  its  occupation  of  the  soil. 
Dr.  Abbo'TT  gives  an  account  of  his  dis- 
coveries in^the  tenth  annual  report,  just  is- 
sued, of  jthe  Peabody  Museum  of  American 
Archajology  and  Ethnology,  at  Cambridge, 
and  Mr.  Ppi}sam,  Curator  of  the  Museum, 
speaks  of  them  as  "probably  the  most  im- 
portant result  attained  in  American  Ar- 
chfieology  during  the  year." 

The  implenieuts  made  and  used  by  man 
in  the  period  called  the  Stone  Age,  before 
he  knew  I  the  I  use  of  metals,  are  commonly 
divided  I  into  two  classes,  the  paleo- 
lithic arid  the  neolithic  ;  to  the  former 
belong  the  rude  hatchets,  knives,  spear- 
heads, &(|. ,  \  made  of  flint  and  other 
hard  stonesi  by  chipping,  while  the 
latter  comprises  the  later  weapons  and 
tools  of  polished  stone,  often  beautiful  in 
form  andjartistic  in  workmanship.  Archaeol- 
ogists regard  paleolithic  implements  as  the 
oldest  hunian  relics  shaped  by  the  hands  of 
the  savage  primitive  man  at  an  immensely 
remote  epoch.  The  Delaware  Valley  relics 
are  pale<  lithic.  Having  discovered  in  the 
gravel-biids  ;  along  the  sides  of  the 
river  be  low !  Trenton  many  stone  imple- 
I)r.i  Abbott  set  himself  the 
determining  their  probable 
this  he  was  guided  by 
two  main  indications,  the  character  of  the 
relics  theioaelTes.  audthe  chaaacter  of  the 


ments, 
task     ol 
age. 


In 


geological  stratum  in  which  they  Were 
fbund.  With  a  single  exception,  the  articles 
are  made  of  argillite,  a  hard  olay-slate, with- 
out cleavage.  The  primitive  savage  who 
made  this  kind  of  an  implement  selected  a 
pebble  of  the.  propter  size,  and  by  a  series  of 
blows  with  another  and  larger,  pebble, 
flaked  off  piece  after  piece  until 
he  had  given  it  a  convex  form, 
with  a  ragged,  cutting  edge  on  two  sides. 
This  answered  for  a  hatchet,  a  knife,  or  for 
scraping  skins.  If  a  spear-point  'was  wanted, 
a  smaller  pebble  was  selected,  perhai>s  a 
fragment  of  a  large  one,  and  this  was 
chipped  away  to  a  point  at  one  end.  Dr. 
Abbott  describes  his  hatchets  in  his  article 
and  illustrations  are  given  of  a  few  typical 
specimens.  They  are  much  inferior  in 
workmanship  to  the  flint  hatchets  from  the 
gravel-beds  of  the  River  Sonmie,  in  France, 
a  large  collection  of  which  is  exhibited  in 
the  American.  Museum  of  Natural  History 
at  Central  Park,  and  the  primitive  man  of 
the  Somme  VaUey  was  the  contemporary  of 
the  hairy  mammoth,  the  woolly  rhinoceros, 
and  the  reindeer  of  Europe;  animals  long 
since  extinct.  The  form  of  the  hatchets 
from  the  banks  of  the  Delaware,  then, 
seems  to  refer  thepi  to  a  period  at  least  as 
remote  as  the  relics  of  the  man  of  the 
Somme,  whose  age  eminent  scientists  pu  at 
from  50,000  to  200,000  years. 

Next  as  to  their  position.  They  were 
found  in  the  undisturbed  gravel  of  the 
river-terraces,  at  depths  varying  from  five 
to  twenty  feet  from  the  surface,  and  in  all 
cases  there  was  ample  evidence  to  exclude 
the  supposition  that  the  relics  might  have 
settled  into  the  gravel-bed  from  the  sur- 
face, or  been  mixed  ■with  its  substance  by 
some  disturbing  force.  The  hatchets,  then, 
were  evidently  as  old  as  the  bed,  or  older. 
The  date  of  the  deposition  of  the  bed  would 
give  the  latest  assignable  date  of  their 
manufacture.  The  character  of  the  gravel 
and  of  the  contained  boulders  and  pebbles, 
and  the  position  of  the  beds,  point 
unmistakably  to  a  glacial  origin.  This 
view  of  its  formation  is  supported  by  Prof. 
N.  S.  Shaler,  who  supplements  Dr.  Ab- 
bott's article  with  the  results  of  his  inspec- 
tion of  the  gravel-beds.  It  is  the  theory  of 
these  gentlemen  that  the  gravel  containing 
these  relies  was  deposited  from  glacial  ice- 
rafts,  probably  upon  the  bottom  of  a  shal- 
low sea,  the  land  halving  been  subsequently 
elevated  to  its  present  height.  It  is  not 
likely  that  they  w^ere  brought  from  a  great 
distance,  and  many  circumstances  point 
to  the  supposition  that  the  savages  who 
made  and  u.sed  the  implements  were 
actual  dwellers  on  the  soil  where 
they  have  been  found,  being  driven  south- 
ward by  the  glacier,  and  returning  after  it 
had  retired.  It  should  be  said  that  these 
hatchets  and  scrapers  from  the  gravel-beds 
are  totally  distinct  from  the  neolithic  hatch- 
ets, flint  arrow-heads,  and  pipes  found  so 
abundantly  on  the  surface  of  the  ground  all 
over  the  country,  where  they  have  been  left 
by  the  Indian  tribes.  In  no  iustanee  was  a 
neolithic  implement  foimd  in-  the  drift 
gravels. 

The  implements  exhumed  by  Dr.  Abbott 
are  older  than  any  relics  of  man  previously 
diiicovered  in  North  America,  except,  per-, 
haps,  some  not  very  well  understood 
results  of  explorations  in  California. 
Their  existence  on  the  Atlantic  coast 
is  full  of  suggestion  to  minds  interested 
in  determining  who  were  the  first  inhab- 
itants of  this  continent  and  whence  they 
came.  We  may  well  be  surprised  that  they 
have  so  long  lain .  hidden,  but  this  very  fact 
shows  that  tho  failure  to  find  implements  of 
a  similar  age  in  other  parts  of  the  country 
is  no  longer  good  eviden<!e  of  their  absence, 
for  certainly  the  soil  of  New-Jersoy  has 
been  dug  over  and  bored  into  as  indus- 
triously as  that  of  any  other  State 
in  the  Union.  Should  none  be  found, 
however,  we  shall  be  compelled  to  attribute 
the  earliest  colonization  of  our  shores  to 
men  who  came  from  the  east,  across  the 
Atlantic ;  though  the  old  and  favorite  theorj' 
of  the  north-west  passage  may  still  serve 
for  the  red  Indians,  who  were  possibly  much 
later  visitors,  and  not  descendants  of  the 
pre-glacial  Jerseymen.  We  must  go  back, 
too,  thousands  of  years  before'  the  earliest 
Phasnieian  mariner.  But  it  is  not  credible 
that  a  race  incapable  of  making  more  ser- 
viceable tools  and  weapons  than  those  found 
at  Trenton  could  have  built  any  sailing 
craft  sea-worthy  enough  to  cross  the  broad 
-■Atlantic.  The  north-eastern  passage  from 
Scandinavia  to  Iceland,  thence  to  Greenland, 
and  so  to  the  mainland  of  North  America, 
then,  suggests  itself,  and  evidences  of  such 
a  migration  are  not  lacking.  ArehtBologists 
may  yet  find  it  worth  their  while  to  explore 
careftilly  the  Atlantic  coast  as'  far  north  as 
the  northern  extremity  of  Labrador. 


A  ROYAL  WEAKNESS. 

In  a  recent  letter  our  London  corre- 
spondent tells  us  that  no  cheers  greeted 
Queen  Victoria  on  her  way  through  Lon- 
don to  attend  the  Prince  of  Wales' 
garden  party,  given  in  her'  honor,  and  at- 
tributes this  coldness  to  the  prevalent 
idea  that  she  is  stingy.  Stinginess  is  a 
rare  failing  among  British  sovereigns.  We 
must  go  back  to  the  Tndors  to  find  the 
strongest  instance  of  it,  in  the  person  of 
Henry  VH.,  who  squeezed  his  subjects  out- 
rageously by  his  attorneys,  Empson  and 
DtJDLET,  who  were  both  decapitated 
to  appease  the  people  when  Henry's 
son  was  squandering  the  hoards  which 
they  had  accumulated  for  him.  The  only 
other  instance  is  found  in  Hesry's  grand- 
daughter Elizabeth,  who,  although  lavish 
in  the  adornment  of  her  person,  was,  on  the 
whole,  exceedingly  apd  most  unpleasantly 
economical.  It  was  her  Majesty's  habit  to 
spend  half  her  time  in  staying  with  her  sub- 
jects— you  can  scarcely  find  an  old  house  in 
England  where  she  was  not  a  guest — and  if 
the  host  was  obnoxious  to  her  she  extend- 
ed the  visit  to  weeks.  How  much  her  vis- 
itations were  appreciated  we  may  judge  by 
an  extract  from  the  diary  of  an  Oxfordshire 
Squire  :  "  The  Queen  is  gone,  thank  God, 
carrying  off  my  best  silver  cup."  As  to  the 
Stuarts,  James  L, Charles  t,  and  Chari.bs 
H.  were  always  out  at  elbows,  and,  al- 
though none  of  the  Geobqes  were,  with  the 
exception  of  the  fourth,  spendthrifts,  the 
charge  of  parsimoniousness  was  not  brought 
against  them,  or  against  William  IV. 

There  are  many  among  Queen  Victoria's 
best  friends  who  have  noticed  with  regret  a 
tendency  in  this  direction.  In  the  lifetime 
of  the  Prince  Coijsort  it  existed,  but  was 
less  apparent.  But  even  then  ladies  of  the 
court  would  whisper  their  regrets  that  her 
Majesty    should    give    such  sadly    mean 


presents,  espeoiaQy  to  other  royalties,  and 
complain  of  an  economy  -'so  ri^d  that 
they  were  not  even  allowed,  to  have 
chicken  at  luncheon.  The  old  Latin  proverb 
is  true  that  the  love  of  gold  grows  as  the 
gold  grows,  and  Queens  are  not  exempt  from 
the  weakness.  Queen  Victorl^  must  to- 
day be  almost  the  richest  woman  in  the 
■world.  What  is  called  her  "civil  list" 
amounts  to  £385,000  a  year.  Of  this  it 
was  arranged  at  the  beginning'  of  her 
reign  that,  with  the  exception  of 
£96,000  a  year,  all  was  to  be  divided  be- 
tween the  three  great  departments  of  her 
household.  Of  the  rest,  £60,000  a  year 
was  for  her  "  privy  purse,"  and  the  remain- 
ing £36,000  for  "  contingeneiesT'l  Besides 
this  the  Queen  has  over  £40,000  a  year  for 
her  own  private  expenditure  from  her 
Duchy  of  Lancaster,  the  revenue  of  which 
has  increased  £16,000  a  y4^  since  1865, 
and  keeps  on  increasing.  She  has,  more- 
over, still  another  very  considerable  source 
of  income,  Just  a  quarter  of  a  century 
ago  there  died  a  miserly  old  man, 
one  James  Neild,  who,  with  tho 
exception  of  a  few  ,  legacies,  left 
all  that  he  had  "  to  her  most  gracious 
Majesty,  Queen  Victorla,  begging  her  Majes- 
ty's most  gracious  accep^nce  of  the  same 
for  her  sole  use  and  benefit  and  that  of  her 
heirs."  This  bequest  ■was  np'vard  of 
£2,500,000.  So  that,  supposing  the 
Queen  had  spent  every  penny  of  her  official 
income,  and  that,  too,  derived  from  her 
Duchy  of  Lancaster,  but  saved  only  her 
income  from  Mr.  Neilds'  fort-one,  she  would 
still  have  had  "  a  pretty  penny"  to  bequeath. 
But,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  she  could 
easily  have  saved,  and  probably  has 
saved,  at  least  £100,000  a  year  be- 
sides since  the  Prince  Consort's  death. 
Her  stri<ft  seclusion,  of  course,  has 
had  the  effect  of  reducing  expenses  im- 
mensely. There  is  nothing  for  the  horses 
in  her  stables  to  do,  and  they  accordingly 
have  been  got  rid  of,  and  when  more  than 
the  few  kept  are  required,  horses  are 
"jobbed  "for  the  occasion;  a  circumstance 
which  explained  the  miserable  appearance, 
strongly  commented  on  at  the  tim^  of  the 
animals  attached  to  the  royal  carriages 
when  the  Princess  of  Wales  entered  Lon- 
don. In  other  departments  a  similar  cutting 
do'wn  of  expenses  has  doubtless  taken  place. 
But  all  this  would  have  been  condoned  by 
the  Londoners  had  a  liberal  expenditure 
been  shown  in  other  directions — ^but  it  has 
not  been  shown.  The  smallness  of  her 
Majesty's  donations  excited  ridicule,  more 
especially  when  compared  with  those  of  the 
late  Queen  Dowager,  who  had  £100,U00  a 
year.  Thus,  when  the  great  floods  did  such 
frightful  damage  last  Winter,  she  gave  biit 
$500,  and  lately,  sent  only  $250  to  Mr. 

GojfPTON",  the   eminent!  comedian,  who  has 

I  .*■ 

fallen  in  his  old  age  into  sickness  ana- pov- 
erty. It  is  announced  that  she  has  given  |  a 
pension  to  De  Foe's  great  gtandchildren, 
but  Ehe  grant  did  not  come  out  of  her 
pocket,  nor  did  the  £50  a  year  to  Mr.  Ed- 
wards, the  Scotch  naturalist.  These  sums, 
though  given  in  her  naiie,  are  provided  for 
by  an  annual  grant  froti  Parliament. 

The  Queen's  parsimoniousness  probably 
arises  from  the  san.e  cause  as  thjat 
of  most  other  people— familiarity  with 
money  difficulties  in  ea.rly  days;  It  is  true 
that  she  herself  had  n^ver  actuallj-  experi- 
enced them,  but  her  mother  had  felt  them 
bitterly ;  indeed,  it  has  been  said,  and,  we 
believe,  with  perfect  truth,  that  the  very 
money  which  enabled  her  to  return  to 
England  to  give  birth  to  the  Queen  was 
provided  by  humble  friends.  The  Duke  of 
Kent  died  in  a  cottage  at  Sidmouth,  in 
Devonshirer^a  place  wlieh  would  then  have 
rented  at  about  $-100  a  year — where  he  had 
gone  to  live  on  the  pittAnce  "which  remained 
to  him  after  paying  away  the  rest  of  his  in- 
come to  creditors,  and  pne  of  his  daughter  s 
very  first  acts  was  to  pay  her  fathe/s  debts. 
Early  impressions  are!  lasting.  What  she 
heard  from  her  mother  of  pecuniary  straits 
no  doubt  sank  indelibly  into  the  daughter's 
memor)",  and  hence  the  present  truth.  It  is 
a  pity  that  so  fine  a  character  should  be 
3narred  by  a  virtue  carried  into  a  fault,  but 
in  the  end  no  great  harm  will  be  done. 
When  a  sycophant,  wishing  to  curry  favor 
with  Bolinqbeoke,  alluded  to  Marlbor- 
ough's avarice.  Sir  John  rejoined,  "In- 
deed, Sir,  I  had  forgotten  that  the  Duke 
of  Marlborough  "was  so  great  a  man  that 
his  fame  eclipses  his  weaknesses."  So  it 
will  be  in  time  to  c6me  "with  Queen  Vic- 
toria. The  British  public  of  thirty  years 
hence  will  be  disposed !  to  praise  rather  than 
to  blame  a  penuriousness  which  renders  tihe 
royal  family  independemt  of  the  tax-payer.

DR.    ABRAM  aA.GER. 

Dr.  Sager,  of  the  University  of  Michigan, 
whose  death  on  the  6th  insll.  -was  announced  by  tele- 
graph, was  bom  at  Bethlehem,  Albany  County,  X. 
Y.,  Dec-  22.  1810.  His  father  was  a  farmer  of  re- 
mote German  ancestry,  who  had  settled  in  this  State 
at  an  early  day.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  eda* 
cated  at  the  Rensselaer  Polytechnic  Institute  at 
Troy,  where  he  graduated  in  1B31.  Here  he  was 
under  the  instruction  of  Profs.  Torrey  and  Eaton,  in 
botany  and  zoology,  and  acquired  a  taste  for  these 
studies,  Which  were  a  specialty  with  him  all  his 
life,  and  in  which  he  gained  a  considers- 
ble  reputation.  Subsequent  to  the  period  men. 
tioned  above,  he  pursued  his  studies  in  Albany  and 
New-Haven,  Conn.,  under  the  instruction  jind  super- 
vision  of  the  late  Profs,  Harsh  and  Ives,  of  New- 
Haven.  He  attended  lectures  at  the  .Albany  Med- 
ical School,  and  at  Castletou,  'Vt.,  aud  graduated  at 
the  latter  institution  in  April,  1S35.  Removing 
"West  he  settled  first  at  E(j5Jtroit,  from  thence  went 
for  a  few  years  to  Jackson,  »nd  finally  to  Ann  Arbor, 
where  he  remained  for  over  30  years-  In  1837  he 
was  appointed  chief  in  charge  of  the  Botanical  and 
Zoological  Departments  of  the  Michigan  Geological 
Survey,  which  was  organized  under  Prof.  Houghton- 
By  November  of  that  year  he  had  made  a 
considerable  collection  of  specimens  in  zool- 
ogy, which  laid  the  !  foandation  of  the 
present  zoological  collection  in  the  museum  of 
the  university.  He  made  valuable  cullections 
also  in  botany.  The  Sager  herbarium,  now  in  the 
University  Musenin  contains  1,'JOO  species  and 
1*2,000  specimens.  These  !were  collected  partly  in 
the  Western  Stales,  but  chieHy  in  New-England. 
There  U  also  a  valuable  collection  in  the  medical 
museum  prepared  by  Dr.  Sager.  illustrating  compara- 
tive ctaniolog\*,  neurolo^, '  and  embryology  "of  the 
vertebrate.  I'his  work  m  tonnection  with  the  geo- 
logical survey  closed  in  1840.  From  184-5  to  1S55 
Dr.  Sager  was  Professor  of  j  Botany  and  Zoology  in 
Michigan  University,  bnt>  did  little  in  this  con- 
nection, as  the  university  was  not  prepared 
to  receive  full  work.  In  1843  be  was  ap- 
pointed to  the  Chidr  of  the  Theory 
and  Practice  of  Medicine,  and  in  1850 
to  that  of  Obstetrics  and  Diseases  of  'Women  and 
Children  in  the  medical  department  of  the  university. 
For  several  years  he  was  Dean  of  the  Medical  Faculty, 
and  held  that  position  even  after  he  had  ceased  active 
duties  in  the  work  of  instmction.  His  falling  health 
caused  him  to  resi^  his  position,  and  he  spent  a 
Summer  afterward  in  PIond.%  returning  much  im- 
proved  in  health.  Dr.  Sager  was  .a  member  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of 
Science,  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Phila- 
delplLia,  and  the  Academy  of  Science  of  Chicago  ;  of

that  Howard  will  camp  near  the  summit  be-

rapidly  as  pos.sible.  Advices  from  the  Upper 
Bitter  Boot  say  the  Indians  will  camp  to-night 
In  Ros-s'  Hole.  Gren.  Gibbon  is  following  them

A  Bannock  Indian  shot  two  teamsters  at  this

ng was  an  individual  act.  and  is  con-

since  regarding  a  fight  between  Indians  and 
United  States  troops  in  Texas.  It  is  ascer- 
tained that  a  disastrous  encounter  was 
had  on  the  Staked  Plains,  in  which 
there  were  two  otScers  and  20 
enlisted  soldiers  killed.  The  remnant  of  the

possessions.  Mr.  Taylor  says  they  are  at 
present  near  Wood  Mountain,  and  that  he  esti- 
mates their  number  at  5,0(30  souls,  1,000  of 
whom  are  warriors.  Other  parties  who  have 
seen  them,  he  says,  estimate  the  total  number 
of  souls  at  y.OoO,  and  of  warriors  at  l,SO0. 
He  furthermore  sa3-s  the  Indians  make 
no  secret  of  their  intention  to  renew 
the  campaign  in  the  Yellowstone  Valley,  and 
seem  determined  to  get  ammunition,  even  re- 
sorting to  threats  to  obtain  it.  On  the  23d  of 
June,  near  Sitting  Bull's  encampment,  a  war 
party  of  2 1  Sioux  robbed  four  traders  of  three 
Kegs  of  powder  and  one  basr  of  bullets.  Be- 
sides Sitting  Bull's  band,  there  is  an  equal  num- 
ber of  Sioux  refugees  from  the  Minnesota  mas- 
sacre of  1862-3,  over  whoin  Sitting  Bull  seems 
to  exercise  much  influence.

EXAMIXaTION". 

SAiiATOGA.  N.  Y.,  A\ig,  8.— At  the  open- 
ing of  the  sej^si'^n  to-day  Ellis,  «aid  in  his  judg- 
ment the  closing  of  the  TiiJrJ-A venue  Savings 
Batik  at  the  time  he  cozL-^ulred  Mr.  Cisco,  John 
A.  Dix,  and  others,  after  the  failure  of  Duncan, 
Sherman^  Co.,  would  have  been  very  disastrous 
to  the  City  of  New-York. 

Cross-examined — The  mischief  ■would  have 
been  a  run  on  other  banks  and  moneyed  insti- 
tutions. It  was  about  Au^,  1, 1875,  when  he 
consulted  the  financiers ;  there  was  more  or 
less  run  in  the  Fall  of  1875,  closing  six  banks 
In'  which  there  were  de  iciencies,  and  putting 
them  into  the  hands  of  Receivers ;  the  de- 
positors cannot  get  their  money  back  ;  he 
had  some  faith  that  the  Trustees  would 
help  some  banks;  it  hurts  a  bank 
to  stop  payment,  and  depositors  would 
EUffer ;  when  they  resume  and  cannot  pay  at 
once  depositors  are  certain  to  suffer ;  the  Third- 
Avenue  Bank's  real  estate  realized  only  20  per 
cent,  on  its  cost ;  the  banking-house  was  sold 
for  30  per  cent,  on  its  cost :  it  was  afterward 
Bold  for  more  privately ;  foresaw  this  result, 
but  was  forced  to  put  it  in  the  hands  of  a  Re- 
ceiver ;  all  the  depositors  in  the  banks  named 
Btiffered ;  if  the  depositors  of  the  Bond-Street 
Bank  had  not  lost  confidence  and  the  bank  had 
kept  on  until  real  estate  became  better,  they 
would  not  have  lost  so  much ;  in  the  case  of  the 
German  and  Security  Banks  it  would  have 
betn  better  '  for  the  depositors  if  Re- 
ceivers had  not  been  appointed  ;  felt  bound  to 
take  into  consideration  the  interests  of  all  de- 
positors ;  he  mieht  find  a  bank  with  a  deficiency 
of  as.)ets  and  not  hand  it  over  to  the  jVttomey- 
General ;  again,  he  might  deem  it  advisable  to 
do  so  at  once :  he  was  influenced  by  the  advice 
of  flninciers and  formed  opinions  of  his  own; 
he  WhS  preparing  a  communication  to  the  At^ 
tomey-Ueneral  about  the  Third-Avenue  Bank 
when  the  committee  called  to  see  him ;  the 
recommendation  to  the  Attorney -General  was 
based  on  all  the  facts  in  his  possession  ;  when, 
in  1875,  the  report  of  the  Third-Avenue  Bank 
came  to  the  department,  be  had  a  conversation 
with  Deputy  Lamb ;  agreed  that  closing  that 
bank  would' close  a  number  of  smaller  banks  ; 
favored  the  law  of  1875,  which  allowed 
smaller  banks  to  consolidate  with  larger 
and  stronger  ones ;  some  financiers  hfe  consulted 
agreed  with  him.  and  others  did  not  Vhe  visited 
the  Trades'  Savings  Bank  several  times  in  re- 
gard to  its  report  of  November,  1875,  and  called 
the  attention  of  the  Secretarr  to  the  mortgages 
and  deficiencies,  and  told  him  ^he  deficiency 
must  be  made  up  :  the  Secretary  said  the  Trus- 
tees proposed  paying  in  the  money  ;  Raid  wrote 
that  the  money  had  not  been  paid,  and  the 
books  were  in  such  a  condition  that  he  could  not 
find  out  about  the  bank;  he  saw  no  reason  for 
closing  the  hank  until  he  gave  the  final  orders  ; 
he  went  to  the  People's  Savings  Bank  with  Reid 
In  the  Fall  of  1874,  and  Reid  examined  it,  but 
be  did  not  know  he  made  a  written  report  until  it 
was  produced  on  the  trial ;  from  conversation  with 
the  oflScers,  formed  an  idea  that  the  reports 
made  bv  the  bank  were  correct ;  was  aware  in 
1874  that  the  charter  of  the  Loaners'  Bank  re- 
qtiired  them  to  report  to  the  department ;  the 
President  claimed  that  his  bank  had  made  a  state- 
ment every  year ;  never  saw  any  reports ;  never 
sent  them "bianks  to  fill  up ;  when  he- went  into 
office  he  tried  to  inform  himself  about  all  the 
laws  relating  to  banks ;  also  examined  reports 
anu  consulted  clerks ;  found  105  savings  banks, 
with  deposits  of  $350,000,000 ;  the  expenses 
allowed  by  the  Legislature  for  his  department 
were  about  $170,000. 

Direct  examination  :  Mr.  Ellis  said  after  the 
report  about  the  bogus  checks  in  the  Abingdon- 
Square  Bank,  July  19,  1876,  he  left  the  papers 
on  the  table  with  Deputy  Lamb  and:  went  out  of 
town  on  a  vacation ;  can  not  remeibtjer  giving 
Lamb  any  directions  regarding  it. 
\  To  Senator  Gerard — Refused  to  receive  per- 
sonal security  from  the  Trustees  df  the  German 
Savings  Bank  of  Morrisania  because  he  did  not 
consider  It  expedient :  the  personal  securities  of 
tho  Third-Avenue  Bank  were  received  by  his 
predecessor  ;  the  law  of  1875  made  a  change 
regarding  such  securities  ;  did  not  analyze  the 
reports  of  banks  to  see  whether  items  of  accrued 
Interest  were  of  interest  running  for  the  cur- 
tent  year  or  dead  interest  oveiidue  :  had  not 
wound  up  anv  banks  before  September,  1875  ; 
had  no  experience. 

To  Senator  McCarthy— Never  made  a  general 
order  to  the  clerks  of  the  department  to  report 
all  questionable  items  in  statements  of  banks. 

To  Senator  Starbuok— Do  not  regard  banks 
which  report  a  deficiency  of  assets  as  safe  to 
continue  Duainess  and  receive  deposits  as  banks 
whfch  have  a  full  amount  of  assets ;  the  reports 
dated  Jan.  1,  1875.  come  in  from  Jan.  15  to 
Mzly  in  Febnury ;  tben  tbey  ■»  taken  by  the 


clerks  and  tabulated  for  the  reports  of  the  de- 
partment :  Itnew  the  condition  of  the  Third- 
Avenue  Bank  by  the  report  of  Reid. 

To  Senator  Bradley— Went  two  or  three  times 
to  New-York  after  the  Legislature  of  1875  ad- 
journed to  try  and  get  the  small  banks  to  merge 
and  turn  over  their  assets  to  a  larger  bank ; 
nothing  was  done,  however. 

To  Senator  St.  John — Pound  some  large 
banks  apparently  willing  to  take  the  assets  of 
smaller  banks  and  assume  their  responsibilities. 

To  Senator  Prince — If  a  large  bank  had  taken 
and  held  the  securities  until  better  times  they 
might  have  paid  the  depositors  of  the  small 
banks  in  fuU. 

To  Senator  Prince — The  delay  from  March  in 
acting  on  the  Third-Avenue  Bank  was  caused 
by  waiting  for  the  paasage  of  a  general  law  ; 
if  the  times  had  grown  better  in  1874  and  1 875 
many  banks  could  have  been  saved ;  many 
private  individuals  lost  by  real  estate  in  those 
years. 

To  Senator  St  John — In  the  report  of  Janua- 
ry, 1875,  the  real  estate  in  Tarry  town  was  in- 
creased to  the  value  of  $30,000. 

To  Senator  Kennaday — Although  he  never 
saw  the  papers  shown  by  Smith,  his .  clerk,  yet 
he  could  not  say  that  he  had  never  bad  a  con- 
versation with  Smith  about  the  Third-Avenue 
Bank ;  is  positive  that  he  never  saw  or  heard  of 
the  statements  until  Smith  produced  them  for 
the  trial. 

To  Mr.  Chapman,  his  own  counsel — From 
Reid's  letter  calling  for  a  report  of  the  Third- 
Avenue  Bank,  Jan.  1,  1875.  it  was  resolved  to 
close  up  that  bank  ;  it  was  only  imdecided  as  to 
the  best  time.  * 

To  Mr.  McGuire — Has  no  remembrance  of 
Smith's  coming  into  his  private  ofiice  and  ex- 
plaining the  statements  as  Smith  testified. 

To  Senator  Bixby — He  did  not  regard  the 
Third-Avenue  Savings  Bank  as  safe  for  depos- 
itors ;  it  did  not  create  much  excitement  when 
it  closed  in  July ;  the  public  had  got  tised  to 
failures. 

To  Mr.  McGuire — When  Senator  St.  John  was 
Superintendent  of  the  Bank  Department,  mort- 
gages of  broken  banks  sometimes  sold  for  20 
cents  on  the  dollar. 

To  Senator  Gerard — He  considered  Reid  an 
expert,  and  took  his  reports  as  con'ect. 

■To  Senator  Woodin — If  banks  used  depositors' 
money  illegally,  he  could  only  order  them  to 
discontinue,  or  hand  the  bank  ever  to  the  Attor- 
ney-General for  violation  of  its  charter. 

To  Mr.  McGuire — ^Abstracts  of  the  reports  of 
banks,  showing  their  assets,  are  made  out  for 
the  Legislature  every  year ;  when  any  question 
of  doubt  as  to  the  construction  of  the  law  arises 
it  always  goes  to  the  Attorney-General  for  ad- 
vice ;  tie  thought  if  the  law  reducing  the  inter- 
est to  be  paid  by  banks  from  6  to  5  per  cent, 
had  been  passed  earlier  some  of  these  banks 
could  have  gone  on.

Kingston,  JamEica.  Aug.  1. — The  weather 
in  the  vicinitj-  of  this  island  has  been  giving  no 
little  anxiety  to  mariner.-;,  and  old  West  India 
residents  are  apprehensive  of  hurricanes  and 
earthquakes  as  likely  to  follow  the  unusual  heat, 
which  fias  been  much  more  oppressive  this  year 
than  ffer  many  years  back.  The  Lieutenant- 
Governor,  Mr.  Rushworth,  lost  two  of  bis 
family — a  voung  man  just  from  Oxford,  and  hLs 
sister,  in  the  prime  of  life — after  a  few  hours' 
illness  brought  about  by  riding  through  the 
mountains  in  the  rain  and  remaii<!ng  in  their 
damp  clothing,  despite  the  remonstrances  of 
much  older  residents,  who  knew  the  danger  of 
such  foolhardineSH. 

A  commission  is  sitting,  by  appointment  of 
the  LieutenantrGovernor,  to  inquire  into  juve- 
nile vagrancy  on  this  island.  The  evidence  dis- 
closes that  the  rising  generation  is  growing  up 
without  education  or  training  of  any  kind  ;  that 
there  are  no  mechanics  or  handicraftsmeu  ;  and 
the  recommendations  of  those  examined  before 
the  Commissioners  leail  in  the  direction  of  com- 
pulsory education,  and  a  compulsory  apprentice- 
ship to  trade.*,  &c.  Some  horrible  disclosures 
have  been  made  as  to  the  treatment  of  boys  in 
the  Government  Reformatory.  Some  were  so 
ill  fed — only,  getting  broad  on  Sunday  and  one 
salt  herriuQto  eight  youths — that,  according  to 
the  testimony  of  Dr.  Campbell,  the  medical 
officer,  whenever  they  got  liberty  they  riLshed  to 
the  pigs*  troughs  and'  ravenously  ate  the  putrid 
offal  and  food  that  had  been  thrown 
there  for  swine.  The  Superintendent  was 
a  "Plymouth  Brother"  in  religious  belief. 
The  old  oflicers  of  the  institution  (appointed 
under  his  predeces.sor)  had  all  been  discharged, 
and-his  own  and  his  wife's  relations  appointed 
thereto,  one  being  brought  all  the  way  from 
New-Zealand  to   fill  the  ofSce   of  school -master. 

Sir  Anthony  and  Lady  Musgrave  (who  is  a 
daughter  of  Cyrus  W.  Field,  and  now  on  a  visit 
with  David  Dudley  Field,  of  New-York)  will 
leave  in  the  steamer  Atlas  on  the  1 7th  of 
August  for  Jamaica,  where  Sir  Anthony  has 
been  appointed  Governor. 

Another  revolution  has  occurred  in  HaytL 
The  insurgents  are  in  force  about  10  milts  from 
Port-au-Prince.  A  schooner  laden  with  arms 
and  ammunition  for  them  was  known  to  be  in 
the  vicinity,  and  a  Haytien  steamer  of  war  had 
been  sent  to  look  after  hor.  The  City  of  Port- 
au-Prince  is  declared  in  a  state  of  siege.  A 
large  portion  of  the  city  was  fired,  and  the  con- 
flagration continued  for  two  days,  and  had  not 
been  extinguished  when  the  mail  steamer  left. 
President  Canal  was  unpopular  with  the  native 
element  from  his  kno\^1l  relations  of  cordiality 
with  fore'srn  merchants  and  foreigners  in  gen- 
eral. He  ■»'  •nu'^iected  on  that  account.  He  is 
a    good  i<r,     but    however    strijng    'the 

foreign  element  may  be,  it  cannot  protect 
him  from  the  designs  of  those  who  seek  to  gain 
the  object  of  their  ambition  by  assassination. 
Gen.  Salomon,  a  black  man,  formerly  Miuister  to 
England  under  the  imperial  mle  of  Solouque. 
is  the  present  aspirant  to  oflice,  and  he  says 
when  he  gets  into  power  the  colored  man  and 
the  white  man  may  both  look  out,  as  the  black 
Republic  will  make  the  streets  of  Port-au- 
Prince  rivers  of  the  blood  of  both  of  them.  The 
southern  side  of  the  island  is  equally  disaffected, 
and  at  Jacmel  the  newspapers  are  openly  at 
variance  with  the  administration.  Numerous 
arrests  have  been  made  by  tho  Government, 
chiefly  among  persons  suspected  of  being 
secretly  engaged  in  revolutionary  plots. 

■Washington,  Aug.  8. — The  Department  of' 
State  has  received  from  the  United  States  3Iin- 
ister  to  Hayti  a  dispatch  relative  to  religious 
toleration  there,  which,  it  would  seem,  has  "been 
gradually,  becoming  more  and  more  deeply 
rooted  in  its  institutions  during  the  past  few 
years.  Although  by  the  declaration  of  inde- 
pendence in  1804  Romanism  was  made  the 
religion  of  the  State,  the  Constitution  of  1805 
incorporated  features  of  religious  toleration  and 
freedom  which  have  been  maintained  in  all  subse- 
quent revisions  and  changes  of  that  instrument, 
and  with  very  few  exceptions  the  Haytien 
Government  and  people  have  uniformly  abted 
in  good  faith  toward  the  different  Prote.ntant 
denominations.  Protestantism  in  Hayti,  which 
Jias  been  augmented  by  emigration  of  colored 
people  from  the  United  States,  maybe  said  to 
have  been  a  pood  deal  fostered  by  the  interest* 
which  the  clergy  of  our  own  country  have 
taken  in  it ;  but  what  more  especially  has 
tended  to  its  influence  and  growth  is  the  effort 
which  has  been  made  by  certain  clergymen  of 
the  United  States  settling  in  that  country  to 
raise  up  a  native  clergy.  Those  who  feel  an  in- 
terest in  the  spread  of  freedom  of  religious 
thought  and  feeling  will  be  glad  to  know  that 
the  door  stands  wide  open  in  Hayti  for  every 
kind  of  Christian  missionary  work.

strike  at  the  mines  in  that  vicinity.  Being  on 
Philad^phia  and  Reading  Railroad  property 
they  were  requested  to  leave,  and.  not  doing 
so,  the  Sheriflrs  posse  promptly  orderd  them 
to  disperse,  which  they  quickly  did,  running  in 
all  directions.  Richard  Morthy  and  Michael

work. 


CKAWAKNA   IRON  AND    COAL  COMPANT 
AND  THEIR  EMPLOTES. 
ScRANTON,  Penn.,  Aug.  7,  1877. 

To  the  E'^itor  of  the  K>^c-  York  Times  : 

My  ittention  has  been  called  to  the  letter 
of  your  **  Special  Correspondent"  from  this  city, 
published  in  your  paper  of  4th  inst.,  and  I  beg 
the  pri,vile;5e  of  contradicting  so  much  of  it  as 
refers  io  the  stores  of  the  Lackawanna  Iron  and 
Coal  (Tompany.  The  statements  are  untrue 
in  every  particular.  The  workmen  are  not 
compelled  to  make  their  purchases  at  these 
stores,  and  nover  have  been.  Their  custom  is 
solicited  like  that  of  others,  and  hoped  for  only 
when  they  are  sat^fled  with  current  prices,  and 
can  busy  as  cheap  as  elsewhere.  By  reasoni  of 
our  large  purchases  for  c:ish,  the  company  is 
able  to,  and  does,  offer  their  goods  as  low  as 
and  in  many  iustuncoi  lower  than  other 
dealers  in  the  city.  Our  ample  city 
trade  outsido  the  workmen  abundant- 
ly proves  the  truth  of  this  assertion, 
which  your  correspondent  or  any  one  el.se  can 
verify,  if  tht*y  will  take  thf  trouble.  Tlie  men 
are  paid  every  mouth,  and  no  necessity  arises 
for  rei^jrtiug  t{i  the  "  funeral  ilodge'*to  which 
your  fiorrespondeut  refers.  The  workman,  to

J  H.  A.  Kingsbury, 

Storekeeper  for  the  Lackawanna  Iron  and  Coal 
,  Company. 

yote, — The  statements  alluded  to  in  the  cor- 
respondence above  were  reported  as  they  were 
by  mill  men  and  miners  who  said  they 
employed  by  the  Lackawanna  Coal  and 
Company.  At  tho  time  they  ma<Ie  the 
they  explained  thai  they 
not  directly  compelled  to  pur- 
of  the.  company,  but  that  .the 
Supeijintendent  could  and  would  make  it  un- 
comfortable, if  not  impossible,  for  them  to  pur- 
chase elsewhere,  by  holding  back  cash  when 
paym<>hts  were  due  to  them.  Mr.  Scranton,  tho 
Superintendent,  gave  the  correspondent  of  The 
TiitEi^  to  understand  that  the  men  were  expected 
to  trade  with  the  store,  and  the  statement 
that  the  company  were  indebted  to  the  men  was 
supported  ■  by  the  books,  which  bore  tliat  evi- 
dencej  plainly  on  tlieir  face.  As  to  the  asser- 
tion that  KO"ils  are  sold  more  cheaply 
in  tile  store  than  elsewhere,  it  is  not 
sustaimed  by  the  people  of  Scranton,  who 
have  bien  constrained  to  use  the  articles 
in  (njpstion.  The  men  may  be  paid  ev«ry 
month,  but  they  are  uot  paid  in  full,  and  they 
say  lljat  they  patronize  the  store  in  order  to 
keep  their  situations  and  get  the  money  they 
have  already  earned,  or  such  equivalents  as  the 
store  jmay  furnish.  The  statement  concerning 
the  lemployinent  of .  undertakers  as  a 
part  I  of  the  store  plan  needs  no  con- 
firmation, as  it  is  admitted  by  the 
company  in  the  storekeepers  letter,  and  the 
compmint  was  published  as  a  part  of  the  miners' 
grievance,  and  not  as  a  direct  charge.  The 
numlier  of  reports  about  the  discounting  of 
workmen's  oniers  on  the  company  which  were 
heard!  by  The  Times*  correspondent  in  Scranton 
were  so  numerous  that  a  column  could  be  tilled 
with  them  ;  and  it  was  positively  asserted  by 
one  of  the  men  that  an  order  given  by 
one  Jof  the  workmen  upon  the  company 
for  $|40  was  paid  in  $38  cash,  and  that  when 
complaint  was  made  it  was  simply  said  in  the 
store,!  "That  is  our  practice."  Generally,  the 
store-!-the  Lackawanna  store — was  declared  by 
a  well-known  Catholic  clergyman  in  Scranton 
to  be  a  hindrance  rather  than  a  help  to  the  men. 
who  could  do  much  better  with  their  money  if 
they  could  spend  it  where  and  when  they  lilcied.

Hivfe 


ON    ALL     THE     RAILROADS 
AGREED*  TO    STRIKE  TO- 


BECATED. 

Columbus,  Ohio,  Aug.  8. — The  conven- 
tion of  iron  and  steel  workers  to-day  unanimous- 
ly adopted  resolutions  setting  forth  that  they 
firmlv  believe  the  demand  made  by  the  railroad 
employes  for  the  restoration  of  the  late  10  per 
cent.  Irednction  and  the  modification  of  the  ex- 
isting tyrannical  rules  and  orders  was  just  and 
proper,  having  full  faith  that  the  railroad 
companies,  by  proper  management,  are  fully  able 
and  of  right  should  accede  to  the  same ;  that 
while  they  approve  of  the  demand  as  just,  and 
belief  e  in  the  ability  of  the  companies  to  grant 
the  request,  they  emphatically  denounce  any 
and  every  act  tending  to  violation  of  law  and 
the  non-preservation  of  peace  and  order  of  the 
country,  knowing  full  well  that  every  violation 
of  the  law  and  cQsturbance  of  the  peace  tends 
only]  to  injure  the  cause  of  those  engaged 
ther^n ;  that  the  arbitrary  power  assumed  by 
corp<^rations — railroads  especially — and  exercised 
in  crushing  labor  to  the  earth,  demands  at  the 
hands  of  all  honest  citizens  serious  and  careful 
reflection,  to  the  end  that  a  way  ma^  be  opened 
to  strip  them  of  some  of  the  unlimited  powers 
they  Ipossess,  and  that  labor  may  thereby  be  bet- 
ter rewarded,  and  the  country  greatly  benefited ; 
th^t  in  every  disagreement  between  employer 
and  employe,  they  believe  in  the  policy  of  arbi- 
tration. Numerous  memorials  were  presented 
by  members  which  were  referred  to  an  appro- 
priate committee. 

ANOTHER  STRIKE  IN  CHICAGO, 
Special  DtMpatek  to  tti*  Nw-Tork  TUut. 

Chicago,  HL^  Aug.  S.^Ever  since  the  riot 
thec^  have  been  held  meetings  of  Bohemians, 
lumber  shovera^  and  communists  in  the  south- 
westj  division  of  the  city,  to  arrange  for  a  syste- 
matic strike  for  an  increase  of  pay  and  a  de- 
crease of  work.  A  very  complete-  organization 
of  Itunber  shovers  has  been  perfected.  Badges 
and  passwords  have  been  agreed  upon,  and  at  a 
meeuatf  held  last  Monday   it  was.  decided  to 


DAT— PROBABLE  CAUSES  OP  THE  RUMOR 
— ^KO  STRIKE  INTENDED  OB  THOUGHT  OP. 

Bumors  were  eurrent  in  some  quarters  of  the 
City  yesterday  thati  t)0-day  the  engineers  on  the  rail- 
roads all  over  the  i  cotmtry  would  atop  work.  The 
strike,  it  was  said,  'hiid  been  determined  npon  by  the 
Brotherhood  of  IiooomotiTe  Engineers  in  general 
meeting  last  May,  wh^en  the  10  per  cent,  reduction 
of  pay  was  made  by  the  railroad  companies.  It  was 
farther  said  that  tkei  recent  strike,  which  began  on 
the  Baltimore  and  {Ohio  Road  so  suddenly,  and 
spread  with  sQcti  alarming  rapidity,  was 
a  premature  :  nt^vement,  begun  by  the 
firemen ;  while  the  real  strike,  that  of 
eneineers,  firemen,  hrakemen,  and  tr^n  hands  gen- 
erally, all  over  the  country,  was  to  be  made  to- 
day. Inquiry  waJ  saade  by  The  Times  reporters 
concerning  these  ram'ors,  and  from  such  it  is  clear 
that  whatever  the  LocomotiTe  Brotherhood  may 
have  intended  should  ^e  done  when  they  met  last 
May,  the  events  of  the  past  few  weeks  have  entirely 
frustrated  any  plans  for  a  general  strike  in  August, 
supposing  such  were  made.  It  does  not  seem  abso- 
lutely certain  that  they  were,  though  it  U  certain 
the  idea  of  a  general  jstrlke  was  entertained,  and  en-* 
gineers  not  members  of  the  Brotherhood  were  ap- 
proached on  the  subject.  There  appears  to  hare  been 
an  uneasy  feeling  among  all  the  men  up  to  the  time 
when  the  firemen's  strike  was  made ;  since  then  the 
engineers  have  been  quiet,  and  It  was  possibly  the 
recollection  of  whatj  had  been  intended  In  August 
which  started  the  :  'umors  yesterdar- 

In  pnrtQit  of  inf  )rmation  upon  the  subject  a  Times 
reporter  called  up  on  an  engineer  engaged  on  one  of 
the  New- Jersey  T^aas.j  formerly  a -member  of  the 
Brotherhood,  and  ihongh  not  now  in  the  orpsnita- 
tion,  qnlte  famiUur:  with  its  movements.  To  the 
question  whether  he  'had  heard  of  any  strike  In- 
tended, he  said  he  had  not,  that  the  storv  was  news 
to  him,  and  he  did  not  believe  it.  it  any  such 
movement  had  b^ii  prepared  for  he  woald  be  cer- 
tain to  know  it,  fti ,  in  common  with  all  the  euirineers 
not  members  of  the  Brotherhood,  he  would  have 
been  approached  1 3  know  how  he  would  stand  in  the 
matter.  There  was,;  in  fact,  no  talk  of  strike  any- 
where now ;  they  had  seen  what  it  amoimted  to, 
and  had  enough  ol  the  btisiness.  The  boys  were  not 
in  a  strikinc  humt  r  these  times.  They  could  not  be 
held  topether  if  a»y  one  did  w;int  to  strike.  He 
could  name  -O  men  iin  the  roundlumse  (Jersey  City) 
who  could  uot  be  made  to  strike  anyhow.  It  is  sirfe 
to  say  tliat  there  ifSB  no  such  tWne  intended  :Hliere 
was  no  talk  thnt  way  that  he  haa  heard  anywhere  ; 
.and  for  all  he  ki  ew  the  men  were  quiet  and  ron-. 
tented.  Besides,  K-hat  would  be  the  pood  of  strikine.*! 
when  the  roads  n&y,  "  Very  well,  we'll  dose  up  until 
yon  want  to  come  in  again."  The  Lehigh  Valley  did 
that — Inst  shut  uv  tho  whole  road,  and  waited.  The 
reporter  mention*  d  that  the  brotherhood  held  a  meet- 
lug  on  Friday  U  sIl  in  Jersey  City.  The  engineer 
said  they  elected  a  ^new  chief  for  the  dlvieion  ;  that 
was  air  he  bad  beard  about  what  was  done. 

Another  report-  r  Irisited  the  engineers  of  the  New- 
Jersey  Central,  at  I'olnmunipaw.  who  when  questioned 
in  re;;ard  to  the  re  moreil  general  strike,  seemed  rather 
amused  at  the  Inquiry,  and  laujifhlngly  asked, 
"  What  would  we  Btrikefor  J''  They  had  heard  nothins: 
of  a  strike  being  !ontemplntfd.  Rud  exiiresMed  iv  de 
elded  doubt  that  there  was  any  IikeIih"od  of  one 
taking  place.  Tli  ■•  officials  in  chan;e  ut  the  dvpot 
were  equally  poai  ivie  in  their  assertions  thnt  a  strike

ViKriiAim,  N.  J".,  Wedne*aay,  Aug.  8,  1877. 
"Yineland  is  a  first-rate  place  to  see  the 
Btm,"  said  a  visitor  to  this  place  some  years 
ago.  in  dwelling  npon  its  advantages,  and  surely 
the  crowds  of  holiday-makers  here  to-day  most 
have  agreed  with  him.  From  mom  to  eve  Its 
broad  disk  was  visible  in  all  Its  glory,  and 
it  blazed  down  upon  this  level  stretch  of  garden 
country  with  merciless  fervor.  It  »hone  upon  a  gay 
and  enjoyable  scene,  nevertheless.  The  day  was  the 
sixteenth  anniversary  of  the  foundation  of  the  settle- 
ment, and  with  almost  one  accord  the  shop-keepers 
shut  up  their  places  of  business,  hung  out  their 
flags,  and  joined  in  the  celebration  of  the  event 
which  was  so  full  of  importfmce  to  some 
1 0, 000  people.  Landis-avenue, .  the  principal 
street,  was  unusually  full  of  wagons  and  carriages, ' 
flags  were  btmg  out  from  many  shops  and  houses, 
the  one  daily  paper  suspended  publication,  and  from 
10  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  nearly  midnight  all

The  growth  of  this  sandy  town  has  been  something 
marvelous.  The  tract  on  which  it  is  btiilt,  comprising 
about  32,000  acres,  was  bought  by  Mr.  Charles  K. 
Landis,  and  in  1801  he  began  to  carry  out  his 
plan  of  making  a  colony  which  should  be 
an  improvement  upon  other  towns  in  Kew- 
Jersey,  or,  in  fact,  in  any  other  State  In  the 
TTniOn.  He  stipulated  in  the  beginning  that 
all  property  purchased  should  be  improved ;  that 
no  land  should  be  sold  to  speculators  ;  that  houses 
should  be  built  so  that  space  would  be  left  before 
each,  that  the  whole  might  and  should  be  beautified 
with  snade  trees  and  shrubbery  ;  fences  were  to  be 
done  away  with  and  hedges  substituted ; 
the  liquor  question  was  always  to  be  controlled 
by  the  vote  of  the  people ;  refuse  waa 
to  be  utilized,  and  the  digging  of  cesspools  below 
the  level  of  wells  prohibited  ;  froH-cultnre  was  to  be 
encouraged,  and  every  facility  o^ered  to  the  ctil- 
tivation  of  arts,  science,  and  manufacttires.  This,  in 
its  particulars,  was  a  comprehensive  plan,  and  It 
has  so  far  been  carried  out  that  Vineland 
lias  been  converted  from  a  desert  waste  to 
a  blooming  and  profitable  garden.  It  has  broad 
streets  and  plenty  of  them,  the  roads  built  pt  hard 
porous  gravel,  that  drains  away  the  water  qtiickly 
and  yet  does  not  create  so  much  dust  as  an  ordinary 
earth  road.  In  some  places  the  streets 
are  fully  100  f  et  from  lot  to  lot, 
and  all  have  margins  of  thrifty  shade  trees, 
some  of  wluch  are  arranged  in  double  rows  along  the 
inner  and  outer  edges  of  the  sidewalks.  A  tree  can 
not  easily  be  grown  in  a  day,  but  good  cultivation 
in  a  few  years  will  bring  maples  to  a  size  that  makes 
them  very  serviceable  in  shading  roads.  Thousands 
of  maples,  tulips,  and  catalpas  are  now 
growing  along  the  streets  of  Vineland, 
and  already  In  many  nlaces  they  form  a  delightful 
shelter  from  the  sun.  In  a  few  years  they  will  be 
one  of  the  most  attractive  features  of  the  phtce.  Tiie 
success  which  has  attended  the  attempt  to  prevent 
the  sale  of  liquors — and  the  term  here  in- 
cludes ale  and  beer — has  been  olmotit  phe- 
nomenal. There  is  not  a  bar  in  the  town,  and  the 
man  who  thirsts  for  whisky,  unless  he  keeps  hi.'^  own 
bottle,  must  get  it  on  a  physician's  prescription  and 

give  a  receipt  for  the  article  when  it'  i.s 
provided  by  tlie  druggist.  Verv  naturally, 
there  is  no  ponr-house  and  no  toUce  force. 
the  ex^iense  for  tills  5er\'ico  h»%'ing  been  but  $l(iO 
for  a  whole  year.  Tiiia.  for  a  towu  of  l.SOt)  dwell- 
ings and  nearly  11,000  population,  is  certainly  legiti- 
mate matter  for  hoa.'iting.  The  tract  of  hmd  on 
which  the  town  is  built  is  crossed  in  different  dirt-c- 
lions  by  49  thnrougli fares,  having  an  agijrt-^ate 
Itngth  of  178  miles.  'On  the  tract  are  17  miles  of 
raifi-oad  and  6  raUroad  stations.  Tlie  nomher  of 
farms,  orchards,  and  vineyards  under  cultiva- 
tion iti  estimated  at  2.2i30.  There  are  In  the  seitk- 
nient  iiO  public  s<.*hooU,  3  private  and  1  high 
ech(»ol,  7  shoe  manufactories,  2  button  factories.  1 
machine  shop,  1  glove  factory,  1  wallet  fai^torj'.  3 
sash  and  blind  fiictories.  and  several  manufactorioH 
of  <;lothlng  and  straw  goods.  There  are  15  ort'anlzed 
churches.  3  weekly  papers,  1  dally  and  2  monthly 
papers.  (»  post  oiUces.  1  bank  and  3  hotels  ;  also  dif- 
lertnt  beneficial  societies,  and  strong  lodges  of 
Masons  and  Odd-feJlowK.  There  has  l>een  an  in- 
crease of  300  new  houses  in  the  city  plot  the  past 
five  years,  and  many  of  them  the  tineiit  impnne- 
mentH  in  the  place,  including  the  High  School,  the 
Baker  Honse,  and  the  Gas  Works. 

It  was  TO  show  off  the  results  of  H>  years'  work  on 
Mr.  Landis'  plan  that  the  celebration  waK  hold  to- 
day. A  number  of  guest.s  had  been  invited  to  par- 
ticipate,- and  at  10  o'cjock  tho  visitors  were 
received  at  tho  depot  on  their  arrival 
by  a  committee  of  the  leading  citi*en.s. 
Among  the  visitors  were  Col.  Forney,  of  the  Phil.v 
delnhia  /Vpjix,  and  Col.  Pitzcerald.  of  the  JMilladel- 
phia  Itrm,  i)oth  of  whom  were  to  speak  In  the  after- 
noon. Ver>'  opportunely  tlie  mcmlwrs  of  Company 
K,  of  the  Sixth  Ilegiuient,  juat  relca*;©d  from  Rer%-ice 
against  what  Vinelanders  call  the  *'  Com- 
mune," arrived  by  the  10  o'clock  train, 
and  under  Capt.  George  A.  Cheever,  the  50  men 
marched  up  I^ndis-avenue  to  the  sound  of  fife  and 
drum,  showing  unmistakable  signs,  in  shaggy  beards 
and  dusty  clothing,  that  they  had  been  roughing  it  In 
real  seiTice.  The  visitingparty  weredriven  to  a  number 
of  iuteresrting  places.  Tlie  Droad,  grass-grown  road 
edges,  the  thriity  shade  trees,  the  great  vuriety  and 
luxuriance  of  the  hedge  rows,  and  the  tastefulncMs 
exhibited  in  the  adornment  of  grounds,  elicited  re- 
peated exclamations  of  pleasure  from  all.  In 
many  of  the  borders  fruit  trees  were  seen 
loaded  with  ripening  {anple.s.  The  blackberry 
crop  had  been  gathered,  and  was  larger  and  more 
profitable  than  ever  before.  TJie  grape  crop  prpmisep 
to  be  verj'  abundant,  and  if  it  does  not  prove  to  be 
profitable  in  the  market  in  one  shape, 
Vineland  is  seriously  thirikiiig  of  malctug 
it  pay  In  another,  of  which  more  nnou. 
At  the  house  of  Prof.  Wilson,  well-known  as 
the  compiler  of  a  series  of  school  reading 
books,  a  large  and  well  confitructed  hot-house  was 
inspected.  It  was  filled  with  s<tme  of  the  fijios't 
grapea  ever  grown  under  glass.  They  are  principally 
tlamburgs  and  MuMcats.  Heeinning  early  in  the 
season  with  lettuce.  Ij^SOO  worth  was  grown  in  these 
houses,  enough  to  jiay  the  running  expensea  of  tlie 
houses  for  the  balance  of  the  year.  Then  attention 
was  directed  to  grapes,  with  such  success  as  to 
tempt  one  to  go  forthwith  into  the  busi- 
ness of  raising  grapes  under  glass.  Many 
of  the  cluster*  hanging  on  the  vinea 
yesterday  wore  four  pounds*  in  weight,  and  the  aver- 
age will  be  about  two  pounds  per  cluster.  Already 
700  pounds  have  l>ecn  sold,  at  from  50  to  60  cents, 
and  the  total  rield  will  not  befRrfrom2.000poimd8. 
The  sam'o  cultivator  sent  laree  quantities  of  eariv 
Spring  strawlierriest<^hoKew-Yorkmaj:ket,f  or  which 
ho  received  7  cents  a  quart.  Prom  Prof.  Wilson's 
place  the  party  passed  to  that  of  Mr.  S.  R.  Fowler, 
formerly  a  New- York  merchant,  and  then  were  driven 
to  the  cellar  of  the  Vineland  "Wine  Com- 
pany, on  the  opj>o.site  side  of  the  town. 
Here  they  were  shown  through  the  vaults 
built  early  last  Summer,  in  which  are  stocked  about 
1,600  gaUons  of  new  wine  made  by  Mr.  Alexander 
W.  Pearson,  the  President  of  the 'company.  The 
wine  is  stiUI  crude,  and  oromises  to  be  an  excellent 
claret.  Strange  to  say,  the  Mnelanders  look  nix>n  the 
manufacture  of  wine  from  their  grapes,  (with 
the  prospect  of  realizing  6  cents  a 
pound,  when  they  could  not  otherwise 
get  more  than  3  cents)  with  entire  freedom  from 
fear  of  the  charge  of  inconsistency.  Still  more 
amusingly,  they  declare  that  they  will  see  to  it  that  uo 
burs  are  allowed  for  its  sale  in  the  town.  RetuniiAg 
to  the  town  the  party  were  received  at  the  Baker 
House  by  the  proprietor,  Mr.  I>.  P. 
Peters.  formerly  of  New- York,  and  were 
entertained  at  an "  eicellout  dinner.  At 
2  o'clock  Cosmox>oUtan  'Hall,  on  Plum-street,  was 
crowded  to  snCfncation  .with  an  audience  composed 
of  about  equal  ntmibers  of  ladies  and  gentlemen. 
Prof.  Wilson  presided  over  the  body,  and  upon  the 
platform  witli  him  were  Col.  Forney,  Col.  Fitzgerald, 
Mr,  Charles  K.  Landis,  Capt.  C.  C.  Flint.  Hon.  W. 
A.  Hotise,  Mr.  Joseph  Mason,  Mr.  S.  B,  Fowler, 
Dr.  Brewer,  and  others^  After  muxic  by  the  Vine- 
land  :^nd  and  an  Invocation  by  Kev,  Thomas  W. 
Conway,  of  the  Baptist  church.  Prof.  Wilson'  Intro- 
duced CoL  Forney,  who  delivered  an  interesting  ad- 
dress. After  alluding  to  the  difficulties  wliieh  had 
been  overcome  by  Mr.  Landis  in  working  out  his 
plan  for  establishing  a  model  town,  (and  compli- 
menting him  for  his  energy  and  determination, 
he  referred  to  the  disturbances  which  have  taken 
place  between  capital  and'  labor.  He  deemed  the 
settlement  of  the  dispute  less  dlfflcult  than  the 
establishment  of  an  English-speaking  Republic,  or 
the  breaking  down  of  Calhoun  s  theory  of  secession. 
He  had  no  remedy  to  offer,  but  he  offered  two  sug- 
gestions. One  was  that  we  should  do  more  work 
ourselves.  The  other  Is  best  stated  as  Mr.  Forney 
stated  it  himself : 

"  Now,  let  me  show  yon  how  much  money  we  are  pay-  - 
tng  every  year  to  distant  nations  for  material  that  we  can 
make  at  leaat  as  well  amonir  ourselveB.  A  great  country 
lllte  this  should  be  entirely  Independent  of  foreign  naUona, 
in  the  one  fact  that  It  should  not  buy  from  them  what  It 
can  produce  as  well,  or  l>etter,  itself.  And  this  leHson  Is 
taugnt  by  all  successful  nations.  The  traest  free  trade  Is 
that    which     buys     from     others     what    we    cannot 

Sroduee.  and  sella  to  them  what  they  cannot  pro- 
uce.  Take  now,  for  instance,  as  an  Ulnstratloa 
of  theae  thonghta,  a  recent  official  record  of  the  11 
months  ending  May  31,  1877,  of  the  import*  introduced 
into  the  United  Statea,  by  which  it  appeared  that  the  ag- 
gregate for  the  last  flncal  year  of  Indtutrial  disaster  was 
more  than  ^180,000.000,  most  of  which  could  be  made 
in  our  own  country  with  the  alightert  concert  of  action. 
How  many  men  and  women  woula  these  enormous 
industries  give  employment  tot  You  can 
answer  that  question  yuurvelves.  I  simply 
throw  out  the  thought  to  show  you  that  if  we  wldied  to 


utilise  our  opportimitiea,  there  need  not  be  in  tbis  contt- 
try,  even  in  hard  times,  with  anything  like  acreement  be- 
tween labor  and  capital  and  a  wise  and  forbeaiing  spbit 


Original  poem  was  read  by  Mr.  J.  W.  Hura.  In  the 
eveutnc  a  ba&cmet  and  hop  at  the  Baker  House  ter- 
mhiated  the  oslebratlon. 


on  the  part  of  our  National  and  State  LegUlatnrea— 
there  need  not  be,  I  repeat,  such  a  thing  aa  an  unem- 
ployed man  or  woman  In  the  United  States  In  one  year 
from  toHlay." 

CoL  Fitzgerald  then  made  a  brief  address,  remarks 
were  nude  by  Mr.  Landis  and  a«veial  others,  uad  an 


COLLECTOR  FREELANI/S  CASE. 


SUXORC  COKOEK2?IXG  THE  CHARGES  AGAINST 
HIM — HE  BELIEVES  THEU  TO  BE  POR 
SPECULATION  AND  REVENGE— GEK.  HAYES 
SAID  TO  BE  THE  COMING  MAN, 
The  charges  against  Collector  Freeland  stiU 
engross  a  la^e  share  of  the  conversation  of  oflicials 
and  politicians  ta  Brooklyn.  Mr.  Silverman,  who 
makes  the  chaises,  is  said  to  be  exerthog  aU  his  ener- 
gies in  this  City  to  secure  eridence  to  sustain  them, 
and  neither  the  Collector  nor  any  of  his  accused  depu- 
ties have  seen  him.  Mr.  Bowden,  ex-deputy,  is  spoken 
of  as  a  probable  witness  to  prove  Mr.  Freeland  guilty 
of  extortion,  although  a  letter  recently  written 
by  thiin  exprerses,  i't  is  said,  the  highest  per- 
sonal regard  for  the  Collector  and  his  deptities. 
Mr.  Freeland  and  his  Chief  Deputy,  Boone,  both  be- 
lieve that  neither  Bowden  nor  Glllen,  who  were  re- 
cently removed,  are  in  any  way  responsible  for  the 
charges,  but  that  they  are  worked  op  by  Washington 
lobbyists,  who  hope  to  make  money  out  of  the  affair, 
and  to  avenge  themselves  ui>on  Mr.  Freeland  because 
of  his  refusal  to  solicit  Mr.  Beecher's  aid  in  sectuing 
a  foreign  mission  for  aback  politician.  Inspector 
W.  H.  Brooks  is  searching  for  facts  tot  tise  in  the 
investigation,  and  has  had  a  consultation  with 
Messrs.  Bowden  and  Jacobs,  who  will  probably  be 
witnesses.  Gaff,  Fleischman  &  Co..  Mr.  Reiner,  a 
rectifier  of  apirits,  and  a  number  of  cigar  and  to- 
boccO  dealers  will  also  appear  for  the  prosecution. 
An  opinion  wevails  in  Brooklyn  that  while  there  is 
no  likelihood  that  the  charges  against  Mr.  Freeland 
will  be  Btistained,  he  will,  nevertheless,  be  removed 
soon,  and  that  Gen.  Edwin  L.  Havs,  of  the  Twenty- 
third  "Ward  a  distant  relative  of  the  President,  wUl 
be  appointed  in  his  stead.  -  Gen.  Hayes'  relatives  say 
that  he  applied  for  the  place,  understanding  that  Mr. 
IVeeland  s  term  had  expired,  and  that,  on  accouint  of 
his  age,  he  would  not  be  reappointed ;  that  he  ap- 
plied on  the  strength  of  his  war  record,  and  in  no 
sense  on  account  of  his  relationship  to  the  President ; 
and  that  the  charges  against  Mr.  Freeland  were  an 
entire  surprise  to  nim,  (Gen,  Hayes.]  It  is  also  an- 
nounced that  the  appointment  of  Gen.  Hayes  had 
been  dlssussed  in  Cabinet,  and  that  all  the  members, 
except  the  President  and  Secretary  Schurx.  voted  in 
favor  of  him.  It  is  also  asserted  that  he  has  the 
active  advoca^  of  Secretary  Sherman,  Chief -Justice 
Waite,  Gen,  Sherman,  Gov.  Hartranft.  and  others.

ACCUSED  OF  FRAVDULEXT  PRACTICES. 
A  man  named  Max  Greenebaunx  ulias  Simon 
Harnett,  alias  Abraham  Greene,  v&a  arrested  yester- 
day morning  by  Capt,  Foley  and  Sergt.  Maloney,  of 
the  Tenth  Precinct.  He  was  su-ipected  of  endeavor- 
ing to  f raudtilently  dispose  of  a  large  quantity  of 
clothing  material  which  had  been  intrusted 
to  him  for  conversion  into  garments. 
After  hia  arrest  the  ofhrers  searched 
a  hou^e  in  Tliirty-seveiith-.strcet.  near  Eighth-avenue, 
and  found  five  trunks  filled  with  goods  valued  at  sev- 
eral thousands  of  dollars.  These  were  taken  to  the

TJIE  EXD  OF  A  MISVSED  LIFE. 
Arthur  J.  Hosfoni  diod  .-uddenly  at  his  resi- 
dence. No.  27  West  Fourth-street,  yesterday  morn- 
ing. The  cause  of  his  death  is  believed  to  have  been 
apoplexy,  accelerated  by  excessive  drinking.  The 
deceased  was  an  artist  by  profession,  and  was  well 
known  although  his  works  have  not  beenof  an  ambitions 
or  superior  character.  He  was  a  native  of  England 
and  about  40  years  of  age.  He  firat"bracticed  his 
profes»ion  in  London,  wliere,  it  is  said,  ho  was 
for  a  time  very  ^uccessluh  Al>out  10  years  ago, 
meeting  with  some  reverses  in  fortune,  be  came  to 
this  City,  where  he  has  since  resided,  lie  then  went 
to  reside  in  thehotise  in  which  he  closed  his  career. 
He  wasnotauccessfulhere,  and  his  works  of  late  years. 
It  is  said,  have  bron  what  artist*  term  *•  pot-boilers." 
Hosford  did  some  work  for  the  theatres  occasionally. 
His  most  successful  production  in  tliat  direction  was 
the  "imitation  of  lace  upon  the  drop-curtaiu  of  the 
Lyceum  Theatre. 

A  GREEXBACK  VEMOXSTRATIOX. 
A-  greenback  meeting  was  held  at  Pater- 
son, N.  J..  lastN  night,  over  1,000  persons 
being  present,  most  of  whom  were  unem- 
ployed working  men.  Gon.  Hoxsey,  of  Patcraon, 
and  J.  A.  Beecher,  of  Newark,  spoke  strongly  for 
paying  the  national  bonds  in  greenbacks,  and  substi- 
tuting greenbacks  for  national  bank  notes;  They 
advocated  laborers  combining  to  oppose  combinations 
of  capitalists,  denounced  money  aristocracy  and  rail- 
road corporation  bondholders,  and  said  that  the 
President  should  have  issued  a  proclamation  that 
labor  wat  oppressed,  and  called  a  special  session  of 
Congress  Instead  of  sending  troops  against  the  op- 
pressed strikers.  The  speeches  were  warmly  ap- 
plauded. Arrangements  were  made  to  send  dele- 
£tea  tb  the  State  Greenback  .Convention  next  Tues- 
y.

AVedsesdat,  Aug.  8— P,  M. 
SpeoiU-ation  on  the  ijtoiik  ExeHange  to- 
diiv  waa  characterized  by  a  strong  imiier- 
tyne,  but  outside  of  Western  UnioUp  the  corI 
stocks,  and  the  trunk  line  shares,  business  was 
exti-emiily  dull.  The  grc^atest  improvement 
for  the  day  was  in  the  coal  stocks,  which  re- 
corded an  advance  ranging  from  1  to  3^4  ^ 
cent.,  the  reason  assigned  for  the  upward 
movement  being  the  fevorablo  reports  from  the 
ininine  regions,  which  indicate  a  speedy  settle- 
ment bet^reea  the  companies  and  the  strikers. 
Western  t^nlou  declined  over  1  V  cent,  at  the 
opening:,  under  sales  based  on  the  positive  de- 
i  nial  by  the  o'fficers  of  the  Atlsntic  and  Pacific 
i,  Tele.?Taph  Company  of  the  reports  recently  put 
afloat  that  negotiations  were  in  progress 
looking  toward  a  consolidation  of  the  two  com- 
panies. In  the  latu^  dealings  Western  Union 
c'jhibited  marked  strength,  rising  3I4  1?  cent 
from  the  lowest  point  under  active  purchases. 
This  improvement  took  tho  street  somewhat  by 
surprise,  and  conjecture  was  again  rife  as  to  the 
position  on  the  stock  occupied  by  the  leading 
operators.  The  general  impression  seems  to  be 
that  Jay  Gould  has  not  yet  succeeded  in  market- 
ing his  holdings,  ami  is  determined  to  sustain 
the  price  at  least  ontil  saah  time  as  he  can  find 
confiding  indlTiduala  to  take  the  stock  off  his 
bands. 

Tho  total  transactions  reached  133,890 
shares,  which  embraced  48, 130  Western  Union, 
25.605  Lake  Shore,  19,181  Dolaware,  Lacka- 
iraiuia  and  Western,  10,950  Michigan  Cen- 
tral, 8,710  Delaware  and  Hudson,  5,670  New- 
Vork  Coptxml.  2L275  jlozxia  and  Kmbt  2.700 


St  Paid,  1,600  Erie,  1,200  Norib-wwteia 
preferred,  and  1,137  Toledo  and  Watjaih. 

Western  Union  declined  fr«is  71^  to  70^ 
and  advanced  to  73%  Lake  Shore!  rOM  from 
51  Tg  to  52^8,  and  reacted  to  52^  toelaware, 
Lackawanna  and  Western  adyanesd  ilrcim  40% 
to  42I2,  receded  to  41^,  and  flnallylrscovered 
to  the  highvit  point.  Michigan  Central  ad- 
vanced from  a^  to  4573,  reacted  to  45.^  and 
rose  to  4U.  Delaware  and  Htidsog  advKQced 
from  41  to  43^  the  latter  being  the  closing 
price.  Kev-Tork  Centrfd  ranged  betweep  93% 
and  94%  Morris  and  Essex  rose  froim  S^lg  to 
7OI2,  and  closed  at  7034,  St  Paul  scild  at  259 
251^  for  the  common,  and  at  61i4®61>2  for  the 
preferred,  Brie  at  938®9%,  Norih-wegtem 
preferred  at  5134®52i4.  Toledo  and  Vabash  at 
STg-a*,  Union  Pacific  at  647^  Port  jWayne  at 
87^,  and  Chicago  find  Alton  at  86.  '  Eixpress 
stocks  were  weak  for  Adams,  which  detained 
under  sales  of  odd  lots  from  95  to  9234- 

Mr,  Moses  A.  Wheelock,  Chairman  of  the 
Stock  Exchange,  tendered  hif  resignation  to- 
day, this  action  being  induced  by  hia  inability 
to  meet  losses  incurred  by  him  consequent  on 
the  decline  in  Western  Union  Stock.  Mr. 
'nnieeloo^kjs  one  of  the  oldest  members  ofthe 
exchange,  and  much  sympathy  was  expressed 
for  him  in  his  embarrassments. 

The  stock  of  the  Bertha  and  Edith  Gold 
Mining  Company  has  been  placed  on  the  regular 
list  of  the  New-York  Mining  Board,  and  will  be 
called  to-morrow.  The  company  is  organized 
under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New-York,  the 
capital  stock  being  $3,500,000,  and  the  par 
value  of  the  shares,  which  are  now  assessable, 
$10. 

Money  loaned  at  292i<)  ^  cent,  daring  the 
greater  portion  of  the  day,  but  at  the  close 
there  were  free  offerings  at  l^a  V  cent.  Dis- 
counts are  unchanged.  The  national  bank  notes 
received  at  Washington  for  redemption  to-day 
were  $650,000,  Customs  receipts,  $450,000, 
and  revenue  receipts  $300,000.  The!  following 
were  the  rates  of  exchange  on  New- York  at  the 
undermentioned  cities  to-day :  Savannah,  bay- 
ing, ig;  selling,  \i  premium;  Charleston, 
stronger,  3-16  w  I4  premium ;  Cincinx^ati  easier, 
but  not  quotably  lower  :  buying  par,  selling 
1-10 ;  New-Orleans,  commercial,  ^ ;  bank,  I4  ; 
St.  Louis,  75  premium,  and  Chicago  par  to  50 
discount. 

The  foreign  advices  reported  the  London  mar- 
ket for  securities  lower  for  Consols  and  fiirm  for 
United  States  bonds,  but  the  changes  as  com- 
pared with  yesterday  were  slight.  The  former 
closed  at  OoigSSpiii,  for  money  and  the  account, 
and  the  latter  at  lOeSg  a.  IO6I2  for  4:\  9  cents, 
10738®  1071.2  for  53  of  1881,  lOGS*  for  1867s, 
and  1  lOoy  for  lO-lOs.  Erie  common  rose  to 
ySg  and  the  prefemid  to  19i2,  bit;  the  latter 
taosed  at  19.  Illinois  Central  sold  at  59ltj. 
New-York  Central  declined  1  ¥  cent,  to  91i.,j, 
but  recovered  at  the  close  to  92.  The  sum  of 
£358,000  bnlUon  was  withdrawn  from  the 
Bank  of  Etiglaud  to-day  on  balance.  At  Paris 
Rentes  closed  at  lOUf.  37  loo-  after  selling  up  to 
106f.  37I2C. 

Tho  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  qtiiet  and 
the  rates  for  actual  business  remained  at  $4  H\ 
^•$4  8434  for  bankers  60-day  sterling  bills,  and 
$4  86  a  $4  861-2  for  demand,  the  nominal  asking 
quotations  being  $4  851-2  and  $4  87. 

The  Gold  -speculation  was  weaker  on  a  small 
business.  The  opening  and  closing  quotation 
was  105%  with  sales  in  the  interim  at  IO5I-4. 
Cash  Gold  loaned  from  2  #'  cent,  for  use  to  fiat. 

Government  bonds  were  steady  on  small 
transactions.  The  new  registered  4  ^  cents 
sold  at  10514a  1053b.  and  41-23  aH08%.  In 
railroad  mortgages  the  dealings  footed  up 
$191,000.  The  market,  generally  speaking,

THE  INTERNATIONAL  RIFLE  MATCH, 

CLOSmO  COMPETITIOK  FOB  &ELECTINQ  THK 
AUERICAIT  LONORAS^aZ:  TZAK. 
The  four  eompetitiona  for  the  purpose  of  se- 
lectfaig  the  American  teun  were  praetlc&Uj  eoneluiied 
yeaterdaj.  Some  of  the  competlton  have  been  ab- 
sent from  one  or  more  competitionB,  and 
'they  wlQ  he  afforded  an  opportunity  to 
shoot  on  Saturday,  and  on  Monday  and  Tnoa- 
dft7  next,  to  make  np  their  deficiency.  Until  these 
ecoree  are  completed,  it  ia  Imposaiblo  to  foreshadow, 
with  accuracy,  who  will  constitute  the  team,  as  the 
list  of  delinqnetits  includes  Qen.  Dakhiv  Major 
Jewell,  and  Messrs.  Webtnr,  Sathhone,  &ad  Clark,  all 
of  whom  have  ^od  '  prospects  of  being  in 
the  magic  "  Eight.'*  The  weather  yesterday 
was  Tery  good  for  sliooting,  ezceptlns  the 
almost  inevitable  '*  flah  tail "  wiTtd,  which  pre- 
vailed in  the  afternoon.  During  the  contest  at  SOO 
yards  distance  there  was  sr«ToeIy  any  breeze  percep- 
tible, but  at  900  and  1,000  yards  range  the  wind 
sprang  up,  and  it  became  necessary  to  pay  moxi^'at- 
tention  to  the  variations  of  tJie  wtnd-gange  thicn  be- 
fore. Twenty-two  of  the  competitors  were  present, 
rhe  total  made  by  the  first  eight  was  1 ,  640  polnta,  the 
highest  score  ever  recorded,  and  completely  eclipsing 
ttie  fine  scores  made  by  the  teams  in  the  tnatch  laut 
year.  Gen.  Daldn,  finding  that  his  gun  had  been  in- 
jured by  the  storm  to  which  it  was  exposed  on  the 
Krevioos  day,  requested  permission  of  the  committee 
avinc:  charge  of  the  m.atch  to  allow  him  to  shoot  ont 
his  score  after  the  competition  had  been  flnUhed  at 
J. 000  yards.  His  request  was  granted,  and  he  used 
Col.  "Wingate's  gun  at  the  next  two  ranges.  When 
he  shot  his  score  at  800  yards,  he 
Commenced  anew,  and  made  74  ont 
of  a  possible  75  points.  Some  of  the  other  com- 
petitors toot  exceptions  to  the  right  of  the  eom- 
mittee  to  grant  him  this  privilege,  and  still  more  at 
hissing  allowed  to  commence  his  score  anew,  but 
no  ijsrmal  protest  was  entered.  Mr.  Rathbone 
eJaime>d  the  same  nrivllege,  but  was  refused.  Fol- 
Inwinif  are  the  total  scores  made  at  each  range,  the 
kghestJittainable  number  being  225  poin|s :

ANOTHER  VICTORY  FOR  THE   RED  StOCKTXGS 
OF  BOSTON — THEY    DEFEAT    THE    HART- 
FORDS  OF  BROOKLYN.  1 
The  seventh  game  of  the  championship  series 
between  the  Red  Stockings  of  Boston,  and  the  Brook- 
IvB-Hartford  Club,  was  pdayed  on  the  Union  Grounds 
yesterday  afternoon,   in  the  presence  of  abpat  X.500 
Bpectators.      The  contest  was   a    very   floae    one 
thronsrhont,   and  resulted,  in  a  well-earned  victory 
tor  the  visitinar  team  "by  t2ie  small  score  of  5  to   3. 
Flay  was  called  at  4:10  P.   M.  by  the  un^ire,    Mr. 
Bunce,  of  the  Nameless  Clnb,  the  visitors  taking  the 
field.    Faultless  fieldin?  marked  the  play  of  both 
clubs  during  the  first  three  innings,  as  no  cons  were 

p'-ored.  although  some  safe  battinz  was  done  by  play- 
^rs  on  both  sides.  In  the  fourth  inning.  -O'Ronrke 
opened  the  play  for  the  Bostons  by  earning  his  first 
'ha.<te  on  a  good  hit,  and  by  swift  base  running 
reached  hts  third.  Sutton,  after  two  bands  were  put 
out,  followed  with  a  base  hit,  on  which  O'Ronrke 
ncored.  This  gave  them  the  lead.,  which  ,'the7  held 
np  to  the  ftrth  inning,  when  the  Hartfords  tied 
the  score,  Cassldy  and  Habiidj^  earning  a 
run       by       good      'batting.  O'Rourke        again 

won  the  lead  for  his  side.  '  in  the 
next  inninrby  his  daring  base  running,  assintod  by  a 
splendid  drive  for  three  baAes  by  WTilte.  From  this 
point  out  all  intere.st  in  the  game  r6ased,|a8  it  was 
evident  from  iXhe  manner  in  which  the  visitors  were 
playing  that  the  Hv^ords  could  not  poa^lbly  over- 
come the  odds  against  them.  The  Bostons  added  1 
more  to  their  score  in  the  eighth  inning.  »and  2  in  the 
ninth,  which  brought  their  total  up  to  5-1  In  the 
ninth  inning  the  Hartfords  also  scored  2  runs  on  er- 
rors by  Shafer  and  gpod  hits  by  York  sn^  CassIUy, 
after  two  hands  were  disposed  of.  JTolluwiag  is  a 
■^uU  score :

FAILVRB  OF  MOSFS  A.  WBEEIOCK. 
The  announcement  of  the  failure  of  Moses 
A..  Wheelock.  the  Chairman  of  the  Stock  Board,  cre- 
sted a  decided  sensation  on  the  street  yesterday.  Mr. 
Wheelock  is  one  of  the  oldest  members  of  the  Ex- 
change,  having  been  connected  with  it  n>r  upward 
of  30  years,  dtiring24of  which,  he  has  held  an 
official  position  in  the  board.  His  salary  aa  Chair- 
man unta  1873  was  912,000  per  year,  bttt  after  the 
panic  it  was  cut  down  to  ^7,000.  The  Immediate 
:ause  of  his  failure  is  ssdd  to  have^been  over  specula- 
tion in  Western  Union  Telegraph  stocK,  but  the 
amount  of  his  liabilities  is  not  thought  t^  be  large. 
Until  a  few  years  ago  the  Chairman  was  forbidden  to 
speculate,  but  since  1873  the  rule  to  that;  effect  has 
been  partially  abrogated,  so  that  Mr.  Whbelock  can- 
not be  considered  to  have  violated  any  tni»t  reposed 
Ln  him.  He  was  the  best  and  most  efficient  Chairman 
;he  Stock  Exchange  ever  had,  and  possess^  a  knowl- 
*  edge  of  SVali-atreet  affairs  which  was  vouchsafed  to 
few.  Much  regret  was  e^roressed  among  tjie  brokers 
vesterday  at  ttie  news  01  his  misfortune,  and  the 
!bope  was  generally  indulged  Id  that  [he  would 
emerge  from  it  without  detriment.  A  meeting  of  the 
tjoveminK  Committee  of  the  Exchange  was  he^T^ur- 
Ing  the  afternoon  to  consider  Ms  resignacfon.  buhno 
ofticial  action  has  yet  been  annonnced.  jMr.  James 
Mitchell,  the  Vice-Chairman,  has  been  summoned 
home  from  his  vacation  to  take  Mr.  "^Vheelock's 
^lace.  1

Single  males.  l,06Gi;  single  females,  101$;  iivirried 
males,  1.273;  married  females,  1,631  :|  unknown 
males.  51;  females,  61.  Thehativltyof  the  patients 
admitted  during  thel  year  was  as  follows ;  New- York, 
114;  other  States,!  5.  Of  foreigners  Ireland  pen- 
tributed  114,  of  which  number  76  were  females; 
England,  17;  Scotland.  3:  Germany,  47:  Canada,  2; 
France,  3;  Sweden.l4;  other  countries,  9.1 

There  was  one  suicide  in  the  year— the  first  in 
three  years.  The  death  rate  was  smaller  than  last 
year,  namely,  5.-10  per  centum.  At  one  period  of 
the  year  there  werej  827  patients  imder  treatment  In 
the  buildinf.  withi'a  capacity  for  accoibmodating 
only  G50.  There  are  stUT  about  50  female  patients 
who  might  be  transferred  to  the  Hospital  for  In- 
curables if  there  was  room  to  accommodate  them. 
The  accommodations  for  patients  in  the  asylum  will 
probably  be  adequate  for  at  least  two  yea^  to  come. 

The  Doctor  claimed  that  the  managemient  of  the 
asylum  had  been  the  subject  of  unfalc  criticism 
during  the  year,  and  says:  "With  an  4verage  of 
over  800  patients  under  our  care,  with  only  two 
physicianB,  and  without  an  apothecary  or  clerk.  It 
has  been  impossible  to  do  as  we  desired,  and  should 
otherwise  have  done,  and  the  incompleteness, and 
fault,  if  any,  cannot  be  justly  charged  against  the 
managing  officers  of  the  inslitntion.  In  my  laat  re- 
port I  set  forth  as  plainly  as  possible  the  difficulties 
and  dangers  of  sa(m  a  course,  but  my  redommenda- 
tions  and  requests  have  been  unheeded."    ! 

In  view  of  his  resi^atien  having  been  tjendered  to 
the  board  in  May  last,  I)r.  Blanchard  doe«  not  make 
suggestions  for  tne  future,  leaving  that  to  his  suc- 
cessor, Dr.  Paraons.  I 

Mr.  Williani  Murray,  Superintendent  of  the  Alms- 
house, reports  that  in  the  month  of  January  there 
were  1,134  inmates,  and  that  the  number  during  the 
month  has  never  been  less  than  770.  ■  The  accommo- 
dations, tK>th  in  the  male  and  female  departments,  he 
pronounces  bad.  He  recommends  that  a  wide  st&ircaae 
be  erected  in  the  centre  of  the  building  occupied  by 
the  females,  and  sKys  that  with  the  present  mode  of 
egress  the  loss  of  life  in  case  of  Are  would  undoubted- 
ly be  heavy.  The  construction  of  an  additional 
buildinz  Is  recommended.  The  percentage  of  deaths 
In  the  children's  nursery  has  been  unusually  large, 
owing  to  the  overcrowded  ?ondltion  of  the  waroa. 
The  report  continues  as  follows  :  '*  I  think  that  the 
erection  of  a  work-house,  and  the  compulsory  labor 
of  all  inmates  that  the  attending  physician  shall 
pronounce  able  to  work,  would  improve  the  condi- 
tion of  such  inmates.  I  would  also  recommend, 
should  a  workhouse  be  established,  that  the  inmates 
be  properly  classified,  so  that  the  unfortunate  pelrson 
driven  by  cirr^mstances  to  seek  a  shelter  here  fijtr  a 
time  may  nju- be  compelled  to  come  In  hourly  con- 
tact with  thj  decraded  rounder  and  revolver,  who 
looks  forwanl  with  tranquil  feelings  and  placid  indif- 
ference to  A  life  at  the  pahlir  expense  and  a  paupers 
crave.  This  would,  in  my  opinion,  restore  to  this 
class  of  persons  their  self -respect,  and  reverse  the 
almost  imiveraal  rule  of  '  once  a  pauper  always  a 
pauper.' "

THE  MUTiDER  OF  JOSX  E.  DAILET. 
Nothing  new  can  be  ascertained  inj  this  City 
in  relation  to  the  murder,  at  San  Frandsoo.  of  John 
E.  Dalley.  formerly  a  Wall-street  broker,  by  L.  C 
Hanks,  also  a  former  resident  of  this  City.  It  is  sur- 
mised by  those  who  were  acquainted  with  the  men 
that  the  cause  of  the  murder  was  a  personal  difficulty 
connected  with  some  stockjobbing  operation.  The 
news  of  Dailey's  death  was  first  received  by  hia  rela- 
tives in  New-Haven  by  a  dispatch  from  San  Fran- 
cisco, received  In  the  evening.  The  most  intense  ex- 
citement was  created  by  the  dispatch,  and  Mr.  Hugh 
DaUey.  brother  of  the  deceased,  an  attach^  of  the 
.New- York  and  Boston  Postal  .Service,  was  at  once 
telegraphed  for  to  rejoin  the  family.  The  grief -stricken 
relatives  clung  to  the  hope  that  the  report  of  the 
killine  of  ••■Jack."  as  the  deceased  was  fan^liarly 
called,  was  untrue,  and  a  dispatch  was  sent  to  Mr. 
Leland.  proprietor  of  the  Palace  Ho^el,  at  which  Mr. 
Dailey  had  been  stoppine  in  San  Pranoisco,  asking  if 
*'  Brother  John"  wasredilydead.  Only  a  day  previous 
to  the  dispatch  annoancing  his  death  the  family  had 
received  a  long  letter  from  the  deceased  giving  a 
long  account  of  the  late  riots  in  San  Prancisco,  and 
telltuK  how  he  had  himself  been  a  commander  of  a 
company  under  the  Vigilance  Committee.  The  de- 
ceased's mother  had  been  in  a  very  precarious  con- 
dition for  some  time,  and  H  was  feared  that  the  ter- 
rible news,  if  ronftrmed.  would  CAu.se  her  a  shock 
that  would  be  followed  by  verj-  serious  rt-sults. 


A  ZTAyiAC  IX  SUFFOLK  COVyTY  JAIL. 

Mrs.  Gorgen,  accompanied  by  Jlrs.  jGleste,  of 
Breslau.  and  a  male  friend,  visited  J.^r  busband  In 
the  Suffolk  County:  Jail  on  TJuesday.  li  appeared 
from  the  conversation  among;  the  party  that  thev 
had  been  sent  by  the  officers  of  |  two  societies  of  me- 
chanics, of  which  Gorgen  is  a  member,  jto  inquire 
into  his  condition  with  a  view,  should  it  bo  found 
worse,  to  commencing  an  action  against  tie  authori- 
ties of  Suffolk  County  for  Improper  treatmeint  of  the 
prisoner.  When  they  arrived  Gorgen  was  linusually 
wild,  being  entirely  naked,  and  it  was  impossible  to 
keep  clothing  upon  him.  His  wife  had  brought  him 
a  pair  of  new  pantaloons  made  of  bi^wn  dack  with 
patent  buttons,  which  they  managed  to  get  on  him. 
tint  before  they  left  the  jail  he  had  torn  off  tbeibut- 
tons  and  waistband,  and  he  soon  afterward  hadj  the 
pantaloons  torn  in  pieces.  In  the  course  of  the  I  day 
Br.  Thayer,  the  jail  physician,  succeeded  In  getting 
some  medicine  down  his  throat,  which  had  a  quieting 
effect ;  but  it  is  feared  that  it  will  mkiu  be  necessary 
to  put  him  in  a  stnut-jackct.  When  the  party 
left  they  announced  that  leeal  measures  would  be 
taken  to  compel  the  authorities  to  investigate  his 
condition.  They  absolved  County  Judge  Hedges 
from  all  blame  in  the  matter,  but  seemed  dlsposea  to 
censure  District  Attorney  Wickham.  The  prisoner, 
who  has  been  a  resident  of  Kings  County  fdr  12 
years,  had  been  in  Suffolk  County  only  a  few  hionrs 
when  he  killed  his  child,  and  is  now  likely  to  beijome 
a  charge  upon  Suffolk  for  the  rest  of  his  life. 

A  STABBING  AFFRAY  AT  QUTTEySEltG, 

The  Police  of  Weehawken  and  Ho!bokezi  are 
investigating  the  affray  which  occurred  ^n  Ghitten- 
bexg.  N.  J.,  early  Monday  morning,  in  which  three 
persons  were  stabbed.  A  party  of  notorioua  rotighs 
from  North  Hndaon  County  forced  their  wny  int^  the 
saloon  of  Mrs.  Catharine  Toph  in  Outtenbergi  and 
sought  to  induce  Mr.  Toph  to  play  some  secular  nuulc- 
When  be  refused  they  became  boiaterous]  and  sen  ef- 
fort was  made  to  put  them  oat.  In  the  struggle  [Mrs. 
Toph  was  stabbed  twice — once  in  the  ear  andonee  on 
the  neck— by  John  Aiken,  one  of  the  warty.  \  Mr. 
Toph  went  to  the  assistance  of  his  datigliter-intlaw. 
anj  was  stabbed  in  the  breast.  Mrs.  Toph's!  son 
John,  who  also  interfered,  was  stabbed  oi  tne  wrist, 
John  Walker,  a  cane  maker,  succeeded  ini  capturing 
Aiken,  but  a  party  of  roughs  rescued  the  prisoner. 
The  wounds  of  none  of  the  injured  parties  ^re  serious. 

NEW-JERSEY  RAILROAD  TAXATION. 
The  case  of  the  Central  Railroad'  ofsv^ejsi, 
Jersey,  the  New-Jersey  Southern,  andotherrailroada, 
was  before  Judge  Depue  in  the  Supreme  Court  in 
Newark  yesterday.  The  case  is  an  appeal:from  taxes 
assessed  on  them  by  the  State  Board  of  Railroad 
Commissioners.  The  suit  involves  about  $200,000. 
Attorney-General  Stockton  represented  rthe  State, 
and  ex-Attomey-General  Vanatta  and  ^Barker  Gum. 
mere  the  railroads.  A  number  of  witnesses  were  ex- 
amined, among  them  Gen.  Fitz  John  Porter,  who 
testified  as  an  expert  that  he  was  familiar  with  tho 
Central  Railroad,  and '  that  he  had  estimated  the 
value  of  the  main  line,  including  road-bed,  real  estate 
and  rolling  stock  at  about  $14,000,000.  and  consid- 
ered the  taxation  estimate  of  the  railroad's  value  too 
high.  Ashbel  Welsh  testified  that  he  considered  the 
road  worth  about  $22,000,000.  The  ease  of  the 
N'ew>Jersey  Southern  was  next  taJben  np,  pending 
whh^h  the  court  adjourned.

T^ere  was  rery  Uttle  new  to  record  in  ex- 
oSae  matters  yesterday.     The  rtuh  of  HDpUcauta  for 
lioenses  oentinues,  and  although  the  Police  have  so 
far  paid  little  or  no  attention  to  the  receipts  of  the' 
Exdae  Board,  the  liquor  dealers  are  still  anxious  to 
get     them,     and    thtia    comply,    at    far    as   may 
be,     with    the    law.      Three    hundred  and   twen- 
ty     applications      and     $16,800     were     received 
at  the  Excise  office.   In  Houston-street,   yesterday, 
maUng  a  total  of  2.700  dealers  who  have  thus  far 
complied  "nith  the  requirements  of  the  statute.    A 
great  deal  of  Indignation  it  manifested  at  the  oon^ 
duct     of      The     Police     in     continuing     to     mo- 
lest      dealera     who      have      filed       their      appli- 
eatiooa     and     paid     their     license     money,      and 
are  only  awaiting  the  final  decision  of  the  board.    A 
particularly  aggravatiog  case  is  that  of  William 
ILamb,  of  No.  30  Roie-street,  who  was  arrested  on 
Monday  niffht  for  selling  without  a  license.  It  appears 
that   Lamb's  license,  like  most  others,  had  expired 
k  short  time  since,  and,  wishing  to  give  no  excuse  for 
Interference,  he  immediately  filed  his  application  for 
a  renewial,  accompanied  by  the  usual  bond  In  $250 
penalty:  He  also  paid  the  $75  required  bylawandre- 
^etved  his  receipt.     On  Monday  night  a  big,   burly 
policeman  entered  his  place,  and  in  a  rough  tone  de- 
panded'  his    license.     Xiamb,    who    is    ah     old  man, 
land     suffering    from    consumption,     explained     to 
officer      that' -he      had      applied     for    one, 
t  that  the  board,  through  stress  of  business,  had 
ot  bad  time  to  pass  upon  it.     He  also  exhibited  the 
eceipt  for  his  license-money,  but  the  officer  refused 
pay  any  attention  to  It,  and  insisted  on  his  accom- 
.nying  him  to  the  Atation-liouse.    Lamb's  son,  who 
as  standing  by,  explained  to  the  policeman  that 
his    father    was    old    and    In    feeble    health,     and 
pegged  that  he  might  be  taken  to  the  station-house 
In   his    stead.     The    officer  ordered    hira    to   "shut 
iup  and  mind  his  own  business,"  and  then  dragged 
the  unfortunate  old  man  to  the  station -house,   where 
ho  was  thrust  into  a  sweltering  cell  alongwith  anum- 
ber  of  others,  and  confined  there  until  morning. 

Major  GeorRe  W.  Saner,  of  the  German  Liquor- 
Dealers'  Association,  in  commenting  on  thia  case  yes- 
terfay  said:  "  If  such  an  infamous  outrage  had  oc- 
curred in  Russia — ^the  most  despotic  country  in  Eu- 
rope^there  would  have  been  a  riot  in  24  hours< 
If  I  was  to  go  abroad  this  Summer  I  would  be 
ashamed  to  say  that  I  was  an  American 
citizen.  How  respectable  Americans  can 
stand  by  and  see  such  outrages  committed, 
and  then  call  this  a  '  free  countiy'  is  more  than  I 
can  understand.  There  is  actually  more  liberty  to- 
day on  the  Ccmtinent  of  Europe  than  there  is  here. 
1  can  go  Into  any  country  in  Europe  and  not  one  of 
thoae  '  effete  monarchies,'  that  our  orators  a^  so 
fond  of  abusing,  will  dare  to  prescribe  what  I  shall 
eat  or  drink.  It  Is  only  here  In  '  free"  America 
that  we  see  an  insolent,  overbearing  Police  dragging 
innocent  (;^ltizens  and  ta:£-payer8  to  Jail  because  an 
obsolete  law,  worthv  of  tne  d^lc  ages,  has  been 
dragged  from  oblivion  by  a  legal  decision. 
There  are  plenty  of  obsolete  laws  on  the 
Btatute-Dook  of  Great  Britain  which.  If  they 
were  enforced  to-day  would  cause  a  revolution. 
These  sumptuary  laws  are  the  relics  of  the  ascetic 
ase  succeeding  the  Reformation  and  have  been 
Bholi*hftd  by  every  civilized  country  except  America. 
These  Oliver  Cotters.  Prancls  Murphys,  and  other 
converted  dmnkard.<»  who  have  wallowed  In  rum  until 
their  brains  have  become  afFected,go  about  the  country 
Ailing  people's  heads  with  nonseuee  on  this  subject, 
and  our  legislators  are  too  cowardly  to  encounter 
the  mock  poblic  sentiment  thus  created."  Major 
Saner  added  that  the  (Vrmans  would  not  cease  agita- 
ting this  question  nntll  their  rights  were  accorded 
and  they  were  allowed  the  same  liberty  here  that  Is 
enjoyed  elsewhere. 

The  Germans  generally  are  very  Indignant  at  the 
conduct  of  the  Police  Board,  especially  of  Commls- 
sloner  Nichols,  whom  they  claim  eave  them  assurances 
that  the  receipts  of  the  Excise  Board  would  be  re- 
spected until  some  settlement  could  be  effected.  The 
Excise  Board,  at  Ita  m«»eting  yesterday,  irranted  seven 
licenses,  making  less  than  60  issued  thus  far  out  of 
the  2,(500  applied  for.

A    SMALL   MEETINO   OP     LIQUOR-DEALEES. 

In  some  of  the  morning  papers  yesterday  ap- 
peared an  advertisement  In  which  the  liquor-dealers 
uf  the  City  were  requested  to  "  arouse  ''  and  attend  a 
meeting,  under  the  auspices  of  the  liquor  and  Beer 
Dealers'  Protective  Association,  at  Putnam  Hall,  cor- 
ner of  Third-avenue  and  Twelftti-street.  It  was  an- 
nounced that  the  object  -of  the  meeting  was 
to  effect  a  consolidation  of  all  existing  societies 
into  one  grand  oi;gnnlzatlon.  In  response  to  this 
call  four  dealers  straggled  Into  the  hot  and  stifling 
hall  between  7:30  P.  M.  and  3  P.  M.  An  hour  later 
yir.  John  Keenan  calied  nine  dealers  and  a  few  un- 
employed bar-toDders  to  order.  In  doing  so,  be  an- 
nounced that  the  meeting  had  been  called  simply  for 
the  purpose  of  mal(ing  some  preliminary  arrange- 
ments for  the  holding  of  a  grand  maaa-meeting,  at 
which  it  was  expected  that  all  the  organizations 
would  co-operate  to  effect  measures  looking  to 
tfae  better  protection  of  the  trade.  Notwithstand- 
ing this  announcement,  a  voltmilnous  preamble  mid 
several  verbose    resolutions    were    read  and  adopt- 

1  ed.  The  Btibstance  of  the  resolutions  was  that  it  is 
I  the  desire  of  the  liquor  and  beer  dealers  to  obey  just 
I  laws;  that  they,  however,  protest  against  the  pres- 
ent Excise  law,  as  admitting  of  interpretations  injuri- 
ous to  the  trade ;  that  the  meetinc  deemed  it  unjust 

i  and  outrageous  for  the  Police  to  ignore  the  receipts 
of  the  Excise  Board;  that  they  [the  dealers]  denounce 
1  aa  tyrannical  the  arre.st  of  members  of  the  trade  at 
I  uni^omly  hours,  and  their  Incarceration  over 
I  night  In  filthy  cells,  with  criminals  of  the 
I  lowest  classes,  and  that  the  increase  of  the 
i  excise  fee  from  $50  to  $75  was  unjust.  An 
additional  resolution,  tendering  tho  thanks  of  the 
dealers  to  those  members  of  the  Legislature  who 
advocated  the  jiassaire  of  the  defeated  Pro-liquor  act, 
was  also  adopted.  Two  of  the  nine  dealers  m.ide 
brief  speeches.  Capt.  Stephen  O'Keefe,  a  leading 
member  of  the  Uquor  and  Beer  Dealers'  Protective 
Association,  expressed  the  belief  that  no  dealers 
would  object  to  paying  the  regular  license  fee, 
if  the  receipts  therefor,  issued  by  the  Ex- 
cise Board,  guarauteed  them  protection 
ponding  the  consideration  of  their  applica- 
tions. Under  existing  circumstances  it  seemed 
to  him  that  those  who  refused  to  comply  with  the 
law  were  apparently  as  well  protected  as  those  who 
have  conscientiouslrpaidtheirfeesandarewaitingthe 
pleasure  of  the  Excise  Board  to  issue  the  llceitse  cer 
tlflcatos.  Major  Richard  O'Grady  made  some  re- 
marks of  a  similar  tenor,  and  urged  unitv  among  the 
organizations  as  a  means  of  accomplianing  the  ob- 
jects aimed  at.  On  motion  of  Mr.  John  Howard,  the 
following  committe  wa.i  appointed  by  the  Chairman 
to  confer  with  committees  of  other  bodies  of  liquor- 
deiUers  relative  to  the  expediency  of  holding  a  mass- 
meeting  at  Cooper  Institute  at  an  early  date ;  Rich- 
ard O'Grady,  James  Keenan,  Stephen  O'Keefe,  Law- 
rence Keenan,  John  Howard,  Edward  Kearney,  Pat- 
rick Moore,  James  McOovem,  and  Thomas  Doyle. 
The  meeting  then  adjourned.

OVERCROWDED  STEAM-BOATS. 
^  few  days  ago  Mayor  Ely  signed  a  resolution 
which  was  adopted  by  the  Common  CouncQ  at  the 
iiist^nce  of  Alderman  SheUs,  requesting  ■  the  Cor- 
poration Counsel  to  furnish  an  opinion  as  to  tfae 
power  of  the  Aldermen  to  pass  such  ordinances  as 
would  be  likely  to  prevent  the  over-crowding  of 
steam-boats.  It  is  generally  understood  that  the 
United  States  Government  has  exclusive  jurisdiction 
over  the  matter,  and  that  the  qne-stlon  was  intro- 
duced for  the  first  time  In  the  Board  of  Aldermen  by 
3Ir.  Shells.  Yesterday  Mr.  Shells  appeared  before 
the  United  States  Inspectors  of  Steam-boats.  Messrs.

to  a  notice  from  them,  and  in  answer  to  their  ques- 
tions, he  stated  that  he  had  no  personal  knowledge  of 
the  over-crowding  of  steam-boats,  and  that  he  had 
offered  his  resolution  on  account  of  the  numerons 
complaintB  that  were  made  on  the  subject.  It  Is 
probable  that  the  opinion  of  the  Corporation  Cotmsel 
on  the  matter  will  bo  presented  to  the  Aldermen  at 
their  next  meeting.

TURKS — OSMAN  PASHA  VICTORIOUS  ALONG 
THE  WHOLE  LINE. 
Special  Dispatch  by  Cable  to  the  Xeir-York  JHmes. 
London,  Aug.  9. — Disaster  appears  still 
to  attend  tde  enterprises  of  the  Russian  Army 
in  Bwlcrnria.  and  particularly  their  efforts  to  re- 
trieve the  misfortunes  of  Plevna  and  Loftscha. 
The  confidence  engendered  by  their  easy  passa^ 
of  the  Danube  and  their  rapid  pr  gress  toward 
the  Ballfans  still  impels  them  to  attack  the 
Turks  in  their  strong  positions,  and  the  latter 
seem  to  be  satisfied  with  simply  receiving  their 
assaults  and  repelling  them,  the  advantage  in 
Buch  tactics  being  found  in  the  disparity  of  loss. 
Osman  Pasha,  the  Turkish  commander  in  the  re- 
cent successes  on  the  lines  of  the  Vid  and 
Osma  Rivers,  is  di5i>osed  to  humor  the  dis- 
position of  the  Russians  to  attack  him  in  his 
strongholds,  and  coolly  selects  his  own  positions. 
While  the  Russians  were  engaged  in  concentrat- 
ing a  large  force.  der.igned,  at  all  hazards,  to 
redeem  the  defeat  at  Loftscha,  Osman  Pasha 
selected  the  village  of  Vladina,  on  a  spur  of 
a  mountain  ridge  nuining  south-west  and  north- 
east, as  the  point  at  which  to  receive  thejir  at- 
tack. In  this  position  his  right  was  protected 
by  the  river  Osma  and  the  tovra  of  Loftscha,  and 
ais  left  by  intrenchments  which  he  had  tikne  to 
greatly  strengthen. 

Early  on  Tuesday  morning,  the  7th  ijist~,  the 
Russians  advanced  to  the  attack,  opening  with 
the  usual  Are  of  artillery,  which  played  fiercely 
on  the  Turkish  position.  The  Turki.>.h  artillerv- 
men  replied  with  equal  vigor,  and  the  duel  with 
cannon  was  kept  up  for  a  considerable  jtime. 
Under  cover  of  the  roar  and  smoke  of  the.  guns 
a  movement  was  made  by  the  Russians  on  the 
flanks  and  the  centre  of  the  Turkish  position. 
The  Russian  infantry  poured  in  masses  on  the 
Turkish  works,  and  were  received  with  the 
dogged  resistance  that  has  always  characterized 
the  Turks  behind  intrenchments.  A  firm  and 
bitter  fire  was  kept  up  on  the  assailant-s, 
under  which  they  recoiled,  and  at  last  fell  back 
repulsed,  leaving  the  ground  in  front  of  the 
Turkish  works  covered  with  dead  and  wounded. 
The  repulse  was  only  temporary,  however,  for 
the  Ras.sians,  with  splendid  gallantry,  reformed 
ind  charged  again  and  again  upon  the  obstinate 
lefenders.  but  with  the  same  unavailing  and 
dreadfully  fatal  results  as  in  the  first  pnset. 
VoThing  but  undauntoil  pluck  could  have  with- 
stood the  Russian  assaults,  persisted  in  against 
i  murderous  Are  from  rifles  and  rannonl  that 
plowed  their  ranks  through  and  through  as  they 
advanced.  1 

All  the  day  this  fearful  flg>;t  went  on.  the 
Russians  hurlLug  themselves  -with  a  desperate 
courage  on  the  intrenchments  of  the  Turks, 
ind  as  steadily  being  repulsed,  every  assault 
Leaving  its  ghastly  contribution  to  the  dead  and 
(vounded.  Only  at  the  close  of  the  day,  when 
the  Russian  line  staggered  before  the  Turkish 
are,  (lid  Osman  Pasha  give  the  word  to  attack, 
and  from  a  firm  and  steady  defense  the 
Turks  assumed  the  offensive,  rushing  upon 
their  foes  with  overwhelming  force  and 
audacity,  and  at  night  Osman  Pasha  was  vic- 
torious along  the 'entire  line  of  battle.  The 
[osses  on  both  sides  were  heavy,  but  heaviest  on 
the  Russian  side,  from  the  openness,  boldness, 
ind  persistency  of  their  attacics.  and  the  com- 
paratively sheltered  position  of  the  Turks. 

The  telegraphic  dispatch  from  the  special  cor- 
respondent of  the  The  New-York  Times  at 
Shumla,  recently  forwarded,  stated  that  a  great 
battle  was  expected  soon.  A  private  dispatch 
received  from  Adrianople  to-day  says  that  the 
Russians  still  continued  their  retrograde  move- 
ment, and  were  not  expected  to  make  a  stand 
before  reaching  Osman-Bazar.  where  another 
decisive  battle  would  probably  be  fought  about 
Wednesday.  The  Russian  cavalry  were  very 
busy  near  that  place. 

The  Turkish  Government  has  informed  the 
British  Ambassador  at  Constantinople  that  they 
will  themselves,  without  assistance,  be  able  to 
defend  Gallipoli  against  any  attacking  force, 
engineers  are  now  at  work  on  the  fortifications.

Tuesday  morning  a  Russian  force,,  consisting 
of  two  regiments  of  horse  and  one

a  short  conflict,  retired  in  the-direction  of  Pop- 
koi.  Receiving  reinforcemeuts,  they  returned 
once  more  to  the  attack,  but  were  again  repulsed, 
the  Turks  maintaining  their  iwsition.  The  bat- 
tle was  bloody  on  both  sides.  '

bers of  troops  continue  to  arrive  from  Russia,  as

SILISTMA. 

London,  Aug.  9. — The  Times'has  a.'K-as- 
tendje  dispatch  dated  the  5th  inst.,  by  way  of 
Bucharest,  Aug.  8,  which  says  :  "  Gien.  Zim- 
mermann  has  most  of  the  Fourteenth  Corps  and 
a  division  of  another  corps  in  the 
Dobrudscha,  his  ma4n  force  being  encamped 
about  eight  miles  from  Tchemavoda. 
His  operations  have  hitherto  consisted  mainly 
in  sending  out  detachments  of  Cossacks  on 
■  scowtja*  duty  in  ^  directions.    Gen.  Zimmei- 


^^iSlrJSE'.. 


mann's  head-quarters  are  at  Tchemavoda.  It 
is  the  opinion  of  officers  who  should  be  well  in- 
formed, that  they  will  remain  there  until  the 
fall  of  Rustchuk,  or  its  complete  blockade,  so  as 
to  enable  Gen.  Zimmermann  to  operate  against 
Silistria  without  being  taken  in  the  rear." 

The  Bucharest  correspondent  who  forwards 
this  dispatch  calls  attention  to  the  uselessness 
of  Gen.  Zimmormaon's  corps,  as  it  is  powerless 
to  advance  and  cannot  do  anything  until  other 
operations  aire  successful  around  Rustchuk, 
while  it  could  assist  these  operations  were  it  in 
Bulgaria,  and  after  they  were  completed  would 
be  in  a  better  position  to  work  upon  Silistria 
than  from  Tchemavoda.

London,  Aug.  9. — Earl  Feversham,  in  the 
House  of  Lords,  and  Mr.  Bentinck,  in  the 
Hotise  of  Commons,  this  afternoon  confuted, 
at  the  request  of  the  Govemmeit,  to 
refrain  from  calling  attention  to  the 
Eastern  question  for  which  they  had 
notices  on  the  paper.  The  Govern  nentls 
request  is  based  on  the  conviction,  as  sta  ted  by 
Sir  Stafford  Northcote,  Chancellor  of  the  Ex- 
chequer, in  the  House  of  Commons  that 
a  discussion  now  would  be  disadvant  igeous 
to  the  public  service.  Mr.  Bourke,  Undersec- 
retary for  the  Foreign  Department,  in  i?  'ply  to 
a  question,  said  :  "  Tliere  has  been  :  to  ne- 
gotiation between  England  and  Austria  ]  egard- 
ing  the  mobilization  of  Austrian  troops  i  i  case 
Roumania  or  Servia  participates  in  hos  tilities 
or  the  Russians  enter  Ser\-ia.  The  Govei  nment 
knows  of  no  direct  negotiations  between  the 
Czar  and  the  Sultan,  therefore  there  is  no 
ground  for  a  protest.  1  do  not  know  thi  t  Aus- 
tria has  communicated  with  Russia  or  *]  'urkey 
on  the  subject." 

In  the  House  of  Lords  to-night,  th>  Earl 
of  Bcacon.sfleld,  acknowledging  Lord  Fever- 
sham's  courtesy  in  ■withdrawing  his  lotice, 
said  :  "'  When  this  cruel  and  desti  nctive 
war  commenced  her  Majesty's  Goverpment 
announced  that  it  should  adopt  a  policy  of 
strict  neutrality  on  condition  that  British  inter- 
ests were  not  imperiled.  Russia  has  returned 
an  answer  which,  1  think,  I  am  authorised  in' 
.describing  as  conciliatorj'  and  friendly  :o  the 
communication  in  which  wo  c  etined 
What  we  considered  to  be  our  interests  The 
Government  has  iio  reapon  to  doubt  that  Xussia 
will  honorably,  obseive  the  conditions  which 
were  the  subject  of  that  correspondence.  But, 
whatever  be  the  case,  the  maintenance  o;  those 
conditions  is  the  policy  of  the  British  G  ivern- 
ment." 

The  Timfs'  Berlin  dispatch  asserts  thi  t  Tur- 
key recently  notified  the  powers  of  the  I'orre's 
willingness  to  conclude  peace  on  the  g  ?neral 
basis  of  Count  Andrassy's  reform  note,  b  it  the 
correspondent  thinks  this  is  not  lik'  ly  to 
lead  to  any  practical  results  just  now. 
Russia  is  far 'too  strong  and  too  jealous  >f  her 
reputation  to  acquiesce  in  Tiu-kish  propo;  itions 


after  one  or  several  rebuffs.      Austria  an 


many,  on  the  other  hand,  knowing  that  Russia 
is  resolved  on  continuing  the  war.  and.  if 
sary.  going  into  Winter  quarters  in  Bulgj  ria  or 
Roiimania.  hesitate  to  recommend  to  '  *riEce 
Gortschakoff  the  message  of  the  Grand  '^  'izier.

London.  Aug.  10. — The  Standard's  \  ienna 
correspondent  telegraphs  as  follows :  "I  am  in 
position  to  state  that  ut  the  meeting  of  tl  e  Em- 
perors William  and  Francis  Joseph  at  Iscl  el  the 
question  of  Russia  -  extending  the  si  at  of 
war  to  Servia  was  never  touched  upon. 
The  question  is  likely  to  be  dropped  altoj  etner. 
Russian  military  reports  ftrom  Biela  now  unex- 
pectedly declare  that  Servian  co-operatiot  is  un- 
necessary. It  is  supposi-d  that  this  chai  ge  of 
lone  is  due  to  Russia's  having  become  aware 
that  a  request  for  such  co-operation  wouU .  have 
been  refused."

The  Timrs  qcca.sional  Vienna  co»resp<  indent

as  before  the  tiattle  of  Plevna.  She  will  con 
tinue  to  watcli  events  with  the  greatesji 
lance. 

The  Timrs'  occafjional  correspondent  at  Tienna

I'oreign  Office  announces  that  the  Servia  i  Gov 
emmeut  has  taken  all  necessary  steps  to  place 
-10.000  men  on  a  war  footing  before  th  ;  ilOth

ARGUMENTS  TO  BE  BEGUN  ON  MONDAY 
NEXT. 

Saratoga,  N.  T.,  Aug.  9.— In  the  Senate 
this  morning,  in  the  ttial  of  Superintendent  El- 
lis, H.  L.  Lamb,  Deputy  Superintendent,  testi- 
fied as  follows  :  First  saw  the  statement  regard- 
ing the  Thlrd-Avchue  Bank,  testified  to  by 
Smith,  July  25,  1877,  about  the  time  he  was 
subpoenaed  ;  Smitb.  told  witness  he  made  an  ex- 
hibit about  the  time  the  bank  failed  ;  it  was 
never  filed  in  the  department ;  made  memoran- 
da of  his  statement  at  the  time. 

Cross-examined :  It  was  Smith's  duty  to  exam- 
ine the  reports-and  see  if  anything  was  wrong  in 
them,  then  report  to  Ellis. 

Mr.  Warner,  a  clerk  in  the  department,  was 
called,  and  testified  that  his  attention  was  first 
called  to  Smith's  statement  in  this  room,  when 
he  overheard  a  conversation  with  the  clerk  of 
the  Attorney-General ;  Smith  lold  Taylor  to  put 
the  reports  and  examination  in  the  subpcena. 

Sir.  Chapman,  counsel  for  Ellis,  addressed 
the  Senate.  He  said  he  had  considered  the 
question  of  producing  evidence  to  show  the  de- 
preciation in  the  value  of  real  estate  within 
three  or  four  years  post,  but  reflection  showed 
him  that  sufficient  evidence  on  that  point 
had  already  beeu  brought  out. 

A  deba^ ensued  as  to  the  summing  up.  Mr. 
McGuire  said  if  the  e^-idenro  coiild  .ill  bo  printed, 
his  side  would  bo  ready  to  sum  up  on  Monday. 
Senator  Harris  said  the  Senate  was  full  with 
the  exception  of  one  inemhor.  alwent  from  the 
country — Mr.  Wagner — and  another,  who  had 
lieen  present  only  for  a  few  hours  on  the  first 
flay.  He  desired  to  go  on  .ind  close  the  case 
now,  and  thought  the  Senate  as  ready  now  as 
ever  it  would  be  to  go  on  and  close  the  ca.se. 

Senator  Gerard  moTed  that  counsel  for  Ellis 
sum  upon- Friday,- and  counsel  for  the  prose- 
cution on  Saturday. 

Senator  Wuodin  moved  to  adjotim  to  meet  in 
Albany  next  Tuesday. 

Senator  Kennadav  moved  to  substitute  Sara- 
toga for  Albany.  Lost  by  the  casting  vote  of

TIES IN  RELIGION" — SERVICES  IN  MEMORY 
OP  P.  P.  BLISS  TO  BE  HELD  THIS  EVEN- 
ING. 
Paibpojint,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  9. — The  usual 
conference,  normal  cla.sses,  Greek  and  Hebrew 
classes,  anil  other  rcgUl.ir  exercises  of  the  Chau- 
tauqua Assembly  were  held  this  morning.  The 
weather  was  fine  and  the  attendance  increasing. 
At  1 1  o'cl^ick  Jo.sephCook  delivered  a  lecture  on 
"  Certainties  in  Relistion.''  Mr.  Cook  claimed 
that  therejare  three  things  from  which  we  can- 
not escape — our  own. natures,  God.  and  our  rec- 
ord ;  that  these  three  things  constitute  our  un- 
alterable environment  while  we  continue  to  ex- 
ist in  this  world  and  the  next,  .\ccording  to 
Spencer,  whatwcneedraostis harmonization  with 
our  environment.  What  is  scientifically  known, 
therefore,  as  harmonization  with  conscience. 
God.  and  our  record  is  tiie  unalterable  natural 
condition  of  peace  of  th4  soul.  Mr.  Cook  said 
that  the  universality  of  law  is  the  first  truth  of 
science,  and  that  iti  is,  therefore,  established  by 
strict  induction  that  the  soul,  like  everything 
else,  is  niadejon  a  plan  :  that  tiie  plan  of  any 
mechanism  is  to  l>e  ascertainetl  by  finding  out 
how  it  can  bo  operated  as  near  frictionless  as 
possible ;  that  the  f rictionlessness  in  a  full- 
bred  human  nature  is  the  natural  in  human 
nature;  that  continuous  joy  in  all  the 
faculties  is  the  sign  of  the  frictionless  or 
natural  action  oj  the  faculties  :  that  4>nly  when 
reason  and  conscieuce  are  supreme  in  the  re- 
ligious sense  can  a  full-bred  soul  attain  fric- 
tionless action  or  continuous  joy  in  all  the  fac- 
ulties :  that  tbc  religious  is,  therefore,  scien- 
tifically known  t<i  lie  only  tiatural- that  is,  the 
only  frictionless  action  ot  himian  nature  ;  tha« 
lliese  truths  are  known  by  strict  induction,  in- 
depende'nt  of  revelations,  and  that  fnim  the 
nature  of  things  it  rcsultn  that  harmonization 
with  God  in  conscience  can  be  attained  only  by 
the  love  of  what  tiod  loves  and  the  hate  of  what 
God_ hates  ;  that  similarity  of  feeling  with  Gud 
is  scientiticallv  known  to  be  the  unaiteraliie 
natural  condition  of  peace  of  seul  in  this  world 
and  the  next ;  that  for  hamionizalion  with  our 
record  in  an  unchangeable  past,  we  need  more 
than  our  own  reformation  utnl  persoiial  excel- 
lence, and  that  not  only  the  necessity  of  sim- 
ilarity of  feeling  with  <io<l  or  the  new  birth, 
but  the  necessity  of  the  atonement  is  scien- 
tiiically  inferable,  therefore,  from  the  necos.sity 
of  our  hurmunizatiou  with  our  whole  environ-

DANGER  ON  THE  MISSOURI  RIVEB. 
Omaha,  Nob.,  Aug.  9. — The  danger  to  the 
Union  Pacific  Railroad  shops  and  smelting  works 
from  the  river  is  considered  so  imminent  as  to 
excite  grave  apprehensions  in  the  minds  of  the 
community  in  general,  and  a  mass-meeting  has 
been  called  for  to-night  to  take  some  action 
toward  averting  what  would  prove  a  dire  ca-

Augusta,: Me.,  Aug.  9. — The  Republican 
State  Convention  was  promptly  called  to  order 
by  Senator  Blaine  at  11  o'clock  to-day,  and 
Hon.  J.  H.  Dnunmond,  of  Portland,  was  made 
President.  The  forenoon  was  occupied  wholly 
with  the  detiuled  business  of  the  convention, 
and  a  reces^  taken  until  2  o'clock.  The  con- 
vention wasj  a  large  one,  734  delegates  being^ 
present,  and  in  point  of  intelligence  was  far 
above  the  conventions  that  are  usually  held. 
The  present  Governor.  Hon.  Selden  Connor, 
was  renominated  by  acclamation. 

THE  PLATFORM. 

The  resolutions  were  reported  as  soon  as  Gov. 
Connor  was  ,  renominated.  They  arc  as  fol- 
lows :  ' 

^  fiVif— The  TTnited  Stpt<'K  constitute  a  nation,  and 
not  a  mere  coufpilerary.  The  successful  issue  of  tho 
Rpvohitiniiary  War  founded  the  nation.  The  suc- 
cessful issup  i)f  the  war  for  the  suppression  of  re- 
bellion prewervert  it.  Tlie  Union  of  the  .States  as  ono 
nation  must  he  maintained  for  all  lime*  against  all 
foos  at  any  t-cst.

tion  now  sliitldc'd  undertho  lieresy  of  Slatts  rights

r/iirrf— Local  self-^ovemroent  in  all  matters  that

that  in  the  resuniption  of  sp.-cie  payment  the

honest.  straiirhU'orward  manner,  and  that  no  back-

yinth—'Vixe  nnvicration  laws  which  were  enacted  In 
the  infancy  of  the  Hepnldic  have  proved  tlioir  wis- 
dom by  lone  and  varied  evjierience.  They  embody 
the  matured  judinuent  of  three  KfU'-ration-s  of  com- 
mercial men.  Any  r-idJca!  chance  in  these  laws,  es- 
pecially in  reprarl  to  recistr\'  and  enrollment  of 
shipidnz,  would  he  detrimentul  to  the  hijihest  inter- 
ests of  American  commerce,  and  a  damacin^  blow  to 
the  natitmal  independence  of  thi*  countrj'. 

Jieaolretl,  That  we  are  oppospil  to  any  further  land

Ttmth — The  St.ites  of  SotiDi  Carolina.  Florid.^,  and 
Louisiana  were  fairly  and  lesallv  carried  by  the  Re- 
publicans at  the  November  election  in  1  HTci.'for  State 
and  national  ticketa.  and  the  undoubted  riwht  of 
I'residcnt  Hayes  and  Vice-President  Wheeler  to  the 
Electoral  vote  of  those  l^tates  was  affirmed  bv  the 
highest  and  most  impartial  tribunal  that  could  be 
orcanized  under  the  authority  of  the  National  Gov- 
ernment :  a  tribunal  to  which  the  Democrats  in  both 
branches  of  Conp-ess  pave  their  ileliberate  assent. 
For  the  Democratic  Party  now  to  raise  the  cry  of 
fraud  is  lioth  unmanly  and  dishonest,  and  If  persisted 
in  miwt  ho  aeeeptvd  as  an  indication  that  the  party, 
in  its  mud  desire  for  power,  is  williin;  to  incur  all 
hazards  of  anarchy  and  revolution. 

The  remaining  resolutions  relate  especially  to 
State  matters,  and  declare  that  economy,  integ- 
rit>'  and  fidelity  pre-eminently  distinpruish  all 
branches  of  the  ptiblic  senire  in  Maine,  as  is 
evidenced  in  the  steady  decrea.se  in  taxation. 
That  taxation  must  bo  equal  and  im- 
nartial ;  that  non-sectarian  education  must  be  con- 
tinued ;  that  the  cause  of  temperance  must  be 
promoted  by  wise  prohibitory  le^slation.  Tho 
resolutions  close  with  a  cordial  indorsement  of 
Gov.  Connor  as  tho  Gubernatorial  standard- 
bearer. 

GEN.  CHA?IBERLAIN'S  SPEECH. 
Instantly,  upon  the  conclusion  of  the  reading 
of  the  resolutions,  es-Gov.  Chamberlain,  of 
Brunswick,  took  the  floor  and  presented  a  reso- 
lution indorsing  squarely  tho  policy  of  Presi- 
dent Hayes,  and  supported  his  resolution  in 
a  10  minutes'  speech.    He  .said : 

Mr.  President  :  I  offer  this  resolution  be- 
cause, speaking  for  myself  and  those  Republi- 
cans who  sent  me  here  to  act  for  them,  I  am 
unwilling  to  see  the  State  Republican  Conven- 
tion of  Maine  adjourn  without  expressing 
a  cordial  support  of  the  National  Administra- 
tion which  represents  the  head  of  the  party.  I 
am  surpri-sed  that  no  such  resolution  was  of- 
fered by  the  committee.  When  ever  did  a  State 
convention  fail  to  declare  its  support  of  its 
own  chosen  agents  and  champions,  and  of  all 
times  this  is  surely  one  when  true  allegiance 
and  manly  service  should  be  rendered — now, 
when  the  issues  of  the  last  16  years 
are  drawn  to  the  sharp  crisis.  A 
year  ago  in  -  the  national  platform  we 
reaffirmed  with  care  and  completeness  the  prin- 
ciples which  were  our  common  bond,  the  end 
we  sought,  and  the  measures  by  which  they 
were  to  be  achieved.  If  anything  could  be  a 
more  bold  and  forcible  presentation  of  them 
it  was  found  in  Sir.  Hayes^  letter  of  acceptance. 
If  fturther  light  or  deiaonstration  were  needed, 
it  was  given  in  the  courageotis,  statesmanlike, 

■  and  noble  utterances  of  the  President's  inaugu- 
ral, and  if  any  were  still  in  darkness  the  open- 
ing acts  of  the  President's  administration  put  at 
rest  forever  all  doubt  of  his  sincerity,  flrznness, 
and  devotion  to  Republican  principles.  The 
President  has  upon  him  a  great.and  solemn  re- 
sponsihili^.  We  have  called  him  to  a 
task  more  difficult  in  many  respects  than 
to   carry   through   a   war,   because    to   settle 

^a  disturbed  state  of  thiiij^a  in  time  o£.jQeace  hx 


constitutional  and  legal  measures  is  a  far  more 
diflicult  matter  than  to  push  forward 
a  war  when  the  warmest  sympathies 
are  aroused,  and  when  men  and  meas- 
ures and  motives  are  not  so  sharply 
scrutinized.  We  ask  the  President  to  secure 
for  the  countrj'  the  great  boon  for  which  we 
have  fought  and  toiled  so  lone.  We.ask  him  to 
consummate  a  political,  nnancial.  and  in- 
dustrial reconstruction  when  all  the  old 
"sTstems    have    been    overthrown    from   the 


foundations.       We      tusk      liim.      from      the   eighteenth  eonseflutive  year  ^s  the  Chairman  of

service  policy  of  the  President,  and  <2iif  .jiJttl- 
ment  seemed  to  be  the  jtrpngest 
in  those  sections  of  the  StaM  which 
are  the  Repuolican  stronghold-s ;  and 
its  action  was  also  an  unqualifleti 
indorstaient  of  .Senator  Blaine.  In  the^imber- 
land  County  delegation  Gen.  Chamberlain  wa.>! 
defeated  as  a  member  of  the  Committee  on 
Resolutions.  Senator  Blaine  was  foe  the  nine- 
teenth consecutive  year  placed  upon  ihe  State 
Committee.      He  ,ia     now     serving^  for   the 


disorder  and  disorganization  that  have  followed 
the  terrific  crash  of  forces  ip  the  internal  con- 
flict, to  give  us  hack  a  whole '  countrj'.  That  Ls 
what  we  want,  what  we  fought  for  and  are  still 
fighting  for ;  and  now,  when  the  crLsls  has  come, 
when  the  hopes  and  pledges  so  long  held  are 
being  honestly  and  vigorously  realiiod,  .shall 
we  ba.sely  desert  the  Executive,  on  whom  /our 
own  choice)  has  devolved  the  difficult  task  '. 
Have  friends  grown  so  timid  or  loyalty  so  luke- 
warm that  we  shall  be  asked  to  let  the  Presi- 
dent alone,  or.  at  the  most,  to  give  him 
a  fair  trial  !  What  has  the  President 
done  to  make  him  a  leper  to  be 
let  alone  or  a  culprit  to  be  put  on  trial  ?  What 
change  has. come  over  the  spirit  of  our  dream 
since  we  a  year  ago  in  this  convention  affirmed 
our  confidence  in  our  principles  and  in  our  can- 
didate in  resolutions  much  stronger  than  this  I 
now  venture  to  offer  ?  Is  sincerity  so  new  to  us 
that  we  are  surprised  and  shocked  when  one 
takes  us  at  our  word.  Is  it  the  President's  crime 
that  he  thought  we  were  honest  in  our  resolu- 
tions and  promises.  Have  a  care,  gentlemen, 
lest  the  people  think  it  is  we  who  are  on  trial  and 
not  the  President.  If  lie  is  carrjing  out  fairly 
and  squarely  the  principles  announced  in  onr 
platform,  year  after  year,  is  it  not  in  fret  and 
in  earnest  the  partythat  is  on  trial  ;  ifo*i  the 
measiires  we  propose  for  the  well-beiny  of  the 
country,  are  they  not  on  trial  t  If  we 
believe  in  them,  whv  not  stand  by  thciti  ?  Wlmt 
is  the  meaning  of  afl  tliis  ?  Where  is  the  folly  i 
Who  strikes  the  resohxtion  out  of  men's  hearts 
and  the  consistency  out  of  their  character ! 
Shall  we  be  told  tO-  wait  and  see 
whether  the  Pro.sident  ^Hucceeds  or  not 
before  we  sustain  hiifi !  When  ^  our 
flag  is  beint-  borne  forward  f«  the  very  edge  of 
victorj',  shall  we  stay  back  in  the  rear  to  await 
the  re'sult  before  we  ^re  say  whether  it  is  our 
flag  or  not !  Are  you  going  to  put  Maim; 
in  the  rear !  That  is  not  where  I 
have  been  accustomed  to  see  her. 
Jlr.  President,  th.it  is  where,  depend  upon 
it,  she  will  not  stay  if  you  put  her  there.  So, 
Sir.  the  President  is  goins  to  be  su.stained  by 
the  country,  and  I  am  confident  that  the  Kepub- 
lican  Party  in  Maine  will  sustain  him. 
Let  our  re.'^olutions,  then,  sgree  with  our 
principles.  Let  them  nt  least  speiik  our  mean- 
ing. If  we  are  honest,  if  we  nre  wise,  we  shall 
stand  by  the  President.  If  the  Admini.stratiou 
docs  not  represent  the  Itcpublican  Party, 
we  have  no  Iiatitmal  i)arty.  If  this 
Convention  does  not  endorse  the  Administra- 
tion, we  cannot  clhim  to  belong  to  the  Kepub- 
lican  Party  of  the  country.  But  let  us  no 
longer  use  words  in  mockery.  If  wu  mean 
to  recognize  ;  the  President  as  he  is. 
the  exponent  of  our  principles  and  the 
head  of  our  partj-.  why  hesitaTe  Ut 
say  so  in  the  language  of  men  ;  and  1  will  say 
al.^o,  if  we  mean  otbonvise,  if  it  is  an  honest 
conviction  that  the  PrcsiTTent  deserves  censure 
and  desertion,  let  us  have  the  manliKOss  to  say 
so  frankly  and  firmly  ;  we  owe  it  to  the  pany 
and  we  owe  it  to  the  coujitrj-. 

3Ir.  Presitlent.  the  resolution  I  have  offered 
is  simple  and  clear ;  it  is  more  moderate  tlian  I 
would  like,  but  it  is  such  as  evor\'  Kepu'Dlican 
ought  to  accept.  I  know  not  what  otliur  gen- 
tlemen would  think  it  wise  and  prudent  to  say 
here,  hut  for  one.  so  far  frr»ra  waitinc  to  see 
how  the  President  will  come  out  in  his  efforts  to 
pacify  the  countrj-  and  purifv  the  Ber\-ice.  I  am 
\\iththe  Presiiient  now  and  here.  I  am  for  his 
jiolicy.  His  and  ours  is  the  only  one  thai 
can  save  the  party  and  complete  it-s 
noble  record,  and  triumphantly  elc*:t  the  true 
man  we  nominate  to-<lay — tlie  onlj*  policj-  that 
can  restorf-  peace  and  business  prosperity  antl 
faith  between  man  and  nmn  to  the  whole  coun- 
trj-. I  am  for  this  policy  for  .-^till  a'nolher  rea- 
son, because  il  is  right. 

No  sooner  had  (ien.  Chamberlain  closed  than 
Capt.  Boutelle.  editor  of  the  Bangor  H7i(<;.  took 
the  floor  and  offered  a  substitute,  declaring  that 
Mes.srs.  Chamberlain  and  Packard  weie  legally 
elected  Governors  of  ."^outh  Carolina  and  Louisi- 
ana, and  denouncing  President  Hayes  for  not  re- 
cognizing them.  The  convention  at  this  moment 
presented  a  wild  scene.  The  applause  which 
greeted  Gov.  Chainberlain's  resolution  was  loui^ 
and  long,  hut  when  Capt.  Boutelle  closed  his 
remarks  by  reading  his  resolution  tho  applause 
was  perfect^  deafening. 

MR.     BLAISE'S    SPEECH. 

Senator  Blaine  then  took  the  platform,  and 
before  he  couhl  .speak  received  a  perfect  ovation. 
While  he  counseled  ik'.ico  and  hannony  and 
forcibly  urge<l  that  both  resolutions  should  lie 
upo:i  the  table,  he  clearly  announced  his  <lis- 
approval  of  Jlr.  Hayes'  ISoutheru  policy.  He 
said : 

Mr.  Pbesipent;  I  do  not  rise  to  speak  for  an 
indorsement  tif  the  Administration  or  against ; 
for  the  Southern  policj*  or  in  oi)positioii  to  it, 
hut  I  beg  to  saj-  an  earnest  word  for  the  liarniony 
and  success  of  the  Kepublican  Pc.rty  in  Maine. 
[Loud  applause.]  Tlu^  resolution  ofTered  by  my 
excellent  friend,  the  Pre.«ident  of  Bowdoiu.  and 
the  substitute  moved  bj*  my  friend  of  the  Ban- 
gor H'hig,  show  plai'nly  the  difference  that 
exists  in  the  ranks  of  ,  the  llepub- 
lican  Partj'.  This  difference  existing,  what 
shall  lie  done  about  it  1  Shall  onenian  be  com- 
pelled to  swallow  the  opinions  of  the  others  f 
Shall  not  each  have  the  libertv  to  cherish 
his  own  i  Mr.  Lincoln  used  to  s,ij-  about  tlie 
matters  of  administration  that  he  was  often 
compelled  to  do  as  the  old  farmer  in 
Illinois,  who,  when  he  could  not  grub 
the  .stump  or  burn  it.  just  quietly  plowed 
around  it.  I  am  opposed  to  both  these 
resolutions,  and'  I  believe  I  represent  the 
wishes  of  a  vast  majority  of  this 
large  convention  when  1  move  to  laj- 
them  both  on  the  table,  and  then 
have  a  direct  vot«  ou  the  resolutions 
reported  from  the  committee.  I  am  known  by 
perhaps  every  member  of  this  convention  to  en- 
tertain very  decided  vit^ws  on  the  Southern  (pies- 
tion,  but  I  ana  just  as  ready  to  vote  against 
a  resolution  condenming  the  President's  policy 
as  I  am  to  vote  against  one  approving  it.  ^\  e  can- 
not take  action  either  way  without  ofl'ending  good 
men.  and  creating  needless  hearl-biii'nings  and 
dissensions.  We  can  all  unite  on  a  strong  plat- 
form, embracing  the  issues  which  we  hold  in 
common.  We  can  all  rally  as  one  man  to  the' 
support  of  Gov.  Connor.  Wo  can  be 
tolerant  of  each  other's  opinions. 
We  can  all  remember  and  adopt  the  old  theo- 
logical maxim,  which  teaches,  "  Iti  essentials 
there  should  be  unity :  in  non-es.«entials 
liberty ;  in  all  things  cilaritj*."  [Ureat  and 
prolonged  applause.]  The  arguments  urged  for 
the  adoption  of  s  resolution  approving  the 
Southern  policj*  do  not  seem  to  be  convin- 
cing. On  the  other  hand,  we  are  told  that  it 
is  past  recall,  utterly  irrevocable,  and  do  as  we 
may,  it  is  fixed  beyond  the  power  to  reverse. 
Then  why  bring  it  hither  and  demand  our 
opinion  on  it  as  though  it  were  a 
matter  of  practical  administration  (  On 
the  other  hand,  we  are  told  that  the  policy 
is  an  experiment.  "  The  experiment  will  cer- 
tainly be  tried,  regardless  of  anything  we  maj* 
say  here  to-day  for  it  or  against  it.  Let  us  then 
leave  it  alone.  Let  us  make  a  proclamation 
of  our  faith  in  the  Kepublican  princi- 
ples and  show  a  solid  front  against  our 
ancient  foe,  the  Democratic  Party.  To  force 
either  of  the  pending  resolutions  upon  the  con- 
vention is  to  bring  hither  a  sword.  I  beg  the 
convention  to  hearken  to  me  while  I  speak  in 
the  interest  of  peace,  and  to  sustain  me  in  the 
motion,  which  I  now  formally  submit,  that  both 
resolutions  lie  upon  the  table. 

As  Mr.  Blaine  closed,  it  was  perfectly  evident 
that  he  had  the  convention  very  largely  with 
him.  Mr.  (^Hiamberlain'B  resolution  was  further 
urged  by  Hon.  V.  A.  Farwell  and  Gov.  A.  P. 
Morrill,  and  the  position  of  Senator  Blaine 
was  sustained  by  Hon.  D.  P.  Davis  and 
others.  Both  resolutions  were  laid  upon 
the  table  by  a  rising  vote  of  4  to  I, 
and  the  resolutions,  as  reported  by  the  commit- 
tee, were  adopted.  These  resolutions  caniiot 
but  be  regarded  as  a  condemnation  of  President 
Hayes'  policy,  for  they  distinctly  admit  that  the 
States  of  South  Carolina,  Florida,  and  Lotiisiana 
were  carried  by  the  Republicans  at  both  the  State 
and  national  elections  in  NoTember,  1876.  It 
cannot  be  denied  that  the  convention  was 
strougl}-  ox>sosed  to  both  Ihe  Southezn  and  civil 


the  committee,  and  he  has  never  led  his  partj- 
to  defeat  It  is  understood  ihat  the  resolutions 
adopted  were  the  embodiment  of  .his  views.

Richmond,  Va.,  Aug.  i  9.— The  State 
CVmseri-ative  Convention  reas.sembled  at  9  A. 
M.  to-day.  A  number  of  resolutions  were  intro- 
duced relative  to  the  public  tlebt,  all  of  which 
were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Resolutions. 
A  majority  of  the  resolutipns  favored  the  pay- 
ment of  the  puhlic  debt,  but  every,  proposition 
looking  to  increased  taxation  was  received  with 
hisses  from  all  parts  of  tho  house.  A 
rt-solntion  complimentinc  President  Hayes 
for  his  wise  and  conservative  course  to- 
ward the  South  was  offered.  A  delegate 
asked  if  it  was  in  order  to  move  to  lay  the  re.so- 
lution  on  the  table,  bat  the  Cliair. decided  that 
ijnder  the  rules  it  went  to  |the  Committee  on 
Rcsolutioms.'  A  resolutioi^  declaring  that 
the  public  school  sy.stem  was  bur- 
densome, and  should  lie  abolLshed, 
was  greeted  with  hisses.  A  resolu- 
tion declaring  that  the  convention  should  pro- 
ceed at  (.n^'o  to  nominate  a  candidate  for  Gov- 
ernor elicited  a  warm  discussion  between 
members  ■who  were  for  immediate  ac- 
tion and  those  who  favored  the  adoption 
of  a  platform  which  should  embrace  the 
question  of  the  -public  debt.  The  members 
who  opposed  an  immediat«  nomination  were 
friends  of  Gen.  Mahone,  who  is  recognized  as 
the  repudiation  candidate,  and  they  are  deter- 
mined that,  if  they  can  prevent  it.no  nomination 
shall  be  made  until  a  pUjtform  iS' adopted, 
so  that  if  it  is  not  acceptable ,  to  them  they  can 
bolt  and  run  their  candidate  las  an  independent. 
The  report  of  the  Committlso  on  Credentials 
was  then  made.  It  seatp  and  unseats  a 
number  of  delegates,  and  ,  the  debate  over 
the  .  rejwrt  was  <iuit6  spirited.  It  wa.s 
finally  adopte<l  without  amendment,  being  a 
triumph  for  the  auti-Mahoneltes.    A  n».solution 

Vas  adopted  limiting  all  si>ceches  to  five  min- 
utes, except  in  »'a.ses  of  uomiiuitin£r  speeches, 
which  were  allowed  ilO  minutes;  The  dLscu:;- 
siou  of  the  iiuesiion  of  making  immedi-ste  nom. 
inatioTis  was  resumed,  and  after  a  number  of 
speeches  file  pending  iiuestion  was  ordered  and 
scakil.  The  vote  resulted  in  :.the  de- 
feat of  the  Maboneite.s,  the  proposi- 
tinn  to  adopt  a  platform  before  litaking 
iKiniinations  lieing  rejt:cted  bj*  aye:k  51il  o-h  :

tt'rious  -Kichmond  ward  poUticiau  voted 
for  that  county,  and  Iwhen  ■  questioneil

e.viH'l  the  offender  from  the  building,  which 
was  laid  on  tho  table.!  In  the  course 
of  a  personal  explanation  hy  John  S.  Wise, 
of  Kichmond,  on  this  subject,  he  said  he  knew 
tue  offender,  James  McCleriuin,  to  be  as  notori- 
ous a  ',•  rough."  "  shoulder-hitter,"  and  ballot- 
box  stuffrra-s  Kichmond.conta'iUeU.  The  original 
r»-si.luticm  to  nominate  a*  candi.iate  for  Govoruor 
a;  ouce.  then,  came  up.  The  vote  resulted  as 
folI.i-A-s— ayes  1.017  ;  nays  ;-124,  After  which 
the  conveiition  adjourned  till  4  P.  M.  ^ 

Immediately  upon  reas-senibling  the  Chair  an- 
nounced that  nominations  for  Governor  were  in 
order.  Hon.  John  W..  Daniel,  of  Ljnchburg, 
was  nominated  bj-  Col.  John  IE.  Penn.  of  Patrick 
Countv.  jn  a  pointed  speech  of  five  minutes. 
Judge' John  F.  Lay,  of  Kichmond,  followi-d, 
nominating  Hon.  P.  W.  M.  Halliday,  of  Win- 
chester, in  a  forcible  and  telling  speech,  which 
was  interrupted  l>y  frequent  bursts  .of  ap- 
plause. Uen.  William  Pajne,  of  Fauquier 
County,  occupied  the  full  time  in  presenting  the 
claims'  and  advocating  the  nomination  of  Gen. 
Fitzhugh  Lee.  John  S.  Wise,  of  Richmond, 
nominated  (jen.  William  Malone.  In  the  course 
of  his  spedch  he  denied  th^t  he  representeil  a 
repuiliation  candidate.  His  platfonh  was 
retrenchment,  economy,  and  reform  and  no  in- 
crease of  taxation  ;  and  such  [was  the  platform  of 
tten.  3Iahone,  who  was  as  far  from  being  a 
Kcpudiationiet  as  any  man 'in  the  Common- 
wealth. Dr.  Sewell.  of  Gloucester,  next  nomi- 
nated Gen.  M'.  B.  'faliafered.  after  which  the 
convention  took  a  recess  uiitil  S  o'clock. 

The  convention  reassembled  at  .*s  o'clock. 
Several  speeches  were  made  seconding  the  nom- 
ination of  v.'unous  candidates.  Mr.  Holbrook, 
of  Wvthe  t'ountv,  nominated  Gen.  William 
Terrv." 

The  Committee  on  Be.solutionS  was  In  session 
all  daj-,  but  no  conclusion  was  arrivf^i  at.  The 
various  conflicting  opinion  on  the  question  of 
public  debt  are  hard  to  harmonize.  The  committee 
occupied  all  day  in  determining  whether  a 
platform  with  a  plankj  concerning  the 
State  debt  should  •  be  \  adopted  or  not. 
It  is  thought  that  tljey  will  recommend 
in  their  report  the  payment  of  interest  on  the 
public  debt,  and  refer  tho  matter  to  tho  Legis- 
lature for  adjustment. 

Speeches  seconding  the  nomination  of  various 
candidates  consumed  the  time  of  the  convention 
until  10  P.  M.,  when  ballotjing  commenced,  re- 
sulting as  follows  :

CoLniBCS,  Oliio,  Aug.  9. — Circulars  have 
been  issued  in  this  city  calling  a  meeting  of 
working  men  for  next  Saturday  to  nominate  a 
full  county  ticket,  including  two  members  of 
the  Legislature.  It  is  proposed  to  discuss  the 
proprietj-  of  co-operating  with  working  men 
throughout  Ohio  as  to  the  State  Convention  to 
nominate  candidates  from  Governor  down.  The 
opiiiiou  prevails  in  some  quarters  that  the  move- 
ment, so  far  as  it  relates  to  this  county,  is  In  the 
interest  of  a  local  labor  reformer  who  is  alreadj- 
a  candidate  for  a  county  office.

Boston,  Aug.  9. — The  reunion  of  Fns* 
.sellers  to-day  at  Downer's  Landing,  a  rural  re. 
treat  some  10  miles  down  the  harbor,  was  not 
so  important  or  significant  a  gathering  as'the 
preliminary  notices  of  the  event  had  led  the  pub- 
lie  to  expect-  Owing  perhaps  to  f  h«  unfavorable 
weather— for  it  has  rained  hero  at  intervals 
since  daylight — or  to  some  other  causa,  the 
attendance  was  little  more  than  half  what  was 
anticipated,  and  the  absent^jes  included  «tme  ol 
the  most  notable  of  those  to  whom  invitations 
had  been  extended,  and  whose  presence  would 
have  added  materially  to  the  interest  of  the  oo- 
ca-sion.  Wendell  I'iiillips,  for  example,  neither 
came  to  the  feast  nor  sent  his  regret.s.  The

There  appears  to  have  liceu  some  misappre- 
hension here,  as  elsewhere,  as  to  tho  occa.sion 
and  object  of  a  reunion  of  the  Froe-wiileTs  o^ 
lS4Sjust  at  this  time.  On  my  way  dow-n  la 
>he  landing  this  morning.  I  encoontered  on. 
board  the  steamer  a  portlj-looking  gentleman, 
whohadtheappearanceof  l<eingoneof  the  solid 
men  of  Bc-iton,  and  taking  it  for  granted 
that  he  must  be  goinz  to  thereunion,  I  ventured 
to  a.sk  him  what  was  the  object  of  the  gathering  • 
of  Free-soilerf  there  to-day.  He  replied  that  ha 
had  no  personal  knowledge  regarding  it ;  that 
he  was  going  to  Hingham,  where  he  reside<l, 
but  said  he,  "  It  is  easy  to  see  what  it  is  for. 
It  is  an  initiatory  step  toward  tho 
formation  of  a  n.w  "  party.  Thei-e  are 
a  great  many  men  in  both  parties  who  think  it  ■ 
is  about  time  to  come  to  some  agreement  on, 
something  and  to  act  togetlier.  and  as  there  ap- 
pears to  he  no  verj'  well  defined  issues  bctweiaa 
the-old  parties  just  now,  tltey  tliiuk  it  a  good 
time  to  start  a  new  one."  "'  Do  j-ou  think  the 
prospect  good  for  a  new  parly  1"  1  askeiL 
"No;  I  ha%-6  no  faitU  in  it  myself.  The 
Democrats  will  never  give  up  their  party  name. 
A  few  leaders  might  be  willing  to,  b\rt  tho 
masses  won't.  They  would  have  nothing  left. 
All  their  .strength  lies  iu  thi'ir  name.  They 
haven't  had  any  principles  for  IG  years,  Init  tho 
name  of  Democrat  takes  with  the  ignonant  and 
especially  -with  the  f.  .r  -iBn-born  citizens,  who-^j 
votes  give  them  most  of  their  strength  at  th,* 
North,  and  they  are  not  going  to  part  with  it."

it  is  Adams,  and  I  imagine  ho  is  the  cet'er-up 
of  this  reunion.  He  must  bo  sick  of  the  De- 
mocracy by  this  time,  and  tirc-d  of  the  riile  he 
has  been  plaj-ing  since  the  iiloction  of  chief 
mourner  to  Sam  Tilden." 

The  above  conversation  shows  tho  prevailing 
impression  with  regard  to  the  object  of  the  Free- 
soil  gathering  among  those  who  were  not  in- 
vited ;  b-jt,  however  level-headed  my  IBngham 
friend  may  be  on  the  subject  of  the  Democratic 
Party,  he  was  certainly  entirely  in  the-WTOug  in 
his  surmises  as  to  the  object  of  tha 
reunion  at  Downer's  Landing.  It  had  not,  and 
was  not  intended  to  have,  en\-  political  signifi- 
cance whatever,  or  anj-  reference  to  current 
politics  or  existing  parties.  It  was  siinplj-  -i 
social  gathering  of  old  friends  who  fought  the 
Free-soil  battles  'M  years  ago.  when, 
as  they  say,  political  contents  required 
more  courage  '  Than  thej-  do  nov.-.  It 
was  gotten  tip  by  Mr.  Samuel  Downer,  a  petro- 
leum millionaire,  who  was  an  active  Free-soiUr 
in  his  day.  and  who  conceived  the  idea  of  briug- 
inc  about  a  reunion  of  his  old  fri»;nd3  and  c<'m- 
rades  at  his  elegant  country  retreat  at  Downer's 
Landing.  Ho  has  spent  larsre  sums  of  money 
in  beautifj-iug  tlie  place  iinnie<l  after  him, 
laying  out  an  extensive  ganleu  and  erecting 
numerous  buildings  fr.c  tiro  amusement  and  en- 
tertainment of  visitors,  and  he  n.-iturariy  wished 
to  gather  around  him  his  old  Free-soil  friends,, 
■who  helped  him  fight  the  Lord's  battles  :ll» 
years  ago,  and  let  them  witness  the  pro.sperity 
of  the  righteous.  The  reunion  had  ju.st  this 
significance  and  no  more.  ■ 

Nearly  all  the  persons  in-vited  ■wpre  Massa- 
chusetts men,  and  friends  of  y\x.  JJowner. 
The  larger  portion  were  from  Lynn,  Salem,  and 
Worcester.  Only  thr>«  wore. present  outside  of 
Slassachusetts — George  B.  Fogg  and  -■Vmos 
Tuck,  of  New-Hamoshire,  and  John  Wins- 
low,  of  New-York.  Not  ^  the  *,lighl- 
est  allusion  was  mathe  '  bj-  any  of 
the  speakers  to  current  poEtic?,  of  either 
rarties,  but  the  talk  was  reminiscences 
of  the  Free-soil  movement  of  ,1 S4IS.  and  tho 
men  engaged  in  it»  .illusions  to'  the  present,  it; 
was  intimated,  were  more  cai^efully  avoided 
than  they  "would  hare  l>een  b  ad  not  f.'harl.^.s 
Francis  Adams  occupied  the  chair.  It  was 
feared  that  his  corns  might"  ba  truilden  on.  and 
as  there  were  onlj'  three  outjof  the  IIKI  Fne- 
soilers  present  who  now  stand  with  him, 
in  the  Democratic  ranks,  it  ■was  thought  best  to^ 
ignore  current  politics  enrire'.j-.  The  speechL-.s! 
and  reminiscences  were  exc.^e  iinfflj'  dull  totktise^ 
who  irere  not  pHrticijtat^jRi  in  the  events  re- 
counted, but  Ml-.  Adams  did  succeed  in  addini^ 
a  new  item  :.i  the  political liistorv  of  the  conn-' 
trj-  in  the  shape  of  a  confidential  letter  KTitteu 
to' him  bv  Martin  Van  Bunen-on  the.  eve  of  tha 
Bufr.ilo  Free-soil  Convention  of  1S48. 

The  guests  arrived  at  Downer's  Landing  in 
s^'attering  squads  bj'  hourlj*  boats  from  Boston, 
the  last  squad  not  reaching  there  till  13  P.  M. 
Thev  were  received  by  Mr.  Downer,  and  escorted 
to  the  clam-bake  pavilion  in  his  garden  by  a 
band  of  music,  playing  "SAuld  Lang  Sj-ne" 
Those  who  arrived  earlier  spent  the  tiiue  in 
inspecting  the  beautiful  grounds  and  buildAi;^s. 
talking  over  old  times,  and  sin^nng  the  "  Battle 
Hymn  of  Freedom,"  which  they  said  wassifag 
with  great  effect  by  the  Hutchinson 
family  at  the  Buffalo .'  Con^vention  '2i* 
years  ago  to-day.  About,  2::}<)  P.  M.  the 
party,  numbering  about  •  100,  sat  down 
to  a  feast  of  clams,  cooked  in  vsirious  styles, 
with  sundry  incidentals.  Amon;;  those  present

ADDRESS  OF  WELCOME  BY  SAMUEL 
DOWNEB. 

IMt  Fkienm  and  Fkllow-Feeb-soilkbs  of 
1848  :  I  bid  yoa.  a  most  heartfelt  and  fervent  wel- 
come. I  feel,  as  I  also  believe  you  feel,  that  tiiose  of 
lus  who,  either  as  memban  at  the  pximary  saeet- 
ings,  as  del^egates  to  the  Btftfalo  Conrentiozi, 
or  who  early  aected  with  the  party,  and 
who  remaned  faithful  to  the  movement  nn- 
tH  1850,  need  no  other  bond  to  make 
nff  welcome  at  this  meeting,  tbim  to  know  we  were 
of  thom.  [Applanae.]  "Wlfh  your  permission,  I 
wish  to  make  a  few  pfelbniaaTy  remarlcs,  andwia 
th^n  yield  the  chair  to  one  whom  it  wiH 
rive  yoa  more  plcasnre  to  listen  to  than 
10  me.  And  nere,  Irt  me  observe, 
this  .company  wj»  invited  to  meet,  with 
the  sole  object  of  indnlging  in  pleasant  remtttiscenees 
of  the  past,  for  I  know  when  Free-aoilen  moA,  29 
years  after  the  formation  of  the  i>arty  at  Buffalo, 
when  we  recollect  how  fervent  and  tinited  we  were, 
it  cannot  be  other  th*n  cheerful  and  happy.  It  is 
intended  to  b©  infonna],  and  we  anticipate  llatening 
to  those  who.  2Q  years  ap;o,  stirred  up  the  ffres  of 
freedom,  when  it  refjnired  some  courage  and  back- 
bone to  do  !«o.  To-day  we  are  met  to  congratulate 
ourselves  that  are  living,  again  clasp  each  other's 
hands  in  kindly  recollecuou  of  those  days  ;  and  to- 
day we  arc  met  to  call  up  our  tender  sympathies  in 
nifmnr>'.ot  tlm  departed  (freat,  who,  if  brGod's  provl- 
pence  it  is  ptrmitted  ihem  to  look  down  upon  us,  we 
know  are  with  ns  here  in  sympathy  idso;  [Applause.] 
A  few  months  ago,  when  our  country  wa«  in 
fonr  an<i  alarm,  growlntt  out  of  the  uncertainty 
of  the  PpeaidentiaJf  election,  I  happened  into  the 
officrt  of  Mr.  Eilward  L.  Pierce,  the  blosrapher  of  our 
lamented  Sumner.  (Applaose.)  I  said  to  him,  as 
I  meet  OUT  old  Free-soilers  In  the  street  thotr  patrlot- 
iirm  is  as  fervent  as  ever,  bin  they  hold  idl  nnds  of 
Dplnionfi.  and  I  wish  we  could  meet  again 
and  light  np  those  old  fires  to  cheer  and 
comfort  us.  He  ftaid  It  wajl  aa  esceUeat  ide*.  I 
aftprwnrd  spoke  of  it  to  my  friend  Frank  W.  Bird. 
The  result  was  this  meettnie.  (Applause].  And  now, 
when  I  look  upon  these  nptoraed  faces  glowing  with 
Xhf  spirit  of  1S48,  desiring  so-w  aa  then  to  know 
wher*'  true  patriotism  is  pointing  and 
to  follow;  when  I  feel  we  shall  heur  voices  teHing 
us  what  they  think,  and  warming  us  with 
the  old  fi-;es,  I  cannot  help  sayinz  lam  a  pretty 
cute  YanKoe  to  have  made  for  myself  the  privilege  of 
opening  thia  meeting.  [Lauchter.]  But,  g«ntl«neu. 
though  I  hold  the  position,  duu't  bo  alarmed.  I  will 
not  keCTi  it  lonff.  I  know  niyself  too  well  for  that ; 
and  besides,  I  have  anothor  cinise  for  self -elation. 
When  1  wrote  the  resolutiona  at  the  primary  meet- 
ine  in  oh\  Dorchester,  which  wss  to  choose  delegates 
to  the  BnfTato  crmvcntlon,  I  tried  my  haad  at  proph- 
ecy. 1  mnst  read  one  to  show  whether  I  was  a  good 
prophet  or  not. 

RfantrM,  That  we  retnm  out  heartfelt  thank*  to  tboae 
true  patriots,  Jadji^  Charity  Allen  and  Hon.  Hvary  WU- 
p-^n.  and  iht««»  of  th«*  Ohio  and  Indiana  deletratlfins  to 
I  he  late  convention  at  Philndflphla  who.  when  frfedom's 
voi.-ft  W.-W  drowD<xi  and  her  .spirit  orushed:  who,  when 
po  many  were  silent,  or  worse  th.w  silent,  raaolutely 
P]ramed  thf  bribe.  "We  b«-ll<'Te  the  timt>  wilt  come  when 
'both  at  thiy  North  and  at  th«>  5^nth.  at  tb«  East  and  at  tho 
WfHt.  their  names  will  b*»  honored  nnd  rum«inbe(nsl  ; 
■when  tbo.«^  whr>  now  censuro  artd  revllo  them  will  have 
sunk  into  obUxiou. 

My  friend*.  I  want  to  recall  reminiRC«nees  of  two 
who  were  of  note  in  tliose  times.  1  do  It  as  an  ex- 
RTOple  to  others  to  do  likewise.  As  I  ttand  now,  I 
see  plainly,  as  if  a  reality.  IHnlel  Webster.  He  was 
the  iro<l  of  my  p*>Htic«l  idolatr>-.  Ah  !  bowfervently 
have  i  listened  to  his  grand  constitutional  .irguments  ! 
how  I  have  brtmcd  at  the  words  of  £re«dom  he 
spoke  for  man  !  AVlien  our  Prt«-soil  Party  was  first 
started,  we  thought  he  was  whh  ns.  There  are  those 
of  ns  who  know  when  the  late  lamented  Stephen  C. 
Phillips  penned  the  opening  address  to  be  de- 
livered at  Fenenil  Ilall,  that  Webster  re- 
viced  it  and  interlined  what  b«  thoo^t  was 
more  appropriate.  Alas !  alas :  thev  were  his  last 
e3^orts  for  nnnian  free<Iom.  We  know  that  that 
eveniug  he  '^ent  to  NeW^Vork,  instead  of  coming 
dr.wn  to  Faneail  Hall,  We  know  how  his  friends  at 
BuiTalo  sought  his  tiomination  to  the  Presidency,  not 
on  new  pledge!",  but  from  his  known  past  recordf; 
artcT  the  Louiiuatiou  of  Van  Boreu  and  Adiuns,  bo^^ 
bitter  he  was  to^ns.  to  Vai\Burett,  and  to  Taylor. 
^^  •*  know  it  qll  culminated  in  Ws  7th  of  Maisfc 
speech  of  IM'tO,  and  we  know  the  South,  which  he 
eouricd  sopliartl,  begrudgeti  bim  even  ftpoor  compli- 
Biontarj*  vote.  My  frtonds.  ff  Daniel  Webster  erred 
sgninst  tho  record  of  hij»  life  nnd  the  convictlona  of 
hl-s  conscience,  grievously  did  ho  juiy  the  "penalty. 
r^i  ns  draw  a  veU  over  that  portion  of 
his  life.  Ob!  that  be  bad  died  a  few 
Venn  sooner  or  had  lived  a  few  years 
loTi^er.  The  first  gnn  of  5*nmter  would  have  set 
him  right.  He  was  my  teacher,  and  from  him  I 
earned  the  principles  of  constitutional  liberty. 
Pexce  to  his  n.-shes.  , 

I  have  but  one  other  name  to  mention,  and-then  I 
will  clope — Horace  Mson.  {Applause.)  It  w«»-4ny 
happy  lor  to  know  him  intimately  ;  most  intimately. 
He  was  the  mo^t  self-sar-rifinni;  man  I  ever  knew. 
Forty  years  ago.  I  re.'^ided  in  tho  same  bouse 
witJi  him,  and  our  roonw  were  adjoining.  It  was  at 
the  f'omnencement  of  his  eduentionat  movement. 
How  well  I  remember  hi»  intense  laboia,  extending 
into  the  early  hours  of  the  morning,  and  the  vast  cor- 
rr*ponden'-e  ho  maintaineil.  Tlil^j be  endured  for  12 
years  without  complaint,  and  it  waa  only  when 
his  snecesior  wm  to  be  appointed  that  he 
told  the  I^egLslRture  tbat^  an  office  and 
a  clerk  were  needed,  and  tUey  were  readily  granted. 
Wuen  the  mantle  of  the-'"old  man  eloquent"  fell 
npoii  him.  by  tb-j  spontaneous-Wish  of  the  people,  I 
remember  the  remark  he  made  to  me.  He 
Miid :  "I  shiiU  Huun  iasne  my  twelfth  annual 
report  to  tl;v  Bn.ard  of  Education.  I  think 
1  h;tve  lai*|  the  fountlntlon  of  the  educational 
movement  thst  has  benn  so  dear  to  me,  and  1  think 
if  I  ^ve  pI.^<_■e  to  others  they  now  can  do  more 
th.in  I  cnn  in  carrying  out  my  plana.  I 
Thi.-ik  if  I  accept  this  nomination  I  may 
flo  pom**  good  in  the  causes  of  cMiucatlon.  tem- 
^<^mn''^:•,  «n*I  nnti-slnvi-ry  :  and  whenever!  can  strike 
n  tlovir  io7  either  of  them  I  will  do  It;  but  my 
sapirstif.n.H  for  jrolitical  life  are  over.  I  shall  never 
fii;tin  be  a  party  mnn  In  a  political  sense."  We 
know  the  result.  He  was  almost  unanimously 
rhnsen.  Uo  did  not  enter  often  into  debate, 
mt  when  he  did  speak  how  effective  it  was. 
He  wa-s  much  consulted  by  all  parties,  and 
many  were  the  anecdotes  he  told  me 
r-r'  coMv^n>.-.tions  with  the  then  fire-enting  Sonthem- 
ers.  His  election  to  the  second  term  was  made  nndep 
very  different  circumstances.  Webster's  7th  of 
March  speech  struck  a  deep  and  painful  wound,  and 
it  was  yet  fresh.  How  Imrn  and  now  successfuUv  ho 
rouibatre^l  it.  Tho  old  AVhig  element  'was 
lan;p  in  his  district,  and  the  whole  Whig 
element  of  the  State  was  arrayed  against 
him.  You  all  remember  him  taking'  the  stump. 
planting  him.self  on  the  broad  ground  :/"  I  iiave  only 
done  what  I  promised  to  do,  to  .strike  a  bloui:  agAlmTt 
slavery  whenever  it  should  array  itself  against  f^- 
dnm.  "  You  know  of  his  triumphal  re-election. 
Before  iJio.  expiratiim  of  his  term  he  was 
nominated  nn  tiovemor  of  Massacbusetts,  but  the 
Free-soil  element  had  not  then  got  Into  tlie  as- 
cend;int.  .,I>f ore  the  next  election  he  had  received 
nn  invitation  to  become  the  President  of  Antioch 
Colle*'  .  where  he  remained  until  his  death. 
The  i-ollcpA  was  not  what  it  had  been  repre- 
sented to  him.  .  It  was  in  debt,  with  Its  means 
o!  snpnort  already  exhatisted  In  Investments.  In 
fact.  I  ttiink  its  foundation  was  in  a  land  speculation. 
He  saidto  rac.  consulting  me  :  *■  I  have  seen  much  of 
the  West ;  they  are  young  and  vigorous, 
and        wiU        Iiereaftcr        play        tho        important 

Eart  in  tl*e  destinies  of  our  country, 
find  the  young  are  inclined  to  skepticism  in  religion, 
and  the  old  to  bigotry.  The  fTiristian  sect  has 
planted  itself  on  the  Bible  as  the  foundation,  the  in- 
terpretation of  which  is  left  to  each  one's 
individnal  judgment.  I  can  stand  on  that^ 
and  I  liope  can  give  broader  and 
higher  \iewB  iiian  now  exist."  You  know  he  entered 
on  Sundays  the  palpit,  and  had  large  congregations 
from  all  the  country  around.  Ihimig  the  whole  of 
his  remaining  life  he  struggled  with  their  poverty 
and  with  their  little  di.isensions.  At  tho 
time  of  his  death  the  college  bad  been  sold 
and  passM  into  Unitarian  and  Christian  hands,  and. 
was  out  of  dpbt.  but  still  poor.  His  constitution  had 
become  enfeebled,  and  Mr  person  much  emaciated  by 
bard  and  continual  work,  and  be  gradnaily  sank 
under  it ;  but  he  continued  hia  labors  to 
::jp  very  end.  I  do  not  think  he  knew 
sow  worn  his  svstem  was.  On  the  day  he  died  his 
3hy>ician  told  nim  he  had  but  a  very  f ew  hotira  to 
ive.  It  struck  him  with  much  surprise,  and  h«  ques- 
:;ot'ed  him  cioaely.  When  convinced  that  it  was  so, 
3e  ^niii.  "  Then  I  have  no  time  to  lose,"  and  calling  a 
few  of  th«  remaining  students — ^for  it  was  vacation 
lime — nnd  his  family  around  him,  he  gave  them  wise 
:onnseI.  to  be  tme  to  their  highest  convictions  and  to 
rely  on  a  just  God.  He  even  went  so  far  as  to  point  out 
to  the  .-(tndents  their  individual  temptations.  When 
he  gotthrt^ngh  he  said  he  was  fatigued  and  would 
rest,  and  thus  pa.^sed  from  earth  Horae^Iann.  He 
3ad  an  intuitive  iateneet.  wMch  abnost 
imotmtedto  Inspiration-  Ha  was  an  httenstiy  bard 
workor,        and         many  wera        the        good 

trorks  for  the  prisoner,  ^^e  insane, 
and  the  i^orant  that  he  accompbsheo';  and  In  the 
famili.ir  mtercourse,  when  with  those  ha  lov^  his 
wit.  his  humor,  bis  acquirements,  and  his  evcEr  out- 
cropoing  benevolence— oh  !  how  dear  he  became  to 
us.  His  life  was  a  useful  oq«  and  his  end  a  tri- 
umphant and  happy  one. 

My  friends,  I  have  made  these  few  remarks  cm  two 
individuals  whose  Uvea  stamped  themaelTos  deep  in 
my  memory.  I  hope  that  by  those  who  fol- 
low me  the  strong  imprassioiu  left  on 
U^om  by  our  deported  Free-soil  great  men 
may  be  given  to  us;  that  our  meeting  may  be 
I  cheerful  and  happy  one  ;  and  let  It  be  remembered 
diat,  after  the  lapse  of  'J9  years  from  our  convention, 
Lhe  slave  is  free,  and  to-day  the  great  intereot  of  us 
Ul     is     to     have      one     country     and      a      firm. 

.^d  happy  onion.  I  caie  mrt  how  It

Party,  or  the  cream  of  both  acting  together,  God 
speed  Its  coming.  [Applause.  ]  I  now  have  the  great 
pleasure  of  calmg  to  the  chair  I  perhaps  have  occu-

into 
to  an- 
on of 


what  might  be  done  on  the  approach  of  the 
then  about  to  be  held,  of  a  new  Presidflnt 
Preddenfe.  to  change  the  current  of  the  natioi 
which  had  been  long  setting  in  the  dire 
permanent  establishment  of  the  Institution 
slavery  as  an  overruling  power  in  the 
ever  and  aye.  Our  worthy  host 
pleased  to  call  upon  n\o  to  preside  on 
this  occasion,  for  no  reason  I  can  imagine,  except 
that  it  happened  to  me  to  have  been  call^  to  the 
same  duty  on  that  occasion,  29  years  ago.  [At  that 
ttm«  he*  and  I  were  entitled  stiH  to  be  counted  among 
tho  working  members  of  society,  but  now  that 
we  both  are  on  the  verge  prescribed  in  Scr^>ture  as 
closing  all  worldly  enjoyments,  I  am  led  to 
tbat  he  gathers  us  around  him  as 
ehanee  for  a  good,  friendly  talk,  on< 
to  fight  our  battles  over  ag^dn. 
ms  to  remind  you  aa  briefly  aa 
what  was  the  state  of  the  country  prior  to 
demonsCratiem  at  Buffalo  was  made.  From  __ 
of  the  abort  war  with  Great  Britain,  in  1815,  to  tho 
year  1821,  but  a  single  question  of  j  serous 
uaportanee     had      agitated      the      people. 

2uettion  was  connected  with  the 
Ion  of  the  territory  of  Missoi 
the  union  and  involved  the  right  of  Congre: 
nex  a  con<StioQ  to  it  excluding  the  instil . 
negro  slaverv  from  its  borders.  This  was  the  first 
great  battle  Jor  libertv  and  it  ended  in  whatjwent  by 
the  nsxae  of  the  Misaonri  compromise^  or  in 
eleazvr  terms,  a  bargain  that  was  )  not  a 
settlement.  Twenty  years  passed  away  and  St  began 
to  be  apparent  that  the  extension  of  political  power, 
favored  by  the  Missouri  decision,  had  becoEpe  a  rul- 
ino-  principle  among  the  shiveholders,  and  the  entire 
policy  of  the  country  had  been-  'grad- 
ually made  to  bend  to  the  establish- 
ment of  sn  Idol  stronger  than  the 
old  Imai^  of  liberty— the  grim  idol  of  slavery — 
throatenmg  to  spread  its  balefal  influence  over  in- 
definite roililons  of  human  beings  yet  unboi|n.  The 
first  indications  of -dissatisfaction  with  tbis  prospect 
of  the  future  did  noftmake  their  dppearanca  among 
the  more  active  and  pwunlnent  statesmen  of  tjhe  time. 
Content  with  the  pOMtion  they  had  gained  ty  their 
public  services,  theywere  not  disposed  to  shake  it 
by  conntenaucingrstATtling  prot>lptma  It  jwas  re- 
served for  a  wholly  different  clasB  of  the  cotimuuity 
to  enter  upon  this  formidable  entei-prise  of  beanl- 
ing  the  lion  in  his  den.  Standing  as  J  we  do 
now,  IndeptfudeiTt  and  impartial  judges  of  the  past, 
I  am  free  to  say  that  we  owe-  a'great  debt  of  nratltmlo 
to  that  small  band  of  courageous  men,  andjwomen, 
tob,  who,  having  no  fear  of  man  befcfro  their 
eyes,  and  yet  con.'wious  of  the  dansj&r  that 
woidd  b«set  them  front  their  adoption  of  a 
most  unpopular  cause,  went'  on  boldly,  in  tlue  face  of 
malignj^t  and  dangerous  opposition, 'to  uphpld  with 
steady  persevenuico  the  cause  of  justice,  of  hi  imanity, 
and  of  truth.  Many  of  the  heroes  and  he  oines  of 
that  day  have  passed  away  from  among  xt  and  en- 
tered upon  their  rewnrd  ;  but  a  few  still  r  tmain  to 
enjoy  the  proud  satisfaction  of  a  fnitbful  perf  irmance 
of  a  basardons  duty,  recognized  by  the  joint  u:clama- 
tion  of  all  later  generations  of  miuikind. 

But  I  rau,st  hasten  vfith  my  story.  For  a  timethe 
slave  ix>weT  went  on.  apparently  having  ita  <  wu  way 
without  opposition,  i  St  ate  after  State  was  cut  out 
andodmittea  to  the  Union  from  the  territor  already 
acquired,  recoijnizint:  slavery,  until  it  was  e3  hausted. 
Yetthelr  power  did  not  quite  keep  up  with  t  he  corre- 
sponding progress  of  the  free  States,  it  pras 
then  tliat  the  policy  wa-s  devisetl  of  acquir- 
ing the  vast  regions  exclusively  in  the  S  mth  and 
West,  in  which  it  was  practicable,  to  spr<  ad  their 
hateful  policy  indefinitely.  Beginning  with  the  ac- 
cession of  Gen.  Jackson  to  power.  It  went  o  i  steadi- 
ly, whenever  opportunity  offereil  to  t  tie  lead- 
.ers  to  gain  their  points,  either  f»  rly,  or, 
if  not  fairly.  by  force  or  fran  d.  At 
last  the  community  began  to'  grow  slowly 
coTwiotn  that  matters  were  going  wrong.  Florida 
had  been  fairly  bought,  but  Texas  had  bee  \  stolen 
from  the  Mexicans  through  tho  expedient  of  pre- 
tended colonization.  The  next  step  was  o  pick  a 
quarrel  with  Mexico.  In  order  to  bring  thi  t  about 
It  became  nefies.'uiry  to^  carry  an  electif  n  of  n 
proper  agent  to  the  Presklencv.  To  that  end  it  was 
not  deemed  prudent  to  bring-forward  any  we  l-kno\m 
leader  for  a  slave-holding  *  candidate.'  T  le  m.'ui- 
ageia  finally  pitched  upon  James  K.  Polk,  a 
respectable  gentleman  from  Tennessee  once 
Speaker  of  the  Hou.«!e.  but  so  little  known 
that  th*  story  went  about,  when  the  new  t  of  his 
nomtoation  came  to  th©  ears  of  the  parts'  in  the 
Korth,  that  they  first  faithfiilly  cheered  J:  [Uies  K. 
PoTk,  and  next  shouted  tiio  question.  V  ho  was 
James  K.  Polk?  AgiLift.st  thi:<«  feeble  nomination 
the  \\'higs  presente<l  the  name  of  Henr>*  (lay,  a 
man  so  well  kw>wn  to  ever>-bodv  'or  bin 
long  and  brilliant  public  services  that  his  ;  tarty,  in 
comparing  his  name  with  that  of  Polk,  <i  offed  at 
the  poairibiljty  of  fnlUns  to  elect  their  favori  e.  Yet. 
when  the  election  came  roTuid  lo!  and  l>ehoi«i  I  .lauics 
K.  Polk  was  chosen.  You  may  ask  what  was  the 
reason  of  this  singular  change.  It  '  ras  all 
becauiw  of  an  answer  by  Mr."  Clay  to  an  inqu  irj-  from 
a  number  of  citizens  of  Western"  Xcw- York,  is  to  his 
views  of  the  proposnf  to  annex  Texn«.  which  lo  wroto 
so  eqntvocTilly  that  it  alienated  from  him 
jiwt  about  votes  enough  to  tcm  tl  e  scale 
in  that  State  against  him.  an(  that 
turned  the  scale  airniTi  In  the  vote  of  the  wh  >le  coun- 
try. The  slaveb<ilders  triumphed,  and  the  vi  nors  set 
alKmt  to  secure  the  profits  of  their  victory,  ?  ot  satix- 
fi«d  with  Texna  only,  their  next  step  was  o  pick  a 
quarrel  with  Mexico,  l>ecanse  she  i  [id  not 
approve  that  sort  of  st<'aling.  This  was  so 
BkulfaUymanacod  IIS  to  involve  an  ultima  e  appeal 
to  war.  Of  ail  tho  fiagitious  schemes  of  t  !ie  slave- 
holders to  extend  their  power  over  new  t  i*rritory. 
no  one  has  ever  .'teemed  to  me  so  utt  srly  in- 
Oc-fensible  a.t  this.  Ah  one  of  man r  zealou!  friends 
of  the  cati.se  of  freedom.  I  had  woi  ked  my 
full  share  in  behalf  of  Mr.  (lay  and  the  W  ilgs,  not- 
withstanding hia  equivocal  letter,  and  who  n  I  saw 
tho  atrocity  of  the  method  adopted  by  t  le  slavo 
party  to  extend  the  profit  of  th  ?ir  vic- 
tory, I  fnlly  cxj)«»ctcd  that  it  would  be  met 
with  a  corresponding,  unflinching  reslitanc  r  by  tb** 
united  efi'orta  of  their  opponents.  You  may  judge  of 
our  surprise  when  we  found  that  there  wa  ^  n»i  In- 
tention to  regard  these  questions  as  a  party  matttcr 
at  alL  Eveiy  memltor  was  to  vote  as  he  thought 
beit.  Some  of  them  actqally  voted  'or  the 
war.  From  that  inst.int  my  own  at  achment 
to  this  organization,  so  weakened,  that  I  decldfd  to 
decline  any  further  the  fru.st  which  had  btien  liber- 
a^jy  extended  to  me  in  tho  Mav»arhu«et  s  l<egw- 
h»tore  for  several  years.  Neither  was  I 
alone  In  holding  these  sentiments.  As  tho 
policy  -  of  the  slaveholders  went  on  many 
persons  of  grent  weigiit  of  character  seemed 
dissntisfie^l  with  the  utter  imlifference  mani  e'^tcd  by 
the  Wbigs.  Th*t  tone  of  their  new.snapers  pus  abso- 
lutely  servile,  end  the  spirit  of  oppositior  became 
completely  hushed.  A  few  of  ns.  after  'onsulta- 
tion  together,  decided  that  we  con  Id  not 
continue  silent  in  thi^  emergency.  Tho  clief  diffl- 
culty  wxi  in  findimr  a  political  org  m  that 
wotud  express  our  !M^timcnts  as  freely  as  wi  desirod, 
Jast  at  that^moment  it  »«>  happeneil  that  a  u  iwsnaper 
press,  which  lia«l  Im-f-u  startMl  in  the  J  icight  of 
the  late  election  by  a  son  of  Joi  eph  T. 
Buckingham,  of  the  Courier,  well  remem  >ered  bv 
many  of  us  here,  /md  which  had  lost  all 
chance  of  establishiuc  ititclf  after  the  loss  ol  the  elec- 
timt,  in  pure  desperation,  wns  offered  to  n  e  by  tho 
printers  who  corrtroUed  it.  The  jiaper  bore  he  name 
of  the  Boston  Whia.  j  After  some  conversat  on  I  was 
so  far  tempted  hy  thi.s  opportunity,  o  fcred  to 
the  knot  of  friemls  who  symjpatliizi-d  ■  ritli  me, 
in  maintalnintr  the  ground  wc  biui  taltpu  ai  ainst  the 
backsliding  of  our  party,  as  to  call  them  togotlif-r 
and  lay  the  matter  fuHy  before  them.  lht>r*»«n!t 
was  that  a  meeting  was  calleJ  at  lobby  }\o.  13.  in 
the  8tato-hou.se,  by  John  G.  Paljfrry.  then 
Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth,  t(  >  which 
had  been  invited  by  me.  Stephen  <_'.  PI  illips.  of 
Salem  :  Charles  Sumner,  of  Boston,  and  Hi  nry  Wil- 
son, df  Natick.  These  three,  and  I>r.  I*a  frey  and 
myself  cotistituted  the  little  company.  Af  er  much 
discussion  and  a  variety  of  opinions,  it  was 
ultimately  doridt>d  to  arcept  the  off  ?r  made 
to  us  and  to  enter  nTKm  the  ex  jeriment. 
To  that  end  a  contribution  of  money  was  to  be  made. 
Pr.  Palfrey  agreed  to  aasunio  the  responsi  )ilrty  for 
one-fifth  of  the  sum  required:  Mr.  Phillips  and  ray- 
self,  respectively,  took  two-fifths,  while  the  other 
two  men,  less  favored  by  fortime.  pledged  tl  lemselves 
to  make  up  for  tho  difference  iu  earnest  am  i.ngorous 
fiirpport  of  the  imdertaking.  which  they  Faithfully 
cave.  Such  was  the  beginning  of  the  R  *pubUcnn 
Party  in  the  State  of  Massachtisetts.  Of  all  the  men 
engaged  in  this  primitive  undertaking.  d«<p  frate  as  it 
seemed,  no  singlo  one  contribnted  mofe  to  its 
success  than  John  G.  Palfrey.  An^  from 
his  pecuniary  assistance,  which  was  large  in 
ita  proportion  to  hLs  means,  he  began  the  pampsign 
with  that  very  able  series  of  papers  on  elajre  power 
which  were  afterward  conecte<l  and  circulated,  pro- 
ducing great  effect  on  opinion  wherever  Uimt  went. 

[At  this  poiBt  3lr.  F.  W.  Bird  row  afad  said  : 
"  Dr.  Palfren  is  tznable  physically  to  b«  here  to- 
day. I  ask  th©  audience  to  rise  and  gire  throe 
cheers  for  that  venerable  and  honorefl  man." 
The  audience  rose^and  pave  three  beartjj  cheer.".] 

Ko  more  steriing  patriot  and  RtntesmAnj  is  to  l>o 
found  in  the  long  list  of  our  pulilic  menJ  He  still 
survives,  the  only  one  except  roysolf  of  a  company 
all  of  whom  put  m  their  strength  to  bring  (about  tho 
great  revolution  that  has  since  taktn  place 
in  our  land.  It  lis  no  more  than  just 
thnt  posterity  should  retain  tho  melnory  of 
their  names  forever.  It  becomes  j  mo  to, 
add  another  name,  thatof  one  who  sympataizedwit" 
us  entirely  in  our  undertaking,  and  who  did  maryel3 
at  one  nM>ment  in  promoting  H  at  the  i[ery  start- 
Need  I  mention  the  nam6  of  Charles  Allen, 
whose  eloquent  appeal  to  the  people  of  Worcester 
Ctmnty,  of  whom  ne  was  the  chosen  repreiBentat  ive, 
laid  a  permanent  foundation  in  that  regioii  in  favor 
of  fre«iom  that  has  remained  solid  down  tq  this  day  ? 

But  the  time  warns  me  that  I  must  be  Ifrief.  We 
fought  th*  batttle  of  freedom  In  tho  Whig  Party 
with  various  fortunes,  untQ  the  time  carnqfor  a  new 
election  to  the  Presidency.  The  !  question 
then  came  up,  what  shall  we  Ho?  We 
had  not  separated  from  the  Whii  Party, 
nor  did  we  mean  to  separate.  unless  we 
should  clearly  see  that  the  prindplesTprofessed 
by  all  In  common  were  to  be  d^jTiborately 
abandoned  on  occasions  by  the  greater  num- 
ber. The  nominations  of  the  respective  parties 
were  about  to  be  made.  The  .Administration  of 
Praaldant  Polk  had  ended  with  a  triomphaut  war, 
attended  by  an  enormous  accretion  of  newj  territory 
for  the  benefit  of  slavery.  Of  that  war  G^n.  Taylor 
had  been  the  successful  imide ;  hence  hia  popularity 
had  grown  in  proportion.  Yet  the  factj  was  in- 
disputable that  he  was  a  eitize^  of  a 
slave  State,  and  a  proprietor  of  laraa  estates 
on  which  be  kmpt  large ntunbers of  negroesln  slavery. 
How  then,  could  he  be  mode  acceptable  td  any  truo 
friends' of  freedom.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Demo- 
cratic Party,  responsible  for  the  making  of  the  war, 
and  pledged  to  a  policy  favoriDg  th©  e.^nsion  of 
alavery  in  the  territory  aeqtiired,  broughit  forward 
6eo.  Lewis  Caae  as  a  faithful  exponent  of  their  ea- 
taUiahed  policy.  In  tills  emergency,  whai.  was  our 
eonat«matlon  when  we  fotmd  that  the  ^'Hblg  oppo- 
nent of  Gen.  Cats  waa  to  be  Qen.  Taylorj  the  man

Cass  woald  be  giving  a  aanctlon  to  the  policy  of  the 
WW,  ^ich  wo  abboTod ;  to  vote  for  Gen.  Taylor 
would  be  glorifying  the  agent  who  had  done  ao  much 
to  promote  the  remlta  wmch  we  held  in  dread.  There 
was  one  aXtemaUve,  utd  that  was  a  resort  to  a 
third  ncHuInatioD.  It  could  not  hope  to  be  successful 
or  to-be  mora  than  a  soleimi  prateM  against  the  ten- 
dency of  both  parties.  Yet.  after  a  care- 
ful survey  of  the  ground,  there  seemed  to 
be  reasonable  cause  for  believing  that  our 
action,  whatever  it  might  be,  W9uld  have  no 
small  effect  In  consolidating  tlie  party,  and  might 
overcome  a  resistance  in  time  if  not  then.  The  only 
question  of -difficulty  was  whom  we  should  nominate 
aa  our  ,  candidate.  On  the  one  side  there  had 
been  a  considerable  accession  la  the  State  of 
New- York  from  the  Democratic  nomination  of 
Gen.  Cass  ;  on  the  other  almost  equal  diegtist  among 
the  Whig  moderate  men  at  tho  nomination  of  Gen. 
Taylor  ;  and  this  feeling  pointed  verv  distinctly  to 
the  substitution  of  Judge  John  McLean, 
of  Ohio.  For  one,  I  mtist  acknowledge 
that  I  was  much  exercised  at  the 
time  by  this  unforttmate  turn  that  these  elections 
had  taken.  To  vote  for  Gen.  Taylor  was  flying  in 
the  face  of  the  principles  we  had  solemnly  put  for- 
ward, and  a  resort  to  Gen.  Cass  was  equally  out  of 
the  question.  How  it  might  be  ^with  Van  Buren.  we 
cotild  not  tell.  In  any  event,  it  seemed  indispensable 
to  take  steps  to  assemble  another  convention.  A 
very  considerable  number  of  persons  of  influence 
gave  favorable  responces  to  the  proposition,  and  the 
requisite  steps  wore  tkken  to  carry  it  into  effect. 
Bnjffalo,  in  New- York,  was  fixed  upon  as  the 
place,  and  tlM  0th  day  of  August  as 
the  time  for  the  assembling  of  the 
new  combination.  JIany  people,  particularly  in  the 
Ktate  of  3Ta"*8achusetts,  had  been  much  roused  by  the 
e\-ents  which  had  taken  place,  and  as  a  consequence  a 
f  nil  delegation  was  sent  to'Buffalo,  embracing  many 
of  tho  most  promising  yoimg  men  grow- 
ing up"  in  the'  State.  In  the  district 
in  which  I  Uvod  the  meeting  was 
pleased  to  name  me  as  one  of  the  delegates,  and  I 
cbeerftilly  obeyed  the  call.  In  a  few  days  I  found 
myself  in  the  midst  of  a  multitude  assembled  for 
that  creat  meeting.  There  have  been  many  such  aa- 
sembtages  since,  far  larger  in  numbers,  and  perhaps 
more  skillfni  In  modes  of  operation,  but  for  plain, 
downright  honesty  of  purpose  to  effect  high  ends, 
without  a  whisper  of  bargain  and  sale.  I  doubt 
whether  any  similar  one  has  been  its  superior  either 
before  or  since. ' 

The  first  duty  after  our  arrival  was  to  consult  with 
our  brethren  of  the  other  States  respecting  the 
selection  of  a  candidat-e  to  represent  our  views,  as 
opposed  to  those  entertained  by  both  the  older  par- 
ties. I  soon  discovered  that  a  nomination  would 
certainly  be  made,  and  tho  selection  of  4he  man 
would  1m»  narrowed  down  between  Judge  McLeau 
and  Martin  VanBuren— one  a  Whig,  the  other  a 
I>emocrat.  The  question  was  which  of  the  two  waa 
to  be  preferre<L  His  party  character  was  of  little 
consequence.  I  think  I  have  already  said  that  my 
own  inclinations  tended  to  the  preference  of 
Judge  Mcl-eun,  and  to  that  end  T  applied 
at  once  to  the  delegates  from  Ohio  for 
concerte*!  action  in  his  behalf.  The  cluef  person  in 
that  highly  respectable  delegation  waa  Mr.  S.  P. 
Chase,  a  promising  statesman,  whose  later  career 
is  familiar  to  you  alL  and  to  him  I  wa.»4  re- 
ferred for  antbentie  information  of  Judge  Mcljcan's 
position.  You  may  jndce  of  my  surprise 
when  I  was  informed  that  the  Judge  was  severely 
trieii  on  the  anxious  seat,  \rith  a  strong  avondon  to 
l>e  pitted  agnin.st  any  rival  candidate.  The  effect  of 
this  wet  blanket  over  our  hopes  you  can  readily 
imagine.  For  some  such  emei^ency  as  now  pre- 
Beuted  itaolf.  I  had  not.  been  altogether 
uni>repared.  In  the  event  of  tlio  retreat,  of  Judge 
SIcLeau  it  waj<  obvious  that  tbe  friends'of  Mr.  Van 
Bnrcn  would  nccensarily.  by  their  tuiion  and  orirantza- 
ti(ni,  have  the  advantage  over  any  other  public  man 
whom  we  could  persuade  ,to  stand,  and  these  wo 
could  count  on  our  fingers'  ends.  Not 
entirely  blind  to  this  possibility  I  had  alrca<ly  in  mv 

firivate  capacity  tnken  a  sieo  on  my  own  resiwnsibil- 
tr.  to  opou  the  way  for  this  possible  alternative. 
On  the  llJth  of  July— that  ic,  three 
weeks  previous — ^I  had  addresEod  a  confidential 
letter  to  ilr.  Van  Buren,  reciting  the  nattire  of 
our  movement  and  the  encouraging  symptoms  iu  his

This  letter  had  been  received  on  the  2Sth  of  July. 
Althotigh  Romewhat  wordy,  it  substantially  ratified 
and  confirmed  his  former  declarations  and  his  policy, 
which  prw-tically  cost  him  the  Democratic  nomina- 
tion. Thnt  went  to  Orcn.  Cass.  Thero  was 
then  nothinz  loft  to  us  to  choose  but  to

coorageous  man  of  high  po.sition  iji  the  two  parti*^ 
wiJlinc:  then  to  hold  tip  our  standard.  His  clear 
answer  to  the  invitation  sealed  the  bond, 
and  from  the  19th  of  August,  ix-iri.  the 
great  party  dates  the  organization  which 
through  weal  and  through  woe,  at  last  carried  to  a 
triumphant  close  a  straggle  for  a  mighty  piinciple. 
which,  for  its  length  and  peverltv.  Is  chtitlea  to  claim 
a  high  and  honorable  ranlc  In  the  annals 
of  the  world.  ,  As  for  Massachusetts,  you 
all  doubtless  remember  the  result  of  that 
election  which  forced  an  entering  wedge  into  the 
Whig  column  that  ultimately  effected  its  downfall. 
In  contrast  with  this  struggle  all  later  questions  sunk 
into  insiffnificance.  Xjet  us  rejoice  that  we  now  live 
in  the  full  enjo>'ment  of  all  the  blessings  that  attend 
good  gbvemmeut,  peace,  freedom,  and  justice,  en- 
vironed by  plenty'  and  supported  by  law. 

I  have,  1  fear.  Mr.  Downer,  entrenched  much  too 
far  in  the  festivities  of  this  occasion,  and  deprivetl 
your  guests  of  tho  privilege  of  bearing  the  experienco 
of  the  others  whom  I  see  around  me.  all  of  them 
more  or  less  a.isociated  with  the  event  you  havo 
been  pleased  to  celebrate  to-day. 

The  Chairman  then  introduced  Judge  E.  R. 
Hoar,  of  \Vorce.*«ter,  prefacing  the  introduction 
bv  a  brief  history  of  the  difficulty  between 
Massachusetts  aiid  South  Carolina  which  led  to 
the  stending  of  Mr.  Hoar's  father  to  represent 
Massachusetts'  grrievances  to  the  Palmetto 
State-  Mr.  Hoar  spoke  very  briefly,  saying 
he  wonld  not  take  up  the  time  of  the  audience 
in  rehearsing  the  events  of  30  years  ago.  He 
was  happy,  however,  for  the  first  time  in  his 
life  to '  I  bo  able  to  pay  a  humble 
tribute  tcj  Martin  Van.Boren.  Many  of  the 
Free-soilers  of  1848  were  sorely  disappointed 
at  his  nomination  for  the  Presidency.  But  one 
of  his  nei;;hbors  took  comfort  to  himself  by 
saying  that  he  believed  there  waa  one  good 
thing  about  Van  Buren.  He  always  stuct  to 
the  cause  he  espoused  for.  th©  time  being,  and 
when  he  sent  the  spoils  to  the  voters,  the  voters 
paid  Vm.     [Laughter.] 

After  Judge  Hoar,  snort  speeches  were  made 
by  his  brother,  Senator  Hoar,  Hon.  Am^s  Tuck, 
of  New-York;  Stephen  Phillips,  of  Salem,  and 
Frank  W.  Bird,  of  Walpole,  All  of  them  were 
devoted  to  historical  reminiscences  of  the  organ- 
ization of  tlie  Free-soil  Party,  and  the  event,  that 
led  to  it,  of  which  the  chief  was  the  annexation 
of  Texas.  The  reunion  closed  with  the  reading 
of  an  original  poem  pertinent  to  the  occaskm 
by  Thomas  Drew.

From  Our  Own  ComtpendeiU. 
GruKOFvo,  Monday,  July  23,  1877. 
Most  people  have  only  two  horns  to  their 
dilemmas;  I  am  particularly  afSleted  with 
three,  and  unless  I  poesessed  the  quality  of 
nbiqtdtonsneas  claimed  by  Sir  Boyle  Boach  for 
his  bird,  I  cannot  come  to  a  perfectly  satisfac- 
tory solution.  If  1  could  be  in  several  places  at 
the  same  time,  I  have  before  me :  A  visit  as 
bearer  of  dispatches  to  the  Kussian  head- 
quarters somewhere  in  Bulgaria ;  an  excursion 
to  the  Roumanian  head-quarters  at  Plana  and 
Kalafat,  or  to  stay  where  I  am,  to  watch  the 
bombardment  of  Rustchuk,  which,  after  several 
postponements,  is  positively  advertised  for  this 
week;  "  weather  permitting  and  the  flies  not 
being  too  bad,"  might  have  been  added  by  the 
manager  of  the  performance.  Now,  it  is  very 
hard  to  come  to  a  decision  and  be  certain  of  not 
putting  one's  foot  in  it  by  running  after  shad- 
ows. In  Bulgaria  I  should  en^^he  inestlmshle 
privilege  of  gazing  upon  the  aUbb  features  of 
the  Grand  Duke  and  of  seeing,  or  rather  hear- 
ing, the  results  of  the  operations  of  the  armies 
of  Holy  Russia,  for  no  correspondent  whom  I 
have  yet  met  has  ever  got  much  further ;  with 
the  doughty  warriors  of  Carol  I.,  I 
should  listen  to  a  vast  amount  of  grand- 
iloquent buncombe,  witness  a  great  deal 
of  martial  swagger,  and  then  record  the 
triumphal  passage  of  tho  Danabe  by  the  Rou- 
manian heroes  after  the  Russian  column  from 
Kikopolia  shall  have  cleared  the  way  and  made 
the  operation  nice  and  eaaj.  It  is  true  that  one 
of  the  Prince's  aides  de  camp,  who  was  de- 
tached on  duty  with  the  Grand  Duke,  has  come 
over  with  permission  to  his  sovereign  from  his 
imperial  guardian  to  go  ahead,  but  I  don't  think 
that,  unaided,  these  people  will  do  much  against 
■Widdin,  except  continue  their  harmless  can- 
nonade. The  men  are  doubtless  brave  enough, 
and  so  I  suppose  are  the  officers,  and  their 
Princeling  locks  neither  courage  nor  determina- 
tion ;  but  no  one  has  hod  any  experience,  and 
there  is  no  one  to  tell  the  staff  whaf  to  do,  and 
the  troops  feel  the  ignorance  of  their  leaders, 
and  so  are  wanting  in  that  confidence  which  is 
necessary  to  insure  success.  Here  I  am  pretty 
certain  that  something  must  happen  soon, 
although  I  have  no  dednite  information,  and  it 
is  all  a  chance  when  I  or  any  one  else  drop  upon 
the  truth  in  time  to  be  present  at  the  perform- ' 
ance.  I  know  a  lot  of  military  swells  who  are 
most  courteous  and  affable  in  ordinary  circum- 
stances, but  who  take  refuge  ^vith  a  bland  and 
childlike  smile  in  enigmatical  generalities  as 
soon  ag  you  ask  a  leading  question.  "When 
will  you  begin  the  bombardment?  Do  you 
fancy  it  will  be  to-morrow  F'  and  my 
neighbor  at  the  tabU  d'h'tfr,  &  mae:- 
niflcent  Russian  General,  all  mustache 
and  decorations,  looks  grave,  and  then,  after  a 
moment's  axixious  thought  as  to  wliether  he  will 
commit  himself,  replies:  "Possibly;  although 
it  may  not  take  place  before  Tuesday  or 
Wednesday ;  perhaps,  indeed,  not  before  next 
week."  It  Is  the  tim  diVir/  ^HoA  liVir  .'  "^Tio 
knows  I  God  knows  I''  of  the  Turks  in  another 
form.     Indeed,  there  is  a  ttixt^  de  precaution,  for. 


except  as  to  the  preci-so   town,   the  objective  ot 

their  movements  is  a  mere  comedy  secret,  tol*4*t)o  in  the  neighborhood,  andlor  hom^dld  the 


xMiwiKjk  sMamhBr  about  bte  mb 


to  the  audience,  hut  by  an  ingenious  fiction 
supposed  to  be  concealed  from  the  other  actors 
on  the  stage.  Correspondonts  are  forbidden  to 
telegraph  anything  to  their  newspapers,  yet 
the  countrj-  swarms  with  the  enemy's  spies  and 
sympathizers,  and  it  tho  Turks  only  were  as 
clever  to  profit  by  as  they  are  to  obtain  informa- 
tion, thcj-  would  never  be  caught  unprepared. 

Now,  while  I  am  awaiting  the  ri.se  of  the  cur- 
tain, I  shall  endeavor  to  improve  tho  shining 
hour  by  e.xamiuing  such  of  the  Russian  ar- 
rangements as  are  open  to  insi>ectlon.  So  far 
sus  1  have  seen  they  need  not  fear  plagiarism, 
for,  if  not  bad,  they  are  at  least  confusing,  ac- 
cording to  generally  preconceived  military  no- 
tions. Let  us,  for  politenes.s'  sake,  call 
them  original,  and  proceed  to  their  description. 
Their  camps  are  irregularly  pitched,  with 
apparently  no  regard  to  the  prrjxiraity  of 
wood  and  water,  and  as.  filthy  and  foul  smilllng 
as  a  Itulgarian  or  Servian  village  ;  their  ord- 
nance and  commissary  stores  are  piled  up  pro- 
miscuous ly  by  the  siHe  of  the  railway  tracks, 
with  no  other  cover  than'  pieces  of  canvas, 
— not  oven  tarpaulins — exposed  on  two 
sides  at  lea.*^  to  sun,  wind,  and  rain, 
with  here  and  thero  heaps  of  rotten, 
broken  biscuit  and  piles  of  moldy  bread  ;  no 
sentinels  are  jjlaced  at  the  springs  and  wells,  so 
that  the  former  are  soon  trampled  into  quag- 
mires and  the  latter  are  pumped  dry  ;  the  one 
line  of  rail  bv  which  their  heavy  supplies  are 
fetched  from  bucharest,  is  so  i>&autifully  man- 
aged that  it  is  nearly  always  lifoeked.  so  that, 
what  with  troop  and  pas.5enger  i  rains,  baggage- 
wagons,  ambulances  and  trucks  carrying  horses 
and  siege  gims,  the  journey,  ordinarily  an  affair 
of  a  little  over  two  hours,  not  infrequently  is 
prolonged  to  seven — a  very  serious  delay  if  a 
sudden  concentration  of  troops  and  material 
were  necessary.  But  their  triumph  is  their  Sub- 
sistence Department,  and  the  arrangements 
h.->re  are  so  entirely  without  parallel  in  the  his- 
tory of  any  other — even  Russian — campaign, 
that  they  merit  more  than  a  passing 
notice.  Tho  Russians  affect  to  bo  de- 
lighted with  its  working,  but  the  great 
eagemes.s,  so  unlike  his  usual  reticence,  of  my 
Russian  General  to  explain  its  beauties  anil 
insist  upon  its  advantages,  looks  more  like  an 
effort  at  an  apology  for  the  endless  delays  and 
confusion,  apparent  even  to  the  most  casual 
observer.  Formerly  there  was  a  regular  com- 
missariat, and  the  subsistence  of  the  Army  was 
intrusted  to  regular  officers  of  the  Government ; 
at  present,  this  important  service  is  entirely  in 
the  hands  of  a  "  victualing  firm,"  acting  as 
commission  merchants.  "  It  must  be  readily 
understood" — I  am  quoting  my  Russian  Gen- 
eral-r-"  that  our  Quartermaster  Department 
was  obliged  to  make  certain  innovations,  for 
the  circnmstances  and  conditions  of  the  present 
war  are  entirely  different  from  those  of  any 
preceding  European  campaigns.  Nowhere 
el.se  is  there  a  line  of  defense  so  long  and  so 
well  protected  by  nature  as  that  of  the  Danube ; 
the  Army  was  obliged,  in  its  march  toward  the 
actual  zone  of  operations,  to  pass  through  a 
countrj'  sparsely  peopled,  where  the  lines  of 
transjiortation  are  indifferent,  and  where  the 
principal  element  of  the  Russian  soldier's  i  a- 
tions,  rye  fiour,  is  not  obtainable.  Our  railway 
rolling  stork  csnnot  be  u.sed  upon  the  narrow- 
gauge  tracks  of  the  Roumanian  lines,  so  that  a 
transshipment  of  all  the  stores  was  necessary 
as  soon  as  they  reached  the  frontier  at 
Imgheni,  whereas  the  German  Intend- 
ance  could  bring  everything  from 
the  centre  of  Germany  to  beneath  the  walls  of 
Paris  in  1871  without  a  change  of  carriages. 
Besides,  aU  the  railroads  in  Eoumania  have  but 
a  single  track,  which  is  insufficient  for  the 
transportation  of  the  supplies  of  an  army  of 
several  •  hundred  thousand  men.  Before  the 
Pruth  was  crossed  a  convention  with  Roumania 
was  a  necessary  formality,  and  tnis  was  a  mat- 
ter of  serious  difficulty  in  order  to  avoid  wound- 
ing the  natural  susceptibilities  of  a  friendly 
people.  But  this  was  a  mere  detail ;  the  r^al 
obstacles  to  an  advance  became  more  formidable 
as  the  operations  progressed  in  the  heart  of  a 
devastated  country,  among  a  starving  popula- 
tion, decimated  by  epidemics,  and  almost  desti- 
tute of  all  railway  eommuiiication.  Naturally, 
in  such  conditions  the  question  of  revictualing 
the  Army  became  singularly  complicated,  and  it 
became  imperative  at' any  price  to  invent  some 
system  adapted  to  these  exceptional  circum- 
stanc*s  for  which  no  precedents  existed.  Lo- 
cal resources  could  not  he  taken  into  considera- 
tion ;  many  articles  of  first  necessity,  particu- 
larly rye  flour,  miust  be  brought  from  Russia  ; 
immense  means  of  transportation  must  be 
found,  and  due  allowance  must  be  made  for  the 
inevitable  delays  of  this  transportation.  In 
this  situation  it  was  impossible  to  make  use 
of  the  ordinary  methods  of  giving  contracts  for 
the  supply  of  stores  that  have  been  successfully 
employed  during  times  of  peace.  It  is 
tme  that  the  underbidding  of  the  various  con- 
tisetoTs  presented  certain  advantages  to  the  de- 
Bartmest,  bnt  titers  i*  a  rast  amormt  of  red 


tape  in  the  adjnlslatratlan,  a  mnltitaile  of  f  oi^ 
maUties  to  be  gone  through,  which  would  have 
delayed  the  operations,  and  as  de]>y^  might  be 
fatal,  the  question  of  economy  waa  made  en- 
tirely a  secondary  consideration.  The  contracts 
signed  with  the  aforesaid  '  firm'  do  not  conse- 
quently flx  any  price  to  the  contractors,  who  are 
only  obliged  to  deliver  a  certain  quantity  of 
stores,  of  a  certain  quality,  at  such  times  and 
places  as  may  be  designated  by  the  Intendance. 
Their  profits  consist  in  a  regular  commission 
paid  to  them  over  and  above  the  first  cost  price 
of  the  articles  furnished." 

Now,  this  may  be  very  Bstisfaetory  to  the 
members  of  the  "firm."  which  is  a  vast  asso- 
ciation of  Russian,  Polish,  and  German  Israel- 
ites, who  are  simply  coining  money.  What 
their  commission  is  I  cannot  say.  bnt  some  of 
the  little  men  who  act  as  sub-contractors  have 
theirs  at  the  rate  of  2  per  cent,  per  diem  in  the 
article  of  bread  alone,  and  I  know  several  who 
with  an  original  capital  of  10,000  francs  have 
made  nearly  250,000  francs  since  the  1st  of 
May,  1877.  The  average  movement  of  carts 
along  the  roads  exceeds  2,000  daily ;  people 
are  offering  from  50  to  fJO  francs  for  the 
hire  ot  a  wagon  drawn  by  oxen,  and  even  atthat 
price  cannot  obtain  a  sufficien^number  for  the 
wants  of  the  soldiers,  with  whom  the  eccentric 
management  of  the  subsistence  department 
makes  it  either  a  feast  or  famine.  The  column 
which  fought  so  gallantly  at  the  taking  of  Niko- 
polis  had  been  without  food  for  24  hours,. and 
as  the  army  gets  into  the  interior  it  would  be 
in  danger  of  absolute  starvation  if  the  Turks 
had  pluck  and  Intelligence  enough  to  make  a 
raid  on  the  enemy's  long  and  uniuanageable 
convoys. 

May  I  venture  on  a  little  bit  of  scandal  t  It 
is  not  strategetics,  but  then  one  cannot  always 
talk  shoj),  and  I  am  sure  that  at  least  my  lady 
readers,  if  I  am  so  fortunate  as  to  have  any,  are 
tired  of  hearing  about  soldiers  and  cannon  and 
concentrations  and  movements  and  operations 
and  Krupp's  and  shrapnell — tottjourg  perdrix 
disgu-sted  even  the  Grand  Monarque.  Six  weeks 
ago  all  the  dandies  of  Bucharest  waxed  eloquent 
over  the  beauty  and  grace  of  a  charming  wom- 
an who  rode  through  their  .•suburbs  at  the  head 
of  a  splendid  regiment  of  Uhlans.  Was  she  or 
was  she  not  the  legitimate  spouse  of  it«  gallant 
Colonel  ?  Nobody  knew  or  really  cared,  although, 
Bucharest  being  gossipy  by  nature  and  educa- 
tion, the  subject  was  freely  and  warmly  dis- 
cussed, and  the  conclusion  arrived  at, 
thot  as  Colonel  X.  gave  her  his  name, 
and  did  not  look  like  a  person  to 
be  trfled  with,  it  ■would  be  safer  to  give  her  the 
benefit  of  the  doubt  and  behave  politely.  She 
did  not  seem  to  core  much  for  the  society  of  her 
sex,  but  she  was  the  ornament  and  joy  of  the  so- 
ciety of  Giurgevo,  from  which  all  theindigenooa 
joys  and  ornaments  had  fled  to  the  mountains. 
1  was  presented,  and,  like  every  one  else,  was 
seized  with  a  respectful  admiration  of  the  ease 
and  grace  of  manner  which,  like  the  majority  of 
her  countrywomen,  she  possessed.  Sbe  was  a 
PoIonaLse  and  blnnde  commc  fei  bUs.  But  a 
change  came.  Two  days  ago  the  Colonel  re- 
ceived orders  to  made  a  reconnoissance  with  his 
regiment  toward  Paraipan.  and  Ms  absence 
would  la.'^t  some  three  or  four  days.  AU  the 
hotel  could  hear  theirparting,  which  was  tender 
and  lachrymose.  "  'Take  care  of  thyself,  dar- 
ling ;  don't  expose  thy  pre'cious  existence,"  wept 
the  lady.  "  My  own  heart's  treasure,  how  wilt 
thou  bear  the  separation  1'  replied  the  warrior, 
and  there  were  tears  and  kisses  and  pro- 
testations, and  then  he  rode  away  and  she  waved 
her  kerchief  from  the  window  until  the  last 
horseman  of  the  column  had  disappeared  in  tho 
dim  distance.  But,  as  the  soldier  proceeded  on 
his  weary  way,  a  messenger  overtook  him  and 
bade  him  retrace  his  steps,  as  the  enemy  bad 
fled,  and  the  reconnoissance  was  no  longer  ne- 
ces-saiy.  On  the  wings  of  love,  and  as  fast 
as  his  thoroughbred  conld  carry  him,  he 
galloped  back,  leaving  his  regiment  in  charge 
of  its  Lieutenant-Colonel,  his  heart  filled  with 
fond  anticipations  of  the  joyous  surprise  which 
his  unexpected  return  would  cause  to  the  lady 
of  his  love.  He  reaches  the  dwelling,  throws 
his  reins  to'  an  orderly,  tries  the  door,  shouts 
"  It  is  I,  mv  dearest.''  gets  no  answer,  becomes 
impatient,  and  finally  kicks  in  a  panel  and  finds 
that  "  his  dearest"  has  gone,  and  has  left  no 
sign  behind  her  except  an  empty  jewel-case. 
Now,  there  are.  no  jewelers,  at  present,  iu 
Ginrgevo,  and  no  one  but  a  lunatic  ever  ven- 
tures out  of  doors  under  tho  scorching  heat  of 
midday  ;  so  that  there  was  legitimate  cause  for 
suspicion.  But  where  was  she '  He  knew  that 
she  had  not  left  by  the  morning  train,  and  there 
are  no  post  horses  to  be  obtained  in  the  town, 
and  no  place  of  refuge  nearer  than  Bucharest, 
if  she  had  been  miudcd  to  run  awav  ;  she  must 


poor  man  tear  about  the  streets,  and  we  could 
hear  his  howls  and  imprecatioite  echoing 
through  the  corridors  of  the  hotel,  as  he  shrieked 
out  for  tidings  of  his  lost  one.  Ko  one  could 
or  would  irive'him  any  satisfaction,  but  at  last 
somelKKly  sugge.sted  that  the  evening's  train  to 
the  capital  might  give  him  some  clue  to 
the  mystery;  so  to  the  station'  he  went,  and 
arabu.shed  himself  in  its  environs,  and  thought 
over  possible  projects  of  vengeance,  and  perhaps 
over  the  inconstancy  and  perfidy  of  the  fair  sex. 
Kverybodv  in  to«-n-  at  last  got  to  know  of  the 
affair,  and  there  wks  quite  a  gallery  of  specta- 
tors on  the  spot  when  the  first  bell  rangat  4:45. 
Still  no  one  came,  and  his  uncertainty  became 
greater,  when  suddenly  a  hackney  carriage  tore 
up  the  street,  'and  lis  the  last  bell  for  the  depart- 
ure was  clanging,  the  lost  lady  and  the  Colonel's 
most  intimate  friend,  each  with  a  small  travel- 
ing bag  in  hand,  stepped  out  and  ran  to  the 
ticket-ofBce.  1  suppose  he  said  i'f  tu  Br>ite,  or 
something  of  the  sort,  for  I  heard  some  curious 
and  evidently  unparliamentary  guttural  sounds, 
and  we  saw  several  slaps  in  the  face  given,  and 
in  the  midst  of  the  scuffle  Helen  got  into  a  first- 
class  carriage  and  was  borne  off  to  Bucharest, 
whcnco  she  telegraphed  the  same  evenine  for 
her  luggage,  and  Paris  and  Menelaus  were  or- 
deredoff  to  their  res^ctive lodgings,  underdose, 
'arrest,  by  a  stem  old  General,  who,  although  he 
seemed  to  enjoy  the  scene,  could  not  permit  the 
pubhc  scandal  to  go  on  unnoticed.  On  dit,  that 
there  will  be  a  duel  as  .soon  as  Rustchuk  has 
fallen  :  but  Russian  discipline  is  inflexible, 
and  if  dueling  is  winked  at.  It  is  onlv  upon  con- 
dition that  it  does  not  interfere  with  the  public 
weal. 

While  I  am  writing,  the  cannon  in  the  Slo- 
bodja  batteries  have  begun  to  gro'wl,  and  al- 
though the  Turks  have  not  vet  replied,  the  land- 
lord has  come  in  to  say  that  the  orders  from  the 
ijovernor  are  to  dear  the  hotel  immediately, 
\\*here  I  shaU  seek  shelter,  where  sleep  this 
night,  1  have  no  idea;  probably  not  atrall,  as,  if 
the  bombardment  has  commenced  in  earnest, 
no  one  will  care  for  rest,  and  I  am  curious  to  see 
the  effect  of  the  Russian  guns.  Their  ofiScers 
pretend  to  have  some  in  position  'with  a  range 
of  f*,000  metres— nearly  six  miles. 

P.  S, — I  am  -^riting  this  on  a  stump  by  the 
.  roadside.  The  troops.are  getting  under  arms, 
and  the  Turkish  shells  are  crashing  through  the 
hou-ses  of  the  town.  I  cannot  see  what  effect 
they  have  on  Slobodja ;  but  the  batteries  thero 
are  evidently  firing  only  on  the  Turkish  fortifi- 
cation and  at  the  camp  on  the  hill — so  far.  it 
seems,  without  effect. 

A  FORGER  RELEASED. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  9. — George Baynes, 
who  was  arrested  in  this  city  on  July  26, 
charged  with  having  stolen  i?'J2.000  from  the 
office  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Rail-way,  Montreal, 
and  who  on  a  hearing  of  the  charge  on  Aug.  2 

was  released,  but  was  subsequently  committed 
on  a  further  charge  of  having  stolen  $40,000 
in  notes  from  the  Consolidated  Bank  of  Mon- 
treal, and  of  having  forged  the  name  of  the 
Oaahler  of  the  bank  to  the  notes,  had  a  second 
hearing  to-dav  and  was  released,  the  prosecution 
ha\-ing  failed  to  prove  that  the  accused  had 
either  tittere<jl  or  attempted  to  utter  the  notes  in 
question.  It  is  imderstood  thatthenotes,  which 
are  in  the  hands  of  the  detectives,  have  been 
attached  by  representatives  of  the  Montreal 
Bank.  Baynes  is  a  young  Englishman  of  fine 
personal  appearance.

days  has  passed  oil;  ^nlth  ielat.  Tbeweatherms 
close  and  sultxr  during  tlie  morning  hours,  bnt  on  the 
grand  stand  there  was  a  refrel^hing  breeze  which  waa 
thoronghly  appreciated  by  the  spectators.  At  the 
close  of  the  racing  a  thnnder-storm  oecnrred,  bnt  the 
spectators  reached  the  hotels  before  any  rain  felL  The 
four  events  afforded  a  lai^e  field  for  speenlatlon, 
and  all  of  them  jrere  brilUantly  contested.  The  first ' 
was  the  great  snrprlse  of  theiday.  being  won  by  Bill 
Bass,  who  sold  low  in  the  pools.  Viceroy  captured 
the  mile  and  three-qoarten  inr  Messrs.  Carr  A  Co^ 
which  was  the  first  Tictoryj  for  the  stable  at  this 
meeting.  The  mile  heats  wal  won  by  Bradamante, 
as  expected,  and  the  fourth  rice  was  brilliantly  fin- 
ished by  Partnership  and  Fait  Play  ronnlng  so  close 
that  crretybody  proclaimed  it  a  dead  heat^  but  the 
Judges  gare  it  to  Psrtnershlp.  The  mutual  pools 
pftid  as  follows:  First  rac^,  Bill  Bass,  f20  50; 
second  race,  Viceroy,  $21  40;  third  race,  Brada- 
mante, $8  40  each  heat;  fpurth  race,  Fair  Play, 
$X1  50.  

THE  RACING  I^  DETAIL, 

THE  THBEE-QUAB^RS  DASH. 

The  first  event  was  a  free  handicap  dash  of 
three-quarters  of  a  mile,  for  all  ages,  which  had  six 
entries,  namely :  Bwyer  Brothers*  Bhadamanthus, 
Crawford's  Grit,  Mulkey's  Chiquita,  Smythe's 
Madge,  Price's  BUI  Bass,  and  McDanlel's  Major  Bar- 
ker. Tho  Bpecnlation  on  thei  result  was  very  dose. 
RhadamanthuB  had  been  a  great  favorite  until  just 
before  the  start,  when  Chiquita  was  better  ^thought 
of,  and  brought  within  $20  ot  the  favorite.  One  of 
the  last  pools  sold  was  as  follows :  Bhadamanthus, 

$100  ;  Chiquita,  $60  ;  Bill  Bass,  $(>0  ;  Madge,  $iO; 
Major  Barker,  $30.  and  Grit,  $30.  The 
horses  ^rere  mastered  In  the  sectional 
track,  as  usual  in  three-quarter  dashes,  and  after 
three  false  attempts,  were  sent  off  to  a  -very  poor 
start.  Major  Barker  getting  away  first.  Grit  second. 
Bill  Bass  third,  and  Chiquita  in  the  rear  of  the  lot. 
As  thev  went  down  the  chute  Chiquita  ran  very  fast, 
and  was  soon  among  the  leaders.  AVhen  they  turned, 
into  the  rejnilar  track,  at  the  half-mile  pole,  she  was 
leading  a  lensth.  Bill  Bats  behig  second,  a  neck  in 
front  of  Rhadamanthiis,  who  was  lapped  by  Maja». 
Barker  ;  Madge  fifth,  and  (Jrit  iu  the  rear.  As  they 
came  round  the  lower  turn .  Chiquita  held  her  own  for 
a  short  distance,  but  soonp^hadamanthus  closed  up  on 
her,  and  wss  followed  up  by  Bill  Bass.  Chiquita 
kept  half  a  length  in  front  of  them,  however,  until 
they  tamed  iuto  the  home  strctcli,  -when  the  mare 
beiran  to  qait,  and  both  Rhadamantfaas  and  Bill  Bass 
gave  her  the  go-by.  When  thoy  reached  the  fnriong 
pole  Rhadamanthus  and  Bill  BaRs  were  on  even 
terms,  and  there  was  a  grand  struggle  between  them. 
At  one  moment  it  looked  as  thouch  Rhadamanthus 
would  prove  the  winner,  but  Bill  Bass,  under  the 
influence  of  the  whip, .got  to  the  front  a  short  dist- 
ance from  home,  and  won  the  race  in  l:17ifl  by  a 
neck  from  Rhadamanthas,  who  was  two  leoj^hs 
ahead  of  Madge,  she  beating  Major  Barker  by  a  head 
only;  Grit  was  fifth,  and  Chiquita  stxtlH. 

THE  MILE  AKD    THBEE-^UABTEBS. 

The  second  event  on  the  card  was  another  £ree° 
handicap  of  a  mile  and  three-quarters,  wUehhad  eight 
noi^iinAtions  and  seven  starters.  These  were  liOng- 
BtafTs  Shylock,  Oarr  &  Co. 'a  \"iceray,  Bryw>n'sGalw»y, 
Hart's  Henry  Owens,  Doswell's  Rappahannock,  Mc- 
Danlel's St.  James,  and  Medinger's  Wash  Booth.  Al- 
though Shylock  had  been  the  favorite  from  the 
time  the  entries  were  pasted  until  this  morning, 
there  was  a  decided  change  when  the  judges  rang  the 
saddling  bell,  and  Shylock  sank  to  the  third  {KMdtion 
in  the  pools.  Galway  brought  $150,  Viceroy  $130, 
Shylock  $125,  Owens  $100.  Rappahannock  $100, 
St.  James  $75,  and  'Wash  Booth.  $60.  The  lot  were 
started  in  the  chute,  and  there  waa  another  wretched 
startjIJenry  Owens  getting  away  first,  Viceroy  sec- 
ond, Waeh  Booth  third,  St.  James  fourth,  while  Rap- 
pahannock'was  se%'eral  lengths  in  the  rear.  As  they 
ran  down  the  chute  St.  James  ran  into  the  sec- 
ond place,  and  was  followed  up  by  Shy- 
lock,  when  they  turned  into  the  regular  track 
at  the  half-mile  pole,  Henry  Owens  set  oat  to  make 
the  running  as  fast  as  possible,  and  he  showed  three 
lengUis  in  advance  of  St.  James,  who- was  half  a 
length  before  Shylock.  Coming  rotmd  the  lower 
turn.  Shylock  moved  up,  and  took  the  second  posi- 
tion from  St.  James,  leading  the  latter  half  a  lengtli, 
and  the  pair,  mnning  in  thw  position  closed  to  with- 
in two  lengths  of  Owens,  and  Wash  Booth  was  f ourth. 
In  this  way  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch,  when 
Viceroy  came  up  from  the  rear  and  ran  Into 
position.  WTien  they 'finished  the  first  three-quar- 
ters of  a  mile  Henry  Owens  was  only  half  a  length  in 
front  of  Shylock,  who  was  three  lengths  ahead  of 
Viceroy,  he  being  the  same  distance  before  St. 
James."  with  Wash  Booth  lapping  him,  fifth,  Rappa- 
hannock sixth,  and  Galway  in  the  rear.  Going  round 
the  turn  Shylock  kept  closing  up  to  Henry 'Owens, 
and  when  ifiey  passed  the  quarter  pole  they  were  on 
even  terms,  two  lengths  In  advance  of  Viceroy,  who 
was  a  length  and  a  half  before  St.  James,  As  they 
went  along  the  back  stretch  Henry  Ovrens  began 
to  show  the  whtte  feather,  and  ,  Shylock 
foTfied  half  a  length  in  front  of  him. 
wh5e  there  wai  only  half  a  length  of  daylight  between 
Owens  and  Viceroy,  St.  James  being  at  the  latter's 
tail.  When  they  approached  the  half-mile  pole  the 
rear  ones  closed'up  very  rapidly,  while  Owens,  com- 
pletely "  jumped,  fell  to  the  rear.  Passing  the  half- 
mile  pole  tjhylock  pushed  a  length  in  front  of  Viceroy, 
who  waa  ju-^t  his  length  before  Galway,  Rappahan- 
nock, St.  James,  and  Wash  Booth,  who  were  so 
close  tocetlier  that  a  blanket  could  have  covered 
them.  Ou  the  lower  turn,  tho  race  began  in  earnest, 
andHuches  sent  Viceroy  along  at  his  best.  HesooncoH. 
lared  Sh yl<tf  k.  when  there  waa  great  excitement,  and 
when  he"  finally  came  to  the  front  Ms  backers  were 
jubilant.  Was'h  Booth  had  come  third  again,  Rappa- 
hannock fourth,  and  St.  James  fifth.  When  tbey 
turned  into  the  home  stretch  Viceroy  was  etill  in  the 
lead,  while  Wash  Booth  seemed  to  have  taken 
second  place  from  Shylock,  and  looted  very  danger- 
ous at  the  furlong  pole.  Shylock,  however,  came 
acain  and  assumed  the  second  place,  and 
frnight  de.Tperately  to  OTertake  Viceroy,  but 
only  succeeded  in  getting  to  the  latter's 
saddle  skirts.  Hnghea  then  pushed  Viceroy 
to  do  bis  best,  and  he  reached  the  goal  the  winner  by 
three-quarters  of  a  length  In  SiOsi^-  In  the  mean- 
time, Galway  and  Wash  Booth  came  along  with  a 
oplcndid  brush,  and  Shylock' onlv  beat  them  for  sec- 
ond place  by  a  neck,  the  Jud^s  declaring  a  dead  heat 
between  Galway  and  Booth  for  third  place ;  Rappa- 
hannock fifth,  "St.  James  sixth,  and  Ilenry  Owens 
seventh, 

:  THE  HEAT  RACE. 

The  third  event  of  the  day  was  a  free  handicap  of 
mile  heats,  which  was  regarded  as  almost  a  certainty 
for  Bradamante  over  her  two  competitors.  Lady 
Salvers  and  Partnership.  This  Is  one  of  the  mys- 
teries of  the 'handicapping  system.  It  is  supposed 
that  it  is  the  handicapper's  business  to  equalize 
horses  by  raising  the  weight  on  one  and  taking  It  off 
another,  and  It  certainly  seemed  that  there  should  be 
more  than  one  pound  difference  between  Bradamante 
and  Lady  Salyers,  taking  Ihelr  performances  as  a 
criterion.  Under  the  circumstances  Bradamante  was 
a  decided  favorite  over  the  field,  and  brought  In  the 
pools  $200;  Lady  Salyers  $80,  and  Partnership 
$75. 

Firgt  Heat. — Partnership  delayed  the  start  by  frac- 
tiousness,  and  three  attempts  were  made  before  the 
flag  fell,  when  Lady  Salyers  had  the  beet  of  it  by  a 
length.  Bradamante  second,  a  neck  in  front  of  Part- 
nei-ship.  Croing  round  the  turn  she  increased  her 
lead,  and  passed  the  quarter  pole  two  lengths  in 
front  of  Bradamante.  who  was  the  same  distance  be- 
fore Partnership.  Going  along  the  first  half  of  the 
back  stretch  Barrett  forced  Lady  Salvers  to  the  top 
of  her  speed,  and  she  got  three  lengths  away 
-  frvmi  Bradamante,  while  the  latter  was  the 
same  distance  before  Partnership,  but  going 
nearer  to  the  half-mile  <■  i>ole  Lady  Salyers 
began  to  lose  ground.  She  led  Bradamante  two 
lengths  at  tliat  point,  while  Partnership  moved  up. 
and  there  was  only  half  a  length  of  daylight  between 
Bradamante  ajid  him.  When  they  czime  around  the 
lower  turn,  Sayres  pushed  Bradamante  forhorran. 
and  she  speedUy  overtook  Lady  Salyers  amid  the 
cheers  of  her  ifackers,  while  Partnership  was  four 
lengths  behind.  The  two  fillies  ran  together  past  the 
furlong  pole,  when  Lady  Salyers  gave  It  up,  and 
Bradamante  came  home  an  easy  winner  by  three 
leneths  in  1:43 lo.  Lady  Salyers  waa  three  lengths 
in  mint  of  Partnership. 

Stcwid  Heat — Bradamante  sold  for  $100,  Part- 
nership, $40,  and  Lady  Salvers  $10.  After  some 
delay  PartnefBhip  cot  away  a  length  ahead  of  Brada- 
ipante,  who  was  the  same  distance  ahead  of  Lady 
Salyers.  Partnership  being  well  under  way  before 
Bradamante  got  her  stride,  he  was  enabled  to  lead 
her  three  leogths  on  the  turn,  and  Lady  Salyers  was 
at  the  tall  of  Bradamante.  Passing  the  quarter  pole 
I^irtnentbip  was  still  three  lengths  in  advance  of 
Bradamante.  who  was  two  lengths  before  Lady  Sal- 
vors. As  they  ran  along  the  back  stretch  there  was  a 
length  of  daylight  between  each  of  them,  but  when 
they  reached  the  h&lf-mile  pole  Bradamante  dosed 
up,  and  when  thev  came  round  the  turn  she  rapidly 
got  to  the  head  of  Partnership,  and  turned  iiAo  the 
noma  stretch  In  the  lead.  She  was  a  length  ahead  of 
the  btg  horse  at  the  furlong  pole,  and  then  came 
away  while  Partnership  waa  under  the  wh5p.  and 
won  the  heat  and  race  hy  three  lengths  in  I:43i2. 
Partnership  was  second,  eight  lengths  ahead.of  Lady 
Salyers,  Partnership  getting  second  money.

OBITUASY, 


DR.  ALPHTUS  BEJCKTKG  CR08BT. 
A  press  dispatch  ^m  Hanover.  N.  H.^  ss^ 
that  Dr.  A.  B.  Crosby,  of  this  City,  died  there  yee-^ 
terday.  Dr.  Crosby  was  bom  In  Hanover,  gradnatea 
at  Dartmouth  College  and  at  the  Dartmotith  MedimlJ 
School,  and  for  some  time  practiced  in  that  village. ; 
He  waa  also  a  lecturer  in  the  Medical  School  air' 
Hanover,  but  for  several  years  he  has  Uved  in  thiJ 
City  at  No.  19  West  Porty.seventh-street,  -and  haS 
Ifrtured  at  Bellevue  and  other  medical  Institutiouai 
in  the  City.  He  has  also  had  a  wide  practice  in  thlsl 
vldnity,  and  was  one  of  the  best  read  and  XBOst 
ekiUful  physidans  aad  surgeons  In  the  eotintry.  He^ 
was  about  42  years  old.  In  the  absence  of  Am&4 
zdte  informatian,  we  presume  hia  death  to  hava 
'been  caused  by  the  workings  of  a  deadly  virus  thag 
entered  hi**  system  through  a  trifling  wound  froxo, 
his  Boalpel  while  dissecting,  many  years  sga  Tha 
poison  was  never  driven  from  Ms  blood,  and  had 
caused  him  much  suffering  and  annoyance.  Dr.* 
Crosby  -belonged  to  a  femCly  of  maijced  abilxtT,! 
whose  saembers  have  evinced  a  notable  tendency-toi 
put  themselves  In  the  very  front  rank  of  their  ehoseiil 
profession  or  vocation.  His  father.  Dr.  Diil  Crosbyi 
— hlmaelf  the  son  of  a  famous  Kewi-^^nspshire  phyal-' 
dan  of  three  generations  ago — ^was  one  of  the  most, 
eminent  physcians  and  surgeons  in  Kew-£nglan^> 
He  was  bom  In  the  little  town  of  Sandwich,  N.  H.,^ 
in  1800,  and  began  the  practice  of  medicine  iu  tiie 
neighboring  town  of  GUmanton.  The  reason,  of  lijw. 
settling  there  waa  curious,  and  strikingly  iIlastrat«B ! 
one  of  the  fsznlly  traits.  While  pursuin:;  hia  medicall 
studies  he  had  in  some  way — we'  believe  it  was  inJ 
connection  with  the  "resurrection"  of  a  body  f^ 
purposes  of  dissection — incurred  the  pronounced  dis-j 
like  of  the  entire  |>opulation  of  GUmanton.! 
Keverthelesa,  he  determmed  to  open  an  office  tiwre.| 
explaining  to  his  as'ionished  father,  who  remonstrated; 
■with  him.  on  the  hopelessacsB  of  professional  suec««si 
in  the  face  of  such  obstacles,  that  he  waa  detertolnedt 
to  "stay  there  and  live  the  thing  dovm."  Kot  »; 
patient  did  he  have  for  a  year,  but  one  day  an  Iri^ ' 
woman,  seeking  in  hot  haste  some  doctor  to  rescue! 
her  baby  from  the  Mony  and  peril  of  cholera; 
infantum,  overcame  her  scrnples  and  called- 
him  in.  This  Httlo  incident  broke  the ! 
Ice.  and  the  young  Doctor  speedily  built  up  an  excel-; 
lent  practice.  Htivhig  cleared  Jiis  name  of  every 
stain,  ne  at  ouee  quitted  the  to'wn  and  went  to  Han-j 
over,  where  he  was,  up  to  theStime  of '  his  death  la' 
1873,  one  of  the  chief  Professors  and  lee-' 
turers  in  the  Dartmouth  Medical  SdiooL  Thej 
noted  Greek  echolax.  Alpheos  Crosby,  imthor  of! 
the  Greek  grammar  so  long  nsed  In  our  con('«:ea,; 
was  a  brother  of  Diil ;  another  brother  of  extensive;  • 
acquirements  in  botany  and  materia  medica  was  Dr.; 
Thomas  R.  Croshr,  wHo  died  at  Hanover  a  few  yearai 
ago.  Dr.  Ben  Crosby— for  none  of  his  friends' ever! 
Imewhim  by  any  other  name  than  "Bon" — waa  a' 
doctor  whose  professional  repute,  though  it; 
was  high,  was  exceeded  by  his  social  popn-l 
larity.  He  was  the  most  genial  of  men.! 
There  was  cheerfulness  in  his  very  presence,  and  his! 
oouversation  abotinded  In'  ^e  richest  huroor.j 
Whether  In  the  sick-room,  when  the  depressed  spirits; 
of  some  suffering  invalid  were  to  be  cheered ;  in  tho 
social  circle,  or  when  callrd  upon  on  con\ivial  occa-t 
slons  to  respond  to  a  toast,  he  never  lacked  for  s' 
droll  story.  And  his  stories  ■were  always  aprwsite.  I

speeches  have  been  a  feature  sometimes  hardly  sec- 
ond in  points  of  interest  and  relish  to  the  dinner  It- 
self. His  aoquaintanre  among  men  prominent  in 
professional  and  business  life  in  this  City  was  wide, 
and  to  hundreds  of  friends  the  news  of  hisi 
death  wlU  bring  a  Fense  of  irreparable  loss.; 
Dr.  Croshr  was  a  man  of  varied  culture,  andi- 
dlsplayed  tne  fruits  of  his  well-stored  mind  in  many' ' 
papers  on  medical  snbjeeta,  read  before  societies,  ana 
in  lectures  for  general  hearers.  At  the  Dartmouth 
Commenrement  in  1872  he  delivered  a  eulogv  on  tho 
life  and  character  of  Dr.  Lord,  the  revered  ^esideuii' 
of  the  college,  who  died  In  1870,  that  was  at  qw»

John  Xx>rden  is  a  brush  and  broom  peddlen 
living  at  Ko.  120  Johnson-avenue.  Williamsbnzg. 
For  a  month  past  he  has  compli^ed  bitterly  of  slack 
business,  and  to  curtail  expenses  has  'allowed  hii 
wife  and  seven  children  only  a  half  loaf  ot 
bread  and  an  otmee  of  t^a  daily,  he  mean- 
while endeavoring  to  forget  bis  trrrablea  in 
drink.  When  he  went  home  last  night  the  chlldxen 
were  crying  for  food,  and  hU  wife,  Margaret,  begged^ 
4ilm  to  give  her  enough  money  to  bay  some  meat  tot 
them,  but  he  reftused.  She  then  upbraided  him» 
saying  that  if  he  would  spend  the  mon^. 
on  his  family  that  he  epent  in  mm 
shops,  they  conld  -live  comfortably.  Tfaitf 
reflection  upon  his  habits  madd«ned«  him,- 
and  seizing  a  heavy  stick  of  fire-wood,  he  rushed  al 
her  in  a  drunken  rage,  shouting,  "If  you  don't   lik< 

what  I  give  you,  take  this,  you "  striking  her  re 

peatedlyupon  the  head-  He  continued  beatmg  her  afta 
she  had  fallen  to  the  fioor,  until,  al&imed  that 
ah  e  did  not  move,  he  ran  out  of  the  haus 
bareheaded,  and  down  the  street.  Some  neighbori 
who  knew  his  habits  suspected  mischief,  and  fo] 
lowed  him-  After  a  chase  of  several  blocks  he  wai 
caught  and  handed  over  to  Officer  Kit2er.  of  Ihij 
Sixth  Precinct.  On  returning  to  the  hotiee,  Mrs.  Lori

FrcmkovT  Own  CorrespondtiU. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  7,  1877. 
There  are  considerations  connected  with 
the  Ubor  movement  in  the  City  of  B^ti- 
more  that  are  very  far  from  having  been* 
exhausted  as  subjects  of  discussion  and 
exposition  during  the  recent  strike  of  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  hands  and  the 
Accompanying  riot  and  bloodshed.  It  is  true 
that  in  the  fight  between  the  soldiers  and  the 
mob  on  the  night  of  July  20  there  were  few,  if 
any,  railroad  men  concerned,  and  that  the 
name  of  not  one  of  them  appears  in  the  list  of 
billed  and  wounded ;  but  it  is  &  si°;nificant  cir- 
cumstance that  8  of  the  1 1  killed  were  work- 
ing men  who  had  only  a  few  hours  before  left 
their  benches  and  shops.  It  is  the  common 
cant  to  speak  of  them  as  having  been  innocent 
victims — mere  accidental  spectators  of  the 
Bcene,  who  were  caught  in  the  surging  crowd 
and  were  shot  down  by  the  troops  iSefore 
they  had  the  opportunity  to  escape  to^a  place  of 
safety.  Your  correspondent  ctiias  taken  the 
trouble  to  supplement  his  ,  own  observa- 
tions of  wnat  took  place  around  the 
Sixth  Regiment  Armory  and  the  occurrences 
fcfterward,  during  the  march  of  the  soldiers  up 
Baltimore-street,  by  those  of  conservatives  and 
other  eye-witnesses  of  the  events  of  that  terrible  . 
night,  and  I  feel  very  well  assured  that  although 
the  riot  was  commenced  under  the  leadership  of 
m  few  professional  roughs,  it  was  taken  up  and 
carried  on  mainly  by  actual  working  men  ;  and 
I  am  moreover  very  much  inclined  to  disbelieve 
that  those  who  were  killed  were  not  guilty  of 
participation  in  the  attack  on  the  troops.  The 
theory  of  their  innocence  was  pretty  well 
brushed  away  when  a  policeman  testified  to  find- 
ing a  huge  stone  in  the  pocket  of  one  of  the  dead 
men,  who  had  been  lamented  by  his  associates 
as  an  innocent  victim  to  assassination  at  the 
hands  of  the  Militia,  and  if  other  witnes.'^s  be- 
fore the  Coroner's  inquest  had  chosen  to  tell  all 
they  knew,  there  might  have  Ijeeu  revelations 
that  would  have  convinced  the  public  that  the 
bullets  of  the  Sixth  Regiment,  in  most  instances, 
found  their  way  to  men  who  had  courtedthe  fate 
they  met.  It  must  be  remembered,  too,  that, 
although  the  tiring  took  place  at  an  hour  when 
Baltimore-street  is  usually  crowded  with  people, 
only  two  men  who  were  not  working  men  were 
struck,  and  the  natural  deduction  is  that  there 
was  scarcely  anybody  on  the  street  except  those 
who  were  following  up  and  stoning  the  military. 
These  matters  are  not  recalled  for  the  pur- 
pose of  stirring  up  bitter  blood  or  to  found  any 
controversy  upon.  They  simply  occurred  to 
your  correspondent  as  being  tangibly  connected 
with  certain  developments  recently  manifei^ed 
among  the  working  classes,  and  as  prompting 
an  investigation  into  the  condition  and  feelings 
of  the  element  of  the  population  of  Baltimore 
that  earns  its  bread  by  skilled  or  unskilled  labor. 
I  have  spent  some  three  days  among  the  trades, 
but  before  giving  the  result  of  these  Inquiries  I 
ought  to  say  that  there  is  no  other  city  in  the 
X'nited  States  where  there  are  stronsrer  or  more 
complicated  bonda  of  union  among  working 
men.  ThLsiaa  remarkabh'  fact,  notwithstand- 
ing that,  in  proportion  to  population.  Baltimore 
is  the  least  important  of  the  great  manufactur- 
ing centres,  and  falls  far  behind  cititJj  that  are 
nowhere  near  it  in  the  number  of  iuliabitants. 
But  what  there  are  of  artisans  and  mechanics 
are  indissolubly  welded  together.  They 
have  their  unions  in  every,  trade  ; 
they  renew  and  strengthen  their  associations 
and  friendships  in  their  social  assemblies,  and 
They  meet  and  combine  again  in  the  secret  or- 
ders to  which  it  seems  an  unwritten  law  that 
every  Baltimore  working  man  must  belong. 
Take  them  all  througii  the  scale,  from  the  most 
skillful  mechanic  in  the  machine  shops  down  to 
the  hod-carrier,  and  one  finds  them  united  by  a 
bond  of  sympathy  that  is  certainly  more  perfect 
than  among  the  various  trades  elsewhere.  Keep- 
ing this  in  miud,  there  is  no  lUfficulty  in  under- 
standing why  the  working  element  was  ready  to 
back  up  the  railroad  strikers  even  to  the  extent 
b1  facing  the  musketry  of  the  Militia. 

THE  RECENT  STRIKE  PREMATUEE. 
in  the  course  of  conversations  with  the  most 
^telligent  representatives  I  could  discover  in 
the  difCerent  branches  of  labor,  a  tone  of  sul- 
len discontent  was  the  most  observable  feature. 
JJaturally.  my  first  inquiries  were  among  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  employes  who  had 
either  refused  to  return  to  work  or  whom  the 
company  had  refused  to  take  back.  I  found  a 
knot  of  them  at  a  favorite  rendezvous — a  tavern 
close  by  the  waterside  in  South  Baltimore — and 
listened  for  a  half-hour  to  their  complaints  and 
their  threats  of  what  nii^ht  yet  be  done  in  the 
future  to  crinple  the  railroad.  There  was  not 
much  to  be  gained  froim  them,  but  1  learned  of 
an  engineer  who  had  quit  the  road, 
and  who  was  spoken  of  as  the 
man  to  see  on  the  subject.  I  found  him,  and 
his  view;4  of  the  whole  labor  question  were  in- 
teresting enon^h  to  warrant  reproduction.  He 
Is  a  man  of  more  than  ordinary  intelligence, 
keen  and  (|uick  in  his  talk,  and  lias  a  way  about 
him  that  conveys  the  impression  that  he  is  any- 
thing else  but  an  enthusiastic  and  ignorant 
fooL  He  said,  in  the  first  place,  that 
he  had  left  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad  b«?cause.  under  the  10  per  cent,  re- 
duction, he  could  not  earn  enough  to  support  his 
large  family  decently^  and  he  thought  ne  could 
find  more  profitable  eonployment  elsewhere. 
But  he  soon  dropped  personal  matters  and  went 
on  to  more  important  subjects.  As  to  the  re- 
cent strike,  he  said  that  it  had. 'been  unwisely 
precipitated.  Away  back  in  the  Spring  the 
railroad  hands  on  the  trunk  lines  nad  been 
convinced  that  their  wages  were  to  be  cut 
down,  and  there  had  been  interchanges 
of  opinion  amom?  them  as  to  what 
Bhould  be  done.  *'\Vhy,"  said  my  informant, 
*•  we  had  delegates  here  in  Baltimore  from  the 
Pennsylvania,  the  Central,  and  the  Krie,  in 
May.  and  we  sent  men  back  to  them,  and  the 
whole  thing  was  thoroughly  talked  over  before 
any  orders  for  the  reduction  had  been  given 
from  either  Scott,  Vanderbilt,  Jewett,  or  (Bar- 
rett. Thsere  were  conferences  here  and  in  Pitts- 
burg and  in  Jersey  City,  and  the  railroad  officials, 
with  all  their  smartness  and  their  detectives, 
never  dream^'d  of  what  was  going  on  right  un- 
der their  noses.  Well,  the  upshot  of  it  all  was 
that  there  was  a  general  imderstanding  that 
there  should  be  a  errand  strike  against  the  re- 
duction of  pay.  Now,  young  fellow,  I  am  going 
to  tell  vou  Hometliing  that  none  of  the  newspa- 
per men  have  got  hold  of  yet.  "We  had  no 
notion  of  striking  in  the  Sunmier.  All  of  us 
old  railroad  Taim  knew  that  the  companies  would 
have  the  whip  hand  of  us  then,  because 
there  would  be  little  business  doing,  and  they 
could  get  along  with  the  blacklegs  and  the 
green  hands.  Our  programme  was  to  accept 
the  reduction  without  a  murmer,  work  straight 
along  until  the  Fall  business  wa:^  at  its  height, 
then  to  demand  an  increase  of  pay  from  Garrett, 
Scott,  Vanderbilt.  and  Jewett,  and  if  it 
was  not  at  once  granted  to  strike  as 
quick  as  a  stroke  of  lightning,  and 
drop  trains  wherever  they  might  bo  at  any 
point  along  any  road.  We  think  we  would  have 
won  the  fight  on  that,  but  the  freight  firemen 
and  brakemen  on  the  Baltimore  'and  Ohio 
knocked  the  whole  plan  to  tlinders  by  striking 
too  soon.  I  don^t  know  that  I  can  blame  them, 
fOr  the  company  wanted  to  send  them  up  the 
road  on  starvation  wagea,  and  then  make  them 
eat  up  what  little  pay  they  got  while  thej 
were  waiting  for  a  traiu  back ;  but  if 
they  could  have  stood  it  until  October, 
we  should  all  have  ptit  in  our  big  licks  at  onco 
on  every  road,  and  no  soldiers  would  have  save<l 
the  companies  then.  Of  course,  when  the  strike 
commenctMl  here,  the  men  on  the  other  roads 
were  prematurely  dragged  into  it  before  our 
arrangements  were  ntule,  and  so  I  may  sav  that 
for  the  present  we  have  been  whipped  in  detail, 
while  as  a  unit  we  would  have  been  in- 
'  vincible."  Your  correspondent  endeavored  to 
draw  this  man  out  b^  questions  as  to  whether 
the  original  intentions^  of  the  confederates 
might  not  yet  be  carried  out  by  a  simultaneous 
strike  later  in  the  year,  but  on  this  point  he. 
was  wary.  All  he  would  say  was  that  people 
who  though  the  trouble  was-  ended  had  made  au 
lnynonse  mistake.  The  roadd  had  all  promised 
the  men  that  they  would  get  more  pay  when 
--**^— <■  kMcama  bettec  _  •'  aow«''j0»id  In.  "  ve 


know  well  enough  that  in  the  Fall  bnslxLes:  will 
be  a  great  deal  better,  and  all  the  roads  wfil  be 
earning  money.  If  the  men  consent  io  be 
starved,  that  stockholders  may  be  paid  their 
10  per  cent,  dividends,  then  they  are  ^g^^T 
fools  and  cowards  than  I  take  them  to  be.'^ 
THE  SULLEN  SPIBIT  OB"  WOEKING  MEN  |  GEN- 
ERALLY. 

This  sort  of  talk  very  fairly  represeni 
spirit  and  feeling  of  the  railroad  Toj&n. 
work  and  the  vast  throng  who  sympathizej  with 
them.  Among  all  the  trades  with  whom  I 
talked  there  was  not  one  in  which  I  did  not 
find  an  ugly  temper,  both  with  reference  tp  the 
use  of  military  force  iii  subduing  the  strik^  and 
their  own  relations  to  their  employers,  ^mall 
wages  and  lack  of  steady  employment  werie  the 
burden  of  the  complaints.  Even  the  tin  can 
makers  were  growling,  although  it  was  onfy  the 
other  day  that  they  struck  for  better  pay  and  got 
It.  This  branch  of  .indugtry  is  importopt,  as 
It  furnishes  cans  !  for  the  great  oyster 
and  fruit  packing  establi^unents  that  abound 
here.  In  the  shoe  factories,  the  machine  shops, 
and  all  the  minor  divisions  of  labor  there  was 
the  same  discontent.  A  deep-seated  aniiposity 
exists  on  account  of  the  killing  of  working  men 
by  the  Militia,  and,  as  a  speaker  jat  a 
labor  meeting  asked,  "  Do  we  sijpport 
these  shoulder-strapped  gentry  to  sh(»)t  us 
down  when  ask  for  bread  P'  So  youj  may 
hear  the  same  sentiment  repeated  everywhere 
among  working  men,  in  and  out  of  emploj-pient. 
Those  who  have  work  will  say  that  thi  y  are 
scarcely  any  better  off  than  those  who  ar<  idle. 
Those  who  once  earned  $35  or  $30  pei  week 
now  think  it  fortunate  if  they  get  $12  ori  $15, 
and  they  ask  how  they  can  pay  honse  rent  feed, 
clothe,  and  rear  their  ^amilies'on  that.  A  id  yet 
Baltimore  has  not  50  tenement-hous  )3  in 
its  limits,  and  working  men  moatlj  live 
in  homes  of  their  own.  Just  here,  howe  rer,  is 
another  source  of  trouble.  Thousands  <  f  me- 
chanics have  bought,  houses  t^rou^h  building 
associations  on  the  plan  of  paying  in  so  much 
per  month.  They  were  doing  well  enoug  i  with 
their  payments  untU  the  commercial  depression 
threw  them  out  of  work  or  reduced  theii  earn- 
ings to  such  a  small  figure  that  they  [  could 
put  by  nothing  with  which  to  meet  thei 
Tlie  mortgages  which  they  gave  to  seci 
associations  have  in  a  m'ultitudei  of  in! 
been  foreclosed,  the  property  sold,  and 
lucky  mechanic  has  thus  been  turned  out  (of  his 
home,  and  lost  every  cent  of  the  money  w-hich 
h^had  paid.  There  are  other  grievances,  and 
as  they  are  paraded  one  can  hardly  woAder  at 
the  desperate  and  vicious  fashion  in  whioh  men 
talk.  -  [        - 

POLITICAL  AGITATION  AMONG  THE  WORKING 
IMEN.  j 

Already  the  whole  affair  has  assumed  a|  politi- 
cal bearing.  As  it  the  working  people  did  not 
have  associations  enough,  they  have,  since  the 
riot,  started  what  they  call  *'  Labor  Lyceums," 
one  in  each  ward  of  the  city,  at  whicp^  they 
meet  to  take  action  looking  to  the  Eforma- 
tion  of  a  working  man's  party,  under  the 
direction  of  a  central  organization.  The  Demo- 
cratic or  Republican  politicians  were  waiped  off 
from  these  meetings,  but  some  of  the  notorious 
old  wire-pullers  of  each  side  have  been  making 
themselves  prominent,  and  are  endeavoring  to 
turn  the  current  to  their  atlvantage.  The 
movement  appears  to  be  engineered  byja  mys- 
terious body  that  calls  itself  the  Executive 
"         '"  '  '       body      must      m(jet      in

It  may  be  mentioned  that  this  jourm 
Communism  in  an  audacious  fashion  ti 
recommended  it  to  a  very  hea\*y  circj 
among  the  laboring  classes,  and  I  supp 
the  spirit  of  any  element  of  a  comluumty 
may  bo  rather  fairlv  gauged  w  the 
sort  of  nrinted  opinions  it  hangs  its  faith 
upon.  Luckily,  the  Democrats  hadi  maile 
their  nominations  for  the  General  Assembly 
before  the  strike  occurred,  and  now  th^y  have 
nothing  of  consequence  ahead  of  them  in  the 
city  except  to  make  up  a  ticket  for  the  (jouncil. 
There  need  be  no  surprise  if  the  working  men 
do  put  a  legislative  ticket  in  the  field  and 
elect   a   portion    of   it.     There  are  plenty    of 

f>eople  outside  of  laboring  men  who)  would 
end  their  aid  to  such  a  movement, 
simply  to  put  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Ejailroad 
on  the  rack  and  extract  from  it  a  confesiion  of 
its  raiil  financial  standing,  that  is  believed  to 
have  been  conrealerl  or  falsified  in  the  reports 
of  President  Garreqt.  There  are  man>|  causes 
for  disturbances  inside  and  outside  of 
politics  as  October  draws  near,  land  I 
much  misjudge,  the  signs  of  the  times  if 
the  fruits  of  the  late  strife  have  all  bean  har- 
vested as  yet.  The  -  working  people  aire  in  a 
frame  of  mind  that  is  dangerous,  and  nothing 
but  such  a  revival  ot  business  as  will  give 
them  all  enough  to  do  at  ■  goon  pay 
will  keep  them  out  of  the  political 
field  as  a  united  body  or  prevent 
them  from  supporting,  morally  or  physically. 
their  comrades  in  any  branch  of  labor  vhio  may 
be  the  first  to  renew  actively  the  war  wijth  capi- 
tal. And  in  saj-iug  this  I  do  not  mean!  to  in- 
clude among  them  the  ruffians  andj  rabble 
of  thie  town,  who  are  always  j  ready 
for  a  row.  At  a  distance  Ii  mav 
seem  absurd  that  the  ^Maryland  Militia  pre  still 
kept  in  camp  around  Baltimore  or  under  arms 
at  the  armories,  but  tiuj  authorities  unaerstaud 
perfectly  the  situation  which  is  herein  de- 
scribed, and  feel  that  it  would  not  bi  safe  to

over  six  miles,  when,  seeing  that  he  could  not  possi-

E  lore 


of  as  formerly,  through  their  Captahu,  they  gaia  very 
little  hisi^t  of  conunerdal  matien,  and  the 
short  time  they  are  at  sea  Is  not  sufficient  to  make 
them  experienced  seamen.  In  a  business  point  of 
view,  they  do  not  appear  to  have  an  Idea  of  the  value 
of  time — will  refuse  freight*  offered,  and  accepted 
meanwhile  by  others,  hoping  that  they  may  risa 
later  on,  but  not  *f^^'pc  into  coualdarstion  the  ex> 
pensea  dally  incurred  while  the  vessel  la  earning 
nothing.  1*0  be  sodable  is  in  thfl  nature  of  the 
Prench.  TJie  few  officers  he  may  have  tmder  his 
command  are  not  sufficient  for  the  French  Captain ; 
geseraUv  he  is  on  the  most  friendly  terms  with  hla 
crew,  wno,  to  use  a  common  phrase  of  the  country, 
^^iUnavigueni  *n  /amiUe."  This  familiarity  must 
(^rtalnly  undermine  discipline.  The  French  mar- 
itin^  law  tends  to  strengthgn  this  feeling  of 
doubt  as  to  the  thorough  competent  of  the 
Captain,  for,  although  he  is  styled  as  Maitre  apr6$ 
jWcu  of  the  vessel  he  commands,  he  must  neverthe- 
less consult  the  whole  crew  in  all  cases  of  emergency ; 
hence  a  cause  for  the  longpassages  made  by  French 
vessels  as  compared  with  Eogliah  iwesels.  la  It  to  be 
expected  that  a  sailor  who  has  no  other  iaterest  than 
to  earn  his  wages  with  as  little  fatigue  as  possible 
should  decide  to  risk  his  life  or  limbs  in  rough 
weather  when  the  choice  of  putting  into  a  port  and 
waiting  for  more  favorable  winds  is  in  his  power ! 
The  knowledge  of  this  law  is  quite  sufficient  to  make 
the  orders  of  the  Captain  subservient  to  the  will  of 
the  crew.  On  the  ouier  hand,  French  sailors  from 
some  parts  of  the  coast  of  Prance,  when  well  com- 
manded,, make  excellent  crews.' " 


AN  ANNOYING  VISITOR. 


HOW  AN  IXSANE  WOMAN  VEXED  A  GOOD  CITI- 
ZEN OP  BOSTON  AT  AN  UNTIMELY  HOUB 
OP  THE  NIQHT. 

From  the  Eoiton  Tranteript,  Av^.  7. 
A  short  time  affo  a  South  End  family  had  a 
strange  visitor.  The  first  noticed  of  ^the  stranger's 
presence  was  a  peculiar  movement  at  the  front  door, 
about  3  o'clock  In  the  morning.  The  oecuj»ants  list- 
ened, bat  there  appeared  to  he  no  tampering  with  the 
lock  directly,  and  they  came  to  the  conclusion  that  a 
bui^lar  was  boring  his  way  In.  The  lord  of  the 
household  forthwith  dressed,  and  as  he  moved  to- 
ward the  door  the  stranger  stepped  through  the 
porch  to  the  sidewilk.  The  window  was  opened  to 
get  a  peep  at  the  night  caller,  but  the  fijnuw  vanished 

inside  the  storm  do^r.  The  perplexed  man  hesi- 
tated a  minute,  but  finally  boldly  pushed  for  the 
door,  which  he  opened  suddenly  upon  the  intruder — 
a  comely  woman  of  middle  age  and  good  address,  but 
evidently  slightly  demented.  She  had  chosen  the  re- 
cess between  the  storm  and  inner  doors  as  a  dormi- 
tory, and  was  well  under  way,  in  proper  female  fash- 
Ion,  in  her  preparations  for  bed.  "  Don't  shoot !"  she 
implored ;  '*  I'm  no  hou5e-breaker,  I  can  assure  you.  If 
you'll  only  listen  to  mystery,  It'a  not  long."  Our 
friend  is  a  kind-hearted  and  patient  man.  and  he  al- 
lowed her  to  proceed-  She  began  with  her  early  life, 
her  tongue  was  a  busy  and  ver>'  proper  one,  and  her 
yam  was  so  full  of  knotty  incidents  and  tangled  di- 
versions that  her  listener  began  to  fear  that  she 
would  never  spin  it  alL  To  his  further  erabarross- 
ment,  the  woman  continued  to  disrobe  in  a  n«r\'ous 
way.  talking  gUbly  meanwhile,  till  she  was  reminded 
that  the  doorway  was  not  a  sleeping  apartment. 
*'  Excuse  me,  Sir,  I  am  so  nervous  ;"  and  she  pro- 
ceeded with  the  story  of  her  life,  and  soon  again 
with  her  preparations  for  sleep.  After  Ustening 
awhile  to  her  history,  and  vwnly  for  the  footstepB  of 
the  night  patrtd,  the  nnwilUng  entertainer  agam  re- 
minded his  guest  that  his  stoop  was  no  fit  place  for  so 
d^habUU  a,  costume,  advised  her  to  move  on  as  soon 
as  shu  could  don  her  garments,  and,  being  satisfied 
that  she  wa.s  harmless,  retired  to  his  chamber. 

The  unfortunate  w^oraan  wa.<!  afterward  olHwrved 
by  the  neighl»ors.  through  the  half-open  outer  door.

proraenaoing  the  narrow  xpace  in  Bearrh  of  this.  that, 
and  the  otiier  article  of  apparel — now  a  string,  then  a 
hair-pin— with  an  occoslojml  "Odear!"  and  "Good 
gracious !"  for  nearly  on  hour.  At  times  she  would 
give  up  in  despair,  throw  everj-thing  to  the  tloor.  and 
at  the  end  of  the  hourj  shen  the  householder  reap- 
peared^ she  WAS  no  n^rer  a  condition  to  appear  in 
the  street  than  when  ho  la-st  left  her.  "  i  am  so 
nervouB !"  she  again  exclaimed  by  way  of  excuse  for 
her  long  delay,  and  renewed  her  story. 
taking  her  start  this  time  from  infancy.  Em- 
barmisod  beyond  measure,  for  It  was  now 
dawn,  the  gentleman  was  compelled  to  interrupt  Iter 
with.  "Vou  must  drean  yourself,  madam,  for  the 
PoUce  will  take  you  through  the  streets  as  you  are  I" 
He  could  not  ask  her  in,  for  his  wifo  was  ill.  sensi- 
tive, and  tfrrififil.  The  leferrnee  to  the  Police 
Kt*einod  to  have  it^  effect,  however,  and  as  tlie  light 
grew  stronger,  the  pour  woman  managed  to  see  and 
feel  her  way  to  a  complete  toilet,  and  after  arrang-

she  departed  in  goodonler.  declining  os.iistance,  as

She  was  evidently  a  tramp  of  the  l>etter  sort,  for-

k  CRIMINAL'S  CARL  Eli. 


AVHEBE  JAMES  BRADY  WAS  BORN  AND  PASSED 
HIS  EARLY  LIFE — HIS  FIRST  CRIME. 
j  From  the  Troy  Presi,  Avff.  7. 
And  now  that  Oscar  I>.  Patterson,  alias  Jim 
Brady,  has  become  so  noted  a  criminal  and  desperado, 
a  few  facto  concerning  his  early  life  and  antecfdeuts 
will  be  of  some  interest  to  our  readers.  Jim  Brady 
first  saw  the  light  of  day  and  posse^l  his  early  years 
in  an  old  frame  building  at  what  is  called  the  junc- 
tion on  that  point  of  land  opposite  the  present  Troy 
and  Cohoes  horse  railroad  bam.  at  Cohoes.  It  is  said 
by  those  that  should  know  of  such  affairs,  that  he  in- 
herited his  pourltant  for  det^d3  of  crime,  oa  his  father 
bad  ft«rved  at  leii-st  one  term  in  prison  for  crimes 
commfit*'d.  Of  his  boyhood  years  littlo  is  known, 
except  that  his  as.soeiatP'*  were  not  of  the  best.  If  he 
followed  the  URual  gradations  In  crime,  he  was  suc- 
cessful In  concealing  the  traces,  as  his  tirst  advent  as 
a  principal  in  crime  was  I>etwcen  10  and  11  years 
agt>,  when,  in  company  with  a  young  man  named 
Latta.  he  attacked  a  man  on  Olmstead-slrf^t.  Cohoes, 
and.  chokiinr  liitn  into  silence.  robt>ed  him  uf  a  gold 
watch  and-  chain  and  a  sum  of  money.  Tlie  crime 
was  traced  to  the  por]»etratorM.  and  tho  officers 
sUrteti  Oil  the  htfnt  for  them.  OfHcer  Delve  first  got 
on  Bradv>  track,  who  nin  up  Rwmsen -street,  where 
OflScer  liodgson  met  him;  anti  felled  him  to  the  earth 
with  the  butt  of  a  pistol,  and  he  was  taken  to  the 
Station-house.  Hodgson  disguised,  sought  out  Latta, 
and  .soon  had  him  in  custody.  They  were  in  the  sta- 
tion-house about  one  week,  when  they  broke  out  in 
the  evening  and  escaped.  It  was  learned  afterward 
that  they  took  refuce  In  a  culvert  under  the  canal,  in 
rear  of  liogues  block.  Here,  with  the  water  dripping 
down  upon  them,  they  parsed  the  night,  and  Latta 
contracted  a  cold.  They  proceeded  to  New-York,  and 
Lotta;  taken  sick,  came  home  to  die.  Afterward  Sergt. 
Stoats,  afterward  Captain,  heard  of  Brady's  where- 
abouts in  Xew-York  and  telegraphed  for  nis  arrest. 
He  was  taken  In  custody  and  forwarded  to  Cohoea. 
He  was  placed  on  trial  for  the  highway  robbery. 
when  Jolm  Latta  cjime  forward  and-  saved  him  from 
punishment  by  swearing  that  his  brother,  while  on 
his  death-bed,  confessieti  that  he  alone  committed  the 
robbery,  and  that  Brady  waii  innocent.  Improbable 
as  thi»  Htory  was,  he  was.  discharged  on  the  evidence, 
and  shortly  afterward  proceeded  to  New- York  where 
he  has  earned  hinself  so  unenviable  a  reputation  as 
a  criminal  and  desperado.  Brady's  mother  and  sis- 
ters are  still  residents  of  the  City  of  Cohoes,  and  dur- 
ing the  post  10  years  have  received  a  number  of 
visits  from  him,  wneu.  weary  of  crime,  he  sought  rest 
or  refuse  from  the  officers  of  justice.  , 

A  MODEST  CmCAGOAN. 

The  Chicaj^o  Tribune  has  the  following  in 
reference  to  one  H.  C  Prcese  of  that  city  :  '*  During 
the  late  unplea-santness  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Hal- 
itead-street  viaduct  he  volunteered  his  services  in 
the  cause  of  law  and  order.  He  joined  Capt.  A^ra- 
monte's  cavalry  company,  and  acted  for  a  couple  of 
days  as  First- Lieutenant.  Having  achieved  military 
greatness  he  became  very  noisy.  Capt.  Agr&monte 
was  obliged  to  put  him  under  arrest,  for  the  rea^n 
that  he  acted  more  like  a  rioter  than  a  soldier.  Kow. 
that  the  piping  flays  of  peace  haVe  returned,  Freoae 
thinks  he  is  entitled  to  some  mark  of  recognition. 
In  order  to  get  it  be  has  caused  the  circulation  of  a 
subscription-paper,  couched  as  follows  :

PAIXFVL  EFFECTS  OF  A  SPIDER'S  BITE. 

The  Lancaster  (Penn.)  New  Era  of  th&  7th 
inst.  says :  "  Last  week  Rev.  J.  B-  Soule,  Pastor  of 
the  Church  of  God,  of  this  city,  visited  Cumberland 
County,  and  while  riding  on  the  cars  a  small  spider 
bit  him  on  the  hanA.  There  was  a  stinging  sensation, 
but  Hr.  Soule  paid  little  attention  to  it  until  this 
week  when  his  hand  became  very  much  swollen  and 
Inflamed,  and  finally  broke  into  a  couple  of  small 
running  sores.  The  entire  left  arm  pains  him,  and 
hU  only  relief  is  found  in  applying  oak  leaves  to  the 
wound  and  holding  his  hand  and  arm  in  an  easy  poei- 
tion ;  if  he  permits  his  haud  to  drop  in  the  natural 
way  he  suffers  intense  pain."

it  was  impossible  to  meet  their  views  without  au  in-

UNITED    STATES     SUPREME    COURT 

I 

I>SOISION  IN  EQUrrr— WHEN   JtJDGMENTS   AT 
"LAW  WJLh  NOT  BX  ENJOINED. 

WashinotonJ  D.  C,  Aug.  9.— The  following 
decisions  have  been  rendered  by  the  United  States 
Snpii&me  Court: 

Ko.  197— John  B.  Crim,  appellant,  vs.  John  M. 
Mandley  et  oZ.— Appeal  from  the  Circuit  Court  of  the 
United  States  forithe  Southern  District  of  Georgia. 
— Courts  of  equity  will  not  enjoin  judgments  at  law 
unless  the  complainant  has  an  equitable  defense  to 
the  cause  of  actlotn  of  which  he  could  not  avail  him- 
self at  law.  becatise  it  did  not  amount  to  a  legal  de- 
fense, or  where  he  had  a  good  defense  at  law  of 
which  he  was  prevented  from  availing  himself  hy 
fraud  or  aocddent,  unmixed  with  negligence  of  him- 
self or  his  agenta.  (Hendrickaon  vs.  Hinckley,  17 
How.,  445.)  Where  a  party  has  failed  to  moke  a  proper 
defense  through  Negligence,  a  court  of  equity  will 
not  enjoin  tlie  judgment,  but  where  it  appears  that 
such  a  defense  has  been  prevented  by  fraud  or  acci- 
dent, without  fault  of  the  losing  party,  a  court  of 
eqtdty  may  grant  rehef  if  the  proofs  ore  satisfac- 
tory. <Hungerfbrd  vs.  Gigerson.  20  Id.  161.) 
Sufficient  appears  to  show  that  goods  of  great  value 
were  fiwned  by  the  mercantile  firm  of  J.  W.  BufBng- 
ton  &  Co..  and  that  they,  on  the  Istday  of  February. 
1868.  sold  the  same  to  the  firm  of  King,  Crim  & 
Co.,  William  Peeples,  one  of  the  old  firm,  entering 
the  new  firm  which  made  tlie  purchase.  Pay- 
ment of  the  price  was  made  at  the  time 
of  the  purchase,  less  ^,51)1  G4,  for  which 
the  purchasing  firm  gave  to  the  vendors 
four  promisaonr  notes,  payable  to  the  creditor  firm 
or  bearer  on  the  Ist  days  of  April,  May,  June,  and 
July  next  ensuing,  with  Intere.Ht.  Debts  of  the  old 
firm  were  still  outstanding,  for  which  Peeples.  of  the 
new  firm,  was  liable,  and  for  hts  security  the  fotir 
notes  given  hy  the  new  firm  were  deposited  in  the 
hands  of  a  third  person,  with  the  understoudmg  that 
the  depositary  was  to  hold  the  notes  for  that  pur- 
pose, BO  that  when  the  debts  of  the  old  firm  were 
presented  they  might  be  paid  by  Peeples  or  the  new 
firm,  and  in  thatjevent  tne  amounts  paid  were  to  be 
credited  on  the  notes  in  the  haudn  of  the  depositary 
Subsisting  liabilities  j>f  the  old  firm  were  pre 
seated  for  payment,  and  were  paid  by  Peeples,  of  the 
new  firm,  but  the  record  shows  that  controversy 
arose  respecting  the  same,  and  that  the  depositary  of 
the  uot«8  refused  to  allow  the  credits  to  be  made  on 
the  notes  pursuant  to  the  original  understanding. 
Instead  of  that  he  caused  one  of  the  notes  to  be  nut 
in  Btdt  to  enforce  payment  of  the  same.  Pending  that 
suit  the  new  firm  brought  a  blU  in  equitj*  against  the 
depositary  and  the  old  Hrm  to  compel  the  respondents 
to  carry  the  uuderstouding  into  effect.  Wnat  they 
prayed  was  that  the  pa>'ments  thus  made  sliould  be 
indorsed  on  those  notes,  and  they  also  claimed  a 
credit  for  worthless  cotton-seed  sold  to  them  when 
they  purchased  the  stock  of  goods  of  the  old  firm. 
Litigation  ensued,  but  in  the  \'iew  taken  <if  the  case 
it  will  not  be  necessary  to  enter  veiy  fully  into  those 
details.  Suits  ,  of  eamiahment  'were  also  insti- 
tuted In  behalf  of  the  creditors  of  the  old 
firm  against  the  dflx^ositary  of  the  notes,  and 
during  their  pendency  the  notes  were  placed  in  the 
hands  of  certain  attorneys,  with  directions  that  the 
notes  be  put  in  suit  in  tlie  name  of  the  agent  of  the 
creditors  prosecuting  the  suits  of  garnLshmeut. 
Pursuant  to  those  directions,  the  agent,  .Tuines  M. 
Handley,  onthe|14th  of  April.  1B73,  sued  the  ap- 
pellant, and  P»^ples.  us  fiar\'i\*ing  partner  of  tlie 
new  firm  wldch  gave  the  notes,  (•ounllu-r  on  those 
notes  as  Indorsee  against  the  makers.  Service  was

he  had  jm^viouKly  bot-n  adjudged  a

the  (cround  that  at  tlie  trial  one  of  tho  witnesses  was 
so  aJCHicted  with'  pain  that  he  could  uot  remember  tho

Alice  Rowei  of  No.  92  Chatham-street,  has

charges.  Haying  tliat  they  are  manufactured  by  liis

while  the  otht-r  slaters  swore  that  ho  has  always 
treated  hU  wfe  and  four  children  with  "  mftrkenl  con- 
sideration and  jaffection  at  all  times."  Judge  Lnrre- 
more     ordered:    a     reference     yesterday   to     take 

J  roofs  and  report.  Mary  Abrahams,  wifo  of 
(icob  Abralfanm.  a  merchant  tailor  of

vorce from  herlhusband  on  the  ground  of  cruel  and 
Inhuman  treatment,  she  alleiring  that  he  was  in  the

fendant, to  wliom  yestecdav  Judge  I*arrcmore  granted 
a  decree  of  divorce  from  hLs  gentle  spouse. 


WHAT  COXSTITVTES  A  FERRY f 
A  prellnainary  Injunction  was  granted  some 
time  ago  rostroiuing  tho  Harlem  and  Xew-York 
Steam-boat  Navigation  Company  from  continuing  to 
run  their  boats  between  this  City  and,  Astoria.  Long 
Island,  and  the  matter  came  np  in  Supreme  Court, 
Chambers,  yesterday,  l*fore  Judge  Van  Brunt,  on 
a  return  to  an  order  to  show  cau^e  why  the  injunc- 
tion should  not  bu  mado  permanent.  Kx-Judge  Mc- 
Gown  appeared  for  tho  Cvtmpauy  and  Corporation 
Counsel  WTiitney  for  tho  City.  Ex-Judge  McGoWn 
contended  that  the  point  made  that  the  stop- 
ping of  the  boats  at  an  intermediate  plof-e 
constituted  a  ferry,  and  made  it  obligatory 
that  the  company  *  should  obtain  a  frandiiso 
from  the  City  in  order  to  thiw  run  their  boats,  was 
erroneous,  and  guoted  Webster  to  show  that  a  ferry 
proper  was  from  point  to  point  across  a  river,  and  did 
not  cover  plying  up  and  down  a  river.  It  would  be 
as  reasonable  to  coll  the  steamers  which  plied  on  the 
Hudson  to  NewbuTg  and  other  place*  ferry-boats. 
Tlie  stoppagw  of  the  company's  boat.''  would' greatly 
inconvenience  the  residents  of  Astoriu  doing  busi- 
ness in  New- York.  He  cited  from  the  old  Dougan 
Charter  to  show  that  the  Citv.  in  onler  to  establish 
a  right  to  a  ferry,  should  first  locate  it  by  some  legis- 
lative enactment.  These  boats  had  been  running  so 
long  unmolested  that  the  City  had  virtually  aban- 
doned any  right  which  it  might  liavu  hod  against 
them.  Mr.  Whitney  argued  that  the  City  had  a  right 
to  run  a  ferrj-  or  to  forbid  (me  rynninp  without  a 
license.  I'nuer  a  recent  decision  of  the  (ieneral 
Term  of  the  Superior  Court,  invohing  a  similar  state 
of  facts  tu  those  easting  in  the  preseut  case.  It  was 
held  that  to  run  a  fe-rr>-  a  company  must  have  a 
liceu.se.  Thw  pl>'iug  of  boats  between  the  Citv  «ud 
Afltoria  constUuted  a  ferry  to  all  intents  and  pur- 
poses.   Judge  Van  Brunt  resen"od  his  decisiou. 

A  QUESTIOX  AFFECTIXG  TBE  REVEXUE. 
While  Peter  Mullen,  the  second  steward  of 
the  steam-ship  Clyde,  which  arrived  in  port  on  Monday, 
was  leaving  the  ship  on  Tue.suay  eveuing  last.acitl7.cn 
called  the  attention  of  an  officer  of  the  Seventh  PoUco 
Precinct  to  the  fact  that  Mullen  was  carrying  away 
several  packages  from  the  ship.  Mullen  was  accord- 
ingly arrested,  and  in  his  possession  were  found  three 
bundles  containing  100  packages  of  cigarettes.  The 
prisoner  was  arraigned  before  United  States  Coni- 
mlssiouer  Shields,  yesterday,  and  stated  that  the 
Custom-house  officer  who  had  come  aboard  tho  Clyde 
on  the  previous  day  had  told  hini  he  might  take  the 
bundles  ashore,  and  that  he  had  taken  them  ashore  in 
accordance  with  the  permission  thus  granted.  As 
tills  granting  of  permission  to  take  dutiable  goods 
ashore  in  small  quantities  without  passing  them 
throughithe  Custom-house  is  known  to  be  a  common 
occurrence,  Commissioner  Shichls  an<l  the  United 
States  District  Attorney  proposed  to  make  Mullen's 
case  a  test  one,  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining 
whetlier  the  CuHtom-house  authorities  have  anv  righ.t 
to  pass  goods  simply  by  their  own  option.  Ifulleu 
was  releaseil  on  his  own  recoguizauce  to  appear  for 
examination  this  afternoon. 


HOXOR  AMOXG  THIEVES. 
On  July  2  sneak  thieves  entered  tho  office  of 
Henry  A-  Chapln,  No.  24  Park-place,  through  a 
window,  and  carried  off  a  blue  frock  coat  valued  at 
$40.  Mr.  Chapin  informed  the  Police  of  the  theft, 
and  Officer  Byrne,  of  the  Twenty-sixtli  Precinct, 
was  detailed  to  work  up  the  case.  He  arrested 
Frank  Kelly  and  Charles  Watson,  two  Fourth  Ward 
characters,  who  spend  their  days  loitering  around 
the  City  Hall  Park,  and  they  were  identified  by  a 
bootblack  named  Abraham  Kronenberg  as  the  two 
men  whom  he  hod  seen  climb  the  coping  and  enter 
the  window  of  Mr.  Chaplu's  office.  Watson  had  the 
atolon  coat  on  when  arrested,  and  both  he 
and  Kelly  vigorously  resisted  the  officer. 
When  the  pair  were  called  to  tlie  bar  of 
the  Court  of  Greneral  Heasions  yesterday  by 
Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring,  Kelly  promptly 
acknowledged  the  theft,  and  was  incessant  in-bu 
protestations  of  the  inno<.-ence  of  his  companion. 
Ha  was  ao .  aaniAst  in    hia  atatementa  that  Jndim 


Suthexiand  sent  for  &t>nenberg,  who  was  confined 
in  the  House  of  Detention  as  a  witness,  and  ques* 
tioned  him  as  to  the  identity  of  Watson.  Kronen- 
berg said  Watson  was  not  the  man  who  accompanied 
Kelly,  thus  corroborating  the  statements  of  the 
latter.  Judge  Sutherland  thereupon  ordered  the 
discharge  of  Watson  and  sent  Kelly  to  State  Prison 
for  one  year.

I  cannot  sufficiently  thank  you  for  vour  kinld- 
ness  in  publishing  In  your  paper  the  facts  as  they 
trangpired  in  the  suits  instigated  and  growing  out  of*. 
the  settlement  of  tho  estate  of  the  late  John  A, 
Merritt.  Vour  love  of  truth  is  more  conspicuous 
from  the  fact  that  the  l^rUmne  and  Herald  have  re- 
fused t<t  niaUe  corrections  in  relation  to  this  mat- 
ter, although  I  have  repeatedly  called  attention  to 
errors  which  have  appeared  in  those  papers  from 
time  to  time.  I  feel  it  my  duty  to  vtudicate  the 
memory  of  John  A.  Merritt,  and  refute  the  Infamoiu  > 
charges  brought  against  him.

MORE  REPUDIATED  TOWX  BONDS. 
The  Supreme  Court  of  lUiuois  has  decided^ 
that  certain  bonds  issued  by  the  town  of  Lacon,  in 
that  State,  as  a  subscription  to  the  capital  stock  of  a 
railroodcompanyaome  years  a|>o  were  illecallyifisued, 
and  are  therefore  void-  The  facts  of  the  c^so  are 
thus  stated  by  the  Chicago  Triiuiw:  "On  Dec  22, 
18G8,  an  election  was  held  in  the  town  of  Locon. 
Marahall  County,  at  wldch  a  majority  of  the  votes 
cast  were  iu  favor  of  a  subscription  by  the  toHm  of 
$GO.00()  to  the  capital  stock  of  the  Hamilton.  Lacon 
and  Eastern  Railroad  Company,  ^t  the  time  the 
election  was  called  and  held  no  law  was  in  force  which 
authorized  the  election  or  conferred  po^ver  upon  the 
town  to  vote  upon  the  question.'  or  in  any  manner  to 
become  a  stockholder  Iu  the  railroad  company.  On 
March  5,  1MG9.  the  Legislature  of  Illiuois  passed  an 
act  which  declared  this  election  '  hereby  legalizod  and 
made  biudinz  and  valid,  notwitlist&udins  thw^  was  - 
no  law  existing  at  the  time  said  election  was  l^ld 
authorizing  tlie  poople  of  said  township  to  vote  for 
subscription  to  the  capital  stock  of  said  company.* 
Tliis  act  .further  provided  that  tJie  Supervisor  m  ake  a 
valid  and  binding  subscription,  and  issue  bondt.  &c 
Tho  Supervisor  accordingly  subscribed  S^tiO.- 
000,  Rud  iu  due  time— iu  March,  1871 — the 
Super\'isor  and  clerk  Issued  and  delivered 
tlie  GO  bonds,  each  for  $1,000.  boarine  10  per<c«nt. 
interest.  The  court  held,  as  it  had  hehi  in  pre\dous 
cases,  that  the  liegislature  h.ad  no  power  uuder  the 
Constitution  to  pasa  a  law  rendering  the  election  and 
subscription  valid,  as  the  csffect  would  be  to  com^^el 
a  municipal  corporation  to  incur  a  debt  for  purely  a 
local  municipal  purpose  ;  and  tliat  tlie  lyc^slatir^ 
could  not  authorize  a  Supervisor  aud  Town  Clerk  to 
create  a  corjx>rate  debt  %\ithouta the  consent  of  tbe 
people  expressed  at  the  polls,  as  the  power  to  Impoae 
taxes  or  to  create  a  corporate  debt  is  not  incident 
to  their  powers.  The  oonds  iu  this  cane  recited 
on  their  face  that  they  were  issued  under  the 
election  of  December.  18G§,  and  tlierefore  there  woa 
due  uotitx'  to  the  purchaser.  These  bonds  are  noU 
voidable,  but  void.  This  decision  applies  not  meroly- 
to  this  case,  but  to  a  laree  class  of  oonds  iasued  un-,. 
der  similar  laws  passed  hy  the  Xjcgialaturo  *  curative ' 
of  previously  notorious  illegalities.  Though  theso, 
bonds  have  been  issued  some  years,  the  question  ht» 
not  been  raised  regarding  them  until  now,  though. 
the  same  point  has  long  since  been  decided  iu  others 


A  CHURCH  INCIDENT.  . 

The  Bostou  Traveller  narrates  the  followili;^  :l 
"  An  Essex  County  clergj'man  preached  a  nuuiqg 
temperance  discourse  last  Sunday .-^n  which  he  spoke 
in  strong  terms  of  tlie  evils  of  the  liquor  traffic,   uot^ 
forgetting  the  sales  in  places  that  liave  a  pretense  to« 
respectability.    As  he  made  one  strong  point  aftarli 
another,  his  hearers  were   touched,    and  expreasedi; 
their  satisfiactlou  by  applause.   nnaUy,  as  he  readk^dl! 
his  climax,  an  excited  hearer  rose  to  hia  feet,  >iadi 
forgetting  the  day  and  the  place,  shouted  out — '  Kdw, 
then,    three    oluaera  for  the  minister!*      Th«  dfl*d*' 
silence  that  followed  brought  the/Hum  to  hla

\  CENTRALIZATION. 


ToAeBdUoroffheKew-Yorlt  Tim*»: 

In  your  issue  of  4th  inst.,  under  the  liead 
of  **  Railroads  and  States,"  you  say : 

**  Business  exigencies  and  individual  greed  and  an 
bition  have  re^utloniied  th**  conditioius  of  mlroai' 
management.  We  have  "  railroad  syj-teins"  insteac 
of  iKUr<i«d«.  and  the  head  of  each  syjetem  is  ii*  lil^  ■^•aj 
kingly  and  despotic.  The  Pennsylvania  R^lroad.  foi 
instance,  not  content  with  absolute  sway  in  the 
State  from  which  It  derived  its  original  privileges,  <n 
with  tho  virtual  ownerahip  of  the  Ijegislature  t< 
which  it  turns  for  local  laws,  ha*  grown  into  th- 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  system,  and  issues  ordeni  that 
are  obeyed  In  we  know  not  how  many  different 
States.  •  •  •  Who  can  pretend  that  an  organize*! 
money  and  business  power  like  this  nhould  l»e  sub- 
ject only  to  the  centrol  of  a  Legislature  whidi  it  car- 
ries In  its  pocket  T— that  a  power  which  has.  at  i:a 
bock  and  call  an  army  of  ^*oters,  aud  a  patronage 
equal  to  that  possessed  by  the  (rbvemments  of  hall 
a  dozen  populous  St^oes.  should  be  indei>endont  of 
all  regruations  save  those  made  by  the  States  it 
which  ita  infhieoce  is  felt.'^. 

And  you  concluded*  **  Federal  interventioi 
will  sooner  or  later  be  inevitable.'' 

Now,  I  submit  to  you  whether,  havinp:  your 
self  been  largely  instrumental  in  building  u^ 
this  sTstenif  it  is  not  rather  unkind  in  you  tc 
ttim  upon  this  magnificent  specimen  of  itr  the 
Pennsylvani*  Railroad  ?  Always  vehemently 
advocating  the  31cCuUoch-Sherman  policy  of 
contraction  of  the  currency,  you  have  aided  in 
taking  away  from  the  people  that  instrument  ol 
association,  the  greenback,  which  gave  them 
power  and  independence,  and  iu  its  steac 
substituted  an  inflated,  centrtdized  credit 
system.  As  a  result  of  this,  the  enterprise  ot 
the  country  was  obliged  of  necessity  to  look  to 
a  railroad  sTStezn  which  conld  be  biiilt  uj»on  and 
developed  by  means  of  bonds,  lalrgely  sold  ir 
Europe.  The  great  roads  being  able  to  float  al 
most  unliinitfd  amounts  of  bonds,  swallowed  u; 
the  small  aad  weak  ones,  through  guaraalecs 
losses.  &c.,  and  hence  we  have  the  **Pennsyl 
vania  Railroad  system  "  of  which  you  complaia. 
Had  you  left  with  the  people  a  volume 
of  money  such  as  we  had  at  the 
dose  of  the  war.  commerce  among  them 
woild  hove  been  ea-sy  aud  rapid,  and  There 
would  have  been  ample  outlets  for  Americun 
energy  and  enterprise  without  resorting  to  the 
excessive  development  of  the  railroad  system  ol 
the  country  simply  because  it  could  be  done  by 
the  issue  and  sale  of  bonds — a  device  denied  to 
aJl  other  branchei*  of  business.  We  should  not 
t&en  have  had  the  bankrupt  railroad  system 
that  we  now  have,  but  one  which  developed  a* 
wanted  by  means  of  cash  would  have  l>ee«  ■ 
sound,  stable  and  prosporou.s.  The  prf<oiiT  rail 
road  system  of  the  l'nited  States,  ninc-tcnllu 
bankrupt,  and  oiie-tenth  arrogant  and  over- 
bearing, and  having  "  the  virtual  9wuersliip  of 
the  Loffislatures  "  of  tlwa  States,  is  the  <'hi!«i  ,Qf 
Hugh  fllcdjlloch,  Gt'orgo  S.  Boutwell.  .Tohn 
Sherman,  and  "  the  Metropolitan  Pres^s."  t  'li^irge 
it  not  upon  **  business  exigencies*  and  iodl\idua] 
greed,"  but  upon  a  vicious  ayslem  whlrh  .-oabor-  " 
dinates  the  commerce  of  the  countr>*  to  an 
arbitrarily  limited  volume  of  money.  wIiL-n  the 
commerce  should  itself  fix  the  volume  of  that 
money — its  mere  instrument, 

A  credit  system  of  such  a  character  as  that 
which  succeeded  the  cash  systeju  of  the  war  is 
in  itself  and  its  fruiw  centralization  enou^rh.

THE  FIRST  SENATORIAL  DISTRICT. 
To  the  Editor  of  the  Xe^t-  York  Timrs  :  , 

In  reading  tiie  communication  with  the  above 
title  in  Thb  Times  of  t«-d*y.  I  could  not  avoid  feel- 
ing surprise  at  the  lack  of  correct  iuformation  on  ihe 
part  of  the  writer.  He  speaks  of  the  saffcssive 
elections  of  Mr.  Prince  ai»  having  been  galnt'd  by  the 
aid  of  the  '*  machine ;"  that  in  his  campaigns  he  was 
alwa^'S  assisted  by  the  cuatributions  nf '  uffice-holders 
tn  the  district,  &c.  Is  it  possible  that  any  Republican 
iu  that  district  does  uot  know  tltat  Mr.  Prince  hu» 
always  opposed  the  "machine."  and  been  opposed  by 
it)  Does  not  that  writer  remember  that  the  "ma- 
chine" defeated  Prince's  nomitiotion  for  Attoruty- 
General  two  years  ago,  and  that  the  *'  office-holders  " 
tried  to  prevent  his  election  to  the  Chicago  Conveu* 
tion  in  1&68.  and  the  Cini:tuilh.tiCouventioniu  ISTti  i 
If  that  writer  hod  been  well  informed  he  would  have 
known  that  it  was  not  help.from  the  "  machine."  but 
a  safe  and  satiafactor>'  conduct  of  the  local  ot^irs  'rt 
the  district,  which  produced  Mr.  Prince's  successive 
majorities. 

Am  matter  of  fact,  Mr.  Prince  lias  been  full  as  ear- 
nest on  advocate  of  ci>-il  service  reform  as  Mr.  i-'ur- 
tis,  though,  ot  course,  not  so  proinUient-  Ever  siiii-*» 
the  first  efforts  of  Mr.  .Tenckes  iu  Congress  he  hfts  ^ 
been  an  active  supporter  of  the  reform,  although  he 
does  not  believe  m  the  new  idea  of  preventing  ofliee- 
holders  from  performing  thtir  civil  duties,  which  ho 
regards  as  a  degntdation  of  the  service,  and  ss  no 
true  part  of  ci\4l  service  reform.  Of  course,  thera 
can  be  no  pos.sible  objection  to  the  nominatiun  of 
Mr.  Curtis  as  a  candidate  for  the  Senate.  He  would 
be  a  most  creditable  and  distinguished  one.  But  It 
should  not  be  forgotten  that  Mr.  Curtis  has  once  been 
a  candidate  In  that  same  district  aud  failed  to  develop 
any  strong  j>ersoual  vote.  The  Democratic  nuoorirv 
in  1875  was  about  2. TOO.  and  Mr.  Prince  ran  &heu^ 
of  the  Republican  tickei  3,6Ut>.  being  felectwi  by 
900.  This  year  the  party  mojoritv  will  probably 
not  be  over  l.SOO,  which  will  be  easier  tot  some  one 
to  overcome.

tion of  tlie  political  faith  of  Senator  Blaint:. 
On  questions  which  have,  for  the  present, 
ceased  to  be  matters  of  public  interest,  the 
resolutions  have  a  great  deal  to  say; 
on  questions  which  are  uppermost  in 
men's  minds,  very  little.  Tlie  South- 
«ru  policy  of  the  Administratiou 
Ss  condemned  l>y  implication,  though 
the  platform-makers  have  abstained  from 
making  any  direct  attack  on  the  President. 
The  indorsement  of  civil  service  reform,  as 
recently  defined  and  enforced,  is  vague, 
Bnd  is  made  the  occasion  for  gloriljaug 
the  integrity  of  the  citizens  of 
ilaine.  "Encouraging  legislation "  and 
"  incidental  protection  "  are  a.ssimied 
to  bo  the  chief  requirements  of 
the  industrial  interests  of  the  country  :  tlie 
financial  plauk  demands  a.  currency  redeem- 
able in  gold  at  the  date  to  which  the  Gov- 
ernment st.ands  pledged  ;  no  change  in  the 
naWgation  law,  no  more  subsidies,  and  tlie 
reaffirmation  of  the  validity  of  tlie  Presi- 
dent's title,  constitute  the  other  portions  of 
the  platform  wliich  possess  any  general  in- 
terest. The  platform  will  be  read  chiefly 
for  the  sake  of  the  stniup  speech  which 
Senator  Bl-UXE  has  contrived  to  insert  in 
Us  belly. 


■  It  is  little  short  of  miraculous  that  the  ac- 
cident on  the  Xow-Jersey  t'entral  Kailroad 
at  UceanjjOit  yesterday  was  not  attended 
with  a  vory  serious  .sacrifice  of  life.  As  it 
isj  seventy  persons  have  been  more 
or  less  seriously  injured,  and  one 
or  two  are  not  expected  to  survive.  The 
aceideut  was  evidently  caused  by  the  gi-oss 
carelessness  of  the  briilgo-keeper.  It  is  in- 
conceivable that  the  impact  of  the  train 
could  have  raised  the  lever  by  which  the 
catches  are  worked  which  keep  the  bridge 
in  its  place,  and  the  uncoui>ling  of  tho 
<lnn<W  in  the  face  of  an  advauTT 
ing  train  was  an  act  of  criminal 
iiegligence  Ahich  it  is  difliciUt  to 
■characterize  loo  strongly.  While  no 
railroad  m;uiagement  can  shut  out  the  possi- 
■bility  of  disaster  from  a  suddeu  lit  of  reck- 
lessness .  on  the  part  of  some  responsible 
servant,  any  more  than  it  can  provide 
against  a  concealed  flaw  in  a  thoroughly 
tested  axle,  it  would  be  interesting  to  know 
▼.■hether  thi.s  bridge-keeper  was  selected 
fend  }>aid  -nitli  some  reference  to  tho 
exacting  nature  of  his  duties,  and  whether 
the  demands  of  his  day's  work  were  such  as 
to  leave  bim  ample  time  and  energy  to  take 
every  possible  precaution  to  insure  the  safety 
of  tt.e  daily  hundre<ls  of  human  lives  vir- 
tually committed  to  his  charge. 


-^he  somewhat  widely  advertispd  celebra- 
tion of  the  formation  of  tho  Free-soil  Party, 
v/hich  was  held  near  Boston  yesterday,  did 
Mot  quite  fulfill  public  expectations.  Pbs- 
I  sibly  the  understanding  that  the  affair 
Was  origimited  by  a  geiitleinan  who  played 
the  part  of  Kcnerou-s  host  on  the  occasion 
pive  a  merely  social  cli.iracter  to  what 
might  have  been  a  very  imposing  and 
etirring  aimiversary  fete.  Xmie  of  the 
famons  anti-slavery  men  of  Xew-England 
■were  present,  and  the  fact  that  the  chair 
■was  oecupieil  by  an,  illustrious  person  who 
■was  the  latest  Dtfeiocratio  candidate  for 
Gfjvemor  of  Massachusetts  seems  to  have 
hrid  a  cliilly  effect  on  tho  assemblage. 
|l'hough  tlie  ceieOration  was  by  no  means  as 
fine  as  i[r.  Bowen's  Fourth  of  July  at

The  Russians  continue  to  fare  badly  in 
Bulgaria.  Another  defeat  at  I'levna  is  re- 
porter, and  though  the  news  comes  from 
Tirrkish  sources,  people  are  disposed 
to  treat  Constantinople  telegrams  witli 
rs.ther  more  respect  than  they  did 
a.  Suvf  weeks  ago.  Our  special  cable 
dispatch  (rives  some  gra|phic  details 
of  the  Russian  repulse  at  Loftcha,  (Lovatz,) 
and  it  is  tolerably  clear  that  a  very  decided 
concentration  of  force  will  be  necessary  to 
save  the  army  of  invasion  from  being 
beaten  in  detail  or  hopelessly  demoralized. 
Some<of  the  causes  of  tho  recent  ill  success 
of  tho  Ru.s8ians  will  be  found  very 
fully  outlined  in  tho  letter  of  our 
Bpecrial  con'espondent  at  Giurgevo.  To  his 
trarnod  observation,  there  is  nothing  but 
shiftlessness  and  waste  apparent  in-*the 
Ejissian  Commis.sariat  system,  and  the  same 
crareless  e.xtravagance  seems  to  prevail  in 
fhe  transport  and  preservation  of  mn- 
^tiona  of  war.  The  wonder  is  that 
men  who  are  badly  fed,  badly 
jled,  and  indifferently  armed,  shotUd 
fight  ■  so  well  as  they  have  done  iu  their  re- 
centattaeks  on  Turkish  positions.  Of  course, 
tho  •  teaching  of  very  tragical  experience 
■will  hardly  be  lost  on  the  Kussians,  and 
the- advantage  of  numbera  and  resotiTces  is 
BtiH  on  their  side.

on  TJnited  Stat*  rations  until  next  Simmer, 
it  is  not  likely  that  any  such  terms  will  be 
offered  them.  Sitting  Bull  has  beet  an  ex- 
pensive and  mischievous  ward  of  the  nation. 
Driven  into  a  comer  by  the  Army,  lie  fled 
into  Canada  to  avoid  capture  or  sur  ender, 
He  cannot  come  back  as  long  as  the  1  rentier 
continues  to  be  as  well  guarded  as  it  s  now. 
If  he  wants  to  return  to  his  reservat  on  and 
keep  the  peace,  he  must  be  stripped  before

for  that.  They  will  find  the  commun  cation 
interesting,  and  possibly  amusing.  A  man 
who  can  gravely  talk  about  "thd  cash

a  contributor  to  popular  entertainrient  in 
this  weather.  Hardly  less  unique  is  he  as- 
sertion that  the  great  railroads  were  built 
with  money  borrdwed  from  abroad  bicause 
the  greenbacks  were  contracted — a  notion 
which  can  only  be  fully  appreciate!,  by  a

amounts  of  railroad  loans  in  Kiirope.

Por  the  purpose  of  maintaining  a  con:  istent 
record,  it  may  be  necessary  for  Kepul 
to  pronounce  judgment  on  the  course 
Hayes  Administration  toward  the  Sou  h,  but 
for  all  practical  objects  the  question  is  dead. 
All  indorsement  of  !the  Administratioi  may 
add    to    its    moral  I  strength      in     th'  i 

preaching  session  of  C'ougre.ss. 
fusal  to  indorse  i  will  neither 
rupt  the  operaitiou  of  tho 
a*lopted,  nor  impair  the  force 
facts  on  which  the  Administration  rel 
its  justification  before  the  country 
the  Southern  question  having  been  n 
from  the  arena,  as  a  bone  of  coutentif  n  be- 
tween moderate  and  radical  Kepublic  ms,  it 
is  no  longer  available  in  the  warfare  be  tween 
the  two  national  plirties.  Grumble 
may,  the  essential  truth  is  too  plain  |to  be 
denied.  Old  causes  of  quarrel  are  fdr  the 
time  exhausted.  Old  cries  are  no  more 
availa'ole.  Events  may  renew  the  v  tality 
of  both  ;  but  until  they  do,  it  were  as  lensi- 
ble  to  beat  the  air  as  to  act  on  the  su  >posi- 
tion  that  tho  adoi«tion  or  rejection  of  tlhis  or 
that  resolution  relalting  to  tho  Soutl  will 
have  any  appreciable  effect  upon  the  popu- 
lar mind.  Other  topics  fill  it,  to  tlio  ;xclu- 
sion  of  the  sectionalism  long  predon  inant 
in  party  policy  ;  and  the  wisdom  or  weak- 
ness of  party  leaders  will  bo  demons  ;rated 
by  tho  manner  in  iwhich  they  prepf  re  to 
meet  the  altered  aspect  of  affairs. 

Mr.  Lamar  only  echoes  an  obvious  truth 
when ,  ho  emphasizes  questions  of  fii  anee, 
indn.sfry,  and  commerce  as  the  que  itions 
which  most  concern  the  country,  ai  d  on 
which  practical  legislators  will  desire  to 
eoueentrato  their  aitention.  There  are  Ke- 
publican  extremists  who  for  years  to  come 
will  go  on  talking  about  Mr.  ILvyes  a  id  tho 
South,  precisely  as  there  are  Demoiratic 
extremists  who  insist  that  Mr.  Hay'Es  '  title 
to  the  Presidency  shall  be  mad  b  an 
element  of  discoid  until  his  sue*  lessor 
enters  the  White'  House.  Wliat  then  f 
In  either  case  the  implacables  will 
bo  a  minority,  strong  enough,  peihaps, 
to  disturb  the  muddy  waters  of  par  ;isan- 
ship,  but  incapable  of  affecting  the  ct  rrent 
of :  events.  Beyond  doubt,  that  sets  in  a 
different  direction.  The  country  is  i:  ideed 
threatened  with  a  serious  danger — bui  it  is 
the  danger  incident  to  recklessness  am  I  bad 
faith  in  finance,  not  to  tho  po  isible 
disregard  of  constitutional  and  e(  uita- 
ble  obligations  on  the  part  of  the  S  outh. 
There  are  grave  causes  of  anxiety  c  n  all 
sides,  but  they  proceed  from  the  prosti  ation 
of  trade  and  industry  and  the  antag'  mism 
between  corporate  capital  and  more  o  r  less 
organized  labor^not  from  the  relatic  ns  of 
the  freedmen  to  their  former  o^  ners.

themselves  with  sympathetic  griev- 
ances or  'With  the  possibilities  of 
a  grievance  yet  undeveloped.  Their 
main  consideration  is  how  best  to  tide  over 
this  period  of  depression  and  distress.  Their 
good  sense  preserves  them  from  the  folly 
of  imagining  that  it  is  the  function  or  within 
the  power  of  Government,  by  the  creation  of 
a  bureau,  or  the  issue  of  an  edict,  or  the  en- 
actment of  a  law,  to  render  them  prosper- 
ous. They  feel,  however,  that  they  are 
entitled  to  all  the  help  which  Government 
can  legitimately  afford  by  lessening  the  load 
of  taxation,  by  curtailing  expenses  in  every 
department,  by  so  revising  the  tariff  as  to 
stimulate  the  trade  and  industry  which  now 
it  crushes,  by  fostering  commerce  with  other 
lands,  and  by  pursuing  a  financial  policy 
that  shall  re-establish  confidence  and  vindi- 
cate the  nation's  pledge. 

As  regards  all  these  objects  one  thing  is 
to  be  remembered  which  should  moderate 
partisan  rancor  and  change  the  calculations 
of  those  who  have  been  accustomed  to  ap- 
peal exclusively  to  party  agencies  in  the  de- 
termination of  disputed  questions.  Neither 
party!  can  pretend  to  be  immaculate.  The 
vagai^ies  of  the  Ohio  KepubUcans  as  illus- 
trated in  their  silver  plank,  in  the  nomina- 
tion of  a  man  addicted  to  the  mischievous 
nonsense  which  has,  so  far,  been  the  chief 
characteristic  of  Judge  West,  and  in  the 
concession  of  controlling  influence  to  dema- 
gogues of  the  stamp  of  Mr.  Stanley  Mat- 
thews, are  well  fitted  to  restrain  party  ex- 
ultation. Add  to  these  sigfis  of  demoraliza- 
tion the  proofs  that  the  tendency  to  repu- 
diate which  is  involved  in  the  unqualified 
demand  for  theromonelization  of  silver  is  ap- 
parent in  the  Republican  ranks  in  the  West- 
ern States,  and  it  were  nncandid  to  deny  that, 
ill  this  respectat  least,  a  section  of  the  Repub- 
lican Party  is  false  to  what  has  hitherto  been 
one  of  its  most  honorable  traditions.  The 
position  is  not  improved  by  the  declaration 
that,  even  in  Ohio,  and  in  dealing  with  the 
financial  question,  tlio  Republicans  are  not 
so  bad  as  the  Democrats.  About  the  fact 
itself  there  can  be  no  controversy.  The  Re- 
publican proposition  respecting  finance  is 
an  absurd  muddle  merely  ;  the  Democratic 
propositions  are  explicit  in  their  iniquity. 
Kor  one  West  or  one  >Lvtthews  among  tho 
Uepublicans  there  are  a  dozen  among  the 
Democrats.  Besides,  there  is  evidently  an 
element  in  the  Kepublican  Party  which  re- 
fuses to  bow  the  knee  to  the  Baal  of  repudi- 
ation,! while  the  Ohio  Democrats  are  a  unit 
in  its  >vorship.  Those  are  differences  that 
ought' not  to  be  lost  sight  of.  After  all, 
however,  it  is  imi)ossible  to  shake  off  the 
impression  that  tlic  ordinary  party  lines 
cannot  be  drawn  in  the  struggle  for  the 
maintenanee  of  the  public  credit  and  for  the 
overthrow  of  the  pretensions  put  forward  by 
the  advocates  of  silver  as  an  unlimited  legal 
tender.  If  we  are  to  have  sound  finance, 
n 'sumption  in  IsT'.t,  and  an  honest  fulfill- 
ment of  the  nation's  obligations  to  its  cred- 
itors, the  worn-out  shibboleths  of  party 
must  be  discarded  and  the  good  men  of  both 
parlies  brought  together  to  repel  the  attacks 
of  tlio  common  enemy. 

Wliat  is  true  of  finance  is  eipially  true  of 
other  (luestions  whose  just  and  early  settle- 
ment is  essential  lo  the  country's  improve- 
ment. The  tariff  controversy  is  not  be- 
tween! ordinary  parties,  but  between  con- 
llicting  principles  ami  interests.  We  have 
to  consider  whether  the  t'ustoms  duties 
shall,  be  arninged  for  tho  benefit  of  monop- 
olists or,  primarily,  for  the  purposes  of 
revenue,  and,  indirectly,  for  the  promotion 
(if  industry  and  trade.  Again,  to  lighten 
the  burdens  of  the  people,  and  to 
facilitate  economical  measures  of 
the  Government,  the  Treasury  needs 
to  be  vigilantly  guarded  against  applicants' 
for  subsidies.  If  these  are  to  be  defeated, 
votes  and  help  will  be  reciuired  from  both 
sides.  The  Texas-Pacific  is  not  a  respecter 
of  pai'ties  in  laying  down  its  wires  and  bar- 
gaiuiiig  for  support,  and  to  frustrate  its 
plans  party  differences  will  have  to  be  ig- 
nori.-d.  These  examples  might  be  multi- 
plied indefinitely.  They  are  sufficient,  how- 
ever, to  prove  the  folly  of  the  reiteration  of 
stale  party  declarations,  and  the  absolute 
necessity  of  alliances  outside  of  party  for 
the  prbraotion  of  interests  common  to  all. 


than  one  will  find  in  any  community  of  equal 
population  in  any  part  of  England.  A  pa- 
rade of  "  resources  "  and  vacant  lands  is 
made,  every  now  and  then,  with  the  avowed 
intention  of  enticing  settlers.  Within  a 
few  days  we  have  seen  a  glowing  aecotmt  of 
the  departure  of  a  colony  from  Massachu- 
setts to  an  extreme  Western  State,  and  the 
colonists  seemed  to  think  that  they  were 
journeying  to  a  promised  Land.  The  real 
facts  are,  as  we  very<.  well  know,  that  the 
public  land  in  that  State  is  all  gone,  the  de- 
sirable tracts  are  held  by  speculators,  the 
prices  of  produce  were  never  so  low,  the 
labor  market  is  overstocked,  and  the  people 
ought  to  hang  out  a  sign  warning  off  all  in- 
tending settlers. 

In  such  a  condition  of  affairs  as  this,  it  is 
not  surprising  that  skilled  workmen  should 
begin  to  ask  if  there  cannot  be  somewhere 
found  another  market  for  their  labor.  If 
there  coiUd  be  discovered  a  country  in  which 
men  made  and  spent  money  but  produced  no 
manufactured  goods,  argue  these  discon- 
tented workmen,  it  would  be  a  great  boon. 
There  is  no  such  cotmtry.  In  every  civil- 
ized State  in  the  world  production  hag  been 
over-stimulated.  The  products  of  tho  loom 
and  workshop  glut  nearly  every  market.  It 
seems  hopeless  for  the  working  man  to  turn 
his  eyes  toward  Europe,  though  some  are 
doing  so.  Questions  of  tho  cost  of  living, 
taxes,  and  the  various  benefits  which  we 
call  "  advantages,"  must  be  considered 
after  the  mere  rate  of  wages  is  ascertained. 
Very  likely  some  of  the  men  who  are  now 
returning,  or  thinking  of  returning,  to  the 
Old  World,  came  out  here  under  a  false  im- 
pression. They  heard  glowing  half-truths  of 
the  condition  of  things  in  America.  They 
go  back  disappointed. 

The  short-sighted  policy  of  our  own 
mechanics  has  had  much  to  do  with  at- 
tracting foreign  artisans  to  our  work- 
shops. jOue  of  the  cruel  exactions  of  the 
.American  tfades-unioji  has  been  that 
which  practically  abolished  apprenticeships. 
It  wa.*  urged  that  apprentices,  after 
getting !  a  smattering  of  a  trade, 
would  compete  with  skilled  workmen, 
or  "  full  hands,"  and  cut  down 
wages.  As  if  the  skilled  mechanic  could 
not  successfully  contend  with  a  half-taught 
boy !  By  the  tyrannical  rules  of  the  unions, 
the  good  old  system  of  apprenticeships  was 
destroyed,  and  the  immediate  result  was  to 
limit  tlie  labor  supply.  Fathers  who 
thought  that  their  boys'  welfare  was 
dear  to  them,  selfislily  voted  to  ex- 
clude their  sons  from  learning  the  trades 
of  their  fathers.  The  very  next  result 
was  the  encouragement  of  foreign  skilled  la- 
liorers,  and  tho  importations  did  not  help  to 
dignify  labor,  or  make  the  trades  any  more 
<iesirable  to  young  men.  Tho  more  lament- 
able conclusion  was  that  boys  who  should 
have  learned  trades  gi-ew  up  in  idleness  and 
became  graduates  in  crime.  A  prominent 
citizen  of  San  Francisco,  speaking  in  a 
mass-meeting  during  the  late  riots,  consid- 
ered the  '•hoodlmn"  question,  and  said  that 
these  rowdies  were  originally  boys  who 
could  not  get  work.  Parents,  he  said,  had 
requested  Iiim  to  get  their  boys  places  in 
foundries  and  machine-shops,  where  they 
could  learn  a  trade.  As  soon  as  a  boy  went 
in,  the  mechanics  went  out  on  a  strike. 
Therefore,  the  streets  of  that  city  were  filled 
with  idle  youngsters  who  were  ripe  for  the 
deWl's  business.  This  is  true  uf  other  cities 
than  San  Francisco.  And  in  various  ways 
the  working  men  of  the  country-  are  reaping 
the  bitter  fruits  of  their  own  folly.  Innu- 
merable causes  have  combined  to  prostrate 
business.  But  the  general  public  would  now 
have  more  s\-mpathy  with  the  complainers 
if  it  could  forget  that  in  their  more  pros- 
perous days  they  were  prescriptive,  selfish, 
and  domineering. 


A  MIGKATIOy  OF  LABOR. 

Some  comment  has  naturally  been  excited 
by  the  statement  that  skilled  laborers  are 
emigrating  to  Europe  from  the  United 
States.  This  movement,  which  is  not  yet  a 
formidable  one,  has  been  treated  with  cau- 
tion by  the  Araeriean  press.  In  the  first 
place,  it  looks  like  an  experiment.  During 
the  past  ten  years,  at  intervals,  we  have  had 
conspicuous  announcements  that  American 
manufactures  were  being  exported  to  Great 
Britain.  Usually,  the  goods  forming  this 
novel  exportation  have  been  those  of  a  class 
which  we  have,  for  years,  imported  under 
serious  drawbacks.  By  and  by,  however, 
the  novelty  of  our  new  export  has  fallen  off, 
and  with  \t  has  disappeared  all  the  profit 
which  the  American  manufacturers  were 
reported  to  have  been  making.  It  has 
turned  out  that  the  goods  could  be  sold  in 
Europe  at  a  smaller  loss  than  was  involved 
in  keeping  them  on  hand  at  home.  And  that 
was  tho  end  of  the  matter.  In  the  next  place, 
if  the  labotl  export  is  not  a  doubtful  experi- 
ment, it  has,  at  least,  been  conducted  on 
such  a  small  scale  that  it  can  be  made  to 
prove  nothing.  It  is  a  startling  statement 
that  the  price  of  labor  is  so  reduced  in  the 
United  Statjes  that  our  skilled  workmen  can 
better  themselves  by  going  abroad  to  com- 
pete with  "the  pauper  labor  of  Europe." 
Until  this  ^o-called  emigration  is  of  appre- 
ciable dimensions,  however,  it  is  not  worth 
anxious  consideration. 

But  it  would  be  a  significant  and  striking 
emigration  if  it  should  ever  take  place.  It 
would  be  something  like  a  sudden  change  in 
the  balauce  of  trade.  It  would  be,  practi- 
cally, returning  to  Europe  the  skilled  labor 
which  has  poured  in  upon  us  for  many  years. 
At  this  moment,  under  all  sorts  of  dis- 
couragbment,  some  of  the  States  maintain 
agencies  which  strive  to  divert  to  in- 
dividual States  the  larger  share  of  for- 
eign immigration  arriving  on  our  shores.  It 
has  so  long  been  the  belief  of 
the  people  of  the  younger  States  that 
they  only  needed  labor  to  develop  their 
riches,  that  no  period  of  depression, 
no  overstocking  of  the  labor  market,  has 
sufficed  to  warn  them  to  stop  importation. 
Even  while  some  of  the  far  Western  States 
are  harassed  with  labor  troubles  and  pros- 
trated by  the  effects  of  dull  times,  their 
newspapers  keep  up  their  old,  old  cry  for 
immigration,  just  as  if  there  were  not  now 
more  idle  men  in  their  towns  and  vilhures 


ACADKillES  OF  ART. 

Institutions  like  the  Paris  Salon,  the 
Royal  Academy  of  Art  in  London,  and  the 
Academy  of  Design  in  New- York,  are  estab- 
lished for  the  encouragement  of  what  is 
popularly  called  art,  that  is  to  say,  the  arts 
of  drawing,  pahititig,  and  sculpture.  In  the 
United  States  there  are  at  present  few  of 
these  establishments,  but  signs  are  not 
'lacking  lof  a  tendency  to  multiply  them  in 
all  large;  towiis  which  possess  enough  citi- 
zens of  wealth  who  are  interested  in  such 
productsof  brainand  skill.  Xeces:sarii\',  large 
amountslof  money  will  be  locked  up'-  in  build- 
ings of  greater  or  less  pretension  to  beauty  of 
architecture, land  perhaps  iu  the  founding 
of  art  schoolslike  the  South  Ken.siugtou,  the 
Beaux  Ar;t.^,  or  the  Cooper  Institute.  Ifsuell 
is  to  be  the  case,  it  would  be  well  if  donors 
of  funds  and  committeemen  could  regard 
the  question  from  all  sides  before  fixing  in 
certain  grooves  the  money  that  might  other- 
wise be  spent  to   better  advantage. 

In  the  first  place,  do  academics  of  art 
encourage  art  ?  If  by  art  one  under- 
.staiuls  the  lower  form.s,  like  house  decoration, 
whether  !  applied  to  the  walls  of  dwellings 
or  the  furniture  within,  then  the  answer 
is. plainly  a  favorable  one.  Academies 'of 
art,  art  schools,  and  the  other  systems  of 
drill  in  processes  that  come  under  the  head 
of  art  certainly  raise  the  average  ability  of 
a  community  in  the  faculty  of  embellishing 
the  interior  of  houses.  The  South  Kensing- 
ton turns  !ouD  a ,  corps  of  very  creditable 
imitators  in  art  every  year  ;  the  Beaux  Arts 
is  even  miore  efficient  in  training 
material  j  I  which  is  much  more,  sus- 
ceptible I  to  the  influence  of  art-ideas  ; 
while  trie  Caoper  Institute,  the  schools 
of  the  lAcidemy  of  Design  aud  of 
its  seceding  members,  together  with 
the  differeiiti  associations  for  the  pro- 
motion of  decorative  art,  educate  a  largo 
number  of  young  people  of  both  sexes  up  to 
a  certain  point  of  efficiency  in  processes 
that  havp'  a  certain  money  value  in  the 
market.  !  The  same  may  be  said  of  similar 
schools  in  Boston,  New-Haven,  Chicago, 
and  Cincinnati.  But  their  serrices  stop 
there ;  it  is  not  art  in  the  high  sense  tliat 
they  offer,  but  rather  a  means  of  getting 
bread ;  the  enuoivragement  to  art  in  the 
highest  form  is  only  collateral  and 'indirect. 
Not  only  that;  but  the  very  effort 'to  make 
pupils  efficient  in  the  lower  or  merely  bread- 
earning  stage^  interferes  with  the  progress 
toward  the  laiger  sphere  of  art. 

The  arts  of  painting  and  sculpture  differ 
immeasurably  from  the  subjects  taught  at 
academies  aud  colleges.  While,  to  a  cer- 
tain extent,  the  necessity  for  adapting 
methods  of  instruction  in  colleges  to  the 
average  of  I  pupils  drags  down  the  best  minds 
among  th^in,  the  trouble  is  much  more  se- 
rious in  I  art  |8ohools.  A  system  of  some 
kind  is  ne<!essary  with  the  wisest  and  most 
cainstakinK  teacher.    As  a  role   the  best 


talent  can  not  be  secored  to  instruct 
the  pupils,  and  they  are  forced 
'to  put  up  with  the  cut-and-dried 
science  of  a  man  of  little  character 
or  success  as  an  artist.  The  cleverest  and 
most  fertUe  brains  are  hardly  stimulated  by 
comparison  with  the  work  of  inferior 
pupUs;  on  the  contrary,  they  are  apt  to 
acquire  a  fatal  contentment  with  their  own 
powers  when  they  see  how  easy  it  is  to  be 
superior  to  their  fellows.  Yet  such  excep'- 
tional  talents  as  these  are  very  apt  to  turn 
out  the  pride  of  the  art  professor,  and 
graduate  from  the  school  into  a  studio  which 
produces  a  yearly  quota  of  paintings  that 
are  the  despair  of  art  lovers  and  critics. 
Perspective  in  such  paintings  is  unexcep- 
tionable, the  color  often  good,  and,  occa- 
sionally, the  subject  well  chosen.  But  they 
cannot  be  praised.  They  are  the 
stuimbling-block  of  the  genial  critic  and  the 
occasion  for  the  harsh  critic  to  say  his,  ap- 
parently, most  unjust  things.  They  are 
' '  schooly,"  that  is  all.  The  school  has  made 
the  painter  a  good  workman  of  salable  pic- 
tures at  modest  prices  ;  but  it  has  not  en- 
couraged art.  A  school  cannot  encourage 
art  in  that  sense,  any  more  than  a  pond  can 
encourage  the  sun  that  shines  in  it.  The 
most  that  can  be  said  for  a  school  is  to  argue 
that  the  genius  who  can  stand  its  leveling 
tendencies  will  emerge  strengthened  from 
its  dangerous  precincts. 

Equally  antagonistic  to  true  art  are  fidl- 
blown  academies  of  design  like  those  of 
Paris,  London,  and  New-York,  although  an 
anxious  regulation  of  their  acts  and  a  large 
share  of  generosity  in  their  members  may 
modify  their  evil  features.  In  Paris  various 
devices  are  resorted  to  in  order  to  make  up 
for  the  injustice  with  which  some  of  the 
finest  talent  is  treated,  if  it  happens  to  differ 
from  the  authorities  of  the  Salon.  In  Lon- 
don the  Grosvenor  Gallery  has  just  been 
opened  to  show  that  the  Royal  Academy 
eanijot  accept  the  .  best  pictures,  or  at 
any  rate  the  most  interesting  pictures,"  of 
the  season.  In  this  City,  the  Academy 
of  Design  is  liable  to  become  at  any 
moment,  if  it  has  not  already  become,  a 
close  artistic  corporation,  so  far  as  accept- 
ing pictures  for  exhibition  is  concerned, 
which  would  infallibly  reject  the  contribu- 
tions of  a  genius.  For  it  is  one  of  the  pe- 
culiarities often  seen  in  the  work  of  the  best 
artists  that  their  paintings  rouse  the  great- 
est hostility  in  others  of  their  guild  until 
their  style  has  become  familiar.  The  pub- 
lic want  something  fresh  and  new  and  the 
fraternity  of  artists  want  something  fresh 
and  new,  but  when  the  novelty  appeals  it 
seldom  takes  a  form  that  suits  the  members 
of  the  profession.  That  it  should  be  so  is  no 
wonder,  for  they  are  men  who  have  been 
doing  their  own  work  according  to  certain 
fixed  principles  wiiich  they  have  been  forced 
to  consider  law. 

The  gi'eatest  artists  have.been  reared  in  the 
studios  of  older  men  and  were  free  to  leave 
whenever  they  wished  ;  they  got  a  desultory 
instruction;  like  that  of  the  midshipmen  of 
the  X'avy  before  the  Naval  Academy  was 
established.  Iu  some  respects  their  educa- 
tion was  not  so  liberal,  but,  as  some  of  the 
midshipmen  turned  into  commanders  of 
brilliant  genius,  so  an  apprentice  here  aud 
there  became  a  great  master  in  art.  Before 
multiplying  academies  of  design  and  schools 
of  art,  it  must  be  remembered  that  nothing 
more  than  a  high  mediocrity  can  be  ex- 
pected from  them.  The  schools  are  liable 
to  nip  real  genius  in  the  biid,  and  the  ex- 
hibiting academies  to  snub  it.  There  is  no 
need  of  accusing  academies  of  sordid  motives 
in  excluding  good  work  from  their  exhibi- 
tions, although  such  considerations  are 
doubtless  occasionally  felt,  for  the  artistic 
yardstick  with  which  they  cannot  fail  to 
measure  the  contributions  of  new  men 
makes  them  necessarily  impervious  to  new 
ideas. 


PAISTED   HEADS. 

At  a  certain  unspecified  town  in  this 
State  there_  resides  an  indefinite  man,  who 
is  bald  and  conscientious.  Although  a 
delicate  regard  for  his  feelings  forbids  the 
mention  of  his  name,  it  will  perhaps  be 
well  to  render  him  somewhat  less  in- 
definite by  gi^^ug  him  tho  timely  name  of 
Dolgorouski.  Notliing  has  been  left  tmtried 
by  Mr.  Dolgorouski  to  bring  back  his  miss- 
ing hair.  The  conversation  of  barbers  aore 
long  time  ho  bore,  and  tonics  were  in 
vain.  Scores  of  alleged  bears  have 
died  in  onler  that  his  head  might  be 
sn'eased,  but  the  most  thorough  toi>-dressing 
produced  no  more  effect  upon  his  scalp  than 
does  the  most  powerful  fertilizer  when 
wasted  on  the  granite  meailows  of  Xew- 
Ilampshire.  At  one  time  he  seriously  pro» 
posed  to  tr.ansplant  small  patches  of  cat's 
fur  from  the  backs  of  ownerless  eats  to  the 
bare  surface  of  his  head,  but  the  entreaties 
of  his  horrified  friends,  who  fSared  that  tlie 
experiment  might  affect  his  moral  nature 
and  inspire  him  with  wicked  longings  for 
the  back  fence,  induced  him  to  abandon  the 
scheme.  He  finally  gave  up  all  hopes  of 
futajre  hair,  and  accepted  his  baldness  as  a 
misfch'tune  without  a  remedy. 

Now,  Mr.  Dolgorou.ski  was  extremely  fond 
of  obej-ing  the  apostolic  injunction  to  assem- 
ble himself  together  for  public  worship.  In 
other  words,  he  was  a  devoted  Methodist, 
and  took  unbounded  delight  in  going  to 
meeting.  Unfortunately,  the  local  Methodist 
meeting-house  was  subject  to  \-ioleut 
draughts  of  wind,  which  constantly  gave 
Mr.  Dolgorouski  a  succession  of  colds  in  the 
head.  Other  men  who  wore  their  hair  to 
meeting  could  sit  through  a  long  sermon 
without  taking  cold,  but  the  bare  head  of  t'ne 
bald  man  could  not  resist  the  draughts  that 
blew  from  one  window  to  another.  In  this 
emergency  two  courses  were  suggested  to  him 
by  his  acquaintances.  He  was  advised  either 
to  wear  a  skull-cap  or  to  wear  a  wig.  To  an 
ordinary  man  either  of  these  alternatives 
might  seem  unobjectionable,  but  Mr.  Dol- 
gorouski's  conscience  was  even  more 
tender  than  his  scalp.  He  refused  to  wear 
a  skull-cap  on  the  ground  that  it  was  vir- 
tually a  hat,  and  that  notluug  could  induce 
ViiTu  to  attend  a  religious  meeting  with  a  hat 
on  his  head.  As  for  a  wig,  he  denounced 
that  ingenious  device  as  a  palpable  false- 
hood. He  insisted  that  a  bald  man  who 
should  wear  a  wig  would  be  guilty  of  a  de- 
liberate lie,  since  he  would  be  aiming  to  in- 
duce people  to  believe  that  he  was  possessed 
of  hair  grown  on  his  own  premises.  An 
acted  lie,  said  Mr.  Dolgorouski,  is  worse 
than  a  spfoken  lie,  and  no  matter  how  in- 
credible a  wig  may  be,  it  is  none  the  less  a 
premeditated  falsehood. 

Mr.  Dolgorouski  was  tlufs,  by  his  rejec- 
tion of  wi2s  aud  skall-cuDs.   autiarently 


confined  to  the  alternative  of  going  to 
meeting  and  sneezing,  or  of  staying  at  home 
and  avoiding  the  danger  of  taking  cold. 
He  was,  however,  a  singularly  ingenious 
man,  and  he  set  his  wits  at  work  to  devise 
an  escape  from  this  dilemma.  He  perceived 
that  what  he  needed  was  something  which 
would  keep  his  scalp  from  contact  with  the 
air,  and  would  at  the  same  time  be  inoffen- 
sive to  his  delicate  conscience.  It  so  hap- 
pened that  just  at  this  time  the  interior  of 
the  Methodist  meeting-house  was  receiving 
a  fresh  coat  of  paint,  and  this  circumstance 
suggested  the  idea  which  Mr.  Dolgorouski 
speedily  put  in  practice. 

One  Sunday  morning  the  minister  became 
aware  that  his  congregation  was  in  a  state 
of  tmu&al  excitement.  At  first  he  was  in- 
clined to  explain  this  excitement  upon  the 
theory  that  his  presence  in  the  pulpit  was 
peculiarly  welcome  to  ■  the  audience,  but  as 
the  excitement  constantly  increased,^  he  de- 
cided that  there  must  be  a  stray  dog  in  the 
house.  Rising  up  to  look  for  the  hypotheti- 
cal animal,  in  order  to  remark  in  an  impres- 
sive voice,  "Take  that  dog  out!"  he  was 
confounded  by  a  vision  of  red  and  white 
stripes  in  one  of  the  most  prominent  pews. 
To  his  startled  imagination  there  appeared 
to  be  a  display  of  fashionable  hosiery  in  cir- 
cumstances which  Involved  the  hypothesis 
of  the  wildest  eccentricity  on  the  p.art  of 
some  hysterical  sister,  but  as  he  contin- 
ued to  keep  his  horrified  gaze  fixed 
upon  the  stripes,  he  became  aware 
that  the  decorated  head  of  ilr.  Dolgorou- 
ski was  before  him.  That  conscientious 
man  had  painted  his  scalp  with  red  and 
white  paint  with  the  utmost  care  and  neat- 
ness, and,  as  it  afterward  appeared,  in  imi- 
tation of  the  flag  of  his  country.  Naturally, 
his  extraordinary  appearance  had  attracted 
the  attention  of  every  one  present,  and  h^ 
a  yellow  dog  seated  himself  and  panted  on 
the  pulpit  stairs,  the  enthusiasm  could  not 
have  been  greater.  It  was  obWously  im- 
possible to  preach  with  that  variegated 
head  distracting  the  minds  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  the  minister,  therefore,  calmly 
requested  Brother  Dolgorouski  to  with- 
draw. The  brother  declined  to  do  anj-thing 
of  the  sort,  aud  the  upshot  was  that  he  was 
led  forth  by  four  muscular  deacons,  loudly 
protesting  that  he  was  a  persecuted  man, 
.and  that  he  had  as  much  right  to  put  paint 
on  his  head  as  certain  female-members  of 
the  congregation  had  to  put  powder  on  their 
faces.  ^ 

The  ecclesiastical  trial  of  Brother  Dolgo- 
rouski for  profaning  public  worship  is  soou 
to  take  place,  and  it  would  be  injudicious 
to  prejudice  public  opinion  either  against 
or  in  favor  of  him.  It  may  be  remarked, 
however,  that  his  position  seems  to  the 
worldly  mind  to  be  a  strong  one.  He 
claims  that  paint  gives  complete  protec- 
tion to  a  bald  scalp,  and  that  it  partakes 
neither  of  the  irreverence  of  a  ^at  nor  the 
dishonesty  of  a  wig.  It  does  not  pretend  to 
be  what  it  is  not,  but  it  is  simply  au  honest 
and  beautiful  covering,  whether  applied  to 
the  walls  of  a  meeting-house  or  the  head  of 
a  worshiper.  He  indignantly  denies  that 
he  had  the  most  remote  intention  of  fash- 
ioning his  novel  head-dress  upon  any 
article  of  feminine  apparel,  and  pro- 
tests that,  until  he  was  so  in- 
formed by  the  minister,  he  was  totally 
unaware  that  such  Babylonish  garments  as 
striped  hosierj-  were  to  be  found  in  a  nomi- 
nallv  Christian  laud.  He  painted  his  head 
with  stripes  instead  of  decorating  it  iu 
monotone  because  he  wished  to  combine 
patriotism  with  comfort,  and  believed  t'uat 
the  stripes  of  our  national  banner  would  not 
be  out  of  place  on  the  head  of  a  sincere 
patriot.  Finally,  he  insists  that  there  is  no 
law,  ecclesiastical  or  civH,  which  forbids  a 
bald  man  to  paint  his  bead,  and  declares 
that,  although  he  will  compromise  the  dispute 
by  promising  to  paint  his  head  with  maps  of 
Palestine  or  Scriptural  scenes,  he  will  never 
surrender  his  natural  right  to  protect  his 
scalp  in  the  way  that  he  thinks  most  con- 
venient and  proper. 

It  is  difficult  to  see  how  Mr.  Dolgorouski 
can  be  found  guilty  of  the  offense  with 
which  he  is  charged.  His  acquittal  will 
naturally  encourage  other  bald  men  to  fol- 
low his  example.  In  fact,  there  is  no  reason 
why  they  should  not  do  so.  Care,  however, 
should  be  taken  to,  use  only  %vater-color3. 
Oil  paints,  with  a  basis  of  lead  or  zinc,  and 
all  aniline  dyes,  must  be  avoided,  since 
they  might  seriously  affect  the  health  of  the 
users.  The  artistic  painting  of  bald  heads 
may  j'et  become  a  new  branch  of  the  bar- 
ber's art,  and  the  men  who  are  now  anxious 
to  paint  historical  pictures  for  the  Federal 
Government  may  be  able  to  earn  in  honest 
living  by  decorating  the  bare  heads  of 
Venerable  Senators  aud  other  hairless  pub- 
lic men.

Washtngtox.  A^ig.  9.— The  letter  of  Mr. 
Kemble  regarding  the  money  paid  to  Secretary 
Scburz  for  electioneering  expenses  has  created 
quite  a  stir  in  political  circles  here.  It  seems  to 
be  the  general  opinion  that  the  communication 
is  an  exceedingly  damaging  one.  Mr.  Schurz, 
however,  does  not  seem  to  take  this  view 
of  the  matter.  He  speaks  very  freely  on 
the  subject,  and  evidently  regards  the 
Kemble  letter  as  a  confession  that  the  original 
story  of  his  having  received  $1,500  for  having 
delivered  the  same  speech  three  times  is  a  false- 
hood. During  an  interview  had  with  him  to- 
day he  said  that  Kemble  had  now  come  down 
from  $500  a  day  to  $50O  for  a  week  in  'l-*:>00 
and  iy68,  a  reduction  to  about  one-sixth  of  the 
original  charge ;  that  Mr.  Kemble  would  have  to 
come  down  considerably  more,  and  spread  it  not 
over  one,  but  over  several  weeks,  during  which 
he  (Mr.  Schurz)  had  been  active  in  Penntylvifc- 
nia.  Htr  said  further,  that  h^r never  denied  hav- 
ing received  compt-nsittion  for  campaign  work. 
During  the  year  referred  to  in  Kemble's  letter, 
he  had  labored  for  months  in  Pennsylvania  and 
other  States,  and  ii  was  absolutely  necessary  for 
h'im  to  receive  bomo  pay  for  the  work:  This  was, 
generally  understood  at  the  time  by  all  his 
friends.  Now,  however,  the  whole  niatitr  was 
being  grossly  and  maliciously  lied  at>out. 
Further.  3Ir.  Sehurz  said  tliat  since  1S50  h« 
had  probably  given  more  time  and  labor  to  cam- 
paign work,  without  compensation,  thati  any  of 
the  gentlemen  named  iu  Kemble's  letter,  except 
the  late  Senator  AVilson.  and  perhaps  more  than 
any  man  in  the  cvuntrj-  ;  that  the  present  at- 
tacks upon  him  were  lirst  started  by  some  jio- 
litical  opponent  who  spoke  of  $100  for  each 
speech.  The  gossips  and  slander-Uioiigera 
raised  it  to  $200.  until  finally  Mr.  Kemble  ran 
it  up  to  $500  a  speech.  This  was  all  the  Secre- 
t4r>'  had  to  say  about  the  matter.

Spinal  Dispatch  to  the  yetc-York  Timx*. 

tVASHiNGTON.  Aug.  9. — A  small  tempest 
in  a  teapot  has  been  raging  here  for  some  days, 
which  results  in  William  U-  Moore,  a  recently 
dismissed  special  agent  of  the  Customs  Bureau, 
making  afiidavit  that  Gen.  H.  V.  Boyutou, 
"Washington  correspondent  of  the  Cincinnati 
Gaz€tU,  attempted  to  black -mail  lum  ou 
the  strength  of  some  documents  which 
he  [Boynton]  bad  to  show  that  Moora 
had  been  guilty  of  disreputable  practices. 
Those  who  knew  both  Boyntun  and  Mo*>re  have 
no  hesitation  iu  pronouncing  this  afiidavit 
perjuK'.  although  it  may  be  possible  that  Moore 
has,  with  a  vivid  imagintitioE.  con\inced  him- 
self that  something  Boynton  has  Siiid  to  him 
was  a  demand  for  money.  Moore  is  a  spy  by ' 
profession  and  practice,  and  in  souie  strange 
way  secured  the  confidence  of  Gen.  Grant 
during  the  last  few  months  of  his  term,  and 
abused  that  confidence  in  various  ways.  Ont 
of  his  prjpcipa!  offices  at  that  time  was  to  moke 
long  writ^n  reports  to  President  Grant  of  aVl 
the  scanddl  in  the  Treasury  Df;i>artment.  and 
especially  that  relating  to  Mr.  Bristow  and 
Bluford  Wilson.  When  Fi-esident  Grant  went 
out  of  office.  Mooi^.  having  made  himself 
obnoxious  to  nekrly  e  verj*  ]  ironiiueijt 
officer  in  the  Trt-asury  Deparinient, 
feared  that  he  should  lose  his  place,  und  yt-y- 
cured  from  President  Grant  a  strong  letter  to 
Secretary  Sherman  commending:  bim  aud  ask- 
ing his  retention.  In  his  reports  to  Pr«»4deDt 
Gmnt  in  regard  to  wliat  has  been  called  the 
Briatow  con*;piracy.  Moure  made  very  free  use 
of  Gen.  Boynton's  name,  and  President 
Grant  having  sent  tht;  documents  over 
to  be  filed  in  the  Treastiry  Depart- 
ment, Boynton  in,  some  way  got  acre-ss 
to  them,  and  hr.s  from  time  to  time  jirinted 
such  extracts  as  he  believed  would  be  interest- 
ing to  the  public.  Among  these  papers  he 
found  much  regarding  Moore's  chararTer  and 
transactions,  which,  to  say  the  least,  have 
not  been  always  creditable,  and  -ioine ' ' 
Time  ago  he  presented  an  exhibit  of 
Moore  to  President  Hayes.  The  President, 
having  confidence  in  Boynton.  at  once  ordered 
Moore's  dismissal,  but.  as  he  was  engaged  on  an 
important  investigation,  his  dismissal  was  post- 
poned till  he  should  have  completed  it.  Moore 
rushed  into  print  the  other  day  "with  an  attack 
ou  Boynton;  the  latter  retort-ed  with  a  short 
but  wholesome  review  of  -Moore's  record; 
Moore  returns  to  tlie  charge,  and  publLshes  this 
momingan  affidavit  charpng  Boynton  with  at- 
tempting to  black-mail  him.  and  there  the  • 
matter  stands  for  the  present,  but  interesting 
developments  are  expected  to  follow.

"W.\sniNGTON,  Aug.  9. — Secretary  Mills, 
of  the  Canadian  Interior  DepartmenL  has  been 
in  Washington  for  two  days,  having  come  here 
to  consult  with  Mr.  Plunket.  ;>ecretarv  of  the 
British  Legation,  -who  is  acting  as  Cbar^ 
d'Affaires  during  the  absence  of  Sir  Kd- 
ward  Thornton.  Mr.  Mills  called  on 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  and  tb« 
Commissioner  of  Indian  ,^A.ffair  to-day,  and 
an  important  coE«ultation  was  bad  in  re;;ard<d 
Sitting  Bull  and  his  band  of  warriors  v.ho  are 
known  to  be  somewhere  in  the  British  possea- 
sions.  having  taken  refuge  over  the  boiJer  to 
avoid  the  pursuit  of  the  United  States  tftjnpa, 
Mr.  Mills  has  recent  information  from  the  out- 
posts on  the  frontier  of  the  Dominion,  from, 
which  it  is  learned  that  Sitting  Bull  has  ex- 
pressed his  desire  to  surrender  to  the  United 
States  authorities,  aud  return  to  an 
agency,  provided  he  can  do  so  on  his 
own  terms,  which  are,  that  he  be  alloweti  to  re: 
tain  possession  of  his  arms  and  ponies,  and  that 
neither  he  nor  his  tril>e  shall  be  punished  foi 
past  offenses.  Mr.  Mills'  information  is  lo  the 
effect  that  Sitting  Bull  has  not  l»e?n  prospta^ue 
this  Summer  in  his  hunting  campaigns, 
and  will  be  unablp  to  sustain  himself  an^ 
his  tribe  during  the  coming  "Winter.  He 
sees  no  alternative  but  to  subsist  on 
the  Canadian  Government,  (which  Secretary 
Mills  will  not  allow  him  to  do,)  or  to  stirreiider 
himself  to  t)ie  United  States  and  live  on  ;igency 
rations  all  Winter.  He  cannot  support  himself 
by  raidityr  settlements,  beiause  the  North -west-' 
efn  frontier  is  now  so  well  guardt^  by  the 
military  that  it  would  be  fatal  for  him  to  attempt 
to  do  so.  The  Canadhm  frontier  is  not  so 
well  -  guarded  as  ours.  and  for  this 
reason  Secretary  Mills  is  very  anadlous  that 
something  should  be  done  to  remove  SittingBuU 
out  of  the  way  of  temptation.  He  is  quite  san- 
guine that  if  a  Commissioner  were  sent  to  the 
chief  from  the  United  States  that  he  would  con- 
sent to  come  into  an  agency.  Secretary 'Schur** 
and  Commissioner  Smith  Are  not  so  hopeful,  and 
they  will  not  consent  to  treat  with  Mm  on  any 
terms  whatever.  except  the  absolute 
surrender  of  all  his  ponies  and  armg 
and  ammunition.  The  other  Sioux  have 
accepted  these  terms,  and  Sitting  Bull  must  be 
treated  with  no  greater  consideration.  Secre- 
tary' Schurz  will  bring  tlie  matter  before  the 
Cabinet  to-morrow,  and  if  the  President'*  as- 
sent can  be  obtained,  a  Commissioner  will  be 
sent  out  at  once. 

The  council  which  the  Canadian  Government 
was  to  have  held  ^-ith  the  Blackfeet  Indians 
this  Summer  will  not  be  held,  for  some  reason

A  fearful  accident,  and  providentially  0  ae 
that  did  not  result  in  IVamediate  loss  of  li  In, 
took  place  yesterday  morning  on  the  Lc  ng 
Branch  Division  of  the  Central  Railroad  of  N«  w- 
Jersey.  The  train  from  this  City  at  7:45  A.  M. 
left  Communipaw  with  a  baggage  car  and  f 0  ar 
coaches,  and  carrying  a  large  number  of  pass<  n- 
gers.  A  number  were  taken  up  at  several  s  »- 
tions  along  the  road,  and  at  Bed  Bank,  by  he 
addition  of  a  large  excursion  party  from  t)  at 
place  and  Holmdel,  the  number  was  n- 
creased  to  fully  200.  The  train  tl  en 
ran  along  at  a  rapid  rate  towi  rd 
Long  Branch,  Oceanport  Creek,  half-w  ay 
between  Long  Branch  and  Red  Bank,  is  cross  ea 
by  a  wooden  bridge,  about  500  feet  in  leng  th. 
In  the  centre  of  the  bridge  is  an  iron  swing  ng 
draw- 140  feet  long.  As  the  train  approached  at 
9:24  o'clock,  the  bridge- tender  was  seen  stand  ng 
at  has  post  before  the  flag-house  on  the  draw.  <  iia- 
playing  the  signal  '*  allright."and  thetrainhiv- 
ing  slightly  reducea  its  speed  when  approachi  ig, 
started  along  again  at  a  more  rapid  rate  a  1  it 
touched  the  spiling,  and  the  speed  was  increa:  ed 
to  about  10  miles  an  hour,  according  to  he 
statements  of  paswngei^.  The  engine  pas- ed 
upon  the  draw  safely,  but  the  rear  truck  of  t  lie 
tender  left  the  track  ;  the  first  passenger  tar 
followed  it,  and  then  the  next.  The  enyi  le. 
upon  reaching  the  furthclr  end  of  the  draw, :  an 
off  the  tracks,  which  wei"o  now  disconnecttj  d, 
the  whole  train  bounding  along  after  it  on  1  he 
ties,  tearing  them  intol  spUnters  as  it  drt  ve 
along.  The  engineer  reversed  his  engice,  i  nd 
the  brakes  were  applied.  ]  It  was  too  late,  h<  w- 
ever.  for  the  engine  plunged  over  the  s  de 
of  the  bridge  and  down  the  sand-bai  k, 
flinging  out  the  engineer  and  fireman  as 
it  turned  over  in  a  wild  somersai  It- 
There  was  a  rush  of  steam  from  broken  pi  )es 
which  was  quickly  lost  in  the  crashing  of  ti  tn- 
bers,  for  the  ba!:;gage-car  ran  up  over  the  wr  ck 
of  the  locomotive,  turned  completely  upsii  lo- 
down  on  the  land,  and  in  the  twinkling  of  an 
eye  was  converted  into  a  mass  of  splint*  rs, 
upon  which  were  piled  the  broken  true  <s. 
The  passenger  car  immediately  behind  the  b  ig- 
gage  car  was  turned  qjver  on  its  side  on  ho 
river  shore,  while  the  third  and  fourth  cars  ell 
with  a  splash  upon  their  aide»  in  the  river,  si  ik- 
ing to  the  depth  of  about  three  feet.  Tlie  ft  rh 
car  fortunately  became  disconnected,  aud  \vl  en 
the  others  fell  into  the  river  it  stopped  upon  he 
very  edge  of  the  bridge. 

The  scene  which  ensued  was  a  terrible  o  16. 
There  was  a  scream  of  alarm  from  2the  pa.'i^  Mi- 
ners, many  of  whom,  in  their  eagerness  to  I'S- 
cape  from  the  partly  submerjied  cars,  broke  ho 
^lass  in  the  windows,  and  endeavored  to  cri  w]! 
through  the  narrow  openings.;  Their  screa  nn 
for  help  for  a  few  nn^ments  were  inter  -Ytf. 
agonizing,  and  loud.  The  passengers  in  hjO 
last  car.  which  stood  on  the  bridge,  but  off  hp 
track,  quickly  hastened  to  the  relief  of  '  he 
others,  and  soon  be";an  the  work  of  remov  ng 
them.  The  men  of  the  party  descended  to  1  he 
side  of  the  overturned  cars,  and  passed  up 
the  wet  and  wounded  men.  women,  and 
children,  dragging  them  out  at  the  doorwi  vs 
and  thronjfh  the  wiudowsas  quickly  as  possif  fe. 
Inside  the  cars  the  scene,  as  de.<<*ribed  by  sevt  ral 
of  the  passengers,  was  one  of  the  most  terri  jU* 
description.  When- the  cars  fell  over  all  he 
passengers  were  violently  thrown  from  thL*ir 
seats  to  the  opposite  side,  where  they  w  ;re 
piletl  up  under  cushions,  umbrellas,  llits  of 
broken  glass  and  other  lyo.se  ajrticles  that  w  jre 
carried  over  with  the  pliibijG.     '  ' 

In  the  first  submereetl,  ciir,  3Ir.  Moses  Moi  Id 
and  his  wife,  of  Montgomery.  Orange  Couny. 
X,  v..  were  pitched  from  the  risht  side  of  1  he 
car  into  the  water  at  the  opposite  side.  I  Ir. 
Mould,  who  is  about  0Oyi;arsot'age,  wasstuni  ed 
bv  the  fall,  and  he  lay  in  the  water  as  he  f  11. 
liis  wTfe.  whose  shoulder  was  dislocated,  1  >er 
collar-bone  broken,  and  herbreast  badly  injur  W. 
raised  him  up  and  supported  him  until  she  \  '&h 
relieved  by  one  of  the  assisting  party.  Mr. 
Mould  was  c-arried  away  insensible.  C  in- 
ductor Hetfield.  who  :  ha<l  charge  of  he 
train.  was  in  the  fourth  car.  f  nd 
was  about  passing  to  the  fifth  When  the  accid  nt 
happened,  ^lien  the  car  toppled  ho  escaj  ed 
through  a  window,  and.  althojugh  he  had  re 
ceived  a  fearful  gash  across  his  nose  and  chee  iS. 
he  sent  to  Oceanport  station  to  have  a  re]  ief 
train  teletfraphed  for.  ami  then  joined  he 
party  engaged  in  assistine  the  inmate.s  of 
the  overturned  cars.  Seiarch  ^an  made  ag  lin 
and  again  through  the  c^rs  for  passengers,  1  ut 
at  the  end  of  15  minute.'j  or  perhaps  earlier  it 
was  believ|ed  that  every  persons  who  had  b»  en 
on  tho  train  was  on  the  bridge  or  on  hr» 
way  to  some  of  the  neighboring  house's.  The 
accident  was  witnessed  by  many  persons  li^"^  iig 
near  the  bridge,  and  soon  after  they  hurried  to 
the  so^ne,  bringing  boats,  which  were  put  to 
good  use  in  carrying  awaiy  the  Wet  and  iniui  ed 
passengers.  Ladies  in  the  party  went  upon  1  he 
bridge,  where  they  found  .several  elderly  Iiwd  j-s 
who  were  .severely  shockrHl,  aud  who  neec  cd 
and  received  their  attentions.    ;  j 

The  excitement  quickly  pass!?d  off,  and  th<  so 
who  could  TOnt  about  th(;  task  i>t  caring  for  t  tie 
wounded,  t'arriages  appeared  upon  the  bniik, 
and  in  these  some  of  the!  most  .severely  injuied 
were  carried  to  the  nearest  houses.  Eve  y- 
thing  was  done  by  the  residents  of  Oceanp  trt 
that  could  have  bec-n  expected.  They  fre  ly 
opene<l  their  hou.ses  and  personally  it- 
tended  to  the  wants  of  the  imf  )r- 
tunates.  After  some  delay  th(i  special  train  »r- 
rived  from  Lonsi  Branch,  and  four  of  the  m  »st 
danperitusly  wounded  were  put  on  board,  n  !id 
altogetlier  about  *-i(>  persons  were  carrie*!  to  1  he 
Branch  and  Oc<%n  Grove.  The  Holmdel  n  nd 
Red  Bank  people  were  taken  back  toward  tli  ?Ir 
homes  by  carriages.  Araon^  the  passengers  In 
the  rear  car  was  Dr.  Uidgeway.  of  Red  Baik, 
who  immediately  turned  his  "attenti<m  to  Ihe 
wounded,  and  spent  tho  rest  of  the  day  in 
serving  them. 

The  number  of  persons  injured,  seriously,  a  'id 
slightly,  is  not  less  than  70,  but  it  was  diffic  lit 
yesterday  to  ascertain  precisely  the  number,  so 
thoroughly  had  they  been  scattered  about  all 
the  wav  from  Holmdel  to  Ocean  CTrove:_j4*Jjc  ng 
Branch  in  the  station  were  Miss  DeGraff  a  nd 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mould,  all  too  badly  injured  to 
move,  aud  Mr."  J.acoby  was  at  Morris  Pa^Tlii  ^n. 
At  Oceanport,  in  the  house  of  ^Ir.  Smock.  ^  [r. 
Hyde  and  two  others  were  provii  ed 
for,  an  injured  lady!  was  at  the  hoi  se 
of  Capt.  Price,  ]  and  three  ot)i  -rs 
were  at  the  Park  Hotel.  lalx>ut  IG  in  all  rema  u- 
ing  in  the  town  for  the  nji^ht.  During  the  afti;r- 
nbon  Assistant  Superintendent  Steams  react  ed 
the  .scene,  with  Dr.  Pejtit,  of  Elizabeth,  and 
he  devoted  himself  assiduously  to  the  care  of 
such  of  the  wounded  asl  were  in  need  of  me  lli- 
cal  services.  Portions  of  the  wreck  were  imi  le- 
diately  removed,  and  the  track  was  cleared,  so 
that  but  little  interruption  •  was  oc  :a- 
sioned  to  travel.  The  locomotive  was  hid- 
den beneath  the  ruined  baggage  car,  w  th 
its  smoke-stack  broken  off,  its  cab  crush'  d. 
and  its  tender  demolished.  While  the  bagga  :e- 
car  was  so  thoroughly  ruined,  most  of  the  b  .g- 
^age  was  recovered  and  taken  care  of,  and  1  he 
mails  were  entirely  uninjured.  The  mail  age  it, 
Ellis  Meeker,  escaped  uninjured  from  the  c  ir, 
which  was  broken  to  pieces,  thouerh  how  he  «  id 
it  he  could  not  explain. 

ACCOUKTINO    FOR  ,  THE  ACCIDEN-T. 

A  variety  of  explanatibns  are  offer,ed  by  ( if- 
ferent  persons  to  accoun^  for  the  accident.  Ihe 
bridge-tender,  George  Connor,  has  occnp  ed 
the  post  since  the  bridge  was  built,  ab(  ut 
three  years  ago,  and  is  called  by  the  oflBcers  <  ne 
of  the  best  men  In  their  employment.  .He  a  id 
to  a  reporter  of  The  Times  that  he  had  iiot 
during  the  morning  touched  t^e  lever  whi  ch 
moved  the  latches  securing  the  draw,  and  tl  lat 
five  trains  had  passed  over  during  the  mornii  ig. 
He  did  not,hesaid,  noticehow  thelever  stood,  1  ut 
believed  that  if  it  had  been  improperly  arranj  ed 
he  would  have  noticed  it.  He  showed  how  he 
lever  worked,  across  an  arched  guard  uj  on 
which  it  locked  automatically  to  hold  '  he 
bridge  or  allow  it  to  be  opened-  He  s  dd 
that  none  but  himself,  except  the  nicht 
man,  worked  the  draw.  Just  before  the  9: 2-4 
train  came  alon^,  Capt;  Price's  sail-boat  lad 
come  down  the  nver,  aiid  he  was  about  to  01  en 
the  draw  for  it  as  soon  aA  the  train  had  pass  )d. 
He  had  not,  he  said,  thrown  the  lever  back,  t  nd 
his  theory  for  the  I  displacement  of  he 
latches,  which  he  found  open  after  the  accide  nt, 
was  that  in  some  way  they  were  sprung  back  by 
the  jolting  of  the  train,  j  Mr.  Swaekhamer,  he 
Superintendent  of  Bridges,  said  that  the  late  les 
were  fotmd  open  after  *^'*  train-  had   nasaJML 


and  there  was  no  doubt  that  they  were  op^ 
when  the  train  passed  upon  the  draw.  The 
marks  of  the  wheels  on  the  ties  showed  that 
the  engine  had  gone  safely  on.  The  swaying  of 
the  engine  had  moved  the  draw  enough 
to  throw  off  the  tender  and  the 
baggage  car.  and  when  the  locomotive  reached 
the  end  of  the  draw  the  tracks  were  all  six  inches 
out  of  the  way.  The  train  must  have  been 
moving  rapidly,  or  the  engineer  could 
Jiave  stopped  it  sooner.  Mr.  Swaekhamer 
said  it  was  impossible  that  any 
iolting  of  the  train  could  have  thrown  back  the 
lever  and  latches,  which  require  considerable 
strength  to  move  them,  and  when  locked  are 
very  secure  indeed.  Assistant  Superintendent 
Steams  did  not  deny  that  the  latches  were 
found  out  of  place,  but  would  say  nothing 
further  as  to  the  culpability  of  the  bridge-tender.

AFFAIRS  IN  JIAYTL 

EATn  op' ex-president  dominque  in  ex- 
ile—the FACT  COLDLT  RECEIVED— AP- 
PREHEXSIOKS  REGARDIKG  THE  ILLNESS 
OF   PRESIDENT  CANAL. 

Washington,  Aug.  9. — Late  dispatches 
deceived  at  the  Department  of  State  from  Hayti 
Contain  information  of  the  death  of  ex-Presi- 
dent Dominqne,  and  of  the  serious  illness  of 
President  Canal.  Dominquo  died  in  exile  at 
Kingston,  Jamaica,  on  Jtme  2-k  last,  aged  77. 
This  event  produces  no  perceptible  effect  in 
Hayti,  thef  act  being  barely  chronicled,  although 
he  was  chief  piagistrate  from  June  11,  1874, 
to  April  15,4870.  The  official  journal  makes 
no  mention  of  it.  One  obscure  gazette  is  draped 
in  mourning;  another  notices  the  event 
in  doleful  terms.  In  striking  contrast 
to  the  silence  with  which  this  news 
is  received  stands  the  fact  that  the 
remains  of  three  Generals  who  were  shot  under 
Dominque's  authority  have  recently  been  ex- 
humed by  the  Government  for  the  purpose  of 
receiving  honorable  burial,  attended  by  impres- 
sive ceremonies.  The  illness  of  President 
Canal  causes  no  inconsiderable  uneasiness  and 
anxiety  throughout  the  Republic,  in  conse- 
quence both  of  its  length  and  the  fear  that  he 
may  ultimately  feel  obliged  tojnake  a  voyage  to 
Europe.  Indeed*  his  departure  was  at  one  time, 
under  the  advice  of  physicians,  determined  upon. 
Finally,  owing  to  the  advice  of  an  American 
physician,  under  whose  care  he  is  at  present, 
he  was  prevailed  upon  to  he  treated  at 
home.    This  favorable  decision  mav  Im  looked 


npon  as  fortunate  for  the  Republic,  liable  as  it 
is  to  undergo  poUtlcal  ^turbances  at  every 
such  change.  The  Constitution  of  Hayti  pro- 
vides that  the  executive  authority  shall,  in  case 
of  4eath  or  removal  from  office  of  the  President, 
be  handed  over  temporarily  to  the  Cabinet,  there 
being  no  provision  tn  that  instrument  and  no 
precedent  in  Hiaytiun  history — except  that  Son- 
lonque,  in  war,  tind  Dominque,  in  a  friendly 
visit,  went  just  over  the  Dominican  frontiers — 
whereby  the  President  can  ab.^ent  himself  from 
the  country  during  his  term  of  office. 


THE  COTTON  CROP, 


EEPORTS  FROM  LOUISIANA,  MISSISSIPPI,  AKD 
ABKAKSA^— aHE  CROP  IN  A  FLOURISH- 
ING CONpiTION. 

NEW-ORLEAjf8,  La.,  Aug.  9.— The  follow- 
ing is  the  Cotton  Ilichange  crop  report  for  the 
New-Orleans  dfepai-tment  of  Louisiana : 

""We have  received  58  answers  from  28  parishes 
under  dates  ranging  I  from  July  28  to  Aug.  3.  The 
weather,  during  the  early  part  of  July,  has  been  dry : 
toward  the  latter  portion,  rainy,  and  up  to  this  period 
decidedly  more  favorable  than  last  vear.  Stands  are 
universally  £:ood,  and,  compared  w^th  last  year,  are 
much  better.  The  jflant  is  forming,  blooming,  and 
boiling' welL  and  its  present  condition  is  as  satisfac- 
tory as  could  be  desired,  and  much  better  than  it  was 
at  this  time  last  year-  Many  of  our  cwrrespondents 
mention  the  appearance  of  worms,  but,  to  far,  re- 
port no  damage.  The  plant,  although  a  little  late, 
is  clean  and  well  worked,  and  the  prospects  for  a 
good  vield'are  very  promifeing. 

"  J/t#«mppi.— Eight  vthree  reports  from  33  coun- 
ties, dated  HFom  July  28  to  Aug.  4,  say  the  weather 
since  July  1  has  been  favorable,  and  m  many  coun- 
ties more  so  than  last  year,  with  the  exception  of 
Yazoo  aud  Valabush[i  Counties,  from  whence  com 
plaints  of  too  mtich  raiii  are  made.  Stands  are  good, 
except  in  Yalabuslia  County.  The  plant  is  forming, 
blooming,  and '  bolUiig  well.  The  condition  of  the 
crop  is  good,  and  fulJy  as  good  as  last  year,  although 
the  plMit  Is  small  and  backward  in  manv  sections. 
Worms  have  appeared  In  Adams.  Grenada,  Issaquena, 
and  Simpson  Counties,  but  have  done  no  d&mage  so 

•*  Arkanscu. — I^'orty-four  replies  received  from  25 
counties,  dated'  froin  July  28  lo  Aug.  3.  report  the 
w«'ather  in  the  forepiart  of  July  dr>'  and  cool,  since 
which  there  has  beei  too  much  rainy'  weather,  and. 
in  comparison  with  last  year,  has  been  about  equally 
favorable.  The  pl^nt  Is  blooming,  forraine.  anS 
bollinc  well.  The  present  condition  of  the  crop  is  as 
favorable  as  last  j'eiijr.  with  the  ex''eption  of  its  being 
10  daj-s  late.  .Some  (complaints  of  shed<ilng,  rust,  and 
grass  worms  are  reported  iu  one  county,  but  there  is 
no  danger  yet."

LOSa  OF  A  CAPTAiyS  soxs. 
The  Portland  (Me.)  Press  says:  "Further 
partietilars  of  tlie  loss  of  life  on  board  the  ship  Rem- 
brandt, Capt.  Moody,  from  San  Francisco,  which  ar- 
rived Iu  Liverpool  25th  ult.,  were  received  in  Ken- 
nebunk  Mouday.  The  ship  had  a  favorable  run  till 
the  10th  of  May,  when,  In  latitude  49°  south,  longi- 
tude 97°  west,  a  westerly  gale  had  increased  to 
frifihtful  proportions,  the  sea  frequently  boarding 
the  ship  In  the  waist,  doing  more  or  les.s  damage.  In 
the  aflcruoou  of  that  day,  when  the  Captain's  wife, 
their  two  sons,  and  the  stewardess  were  watching  the 
gale  from  the  pilot-house,  <a  covered  entrance  about 
8  feet  square,  protecting  the  entrance  to  the  forward 
cabin.)  a  great  sea  suddenly  broke  through  the  doors, 
washing  Sirs.  Moody  down  the  cabin  stairs  and  into 
the  mate's  room;  ^-hero  she  was  found  inuch  bruised 
aud  with  her  collar-bone  broken.  The  stewardess  was 
forced  through  [the  leo  do^r  aud  washed  round  the 
cabin  into  the  port  shrouds,  where  she  was  rescued 
with  two  ribs  ^o|ceD  and  other  injuries.  Nothing 
was  seen  or  hea^fd  of  the  two  boys,  who  were  in- 
stantly washed  o|at  into  the  foaming  waves.  As  the 
ship  was  scuddiilgjbetore  a  mighty  gale,  with  such  a 
sea  as  no  weU-maxuied  life-boat  comd  live  in,  Capt. 
Moody  was  powerless  to  make  any  attempt  to  save 
the  lads,  the  oSlcets  and  crew  barely  able  to  care  for 
themselves  and  the  sufTerine  women.  Tho  broken 
bones  of  Mrs.  Moody  and  the  stewardess  were  set 
the  following  day  under  the  dl.sadvantages  of  a 
raging  sea,  with  cabiu  doors  and  windows  boarded 
up,  and  hardly  a  dry  spot  to  place  them  on.  Mr.  W. 
O.  Cotisens.  the  second  mate,  escaped  without  in- 
jury, thougli  washed  across  the  top  of  the  cabin.  He 
was  saved  uy  clutching  the  lee  ran.  The  women  bad 
nearly  recovered  from  their  accidents  when  the  ship 
arrived.  The  boys  were  the  pnly  children  of  Capt. 
Moody,  and  pets  pn  board  the  ship,  as  well  as  be-

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  0. — President  Gor- 
man, of  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  yester- 
day informed  Gtov.  Carroll  that  it  was  useless  to 
attempt  to  further  parley  with  the  striking 
canal-boatmen,  and  requested  him  to  put  in 
force  the  measures  to  open  the  blockade  that 
were  contemplated  in  the  early  part  of  the  week 
and  postponed  in  the  hope  of  settling  affairs 
peaceably.  The  Governor,  therefore,  this  morn- 
ing issued  the  following  proclamation  : 

"Whereas  it  has  been  represented  to  me  by  the 
State's  Attorney  of  Washington  County  that  the 
travel  upon  the  Chesai>eake  and  Ohio  Canal,  a  pubUc 
highway  of  this  State,  is  impeded  by  riotous  persons, 
who.  in  open  violation  of  law,  have  conspired  to  re- 
sist the  pasaase  of  boats  engaged  in  their  legitimate 
business;  and 

^Vhe^eE«,  valuable  property  belonging  to  citizens  of 
this  State  has  been  unlawfully  buraod  aud  destroyed, 
and  the  ci^'ll  authorities  represent  that  It  is  Impos- 
siblftt  for  them  to  arrest  and  bring  to  justice  the 
offeifders  ; 

Therefore.  I,  John  Lee  Carroll,  Governor  of  Mary-

manding all  persouH  who  are  engaged  in  unlawfully 
obstructing  leicitlmate  travel  upon  the  said  caual  to 
disperse  at  once;  and  I  hereby  call  upon  all  law-

tion of  the  law.  and  In  tho  arrest  of  persons  who 
have  been  engaged  in  rioting  and  the  destruction  of 
Tiroperty.  Aud  I  further  give  full  notice  aud  warn- 
ing that  every  means  which  the  laws  place  In  the 
hands  of  the  hxecutive  shall  be  used,  if  necessarj-. 
to  \-indicate  the  authority  of  the  State  and  protect 
the  citizens  in  tlieir  rights  to  use  the  public  highway 
for  the  purposes  of  travel  and  trade. 

Given  at  the  City  of  Baltimore,  under  my  hand  and 
the  great  seal  of  the  .*Stuto  of  Mar\-laud,  the  Hth  day 
of  Angust.  1877.  JOHN  LEE  CAKKOLU 

By  order  of  tlie  Governor. 

R.  C.  HOLLyiMY,  Secretary  of  State. 

Orders  were  ishued  lawt  evening  to  the 
Seventh  Regiment  to  hold  itself  ready  for 
marching,  and  the  Fifth  Regiment  and  the  First 
Battalion  of  artillery  were  also  ordered 
to  be  in  readiness.  To  avoid  any  repe- 
tition of  the  scenes  of  riot  of  July 
20,  the  military  movements  were  kept  a 
profound  secret.  The  Seventh  Rcfrinient  broKe 
camp  at  daybreak,  and  at  0  o'clock  left"  Cam- 
den Station  400  strong,  for  Sir  John's  Ruu, 
the  road  station  opposite  Hancock,  on  the  canal, 
where  the  strikers  have  300  boats  fa.stened  up. 
The  street.s  were  perfectly  quiet,  and  there  was 
rio  opposition  made  to  the  troops.  The  Fifth  Regi- 
lueiit  and  the  Artillery-  remain  at  their  posts  in 
ruadine.sH  to  move  at  a  minute's  notice. 

(ien.  Barry,  commandins  at  Fort  McHenry. 
was  also  callfd  upon  for  aid,  and  he  telesraphtd 
Gt-n.  Getty  at  Cuml>erlaud,  who  sent  200  regn- 
lars  to  Sir  John's  Run.  The  bi>atnien  have 
shown  a  very  defiant  temper.  Tliey  have 
organized  H  Urtjtherhood  and  established  posts 
along  the  line  of  tlnj  canal.  %vith  hcad-quarti-rs 
at  Hancock,  and  allow  no  boat  to  pass  unless 
they  uro  satisfied  that  it  is  getting  .$1  per  ton 
for  (Uirryin;;  coal  to  (jreor;,-otown,  in  which  cas*? 
thev  furnish  it  with  a  pass  to  other  posts. 

\Vhcn  the  regular  soldiers  reached  Hancock 
this  momin{^  they  arrested  nine  boatmen  who 
Mere  pointed  out  by  the  .Sheriff  of  Washington 
County  as  ringleaders  who  had  been  engaged  iu 
the  burning  of  a  canal  steamer  last  week.  They 
were  placed  under  guard  and  immediately  taken 
to  Hagerstowu  aud  lodged  in  jail.  The  boat- 
men jeered  at  the  troops,  but  made  no  active

rived this  evening  at  Hancock,  and  dispatches 
from  there  to-night  say  that  the  canal  is  open 
aud  the  blockade  raised.  A  few  boats 
loaded  to  till  a  Xew-York  contrattt 
passed  through  undor  militarj'  guard.  The 
troops  wiil  be  stationed  along  the  canal  to  po- 
lice it  and  prevent  the  rutting  of  the  tanks, 
which  has  been  threatened.  The  strike  still 
coniiuue.s,  however,  and  there  v:xn  be  no  re- 
sumption of  busiuess  unless  tho  miners  anil 
boatmen  obtain  their  tlgrurt^s  or  acree  to  resume

coutimufs  to  liold  out.  and  there  are  but  three 
small  mint'.H  in  operation  throughout  the  Cum- 
berland region.  The  breaking  of  tho  blockade 
has  demonstrated  the  po-vcr  of  the  State,  but  it 
does  not  improve  the  situation  so  far  as  bujti- 
ness  is  cuncorned.

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  0. — The  authorf- 
lles  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  have 
liad  no  conlidence  in  the  rumor  of  a  renewal  of 
the  strike  to-morrow,  but  to  satisfy  themselves 
they  to-day  summoned  to  bead'quarters  a  nam 
l)ep  of  the  oldest  and  most  loyal  of  the  employes 
among  the  train  hands,  including  engineers, 
tirenien,  and  brakeiuen,  and  questioned  them 
on  the  subject.  The  men  were  unanimous 
in  denying  tliat  any  such  movement 
was  contemplated  lo  their  knowledge,  and  the 
engineers,  ull  members  of  the  Brotherhood, 
'were  especially  emphatic  in  their  statements 
that  tlie  society  had  not  directed  a  strike.  The 
chief  oflicials  of  the  n>ud  are  .satisfied  that  they 
wiil  have  no  further  trouble  v.ith  their  hands 
at  present,  but  ihey  seem  to  share  in  the  gen- 
eral uppreliension  that  there  may  bo  renewed 
disturoanccs  in  the  Fall. 

Vice-President  King  was  to-*lav  questioned  as 
to  the  truth  of  the  reports  that  f*resident  Gar- 
rett intends  to  resign  his  position.  He  author- 
ized the  most  ]>ositivc^  contradiction  of  all  such 
.•statement**,  stating  tlmt  Mr.  Garrett  has  not 
contemplated  anv  such  action,  nor  has  it  been 
iirgisi  uiHtn  hira  by  any  of  his  Directors  or 
stockholders,  as  has  bp»*n  rumored.  "  They  arc

lutions were  passed  in  favor  of  the  nine-hour 
movement,  and  the  strict  limitation  of  over- 
time, the  election  of  working  men  to  Pariia-

ATrmtPT  BY  THE  MOB  TO  GAIN  POSSESSION 
OF  THE  MATOB'S  POSSE — ITS  MEMBERS 
GO  TO  "WILKESBARRE  TO  SURREKDEB 
THEMSELVES  TO  THE  AUTHORITIES. 

ScRANToy,  Penn.,  Aug.  9.^A  diabolical 
attempt  was  made  last  night  at  about  9  o'clock 
to  surrender  six  of  the  Mayor's  late  posse  into 
the  hands  of  the  mob  upon  a  writ  of  coromit- 
ment.  Carriages  were  provided,  and  the 
mob  assembled  at  Taylorville,  bat  their  plan 
was  thwarted  bv  the  prompt  action  of  the  mili- 
tary, which  took  possession  of  the  posse.  The 
Eosse,  escorted  by  two  companies  of  7?ilitla, 
ave  gone  to  "Wilkesbarro  by  special  tra&  this 
morning  to  stirrender  themselves  on  the  charges 
of  murder  found  against  them  by  Alderman 
Mahah's  jury,  and  give  bail  for  their  appearance 
at  the  trial.  They '  take  with  them  bailsmen 
representing  several  millions  of  dollars.  The 
constables'  refuse  to  surrender  their  warrants, 
and  wish  to  take  the  committee  before  the  Al- 
derman in  the  Sixth  Ward,  which  would  cer- 
tainly have  caused  a  serious  riot.  The  commits 
tee  have,  therefore;  gone  before  the  Judge  at 
Wilkeabarre  to  avoid  arrest  here. 

Gov.  Hartranft  arrived  this  afternoon  br 
special  l^ain,  accompanied  by  his  .staff  and  a 
body  guard  of  Sliutia.  He  remains  in  his 
palace  car  with  an  engine  attached  ready  to 
start  at  a  moment's  notice.  The  two  companies 
of  Militia  have  returned  from  AVilkesbarrc,  hav- 
ing left  the  Vigilantes  there  under  a  nominal 
Sheriff's  arrest.  They  wUl  return  to  Wilkes- 
barro in  the  morning  to  take  witnesses  against 
the  Vigilantes.  Alderman  Mahon  has  been  no- 
tified to  go  to  Wilkesbarre  in  the  morning  with 
the  witnesses.  It  is  considered  doubtful 
whether  he  will  go ,  or  not,  as  the  Alderman 
claims  that  his  commitment  to  the  County  Jail 
is  valid,  and  that  no  witnesses  are  required  be- 
fore the  Judge  at  Wilkesbarre.  The  city  is  per- 
fectly quiet. 

WiLKKSBAKRE.  Penn.,  Aug.  9. — The  men  in 
the  Ifehigh  and  Susiiuehauim  Railroad  car 
shops  at  Ashley  wont  to  work  to-<iay.  The 
members  of  the  Scrunton  Vigilance  Committee 
who  fired  into  the  mob,  were  brought  here  to- 
day under  arrest  for  murder  on  warrants 
issued  by  Alderman  Mahon.  They  had  a  hear- 
ing bcfop^  Judge  Dana,  and  were  admitted  to 
baiL        ' ' 

Mauch  Chttn'K,  Penn.,  Aug.  0. — Frank  Heck 
and  Barney  Oarj'  were  arrested  at  Penobscot 
to-day,  charged  with  complicity  in  the  riot  at 
Odenweldei*'s  Station  during  tho  .*;trike  on  the 
Lehigh  and  Susquehanna  Railroad. 

THE  PORT  JOHNSON  STRIKE  ENDED. 

THE  STRIKERS  RETURN  TO  WORK  AFTER 
BEING  PROMISED  THEIR  OLD  RATES— REV. 
FATHER  KILLEEN'  UT  THE  CHARACTER  OP 
MEDIATOR. 

The  committee  appointed  by  the  400  striking 
workmen  of  the  Lehigh  and  Wilkesbarre  Company, 
at  Port  Johnson,  to  confer  with  the  officials  of  the 
company  in  this  City,  had  an  interview  wiib^teceiver 
Tillinghust  at  his  office,  No.  71  Broadway,  yesterday 
morning.  Rev.  Father  KUleen,  of  St.  Mary's  Roman 
Catholic  Clinrch,  Bei'ge.n  Point,  who  throughout  the 
troubles  has  acted  as  the  aini'nw  curiae  of  both  the 
coatending  parties,  nccompaiiied  the  committee,  and 
gave  them  the  benefit  of  his  iuliueuce  and  cotm- 
sel.  Mayor  Meigs  and  Councilman  Lane,  of  Bayonne, 
were  also  present.  T'le  members  of  the  delegation, 
Jlessrs.  Patrick  Kolait,  l*eter  Kelly.  Bernard  Lilly, 
TiuVotby  Clifford,  and  John  Collins,  were  introdur-ed 
to  the  Receiver,  and  Kolan.  on  behalf  of  the  commit- 
tee, explained  the  nature  of  the  men's  grievances. 
AJthowizh  their  work  is  of  the  most  ardnoiis  descrip- 
tion, they  have  been  cut  down  from  15  to  10  cents 
per  hour.  This  was  not  enough  to  enable  them  to 
Duy  bread  for  their  families,  and  they  were  therefore 
compelled  to  respectfully  i-equest  that  their  old  rate 
of  pay  be  restored.  The  •'top-men' — those  who 
wortced  on  the  dock — received  15  cents  per  hour,  and 
the  '"wliHelera" — ^those  who  worked  below — thought 
that,  in  justice  to  themselves,  they  should  receive  at 
lenst  as  much  as  the  "toi>-raen."  They  hadnowbeen 
f'furd.'iyit  on  a  strike,  but  so  farfrom  attemptinj;  to  in- 
jure the  property  of  theuompany.  they  had  beenready 
lo  assemble  at  the  first  t»p  of  the  church 
wll  to  protect  it.  Tiiey  were  wiKinc  to  go  to 
work  Hsain  at  once,  but  they  coidd  not  do  so  at  10 
cents*  an  hour,  a  rate  which  wiis  wjuivalent  to  star\-a- 
fioD.  Mr.  Tilliiit^hast,  in  reply,  said  that  he  was  onlv 
one  of  the  officers  of  the  road.bm  for  his  part  he  was 
willing  to  promise  them  as  libeml  ircatmeut  a.-*  tho 
times  would  justify.  The  company  hsd  alwsys  been 
lil>eral  to  its  employes.  "O  mtirh  so  that 
while  from  $25.000.<KK5  lc.  :::30.000.000  li.-id  be.*u 
iiivosied  in  tht-  enterprise,  it  h.^rf  only  paid  two  dl%-l- 
di-nds,  one  of  5  aud  the  other  of  3  per  cent.  At  the 
present  time  they  weiv  ruuniiiK  nier'-ly  to  keep  their 
men  employed.  If  the  latter  were  willing  to  work  at 
the  jirT'cs  offered.  ^  which  were  rettUy  higher 
than  those  otJier  '  comjuiuies  were  payiiiii. 
they  could  do  bo.  but  if  not.  thev  must  remain 
idle.  The, committee  looked  doubtful  at  this,  and 
lin-'illy  Father  Killeen  had  an  interview  with  Mr.  Til- 
linchiist,  in  which  /the  latter  plodj^od  his  word  of 
lionor  in  the  presence  of  Mayor  Mei^  and  Council- 
man Ijime.  that  If  rho  wheelers  could  not  make  1.5 
cents  per  hour,  they  should  be  paid  at  that  rate  for 
30  days,  if  he  had  to  make  up  tlie  difference  out  of 
lit"  own  pftcket.  At  the  close  of  the  month  the  m^m 
and  the  company  could  come  to  some  equitable  agree- 
ment reispecring  the  future.  Tho  delegation  then  re- 
turned to  Port  Johnson,  where  the  women  of  the 
strikers  bad  been  havinc  several  Istiphable  encoun- 
ters with  the  Oemums  tromthis  City  nnd  Elizabeth- 
port,  who  had  been  employed  by  the  co"mpany. 
During  the  afternoon  one  ot  the  Germans  started  for 
a  spring  a  short  distance  from  the  docks  to  pet  some 
water.  The  women  chased  him.  fore  his  bucket  from 
him  and  carried  awav  the  handle,  beside  inflicting 
upon  him  considerable  personal  damage.  Another 
German  was  chased,  stoned,  and  rotten-egged,  finally 
receivii^  a  serious  wound  on  the  back  of  tiie  he&d. 
(Jid  cats  and  other  mortuary  tvHck  were  tiurled  at 
the  (Tennans  employed  on  the  dock,  nnd  before  the 
close  of  the  dav  half  of  their  number  had  retired 
rather  tlian  endure  the  peltinir  to  which  they  were, 
subjected. 

At  7  o'clock  in  the  evening  the  meetinc  to  consider 
the  terms  oflfered  by  the  company  took  place.at  an 
unoccupied  hall  on  Evergrc-en-Klnet,  **  Pat  "  Kolan, 
the  spokesman  of  the  committee,  pn^sided,  and 
"Father  Tom,"  as  he  is  affectionately  termed 
by  his  parishioners.  sat  beside  him.  The 
proceedings  were  characterized  by  the  utmost 
Qe<-orum  and  good  order.  Nolan  explaineii  tlie 
nature  of  the  coraproml.se  offered  by  tlie  company, 
and  asked  the  workmen  whether  they  were  prepared 
to  accept  Iti  Barney  Ktlly.  Timothy  Clifford,  and 
Michatd  Deo  gave  tlit-ir  opinions  generally  in  favor 
of  accepting  the  terms  as  tho  best  thut-oould  be  got 
under  the  circumstances.  Finally,  Father 
Tom .  took  the  tloor,  and  in  an  exceed- 
Insiy  diplomatic  and  woll-worded  address,  threw 
the  weight  of  his  o^dnion  In  favor  of 
resuminir  work.  Thv  m(*n  recfived  his  advice  with 
three  cheers,  and  by  a  tm.inintou.t  votp  resolved  t-o  re- 
sume work  to-*biy.  ASt^r  three  cheers  for  Father 
'J'oni.  and  three  more  for  "the  press."  the  meeting 
adjourned.  Tlie  conduct  of  the  strikers  in  reftising  to 
injure  the  property  of  the  company,  hasjron  them 
the  sympathy  of  the  entire  community,  although  the 
letigtha  to  which  some  of  their  women  went  are  con- 
sidered nnjnstiflable.  J.  H.  Martin,  the  local  agent 
of  the  company,  saya  thnt  he  will  punish  the  "man" 
who  knocked  down  the  Oemian  wT.tli  a  stone  at  all 
c^ats.  but,  as  Father  Tom  says,  "  the  trouble  is  the 
man  was  a  woman,  and  hi>w  are  you  going  to 
identify  one  woman  out  of  ^00  I" 


THE  CASE  OF  COLLECTOR   FREELAXD. 

'Rie  interest  in  Brooklyn  over  the  prospective 
removal  of  Collector  Freeland  does  not  abate.  The 
charges,  and  the  probability  of  their  being  sustained 
or  not,  are  still  generally  discussed.  Xo 
lime,  it  Is  understood,  has  been  fij^ed  for  the 
formal  examination.  lievenue  Acent  Brooks  vis- 
ited the  Collector's  oflBco  on  Wednesday  and  made 
a  partial  examination  of  the  records  to  obtain  in- 
formation relative  to  the  allcjod  retention  and  mis- 
tise  of  money  Teceived  on  abatement  account. 
The  officials  tmdcr  Mr.  Freelaud  a<tKert  that  a 
thorough  examination  will  show  that  no  wromr  has 
been  committed,  but  that  the  business  of  the  Gov- 
ernment has  been  properly  i-ondncted,  and  that 
the  reports  are  in  a  proper  condition.  The  report 
that  Mr.  Freehind  is  to  be  removed  to  make  room  for 
Gen.  Hayes  gains  ground,  and  it  appears  to  be  the 
opinion  of  business  men  that  Mr.  Freeland  should 
make  room  for  a  man  of  more  business  capacity. 

SERIOUS  STAHJSiyO  AFFRAY. 
Joseph  Guenther,  a  Deputy  Sheriff  and 
special  Police  officer,  on  duty  in  Justice  Guck's 
court,  Williamsburg,  was  arrested  laat  night  for 
stabbing  one  Peter  Richard  in  the  left  breast,  just 
above  the  nipple,  on  Montrose-avenne,  near  the  Ix>ng 
Island  Railroad  Depot.  Both  had  been  to  Bockaway, 
and  Guenther  was  much  under  the  influence  of  liquor, 
but  they  had  not  exchanged  a  word.  Guenther  had 
qnarreled  with  his  wife,  and  saying  he  woidd  fix 
somebody  for  it,  drew  a  knife  and  stabbed 
Richard  as  he  was  passing.  Richard  staggered 
to  Boshwick-avenue,  and  then  fell,  exhausted  from 
loss  of  blood.  .  He  wasc&rried  to  the  station-house, 
where  he  was  attended  by  Surgeons  Preble,  Hesse, 
and  Murphy,  and  was  then  taken  home  ii^^an  ambu- 
lance. Guenther  was  arrested  shortly  after,  in  com- 
gany  with  Jack  Whitford,  an  ofScer  of  the  City 
ourt,  who  had  witnessed  the  stabbing.  He  denied 
havinjf  committed  the  crime,  but  waa  loclced  up. 
The  weapon  was  not  found.  -/

TlICTtSDAV,  Aug.  9— P.  JI. 

The  shjire  speeulation  was  les.s  active  to- 
day tLaa  oa  ye^^teniuy,  and,  as  has  been  tlie 
casa.fur  some  time  past,  was  almost  exclusively 
connned  to  the  professioual  operators.  Western 
Vnion  was  again  the  leader  of  the  market,  being 
the  most  active  stock  and  recording  the  widest 
and  most  freqtient  fluctuations.  At  the  opening 
the  shares^  under  purchases  said  to  be  for  the 
account  of  a  bear  operator,  advanced  sharply, 
but  when  the  demand  from  this  source  was  sat- 
isfied a  decline  of  li  i>  cent,  ensued.  Later  the 
price  recovered  1  t*"  cent,  on  reports,  which  sub- 
sequently proved  to  be  well  founded,  that  com- 
mittees representing  the  Western  Union 
and  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Companies 
hud  been  appointed,  and  would  meet 
on  Tuesday  next  for  the  purpose  of 
making  arrangements  to  raise  rates  to  com- 
peting points.  The  improvement  following  the 
prointJgation  of  thisreport  was  not  maintained, 
aud  the  price  finally  closed  within  a  fraction  of 
the  lowest  point  of  the  day.  The  trunk  lines 
and  the  Granger  shares  wore  generally  firm 
throughout  the  day,  being  favorably  affected 
by  the  expectation  of  a  large  freight  business  In 
the  Fall  months.  The  eoal  shares  were  weak 
and  depressed  at  the  opening,  but  subsequently 
assumed  a  firmer  tone  and  partly  recovered  the 
early  decline. 

The  total  transactions  reached  ;  105,026 
shares,  which  embraced  26,245  Western  Union, 
25,700  Lake  Shore,  11,250  Delaware,  Lack-

G,277  were  from  the  West.  State  Butter  of  fine  quality

medium  am^  lower  grades  there  Lh  an  ample 
supply,  and  buyers  are  slightly  favored.  West- 
em  Butter  is  in  excessive  supply,  a  large 
portion  of  it  arriving  in  bad  order,  owing  to  delayn  oa 
the  railroads  and  the  heat.  Such  of  it  as  is  really  ehoiofl,

ABATEMENT   OF   TITE  EXCITEIS^NT 

BECREASS  CC  THS  NUUBSB  OF  APPLICANTS 
POB  UCKN'SES  —  THE  EXCISE  BOARD 
AWAITING  A  DECISION  FEOM  POLICE 
.  JUSTICE  SBtlTH  —  TWO  OP  THE  POLICE 
COMMISSIOBTEBS  IN  FAVOR  OP  RECOGNIZ- 
fNQ  THE  "  RECEIPTS"  —  UNLICENSED 
DEALERS  GSVINO  BAIL, 
At  the  offices  df  the  Excise  Department  jes- 
-ierday  there  was  a  <very  perceptible  decrease  In  the 
namber  of  applicant^  as  compared  with  the  crowds 
whichbeslegedtheplao^dnringthepreeediiigflTeda^s. 
The  QDinber  of  applications  made  was  195,  and  the 
total  amount  received  therewith  $8,648  50,  making 
a  total  of  2,895  dealers-who  have  paid  their  license. 
f(»es.  A  few  additional  licenses  were  granted,  the 
majority  of  the  applicants  being  still  left  for  indefi- 
nite perioda  to  rely  for  protection  from  arrest  on  the 
now  manifestly  tiseless  "receipts."  The  Bxcise 
Commissioners  exeose  the  delay  In  the  consideration 
of  the  applications  on  the  groond  that  a 
large  number  of  them  are  for  ale  and 
beer  licenses,  which  cannot  be  passed  upon 
until  such  time  as  Police  Justice  Smith  feels  dis- 
posed to  render  a  decision  in  the  case  against  the 
.  board  relative  to  the  granting  of  ale  and  beer  11- 
.censes.  It  Is  the  opinion  of  the  members  of  the 
hoard  that  if  the  decision  does  not  support  the  action 
-of  the  board  in  granting  lioenses  of  that  c^ass.  It  will 
be  rendered  by  Jostire  Smith  under  amisnnderstand- 
ing  of  the  statutes  goveming*the  Excise  Department. 
President  Morton  thus  explains  the  authority  of  the 
board  to  grant  such  licenses ;  The  law  of  1857 
authorized  the  granting  of  licenses 'for  the  sale  of 
Strong  and  Bpirituous  liqnors^  to  hotels.  Inns,  and 
taverns,  hut  made  no  mentiomof  beer  or  ale.  Lager 
•beer  at  that  time  was  an  nnlcnown  beverage,  and  it 
was  not  until  1-865  that  its  inebriatmg  qualities  were 
,  decisively  tested  and  declared.  On  the  year  following 
■'the  discovery  that  lagor  beer  was  intoxicating,  the 
HetropolitaiLA^xeise  Board  was  clothed  with  power 
to  specially  license  the  selling  of  ale  and  beer,  the 
authority,  however,  not  extending  outside  of  the 
limits  of  the  Metropolis  until  18G9,  when  a  law 
amendatory  to  that  of  1857  was^passed,  authorizing 
the  sale-of  ale  and  beer  in  all  o^er  portions  of  the 
State.  Neat  came  the  act  of  1870,  which  repealed  the 
net  of  186t>.  and  gave  the  Excise  Board  powertogrant 
license*  to  any  person  or  persons  of  good  moral  charao- 
t*;r.  Although  the  act  of  1870  repealed  the  Metro- 
politan art,  it  expressly  declared  that  the  granting  of 
licenses  f«»r  ale  and  beer  was  lawful  throughout  the 
entire  Kt&te.  and  it  is  on  this  saving  clause  that  the 
present  Bo  ird  of  Excise  rests  its  power  to  issue  ale 
and  beer  litenses. 

Concerning  the  question  of  recognizing  the  receipts 
as  teraporar]  ■  license  certificates,  Police  Commission- 
era  Smith  s.nd  Nichols  are  indivldaallv  in  favor  of 
the  proposititm.  Definite  action  would  have  been 
taken  concerning  the  matter  yesterday  had  a 
quonvTU  of  tb*'  Commissirtners  been  in  attendance. 
but  it  was  necessarily  deferred  m  consequence  of  the 
absence  ot  Mesa  ra.  Erhardt  and  Wheeler,  who  are  at 
.present  out  of  town.  Concmissioner  Nichols  stated 
vesterday  that  he  and  his  colleague,  Gen.  Smith,  had 
jntimate^.  in  an  ixnofBcial  "way,  to  several  Captains 
that  the  receipts  ought,  as  a  matter  of  simple  justice, 
to  be  resiwcted  by  the  membere  of  the  force,  and 
that  all  arreets  of  delinquent  dealers  should  "be 
restricted'  to  court  hours.  Apparently  very  little 
interest  is  manifested  by  the  great  body  of  dealers  in 
the  measurtsof  the  so-called  protective  associations. 
The  fact  is  aisily  explained.  To  use  the  language  of 
a  prominent. dealer,  they  take  jio  stock  in  some  of  the 
organi'  ations .  owing  to  the  h^Uef  entertained  by 
many  that  ttB''y  have  really  accomplished  nothing  in 
the  "way  of  .bettering  the  condition  of  the  trade. 
Among  men  er.  gaged  in  the  liquor  traffic  in  common 
■with  the  representatives  of  oUier  callings,  there  are 
persons  who  nw^re  or  less  incline  to  demagogism,  who 
delight  in  organizing  "  societies  "  with  no  defined  ob- 
jects in  view,  and  who  take  special  delight  in  passing 
njeanineless resolutions  on  all  occasions.  Men  of 
this  stamp  compose  thr  governing  power  in  at  least 
<ine  or  two  of  ihe  existing  puny  organizations  of 
liqnor-dealers.  '  They  are  at  present  railing  upon 
thoir  brethren  to  "  unite  : "'  but  events  in  the  history 
of  the  liquor-dcaleE3'  associations  have  shown  that 
they  are  the  men  wLo'would  most  likely  cause  a  dis- 
ruption.

THE  TWENTY  EIQHTB  A.T  CREEDMOOR. 
The  Twenty-eighth  Regiment,  Fifth  Brigade, 
Brookh-n,  went  to  Creedmoor,  under  command  of 
Col.  Obemier,  for  target  practice  yesterday.  There 
were  175  men  present  at  roU-calL  Owing  to  the 
threatening  aspect  of  the  weather  in  tho  early  morn- 
ing, it  was  nearly  10  o'clock  before  it  was  decided  to 
run  the  risk  of  getting  caught  in  a  rain  storm.  |  The 
troops  went  to  the  range  by  way  of  Queens,  and 
marched  from  that  station  to  Creedmoor.  Upon  ar- 
ri>-ing  at  the  range  a  heavy  rain  commenced  flailing, 
which  lasted  an  hour  and  a  half,  and  ^delayed  the 
shooting  for  that  len^h  of  time.  When  the  practice 
rommenced  the  conditions  of  weather  were  excellent. 
The  sky  being  overcast,  a  clear  gray  light  existed, 
which  made  the  targets  statid  out  clear  and  distinct, 
and  good  scores  were  made  at  100  and  150  yards. 
The  number  who  qualified  at  those  distances,  by 
making;  an  aggregate  score  of  -5  out  of  a  possible 
50  points  at  5ie  two  ranges,  to  shoot  at  300  and 
400  vards.  was  120.  Capt.  J.  H.  Story,  ot  Gen. 
Jour''an'3  staff,  superintended  the  shooting,  as- 
Bi«ed  by  First  Lieut.  I>ouis  Bossert,  of  the  regiment. 
The  aggregate  scores  at  both  ranges  of  300  and  400 
j-ards  made  by  each  competitor  were  as  follows  :

THE  OARBAOEHUMPUfO  TROUBLE. 
In  relation  to  the  embarrassment  caused  by 
the  recent  decision  of  Judge  Donohue  discontinuing 
the  injunction  obtained  by  the  Police  Board  to  pre- 
vent the  Brooklyn  Police  authorities  and  the  Shore 
Inspector  from  interfering  with  the  dumping  of 
garbage  at  sea,  Police  Commissioner  Nichols  says 
that  he  is  unable  to  determine  at  present  how  gar- 
baae  will  be  dUposed  of  in  Ihe^tnre.  Offers  to 
allow  the  dumping  of  garbage  had  been  made  by 
nrivate  parties  on  both  the  East  and  >orth  Rivers,  and 
iome  of  these,  in  aU  probabilitv.  would  be  accepted. 
The  difficulty  lay  solely  \vith  the  disposition  of  garb- 
age, as  the  Btreet-sweepings  could  easUy  he  got  rid 
Jo?  The  dtanpingof  garbage  on  Barren  Island  he 
thought  impraeticable.  owing  to  the  llabihty  of  the 
scowlbelng  swamped  by  the  rough  sea.  In  conclusion, 
Commisaloner  Nichols  saJd  that  the  statement  of 
PUot  Commisaioner  Blunt  that  ashes  and  garbage

POOE    OLD    JUBE'S  COMPLAINT — HIS  EXPERI- 

^  ENCEOP      A  GALVANIC  BATTEaY  IN  THE 
BOWERT. 

An  amusing  case,  humorons  in  tta  detalhs, 
came  up  for  examination  yesterday,  at  [the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  before  Justice  Smith.  An  aged«id 
feeble  man  who  rejoices  In  the  name  of  Edwin  Jnbe, 
and  whose  place  of  residence  Is  at  No.  75  ElUabeth- 
Btreet,  appeared  before  the  magistrate  and  told  in 
quaint  and  suppliant  tones  how  he]  had  been 
cruelly  and  mercilessly  imposed  ji  upon.  It 
waa  thus :  Mr.  Jube  stated  to  Ihe  Justice 
that  he  was  loitering  about,  Mlpawber-like, 
waiting  for  something  to  turn  up,  when  he  was 
accosted  by  a  young  man  named  Frank  \Smlth,  who 
asked  him  if  he  wouldn't  like  a  job.  Jube  replied  in 
the  affirmative,  and  upon  Inqiring  what  the  job  was. 
Smith  told  him  that  he  would  give  him  ^  to  carry  a 
box  over  to  the  North  River.  The  destination  of  the 
box  was  certainly  somewhat  Indefinite,  put  anyhow 
Jube  jumped  at  the  offer,  thinking  that  he  had  a 
big  bonanza.  Whether  it  was  Smith's  Intention  to 
have  Jube  dump  the  box  or  the  box  and  him- 
self into  the  river,  the  latter  |  did  not 
clearly  explain.  Smith,  being  naturally  a  good- 
hearted  fellow,  a8k(*l  Jube  if  he  *'  Wouldn't  have  a 
beer?''  The  latter  genUeman  consented,  and  they  Im- 
mediately adjourned,  to  a  "  garden  "  in  the  Bowery. 
The  following  is  the  sequel ;  In  the  saloon  afOxed  to 
the  wall  opposite  to  the  b{ir  is  a  "  health  lift," 
which  is  merely  a  powerful  galvanic  b^ittery,  con- 
nected by  a  wire  to  a  shelf  beyond  the  bar.  It 
looks  more  like  a  steam-gauge  than  anything  else. 
After  Jube  had  drunk  his  benefactor's  health  In  a 
S'Cent  schooner  of  lager.  Smith  asked)  him  if  he 
wouldn't  be  so  kind  as  to  take  that  "  clc^k  "  off  the 
wall,  as  it  was  very  loosely  screwed  on.  I  Jube,  with- 
out waiting  to  see  if  the  clock  was  an  eight-day  one 
or  not,  immediately  caught  hold  of  the  Instrument. 
The  clerk  behind  the  bar  touched  a  little  knob,  and 
gave  poor  old  Jube  a  galvanic  shock,  for  Tvhfch  the 
old  nmn  was  not  prepared.  His  legs  da;igled  in  all 
directions,  his  eye-balls  glared,  his  sockets  rolled,  his 
hands  clinched — the  bar,  unfortunately. 

When  asked  by  the  Justice  how  he  fejlt  while  in 
this  position,  he  blandly  replied:  "I  was  amazed  ; 
my  hair  stood  on- end;  my  voice  elunz — I  was  go- 
ing to  say.  Judge,  that  my  voice  clung  to  my  jaws, 
but  it  didn't."'  The  proprietor  of  the  saloon 
coincides  with  Mr.  Jube  in  this  particnlar,  saving 
that  his  voire  was  bounded  on  the  north  ."^de  by  ftar- 
lem  Bridge,  on  the  south  by  the  Battery  Park,  on 
the  east  Sy  the  East  River,  on  the  west  ha*  the  North 
River.  .  The  saloon  keeper,  in  giving  the  reporters 
an  idea  of  how  Mr.  Julie  *■  hullooed,"  saifl  that  whon 
the  gentleman  had  nearly  exhan-tted  bis:  lungs,  a  by 
stander  casually  rem.nrked  to  Mr.  Jnbe  that  there 
was  a  friend  of  his  sick  in  Jersey,  and  as  ced  him  to 
make  less  noise. 

The  Justice,  after  taking  all  the  facts  nto  consid- 
eration, concluded  that  thert>  was  not  sufhcient  evi 
denre  before  the  court  to  issue  a  warrailt  of  arrest 
for  Mr.  Smith,  and  the  old  man  departed,  not  at  all 
pleased  with  his  misjiion.

last  evening  in  the  hall  of  the  association,  No.  130 
Frince-atreet,  and  as  it  was  known  that  a  series  of 
charges  were  to  he  presented  by  ex- Alderman  John 
H.  Brady  against  ex-Assemblyman  Austin  Leake,  the 
I^aident  of  the  association,  who  was  ont  of 
town  at  his  hotel  at  Rockaway,  an  exciting 
session  was  anticipated.  Edward  Hallock,  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  association,  who  is  a  friend  of  Leake,  had 
'  secured  the  room  by  paying  the  clerk  of  the  landlord, 
and  subsequently  Mr.  Brady  re-hired  it  from  the 
landlord  himself,  who  was  not  awar^  of  what  his 
clerk  bad  done.  Hallock  got  to  the  hall  early  in  the 
evening,  and  sat  In  the  lager  beer  saloon  in 
the  basement  underneath  the  meeting-room,  the 
key  of  which  he  had  In  bis  possession. 
Mr.  Brady  came  shortly  afterward,  and  was  told  by 
Hallock,  who  was  quite  demonstrative,  th&t  he  could 
not  have  the  room,  and  that  there  should  be  no  meet- 
ing, and  the  landlord.  Mr.  Kliebe,  who  saw  that 
there  was  likely  to  be  a  disturbance,  said  that  be 
would  not  allow  any  meeting  to  be  held,  and  offered 
to  rei>ay  Mr.  Brady  the  money  he  had  paid 
to  secure  the  room,  which  he  refused 
to  take,  saving  he  had  regtUarly  hired 
it  for  the  association,  and  he  demanded 
possession.  Mr.  Brady  went  away,  and  shortly  re- 
turned with  Mr.  Daniel  Mooney.  the  Vice-President 
of  the  as.so<dation,  and  again  demanded  tho  room,  but 
was  refused  admission  by  both  Hallock  and  the  land- 
lord. In  the  meantime,  several  members  of  the  asso- 
ciatlonthad  entered  the  saloon,  all  of  whom  appeared 
to  be  friends  of  Brady,  and  they  were  de- 
nonneing  the  conduct  of  Hallock.  who 
seemed  to  be  alone  in  bis  opposition 
and  had  retired  to  the  back  part  of  the  saloon,  when 
Brady  returned.  Brady  again  demanded  entrance  to 
the  room,  which  was  again  refused,  when  Vice-Presi- 
dent Mooney  said  that  it  was  the  regular  meeting 
night,  and  the  hour  for  the  meeting  hf^  arrived,  A 
tormal  motion  was  thon  made  that  an  adjournment 
he  taken  to  another  hall,  at  No.  217  Spring-street, 
which  was  carried,  and  the  members  left,  leaving 
Hallock  in  possession. 

On  reaching  the  hall  in  Spring-street  it -was  soon 
filled,  and  shortly  after  tho  Vice-President  called  the 
meeting  to  order  there  were  almut  120  members  in 
the  room.  Tho  C^lain!^un  made  a  brief  statement 
al>out  what  had  occurred,  ami  Martin  Van  Bnren 
Ochiltn'o  waa  cliosen  Secretary  pro  tem.  Several 
prop{i»iitions  for  membership  were  referred  to 
the  Exocutive  Committee,  and  the  resignation

consent  of  the  Association. 

As  Mr.  Brady  n*ad  the  charges,  he  Int-erpol.ited 
several  remarks.  He  said  that  5Ir.  Lowery  waa  a 
son  of  Police  Captain  Lowerj-.  It  would  he  better  for 
the  members  of  the  association  to  tte  Democrats,  or 
to  reside  out  of  the  district  if  they  desired  patronage 
under  President  Leake.  When  Alderman  I>c  Vries 
got  fatj  nomination,  be  was  asked  tu  go  and  see 
Leake,  who  said,  '  "  I  a-sst-ss  you  $800." 
and  De  \'rle8  replied,  ' "  There  It  Is.  and 
put  it  down.  [I.duchter.)  Then  he  wanted  I>e 
Vrles'  check  for  $2.50.  and  got  it,  C)f  the  money  re- 
ceived by  Lv«ke,  he  failed  to  account  for  $1.!1T*JI.  He 
had  no  right  to  handle  anv  *5f  the  money  he  received : 
that  was  exclusively  the  Treasurer's  busiuess.  Lo.ike 
received  nearly  $.'iO(M)  him.st'lf  xmder  pn^tense  of 
running  the  district,  when  about  $l.O0O  would  hav*> 
covered  all  the  legitimate  exptMisox.  I^enki.-  fancK-d 
he  cuold  run  tho  dlstrtnt  in  Democraiir  .style,  and 
that  the  memtiem  of  the  assot»i«tion  would  ne  serfs, 
but  he  was  mistaken.  Hallock  got  .'^LOO  a  month  in 
the  Street-cleaning  Hureau,  and  for  that  waa  willing 
to  be  Leaki>'N  fugleman  and  do  his  dirty  work,  an<l 
Leake  liad  run  off  to  Rockaway  and  lutt  him  to  do  it. 
Tlie  good  R<-publieans  of  the  diRtrict  wanted' to  resur- 
rt*ct  riie  party,  and  they  would  do  it.  [.-\pplausi*.] 
Hallock  had  liesnoirht  him  [  Br»*ivl  not  to  present  the 
charges,  saying  that  I^eake  would  give  him  a  written 
guarantee  to  do  anything  for  him  if  he  would  refrain, 
but  he  had  Indignnntlt  repudiated  the  proposition. 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Araay  it  was  unanimously  re- 
solved to  refer  tho  charges  to  a  committee  ftf  five  to 
InveHtigate  and  report  upon  th<-ra.  and  Mf^ssrs.

THE  FOVRTEESTH  DISTRICT. 

SEVERAL  FEDERAL  OFFICE-HOLDERS  TENDER 
THEIR  RESIGNATIONS  AS  OFFICERS  OF 
THE  ASSOCIATION  —  AN  IMPORTANT 
AMENDMENT  TO  THE  CONSTITUTION 
PASSED — A  PRIMARY  ELECTION  TO  BE 
HELD    THIS   EVENING. 

The  Fourteenth'Assembly  District  Republican 
Association  held  a  special  meeting  last  evening  at  its 
head-quarters,  Xo.  9B  Third-aveotie,  to  receive  the 
resignations  of  those  of  its  officers  who  hold  Federal 
positions.  Mr,  John  R.  Brady,  the  President,  occu- 
pied the  chair.  The  following  named  gentlemen,  de- 
sirous of  acting  in  conformity  with  the  recent  order 
of  President  Hayes,  handed  in  thoir  resignations  : 

Mathew  Hicks,  night  wat'Chman  In  the  C:^Rtom-hou(ie, 
as  Vice-President :  Pranris  Pago.  Day  Innpector,  as 
Second  Vice-President ;  George  Osborne.  Deputy  Col- 
lector, Internal  Revenue  office,  as  Secretary ;  John 
Robert  Nugent,  sampler  In  the  AppralKer^H  nfflee,  as 
member  of  the  Central  Committee ;  Robert  B,  Boyd, 
Deputy  Collet-tor  In  the  Second  Internal  Revenue  Uia- 
trict,  as  member  of  the  Central  Committee ;  Wil- 
liam Hickard,  opener  and  packer  in  the  Appraiser's  De- 
partment, Custom-house,  as  Sergeant-at-Arms  ;  Thomas 
W.  Robertson,  clerk  in  the  Eighth  Division  of  the  Cus- 
tom-house, as  Inspector  ot  Election ;  P.  Snydor.  clerk  in 
the  Appraiser's  Department,  Custom-house,  as  member 
of  the  Central  Committee;  James  £.  Martin  and  P.  H. 
Owen,  letter-carriers.  Post  Office,  as  members  of  the 
Ejtecntlve  Committee,  and  F.  C.  McCready,  clerk  In  the 
Post  Office,  as  memi>er  of  the  Executive  Committee. 

Tho  re-^igTiations  were,  on  motion  of  Gen.  Pinck- 
ney,  accepted.  Mr.  Brady,  the  President  of  the  as- 
sociation, and  Mr.  Ira  Merritt,  the  Treasurer,  are 
not  oCQce-hoIders.  The  former  is  a  merchant  doing 
business  on  Thtrd-avenue  and  the  latter  is  a  real  es- 
tate broker.  Gen.  Pinckney,  on  behalf  of  the  Cen- 
tral Committee,  reported  that  the  committee  com- 
posed of  one  member  &om  each  of  the  district  asso- 
ciations, appointed  for  the  purpose  of  de- 
vising a  plan  to  p^^^^te  harmonious  feel- 
ing among  the  Republicans  of  the  City,  had 
neld  a  meeting  on  Tuesday,  with  Col.  Bliss  as 
Chairman.  The  chief  subject  under  consideration 
waa  the  advisability  of  amending  a  certain  article  in 
the  Constitution  of  the  district  associations,  to  the 
tenor  of  which  some  Republicans,  including  members 
of  the  Union  League  Chib,  object,  as  interfering  with 
independent  action  on  their  part  in  regard'  to  nomi- 
nations. After  due  deliberation  the  commiftee  tman- 
imously  concluded  that  it  was  expedient  to  meet  the 
objections  in  a  manner  which  would  result  in  an  ami- 
cable understanding,  now  more  necessary  than  ever 
since  the  promulgation  of  the  recent  order  of  the 
Preisident,  by  which  the  district  associations  are 
deprived  of  tne  active  co-operation  lof  many  hard- 
working Republicans.  Viewing  the  question,  there- 
fore, in  this  light,  the  committee  resolved  to  suggest 
the  adoption  of  the  following  amendment : 

"  Amend  Article  IX,  of  the  Constitution  of  the  District 
Association,  by  striking  oat  the  words  '  and  that  he  In- 
tends Co  tmpport  the  Republican  Party  organization,  of 
wbi^b  the  association  &  a  recogutKe<l  portion,  and  to 
submit  to  the  leg-olly  exprt-ssed  action  of  the  associatlna 
and!  of  the  Central  Committee,  and  to  honorably  Austn^ 
all  nominations  made  by  the  Rcpn^ilirau  Party  tnrongh 
its  legally  constituted  conventions,  called  or  rocomiied 
by  the  Central  Committee  ;  and  that  he  Is  not,  and  will 
not,  l>ecame  n  member  of  any  committee  or  body  which 
does  not  recogtiize  the  authorltj-  of  the  association.'^ 

The  mover  of  the  amendment  explained  that  the 
artif^e  as  amended  cannot  be  interpreted  as  permit- 
ting the  admission  of  others  than  Republicans  to  the 
oaaocUtion.    The  aasodAtioa  tmaaimouriy  adopted 


the  unendsient.  Its  «doptIoD  by  four  other  district 
associations  wHl  carry  it  to  the  Central  Committee 
forlts  consideration.  Aa.ApTvUmlxlary  to  a  primary 
election  to  be  held  this  eTenfauc  at  the  rooms  of  the 
association,  with  the  view  of  fimng  the  vaeancies  in 
the  Board  of  OiBcers.  a  committee  of  three  was  ap- 
pointed to  zhake  nominations.  When  the  election  is 
decided  the  members  of  the  associAtion  will  mareb  in 
a  body  to  the  Pifth-Aventie  Hotel  to  assist  at  the 
serenade  to  be  tendered  to  Senator  Conkllng  on  his 
xettiru  from  Europe. 

THE  FIFTEENTH  DISTRICT. 

HARMONIOUS  MEETING  OF  THE  ASSOCUTION 
— PRESIDENT  LEASE  RESIGNS — ^ALL  CAUSE 
OP  DIFFERENCE  REMOVED. 
The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Fif- 
teenth Assembly  District  Republican  Association, 
held  last  evening  at  the  head-quarters,  No.  352  West 
Thirty-fifth-street,  was  quite  harmonious.  There  was 
a  full  attendance  of  members,  a  large  portion  of 
those  dissatisfied  with  the  result  of  the  primary  elec- 
tion on  the  night  of  July  31  being  present.  Mr.  A. 
V,  Canfield,  who  was  elected  First  Vice-President  on 
that  occasion,  presided.  Before  the  regtilar  business 
of  the  meeting  was  entered  upon,  Mr.  William 
M.  Montgomery  asked  the  Chairman  if  be 
was  aware  that  a  protest  had  been 
made  in  regard  to  the  conduct  of  the  primary  election. 
The  ChMrman  having  replied  in  the  affirmative,  the 
minntes  of  the  last  regtilar  meeting  and  those  of  the 
special  meetitig  at  which  the  primary  was  ordered, 
.  were  then  read  and  afOrmed.  The  Secretary, 
Mr.  Berrian  Keyser,  tnen  read  the 
resimation  of  Mr,  Henry  G.  Leask  from  the  Presi- 
dentfy  of  the  aRsociation,  in  accordance  with  Presi- 
dent Hayes'  civil  sertice  order,  Mr.  Leask  holding 
the  office  of  Examiner  In  the  Appraiser's  Department 
of  the  Custom-house.  The  resignation,  dated  Aug.  1, 
was  accepted,  the  auti-Lcask  party  applauding.  Five 
Republicans,  who  have  recently  come  into  the  dis- 
trict and  were  desirous  of  becnming  members  of  its 
association,  prewnted  certificates  of  member- 
ship in  other  associations  and  were  odmit- 
4ed.  A  candidate  for  membership,  who  has 
been  for  some  time  actively  opposed  to 
Mr.  Leask,  said  that  his  name  had  b6en  before  the 
Committee  on  Admissions  of  the  association 
for  four  months,  and  that  no  action  had 
been  taken  upon  it ;  be  therefore  proposed 
himself  for  membeiBhip  at  this  meeting,  and  called 
upon  tho  association  to  act  immediately.  In  accord- 
anco  with  a  provision  of  the  ^institution  governing 
district  associations,  he  was  elected  by  a  majority 
vote.     The  meeting  then  adjourned. 

Mr.  Canfield,  the  Vice-President  regularly  elected 
at  the  primary  election,  and  Mr.  William' 5l.  Mont- 
gomen.-,  who  has  been  prominent  in  the  antl-Leask 
movement^  after  the  adjournment  said  that  they 
now  believed  that  the  principal  cause  of  difference 
in  the  district  had  been  removed,  and  that 
If  a  candidate  for  the  Presidencj'  of  the  association 
acceptable  to  the  majority  of  both  parties  could  be 
agreed  upon,  no  protest  would  be  presented  to  the 
Central  Committee  against  *the  regularity  of  tlie 
primary  election. 

THE  NINETEENTH  DISTRICT. 
The  primary  election  held  last  evening  by  the 
Republicans  of  the  Nineteenth  Assembly  District,  at 
the  comer  of  Seventieth-street  and  the  Boulevard, 
was  a  very  quiet  and  tame  affair.  Tho  election  waa 
held  to  select  persons  to  fill  offices  whic^h  were  vacat- 
ed on  the  '2d  inst.  by  the  resignation  of  Federal  office-

ploye, and  Mr.  James  Lockwood,  a  Brooklyn  letter- 
carrier,  offered  their  resignatioiLs  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Fourteenth  Ward  Republican  Association  of 
Brooklj-n  last  night.  The  President  of  the  associa- 
tion, Mr.  John  H.  Jeffers,  said  he  did  not  believe 
that  Federal  officials  should  be  allowed  to  run 
party  conventions  and  caucuses,  but  thought  it  an 
outrage  that  President  Hayes  nr  any  man  should 
inak*>  RepublinarvH  sever  their  ronnectitm  with  ward 
orgjuiixations.  which  in  Brooklyn  were,  in  general,  of 
a  so<'ial  nature.     Mr.    Maddox    withdrew    after  re- 

r  ft  ing  the  necessity  of  his  &n  doing.  Mr. 
W.  potter  moved  to  tay  Mr.  Maddnx'n  resiffnation 
on  thf  tahle,  and  in  a  speech  of  some  lencth  declared 
that  l*rcsident  Hayes  could  order  officeholders  to  re- 
sign. b;it  could  not  dl'^tate  to  wara  organizations 
whether  they  should  accept  8U<*b  resignations 
or  not.  Mr.  J.  Warrack  thonght  it  would  get 
Mr.  Maddox  Into  tnmble  if  his  resignation 
were  not  accepted;  and  declared  that  he  had  no  feel- 
ing Bgainst  Maddo.T,  wiierPui»on  Mr.  .T.  Simpson 
said,  '•  Yes.  you  have,  and  I'll  put  ynu  down  .'itairs."

for  Riley,  consuming  about  an  hour  in 
his  argument,;  \  during  the  course  of  which 
he  maintained  that  the  allegations  had  not  been 
proved,  and  that:  Kennedy,  the  principal  witness 
against  his  clitmtj  was  not  worthy  of  belief,  inasmuch 
as  it  was  palpable' that  ho  was  actuated  by  malicious 
motives.  City  ;  Attorney  Prime  followed  with  a

NEW-JERSEY. 

Andrew  B.  Crevey  was  arrested  in  Newark  yes- 
terday for  a  series  of  petty  frauds.  His  victims  num- 
bered about  20,  and  the  highest  amount  he  obtained 
wa^  $29.  the  lowest  $5. 

Tho  last  companies  of  the  Xational  Guard  of 
New-Jersey  that  were  on  duty  during  the  railroad 
troubles  returned  from  Phillipsburg  to  Trenton  yes- 
terday. They  were  Companies  A,  B.  and  D,  Seventh 
Infantry. 

The  last  of  the  troops  stationed  at  Phillips- 
burg to  prevent  riot,  &c..  returned  to  Trenton  yes- 
terday and  were  discharged.  The  riotous  disposition 
has  Rubsidea  and  everytliing  has  been  restored  to 
regularity  and  order  on  the  Kew-Jersey  railroads. 

It  is  now  stated  that  the  $26,000  drawn  from 
the  funds  of  the  Merchants'  Loan  and  Trust  Com- 
pany was  not  money,  but  a  note  for  that  amount. 
which  had  been  offered  for  discount  but  not  acted 
upon,  and  which  in  some  way  had  got  mixed  up  with 
the  company's  as.*tetB  without  the  maker  of  the  note 
ever  having  received  acent  for  it.  Under  the  laws 
of  the  State  it  would  have  had  no  value  even  if  it 
had  not  been  withdrawn. 

The  question  in  dispute  between  the  Board  of 
Education  and  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  of  Paterson. 
as  to  whether  or  not  the  average  enrollment  of  the 
evening  school  pupils  could  be  correctly  and  legally 
combined  with  the  average  enrollment  of  day  pupils, 
on  which  to  base  the  estimates  for  making  yearly  ap- 
propriations for  current  accounts,  will  be  eubradtted 
t-o  .fudge  Dixon,  of  the  Xew-Jersey  Supreme  Court, 
to  decide,  the  Aldermen,  as  the  case  now  stands,  re- 
fusing to  allow  drafts  to  be  made  on  the  City  Treasury 
on  the  current  account  for  evening  schools- 

'' BUSINESS   GOOD." 


HOW  A  PRENCHMAX.  VTXS  SWINDLED. 

Detective  George  H.  Dilks  brought  to  Police 
Head-quarters  last  night  a  swindler  who  has  been 
recently  operating  on  the  "  European  plan."  Mr. 
Jules  Delamalle,  a  Frenchman,  recently  came  to  this 
City  for  the  purpose  of  putting  on  the  market  a  new 
invention.  A  few  days  after  Delamalle's  arrival  he 
was  waited  on  by  Theophile  Eupbrate.  an 
Alsatian,  of  Xo.  4S  West  Sixteenth-street. 
The  Alsatian  introduced  himself  to  the  French- 
man by  a  letter  purporting  to  have  been 
written  by  s  Mr.  Fasch._  recommending  the  bearer  as 
a  responsible  man.  -Eupbrate  then  told  Delamalle 
that  he  was  about  to  go  to  Boston,  where,  he  said,  he 
was  well  and  favorably  known  in  business  circles : 
and  said  he  thought  he  could  introduce  Belamalle's 
invention  there  successfully :  and  he  thus  procured  a 
sample  for  that  purpose.  A  few  days  afterward  Del- 
amalle received  a  telegram  froni  Euphrate,  dated 
Boston,  saying  "Business  good.  Send  box." 
The  box  was  thereupon  sent.  A  couple  of  days  after- 
ward a  second  telegram  was  received  from  Boston 
signed  by  Euphrate,  saying:  "Selling  as  fast  as  I 
can  fill  orders  ;  am  entirely  out ;  send  another  box." 
Delainalle  sent  a  second  box.  A  few  days  after  that 
Eupbrate  sent  Delamalle  a  third  telegram,  sajing ; 
'•Am  compelled  to  hurry  to  Paris :  address  me 
at  Havre.'  'Hiis  telegraph  business,  the  French- 
man eavs,  "was  all  cash  out.  but  no  cash  in: 
80  I  call  zen  on  ze  Police  for  some  assistance." 
The  case  was  given  to  Detective  Dilks.  and  he 
puf^ceedid  in  tracking  the  swindler,  and  finding 
him  on  the  street  in  Sixth-avenue,  arrested  him. 
Tiie  prisoner  was  locked  up  on  the  charge  of  false 
pretenMjs.  The  Police  believe  they  can  identify  the 
Alsatian  as  the  author  of  several  other  singular 
tricks  by  which  many  residents  of  the  City  have 
been  recently  vlctinij^e'd.  They  propose  to  request 
that  the  prisoner  be  remanded  until  eridcuce  can  be 
supplied  :;gainst  hin^

THE  DENMARK  TO  DE  SEIZED. 
The  steam-ship  Denmark,  of  the  National 
Line,  is  to  be  seized  by  the  Customhouse  officials  on 
her  arrival.  Collector  Arthur  has  issued  the  order 
to  this  effect,  through  Deputy  Collector  Phelps,  to 
the  Surveyor  of  the  Port,  and  it  will  be  carried  out 
as  soon  as  the  steamer  arrives.  The  investigations  of 
Capt.  Brackett  have  shown  that  the  National  Line, 
for  years  past,  has  been  ased  by  a  gang  of  silk 
and  lace  smugglers,  and  that  several  of  the 
peitj-  officers  of  the  different  ships  have  been  engaged 
m  the  illegal  tr.affic  The  chief  offenders  are  .^jnes 
Na«le,  Purser,  and  James  Welsh,  Storekeeper,  of  the 
Denmark,  who  are  stated  to  have  smuggled  over 
$200,000  worth  of  goods  during  the  past  two  years. 
The  vessel,  on  her  arrival,  will  probablv  bo  placed 
under  bonds  of  $100,000,  while  suits  areinstUuted 
against  her  in  the  courts.  The  report  that  the  au- 
thorities at  Washington  had  countermanded  the  order 
for  her  seizure  created  considerable  surprise  at  the 
Custom-honse,  where  nothinic  ofBcial  has  been  re- 
ceived to  that  effect.  The  weight  of  opinion  seems 
to  be  that  the  Washingtoii  authorities  could  not  in 
any  event  cotmtermand  the  order  of  seizure,  although 
they  might  release  the  vessel  afterward. 

NEW-JERSEY  RAILROAD  TAX. 
The  trial  of  the*^  appeals  of  certain  railroad 
corporations  from  the  valuations  of  the  State  Rail- 
road Tax  Commissioners  was  continued  in  the  Su- 
preme Court  at  Newark  yesterday.  A  number  of 
witnesses  were  examined  as  to  the  justice  of  the  tax- 
able valuation  placed  on  the  Central  Railroad  of  New- 
Jersey  and  branch  lines.  Judge  Depue  at  the  con- 
clusion gave  his  opinion  that  the  valuation  of  the 
Commissioners  was  excessive,  and  fi^sed  tho  valuation 
of  the  Central  main  line  at  $17,320,170  25.  a  re- 
duction of  about  $8.000.WH).  This  inclndes  the 
Newark  and  New-Vork  and  Elizabeth  branches.  The 
other  valuations  are  as  foU'jwB :  New- York  and  Long 
Branch.  -'51.286. 414  84,  a  reduction  of  almut  $550,-

"Washc-gton,  Ang.  10.— Last  June  See- 
tetary  Schurz  appointed  a  commission  to  in- 
vestigate certain  charges  against  Mr.  Galpin, 
Chief  Clerk  of  the  Indian  Bureau,  as  well  as  tie 
general  management  of  the  office  named.  This 
com  mission  still  holds  dally  sessions,  and  has 
already  taken  several  thousand  pages  of  testi- 
mony. Its  meetings  are  secret,  but  it  can 
be  stated  upon  trustworthy  authority  that  the 
greater  part  of  the  eridence  thus  far  heard  is 
simply  unimportant  departmental  scandal  re- 
tailed by  discharged  employes  who  were  re- 
moved for  irregularities.  That  this  should  be 
the  case  is  not  singular,  for  it  will  be  remem- 
bered that  the  commission  cannot  compel  the 
attendance  of  witnesses  or  the  production  of 
papers,  and  consequently  its  labors  are  prac- 
tically confined  to  the  department.  Because  of 
the  star-chamber  secrecy  with  which  its  sessions 
are  conducted  the  commission  has  fallen 
into  disrepiite  here,  and '  although  Xr. 
SctuTZ  has  given  assurances  that  all  the^  ac- 
cused parties  shnll  have  ample  opportunity 
■  of  being  heard,  it  is  still  urged  that  the  testi- 
mony taken  should  be  made  public,  as  it  un- 
doubtedly gives  a  clue  at  least  to  the  plans  and 
practices  by  which  persons  in  the  office  and  out 
of  it  committed  frauds  and  Sl^indled  the  Gov- 
ernment systematically  and  without  fear  of  de- 
tection. As  the  investigation  is  now  being 
conducted,  however,  it  is  feared  that  only 
minor  offenders  will  be  convicted.  The 
limited  powers  possessed  by  the  member.s  of  tbo 
commission  will  prevent  them  from  detecting 
the  very  extensive  swindles  that  have  imdoubt- 
edly  taken  {ilace  in  the  Indian  "Bureau.  Thus 
far  tho  only  practical  result  of  the  investiga- 
tion has  been  the  dismissal  of  Mr.  S.  S.  Hay- 
den,  a  second  class  clerk  who  had  been  in  the 
o^ce  20  years,  and  who  is  now  believed  to  have 
spent  most  of  that  time  in  acting  as  a  paid  spy 
for  Intlian  contractors  and  others  who  were 
interested  in  the  inside  workings  of  the 
department.  It  is  said  that  Commissioner 
Smith  has  assurances  that  no  evidence  has  been 
elicited  which  retiects  upon  him  personallv  or 
uix>n  his  general  management  of  his  office.  The 
ca.^  of  Mr.  Galpin  ha.s  to  some  extent  been  lost 
sight  of  in  the  press  of  other  matter?,  but  it  is 
now  thought  that  his  exoneration  is  doubtful. 
He  and  a  number  of  minor  clerks  will  probably 
be  removed.

r.t-LL  TO  INDUCE  HIM  TO    LEAVE    CANADA 
— COMPOSITION  OP  THE  COMSUSSIOS. 
Spfcial  Iii3paUh  to  the  Sew-Y'vk  Times. 

Washington,  Ang.  10.— At  the  Cabinet 
neeiing  to-*lay  considerable  time  was  occu- 
pied in  the  consideration  of  the  propo.sition 
aiade  by  Secretary  Jlill.^,  of  the  Canadian  Gov- 
ernment., to  send  a  commission  to  treat  with 
Sitting  Bull,  and  try  to  induce  him  to  come  into 
an  agency.  Tho  proposition  was  received  favor- 
ably by  all  the  Cabinet,  but  there  was  a  dispo- 
sition to  allow  no  leniency  in  the  treatment 
of  the  savage,  and  to  instruct  the  commission  to 
accept  a  surrender  on  no  terms  except  absolute 
submission  to  the  authority  of  the  Government, 
«nd  the  giving  up  of  all  arms,  ammunition,  and 
ponies  owned  by  the  tribe.  The  commission 
will  consist  of  an  officer  of  the  Army 
and  an  attach^  of  the  Indian  Bureau, 
and  the  Canadian  Government  will  be 
invited  to  select  a  third  person  to 
accompany  the  Representatives  of  the  United 
States.  They  will  leave  at  once  for  Northern 
Dakota,  and  will  be  escorted  from  the  frontier 
by  a  suiSicicnt  military  force  to  insure  their 
protection.  It  is  the  intention  of  Secretary 
McCrary  to  appoint  an  officer  of  high  rank  in 
the  Anny,  distingui.shed  for  Indian  fighting, 
and  Gen.  Miles  and  Gen.  Crook  are  men- 
tioned. The  President  and  Secretary  of 
War  would  he  glad  to  have  '  Gen. 
Sherman  act  as  one  of  the  commisssion,  partic- 
ularly as  he  is  now  in  the  region  to  be  visited, 
and  he  will  probably  be  telegraphed  to  see  if  he 
will  accept.  As  soon  as  the  coinmis.sion  stans, 
Indian  runners  will  be  sent  out  from  the  north- 
em  agencies  to  find  where  Sitting  Bull  is  lo- 
cated, and  notify  him  of  the  coming  of  the 
Commissioners  and  the  object  of  their  visit. 
Army  officers  here  express  very  little  confidence 
>xx  the  results  of  the  mission.  . 

A  COOL  PROPOSITION. 

i  BILL  FOR  TRANSPORTING  TROOPS  TO  PRO- 
TECT ITS  LINE  PRESENTED  TO  THE  GOV7 
EBNMENT  BY  THE  BALTIMORE  AilD  OHIO 
RAILROAD  COMPANY. 

SpKiai  Di^iatch  to  tM  Xew-Tork  X%mea. 

"Washington,  Aug.  10.— Much  to  the  sur- 
prise of  the  "War  Department  officials,  the  Bal- 
timore and  Ohio  Railroad  Company  has  pre- 
sented a  claim  for  payment  for  transporting 
United  States  troops  from  Washington  to  dif- 
ferent points  along  its  line  to  pro- 
tect the  road  from  the  strikers.  This 
jeems  a  little  like  Impertinence.  Without 
the  aid  of  the  troops  the  railroad 
company  would  have  been  completely  at  the 
mercy  of  the  strikers,  for  the  Militia  were  of  no 
service  whatever,  and  in  some  cases  expressed 
their  sympathy  for  the  rioters  in  an  tinmis- 
iakable  manner.  If  the  military  had  been  sent 
Dver  the  road  to  protect  private  or  public  prop- 
Jity,  the  case  would  have  been  different ;  but 
ao  property  required  protection  except 
that  belonging  to  the  railroad  coin- 
pany.  During  the  war  of  the  rebellion 
many  precedents  were  established  under 
which  this  '  claim  could  be  paid,  but  it 
ts  stated  at  the  War  Department  that  there  was 
tn  understanding  when  the  troops  were  sent 
that  the  railroad  companies  should  famish 
uransportation.  If  this  is  the  case  the  matter 
will  probably  go  to  the  courts  for  settlement. 
No  railroad  but  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  has  yet 
presented  its  bill,  and  at  the  Cabinet  meeting' to- 
day, when  this  matter  was  brought  up,  it  was  de- 
cided that  no  action  should  be  taken  until  all 
the  other  railroads  should  be  heard  from,  when 
It  will  be  submitted  to  the  Attorney-General  for 
an  opinion.

•  Washington,  Aug.  10. — An  important 
docoment  relating  to  McKee's  connection  with 
the  whisky  frauds  at  St.  Louis,  and  which  will 
be  necessary  as  evidence  in  the  suit  for  dam- 
ages against  him,  is  missing  from  the  files  6t 
the  Attorney-General's  ofBce.  It  is  an  afSdavit 
signed  by  the  notorious  Coil  Megrue.  It  having 
been  hinted  that  Megrue  is  responsiblo  for  its 
disappearance,  that  person  indignantly  denies 
the  charge,  and  volunteers  to  furnish  a  copy 
which  he  made  at  the  time  the  affidavit  was 
written. 

St.  Locis,  Mo.,  Aug.  10. — A  suit  was  filed  in 
the  United  States  Circuit  Court  to-day  against 
S.  D.  Thorpe,  Alfred  Bevis,  and  Charles  J. 
Smith,  to  recover  $10,000  damages.  Thorpe 
was  United  States  Storekeeper  in  the  days  of 
the  Whisky  King,  and  Bevis  and  Smith  were  his 
sureties.  The  suit  is,  therefore,  to  recover  the 
bond  for  non-fulfillment  of  his  duty  as  Store- 
keeper. A  number  of  suits  will  be  entered  to- 
morrow against  distillers  and  others.

"Washington,   Aur.    10.— The    Trea^ry 
Department  has  just  made  public   the 
reports  on  the  subject  of  Idrawback  on   th( 
portation  of  refined  sugar  produced  from 
portrd    raw    sugar.      The    Customhouse 
mittee,       composed      of      John      Jay, 
rence      Turnure,     and    J.     H.     Robinson, 
the      conclusion      of       their       report

centage  to  be  retained  on  drawbacks  shouh 
made  in  accordance  with  what  it  may  find 
the     law     upon     the      subject.       Special 
specter    Davis,     in    his    Bo.ston    report,

The  conclusions  reached  bv  the  committer

amount  of  drawback  paid,  tinder  existing  i 
on  refined  sus^axs  and  syrups ''exported  ; 
1875.  must  hare  been  inj  the  asr>frej:ate, 
apart  from  the  percentage]  of  the  leeal  reten 
somewhat     less    than    the     amount     of 
duties       collected       on       the       raw       si 
from    which   the  exported  suirars  and 
were  produced.     Second,  that  the  existing-' 
of  drawback  on  the  reflnejl  soft  sujrars  and 
syrups,  have  in  no  case  rosnlte^l  in  an  exces » 
drawback  dver  the   duty  paid  on  the  im 
su^rs  used.     Third,  thatlof  the  14  refiners 
erating  in   1875  only  one  was  able,  by  ii 
Cuba  centrifugals,  and  other  raw  sugars  of 
ceptional  richness,  to  turii  out  such 
of  hard  sugars  as  to  rondejr  possible  an  e

at  the  extra  session  of  Congress  to  be  conv< 
in  October  a  special   act  he  passed  that  an

of   the   opinion   that   any  attempt  to  fix

Wasbisgtos,  Aug.  10,  1877. 
The  President  to-day  commissioned  James

The  President  has  pardoned  William  Bab- 
btngton,  convicted  hero  on  Nov.  4,  1870.  of 
larceny,  and  sentenced  to  one  year's  imprison- 
ment in  the  Albany  PenitentiaiTr. 

It  is  expected  that  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment will  within  a  few  days  issue  another  call 
for  the  redemption  of  $10.<)OO,000  in  bonds, 
consols  of  1865,  on  account  of  the  syndicate. 

The  foUowing  balances  were  in  the  United 
States  Treasury  today  at  the  closing  hour : 
Currency,  $I2,3.50,7f>3  13  ;  special  fund  for 
the  redemption  of  fractional  currency,  .$8.  IHO,. 
S.^S  ;  special  deposit  of  legal  tenders  tor  tho

060,000  :  coin,  including  $38,14l).:J00  in  coin 
certificates,  $00,4{t3,(>lH  00;  out-standing 
legal  tenders,  $359,00 1.220. 

In  consequence  of  the  discontinuance  by 
the  last  Congress  of  the  Government  Lanil 
Offices  at  Chillicothe,  Ohio  ;  Indianapolis,  Ind.; 
Springfield,  111.,  and  .St.  Louis.  Mo.,  the  Com- 
missioner of  the  General  Land  Office  baa  de- 
cided to  di.spatch  a  Government  agent  on  Tues- 
day next  for  the  purpose  of  .selecting  such 
records  as  are  required  in  bis  department,  the 
balance  to  be  turned  over  to  the  Governors  of 
the  States  interested  therein. 

A  few  days  ago,  friends  of  Senator  Conk- 
ling  in  Washington,  gave  for  oublication  a 
statement  that  the  Senator's  sudden  return  from 
Europe  was  not  for  political  reasons,  but  be- 
cause a  patent  suit  in  which  he  is  interested  as 
attorney  required  his  immediate  attention. 
The  client  In  this  patent  suit  to-day  denies  that 
he  sent  for  Mr.  Conkling;  hence  the  original 
impres.sion  that  complications  in  New-Vork 
politics  brought  him  back  before  his  visit  was 
finished  still  holds  good.

Col.  Cameron,  of  Petersburg,  addressed  the 
convention,  withdrawing  the  name  of  Gen. 
Mahone.  and  urging  the  friends  of  that  gentle- 
man to  give  their  support  to  Hon.  F.  W.  >L 
Holliday.  This  was  received  with  tremendous 
and  prolonged  cheering ;  nearly  the  whole  con- 
vention were  on  their  feet  at  once,  waving  hats 
aiid  screaming  and  yelUng.  Several  minutes 
elapsed  before  order  was  restored,  when  Col. 
Stringfellow,  of  Petersburg,  also  urged  the  sup- 
port of  Holliday  in  eloduent  terms.  Col.  Penn, 
of  Patrick,  a  leading  Daniel  man,  said 
that  despite  all  combinations  he  believed 
that  John  W.  Daniel  was  the  strongest 
man  in  Virginia  for  Governor,  and 
that  his  banner  .should  float  to  the  last. 
John  A.  Wi.se,  of  Richmond,  a  leading  Ma- 
honeite,  disclaimed  making  a  combination,  and 
said:  "If  we  have  chosen  an  armless  hero 
from  the  Valley  of  Virginia,  it  is  because  his  a-s- 
sociations  have  never  made  him  disreputable."' 
R.  A.  Coghiil.  of  Amherst,  made  a  powerful 
speech  in  favor  of  Mr.  Daniel,  calling  upon  his 
friends  and  the  convention  generaUy  to  rally 
around  the  Daniel  standard  to  the  last.  The 
utmost  noise  and  confusion  prevailed  during 
these  bnef  addresses,  and  the  Chair  found  it 
almost  impossible  for  ^ine  time  to  bring  the 
convention  to  order.  A  motion  to  adjourn  was 
put  and.lost,  and.  order  being  partly  restored,  a 
call  of  counties  for  the  seventh  ballot  was  pro- 
ceeded with.  As  the  vote  went  on,  cheer  upon 
cheer  greeted  the  various  changes  of  votes,  as 
they  favored  either  of  Ithe  two  candidates.  At 
its  conclu.sion  tho  excjitement  and  anxiety  to 
learn  the  result  was  at  fever  he.at,  aud  continued 
until  it  was  announced  as  follows :

plause, that  Mr.  Holliday  was  the  duly  chosen 
nominee  of  the  Conser\-ativo  Party  of 'Virginia 
for  the  office  of  Governor.  A  recess  was  then 
taken  till  8  o'clock. 

At  the  evening  session  Gen.  James  A.  Walk- 
er, of  Pulaski,  was  nominated  for  Lieutenant-

THE  MAIXE  REPUBLICAXS. 

PRESIDENT  HATES  NOT  DISTURBED  BT  THE 
ATTITUDE  OP  THE  AUGUSTA  CONVEN- 
TION— MR.  BLAINE'S  COURSE  NOT  UN- 
EXPECTED. 

Spreial  Ditpateh  to  the  Neic-Tork  Time*. 

"Washington,   Aug.   10. — The  President 

does  not  seem  to 'be  disturbed  by  the  attitude  of 
the  Maine  Republicans.  A  prominent  politician 
called  on  him  to-dav,  and  In  tho  somewhat 
desultory  conversation  which  ensued  mention 
was  made  of  the  proceedings  of  the  convention. 
The  President  said  that  he  was  not  in  the  least 
disturbed  by  the  action  of  that  l>ody,  though 
he  would,  of  course,  have  felt  greatly 
pleased  if  the  resolution  presented  indorsing 
him  and  his  policy  had  been  adopted.  As  it 
was,  the  introductioa-of  the  resolution  and  the 
speeches  made  in  favor  of  it  showed  what  he 
already  felt  certain  of — that  he  was  not  without 
strong  support  among  the  Republicans  in  the 
Pine-tree  State.  The  gentleman  says  that  from 
the  conversation  he  is  of  the  opinion  that  the 
President  is  confident  that  it  will  not  be  long 
before  oven  Maine  will  be  ready  to  indorse  him. 
Referring  to  Senator  Blaine's  speech,  he  said 
he  was  not  at  all  surprised  by  that  gen- 
tleman's utterances,  as  ho  had  taken 
exactly  the  same  grounds  that  might  have  been 
expected  from  the  sentiments  expressed  in  his 
Woodstock  speech.  The  President  also  said  that 
the  proceedings  of  conventions  like  that  held 
yesterday  evidenced  more  the  individual  in- 
fluence of  the  prominent  members  of  it  than 
the  general  feeling  of  the  whole  body.  There 
was  a  little  gossip  at  the  Cabinet  meeting  about 
the  matter,  but  for  some  reason  the  members 
were  not  so  much  concerned  as  they  were  over 
the  late  Iowa  convention. 


THE  NEW  SOUTHERN  POLICY. 

IT  IS  DENOL-NCED    BY  A  REPUBLICAN    MEET- 
.      INO  AT  COLUMBUS — THE  SECOND  RESOLU- 
TION IN  THE.  OHIO  PLATFORM  DECLARED 
TO  BE  A  FALSEHOOD  AND  A  LIBEL  UPON 
THE  REPUBLICANS  OF  THE  STATE. 

Columbus,  Ohio,  Ang.  10. — ^A  meeting  of 
anti-Administration  Republicans,  held  In  this 
city  last  night,  adopted  resolutions  bitterly  de- 
nouncing President  Hayes  for  his  Southern 
policy,  and  declaring  that  the  second  resolution 
in  the  platform  adopted  by  the  Bepublicnn  State 
Convention  at  Cleveland  Is  Inconsistent  with  its 
professed  declaration  of  fidelity  to  the  principles 
of  the  Republican  Party  ;  that  it  is  a  nlsehood, 
adopted  solely  for  pMty  expediency — a  libel 
npon  the  Republicans  of  Ohio,  and  imworthy  of 
the  grand  record  of  Ihe  party.  The  meeting 
also  adosted  a  resolution  invltiiur  oonespond- 


enee  bam  Republicans  throughout  the  Stete, 
and  advice  as  to  the  course  to  be  pursued  dur- 
ing the  present  campaign.  An  Executive  Com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  receive  correspondence. 

CABINET  MEMBERS  AND  THE  STUMP.

BUSINESS  PERMISSIBLE,  SUCH  AS  MB. 
SHERMAN  ON  FINANCE  AND  MB.  SCHURZ 
ON  INDIANS, 

Special  DtBpateh  to  tJu  Xew-Tork  Ttmea. 

Washington,  Aug.  10. — This  afternoon, 
during  a  conversation  had  with  Secretary 
Schurz,  he  said  that  he  would  not,  and  he 
thought  no  othermember  of  the  Cedjinct  would, 
take  any  active  part  in  the  Ohio  or  any  other 
of  the  political  campaigns  now  pending 
in  the  different  States.  In  reply  to 
the  question  how  alMut  Secretarj'  Sher- 
man, Mr.  Sciiurz  said :  "  Oh,  he  only  intends 
to  speak  on  financial  matters.  1  myself  would 
like  to  speak  on  otir  Indian  policy.  There  can 
be  no  objection  to  speeches  on  Government 
business.  What  I  moan  is  that  no  member  of 
the  Cabinet  will  take  an  active  part  in  purely 
political  discussion."  It  thus  appears  that  the 
ci-^-il  service  order  is  to  extend  to  all  branches  of 
the  public  service,  and  that  no  discrimination  is 
to  be  made  even  in  favor  of  those  highest  In 
authority.

BATE JUDGE  TO  SETTLE  JUDGE  CHIS- 
OLM'S  ESTATE. 

Special  DiapaIcK  to  the  New-  York  Timet. 
Washington,  Aug.  10. — A  letter  was  re- 
ceived here  to-day  from  Jlrs.  Chisolm,  the  wido"w 
of  Judge  Chisolm  who  was  so  foully  murdered 
by  the  White  League  of  Mississippi.  In  it  she 
tells  with  touching  simplicity  of  her  recent 
treatment  by  the  Democratic  outlaws  who  sur- 
round her,  and  states  that  the  Probate  Court  of 
Kemper  County  has  refused  to  .settle  up  her  bus-, 
band's  estate.  She  is  consequently  prevented, 
for  the  present  at  least,  from  leaving  the  scene 
of  the  butchery  of  her  family.  The  court  does 
not  attempt  to  justify  its  unusual  action,  but 
simply  refuses  to  grant  Mrs.  Chisolm's  request 
for  a  settlement. 

MR.  SCHUR7PS  CAMPAIGN  EXPENSES. 

STATEMENT  OP  EX-GOV.  M'CORMICK  AS  TO 
the  campaign  OP  1876. 
Washington,  Aug.  10. — The  Daily  Na- 
tion of  to-morrow  will  contain  the  following 
statement:  "A  reporter  of  the  Daily  Nation 
called  upon  Gov.  McGormiek  at  the  Treasurj- 
Department  yesterday  to  inquire  in  reference  to 
the  relations  of  Mr.  Schurz  to  the  Natiohal  Re- 
publican Committee  in  the  late  Presidential 
campaign.  It  is  well  known  that  Mr. 
Schurz's  appointments  at  the  East  were  made 
by  Mr.  McCormick,  and  that  in  his  capacity  at 
that  time  of  Secretary  of  the  committee  no  one 
could  have  had  a  better  knowledge  of  the  terms 
iipon  which  3lr.  Schurz  gave  his  .services  to 
the  party.  Mr.  McCormick  said  that  he  had 
no  knowledge  of  the  course  of  Mr. 
Schurz  in  previous  campaigns,  but  that  in 
the  campaign  of  1876  that  gentleman  neither 
aslied  nor  received  from  the  National  Republi- 
can Committee  one  dolhy  for  his  services.  On 
several  occasions  when  at  the  rooms  of  the  com- 
mittee in  New-York,  Mr.  McCormick  .spoke  to 
him  about  the  matter  of  his  personal  expenses 
for  traveling,  hotel  bills,  &c.,  and  said  the  com- 
mittee would  promptly  pay  them.  Mr.  Sch  urz 
amswered  that  he  preferred  to  bear  his  own  ex- 
penses, aud  he  did  bear  them  throughout  the 
campaign  so  far  as  Mr.  McCormick  is  informed.''

THE  PHILADELPHIA   DEMAGOGUES. 


SHARP  LESSON  OF  A    CORONER'S     JURY     DIS- 
REGARDED^SO-CALLED     WORKING      MEN 
TRTINO  TO  ORO.\NIZE  A  WORKING    MEN'S 
PARTY — THE  SCHEME  CONCOCTED  IN  THE 
INTEREST  OP  THE  DEMOCRATS. 
From  Our  Otm  (XrreMporutent. 
Philadelphia.  Friday.  Au^.  10,  1877. 
The  Coroner's  jury  in  the  case  of  William 
McBride  returned  a  venlict  to-day  which  is  so 
directly  the  opposite  in  principle  to  that  of  the 
jury  in  Scranton  that  it  is  worthy  of  note,  and 
will,  no  doubt,  serve  as  a  warning  to  people  who 
follow  crowds  of  rioters  in  this  city.     The  ver- 
dict was  as  follows : 

"  That  said  William  McBrlde  came  to  bis  de.ith 
July  2G,  1H77.  at  Howard  .and  Berks  streets,  from 
violence,  a  gun-shot  wound  in  the  brain,  at  the  hands 
of  ^onie  person  unkuowu  to  the  jury.  Vour  jur>' 
farther  find  from  the  testimony  that  deceased  was 
present  as  one  of  an  assembloee  which  hnd  l>een  pro- 
hibited by  the  Mayor  of  the  city  at  a  time  when  the 
congregation  of  large  bodies  of  men  was  deemed  cal. 
ciliated  to  disturb  public  peace  and  create  riot,  dis- 
order, and  destruction  of  public  audprivate  pn»pcrty. 
Although  the  pcreon  who  inflicted  the  wound  which 
caused  the  death  of  William  McBride  is  unknown  to 
this  jury,  it  18  proper  to  add  that  while  the  deceased 
was  present  in  common  with  many  others  in  dis- 
obedience, the  responsibility  rests  entirely  witli 
those  as-sembled.  Tne  Police  oflicere  appeared  as  con- 
servators of  peace,  and  ac  e<l  under  the  orders  of  his 
H«mor  William  S.  Stoldey.  the  Mayor,  who,  by  his 
prompt  and  determined  action  in  suppressing  all 
outbreaks  at  this  x>oint  as  well  ns  others  during  the 
troubles,  deserves  the  hearty  commendation  aud 
thanks  of  all  peace  and  onier  loving  citizens,  as  lie 
has  saved  Philadelphia  from  the  shame  aud  dis;;ruco 
of  arson,  robbery,  riot,  and  murder. " 

But  even  with  this  warning  before  them,  a 
number  of  demagogues  are  at  work  hero  or- 
ganizing the  National  Working  Men's  Party, 
and  endeavoring  to  foment  trouble.  A  close 
examination  of  the  records  of  the  men  who  are 
engaged  in  this  work  shows  that  they -are  Dem- 
ocrats and  renegade  Republicau.s,  and  it^is  be- 
lieved, therefore,  that  their  labors  now  are  in 
the  interest  of  the  DemwTatlc  Party  in  this 
State.  Not  satisfied  with  the  resnlt  of  the  late 
strike,  theW-men  have  called  a  mass  cimvention 
to  meet  here  to-morrow.  The  proceedings  anil 
the  place  of  meeting  have  been  kept  secret..  It 
is  designed  that  all  branches  of  the  working 
men  shall  be  represented,  and  it  is  possible 
another  strike  may  be^planned  here.

"  United  States  Marshal  Parnell  was  shot  twice 
by  Frank  Britton  and  probably  fatally  wounded. 
The  accounts  of  the  affrav  are  conflicting.  It  is 
known  that  the  two  gentlemen 'belong  to  oppos- 
ing factions  in  the  Republican  Party,  and  have 
had  differences  as  to  the  distribution  of  the 
Federal  patronage  in  this  State. 

Washington,  Aug.  10. — The  Attorney-Gen- 
eral to-day.  received  the  foUowiii"  telegram  in

No  blame  is  attached  to  PumelL  The  excitement  is 
great,  but  subsiding.

Augusta,  Ga.,  Aug.  10.— Rev.  W.  H.  Clark, 
Rector  of  St  Paul's  Episcopal  Church  in  this 
city,  died  suddenly  this  morning  of  paralysis

just  died.  Sir.  Clark  was  a  native  of  Cheshire, 
Conn.,  and  came  to  Augusta  in  1861.

Chicago,  Ang.  10. — A  number  of  lead-

test  the  new  scheme  for  solving  tiie  labor  trou- 
bles. Tliey  propoae  to  oontdbnte  sooh  foms  as 
they  can  ailord,  and  with  It  hire  laboring  men 
to  work  on  the  public  tlioitnicbfares.    Snoosh 


money  has  been  subseilbed  to  keep  lOO  men 
at  work  one  week,  and  contributionB  are  re- 
ceived daily  to  swell  the  number.  The  city  not 
being  financially  able  to  give  employment  to  a 
large  proportion  of  the  laboring  classes,  and 
the  public  worka  being  thereby  virtually 
stopjwd.  this  new  scheme,  it  is  tfaonght,  will 
have  a  double  advantage,  and  at  the  same  time 
illustrate  the  earnestness  of  tho  parties  who  are 
generally  loud  in  their  demands  for  a  dispensa- 
tion of  charities.

SIVE COURSE  OF  THE  GOVERNMENT. 
London,  Aug.-  10. — The  electoral  cam- 
paign on  the  part  of  the  Frenck  Government 
daily  becomes  more  active  and  oppressive. 
Yesterday's  news  includes  the  iSUowing  items  : 
Hawkers  of  newspapers  at  Compiegne  were  re- 
cently requiretl  to  furnish  lists  of  ,  the  newspa- 
pers they  served  to  customers  in  the  arrondise- 
ment.  The  officials  then  .suppressed  the  delivery  of 
the  Sihie,  Nineteenth  Cfnturi/,  /VcfW,  Bfptib- 
lique  Franxaix,  National,  Bien  Pabtie,  Petit  Re- 
piiblique  Fransaine,  aud  Petit  .fonrnal,  all  Re- 
publican journals.  The  Union  Liberale,  of  Ver- 
sailles, was  sentenced  to  3,000  francs  fine  and  the 
manager  imprisoned  three  months  for  insulting 
President  MacMahon.  The  Nineteenth  Century 
and  Petit  J*armcn wdrepro-secutedforpublishing 
a  colored  man  of  Franco,  showing  the  po- 
litical complexion  of  the  departments,  the 
offen.<!e  declared  against  them  being  tho  unau- 
thorized publication  of  a  drawing.  The  court 
convicted  them,  but  passed  nominal  .sentences 
of  50  francs  each.  Two  clubs  at  Aries  have 
been  closed,  charged  with  being  political,-as.sera.-; 
blages.  The  Vifkhe,  a  newspaper  at  Toulouse, 
has  been  fined  100  francs  for  refusing  to  print 
a  speech  of  President  MacMahon.  Tfte  Minis- 
ter of  Agriculture  has  a.sked  the  Prefects  in  a 
circular-letter  to  remind  the  employes  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture  that  it  is  their  dntj' 
not  to  attempt  to  thwart  the  action 
of  the  Cabinet;  or  place  at  the  service  of  hos- 
tile partie-s  the  influence  they  derive  from  their 
offices.  The  Paris  Police  have  forbidden  the 
street  sale  of  photographs  of  M.  Thiers.  The 
papers  announce  that  80,000  copies  of  eques- 
trian portraits  of  President  MacSIalion  are  to  be 
distributed  in  tho  provinces.  The  offense  of 
.>:peaking  instiltingly  of  I'resident  MacMahon  in 
the  streets  is  now  becoming  a  subject 
of  daily  action  before  the  courts. 
M.  Lefe\Te  Durufle,  who  may  bo  said  to 
have  originate<l  this  offense,  was  condemned 
to  two  months'  imprisonment,  but  succeeded  on 
appeal  in  reducing  the  term  to  1  ,">  days.  He  is 
a  son  of  the  former  Bonapartist  Senator.  The 
Court  of  Bordeaux  ha.-*  reversed  the  decision  of 
an  inferior  tribunal,  and  fined  the  bookseller 
who  sold  newspapers  with  special  authorization. 
Ou  the  other  band,  the  tribunals  of  Nevers  and 
Carcassoue  have  declared  themselves  competent 
to  try  actions  by  newspapers  against  Prefects 
for  jireventing  the  street  sale  thereof.

court  at  that  plac*  on  Wednesday  and  Thurs- 
day, with  25  armed  men,  the  Sheriff  and 
deputies  being  entirely  inefficient.  Darnell  re- 
cently gave  himself  up,  but  refused  to  go  to 
jaiL  and  was  instewl  placed  in  the  custody  of 
one  of  his  friends.  It  having  been  shown  that 
the  liond  w^s  insufficient,  the  fact  was  an- 
nounced in  court,  and  Darnell  was  ordered  to  j.oil. 
The  Sheriff  refused  to  act.  and  Dam'ell.  with  the 
armed  mob.  walked  out  of  the  court-room,  de- 
nouncing the  court  and  defying  the  authori- 
ties. Upon  the  Sheriff  refusing  to  obey  au

just  received  here  from  Camp  Sherman,  Mon- 
tana, dated  Aug.  9,  .states  that  Gen.  Howard's 
command  marched  22  nriles  yestenlay,  and  is 
now  distant  from  Missoula  24  miles.  A  courier 
has  just  come  in  who  says  Gen.  Sherman  was 
expected  to  arrive  in  Missoula  last  night.  No 
lurther  intelligence  has  been  received  from 
Gen.  Gibbon  or  the  Indians.  The  trail  from 
this  place  through  the  Bitter  Root  Valley  is 
good  for  about  60  miles.  Gen.  Howard's  com- 
mand moves  at  once,  following  Gen.  Gibbon. 
One  or  two  hostiles  gave  themselves  up  at  Mis- 
soula. The  general  impression  prevails,  from 
all  that  can  be  learned,  that  Joseph,  with  a 
portion  of  his  band  of  hostiles,  has  gone  to  the 
heatl  of  the  Bitter  Root  Valley  with  the'  inten- 
tion of  working  bis  way  back  to  the  Littlo

LOKDOK,    Aug.     11. — The    IhiUy    Xfu-s"   COTTft 

spondent.  telegraphing  from  Hiela  on  Thurs- 
day, says  his  estimate  of  tho  scriouS'  ef- 
fect Of  the  Russian  defeat  at  Plerna, 
formed  on .  the  battlefield,  is  fully  homo 
out  by  tho  Russian  appreciation  -  of  it. 
The  Russians  Etand  waiting  for  necessnry 
reinforcements,  and  are  thankful  that  ihey  are 
not  assailed  in  their  defensive  posi- 
tions. The  defeat  has  altered  the  whole  plan 
of  the  campaign  for  this  year.  The 
Russians  have  virtuallv  abandoned  tho 
expectation  of  pressing  the  war  successfully 
across  the  Balkans.  It  will  .suffice  them  if 
during  the  three  months  still  available  for 
liehting,  they  can  sweep  Bulgaria  north 
of  the  Balkans  clear  of  Turkish  ar- 
mite.  The  orders  are  to  withdraw  from  all 
the  trans-Balkan  positions.  This  is  from  no 
direct  pressure  of  the  Turks  boyond  the  Bal- 
kans, but  because  nf  the  risk  attending 
unsupported  advances.  On  tliis  side  of  the, 
Balkans  the  paralysis  caused  Ijv  tJi«  Plevna 
reverse  still  endures.  One  hundred  tliousan-I 
moru  men  are  wanted  and  are  forthcoming,  but 
will  have  to  l>e  -  wait«?d  for.  The  first 
brigade  of  reinforcements  is  expected  to 
cross  the  D.inube  in  a  day  or  two.  It 
is  hoped  after  tliat  a  brigade  will  crf»s» 
daily.'  The^  offensive  will  doubtless  bo 
recommenced  oefore  all  the  nnnforcer.ients  an* 
to  haud.  but  a  large  proportion  of  them  are  in- 
dispensable. Osman  Pasha  must  b<'  struck  d**- 
cisively;  at  present  he  can  only  lie  watched. 
The  gaps  through  which  the  right  flank  of  tho 
Russian  communications  were  threatened  aro 
stopped  bv  Schackosky's  and  Knidener's  po<i- 
lions  confronting  Ple^Tia  and  DragomiT<)trs 
division  between  Timova  and  Loftcha.  This 
force  is  probably  sufficient  fi>r  protection, 
but  utterly  inadequate  for  a  renewal  of 
the  offensive.  It  is  estimat<*«l  now  that 
from  00.000:  to  70.0<H»  Turks  are  on  the 
Looftcha  and  Plevna  line,  and  th»*y  will  tak*

through.  The  Turks  are  prolmbly  of  about  tho 
same  strengtli.  but  if  Meheraet  AH  chooses 
to  take  the  otTensive  he  may  concentrate  at 
Rustchuk.  Rasgrad,  and  *  (smaii-Haxar.  Tho 
Russians  must  be  ready  to  face  him  everv-

strictly  on  the  defensive.  The  River 
Low        still  virtually        constitutes         thfl 

line  of  the  Rustchuk  Army,  but  the  head- 
quarters of  the  Twelfth*  C<irps  have  been 
moved  beyond  it  to  Kadikoi.  The  head- 
quarters of  the  Czarewitch.  with  the  Thirteenth 
Corps  has  advanced  to  Ka:yiljeva,  thus  con- 
froiiting  Rasgrad,  while  between  Osman-P-axar 
and  Tinv>va  the  First  Di\Tsiun  stand.s  with  it5 
head-quarters  in  Kosarevac. 

Cren.  Zimmermann  is  stalemated.  He  is 
guarding  the  Dobrudscha.  which  is  nut  threat- 
ened, and  he  cannot  push  forward  with  hi* 
30.000  incti.  lest  his  enemies  frotn  Vftm:i 
and  Shumla  should  converg**  ujton  him.  Th*; 
Russians  are  Iwginning  to  snilTerin  health,  some 
corps  from  hard  marching,  tho  heat,  and  irre- 
gular rations.  The  principal  cjiuse.  Inwcver, 
is  neglect  of  sanitary  precautions  resuiring  in  a 
geupral  tainting  of  the  air.  At  Biela  the  air  is 
thick  and  heavv  with  emanations  from  flith  and 
rotting  offal.  <jen.  Ignati»^ff  is  still  routined  to 
his  room  with  gastric  fever.  Prince  Galatzin  is 
also  abed  with  the  same  com[il»int.  Four  out 
of  five  Adjutants-General  in  attendance  on  tbo 
Czar' are  sick.  Nearly  everybcnly  is  more  or 
less  sick  or  stjueamish. 

The  same  corre^ondent  telegraphs  as  follows 
from  Sistova  on  Friday  :  "  It  h:is  been  at  last 
definitely  resolved  to  bridg*'  the  Danube  at 
IMrgos  also.  The  first  brigade  of  reinforce- 
ments, which  is  a  splendid  rifle  brigade  of  four 
battalions,  now  at  bimniizo.  will  croasao-morrow 
en  route  to  the  Ple^^la  front."' 

The  Tiitieii'  Bucharest  cftrrespon^.ent  states 
that  Lieut.  Green,  of  the  Cnite<l  Spates  Nayy, 
who  went  to  Biula  as  an  attacb^  to  the  Russian- 
Army,  returned  there  struck  downfcy  fever.. 

The  Daily  News'  correspondent  at  Niko^olis 
sends  the  following  :  '*  The  ii  rand;  Duke  Nich- 
olas displays  remarkable  energy  in 
moving  rapidly  from  place*  to  place, 
inspiring  confidence  in  the  troops 
everywhere.  Although  ireu.  Kmtiener' 
Is  nominally  the  commander  of  th(varmy  lK!fnrf\ 
Plevna,  the  Grand  Duke  himself  will  take  tU-e 
sxipreme  direction  in  the  forthcomSig  Httack.** 

The  NtiU's'  correspondent  with  the  Dobrudscha 
Army  telegraphs  that  malar'al  fever  i^t 
doing  its  work.  Hundreds  of  sick  arrive  at 
Tchernavoda  daily,  a  majorfty  from  the 
neighl>orhood  of  i'lejidjie.  when*  a  .steaming 
swamp  poisons  water  and  air  aliivC.  Dysentery- 
also  counts  many  victims.  In  proportion  as  tho  I 
season  ad\-ances  sickness  increases. 

The  Vienna  correspondent  of  the  Nevtt  sayr 
a  ^^t.  Petersburg  letter  in  the  official  WtftiVrv 
Abendpo^t  states  that  4S.O(M)  fresh  troo]jN| 
are  already  on  the  way  by  railroad 
to  the  seat  *  of  war.  Tha  Gtiards  wfU 
follow  in  10  days.  These  include  8.CKN> 
cavalry  and  *»0.000  infantry.  Two  huTidred 
and  fif.y  cannon  will  also  be  sent.  Of  the X<and- 
wehr  only  picked  regiments  will  go  to  Bul- 
garia. 

An  occasional  correspondent  -of  th&  Titles  at 
Vienna  says  evervthing  tends  to  show  that 
^lehemet  Ali  and  Suleiman  Pashas  are  making 
greateffortBtoeffectaiunctionbySlevno  Pass,su 
as  to  dislodge  the  Russians  from  ^  Timova. 
If  they  succeed  in  effecUng  a  ^junction, 
we  may  expect«  shortly  to  hear  of  a  great 
battle  which  will  decide  this  year's  campaign. 

The  Times  Bucharest  special  states '  that  iht» 
Cza.t  remains  at  Biela  Though  the  Russian 
Arm.T  is  being  strengthened  rapidly,  there  is  lit- 
tle chance  of  any  serious  action  for  more  than  a 
week.  The  Turks,  instead  of  acting  with, 
enei^y  and  decision,  are  building  nK>re  defen- 
sive works,  and,  strangest  of  all.  the  Russian.s 
have  finally  decided  to  stop  short  in. 
their  career  without  operating  beyond  the 
Balkans  this  year.  They  will  probabi  v 
succeed  in  clearing  this  side  of  the  mountains 
in  one  campaign,  but  meanwhile  there  mumt  be  . 
much  sickness.  Prince  Charles  has  called  ouS- 
12,000  Roumanian  militia.

several  days  past  to  asdst  in  inside  clerical  vori^ 
have  been  nnable  to  investigate  tbe  Bomaroaa  ^^- 
cations  assigned  to  them.  Another  reason  for  the 
delay  on  the  part  of  the  CommiaalonezB  in  aieting 
upon  applications  is  the  fallare  of  Justice  Smith  to 
ren(ier  his  decision  in  the  case  against  the  Ikoaxd 
relative  to  ale  and  beer  licoases.  It  was  confidently 
ejected  that  the  deeixfon  would  hare  been  rendered 
yesterday,  bat  the  magistrate,  for  some  unexplained 
reason,  postponed  the  performance  of  that  dxxty  until 
to-day.  Jnstieo  Smith,  when  questioned  hj  the 
writer  concerning  the  purport  of  the  forthcoming  de- 
cision, expressed  himself  as  not  being  at  liberty  to 
&ay  anything  beyond  the  fact  that  it  Is  his  intention 
to  merely  decide  as  to  what  disposition  shall  be  toade 
of  the  papers  in  the  case,  wlthont  giving  a  written 
opinion.  Respecting  the  fatoro  action  of  the  I*olioe 
regarding  delinquents,  matters  yestexday  assumed  an 
aspect  highly  favorable  to  the  dealers — ^that  is,  ipro- 
vidins  the  ofBccre  in  command  of  the  force  will  obey 
the  instructions  issned.  In  compliance  with  an  order 
from  the  Commissioners,  Superintendent  "Walling 
yesterttay  morning  siimmoned  the  Captains  and  Ser- 
geants in  command  of  the  various  precincts  to  the 
Central  Office,  where  he  addressed  them  In  the'  fol- 
lo%ving  terms : 

Gkxtleites:  I  have  seTit  for  yon  for  the  purpose 
of  sivinc  you  ray  ideas  concerning  the  manner  in 
which  we  oucht  to  enforce  the  Excise  laws.  A  sood 
.inniiy  Captains  have  been  out  of  town,  and  I  believe 
that  an  exehiuiRO  of  ideas  will  do  no  harm.  In  the 
first  instaure.  there  are  many  men  who  sell  liquors 
without  a  license,  who  ncverhad  a  license,  nor  dothey 
ever  intend  to  obtain  one.  These  are  the  people  who 
oturht  to  h«  looked  after  pretty  sharp.  But  use  every 
effort  to  iret  the  meu  who  nwn  the  places,  andnotthe 
bartenders-  The  harkeeper  works  one  week  in  this 
plsL-o  and  another  in  that,  and,  therefore,  he  ought 
not  to  Ue  arrested  if  the  proprietor  can  be  reached. 
The  wan  who  runs  a  place  without  a  license  year 
after  year,  and  never  makes  an  application,  ought  to 
.1  e  arrested  whenever  he  is  found  violating  the 
law ;  but,  centlemen.  do  not  wait  purnoaely  imtll 
after  cor.rt  hours.  Arrests  at  night  Iook  too  much 
like  nersecution.  and.  thouj^h  miLny  of  these  men 
keep  di^roputalile  places,  tliey  will  try  to  create  pub- 
lic sympathy,  and  nv  arresting  respectable  men  after 
court  honrs  you  will  help  these  fellows  tn  this  ob- 
jf  ct.  and  create  sympathy  for  people  who  ought  not 
to  have  either  license  or  sympathy.  With  referjenee 
to  the  '■  re*'eint  "  question  I  wish  to  say  a  word  or 
two.  While  X  have  my  own  views  in  reference  to 
them,  still  we  ought  to  place  every  magistrate  on 
record,  and  they,  not  we.  should  decide.  AVhen 
a  mnn  who  holds  »  receipt  sells  liquor,  obtain  your 
evidence,  make  a  sworn  statemeut  before  a  magis- 
trato  and  let  him  i-^jnie  a  warrant.  But  don't  wait 
till  nijrht  to  mske  the  arrest.  If  I  was  a  Captaan.  I 
should  not  wait  uutil  ni^ht  and  lock  a  man  up -in  a 
-  cell  this  hot  went'ier.  All  we  are  called  upon  to  do 
in  to  act  fairly  and  aquarely  between  the  law  and  the 
pei^ple.  Ma!ce  a  test  case.  *  There  is  no  need  of  raids, 
no  Deces.sity  for  filling  your  station  bd^^s 
nicht  after  nictht  with  tnese  people.  We 
hav*  to  act  "without  fear  or  faror,  and 
let  the  conrts  decide.  AlKive  alt  gentlemen,  make 
no  spasmodic  efforts,  but  act  .steadily  and  intelligent- 
ly. Of  course,  mv  remarks  with  reference  to  court 
hours  lio  not  apply  to  vioIat*»ra  after  1  A.  M.  Liquor- 
dealers  canjht  \-iolaitn;;  this  provision  of  the;law 
must  be  sumraarilyarrested.  Impress  on  your  imea 
tliHt  they  magt  not  act  in  a  spirit  of  persecution, 
•■'•ettins  squcre"  on  a  man  ny  arreating  him  at 
niirht  muKt  not  l»e  tolerated.  I  do  not  want  Miy  Cap- 
tiiiii  or  officer  to  persecute  liquor-dealers,  but  ti^  act 
fairly  and  squarely.  Then  we  will  avoid  complaints 
al'out  pervtr«;ution  and  still  do  our  duty  as  we  shpold 
d'j  it.

Tbxrj^  and  Gregory  were  nicely  I  »wled  out 
by  Tucker,  when  O'SuUivan  canu  ip.  and 
made  a  fine  stand  for  25  r  ms.  This 
and  a  nice  catch  by  McDougall  were  the  <  nly  notice-

the  Manhattans  Beott  and  Love  were  hoti  l  bowled  by

FOTJ.TO  BUGS  AS  PETS. 
A  correspondent  of  the  London  AQHmdt^raZ 
TonmaX  states  that  some  Colorado  beetles  have  been 
given  by  the  writer  to  a  friend  near  Manchester, 
srho  keeps  them  in  his  frarden,  where  they  "devour 
rtrawberries  and  vegetable  marrows  with  great ;  rel- 
Uh."  The  kind  donor  of  the  heetle  has,  he  ttys, 
'■  cautioned  his  friend  not  to  let  them  escape  firom

that  our  agricultural  prospects  depend  entirely  on 
tiio  vigilance  of  this  gentleman  near  Mancheater, 
who:  m  a  moment  of  weariness  or  forgetfulness  may 
let  lonse  ou  Kncland  an  agent  of  destruc- 
l:on|  ns-  formidahTe  as  an  Invading  host. 
Her  Majesty's  Privy  Council  have  therefore 
called  the  attention  of  Hir  Joseph  Heron, 
the  Town  ^^erk  of  Manchester,  to  this  alarming 
ktatemenr.  and  desired  that,  "  if  It  can  be  ascertiinea 
t'nat  the  alleged  entomological  experiments  are  really 
being  ninde  near  Manchester,  some  steps  should  be 
taken  to  arrest  their  progress,  and  so  prevent!  the 
danjfers  to  be  anticipated  if  this  destructive  insect 
tliould  set  a  for)tin2.  Sir  Joseph  Heron  aceordihgly, 
b  a  letter  to  the  Manchester  papers,   reoueats '  any 

fierson  i>os.sesaing  information  respecting  the  beetles 
o  communicate  it  at  once  to  him.  or  the  Chief  Con- 
jtable  of  the  city.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  owner 
Df  the  beetles,  if  discovered,  will  consent  to  have 
^cm  destroyed ;  bat,  unfortunately,  there  is  noi  aet 
>f  Parliament  forbidding  a  person  to  keep  any  kind 
<  iuaect  for  which  he  may  have  a  fancy.  [

BONDS. 


'otton  Daily  Adverti  ter  .- 
of  Tuesday  last  c<  ntains  an 
Frandsco  Sutletin  which  in  a 
u]»on  the  arrangemc  it  made  by 
Secretary  Sberjinaii  for  the  sale  of  the  1  per  cent, 
bonda.  'and  a  pen<ml  criticism  upon  the  policy  pur- 
sued by  the  Government  for  seven  years,  md  by  five 
Secretaries  of  the  Treasury  in  the  negotli  tion  of  the 
5,  41*^  and  4  percent,  bonds  of  the  United  States.  As 
I  have  no  knowledgeof  the  particular  fact  ;  which  are 
alleged  in  connection  with  recent  neg  itiatlons,  I 
make  no  remark  up  >n  them ;  but  I  ventmt  to  observe 
tiiat  when  a  negotu^tion  touching  the  pt  blic  securi- 
ties lias  been  accomplished,  men  often  a  ppear  who 
claim  to  liave  b«*en  ready  or  even  mxious  to 
serve  the  Govemroent  upon  more  favoi  ilile  terms. 
I  observe  further  that  the  bankers  and  a  pitallsts  ot 
San  Francisco  have' had  official  knowledf  a  since  the 
15th  of  July.  1870.  that  the  Iwnds  of  he  United 
States  were  to  be  iisned.  and  if  at  any  tin  e  they  had 
offered  to  pay  !  thf  Secretary  par  lean  ^ 
per  cent.  comrnij?ii<>n  for  ¥101>,00<),0[M),  or  for 
f  2o.(K>0.lK)0  of  the  4  per  Cent,  bonds,  u  idoubtedly 
the  off  er  would  have  been  accepted.  Thee  agagemeut 
which  Secretary  Shennan  made  with  tht  syndicate 
was  not  made  suddenly  nor  in  a  comer.  I  venture 
the  assertion    tlint  |  he  would    have  entei  toined  the 

groposition  of  the  ^^an  Francisco  bankers  i  nd  capital- 
its,  which  the  liulUtin  now  says  they  wer  prepared 
to  make,  if  it  had  been  made  at  any  timi  after  the 
4th  of  March  last  p.iid  pre^'ious  to  the  co:  npletion  of 
the  contract  with  the  eyndicate. 

That  no  such  proposition  was  made  is  conclusive 
proof  that  the  parties  referred  to  were  no  prepared 
to  make  It,  and  that  the  statements  now}  pat  forth 
are  designed  to  throw  obloquy  upon  the  transaction, 
and  to  produce  the  Impressipn  that  the  Gbvemment 
has  been  wronged.   ,  I 

Whenever  a  Government  awards  a  contract,  the  un- 
successful parties  complain,  and  the  tentK-ncy  is  to 
cliai^e  wrongdoing  upon  the  officers  intiu&ted  with 
the  business.  | 

In  1870  and  1871  the  5  per  cent,  bends  were 
offered  to  the  public  through  the  officers  of  the  Treas- 
ury, and  without  the  inter\'ention  of  a|  syndicate. 
There  was  an  offer  of  what  is  now  termed|a  popular 
loan.  Special  and  persistent  efiTorts  wefle  made  to 
secure  subscriptions.  In  the  end,  and  ajfter  every 
means  to  advance  the  undertaking  had  beoin  exhaust- 
ed, the  subscriptions  amounted  to  abont|  $0.5,000,- 
00C»,  and  of  this  sum  more  than  $50,000,000  were 
taken  by  the  national  banks.  Further  than  this  the 
department  was  unal^e  to  proceed.  and,|after  con- 
siderable delay,  an  arrangement  was  miMe  with  a 
bodv  of  bankers  for  what  remained  of  thf  first  offer 
of  ^200,000,000  of  5  per  cent,  bonds.  [This  plan 
was  successful,  and  from  that  time  forward  there 
has  been  no  essential  change  in  the  modejof  mauag- 
Inc  the  btisiness.  Since  then  there  have  been  two 
A&ninlstrations  and  four  Secretaries  of  the  Treasury, 
and  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  some  one  of  these 
Secretaries  wopJd  Ixave  resort^ ,  to  a  popular  sub- 
scription if  there  were  any  hopes  of  suqcess.  It  is 
also  reasonable  to  suppose  that  some  one  of  these 
Secretaries  woald  have  discarded  the  pdUcy  of  em- 
ploying a  Byndicate  if  there  were  other  moans  at  com- 
mand bv  which  the  loain  could  be  placed  m  a  reason- 
able time.  The  plan  6f  the  Treasury  wu  criticised 
by  the  press  and  In  Congress  at  the  very  pntset,  but 
no  one  nda  proposed  a !  si^eme  as  a  substitute  which 
has  appeared  practicable  to  those  on  wliom  the  re- 
sponsfbtlity  rented.  If  one  Secretary  had  been  per- 
verse, or  persistent  in  pursuing  an  error  of  poliey 
which  he  had  irapro\idently  adopted,  the  circumstance 
might  not  be  extraordinary,  but  the  apuearance  of 
five  such  Secretaries  in  succession  Is  connary  to  ttie 
experience  of  mankin^.  T 

The  truth  is,  that  no  great  loan,  a  loan  of  11100,000.- 
000,  has  ever  been  taken  by  any  people,  except  under 
circumstances  widely  different  from  thosejexisting  in 
the  United  States  at  the  present  time.  The  French 
loan,  of  which  so  miich  has  been  said,|was  a  loan 
bearing  5  per  cent.  Interest,  and  it  was  bold  at  less 
than  86  cents  on  the  dollar.  '  If  the  people  of  the 
United  States  ahonld^  offer  a  5  i>er  cent,  bond  of 
indefinite  time,  at  R5  per  cent,  of  its  pa^  value,  the 
subscriptions  would  pe  equal  to  all  <  th4  available 
capital  of  the  country  ;  but  we  have  sdcceeded  in 
placing  first  a  5  per  cent.,  then  a  4^  pes  cent.,  and 
now  a  4  per  cent,  bond  at  par  in  coin.  £naand  alone, 
of  all  the  nations  of  the  earth,  eon  rival  uspfi  the  mat- 
ter  oJLpublic  credit ;  and  England  is  the  ofily  nation 
that  could  place  a  4  n^  cent,  loan  at  par  without  the 
idd  of  bankers  and  thelmaeiiinery  of  banktne  honsex. 
The  accnmulattbns  of  capital  are  so  great  ^  England, 
the  interest  on  money  is  there  so  low,  and*  the  public 
credit  so  well  established,  that  a  large  lo^  cotild  be 
negotiated  at  home  ;  but,  if  it  were  oCferad  in  other 
connteies,  even  England  would  be  compelled  to  resort 
to  the  agency  and  help  of  bankers.  | 

Motft  Invaatments  are  made  upon  taifh,  and  not 
upon  fmy  knowledge  which  the  mvestots  possess, 
and  I  venture  the  opinion  that  the  populay  subacrlp- 
tiona,  as  thev  are  called,  which  were  mada  under  the 
Ut«  proposal  of  the  Treasury  Bepartmeni  were  due 
in  a  large  part  to  the  fact  that  the  most  eminent  and 
wealthy  bankers  of  the  world  were  alreowr  subscril)* 
ers  for  enormous  sums.  The  value  of  the  syndicate 
is  not  alone  nor  chlefiy  in  their  ability  to  sjibscribe  on 
their  own  aceount  for  laig&  amounts  of  boods,  but  to 
the  oircamatanee  that  their  connections  and  influ- 
ence enabled  them  to  enlist  the  chief  finahci&l  son- 
des of  Eompe  in  npport  of  this  nndertal  ing.  The 
prime  qoestion  for  toe  people  of  the  Unitt  d  States  is 
not  whether  thje  members  of  the  syhdif  ste  realize 
large  profits,  but  9ther  whetiier  the  loa  l  Is  placed 
at  a  lower  rateibf  intirastthan  would  ot  larwue  be 

?iid.  The  diffiirenoe  for  a  tangla  year  [bet  reen  4  and 
^  per  cent,  exeeeda  jtha  total  commlnio  is  paid  for 
the  negotiation  of  the  bonds,  and  I  an  confident 
that  the  soles  since  1870  are  four  times  aa  great  as

Jn  compliance  witii  s  reaolntlon  of  the  Board 
of  apportionment,  Snpezintendant  Adanu  la  bow  pre* 
paxSnganeatlmatactf  theexpenseaof  thb  Department 
of  BnUdSsgt  for  1878.  That  department  hae  long  been 
r^arded  as  a  mere  ref  nge  for  rapadons  politiciana, 
who  furnished  no  eauivalent  aerrleesfor  the  saXariea 
th«yreeelved,and,  in  Ite  prevent  condition,  its abolitlod 
would  be  a  pnbUc  benefit.  It  exists  by  the  authority 
of  Le^puslatures  which  were  nnder  the  control 
of  the  old  Tammany  King,  and  its  power  extends 
over  every  stmotare  from  the  Battery  to  the  furthest 
poihtsoftheannexeddistiict.  The  great  dark,  towering 
tenement-houses,  which  offend  the  eye  at  almost 
every  point^  are  witnesses,  whether  they  stand  or 
fall  of  the  maladministration  of  a  department  which 
is  continually  imperilling  not  only  the  projierty,  but 
the  llTes  of  the  tens  of  thousands  It  la  paid  to  pro* 
tect  If  the  Board  of  Apportionment,  instead  of 
calling  upon  Mr.  Adams  for  his  annual  estimates  had 
hi*  department  thoroughly  investigated,  they  would 
find  that  it  is  not  only  unnecessary,  but  that  it  has  be- 
come a  costly  and  positive  injury  to  the  Metropolis, 
mailing  its  growth  and  contributing  to  the  disgrace 
of  I  its  Vretched  government.  The  slanghter  of  men 
andi  women  while  worshiping  in  St.  Andrew's 
Chnjrch,  occasioned  by  the  falling  of  a  dead 
condemned  wall  through  the  roof  of  the 
edifice,  and  the  more  recent  falling  of 
tenement-hotises  In  Twenty-third-strcet,  are 
among  the  instances  that  might  be  cited  to  show 
that  the  Building  Department  has  failed  to  comply 
with  the  requirements  of  the  law  under  which  It  was 
organized  to  protect  life  in  this  City.  But  there  are 
other  charges  laid  at  its  door.  It  is  said  that  the 
faciUtiea  for  extortion  are  more  extensive  in  the  De- 
partment of  Buildings  than  in  any  other ;  in  fact^  a 
builder  is  completely  at  its  mercy.  His  plans  are 
subjiect  to  the  approval  of  the  Inspector,  and  the  de- 
partment, through  Mr.  Adams  or  his  Immediate  as- 
sistants, mar  Interpret  the  law  as  they  please. 
Builders  have  long  since  become  palnfolly  aware  of 
the  fact  that  they  must  yield  to  the  pecuniary  de- 
mands of  a  little  tribe  of  sharks  who  are  aa  familiar' 
with  the  duties  and  peculiarities  of  the  ofSca  as  tbe 
Superintendent  himself.  If  the  builder  "comes 
down,"  aaUie  story  goes,  his  structures  may  go  np, 
but  he  is  too  much  overawed  by  the  power  of  the  de- 
portment  to  make  a  publio  exposure  of  his  experi- 
ence. 

A  few  days  ago  a  representative  of  the  Timss  called 
upon  Mr.  Jacob  A.  Vanderpoel^  a  wealthy  real  estate 
owner,  who  is  familiar  with  the  l^ractlces  of  the  de- 
partzntet.  Mr.  Vandeipoel  was  formerly  a  member 
of  the  Board  of  Education,  and  he  is  now  one  of  the 
Dock  Commissioners. 

"What  if  your  opinion  of  the  Department  of 
BnildiDgs T "  said  the  reporter  to  him.  "It  is  a  very 
bad  eoncem,"  he  replied,  "  indeed,  I  don't  know  any 
Bureau  that  is  worse." 

Q.— In  what  wayt  A.— In  many  ways  ;  the  de- 
partment has  got  every  builder  and  real  estate  owner 
nnder  its  control,  and  they  are  afraid  to,  say  any- 
thing lest  they  ihonld  be  persecuted;  they  could  do 
nothing  if  the  department  were  against  them  ;  they 
ore  especially  at  its  merry  in  the  matter  of  fire- 
escapes  ;  I  could  tell  yon  many  a  story  about  them. 

<J.— Please  give  me  a  few  facts.  A.^Well,  I'll  tell 
yoti  iwhat  the  department  does  ;  there  seem  to  be 
littjl^  rings  in  it,  or  outside  of  it,  and  thev  control 
their  mode  of  procedure  is  simple  but 
effective ;  for  instance',  you  are  served 
with  a  notice  to  put  np  fire-escapes 
immediately  on  your  building.  Then  a  member  of 
the  ring^ho  knows  all  about  the  notice  having  been 
delivered  calls  upon  you  and  intimates  his  willing- 
ness to  have  the  fire-escape  put  up  by  a  friend  of  his. 
If  you  tell  him  that  you  are  able  to  attend  to  that 
business  yourself,  he  will  simply  reply  that  if  you 
dott't  patronize  him.  the  Building  Department  will 
conjdemn  any  fire-escape  you  may  have  erected.  The 
bai|der  sees  into  the  matter  at  once,  and  he  feels 
thai  the  ring  man  has  a  mission  that  he  cannot  safely 
ignore.:  He  delays  action  on  the  matter  for  a  few 
dayiB,  apd  after  consulting  with  initiated  builders 
concludes  that  be  had  letter  employ  the  ring  man  to 
do  the  work.  Tlie  ring  man  is  subsequently  on  hand 
and  receives  the  order.  Then  the  stmcture  is  dnly 
ereetedl  and  receives  approval  at  the  hands  of  the  dc- 
{tartment.  I  need  not.  perhaps,  tell  you  that  these 
fire-eecapes  cost  a  good  round  stmi,  and  that  there  is 
a  great  deal  of  profit  on  them. 

ii- — Are  the  builders  or  real  estate  owners 
mulcted  in  any  other  way?  A — I  have  not  done 
with  the  subject  of  fire-escapee  yet.  When 
you  put  up  one  of  them  the  profits  arising 
from  it  do  not  satisfy  the  full  rapacity  of  the 
ring.  When  they  require  moro  money  they  are  en- 
abled to  rejoice  over  a  new  order  declaring  that  the 
previous  fire-escapes  that  had  been  erected  do  not 
answezj  tbe  purposes  for  which  they  were  intended, 
or  come  within  the  new  requirements  of  the  depart- 
ment. Then  they  come  down  like  Philistines  on 
theunlncky  property- owner,  and  repeat  their  former 
story.  Of  conrsti  they  get  the  job.  The  real  estate 
owner  dare  not  refuse  them.  Then  the  old  fire-es- 
cape is  removed,  and  a  new  ono  substituted.  You 
could  have  no  idea.  Sir,  of  how  the  clasis  to  which  I 
have  referred  has  been  harassed  not  only  by  out- 
siders, who  give  evidence  of  the  fact  that  1  hoy  are 
acting  in  league  with  officers  of  the  department, 
butjalso  by  the  officials  themselves. 

q1 — Why  don't  you  maite  a  complaint  before  Mayor 
Elylagalnst  Kuponntendcnt  Adams,  iffiiis  department 
is  cjontrolled  by  such  rings  1  A. — Mayor  Ely  has 
been  made  aware  of  some  of  the  facts.  A  relative 
of  mine  *ipoke  to  him  in  regard  to  Mr.  Adams  some 
weeks  since,  and  Mr.  Ely  replied :  "  Well,  let  him  go 
on  f<^  the  present ;  he  is  oiuy  making  a  rope  to  hang 
himself." 

Ql-UWouId  the  Mayor  take  action  upon  any  com- 
plaint that  might  be  preferred  aeainst  Mr.  Adams  } 
A.-rl  don't  know  ;  I  have  simply  told  you  what  he 
saic^  }o  a  relative  of  mine.  Adams  is  not  very  bevero 
on  me  now,  because  he  knows  that  Indirectly  I  have 
the  !«ar  of  the  Mayor,  and  might  place  him  in  an  ugly 
position-  There  is  another  matter  of  which  you 
mignjt  make  a  note. 

Q^-i-Have  you  finished  the  subject  of  fire-eseapes  ? 
A.— rYes,  for  th*?  present.  The  matter  to  which  pub- 
lic attention  ought  to  be  called  is  ttiis :  Mr.  Adams 
or  his  subordinates  have  given  permission  to  erect 
frame  buildings  on  Fifth,  Sixth,  and  other  of  our 
leading  avenues,  thus  not  only  imperiling  but  depre- 
"ig  the  value  of  property  in  these  neighborhoods. 
eat  many  people  are  indicant  at  thut,  and  tbeir 


t;;y' 


eating  the  value  of  property  in  these  neighborhoods. 
A  great  many  people  are  indicant  at  thut,  and  tbeir 
voice  will  soon  be  heard.     The  frame  buildings  for 


whibh  permission  was  given  have  been  erected,  to  the 
astonishment  of  everybody  except  those  who  know 
wh4t  can  be  done  in  the  Building  Dep«utment.  I 
shall  imyself  see  that  the  Mayor's  attention  is  called 
to  th|s  fact. 

The  conversation  then  ended,  the  gentleman  prom- 
islngjto  give  further  information  ata  future  time. 
'  THE  PAY-ROLLS  ALL  WBONG. 

Perhaps,  however,  the  above  charges  are  not  the 
moflftj  serious  that  can  be  laid  at  the  door  of  the  De- 
partment of  Buildings,  as  will  be  seen  from  another 
inten'iffw  that  occurred  between  an  official  formerly 
connect€Ki  with  it  and  the  writer ; 

Q:_Whatr  do  you  know  about  the  department? 
A.— ^I  was  employed  in  It,  and  I  ought  to  know  a 
good  deal  about  it ;  in  the  first  place  Its  pay-rolls  are 
wrong  in  this,  that  some  of  the  men  don't  get  the- 
sums  set  opposite  their  names. 

Q.  -j-That  is  a  serious  tlung ;  are  yon  quite  sure  of 
Itl    A.— Yes,  Sir,;  I  am  sure  of  it. 

Q-j-Caniyougiyeme  the  name  of  any  person  who 
reccdyed  less  than  the  sum  put  down  to  nim  on  the 
pay  roll  1  A. — I  con ;  I  myself  was  treated  in  that 
wa; ;  I  received  less  than  the  salary  that  appeared 
oppssjte  my  name. 

Q. — I  have  heard  that  Mr.  Adams  lets  his  sub- 
ordiCnates  have  their  own  way,  and  that  he  is  seldom 
at  the  office  ?  A — Then  you  have^heard  the  truth ; 
buti  although  he  is  absent,  everything  that  has  been 
done  is  told  to  him,  and  he  lets  the  department  go  on 
as  tisnal. 

Q; — Yoa  were  an  expert  in  the  department. 
Prom  what  you  know  of  it,  do  you  tliink  that  life  in 
teuement-housos  is  safe  under  its  management  V 
A. — X  do  not ;  the  falling  of  the  tenement  buildings 
in  Twenty-third-street,  a  short  time  ago,  is  a  proof  of 
the  [feet ;  they  were  pronounced  safe  by  an  inspec- 
tor of  the  department  shortly  before  they  fell. 

Qi-r-HavB  you  got  positive  knowledge  of  that  fact  f 
A--LI  have,  but  1  don't  want  to  be  brought  into  any 
unnieceBsary  controversy  on  the  point,  especially  aa"l 
am  acquainted  with  Mr.  Adams.  Let  me  tell  you  an* 
other  very  wronc  "thing  about  the  department.  For- 
merly the  attaches  of  it  were  furnished  with  badges 
desifpiating  their  office  and  showlns  their  authority. 
Soma  of  the  meu  were  discharged,  oat  they  retained 
their  badges,  and  were  thus  enabled  to  exercise  their 
former  functions. 

Q. — How  is  the  patronage  of  the  dei>artment  dis- 
posed of  !  A. — It  is  divided  in  such  a  way  as  to  pre- 
vent Mr.  Aidams'  removaL  When  the  Lt^lattrre  is 
in  session  Assemblymen  can  get  the  places,  and  when 
the  Legisla^oxe  baa  adjourned  the  Aldermen's  friends 
get  them.  The  Solons  and  the  City  Fathers  are  thus 
kept  from  interfering  with  the  department.  I  be- 
lieve that  Tammanj'  is  going  to  get  nearly  all  the 
patronage  in  it  in  a  nw  dayi. 

The  ^ter  next  called  upon  Mr.  fTames  M.  MeOxe- 
gor,i  formerly  Superintendent  of  Buildings.  He  said 
that  I  Mr.  AdaniJi'  department  was  grossly  mis- 
managed, andthJultseemedtobenwintheixLtazttst 
of  a(  few  men.

dea).  I  know  that  perxaiatdon.  has  been  given  to 
floreot  ffane;tmllding*  that  may  taH  at  any  moment. 

Ql — Will  yon  name  one  of  themi  A— I  will  give 
yon  a  apedmen  Instance.  The  department  allowed 
a  frame  theatrical  bniiding  to  be  erected  on  the  Bow- 
ery, and  I  regard  the  structure  as  unsafe,  hut  it 
seems  that  persona  connected  with  the  department 
have  an  interest  in  the  concern,  and,  therefore,  the 
permission  wan  given.  I  know  that  the  department 
Is  very  badly  conducted. 

A  good  deal  might  be  written  without  exhausting 
the  ea^ndar  of  eomplointa  against  Mr.  Adama  and 
hla  department.  '  The  dark  and  dangerous  tenement 
btiUdingB  erected  by  his  permission,  the  worthless 
fijre-escapes  on  these  itmctm^  composed  of  thin 
iron  ladden,  readilng  up  to  nine  or  ten  storiee,  on 
which  women  and  children  u-e  supposed  to  descend 
in  ease  of  flire,  but  which  even  nimble  saQors  eould 
hardly  scale,  and  the  absenee  of  these  fire-eeeapes 
from  buildings  where  they  are  most  needed — all  bear 
testimony  against  him.  it  is  a  significant  fact  that 
the  ownexa  of  small  frame  buildings,  wtiieh  ore  com- 
paratively safe,  have  been  com^led  to  erect  fire- 
escapes,  while  hnge  elght-stofy  barracks,  filled 
with  famlliea,  are  without  thenL,  And  then,  again, 
flre-eseapes  have  been  erected  at  the  back  of  tene- 
ment-housee,  within  a  few  yards  bf  other  rear  buUd. 
ings  which  have  no  merfns  of  egress  except  through  a 
narro^  hallway,  sotnettmea  duk,  winding,  and 
pefiWua.  The  writer  could  give  mmdreda  of  in- 
stances of  this  fact  from  personal  observation.  He 
oonld  also  point  I  to  many  rickety  frame  buildings 
which  have  been,  allowed  to  stand  in  their  present 
condition  for  many  years,  and  which  may  topple 
over  at  any  moment.  They  mav  be  found  in  the 
region  of  the  old  Fivo  Points,  in  &rand,  Washington, 
and  other  streets  down  town. 

It  is  somewhat  ludicrons  to  behold  the  position 
Mr.  Adams  and  his  subordinatea  place  themselves  In 
soon  after  a  building  has  fallen  in  this  City  or  been 
destroyed  by  fire.  On  the  morning  after  the  calamity 
he  Is  promptly  on  the  gronnd,  looking  wistfully  at 
the  ruins,  or  informing  members  of  the  pressjthat  he 
came  to  do  ereTTtbingthat  layin  his  power  to^Ud  the 
poor  sufferers.  He  stood  on  the  debris  of  the  Twenty- 
third-street  tenements  tne  day  after  they  fell,  and 
had    the    fact   proclaimed  In    some    of    the    news- 

fapors-  as  an  evidence  of  his  watchfulness. 
mmedlately  after  the  destruction  of  the  Brooklyn 
Theatre  by  fire,  he  caused  an  examination  to  l>e  maile 
of  all  the  places  of  amusement  in  this  City,  had  a 
few  slight  alterations  made  in  them,  and  then  pro- 
nounced  them  safe,  although  some  of  them  were 
known  as  mere  *' shells."  with  Insufficient  egress, 
that  in  case  of  a  conflagration  would  "  go  off  like  a 
match."  At  that  time  the  fact  of  the  worthlessneas 
of  his  department!  aa  a  means  of  protection  to  life 
dawned  upon  the  public,  which  has  withdrawn  the 
small  amount  of  confidence  previously  rex>osed  in  it. 
It  would  be  well  for  the  Board  of  Apportionment 
or  the  Mayor  to  cause  a-rieid  and  tborouch  examina- 
tion of  the  secret  affairs  of  the  Building  Department 
to  be  made  before  i  considering  Mr.  Adams'  forthcom- 
ing estimate  of  exbenses  for  Uie  year  1876. 


A  THIRTY  TEARS'  COURTSHIP. 


REMARKABLE  BfeEACH  OP  PROMISE  CASE  IN 
TORKSHIRkL  ENGLAND — ^A  WOMAN  JILTED 
AFTER  AN  ENGAGEMENT  OP  30  TEARS- 
TWO  CHILDREN^  BORN  TO  THE  LOVERS — 
A  VERDICT  IN  FAVOR  OF  THE  PLAINTIFF. 
From  tM  London  Daily  AVict ,  July  27. 
At  the  LieedB  Summer  Assizes  on  Wednesday, 
before  Mr.  Justice  Lush,  an  action  was  brought  by 
Tjydia  Dixon  against  William  Brearley  to  recover 
damages  for  a  breach  of  promise  of  marriage.  Mr. 
DIgby  Seymour  and  Mr.  Heaton  Cadman  were  for 
the  plaintiff ;  andMr.  Waddy  andMr.  West  for  tbe 
defendant.  In  opening  the  cose,  Mr.  Seymour  said 
defendant  denied. the  promise  of  marriage  and  said 
that  BufBciont  time  had  not  elapsed.  All  he  [Mr. 
Seymourj  eould  say  was  that  if  30  years'  courtship 
was  not  loQg  enongh  he  was  much  mistaken.  [X>augh- 
ter.]  This  case  was.  in  seme  respect  a  remarkable 
one.  The  plaintiff  was  the  daughter  of  parents 
in  humble  circumstances,  and  during  many  years 
of  her  life  in  various  situations  near  Soutliowram, 
Halifax-  The  defendant  was  now  a  currier  in  South- 
owram,  and  on  the  6th  May  last  he  married  the 
widow  of  a  substantial  butcher  in  that  neighborhood. 
He  formed  an  acqntintance  with,  and  propo6ed  mar- 
riage to.  the  plaintiff  when  she  was  only  i7  year«  of 
age.  She  was  now  49.  (Latighter.)  And  humoronn 
as  it  was  in  one  sense,  hethoughtwhenthe  juryheard 
the  case  it  would  assume,  as  far  as  the  plaintiff  was 
concerned,  a  different  aspect.  The  facts  showed  that 
the  ('onduct  of  the  defendant  was  very  heartless,  and 
there  were  incidents  in  the  case  which  led  her  lo  trust 
him  down  to  thjs|  very  last.  He  had  a  number  of 
letters  which  were  written  a  long  time  ago,  and  which 
showed  that  the  |  parties  commenced,  at  lea.'rt,  with 
honorable  intentions.  They  were  remarkable  epU- 
tles,  and  showed  how  religion  and  love  fell  in  to- 
gether and  gave  a  tone  to  the  mind  of  the  writer. 
The  defendant  began  in  the  tone,  he  was  going  to 
say,  of  the  prayer-book—"  Dearly  beloved."  JLaugh- 
ter.j  He  [Mr.  Seymour]  was  not  surnriaed  the  letter 
began  thus,  for  it  was  written  on  a  Sunday  evening. 
{Renewed  laughter.]  The  letter,  which  was  dated 
April  3,  1817,  went  on  aa  follows  : 

"  I  hope  yon  haTelarrived  safe  and  well  and  that  70U 
are  In  good  health  and  spirita,  aa  11  leaves  me  at  present. 
My  dear,  I  wan  raach  affe*Tted  this  morning  on  opening 
that  which  you  gavo  m<»  on  Snnday  night  hwt.  My

tfLatjghter.J  i| 
\VhIch  was  the  iijose  and  which  the  lilv.  he  [Mr. 
ymour)  did  not  know.  If  he  were  the  rose,  it  left 
h  sharp ;thom  behind,  and  gave  her  a  very  severe 
stlngi  !  [Renewed  laughter. J  Letter  oontlnuing. 
said :; 

"Oh  only  be  faithful.  nprlKht.  true,  and  ohoiite.  and 
render  unto  me,  and  I  will  render  onto  yon,  aaXth  tho

ks  paper  is  \-ery  trifling.    Your  dear  affectionate  lover. 
I  WlLdJAM   BREARLET." 

I   Di  the  next  letter  he  song  in  a  higher  strain.     He 

Sighed: 

"Oh,  that  !  had  wintcslikoadove, 
I  would  Sy  to  the  anns  otmy  love. 
To  takea kiss  so  sweetly."

^ehtilf  It  is  left  to  you  alone." 

I  The  letter  went  on  to  say  that  prosperity  smiled  on 
him.  He  [Mr.  Seymour]  hoped  that  it  did  so  atill,  and 
that  he  might  be  able  to  nay  the  damages  which  m<ght 
he  found  against  him.  [Laughter.)  From  ttiis  time 
down  to  May  last  defendant  fre^inently  alluded  to  his 
position  with  regard  to  tho  plamtiff  In  the  presence 
^of  the  members  of  her  family,  and  had  made  her  re^ 
~i>eated  ijromises  of  marriage.  Trusting  in  him,  she 
gave  way  to  his  entreaties,  and  in  the  vear  1853  so 
far  forgot  herself  as  to  become  the  motKer  of  a  cliild 
— o  daughter— which  wos  stlU  alive,  and  which  had 
been  aftlliated  on  the  defendant.  Two  or  three 
yeftjs  afterward  she  gave  birth  to  another 
daughter,  which  was  sull  living,  but  very  del- 
icate, and  which  was  also  affiliated  upon  defendant. 
.JLfter  the  birth  of  the  children  he  continued  to  be  ex- 
wemely  kind  to  the  mother,  and  as  the  children  grew 
np  he  frequently  asked  them  to  call  him  "father." 
He  made  them  many  i>reRenta,  more  or  less  liberal, 
and  acted  toward  them  in  every  way  becoming  a  man 
who  Intended  to  be  joined  in  wedlock  with  their 
mother.  Defendaht  excused  himself  from  not  carry- 
ing out  hia  repeated  promises  by  saying  that  his  fath- 
er was  living  and  wante<l  him  to  stay  at  home.  Some 
time  In  1 872  or  1873,  he  gave  the  plaintiff  a  sum  of 
.^30  for  her  daughter.  The  evemng  prior  to  his 
marriage  with  the]  butcher's  widow,  he  called  upon 
plaintiff  mode  he^  a  present  of  £50,  and  asked 
whether  his  wishes  In  regard  to  the  other  £50  had 
been  carried  out.  ne  never  told  her  anything  about 
his  intended  marriage,  bnt  led  plaintiff  to  believe 
Jthat  he  was  making  all  this  provision  with  the  view 
of  making  her  his  wife.  On  one  occasion  when  a 
renuurk  was  made  iibout  plaintifTs  danghters,  to  the 
effect  that  they  were  sensitive  about  their  position, 
the  defendant  ro]611ed,  "WTiat  should  they  bo 
ashamed  of  ?  I  mean  to  make  them  all  right.  As 
soon  as  the  old  gaffer  has  gone  we'll  all  live  honora- 
Ijly  and  happily  together."  However,  he  married  the 
window  of  a  butcher  on  the  6th  May  last. 

LydiaDlion.  the!  plaintiff,  gave  cororborative  evi- 
dence. She  added  that  she  received  a  letter  from  the 
defendant  to  the  foilowinc  effect , 

"  Remember,  love,j  the  nfght  you  left  the  AdglU  Grove, 
for  you  only  are  the  joy  of  my  heart.  »  •  •  j^p.

addressed  the  jury,  who  ultimately  gave  a  verdict  for

to-night,  in  Inference  to  the  political  situation.  I 
did  not  come  to  Oregon  for  that  purpose.  I  did  not 
think  of  speaking,  but  now  that  my  official  duties 
have  terminated,  and  at  the  request  of  a  large 
number  of  my  political  and  personal  friends,  I 
have  agreed  to  eay  something  upon  the  general 
situation.  Our  Government  is  at  this  time  in  a 
peculiar  sitoatlon.  It  is  divided  In  Its  powers  be- 
tween two  parties.  The  Democratic  Puty  had  a 
majority  in  the  last  House  of  Bepresentatives,  and 
will  have  In  the  new  one  abont  to  be  organized. 
The  Republican  Party  has  a  small  majority  in  the 
Senate.  'Rie  B^Hiblican  Party  have  elected  a  Presi- 
dent, a  patriotic  and  able  man^  who  has  entered  upon 
the  discharge  .of  hia  duties  under  circumstances  of 
great  difficulty  and  embarToasmeat.  A  condition  of 
things  has  eome  to  pass  which  many  believed  would 
never  take  plaoe  in  this  country,  and  which  I  had 
hoped  to  see  long  deferred,  If  it  ever  should  happen. 
We  are  now  at  a  period  of  retrogression.  There  is 
no  use  in  dlagaJahig  the  situation  from  otirselves  for 
one  moment.  Whenever  we  ore  in  danger  the  best 
thing  to  do  is  to  confront  it,  meet  it  boldly.  There 
is  nothing  to  be  gidned  by  dt^uislng  the  situation  of 
affairs.  Let  us  understand  it  fully,  and  coorageons- 
ly  address  ourselves  to  it. 

A  RAPID  BKVISW  OF  FIFTEKN  TEASS. 

When  the  war  was  over,  the  Republican  Party, 
being  in  the  ascendenoyin  every  niu^  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, havine  a  majority  in  each  house  of  Con- 
gress, and  having  the  Pii>Bldeht.  proceeded  to  the 
work  of  reconstruction.  But  very  soon  a  President, 
elected  by  the  Itepublicans,  deserted  the  party  and 
went  over  to  the  Democratic  Party.  But  the  Re- 
pubUcan  Party  was  still  left  In  poisession  of  both 
nouses  of  Congress.  It  proceeded  in  1867,  after  a 
long  debate  and  consideration,  to  the  wozic  of  re- 
construction. It  devised  and  adopted  a  system 
upon  w^hich  the  States  which  had  been  engaged  in 
the  rebellion  might  return  to  their  normal  condi- 
tion In  the  Union,  and  exerdsefull  political  power. 
Under  the  circumstances,  it  was  one  of  extraordi- 
nary ma^animity.  So  f ar  aa  generosity  was  eon- 
eemed,  it  excelled  anything  in  the  history  of  the 
world,  allowii^  all  those  men  who  hod  been  in  arms 
against  us  to  take  part  In  the  administration  of  our 
Government.  All  those  who  had  been  engaged  in 
Abe  rebellion  were  at  once  forgiven.  Their  offenses 
were  at  once  wiped  oat— forgotten  they  never  can 
be.  The  great  mass  of  the  Southern  people  were  at 
once  admnl^  to  the  enjoyment  of  poliucal  ri^ts. 
Now,  there  were  a  great  many  wise  men  in  the 
North  who  thought  this  was  unwise,  and  that  the 
time  would  come  when  they  would  regret  it.  Am- 
nesty was  conferred  on  ou  except  a  few  of  the 
leaders  of  the  rebellion,  those  who  had  been  mem- 
bers of  Congress  before  the  war,  those  who  had 
been  in  the  Army  and  Navy,  those  in  the  diplomatic 
service  of  the  country  who  had  occupied  positions  of 
hlfih  trust — most  of  those  were  excepted  for  the  time 
being.  But  the  rules  were  relaxed,  even  In  regard  to 
them,  uniil  now  there  are  not  more  than  200  persons 
in  the  United  States  under  political  disabiUtlea  on 
account  of  their  connection  with  the  rebellion.  Most 
of  the  military  officers  and  those  who  had  been  in  the 

Congress  of  tyb  Confederacy  were  pardoned  or  am- 
nestied, and  many  of  them  are  now  in  the  Congress 
of  the  United  States,  making  laws  for  the  government 
of  this  people.  We  had  hoped  that  this  magnanimity 
of  the  Eepubllcan  Party — that  party  which  ho^ 
been  in  power  ail  these  years — we  had  hoped 
this  magnanimity  on  tbe  part  of  the  Repub- 
lican Party  would  have  been  met .  In  the 
same  spirit,  and  that  the  Republicans  in  the  South, 
whether  white  or  black — Union  men  or  Confed- 
erates, would  be  regarded  aa  having  politlca]  ri^^ts, 
and  permitted  to  enjoy  them  in  security.  This 
was  what  we  had  a  right  to  expect.  Our  ideas 
comprehended  a  perfect  system  of  freedom  of  ac- 
tion to  carrv  out  our  views  in  anv  leeitimate  way, 
by  having  Uberty  of  speech,  by  navihg  liberty  to 
publish,  by  having  the  right  to  meet  in  eonven- 
tiouH,  by  resorting  to  any  machinery  neeeasory  to 
carry  on  Govemmenti  in  every  act  recognizing  their 
right  to  do  all  these  things.  There  is  no  liberty 
without  this.  It  is  a  condition  of  slavery,  and  just 
so  far  as  any  class  of  people  come  short  oi  this,  Just 
so  far  their  liberty  is  abridged.  In  the  reconstruc- 
tion of  the  Southern  States  we  -  voluntarily  re- 
stored them  to  equal  political  rights.  But  when 
the  Democratic  Party  in  the  South  come  into  power 
they  set  out  to  destroy  and  annihilate  the  Repuolicon 
Party,  not  simply  to  6eat  it  as  you  wonld  beat  it  by 
voting  it  down  ;  not  to  beat  It  In  that  way.  but  to  de- 
stroy It  to  moke  it  impossible  to  be  a  Republican,  so 
that  a  man  cannot  be  a  Republican  without  incurring 
the  danser  of  closing  his  business,  perhaps  his  life, 
losing  all  chance  of  social  happiness,  so  that  his  chil- 
dren cannot  ko  to  school — In  other  worda,  to  destroy 
him  iK)liticalIy,  commercially,  and  especiaDy  profes- 
sionally. This  has  been  the  nenalty  f  or  being  a  Re- 
publican in  the  Southern  States.  This  was  the  plan 
adopted  in  Alabama.  Iliey  proceeded  afterward 
in  the  same  course  throughout  the  States  of 
North  Carolina,  Arkanaaa,  Misalsaippi,  and  now 
in  South  Carolina,  Louisiana,  and-  Florida. 
State  by ,  State  the  Republican  Party  has 
been  destroyed  by  force,  violence,  persecution.  The 
Democratic  Party  has  but  a  small  majority  in  Greor. 
gia— I  think  not  over  6.000  or  8.00O-aad  yet  they 
gave  a  majority  for  TUden  of  81.000.  In  Missis- 
nipt  the  R«pubbeans  have  a  majority  of  not  less  than 
30,000  or  35,000,   and  yet  in    l»75-0  that  State 

five  a  Democratic  majority  of  GO.OOO.  Alal>ama  has 
B.OOO  Republican  majority,  and  vet  it  gava  Tilden 
a  majority  of  over  30,000— nearly  40,000.  South 
Carolina,'  the  strongest  Republican  Htate  in  the 
Union,  in  proportion  to  its  population,  having  a 
clear  majority  of  not  less  than  JO. 000,  had  that  ma- 
jority In-ou^t  down  to  a  mere  song,  to  a  mere  nomi- 
nal number.  How  did  it  happen  t  It  boa  been  done 
by  violence.  It  has  been  done  by  murder.  It  has 
been  done  by  oppression.  It  has  1>een  done  bv  perse- 
cution. It  has  been  done  by  every  influence  ^lat  the 
tyranny  of  man  can  devise.  The  colored  men  were 
killed  by  hundreds,  and  I  may  say  by  thousands. 
The  evidence  is  complete  and  overwhelming.  Take 
tlie  campaign  in  Mississippi  in  1875.  in  which  there 
were  hundreds  of  murders  and  crimes  of  every  de- 
scription. It  is  a  tale  of  horrors,  too  terrible  for  be- 
lief, yet  the  vast  volumes  of  evidence  token  to  prove 
it  is  a  sealed  book  because  it  is  a  task  too  huge  to 
read  it. 

A  80Ln>  SOUTH  AND  THE  OOXSEQXrENCEfi. 
My  friends,  the  Democratic  Party  has  acquired  a 
soliu  South.  They  have  gained  a  solid  South,  not 
by  voting  the  Republicans  down  as  you  would  vote 
the  I>emocrats  down  In  Oregon,  but  by  these  crimes, 
and  they  have  control  of  these  States.  The  South 
boa  been  conquered  from  the  Repabllean  Party  aa 
tho  rebellion  was  before  conquered  by  the  armies  of 
tho  Union.     Now,  friends,  let  us  consider  what  it  is 

going  to  bring  to  you  as  Republicans  or  as  Democrats 
1  Oregon  I  >Vbat  will  it  bring  to  tlie  people  of  the 
North  I  For,  my  Democratic  friends,  we  are  aH  in 
the  same  boat  in  this  matter.  ^Vhat  affect« 
them  ilisastrously  will  affect  you  disastrous- 
ly, and  you  cannot  afford  to  stand  by  and 
see  any  class  of  men  deprived  of  their 
rights,  no  difference  whether  they  ore  white  or  black. 
Republican  or  Democrat,  Protestant  or  Catholic — 
you  cannot  safely  stand  by  and  see  any  class  of  men 
deprived  of  their  rights.  For  when  any  class  of  men 
are  successfully  deprived  of  their  rights  it  la  a  blow 
struck  Kt  human  liberty.  It  may  come  to  you  before 
long.  The  South  is  to  be  wielded  as  a  aoUd  South. 
It  is  to  be  tied  up  as  one  sheaf.  It  is  to  be  a  unit.  It 
is  intended  thereby  to  make  it  the  master  of  this 
country,  and  when  they  have  crushed  the  Republican 
Party  out  of  existence  in  the  South,  they  hope  bv  a 
solid  South,  with  the  aid  of  a  few  States  in  the 
North — New- York,  New-Jersey,  and  Connecticut  will 
suffice — ^by  having  a  solid  South,  they  expect  to. 
dominate  the  Noruiem  Democrats  as  they  did  the 
Southern  Republicans.  This  is  their  poliey,  and  it  is 
a  question  whether  ^e  people  of  the  North  will  long 
submit  to  this.  My  friends,  they  will  not.  .  We  can- 
not sacrlflf^e  principle  because  those  who  may  be  the 
present  victims  of  it  happen  to  differ  from  uj^ln  poll- 
ucfl.  I  want  my  Democratic  frlenda  to  iwderstand 
we  cannot  consent  to  have  5,000,000  or  6,000.000 
of  men  struck  down  and  mode  slaves  because  they 
happen  to  differ  from  others  in  politics.  This  wiU 
come  bock,  and  cannot  be  practiced  upon  one  class 
without  other  classes  being  Injured  thereby.  We  must 
insist  that  every  man  shaU  have  foil  and  complete 
enjoyment  of  his  xwlltical  rights.  Thank  God  the 
Bepubllcon  Party  stands  on  tiiat  platform ;  it  la  worth 
everything  else  !  We  want  to  be  a  party  of  human 
liberty.  We  want  to  be  a  party  of  equal  rightB.  We 
want  to  be  a  party  of  equu  justice.    We  believe  in 

S'ving  eqtial  rights  to  all  men  without  regard  to  opin- 
n,  and  without  regard  to  their  condition. 

SOUTHEBN   PXiEDGBS   VTOUaTED. 

In  Louisiana  and  South  Carolina,  when  Mr.  Hayes 
was  Inaugurated,  he  found  their  Governments  simply 
exisitins:  in  the  State-houses.  He  determined  not  to 
tmdertue  to  sustain  them.  I  am  not  going  to  dis- 
cuss the  question  whether  he  could  or  not,  but  my 
own  impression  is,  he  could  not.  But  he  determined 
that  be  would  not  undertake  it.  But  they  gave  him 
certain  pledges,  gave  to  him  certain  promises,  agi-eed 
to  do  certain  things,  in  case  the  Army-was  withdrawn 
from  Louisiana  and  South  Carolina.  Every  one 
of  these  pledges  has  been  violated.  In  direct 
violation  of  their  promise,  they  have  In- 
dicted members  of  the  Returning  Board,  d  circum- 
stance that  should  make  the  face  of  every  Southern 
man  crimson,  in  the  State  of  South  Carolina  tiiey 
violated  every  pledge,  showing  that  these  men  will 
keep  faith  vith  no  one.  They  will  keep  no  faith, 
obser^'e  no  obligation.  Observe  that  I  dpn't  intend 
to  say  all'the  people  of  the  South  are  of  that  char- 
acter. There  are  a  lai^  class  in  those  States  who 
abhor  these  things,  but  they  are  powerless.  They 
dare  not  express  this,  they  dare  not  raise  their 
volces  in  regard  to  it.  There  is  a  fire-eating  and  ag- 
gressive class,  who,  though  in  the  minority,  domi- 
nate these  other  men  just  as  they  did  before  the 
war.  When  the  rebellion  ca^e  on  there  was  a 
large  element  who  opposed  it;  a  majority  in 
Louisiana  onposed  it,  a  majority  in  Tennessee, 
in  North  CoroUBa  and  perhaps  other  States,  but  the 
flre-eating  doss,  who  gambled  and  run  horses, 
these  are  the  men  who  controlled  the  politics  of  the 
South.  The  men  of  property  and  education  are' 
silent  because  their  protection  demands  It.  Wade 
Hampton  is  but  a  representative  of  this  class. 
Nichols  is  but  their  representative,  and  sevezal 
other  southern  men  that  I  could  mention.  And 
then  the  murder  of  the  Chiaholm  famllv  took  place 
under  circumstances  of  such  axtrooruinaxT'  horror 
that  it  shookthe  whole  worid;  yon  have  readthestory.

which  I  am  glad  to  believe  they  execrate.  But  that 
element  which  brought  on  the  rebellion,  that  terrible

day. 

PATHKXT    OF    THE    BEBEI,     CIAUCS    TO    BX   DE* 
MANDED. 

Kow,  friends,  a  few  words  as  to  what  la  IOobIt  to 
happen  if  the  Democratic  Party  of  the  South  snail 

£Bt  control  of  this  Govemnient.  I  may  say  right 
ere  to  yoa  that  the  people  of  the  8011th  an  deaper- 
at^  In  earnest.  They  have  a  policy.  Our  Deano- 
exmtte  friends  of  tb«  North  have  no  policy.  I  will 
ask  tbe  most  intelligent  Democrat  in  the  State  of 
Orwon  what  la  the  policy  of  his  own  party  upon  any 
sahjlect,  I  do  not  core  what  it  is,  and  he  cannot 
tell  me.  I  would  like  to  put  them  on  the  stand  and 
have  them  answer.  They  have  no  policy.  On  the 
currency  no  two  h&rdly  agree ;  on  the  tariff  ques* 
tion  they  do  not  agree  ;  and  on  internal  Improve- 
ment they  do  not  agree.  They  have  a  policy  upon  only 
one  point— they  are  all  for  the  office*.  Not  so  with 
the  South.  Iney  have  a  policy  in  which  they  agree. 
They  will  say  to  you.  '*  Take  the  ofHce^  but  give  us 
the  meaauree."  They  will  give  you  the  President, 
Vioe-Preaidont,  and  members  of  the  Cabinet,  but  they 
want  their  measures.  What  are  your  measures,  gen- 
tlemen f  The  first  Is  to  pay  tlum  /or  their  lotut  our- 
ing  tiu  war— for  property  dettroyed  by  cvr  Armff  and 
(heir  Artny  ;  for  the  real  estate  injured  and  oersonal 
property  destroyed.  Thhi  Is  what  they  ask.  Thmi  tefll 
he  satitfied  itrUh  nothing  leu.  The  Democratic  Party 
of  the  North  can  never  agree  with  them  except  upon 
thatpollcy.  Therelsonesecretsomeofyouheredonot 
know.  Mr.  Tilden  wrote  a  letter  just  before  the  1st 
of  November,  late  in  October,  driven  to  It  by  stress 
of  circumstances,  in  which  he  saSd:  "I  shall  never 
be  In  favorof  paying  the  rebel  debts."  He  put  it  off 
until  the  lost  moment,  but  that  letter  lost  bim  the 
confidence  of  the  South.  They  never  respected  him 
afterward.  The  South  now.  If  they  wire  to  nomi- 
nate a-condidate,  would  not  touch  lilden  with  a  40- 
foot  pole.  They  voted  for  him  afterward  because 
they  were  clearly  satisfied  it  would  be  better  for 
them  than  to  have  a  Republican.  If  it  had  not  been 
ifor  that  letter,  they  would  have  filibustered  and  pie- 
vented  the  count.  •  It  is  sometimes  said  that 
the  decision  was  produeed-  by  contract.  They 
consented  to  lose  Tilden  because  be  had  de- 
clared against  their  claims.  No  Democratic 
candidate  will  ever  do  that  again.  The  very 
moment  he  did  that  he  cut  his  jugular  vein.  The 
South  are  determined  upon  that  policy,  rhiey  will 
not  act  with  the  Democratic  Party  eicent  upon  the 
condition  that  they  concede  to  them  that  policy. 
Once  begun,  1/  ■wCI  banhrttpt  tkut  Government,  running 
np  to  hundredt  and  thoutandt  of  T7t4Uio7U  of  doUart. 
I  may  refer  to  one  thing,  that  so  far  as  these  South- 
em  claims  are  concerned,  they  have  been  voted 
upon  for  the  last  five  years,  and  that  no  Dem^ocntt 
hat  been  /ovnd  voting  againU  any  eUUfn  in 
the  SentUe  becaiue  the  owner  weu  a  reb^  So 
for  as  that  distinction  is  concerned,  it  has 
been  ignored  almost  entirdy.  Votes  in  both 
houses  have  ignored  that  distinction.  The 
claims  have  been  defeated  in  the  Senate  of  the 
United  States,  where  it  was  known  that  tho  property 
belonged  to  rebels,  nottme  of  the  Democratic  mem- 
bars  voting  against  the  claim  upon  that  aeeotmt. 
The  Southern  men  will  not  stand  it.  The  Sotiihem 
men  toill  tiot  permit  them  to  t>ote  againtt  theee  claim*  ; 
if  they  do  the  partnership  is  dissolved — ^it  only  ciMs 
upon  that  conoition.  Bnt  it  don't  stop  there,  friends ; 
this  Is  the  first  thing,  and  when  they  pay  all  claims, 
whether  of  rebel  or  union  men,  they  say  this  is  the 
way  to  oUay  all  feeling,  .  abolish  all  dbrtlnction 
created  by  the  war  between  lovoity  and  dipdojolty, 
and  thtis  you  fraternize.  If  the  Democratic  Par^ 
get  into  power  do  you  think  they  will  ever  vote  a 
dollar  to  pay  the  pensions  unless  you  pav  the 
pensions  of  the  soldiers  engaged  in  the  reDellion  f 
when  they  get  Into  power  it  mil  be  pension  all  or 
pension  none.  Tho  next,  periiaps  the  last  thing,  will 
be  to  osJc  for  the  payment  for  their  slaves. 

THIS  PCrBPOSE  KOT  ABASTDOKED. 

If  there  is  any  one  who  thinks  they  have  aban* 
doned  the  idea  of  getting  pamnent  for  their  elaret, 
that  is  a  mistake.  They  wUl  not  come  to  that  at 
once,  but  thev  will  come  to  it  gradually.  It  is  well 
known  they  Iiave  prtterrsed  a  eatdlomu  <^  ihar 
slave*,  their  appraisement  and  their  value,  and  they 
teiU  demand  paynhcnt  for  their  Have*,  and  when 
they  make  that  demand  the  Democratic  Party  of 
the  North  cannot  consistently  refuse  it,  because 
when  slaverr  was  abolished  we  were  told  by 
our  Democratic  friends  in  Oregon,  and  everywhere 
else,  that  it  was  unconstltutionaL  And  the  Democrats 
voted  agoinBt  tbe  thirteenth  aznendment.  Lincoln's 
course  w;a6  deemed  an  oppressive  tyranny.  Tlie  Re- 
publicans were  blamed  for  bringing  on  the  war  and 
us  responsible  for  its  consequences.  If  they  get  Into 
power  they  will  demand  payment  for  their  slaves. 
They  will  say,  you  said  we  were  right,  you  ,said  the 
Emancipation  Proclamation  was  unconstitutional ; 
you  have  agreed  with  tis ;  now  if  you  believe  we 
are  right  and  they  were  wrong,  then  you  must  l>e  In 
favor  of  paying  us.  I  aay  that  if  I  was  a  Democrat 
and  believed  the  Proclamation  of  Emomnpation  was 
a  crime,  I  should  feel  impelled  as  an  honest  man  to 
pay  the  men  for  their  property  thus  taken  improp- 
erly, and  there  is  no  answer  to  this  argument.  But 
this  is  not  the  first  step.  The  first  is  the  payment  of 
their  claims — all  their  loss.  Next  is  the  pension  of 
their  soldiers,  widows,  and  orphans.     Pension  all  or 

Knsion  none,  and  the  next  is  tneir  slaves.    And  per- 
ps  next  will  come  the  rebel  wax  debt. 

DOCTRIKE  OF  THE  BEBELLIOX  STILL  TAUGHT. 

In  the  South  they  are  to4ay  teaching  in  every' 
school,  -academy,  and  college,  the  doctrine  of  State 
sovereignty  and  State  rights  ;  the-same  doctrine  that 
they  taught  before  the  war.  It  is  taught  in  every 
Democratic  newspaper  in  the  South,  in  every  book  that 
they  publish  of  a  politica^character,  more  indixstri- 
ously  than  ever  before.  That  alarms  nobody,  and 
don't  bear  fruit  to-day  or  to-morrow  ;  but  it 'bears 
fruit  in  a  generation  or  two.  The  alarm  and  the 
dangers  are,  that  the  South  ore  now  being  taught 
these  doctrines  that  brought  on  the  rebellion.  It  is 
a  part  of  every  young  znon's  education.  "WTiat  are 
those  doctrines  f  That  the  States  are  sovereign 
and  independent ;  that  each  State  is  a  nation  ; 
that  our  Government  is  a  Confederacy ;  is 
at  the  same  time  a  combination  or  collection  of 
States  bound  together  by  treaty.  Kvery  State  is  a 
nation,  independent  and  fiovereign,and  are  simply  held 
together  by  a  written  agreement  called  a  compact. 
fHiat  was  the  doctrine  of  C-olhoun,  and  is  the  doctrine 
of  Alexander  H.  Stephens  toniay,  and  is  that  of  every 
leader  of  the  Democratic  Party  to-day  in  tho  whole 
South.  Thatmade  rebellion  possible -it  wasseizednpon 
by  slavery.  The  idea  is  that  New- York  is  one  nation 
and  South  Carolina  another,  just  the  same  as  France 
and  England,  haviuK  entered  into  a  treaty,  and  that 
Instead  of  having  one  nation  we  have  38  nations  ;  if 
the  Constitution  Ehould  be  suspended,  we  have  38 
hidependent  nations,  just  as  Independent^as  France 
and  England.  ^Vhen  the  rebellion  came'on  tbey  de- 
termined to  secede  ;  they  Insisted  they  had  the  right 
to  withdraw  at  pleasure ;  that  they  c&me  voluntarily. 
and  could  go  ont  voluntarily.  South  Carolina  could 
go  out  by  the  some  process  that  sheeome  in.  Vlr- 
l^nia  eould  do  the  some  thing.  That  doctrine  is  b»- 
ug  tauji^t  in  the  South  to-day.  "We  cannot  tell,  no 
man  can  tell,  what  may  be  before  us. 

THE  KATXOSAL  I>OOTKQnE. 
The  Republican  doctrine  is  just  the  opposite  of  all 
this.  With  them  there  is  but  one  Instead  of  38  no- 
tions. That  we  are  one  people,  inseparable  and  indi- 
visible ;  that  Oregon  is  a  port  of  this  nation,  just  as 
Indiana  is  a  part  of  the  some  great  people,  subdi- 
vided into  States  for  local  and  domestic  purposes, 
and  these  States  have  their  rights  under  the  (Jonsti- 
tution,  sacred,  inviolable,  and  impregnable.  We  have 
no  right  to  violate  them.  They  were  gisgn 
by  tbe  Constitution  when  Oregon  was  im- 
mitted  into  the  Unioru  Congress  might  have 
kept  ycm  out  for  a  century. »  Ton  were  made  a  State 
by  an  Cet  of  Congress.  Every  right  you  have  as  a 
State  isgivbn  to  you  by  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
ted  States.  You  agree  to  this  doctrine  as  soon  as 
you  become  a  sovereign  State.  "We  teach  the  doc- 
trine of  nationalihf.  It  is  the  only  doctrine,  my 
friends,  that  can  keep  the  people  together  in  the 
far  future.  Wherever  we  are,  wherever  we  go  we 
nn  Americans,  whether  In  Oregon,  in  Indiana,  or 
South  Carolina.  We  have  the  same  rights,  we  be- 
long to  one  people,  and  no  State  has  a  right  to  with- 
draw from  the  Union.  We  teach  the  doctrine  be- 
cause it  is  safe  to  the  States,  and  because  It  is  the 
only  one  upon  which  union  can.  be  preserved. 

THE  KEXT  POLXTZCAL  STSUGOLE. 

Hy  friends,  I  have  spoken  longer  than  I  intended 
to.  3Iy  remarks  have  been  desultory,  and  I  have  had 
BO  prearranged  speech.  I  want  to  aay,  In  conclusion, 
that  the  lumnony  and  preservation  of  the  Repub- 
lican Party  is  indispensable  to  tbe  prosperity  and 
■^ety  of  the  Union.  This  is  now  more  so  than  it 
ever  was  before.  There  is  a  solid  South  against  us. 
How  long  it  will  last  I  do  not  know,  but  understand 
this  is  the  situation  to-day,  and  that  the  South  ex- 
pect to  wield  the  sentiment  as  one  voice  in  the  ap- 
proarfiing  political  contest.  It  Is  important^  there- 
fore, that  tbe  North  should  stand  together ;  that 
you  should  stand  together  in  the  great  struggle, 
that  we  shall  not  lose  all  that  we  have  won.^We 
must  preserv'e  the  constitutional  amendments ; 
we  must  preserve  the  fruits  of  the  war  ;  all  our  in- 
terests, both  Democrats  and  Republicans,  are  allke^ 
If  the  people  of  the  Soutli  are  struKhng  for  tb^tf 
own  recuperation,  they  care  not  a  fig  v>t  the  De^ioc- 
racy  of  the  North.  Nothixig  has  happened  showing 
that  they  care  a  whit  for  them.  They  have  not  for- 
gotten that  the  Democracy  of  the  North  encouraged 
them  to  go  into  the  rebellion,  and  made  them  be- 
lieve they  wonld  not  permit  them  to  remain  In  the 
Union.  But  they  act  with  the  Democratic  Partv  of 
the  North,  bacause  they  have  an  object.  The 
people  of  the  Sooth  have  their  own  policy 
to  carry  out,  their  own  wrongs  to  redress,  their 
own  losses  to  pay  off.  And  they  want  to  make  the 
Northern  Democrat  and  Republican  pay  for  their 
losses,  and  If  we  have  to  pay  them  the  Northern 
Democrats  will  have  topay  their  share.  That  will 
be  some  consolation.  Tncie  South — we  have  forgiven 
them.  They  cost  half  a  million  of  lives 
and  six  thousand  millions  of  dollars  by  their 
crimes.  There  is  scarcely  a  family  in  all 
this  land  in  which  there  is  not  a  vacant  chair.  Bnt 
we  foreave  them  all  that.  All  we  ask  is  that  they 
shall  be  good  citizens.  We  claim  the  right  to  go 
there,  live  and  have  otir  own  opinions  and  access  to 
every  privilege  that  we  give  thorn  when  thpy  come 
^re.  With  that  we  will  be  satisfied,  and  with 
nothing  else.  

THE  FAMINE  IK  SOUTHERN  INDIA. 
The  London  Spectator  of  July  28  says  :  '*  Tho 
news  from  Soothem  India  is  of  the  glocuniest  char- 
acter. One  million  and  a  quarter  of  people  are  re- 
ceiving relief,  and  tho  mortolitv  has  risen  to  a  height 
which,  if  it  were  to  continue  for  1 2  months,  would 
sweep  Oie  whole  of  t^  refugees  away.  According  to 
the  TEm«'  correspondent,  everythhog  depended,  in 
Madras  and  Mysore,  on  iho  duratiou  of  the  rains  ; 
while  aecoztUng  to  a  telegrom^  of  July  22.  the  rains 
have  ^mofit  entirely  ceased,  and  tihe  calamity  of  a

declared  which  of  them  will  carry  hi4

and  Plqne  are  his  most  likely- representatives,  an^ 
the  former  is  tbe  one  backed  in  the  combtnationa. 
There  Is  also  a  likelihood  ot  his  starting  the  b.  f.

The  second  race  will  be  the  Summer  Hand4»p.  foi

the  result  of  the  sweepstakes  on  the  flnt  day  of  the

b.  g.  Vera  Crux,  3  years,  96  pounds.  This  promiaaa 
to  he  one  of  the  beet  contests  of  the  season.  It  is 
generally  conceded  that  the  race  lies  between  Parola 
and  Vera  Crux,  on  a  dry  track,  but  if  it  shoold  ba 
heavy.  Bushwhacker,  with  his  lijg^t  impost, 
will  be  deemed  a  dangeivius  competitor. 
There  is  a  considerable  diifereoce  of  opinion 
as  to  whether  Parole  can  carry  20  pounds  more  than 
Vera  Cruz,  although  a  year  older,  and  beat  him  over 
the  distance  and  this  can  onlv  be  decided  in  the 
struggle,  consequently  everybody  is  on  the  tip-toe  ot 
expectation.  The  fourth  raee  will  be  an  extra  handi. 
cap  of  one  mile  and  a  quarter,  for  which  them 
are  five  entries:  Bertram,  4  years.  111  poundx;

95  pounds  ;  Major  Barker,  3  years,  87  pounds,  and 
Cardinal  Wolsev,  3  years,  87  pounds.  The  sport  is 
to  conclude  witfi  a  free  handicap  steeple-chase  orer 
the  usual  course,  two  and  three-quarter  miles,  which, 
includes  a  field  of  gIx  cro6S.couutrv  horses,  ptuanis<

■       ADAlt,  Wbwu  *  Ctt     1877.  ^ 

A  good  deal  of  Mr.  Aldeu's  humor  accords 
Irith  the  definition  of  Kant — "  the  sudden  con- 
■Ywndon  Into  nothing  ^  a  long-ralaed  and  highly- 
Vrought  expectation.'^  All  of  It  yill  stand  the 
tost  of  Sidney  Smith's  requirement  of  "'wit 
'eombined  -with  sense  and  information,  softened 
itj  benevolence,  and  restrained  by  strong  prin- 
dple  ;  wit  in  the  hands  of  a  man  who  can  use 
It  and  despise  It,  who  can  ba  witty  and  some- 
times much  better  than  witty,  who  loves  honor, 
iusHce,  decency,  good-nature,  moralitr,  and 
Religion  ten  thousand  times  better  than  wit," 
and  with  whom,  therefore,  wit  is  a  means  to 
■ome  highly-desirable  ends.  Of  course,  laugh- 
ter is  an  end  of  itself,  and  no  despicable  one 
•Jther,  in  these  days  of  "  earnest "  politics,  dis-. 
aul  science,  and  bad  business.  But  Ur.  Al- 
dan's humor,  like  all  the  humor  which  the 
'World  recogni2es  as  genuine,  stimulates  the 
Intellect  wbUe  tickling  the  diaphragm.  It 
touches  the  springs  of  reflection  as  well  as 
those  of  mirth.  It  need  not  be  assumed  that 
Mr.  Alden  is  more  of  a  moralist,  a  political 
philosopher,  or  a  social  censor  than  a 
mere  humorist.  It  is  because  he  fills 
the  last  part  worthily  that  he  dis- 
charges the  others  with  manifest  success, 
though  perhaps  without  deliberate  thought  or 
Intention.  He  iufa  that  keen  perception  of 
■hams,  incongruity,  and  pretense  which  lays 
bare  the  inexhaustible  comedy  of  human  life, 
and  finds  the  droU  side  of  the  solemn  humbug 
Which  enters  so  largely  into  the  world's  wis- 
Aom.  His  humor  does  not  depend  for  Iti  effect 
on  fantastic  spelling  or  on  a  vulgar  fa  miliarity 
With  things  that  most  men  regard  as  sacred. 
He  chaffs  the  over-subtleties  of  science  with  the 
air  of  a  man  who  has  imbibed  more  geological, 
aitronomical.  and  biological  speculation  than  he 
was  able  to  digest,  and  he  mimics  the  absurdi- 
Mes  of  the  "one-ideaed"  social  reformer 
%ith  a  precision  of  nomenclature  which 
nggests  that  he  has  taken  the  trou- 
ble to  analyze  the  specifics  of  the 
enthusiast  or  the  quack  before  ridiculing  them. 
His  burlesque  of  scientific  terminology  is  as 
tonny  as  the  mellifluous  and  meaningless  word- 
kompounds  of  the  author  of  Alice  in  WontUr- 
tmd;  it  has  the  same  elusive  suggestiveness 
■nd  the  same  grotesqne  likeness  to  the  pon- 
derous originals.  For,  his  science  in  mas- 
jueradeia  that  of  a  scholarly  critic,  if  not  that 
Of  an  appreciative  student,  just  as  his  delicate 
qniaaing  of  the  tone  and  style  of  theological 
controversy  is  that  of  a  man  who  has  gone 
deeply  enough  into  the  subject  to  catch  the 
•plrit  of  the  warfare  'which  raged  over  the 
Gnostic  heresy,  and  just  as  his  thorough  and 
■ecurate  command  of  nautical  phraseology  be- 
speaks a  practical  familiarity  with  the  business 
«f  the  seaman.  He  has  a  mannerism  both  of 
■tyle  and  treatment  which  few  readers  of  The 

-  TuiBs  can  have  failed  to  recogni2e,  but  his 
varied  stores  of  information  and  the  univer- 
■ality  of  his  sympathies  prevent  him  from 
being  either  tedious  or  commonplace. 

The  present  volume  contains  about  120  con- 
tributions made  by  Sir.  Alden  to  the  columns  of 
The  TniES.  How  little  journalistic  work  there 
Is  which  could  stand  the  test  of  collection  and 
republication  as  these  papers  have  done !  Xo 
•ne  who  has  read  them  before  can  fail  to  find 
fresh  pleasure  in  reading  them  again,  and  to 
the  moat  critical  of  those  who  read  them  for 
the  flrat  time  they  will  convey  no  suggestion  of 
the  pressure  of  daily  work  under  which  they 
were  written,  and  of  the  depressing  lack  of  ap- 
propriate topics  over  which  their  author  has  had, 
like  all  the  workers  in  his  profession,  so  often 
to  triumph.  The  articles  called  forth  by  mar- 
velous items  of  current  news  like  the  Western 
meat-showers,  or  the  manifestations  of  modem 
Spiritualism,  are  as  happy  as  the' disquisitions 
•pon  things  in  general,  like  the  charming  essay 
on  "Pockets,"  the  lament,  almost  worthy  of 
Lamb,  over  "The  Decay  of  Burglary,"  or 
Uiose  most  characteristic  pieces  of  home- Sa- 
vored humor,  "The  Subtle  Taok-haromer," 
"Taming  the  Lamp-chimney,"  and  "The  Buzz- 
law."  We  suspect  that  a  good  many  of  Mr. 
JJden's   readers   will    be    puzzled    to    detect 

•  tte  difference  between  the  serio-comic  narra- 
tives which  have  a  substratum  of  fact  and 
those  which  are  pure  fiction.  It  was  only  the 
other  day  that  an  English  journal  gravely  re- 
produced his  account  of  "  Mrs.  Granger's  Eman- 
cipated Costume  " — chiefly_£Omposed  of  saw- 
dust— as  among  the  latest  of  the  curiosities  of 
American  life.  But  no  one  is  likely  to  mistake 
the  point  of  that  very  incisive  piece  of  satire, 
••  The  Spread  of  Eespectability,"  or  of  those 
lighter  thrusts  at  the  eccentricities  of  our  social 
lystem,  "  A  Natural  Want,"  "  Sosial  Bandits," 
and  "Food  and  Poison."  There  is  here  and 
there  in  the  book,  as  In  the  fivst-named  of  these 
four  papers,  a  trace  of  the  savage  irony  of 
Bwift,  bat  the  general  character  of  Mr.  Alden's 
linmor  is  more  akin  to  the  quaint  and  genial 
drollery  of  Elia,  reinforced  by  certain  character- 
istically American  qualities  of  dash,  daring,  and 
inventiveness.  In  addition  to  forming  a  valua- 
ble contribution  to  the  satirical  literature  of  our 
country,  these  essays  fulfill  the  very  desirable 
function  of  showing  that  there  may  be  a  type  of 
fun  distinctively  American  -without  the  aid  of  gro- 
tesque exaggeration  or  idiotic  spelling.  Between 
the  racy  and  natural  dialect  of  the  Bigtow 
PUptrt,  or  even  the  eccentric  orthography  of 
JirtOMua  Ward,  and  some  of  our  later  produc- 
tions of  a  presumably  hnmorouscharacter,  there 
Is  a,dreary  Interval,  cbiefiy  marked  by  succes- 
sive stages  of  degradation  and  decay.  We 
think  that  no  appreciative  admirer  of  ISi.  Alden 
-win  be  content  to  expect  anything  less  from 
Him  than  the  beginning  of  a  new  oyde  of  the 
literature  of  American  humor.  There  is 
enough  latent,  as  well  as  active,  force  mani- 
fested in  these  papers  to  warrant  us  in  looking, 
from  their  author,  for  some  work  which  shall 
■ecure  for  him  a  still  wider  public  and  a  more 
genets]  acknowledgement  of  the  quality  of 
gifts  which  are  as  raru  as  they  are  wisely  and 
tnteUigently  exercised.

Charlies  then  comes  in  and  admires  the  wfte,  who

her,  according  to  the  progranuue  pte'vaou3ly 
marked  out  by  the  host  and  hostess.  But  then 
comes  the  hitch  in  the  course  of  true  love.  Idna, 
tiie  besntifal  sister,  has  engaged  herseU!  to  a  rich 
and  ancient  swain  of  distinguished  appearance,

-Mr.  Jf>hn  H^bbeilton,  in  a  letter  to  the

— The  author  of  The  Four  Oirlt  at  Chautauqua,

their  home  life,  a^d  shows  how  they  attempted  to  re- 
duce their  new  experiences  to  practice.  It  is  a  Pres. 
byterian  religious  novel,  written  by  a  minister's  wife, 
living  In  one  of  the  far-inland  towns  of  this  Sute,

— ^The  treatise  on  Ethics  by  Edith  Sim- 
cox,  entitled  Natural  Law,  will  provoke  much 
critldsm  in  religions  circles.  Miss  Simcox  is  an 
"unattached"  moralist,  and  "looks  on  man  as 
only  the  chief  and  most  Intarestlng  among  the  many 
marvelous  products  of  natural  evolution."  "as  part 
of  the  natural  order  wherein  he  lives."  She  seeks  to 
rest  morality  upon  a  broader  basis  than  utilitarian- 
ism, upon  ,what  is  real  and  permanent  in  human 
nature.  The  work  Is  an  attempt  to  reconcile  the 
numeroos  conflicting  vie-Rrs  of  moral  science  put 
forth  by  modem  thinkers  -with  a  wider  interpretation 
of  natural  law  as  seen  In  society,  and  as  the  growth 
of  human  beliefs,  and  If  the  views  stated  do  not  meet 
with  general  acceptance,  they  are  certain  to  stimu- 
late thought.  It  is  a  remarkable  essay  under  any 
dxcumstances,  and  still  more  remarkable  from  the 
fact  that  a  Tfoman  -mote  it.  Miss  Simcox  has  writ- 
ten frequently  upon  social  and  moral  subjects  in  the 
Fortnightly  Serieu!  and  the  Academy,  but  this  Is  the 
most  considerable  work  she  has  published.

TWO  MFS  AND  A  BEAR. 
The  Charlottetown  (Prince  Edward's  Island) 
Herald  relates  the  following  "bear  story:"  "On 
Thursdayilast  ayoong  man  named  McDonald,  be* 
longing  to  Gay's  River,  had  a  narrow  escape  from  be. 
ing  devoured  by  a  bear  in  the  woods  near  his  home. 
He  was  walking  through  the  woods,  when  he  heard  a 
rustling  sound  behind  him.  Taming  around  he  saw 
a  large-sized  she  bear  coming  toward  him.  He  had 
just  time  to  spring  for  the  nearest  tree  and  cUmb  up 
It.  The  bear  sprang  at  him,  and  catching  one  of  his 
feet  with  her  paw.  tore  otT  the  shoe  and  stocking  and 
badly  lacerated  the  flesh.  McDonald  managed  to  crawl 
out  on  a  limb,  wliither  the  bear  atteuipt«d  to  follow, 
but  thelirab  was  too  narrow.-  Foiled  of  its  prey,  the 
bear  tore  savagely  at  the  bark  on  tho  linib,  while 
McDonald,  holding  on  by  his  hands,  screamed  lustily 
for  help.    A  man  near  by,    hearing  his   cries,    ap- 

£rofiched  just  as  the  bear  dropped  from  the  tree, 
[c  Donald  called  out  to  the  new-comer  to  look  out 
fur  the  bear,  and  at  that  moment  the  savage  animal 
mshe<l  at  the  man.  who  nimbly  climbed  Into  the 
same  tree,  followed  by  the  bear.  The  new  comer's 
oulr  safety  was  to  get  out  on  the  same  limb  as 
McDonald,  and  the  bear,  too,  crawled  ont.  Under 
the  weight  the  limb  broke,  and  bear  and  men  fell  a 
distance  of  some  20  feet.  Fortunately,  the  bear  was 
stunned  by  the  fall,  and  the  men.  though  badly 
shaken,  were  able  to  get  away.  Obtaining  arms, 
.Which  they  were  entirely  without,  they  returned  to 
the  place,  but  the  bear  coaM  not  be  fomid." 

TBBEARLY  ADAMSES  ASOFFIOE-BOLDBRS. 
The  Boston  Olobeat  Tuesday  says  :  "  It  seems 
that  the  Adams  family  have  al-ways  been  distinguished 
for  their  ability  in  holding  ofBce.  The  andent 
records  of  the  Town  of  Braintree,  Mass.,  show  that 
Deacon  John  Adams,  the  father  of  John  Adams,  the 
second  Freaident  of  the  United  States,  was  in  1722 
made  Sealer  of  Leather  of  the  Town  of  Braintree  ; 
and  the  records  further  show  that  he  was  ■  eminently 
suited  for  his  duties,  beii^  by  occupation  a  cord- 
wainer,'  or  shoemaker,  in  1724  he  was  one  of 
the  tytbing  men^  hi  1727  he  was  chosen  con. 
stablft  Later  on  in  life  he  was  made 
Selectman,  and  hold  the  place  for  several  yeoi-s. 
These  interesting  facts  are  from  on  address  made  by 
Hon.  F.  A.  Holjart,  of  Braintree,  at  the  centennial 
celebration  of  that  town,  in  which  he  traced  the  bis. 
tory  of  Braintree  and  her  citizens  in  an  exoeedingly 
interesting  and  thorou^  manner.  From  that  time 
to  the  present  the  deacendents  of  John  Adams  have 
held  oSce  -with  more  or  lets  regnlaritv.  Veiy  few  of 
the  common  people  are  aware,  probably,  that  the 
members  of  this  iUastrions  family  daaoendad  from  a 
shoemaker,  or  that  they  began  oSoe-holding  so  tar 
back  in  the  history  af  the  montty  and  tha  Uatorr  of 
thafanar."

■WIDO-W  OF  THE  DECEASED — ^A  tJUESTION- 

ABLE  BILL  OF  SAlis. 

Surrogate  Calvin  yesterday  entered  a  decision 

la  the  case  of  the  applicatJOQ  of  Faimy  Dougherty,  a 

creditor  of  the  late  Randolph  A.  Witthans,  a  wealthy 

merchant,  who  died  Intestate,  for  letters  of  adminis- 

tiation.    The  applicatiop  was  made  by  the  applicant 

because  of  the  tidliue  of  the  widow  of  the  deceased 

to  apply.    In  her  applicatibn  the  creditor  placed  the 

deceased's  personality  at  ^50,000,  to  which  sum  the 

widow,  Marie  Witthans,  objected,  daiming  that  it 

was  only  ^1,000.    The  creditor  in  turn  objected  and 

carried  the  matter  before  a  Referee.  In  the  examina- 

tion  by  the  latter,  Mrs.  Witthans  testified  that  the 

residenoe  of  the  deceased  was  sold  last  year  for  a 

debt  due  to  the ;  deceased's  son,  Dr.  'Witthans,  on  a 

billofsale.     'I,       j      ,'i, 

Dr.  'Witthans  testlfled '  ibat  he  had  paid  for  oU  the 
furniture  and  the  works  of  art  in  his  father's  resi. 
dence  to  the  amount  of  924,000,  and  that  he  owed 
the  deceased  nothing  at  the  time  of  bis  death.  He 
further  testified  that  tho  amount  was  poid  byre. 
leasing  his  rather  from  a  debt  of  the  same  amount 
representing  the  interest  on  $60,000  from  Aug.  30. 
1871.  This  $G0.000  wosto  bo  paid  for  the  surrender 
of  an  agreement  between  the  deceased  and  himself, 
according  to  the  terms  of  which  deceased  was  to  be 
indebted  to  witness  for  $60,000  from  April,  1867, 
the  agreement  setting  forth  that  the  -witness  should 
aid  the  deceased  in  the  management  of  the  letter's 
real  estate  as  long  as  he  might  desire.  This  aid  the 
witness  sold  he  had  given  iu  the  Fall  of  1867  and 
Spring  of  1872,  but  the  deceased  had  never  paid  any 
money  on  account  of  the  agreement,  nor  had  he 
overpaid  anything  on  the  S60,000  until  Septem. 
her,  1876. 

liie  Surrogate,  in  hit  decision,  savs  that  a  serious 
question  ipay  arise  as  to  the  bona  fides  and  validity 
of  the  bill  of  sal^in  question,  andhe  regardsit.  on  tiie 
evidence  adduced  before  the  Iteferee,  to  be  the  duty 
of  the  representative  of  the  estate  when  appointed 
in  the  interest  of  the  creditors,  to  test  the  validity 
of  that  bill  of  tale  for  an  explanation  of  the  trans, 
action  In  connection  with  it,  and  also  of  the  alleged 
consideration,  astbe  trans^rwas  very  onsaxisfoctory 
and  suspicious.  The  sect  rity  to  be  given  by  the 
Administrator,  should  letters  lesue.  he  decides  shonld 
be  $25,000,  enough  to  covler  the  $24,000  as  a  pos- 
sible asset  belonging  to  the  estate  in  case  it  should 
be  adjudged  soch-

Van  Brunt  yesterday  set  the  case  down  to  be  heard 
on  the  15th  inst.

unstamped  packages  of  Scotch  snuff  in  exchange  for 
some  real  estate,  and  who  proved  that  he  had  done 
so  innocently.  The  Commissioner  held  that  the  law 
under  which  the  prisoner  had  been  arrested  was 
mandatory,  and  accordingly  released  Driscoll  on  his 
ewn  recogniiax^  to  await  the  action  of  the  Grand 
Jury.  i!  '  :i|

thony Deutscb,  in  the  Fc  urth  District  Civil  Court, 
Mr.  Botty.  counsel  for  the  defendant,  was  committed

yesterday,  before  Jud^e  Liarremore.  in  Common 
fHeas,  Chambers,  to  compel  Judge  Dinkel  to  file  a  re-

dles containing  100  packsges  of  cigarettes  from  the 
ship.  Mr.  Palmer,  the  Custom-house  employe,  who 
the  prisoner  Stated  had  given  him  permission  to  take 
the  cigarettes  ashore,  testified  that  he  had  given 
Mullen  permission  to  take  a  single  small  bundle  only. 
He  could  not  say.  however,  that  he  had  any  right  to 
give  the  permission,  although  it  was  somethine  fre- 
quently done.  Mullen  was  then  held  to  awut  the 
action  of  the  Grand  Jury. 

Charles  Marge  sky  was  yesterday  accused  be- 
fore the  Court  of  Special  Sessions,  by  bis  wife  Julio, 
with  assaulting  her.  Lucy  Adams  swore  that  the 
husband  struck  the  wife,  called  her  vile  iLames.  and 
that  the  couple  always  lived  unhappily  together. 
Charles,  on  being  asked  what  he  had  to  say  for  iiim- 
self.  replied-:  **  Shudge,  I'm  a  man,  you  see.  got 
eleven  shirts,  and  ven  I  come  home  after  dending  bar

which  opened  all  the  locks  of  the  store.  The 
intruder  had  packed  up  a  large  qnuttlty  of  ehoie* 
goodo,  which  he  evidently  intended  removing  after 
dark.  After  the  arrest  of  "  French  Louis ''^It  was 
found  that  he  had  visited  the  store  of  Scott  Brothers 
•ad  stolen  goods  on  two  previous  occasions,  and 
had  also  entered  the  store  of  Wilmerdlng  A  Co.,  No. 
56  Leonard-street.  He  rarely,  If  ever,  entered  prem- 
ises by  breaking  them  open,  his  plan  being  to  vlfit  the 
store*  which  he  intended  Tobbtnc,  taking  impreecionji 
of  the  keys  and  making  dnpIicaCes.  On  being  called 
up  for  trial  by  Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring. 
"  French  Louis"  pleaded  gttilty  to  buiglary  in  the 
third  d^ree.  and  begged  for  clMnency  on  the  ground 
of  ill-health.  Judge  Sutherluid  sentenced  him  to 
three  years  and  three  months  in  State  Prison. 


TSE  LIBELING  OF  THE  BABK  NEWTORK. 
In  the  United  States  District  Court  yesterday. 
Judge  Blatchf  ord  rendered  a  decision  in  tha  case  of 
the  recent  libeling  of  the  bark  New- York  for  demar- 
rage  and  freight  money.  This  vessel  was  chartered 
on  Nov.  3,  1871,  by  the  Pensacola  Lumber  Com- 
pany to  take  a  cargo  of  lumber  from  Escambia  Bay 
to  New-York  at  the  rate  of  $12  per  1.000  feet,  the 
vass^  to  be  loaded  wiOi  a  full  cargo  at  the  rate  of  X5,- 
000  feet  per  working-day.  The  company  was  further 
to  pay  10  cents  demurrage  per  ton  a  day  for  every 
day  she  was  detained  beyond  a  certain  time.  She 
was  detained  10  days,  the  freight  money  upon  the 
delivery  of  her  c&rgo  In  New-York  amounting  to 
$2,920  60.  A  demurrage  of  $463  10  was  chiimed 
for  the  delav,  but  the  company  refused  to  pay  more 
than  $2,5O0  for  both  freight  and  demurrage,  at  the 
some  time  setting  up  a  counterclaim  for  $1,440  for 
80, 000  feet  of  lumber  delivered  to  the  bark,  but 
which  was  lost  during  heavy  weather,  for  which,  by 
her  charter,  the  bark  was  responsible.  Judge 
Blatchford  allows  $336  demurrage  for  drlay  in  load- 
ing tbe  vessel,  and  orders  a  decree  for  the  balance  of 
the  charter  money  for  freight,  $420  60,  with  inter- 
est from  Feb.  23,  1872. 


ASSAVLTINO  BIS  STEPDA^isTBR. 
Joseph  Monoh an,  aged  34,  of  No.  511  West 
Thirty-eighth-street,  yesterday  morning  attempted 
to  beat  his  wife,  when  his  step-daughter,  Mary 
Leahey,  interfered  and  prevented  him.  Thereupon 
he  turned  on  the  young  giri  and  assaulted  her,  knock- 
ing her  down,  beating  her.  kicking  her,  and  stabbing 
her  with  a  knife  tn  the  neck.  OfUcw  Dooohue,  of 
the  Twentieth  Precinct,  heard  the  girl's  screams,  and 
come  in  just  in  time,  perhaps,  to  save  her  life.  The 
officer  took  Monohan  into  custody  and  brought  him 
before  Justice  Wandell.  during  the  morning  session 
of  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court,  who  coouaitted 
him  for  trial  in  default  of  $300  bail

THE  ItVSKJAN  GRAIN  TRA-TtE. 
The  Gazette  de  ^St.  Petersburg  gives  the  follow- 
ing details  of  the  conference  lately  t^tmunoued  by  the 
Russian  ijovcmment  furthe  purpose  of  considering — 
first  the  quantity  of  cereals  which  Russia  on  an  aver- 
age year  would  be  able  to  export ;  second,  the  mode 
in  which  that  export  could  be  effected  now  tliat  the 
southern  ports  have  been  blockaded,  and  also  in  the 
event  of  the  blockade  extending  to  all  the  ports  of 
tbe  Empire.  The  conference  was  ationded  by  dele- 
gates from  the  chief  railwav  companies,  assisted  by 
[►ersons  intimately  connected  with  the  groin  trade, 
and  from  the  proceedings  it  appears  that  the  average 
export  of  grain  has  risen  within  the  past  three  vears 
to  about  143.000,000  .bushels.  The  shipments 
from  the  Black  Sea  and  the  Sea  of  Azof. 
with  thp  exception  of  the  i>orts  of 
Kertch.  and  Eish,  amount  on  an  average  to  about 
62.0tK), 000  bushels;  and  as  tliis  year  only  12.000.- 
000  were  exported,  it  is  calculated  that  about  50.- 
OOO.tKK)  bnsliels  remain  in  the  southern  provinces, 
to  be  transported  by  rail  either  to  the  northern  ports 
or  to  frontier  towns.  The  capacity  of  the  railway 
system  to  overtake,  this  increased  traffic  was  the 
subject  of  much  consideration  by  the  conference, 
and  ultimately  a  table  waa  drawn  up  showing  the 
numbers  of  trains  which  would  require  to  be  dis- 
patched daily  on  each  of  tbe  Hues,  so  as  to  meet  the 
demands  for  transport.  From  this  it  appears  that  if 
the  export  is  not  to  be  delayed,  the  number  of  trains 
per  dav  on  the  principal  lines  must  be  increased 
from  about  130  to  190,  and  it  remauis  to  be  seen 
whether,  when  the  resources  of  the  companies  are  so 
greatly  taxed  by  the  war  traffic,  so  much  additional 
work  can  be  got  through. 

TAXING  PRIVATE  LIBRARIES. 
The  Columbus  .ffngwirer  says  that  "  Rev.  Dr. 
W-  P.  Harrison  has  writen  a  letter  to  Hon.  W.  M. 
Reese,  Chairman  of  the  Georgia  Senate  Committee 
on  Finance,  in  which  he  complains  that  the  General 
Assembly  has  ordered  a  tax  to  be  levied  on  books  In 
private  libraries,  and  this  is  the  first  instance  within 
his  experience  of  an  attempt  to  levv  a  tax  on  knowl- 
edge. He  saj-3  that  in  the  course  ol:  27  vears  he  has 
collected  a  libraiy  of  4,000  volumes,  which  cost  him 
over  $11,000.  Many  of  the  books  are  valuable  on 
account  of  their  rarity.  Perhaps  two-thirds  of  them 
can  only  be  obtained  by  patient  search  from  year  to 
year  in  the  markets  of  Europe.  He  has  some  books 
over  400  years  old.  For  one  series  he  had  an 
order  in  I/ondon  which  required  seven  years 
to  fill,  and  another  is  now  outstanding  for  more  thau 
10  years.  He  asks  how  he  can  tell  the  market  value 
of  these  old  tomes,  as  tho  law  requires  the  tax- 
payer to  do  with  other  property.  "What  is  the 
market  value  of  on  idea  i  '  Has  the  Legislature  de- 
vised an  ideameter  for  the  public  and  private  use  of 
the  tax-payers  ? '  he  ask-s.  '  If, '  he  odds,  '  I  return 
them  at  their  real  value.  I  must  assess  myself  the 
sum  of  $247  50  per  annum  for  the  State',  county 
and  city  tax,  which  in  my  case  amounts  to  a  fine,  a 
penaltv  imposed  upon  me  by  my  State  for  indulging 
m- the  luxury  of  a  well-selected  library.'  He  states 
that  a  tax  on  private  libraries  is  a  crusade  against 
literature  and  that  the  Congress  of  the  Unitea 
States  admits  duly  free  all  books  over  20  years  old." 

SALE  OF  AUTOGRAPHS  AND  RELICS. 
The  London  Figaro  of  'July  28,  says:  *'  An 
interesting  collection  of  autograph  letters  and  origi- 
nal manuscripts  was  recently  sold  by  auction  by 
Messrs.  Puttick  &  Simpson,  at  their  gallery.  Leices- 
t-er-square.  Tho  principal  specimens  realized  high 
prices,  the  net  product  of  the  sale  of  *2'J0  lots  being 
i:S03  9s.  The  best  prices  were  obtained  for  some 
examples  of  the  poet  Shelley's  correspondence  and 
autogr^h  poems.  A  letter.  In  which  he  refers  to 
Byron,  Wordswortli.  Leigh  Hunt,  and  Southoy. 
and  also  to  a  personal  attack  upon  his  ch.iracter 
by  the  latter,  was  knocked  down  for  Je43. 
Several  of  Charles  Lamb's  letters  were  snb- 
mitted,  and  realized  on  an  avera^  about  £3  lOs. 
each.  A  letter  written  by  tbe  Prime  Minister,  ap- 
parently to  his  printer,  in  1S28.  wasbidfornp  to  £4, 
and  a  letter  addressed  to  the  editor  of  aLondon  paper 
by  Napoleon  III.,  when  in  exile,  fetched,  together 
with  its  frame,  SOs.  A  good  deal  of  Interest  was  ex- 
cited by  the  production  of  a  lock  of  Charles  l.'s  hair 
and  a  portion  of  his  beard,  taken,  it  was  8t&t«d.  when 
the  coffin  was  opened  by  order  of  the  Princ«  Recent, 
in  1813,  and  the  trophy  was  ultimately  knocked 
down  at  the  flguru  of  £7  lOs.  Another  novelty  in 
its  way  was  a  donimeut  siffned  by  Thoaios  Dog^ett, 
of  '  Coat  and  Badge '  celebrity,  witli  the  rare  signa- 
ture of  *Joe  Miller  attached  to  the  same  as  a  witness ; 
the  lot  realized,  however,  only  35s." 

NORTHERN   AID  TO    SOUTHERN   SCHOOLS. 

The  KnoinUoJTenn.)  Chronicle  says  :  **A 
very  large  prt>portlon  of  the  money  spent  in  the 
South  since  tbe  late  war  for  educational  purposes  has 
been  obtained  from  the  GoyemmLent  and  citizens  of 
the  Northern  States.  The  disbursements  in  Ten- 
nessee from  that  source  have  reached  millions.  The 
splendid  Vonderbilt  University  has  received  a  mil- 
lion. East  Tennessee  University  has  received  nearly 
$400,000  from  the  Government.  The  University  of 
the  Sontii.  at  Sewauee.  has  received  substantial  aid. 
Rogersvillo  Female  CoUejce  was  saved  from  bank- 
ruptcy by  Yankee  liberality.  MaryvlUe  College  has 
received  thousands.  The  Wesleyan  College,  at 
Athens,  has  lived  through  the  Ubeiility  of  Northern 
men  imd  women,  and  u  now  In  a  very  prosperous 
condition.  Besides  these,  thousands  have  been  spent 
for  colored  BCfaools  and  colleges.  Add  to  this  the 
thousands  of  children  who  have  enjoyed  the  benefits 
of  a  primary  education  tiirough  the  princely  benevo- 
lence of  Mr.  Peaoody.  And  yet,  a^«r  receiving  fdl 
these  favors,  we  see  in  South  Carolina,  and  Teuues- 
see  as  welt  a  narrow  and  most  unnatural  prejudice 
against  Northern  teacheta." 

LYNN'S  8B0S  BUSINESS, 
Speaking  of    Lynn's  Summer  bnajnesa,   the 
Bocton  Camnunial  BaBetin  says :    "  Hovavw  zonch 
mar  btaidd  about  tha  shoe  haslAiM  bedaff  dvU  or  de- 


pressed, the  fact  remahu,  neresthelett,  tha^  I^iu 
has  during  the  past  three  months  ahipped  mo»  goods 
than  last  year  in  the  eozrasponding  time.  Hia  ahip- 
ments  in  Mmj,  June,  and  July  of  1876  aggregate' 
37,641  cases,  against  39.042  eases  the  present  year, 
a  p*n  of  1,401  cases.  Mannfoctuzers  may  eom- 
plidn  of  small  margins  and  that  there  u  *ao 
money  in  the  buslneas,'  4tc,  bo^  tbe  fact 
is  more  shoes  are  being  made  and  goiqig  into 
consumption  tliis  year  than  last  at  the  time  time. 
The  Fall  tmde  began  uuu8u«.lly  early  iu  the  year, 
and  at  present  nearly  all  the  manufacturers  are  at 
work,  with  but  little  shoe  machinery  and  few  work- 
men idle.  At  present  Lynn  manufacturers  are  mak- 
ing about  one-quarter  of  all  the  sewed  work  In  the 
United  States,  and  Lynn  ranks  as  the  fifth  city  in 
llassachu-setts  in  the  amount  of  its  productions  of 
all  kinds  of  goods,  turning  out  two^  thirds  as  mn^  as 
Lowell,  and  nearly  as  much  as  Tail  River,  amount- 
ing to  about  $21,000,000  annuatlv.  There  are 
nearly  200  montifacturers,  including  KTeat  and 
small,  who  employ  on  an  average  about  7,000  hands 
in  all  the  different  departments,  at  an  <mn^7>1  cost 
of  from  $5,000,000  to  $6,000,000  for  labor. 
Last  Spring  the  volume  of  trade  was  fully  up  to 
the  aggregate  of  several  preceding  yesEra,  and,  with 
few  exceptions,  there  is  a  hopeful  feeling  and  general 
satisfaction  with  the  condition  of  the  shoe  trade  un- 
der the  circumstances.  There  have  been  no  labor 
troubles  of  any  account  for  a  long  time,  the  Criipins 
and  manufacturers  having  arrived  at  a  satisfactory 
solution  of  once  existing  troubles,  and.  to  all  outward 
appearance,  i>erfect  harmony  now  exists.  The  work- 
men understand  the  situation,  and  are  contented.  In 
the  line  of  'leather  small  wares.'  ^iz.,  soles,  stiffen- 
ings.  counters,  laet.s,  patterns,  &c-.  with  the 
great  morocco  and  leather  interesto,  there  is  the  usual 
amount  doing,  and  though  the  cry  is  *  business  is 
dull,'  'nothing  doing.' the  facts  do  not  warrant  the 
statements,  especially  tho  last,  when  a  manufacturer 
shows  you  over  his  factory  and  tells  you  be  is  em- 
ploying 200  hands,  and  sdll  tells  you  he  is  '  doing 
nothing. ' "

The  Signal  Service  reports  indicate  for  to- 
fiay  in  the  Middle  States  and  yew-England, 
yisin^  barometer,  cooler  north-east  to  north- 
■vest  icindii,  and  clear  or  partly  cloudy  weather, 
except poKxibhj  warmer  south-cast  wiitds  in  a 
portion  of  the  Middle  Atlantic  States. 


The  "War  Department  is  surprised  at  tlie 
V-laim  presented  by  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Kailroad  Company  for  transportation  of 
Pederal  troops  from  Washington  to  various 
threatened  points  along  their  line.  The 
TiVar  Department  evidently  fails  to  appre- 
ciate the  logic  of  the  situation.  The  Balti- 
more and  Ohio  Kailroad,  like  any  other 
corporation,  is  entitled  to  have  its  prop- 
erty and  its  business  protected  by  State 
or  local  authorities  against  destructive  at- 
tack. But  in  Maryland  and  "West  Virginia 
"both  local  and  Stat«  authorities  confessed 
their  inability  to  enforce  the  laws  against 
the  assailants  of  the  corporation,  and  ap- 
pealed to  the  Federal  Government  for  aid. 
UTiis  was  given,  simply  becausCi  there  was 
"no  other  power  to  enforce  law  and  order  in 
these  States,  and  because  in  such  a  case 
the  Federal  arm  is  the  last  bulwark  of  so- 
cial security.  The  railroad  company  has 
the  right,  which  it  will  doubtless  exercise, 
to  compel  the  county  or  State  Treasuries  to 
make  good  the  property  destroyed  by 
■rioters,  and  it  has  an  eqiial  right  to 
charge  the  Federal  Government  for  the 
conveyance  of  troops  which,  though  nomi- 
nally engaged  in  the  service  of  the  railroad, 
"Were  really  engaged  in  the  service  of  the 
fitate.  It  is  probable  that  whenif;he  matter

'  F.  "W.  M.  HoLLiDAY  was  nominated  for 
viovemor  by  the  Virginia  Democrats,  yes- 
terday, after  a  prolonged  and,  bitter  con- 
test. The  withdrawal  of  Mahone  brought 
about  this  conclusion,  as  :  Mahone's 
strength  chiefly  went  to  the  siieeessfal 
can('ddate.  Hoixiday  is  an  ex-Confeder- 
ate ,  Colonel,  and  was  urged  in  the 
corrvention  as  a  representative  Of  the  Shen- 
andoah Valley ;  he  is  a  resident  of  Winches- 
tear.  He  has  been  accused  of  being  in  a 
cabal  to  destroy  Daniel,  and  he  undoubted- 
ly owes  his  nomination  to  the  strength  of 
|t'ne  anti-Daniel  feeling  which  gathered  dur- 
^gthe  convention.  Holliday  was  third 
in  every  ballot  except  that  which  gave  him 
Ills  nouiination. 


A,series  of  reports  has  been  made  public 
by  the  Treasury  Department  relating  to  the 
operation  of  its  regulations  as  to  the  draw- 
back on  refined  sugar.  From  these  it  has 
lor  some  time  been  suspected  that  the 
Government  was  losing  revenue — i.  e., 
Hhat  the  drawback  allowed  was  in 
excess  of  the  duty  originally  received 
on  the  raw  material.  The  tenor  of 
the  conclusions  of  the  various  "committees 
appeaors  to  be  against  this  view  of  the  mat- 
ter. The  Boston  committee,  however, 
point  out  some  important  effects  of  the  pres- 
ent provisions  of  law  upon  the  sugar  trade 
aa;well  as  upon  the  revenue,  and  indicate 
one  of  the  most  serioi^s  difficulties  in  the 
administration  of  the  law  as  it  stands,  viz  : 
the  introduction  of  sugar  artificially  col- 
ored to  make  it  pass  as  of  a 
lowergrade  than  it  actually  is.  The  com- 
mittee recommend  thetotal  abandonment 
of  tbe  Dutch  Standard,  and  the  imposition 
of  ib  uniform  rate  of  duty  upon  refined  and 
of  another  ui>on  raw  sugars.  This  is  a  plan 
which  has  many  advocates  among  mer- 
cb.ants,  and  which  would  secure  some  de- 
cided ad-rantages — among  others,  a  nm- 
f  orm  tax  at  all  porta,  which  isnowpraotical- 
\y  unattadnable.

There  was  evidently  some  mistake 
the  rumor  that  Mr.   Tilden  had 
Europe   in  the   interest  of   the 
Elevated  Railway.     Senator  CoNKLfN

After  the    eloquent    expostulation 
Senator,  addressed  to  an  admiring

SOU'^HERS  CREDIT. 

Whether  Virginia  commit  itself  directly 
to  a  forced  readjustment  that  woul  1  be  tan- 
tamount to  repudiation  or  not,  tie  exist- 
ence of  V  powerful  element  f  avora  )le  to  re- 
pudiation cannotj  be  questioned,  "he  more 
Mahone's  enemies  succeed  in  bl  tokening 
his  character  an4  the  characters  of  his  most 
active  supporters  in  the  State  Convention, 
the  more  damaging  is  the  conclusion  sug- 
gested by  his  strength  among  the  delegates. 
If  the  man  is  obnoxious  and  the  manner  in 
which  he  conducted  his  prelimin  iry  can- 
vass HainngiT^g  to  himself  and  hii  friends, 
we  can  only  assume  that  he  owes  h  is  admit 
ted  influence  to  the  position  he  has  taken  in 
regard  to  the  State  debt.     Other  ca  udidates 

Mahone 

was  neither. .  He  holds  that  the  S  ate  can- 
not pay  the  interest  or  principal  of  its  debt 
without  imposing  heavier  taxes  t  iian  the 
people  can  or  wiU  pay — and  he  6  lid  so  in 
terms  that  could  not  be  mistal  en.  He 
maintains  that  as  between  the  6  tate  and 
its  creditors  there  can  be  no  cho  ce — that 
the  latter  must  submit  to  any  t<  rms  the 
State  chooses  to  dictate  or  lose  every- 
thing ;  and  he  so  declared  wii  h  great 
emphasis.  He  insists  that,  '  rith  or 
without  the  consent  of  the  credi  ors,  the 
State  debt  shall  be  "scaled "  a  secc  ud  time, 
and  he  staked  his  candidature  u  )on  this 
proposition.  Here,  then,  is  the  so  e  source 
of  Mahone's  popularity.  He  is  not  absolute 
master  of  the  situation,  as  the  lalloting 
proved ;  but  it  also  proved  tha  on  his 
actual  merits,  no  candidate  had  gi  aater  in- 
dividual strength,  that  the  coaliti,  n  which 
defeated  him  wjas  governed  mort  by  per- 
sonal animosityl  than  by  hostility  to  the 
measure  with  which  he  is  identif  od,  and 
that  his  supporters  dictated,  at  the '.  ist,  who 
should  be  the  nominee  of  the  Conv  ntion. 

It  cannot  reasonably  be  pretendec  that  the 
convention,  oreven  a  majority  of  its  e  embers, 
are  sincerely  desirous  of  fulfilling  h  )norably 
the  financial  obligations  of  the  State,  The  As- 
sociated Press  report  of  the  prooec  lings  on 
Thursday,  speaking  of  the  receptioi  of  reso- 
lutions relating  to  the  public  debt,  at  ites  that 
though  a  majority  of  the  resolutions  f&vored 
payment,  "  every  proposition  looki  ig  to  in- 
creased taxation  was  received  wi  h  hisses 
from  all  parts  of  the  house."  Wh  it  could 
be  more  suggestive  f  Mahone's  oi  tspoken 
repudiation  is  put  into  the  backgro  md,  and 
a  hollow  semblance  of  good  faith  takes  its 
place.  Nothing  worth  having  is  g  lined  by 
the  movement.  The  blunt  repud  ator  we 
can  understand.  The .  treacherou  i  policy 
which  affects  a  regard  for  the  mail  tenance 
of  the  State's  credit,  but  at  the  ss  me  time 
time  rejects  the  only  means  by  wl  ich  that 
credit  can  be  maintained,  is  infinit  sly  more 
contemptible.  People  who  are  hor  estly  in- 
tent upon  paying  their  debts  are  not  un- 
willing to  make  Sacrifices.  The  fac  t  that  in 
an  assembly  representing  all  pari  s  of  the 
State  a  proposal  to  impose  taxes  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  State's  debts  is  rece  ved,  all 
round,  with  Kisses,  is  the  best  con:  mentary 
nx>On  the  financial  morality  t3at  prevails 
among  the  people. 

Virginia  does  but  adopt  in  this  p  irticular 
a  favorite  Southern  method  of  ace  >mpUsh- 
ing  a  digraceful  ^purpose  in  an  indirect 
way.  The  spirit  that  prevails  in  Ti  ^nnessee 
is  contagions.  There,  as  in  Virgin  ia,  there 
are  bold  repudiators,  who  having  di  iven  the 
State  creditors  into  a  comer  by  i  he  non- 
payment of  interest,  tell  them  pla  nly  that 
they  must  forfeit  50  or  60  percent  of  their 
claims  or  be  left  to  their  fate.  Th  ere,  too, 
as  in  "Vii^nia,  thare  are  tricksters  a  id  hypo- 
crites, who  proiess  to  deprecate  repudia- 
tion, but  so  cut  down  the  taxatic  u  as  to 
make  that  result  inevitable.  Of  die  two 
nlflgnnn  of  knaves  ve  nre&r  the  Uai  longiteg. 


who  at  any  rate  do  not  pretend  to  be  more 
honest  than  they  ate. . 

The  Georgia  Constitutional  Convention 
has  thrown  its  influence  into  the  scale  of 
repudiation  by  declaring  certain  issues  of 
bonds  illegal,  and  forbidding,  not  only 'their, 
payment,  bat  any  admission  of  their  holders' 
claims  to  the  courts.  The  convention  does 
but  carry  out  the  recorded  will  of  the  people, 
as  expressed  recently  at  the  polls.  Its  ac- 
tion shows,  however,  that  a  thoroughly  rep^ 
resentative  body — a  body  inoluding  all  the 
principal  men  of  the  State — sustains,  almost 
as  a^unit,  the  infamous  decision  of  the 
voters.  The  bonds  are  as  valid,  according 
to  equity  anil^^e  letter  of  the  law,  as  most 
of  the  bonds  that  are  still  recognized  ;  the 
proceeds  of  their  negotiation  were  expended 
in  works  from  which,  to-day,  the  State  and 
its  people  derive  profit ;  but  they  are  never- 
theless repudiated,  and  the  victimized 
owners  a^e  denied  the  poor  satisfaction  *of 
establishing  their  claims.  All  sorts  of 
trumpery  excuses  have  been  put  forward  in 
justification  of  a  proceeding  which  stamps 
Georgia  with  financial  infamy.  Mr.  Toombs 
will  have  none  of  these  excuses.  He  de- 
clares that  the  bonds  are  rejected  because 
they  Were  issued  during  the  reconstruction 
era,  when  Bepublicans  ruled  ;  and  ToouBS, 
with  all  his  faults,  tells  the  truth.  His  ver- 
sion of  the  case  will  not  help  Southern 
credit. 


.-CURRENCY  MOVEMENTS. 

The  act  of  June  20,  1874,  gave  the  na- 
tional banks  permission  to  deposit  bonds 
and  withdraw  circulation ;  the  act  of  Jan, 
14,  1875,  known  as  the  Resumption  act, 
removed  all  restrictions  upon  the  maximum 
of  bank  circulation,  and  provided  that,  until 
the  legal  tenders  became  reduced  to  $300,- 
000,000,  $80  of  them  should  be  with- 
drawn and  canceledfor  every  $100  of  addi- 
tional bank-note  circulation  issued.  The 
unlimited  permission  to  siirrender  notes  has 
now  been  in  force  three  years  and  a  month, 
and  the  unlimited  permission  to  emit  new 
notes  has  been  in  force  two  years  and  seven 
months.  The  following  is  a  comijlete  state-

We  have  made  this  minute  review  and 
these  comparisons,  thinking  it  well  to  have 
a  complete  record  at  the  present  time.  To 
explain  again  the  simple  reasons  for  this 
voluntary  contraction  at  the  rate  of  nearly 
$20,000,000  a  year  is  surely  unnecessary. 
A  contraction  of  nearly  $23,000,000  in 
the  legal  tenders,  in  the  opinion  of  Mr. 
Henry  C'AEEr  B.ubd,  is  a  dreadful  thing, 
and  was  the  cause  of  railroad  extension 
that  iwas  effected  before  the  contraction  be- 
gan ;  but,  in  place  of  this,  $22,905,780 
retired  under  the  act  of  Jan.  14,  1875, 
$28,632,225  of  bank  notes  were  emitted, 
and  yet  the  voluntary  contracting  forces 
were  so  strong  that  during  the  whole  term 
$34,^57,344  more  notes  came  in  than 
went  out.  It  is  evident  from  the  last  pre- 
ceding table  that  there  has  been  an  exces- 
sive supply  of  currency,  even  in  the  infla- 
tionist States  of  the  West;  and  yet  the 
genuine  inflationist  will  continue  to  abuse 
the  banks  and  to  be  in  love  with  the  green- 
back because  it  is  not  subject  to  contrac- 
tion like  the  bank  note,  but  once  out,  stays 
out,  except  when  taxes  bring  it  in. 


COMIC  POLITICS  IN  FRANCE. 

The  Marshal-President  of  France  is  un- 
doubtedly a  gallant  gentleman  and  a  brave 
soldier.  ■  But  if  he  is  responsible  for  the  re- 
cent arbitrarj-  acts  of  his  Government,  he  is 
in  a  fair  way  to  deserve  the  epithet  which 
the  1' American  spy,"  Mr.  Biuo.\r,  lately 
bestd^red  upon  him.  Biqoar,  it  may  be 
reeolli?cted,  said  that  JIc>L\hon  was  an  ass. 
The  charge  was  so  unexpected,  and  so  ap- 
parently undeserved,  that  it  might  have 
passed  unnoticed.  It  was  at  once  dignified 
by  the  arrest  of  Biqgab.  It  assumed 
international  importance  when  it  was 
gravely  announced  that  Biggar  'was  an 
jVmerican  spy,  and  that  the  American 
ChargS  d' Affaires  at  Paris  had  sent  coun- 
sel to  see  that  he  had  fair  play.  In  this  in- 
stanot ,  of  course,  Bigg.4.r  vvill  be  precluded 
from  attempting  to  clear  himself  by  proving 
that  MacMauok  is  an  ass.  It  is  a  case  in 
which  the  old  maxim,  "the  greater  the 
truth,! the  greater  the  libel,"  will  surely  be 
quoted.  Bigoar,  when  brought  to  book, 
must  content  himself  with  declaring  that 
he  ha  1  drank  more  Burgimdy  than  was  dis- 


creet: 


and  that  his  inebriated  tongue  had 
run  a.way  with  his  better  judgment. 

Meantime,  somebody  in  the  MacMahon 
Government  is  attempting  to  create  an  im- 
pression that  the  Marshal-President  is  all 
that  Biqoar  in  his  cups  has  charged  him 
with  il  eing.  The  list  of  prohibitions  and 
8uppri!Ssions  ordered  by  the  French  Gov- 
ernment is  long  and  ludicrous.  It  is  ludi- 
crous because  it  shows  such  an  unprece- 
denteidjand  childish  weakness.  It  is  not 
only  Mrs.  Partington  sweeping  back  the 
waves  of  the  Atlantic  with  a  two-penny 
broom.  It  is  an  advertisement  of  the 
attractiveness  of  the  Republic.  Nothing  is 
ever  I  so  desirable  as  the  forbidden.  A 
naughty  book  in  England  was  like  to  die  of 
inanit  ion  until  its  authors  were  prosecuted 
for  ciiculating  obscenity.  Then  tlie  banned 
publication  «old  into  the  hundreds  of  thou- 
sandi.  The  MacMahon  Government  think 
to  stamp*  out  Republicanism  in  France  by 
puttihgl newspapers  and  portraits  under  tlic 
taboo.  I  Fi-enchmen  run  after  that  which  is 
secret  and  Ulicit.  If  they  have  nothing  to 
conspirla  against,  they  meet  in  dark  cellars, 
drinlE  liloo  1-red  wine,  lift  their  haiuls  aud 
swear  hor-ibly,  though  nothing  may  ever 
come!  of  it.  The  prohibitions  will  only  pop- 
ularize the  things  prohibited. 

The  list  i  3  quite  novel.'  Seven  or  eight  Re- 
publican uswspapers  have  been  suppressed, 
these  was  fined  and  the  manager 
jai  I  for  "  insulting  JJ^rsbal  Mac- 
"  Let  US  hope  that  the  editor  did 
not  calll  tho  Marshal-President  an  ass.  Two 
otheri  j6un  lals  were  prosecuted  for  publish- 
eolcred  map  showing  tho  political 
complexioi ,  of  the  departments.  It  is  to  be 
supposed  ihat  the  coloring  was  Kepub- 
licaiLi  [A.  Toiilouse  newspaper  was  fined 
for  |idfus;ng  to  print  a  speech  of 
Marshii  MacMahon.  Perhaps  the  speech 
was  not  good,  or  the  editor  had  "  a  press 
of  other  mitter,"  or  his  rival  had  printed  it 
in  adirinci!.  ;  No  matter,  the  President  of 
the  BepullicI  chose  to  have  his  speech 
printeilin  the  Z>5patcA,  therefore  refusal 
was  tre^soiialle  contumaciousness,  and  the 
editor  iSfOS  finijd.  At  this  distance  the  alfair 
seems  jsonic.  But  to  the  sufferers,  we 
doubt  kot,  lie  proceeding  was  tragical 
enoughJ  [t  is  hard  when  the  censorship  of 
the  pi-ijss  is  iio  severe  that  an  Administra- 
tion didtatfis  \rhat  the  newspapers  shall  not 
printi  IBvtvrhen  the  tyrant  declares  what 
sluHl  bt  prLitel,  chaos  has  come  again,  and 
the  tiiiiis  are  very  much  out  of  joint. 

The  heij  ;ht  of  absurdity  seems  to  have 
been  reiched,  however,  when  Marshal  Mac- 
Mahon'^ Government  attempts  to  regulate 
the  plotograjih  business.  It  is  forbidden 
to  sel.  j  ph  )tographs  of  M.  Thiers,  on  the 
streets  of  I'ailis.  But,  on  the  other  hand, 
80,00  OJ  pcpieis  of  equestrian  pictures  of 
Marshiil  M.  lc^kIahon  are  to  be  distributed  in 
the  proyip(  es.  This  is  the  way  in  which 
the  present  Administration  conducts  a  poli- 
tieal  canvass.  The  face  of  M.  Thiers, 
who  is  just  now  a  representative  Re- 
publican, has  been  aptly  caricatured 
by  the  Kladderadatsch,  a  German  comic 
saner.     Ha    ia    reornsAnted   as   a   amnll

man,  -with  a  bald  head,  Boman  nose, 
and  twinkling  eyes,  and'  wearing  that 
variety  of  eye-glasses  i>opnlaTly  known  as 
gig-lamps.  'Why  the  circulation  of  photo- 
graphs of  this  amiable,  fussy,  and  bald- 
headed  old  gentleman  should  be  dangerons 
to  the  State  no  man  outside  of  France  can 
possibly  imagine.  Yet  the  MacMahon  Gov- 
ernment has  suppressed  the  sale  of  the 
son-pictures  of  the  little  old  man.  Yet 
Marshal  MaCMahok,  in  spite  of  Biogar,  may 
not  be  an  ass. 

Mr.  Caleb  Ccshino,  in  moments  of  indi- 
gestion and  gloom,  used  to  warn  us  against 
the  "man  on  horseback."  In  France,  ao- 
cording  to  late  reports,  the  horseman  has 
come.  He  prohibits  the  sale  of  newspapers , 
orders  what  shall  be  printed — his  own 
speeches — ^regulates  the  sale  of  photographs, 
shuts  up  the  clubs,  and  drags  men  to  the 
criminal  courts  for  oiticising  his  actions.  The 
French  people  look  on  and  laugh.  There 
was  a  time  when  they  would  have  had  a  rev- 
olution, and  the  streets  would  have  run  with 
blood.  'Who  shall  say  that  the  times  and 
the  manners  have  not  changed  ?  MacMa- 
hon and  De  Broglie  may  possibly  think 
that  they  can  carry  an  election  by  such 
petty  tactics  as  these.  In  default  of  polit- 
ical principles,  they  are  attempting  the  old, 
old  game  of  suppression,  muzzling,  and  pro- 
hibition. It  is  too  late.  MacMahon  may 
not  be  an  ass,  as  the  malevolent  Bigoar 
said  he  was,  but  he  is  evidently  an  anachron- 
ism. 


TBE  SOCRATIC  SMALL  EOT. 

As  every  one  knows  who  knows  anything 
of  the  tricks  and  manners  of  Socrates, 
that  respectable  philosopher  never  con- 
versed except  by  asking  questions.  If  he 
wanted  to  express  the  opinion  that  Xax- 
TIPPE  had  put  too  much  lard  in  the  pie- 
crust, he  would  begin  by  propounding  to 
her  a  series  of  seemingly  irrelevant  ques- 
tions, with  the  view  of  ultimately  leading 
her  into  an  inadvertent  admission  of  the 
evils  of  excessive  lard.  His  famous  con- 
versation with  Alcibiades,  in  the  course  of 
which  he  convinced  the  latter  of  the  non- 
existence of  his  dog,  furnishes  a  fair  ex- 
ample of  what  we  have  come  to  call  the 
Soeratie  method  ;  and,  as  the  dialogue  has 
never  been  translated  into  English,  a  brief 
extract  from  it'  will  not  be  out  of  place  here. 

S. — They  tell  me,  O  Alcibiades,  that 
you  have  cut  off  your  dog's  taiL 

A. — It  is  true,  O  Socrates.  I  did  it  with 
my  little  battle-axe. 

S. — What  is  a  dog  f  Is  it  not  an  animal 
with  four  legs  and  a  tail  t 

A. — You  say  truly. 

S. — Then  your  dog  is  not  a  dog,  for  it  is 
an  animal  w^ith  four  legs,  yet  without  a 
Uil. 

A. — I  see  that  I  must  admit  it. 

S. — But  you  will  also  admit  that  neither 
among  Greeks,  nor  yet  among  barbarians, 
is  there  any  animal  which,  having  four  legs, 
has  no  tail. 

A. — Again  thou  sayest  what  nobody 
deniges  of. 

S. — How  then  can  you  claim  that  you 
have  the  verj-  animal  which  does  not  exist  f 

A. — By  Zeus,  I  make  no  such  claim, 
r  S.^Then  you  see  you  have  no  dog.. 

It  was  by  this  method  of  cross-questioning 
that  Socrates  achieved  a  tremendous  repu- 

tion.     It    is  to   be    regretted  that   in  his 

ter  years  he  did  not  adhere  to  his  early 
ustom  of  always  having  three  or  four  peo- 
le  about  him  whose  business  it  was  to  ad- 
mit everything.  Unfortunately,  he  fell  into 
the  habit  of  asking  everybody  questions,  in 
consequence  of  which  his  long-suffering  M- 
low-citizeus  finally  had  to  kill  him. 

The  recent  revival  of  the  Soeratie  method 
by  a  Massachusetts  small  boy,  who  liad 
never  so  much  as  heard  of  Socrates,  and 
the  remarkable  success  that  attended  the 
small  boy's  dialogue  with  his  father, 
Kev.  Samuel  Tarbox,  of  Goosebury,  Mass., 
deserve  to  be  commemorated  in  print.  Mr. 
Tarbox  has  been  well  known  in  Boston  and 
its  vicinity  for  many  years,  and  no  one 
doubts  that  he  is  one  of  the  most  faithful 
and  conscientious  ministers  of  the  orthodox 
Congiegatioual  denomination.  Descended 
from  the  Puritans,  he  has  finnly  kept 
the  faith  once  committed  to  those 
particular  saints,  aud  being  fearless 
and  honest  in  the  expression  of 
his  views,  he  commands  universal 
respect.  Mr.  Tarbox,  ha\Tng  labored  for 
nearly  twenty-five  years,  consented  this  Sum- 
mer to  take  a  three  months'  vacation,  in- 
cluding a  trip  to  Europe.  He  therefore 
ingaged  passage  on  the  steamer  which 
saik'd  from  this  port  last  Saturday,  and  on 
the  preeci'ung  Snjiday  preached  his  last  ser- 
mon. He  took  for  his  text  tho  Fourth  Com- 
mandment as  given  in  Exodus,  and  de- 
nounced with  the  utmost  severity  the  mod- 
ern system  of  Sunday  excursions.  He,  of 
eouree,  maintained  that  tho  commandment 
referred  to  Sunday,  and  that  no  man  had  a 
right  to'  violate  it,  however  pleasant 
such  a  violation  might  temporarily 
seem.  He  admitted  that  workmen 
could  not  get  into  the  country  except  on 
Sunday,  and  he  fully  sj-ropathized  with 
their  hard  lot ;  but  ho  unflinchingly  main- 
tained that  they  could  not  excuse  a  Sunday 
pleasure  excm-sion  on  the  plea  that  Sunday 
is  their  only  holiday.  It  must  be  admitted 
that  from  Rev.  Mr.  Tarbox's  point  of  view 
his  argument  was  conclusive.  As  he  justly 
said,  a  man  has  no  right  to  steal  peaches 
because  he  cannot  buy  them,  and  similarly 
he  has  no  right  to  go  on  a  Sunday  pleasure 
excursion  merely  because  he  is  a  workman 
who  has  no  holiday  except  Sunday. 

Now,-Mr.  Tarbox  owned  a  small  boy  of 
unusual  sharpness  and  of  an  inquiring  turn 
of  mind.  On  Sunday  evening  this  small 
boy  asked  his  father  how  much  time  a  voy- 
jige  across  the  Atlantic  required,  and  was 
informed  that  the  time  varied  from  seven  to 
sixty-four  days — the  swiftest  steamers  some- 
times making  the  voyage  in  the  former 
brief  period,  and  the  steamer  Smidt  gene- 
rally requiring  at  least  sixty -four  days  in 
favorable  weather.  Whereupon  the  follow- 
ing conversation  ensued : 

S.  B. — You  will  then  beat  sea  on  Sunday. 
T. — ^Yes,  my  son ;  I  shall  certainly  spend 
a  Sabbath  on  the  great  deep.^ 

S.  B. — ^Will  the  ship  stop  on  Sunday  f 
"T. — Of  course  not. 

S.  B. — Then  won't  you  be  traveling  on 
Sunday  ? 
T. — ^Well,  yes,  I  suppose  so. 

S.  B. — ^But  why  if  it  is  wrong  for  people 
to  travel  on  Sunday  steam-boats,  is  it  right 
for  you  to  travel  on  a  steam-ship  on  Simday  f 

T. — Because  I  cannot   cross   the    ocean 
-without  80  doing. 
S.  B. — ^Yoa  said  tkat  oeocle  mtst  not  .so 


sL 


on  Simday  exetirsion  steam-boats,  ev^n  if 
they  could  not  have  any  other  holiday,  but 
that  they  should  stay  at  home.  Could  you 
not  stay  at  home  T 

T. — I  suppose  I  eouid. 

S.  B. — ^Is  your  journey  to  Kuropo  a  work 
of  necessity  or  mercy  f 

T.— Not  precisely. 

S.  B. — Then,  if  you  go  on  a  pleasure  ex- 
cursion on  Saturday's  steamer,  and  travel 
all  day  Sunday,  what  is  the  4jff6rence  be- 
tween your  act  and  that  of  uie  workman 
who  goes  on  a  Sunday  pleasure  excursion  I 

T. — ^My  son,  you  will  now  go  to  bed,  and  at 
7  o'clock  to-morrow  morning  I  will  hold  an 
interview  with  you  in  the  woodshed. 

Having  thus  rid  himself  of  his  small  boy, 
the  good  Mr..  Tarbox  tried  to  rid  himself  of 
that  unpleasant  boy's  suggestions.  The 
efEort  was  a  failure.  The  more  he  reflected 
upon  what  he  had  said  in  his  sermon  the 
more  plainly  he  perceived  that  it  fully  ap- 
plied to  himself  and  his  intended  sea  voy- 
age. It  was  perfectly  true  that  he  could 
not  cross  the  Atlantic  without  traveling  on 
Sunday,  and  that  he  could  not  honestly 
eallliis  intended  voyage  a  work  of  neces- 
sity or  mercy.  It  was  quite  as  possible  for 
him  to  sta^  at  home  all  Simmier  in 
his  comfortable  parsonage  as  it  was 
for  the  workmen  to  stay  at  home 
every  Sundav  in  their  hot  tenement 
houses.  The  good  man  had  set  his  heart  on 
going  to  Europe,  but  he  had  long  before 
set  his  heart  on  doing  right.  He  felt  that 
he  must  either  give  up  his  voyage  or  give  up 
his  opposition  to  Sunday  excursions.  In 
such  a  dilemma  he  was  not  the  man  to  hesi- 
tate, and  the  only  compromise  which  he 
wo^ild  make  with  his  conscience  was  to  defer- 
a  final  decision  until  the  morrow. 

Early  the  next  morning  the  small  boy, 
with  his  clothing  carefully  lined  with  shin- 
gles, went  to  meet  his  stern  father  in  the 
woodshed.  He  foimd  him  with  a  serene 
and  peaceful  expression  of  face.  ,^**My 
son,"  remarked  the  good  man,  "I  have  de- 
cided not  to  chastise  you,  and  not  to  go  to 
Europe.  You  need,  therefore,  have  no  fear 
that  your  father  will  travel  on  Sunday." 

This  is  why  it  happened  that  the  list  of 
passengers  by  last  Saturday's  steamer  did 
not  contain  the  name  of  Rev.  Samuel 
Tarbox.  That  conscientious  minister  sacri- 
ficed his  passage  monej%  and  staid  at  hom«. 
Later  in  the  season  he  will  pay  a  visit  to  the 
sea-shore,  and  look  longingly  on  that  vast 
ocean  which  his  conscience  forbids  him  to 
cross.  "We  may  not  agree  with  him  in  his 
strict  Sabbattical  views,  but  we  m^ust  all 
honor  his  unswerving  devotion  to  his 
own  convictions  of  duty.  .Perhaps,  if  at 
some  future  day  a  steamer  is  built  which. 
sailing  on  Monday,  wjU  cross  the  Atlantic  in 
six  days,  Bev.  Mr.  Tarbox  will  be  one 
of  her  passengers.  Otherwise  he  will  live 
and  die  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic. 
.  It  will,  perhaps,  please  our  readers  to 
know  that  the  Soeratie  small  boy  was  drowned 
three  days  after  his  conversation  with  his 
father.  May  other  small  boys  take  warn- 
ing, and  avoid  putting  unpleasant  questions 
to  their  fathers,  lest  the  latter  should  turn 
again  and  rend  them,  and  the  Coroner's  jury 
should  say  that  it  served  them  right.

he  thus  speaks  of  it :  "One  of  the  most  delightful 
things  in  life  is  to  go  down  the  lake  callini;  on  your 
lady  friends  who  are  camping  out,  and  have  the  old 
folks  order  the  girls  to  t>ed  about  8:30.  while  viiu 
are  left  to  swing  iu  a  hammock  over  night,  under  a 
leaky  sail,  with  the  rain  pouring  (^own,  mercury  but 
a  little  above  zero,  and  no  stray  blimkets  ax  hand.  I* 
you  don't  believe  it,  just  try  it."

GENERAL  liOTES. 


An  Alabama  State  Industrial  Convention  is  to 
be.  held  at  Blount  Springs  on  Tuesday.  Sept.  4. 

KeJitucky  farmers  report  that  the  com  crop 
is  in  a  very  critical  situation,  owing  to  a  protracted 
drought. 

The  Trustees  of  the  University  of  Geor^a 
have  entered  upon  a  hopeless  war  against  the  secret 
societies. 

Hon;  "William  E.  Smith  is  confidently  be- 
lieved to  be  the  coming  man  for  Governor  of  Wis- 
consin.   He  is  a  RepubUcan. 

They  are  talking  of  running  a  straight-out 
Repubhcan  for  Mayor  of  Baltimore  at  the  next  elec- 
tion, and  the  name  of  fe.  P.  Parlett  is  suggested. 

Nineteen  Governors  have  promised  to  attend- 
the  meeting  of  Governors  iu  Philadelphia  on  the  29th 
inst.  How  insignificant  a  Governor  will  be  in  a  meet- 
ing of  Governors. 

There  must  be  a  great  many  cheap  men.  and 
they  certainly  are  on  top  in  the  Georgia  Constitu- 
tional Convention,  when  that  body  can  vote  166  to 
16  in  favor  of  repudiation.  ^ 

Baltimore  has  66.525  voters,  against  09.642 
in  1876.  In  Xovember  last  53.413  votes  were  cast 
there  for  Congressmen,  and  in  Xovember,  1S75, 
5B,S51  were  cast  for  Governor. 

The  Syrarf!use  Courier  is  very  sure  that  S5Ta 
cuse  is  the  only  prc^>er  place  for  the  holding  of  the 
Democratic  State  Convention  and  that,  above  all, 
Saratoga  is  not  suited  for  the  ptirpose. 

A  New-Haven  lady,  who  refused  to  pay  a 
sculptor  for  a  bust  of  her  late  husband,  on  the  plea 
that  it  wa.s  not  lifelike,  has  been  condemned  by  the 
courts  to  pay  the  artist  $17*2  75  and  costs. 

A  Montreal  man.  in  view  of  the  strikes, 
makes  a  frantic  appeal  for  a  standing  army  for 
Canada.  "Let  ns  have,'"  he  says.  "lO.OOO  infantry 
and  rides,  with  six  regular  batteries  of  artillery." 

Tho  Montpelier  (Vt.)  Watchman  says  that, 
whether  the  English  sparrow.s  are  respon<;ibIe  or 
not.  it  is  very  evident  that  from  some  cause  thert? 
are  fewer  singing-birds  thereabouts  than  formerly. 

The  Administrator  of  an  estate  in  Columbus, 
Ga.,  Is  in  a  quandary.  Among  the  assets  is  aDout 
$80  worth  of  whisky,  and  the  internal  revenue  agent 
forbids  him  to  sell  it  unless  he  takes  out  a  wholesale 
liquor  dealers'  hcense  at  a  cost  of  $100. 

The  Republicans  of  Ohio  will  formallv  open 
the  campaign  at  Athens,  on  the  -5th  inst.  Judge 
West  will  speak  there,  but  it  Ls  expected  that  he  will 
make  a  speech  to  his  immediate  neighbors  in  Belle- 
fontaine  a  week  or  10  days  before  tliat  time. 

Gen.  Hincks  says  that  there  were  between 
200  and  300  men  in  the  Milwaukee  Soldiers'  Home 
able  to  do  military  duty  in  the  emergency,  and  that 
all  the  merriment  over  Gov.  Ludii^on's  suggestion 
that  they  be  armed  against  the  rioters  was  uncalled 
for. 

The  Trustees  of  the  University  of  (Jeorgia

LECTURE    BY    REV.    JOSEPH    COOK  ON'  GOD    » 
XATITRE'S  LAW — BISHOP  PECK  ON*  SCIENCE 
AND  THE  SPIRIT  WORLD — ^AN  ADDRESS  ON 
THE  SALVATION  OF  CHILDREN  BY  REV.  T- 
B.  STEPHENSON,  OF  ENGLAND. 
Fairpoint,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  10. — Eev.  Joseph 
Cook's  lectures  constitute  the  chief  featuru  ot 
the    Chautauqua    Assembly  at  present.     They 
are  to  be  continued  during  the  week.    At   11 
o'clock  this  morning  he  addressed  a  very,  larsre 
audience  on  the  ^hjeot  of  "  God  in  Nature's 
Law."    He  took  the  position  that  if  matter  is 
essentially  inert — that  is.  if  it  cannot  originatd 
force  oj  motion — every  exhibition  of  force  ot 
motion  in  matter  must  originate  in  mind,  mat- 
ter being  essentially  inert :  hence  every  exhibi- 
tion of  force  or  motion    originates  in    mind. 
God    is  therefore'omnipresent  iu   natural  law. 
since  where. he  acts,  there  he  is. 

At  2  o'clock  this  afternoon,  after  singing 
by  Mr.  L.  S.  Young  and  the  Apollo  Club  ol 
New- York,  Bishop  Jes.sc-  T.  Peck,  D.  D..  of  tho 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  lectured  on  "  Sci- 
ence and  the  Spirit  World."  The  Bishop  as- 
sured the  immense  audieuce  that  Joseph  Cook, 
before  he  delivered  his  morning  lecture  had  nc 
acce-ss  to  his  notes.  It  was  no  pleasant  task  to 
follow  such  a  Mississippi,  a  Niagara,  and  a£ 
earthquake,  all  in  one.  as  Mr.  Cook  It  had 
been  theboast  of  infidels  that  science  would  ul- 
timately overthrow  religion.  The  spirit  world 
was  mentioned  in  distiixction  from  matter.  Tht 
speaker  asked  two  questions — How  far  hac 
science  projected  itself  into  the  sphere  of  reve- 
lation I  and.  What  right  has  science  to  a  nega- 
tive beyond  its  own  discovery  ?  Causation  wat; 
first  treateiL  Causes  must  exist  before  they 
act.  We  cannot  account  for  the  reproduction 
of  species  until  we  accotmt  for  the  pro- 
duction of  the  first  species.  Then  a  cause 
must  be  where  it  operated.  This  caus- 
ation comes  from  an  infinite  power, 
which  produces  perfect  adjustments  of  crea 
tion.  These  adjustments  are  not  the  results  ol 
happening,  Kags  do  not  happen  to  get^inl-j 
H:he  white  sheet,  and  the  types  do  not  happen 
into  pages,  and  happen  io  print  Themselves 
upon  the  paper:  neither  do  flowers  happen  tc 
gi'ow.  The  a'imirable  and  close  adjustments  of 
nature  are  not  the  results  of  chance.  Law  is. 
the  same  as  the  force,  but  is  the  agt*nt  of  power. 
The  Bishop  wished  to  join  his  distinguished 
friend,  Mr.  Cook,  in  putting  an  extinguisher  on 
this  nonsense  about  the  force  of  natural  law. 
The  announcement  of  Moses  that  in  thfr  be- 
ginning God  created  the  heavens"  "and 
rhe  earth  is  the  easiest  solution  oi 
the  great  question.  The  speaker  then 
proceeded  to  yrive  -j.  brief  sketch  of  tbe  history 
of  scientific  thought,  after  which  the  tetjtimony 
of  Biblical  writers  was  given.  What  man, 
asked  he,  was  ever  equal  to  Moses,  the  grand 
and  towering  leader  of  Lrael.  who  said.  **  In  the 
Irtjginuing  God  created  the  heavens  and  th»; 
earth,"  While  Iloreb  ,is  a^  atlame  with  God 
some  men  prefer  to  stay  at  the  foot  of  the 
mountain  worshipping  a  l.'ttie  calf. 

At  6;45  o'clock  this  evening,  in  the  Pavilion, 
Rev.T.BowmanStC(henson.of  London.Eupland, 
the  father  of  children's  homes  in  Great  Britain, 
commenced  his  lecture  by  sayiug  that  if  he  did 
ndt  incorrectly  read  the  signs  of  the  times  the 
Chris-tiaii  public  of  Amerir.-i  would  soon  place 
itstlf  fat-e  to  face  wnth  the  dithcult  problem  of 
city  vice  and  city  pauperism,  which  had  so 
eenerally  ilistressed  the  Old  World.  Ever  since 
the  abolition  of  monasteries  by  Henry  VIZI., 
there  had  existed  in  England  a  stratum  of  so- 
ciety which  had  been  the  despair  of  the  states- 
man and  the  grief  of  the  Christian  ;  but  of  those 
in  this  class  the  children  were  the  greatest  suf- 
ferers,from  their  circumstances,  and  were,  there- 
fore entitled  to  the  tenderest  pity.  They  wers 
also  the  most  hopeful  element  for  the  effort*  of 
the  philanthropi:jt  and  Christian.  If  society 
wras  to  be  saved,  the  process  of  its  salvation 
must  commence  with  the  rescue  of  the  children. 
In  England  various  agencies  were  at  work  for 
this  purpose  :  some  wholly  supplied  by  taxa- 
tion, others  entirely  by  private  enterprise  and 
donations,  and  others  still  by  a  union  of  the 
two.  Tlie  sneaker  said  be  was  convinced  that, 
for  the  Old  World  at  least,  the  only  hope  lay  iu 
the  union  of  volunteer  labor  and*  State-action 
for  the  rescue  of  the  children  of  the  streets. 
3Ir.  Stephenson  gave  a  history  of  the  childrep's 
home  which  was  organized  in  iJondon  on  Bon- 
ner-road,  eight  years  ago.  and  had  develop*.^ 
five  branches,  namely,  the  Lancashire  brSiich, 
near  Bolton  ;  the  Catiadian  branch,  at  HamUton, 
Ontario :  the  Industrial  branch,  at  Milton,  Kent; 
tbe  Children  Mission,  at  Bonnor-lane  ;  and  tho 
Mission  Hail,  at  Bethnal  Green,  London.  Tbo 
six  homes  have  now  450  inmates,  and  85V 
children  have  been  rescued  through  their  meanf

ALBANY,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  10.— WiUis  K. 
Paine,  Receiver  of  the  Bond-Street  Savings 
Bank,  recently  sold,  under  order  of  the  court, 
certain  real  estate  of  the  bank  on  Vanderbilt-j 
avenue,  Brooklvn.  The  property  realized 
$16,000.  In  lb73  the  property  was  valued  at 
$tJ0,OOO,  and  the  lowest  estimate  since  placed 
upon  its  value  was  $-tO.0lK>.  Owing  to  these 
facts,  and  the  further  fact  that  $20,000  was 
offered  for  the  property  at  private  sale,  the 
Receiver,  through  counsel,  moved  before 
Justice  Landon  that  the  report  of  sale 
should  not  be  confirmed,  and  that  an  order  to 
resell  the  property  should  be  granted.  Justice 
Landon  to-dav  denied  the  motion.

I     GREETING— SPEeA   AT  THE   PIFTH-ATE- 

i     NtTE  HOTEL  IN  THE   EVEJnNG. 

After  a  six  weeks*  risit  abroad.  Senator  Conk- 
iing  retnraed  borae  yesterday,  lookiiu;  the  better  for 
hta  short  trip,  which  seems  at  least  to  have  giTen 
him  a  much-oeeded  rest  He  returned  on  the  steam- 
■faip  Neckar.  of  the  German  line,  and  reached  Sandy 
Hook  by  10  o'clock  In  the  morning,  when  the  pas- 
•ezigers  on  board  bad  their  first  view  of  a  clear  sun. 
The  voj-aae,  it  seems,  was  not  altogether  pleasant, 
the  weather  being  rough  aomowhat,  and,  when  near 
theUnd,  fogs  frequent  and  continuous.  A  small 
party  went  down  the  bay  to  welcome  the  Senator  on 
hia  retnm  ;  and  a  reception  which  at  &crt  was  in- 
tended to  be  a  sort  of  semi-private  affair,  preparatory 
so  to  speak  to  the  formal  serenade  and  inception  in 
the  ev^in^.  (jrew  to  be  a  pablic  celebration  of  the 
most^thosiafftie  character.  Congressman  Starin  had 
been  applied  to  the  evening  before  for  the  use  of  the 
imali  boat  H.  M.  Wells;  bat  he- would  listen  to  no 
representations  on  the  subject,  and  insisted  that  the 
powerful  steamer  Thomas  Collyer,  probably  the 
fastest  boat  on  the  waters  of  tlie  bay, 
should  be  sent  to  do  honor  to  the  occasion. 
When  the  boat  started  from  her  pier  atTwenty- 
fonrtb-street,  a  little  after  S  o'clock,  the  whole  party 
on  board  numbered  less  than  60,  which,  of  course, 
barely  made  more  than  a  crew  for  so  large  a  vessel. 
This,  however,  was  what  had  been  intended,  and  It 
was  the  part  of  wisdom  to  avoid  having  a  crowd,  for 
the  morning  was  sultry  and  hazj-.  and  iiad  the  decks 
been  filled  '.nth  such  a  throng  as  might  have  ea&ily 
been  gathered,  there  would  have  been  no  comfort  for 
any  one.  As  it  was,  everybody  was  pleased,  and  the 
boat  started  with  the  little  party  in  the  highest 
spirits.  Among  those  aboard  were  Mr.  Cornell,  Mar- 
shal Parn,  Postmaster  James,  Col.  Howe,  Congress- 
man Stftrin,  Silas  B.  Dutcher.  Major  Bullard,  William 
liaimbeer.  Mr.  Biirliu,  Mr.  Creagan,  John  O'Brien, 
Hugh  Gardner,  Dwight  Lawrence,  and  a  delf^tion 
of  gentlemen  from  t'tica,  headed  by  Dr.  William  H. 
Watson. 

It  wns  wnpt'rt.itu  at  tlie  time  of  the  start  at  what 
hour  the  Xcckar  would  be  met.  or,  indeed,  whether  it 
would  not  be.  as  one  of  the  crew  expressed  it,  "'an 
all  day  and  all  ni^ht  job"  to  meet  her ;  but  on  steam- 
ing np  to  the  Hoboken  dock  a  man  standing  there 
waved  his  hnt  and  shoutud  out  lustily  the  welcome 
Information  that  thi*  steamer  was  telegraphed  from 
tHr©  Island  at  S  o'clock,  and  would  pass  th^  Hook  at 
10.  TJie  Collyer  was  h^a<ie<l  for  the  Battery,  some 
more  people  were  taken  aboartl  there,  and  then  a 
landm^  was  m.ide  at  Governor's  Island.  Mr.  Starin 
and  some  other  ^-ntlemen  were  not  satisfie<l  to  have 
the  ud'air  su  '^uiet  :  they  wanted  some  music  aboard. 
•'  No  dcad-aml-alive  work.  Sir."  exclaimed  Mr. 
Starin:  "we  must  have  something  to  wake  us  up." 
0»i.  Howe  jiud  Deputy  Marshal  Creagan  had  a  private 
talk  with  Major  Bush,  commanding  the  post,  and 
the  rt-sult  of  it  wa:^  that  in  a  short  time  the 
post  tfand  c-'ime  m-irrhing  down  to  the  Ijinding  and 
epe-niUy  wei-e  in  place  for  work  on  tije  upper 
deck-  '  The  Collyer  again  returned  to  Hoboken 
and  tht-n  to  Twenty-fourth-street,  mainly  to 
■while  aw:iy  the  time  :  as*  Mr.  Starin  remarked  that 
if  thi^  lii.ai  wt-nt  do\vn  right  away  and  went  outside 
the  H«jt>k,  evt-rybody  would  be  in  the  very  reverse  of 
a  receptive  mofKl.  the  sea  being  mngh.  Wfien  tlie 
proper  moment  came  tlie  Collyer  steamed  d"wn  the 
bay.  a  bright  lookout  t>eing  kept  through  the  fi^  for 
the  expt^fted  arrival.  Nothing  was  seen  of  the  Neckar. 
however,  until  ju.-it  near  the  Hook.  In  a  few  moments 
some  one  shouted  ''Here  she  i.<.  "  and  indeed  the  great 
sleamer  seemed  almost  oVfrtopping  the  boat.  .She 
Wiis  running  up  aC  nearly  full  speed.  The  Collyer 
had  not  turned,  anvl  had  U>  rtin  under  the 
stem  <:f  the  Nerkar  to  do  it.  which. 
of  criurse.  lost  her  considerable  way,  and 
reduced  a  largo  number  of  people  on  board  to  a  state 
of  rranlic  appreliension  that  they  would  have  a  tine 
view  of  nothing  but  the  stent  of"  the  steam-ship  for 
the  rest  of  the  way  home.  The  Captain  of  the  Coll- 
yer, however,  knew  diflerenily.  He  made  the  turn 
BO  -ihort  that  the  starboard  pattdle  buried  itself  in  the 
wavt-s  till  the  water  ran  over  the  guards  ;  then  get- 
ting into  the  course,  lie  put  on  steam  and  sent  the 
fcnat  m^-ing  througli  the  water  till  the  luiws  were  m  a 
cloud-of  foam.  In  five  minutes  the  Collyer  had  over- 
hauled the  Nvckar.  so  that  it  was  po.sail>le  to  distin- 
puisii  !ioine  'me  standing  on  the  bridge  :  in  live  min- 
utes muff  thi.s  pt-Tson  was  .-^een  to  wave  a  small  flag. 
and  tfavrt-"  wt-nt  an  uncertain  murmur  thn>ngh  the 
eugt?r  crowd  arwund  the-  pilot-house  ;  another  two 
mijiut>'s,  and  tlie  Collyer  was  on  the  Neckar's 
quarter.  ai;"i  there  Went  up  a  shout.  "  Three 
cheers  for  Senator  Coiikling!"  and  they  were 
civfM  with  imnu*nse  force  and  earnestness.  The 
S>enalur.  bareheailed  and  smiling,  replied  with  re- 
peated huws  and  wavinin  of  the  little  silk  flag. 
Meanwhile  the  Collyer  had  whistled  a  shrill  sereatm 
of  welcome,  to  whit'h  trie  Neekar's  whistle  returned 
a  hoarse  roar.  The  ban^  struek  up  "  Home  Again." 
and  the  liundreds  of  'steerage  passenKers  on  the 
steam-ship  s  ducks,  in  their  ignorance  of  Knglish  and 
<)f  American  way:<.  supposed  the  whole  entertain- 
ment gt.ii  up  for  their  especial  benefit,  and  made  wild 
demon:itnitiuns  of  appreciation. 

This  sort  of  thing  continued  until  Quarantine  was 
reached,  wliere  the  .Surveyor's  boat  (and  Mr.  Mur- 
phy) was  in  waiting,  and  saluted  with  a  gun,  to 
which  the  Collyers  gun  replied.  It  should  have  been 
mentioned,  by  the  way.  that  there  was  a  3- 
pounder  aboanl.  owned  and  worked  by  the  ancient 
Van  Valkenburg.  who  labored  with  the  most  praise- 
worthy zeal  to  ;:L<tasmuchandas  frequent  noise  out  of 
his  artillery  as  the  heat  of  the  weatherwould  permit. 

About  hall  an  hour  at  Quarantine,  and  the  Neckar 
weighed  anchor  and  started  up  the  bay  for  her  dock 
at  Hoboken.  F'rom  this  moment  almost  tmtU 
the  dock  was  reached,  the  run  was  made  amid  the 
most  dreadful  din  which  steam,  gunpowder,  bell- 
metal,  and  th»  human  voice,  all  combined,  could 
produce.  An  immense  tleet  of  tugs  whs  lying  in 
wait  for  the  ship,  and  directly  she  approaclied  they 
simultaneously  let  off  their  whistles  ;  some  of  the 
larger  tags  had  guns  aboard,  and  these  were  tired; 
the  PoUre-boat  Seneca  joined  in  with  two  guns  :  the 
>.'eekar  roared  <  >ut  its  rei^lies  :  the  Collyer  screamed 
and  fired  its  gun  as  fast  as  possible :  the  band  played 
with  extra  allowance  of  big  drum ;  the  Staten 
Island  and  other  ferry -ijoats  whistled ;  ev- 
erybody on  every  boat,  anywhere  within 
sight  or  hearing,  cheered  and  cheered,  waved  hats 
Bnd  handkerchiefs ;  and  Barney  Bigl in.  luiable  to  re- 
strain himself  any  longer,  st-ized  the  rope  attached  to 
■  ponderous  w-\X  on  the  Collyer  and  mude 
the  noisy  thing  spin  around  .  at  the 
rate  of  t>o';evulu;ions  t"  the  minute.  The  sailors 
on  the  Jii:uie:Jota.  a.-.tounded  at  this  terrific  din, 
swarmed  tliruugh  the  ports  and  went  up  the  shrouils 
like  a  crowd  of  dying  monkej's.  In  one  instant  the 
whole  riggiui:was  black  with  them,  but  unfortunately 
the  excnrsionists  were  not  treated  to  the  extremely 
Jnterestiiig  sight  of  manning  the  yards,  as  th«*  httats 
pnaJted  l(M>  swiftly  to  give  the  chance.  Amid  such 
dfmonst  rat  ions  tlie  Neckar.  with  her -attendant,  ap- 
proacJied  the  Hoboken  wharf,  where  a  large  crowd, 
said  to  Im?  mainly  friends  of  .Senator  McPherson  and 
ex-Senator  iS'elinghuysen.  hnd  assembled  to  welcome 
the  Senator.  They  had  a  heavy  field-piece,  too,  and 
fired  a  regular  salute,  while  from  Pier  No.  4^.  acrftss 
the  river.  the  sound  of  another  gun  could  be  heard. 
At  the  dock  a  large  number  of  peojile  went 
Aboanl  the  vessel,  and  there  was  the  first 
talking  done.  Kver>'body  wanted  to  have 
something  said  in  the  way  of  welcome, 
»o  in  default  of  any  other,  Mr.  Stiner  offered  to 
Senator  Coukling  the  congratulations  of  his  numer- 
otis  friends  on  Ids  safe  return.  The  Seimtor  replied 
h»  tlie  briefest  and  mo.st  informal  way.  tbaiucing 
them   ver>'  heartily  for  their  kindness,   saying  how 

flad  he  was  to  met't  so  ni:i:iy  familiar  faces,  and  that 
e  had  had  too  much  fcnoi-king  about  to  make  any 
formal  adilress  at  that  time.  <>n  landing,  the  Senator 
was  received  by  New-Jersey  delegation,  with  Major 
Pimgboni  to  the  fore,  calling  for  "three  rousing  Jer- 
tev  cheers."  These  cheers  were  given,  but  were  not 
distinguishable  from  other  cheers  heard  alreitdy 
along  the  route.  An  Impromptu  proce««ion  had  been 
formed  by  the  Collyi^r  party,  with  the  band  at  its  head, 
to  march' from  the'stfamefs  pier  to  the  next  beyond. 
where  the  CoUyir  had  to  go,  and,  having  got  him 
out  of  the  clutches  of  the  Jerseymen.  the  procession 
marched  in  irrand  array  around  the  docks  and  safely 
transferred  the  Senator  to  the  Collyer,  where  some 
]unch  was  piven  him,  which  he  seemed  to  be  in  need 
of.  The  Collyer  was  then  headed  up  the  river,  and 
a  lirtle  cruising  about  done  to  allow  time  for  intro- 
ductions, interchange  of  greetings,  &c..  until  2:30. 
"When  the  lunding  was  made  at  Twenty-fourth-street. 
the  Senator  was  carried  away,  amid  loud  cheering,  for 
n  little  rest  at  Col.  Howe's  hotise,  and  everybody  said 
that  .the  whole  reception  was  a  great  success — which 
ttwiU.

THE  EVEXINOJ  RECEPTION'. 

The  reception  to  Senator  Conkling  at  the 
fifth-Avenue  Hotel  came  late.  The  Senator  him- 
self desired  rest,  and,  from  one  cause  or  an- 
other, it  was  1 1 :30  o'clock  before  the  pro- 
ceedings were  properly  en  train.  There  were 
Dumerous  friends  in  Immediate  attendance,  and  in 
the  public  places  of  the  hotel,  and  outside  there  was 
B  very  considerable  crowd  anxious  to  welcome  the 
distinguished  Senator.  Gilmore's  Band,  which  was  to 
serenade  the  guest  of  the  evening,  did 
not  arrive  tmtU  considerably  after  11  o'clock- 
Among  those  present  were :  Gem  Sickles,  I>r.  A.  Rup- 
paner,  P.  B.  Veiller,  Gen.  Pope,  of  Lawrence  County; 
JohnSylvestre.of  Columbia  County ;  Jeromiah  Drew, 
Stewart  To.  Woodford,  Dr.  Henry,  Jacob  Hess,  A.  B. 
Griawold,  John  H.  Smjthe.  Nearly  all  the  gentle- 
men who  took  part  in  the  morning  v  reception 
on/  the  Bay  were  also  in  attendance.  After 
appropriate  mnslc  by  Gilmore's  Band,  JudgeUMtten- 
hoefer  came  to  the  front  of  the  Fifth-Avenue  .Hotel 
balconv,  and  said  that  he  had  been  appointed  to  in- 
form the  citizens  present  that  Hon.  Isaac  H. 
Bailey  wotild  welcome  the  great  Senator  on  his  re- 
turn to  the  State  that  honored  and  admired  him. 

Mr.  B.'uley  then  came  forward.  He  said  that  the 
occa»ion  wa»  one  on  which  they  met  upon  common 
pronnd.  Thev  were  there  simply  to  welcome  their 
own  Senator  of  the  State  of  T?^-York  baclc  from  hia 
foreign  voyage.  It  was  a  compliment  paid  to  him,

Mm  by  the  City  of  New- York,  the  p  eat 
metropolis  of  the  Union.  Mr.  Bailey  made  furt  ner 
remarics  in  the  same  strain,  which  were  warmly  re- 
ceived, and  then  Senator  Coukling  came  forw  rd. 
He  was  received  with  unfeigned  welcome,  and  w  len 
silence  was  restored  spoke  va  follows : 

SENATOR  CONKLnfG*S   SPEECH. 

This  greeting,  more  than  you  can  easily  realize ,  ia 
gratifying  to  me.  After  tossing  in  chili  winds  md 
rains  on  foaming  seas,  sometimes  in  the  swee]  of 
polar  currents,  there  is  something  unknown  bel  :>re 
in  the  cordiality  of  neighbors  and  friends.  In 
the  thankfolness  of  seeing  yon,  and  se  iug 
America  again,  I  want  to  say  a  word  in 
praise  of  the  good  ships  which  carried  us 
safely  to  and  fro— the  Mosel  and  the  Kectar — an  1  of 
their  officers  and  men.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  testify  .  as 
all  my  fellow-passengers  wotild  do,  of  the  care,  the 
courtesy,  the  comfort,  and,  above  all,  the  seamam  hip 
and  safety  to  be  found  on  the  ships  of  the  North  i  \er- 
man  Lloyd.  How  eonid  words  be  f  onnd  fitly  to  th  mk 
you  for  the  honor  of  this  welcome.  Those  wi  rds 
should  -  be  spoken  and  then  a  prudent  man  wi  uld 
stop.  If  I  go  on,  yon  wlU  secihat  I  come  ha  ika 
stronger  if  not  a  bettec  American  than  I  w  !nt. 
Never  before  was  I  so  proud  of  my 
country  and  my  countrymen,  or  bo  con'  ent 
with  them.  Mindful  of  much  courtesy  and  hospi  all- 
ty  abroad,  I  was  amazed  to  find  so  little  to  env  >-  or 
to  wish  to  see  transplanted  to  our  land.  G  eat 
Britain  has,  of  course,  the  accumulated  res  ilts 
of  many  generations.  She  has  had  eight  centurM  i  of 
Parhaments  and  of  power,  and  she  has  ti  Icon 
tribute  from  half  the  world.  Time  und 
entailed  estates  have  piled  up  collo  isal 
wealth,  individual,  family,  and  aggregate.  Bu  in 
civiliiation.  in  liberty,  in  general  intelligence  in 
actual  progress,  and.  above  all,  in  the  promise  of  the 
future,  America,  young  as  she  is,  need  not  sk  ink 
from  a  comparison.  In  public  conveniences  and 
methods  of  nearly  every  khid  we  are  fai  In 
advance.  English  hotels  would  S€sem  sadly  be  lind 
the  times  here — indeed  they  would  not  be  endu  red. 
Telegraphic  service  Is  inferior  to  ours.  Railwav  ser- 
vice in  general  is  destitute  of  facilities,  com^'  rts, 
and  conveniences.  •  which  here  are  mat  ters 
of  course  ever>'where  -,  and  the  fares  w  tuld 
sound  extravagant  indeed  among  us.  But  thei  ?  is 
one  piece  of  wisdom  in  England  by  which  the 
City  of  New- York  weil  might  profit.  I  n  ean 
rapid  and  cheap  transit  in  London.  Xx>n  Ion. 
with  its  4.000,000  people,  tmlike  3  ew- 
York,  spreads  out  in  all  directions.  This,  of  coi  rse, 
makes  more  difficult  and'  expensive  anv  systen  .  or 
provision  for  rapid  transit  reaching  atl  sides  and 
quarters.  No  one  course  of  travel  will  stiffice.  Not 
only  north  and  south,  but  east  and  west,  people  and 
freight  must  be  carried  «i&ily  to  and  fro.  The 
Thames,  flowing  throuiih  the  heart  of  the  city,  1 1,  to 
be  sure,  a  great  channel  of  traffic  and  travel,  and  yet 
'the  width  of  space  occupied  by  the  Thames  givei  up 
in  Kew-York  to  iron  rails  would  more  than  e  inal 
all  'the  advantage  of  the  river.  And  then,  too, 
London  has  no  North  River  on  one  side  and  5ast 
River  on  the  other.  With  all  her  difficulties  see 
what  she  has  done.  By  sunken  tracks  and 
elevated  tracks,  by  undergnnmd  roads  and 
overground  roads,  all  parts  of  her  immense  trea 
may      be     reached       quielily       and       cheaply  I  by 

giople  and  freight,  and  rea';hed  by  st(  am. 
ere  is  London's  on*'  great  possoasiou  :  without  his. 
even  her  docks  would  be  of  only  partial  value,  [s  it 
not  amazing  that  on  Manhattan  Fslnnd,  long  and 
narrow  as  it  i?.  and  therefor*  wanting  main  1  nes 
only  north  and  south,  a  -  prime  need  like 
this  has  been  neglected,  until  propeity.  commi  rce, 
population,  and  ever\'  intOTest  of  the  Cityislang'  ish- 
mg.  because  men  and  merchandise  canno'tbe  m  ved 
at  reasonable  rates  of  time  and  money.  Ko  man  nrho 
knows  New-V<irk  can  visit  Ixmdon  and  not  mi  rvel 
afresh  that  Spnyten  Duyvil  and  the  Battery Jiavt  not 
long  ago  been  brought  together,  and  terminal  f  cill- 
ties  for  both  home  and  seagoing  traffic  created  for 
the  want  of  wliich  the  City  and  .State  of  New-' brk 
are  losing  untold  millions  every  year.  Having  long 
thought  much  on  this  subject.  I  cannot  help  snea  cing 
of  it  at  the  first  moment  of  looking  into  the  fac*  $  of 
those  who  have  power  to  deal  with  it. 

Pa-ssing  from  L<»ndon  to  Paris,  one  thing  strucl .  me 
of  wliich  you  will  gladly  be  reminded;  that  i;  the 
magnanimity  of  Germany  and  (rermans.  This  is  suf- 
ficiently illustrated  by  the  pahices  and  parks  of  y  er- 
sailles.  Splendid  as  they  are  in  treasures  of  art  rap- 
tured from  half  the  peoide  of  Europe,  they  pere 
among  the  places  occupi*Ml  by  the  armies  of  Oerr  lany 
in  the  Franco- I*russian  War.  It  was,  you  remen  bef. 
in  the  great  ball-room  of  the  chief  palace  that 
Kinc  "William  was  crowned  Emperor,  and  his  sol- 
diers were  quartered  everywhere.  IJutlawlessne  s  or 
resentment  laid  ho  hand  on  the  place.  No  rt  ugh 
sense  of  justice  said,  '"These  :rTand  embellishn  ents 
came  here  as  snoils  and  trophies,  and  as  spoils  and 
tropliies  we  will  take  them  away."  Everything  was 
left  and  restored  untouched,  and  the  residents  ol  the 
neighborhood,  bitter  as  th^-y  are.  confessed  that  the 
Germans  paid  for  all  they  consumed,  one  man  ad  ling 
that  they  paid  d<iuble  prices  too.  Versailles  is  per- 
ha^ps  the  most  m:ignificent  possession  of  France  out 
it :  is  also  a  majestic  monument  of  the  gran  leur 
anii  forbearance  of  victorious  (Jermany.  I  reji  iced 
to  look  on  its  preservation,  not  alone  for  the  c  edit 
it  ICSea  to  humanity,  but  for  the  honor  it  reflect  i  nn 
tliat  great  body  of'  our  own  citizens  who  came  rom 
the  land  of  tlie  Khinel  You  know  it  is  llie 
weakness  of  travelers,  especially  travelers  who  mvo 
seen  but  little,  to  talk;  of  what  they  see.  You 
will  forcive  me  this  once,  provided  I  ittop 
here ;  but  I  shall  never  forgive  my.self  f  I 
go  on.  Many  of  you  gave  me  mea"  ages 
to  Gen.  Grant.  They  were  delivered  and 
appreciated,  and  groetinjgs  sent  you  in  rei  urn. 
Wherever  he  goes  honors  Wait  upon  him,  but  th<  y  do 
not  seem  to  wean  him  from  things  at  liome.  He  may 
remain  long  abroad,  but'  when  he  returns  yo  lare 
likely  to  find  that  all  the  distinctions  pf  an-d 
upon  him.  have  not  washed  out  a  jot  of  his  Amei  can- 
Ism,  or  made  htm  anything  save  the  same  upi  ght, 
.downright  Republican,'  without  rant  or  palaver  -the 
same  modest  unpretending  citizen,  you. have  ever 
known  him.  Again  greeting  you  and  renewing  my 
thanks  I  bid  you  good  night.

LoNQ  Bbanch,  Friday,  Aug.  10, 18T7. 

The  accident  ^vhich  occurred  here  yesterday- 
has  proved  fatal!  to  one  of  the  j>assengers  by  the 
trahi  whic]i  plmiged  from  the  bridge  at  Oceanport 
Creek.  C.  Edward  Ver  Menlin,  a  boy,  16  years  of 
age,  was  in  the  socond  passenger  car  when  it  was 
tipped  over ,  and  ti  e  was  thrown  across  the  car  against 
the  upper  cornice  on  the  lower  side  of  the  carriage, 
recelvlnjf  contusic  ns  of  the  eyo  and  leg,  and  his  chest 
was  dreadfully  crushed.  He  was  taken  out  soon 
after  ,  the  jshock  [  occurred,  and  carried,  with  ten 
or  a  doten  others,  to  the  house  of  Capt. 
Harry  Edwards,  aboht  a  mile  ^  from  the  bridge, 
where  he  k«eeiv^  immediate  medical  attendance. 
He  lay  for  a  longitime  tn  an  unconscious  state,  but 
during  the  evening  of'Thursday  be  became  sensible, 
and  for  a  few  hours  gave  promise  of  doing  well. 
Toward  mi inight  however,  he  passed  again  into  in- 
senaibihty,  from  -phich  he  did  not  rally,  remaining 
comatose  until  ^tween  3  and  4  o'clock,  when  be 
died.  He  iras  a  sjon  of  Dr.  Vermeulen,  of  the  Umted 
States  Nav)r,  and  his  father  is  now  with  the  Ameri- 
can sqnadnm  In  Japanese  waters.  He  was  attended 
by  his  mother,  and  the  loss  of  her  only  child  has 
sadly  prostrated  her.  His  uncle,  Hon.  Charles 
Campbell,  of  Middlesex,  was  also  with  him  at  the

Edwards'  house  I  suffering '  from  cuts  and  bruises 
received  in  the  wreck.  The  body  was  prepared  for 
burial  by  ah  undertaker,  and  a  special  train  this 
afternoon  conveyed  it  to  Woodbridge,  where 
Mrs.  Ver  Meulen  resides.  Coroner  Gugel 
was  immediately  notified,  and  this  morning  he 
impaneled  &  jury,  six  of  the  body  being  chosen  in 
Oceanport  I  and  six  in  Long  Branch,  as  follows: 
Charles  Lewis,  foreman  ;  George  M.  Mnpes,  J.  A. 
Morford,  Henry  B.  Edwards,  W.  H.  Bennett,  Samnel 
Kissam,  (Jeorge  Hathaway.  Iiawren'*e  Price,  Walter 
S.  Green,  Geoige  Cook,  Timbrook  Morris,  Eugene

HoteL  when  they  accompanied  Coroner  Gugel  to 
Capt.  Edward's  house,  saw  the  body  of  young  Ver 
Meulen.  and  then,  repairing  to  the  wTeck.  exanuned 
the  ruins  and  the  bridge,  noting  carefully  the 
mode  of  operating  the  draw  and  tlie  rela- 
tive positions  of  the  track  and  the  overturned  cars. 
They  then  adjourned  to  meet  again  to-morrow  morn-

ptenas,  uj>on  officers  and  employes  of  the  Central 
liailioad.  and  many  witnesses  of  tlie  accident. 
County  Prosecutor  Lanning  promises  that  the  inves- 
tigation shall  be  sean'hing,  and  that  an  effort  will  be 
made  to  ascertain  precisely  where  the  responsibility 
for  the  terrible  accident  lies,  and  to  liold  the  offend- 
ing person  or  persons  to  strict  accountability.

cnlity,  and  wiv^  looked  upon  a«  a  decidedly  novt-l  BJcht, 
worth  goii  g  mile«  to  see.  A  ^anu  of  workmen  con- 
structed a  tjidini^jleiidinv  from  the  main  track  to  the 
side  of  the  wrecked  hwomotive.  a  switch 
was  erected,  and  everything  made  ready  for  re- 
moving the  rubbish  as  soon  as  possible.  The 
wrecking  car  hoisted  out  the  trades  and  splinters  of 
the  bntcKage  car.  and  the  debris  wa<t  HtackeU  up  at  a 
distance  f^m  the  truck.  Before  night  the  locomotive 
was  uncovered,  and  ItHjkeii  very  much  like  a  gigan- 
tic beetle  I  which  had  lost  its  legs  and  been  ttirned 
over  on  it*  back.  The  fire  was  Mtill  burning  in  the 
furnace.  The  new  track  ia  so  laid  that  the  engine 
can  be  tUted  over  directly  upon  the  mils,  and  run  off 
without  Idelay.  'I'he  passenger  c»>aches  have 
been  diamantled.  the  steps.  buffers,  and

moved. Strange  to  say  the  stoves  still  stand  in  their 
places,  Remirt'Iy  held  byihe pipes  and  floorfastenlufrs. 
The  tclass  in  the;  windows  on  the  lower  side  is  broken, 
showing  plainly  where  the  pwwengers  were  rudely 
thrown  together,  and  the  mofs  are  broken  and

to-morrow  or  Sunday,  and  by  3Ionday  uiomlng  there 
will  lie  Utile  trace  left  of  the  disaster  of  Thurwlay. 

Tlie  dlsfussion  of  the  question  of  rettponsibiHty 
continues  iht-re  and  at  Ofcauport.  and  in  the  latter 
pla^-e  thejfiuinion  generally  pn-vails  that  the  little 
sail-boat  ylxeu  was  tlie  indirect  cause  of  the  acci- 
dent. It  is  thought  by  many  who  have  expressed 
their  opinions  that  Conrow,  the  bridge-tender,  Imd 
intended -Cjo  open  the  drawfor  the  boat,  but  seeing  the 
tr:dn  apnijo-ich  had   taken  in  hi.^  red  flacM  and   dis- 

E laved  tne  wiiite  one.  fnrjfettim;  meanwhile  to  throw 
ack  the  liever  and  close  the  laiche.s.  There  is  little 
belief  in  the  talk  about  a  Ioos/>  rail.  Conrow  is  not 
at  all  dittturbe<l,  to  judge  from  his  manner,  and  mani< 
festt  uo  disposition  to  evade-the  Coroner.  He  uill

the  cars  which  lie  in  the  water  without  discovi-riuK 
anytbiug.land  they  entirely  doubt  the  truth  of  the  re- 
ports. At  Oceani>ort  I  he.ird  many  persons  speaking 
of  the  accident  an  something  which  did  not  suriirise 
anv  one.  The  rate  of  spec*!  nsuallv  taken  In  cross- 
hitr  the  liridge  haK  always  provoked  criticism.  The 
trelns  never  appeared  to  slack  up  on  approacldnj; 
tiie  bridge,  but  went  whirUng  across  it  with  the 
speed  of!  the.  wind.  When  the  noise  of  the 
cars  iMunding  over  the  sleepers  was  heard  the  cause 
of  it  was  iuunediatelv  apprehended,  and  t<>  this  a p- 
prchensio^i  was  attributed  the  great  promptness  with 
wbicli  the  Oceanport  ]>eople  hastened  to  tne  relief  of 
the  passengers.  The  en:rineers  are  saiil  to  have  re- 
plied to  quesdons  about  their  ftu^ona  driving  ncrojis 
the  bridge  that  the  road  was  frequently  cut  by 
stream**,  and  that  if  they  should  slow  up  at  all  of 
them  they  coulii  never  make  their  sehttlule  lime,  and 
tiiis  they' would  have  to  do  if  they  wished  to  keep  on 
the  riglit  side  of  their  employers. 

T(ie  woundeii  are  scattered  all  over  the  country 
hereabout,  and  It  is  thoncht  many  of  tho.^o  wlio  ari"

Several  packages  of  personal  property,  in  sachels  and 
carpet-bags,  are  now  reported  as  missing,  and  one 
very  valuable  sachel,  containing  jewelry,  which  was 
left  on  the  bridge  while  the  wounded  were  being  re- 
moved, was  missed  soon  after,  and  has  not  since  been 
fonud,  altliough  the  railroad  company  have  had  a  de- 
tective looking  for  it.

One  of  the  victims  of  the  disaster,  a  resident  of

tain comijensation  for  personal  injuries  and  property 
lost.  HiH  claim  was  paid  without  debate,  and  he 
went  on  his  way  after  giving  the  company  a  release 
from  all  dalma  which  might  be  hereafter  made  on 
hia  part.  Judge  Lathrop  was  unable  to  say  what 
would  be  jthe  status  of  smts  broncht  aeainst  a  bank-

of  the  collection  of  Buch  damages  as  might  be  awarded

THE  MANHATTAN  LIBERAL  CLUB. 
An  extraordinary  scene  occurred  last  evening 
at  the  Manhattan  liberal  Club.  The  speaker  of  the 
evening,  !  William  A.  Croflfut,  delivered  a  lecttire 
entitled  '  *'I-abor  and  Capital,"  or,  "Strik- 
ing and  <  Striking  Back,"  in  the  course 
of  which  he  leaned  more  to  the  side 
of  capital  than  woa  pleasing  to  the  majority  of  his 
auditors,  ithe  latter  manifesting  their  repugnance  by 
hisses,  ironical  laughter,  and  frequent  interruptions- 
At  the  close  of  the  address  several  of  the  leading 
members  of  the  club  rose,  one  by  one,  and  solemnly 
denounced  the  utterances  of  the  speaker ;  described 
his  views  as  cold-blooded,  heartless,  and  irrational, 
and  branded  the  lecturer  himself  as  a  "reUc  of  by- 
gooe  agek,"  a  "foaai],"  and  a  "social  fiend."  At 
the  nune'time,  they  all  expressed  theh*  high  personal 
reg&rd  and  adiniratiou  for  the  man.  Hev.  C.  p.  Uo

The  conspiracy  of  car  conductors  to  "  beat 
the  punch  "  has.con  e  to  an  untimely  end,  at  least  so 
^ar  as  the  iSecond-A''  'enue  Line  is  concerned.  About 
a  dozen  of  thQ:  m(  n  have  oeen  discharged,  or  are 
hotirly  in  expecialtlon  of  arraignment  and  prosecu- 
tion. An'individua  ki^wn  as  McFherson,  who  was 
dismissodi  from  thi  Colt  Manufacturing  Company, 
(the  makers  of  the  1  «ll-punch,}  has  been  operating  in 
Philadeipnia  and  N<  w-York  for  nearly  a  year  past, 
and  has  formed  j  "  r  ngS  "  of  conductors,  who  have 
since  been  "  workin  5"  the  Broadway  and  University- 
Place  and  the  Secos  d- Avenue  Roads  in  this  City,  and 
the  Atlaiitic-Avenu  3  Soad  in  Brooklyn.  McPher-

ductor when  he  re  celved  a  fare  pushed  the  trip

bell,  at  this  same  tin  le  taking  good  care  not  to  cut  the

to  correspond  wit  li  |the  holes  actually  cut  in 
the  trip  slip.  The  ;hieves  did  their  best  business  on 
the  Broadway  and  University-place  Railroad,  from 
the  fact  that  many  5f  the  passengers,  such  as  ladies 
shopping  and  other .,  Irfivel  out  short  distances.  Mc- 
Pherson'sj  prieci  for  oommtinicatine  the  secret  of 
picking  the  combine  tion  was  usually  a  royalty  of  $5 
per  week  on  all  stei:  lings.  As  there  were  about  10 
tonductors  In  the  "  ring "  on  each  road,  the  dis- 
charged mechanic's  income  was  quite  a  comfortable 
one.         I      I  .  i  ' 

The  conductor's  '  ring "  was  first  formed  on  the 
Second  a%[enue  Koal  only  about  a  month  ago,  and  ac- 
cording; to  the  Atati^mepts  of  the  officials  the  total

which  is  fully  covered  bv  the  amount 
of  each  Icondiictoi's' deposit  on  entering  the  com-

He  was  invited  by  a  committee  of  life  insurance

identi&ed  by  Mr.  Sholtz  as  those  in  which  the 
books  of  thie  Auditor  were  placed.  He  recog- 
nized thorn!  bv  certain  marlcs  he  had  placed

the  wood,  number  one  having  one  indentation, 
and  on  on  to  number  four.  No  trace  of  number 
five  was  foujnd.  Number  four  was  apparently 
partly  filled,  number  two  was  evidently  empty, 
and  numbers  one  and  three  were  heavy

that  ne  had  evidence  that  these  boxes  were 
taken  from  the  Auditor's  oflice  to  that  of  United 
States  Marshal  Pitkin,  and' thence  to  the  cock- 
loft, wlierei  they  had  been  tampered  with  and  a 
part  of  tlieir  contents  taken  away,  aud  that  the 
missing  box,  Number  5,  contained  the  coupons.

THE  TWENTIETH  DISTRICT 

FEDIOtAI.  OFFICE-HOLDERS,  MEVBEBS  OF  THE 
ASSOCIATION,  SEND  IN  THEIB  KESIGNA- 
TIOKS  —  ACTION  POSTPOKED  UNTIL  A 
FUTURE  MEETING. 
The  Twentieth  Assembly  District  Republican 
Association  held  its  regular  monthly  meeting  Itist 
evening  at  Brevoort  HaU,  flfty-fourth-street,  near 
Third-avenue,  ex-Judge  Ahram  J.  Dittenhoefer,  the 
President,  in  the  chair.  The  most  important  part  of 
the  proceedings  was  the  reception  of  resigna- 
tions of  members  of  the  association  holding  office 
under  the  National  Government,  in  obedi- 
ence to  the  civil  service  order  of  President  Hayes. 
There  are  over  900  members  tn  the  association,  and 
of  that  number  about  100  of  its  most  active  .spirits 
in  political  campaigns,  and  especially  on  election 
days,  are  men  who  bold  offices  in  the  Custom-house 
and  Post.  OfBce.  The  Democratic  Party  is  very  pow- 
erful in  the  district,  hut  has  been  defeated  in  several 
well-contested  elections  hy  the  energetic  action  of 
the  Republican  "machine."  It  is  in  this  district 
that  the  Republicanft,  o^inst  considerable'  odds,  in 
the  last  five  years  have  elected  Severn  D.  Moultou, 
Jacob  Hess  and  Frederick  P.  Englehardt  to  the  As- 
sembly. The  enforced  removal  of  the  oflSco-holders 
from  the  arena  of  active  politics  threatens,  In  the 
opinion  of  many  Republicans  of  this  quarter  of  the 
City,  to  make  a  Democratic  victory  in  the  local  elec- 
tion next  Fall  much  more  probable  than  It  would 
otherwise  have  been.    At  the  meeting  last  evening  a 

liltbf  the  members  of  the  association  who  have  re- 
signed on  account  of  their  holding  ofBce  under  the 
National  flovemment  was  received,  as  follows  :

\THE  CONDITION  OF  "MRS."  HOLMES. 
"  Mrs."  Holmes,  alias  Miss  Frances  J,  Hen- 
derson, the  woman  who  was  so  murderously  assaulted 
last  Monday  evening  by  Thomas  Henry  Clark,  was  last 
night  in  au  easy  condition.  Drs.  C.  E.  Bruce  and  James 
W.  Bowden,  who  trephined  Miss  Henderson's  skull, 
say  that  they  will  be  surprised  if  she  recovers,  but 
they  hope  she  will.  Tho  operation  removed  a  Uttle 
more  than  a  square  inch  of  the  l>oue.  and  the  wound 
Is  kept  carefiilly  open.  No  traco  has  been  found  of 
Clark.  The  Police  have  not  been  able  to  get 
a  single  clue  as  to  his  whereabouts.  They  say  that 
he  islield  in  such  discredit  among  all  his  acoiiaint- 
ances  that  he  cannot  possibly  have  a  hiding-place  in 
this  City,  and  that  if  he  has  not  drowned  himself  he 
must  have  fled.  ^^^^

at  the  hoteh  and  learned  that  there  was  a  Mr.  Fer- 
gtison  boarding  there,  but  he  was  an  old  gentleman, 
and  not  the  person  sought.  As  no  other  person  of 
the  same  name  was  known  at  the  hotel.  Van  Cott 
came  to  the  conclu-ion  that  he  had  been  swindled, 
and  he  accordingly  invoked  the  aid  of  uhe  Police  at 
the  Central  Office,  aud  young  Mr.  Fergaaon  la  being 
hunted  up.

THINKS  THE  JURY  WAS  INSANE. 

The.  Chicago  Post  prints  the  results  of  s  brief 
Interview  with  Prof.  Kke.  the  slayer  of  S.  Sr  Jones, 
who  has  Just  been  acquitted  on  the  ground  of  insan- 
ity. To  the  question  whether  he  was  satisfied  with 
the  verdict.  Pike  said:  "■Well,  t  should  have  pre. 
ferred  it  would  have  been  something  different.  In 
fact,  the  plea  of  Insanity  was  not  my  choosing.  I 
wanted  all  the  facts  as  they  were  to  be  brought  out, 
and  a  verdict  rendered  in  regard  to  them,  hut  my 
lawyer  and  friends  thought  differently,  and  so  I 
stood  like  a  sheep  before  its  shearers  and  let  them  go 
ahead.    It  was  the  jury  that  was  Insane  and  not  me." 

"  What  do  vou  propose  to  do  with  yourself  when 
youjpet  out  to  Elgin  f" 

"  Oh.  I  shall  j!o  on  with  my  wojk.  The  world 
shall  hear  from  me  yA,  I  propose  to  keep  np  my 
Btudjing  and  writing,  and  I  want  to  make  arrange- 
ments with  gome  paper  or  publication  to  mve  my, 
views  to  the  world."  • 

The  Professor,  after  again  denying  that  he  was  at 
all  insane,  proceeded  to  tell  oOii"  dreams  and  fan- 
cies. One  night  about  two  'vffeks  ago  a  'voice  told 
him  thnt  he  should  be  tried  on  a  Mondav.  He  asked 
his  attorneys  about  it,  and  they  told  Kim  that  the 
case  was  set  for  -Tuesday,  and  that  the  spirits 
had  lied  to  him.  Tuesday  came,  and  the 
Brooks  trial  caused  a  postponement  to  TTiursday.  His 
fellow -prisoners  lauKtied  at  his  dream,  but  the  case 
went  over  till  Monday  after  all,  so  that  his  dream, 
like  the  others  he  had.  came  true.  He  had  been 
made  so  much  fun  of  and  so  misrepresented  that  as 
srjon  as  he  had  leisure  he  was  eoing  to  write  an  auto- 
biography to  set  himself  ri«ht  before  the  world.  He 
further  informed  his  questioner  that  although  spirits 
from  the  other  world  r^me  to  him  often,  yet  the 
spirit  of  the  man  he  had  murdered  never  bothered 
hnn.  He  never  worried  nor  thought  about  hiiX  and 
held  no  communication  with  him  whatever. 


ALLEGED  PEIUVRT  IN  A  DIVORCE  SV IT. 
Andrew  Coonradt  was  arraigned  before  Jus- 
tice Wandell  yesterday  morning,  in  Jefferson  Market 
Pohce  Court,  on  a  charge  of  nerjury  in  the  suit  of 
Mrs.  Eliza  Winchell  for  a  divorce  from  Ren- 
selaer  B.  Winchell.  This  suit  is  counter  to  one 
brought  by  her  husband  against  her.  Both 
suits  are  based  on  allegations  of  adultcrj*. 
On  behalf  of  Mrs.  WiuchelL  Coonradt  lately  swore 
that  he  went  with^er  husband  la  August  or'Septera- 
V-r.  1872,  to  Downs'  Hotel,  on  Broadway 
and  One  Hundred  aud  Third-street,  and  that  there 
Wmcbell  waj?  improperly  famiHar  with  a  girl. 
This  testimony  was  given  before  a  Referee  on  the

Fkidat,  Ang.  10— P.  M. 

Speculation^  on  tho  Stock  Exchange  to- 
^Y  was  characterized  by  extreme  dullness,  the 
business  being  limited  iuvoltime  aiMltheflucttia' 
tious  confined  within  narrow  limits.  In  the 
early  dealings  the  market  was  rather  weak, 
especially  for  the  coal  shares,  which  recorded  a 
deeline  ranging  from  13  to  1  ^  cent.  The 
trunk  line  shares,  however,  were  firm,  as  were 
sdso  the  Western  roads,  including  the  Granger 
stocks,  and  the  strength  developed  by  these  im- 
parted itself  to  the  general  market  and  pro- 
duced an  improvement  in  the  entire  list,  the  ad- 
vance ranging  from  I4  to  2  1?  cent.  At  the 
close  prices  showed  a  reaction  of  _  ig  to  I2  ^?' 
cent,  frora  the  highest  point. 

The  action  of  the  Joint  Committee  appointed 
hy  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  an4  the  Western 
Union  Telegraph  Companies  will  be  awaited 
with  much  interest,  not  only  bv -speculators  on 
Wall-street,  but  by  the  genera!  pubUc  The 
prevailing  impression  is  that  while  a  continua- 
tion of  the  present  low  rates  o^  telegraphy  is  a 
decided  advantage  to  those  Who  do  business 
over  the  wires,  it, is,  nevertheless,  only  fair 
and  proper  that  the  rival  companies  should 
agree  opon  some  basis  of  harmonious  working 
whereby  they  would  not  only  be  saved  from  ac- 
tual loss,  bnt  would  be  enaUed  -to  afford  their 
stockholders  a  just  return  on  their  capital  It 
is  to  be  hoped  that  the  csmmittae,  in  discussing 
the  matters  to  be  submitted  to  them,  will  be  in- 
fluenced solely  by  a  desire  to  promote  the  Inter- 
eats  of  the  companies  they  represent,  and  that 
none  of  its  members  will  allow  3iis  action  to  be 
guided  by  considerationa  arising  out  of  his 
speculative  position  on  the  stoc^  market.

H£B,  AND  AI«SO  RELIEVS8  EDC  OF  HONEY 

AND  HOUSEHOLD  GOODS— A  SUIT  FOR  SE- 

I        DUCTOON  AND  GRAND  LABCENT. 

The  Bocial  nations  of  Charles  Heydtm&n  and 

¥«ter  Schmidt,  wMch  yesterday  cxUminated  in  the 

•irett  of  the  \Litter,  hi  hoth  a  crmdnal  and  cItH  oc- 

tknii  preaeDt  many  Interesting  complications.  Heydt- 

XEUtn;  who  is  a  iTfiU-to-do  German  Profossor,  had  been 

Hving  happily  \wlth  his  wife  Christine  at  No.   309 

I  i<inth-8tx«et,  when,  in  1376,  he  became  acquainted 

With  Feter  Schmidt,    another   well-to-do   German, 

phonz.he  introdoced  in  his  family,  and  whom  he  used 
|lo  visit  himself  qnite  often,  "^he  aeqnalntanoeehlp 
eontisni'd  ontll  Schnddt  became  quite  intimate,  so 
lntimate-,indeed  that,  it  Is  allleged,  Schmidt  be^an  to 
visit  Kr8»  Herdtman  dming  her  husband's  absence 
tn  the  ewekunc,  remaining  for  some  hours.  He 
■trove  dur^'g  tliese  visits  to  persuade  the  lad7 
that  she  was  "  too  noble  a  woman "  for  snch 
ft  man  as  her^  hosb&nd,  and  endeavoring  to  wean 
her  aifections  fiiom,her  hnsband,  began  to  plead  his 

■'own  love  for  her.  tJiilllng  her  on  une  occasion,  so  it  is 
claimed  by  a  servant  who  overheard  their  various 
vonrersatiohs,  thwt  he  lud  been  told  by  a  fortune 
teller  that  he  wouJd  marry  a  blonde,  addmg  that  sho 
:<l&rs.  Heydtman)  was  the  one.  He  progressed  bo 
favorably  in  Mrs^  .  Heydtmann'sl  good  graces  that 
he  soon  began  to  an»nge  for  an  elbpement.  At  this 
dme  Hevotman  had  deposited  lin  the  Germania 
Bavines  Sank  SS.STJ^-in  the  joint  interest  of  himself 
and  his  wiftN  tojijethor  with  $4,OO0  doposlted  in  the 
same  bank  In  his  wife's  maiden  nai  ae,  and  a  mortgage 
for  ^I,'200  on  a  house  and  lot  in  fast  One  Hundred 
and  Twelfth -street. 

Learning  of  this  fact,  Schmidt  perraaded  Mrs. 
Hevdtman  to  indoco'  her  hnsband  to  put  the  deposit 
of  $2,878  in  her  own  name  Bolely  He  then  went  to 
Beydtman,  and,  stattng  that  he  1:  ad  heard  that  ho 
had  money  deposited  in  the  savizun  bank,  said  that 
they  were  very  unsafe  then,  and  v  ere  bursting  every- 
day. He  added  that  the  onlv  aifo  investment  Ini 
these  times  was  first  bond  ami  mirt?n?e  liens,  and 
sftid  that  ho  bad  a  friend  who  hod  a  house  and  lot'  on 
Second -ftTenue,  on  which  h«  wanted  a  loan 
of  $8.000.  for  which  he  would  give  a 
irst       bond       and        mortcage        as        security. 

.-"Heydtman.  deceived  by  Schmidt's  apparent  sincerity, 
agreed  to  advance  the  money,  provided  any  one  could 
|>o  got  who  would   cash  his   own  ;$l.-00   mortgage. 
Brhmidt  said  he  would  do   so   MmSelf.  and   advanced 
the  money,  receiving  therefor  an  -assignment  on  the 
property.    AH  this    time    the    preparations   for  the  ^ 
elopement  were  going  on,  and  on   Sept.    23,  a  few 
days  after  the.above  transaction,   during  H^dtman's  • 
Sbbsence  on    business,   Schmidt  and    Mrs.  Heydtman 
sailed  for  Europe,  the  woman  taking  with  her  cloth- 1 
ing,  a  sewing-machine,   pictures,  the  bank  deposits, 
And  the  $1,200  that    Schmidt  had    fdven    for  tho  ' 
mortgage  on  Uie  One  Hundred  and  Twelfth-street 
'honse. 

Heydtman  having  discovered  the  flight  of  his  wife, 
made  a  dllii;ent  search  for   both  her  and  her  lover, 
but  did  not  succeed  in  finding  them  until  June  15,  ' 
when  he  lenmed  that  they  had  returned  from  Europe, 
ftnd  wei-e  living  together  at  No.  330  Ninth-street,  a 
Cew  doors  from  his  own  honse.    He    immediately  ■ 
commenced  suit  for  damages  for  the   seduction,  and 
caused  Schmidt's  arre«t  by  Deputy   Sheriff  O'Beme. 
.Yesterday  another  charge   of  grand   larceny  was  pre- 
Jorred  by  him  against  the  prisoner  for  carrying  away 
fthe    bank    deposits    and    nousehold     goods     of    the 
■wronged  husband,   and  on  it  he  was  compelled  to 
mve  $1,500  bail  at  the  Essex  Market  Police  C^urt. 
Tie  was  also  held  in  $3,000  bail  in  the  civil  suit  for ' 
dam^es.

I  On  July  24  a  man  entered  a  Broadway  office 
of  the  American  District  Telegraph  Company,  and 
hart  a  letter  sent  to  Mrs.  Gustav  A-  Rechlin,  of  No. 
140  East  Twenty-eighth-street.  The  letter  purport- 
ed to  be  signed  by  Mrs.  Bechlln's  husband,  and  di- 
rected her  to  give  the  bearer  his  dress  coat.  Mrs. 
Bechlln  gave  the  coat  as  directed,  and  the  sender  of 
the  letter  soon  after  met  the  boy  and  received  it. 
£mboIdened  by  the  success  of  bis  fir!<t  attempt,  the 
man  sent  a  second  letter  to  Mrs.  RecHlin  by  a  differ- 
ent messenger,  directing  her  to  send  him  his  Winter 
overcoat  and  walking-coat,  as  he  had  purchased  a 
new  cedar  trunk,  and  wished  to  .pack  up  his  Winter 
clothing.  When  the  messenger  boy  arrived  at  the 
^nse,  Mr.  Rechlin  was  present,  and  had.  of  course, 
been  informed  of  the  previotis  transaction.  An  at- 
tempt was  made  to  entrap  the  swindler,  but  he  man- 
aged to  escape.  Two  days  afterward,  however,  he 
wai  seen  by  one  of  the  messenger  boys  whom  he  had 
made  tooln  of,  and  handed  over  to  a  Police  officer. 
C»n  being  called  up  by  Assistant  District  Attorney

SEIZURE  '.OF  THE  lyEXifARK. 
The  steamer  Denmark,  of  the  National  Line, 
was  seized  yesterday  on  her  arrival  in  this  port  by 
ofBcers  detailed  from  the  Surveyors  ofBce.  She  was 
lUlowed  to  proceed  to-her  pier,  and  it  is  nnderatoo<l 
that  her  cargo  will  not .  be  disturbed.  The  seizure 
has  been  uuule  under  *the  authority  of  the  act  of 
1799,  whereby  the  ■'  owners  of  a  vessel  are 
held  responsible  for  smuggling  carried  on 
by-_  any  of  its  officers,  and  if  the  value  of 
the  smuggle*!  pn)perty  exceeds  $400.  the  ves!«el  is 
forfeited  to  the  (Tovemment.  The  latter  may.  how- 
ever, if  it  ciiooses,  remit  tho  forfeiture  and  impose  a 
fine  on  the  company.  The  seizure  Lu  the  present  in- 
Btance  was  made  on  the  arrival  instead  of  the  de- 
parture of  tlio  steamer,  in  order  to  give  the  officers 
of  the  line  an  opportimity  to  settle  the  case  before 
her  next  atlvertlsed  day  of  sailing.  At  the  office  of 
"the  National  Line  the  attaches  refused  to  give  any 
Information  concerning  the  ultimate  dLspositlon  of 
the  case,  though  it  is  ceneraDv  understood  that  the 
vessel  will  be  put  under  $'l'30,00i»  or  $200,000 
bonds.  Meantime  the  steamer  remains  at  her  dock 
In  charge  of  the  Government  oi&eers.

The  committee  appointed  by  the  Western 
/Cnion  Telegraph  Company,  consisting  of  William 
H.  Vanderbilt.  E.  D.  Morgan,  and  Augustus  Schell. 
•will  meet  the  committee  of  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific 
Telegraph,  comprising  Sidney  Dillon.  G.  G.  Sampson, 
and  Russell  Sage,  on  Tuesday  next,  for  the  purjKKe 
of  harmonizing  the  interests  of  the  two  corporations. 
Secretary  Chandler,  of  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific,  in- 
formed a  TiifKS  reporter  yesterday  that  the  object 
of  the  movement  was  not  consolidalion.  btxt  simply 
the  adoption  of  such  a  basis  of  rates  as  would  Insure 
a  reasonable  degree  of  profit  to  bf>th  companies  and 
do  away  with  the  present  hnnecessary  and  wasteful 
competition  bet^veen  them.  One  of  the  schemes 
proposed  comprehends  the  pooling  of  the  eaminps  of 
both  companies,  with  a  division  of  80  per  cent,  to 
the  Western  Union  and  20  percent,  to  the  Atlantic 
andPacitic.  At  the  oflQce  of  the  Western  Union  the 
officials  refused  to  say  anythmg  definite  concerning 
the  matter. 


rOZTXD  DEAD  /JV  BJS  ROOM. 

The  store  of  Henry  Cross,  jewelerand  watch- 
toaker,  at  No.  454  Hudson-street,  was  not  opened 
during  Thursday  nor  yesterday  morning.  As  Cross, 
whose  bed-room  is  at  the  rear  of  the  store,  did  not 
appear  in  the  meantime,  the  neighbors,  fearing  that 
«ome  harm  bad  befallen  him,  reported  his  absence  to 
the  Police.  Detectives  Noble  and  Flannagan  went  to 
the  store  and  broke  into  it  at 'the  rear.  The  rooms 
were  stiffocating,  no  air  having  been  admitted  to 
them  for  36  hours.  Upon  the  floor  behind  the  coun- 
ter the  officers  found  the  body  of  Cross,  who  had  ap- 
parently died  shortly  after  closing  his  store  on 
Wednesday  night.  He  had  disrobed  and.  it  seems,  was 
about  to  lie  down  upon  a  blanket  for  the  night  when 
death  overtook  him.  Tlie  oflScers  looked  through 
the  rooms  and  satisfied  themselves  that  Cross  had 
died  from  a  natnral  cause.  His  scanty  stock  of 
cheap  jewelry  was  intact,  and  a  number  of 
watches  left  with  him  to  be  repaired  were 
liangiu"-  upon  a  rack.  Cross  lived  alone.  No  trace 
of  relatives  could  be  found  oy  the  detectives.  He 
was  apparentlv  an  English  Hebrew,  about  60  years 
of  ageT  He  had  only  kept  the  store  wherein  he  died 
for  about  fire  months.  For  several  years  previous 
to  that  time  he  kept  a  store  In  Seventh-avenue,  be- 
tween Eleventh  and  Twelfth  streets.  His  conduct 
while  there,  the  neighbors  sav,  was  scandalous,  par- 
ticularly bis  actions  toward  children.  The  sentiment 
of  the  people  grew  so  violent  against  him  that  he  was 
eompefied  to  move  his  business.  Coroner  Croker 
viewed  the  body  yesterday  afternoon,  and_  Deputy 
Coroner  MacWhinnie  made  a  post  mortem  examina- 
tion, which  resulted  in  the  discovery  that  Cross  died 
cf  heart  disease.

gambling  hells  upon  the  north-east  and  soutl -east 
comers  of  Bowery  and  Grand  street,  and  No.  237 
Orand-street,  but  the  proprietors  were  too  cm  ning 
for  him.  Finally  the  Captain-determined  to' tear 
down  the  walls  rather  than  again  fall,  and  on  Thurs- 
day night  he  started  out  with  31i  men,  a  med 
with  a  lot  of  burglars*  tools  ^  hlch

by  Capt.  Foley  and  Special  Offlcers  McGowan  and 
Welsh,  At  10:30  the  attack  was  made  at  the  hree 
places  simultaneonsly,  doors  and  windows  crere 
burst  open,  and  the  officers  entered  so  j  suddenly  that 
the  inmates  could  not  escape,  and  had  no  tii  le  to 
hide  the  evidence  of  guilt.  Capt.  Folejy  and  hi  i  de- 
tochment  captured  Cornelius  DantA,  I  the  supj  osed 
proprietor  of  the  lower  cgmer  of  Grand-strec  t,  to^

As  the  officers  entered,  the  t^ble  was  bun  ledly 
cleared  and  everything  hustled  into  a  safe,  ^  'hlch 
was  locked  and  the  key  thrown  away.  The  safi  and 
everything  in  the  room  were  carried  ^o  the  stj  tion- 
house.  In  the  room  on  the  opposite  comer  Pro<3  erick

The  property  captured  here  included  about  300  cbips 
and  a  large  Saratoga  trunk,  used  instead  of  a  sal^. 
At  No.  236  Grand-street  Richard, McManus,  thi  sup- 
posed proprietor,  and  William  Brown,  No.  25  Bond-

complete  were  captured-  In  this  place  onlk'  was 
any  money  secured.  It  consisted  of  silver  [coins 
to  the  amount  of  .^S  or  $9.  The  men  grabbed  riU  the 
bills  and  pocketed  them  befoVe  the  officers  could  see 
pt>sitively  where  they  were  taken  from.  Thiwplace 
was  in  charge  of  Officer  McGowan.  who,  befo^  the 
attack  was  made,  climbed  to  the  window  by  a  bidder 
and  saw  where  all  the  articles  were  hidden  Tfhen  the 
alarm  was  taken.  J 

Yesterday  all  the  parties  were  taken  before  Justice 
Kilbreth.  in  the  Essex-Market  Court.  The  three  al- 
leged proprietors  were  required  to  give  .$1.0<K)  ball 
each,  the  others  being  discharged  for  lack  of  suf- 
ficient evidence.  Cornelius  Banta  was  represented 
by  counsel,  who  made  a  desperate  effort  toj  ^how 
that  he  was  not  in  any  way  connected  with  tha  place 
as  proprietor.  Justice  Kilbreth,  however,  deemed 
Banta's  own  evidence  sufficient.  He  said  he^jfras  an 
upholsterer  by  trade,  but  had  not  worked  forjabout 
811  months  ;  that  he  visited  the  gnmbling-rooini  three 
or  four  times  a  week  "to  look  on."  1^  said pe  did

that  he  supported  his  family  on  what  money  he  had.

SriK-  WE  A  FEUS  OX  STRIKE^ 

ONE  HUNDRED  AST)  SIXTY  GIRLS  QUIT  VORK 
IN  THIS  CITY— REDUCTION  IN  WAGE  J  THE 
CAUSE. 
About  160  girls  who  have  beenengagsd  as 
weavers  in  the  silk  manufactory  of  Messrs.  Jc  hn  N. 
Steams  &  Co.,  Forty-second-street  near  Thii  d-ave- 
nue,  were  informed  on  We<lnesday  last  tha  their 
wages  thereafter  would  be  reduced  from  12  1 1  nine 
cents  a  yard  for  their  work.  This,  the  prop  -ietors 
said,  was  rendered  necessary  by  the  dullness  jt  the 
times  and  the  general  depresxion  in  nea:  Iv  all 
branches  of  trade.  A  similar  reduction  he  S  been 
made  in  all  the  large  nianufactori  >s  at 
Patcrson,  N.  J.,  where  most  of  the  ptlr.cipal 
silk  factories  are  situated,  and  it  was  found  neces- 
sary here  to  conform  to  the  same  rates.  Th  s  girls, 
after  a  short  consultation,  decided  to  strike.  With- 
out any  demonstration  they  quietly  left  the  estab- 
lishment, and  up  to  last  evenini;  there  was  no  ihange 
in  the  situation.  When  the  weavers  stop  i  ork  it 
disarranges  all  the  rest  of  the  depart  nents, 
and  the  Superintendent  found  it  net  essarj' 
to  clofte  the  buiMing.  In  an  int  arN-iew 
with  the  book-keeperl  of  the  firm  la.-tt 
evening,  that  gentleman  informed  Tkb  Tix  B8  re- 
porter that  no  concessions  wonld  be  made  to  the 
girls,  and  he  expressed  the  opinion  that  they  would 
soon  return  to  work  on  the  terras  nroposed     Tt.e 

S'rls  struck  once  before,  in  1873,  and  only  remained 
le  one  week.  As  the  times  were  mucli  duller  now, 
and  the  depression  in  all  branrhes  of  business  so 
much  greater,  it  was  thought  that  the  strikers  wonld 
find  it  ImposBihIe  to  eet  other  work,  and  they  wotild 
net-essarily  return  to  their  old  situations,  which  still 
remained  open  to  them.  No  hard  feelings  existed, 
and  none  of  the  other  employes  were  dlsposedjto  Join 
in  the  refusal  to  work.  The  terms  propose^  would 
enable  the  girbi  to  make,  on  an  average,  about  §8 
per  week,  and  the  firm  wi.s  not  justified,  juitnow, 
m  pajing  more. 

The  strike  has  been  the  cause  of  also  throw  ng  out 
of  employment  about  60  hands,  men  and  gir  ?.  who 
liftve  oeen  engaged  at  the  <jlyeing  factory  belor  fing  to

On  calling  at  the  latter  establishment  yeste -day.  a 
Times  reiwrter  foun'l  it  closed  and  under  the  charge 
of  a  watchman.  Inijulry  elicited  the  fact  thi  t  there 
was     no     disposition     to  i  strike    among     tie    em- 

loyes,  and  they  had  ceased  work  only 
lause  tliere  was  io  material  for  them 
to  work  upon.  The  silk  which  Is  s  mn  at

a  dyeing  process,  nnd  is  wound  npon  spools  and  re- 
turned to  llie  New-York  establishment  to  be  woven. 
The  stoppage  of  work  by  tlie  weavfirs  has  r  »ndero<l 
necessary  a  temporarv  suspension  at  the  dy  Ing  es- 
tablishment. TTiere  has  been  no  reduction  in  the 
waees  of  the  hands  eniplijjred  at  the  branch  actory, 
and  there  has  been  ni>  disposition  on  the  pai  t  of  the

sitions for  •'  workern"  in  the  Twenty -third  an  1  Twen-

was  requested  not  only  by  the  Tammany  Coi  imittce 
on  Organization,  but  als(>  by  a  snb-commlt  ee  who

their  nominal  adJierents  on  account  of  their  nabillty 
to  open  a  way  for  them  to  draw  stipends  rom  the 
City  Treasury,  it  was  i  decided  by  the  co  nmitteo 
that  the  Fire,  Building,  and  Finance  Depf  rtments 
siiould  yield  their  quota  of  places,  soi'^  to  b  eet  the 
demands  of  the  disappointed  Tamnwny  men  rho  had

secured  poKitions  for  their  friends  in  the  tw(  former 
departments,  and  similar  success  is  to  cro  vn  their 
efforts  to-day  so  far  as  the  Controller's  Dei  artment 
is  concerned.  In  compliance  with  their  reqi  eat,  Mr. 
Kelly  decided  to  remove  ~'S  of  his  subordinj  tes,  and 
the  list  of  the  doomed  men  Is  to  be  comph  tod  this

covered that  the  signature  of  Hatch  &  Footi ,  as  well 
as  that  of  the  Cashier,  were  all  forgeries.  On  mak-

naturally  of  a  strong-minded  disposition,  she  oc- 
casionally gives  expression  to  her  sentiments  by 
donning  male  attire.  Her  husband,  the  '-Doctor," 
Is  publisher  of  a  small  sneet  which  advocates 
woman's  rights  and  reform  in  women's  dress- 
Mrs.  Tom.Ri-Jon  acts  as  general  newsdealer  and  news 
agent  for  her  husband,  and  parades  the  streets  in  a 
handsome  tweed  suit.  There  is  another  lady,  it 
seems,  whose  opinions  coincide  somewhat  with  those 
of  Mrs,  Tom-Ri-Jon  Her  name  is  Minnie  Merton, 
she  is  somewhat  advanced  in  years,  and,  fortunately 
lor  unfortuE  ately,  aa  the  case  may  be,  has  nqver  been 
joined  in  w<  »dlock.  She  possesses  a  large  farm  in  the 
interior  of  Long  Island,  and  by  some  means  or  other 
hearing  of  Mrs.  Tom-Ri-Jon,  and  the  strong 
ideas  of  reijorm  in  female  dress  which  she  was  said 
to  dissemtn  Ue,  and  which  agreed  in  every  way  with 
her  own,  slje  immediately  laid  down  the  plowshare 
at  which  she  had  been  toiling,  and  came  to  New- 
York  to  see' Mrs.  Tom-Rl  .lonl  On  the  26th  of  last 
month,  being  footsore  and  wear>*  after  her  journey, 
she  called  at  the  residence  of  the  "Doctor,"  and 

inquired  how  and  when  she  could  have  a  suit  of 
clothes  made  similar  in  stvle  and  material  to  those 
worn  by  ;  his  wife.  -  Mr.  Tom-Ri.Jon  said  that  his 
wife  was  not  at  home  at  the  time,  but  that  If  the 
lady  would  wait  for  some  little  tiine  his  wife  would 
probuldy  return,  and  tell  her  bow  and  where  to  get 
the  suit.  Minnie  waited  patiently  for  an  hour  or  so, 
and  when  Mrs.  Tom-Ri-Jon  came  back  it  "was  finally 
agreed  between  the  parties  that  the  latter  should 
make  the  suit.  Nothing  was  said  about  the  price, 
the  only  point  at  issue  between  them — something 
trivial  in  itself,  but  of  serious  import  to  Miss  Merton — 
was  that  the  latter  required  the  pantaloons  made  in 
spring-bottomed  style, ^  but  Mrs.  Tom-Ri-Jon  would 
not  by  any  means  consent  to  this  Innovation  on  her 
style  of  malting  up  goods.  The  matter  was  settled 
amicably,  however,  and  Mts:^  Merton  concluded  that 
she  would  stay  and  board  wikh  the  family  until  the 
suit  was  fl.nished. 

But  it  seems  that  Minnie's  stay  in  the  house,  how- 
ever  i^^'eable  it  may  have  I  been  to  herself  was  not 
at  till  pleasing  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tom-Ri-Jon,  The 
*■  Doctor  "I  says  that  Minnie  occupied  all  her  time, 
morning,  noon,  and  night,  discoursing  upou  the  doc- 
trine of  free-love,  of  whit-h  she  was  a  prominent  dis- 
cipie,  and  by  this  means  corrupting  not  only  the  mor- 
als of  himself  and  wife,  but  of  his  family.  The  even- 
ing before  last  the  affair  came  to  a  climax, 
by  Minnie  leaving  tiie !  house,  taking  away 
the  suit  of  cloiljes,  and  neither  paying  for  her 
newlv-made  suit  nor  her  board  during  her  stay  at 
Mr.  Tom's  mansion.  The  "Doctor."  who  could  not 
see  things  in  this  light,  followed  up  Minnie  and  had 
her  placed  in  rather  uncomfortable  quarters  for  the 
nicht. 

Mi8S  Merton  was  Introduced  to  Justice  Smith  yes- 
terday at  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  and  upon  that 
gentleman  asking  her  what  she  hmi  to  say  for  her- 
self, replied  that  she  owed  Mr.  nnd  Mrs.  Tom-Ri**Ton 
nothing.  She  added  that  while  in  the  house  she  per- 
formed varinns  household  functions — wa.shing-dl«he» 
and  the  like — and  she  conirtdered  that  ■  the  Bervlftfii 
thus  rendered  were  more  than  equiva  ent  to  the 
price  of  her  clothes  and  board.  The  court  inquired 
of  Minnie  if  she  had  over  lived  In  a  iree-love  commu- 
nity, 'if  she  was  a  free-lover,  and  what  was 
her  idea  iq  changins;  her  usual  style  of 
dress.  Minnie,  lawyer-like,  renlled  sharply  that 
she  thoueht  snch  questions  totally  irrelevant  to  the 
point  at  issue.  Justice  .Smith  was  of  the  opinion  that 
Minnie  did  n(^t  owe  Mr.  or  Mrs.  Tora-Ri-Jon  any- 
thing, nor  did  |Mr.  or  ilrs.  Tora-Ri-.Ion  owe  Minnie 
anything,  at  the  same  time  tcllini;  Miss  Merton  that 
if  she  felt  aggrieved  in  any  way.  or  wanted  to  recover 
the  clothes,  she  could  only  do  so  by  a  civil  process. 
Minni^  was  of;  the  opinion  that  they  were  making  a 
mouuudn  out  of  a  mole-hill,  and  wound  up  by  sayluR 
that  she  would  make  Mr.  Tom-Bi-Jon  a  present  of 
the  suit. 

Mrs.  Tom-Ri-Jon  came  into  court  attired  in  a  light 
tweed  coat,  dark  vest,  and  pants  of  material  some- 
what similar  tf>  the  coat.  While  In  court  she  was  the 
centre  of  attraction,  her  gait  and  bearing  being  in 
Btriking!contmst  to  her  drowsy-looking  husband. 

I  THE  GUNSER  MURDER. 
FIGHT  AT  AN   EAST   WILLI-AMSBTTRQ   CHimCH 
PICNIC — ONE   MAN  SERIOUSLY   INJURED — 
HIS  ANTE-MORTEM  STATEMEN'T. 

The  people  of  En.st  "WllUamsburg  are  divided 
on  the  qnestio]!  of  "  Who  killed  John  Gunser }"  and 
it  has  given  rise  to  snch  bitter  feeling  that  at  the 
picnic  of  the  East  Williamsburg  Lutheran  Church, 
Rev.  Louis  Etitner.  Pastor,  on  Wednesday,  the  two 
parties  came  together  and  fought  a  pitched  battle  in 
the  grove  on  Fresh  Pond  road.  Several  persons  re- 
ceived slight  injuries,  and  Qeorge  Schmelzer,  an 
ardent  defender  of  Mrs.  Gunser,  such  serious  ones, 
that  his  life  is  despaired  of.  On  Thursday  Justice 
Marshall  took  his  ante-mortem  depo.'iition.  In  sub- 
stance, as  follows: 

■'  While  at  the  picnic  I  took  part  In  the  (teneral  con- 
versation which  waK  nearlv  all  confined  to  the  murder 
of  .iohn  (.hinspr.  and  who  did  It.  I  malntfdned  that  the 
barber  Idllcfl  hlim.  and  1  M*an  bfst4-'n  for  It ;  the  'inIy  man 
thnt  1  saw  Btrlke  me  was  Ueortre  Han^mann.  Ho 
kn'"-ke<^  me  down,  and  I  heanl  some  om-  »ny,  aa  I  fell, 
'kill  him.'  When  down  1  wbj»  struck  aKu^n.  but  lO'itne 
coiiM-lousnesa,  can  tell  nothing  of  what  happened 
f lusher.  V  i 

Schmeieer  w  as  remnvc<l  from  the  picnic  grounds  to 
Mrs.  Gunisers  residence  until  monilng.  and  was  then 
taken  fjome.  about  '-(H)  y.-.riLs  westward.  An  eye- 
witness who  <1  escribes  the  tlji)it  said  it  was  the  most 
bitter  conflict  that  has  ever  taken  pLicc  i»  the  villnKC. 
At  the  picnic  everWbini;  passed  off  plcmantly  until 
this  skeleton  vns  tlirustinto  the  festivities,  nnd  from 
that  moment  harmony  w.is  lost.  The  church  people 
and  their  friends  sepamted  into  two  factions — the 
GuoRerparty  and  the  Mi«'hel  party — the  latter  being 
in  the  majority.  The  first  faction  insists  that  Michel 
Is  the  murderer,  and  the  second  that  Mrs.  Gunser 
killed  her  hui^bnnd.  On  this  issue  the  wonJy  battle 
was  maintaiiied  until  almnt  7  o'clock  in  the  evening. 
after  wjhlch  the  feeling  ran  higher  and  a  fight  c(mi- 
menced  between  Hansmnnn  nnd  Schmoizer,  in  which 
some  20  or  30  joined,  and  when  it  ended  Schmoizer 
was  left  lying  «n  the  ground  bathed  in  blood  from 
cuts  or|  his  bend  nnd  fwe.  the  other  participants  ac- 
cepting as  their  punishment  during  the  fracas  con. 
tusions,  hlsrk  even,  and  bloody  noses.  The  nicnlo 
broke  up  witli  the  flzht,  and  while  one  party  went  off 
boastiag  that!  Michel  would  be  released  in  the  morn- 
ing the  other  party  took  Hchmeizer  up  on  a  shutter 
and  carried  him  to  Mrs.  Gunser's  hotel. 


A  BOLD  COSFIDE.VCE  GAME. 
Prederico  Tuentcs,  a  resident  of  La  Paz,  in 
the  Republic  of  Bolivia,  arrived  In  this  City  on  June 
4  last  in  tbe  steamship  City  of  Chester,  from  Liver- 
pool, bringirg  with  him  a  number  of  trunks  con- 
taining jewelry  and  other  valuable  articles,  wliich  he 
intended  to  tpke  with  him  to  South  America,  after  a 
brief  sojourn  in  the  Sletropolis.  Tuentcs,  who  was 
unable  to  speak  English  and  was  ignorant  of  the 
laws  of  this  countrj'.  was  met  on  .  the 
landing  upon  his  arrival  by  Victor  Allain,  who 
statedT  to  him  in  French  that  he  [Allain  J 
was  an  Interpreter  for  the  hotel  he   [Tnentes]   was 

?oine  to,  ana  also  an  as;ent  for  the  rlrie  Railroad 
Company,  and  then  informed  him  that  it  would  bo 
necesskrj-  fo^  him  to  pay  i^l.TOOCustomsduty  on  the 
goods  he  had!  brought  in  the  trunks,  and  volunteered 
to  pay  the  duty  If  he  would  give  him  the  money. 
Believing  Al^am's  representations,  Tnentes  advanced 
the  money,  whereupon  Allain  told  him  he  "could  go 
to  his  hotel  and  It  would  be  all  right."  Some  10  days 
ago  Allain  again  presented  himself  to  Tueutes,  and 
saying,  "  I  &ive  saved  you  about  $300,"  demanded 
that  he  should  be  paid  that  amount,  either 
in  cash  Or  in  merchandise.  The  demand 
was  not..complied  with,  and  Tuentes  having  dis- 
covered that  Allain's  representations  that  duty  would 
have  to  be  paid  were  false,  and  having  ascer- 
tained that  he  had  appropriated  the  $1,700  to  his 
own  use,  commenced  a  civ£l  stut  agaipst  him  for  the 
recovery  of  the  money.  An  order  of  arrest  was 
Issued  in  the  suit,  and  on  Thursday  night  last  ^lain 
was  taken  into  custody  by  a  Deputy  Sheriff,  and  was 
lodged  in  Lndlow-Street  Jail  where  he  now  lies 
awaiting  trial."^

TEABS  OP  ACRIMONIOUS  CONTEST  PINAL- 
LT  E27DED  BT  A  TSfUMPH  POS  THE 
,  CITIZENS.! 
An  Important  election  was  held  in  Nyack; 
Kew-York,  on  Tuesday  last,  to  determine  whether 
the  village  inoozporation  I  should  continue  or  be  dls- 
flolvedr  The  election  waij  called  in  pursuance  of  the 
general  laiw  relating  to  incorporated  villages,  and  re- 
sulted In  favor  Of  dislnebrporation  by  a  vote  of  282 
to  71.  Thns  ends  a  long  and  angry  agitation  of  a 
question  that  haa  at  tiines  well  nigh  convulsed  the 
people  9f  Nyacki  This  village  was  incorporated  about 
five  years  ^Lgo,  by  a  vot«  quite  as  emphatic  as  the  one 
given  on  Tuesday.  It  was  believed  that  a  population 
of  5,000  souls  cpuld  be!  best  governed  under  incor- 
poration, and  sot  the  experiment  was  tried-  It  was 
not  long,  howevjpr,  before  it  was  found  an  expensive 
and  nnpoi^iilar  undertaking.  The  management  be- 
came looe^  and  profiigaie.  i  Speculations  arose  under 
pretended!  imprtivQments,  and  burdensome  taxation 
followed,  in  reti»rd"for  which  the  people  derived  lit- 
tle or  no  beneflti  Jobs  |  vrere  concocted  under  the 
familiar  gtiise  of  assesistnents  for  street  improve- 
ments, sojthat  ih  the  course  of  a  couple  of  years  not 
less  than  $50,000  was  ijio ,  hotter  than  squandered. 
Sanitary  provisions  were  little  considered,  and  Police 
regulati  n*!  practically  ignored-  In  order  to  protect 
life  and  property  aeainst  the  incursions  or  ,  river 
thieves,  private  watchmen  had  to  be  employed  by 
tbe  citizens,  notwithstanding  full  power  was  vested 
in  the  board  o  ■  officers  to  create  an  efficient  constabu- 
lary force.  In  view  of  this  state  of  things,  steps 
were  taken  nearly  two  years  ago  to  discontinue  the 
Incorporation.  An  application  was  made  to  the 
"CTustees  by  a  majority  of  the  voting  population  for 
a  special  election  to  vote  the  incorporation  out  of  ex- 
istence, but  the  board  refused,  in  the  face  of  their 
plain  duty  under  the  law.  to  order  the  election.  Re- 
cource  was  then  had  to  the  courts  for  a  mandamus, 
which  was  issued  promptly,  and  upon  the  re- 
turn of '  tbe  order  was  as  promptly  sus- 
tained. A  day  was  accordingly  fixed  for  the 
election,  whereupon  an  i  injunction  was  sued  for 
to  restrain  the  people  froik  voting,  and  on  the 'day 
appointed  for  the  vote  the  injunction  was  served. 
Dtfented  temporarily,  the  people  went  to  thecourts, 
and.  In  turn,  the  courts  dissolved  the  injunction  : 
but  for  further  delay  an  appeal  was  taken  to  the 
Court  of  Appeals.  Foreseeing  defeat,  the  principal 
adherents  of  the  incorporation  went  to  the  Legislat- 
ure of  1870  with  a  special  bill  aiming  to  de- 
prive the  people  o:  the  right  to  vote,  and  faiiins  to 
secure  the  enaotmi  nt  of  tlieir  scheme  that  year,  tney 
renewed  thi&ir  atte  npt  last  Winter  with  more  suc- 
cess. A  law;  was  passed;  making  it  impossible  sub- 
stantially to  dislnc  orporate,  but  Gov.  Robinson  de- 
clined to  approve  ;  t.  upon  the  ground  that  it  was  a 
species  of  special  Ic^slation,  and  withal  vexatious. 
(ailliig  thus  to  t  iwart  the  will  of  the  people  and 
nbridee  their  right  \.  tbe  inroporationists  surrendered, 
and  thus,  after  tw  )  years  of  arrimonlona  contest,  tbe 
matter  was  "tnd*  d  on  Tuesday  as  above  stated. 
Nyack  will  now  r<  turn  to  prst  principles,  nnd  if  any 
more'propoMitions  are  offered  tor  incorporation  the 
cost  will  first  ibu  wlell  weifjhed.

cities,  ^th  its  I  ompact  net-work  of  railroads  and 
large  indusi rial  nterests,  It  became  of  the  first  im- 
portance, not  only  to  the  peace  aud  safety  of  our  own 
people,  but  to  the  commerce  of  the  country  at  laree. 
that  all  disorder  and  lawlessness  here  should  bo  pre- 
vented or  speedily  suppressed.  The  escape  of  tno 
State  from  any  ilestniction  of  life  or  property  is 
largely  duel  to  the  presence  and  judicious  conduct  of 
the  Natipniil  Guard.  The  remarkable  promptness  of 
the  Nationjil  Guard  Is  spoken  of  In  flatterina;  terms, 
as  are  also  the  discipline  and  good  order.  The  valu- 
able services  of  Geus.  Mott.  Plume.  Perrine.  and

the  greatest  efficiency.  The  command  of  Gen.  Sewcll

been  conducted  with  great  skill  and  fidelity.

ties  of  gold  from  this  location  reached  the  City  of 
Guatemala  from  time  to  time.  Attention  came  to  be 
thus  directed  to  the  matter,  and  President  Barrios 
determined  on  a  personaV  investigation.  Taking 
with  him  Gen.  T.  B.  Bunting,  of  the  Army  of  Guate- 
mala, he  visited  the  placers  last  Spring.  The  inspec- 
tion .  of  them  wni  necessarily  somewhat  superficial, 
but  it  was  sufficient,  it  is  stated,  to  indicate 
unusual  richness.  and  an  extent  covering 
about  27  miles  square.  The  placers  were  found  to 
be  on  land  belonging  to  the  Government,  well  tim- 
bered and  water^,  near  the  .\tlantic  coast,  and  with- 
in some  10  miles  of  steam-boat  navigation.  The 
Grovemment  at  once  determined  on  steps  for  the  de- 
velopment of  this  propertv.  nnd  accordingly  Presi- 
dent Barrios  commissioned  Gen.  Bunting  to  visit  the 
I'nited  States,  and  if  possible  procure  from  the  Gov- 
ernment the  services  of  a  thordujehly  practical  min- 
ing ^gineer  who  would  go  to  Guatemala,  examine 
the  newly  discovered  gold  region,  and  make  an  ei- 
bautttive  report-  on  the  subject.  Gen.  Bunting  is  now 
in  New- York  in  pursuance  of  his  mission.  It  appears 
that  he  is  also  authorized  by  his  letter  of  instructions 
to  treat  with  capitalists  for  the  opening  up  and 
working  of  these  mines,  either  "by  toe  sale  of  the' 
lands  or  by  the  formation  of  a  company,  in  which  the 
Government  of  Ghiatemala  would  retain  an  interest. 
Gen.  Williamson,  Minister  Resident  of  the  tJnited 
State  at  Ouatemnla,  has  addressed  a  letter'tb  the 
State  Department  at  ■Washinffton  eoneeming  Gen. 
Bunting's  mission.  In  the  absence  of  Secretary 
EvartR,  no  further  move  has  been  as  yet  made  in  the 
matter.

London,  .\iig.    11. — The  news   from  the 
ceat  of  war  to-day  is  so  conf  nsed  and  so  indefi- 
nite that  it  is  almost  Impossible  to  sift  the  truth 
from  the  great  mass  of  dispatches  constantly 
arriving.    There  are  many    uncertain  reports 
of  battles,  but  nearly  as  soon  as  they  arrive  de- 
nials  come  from     one     side    or     the     other, 
as    the    ca^e     may   be.      The     Russians    are 
determined  *   not       to      allow       the       truth 
to    come     out     when     they     are     defeated, 
while  the  Turkish  Generals  are  maintaining  a 
discreet  silence  in  regard  to  all  movements  of 
the  slightest  importance,   whether  they  result 
successfully  for  their  side  or  otherwise.     When 
they  are  obliged  to  talk,   they  dilate  at  great 
length  on  the  multitudinous  reports  of  Russian 
atrocities.    In  other  respects,  it  is  noticeable 
that  they  are  conducting  operations  with  dis- 
creet reticence. 

That  very  important  movements  are  on 
foot  is  certain.  The  correspondent  of  The 
Kew-Yobe  Times  at  Adiianople  sends  an  as- 
surance by  telegraph  to-day  tnat  the  decisive 
battle  of  the  campaign  will  be  fought  at  Bogaz 
Pass,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  an  ofScial 
telegram  from  Suleiman  Pasha  says  the  result 
of  a  reconnoissance  by  the  Imperial  Turkish 
troops  demonstrates  beyond  a  doubt  chat  there 
are  no  Russian  soldiers  at  the  entrance  to  the 
Pass. 

Small  preliminary  skirmishes  between  the 
Turks  and  the  advancing  or  retreating  Russians 
are  of  almost  daily  occurrence,  and  doubtless 
form  the  basis  for  the  numerous  and  exag- 
gerated reports  of  battles  which  have  been 
telegraphed  during  the  last  day  or  two. 
Near  Shumla.  on  Wednesday  last,  the 
Turkish  General,  Abraham,  defeated  17 
companies  of  Ru.ssian  infantry,  and  1,000 
horse.  On  the  same  day  an  attack  was  made  by 
a  large  force  of  Russians  on  the  town  of  Yaillak, 
near  Osman  Bazar--  The  Russians  were  re- 
pulsed, but  with  what  loss  is  not  stated. 

Charges  and  countercharges  of  atrocities 
continue  to  pour  in  from  both  sides,  and  both 
eeem  to  coDtain  tne  elements,  at  least,  of  truth. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  this  is  the  most  cruel 
war  in  the  history  of  the  world.  Reprisals 
are  tnade  ruthlessly  by  both  Russians  and 
Turks. 

The  British  Parliament  will  break  up 
next  week  without  asking  the  vote  of  credit 
to  meet  extraordinary  expenditures,  the  recent 
Russian  defeats  having  altered  the  situation  so 
much  that  it  is  deemed  unnecessary.  For  the  same 
reason  Ausftia  is  becoming  more  settled  in  her 
policy  of  neutrality.  Nevertheless,  politically  con- 
sidered, the  crisis  is  thought  by  far-seeing 
Statesmen  to  be  exceptionally  dangerous  at  the 
present  moment.  This  is  owing  to  the  intrigues 
of  Prince  Bismarck  with  the  Governments  of 
Austria  and  Italy  and  his  thorough  understand- 
ing with  the  Russian  Czar, 

The  oiirrespcndent  of  the  DnOy  Nnef,  who  is 
high  in  favor  "with  the  RiLssian  militarv ,  au- 
thoritie.s  states  in  his  paper  to-day  that  the  re- 
inforcements for  the  Russian  Army  will  require 
more  time  to  reach  the  front  than  was  at  first 
supposed,  and  that  consequently  it  will 
be  impossible  to  conclude  the  war  dur- 
ing the  present  year,  Tr  at,  battles 
will  be  fought,  he  says,  b\it  only 
north  of  the  Balkan  Jlountaies,  The  hope  en- 
tertained by  the  Russians  of  being  able  to  ad- 
vance on  Adrianople  at  once  has  been  post- 
poned, and  the  aim  of  the  Russian  Grenerals 
now  is  to  sweep  Bulgaria,  north  of  the  Balkans, 
clear  of  the  Turkish  armies.  The  passes 
iof  the  Balkans  are  to  1>6  held  at 
all  haiiards,  a  strong  position  be- 
ing taken  up  for  tins  purpo.se  at 
Kasanlik.  The  necessity  for  thus  restricting 
operations  south  of  the  Balkans  arises  from 
the  serious  aspect  of  affairs  north  of  that  range. 
The  Russian  armies  there  are  unable  to  move, 
and  must  wait  for  reinforcements.  One  hun- 
dred thousand  men  are  now  on  the  way . 
to  the  scene  of  operation*.  In  accordance 
xrith  this  view,  the  blow  which  the 
Russians  intended  in  give  Osman  Pa.sha"s 
army  cannot  be  struck,  because  troops  are  not 
available  in  sufficient  numbers.  The  right 
Sank  of  the  Russian  Army  is  sufficiently  pro- 
tected, but  the  means  for  renewed  offensive  op- 
I  fratlons  are  utterly  inadequate.  The  Sexes,  cor- 
j  respondent  gives  specific  reasons  why  the  Rus- 
sians are  not  in  a  position  to  strike  at  the  forces 
j  of  Eyoub  Pasha  and  Mehemet  AH  Pasha.  At 
aest  they  can  only  stand  on  the  defensive  and 
hope  for  better  luck. 

The  correspondent  of  The  New-Yobk  Tdies 
it  Bucharest  telegraphs  that  the  Russian  Gen- 
eral Schildner-Schnldner  will  be  summoned  be- 
fore a  cotirt-martial  for  trial  on  charges  of  neg- 
lect of  duty  and  general  incapacity.  He  had  no 
outposts  in  the  rear  of  his  position 
when  surprised  at  Plevna  on  the  19th 
1  at  July,  and  he  allowed  his  first  brig- 
ade to  be  repulsed  on  the  2(>th  and 
destroyed  on  the  23d,  because  he  did  not  order 
in  advance  of  his  reserve  forces.  Gten.  Krud- 
nerwill  also  be  com  t-jiartialed  for  neglecting 
*o  take  possession  of  the  defiles  through  which 
Dsman  Pasha's  reinforcements  passed  on  the 
38th  of  July,  and  for  the  general 
incapacity  disphiyed  by  him  in  the 
sombats  of  the  29th  and  30th  of  Jtdy.  On  the 
other  side,  Abdul  Kerim  will  be  cotu^martialed 
for  utter  worthlessness,  and  Eschridt  Pasha  for 
Mtempting  to  sell  the  Turkish  position  at  Rus- 
tchuk  to  the  Russians,  after  the  manner  of 
Yousseouf  Pa-sBa  at  Varna,  in  the  war 
of  1828.  Russia  is  hardly  justified  in 
her  scapegoats,  for  they  did  exactly 
what  they  were  told  to  do,  but  the  fact  remains 
that  somebody  must  be  disgraced  for  the  in- 
glorious defeats  before  Plevna,  at  Rasgrad, 
Silistri*  and  Eslci  Saghra— all  of  which  are  im- 
[  portant  victories  to  inscribe  on  the  Turkish 
I    banners. 

Reports  come  from  Vienna  to-day  of  a  panie 
I    tb^ushoot  Bosnia.  Additional  troous  are  bfling 


hurried  pell-mell  to  the  Danube ;  the  religi  3us 
eommunities  are  hastily  packing  and  send  Ing 
their  valuables  to  Austria,  fearing  that  t  ley 
will  be  confiscated  in  the  general 
levy  for  money,  and  there  is  an  increasing  1  Bal- 
ing of  tmetoiness  in  Russian  Poland.  Ru  ssia 
fears  to  withdraw  more  troops  from  that  p  ev- 
ince, as  it  will  reanire  a  strong  hand  to  1  eep 
down  the  revolutionary  movement  in  the  p  res- 
ence  of  the  continued  Turkishi  snccesses  uid 
the  exhatistive  drafts  of  men  and  mo  ley 
to  sustain  the  war.  Nevertheless,  then  is 
much  enthusiasm  at  Moscow  and  at  St.  Pet  9rs- 
burg  for  war.  The  Imt>erial  Russian  Gui  rd, 
consisting  of  64,000  infantry  and  cavalry  rill 
follow  the  force  of  48,000  men,  with  :  !50 
cannon,  already  on  the  way  to  the 
seat  of  war.  The  subtirbs  of  the 
Russian  capital  are  studded  with  tents,  and  the 
city  itself  is  full  of  martial  sounds,  Inciden ;  to 
the  wartlike  preparatioiis.  A  force  of  185,1  tOO 
Landwehr  is  nearly  ready  to  start  for  the  fr  mt, 
and  there  is  every  indication  that  Russia  is  de- 
termined to  justify  the  general  belief  in  hei  ul- 
timate success.

THE  POSITION  OF  ENGLAND. 
A  STATEMENT  IN  TH^  HOUSE  OF  COMMONS 
INDICATIVE  OF  .(n  EASIER  FEELI>  G — A 
QUESTION  WHICH  SIR  STAFFORD  NC  RTH- 
COTE  DECLINED  ^^0  ANSWER. 

London,  Aug.  1 1  .^In  the  House  of  Com- 
mons last  night  Mr.  Charles  Monk,  L  beral 
>Iember  for  Gloucester  City,  persis  cntly 
pressed  the  questioti  on  the  Goven  ment 
whether  they  would  consider  the  tcmnora  y  oc- 
cupation of  Constantinople  by  the  Rissian 
troiips  so  far  inconsistent  with  British  int  ;resta 
as  to  disturb  the  relations  of  amity  be  ween 
England  and  Russii.  Though  Sir  St  ifford 
Xorthcote,  Chancellor  of  the  Exchequ«  r,  re- 
fiLsed  to  answer  thLs  hypothetical  quest  on,  it 
had  the  effect  of  drawing  from  Right  Hon. 
William  Edward  Fo^ster,  Liberal  memt  sr  for 
Bradford,  a  -statement  expressive  of  the  g  -eater 
confidence  which  is '  felt  bj^he  Opposit  ion  of 
the  improbability  of  England's  becomii  g  in- 
volved in  war.  Mr.  Forster  said:  *'Spf  iking 
for  myself  and  others,  we  shoiUd  not  have 
yielded  to  the  Government's  desii  3  to 
avoid  debate  on  the  Eastern  qu  tstion 
if  we  had  any  |  reason  to  fear  that 
the  Government  |  were  likely  during 
the  recess  to  drag  thei  country  into  war,  jr  in- 
volve it  in  any  breach  of  neutrality.  We  have 
most  carefully  considered  everything  the  t  has 
been  written  and  said  by  the  Govern:  aent ; 
and.  looking  at  their  last  dispatches,  w  s  feel 
con-vinced  that  they!  intend  to  abide  bf  the 
policy  of  strict  neutrality.  That  beinj  the 
case,  I  do  not  think  it  necessary  to  d<  more 
than  remind  them  "f  the  heavy  respons  bility 
under  which  they  liel"'  This  statement  seems 
indicative  of  the  easier  feeling  generallv  >rera- 
lent,  which  is  largely  due  to  Earl  fie  wons- 
field's  recent  statemeiit  in  the  House  of  Lc  rds.

mand,  consisting  of  182  men,  (11  officers.  133 


siJd 


32  citizen  volunteers.)  crossed 
over  from  I  Ross  Hole  on  Wednesday. 
Starting  at  1 1  o'clock  the  same  night,  they 
moved  down  all  of  the  troops,  with 
the  exceptiotl  of  a  few  left  to  guard 
the  traispbrtation  a  few  miles  above, 
close  to  tie  Indian  camp,  which  was  on  the  Big 
Hole,  about  three  miles  below  where  the  Bitter 
Root  and  Biinnock  trail  crosses.  At  daylight 
the  fight  opened  by  the  volunteers  firing  on  an 
Indian  g'>ing  after  the  horses.  The  charge  was 
then  macle  on  the  camp,  and  some  hard  fighting 
took  place  in  t^e  next  two  hours,  during  which 
time  lirje  numbers  of  men  and  Indians  were 
killed.  "^he  soldiers  then  charged 
the  lodges,'  biit  were  repulsed.  The  Indians 
then  attempted  to  cut  the  soldiers 
from  n  high  wooded  point ;  but  the 
latter  charged;  beating  back  the  Indian  advance 
from  the  point,  which  they  held  and  at  once 
fortified.  Fighting  continued  all  day.  and  was 
still  progressing  fitfully  when  the  courier  left  at 
1 1  o'clock.  The  fighting  was  de.spcrate  on  both 
sides,  the  full  force  of  Indians  lK>ing  in  the 
fight.  Capt,  Logan  and  Lieut,  Bradley  were 
killed.  Gen.i  Gibbon,  Capt.  Williams,  and 
Lieuts.  Coolidge,  English,  and  Woodruff  were 
wounded — Gen.  Gibbon  slightly.  Lieut  Brad- 
ley was  the  first  man  killed. 

The  mssseniier  says  that  after  they  failed  to 
capture  the  lodges  the  Indians  moved  their 
camp  off  in  tlie  direction  of  Bannock.  All  of 
their  hoi  ses  W(  're  captured,  and  the  messenger 
had  to  c  >me  to  French  Gulch,  nearly  (iO  miles, 
on  foot  Ano'  her  messenger  was  sent  to  How- 
ard, whc  should  have  r<<ached  there  to-day. 

The  h<  itritze  r  had  been  left  six  miles  behind, 
and  was  ordered  to  be  nioved  up  at  daylight 
During  Ihe  fight  they  heard  it  discharged  twice, 
and  thet  it  was  silent  A  band  of  Indians  soon 
after  ajpearei  with  a  number  of  horses, 
and  it  is  believed  that  all  the  horses 
of  the  coiimand,  the  gun,  supplies, 
and  reserve  ammunition  were  captured. 
When  Ihe  courier  loft  Gen.  Gibbon  thought 
he  still  had  100  effective  men,  and  believed 
that  nei  irly  1 11  of  the  Indians  had  withdrawn 
from  hi.  front.  The  mes-scnger  .says  he  thinks 
100  Indians  were  killeil.  and  that  nearly  half 
of  the  '  jommand,  including  the  citizens,  were 
killed  01  wouiided.  Gen.  Gibbon  has  sent  for 
medicines,  surgeons,  supplies,  &c.  Dr.  Mitchell 
will  leave  to-day  with  an  escort.  Gen.  Gibbon 
particularly  asks  for  ambulance  wagons  to  come 
under  escort,  and  every  available  wagon  will  go 
forward  from  here  and  Butte. 

This  is  one  of  the  hardest  Indian  fights  on 
record,  and  Gen.  Gibbon's  command  made  a 
most  gallant  and  desperate  fight  again  st  over- 
whelming odds.

Reading,  Penn.,  Aug.  11. — The  Fourth 
Be^ment,  National  Guard,  of  Pennsylvania, 
10  companies,  under  command  of  Brig.-Gen. 
Frank  Reeder,  arrived  here  at  3  P.  M.  They 
were  obliged  to  foot  it  through  the  streets,  as 
the  Lebanon  Valley  Bridge  was  not  quite  fin- 
ished. The  city  was  sparsely  decorated  with 
bunting  in  honor  of  the  returning  soldiers.  A 
committee  of  citizens,  preceded  by  the  city 
comet|band,  escorted  the  regiment  through  the 
city  tof  the  Reading  depot,  where  Company  A, 
Reading  Bifies,  of  this  city,  were  dismissed.  The 
remainder  took  the  trains  for  their  respective 
destinations.  It  was  uoticeable  that  not  a  cheer 
of  welcome  went  up  from  the  crowds  on  the 
streets' and  sidewalks.  Some  significance  is  at- 
tached to  this,  as  all  the  other  regiments  which 
have  returned  to  their  homes  have  been  ban- 
queted to  repletion.  The  Fourth  Regiment 
had  the  unenviable  duty  of  firing  into  the  mob 
on  the  23d  of  July.

— THEORIES    REGARDING  THE  DISASTER. 

Panama,  Aug.  2, — From  Chili  we  have 
news  of  the  loss  of  the  Pacific  Steam  Navigation 
Company's  steamer  Eten,  about  70  miles  north 
of  Valparaiso.  Our  correspondent,  writing  from 
Lima,  July  20,  says :  "We  have  advices  of  the 
total  loss  of  the  Pacific  Steam  Navigation  Com- 
pany's steamer  Eten,  Capt.  Coathupe,  on  the 
morning  of  the  15th  inst.,  at  a  point  known  as 
'•Los  Vilos,"  about  70  miles  north  of  Valpa- 
raiso. According  to  the  meagre  telegrams  re- 
ceived, there  must  have  been  considerable  loss 
of  life,  as  14  dead  bodies  had  been  recovered. 
Forty-three  of  the  crew  and  passengers  had 
reached  the  shore  in  safety,  and  20  were  still 
on  the  rocks ;  all  efforts  were  being  made  to  res- 
cue them.  The  English  war  steamer  Amethy.st 
and  the  Chilian  gun-boat  Chacabuco  proceeded 
immediately  to  the  assistance  of  the  unfortu- 
nates. The  cause  of  the  disaster  has  not  been 
reported.  The  Eten,  1,853  tons  register,  was 
built  by  Laird  on  the  Clyde  in  1871,  at  a  cost  of 
£47,750.     She  was  an  iron  screw  propeller. 

The  following  telegram  is  from  the  office  of 
the  company  in  Callso : 

Skhena,  Chili,  July  18— (Received  at  Callao, 
July  20. ) — The  Amethyst  arrived  from  the  scene 
of  the  wreck  at  about  3  P.  M.  to-day,  unable 
to  rescue  the  surrivors  from  the  rocks,  owing 
to  bad  weather.  The  Chacabuco  was  also 
unable  to  render  them  any  assistance,  it  being 
unsafe  to  attempt  a  rescue  with  small  boats. 
The  Chacabuco  is  on  her  way  to  Valparaiso. 
Survivors  on  rocks,  owing  to  exposure  and  want 
of  food,  threw  themselves  into  the  sea  to  end 
their  misery.     Only  three  saved. 

A  letter  dated  on  board  the  steam-ship  Lima 
at  Callao,  July  21,  .says  :  -The details  of  the  loss 
of  the  Eten  are  very  meagre.  Out  of  the  crew 
(67  all  told)  and  passengers  there  are  probably 
saved  63.  There  could  not  have  been  less  than 
from  90  to  lOO  passengers,  as  she  was  the  in- 
termediate boat.  The  losses  of  life,  therefore, 
may  be  estimated  at  about  100  persons.  To 
account  for  the  loss  of  the  Eten 
various  theories  are  advanced.  None  ■  of 
them  assume  for  a  moment  any  want  of 
attention,  care,  or  skill,  on  the  part  of  the  com- 
mander, who  probably  is  among  tho.se  whoso 
lives  were  ended  in  the  distressing  catastrophe. 
He  was  one  of  the  most  prudent  and  painstak- 
ing commanders  in  the  serx-ice,  and  was  es- 
teemed and  admired  for  his  manliness,  devotion 
to  duty,  and  high  moral  worth.  The  most  rea- 
sonable theory  of  the  loss  of  the  Eten  is  that  ad- 
vanced by  Capt.  Mills,  of  the  Lima.  He  reports 
continual  disturbances  of  the  sea.  with  a  very 
strong  shore  set  which  nece.ssitate  constant 
watchfulness  on  the  part  of  commanders  and 
officers,  and  in  numerous  instances  the  ship's 
coarse  has  to  be  changed  to  keep  off  the 
coast.  On  the  last  trip  but  one  this  was 
particularly  the  case  ;  indeed,  ever  since  the 
10th  May  (the  day  of  the  earthquake  and  tidal 
wave)  these  disturbances  have  been  very  con- 
siderable, and  on  the  present  trip  up  were  noted 
as  being  as  strong  as  ever.  The  day  on  which 
the  Eten  went  to  sea  was  foggy  and  rainy,  and 
it  was  difficult  to  make  out  objects  on  shore,  or 
ascertain  the  bearings  of  prominent  points.  It 
Ls  possible  that  Capt.  Coathupe  (P.  G.)  did 
not  observe  the  strong  shoreward  set  of  the  sea. 
and  so  ran  among  the  rocks  at  or  about  Los 
Vilo.s,  a  very  dangerous  point.  Earthquake 
shocks  are  frequent  and  the  sea  at  many  points 
was  exceedingly  rough."

"List  of  persons  saved  from  the  Eten  up  to  10

Special  DitpalOi  to  (V  JTeKTork  nmes. 

Philadelphia,  .4.ug.  11. — ^A  large  meet- 
ing of  working  men  was  held  here  to-night,  at 
which  it  was  agreed  to  organize  a  new  political 
party,  to  be  named  "  The  Working  Men's  Pro- 
tective Party."  The  men  who  were 
instrumental  in  this  movement  are 
nearly  all  members  of  the  Typographical  TTnion 
of  this  city,  Mr.  William  B.  Eckert,  who  pre- 
sided, being  for  some  years  President  of  the 
Union.  A  prominent  editor  of  this  city  framed 
the  resolutions  on  which  the  platform  of  the 
party  is  based,  which  asserts  that  in  consequence 
of  the  depression  -of  labor  by  capital,  the 
working  men  ^eem  legislation  for  them-, 
selves  necessary.  As  it  stands  at  present 
the  movement  is  weak,  there  being  no  one  con- 
nected with  it  having  funds  to  carry  on  a  cam- 
paign. A  fu.sion  with  the  other  labor  organiza- 
tions would  make  it  very  strong  locally,  and  en- 
danger the  .success  of  the  party  tickets  here. 


Dinpatch  to  the  A»aorialed  Frees, 

Philadf.lphia,  Aug.  11. — A  meeting  of 
working  men  was  held  to-night  at  Caledonian 
Hall  to  concert  measures  to  form  a  new  politi- 
cal party,  through  which  the  working  men 
of  America  hope  and  expect  to  make 
their  collective  infiiience  felt  Nearly  all  the 
trades  were  represented.  The  meeting  was 
private,  and  all  reporters  were  excluded.  After 
the  meeting  it  was  announced  that  the  follow- 
ing preamble  and  resolutions  had  been  adopted  : 

^'hereax,  The  lamentable  state  of  affairs  existing 
in  this  rountrj-  having  been  broaght  about  by  the 
undue  power  granted  by  the  laws  to  corponjteU 
cni)ital  by  partial  legislation  in  its  favor,  by  re- 
strictive law.s,  throuch  which  fls-sociated  laborers  are 
(leijrived  of  .ill  right  to  remilate  their  own  aflfairs. 
and  by  the  total  alienation  of  the  (Tovemment 
and  representatives  in  the  Legislatures  and 
Congress  from  the  people  who  have  intrnsted 
tnem  with  their  interests  and  protection  ;  and, 

}YbereaK,  All  efforts  havint:  heretofore  failed  which 
have  had  for  their  object  the  emanciniition  of  the 
working  classes,  owing  to  the  mauifold  divisions  in 
the  ranks  of  labor  ;  and. 

Whereat.  Destruction  of  the  industries  of  the 
countrj'  and  the  pauperizing  of  its  labor  must  be  the 
inevitable  consequence  of  partial  legislation  on  the 
-f>art  of  onr  law  makers  :  therefore. 

Jiesotved.  That  we  eamestlv  re<'Oinmend  the  organ, 
ization  of  worldng  men  for  politicAl  purposes,  to  he 
called  the  Protective  Labor  Party.  ha\-inn  for  its  ob- 
ject— first,  the  mutual  protection  of  labor :  ser-- 
ond.  direct  representation  of  the  working  classes 
in  municipal  and  State  Legislatures  and  Congress  ; 
third,  the  repeal  of  all  oppre.'ssive  laws  against  labor  ; 
fourth,  the  enactment  of»  just  la-ws  for  the  protec- 
tion oi"  labor. 

The  speeches  made  were  of  a  conservative 
character.  A  communistic  communication  from 
the  Working  Men's  Party  of  the  United  States 
was  offered  to  the  meeting,  but  was  tabled 
unanimously.  After  the  appointment  of  a  com- 
mittee, composed  of  delegates  from  the  trades 
represented,  to  draft  a  plan  of  organization,  the 
meeting  adjourned.

Panama,  -Aug.  2. — The  Government  of

of  a  line  of  telegraph  with  Mexico,  which 
would  place  Guatemala  in  telegraphic  commu- 
iiieation  with  the  United  States  and  Europe. 
The  Govemraent  of  Mexico  has  expres-^ed  itself 
favorable  to  the  enterprise,  and  it  is  believe<l 
that  within  two  months  the  wires  of  the  two 
Republics  will  be  connected.  '  Mexico  appears

London,  Aug.  11. — The  EconotnU^t  rkvs  v 
**  The  withdrawals  of  gold  this  week  for  Prance 
and  Germany  have  further  stiflFened  the  rates 
of  discount.,  which  arc-  tirm,  tbree  months'  bank 
bills  1>eing  seldom  taken  below  1  L,  to  l^yper 
cent.,  but  the  demand  for  money  cannot  be  said 
to  have  increased,  and  short  loans  are  obtaina- 
ble at  less  than  1  per  cent.  The  disposition  is 
to  prepare  against  dearer  money.  As«'tha 
result  of  an  efflux  of  gold  from  this 
market,  which  seems  likely  to  con- 
tinue, in  the  present  condition  of 
exchanges,  fon'ign  gold  is  taken  from  the  Bank 
of  England  for  Paris,  bar  gold  i-i  taken  chiefly 
to  Germany,  and  nothing  is  shipped  from 
America,  the  effect  being  that  the  sniall  .$ux>- 
plies  arriving  are  waylaid,  ami  tlie  liank  re- 
serve is  constantly  diminishing  under-the  de- 
mands, internal  and  foreign,  which  nitsit  be  ex- 
pecte^l  to  rontinut'  at  tliis  part  of  the  ywar.  Th« 
feature  of  the  stock  markets  this  week  luisbeea 
a  decline  in  Rimsians,  which  was  only  remark- 
able for  its  unusual  persistence,  not  its -extent. 
The  .successes  of  the  l^irks.  and  perhaps  the 
fear  of  dearer  money,  have  mcouraged  oper- 
ators for  a  fall  to  sell  freely.  With, 
this  exception  the  tendency  of  prices 
in  speculative  markets  was  upward 
at  the  beginning  of  the  week,  even 'Turkish 
stocks  having  risen  on  the  strenffth.of  some 
pas-sing  rumot^i  of  i>caoe.  The  basis  for  such, 
rumors  is  scarcely  discoverable,  but  the  resist- 
ance of  the  Turks  gives  color  to  the  conceptioa 
that  loans  by  countries  surh  as  Austria  will  be 
le-«s  likely  to  be  i.sf«ue<i  for  purpos«'K  of  military 
intervention,  and  that  is  sora«^  rational  ground 
for  the  maint^fuanre  of  prices.  Business  of  all 
kinds  has  been  limited,  jmrtly  by  the  occur- 
rence of  the  bank  holiday  and  partly  iu 
ponseqnence  of  the  couiinut-d  indisposi-

LoSDOW,  S»tjQd»y,  July  28,  1877. 
At  the  close  of  every  London  season  it  is 
always  declared  fcy  somebody  or  other  to  have 
been  doll,  U  not  a  complete  faUure.  It  is 
pointed  oat  onea  more  by  oxperianesd  kiAita& 
that  we  have  this  year  had  an  imnsaaQy  had 
time.  The  long  abaence  of  the  Priaoe  and 
Princess  of  Wales  on  the  Continent  d  Eorope, 
and  the  postponement  of  the  State  entertain- 
ments on  account  of  the  dea&  of  tibe  Qaeen  of 
the  Netherlands,  checked  the  earlier  and  later 
gayeties  of  the  period.  Much  al  this  wu  to 
have  been  redeemed  by  the  Prince  and  Princess 
giving  a  grand  closing  baU  at  Harlborongh 
HoDse.  The  untimely  Illness  of  il'rineo  Albert 
Victor  will  prevent  this  brilliant  Jlnale  of  a  dnU 
comedy.  Such  Is  the  gossiD  of  the  very  "  up- 
permost "  of  the  upper  ten,  who  farther  point 
tmt  that  half  a  dozen  ducal  houses  have  not  given 
dances  this  year,  and  diat  neither  the  French, 
Austrian,  nor  Bnssiail  Embassies  have  given 
a  single  ball  between  them.  Of  eoone  these 
gossips  being  aeeustomed  to  bask  in  the  sunshine 
of  royalty,  ore  not  satisfied  with  the  delights  of 
a  Mayfair  upon  which  Queens  and  Princesses 
are  not  smiling  all  the  time.  They  even  forget 
that  the  season  was  onened  by  the  Queen  of 
England  herself,  a  circumstance  for  general  con< 
p^tulation  ;  and  that  the  State  entertainments 
have  nearly  all  taken  place,  thotigh  they  were  . 
postponed  for  a  short  time  whUe  royalty  paused 
to  weep  over  a  royal  bier.  Moreover,  the  hos- 
pitalities of  Grosvenor  House,  Dudley  House, 
the  garden  parties  at  Marlborough  House  and 
Holland  House,  the  Ministerial  entertainments, 
the  TVest  End  receptions,  have  all  been  on  a 
very  imposing  scale.  The  Honing  Post  and  The 
Queen  have  never  had  their  columns  more 
crowded  with  lists  of  balls,  dinners, 
dances,  and  kettledrums ;  the  toilets 
of  hostesses  and  guests  have  never  been  more 
alaborately  described.  Then,  for  the  lions  of 
the  time,  we  have  had  the  ex-President  of  the 
United  States,  the  Chinese  Ambassador,  the 
Japanese  Ambassador,  the  usual  Princes  of 
India,  Midhat  Pasha,  the  erratic  Schouvalott, 
the  velvet-robed  Envoy  of  Eashgar,  and  a 
score  or  two  of  minor  lions,  all' going  to  and  fro 
among  society,  and  making  It  picturesque  as 
well  as  Interesting.  Ascot  and  the  Oaks  had 
more  gorgeous  crowds  of  visitors  than  I  have 
ever  seen  before ;  the  coaching  meets  have 
been  magnificent ;  the  Bow  has  been  crowded 
all  the  time;  Bond-street  has  been  blocked 
every  day ;  the  picture  galleries  have  increased ; 
the  sales  at  Christie  &  Manson's  have  included 
£ome  of  the  most  remarkable  art  collections  of 
the  day ;  Horliugham  has  been  brilliant ;  the 
Orleans  Club  has  given  a  new  zest  to  aristocratie 
life  ;  two  opera-houses  have  been  running  along 
payly  since  April,and  the  scandals  of  the  period  are 
almost  worthy  of  the  davs  of  Charles  IL  What 
more  could  society  possibly  require  I  Don"t  be- 
lieve the  lugubrious  reports  o;^  "^Wos^  swells — 
the  season  has  been  a  great  success,  and  it  will 
wind  up  as  usual  next  week  with  Ooodwood, 
which  promises  to  be  more  than  usually  gay. 
The  grand  stand  and  lawn  are  said  to  have  nn- 
iergone  improvements,  and  a  variety  of  changes 
iave  been  made  in  the  interests  of  the  luxurious 
:hrpng  who  go  to  Kee  and  be  seen.  The  lawn 
aext  week  will  present  a  scene  of  beauty  and 
dress  which  no  capital  in  the  world  can  excel, 
for  London  draws  for  these  displays  upon 
Christendom.  Every  land  sends  Its  flowers  to 
deck  the  lawn  at  Goodwood  Park. 

What  a  contrast  to  the  condition  of  Constan- 
linople  jiLst  now !  Day  by  day  the  reports  come 
tn  of  the  gradual  advance  of  the  Russian  troops, 
ind  thereisafeverLsh  excitement  at  Portsmouth 
ind  Woolwich.  It  is  reported  that  Lord  Beacons- 
aeld  wanted  to  send  out  a  large  force  of  troops 
when  the  additional  ships  were  dispatched  a  few 
weeks  ago,  and  that  the  question  was  really  put 
lo  the  vote  of  the  Cabinet,  and  lost  by  one.  But 
these  reports  must  be  taken  wil^  a  grain  of  salt. 
A  Cabinet  council  Is  one  of  tiie  most  secret  of 
secret  assemblies,  and  the  Ministers  are  bound 
by  an  oath  not  to  reveal  what  takes  place. 
State  secrets  do  somehow  leak  out  now  and  then, 
to  keep  up  the  respectability  of  the  old  adage 
that  "walls  have  ears."  I  have  had  the  privi- 
lege on  several  occasions  of  reporting  to  you  the 
results  of  Cabinet  councils,  but  I  find  them  in 
the  orders  which  have  been  given  to  State  De- 
partments, where  I  have  friends,  immedi- 
itely  after  the  sittings  of  the  Cabinet. 
"T  don't  beUeve  that  Ministers  leave 
;h6  Council  Chamber  and  talk  about 
tlie  business  proposed  or  accomplished,  but  chiefs 
9f  departments  soon  know  when  there  are  to 
1)6  important  movements  of  troops,  and  I  have 
aad  little  difficulty  in  giving  your  readers  the 
Srstnews  of  military  and  naval  preparations. 
The  present  orders  for  foreign  service  only  con- 
template additions  of  10,00O  men  to  those  who 
are  already  in  the  Mediterranean  regions,  and  this 
can  hardly  mean  more  than  the  intention  of  the 
Ministers  to  be  "  in  at  the  death."  Authorities 
whom  I  have  reason  to  respect  insist  that  the 
destination  of  the  forces  which  have  goUe  out 
Is  Gallipoli.  and  it  may  be  so,  though  it  cannot 
be  denied  that  the  recent  assurances  of  Prince 
Sortchakofl  constitute  new  bonds  in  the  neu- 
tral policy  of  the  Government.  Anyhow,  Eng- 
land is  in  a  position  to  make  her  voice  potent 
In  the  final  settlement,  and  the  latest  news  from 
the  seat  of  war  looks  like  the  beginning  of  the 
3nd.  Abdul  Kerim  has  proved  either  a  traitor 
}r  a  fool,  and  the  Turks  in  Europe  are  begln- 
!ng  to  fight  a  few  weeks  too  late.  This  is  the 
ipinion  of  London,  and  people  who  have 
friends  and  relatives  at  Coiistantinople  are 
inxious  for  their  safety  in  prospect  of  a  rush 
of  retreating  Moslem  soldiers  into  the  capital  of 
the  Sultans.  ^ 

The  Lord  Mayor  Is  displeased  and  disappointed 
ihat  the  annual  eivie  banquet  to  her  Majesty's 
Ministers  is  not  to  be  attended  by  the  chiefs  of 
the  party.  The  dinner  will  be  like  the  play  of 
"Hamlet"  without  the  Prince.  LordBeaeons- 
Seld  declined  his  lordship's  invitation  on  the 
score  of  ill-health,  though  it  is  pretty  well  un- 
derstood that  the  Premier  has  recovered  from 
his  recent  indisposition.  But  lK>rd  Derby  and 
Lord  Salisbury  have  also  not  accepted  the  Lord 
Mayor's  invitation.  The  city,  however,  has 
sense  enough  not  to  regard  this  as  a  slight  to 
the  Lord  Mayor  or  the  glorious  institution 
v.hieh  he  represents.  The  times  are  ticldish. 
Civic  banquets  offer  tempting  inducements  to 
post-prandial  oratory.  Ministerial  reserve  ii 
best  maintained  at  St.  Stephens.  Lord  Salis- 
bury; as  a  marked  man,  would  feel  bound  to 
explain  his  conduct  to  a  loyal  assemblage  of 
Englishmen  sitting  boieath  the  historic  roof  of 
Ouildhall.  Lord  Derby  prefers  frankness  to 
tlie  politic  silence  his  eoUeagues  would  possibly 
demand.  So  it  is  better  that  the  minor 
iignitaries  of  State  should  be  left  to 
the  influences  of  the  time ;  tljey  cannot 
lo  iiiueh  hanp,  because  they  will  speak  rather 
Ihejr  individual  sentiments  than  the  opinions  of 
the  Ministry.  Civic  institutinns  do  not  require 
the  popular  indorsement  of  Ministers ;  there- 
fore, they  are  not  dimmed  by  the  absence  of  the 
Chief  of  the  Government  at  the  Lord  Mayor's 
table.  The  father*  of  the  Corporstiott  of  Lon- 
lon  can  take  oafe  of  tbanudves,  and  they  have 
lust  given  a  splendid  proof  of  tbair  iatoitlon

Alderraanic  Court.  They  have  dQnejso,  and  the

sticklers  for  the  Ihonor  of  the  corporation  ap- 
plaud the  deelsipn  of  the  higher  chatber  of  the 
Council.  Though  some  of  the  extreme  Radical 
loumals  regard  the  action  of  the  Alcfermen  as  a 
blow  at  jwpular  i  election,  the  stfppofters  of  the 
vote  which  excludes  Sir  John  from  [the  Alder- 
manic  Chair  regard  it  is  a  good  sign  of  the  times

dvic  reform,  which  must  eventuafly  bowl  over 
the  arrogant  and  boasted  charters  of  Guildhall. 
I  doubt  ft.  The  Corporation  of  Lone  on  is  one 
of  the  bulwarks  of  English  liberties.  The  Mayor 
and  Common  Council  of  London  bave  more 
than  once  stood  between  the  people  i  nd  usurp- 
ing monarchs,  between  the  free  citiz  sns  of  the

"That  yon  neither  mention  me  no:

rather  a  slighting  one,   but  the  eriti< ; 
it  nevertheless.    A  few  days  afl

Mr.  Gladstone  is  publishing  another  defense 
of  Russia,  combatting  the  atrocities,  evldenee  of 
which  has  been  laid  before  Parliament.  A  curi- 
o\ifi  corollary  to  his  recent  action  is  the  language 
of  the  declaration  of  war  which  Mr.  OhuUtone 
and  his  Libersl  colleague  prepared  for  the 
Queen's  signature  in  1854: 

"  Her  JlaJMty  faols  called  apoa  byrejrardfor  wa

pire  bAve  been  recognized  &s  esseuti&l  to  the  peace  of 
Europe,  by  the  Bympathiea  of  her  people  with  right

iona  most  injurionB  consequences,  and  to  save  Europe 
from  the  prepondeTanoe  oif  a  power  which  has  violat-

the  dviliied^world,  to  take  op  arms,  in  conjunction 
with  the  Emperor  of  the  French,  for  the  defense  of 
the  Sultan.  Her  Majesty  is  persuaded  that  in  so 
acting  she  will  have  the  cordial  support  of  her  peo-

3  UNGBATEPUL  CONDUCT  OP  LADT  BALb'S 
'27EPHEW — HIS  BENEFACTRESS  THE  VICTIM 
OP  POtJL  BLAITDERS. 

JVom.  0t4  LoncUm  Timet,  July  27. 
At  the  Mansion  House  yesterday  Mr.  Henry 
Ha  wthom  was  brought  before  Alderman  Sir  Kobert 
Carden,  upon  a  warrant,  charged  with  having  on  the 
19th  of  January  last  unlawfully  written  aud  pub- 
lished a  false,  scandalous,'  and  defamatory  libel  of 
and  concerning  Louisa  Lady  Ball,  widow  of  SlrWil- 
liain  Keith  Ball,  he  well-knowing  it  to  be  false.  Mr. 
George  Lewis,  Jr..  solicitor,  conducted  the  prosecu- 
tion; Mr.  J.  C.  Smith,  solicitor,  appeared  for  the  de- 
fei^.  Mr.  Lewis,  in  opening  the  ease,  said 
Lady  BaU  was  the  aunt  of  the  prisoner's 
wife,  who  had  before  her  marriaee  lived  with 
Lady  Ball  for  eight  years  and  to  whom  Lady  Ball 
was  still  much  attached.  After  the  marriage,  with  a 
view  to  assist  her  niece,  she  advanced  to  the  prisoner 
a  sum  of  il.OOO  to  enable  him  to  take  a  farm, 
which  he  did.  The  prisoner  got  into  diflBculties,  and 
Siif  AVUliam  and  Lady  Ball  then  became  surety  to  a 
bank  for  further  advances  made  to  him  upon  a  bill 
of  isale.  The  result  of  that  arrangement  was  that 
th6  prisoner  owed,  and  still  continued  to  owe,  over 
£8(K>  to  Lady  BaU.  Afterward  Lady  Ball,  out  of 
sheer  kindness,  took  a  house  for  the  prisqper  and 
hi^  wffe  and  family,  and.  after  Sir  WUlmm's  death, 
lived  with  them  and  provided  for  the  whole 
estkbUshment.  During  thi«  visit  her  niece 
complained  to  Lady  BaU  of  the  prisoner's  cruelty, 
and  told  her  he  h^  j>awned  her  engaged  ripe,  and  a 
valoable  gold  watch  given  to  her  by  Sir  WiUiaih 
Bail.  To  restore  these  articles  to  her  niMe,  Lady 
Ball  Bent  a  check  for  £5  to  the  prisoner's  lm>ther  to 
got  them  out  of  pled^,  aud  when  she  obtained  them, 
she,  with  her  uiece  s  sanction,  retained  them  for 
safety,  and  to  prevent  them  being  repawned.  That 
octhirred  two  years  ago.  The  court  would  hardly 
think  it  credible,  but  a  few  days  ago — after  a  lapse, 
as  he  had  stated,  of  two  years — the  prisoner  swore 
an  information  against  her  at  Alcester  on  a  charge 
of  I  stealing  the  daplicatea,  and  she  was  arrest- 
ed, though  ill  at  the  time,  and  dragged  in 
custody  for  10  hours  to  answer  a  charge  which 
was  indignantly  dismissed  by  the  Bench.  Mr.  Lewis 
wojdd  have  thought  it  impossible  to  find  any  mBgis- 
trate  who  would  have  granted  such  a  warrant,  but 
such  a  one  was  found  lu  the  person  of  Capt.  Gem^il, 
of  .A.lcfst«r.  Tlio  pri.«roner  was  now  charged  with 
senjding  libels  on  two  post-cards  to  XaAv  Ball's 
brother,  and  with  writing  a  letter  to  her  which  was 
so  grow  that  he  could  not  read  it  in  court.  Sir  Robert 
Cftjpdcn.  ha\-ing  perused  the  letter  in  question,  said, 
indignantly,  that  it  was  a  most  infamous  production. 
Mr;  Lewis  added  tlist  Lady  Ball,  thonifh  reluctant  to 
takje  a  step  which  would  injure  the  prisoner's  wife 
and  famUy.  had  felt  compelled  at  last  in  self-defense 
toihstitatethis  prosecution  against  him.  Mr.  Raynhani 
William  Stewart,  a  solicitor,  deposed  that  in  January 
las^  he,  on  behalf  of  Irfidy  BaU,  took  proceedings 
agaanHt  the  prisoner's  brother  to  recover  money  ad- 
vanced, on  a  bill  of  exchange.  On  the  19th  of 
January  lie  received  a  letter  containing  the  alleged 
lib^l,  and  which  imputed  immoral  rondact  to  Lady 
BalL  Mr.  WUliani  Hanbury  Yeats,  a  physician,  said 
Lady  Ball  was  hii  sister.  On  the  3d  of  June  he 
received  a  post-card  from  the  prisoner  in  these 
terms  :  "Con  you  inform  me  where  your  sister  Lady 
Ball  is  In  lodgmgs,  as  she  wUl  sooner  or  later  have 
to  J  account  for  the  diamond  ring  and  eold 
waich  she  obtained  by  false  pretenses  from 
3IrJ  Wood  ?"  On  the  I4th  of  June  he 
received  another  post-card  in  these  terms :  "  I  think 
I  have  managed  to  cet  on  :o  yoxir  sister.  Lady  Ball's 
track  at  last,  and  nope  soon  to  wave  her  before  the 
beaiks  at  Moor-street,  Birmingham,  for  ubtaining 
goods  from  Mr.  Wood  under  fafie  pretenses."  Bou 
cards  and  the  letter  referred  to  hy  Mr.  Stewart  were 
In  the  prisoner's  handwriting.  llady  Ball  confirmed 
3fr;  Lewis'  statement,  adding  mo.st  erapliatically  that 
there  was  not  the  slightest  truth  In  the  assertions 
made  by  the  prisoner  on  the  post-c.^rds  and  in  the 
letter.  Tlie  solicitor  for  the  defense  said  he  had  no 
questions  to  nsk  L^dy  Ball.  Alderman  Sir  Robert 
Oarden  committed  the  prisoner  for  trial. 

TEE  BONAVARTIST  SCHISM, 


CASSAGNAC*S  PROTEST  AGAIX.ST  THE  POLICY 
OP  HIS  PARTY — ROUHEB^S  LEADERSHIP 
— CASSAGNAC  REBUKED  BY  HIS  CON- 
FRERES— HIS  POOR  OPINION  OF  THE 
STRENGTH   OP   THE   MINISTRY. 

The  Paris  correspondent  of  the  London  Ttmes 
telegraphed  as  follows  on  July  30 : 

"Conflicting  currents  have  of  late  been  observable 
among  the  Bonapaxtists.  Not  to  speak  of  a  few  who 
think,  with  M.  Kaoul  Duval,  tliat  the  16th  of  May 
was  a  mistake,  and  that  the  experiment  of  a  Re- 
pabUe  administered  by  Republicans  should  have 
gone  on  uninterruptedly  uhtU  it  resulted  in  a  de- 
cided snccess  or  a  decided  failure,  there  is  a  section 
very  exacting  and  reserved  toward  tho  Cabinet, 
and  another  section  which  is  eager  to  support  it 
aud  to  make  a  liberal  allowance  for  its  difficulties. 
M.  Paul  de  Caasagnac,  strangely  enough,  is  the  leader- 
of  this  moderate  wing.  He  strongly  condemns  the 
conduct  of  several  Bonapartists  in  becoming  candi- 
dates for  constituencies  where  Royalists  have  prior 
claims  ;  and  the  Oauloig  having  declared  that  there 
was  a  total  rupture  between  theBonnuariists  and  the 
Royalists,  he  called  upon  the  Ordre,  as  M.  Itoaher's  or- 

fin,  for  authoritative  contradiction  of  this  statement. 
he  Ordre,  which  had  been  silent  during  the  con- 
troversy, was  aroused  by  this  appeal ;  but  though  the 
oracle  spoke,  it  gave  a  very  uncertain  sound,  in  an 
article  manifestly,  and  now  avowedly,  inspired  by 
M.  Rouher.  It  protested  its  moderate  and  conciliatory 
attitude,  and  promised  the  Marshal  its  continued  co- 
opeimtion;  but  demanded,  in  return,  that  the 
Government  ■  should  support  Its  candidates 
w^herover  they  had  evidently  the  best  cbuice.  It 
wound  up  by  warning  the  Royalists  that  its  patience 
might  be  exhausted,  and  the  Government  that  by 
submitting  to  such  exigencies  and  appearing  to  en- 
courage such  violences  its  own  catise  would  be  im- 
peril^. To  this  M.  De  Cassagnac  replied  in  the 
Pays  tiiat  the  Ordre  had  better  have  kept  silence  than 
given  such  a  response  ;  that,  instead  of  denying  the 
alleged  rupture.  It  had  rather  leaned  to  the  QauioU 
than  opposed  it ;  and  that  if  the  article  repre- 
sented the  official  programme  of  the  party  he 
should  refuse  to  foUow  it,  for  it  resembled  the 
fatal  policy  by  which  certain  Bonapartists  ^ve  the 
Republicans  bO  Life  Senatorships.  He  added  that 
the  Bonapartist  Electoral  Committee  had  no  right 
to  pledge  the  party  to  the  course  indicated  by  the 
Orare  ;  that  it  was  nominated  by  the  Bonapartist 
members  of  the  late  Chamber,  with  amission  of  con- 
ciliation to  the  Conservatives  and  devotion  to  the 
Marshal ;  that  nine-tenths  of  the  psrty  thought  as 
he  did  ;  that  when  the  Emperor  began  his  fatal  re- 
forms he  I  was  the  only  objector  ;  that  the  Bona- 
partists were  parties  to  the  16th  of  May.  and  could 
not  now  lekve  it  in  the  lurch  ;  and  that  the  best  way 
to  serve  thie  Empire  was  to  serve  Prance. 

"  This  eyening  the  committee,  viz.,  M.  Booher,  the 
Duel  de  Padoue,  and  M.  JoUbois,  intervene  In  the 
quarrel  bylcondemning  M.  De  Cassagnac.  Tliey  tell 
hlmlhe  has  no  idea  of  the  difficulties  and  unwarnnta- 
ble  claims  they  are  contending  with,  that  he  h&s  In- 
considerately interfered  in  their  negotiations 
at  the  risk  of  endangering  their  success,  but 
thal^  they  will  prosecute  these  negotiations  with 
condliation  aud  prudence,  feeling  sure  that  the  result 
wiU  juitif^^  them  in  the  eyes  of  their  party.  To-mor- 
row wlU  sliow  what  M.  De  Cassagnac  says  to  this  re- 
buke, not  the  least  piquant  feature  in  the  affair  being 
thati  M.  Diigue  de  la  Fauconnerie,  a  leading  Bonapart- 
ist. until  recently  editor  of  the  Ordre,  warmly  sides 
with  him.  I 

• '  Meanwhile,  it  deserves  mention  that  M.  De  Cassag- 
nac confesses  this  evening  that  he  does  not  count 
very  confidently  on  a  Conservative  majority  at  the 
elections;  jthat  a  minority  of  50  would  be  a  signal 
victory  ;  that  M.  Gambetta,  ha\-in^  predicted  the  re- 
turn of  400  Republicans,  any  considerably  lower  fig- 
ure "ftfonld  show  the  reduced  Republican  majority 
that  if  they  were  not  quiet  a  second  dissolution  would 
dispose  of  them.  To  secure  a  Conservative  majority, 
M.  De  Cassagnac  would  require  the  state  of  sieee, 
in  order  to  bridle  the  press,-  'not  to  suppress  the 
Mot\d'Ordre  and  the  LaTiteme — they  are  our  best 
auxiUaries  and  if  they  did  not  exist  tney  would  have 
to  bb  invented— but  to  silence  the  li^niiilique  Fran- 
fawi,  the  Tempg,  the  XlXeme.  SiMe— in  shorty  all 
the  papers!  which  intercept  our  road  and  block  our 
whepls.'  M.  De  Cassagnac  pays  the  Ministry  a  very 
poor  compliment  in  saying  that  the  Rocbefort  papers 
are  Its  induu)ensable  auxiliaries,  aad  that  unless  the 
Moderate  [RepubUean  papers  are  gagged,  it  cannot 
win jthe  elections."    ^^^^^^^

The  seeond  Summer  meeting  of  the  Saratoga 
Baeiog  Association  was  opened  to-day  under  the 
moat  favorable  auspices.  The  trains  aU  day  yester- 
day iuid  this  morning  brought  huge  crowds  of  people 
to  attend  the  raoes,  filling  the  hotels  and  boarding- 
houses  to  repletion.  The  weather  wm  aU  that  could 
be  desired  for  radng,  and  there  was  a  eonUnuons 
stream  of  vehicles  on  the  road  leading  to 
the  course  during  the  hoar  preceding  that 
announced  for  the  sport  to  begin.  The 
grand  stand  was  crowded.  The  track  was 
in  good  condition,  although  not  as  fast  as  it  was 
on  Thursday.  The  four  races  created  a  great  deal  of 
enthusiasm,  espedaUy  among  the  outside  public,  as 
only  one  of  the  favorites  won.  The  knowing  ones 
were  severely  bitten,  especially  m  the  thhd  race, 
which  was  captured  by  Major  Barker,  the  rankest  of 
outsiders.  The  mutual  pools  paid  very  laige  sums, 
the  first  race  Pride  of  the  VUlage  paying  $30  30  ; 
second  race,  Parole,  $9  80  j  the  third  race,  Major 
Barker,  $142  70,  and  the  fourth  race.  Redding, 
$19  60.    The  detUls  of  the  sport  are  given  below.

of  a  mUe,  which  hod  closed  with  49  nominations, 
and  14  of  them  were  announced  on  the  card  as 
probable  starters.  Five  of  these  •  belong  to  Pierre 
LoriUard,  and  which  of  them  he  would  actuaUy  send 
to  the  post  was  not  known  to  those  not  in  the  confi- 
dence of  the  stable  untU  the  numbers  went  up  In  the 
judges'  stand.  Those  who  backed  the  stable,  there- 
fore, were  virtually  "going  it  blind,"  but  that  he 
would  start  his  best  was  an  assurance  to  the  specu- 
lators. When  the  jockeys  weighed  in, 
the  secret  was  out ;  Pierre  Lorillard's  starters  were 
Spartan,  who  had  not  yet  shown,  wid  Perfection. 
The  other  eompetitors  were  Bernard's  Wade  Hamp- 
ton and  Telephone,  McDaniel's  Fawn,  Puryeara 
Clifton,  George  L.  Lorillard's  Doke  of  Magenta  and 
Albert.  j\stor8  Pride  of  the  Villsge,  and  Johnson  So 
Co.'s  Bramble.  In  the  pools  just  before  the  start 
Pierre  Lorilland's  pair  were  the  favorites  at  $300  ; 
George  Lorillard's,  $230  Bramble,  $160;  Pride  of 
the\iUi«e,  $140,  and  the  field,  $125.  They  were 
started  in  the  chute,  and  after  a  short  delay  the  fiag 
fell,  and  they  were  off  to  a  somewhat 
straggling  start.  Fawn  was  first,  Pride  of 
the  Village  second.  Perfection  third,  Wade 
Hampton  fourth,  and  Spartan  fifth.  Once  under 
woy  doii-n  the  chute.  Perfection  rushed  to  the  front 
like  a  flash,  with  Pawn  second,  and  then  they  were 
speedily  lost  in  a  cloud  of  dust.  "VXTien  they  turned 
into  the  regular  track  at  the  half-mile  pole  they 
could  not  be  seen,  but  a  little  further  on  round  the 
lower  turn  Perfection  was  leading  four  lengths,  and 
seemed  to  have  the  race  at  her  mercj'.  Fawn  wa» 
stlU  in  the  second  place,  a  length  in  front  of  Pride 
of  the  Village,  with  Spartan  at  her  quarter,  closely  fol- 
lowed by  Bramble.  Further  on  Spartan  got  even  with 
Pride  of  the  VUlage,  and  the  pair  speedily  closed  to 
the  head  of  Fawn,  but  Perfection  still  kept  the  gap 
open  until  she  turned  into  the  home  stretch,  when  a 
whipping  race  began.  Perfection  was  losing  ground 
and  Bramble  rushed  up  to  the  second  place,  and  be- 
fore the  lower  end  of  the  stand  was  reached  be  had 
Perfection  beaten  and  looked  like  the  winner,  but  at 
this  Imoment  up  came  Pride  of  the  Village  with  a 
fine  l)ur8t  of  spfed,  in  the  middle  of  the  track,  and 
fol^ow-ing  her  oilLthe  outside  was  the  Duke  of  Ma- 
genta. At  the  distance  stand  Pride  of  the 
VUltee  came  rapidly  to'  the  front,  and  imme- 
diately .opening  a  gap  as  if  the  others  were 
standing  still,  won  the  race  amid  the  greatest  excite- 
ment^ by  three  leneths  in  1:1hJ4.  There  was  a  close 
stm^le  for  second  place,  which  was  won  by  Duke  of 
Magenta,  a  neck  In  front  of  Bramble  third,  Spartan 
fourth.  Perfection  fifth,  and  Fawn  sixth.  The  vic- 
tory of  Pride  of  the  Village  was  another  well  deaen-ed 
one  for  Mr.  Astor.  and  that  it  was  popular  could  be 
easily  observed  by  tho  applause  ivhich  greeted  the 
winner. 

THE   SLIMMER   HANDICAP. 

Now  comes  the  grand  event  of  the  day.  the  Stun- 
mer  handicap  for  aU  ages,  one  mile  and  three- 
quarters.  This  had  originally  47  nominations,  but 
40  of  them  had  declared  out,  including  Tom  OchUtree, 
who  j  had  been  handicapped  with  129  pounds. 
Seven  were  marked  on  the  card  as  starters,  but  St. 
James  had  been  scratched  last  night,  and  it  was 
known  thb»  rooming  that  Viceroy  would  not  put  in 
an  appearance,  so  that  when  tho  judges  summoned 
the  horses  to  the  track  but  five  sported 
silk,  which  were:  Reed's  Athlene,  Loufirstafi's 
George  r\"..  Lorillard's  Parole.  Doswell's 
Busliwhacker,  and  William.s'  Vera  Crux.  In  the  pools 
befoiU  the  start  Parole  sold  for  $h00,  Vera  Cruz, 
$470.  Bushwhacker.  ;p200,  and  the  field,  $105. 
The  distance  being  a  mUe  and  three-quarters,  they 
werejmustered  in  the  sectional  traek,  and  they  were 
speedily  sent  on  their  journey,  with  George  IV. 
slightly  leading  Bushwhacker,  the  others  being  weU 
togemer,  the  start  being  an  excellent  one.  As  they 
ran  down  the  chute  George  IV.  kept  in  front,  but  be- 
fore reaching  the  half-rafle  pole  as  they  turned  into 
the  regular  track  Athlene  had  passed  hun,  but  at  the 
momtnt  they  were  obscured  from  sight  by  a  dense 
eloua  of  dust.  On  the  lower  turn  Athlene  and 
George  were  racing  for  the  track,  but  tb«?y 
were  i  not  going  at  a  very  fast  rate,  Ath- 
lene 1  having  a  neck  the  best  of  it.  Three 
lengths  behind  the  pair  was  Bushwhacker,  and  four 
longt^s  l.)ebindhim  came  Parole  and  Vera  Cruz,  wait- 
ing an<i  watching  each  other.  \\Tien  they  turned  into 
the  siretch  Athl&ne  appeared  to  have  half  a  length 
the  bei*l  of  George,  but  when  they  passed  tlie  furlong 
pole  ihey  wore  eyen,  and  the  rear  ones  were  closing 
up  fast.  When  they  reached  tho  stand,  whidi  fiii- 
ionedl  the  first  three-quarters  of  a  nule  in  1:20, 
George  was  showing  the  way,  a  length  in  advance  of 
Athldue,  who  wa*  only  leading  Btishwhackej 
by  a  neck,  whUe  on  either  fiank  of 
the  latter  was  Parole  and  Vera  Cruz. 
Going  around  the  turn.  Evans  urgtni  Geoi^toabetter 
pare,  land  he  increased  his  lead  to  a  length  and  a 
naif,  but  Parole  closed  up  from  behind,  and  speedily 
assnised  the  second  position,  and  be  was  closely  fol- 
lowed up  by  Vera  Craz.  Goinjr  on,  George  stUl  fur- 
ther liicreased  his  lead  to  two  lengths  at  the  quar- 
'terp'>|e.  Parole  holding  the  second  place,  but  lapped 
at  tlid  saddle-girth  by  Vera  Cruz,  who  was  now  u 
length  and  a  half  before  Bushwhacker,  who  was  lead- 
ing Athlene  a  length.  As  they  went  along  the 
backstretch  Parole  forced  the  pate,  and  was 
soon  [lapping  the  quarter  of  George,  whUe  Vera 
Cruz  rushed  up  to  Parole's  shoulder  ready  to  chal- 
IcDg©  for  the  home  ruu.  When  tliey  reached  the 
hnlf-i^iile  pole  George  was  still  in  the  van,  half  a 
lengtl)i  before  Paroie.  who  was  the  some  distance 
ahead  of  Vera  Cruz,  the  three  being  thus  lapped  as 
they  began  the  run  around  the  turn.  Some  five 
lengths  away  from  them  was  Bushwhacker,  a  length 
ahead!  of  Athlene,  botli  of  them  hopelessly  beaten. 
As  they  came  round  the  lower  turn  the  race  became 
exciting,  as  Parole  and  Vera  Cruz  moved  up 
to  the  hfsd  of  George.  and  they  com- 
menced racing  in  earnest.  Hayward  then 
took  4  pull  on  Parole,  who  dropped  back  until  they 
turned  into  the  homestretch,  when  the  pace  became 
too  hCt  for  George,  who  began  to  falter,  and  Parole 
was  soon  even  with  Vera  Cruz.  As  they  passed  the 
furlonlg  pole  George  was  receiving  the  wmp  unspar- 
ingly, |aud  Vera  Cruz  began  to  falter,  when  Parole,  yet 
untouched,  came  to  the  front,  and  Sayers  used  every 
effortjwith  .whip  and  spur  to  get  another  spurt  out  of 
Vera  ^izpbut  it  was  useless,  and  Paro^  won  the 
race  easily  by  two  lengths  in  3:08.  amid  great  cheer- 
ing. Vera  Cruz  was  four  lengths  ahead  of  GeorvelV., 
who  was  eight  lengths  behind  Bushwhacker,  be  being 
the  s^me  distance  in  advance  of  Athlene.  The  easy 
manner  in  which  Parole  disposed  of  Vera  Cruz  dis- 
heartened the  Western  men,  who  were  not  as  jubi- 
lant as  on  the  previous  days.  The  first  mile  of  the 
raeefvom  the  starting  point  to  the  quarter  pole  was 
run  in  1:47,  and  the  last  mile,  from  stand  to  stand, 
in  1:48. 


THE    MILE    AND  A   QUARTER. 

The  third  event  on  the  card  was  a  free  handicap  of 
a  mile  and  a  quarter  for  all  ages,  which  proved  to  be 
the  most]  disgustiog  surprise  of  the  meeting  to  the 
knowing  ones,  as  the  old  war  horse,  McDaniel, 
whose  stable  had  come  to  be  despised,  upset  the  pot, 
and  spoiled  all  the  calculations  of  combination 
makers.  jThere  were  five  entries,  including  Harbeck's 
BertramJ  Bowie's  Mary,  Pierre  Lorillard's  Bombast, 
McDaniel's  Major  Barker,  and  Reed's  Cardinal 
Wolsey.  This  was  considered  a  safe  thing  for  Bomr 
bast,  but  the  result  once  i^oin  demonstrated  the  un- 
certainty  of  racing.  It  will  be  seen  by  the  pools  sold 
that  the  catastrophe  to  the  heavy  betting  men 
was  very  great,  as  Bombast  brought  $900, 
Wolsey  $200,  Bertram  $200,  Mary  175, 
and  Major  Barker  $110.  They  were  started  at  the 
three-quSrter  pole  after  a  couple  of  breaks  away, 
with  Bombast  and  Bertram  apparently  In  front. 
When'thtey  reached  the  furlong  pole  Bertram  was  in 
the  lead,  I  and  reaching  the  judges' stand,  he  showed 
a  length  in  wlvance  of  Marj*,  Bombast,  and  Wolsey. 
who'  were  on  even  terms,  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Maiorj  Barker.  Going  around  the  turn  Bertram 
still  I  held  his  lead,  but  Wolsey  moved 
up  %o  I  him.  and  at  the  quarter  pole 
Bertram  j  was  but  half  a  length  iu  front 
of  Wolsey,  who  was  the  some  distance  before 
Bombast,  he  leading  .NJ  ary  by  a  length,  with  Major 
Barket  Btill  in  the  rear.  Going  along  the  back 
stretch  Wolsey  fell  back,  and  Bombast  went  up  to 
the  second  place,  and  was  leading  him  a  length, 
being  ^t  I  the  tail  of  Bertram.  By  the  time  they 
reached  the  half-mile  pole  Bombast  hod  got  to  the 
saddle^tth  of  Bertram,  and  Wolsey  was  lap- 
ping Bombast,  and  a  length  behind  came  Major 
Bark^,  I  just  ahead  of  .Mary.  When  they 
came  ardand  the  lower  turn  Bombast  cot  to  the  head 
of  Bertram,  and  Wolsey  fell  back,  while  in  tlie  mean- 
time Major  Barker  bade  farewell  to  Man^,  and  ran  up 
third-  When  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch 
Bertramj  and  Bombast  were  together  aud  Major 
Barker  still  third ;  but  at  the  furlong  pole  Bertram

TBX  STEBPl'E-CHASI. 

The  day's  sport  eonpladed  with  a  handicap  steeple- 
chase over  the  usual  course,  which  ended  in  a  catas- 
trophe to  one  of  the  jockeys  and  to  the  heavy  specu- 
lators. Tfaaze  were  ^  competloors,  indadhig  Trou- 
ble, WeOflDT,  Moonstooew  Audubon,  Bedding,  and 
Doubtful;  and  of  this  lot  Waller  was  the 
favorite,  and  bionght  $325;  Trouble,  $300; 
Bedding,  $100,  and  the  field  $90.  They  were 
,  started  as  usual  Ip  the  field  on  the  east  side  of  the 
'  fractional  track,  and  when  the  flag  fell  Trouble  was 
in  the  lead,  Doubtfol  second.  Moonstone  third, 
Waller  and  Audtibon  together,  with  Redding  in  the 
rear.  The  first  obstacle  was  a  stone  wall,  and 
u  they  Jumped  this  Audubon  collided  vith 
Waller,  and  tiie  pair  rolled  over.  Audu- 
bon rose  again  and  was  remounted,  but  Waller 
ran  away  and  was  finally  caught  tn  the  field, 
whQe  his  jockey.  Little,  lay  behind  the  wall  severely 
injured  and  unable  to  rise-  Moonstone,  in  the  mean- 
time, had  taken  the  lead  and  led  Doubtful  a  length 
over  the  second  obstacle — a  fence  lower  down 
the  sectional  track— Trouble  was  third  and 
Redding  fotnrth.  In  this  order  they  took 
the  four  sneceeding  obstacles,  until  they 
came  to  the  north  section  of  the  water 
jump  in  front  of  the  grand  stand,  when  Tronhle^^nd 
Moonstone  leaped  it  simultaneously,  three  lengths 
ahead  of  Doubtful,  third,  and  Bedding  still  lielng  up 
in  the  rear.  The  ninth  and  tenth  jiunps  were  across 
the  rails  of  the  chute,  into  the  west  field,  when 
Trouble  pushed  to  the  fronY,  and  showed  a  length 
ahead  of  Moonstone,  who  was  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Doubtful,  and  Redding  still  fourth.  Over  the  wall 
they  went,  and  then  took  the  track  rails,  over  the 
turn  near  the  quarter  pole,  and  dropped  down  into  the 
outside  ornortn  field,  when  Redding  assumed  the  front 
position.  Doubtful  going  up  second,  and  Trouble  third, 
while  Moonstone  dropped  back  to  the  rear  and  four 
lengths  behind.  Running  up  the  incline  In  front  of 
Belmont's  stable,  which  is  oeyond  the  back  stretch, 
they  took  th.e  big  stone  wall,  with  Redding  three 
lengths  In  advance  of  Trouble,  who  had  passed 
Doubtful  and  was  leading  him  three  lengths.  Tak- 
ing another  fence,  their  course  lay  over  the  rails  of 
the  back  stretch,  then  across  the  lower  end 
of  the  chute,  when  they  were  again  in 
the  east  field,  and  they  were  ruiming  in  the 
same  order,  but  Moonstone  did  not  like  the  course, 
and  balked  at  every  jump,  and  was  out  of  the  race. 
They  now  took  a  fence  and  hedge,  then  a  fence,  and 
then  the  stone  wall  this  side  of  the  furlong  pole, 
where  Bedding  was  half  a  length  in  front  of  Trouble, 
who  was  six  lengths  before  Doubtful,  with  Moon- 
stone a  long  ^s^  beMnd  and  being  gradually  lost  in 
the  distance.  '  They  now  came  to  the  south  section  of 
the  water  jump,  and  Trouble  leai>ed  it  at  the  same 
time  as  Bedding,  and  creating  a  great  deal  of  en- 
thusiasm. Over  the  chute  they  went  into 
the  west  field.  Trouble  now  taking  the 
lead  by  a  length  and  a  half,  Redding  second,  some  10 
lengths  before  DoubtfuL  At  the  stone  wall  Trouble 
led  two  lengths,  and  was  the  same  at  the  hedge  and 
ditch  near  the  upper  turn.  They  now  made  a  curve, 
and  jumped  the  stone  wall  opposite  to  the  field 
stand  at  the  head  of  the  chute,  and  Trouble  still  led 
two  lengths,  with  Bedding  second,  a  dozen  lengths 
away  from  Doubtful,  who  was  out  of  the  race  luso. 
Running  down  the  west  side  of  tho  chute  they  took 
a  stone  wall,  then  the  rails  Into  the  track  near  the 
half-mile  pole,  where  Trouble  was  two  lengths  before 
Bedding.  Round  the  turn  Trouble  increased  his  lead 
to  four  lengths,  but  when  they  turned  into  the  home 
stretch  Itedding  closed  rapidly,  and  there  was  great 
excitement  as  they  came  over  the  final  hurdle  simul- 
taneously. It  waa  nip  and  tuck  between  them 
until  within  a  few  yards  of  the  stand,  where 
Redding  showed  his  neck  to  the  front,  and  thus  won 
the  race  in  5:46^  Doubtful  was  third,  a  hundred 
yards  behind,  and  Moonstone  fourth,  half  a  mile 
away.  Audubon  went  the  course,  and  occasioned 
much  amusement  by  the  efforts  of  his  jockey  to  get 
him  over  the  obstacles.  Little,  the  rider  of  Waller, 
still  lay  behind  the  first  wall,  Burrotrnded  by  a  crowd, 
and  was  finally  removed  lu  a  carriage,  with  his  collar- 
bone fractured. 

CRICKET  AT  HOBOKEX. 

A  GAME  BETWEEN  THE  ST.  GEORGES,  OP  HO- 
BOKEN,  AND  THE  STATEN  ISLAKD  CLUB 
— DEFEAT  OF  THE  FORMER. 
The  St.  George  Club  and  the  Staten  Island 
Club  played  a  game  of  cricket  on  the  grounds  of  the 
former,  at  Hoboken,  yesterday.  The  play  bristled 
with  good  points,  and  the  score  testifies  to  strong, 
careful  aud  attentive  work.  The  St.  Georges  were 
the  first  to  go  to  the  bat,  with  Giles  and  Hosford  to 
the  wickets.  They  were^  however,  put  out  without 
scoring  a  mn,  as  was  also  Cashman.  Marsh  then 
went  iu  and  held  his  wicket  while  seven  of  his  com- 
rades were  put  out^  and  carried  his  bat  from  the  field 
with  a  score  of  24  runs.  The  Staten  Islanders  played 
but  one  inning,  and  in  that  they  ran  the 
score  up  to  125.  The  batting  of  Whetham  was  superb; 
he  made  nine  leg  hits  for  two  points  each,  an  d,  with 
other  single  and  three  hits,  made  the  magnificent 
score  of  6^  runs.  Hitchcock,  who  otherwise  did 
good  fielding  for  the  St.  Georges,  missed  a  ball  from 
>Mietham  at  long  leg  after  he  had  made  three  runs. 
Harvey  did  some  clean  and  graceful  bowlixtg,  aud 
made  the  record  of  six  wickets  for  14  runs,  in  the 
St.  Georges'  second  Inning.  Hosford  made  a  fine 
stand  for  19  runs,  and  Giles  made  the  best  hit  that 
has  been  seen  on  tbe  ground  since  that  made  by 
Grace,  of  the  English  12.  He  sent  the  ball  over  the 
wires,  and  scored  6  for  his  party  by  the  feat.  He 
retired,  afterbeing  caught  by  Whitham,  with  a  score 
of  Id  runs.  Moron  also  made  a  6  hit.  and  did  some 
patient  playing  for  six  other  points.  Kessler's  field- 
ing for  the  Staten  Island  Club  was  excellent,  and 
did  much  to  keep  tho  score  of  the  Sc  Geoiges  down 
to  102  runs  for  both  innings.  The  .Staten  Islanders 
won  the  game  by  one  inning  and  23  runs.  Tho  fol- 
lowing is  the  score :

the   members    of   the    National    lUfie    Association. 
Shooting  was  quite  as  lively  at  the  long  ranges  as 
usual,  however.    Four  competitors  for  places  on  the 
international  team  shot  full  scores  to  complete  tin- 
finished  records  in  tho  late  competitions.    Capt.  J. 
G-  Story,  of  tbe  Team  Committee,  superintended  the 
shooting.    Col.  Bodine,  Messrs.  Alien,  Blydenburgh, 
Pulton,  Hodgman,  Gunn,  and  others  shot  over  the 
same  ranges  upon   adjoining   targets  for  practice.

A  COXVEXTIOX  OF  BOAT  CLUBS. 

REASONS  FOR  THE  FORMATION  OF  THEIR  AS- 
SOCU.TION— A  GREAT  ANNUAL  ^GATTA 
TO  BE  HELD  IN  THE  VIOINITT  OF  THE 
METROPOLIS. 
The  custom  which  has  obtained  of  recent  years 
of  locating  the  annual  regatta  of  the  National  As8o< 
dation  of  Amateur  Oarsmen  outside  of  the  Metropo- 
lis has  long  been  regarded  as  a  standing  injustice  to 
the  boat  clnba  of  New- York  and  vicinity,  who  are  in- 
variably called  upon  to  defray  the  greater  part  of 
the  cost  of  these  affairs.  While  New-York  has  fur- 
nished the  crack  crews,  the  attendance,  and  the  money 
to  "mn  "  these  annual  regattas,  the  hotel-keepers  of 
other  cities  or  of  Summer  resorts  have  been  the  sole 
persons  to  profit  by  them.  With  a  view  to  putting  an 
end  to  this  practice,  and,  at  the  same  time,  to  en- 
courage aquatic  sports  in  the  Metropolis,  the  officers 
and  leading  members  of  the  principal  clubs  'ot  this 
City.  Brooklyn,  Newark,  Staten  island,  and  else- 
where, have  united  in  the  following  call  to  the  ama- 
teur oarsmen  of  the  above-named  localities  : 

"Whereas,  the  National  Association  of  Amateur  Oars- 
men have  det«nnin(^  to  hold  tbe  annual  regatta  of  said 
aSKOdatiou  tbls  year  at  Detroit,  which  place  is  at  such  a 
distance  that  none  ot  our  Eastern  clubg  can  make  entries 
therein  without  great  loss  of  time  and  expenditure  of 
money ;  and  wbereas,  the  proceedings  of  said  associatinu 
in  abandoning  the  Bast  as  their  theatre  of  action,  (from 
whlcn  section  tbe  originators  of  said  association  hail,  au4 
where  the  majority  of  *  its  members  now  re- 
side.) has  left  this  section  ,  of  the  country 
T^ithout  any  recognized  great  regatta;  therefore 
we.  the  undersigned^  members  of  a  number  of 
boating  clubs  in  >ew-\ori:  City  and  ^icinity,  do  invite 
your  association  to  send  three  delegates  to  a  I'onventiou 
of  boat  clubs  to  be  held  st  the  Flftb-A venue  HoteL  In  the 
City  of  Kew-Tork.  on  the  16th  day  of  Angust.  1H77.  at  8 
o'clock  in  the  evening.  The  object  of  this  convention  is 
to  take  measures  to  form  a  new  association  of  boat  dabs, 
which,  when  organized,  will  institute  au  annual  regiitta, 
to  be  held  in  the  vicinity  of  New-Yori:  City,  and  to  pre- 
senile and  enact  just,  proper,  and  equable  rules  and  lawg 
for  the  governance  and  regulation  of  our  noble  and  popu- 
lar pastime.  There  are  In  New- York  and  vicinity  over 
60  active  boating  organlzationa.  With  this  matenaJ.  we 
believe,  an  associ&tfon  can  be  formed  which  would  be 
second  to  none  in  our  landin  weigiit  and  inflnencse.  Your 
hearty  co-operation  in  this  measure  i£  most  eomestly  re- 
quested." -. 

The  new  movement  is  not  believed  to  be  hostile  to 
the  present  National  Association,  bnt^.is  simply  to 
^i%*e  the  oarsmen  of  Xew-York  a  cheap,  easy,  and  en- 
joyable means  of  cultivating  their  favorite  sport  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the.  City,-<without  being  dragge<I 
off  to  mstant  points  in  tiie^^ouutry.  where  they  are 
subjected  to  large  en>ense,  and  derive  but  little  sat-" 
isfaction  from  the  class  of  contests  offered.  The 
plan  is  to  have  periodical  regattas  on  the  Harlem 
River,  on  the  Passaic,  and  on  the  Kill  von  Kull 
in^um,  thus  giving  variety  to  the  different  con- 
tests- Entries  can  be  made  by  any  or  all  clubs, 
or  by  any  members  of  them.  The  prizes  to  be  offered 
will  consist  of  medals,  fio^  and  other  intrinsically 
inexpensive  trophies,  while  the  whole  cost  of  the 
regattas  can  be  more  than  covered  by  the  receipts  of 
the  association  steamers  for  ^>ectators,  the  price  of 
admission  to  which  will  be  $1.  The  association  will 
be  olficored  by  a  Commodore,  Vice-C^Jinmodore.  and 
other  oflBcials,  to  be  chosen  by  the  clubs  composing 
it,  and  all  that  enterprise,  good  management,  and  a 
proper  e^rif  de  eorpx  on  the  part  of  the  managers 
cau  do  will  be  done  to  render  it  a  success. 

A  leading  member  of  one  of  the  boat  clubs  who  has 
been  largely  instrumental  In  getting  the  present 
scheme  under  way,  stated  the  plans  of  the  projectors 
to  a  Times  reporter  yesterday,  as  follows  :  "  ^  ou  see 
the  boat  clubs  of  other  cities  have  monopolized  the' 
regattas-of  the  National  Association  for  years  past. 
In  1876.  the  regatta  was  held  in  Philadelphia,  iu 
1875  at  Troy,  and  in  1874  at  Saratogn.  New-York 
and  the  neighboring  cities,  which  contribute 
an  overwhelming  majority  of  the  crews,  the  money, 
and  the  atteudauce,  have  been  altogether  left 
out  in  tlie  eold.  As  a  result,  local  interest  in  the 
sport  is  all  dead,  and  will  remain  so  until  we  do  some- 
thing to  arouse  the  public  to  its  importance.  We 
mean  no  harm^  to  the  National  Association,  but  we 
do  mean  to  get  up  a  series  of  regattas  worthy  of  the 
Empire  City,  and  which  mav  bo  attended  and  en- 
joyed by  thousands  of  Otir  oitlzens  at  a  trifling  cost. 
There  are  no  finer  courses  than  those  of 
the  Harlem  River,  the  Passaic,  and  the 
Kills,  and  we  propose  to  utilize  them  for 
regattas  of  a  class  which  will  draw  oouatic  talent 
and  money  to  the  Metropolis  instead  of  taking  it 
away  from  it.  To  witness  a  first-class  ragatta  at 
Troy  or  Saratoga  costs  a  New-Yorker — including 
fare,  hotel  bills.  &c. — from  $30  to  $50  ;  to  witness 
the  same  character  of  race  on  the  Harlem  <»*  the 
Kills  will  cost  him  but  $1  or  $1  ?t(X.  We  will  have 
gold  medals  and  flags  for  prizes,  laud  do  away  with 
the  *  punch-bowl '  business,  which  has  proved  so  ex- 
pensive and  unsatisfactory.  Flags  and  cheap  tro- 
phies can  be  kept  about  a  boat-house  where  they 
can  be  constantly  seen  by  members  ;  and  as  the 
honor  of  winning,  ■which  they  symbolize,  is  the  chief 
inducement,  they  will  really  prove  more  Incentive 
than  the  cosGy  gold  and  silver  ware  which  has  been 
the  'rage'  of  late  years.  Why,  the  Argonauia's 
prizes  are  so  valuable  that  they  have  to  pay  $73  a 
year  to  beep  them  under  lock  and  key  in  a  safe  de- 
posit company.  All  the  officers  of  the  New-\'ork 
Club,  with  whom  I  have  talked,  are  delighted  with 
the  scheme,  and  prophesy  for  It  an  unquestioned  suc- 
cess." 

The  meeting  on  the  16th  inst  wfll  adopt  Immedi- 
ate measures  toward  instituting  a  series  of  local  re- 
fattas,  the  first  of  which  will  take  place  in  Septem- 
er  next.

LETTER  FROM  2rRS.   CRAPO. 

A  Xew-Bedford  paper  prints  the  following 
extracts  from  a  letter  written  by  Mrs.  Crapo  to  a 
gentleman  in  that  dty,  and  dated  Penzance,  Wales, 
July  22: 

Beab  Sib  :  We  have  had  a  very  hard  time  of  it 
coming  here.  We  should  have  gozifi  into  Falmouth, 
but  could  not  cu  account  of  a  head  tide,  heavy  sco. 
and  foggy  weather.  We  laid  upon  *  wet  bed  for  40 
days,  aua  I  have  pains  all  through  my  body.  I  fainted 
twice  on  the  passage.  We  had  seven  gales  of  wind, 
the  lost  one  being  very  hard,  and  the  seas  run- 
ning mounttuna  high.  It  lasted  froin  Satuiflay  after- 
noon till  Tuesday  morning,  but  God  was  with  us.  and 
He  calmed  the  sea  so  that  we  we^e  able  to  make  sail 
Tbe  next  momiug  Gk)d  spoke  to  me  and  said,  "am 
with  thee  -,  don't  fcar.  Trust  in  me.  and  I  will  land 
thee  safe  on  the  shore."  Tho  tears  dropped  down 
my  face  like  rain.  Thomas  [her  husband]  could  not 
have  stood  the  hardships  15  days  more,  ne  was  wet 
through  so  much  and  his  liauda  were  sore  from  steer- 
ing. He  was  70  hours  without  rest.  We  would  not 
undertake  this  voyage  again  for  eonsideroble.  •  •  » 
Nothing  could  make  n«  go.  The  people  here  were 
very  glad  to  see  us,  and  have  treated  us  very  kindly. 
Our  arrivsj  has  caused  great  excitement  in  the  town. 

Toura  moat  truly,  JOHANNA  CRAPO.

FROM  VAEIOUS  QUARTERS. 

JOHN   W,    YOUNG'S  NEW  MARSIAQEi 

HOW  BEIGHAM*S   APOSTATE  SON  EE-EITEEE>J 
I^LYGAMT — THE    STOET  OF  LIBBY   CAK-^' 
FIELD  AND  CULRA  STENHOUSK. 
Oorrttpondenee  ttf  Ou  Am  Franamn  BvOetiM, 
Salt  Lak»  Crrr,  July  30.  1877. 

Almost  every  one  has  heard  of  John  W. 
Young.  Brigham's  "  apostate  "  son.  as  he  la  termed 
among  the  Gentiles,  because  he  virtually  renonaeed 
the  doctrine  of  polygamy  several  yean  ago.  John 
W.  is  the  youngest  child  of  the  Prophet's  legalwlf^ 
and  is  tne  smartest,  and  has  seen  more  of  the  ditoJ^a 
world  than  any  other  of  Brigham's  children.  He  Is'a 
shrewd  business  man,  a  railroad  magnate  In  a  Tn^H 
way,  and  has  been  a  very  frequent  operator  in  WaJl- 
street.  His  contact  with  the  GcntUes  in  hi*  long  and 
freou*  nt  visits  to  the  large  fcastem  citieiR  has  not 
teuued  to  Increase  his  faith  in  Mormouiton,  and  it  baa 
long  been  well  known  that  he  tmlv  remained  in  tha 
Church  for  the  emoluments  which  his  father's  pcyu' 
tion  afforded  him.  Of  coureo,  these  privileges.  includ> 
ing  the  hanrlling  of  churdi  tithing,  were  verv 
convenient,  but  otherwise  he  bad  no  belief  In  the 
doctrines  of  this  gigantic  religion*  fraud-  Like  the 
majority  of  prominent  Mormons.  John  W.  «>mbTaoed 
polygamy,  but  for  several  years  be  has  been  a  nao- 
nogamiBt.  His  fiiBt  wife  was  from  Philadelphia,  and 
it  was  while  on  a  visit  to  her  relatives  that  he  met 
the  woman  for  whom  he  discarded  both  first  and  sec- 
ond wives.  He  was  a  handsome,  attractive  man.  and 
she  a  dashing  young  widow,  and  it  seems  it  was  a 
desperate  case  of  love  at  firat  sight.  .She  knew  very 
well  about  his  matrimonial  entanglements,  as  hisiirBt 
wife  was  her  own  roustn ;  hut  that  did  not  prevent 
her  accompanying  him  to  Utah  under  promise  tn 
marry  him  after  their  arrival  if  he  would  discard 
his  other  wives,  which  was  accordingly  doue.  Thi* 
young  woman,  *  ■  LIbby  ( 'anfield. "  an  she  Is  familiarly 
lernied,  exercised  so  potent  au  infinence  over  John 
"W.  as  to  induce  him  t'>  marrv  her  in  an  Eastern  _ 
church  according  to  the  Episcopal  rites,  after  he  had 
obtained  Mormon  divorcea,  and  it  is  said  that  ha 
solemnly  promised  her  nevor  to  marry  again  dnriiij; 
her  lifetime.  But,  a?  the  old  anyiue  eoea,  "  One 
that  is  false  with  one  can  l»e  false  w-ith  two,"  and  leo 
it  has  proved  in  this  care.  She  had  no  scruplce  in 
inflnencing  him  to  de«^  the  others  for  her.  and  now 
she  in  turn  has  been  set  aside  for  a  fairer  and  mora 
youthful  consort. 

Despite  his  vows  tx>  remain  always  true  to  her« 
John  W.  has  taken  another  wife,  and  under ctrrum- 
stances  which  make  the  relations  of  the  Yonns  family 
a  little  more  mixed  up  than  they  were  bt?fore-  Ru- 
mor has  It  tlmt  Johnny  was  com'pelled'to  again  "Hva 
his  religion,"  In  onler  to  satisfy  those  good  aalnts 
who  were  in  doubt  in  regard  to  his  piety,  and  who  do 
not  want  on  *•  apostate  "  as  second  head  of  the 
Chtirch  ;  but  those  who  are  bett^-r  infunned  do  not 
hesitate  to  say  that  the  charms  of  the  new  bride  have 
overthrown  his  allt^anc*  to  the  rather  j>asxee  Libbv 
Canfield.  Robert  iSytton  says  that  "  Gay  youth 
loves  gay  youth.  *  Certainly  our  experience  showit 
that  the  house  of  Young  the  older  it  grows  loves 
younger  brides,  and  the  risins  seneratiun  are  not  he- 
hind  their  elders  in  this  particular. 

Joseph  A.,  the  oldest  son  of  Brigham.  who  died  » 
vear  or  two  since,  left  soA-eral  widows,  althon^h.  lik« 
John,  he  had  been  practically  a  iu»»noffninwt*for « 
number  of  years,  liaiing  liv*d  only  with  his  funrtli 
and  favorite  wife.  Clara  ^^fenhou8e.  a  dauehtrr  of

that  still  clings  to  this  reli^on.  and  ^he  i«  so  bigotecl 
and  fail Biical' that  for  a  lone  time  oftfr  her  parvuta

treated  them  with  the  utmost  contempt.  She  wa** 
married  to  Joseph  A.  when  ouly  a  chila.  aud  is  still 
youthful  and  very  nttracTi\"e,  po8»»*s.'iing  a  crest  deal 
of  her  mother's  well-known  lYench  ^anesiw  and  suav-

that  Johnny  bad  suddenly  beconje  verj- religioift.  and 
e\iuced  an  ardent  desire  to  follow  'th^  scriptural 
teaching  of  "taking  his  dead  brothers  widow  t<» 
wife  " :  but  Labby  creatAi  such  a  furore  that  the  idea 
was  instautlv  abandoned,  and  nobody  imagined  that 
Johnny  would  have  the  temerity  ever  to  broach  th^ 
subject  again.  "When  .Tuseph  A.  *iiod,  Brigh.tm  as- 
sumed the  management  of  his  a^irs.  transferred  all

Froiu  the  London  Teieffraph.  July  30- 
By  the  arrival  at  Southampton  of  a  Scotcli 
seaman  named  William  Inman,  an  extraordinary 
story  of  poisoning  at  sea  has  been  revealed.  It  H 
alleged  that  while  the  bark  Cr^iwn  Prince,  com- 
manded by  Capt.  Robert  Cochrane,  and  bulon;duglo  St.

Thus  Donna  Clara,  as  she  crushes 
_With  dainty-foot  the  yneta'  pride. 
W^  starts  the  maid  with  rosy  blushes  f 

Her  baudaome  lover's  by  her  side.  _^ 
And,  iiand  in  hand,  the  lovers  wander 

Xn  a  delldoua  dream  of  bliss  ;  ^

Fiihale  In  muaio  on  a  kiss. 
And  o'er  them  beams  the  soft  moon's  lustre. 

And  am'rona  sephyrs  gently  sigh; 
The  bluaiiing  roses,  as  <6ey  cluster. 

Listen  in  silent  ecstasy. 
And  gently  sway  the  blooming  rosea, 

Deepening  with  a  purple  hue  ; 
The  langnia  lily  slowly  closes 
Her  trembliiig  lips  to  kiss  the  dew. 
"  Sweet  anpl.  by  those  eyes  that  light  me,

All  their  store  of  glowing  white.

FAJSCMETTE,  THE  GOAT  OF  BOULAIX-' 
riLLIEHS. 


AN  EPISODE  OP  THE  SIEOE  OP  PARIS. 

While  the  German  Army  inclosed  in  ita 
tron  grasp  the  most  brilliant  and  pleasure-loving 
tdty  of  Europe,  transforming  in  s  moment  its 
'Spicnrean  population  into  a  people  of  heroes,  the 
isnrirons  once  :<o  gay  and  so  beautiful  had  experi- 
■snced  a  change  almost  as  great.  Most  of  the  de- 
'tached  villas  were  deserted,  or  occupied  by  the- 
'Bnemy,  and  the  villages,  -whose  regular  inhabi- 
tants had  either  taken  refuge  in  Paris  or  fled  to- 
%  distance,  were  rcpopulated  by  a  singular  as- 
lemblage  of  individuals,  belonging  to  all  classes 
©f  society,  and  bound  together  only  by  the  tie 
:9f  a  common  nationality,  and  the  necessity  of . 
[Sliding  a  shelter  and  providing  for  their  daily 
irants. 

The  hamlet  of  BoulainvUliers,  which  had  been 
Itlttis  abandoned,  had  received  an  entirely  newt 
isolony,  and  its  beautiful  avenue  car- 
peted tvith  turf  of  the  most  lovely  green, i 
had  all  the  appearance  -of  &f  camp.j 
&i  long  as  the  season  •'  trould  permit, , 
Booking  was  caified  on  in  the  open  air,  and> 
Cronps  wei-e  constantly  to  be  seen  surrounding 
the  fires  and  exchanging  accounts  of  their  laxi- 
tnal  miafortimes. 

A  painter  of  Fleurs,  bearing  the  English,  or 
father  Scotch,  name  of  MacHenry,  was  among 
these  refugees.  He  had  brought  with  him  from 
Cohnnbes,  where  he  had  before  resided,  a  re-  - 
markably  beautiful  white  goat  called  Fanchette. 
This,  creature,  to  which  her  master  waa  much 
attached,  figures  iu  the  most  of  his  pictures.; 
Jji^t  and  graceful  as  a  gazelle,  she  is  represent^ 
^  sometimes  cropping  ■  delicately  the.  green 
blanches  of  the  hedgerows  and  bushes,  some- 
times entangled  iu  a  maze  of  brier-roses,  their 
pink  blossoms  and  green  leaves  falling  arotind 
her  in  elegant  garlands,  and  contrasting  well 
with  the  snowy  whiteness  of  her  skin. 

Fanchette  was  a  universal  favorite  ;  and  few 
there  were  at  Boulainvilliers  who  would  not 
hare  deprived  themselves  of  a  morsel  of  the 
iMead  sometimes  so  hard  to  procure,  that  they 
might  reserve  a  mouthful  for  the  goat^  which,, 
however,  r  the  saucy  thing  would  only  accept. 
(ram  her  particular  friends. 

The  grace  and  rare  intelligence  of  the  animal." 
traqaently  relieved  the  miseries  of  the  siege., 
All  were  surprised  at  the  wonderful  education. 
Iter  master  had  succeeded  in  giving  her.  He. 
faaieven  taught  her  something  of  his  art ;  and 
It -was  really  extraordinary  to  see  the  sensible 
toeattire  bnxily  employed  in  arranging  pebbles 
on  the  ground,  so  as  to  form  a  rude  resemblance 
to  a  human  profile,  often  grotesque  enough,  but 
■tni  Buch  as  one  occasionally  sees  on  human 
ahoulders  ;  and  looking  at  her  work,  one  could 
'Hot  help  thinking  that  after  all  the  lower  ani-. 
mala  are,  perliaps,  not  so  far  inferior  to  us  aa  we 
■wpoee. 

f  The  art  -nith  which  Fanchette  selected  from 
ftl^Qiich  of  flowers  each  one  that  was  named  tot 
hMt  was  really  marvelous.  Roses,  wallflowers.  | 
telipa,  camellias,  were  promptly  chosen  from 
Hie  number,  and  It  was  rare  indeed  that  she  - 
Bade  the  least  mistake.  Two  centuries  ago. 
tbey  would  have  burned  the  poor  beast  for  a 
irttoh. 

^e  exercise  which  she  preferred  to  all  others 
Boncistied  in  catching  on  her  horns  a  series  of, 
brut  Tings  wUch  her  master  threw  up  in  the 
mix.  This  she  did  with  the  greatest  address  ;/ 
aoui-when  she  had  got  a  dozen  or  so  of  them  en- 
■etxeUng  her  brow  like  a  diadem  she  would  be-. 
cUl  jumping  and  galloping  and  shaking  her 
Mad  to  make  them  jingle,  till,  over  excited  by 
jlkidr  rough  music.-  she  would  end  by  dancing  in 
ilha  moat  fantaatio  style  on  her  hind  feet,  till 
ktfaiad  at  length  with  her  exertions,  she  vot4d 
!%c|di>d  toward  her  master  and  throw  the  rings 
•tiUafeet. 

Among   those  who  had  found  refuge  in  the 

'  Ttfni1°*  was  a  chUd  of  6  years  old  called  Marie, 

Ito  daughter  of  a  peasant  whose  farm  had  been 

binned  Dy  the  invaders.    She  was  an  object  of

botrnded  away,  and  how  rejoiced  was  the  littl » 
one  to  have  again  by  her  sidte^'er  darling  Far  - 
chette!  NesUing  her  head  under  the  child's 
hand,  a  world  of  loving  things  were  inte) - 
changed  in  their  mute  caresses. 

It  once  happened  that  a  lady  having  in  he  r 
hand  a  crown  of  artiiicial  'ivy  which  sha 
had  picked  up  somewhere,  probably  tbs 
dftris  of  a  school  f6tS  during  happier 
times,  placed  It  on  ti\e  head  of  thj 
nttle  Marie.  Fanchette,  rising  on  her  hind  leg! , 
examined  it  with  comicid  curiosity  ;  and,  bavin  x 
made  up  her  mind  on  the  subject,  scampered  o  f 
to  an  old  tree  close  by,  around  whose  trunk  th  a 
real  i-vy  twined  in  thick  and  glossy  wreath; , 
butted  at  it  -with  her  horns,  tvristing  it  roun  i 
them,  and  tearing  off  long  trailing  garland! . 
She  then  ran  back  ih  triumph  to  throw  her 
treasures  at  the  child's  leet,  saying  as  clearly  a  9 
If  she  had  the  gift  of  speech  :  "Look.  This  is 
better  than  the  coarse  imitation  thev  hav  3 
decked  you  with ;  this  is  tho  real  thing  ?'' 

Another  day  the  child  was  looking  at  hersel  t 
in  a  mirror,  and  Fanchette  immediately  bega  i 
to  do  the  same.  The  expression  of  sadness  an  1 
wonder  in  her  eyes  seemed  to  say  so  plainly  : 
'■  Why  are  Marie  and  1  .so  different?  If  Iweis 
like  her  I  could  speak  to  her,  and  then  w  i 
should  love  each  other  still  better  I" 

One  evening  Marie,  who  -was  sitting  by  he  r 
mother's  side,  began  to  fidget  and  complain  c  C 
an  unea?y  sensation  in  her  back.  Hermothei, 
busily  engaged  with  some  work,  and  thinl  - 
ing  the  child  was  only  disposed  to  be  troi  - 
blesome,  examined  it  slightly,  and  told  he  r 
to  be  quiet ;  but  the  poor  little  thin ; 
continued  to  complain, .-  when  the  mothei , 
getting  out  of  temper,  gave  her  a  shar  > 
slap.  Fanchette,  who  was  present  at  this  seem , 
presented  her  horns  in  a  threatening  attitude  t ) 
the  woman,  and  gently  stroked  the  shoulders  o  f 
her  little  friend  with  her  foot.  At  the  sight  t  f 
the  dumb  animal's  eloquent  appeal,  the  woma  i 
began  to  relent,  and  calling  the  child  to  hei, 
examined  more  carefully  the  state  of  thing! , 
when  she.  found,  to  her  horror,  one  of  thos  i 
large  and  poisonous  caterpillars  called  in  Frenc  i 
" procg-ssiontiaires,"  which  had  painfully  irr - 
tated  the  delicate  skin  of  the  child. 

It  was  about  tliis  time  that  MacHenry,  coi  - 
tinning  his  artistic  labors  in  spite  of  all  the  dift  - 
culties  of  the  situation,  resolved  on  taking  fo  ■ 
the  subject  of  a  new  picture  his  goat  Fanchett  ? 
nursing  the  little  Marie-  Faiichette  lent  herse  f 
-with  her  usual  Intelligence  and  docility  to  hi  3 
wishes ;  anil  Marie  was  represented  lyin  t 
among  grass  and  flowers  w^th  her  four-fo'ote  1 
friend  bending  over  her,  "This  picture,  whic  i 
was  afterward  regarded  as  one  of  MacHenry  i 
best  works,  obtained  the  mos^.  signal  success  1 1 
the  Paris  Exhibition  of  Modem  Art — the  trutl  - 
fulness  of  the  design,  the  freshness  of  the  co  - 
oring,  and  the  grace  of  the  Jcomposition  bein  ; 
equally  striking. 

But  these  bright  Autumn  days  soon  pa-sse  1 
away,  and  many  mav  recollect  the  bitter  cold  c  f 
the  sad  Christmas  of  that  dismal  Winter.  Po(  r 
little  Marie  suffered  so  severely  from  it,  that  a  '- 
ter  a  vain  attempt  to  recall'  some  warmth  b  r 
lighting  a  flre  of  brushwood,  'the  only  fuel  thi  t 
could  be  procured,  her  mother,  as  a  last  n  - 
source,  put  her  into  her  little  bed,  in  the  hot  e 
that  by  heaping  upon  her  nil  the  clothing  si  o 
could  procure,  the  child  might  regain  a Vitt  o 
heat ;  but  it  was  in  vain :  no  Iheat  came,  and  tl  a 
blood  had  almost  ceased  to  circulate  in  her  froze  i 
limbs.  At  this  moment  Fanchette  arrived,  an  1 
without'  waiting  for  an  invitation,  sprang  upo  i 
the  bed.  It  was  in  vain  they  tried  t<}  drive  "h*  r 
away  ;  she  only  clung  the  closer  to  her  nurslinj :, 
and  covering  the  cliild  with  her  body,  soon  r  ^- 
stored  her  to  warmth  and  animation. 

There  was  one  among  the  temporary  inha  >- 
itants  of  Boulainvilliers  for  whom  Fanehet  e 
entertained  an  unmitigated  aversion  ;  this  w)  -s 
a  knife-grinder  of  thf  name  of  Massicault-  II  s 
appearance  was  certainly  not  calculated  to  pr  ►- 
duce  a  favorable  impression,  for  his  featur<  s 
were  repulsive  and  his  e-Tprewion  disagrceabl  ■. 
A  low  forehead.a  scowling  eye, and  a  short,  thie  :- 
set  figure  were  the  principal  piiysieal  traits  <  f 
tills  personage ;  nor  were  they  redeemed  by  tho:  e 
of  his  moral  character.  He  had  for  his  constai  t 
companion  a  large,  ill-favored  bull-dog  with  a 
spiked  collar,  who  seemed  to  share  all  the  ev  il 
instincts  of  his  master.  Every  one  wondert  il 
how  the  knife-grinder  niauagt>d  to  feed  th  s 
animal  at  a  time  when  it  wan  so  hni  4 
to  find  the  merest  nece-ssarios  of  life  f  r 
human  beings^and  that,  t-oo^ -without  ever  seei  i- 
ing  to  do  a  hand's  turn  of  work :  for  all  day  lot  g 
he  was  lounging  about,  and  ;it  was  rare  iudetd 
to  hear  the  noise  of  his  whei-l.  'When  any  oi  o 
— alarmed  at  the  threatening  aspect  of  tl  o 
brute,  who  never  faile<i  to  growl  and  show  h  s 
fangs  when  approached — aske<l  his  master  o 
call  him  off,  Aiasslcault  used  only  to  reply  wi  h 
an  ill-natured  laugh  :  "He  has  not  begun  y  t 
to  eat  such  big  morsels  -as  you  ;  but  there's  i  o 
saying  what  he  may  do  one  pf  the.se  days!" 

MacHenry  -was  sorry  that  jhis  goat  partook  if 
the  general  dislike  to  this  man.  He  would  ha  o 
ruther  wished  that  she  shoulil.  have  tried  by  h  -r 
winning  caresses  to  soften  his  rugged  nature,  ai  d 
bring  him  to  love  the  gentle  creature  that  hi  d 
gained  all  other  hearts;  but,fis  we  shall  see  ihtl  e 
sequel,  things  turned  out  very  differently. 

On  one  of  the  last  fine  days  of  that  sad  yea  :. 
a  crowd  having  gathered  round  her  while  h  t 
mai^ter  was  amusing  himself  by  exhibiting  h  *r 
intelligence  in  the  selection  of  the  fruit  ai  d 
flowers  he  named,  in  which  she  acquitted  hem  If 
-with  her  usual  sagacity.  MacHenry  Ijade  h  ;r 
fetch  an  apple.  "There  were  ffl>me  still  hangii  g 
-  on  a  tree  in  a  neighboring  garden,  but  instead  if 
running  off  as  usual  to  the  well-known  place,  s  le 
went  right  up  to  the  knife-grinder,  and  pushii  g 
aside  with  her  paws  the  skirts  of  his  coat,  d  s- 
played  two  pockets  stuffed  with  somethiu ;. 
which  the  crowd,  amid  shouts  of  laughter,  <:  ;- 
clared  to  be  stolen  apples.  The  artist  tried  m 
call  off  his  goat,  and  the,  man  drove  her  aw  .y 
with  curses,  but  two  vigorous  pea.sants  imme  i- 
ately  laid  hold  of  him  and  insisted  on  seeing  t  le 
contents  of  the  suspicious  pockets,  which  prov  d 
to  be,  as  all  had  supposed,  apples  stolen  frt  m 
the  tree  in  question.  The  discovery  only  i  a- 
ereased  the  rage  of  3Ia.ssicault,  who  swc  re 
with  the  mo.st  fearfid  oaths  that  he  h  id 
never  touched  one  of  them,  and  that  t  le 
apples  found  in  his  possession  had  been  giv  in 
to  him  by  a  friend.  Though  none  believed  hi  n, 
several,  in  order  to  get  rid  of  a  disagreeal  le 
affair,  feigned  to  do  so,  and  he  was  finally  et 
off ;  but  many  thought  they  ha<l  thus  got  a  cl  le 
to  the  authorship  of  several  robberies  receni  ly 
committed  to  the  prejudice  of  differeutmemb*  ra 
of  tho  little  community. 

This  misadventure  excited  in  the  knife-grind  ;r 
a  -violent  hatred  against  I^anchette,  which  w  is 
heartily  shared  by  his  worjthy  companion  t  le 
buU-dog.  The  latter  wa-s  iJn  object  of  spec  al 
terror  to  poor  little  Mariet  Fanchette  seem  !d 
to  understand  the  fears  of  the  child,  and  wh(  n- 
ever  the  dog  approached  her  she  would  low  er 
her  horns,  as  if  to  protect  her  nursling  and  de  fy 
her  enemy.  These  demonstrations  of  valor  we  re 
generally  .successful,  the  dog  slinking  off  wi  th 
glaring  eyes  and  drooping  tail. 

One  day  Fanchette  nestjled  up  close  to  i  er 
master,  putting  her  foot  upon  his  arm,  and  hi  v- 
Ing  succeeded  in  gaining  liis  attention,  ran  ff 
to  a  particular  spot,  where  bhe  stopped  to  sn  ft 
the  grass,  and  then  trotting  back,  she  renew  'd 
several  times  the  same  maiicEuvTe.  MacHeni  y, ' 
persuaded  that  something  [extraordinary  im  st 
be  the  matter,  ro.se  and  followed  her.  Wh  in 
she  reached. the  spot,  putting  aside  like  a  terr  tr 
dog  the  long  herbage  with  her  feet,  she  d  s- 
played  to  view  a  leather  pocket-book,  which  t  lo 
artist  picked  up  and  examined.  An  instant  s  if- 
ficed  to  show  that  it  beIonEe<l  to  the  kni  'e- 
grinder,  and  its  contents  proved  that  this  ra  in 
was  one  of  the  numerous  spies  the  Germans  h  id 
constantly  and  everywhere  in  their  sei^'h  e. 
He  found  besides  in  this  i>ocket-book,  push  ^d 
under  the  covering,  the  piuturo  of  a  child,  o  le 
of  those  common  photographs  which  have  lo 
other  merit  than  a  certain  resemblance. 
4|The  very  day  that  this  pocket-book  was  foui  d 
a  frightful  .scene  took  place.  Little  Marie  w  is 
sitting  on  a  low  stool  eating  .a  morsel  of  brea  il,'. 
which  she  was  sharing  with  Fanchette,  when  t  le 
bull-dog  chanced  to  pass.  The  animal  stopp  id 
for  a  moment  and  looked|  at  her :  then,  as  if 
overcome  by  the  temptation,  he  suddenly  dart  id 
at  her  and  snatched  at  the  bread.  He  was  pt  e- 
.^nted,  however,  by  the  go^t,  and  vrith  a  toss  jf 
^Sr  horns  she  sent  the  ferocious  beast  sprawli  ig 
to^some  distance  ;  but  he  was  only  stunned,  n  >t 
seriously  hurt ;  and,  furiotis  at  his  repulse,  le 
sprang  upon  the  poor  go^t,  seized  her  by  t  le 
throat,  and  shook  her  with  rage.  Marie  utter  sd 
piercing  .shrieks,  and  MacHenry,  ha^-ing  gothc  Id 
of  a  stick,  ran  to  the  rescued  A  .sharp  blow  m 
the  head  caused  the  dog  to  lose  his  grip  of  po  )r 
Fanchette  and  tiuTi  against  his  new  eneni  y, 
seizing  him  by  the  shoulder ;  but  a  peasai  t, 
coming  to  the  assistance  of  the  artist,  fore  id 
the  dog  again  to  let  go ;  aiJd,  limping  off  '&  id 
growling,  he  at  last  took  refuge  beside  his  m  s- 
ter,  who  all  the  while  hadi  been  an  tmmov  ;d 
spectator  of  the  scene. 

Great  was  the  general  grief  at  .the  sight  of 
poor  Fanchette  mottoidess  on  the  gra.ss,  bleedi  ig 
profusely  from  the  wound  in  her  throat ;  a  id 
strong  the  indignation  excited  by  the  feroc  ty 
of  the  dog  and  the  oonduet  of  its  bmtal  mast  ir. 
Many  were  the  threats  muttered  against  hot  i ; 
and  there  is  little  donbt  tha^t  the  dog  at  le  st 
would  soon  have  paid  the  penalty  he  deserv  ed 
had  Fanchette's  weund  been  mortal ;  but  on 
examination  it  was  found  to  be  less  seriotis  th  in 
it  appeared,  and  her  master's  care  of  her  so  sn 
effected  a  complete  cure.  The  inhabitants  of 
the  hamlet,  howeTer,  resolved  not  to  let  slip  i  he 
opportunity  for  getting  rid  of  the  obnoxit  us 
knife-grtaider.  This  ifl-fsvored  individual  ?  as 
received- Whenever  he  showed  himself  with  ci  ies 
of  "Be off,  and  quickly,  too,  and  be  thankful  wo 
do  not  throttle  your  -wretch  of  a  dog  first,"

hafdly  re&iehed  ttie  entrance  of  the  villaar© 
when  they  \|ere  met  by  a  party  bringing  along 
with  theta  !an  o:"{)han  boy  of  about  B  or  7 
years  of  ag^,  whf  se  parents  had  been  found 
Jriurdered  some  d  lys  previously  In  one  of  the 
detached  cottages  of  tne  neighborhood,  wMoh 
some  still  Ttentursd  to  inhabit.  The  child,  at 
the  sight  of  Che  kiife-grinder  and  his  dog,  ut- 
tered a  loud  cry  and  covered  his  eyes  wl&  hia 
hands. 

"  What  IB  the  matter,  my  poor  little  fellow  t" 
asked  one  of  the  by-standers.  At  length  he  was 
able  with  dfiicullyto  reply,  his  word.s  inter- 
rupted with  deep  i  lobs :  "  That  man  I  tJiat  dog ! 
It  was  they  that  k  lied  my  mother !  I  saw  It  all 
from  bfehindj  the  c  irtain  in  which  I  was  hid." 

Every  one  looke  i  in  astonishment  at  his  neigh- 
bor, not  knojwing  ;yhether  to  believe  the  strange 
assertion  of  the  child,  when  MacHenry  pro- 
duced the  pocket-book  and  informed  'those 
around  himj  of  il  s  contents.  The  child  imme- 
diately cried  out  ^hatitwas  his  mother's^  and 
had  any  doubt  rer  lained  it  would  have  been  dis- 
pelled by  looking  at  the  portrait  that  was  con- 
tained in  it,  for  its  resemblance  to  the  poor  lit- 
tle boy  was  striking. 

In  presence  of  such  proof,  there  could  be  no 
hesitatiou,  and  twb  men  immediately  set  off  in 
pursuit  of  the  fugitive  ;  but  he  had  already  got 
a  considerable  a<lvance,  and  fear  lent  him, 
brings,  so  that  bel  ore  they  could  reach  him  he 
had  gained  the  protection  of  the  German  out- 
y.  succeed,  however,  in  evading 


posts.     He  did  no 

the  fate  he  inerite  1,   for  shortly  after  the  news 

arrived  that  the  -     -  

the  hands  of 


KTetched  man  had  fallen  into 
tjetachment  of  French  fratics- 
tireurs,  and  having  been  convicted  of  being  con- 
cerned in  the  burning  of  a  farm,  was  immedi- 
ately condemned  imd  shot. 

MacHenr^i  adop  *d  the  orphan  boy,  and  never 
had  cause  tO]  repetit  of  his  generous  action.  "  I 
have  now  t\y^o  chi  dren,''  he  used  gayly  to  say  ; 
'*for  my  gentle  iitelligent  Fanchette  is  almost 


as  dear  to  nirr^s  if 


she  were  a  human  creature." 


— Chambers's  Jotirinal 

The  TetjtontIc  Womak  op  Old. — The 
Teuton  of  old  led  a  life  of  hardship.  His  was 
a  simple  mode  of  living.  He  knew  few  of  the 
luxuries  of  an  Orinntal  or  a  Roman  civilization. 
His  sluggishlnatuie  retained  all  its  Innate  vigor. 
There  was  in  his  daily  life  nothius  to  enervate 
it  and  render  him  effeminate.  But  he  enter- 
tained for  womau  qo  chivalric  sense  of  delicacy. 
A  creature  of  impulses,  he  was  incapable  of 
restraint.  He  guar  ied  her  virtue  simply  through^, 
the  motive  of  ri(;ht  and  property  which  was 
vested  in  her.  His  sense  of  independence  could 
notbrookeucroaciiments  upon  his  possessions,, 
whether  of  person  or  property.  Hence  he  hedged 
womau  iu  with  la  iivs  that  were  as  wounding  to 
her  modesty  .as  they  were  derogatory  to  her 
honor.  They  ignored  her  personality.  They- 
guarded  her  as  they  would  have  guarded  a  pet 
animal  or  a  fruit-l  earing  tree.  Thus  was  it  en- 
acted tliat  the  freeman  who  presses  the  finger 
of  a  freewoman  is  liable  to  a  flno  of  000 
pence;  of  l.liOli  if  he  touches  the  arm; 
of  1,400  if  ho  pU  ces  his  hand  above  the  elbow, 
and  so  on  through  a  ^rade  of  fines,  entering 
into  details  as  disgusting  as  they  must  have 
biMJU  futile.  Nor  were  these  laws  confined  to 
the  olil  English  and  their  neighbors.  They 
were  generallv  ii^d  throughout,  the  Teutonic 
races.  In  tliebaMirlan  laws  htrjchodisarranees 
a  woman's  hair  oi*  detaches  her  comb  is  fined  a 
certain  amount.  Legislation  on  such  a  subject, 
entering  into  suctli  minute  details,  taking  such 
stringent  moasui[es,  implies  g:reat  abuse,  and 
proves  conclusively  that  woman  was  not  tho  ob- 
ject of  respect  to' the  ancient  Teuton  which 
some  would  make  her,  and  that  she  was 
simply  cared  for  because  she  was  to  be 
tho  mother  oij  the  young  heroes  and 
^-ikings  who  were  to  perpetuate  the  name 
and  tho  prowess  of  their  furthers.  Com- 
menting on  Jhe  punishment  inflicted 
on  the  woman  nnjfaithfiu  to  her  husband,  as  re- 
lated by  Tacitus,  paniely,  that  her  hair  was  cut, 
and  she  was  whipped  ignominiously  through 
the  village,  BalmM  remarks:  ''T-ertainly,  tiiis 
punishment  giveskis  anldeaof  the  infamy  which 
was  attached  to  arlultery  among  the  Gemiauf, 
but  it  was  little  (ralculated  to  increase  the  re- 
spect entertained  for  women  publicly.  This 
would  have  been  greater  had  they  been  stoned 
to  death."  Be  this  as  it  may,  tho  more  we  study 
t  he  condition  of  women  in  those  early  days,  the 
loss  pleasing  a  picture  does  it  represent.  She 
was  the  companion  of  man  in  peace  and  'war; 
she  attended  to  all  tho  indoor  and  outdoor  work; 
while  he  sat  dnziclg  in  half  stupor  by  the  fire  she 
was  up  and  doingj;  she  accompanied  hinl  to  the 
battlefield :  she  stooil  by  hia  side  and  encour- 
aijed  him  in  moments  of  greatest  danger. 
Women  were  known  to  fight  after  their  hu.v 
bands  and  sons  had  been  defeated.  Thus  Flavus 
tell.-*  us  that,  in  a  battle  betweeu  INlarius  and  the 
(.'imbri.  the  struggle  with  the  enemy's  wives 
WAS  not  less  severe  than  with  the  enemy  him- 
self. "  for  the  v^omeu  being  mounted  on  the 
wogon.s  ami  other  carriages  which  had  been 
run:;ed  around  as  n  defeu-se.  fouifht  from  theiu 
ns  from  towers,  with  spears  and  pikes."  And  ho 
a<)ds  that,  when  they  were  refusetl  tho  privi- 
lege of  being  committed  to  the  custody  of  the 
vestal  \irgins.  '*  they  either  fell,  after  stran-

by  mutual  wounds,  or  hanged  tbemselvey  with 
ropes  made  ut  their  own  hair,  upon  the  trees 
and  the  yokes  uf  iheir  wagons.''  The  reading  of 
such  a  page  freezijs  the  blood  in  one's  veins,  and 
he  asks :  Could  this  he  told  of  mothers?  The 
historj'  and  literature  of  all  the  Teut6nic  races 
answer  in  the  afiipuativo.  So  do  the  Sagas  of  th© 
North-  Their  ideal  woman  is  one  bloodthirsty, 
cruel,  cold,  heart  ess,  and  fatally  beautiful.  In 
the  Viilsung  Sagi.  Signi  counsels  Sigmund  to 
destroy  her  own  children  because  he  does  not 
consider  them  va  lant  enough.  **  The  daughter 
of  the  Danisli  jalrl,  seeing  Egil  taking  his  seat 
near  her,  repels  him  with  scorn,  reproaching 
hini  with  aeldonj  having  provided  the  wolves 
with  hot  meat,  v  ith  naver  having  seen  for  a 
whole  Autumn  a  raveB  croaking  over  the  car- 
nage. But  Egil  seized  her  and  pacified  her  by 
singing:  *  I  nave  marched  with  my  bloody 
sword,  an<i  the  rt  ven  has  followed  me.  Furious- 
ly we  fought:  the  fire  passed  over  the  dwellings 
of  men;  we  slept  In  the  blood  of  those  who 
kept  the  gates.'"  Such  is  this  maideu's  ideal 
of  a  hero  and  of  life.  A  fancy  so 
steeped  in  carnage  and  crime  could  be 
possessed  of  a  sOiall  share  of  tenderness  and 
humanity.  N*or|  is  the  ideal  of  woman  of 
the  Nil>eiungen-lied  less  fierce.  Brunhild  forces 
her  suitors  to  contend  with  her  in  the  games  of 
thro%ving  the  spear,  leaping,  and  hurling  the 
stone,  under  the  barbarous  penalty  of  losing 
their  heads  in  case  of  defeat.  She  afterward 
has  Siegfried  slain ;  in  return,  his  wife,  Crim-. 
hild,  after  brooding  over  her  wrongs  for  years, 
revenges  herself  by  slaying  his  murderer.  She 
is  possessed  of  as  little  humanity  as  her  rival. 
She  asks  Hageu  where  the  fatal  Hoard  is ;  Hagen 
replies  that:  he  n  sver  will  disclose  it  while  any 
of  her  brothers  iircs,  whereupon  she  orders  her 
brothers  head  to  he  cut  off,  and,  holding  it  up, 
exclaims :     *'  I  bring  it  to  an  end." 

"  Ich  bringo  es  lu  ende. "  sprach  das  edle  Weib. 
"  Thou  hast  it  now  according  to  thy  will,"  said 
Hagen;  *'of  the  Hoard  knoweth  none  but  God 
anal;  from  thee,  8he-<levil — Valendinne — shall 
it  forever  bje  hid-fj  In  her  rage  she  kills  him  with 
her  own  hand.  N^ot  in  representations  like  these 
are  we  to  ifind  the  ideal  of  true  womanhood. 
Such  characters  bear  no  other  traces  of  their 
sex  than  the  name,  and  woman  imse.xed  is  a 
monster.  No  sui^prise  is  it.  theu,  to  read  of  the 
English  ladv  of  |  primitive  times  cruel  to  her 
servants  and  slave.'t.  The  types  set  up  for  her 
admiration  were  such  as  battled  the  tenderness 
and  delicacy  of  feeling  and  thought  that  belong 
to  true  wifely,  motherly,  and  sisterly  qualities. 
The  Edda  has  summed  up  the  Teutonic  estilnate 
of  woman  ih  these  words  :  **  Praise  a  woman 
when  she  is  buried  ;  •  •  *  praise  a  maiden 
after  she  is  manied." — The  American  Catholic

proof  of  the  power  of  Maflfei's  mind  that,  .with- 
out such  at  epiacde,  he  should  have  succeeded 
in  winning  the  public  favor  at  a  period  when  a 
romance  of  some  kind  was  considered  indispen- 
sable to  anj  drama.  Maffei  wrote  his  *'  Merope  "

the  supposed  murderer  proves  to  be  her  son  him- 
self, whoiii  she  is  about  to  destroy.  Voltaire 
contrives  to  soften  the  impression  conveyed  by

Dresden  CrtiNA.— The  clay  from  which 

Dresden  china  derives  its  fineness  and  delicacy 
Is  found  about  3n  hour's  journey  from  Meissen. 
When  it  arrives  it  is  sifted  and  pulverized  sev- 
eral times,  till  nothing  but  the  finest  and  purest 
part  remains  ;  in  this  state  it  looks  like  very  fine 
flour  with  a  slightly  yellow  tinge.  It  is  then 
mixed  with  feldkpaU,  (a  kind  of  flint)— which  is 
ground  to  powder — gypsum,   and  water,  made 


into  huge  balls, 
to  be  served  out 


and  kept  in  zinc-lined  boxes, 
as  occasion  requires.  There 
was  nothing  in  the  molding  of  the  commoner 
forms,  or  in  the  whirling  of  plates  and 
bowls,  &c,,  in  any  way  differing  from  the 
ordinary  niethod  pursued  in  every  china  manu- 
factory in  this  cotintry.  and  this  is  therefore, 
not  worth  describing.  In  a  very  long  gallery — 
round  two  sides  of  a  square,  and  into  which 
opened  the  various  work-rooms — we  saw  the 
most  extraordinary  collection  of  molds ;  boclies 
guiltless  of  heads,  legs,  or  arms;  right  legs, 
left  legs,  with  i^nd    without    shoes;  birds,  ani- 


mals, and  fishes, 


ready  to  be  filled  at  will.    In  a 


large  and  wetl-lighted  room  sat  a  perfect  army 
of  workmen,  to  whom  the  contents  of  these 
molds  were  given,  after  one  baking,  and  while 
the  clay  is  still  plastic.  Taking  a  body,  they 
joined  arms  and  le^  aud  head  with  inconceiv- 
able rapidity,  bassmg  a  camel's-hair  brush 
dipped  in  waterf  to  make  the  members  stick 
on.  With  Bmall  agate  tools  each  be- 
gan to  bring  these  molded  figures  to  per- 
fection. The  WjOrkraan  gave  the  eyes  expres- 
sion ;  he  deepened  an  eyelid,  softened  the  cheek, 
rounded  an  arm,  marked  the  finger-naiils,  patted 
it  on  one  side.  tJieu  on  thu  other,  till  it  stood 
before  us  a  shepherdess  complete.  Nothing 
was  more  marvelous  than  the  gentleness  and 
dexterity  with  wluch  the  fragile  thing  was 
handled,  and  the  wonderful  quickness  with 
which  he  manipulated  each  smallest  detail. 
Next  to  this  room  in  point  of  interest  was  the 
one  where  the  raised  fruits  and  flowers  are 
made  and  arranged  on  each  vase  or  jug  or 
basket.  There  s  no  molding  here.  The  most 
delicate  leaves  are  rolled  at  the  point  of  the  ac- 
complished fingiirs  ;  leaf  is  added  to  leaf,  every 
bit  of  the  snialltst  rose  is  curled,  patted  into 
shape,  and  stuc)^;  into  its  place,  till  it  grows  be- 
fore you  intb  a  perfect  n'ise.  The  tini- 
est petal  of  each  diminutive  forget-me- 
not  is  made  by  itself,  and  put  in  Its 
place  by  the  aid  of  daintily-held  pincers,  tliat 
might  belong  lo  fairyland.  The  miniature  flow- 
ers on  the  lap  of  a  dancing  girl  are  all  made  in 
the  same  way  ;  ind  seeing  the  time  taken,  and 
the  care  required,  it  made  one  understand  why 
•*  raised  china  "  cost  so  much.  The  perforated 
edges  of  plates  snd  baskets  are  marked  in  the 
molds,  and  cui;  out  v.'it'h  a  penknife  after- 
ward, then  carefully  rounded  and  smoothed  by 
the  inevitable  agate  tools.  Indeed,  in  all  cases 
the  mold  iglves  tho  forms  very  roughly,  and 
much  more  skilled  labor  is  required  than  we  had 
imagined — SSO  people  being  the  regular  staff, 
which  does  not  include  artists,  sometimes  spe- 
cially engaged  tJ  undertake  the  painting  of  par- 
ticular ordem.  When  the  china  Is  reatdy  it  is 
taken  to  be  baked  again,  then  glazed,  then 
painted,  then  bnked  again,  in  some  cases  being 
baked  no;  less  than  six  times,  and  break- 
ing to  pieces  in  the  sixth  baking.  These  acci- 
dents, noweyer,  are  much  less  frequent  than 
formerly,  as  the  degree  and  distribution  of  he^t 
are  all  much  letter  understood  now.  The  ovens 
are  built  in  circplar  charal>ers,  and  we  Rtoo<i  in 
the  centre  of  one,  finding  the  heat  less  than  we 
liad  expected.  j'All  round  wen?  recesses,  in 
which  trays  of  lovely  china  wen\  placed  ;  and 
in  the  lower,  and,  as  we  supposed,  the  hottest 
ovens,  molds,  (looking  in  their  closed  form  ex- 
actly like  90  many  Stilton  chctyies  of  all  sizes) 
were  depcisitedJ  The  apparently  careless  way 
in  which  the  workmen  moved  about  with  trav- 
loads  of  exquisite  china  niailc  one  a  little 
breathless-l— no  baker's  boy,  with  a  batch  -of 
rolls,  could  have  looked  less  anxious  than  they 
did ;  but  |we  were  assure<l  that  an  accident 
hardly  ever  occurs ;  and  the  china  after 
one  baking  is  so  brittle,  that  on  my  a<l mir- 
ing a  basket,  aiyl  wishing  iu  my  ignorance 
to  buy  one,  tho  Stfperintendent,  with  a  smile  of 
superiority,  put  it  into  my  hands,  where  it 
crumbled  to  bits  immediately.  The  onl}-  part 
of  the  manufacture  they  would  not  explain  thor- 
oughly was  the  glazing  tub,  into  which  ever^*- 
thing  is  ^^ppod ;  and  our  German  friend  said 
that  some  [impn  ivement  iu  this  glaze  or  enamel 
is  thought'  to  l>e  a  Re.crot. 

When  the  glaze  is  hard,  the  china  is  taken  to 
the  variouj*  paiiitine-rooms  ;  and,  as  most  people 
in  these  djays  know,  the  colors  then  are  but 
dingy  and  often  false,  to  their  after-appearance.

devoted  to  the  finest  painting,  we  were  intro- 
ducefltoan  oldi^renchnian  \rlth  two  pairsof  .spec- 
tacles on.  He  was  celebratedfor  his  child  figures, 
and  was  painting  groups  in  the  centres  of  a  set  of 
of  dessertjplates,  ordered  by  one  of  the  imperial 
family  of  Prussia.  Children  guiltless  of  clothes 
were  swimkningj  bathing,  making  flower  wreaths, 
riding  goits.  cjatching  butterflies.  &c.  Each 
group  was  different,  and  T'n' grace  aud  beauty 
of  the  figures  Jwere  perfL-._tly  wonderful.  He 
had  palnleil  tnere  for  years,  but  had  never 
learned  Germaii ;  he  had  never  tried,  he  saitl, 
with  a  little  shrug.  He  also  lx)ld  us  he  seldom 
painted  fit^wers.  "  Any  one  cau  do  that,"  he 
said,  with  a  fine  sense  of  his  own  unrivaled 
talent  ;  but,  looking  at  the  flowers,  we  could  not 
agree  with  him.  It  is  not  given  to  "  any  one  " 
to  paint  such  flowers.  The  blue  and  white  china, 
called,  paf*  e-xchUiwe,  *'  Meissen  china,"  is  of 
course  also  ma<ie  here.  The  difference  between 
it  and  Djresden  china  consist.>i  in  its  being 
painted  in  cobalt  before  it  is  glazed,  aud  it  is 
not  baked  |so  often.  Besides  tlie  reproduction 
of  beautif^  old  j  shapes  iu  the  finest  clay,  this 
Meissen  china  is  made  more  coarsely  and 
strongly  in  comimoner  shapes,  when  it  is  much 
cheaper  and  verj-  strong.  it  is  also  hand- 
painted,  but  is  very  quickly  done  by  means  of 
a  perforated  paper  laid  over  plate  or  cup,  when 
powdered  cobalt  is  shaken  over  it  out  of  a  thing 
exactly  like  a  small  pepper-box.  This  leaves 
the  pattern  marked,  and  lads,  with  a  fine  brush 
and  a  little  water,  stipple  in  the  color.  It  is 
then  baked  andl  glazed.  Some  of  the  old  shapes 
with  perforated  edges  were  very  beautiful. 
When  the  china  is  examined  by  the  Superin- 
tendent and  he  considers  it  perfect,  he  affixes 
on  every  piece  the  well-known  cross-swords  be- 
fore the  last  baking.  Every  bit  with  the  slight- 
est imperfection  in  pattern,  shape,  or  tran:^ 
parency,  is  marked  imperfect  and  sold  for  less 
than  half-price,  either  at  the  manufactory,  or, 
more  frequently,  at  a  small  shop  iu  Dresden, 
near  the  Frauen  Kirche,  which  goes  bythe  name 
of  "the  rejected  shop."  This  mark  of  imper- 
fection ia  simply  a  small  white  line  drawn 
through  the  crossed  swords. — Blackicood's  Mag- 


Old  Ehqlish  Opticials. — The  High  Jus- 
ticiarship  ,was  a  temporary  oflQ.ce,  a  sort  of  vice- 
royalty,  necessiry  during  the  King's  frequent 
absences  on  the  Continent,  which  passed  away 
when  Normandy  was  happily  lost  to  England. 
The  Juatlciat  was  usually  a  clever  ecclesiastic, 
sometimes  a  tyrant  like  Ranulf  Flambard,  some- 
times a  wise  administrator  like  Roger,  Bishop 
of  Salisbury,  under  Henry  I.  Flanlbard  is 
called  by  one  writer  '*  tiegotiorum  totiu^  regni 
exactor j"  where  exactor  has  its  primitive  mean- 
ing,  as  in  Isaiah  Ix.,  17,  "  I  will  also  make  thine 
ofiicerspeac^  and  thine  exactors  righteousness," 
an  expressive  phrase  in  Flambard's  days.  The 
Justiciarship.was  merged  in  tho  older  office  of 
Chancellor,  '*  the  name  being  probably  derived 
from  the  cdncellij  or  screen,  behind  which  the 
secretarial  work  of  the  royal  household  was  car- 
ried on."  The  Chancellor  was  generally 
an  ecclesiastic.  *'  The  whole  of  the 
secretarial  work  of  the  household  and 
ooiut  fell  on  him  and  the  chaplains;  the  keep- 
ing of  the  royal  accounts  under  the  T  reasurer 
and  Justiciar,  the  drawing  up  and  sealing  of  the 
royal  writs,  and  the  conducting  of  the  King's 
correspondence.  The  Chancellor  was  in  a  man- 
ner the  Secretatry  of  State  for  all  departments." 
It  sounds  stranjge  to  our  ears  to  be  told  that  all 
these  offices  were  salable.%  Tho  Chancellor,  in 
1130,  owes  £3,000  133.  4d.  for  the  great 
seal;  the  office  of  Treasurer  was  bought 
by  Bishop  Nigel  for  his  son  for  £400.  Inferior 
offices  were  assessed  at  a  lower  rate.  Public 
opinion  at  last  jcompelled  the  recognition  of  fit- 
ness instead  off  wealth.  We  have  said  that;  the 
great  household  officers  presided  in  theTiWO 
high  courts  of  the  realm.  At  Judges  in  the  Ex- 
chequer, alongj  with  aach  o^era  as  the  King  is 
nleaMd  to  aaapoiate  witk  tk^n,  th«7  ore  oaUsd 


Barons  of  the  Exchequer.  The  court  is  so  named, 
it  seems,  "from  the  chequered  cloth  which  cov- 
ered the  table  at  which  the  accounts  were  taken, 
and  which  suggested  to  the  spectator  the 
idea  of  a  game  at  chess  between 
the  receiver  and  payer."  The  complete 
organization  of  the  court  is  referred 
to  the  days  of  Henry  I.  Its  meetings  were  at 
Easter  and  Michaelmas  at  Westminster  Palace, 
when  the  whole  finance  of  the  kingdom  passed 
under  review.  In  an  upper  chamber  the  ac- 
counts were  examined  and  settled,  and  in  a  low- 
er one  the  money  was  transferred.  *'  The 
record  of  the  business  was  kept  in  three  great 
rolls,  one  kept  by  the  Treasurer,  another  Xfj  the 
Chancellor,  and  a  third  by  an  officer  nominated 
by  the  King,  who  registered  the  matters  of  legal 
and  special  importance.  The  rolls  of  the  IVeas- 
urer  and  Chancellor  were  duplicates  ;  that  of 
the  former  was  called  from  its  shapB~-the  great 
roll  of  the  Pipe,  and  that  of  the  latter  the  roll 
of  the  Chancery.  These  documents  are  mostly 
in  existence." — The  London  Quarterly  Hevietc. 


Race-horse  Ikfoemation.— Bookmakers 
and  other  betting  men  take  much  pains,  and  in- 
cur a  great  deal  of  expense,  In  order  that  they 
may  be  well  informed  as  to  the  doings  of  the 
various  racing  stables.  Information  flows  to 
them  from  many  sources,  because  they  have  nu- 
merous hangers-on,  whose  duty  it  is  to  keep 
them  posted  up  in  the  facts  and  the  occurrences 
of  the  training  grounds.  At  Newmarket  aud 
elsewhere — ^nearall  training  grounds,  indeed-^ 
there  are  persons  stationed^  employed  either  by 
bookmakers  or  backers;  whose  duty  it  is  to  com- 
municate with  the  utmost  celerity  every  impor- 
tant item  of  intelligence  connected  with 
certain  horses.  Should  these  horses  fail  to  ap- 
pear on  the  exercise  ground  at  the  customary 
time,  should  they  only  walk  instead  of  ^llop,  or 
should  they  pull  up  lame  after  their  canter, 
then  these  totUs — a  ragged  regiment,  it  must  be 
confessed — Ide  at  once  to  the  Post  Office  and 
wire  to  those  who  have  employed  them,  ^he 
intelligence  thus  conveyed  is  promptly  made 
use  of,  and  its  effect,  for  or  against  a  horse, 
speedily  becomes  obvious  by  means  of  th©  price- 
current,  and  when  It  is  seen  that  Asterisk  has 
receded  in  the  betting  list  from  sixteen  to  one 
to  twenty-five  to  one,  it  may  be  concluded  that 
the  horse  only  walked  that  morning,  instead  of 
galloping  as  usual ;  while  if  the  odds  have  re- 
ceded still  further,  then  the  backer  of  the  horse 
may  conclude  that  Asterisk  ha  *  not  been  seen 
at  exercise,  and  that,  in  conseouence,  there  is 
something  radically  wrong  with  the  animal. 
It  is  astonishing  how  soon  the  mis- 
haps which  occur  to  race-horses  are  made  known 
to  those  interested  in  the  betting ;  it  is  frequent- 
ly the  case,  indeed,  that  a  man  who  has  backed 
a  horse  will  know  of  its  having  broken  down 
on  the  training  ground  long  before  the  man  who 
is  its  proprietor.  Instant  u-se  is,  of  course, 
made  of  such  information  in  the  turf  market. 
If  a  horse  quoted  at  short  odds  temporarily 
breaks  down,  it  is  held  to  be  good  business  to 
lay  against  it  at  once,  because,  when  the  mis- 
fortune becomes  known,  it  will  speedily  recede 
in  tlie  betting,  and  if  a  man  'cau  lay  one 
hundred  to  twenty  against  it,  the  chances 
are  that  he  will  in  a  day  or  two  be 
able  to  recover  his  bet  at  one  hundred  to 
three;  and  thus,  in  the  event  of  the  horse  not 
recovering  its  position,  he  will  have  the  differ- 
ence as  profit ;  or  if  the  animal  does  recover, 
but  fails  to  win  the  race,  he  will  bag  17  pounds. 
But  such  operations  are  difficult  to  conduct,  as

GOXDITIOX  OF  TRE  ENGLISH  COUNTRY 
Gentry  Ch-vkoixo.— How  ra^tny  country  fami- 
lies are  there  at  the  present  day  who  rely  for 
their  income  upon  the  rentals  of  their  agricul- 
tural lands  alone  i  If  they  did,  they  could  not 
make  the  annual  visit  in  the  height  of  the 
seo-son  to  town.  Tho  ponderous  wealth  of  the 
manufacturer  would  put  them  utterly  in  the 
slia<.le.  Brief  analysis  will  demonstrate  this. 
An  average  area  of  3,500  acres  may  be  taken 
as  the  estate  of  the  ordinary  country  gentleman. 
Small  portion-s  may  let  at  high  rates ;  the 
average  rental  would  "not  exceed  30  shillings 
per  acre,  if  a.s  much.  Tliis  gives  £5,250  per 
annum ;  which,  however,  taking  a  term  of 
years,  mu>»t  be  reduced  by  nearly  a  thousand  to 
account  for  repairs,  salaries,  and  losses  from 
farms  out  of  occupation.  Pour  thousand 
a  year  is  a  small  income  for  a  man 
with,  say,  two  sons  and  two  daugb  - 
tors,  claiming,  and  justly,  social  rank.  There 
may  be  also  incumbrances  left  from  former 
holders ;  debts  of  predecessors,  or  incurred  in 
improvemtuts  not  yet  giving  much  return. 
HundredtiE  of  city  men  who  go  to  their  offices  at 
IMn  tlie  morning  and  return  to  their  suburban 
villas  at  .'>  in  the  afternoon,  boasting  no  descent, 
could  show  an  income  double  this.  And  they 
have  no  hereditary  po.sition  to  maintain,  they 
get  more  out  of  their  money.  Country  houses 
nave,  therefore,  no  other  resource  left  if  they 
would  keep  up  the  traditions  of  the  family. 
They  must  trade,  or  bank,  or  speculate ;  and 
they  do  it  to  an  unsuspected  extent.  The  heu"l 
of  the  hou.se  may  conceal  his  connection  lAith 
the  coal-mine,  the  railway,  tlie  share-market, 
the  bank,  or  the  counting-house ;  bui;,  depend 
upon  it,  his  money  is  there.  Note  also  the 
marked  anxiety  of  the  country  gentry  to  get  the 
railway  system  extended  to  t^eir  estates.  ^NTiat 
a  number  of -short  links  have  been  constructed 
lately  for  the  convenience  of  little  outlying  vil- 
lages—they can  hardly  be  called  towns.  The 
money  for  tliese  lines  has  been  chiefly  found  by 
the  landed  proprietors.  Not  to  import  navvies 
to  steal  the  game,  not  for  personal  convenience, 
not  to  bring  tradesmen  down  to  join  the  hunt, 
not  from  a  disinterested  desire  to  further  the 
advancement  of  the  sparse  population,  but  from 
an  honest  aud  declared  desire  to  raise  the  value 
of  their  estates.  If  the  head  of  the  house  con- 
ceals his  connection  ■with  trade  out  of  deference 
U»  certain  traditions,  which  had  a  social  force  in 
his  early  days  but  are  now  extinct,  the  sons, 
who  have  no'  such  scruples,  enter  openly  into 
busiue-ss.  Thev  can  find  illustrious  examples 
enough  set  before  them. — The  Sexc  Quarterly

The  Coach. — The  closed  four-wheeler, 
whether  drawn  by  one  horse  or  by  more,  is  a 
type  of  a  very  numerous  family,  the  origin  of 
which  is  left  in  some  obscurity,  notwithstand- 
ing the  labors  of  Beckman  and  other  investi- 
gators to  throw  light  upon  it.  Supposing  coach 
to  be  the  father  of  the  family,  it  is  nevertheless 
uncertain  what  form  the  name  originally  as- 
sumed, and  in  what  country  it  originated.  Eng- 
land puts  in  a  claim ;  so  does  France  ;  Italy  and 
Spain  oppose  l>oth  of  them,  and  also  oppose 
each  other;  while  Hungary  is  considered  to  have 
very  fair  evidence  iu  support  of  her  rival  pre- 
tensions. There  is  a  village  called  Kotsee  or 
Kotzsce,  in  Hungary,  supposed  to  be  connected 
with  the  origin  of  the  word  "coach."  If  car 
be  the  significant  syllable  in  a  multitude  of 
names  for  open  vehicles,  and  kotsee  one  of  the 
earliest  names  for  a  closed  vehicle,  we  caxu 
imagine  an  amalgation  of  the  two 
in  such  names  as  cjiroche,  caroce,  until  we  come 
to  the  English  coach,  the  German  kutsche  the 
Dutch  koets,  the  Danish  kudsk.  and  so  forth. 
At  any  rate  there  is  a  pleasant  bit  here  for  th^ 
etvmologista ;  some  of  whom  also  speculate 
whether  coach  may  not  have  come  from  kuttess, 
to  cover  ;  or  from  koetaas,  to  lie  along  ;  or  from 
couch,  seeing  that  many  of  the  earlier  coaches 
were  for  reclining  rather  than  sitting,  and 
might  therefore  be  regarded  as  wheeled  litters 
or  wheeled  coaches.  A  very  good  combination 
of  names  is  met  with  in  the  cari-coche  or  cart- 
coach  of  Buenos  Ayres.  Thislsan  inclosed  two- 
wheel  vehicle,  that  may  be  drawn  by  any  num- 
ber of  horses,  attached  to  it  by  straps  or  thongs 
of  raw  hide.  The  vehicle  has  a  door  behind, 
not  at  the  sides ;  the  body  is  singularly  placed 
over  and  between  the  wheels,  ^ot  resting  on 
their  axle,  but  on  swinging  thongs  of  i-aw  hide.

PoRSOV's  Wit. — ^Person  would  drink 
anything  provided  it  was  liquid  ;  and  we  have 
been  told  that  he  once  sat  at  a  supper  party 
until  the  bottles  were  drained  and  the  lights 
went  out,  when  he  rose  and  muttered,  ^^  Ottde 
tode  oude  taUo" — the  wit  of  which  can  only  be 
appreciated  by  those  who  understand  Greek.  In 
proof  of  his  extraordinary  memory,  Lord  Abin- 
ger  says  that  he  has  known  him  repeat  the 
whole  poem  of  "The  Rape  of  the  Lock,"  re- 
ferring, as  he  went  on,  to  similar  passages  in 
classical  writers  which  he  supposed  Pope  to 
have  imitated.  Upon  one  occasion  he  resolved 
to  say  nothing  for  a  week  which  was  not  to  be 
found  in  Shakespeare,  and  he  astonished  those 
with  whom  he  lived  by  his  readiness  in  answer- 
ing in  the  very  words  of  the  poet,  the  most 
trivial  as  well  as  the  most  grave  questions 
that  were  put  to  him.  The  following  speci- 
men of  his  ready  wit  we  have  never  aeeta 
in  print.  It  was  in  former  times  the  cus- 
tom at  Trinity  for  the  scholars  of  the  college  to 
write  Latin  *  themes  In  hall  on  a  given 
subject,  which  were  to  be  ready  before  dinner.

The  Ajrt  or  Readisg.^M.  Itogonr&s 
work  treats  of  the  mechanical  requirements  of 
reading,  in  chapters  on  the  voice,  the  art  of 
breathing,  the  pronunciation,  the  curing  of 
certain  defects,  and  ttie  observance  of  punctu- 
ation. As  to  the  voice,  the  middle  register  is 
what  should  be  most  relied  on  ;  but  both  this 
and  the  higher  and  lower  registers  can  be  im- 
mensely impro\'ed  by  cultivation  and  exercise. 
It  has  been  said  of  various  celebrated 
singei^,  Duprez  among  them,  thtft  they 
had  "a  made  voice."  The  expreMion,  aa 
M.  Legouv^  points  out,  is  incorrect ;  but  it  con- 
veys the  suggestion  of  how  much  can  be  done 
by  discipline  and  practice  to  develop  note* 
which  without  it  would  never  be  revealed.  BL 
Legouv^  quotes  the  instance  of  SIme.  Mall- 
bran,  who,  to  the  congratulations  of  her  friends 
when  they  had  heard  her  deliver  an  exceptionally 
high  note  in  the  "  Sonnambula,"  replied,  "  Oh  ! 
Je  Vai  assez  cliercM !  Voild  un  tnois  que  court 
apr^s  lui !  Je  lef>our8Uivai8  f>arioiU  f  En  nve  coif- 
fant!  En  nChahiUant !  ,  et  je  Vai  trouvS  matin  au 
fond  de  mes  aouliers  en  me  chauesant  / "  In 
another  nart  of  his  work  M.  Legouv6  describes 
how  M.  Delaunay,  by  his  beautiful  reciting  of  a 
poem  by  Musset.  managed  to  conceal  the  faults 
in  its  construction  which  M.  Legouv^  afterward 
discovered ;  and  M.  Delaunay's  mastery  of  every 
art  of  intonation  might  have  been  brought  for- 
ward to  illustrate  strongly  the  truth  of  M.  Le- 
gouv6's  theory.  This  actor  is  famed  for  the 
beauty  and  variety  of  his  voice  ;  yet,  when 
he  first  appeared  on  the  stage,  it  was  thought 
by  theatrical  critics  that  the  defects  of 
his  voice  would  surelv  prevent  his  ever  ^oing 
justice  to  his  talent.  6y  dint  of  constant  study, 
by  seeking  out  every  morning  lonely  places  in 
the  Bois  de  Boulogne  where  he  could  devote  an 
hour  to  the  constant  repetition  of  the  same 
phrase,  until  he  hit  upon  a  meaning  and  plltas- 
ant  delivery  of  it,  and  by  dint  also  of  following 
the  suggestions  of  M.  Davesnes,  then  R^gisseur 
of  the  ThMtre  Fran^ais,  M.  Delaunay  succeeded 
in  training  his  voice  to  the  singular  resonance 
and  flexibility  that  it  now  possesses.  Next  in 
importance  to  the  acquirement  of  a  fitting  vari- 
ety of  inflection  comes  the  regulation  of  the 
breath.  Ou  this  subject  M.  Legouv^  relates 
how  by  his  command  of  this  Herr  Stockhauseu. 
the  well-known  singer,  astonished  the  Swiss 
guides  who  accompanied  him  in  his  moun- 
tain expedition.**,  and  how  Rubini's  breath- 
ing was  never  heard  when  he  sang. 
"  How  was  this  accomplished?"  he  asks, 
and  proceeds  to  answer  his  question  bv  an  anec- 
dote of  Talma.  The  great  actor,  when  quite 
voung.  was  ulaying  in  Diderot's  "  P^ro  ,de 
Famille."  Wnen  he  left  the  stage  after  deliver.- 
ing  the  famous  tirade,  he  leaned,  completely  ex- 
'  hausted  antl  breathless,  against  the  wing.  "  /m- 
bceile,''  said  the  celebrated  M0I6.  who  w^as  stand- 
ing by,  "et  il  veutjouer  lairagddie /  Viens  tne 
voh-d*'main  tnaiin  et  je  t'appreudrai  comment  on 
pent  Ptre  pdst^iowU sans  s^^poumonner."  For  some 
reason  Talma  got  so  little  out  of  this  lesson  that 
he  resolved  to  apply  for  further  information  to 
an  actor  named  Doi-ival,  who  obtained  a  certain 
success  in  spite  of  a  weak  voice  and  insitrnift- 
cant  presence,  aud  who  never  seemed  to  be  w  >m 
out  by  his  efforts.  Dorival  answered  him  with 
gentle  malice,  in  the  words,  "You  have  so  much 
success,  M.  Talma,  that  you  cannot  want 
lessons."  Talma,  however,  resolved  to  get 
the  information  he  wanted,  and  while 
Dorival  was  playing  Oltdtillon  in  "  Zaire,"  ho 
concealed  himself  in  the  prompter's  box. 
Thence  he  came  out,  having  discovered  Dori- 
val's  secret,  which  was  nothing  else  than  an 
elotborate  system  of  breathing;  he  always  took 
breath  before  the  existing  supply  of  air  in  his 
lungs  was  iLScd  up.  and  in  order  that  his  breath- 
ing might  not  be  heard,  or  interrupt  the  flow  of 
his  words,  he  took  breath  whenever  he  could 
upon  the  vowel  a  or  0.  "  CeM-drdire  aux  endroits 
ou  la  boucJie  d^jd  ouverte  permet  d'aspirer  Ug^rc- 
tnent  sans  que  Vauditcnr  s'en  apeiyoive."  There 
may  be  a  tendency  to  over-elaooration  in  this  ; 
but  it  is  tolerably  obvious'  that  the  art  of  taking 
breath  is  almost  as  important  to  an  actor  oi* 
reader  as  it  is  to  a  singer.  Talma  himself  was 
so  convinced  of  this  that  he  laid  down  as  a 
maxim,  "  To{it  artiste  qui  se  fatigue  est  un  artiste 
mediocre,'' — The  Satuniay  Hwietc. 

Flogging. — Partly  from  the  change  in 
manners,  partly  from  changes  in  the  law,  part- 
ly perhaps  also  from,  the  effects  of  hereditar}'" 
culture — which  undoubtedly,  whatever  its  other 
results,  develops  sensitivi^ness  to  pain — physi- 
cal suffering  begins  to  be  loathed,  by  boys  as 
well  as  men,  and  if  unjustly  inflicted,  produces 
a  bitterness,  a  sense  of  revolt,  a  passion  of  de- 
fiance, which  is  of  all  tempers  the  one  most  in- 
jurious to  the  character.  Boys  so  treated  do 
not  become  hard  in  the  sense  their  parents 
mean  when  they^defend  bullying,  but  callous, 
bad-tempered,  and  above  all,  self-defensive. 
••  They  were  such  good-tempered  bogs,"  said  a 
mother  recently  w^ho  had  three  lads  at  a  school 
— we  will  not  just  nowcreate  prejudice  by  nam- 
ing it — "  and  now  they  are  wl  scowLT'  They 
h£ul,  in  fact,  been  bullied  and  flowed  till  their 
very  natures  seemed  to  have  changed.  Boys  so 
situated,  so  far  from  becoming  manly,  become, 
if  they  have  any  strength-  in  them,  brutal,  as 
violent  and  unreasonable  as  their  persecutors, 
and  as^ready  to  seek  pleasure  in  an  infliction  of 
pain,  which  really  gratifies  them,  by  relieving 
an  amour  pr&pre  all  crushed  and  sore  from  the 
sense  fff  powerlessness.  If,  on  the  other  hand, 
tliey  tend  to  weakness,  they  become  utter 
sneaks.  Talk  of  the  sneaking  developed  .by 
over- watchfulness ;  more  boys  are  made  sneaks 
nowadays,  that  fls  cowards  and  liars  together, 
by  tyranny  and  bullying,  by  the  effort  to  es- 
cape blows  or  avoid  persecution,  than  by 
all  the  eyes  of  all  the  masters  and  ushers  in 
Great  Britain.  It  is  not  only,  we  must  re- 
member, actual  pain  they  fly  from.  The  old 
davs  are  over,  and  the  actual  amount  of"  ^MLin 
is  limited  by  opinion,  till  if  a  boy  breaks  an- 
other boy^s  fingers  he  is  sure  of  a  flogging,  and 
if  he  seats  him  on  the  bars  of  the  grate  he 
risks  a  period  of  imprisonment.  The  children 
of  this  generation  have  grown  imaginative,  and  . 
fly,  as  one  correspondent  of  the  Tims  con- 
fesses that  he  did,  from  terrors  absurdly  exag- 
gerated by  their  own  fears,  but  which,"  never- 
theless, do  all  the  injury  to  their  characters 
that  actual  dangers  would  do.  In  every  other 
department  of  life  we  recognize  that  terror 
does  mischief,  and  that  injustice  injures  the 
character  of  the  victim,  and  yet  we  half  doubt 
whether  bovs  at  school  are  not  made  manly  by 
perpetual  alarm,  and  strengthened  by  the  sense 
that  they  are  powerless  against  injustioe.  The 
slave-driver  who  whips  is  considered  a  brute, . 
but  the  master  who  flogs  is  otfty  a  disciplin- 
arian ;  the  mother  who  governs  by  whipping  is 
despised,  but  the  monitor  who  beats  is  an  eflft-. 
cient  supporter  of  the  authority  of  the  school. 
Putting  down  injustice  everywliere  else,  we  be- 
lieve or  profess  to  believe  that  in  a  school  it 
'•  makes  men"  of  its  victims,  and  though  con- 
vinced that  a  "floating  hell"  "is  never  a  useful 
ship,  believe  that  torture  may  go  on  in  schools 
with  benefit  to  the  scholars'  cauacity  for  life. 
The  utter  absurdity  of  this  belief  can  be  made 
clear  by  a  single  illustration.  Discipline  is  ab- 
solutely essential  to  an  army,  and  the  essence  of 
discipline  is  fear  of  punishment.  Yet  a  regi- 
ment in  which  the  non-commissioned  officers 
could  punish  practically  at  discretion,  and  any 
strong  soldier  could  beat  any  weaker  comrade, 
would  be  "  out  of  order  "  in  a  month. — The  Spee- 


The  LARTNX.^From  the  breast  there 
rises  to  the  middle  of  the  neck  the  passage  for 
the  air  between  the  lungs  and  the  mouth  ;  at 
one  end  it  is  divided  into  numerous  branches, 
called \he  bronchial  tubes;  at  the  upper  end, 
like  the  capital  of  a  column,  is  seen  the  larynx, 
resembling  an  angular  box.  Strong  cartilages 
make  it  very  resistent.  and  the  interior  ia  lined 
with  a  mucous  membrane,  forming  folds,  nuned 
*hfe  vocal  lips.  These  separate,  lengthen,  or 
shorten,  in  the  formation  of  various  sounds. 
The  largest  of  the  four  cartilages  rises  in  an  an- 
nular "form,  and  protects  the  whole  atracture. 
It  is  but  slightly  shown  in  the  neck  of  the  f  e- 
malei  but  strongly  marked  in  the  man,  and  ia 
popularly  called  Adam's  apple.  Like  every- 
thing else,  the  larynx  presenca  individual  difiTer- 
ences;  A  fine  development  is  an  indication  of 
a  powerful  voice.  As  the  child  grows 
up,  there  Is  a  sudden '  alteration  aod  in- 
crease of  size ;  but  it  always  •  remaina 
smaller  in  the  woman  ,  than  in  the  man ; 
the  angles  are  less  sharp,  the  muscles  weaker, 
the  cartilages  thinner  and  more  supple,  which 
accounts  for  the  sharp  treble  notes  in  their 
voices.  Singing  demands  a  different  kind  of 
activity  in  the  organs  from  speaking.  In  socie- 
ty, where  education  requires  a  submission  to 
rule,  singing  belongs  to  the  domain  of  art ;  but 
in  a  primitive  state  all  nation*  have  their  songa.

songs;  the  laborer  rests,  listening  to  a  joyous 
caroL  In  the  solitary  chamber,  the  needle- 
woman accompanies  her  work  with  some  lovo 
ditty,  and  iu  divine  worship  the  heart  is  raised  - 
above  earthly  things  by  the  solemn  chant.  A 
strong  physical  constitution  and  a  perfect 
regularity  in  the  function?  of  the  organs  used 
in  singing  are  inappreciable  advantages.  Tbey 
should  be  capable  of  rendering  on  inspiration 
short  and  easy,  the  expiration  slow  and  pro- 
longed ;  there  is  a  .struggle  betwt>en  retaining 
and  releasing  the  air,  and  with  the  well- en- 
dowed artist  the  larynx  preserves  itii  position«i 
notwithstanding  the  great  variety  of  sonnds' 
whlch  it  emits.  But  the  evolutiou  of  the  part** 
are  multiplied,  the  vocal  lips  vibrate,  and  the 
configuration  of  the  cavity  modifies  the  sounds 
which  are  formed  in  the  glottis,  and  determine 
the  tone  of  the  voice.  The  most  energetic  ef- 
forts of  the  will  cannot  change  this  tone  in  any 
sensible  manner.  Professors  injure  their 
pupils  by  prescribing  the  position  of  the- 
mouth,  from  which  perhaps  they  themselves 
derive  an  advantage.  It  is  interesfing  to  watch 
the  play  of  the  organs  by  the  help  of  the  laryn- 
goscope, and  .see  the  changes  which  succeed!  one 
another  in  the  low  and  high  notes.  At  the  mo- 
ment when  the  sound  is-eues.  t!ie  glottis  is  ex- 
actly closed  ;  then  the  orifice  becomes  a  very 
long  figure,  pointed  at  the  two  extreriiities.  Aa 
the  sound  rises,  the  vocal  lips  approach  each 
other,  and  seem  to  divide  the  orifice  into  tw.j 
parts  ;  then  as  the  highest  notes  are  wmndod. 
there  is  but  a  slit  the  width  of  a  line.  The  vo- 
cal lips  change  like  the  glottis  :  they  stretch  out, 
harden,  thicken,  and  ^-ib^aTe  more  and  more  as 
the  voice  Vises.  Women,  who  have  a  ^^maller 
lar}nixand  shorter  vocal  lips,  can  sing  higher 
notes  than  men,  with  a  tone  Wss  p<»werf  ul.  but 
sweeter,  more  uniform,  and  nuloiiiou?*.  Th<9 
ordinary  limits  of  tho  voice  comprehend  about 
two  octaves  of  the  musical  scale  ;  it  can  easily 
be  increased  to  two  aud  a  half :  but  sortie

without  culture  ;  the  child  endowed  with  this 
great  charm  warbles  like  a  bird  for  amusement; 
a  lover  of  art  passes  bv.  listens  with  surprise, 
and  promises  glory  and  fortune  to  the  rival  of 
the  lark.  Thus  the  famous  Rubini  won  his 
triumphs.  Occa-sionally  tlie  singer  ha.<iri  a  mo-

What   is  Poetry  f— Whf n   the   puete^ 

Louise  Bertin  put  to  Alfred  de  Muswt  the  sti'l 
unanswered  question   "Wiiat  is  poetr\- T'   sha 
received   a  celebrate*!   rejoinder,   the   lait   jiiiJ 
perhaps  the  happiest  clause  of  which  is : 
*'  D'un  sourire..  d'nn  mot.  d'uu  soupir.  Jun  n.';^ird 

FaJre  un  travail  exquis." 
The  answer  was  far  from  satisfying  the  demauS 
of  SlUe.  Bcrtin,  but  a-^  a  deflniti.m  of  ii-jt 
poetry, indeed, but  the  fuii»tiou  of  .1  poet,  il  left 
little  to  be  desiretl.  To  m;ike  imiuoi^al  art  out  of 
transient  feeling,  to  give  the  impression  of  a 
finite  mind  infinite  ex"pansion.  torhi.-sel  material 
beauty  out  of  passing  thoughts  and  emotion-*  — 
this  is  the  lal>or  of  the  poet :  and  it  is  on 
account  of  this  conscious  artifice  and  excrci<!e*of 
constructive  power  that  he  properly  takes  his 
-place  beside  the  sculptor  and  the  puint'^r.  To 
recognize  in  poetry  one  rjf  the  fine  arts  i^eenis 
curiously  dimcult  Ut  an  ordinriry  mind.  The 
use  of  the  same  symbols  which  are  emplwytMl 
for  the  interpretation  of  tliouirhi  in  prose  is 
probably  the  origin  of  the  habitual  impression 
that  poetry  is  rather  allied  to  philosi.phv  than 
toart.  Yet  ever}- artist  in  verse,  h'jwever  humble, 
is  conscious,  from  the  first  tiin<-  that  he  strivest'» 
fa.shion  his  inarticulate  musi.*,  that  the  worV  ho 
tries  to  accomplisi^  is  in  its  e-^ence  plastic.  Th© 
very  images  that  m-cur  to  ih**  min<l  in  consider- 
ingthe  histor\"  of  poetry,  pnivi*  its  finalney  wiiii 
the  fine  arts.  What  |>o«?t  can  >*••  said  to  rer-embN 
Hegel  or  Locke  in  thesen.NeTharDanU'  parallels

"VMiether  the  analogi,-  in  tJie-ie  particular  cases

nothing  unreasonable  in  such  a  sui^gcstion.  Wo 
feel  that  these  men  pro;m"Ssed  in  parallel  art*,

to  dismiss  the  purely  si.nnianeous  rani' 
untutored  expressii>n  <rf  it  a<  of  little  el-ii-

To  Skedaddle. — It  is  very  unsafe  to  pro- 
nounce any  queer  word  or  plmt-ea  new  coinage, 
because  you  are  pretty  sure  lo  finil.  il'  you  look 
into  the  matter,  that  it  has  been  usc-d  'some- 
where or  other  from  time  imiuemoriaL  But 
there  is  certainly  one  American  word,  which  baa 
Cropi>ed  out  withiu  a  few  years,  that  we  may  '' 
reasonably  regard  tis  »  U'-w  Cl.<iua^re.  and  that 
word  is  *•  skedaddle."  It  is  a  ridiculous  but 
graphic  word-which  came  into  general  u-»e  dnr 
ing  our  "late  unpleasantness."  and  means  tc 
run  away,  or  to  be  routed  and  scutlere*!  in  fight 
A  good  many  college  Invys  wt-nt  to  the  war, 
and  although  they  did'ut  usually  carry

at  least  knew  a  little  bit  of  Greek,  aiid 
more  than  one  of  them  could  no  li'^ubt  hHv« 
told  you  that  Jt/:<*duRnH»ii  means  lo  s<-atter,  one 
also  to  be  scattered,  to  diyperse.  to  '•put*'o: 
take  to  flight.  Now.  what *ran  be  u»>re  natural 
— to  talk  after  the  manuer  ot  the  Cox  school  ol 
.mythologists — what  cau  be  mi)re  natural  than  tc 
suppose  that  some  ingenious  studenj-soldiercon- 
-,verted  skedannumi  int^i  skedaddle,  thereby 
taking  away  its  learned  and  jxiuderous  sonnc 
and  giving  it  a  vernacular  twist  which  made  is 
tickle  people's  ears,  and  thus  gave  it  currency ' 
So  here  at  least  it  is  fair  to  suppose  that  we  maj 
have  a  word  of  American  coinage,

fidence. But  my  English  friend  Inst  no  time  in 
upsetting  my  bj-pothesis.  "  Why."  they  •■■£- 
claim^.  "  we  need  to  live  in  Lancashire,  and 
heard  skedaddle  every  day  of  our  lives.  It 
means  to  scatter,  or  drop  iu  a  scattering  way.  If 
you  run  with  a  basket  of  potatoe.-j  or  apple-*,  and

Tee  Miracle  of  Lourdes.— On  the  uiw 

supported  evidence  of  a  supernatural  revelation, 
without  a  single  additional  scrap  of  testimony. 
is  based  the  belief  which  urges  thousands  of 
devotees  to  rush  to  Lourdes  from  divers  points 
of  Christendom.  '  The  grotto  was-inclosod  with 
a  strong  palisade  concealing  the  spring,  and 
people  were  warned  away  by  a  notice  to  commit 
no  trespass.  Votive  offerings,  such  as  botxquetc 
of  natural  or  artificial  flowers,  pieces  of  money 
of  all  sorts  and  in  great  quantities,  and  wai 
tapers,  were  remove<l.  Xotliing,  however, 
could  stop  the  affluence  of  belie\*er8  or  curious 
inquirers.  In  Summer  comes  the  crowd  ol 
tourists,  bathers,  invalids,-  and  idlers,  who 
annually  betake  tliemselves  to  the  P>Tenean 
watering-places.  Natural  curiosity  drove  thom 
to  inspect  the  Mussabielle  gTottbe.s  and  the 
famous  spring.  The  posts  and  barricades  raised 
by  the  civil  power  only  increa-sed  the  excitement 
of  the  visit.  The  greater  the  difl3cultie3  opposed 
by  the  Police,  the  more  the  pilgrims  insisted  on

A    STORY. 

"  Why,  it  is  Musgrave !  ce  dher  Arthur !  I 
thought  yon,  mon  ami,  to  be  in  Spain  still. 
What  good  wind,  what  wind  of  fortune,  has 
blown  you  to  us  here,  in  Ru.ssia  ?" 
'  Such  were  the  words  which  reached  my  ears, 
as  a  gloved  '  gra.sp  was  suddenly  laid  upon  my 
arm,  while  I  was  traversing  the  railway  plat- 
form at  Minsk.  I  turned  to  find  myself  con- 
fronted by  the  smiling  face  of  Demetrius  Vas- 
^sili,  a  Russian  whom  I  had  known  for  some 
thre^.  or.  four  years  at  St.  Petersburg,  Paris, 
and  wherever  diplomatists  and  birds  of  passage 
congregate.  He,  this  well-whiskered,  glib- 
tougued  Vassili,  belonged  to 'both  categories, 
Bince,  when  I  first  knew  him,  in  the  Czar"s 
capital,  he  was  ^  Professor  of  the  Uni- 
. versity,  while  in  Paris  he-  was  an  underling  of 
the  Russian  Embassy,  aud  at  Madjju  a  gentle- 
mau.'at  large.  ''"'^ 

I^-onfess  that  I  did  not  mucli  like  Demetrius 
Vafcsili.  though  I  was  more  t^n  half  ashamed  of 
my  prejudice,  for  the  man  was  friendly,  almost 
tpoo  ostentatiously  so  ;_yfras  polite,  genial,  and 
one  of  those  amiable  persons  who  are  always 
taking  our  good  opinion  by  storm,  as  it  were, 
by  theigraceful  rendering  of  some  Uttle  service 
or  other.  Vassili,  when  I  was  a  raw  lad 
new  to  the  Continent,  had  been  kind  to 
me'  once  or  twice,  and  I  had  repaid  his 
gowl  nature  by  taking  his  part  when  others 
sp»jke  evil  of  him.  iti  a  vague  way,  behind  his 
b;;ck.  for  he  was  uot  popular  somehow.  There 
he  was,  at  anj-  rate,  and  evidently  delighted  to 
'see  me.  

".*  By  the  ^'i"  abruptly  put  in  my  old  ac- 
quaintance, nnking  his  arm  in  mine,  *•  I  have 
to  congratulate  you,  have  I  not  >.  It  is  true  that 
you  are  about  to  marry  the  beautiful  MUe. 
Jlarie,  daughter  of  C^ount  Constautine  Orloff, 
the  young  lady  who  at  Madrid,  when  I  was 
there,  broke  all  hearts  '." 

It  was  tnie  that  I  was  betrothed  to  Marie 
Orloff  ;  indeed,  I  was  on  my  way  then  to  her 
fathers  mansion,  at  which  it  had  been  ar- 
'ranged  that  I  should  be  a  guest  until  the  wed- 
ding should  take  place,  according  to  both  the 
English  and  Riisso-Ureek  forms,  at  .St  Peters- 
burg. Our  engagement  had  conio  about  in  this 
wise.  I.  Arthur  Musgrave,  as  an  attach<5  of 
our  legationr  at  Madrid,  had  been  thrown 
•  much  into  the  so<.itty  of  the  daughter 
of  the  Russian  Envoy,  had  learned  to  love 
her,  and  had  be<'n  lucky  enough  to  teach 
her  to  love  me.  My  chief  difficulty  was  with 
the  C'onnt,  who  was  at  first  very  much  annoyed 
a'tid  displeased.  Ku-'tsia — youngest  of  natiuus — 
has  an  aristocracy  that  iu  pride  and  pretension 
'rivals  the  "blue  blood"  of  Spain,  and  every 
Muscovite  noble  is  convinced  that  the  English 
are.  as  Napoleon  called  us,  a  nation  of  shop- 
kevperSr  quite  unfit  to  nmte  with  their  own  upper 
classes.  Fortunately  fur  me,  however,  I  was 
heir  to  an  entailed  property,  ^mall,  indeed,  but 
the  rent-roll  of  which  seemed  respectable  in 
Cocrtinental  eyes ;  while  1  was  able  to  convince 
t'orint  Orloff  that  my  border  ancestry  had 
diTveu  off  Scottish  cattle,  ami  ridden  in  wardeu 
raids,  at  a  iinie  wheu  his  own  forefathers  were 
l^robably  unbaptized  Tartars,  for  it  is  a  curious 
tjct  that  the  titled  families  of  Russia  are 
<;eorgian.  Tartar,  Uerman,  Swedish,  anything 
but  Russian. 

All  now  was  happily  .settled,  and,  as  I  have 
said.  1  was  on  my  Way  to  tuy  future  father-in- 
law's  country  chateau,  a  Summer  residence  in 
the  hike  district  of  Ostaschkoi,  near  Tver  on 
the  Upper  Volga.  The  Count's  estates  lay 
chie&rlu  that  neighlx>rhood,  and  he  had  lately 
beenjppointed.  by  one  of  those  abrupt  tcansi- 
tions  f7x>m  one  service  to  another,  which  are 
fonimon  under  the  Czar's  rule,  Governor  of  the 
prx/vince. 

*'  But  what  chance,  M.  Vassili,  V>rings  you 
h«reJ"  1  asked,  when  we  had  shaken  hands. 
**'!  heard  of  you  ta.st  as  in  Rome." 
"Here  toAlay.  there  to-morrow,*"  answered 
r\'a.t-.iili.  airily.  "  I  have  been  in  Asia  lately. 
Khali  be  at  Wilna  to-morrow,  and  in  St.  Peters- 
(lurg  next  week.  I  serve  a  master  who  has  deal- 
bigs  in  far  away  places." 

"  Von  mean  the  Emperor  V  I  inquired,  and 
the  Russian  nodded  with  a  look  of  good-humored 
nivsterj-.  At  this  moment  up  came  a  porter  to 
tell  me,  cringingly,  that  my  excellency  must,  he 
feared,  be  content  to  wait  six  hours  or  more  for 
a  train.  There  had  been  a  movement  of  troops 
toward  Poland,  disordering  the  cximpany's  ar- 
Cttn^ments,  and  taking  up  the  rolling-stock.   I_ 

*"  The  Emperor's  orders,  noble  gospodin."  ^ 
atWed.  with  a  deprecatory  shrug,  as  he  saw  my 
Vexed  face. 

Then  Demetrius  chimed  in.  His  train,  too, 
bad  l>een  delayed  by  the  concentration  of  troops 
t>u  the  Polish  frontier.  He,  too.  had  some  hours 
'to  spend  at  Minsk.  Ho  had  ordered  dinner  at 
the  Black  Eagle,  hard  by.  The  landlord  knew 
hi^m^'ellTand  would  serve  up  a  tolerable  repast. 
Would  I  be  charitable  and  share  what  would 
otherwise  be  a  solitary  meal  ? 

Vassili  gave  me  a  good  dinner,  and  we  lin- 
gered long  over  our  cigars  and  coffee,  chatting 
of  other  scenes  and  old  times.  Then,  at  length, 
ward  was  brought  that  the  train  for  Wiina  was 
ln.sight. 

"Now  I  think  of  it."  said  my  host,  in  his  care- 
l».-s  way,  ''on  your  road  to  the  Count's  chftteau 
you  will  pass  Staritza — yes  I"  he  added,  glancing 
Hft  the  open  map  that  lay  beside  me  on  the  table ; 
"■  of  course  you  will,  and  change  horses  there. 
■1  wish,  if  it  be  not  too  much  to  ask,  that  you 
would  kindly  give  a  message  from  me  to  "the 
village  priest,  or  papas,  there — Pope  John  Pe- 
rovich." 

**  I  will,  with  pleasure,"^  I  ^plied.  **  but  re- 
member, my  Russian  is  hot  very  fiuent,  and  I 
presume  the  priest  talks  no  French." 

Vassili  laughingly  assured  me  that  the  words 
wet«  very  few  and  simple,  and  suggested  that  I 
should  pencil  them,  from  his  dictation,  on  a  slip 
of  paper  which  he  pushed  toward  me.  These 
w«re  the  words  of  the  message :  "  Your  son  " 
(-our  clergy  marry,  you  know,  like  the  laity," 
iiiterjectedTpemetrius)  "  has  been  ill,  but  take 
Comfort.  He  is  doing  well  now,  and,  if  he  acts 
3>romptly,;  with  the  blessing  of  the  Panagia,  will 
succeed.     He  sends  his  love,  faith,  and  duty." 

"  I  saw  the  Pope's  son,"  explained  Demetritis, 
"the  other  day  at  Odessa.  Young  Cyril  is  a 
com-desler  and  hay  merchant,  a  pushing,  spec- 
ulative/fellow, but  as  honest  as  the  day.  He  was 
recovaring  from  a  fever,  but  hoped  to  fill  his 

purset'by  buying  up  all  the ah !    thare  is  the 

railway  whistle,  so  we  must  be  quick !  You'll 
do  ir.y  errand,  then,  dear  Arthur,  will  you  not, 
and  gladden  the  heart  of  the  good  old  man  !" 

D.  was  not  until  long  after  Vassili  and  I  had 
pai  ted  that  it  occurred  to  me  to  wonder  why  he 
Bb  ould  have  charged  me  with  such  a  message. 
It  would  have  been  simpler,  surely,  and  more 
B  jeedy ,  as  a  means  of  commimicating  with  Pope 
<  ohn,  to  have  relied  on  the  post.  But  then 
'these  rustic  priests  were  ignorant,  and  possibly 
the  eyes  of  the  papas  were  not  very  weU  accus- 
tomed to  deciphering  manuscript-  At  any  rate 
I  wpuld^naake  a  point  of  executing  the  commis- 
Bion. 

"Pope  John,  English  lord?"  said  the  inn- 
teener  at  Staritza,  falteringly,  as  I  asked  for  a 
guid^  to  show  me  the  way  to  the  parsonage, 
while  the  slow  postillions  were  unharnessing,  iu 
therrardy  fashion  in  which  work  is  done  in  Rus- 
aia^the  tired  horses  from  the  carriage." 

'"Certainly,"  said  1,  observing  his  embanass- 
fflwat.  "Is  the  priest  ill,  or  what  is  there  sor- 
P^  sing  in  a  traveler's  inquiring  for  himl" 
/The  landlord  bowed  obsequiously. 
*  "  Ton 'U  find  the  papas  in  good  health,  noble 
"if  ^spodin,"  he  said,  in  sugared  accents.  **  Yon- 
V-Mr'is  the  psrsonage,  with  the  white  gable."

waiting."  said  the  priest,  with  as  lovi  a  bow  as 
he  could  have  ejceclited  in  the  presf  nco  of  his 
Bishop.  "You •bring me  news,  I  an  told,  of 
mv  dear  son  1"        | 

S  cannot  say  ithat  the  revere  id  gentle- 
man Impressed  ine  very  favors  biy.  Pope 
John  was  a  coijpulent  old  man  with  a 
snowy  beard  tha^  would  have  d  >ne  credit 
to  a  hermit;  long  white  locks  falll  ig  from  be- 
neath his  black  v^vet  skuU-cap.  a  nuffy  and 
frajred  cassock,  and  dark-blue  spect  wlea.  from 
.  behind  which  a  pair  of  keen  thougl  half-shut 
eyes  surveyed  me  ^tb  a  watchfubie  s  that  had 
"■in  it  sometiung  feline.  The  priest's  voice,  too, 
:  at  once  coarse  an^  wheedling,  gral  &d  on  my 
ear,  though  nothing  could  exceed  thi  bland  ur- 
banity of  his  recjepuon  of  me.  Twic  1  over  did 
I  repeat  the  substance  of  Vassili'  i  remarks 
concerning  the  |  young  com-  Lealer  at 
Odessa,  and  tlwipo,  at  -the  old  jpan's  re- 
quest, iiid  I  mention  every  circumstance  of 
my  interview  with  Demetrius,  **  hla  kind  and 
noble  patron,"  as  lie  called  him  ;  th  m  1  placed 
the  written  slip  |of  [paper,  on  which  I  had  pen- 
ciled the  message,  in  the  priest's  ban  Is,  and  de- 
clining his  offer  of  I  refreshments,  to<  k  my  leave 
of  him.  As  I  left,  the  parsonage/  thought  I 
heard  some  whisi[ered  talk,  and/t  len  a  low, 
sneering  laugh.      1  y* 

**  I  am  much  mistaken.**  said  1  to  i  ayself,  as  I 
stepped  into  my|  carriage,  and  gave  my 
postillion  the  signal  to  start,  "  if  Pope 
John.  •  the  good  old  man,'  ^s  Vassili 
called  him,  be  not  as  consummate  an  i  greasy  a 
humbug  as  ayiy  in  Muscovy."  Then  my 
thoughts  reverted  to  rosy  dreams  of  Marie  and 
the  future,  and  l!  sank  into  a  re  rerie,  from 
which  I  only  awakened  to  percei"  e  that  my 
driver  was  proceeding  in  a  leisur  ly  manner 
that  was  most  unusual,  for  if  Rui  suins  work 
slowly  they  drive  fast. 

*•  Come,  come,  my  lad  !"  said  I,  g  tod-humor- 
edly  ;  "  surely  thijee  good  nags  a  id  a  light 
kibitka  ought  not  to  go  at  a  snail's  pace  like 
this !"  I 

As  I  spoke  I  hjeard  the  gallop  of  distant 
horses,  mingling  w^th  the  clank  of  steel.  We 
were  on  a  sandy  road,  traversing  01  e  of  those 
huge  pine  forfests,  the  sombre  gloon  of  which, ' 
alternating  with  the  glare  of  the  ivhite  sand, 
has  occasioned  the  name  of  **  Black  Russia"  to 
be  assigned  to  the;e  central  provii  ces  of  the 
ancient  Muscovy.  Very  soon  we  were  over- 
takenTjy  the  hard  riders  in  our  roar,  their 
sword.s  clashing  against  flank  and  st  irmp,  their 
horses  in  a  foanip^in  all.  some  2i  >  mounted 
men.  Most  of  these,  bv  their  long  lances  and 
barbarian  equipment,  f  knew  to  b(  C-ossacks. 
but  others  wore  the  uniform  of  gem  armes,  and 
three  at  least  were!  officers. 

"Pull  up!  halt.  I  say!"  shout*  d  he  who 
seemed  to  command ;  aud  iu  an  nstant  my 
driver  obeyed.        ' 

"  Secure  the  foreigner  T'  was  the  lext  order ; 
and  with  amazing  {  quickness  1  was  grasped  by 
two  of  the  dismounted  troopers. 

"  Resist,  and  I  flre  I"  growled  a  C  ossack  Cor- 
poral, pressing  the  muzzle  of  his  p  istol  to  my 
left  temple,  whiie  his  soldiers  lexterously 
chained  my  wristajtogether.  Then,  thaking  off 
the  stupor  of  -siirj^rise.  I  found  aiy  tongue. 
There  was.  I  s:iid,  Evidently  some  mi  stake,  some 
confusion  of  persolis.  My  passport,  i;  they  would 
kindly  look  for  iti  ip  the  breast-pc  :ket  of  my 
ulster,  would  prov^  me  to  be  Arthui  Musgrave, 
of  the  British  lUploiiuitic  senice.  jui  ior  attach^ 
of  H.  B.  M.'s  Le;,^tiim  at  Madrid. 

*'  Prisoner,  you  trifle  with  justict  !"  said.tho 
comraandaut  sternly,  in  French  :  a;  id,  indeed, 
when  the  moroci-o  ca^e  was  dra  vn  out  and 
opened,  it  proved  to  be  empty.  3  y  passport 
and  papers  were  gone,  iuespUcably  t  >  me.  As  I 
staled  blankly  '  tmero  .  was  a  roar  <:  P  laughter, 
mingled  with  comniMits  on  my  efFro  iterj*. 

"Remove  th^?  irotemled  Englisiman  !"  or- 
dered the  Colortel  and  I  was  thrusi  back  into 
the  carriatje,  a  s|!)h  ier  on  each  side  of  me,  and 
conducted  to  the  town  of  Torjok,  rhere  1  was 
lodged  in  jail,     i 

I  do  uot  like,  evj-n  yet.  to  recall  ^  rhat  I  un- 
derwent during  thit'  miserable  three  veeks  that 
1  spent  iu  the  prison  c>f  Torjok.  It  i  as  uot  that

none  of  whom  would  lieteti  to  the  plain

proiuise.  persuasion,  to  wring  ou  t  of  me  a 
eonfession  which,  as  they  said,  wo  ild  enable 
me  to  claim  theiC/iar's  mercy  and  a  I  ightorpun- 
i.shment  for  my  crime.  I  was  brow  )eaten.  bul- 
lied, argued  \rith.  coaxed,  but  never  accused  of 
anvthing.  When  u  incjuircd  the  na  ure  of  mv 
offense  I  was  jeer«il  at.  Wheu  1  adjured  my 
captors  to  write  to  the  British  Er  ibiu'isy,  my ' 
prayer  was  treated  as  an  impuden  jest.  Aud 
when  I  mentioned  Count  Orloff.  th  •  Governor 
of  the  pro\nnce.  :vs  my  future  fat^  er-in-law,  I 
really  thought  theJudge  of  Instruc  ;ion  would 
have  flown  at  my  tjhroat,  so  angry  w  is  he. 

"  Only  bread  and  water-  for  thi' contuma- 
cious!" I  heard  him  ro^  to  thn  jaile  as  he  went 
out.  I  thought,  betweehthem,  that  they  would 
have  driven  me  mad.  aud  shoult  have  wel- 
comed Siberia  as  a  release. 

I  grew  sullen  at  I  last,  and  refusei  to  return 
any  answer  to  the  interrogatories  pith  which 
thev  plied  me.  tl  began  almost  5  o  doubt  my 
own  identity.  1}  could  not  be  my  elf,  Arthur

ish me  if  they  would.  I  felt  as  thoi  igb  I  were 
the  only  sane  mian  amon^j  a  pack  of  nadmen. 

"  Here  is  the  |  wretch,  your  Excel  ency."  said 
a  voice  one  day  as  my  cell  door  wras  thrown 
open,  with  a  clatter  of  swords  and  .'  purs  on  the 
stone  floor  thall'indicatetl  the  arri\al  of  some 
distinfTuished  personage ;  *'  there  th  j  desperado

I  looked  up.  Tliere.  in  frc  nt  of  the 
group  stood,  inl  ai  rich  uniform,  tl  e  breast  of 
which  sparkled  with  orders,  the  **  excellency"

"Count  Orloff  r'  "What!  Musi  rave  I  Ar-

And  to  the  .seandal  of  the  Judge  the  jailer, 
and  the  rest  of  jthem.  the  Governor  of  the 
province  hurried  i^cross  the  grimy  fl  >or  to  clasp 
my  hands,  and  to  order,  in  a  voice  t  lat  brooked 
no  denial  or  delay,  that  my  chain  i  should  in- 
stantly be  taken  off. 

"  My  poor  ifellow,  how  ■  you  must  have 
.stiffered,"  said  the  Count  feelin  jly,  as  he 
saw  how  nalo  and  hagj^ard  I  Had  grown. 
And  then  came  |  explanations,  tht  cream  of 
which  was  that  tfcere  had  been  a  £  sciali.st  con- 
spiracy, a  ^ridespread  one,  luckily  detected  in 
tune,  a  prime  raojrer  in  which  had  l)eeu  my  ac- 
quaintance, Vassili,  who  had  evide  itly  made  a 
cat's-paw  of  m^  in  inducing  me  Id  carry  his 
message  to  the  priest,  while  at  the  s  ime  time  he 
purloined  my  English  passport  t  nd  papers, 
probably  for  the  skkc  of  escaping,  ii  cise  of  the 
worst,  under  m^  name. 

"  But  Pope  John,   and  his  son, 
wildcred. 

"  The  real  Pope  John,  a  sad

arrested  the  dav  before  you

to  whom  you  gave  the  message,  ( isguised  in 
the  priest's  clothas,  was  Major  Bu  low.  of  the 
Imperial  Gendarmerie  ;  and  the  mc  ssage  itself 
was  an  artful  concoction,  couched  ii  a  sort  of 
vjerbal  cipher,  the  key  to  whicl  i  a  traitor 
gave  us,  and  which,  but  for  our  mili- 
tary precaution?!,  would  have  led  to 
revolt  of  the  Poljsh  regiment  at  Tver,  and 
raising  of  the  pea^ntry  in  50  pari;  hes.  As  it 
is,  all  is  safe,  and  u  telegram  has  gi  st  informed 
me  that  Vassili  himself  has  been  <  aptured  on

The 


London  Custom-house.— The  Gus- 


to: n-house  contains  a  museum  of  real  curiosities 
—  nemo  rials  of  attempts  at  smu^ling.  Various 
ca  ises  h  avo  contributed  to  the  decline  of  con- 
traband sm  as  a  means  of  livelihood,  chief 
aniongirhichare  the  nocessary  reductions  and 
alleratdons  in  t}ie  Customs  tariff  since  the  adop- 
tic  n  in  this  country  of  free-trade  principles. 
W  hen  such  valuable  and  iK>rtable  articles  as 
Wl  tches  and  lace  were  heavily  taxed,  the  temp- 
tal  Ion  tc  secrete  them  waa  naturally  very  .com- 
mi  m,  Ai  the  same  period,  too,  the  duty  on  spirits 
w£  s  abo  it  five  times  ba  much  as  its  intrinsic 
W(  rth,  and  therefore  this  class  of  goods  afforded 
a  rich  harvest  to  the  successful  smuggler. 
Tl  ings  1  ire  changed  now,  for  lace  and  watched 
ar»  dutjT  free,  and  the  tax  upon  spirits  has 
be  sn  re<  uced  considerably  more  than  one-half. 
Tc  bacco  and  spirits,  owing  perhaps  to  the  uni- 
versal demand  for  them,  have  always,  above 
otier  t  lings,  met  with  the  smuggler's  par- 
tic  ular  regard  ;  and  such  cases  as  now  come 
before  our  Police  magistrates  are  generally  con- 
flred  tcj  these  two  articles.  A  matter-of-fact 
h(  avy  fine  and  conftscation  of  the  surreptitious 
gcods  is  the  usual  result  of  conviction;  aad  the 
smuggler — which  our  childhood's  fancy  painted 
as  a  brave  hero  fighting  the  myrmidons  of  an 
oppressive  Government  in  some  wild  cave  on  the 
sei-shoie — is  quietly  walked  off  to  prison  until 
he  can  j  ay  the  forfeit.  "  The  Smuggler's  Cave." 
stjU  remains ;  for  with  that  clinging  fondness 
f o  p  the  iraditi<ms  of  past  times,  it  is  the  fashion 
to  digni  :y  any  natural  crevice  in  our  cliffs  with 
th  %t  titl  i ;  but  now  the  modern  policeman  steps 
u%  on  th  3  scene,  and  poetical  ideas  vanish  with 
thft  s^ui  d  of  his  creaking  contract  boots.  The 
chief  e\idence  of  smuggling  as  it  has  existed 
wi  th  in  1 30  present  century  is  furnished  by  certain 
articles  vhich  have  been  seized  from  time  to  time, 
ar  d  which  are  now  lodged  in  the  Custom-house 
Miseun.  It  is  to  this  museum  that  we  now 
intend  to  direct  our  readers'  attention,  and 
more  especially  to  a  certain  large  cabinet  iu  the 
cc  rner  ( f  the  room,  the  contents  of  which  sup- 
pV  a  title  to  this  paper.  The  first  thing  which 
IS  poiut«:d  out  to  us  is  a  ship's  "  fender."  which 
w !  may  remind  dur  readers  is  a  block  of  wood 
w  th  a  rope  attached  slung  over  the  bows  to 
pi  event  the  abrasion  whkh  might  be  cau.sed  by 
contact  with  another  vessel.  This  paracular 
feader  was  found  to  bo  hollow,  and  to  contain 
several  pouuds  of  comproased  tobacco.  The 
of  icer  vho  thought  of  looking  for  the  soothing 
w  sed  in  such  a  receptacle  must  have  been  an 
estremdy 'cute  individual.  But  here  is  a  still 
m  tre  e.\  traordinary  hiding-place,  and  one  which 
m  list  ha  ve  involved  a  journey  aloft  for  its  detec- 
tion— a  ship's  block,  the  sheave  or  wheel  of 
w  lich  i;i  actually  made  of  solid  tobacco.  Here 
is  an  or  lameutal  pedestal  which  once  adorned 
the  coner  of  a  Captain's  cabin,  and  would  per- 
hrps  ad:)rn  it  still,  had  it  not  lieen  found  gorged 
w  th  contraband  cigars.  Another  commander 
aj  pears  to  have  been  a  more  moderate  smoker,

cl  eroota.  which  were  found  in.side  ■  a  sham  loaf

Virgil,  the  Poet  of  REsroNATiON.— No 
C  iristis  n  poet  is  so  emphatically  as  Virgil  the 
pdetof  resignation.  A  mournful  acceptance  of 
tie  decrees  of  heaven  breathes  throughout  bis 
verse  and  gives  it  that  pathetic  tenderness  of 
wtiieh  Dr.  Newmau  speaks  in  words  that  echo 
iti  own  beauty.  His  lines  have  indeed  a  power 
tc  soottie  the    oppressed    heart,  which    is  often 

mlint:  to  those  who  have  been  uttered  with 
tl  at  obj  ect.  They  steal  upon  the  mind  with  a 
vision  (f  .sonae  larger  world,  where  tbe  struggle 
and  the  weariness  of  life  is  seen  as  part  of  a  gen-

the  eiui.  They  soem  to  repeat  the  strain  of 
human  trouble  with  some  added  key-note  that 
robs  it  of  its  discord.  Their  plaintive  minor 
sets  its(lf  to  the  sad  rhythm  of  perplexity  and 
defeat  that  haunts  us  all.  and  lends  complaint  a 
certfiin  grace.    They  open  no  infinite  vista  of 


hope,  n  >r  do  they  ever  quite  attain  that  depth  of

inade<iuacy.  But  they  present  human  sorrow 
in  an  aspect  which  links  it  to  some  mysterious 
development  of  a  divine  purpose,  and  this  idea, 
even  w|iere  it  brings  in  no  \ision  of  heavenly

Is  Mars  Inhabited  ? — The  condition.s 
which  favor  the  belief  in  the  existence  of 
life  in  |  the  planet  Mars,  present  the  clearest 
possible  evidence  of  being  ''ono  in  or- 
igin and  structure  with  our  own  .earth.  We 
cannot  iell  what  the  nature  of  the  soil  of  Mars 
may  be,  but  its  generally  ruddy  tinge — so  well 
marked  that,  though  the  telescope  shows  an  al- 
most equal  part  of  the  surface  to  be  greenish  in 
hue,  the  rod  provail.s,  giving  to  the  planet  as 
seen  by  the  naked  eye  its  obvious  red  color — 
seems  tb  show  that  it  i^sembles  the  red  sand- 
stone of  our  own  earth.  This,  we  know,  is  one 
of  the  (Ider  geological  formations,  and  if  we 
could  safely  compare  terrestrial  with  Martian 
geolcfgj ,  or,  let  tis  say,  geology  with  areology, 
we  might  almost  be  tempted  to  find  in 
the  present  prevalence  of  a  tint  belonging  to 
one  o^  the  earlier  of  our  terrestrial  for- 
mation |an  argument  in  favor  of  the  theory  that 
Mars  passed  through  fewer  stagea  of  develop- 
ment dluring  its  life-bearing  condition  than  our 
earth,  and  that  thus  the  later  formations  of  our 
earth's|lsurface  are  wanting  in  the  surface  of 
Mars.  iThis  reasoning  would  not.bo  very  safe, 
hpwevcir ;  it  implies  a  resemblauce  in  details 
whit^  is  unlikely,  the  observed  rule  of  nature 
seeming,  so  far  as  we  can  judge,  to  be  similarity 
in  genefrals,  variety  in  details.  We  ma^  well 
believej  that  the  nxddiness  of  the  soil  of  Mars 
is  jdud  to  the  same  general  cause  as 
t^e|  ruddiness  of  our  red  sandstone — the  gen- 
era^ prevalence  of  certain  organisms — but 
n^either  the  actual  character  of  this  par- 
ticular! formation,  nor  its  position  in  the 
terfestifial  series  of  strata  can  be  safelv  predicted 
of  the  ruddy  formation  constituting  the  chief 
part  of  the  visible  land  surface'  of  Mars.  Few  i 
will  now  suppose  with  a  French  writer  that  ttie 
riiddiness  of  Mars  is  due  to  the  color  of  vegeta- 
tioip  there,  A  Certain  support  is  given  to  the 
idea  byl  the  circumstance  that  the  degree  of  rud- 
djihess  is  variable,  and  is  somewhat  greater  dur- 
ing thel  Maratian  Summer  than  in  Spring  and 
Autumn.  In  this  seuse,  we  may  say  of  the  Sum- 
mer of  Mars  with  the  p>oet  Wendell  Holmes  : 

j  "Thel  snows  that  glittered  on  the  disk  of  Mars 
I      Have  melted,  and  the  planet's  fiery  orb 
Rolls  in  the  crimsoD  Summer  of  its  year." 

I  But  she  ruddiness  of  the  planet's  Summer —  I 
which  will  be  well  marked  this  year,  for  on  Sept. 
18,  only  11  days  after  its  time  of  nearest  ap- 
proachjand  greatest  splendor,  it  will  be  Midsum- 
mer's day  for  the  southern  half  of  Mars— can  be 
otherwise  and  better  explained  than  by  suppos- 
ing thak;  the  Martian  forests  glow  with  fiery  foli- 
ajge  during  the  Summer  days.  We  can  see,  as 
the  Summer  proceeds,  the  white  mists  wbich 
had  hidden  the  planet's  lands  and  seas  breaking 
up,  and  the  features  of  the  surface  being  gradu- 
tSly  revealed  with  more  and  more  dis- 
tinctn€s»s.  It  is  to  the  disappearance  of 
these  I  mists  and  clouds,  not  to  the 
red  leaves  of  Martian  trees,  that  the  change  in 
t^e  planet's  color  must  most  probably  be  re- 
ferred-j  We  have  less  reason  for  doubt  as  to  the 
nature  of  the  greenish  markings.  The  spectro- 
Bcope,  as  we  have  already  explained  in  Infe  in 
Mara,  jshows  that  the  air  of  Mars  is  at  times 
ladsn  Ueavily  with  the  tsdot  of  wai«r.    We  cao 


10  loalfrer,  fheref orsr  follow  Whewell  in  doubting 
,e  teju  nature  of  the  green  parts  of  the  planet, 
or  refuse  with  him  to  accept  the  explanation  of 
the'Vhite  polar  markings  long  since  advanced 
by  Sir  W.  Herschel.  Undoubtedly,  wide 
seas  and  oceans,  with  many  straits  and 
bays  I  and ,  izi^d  seas,  exist  on  Mars. 
Snow  I  afid  ice  gather  in  the  Winter 
time  about  his  pojar  regions,  diminishing  grad- 
i^ly  Sn  extent  a$  Summer  proceeds,  but  never 
entirely  disappearing.  Thus  we  are  not  left 
doubtful  as  to  thei  general  resemblance  of  Mars, 
so  fait  as  the  structure  of  his  surface  is  con- 
cerned, to  the  earth  on  which  we  live.  He  has 
a  surface  of  earth,  probably  in  large  part  formed 
by  deposition  at  tiie  bottom  of  former  seas  and 
subsequently  raised  above  the  sea-level  by  sub- 
terranean forces,  or  rather  caused  to  appear 
a|bote|the  surface  by  the  effects  of  the  gradual 
shrikikage  of  the  planet's  crust. — The  Z'ornhiU

Talk  in  the  Silent  World. — This  Ger- 
man system  may  literally  be  called  the  art  of 
teaching  tlie  dumb  to  speak.  This  will  hardly 
appear  impossible  if  it  l)e  borne  in  mind  that 
the  vocal  organs  of  cougemtally  deaf  persons 
are,  so  long  as  they  are  young,  unimpaired. 
The  faculty  of  producing  sound  is  there,  but  the 
idea  of  sound  not  being  present,  no  attempt  is 
made  to  employ  it.  It  is»-truethat  by  long  dis- 
use the  larynx  loses  the  vocal  property,  but  in 
the  case  of  deaf  children  there  is  veiy  little  dif- 
ficulty in  inducing  them  to  utter  articulate 
sounds,  not  so  clear  and  musical  as  those  pro- 
ceeding from  persons  who  are  not  deaf,  but  dis- 
tinct and  intelligible.  At  the  .same  time  the  eye 
of  the  pupil  becomes  educated  to  follow  the  lips 
of  the  speaker,  and  to  gather  from  their  move- 
ments the  words  uttered.  The  process  of 
teas'hing  children  on  the  German  system 
is  ( nrious  and  interesting.  The  first  aim  is  to 
strengtlien  and  expand  the  vocal  organs  by 
ggntle  exercise,  the  next  to  train  the  pupil  to 
■Tvateh  the  motions  of  the  lips  and  tongue.  an<l 
endeavor  to  copj-  them.  The  sense  of  sound,  to 
which  the  auditory  nerve  is  dead,  is  next  con- 
veyed through  the  sen.se  of  touch,  the  pupils 
l>eing  taught  to  feel  the  vibrations  in  their  own 
throats  and  bodies  wlien  sound  is  emitted,  and 
to  learn  td  control  these  vibrations  at  will. 
When  a  correct  understanding  and  use  of  all 
the  vowels  and  consonants  ha.s  been  obtained, 
the  pupils  are  ready  to  form  words  and  to  use 
them  as  we  do.  The  building  up  of  language 
now  commences  on  a  plan  similar  to  that  which 
nature  follows  wlien  children  learn  to  talk  by 
ear.  Simple  words  and  every -day  phrases  c'>mv 
Jirst.  the  more  difiicult  l>eing  gradually  built 
upon  and  out  of  th^j  simpler  forms  of 
expression;  and  the  closer  the  artificial 
educational  plan  approaches  to  the  natural 
ear-taught  process,  the  better  will  be  tht?  result 
in  th»-  end.  In  some  German  schools  a  H-^w  i:at- 
ural  gestures  .ire  allowed  to  be  used  iu  the  early 
stages  of  teaching,  but  the  highest  type  of  the 
system  is  steadfastly  oppo.sed  to  all  signs,  and 
makes  tiie  pupits  depend  entirely  on  languag.'

Ui'BEN.s. — Rubens  Ii:irl  a  Latin  motto,  ftiu 
n'H't'.iijiit:  inrHbtin'Ju.iintl  Fromentin  s'.ippo^es  this 
motto  to  have  meant,  iu  the  case  of  ih--  great 
Flemisli  artist,  that  he  rellected  b-^fore  setting 
to  work,  and  that  the  mental  Libor  of  compos- 
tion  was  completed  already  when  the  labor  of 
the  hand  began.  He  improvised  in  tlie  sense 
that  he  worked  rapidly  aud  corrected  little,  but 
the  improvisation  of  the  band  had  been  pivceded 
by  an  intellectual  improvisation  which  prepared 
and  arriuged  all  the  materials  of  the  picture. 
He  was  perfectly  coul  a'.id  yet  ardent  at  the  same 
time  :  thought  and  action  so  closely  counoeted 
in  his  way  of  living  that  he  was  thinker  antl 

actor  iu  one  person.  A  mighty  workman,  la- 
boring prodigiously,  and  yet  always  so  cxjm- 
pletoly  above  his  work  that  it  nt-ver  fatigued 
him.  never  threw  him  back  into  the  mehnudioly 
reactions  of  weaker  spirits,  and.  what  is  still 
more  wonderful,  never  induced  him  to  strain 
his  faculties  in  attt-mptiug  wiiat  lay  beyond  his" 
natural  rauge.  He  lefi  behind  him  1,.~)00  pic- 
tures, aud  Fromentin  considers  this  the  most 
imuiense  prodtictiveness  of  which  one  Iiuman 
brain  has  ever  given  an  example.  I  am  not 
sure  that  the  production  of  Turner  ..lay  not 
have  l>een  greater,  all  th  ings  considered.  Rubens 
died  earlier  than  Turner,  (at  Cui.}  but  he  had 
the  help  of  a  staff  of  pupils  and  assUtauts.  while 
Turner  v^'orked  in  suHtude.  What  Rul>ens  could

to  have  occupie<l  him  no  more  than  a  single

James  Scarlett,  Lord  Abtxoer. — It  was 

jokingly  said,  with  a  certain  touch  of  sarca'^lic 
truth,  that  when  Lord  Abiuger  was  .ludge,  the 
jury  consisted  of  13 ;  and  we  remember  the  re- 
mark, that  when  as  Lord  Chief  Baron  he  first 
sat  at  Liverpool,  and  tried  caiises  at  the  Assises, 
he  lost  several  verdicts.  He  showed  too  plainly 
which  side  he  wished  to  win ;  but  this  was 
solely  and  simply  becAuse  be  believed  that  side

pool, however,  were  uot  to  be  induced  by  the 
Tuellifiuous  eloquence  of  the  Judge  to  sutTender 
their  own  convictions,  and  they  sometliues  gave 
their  verdict  against  tbe  view  of  the  facts 
which  he  had  not  obscurely  sho^vu  that  he 
entertained.  Certainly  a  more  persuasive  rea- 
ftoner  has  seldom  if  ever  existed.  As  an  advo-

EuRKE  AS  A  Speaker.— Lord  Abinger  en- 
tirely confirms  the  general  impression  that 
Burke  was  not  a  .successful  speaker.  He  says 
his  manner  and  action  were  sulliccntly  grace'- 
ful.  but  his  style  was  too  didactic^  aud  his  topics 
were  too  general  to  affect  the.pissions,  or  to  ex- 
cite a  continued  interest >n  the  audience.  The 
fact  is,  that  Burke  was  rather  a  lecturisr  than 
au  orator.  He  sounded  depths  which  his  audi- 
ence   could   not   fathom,  'and    scaled  heizhts 


whieh  l^ey  could  not  reach.  It  z«q[iiired  time- 
and  thought  and  meditation  to  take  iuthe 
whole  force  and  scope  of  his  argument,  and  feel 
the  full  beauty  of  his  imagery.  They  were 
speeches  to  read  rather  than  to  hear.  Hence, 
strange  as  it  may  seem  to  u.%  Burke,  whose 
orations  we  study  and  admire  as  rich  treasures 
of  eloquence,  was  known  as  the  dinner-bell  of 
the  House  of  Commons.  Such  is  the  difference 
between  contemporary  opinion  and  the  verdict

George  Whitefield's  Scccess. — It  be-y 
comes  us  to  inquire  what  was  the  secret  of 
Whitefield's  success  ?  A  question  this  wmch 
has  often  been  asked  concerning  him  as  well  as 
other  great  spiritual  leaders,  and  to  which  in 
our  view  but  one  reply  can  be  given.  We  shall 
hardly  expect  to  find  any  very  profound  solu- 
tion of  it  from  the  lips  of  those  of  his  contem- 
poraries who  regarded  the  "whole  business  as 
moon-struck  madness.  Their  views  are  sufficient- 
ly illustrated  in  Mr.  Tyerman's  pages  from 
the  four  sermoiLs  against  the  Methodists 
preached  by  Dr.  Trapp  down  to  the  infamous 
dramas  of  a  later  date.  Nor  can  we  be  satisfied 
with  the  dictum  of  Dr.  Johnson,  who  attributes 
everything  to  "the  peculiarity  of  his  manner," 
and  adds  that  *'  he  would  be  followed  by  crowds 
were  he  to  wear  a  night-cap  in  the  pulpit,  or 
were  he  to  preachfromatree."  Allowance  must 
be  made  for  the  novelty  of  the  doctrine,  and  of 
the  methods  employed  to  diffuse  it  Sympathy 
with  an  injured  man  may  account  in 
part  for  the  flocking  of  the  multitudes 
together.  But  these  were  only  acci- 
d(!ntaj  and  subsidiary  infiuences.  They 
may  have  contributed  to  the  kindling  of  the 
spark,  but  they  eoul  1  not  for  so  many  years 
have  kept  the  tlame  alive.  For  that  fuel  was 
wanted,  not  tinder.  The  popularity  that  burst 
uijon  Whitefield  in  the  very  prime  of  his  youth 
never  failed,  even  to  the  day  Ms  friend  Westley 
described  him — although  then  in  years  scarcely 
pant  middle  life — as  " an  old.  old  man;  fairiy 
worn  out  in  his  Master's  service."  It  was  not 
confined  to  one  class  of  the  people.  In  his 
audiences  generally  the  lower  orders  would  al- 
ways perhaps  preponderate,  just  as  they  pre- 
ponderate in  the  composition  of  societv.  But 
every  order  was  fully  represented,  fiven  at 
this  early  period  of  his  labors,  and  despite  the 
disadvantage  of  an  al  fre^  gathering,  if  we 
may  trust  Dr.  Byrom,  of  Manchester,  who  met 
Whitefield  in  London  in  the  month  of 
June.  "  he  had  lords,  dukes,  &c..  to  hear 
him  at  Blackheath,  who  gave  guineas  and  half- 
guinexsfor  his  Orphan-house."  Yet  AVhitefield 
did  not  flatter,  but  reulidly  rebuked  their  vices.: 
In  later  years  he  maintained  tbe  prestige  thus 
v.<m,  and  had  access  to  the  nobiUty  to  a  surpris- 
ing extent,  while  his  noble  companion  in  arms 
was  neglected.  Kor  was  his  popuhuity  cx>nfined  to 
this  country.  In  Arnerica  he  was  everywhere 
received  as  an  angel  of  God,  although  encoun- 
tering opposition  of  a  similar  kind  to  that  which 
beset  him  at  home.  And  in  Scotland,  where 
A\\!sley  utterly  failed  to  make  an  impression. 
Whitefield  found  no  difficulty.  He  seemed  to 
possess  a  key  that  unlocked  every  heart.  It  is 
adinitted  on  all  hands  that  there  is  nothing  in 
the  specimens  of  his  preaching  which  have  sur- 
vived to  account  for  the  phenomena  of  the  case. 
Omitting  all  reference  to  unauthorized  reports, 
or  rather  travesties,  of  sermons  which  ap^ared 
after  his  death  :  and  confining  our  attention  to 
those  published  with  his  own  sanction 
and  revised  by  his  own  hand.  we 
niu-it  agree  witb  the  opinion  pretty  gene- 
rally passt^l  on  them  by  critics,  and  indorsed  by 
the  oblivion  into  which  they  have  sunk,  that 
they  add  nothing  to  the  reputation  of  their  au- 
th  ."r  It  lias  been  said  that  Whitefield  would 
have  consulte<l  best  for  his  own  fame  if  he  had 
never  pt-rniitted  them  to  see  the  light.  Possi- 
bly so.  hut  in  that  case  his  fame  would  have 
been  I'xaggerated  beyond  the  bounds  of  truth ;  a 
niajesti'-  intellect  would  have  been  invented  for 
him,  which  he  nowhere  by  any  chance  betrays, 
aud  the  glor%-  of  his  inofal  eamestne^^s  would 
have  been  proportionately  diminished. — The

would  demand  much  grcfiter  caution  in  making

which  most  of  these  colonists  have  had 
to  undergo  have  certainly  been  of  the 
most  distrtv-sing  kind.  Xot  only  has  it  been 
found  that  the  Teutonic  element  would  not  fuse 
witli  the  Spanish  and  Indian,  that  there  were 
rt'ligious  and  social  differences  preveuting  any- 
thing like  free  intercourse,  but  the  mere  possi- 
ltiliTie<  of  existence  have  often  been  absent.

nut  sup^xirt  spontaneously  crowds  of  people 
thrown  at  haphazaVd  on  particular  spots.  Emi= 
grants  from  Europe  have,  therefore,  often 
starved,  nirely  prospered,  and  usually  were 
nmoh  more  of  a  burden  on  the  State'  than  a 
bcnetit  to  it.  They  were  sent  out  by  enterpris- 
ing emigration  ag»"nts  for  tbe  sake  oi  the  com- 
mission earned,  and  whether  they  starved  or 
lived  was  matter  of  Indifference  to  them. — Fra-

Ttie  Cotton-Gin — Th*^  cotton-gin  wa.s  in- 
vented in  1793.  The  cultur^of  cotton  was  be- 
gun in  the  Southern  Colonies  in  1770.  It  was 
an  experiment  for  which  the  older  nations  of 
the  world  were  not  prepared,  and  was  suited 
only  to  a  bold  and  adventurous  people.  In  1784, 
the  year  after  the  close  of -tbe  Revolutionary 
War,  a  Vvi-ssel  from  this  country,  that  had 
carrietl  tp  -Liverpool  eight  bales  of  cotton,  was 
sfixed  iu  that  port  upon  the  specious  charge  of 
illicit  ti*a<le.  grounded  on  the  presumption  that 
s<j  large  a  quantity  of  cotton  -could  nfit  possibly 
have  been  the  production  of  the  Cnited  States. 
Eleven  years  later  than  this,  in  17i>5,  when 
the  commercml  treaty  which  bears  the  name 
of  Mr.  Jay  was  negotiated  between  tlie  United 
States  and  Great  Britain,  one  article  of  the 
tr^-aty,  as  it  originally  stood,  prohibited  the 
exportation  from  this  country,  in  American 
vessels,  of  such  articles  as  Great  Britain  had 
previously  imported  from  the  West  Indies.

Eggs  from  France. — In  1875,  the  latest 
year  for  which  the  English  Board  of  Tr«de  re- 
turns have  been  completed,  no  less  than  741.- 
000,000  of  eggs  were  brought  into  this  coun- 
try j/ind  the  returns  of  the  immediately  prs- 
g  years  show  that  this  importation  has 
makii^  gigantic  strides..  Most  of  these 
eggs  come  to  use  from  France,  and  when  vo 
consider  that  the  French  themselves  are  large 
consumers  of  both  eggs  and  poultry,  it 
may  well  be  imagined  to  what  aa 
enormous  extent  our  friends  across  the 
Channel  develop  thLs  branch  of  trade 
or  commerce.  The  advantage  which  our 
Continental  neighbors  derive  from  it  is  obvious 
when  we  consider  that  not  only  ejnrs  but  fo^ls 
are  largely  sent  over  to  us.  and  that  about

^reat  Britain  for  these  two  staple  articles  ol 
consumption.  Farmers  and  poultry -keepers 
should  lay  this  well  to  heart,  and  endeavor,  by 
some  means  so  to  increase  tlie  production  of 
poultrv  and  eggs  as  not  only  to  secure  tbe  reteu-

still  more  surprised  to  be  made  acquainted  with 
the  fact,  of  which  he  was  till  then  wholly  un-

ex[M>rte.d  from  the  United  States  was  but  18!),- 
'.iH*  pounds,  -The  next  year,  that  preceding  the 
invention  of  the  cotton-gin,  the  amount  es- 
jiortvd  was  diminished  ,^(»,000  pounds.  There 
was.  iu  fact,  fiom  the  incipiency  of  the  culture 
to  the  iK'riod  of  this  iuveution.  no  imlication  of 
any  tendency  to  an  iiicrea.sc  of  the  production. 
The  chief  diificulty  in  the  prosecution  of  the  en- 
terprise hail  been  found  to  be  the  extremely 
slow  aud  labijrious process  of  cleaning  the  green- 
seed  cotton,  or  separating  it  from  the  seed ;  and 
so  serious  had  this  embarrassment  come 
to  bt  regariled  that  the  cultivators  were 
generally  inclined  to  j*ield  to  it  as  an 
insuperable  objection  to  what  had  been 
the  gi'and  design  of  the  -Undertaking,  namely, 
the  raisiug  of  cotton  for  the  Europeau  market. 
Tlie  green-seed  cotton  is  that  which  is  coramon- 
ly  known  as  the  HiAand,  or  hotrtd  Gt»orgia  cot- 
ton, by  which  uame  it  is  distinguished  from 
that  produced  in  the  islands  and  low  districts 
near  the  shore,  called  sva-island,  or  black-seed 
cotton.  The  latter  is  the  finest  kind,  and  de- 
rives its  name  from  the  circumstance  of  its  hav- 
ing been  first  cultivated  in  this  country  in  the 
low  sandy  islands  on  the  coa.st  of  South  Caro- 
lina. It  will  uot  flourish  at  a  distance  from  the 
sea.  and  its  quality  gradually  deteriorates  as  it 
is  removed  from  ''the  salutary  action  of  the 
oceans  spray."  It  has  a  longer  fibre  than  other 
cottons,  and  is  of  a  peculiarly  even  and  silky 
texture,  which  qualities  give  it  its  superior  mar- 
ket value.  The  expression  "bowed,'  which  is 
applied  to  the  upland  cotton,  is  descriptive  of 
the  means  that  were  employed  for  cleaning  it,  or 
loosening  the  filament  from  the  seed,  previous 
to  the  invention  of  the  cotton-gin.  The  process 
was  similar  to  that  employed  by  hatters  for 
Ijeating  up  wool  to  the  proper  consistency  for 
felting,  tetrings,  attached  to  a  bow,  were 
brought  in  contact  with  a  heap  of  uncleaned 
cotton,  and  struck  so  as  to  cause  violent  vibra- 
tions, aud  thus  to  open  the  locks  of  cotton  and 
permit  the  easy  separation  of  the  seed  from  ttie 
fibre.  The  cleaning  was  likewise  done  wholly 
by  baud,  the  work  of  the  bow-strings  being 
scarcely  more  efficient  than  that  accompU.shed 
by  the  fingei's  of  the  slaves.  In  either  case  the 
process  Was  discouragingly  tedious  and  slow. 
Wliitney's  cottou-gin  overcame  all  this  iifficulty, 
and  f  iu*nished  the  means  of  separating. the  seed 
and  cleaning  the  cotton  with  such  economy  of 
labor  and  time  as  at  once  to  give  a  spring  to  the 
agricultural  industry  of  the  South,  and  an  im-

A  new  anthopbyllite  from  Bamle,  N'orway. 
has  h^n  analyzed  by  M.  I>^  Cloizeaux.  luid  has  been 
found  to  be  composed  of  sUiea.  ferruos-ozide.  and 
magnesia.  It  is  similar,  therefore,  to  the  ampbib- 
olir;  group,  but  affords  a  mnrkt^  distinction  in  the  ; 
rhomboidal  form  of  its  crystals. 

M.  Amagat  ha#t  found  that  such  substances 
fts  sulphur,  chlorine,  and  brnniiiie  in  liquids  dimin- 
ish the  compressibility  of  the  liquids  :  and  he  lava 
down  the  general  law  that  the  ct^EcieUt  of  com- 
pressibility increases  when  the  pressure  incressea 
for  all  liquids  in  wi'icii  an  elevation  of  temperatiuo  " 
augments  the  pressui-e.

From  sn  examination  |of  the  influences  of  the 
excitations  of  the  organs  of  sense  upon  tbt?  heart, 
MM.  Cout>-  and  Charpe:iiier  have  beeu  led  to  believe 
that  somethine  else  is  UL-cessary  to  a^-couni  for  sach 
phenomena  besides  sensorial  iK*rception.  and  they 
suggest  an  ulterior  cerebral  work,  to  which  they  give  \

A  metallic  thermometer  has  been  constructed 
by  M.  Tresneschini.  of  Paris,  aud  it  is  so  very  sensi- 
tive that  the  action  of  the  needle-^,  instantaneous. 
It  consists  essentially  of  the  ti<ie  of  the  expansive 
properties  of  a  small  leaf  of  jdatiuized  bilvlpr.  The 
motion  of  the  expansions  and  contractions  Is  com- 
municated through  a  delit-ate  system  of  levers  to  the 
needle,  which  indi'^ates  the  movements  in  an  en- 
larged form  on  a  gr:iduated  scale.

The  following  notable  facts  regarding  tii© 
distribution  of  oxycen  in  the  ocean  have  been  re-

of  the  ocean  floor  hxs  also  an  influence  on  the  amount 
of  oxygen  contained  in  the  super: mpo*:od  -water. 
Oxj-een  also  is  found  to  decrease  in  qnantity  nretty 
regularly  down  to  a  depth  nf  about  300  fathoms,  and 
then  steadily  to  increase.  The  inferenc  t?  that  ani-

Prof.  Kern,  of  St.  Petersbuiiff,  writes  to  the 
Chenrieal  Xews  that  a  new  theorj-  has  been  advanced 
by  Dr.  Mendeleeff  recarding  the  forraation  of  naph- 
tha in  nature.  A  c^^at  deal  of  mineral  oil  is  foond 
in  sandstones,  although  there  are  no  organic  deposits 
or  sand.  coal,  or  lignite  :  and  he  rejectsthe  h>-pothe«i» 
that  the  production  of  naphtha  is  dae  to  the  destruc- 
tion of  organic  matter.  He  thinks  it  more  reasona- 
ble to  suppose  that  as  there  are  latge  quantities  of 
metallic  carburets  in  the  interior  of  the  earth,  these 
carburets,  under  the  combtiisyl  action  of  moisture, 
high  pressure,  and  heat,  would  give  metallic  oxide« 
and  primary  hydrocarbons,  and  the  latter  whm 
volatilized  would  ri*e  and  be  condensed  m  thesu- 
perincombent  sandstone  beds,  which  are  sufficieody

BT  BICEABD  GBUUTI  WHITK. 


i  have  much  to  say  about  the  thing  called 
£ngU8h  grammar,  and  after  that  is  said,  I  shall 
pass  on  to  the  consideration  of  many  points  of 
erery-day  English  speech,  indiiding  slang,  com- 
mercial cant,  poUUeal  cantj  and  kindred  sub- 
jects, as  to  which  any  suggestions  or  queries 
■will  bo  welcome,  much  more  so  than^the  never- 
ending  requests  to  ' '  decide  a  dispu^  "  whether 
this  or  that  is  "  good  grammar,''  or  to  teU  what 
is  the  '•authority  "for  this  or  that  pronuncia- 
tion. But  I  step  afiide^  from  my  regnlar  coarse 
to-day  to  consider,  for  my  reader'*3ak«s,  not  my 
own,  some  remarks  that  have  beeti  made  upon 
the  two  articles  upon  American  speech.  And 
here,  by  the  way,  in  the  words  of 
*at  grammarian  in  morals,  Mr.  Pecksniff, 
*'  an  eligible  opportunity  .  offers  **  for  the  news- 
paper criticaster  of  the  period,  whose  field  is  the 
world,  to  show  his  competence  and  my  incompe- 
tence in  English,  by  pointing  out  that  in  the  last 
sentence  I  have  said,  **  for  my  readers'  sakes. 
not  my  own  [sakes.]"  I  leave  the  sentence  as  it 
stands,  partly  not  to  deprive  him  of  his  little 
pleasure,  but  chiefly  because  it  gives  me  the  op- 
portunity of  saying  that  although  the  phrase  is 
quite  right  as  it  stands,  many  good  writers  pre- 
fer the  form  "for  the  sake  of  my  readers,  not 
my  own."  I  naturally,  however,  and  uncon- 
sciously used  the  first,  from  an  instinctive  pref- 
erence of  the  English  possessive  in  a  over  that 
formed  by  of,  which  is  not  so  truly  English.  It 
would  have  been  right  enough  to  say,  "  for  my 
readers'  take,  not  my  own ;"  the  use  of  such  a 
word  as  sake  In  the  singular  or  in  the  plural 
being  a  matter  of  taste,  to  be  decided 
by  personal  preference,  and  by  the  impression 
desired  to  be  conveyed.  And  this,  by  the  way, 
is  true  in  regard  to  a  great  many  points,  as  to 
the  "correctness"  of  which  one  way  or  the 
other  I  am  sorry  to  find  that  not  a  few  people 
fall  into  vain  disputation.  The  use  of  language. 
— of  the  English  languagta — so  lon^  as  words 
have  their  right  meaning,  and  thoughts  their 
logical  connection,  is  in  a  great  measure  a  mat- 
ter of  taste.  It  is  an  art  belonging  to  the  do- 
main of  fiesthetios,  and  is  in  no  sense  a  science. 
ai  some  people  seem  to  think  it.  In  this,  as  in 
iiU  arts,  success  is  justilicatiou-  If  you  produce 
the  intended  impression,  it  makes  no  matter 
upon  what  ■•  rule"  you  trample.  Eminent  e.x- 
amples  in  point  are  Shakespeare,  Carlyle,  and 
BrowTiing:  although  the  latter  has  been  led  by 
his  early  success  in  free  writing,  as  to  both  con- 
struction and  system,  into  deplorable  vagaries, 
which  deform  his  later  poems. 

As  to  pronunciation  according  to  spellinsr,  a 
discreet  and  courteous  critic  in  the  Evening  Poxt 
suggests  that  Delhi  (which,  as  I  have  passed 
some  happy  days  there,  and  have  sent  thither 
some  friendly  letters,  I  knew  well  was  In  Dela- 
ware County,  not  in  Allegany,  as  I  erroneously 
wrote.)  may  be  properly  callea  Dell-high  instead 
.  of  DaUy.  and  Cairo,  in  Dlinois.  Cay-ro  instead  of 
•  Cah-^-ro,  on  the  ground  that  people  may  •'  nro- 
nounce  the  name  of  their  town  in  a  way  of  their 
own."  True  enough.  And  if  the  people  who 
live  at  the  place  in  Illinois  absurdly  named 
Cairo  choose  to  call  it  Cay-eye-ro.  (which  I 
wonder  much  they  have  not  done.)  they  have  a 
perfect  right  to  do  so.  Indeed,  if  they  choose 
to  xrrite  it  Cairo  and  pronounce  it  Kamtschatka. 
I  know  no  court  which  hag  the  power  to  issue 
an  order  to  show  cause  why  it  should  be  pro- 
nounced in  that  way,  or  in  any  other.  But  if 
there  is  reason  in  the  roasting  of  eggs,  and  there 
Is,  or  there  should  be,  there  may  also  be 
a  little  in  the  pronunciation  even  of  proper 
names,  those  "chartered  libertines"  of  lan- 
guage. My  point  is  this,  that  certain  people 
have  absurdly  chosen  to  give  to  a  little  rural 
town  in  New- York  the  name  of  a  great  city  in 
Hindostan — Delhi,  and  certain  others  to  |^&w, 
nondescript  place  in  Illinois  the  name^f  an 
ancient  city  in  Egypt,  Cairo  ;  and  yet  that  ihei; 
don't  give  them  those  juzmes.  For  the  names  are 
the  words,  the  sounds,  not  the  combinations  of 
black  signs  on  paper.  Kow  Dell-high  or 
High^leU  .would  be  as  fitting  and  admir- 
able a  name  for  one  of  these  places  as 
Delhi  is  tmfitting  and  ridiculous,  (and  I  happen 
to  know  just  how  it  came  to  be  so  called.)  But 
to  mean  to  give  it  the  latter  name,  and  yet.  be- 
cause of  the  way  in  which  the  name  is  spelled. 
to  give  it  th^  former,  is  surely  a  reduplication  of 
absurdity.     And  so  as  to  Cairo. 

[Oddly  and  aptly,  while  I  am  writing  a  letter 
comes  to  me  from  Delhi,  which  illustrates  and 
establishes  what  I  have  ju.st  said.  The  writer, 
a  resident  there,  after  taking  a  cut  at  my  hetero- 
phemic  blunder  as  to  the  county,  wind- 
ing up  with  the  very  appropriate  morel  reflec- 
tion, •'  "Well,  there  are  some  people  who  never 
tan  learn,"  says  :  "•  I  fear  the  crass  indiffer- 
ence to  pronunciation  which  exists  in  Dell-high 
will  never  be  cured.  I  said  Delli/  and  Daily  for 
years,  but  to  no  effect.  I  had  your  amendment 
printed  in  the  Exprea»,  however  " — the  county 
paper.] 

The  same  writer  objects  to  my  cen.sure  of  Amer- 
icans' speech  because  in  speakingthey  pay  "  too 
much  attention  to  the  utterance  of  consonant 
sounds."  He  says  that  "  the  chief  difference 
between  slovenly,  indistinct  enunciation  and 
clear,  distinct  enunciation  is  mainly  a  differ- 
ence in  the  attention  given  to  consonants." 
This,  again,  is  quite  true,  as  any  intelligent 
person  will  see  upon  a  moment's  reflection.  For 
it  is  chiefly  by  consonants  that  words  have  form, 
and  that  speech  becomes-  clear  and  intelligible. 
But  the  terms  used  by  this  critic  are  not  con- 
vertible. The  "  attention  given  to  consonants'' 
is  one  thing,  the  "utterance  of  coBSomint 
sounds"  quite  another.  Strictly  speaking,  a 
pure  consonant  cannot  be  "uttered."  The 
function  of  the  consonant  is  to  check  the  utter- 
ance, or  the  giving  out,  of  the  voice.  It  is  by 
their  interruption  of  the  vowel  sounds,  in  which 
only  the  voice  is  given  out,  that  consonants 
break  up  words  into  syllables,  and  produce  ar- 
ticulate, that  is  jointed,  speech.  Without  con- 
sonants, language  would  be  as  formless  as  the 
bellowing  of  bulls.  The  articulation  of  words, 
of  English  words  at  least,  should  be  clear,  almost 
^hat  we  call  sharp.  This  gives  speech  crispness, 
a  quality  much  more  apparent  in  British  speak- 
ing of  English  than  in  "  American. "  "  Ameri- 
cana "  are  noted  for  slovenliness  in  this  respect. 
The  great  English  phonologist,  Mr.  Alexander 
Kills,  remarked  upon  this  to  me.  He  said,  for 
example,  that  very  few  Americans  pronounced 
the  r  in  the  middle  of  words,  but  said  ve--y  for 
very  and  Ame-iea  for  America.  'RTiether  this 
ta  as  generally  true  as  he  implied,  I  shall  not 
undertake  to  say ;  bnt  Mr.  Ellis  has  a  delicate 
ear  and  Is  a  very  careful  observer.  Defective 
■a  "  American  "  speech  may  be  in  this  respect, 
however,  It  errs  greatly,  on  the  other  band,  in 
the  dweljbig  upon  certain  consonants  in  certain 
other  positions;  in  the  attempt  to  "utter" 
them,  to  make  much  of  them,  more  than  the 
mer^  dear  division  of  syllables ;  for  example, 
in  the  prolongation  of  nf?  in  words  like  "  sing,'' 
and  in  aaytpg  of-ten  instead  of  ofn  or  oftn.  It 
is  to  this  fanlt  that  I  meant  to  direct  attention. 
Iflwas  In  error,  and  "Americans"  have  not 
this  faQlt,  and  do  not  speak  as  if  they  had  the 
speDing-book  In  mind,  so  much  the  better.  I 
at  laast,  am  pleased,  although  my  counsels  and 
my  eritieiams  are  scattered  to  the  winds. 

It  is,  however,  chiefly  what  I  have  said  about 
the  spceeh  of  "  American "  women  that  has 
elleiled  comment,  and  on  the  part  of  some  at 
least  of  my  fair  readers  provoked  such  wrath 
that  it  bringi  to  mind  Virgil's  slyly  gallant  es- 
damattoii  Imown  to  sehool'boys,  "  iantan*  a*i-

TTord  of  it,  bnt  I  will  notice  one  great  n  Isappre- 
hensioo  of  it.  Whaj  I  said  had  no  t  iference 
whatever  to  the  correct  English,  the  «o<  ial  poid- 
tion,  or  the  "  culture  ['  (I  am  somewhai  sick  of 
the  word,  and  of  whU  it  often  meaus,  of  the 
subjects  of  my  remarlfs.  It  is  not  at  al  a  ques- 
tion of  gentility.  I  said  that  I  heard  Ihis  un- 
pleasant sort  of  speech  every  '  lay.  I 
meant  that  I  heard  it  in  ths  cars, 
in  the  street,  and  iiJ  public  places  ge  aerally. 
My  daily  intercourse  with  ladies  is  alm<  st  con- 
fined to  the  members  of  two  familiei  whose 
speech  is  altogether  without  this  taint.  But  I 
have  in  mind  four  women,  ladies  of  t  ae  first 
social  position,  members  of  families  whi  ih  have 
for  generations  beeni  cultivated  socia  ly  and 
intellectually,  whose 'speech  is  signally,  indeed 
excruciatingly,  had  in  this  respect ;  an  I  I  am 
80.rry  to  say  that  in  th^s  they  are  represi  ntative 
women ;  although,  as  I  said  before,  th  ;re  are 
many  American  women  whose  voic  iS  and 
speech  are  beautiful.  Xow,  an  Englishw(  man  of 
the  lowest  position  in  life,  a  hotise-maid  a  bar- 
maid, a  Sairey  GJamp,  is  almost  sure  to  sp  ak  in  a 
clear,  soft,  sweet  voice,  and  with  eve  i  tones. 
Mrs.  TroUope  in  her  fienna  and  iht  A  istrians 
has  a  passage  in  which  she  remarks  ipon  a 
faulty  utterance  among  the  Anstrians,  which 
I  quote  becau.se  of  its  i>earmg  in  this  and  in 
other  respects  upon  our  subject,  ^  Triting 
of  Prince  Jlettemich.  the  great  Prince, 
she  says:  "His  voice  is  low,  and  sweet, 
qualities  particularly  felt  in  a  A'ienna  d  awing- 
room.  where  the  echoes,  it  must  be  coi  fessed, 
are  not  seldom  awakened  by  tones  mo  -e  loud 
and  harsh  than  could  be  met  elsewhei ).  His 
enunciation  is  extremtely  distinct,  with  an  em- 
phasis so  light  that  he  never  appears  U  talk  in 
italics  ;  and  yet  no  strehgth  is  lost  by  tl  e  want 
of  it."  Mrs.  TroUope  here  by  impUcat  on  de- 
scribes a  perfect  speech :  low,  sweet,  strong, 
clear  in  enuncia^on,  and  yet  with  lig  it  em- 
phasis." I  met  with  this  passage  only  t\  o  days 
ago.  and  found  in  it  the  very  phrase.  *'  talk  in 
italics,"  which  some  time  ago  I  had  ap]  ilied  to 
the  speech  of  most  American  women ;  or  a  great 
cause  of  the  harshness  of  whose  speech  :  a  their 
attempt  to  make  almost  every  word  em  phatic. 
It  is  worthy  of  notice  that  Mrs.  Troll  ape  re- 
marks els*vfher«  upon  "  the  extreme  (  ryness 
of  the  atmosphere  '  in  Vienna,  upon 
its  alternations  of  very  great  coH  and 
very  great  heat ;  and  also  that  "  the 
ordinary  beverajje  both  for  mtUes  and  1  [>males 
is  water,  and  that  is  taken  by  both  so  copiously 
as  to  be  a  matter  of  constant  astonishnjent  to 
us."  The  same  remark  as  to  watcr-drinKing  by 
Americans  has  l)een  frequently  made  bfr  Eng-

1  must  be  allowed  to  express  my  surpri^^e  that 
a  gentleman  who  can  write  a  letter  expre^ed  as 
this  is  could  ask  such  a  question.  For  as  to 
"pumpkins'  seeds,  cucumbers'  vines,  andmioons 
bowls,"  let  those  who  use  such  words  proclbunce 
them  as  they  like,  it  makes  no  matter.  They' 
are  not  English.  The  ideas  which  they  ire  in- 
tended to  convey  are  expressed  in  Eng!  ish  by 
"  pumpkin-seeds,"  "  cucumber  vines,''  "  spoon 
bowls."  As  to  "bells  "  in  MLss  Procter  s  line, 
it  is  pronounced  simply  as  if  it  were  ^  -ritten 
bells.  How  else  could  it  be  pronou  need  J 
Surely  th^  discussion  mentioned  could  aot  be 
whether  it  is  pronounced  bells-ts  !  Po  isibly, 
(apd  this  is  one  reason  for  my  noticing  he  let 
ter  here,)  it  may  be  supposed  that  this  d  cision

The  Italie.  of  Rome,  speaks  in  the  foil  )wiug 
terms  of  the  letter  lately  addressed  by  the  Coi  Jil  de 
Chambord  to  the  Pope :  '•  Su  much  has  been  s  ij^  i 
cently  of  tho  procoediijcs  of  the  different  I  rericli 
Catholic  parties  with  lihe  Holy  See,  that  wb  have 
thought  it  necessary  to  obtain  some  exact  inionna- 
tion  on  the  subject.  Cardinal  Guibert  and  thel  Papal 
Nnndo  in  Paris  had,  after  tho  10th  May,  ad^'  waited 
and  brought  about  the"'tnumph  of  a  policy  fa^  orable 
to  ilarahal  de  MacMabou.  Serioiw  negotiatioi  s  took 
place,  and  it  was  agreed!  that  all  the  Catholics  ibould 
endeavor  to  obtain  the  election  of  Co3  serva- 
tive  Deputies  without  regard  to  the  pa  ty  to 
which  they  might  belong.  Instructions  In  that 
sense  were  to  be  subsequently  coram uni cat ed  to  all 
the  Bishops  and  to  the  <*leri:y.  Tlie  Le^imi)  ts  did 
nut  look  favorably  on  the  doings  of  the  Arch  )lshop 
of  Paris,  who  appeared  to  Iw  more  devoted  o  the 
Marshal  than  to  the  party,  and  complained  o  the 
Papal  Kunrio.  M|^.  Meglw.  The  latter,  between 
whom  and  Mgr.  Goibert  there  is  no  jereat  sym  ;jatby, 
sided  with  the  malcontwats.  To  prevent  the  d  rision 
asduming  any  great  proportions,  the  Cardinal  Arch- 
bishop left  immediately  for  lU>me.  where  he  ippre- 
hended  that  Baron  Baude'mlght  turn  the  S(  ale  in 
favor  of   the  LegitiraistA.    That  step  irritati  d  the 

£  artisans  of  Henry  V.  Evidenily.  the  Cardin  d  was 
kboring  for  the  Government  of  3Iarafaal  d»  Mac- 
Mahon — ^therefore,  the  Cabinet,  to  leave  him  ;  k  clear 
field,  summoned  the  French  Ambassador  to  th<  Holy 
.See  hack  to  Paris.  Cardinal  Guibert  was  sncc  ^asful, 
and,  in  consequence  of  his  solicitations,  the  "V  atican 
consented  to  invite  the  clergy  to  support,  tl  e  can- 
didates of  the  Govemmuut  on  condition  that  t  le  lat- 
ter should  follow  a  line  of  conduct  fuvorablo  to  the 
interests  of  the  Holy  See.  The  Legitimists  ai  d~the 
Bonapartists  suspected  the  results  of  Co  rdinal 
Guibert's   mLssion,    and  appealed    to   the   V  itican 

'  for  direct  support,  bi?t  the  l*ope  held  firn  and,

then  declared  that  they  could  not  lose  tlie  opp(  rtuni-

That  attitude  of  the  Impierialists  alarmed  the  '.  .legiti-

TACTIC  S  IN  THE  HOUSE  OF  OOMMONS. 
j-Voin  Oar  Own  Corre^otuUiU. 

I>CBLiN,  Saturday,  July  28,  1877. 
I  am  Sony,  for  more  reasons  than  one,  Tt 
hare  to  aoDounce  that  yet  another  hat  has  been 
sent  spinnir  5  in  this  impoverished  metropolis. 
The  collect!  )n  for  the  last  contest  in  Tipperary 
has  termiuaSed,  and  the  Butt  testimonial  seems 
tohaVe  coUnpsedfor  the  present;  and  just  as 
we  all! thought  that  the  poshnan  had  ceased  to 
worryi  us  ^rith  epistles  praying  for  pecuniary 
assistance,  a  very  notable  hat  indeed  suddenly 
appeared  on  the  rounds.  No  lesa  a  personai^e 
than  Mr.  latrick  James  Smyth,  member  of 
Parliament  for  Westmeath  County,  has  found 
it  necjessarj  to  supplement  his  resources  and 
assist  his  iua^inatton  by  an  appeal  to  his 
couutrymen,  The  genius  of  honorary  secre- 
taries in  the  matter  of  "reasons  why*'  has  long 
been  prover'>ial ;  but  it  is  only  in  my  own  dear 
country  that  a  testimonial  would  be  started  in 
favor  of  a  nan  who  has  quarreled  with  every 
party  add  w  tb  every  clique,  who  has  defied  all 
authority  ard  all  influence,  who  has  denounced 
every  living  Irishman  of  note,  and  every  liviug 
Englishman  of  eminence,  who  despisesHome  Rule 
and  detests  English  supremacy,  who  fought 
with  Young  Ireland  against  O'Counell,  and  who 
now  flgbts  \itli  O'Conuell's  bones  against  th© 
friend's  ot  federalism.  Mr.  Sm.rth  is  a  very 
clever  mian.  He  has  all  the  instincts  of  a  French 
revolutiil>nist.  That  he  is  a  man  of  sincerity  is 
certain,  jbut  his  sincerity  is  of  that  sort  which 
you  find'  most  often  in  men  of  thin  purpose  and 
moderate  understanding.  Ho  siuoei'ely  believes 
in  himself,  and  sincerely  doubts  everybody  else. 
His  action  Is  invariably  colored  with  a  touch  of 
romance,  the  effect  probably  of  a  very  romantic 
career.  If  Mr.  Smyth's  life  bud  closed  success- 
fully, the  whole  story  might  have  been  written 
for  the  entertainment  and  the  instruction  of 
mankind.  As  it  is.  it  is  worth  uutiug  as  show- 
ing how  greUt  abilities  imd  consistent  energy 
may  bring  al  man  to  a  subscriptlou  list,  trven 
though  liis  personal  desires  be  few  and  ines- 
peusive.  Mr.  Smyth  was  one  of  thf*  clever 
youngsters  who  make  Irishmen  of  I84S  re- 
spected among  the  revolationists  of  ihat  revo- 
lutionary year.  -'He  escaped  the  State  trials 
which  consigned  Mitehol  an<l  Jleagher 
and  3Iartin  and  O'Brien  to  banishment  He 
tied  to  America,  and  when  Mitchel  w.'is 
planning  his  escape  from  Van  Dieuien's  I^and, 
tjmyth  vfas  editing  11  uon.^eubical  paper  in  Kica- 
rairlia.  In  thut  wonderful  thesaurus  of  e^oti.-<ni. 
cleverness,  and  donuneiatioii,  JvJui  MitcheVit 
"Jail  Jt^umal"  we  have  whole  chapters  about 
Nicaragua  Smyth — his  coura<re.  his  devotion.  hLs 
extreme  readiness  to  Hounything  and  everything 
tliat  might  stnjure  the  n-deasc  of  bi«  friend- 
Very  vivid,  indeed,  iti  that  sketch  ^in  which 
Mitchel  shows  himself  and  Nicaragua,  fi.'c- 
chambered  revolver  in  hand,  entering  the  office 
of  Mr.  Uunu,  the  local  magistnite,  and.  while 
Smyth  stands  at  the  door,  ready  to  shoot  down 
the  crier  fur  aasi?itauce.  Mitchel  announces  bis 
resolve  to  break  his  parole  and  to  escape  if  he 
can.  Mr.  Uunu  sits  in  consternation,  the  two 
policemen  swing  their  caiblues  iiUy.  and, 
>Xitchel  having  siiid  hl^  ij^y.  walks  out.  He 
and  Nicaragua  m.mnt  twofswift  horses,  which 
stand  ready  at  the  door,  and  the  ridt*  for  life 
liegins.  For  three  days  andknigbts  these  two 
fugitives  wander  and  wiitch.  tiie  <-ountry  mean- 
time being  scoured  fur  th*;  notorious  rebel.  At 
last  they  get  on  board  a  vessel  bound  fur 
friendly  I  ports,  and  the  friendship  of  a  life- 
time is  isealed  by  the  heroism  and  gratitude 
which  the  big  adventura  had  evoked.  Now,  it' 
ilr.  Smyith  ha<i  not  been  a  foolish  lover  of  Ire- 
laud,  and  if  Mr.  Mitchel  iiad  been  content  with 
a  life  of  j  silent  work  evermore.  the;<e  two  men 
might  have  betoken  themselves  to  the  gold  dig- 
irings.  which  in  thesv  years  were  the  re*jrt  of 
the  distressed  and  indebted  of  all  parts  of  the 
world.  Mr.  Symlh  has  since  actually  laid  claim 
to  patriotism  on  the  store  that  instead  of  mind- 
ing his  proper  business  then,  he  devuted  himself 
to  newspapers  in  the  interest  of  bis  oppressed 
nation.  Now.  I  believe  natriotism  is  too  sacred 
fur  scorn  and  is  above  all  ridicule,  but  patriot- 
ism, like  relia^iou  itself,  must  be  practiced  with 
some  deferential  regard  to  what  we  have  agreed 
to  call  common  sense.  anO  when  a  man  spen<ls 
himself  in  talking  sunburstery  and  stuff  to  Irish- 
men in  America,  instead  of  working  for  comfort 
and  ease]  for  his  old  ago  and  his  family's  old  agti, 
I  begin  to  think  the  man  has  mistaken  his  vol-u- 
fion.  MK  Smyth  fell  into  newspaper  ways  and 
waged  the  war  of  Ireland  with  a  gooso-quill  every 
day  for  many  years.  The  result  was  what  one  may 
always  expect  when  a  rostlo>s:inan  fights  battles 
with'  countless  but  unseen  f^fs.  He  lougs  for 
the  real  tleld,  for  close  quartei'x.^r  the  excite- 
ment of  the  old  company,  and  the  sympathy  of 
the  old  audience.  It  is  v^iry  much  more  sutis- 
factorv  to  be  haranguing  the  real  down-trodden 
Irishman  in  his  native  land  than  to  be  whisper- 
ing mighty  but  absurd  schemes  into  the  ears  of 
the  Celts  who  have  t'ouud  plenty  and  independ- 
ence under  the  Stars  and  Stripes. 

ilr.  Smyth  came  home  and  began  the  old  game 
of  talk — a  game  which  has  been  played  ever 
since  the  sorrows  of  Erin  first  tested  the  pity 
and  the  patience  of  mankind.  \Vbile  ho  con- 
tinued his  tale  of  sorrows  the  world  went  oncut- 
ting  bread  and  buKer,  so  to  speak,  and  all  at- 
tempts to  mi?e  the  tlag  were  attended  with  most 
disastrous  failure.  He  did  nut  grow  rich  in  these 
eOorts,  but  he  continued  to  keep  himself,  as  the 
tihnise  goes.  "  before  the  countrj.*'  When  the 
!  Home  Rule  idea  was  formulated,  he  accejj  ted  it 
I  as  the  hope  of  Ireland,  and  having  contested 
I  the  Citv  of  Waterfurd  in  vain,  he  contested  tlie 
County  of  \Vestmeath  with  success.  His  mar- 
riage brought  him  something,  much  more  than 
his  polities  hud  ever  brought  him  ; 
and  f>eing  a  very  inexpensive  man.  he 
continued  poor  and  proud  and  humbly 
independent.  Then  came  the  quarrel 
with  the  Home  Rule  Party ;  then  tho  quarrel 
with  Mr.  Butt ;  then  be  joined  the  party  of  Ego- 
mania, represented  by  Alderman  MacSwiuey 
and  a  certain  professor  of  mathematics  ;  and 
this  coming  into  speedy  eclipse,  he  found  him- 
self perdu.  His  quarrels  were  conducted  with 
a  venom  that  can  only  be-  explained  by  the 
blight  which  has  followed  every  effort  of  his 
life.  The  man  is  by  nature  uncompromising, 
and  it  has  beeu  his  fate  to  be  forced  by  circum- 
stances into  a  series  of  compromises,  tlie  more 
abrupt  as  they  advanced.  First  he  declared  for 
Young  Ireland  and  the  sword  ;  then  be  declared 
for  moral  force  and  the  platform ;  then  ho 
talked  treason  and  toleration  bv  turns  ;  then  ho 
settled  down  to  Mr.  Butt  and  rfome  Rule  ;  then 
he  set  up  the  standard  of  Smyth  and  repeal ; 
now  he  is  the  solitary  representative  of    his 

f  resent  faith  and  the  subject  of  a  testimonial, 
bavo  seen  a  list  of  subscribers  who  have 
"sympathized"  to  the  tune  of  £350,  which 
now  represents  the  sum  of  £14  per  annum.  I 
believis  there  will  be  a  few  hundred  more  ob- 
tained, and  then  "the  small  estate "  said  to  be 
iricurribered  maybe  redeemed  and  the  man  re- 
stored to  his  ongiual  poverty.  Is  it  not  a  sad 
story  i  Here  we  have  aman  of  considerable  powers, 
good  education,  quick  purpose,  and  rapid  de- 
cision— a  sort  of  man  who  would  have  been  a 
good  General  of  a  division;  he  works  every 
day  of  his  life,  and  yet  tinds  himself,  without 
any  extravagance  or  misconduct  of  his  own,  re- 
duced to  the  necessity  of  hat- whirling  in  his  old 
ace.  Like  most  Irishmen,  he  is  a  good  speaker. 
Sir.  Disraeli  haTsing  heard  his  speech  in  opposi- 
tion to  Home  Rule,  exclaimed,  "  Hpre's  Grattan 
again  V^  He  writes  well ;  he  is  a  member  of  the 
Bar,  and  he  has  a  seat  in  Parliament.  But 
what  do  all  these  things  avail  a  man  whose  en- 
ergies have  been  devoted  to  keeping  alive  fool- 
ish and  fatal  strifes,  who  has  trifled  with  all 
things,  from  the  sword  of  O'Brien  t»  the  flag  of 
Fenianism,  from  tho  moral  force  of  O'Connell 
to  the  simpering  suavity  of  Butt  1  I  confess  I 
am  sorrv  for  the  man,  and  if  1  heard  that,  in- 
.stead  o^  the  subscription  list,  he  was  about  to 
abjure  nonsense  and  politics  and  betake  him- 
.self  to  the  business  of  tho  par,  I  would  not  de- 
spair that  even  Vet  he  would  gain  a  place  among 
men  worthy  his  better  nature  and  his  powers. 

Very  different  in  character  and  calibre  was  Sir 
Colman  O'Loghlen  who  died  suddenly  on  the 
passage  &om  England  to  Ireland  last  Sunday  ; 
but  in  two  pointa  the  careers  of  the  men  were 
not  unlike.  Sir  Colman  was  the  eldest  son  of 
Sir  Michael  O'Loghlen,  the  first  Catholic  ever 
appointed  ^  *  Judgeship  in  Ireland.  When 
the  Act  of  Emancipation  opened  the  higher 
prizes  of  professional  and  political  life  to  Cath- 
oUcSt  Micha- 1  O'Loghlen  was  created  a  baronet^ 
and  made  Master  of  the  Rolls.  His  9on,  the 
second  baronet,  was  called  to  the  Bar  In  1840. 
He  was  Junior  counsel  for  Smith  O'Brien  In 
184S.  and  ereatly  distingnlabed  hiiasalf  bv  hia

astuteness  and  ready  speech.  He  was  regarded 
as  the  most  t>romi9ing  young  barrister  of  the 
day,  and  busi  less  ponre<l  upon  him  from  all 
quarters.  In  addition  to  the  abilities  with 
which  nature  had  endowed  hlni.  she  had  given 
him  one  of  thi )  swefilest  and  most  generous  tem- 
pers eve^  possessed  by  man.  To  say  that  young 
.O'Loghlen  wi.s  admired  is  to  say  nothing ;  ho 
was  the  Idarlin :;  o^  all  his  acquaintances,  and  the 
hero  of  I  bis  :'riends.  None  the  les.s,  he  soon 
proved  that  he  could  set  aside  prophecy  and  de- 
feat hope.  ;H<  I  entered  upon  the  paternal  e.s- 
tates  with  ev  sry  prospect  of  happiness,  ahd 
in  a  few  years  he  found  himself 
in  the  I  u most  need  and  distress. 
I  cannot  tell  you,  for  nobody  knows,  what  Sir 
Colman  ^vcr  did  with  money.  He  was  tem- 
perate, hd  was  pure,  he  was  modest,  he  was  free 
from  thel  sins  which  co.<rt  money.  He  never 
married,  land  he  lived  for  the  most  part  in 
the  houses  of  friends  who  were  delighted  with 
his  society  and  elevated  by  his  conversation. 
Clever  men  tave  puzrfed  themselves  to  know 
what  Dr.  Joh  ason  did  with  the  orango-peels  ; 
but  that.myistcry  is  not  greater  than  this  touch- 
ing the  sudden  and  constant  evanishment  of  all 
Sir  Colman^s  iraeans.  But  the  most  reihark- 
able  fact  in  connection  with  his  povertj^  is  this, 
the  poorer  he  became  tho  less  Was  he  inclined 
to  work.  .Had  ho  attended  to  his  profession, 
his  learning^  his  abilities,  his  popularity  would 
have  command  ed  a  large  and  constantly-increas- 
ing income.  |  A »  a  matter  of  fact,  he  deliberately 
walked  away  from  his  profession,  and  was  to 
be  seen  dnlv  in  as.si2e  courts  prosertuting  on 
behalf  of  th^  c  rown.  If  ho  netted  ilDOO  a  year 
by  this,  the  jupDOsition  touches  incredulity. 
At  one  tiiue  the  Government  gave  him  a 
county  Judges  lip,  worth  about  £1^000  a  year. 
His  creditors  Itegan  to  clamor  for  this;  they 
begged  of  [him  to  live  on  his  private  resources 
and  , to  allojca^  this  bulk  .sum  to  them.  Sir 
Colman  was  he  very  soul  of  honor,  and  his 
good-nature  w;  is  boundless  ;  but  h»  would  not 
be  pestered  by  brokers,  and  riather  than  suffer 
any  inconvenience  from  their  importunity,  he 
resigned  the  .Fudgeship  altogether.  He  then 
entered  Pariia  raont  for  his  native  county, 
Clare,  the  com:  ty  which  first  sent  O'Connell  to 
the  House.  H  're  he  made  many  friends  and 
admirers  ;  but  he  never  achieved  a  single  tri- 
umph. The  c<  netant  pressure  of  hLs  indebted- 
neBs  seemed  to  kill  the  soul  of  the  man,  and  yet 
he  made  no  eff  >rt  to  rehabilitate  bis  fortunes. 
Mr.  Gladstone  was  especially  attracted  by  his 
ability  .and  his  amiability,  and  when  he  came

The  poh(yr  of  obstruction  in  Parliament  has 
brouglit  Mr.  I  arnell  into  unplea.sant  promi- 
nence, and  was  very  nigh  bringing  him  to  jail. 
Yuu  are  aware  hat  he  had  redu'-ed  the  rules  of 
the  House  lif  Commons  to  a  inilUty  by  an  iii- 
i'enious  metl^ut  of  misconstruction.  Aided  by 
Sir,  O'Cofnuor  !*ower,  Mr.  0'I>onnfcll.  (the  new- 
)v-elocted  nijjmtier  for  Dungarvan.)  and  Mr. 
fiiggar.  iwith  in  occasional  lift  from  Capt. 
Nolan,  Mr.  mr  lell  had  succeeded  in  stopping 
all  legislation  'or  three  weeks.  The  effect  in 
Ireland  lias  lk>e  1  just  what  anybody  might  have 
expecteili  The  English-feeling  minority  is 
angry  and  the  V  ulk  of  the  population  is  delight- 
ed. Here  they  have  at  last  found  the  men  who 
will  make  a  ijev  Thermopylae.  One  of  the  most 
ordinary  I  mo tio as  in  the  House  is  "that  this 
House  do  U(»w  adjourn."  Mr.  Pamell  saw  in 
ihe  wordi"ni»w  "  an  opulent  mine,  hitherto  un- 
worked.  I  He  ijegim  to  move  adjournnient  at 
12:30  aJ  M.,  aid  finding  himself  defeated,  at 
P-ii-iU  ithmediately  moved  the  adjournment 
again — "Inow"  being  10  minutes  later  than 
"then."  By'siKrh  means  the  solitary  represen- 
tative succeedeu  in  arresting  all  business,  and 
the  temper  ul'  the  English  members  was  sorely 
tried,  .^tr.  Buti  vehementlv  opposed  this  "aim- 
less policy,*'  bmt  Mr.  Butt's  influence  has  run 
low  of  lute.  When  he  found  a  man  of  some 
note  in  DUbli  1 1  ropoaiug  that  a  vote  of  £4,200 
ought  tobe  nisiste*!  by  successive  motions,  re- 
ducing the  suup  by  £1,  and  therefore  having 
4,*J1>0  divisions!  it  was  clear  that  the  poison  had 
spread.  How  cvjer,  the  day  of  reckoning  was  at 
^hkncellor  of  tho  Exchequer,  an 
edk  man,  set  himself  to  put  down 
Tjift  bill  under  discussion  was  0116 
which  annexed  the  Transvaal  to  Great  Britain, 
and  Mr.  Parhell] opposed  the  measure,  saying: 
*-*  I  am  an  Irishman,  and  I  know  what  English 
rule  and  English  tyranny  have  done  for  my 
country,  and  therefore  I  have  an  interest  in 
thwarting  th«  llesigns  of  the  Government  in 
this  caseJ"  Noiv,  tliis  was  a  perfectly  iQgiti- 
mate  utteraucei  Any  man  may  oppose  the 
Government  .aiid  thwart  it,  and  he  has  a  right 
to  say  thsit,  having  seen  the  effects  of  a  certain 
policy,  1ms  will  oppose  any  development  of  that 
policy.  Sir  :»tafford  Northcote,  however, 
thought  be  saw  |i  contemptuous  defiance  of  the 
House  of  Commons  in  the  expression,  and  he 
jumped  up  and  moved  that  "the  words  be 
taken  down.''  This  formula  is  employed  when- 
ever a  member  has  said  that  which  any  other 
member  thinks,  ought  not  to  have  been  said. 
WTien  this  bappl-ns,  the  offender  is  heani  in  re- 
ply, and  an  a]>ol|»gy  usually  terminates  the  dif- 
ficulty. Mr.  Paj-nell,  however,  simply  told  the 
House  that  he  lelievedwhat  be  had 'said,  that 
it  was  quite  rigli  t  to  say  it,  that  he  had  nothing 
to  retnu:t.  and  t  lat  he  would  abide  the  issue. 
The  Speaker  then  directed  him  to  with- 
draw, and  he  \alkedoutof  the  House.  The 
Chancellor  theu  moved  that  he  be  suspended 
from  servinjg  until  Friday.  (this  hap- 
pened on  Wtdresday ;)  whi-reupon  a  debate 
ensued,  and  th(;  sense  of  all  parties  seemed 
strong  against  tl  e  Chancellor.  He  then  agreed 
to  an  adjourn!  ue  it  of  the  debate,  and  >Ir.  Par- 
nell  returned  :o  :  lis  place  and  resumed  his  re- 
marks as  thoLtgi  nothing  had  occurred.  On 
Thursday;  the  ChanceCor  proposed  that  the 
order  for  adjo  irnmeut  be  read  and  discharged, 
thus  retreatirg  from  his  position.  This  was  a 
great  triumph  f<  r  the  obstructives.  Yesterday 
the  Chancelloi  novedand  carried  a  couple  of 
resolutions  proh  biting  any  member  from  mov- 
ing adjournments  more  than  twice,  and  em- 
powering thel  S])eaker  to  take  a  division  with- 
out a  debate  upon  the  conduct  of  any  member 
whom  he  believed  to  be  willfully  obstriicting  the 
progrjess  of  business.  The  House  can  punish  by 
rejjrimand,  or  bylcomraittal  to  jail,  or  by  expul- 
sion, and  the  fees  of  the  Sergeant-at-arms  who 
makes  the  arrest  amount  to  about  £400. 
The  sLn  of  contempt  possesses  various 
sha<les.  When  tjlie  action  •  complained  of  has 
taken  place  outside  the  House,  a  committee 
is  appointed  tol  inquire  into  the  member's 
conduct,  j  This  was  done  when  Mr.  Butt  was 
charged  with  corruptly  receiving  money  for 
his  services  |asa| member.  Ho  was  acquitted. 
When  Smith  O'Bpen  refused  to  serve  on  a  com- 
mittee, he  was  apested  for  contempt  of  a  rule 
of  Parliatnent,  aiid  was  imprisoned  for  a  time. 
When  Dr.  KeneiQy,  the  other  daj^,  called  Mr. 
SuUivan  ii  liar,  and  Blr.  Sullivan  brought  the 
matter  before  the  House,  he  was  arrested,  but

From  our  Special  CorrtspondetiU 
GnjRGEvo,  Tuesday..  Jiily  24,  1877. 
Nothing  more  wretched  and  inane  can 
be  conceived  than  the  bombardment  of  yester- 
day. Except  a  few  shells  sent  among  the  houses 
of  the  town,  just  to  show,  as  it  were,  that 
"petit  honhomtne  vit  encore,"  the  Turks  did  not 
deign  to  take  any  part  in  the  performance, 
whose  only  result  seems  to  be  the  proving  of  the 
inability  of  the  Russian  Chief  of  Artillery  at  Slo- 
bodja  to  keep  his  promise  of  reducing  Rus- 
tchukin  three  days.  They  let  tho  town  alone  on 
this  occasion,  and  directed  all  their  fire  on  the  for- 
tifications in  rear  and  again.st  the  troops,  who 
were  supposed  to  be  under  canvas  upou  the  hill- 
top, but  without  doing  much  harm,  as  all  the 
garrison  had  gone  out  to  fight  a  column  which 
had  attacked  from  the  Pyrgos  side,  where  the 
Czarewiteh  is  in  person.  It  seems  that  this 
Prince  has  decided  that  Rustchuk  must  fall  on 
or  before  the  27th  of  July.  The  Commander- 
in-Chief,  on  the  day  of  the  passage  at  Sistova, 
had  explained  the  vital  necessity  of  the  capture 
of  this  place' at  an  earlj*  period  of  the  campaign, 
because  of  its  position  on  the  line  of  railway 
communications  with  Roumauia  and  with  the 
interior.  Thereupon  the  heir  to  the  throne  re- 
plied, without  a  moment's  hesitation— be  it 
borne  in  mind  that  this  is  his  first 
campaign — "  You  shall  have  the  fortress 
within  a  month."  He  has  just  three  days  left 
during  which  he  must  fulfill  his  promise,  but,  as 
the  attack  on  the  land  side  yesterday  utterly 
failed.  I  fear  that  ho  will  not  be  able  to  keep  his 
imperial  word,  tinlesshemanagestobuyoverthe 
Turkish  Governor,  as  was  done  at  Varna  in 
1S2S.  One  thing,  at  all  events,  is  certain  :  As 
I  wrote  a  few  days  ago,  Rustchuk  is  not  com- 
pletely invested,  and  wiser  counsels  in  the  staff 
have  prevailed  against  the  suicidal  exposure  of 
the  Russian  right  wing  to  an  attack  from 
Shumla  in  the  rear.  The  new  Commander-in- 
Chief  of  the  Army  of  the  Danube.  Meheraet 
All,  is  reported  to  have  arrivedat  head-qTiarters. 
and,  as  all  new  brooms  sweep  clean,  he  will 
probably  show  some  energy  and  endeavor  to 
repair  the  mischief  caused  by  his  predecessor's 
stupidity  and  inaction.  He  enjoys  a  high  repu- 
tation, and,  possibly,  may  accomplish  some- 
thing if  his  troops  will  fight,  although  his  es- 
ploit.s  against  the  Bosnian  insurgents  were  not 
crowned  with  any  very  striking  success. 

Mehemet  Ali  Pasha  i:^  a  Prussian  renegade,  the 
son  of  a  music  master  in  Berlin,  who  was  adopted 
by  the  late  Aoli  Pasha,  when  that  great  Turkish 
statesman  was  Ambassador  at  the  court  of 
*'  Pious  William."  I  caiiuot  speak  of  him.  ex- 
cept from  hearsay,  but  I  have  been  furnished 
with  some  very  trustworthy  details  of  his  char- 
acter and  manners  by  a  gentlethan  who  passed 
several  months  in  his  company  in  Bosnia  at  the 
close  of  1875.  He  commanded  last  year  the 
army  which  beat  the  Servians,  under  Gen. 
Zach,  in  front  of  Novi  Vagar.  and  would  have 
marchetl  immediately  upon  Belgrade  if  the 
great  war-horse,  Abdul  Kerim,  then  operating 
against  Alexinatz,  had  not  forbidden  the  move- 
ment. He  studied  at  the  Russian  Jlilitary 
School,  wliere  he  graduated  with  con- 
siderable distinction,  was  promoted  rap- 
idly to  the  rank  of  Ferik,  and  would 
long  before  this  have  occupied  a  more 
prominent  position  in  the  Ottoman  Array 
but  for  the  death  of  his  protector  and  the  hos- 
tility of  the  Grand  Vizier  Mahmoud,  for  whom 
Mehemet  All  has  a  particular  aversion.  Some 
months  before  the  overthrow  and  suicide  of 
Abdul  Aziz  Khan,  the  General  spoke  freely  of 
the  necessity  of  his  dethronement  iu  order  to 
inaugurate  the  reforms  without  which  Turkey 
must  inevitably  perish.  His  pet  hobby  is 
'*  financial  honesty.''  That  a  great  Empire  like 
that  of  tlie  Osmanli  should  refuse  to  pay  its  cou- 
pons, and  shouldallowitssignature  to  bo  protest- 
ed, he  cannot  understand,  and  he  would  '*  hang 
■every  one  of  those  robbei^  who  thus 
bring  disgrace  upon  a  nation."  We  can 
readily  understand  his  virtuous  Indig- 
nation when  we  consider  that  3Iehemet 
Ali.  who  was  adopted  from  chai  ity, 
and  whose  father,  declining  to  become  a  rene- 
gade, is  literally  starving  in  Berlin,  has  amassed 
a  very  large  fortune,  but  that  the  non-payment 
of  the  aforesaid  coupons  cuts  down  his  revenXies 
by  about  100,000  francs  annually.  He  had  a 
disappointment  in  love  about  a  year  ago ;  a  very 
handsome  but  portionless  girl  of  good  family^ 

Mile.   Antoinette  de  S ,  attracted  his  fancy, 

and  some  of  the '  friends  of  her  family  endeav- 
ored to  Dring  about  a  marriage,  where  a  hand- 
some settlement  and  all  the  rights  aud  privi- 
leees  of  a  European  wife  would  be  guaranteed 
before  the  French  authorities.  What  the  young 
lady  herself  tliought  about  it  I  canuot  say.  but 
her  mother  was  not  to  be  bought  over  eveu  by 
the  great  man's  tempting  offers,  and,  in  spite  of 
the  penury  of  her  household,  replied  to  the  ne- 
gotiator of  the  affair  that  "shohad  suffered 
much,  but  until  then  had  beeu  spared  the  in- 
sult of  an  offer  of  marriage  by  a  Prussian,  who 
added  to  the  disgrace  of  his  nationality  the  stig- 
ma of  apostasy."  Mehemet  Ali  was  very  much 
cut  up  by  the  rejection  of  his  suit,  aud  has  since 
then  been  distinguished  for  his  ultra-Islaniism 
and  his  severity  toward  "Rayah  dogs,"  as  he 
calls  Christians  in  generaL 

Rumors  are  afloat  of  a  reverse  in  the  Balkans. 
but  where  is  not  exactly  known,  as  the  capture 
of  the  Schipka  Pass  leading  to  the  Col  de  Kasan 
and  the  Valley  of  Kasanlik  has  not  boon  con- 
firmed. A  corpa  (Tann/e,  however,  has  certainly 
pas.sed  the  Balkans,  and  is  intrenching  at  Eski- 
•Saghra,  whither  Suleiman  Pasha,  with  his 
troops  from  Montenegro,  reinforced  by  the 
Army  of  Adrlanople,  is  marching  to  attack  it. 
This  much  we  do  know :  the  division  detached 
against  Plevna,  an  open  town  on  the  mililarj' 
road  leading  to  the  Valley  of  the  Osma, 
has  been  badly  beaten.  I  have  seen  a 
copy  of  the  dispatch  from  the  Russian  head- 
quarters to  the  Roumanian  Gen.  ^lano  at 
Islacz  and  Turnu-Magtirelli,  ordering  him  to 
"occupj-  NikopoUs  immediately,  us  Gen. 
Kriidener's  corps  was  needed  to  reinforce  the 
column  at  Plevna,  wnich  was  iu  imminent  dan- 
ger," Details  of  the  engagement  are  wanting, 
but  from  my  knowledge  of  the  position  and  of 
the  resource.^  of  the  Turkish  Army  in  tho 
Vilayet  of  Widdin,  I  am  inclined  to  believe  that 
Osman  Pasha  has  occupied  a  ridge  of  hills  about 
1,400  feet  above  the  plain,  covered  witli  brush- 
wood aud  small  trees,  which  bars  the  entrance 
into  the. great  alluvial  plain  of  Loftcha,  and 
has  forced  a  battle,  with  the  advantage  of  po- 
sition. From  a  mere  comparison  of  numbers  it 
will  be  readily  seen  that  the  chances  must  have 
been  in  favor  of  the  Osmanli,  who,  with 
the  division  of  7.000  men  from  Rahova  and 
such  troops  as  Osman  Pasha  chose  to  detach 
from  Atlie  and  Widdin,  not  more  than  a  day's 
march  distant,  could  oppose  15,000  troops  I0 
the  10,000  or  12.000  Russians  who  are  at- 
tempting to  work  their  way  westward.  There 
is  no  doubt  of  this  defeat,  which,  although  it 
will  not  have  any  serious  l)earing  in  itself  upon 
the  ultimate  success  of  the  campaign,  demon- 
strates the  very  bad  strategical  combina- 
tions of  the  Russian  staff,  in  splitting 
up  the  army  Into  small  fractions,  and 
operating  upon  a  number  of  eccentric 
lines  not  iu  direct  communication  with 
each  other.  Perhaps  we  are  on  the  eve  of  a 
change  of  programme  ;  possibly  of  a  turn  of  the 
wheel  of  fortune.  It  was  all  plain  sailing  and  a 
succession  of  *'  official  victories  "  in  Asia  for  a 
long  time,  until  the  renegade  Feizy  Pasha — 
Kolman — took  in  hand  the  (direction  of  affairs, 
and  then  the  Russians  were  obliged  to  raise  the 
siege  of  Kara,  and  Grand  Duke  Michael  retired 
for  his  health  to  Tiflis.  In  tactics  the  BussIaus 
are  undeniably  superior  to  their  enemies.  Be- 
tween, the  courajze  of  the  aaJdipj-e  at  tltA  «nr<x 


Annies  there  is  not  much  to  choose ;  but  there 
is  such  an  utter,  want  of  all  strategical 
knowledge  on  both  sides  that  wher- 
ever a  man  of  eveu  ordinary  ability 
shows  himself  there  will  be  the  victorj-.

along  the  Danube.  2.  The  erection  of  Bulgaria 
into  an  atitonoinic  State,  after  the  manner  of 
Servia  and  Roumauiii.  with  its  own  national 
Militia  and  interior  administration — this  ^lilitia 
Ls  to  be  the  so-called  Corps  of  Bulgarian  Volun- 
teers, which  has  not  been  put  in  face  of  the 
enemy,  being  not  unlike  the  army  of  great 
Jack  Folstaff;  the  interior  administration  is 
entirely  to  be  conducted  by  Muscovite  officers, 
with  nominally,  in  order  to  save  api^^earancea. 
some  local  Bulgarian  functionaries,  who  will 
obey  orders  with  uU  th«>  servility  of  their  race. 
:i.  The  limits  of  the  now'  State  to  be 
Philiippopolis.  inclusive  of  the  chain  of  the 
lia-nius  .)r  Brdkans  prop*-r;  rtiis  is  on  the 
pretext  of  preventing  a  renevfal  of  the  la^st 
year's  atrocities  in  the  Mariiga  Valley,  but  in 
renlitv  to  secure  possession  of  Turkey's  moun- 
t:iin  line  of  defense.  4.  The  expatriation  of 
all  tiie  Mussulmans  in  Bulgaria,  whoee  pr<;*perty 
is  to  be  dividetl  among  the  Christian  rayahs  and 
paid  for  to  the  original  proprietors  by  a  land 
tax — Turkish  taxes  have  not  hitherto  been  very 
remunerative — levied  upon  the  new  owners,  y. 
Tin;  free  piissHge  of  the  Dardanelle.*;.  0.  A 
little  war  indemnity,  in  the  shape  of  The  cession 
uf  one-half  of  the  Turkish  fleet,  and  of  a  slice 
of  territory  in  Asia,  probably  of  Bntoum.  whose 

f>i>rt  will  be  imnieni-eJy  useful  to  the 
{ussian  possessions  in  the  Caucasus.  It  is  very 
possible,  although  by  no  means  sure,  that  the 
Porte  mar  accept  these  terms  if  left  to  itself, 
but  whatever  maybe  the  protestations,  and  even 
tiie  real  intentious  of  England,  if  only  an  Ene- 
lish  CotPoral's  guard  lands  at  Gallipoli  the 
Turks  will  see  in  the  demonstration  a  sign  of 
English  sympathy,  and  t^-i]l  not  thi-ow  up  the 
sponge.  All  the  Russian  diplomatists  know  this, 
and  as  they  know  also  thst  they  are  in  imminent 
danger  of  beingembroiled  with  Austria,  against 
this  they  are  eudeavorins  to  take  defensive 
measures  by  the  formation  of  an  armv  at 
Ploiesti.  and"  by  the  concentration  of  a  corps  uf 
observation  on  the  frontiers  of  Gallicia.  The 
general  opinion  is  that  peace  will  be  concluded 
within  the  next  six  weeki,  but  as  the  same  gen- 
eral opinion  pronounced  against  the  probabili- 
ties of  the  outbi-eak  of  hostilities,  and  would 
nut  believt  in  auything  but  a  demonstration, and 
a  game  of  brag,  eveu  after  t'ue  Arinv  uf  Kisbe- 
neff  had  cross<.-d  the  Pruth.  some  doubts  may 
be  legitirautely  entertaijied  of  the  i.rornptnesg 
of  a  purifif  solution.  The  Roum;inians  «re  de- 
pres>e(l  :  at  least,  their  Government  is.  for  an 
unpleasant  cummuni<rali  »ii  has  l^een  sent 
them,  throtigli  their  diplomatic  agent  at 
Vienna,  to  the  effect  that,  alibon^u  Aus- 
tria would  not  interl'erc  with  their 
bellicose  proclivities,  the  declaration  of  inde- 
pendence was  iin  act  which  entirely  freed  the 
guaranteeing  powers  from  all  obligations  tti- 
ward  the  protection  of  Roumai;iau  interests, 
and  that  in  fut^-ire  R-oun\aiu,i,  nni.-it  assume  all 
the  responsibility  of  her  a-.-ls.  1'bis  lias  sonie- 
wliiit  cooled  their  wailike  ardor,  and  from  l(*e 
suilden  departure,  aunonnced  in  the  papers 
which  we  receive  here  fi-om  the  capital,  tif 
their  very  clever  Jlini-jterof  Fojvign  Affairs. 
Mr.  Cugitluiceano,  on  a  special  mission  to 
the  Austrian  capital,  wi-  may  suppose  that 
the  oiiiciai  communication  of  the  *  Imperial 
Chancellery  may  have  been  a  little  strouirer 
thim  a  mere  friiudly  warning.  3Ieanwhile  jhe 
Second  Roumanian  Anny  Corps  is  to  do  garri- 
son and  police  duty  at>**1kopoli?,  and  the  Pnnce 
sup^-rintends  iu  per.<on  the  prejiarations^for  the 
I'S-^sac*  of  the  river  at  Ivalafat.  The  great 
event  of  the  day  there,  since  the  bombardment 
lia>  b-.-L-:i  di<cunT:nneil.  was  The  funeral  honors 
ren.ien-ii  to  iSer::t.  Const-intine  I'oprsco,  who 
was  killed  during  the  cnnnonnde  of  the  20ih 
June.  The  sovereign,  with  detachments  from 
all  the  regiments,  assisted  at  the  ceremony,  and 
the  Pr:nee«s  sent,  all  the  way  from  Bucharest, 
a  wreath  of  inm-.ortcUfS  to  be  placed  upon  the 
tomb  of  the  i^^'.llaut  soldier,  who,'  I  may  add,  is 
the  only  military  victim — the  others  being  two 
uM  women  and  a  cow — of  the  "  terrible"  fire  of 
the  Tiirks^  who.  from  Roumanian  accounts, 
miw  have  sent  over,  at  the  lowest  calculation, 
soniething  like  1.500  projectiles.        4 

As  ihejove  of  mystery  is  communicative,  ond 
to  take  pattern  fn)ia  their  allies,  the  officials 
ar<'  cautior.ing  their  employes  to  be  discreet. 
and  to  speak  of  nothing  except  "fairs  accomjt- 
li.s ;  *■  iiiileed.  there  is  a  .**erious  question  now 
under  discussif»n  by  the  Cabinet  of  forbidding 
the  uev^'sj-apers  to  give  any  derails  about  any- 
thing. Heaven  knows  wliat  we  shall  come  to 
soon,  for  as  it  is  one  risks  being  taken  for  a 
Turkisli  i-py.  if  hi?  asks  a  simple  question.  I  do 
do  not  suppose  however  tliat  I  am  in  danger  of 
capital  punishment  or  exile,  even  if  luy  letter  is 
opi'Ued  and  1  am  convicted  of  Iia\-ing*fold  how 
the  rolling  stock  of  the  Roumanian  railwavs  be- 
ing insufticient,  the  Russians  have  transformed 
'Mi  of  their  owu  locomotives  so  as  to  work  on 
the  narrow  gauge  tracks.  a:id  that  two  of  them 
p:nashe<l  into  each  other  yesterday  on  their  way 
here  from  Bucharest  :  how  many  soldiers  were 
killed  and  wounded  is  not  published,  but  the 
dnrauge  done  is  admitted  to  be  ven*  consider- 
able. 

Apropos  of  the  secrecy  observed  by  the  Rus- 
sian admiuistnttion.  I  will  cite  two  anecdotes  : 
When  the  Emperor  left  for  the  front  six  weeks 
a;ru  the  imperial  triiin  was  directed  fromPUoesti 
upon  Siatina.  \Mien  about  half  way.  his 
Maiesty  received  a  dispatch  announcing'the  ar- 
rival of  a  Cabinet  courier  with  an  important 
communication  from  Count  Schouvaloff  in  Lou- 
don, and  gave  orders  that  the  messenger  should 
follow  without  dolav.  but  was  unable  to  specify 
at  what  point  woufd  be  formed  the  imperial 
head-<jnarters.  He  was  quite  as  much  in  the 
dark  when  lie  gut  to  Siatina.  where  a  Colonel 
was  in  waiting  with  his  Majesty's  escort  and 
ctirrJBtre  :  the  Colonel  gi-it  on  the  box  with  the 
driver  and  piinteil  out  the  road  ;  at  the  end  of 
a  few  miles  he  was  repl.iced  by  atiotlier  officer. 
and  he  ag;iin  by  a  tiiird,  so  that  there  were 
thrcf  relays  of  guides  before  the  Emperor  ar- 
riveil  ai  the  head-auartersof  the  Comra'ander-in- 
Chi'-f.     Of  the  other  example  I  was  a  "Viitness. 

The  train  was  about  to  leave  the  station  of 
n.iuiassi  fur  (iiurgevu.  from  which  it  is  only  a 
few  miles  distant.  Officers,  soldiers,  and  Gene- 
rals were  in  their  places,  and  the  bell  had 
sounded  the  signal  for  departure,  when  the 
station-master  came  hurriedly  out  of  his  ofiSoe 
and  ordered  a  delay  of  20  minutes  after  the 
hour  fixed  on  the  time-tables,  because  the  des- 
tinaticin  «f  the  troops  had  been  changed,  and  as 
no  one  knew  whither  they  were  to  proceed  they 
must  wait  for  iUNtructions.  Ten  minutes  after- 
ward an  aide-de-cami>  galloped  up.  called  the 
stution-master  aside,  opened  a  sealed  envelope 
which  he  took  from  his  ix^cket,  whispered  the 
instrtictions  to  him  "  and  tho  engineer, 
and  then  rode  awav  again.  Where 
they  went  to  I  never  lieanl,  but  all  the 
civilians  were  ordered  out  of  tlie  carriages. 
another  locomotive  was  put  in  rear  of  the  train, 
wliich  steamed  off  in  the  opposite  directio:*".. 
while  we  were  left  to  await  the  nest  conveyance 
and  to  meditate  over  snd  criticise  the  beautiful 
system  of  insuring  secrecy  fur  evet^'  ojieration, 
be  it  important  or  ijisignifi<*ant.  There  is  some- 
thing almost  childish  in  all  these  precautions 
for  what,  after  all,  is  often  only  the  secrtt  de 
pQlichindle. 

A  .SEynA-TIOXAL  ADYEXTVRESS. 
The  London  Court  Circul-ir  of  July  2.s  has  the 
following  paragraph  from  Paris:  "The  trial  of  an 
adveiiliu-oss  whose  identity  the  Police  have  not  yet 
been  able  to  fix.  bat  who  for  tlie  present  lias  assumed 
the  title  of  Countess  de  Sp.iur,  has  cau.sed  quite  a 
sensation.  She  was  ch.-irged  with  swiiniluig  and  ob- 
tiiiiihiir  jroods  under  faKu  7iretf  uces,  aii.l  «t  tlie  har 
with  her  appeared  a  French  entjineer  named  Coiret, 
a  niiiii  of  distinction  iu  his  profession,  who  was  in- 
dicted as  .in  accomplice  iu  her  frauds.  The  female 
has  at  different  tiiues  passed  as  the  Count©s.s  Batthy- 
aui.  Mme.  I'X'xhul,  Barviiess  de  Charlestuwn,  M.ir- 
quise  rtEmblte.  and  Couuttss  de  Montfort.  She  had 
incurred  a  debt  of  1^,000  francs  at  the  Prince  of 
Wales'  Hotel  under  the  name  of  the  Countess  do 
Spaor.  which  is  that  of  a  yonug  Aastrian  Lieuten- 
ant with  whoDi  s'ue  had  beeu  on  terms  of  uitimiicy. 
but  who.  on  beisg  subsequently  written  to  by  the 
hotel  proprietor,  replied  that  the  woman  was  not  his 
wife,  and  that  he  would  not  be  resp'i:isib!e  for  her 
debts.  She  had  also  run  up  bills  at  different  shops 
to  the  amount  of  2ij,000  francs.  The  prosecution 
has  reason  to  believe  that  she  is  tlie  daughter  of  a  ■ 
cooper  in  Silesia,,  in  Prussia,  and  the  trial  was  ad- 
journed for  furtfier  inquiries."'

OX  THE  SUBJECT  ASD  f^HAT  THEY 
AMOUXT  TO. 
Two  brief  but  significant  statements  may  he 
made  of  Central  Part,  the  truth  of  which  every  in- 
telligent citizen  of  Xew-York  knows  and  sees  for 
himself.  First,  th-it  from  the  time  the  Park  was 
c<5nstmcted  until  within  two  or  three  years,  it  was 
s^^rvised.  maintained,  and  policed  with  a  tborotigh 
ness  and  care  which  m.ide  the  I'ark  and  its  admiuin- 
tration  the  pride  and  delight  of  tho  Citv* :  second, 
that  it  has  been  steadily  running  down  during  tb« 
past  two  or  tiiree  years,  tmtil  at  this  time  the  wal-s 
are  untidy,  the  gardens  tintended,  the  trees  un- 
pruned,  the  gras.s  nntnown,  the  bandtngs  segleded, 
and  a  general  air  of  imtidiness  about  the  wfaole  ptoos 
whifh  invariably  indicates,  wherever  seen,  a  loose- 
ness of  supervision  in  the  governing  powers.  The<i< 
are  palpable  and  ob\-ious  facts.  Tlie  bad  condition  ol 
the  Parkls'sonieihing  which  ouo  hears  complained 
of]  nearly  every  day.  It  is  something  irhich  every 
«ne  can  see  :  the  causes  of  it  are  not  su  obviotus.  Tlie 
running  down  pntcess  commenced  under  Marar 
Wickham,  who  probably  made  wur^e  nppoiiatinenis 
than  any  other  Mnyor  Xew.Vork  ever  lio^— much 
wor.-sp,  iu  fact,  tliat  Oatey  Hnll«lid.  It  i^/trac  that 
the  I*ark  suffered  cousidembly  while  tlie  Sweojiy  ad- 
ministration had  it  under  the  Tweed  charter,  but  it 
did  not  suffer  from  iieclect.  or  bv  the  tumihV  out  ol 
competeut  subordinates  to  give  places  to  ignorant  and 
incompetent  oucs.  t#et:  it  be  said  to  Mr.  ^jweeny".-; 
credit,  that  under  his  mauscement  the  old  aumskilled 
subordinates  who  were  redly  uecessarv  to  ti^ propel 
management  of  the  Park  were  not  inteKerJd  with. 
An  unnecessary*  number  of  men  were  som^ffunes  .em 
ployed,  aud  various  "  imyroTemonts  "  ik  the  p!iice 
were  made,  though  not  by  Mr.  STuceny^  bnt  tho 
Park  never  suffere*!  by  the  '■  jwtroiiege '"  6y*;tem  ; 
and  it  is  a  truth  to  be  reraem'uered.  t^iat  in  the 
whole  history  of  the  Park  Departuien't,  no  pulitioo. 
assessment  was  ever  made  upou  its  employes  unti 
the  present  President  of  tL«  Board  of  Comxutasioaen 
came  into  poWer. 

Tlie  demoralization  of  the  department  has  reached 
its  ultimate  poict  under  Mr.  WiiUam  R.  ilartln 
From  the  top  to  the  bottom,  from  the  chiefs  of  dlvl

Mr.  Martin,  as  ev<»rybody  kuvtw?.  is  now  holding 
over,  his  term  of  office  havhisr  expired  some  timi 
ajjo.  llie  appointment  of  a  new  CummiMioner  r*stt 
with  Mavor  Ely.^who  de<iirf'S  to  npnoint  a  faithftL 
friecd  ot  his  named  .Teremiali.  now  in  the  Pabli*

nothing  to  po  into  ecsiasieq  about,  would  cer 
tainly  be  a  vast  improiement  on  Mr.  "Wiliiani 
K.  Martin ;  but  Mr.  .reremiafi  was  not  wjU- 
ittirtolM;  made  a  Commissioner  unless  he  <*otiid  be 
the  Pre.<5ident  of  the  hoard,  and  so  cet  the  salarv  at- 
tached to  that  office.  This  miirht  have  been  ar- 
rauged.  but  Mr.  John  Kelly  stands  in  the  waA-with 
his  absolute  prohibition  of  the  condrmation  of  any 
appointmeut  by  the  Board  of  Aldermt-n  until  Msyoc 
Ely  should  send  in  the  name  of  fnirroy  for  IVdice 
Commissioner.  As  the  Mavor  is  not  yet  prepared  to 
forfeit  all  claims  to  public  respect,  ho  refuses,  and 
thu.s  it  fomes  that  Mr.  Martin  holds  on.  One  other 
circumstance  in  the  aifair  is  pnrtii'ul.'irly  deserving 
of  utienlion  bec.tuse  it  so  stnkinirly  illustrates  Mr. 
Kelly's  characteristic  cunnin^f.  Mr.  Mnrtin's  malad- 
ministration of  the  Park*  lia*  been  the  subject  of 
much  complaint  to  llr.  Kc-Uy  himself  from  many  ol 
our  leading  citizens.  "WJunevf r  any  of  these  havts 
been  to  him  on  tiie  subject,  they  have  corae  away 
Convinced  that  tho  Controller  'wa.s  a  fair-minded 
man.  and  really  desirous  to  do  his  dutv  to  the  City  sc 
far  as  he  couhl.  Mr.  Kelly  has  deplored  to  them* the 
\>ad  state  of  affairs  under  Mhjilii's  administr^v^

he  i.^  a  disirrace  to  tl:t.-  Citv.  and  t< 
profess  his  desire  to  see  him  co  out  of  offire  at  the 
earliest  momeut.  So  far  so  pjod.  But  it  happens  tc 
be  notorious  araop~  ali  persons  who  have  any  fcnowi. 
edge  of  City  affairs  that  the  whole  patroncKe  of  th« 
Park  Department  is  dictaied  by  Piaroy.  Purroy  i* 
in  constant  communicaiion  with  Martin';  hois  at  the 
Park  Department.ofBce3  all  the  time;  every  chance 
of  men  is  made  al  his  dictation,  and  Martin  make* 
none  until  he  jets  orders  froni  Purror.  Kvervbody 
knows  that  this  i)erson  is  simply  Mr.  lielly's  aervant. 
and  has  absolutely  nothins  iu  the  present  or  future 
but.  what  is  given  him  or  he  expects  to  pet  tcom  Mr.

THE  CAXADIAX^LAliOR  COXGRESS. 
The  Canadian  Labor  Congre-i^,  ia  session  in 
Toronto,  passed  the  following  res'dations  on  Thurs^- 
day:"  First — That  iii  the  opinion  of  lliis  CoULTess  it 
would  l.e  advisable,  aud  would  tend  to  improve  trade, 
if  the  hours  of  la'.Kir  were  reduced  iu  ever>*  branch 
of  industry  from  tt-u  to  nine  hours,  aud  the  stricc 
limitation  of  over-time  would  be  followed  by  ad- 
vancoment,  intellectuallv  and  morally,  of  the  work- 
ing ela.«ses.  Second— ^V^le^£as.  it  i*  impoasible  to  se- 
cure thorough  representation  on  the  tl'V^r  of  tK**

to  use  all  lepitiuinte  means  in  its  power  to  fi«.-<»urL-  th:;

That  in  the  opinion*  of  this  Conpres?*  the  co:i,vier  la- 
bor of  this  country  should  not  be  uiiliZfHl  sb  as  v

That  this  Conpress  believes  ilmt  the  j.rincinle  of  co-

The  Rochester  Unitrit.  notes  the  foUowinp^  : 

'■  The  owner  of  an  Old  strap  iron  safe  In  thii^  clt\

has  taken  a  novel  method  of  effecting  his;  purpose. 
The  old  box  is  placed  on  the  street  aud  a  prjice  put  on 
it  the  first  dav.  It  was  not  sold,  and  every  day  since 
a  new  price,  ¥l  less  than  the  previous  oucl  is  set  oa 
it.  At  this  rate  in  a  year  or  two  a  purchaser  may  ba 
found.  The  idea  is  not  a  new  one.  Mj.ny  year?  *iujo

The  tfstimonj-  in  regard  to  the  railroad 
/JLisaster  at  Ocianjiort  is  vt'ry  damaging  to 
the  geuenil  maajiiiement  of  tho  road.  The 
•iraw-teudt-r  testified  that  lie  )iad  not  iii- 
>pecteU  the  iJrawlo  sec  whether  it  was 
I'roperly  locked:  )re  did  not  know  that  it 
was  hiji  duty'to  wateh  the  loek  ;  he  had  the 
key  but  he  never  put.  it  on  ;  -any  one  eoidd 
imloek  tkt>  draw  -who  chose  to  do  so; 
lie  wasi.  not  aiitliorized  to  keep 
boys  u'dray  from  the  draw,  though 
he  knew  that  from  idle  euriusity  they 
might  unlock  it;  he.  had  never  seen  any 
priutei'f  insti-uetions.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
engin  £ier  testilied  that  printed  instructions 
had  l».-en  issued  to  the  draw-tenders  to  see 
that  the  draw  was  locked  before  each  train 
i>as9ed.  It  is  well  asceriaiiied  that  the  dis- 
ast»r  was  caused  by  tho  draw  being  lelt 
lio'iooked.  and  it  is  plain  that' either  there- 
Wjs  ho  proper  regulation  to  guard  against 
B-ieh  an  accident,  or  that  it  was  not  enforced. 
fii  is  difficult,-  in  the  present  state 
of  our  laws  to  obtain  any  adequate  protec- 
tion against  such  criminal  negligence,  or 
any  adequate  punishment  for  it  when  it  is 
indulged  in.  The  chief  trouble  is  thaTit  is 
hard  to  prove  willful  negligence.  Perhaps 
il  the  presumjJtion  were  made  by  law  to  be 
in  favor  of  plaintiiis  for  damages  in  such 
cases,  and  corporations  held  responsiBle  for 
all  injury  which  t)n-y  could  not  positively 
show  was  unavoidable,  a  little  more  caj-e 
might  be, obtained. 


,  Our  aorrespondent  with  the  Kussijn  forces 
gives  a  sketch  of  the  conditions  of  peace 
which  it  was  generally  believed  that  the  Czar 
was,  late  in  July,  willing  to  offer  to  the  Turks. 
These  included  the  destruction  of  the  Turk- 
ish, fortresses  on  the  Danube  ;  the  erection 
ot  a  semi-independent  State  in  Bulgaria, 
pjractieally  controlled  by  Kussia ;  the  free 
Jiassage  of  the  LiardanelJes,  and  a  slice  of 
Asia  (probably  Batoum)  for  Kussia.  It  is 
needless  to  say  that  since  the  clieek  at  Plevna 
and  the  virtual  abandonment  of  the  Do- 
brudscha  the.se  terras  will  either  be  greatly 
modified,  or  summarily  rejected.  They  are 
■n  substance  such  tei-ms  as  ouly  absolute 
«nd  compk-te  victory  would  justify  the  Kus- 
uans  inioffering^  and  entire  defeat  excuse 
the  TurisK  for  accepting.  That  they  were 
considered  at  aU — and  there  is  much  reason 
tor  thinking  that  they  were — only  shows 
how  ■  great  a  change  the  events  of  the 
last,  fortnight  have  accomplished  in  the  sit- 
uation. ' 


The  Labor  Congress  which  has  just  closed 
its  seaiion  in  Toronto,  Canada,  reached 
tome  conclusions  whieli  were  remarkable 
for  their  moderation,  as  well  as  some  Tvhieh 
show  the  ordinary  coBfusiou  as  to  what  the 
Legislature  can  do  or  ought  to  do  for  those 
who  live  by  wages.  Among  the  former  was 
a;  recommendation  that  the  Government 
a'dould  establish  a  bureau  of  labor  statis- 
tics, which  is  the  kind  of  bureau  that  every 
one  would  be  benefited  and  no  one  harmedby. 
The  suggestion  might  be  considered  with 
advantage  by  Mr.  Staxley  Ma-Tthews 
and  the  amateur  labor-reformers  of  Ohio. 
Another  excellent  recommendation  was  one 
in  favor  of  the-  application  of  co-operation 
In  production)  and  distribution.  '  It  is,  of 
course,  well  established  by  this  time  that 
co-operationjis  not  a  panacea  for  all  the  iEs 
that  labor  is  heir  to,  but  it  is  capable,  tm- 
4jer  eertaio/conditions,  of  doing  a  great  deal 
•of  good.  Xlspecially  it  is  sure  to  teach  those 
•who  undertake  it  that  the  position  of  the 
capitalist  is  not  a  secure  or  easy  one  ;  that 
it  requires  foresight,  prudence,  self-denial, 
»nd  p«.tieiiit  industry  to  reap  even  moderate 
profits ;  that  the  best  systems  of  eo-opera- 
tioa '  can  only  be  made  to  succeed  when 
mairagers  are  found  who  can  be,  and  who 
srei,  trusted  icith  considerable  discretion, 
anu  that  no  scheme  will  do  away  with  the 
<lilSeTences  which  arise  from  the  fact  that 
some  men  are  more  capable  and  more  hon- 
'iMt  tlisii  others.  In  fact,  the  greatest  vii^ 
ta*  of,  eo-op«ratioii  loay  b*  laid  to  be  its 


power  to  show  tBe  foolialmen  of  ijuay  of 

the  working  men's  hopes  and  plans. 


Less  sensible  aiid  practical  are  tie  sug- 
gestions of  the  confess  that  a  reductio  a  of  the 
hours  of  labor  froik  ten  to  nine  hours  would 
necessarily  promdie  laborers'  intei-es  ts,  and 
that  they  can  derive  any  considerai  le  ad- 
vantage from  being  represented  in  Parlia- 
ment by  men  of  their  own  class.  1  labor 
can  be  profitably  employed  and  ci  n  earn 
fair  compensation,  i  there  is  no  sound 
reason  for  giving  up  10  per  cent, 
of  the  time  of]  work,  unles  the 
full  ordinary  tirae;  is  too  mue  i  for 
health,  whichjit  veryt  seldom  is.  The  work- 
men sannot  hope  to  get  ten  hours'  p  ly  for 
nine  hours'  work.  There  are  laws  o  trade 
more  imperative  than  those  of  Parli  iments 
or  labor  congresses  Tyhich  forbid  ths  t,  and, 
except  as  an  indirect  advance  of  waj  es,  the 
reduction  of  time  is  a  vain  and  nn  'eason- 
able  device.  As  to  direct  represei  tation, 
the  workings  men  duj;ht  to  xmder.stat  d  that 
it  is  not  mere  voteS  which  they  nee  1  in  a 
legislative  body,  bnt  intelligence,  ini  uence, 
and  capacity.  Wliether  they  can  al'  rays  or 
usually  get  thesej  most  readily  an(  com- 
pletely from  menl  of  their  own  rai  ks  is  a 
question  which  tliej  can  easily  del  ermine 


tiiei 

4s 


for  themselves.  As  a  rule,  they  w  U  find 
that  any  effort  to  get  benefit  from  politics 
will  bring  more  harm  than  good,  mo  e  dem- 
agogy than  real  wi.sdom. 


The  movement  to  form  an  assoc  ia  tion  of 
the  amateur  boatiiiglclubs  now  exist  ng  and 
actively  engaged  neat  New- York  is  a  s  ensible 
one.  With  some  sji.xty  clubs  of  ifarious 
sorts,  including  miiny  of  tho  most  e  (Kcient 
and  best  maiiagei>|  in  the  eountr  %  it  is

EAMLY  EEFCBLICAyiSil. 
The  modest  celebration  at  "  Downer's 
Laniling"  Thursday  ojllte  anniversary  of 
what  ma}'  justly  bo'^KUed  the  birth 
of  the  Free-soil  Pai'ty.  will  suggest  to 
many  Republicans  considerations  of  no 
small  pertinence  now.  The  Free-soil  Party 
was  the  root  from  wlii>'h  sprang,  rapid- 
ly aud  rigorously,  the  larger  orgai  ization 
that  finally  became  the  Kcpiblican 
Party.  The  essential  idea  of  the  former 
remained  till  the  outbreak  of  the 
rebellion  that  of  the  latter  also.  1  o  tight 
the  perniciW»«  and  ruinous  slave  pow  ?r  with 
weapons  sauctionffd  by  the  Constituti  jn,  and 
for  purposes  clearly  allowed  by  that  instru- 
ment, was  the  motjive  of  each,  and  i .  would 
be  difficult  to  exaggerate  the  servi.-e  per- 
formed bvjjie  men  who  first  coneeiv  ?d  and 
afterw:inl  forced  th^'  adoption  of  tl  "  prin- 
ciple that  slaverirn;^  be  compelled  o  leave 
the  yet  untouchedl;eiti'itorj-of  the  Rep  iblic  as 
"  free  soil."  It  wnsl  that  conceptioi  which 
made  an   anti-slavery  political  orgai  ization 


possible — which,  iU' 


ideed, 


made  it  ini  vitable 


that  the  whole  coiiutry  should  be  div  ided  on 
the  well-defined  issue  of  tho  oxtei  sion  or 
limitation  of  slavery,  and  which,  w  len  the 
critical  moment  ai  last  arrived,  dr  )ve  the 
slave  power  from  its  stronghold  in  1  lie  Na- 
tional Government,  and  \vrote  on  the  banner 
of  the  nation  Webster's  motto,  '•  liberty 
and  union,  one  and  inseparable.*' 

Tho.se  of  us  who  can  recall  the  shock 
which  "  abojitioijism,"  jmre  and  simple, 
gave  to  the  siucerf  aud  ardent  love  of  the 
Union  that  bad  gi-own  up  in  the  fii  st  half 
centiu-y  of  our  nlational  life,  ami  .vho  re- 
member the  bitterness  with  whicl  those 
were  scoutetl  whoi  set  opposition  to  slavery 
above  the  integrity  of  the  Federal  lystcm, 
can  understand  better  tliau  others 
what  a  precious  service  to  tht  cause 
of  freedom  it  was  to  g  ve  it 
a  tenable  staniling  place  witl  in  the 
Union  and  consistent  with  the  Constitution. 
The  achievement  kvas  another  proof  of  the 
political-  s.igacity|of  the  Anglo-Sa.xi  n  race, 
and  of  its  capacity  to  find  its  way  ou  ;  of  dif- 
ficulties which  onjtheir  face  appear  i  rjsuper- 
able.  Had  the  last  generation  of  ou  public 
men — it  is  hardly  ah  exaggeration  t  j  speak 
of  the  founders  of  the  party  of  frc  dom  as 
the  last  generation,  when  we  ret  iU  the 
names  of  St'MS'ER  and  WiLSOK  am  Ch.\se 
and  .Seward — had  more  of  the  fatal  logical- 
ness  of  the  Latin  minds  and  less  of  the 
ruder  common  sense  of  the  Engli;  h,  they 
would  have  accepi  ed  the  position  o:  insur- 
gents against  the  ,'  Ooverument,  t  len  ap- 
parently imprcgii  ably  held  by  th ;  slaye 
power.  That  was  a  position  whic  i  many 
able  and  devoted  men,  such  as  U.  RP.ISON 
and  Phillii-s,  and  in  araea.sure,  G  tEELEV, 
felt  compelled  to  take,  frankly  den  luncing 
the  Union  as  an  inseparable  ally  of  slavery 
and  the  Con.stitutiou  as  its  blind  inst  ument. 
It  X  was  the  position  which  mai  e  Mr. 
Garrison' cry  out  against  the  fund. mental 
law  as  a  ■ '  league  With  death  aud  ; ,  cove- 
nant with  bell,"  and  which  indue  ;d  Mr. 
Greeley,  so  late  as  ISGO,  tocont  implate 
peaceable  secession  as  the  most  ramane 
solution  of  the  vexed  question  of  t  lat  day. 
But  the  men  who  dnyeiited — it  was  r  lally  an 
invention — the  dobtrine  of  "  free  soil,"  real- 
ized fully  the  enormous  advantage  of  not 
running  counter  to  the  patriotism,  t  le  con- 
servatism, or  !  even  the  pr  ijudices 
of  the  great  Ibody  of  the  people. 
They  understood  that  in  a  I  epublie 
and  under  representative  institution  3,  they 
must  win  their  way,  if  at  all,  by  me!  ns  with 
which  tlie  ordinary' citizen  could  cooperate 
and  which  would  bot  make  of  them  )r  their 
associates  political  outlaws.  From  ;he  po- 
sition of  G.4RRISOK  and  Phillips  ey  '.ry  step 
m  advance  made  the  way  more  diffie  ilt  and

aud  SuMSBR,  every  forward  luoveme  it  made 
the  cause  at  once  safer  and  more  rt  specta- 
ble,  as  well  as  mare  sure  of  success. 

The  essential  characteristic  of  th  b  Free- 
soil  movement,  therefore,  was  that  it  was 
the  nucleus  of  a  practical  political  oi  ganiza- 
tion.  The  most  remarkable  .fact  in  its  his- 
tory was  tl>e  rapidity  and  vigor  wit!  i  whicli 
the  mass  of  the  intelligent  voters  g  ithered 
about  its  standard  and  formed  tho  Repub- 
lican Party,  whioh,  advancing  steadily  and 
in  splendid  unity  on  the  line  market  out  by 
the  first  conception,  finished  by  be  loming, 
after  three  national  contests,  not  •  >nly  the 
snseessfnl  ebamDion  of  freedom  wit  \aa.  the 


Unioii,  bqt  tba  champion  of  the  Union 
itselfi,  whose  eontitktted  eziBteno«  was  in- 

dissolubly  linked  with  the  complete  triumph 
of  freedpni.  No  more  significant  proof  of 
the  ■sjisdoni  6f  the  founders  of  the  Free- 
soil  Party  could  be  imagined  than  the  fact 
that  in  so  short  a  time  they  compelled  their 
opponentslto  yield  to  them  their  chief  van- 
tage groujJd,  and  to  become  themselves  the 
"  disnnionists "  which  they  had  so  long 
charged  the  Free-soilers  with  being. 

Another  ISteresting  consideration  in  this 
connection  is  that "  the  Republican  Party 
was  the  creature  of  voluntary  aud  disinter- 
ested] po^it  ical  effort.  We  do  not  mean  to

with  the  Sixth  Ward  of  Xew-York.  Hence 
it  will  be  ujulerstooJ  why,  to  avoid  the  lia-

vidually by  MaH0S"s  constables,  (as,  iu  fact.

the  charge  of  "  v.'illful  murder  "  befor  e  an 
-■Vldermaii  there. 

.  But  the  lesson  t  aught  by  this  incidenris 
not  all  oa  the  surface.  There  e.\iits  a  very 
daugerouS  condition  of  society  iu  the  Penn- 
sylvania anthracite  regions,  produced  by 
the  fjandering  of  demagogues  to  the  lawless 
element!.  '  Much  of  the  violence  thitt  has  os- 
cui-red  there  during  the  past  twenty  years 
has  been  due  to  the  tears  of  offlce-holdera, 
office-seekers,  aud  party  wire-pullers  that 
they  might  lose  the  votes  of  miners  by  ex- 
eeuting'the  laws  and  securing  justice.  "'  I 
have!  seen,"  said  iMr.  F.  B.  Guwek,  in  his 
memorable  argument  at  the  trial  of  M  trN"LE7 
last  year,  in  the  Court  of  Oyer  and  Terminer 
of  Schiiylkill  County,  for  the  murder  of 
b.iSOEP.,  the  unfortunate  young  boss  miner, 
'■  1  havi^  seen  a  society  of  murde.-ers  aud  as- 
sassins having  its  members  in  the  highest 
places  of  this  county.  I  have  seen  thorn 
electfed  to  fill  the  positions  of  constables  and 
policje  officers.  I  have  seen  a  trusted  mem- 
ber of  that  tjand  of  murderers  a  Commis- 
sioner of  the  county.  I  hive  seen  this  or- 
ganization wield  a  political  power  in  the 
State  which  has  controlled  tha  elections  of 
a  great  Commonwealth.  I  h'ive  received 
the  information  of  meetings  between  some 
of  thp  highest  officers  of  the  State  and  the 
chief  of  I  the  murderers,  at  which  large  sums 
of  money  were  paid  to  secui-e  the  votes  of 
this  infernal  association  to  turn  the  tide  of 
a  State  election."  Now,  it  is  true  that  the 
crusade  against  the  MoUie  Maguires  helped 
to  break  up  this  terrible  league  of  law  with 
crime.  But  inveterate  habits  are  not  easily 
cast  off.  The  same  game  to  organize  and 
protect  lawlessness  under  the  shield  of  the 
law  itself  will  always  be  played  in  a  region 
where  votes  can  be  used  as  they  have  been 
used  in  times  past.  It  is  not  only  evident 
that  the  conduct  of  vigilance  committees 
like  iha^  of  Scranton  is  public-spirited  and 
heroic  to  an  unusual  degi'ee,  but  it  is  also 
evident  that  there  wiU  always  be  poUtieians 
and  petty  office-holders  or  offica-seekers 
Willi  ng  to  deliver  up  the  protectors  of  so- 
oiet)  to  the  vengeance  of  the  mob. 

It  miist  be  remembered  that  it  was  only 
by  i|are  skill  and  perseverance  that  the 
conspiracy  of  the  Mollie  Maguires  was  un- 
raveled; The  words  wa  have  quoted  from 
Mr.  GoWES's  speech  were  no  idle  generali- 
ties, struck  out  by  t'ue  sheer  fervor  of 
orator}',  In  that  part  of  his  ai'garaeut  which 
treated  of  the  discoveries  made  by  Mc- 
PARi.v> ,  the  detective,  he  gave  names  and 


offices. 


and  said:      '"Then,    at   last,     we 


could  go  to  P.iTSEY  CoLLlN'S,  tl^e  Commis- 
sioner of  this  county,  aud  say  to  him, 
'  Build  well  the  walls  of  the  new  addition  to 
the  prison,  for  you  shall  enter  the  walls  that 
you  ^e  now  inuldise-f or-  others. '    Then  ire 


cotild  say  to  Jack  Kehoe,  the  High  Con- 
stable of  a  great  borotigh  in  this  county  : 
'  We  have  no  fear  of  you.'  Then  we  could 
say  to  IjrED  MoN'AGHAS,  Chief  of  Police,  and 
murderer  and  j  assassin  :  '  Behind  you  the 
scaffold  is  prepared  for  your  reception.' 
Then  WB  could !s:'y  to  Pat  Con'rt,  Commis- 
sioner of  this  county :  '  The  time  has 
ceased  fvhen  a  Governor  of  this  State  dares/ 
to  pardon  a  Mollie  Maguire  ;  you  have  had 
your  last  pardon.'  Then  we  could  say  to 
John  Slattert,  who  wsis  almost  elected. 
Judge  of  this  coiirt :  '  We  know  that  of  you 
that  it  were  better  you  had  not  been  born 
than  that  it  shquld  be  known.'  Then  all  of 
us  looked  up." 

Now,  if  the  iSiIollie  Maguires — an  organi- 
zation execrate  i  in  the  Schuylkill  region, 
and  see  retly  hated  even  by  the  better  class  of 
workmen,  whom  they  terrorized — if  such  an 
organization  could  have  County  Commis- 
missioners  andj  county  delegates  to  help 
them,  and  thelir  own  agents  as  Chiefs  of 
Police  and  asi  Constables,  "  and  one  of 
their  ndmber  almost  ou  the  Bench  itself," 
what  can  we  not  expect  to  happen  in  the 
mining  |  regions  \^hen  organized  lawlessness 
shall  have  no  such  repulsive  record  of  se- 
cret indrridvial  murder  to  check  its  political 
ambition  ?  Hqaven  only  knows,  as  Mr. 
GoWEN"  has  iatl,  what  would  have  become 
of  Schu.iakin  Coimty  had  the  Mollie  Ma- 
gnii'es  succeeded  in  getting  a  Judge  on  the 
Bench,  and  then  electing  a  Jury  Commis- 
sioner :  for,  wit li  their  sympathizers  not 
only  among  High  Constables  and  Commis- 
sioners^ but  controlling  the  jmy-box  itself, 
they  could  have  diefied  the  law  by  controll- 
ing it.  The  disorderly  elements  in  the  min- 
ing regions  have  now.  as  we  have  said,  no 
record  like  that  of  the  Mollie  Maguires  to 
injure  them.  They  have,  on  the  contrary, 
some  deep  gi-ievances  with  which  to  appeal 
to  popular  sympathy.  That  their  votes  will 
be  looked  nfter  by  politicians,  great  and 
small,  is  clei.r.i  Ji  grave  responsibility  rests 
on  the  piate  and  tounty  conventions  of  the 
rival  parties  to  see  that  they  give  no  en- 
eouragemertt  to  mob  rule  in  their  efforts  to 


attract

powerful  as  >a:  laift,  and  behooving  to  dash

still  widelly  sepaiated,  and  it  was  imperative 
to  overwlhilni  one  before  the  other  could 
come  toihis  assistance.  Ou  the  19th of  Julv,

it  may,  Merexxt  Alt  nmst  be  driven  from 
Basgrad  and  Osmajj  Pasha  from  Plevna,  and 
the  renewal  of  fighting  at  the  latter  place 
shows  that  the  assailants  are  thoroughly  in 
earnest,  despite  their  twice-repeated  failure. 
But  much  must  he  done  before  either  of 
these  objects  can  be  attained.  Since  the 
battle  of  July  31,  the  Turkish  positions 
both  at  Plevna  and  Lovatz  (Loftcha)  have 
been  greatly  strengthened.  Mehemet  Ma 
has  at  least  60,000  men  in  position  between 
Rasgrad  and  Osman-Baear,  and  his  com- 
mand of  the  railway  to  Shumla  will  enable 
him  to  draw  reinforcements  at  will  from 
the  powerful  garrison  of  the  fortress.  Mean- 
while, Rustehuk,  with  a  garrison  of  26,000 
men,  and  abundance  of  heavy  artillery,  is 
well  able  to  take  care  of  itself,  especially 
now  that  its  landward  side  is  completely  free 
fi'om  investment.  Silistria  has  nothing  to 
fear  from  the  Russian  Army  of  the  Dobrud- 
scha,  and  the  rumored  passage  of  the  Dan- 
ube, at  Turtukai  by  a  hostile  detachment,  if 
truly  reported,  has  as  yet  borne  no  fruit 
whatever.  Moreover,  the  causes  which  once 
worked  in  favorof  Russia  are  now  as  fatally 
active  against  her.  Fever,  malaria,  dysen- 
tery, insufficient  food,  "had  ventilation,  con- 
stant marching  under  a  vertical  sun,  are  pro- 
ducing their  inevitable  result.  War,  like 
the  cruel  deities  of  the  East,  is  only  to  be 
propitiated  by  human  sacrifices;  but  it  ■will 
be  well  for  Russia  if  all  these  hecatombs 
do  not  finally  prove  to  have  been  made  in 
vain. 

BABIES  COMMERCIALLY. 

Glorious  and  wonderful  as  babies  may  be, 
as  every  new  baby  unquestionably  is,  it  is 
fortunate  they  are  not  in  the  market.-  If 
they  were,  how  varied  quotations  would  be, 
or  rather  how  impossible  it  would  be  to  estab- 
lish any  quotations  at  all !  To  use  the  lan- 
guage of  tne  street,  holders  would  be  ferocious 
bulls,  and  non-holders  contumacious  bears. 
There  would  be  no  middle  ground  or  com- 
mon base  of  operations.  There  would  be 
neither  bids  nor  offers,  no  buyers,  no  sellers ; 
the  market  would  be  irretrievably  and  in- 
cessantly off. 

It  is  very  easy  to  understand  why  persons 
adore  their  own  offspring.  Such  adoration 
is  natural,  irrepressible,  universal.  The 
world,  that  is  its  population,  woule^not  go  on 
without  it.  Persons  who  have  had  children 
aud  have  reared  them,  have  paid  a  great 
price  for  them  in  suffering,  anxiety,  appre- 
hension, constant  care.  That  these  should 
command  a  high  premium  excites  no  sur- 
prise. But  isii't  it  a  "trifle  odd  that  their 
parents  do  not  want  any  of  their  acquaint- 
ances' children,  however  comely,  winning, 
or  promising,  even  at  a  liberal  discount  T 
Their  own,  to  be  sure,  are  preferred  stock  ; 
but  common  stock  ought  to  have  some 
value.  Varied  goods  are  generally  regarded 
as  dosii-able,  in  order  that  all  tastes  may 
be  suited  aud  the  briskness  of  trade  sus- 
tained. Fathers  and  mothers  are  not  influ- 
enced, a  whit  by  commercial  feeling.  They 
prefer  having  any  number  of  children  of 
the  same  sort  to  making  selections  from 
their  neighbors.  If  it  be  their  ill-fortune  to 
perpetuate  squint  eyes  and  snub  noses,  they 
will  sooner  extend  their  line  to  a  dozen  of 
these  than  intersperse  it  with  perfect  op- 
ties  and  Grecian  contours  from  outside 
sources.  Who  has  not  seen  himdreds  of  fam- 
ilies that  might  be  vastly  improved  by 
a  judicious  mixture  of  alien  blood  ?  But 
the  alien  blood  is  not  sought,  even  though 
it  might  be  purchased  for  a  trifle'.  It  is  often 
declared  by  pessimists  that  there  is  no  hope 
for  the  riiee.  The  reason  must  be  that  ba- 
bies are  homogeneous,  wheu  they  might  be 
made  heterogeneous  by  a  moderate  degree 
of  energj'  and  a  small  amount  of  money  ju- 
diciously invested  in  miscellaueous  assort- 
ments of  babies.  Possibly,  they  could  not  be 
bought  ;  but  the  possibility  cannot  be  flatly 
affirmed  or  denied  until  a  persistent  effort 
has  been  made. 

Who  can  tell  what  advantages  might  arise 
from  treating  infants  as  a  commodity  f  If 
they  were  sold  in  the  open  market,  would 
they  not  be  better  taken  care  of,  many  of 
them  at  least,  better  reared,  better  edu- 
cated f  The  law  of  supply  aud  demand 
would  then  govern  their  ownership.  The>se 
who  were  poor  and  had  many  children — and 
poverty  is  proverbially  procreative — would 
sell,  aud  the  rich,  having  few  or  none, 
would  buy.  Woulel  not  matters  thus 
be  equalized  and  the  community  bene- 
fited f  Would  not  children  who 
now  grow  up  ignorant,  r^bSJess,  and  vicious, 
pass  into  the  hands  of  peopleW  means,  able 
and  willing  to  educate  and  reMsthem  prop- 
erly f  An  auction  might  be  held,  for  ex- 
ample, the  babies  carefully  assorted,  and 
offered  in  lots  to  suit  purchasers.  The

battle  of  July  31,  which,  like 
KuneridoH  or  .^.ipem,  was  lost  by  pushing 
sucees;!  too  fai*.  Then,  as  if  that  one  blow 
had  br  )ken  ti  e  r  lain-spring  of  the  whole  in-

All  llis,  hewever,  would  have  mattered 
little  hid  lit  happened  at  any  time  but  the 
present.  Russia  is  still  strong  in  naen  and 
material,  and  the  Western  powers  seem  to 
be  for  the  present  in  no  way  disposed  to  in- 
terfere with  her.  But  now,  in  the  eighth 
month  of  the  year,  with  the  Autumn  rains 
about  to  block  every  Bulgarian  highroad 
with  defenses  surer  than  Osuax  Pasha's,  she 
has  heir  whole  campaign  to  begin  over 
again,  ^oth  in!  Europe  and  Asia.  The 
crescent;  still  floats  over  both  Kars 
and  Erzeroum  Olti,  Varna,  Baya- 
zid,  aro  one  e  more  in  Turkish  hands.  Prince 
MiRSEJ  and  Gen.  Qodrkho,  from  their  camp 
on  the  ridges  of  the  Emireh-Dagh,  look  down 
upon  fez  an  d  caftan  swarming  through  the 
rose  gardei  s  of  Kasanlik.  Gen.  Zimmer- 
MANN",  lyinj  helplessty^  to  the  south-east  of 
impregnabl  j  Silistria,  sees  his  army  melting 
day  by  day  under  the  ravages  of  fever  and 
dysentery.  For  this  year,  at  least,  the 
' '  prom  enad  e  to  Adrianople,"  so  gleefully  pre- 
dicted'jy-htindreds  of  gay  young  subalterns 
barely  four  nonths  ago,  must  be  finally  aban- 
doned, and  all  I  that  the  invaders  can  hope  to 
do — if  indeed  they  can  succeed  in  doing 
even  that-^is  to  drive  across  the  mountains 
the  tvco  Tirkish  armies  which  now  hold 
Easten>sb(L  W^teru  Bulgaria.    Cost  wluit 


Ill-favored,  scrawny,  sickly  babies  would  be 
dull,  perhaps  at  such  a  discount  that  it  might 
be  necessary  to  j)ay  something  to  get  rid  of 
them.  In  that  case,  the  premium  paid  for 
the  likeliest  nurslings  should  form  a  fund 
for  furthering  the  disposal  of  the  un- 
likely. Poor  people  who  could  not  afford 
the  luxury  of  having  children  (there  are  no 
such  people,  of  course,  because  extreme 
poverty  considers  suoh  luxuries  as  necessi- 
ties) would  thus  be  induced  to  take  other 
people's  children,  and  would  have  the  means 
to  start  a  vicarious  family. 

Now,  everybody  can  imagine  what  happi- 
ness it  would  be  to  rear  such  a  family.  In- 
deed, everybody  must  imagine  it ;  for  hard- 
ly anybody  has  tried  it,  or  is  likely  to  try 
it ;  and  imagination  is  a  great  improve- 
ment upon  experience.  Observing  other 
persons'  children,  their  homeliness,  lack  of 
intelligence,  and  bad  manners,  we  immedi- 
ately imagine,  if  we  are  not  yet  parents  our- 
selves, how  very  different  our  children 
will  be  when  they  come ;  and  we 
anticipate  the  envy  with  which  those  un- 
fortunate parents  will  regard  us  for  the  pos- 
session of  our  potential  paragons.  The 
paragons  having  arrived,  outside  barbarians 
will  be  unable  to  recognize  in  them  what 
we  see  written  all  over  them  in  colors  of 
living  light.  'Those  barbarians  in  turn  will 
imagine  how  totally  unlike  their  offspring 
are  or  will  be  to  ours,  showing  that  imag- 
ination has  every  advantage  of  experience, 
particularly  in  respect  of  progeny. 

The  ineradicable  prejudice  we  have  for 
our  flesh  and  blood  blinds  us  completely ; 
hinders  their  development ;  annoys  our 
associates  extremely.  If  we  had  purchased 
our  children  at  fair  rates,  instead  of  stand- 
ing indebted  to  nature  for  them,  should  we 
not  be  far  less  prejudiced,  more  helpful  to 
them,  aud  less  disaiEreeable  to  our  friends  T

It  is  strange  thftt  the  commercial  considera- 
tion does  not  strike  the  nineteenth  century. 
Its  practical  adoption  is  impossible,  to  be 
sure  ;  but  so  small  a  thin^  as  impossibility 
ought  not  to  interfere  with  a  system  which, 
viewed  from  the  ideal,  would  seem  to  be  so 
eminently  satisfactory. 


STREET  IMVROVEMENTS. 

We  referred  the  other  day  to  the  ease  witli 
which  one  feattire  of  the  street  improve- 
ment plan  now  before  the  Board  of  Alder- 
men could  be  carried  out,  and  that,  too, 
without  waiting  to  decide  upon  the  merits 
of  its  other  and  more  costly  branches. 
This  feature  is  the  southerly  extension  of 
Sixth  and  Fourth  avenues  so  as  to  bring 
these  broad  thoroughfares  to  tho  lower  part 
of  the  island,  thus  partly  relieving  lower 
Broadway  of  its  excessive  travel,  while 
also  giving  shorter  routes  for  the  trjinspor- 
tation  of  merchandise. 

Now,  if  the  Board  of  Aldermen  will  look  up 
the  records  of  their  body,  they  will  find  that 
one  specific  and  very  feasible  plan  of  Sixth- 
avenue  extension  was  laid  before  them  a 
dozen  years  ago.  Its  characteristic  feature 
was  the  utilization,  as  far  as  possible,  of  ex- 
isting streets,  partly  for  the  sake  of  econo- 
my, and  partly  in  order  that  no  more  land 
now  buUt  upon,  or  that  is  ever  likely  to  be 
built  upon,  should  be  seized  for  high-svay 
purposes  than  is  necessary.  This  plan  pro- 
posed, beginning  at  the  lower  end  of  Sixth- 
avenue,  to  take  in  either  all  or  portions  of 
Minetta-street,  Minetta-lane,  Hancock- 
street,  Congress-street,  Macdougal-street, 
Clark-street,  Sullivan-street,  and  St.  John's- 
lane.  It  is  accordingly  levident  that  such  an 
extension  would  create  a  much-needed  west- 
side  thoroughfare  between  Hudson-street 
and  Broadway,  besides  rendering  avmSfele. 
for  travel  a  number  of  small  streets  and  al- 
leys that  no^v  are  of  no  service  aud  onlj^  ac- 
cumulate filth  and  garbage. 

The  specific  plan  proposed  was.  starting 
from  the  junction  of  SLxth-avenue  with  Car- 
mine-street, to  cut  through  Hancock-street, 
near  the  comer  of  Bleeeker,  taking  in  con- 
siderable sections  of  Minetta-street  and  Mi- 
netta-lane, and  widening  Hancock-street  on 
the  west  side  to  Houston.  Then  the  new 
thoroughfare  would  absorb  and  widen  the 
narrow  alley  called  by  courtesy  Congress- 
street — ^formerly  Smith — and  proceed  to 
King-street,  and,  cutting  thi-ough  two 
blocks,  would  reach  Vandam  at  the  corner 
of  Macdougal,  which  latter  street  it  would 
widen  on  the  west  side  to  Spring-sti-eet.  It 
would  then  take  in  Clark-street,  widening  it 
on  the  east  side,  and  gi\"iug  it  a  m'dch-ueeded 
improvement,  and  then  proceed  to  the  cor- 
ner of  Broome  and  Sullivan  streets,  and 
along  the  latter,  widening  it  above-  on  the 
west  side  and  liclow  on  the  east,  until  it 
reached  Canal,  cutting  off  the  sharp  angle 
between  the  latter  .street  and  Laight.  Then, 
taking  in  St.  John's-lane  and  widening  it  on 
the  west  side,  it  would  unite  with  West 
Broadway  at  Beach  and  Walker  streets. 
And  thus,  having  reached  a  broad  thorough- 
fare, the  Sixth-avenue  extension  would  be 
t;omplete. 

Now  this,_w6.say,  is  a  plan  proposed  fully 
a  dozen  years  ago  for  eaiT.\i:ig  out  one  fea- 
ture of  the  grand  scheme  which  is  at  present 
before  the  Board  of  .^Vldcrmen,  and  that,  too, 
with  little  expense.  Its  specific  advantages 
were  pointed  out  long  since  in  these  col- 
umns, when  the  question  of  relieving  Broad- 
way came  up.  It  was  then  shown  that ,  the 
buildings  to  be  taken  for  the  new  thorough- 
fare being  mostly  of  vei-y  inferior  sort,  the 
improvement  would  be  at  once  cheap  for  the 
City  and  advantageous  to  the  proper- 
ty through  which  Sixth-avenue  should 
pass.  It  was  also  pointed  out  that 
the  extension  'would  chiefly  be  ef- 
fected by  the  utilization  of  existing 
street  space.  The  objection  that  it  .would 
also  absorb  a  larger  amount  of  private  prop- 
erty than  other  routes  that  could  be  adopted, 
is  fully  met  by  the  fact  that  though  it  might 
absorb  more  in  quantity,  it  would  absorb 
less  in  value,  and  hence  would  be  less  costly 
than  the  other  feasible  routes  of  extension. 

The  sooner,  also,  that  some  such  improve- 
ment on  the  west  side  is  made  the  bet- 
ter. Just  now  all  real  estate  is  down  in 
price.  We  may  reasonably  expect  that 
when  the  tide  of  business  improvement 
rolls  oyer  the  section  thus  described,  costly 
buildings  will  be  put  up  in  some  places, 
making  it  a  much  more  expensive  matter  to 
effect  the  proposed  improvement  a  few 
years  hence  than  now.  It  would  be  a  minor 
advantage  of  this  plan  that  it  would  bring 
some  order  out  of  an  existing  taiigle  of 
streets  quite  confusing  to  the  stranger,  and 
even  to  the  residents  of  other  parts  of  the 
City.  If  better  routes  can  be  proposed  let 
them  be  acted  upon.  One  obvious  disad- 
vantage in  the  plan  we  have  re\-iewed  is 
that  the  new  thoroughfare  would  not  be 
quite  straight — there  would  be  a  few  slight 
turns  in  it.  While  the  gain  in  economy 
may  entirely  justify  such  a  departure  from 
the  rule  of  absolutely  straight  streets,  yet 
the  latter  sort  can  be  secured  for  a  Sixth- 
avenue  extension  with  some  a  Iditional  ex- 
pense. It  is  clear  that,  without  going 
into  any  gigantic  plan  of  reconstruction, 
it  would  be  easy  and  inexpensive  to  carry 
some  of  the  central  avenues  further  south- 
ward, and  so  materially  facilitate  travel  and 
traffic.

The  Cincinnati  Enquirer  of  Friday  prints  a

special  meeting  of  the  Democratic  State  Central  Com-

Among  those  at  present  on  the  ground  are  Hon.  R.

and  Col.  Brown,  of  'Youngfstown.  The  great  bulk  of 
the  committee  and  of  pronunent  gentlemen  will  ar. 
rive  to-morrow.  The  object  of  the  meeting  is  to  take 
counsel  as  to  the  host  method  of  conducting  the  cam- 
paigu,  and  to  ascertain  just  what  oratorical  talent 
can  be  bad  ^ot  it,  and  where  it  can  be  used  to  the 
best  advantage.  It  is  understood  to.night  tnat  there

Bishop  and  the  most  prominent  members  of  the 
State  Central  Comnrittee  on  the  subject  of  Mr. 
Bishop's  assessment  for  campaign  purposes.  Mr. 
Bishop's  idea  is  tliat  any  money  contributed  should 
be  applied  solely  to  and  for  the  purpose  of  carrj'iaie 
Hamilton  County,  which  he  considers  the  central 
point  in  the  contest.'  The  committeemen  indicated 
in  the  company  claim  that  Mr.  Bishop's  nomination 
wa«  made  upon  the  assurance  that  he  would  con- 
tribute an  ample  snm  for  State  campaign  purposes

TALE  ABOUT  CAXDIDATEg  IX  .XEWHA  rEX. 
The  Xew-Havcu  Jmirnul  of  Saturday  says  : 
*•  There  has  been  within  a  few  days  a  goo^l  deftl  ol 
gossip  on  the  streets  as  to  candidates  for  Congress, 
and  things  are  at  a  boiling  point  on  this  questitjn.  II 
was  rumored  yesierdav  that  ex-Mayor  Lewis  wa« 
quietly  at  work  among \insiu*-s,s  meu  with  asstsrancfcr 
of  his  Jeep  interest  in  Xew-Harcii's  prosperitK'  as  a 
maritime  city.  An  auecdote  is  told  itow  t!iat  a  friend 
of  .Senator  Bowers  had  i*eported  to  birn  that  Mayor 
I>ewls  liad  offered  if  sent  to  Congi-s  .  to  proctira

TEE  DEifOCRATIC  STATE  COXrEXTIOX. 

The  Oswego  PaUadium  says  tliat  th';  Demo 
cratic  State  Convention  should  be  held  in  Syracuse  or 
Utica-  Oa  this  point  it  says  :  "  .\u  eifort  will  be 
made  to  call  the  c-^nvention  at  Saratoga,  which  nuchi 
to  faiL  That  is  not  th-^  pla--e  to  hold  .1  Demofratic 
council  in.  Tlie  masses  of  our  partv  are  plain  work 
ing  people,  not  given  to  style  .ind  the  exjienditure 
incident  thereto,  and  at  Scratogn  they  will  be  chargec 
watering-place  prices,  and'  subjected  to  watering- 
place  annoyances.  Besides,  it  is  understood  tliat  the 
comin:!  rotincil  is  to  be  a  Democratic  oSEair  in  reality 
as  well  as  in  name.  It  is  understotwi  tliat  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  party,  as  cliosen  by  the  electors  of 
the  several  districts,  a're  to  con-.'ene  as  a  deliberative

inE  XEW-JERkEf  REPVBLICAXS. 
The  Trenton  Gazette  alludes  as  follows  to  tlie 
meeting  of  the  Xew-Jcrsey  Republican  State  Com- 
mittee in  that  city  on  Thursday  last.  "  There  was  a. 
general  and  fall  di.scassion  of  the  political  outlook  ' 
and  the  approaching  campaign  m  tliis  State.  It  wa* 
decided  to  be  in  no  hurry  ai>out  calling  the  .State  Con- 
vention. Steps  were  taken,  however,  for  an  early 
organizatioii,  and  a  determination  manifestwi  to  do 
everything,  possible  to  secure  a  full  display  of  Ihd 
party  strength  in  the  Gubernatorial  content,  Tlio 
present  .,oommittee  »-Ul  retire  with  the  next.  State 
Convention,  but  it  hopes  to  lay  down  its  office  with 
the  party  in  full  preparation  for  vitrorous  work.  In 
discussing  the  issues  of  the  campaign,  liiene  was  a 
unanimous  expression  of  the  members  in  favor  of  the 
reduction  of  the  rate  of  interest  to  6  iwrceni.,  and 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  State  ConTention  wil' 
adopt  this  as  a  plank  of  its  platform." 

THE  PEXXSYLTaXIA  DEMOCRACT. 

Following  is  the  official  announcement  thai  < 
the  Pennsylvania  Democratic  State  Convention  wiT 
not  again  be  postponed  : 

The  interruption  of  travel  necessitated  the  post- 
ponement of  tlie  Democratic  State  Conventiou  to  the 
22d  of  August.  Recently  some  sincere  and  int«ji:l. 
gent  memt>ers  of  the  party  have  advocated  a  furtlMBr 

Sostpouement ;  but  as  'it  is  solely  a  matter  of  expe. 
iency,  and  not  a  question  preclpltsted  bv  a  anddeit 
emergency,  like  the  late  disturbances  in  the  State,  it 
would  require  the  formal  action  of  the  committee, 
which  could  not  be  bad  in  time  to  give  the  proper  no- 
tice of  a  ciiange.  There  cannot,  tfaerefotre,  o«  any 
ftirtber  postponement,  and  the  convention  will  be 
held  on  the  22d  inst.,  as  recently  directed,  with  tht 
general  approval  of  the  party.

From  Our  Oien  CorrtfpondenL 
Loyo  Bhaxch.  Satrirday,  Ane.  11,  1877. 
"The  Coroner's  inquiry  concem::rrthe  railroad 
<lia*«terat  Oceanport  was  resumed  y.-Pt^-r-^.ay  morning 
at  9  o'clock  at  Lo:i?  Bra-ichviraie,  and  lasted  during 
ftlong  session.    Althoucb  the  iaquiry  had  specific  ref- 
erence to  the  caate  of  <^e!(tli  of  C.  Edwerd  Ver  Mue'oii, 
a  yonng  lad  of  16  years,  oie  of  ih'  vicrims  of  the 
disaster,  it  tranche  1  i:ito  mutter  of  wi'lM-  soopc  and 
a  good  deal  of  imporr.int  testimony  was  fciven  touch- 
ing the  duties  of  the  ra:lw;iy  compnnr  and  the  pro- 
visions made  for  the  eet-ui  ty  of  the  f)i;a]  draw  jrifli^o. 
A  great  deal  of  interest  was  mauit\-toI  i-i  the  pro- 
ceedings, and  all  day  the  vill»5t>  liotol  in  which  rii-s 
Inquest  was  held  was  quit?  crowJeti.    T-ie  opcniuz 
testimony  was  t'lat  of  two  witnosst-s.  Roljert  Valen- 
tine and  Thelbert  Edwarda.  who  ns^ist-^d  to  take  the 
deceased  from  the  wreck  of  the  train,  and  who  testi- 
fied as  to  his  apparent  injuries. 

Mr.  Edward  Price  wns  then  exainia-?d.  ami  testi- 
fied concerning  hia  knowledge  of  tht;  wrwik.  He 
said  that  he  came  down  the  river  in  his  sail-boat  to 
?o  through  the  draw  :  Mr.  Conrow.  the  dra^- keeper. 
said  that  the  train  was  cominjy,  and  that  he  could  not 
go  through  ;  he  afterwartl  s^d,  "  I  ei^'ss  I  can  lot 
yon  through ;''  two  boj-s  then  put  up  red  :log>\  and 
■•itness  took  his  boat  a  little  up  the  rirer  s-^  as  to  >:et 
a  suitable  tack,  with  the  riew  of  passing  t'lrjugh  ; 
on  approaching  tlie  bridge  a^cain  he  saw  th;it  thi*  reel 
flags  had  been  taken  in  and  that  the  draw  wa^  c'los.--d ; 
he  did  not  know  that  any  attempt  had  U-en  madi.*  to 
open  the  draw  ;  the  nest  thing  he  saw  was  the  v^Teck 
of  the  train  :  the  en^ne  appeared  to  get  ovor  safe'./. 
iut  the  second  and  third  cars  toppled  over ;  the  draw. 
he  said,  was  closed  when  he  first  came  to  it  :  tho 
train  was  going  as  fast  as  evtn-  ho  had  seen  it  yo  ; 
witness  then  tenified  to  having  assisted  several  per- 
sons out  of  the  wrecked  train,  and  it  api>ears  that  in 
this  respect  he  rendered  valuable  aid. 

Lewis  White  testified  that  he  came  to  the  draw  in 
a  row-boat :  went  uy  on  the  draw  and  ei:tB:>fU  lije 
house  ou  it  ;  John  Conrow  was  in  there  :  saw  Pricts 
coming  down  the  river  in  hid  sailboat ;  John  --aid  he 
coiild  not  open  the  draw  tor  the  cruin  was  due  :  wit- 
ness lfx>kcd  at  the  clock  ;  the  train  was  d:ic  at  i}:'2% 
at  Shrewsbury,  and  it  was  a  few  minutes  past  that 
time  when  he  looked  :  when  -Pri<;e  arrived  ut  the 
draw  John  said  •■  1  i:uess  I'll  let  him  through  :''  there 
were  some  boys  standing;  around  .-  -he  Sciit  two  red 
tlags — one  to  each  end  of  the  bridge — by  two  boys  ; 
they  had  them  out  wl:en  John  said  '*  brin^  in  those 
flags,  the  train  is  cominz  ;  '  they  brought  the  fla^  in 
and  John  put  them  up  in  the  rsck  and  took  oat  thd 
white  ones  ;  and  the  train  went  over  ;  "  the  first.  ' 
said  witness.  "  I  knew  about  it  was  the 
ncAse  and  the  dnst  :  I  was  looking  up  the 
river  at  the  time ;  in  a  tVw  seconds 
after  the  train  was  off :  I  came  riarht  out  of  the  housd 
and  looked  at  the  draw  ;  the  draw  was  out  of  place 
Clearly  a  foot  :  I  jumped  into  my  boat,  rowed  mound 
to  the  cars,  and  helped  all  I  could;  did  not  sec  the 
deceased  to  know  him  :  could  not*  say  wixether  Johu 
made  im  attempt  to  open  the  draw  when  he  sen:  the 
boys  out  with  the  fiass  :  I  was  not  lookinsi  at  h-tii  .  I 
could  not  say  where -John  was  when  1  came  out  of 
the  house. 

Coroner — Would  that  bnd^e  have  any  play  if  tho 
draw  was  loekrd  .'  A. — I  don  t  know  ;  l' don't  think 
there  is  mach  p!ay. 

To  a  Juror — The  lock  was  open  after  the  train 
went  over  ;   1  did  not  see  it  pi-eviuuslv. 

To  tJie  Coroner — 1  thouglit  the  train  went  a'-ros^ 
the  bridge  taster  than  usual :  I  did  not  see  Courow 
touch  the  hx'k. 

John  Conrow  was  next  examined,  and  teitiiie-l  as 
follows:    1  attend  the  Uceaaport  draw ;  I  wa^  ta*re 
the  day  .the  accident  occurred:  I   came   to   the   nruvv 
as  usual  about  C:40  o'clock:  I  inquired  if  liic   mom-  i 
ing  tr:iius  had  uone  all  riijht.  and  was  told   th:U   tiiey 
had:  I  passed  the  next  trsdn  [the  7  o'cIojI:]  over  my-   ' 
self:  also,   the  ^^itlS  .ind  the  ^:21.    [ta^  expres/r] 
there  was   no  train   airaij)    till   y:'J-i :    Lewis  White 
came  down   somewhat   al'out   9   o'l-iix-k.  and  we  sat  | 
there  talking:  we  *»aw  Price  coniimr  down  the  river.    I 
an»   I  said,  "Weil,  1  can't  let  him   tiirou^h;  '  as  soon 
as  Oapt.  Price  got  near  enough  I  tcM   him   t hut  there  * 
wa;    a  train  coming,    and   that   lie    would    have    to 
wait;      1     looked     and     saw     the     truin    was    be-  '■ 
hind     its     time :    I    said.     "  I    ^ess     I     can    let 
fouihrongh.  Ed:"  I  can  .see  the  train  to  the  R*-d 
Bank  turnpike — I  ffuess   ahont   twij    iail*"S;  I    took    | 
iown  my  rvd  ttajcs.  and  hs  1  went  nut  two  uot<   stood 
by  the  doors;  one  uf  iheui  i^aid,   "  irtve  :ne  the  llag." 
and  I  handed  a  tiu^  to  each  t*oy  :  I    w.-nt   out   lo  lue  I 
key  then   and  waited  till  they   put   the   fiii-;^   up:  I  { 
looked  to  tli^  southward  lir^t!  and  then  l.-iked  lh«  . 
other  way:  I   saw  that  the  train  had  rounied  the  1 
t;nrve  at  the   Red   Bunk   tunipilie:   I    t<»ld    ihem    to 
fetch  in  the  flaps,  that  the  train  was  coming;  I   took 
the  flags  from  them  as  they  came  iu  and  put  tliem   in 
the  rack  where  they  belonged,   and    took    out   the 
white      Sags :      the      train      had       not       at       that 
time     got    to     Little     ^jilver     Station  ;      as     she 
passed      the      station      I      commenced      to      wave 
my      white      flag:       the      next      thing     1      knew 
wns  that  the   first  car  and  engine  passed  as  usual  ; 
when  the  last  cars  rame.  I  heard  a  gratint;  sound,  nuil 
saw  the  splinters  flv  :  I   turner!  my  head  around  and 
iaw  them   *'  piling'^  off  the  bridge  ;    I  threw  my  tiag 
down  and  went  right  to  the  end  of  the  draw,  [the 
south  end.  Jwhere  the  last  car  stood;  I  calied  all  the 
boys  to  gel  their  boats  njuud  as  qoick  as  thev  could  ; 
I  then  got  on  top  of  one  of  the  <.'ars  an"'!   h-i^lped 
to    pull      out      some      persons — three      persons,     I 
think :       everybody      was  '    got        out        of       the 
cars  that  could  be  found  :    then  I  went  back   on   the 
draw  ;   that  was  the  Umi  time  i  noticed  it  ;   the  draw 
was  full  of  passengers  ;   I  examined  it  and  I  saw  that 
the  latch  was  open,   that  is.  about  two^fhirds  open; 
the  lever  that  polls  the  latch   back  was-^about   two- 
thirds  open,  anil  tb«' bridge  was  ahout  lO-iiiches  <tS  -, 
I  think  the  train  was  about  three  or  four  minutes  be- 
hind .  time ;  the  bbys  referred  to  had  ,  tjeen  on  the 
bridge  all  moming.'flshing. 

Coroner — Did  you  examine  the  lock  that  morning  ' 
A. — No,  iSir. 

Q. — laut  it  vonr  duty  to  make  that  examinotion  '. 
A~ — No.  Sir  ;  fkuewthen.  when  we  stopped  the  dravr  , 
we  stopped  it  with  the  lock  .  my  son  is  employed  on 
the  night  watch  :  I  generallv  get  on  about  <  o'clock. 
and  stay  generally  tiU  6:oO,  sometimes  7  o'clock ; 
my  son  then  comes  on  duty  and  stays  all  night  :  I 
nev^r  stop  anybody  coming  on  the  bridge,  and  have 
no  orders  to  stop  anybody  ;  I  did  not  unlocix  the 
dmw  that  morning ;  I  had  no  way  of  knowing  that 
it  was  locked  except  that  the  trains  had  parsed  over 
to,  and  that  when  the  bridge  is  shut  it  is  locked  :  the 
Abridge  has  lei^h  wise  a  play  of  about  an  inch  and  a 
half,  but  nono  laterally ;  the  key  Is  about  four 
Inches,  probably  more. 

Coroner — Would  the  draw  stand  in  its  right  position 
if  it  was  unlocked  /  A. — Ves,  but  if  it  was  locked  it 
:otiId  not  stand  out  of  place  ;  1  did  not  mysolf  tou^ 
the  lock,  and  nobody  &ise  could  have  done  it  at  that 
Lime. 

Q. — Can  boys  unlock  that  draw  ?  A. — Yes,  a  boy  G 
fears  old  could  open  it:  a  little  boF  could  not  get 
•ne  hand  aronnd  the  spring,  and  would  have  to  use 
both  hands :  it  would  take  three  minutes  to  open 
uid  shut  the  draw  and  take  down  the  fi:*gs. 

To  a  Juror — 1  never  had  anv  orders  from  the  coni- 
pany,  except  not  to  open  the  draw  for  ijleasiire  bf«at> 
tn  train  time,  but  to  open  it  foi  reiristtred  boats  ; 
registered  boats  have  the  right  of  way  ;  I  hsrrt:  often 
;aken  my  flags  out  and  put  them  up  again  if  i  saw 
^e  train  had  time  to  pass. 

To  the  Coroner — I  don't  think  therv  was  any  young  , 
man  in  bin©  dress  on  the  bridge  that  morning.  '  f 

To  a  JnroT — AJfter  the  bridge  is  lot- k»*d,  I  don't  ' 
thlnfc  a  train  could  throw  the  lock  vc\. 

To  another  Juror— I  can  move  tho  draw  without  ( 
key  or  lever,  by  standing  down  on  the  abutment,  but  i 
not  on  the  bridge.  j 

To  the  Coroner — The  track  was  straight  when  the. 
engine  went  across  :  it  was  the  rear  cars  thsr  thrtw 
it  out  of  place ;  I  never  touched  the  lock  when 
Price  came  idong  in  his  boat ;  I  wasn't  in  the  lets', 
aieited,  for  I  had  no  occasion,  hai-in^  plenty  of  tin:e. 

To  a  Juror— I  had  the  key,  but  never  nut  it  on. 

To  another  Juror — I  am  satisJied  that  the  draw 
was  unlocked,  but  who  did  it  I  can't  say  ;  some  bo> 
tuay  have  touched  the  lever  out  of  euriosiiy : 
I  often  saw  them  do  it,  but  always  forbude 
ihem ;  it  was  possible  for  a  person  to  tamp^-r 
with  the  lock  while  I  was  there ;  anybody 
:ould  have  done  it ;  I  don't  know  that  it  is  my  duty 
io  watch  that  lock  ;  I  am  satisfied  that  boys  shftul'd 
aot  be  allowed  there,  .but  I  had  no  authority  to-pat 
chem  off  ;  I  never  allowed  l>oys  to  lock  or  unlock  trie 
bridge;  it  locks  with  a  spring,  which  anybody  can 
Dpen  ;  we  call  it  a  lock  because  it  hjcks  the'bridge  ;  I 
have  seen  a  long  train  pass  over  the  bridge  when  it 
was  tmlocked  ;  the  ice  prevented  it  ■  beini;  i'>"ked  on 
that  occasion,  and  the  engineer  went  over  slowly  ;  a 
short  tmtn,  I  don't  think,  could  pass  over. 

Dr.  Chattel,  of  Long  Branch,  wfa*-attendeu  the  de- 
ceased, was  next  examined,  and  testified  concerning 
the  injtiries  which  caused  his  death;  Tlie  jnjnr>' 
which  he  received  on  the  spine  was  of  itself,  witness 
said,  sufficient  to  caose  death. 

Bartholomew  Slurtagh,  trackroastor  of  the  Ceu- 
^tral  Railroad  of  New-Jersey,  testified  amuug  other 
matters  that  John  Conrow  was  under  his  cl;arge. 
Conrow's  duty,  he  said,  was  to  se«  that  the  Oceun- 
' port  draw  was  in  shape.  <Tenemi  instructions  wert 
'  coxomnnlcated  to  Conrow  through  an  assi.'^tant.  tie 
had  personally  delivered  to  Conrow  the  printe<I  rules 
connected  with  the  road.  In  respect  to  the  coTiditio/: 
of  the  draw  after  the  accident,  he  lesiided  that  it 
•  was  all  right  when  he  got  there.  The  lock,  he  .---aid, 
eoold  not  come  unlocked  of  itself.  The  locks  on  t)iu 
draws  of  the  other  bridges  on  the  Un*^  were  pretiy 
nmeh  on  the  same  prlncdple,  that  is,  tliey  closet,  with 
«  spring.  In  hia  opinion  the  bridge  was  not  locked. 
•ad  that  was  the  cause  of  the  train  getting  off.  The 
>uridge  could  only  become  unlocked  by  some  person 
xnlockixig  It. 

JeT«miah  T.  Dunham,  the  engineer  of  the  wrecked 
Crafai,  deposed  that  he  answered  the  signal  ot  th<- 
IraW'teader;  the   engine,   he   thought,  went   on  tho  . 
Sxaw  all  rij^t  nntU  it  came  to  the  south  end ;  then  he  [ 
found  It  becin  to  bounce;  he  sliut  the  engine  o£f  and 
applied  thebrake;  the  engine  ran  to  the  end  of  the  j 
bnd^,  and  then  turned  ov«r.    The  first,  said  \vi^ne<>s.   i 
I  knew,  was  that  I  was  on  the  ground,  with  the  hot  ' 
iratsr  flying  all  over  me ;  I  got  up  and  bc^n  to  look 
For  my  nreman,  whom  I  found  on  the  opposite  side  . 
of  tlM  track  washing  the  blood  from  his  head ;  I  then 
wast  back  on   tba  c«rs  iztd  helped  to  talce  some 
at  tha  TMMMmiin  ovte  wbsm  I  ««nt  back  on  $ha  1 


draw  I  saw  It  was  from  six  to  eight  :  nches  otxt 
of  place ;  I  looked  at  the  ratchet  and  saw  that 
the  lover  was  about  two-thirds  of  the 
way  over  :  I  made  np  ray  mind  that  the  iraw  had 
been  left  unlocked  ;  1  looked  for  the  draw-t  ender,  but 
conld  not  find  him  ;  I  subsequently  met  ^e  draw- 
tendsT,  and  told  him  that  he  gave  me  a  wh  to  signal ; 
be  said  he  did.  and  told  me  that  he  thoughi  ^^me  of

his  eaminiES.  The  greater  part  of  the  money  tiba  In 
$1  bills.  Moran  was  boaiding  at  the  time  at  the 
comer  of  Second-avenue  and  Stxty-third-dtrw  t,  and 
occupied  a  room  with  Arthur  Lynch.  On  t  le  day

house,  saying  that  he  was  going  to  N  wark, 
and  would  return  in  two  or  three  '  reeks. 
Moran  suspected  Lynch,  and  hn\-ing  tracec  hira, 
learned  that  he  had  bought  a  ticket  for  Omiah  u  pay-

defection:  of  |Mtne.  Pattl  by  retaining  Mile.  Albani 
for  the  Paris  I  Italian  Opera.  But  M.  Escudier  has  at 
present  no  Cause  to  fear,  as  Mme.  Pattl  will  sign 
nothing,  not  eyen  the  renewal  of  her  engagement 
with  Mr.  Gye,  dntil  her  lawsuit  is  decided  in  Paris. 
Mr.  Strakosch  Aid  not,  after  all,  leave  for  Paris,  re-

COLLECTOR  FREELANDS  CASE. 
Nobody  seems  to  know  when  the  charges 
against  Collector  Preeland.  of  Brooklyn,  are  to  be 
investigated.  Tho  whole  affair  appears  to  be  in  a 
ridlcnlou8|mnddle.  and  everj-tKMly  concerned  in  It  Is 
doing  liis  best  tq  avoid  or  mislead  newspaper  repre- 
sentatives so  that  the  public  may  be  left  in  ignorance 
of  the  true  state  of  affairs.  Some  days  ago  Air. 
Brooks,  of  the  Swiret  Service  Bureau,  was  sent  on 
here  from  Washington  to  examine  the  records  of 
Mr.  Preeland's  oflSre.  He  immediately  established 
friendly  relations  with  the  accq^ ed  Collector  and  his 
deputy,  Mr.  Boone,  but  ho  has  not  yet  taken  any* 
formal  steps  to  ascertain  the  truth  or  falsity  of  the 
accusations  against  Mr.  Freeland.  Mr.  Brooks, 
.  when  asked  yesterday  if  he  would  proba- 
bly take  any  definite*  action  to-morrow,  said 
he  really  could  not  »ay.  It  is  certain, 
however,  that  the  newspapers  will  not  be  repreaentr 
ed  at  the  ex-imination,  Mr.  Brooks  appearing  to  be 
even  more  anxious  to  exclude  reporters  than  either 
Mr.  Freeland  or  Mr.  Boone.  Mr.  Brooks  visited  the 
Collector's  office  yesterday  mominc,  but  it  does  not 
appear  that  anj-thing  startling  resulted  from  the  call. 
Several  efforti*  were  made  to  find  Mr.  Freeland  or 
Mr.  Boone,  but  they  were  neither  at  home  or  at  tho 
Collector's  offlccj  ft  is  pretty  generally  nnderstood 
in  Brooklyn  that  Mr.  Freelana  will  eventually  be  re- 
moved, notwithstandinic  the  jjowerful  advocacv  and 
support  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher.  and  that  probably 
Gen.  Hayes  will  be  appointed  in  his  stead.

SEYEXTEEXTB  WARD  REVUBLICAXS. 
A  special  meeting  of  tho  Seventeenth  Ward 
Republican  Association  was  held  la-st  night  at  No. 
'3ii5  Bowery,  Mr.  Julitis  Harberger,  the  President,  in 
the  chair.  The  meeting  was  called  for  the  purpose 
of  receiving  the  resignation  of  the  Corresponding 
Secretaty.  Mr.  Cornelius  Savage,  a  clerk  in  the  New- 
York  Post  Office,  who  severed  bis  connection  with 
the  organization  in  obedience  to  the  President's  late 
order.  The  Executive  Committee  was  empowered  to 
select  some  one  to  fill  the  vacancy  thus  created,  and 
thev  chose  Mr.  John  Donahue,  who  was  elected  accord- 
ingly. C.  O.  Baese  offered  resolution.s  in  reference  to 
the  President's  order,  "asking  a  graceful  submission 
to  it,  although  it  might  appear  to  operate  oppresivoly 
and  unjustly  in  sonie  wav,  debarring  a  certain  class 
from  pri\-ileces  all  are  supposed  to  enjoy.  It  was, 
however,  a  part  and  parcel  of  the  'now  policy'  now 
on  trial."    The  meeting  then  adjourned. 


A  SERIOUS  JSTABBIXG  AFFRAY. 
As  John  Rooney  was  entering  the  hall  of  his 
residence,  No.  210  East  Twenty-ninth- street,  late  on 
Friday  nlglJt,  he  met  two  strange  men  loitering  at 
the  door.  He  asked  them  what  they  were  doing 
there,  and  one  of  them  told  him  it  was  none  of  his 
business.  The  other  said  they  were  there  to  buy 
some  furniture.  Rooney  remarked  that  the  time 
was  too  laiejfor  businesR  of  that  kind.  Subsequently 
a  fight  occurred  between  the  three,  in  the  course  of 
which  Rooney  was  veiy  dangei-ously  stabbed  in  the 
left  side.  |He  was  taken  to  Bellevue  Hospital, 
where  he  lay  in  a  very  critical  state  late  last  night. 
The  Police  of  the  Eighteenth  Precinct  searched  for 
his  assailantls  all  day,  and  were  rewarded  last  night, 
when  they  succeeded  in  arresting  Michael  Roach,  of 
Third-aventie  and  Twenty-fourth-street,  and  James 
Reagan,  of  No.  105  Third-avenue.  It  is  positively 
stated  that  Reagan  and  Roach  are  the  men  who 
assailed  Rooney.

PHASES  OF  SOUTHERN  LIFE. 


A  KENTUCKY  SCANDAL. 

A  COLORED  COLONT  POHCED  TO  REMOVE 
FROM  THE  STATE  BBCAXJSE  OP  THE  MIS- 
DEEDS OP  A  TOTTNG    MULATTO  AND  THE 

,   WHITE  Wife  of  a  wealthy  fabmeb. 

From  the  Omctnno^i  Comutereial,  Aug.  8. 
Quite  recently  special  telegrams  were  received 
giving  a  sensational  account  of  a  curious  scandal  at 
Campbellsbnrg,  Henry  Coimty,  Ky.,  about  60 
miles  from  this  city.  The  scandal,  according  to  the 
telegraphic  story,  resulted  from  the  discovery  of  a 
criminal  intimacy  between  the  wife  of  a  wealthy  and 
respectable  white  farmer,  living  about  a  mile  from 
Campbellsbnrg,  and  a  yoting  mulatto  farmer,  living 
in  that  neighborhood,  whose  name  is  Smith  Reed. 
It  was  ftirther  alleged  that,  upon  the  discovery,  the 
chivalrous  rotujh-riders  of  the  neighborhood  organ- 
ized into  a  band  of  nearly  20O  strong,  and  forced  all 
the  negroes  living  in  that  vicinity  to  leave  the  State 
of  Kentucky  at  once,  under  pain  of  death.  About  18 
persons,  men,  women,  and  children,  were  banished 
m  this  way.  and  had  to  leave  behind  them  their 
household  goods,  furniture,  farming  implements, 
horses,  and  other  stock,  and  their  standing  crops. 
The  whole  story  was  not  told,  however,  by  tlio 
special  correspondent,  as  a  reporter  for  the  Coin- 
mereial  discovered  last  evening,  by  interviewinc 
several  of  the  fugitives  who  have  found  refuge  in 
CincinnatL 

The  victims  of  thtf  decree  of  banishment  consisted 
of  seven  men,  with  women  and  children  to  the  num- 
ber of  eleven.  These  were  Smith  Reed  and  wife, 
Frank  Reed,  his  wife  and  children.  James  Garrett, 
wife  and  children.  Allen  Scott,  Charles  Perry,  Nel- 
son Ganlt,  George  Oliver,  his  mother  and  several 
brothers  and  sisters.  All  these  colored  folks  lived 
within  about  a  mile  of  Campbollsburg,  and  all,  ex- 
cepting Gault  and  Perrj*,  were  related.  They  either 
•owned  or  reuted  good  farms,  and  were  doing  well. 

Smith  Reed  was  the  chief  object  of  wrath  and  the 
principal  cause  of  the  whole  trouble.  Ho  had  been  a 
slave  of  old  James  CampbelL  one  of  the  Henry 
County  pioneers,  and  was  "raised  "  with  the  wife  uf 
the  vounger  James  Campbell,  now  Alice  Campbell. 
As  children  the  white  girl  and  the  mulatto  boy  were 
very  affectionate  playfellows,  and  after  bn'h  had 
grown  up  and  were  married  they  continued  to  be  ou 
rather  friendly  terms,  considering  differences  of  color 
and  starion.  Finally  some'  scandalous  whispers 
circulated  to  the  effect  that  Mrs.  Campbell  and 
Snuth  Reed  were  too  Intimate.  Smith  Reed's  wife 
got  angry  and  caused  a  great  deal  of  mischievous 
gossip,  which  at  last  came  to  tho  ears  of 
James  Campbell,  He  evidently  disbeheved  the 
story,  but  Informed  Reed  that  if  there  wa.s 
any  more  gossip  he  would  hold  him  and  his 
wife  responsible  for  it.  Reed,  however,  kept  on 
talking,  and,  finally,  spoke  of  his  relations  with  Mrs. 
Campbell  in  a  decidedly  dishonorable  way.  At  last 
the  whole  thing  came  to  a  chmax  during  the  early 
part  of  last  week.  Reed  lounged  up  to  Campbell's 
farm-house,  and  asked  to^see  Mrs.  Campbell.  A 
white  servant  girl  informed  him  that  Mrs.  Campbell 
and  a  young  Kentucky  farmer  named  Asher  had 
locked  themselves  into  a"certain  room.  He  seems  to 
have  been  jealous  enough  to  wait  about  until  the 
couple  reappeared,  and  even  then  refused  to  go  away 
until  driven  away.  He  went  off  talking  in  such  a 
style  that  it  was  eWdent  he  intended  to  make  trouble., 
Mrs.  Campbell  sent  the  hired  girl  away  likewise,  it  is" 
said  for  s^^ety's  sake. 

According  to  the  statement  of  the  fugitives,  Asher 
at  once  started  a  sort  of  crusade  against  Smith  Reed 
and  tho  other  colored  folks,  and  early  last  Saturday 
morning  rode  down  to  the  iatms  with  about  lOO 
armed  and  mounted  men  behind  him,  whose  numbers 
rapidly  increased  as  they  proceeded  from  one  farm- 
house to  another.  They  surrounded  Smith  Reed  s 
place  first  of  all.  and  Reed,  who  tried  to  escape  over 
the  back  fence,  was  instantly  shot  at  by  abrmt  a 
dozen  horsemen,  several  of  the  balls  cutting  his  cloth- 
ing. He  surrendered  quietly,  and  some  of  the  mob 
S reposed  to  lynch  him.  After  some  argument  it  was 
ecided  not  to  injure  him  on  condition  that  he  should 
at  once  leave  the  State. 

Frank  Reed,  his  brother.  Allen  Scott.  Nelson  Gault. 
James  Garrett,  aud,  indeed,  all  the  colored  farmers  in 
the  neighborhood  were  at  the  same  time  seized. 
George  Oliver  and  Charles  Perry,  who  were  thrashing 
at  a  wrra  two  miles  from  Campbellsburg.  were  sent 
for  and  brought  back  on  horseback.  Then  the  seven 
men-were  t^dcen  to  the  Louis\*ille  Short  Line  Depot  at 
Newbnrg.  Tickets  were  purchased  to  Cincinnati  for 
them,  and  they  were  ordered  to  jump  on  board  and 
never  come  back.  Some  were  offered  tickets  to 
either  end  of  the  road,  but  the  purchasers  did  not 
hesitate  to  observe  that  they  preferred  the 
colored  folks  should  not  go  by  way  of 
Louisville,  "as  they  might  g^t  to  shootine 
off  their  mouths  thar."  Accordinely,  the  whole 
party  were  shipped  to  Cincinnati,  and  in  the 
evening  the  Vigilance  Committee  sent  their  wives 
and  chndren  after  them.  The  furniture,  horses,  cows. 
hogs,  chickens,  machines,  tools,  and  standing  crops 
which  belonged  to  them  had  to  be  left  behind,  aud 
they  are  trj'ing  to  find  some  way  to  dispose  of  them. 
James  (farrett.  we  believe,  had  45  acres  of  com  and 
six  acres  of  tobacco  in  prime  condition.  The  leader 
of  the  whole  business -.ppears  to  have  been  Asher, 
but  the  colored  people  state  that,  excepting  the  shoot- 
ing at  Smith  Reed,  the  mob  offered  no  one  violence 
and  used  no  abusive  threats.  The  banished  people 
seem  to  feel  small  sjTUpathy  for  Smith  Reed,  but  are 
indignant  that  the  punishment  of  his  conduct  should 
have  l)een  visited  on  the  whole  colored  community  at 
Campbellsbuig,  and  are  anxious  to  know  if  any  legal 
steps  can  be  takentoward  recovering  their  pro'peny.

IX  THE  JAWS  OF  AX  ALLIGATOR. 
.  The  New-Orleans  Democrat  of  tlie  7tU  inst. 
sa\-s  :  "  At  Lake  Charhi.^.  ia  the  Parish  of  Calcasieu, 
a  few  days  sinee.  a  most  exciting  scene  was  witnessed 
by  a  number  of  people  oh  the  short-.  Some  lads, 
among  whom  was.  a  boy  named  WUliam  Haskell, 
were  in  l;«thing.  vihen  the  i;itei:Ii"ij  »ff  all  wore  at- 
tracted to  the  cries  of  the  latter,  and  an  alligator  was 
seen  swinnniug  in  the  direction  of  him.  Tiic  little 
boy.  nut  perf'-'iving  the  approach  of  the  saurian, 
dived,  and  just  a.s  he  n'.ached  the  surface  the  oi>en 
jaws  received  him.  The  alligHtf»r  drove  his  teeth 
almost  thcouijh  the  boy'»  sicull,  making  several 
wounds  in  the  scilp  three  in'-lies  in  length.  Tlte 
boy's  comrades  ru»^hed  into  th"  water  and  began  a 
leud  outcry,  when  the  alliirator  let  go  his  hoUl  and 
disappeare<l.  The  littie  fellow,  although  seriously 
injured,  will  probably  live." 


WHAT  THE  PEOPLE  OP  THE  TOWN  HAVE  TO 
SAY  ABOUT  IT — THE  NEGROES  DECLARED 
TO  BE  A  BAD  LOT  AND  THEIR  EXPUL- 
SION JUSTIFIED. 
The  Louisville  Courier-J&urtwl  priutS  a*  state- 
ment purjwrting  to  come  from  a  number  of  citizens 
of  Henry  County.  Ky.,  and  intended  to  refute  the 
slanderous  story  concerning  the  expulsion  of  the  ne- 
groes as  printed  in  the  Cincinnati  papers.  They  deny 
in  toto  the  accusations  of  misdoing  ou  the  part  uf 
Mrs.  Campbell,  and  defend  the  unceremonious 
ouBtihe  of  the  black  community  of  which  Reed  wa.*^ 
a  memoer  on  the  ground  that  it  was  composed  of 
suspected  characters.  They  say  :  "  Mr.  Campbell 
has  never  had  the  least  suspicion  of  wrong  on  tlie 
part  of  his  wife,  nor  is  it  true  that  Mr.  Campbell 
gathered  his  neighbors  and  friends  during  Friday 
night  ;  but  it  is  true  that  his  neighbors  (unknown  to 
him  until  he  was  requested  to  come  and  tell  his 
grievances)  did  hold  a  meeting  Friday  night  aud 
counsel  together  as  to  the  best  plan  of  action.  The 
citizens  of  this  community,  one  and  all,  claim  to  be 
subject  to  the  law  of  the  land,  and  propose  to  meet  all 
emergencies  with  a  cool  and  calm,  deliberation.  At 
that  meeting  of  neighbors  aud  friends  it  was  decide<I 
that  the  best  way  to  prevent  bloodshed  was  to  drive 
the  scoundrel  out  of  the  State,  and  consequentlv  de- 
termined to  collect  as  large  a  bodv  of  the  best  citizens 
as  possible  on  Saturday,  and  let  Reed  and  all  his  rel- 
atives know  that  they  -  could  not  longer 
live  in  the  community.  On  Saturday  morn- 
ing from  150  to  200  persons — the  bc-t 
citizens  of  the  community — collected,  and  resolved 
to  give  them  the  choice  of  two  propositions:  First,  to 
leave  the  State,  never  to  return.  Second,  to  remain 
and  take  the  consequences.  They  chose  to  gu, 
and  it  was  decided  to  send  them  on  the  5  P.  il. 
train.  But  the  excitement  became  so  great  that 
their  lives  were  in  danger,  and  they  were  imme- 
diately put  aboard  the  10  o'clock  train  gointi 
east,  well  knowing  that  they  would  not  dare 
to  stop  south  o^  the  Ohio.  This  community  has 
shoivn  by  her  actions  that  she  is  always  ready  to  de- 
fend virtue,  and  no  man,  be  he  white  or  black,  can 
remain  iu  this  community  and  seduce  or  attempt  the 
ruin  of  an  innt>cent.  virtuous  w'oman.  Thi.s  man  Reed 
claims  to  have  "had  criminal  intimacy  with  several 
other  respectable  white  ladies,  both  married  and 
single.  \Vnat  man  with  a  fannly  would  not  turn  out  to 
rid  the  country  of  such  a  wretch  as  he  ?  It  woiJld 
seem  a  white  woman  could  not  speak  to  lum  but  he 
would  turn  around  and  traduce  her  character.  As  to 
the  other  parties  who  wore  sent  witii  Reed,  they 
have  been  lonjr  suspected  tin  dangei-ous.  bad  men. 
Some  of  them  have  been  susj>ectcd  of  knowing  too 
much  about  the  burning  of  certain  property,  thiev- 
ing, and  i)ther  crimes.  Reed  stated  t'  at  he  owned  .50 
acres  of  land,  which  is  false.  He  never  owned  a  foot 
in  his  life,  nor  did  any"bf  the  rest  of  them." 

A  TEXAS  FAMILY  FEVD. 

HOW  A  TREATY  OP  PEACE  WAS  MADE  BE- 
TWEEN THE  HIGGINSES  AND  HORRELLS  IN 
LAMPASAS. 

Correspondence  of  the  Galveston  Xe^vs. 

Austin,  Texas.  Aug.  6,  1S77. 
A  feud  of  not  very  long  standing  has  existed 
in  Lampasas  County  between  .i  family  of  the  name 
of  Higgins  and  a  family  of  the  name  of  Horrell. 
Several  persons  on  each  side  have  been  killed.  The 
Higgins  party  Is  perhaps  tlie  largest  in  the  nimiber  of 
its  family  connections,  but  many  friends  have  raUied 
to  tlie  support  of  the  Horrells,  who,  as  well  .is  those 
immediately  concerned  on  the  Higgins  side, 
aro  admitted  to  be  very  resolute,  active 
and  dangerous  fighting  men.  The  two  parties 
recently  met  at  Lampasas  Springs,  when  a 
ficht  occurred,  and  one  on  each  side  was 
killed  and  others  wounded.  Major  Jones,  of  the 
Frontier  Battalion,  has  for  some  time  been  endeavor- 
ing to  compose  their  difficulty  and  restore  peace.  He 
lately  found  it  necessary  to  make  arrests  of  the  lead- 
ing men  on  each  side,  and  finally  has  effected  a 
peace.  He  thinks  the  men  are.  disposed  to  respect 
the  treaty  made,  as  they  are  brave,  and  should  be 
honorable  as  br.ive.  Arrests  will  effect  no  good  pur- 
pose, as  the  county  judiciary  turn  them  loose  on  bail, 
and  if  the  present  good  understanding  does  not  last, 
he  sees  nothing  in  the  way  of  a  long  and  bloody  feud. 
Following  is  the  treaty  of  peace ;  *

Geijtlemes:— From  this  stand-pKjint,  looking  back 
over  the  past,  with  its  terrible  experiences  both  to 
otirselves  and  to  yoo,  and  to  the  suffering  which  has 
been  entailed  upon  both  of  our  t^^iihes  aud  our 
friends  by  the  quarrel  in  which  we  have  been  in- 
volved, with  its  repeated  fatal  consequences,  and 
looking  to  a  termination  of  the  same  and  a  peaceful, 
honorable,  and  happy  adjustment  of  our  difii- 
culties,  which  shall  leave  both  ourselves  and 
you  all  of  Our  self-respect  and  sense  of  unim- 
paired honor,  we  have  determined  to  take  the  initia- 
tory in  a  move  for  reconciliation.  Therefore  we  pre- 
sent this  paper,  in  which  we  hold  ourselves  in  honor 
bound  to  lay  down  our  arms  and  to  end  the  strife  In  [ 
which  we  have  been  engaged  against  yon,  and  exert 
our  utmost  efforts  to  entirely  eradicate  all  enmity 
from  the  minds  of  oar  friends  who  have  taken  sides 
with  us  in  thia  feud  hereinbefore  alluded  to.    And  ww  1

would  bare  been  inoJSFectaal  after  the  first  coUlsious 
in  tbe  field  at  Hubbardton  and  Fort  Anne,  if  there 
had  been  any  real  military  preparation,   in  the  coun- 
try,  or  if  the  veritable  military  experts,  like  Wash- 
ington  and   Schuyler,    had  bden  listened  to.     The 
Americans  of  1777  did  not  vant  the  truth  any  more 
than  their  descendants  in  1877.    Then  and  now  was 
tme  tbe  words  df  Jeremiah:  **  The  prophets  prophesy 
falsely.    *    *    •    Andmy  people  love  to  have  It  »o." 
Bargoyne  caught  them  unprepared  just  as  tbe  rlot- 
srs  In  Pittsburg  caught  tbe  authorities,   in  the  very 
lame  month,  this,  the  Burgoyne  Centennial  year— 
saoght  them,  as  the  celebrated  Russian  General  and 
sonqueror  who  began  to  demonstrate  hls^owu  great- 
aess  about  lOO  years  ago,    aptly  put  it,  like  "now, 
on  the  head."    Burgoyne   himself   started,    after  so 
many  mouths  of  preparation,  In  many  respects  ab- 
■olutely  unprepared.      His  requisitions  in  Canada 
for  draft  auimals,  bat  or  pack  horses,  and  horses  for 
mounts  had   lamentably  fallen  short-     Wlien.  after 
six  weeks  dawdling,  he   reached    the  Hudson  River, 
his  first  objective,  be  wayilready  short  of  piovlsions 
and  the  meaas  of  bringing  tbem  up.    The  difQcolties 
from  which  be   suffered  had  Jieen   foreseen  even  In 
England,  and  yet  they  had  not  been  provided  for. 

At  tlus  early  date  Connecticut  was  apparently  af- 
Suent  in  liorses  and  cattle.  Burgoyne  was  informed 
^at  be  could  derive  abundant  supplies  from  the  re- 
lion  lying  alon^  the  Connecticut,  and  that  the  Amer- 
icans had  formed  a  depot  at  Bennington.  The 
British  General  was  greatly  under  the  influence  of 
sne  Major  Skene,  a  son  of  little  local  Governor  and 
targ*  land-holJer  in  the  region  at  the  head  of  Lake 
Champlain.  This  person,  like  the  majority  of  his 
class  on  both  sides — like  even  the  large  majority  of 
the  leading  patriots,  aa  well  as  others  of  the  same 
se^— was  a  jwxn  of  narrow  horiion  whare  his  uiCii  in' 
tcTMts  wcn^oncemed.  The^e  meu  were  intelligent

scope  which  needed  the  application  and  backing  of  a 
large  anjiy.  To  accomplish  what  demanded  a  much 
larger  force  tlvau  he  could  furnish,  Burgojnie  de- 
tached a  fraction,  which,  small  as  it  was,  uselessly 
reduced  hn  urri* — nlrcady  too  feeble  for  his  purposes.

Stedman.  the  >  historian  .ind  British  staff  officer,  at 
this  time  with  Com  wallls,  where  he  saw  theaeGermons 
every  day.  says  that  the  hats  and  swoTds  of  the  Ger- 
man soldiers  webebed  very  nearly  as  much  as  the 
whole  equipment  of  one  of  the  English,  and  that  the 
worst  British  regiment  could  with  ease  have  marched 
two  miles  for  their  oue.  Sergt.  Lamb,  In  his 
Memuir,  eorrobomtes  tld^  with  the  remark  that 
the  German  grenadiers  we^Fmuch  worse  off  than  the 
IiDglish  on  account  of  their  cumbrous  armor,

disripUne,  in  the  exaetitnd©  of  its  inexorable  atten-

versely to  their  employment.  It  i«  scarcely  credible — 
but  Stedmau  atte8t!t  it — they  halted  10  times  an  hour 
to  dress  their  ranks  while  marching  tlirough  the 
irocd-i-  UiedcHcl,  frtim  whose  command  the  core

totally  nafit  for  the  attainment  of  the  objects  con- 
tvmpUted.  Major-Gen.  Heath,  United  States  Army, 
fu  his  ''Memoirs,"  (120.)  records  of  the  fight  on 
the  Brandywine  :  "  It  is  said  that  after  the  Hessian 
erenadiers  Inwl  crottsed  th*»  -ford,  (Chad's.)  they 
baited  at  the  foot  of  tbe  hill,  below  the  American!*, 
under  a  warm  fire,  and  with  great  deliberation 
?ltanged  their  hats  (uudross)  for  their  heavv  brass 
caps,  (alludetl  to  by  Ijarab  and  others. )  whicn  were 
curried  by  a  loop  on  a  button  at  the  hip,  and  then

of  the  rarest  tiuality— every-day  common-sense — 
^V«shington  and  Schuyler.  So,  when  Baum 
started  oat  on  his  wild-g«>o56  chase  from  Fort 
Edward  on  the  II th  August,  ytark,  a  man  for  the 
itccasion,  was  already  in  a  measure  prepared  for  him. 
Bfltmi  never  got  to  IJennln;7ton.  which  is  about  30 
miles  soatb-west  of  Fort  Kdward,  whence  he  started, 
iskene  was  a  bad  adviser,  and  the  guide  selected  was 
Qntme  or  incatiable.  Baum  was  taken  In  by  '*  trim- 
mers," who  passed  themselves  off  as  loyallBts,  and 
helped  to  shoot  down  his  troops  with  the  weapons 
and  ammunition  he  furnished  them,  and  when  he  got 
:o  the  Saneoick  Mills,  a  spot  within  sight  of  the  vres- 
pnt  steeples  of  Bennington,  but  from  five  to  seven 
miles  distant,  he  found  that  lie  had  nm  into  a  hor- 
net's nest.  Ho  brought  up  on  the  Walloomscolck  in 
what  is  now  the  towu  of  Hoosic.  in  Rensselaer  Coun- 
tv.  N.  V.  This  stream  is  a  brauch  of  the  Hoosic 
Kirer,  wbic-h  empties  into  the  Hudson  about  15  miles 
north  of  Troy,  so  that  all  the  Burgo>'ne  fights  op- 
curr^  in  the  drainage  valleys  of  our  dear,  noble  old 
Hudson,  and  belong  to  the  peculiar  history  of  the 
glorious  Empire  State. 

As  preWously  stat^MJ,  Baum  set  out  from  Fort 
Fdward.  on  the  Hndson.  on  the  1 1th  August.  He 
was  s  Brunswick  Lieutenant-Colonel  uf  dragoons, 
and  the  nucleus  of  his  force  was  tbe  200  dragoons 
from  his  native  principality,  serving  as  foot,  but  not 
srmed  as  infantry ;  he  had  besides  a  detachment  of 
Hanau  artillerists,  with  two  little  brass  3-potmder 
gun*,  which  tradition  styles  "  grasshoppers;"  Fraser's 
pompany  of  British  ^^ha^p8hoote^s  and  Peters* 
Ix)yalists,  with  a  huddle  of  some  100  to  150  sav- 
ages. Bnrcovue  bid  Baum  good-bye  with  an  a« 
rnoir  nntif  ttey  met  at  Albany,  for  the  laner  was  to 
gobble  Bennington,  cross  the  Green  Mountains, 
■weep  tbe  volley  of  tbe  Connecticut  down  to  Brattle-

was  as  favorable  to  the  Ainerican  tactics  as  it  was

structed the  counter  lefTort.^  of  the  mach  ne-like 
Germans.  Drenched,  hairassed,  teased,  Ir  itated,

position  on  the  night  of  |lbe  .15tli  as  any  %  hlch  H 
technical  soldier  would  avoid  and  prav  nevej  to  be

were  about  as  completely  surruunded  as  the  Ameri- 
cans at  Oriskany.  with  this  differenct  ,  that

Hoosic  or  Bennington  would  have  bad  nc  .marked 
intluence  upon  the  great  result,  whereas  it  Iwas  the 
fact  that  the  latter  followed  Oriskany  that  made  it 
so  potential  in  its  effects:  Oriskany,  altboc  jh  a  side 
issue  as  to  locality,  w^  a  counter  to  a  blow  in  a  di- 
rect linfi.  whereas  Hoosic  was  a  side  l*isue  In  every 
sen.se  of  the  word.  As  far  as  the  pluck  sho^  ti,  there 
is  no  comparison  l>et#eeji  the  two  engageu  ents,  so 
much  superior  wasth^  n^anliuessreouisite  ai  d  shown 
on  the  Mohawk.  "  It  isj  his  [Harkneimer'n  misfor- 
tune to  want  the  powers  of  description,  anc  we  have 
a  most  lame  and  imperfect  account  of  Jie  great 
event."  are  the  words  ojT  a  distinguished  c  tntempo- 
rary,  whereas  Stark'si  narrative  of  bis  ach  evement 
is  elotiuent,  if  not  grandiloquent  in  its  com  [mrisons, 
in  which  he  likens  the  American  &re  to  "a  lontimml 
clapof  thunder,"  and  compares  the  behavi  tr  of  his 
mhu  "  to  those  of  Alexander  or  Charles  of  ,  iwedcn.'' 
TTiousands  are  well  acquainted  with  the  result  of 
Bennington  (whose  proper  name  is  HookIc  or  San- 
eoick) who  have  never  I  heard  of  Oriskanj  because 
New-England  has  wiritpon  our  histories-  "1  was 
broucht  up.'*  said  I)aniel  Webster,  "with  New- 
Knsland  prejudices  against  him,  [L  t.  Jchuyler, 
of  New-iork.]  but  1  consider  him  as  second 
only  to  Washington  in  the  services  he  rendered 
to  the  country  in  j  the  war  of  th  i  Revo- 
lution." These  N'ew-England  prejudices  Ba:tended 
to  everything  which!  ^f^"  "^o*  °^  their  bi  longiitgs. 
The  trophies  of  Bennington  were  tangible,  those  of 
Oriskany  intangible.  But  in  the  result  1  iie  latter 
realized 'the  words  of  9>i.  Paul  when  he  decl  ired  that 
*'The  things  which  are  iseeu  are  temporal  but  the 
things  which  are  not  seen  are  eternal."  Trophies 
perish,  but  the  noble  characteri-otics  of  a   race  dis- 

J)layed  amid  the  chirm  and  tire  of  battle  are  the  ever- 
astine  glory  and  possesion  of  a  people,  and  these  are 
the  peculiar  proportie.-t  of  the  original  set  tiers  and 
owners  of  the  Empire  Siate. 

There  is  a  strohzand  sad  resemblance  between 
Oriskany  and  the  celebrated  battle  of  O  )terbnm, 
(1383,)  which  gave] i-lsi  to  the  famous  "jBalladof 
Che%'y  Chase  "  and  faimfins  illnstrations  representing 
the  widows  and  orphinsi  searching  for  tlieir  dead  and 
wounded,  and  bearing  the  survivors  away  on  litters  : 

"  Titer  was  never  a  tTni  on  the  march  partes

But  yt  was  marrele,  ^nd  tho  red  blude  rotme  not,

Tliis  comparison  between  Oriskany  and  Benning- 
ton ha-s  been  instituted  because  New-Yor  :,  having 
passed,  more  than  o^e  way  and  in  a  great  measure. 
Into  the  grasp  of  these  very  Kew-Eng^rde  rs  and  of 
foreigners,  her  own  lieople  have  forgotten  the  true,

and  Moni-effectivea  which  was  brought  within  the 
province  of  rertainty  between  the  -Mb  and  17th  of 
A«inist.|1777,  was  of  more  ininortance  to  the  world

others  of  a  dj-nasty  and  a  temporarj-  form  «■  f  govern- 
ment. The  fate  of  nations  and  the  destiny  of  the 
worid  hangs  on  apparently  very  insignificant  causes, 
and.  to  human  vision,  often  upon  the  petty  charac- 
teristlcsi  of|  selfish  aud  Intriguing  men.  Bui^yne 
was  a  self-seeking  man,  and  by  the  arts  of  a  courtier 
supplanted  Cnrleton.  Had  the  latter,  "the  Rood 
and  the  grwit, "  enjoyed  the  opportunity  of  making 
and  writimc  a  "State  of  the  Bxt»edition  "  it  would 
never  have  contained  such  an  inexcusable  cotirse  of 
blundering  as  led  to  the  detaching  of  Banm  and  Brey-

*Thepo  are  other  surrenders  notewortliy  In  history,  but 
none  which  ever  had  so  remarkable  an  mfiaence  on  the 
world.  In  simple  particulars  there  Is  one  which  is  al- 
most a  counterpart  to  that  of  Burgoyne.  Tho  "War  of 
the  Spflhlshl  Succession"  was  yet  undeddefl  in  1710. 
After  a  brlUl&nt  victory  at  Almenara,  li7th  July,  and 
again  at  Ssragossa  on  the. 20th  of  Angust  of  that  year, 
Stmhopc,  ucserted  by  hisallieH,  retreated  from  Madrid,

I  I  Fntm  Uie  London  Globe.  July  27. 
Any  lantiqtiarian  who  may  be  in  search  of  a 
place  of  interest,  not  too  far  from  England,  may  find 
it  even  nearer  home  than  at  the  village  which  we 
lately  recommended  on  the  banks  of  the  Lake  of 
Geneva.  !  At  Penhoet.  near  St.  Kazaire.  In  France, 
there  bss  lately  been  discovered  a  harbor  which  Prof. 
Bertrahd,  the  discoverer,  calls  "  Gallo-Romau.  or 
rather  Celtic."  The  vagueness  of  this  description  Is 
not  at  I  the  first  blush  very  encouraging,  but  the 
importance  of  the  place  consists,  as  it 
will  be|  sefEH.  not  In  the  nationality  of  the  goad 
folk  wholbuHt  or  made  the  harbor,  or  even  in  the 
form  o^  cb^pe  of  the  harbor,  or  the  relics  of  humrm 
Industrv  therein  contained.  All  that  have  been 
foimd  \u  the  way  of  relics  seem  to  be  a  bronze 
hatchet,  a  brou:!:e  svrorJ.  a  human  nkull.  and  some 
bones  uf  common  animals.  But  these  boues  were 
imbeddied  l|n  a  layer  of  earth  which  has  engaged  the 
liveliest  dtteutioii  on  the  part  of  the  learned  archeeol- 
oglst.  He  pen-oived,  lu  digging  through  it,  that  it 
wn:t  n>inposed  of  a  great  number  of  separate  strata 
superpbscd  one  upon  another  Ilka  the  braves  of  a 
book.  |Ka(|h  one  of  these  strata  wns  extremely  thin, 
but  was  (jlearly  distinguished  fn>m  Its  neighbor,  and 
each  represents  the  deposit  formed  by  a  stream  of 
water  Irturlug  a  single  year.  Nor  is  this  their  only 
pectillarity.  They  are  not  only  distinctly  Kej*- 
HTBted  from  one  another,  but  they  are  themselves 
divided)  into  separate  parts.  For  tho  moKt  part 
they  ai^  rdun)o>ed  of  thre**  layers^  tlie  fir^t  of  wnich 
w  of  aj  brownish  color,  tho  second  white,  and  tbe 
third  yellow.  The  brown  ones  are  naturally  sup- 
VHisfd  lo  have  been  deposited  in  Autimin,  and  to 
consistjof  ileaves  and  other  vegetable  dt'bris  washed 
down  the,  stream  in  the  Autumn.  The  white  ones 
are  explained  as  being  formed  of  ch;tlky  deposits 
washed  di|wu  by  the  rains  of  the  Spriitg,  and  the 
yellow  I  onf-s  to  be  sandy  depoKitn  maue  In  the 
Summer  t^e.  The  successive  lavers  bein^  thus 
tracealjle  with  certainty,  and  capn'ble  of  bt-ing  ac- 
curately counted,  constitute  a  means  of  <*alculatlng 
esactlV  th!e  lapse  of  years  and  centuries.  As  tJie 
whole  bed Jof  soil  is  some  60  feet  deep,  and  there  are 
at  leati  ICI  of  the  small  strata  Id  every  inch,  It  would 
appearlthiijt  it  must  have  bfgun  to  acctimulate  about 
T.'JOO  years  ago.  The  principle  thus  illustrated  is. 
however,  one  which  ra&y  obviously  bo  applied  in 
many  other  placci  besides  the  Harlror  of  Penho«t.

A  (^HASE  FOR  A  RUXAWAT  WIFE. 

Th(i  Liverpool  Poxt  oC  July  27  narrates  the 
following  interesting  Inrtdeut :  *' Au  elopement  was 
neatlv  prevented  yesterday  afternoon  at  tho  Prince's 
Landing- at  age.  Between  12  and  1  o'clock  consider- 
able dommotion  wan  occasioned  on  the  stage  by  a 
gentleman  In  pursuit  of  a  runaway  wife  and  three 
young  children,  who  were  just  caught  in  the  nick  of 
time  and  previous  to  their  embarkation,  in. company 
with  a  youth,  on  board  the  American  ship  Polvnesian, 
of  the  Allan  Line.  It  appears  that  ou  Wednes- 
day 31r.  Isaac  .Swan,  a  publican  aud  also  a  work- 
ing miner  at  Ashby-du-la-Zouche.  discovered  to  his 
horror  that  liis  wife  and  children  had  left  bis  home, 
the  Navigation  Inn,  accompanied  br  a  young  man 
named  WUliam  ThomiwelJ.  They  nad  takeu  with 
them  a  considerable  amount  of  money,  and  a  silver 
watch,  the  property  of  the  distressed  husband,  who 
had  no  sooner  made  the  discovery  than  he  gave  chase 
to  the  fugitives.  Arri\-ing  in  Liverpool,  he  at  once 
proceeded  to  the  L^ndiug-atage,  where.  a.s  he  anticl- 
pateil,  he  came  across  Ids  *  erring  VPife '  aud  three 
small'  children,  who  were  preparing  for  their 
Transatlantic  trip  with  young  Thomlwell. 
The  aggrieved  husband  at  once  gave  information 
to  the  Police,  and  Detective-Constable  Jones  appre- 
hended tbe  fneitives  and  took  them  to  the  detective 
office.  Tborniwell,  who  is  a  youth  between  19  and 
HO  ve^rs  of  age,  and  a  clerk  In  the  employ  of  the 
Midland  Railway  Company,  was  detained  in  the  Main 
Bride  well  pendijtg  the  arrival  of  the  Police  from  Leices- 
tershire. I  Mrs.  Swan  is  apparently  about  40  years 
of  age,  land  she  presented  a  striking  contrast  to 
Thorniwell,  who  is  a  little  fellow  of  very  bo>*ish  ap- 

Eearubeel  A  recoueillation  has  been  brought  about 
etween  ihe  husband  and  his  wife,  and  in  the  course 
of  the  evening  Mr.  Swan  was  to  be  seen  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  the  detective  office  carx^-ing  his  youngest 
bom  affectionately  In  his  arms,  as  if  notnlng  had 
occurred  to  mar  the  even  tehor  of  his  matrimonial 
exiat^nee."

Kew-York  arid  vjra  Cruz,  Mexico,  with  the  privilege 
of  caUing  at  bno  or  two  ports  or  places  of  loading  on 
the coait, between  Tampico  and  Progreso,  both  in- 
citislve.  "kf  the  terms  of  the  agreement 
no  mi  jrchandis  a  was  to  be  laden  on  board 
the  w^booner  during  -the  voyage  except  by 
the  charterers,  the  latter  engngina;  to  furnish  to 
her  full  dirgoesj  and  to  pay  $4,300  for  her  use 
durine  |the  i  rounjd  voyage,  and  also  to  pay  all  port 
chaises,  pilcitag^-  liehteragc^  Consul  fees,  &c..  at  for-

considered  earned  ana  du»  upon  the  proper  delivery 
of  tho  puter'cargb.  and  was  to  Iw  payable  in  Kow- 
York.  in  United  States  currency,  upoui  the  termina- 
tion of  the  yoysik  except  $40*0.'  to  he  paid  to  the 
master]  at  Y^ra  G"  rux,  in  specie  ;  the  balance  of  which 
was  to  iK'pay^bljfc  upon  proper  delivery  of  the  return 
cargo,  and$i()  iti  gold  was  to  be  paid  by  charterers  for 
each  day's  de|eB  ;ion,  the  cargo  to  be  received  aud 
delivered  alongf  de  the  vesseL  If  more  than  one 
port  should  be  ascd  abroad,  the  time  consumed  in 
cfaangiiig  ports  uj)t  to  be  counted  as  lay  da^s,  and  at 
all  Meiican  p<^rlM  the  time  to  be  30  running  days. 
Also,  no  dauger6ii3  trip  was  to  be  made  in  water  of 
insufficient  dep'i . 

The  owners  jtf  the  schooner  brought  suit  for 
breach  of|  chai^er  iigaiust  the  charterers,  and 
sought  to  reeove;' $4,625  97.  with  Intere  t,  alleeing 
that  in  \ioLatibi^  >f  the  terms  of  tbe  agreement  tbe 
agent  of  tnel  cba^  Lerers  had  induced  tbe  master  to  at- 
tempt to  Hirt>''ft  cargo  of  30  tons  of  fustic  across  a 
bar  at  Alomdao  to  reach  PlacotaJpam  to  secure  an 
additioual ;  caTiio  of  cedar  aud  mahogany.  The  at- 
tempt waift  made  ou  July  5,  1874,  when  tJie  vessel 
grouuded  on  the  bar.  auH  the  maiitar  found  it  impos- 
sible tb  reach  jjFkicotalpam.  He  thereupon  offered  to 
receive  tli!o  additional  cargo  outside  the  bar.  which 
offer,  howjjver,  [the  agent  declined,  and  refused  to 
have  anything  more  to  do  with  the  vessel,  even 
against  thie  j  master  »  protest.  The  master  then  rt'- 
tumed  to  Vetja  ktxxz,  and  unsuccessfully  endeavored 
to  obtjaln  a  hojmjQ  cargo.  He  inu.  therefore,  obliged 
to  nrcrcurel  ball^it  aud  sail  for  Xew.York  with  the 
fustiej  Th^  owiiers  farther  charged  that,  in  addition 
to  not  furuisbliig  a  home  cargo,  the  cliarterera  re^ 
fused  to  pay  pon  charges,  pilotage,  and  demuirage, 
and  that  upon  thb  vessol's  return  there  became  due, 
according  to  I  c](i|rt:er,  $4,300.  aud  seven  days'  de- 
murraffeiat  ^U  per  day,  gold;  $180  in  gold  was  paid 
for  bsJlast,  I  wh^th  the  master  was  obliged  to  pro- 
cure, together  filth  $tj5  40  iu  gold  for  port  charges, 
pilotage,  &c. ,     j  1  i 

The  chailerers  in  their  answer  sey  that  the  master 
could  have  made  thci  puss^'tge  lu  t'lacotalpam,  but  re- 
fused, iu.  violi^tion  of  the  terms  of  tbe  charter,  an  that

waa  made  by  the  company  to  the  following  effect : 
The  company  was  to  waive  its  existing  right  to  re- 
deem at  pleasure  Its  road  from  North  Yarmouth  to 
Portland,  hhdlto  make  it  irredeemable  until  Nov.  1, 
1870,  pro\-We(d  the  holders  of  the  certificates  of  in- 
debtedness would,  by  indorsement  thereon,  author- 
ize the  Trust^s,  after  paying  llie  holders  3  per  cent. 
semi-aunoallyi  upon  tne  amounts  severally  repre- 
sented by  such  certiJicates.  "  to  pay  orer  semi- 
annually to  tl^e  Treasurer  of  tho  company,  for  the  tise 
and  benefit  of  the  company,  the  balance  of  the  In- 
crome  (for  iiiterest)  which  rtie  stockholders  are  now 
entitled  to  receive,  (viz.,  '2  per  cent.,)  to  be  held  by 
him  and  appropriated,  as  far  as  may  be  reqtiired,  or 
as  the  same  ihay  go,  to  the  payment  of  interest  to 
such  pr«jfer]rea  stockholders  as  shall  surrender  their 
old  certificate^  of  stock  aud  receive  new  certificates 
of  preferred  dtock  bearing  3  per  cent,  interest  or  in- 
come semi-annually,  in  lieu  of  5  per  cent.,  as  now 
stipulated,  said  payment  of  3  per  cent,  to  the  holders 
of  said  certificates  and  of  the  balance  aforesaid  to  the 
Treasurer  b>"|  said  Trustees  seml-aimually  to  be  In 
ftill  of  I  the  annual  income  of  10  per  cent,  to 
which  ^aid  certificate-holders  are  now  entitled." 
It  was  ordered  by  the'company  that  if  the  proposed 
arrangement  should  be  made  with  the  North  Yar- 
mouth certiflcHte-holders,  the  fund  thereby  saved 
should  be  applied  in  payment  of  the  dividends  accru- 
ing on |t|i*  neW  certificates  of  preferred  stock,  as  also 
proposed;:  Authority  was  glveu  to  the  President  of 
the  company  {to  Issue  such  new  certificates  of  pre- 
ferred stock,  and  to  waive  tlie  right  to  redeem  the 
North  Yarmouth  Road  until  Nov.  1,  1870.  the  time 
named  in  the  proposition.  None  of  the  holders  of 
the  prefetrea  |  stock  accepted  this  proposition 
until  aept.'*!  1,1  1853.  The  flwt  new  certifi- 
cate bears '  date  on  that  day.  The 
other  certiflcates  were  issued  subsequently. 
On  the  ICth  of  December,  1S53.  tbe  company  or- 
dered 3  perorat.  tVbe  paid,  on  the  1st  of  Janunrv 
then  neect,  tol  all  the  holders  of  the  new  certificate 
for  the  preferred;  itoc^  Tbe  company  became  hope- 
ThaTmsteos  oi  the  second  mort- 
aottgass.    Th*  f oreclostoa  waa 


perfected  and  became  abtolst*  la  May,  1862.  In 
Norember,  1862,  the  bondholders  imd«rthat  mort- 
gage formed  a  new  corpomtlon  by  the  name  of  tha 
Portland  and  Kennebec  Company.  The  Tnuteea 
conveyed  to  this  company.  The  company  went  into 
IK»)iesslon.  and  has  sinc«  been  in  possession  and 
operated  the  read  and  claimed  to  own  it.  This  blU 
is  tiled  by  the  complaiuanis  as  holders  of  ^he  aSw 
certificates  of  preferred  stock  for  themselves  and  in 
behalf  of  the  other  holders  not  before  the  court. 
The  claim  is  to  recover  the  4  per  cent,  per  annum  re- 
linquished by  the  North  Yarmouth  holders  of  certifi- 
cates of  indebtedness,  pursuant  to  the  proposition  of 
tlie  original  company,  and  which  proposition  was 
also  to  give  to  the  holders  of  the  new  certificates  of 
preferred  stock  what  is  claimed  by  this  bill.  The 
decree  dismissed  the  bill,  and  is  here  affirmed,  the 
court  finding  the  proceedings  regular,  and  that  there 
was  no  privity  between  the  complainants  an3  the 
new  corporation,  and  that  the  latter  did  not  sncoeed 
to  the  liabilities  of  the  old  corporation.  Mr.  Justice . 
Swayne  delivered  the  opinion.

into  the  premises  of  Mr.  Adolfo  Diaz,  of  Ko.  213 
East  Thirteenth- street,  on  the  night  of  the  3d  of 
August.  They  forced  open  the  basement  door, 
smashing  two  panes  of  glass,  thus  gaining  admittance. 
After  making  a  quiet  Inspection  of  the  Interior  of  the 
building,  and  not  aronsii^  any  of  its  Inmates,  they 
cooly  decamped,  taking  with  them  a  silver  watch  and 
chain  worth  $30.  and  some  mone^*,  including  bank 
notes,  bills,  &c..  to  the  amount  of  $70.  Officer  John 
Keims.  of  the  Fourth  Precinct,  found  the  watch  iu 
the  possession  of  Martinez,  who  admitted  that  he  was 
iu  tbe  building  on  tbe  night  the  burglary  occurred, 
but  Said  that  be  himself  didn't  steal  anything,  and 
that  he  got  the  watch  from  Reclo.  Mr.  Diaz  made 
complidnt  against  both  parties  yesterday,  at  the 
Touibs  Police  Court,  before  Justice  Smith.  The 
prisoners  were  held  iu  $2,000  ball  each.  Martinez 
is  a  printer,  aud  lieclo  makes  cigars,  and  they  both 
live  at  No.  13  Catharine-street. 


BELD  FOR  ASSAULT  AXI>  BATTERY. 

Patrick  Shaw,  a  blacksmith,  of  No.  125  West 
Fortyninth-streot,  was  taken  before  Justice  Flanuner, 
in  the  Fifty-seventh-Street  Police  Court,  yester- 
day, chai^ged  with  assault  and  battery  upon  Anion 
7Yoasch.  The  complaint  is  that  on  Friday  afternoon, 
between  6  and  7  o'clock,  the  defendant,  without  prov- 
ocation,  beat  Treasch  upon  the  head  with  an  iron 
instrument.  A  certificate  from  the  House  Surgeon 
of  St.  Luke's  Hospital  was  presented,  stating  that 
Treasch  was'iiot  yet  considered  out  of  danger,  and 
could  not  appear  in  court.  Daniel  McCaHlster,  an 
employe  of  the  defendant,  testified  that  Treasch 
chased  a  bov  Into  defendant's  sliop,  and  began  beat- 
ing him  with  a  whip  and  kicking  Mm  brutally ;  that 
Shaw  interfered,  and  waa  struck  on  the  head  by 
Treascli  with  the  handle  of  the  whip,  whereupon 
•Shaw  struck  Trvasch  with  a  pair  of  iron  tongs  with 
which  he  waa  workine.  The  defendant's  story  waa 
to  the  same  effect.  He  waa  committed  to  await  the 
result  of  Treasch's  Injuries.

SEXTIitEXT  IX  CATTARAVGTTS. 
The  Cattaraugus  Bepublican  prints  an  extract 
from  a  letter  from  one  of  tho  leading  Bepublicans  of 
that  county,  in  which  the  writer  says  :  "  The  princi- 
ples of  the  Republican  Party  are  jtist  as  eloriotis 
now  as  they  were  from  1361-5,  when  millions  of  us 
left  the  endearments  and  comforts  of  home,  and  iif- 
dured  in  our  persons  the  hardships  and  privations, 
and  sufferings  and  fatigues  of  army  life,  and  faced  the 
perils  of  the  battle  field  to  establish  and  uphold  these 
principles.    Just  as  gloriotis  as  They  were  when  it 

struck  the  shackles  from  five  millions  of  slaves — 
just  as  plorious  us  when  these  four  million  former 
bondmen  and  bondwomen  were  enfranchised  by  it, 
and  made  citizens  of  the  United  States,  equal  before 
our  laws,  as  they  are  equal  before  the  promises  of 
the  (jcspel,  for  the  good  things  of  this  life,  as  well  as 
the  life  to  come.  Just  as  glorious  and  worthy  of 
support  now  as  they  have  beeu  at  auy  time  during 
the  last  '20  years.  VThen  we  as  Republicans  have 
made  the  brightest  page  In  the  h&tory  of  the 
human  rare  for  great  and  noBle  deeds, 
is  it  well  or  becoming  for  Republicans 
now  t-o  forgpt  and  turn  away  from  this 
jjrand  record  /  The  mission  of  the  Republican  Party 
i>  not  accomplished  until  all  the  promues  of  the  Gov- 
erunit-nt  an?  faithfully  redeemed  and  fulfilled,  aud 
our  plighted  faith  shall  stand  before  the  civilized 
world  as  "Yea  and  amen.'  Until  all  are  equal  in 
rights  before  our  Ijord,  and  the  riehts  of  all  are 
equallv  protected  by  the  law.  I  am  fully  persuaded 
that  t^e  Republican  Party  will  not  falter  because 
President  Hayes  has  betrayed  his  trusts,  but  will 
keep  right  on,  neither  lookine  to  the  right  nor  to  the 
left,  and  ne%'er  lowering  the  tiaimer  under  which  it 
has  pert'ormed  Its  great  work  and  won  its  noble  vic- 
tory. In  such  times  as  these  the  *  Old  Guard ' 
should  not  falter,  but  keep  right  on, 
ne  ver  for  a  moment  beedine  the  cry  of 
the  'Lo!  here'  of  the  greenback  chaps,  or  the 
'  Lo  I  there '  of  any  other  chaps.  The  old  faith 
should  be  our  shibboleth.  'Touch not,  taste  not.*  I 
hope  to  be  at  your  place  soon,  but.  meantime,  let  me 
hear  from  you  ;  but  don't  be  seduced  from  the  true 
faith  bv  the  greenback  craze,  or,  for  that  matter,  by 
any  otlier  craze. '' 


A  PARALYZED  PASSEXGER 
The  Charlottesville  (Va.)  ChrimicUot  the  10th 
Inst,  says:  "On  Saturday  last  a  passenger  on  the 
eastern-bound  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  train  attracted 
the  attention  of  his  fellow-travelers  by  his  slngu 
lar  appearance  as  he  sat  as  straight  as  an  arrow 
in  his  seat,  with  his  eyes  fixed  in  one  direction, 
and  without  moving  a  muscle.  From  the  White  Sul- 
phur  to  Staunton  the  man  remained  motionless,  and 
when  the  traiu  stopped  at  Staunton  retained  his  seat 
without  indicating  any  emotion  when  many  of  tho 
passengers  left  the  ears.  A  new  conductor  took 
charge  of  the  train  at  Staunton,  and  came  around 
shortly  to  collect  the  rickets.  He  could  ^t  no  an- 
swer to  his  demand  frotn  the  mystenotis  pas- 
senger, who  was  as  silent  aud  motionless  as 
a  statue,  except  that  an  occasional  tear 
dropped  from  bis  transfixed  eyes  and  rolled 
down  his  cheeks.  It  was  di<5covered,  however, 
that  he  had  no  ticket,  and  when  the  train  arrived  at 
Charlottesville  he  was  found  to  be  entirely  helpless, 
and  was  removed  from  the  cars  to  the  Central  Hotel, 
where  the  medical  skill  of  Dr.  Lewis  was  extended 
to  him  in  his  singular  affiiction.  Several  hours 
elapsed  before  he  could  be  sufficiently  'readjusted' 
to  utter  a  word.  Finally,  however  he  was  waked  up 
to  such  au  extent  by  the  application  of  Judicious 
remedies  as  to  state  that  his  name  was  Samuel  Kid- 
der Campbell,  and  that  he  was  from  Bucyrtis,  Oh  io. 
Mr.  Campbell  states  that  he  came  from  Bucyrus 
to  the  White  Sulphur  Springs,  where  he 
remained  one  dav,  but  all  that  transpire*! 
from  the  time  he  left  that  point  until  he  was 
brought  to  his  right  mind  in  Charlottesville 
ia  a  blank.  The  physicians  ssy  he  was  attacked  by 
something  in  the  nature  of  congestion  of  the  bram, 
and  consider  the  case  remarkable.  At  last  accotints 
the  patient  was  entirely  relieved  and  in  a  fair  way 
to  recover." 


AXQORA  aOAT  RAISIXO. 
The  Virginia  (Nev.)  Enterprise  saya:  "N.  Gil- 
more,  of  the  CKlmore  Soda  Springs,  seven  miles  from 
£merald  Bay,  Lake  Tahoc,  is  a  very  snccesafnl  breed- 
er of  Angora  goats,  a  flock  of  2,700  of  which  animals 
he  has  at  his  place  at  the  head  of  Fallen  Leaf  Lake, 
two  miles  from  his  springs.  In  all  he  has  over  3,00O 
of  these  goats,  some  4O0  being  at  a  ranch  below 
Placervllle.  At  tliis  ranch  all  the  animals  are  herded 
in  Winter.  He  crosses  the  Angora  with  the  common 
goat,  and  continues  to  breed  In  aud  in  until  the  prop- 
er length  of  fleece  is  attained.  At  the  first  crossing 
the  wool  produced  Is  short,  and  the  fleece  light,  but 
finally  the  staple  becomes  long  and  fine,  and  tbe 
fleece  heavy,  the  weight  being  five  or  six  pounds  for 
each  animal.  The  short  wool  sella  to  mantifac- 
turers  in  the  Atlantic  States  at  65  cents  per  pound. 
while  tlie  long  is  worth  from  90  cents  to  $1  10.  Mr. 
GUmore  finds  no  difficulty  in  rearing  the  goats  on  his 
mountain  ranches." 


WORK  FOR  CALIFORXIA  TOVTH. 

The  Chico  (CaL)  Record  says  :  •'  Work  for 
bo}*^  and  girls  appears  to  be  looking  up  in  various 
parts  of  the  State.  We  notice  that  picking  hops  is 
one  branch  of  industry  that  promises  to  give  boys  a 
chance  to  do  something.  The  season  lasts  for  about 
two  months,  and  the  wages  promised  are  $8  per 
mcQth  and  foimd.  Porno.  Mendocino  Cotinty,  offers 
the  boys  this  chance.  The  boys  have  to  provide 
themselves  with  blankets,  tin  cup,  and  plate,  also 
knife  and  fork  and  spoon.  This  looks  as  tbou^  the 
boys  were  Taqtttred  to  Hve  like  Chinameo,  and  work 
.for  leas  wages.  Bttt  let  them  have  connge.  and  work

The  hours  the  boys  and  girls  are  reqnired  to  labor  at

DETAILS  OP  TqE  HEART-BBKDING  CALAMI- 
TY IN  A  CANADIAN  ALMS-HOC8E— HERO- 
ISM OF  A  POOR  OLD  BLIKD  MAX. 

A  telegram  from  Simcoe.  Ontario,  to  the  Chi- 
cago Times  gives  the  following  account  of  the  soenes 
attending  the  burning  of  a  alms-hoose,  with  its  at- 
tendant lamentable  loss  of  life,  -on  Satnrday  evening 
last: 

'*  At  10:45  o'clock  on  Saturday  evening  fire  was 
diseovexed  in  the  poor-house  on  the  Industrial  Form 
of  tbe  Cotmtry  of  Xorfolk,  and  about  one  mile  from 
this  town.  The  building  was  very  old,  dry,  and  built 
of  wood.  The  fire  originated  in  the  centre  of  the 
building  down  stairs,  and  spread  so  rapidly  that  be- 
fore any  alarm  could  be  given  both  staircases  were 
in  ruins,  thereby  cutting  off  retreat  through  the 
doors.  The  inmates  were  sleeping  both  on  the  ground 
floor  and  the  first  floor  above,  the  men  on  the  one 
side  and  the  women  on  the  other.  Very  few  people 
were  at  the  scene  of  the  conflagration,  owing  to  the 
distance  at  which  the  poor-honse  was  situated 
from  thel  town.  The  fire  alarm  was  not 
sounded  aid  no  fire-engines  or  firemen  were 
present.  »eapwhile  the  flames  spread  rapidly 
and,  notwithstanding  the  extreme  exertions  and  com- 
plete-presence of  mind  of  an  old  blind  man,  an  inmate 
of  the  btiildlng,  who  went  through  room  after  room 
and  awoke  tbe  men  and  boys  and  controlled  them  to 
the  beat  of  his  ability,  the  inmates  lost  all  control 
of  themselves  and  were  as  helpless  as  infants.  The 
blind  man  forced  five  or  six  out  of  the  window  above, 
and  worked  until  the  flames^  and  smoke  compelled 
him  to  seek  safety  in  fli^t.  Notwithstanding  his 
e^oris,  nine  of  the  males  perished  in  the  flames. 

Meantime,  some  one  In  the  crowd  forced  an  en- 
trance from  the  outside  to  the  female  department, 
and  succeeded  in  awakening  all  the  inmates.  Tbey 
were,  if  possible,  more  excited  than  tho  men,  and  al- 
though manv  jumped  out  of  the  windows,  at  a  dis- 
tance of  12^eet,  o^ers  could  jtot  be  induced  to  leave. 
Owing  to  tbe  rapidity  with  which  the  flames  spread 
the  time  was  very  short,  not  exceeding  from  the  first 
25  minutes  before  the  greater  part  of  the  building 
was  in  flames.  Meanwhfle,  the  grounds-surrounding 
th©  building  were  in  a  state  of  great  confusion.  Men 
and  women  were  running  like  mad  people,  some  half- 
dressed  and  sotne  with  nothing  on  but  iMUght-shirt, ' 
crying  and  uttering  the  most  pitiful  shrieks.  During' 
tfats  time  the  crowd  were  witnessing  a  sad  and 
heartrending  scene.  Men  and  women  oould  be 
seen  through  the  open  windows  seated  on  their 
beds,  aud  the  flames  rapidly  licking  the  bed- 
clothes and  their  own  scanty  -clothing.  One  woman  . 
went  down  stairs,  and  when  she  found  all  retreat 
was  cut  off  In  that  direction  she  sank  down  an  tbe 
stairs  and  perished.  She  was  plainly  visible  through 
the  open  door,  and  manv  a  brave  heart  sickened  and 
turned  from  this  most  horrible  spectacle.  Another 
woman  threw  two  of  her  children  out  of  the  window 
and  then  jumped  herself.  Fortunately,  some  men 
underneath  caught  both  mother  and  chUdren.  After 
a  lapse  of  15  or  20  minutes  the  floors  and  walls  gave 
way  and  left  nothing  standing  but  the  frame.  Theu 
the  victims  cotild  plainly  be  Rcen  in  the  ruins  burn- 
ing. This  was  the  most  sickening  snene  that  the 
crowd  had  to  withstand.  Soon  the  frame  fell,  and  in 
a  very  short  time  all  was  buried  in  smoke  and  ashes. 

There  were  seven  men,  eight  women,  and  two  boys 
burned  to  death,  and  foocr  men  who  escaped  were 
badly  btimed,  and  one  man  had  his  leg  broken  by 
jumping  from  the  window.  These  tmfortunates  re- 
ceived all  possible  attention.  They  were  conveyed 
at  once  to  the  County  J^l,  in  this  towu,  aud  re- 
ceived medical  aid  from  Dr.  Hayes,  the  poor-house 
surgeon,  and  tender  care  from  the  amiable  wife  of 
the  jailer.  It  is  feared  that  one  man,  named  John 
Cavinne.  will  not  recover.  Those  who  escaped  were 
well  cared  for.  They  were  temporarilv  housed  in 
the  bam  and  a  small  house  on  the  premi*;6s,  and  at- 
tended to  by  the  Matron  of  the  poor-house. 
There  were  40  inmates,  23  of  whom  escaped 
and  17  perished  in  the  flames.  At  an  early 
hour  Sunoay  morning  two  large  wooden  boxes  were 
made,  aud  the  charred  bodies  were  carefully  collected 
adti  placed  in  these  coffins.  Dr.  John  \Vatson,  Coro- 
ner, impaneled  a  jtuy,  and  an  inquest  was  held.  It 
was,  however,  nostponed  until  7  P.  M.  Wednesday 
evening,  to  be  lield  in  Slmcoft.  The  remains  were 
buried  at  5  P.  M-  Sunday,  in  the  poor-honse  burj-- 
Ing-ground,  in  two  graves.  From  an  early  hotir  Sun- 
day momine  until  long  after  dark  in  the  evening  the 
towns-people  visited  the  late  scene  of  disaster  by  hun- 
dreds, and  many  came  from  surrounding  towns  and 
villages  to  witness  the  most  ruinous  fire  and  loss  of 
life  on  record  in  the  Coimtv  of  Norfiolk. 

Following  is  a  list  of  tW  names  of  the  nine  men 
and  boys  who  perished  in  tne  flames,  and  the  town- 
ships to  which  thev  belonged  :  William  Houck,  Wal-

London,  Ontario,  who  is  receiving  charity  from  the 
County  of  Norfolk  until  Information  can  be  received 
as  to  where  he  properly  belongs.  The  value  of  the 
building  is  estimated  at  $],>>00.  It  was  insured  for 
91,200.  and  there  was  $800  insurance  onthec»jn- 
tents,  all  in  tho  British  American  Company.  Notli- 
iuK  was  done  to  save  furniture  and  provisions.  -\Il 
efrorts  were  directed  to  saving  human  life.  Every. 
thing  is  quiet  this  niomiug.  and  nothing  remains  of 
the  late  disaster  but  sorrowful  remembrances. 


A  COMMUXlSrS  WILL. 
The  St.  Louis  Globe- Democrat  says  that  a  pa- 
per purporting  to  be  a  copy  of  the  last  will  and  tes-  - 
lament  of  Johann  Karl  Fritz  Lingenan.  the  German 
Social  Democrat,  who  died  in  that  city  a  few  days 
ago.  was  found  at  the  house  of  Mr.^Pfell,  In  a  trunk . 
of  the  deceased,  among  other  papers.  The  Public 
Administrator  took  charge  "^  the  estate,  which  ia 
valued  at  from  ^12,000  to  f  13, 000.  Among  the 
effects  are  39.500  In  United  States  bonds,  and  notes 
for  about  $3,000.  The  will  is  dated  Genf,.  l^th 
March.  lH7t}.  It  nmkes  the  Social  Democrats  of  tho 
civilized  world  the  heirs  to  the  estate  of  the  deceas#4l, 
to  be  used  In  establishing  free  governments  through- 
out the  \mlverse.  The  bonds,  jQioney.  books,  manu- 
scripts, diary,  clothing.  Ac,  are  to  be  distrib- 
uted among  the  Social  Republicans  of  various 
countries  In  Wie  following  proportions :  Switzerland. 
France,  Italy,  and  Spain,  one-sixth  :  Goramuy.  three- 
sixths;  Austro-Hungarj-,  one-sixth;  United  States, 
one-sixth ;  Denmark,  Sweden,  Korway,  Poland,  Rus- 
sia, and  England,  one-slitli.  Tlie  document  expresses 
the  hope  that  his  friends  will  make  a  just  and  equal 
division  of  the  estate,  and  that  the  principlen  advo- 
cated by  the  deceased  will  ultimatelyprevauthrough- 
out  the  world.  A  number  of  names  are  mentione<t 
as  Executors  and  as  belonging  to  the  organization  of 
Social  Democrats,  among  them  Garibaldi,  of  Italy ; 
John  Philip  Becker,  of  Geneva ;  August  Bebel  and 
William  Llebrccht,  of  Leipzig ;  W.  Bracke,  Jr..  of 
Braumschwcig  ;  August  Geib.  of  Ilamburg ;  Karl 
Marx,  of  London,  Secretary  of  the  Internationale.  The 
concltasion  of  the  will  Ls  quite  eloquput.  He  expresses 
the  hone,  in  the  fulmess  of  his  heart,  that 
this  little  grain  of  sand  which  he  has  contributed  to 
the  beautiful  temple  in  process  of  erection,  in  which 
freedom,  equality,  and  justice  will  be  enthroned,  will 
be  the  nucleus  of  an  aotuidance  of  material  to  com- 
plete the  grand  and  glorious  structure  ;  that  the 
motto  "  One  for  all  and  all  for  one"  will  be  the  guid- 
ing star  of  the  order  ;  that  the  only  religion  worthy 
of  the  name  regards  tho  whole  world  as  its  family. 
and  the  whole  earth  the  fatherland.  The  will  is 
probably  Invalid,  as  the  Executors  are  not  properly 
named,  and  there  are  no  witnesses.  The  money  will 
remain  in  the  hands  of  the  Public  Administrator  im- 
til  claimed  by  the  heirs,  if  there  be  any ;  if  not 
claimed  within  a  certain  time  it  will  escheat  to  the 
State.  

A  UOT  PLACE. 
The  Virginia  (Nev.)  Enterpriu  of  the  4th 
inst.  says  :  ' '  The  Savage  Incline,  at  a  point  near  tbe 
water,  ia  so  hot  as  to  be  almost  beyond  human  en- 
durance. But  for  their  shirts  the  skin  of  Uie  men 
would  be  blistered  as  though  by  a  jet  of  scalding 
steam.  A  man  from  the  mine,  who  was  in  Dr. 
Conn's  office  yesterday,  showed  a  blister  on  his  arm 
that  was  nearly  as  large  as  a  man's  hand.  This 
blister  was  caused  by  exposing  bis  arm  at  the  bottom 
of  the  incline.  It  ia  so  hot  down  at  the  water  that 
in  screwing  a  nut  on  the  end  of  a  bolt  one  man  would 
be  able  to  do  no  more  than  fasten  a  monkey-wrenoh  - 
upon  it  before  he  would  be  obliged  tt)  retreat. 
Another  would  then  descend  and  give  the  wrench 
two  or  three  tarns,  when  he  woold  fall  back  and  a 
tldrd  man  would  go  down  and  give  It  a  few  turns. 
Yesterday  morning  the  giraffe  got  off  the  track  well 
down  the  Incline,  and  in  trying  to  replace  it  one  of 
a  small  party  of  men  was  so  overcome  by  the  heat 
that  he  fell  down  in  a  state  of  inRemdoility.  His 
companions  carried  him  from  a  point  between  the 
l,7O0  and  the  1,900-foot  levels  to  the  1,300  foot 
level  ot  the  Hale  and  Korcross  Mine,  where  he  could 
obtain  a  mouthful  <)f  fresh  air.  He  was  still  uncon- 
scious when  he  reacned  xh»  point  named.  The  Hale 
and  Xorcress  Mine  is  now  ^nlte  cool,  the  draft  in  It 
having  sgaln  changed,  being  once  more  down  the 
main  shaft."  _ 

imSIC  IX  EASY  LBSSOXS. 
The  San  Jose  (CaL)  Mercury  tells  the  follow- 
ing of  a  yoong  girl  residing  in  that  place :  *'  Miss 
Blla  Malone,  a  young  ^1  of  16,  who  resides  with  her 
mother  in  the  southern  part  of  the  elty,  has  been  sub- 
jeet  for  two  years  to  peculiar  influencee.  She  coea  off 
in  a  trance.  In  v^ch  she  claims  to  be.  not  EUa  Malone.

way  i  First  bathe  the  feet  in  a  strong  solution  of 
borax — tablespoonful  of  powdered  borax  in  a  ba- 
sin of  water  :  bathe  at  least  twice  a  week  :  let  the 
f^wt  remain  in  the  water  half  an  hour  or  more  ;  pare 
the  com  a  little  :  be  careftil  not  to  make  it  b^ed,

Is  needed,  on  the  com  :  let  it  remain  on  day  and 
niiUit ;  pare  the  com  everj'  day  or  two  :  fill  the  CR^-ity 
In  "the  centre  of  the  plaster  with  some  of  the  pulp  of 
a  lemon,  aithcugh  this  is  not  absolutely  necessary 
except  in  very  stubborn  cases.  Wear  the  plaster  for 
a  week  or  longer  after  the  com  is  cured  ;  it  prevents 
the  shoe  ^m  nibbing  or  irritating  the  tender  spot.

a  herdsman  who  is  paid  by  the  dorf.  The  ^■iU  ige  lots 
and  other  subdivisions  ar'j  distributed  by  lot. 

The  houses — ouiy  found  iu  the  dorf — are  c<  mfort-

f'lur  rooms,  "the  same  roof  usually  extends  o  vr  sep-

there  is  a  tTO\ving  tendentiy  to  have  differen  :  tene-

there  are  500  sheep  and  loO  horses  on  the  Ra  :  Itiver

The  municipal  government  is  a  simple  dom  >eracy. 
The  heads  of  families  annu:illy  select  a  Ma  yuv  or 
Reeve,  who  is  the  chief  exiecutive  officer,  C"»n>tantly 
conferring  with  his  connituents.  Over  tlie  whole

Therej  Si  nothing  zeally  meritorious  in  thli  action, 
and  it  would  be  silly  for  other  regiments  generally  to 
foUowT  jthe  example  of  the  Albanians.  It  is  well 
known  that  whatever  assistance  the  National  Gnaid 
receives  from  ,thia  State,  is  given  with  a  grudging 
hand,  pnd  although  the  nattiral  consequence  of  such 
an  action  as  that  of  the  Bursesaes  Corps  is  to  elicit  a 
"hurrah"  from  the  frenervl  public,  it  will  have  no 
effect  I  in  .increasing  the  next  appropriation  of  funds 
for  puachasing  the  necessary'  supplies  for  keepiSK  up 
the  S^at^  MiStia.  Take  the  First  and  Second  Dl- 
vision?,  for  instance.  They  have  not  had  a  camp  of 
Instmction  j  for  years,  cecatise,  the  Adjutant- 
General  i  says,  '"We  have  no  money  for 
such  porpo^."  The  State  Arsenal  is^  devoid 
of  tbe  necessary  stores  for  use  in  case  of  an  nnmedi- 
ate  call  for  the  troops,  and  is  principally  a  depot  for 
the  receipt  and  distribution  of  cartridges  for  use  at 
Creedthoor.  The  Quartermaster-General  is  constantly 
open  to  censure  on  this  accotint,  when  in  reality  the 
want  of  supplies  la  due  to  a  lack  of  money  with  which 
to  piurchase  them.  There  are  not  even  waD-tenta 
enougli  on  hand  to  supply  any  enterprising  regiment 
which  may  desire  to  go  Into  camp  at  its  own  expense. 
■While  this  rigid  economy  lasts  ihe  variotis  reztmenta 
will  noit  be  censmred  as  being  miserly  for  taking  the 
money!  due  tilem  for  service  and  applying  it  toward 
the  purchase  of  haversa  ks,  canteens,  overcoats,  and 
blankets  for  use  in  active  8er\'ice  when  called  upon.

The  residents  of  iiyracuse  have  long  been  ac- 
customed to  brag  of  their  Fif  ty-fii-st  Regiment,  and 
they  thought  so  much  of  it  that  they  slept  with  un- 
locked doors  previous  to  the  late  disturbances  in  their 
vicinity.  But  when  the  time  for  action  came, 
thev  fopJid  their  pet  was  a  mere  toy, 
and'  totally  ineflticient  as  a  miiitarj'  organi- 
zation. The  locel  newspapers  have  abused 
the  regiment,  and  a  census  of  it  has  been  taken,  with 
the  result  of  finding  150  ■'  good  men  and  true  "  out 
of  an  enrolled  total  of  410.  A  public  meeting  was 
held  at  the  armory  of  the  Fifty-first  last  Wednesday

i  The  Twenty-third  Regiment,  Brooklyn,  CoL 
E.  C.  \rard  commanding,  will  go  to  Creedmoor  for 

I  third  and  second  class  practice  on  Thmrsday  next. 

I  A  court-martial  will  convene  in  this  command  on 
Tuesday,  the  '2l%t  inst..  at  8  P.  M.,  for  the  trial  of 
those  members  who  failed  to  respond  to  the  order 
directing  the  regiment  to  go  to  HornellsviUe  lately. 
Lieut.  CoL  John  N.  Partridge  will  preside.  Com- 
missions have  been  received  for  Capt.  Joseph  T. 
Duryea  as  Chap^.ain,  and  Capt.  Edward  A.  Lewis  as 
Assistant  Surgeon  of  this  command.  Warrants  have 
been  is'sued  to  Serst.  John  E.  Jar^'is.  Company  P, 
and  Corp.  Oliver  H.  Allen,  of  tbe  same  company. 
The  oSicers  rejKirt  that  recniiting  has  been  brisk 
in  this  command  since  its  return  froni  Homells- 
viile.  This  is  not  to  be  wondered  at,  as  the 
regiment  ce>  tuinly  made  a  splendid  record  while  per- 
forraimr  active  service  in  what  its  members  term  the 
'■late  war.''  IVequenters  at  Creedmoor.  have,  how- 
ever,  noticed  the  absence  of  a  representation  of  this 
command  on  the  nmue.  and  it  is  rumored  that  there 
is  to  be  no  team  from  that  organization  at  Creed- 
moor tliis  Fall.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  "  crack  '' 
.shots  of  the  regiment  will  assemble  immediately  and 
subtain  the  reputation  of  their  organization. 

At  a  regular  meeting  of  the  Albany  Burgesses

DISSATISFACTION  ACEOSS  THE  BORDER  WITH 
TEE  WASHINGTON  TREATY. 
Toronto  Globe  prints  the  following  in  its 
correspondence  from  St.  John's,  Newfoundland,  under 
dateof  Aug.  1 :  "There  is  a  growing  feeling  of  distrust 
in  regard  to  the  probable  results  of  the  Fishery  Com- 
mission. It  becomes  more  and  more  evident  from 
our  experience  this  year  that  in  accepting  the  Wash- 
ington Treaty  we  formed  an  utterly  inadequate  esti- 
mate of  the  value  of  the  concessions  we  then  made 
to  the  r'nlted  States,  and  failed  to  anticipate  the 
serious  character  of  those  con''essions  as  far  as  our 
ownfislieries  were  concerned.  In  throwing  open  our 
shores  ^o  American  fishermen  we  anticipated  that 
matters  would  go  on  as  under  the  old  Reciprocity 
Treaty,  and  that  few.  if  any.  American  fishing  ves- 
sels wotild  find  it  profitable  to  visit  these  shores,  or 
wimld  be  able  to  compete  with  our  own  fishermen. 
But  what  is  the  actual  fact  i  Thss  year  a  vast 
tieet  of  American  bankers  have  been  visiting 
our  harbors  for  the  purpose  of  securing 
bait  and  ice.  So  rapidly  is  this  practice 
developing  itself  that  speedily  the  great  bulk  of 
American  fishing  vessels  employed  on  the  banks  will 
regularly  resort  to  our  shores  fur  all  their  bait.  This 
bait  they  can  now  either  take  themselves  or  purchase 
frohi  our  fishermen.  To  the  Americans  this  conces- 
sion ia  enormous.  Wlien  prosecuting  the  bank  fish- 
ery .they  can  run  into  one  of  our  harbors  in  *J4 
hours,  procure  a  fresh  supply  of  bait,  aud  in  a  brief 
period  return  to  their  fisnm:;  grounds.  Inste  d  of 
two  trips,  they  will  now  be  able  to  make  three  or 
more  during  the  season,  thus  adding  immensely  to 
their  catclv.  But  it  appears  our  "  cute  "  cousins  re- 
fus*^  to  i  admit  that  we  are  entitled  to  any  money 
compensation  for  this  concession.  They  artnie 
that  few  (,»f  their  fishermen  avail  themselves  of  it — 
an  a.Hsertion  contrary  to  fact — and  that  those  who  do 
benefit  us  bv  creating  a  IraflBc  in  bait.  Doubtless  a 
fewlof  our  fishermen  may  benefit  by  this  traffic.  In 
cases  where  Americans  prefer  pun-hasing  to  taking 
baitl  on  their  own  account ;  but  clearly  thLs  is  an 
utterly  insignificant  item  when  compared  with  the 
enormous  gidu  on  the  part  of  Americans,  and  for 
which  they  seem  desirous  of  refusing  any  compensa- 
tioul  %Then  our  ca-ne  Is  fully  and  faXrly  stated  t>efore 
the  tribunal  appointed  to  investigate  the  whole  mat- 
ter, [we  camiot  fail  to  obtain  a  la^e  award,  should  an 
impartial  decis  on  be  arrived  at.  The  whole  of  our 
case  Is  not  yet  stated.  The  convenient  proximity  of 
Xew^foundland  to  the  American  fishing  grounds  on 
the  banks  is  now  duly  appreciated,  and  finding  here 
an  inexliaustible  supply  of  bait,  .Americans  will  more 
and  biore  oi'cupy  the  smaller  banks  near  our  shores, 
and  thus  seriously  injure  our  inshore  fisheries.  ^SHieu 
thes<?  outer  grounds  are  baited  with  miles  of  bultows 
the  fish  are  prevented  from  coming  inshore.  Tlie 
povtjrtv  und  eihau-stion  of  American  fishing  grounds, 
of  whfch  we  did  not  dream  when  we  wcepted  the 
Washington  Treatv,  are  now  made  apparent  by  the 
eagcniess  with  which  the  American  llshermen  are 
resorting  here,  aud  by  their  keen  appreciation  of 
Prof  Hind's  disclostires  regarding  the  new  fishing 
grounds  on  Northern  Labrador.  For  thj*  valu- 
able 
get

nrivilei;<-s  we  have  accorded  them 
in  return  the  liberty  of  fishing  «u 
coasts — which  is  a  mere  mockery — and 
■•■the  kdmlssion  of  our  tish,  duty  free,  to.  their 
markets.  They  managed  cleverly  to  exclude  oi^  seal 
oil  from  the  free  list,  the  admission  of  which  would

A  TCJTAL  OF  1,53S 
SURANCE^ 

TlJ^  Insurance  Commissiotierof  Ma-ssaohii-sett.s 
has  issued  a  supplementary'  report.  gi%ing  tbe  re- 
sults) of  his  first  efi'ort  to  secure  statistics  of  the 
manufacturing  interests  of  the  State,  with  special 
reference  to  th^  business  of  insurance  aud  of  fires 
and  their  causes!  He  says  tliat  the  statistics  of  fires 
during  1S76  are  compiled  from  data  furnished  by 
Seiectlmeu  of  toTms,  or  Chief  Enf;ineers  of  Fire  De- 
pRrtnieut,s.  In  response  to  acircular.  with  suitable 
blanks,  issued  \xy  the  Commis-siouer,  schedules  were* 
received  from  all  the  cities  and  towns  in  the  State, 
except  Adams,  Bemardston,  Deerfield.  Mon.son,  Rut- 
land, and  Ware.  Repeated  requests  failed  to  elicit  a 
reply  from  these  towns. '  Eighty-seven  towns  return 
"no  fires  durinjf  the  year."  The  whole  number  of 
fires  reported  is  L,53b.  The  following  are  the  causes 
assignbd :

The^e  is  Bbun<Jant  evidence  that  many  of  tbe  fires 
reported  "  incendiar>', "  (uotablyiu  bams  and  isolated 
buildiugs,)  are  c  lused  by  "tramps;"  but  the  laree 
perceiitage  of  such  fires  where  the  insurance  exceeded 
the  value  of  the';  property  destroyed  indicates  that 
othersJ  besides  the  trampi  apply  the  incendiary  torch. 

We  ifind  that  lof  the  fires  reported  IGl.  or  more 
than  6ne  in  10,  j  were  caused  by  "defective  chim- 
neys."! An  annual  loss  to  our  citizens  of  more 
than  $200,000  [from  this  cause  can  be  almost 
entirely  avoided  by  the  enactment  and  enforcement 
of  a  Juoicious  building  law.  \\'hen  the  people  can  be 
made  to  realize  jthat  it  is  not  the  insurance  com- 
panies; but  themselves,  who  pay  the  losses  by  fire, 
we  may  hope  td  see  such  a  law  upon  our  statute 
books,  I  adapted  to  the  necessities  of  the  smallest 
towns  as  well  as  to  the  large  cities.  The  same  may 
be  said  in  regard  to  tires  from  exposures.  One  hun- 
dred and  twenty-ieven  fires  are  reported  as  having 
originated  in  j  contiguous  buildings.  When 
proper  aitentioji  is  given  to  the  construc- 
tion of  buildiugs,  less  difficulty  will  be  ex- 
perienced iu  confining  ;a  fire  to  the  building  in 
which  lit  originaljes,  and  the  annual  loss  from  this 
caus^  will  be  muc^  diminished.  It  should  not  be  In- 
ferred, from  what  has  been  said,  that  no  attention 
has  yetlbeen  given  to  this  impoi-tant  subject.  Kx- 
celle'nt  laws  are  in  force  iu  Boston,  Salem,  and,  per- 
haps[  other  clties.l  The  universal  adoption  of  such 
laws'isiihe  end  sought  by  those  who  resize  the  value 
of  theih.  [   ' 

The  fires  reported  as  resulting  from  carelessness 
are  ssczdbed  to  a  multitudb  of  causes,  the  most  prom- 
inent of  which  ar^  smoking,  dampers  left  open,  and 
hanging  wet  fabrics  too  near  hot  stoves.  The  whole 
number  of  unoccupied  dwelling-houses  in  the  State, 
as  shbwn  by  the  census  of  187o,  is  11.705-  Seventy 
fires.lor  about  onejin  1G7.  are  reported  in  this  class 
of  property,  04r  of  which  are  returned  "incen- 
diary,"! 4  '■  unknown,"  and  U  "  careless- 
iie«ts.V  I  A  larg^  proportion  of  these  build- 
ings appear  xq\  have  been  overiusured,  and 
in  most  eases  the  loss  is  total.  From  the  same 
source  we  find  the  number  of  occupied  dwellings  to 
be  255.51  y.  Six  hundred  and  sixty-eight  fires,  or 
one  in  382,  are  reported  in  this  chiss.  From  these 
statistics  it  would  appear  that  the  hazard  of  an  un- 
occupied dwelling  is  a  little  more  than  double  that  of 
one  occupied  ;  but)  the  fact  that  most  of  the  uuoc- 
cunied  property  isj  totally  destroyed  In  case  of  fire, 
increases  this  ratio  many  times.  The  loss  or  damage 
by  the  fires  reported  amoimta  to  $3,531,S99.  The 
a^^egato  of  losses  incurred  by  all  the  insurance 
companies  doing  business  in  the  State  durine  the 
year  is  $2.73?<,1S0-  Making  liberal  allowances  for 
errors  In  the  returns  and  for  other  causes  of  differ- 
ence, it  is  probside  that  the  loss  for  the  year  iu 
excess  of  the  insurance  was  fully  $500,000. 


JUDGE  WESTS  IDEAS  OX  COOPERATIOX. 
The  Cincinnati  C\>m?H<?rc('a/  of  Monday  says: 
"Judge  [West,  at  Cleveland,  spoke  of  requiring  rail- 
road companies  and  mine-owners  to  pay  remunerative 
wagesaud  share  with  the  employes  the  net  earnings  at 
the  end  ^f  the  year^  If  it  was  to  be  required  of  them, 
then  by  whomi  By  the  La^latures  of  the  States? 
They  are  not  competent  in  the  case  of  railroad  com- 
panies, at  least-  '\*"]ast  other  body  but  Congress  con'  d 
legislate  on  the  subject?  NVhat  characterized  thb*  as 
extraordinary  doctrine  to  come  from  a  man  of  Judge 
West's  reputation  i as  a  jurist  and  scholar.  But  it 
now  appears  that  h«  did  not  quite  moau  all  he  said. 
He  made  use  of  a]  word  that  was  not  expressive  of 
his  sense.  Ho  now  says  he  would  have  this  state 
of  things  brotight  about  by  voluntary  agreement  be- 
tween the  parties.  J  That  is  quite  another  thing.  No- 
body will  object  tio  that,  and  it  is  a  matter  that 
does  not  concern  j  politics  as  applied  to  govern- 
ment. Doubtless  the  co-operative  prmciple, 
if  reduced  to  practice  extensively,  not  only 
in  railroad  aud  rhining  affairs,  but  in  all  kind's 
of  industry  where  labor  and  cnpital  must  be  com- 
bined for  a  successful  issue,  would  go  a  long  way  to 
prevent '  misunderstaadiugs  and  strikes,  for  if  inter- 
ested in  the  net  gains,  the  laborer  would  find  it  to  his 
advantage  to  push  the  enterprise  to  its  greatest  ca- 
pacity [and  for  the  largest  result.  He  would  want  no 
eight-hour  law,  nor  woidd  he  encourage  anions  and 
associations  that  laake  it  a  part  of  their  duty  to  see 
that  the  work  averages  only  so  much  an  hour  per 
hand  employed.  But  if  it  is  to  be  a  voluutar>*  matter 
we  do  not  see  anyrdasonfor  bringing  it  forwardearly 
in  a  political  canvass,  as  though  It  were  a  matter  at 
issue  betw««a  paxtias,  and  to   b«  discuMed  on  th«

of  last  evening.  In  the  final  sales  Atlantic  and 
Pacific  Telegraph  showed  a  reaction  of  1  ^

HE  PERSISTS  IX  DENTIN*?  THAT  HE  HAS  IA)S\ 
BOTH  LEGS.  AXD  MAKES  THREATS. 
Frvni  tfic  JJUtcaukr^  Sfnti/tH. 
A  few  days  ago  the  nt-wsp&pt^ns  of  Milwaukee 
announced  that  a  swiu-b  mail  uu  one  of  the  railroads 
had  be«u  run  ovt-r  by  a  train  uf  curs  and  h&d  both 
legs  amputated.  The  nert  dny,  ^vbile  the  Sentintl 
reporter  was  tr\Tng  to  persuade  &  boy  t<»  jutap  on' 
Spring-street  bridjre  after  tlie  bell  iiiul  rung,  (thecrop 
of  aecidenta  for  tbe  day  bu\iuj:  been  Ib^fat.)  he  w*s 
astounded  and  angry  to  s«^  that  swit'-bman  walking 
leisurely  along  and  occasionally  kii-iiug  at  a  doc,  jost 
as  though  h^  le;^  liad  ne^er  bt-eu  amuutateO.  It 
WHfi  but  the  wurk  of  a  moment  U>t  tlie  reporter 
to  ffttch  tbe  unconsciuus  switchman  by  tbe  collar  and 
drag  him  into  an  alley.  Here  be  remonstrxted  vritix 
him  on  the  utter  imbecility  of  biii  cuur^eL  It  was.  he 
said,  an  outrace  on  the  medii-nl  profession  for  a  mas. 
to  walk  around  the  day  after  bulb  nis  le^»  bad  been 
amputated.  In  fact,  it  w&s  an  utter  impossibility.  Tho 
public  rould  not  be  expect^  to  submit  to  such  an  at- 
tempt to  overthrow  all  esiablisbed  uotiou5  a'S  to  am- 
putations- He  nrged  him.  as  a  matter  of  duty,  to  ct». 
through  the  unfrequented  streets  to  Ids  hotne.  aad 
take  to  his  bed.  as  UTiy  li'Klt'>^s  man  vl'ih.  th« 
least  spark  of  «elf-respe-t  would  do.  The  switcb- 
mau  merely  shook  his'  head  for|  ireply.  and 
the  reporter  resorted  .  to  bribery.  [  H*  prom- 
ised tbe  man  a  pair  of  sll«er-iiiounto<l  crutcbt*5. 
a  jKirtable  easy-cliair.  a  pair  i>f  double -^Mnted  t.rti- 
ficial  lees,  a  l*ox  of  salve.  Htnl  a  roll  of  liut  bandages, 
if  he  would  go  home  quietly  Ukf  a  well-behaved  rem- 
nant of  a  man.  and  finally  he  offered  to  ^"rite  him  ■ 
stunning  obituarj*  if  he  would  uutnai^r  to  die  of  bis 
injuries.  The  switchman  declared  that  his  legs  had 
never  been  amputated :  that  the  newspaper  reports 
of  his  having  been  injured  were  baseless,  in  proof 
of  which  be  rolled  np  hi»  pantaloons  aud  showed  a. 
pair  of  onquestloDaMy  buntan  le^.  Hut  no  well 
trained  reporter  cuuld  be  expected  toac^pt  such  evi- 
dence when  he  had  a  copy  of  tlie  paper  m  his  head 
which  annonnced  tbe  amputation.  He  triumphantly 
exhibited  the  paragraph  to  the  deluded  and  obstlnatw 
switchman,  and  attempted  to  perfiuade  tbe  man  tlmt 
he  waa  the  subject  of  an  ballurination  which  often 
atta<^  railroad  men  :  that.  wM'e  he  had  all  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  man  with  leers,  tbe  paragraph  oo^t  to 
convince  him  that  his  legs  had  been  amputated.  Bu^ 
the  switchman  was  immovable,  (although  ba  per- 
sisted in  claiming  to  have  legs.*  He  swore  T'-yOSiiiv 
that,  to  expose  the  unreliabiHty  of  tbe  presi.  he 
would  run  throngh  the  princijial'  streets  of  tbe  city, 
danr*  at  every  public  balL  and  demean  hiroadf  een- 
erally  a»  no  legless  man  bad  e\>r  done  before.  "Won*

TYPHOID FMTER  I.V  THE  RUVSL  FAMILY 
OF  EyGLASn. 
The  British  iMedical  Journal  ot  a  recent  date 
says  :  "  The  young  Prince  has  now  reached  about 
the  iiOth  day  of  tbe  attack  of  tj-phoid  (contiiined>,fe 
Ter  f^m  whicb  be  is  suffering,  aud  thus  far.  happi- 
ly, the  attack,  although  a  moderately  severe  one.  ha* 
been  free  from  untoward  complications,  and  has  pre- 
sented only  tbe  trouble  which  must  be  expected  in  a 
case  of  typhoid  fever  in  wldcb  the  temperature  as 
one  period  reached  304°  Fabenreil.  and  the  respira- 
tions have  been  at  30  aud  31  per  minute.  Svidb  aa 
attack  has  necessarily  caused  much  anxiet;f. 
but  the  fever  process  is  pursuing  Its  normal  coui'se, 
and  a  favorable  termination  may  be  justly 
anticipated.  Tbe  fever  fr»im  which  tbe  heir  pre- 
sumptive ia  now  suffering — ^the  third  of  his  line  who 
has  been  afflicted  within  a  period  of  IG  years — was, 
it  is  believed,  contracted  at  Sandringham: .  aud  this 
is  a  circumstance  which  will,  of  course,  require  care- 
ful local  sanitarj'  investigation.  Typhoid  fevei'  belrg 
essentially  a  prevent^l^ever.  duo  to  causes  wnich, 
by  perfect  saaitar>*  arfaugements  may  be  bield  aK- 
bay,  it  is.  we  believe,  proposed  that  l>r.  Seatob.  xhm 
beodof  the  medical  department  of  tbe  local  govern- 
ment board,  shall  make  a  searching  examination  of 
the  water  supply  and  other  sanitary  arraiii^*ements  M 
Sandringham.  ijin'^e  the  serious-illuess  frou-.  t>*piioid 
fever  of  bis  Royal  Kiglmess  the  Prince  of  Wales,  tb*. 
wuter  supply  at  Sandringham  has  been  remodeled  at 
considerable  cost  and  trouble.  It  i<i  stat^.  bowev«r. 
that,  at  the  time  of  the  reeenjt,  xisit  "f  the  Prince 
and  hbi  family  for  some  d8y^  I  u  Nurfoii;  Ihe  W'^ijca 
connected  with  the  newlyarranged  tvaler  sapply

to  the  sonrce  whence  tlie  wuter  was  dra^ii  piior  tu 
the  Prince's  purchase  of  the  estate.  Tlie  impottan^e 
of  a  scientific  inveiitiiration  into  the  facts  can  bsrdly 
be  overrated.  It  is  not  a  little  remiirkaule.  aud  cer-

The  biographer  of  a  poet  ought  to  retire 
fato  the  wUdemesa  for  a  sufficient  spaiie  of  time, 
mud,  on  the  diet  of  an  anchorite,  to  purify  his 
bodiiy  and  mental  fibre  oC  anger,  partisanship, 
Knd,  if  possible,  of  dnllneas.  No  one  supposes  that 
Ihe  Ufa  of  Poe  was  passed  on  roses — certainly  not 
on  the  rosea  perceptible  to  the  senses,  however 
many  may  have  been  the  beds  of  flowers  that 
grvwlnhis  exuberant  imagination.  After  death 
at  least  bis  fate  has  been  a  hard  one.  Dr.  Grls- 
wold,  an  muraccesafol  litterateur,  did  his  best  to 
slander  his  memory  in  a  biography  porporting 
to  be  that  of  a  friend ;  he  tamed  everything  he 
eoold  to  its  worst  constmctionf  and,  where 
praise  was  necessary,  damned  Poe  with  its  faint- 
ness.  The  French  poet  Baudelaire  swooped 
down  npon  Oriswold  in  the  following  word^  as 
given  by  Mr.  Gill: 

*'  Some,  nciting  the  dullest  unintelli^nce  of  his 
genius  to  the  f  ero<;ltv  of  the  hypocritical  trading 
class,  have  insulted  him  to  the  uppermost  (tic)  after 
his  untimely  enii,  mdely  hectoring  his  poor  Bpeech- 
less  corpse,  particularly  Mr.  Rufua  W.  Griswoid,  the 
pMagoffue  vampire,  who  has  defamed  hia  friend  at 
•  full  length,  in  an  enormous  article,  wearisome  and 
cranuned  with  hatred,  which  was  prefixed  to  the 
posthumous  editions  of  Poe'a  works.  Are  there  then 
uo  regulations  in  America  to  keep  the  eurs  out  of  the 
cemeteries  I  " 

In  this  country  Poe  has  had  his  defenders 
from  the  insidious  attacks  of  his  pretended 
friend,  but  they  most  have  seemed  too  luke- 
warm for  the  aathor  of  the  present  Ufe.  Hr. 
Gffl  is  overcome  witli  wrath  at  the  atrocious 
e^nmnies  heaped  upon  Poe  while  he  still  lived 
■nd  was  criticising  the  writers  of  the  day,  as 
well  as  those  retailed  after  death, .  when  he 
eoTild  no  longer  make  a  defense.  In  the  inter- 
vals between  denunciations  of  Griswold  Mr.  Gill 
consdders  that  the  telling  of  a  poet's  life  requires 
poetical  treatment,  and  begins  his  second 
chapter  as  follows : 

"  Edgar  Allan  Poe  was  bom  In  Boston  on  the  19th 
of -January.  1309.  Bom  to  privation,  marked  before 
birth  with  the  brand  of  Ms  father's  vice,  the  orphan 
of  two  years  seemed  called  to  face  an  abject  future. 
But  a  glamour  of  sunshine,  at  least,  was  destined  to 
illume  his  path.  It  was  but  a  ^Ismoor,  a  glamour 
that  proveu  In  the  end  but  as  a  winding-sheet  to  the 
hopes  of  our  poet." 

This  "  glamour"  which  Mr.  Gill  tells  us  about 
consisted  in  his  adoption  t^y  a  wealthy  citizea 
of  Kichmond  who  was  childless,  but  who  many 
years  afterward  had  a  child  that  inherited  the 
fortune  promised  to  Poe.  In  other  words,  Poe 
was  a  spoiled  adopted  son,  who  was  roughly 
treated  for  very  natural  faults  that  seem  to  have 
had  their  rise  in  the  bad  managrement  of  his 
adopted  parent  far  more  than  in  any  great  vicious- 
ness  on  his  own  part.  The  accounts  of  his  wild- 
ness  at  the  English  school  and  the  American 
college  have  been  proved  apocryphal  by  testi- 
mony of  teachers  and  schoolmates,  while  the 
episode  at  'West  Point,  where  he  was  ehtered 
for  the  Army,  only  proves  that  the  routine  was 
too  wearisome  for  his  mind.  He  wished  to 
leave,  and  secured  his  dismissal  by  just  enough 
Insubordination.  The  volume  of  poems  pub- 
ftshed  while  a  cadet  was  not  his  first,  but  on  the 
contrary,  a  third  edition.  At  least  two  volumes  of 
Juvenile  poems  had  been  issued  previoas  to  his 
entrance,  but  their  existence  was  iiardly  known 
to  lialf  a  dozen  people.  Here  are  some  stanzas 
of  a  satire  on  a  certain  Mr.  Joseph  Locke,  who 
was  hated  by  the  cadets  for  "reporting''  their 
pranks: 

**  As  for  T,ocke.  he  is  nil  in  mv  eye. 

May  the  devil  right  soon  for  his  soul  call  i 
He  never  was  kuowu  to  lie 
In  bed  at  a  rtceUU  roUnsH 

*'  John  Locke  was  a  notable  name, 
Joe  Locke  is  a  creater  ;  in  short. 
The  former  is  well  known  to  fame. 
But  the  latter'a  well  known  to  report." 

These  and  other  early  verses  show  a  lack  of 
ear  for  rhythm,  which  Poe  afterward  overcame. 
From  the  first  he  showed  a  tendency  to  mo- 
notony in  rhyme — that  is  to  say,  a  love  of  repe- 
tition of  the  same  sound  over  and  over  again. 
The  comparatively  few  pieces  which  Mr.  Gill 
gives  in  this  book  show  the  fact  strikingly, -and 
by  turning  to  a  volume  of  his  poems  it  is  still 
more  apparent.  "  The  Bells  "  is  probably  the 
most  complete  example  of  this  constitutional 
;  liking.  A  trait  so  marked  cannot  exist  without 
a  reason  of  corresponding  importance,  and  that 
^reason  may  plausibly  be  traced  in  the  lineage  of 
IPoe.  Without  going  into  the  question  of  the 
■origination  of  the  name  in  the  north  of  Italy, 
•where  t>e  River  Po  is  supposed  to  have  given 
iname  to  an  old  family,  or  an  old  family  given 
:iiame  to  it — without  raisiii^  a  question  as 
to  the  Le  Peers  of  France,  England,  and  Ire- 
land, it  is  sufficient  to  say  tliat  Poe  had  un- 
doubted Irish  ancestry.  His  grandfather — 
*I>avld — left  Ireland  when  only  2  years  of  age, 
and  a  relative  of  his  who  was  a  counselor-at- 
law  tn  Ihiblin,  wrote  a  long  poem,  quoted  by 
Hr.  GHU,  which  Robert  Bums  liked  so  much 
that  he  wrote  it  out  and  interleaved  it  with  a 
-volume  of  Johnson's  Musical  Museuvi,  present- 
ed by  him  to  a  friend.  Each  stanza  ends  with 
■fbe  Irish  lines : 

"  AA .'  gramachrie,  »ia  chaUie  nougt, 
Mo  MuUy  Oiture."  i 

Poe's  grandfather  married  a  lady  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, with  a  Scottish  name — Caimes — and  his 
father,  the  result  of  this  union,  married  an  act- 
Teas  with  an  English  name — Elizabeth  Arnold. 
Poe  was,  therefore,  Scoto-Irish  by  his  father 
and  CO  his  mother's  side  English  according  to  an 
Indeterminable  proportion.  But  his  figure, 
Jiis  features,  the  general  expression  of 
his  genius,  and  imhappily  some  of  his 
worst  fatilts,  were  particularly  those  of  Irishmen. 
Both  his  virtues  and  vices  were  Irish.  Now, 
when  it  comes  to  his  poetry,  that  is  found  to 
contain  the  very  same  qualities  that  the  Irish 
and  Keltic-Scottish  muse  has  always  ex- 
hibited :  an  imaginative  flight  of  tremendous 
power,  and  often  equal  vagueness,  together  with 
an  audacity  of  invention  that  sometimes  falls 
into  mendadousness.  The  structure  of  Poe's 
verse  will  be  found  to  exhibit  a  weakness  of 
rhythm  combined  with  a  loving  reiteration  of 
the  same  sound  over  and  over  aeain,  which 
has  the  effect  of  poverty  of  languagg^^So  the 
piayer  on  the  bagpipes,  the  Keltic  mu^cal  In- 
strument, finds  a  fresh  and  simple  charm  In 
the  unceasing  drone  on  a  pair  of  notes. 

Just  as  one  cannot  help  Uklng  many  so.  Irish- 
man, while  hesitating  to  approve  of  what  he 
does  and  says,  so  the  friends  and  aequaintazices 
of  Poe  who  still  survive  are  ready  to  come  for- 
ward and  testify  to  the  many  good  and  attract- 
ive qualities  of  the  man.  There  can  be  no 
doubt  that  a  very  little  alcohoUo  stimulus  up- 
set his  constitution.  It  is  by  no  means  a  rare 
phenomenon  to  see  men  who  get  the  reputation, 
and  finally  the  character,  of  drunkards,  by  mere- 
ly drinking,  for  the  sake  of  sodability,  an 
amouat  of  alcohol  that  will  give  ordinary  men 
only  a  gentle  exhilaration.  This  is  particularly 
frequent  with  the  sons  of  hard  drinkers. 
But  any  one  who  shows  the  effect  of  liquor, 
even  If  it  be  a  teaspoonful,  jnight  just 
as  well  have  '  drrmk  a  cask  of  wine; 
iths.  world  quotes  it  and  bewares  of  Mm 
This  must  have  been  very  ^pressing  to 
Poe,  for  he  could  not  help  being  aware  of  the 
feeling  of  insecurity  people  had  for  him.  And 
jvt,  aU  the  while,  his  oonscience  told  him  that 
ha  was  doing  everything  possible  for  his^'wif  e 
and  mother-in-law ;  that  he  was  not  a  monster 
In  any  sense  of  the  word,  and  that  his  harsh 
levlawa  of  other  writers,  which  raised  him  up  a 
3uwt  of  wncTniB«,  were  needed  to  eonntaraot,  iji 
Uteratnre,  the  deadly  breath  of  money  in  a 
eommniilty  almost  entirely  mercantile. 

We  began  by  saying  that  the  writer  of  a  life

ANCIENT  SOCTETT :  oa,  RESEARCHES  DTTO  THE 
LINES  OF  UUIIAN  FBOGEESS  FROM  SAVAOB- 
EY  THROUGH  BARBARISM  TO  CrVTUZATlON. 
By  Ljcwis  H.  Uoroax,  LL.  D.  New-york:  HxSia 
Holt  &  Co.    Pp.  5(iU. 

This  book,  of  the  royal  octavo  kind,  is  on 
a  subject  which  is  naturally  one  of  the  most  in- 
teresting in  the  world — that  which,  accord- 
ing to  Pope,  is  -^e  proper  study  of  man- 
kind, and  which  has  for  ages  incited  the  philo- 
sophical or  merely  curious  inquiries  of  ethnol- 
ogiats-^hat  is  to  say,  the  infancy  of  the  human 
race  and  the  early  growth  of  society  from  the 
first  simple  conditions  of  the  family  or  house- 
hold. I 

Gathering  and  comparing  the  facts  and  c<}n- 
clusions  of  other  writers  on  this  theme.  Dr. 
Morgan  assumes,  and  probably  very  justly,  toat 
men,  whatever  may  bare  been  their  origin, 
were  savages  at  first ;  and  also  assumes,  though 
this  may  not  seem  so  very  evident,  that  ojar 
homogeneous  race  has  been  wandering  over  she 
earth  from  the  geologic  periods,  say  for  a  hundred 
thousand  or  two  hundred  thousand  years.  In 
a  deliberate  and  ample  way,  suitable  enougl  to 
a  theme  of  so  muct^  gravity  and  perplexity,  he 
formulizes  the  cycles  of  old  society  into  the  6  iv- 
age,  (or  lower,)  the  barbarian,  (next  abova,) 
and  the  civilized,  subdividing  the  first  of  tb  ese 
into  the  lower,  middle,  and  upper  status  of 
savagery,  and  the  second  in  a  similar  way ;  (  nd 
drawing,  as  he  carries  out  his  plan,  upon  :he 
logic  of  inferences  i^i  a  great  degree,  yet  giv  ng 
it  a  certain  force  which  it  may  not  be 
very  easy  to  gainsay.  He  shows  1  ow 
each  of  these  periods  must  have  had  its 
peculiar  ctilture  and  conditions.  The  earl  est 
people,  living  in  the  lowest  status  of  savagi  ry, 
must  have  lived  on  fruits  and  roots,  and  wo  old 
be  logically  found  in  the  tropical  and  sub-trop  ical 
regions  of  tne  earth,  thus  pointing  to  the  Ic  eal- 
ity  which  people  have  always  regarded  as  the 
place  of  human,  origin. I  Fish  he  regi  rds 
as  the  next  sort  of  aliment  among  tl  ose 
savages,  who  must  have  eaten  it  raw  at  t  rst, 
beginning  with  shell-fish ;  a  state  of  th:  ngs 
largely  vouched  for  by  the  testimony  of  the 
Danish  Sjokkenmoeddings ;  and  as  fish  s  a 
"  brain  food,"  it  is  natural  to  suppose  it  las- 
tened  the  invention  -  of  language,  W>  ich 
our  author  attributes,  to  this  pe  riud 
of  savagerj-.  This  idea  seems  to  be 
a  just  one,  since  the  !  efforts  at  ape  :ch, 
however  cacophonotis  and  gesticulatory,  i  mat 
have  been  among  the  very  first  made  by  mi  n  in 
this  world.  Keit,  (in  a  superior  status,  the  bar- 
barian,) men  would  cultivate  and  live  on  the 
farinaceous  foods,  such  as  mainly  sustaiuec  i  our 
American  tribes,  who  had  no  such  plenty  ol  an- 
imals as  helped  with  meat  and  milk  (the  lext 
improved  order  of  aliment)  the  progress  of  the 
Asiatics,  and  in  our  author's  opinion,  gav  5  to 
the  Arj'an  and  .Semitic  races  that  supreuiac; '  of 
mind  and  muscle  which  has  become  a  matt*  r  of 
such  historic  evidence  and  philological  comg  rat- 
ulation.  Our  author  does  not  discuss  the  el  !ect 
of  aliment  on  national  character ;  but  it  n  Ight 
be  a  moot  question  of  interest  to  decide  in  that 
degree  the  carnivorous  habits  of  men  hav<  in- 
fluenced tiie  murdi  of  what  we  call  civiliza  ion, 
that  is,  the  march  of  the  strong  over  the  v  eok. 
The  beef -eaters  are  now  in  the  ascendun  ;,  as 
were  the  horse-eaturs  in  the  old  Mongolian  ( ays, 
and  the  rice-feeders  are  giving  ground  c\  exy- 
where.  The  dread  question  of  "strong  driik," 
wiiich  so  closely  toucues  that  of  strong  fo<  d,  is 
one  that  we  only  venture  to  glance  at,  since  LK>th 
would  seem  in  some  unaccoimtable  way  t  >  be 
mixed  up  with  our  customary  order  of  civ  llza- 
tion. 

The  premises  of  these  researches  are  deiived 
from  the  contemporary  evidence  of  some  Ha- 
-^^aiian  and  Australian  customs,  which  are  like- 
\iise  traced  in  the  liistories  of  our  chief  A  mer- 
ican  tribes,  those  of  the  Greelu  and  Boe  lans, 
and  also  of  several  Asiatic  races  ;  and  th(  tes- 
timonies thus  gathered  from  modem  so  irces 
and  collated,  in  a  general  way,  with  tho  le  of 
ancient  writers,  all  tend  to  sustain  the  irgu- 
mcnt  of  this  book,  viz.,  that  civilization  ^ew 
gradually  along  with  the  needs  and  contriv  .nces 
of  men,  from  the  family  in  the  first  place  ;  next 
into  the  gens,  (a  mpdification  of  the  fan  ily  ;) 
next  into  the  phratry,  or  confederacy  of  Jiree 
or  more  gentes  ;  then  into  the  tribe,  com^  losed 
of  several  phratries  ;  and  lastly  into  the  :  itate, 
a  union  of  tribes.  The  subject  is  fully  disci  ssed, 
as  It  has  been  already  by  a  number  of  able 
writers,  and  must  always  be  interesting  fc  r  tho 
new  ^insights  and  conclusions  to  be  gat  lered 
from  the  reports  of  travelers  and  tl  9  sa. 
gacity  of  ethnological  scientists.'  The  nov- 
elty of  this  work  will  be  found  ii  its 
main  argument — the  thread,  so  to  spea  :,  on 
which  the  author  strings  his  conclusiom  —the 
argument  of  sex,  and  the  ancient  supremi  cy  of 
woman.  This  is  traced  through  the  early  g  rades 
of  savagery,  upward  into  the  gens,  the  p%atry 
andrthe  tribe,  to  the  borders  of  civilizati  rn,  in 
all  countries  ;  and  it  is  hard  to  resist  th  i  con- 
viction that  it  was!  the  influence  mid  ever  mas- 
tery of  women  which  molded  the  aocial  pi  litics 
and  progress  of  our  race  in  the  early  ages  i  f  the 
world — ^a  proposition  which  the  general  ty  of 
people  are  not  accustomed  to  recognize.  But 
the  German,  Bachojen,  in  his  work  I)as  Jl  utter- 
recht,  and  other  advanced  ethnologists,  have 
thrown  such  light  on  the  subject  that  th  t  con- 
clusions of  the  book  before  us  cannot  be  <  Lisre- 
garded.  We  must,  iu  fact,  accustom  ouri  elves 
to  think  that  women  were  once  of  more  wcial 
dignity  than  their  husbands,  that  the  term 
"  better  half  "  was  no  joke  when  applied  to  a 
wife  in  the  "  savage  period,"  and  that,  in  all 
phlioiogical  seriousness,  we  should  regard  it 
as  a  traditional  expression,  full  of  ethnic  signifl- 
cancy. 

Dr.  Morgan  presents  tho  explanation  of  this 
very  curious  piece  of  ancientry.  It  is  briefly  this 
— that  the  woman  only  could  verify  parentage 
and  transmit  name,  right,  and  property  ii .  days 
of  consanguine  and  indiscriminate  man  iages, 
such  as  were  the  rule  of  the  "  first  familie  i "  in 
all  countries.  In  dealing  with  this  rathi  r  be- 
wildering and  unsatisfactory  subject  of  poly- 
andry and  polygamy,  he  be^ns  with  the  mar- 
riages of  the  contemporary  Hawaiians  an(  Aus- 
tralians, as  described  by  Rev.  Lorimer  Fison 
and  others,  and,  arguing  backward  thro-  igh  a 
crowd  of  testimonies,  contends  that  the  ej  Isting 
customs  are  a  continuance  of  those  wiiich  i  lay  be 
presumed  to  have  existed  thousands  of  yea  s  ago. 
He  formulizes  what  old  records  tell  us  co  icem- 
ing  the  ancient  marriage  customs  ;  no  i  very 
distinctly,  perliape,  but  still  in  such  i  way 
as  to  show  that  he  approaches  very  ne  u*  the 
truth.  He  states  that  the  earliest  marria  ;es  of 
savages  were  first  of  the  "  consanguine  "  order, 
(of  brothers,  sisters,  and  cousins  ;)  then  Puna- 
luan,  (from  a  Polynesian  term  moaning  '  dear 
friend,")  wiiich  describes  an  improved  ru  e,  un- 
der which  a  group  of  men  married  a  gr(  up  of 
women,  (not  consanguine, )  and  the  con  bmed 
groups  lived  togetlier  in  close  marriage  inter- 
ootirse.  like  the  Hassaget^  described  I  y  He- 
rodotus. After  this  ca'me  the  marrii  ge  of 
•'  pairs,"  here  called  "  Sandyasmian,"  in  which 
man  and  wife  lived  together,  with  lilx  rty  to 
pairt  at  any  time.  Next  came  the  patriar  hal  in 
the  Hebrew  or  Turkish  way,  and  Is  it  the 
Monogamian.  It  was  under  those  "  con- 
sanguine "  and  "  group  "  marriages  th  ht  the 
family  supremacy  of  women  grew  into  a  >ower- 
ful  ethnic  law  which  endured  for  age: ,  and 
when  it  had  ceased,  left  iu  traces  upon  1  be  rc- 
■  formed  condition  of  society  in  the  gre  tt  his- 
toric nations.  From  these  traces  our  e'  hnolo- 
gists  argue  by  Inference  ;  and  though,  as  the 
witty  Lord  Halifax,  of  Queen  Anne's  tim  t,  used 
to  say,  "  There  is  nothing  so  lilcely  to  cr  ick  in

elasslo  natlans  tell  ni  that  members  of  a  gens 
were  forbid  to  nuorr  in  it,'  and  obliged  to  Took 
to  other  gohtss  for  i  wives  of  husbands.  The 
prolxibition  pointed;  to  the '*,' consanguine "  or 
'•  group  "  marriage  ctistoms  of  preceding  ages. 
Herodotus  t*lU  ub  how  the  Lvcians  counted  de- 
soent  Iji.  the  female  line,  ihe  Etruscans  had 
the  same  ancient  law,  and  held  women  in  high 
social  respect;  while  Bachofen,  in  his  Mutter- 
rttht,  hai  quoted  the  customs  of  Athenians, 
Cretun^,  Eajptian-s,  Locriaj).i,  and  several 
Asiatic  K-."Mion3  to  the  same  effect.  In  the  Tim- 
mus  of  Plato,  Socratt-s  is  made  to  say  that  ho  rec- 
ommended a  community  of  wives  and  children 
for  his  ideal  republic ;  and  Julius  Csesar  says 
that  in  Britain  groups  of  men  and  women  were 
in  the  habit  of  living  indiscriminately  together. 
There  is  in  fact  evidence  enough  to  "show  that 
women  once  had  the  social  mastery  over  men, 
and  also  to  indicate  the  reason  why. 

That  *' mother-right"  or  *'  woman-right"  is 
beyond  doubt  one  of  the  most  remarkaile  fea- 
tures of  all  history;  and  it  cannot  be  entirely 
confined  to  the  studies  of  the  archipologists  or 
the  categorj  of  curious  things.  It  may,  iu  fact, 
have  some  unsuspected  bearings  on  the  legends, 
fables,  traditions,  and  folk-lore,  not  alone  of 
ancient,  but  of  modem  literattire.  It  may,  for 
instance,  help  us  to  e.xplain  the  apparition  and 
story  of  the  Amazons.  It  may" also  suggest 
some  interpretation  of  the  laughable  Couvade, 
as  practiced  among  the  Basques  and  certain 
tribes  of  the  Caucasus,  India,  and  South 
America.  It  may  have  some  connection  with 
tho  Keltic  idea  of  "fosterage"  and  the  removal 
of  children  from  the  parental  home ;  and  may 
throw  sonwi  light  on  the  law  of  Tanistry,  uiuler 
which  the  sion  of  a  chieftain's  sister  usually  suc- 
ceeded hin ,  in  preference  to  his  own  son.  It 
may,  in  connection  with  tho  law  of  prohibition 
in  the  gens,  sug^e.'^t  the  origin  of  marriage  by 
"  capture,"  which  has  been  such  a  feature  in  the 
life  of  maiiy  Asiatic  tribes,  and  also  some  re- 
mote raisim  d'etre  for  the  Amazonian  body- 
guard of  (lie  King  of  Dahomey.  Certainly,  a 
system  wiiich  had  endured  for  so  many  'pre- 
historic ages  must  have  left  many  traces  on  the 
lines  of  h  iman  progress.  But  it  came  to  nu 
end  at  last ;  and  man,  ashamed  of  being  nothing 
in  the  family  oi-  gens,  resolved  to  assert  his  right 
to  his  property  and  his  children.  To  this  end 
the  gens  w  is  reformed,  marriage  within  it  was 
forbidden,  I  and  at  the  same  time  men  became 
more  circumspect  and  rational  in  the  marriage 
relations.  This  gave  tfio  gens  a  stronger  physi- 
cal charac  ;er,  w^ith  a  higher  and  better  order  of 
intellect,  is  a  natural  consequence.  Such  is, 
in  fact,  the  condition  in  whicli  it  presents  itself 
at  the  dawp  of  authentic  history.  From  that 
period— sa^-  1,000  years  before  our  era— the 
woman-mastcr>' passed  away.  The  sex  became 
cabined,  cribbed,  confined,  sent  to  the  back 
aparimenfis,  and  otherwise  deprived  of  their 
old  liberty,  it  was  a  noteworthy  revolution, 
and  greatttr  than  any  the  world  has  witnessed 
in  the  subsequent  Jieriods  of  time. 

Following  the  traces  of  the  geus.  phratrv.  and 
tribe  in  various  parts  of  the  world.  Dr.  ifur'.ran 
gives  a  ne|v  coloring  and  interest  to  our  Ameri- 
can histories  of  the  Iroquois,  Aztecs,  and  other 
native  racfes.  On  the  subject  of  the  .Me.\ie:ius 
he  flnda  fault,  very  justly,  with  the  imperfect 
and  extravagant  statements  of  the  Spanish 
chroniclers ;  yet  is  able  to  find  indications  of  the 
gens  .-uid  phratry  among  the  Aztecs.  Ami  this, 
it  may  be  observed,  wa.-*  natural  enough,  since  tho 
latter  bora  a  nameof  tribal  .siguificancy,  vouched 
for  by  tlie  Hindoo,  Assyrian.  Keltic  and  old 
English  terms,  caste,  ki.ssat,  host,  ccist.  all  of 
which  have  the  meaning  of  race 'and  tribe.  On 
the  ground  of  Greece,  which  may  be  called  tho 
head-quarters  of  his  nomenclature,  he  funis 
many  conflicting  testimonie.-*.  Some  Iiistoriuns 
— Grote  among  them— contend  that  the  early 
Hellenes  had  a  system  of  little  kin:rs,  while  ti) 
our  authojr  the  gens  and  phnitr>-  s-eem  to.  liavo 
been  puijely  democratic.  This  dispute  about 
things  probably  grew  from  words.  The  most 
democratic  gens  would  have  war  nnd  religion, 
and  the  i  names  for  a  king  (lMi!iil*:n9  and  rejr) 
were  given  both  to  the  war-leaderand  the  priest. 
since  those  words  hu<l  the  common  meaning  of 
"commander"  and  "prunouncer."'  l>emocracy, 
in  fa;t.  was  never  without  its  kings,  whether  of 
the  w.'iriike,  sacerdotal  or  "railway"  order. 
This  is  aUo  suggested  by  the  early  his- 
tory of  ^the  lionmus  '  and  tho  eponymous 
Komnlus — a  story  attributed  to  Pepart-thus.  a 
wanilerer  from  .\tlica,  (after  the  time  of  tho 
.Second  I'unic  War,)  who  taught  langitafies  in 
Italy,  and  dressed  up  the  Roman  oriijin'-4  in  the 
Greek  style.  This  clover  man  was  very  likely 
the  originator  of  a  blunder  that  h.is  misled  all 
the  learned  since  his  day.  lie  estalilishe*!  tho 
idea  tliat  the  jxility  of  Kii^ine  was  arranged  by 
threes,  thus  suggesting  that  the  imrner.d  wa,s 
tlie  root  of  the  term  triliiis  ;  a  term  tliat  really 
came  from  the;  root  lar,  which,  in  aliuust  all  old 
languages,  had  and  has  the  nieaiiing  of 
"progeny"  and  "tribe."  That  order! iig  of  tlie 
Roman  tribes  into  the  Kbamues,  the  Titles,  and 
the  Luceres  owes  its  oriirin  veryevideurly*  to  a 

fiece  of  Greek  paronomasia  naturalii'.ed  iti 
taly — one  of  the  thousand  puns  that  vitiate,  in 
an  unsuspected  way.  the  early  records  i*(  alm»>st 
all  iiationH.  Such  a  pun  has  confused  the  .Aiiirl.e 
Saxon  history  of  land-tenure,  making  tao 
"  Imndrt'd."  which  was  really  the  Keltic  ritint-nd, 
or  "ci>iintry -tract.''  to  coutain  pre-isely  one 
hundred  homesteads. 

.\inina  the  interesting  facts  l)roui;ht  tOErether 
in  th  s'-  jiagcs  may  be  noted  a  few  that  connect 
our  .\  iM-ricau  abortiriues  with  some  f;u>retuoved 
tribes  .likhe  Old  World.  csjK-cially  in  the  mat- 
ter lit  I'efrmj.  Tho  Kols  of  India  have  clafis 
named  afler  animals.  Tlie  Toiiirouse  tribes  are 
■uamed  isi  the  •Mime  way,  from  horses,  deer,  doirs. 
kf~  Soiare  tho  Chinese  iu  many  places,  tho 
Bechuanfis  in  Africa,  and  the  N'arringeri  of 
Australia.  This  (y/trft*  fusliiou.was  found,  and 
may  still  exist,  among  the  Iroqnols.  Algonquins, 
Cherokees,  and  most  other  American  races; 
and  the  little  word  that  tiescribes  it 
was  a  familiar  one  among  the  families 
of  .-Vsiatics  and  Kelts,  signifying  everywhere 
"  tribe."  Tho  animal  adopted  was  always  rever- 
enced and  seldom  eaten.  The  ancient  Gauls  had 
their  totttti.  the  cock,  a  stout  military  bird, 
bearing  a  name  like  their  own  :  for  the  pun  has 
been  In  all  ages  the  first  principle  of  heraldry. 
The  Pranks  had  theirs — a  namesake — the  fronk, 
or  frog,  which,  among  their  descendants,  has 
received  a  treatment  running  counter  to  all  rule 
of  ancientry,  those  people  being  for  a  long  time 
in  the  habit  of  cooking  and  eating  their  iotrms. 
and  thus  exhibitingthe  irreverent  philosophy  of 
the  race  and  its  revolutionary  disregard  of  old 
beliefs  and  traditions. 

Dr.  Morgan's  work  is  full  of  suggestion  .".nd 
instruction,  conveyed  in  an  aflluent  and  ample 
style  of  easy  writing.  This,  while  it  indicates 
tho  writer's  familiarity  with  his  theme  may. 
nevertheless,  lead  some  matter-of-fact  readers 
to  wish  for  what  might  be  termed  a  simpler  and 
closer  manner  of  treatment.  The  subject  in- 
volves a  good  deal  of  generalization  and  di.s- 
cursivetiess,  and  these  are  apt  to  tax  the  atten- 
tion of  the  too  hasty  reader — and  most  readers, 
in  a  very  voluminous  age  like  the  present,  are 
apt  to  live*under  the  annike  jind  compulsion  of 
ho-ste.  This  makes  them  rather  exacting  on 
tho  occurrence  of  such  works  as  these  it'e- 
aeurcliesi  and  especially  desirous  of  a  compre- 
hensive index.  The  book  before  us  would  cer- 
tainly require  an  ampler  index  than  that  which 
has  been  attached  to  it.  For  the  rest,  it  is 
broughlj  out  in  what  may  bo  called  the  best 
style  of  typography,  and  presents  altogether  a 
very  elegant  and  attractive  exterior. 


TBS  Xh-IONKLLI  WILL  CASE. 
The  Rome  correspondent  of  the  London 
Timea  telegraphing  on  JiUy  26  says  :  "  This  morning 
the  Tribtmal  pronounced  its  decision  in  favor  of  tho 
plaintiff  on  the  point  before  the  Court  in  the  Anto- 
nelli  case.  It  was  given  in  the  form  of  a  diffuse  sum- 
ming-up prepared  by  the  President  Cavaliore  Pio 
TQodrani,  and  pointed  out  at  length  that  neither  tho 
Italian  Civil  Coda  nor  the  Roman  and  Canon  Law 
placed  any  prohibition  on  the  prvof  of 
birth  by  means  of  personal  testimony.  In 
cases  of  this  kind,  consequently,  oa  ac- 
count of  the  age  and  inflrmity  of  the 
.\rchpriest  Venditti  and  of  Tamburlini,  the  eldest  of 
the  Cfart^inal's  servants,  the  trihanal  ordered  their 
examination  pro  jutura  riiemoria  ,-  but  held  that  the 
midwife,  Gervase,  being  in  cood  health,  the  saaie 
grounds  for  her  exar«'.nat  ion  did  not  exist.  The  court 
delegated  to  the  Judge  Cavaliere  Spaziaui  the  task 
of  receiving  the  evidence  of  tho  two  witnesses 
early  in  August,  ordering  at  the  same  time 
that  their  depositions  should  rem,-iin  secret 
and  in  the  ctistody  of  the  Chancellor  of  the  Court. 
The  decision  now  pronounced  does  not  in  point 
of  law  prejudge  the  t^enentl  question  of  the  admlssi- 
biflty  of  oral  testimony  to  be  tried  m  Kovembor;  but 
from  the  line  of  argument  laid  down  in  the  decision 
now  given,  it  may  be  expected  the  court  will  then 
accotS  the  right  to  eiaimne  the  70  witnesses  to  be 
brouehtforward.  (ireat  admiration  was  expressed  by 
members  of  the  Roman  Bar  in  court  at  the  lucidity 
and  learning  displayed  in  the  judgment.  The  Count's 
Antonelli  having  to  produce  in  court  the  Cardinal's 
will,  published  in  the  Times  last  December,  Countess 
Labertini  has  declared  her  Intention  of  impounding 
it,  on  the  grotmds  of  forgery  and  inefficacy.'

In  Utah  Cacln- and  Malade  Vallevs  were  badly  in- 
fected. AbjmtiPi-Hukiin,  Utah,  one-third  of  the  wheat 
crop  was  repurteil  ns  devoured  by  them.  The  winged 
locusts  were  beginning  to  tiy  June  1 1.  These  locusts 
■will  probably  mikrrate  to  Middle  and  Southern  Utah. 
Though  mlimerims  aboiit  Farmiu^ton,  Utah,  on  the 
shores  of  $u|lt  Ljike,  little  injury  was  done,  as  the 
season  waa  late,  wet,  and  cold,  and  hatching  was

In  Idaho]  s  aattered  broods  of  y onus  were  seen  along

DE.A.TH  AFTER   LONG   SUFFERING. 

The  Rochester  Union  of  Thursday,  9th  inst., 
says :  * '  This  morning  Mrs.  Ann  Mary,  wife  of  George 
Heherger,  St.  Michaers  street,  died  after  an  illness 
extending  back  for  15  years.  She  was  af&icted  at 
first  with  rheumatism,  and  for  the  whole  15  years 
has  not  lain  upon  a  bed  or  walkod  a  step.  For  the 
past  five  years  she  has  not  been  out  of  her  chair, 
even  to  ait  upon  a  couch.  Her  spine  and  limbs  were 
distorted,  and  stiffened,  and  she  was  bent  forward 
nearly  double.  Her  head  would  rest  on  the  hack  of  a 
chair,  and  in  that  position  for  five  years  she  has  pa- 
tiently awaited  death.  She  was  62  years  of  ace  at 
tbo  time  of  her  death.  She  leaves  a  large  family  of 
adult  children."

A   MODEST  YOUNG   LADT. 

The  Oswego  Palladinm  describes  the  nnlucky 
adventure  of  two  young  women  as  follows:  "Miss 
Beebe  and  Miss  Vandyke  went  swimming  in  Vander- 
camp  Fond,  town  of  Constantia,  the  other  day,  at- 
tired In  the  thinnest  of  fabrics.  A  young  lad  whom 
they  knew  came  along  with  a  boat,  and  they  induced 
him  to  take  them  in.  He  put  out  into  the  pond,  and 
tbe  girls  tiiinklng  it  was  fanny  to  rock  tlie  boat,  went 
at  It  and  tipped  her  over.  "They  .sank  twice  before 
help  reached  them,  and  then  all  the  clothes  were  torn 
off  rrom  one  of  the  young  women  in  the  effort  to  save 
her.  She  went  down  again,  and  positively  refused  to 
be  saved  till  tbey  could  get  something  to  put  around 
her,  which  was   finally  accomplished,   and  she   was 


hauled  out.' 


THE  ATTRACTIVE  YOUNG  RAILROAD  COM- 
PANION. 
The  Oswego  Tunes  savs :  "  A  few  days  ago 
Miss  Carrie  Lynch  left  Carleton,  Vt.,  for  Oswego  via 
Saratoga.  Her  baggage  consisted  of  a  trunk  and 
sachel  containing  her  clothes.  On  the  way  to  Sara- 
toga a  polite,  well-dressed  young  man  took  a  vacant 
Seat  beside  her  and  nuide  her  acquaintance.  He  was 
also  coming  to  Oswego,  and  would  be  glad  to  be  of 
scr\-ice  to  her.  At  Saratoga  he  took  her  check  and 
had  her  bafac»ge  checked  to  Schenectady.  At  Schenec- 
tady he  again  obtained  the  check,  and  told  her  ho 
would  have  her  baggage  rechocked  to  Oswego,  He 
left  the  car,  and  that  was  the  last  she  has  seen  of  the 
young  man  or  the  check.  "When  she  arrived  in  Os- 
wrtfo  she  found  that  her  trunk  and  sachel  had  not 
been  forwarded  here.  The  young  man  was  probably 
a  confidence  operator,  and  took  possession  of  her 
effects  at  Schenectady." 


HOW   A   CONDUCTOR    GOT    HIS  TARE. 

Tlie  MiddletowTi  Press  pives  the  following  inci- 
dent in  connection  witli  the  duties  of  a  popular  con- 
ductor on  tbe  Erie  Railway :  .**  Conductor  James 
Tinnoy,  on  loa'ring  Jersey  City  recently,  found  a  pas- 
sencer  ou  his  train,  a  woman  with  a  baby  in  her 
arms,  who  refused  to  pay  her  fare-  Not  wishing  to 
put  her  off  the  train  between  two  stations,  being  too 
gallant  a  man  for  that,  he  allowed  her  to  ride  to  Pat- 
erson.  At  that  point  the  woman  got  off,  and,  in  as- 
sLsting  her  to  al%ht,  Conductor  Timiey  got  pos- 
session of  the  baby.  He  tucked  the  juvenile  under 
his  ariu,  and  notified  the  woman  that  when  she  bad 
naid  her  fare  she  could  have  tbe  baby-,  and  not  Wfore. 
The  baby  began  kicking  and  squalling  as  Conductor 
7^nney  started  for  tho  depot.  The  woman  pursned 
him.  pocket-book  in  hand,  and  finally  paid  her  fare, 
receiving  in  return  the  baby.  Ou  opening  her  pocket- 
bffok  it  was  seeu  that  she  had  plenty  of  money,  and 
her  conduct,  therefor©  was  inexcusable.  The  ques- 
tion naturally  arises,  what  wonld  Mr.  Tinney  nave 
done  if  the  mother  bad  declined  to  pay,  and  walked 
off  leaving  the  baby  in  his  possession. 


A  LITTLE  GIRL  WHO  WAS  NOT  AFRAID. 
The  Audubon  (Minn.)  Journal  teUa  the  fol- 
lowing of  a  little  girl,  3  years  old,  daughter  of  Frank 
Smith,  of  Pelican,^  Minn.,  and  niece  of  S.  M.  Wood- 
worth,  of  Andnbon  :  "  While  Mrs.  Woodworth  was 
on  a  visit  to  her  sister,  Mrs.  Smith  was  taken  alarm- 
ingly ill  Mr.  Smith  was  away  from  home  at  the 
time,  and  no  one  near  the  hoase  to  render  assistance 
save  Mrs.  Woodworth  and  the  child.  Mrs.  Wood- 
worth  could  not  leave,  so  she  called  little  Angio  and 
asked  her  to  go  to  the  hotise  of  a  neighbor,  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile  distant,  and  summon  assistance. 
The  child  did  as  she  was,  directed  in  an  incredibly 
short  space  of  time,  and  hpon  her  return  with  the 
neighbor  it  was  found  necessary  to  summon  a  physi- 
cian. It  was  now  ncariy  dark,  and  a  storm  brewing : 
yet  this  brave  little  heroine  again  took  tbe  road  and 
went  to  the  nearest  neighbor's  house,  a  distance  of 
one  and  a  fourth  miles  in  the  opposite  direction  from 
her  first  trip,  where  she  tound  a  man  to  go  for  a  physi- 
cian. Ere  her  return  home  the  storm  had  so  in- 
creased as  to  render  her  progress  very  slow,  and  the 
vivid  and  constant  lightning  might  well  have  stricken 
terror  into  the  heart  of  many  an  older  pedestrian  ; 
yet  this  3-year-old  child  bravely  and  faithfully  per- 
formed her  mission  and  returned  in  safety." 


LOLA  MONTEZ'S  HAIR   IN  A   FIDDLE-BOW. 

TheVirgiHia  (Nev.)  Enterprise  contains  the 
following:  "John,  Hull  Pennville,  who  passed 
through  this  city  a  day  or  two  since  from  Plumas 
County,  Cal.,  on  his  way  to  Esmeralda  County,  in 
this  State,  has  In  his  possession  a  curioas  relio-of  that 
strange  and  adventurous  woman,  Lola  Montez.  Mr. 
Pennville  is  an  acoomplifihed  vioUnist,  and  at  the 
time  when  Ix)lawa8  residing  in  Grass  Vallev,  Cal., 
was  in  the  habit  of  playing  for  her  in  order  that  she 
might  practice  some  new  dance  of  her  own  invention. 
The  violinist  had  a  strong  passion  for  making  collec- 
tions of  himian  hair,  particularly  the  long  tresses  of 
women.  He  had  several  times  hinted  to  Lola  his 
great  desire  to  possess  a  tress  of  her  hair,  but 
she  refused  to  take  these  bints,  however 
plaudy  made.  At  this  time  I#ola  had  in  her  posses- 
sion at  her  home  In  Grass  Valley  a  young  bear  that 
she  was  training  for  some  purpose,  she  being  at  that 
time  but  about  39  years  of  age,  and  still  full  of  lif e 
and  ambition.  One  day  when  Pennville  again  hinted 
about  the  trosa,  Lola  saX&:  '  Mr.  Fennvule,  if  you 
will  go  into  that  back  yard,  throw  that  bear  to  the 
ground  and  hold  him  one  minute  by  my  watch.  I 
will  give  you  a  strand  of  mvbair  lar^e  enough  for 
the  bow  of  y^ur  violin!'  'Done!'  cned  Pemivillo, 
and  he  at  once  nroceeded  to  tbe  yard  for  his  tussle 
with  the  bear,  Lola  following  to  time  him.  The  bear 
was  a  grizzly,  not  yet  old  enough  to  be  very  danger- 
ous, and  Pennville,  proceeding  as  thotigh  at  plav 
with  the  animal,  with  ver>*  little  trouble  or  risk 
succeeded  in  winning  the  much-coveted  lock  of  hair. 
The  tress  was  promptly  surrendered,  and  Pennville 
long  kept  it  among  the  other  specimens  in  his  collec- 
tion, but  when  be  heard  of  Lola's  death  be  remem- 
bered her  words  at  the  time  he  won  tho  memento,  '  I 
will  give  j-on  a  strand  large  enough  for  the  bow  of 
your  violin,' and  placed  the  hair  in  the  handsomeet 
bow  he  could  procure,  where  it  remains  to  this  day. 
Pennville  Is  now  quite  an  old  man.  and  does  not  ap- 
pear to  be  overburdened  with  this  world's  goods,  but 
it  would  take  a  large  gmn  of  money  to  purchase  that 
fiddle  bow."

room, and  at  the  adjoamment  of  this  meeting 
the  President  of  the  association,  Hon.  Josiah 
Quincy,  annoonccd  the  flrtt  business  in  order  to 
be  the  receipt  of  cash.  This  ftunonncement 
brought  a  large  number  of  believers  forward, 
who  took  one,  two,  three,  or  more  shares, 
paying  down  $1  per  share.  While  the  subscriptions 
we're  heing  taken  Mr.  Joseph  S.  Ropes,  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  the  association,  made  a  short  ^addres*:,  ex- 
plaining the  object  of  the  corporation,  from  which  it 
was  learned  that  the  association  is  designed  as  a 
mutual  benefit  corporation  to  aid  men  in  securing 
homesteads  by  dei>ositing  a  nominal  sum  ($1  per 
share)  virith  the  association  monthly,  the  aggregate 
sums  of  such  deposits  being  put  up  at  auction  each 
month  and  sold  to  the  highest  bidder  who  is  a  share- 
holder in  the  corporation.  Hon.  Josiah  Quincy  then 
addressed  the  meeting  as  follows : 

(JENTi-EMES  :  We  are  here  this  evening  to  org«nizo 
the  "Pioneer  Co-operarive  Sa^'ing  Fund  and  l.A»an 
Corporation."  We  commence  work  ander  tho  most 
gratifying  aospices.  Our  success  is  secured  from 
the  start.  The  example  of  Philadelphia  shows  con- 
clusively what  can  he  done  through  the  method  of  co- 
0]>erati6n.  While  it  has  given  independent  homes  in 
that  city  to  some  60,000  working  men,  it  has  also 
proved  itself  one  of  tbe  safest  and  most  advantageotis 
of  investments.  XjOt  me  mention  two  far-ts  that 
show'  its  claim  on  the  attention  of  the  peo- 
ple of  Massachusetts,  In  the  citv  of  Phibidel- 
phia  there  have  been  at  least  $70,000,000  invested 
m  these  associations,  while  there  aje  but  af>out  $14.- 
000.000  in  all  their  savings  bankP.  Think  of  the 
significance  of  that  fact  and  then  turn  to  another.  In 
the  City  of  Pliiladelphia  there  are  4,50  associations 
like  the  one  we  haye  jnst  organized,  and  there  has 
not,  as  I  am  credibly  Infonned,  been  an  ultimate 
failure  in  one  of  them.  We  think  that  a  system  that 
affords  such  testimonials  is  worth  understanding  and 
worth  adopting  by  the  citizens  of  Massachusetts. 
By  it  tiie  working  man  becomes  his  own 
capitalist.  He  may  have  the  fulle>t 
use  of  his  own  money.  and  if  be 
wishes  to  accumnlato  for  the  future  he  has  every 
facility  for  doing  so.  But  to  come  to  the  nest  busi- 
ness of  the  evening.  We  have  $1.00<J  to  sell,  iu  the 
language  ft  the  statute.  "  to  such  shareholders  as  de- 
sire'to  anticipate  the  idtimato  value  of  their  shaiies. 
and  who  shall  give  security  for  the  prompt  and  con- 
tinued pajTnent  of  all  periodic  installments  "f  dues, 
interest,  premiums,  and  fines,  until  each  of  the  shares 
so  advanced  upon  shall  be  found  to  be  of  the  ultimate 
value  of  $200."  I  now  invite  yonr  bids  fur  this 
<:uia  or  such  i»«irtion  of  it  as  you  mav  desire.  The 
successful  bidder  will  have  the  priviWire  of  takin;: 
the  whole  amount  or  any  p.irt  of  it.  Bids  must  be 
njade  in  sums  divisible  by  5,  and  wQl  be  so  much  a 
snare  a  month.  Let  mc  illustrate  the  comlUjons. 
that  all  may  underst5vnd  them.  Supp<jse  you  wish 
to  borrow  $1,000  ;  you  must  have  five  shares,  whose 
ultimate  value  wUi  amount  to  that  sum.  You  pay 
$1  a  month  on  each,  share,  and  $5  a  month  as 
interest  «m  the  loan  at  G  percent.;  iu  all.  $10  a 
month.  If  there. is  a  premium  yoa  will  pay  a  per- 
centage I'll  .it  ;  should  you  offer  '2o  cents  a 
share,  your  monthly  payment  will  be  ^11  'iiO. 
which  would  be  equivalent  to  paving  7^ 
per  cent,  per  annum  for  the  loan.  If 
you  bid  50  cents  a  share,  your  monthly  pay- 
ment will  be  $ili  50.  which  is  equivalent  to  pay- 
ing y  per  cent,  per  annum.  But  remember  yonr  pro- 
portion of  all  the  interest  and  premiums  that  are 
paid  by  others,  which  will  materially  reduce  the  in- 
terest you  nominally  pay,  and  cause  the  shares  to  ma- 
ture, or  become  worth  ^-00  in  about  10  years,  which 
is  erjual  to  10  per  cent.-  per  annum  ou  the  amount 
of  cash  invested  for  tbe  average  time  of  its  invest- 
ment. The  successful  bidder  will  at  once  pay 
tlie  first  months  <iues  ou  his  shares  to  the  Secre- 
tary, and  transfer  them  as  collateral  security 
for  the  loan.  He  then  applies  for  tho  loan  on 
a  blank  furnished  by  tlie  corjioration.  which 
will  contain  a  brief  description  of  the  real  es- 
tate he  offers  for  security.  Thts.  if  {satisfactory  lo 
the  Security  Committee  and  to  the  S'>licitor  of  tho 
corporation,  (whoso  fee,  subject  to  revL^ion  by  the 
Directors,  must  be  paid  by  the  applicant.)  will  be 
accepted  ou  a  report  of  the  Directors,  and  the  money 
will  at  once  be  paid.  Before  bidding,  the  bidder 
should  ask  himself  two  questions  :  First — Is  the 
security  1  offer  such  as  the  committee  will  probably 
accept "(  Second — If  by  purchasing  a  ho:ise  I  am 
freed  from  the  payment  of  rents,  can  I  pay  my 
monthly  dnps  andiuteresl  and  the  tax  on  the  es- 
tate? 

At  the  close  of  Mr.  Qulu'^y's  remarks,  he  offered 
the  sum  of  $1,000  at  auction.  There  was  a  few  mo- 
ments' silence,  when  a  gentleman  asked  that"  the' 
tL-mis  be  read  again,  and  Mr.  Quincy  repeated  tho 
substance  of  the  above.  Again  was  tbe  money  of - 
f  ei-od,  and  James  Ferpison.  a  store  porter  by  occupa- 
tion, bid  5  cents  per  shnrc.  and  as  there  was 
no  competition,  he  secured  $500  at  that  rate, 
that '  being  tiie  smn  he  desired.  As  there 
remained  $500.  that  sum  -was  put  up  and  a  bid  made 
at  5  cents,  but  Michael  O'SuUivan  bid  lO  cents. 
and  secured  $100.  This  closed  the  bidding,  and  the 
meeting  adjourned.  It  was  claimed  by  tbe  several 
speakers  that  the  plan  of  the  ass^oeiat ion  was  tbe  best 
means  ever  offered  to  men  in  humble  circumstauee-; 
to  secure  homes,  as  by  becoming  shareholders  in  the 
corporation  they  could  borrow  money  from  tl 
to  S  per  cent,  cheaper  than  they  could 
from  ft  savings  bank,  besides  ha\"ing  the  ben- 
efit of  the  premium  on  the  shares  invested ;  and 
for  a  man  paying  a  high  rent  for  a  residence  it  was 
equally  advantageous,  as  he  could  pay  the  monthly 
dues  o'f  the  association,  his  interest  on  his  loan,  and 
the  tales  on  his  house,  and  then  the  sum  would  not 
be  as  great  as  his  rent,  and  he  would  be  accumulating 
something  during  the  whole  rime.  The  association 
w%s  incorporated  in  May  last,  and  Was  organized 
July  2,  18*7,  is  modeled  after  the  Philadelpliia  asso- 
ciations, and  its  Directors  and  shareholders  are  very 
sanguine  of  success,         

TTTO  EXGLISB  TRAGEDIES. 

A  PAIR  OF  TOVNG  MEN  WHO  DETERMINED 
TO  RID  THEMSELVES  OF  THEIR  MIS- 
TRESSES. 

Froi/i  Vie  Londxtn  Times,  July  27. 

Testerday.  about  midday,  an  attempt  at  mtir 
der  was  discovered  at  No.  27  Cowper-street,  Taber- 
nacle-walk. J  City-road.  A  lodger  there  named  Relf 
heard  cries  of  '*  Murder"  proceeding  from  a  room  on 
the  first  floor,  but  being  unaole  to  ascend  the  stairs, 
she  called  In  a  passing  neighbor,  a  Mrs.  Gladding. 
The  latter  ran  up  stairs  toward  the  room  from  which 
the  screams  were  still  contlntiing,  and  met  a  young 
woman,  known  there  as  Mrs.  Cuthbertson.  stagger- 
ing from  tbe  room.  She  had  a  number  of  wounds 
all  over  the  bead,  and  was  immediatelv  re- 
moved to  St.  Bartholomew's  Hospital.  From 
the  hospital  the  Police  received  .the  first 
information  of  the  nmrderous  attack,  but 
within  a  short  time  the  woman  had  become 
insensible  from  exhatistion  and  could  give  no  in- 
formation. Tbe  •'hasband"of  the  injured  woman 
was  speedily  in  the  hands  of  the  Police.  When  told 
the  cbanre,  he  only  said.  "I  did  it."  He  gave  Ms 
name  as  William  Henry  Cnthbertson,  and  that  of  the 
injured  woman  as  Eliza  Newcombe.  admitting  that 
they  were  not  married,  but  had  lived  together  since 
Christmas  last.  The  weapon  used  bv  him  was  a 
hea^T  chopper.  The  woman's  head  is  a  mass  of 
wounds,  nispector  Maynard,  who  has  charge  of  the 
case,  found  the  chopper  marked  with  blood 
and  ha«r,  and  the  nncarpeted  fioor  of  the 
room  bore  plain  evidences  of  the  d^isperate 
blows  aimed  at  the  woman.  It  wonld  appear  that 
tbe  woman  was  attacked  from  l^hiiid  while 
sitting  on  a  bedstead  nurslug  a  baby,  a  child  she  was 
keeping.  She  must  then  have  fallen  on  the  floor,  and 
while  down  the  first  blow  was  followed  by  se\-eral 
others,  the  flooring  being  dented  by  the  ase  and  por- 
tions of  hair  being  cfiopped  into  the  boards  and 
Severed  from  the  head  as  the  blows  strnck.  The 
prisoner  appears  little  more  than  a  youth,  thouj^  his 
age  is  given  as  23.  By  occupation  he  is  a  barber's 
assistant.  The  injured  woman  is  only  1 9  years  of 
age.  It  is  thought  she  cinnot  recover.  From  inquiry 
made  by  Inspector  Maynard  at  a  late  hour  in  the 
evening^  at  St.  Bartholomew's  Hospital,  it  was  ascer- 
tained that  the  young  woman  had  returned  to  cou- 
ficioufoiess  after  some  nours. 

Tiie  Di-dgelly  magistrates  were  yesterday  engaged 
for  several  hours  in  bearing  a  charge  of  murder  pre- 
ferred against  Cadwallader  Jones,  a  farmer,  living  at 
Park,  near  Dolgellv.  Sarah  Hnghes,  the  murdered 
w«raan,  left  Dolgelly  for  her  home  at  Brithir  about 
9  o'clock  ou  tbe  night  of  the  4th  of  June,  and  was 
never  seen  aliv©  again.  On  the  IGth  iust,  the  dLv 
cover>*  of  a  human  hand  in  the  river  led  to  a  search 
being'made,  and  11  pieces  of  a  human  body  were 
found  in  tbo  river,  na\-ing  evidently  been  thrown 
there  in  the  expectation  that  they  would  be  taken 
out  to  sea  by  the  flood.  Suspicion  fell  npon  the  pris 
oner,  by  whoso  fatlier  the  deceased  was  employed- 
and  on  the  1  -Sth  his  house  was  searched  by  tbe  Police. 
^Vhile  the  search  was  priweeding  tbe  prisoner  told 
Inspector  Jones  it  was  useless  to  take  any  trouble, 
as  ho  was  the  guilty  man— that  he  alone  did  it. 
Being  cautioned,  he  took  the  officers  to  a  cow-hotise, 
where  an  axe,  a  bill-hook,  and  chopplng-block  were 
found  in  a  hole  seven  feet  wide  and  three  feet  deep, 
and  where  portions  ^f  a  woman's  hair  and  two 
buttons  corresponding  with  those  on  the  jacket  worn 
by  the  murdered  woman  were  discovered.  The 
medical  evidence  showed  that  death  resulted  from  a 
very  severe  fracture  on  th©  left  side  of  the  skull, 
caused  by  a  blunt,  heavy  inMroment.  The  prisoner 
is  very  'respectably  connected,  and  was  married 
last  November.  He  and  the  murdered  woman,  who 
was  about  to  give  birth  to  a  third  illegitimate  child, 
were  known  to  be  on  very  intimate  terms,  and  it  it 
stated  tbat  she  threatened  him  with  an  action  for 
breadb  of  promise.

The  position  of  Catliolics  in  some  of  tho 
South  American  States  is  not  an  '  enviable  one 
just  now.  The  Archbishop  of  Quito  has  beea 
murdered,  three  or  four  of  the  Bishops  in  Co- 
lombia have  been  expelled  from  the  country, 
and  a  monk  iu  Buenos  .^yres  has  been  shos 
while  saying  mass.  Most  of  these  troubles  are 
attributed  to  -the  agency  of  the  Freemasons, 
with  whom  there  is  a  very  bitter  quarrel.

the  postponement,  and  hinted  that  the  sicners 
of  the  petition  were  largely  of  the  juvenilo 
class  and  of  the  female  sex.  'He  did  not  thinlc

There  had  only  been  three  prosecutions  under

old  laws.

22,40-1.  The  number  of  niemliers  added  .jn  ex-

Pastor  Deenppet  says  the  development  ol 
the  National  Reformed"  Church  of  Prance  has 
been  much  retarded  by  The  want  of  rtligioua 
liberty.  The  law  does  not  allow  its  members  to 
give  "a  tract  on  the  street  or  to  deliver  publia 
lectures  without  special  permission,  which  ia 
very  iliiBcult  to  obtain.  The  freest  man  in  Paris 
is  a' Scotchman  or  Enjilishman.  Mr.  McCall.  who 
has  addressed  about  20  meetings.  He  believea 
the  day  will  come  when  the  French  nation  will 
become  a  Protestant  nation.  They  are  doin^ 
all  they  can  to  restore  the  Protestant  Chuirches 
in  France.  A  .society  has  been  formed  which  has 
for  its  object  the  reconstruction  of  Protest»ntr 
ism  throughout  that  country. 

The  next  English  Church  Conference  will  be 
held  at  Croydon- Oct  y-]2.  under  the  Presi- 
dency of  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury.  The 
Bishop  of  Guilford  and  Bishops  Percy  and 
Steere,  the  Deans  of  Westminster  and  Durham, 
Canons  Parrar,  Carter.  Garbeu.  and  Gregory. 
Sir  W.  Muir,  Lord  Hatherly,  and  others,  will 
read  papers.  The  list  of  topics  embraces  Mo- 
hamme<&nism.  Christianity  and  Infidelity,  tha 
Mutual  Toleration  of  Different  Schools  o£ 
Thought  in  Uie  Church,  Charity  Organizations 
Inteinperance,  Public  Amusements,  Church 
and  State.  Education,  Church  Finance,  the 
Chnrch  and  Non-conformity,  Bible  Study,  and 
the  Observance  of  the  Sabbath. 

Dr.  HoiSiemaker,  of  Ainsterdam,  says  the 
National  Reformed  Church  of  Holland  is  jusi 
recovering  from  the  lone  sickness  of  Bational- 
ism.  forty  years  a^o  there  were  very  few  who 
preached  the  living  Christ  in  His  Church.  When 
their  secession  friends  left  them,  40  yean  ago, 
taking  with  them  whatever  there  was  of  Uf( 
loft  in  tho  Church,  they  had  only  a  few  student! 
in  the  ministry.  Now  they  have  400  ministen 
preaching  the  Gospel  They  have  taken  prom- 
inent positlona  in  all  the  great  cities,  and  orowdi 
flock  to  hoar  them  jtut  in  proportion  aa  tiiej 
preach  the  living  Christ  Aa  for  the  influence 
of  Batlonaliam  upon  the  clergy,  thev  have  gmtl 
reason  to  bless  It,  There  was  a  dlqxMition  tn

WHO  ''BVCKINGMAM''  PROVES  TO  BE. 
T!CH£     SWINBLEB    RECOGNIZED    AS    OHAITNCET 
JOHNSON,    A   KOTOBIOUS  BANK  BOBBEH — 
HE      ACKNOWLEDGES      HIS      IDENTITY- 
SKETCH  OF  HIS  CAREEB. 
The  swindler,   '*  T.  Buckingham,"  who  was 
arrested  oa  Friday  by  Detectives  Dazm  and  Woolsey, 
far     attempting     to    defirand    the     Bank   of    the 
State    oC    Xew-York   by    drawing   $4,848    against 
'     a  forged     check    for    $5,548  78     which    he    had 
previously    deposited,    was    taken   to  the   Tombs 
Police     Court     from    the     Central    Office    yester- 
day afternoon.    Justice  Smith  held  him  in  $10,000 
to  answer.    At  the  time  the  arrest  was  made  Betec- 
tive  Woolsey  recognized  "Buckingham"  astheno- 

-  tozioas  bank  robber  and  sneak  thief,  Chauncey  John- 
son. He  said  nothing  about  his  discovery,  however, 
until  after  the  prUoner  had  been  committed.  ^Vhen 
he  and  Donn  were  parting  with  "  Backin|;ham  "  at 
the  door  of  the  Tombs  Prison,  Woolsey  said :  '*  Well, 
good-bye,  Chaunce."  ''Buckingham"  turned  quickly 
and  replied:  "Well,  Woolaey,  you  settled  me  once 
biefore.  and  I  guess  you  have  got  me  dead  this  time.' 

.  Cliaunt-ey  Johnson,  alias  "  T.  Buckingham," 
although  a  younc  looking  man,  has  followed  criminal 
pursuits  for  nearly  30  years.  He  first  became 
tnown  to  the  Police  in  1850  or  1S51,  when 
lie  stole  $37,000  from  the  same  hmk  which  he 
attempted  to  defraud  on  Friday.  This  feat  he  ac- 
complished tl^ngh  his  skill  as  a  sneak.  The  man- 
u*-i-  lit  lus  arrest  at  that  time  was  very  peculiar. 
■  Af rt-r  procuring  the  money  from^the  bank  he  went  to 
It  .:trnViiug  place  called  "The  Arbor,"  which  was 
tld-n  "n  Broadway,  near  the  old  Broadway  Theatre. 
*  lie  U  a  reckless  gambler,  and  his  play  on  that  oc- 
^.•^ii-'ii  attracted  the  attention  of  the  other  persons  in 
ti  o  .iloun.  Among  them  wer»  Yankee  Sullivan,  the 
pr.^  list,  nnd  old  Joe  Keefe,  the  detective.  Sullivan 
t'  'ted  Keefe-'s  attention   to   the   fact  that  Johnson 

.  »'-  .led  to  have  none  but  bills  of  the  denomination 
*\  iiiO{*.  Keo^fe  knew  Johnson  by  sight,  and  had 
^ir^v.oualy  suspected  him  of  being  what  dete^-tives 
f.  U  "on  the  cross."  He  determraed  to.  inquire  into 
t'l*.*  c.-iuso  of  J.obnson's  remarkable  display 
of  Wf.ilth,  and  going  over  to  .  Channcey 
he  Mid  in  an  undertone,  "I  want  my  rake,*' which 
impUcd  to  Johnson  that  he  knew  his  money  bad 
Ifeen    procured   dishonestly    and    he    wanted    some 

.  •'Inish  money."  The  gambler  recognized  him.  and 
jx'plied :  '■  All  right,  I'll  eive  you  your  rake."  Keefe 
tuen  in\-ited  him  to  leave  the  pamiue-table.  and  took 
hUn  to  the  station-house  of  the  Fifteentli Precinct,  of 
which  the  present  Inspector  IHlks  was  then  Captain. 
He  there  locked  him  up  on  suspicion  of  havinc  com- 
mitted a  felony.  Johnson  was  recognized  the  next 
^ay  as  a  person  w!io  had  been  seen  in  the  Wall- 
street  Bank  before  it  was  rf>bbed,  and  sufficient  eW- 
dence  wa.s  pro«-nred  to  send  him  to  State  Prison  for 
five  years.  Upon  bein^  released  from  imprison- 
ment ho  became  a  professional  pambler,  but,  appa- 
-^  jently  he  did  not  .succeed  in  the  profession,  for  he  ro- 
prnftrd  the  practice  of  theft. 

His  next  offense  was  a  burplary  in  the  Third  Pre- 
jirtECt.  Officer  John  Hamblin  arrested  him  in  the  net. 
Tind  he  w.ns  convicted  and   Reuteneed  to  State  Prisou. 

•  Tpon  being  released  he  went  to  Philadelphia,  where 
Jie  Ln>rr.iiiitteda  btirglary.  for  which  he  seer\'e*l  a  terra 
in  Movamensing  Prison.  He  robbed  the  safe 
e-t  the  Fifth-Aveuae  Hotel  in  1S71.  For  that  he 
v.-ns  sentenced  to  imprisonment  for  ore  year.  In 
1*^73.  he,  Peter  Lamb,  alias  "Dutch  Pete,"  and Theo- 
r.ore  Wiley,  robbed  a  till  in  Thirteenth-street  and 
T'niveTsity-place.  He  and  Lamb  were  arrested  andsen- 
lenced  to  imprisonment  for  three  veara.  Johnson 
l-^^Tiftimca  associated  ^th  Henry  Neumann,  alias 
"Dutch  Heinirich  ;"  Peter  I>amb,  ailas  "  Dutch 
Pete  ;"  and  The.  Wiley  ;  but  he  usually  preferred  to 
woric  i^oue-  He  is  one  of  the  most  expert  sneak 
Ihlwee  in  the  United  States.  Upon  bis  relea.-*e 
'from  StatePrison  a  year  ago.  he  became  a  How- 
«*ry  "layfigure"  and  a  trequeuterof  the  '■skin"Eame 
of  faro  ill  a  saloon  on  the  Bowery.  His  ventures  at 
.  the  lic  miTiK-ta'nle  appear  never  to  have  restilted  l»ene- 
J'tcially  to  hini.  and  at  times  since  his  la-st  release 
from  prison  he  \vj^  been  in  a  very  seedy  condition  as 
to  rlotSiu^.  The  detectives  do  not  know  that  he  is  a 
married  man.  bnt  yesterday  afternoon  as  thev  were 
lakins  Johnson  alias  Bnckinsham,  out  of  the  Central 
4  >fde».-.  the  prisoner  was  slopped  by  a  stout,  middle- 
aeed  woman  whom  he  did  not  appear  pleased  to  see. 
He  talked  witii  her  petulantly  for  a  few  minutes  and 
then  walked  away.  She  told  the  officers  that  she  was 
*">Irs.  Buekineham."  and  that  she  had  come  from 
youghkeepsie  to  see  her  husband  in  his  trouble.

rlaiined  the  trunks  at  the  Pennsylvania  ltallru.id 
Depot,  Pier  No.  :j;»  North  River,  on  July  'J9.  after 
their  discb  trice  from  custody  ;  that  they  hired  .\lfr»*d 
U.  .Smith,  a  namiaii.  of  Nt>.  '2iH)  Spring  street,  to  de- 
liver two  of  the  trunks  at  No.  433  West  Thirty- 
ninth-streel,  and  that  another  jwrtion  of 
tho  goods  w;is  reratrt'ed  to  the  residence 
of  Bamett.  No.  'S3S  Division-street.  The

jiotire  of  Capt.  Pidey  by  a  man  who  suid  that  Bar- 
nett  h."»d  offt-red  to  j*ell  him  some  of  the  trimiiiinKs. 
The  Captain  immediately  interested  himself  in  work- 
iTig  up  the  c.'Lse.  Hft'  proceeded  to  the  residence  of 
Bamett  and  arrested  him.  In  the  aitting-room  he 
found  a  iMi^-katre  of  trinimtuBrs.  and  on  the  person  of 
the  pri.soner  letters  direct* 'd  to  liim  from  his  niece,  who 
is  Greenbaum's  wife,  directing  him  how  to  disx>oBe

two  other  finrnt  in  Philadelphia  in  a  similar  way,  but 
he  ha.s  not  yet  succeeded  in  recoverinc  the  proceeds 
nf  the  transaction.  He  believes  that  the  accuse<!. 
niiJed  by  their  aa'omplices.  have  successfully  pursued 
tiuir  nefarious  business  for  a  long  time. 

"  TTTEKING  A  FORGED  CBECE. 
Jol^H.  Holtze,  of  No.  125  Cannon-street, 
•nlered  the  Bank  of  the  Metropolis  yeeterday  and 
presented  for  payment  a  check  for  ^^^25,  purporting 
to  have  l>een  drawn  by  Mr.  William  H.  Hurlbert,  the 
editor  of  the  Xeu^-Tork  T^orld,  in  favor  of  M.  A.  Mer- 
TiU  &  Co.  It  bore  what  appeared  to  be  indorsements 
hy  Jlerritt  &  Co.,  M.  A.  Moore,  and  Mr.  Hurlbert. 
3Ir,  E.  C.  Evans,  tho  Paying  Teller  of  the  bank,  not 
liking  the  apjwarance  of  Holtze  refused  to  pay  him 
the' money  called  for  by  the  check  unless  he  was 
identified,  and  he  left  Ihe  banlE.  A  short 
time  Uiter  he  returned  and  asked  Mr.  Evans  to  cer- 
tify the  checlt.  The  latter  then  compared  the  sii^a- 
tttre  of  the  check  with  the  signature  of  Mr.  Hurlbert 
on  tho  bfjoks  of  the  bank,  and  found  that  they  dif- 
fered in  a  slight  deirree.  He  therefore  called  Officer 
Tyler,  of  the  Broadwav  squad,  and  procured  the  ar- 
rant of  Holtze.  trpon  Wing  arraigned  before  Justice 
Wimdell,  in  the  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court, 
Holtze  fiaid  the  chock  was  eiven  him  by  a  person  he 
did  not  kiiow.  With  instructions  to  procure  the  money 
on  it.  Mr.  Hurlbert  declared  the  check  aforper>', 
but  was  astoni.shed  that  hia  staiature  could  have 
been  bo  cl'^sely  imitated.  He  said  he  had  never  seen 
Holtze  before.  The  prisoner  was  held  in  $2,000 
liriil  for  trial  In  the  Court  of  General  Sessions.  It  is 
suspected  that  the  foritery  was  comniitted  by  some 
pers<m  having  a  knowledge  of  Mr.  Hniiberta  busi- 
ness, who  gave  the  check  to  Holtze  to  have  it  cashed.

THE  RIVAL  TELEGRAPH  COMPAStES. 

While  the  reports  are  denir-d  that  tl  ere  is 
a  movement  on  foot  to  con.<!olidate  the  \ 'astern 
Union  and  the  Atlanti'*  .and  Pacific  Telegrnp  i  Com- 
panies, the  officers  of  the  laiter  company  ye  iterday 
admitted  that  the  object  of  tho  meeting  of  t!  le  com- 
mittes  appointCMl  by  pnch  incorporation  was  '  o  ajfree 
upon  a  scht'difle  by  ■whirhi  luith  rtimpanics  run  Id  make 
money.  President  ( frion  I  P.-iid  to  a  rc-porter  1  h.it  the 
two  companivfi  had  for  u  yi-nr  or  a  year  and  a  half 
Iwen  rivals  to  un  extent  aitnonntin^;  almost  to  hos- 
tility. Each  has  spent  money  to  injure  the  other. 
He  did  not  think  it  mattertfl  to 
the  public  wUi'-h  party  wiis  to  bjamq.  The 
Western  Fnini!,  al!  knew,  had  ['  never 
taken  the  initiative,  jn  rt-ducing  the  pfices.  so 
it  was  his  own  opinion  thiit  the  conrpany  wntji  which 
he  is  oonntrted  w.as  not  tJ>  blame.  He  wouhfisay  for 
himself  that  the  movement  wasnotaspeculaiveoue, 
andjic-did  not  beli^-ve  th|at  anv  of  the  committee — 
i-orapo«ed  of  W.  H.  W-uiderllilt,  E.  D.  Morian,  and 
Anxcnstus  Schell — would  detfend  to  such  a  thlnp.  He 
said  he  bad  heiird  of  no  Is'-tieme  to  actnal!>-Tcon soli- 
date  the  twt>  eompjinios.  i  He  admitted  that  uiider  the 
redaction  the  company  wns  not  making  ^  much 
money  as  formerly.  a!tlion:;h  business  h.nd  crfeatly  in- 
creased in  volume.  It  wiu:  increased  evary  year 
under  any  circumstances.  It  niiuht  be  cWpaper  to

THE  SILK  WEAVERS-  STRTEl 
There  wa-s  very  little  chanire  ye.sterday|  in  the 
situation  at  Messrs.  J.  N,  Steams  &  Co.'s  sil^  manu- 
factory. The  irirl-*  who  are  on  strike  stUl  reiiain  out, 
and  until  the  weavers  return  all  the  other  hands  are 
obliged  to  remain  idle.  Ei^ht  or  ten  of  the!  strikers 
called  at  the  office  yesterday,  in  Forty-.secoi|d-street, 
near  Third-avenue,  and  received  their  pay  ^or  work 
done  previousto  the  strike-  Theysay  theyhayehadno 
meetin];>:s.  and  have  come  to  ni>  definite  imdeistanding 
as  to  what  their  future  course  may  be.  Onq  of  them 
said  she  believed  ^Ir.  Steams  regretted  aslmuch  as 
any  one  the  necessity  for  the  reduction  in  taieir  pay, 
anil  the  girls  disliked  to  give  up  their  worttT  "But 
what  else  r-ould  we  do  f '"  she  askod,  **  our  wages  were 
already  very  low.  and  on  Tuesday,  when  wej  saw  the 
notice  on  the  door  making  still  another  redtirtion.  we 
did  not  have  tho  courai;*^  to  continue  at  wori."  Some 
of  the  girls  were  paid  more  than  others,  ana  a  great 
many  of  them  wonld  have  to  labor  vwy  harq  to  make 
more  than  ^5  a  week.  I  This,  they^sjdd,  lyotild  do 
little  more  than  pay  their  board.  Thougfafmany  of 
them  live  with  their  parents,  the  larger  pfoportion 
are  entirely  dependent  on  their  wages,  and  many 
have  to  contribute  to  the  support  of  indigei^  or  help- 
Jess  relatives.  The  girls  live  in  different  ai  d  distant 
parts  of  the  city,  and  when  they  separated  on  Wed- 
nesday last  it  was  agreed  that  those  mo  it  remote 
from  the  factory  should  be  kept  informed  a  ^  to  what 
was  being  done.  Some  think  they  may  i  »tum  on 
Monday,  but  it  is  bolipived  that  the  large:  nimiber 
will  not  accept  the  redni?ed  wages. 

TEE  CANADIAN  PILGRIMS,

will  arrive  at  the  Grand  Central  Depot  on  the  early 
train  this  morning.  This  party  will  be  joiied  by  a 
committee  of  about  thei  same  ntimber,  composed  of 
leading  clergymen  and  laj-men  of  this  (Jity.  The

DEtlSION  BY  JUSTICE  SMITH. 

THE  **  BEER"  QUESTIOK  DECIDED  IN  PAVOK 
OF  TEE  LIQUOa-DEAI«EBS — THE  POLICE 
TO  ACT  WITH  MORE  DIBCBETIOM  IN  THE 
FtJTUBE — WHO  IS  ENTITLED  TO  A  HOTEL 
UCEl^SE  NOT  TET  SETTLED— LIQUOE- 
DEAXEBS    m    COURT. 

The  long-eipect«d  decision  of  Justice  Smith 
in  the  case  of  William  H.  Mtmday  ^lalnst  George  W. 
Morton^  t)wen  Mnrphy,  and  Jacob  W.  Patterson, 
Excise  Comojissloners,  which  has  been  anx- 
iously awaited  by  the  liquor-dealers,  was 
rendered  yesterday  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court. 
Contrary '  to  general  expectation  the  de- 
cision was  not  an  elaborate  one.  It  merely 
stated,  "  Complaint  dismissed  ;  prisoners  discharged." 
The  complaint  was  that  on  the  Ist  day  of  Septem- 
ber, 1876,  Koster  &  Bial,  proprietors  of  a  saloon  in 
the  basement  of  the  Tribune  Building,  were  granted 
a  license!  by  the  Commissioners  to  sell  on  the  prem* 
laes  ale  and  Deer  in  quantities  lees  than 
five  galllins,  to  be  drank  on  the  premises, 
which  the  complainant  states  to  be  in  direct  viola* 
tion  of  the  laws  of  1857  relating  to  the  sale  of  beer. 
The  deciuon  is  a  signal  triumph  for  the  Hqnor-deal- 
ers.  In  dismissing  the  complaint  against  the  Excise 
Commissioners,  Justice  Smith  recognizes  the  legality 
of  the  granting  of  licenses  for  the  sale  of  ale  and  beer, 
Independent  of  the  hotel  provision  of  the  law  of  1857. 
The  disposition  of  the  test  case  agtanst  the  board, 
taken  in  connection  with  the  instructions  of  Superin- 
tendent Walling  to  the  Police  Captains  and  Sergeants 
on  Friday,  virtually  decides  some  of  the  most  im- 
portant issues  of  the  contest  in  favor  of  the  liquor- 
dealers.  The  Board  of  Excise  need  no  longer  hesitate 
over  the  consideration  of  the  many  applicadons  for 
ale  and  |  beer  licenses  ireceived  during  the  past 
two  mcjnths.  A  spirit  of  moderation,  to 
which  the  more  radical  of  the  temperance 
crusaders  will  doubtless  take  umbrage,  will  hereafter 
charactetjize  the  procedure  of  the  Police  in  the  matter 
of  arrests.  The  commanders  of  precincts  have  been 
specifically  ordered  not  to  make  arrests  of  respectable 
dealers  after  court  hours,  and  the  "  receipts  "  will  be 
respected  to  an  extent  wnich  the  holders  r^ard  as 
reasonable.  There  will  be  no  relenting,  however,  to- 
ward those  who  have  never  manifested  a  tendency  to 
comply  with  the  law. 

In   dealing  with   this  class    accordlog  to   tho  re- 

auirements  of  the  statutes  so  far  as  relates  to  the 
uties  of  the  force,  and  in  closing  the  nnmerotis 
■■  concert  ealopns  "  and  other  places  of  ill-repute 
where  liquors  are  sold,  notwithstanding  the  refusal 
of  the  Excise  Board  to  license  them,  the  Captains 
will  Ktill|flnd  eiiough  to  do  for  the  members-of  their 
respective  command't.  The  unlawful  existence  of 
such  places  is  in  itself  a  sure  indication  ,that  the 
Police  have  neglected  their  duty.  The  members  of 
the  Excise  Board  positively  assert  that  they  have  tin- 
besitatinglv  denied  licenses  to  pbices  the  character 
of  whoste  Wsiness  had  been  questioned.  And  yet, 
the  immber  of  snrh  resorts  have  not  perceptibly  di- 
minished, except  perhaps  in  the  immediate  neif^hbor 
hood  of  the  Police  Central  Office.  Even  that  district 
has  not  been  thoroughly  cleansed.  Within  a  stone's 
throw  of  Head.quarters  exist  dens,  in  which  preco- 
cious yotmg  thieves  gather  nightly  with  abandoned 
female  Cjompanions. 

Business  at  the  oflRces  of  the  Excise  Department 
yesterday  was  rather  dull  as  compared  with  the 
transactions  of  tho  early  part  of  the  week.  Seventy- 
two  applications  and  $3,170  in  fees  were  received 
iluring  the  d«v.  A  grand  total  of  1.620  applications 
and  $S0.809  7.5  were  the  receipts  during  the 
entire  weeik.  ^  No  licenses  were  granted  yes- 
terday, o.wing  to  the  fiict  that  the  Com- 
missioners were  busily  engaged  in  arranging 
the  papers  of  applicants  whose  clums  for  licenses  will 
be  investigated  and  passed  upon  at  a  session  of  the 
board  to-morrow.  A  large  number  of  dealers  who 
have  paid  their  fees  have,  however,  failed  to  file  the 
necessary  bonds.  Until  this  is  attended  to  their  ap- 
plications cannot  be  considered.  Thus  far.  onlv  fiOO 
t>nt  of  3.3.'>^t  applicants  have  complied  with  th{s  reg- 
ulation.j  Puring  the  six  days  ending  yesterday 
morning.  !lhe  arrests  for  violation  of  the  law  were: 
Sundav,  103;  Monday,  83;  Tuesday,  24S;  Wednes- 
dav,  ibp  |;  Thursday,  ><5.    and  Friday.  58. 

Tlie  question  os  to  what  class  of  liquor-dealers  is 
entitle^^  to  hotel  licenses  authorizing  the  sale  of  wines 
and  lifitiors  is  now  the  chief  subject  of  controversy. 
The  roajjority  of  the  ordinary  dealers  confidently  be- 
lieve that  by  furnishing  their  premises  with  three 
beds  thej*  are  compl>-ing  with  the  requirements  of 
the  law.  The  Exciite  Cummissioners  are  not,  they 
Ray,  disposed  to  \-iew  the  matter  in  that  light.  They 
do  not  t^m  to  think  that  a  hquor  saloon  furnished 
with  three  beds  constitutes  a  hotel,  where  all  the 
wants  of  those  seeking  hotel  accommo<lalton  can  be 
supplied. !  If  they  l&dhere  to  this  opinion,  and  discrim- 
inate accordingly  in  the  granting  of  licenses,  "f&e 

great  Kjccise  muddle  will  be  as  far  from  settlement

A  GANG  OF  SNEAK  THIEVES  ARRESTED. 
For  several  weeks  a  party  of  thieves  have 
been  reaping  a  rich  harvest  by  robbing  the  residences 
of  physicians  and  other  professional  men.  It  has 
been  their  practfce  to  watch  a  house  until  its 
owner;  had  gone  away,  and  then  to  obtain  an 
entrance  upcpn  some  pretext,  and  afterward  to  di- 
vert the  attention  of  the  servants  long  enough 
to  enable  .  them  to  steal  some  valuable  and 
depart  with  It.  Numerous  complaints  have  been 
made  to  Superintendent  Walling,  and  to  Sergt. 
Kealyj  of  the  Detective  Squad,  but  nothing  could  be 
done  by  the  officers  for  the  reason  that  no  adequate 
descriptions  of  the  thieves  cotdd  be  procured.  Yester- 
dajr  afternoon,  however,  Sergt.  Kealy  was  given  de- 
scriptions of  two  of  the  operators,  and  he  Inatructed 
DeU^ctives  Bilks  and  Handy  to  look  for  the  fellows. 
Shortly  after  6  o'clock  they  found  the 
men  they  sought,  ut  the  comer  of  Broadway  and 
Bleecker-street.  They  arrested  and  took  them  to 
the  Central  Office,  where  they  gave  their  names  as 
Charles  Hampton  and  George  De  Cam.  Hampton  Is 
known  to  have  the  <uias  of  Harding,  and 
De  Cam  that  of  Anderson.  Upon  the 
persons  of  the  prisoners  were  fotmd  67

I  THE  RECENT  HURRICANE. 
The  fierce  wind  which  visited  Coney  Island 
on  Friday  evening  did  more  damage,  it  seems,  than 
was  at  first  rleported.  The  immense  cai>shed  of  the 
New-Tork  tind  Sea  Beach  Railroad  was  ttimed  up- 
side down,  and  an  empty  stage-coach  was  npset  and 
carried  15  prf  20  feet.  At  Norton's  Pavilion  about 
houses,  valued  at  $1,500,  were  torn 
es,  many  of  them  being  carried  out  to 
Half-Way  House  and  Point  Comfort 
lathing-houscs  were  destroyed,  and  at 
other  place^  pn  the  beach  122  are  reported  as  having 

been  swept  jsway.  Seventy-five  houses,  near  the 
Bath  ana '  Coney  liland  Railroad  Depot,  were 
blown  from  jposition,  but  not  material' v  damaged. 
Cable's  JIoUlI  lost  $200  worth  of  glasi^ware  which 
was  blown  ifrom  the  tables.  Feltman's  Pavilion  was 
damaged  to  the  extent  of  $1,000  by  having  pieces  of 
the  roof  topi  off.  At  Bath  windows  were  shattered, 
and  tree^  uprooted,  and  at  Locust  Grove  small  exaf, 
at  anchor  in  ihe  bay  were  driven  aground  and  much 
damoged.  t^he  storm  made  things  very  lively  at 
Rockaway  Bleach  for  a  short  rime.  It  was  accom- 
panied by  a  heavy  wind-squall,  which  lifted  clouds  of 
'  sand  high  into;  the  air,  whence  tt  defended  In

huT  TO  PIECES  BT  A  LOCOMOTIVE. 
The  Henderson-street  crossing  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania i  Railroad,  in  Jersey  City,  was  last  night  the 
scene  of' a  horrible  accident.  As  one  of  the  track- 
men was  passing  up  the  road  about  10:30  he  sttmi- 
bled  over  something  in  the  dark,  and  was  horrified, 
on  throwing  tho  rays  of  his  lantern  on  the  object,  to 
find  It  was  the  headless  body  of  a  woman,  who  had 
evidently  been  killed  by  the  Philadelphia  express, 
which  arrived  at  10:10.  He  at  once  gave  the  caarm, 
and  the  woman's  head  was  found  near  by,  the  eyes 
and  mouth  open,  ana  presenting  a  ghastly  sight.  It" 
is  8upj>osed  that  in  crossing  the  track  in  front  of  the 
inroniing  train  she  was  struck  by  the  locomotive, 
which  must  have  dragged  the  body  to  where  it  was 
fomid,  a  distance  of  30  feet,  and  serering  the  head 
in  its  passage.  The  victim  was  evidently  an  old 
woman,  but  there  was  nothing  about  her  clothing  by 
which  she  eotdd  be  identified.  Coroner  Oaimon  took 
charge  of  the  remains,  and  will  institute  a  thorough 
examination.

BOOZLED  A  POLICKMAN  IN  NEW-YOBK. 
While  patrolling  Ms  post  about  2  o'clock  on 
Friday  morning,  Officer  Kush,  of  the  Seventh  Pre- 
cbict,  foond  a  UtUe  girl  wandering  in  an  aimless  hut 
independent  fashion.  He  questioned  her,  and  she 
said  her  name  |was  Mary  Fagan  and  she  was  7  years 
old.  As  she  did  not  know  where  she  was, 
the  offl(*er  j  tool:  her  to  tho  station-house. 
There  she  j  said  that  her  parents  lived  In 
Newark,  hut  the  street  she  could  not  remember.  On 
Thoisday  afternoon,  she  said,  her  mother  took  her  to 
Coney  Island,  I  where,  in  the  crowd,  the  two  became 
separated.    S^e  endeavored  to  get  back  to  Newark, 

but,  by  mistake,  took  the  boat  for  New- York.  She 
said  she  had  aoi  aunt  living  here,  and,  she  believed,  in 
the  lower  part  of  the  City.  The  Police  looked  all 
through  the  lower  precincts  for  a  woman  bearing  the 
name  that  Mary  gave  as  her  aunt's.  They  were  UMUC- 
cessfulintheijr  search,  so  Marywassent  to  thecdreof 
Matron  Webb,  In  Police  Head-quarters.  On  Bnday 
afternoon  Mrs.  Webb  went  out  upon  some  business, 
leaving  herwpartments  in  the  care  of  her  daughter. 
Ehiring  her  absence  Mary  Fagan  induced  Miss  Webb 
to  go  and  look  for  a  book  for  her  to  read.  When 
she     left     the     room    the     precocious    little    ^1 

?ut  oiT  her  own  hat  and  shawl  and  ran  down  stairs, 
'he  policeman  at  the  door  stopped  her.  and  she  said 
that  Mrs.  Webb  had  sent  her  on  an  errand.  WhDe 
the  officer  was  debating  whether  or  not  to  let  her  go 
out,  she  exclaimed :  "  Oh  !  I  forgot  to  ask  Mrs. 
Webb  something !"  Then  she  turned  and  ran  up 
stairs.  Aftqr  a  short  delay  she  returned, 
and  the  omcer,  believing  all  was  .right,  let 
her  go  inio  the  street.  A  few  -minutes 
later  MiasI  Webb  announced  that  little 
Mary  Fagan  ^ras  a  runaway.  Yesterday  afternoon 
Mr.  Lunbusson,  of  Lord  &  Tavlor's,  on  Grand-street, 
called  upon  Superintendent  Walling  and  informed 
him  that  while  his  little  daughter  was  playing  on  the 
beach  at,  Coney  Island  on  Thursday  afternoon,  she 
was  attacked  by  a  girl,  who  beot  her  and  stole  her  hat, 
shawl,  and  gold  orooch.  While  he  was  talking 
to  the  St  perintendent  an  officer  of  the 
Fourth  Precinct  arrived  at  Police  Head- 
quarters witi  the  astute  little  Mary  Fagan,  whom  he 
had  found  windering  on  his  post.  As  soon  as  Mr. 
Lunbusson  saw  her  he  recoKuized  the  hat.  shawl,  and 
brooch  she  wore  as  the  articles  that  hod  been  stolen 
from  his  daughter  on  Thursday.  Mary  made  no  de- 
fense ;  ahe  ^^y  cried  and  refused  to  speak.  She 
was  locked  up,  and  now.  clever  little  girl  as  she  Is, 
she  wUl  be  airaigned  to-day  on  a  charge  of  highway 
robbery.  At  present  the  Police  would  like  to  know

were  divorced  about  two  years  ago.  the  woman  ob- 
taining the  divorce  on  the  ground  of  her  husband's 
adultery,  and  the  court  deoreeinr  that  Moore  should

wise yesterday  on  the  grotind  that  the  second  mar-

THE  DIME  SAVINGS  BANE. 
For  some  days  past  it  has  be^i  rumored  that 
depoMts  were  being  witKdrawn  fronalhe  Union  Dime 
Savings  Bank.  The  officers  of  the  bank  admit  that 
large  amounts  of  money  have  been  withdrawn,  but 
attribute  it  to  the  5  per  cent,  law,  and  &fty  that  de- 
positors close  their  accotints  either  to  pev  up  their 
mortgaces  or  to  lend  their  money  at  7  per  cent. 
They  declare  also  that  banks  are  glad  to  get  rid  of 
money  which  they  cannot  use.  and  say  that  the  bank 
is  as  sotfnd  as  ever.  In  regard  to 'the  expensive 
building  which  has  been  erected  they  say  it  is  the 
rhenpest  that  has  been  built  in  20  year*,  and  that  it 
realizes  a  net  income  of  $24,000  per  annum

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aiig.  12.— The  c^- 
vention  of  working  men  which  nominate(  a 
State  ticket  yesterday  was  not  composed 
delegates  representing  constituents  through  >ut 
the  State,  but  only  a  few  sections  of  organ  za- 
tion  representatives  were  present.  The  wh  ole 
number  of  delegates  was  about  100,  the  maj'  iri- 
ty  of  whom  were  froni  this  city.  The  convfen. 
tion  was  well-behaved,  calm,  and  earnest  in  fits 
manner,  and  was  troubled  with  only  one  dan- 
gerously wild  speaker.  H|s  theories  were  not 
approved  by  the  majority,  and  counter-theomes 
were  at  once  promulgated  its  an  antidote.  'Bhe 
temper  of  the  convention  was  decidedly  pp- 
posed  to  lawlessness  and  in  favor  of  seek- 
ing redress  for  evils  affecting  workinar  ineu 
by  what  they  deem  wise  leglslatlen. 
Peter  H.  Clark,  Chairman  of  the  Committeeton 
Resolutions,  is  a  leading  colored  Republicaniin 
this  part  of  the  State.  He  made  himself  proiii- 
nent  on  the  side  of  the  working  men  in  Jlio 
time  of  the  railroad  strike,  declaring  himsemin 
favor  of  \fie  Government  taking  posses.siod  of 
the  railroads  and  telegraphs.  He  reiteraies 
this  idea  in  the  platform,  ■with  other  stmBar 
ones.  A  singular  point  in  the  platformlis 
the  demand  for  the  repeal  of  all  laws 
against  conspiracy.  Clark  has  now  flAn- 
ly  planted  himself  with  this  movement, 
accepting  a  place  on  i  the  ticket.  He 
has  acknowledged  ability,  but  the  extent  of  his 
influence  with  his  race  is  nht  great  When  the 
day  of  the  election  comes  [the  general  impBe-s- 
sion  here  is  that  the  .working  men's  movement 
will  draw  about  equally  {rom  both  the  Deiiio- 
crats  and  Republicans,  but  ]it  is  also  thought  he 
vote  will  be  larger  than  last  Spring.  A  picnic

pages  of  foolscap  which  he  had  prepared,  a|id 
the  general  impression  made  was  c^ie

seizing  upon  an  unfounded  rumor  without  tak- 
ing any  pains  to  ascertain  its  truth.  The  pu^i-

the  loss  of  four  lives.  The  ,  sad  occurrence  v  as

the  little  vessel  sank  so  soon  after  capsizing  that

Railroad,  ■was  thrown  into  an  unusual  commo- 
tion yesterday  by  a  liold  and  successful  robbery 
perpetrated  in  broad  daylight.  A  daughter  [of 
Mr.  Joseph  Foose,  while  engaged  in  kneading 
dough,  her  parents  being  at>sent,  was  ap- 
proached by  a  man  whose  face  "was  cojni- 
pletely  disguised  with  a  handkerchief. 
He  playfully  extended  his  himds  to  her, 
which  she  innocently  took,  hyieving  that 
he  was  a  friend  and  would  Instantly  reveal  him- 
self. He  grasped  her  firmly,  when  an  accom- 
plice appeared,  pinioned  her  hands  behind  ner 
back,  and  tied  her  feet.  One  of  the  thieves 
then  placed  a  revolver  at  her  temple,  and 
threatened  to  shoot  if  she  made  any  outcty. 
The  other  thief  ransacked  the  house,  and  suc- 
ceeded in  securing  money, pewelry,  and  a  lotjot 
clothing.  They  escaped  with  their  booty  and 
have  not  yet  been  arrested,  |  \

The  Time.'f  occaoional  correspondentat  Vienna 
speaks  very  nositively  relative  to  Servia's  non- 
intervention in  the  immediate  future.  In  this 
connec'ion  he  says  Russia  knows  Austria's 
conditions,  and  h'as  promised  to  conform  to 
them.  She  knows  that  Austria  -wishes  to  pro- 
tect the  liberty  of  Constantinople  and  the  Dan- ' 
ube,  and  t^U  never  consent  to  tne  establishment 
of  Russian  influence  on  the  right  bank  of  that 
river,  or  permit  the  formation  of  a  great  Slav 
state  on  ner  southern  frontier.  The  <^act  that 
Russia  wants  to  respect  these  conditions 
is  a  guarantee  of  peace  between  Russia  and 
Austria,  and  h»  an  assurance  that  the  settlement 
of  Eastern  affairs  will  be  conformable  with 
Austrian  interest'. 

Nevertheless,  the  Tinted  correspondent  at 
Belgrade  represents  Servian  preparations  for 
mobilization  as  in  a  very  forward  state.  It  is 
reported  that  the  Servian  Ministry  have  re- 
signed, and  that  M.  Bistics  will  form  a  new 
Cabinet

The  disinclinatioii  of  the  military  authori-

reception.  The  old  Marshal  becomes  every  day 
more  omsty — as  for  a  newspaper  correspondent

absurd.  Disappointment  is  the  prime  mover  of

Shumla  from  Sasgrad.  One  woman,  aged  70, 
was  riddled  with  balls ;  four  were  in  her  body. 
The  otbers  wore  wounded  by  lance  thrusts,  the 
children  badly  so,  and  all  the  wounds  were  be- 
hind, fully  proving  they  had  been  flying  from 
the  brutal  Cossacks.  At  the  time  I  write,  the

seven  hours'  distance.  Mr.  Belotterwirtz,  a 
man  I  know  well,  is  appointed  Civil  and  ^lilitary 
Governor  pro  temi  at  Ktistendje,  a  municipality: 
has  been  f  onned,  Poliee<  petrol  the  streets,  and 
affairs  go  on  as  though  ^thing  had  happened. 
At  a  very  eaijly  Bate  I  told  you  what  I  saw  at 
Bucharest,  and  every  word  I  said  on  the  subject 
has  been  litetsdly  Iveriil^  Her  T^jesty's  gun- 
boat steamedl  intd  tUp  harbor  last  night,  bring- 
ing, among  jothers,  ihe  English  and  French 
Consuls  at  Ktistendje  and  the  railway  manager. 
Their  places  are  vacant,  as  their  credentials  are 
to  the  Turkish  Go'vemment  a  Government  ex- 
isting no  longer  at  that  place,  so  the  Consuls 
get  papers  in  order, 
of  Eustendje  was  a  very 
tame  affair.  The  a)ithoritie.s,  civil  and  military, 
had  evacuateo  ttie  place  some  days  before  and 
reported  themselves  at  Varna,  where  they  ar- 
rived by  steamer.  |  The  town  in  the  meantime 
■was  kept  in  sodie  bind  of  order  bf  the  sailors  of 
the  British  giin-boat  Some  one,  I  beliex'e  the 
Director  of  the  railway,  sugge.*^ted  to  a  few  of 
the  notables  <^[\  the  place  the  idea  to  go  to  Med- 
jidje.  20  miles  away,  and  invite  the  Russians 
to  come  in,  H'ne  suggestion  was'  accepted,  and 
away  steamed  an  engine  for  the  Rus.sian  camp. 
The  reception  was  very  cordial,  or.  I  prefer 
to  say  courtepus,  and  about  200  men  were 
sent  in.  The  railway  Director  jiskt-d  if 
the  oommandant  would  require  the  line,  and 
received  a  polite  answer  to  the  eit'ect  that  thev 
would  not  use'  it  at  all,  .and  left  at  once  en 
route  for  England.  The  English  Con.siU  left 
simply  because!  the  Russians  informed  him  that 
henceforth  noi  vessel  would  be  permitted  to 
entefcfli  leave  ^he  port,  and  therefore  his  rescbi 
lution  to  quit  was  wise  and  dignified.  Before 
therRapid  left  Count  Orloff  and  Gen.  Zimmer- 
mann,  of  the  [Russian  forces,  dined  on  hoard. 
The  British  officers  returned  the  visit,  and  that 
is  all  I  have  to  pay  about  the  change  of  Govern- 
ment Kusten^je  is  between  seven  and  eight 
hours  away  t'ljom  here  by  sea.  The  Rapid  does 
it  in  six  hours  and  a  half.  The  distance  by 
road  is  IS  hoi{n|s.  At  Kustendje  the  Kus.iians 
are.  At  Ba',:a{rajik,  eight  hours  from  here,  the 
Russians  are  also.  The  Egyptians  .ire  out  after 
them,  and  siiice  their  departure  we  have  no 
news.  I  understand,  from  people  who  ■visited 
the  Russian  camp  the  other  day.  that  tbe  Rus- 
sians are  veryj  uneasy  at  the  continued  in.iction 
of  the  Turks.  J  'They  do  not  know  what  it  means, 
and  fancy  thire  is  something  hanging  over 
their  heads.  W  to-night  or  to-morrow  morning 
we  should  sebjalny  signs  of  Egyptians  returning. 
we  mu.st  conclujde  ithere  has  bocn  a  bru&h,  and 
the  Russians  1 1  ave  had  the  best  ot  it.  and  in 
that  case  I  see  un  awful  panic,  a^  Vama  is  full. 
and  perhaps  we  shall  have  laasiiacres,  as  it  is  u. 
most  fanatical  ;)lace,  not^withstanfiiTi^  its  l>f:ng 
a  seaport  Tilt  European  residents— man  wh-j 
have  never  seen  Europe — are  even  more  fanati- 
cal than  the  M  liisulmans.  As  they  wtra  in 
1853.  so  they  low  are — vepetated. 'until  they 
have  become  as  tbe  place  itself — dull  and  drear\- 
and  mi.seratilH.  At  many  times  during  past 
years  the  projeit  of  a  port  has  been  mooted,  the 
money  found,  ind  everything  in  perfect  order, 
but  always  at  t]ie  la:^t  moment  the  Varna  peo- 
ple have  managed  to  stifle  tbe  a:fair.  and  their 
only  reason  ^s  that  they,  beinc  possessors  of 
magazines  in  which  to  store  grain  arriving  fr(-m 
the  interior,  W(uld  lose  by  the  affair,  as  the 
grain  would  thm  be  shipped  at  once,  and  the 
rental  of  the  migazines  would  be  seen  no  more. 
Thev  dannot  ui  derstand  that  the  reverse  would 
be  the  cane  ;  nc  idea  have  they  except  to  grub 
on  in  their  owm  miserable  way*.  Apropos  of  this 
petty  exclusive:  less.  As.sim  Pa^iha,  now  5Iinist*;r 
of  Justice,  but  If ormerlj" Governor-Genera  here, 
told  me  a  preiitV  little  story  of  the  way  in  v  h'.'h 
he  treated  a  similar  matter  when  Goven  r  if 
Smyrna.  There  was  a  project  of  construcLing 
a  quay  wall  there,  but  it  was  very  stron:?ly  op 
posed,  the  foremost  of  the  obstructors  bemg  al- 
ways the  Caiquiedjes  of  the  place.  Governor 
after  Governor  endeavored  to  launch  the  pro- 
ject, but  all  i™;e  obliged  to  (|uail  before  the 
persistent  orifosition  of  toe  CaSqnedjes. 
At  last  loime  As.sim  Pasha.  and 
he  ordered  i  the  works  to  commence. 
Kg  sooner  wab  Ihis  known  in  to^wn  than  the  cor- 
poration boathien  &uinmoned  all  their  men  u.id 
went  in  a  bodjijto  the  Kon.ik  or  Government- 
house.  You  are  all  aware  that  here  ii«sa«^sina- 
tion  is  one  of  the  most  formidable  arguments 
used  by  men  petitionincr  for  the  maintenancn  of 
their  rights,  and  thnt  even  Governors  in  Turkey 
are  not  proof  against  threats  of  personal  vie 
lence.  but  A.'wira  held  firm  ;  he  asked  ihe  chief 
ot  the  corporation  what  his  reasons  were,  and 
on  being  told  the  men  had  embarked  their  little 
capital  in  their  boats  and  were  afraid  they  would 
lose  the  only  means  they  had  of  living,  he  put 
another  question  to  them.  "Are  you  nfniid  of 
work!''  As  ouo  man  they  replied.  •*Xo.''  The 
Pasha  gave  thein  a  conces-^  n  or  monopoly  to  act 
as  porters  after  the  comp.i  lOn  of  the  quay  wall. 
The  thing  answered  well  beyond  all  expt-rta- 
tion  ;  the  Wall  was  made,  shipping  increased, 
and  during  the  first  year  the  boatmen  gained 
more  than  m  any  three  previous  ye.irs.  More 
Turks  of  this  stamp,  and  Turkey  would  scKin  be 
well  on  her  way  to  greAtucss.  .\n  otBcial  told 
me  to-day  that  ^he  number  of  refugees  passed 
throngh  Vama  Since  the  beginning  of  the  panic 
amounts  to  60,000  heads  of  families  ;  add  to 
this  number  a  fair  proportion  of  women 
and  children.  '  and  you  w-ill  have  say  a 
minimum  of  150,000  homeless  wanderers. 
ViTho  is  responsible  lor  this  and  for  the  route 
they  are  all  taking  1  We  will  go  into  that  ques- 
tion presently.  Where  ignorance  is  bliss,  'tis 
folly  to  be  wise,  is  a  saying  holding  good  in  the 
present  case.  A  whole  country  emptying  itself 
and  fleeing  from  the  Russians  o'n  the  Dobrudscha 
to  meet  them  at  Adrianople.  At  this  latter 
place  they  imagine  themselves  in  safety,  and  no 
one  warns  them  of  the  true  state  of  the  case. 
I  have  asked  the  Tartar  and  the. Georgian  why 
he  flies  in  the  face  of  the  Emperor  Alexander's 
proclamation,  and  my  answer  has  invariably 
been  that  although  the  Russians  at  first  are  fair 
and  generous,  they  in  a  very  few  days  find 
means  of  inciting  the  Bulgarians  against  them, 
and  death  and  desolation  follow.  The  high 
hand  of  the  law,  so  powerful  with  us,  is  para- 
lyzed here.  The  men  supposed  to  look  after 
and  guide  the  affairs  of  the  province  are  off 
their  heads  ;  hence  you  see  the  wanderers  wan- 
dering to  what  they  consider  an  asylum,  and  the 
authorities  allowing  them  to  go,  though  know- 
ing well  that  skfety  is  not  to  be  found  there.- 
The  Governor  of  a  town  does  this  merely  not  to 
have  1,50,000  sools  on  his  hands,  liecause 
he  haa  not  wherewith  to  feed  them. 
They  will  ^move  on  and  on  nntil  starva- 
tion cuts  them  down.  I  will  put  it  plainly 
to  you.  We  are  on  tbe  verge  of  Winter,  an^ 
these  people  ■will  be  without  home,  shelter,  food, 
fire,  and  money.  They  will  die  like  flies.  At 
this  very  instant  a  .sight  the  most  piefure.sque, 
though  full;  of  pain,  catches  my  eye.  On  the 
other  side  of  the  bay,  distant  "from  here  two 
miles,  stretches  a  spur  of  the  Balkans.  .\t  its 
foot,  wearied  with  travel,  is  encamped  a  village, 
or  rather  the  inhabitants  of  a  village  now  de- 
serted. The  people  are  Tartars,  and  many  of 
their  women  and  children  are  very  pretty  and 
very  fair.  Long  lines  of  blue  smoke  rising  up  teU 
me  they  are  preparing  for  their  evening  meal. 
The  shoe  has  not  begun  to  pinch  yet ;  a  little 
money  is  still  left  and  besides  they  are  in  the 
neighborhood  of  a  town.  To-morrow  they  will 
cross  the  mountains  at  dawn  anddisappear,  to  be 
heard  of  months  afterward  as  dying  from  cold 
and  starvation.  Some  who  read  my  letter  may 
think  I  harp  too  mnch  on  this  subject.  To  them 
I  appeal  for  patience.  If  they  could  picture  to 
themselves  as  connected  with  or  happening  to 
any  member  of  their  family  one  iota  of  what  I 
see,  they  would  recoil  with  horror  and  indigna- 
tion, "ro-day  a  youiig  Englishman  of  good 
family  willprobably  be  shot  after  tnal  by  cotirt- 
martial.  He  was  caught  attempting  to  get  to 
the  Russiaii  lines  with  plans  of  the  Turkish 
fortresses,  and  death  will  be  his  reward.  I  will 
tell  you  all  about  it  when  I  write  to-morrow.  It 
is  very  painful  The  poor  lad  has  been  very  in-

SCRANTON,  -Penn.,  Aug.  12. — On  Satur- 
day afternoon  Cai-bondale  was  thrown  into  a 
state  of  wild  exciteinent,  owing  to  the  fact  that 
about  230  piiners  proceeded  against  the  pump- 
men at  the  several  mines  in  and  about  Carbon- 
dale,  and  ordered  them  to  abandon  their  posts, 
which  request  was  compUed  with.  The 
fires  were  then  drawn,  and  the  mines  are, 
of  course,  being  floodtjd  with  water.  The  crowd 
then  visited  the  ysid  of  the  Delaware  and  Hud- 
son Canal  Company  and  detained  a  train  of 
loaded  cars  which  were  about  to  be  sent  out  to 
Ninevah.  No  resistance  ■was  offered.  The  Erie 
oolHery  above  CarbondaJe  was  visited,  and  the

SUNDAY-SCHOOL  EXERCISES  —  SERMONS  BY 
REV.  C.  H.  PAYNE,  REV.  DR.  NE^WMAN, 
AKD  OTHERS 

F.UKPOrXT,  N.  T..  Ang.  12. — This  has 
been  a  notable  Sunday  at  Fairpoint.  The  Sev. 
enth  National  .Assembly  Sunday-school,  with  1 00 
teachers  and  2.000  pupils,  was  held  at  9  o'clock. 
At  n  o'clock  Rev.  C.  H.  Payne,  D.  D.,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Ohio  We-tleyan  Cniversity  at  Delar 
■ivare,  preached  on  the  riches  of  our  inheritance 
in  Christ  Jesns,  claiming  that  all  things 
belong  to  hi.<  followers,  and  are  for 
their  good.  That  distinguished  man  from 
Boston,  Joseph  Cook,  who  has  reofently  been 
sending  sucli  volleys  of  shot  and  shell  into  the 
camp  of  the  enemy,  who.  with  a  scourge  of 
linked  logic,  hits  been  driving  infidel  scientists 
out  of  the  pure  temple  of  truth,  which  they 
were  profaning,  adfls  to  the  wealth  of 
all  Christian  ministers  and  workers.  He 
does  not  belonir  to  the  Congregational 
Church  nor  to  Boston  alone,  but  to  the 
whole  church  of  Christ  and  to  the  whole  wide 
world.  0r.  Payne  added :  I  glorv  in  tlie  com- 
m:inding  talent  and  the  coniman<^ing  work  of 
this  noble  man,  and  of  all  God's  true  wo'-kmen  : 
they  are  all  niint-  and  all  yours,  and  all  are  serv- 
ing our  highest  interests. 

At  2  o'clock  Rev.  Dr.  Newman,  of  Wa.=hing- 
ton.  preached  in  the  Pavilion,  (which  was  packed 
with  people.)  on  the  mission  of  the  believer 
in  the  evangelization  of  the  world.  This 
topic  implied  the  universal  recognition  of  ,I*sus 
Christ  as  the  Son  of  God,  and  the  other  fact 
that  God  provides  in  His  own  good  time  tbe 
mears  and  the  men  to  accomplish  His  purposes 
So  God  sett  into  the  world  Cyrus  the  Persian 
and  Luther  the  monk,  and  at  last  Joseph  Cook, 
the  Chri.'itian  logician,  v.-ho  is  pre-emin- 
ently ih«-  man  for  the  prejsent  time.  Pseudo 
evangelists,  who  essitycd  to  crow<i  out  the  Pastors, 
were  denounced,  but  the  speaker  said  he  would 
gladly  follow  tbe  leadership  of  such  great  men 
as  Cook,  Murphy,  and  Moody.  Other  men,  un- 
known to  fame,  and  women  and  t^hildrcn  also, 
could  perform  humble  but  eflicient  work  for 
f 'hrisi.  The  great  need  of  such  is  consecration 
to  the  work  of  soul-saving. 

At  .5  o'clock  Mrs.  Emily  Huntington  sillier 
delivered  an  address  on  the  mother's  uncon- 
scious influence,  and  a  voting  men's  meeting 
was  held  under  tbe  direction  of  George  A. 
Hall,  of  New- York.  An  eventide  conference 
was  held  at  7  o'clock  by  Rev.  G.  E.  Stmw- 
bridee.  and  at  S  ^o'clock  Rev.  D.  J.  Yorkes.  of 
PlainfieJd,  N.  .T.,  preached  an  able  sermon. 
Twelve  of  the  best-known  college  fraternities  in 
the  country  have  representatives  now  at  Fair- 
point,  and  a  meeting  of  members  of  the  Delta 
Kappa  Epsilon  Society  was  held  here  Saturday. 
20  members,  representing  six  different  chap- 
ters, being  either  present  or  reporting,  and  it 
was  decided  to  arrange  for  an  excursion  from 
Pairpoint,  and  a  dinner,  on  .Saturday,  Aug.  IS. 

TRYING   TO  MURDER  A  SWITCHMAN. 

CoLUiiBrs,  Ohio,  Aug.  12 — ^A  man  named 
Schlutter.  employed  bv  the  Pan  Handle  Railroad 
C  jmpany,  was  found  near  the  round-house  this 

oming  in  an  un'conscious  condition.  He  had 
a  terrible  bruise  on  his  right  cheek  and  temple, 
which  looked  as  if  it  had  been  made  ■with  a  club. 
His  face  was  so  swollen  that  it  was  impossible 
to  TeU  whether  the  skull  was  fractured  or  not. 
Schlutter  was  employed  as  a  switchman,  and 
stood  by  the  railroad  company  during  the  late 
strike.  It  is  believed  that  the  blow  was  inflict- 
edjby  a  would-be  assassin,  and  the  fact  that 
Schlutter  was  not  robbed  adds  weight  to  this 
suspicion.  The  injured  man  lies  in  a  very  pre- 
carious condition. 

ATTEMPT  TO  WRECK  A  TRAIN. 
Mauch  Chitnk,  Penn.,  Aug.  12.— An  at- 
tempt was  made  to-day  to  wreck  the  early 
through  passenger  train  at  Packerton,  about 
three  miles  from  here.  The  switch  was  un- 
locked and  turned,  but  fortunately  the  engineer 
saw  the  danger  in  time  to  check  the  speed  of 
the  train,  and,  although  every  car  but  one  ran 
off  the  track,  none  of  the  passengers  were  in- 
jured. A  similar  attempt  to  -wreck  the  same 
train  was  made  near  M  ilkesbarre  on  Friday 
morning.

A  SUNDAY  YACHT  RACE  PREVENTED. 
Philadelphia,  Aug.  12. — To-day  a  yacht 
race  was  announced  to  take  place  on  the  Dela- 
ware  River.  The  immense  barge  Creedmoor 
was  to  follow  the  race  with  an  excursion  party. 
As  she  was  ready  to  go  Lieut  Beale,  by  order  of 
the  Jkiayor,  prevented  the  boat  from  leaving', 
and  compelled  tbe  yachts  to  return. 

KILLED  BY  LIGHTNING. 
Jamesto-wn,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  12.— During  the 
Simday-school  services  in  the  Swedish  Lutheran 
Church  this  afternoon,  lightning  entered  an 
..open  rear  ■window  and  passed  out  of  the  front 
window,  instantly  killing  a  boy  named  Ander- 
son, and  prostrating  an  old  lady  and  two  girls. 
The  residence  of  Andrew  Smith  was  struck 
about  the  same  time,  and  Mrs.  Smitn  knocked 
insensible.  

OBSTBUCTING  A  CANAL. 
Cumberland,  M<L,  Aug.  12.— 'Vanlear 
Sprigg,  a  country  storekeeper  at  the  canal  tun- 
nel, who  was  arrested  on  Saturday  by  Capt 
Wright,  Company  A,  Seventh  Maryland, 
stationed  at  that  place,  for  alleged  ob- 
struction of  the  canal  in  detaining 
a   boat   at    the   lock,     has   been    deUvmed

Washington,  Aug.  12. — The  return  of 
Capt  Hamilton's  battery  of  the  Second  Artal- 
leiy  to  the  arsenal  in  this  city  will  relieve  the 
Marine  detachment  which  has  been  on  dnty 
there  for  the  past  three  weeks.  Lieut  Henry 
C.  Cochrane,  of  \he  United  States  Marine 
Corps,  has  been  detached  from  command,  and 
ordered  to  rejoin  the  Plymouth,  which  vessel 
will  probably  leave  here  next  Wednesday  for 
Norfolk  and  New- York,  and  may  carry  to  its 
station  the  Marine  battalion  of  Col.  Forney, 
which  is  now  due  here  from  Baltimore. 

Since  the  Ist  of  July  the  Secretary  of  the 
Na^vy  has  given  employment  to  3,400  men  at 
the  navy-yards  throughout  the  country.  "The 
appropriations  for  the  several  bureaus  of  the 
department  although  smaller  than  usual,  have 
been  liberally  distributed,  so  as  to  give  employ- 
ment to  as  many  as  pos.sible.  It  is  tlie  object  of 
the  Secretary  to  relieve  the  wants  of  those  de- 
serving employment  to  the  full  extent  of  his 
power.

NOTES  FROM  THE  CAPITAL. 


Washington.  Aug.  12,  1877. 

Mr.  O'Sullivan,  who  has  always  been 
prominently  interested  in  the  proposed  Nica- 
raugua  Canal,  was  at  the  State  Department  yes- 
terday on  diplomatic  business  connected  with 
that  enterprise.  He  says  the  work  will  cost  $^j0,- 
000,000.  and  can  be  complet»l  within  five  years. 
No  appropriation  ■will  be  asked  of  Congress,  but 
subscriptions  will  be  opened  in  all  parts  of  the 
world.  He  speaks  confidently  of  the  success  of 
the  work,  the  surveys  for  which  have  already 
been  made  by  the  United  Stales  Government 

Acting  Secretary  McCormiek  yesterday 
issued  a  circular  to  the  employes  of  the 
Treasury  Department,  staring  that  the  credit  of 
the  Government  required  its  duties  to  be  per- 
formed by  honorable  men ;  that  the  Secretary 
wotiJd  not  be  annoyed  by  creditors  seeking  their 
just  dues  from  clerks ;  that  it  ■was  expected  that 
all  just  debts  would  be  paid,  and  that  if  clerks 
refuse  to  pay  just  debts  they  will  be  charged 
with  fraudulent  practices  and  recommended  for 
dismissal  by  the  chiefs  of  their  respective 
bureaus.  

ANOTHER  TAMMANY  APPOINTMENT. 


THE  UTEST  FOREIGN  NEWS. 


ME.  COENTLL,  THE  OLD  BUTCHZB  A>'D  CLERK 
OF  WASHINGTON  MARKET,  REMOVED, 
AM)  A  TAiIMA>'Y  EUSI-SELLER  PL'T  IN 
HIS  PLACE. 
Among  the  new  appointments  of  Controllor 
KeUy  is  that  of  John  Keenan  to  the  clerkship  of 
Washington  Market-  Mr.  John  N.  Cornell,  a  butch«>r 
for  more-  than  40  years,  ti»e  greater  part  of  that 
time  doi'ng  business  in  "Washington  Market,  bas 
been  removed  to  make  room  for  him. 
Keenan  keeps  two  liquor  saloons  in  the 
Elev*mth  Ward— one  on  the  comer  of  Avenne 
C  and"  Eleventh-street — has  served  Tammauy  Hsll , 
faithfully  in  the  State  Lepslntnre.  is  an  active  poli- 
tician in  his  "  de*strict."  and  is.  therefore,  valuable 
to  •'  Boss  ■'  Kelly,  and  the  latter  has  finally  given 
him  a  sabstantial  reward  for  his  services.  The  repu- 
table tradesmen  of  Washington  Market  are  not  very 
well  satisfied  withtbechangethathasheen  made.  Mr. 
Cornell  is  highly  respected  by  them,  and  ei-Controiler 
Green  could  noi  have  selected  a  man  who  had  more 
knowledge  of  the  nwirket  and  the  men  who  do  basi- 
nets there,  and  whoso  experience  so  easily  enabled 
him  to  detect  and  prevent  the  petty  frauds  that  dis- 
honest butchers  and  hucksters  are  every  day  endeav- 
oring to  perpetrate  on  the  xmblic.  Peddlers,  beggars, 
and  thieves  are  continually  appearing  in  the  market, 
and  are  great  'nests  to  tbe  market  men.  To  keep 
them  without  its  precincts  it  is  necessary  that 
some  person.  whose  business  interests  are 
ideutical  with  those  generally  of  the  market  should 
be  its  clerk;  as  that  ofBciaJ  is  required  to  look  after 
such  characters,  and  to  see  that  the  proper  police 
re^rulat ions  are  enforced.  The  clerk  of  a  market,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  Washington  Market  butchers, 
should  be  himself  a  practical  butcher,  one  on  whom 
the  market  men,  and  the  public  generally,  can  depend 
upon  as  knowing  ■what  meat  offered  for  sale  is 
fit  to  sell  and  what  should  be  condemned. 
There  is  a  class  of  men  called  *'  carriers."  who.  when 
the  Kiand-holders  have  pold  out  their  stock,  and  have 
closed  up  for  the  day,  wUl  buy  an>-thing.  no  matter 
how  bad.  place  it  on  the  Tacant  stands  and  sell  it. 
\Vhen  the  deceived  buyer  finds  that  what  he  has 
bought  is  bad,  and  returns  the  next  day  to  complain, 
he  can  find  nobody  who  is  responsible  for  the  sale 
of  it,  the  owner  of  the  stand  not  knowing  who 
has  occupied  his  stand  during  his  absence.  X^e 
clerk  of  the  market  is  the  man  to  look  after  these 
frauds,  and  to  secure  the  punishment  of  the  defraud- 
ers.  In  order  to  do  so.  it  is  very  obvious 
that  he  should  be  tboroughjy  ■*-ell  acquainted 
with  tbe  market,  and  if  he  has  a  business  theie 
callirg  for  his  presence  in  the  market  every  day.  so 
much  the  better.  Mr.  Cornell  can  be  found  at  his 
stand  in  the  market,  when  in  (rood  health,  every  day 
in  the  year.  The  newly  appointed  clerk  will,  if  ne 
expects  to  make  his  Uquor  traffic  pay,  and  to  attend 
to  the  active  work  in  the  political  held  required  of 
him  by  the-Tammany  Hall  Committee  on  Organiza- 
tion.  fisve  but  little  time  left  to  attend  to  his  multi- 
form duties  in  Wa.shington  Market.  Mr.  Cornell  Ls 
unable  to  tell  why  he  has  been  remoTed,  and  the 
only  explanation  that  can  be  (riven  is  that  he  is  not 
as  Valuable  in  politics  to  Tammany  Hall  as  is 
Keenan.  ^^^^^

London,  Axig.  12.— French  political  af. 
fairs  are  beginning  to  take  &  leading  place  ia 
the  view  of  Western  Europe.  »At  B^lin  a  con^ 
dVtat  in  France  is  beU«»-red  probable,  and  it  Is 
also  thought  that  a  Govemroent  estalSlished  Vy 
a  coup  d'etat  would  not  he  recognized  by  G^er- 
many.  Notwithstanding  that  profound  paara 
prevails  throughout  FVance.  the  tltra-Cona^-va- 
tive  papers  are  urgring  the  Government  to  dctclare 
martiaj  law.  There  is  a  report  in  fact,  roxrent 
that  the  Cabinet  have  already  resolve*!  upon 
this  step,  and  some  journals  discuss  it,  in  th« 
light  of  a  foregone  conclusion.-  Tftsterday's 
Unwertt  said  :  '*  If  tbt*  iliniaterfl-'hii.ve  really 
decided,  as  alleged,  by  fir**  votes  to  ftjtir  to  pro- 
claim a  state  of  siecre.  we  shall  highly  approve  0(t 
the  measure.  We  ask  for  a  state  of  siege  that 
the  electors  may  vote  freely,  and  be  unlnflueneed 
by  the  falsehoods  of  the  Radiol  propaganda.** 
The  £7n»v«r»  also  asserts  a  bf'lief  that  an  im- 
mediate procUmation  of  martial  law  is  rendered 
necessary  by  the  license  of  the  radical  news- 
papers, which  dare  to  talk  of  civil  war 
unless  their  candidates  obtain  a  majority  at  the 
approaching  elections.  Mgr.  Ehipanloup^s  news' 
paper.  The  De/ensA,  says  it  is  natural  to  suppose 
that  the  Government  may  be  forced  to  meet, 
by  a  state  of  siege,  the  fierce  and  unconstitu- 
tional war  the  Radicals  wage  against  it ;  tha 
363  have  inaugurated  a  veritable  gd^emmen- 
tal  and  social  crisis  :  the  Constitution  is  formal- 
ly attacked,  and  the  Government  would  be 
wrong  if  it  did  not  seek  '  the  meaz^s  to  defend 
itself. 

The  Committee  of  the  Right  publishes 
another  appeal  for  funds  to  carry  on  their

to  respond  because  propaganda  of  th^Right

Mexico,  dated  July  .^0  :  '•  The  country  is  quiet,

TURKISH  RECRUITING  IN  AMESTCA. 


AN  OFFICIAL  DENIAL    BY    THE    TURKTSti    SOaS-

The  following  has  been  received  from  th« 
Turkish  Legation : 

A  corresx>ondence  from  Xew^ort.  published, 
in  an  important  Philadelphia  nevrspaper  on  the 
10th  inst.,  states  the  followine  : 

"  It  has  been  whispered  about  that  the  Turks  had 
opened   a    recruiting    agency   in    this    city.    It   if* 
pretty     certain      that     there     is     no     reciuit*";

is      no      regular      recruiting      »;tation      or    o*  «•» 
but  there  ia  reason  for  the  bt-Uef  tUtt  if  there     rx

HOBART  PASHA  NOT  IV  COUHIASD 
TBE  TURKISH  FLEET. 
The  DaUy  JV'«ir«'  correspondent  at  Constant!-^ 
nople  writes,  on  the  30th  of  July-:  "  I  see  the  iTate- 
ment  continually  repeated  hi  th» English -papers  that 
Hobart  Pasha  is  in  command  of  the  Turkish  fieet.  It 
may  be  as  well,  once  for  all,  to  state  that  Admiral 
Hobart  never  has  held  such  conumoid,  and 
that  it  is  very  unlikely  that  h©  ever  wiU. 
During  the  past  two  months,  with  one  short 
exception,  he  has  been  hi  Constantinople.  It  is  no 
secret  that  a  squadron  tmder  his  command  in  the 
Black  Sea  would  be  very  much  more  to  his  taste  than 
dandng  attendance  to  the  Admiralry,  and  to-day  it  la 
announced  that  he  bas  succeeded  in  obtshiing  snch  a 
command.  But  fortunately,  probably,  for  the  Rus- 
sian coasts,  the  Turks  are  much  too  jeakms  of  him 
as  a  foreigner  to  give  him  a  eomnvmd  mS- 
ciently  important  to  allow  hJm  to  distxzuuish 
himself.  Meantime,  it  is  a  pleajsnre  to  see  hha 
in  the  streets  of  C-onstanttnople.  and  to  know 
that  the  Torkisfa  fleet  is  out  of  harm's  way.  The 
Turks  have  excuse  themselves  for  not  giving  him  a 
command  on  the  plea  that  they  want  his  axjoKtMHon 
in  Council  here.  It  Is  to  be  hoped  that  they  will  con- 
tinue of  tbe  same  mind-  His  advice  wiU  oartainly  ba 
hooMtly  given.  Coming  from  a  foraigner.  it  ii  al. 
most  equally  certain  not  to  he  acted  rm.  Btrt  the 
Govemment  will  be  satisfied  to  h«re  had  it  and  is

suspicion  -of  the  comiiig  Autumn  is  suggested 
by  touches  of  brown  and  yellow  on  Virginian 
creepers.  iThe  grass  is  green,  the  trees  are  full 
of  umbrageous  splendors.  London  is  delight- 
ful in  Auenst  and  September,  when  the  crowd 
Is  thinner  and'the  noise  of  cab  and  carriage 
i.s  modided  at  midnight.  In  the  season, 
society  rolls  about  on  wheels  all  night,  and  we 
hare  not  yet  passed  the  West  End  in  the  wood, 
though  the  process  of  change  trom  the  old  sys- 
tem w  the  new  is  going  on.  Americans  who  are 
still  here  on  their  holidays  in  Europe  are  sur- 
prised and  delighted  with  the  climate.  With 
Ix)rd  Byron,  they  thonpht  England  had  no  cli- 
mate—only weather.  But  during  the  last  few 
weeks  calm  blue  skies  and  a  pulsation  of  heat  in 
the  atmospbere  have  reminded  them  of  home, 
and  zruule  them  content  with  England. 
Miss  Fanby  Davenport  finds  that  she  can- 
not remain  until  the  middle  of  August,  as  she 
honed.  She  loft  London  last  night,  and  sails 
from  Liverpool  to-diiy  by  the  Spain.  Her  short 
visit,  she  s.iys,  has  been  a  very  pleasant  one, 
and  she  hopes  to  return  early  neit  year  to  ap- 
pear at  ai  West  End  theatre  in  Mr.  Daly's  suc- 
cessful drama  of  •'  Pique."  The  finest  acting 
she  has  seen  here  was  in  "  Old  Men  and  Xew 
Acres,"  by  the  Court  company,  (the  stars  being 
Mr.  Hare  and  Miss  Ellen  Terry,)  and  "The 
Lyons  Mail."  She  considers  31r.  Henry 
Irvine's  dual  performance  the  best  esam- 
j-le  of  melodramatic  acting  of  her  time. 
She  rejrrottM  that  she  could  not  remain  to  see 
•'Liz.  or.  That  Lass  o'  Lowries,"  which  is  to 
h»  prod iic<>(!  in  London  on  the  1st  of  Septem- 
ber, more  esr,»ecinlly  as  she  is  to  play  the  heroine 
m  ihe  new  di*an»  on  the  other  side.  To-day 
^ir.  Palorn-ve  .Simpson  and  one  other  member  of 
the  Garrick  Club  were  to  have  shown  her  the 
treasures  of  that  famous  institution,  and  a 
Thsces  picnic  had  been  arranged  for  her  at  the 
end  of  the  week :  but  the  Spain  and  her  Boston 
engagements  would  not  wait.  and  -so 
the  f.".ir  vision  of  traasjvtlantic  beantji' 
has  disappeared  just  as  its  prciP' 
cnre  v.'as  beginning  to  he  known  and 
ctknowlodi^l.  She  has  only  been  here  10 
[lavs,  during  which  time  several  impromptu  en- 
tertainment of  welcome  have  been  given  to 
her.  The  fllympic  had  an  "At  Home"  in  her 
honor  ;  Mi.'«  Braddon's  last  recention  of  the  sea- 
son was  ma.le  "speciid"  in  the  iutereat  of  the 
Amerit'au  r.riist ;  slia  was  received  by  ?Ir, 
■VViikie  Coliins  ;  and  the  first  manager  in  Lon- 
rion  to  iiSer  her  b  rms  for  next  season  was  Jlr. 
Mapleson.  Atiiong  the  artists  now  in  London 
who  cailed  upon  her  may  bo  mentioned  31r. 
Irving,  ^Ir.  Xevilie.  and  Mr.  JefFerson.  Th^at- 
ri''al  la.^t,?  on  both  sides  of  iheAtlantic  is  aflckle

we  ''.ire  li:tl*' ;  London  f iivors  othe^  whom  you 
will  ni'T.  ri?cei~e.  Just  now  the  London  models 
of  histrionic  art  are  -Mrs.  Kendall.  Mrs.  Baa- 
froft,  and  Eil  n  Terry.  Tae  nearer  Miss  Daven- 
port npptoaciies  in  style  to  any  of  these  the 
in  ore  ccri.ijn  will  be  her  success,  unless  she  has 
a  marktj-l  and  takins  individuality  of  her  own. 
and  in  fn.at  case  she  rany  score  a  distinct  and 
special  rrhiriiph.  She  has  a  magnificent  appear- 
ance, atid  is  haud.<onier  than  any  woman  on  the 
Kn?iish  staje.  Her  elocution  is  tolerably 
free  from  what  they  call  here  "the 
American  acceuf,"  bat  she  betrays  it  in 
the  tironunciarion  of  a-«  few  words,  and 
.•-he  niiist  cet  rid  of  it  if  .she  is  to  appear  in 
siia!;e?p<!trcan  plays  or  old  comedy,  borne  of 
the  Western  journals.  I  nee.  have  been  criticis- 
ing and  UiighincatCoshli^n's  ■■English  accent." 
Now.  MIni*  Davenport's  elocution  Is  far  more 
neutral  in  natlonaipecullorities  than  C'oghlan's, 
nut  the  vecoCTiition  of  his  .shortcomings  i.n  the 
'Tav  of  accetit  on  your  i-ide  will  illustrate  what 
I  mean  by  tiie  American  accent  in  London. 
Misa  Daveiifjort  has  so  little  to  forget  in  this  re- 
spect th.'*t  cweek  with  an  English  familv  would 
irtich  he-  sil  .she  *ant5  to  know  for  the  English 
stase.  and,  uithoueh  you  might  look  upon  the 
lr->.son  a*  nnneressRry  and  an  impertinence, 
<lie  would  lind  the  benefit  of  it  before 
a  Londf^n  auiiience.  As  a  rule.  Londoners 
.■•pe-J:  the  Eu^'lish  l;ingua2e  badly;  they  are, 
liierefore,  hU  the  inoi-e  critical  of  other.:.  In 
oco  ot'  y,r..  Daly's  well-moiinted  -iomestic 
dnimas  31i^s  Davenport  would  make  a  ;^-eat 
fcucce.-s.  Everybody  who  has  seen  her  is 
rhanupfl  with  her  apVearanre.  undone  manager 
talks  of  her  as  "'  the  only  woman  for  Clmpalra, 
•■^ir."  If  3Ir.  Maple.son  'intends  to  open  Her 
Maje.sty.ii.  for  drama,  he  will  materially 
fti-engtlich  ins  chances  of  a  profitable  season  by 
»ngairin2:  this.  American  actress,  and  I  l>elieve 
that  IS  his  O'A-n  opinion. 

Lai-t  niuht  Mr.. Irving  played  flomre(  for  his 
h*^neflt.  Tiie  ho*as«  was  crowded.  Miss  Daven- 
port savs  he  is  the  mo.^t  intere-sting  Prince  she 
ha?  ■ofin.  Hi.^  Ur.mlct  is  more  hun;sn  than  that 
"i  anv  modern  actor:  He  was  enthusiastically 
received.  At  the  close  he  made  a  graceful 
speech,  in  which  he  took  leave  of  his  friends 
iiati!  neic  season.  He  made  a  humorous  allu- 
sion to  the  fact  that  this  year  hia  legs  had  been 
permitted  to  liave  a  rest  Some  of  3ir.  Irving's 
critics  don't  like  his  legs.  If  they  bad  made 
Uni  thev  would  have  given  him  shapely,  Adonis- 
liko  limbs.  Mr.  Irring.  however,  prefers  his  own 
■egs,  ami  so  do  Iiis  audi4teces,  for  thay  fit  his  pecii- 
liar  oru-Uaphaelitisb  figure.  He  told  his  fnends 
last  ni;rlit  that  the  novelties  of  next  season 
would  be  a  new  drama,  ii.-ritten  bv  Mr.  Wilkie 
lollins  fur  Miss  Bateiuan,  to  be  called  ''A  Dead 
Secret."  It  is  generally  understood  that  Irving 
is  to  viair  America  nest  vear.  .Should  he  do  so, 
he  will  open  in  "The  Bells  "or  "The  Lvons 
.Mail."  und  will  play  Bamlei,  Jiichetieii^ 
Ku-hnrtl  III.,  and  Charlss  I,  throwine  in 
nceasionally  some  wayside  example  of  his  light 
and  eccentric  comedy.  The  Lyceum  will  be 
dosed  from  now  until  late  in  the  year,  so  far 
Mr.  Uateinau's  management  is  concerned.  There 
Is  ..iome  talk  of  Carl  Rosa  occupying  it  again 
tor  a  few  week  during  the  vacation 
Mr.  Collins  is  dramatizing  "The  Moonstone 
for  the  Olympic  September  is  fixed  for  its  pro- 
duction, with  Miss  Patoman,  Mrs.  Seymour, 
and  Jlr.  Neville  in  the  leading  characters. 
••  Lady  Aiidley's  Secret"  was  not  a  success  at 
t'nis  theatre,  which  has  had  a  long  run  of  bad 
luck.  -The  Scuttled  Ship"  is  the  only  piece 
that  has  brought  money  into  the  treasury  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  Mr.  Charles  Reade  is  now 
taking  an  active  interest  in  the  management, 
and  it  is  thought  that  "The  Moonstone,  with  a 
.  _*ew  work  by  Keade  to  follow,  will  put  the  pretty 
little  house  in  a  fair  way  to  a  revival  of 
its. better  fortunes.  The  Globe  is  said  to  have 
struck  oil  in  "  Stolen  Kisses,"  though  I  very 
much  doubt  the  genulneneaa  of  the  "crowded 
bouses. "  Mr.  Slerritt's  play  is  well  constructed 
and  full  of  promise  of  f uttxre  juccesses,  but  it  is 
not  entiued  to  the  critical  compliments  which 
have  been  lavished  upon  it.  Jtanagers,  never- 
theless, evidently  think  Mr.  Merritt  deserving 
of  attention.  lUa  "  Golden  Plough,"  recently 
played  in  this  country,  h»«  been  accepted  by 
Mr.  Churterton  for  the  Adalphi,  where  it  is  to 
apt«al  to  the  public  under  a  new  nam&  "  The 
GKilden  Plough  "  is  an  odd  and  unsuggestive 
e.tlc:  "Voices  in  the  Kight"  is  after  all  no 
great  improvement ;  but  a  good  play  will  easier 
carry  a  bad  title  Jhan  a  good  tttla  a  bad  play. 

The  very  lat«3t  settlement  of  "  The  Pink 
Dominos  "  dispute  is  that  Mr.  Wyndham  pays 
Mr  Albery  $2,000  and  re'jilna  all  rights.  After 
iViusing  each  other  in  print  and  in  private,  the 
dramatic  belligerents  have  embraced  each  other, 
swore  eteroal  friendship,  and  Albery  is  to  de

A  SE^liBOUS  SOAK  VHO  GATE  AWAY  OVER 
$200,000  SECRETLY  POB  EDUCATIONAL 
AND  CHAKITABLB  PCTBPOSES. 

The  Rochester  Democrat  has  the  following  in. 

connecjaon  with  the  announcement  elf  the  deaih  In 
that  dty  on  Thtirsaay~oT  Mf .'  Lewis  Brooks : ,  "  Our 
readers  will  remember  the  curiosity  awakened  not 
long  since  upon*  the  anaoimcement  that  a  liberal 
gentlenun  of  Bochester  had  bestowed  $120,000 
upon  the  University  of  Virginia,  at  Montlcello,  had 
erected  new  buildings,  endowed  the  university  with 
a  large  fund,  and  proylded  It  with  a  museum  se- 
lected!  by  Prof.  Ward  in  a  European  tour. 
That  I  liberal  gentleman  waa  Lewis  Brooks. 
It  will  also  be  remembered  that  $10,000 
was  given  last  year  to  the  Rochester  City 
Hospital.  The  donor  was  Lewis  Brooks-  St.  Mary's 
Hospital  also  received  $10,000  from  a  friend  whose 
name  was  not  made  public  The  donor  was  Lewis 
Brooks^  Tho  Industrial  School  and  the  Rochester 
Female  Charitable  Society  were  each  presented  with 
$5,000  in  a  siinilar  manner.  The  donor  of  both 
these  feifts  ti  enterplses  saiUy  in  need  of 
fnndfi'  was  Lewis  Brooks,  tho  man  who  last 
evening,     aft^r '  a    life    of     84     years*    duration, 

Eassed  from  earth  to  his  rest  and  rewr,pd. 
«wis  Brooks  was  a  peculiar  man,  and  one  of  his 
peculiarities  was  his  unwillingness  to  say  anything 
about  himself.  He  was  exceedinRly  modest  and  re- 
tiring in  his  disposition,  and  rarely  confided  anything 
to  any  one.  Hehad  no  family  and  no  relatives  in 
this  city,  and  h^nce  very  little  regarding  his  life  can 
be  given. 

About  40  years  ago  he  retired  from  basinesa.  and 
since  that  time  has  engaged  merely  in  investing 
his  money  and*  icaring  for  the  real  estate  he  owned. 
AVise,  prudent,  and  economical,  he  amassed  a  very 
large  property,  and  having  no  children  with  whom  to 
leave  it,  he  very  naturally  sought   to  do  good  with  it 


by   donating 
educational     purposes. 
hved  :  all     his 
last     16     yeari 
He    had     two 


portion   of    it   to    charitable    and 

He    never    married,      but 

life      alone,     and      dnriuK     the 

boarded   at  the   Osbum   House, 

brothers  Vxvvaa:    in    this  vicinity, 


one  Garry  Brooks,  residing  at  Fairport,  and  the 
other.  Samuel  Brooks,  at  Churchville.  Both  of 
the.-^e  Rentlemeni  have  families.  He  made  no  new  ai'- 
qiiaintandes  except  at  rare  intervals,  but  to  hts  old 
friends  and  associates  he  was  as  true  as  steel,  and  bv 
all  who  kpew  hiin  his  death  will  be  sincerely  and  nn- 
feignedly  moorried.  Alwut  a  week  ajio  he  was  taken 
ill.  but  up  to  Wednesday  afternoon  his  sickness  did- 
not  contme-hirn  to  his  room.  It  then  assumed  a 
more  serioos  form.  Mid  Inst  oveninp,  suddenly  and 
in  an  unexpected  manner,  he  quietly  and  calmly 
dropped  away.  There  was  no  relative  with  him.  but  a 
few  of  his  warm  friends  were  hy  his  side  in  the  bwt  hour. 
l*arce] as  have  been  the  donations  the  deceased  made 
to  pijhlic  jlnstitutions.  they  are  by  no  means  all.  To 
those  I  bel,on2inst  to  his  own  blood  and  to  those  in 
whom!  he  bad  no  personal  interest  save  that  of  syro- 
pathyi  he  has  ffivea  freely  and  largely-  To  the  needy 
and  suffering  his  liherality  has  been  open-handed  and 
almost  unstinted,  and  no  worthy  object  of  assistance 
was  ever  allowed  to  leave  his  presence  unaided.  The 
hospitals  and  other  charitable  institutions  of  this 
citv  have  received  large  benefits  from  his  hands,  not 
only  thron^ih  the  donations  mentioned  above,  but  in 
many  lesBor  amounts  eiven  at  various  times.  It 
wa.5  the  intynliou  of  tho  tleceased,  as  his  friends 
st.tte.  to  bf  slow  a  coodly  sum  upon  every  charitable 
entTpriso  m  tin;  city,  hut  whether  his  arramrenients 
were  perfected  or  not  is  not  known. -There  is  an

TUE  TKURIBLE  CSIME  OF  ATOrXG  GIRL. 
The  London  Daily  Sfu-s  of  Aug.  2  says  :  "A 
remarkable  case  was  heard  before  Mr.  Justice  Brett, 
at  Bury  St.  Edmunds,  on  Tuesday-  Kate  Ellen  Rob- 
inson, domestic  servant,  aged  14,  was  ch.irged  with 
wonnditur  ilargaret  Wender,  her  mistress,  with  in- 
tent to  ktll  her^  at  Yoxford.  ilrs-  Wender  is  a  widow 
of  7f?  years  of  age,  and  of  independent  means. 
and  on  April  ^i  last,  while  she  was  in  bed.  the  pris- 
oner suddenly]  and  without  any  apparent  reason, 
snvagely  attached  her  with  a  heartn-bmsh.  beating 
hor  about  the'  head  and  face.  In  the  strugifle  Mrs. 
Wender  fell  out  of  bed,  and  the  brush  was  lost;  but 
prisoner  ran  down  stairs  and  brought  back  a  bill- 
hoTik;  with  wWlch  she  hacked  her  victim  about  in  a 
terrible  manner,  stopping  her  mouth  with  an 
apron  when  she  attempted  to  give  an  alarm. 
She  then  covered  the  old  woman  up.  and  left  her 
lying  on  the  llojor.  Returning  in  a  short  tiaie  to  see  if 
hhb  was  dead,  prisoner  next  proceeded  to  ran!>ack  the 
house,  takinc  all  the  money,  plate,  and  other  valu- 
ables she  could'lay  her  bauds  on.  She  then -went  to 
the  nearest  railway  station,  where  she  told  a  woman 
that  she  was  going  to  Ipswich,  and  would  be  met 
there  by  a  person  to  take  the  things  which  she  had 
with  her.  Her  mistress  recovered  from  the 
swoon  into  which  she  had  fallen  through 
fri^t  and  loss  of  blood,  and  succeeded  in  attracting 
the  jaiteotion  of  the  neighbors-  Prisoner  was 
traced  to  the  railway  station,  and  found  with  the 
stolen  propertyin  her  po.<isesslon.  The  juryretumed 
a  verdict  of  guilty,  and  ilr.  Justice  Brett,  In  passin? 
aent^nee.  said  that  if  a  grown-up  person  had  been 
convicted  of  such  a  diabolical  offens«  he  should, 
without  hesitation,  have  committed  him  or  her  to 
penal  servitude  for  life;  but.  taking  the  prisoner's 
youth  Into  censideration.  he  would  sentence  her  to 
only  112  years'  penal  servitude." 

A  OVRIOUS  USE  FOB  TBE  MAGyET. 
A  curious  instance  of  the  utility  of  the  magnet 
is  mentioned  in  the  Adelaide  RegisUr  of  June  14.  A 
young  lady  sat  down  on  a  settee  on  which  a  needle 
had  ^en  carelessly  left.  It  pierced  her  thigh  and  to- 
tally disappeared  in  the  flesh.  Medical  men  said  it 
could  onlvbe  reached  by  a  large  inriaion,  and  con- 
cluded to  leave  it  time  In  the  hope  that  it  might  work 
itself  out.  The  pain,  however,  became  so  severe  that 
the  young  lady  was  confined  to  her  bed.  So  a  magnet 
was  sugzested,  and  a  powerful  one  being  procured 
and  applied,  in  four  hours  the  needle  reacbea  the  sur- 
face,! zHlsed  and  protruded  itself  through  the  skin, 
and  was  instantly  extracted.  It  h«d  been  in  the  flesh 
for  three  weeks. 


I  EFFECTS  OF  TBS  IMAGIKATIOK. 
The  Beading  (Penn. )  EagU  of  Thursday  has  the 
foUoiwlng  account  of  the  curious  way  in  which  a  resi- 
dent] of  that  place  waa  almost  driven  hico'a  qni<^ 
consumption:  "The  case  is  that  of  Henry  C.  Ersh- 
man,  residing  near  the  boundary  of  the  county,  near 
SweetWood,  who  is  a  large  owner  of  iron  ore  lands, 
and  the  possessor  of  considerable  property.  Up  to 
within  several  weeks  ago  he  was  hale  and  heuty, 
and.  notwithstan(Ung  lua  abundance  of  this  world's 
goods,  he  generally  wore  one  suitrof  clothes  during 
the  week  and  on  Sunday.  Several  weeks  ago  he  was 
startled  because  he  imagined  that  a  very  foul  smell 
either  cams  from  his  ears,  or  mouth,  or  the  pores  of 
hia  ikln.  He  was  greatly  alarmed,  and  imagined  he 
was  sinking  into  galle^ig  e«nsmnptio«,  and  was 
gradnaHy  decaying.  He  was  unable  to  sleep, 
bee&me  haggard  and  exaaeiaied.  and  even

The  WDodSQian  had  a  loss  talk  with  him,  and  he 
ateod  quite  close  to  examine  him.  Then  the  woods- 
man asked  tho  rick  man  for  his  coat  It  wm  e»m-

it  was  discovered  that  the  stench  followed.  The  eoat 
was  then  thoroughly  examined  and  a  dead  mouse  was 
found  in  the  lining.  The  mouse  had  by  some  means 
potten^&to  the  lining  of  his  coat  and  died  there,  and 
its  decaying  remains  caused  the  nnnleasant  effluvia. 
TiVhen  this  was  made  known  the  sufferer  gained  cour-

Th^  Galvesion  A>tr«,  a  Democratic  paper, 
prints  tha  following  in  its  correspondence  from 
Austin,  Te^as,  dated  6th  hist. : 

J  The  Depaocracy  all  along  the  rank  and  file  are 
confused  and  chagrined  at  the  details  of  the  land 
gn^b.  ;  Thete  are  none  who  know  Mr.  Groos  would 
suspect  hi^  action  was  actuated  bv  any  interested 
motives,  ai^d  people  generally  think  he  has  only  been 
exirenaely  weak.  Some  say  the  interests  over  which 
he  |ha"  eon^ol,  t>eing-even  of  more .  importance  than 
those  in  charge  of  the  State  Treasurer,  as  the  titles  to 
hundreds  abd  thousands  of  homesteads  are  involved, 
and  the  Stjate's  rights  in  the  several  million  acres  of 
school  anti  university  lands  are  involved,  it  is  the 
ve^y  worst  pobdy  to  retain  in  such  position  a  man  so 
incjapable  \ot  pixitecting  these  interests  as  ho  has 
Bhowujhitnkelf  to  be,  and  that  therefore  the  people 
ought  to  aflkl  him  to  resign.  And  the  Radicals  enjov 
the  situatTon.  They  say  the  Uttle  steal  of  375.000 
acres  is  all  In  the  Democratic  brotherhood— that 
Democratic  contractors,  Domocrati?  aspirants,  and  a 
Democratic  official  fixed  up  the  little  job — while 
tliey  i  poiiit  ylth  exultation  to  the  record 
of  I  JJr.  Kuechler,  >Ir.  Groos'  predecessor, 
also  ia  .  Gerdian,  but  %  Eepublican.  who, 
in  I  |»|  islmllai:  ca.«ie  acted  just  to  the 
contrary.]  j'While  he  was  in  office  a  railroad  reserva- 
tion wAs  !  opened  to  location  of  land  certificates. 
Every  I  other  section  of  tlie  reservation  had  originally 
been  reRCcrved  for  tho  public  school  fund.  When  tho 
reservatiori  was  opened  the  land  sharks  went  for  tha 
school  l«if»4^.'' holding  that  the  forfe,iture  or  opening 
of  the  resep-ation  opened  all  the  lands  in  it  to  loca- 
tion. They  made  their  surveys  and  filed  them  and 
certificate^ for  patent:  but  Mr.  Kuechler  would  not 
issue  tho  pptent!!.  Every  influence  was  brought  to 
bear,  butjne  resisted.  Even  for  a  time  the  Attomey- 
Geineral.  l^t  is  claimed,  thought  the  Commissioner 
ought  to  jiit^ne  the  patents.  He  stood  out  upon 
what  ihej  thonght  to  be  the  right  line  to  pro- 
tect Jhi"^  .Sta|e  and  tho  school  fund  without 
regard  to  the  opinions  of  outside  parties  as  to  the 
strict  letter  of  j  the  law.  The  result  was  a  suit  to 
cojnpol  lilm  to]  Issue  the  patents.  The  Attoniey- 
General  Ipterpased  ah  able  aefense.  and  the  Supremo 
Court  jdi.sniissed  the  suit,  and  Mr.  Kuechler  had  the 
.■ia^lsfftctilon  of  refiecting  that  he  had  saved  600.000 
to  l.OOO.OOO  aci-es  of  land  to  the  sehoolfnnd.  A  Demo- 
cratic official  has  taken  precisely  the  contrary  course, 
issued;  llie  certificates,  and  says  somebody  else  should 
have  resisted  th^  demand.  Kuechler's  ease  is  reported

"Avoid  bathing  within  two  hours  after  a  meal,  or 
when  exhausted  by  fatigue  or  from  any  other  cause, 
or  when  khe  body  is  cooUug  after  perspiration,  and

chillinessi  with  numbness  of  the  hands  and  feet ;  but 
bathe  when  tho  body  is  warm,  provided  no  time  U

body  by  sitting  or  standing  undressed  on  the  banks

From  the  CoUtmbxtt  (Ga.)  Enquirer. 

ArnAirrA,  Ang.  3,  1877. 

Allow  me  to  call  attention  to  one  fact  that 
may47eate  a  false  impression  in  the  minds  of  some 
of  your  readers,  and  the  readers  of  other  papers,  in 
reference  to  the  action  of  the  Constitutional  Conven- 
tion. I  allude  to  this,  that  the  first  crude  reports  of 
the  Committee  of  Nine  are  published  as  the  action  of 
the  convention,  on  the  various  subjects  submitted  to 
such  committee.  It  may  happen  that  the  reader 
will  get  these  original  propositions,  submitted  by  a 
committee  of  nine,  so  fixed  in  his  mind  that  It  will  bo 
difficult  afterward  to  remove  the  impression  so  made 
upon  him.  -These  original  reports  frequently  un- 
dergo a  radical  change  before  final  action  is  had  upon 
them,  lu  the  first  place,  they  are  submitted  to  a 
cominittee  of  20.  where  they  are  discussed,  received, 
and  amended,  and  then  submitted  to  the  entire  body, 
where  important  changes  and  amendments  are  often 
made. 

In  illustration  of  the  above,  take  the  case  of  the 
report  of  the  Committee  of  Twenty-six  in  reference 
to  the  mode  of  selecting  the  Judges  of  the  Supreme 
and  Superior  Cotirts.  That  committee,  as  vou  hsve 
seen,  auggested  an  entirely  new  plan.  Tiiat  was, 
that  the  Senate  should  select  (or  elect)  and  present 
to  the  Governor  two  names,  and  one  of  these  the 
Governor  should  nominate  to  the  Senate  to  be  con- 
firmed by  them.  This  new  proposition,  submitted 
by  the  committee,  had  but  verj*  few  advocates  in 
the  convention.  Now,  here  were  before  the  con- 
vention four  different  modes  of  selecting 
the  Judges.  The  above  was  one ;  another 
was,  a  direct  appointment  by  the  Governor ; 
another  was  an  election  by  the  people,  and  stiU  an- 
other was  an  election  by  the  Legislature.  Each  of 
the  four  modes  had  some  merits.  Hnd  each  has  some 
objectionable  features.  The  proposition  submitted 
by  the  committee  received  no  consideration,  and  had 
no  advocate  before  the  convention.  Tlie  str^ic^le 
was  between  the  advocates  of  the  other  three  modes;. 
and  they  seemed  to.be  pretty  eqoallj*  divided.  Those 
favortng  an  election  by  the  people  were  organized. 
active,  and  persistent.  That  mode  of  selecting 
Judges  at  this  time  had  such  manifest  objections 
that  the  friends  of  all  other  modes  reaaily  combined 
against  it,  and  by  a  large  majority  the  convention  de- 
termined that  the  Judges  and  Solicitors  should  be 
elected  J>y  the  Legislatnre.  For  a  long  seriei*  of 
years  our  Judges  were  elected  in  that  way.  and  It 
seems  to  have  worked  welL  1  confess  that  from  be- 
ginning to  end  I  wjrdialiy  supported  that  mode  of  se- 
lecting Judges,  and  rav  recollection  is  that  it  received 
the  votes  of  all  the  delegates  from  the  Twenty -fourth 
District.  For  myself  I  supported  it  as  against  the 
appointment  bythe  Governor  mainly  for  the  reason 
that  I  desired  to  see  this  immense  patronage  taken 
from  the  Executive. 

In  this  connection  allow  me  to  say  that  I  shall  per- 
sistently vote  on  this  Une  to  the  end  of  the  chapter. 
I  was  on  the  committee  on  the  Executive  Department, 
and  that  committee  recommended  and  reported  sev- 
eral important  and  radical  changes  in  the  department. 
First.  Ujat  the  Govomnr  should  l»e  elected  for  only 
two  iiviioad  of  four  years  ;  second,  after  a  second 
term  he  should  be  inelizible  for  four  years  ;  and, 
third,  that  the  Secretar^'of  State,  ControUer-d'eneml, 
and  Treasurer  should  be  elected  by  the  people  at  the 
same  time  and  for  the  same  term  as  the  Governor. 
This  will  fjccasion  no  eslra  elections  and  no  extra 
expense.  They  will  be  elected  on  the  same  ticket 
with  the  Governor.  With  this  action  of  tho  commit- 
tee I  heartily  '  oucurred,  and  it  has  been  ratified  by 
the  convention.  And  In  committee  I  went  further, 
and  proposed  that  the  Attorney -General  should  also 
be  elected  by  the  people,  and  not  appointed  by  the 
Governor.  A  majority  of  the  committee  favored  hi* 
appointment  by  the  Goremor,  and  so  reported  to  the 
Commit  tee  of  Twenty-six  and  they  reported  the  same 
way  to  the  convention.  From  that  committee  I  ap- 
pealed to  the  convention,  and  by  a  large  majorify  they 
sustained  the  proposition  that  the  Attorney -General 
should  :ilso  be  elected  by  the  people; 

1  ailuife  to  this  to  show  the  processes  through 
which  every  psragraxth  in  tho  Constitution  has  to 
pass.  Tht?' Executive  Department  has  now  all  been 
completed,  aud  1  believe  the  chauKes  will  bo  indorsed 
by  the  |.K»ople.  The  salary  of  the  Governor  was 
fixed  at  .$;i.O00.  I  think  it  too  low,  but  you  mu?-t 
remember  that  tJiere  are  lUl  obstinate  delegates,  aud 
I  cannot  have  my  way  In  all  things.  For  instance.  I 
proposed  that  the  tlxeeutive  Mansions,  both  of  them, 
should  l>e  sold,  and  the  Governor  receive  a  fixed 
salary  and  no  perquisites.  The  truth  is.  that  as  a 
business  transact'on  it  costs  the  State  annuallv  from 
»10.*KK>  to  .-JIS.OOO  to  support  tho  Governor.  This 
is  made  up  of  the  interest  of  $75,tHX).  invested  in 
mansions;  the  insurance,  repairs,  gas,  water.  &c.,  in 
conuoctiou  with  the  same,  and  ahw  the  furniture  and 
renow.il  and  re}>airs  of  the  same.  But  these  ubati- 
nate  dt tcgate.s  are  iu  mv  way.  But  I  do  believe  this 
proposition  will  tinidiy  be  carried  out.  Many,  verj' 
manv  dplcgatca  are  now  In  favor  of  it.  The  (rovern- 
OTs.  X  am  informed,  do  not  want  these  palaces,  for  if 
tliey  live  iu  palaces  they  rau.st  entertain  like  Princes, 
and'  their  little  salaries  are  soon  exliansted. 

I  now  firmly  l>elicve  that  this  couvention  will  sub- 
mit a  constitution  that  will  receive  the  approbation 
of  the  p-niple.  The  rvduriion  of  the  expenditures  of 
Govf  i-nmf  ut.  I  bt,'lieve,  will  amouut  to  :5100,0<K)  per 
cnriuni,  and  may  reacli  $150,000.  My  fear  now  i-^, 
that  they  may  go  a  little  loo  far  in  the  reduction  of 
salBrie5,'o.specially  In  the  salaries  of  the  Judges. 

The  capital  and  homestead  questions,  what  about 
them  f  The  flrs^t.  I  think,  will  be  settled  as  a 
separate  proposition  outside  of  th.e  Constitution.  It 
eiritcs  lint  little  interest  among  delegates- 

The  lioinestend  question  oiiaht  to  be  settled  in 
30  minutes.  Tho  fundaTiiental  law  ought  to  do  no 
more  than  to  limit  the  amount  to  $2,000.  in  both 
real  and  personal  property,  and  leave  all  the  details 
to  the  Legislature.  That  Is  my  proposition  and  I 
wl'!  i^ttind  on  it.  But.  as  I  hsve  said  above,  tbo'^o 
o'^alinHte  d*»iogates  may  lie  in  my  way.  The  educa- 
tional questiiot  will  receive  attention  when  renchcd. 

Why  not  linish  up  the  work  and  come  borne  .' 
Becaiise  of  these  same  obstinate  men;  they  won't 
atrree  with  rae.  Thero  are  many  able,  talented,  and 
true  men  in  this  convention.  Not  a  givai  number  of 
e:oqu<*iit  KjicHkers.  audperhaps  all  the  better  for  that. 
As  a  body  they  have  a  largo  share  of  ii:telligence, 
capacitv.*  and  "sound  judgnient. 

FORTER  INGRAM. 


^  ▲  aotton  was  made  to  hear  Mr.  Bnadt,  Mr: 
mbbee,  and  any  one  who  mi^bt  wish  to  speak.  Mr. 
HaittTBond  said  ihe  convention  was  waitizig  on  the 
committal  and  he  did  not  think  it  should  stop  Jo 
hear  speeches ;  that  he  thought  ther  did  wrong  when 
theyhetfd  Gov,  Brown  and  Col.  «^wkins  on  tbo 
rai&oad  matters ;  that  It  was  best  to  let  those  gentle- 
men print  what  they  wished,  and  lay  that  before  tho 
convention.  Upon  that  the  committee  decUsed  to 
hear  oral  argimieut-  Mr.  William  ii.  Reese  stated 
that  the  bonds  of  J.  Boorman  Johnson  &  Co.  and" 
Branch  were  covered  by  the  amendment  to  the  Con- 
stitution, and  the  convention  would  not  go  behind 
that.  Mr.  Hammond  was  of  opinion  that  if  the 
State  owed  Branch  or  J-  Boorman  Johnson  &  Co., 
is  was  not  on  the  bonds,  but  on  equitable  elaiins  on 
account  c%  money  paid  out  because  of  tbo  acts  of  the 
State  authorities  and  Legislature.  It  was  said  that 
an  attempt  to  press  these  bonds  to  recognition  would 
result  m  failure,  and  perhaps  prove  bad  even  any 
equitable  claim. 

The  .State  is  likely,  to  experience  no  trouble  at  tho 
hands  of  any  of  the  disgruntled  bondholders,  except 
Mr,  T.  P.  Branch.  Jrfr.  Branch  is  very  much  exas- 
perated at  the  treatment  he  has  received,  and  de- 
clares that  he  intends  to  seize  the  property  of  the 
Macon  and  Bnmswick  Railroad  or  the  road  itself,  as 
the  property  of  the  State.  He  claims  that  the  Stat© 
hold  the  5IacDn  and  Brunswiclr  Railroad  only  bv 
reason  of  the  $2.r>O0.0OO  of  bonds  he  indorsed  for 
that  road,  and  which  that  road  failed  to  pay:  and  thai 
as  the  State  has  redudiated  $(i00,000or  those l^nds. 
the  holders  of  those  bonds  own  the  proportion  of 
the  road  that  their  bonds  bear  to  the  whole  issue. 
He  will  place  the  levy  in  the  hands  of  the 
United  States  Marshal,  and  sa>s  he  will  have 
1 2  Deputies  sent  to  Macon,  and  have  them 
stop  the  trains  and  s^ze  them  as  his  property.  Tho 
State,  to  throw  off  the  levy  of  the  United  State«t 
Marshal,  must  go  into  the  United  States  Court,  and 
then  the  merits  of  the  case  can  be.- gone  into.  Mr. 
Branch  also  avows  an  intention  of  publishing  certain 
correspondence  that  passed  between  himself  and  Gt)V. 
Smith,  and  between  Gov.  Smlthand  the  officials  of  the 
Macon  and  Brunswick  Railroad  upon  this  subject. 
So  it  is  likely  that  if  Major  Branch  does  not  get  his 
money  he  ^v^Il  have  several  thousand  dollars'  worth 
of  fnn.  We  asked  a  lawyer  what  he  thought. the  ef- 
fect of  Major  Branch's  course  would  be.  •'Why,  he 
will  gn  routed,"  he  replied.  "It's  well  enough  to 
take  high-handed  meastires  wi*h  an  individual,  btft 
when  a  man  is  dealing  with  a  sovereign  State,  he  had 
better  go  to  her,  humbly  l^seeching  upon  his  bended 
knees,  and  even  then  the  chances  are  that  he  will  get 
lUted  out  «npty.'' 


POLITICAI  MISCELLAlfT. 


kemarks  of  ex-gov.  jeneinb  in  the  con- 
xt:ntion. 

Es-Gov.  Jenkins,  in  moving  his  amendment 
that  the  disputed  claims  be  submitted  to  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  State,  and  that  its  decifdon  should  be 
final  and  conclusive  between  the  State  and  the  claim- 
ants, snid  :  -I  have  never  been  tho  legal  adviser  of 
any  of  these  claimants-;  these  gentlemen.  Branch 
and  Herring,  are  known  to  me  as  citizens  of  Augusta. 
Boorman,  Johnson  &  Co.,  are  tmknown  to  me.  I  do 
not  know  that  I  ever  saw  one  of  the  firm.  I  know 
none  of  them.  I  am  proceeding  upon  what  I  believe 
to  be  a  sound  principle  in  this  matter.  But  from  the 
very  instance  which  I  detail,  it  does  seem  to  me  that 
the  pa«t  action  of  the  Lejrislatnre  ought  not  to  be 
conclusive  or  that  upon  which  this  convention  or  the 
sovereign  people  of  Geonoa  shonld  be  contented  to 
rc-st  a  judgment.  Now,  Sir,  what  is  the  objection  to 
the  plan  1  propose  of  haWng  the  cases  inve.stiga^ed 
and  adjudicated  by  your  Supreme  Court.  You 
say  it  is  a  burden.  It  will  be.  I  know.  o,ut 
by  no  means  so  great  as  yon  supposed.  The  Legis- 
lature in  carrying  out  tKis  prori.sion  may  provide 
that  ell  claims  coming  btifore  tiio  Supreme  Court. 
and  resting  ujmn  the  same  facts,  when  the  facts  are 
ascertaineil  ehall  be  consolidated  and  brought  into 
ouo  case,  and  it  will  not  be  so  large  a  burden'  as  you 
teem  to  think.  As  to  tne  expense,  what  is  it  f  ^At 
most  only  a  few  thousand  aoUare  ;  aud  then  'the 
State  of  Geoi-gia  will  have  ^assumed  and  taken  the 
position  of  entire  impartiality  in  this  matter,  and 
*give  these  claimants  an  opportunity  to  defend  them- 
selves, and  yon  will  see  that  the  judgment  of  the 
Supreme  Court  will  be  conclusive.  Now.  I  ask  the 
gentlemen  if  they  cannot  trust  these  claimants  to 
their  own  Supreme  Court  f  All  of  them  (the  court) 
are  men  of  supreme  legal  talents,  high  moral  charac- 
ter, and  the  greatest  imaginable  purity.  Can't  you 
truKt  them,  and  won't  it  be  more  satisfactory 
to  you  in  future  and  your  constituents  that  you  have 
submitted  the.*te  legal  claimants  to  adjudication  i 
And  if  Gt-oi^na  is  not  liable,  then  no  charge  of  injus- 
tire  can  be  brought  against  this  convention.  Is  not 
that  a  better  plan  of  settling  this  matter  than  by  a 
sweeping  clause  of  repudiation  enacted  by  a  body  the 
majority  of  whOm  do  not  understand  the  merits  of 
these  claims !  Do  you,  gentlemen,  any  of  you  who 
have  not  been  membefs  of  the  Legislatiure  at  the 
time  these  matters  were  considered — I  say,  have  you. 
aeJear  idea  and  thorough  knowledge  of  these  claims  ? 
I  have  not  myself,  and  I  c.innot  consent  to  vote  for 
this  sweeping  clause  of  repudiation  without  mure 
knowledge  than  I  have.  It  strikes  me  that  the  pro- 
cedure which  yonr  committee  has  recommended 
h**re,  and  which  disposes  of  all  of  them  if  it  is  carried 
out.  will  be  nt-ithcr  wise,  nor  just,  nor  moderate,,  the 
motto  of  your  liitherto  uniiullied  coat  of  anns,  !Mr. 
President,  this  is  a  very  crave  question-  It  comes 
home  to  tbe  character  of  the  State  for  wisdom,  jus- 
tif-e.  and  moderation.  I  aiu  not  disjiosed  to  worry 
this  convention.  I  think  I  have  oxpreRsed  my  views, 
and  submit  them  to  your  eonsiden;t:on." 

The  discu^ioii  was  continued  by  Robert  Toombs 
and  (.th'irs.  and  then  the  couveution  voted  by  16<» 
yea-i  to  15  nuys  to  lay  ex-Gov.  Jenkins'  anjen'dment 
uponthe  table,  thus  refilling  to  refer  even  to  their 
own  Supreme  Court  the  question  of  the  validity  of 
these- claims.  It  was  easier  to  repudiate  them  at 
once.  It  may  have  seemed  cheaper,  too.  but  it  is 
doubtful  if  it  i?>  found  to  pay  in  the  long  run. 


SOME    INFORMATION     ABOUT     THE      OBLIGA- 
TIONS WHICH     THE  STATE    HAS  REPUDI- 
ATED THROUGH  THE  ACTION  OF   ITS  CON- 
STITUTIONAL  CONVENTION. 
From  the  Atlanta  (Go..)  CongtUittion,  Avg.  9. 
There  axe  only  three  classes  of  Bonds  in  be- 
half of  which  much  effort  has  been  made.    It  is  true 
that  concerning  a  fourth  class  {$100,000  worth  held 
by  the  Warehouse  Security  Company  of  New-York) 
we  have  seen  a  letter  read  from  the  Speaker's  desk. 
But  no  serious  effort  was  made  to  bar  these  bonds 
left   out   of  the  prohibition.    The  three  contested 
classes  are  as  follows  : 

1.  The  Scott  BondJi.— These  bonds,  only  about  S12,- 
000  worth,  were  issued  during  the  administration 
of  Gov.  McDonald,  and  there  is  no  question  of  their 
original  validity.  The  trouble  with  them  Is  this  : 
When,  in  1S72,  the  Legislature  required  that  all  out- 
standing bonds  should  be  registered  within  a  given 
time,  these  bonds  were  omitted,  through  carelessibcss 
of  the  holder  or  his  agent.  Payment  upon  them  is 
now  barred. 

2.  The  Rnorwan  Johnson  Bond*.— These  bonds. 
SI -0.000  on  tho  face,  have  the  following  histor\' : 
The  State  paid  H.  I.  Kimball  $250,000  for  the  caui- 
tol,  paving  liim  in  bonds.  He  hvpothecated  $130.- 
000  of  these  bonds  with  Russell,  Sa^e  &  Co.  After 
a  short  time  Bullock  issued  $250,000  of  now  bonds 
with  which  to  take  up  these  bonds.  He  gave  them 
out.  but  they  were  not  U5:ed  to  retire  the  old  bonds, 
but  were  applied  to  a  different  use.  The  State  then 
repudiated  the  bonds  first  issued  &nd  held  that  the 
last  isstie  only  was  vaUd.  Messrs-  RusselL  Sase  & 
Co.,  however,  received  a  settlement.  Messrs.  John- 
son &  Co.  now  apply  for  a  settlement. 

.'J.  The  Branch  d  Co.  £ond«.— These  bonds  are 
$44,000  on  the  face,  and  were  issued  in  aid  of  the 
Macon  and  Brunswick  Railroad.  Mr.  Branch  s  claim 
is  oe  follows :  He  recites  that  when  the  Legislature 
was  sifting  out  the  bad  bonds  from  the  good  "ones  it 
was  declared  by  special  act  of  the  Legulature  that 
the  Macon  and'Brunswick  Railroad  bonds  were  bind- 
ing and  valid;  that  Gov.  Smith  approved  this  act, 
and  tiiat  relying  upon  this  guarantee  of  the  State, 
given  through  its  highest  constituted  authority,  he 
and  Ills  partners  invented  heavilv  in  the  bonds.  The 
bonds  were  repudiated  at  a  late  date,  and  Mr.  Branch 
now  asks  that  the  ytate  suslaiu  it.-;  guarantee  by  pay- 
inc  him  tho  money  he  expended  for  the  bonds. 

The  bulk  of  the  condemned  bonds,  however,  do  not 
appear  befot^  the  convention  at  all.  They  are 
doubtless  considered  "waste  paper,"  and  held  by  onr 
friends  pretty  much  as  we  held  the  blue  and  white 
rags  that  passed  for  money  when  the  southern  cross 
was  beaming  in  the  political  sky.  Of  course,  if  these 
three  classes  of  bonds,  now  pressing  for  payment,  are 
allowed,  it  will  open  the  door  through  wnieh  millions 
of  more  bonds  wUl  uress  their  clamorous  way.  In- 
deed, the  payment  of  Mr.  Branch's  claim  will,  it  is 
said,  be  confession  to  a  principle  on  which  the  whole 
of  the  repudiated  bonds  of  the  Macon  &  Bruns- 
wick Railroad  ($000,000  in  value)  will  be  made  valid. 

This  fact  seems  to  be  the  chief  reason  for  refusing 
to  entertain  the  cousideration  of  these  clasf^es  of 
bonds.  There  are  many  good  men  who  believe  In 
the  justice  of  one  or  more  of  these  claims.  Mr. 
Jeremiah  Black,  of  Pennsylvani»j  has  written  a  me- 
morial, in  which  he  says  that  he  is  certain  that  the 
State  owes  the  Boorman  Johnson  debt.  Mr.  Ste- 
phens avouL'hes  iu  moat  earnest  lan;juage  the  integ- 
rity of  Mr.  Branch's  claim.  In  this  he  is  backed  by 
Gov.  Jenkins,  by  Mr.  W.  Hope  Hull,  by  Major  Cnm- 
miu^s,  and  by  Mr.  Toombs,  who  toploftfcally  re- 
marks that  if  "the  State  don't  pay  it,  be  will."  Mr. 
Norwood  thinks  Johnson's  elaun  good,  and  so  does 
Senatoz'  Kibbee  and  Senator  Simmons. 

It  is  objected,  however,  that  to  reonen  the  ques- 
tion now,  even  to  set  aright  some  injustice  that  may 
have  been  done  -under  the  general  act  of  repudiation. 
would  be  to  put  the  State  in  great  peril  and  to  great 
trouble.  It  is  uontended  besides  that  several  Legis- 
latures have  acted  upon  these  matters,  and  have  al- 
ways agreed  upon  repudiating  the  whole  amounts, 
ana  that  the  people  of  Qeoi^a  having,  by  s  sov. 
ereign  vote,  incorporated  the  ordinance  of  repudia- 
tion into  the  present  Constitution,  this  convention 
hss  no  right  to  reopen  a  (Question  that  has  been 
settled  in  so  «cphatic  deUberate,  sad  solemn  a 
manner.

In  a  letter  written  on  the  7th  inst.,  ex-Chief- 
Justice  Lochrane.  of  Geoi^a,  says :  "  We  have  had

but  no  man  denies  he  was  the  Governor  of  Geor^ — 
the  sovereign  executive  power  of  the  State.  No  man 
denies  that  the  Legislature  that  indorsed  the  Issue  of 
the  bonds  was  constitutionally  th*  law-making  power 
of  the  State — no  man  denies  ihe  pa^^sage  of  the  law. 
the  appeal  to  the  courts,  and  decision  favorable  to

erty .S'J.fi^ti.Gli.  No  roan  denies  that  the  Courts  of

TOOMBS  BACKS  DOWN  AGAIN. 
The  Atlanta  (Ga. )  ConstitiUion  of  the  Sthinst. 

prints  the  following  :  "A  very  lively  little  row  was 
raised  in  the  Comtnittee  of  Revision  on  Monday 
evening.  When  some  question  involving  the  rights 
of  araJlroad  lo  arrange  an  arbitrary  freight  tariff  was 
up.  Mr.  Toombs  challenged  the  votes  of  those  mem- 
bers of  the  comnfiittee  who  were  stockholders  in  iho 
railroad,  saying  that  they  should  not  be  allowed  to 
vote  upon  a  question  involving  them  from  interest . 
In  issuing  this  challenge  he  called  CoL  Mathew,  of 
Ogletl  nrpe.  by  name.  This  brought  that  gentleman 
I  promptly  to  his  feet,  aud  he  let  fiy  a  sort  of  verbal 
shouliierhitter  at  Mr.  Toombs.  Ho  repelled  most 
sconifuUy  the  Insinuation  that  his  vote  could  be  influ- 
ei:''fHi  by  ills  ]>eciuiiary  interesta,  and  gave  Mr.  Toombs 
M>DiB  very  hard  language,  proposing,  among  other 
things  of  an  accommodating  nature  '  that  he  wjts 
willinc  and  ready  to  meet  that  gentleman  whenever. 
wherevoT.  and  however  he  desired.'  Mr.  Toombs 
stared  that  he  simply  made  a  legal  objection  to  the 
casting  of  a  vote  by  parties  interested  in  the  decision. 
Thus  has  the  possible  shedding  of  gore  been  averted 
and  a  very  promising  tussle  nipped  in  the  hud.  The 
matter  was.  weleam.  adjusted  pleasantly  yesterday 
evening  in  the  committee  room-  '

The  Pan  Mall  GazctU  of  Aug.  1  says:  ''The 
hamals  or  porters  of  Constantinople  are  Armenians 
and  Turks,  and  form  a  powerful  guild.  The  bad 
roads  and  narrow  streets  of  Eastern  cities  are  not 
favorable  to  ordinary  vehicles,  consequently  heavy 
merchandise  in  bales,  cases,  and  barrels,  is  slung  on 
poles,  or  placed  oa  the  backs  of  porters,  who  struggle 
through  the  streets  undergoing  a  labor  which  could 
be  far  more  economically  performed  by  other  loco- 
motive power.  These  porters,  form  a  well- 
disciplined  trade  association,  which  governs  its 
members  with  considerable  success.  To  the  stranger, 
a  string  of  apparently  poor  and  needy  porters  in- 
trusted with  thousands  of  pounds  in  coin,  which  they 
carrx-  on  their  backs  through  the  streets  in  sacks. 
without  any  guard  or  surveillance,  offers  a  curious 
sight-  There  Is  also  a  section  of  porters  who  per-

from  the  interior.  He  frequently  stays  for  years  in 
the  city,  living  xrith  great  economy,  aavlng  his 
money  to  go  home  :  when,  after  d  welling  with  his 
wife  and  family  for  a  year  or  two,  he  returns  to  his 
vocation  at  Constantinoole.  hoping  ultimately  to  set- 
tle permanently  in  his  birthplace  when  overtaken  by 
years.  The  frucallty  of  the  porters  Is  proverbial-^ 
bread,  olives,  cheese,  onions,  and  salad  aro  their 
staple  food.  It  is  ordy  on  the  celebration  of  some 
holy  festival  that  thev  indulge  in  strong  drinks  to 
excess.  '  It  is  doubtful,  however."  writes  Sir  Philip 
Francis,  '  if  the  occupation  of  the  street  hamal  is 
healthy.  Tho  strength  in  some  of  their  limbs  and 
certain  sets  of  muscles  is  enormoua.  so  much  so  as  to 
affect  the  sjTumetry  and  proportions  of  the  men,  and"

The  platform  ftdopt«d  by  the  Vlri^fHa  Ooa 

servstlve  State  Conventiou  In  Richmond  on  fUdsyti 
as  follows : 

Wlttrea;  The  good  people  of  the  State  of  Wg- 
cinia,  represented  by  the  Conservative  I^rtv,  have 
been  greatly  concerned  and  agitated  by  representa- 
tions ami  misrepresentations  as  to  what  would 
bo  the  probable  action  of  this  convention  upon 
the  subject  of  the  State  debt,  and  it  has  be- 
come vitally  Important  to  the  preservation  of 
the  int^p^ty  and  harmony  of  the  party  that  an  au- 
thoritative expression  at  opinion  should  be  promol- 
gnt*d  upon  that  Question ;  and,  whereas,  tht-  futuiw 
welfare,  power,  ana  prf«perity  of  this  Commonwealth 
depend  upon  the  eoiiTinu'*d  existence  and  cohesion  of 
of  the  Cooservstive  Party  ;  now,  therefore,  bo  it  re-

past  glorious  history  of  Alrgftnla.  and  prond  of  her 
good  name  and  fame  among  the  nations  of  tho  earth, 
would  scorn  to  repudiate  her  just  obligations,  and  ar** 
resolved  to  preserve  inviolate  the  public  faith  and 
credit,  yet  we  cannot  but  view  with  concf-m  and 
anxiety  the  accumolstion  uf  our  financial  diflicoltles 
and  the  increafiiiig  wei^t  of  our  public  debt.  Wc. 
therefore,  eame-ttly  urge  upon  th*  legislative  and

was  bom  in  Winchester,  and  is  in  his  fiftieth  year. 
He  is  a  graduate  of  Yale,  and  al«o  a  gradttate  of*  law 
of  the  University  of  Virginia.  He  was  omtor  of  the 
Jefferson  Society  while  a  fitudent,  and  was  subse- 
quently C-ommon  wealth  Attorney  up  to  IKGO.  H« 
commanded  tlio  Tliirty-thini  Kegiincnt,  and 
lost  .  an  arm  at  Ck-dar  Mountain.  -  He 
was  recommended  by  Stonewall  Jackson 
for  tho  rank  of  Brigadier-tTcneral  but 
was  unable  to  accept  the  honor,  because  his  arm  had

opposed  to  repudiation.  I  would  not  have  such  a 
stigma  cast  upon  ray  State  any  more  than  I 
would  upon  my  private  lame.  But  while  I  am 
thus  opposed  to  repudiation,  for  the  same  gnji- 
eml  reason  I  am  in  favor  of  some  speedy  settle- 
ment of  the  debt  honorable  to  our  ^tatQ 
and  satisfactory  to  the  creditors.  This  is  important. 
and  prcssingly  so  :  Ifoi-au-se  the  debt  is  increa.-'ing  by 
reason  of  interest,  and  because  I  believe  so  boon  ai 
we  indicate  a  willingne.<ie  and  ability  to  pay  the  in- 
terest promptly  our  bonds  wtII  at  once  go  to  par  and 
capital  and  population  flow  intf>  onr  borders.  .AnJ 
never  till  then-  Neither  is  coming  to  a  bankrupt 
or  a  dishonest  Commonwealth.  And  for  thi«  sam'? 
general  reason  I.  of  course,  do  not  wish,  any  more 
than  any  one  el&c.  heavy  taxes ;  for  they.  ttw.  prevent 
the  advent  of  capital  and  hilmr  to  our  midst.  And 
while  I  am.  as  the  Constitntifin  require.*!,  ii^  favor  of 
a  unifonn  rate.  1  am  in  favor  of  soeking  new  sul*- 
jects  instead  of  heaping  bunlcns  upon  the  landed  in- 
terest, oat  of  which  at  last  all  oar  wealth  and  pros, 
perity  must  grow.  We  all  liave  hope  that  this  will 
be  done.  The  State  has  improved  much,  consider- 
ing her  many  trials — done  wonders  since  the  war— 
and  a  bright  future  is  before  us  if  we  are  true  to  our 
selves  and  to  her."*

MR.  LAMAR  CRITICISED.  ^^ 

The  Natchez  (Miss.)  Democrat  expresaifre^ 
gret  ^lat  Hon.  L.  Q.  C  tismar  iu  some  measure  lost 
his  hold  upon  the  respect  and  confidence  of  n^y  o< 
the  delegates  in  the  late  Mississippi  Democrstic  State 
Convention  by  the  active  part  which  he  took  in  th* 
xuatter  of  nominations,  and  the  esmestneas  with 
which  he  entered  into  the  local  political  affairs  of  tht 
State.  The  iVmocrxU  thinks  that  '*the  position  ni 
United  Sta  tes  Senator  is  one  which  should  place  the 
Incumbent  above  the  turmoil  of  local  or  State  pol  iii-

SEBSiBST  SPElfCSE'S  PSUfCIPtES  OF 

SOCIOLOGY. 
THJ  PEKCIPLES  OP   80CI0U)0T.     By  HxRam 
V^S*\^°^  I-    New-York:    D.  Arruam  A   Co. 
1871.    12fflo,  pp.  738. 

Herbert  Spencer  has  now  rather  more 
than  half  completod  the  system  o£  synthetio 
philosophy  which  has  bean  slowly  growing 
under  his  hand  during  the  last  17  years.  He 
began  with  the  purpose  of  applying  the  law  of 
BTolutlon,  then  nowly  attracting  the  atten- 
tion of  scientlflc  man,  to  the  whole  field 
of  the  kaowable.  He  has  teemed  to 
sueeeed  tb  M.  Comta  aa  an  original 
student  of  philosophy,  as  an  investigator 
at  the  laws  of  phenomena,  as  an  Introdaeer  of 
•cientiflc  method  and  analysis  into  depMrtments 
of  thought  ai^d  life  hitherto  subjected  to  differ- 
ent treatment,  without  any  servile  folio  wing  of 
M.  Comte's  peculiar  system.  The  recognition 
of  his  position  as  a  thinker  has  been  quicker  in 
this  eoontry  than  in  England.  Even  now  there 
Is  hardly,  any  large  recognition,  by  the  conserv- 
ative English  journals,  of  the  substantial  merits 
of  his  philosophy,  and  those  who  favor  his 
methods  often  declaim  against  his  supposed 
opinions.  But  he  may  be  safely  left  to  gain  his 
own  audience.  It  is  evident  that  he  is  rapidly 
winning  the  younger  students  of  .philo- 
sophy, and  his  merits  as  a  thinker 
are  such  that  every  one  must  be 
acquainted  with  his  system  who  wishes  to  under- 
stand the  thought  of  the  age.  His  strength  is 
In  his  generalliatious,  in  his  capacity  to  rise 
trojxx  facts  to  the  principles  which  rule  them, 
and  in  his  encydopsaic  knowledge  of  man  and 
of  organic  life.  While  many  may  yet  be  un- 
willing to  become  his  disciples,  no  one  can  read 
his  pages  without  admiring  the  wonderful  grasp 
of  first  principles  and  of  the  illustrative  facts 
which  explain  them.  And  if  some  of  ills  induc- 
tions undermine  or  overthrow  or  supersede  any 
religious  opinions  which  have  come  to 
cany  weight  as  convictions,  bo  much 
the  worse  for  the  convictions.  It  cannot 
be  that  essential  truth  will  be  injured'  by  this 
process,  because  God  and  nature  must  always 
agree  in  the  last  analysis,  and  the  mast  which 
Mr.  Spencer  can  do  is  to  apply  scieutlQa  tests  to 
received  opinions,  and  thus  show  what  they  are

change  and  become  complex  as  socletlesi  pro- 
gress in  aise  and  stractore.  This  istheslplplest 
analysis  of  sociology,  and  a  broad  ontUne  of 
Mr.  Spencer's  scheme.  I 

What  i.^  most  important  and  precedes  all 
other  inquiries  aro  the  primary  data  common  to 
social  phenomena,  the  data  most  readily  (Hatin- 
grnlshed  in  the  simplest  societies,  and  including 
the  orlgiinal  external  and  internal  eo-opemting 
canaea.  Great  space  is  given  to  the  attempt  to 
put  together  the  pre-hist^ric  condition  of  prlmi- 
tire  society.  The  ©nTiPonment,  or  esrtjemal 
factert,  is  almost  purely  a  matter  of  conjeQtnre, 
but  the  physicul,  emotional,  and  intellectual 
character  of  the  earliest  race  of  men  can  b0  esti- 
mated with-compixative  accuracy,  and  the  |same 
may  be  done  for  their  first  ideas  of  the  *orld 
without  and  within.  But  it  is  impossibile  to 
ascertein  the  principles  of  conduct  which  ^led 
primitive  life  because  i  we  cannot  a.«c4rtain 
the  primitive  system  Of  ihought.  Mr.  Spfeucer 
believes  that  it  is  ponsible  to  reconstruct  primi- 
tive life  so  f&r  as  it  relates  to  the  growth  of 
ideas,  and  this  is  one  of  the  most  ingeniou^  and 
instructive  portions  of  his  work.  We  cinnot 
even  give  a  synopsis  of  it  because  the  djetails 
are  too  j^^at.  It  is  tho  same  field  which  Mr.  E. 
B.  Trior  and  Sir  John  Lubbock  have  cultiirated 
with  distinguished  fluccess,  and  in  which  all 
three  are  students  of  the  same  facts.  He  traces 
the  primitive  ideas  of  insensibility,  death,  and 
the  ghost,  from  their  beginning  in  curl  first 
contact  with  life  to  the  developing  ideas  of 
another  world  and  another  life,  and  to  the  ideas 
of  snpernatural  agents  as  existing  on  all  sides. 
The  step  from  this  to  religious  beliefs  and  to  the 
earliest  attempts  at  reli^ous  worship  is  di^^^t 
and  plain.  The  belief  in  ghosts,  an  a 
reviving  other-self,  is  fundamental  apiong 
savage  people,  but  hardly  less  widely  spread  is 
the  belief  in  an cestbr- worship,  and,  as  growing 
out  of  this,  the  belief  in  idolatry  and  fetichism. 
The  belief  in  the  transformation  of  men  into 
animals  and  of  animals  into  men  easily  arises 
from  the  metamorphose^  which  Oome  under  the 
notice  of  savages.  Plant-worship  and  nature- 
worship  are  equallv  deviations  from  th^  wor- 
ship or  ancestors.  Into  this  part  of  hisfwork 
Mr.  Spencer  incorporates  the  views  of  PE*rof. 
Milller  concerning  the  Sun-myths,  as  in  [treat- 
ing the  various  forms  of  animism  he  coincides 
maonly  with  Mr.  Tylor,  between  whom  ana  him- 
self there  is  at  this  moment  a  controjrersy 
ragingastowhoftrst  put  forth  the  cnrront  views 
of  what  relieion  is  among  savages.  There  fe  still 
more  to  be  said  in  regard  to  ancestor-workhip. 
Tho  identification  of  the  superior  with  ttje  ai- 
rine  leads  to  the  expausiion  and  idealization  of 
the  human  personality  until  the  superior' man 
in  the  tribe  becomes  its  deity,  and  after  death 
is  worshiped  as  such.  This  explains  the  ^rigin 
of  tho  Aryan  and  early  Greek  gods,  and  of  the 
Scandinavian  mythology.      Mr.  Spencer  holdly 


worth.    This  is  the  mission  which  he  Is  accom-  ___  __  _ 

pushing  at  this  moment.     He  has  broadened  thtf-s  identifies  Abrah&m'ft  views  of  God  as  a  superior 
basis  of  our  knowledge  of  law  and  of  life.     He\    ^^'^  -^^'^  *^^  various  Semitic  beliefs  t^hich 


has  felt  his  way  dowu  to  fundamental  facts. 
He  has  had  the  courage  of  his  opinions  and 
dared  to  reach  the  conclusions  to  which  the 
facts  seemed  to  point.  All  this  was  apparent 
in  his  I^rst  Principles,  but  is  no  less  distinctly 
aeen  in  his  I*rinciples  of  JSiologij.  and  PrincipUs 
of  Psyehologyj.  No  p^ious  philosophical  writer 
has  to  the  same  extent  laid  the  whole  material 
and  organic  universe  under  contribution,  and 
attempted  to  set  In  order  the  laws  of  develop- 
ment by  which  mankind  have  reached  their 
present  position. 

The  boldness  of  the  synthetic  philosophy  is 
not  more  marked  than  its  independence  of 
philosophical  traditions.  It  is  the  scientific 
rather  than  the  metaphysical  method  which  is 
employed.    Mr.  Spencer  look.s  at  his  subject  as 


have  been  collected  tosethor  in  his  Deimpti  _ 
Sociology,  and  shows  that  anthropomorphic  in 
the  Deity  has  always  been  the  prevailing  Ik'lief, 
even  among  civilized  people,  down  to  a  late  day. 
A  human  personality  has  been  behind  every 
form  of  religion  known  to  man  iu  primitive 
days.  "  Using  tho  phrase  ancestoivwor^hipf" 
says  Mr.  Spencer.  **  iit  ltd  T>roatlest  .seq.s4f.  iis 
comprehending  all  worship  of  the  dead,  be  ihey 
of  the  same  blood  or  not,  we  eouclude  thtjt  an- 
cestor-worship is  the  root  of  every  religion." 

Before  any*  criticism  is  pa.ssed  uponj  this 
imaginative  recoixstruction  of  primitive  SOTiety, 
we  must  remember  that  the  author  is  not  pyiu^ 
purposely  in  the  face  of  e-^tablished  belieffe,  but 
that  ho  is  honestly  trying  to  explain  that  society 
bv  a  reasonable  method  and  under  the  guiuance 
or  such  facts  as  can  be  ascertained.  Whatever 
xcx&j  be  said  iu  re;;ard  to  particular  points,  thia 
must  be  acknowlc-dited.  that  it  is  the  most  im- 
portant contribiitiou  to  a  theory  of  priijiitive 
ideas,  and  especially  of  religiuua  ideas,  whidh  has 


a  modem  man.     1^  be  sure,  his  principles  have     ^;et  appeared.     "Wo  do  not  see  how  in  auy  [point 


been  gathered  to  some  extent  from  other 
writers.  The  law  of  organic  development,  that 
•'  evolution  is  always  from  the  homogeneous  to 
the  heterogeneous,  and  from  the  simple  to  the 
complex,"  had  been  enunciated  by  Goethe, 
Schelling,  and  Von  Baer,  before  Mr.  Spencer's 
time,  but  its  application,  as  the  law  of  evolution, 
to  all  phenomena  relating  to  life  on  tho  earth 
ha»  been  his  own  contribution  to  philosophv. 
Other  subordinate  principles  had  been  devel- 
oped by  single  students,  but  Mr.  Spencer  has 
been  the  first  to  weld  them  into  an  organic  s)*3- 
tem  of  thought.  In  working  out  his  conclu- 
fiiona  from  these  principles,  as  he  will  in  sulrae- 
qoent  volumes  of  his  Principles  of  Sociology  and 
la  the  Principlt*  of  Morality^  he  will  probably 
impair,  if  not  dei«troy,  many  religious  and  intel- 
lectual systems  which  are  based  upon  tho  partial 
Interpretation  of  facts;  but  we  hold  that  we  can 
well  afTord  to  submit  to  considerable  disturbance 
of  our  cherished  convictions  when  God  lets 
loose  a  genuine  thinker  on  this  planet,  and  that 
nobody  need  be  in  the  least  disturbed  at  the 
final  result.  The  time  has  amply  come  when 
Mr.  Spencer  is  not  to  be  condemned  because  he 
opposes  conventional  notions,  but  honestly  or 
fairly  judged  for  what  he  has  contributed  to  the 
larger  range  of  reasonable  thought.  He  has  al- 
ready considerably  changed  our  methods  of  ed- 
ucation. Many  of  hi:^  essays  have  clearly  enun- 
ciated- special  laws  of  thought  or  of  life  which 
have  already  been  generally  accepted,  and  the 
principles,  both  general  and  specific,  which 
a»  has  set  forth,  are  rapidly  gain- 
ing acceptance,  because  they  furnish  the  acien- 
tinc  reason  or  explanation  of  phenomena.  His 
writings  have  somewhat  shirted  the  position 
from  which  we  look  at  current  events.  It  is 
the  return  to  nature  in  philosophy  and  the  at- 
tempt to  study  nature  freshly  and.,  scientifically 
which  he  constantly  insists  upon ;  aiid  this  is 
the  direction  in  which  advances  must  be  made 
if  we  are  to  progre.ss  in  the  discovery  of  tnitlis 
or  obtain  fresh  illustrations  of  general  lawa. 
It  ia  the  hopefulness  of  his  philosophy  which 
has  specially  attracted  our  attention.  It  en- 
lai^es  the  meaning  of  present  life,  and  shows 
how  its  quality  may  be  improved.  It  pre- 
aenta  the  two  methods  by  which  we 
may  gaixv  knowledge  that  is  reasonably  exact. 
It  iiK^udes  the  knowledge  which  has  come  from 

"-  physiological  and  psychological  studies.  It  in- 
terprets the  laws  of  life  as  they  practically  exist 
It  u  a  matter  of  Uttle  concerh  whether  the  re- 
sults reached  a^ree  with  the  formula}  of  this  or 
that  system  or  theology,  because  theology  is 
very  largely  the  addition  of  human  .speculations 
to  the  simple  truths  of  religion :  but  it  is  a  mat- 
ter of  infinite  concern  that  Mr.  Spencer's  secular 
method  of  observing  and  co-ordinating  facts 
shaUnotbe  impaired  by  any  theological  narrow- 
ness. The  whole  question  of  evolution  need 
not  militate  against  the  principal  points  of  re- 
ligious belief  in  the  least.  Tho  antagonism 
between  science  and  religion  is  chiefly  the  an- 
tagonism between  imperfect  believers  in  both. 
It  will  be.  found  when  the  smoke  of  controversy 
has  cleared  away  that  Mr.  Spencer  has  .dimply 
been  clearing  away  the  many  confused  opinions 
by  aacertainlng  with  scientific  accuracy  the 
exact  knowledge  which  may  be  reacheil  on  differ- 
ent points.  It  is  the  hasty  generalizations  of 
students  of  religion  and  the  infidel  cry  which 
alazmista  raise  that  hav^  sadly  interfered  with 
}l&.  Spencer's  work,  and  cause  many  at  the 
present  time  to  look  upon  it  with  su.s- 
picion.  Yet  it  is  expresalv-  stated  for 
nim  that  tho  objectionable  views  once  put 
forth  in  his  Social  Statics  have  been 
withdrawn,  and  that  he  is  as  earnest  and  con- 
sdentions  a  seeker  for  the  truth  as  auy  other 
man.  That  one  can  be  an  evolutioniwb^n  the 
scientifio  sense  of  that  law,  (which  is  tho  only 
sense  authorized,)  and  still  hold  to  a  definite  and 
orthodox  crfce<l.  Is  bcginniog  to  be  generally  un- 
derstood ;  and  that  Mr.  Spencer  has  worked  on 
with  unflagging  industcy  during  all  these  years, 
when  the  theological  clamor  has  beeu  much 
louder  than  it  is  at  present,  and  has  not  swerved 
from  his  convictions,  is  the  crowning  evidence 
of  the  sincerity  and  strength  of  his  convictions. 
Bnt  we  have  too  long  stood  at  the  threshold 
of  his  latest  book,  clearing  the  way  for  its  ap- 
preciative reception.  After  a  statement  of  the, 
leading  generalizations  which  naturalists,  physi- 
ologists, and  comparative  anatomists  have  es- 
f^hTiahtvi  and  after  treating  the  general  con- 
nections of  mind  and  life,  and  their  relations  to 
other  modes  of  the  unknowable,  Mr.  Spencer 
applies  the  law  of  evolution  to  the  science  of 
socie^,  to  living  beings  considereil  as  aggre- 
gates. This  science,  according  to  Prof.  Huxley, 
"  deals  with  the  relation  of  living  beings  ono  to 
another — the  science  which  observes  men — 
whose  experiments  are  made  by  nations  one 
upon  another  in  battle-fields,  whose  general 
propositions  are  eijAbodied  in  history',  morality, 
ana  rcdigion,  whoso  deductions  lead  to  our  hap- 
piness or  miaery,  and  whose  verifications  so 
often  come  too  late,  and  serve  only 

•To  poiiU  a  moral  or  adorn  a  tale.*  " 
This  is  a  broad  statement  of  the  field  which 
Mr.  Spencer  covers,  though  the  present  vol- 
ozne  onJy  introdnoea  the  subject,  and  is  chiefiy 
ooan;^da  with  the  data  of  sociology,  its  induc- 
tions,  and  the  domestio  relations.  He  calls  the 
work  here  begun  super-organic  evolution,  in 
contrast  to  what,  In  nis  previous  volumes,  is 
e^Jl^^  organic  evolution,  and  confines  himself 
to  tiiat  form  of  it  which  human  societies  ex- 
hibtt  Iu  growths,  structures,  functions,  and 
products.  Among  the  factors  of  social  phenom- 
ena, hs  introduces  tim  progressive  modifications

religious  belief,  which  restK  u^jon  difTerenlj  lines 
of  evidence  from  those  which  Mr.  Spencer  fol- 
lows, need  bo  weakened  or  interfered  witp. .  It 
is  simply,  to  a  great  extent,  a  speeulali\]e  and 
tentative  inquiry,  the  attempt  to  re<luce  i  vast 
amount  of  information  to  its  proper  placebs  uo 
illustration  of  the  ideas  and  system  of  life  ajrnoug 
the  earliest  peoples.  It  i-^  also  the  necdssary 
starting-point  for  society  us  an  organi-sni.  The 
law  of  evolutiun  is  as  clearly  illustrated  :  n  the 
tracing  of  tho  data  of  sociology  as  by  any  other 
natural  process.  Tho  simple  increaio  of 
mass  is  the  first  step  in  integriitiou, 
and  along  with  this  increaso  of  mass 
goes  increase  of  coherence.  "The  sui  erati- 
tions  of  the  primitive  man  are  loose  and  incon- 
sistent; different  members  of  a  tribe  mak^  dif- 
ferent statements,  and  the  ^ame  individual  va- 
ries in  his  interpretations  as  occasion  sug  a^ests. 
Bnt  in  the  coxirse  of  time  the  beliefs  are  Elabo- 
rated into  a  well-knit  system."  The  ghost  theory, 
at  first  limited  to  anomalous  occurreuceM,  i  •'  ex- 
tends itself  to  all  phenomena.  The  propjerties 
and  actions  of  surrounding  things,  as  well  as 
the  thoughts  and  feelings  of  men,  are  ascribed 
to  unseen  beings,  who  thus  constitute  a!  com- 
bined mechanism  of  causation.''  By  a  process 
of  continuous  Integration  and  differentiation 
the  beliefs  whicli  grow  out  of  these  supersli- 
tions  are  formed  into  an  aggrefirate  which.hvhile 
increasing,  passes  out  of  a  loose  and  indefinite 
shape  into  a  deflnite  and  fixed  belief  with  hiany 
applications.  Thus  the  theory  of  the  Ct^mo"*, 
beginning  with  titful  ghost  agency  and  eliding 
with  the  orderly  action  of  a  uuiversal  Unkjiown 
Power,  exeraplirtes  the  law  of  evolulioi^  ful- 
filled by  the  sevenil  ascendiug  transformations. 
The  gra.sp  of  detail  which  is  illustrated  ju  tho 
earlier  part  of  the  work  is  equally  e^ndentjwheu 
Mr.  Spencer  passes  to  tlie  inductions  of  so- 
ciology. This  new  science  has  to  give  an  ac- 
count of  aH  the  phenomena  that  result  from 
the  combined  actions  of  the  early  acquired 
ideas  and  correlative  feelings  which  hajre  al- 
ready bet^  noticed.  The  next  step  is  the  pro- 
ceaa  bjywhich  successive  generations  of  [units 
are  produced,  reared,  and  brought  into  filtness 
for  co-operation.  The  development  of  the  ftmily 
stands  next  in  order,  and  the  respective  \  ways 
by  which  the  fostering  of  offspring  is  infiujenced 
by  promiscuity,  polyandry,  polygyny,  i  and 
monogamy  are  developed  iu  the  concluding  por- 
tion of  the  volume.  The  result*;  of  exogamous 
audeudogamous  marriage,  terms  borrowed  from 
botany,  are  here  considered,  and  the  pi|esent 
portion  of  the  treatise  ends  with  the  treatment 
of  tho  family  as  a  fundamental  social  factOr. 

The  portion  yet  to  be  published  will  iijvolve 
points  of  more  practical  interest,  and  will  tax 
Sir.  Spencer's  powers  to  the  utmost.  In  his 
view,  sociology  is  to  explain  the  rise  and  pevel- 
oj)ment  of  political  organization  as  it  combines 
tribes  for  action,  or  restrains  them  in  dealings 
with  one  another  or  with  themselves.  This  in- 
cludes all  the  institutions  of  civil  govern- 
ment, and  the  other  governmental  institutions, 
ecclesiastical  and  ceremonial,  simultaneously 
developing.  The  evolutioH  of  ecclesiastical 
structures  and  functions,  the  control  enit^died 
in  ceremonial  observances,  the  regulative  and 
operativ«^i visions  of  society,  the  kind  oft  gov- 
ernment which  keeps  iu  balance  the  actilvities 
of  the  various  industrial  structures,  the  separa- 
tion of  the  distributive  from  the  productiw  sys- 
tem, the  advances  of  the  industrial  arts  them- 
selves, the  higher  structures  and  functions 
which  belong  to  society,  and  finally  the  (inter- 
dependence of  structures  and  functions  anid  pro- 
ducts taken  intheir  totality,  are  yet  to  be  trpated, 
and  thus  far  the  way  is  barely  prepared  for  them. 
In  correlating  the  facts  of  sociologj',  Mr. 
Spencer  enters  into  an  elaborate  paralieJiijn  be- 
tween the  animal  and  the  social  organisio.  and 
applies  the  law  of  evolution  to  the  social  struc- 
ture as  he  has  previously  applied  it  to  thti  vari- 
ous forms  of  animal  life.  He  traces  jsocial 
growths  as  physiologists  trace  the  development 
of  cerebral  cells.  The  same  general  law  is  found 
in  the  sustaining,  tlistributing,  and  regulating 
system  of  the  »ot;ial  organism.  He  divid^  so^ 
cieties  into  simple,  compound,  and  doubW-  com- 
pound, or,  to  follow  the  law  of  social  evolution, 
into  small  simple  aggregates,  the  clustering 
of  these  into  larger  aggregates,  and  then  the 
union  of  these  clusters  with  others  like  them- 
selves to  form  still  larger  aggregates.  [  This 
law  is  easily  verified  by  observing  the  ^Itera- 
tions  of  social  structures  that  follow  alterations 
of  social  activities.  Mr.  Spencer  brin^  a  large 
variety  of  facts  to  prove  that  this  social 
evolution  is  a  pai  t  of  evolution  at 
large ;  that  like  evolving  aggregates  in  gejieral, 
societies  show  integration  iioth  by  simple  in- 
crease of  mass  and  by  coalescence  and  ]^e-coa- 
lescence  of  masses,  and  i  then  the  changq  from 
homogeneity  to  heterogeneity.  In  studyli|g  the 
domestic  relations,  it  is  fiirther  evident  that  the 
regular  relations  of  the  sexes  are  the  resists  of 
evolution,  and  that  thoj  sentiments  upholding 
them  have  been  gradually  established.  MK  Mc- 
Xjennan,  no  less  than  Mr.  Spencer,  is  an  oiiginal 
iuvesti^tor  into  the  character  of  tho  ^mily 
and  the  development  of  blood-relationships,  and 
here  Mr.  Spencer  becomes  controversial  iu 
maintaining  that  Mr.  McLennan  claims  tooimuch 
for  his  well-known  principle  that  the  priijaitive 
form  of  marriage  was  by  capturing  the  women 
of  neighboring  or  hostile  tribes.  Sir  l^enry 
Maine  enters  into  this  controversy,  and  in 
the  event  the  actual  origin  of  tKo  customs 
which  have  produced  higher  social  types  by 
reaching  to  higher  types  of  the  sextxal  relations 
is  likely  to  be  better  understood.  The  Whole 
discussion  i»  deeply  interesting,  and  the  [  June 
Fortnightly  Jievieic  shows  that  thosQ  thre^  men 
are  sumulatit^  ono  another  to  friendly  com- 
parison of  opinions  and  facts  until  they  shall 
have  revealed  aU  that  can  be  known  scljbiltifi- 
callv  of  the  origin  and  growth  of  the  domestie

growing  InnAte  in  the  civilized  man,  and  that 
aU  the  Ideas  and  sentiments  which  have  become 
associated  with  marriage  imply  the  singleness 
of  this  tmion.  In  the  final  chapters  on  the  evo- 
lution of  the  family  which  have  appeared  in  the 
June  and  July  numbers  of  the  Science  Monthly, 
however,  he  jnstly  remarks  that  the  wave  of 
change  has,  at  the  present,  largely  substituted 
the  relations  of  social  for  those  of  domestic  life, 
that  the  State  has,  to  a  considerable  degree, 
usurped  the  piLrental  functions  in  respect  of 
children,  and  that  this  excess  of  family  disinte- 
gration la  likely  to  be  f  oUowed  by  partial  rein- 
tegration. 

It  is  impossible  within  the  limits  of  a  review 
to  give  any  satisfactory  synopsis  of  a  work  which 
is  compact  with  condensed  and  exact  writing, 
but  we  have  briefly  indicated  the  value  of  this 
treatise  as  a  statement  of  the  fundamental  laws 
of  society  as  an  organism  and  as  a  basis  for  the 
social  science  which  is  rapidly  becoming  one  of 
the  marked  features  of  current  thought  It 
would  require  space  almost  as  ample  as  the  v>I- 
ume  itself  if  we  attempted  to  justify  any  criti- 
cisms which  we  wished  to  offer,  and  when  the 
effort  is  so  manifest  as  it  is  here  to  make  the  way 
plain  to  the  proper  rehabilitation  of  primitive 
society,  and  to  answer  generally  and  specifically 
ten  thousand  questions  which  every  one  desires 
to  ask,  we  prefer  to  commend  the  clearness  of 
statement,  the  fldelity  to  principles,  the  patient 
industry  in  collecting,  and  the  singular  skill  in 
using  facts,  and  the  excellence  of  a  style  which, 
never  dull  or  obscure,  is  always  a  fit  vehicle  for 
the  expression  of  thought.  The  range  of  study 
included  even  In  this  work  is  marvelous,  and 
yet  the  same  compactness  and  thoroughness  is 
manifest  in  every  part.  It  is  a  book  which  will 
iiievitably  meet  with  more  popular  favor  than 
his  previous  volumes,  (always  excepting  his 
essays,)  because  it  is  less  within  the  lines  of  the 
exact  or  special  sciences,  and  it  also  furnishes 
an  excellent  illustration  of  the  law  of  evolution 
at  work  in  human  life.

and  18th,  to  the  ninth'  anuoal  regatta  of-tthe 
Northwestern  Amateur  Rowing  Association. 
The  races  will  take  placo  on  the  Detroit  River,  oppo-

Fouri  months  ago  Capt.  BaranofF^  of  the  Im- 
perial Rnaaian.  Xavy,  pnblished  a  remarliable  article 
in  the  Oolos  upon  the  late  Mr.  Elder's  circnlar 
vttSMls  I  and  the  advantage  \o  be  derived 
by  his  leountry  from  iron-elads.  After  attribntlng 
to  tho  late  Mr.  Elder  the  merit,  of  the  original  in- 
vention—an  admission  ;the  partisans  of  Admiral 
Popoff  had  been  hitherto  nomerous  enough  to  re- 
press ih  Russia— Capt.  Baranoft  went  on  to  say  that 
Russia,  in  hisiopinlou,  required  no  Iron-clads  stall, 
neither  !eir<iul|w  nor  obldng.  According  to  him  it  had 
been  absolutely  proved  m  the  CMmcan  War  that 
however  strong  in  themselves,  ships  will  always  suc- 
cumb to  the  heavier  artillery  that  may  be  brought  to 
bear  upon  them  from  the  shore.  Aa  regards  com- 
bat on  the  high  seas,  he  was  likewise  in- 
clined to  tliink  that  the  most  powerful  cuirass 
had'  no  chance  against  the  still  more  powerful 
artillery  Ruro  to  fall  foul  of  it.  Carrying  this  argu- 
ment still  further,  ho  advised  Ms  Government  to 
abandon  the  construction  of  iron-clads,  avoid  naval 
battles,  and  confine  operations  at  sea  to  the  lotting 
loose  of  a  number  of  cruisers  agftin.st  the  enemy's 
merciiantmen.  These  cruisers  he  proposed  to  station 
chiefly  on  the  Pacific  shore  of  the  Russian  Empire, 
whence,  as  be  expressed  himself,  they  could  easily  be 
sent  to  manretivre  in  the  rear  of  any  enemy  likely  to 
be  opposed  tol  hla  country.  Those  naval  engagements 
that  oould  not  be  avoided  Capt.  Baranoflf  preferretl 
fighting  with  small  craft,  making  up  by  agility  and 
■peed  what  they  lacked  iii  ctiirass.  and  if  the  worst 
came  to  the  worst,  easily  replaced  by  other  specimens 
of  the  same  type.' 

This  article  having  been  much  noticed  at  the  time, 
the  author  soon  after  the  beginning  of  tho  present 
war,  was  given  to  understand  by  tho  Admiralty  that 
they  did  not  object  to  his  trj-ing  to  prove  by  deed 
what  he  had  so  eloquently  advocated  In  print.  Ac- 
cor^ngly.  a  Tew  weeks  ago,  the  morchaot  steamer 
Vesta  being  placed  at  the  disposal  of  tho  enterpris- 
ing officer,  wits  equipped  for  the  task  in  hand.  The 
Vesta  is  an  ordinary  Iron  steamer  of  light  build, 
till  then  employed  in  no  more  warlike  fanction 
than  the  conveyance  of  com  and  tallow  from 
Ruaaiau  to  forel^  shores.  Yet,  all  the  preparation 
Capt.  Baronoff  tnought  necessary  was  to  take  some 
6-ineh  mortar*  on  brard,  to  receive  which  the  deck  of 
the  steamer  had  to  be  strengthened.  Thus  slightly 
armed  he  left  Sebastopol  on  the  21st  inst.,  at  dawn, 
and  on  the  morning  of  the  23d,  35  milea  from  Kus- 
tendje,  fell  iu  with  the  Turkish  iron-clad  Assari 
TefVlk,  a  formidable  veasel  with  a  12-inch  cuirass 
and  the--  proper  complement  of  O-inch  guns  of  12 
ton  weight.  |  What  made  the  Turk  an  espe- 
ciaU  tembl^  adversary  was  a  speed  of  JO 
knots  an  hour.  Xotliing  daunted  b)'  the  dispropor- 
'  tion  in  size  and  strength.  Captain  BaranoflT  fngaged 
the  Assari  Taf%'ik  without  hesitation,  and  with  a  akill 
and  bravery  worthy  of  his  printed  prophecies,  main- 
tained the  nght  for  five  bours.  As  far  as  can  l>e 
gathered  from  the  insufficleut  inteliigenc-o  nlreaily 
received,  the  A' esta's  superior  mantuuviiug  rapaL-ily 
effectually  kept  the  Turk  in  check,  tuough  the 
dUtant:e  beti|reen  the  two  vessels  was  vepeatedly 
lessened  to  the  spS'X' required  for  a  telling  nti«  tire. 
The  Assarn  Tefvik,  t*M>,  notwithstamliug  tho  tre- 
mendous thickness  of  her  armor,  thought  it  discreet 
to  keep  consljantly  moving  about  with  extraordin»ry 
alertness  and.  spceiL  At  least,  this  ia  the  fonctusiou 
drawn    fnun     the    fact    that    tho   Turkish   ve<sel 


in     a     tivo 


lionrs*      otn'ountor,      though      abun- 


dantly struck  by  small  shot,  received  ouly  three  of 
the  enemy'sl  llalls.  (hio  of  these  s<^t*nis  lo  have 
done  little  harm.  The  »e<'oud  shot  went  right 
through  the  deck,  kindling'  a  firw  which  was  quiekly 
eilingnisbiMl.  TIih  third  struck  the  turr»*l,  aud 
created  an  irapresjiioa  whioh,  had  nut  a  couple  of 
Turkish  vessHs  vome  to  the  r-'si-ue  of  thrir  com- 
rade, might  have  given  the  Vi^sta  an  opportunity 
to  do  more,  though  crippled  h'-rself.  by  tiiat  time. 
Tbe  Vesta,  in  thi-  roarne  of  the  conllict  1i:hI  been 
hit  by  a  grenade  cloye  to  the  powder  magazine,  and 
had  it  not  been  for  the  rnpiti  measures  taken  by  her 
comraauder.  would  assuredly  have  Iwen  blown  up. 
Worse  ttuui  this,  her  rudder  Wing  struck,  the  vessel 
could  not  nraperly  obey  the  helm — a  sorious  draw- 
hack  in  a  flghl  in  which  safety  mainly  depended  upon 
Cfieritv.  liespitt;  this,  Capt.  Bnrauofl"  uianage^l 
to  hold  his  own  until,  on  tht-  two  other 
vessels  coming  to  tho  assistance  of  the  ene- 
my, he  veryi  wisfly  deemed  discretion  the  better 
part  of  valor  and  beat  a  retreat.  At  this  juncture 
the  Turks,  pouring  their  shot  into  tHeir  departing  ad- 
VLTsarj",  intiifttcd  no  little  damage,  without,  lio-iever, 
clt  sely  following  up  their  success.  At  dawn  of  tho 
2^th.  the  Rallant  steamer  cast  anchor  again  at  .Sebii"- 
topol,  seriously  injured,  yet  covered  with  glor>'.  Of 
thu  orew  threU  oiUcers  and  11  men  were  killed,  two 
officers  and  four  mon  seriously  wounded,  and  threo 
officers  and  11  men  slightly  wounded.  Amon"  the 
last  are  Capt.  Baranoff  and  Si,  Vladimir  Pendfschine. 
his  First  Lieutenant.  In  fact,  scarcely  auy  escaped 
unscathed.     | 

Thtt  seuaati,on  created  by  this  encounter  bt^tween 
a  giunt  and  a  jdwarf  will  probably  uot  be  diminished 
bv  the  detailed  reports  which  have  yet  to  come  In. 
l/owever  clumsily  the  iron-clad  may 'have  been  man- 
aged, there  |ls  tho  fact  of  a  merchantman  flght- 
1^  her  for  five  hours,  and  Inflicting  aa  much  damage 
as  she  received.'

RUSSIAN    AKD    BRITISH     SOLDIERS     FIGHTIKG 
WITH  CLUBS  AXD  STOKES  IK  THE  STREETS 

OF  HOMCRA.  

The  Japan  Oiurtts  says  :  **  A  serious  fracas 
occurred  yesterday  evening.  (May-7,j  in  Homura, 
between  some  british  and  Russian  mon-ot'''.Tar'ii  men. 
It  appears  that  some  dozen  Russians  were  iu  the 
L'nion  saloon,  when  a  couple  of  British 'sailors  en- 
tered. Some  conversation  took  place  about  the 
present  war  between  Turkey  and  Russia,  the  upshot 
of  which  was  that  one  of  the  two  men  liail  a  tumbler 
thrown  at  his  head,  striking  aud  cutting  him 
on  the  forehead,  aud  both  he  and  his  com- 
paniou  were  speedily  ejected  from  the  house, 
but  the  fight  went  on  outside.  Some  more 
British  seamen  and  marines  appeariuij  on  the  spot, 
the  Russians  retreated  Into  the  house,  and  it  was 
thought  Uie  fight  was  ended.  Unfortunately  an  Eng- 
lish »eaman  was  walking  where  the  Rassiau&  were 
located,  aud  was  attacked  bv  live  or  sii  men.  His 
comrades  rallied,  and  an  ludiscriminute  fight  took 
place.  Again  tlwre  was  a  lull,  and  .residents  in  the 
neighborhood  hoped  the  mei^e  had  finally  ended. 
But  in  a  few  moments  about  40  Russians  appeared 
on  the  scene,  armed  with  staves  and  stones.  Catch- 
ing an  unfortunate  marine  by  himself,  tbey  at  once  set 
upon  him.  He  was  a  tall,  powerful  man.  and  succeeded 
in  knociting  down  sovenil  of  his  assailants  with  the 
hncklo  oml  of  his  belt,  but  was  eventually  knocked 
down  himself.  The  fight  had  now  become  general, 
for  the  Ru-ssians  attacked  all  wbr)  came  in  thi*ir  way, 
s«'ameu  or  civilian'*.  Thrf;e  Kren'-hmfii  wlio  wei-e 
standing  at  the  comer  of  the  Cafe  de  rL-nivtra  were 
knocked  down  ;  s-.-veral  civilians  wero  nttack>Hl  with 
sticks  and  Mtoues.  The  Police  had  by  this  time  ap- 
peared on  the  scone,  and  in  attempting  to  quell  the 
disturbance  were  severely  handled  by  the  Russians. 
A  civilian  parsing  by  and  observing  a  Russian  sailor 
about  to  strike  a  British  marine  with  a  large  club,  at- 
tempted to  wrest  the  weapon  away,  bnt  got  knocked 
down.  Another  byutander  saw  a  Russian  with  a 
drawn  knife  rush  madly  at  an  Englishman  to  plunge 
it  In  his  breast,  when  a  well-directed  bUiw 
from  his  fist  knocked  the  Russian  dowu.  Stones  and 
billets  of  wo4)d  were  fiyiug  about  la  all  directions. 
At  length  the  Russians  gave  way  and  ran  to  the 
hatoba,  where  their  ttoats  were  lying,  chased  by  the 
British  and  a  few  civilians.  They  rondo  a  stand  for 
a  few  momenta ;  but  their  officers,  who  had  just  come 
on  shore,  at  once  took  charge  of  them  into  the  boats 
and  sent  them  o£F  to  the  .ship.  Latr^r  tu  the  evening 
a  detachment  from  the  .\udacions  was  sent  on  shore 
to  seek  for  wouudod.  but.  finding  everj-thing  quiet, 
and  nona  of  their  comrades  severely  hurt,  soon  re- 
turned  on  board.  ■  The  affair  caused  quite  a  commo- 
tion in  the  settlement,  and  the  various  Cousute  ap- 
peared on  tho  spot  as  quickly  as  possible.  Oa~eTElus- 
siau  found  lying  in  the  road  was  put  into  a  jiurikisha 
and  conveyed  to  the  station.  Several  of  his  com- 
rades were  severely  wounded  and  taken  to  the  hos- 
pitaL" 

Jlfi^.  SRIGHTS  VIJSWS  OP  WAR  AXD  LABOR. 
The  IvondoD.  Ttmea  of  July  30  says:  "There 
was  an  occurrence  of  a  rather  novel  description  at 
Rochdale  on  Saturday  afternoon.  The  co-operators 
of  Leeds  and  Bradford  organized  a  special  trip  to 
Rochdale  for  the  porpose  of  inspecting  the  large 
central  co-operative  stores  iu  Toad-lane ;  but  the 
greatest  attraction  was  that  permission  hid  been 
obtained  from  Mr.  John  Bright  to  visit  his  gardens 
and  grounds  at  '  Gne  Ash, '  which  is  situated  on  the 
ontslorta  of  the  town.  The  groauds  are  larger 
than  might  bo  imagined  from  the  comparative- 
Jv  unpretending  exterior  of  the  establtshment. 
Tlie  landscape  gardener  has  certainly  exori!iHod  his 
ingenuity,  for  hill  and  dale  and  winding  walks  are 
very  prettily  represented  in  miniature.  Hiwing  at- 
tained -  the  highest  plateau,  the  excursionists  found 
themselves  in  close  proximity  to  the  hons^i.  the  ex- 
terior of  whicb  they  minutely  inspected.  The  stmc- 
tnre  is  an  extensive  bnlldlng  of  brick,  with  fine,  large 
bay  windows,  and  the  whole  has  a  neat  and  comforta- 
ble appearance.  Although  it  stands  Idgh  it  U  wf-U 
shaded  by  trees.  Mr.  Bright  mado  his  appearance 
amid  hearty  aud  prolonged  cheering.  Not- 
withstanding the  great  exertions  of  Mr.  Bright  at 
Bradf^nl  ou  the  previous  Wednesday,  ho  looked 
remarkably  well,  and  cheerfull.v*  welcomed 
his  guests,  hut  regretted  wliat  little  they 
saw  would  scarcely  repay  ^ihem  for  their  Journey. 
Mr.  Bright,  hearing  an  obser\-ation  with  respect  "to 
the  war  In  the  East,  remarked  that  no  class  of  per- 
sons had  greater  rea.son  to  be  in  favor  of  peace  than 
those  people  who  worked  for  weekly  wages.  There 
was  no  doubt  that  tlie  war  seriously  affected  trade, 
but  still,  it  would  be  worse  if  this  country  took  part 
in  it,  and  last  longer.  Ivwas  always  discovered  five 
or  ten  years  after  a  war  Riat  the  reason  had  not  been 
sufficient  for  the  aacriilce  of  life  and  tlie  waste  of 
money.  That  was  his  \iew  of  the  warn  that  had 
broken  oat  daring  his  lifetime.  Mr.  Wilberforce,  of 
Leeds,  expressed  the  thanks  of  the  party  to  Mr. 
Bright  for  kindly  allowing  them  to  visit  his  gronuds, 
aud  above  ail  for  addressing  them.  Mr.  John  Speed, 
in  seconding  the  vote  of  thanks,  referred  to  being  in 
London  at  a  meeting  in  184*2.  which  was  addressed 
by  Mr.  Bri^ihi,  Mr.  Oobden,  and  CoL  Thompson.  The 
resolution  was  carried  ananlmonsly  lunid  prolonced

that  the  ntunber  of  persons  In  distress  at  ihe  time  in

ing now  had  no  idea  of  the  widespr^d  niiserv  which 
eadsted  before  the  abolition  of  the  Ck»m  laws."  There 
were  three  bad  harvests  and  very  little  com.  and  the

A  picture  claiming  to  be  "  Gainsborough's  re-

exhibited  at  the  Byron  Gallery,  Kb.  26  Savile-row, 
which  resembles  very  closely  the  x>ortrait  that  became 
BO  notorious  last  year  when  sold  in  the  Wj-nn  Ellis

three  weeks  afterward  was  stolen  in  the  night  (May

to  its  solution  seems  to  be  derivable  from 
the  somewhat  .sudden  appearance  of  the  picture  now 
before  the  public,  which  is  e\'1dently  not  the 
same,  although  clearly  a  portrait  of  the  same  peraon. 
whether  she  be  the  beautiful  Gteorgiana,  Duchess  of 
Devonshire,  or  some  one  else.  The  canvas,  in  the 
first  place,  is  larger,  being  62  inches  high  by  46  inches 
wide,  while  that  of  the  missing  picture  was  59^ 
inches  high  by  45  inches  wide.  The  picture  has 
never  been  lined,  the  other  had  been.  This  picture 
is  very  much  cracked  all  over,  the  paint  being  ready 
almost  to  drop  off  in  some  places,  and  it  has  evidently 
peeled  off.  and  the  canvas  has  been  repainted,  besides 
being  also  repainted  or  toncbed  up  in 
parts  where  the  paint  has  not  fallen  off  the 
canvas.  The  lost  portrait  was  very  much  cracked, 
but,  having  been  lined,  these  cracks  did  not  give  the 
"  cackled  surface  which  this  picture  shows  all  over 
it,  and  which  Is  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  It  has 
been  rolled  up  and  unrolled  repeatedly,  according  to 
the  accotint  given  of  the  picture  by  thtj  owner,  who 
is  a  Mr.  John  Poster.  This  portrait,  like  the  missing 
one,  represents  a  handsome  ladv  with  full,  curly,  aud 
powdered  hair,  in  a  broad  black  hat  and  black  feathers, 
the  head  turned  three-quarters  to  the  right, 
with  the  eyes  directed  toward  the  spectator,  the  fig- 
ure seen  only  to  a  little  below  the  Inaees,  the  arms 
folded  at  the  waist,  showing  the  left  arm  and  hand 
only.  As  to  the  details,  there  is  the  same  red  rose  in. 
the  front  of  tho  dress,  but  she  holds  a  rosebud  also  : 
the  ample  blue  sash,  the  blue  ribbon  in  the  hat.  and 
the  paler  blue  petticoat  and  white  skirt  are  as  in  the 
lost  pirture.  There  are,  however,  certain  differences 
Which  will  be  remarked ;  the  complexion  is  not  so 
fforid,  and  the  lips  are  not  so  red  as  in  the  missinj; 
picture,  while  the  hand  ismucb  more  finished,  though 
certainly  U".*  likt*  the  facile  sketchy  work  of 
Gainsborough  than  in  the  other  picture. 
and  in  the  touching  of  the  lace  cuff 
there  is  obviously  recent  painting.  The  foliage 
of  the  backgniund  has  also  verv  little  of  tiie  Gains- 
borough character.  Remembering  the  great  differ- 
ence of  opinion  expressed  «■*  to  tJie  nntlicnticity  of 
the  missing  picture,  the  pretensions  of  tliis  p'irt'rait 
to  bo  the  ori;;inal  nf  whirii  that  was  a  rcpUca  iixv  very 
likely  to  be  equally  disputed  aud  ac<'opt<Kl.  IJotli 
pictures  lijtve  certainly  been  rather  freely  "improved  ' 
uy  the  restorer. who.  in  the  case  of  the  inissing  ono.  it 
has  been  po.'<itively  a-sserted  was  no  less  a  painter 
than  Sir  Thomas  IJiwreuce.  who  venttired  to  finish  a 
lM)rtniit  which  frainsborough  had  h-ft  uncoraplt^ted 
and  renounced  as  a  failure.  As  regards  thv  i>orsnn 
represcnteii  auy  one  may  now  satisfy  himself  by  hiok- 
ing  at  the  portrait  of  Georgiana.  Du'rhess  of  Devon- 
i-hire.  by  Gainsborough,  belonging  to  Earl  Spencer, 
now  tompurarUy  plact-d,  witli  othei-s  nf  the  Allhorjitj 
collectiou.  in  the  Sonth  Kensington  Museum.  Pi-ob- 
ably  uio«t  ]M-rfions  will  agree  that  the  portr.iit.  now 
first  exhibited, Tciuld  not  have  been  painted  from  the 
same  |K*rson.  However,  there  can  ho  little  doubt 
that  this  picture,  newly  brotight  to  light,  like  the 
missing  one.  closely  resembles  the  portrait  ou.rntved 
by  Mr.  Robert  Grave"*,  which  was  taken  from  that  be- 
hiaging  to  Viscount  Clifden,  always  called  Geor,^i::na. 
Duchess  of  Devonshire.  As  to  the  history  of 
the  present  portrait,  we  are  told  that  it  was  painted 
for  the  Duchess,  and  presented  to  Mr.  John  Caven- 
dish Foster,  the  father  of  the  Mr.  Foster  who  now 
possesses  it,  and  who  tonk  it  rolled  up  with  him  to 
Australia,  where  it  has  been  for  many  years,  and.  it 
is  said,  was  once  stolen  while  it  was  rolled  up  Bud  In- 
belled  "Mr.  Foster's  Fishing-rods."  .^iccording  to 
this  story  it  was  discovered  afterward  by  tho  Police 
on  the  quay,  about  to  be  put  onboard  the  steamer, 
^vith  a  name  upon  the  packages  which  none  of 
the  passengers  would  own  to.  This  much. 
idso,  is  known  about  the  picture  that  it 
was  in  London  at  the  time  the  Leeds  Exhibition 
was  being  organized,  in  1867,  and  was  offered 
for  exhibition,  seen  by  the  Commiasloner.  and  a**- 
cepted,,  hut  not  exhibited,  because  the  owner  re- 
quired it  to  bo  purchased  for  the  purpose.  Siuce 
then  it  has.  we  aro  told,  mnde  another  voyi^e  to 
Australia,  and  been  brought  back  In  ctmsequence  of 
the  tempting  price  paid  for  the  picture  which  disap- 
peared in  such  an  extraordinary  manner.  Many  will, 
pcrhairt.  remember  the  rumor  that  the  stolen  picture 
had  been  found  about  this  time  la«t  v-^ar.  in 
some  out-of-the-way  broker's  shop  in  Yorkshire,  and 
bad  b«*en  shown  to  a  gentleman  at  the  Midl.'ind  Rail- 
way Terminus  in  Loudon,  who  said  it  was  exactly 
like  the  lost  picture,  and  ga.ve  Information  rfbout  it.

another  "claimant  "  in  the  background  T 

FRIEXDS  MI:STAKEy  FOR  FOES. 

According  to  the  English  papers  of  July  30, 
great  commotion  was  caused  throughout  the  king- 
dom by  the  following  information  telegraphed  by 
the  news  agencies  on  Saturday,  the  2dth  :  "  A  tele- 
gram was  n*c«?ived  from._the  Privy  Council  Office  by 
the  Town  Clerk  this  afternoon,  stating  that  informa- 
tion had  reached  that  department  of  the  reported 
prevalence  of  Colorado  beetles  in  Hereford,  and 
requesting  that  an  immediate  investigation  should 
be  instituted.  Accordingly  the  Mayor  and 
Town  Ch'rk.  Superintendent  of  Police,  and  other 
public  official*,  commenced  a  strict  investigation 
all  the  afternoon.  It  was  soon  found  that  the  insects 
had  appeared  In  several  parts  of  the  city,  and  it  was 
a  slgnincant  fact  that  they  existed  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  two' railway  stations, 'principally  near  the  goods 
traffic  department,  thus  strenthening  the  theorr  of 
importation.  Xumbers  of  specimens  in  various 
stages  of  development  were  collected  and  subjected 
to  a  microscopical  examiuarioc.  but  they  were  found 
to  be  smaller  than  the  published  representations, 
being  evidently  younger,  and  were  of  various  shapes, 
according  to  tlie  stages  of  development.  These 
caused  some  perplexity,  but  there  is  littlo  doubt 
that  the  spccinitns  first  discovered  are  saraplos  of 
the  l»eetlc.  In  color,  form,  and  size  they  corre- 
S])onil  with  tlio  plates.  Tlie  lengths  of  tho  -sperimi-ns

ties  couteinplato  forwarding  speeimeus  to  the  Privy 
Council.  They  have  as  yet  come  to  no  determJuation 
as  to  the  methods  of  extermination,  owing  to  the  ex- 
tent to  which  the  insect  abounds.  -Meanwhile  the  ex- 
citement is  very  great,  and  every  facility  is  affoi-ded 
the  authorities  iu  carrymg  out  their  investigations. 
It  is  supposed  that  the  beetles  were  imported  with 
American  seed  potatoes." 

The  Hereford  Journal  of  the  following  day  says 
there  was  no  foundation  for  the  alarm,  as  the  in- 
sect on  investigation,  turned  out  to  be  the  seven- 
spotted  ladybiri  tlie  fanner's  very  best  friend,  which 
lives  upon  the  aphis,  and,  by  devouriag .blight,  is  the 
protector  of  vegetation. 


MR.  AXD  MRS,  CRAPOS  PERILOUS  TOXAGE. 
The  London  *SVaMdard  of  July  30  says:  "A 
novel  feature  in  the  programme  of  Saturday  was  the 
exhibition  la  the  Central  Hall  by  Captain  and  Mrs. 
Crapo  of  the  little  boat  in  which  they  recently 
crossed  the  Atlantic  Descriptions  are  given  by  both 
Captain  and  Mrs.  Crapo  of  ■  the  incidents  attend- 
ing their  voyage.  The  Captain,  in  reciting 
the  vicissitudes  of  the  -voyage,  said  that  tho 
tempestuous  times  wer^-=those  when  he  got 
most  rest,  for  when  favorable  winds  prevailed 
he  could  not  leave  the  helm  for  a  moment.  Once  he 
kept  at  his  post  70  hours  consecutivelv.  His  wife 
scarcely  had  a  night's  rest  during  tho  whole  voyaga, 
for  there  was  hardly  room  to  "fling  a  cat'  in  tlie 
cabin,  whlcli  is  scarcely  four  and  a  half  feet  in  len^h. 
Upon  two  or  three  occasions  they  found  themselves 
in  a  shoal  of  whales,  which  spouted  aud  blustered, 
and  frightened  his  wife  a  great  deal  The  rud- 
der of  the  little  craft  broke  in  a  gale  of 
wind,  th#^  main-sheet  traveler  having  been 
carried  away  two  or  three  days  before.  Of  the 
severity  of  t-ho  ton.'Jion  of  the  hand  in 
steering  for  so  many  coiisecutire  hours  there  is 
X>roof  iu  the  spniined  ■wrist,  and  whenever  sb'ep  w;h 
to  be  hoped  for  tho  boat  had  to  be  hovo  to.  Westerly 
winds  prevailed  throughout  the  voyage.  Mrs.  Crapo 
has  crossed  the  ocean  before  in  merchant  ships.  The 
Captain  confesses  that  his  late  task  lias  been  a  good 
deal  rougher  tlian  he  looked  for,  and  admits  that  he 
risked  the  peril  because  he  thought  he  could  make  a 
little  money  out  of  it.  He  wanted  to  stirpass  all  who 
bad  done  similar  things.  It  was  estimated  tliat 
nearly  10,000  persons  \-isited  the  palace  and  parit 
during  the  day  and  evening.'' 


PRINCES  MORQAXATICALLY  MARRIED. 
The  France  enumerates  the  Princes  who  have 
made  morganatic  marriages.  The  King  of  Portugal, 
the  Duke  of  .Saxe-Coburg  Gotha,  the  reigning  Duke  of 
Saxc-^ieiningcn,  and  the  Prince  Louis  of  Bavaria 
have  all  taken  their  wives  from  the  stage,  whence  one 
of  the  Czar's  sons,  the  Grand  Duke  Alexis,  is  said 
also  to  have  taken  the  partner  of  his  joys.  Among

THE  ATROCITIES  jy  HVLGARIA, 

MR.     GLADSTOKZ'S    TIEWS— HE    DOUBTS  THE 
STATEMENTS    ISSUED    BY    THE   PORTE — , 
FALSEHOOD  THE  MAINSPRING    OP     OTTO- 
3tAN  OFFICIAL  SPEECH — A    FULL  EXHIBI- 
TION    OP       FACTS     NECESSART     BEFORE 
JUDGMENT  IS  PASSED  ON  RUSSIA. 
The  August  number  of  the  Nineteenth  Cetttury 
contains  an  article  by  Mr.  Gladstone  on  "  Aggreesion 
on  Egypt,"   In  which  he  combats  the  arguments  in 
favor  of  seizure  or  occupation  of  that  country.  Iu  the 
course  of  It  he  incidentally  refers  as  follows  to  the 
allegations  of  Rtiuian  and  Bttlgariau  barbarities  in 
Korthem  Turkey : 

"Among  secondary,  bnt  still  very  weizhtj-.  reasons 
why  wo  ought  not  to  have  left^o  tho  s^de  charge  of 
Russia  a  European  responsibiutv,  w.-is  the  Uigh  likeli- 
hood, to  say  tho  least,  that  in  Sulgaria,  at  any  rate, 
-the  operations  of  the  war  would  bo  tainted 
with  barbarity.  It  m-iy  have  h<*en,  observed 
that  we  have  no  ttTistworihy  evidence  to 
show  that  this  coutingency  hns  l>ee^  rcaliiod 
on  the  Rnssiau  side  in  the  *Anneniati  campaign; 
and  in  that  eountiy  the  war  Iiad  not  been  pre- 
ceded by  any  but  the  nonnal  misconduct  of  the  gov- 
erning power.  But  upon  the  south  bank  of  the  Dan- 
ube the  land  bristled  with  stinging  and  exasperating 
recollections.  The  Bulgarians  are  men,  as  I  believe,  of 
at  any  rate  tho  average  humanity  of  Christendom;  but 
had  they  foregone  every  opportiinitv  of  retaliation 
after  the  frightful  massacres  of  1:^70.  they  would 
hax'e  been  angels.  For  weeks  past  the  Porte  has 
published  official  accounts  of  cruelties  InSicled  on  the 
Mohammedan  population  ;  cruelties  very  far  short 
of  those  which  it  had  Itself  commanded  nil  J  rewarded, 
but  still  utterly  detestable.  To  these  utteumces, 
except  by  a  few  fanatics,  little  heed  was  given  :  for 
the  world  had  learned,  on  conclusive  evidence,  that 
the  arts  of  falsehood  have  T»<?eived  a  itortentous 
development  in  Turkey,  and  have  become  the 
very  basis  and  mainspring,  so  to  say,  of  Ottoman 
efficial  speech.  As  late  aa  on  the  15th  of  July  the 
correspondent  of  the  Daily  Xacs—aMd  the  title  Is 
now  one  of  just  authority— declared  his  conviction 
thst  there  had  not  then  been  a  single  case  in  Bul- 
garia of  per&onal  maltreatment  of  a  Turkish  civilian 
by  a  Russian  soldier.  I  can  hartily  iione  this  is  now 
the  fact.  While  I  have  Uttle  fear  tuat  there  has 
been  on  the  part  of  Russixins  widoly-extended  cruelty, 
there  must  he  among  tliem,  at  least  here  and  there. 
ruffians  whom  discipline  will  ill  restrain :  and 
we  have  also  to  b«ar  in  mind  the  diversity 
of  races  and  civilizations  in  their  Army.  The 
subject  is  one  that  calls  for  the  closest  attention. 
We  have  first  to  wait,  as  we  waited  last  year,  for  a 
full  exhibition  of  the  facts ;  and  then,  without  re- 
spect of  persona,  to  estimate  them  as  they  deserve. 
Above  all  we  shall  then  have  to  observe,  and  honest- 
ly to  appreciate,  the  conduct  of  the  Russian  Govern- 
ment in  reference  to  proved  barbarity.  I  have  shown 
at  large  that  the  essence  of  the  case  of  1870  lies.  n(9t 
in  the  mas^iacres  themselves,  bnt  in  the  ,f^nauct  of 
the  Porte  about  the  massacres :  the  falsehoi^d,  the 
chicane,  tho  mockery  and  pen-ersion  of  justice,  the 
denial  of  redress,  the  ■  neglect  and  prinisbment 
of  the  good  Mohammedans,  and  finally  the  rewards 
and  promotions  of  the  bad.  in  pretty  close  propor- 
tions to  their  badness.  If  the  Ru«sian  Government 
descends  to  The  same  guilt,  I  heanily  hope  it  vrili  l>e 
covered  with  the  same,  or  more  th:iii  the  *:anie.  in- 
frimy.  But  if  it  artiveiy  assists  or  boldly  undertakes 
tlie  detci'tiou  of  crime,  if.  above  all.  it  indicts  prompt 
and  condign  punishment  on  the  offeiidfr>..  of  what- 
ever laud  or  rai'c  they  be.  it  will  then  have  done  all 
that  such  a  woeful  case  admits  to  clear  its  own  char- 
acter, and  to  \indieate  the  honor  of  Christian  civili- 
zation.''

"  For  the  last  day  or  two  we  have  been  chiefly  oc*

whether  this  somethiug  mtist  be  considered  excep- 
tional or  representative.  ^Vhtu.  for  instance.  I 
learn,  on  uuitupoachable  evidence,  that  intwoortliree 
places,  however  badly  Bulgarians  aud  camp-foUowers 
may  behave,  the  RussLtn  troops  conduct  themselves 
well,  and  that  in  other  places  precisely  the  «ame 
distinction  is  made  between  Basiii-Bazouks  and  Turk- 
ish regulars,  may  one  venture  to  t.ike  these  aa  sam- 
plea  of  the  general  behavior  on  both  sides,  or  do  they 
happen  to  be  exceptions  worth  little  iu  face  or  a 
mass  of  stories  which  I  cannot  verify  telling  the 
other  way/  Your  readers  can  answer  this  question 
as  well  a4  I.  Thtjy  have  only  to  bervr  in  ndnd  that  the 
manufacture  of  atrocities.  Russdan  aud  Turkish,  has 
C'>me  to-be  a  distinct  bxtsiuess  liero,  and 
to  wliJii  l.-ngtVis  it  is  sometinn'S  carried  mar 
be  inferred  ^'TTrom  the  fact  that  a  telegram 
crammed  I'ull  ot"  Russian  atrocities  was  actua21y 
drawu  up  for  uuo  cnrre<ipondeut  without  his  knowl- 
edge, aiid  his  landlord  half  coaxed,  half  buil;.*d 
iniu  forging  his  name  to  it.  though  by  what  we  will 
caii  a  stratagem,  fair  in  sucli  warfnr^,  the  ttrle- 
gram  was  at  tlie  last  moiueut  stoppe>i.  1  know 
the  correspondent  personally,  ."^iid  am  only  prevented 
fnnn  giving  his  name  and  that  of  his  paper — aa 
important  "London  journal — by  the  fear  of  com- 
promising him  iu  tlie-  eyes  of  tlie  authorities,  on 
whom  his  position,  perhaps  his  safetj*.  depends.  This, 
one  may  well  believe,  as  well  as  hope,  is  an  exag- 
gei-ated  instance  of  atrocity -mongcring.  but  in  other 
ways  it  goes  on  ataong  otherwise  perfectly  honest 
men.  They  ttim.  bewildered  and  dh^gusted.  fi-omthe 
mass  of  contradictory  evidence  presented  to  them. 
aud,  in  despair,  end  by  believing  w;u-tt  naturally 
thev  are  predisposed  to  believe — namely,  pretty 
nearly  everything  that  "telis  for  their  own  party, 
little  or  nothing  that  tells  against  It.  F.%-en 
ofBcial  reports,  written  with  the  fidle«;t  sense  of  re- 
sponsibilitv,  present  and  future,  canuot  alw.iys  be 
trusted.  5»'ot  that  the  writers,  ustuuly  gentlemen 
with  a  character  and  position  at  stake,  have  the  de- 
Iiber.ite  intention  to  deceive:  but  either  they  ap- 
proach the  inquiiy  with  a  parti  pris.  or  they  have  the 
sole  or  easiest  access  to  so tii  ces  of  iiiformaiiou  from 
whic}i  thev  see  only  one  side. 

•  "In  Constant  iuoule  the  mannfactui'e  of  Turkish 
atrocities  is,  perliups.  ou  the  whole,  nearly  as  brisk 
!is  tbattif  Russian.  The  only  advautai^e  enjoyed  by 
the  philo-Turk  is  thnt  Russian  atrocities  can  be  tele- 
graphed direct  from  Pera.  and  this  naturally  is  a  great 
temptutiou  to  correspondents  laudably  anxious  to 
be  early  with  news  ;  while  Turkish  atrocities  must 
wait  until  sent  by  letter  to  Syra.  and  thence  tele- 
graphed on.  so  that  before  re.iching  London  they 
are  comparatively  stale.  I  was  able,  lor  in.stance,  to 
tell  you  last  Sunday  about  the  correspondents  who 
sign'etl  a  circular  to  the  effect  that  they  had  with 
their  own  eves  seen  Mussulman  women  aud  children 
with  wounds  indicted  by  lances,  aud  who  told  them 
that  the  Russians  and  BtUgarians  had  been  guiltv 
•if  gi-eat  barbarii/:  but  it  will  take  mcjust  a  week 
longer  to  tell  you  that  Bashi-Bazouks  have  bden 
guilty  of  great  savagery  at  Yeni-Sagbra.  This,  how- 
ever.'here  in  Constantinople,  is.  aft<?r  all,  only  a 
question  of  thne,  and  no  harm  need  be  done  if  your 
readers  will  kindly  remember  th.U  my  Turkish  atro- 
citie's  must  always  aiTive  a  week  or  so  later  than  my 
Rnssian  crimes  :*  bnt  in  the  Froviucea,  where  the 
officials  control  uot  m--'P-'ly  teiCgrams.  but  even 
letters  of  correspondents,  none  bat  R:is- 
sian  atrocities  can  be  sent  In  .any  way,  and  the 
more  of  these  the  correspondent  semis,  the  higher  the 
favor  he  enjoys,  and  the  greater  the  facilities  given 
him  tor  inonng  from  place  to  place  and  transmitting 
news.  This  has  led  in  some  instauc-s  to  verj'  ignoble 
bidding  for  ofl;c::tl  patronage  and  protection.  I  am 
told,  on  perfectly  trustworthy  testimony,  of  one 
correspondent  who  offered  to  .«end  whatever  ths 
nuthurities  liked :  ther  might,  if  Ihey  so  pleased, 
dictate  his  letters,  if.  in  return.  they 
would  give  him  advantages  not  conceded  to 
the  rest  of  his  professional  brcihren.  Another 
correspondent  stooped  to  the  trick  of  altering  :i  let- 
ter intended  for  a  Loudon  paper  without  the  writer's 
kuowl-.-d  u,  thouglL,  of  cc-tirso.  with  the  connivance 
of  the  Turkish  authorities,  and  prcsnm.ibly  to.  curry 
favor  with  them.  In  this  pariicnl.nr  instance  the 
trick  was  detected  through  the  mistake  of  taking 
into  his  confidence  a  correspondetit  who  happened  to 
be  a  gentleman  ;  but  how  often  it  has  been  tried  or 
succ^edeil  in  other  iustances  there  is  uo  means  of  as- 
certsiniug. 

"One  may  hope  tliat  this  tampering  with  letters, 
like  the  forging  o^  telegrams,  is  an  exctjption  to  the 
rule  :  but.  nevertheless,  at  best,  and  where  no  dishun- 
£-sty  is  practiced,  it  is  very  difficult,  perhaps  impossi- 
ble.' for  Correspondents  distinctly  recognized  as  such, 
to  transmit  from  the  provinces  any  news  not  favora- 
ble to  the  Turks,  Hence  from  that  side  you  may 
expect  none  but  Russian  and  Bulgarian  atrocitie<i. 
just  .OS  from  tl<e  Russian  side  you,  I  suppose,  get 
nothing  bat  Turkish  deeds  of  shame.  However, 
after  everj-  allowance  is  made  for  Invention  and  ex- 
aggeration, there  can.  I  fear,  be  no  doubt  th.at  hor- 
rible cruelties  aro  committed,  and  that  there  is  great 
danger  of  a  civil  war  of  extermination." 

A  rOLVXTEER  TORPEDO  LATTXCU. 
Tne  Cronstadt  correspondent  of  the  London 
GUA>e  sAy^:  ''I^ast  week  a  volunteer  torpedo  launch 
was  dispatched  from  St.  Peterabnrg  to  the  Danube.

been  fitted  up  by  thg  makers  in  amost  costly  manner. 
Lp,st  month  it  was  purohnsed  by  a  certain  Lient.  Km- 
soff.  of  the  Russian  Navy,  who  fitted  it  up  with  tor- 
pedo gear  at  his  own  expense,  ajid  theu  applied  to  the 
Oovemmrint  to  be  allowed  to  proceed  to  the  Danube

Another  disaster  in  the  Indian  country  is 
Ihidcd  to  the  humiliating  record  which  the 
United  States  has  made  in  its  dealings  with 
ttie  Xez  Perces.  If  the  penalty  fell  on  those 
who  deserved  it,  there  would  be  a  certain 
degree  of  poetic  justice  in  the  spectacle  of 
a  great  nation  like  our  own  liaffled  in  its 
attempts  to  bring  to  peaceful  terms  a  tribe 
or  Indians  whom  it  has  for  years  cheated, 
persecuted,  and  plundered.  The  Nez 
JE'erees  learned  most  of  the  skill  they  show 
in  fighting  while  engaged  in  de- 
fending the  intereste  of  the  United  States, 
and  they  are  now  employing  it  in  an  attempt 
to  preserve  their  land  from  whites  whom 
the  National  Grovemment  is  bound  to  drive 
away.  Their  struggle  is,  of  course,  a  hope- 
less one,  and  sooner  or  later  they  will  be 
crashed  out ;  but  their  cause  is  essentially  a 
good  one.  It  adds  incalculable  bitterness  to 
the  regret  with  which  the  couiltry  witnesses 
the  misfortunes  of  its  soldiers  to  know  that 
they  afe  suffering  for  the  neglect  or  the 
treachery  and  greed  of  those  who  escape 
soot  free. 


There  is  naturally  a  good  deal'^of  disetis- 
Siion  in  commercial  circles  as  tb  the  pros- 
pects of  trade  for  the  Fall,  and  it  seems 
to  be  expected  that  there  will  be  a 
considerable  revival  of  trade  at  that 
time;  but  it  is  too  early  to  form  more  than 
a  general  impression  regarding  the  current 
of  Opinion  on  this  subject.  The  tendency 
of  the  bsuik  reserves  to  diminish  is  not 
•hown  in  last  week's  averages,  the  surplus 
rfbove  th&  legal  requirements  hav- 
ing increased  slightly  as  compared 
with  the  previous  week  :  the  rates  of  dis- 
count continUB  low  and  the  demand  for 
money  light.  Prices  of  stocks,  however, 
■how  some  improvement,  and  there  is  un- 
doubtedly some  tendency  on  the  part  of 
outside  capitalists  to  take  railway  shares, 
which,  with  the  prospect  of  a  large  crop 
movement,  and  with  the  advantage,  which 
the  roads  enjoy,  of  having  withstood  with- 
out decline  the  adverse  influence  of  the 
■tribes,  encourages  such  investments.  Mean- 
whfle,  as  we  have  said,  the  general  expecta- 
tion as  to  the  Fall  is  cheerful.  In  this  con- 
Dsction,  some  facts  regarding  the  sugar 
^rade  which  we  publish  this  morning  will 
bo  read  with  interest.  That  trade  has  been 
made  the  subject,  within  a  few  days,  of -a 
pretentious  "  canard,"  which  the  authorities 
in  the  business  pronounce  too  ridiculous  to 
b©  harmful. 

A  correspondent  from  Atlanta,  Ga.,  whose 
opportrmities  for  observing  the  every-day 
life  of  the  people  of  the  State  have  been 
unusually  good,  gives  some  interesting  state- 
ments regarding  the  tendency  to  separation 
between  the  whites  and  the  blacks.  This 
has  gone  so  far  that  the  blacks  are  de- 
manding teachers  of  their  own  race  in 
place  of  the  admirable  ones  furnished  by 
the  American  Missionary  Association;  The 
mdvemeht  is  an  unfortunate '  one,  and  can- 
not possibly  succeed,  and  though  the  blacks 
are  subjected,  in  some  instances,  to  ex- 
treme provocation,  they  will  Jeam  by  ex- 
perience that  they  will  get  the  worst  of  any 
attempt  at  a  struggle  of  this  character. 
They  are  too  weak  in  numbers,  in  instruc- 
f  jon,  in  money,  and  in  resources  of  every 
kind,  to  form  a  self-sustaining  and  exclusive 
portion  of  the  community.  The  only  hope 
tor  the  best  interests  of  both  races  in  sJl  the 
Bonthern  States  is  to  try  and  lire  together 
peaceably,  and  to  learn"  as  fast  as  possible 
to  respect  etich  other's  rights.  That  the 
process  will  be  a  tedious  one  for  the  colored 
SWpUao  ea«  deabta:  but  it  ]iM  bscocm 


Beeessarjr,  and  any  general  eflptt'st  sep- 
arating interests  will  only  make  {the  end 
more  difBeolt  to  attain. 


If  the  MacMahon  Grovemment  it  not  pre- 
paring the  French  people  for  a  de  :laration 
of  ~  martial  law,  the  anti-republici  n  news- 
papers are  certainly  doing  so.  W  th  com- 
plete gravity,  and  with  a  matt<  Ir-of-f act 
style  of  approval  wMoh  is  quite  appalling, 
the  royalist  and  imperialist  organs  discuss 
this  proposed  measure  as  if  it  were  already 
determined  upon.  It  seems  monstipus  that 
in  a  time  of  profound  peace,  wihen  the 
■vigilant  government  does  not  even  pre- 
tend to  fear  ,  armed  plots  or  civil 
war,  martial  law  should  be  declared. 
One  clerical,  reactionary  journal,  ths  Univers, 
assumes  that  a  state  of  siege  will  be  ( leclared, 
and  that  the  Cabinet  have  votelitby5to 
4.  This  paper  believes  that  maipial  law 
should  prevail,  in  order  "  that  the 
may  vote  freely  and  be  uninfluencei  by  the 
falsehoods  of  the  Badical  prop:  Uganda." 
This  is  delightfully  incoherent ;  but  it  is  the 
sort  of  talk  which  is  calculated  to  [amiliar- 
ize  the  minds  of  Frenchmen  with  |he  most 
extreme  measures  to  come. 


The  Georgia  Convention  has  decSded  by  a 
nearly  unanimous  vote — 1G6  to  L5 — ^that 
it  will  not  aUow  the  bonds  which  i  ;  alleges 
to  be  fraudulent  to  be  submitted  td  a  court. 
It  had  already  refused  to  receive  &n  argu- 
ment prepared  for  the  bondholdei  9  by  the 
venerable  Jebe  Black,  or  to  hear  i  verbal 
statement  from  the  Democratic  ex -Senator 
Norwood.  In  a  question  of  the  pocket  po- 
litical prejudices  are  not  allowei  to  in- 
terfere. And  when  ex-Gov.  Jes^kiks  pro- 
posed simply  that  the  validity  of  tl  e  bonds 
be  submitted  to  a  Democratic  court,  with- 
out the  right  of  appeal,  Mr.  EobeeI  TooiiBS 
fought  the  suggestion  with  success.  His 
main  argument  against  the  bondhol  lers  was 
an  impudent  one,  and  was  that  t!  le  State 
Government  which  issued  them  Wi  ,s  forced 
upon  Georgia  by  bayonets,  and  ihat  the 
State  was  not  bound  to  recognize  any  of  its 
acts.  He  professed  himself  willin,  f  to  pro- 
vide for  paying  any  of  the  bonds  f i  >r  which 
the  State  received  any  consideration,  though 
he  said  nothing  as  to  how  even  that  fact  was 
to  be  ascertained.  The  bonds  thu«|  repudi- 
ated are  about  $3,000,000  in  amount. 
They  have  never  been  declared  ft  ludulent 
or  illegal  by  the  courts  of  the  Statt .  They 
have  simply  been  condemned  by  tl  e  Legis- 
lature, and  afterward  by  a  popul  ir  vote. 
This  last  act  of  the  convention  fii  [ally  dis- 
poses of  them.  It  is,  of  course,  n  iked  re- 
pudiation and  rascality.  They  caU*it  in 
Georgia ' '  nailing  the  coffin  of  Radical  recon- 
struction," bunt  will  be^ouad  that  the 
good  name  of  Georgia  lies  in  the  gr^ve. 


SEPCBLICAX  EEORGAMZAflOX. 

The  question  which  is  among  tpe  most 
important  presented  to  the  Eepublican 
Party  at  the  elections  this  year  isijwhether 
it  can  supply  from  its  ranks  men  Ikble  and 
Willing  to  do  the  work  of  the  ofScfe-holders 
who  have  been  withdrawn,  and  lo  do  it 
efficiently  and  successfully.  It  ■would  be 
idle  to  deny  the  advantages  which  me  party 
has  heretofore  enjoyed  from  the  services  of 
Federal  employes  in  the  drudgery  of  ipolitical 
campaigns,  and  from  their  contribntionsto 
the  funds  necessarily  employed  at  sulh  times. 
Whether  these  advantages  have  not  been 
more  than  counterbalanced  by  disadvan- 
tages flowi^  from  the  same  scou^ce  is  a 
matter  regarding  which  there  are  diterences 
of  opinion.  The  most  serious  difficulty  to 
which  the  system  has  given  rise  isl  the  ex- 
clusion, voluntary  or  otherwise,  of  disinter- 
ested workers  from  the  management  of  the 
party.  That  this  has  taken  place,  and 
that  it  has  gone  far  toward  dem  )ralizing 
the  party,  and  producing  the  reverse  s  which 
have  overtaken  us  within  the  last  f  oi  ir  years, 
cannot  be  doubted.  The  trouble  las  been 
greater  in  some  sections  than  in  others,  but 
it  has  been  greatest  where  Federa  patron- 
age has  been  largest,  and  \vhere  it '  las  been 
most  generally  used  for  the  manipu  Lation  of 
party  affairs.  It  remains  to  be  seen  [whether 
this  demoralization  has  been  complete, 
whether  the  party  contains  enough  sin- 
cere and  energetic  men  Tvho  are 
willing  to  give  time  and  means 
to  its  service  to  carry  its  p  'inciples 
to  success.  That  is  a  point  which  jan  only 
be  settled  by  the  members  of  the  i  arty  for 
themselves.  We  have  seen  it  demo  astrated 
that  under  the  old  system  of  man  igement 
the  party  was  losing  ground ;  that,  lowever 
valuable  were  the  services  of  the  official 
organizers  and  contributors,  they  i  rere  not 
sufficient  to  keep  the  old-time  ms  jorities. 
We  must  now  win  with  the  new  sy  item,  or 
we  must  give  up  the  struggle.  Th  it  is  the 
plain,  sensible,  practical  view  of  tl  e  imme- 
diate situation. 

We  have  already  frequently  poii  ted  out 
that  the  early  victories  of  our  pa  -ty  were 
achieved  with  resources  of  the  ss  me  kind 
as  those  on  which  we  are  now  cal  ed  upon 
to  rely.  There  was  certainly  no  paid  corps 
of  "  workers"  in  the  ranks  of  the  Eepubli- 
cans  who  brought  the  free  States  one  by 
one  into  line  and  wrung  tj^e  National?5overn- 
ment  from  the  desperate  grasp  of  ti  le  slave- 
holders' party.  On  the  contrary,  ;hat  mo- 
mentous triumph  was  reached  by  v  )luntary 
service  pitted  against  the  most  skillful 
and  relentless  application  of  tio  sys- 
tem of  patronage.  Lideed,  the  sj  stem  of 
patronage  was  to  a  great  extent  use  1  by  the 
Southern  leaders  as  their  chief  and  best 
means  of  retaining  the  alliajice  of  tl  e  i«  orth- 
ern  Democracy.  It  was  not  the  L  iventiou 
of  those  leaders,  .for  it  is  a  vicious 
development  in  all  democratic  govern- 
ment ;  but  it  was  never  before  i  o  inge- 
niously used  or  so  relentlessly  peri  isted  in 
as  by  the  compact  and  cunning  baud  of 
politicians  who  guided  the  political  fortunes 
of  the  slave  power.  It  is  well  WJrth.  re- 
membering now  that  this  use  of  offices  as  a 
political  instrumentality  offended  be  con- 
science and  aroused  the  indi^aatio  a  of  the 
people,  and  contriblited  in  no  smal  1  degree 
to  the  success  of  the  Itepublicab  move- 
ment. That  movement  was  recjognized 
as  -a  revolt  against  a  "vulgar  :  kn<^  in- 
sulting tyranny,  which  employed  he  tax- 
payers' money  and  the  powers  of  re  present- 
ative  government  to  repress  or  per  rert  the 
popular  will.  And  the  fate  which  was  vis- 
ited upon  the  anterlf  ar  X)fimocraoy,  invited, 
as  it  was,  by  a  betrayal  of  poUtieal  trust,  is 
one  which  sooner  or  later  mus ;  eiime 
to  any  political  organization  whic]  l  relies 
upon  patronage  and  not  oi.  con- 
viction for  its  principal  moti^ve  power. 
The  BepubUcan  Party  has,  siiLce  the 
h«ttt«d  alf  tugole  orer  reoenstruotioA,  relied 


tooiUrgelyon  this  false  support,  and  it  now 
sees  that  the  reed  was  bending  if  not  break- 
ing; It  is  the  duty  bf  those  who  believe  in 
the  usefulness  of  the  party,  in  the  sound- 
ness of  its  principles,  and  the  essential 
value  io  free  government  of  the  purposes  it 
entertains,  to  come  forward  and  take  up  the 
woi|k  under  which  the  old  system  was  ob- 
■vio^sly  giving  way. 

Andl  there  is  another,  and,  in  this  State,  a 
very  important  reason  why  the  sincere 
friends  of  the  BepubUcan  cause  should  take 
up  the!  task  of  political  activity  promptly 
and  with  vigor.  It  Is,  that  if  they  do  not  do 
80,  the  party  machinery  will  fall  into  hands 
quite  as  bad  as  those  which  have  heretofore 
controlled  it,  and  possibly  much  worse.  It 
shoiild  not  be  forgotten  that  the  spoils  sys- 
tem appeals  not  only  to  office-hold- 
ers but  to  office-hunters,  and  that 
while  the  former  have  been  used  to  regard 
control  of  the  "machine"  as  a  necessary 
condition  to  retaining  their  positions,  the 
latter  have  sought  to  get  hold  of  the  "ma- 
chine "  as  a  means  of  reaching  office.  Of 
the  itwo  sets  of  politicians,  the  former  have 
usually  been  far  the  most  respectable  and 
the|mc|st  responsible.  Now  that  the  Presi- 
dent's I  order  requires  them  to  withdraw 
£roih  active  political  work,  the  office-seekers 
are!  stjill  left  free  to  try  to  seize  the 
party  organizations,  and  in  this  State,  at 
least,  t;hey  have  ample  motives  for  doing  so. 
In  the  first  place,  this  class  of  men,  led  by 
leaders  who  are  "reformers"  by  profession 
only,  and  who  are  as  deeply  involved  in  all 
the  abuses  of  the  spoils  system  as  any  lot  of 
political  schemers  in  the  land,  have  no  idea 
that  the  recent  order  is  to  be  permanently 
enforced.  They  cannot  imderstand  it  as 
anything  but  a  move  in  a  political  game, 
intended  to  cripple  one  clique  and  to 
give  an  opportunity  to  its  rivals,  and  they 
aupeaij  confident  that  when  they  have  them- 
selves Seized  this  opportunity,  the  restriction 
will  be  quietly  ignored,  and  they  will  enter 
on  thi  full  enjoyment  of  both  place  and 
power:  In  this  they  wiU  be  mistaken.  The 
Administration  could  not  carry  out  a  scheme 
of  hypbcrisy  so  shameless  and  contemptible, 
if  it  were  disposed  to  do  so,  as  it  is  not. 
But  that  fact  wUl  not  prevent  the  clique  wo 
refer  t^sliom  doing  their  utmost  to  get  hold 
of  the  share  in  the  organization  which  the 
Federal  employes  are  surrendering. 

Andj  to  be  plain,  there  is  another  motive* 
for  this  attempt.  The  Tammany  leaders 
see  in  the  temporary  disadvantage  to  which 
the  Eepttblicans  are  subjected  a  chance  to 
put  tlieir  own  allies  in  power,  and  to  re- 
establish the  instrumentality  through' 
which; they  have  already  onee  done  so 
much  harm — Tammany  Eepublieanism. 
0<ir  readers  know  only  too  well 
what  that  was,  what  mischief  it  worked, 
and  how  much  it  added  to  the  difficulty  of 
disl|}dging  from  power  the  Four  Thieves 
who  then  represented  the  Tammany  King. 
It  is  a  substantial  and  present  danger  that 
thelRfepublican  organization  in  this  State 
may  a^in  fall  under  the  influence  of  a  sim- 
ilariiuilign  combination,  and  we  have  no 
doubt,!  that,  in  different  degrees  and  under 
various  forms,  a  like  danger  threatens  the 
party  in  other  States.  In  view  of  this 
fact,  we  again  urge,  and  shall  constantly 
urge,  on  conscientious  Espublicans  the  im- 
perative duty  of  taking  an  active  part  in  the 
management  of  their  party  affairs.  The 
point  at  which  to  begin  is  the  primary  meet- 
ings. IWith  proper  attention,  these  can  now 
be  made  an  efficient  m.eans  of  expressing 
the  genuine  purposes  of  the  mass  of  the 
par:y,  and  nothing  could  be  more  important 
to  the  future  of  the  party  than  that  this 
should  be  done.

SCSSIA  UXVEILED. 
Mystery  has  always  been  regarded  as  es- 
senl  iali  to  success  both  in  polities  and  in 
and  it  doubtless  is  so,  provided  the 
mysltery  can  be  kept  inviolate.  The  great- 
ness of  Russia  is  merely  a  kind  of  political 
"Spectre  of  the  Brocken" — the  shadow  of 
an  ordinary  State  magnified  a  thousandfold 
by  its  reflection  upon  a  cloud  of  impenetra- 
ble niystery.  To  do  as  the  Emperor  XlcH- 
OLAS  did — to  maintain  a  mighty  Army,  to 
lolate  indistinct  rumors  of  its  irresistible 
strength,  and  never  to  go  to  war  with  any 


—is  an  admirable  plan  if  it  can  be  ear- 
out  to  the  end ;  but  this,  unhappily,  is 
what  it  cannot.  Sooner  or  later  some 
unmannerly  intrusion  of  hard  fact — a 
Danubian  campaign,  a  Polish  insurrection, 
Crimean  war — rends  the  veil,  and  re- 
veals that  these  irresistible  hosts  can 
die  ii  be  kUled  like  other  men,  that  their 
ers  blunder  or  neglect  their  duty  as 
eommqn  mortals  might  do,  and  their  army 
couiTaetors  supply  stale  bread,  diseased 
meat,  !  shoddv  uniforms,  and  sanded  gun- 
powder,  in  the  same  way  as  any  otner  army 
:ra<;tors  outside  the  magic  cii-cle.  One 
the!  periodical  rents  in  Russia's  veil  of 
mystery  has  just  been  made  by  Osmax 
Pas  la's  cannon ;  and,  as  in  the  case  of  the 
Veiled  Prophet  of  Khorassan,  very  ugly 
things  are  beginning  to  show  themselves 
through  the  gap.  Two  all  bu.t  successful 
campaigns  ruined  by  fla^auE  incapacity, 
fom  splendid  armies  helping  each  other  to 
do  t  othing,  provisions  running  short  close 
to  a  jlins  of  railway,  a  vast  suj)e- 
riortyl  of  numbers  rendered  un- 
availLug  by  want  of  coaeeutration, 
gaQint  soldiei-s  dying  like  sheep  from  want 
of  proper  food  and  proper  ventUation, 
thousands  of  brave  men  sent  to  certain 
death  ^rom  sheer  lack  of  supports  to  hold 
what  they  had  won — ^these  are  facts  which 
■will  give  Russia's  military  prestige  a  heavier 
bloy  than  the  loss  of  a  dozen  Sevastopols. 
In  a  word,  the  battle  of  Plevna  and  its  re- 
sults exactly  realize  the  story  of  Don 
Quixote,  who,  having  fitted  his  helmet  with 
a  pasteboaid  visor,  tested  the  latter  with  a 
good  syord-stroko,  and  by  that  one  blow 
destroyed  the  fruit  of  sis  weeks'  labor. 

But  the  ominous  feature  of  this  great  re- 
verse is  not  so  much  the  disaster  itself  as 
the  fact  of  its  having  had  power  to  stun  into 
monientary  ina'^tion  the  most  distant  detach- 
ments of  the  invading  army.  To  find  a  par- 
allel toj  such  sudden  and  universal  panic  we 
must  go  back  to  the  victory  of  Fredeeick  the 
Gre^t  at  Leathen  in  1757,  which  ruined  at 
one  jbldw  all  the  successes  of  the  Austrians 
both  in  Saxony  and  Silesia,  drove  them 
headlong  over  the  frontier,  and  caused  the 
surrender  of  Breslau  and  several  other  for- 
tified towns.  That  the  mere  repulse  of  a 
hasty  attack  made  by  a  small  force  upon  a 
larg^  one,  strongly  intrenched,  should  have 
had  power  to  shake  the  whole  Eussian 
Army,  shows  that  there  is  something  radi- 
cally wrong,  and  that  something  is  want  of 
iMa&i»aif»  becvveeit  offiaers  and  msn.    Ho 


one  ean  look  at  the  hard,  patient,  stolid,  un- 
yielding face  of  the  Bnsslan  grenadier  with- 
ont  seeing  at  a  glance  -that  such  a  man,  if  he 
have  but  full  trust  in  those  who  lead  him, 
■will  be  ready,  in  his  stubborn  courage  and 
native  instinct  of  obedience,  to  go  anywhere 
and  do  anything.  But  let  him  once  begin  to 
feel  that  he  is  ill  commanded,  and  that  he 
and  his  comrades  are  being  sacrificed  to  no 
purpose,  and  he  loses  heart  altogether. 

Kor  is  Russia's  military  strength,  despite 
her  prominent  figure  on  the  world's  map, 
specially  imposing  when  seen  by  the  light  of 
imparial  arithmetic.  The  population  of 
the  wiole  Empire,  from  Kamtchatka  to  the 
bordei-  of  Germany,  is  only  80,000,000  ; 
and  tntis  the  present  "  war  establishment " 
of  ,50,275  officers,  and  1,771,387  rank  and 
file,  alknost  equals  Napoleon's  famous  levies 
of  one  in  forty,  whereas  experience  has 
shown  that  one  in  a  hundred  is  the  utmost 
limit  to  which  a  national  conscription  ean 
safely  !«  carried.  Nor  is  the  national  tem- 
per b^  any  means  warlike.    The  Chinese 

proverb, 

"  How  ti  pn  tso  ting : 
How  jin  pu  tso  ping  " — 
("Of  good  iron  one  does  not  jnake  a  nail ; 
of  a  good  man  one  does  not  make  a  soldier" ) — 
exactly  expresses  the  creed  of  the  ordinary 
Russiin,  though,  as  recent  events  have 
shown,!  he  can  fight  like  a  hero  when  re- 
quired. !  Indeed,  the  battle  of  Plevna  alone 
would  have  sufficed  to  place  the  valor  of  the 
Czar's  troops  beyond  dispute,  though,  like 
the  campaigns  of  182,6  and  1S53,  it  has 
shown  how  little  mere  barrack  routine  can 
avail  amid  the  imforeseen  emergencies  of 
actual  iwarfare.  Marshal  Saxe's  criticism 
on  the  English  at  Fontenoy  holds  equally 
true  o: '.  the  men  who  fought  at  Plevna  and 
Rasgrid,  "  Lions  commanded  by  asses." 

It  is  difficult  to  criticise  Russia's  military 
strength  without  at  least  a  passing  allusion 
to  the  veteran  bugbear  which  still  terrifies 
a  few  lintraveled  readers,  though  no  one 
who  h  IS  visited  Central  Asia  could  long  re- 
tain a:  ly  faith  in  it,  viz.,  the  possible  ad- 
vance cJf  Russia  upon  India.  Set  do^wn  on 
paper  by  a  fluent  Russian  General,  with  no 
one  to  argue  on  the  other  side,  the  scheme 
has  otenbeen  made  to  look  practicable

Herat  traverse  a  well-watered  and  perfectly 
easy  xaet,  abounding  in  forage,  and  prac- 
ticablis  throughout  for  field  artillery  ;  while 
the  Attreek  route  contains  no  natural  obsta-

GIVIi>'b  EVERTBOVY  ErEETTUING. 
It  hits  not  escaped  the  notice  of.  thought- 
ful observers  that  during  the  struggles,  by 
no  means  yet  finished,  which  are  to  settle  in 
some  iFay  the  governmental  and  social 
problems  raised  by  the  war,  one  very  in- 
sidious and  serious  danger  is  the  attempt  to 
transphkut  here  into  successful  operation 
the  "  ijiitemal  theory  "  of  government  from 
the  Old  WcTld.  Under  autocracy,  tho  ruler 
I  is  conctmt'd  for  the  people  only  for  the  sake 


his  revenues  and  gratifying  his 


to 


the  full,  they  look  to  him 
for  the  protection  which  enables 
them  to'  hve,  and  hence  the  paternal  rela- 
tion natm-lilly  arises.  Under  democracy, 
the  theory  lis  that  the  people  are  supreme, 
goveriittg  themselves  by  elected  represen- 
hence  the  theory,  carried  out,  is 
that  ti^y  owe  no  allegiance  except  to  them- 
selves I  contribute  revenue  to  themselves 
for  their  own  purposes  ;  do  nothing  except 
what  themselves  decree  ;  have  nothing,  and 
can  hrf^'c  nothing,  except  what  themselves 
have  frit  epeated  by  industry. 

By  tpa  paternal  theory,  government  is  in 
wisdom  ani  1  power  as  far  above  the  indi- 
■vidual  ijitisen  as  the  father  is  above  the 
child,  Ei:id  iihould  exercise  the  like  fostering 
and  protecimg  cjare.  It  should  be  refuge 
for  thei  oppressed,  help  for  the  needy,  wis- 
dom for  thi»  foolish,  counsel  for  the  igno- 
rant, balm  for  the  weary,  guardianship  for 
the  unprotected,  shelter  for  the  naked — an 
overflc'winjr  fouitainof  good  to  which  every- 
body riiy  <  ome  without  price.  It  should 
educate  a'l  wl.o  desire  education;  it 
should  see  that  the  people  do  not  make 
the  now  prevalent  mistake  of  enter- 
ing tile  vrong  occupations;  it  should 
end  Kslrital  unhappiness  by  selecting  for 
every!  qdy  |  the  proper  partner  ;  it  should 
promo  t^  arid  encourage  authorship,  agricul- 
ture, manufactures,  music,  invention,  edu- 
cation, and  the  true  theology  ;  it  should  be 
for  ev(!rybody  an  uncle  whose  stores  of  good 
■will  ami'abiility  never  fail ;  it  should  do  for 
everybody  everything  that  he  asks  or  needs. 
Being  stronger,  'wiser,  and  purer  than  the 
indivicLual,|it  should  be  his  will,  his  con- 
scieno  3J  and  his  motive  power ;  it  should  be 
he,  lea  V  ngjto  him  only  passive  acquiescence ; 
it  shoxd  be  everytMng  to  everybody,  and 
give  e'rtxybody  everything. 

This  soimds  Uke  burlesque,  but  it  is  in- 
tended seriously  as  a  statement  of  the  logi- 
cal outcome  of  the  paternal  theory,  which 
is  itself  founded  on  the  idea  that  govern- 
ment is  bigger  and  better  than  the  man,  and 
can  ihelp  him  better  than  he  can  help  him- 
taii,    Tiiere  are  reasons  whr  goveixuaent 


seems  to  the  European  p«naat  the  Urgest 
thing  in  the  world,  possessing  superhuman 
qn&litiea,  andteuoh  may  be  fhisted  to  the 
wisdom  of  a  personal  govranment,  for  that 
naturally  draws  to  itself  permanently  the 
best  ability;  but  any  such  superiority  of 
government  over  the  average  citizen  is  con- 
trary to  the  nature  of  a  democracy. 
Nevertheless,  although  there  is  prob- 
ably no  country  where  "the  nature 
and  workings  of  government  are_  so  little 
studied  and  understood  as  here,  the  notion 
has  taken  root  that  "  the  government "  is  a 
sort  of  impersonal  thing  ■with  perpet- 
ual Buocession,  lifted  above  the  frail- 
ties of  human  judgment,  able  to  solve  prob- 
lems and  remove  difficulties  ■with  which 
nobody  can  cope.  Thus,  during  every  ses- 
sion in  the  last  four  years,  Congress  has 
Jieen  vaguely  expected  to  find  out,  in  its 
wisdom,  some  way  of  removing  business 
troubles  ;  and  even  yet  there  are  those  who 
think  that  some  legislative  panacea 
might  be  applied.  It  is  aU  in  vain. 
The  expected  relief  is  not  furnished, 
because  the  imagined  wisdom  and  power  to 
furnish  it  have  no  existence.  Government 
possesses  the  might  of  many,  but  hardly  the 
wisdom  of  one.  It  is  an  aggregated  force, 
directed  with  very  little  ■wisdom,  slow  to 
start  and  slower  yet  to  turn  or  to  withdraw, 
and  wastefully  exercised.  The  notorious 
fact  that  public  work  is  always  badly  done 
as  compared  ■with  private  work  is  a  per- 
petual refutation  of  the  idea  that  govern- 
ment has  any  efficacy  over  private  energy 
for  exercising  any  but  the  most  primitive 
functions ;  on  the  contrary,  government  is  a 
necessary  evil,  indispensable  as  a  means  of 
preserving  social  order,  but  ill  adapted 
to  doing  anything  which  the  individual  can 
do  for  himself,  and  dangerous  as  soon  as  it 
begins  enlarging  itself. 

The  paternal  theory  has  been  chiefly  put  in 
practice  in  some  form  or  other  of  grant 
from  the  public  treasury.  From  1850  to 
1871  215,000,000  acres  of  pubUc  lands 
were  granted  by  Congress  to  States  and  cor- 
porations for  railroad  purposes,  159,000,- 
000  of  this  to  the  Pacific  roads,  and  nearly 
5,000,000  acres  have  been  granted  for 
canal  purposes  ;  for  the  Pacific  roads  a  debt 
of  $64,000,000  was  assumed,  now  swollen 
to  $92,000,000,  and  promising  to  exceed 
$150,000,000  ;  and  the  largest  grantee 
proposes  to  repay  the  government  by  prac- 
tically borrowing  anew  from  it.  And  now 
the  Texas  Pacific,  for  a  work  already  partly 
done  and  certain  to  be  finished  within-  a 
reasonable  time  without  aid,  wants  a  gov- 
ernment guarantee  of  interestou  over  2,000 
miles  of  road,  likely  to  reach  $100,000,- 
000  principal,  and  proposes  as  "  security" 
that  if  government  cannot  get  back  its 
money  it  may  sell  $5,000  per  mile  of  the 
company's  bonds,  which  it  can  retain  for 
the  purpose,  these  bonds  also  to  be  guar- 
anteed! Behind  this  are  canal  and  other 
jobs,  which,  if  they  could  once  get  log-rolled 
through,  would  double  the  present  public 
debt,  provided  the  public  credit  did  not  in- 
terrupt the  process  by  itself  failing. 

Now,  government  is  not  a  producer ;  it  is 
exclusively  a  consumer,  and  a  very  burden- 
some and  wasteful  one.  It  has  not,  and  can 
never  get,  a  dollar  of  its  own  ;  every  dollar  in 
the  treasury  must  first  be  earned  by  the 
industry  of  the  people  and  be  placed  there 
by  taxation.  If  it  were  practicable  to  get, 
without  borrowing  it,  a  fund  from  some 
other  government,  as  a  gift  to  "the  people," 
or  for  the  construction  of  public  works,  we 
should  then  be  levjing  a  contribution  on  the 
productive  industries  of  that  nation  for  the 
benefit  of  unemployed  labor  here  ;  but,  as 
this  cannot  be  done,  when  we  establish 
national  "  bureaus  of  industry"  and  enter 
into  the  construction  of  national  railroads 
and  canals,  in  order  to  secure  cheap  trans- 
portation and  give  employment  to  labor,  we 
stall  simply  redistribute  to  labor,  in  a  bung- 
ling and  wasteful  way,  what  we  have  pre- 
viously taken  from  labor.  There  is  no  pos- 
sible benefit  in  such  attempts.  The  existing 
Pacific  railroads,  dearly  as  they  cost,  were 
really  exceptional,  but  if  Mr.  Thomas 
Scott's  job  is  successful  there  will 
be  no  point  where  the  ^subsidy  busi- 
ness ean  certainly  be  checked.  The 
time  when  the  country  was  able  to  let  the 
Treasury  door  stand  open  has  passed.  There 
is  no  safety  but  in  a  broad,  positive,  and 
vmconditional  refusal  to  aid  anything  more  ; 
the  people  must  come  to  the  final  determin- 
ation to  have  no  more  subsidies,  and  reserve 
taxation  and  its  proceeds  for  strictly  neces- 
sary government  expenditures.  The  coun- 
try is  too  poor  to  be  either  prodigal  or  gene  r- 
ous,  and  it  will  remain  too  poor,  at  least  for 
this  century.  Not  only  is  this  the  positive 
financial  view  of  the  case,  but  the  whole 
theory  and  practice  of  fostering  this  or  that 
thing  by  government  is  directly  opposed  to 
the  simplifying  and  reforming  which  is  the 
great  work  to  be  done.  To  reform  govern- 
ment, we  must  make  less  of  it,  not  more. 


TEE  LESSON  OF  NYACE. 
■  Nyaek,  a  charming  village  on  the  west 
bank  of  the  Hudson,  in  Rockland  County, 
has  just  completed  an  experience  which 
is  worth  a  passing  comment.  It  is  an  ex- 
perience which,  in  many  respects,  illus- 
trates the  possible  abuses  of  civil  govern- 
ment. About  five  years  ago,  the  village  of 
Nyack,  then  containing  a  population  of  five 
thousand  persons,  formed  part  of  a  township. 
The  people  thought  that  it  would  be  good 
for  them  to  have  a  separate  incorporation 
of  their  own,  as  their  tolerably  compact 
community  could  be  more  easily  managed 
by  a  Board  of  Trustees  than  by  the 
more  widely-scattered  township  authorities. 
An  election  was  held  under  the  general  law 
relating  to  village  corporations,  and,  by  a 
large  vote,  the  benefits  of  the  act  were  ac- 
cepted. A  Board  of  Trustees  was  duly 
elected  and  organized,  and,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  this  and  other  machinery,  all  went 
on  swimmingly  for  a  time.  The  people 
were  mightily  pleased  with  the  honors  and 
dignities  of  incorporation,  and  the  newly- 
elected  officers  were  doubtless  equally 
pleased  with  their  share  of  the  same. 

The  too  common  notion  that  executive 
officials  are  created  for  the  chief  purpose  of 
spending  money  appears  to  have  prevailed 
'with  the  high  and  mighty  men  who  ruled 
the  destinies  of  Nyack.  Nothing  that  cost 
money  and  added  to  the  importance  of  the 
rulers  of  the  village  was  omitted.  When 
the  newness  of  the  corporation  machinery 
wore' off,  the  villagers  were  dismayed  to  find 
that  it  'Was  very  expensive.  The  local 
authorities  spent  money  freely,  but  they 
had  nothing  to  show  for  their  outlay.  "Im- 
provements," as  certain  well-known  fraudu- 
lent daviees  aieealled.  wet«  oroieotAd.

/ 


and  a  wiaty  of  Oings  wer»  don* 
for  the  benefit  of  the  people,  all  of  which 
required  the  assessment  of  taxes,  the  in- 
crease of  taxes,  and  the  umual  and  exas- 
perating mnltipUeatlon  of  taxes  and  aasess- 
menta.  The  villagers  of  Nyack  had  unwit- 
tingly invited  a  King  Stork  among  them. 
He  was  not  much  of  a  stork,  possibly,  as 
Nyack  is  a  smaU  place  ;  but  he  devoured 
their  substance  ■with  great  appetite.  The 
village  Government  was  a  job,  and,  imder 
guise  of  "  improvements,"  the  money  col- 
lected from  the  tax-payers  was  worse  than 
wasted.  WitlSn  two  years,  $50,000  was 
made  awa^  with,  somehow ;  and  that  is  no 
small  amount  for  a  little  ■village  like  Nyack. 

Perhaps  all  of  this  misgovernment  might 
have  been  tolerated,  if  the  villagers  had  se- 
cured any  benefit  whatever  from  their  once- 
honored  incorporation.  But  they  had  none. 
Sanitary  and  police  regulations  were  next 
to  nothing,  and  the  villagers  only  knew  that 
they  had  a  Government  by  the  frequent 
appearance  bf  the  tax-coUeetor.  They  de- 
termined to  give  up  their  costly  experiment 
and  return  to  the  arcadian  simplicity  which 
was  once  theirs.  The  law  requires  the 
Trustees  of  a  village  to  order  an  election, 
at  which  the  question  of  disineorporation 
shall  be  voted  upon,  whenever  one- 
fourth  of  the  ^qualified  voters  of 
the  village  ask  them  to  do  so.  In  this  case 
the  Trustees  refused  to  grant  the  request, 
which  was  duly  preferred.  The  Trustees 
were  in  possession.  The  villagers,  or  a  ma- 
jority of  them,  went  to  the  courts  and  se- 
cured a  mandamus  compelling  the  Trustees 
to  order  the  election.  This  brouglit  on  a 
crisis,  and  the  Trustees,  on  the  day  ap- 
pointed,;^procured  an  injunction  to  prevent 
such  election.  Next,  the  people  applied  to 
the  courts,  and  the  injunction  was  dissolved. 
But  the  Trustees,  or  those  acting  in  their 
interest,  carried  the  case  up  to  the 
Court  of  Appeals,  and  so  more  de- 
lay was  secured.  As  defeat  was  sure 
to  overtake  these  too-willing  village  gov- 
ernors at  last,  the  Legislature  was  mean- 
time asked  to  enact  a  special  law  making  it 
impossible  to  disincorporate  Nyaek.  The' 
bill  slipped  tiirough  both  houses,  but  was 
vetoed  by  the  Governor  for  reasons  obvious 
to  any  one  at  all  acquainted  with  its  de- 
ments. So  the  election  was  finally  and  le- 
gally held,  after  the  villagers  had  been  two 
years  endeavoring  to  secure  an  opportunity 
to  vote  on  the  question.  The  village  was 
disincorporated  last  week  by  a  vote  of  2S2 
to  71. 

In  our  form  of  government  it  is  possible 
for  selfish  and  dishonest  men,  as  well  as  for 
vainglorious  and  extravagant  men,  to  get 
into  office  and  stay  there,  in  spite  of  the 
protestations  and  la-wful  endeavors  of  the 
citizens  to  put  them  out.  What  has  been 
done  in  Nyaek  has  been  done  in  thousands 
of  tovms  and  cities  throughout  the  Repub- 
lic. Nyack  ousted  an  expensive  and  profli- 
gate Government  after  two  years  of  strug- 
gle. We  should  be  glad  to  think  that  other 
communities  carrying  some  such  Old  Man 
of  the  Sea  could  be  as  easily  delivered  from 
their  burden.  Tax-payers,  whether  in 
villages  or  great  cities,  have  be- 
come accustomed  to  being  regarded 
as  the  lawful  spoU  of  speculators  in 
office.  It  is  reckoned  a  light  offense  to 
squander  or  misappropriate  the  money 
which  belongs  to  a  community.  Men  get 
off  scot-free  when  they  treat  public  funds 
in  a  way  that  would  "be  called  theft  if  those 
funds  belonged  to  a  private  citizen  in  his 
individual  capacity.  Municipal  and  State 
officials  do  not  even  blush  when  it  is  neces- 
sary, as  it  was  in  a  Staten  Island  village 
lately,  to  procure  an  injunction  to  prevent 
them  from  spending  money  without  warrant. 
Whether  it  is  true  or  not  that  the  world  is 
governed  too  much,  it  certainly  is  true  that 
government  costs  too  much.  And  the  vil- 
lagers of  Nyaek  have  done  ■wisely  'ia_  de- 
termining to  rub  along  ■with  less  government 
and  more  comfort.  This  story,  colorless  as 
we  have  made  it,  has  been  the  woniment  of 
a  community  for  more  than  two  years.  And 
after  all,  Nyaek  is  a  great  city  looked  at 
through  the  big  end  of  a  telescope. 


UNDESIRABLE   MILLIONAIRES. 

We  published  on  Tuesday  an  extract  from 
the  San  Francisco  Bulletin,  which  quoted  an 
article  from  the  Frankfort  Gazette,  giving  a 
dazzling  picture  of  the  millionaires  of  the 
Golden  State.  The  Bulletin  disclaims  any 
intention  of  indorsing  in  their  entirety  the 
statements  of  its  foreign  contemporary,  yet 
is  of  opinion  that  even  if  the  richest  men 
in  the  world  are  not  to  be  found  in  Cali- 
fornia to-day,  they  will  be  half  a  century 
hence.  So  much  may  happen  in  half  a  cen- 
tury that  we  should  not  presume  to  express 
an  opinion  to  the  contrary ;  but  so  far  as  the 
wealth  of  California  is  concerned  to-day,  we 
must  gravely  demur  to  the  flattering  esti- 
mate of  the  Guzette,  which  we  fear  may 
have  the  effect  of  turning  any  number  of 
young  Teutonic  heads,  and  adding  a  large 
contingent  to  the  already  lamentably  large 
army  of  mining  martyrs.  The  plain  truth 
is  that  these  huge  mine  fortunes  go 
for  comparatively  little  in  the  estimation 
of  the  really  solid,  substantial  men  to  whom 
this  country  is  indebted  for  the  credit  it  en- 
joys abroad.  After  the  figuring  up  by  the 
Gazette  of  the  income  of  the  late  Baron 
Rothschild,  the  late  Lord  Westminster, 
and  Messrs  JoXES  and  Mackev,  of  Califor- 
nia, comes  the  warning  voice  of  the  Bulletin, 
telling  tis  that : 

"The  estimates  made  by  this  foreign  journal  are 
speculative  and  carioas,-)but  some  of  those  relating 
to  the  wealthy  men  of  this  coast  would  need  careful 
revision.  For  instance,  John  P.  JosES.  some  years 
ago,  while  a  large  owner  in  Crown  Point  and  other 
productive  mines,  might  have  been  worth  some  mil- 
lions ;  at  least,  we  suppose  his  income  then  was  a 
fair  dividend  on  several  millions.  But  he  some  tim  e 
a^o  ceased  to  l>e  a  very  rich  uLao,  and  we  presum  e  to- 
day he  does  not  consider  >'''m'tftlf  to  have  more  tlian  a 
moderate  fortune." 

Now  here  is  just  the  point.  The  Duke  of 
Westminster's  great-grandfather  was  solidly 
rich,  his  grandfather  richer,  his  father  richer 
still,  and  he  is  richest  of  all.  Rothschild, 
too,  can  point  to  generations  of  wealth,  but 
Jones,  it  seems,  is  poorer  already,  and  while 
the  failure  of  Rothschild  or  Westminster 
would  astound  the  moneyed  world,  "who 
would  be  very  much  amazed  if  Macket  be- 
came a  poor  man  again  T  Can  that  be  held 
real  wealth  which  depends  on  the  most  fluc- 
tuating of  all  possible  stocks  f 

These  vast  ephemeral  fortunes  are,  we 
believe,  calculated  to  have  as  bad  an  in- 
fluence on  the  mind  of  youth  as  those  of 
the  first  ASTOB.  and  of  Stewart  have  a 
good  effect;  and  the  e'vil  is  enhanced  by 
such  statements  as  that  "none  of  them 
had  fortunes  twenty  years  ago,  and 
veer  Um  «vca  tea  jr«ars  aeo."    A  aauh. 


more  wholesome  raflection  Is  found  ta- 
the  &et  that  "  quite  a  number  who  hadlarga 
fortunes  five  or  ^z  years  ago  do  not  to-day 
figure  in  the  list  of  milUonaires."  Nothing, 
indeed,  can  be  less  desirable  for  a  com- 
munity than  rapid  fortunes  of  this  kind. 
What  is  especially  needed  in  this  coimtry  is 
wealth  in  the  liands  of  men  of  jad^ment, 
moderation,  patriotism,  and  cultivation.  We 
gain  absolutely  nothing  by  millions  remain- 
ing for  a  few  years  in  the  hands  of  one  un- 
educated man,  who  by  sheer  lack  has  risen 
to  gigantic  command  of  money,  and 
then,  before  his  family  have  had 
time  to  be  educated  to  properly  ^3is- 
pense  large  means,  shifting  to  another. 
We  are  even  now  suffering  in  some  degree 
from  the  pernicious  effects  of  rapidly  accu- 
mulated and  ill-adjusted  wealth,  although 
New-York  can  at  least  say  of  her  three  rich- 
est sons  that  they  knew  how  to  keep  their 
money,  and  to  live  becomingly  upon  it. 
She  can  very  well  afford  to  give  California 
her  Ralstons,  Floods,  and  O'Briens,  if  she 
can  keep  half  a  dozen  citizens  of  but  a  tenth 
of  their  nominal  wealth  whose  property  is 
.  as  soimd  and  substantial  as  that  of  the  Duke 
of  Westminster.

The  public  library  of  Boston  has  lately  been 
enriched  by  the  gift  of  two  valuable  private  collec- 
tions, one  belonging  to  the  late  Benjamin  P.  Hunt, 
a  Philadelphia  merchant,  and  the  other  to  Miss 
Eliza  Mary  Thayer,  of  Boston. 

Gen-  Chamberlain  was  a  brave  soldier  and  is 
a  very  estimable  gentleman,  but  his  known  political 
sentiments  during  the  past  tiiree  or  fonr  years  linve 
liardly  qualified  him  to  speak  authoritauvely  for  the 
Republican  Party  of  Maine  in  this  emergency. 

The  Ticksburg  Herald  is  strong  in  the  belief 
that  in  the  parishes  of  Louisiana  and  counties  uf 
Miss'Lssippi,  edjacent  to  Vicksburg,  50,000  induv 
trious  laborers  could  g^n  a  comfortable  subsistence 
from  the  soil,  and  still  there  would  be  room  for  mure. 

The  Bangor  (Me.)  VTliiq  looks  upon  the  re- 
sults of  the  Maine  State  Convention  as  a  grand  tri- 
umph of  true  republican  principles,  and  it  says  that 
the  platform  will  be  hailed  with  approval  by  tliose 
who  have  upheld  the  party  standard  in  the  most 
trying  ordfi^. 

The  manager  of  a  Boston  "Lecture  Bu- 
reau "  says  that  he  has  made  all  of  Carl  Schnrt  s 
lecture  engagements  in  Xew-England,  that  he  paid 
him  $200  for  each  lecture,  and  liad  him  lecture  six 
times  a  week,  and  tliat  lecture  commixxeas  were  ^lad 
to  secure  him  at  any  price. 

The  independent  Democratic  ticket,  which 
the  Republicans  supported,  defeated  the  regular 
Democrats  in  Mobile,  Ala.,  at  the  late  election,  by 
majorities  ranging  from  a  few  score  up  to  2.000. 
The  Segister  is  consequently  in  a  very  unhappy 
frame  of  mind,  and  thinks  everything  is  going  to  de- 
struction on  express  time. 

Fire  Marshal  Durkee.  of  San  Francisco,  rec- 
ommends the  passage  of  an  act  by  the  Legislarur* 
compelling  the  proper  construction  of  theatres,  pnl>- 
lic  buildings,  and  churches,  for  easy  and  safe  egress 
dmingfire;  and  that  theatres  be  compelled  to  keep 
persons  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  attend  only  to  fir« 
apparatus  during  performances. 

There  were  no  lives  lost  by  the  forest  fires  at 
Eaton,  near  Green  Bay,  Wis.  The  five  missing  fam- 
ilies have  turned  up  alive,  after  suffering  from  lack 
of  food  and  sle^.  One  'woman  saved  her  children 
by  la.ving  them  upon  the  ground  and  covering  them 
with  earth.  Another  family,  who  had  fonght  fire  fcr 
14  hours  -without  food  or  rest,  were  about  to  despair 
when  a  slight  shifting  of  the  wind  opened  to  Thrtm  a 
path-way  to  safety. 

Ex-Gov.  Dingleys  paper,  the  Lewiston  Jmir 
nal,  says  that  three-fourths  of  the  Maine  Republican 
State  Convention.  m'.'luding  both  friends  and  op- 
ponents, from  beginning  to  eud  concurred  in  the  wise 
judgment  that  it  would  be  impolitic  to  express  any 
opinion  on  the  President's  course  in  South  Carolina 
and  Louisiana,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  grave  differ- 
ences of  opinion  as  to  its  propriety  now  prevail 
among  Republicans,  which  time  and  the  progress  oi 
events  -will  be  likely  to  lianounizi-. 

Five  elephants  and  a  camel  came  to  a  brid^:e 
in  Oswego  County,  early  Friday  mominir,  at  lh« 
moment  that  a  team  of  horses,  drawing  a  wac^>a 
loaded  with  empty  barrels,  apijeared  at  the  other 
end.  The  sight  of  the  elephants  frightened  tiis  . 
horses,  and  they-  turned  short  around,  upset  the 
wagon,  and  dashea  away.  The  rattling  of  the  bai-- 
rels  in  turn  terrified  the  elephants,  and  they  stam- 
peded in  the  other  direction.  The  sun  was  pretty 
high,  and  the  diivei-s  iX  hoib  ends  of  the  bridge  were 
very  warm  before  the  passage  was  effected.

DSADWOOD,  Dakota, Wednesday,  Aug.  1,  1877. 
Inuring  the  past  three  months  several  x>ros- 
pecting  parties  have  gone  from  here  to  the  Big 
Horn  country.  In  all  probably  not  less  than 
600  men  and  boys  have  fitted  out  from  Dead- 
wood  and  the  surrounding  camps.  One  party 
numbered  150,  well  armed  and  provisioned. 
Kone  of  these  expeditions  have  returned,  but 
some  dis^sted  hangers  on  have  from  time  to 
time  appeared  on  o>ir  streets,  and  have  more  to 
say  about  Indian  raids  than  about  rich  gold 
finds  There  is  certainly  nothing  yet  to 
justify  the  threatened  stampede  in  that 
direction.  Scouts  say  that  the  various  expedi- 
tions have  thoroughly  prospected  the  head  of 
Powder  Kiver,  Crazy  Woman's  Fork,  and  Wil- 
low Creek^  and  found  nothing.  Those  who  went 
up  on  the  east  side  of  the  Big  Horn,  toward  the 
Hontana  borders  and  along  the  Wind  River, 
have  met  various  expeditions  from  Rawlins, 
Green  River,  and  Ogden,  who  have  been  over 
all  the  streams  well  up  into  the  mountains,  and 
still  they  fail  to  find  aby  very  rich  diggings.  It 
noTV  begins  to  look  as  if  Deadwood  -would  be  the 
final  rendezvoxjs  of  these  various  parties,  and  the 
coming  Winter  find  more  people  here  thjin  ever 
before.  This  will  give  the  Black  Hills  country  a 
few  months  more  of  thorough  testing,  for 
these  men  cannot  afford  to  be  idle.  They  must 
do  something. 

I>eadwood  is  as  lively  as  ever.  It  is  a  queer 
place.  The  man  who  ventured  the  remark  that 
a  fool  and  his  money  are  soon  parted  must  have 
had  in  his  mind's  eye  some  such  place  as  this. 
It  is  the  sharpers'  paradise.  The  ••  tenderfoot" 
is  here  brought  face  to  face  with  the  ingenious 
bummer,  the  shck  confidence  man.  the  claim 
jumper,  the  land  shark  and  the  desperado,  and 
he  is  a  man  of  more  than  usual  alertness  who 
does  not  get  "  taken  in  "  somehow  or  other 
before  he  has  been  24  hours  in  this  sinful  city. 
There  is  no  such  place  anjTvhere.  It 
shows  up  in  its  worst  forms  the  "  fast 
and  flash  '*  American  trait.  A  little  over  a 
year  ago  the  site  of  this  swarming  camp  was  a 
part  of  the  howling  wilderness.  To-day  there 
are  along  the  streets  and  up  and  down  the 
gulches,  within  a  mile,  over  10,000  people. 
Here  is  a  city  of  4.000  inhabitants,  with  a 
Qoating  population  of  2,01)0  more.  About 
1.500  nouses  and  huts,  and  hundreds  of  tents 
up  the  hill-sides,  an  academy,  church,  two 
dafly  newspapers,  four  banks ;  20  lawyers, 
physicians,  dentists,  artists;  club-houses,  thea- 
tres in  full  blast  every  night,  the  streets 
thronged  with  speculators,  tramps,  and  bum- 
mers ;  gambiing-heUs  open  all  day  long,  and 
**  cappers"  on  every  comerwatchingforthenext 
*'  victim '" — such  is  a  hasty  glance  at  Deadwood. 
It  is  a  place  in  which  the  few  prey  upon  the 
many.  You  cannot  buy  anything  for  less  than  a 
quarter  :  vour  hving  costs  you  double  what  it 
would  at  t>enver  or  Salt  Lake  City.  You  can't 
step  in  any  direction  without  facing  some  device 
for  getting  rid  of  your  money.  They  have  even 
got  a  "  comer  "  on  postage  stamps  and  you  must 
pay  from  a  dime  to  a  quarter  for  a  three-cent 
stamp.  It  is  no  wonder  that  the  thousands  who 
come  here  with  a  few  dollars  in  their  pockets 
soon  find  themselves  "dead  broke"  and  depend- 
ent upon  the  charity  of  the  better  class  of  peo- 
ple, it  cannot  be  urged  too  strongly  that  poor 
men  or  men  of  small  competence  should  stay 
away  from  the  Black  Hills.  It  may  not  be  out 
of  the  way  for  capitalists  to  come  and  look 
around  ;  but  let  the  poor  man  stay  away.  One 
of  the  business  men  here,  seeing  the  condition 
of  the  hundreds  who  lay  idle  and  penniless  about 
the  street,  has  the  l^nestv  to  write  to  the  Dead- 
wood  Times,  for  the  benefit  of  **  pilgrims,"  in 
which  he  savs  that  the  truth  ought  to  be  told,  and 
the  '*  tenderfeet"  be  advised  to  stay  at  home.  X 
quote  from  his  communication : 

'•  There  are  thousands,  of  men  in  the  Hills  who 
would  be  glad  to  work  for  their  bread,  or  euDugh 
money  to  pay  their  way  back  home  :  but  there  is  no 
employment  for  them.  The  placer  claims  are  all 
taken  up  by  the  first  comers,  and  the  quartz  leads  are 
not  yet  samciently  developed  to  require  many  lalior- 
ers.  I  never  saw  so  miiiiy  sii-k-luoking  men  iu  my 
life  as  I  have  seen  in  Deadwood.  They  come  here 
without  a  cent  in  their  pockets,  expecting  to  gobble 
up  gold  by  the  bucketful,  and  they  soon  go  away 
with  a  *flea  in  the  ear,'  Now,  Uiese  pOgrims  are  not 
the  oidy  fools  in -this  'vain  delusive  world.'  "They 
come  here  full  of  greedy  expectation,  but  iu  --t 
hours  their  Korgeoos  air  castle^have  blown  away 
I  nto  bubbles. 

It  may  be  said  to  tlie  credit  of  the   local   press 

-  (there  are  five  newsjiapt^rs  in  the  Black  Hills) 
that  they  have  aimed  to  be  truthful  and  have 
not  invited  such  an  indiscriminate  stampede  sm 
h*s  set  in  this  direction.  I  think  the  grand 
furor  was  got  up  by  the.,  (,'h£yerne,  Sidney. 
Siotix  City,  and  Umaha  'newspapers,  and  tliL- 
stage  cotnuanies.  aided  by  the  L'nion  Pacific 
and  officials  of  other  railways  leading  in  this 
direction,  in  order  to  secure  the  large  travel  and 
to  sell  supplies  to  the  thousanis  en  route 
hither.  Each  of  the  pla^:es  we  have  named  has 
advertised  itself  as  the  outfitting  point  for  the 
land  of  gold,  and  done  all  it  t»>uld  to  keep  up 
the  excitement  about  the  Black  Hills. 

Of  the4,000to  6.000  people  in  Deadwood.abtiut 
200  are  in  business,  eniploving  capital  ranging 
from  $.o00  to  $10,000  eai'h  :  perhaps  500  are 
carrying  on  legitimate  and  paying  mining  en- 
terprises in  the  neighljorhood  gulches  ;  about 
600  are, day  laborers,  earning  from  $4  down  to 
'*  grubstakes."  a  scant  living.  .^11  the  rest  are 
Bimplywaudering  about  fomenting  a  stampede 
to  some  other  locality,  cursing  the  luck  that 
sent  them  to  the  Black  Hills,  or  philosophically 
waiting  for  something  to  turn  up.  All  the  sur- 
roundings are  calculated  to  make  men  desper- 
ate. More  than  half  the  population  are  out  of 
work,  and  many  are.  glad  of  the  chance  that 
gives  them  oue  meal  a  day.  Yet,  still  ther 
come — every  stage  from  Sidney,  Cheyenne.  Bis- 
marck, and  Fort  Pierre  crowded  full :  prairie 
schooners  streaming  iu  by  every  route,  mule 
teams  and  ox  teams,  many  on  horseback,  and 
hundreds  on  foot.  Thus  far  since  early  in  the 
Spring,  the  average  arrivals  have  been  about 
200  a  day.  For  a  while  but  few  were  going 
back,  but  noiif  the  departures  are  fully  equal  to 
the  arrivals,  and  but  for  the  lack  of  means  to 
pay  for  their  journey  it  is  safe  to  say  that  2,000 
or  3,000  more  would  be  wendiiig  their  way 
hack  to  **  God's  country,"  as  they  affectionately 
call  the  home  and  friends  back  in  the  States. 

It  cannot  be  denied  by  those  most  sanguine 
concirtiing  the  riches  of  the  Black  Hills  that  the 
present  outlook  is  farfrom  satisfactory.  But  little 
gold  is  being  taken  out — not  so  much  as  at  this 
time  last  year.  The  whole  country  from  Custer 
to  Deadwood  is  not  producing  over  $3,000  .per 
day,  while  the  population  in  the  Hills  is  esti- 
mated at  40,000 — not  10.  cents  per  day  to  the 
man.  Probably  50  claims  include  all  that  are 
paying  remarkably  rich.  On  French  Creek, 
wbic,h  in  the  Spring  of  1875  was  famed  for  its 
"  diggings."  and  caused  the  furor  which  built 
Custer  City,  scarcely  any  claims  are  paying. 
The  best  produce  from  $2  to  $5  per  day  per 
man,  if  properly  drained  and  worked  with  ex- 
pensive pumping  machiner}-.  Scarcity  of  water 
IS  a  great  drawback  to  any  satisfactory  work. 
An  okl  miner,  who  has  had  40  years'  experence 
In  Cdifomia,  Arizona,  Montana,  Nevada,  and 
Colorado,  and  has  carefully  been  over  all  the 
gulches  and  through  the  mining  camps  of  the 
Black  Hills,  expresses  the  belief  that  French ' 
Creek  is  not  as  good  diggings  as  Cherry  Creek 
above  Denver,  and  the  latter  has  not  been 
thought  worth  the  working.  He  states  that 
Spring  Creek  is  "  rim-rock  and  high-bar  dig- 
gings" on  a  deep  and  fiat  gulch.  It  will  pay  for 
about  15  miles,  from  "grub  stakes"  to  wages. 
All  the  claims  on  French  and  Spring  Creeks  are 
for  sale,  and  the  parties  who  own  tbe-best  of 

•  them  would  sell  at  a  fair  price  for  the  improve- 
ments or  work  that  has  been  expended 
in  getting  them  into  shape.  Along  Rapid 
Creek,  which  is  the  largest  stream  in  the  hills, 
and  its  tributaries.  Castle  and  North  Rapid,  bars 
pay  in  spots  from  S2  to  $10  per  day.  Big 
hopes  are  entertained  of  rich  pay  on  beM-rock. 
In  a  week  or  two  much  will  be  decided.  Manv 
experienced  miners  think  that  the  reputation  of 
the  Black  Hills  as  a  placer  mining  country 
pretty  much  hangs  on  the  resultsof  the  work 
now  being  prosecuted  on  Rapid  Creek  from 
Jlountain  City  for  a  distance  of  35  miles  below, 
and  along  its  main  branch.  Castle  Creek.  Large 
numbers  of  claims  have  been  taken  up  and  re- 
corded, but  little  coyote  holes  here  and  there 
are  about  all  that  has  been  done  in  the  way  of 
developing.  The  claim-owners  are  waiting  to  see. 
If  the  few  experiments  being  made  show  **  big 
pay,"  then  a  stampede  to  that  section  will  give 
them  a  good  chuce  to  "  unload"  at  a  snug 
mm.'  The  csmpe  at  Castleton,  Mountain  City, 
and  Sitting  Bull,  are  quite  lively  in  anticipation 
of  big  strikes.  Ont^e  of  Rapid  and  Castle

the  Bear  Butte  country  and  Deadwood  G^  ilcli 
and  its  tribntaries.  All  the  claims  on-Sijear- 
fish  and  Belle  Fourche  ar^  taken  up  ;  but  £e  f  of 
them  are  being  worked,  and  scarcely  any  a  low 
tig  pay.  As  for  Deadwood,  it  is  a  rich  g^ch 
for  uome  three  miles  in  length,  with  sefler&l 
small,  short  gulches  putting  into  I  it. 
The  placer  claims  of  300  feet  lav© 
paid  all  the  way  from  $10  to  $50.(00. 
For  a  mile  or  more  on  each  side  of  Deadwood 
Creek  the  quartz  deposit  has  been  struck,  j  It 
runs  flat,  like  a  coal  vein,  is  flinty  and  white, 
with  oxide  of  iron  through  it,  and  gol<L  The 
Woolsey,  Hidden  Treasure,  Father  De  Snet, 
and  other  lodes  are  being  worked,  and  the  ore 
pays  $20  to  $40  per  ton.  These  deposits  ^em 
to  face  the  gulch,  and  do  not  extend  back  any 
distance,  so  the  chances  are  that  they  will  not 
hold  out  very  long.  Outside  these  deposits 
there  are  "  true  Assure  reins  "on  the  head  of 
Bobtail  Gulch  and  Gold  Rtin,  all  low  gradeL  $8 
to  $10  are. 

As  a  mining  region  the  different  distric  s  of 
the  Black  Hills  are  unlike^  anj^hing  elsQ  in 
the  Rocky  iU^ountain  countrj-.  The  p^cer 
claims  seem  to  "  pan  out "  remarka- 
ble well  in  spots,  but  there  is  j  no 
steady  run  of  luck  sucn.  as  miners  in  Califqmia 
have  been  tised  to  month  after  month.  jThe 
quartz  mines  are  not  like  those  of  Colorado  or 
any  other  good  gold  country.  The  geolo^  is 
allat  fault  There  is  no  regularity  to  anytl  .ing, 
and  while  there  may  be  rich  "  pockets,"  the 
mining  capitalist  must  "  go  it  blind,"  and 
spend  thousands  with  the  chance  of  gettin  j  no 
return.  I  have  seen  a  statement  that  $2,(  00,- 
000  were  taken  out  of  the  Black  HiUs  last 
year.  That  may  have  been  so.  But  the  re  iitlts 
ior  this  year  to  all  appearances  will 
not  be  over  that,  and  there  are  !  five 
times  the  number  of  people,  and  tw  enty 
times  the  amount  of  capital  at  stake ,  in 
these  mines  that  there  were  a  year  ago.  We 
cannot  see  anytihng  to  inspire  much  confit  ence 
in  the  permanency  of  this  country;  ant  yet 
hundreds  of  experienced  miners  and  me  a  of 
the  world  *'  go  their  bottom  dollar  "  on  it.  As  a 
rule,  notwithstanding  tho  want  aud  almost  star- 
vation noticeable  at  Deadwood,  it  seems  t  >  be 
the  disposition  to  *'grin  and  bear  it."  There 
is  a  seeming  hilaritv  and  desire  to  mrikt  the 
best  of  everything,  ^ose  who  own  city  lots 
hold  them  at  high  figures,  and  $100  per'  ront 
foot  is  about  the  rate  a  tnan  will  have  tc  pay 
for  a  bmlding  site  on  Main-street.  A  sma  11  ca- 
boose well  located  rents  for  $125  per  m  mth. 
You  can  weio:h  out  your  dollar  in  dust  for  i  seat 
in  the  Gem  Theatre  or  the  Bella  Union,  n  here 
you  can  any  night  see  *'  new  stars  in  rapidf  sue 
cession."  The  Bella  Union  is  just  in  receipt  of 
20  of  the  best  "  people  "  that  could  be  spt  in 
Chicago  at  $10  per  week.  The  Gem  males  a 
specialty  of  the  ballet,  and  is  well  supplied|with 
lady  waiters.  The  Melodeon  has  stige  room 
for  five  or  six.  the  remainder  of  the  long  room 
being  devoted  to  monte,  chuck-aluck,  faro  rou- 
lette, and  10  dice-tables. 

I  think  the  best  idea  of  life  and  tim  fs  in 
Deadwood  may  be  gained  by  a  glance  ov(  r  its 
daily  newspapers,  which,  by  the  way  are 
slightly  larger  than  a  sheet  of  foolscap  an*  ,  are 
delivered  to  any  part  of  the  city  at  $l!  per 
year,  or  $2  per  month,  the  editor  taldn,  the 
caution  to  announce  In  his  prospectus  th  it  he 
expects  every  subscriber  to  "down  witl  the 
dxist,"  and  not  offer  "coon-skins,  scalp,  or 
watered  bug  juice"  in  payment,  as  he  is  ht  re  in 
Deadwood  intending  to  "prospect  througl  the 
murky  channels  of  literature  solely  fo  ■  the 
colors.''  The  paper  before  us  calls  attenti  n  to 
the  opening  of  a  new  banking-house,  ani  L  the 
novel  way  in  which  they  do  such  things  h  ro  is 
indicated  bv  the  editor's  assurance  that  "  the 
opening  of  iBrown  &  Thum's  new  bank  w  11.  be 
celebrated  to-night,  and  George  Shingle  sa  rs  he 
will  have  a  corps  of  attentive  waiters  to  s  ipply 
the  wants  of  gentlemen  who  desire  anythi  g  in 
his  line  of  refreshuients,  and  we  do  not  peak 
wide  of  the  mark  when  we  say  he  can  put  th»*i^i 
up  right."  A  local  notice  in  another  part  f  tlie 
paper  tells  us  that  "  Bloom,  on  Lee-i  treet. 
is  in  receipt  of  partv  vests,  ties,  and 
gloves,  which  will  be  m  demand  for  the  great 
opening."  We  are  informed  that  "on  t  toll- 
gat©  house  o^  the  Bear  Buttes  Road  is  ; .  si^n 
reading  thus':  'Loose  pilgrims,  frt-e;  picked 
pilgrims,  five  cents ; ' "  and  that  "  the  prev  iling 
color  of  nantaloous  worn  by  gnld  men 
in  the  HiUs  is  a  shade  '  betwet  a  a 
salt  mackerel  and  a  coitfish-"  There 
is  every  symptom  that  Deadwood  is  a  fast  town, 
for  a  local  announcement  asivs:  "Mrs.  Mar- 
quette, whose  husband  poisoned  hirasi  If  on 
Monday  night,  married  again  Tuesday  mo  niug, 
before  her  dead  husband  was  fairly  cold.  This 
is  only  a  proof  of  the  btisiness-Uke  charac  ;er  of 
some  of  the  denizens  of  l^eadwood."  J\  n  ap- 
peal for  charity  in  behalf  of  the  poor  is  co  iched 
in  the  following  ornate  language  : 

"Miners,  men  of  wealth,  you  upon  who  n  the

Ver|y  few  of  the  business  men  of  Dea  Iwood 
have  anv  idea    that    this    is  their     "  a  pidinij 
city.*'    'fhe  stores  and  salcKms  are  put  up   n  .-iec- 
tio"ns,l  ready  to  take  apart  at   a  day  s  uotif  ;  and 
cart  ojff  to  be  set  up  again  for  like  service   n  the 
newest  mining  camp.      There  are    no    1  mies. 
Somemeu  have  their  families  here.   bui    they  ; 
generally  room  in  the  rear  of  the  store  an  1  lake 
their  meals  out.     They  all  seem  in  a  state  of  ex-  I 
pectancy.  as  if  waiting  for  the  ne.Kl  train       On  ' 
some  of  the   fertile  patches  on   Speartis  i    aud  | 
other  creeks,    small   ranches   have   bei*ii    estab-  j 
lished,  and  a  few   have   felt   located  »ulli(  ientlv  | 
to  try    market  garttening.   the  result  b  ing  a 
good'supplv  of  "truck"  at  all  the   bt<  c  erics

The  cost  of  living  here  is  on  a  decidedlj  slid- 
ing scale.  Some  of  tlic  hotels  have  pjt  dAvvti  to 
50  cents  for  a  *•  squan-nn'iil,"  or  will  take  you 
in  at  $10  per  week  without  beil,  and  the  sesUvU- 
rants  announce  their  ability  to  give  1  man 
a  meal  at  50  cents  or  $D,  as  he  may  elect]  But 
hotel  fare  is  uncertain,  especially  when  tttere  is 
no  flour  in.the  city,  as  happened  to  be  tile  case 
last  week.  The  several  varieties  of  hlcon — 
boiled,  broiled,  or  fried — in  that  case  fprmed 
the  chief  item  at  table,  with  a  stub  radish  or 
onion-top  to  give  ic  relish.  When  flour  ij  up  to 
$20  per  hundred,  or  $40  per  barrel,  {onBr  they 
don't  put  it  up  in  barrels  here.)  the  Ifikers" 
loaves  are  a  marvel  of  littleness.  The  inconven- 
ience of  being  far  away  from  a  good  base  of 
supplies  was  further  illii^^trated  a  fe\r  dafs  a.-^<* 
when  we  bad  to  pay  .$7  per  gallon  for  c|.il-oil. 
and  our  neighbors  up  at  Troy,  two  mileaaway. 
coiddn't  get  it  for  less  than  $1.'>.  Th-jse  nij^hts 
the  hotels  were  in  darkness,  the  stores  [closed 
early,  aud  at  the  theatres  two  or  three  lallow- 
candies,  some  that  a  party  of  campers  happened 
to  have,  did  duty  with  the  "  stars."  For  a  week 
or  so  matches  were  out.  Other  things  got 
scarce.  But  there  is  one  commoditf  that 
seems  to  be  always  plenty — I  mean  whisloF. 

Were  one  to  set  I  up  bou*ckeeping  h  -re  lie 
would  encounter  sotme  difficulty,  first,  n  the 
way  of  getting  a  hou.se  at  all;  second,  i:i  the 
matter  of  paying  at  the  rate  of  $25  per  nonth 
per  room,  and,  last,  but  not  least,  the  :  larket 
prices.  Run  over  the  list  and  see:  Flou|.  $20 
per  sack;  best  steaks,  30  cents  per 
vegetables.  15  to  20j cents  per  pound: 
$3  per  gallon.  If  you  put  your  washi 
the  festive  Chinaman,  who  is  here 
"  washee-house,"  charges  $3  per  dozen, 
servants,  if  you  cah  afford  the  luxury, 
able  one  can  be  had  at  $50  per  month 

There  is  not  much  law  or  order  in  |  Dead- 
wood.  Courts  have  just  beeu  establisbfd.  and 
the  city  is  policed  ;  but  the  Police  happea  to  be 
in  leagrue  with  the  gambler.s.  who  rule  the  towi 
and  so  criminals  are  apt  to  <:o  unwhippedjof  ju>- 
tice.|  The  saloon  men  refAse  to  pay  tleir  Li 
censes,  $100,  and  defy  the  law.  Claim  jtmpers 
and  town-lot  jumpers  have  things  prettf  much 
their  own  way.  The  streets  are  in  a  filtay  coti 
dition,  and  there  is  much  sickne'Ss.  Taliing  it 
all  in  all.  Deadwood  can  be  best  describtli  as 
disorderly,  sickly,  sinful  city.

\^iym  an  Occa^tmal  G»rrt$pondent  • 

Atlanta,  Ga.,  Tuesday,  Aug.  7, 1877. 
I  have  made  a  tour,  and,  like  th©  ven- 
erable Dr. '  Syntax,  111  writo  it  In  my 
tour  South  I  traveled  Georgia  from  north 
to  south,  stopping  here  and  there,  as 
fancy  elected,  to  see  the  sights.  Natural- 
ly, the  first  thing  to  attract  my  attention 
was  the  crops,  and  then  the  people  who  grew  the 
crops ;  and  although  in  many  cases  neither  made 
a  very  favorable  impression  upon  me,  I  think, 
geuerallyj, '  there  is  little  cause  for  dis- 
couragement What  moat  strikes  one  even 
casually  IS;  the  great  lack  of  thrift  and  enter- 
prise among  the  [people.  Great  barren  tracts 
lie  untiUed  and  untouched.  Everything  seems 
dull,  sluggish,  an4  almost  at  a  standstill.  Idlers 
Jhrong  the  city  thoroughfares,  and  the  cotintry 
railway  stations,  j  Nine-tenths  of  them  are  illit- 
erate and — t  almost  said  necessarily — enemies  of 
intellectual  and  other  advancement.  It  is  sur- 
prising to  find  how  superficial  is  the  education 
of  the  native  Southern  gentry.  They  can  read 
and  wrjtb,,  and  in  iVery  many  instances  do  both 
poorly.  |If  one  attempts  anything  like 
a  conversation!  on  science  or  litera- 
ture he  will  I  inevitably  find  himself 
talkins  to  iguoramu.ses  and  become  disgusted. 
And  so  also  in  politics.  Everybody  talks  pol- 
itics and  everybody  is  a  politician.  I  have  been 
througli  whole  counties  without  finding  a  single 
Republican  or  a  vpry  learned  Democrat,  and,  in 
their  high-tbned  and  arrogant  conversation,  it 
is  very,  verj-  difficult  to  swallow  some  of  their 
many  expressSoup.  The  tendency  here  seems 
to  be  toward  a  "solid  South,"  with  the  expecta- 
tion of  having  a  solid  North.  So  politicians 
and  political  papers  say,  but  to  me  there  seems 
to  be  growing  more  aud  more  every  day 
a  terrible  rent,  which  will  most  assuredly 
prove  fatal  to  the  solid  South  partisans.*  In  the 
Democratic  Party  here  there  is  a  large  element 
which  is  progressive,  and  also  a  large- element 
which  is  quite  the  contrary'  in  its  tendencies. 
This  latter,  or  Bourbon,  element  clings  tena- 
ciously to:  the  pfijst,  andin  the  solution  of  the 
necroqitestion — solved  as  it  is — they  give  up  all 
ideas  of  blavery,  but  want,  and  are  striving  for, 
an  ignoranti  tenantry.  Though  in  this  they  lose 
the  right  of  possession,  they  get  all  the  advan- 
tages of  Isliavery  Without  its  responsibilities  and 
disadvantages.  A  corresjwndent  of  yours  stated 
some  time  siiice  that  they,  the  Demo- 
crats, had;  the  |  negro  where  they  wanted 
him.  and  iu  truth  iu  many  places 
tliey  haVe.  ;  They  have  him  in  that  condition 
where  tnoy  can  d^tato  to  him.  For  instance, 
in  a  ceriiaiu  towui  in  the  State  the  colored  peo- 
ple refiise  to  se^id  their  children  to  school  if 
they  are  required  to  study  any  text-book 
other  than  "WebsterX  blue-back  speller.  Upon 
inquiry  it  has  be4u  found  that  this  refusal  was 
made  at  the  instigation  of  the  whites.  "See 
what  we  are  doinig  for  the  negro,"  they  say  to 
the  Nortl^em  yisitor.  They  provide  him 
schools,  biit  if  he  attempts  to  pass  beyond  a 
cert^n  iithit  he  must  be  restrained.  Those  of 
the  colore^  pet>  de  who  observe  this  state  of 
affairs  tire  disposed  to  separate  from  the  whites 
entirelji  and  thence  arises  that'«pirit  of  separa- 
tion on  color  lir  es  which  will,  if  permitted  to 
grow,  do  endless  harm. 

There  arethost  of  the  Democrats  who  favor 
a  more  general  a  id  more  thorough  education  of 
the  maisseS.  mm  they  favor  and  incite  this 
spirit  of  se|parati  311  which  1  have  mentioned. 
The  progressive  dement  is  certainly  the  peo- 
ple's eloniejut,  th)?  liberal  partv.  and  the  party 
which  must  and  will  rule.  They  increase  daily, 
and  areibecoming  more  important  anu  stronj^er. 
It  may  be  long  b-fore  they  jraiii  the  viotorj', 
but  gaiJi  I  it  tley  will.  The  status  quo  of 
partie'J  3s  their  ii'*ath.  and  the  party  that  op- 
poses uiiivi.Ts:il  advancement  cannot  live. 

Duriilig  Jaiy  stiy  iu  one  of  the  Southern  count 
tits  1  liad  tlie  honor  of  an  intioduction  ^J  a 
farmer.,  auI  also  to  two  of  four  hands  working 
for  hiih-  iHere  is  one  of  several  distressing 
thin^cs  i  learned  from  these  laborers:  A  couple 
of  yeari  aifo  they  agreed  to  work  for  this  farmer 
foronelhnif  the  crops,  this  one  half  to  be  di- 
vided i*qiiiilly  among  the  four.  Now,  during 
the  year  tlitr^e  f  >ur  men  and  families  were  fed 
and  clothed  froia  the  produce  of  the  farm,  the 
wonieui  weaving  th*-  cloth  for  their  own  and 
families'  use.  Taking  the  single  item,  cot- 
ton, at  the  end  of  the  year  they  hud 
ni:ide  ^3  ^niT*.  iveragin^  500  pounds'  each.

'  A  GOOD.  WORD  FOR  MISS  RTI 

The  Toronto  MaU  of  Friday  says:  **Miss 
Eye  was  in  town  yesterday  on  her  way  from  '  Jarrie  to 
the  Home  at  Niagara. .  She  complains  of  uuf  |ir  treat- 
ment at  the  hands  of  tjhe  Government  Boardl  in  Lon- 
don, and  Is  prepared  with  overwhelming  proof  of  the 
fact  that  a  very  small  percentile  of  the  children  she 
has  brought  over  since  1869  hare  gone  amiss.  '  Shb 
has  upward  of  500  photographs  of  girls  placed,  dur- 
incc  the  last  eight  years,  in  Canadian  homes,!  and  do- 
ing well  and  happily.  |  Mr.  Sclater  Booth's  opposition 
to  Miss  Bye's  praiseworthy  endeavors  is  unjccounta- 
ble  to  those  acquainted  with  the  comTMrativi  chances 
of  the  children  in  England,  whence  they  arejbrooght, 
and  in  Canada,  where,  their  nroRnac^  «re  iPipaeasuxT' 


si>  much  indeed  that  four  hands  could 
nd  to  it  all.  This  latter  fact  he  ex- 
to  them.  He  must  either  hire  more 
he  said,  or  induce  them  to  bring  their 
wives  tjo  assist  them.  Retaining  his  own  share 
of  one  hflilf,  if  he  hired  more  hands  the  other 
half  wc'uld  be  divided  into  a  greater  number  of 
shares.  an|d  smaller  ones,"  of  course.  To  pre- 
vent this  land  to  increase  their  own  shares  they 
must  get  their  wi^es  to  help  them.  •  Thcv  agreed 
to  thi^,  and  thus*  since  then,  he  has  had  the 
labor  of  ,  lour  hands,  women,  for  nothing, 
('he;ip  labpr,  isn't  it  f  You  may  ask  why  these 
p**opIu  remain  on  such  farms  under  such  cir- 
cunistances.  There  are  two  reasons.  First, 
b('i'ausi;  there  exists  a  sort  of  convention  among 
the  farmers  to  the  effect  that  no  one  of  them 
will  hire  at  any  price  any  man  who  has  left  auy 
one  of  [them  ;  aud  second,  as  in  this  particular 
case,  the  hands  and  their  families  have  all  they 
want  to  eat,  to  wear,  and  to  satisfy  all  their 
ru-=tic  ■tastes.  The  few  dollars  they  may  re- 
ceive tjhey  seldom  have  need  to  spend',  and  "thus 
$.'»  answers  fur  them  all  the  purposes  of  $500, 
Anoth|-r  reason  is  they  are  ignorant  In  these 
counties  and  parts  of  counties  there  is  little 
oducationl  Among  the  old  people  there  is 
none,  '  The  children  have  flrst-rate  school  ad- 
vantages for  three  mouths  of  the  year.  These 
schotd*  arje  public,  and  could  be  made  better  in 
many  ways.  If  they  get  other  advantages  dur- 
ing th(*  year,  they  do  so  at  private  schools,  at 
their  o\vn|e.NT>eiise,  and  often  witlTmuch  diffi- 
culty. I  Isay  it  is  difficult,  because  the  people, 
for  want  of  currency,  have  to  pay  in  produce, 
A;c,.  aud  this  of  course  few  care  to'  receive.  In 
some  of  !  the  cities  there  are  schools,  which 
are  in  luveiry  respect  better.  In  Atlanta  there 
are  three  schools  for  the  colored  children. 
Two  Ol  these  are  good,  and  have  good  teachers; 
but  tie  buUdings  are  not  at  all  fit  for  the  pur- 
pose. They  do  not  accommodate  all  the  chil- 
dren iu  I  the  city  who  would,  if  able,  attend 
school.  The  annual  appropriations  are  altogether 
too  smalt  .and  there  is  now  no  probability  of 
their  Ijeirig  made  larger.  The  third  school- 
house  disgraces  the  name.  An  oblong,  one-story 
frame  structure,  built  many  years  since  by  a 
poor  congregation  for  a  church,  is  now  a  school- 
fiou?^  where  colored  children  are  to  be  educated. 
Neverj  painted,  the  planks  of  the  weather-board- 
ing stand!  apart  at  intervals  of  an  inch,  more  or 
less,  n^aking  it  qttite  pleasant,  I  fancy,  iu  Simi- 
mer.  but  iust  the  contrary  in  Winter. 

In  Savannah  I  understand  the  school-houses 
are  better,  but  the  teachers  in  many  cases  are 
very  inferior,  particularly  the  Principals.  In 
Macon  the  advocates  of  negro  education  have 
burned  down  two  of  the  school -houses,  so  now 
they  arej  in  a  measure,  without  schools  iu  that 
city.  In  Augusta  they  had  good  schools,  but 
the  spiri|t  of  separation  which  has  grown  to 
an  alarming  extent  has  s^scceeded  in  repla- 
cing good  teachers  furnished  by  the  American 
Missionary  Association  with  colored  ones  who 
are  not  competent.  There  is  a  constant  cry 
there  now  for  better  teachers.  This  separating 
spirit  results  from  a  desire  to  be  entirely  inde^' 
pendent  of  the  whites,  the  thing  which  any 
rational  being  knows  is  impossible.  -  There  are 
colored  churches  here  which  exclude  white  visi- 
tors, and  admit  none  to  membership,  on  the 
ground  that  white  churches  .exclude  colored 
visitors  and  admit  none  to  membership  with 
themselves.  An  attempt  has  been  ^jnade  to 
establish  stores  with  the  intention  of  taking  idl 
tr&d^  of  colored  neonle  from  tjia  whites,  or.  in

Mr.  Lane,  ijidlor  at  Akron,  Ohio,  contributes 
to  the  Beactn^ift  tW  thriving  little  city,  the  follow- 
ing account  of  the  )ifeof  Ma)or  Selover:  "It may 
be  of  interest  to  some  of  the  readers  of  the  Btaeon  to 
know  that  the|  'CbL'  A.  A.  Selover  who  is  now 
fiuring  so  conspicuously  as  a  Wall-street  operator, 
and  who  recently  so  savagely  assaulted  Jav  Gould,  ts 
the  same  red-headed  Abia  A.  Selover  who  studied 
law  for  a  year  or  two  In  the  office  of  the  late  Gen.  L. 
V.  Bierce,  In  this  citv,  some  30  years  ago.  He  ia 
a  native  of  Cleveland,  his  father  oeine  one 
the  early  hotel-keepers  of  that  city.  After  leaving 
the  office  of  Gen.  Bierce  young  Selover  returned  to 
Clevejand,  where  he  remained,  without  amounting  to 
'any  stated  sum,'  until  the  California  fever  broke 
out  In  1849,  when  he  turned  his  face  toward  the 
Pacific  coast,  where  the  writer  often  met  him  during 
the  two  years  |of  his  sojonxn  there,  from  1850  to 
1852,  and.  retnming  from  San  Fiincisco  to  New- 
York  upon  the  bame  vessel  with  him  in  the  Fall  of 
the  latter  yearJ  In  1850  Selover  was  the  proprietor 
of  a  fine  large  jboilding  on  the  east  side  of  the  Plaza, 
iu  San  Francisco,  from  which  almost  fabulous  rents. 
were  received  from  the  giunblers  and  whieky-Rellers 
by  whom  it  was  occupied,  and  he  was  reputed  very 
wealthy.  ButJ  at  |  the  time  of  his  return  to  New- 
York,  as  stated,  his  fortunes  were  understood  to  be  at 
a  rather  low  epb,  and  from  the  peculiar  nature  of  the 
man,  as  well  a^  of  the  business  which  he  follows,  it 
is  probable  that  the  '  Colonel '  has  had  many  ups  and 
downs  in  the  ihtervenhig  quarter  of  a  century.  His 
old  acquaiutaiices  j  here  and  in  Cleveland  will  watch

XTNITED]  STATJSS  FOVR  PER  CENT,  Xc/^iV. 
The  LondjOn  World  of  Aug.  1  says,  :  *'  We 
have  been!  well  aware  for  some  weeks  past  of  fhe 
complaints  which  are  nuide  relative  to  the  manner 
in  which  i  the  English  syndicate  are  patting  the 
United  ^tat^  4  per  cent,  loan  upon  the  market. 
These  coiaplai^ts  jcbiefiy  affect  the  house  of  Roth- 
schilds, and  th^y  amount  to  this— that  the  Rotbachilds 
induce  brokeU  to  io  straight  to  them  for  any  bontls 
they  mayJwani.  by  offering  them  a  trifle  over  and 
ahove  the  cbihmission  thev  would  receive  if  they 
went  upt^n  |'<phaiige  in  the  regular  way,  and 
dealt  Ithrough  ■;  the  'jobbers.'  As  between 
brokers  and  Jobbiers,  the  pnbhc  would  not  care  a 
straw  about  the  matter ;  but  in  the  end,  of  course, 
the  extra  comihission,  whatever  it  may  amount  to, 
comes  out  of  the  jpockets  of  investors'  in  the  bonds. 
For  the  broker  pays  the  highest  price  openly  quoted, 
and  makes  no  efifort  to  drive  a  better  bargfiin  for  his 
customer,!  or|  IcUent.'  as  the  broker  prefers  to  call 
him.  We  db  not;  think  the  syndicate  can  afford  to 
make  the  ccmditijous  of  the  new  loan  less  inviting 
than  thdyi  arqj  Many  people  think  that,  considering 
how  relatively  sm^  a  proportion  of  this  loan  has 
been  taken  i  up  In  tlie  Lnited  States,  and  how 
loud  isl  I  thie  clamor  of  the  'silver  party.'  4

to  tempi  av0ry  large  outliy  hi  the  bonds.  Scarcely 
any  of  t^^  Icia^  has  been  taken  In  the  Western  or 
Southern  States,  j  An  attempt  to  force  it  to  a  pre- 
mium here  at  the  present  moment  will  fail.  As  for 
imputing  anyth  lug  in  the  nature  of  *  sharp  practice' 
to  the  B<4hschUds.  that  Is  mere  folly.  The  charac- 
ter of  th«  bouse  is  a  sufficient  gtiarantee  that  the 
rules  of  busini^ss  will  be  adhered  to.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  character  of  som«  of  its  assailants  will  not 
bear  scrutiny  kt  cjose  quarters.  We  may  reasonably 
doubt  whether  the  Rothschilds  would  act  in  a  dis- 
honorable mjaiinei; ;  there  is  no  room  for  doubt  on 
that  point  ii^  ifeference  to  certain  of  their  critics.

THE  ESoLtSn ARTIFICIAL  FLOWER  TRADE 
The  PaltlSfall  Gazette  of  Aug.  1  says  :  '•  Mr. 
Redgrave,  tpe  Inspector  of  Factories,  meutiuns  iu  his 
lialf-yearly  ^port,  just  is-i'-ed,  that  he  has  been  in- 
formed by  one  employer  in  the  artificial  flower  trade 
that  the  eai-nings  of  the  work-people  have  increased 
from  20  to  !>0  per  cent,  in  his  experience.  English- 
made  flo  Wei  s  command  a  much  higher  price  in  the 
market  than  they  did  formerly,  but  the  manufac- 
tnrers  have  !it)ll  to  follow  In  the  wtike  of  Paris  for 
'style  and  fashion.'  In  uo  trade  is  it  more  impor- 
tant for  tho  le  engaged  in  it  to  possess  an  educated 
tast**.  and  b,  young  womau  who  possesses  it.  with 
a  fair  [  amount  of  practical  skill  In  the 
mampulatiau  of  the  materials,  can  make  most  excel- 
lent wages.'  Artificial  flower  making  is.  says  Sir, 
Redgrav6,  due  of  the  branches  of  English  manufac- 
ture which  felt  the  influence  of  protection  up  to  the 
latest  diiteJ  The  protective  duty  upon  foreign  arti- 
licial  flowerp  was  abolished  Iu  I860,  and  for  a  year 
or  two  the  trade  was  so  greatly  depressed  that  many 
of  tho8e|en^figed  in  it  never  hoped  to  see  a  revivaj. 
When  the  Factorv  Acts  Extension  act  was  passed, 
however.  It  had  thoroughly  revived,  and  was  being 
carried  on  In  London  on  a  larger  scale  than  ever 
before  experienced.  The  bugbear  of  foreign  com- 
petition rtais  still  in  the  minds  of  the  em- 
ployers wl(ien  the  restrictive-  regulations  wei^ 
enforced,  and  it  was  wttli  grave  misgiving  that  their 
influence  wja^  anticipated.  During  the  past  Winter 
the  trade  has  beeu  dull,  in  common  with  all  branches 
of  manufacturing  industry,  but  relatively  artificial 
fiower  m.ikiujg  is  now  earned  ou  in  this  country  more 
successful! V  and  on  a  larger  scale  than  it  was  ever 
known  to  tf^  before.  Before  the  abolition  of  protec- 
tion English  artificial  flowers  were  ugly  monstrosi- 
ties, showing  neither  skill  nor  taste  in  their  produc- 
tion. Nowj  notwithstanding  the  keen  competition 
of  both  Frepch  and  Germans.  English  manufacttu^rs, 
price  consifiered,  successfully  hold  their  own,  and 
the  work-people  during  the  last  10  years  have 
shared  iu  thei  general  advance  which  has  taken  place 
in  the  remuneration  paid  to  women." 


MR.  MURPHY  AT  FAIR  POINT 


THE  MO^iUMENT  TO  COL.  R.  L.  WCOOK.

of  the  Ninth  Ohio  Regiment,  will  be  placed  in  posi- 
tion In  Washington  Park  on  the  iJSd  inst.,  with  ap- 
propriate ceremonies.  In  the  bust,  which  was  carved 
by  C,  Leoi^ld  Fetweiss,  Jr.,  Col.  McCook  is  repre- 
sented in  tlie  undress  uniform  of  a  Colonel,  with  the 
overcoat  thrown  open  and  back.  The  Western  roll- 
ing shirt-collar  and  plain  knot  tie  complete  the  dres,<i. 
The  face  is  smooth,  the  long,  abundant  hair  parted 
on  the  right  side  and  thrown  back.  The  features  are 
strongly  marked,  and  have  a  keen,  determined  ex- 
pression; as  if  in  the  act  of  command.  The  angular 
jaw  and  firm  set  mouth  contribute  to  the  Impression 
of  determination  stamped  upon  the  face,  which  is  ap- 
provingly vouched  for  as  an  excellent  likeness  by  the 
surviving  prothers  of  the  favorite  commander.  The 
bust  will  rest  on  a  square  pedestal  of  gray  granite, " 
12  feet  hi^,  malting  the  whole  height  over  15  feet. 
The  panels  of  the  pedestal  are  polished.  The  monu-

stars,  in  bfis-relief.  the  number  of  States  in  the  Union

the  acorn— the  emblem  of  the  Fourteenth  Army 
Corps,  to  which  the  regiment  belonged,"

The  Montreal  Witness  of  Thursday  says : 
'UI!ontimied  Inquiries  show  that  there  are  a  very 
large  ntunber  of  tmemployed  workingmeu  in  the

just  got  work,  and  'hadn't  tasted  meat  for  s  month

Massachusetts  papers  say  that  the  State  de- 
tectives, who  have  been  going  among  the  tramps  for 
the  ptirpose  of  learning  bow  to  deal  with  them,  re- 
port that  their  observations  thtis  far  convince  them 
that'-tbe  great  body  of  tramps  are  prof^sional 
thieves.  Occasionally  one  travels  by  himself,  b^t 
theyi^neraliy  form  into  gangs  for  a  few  daya  or  long- 
er under  the  direction  of  a  chief,  and  have  their  du- 
ties assigned  them,  who  are  to  beg  to  day  and  who 
to-morrow,  and  what  places  are  to  be  broken  into. 
It  is  suspected  tke  tramps  hav«  a  general  head-qtur-

If  there  is  any  one  thing  that  Americans  can 
do  better  than  another  it  is  to  hnitate.  There  la 
never  anything  either  valiuble,  pretty  or  pleasant 
but  that  in  time  the  Yankee  intellect  will  bring  ont  a 
cheap  and  often  a  tolerably  fair  substitate  therefor. 
The  lady  purchases  a  fine  and  costly  diamond  set,  and 
has  the  pleastire  of  wearing  ft  just  once,  when 
Bridget  appears  with  one  of  Alaska  formation 
purchased  at  the  dollar  f  tore,  which  no  one  except 
an  expert  can  tell  from  the  other.  A  very  few  years 
ago  watering  places  began  to  be  imitated  and  the 
rage  extended  ah  over  the  nation,  Chautauqua  Lake 
being  one  of  the  cheap  though  really  valuable  pro- 
duets.  Pair  Point  was  the  last  spot  on  the  lake  to  be 
selected,  and  fotur  years  ago  but  a  single  unpreten- 
tious cottasre  broke  the  forest  solitude.  Now  there  la 
a  village  here  .which,  like  all  fast  growing  places, 
callsitself  a  city,  and  not  without  cause,  for  it  has  a 
palace  hotel,  a  fire  department,  Metropolitan 
Police,  a  d^y  paper,  and  300  cottages,  besides 
many  tents. 

The  Sabbath-school  Assembly,  which  purchased 
75  acres  of  wilderness  land  here  and  built  up  the 
town  for  the  purposes  of  its  association,  controls 
everything.  Its  President,  Lewis  Miller,  Esq.,  is 
here  "  a  bigger  man  than  old  Grant,"  everything 
being  imder  his  direct  supervision  and  absolute  sway. 
Mr.  Miller  is  a  Methodist,  and  so  are  all  people  here 
except  lookers-on.  This  might,  be  taken  for  granted, 
for  no  people  except  those  who  have  made  camp- 
meetings  successful  would  ever  dream  of  this  pecu- 
har  method  of  combining  the  pleasures  of  a  water- 
ing place  with  the  advantages  of  a  religiotts  meeting. 
Here,  alternating  between  a  dip  iu  the  clear,  blue 
waters  of  the  lake  and  a  dip  into  theological  thoughts, 
a  three  weeks'  sojourn  may  be  made  most  delightful. 
The  feature  of  the  Assembly  of  most  interest  thus 
far  has  been  the  sessions  of  the  Reform  Council, 
which  was  engaged  in  the  consideration  of  temper- 
anee  work.  The  principal  attractions  in  this  hue 
have  been  Francis  Murphy  and  John  B,  Qongh.  The 
latter,  just  approaching  his  sixtieth  birthday,  is  the 
same  as  he  was  2U  years  ago,  and  nothiligthat  I  could 
say  wotdd  be  of  special  intorest  to  a  public  which 
knows  him  perhaps  better  than  I,  Still,  his  lecture 
on  "  Temperance  "  which  always  begins  with,  "  I 
don't  expect  that  I  can  bring  to  you  anything  strange 
or  startling  on  this  old,  worn,  hackneyed  theme  of 
temperance,"  &c.,  is  invariably  amusing  and  some- 
times Interesting,  and  his  "  Orators  andEloquence  " 
is  worth  hearing  twice.  Both  these  he  has  delivered, 
and  now  he  has  gone. 

Francis  Jflurphy  is  not  by  any  means  so  well  known 
to  the  public,  and  his  lecture  was  the  event  of  the 
session.  The  curiosity  was  great  to  see  and  hear  the 
Irish  reformer  who  has  within  the  past  few  months 
given  his  name  to  a  sect  of  quondam  bmnmers 
•■  saved  by  the  ^race  of  God,"  The  people  Were  very 
much  pleased  with  his  address,  and  nis  friends  here 
are  numbered  by  scores  ;  still  it  is  apparent  that  the 
man's  forte  lies  in  addressing  drunkards  and  holding 
meetings  for  their  con ven>ion  rather  than  m  lecturing 
to  large  audiences  of  avowed  temperance  people.  The 
story  of  his  life,  as  related,  is  of  interest,  to  be  sure, 
but  his  harangue  and  exhortation  are  of  little  force 
in  such  instances.  He  is,  indeed,  a  man  like  Moody 
and  other  lay  preachers,  big  with  the  sense  of  his 
mission,  possessing  a*  powerful  constitution,  mnch 
magnetism,  great  hopefulness,  and  an  mdomitable 
will.  These,  combined  with  his  Irish  versa- 
tility and  ready  wit,  make  up  the  man. 
Besides,  he  is  a  ferveut  Methodist  and 
an  incessant  baud-shaker,  1  hinking  that  your  read- 
ers mteht  be  interested  in  hearing  this  peculiar  man 
talk  a  little  in  regard  to  uis  hopes  and  future  plans.  X 
had  a  long  convt^rsation  with  hiui  the  other  day. 
Taking  a  seat  on  one  of  the  rustic  benches  near  the 
water's  edge,  where  the  ripples  from  the  passing  tugs 
and  steamers  swept  high  up  on  the  sand,  the  follow- 
ing conversation  took  place  ; 

Reporter — Do  you  propose  to  continue  your  work 
ou  tlie  same  plan  as  it  has  been  begun  ? 

Mr.  Murphy— ^Exactly  so.  It  has.  under  God,  been 
a  great  success,  and  I  am  confident  that  it  may  yet 
be  made  mure  so. 

Reporter — But  you  can't  go  everywhere  and  preach 
this  gospel  of  reform.  ,  How  do  you  expect  to  have  it 
spread  ? 

Mr.  Murphy — I  am  enlisting  young  men  everj'- 
whore  I  can  find  them  of  the  nght  kind.  When  a 
man  siifiw  the  pledge  and  makes  up  his  mind  to  tri-, 
^under  (rod,  lo  keep  it.  I  immediately  make  him' talk 
"about  it.  and  about  the  second  or  third  time  be  speaks 
•  I  announce  him  for  the  principal  man  at  a  meeting. 
I  tell  him  to  tell  the  people  how  his  wife 
aud  his  children  and  himself  suffered,  and 
how  he  spent  all  :  his  money  on  Saturdav 
night  befor«*  he  came  home.  and  then 
told  his  poor,  discouraged  wife,  when  he  arrived  homt- 
late  at  night,  that  he  had  l>een  delayed  and  the  firm 
for  which  ho  worked  could  not  pay' him,  and  thus  he 
got  In  debt  and  his  wife  got  worse  and  more  discour- 
aged and  everything  was  wrong.  \Vhen  It  is  an- 
nounced that  this  man  will  speak,  his  old  associates. 
with  a  peculiar  turn  of  the  large  tobacco  quid  in  their 
months  and  a  wink  of  the  besotted  eye.  say  to  each 
other:  "Bill  Is  going  to  make  a  temperance  lecture 
to-night  :  let's  go."  And  they  do  go.  and  they  arrange 
themselves  right  In  front  of  the  stand  to  scare  him, 
you  see. 

Reporter— Dtm't  these  men,  thus  put  forward, 
break  dowii  in  their  speeches  t 

Mr.  Murphy — Not  often.  A  man  can  tell  the  sini- 
plu  story  oi  his  follies,  as  I  have  told  you  :  and  when  he 
rises  to  do  so,  and  is  introduced  by  some  kind  words, 
he  makes  a  great  effort,  andas  he  g'oesoa  with  the  rela- 
tion of  one  foolish  and  sinful  act  after  another,  his 
friends  hunch  each  other  and  say.  "that's-  so,  Tom. 
That's  just  the  way  we  all  on  us'  do  ;  Bill  knows  just 
how  it  is.  He  is  happy  now.  Did  you  hear  'im  say  as 
how  happy  his  wife  is.  and  he  says  bis  children  run  to 
meet  him,  now  he  is  sober,  when  he  comes  home. 
Let's  us  try  it  and  see  if  our  wives  and  children  will 
do  as  his  do."  In  this  wa'v,  don't  you  see,  the  work 
of  these  men  is  very  effective. 

Reporter — You  intend  that  these  men  shall  do  the 
work,  then  i 

ilr.  Murphy — .\  large  part  of  it.  I  shall  do  all  I 
can  so  long  as  God  lets  me  live.  But  the  great  work 
I  expect  to  have  done  by  an  army  of  workers,  who 
shall  go  over  the  country,  from  Maine  to  California, 
(I  started  In  Maine.)  aud  preach  the  Gh?spel 
to  the  lost,  I  *liave  had  invitations  to  go 
to  New- York,  Chicago,  Cincinnati.  Baltimore. 
Boston,  and  many  .other  lai-ge  cities  of  the 
country.  1  liave  not  decided  where  I  shall  go 
yet,  and  don't  want  to  decide,  I  am  not  atall  desirous 
of  making  announcements  beforehand.  The  pfepa- 
rations  then  are  too  elaborate,  and  I  don't  like  to 
work  bj'other  men's  plaus.  They  are  too  grand,  and 
consist  in  too  much  announcing.  < 

Reporter — How  long  have  you  been  speaking  upon 
the  subject  of  temperance  f 

Mr.  Murphy — In  m^  weak  way  ever  since  I  was 
made  a  free  uuui  in  18^1,  I  then  began  in  a  very 
feeble,  stammering  way  to  pray  and  to  speak.  At 
first  T  would  get  away  up  in  the  comer,  where  I 
thought  as  few  as  possible  wouldsee  me,  and  I  talked 
as  low  as  possible,  but  I  grew  iu  grace,  God  helping 
me. 

Reporter — You  mentioned  in  one  of  your  speeches 
here  the  death  of  your  wife.  How  long'  ago  did  that , 
happen  i 

.  Mr.  Murphy — Sixvearsago.  But  tome  she  is  nrit  dead 
yet.  She,  poor,  faltluul,  dearaoul.only  livedthreeweeks 
after  I  signed  the  pledge.  I  had  thought  that  I  should 
never  marry  again,  but  I  feel  now,  considering  the 
condition  of  my  family,  that  if  I  could  find  a  good 
woman  that  I  could  love,  and  whom  I  tliought  would 
take  good  care  of  nnr  children,  I  would  askner  to  be- 
come Mrs.  Frank  Murphy. 

It  was  now  time  for  the  boat  to  start  which  was 
to  carry  the  reformer  to  his  new  field  of  work,  viz., 
the  camp-meeting  at  Cazenoria,  and,  taking  a  long 
and  hearty  parting  shake  of  my  hand,  he  hastened 
away. 

The  principal  attraction  at  the  auditorium  to-day 
was  the  lecture  of  Rev,  Joseph  Cook,  of  Boston. 
This  orator,  who  has  received  so  much  notice  and 
praise  during  the  past  few  months,  is  a  truly  remark- 
able man.  The  fame  of  his  Boston  lectures  last 
Winter  induced  the  management  to  bring  him  here ; 
and.  judging  from  the  first  lecture,  they  could  not 
have  done  "better.  In  his  introductions  he  is  re- 
ported as  almost  invariably  illustrating  his  subject 
by  some  current  political  topic.  His  lecture  to-day 
thus  touched  upon  communism,  &c: 

'"We  are  assembled  to-day  on  the  edge  of  a  hardly- 
quenched  volcano.  Our  land  has  twice  been  washed 
in  blood  in  the  first  century  ot  Its  existence,  and  yet 
within  the  last  fortnight  we  have  suffered  from  three 
things-:  A  wide-spread  strike  of  low-paid  labor, 
a  riot  of  the  roughs  and  the  aneoks,  and 
a  grand,  masterly  self-defense.  [Applause.  ] 
Our  fathers  thought  that  our  safety  con- 
sisted in  the  diffusion  of  libertv.  Very 
well ;  we  have  diffusion  of  liberty,  and  we  Iiave  not 
found  safety  in  that  alone.  Some  of  our  fathers  said 
it  would  be  necessary  for  us  to  diffuse  iutelligence, 
smd  we  have  diffused  that  as  no  other  uatlon  ever  has 
done,  and  yet  we  are  not  safe. ,  And  now  it  begins  to 
be  whispered  that  safe  republicanistn  must  con- 
sist not  only  in  diffusion  of  liberty  and 
a  diffusion  of  intelligence  but  in  a  diffusion  of 
propertj*.     The  self-respect   of  ownership  will  make

8TRVQGLB  WITH  BURGLARS, 
Two  enterprising  btir^ars  effected 'an  en- 
trance into  the  mhiexml  water  factory  of'SIessrs. 
Bohn  &  Byrne,  at  No.  419^Eaat  Hfty-fonrth-itreet, 
at  2  o'clock  yesterday  morning.  Their  operations 
were  so  qxdet  that  the  watchman,  George  S^th,  who 
was  m  bed,  did  not  hear  them  tmtil  they  entered  his 
room.  He  then  endeavored  to  give  aa  alarm.  Tfa& 
robbers  seized  and  gagged  him.  His  strug^ea 
were  so  violent,  howeverT^that  the  gag  fellSraa 
his  mouth,  and  he  shouted  for  help.  One  of 
the  men  seized  a  wooden  mallet  and  Struck 
him  upon  the  head,  knocking  him  insensible.  Very 
soon  after  this  they  must  have  become  alarmed  at 
some  occtirrence  outside  the  building,  for.  when 
Smith  revived,  he  found  evidences  that  the  burglars 
had  departed  in  haste.  Nothing  had  been  removed 
from  the  ofllce,  but  a  safe,  containing  quite  a  large 
sum  of  money,  had  two  holes  bored  in  it.  On  the 
floor  of  the  office  was  a  set  of  burglars'  tools,  and  iu 
the  yard  the  watchman  found  a  bottle  of  powder. 
The  ease  was  reported  to  the  Police  of  the  Nineteenth 
Precinct,  but  no  clue  to  the  btu-glara  has  been  ob- 
tained. 

KEOLECT  AXD  DRIXK, 
James  Farmer  returned  to  his  home,  at  the 
comer  of  Eleventh-street  and  Avenue  C,  late  on  the 
night  of  Sunday,  Aug.  5,  and  finding  the  door  of  his 
house  locked,  he  attempted  to  effect  an  entrance  by  a 
window.  An  officer  of  th#  Eleventh  Precinct  saw 
nim,  and  beUeving  him  to  be  a  burglar, 
arrested  him.  Farmer  made  a  determined 
resistance,  and  the  officer  clubbed  him 
on  the  head  and  body.  He  was  then  locked  up, 
Upon  beiue  brought  to  the  Essex  Market  Police 
Cuurt  he  was  dlsehiirged.  On  Friday  last  he  was 
again  arrested,  his  w&e  charging  him  with  disorderly 
conduct.  He  was  confined  in  a  cell  at  Essex  ilar- 
ket.  On  Saturday  night  it  was  found  that 
the  wounds  inflicted  upon  liim  on  the  previous  Sun- 
day ni^t  had  not  been  attended  to.  and  that  gan- 
Sene  nad  set  in.  He  was  removed  to  Bellevue 
ospital  last  night,  where  he  lies  in  a  precarious 
condition, 

COST  OF  FIXDIXG  A  HORSE-PISTOL. 
M*hen  Henry  Reilly  found  an  ancient  horse- 
pistol  in  a  vacant  lot  some  eight  months  ago,  he 
probably  did  not  suppose  that  it  would  be  the  means 
of  placing  him  face  to  face  with  a  Police  Justice. 
Nevertheless  it  had  that  effect,  and  the  meeting  took 
place  yesterday  morning  in  Justice  Kasmire's  Court, 
Fifty-seventh-'street,  Reilly  was  charged  with  having 
fired  the  pistol  from  his  window  on  the  previous 
night,  but  the  charge  seemed  to  him  p^posterotis. 
* '  Fire  it !  X  never  tired  it  in  me  life,  your  Honor. 
The  children  have  it  to  fire  fire-crackers  with."  But 
the  pistol  lay  on  the  desk,  and  tlie  Judge,  doubting 
possibly  whether  the  man  had  anv  children  as  large 
as  the  pistol,  said :  "  You  are  fined  $10  for  being  in- 
toxicated." •*  In  me  own  house  T'  demanded  Reillv. 
and  the  reply  "  Yes,  and  for  firing  the  pistol,"  made 
room  for  the  n^xt  case. 


erty  as  far  as  natural  law  will  allow  it  to  be,  spread 
broadcast  through  the  community,  every  man  having 
what  he  can  earn,  and  keep  no  more,  there  will  vet 
be  another  diffusion,  for  I  feel  sure  that 
safe  republicanism  consists  in  diffusion  of 
liberty,  diffusion  of  intelligence,  difi^laion  of 
property,  aud  diffusion  of  conscientiousness.  These 
fcpir  things— liberty,  intelligence,  property,  con- 
scientiousness— ^unless  we  can  saturate  AjDoeriea 
with  them  she  ne\-er  will  be  clay  soft  enough  for  the 
hands  of  the  potter,  that  is,  for  the  hands  of  the  aver- 
age  multitude.  With  the  diffusion  of  conscientious- 
ness we  con  have  a  diffusion  of  property,  of  intelli- 
gence, and  of  liberty  that  sluul  be  sale.  *  •  * 
There  is  to  me  no  hope  for  America  unless  we 
give  up  the  pet  theory  of  onr  fathers, 
that  the  diffusion  of  liberty  is  enou|^  fr^  repnbU- 
canism.  The  diffusion  of  tntelligence  and  property, 
fair  wages,  after  fair  rates  have  been  paid  to  capital, 
and  then  diffusion  of  conscientlousuess,  and  nothing 
short  of  this  will  save  America  from  the  evil  we 
have  seen  burst  forth  all  the  way  from  Baltimore  to 
Sau  Francisco.  Iu  the  Church  is  the  siuCe^  of  re- 
pubhcanlsm."

IXCOXVEXIEXCE  OF  RED  TAPE. 
The  Bristol  (Penn.J  Observer  instances  the  fol- 
lowing as  an  illustration  of  the  apiwrently  useless 
inconvenience  sometimes  caused  by  the  requirement 
of  a  compliance  with  the  forms  of  law  in  the  settle- 
ment of  estates  :  "In  Rockhill  township  a  son,  an 
only  child,  and  sole  heir  of  the  property  of  his  wid- 
owed mother,  upon  her  death  was  reqcdred  to  take 
out  letters  of  administration,  the  same  as  if  there 
were  other  heirs.  Although  there  are  no  debts  to 
pay  and  no  accounts  to  collect,  he  had  to  buy  an  ac- 
count book,  in  which  to  record  expenses  and  re- 
ceipts. He  nad  to  give  security  in  the  stun  of 
$12.0O0  that  be  wo\ild  honestly  settle  the  estate  and  - 
pay  it  to  the  heirs,  of  which  he'  is  the  only  one  :  that 
IB,  that  he  would  honestly  pay  himself.  He  had  to 
get  two  men  t«  appraise  the  property,  the  pn>oeeds 
of  which  are  to  go  to  him.  All  this  proved  an  ex- 
pense to  him  of  $75  to  $100. 

A  FIELD  OF  FLOWERS. 
The  Trenton  (N.J.)  Gaztitiv  enthusiastically 
says:  "  Travelers  on  the  railroad  are  charmed  and 
surprised  at'a  floral  display  near  Lawrence  Station. 
At  the  stream  and  mill-pond  near  that  place  there 
are,  on  both  sides  of  the  railroad,  several  acres  of 
brilliant  red  flowers,  lar^r  than  hollyhocks,  which 
they  somewhat  resemble.  They  grow  upon  a  stalk 
three  or  four  feet  high,  having  broftd  leaves.  The 
flowers  are  so  thickly  massed  as  to  present  an  almost 
unbroken  surface  of  bloom,  and  the  effect  is  bril- 
U.int  in  the  extreme.  These  Qowers  have  been 
spreading  at  that  place  for  several  years,  TVe  re- 
member when  there  was  but  a  smalt  cluster  of  them. 
Now  thei^.are  several  acres.  We  do  not  know  the 
name  of  the  flower.  We  never  saw  any  like  it  ex- 
cept in  the  swamps  of  the  South.  The'  largest  and 
finest  display  is  on  the  left  hand  side  of  the  railroad 
going  north,  about  five  miles  from  this  city." 

A  JULY  ITEM  FROM  THE  WEST. 
The  Georgetown  (Col.)  Mhier  of  the  4th  inst. 
says :  "  To  Mr.  John  T.  ililler  of  Montezuma,  be- 
longs the  honor  of  having  brought  over  the  first  team 
and  wagon  this  season  across  the  highest  pass  in  the 
United  States.  He  left  Montezuma  Saturday  morn- 
ing. July  '2S.  at  8  o'clock,  and  at  '.i  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon he  had  his  team  in  the  stable  in  Georgetown. 
Before  he  started  he  could  have  taken  bets  of  $4  to 
$1  that  it  would  take  him  three  da>*a  to  make  the 
trip.  Of  course  it  is  no  trick  tobring  a  wagon  over 
when  the  road  is  open  ;  but  you  see  when  Mr'  Miller 
came  over  the  road  had  not  vet  been  opened.  He 
followed  the  trail  generally,  but  sometimes  struck 
out  boldly  across  fields  of  tmbroken  snow.  It  was  a 
trjing  trip,  however,  both  on  driver  and  team,  not- 
withstanding the  fact  that  it  was  made  in  good  time 
and  without  accident." 


A  C AX  DID  ATE  FOR  THE  LASH. 
The  Virgiuia  (Nev,)  Enterprise  of  the  4tU 
inst.  says  :  "  The  inmates  of  a  certain  lodging-hotise 
in  this  city  were,  a  few  nights  since,  made  wretched 
and  indignant  by  the  abuse  of  a  child  by  its  father. 
The  child  was  but  a  babe,  some  16  months  old.  The 
infant  cried  iu  the  night,  and  the  unnatural  father, 
declaring  that  he  would  '  break  the  child  of  that  tem- 
per it  got  from  its  mother,'  commenced  whipping  it 
about  2  A.  !M.,  and  kept  up  the  whipniiu;  at  short  in- 
tervals until  5  A.  M.,  trti fling  the  chilu's  cries  by  put- 
ting his  hand  over  its  mouth,  and  forcing  the  misera- 
ble mother  to  listen  in  agony,  but  not  permitting  her 
to  interfere.  The  ladies  in  the  house  were  n,earlv 
frantic,  but  did  not  dare  to  go  to  the  child's  rescue.^'. 

A  BJTSIX ESSLIKE  GEXTLEMaX. 
The  Indianapolis  Sentinel  tells  this :    "  An  in 

S:eTo;4er.y."iris  'thiS^LrXow":"^  «uiS^      )-ll«--'  -^  *"-  ^"'^  P*'--  --«  'o  ^h"  city 
enough  to  believe  that  when  we  have  diffused  prop-    /yesterday  morning  over  the  Pan  Handle   Road.    Af- 


ter alighting  from  the  coach  to  change  cars  he  was 
addressed  by  a  hnstness-like  gentleman  as  follows : 
•Where  are  von  going  ?'  '  To  Kansas  City.  Mo.,'  he 
replied.  •  Have  you  a  ticket  ?  If  so,  let  me  see  it,' 
said  the  other  fellow.  The  passenger  promptly 
handed  the  ticket  over  to  the  business-like  man.  who 
examined  it  Gainfully,  and  then  turned  and  hurried 
off.  It  was  but  a  few  minutes  afterward  when  the 
traveler  discovered  that  a  common  piece  of  paper 
had  been  returned  to  him,"

Speculation  in  j  the  Gold  Boom  was  dull 
throughout  the  week,  and  the  market  presented 
no  feature  of  importance.  The  price  !  luctuated 
between  105il<2  and  IO5I4,  the  latter  luotation 
ruling  toward,  the  close.  It  is  cone  ided-  that 
the  future  course  of  the  market  will  be  i^vemed 
a  good  deal  by  the  operations  of  the  S  jrndicate. 
There  was  a  rather  active  demand  for  cash 
Gold,  and  daily  loans  were  reported  it  flat  to 
4  ¥  cent,  for  use. 

Qovemment  t>onds  were  in  the  main:  firm.  At 
times  during  the  week  the  demand  kas  quite 
active,  and  some  ronnd  amounts  were  paken  for 
investment  by  financial  institutions.  Another 
caU  for  $10,000,000  5-20s  by  the'-Trfeasury  is 
expected  this  week.  The  Syndicate  have  made 
settlements  with  the  Treasury  for  {he  4  If 
cent  bonds  to  the  ex^nt  of  $50,000|000.  It 
is  expected  that  the  remaining  $25, 
$26,000,000  recently  negotiated  in 
try  and  at  London  will  speedily  be 
by  the  Syndicate  without  disturbance 
the  money  or  gold  markets.  In  rail' 
gages  a  fairly  active  investment  bus: 
reported,  the  Western  issues  and  N 
Central  bonds  attracting  considerable 
St.  Louis  and  Iron  Mountain  Firsts 
the  greater  portion  of  the  decline  of 
on  the  payment  of  the  Augrust  interelt.  State 
bonds  were  very  quiet,  and  the  fluctuations 
were  alight  in  the  entire  list. 

The.«tock  speculation  was  characterized  by 
weakness  early  in  the  week,  but  later  the  mar- 
ket exhibited  decided  evidences  of  strength, 
and  an  advance  in  prices  was  recorded  hn  which 
the  entire  list  participated.  The  Granger  stocks 
and  the  trunk  shares  were  conspicuous  in  the 
improvement,  the  expectation  of  a  large  Fall 
business  for  the  roads  stimulating  purchases. 
"Western  Union  was  prominent  in  the  dealings, 
and  its  course  was  watched  with  intense  inter- 


terest,  some  of  the  heaviest  operator; 
Street  being  believed  to  be  largely  int(

A  XEW  REMEDY  FOR  SEASIOKXESS. 
A  writer  in  the  LoDdon  Court  Circular  of  July 
28  says  :  '*  I  have  heard  of  chloroform  being  tried 
with  success  In  cases  of  people  suffering  from 
sea-sickness,  and  hydrate  of  chloral  has  also  been 
recommended.  It  now  appears  from  a  French  pat>er 
that  nitrate  of  amyl  la  the  best  remedy,  and  that  it 
ought  to  be  inhaled.  Now  inhaling  anything:  tinder 
the  circumstances  strikes  me  as  likely  ,lo  oe  ver^ 
nervous  work,  and  though  possibly  the  remedy  may 
le  effectual,  most  people  would  be  afraid  to  try  it. 
My  idea  is  that  if  people  suffer  when  at  sea  they  hod 
better  star  at  home,  or  make  np  their  minds  to  bear 
the  anguish  with  as  much  philosophy  as  possible." 

CARRIER-PIGSOXS  XY  GER^AST. 
A  Qerman  paper  gives  some  details  of  tho  ex- 
traordinary development  ef  the  breeding  and  truniog 
of  carrier-pigeons  lu  Germany  since  the  late  war. 
During  the  siege  of  Paris,  as  is  well  known,  pigeons 
afforded  the  only  means  of  commauication  between 
the  outside  world  and  thfi  luhabitonta  of  the  be- 
leagnred  city.  In  order  that  similar  messengers 
might  be  avwlahle  in  the  hour  of  need,  pigeon- 
houses  wero  established,  after  the  conclusion 
of  the  war,  in  most  of  the  larger  gar- 
rison towns  of  Kortii  and  South  Germany, 
and  now  jHgeon-flylng  la  rapidly  become  a  favorite 
pastime  and  sport  throtighout  the  country.  The  in- 
cre:r3ed  attention  thus  ^ven  to  the  subject  has  re- 
sulted in  the  observation  of  many  peculiarities  in  the 
birds.  Carrier-pigeons  of  good  breed,  it  is  noticed, 
although  they  inay  be  started  in  company  and  bound 
for  the  same  place,  fly  quite  indepondently  of  one 
another.  Each  one  selects  its  own  course,  some  tak- 
ing a  higher,  others  a  lower  flight,  and  speeds  on  Its 
way  without  taking  any  heed  of  itanei^bors.  The 
birds,  in  fact,  aeem  to  know  that  they  are  racing, 
and  each  one  axfirta  its^  to  the  wtmort  to  arrira 
fint  at  the  ooaL  In  the  natKhborfaood  of  every 
tdgean-hoojia  th«r«  afe  alwArseartaUtdaoM.  tzMa. 


Ac.,  whi<A  are  ustially  favorite  resorts  of  ttiehlids, 
bat  when  coming  in  in  a  race  the  well-bred  pigeon 
never  idops  for  a  moment  at  any  of  these  hatuits,  bnc 
flies  straight  to  Ms  own  particular  honse,  freqaenlly 
arriving  there  in  so  exhausted  a  state  as  to  bo  unable 
even  to  eat  the  food  it  is  most  fond  of.  Birds  which 
are  sitting,  or  which  have  lately  hatched  vounir,  are 
eenerally  taken  in  preference  to  others  for  raring : 
out  instances  have  been  known  in  which  enrrier- 
pigeons  of.  good  breed  which  have  been  taken  to  a 
fresh  home,  and  which  have  hatched  voung  there, 
have  deserted  th?ir  brood  and  flown  to  their  original 
home  at  the  first  opporttmity  they  had  of  escaping. 

TME  LITE  STOCK.  OF  lURKEY, 
Tho  London  Times  of  July  31  says :  "  Be- 
tnma  made  by  British  Consuls  in  April  last  relating 
to  cattle  and  sheep  in  foreign  eotmtries  include  some 
account  of  the  live  stock  of  Turkey.  Consul  Holmes 
reports  that  in  1874,  tho  latest  return,  there'  were  in 
Bosnia  211,125  oxen,  309,775  cows  and  calves, 
2.223,336  sheep  and  Iambs,  and  106,034  horses. 
But  already,  in  April,  these  numbers  had  been  re- 
duced by  at  least  one-half,  as,  owing  to  theinsurroctlon, 
the  peasants  in  Herzecovlna,  and  along  all  the 
frontiers  of  Bosnia,  had  fled  in  great  nnmbers  from 
the  conntry,  and  taken  their  flocks  and  herds  with, 
them,  whenever  it  was  possible.  Lieut. -Ool.  Mans- 
field reports  from  Bucharest  that  the  last  statistics 
show  l,«at6.990  head  of  cattio  in  R^umania,  and 
4,786. 2flUj sheep;  their  quality  Is  too  inferior  to 
bear  theVxpense  of  an  export  trade  to  Eufcland 
Consul-Oeneral  Fawcett  reports  that  in  the  Provinces 
of  Constantinople,  Adrianople.  and  Broussa  (Asia) 
there  were  from  350.000  to  450.000  oxen,  about  a 
like  number  of  cattle,  and  from  7,000.000  to 
8,500,000  sheep.  The  average  weight  of 
dead  oxen,  Binking  the  offal,  ts  30  stone 
of  14  pounds,  and  of  sheep  from  a  little 
over  2  stone  to  nearly  3  stone.  In  Asia  the 
sheep  are  the  broad-tailed,  which  yield  large  quanti- 
ties of  tallow.  Consul  Sanderson  'r6partii.that  in  his 
district  of  Galatz  and  Ibraila.  as  far  i^coiiRHje  ascer- 
tained, (no  numbers  being  obtainable  in  respect  of 
the  interior  districts.)  there  were  nearlv  29,000 
cattle,  nearly  44,000  oxen,  and  270.000  sheep.  The

— THE  BZACH^jWrsUNDAT. 

PerhmpsitisinfnlflUmeDt  of  the  Scriptnral 
usurazice  that  thinss  humble  shall  be  exalted  that 
Coney  Islazid  grows  apace  in  popularity  as  »  water- 
Inp-place.  and  correspondingly  in  style,  tone,  and 
fashionable  pretension.  It  is  not  very  long  ago 
when  its  reputation  was  decidedly  nnlovely ;  when 
an  ID-savor  of  no  donbtfnl  kind  elung  to  the  quarter 
of  it  nearest  tiie  <^ty,  and  when  it  had  not  yet  made 
mach  str&es  eastward  as  to  the  points  of  the  com- 
pass, and  toward  a  more  desirable  condition  of  things 
In  respect  to  its  fashions  and  its  morale.  Bnt  now 
tempora  muUtntur  of  a  verity,  and  as 
certainly  nos  mutamur  in  iUis  Is  true 
of  this  delightfully  progressive  region. 
Briefly.  Coney  Island  extends  its  empire, 
its  institutions  keep  pace  with  its  enlargements 

d  its  necesaties.  lA>cal  journalism  flourishes,  and 
every  week  the  Coney  Island  SeraXd  distributes  its 
complement  of  things  spicy  and  pertinent.  This 
little  sheet  makes  no  pretense  to  grave  moral  suasion, 
(what  have  gravity  and  morals  to  do  be^de  the  full- 
toned  sea  where  people  come  to  breathe  the  tonic 
and  unclolstesed  air,)  but  it  shoots  at  folly  as  It 
flies  with  amazing  expertness,  and  gathers  and 
w^effves  verv  deftly  the  harmless  badinage  and  nn- 
scathing  gossip  of  sea-side  idleness.  And  other 
journals  in  little  are  engaged  at  the  same  task,  and, 
altogether,  matters  are  wonderfully  brisk  this  season 
on  the  pleasant  beach  of  Coney  Island. 

Nor  is  there  any  good  reason  why  Coney  Island 
should  not  be  one  of  the  foremost  among  American 
watering-places.  It  has  a  beach  which  is  unoqualed 
along  the  coast  nearer  than  Cape  May,  and  it  is  un- 
paralleled in  the  matter  of  contiguity  to  the  Metro- 
polis. You  can  reach  it  from  all  points  and  in  every 
needful  fashion.  You  can  abide  there  at  night  if  it 
please  you.  but  if  you  like  better  to  return  to  the 
City,  there  is  no  constraint  upon  you  to  remain  out  of 
t-own.  asat  LongBrancii.  Then  again, Coney  Islwid 
1b  the  true  republic  of  watering-places.  A  sojourn 
there  does  not  mean  lofty  isolation.  You  are  pretty 
much  all  the  time  on  the  aameplanewlth  j-our  fellow 
mortals.  You  are  no  better  and  no  worse  than  they. 
Thft  magnificent  exclasiveneM  of  Newport,  which, 
being  wealthy,  lifts  its  spuming  nose  toward  the 
manaions  above,  as  if  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven  were 
only  .destined  for  the  superior  people  who  count 
their  shekels  largely  hore,  does  not  af- 
front your  comparative  iwverty.  And,  being 
ft  plain  person,  you  are  not  at  the 
disadvantage  that  you  would  be  among  the  swallows 
of  fashion  that  at  Long  Branch  make  a  Summer. 
You  have  no  need  to  flauj>t  suf^h  gay  plum^e,  and 
you  can  be  more  sparing  of  starch  and  pipe-clay. 
But  there  are  numbers  of  refined  people  who  have  no 
desire  to  be  exclusive,  and  conservativek^  people  who 
disdain  to  put  on  airs  who  have  of  late  begnn  to  see 
that  their  views  can  be  best  satisfied  at  Coney  Island, 
and  so  at  present  sonte  of  the  best  families  of  >'ew- 
York  and  TSTOoWyn-  are  constant  visitors  hero. 

It  is  espe^nallytrue  that  at  the  extreme  eastern 
«nd  of  the  island  the  best  provision  is  made  for  this 
riass  of  custom.  Here  a  veritable  palace  has  grown 
np  in  the  midst  of  a  Sahara,  bnt  the  work  of  transi- 
tion must  necessarily  last  for  some  time.  The  prop- 
erty which  has  been*  acquired  here  by  the  Manhattan 
Ecach  Comp.iny  was  originally  hardlv  inviting.  The 
Iv'ach  was  nfl  doubt  superb,  bnt  for  the  rest,  the  land 
»eemed  fiat,  marshv.  and  iminterestins.  There  were 
rank  growths  of  herbage,  salt  pools,  dreary  flats, 
bat  as  a  compensation  the  Atlantic  beat  on  with  its 
true  unceasing  rythm.  and  its  health-giving  gales 
swept  over  the  dreary  prospect.  Ko  Aladdin's  lamp 
3r  work  of  genii  wrouzht  the  transformations ;  it  was 
sapita)  from  Boston.  Thirtv-sevpn  gentlemen  joined 
hands.  They  had  some  $2,000,000' to  spend  on  the 
raterprise.  and  not  more  than  half  of  this  sum  has 
"•^t  been  inrvested.  But  the  affair  grew  rapidly. 
"  mber?  and  bolt*  and  beams  began  to  cling  together 
•rith  the  coheaon  which  money  gives; 
feDow  pine  and  pale  .^.sh  settled  into  their 
proper  places :  decorative  fantasies  came 
5bwn  to  the  bleak  unteuanted  beach ; 
rreen  shmbs  sprang  up  in  strange  places,  and  now 
Fbereality  of  the  splendid  mansion  and  the  promise 
of  the  future  garden  tenant  the  once  deserted  shore. 
But  there  are  other  tenants  besides.  Six  thousand 
people  come  down  of  week  davs.  and  the  visitor*  on 
Sundays  amount  to  about  30.000.  The  trains  are 
ever  mo^ng  to  and  from  the  place  with  their  full 
fr^jthts  :  and  yet  the  enterprise  is  only  in  its  very 
babvhood- 

T&©  great  hotel  (the  largest  on  this  coast)  is  only 
fcnown  as  '"the  small  hotel,"  in  deference  to  the  fu- 
ture msffniScent  dimensions  of  the  companion  hostel- 
rie  whi<*n  will  take  shape  and  form  by  and  by.  Then 
there  are  to  be  growths  of  cottages  until  all  waste 
plates  are  filled  up.  And  yet  *■  the  small  hotel  "  has 
all  the  extent  and  pretension  of  a  community.  It 
does  nearly  evervthing  for  itself.  It  oakes  its  own 
bread  and  "does  all  its  own  laundry  work — excellent 
business  within  the  region  of  domestic  econo- 
my—but it  also  manufactures  its  owu  gas, 
which  is  more  frequently  a  matter  of  mn- 
cidpal  concern.  Pot  all  the  vnrions  duties 
of  this  vast  interest  a  staff  of  350  servants  is 
needed.  The  domestics  are  quartered  in  the  lower 
portion  of  the  building.  In  thtn  portion,  too,  is  the 
feitchen.  which  has  a  range  100  feet  long.  The 
bakery  is  close  by,  and  the  store-rooms  are  in  the 
same  region-  On 'a  level  with  the  piazza  there  are 
four  restatirant^.  two  east  and  two  west,  these  being 
again  subdivided  into  inner  and  outer  room.s.  to  meet 
the  exigencies  of  the  weather.  The  ladies'  parlor,  a 
gplandid  apartment,  is  on  the  same  level,  ana  above, 
in  the  central  pavUion.  are  i>rivate  dining-rooms  34 
by  16  feet. 

Tho*Ieepin§-room!5  will  accommodate  GOO  persons. 
Varioir;  outlying  buildings  are  also  rapidlv  springing 
np.  What  was  once  the  Brazilian  pavilion  at  the 
Ccotennial  Exhibition  is  already  on  )t«  second  legs. 
It  wOi  be  d« voted  to  beer — in  hot  weather,  a  not  un- 
desirable tipple.  Another — the  Japanese  pavilion — 
Trill  for  some  time,  at  least,  serve  the  useful  func- 
tion of  a  dairy,  but  it  will  probably  revert  by  and  by 
to  the  condition  of  a  regular  .TapaneHe  bazaar, 
wherein  ■  Japanese  ladies  will  preside.  Yet  another 
of  these  pavilions  is  s^ven  altojcether  to  music, 
and  of  coarse  yields  much  deliyht  m  this  new  capac- 
ity. The  oonstmction  of  bathiuB  houses  progresses 
ai.>  rapidly  as  possible,  to  meet  the  f?reat  demand  of 
bathers  whO"  prefer  this  part  of  the  beach,  and  even 
now  there  b©  Venuses  who  come  "flushed  from  the 
fnll-flushed  warre  "  as  bravely  aa  any  at  Long  Branch 
or  as  the  fair  Baltimoreans  at  Cape  Mav. 

But  although  the  prosperity  of  Coney  Island  is 
now  of  an  every-day  kind,  it  i^  unquestionably  on 
Sundavs  that  it  rises  to  its  greaf^titnde  of  sntaress. 
The  whole  place  is  an  argument  against  a  too  strict 
Sabbatarianism.  Hard-workinK  citizens  troop  down 
there  in  thousands,  and  there  is  no  irreverent  of- 
fense of  the  day  imi^ed  in  their  timely  relaxations. 
Their  conduct  is  well  ordered,  bnt  they  verjr  projwr- 
]y  object  U*  take  their  wrings  in  strait- waistcoats. 
Yesterday  was,  for  instance,  one  of  those  Sabbaths 
when  the  dweUers  in  the  City  like  to  pour  down  to 
the  pleasant  beach,  and  of  a  truth  they  followed 
their  inclinations.  Every  train  and  every  steam- 
boat oarri^l  ita  full  freight,  and  some  of  the  steam- 
boats possibly  bettered  their  specific  functions  in  this 
^natt«r.  The  managers  of  the  different  lines  of 
travel  had  their  hanob  full,  and  although  the  carry- 
ing interests  were  for  the  most  part  egnal  to  their 
engagements,  the>'  were  not  altogether  free  of  fail- 
ure. Thus  the  steam-boat  Norwalk,  of  the  Man- 
hattan Beach  Line,  which  should  have  called  at  Pier 
So.  1  North  River  at  3  o'clock,  found  it  inexpedi- 
ent or  impossible  to  make  this  delay,  and  so  nunibers 
of  intendmg  excursionists  on  that  rout«  and  at  that 
time  were  disappointed.  But  there  were  channels 
fnough  to  absorb  all  the  travel.  Sone 
folk  went  over  to  Brooklyn  and  took  the  cars,  and 
others  waited  ^^K  an  hoar,  caught  the  steamer  Idle- 
wQd  at  Rer  No.  2,  and,  with  charming  adaptability, 
made  their  objective  point  the  western  instead  of 
the  eastern  end  of  the  island.  In  fact,  everybody 
who  wi^edto  go  to  Conev  Island  found  facilities 
enough  at  hand  for  his  or  ner  purpose,  and,  being 
there,  a  little  squeezing  and  boring  with  elbow  points 
was  amply  atoned  for-  On  the  beach  the  day  was 
delightful.  The  tide  was  flowing,  and  the  breeze 
was  southerly.  The  wind  came  in  from  aea- 
■ward  cool  and  delicious,  and  nearly  all 
the  afternoon  the  ardent  sun  was  hidden 
behind  rich  fleecy  clouds.  The  customary  relaxa- 
tions went  on  in  the  customary  way.  Some  people 
strolled  along  tJie  strand,  and  were  merely  obeervers; 
Dther?  entered  with  abandon  into  all  the  passing 
amusements.  Thousands  dipped  into  the  cool,  in- 
viting Rtrrf.  and  in  the  full  flush  of  the  bathing  time 
to  procure  a  box  at  some  of  the  best  patronized 
[mints  on  the  beach  meant  a  considerable  wait  for 
your  tnm.  It  is  unnecessary  to  say  how  the  con- 
«-ivial  pleairarea  of  the  hour  went  forward  ;  how  the 
■ucculent  clam  sputtered  in  the  glowing  embers, 
or  how  tiie  deft  tapsters  poured  out 
their  foamins  libations.  The  cool,  amber  lager  was 
jjQ  mean  beverage  by  th«  fresh  sea-side,  and  of  a  cer- 
tainty was  not  meanly  or  stintedly  quaffed-  The 
rifle  range  did  its  usual  brisk  business,  the  swmga 
were  kept  in  livelv  motion,  the  fortune-tellers  and 
pocth^yers  retailed  thelr^  flatteries  and  promised 
Dpulence.  and  in  eve^  way  the  Island  wore  its 
blight  begone-dull-caie  kind  of  aspect. 

tblE  coming  week  at  cbeedxoox. 

•'  The  cavalry  organizations  of  the  First  Divi-

LEAST^S  (UPTURE  A2W  ESCAPE. 


THE  NOTED  CRIMINAL  ARRESTED  FOR  THE 
NORTHAHPTON  BANK  ROBBERY  —  HE 
SPEEDILY  BIDS  HIS  CAPTORS  GOOD-BYE. 
It  has  been  known  to  s  few  for  seTeral  days 
past  that  the  noted  John^  alias  "Bed**  Leary,  thief, 
burglar,  escaped  convict,  and  gambler,  had  recently 
beea  arrested  for  complicity  in  the  great  Northamp 
ton  Bank  robbery,  with  Robert  Scott  and  James- 
Dunlap,  who  nave  just  been  convicted  of 
^he  offense;  WUliam  Connors,  who  broke  ont 
of  Ludlow-Street  Jail  a  short  time  ago, 
knd  James  Brady,  who  was  arrested  several  days  ago 
for  shooting  at  a  policeman.  Efforts  have  been 
made  to  keep  the  arrest  a  secret,  because  of  the 
chagrin  felt  by  the  ofQcers  over  his  escape  after  they 
had  got  him  apparently  safely  captured.  Leary  was 
taken  in  a  hotel  on  the  Fort  Hamflton  road,  near  the 
fort,  natronized  by  sporting  men  and  questionable 
persons.  He  was  with  his  wife,  formerly  "Bed- 
headed  Kate "  Gorman,  a  confidence  woman 
and  shoplifter.  Six  detectives  went  there  with 
a  warrant  for  Leary,  based  upon  a  requisition  from 
Gov.  Rice,  of  Massachusetts.  Two  of  the  officera 
waited  on  him,  while  the  others  remained  near  at 
handto  ^ve  aid,  if  necessary.  He  deceived  his  cap- 
tors  by  ms  apparent  willingness  to  accompany  them, 
and  they  permitted  him  to  go  into  an  adjoining 
room,  he  pretending  that  he  desired  to  speak  to  his 
wife.  He  darted  out  of  a  door  into  the  open  air,  and 
then  ran  to  the  rear  of  the  bouse  where  a  horse  and 
huggywere  waiting.  He  jumped  in  and  drove  away 
down  the  road  toprard  Brooklyn  before  the  officers 
fairly  realized  his  design.  They  started  in  pursuit 
and  fired  several  shots  after  him,  but  he  laughed  at 
them  and  hallooed  "  Good-bye  "  to  them  as  he  disap- 
peared from  view.  Learj-  has  made  frequent  esci^ies 
from  prison.  _ 

THE  SUGAR  TRADE, 


SENSATIONAL  REPORTS  OP  *'  IMMIKEKT  RTTTN  " 
DENIED     BY    IMPORTERS — TRADE  OP  THE 
PAST  SEASON— THE  MARKET  NOT  GREAT- 
!         LT  OVERSTOCKED. 

j  A  morning  newspaper  during  the  last  week 
has,  for  some  reason  not  clearly  apparent,  under- 
taken to  represent  that  the  sugar  trade  of  this  City 
16  in  imminent  danger  of  ruin  ;  that  the  market  is 
lai^ly  overstocked  ;  that  there  have  been  ruptures 
between  refiners  and  brokers  in  consequence  of  the 
refusal  of  refiners  to  import  through  the  brokers : 
that  many  speculative  firms  were  about  to  meet  a 
"spell"  of  financial  weather,  and  that  from  $10,- 
000,000  to  $15,000,000  are  "locked  np"  in 
su^r  in  this  City,  upon  which.  "  if  a  further  fall  in 
nnces  should  occur,"  the  aggregate  losses  would 
reach  "several  millions  of  dollars."  On  inquiry 
among  leading  firms  engaged  in  the  stigar  trade,  it 
was  found  that  there  wa*?  a  unanimoos  opinion  about 
the  article  referred  to,  and  a  few  of  the  best  in- 
formed men  in  tbe  business  laughed  at  the  absurd 
Btorv,  and  said  that  it  was  so  .supremely  ridiculous 
on  its  face  that  it  was  not  for  an  instant  likely  to 
itnislead. 

I  In  many  respects  the  condition  of  things  among 
sugar  importers  and  refiner?  is  precisely  the  reverse 
of  what  it  was  represented  to  be.  During  the 
first  four  months  of  tliis  year  refiners  were  workinc 
on  rising  markets,  and  undoubtedly  made  large 
profits,  which  will  probably  exceed  the  losses  on  their 
workings  since,  ana  on  existing  stocks.  On  present 
values  of  sugar  they,  are  still  working  at  a  profit.  So 
far  from  being  oppressed  by  a  sense  of  imminent  dis- 
aster, they  are  very  generally  satisfied,  and  admit 
that  the  bu.siness  for  the  last  six  months  was  better 
than  for  any  correspond inR  sjx  months  in  many 
years.  Upon  inquiry  a  reporter  of  The  Tiues  as- 
certained from  persons  intimately  connected  with 
the  importing  of  sugar,  that  importers  of  that  staple, 
taking  the  old  and  regular  houses,  such  as  Moses 
Taylor  &  Co..  E.  D.  Monran  &  Co..  Kine  &  Co., 
Knowlton  &  Co.,  Grinnell,  Mintum  &  Co.,  Youngs  & 
Co.,  and  other  like  houses,  are  found  to  hold  no  con- 
siderable stocks.  Taking  the  New-Vnrk  sugar  im- 
porters as  a  class,  probably  they  never  had  so  Uttle  in- 
terest in  sugar  at  this  season  of  the  year,  or  were 
exposed  to  so  little  loss.  It  is  said  also  that  pi^bably 
nine-tenths  of  the  existing  stocks  of  sugar  are  heM 
for  the  account  of  shippers,  and,  consequently,  what- 
ever losses  may  finally  result  on  the  existing  stocks 
will  mostly  fall  in  foreign  conntri'-s.  These 
losses  will  be  far  less  than  has  been  represented.  A 
broker  of  great  experience,  and  one  who  Is  doing  a 
very  large  sugar  business,  expressed  the  opinion  that, 
taking  the  actual  cost  of  all  the  sugar  now  in  stock, 
the  losses  would  not  exceed  five-eighths  or  three- 
quarters  of  a  cent  a  pound,  or.  on  the  stock  in  this 
port,  about  $1,500,000.  probably  three-tenths  of 
whirh.  as  before  stated,  will  fall  upon  the  shippers 
in  Cuba  or  elsewhere.  Stocks  on  the  Ist 
of  this  month  in  all  ports  of  the 
United  States,  amounted  to  137.000  tons,  as  com- 
pared with  87,000  tons  in  August,  1876:  185.000 
tons  in  1875.  and  164.000  tons  in  Aueust,  1874. 
The  bulk  of  the  year's  supplies  arrives  here  between 
Feb.  1  and  Aug.  1.  The  consumption  of  foreiicn 
sugars  in  the  United  States  is  upward  of  620.000 
tons  per  annum,  in  view  of  which  a  stock  o;f  150.- 
OOO  tons  on  the  1st  of  August  cannot  be  re^fded  as- 
an  immoderate  one.  The  magnitude  of  the  sugar  trade 
is  aa  great  as  that  in  any  great  staple.  The  value 
of  the  imported  raw  sugar  sold,  duty  paid,  in  the 
United  States  this  year  will  prot>ably  exceed  $rJ.'»,- 
000,000,  to  which  amount  must  be  added  the  aiMi- 
tionalcost  of  refining,  about  $2,000,000  more,  and 
to  this  may  be  added  the  value  of  the  molasses  im- 
ported and  now  mostly  refined,  probably  $50.0CK)  - 
000  or  $60,000,000  more. 

air.  Solon  Humphreys,  of  E.  D.  Morgan  &  Co., 
wb9  was  reported  a^  saying  that  the  losses  of  im- 
porters of  sugar  would  not  exceed  $750,000.  ex- 
plained to  the  Times  reporter  that  what  he  reallv 
said  was  that  he  would  imarsntee  to  make  sood  all 
their  losses  ftor  $750,000.  To  the  assertion  that 
the  New-York  market  is  fearfully  overstocked,  the 
best  answer  is  a  comparison  of  the  stocks  in  this 
and  the  two  preceding  years  in  New-York,  Boston, 
Philadelphia,  and  Baltimore  :

Ocean    Gbove,    Aug.    12. — ^This    afternoon 
Ocean  Grove  was  crowded  with  people,  not  less  than 
5,000  ladies  being  on  the  ground  to  attend  the  Ocean. 
Grove  auxiliary  of  the  New-Tork  branch   of  the 
Women's  Foreign  Missionary  Society.    The  meeting 
was  held  in  the  laxge  Tabernacle,  and  was  presided 
over  in   the  absence  of  the   President,  Mrs.  E.  H. 
Stoke8,~^by-MTa  Brooks,  of  Baltimore,  aided  by  Rev. 
Mrs.    L    Simmons,    of    Brooklyn,    and  Bev.   Mrs. 
Enowles,  of   Orange,  K.  J.    Among  those  present 
were  Rev.  J.  F.  Hurst,  President  of  the  Drew  Semi- 
nary ;   Rev.  George   H.  Whitney,  President  of  the 
Newark  Conference,  and  WiUiam  H.  Falconer,  Treas-. 
nrer  of  the  City  Missionary  Society  of  New-York. 

Tbe  services  were  opened  by  singing,  reading  of 
the  Scriptures  by  Mrs.  Rev.  Cookman,  and  prayer  by 
Mrs.  Brandt,  of  Baltimore.  Mrs.  J.  H.  Knowles, 
Corresponding  Secretary,  read  her  aimual  report,  in 
which  she  stated  that  the  success  of  the  Gospel 
among  those  immediately  surrounding  tis  cannot  fsfl 
to  elicit  praise  from  every  thoti^tf ul  heart.  Eighteen 
hundred  years  ago  the  first  missionary  company 
landed  upon  the  shores  of  Etirope.  There,  In  the 
presence  of  a  few  women,  the  great  Apostle  began 
his  ministry  upon  that  continent,  and  the  Lord 
gave  the  sign  of  His  approving  presence 
by  opening  the  heart  of  Dydia  to  take  heed 
to  the  things  spoken  by  Paul.  From  that 
time  the  blessed  Gospel  has  gathered  many  a  com- 
pany of  women  together  to  pray  and  to  rejoice  in  its 
success.  The  Women's  Foreign  Missionary  Society 
have  reason  with  all  other  Christians  to  look  upon 
and  be  glad  at  the  wonderful  works  of  the  Lord.  The 
receipts  of  the  seven  branches  of  the  society  for  the 
year  ending  Feb.  1,  1877,  were  $67,698  27 ;  three 
missionaries  were  sent  out,  one  to  India,  one  to 
China,  and  one  to  Japan,  and  five  medical  missiona- 
ries with  a  dispensary  and  three  hospitals ;  three 
orphanages  and  six  houses  and  boarding-schools  are 
supported];  funds  are  supplied  to  carry  on 
work  under  the  snperintendendence  of  wives 
of  misdonaries,  which  includes  140 
Bible  women,  native  teachers,  and  other  helpers, 
and  130  schools  are  sustained.  It  must  be  under- 
stood that  all  this  is  additional  to  the  great  work 
carried  on  by  the  parent  board.  Mrs.  Knowl^ 
closed  by  claiming  that  the  Women's  Foreign  Mis- 
sionary Society  held  a  relation  similar  to  that  of 
Phoebe,  who,  whatever  difference  of  opltuon  may 
have  existed  as  to  her  official  position  in  the  Church, 
was  recognized  by  Paul  as  a  ''helper"  and  "minis- 
tering servant. "  Might  it  not  be  fittingly  said  of  us. 
as  of  "her.  "  Receive  them,  therefore,  in  the  Lord  aa 
the  saints  should  receive  one  another,  and  aid  them 
In  any  bu.<iiness  wherein  they  need'  your  help,  for 
they  nave  aided  many  among  ourselves  ;  also  among 
the  rest."' 

The  Treasurer  of  the  AnxiUary  reported  the  an- 
nual subscriptions  paid  in.  $93  50 ;  life  membeishlp, 
$^0  :  generfll  collection.  $198  7-5  ;  balance  from  pre- 
vious year  75  cents  ;  total.  $373.  This  amount  was 
patd  over  to  the  Treasurer  of  the  New-York  branch 
of  the  Foreign  Mission. 

A  letter  was  read  from  Mrs.  Rev.  Butler,  of  Mexi- 
co, on  the  progress  of  missionary  work  in  that  coun- 
try. A  letter  from  India  was  also  read.  Addresses 
were  delivered  by  Rev.  Dr,  Woodruff,  of  Brookljm  ; 
Mrs.  Rev.  Knowles.  of  Orange,  and  a  young  mission- 
ary who  is  about  to  start  for  China.  A  collection  was 
then  taken  up,  and  donations  were  made  to  make 
Mrs.  President  Hayes  and  Mrs.  Bishop  Simpson  life 
members.  A  sum  was  also  contributed  for  the  edu- 
cation of  a  little  girl  in  India,  who  shall  be  named 
Stokes  in  honor  of  Kev.  E.  H.  Stokes. 

This  morning  the  Centennial  building  known  as 
Educational  Hail,  Jtist  erected  in  Asbury  Park,  ad- 
joining Ocean  Grove,  was  crowded  with  nearly  5.000 
persons  from  Long  Branch,  Deal  Beach.  Spring  Lake, 
Ocean  Grove,  and  the  Park,  to  hear  Rev.  H.  Sanders, 
Baptist  minister  from  Yonkers,  N.  Y..  preach. 
Among  those  of  note  present  were  Judge  Cork,  of 
New-Brunswick,  Hon.  James  A  Bradley,  Rev.  Wil- 
liam B.  Corbit,  and  Judge  Kent.  The  services  were 
opened  by  the  reading  of  Scripture  by  Rev.  Thomas 
T.  Everett,  of  Philadelphia  ana  prayer  by  Rov.  Dr. 
Corbit.  Mr.  Sanders  took  his  text  from  Matthew,  v., 
48,  .**  Be  ye  therefore  perfect,  even  aa  your  father 
who  is  in  heaven  is  perfect."  He  opened  his  dis- 
course by  showing  the  importance  of  b«ing  perfect  in 
the  faith  of  God,  and  what  constituted  perfection  in 
Christ.  He  showed  that  God  was  disinterested  in 
his  love.  God  was  not  obligrd  to  go  outside  of  Him- 
self to  bless.  "  He  ^ves  oecause  it  is  His  everlast- 
ing nattire  to  give.  We  have  a  perfect  salvation  If 
we  believe  in  a  perfect  Saviour.  It  is  not  that  man  is 
perfect  In  himself,  but  that  he  is  perfect  in  his  belief 
of  Christ."  He  made  several  comparisons  to  show 
what  constituPml  nerfection.  **  A  humming-bird  was 
not  an  eagle.  \He  might  say  to  the  humming-bird. 
Be  ye  as'  per^t  in  your  sphere  as  t>e*^  eagle 
is  tn  his.  A  rosW  is  a  i>erfect  roue,  but  jt  is  not  a  per- 
fect man.  Pulfill  the  end  of  your  being  as  God  ful- 
fills his.  A  drop  of  water  is  not  an  ocean,  yet  it  Is 
part  of  the  ocean.  The  one  is  as  much  in  its  sphere 
as  the  other.  It  Is  so  with  our  relations  with  God. 
We  must  be  dependent  on  him  because  it  is  right. " 
God,  he  contended,  does  not  make  any  distinction- of 
character,  yet  God  does  good  to  one  man  and  not 
another,  why  1  Because  the  one  man  does  not  put 
himself  where  God  can  help  him.  God's  love  is  the 
same  to  every  man.  He  did  not  go  outside  when  He 
sacrificed  Christ.  He  gave  Himself.  He  hoped  they 
would  open  up  the  channels  of  His  love  in  the 
great  work  of  human  redemption.  That  was 
God's  idea  He  showed  the  character  of 
man.  A  man  who  acts  bad  toward 
a  man  because  he  is  bad  is  bad  himself.  A  man  who 
is  unjust  to  hia  neighbor  because  he  is  un.fu.it  is  un- 
just himself.  A  man  Is  a  rogue  who  is  honest  be- 
cause it  is  policy  to  be  honest.  You  mtist  l>e  honest 
because  it  is  right.  Policy  is  a  fraud  A  naan  can 
never  be  an  orator  who  has  to  stop  to  think  what  he

MEETING  OF  THE  AMERICAN  TEMPERANCE 
UNION — FREAKS  OF  A  TOO  ENTHUSIAS- 
TIC CHAIRMAN. - 
The  tisual  Snnday  meeting  of  the  American 
Temperance  Union  was  held  yesterday  afternoon  in 
the  large  hall  of  the  Cooper  Institute,  in  the  presence 
of  a  very  large  audience.  The  exercises  were  opened 
with  the  singing  of  a  new  temperance  song  entitled 
"Storm  the  Fort,"  which,  though  written  to  the 
stirring  tune  of  the  favorite  song,  "Hold  the  Fort," 
was  not  so  effective  as  might  have  been  anticipated. 
It  was  followed  by  Scripture  reading  and  prayer  by 
Bev.  Mr.  Hutchinson  for  the  success  of  the  "  tem- 
perance warfare."  Mrs.  Emily  Gates  Conklin  was 
then  introduced,  and  recited  a  temperanoo  piece  en- 
titled "Behold  my  Work,"  which  was  enthusiastically 
applauded.  Mr.  George  S.  Weeks  next  sang,  with 
bis  nstiftl  power,  a  temperance  fong,  beginning,  "Let 
ns  rally roond  the  banner, "which  was  greeted  witn 
applause. 

The  song  was  followed  by  an  exhibition  of  bad 
taste  on  the  part  of  Mr.  J.  B.  Qibbe,  the  Chairman,  a 
person  who  is  responsible  for  the  absurd  features 
that  of  late  have  marred  the  otherwise  interesting 
character  of  tbe  meetings  of  the  Union.  Stepping 
forward  as  the  last  notes  of  tbe  song  ceased,  he  pro-" 
nounced  a  eulogy  of  the  *  *  good  work ' '  a  certain  mem- 
ber of  the  organization  had  accomplished  in  rescuing 
a  whole  family  &om  ruin  by  having  saved  the  father 
from  a  drunkard's  fate,  and  then,  under  the  remarka- 
ble plea  of  giving  to  the  meeting  "more  of  a  relig- 
ious character,"  astonished  the  audience  by  inviting 
the  "rescued"  father,  his  wife,  his  two  grown 
sons,  and  two  little  children  to  come  for* 
ward,  receive  their  certificates  of  membership 
to  the  Union,  and  remained  standing  in  the  presence 
of  the  audience,  while  Mr.  Hutchinson,  the  "  light- 
ning calculator,"  offered  thanks  for  their  salvation. 
One  of  the  members  of  the  family  very  naturally  re- 
sented this  method  of  making  a  public  exhibition  of 
himself,  and  replied  with  some  warmth  to  Mr.  Gibbs' 
invitation,  that  "he  did  not  care  to  advertise  himself 
in  that  manner."  The  rebuke,  however,  did  not  de- 
ter the  Chairman  from  carrying  out  his  design,  for, 
gi\  Ing  instructions  to  the  "  lightning  calculator  "  to 
pray  for  the  husoand  and  his  famUy,  he  stood 
by  while  the  doubtless  weli-meaninjt,  but 
mistaken  couple  made  a  public  spectacle  of  them- 
selves for  the  glorification  of  a  certain  prominent 
member  of  the  SBsodation.  The  ceremony  having 
been  finally  concluded,  the  prineipal  feature  of  the 
meeting-^a  temperance  debate  on  the  theme  "  Li- 
cense or  no  License  " — was  begun  b^  Hon.  O.  C. 
Leigh,  who,  stepping  into  the  rumseller  s  shoes,  ad- 
vocated, amid  much  merriment,  the  claims  of  hU 
liquor-dealing  clients  in  an  ironical  address,  designed 
to  emphasize  the  evils  of  the  liquor  traffic.  lusar- 
guments  being  brought  to  a  close,  the  negative  side 
of  the  question  was  discussed  by  Rev.  M.  H.  Pogson, 
who  stanchly  upheld  the  prohibitionists'  doctrines, 
and  protested  against  licensing  the  liquor  traffic  on 
any  grounds-  The  debate  having  end^d,  the  exer- 
cises were  brou^t  to  a  close  ay  singing  bv  Mr. 
Weeks,  and  by  the  usual  sianing  of  the  pledge  by 
those  of  the  auolenee  who  desued  to  abstam  there- 
after from  the  use  of  intoxicating  beverages. 

RETURN  OF  THE  CANABIA  IT  PILGRIMS. 
A  parry  of  30  or  40  persona,  including  a 
delegation  fmm  the  St.  Patrick's  National  Associa- 
tion of  Montreal,  arrived  in  this  City  from  Montreal 
yesterday  morning,  for  the  purpose  of  welcoming 
the  Irish  Canadian  Pilgrims  upon  their  return  from 
Bome-  Tiie  Beeentioii  Committee  in  New- York  had

raeelia  steamer  ud  meet  the"  City  of  Chester  at 
ODsrantinje,  but  that  vessel  arrived  early  and 
the  party  had  time  only  to  hurry  to  Pier 
No.  ^5  ;  and  recelye  their  friends  there. 
The  rtttornfaig  party  numbered  about  22  persona  In- 
elndlss  Ber.  Father  l>owd«  of  St.  Patrick's.  Mon- 
treal. Aitei  an  informal  graeting  on  the  ship,  the 
party  proceeded  In  eairiagea  to  the  Grind  Central 
Hotel,  wnere.  In  the  evening,  an  address  of  welcome 
to  FaiherJDowd  from  the  St.  Patrick's  National  As- 
sociation was  read  by  the  President,  Mr.  M.  C.  Mul- 
larky.'  The  address  was  filled  with  expressions  of 
aflfection  for  their  reverend  father  and  of  thankful- 
ness for  his  delivery  from  peril  oto  the  outward  vov- 
age.  Beplying  to  the  address,  Father  Dowd  said 
that  Che  accident  to  the  City  of  Brussels  was  a 
blesaiiig,  inasmuch  aa  it  demonstrated  tbe  feeling  of 
brothetrly  affection  which  existed  among  the  people- 
without  regard  to  creed  or  nationality.  This  morn- 
ing at  1 9  o  clock  the  party  will  leave  for  Montreal. 
On  arriving  at  home,  at  10:30  at  night  the  vsrioua

dtizenis,  will  meet  them  and  a  grand  procession  will

PRESENT  CONDITION  OP  AFFAIRS—ACTION  OF 
-  THE  PRESIDENT  OP  THE  SYNOD. 
The  differences  of  opinion  between  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  St.  Paul's  German  Evangelical  Luth- 
eran Churdi  of  St.  Paul,  in  Henry-street,  near  Third- 
place,  Brooklyn^  and  Rev.  Robert  Netmiann,  the 
Pastor  of  the  church,  are  still  imsettled. 
The  Board  of  Trustees  are  anxious  to  have 
Rev.  MT.^1-Riechter  for  their  Pastor,  instead 
of  lib.  Netmunn,  and  the  latter  Is  not 
disposed  to  resign.  The  Trustees  say  that  he  lacks 
the  energy  and  ability  necessary  to  increase  the  con- 
gregation and  extricate  the  church  from  its  financial 
dlfficultie«|  w$d  that,  unless  a  more  vigorous  and  elo- 
quent preadier,  like  Mr.  Rtechter.  is  called  in,  the 
church  will  have  to  be  discontinued.  On  the  other 
hand,  Mr.  Neumann  claims  that  he  has  btdit  up  the 
church,  that  he  has  a  life  tenure  as  Pastor  under  the 
constitution  of  the  church,  and  that  the  membership 
has  recently  dwindled  on  account  of  the  discontent 
felt  at  the  action  of  the  Trustees.  On  Stm- 
day.  the  5th  lust.,  and  the  preceding  Sunday, 
the  Trustees  endeavored  to  prevent  Mr.  Neumann 
from  preaching  by  fastening  uie  church  door,  but  he 
forced  It  open  on  each  occasion,  and  preached  to  very 
small  congrM:ations.  Yesterday  the  Trustees  re- 
frained from  interfering  with  Mr.  Neumann,  the  door 
standing  wide  open  when  he  came  to  the  church, 
but  only  about  a  dozen  persons  attended  tbe  services. 
Mr.  Neumann  made  no  allusion  in  his  discourse  to 
the  trdtables,  but,  in  conversation,  said  he  should 
consider  it  his  dntv  to  remain  firm,  and  not  yield  to  the 
pressure  that  was  brought  against  him.  He  preferred 
saying  nothing  further  than  that  he  would  confer  with 
counsel  today  in  reference  to  his  legal  rights,  and 
that  a  Btatemenfc  would  be  prepared  covering  the 
facts  connected  with  the  controversy.  In  order  to 
show  that  the  Trustees  had  no  charges  to  prefer 
against  him  that  could  be  officially  entertained,  he 
exhibited  the  following  certificate  from  the  President 
of  the  Lutheran  Synod : 

New-Toaa:,  July  14, 1877. 
I  hereby  certify  that,  as  President  of  the  Evangelical 
Lutheran  Synod  of  New-York  and  New^Jersey,  I  received 
official  notice  from  the  Pastor.  Rev.  R.  Neumann,  and 
from  Mr.  Schaffer,  Secretary  of  the  Church  Council  of 
the  German  lEvangeUcal  Lutheran  CHiurch  of  St.  Paul,  in 
South  Brooklj-n.  N.  T..  to  be  in  attendance  at  said 
cbnreh  on  ^nrsday  evening,  July  12,  1877,  at  7:30 
o'clooTc,  of  ifhieh  time  and  place  omcial  notire  had  been 

S'vcn.  to  Investigate  any  charge  or  charge*  that  might 
I  preferred  by  any  member  or  members,  or  even  ex- 
members  of  said  conj^regation :  that  1  attended  to  this 
duty,  and  mot  at  tho  above  mentioned  time  and  place  the 
said  Rev.  R.  Neumann  and  about  25  individuals  there 
aanembled. 

The  object  of  the  meeting  was  diKtinctly  stated,  and 
the  question  was  put  by  me  fix  dlflffircnt  tijTies  : 

Ir  there  any  one  present  who  has  any  charge  whatso- 
ever to  make  a^inst  Bev.  R.  Kouicann  f  Let  him 
now  do  so. 

No  one  answered  this  Inquiry,  though  repeatedly 
made. 

I  farther  certify  that  Rev.  R.  N'aumann  was  willing 
and  prepared  to  have  his  complaints  against  them  inves- 
tigated  also,  but  thay  declined  to  hear  him,    and  the 
meeting  adjourned  a  few  minutes  before  10  o'clock. 
A.  C.  WEDEKIND. 
President  of  Kew.Tork  and  NewTlersey  Synod, 

Mr.  Charles  H.  Schaffer.  the  most  active  of  the 
Trustees  opposed  to  Mr.  Neumann,  said  yesterday 
that  the  Board  of  Trustees  would  meet  this  evening 
and  determine  upon  their  course  of  action.  Mr. 
Neumann  had  not  the-^alities  required  for  the  pas- 
torship of  the  church  in  Its  present  exigencies,  and. 
although  be  was  paid  no  salary  as  minister,  he  re- 
ceived valuable  presents,  and  was  given  a  handsome 
salary  by  tl^e  S}-nod  for  mission  work  in  New-York, 
to  which  he  almost  exclusively  devoted  himself,  giv. 
ing  scarcely  any  attention  to  his  pastoral  duties. 


A  MUCH  MARRIED  MA^. 
Upon  the  complaint  of  Sarah  Bloch,  Lehman 
Levy,  alias  Se.sa  Bloch,  was  on  Saturday  arrested 
upon  a  charge  of  bigamy,  and  was  yesterday  commit- 
ted for  trial  by  Justice  Kasmire,  in  the  Fifty-seventh- 
Street  Court,  in  default  of  $2,000  bail.  In  her 
affidavit  the  complainant,  under  her  maiden 
name,  Baer,  sets  forth  ^hat  on  the  5th  ^y 
of  this  month  the  defendant  was  married  to 
her  by  Rabbi  Kaiser,  well  knowing  at  the  time  that 
Emestina  Levy,  his  wife,  was  living,  and  that  they. 
the  comnlainant  and  (he  defendant,  lived  together  as 
man  ana  wife  for  three  days  before  she  ascertained 
tho  fact  of  his  previous  loarrlage-  The  defendant 
was  examined  privately  by  the  Clerk,  and  said  his 
name  was  Lehman  Levy,  that  he  was  bom  Iq  France, 
and  was  24  years  old.  His  occupation  he  gave  as 
waiter.  In  answer  to  the  question  as  to  his  gtUlt  or 
Innocence,  he  says:  "I  am  guilty  of  the  charge. 
I  thoneht  I  had  a  bill  of  separation  from  my  other 
wife,  Lmestina,  who  is  now  livinK  in  the  hospital  on 
the  island."  To  his  examination  he  sismed  his  name 
as  Levy  Ijehman.  Bloch.  Levy,  or  Lehman — if,  in- 
deed, either  be  his  name — has  been  in  this  country 
about  three  years,  and  is  said  to  have  confessed  to 
his  last  \ictim  that  he  left  a  wife  on  the  other  side 
when  he  came  here.  He  was  married  to  Emestina 
Brown  on  the  26th  of  January,  187H.  Her  brother- 
in-law  sa>'R  that  the  defendant  has  not  lived  with  h^r 
for  several  months,  but  that  he  left  her  on  the  island 
only  a  few  days  before  his  marriage  to  iliss  Baer.

SWJMMIXG  MA  TCH  A  T  BA  TH.  L  OXG  TSLA  XD. 
Another  Bwimming  match  in  the  series  ar- 
ranged for  the  amosement  of  his  patrons  by  the  pro- 
prietor of  McCluskoy's  Park,  at  Bath,  Long  Island, 
came  off  yesterday  afternoon  in  the  presence  of 
qtiite  a  lai^  crowd,  but  was  a  comparatively  unin- 
teresting affair.  The  contestants  were  Samuel  Nel- 
son, otherwise  known  as  "the  Brooklyn  Favorite, '* 
and  llewis  DeSIott,  whom  tbe  bills  proclaimed  as 
•*  NeT^-Yorkts  Pride."  An  alleged  stake  of  $300  de- 
pended on  the  result  of  the  match.  The  men  were 
taken  out  In  a  row-boat  in  the  direction  of  the  Lower 
Quarahtine;  and  entered  the  water  when  a  mile  from 
the  starting  point.  The  tide  was  at  the  flood  and 
running  rapidly,  and  the  awimmers,  in  order  to  reach 
McClnskey  s.  had  to  describe  an  arc  of  a  circle,  mak- 
ing the  distance  traversed  mtich  greater  than  a  mile. 
For  the  first  quarter  of  a  mile  Nelson  maintained  a 
good  lead,  but  after  that  he  was  overhauled  and 
speedily  jMwsed  by  his  opponent,  who  kept  in  front  to 
theend.  and  won  dv  over  a  minute,  his  time  being  18 
minutes.  It  was  plain  that  the  men  were  very  evenly 
matched,  DeMott  having  every  advantage  in  point 
of  physiqud  and  in  the  mode  of  handling  himself  in 
the  water,     j  ^^^^ 

STEALING  A  KEG  OF  LAGER, 
Thomas  Troy  and  Michael  Fitzgerald,  of  Man- 
hattanville,  were  a^^&lgiied  at  the  Harlem  Police 
Court  yesterday  morning,  charged  with  stealing  one 
keg  of  iager-beer  valued  at  $3,  the  property  of 
Yeungliug  ia  Co.,  from  a  freight  car  of  the  Hudson 
River  siallroad,  at  One  Hundred  and  Thirty-flrst- 
street  and  Twelfth-avenue.  The  evidence  showed 
that  thip  be^r  after  being  stolen  was  transported  in 
a  dilapidated  row-boat,  the  oars  whereof  consisted 
of  pieces  of  :boards  torn  from  a  neighboring  fence, 
from  the  d<t>ck  at  One  Htmdred  and  Thlrty-first- 
streot  to  the*  shore  of  the  river  at  One  Htindred  and 
Forty-third-street,  ^om  the  latter  point  it  was 
rolled  or  carried  into  a  neiehboring  "lot,  where  one  of 
the  railway  employes — William  >Iickle8on — subse- 
quently found  it,  bereft  of  its  contents  and  sur- 
rounded by  a  crowd  of  about  a  dozen  hilarious  and 
intoxicated  tramps.  Onthe  appearance  of  Mickleson 
the  crowd  scattered,  with  the  exception  of  the  pris- 
oners, who  were  too  far  gone  to  move,  and  were  con- 
sequently arrested  and  locked  up.  At  the  Police 
Court  yesterday  they  both  pleaded  not  guilty,  but 
were  committed  to  await  a  further  hearing.

Fereditch.  a  Balkan  pass,  and  sent  a  strong  re- 
connoitering  force  as  far  as  the  Kartova,  on  the

in  considerable  force.

Raesaia  Pasha  has  retaken  Kartova, 
disarmed  the  Bulgarians,  and  re-estab-

were  killed  and  33  woiaide^.

passed  by  railway  to  Frateshti,  "  where

Simnitza.  The  decision  to  withdraw  aU 
pretensions  of  occupying  the  other  side  or  the 
Balkans  in  this  campaign  has  caused  an  order  to 
be  issued  for  the  retirement  of  Gen.'Gourkho's 
force  behind  the  niountains.  The  cavalry  could 
be  of  no  use  among  the  woofls  and  precipices  of

LoNpoN,  Aug.  13. — ^A  Constantinople  dispatch 
»  the  Times  by  way  of  Syra  says :  "Your  cor- 
respondent at  Karabuiiar  writes  that  appalling 
iccounts  continue  to  come  in  of  the  misery  of 
fugitives  from  the  districts  devastated  by  the 
Bashi-Bazouks  and  Bulgarians.  Thousands  of 
women  and  children  are  homeless  and  perishing 
for  want  of  shelter,  medical  attendance,  and 
food.  Immediate  help  on  the  largest  possible 
scale  is  most  sorely  needed.  The  Pasha  in  com- 
mand here  proposes  to  distribute  the  fugitives 
aboat  Constantinople,  Adrianople,  and  Philip- 
popolis,  but  no  arrangements  have  been  made  to 
receive  them.  The  correspondent  suggests  the 
formation  of  a  city  of  refuge  on  an  island  near 
Constantinople,  under  the  protection  of  a  neu- 
tral flag  and  a  neutral  guarantee  from  the  bel- 
ligerents. Thousands  of  people  are  home- 
less. The  crops  are  rotting  on  the  ground 
ind  no  sort  of  provision  is  being  made 
for  the  Winter.  The  corresfwudent  speaks 
Favorably  of  the  conduct  of  the  Turkish  repru- 
lars,  but  severely  blames  the  Government  for 
employing  or  not  controlling  the  irregulars,  who 
scour  the  country,  committing  the  worst  ex- 
>i8ses.  Even  the  fugitive  women  and  children 
arho  come  for  protection  to  the  Turk.s  have  to 
be  guarded  by  the  regular  troops,  lest  they 
should  be  further  injtired  by  these  savages.'* 

The  Constantinople  agent  who  forwarded  the 
foregoing  says:  "From  other  letters  which 
have  reached  me  I  have  little  doubt  that  the 
Bulgarians  are  behaving  much  in  the  same  way 
as  the  Bashi-Bazouks.  It  will  be  impossible  for 
the  Christians  and  Slohammedans  to  live  to- 
Eether  again  in  the  disturbed  districts.  Even 
Philo-Russians  severely  condemn  Russia's  con- , 
duct  in  first  iQstigating  the  Bulgarians  to  re- 
volt and  then  leaving  them  to  the  mercy  of  the 
IHtrks,  whose  right  to  treat  them  as  rebels  is 
bard  to  question." 

The  Times'  Armenian  correspondent  writes 
that  the  stories  of  Russian  atrocities  in  Armenia 
kre  utterly  untrue.  The  Russians  have  through- 
out behaved  well.  The  Turkish  regulars  also  have 
■>ehaved  well,  but  the  irregulars  are  guilty  of 
»trocitie.s  past  belief,  despite  the  laudable  ef- 
forts of  Mukhtar  Pasha  to  restrain  them.

written  the  following  as  I  received  it . 
and  from  the  terrible  accounts  which 
fugitives  continually  bring  over  t  he

shot  as  they  left  their  houses.  Those  who 
remained  within  were  burned  alive.  The  order 
was  given  to  burn,  down  and  destroy  everj' 
particle  of  Christian  property  in  the  place. 
Many  leading  Turkish  merchant;*  took  part  in  the 
ftfTair.  One  dispatched  a  large  nuinber  of  Bashi- 
Bazouks  all  over  the  Tchirpan  district.  This 
district  is  one  of  the  richest  in  that  part 
of  Turkey.  It  contains  a  very  large 
proportion  of  Christian  inhabitants,  over 
§0  churches,  and  500  schools  and  colleges, 
all  of  which  h&ve  been  burned.  The 
destruction  extended  to  the  villages  Boghdan-

ing of  a  mo&qne  wherein  the  Imiabitanta  of  Tlamst- 
Keni  had  taken  refuse,  and  were  burned  alive.  It 
adds  that  the  Russians  compel,  under  penalty  of 
death,  tbe  Musatdman  prisonera  to  flre 
upon  the  Ottoman  troops  which,  come  to 
their  relief.  The  Machir,  Stileiman  Faaba,  has 
t«legraphed  to  the  Minister  of  War  that 
12  unarmed  Mussulmans,  inhabitants  of  the  village 
of  Soukoulon,  near  Eski-Saghra,  having  aurrendered 
to  the  Russians,  seven  of  them  were  massacred  with 
axes  by  the  BulKarians.  and  three  others  by  the  Cos- 
sacks. We  have  ordered  a  statement  to  be  made  as 
exact  as  possible  of  the  number  of  houses  destroyed 
by  fire,  and  of  the  Mussulman  inhabitants  killed  by 
the  Russians  and  Bulgarians  in  the  villages  which,  to 
the  present  dat«,  have  suffered  the  most  by  the  eno- 
mv's  invasion.  I  transmit  the  result,  which  is  aa 
follows : 

First — At  Bat&k,  a  village  'exclusively  Mohamme- 
dan, in  the  distiict  of  Sistova,  100  hou-ies  were 
burned,  200  men  and  300  w^omeai  perished :  total, 
500  victims.  It  is  believed  that  seven  inhabitants 
survived. 

S>ecand — ^At  Balovan.  a  Mtissnlman  ^village  in  the 
district  of  Tirnova,  250  houses  were  burned.  700 
men  and  1.20O  women  perished  ;  in  all,  1,900  vic- 
tims. One  person  only  it  is  believed  escaped  from 
the  massacre. 

Third— At  Caba-Bonnas  100  houses -were  burned, 
200  men  and  300  women  perished ;  total,  500  vic- 
tims.   Two  persons  escaped  alive. 

FourtJi — At  Ke^tambal,  150  houses  were  burned, 
30O  men  and  600  women  perished  ;  total,  000  vic- 
tims. 

Fifth — At  Chems.  a  mixed  village,  60  Mussulman 
houses  were  destroyed,  120  men  and  200  women 
perished ;  total,  320  victims.  One  person  only  es- 
caped. 

Sixth — At  Tund.ia.  a  mixed  village,  100  houses 
were  destroyed,  250  men  and  400  women  perished ; 
total.  650  Tiftims.    Only  three  survivors. 

Eere  follows  the  number  of  the  houses  set  on  fire  in 
the  villages  abandoned  by  the  inhabitants  before  tho 
enemy's  arrival :  At  Pranich  Honri,  -10 ;  at  Beran, 
150;  at  Odallar,  ISO;  at  Amdlouk,  SO;  at  Bonrouck. 
100;. at  Kodjiua.  70;  at  Okdijei,  200.  Total,  fi20. 
Between  40  and  50  mixed  villages,  each  containing  a 
minimum  of  100  houses,  are  also  mentioned,  and 
whose  Mussulm.an  inhabitants  had  surrendered  to 
the  Russians.  Their  fate  is  unknown.  You  will 
think,  as  we  do,  that  these  frightful  statistics  are  the 
most  overwhelminc  evidence  of  tho  ruthless  cruelty 
of  the  Russian  policy.

in  his  retreat,  bonses,  plantations,  and  farms.  lea%'ing 
the  population  in  the  most  dreadful  de«itttntion.  with-

prisoners  to  Alexandropol  the  wife  and  children  of 
Yousouf  Bey.  Cairaaran  of  Chouroukal,  his  brother, 
Mehemet  Bey.  and  his  children  ;  finally,  the  female

some  information  reaches  us  from  the'se.it  of  Avar  la

have  adopted  the  general  and  uniform  system  to  try 
to  seize  defenseless  villages,  and,  after  destroying 
them  with  cannon-shot,  to  ma-ssacre  the  unarmed  in- 
habitants and  carry  off  the  women  for  the  purpose 
of  outragine  their  persons  when  they  are  not  killed 
at  first.  The  Russians  threaten  the  Christian  vil-

if  their  inhabitants  refuse  to  V»e  enrolled.

London,  Aug.  13.— The  Constantinople 
correspondent  of  the  TimeSf  telegraphing  by 
way  of  Syra,  says  :  "  It  is  stated  on  good  au- 
thority that  Mnsnras  Pasha,  Turkish  Ambassa^ 
dor  at  London,  recently  wrote  to  tho 
Port«  that  he  had  reasoil  to  believe 
the  British  Government  would  shortly 
ask  authorization  for  a  fleet  to  enter  the  Boa- 
phoms  in  certain  contingencies  in  order  to  pro- 
tect Christians.  It  is  said  the  Porte  replied  that 
the  fleet  could  only  come  as  the  avowed  ally  of 
Turkey.  It  is  also  asserted,  thou{?h  on  doubtful 
authority,  that  this  reply  was  withdrawn  on  the 
energetic  remonstrance  of  Mr.  Layard,  the 
British  representative  at  Con.stantinople.*' 

As  a  further  evidence  of  the  more  enlightened 
policy  of  the  Porte  toward  foreigners,  the  ser- 
\-ice3  of  Col.  Baker  have  been  secured  by  Lieut- 
Gen.  Mehemet  All.  and  he  has  gone,  to  the  front

that  in  the  present  condition  of  affairs*  in  the 
East  the  project  of  occupying  Bosnia  and  Herze- 
govina is  abandoned.  This  is  attributed  to  the 
numerous  meeting  in  Hungary  in  favor  of  the 
integrity  of  the  Ottoman  Empire.

Oltexitza.  Friday,  Julv  27,  1877. 
The  rapid  succession  of  tiefeats  sustained 
by  the  Russians  during  the  last  week  has  a 
much  more  important  bearing  than  might  be 
supposed/  from  the  events  themselves.  That  the 
column  acting  on  Plevna  should  or  should  not 
have  been  successful  in  its  attempt  to  enter  the 
Valley  of  the  Osma  will  not  materially  influence 
the  result  of  the  campaign.  It  will  be,  and  prob- 
ably has  been,  reinforced,  and  will  certain- 
ly force  its  way  on  toward  Widdin,  which,  in 
due  course  of  time,  must  fall,  but  a  considera- 
tion of  the  circumstance  of  the  action  will  pos- 
sibly check  a  little  the  blatant  joy  of  ultra  Russo- 
philes,  and,  let  us  hope,  cause  amateur  strategists 
to  be  a  trifle  more  mjoderate  in  the  assertion  of 
their  predictions.  On  the  28th  of  June  last  the 
entire  Army  in  the  Vilayet  of  Widdin.  amounted 
in  round  numbers  to  27,000  men,  inclusive  of 
five  squadrons  of  cavalry  and  14  batteries  o'f 
field  guns,  and  of  these,  last  only  about  one-half 
the  number  was  properly  horsed-  The  cavalry 
consisted  of  wretohodly-mounted  Circassian  and 
Bashi-Bazo^ks  uniformed  as  Nizans ;  of 
the  infantry,  60  battalions  in  all,  about 
one-half  belonged  to  the  same  category  as  the 
cavalry-  The  balance  was  composed  of  Redifs. 
At  the  commencemel^J  of  the  month  of  July — 
and  there  has  been  n\.  possibility  of  reinforce- 
ment since  that  date — this  force  was  disposed 
as  follows :  6  battalions'  and  2  batteries  at 
Novosilo  and  Florentin.  between  Widdin  and 
the  mouth  of  the  Timok.  to  defrmd  that  part  of 
the  Danube  line  which,  is  threatened  by  an  ad- 
vance from  Roumania;  12  batteries,  1  field 
battery,  and  a  squadron  of  cavalry  at  Adlie, 
south-west'  from  Widdin.  in  observation  on  the 
road  leadiug  from  Sairschar,  in  Servia,  through 
Veliki  levor ;  4  battalions  at  Belgradjik,  to 
secure  the  communication  -^vith  JKish  end  the 
lower  valley  of  the  Timok,  and  prevent  a  cav 
airy  mid  which  might  be  attempted  through 
Lorn  Palanka  ;  3  battalions  and  1  field  battery  at 
Bellarada,  on  the  high  road  between  Widdin  and 
Adlie,  about  two  hours'  march  south  of  the 
main  'position ;  IS  battalions  of  infantry.  4 
squadrons  of  cavalry,  and  6  batteries  at  Wid- 
din ;  3  battalions  and  1  battery  at  Lorn 
Palanka ;  14  battalions  and  3  batteries  at 
Eahova. 
Ihera  are  no  good  lines  of  comTflnPiffatinn  be- 


tween these  positions,  the  necessities  of  whose 
respective  defenses  would  prevent  the  with- 
drawal of  any  considerable~^portion  of  their  al- 
ready feeble  gftrrisons  for  service  in  the  field, 
so  that  it  is  doubtful  whether  Osman  Pasha 
could  have  put  into  line  more  than  8,000.  or, 
at  the  most,  10,000  men,  with  possibly  six  bat- 
teries and,  with  the  concentration  of  the  entire 
cavalrv  in  the  vilayet,  five  squadrons  of  very  in- 
ferior horse.  On  the  other  side,  and  taking  the 
official  organization  of  a  Rus-sian  division  as  a 
basis,  there  must  have  been  12  battalions  of  in- 
fantry, at  least  one  regiment  of  six  squadrons  of 
regular  cavalry,  and  three  or  four  sotnias  of  Cos 
sacks,  with  fotir  batteries.  This  last  estimate  is 
probably  tmder  the  mark,  as  the  proportion  of 
artillery  to  infantry  in  the  Russian  Army  is 
usually  five  guns  to  every  1,000  men.  In  short, 
the  Turks  numbered  8.000  to  9.000  at  the  out- 
side; the  Rtissians  10.000  to  12,000,  yet  the 
latter  were  not  only  repulsed,  but  driven  off  the 
field  with  the  loss  of  a  portion  of  their  baggage 
and  artillery  wagons,  and  Gen:  Kriideners' 
corps  has  been  ordered  to  proceed  to  their  re- 
lief without  a  moment's  delay.  Before  his  ad- 
vance Osman  Pasha  will  probably  fall  back  on 
his  reserves,  and  only  give  battle  when  he  has 
been  reinforced  on  some  point  nearer  his  base, 
as  a  defeat  at  Plevna  would  seriously  jeopardize 
his  retreat  on  the  fortress. 

The  restilts  of  the  engagements  just  fought 
are  thus  important,  because  they  show  that  the 
Russians  ai*e  not  as  invincible  as  tlieir  worship- 
ers would  maintain.  The  Tiu*ks  will  fight  well 
whenever  they  are  decently  commanded,  and 
Osman  Pasha  "is  a  General  of  no  common  abil- 
ity, since  with  troops  inferior  in  both  numbers 
and  quality  he  has  inflicted  a  serious  defeat 
upon  the  enemy.  I  am  pert'cctly  prepared  for 
the  objection  which  will  certainly  lie  made. 
The  Turks  had  the  advantage  of  position.  Of 
this  there  is  no  doubt;  but  therein  lies  the 
talent  of  their  commander.  It  does  not  dimin- 
ish from  the  credit  due  to  him  because  he  knew 
how  to  profit  by  the  principles  of  strategy,  nor 
does  it  speak  very  highly  of  the  abilities  of  the 
Russian  General  who  accepted  Imttle  on  such 
very  disadvantageous  terms,  and  sacrificed  his 
troops     simply     through     uureasuuing     brute 


courage. 


Nor  is  tho  defeat  of  Plevna  the  only  indict- 
tion  of  a  possible  twn  of  the  ti<le.  I  have  al- 
ready alluded  to  the  check  of  the  Russian 
"demonstration."  as  they  call  it.  tipon  Rus- 
tcliuk.  where  abont  10.000  Turks  repulsed  a 
really  serious  att.-ick  made  from  PjTgos  on  their 
western  line  of  defense.  There  h'ns  als^n  been  a 
defeat  at  Silistria,  but  of  thi.'*.  as  indeed  of  both 
the  other  afl'airs.  all  details  are  caret'idly  sup- 
pressed. The  uew  Comnmnder-iu-Chief,  Me- 
hemet All.  is  endeavoring  to  repairthe  mischief 
caused  by  his  predei'e.ssur's  apatliy  and  incapac- 
ity, and  tho  positions  taken  up  by  the  Army  of 
the  Daniibe.  acc^>r(linff  to  the  la.st  accounts,  in- 
dicate a  certiiiu  knowledge  of  his  profession 
and  an  intention  to  dispute  the  possession  of 
tho  quadrilateral,  without  which  no  Rtissiaii 
successes  elsewhere  can  he  decisive.  Tho  lines 
of  Shumla  are  held  by  30.000  men;  OO.OOO 
forms  the  Army  of  operation  against  the 
force  of  the  tV.aro\viteh  between  Ishum- 
la  and  Rasgrad;  50,000  on  their 
way  to  the  Balkans  through  Eski- 
Stamlx)ul,  and  about  ijll.OOO  more  are  eche- 
lonned  from  bilistria  to  Varna.  I  should  add 
that  this  disposition  of  tho  troops  has  not  been 
materially  changed  from  tho  one  prescri)>ed  by 
Abdul  Kerim,  with  the  exception  of  the  detach- 
ment moving  toward  the  Balkans  in  order  to 
act  in  concert  vrixh  the  operations  of  Suleiman 
Pasha  agaittst  the  Russian  corpsat  Yamboli.  The 
difficultj*  of  combining  at  the  proper  moment 
the  movements  of  contrustic  columns  acting 
from  different  and  distant  bases  is  the  only  ob- 
stacle to  twC  success  of  this  piece  of  strateg>* ; 
the  Russians  may  beat  the  two  armies  in  detail, 
as  th^  Austrians  might  have  done  at  Sadowa, 
but  if  they  unite  there  will  be  u  heavy  butch- 
er's bill  and  a  very  large  contingent  of  Giaour 
prisoners  to  be  forwarded  to  Constantinople. 
where  1  hope  they  will  be  treated  a  little  more 
in  accordance  with  the  usages  of  civilized  war- 
fare than  appears  to  be  the  case  with  the  Os- 
manli  who  are  brought  over  to  this  side,  where 
Vae  victis  is  the  order  of  the  day. 

According  to  the  local  papers,  which  publish 
nothing  unless  authorized  so  to  do  by  the  Rus- 
sian Press  Bureau,  the  majority  of  the  pri.son- 
ers  are  marched  by  roa<l  as  far  as  the  frontier, 
the  wounded  only  and  the  officers  being  sent  on 
by  rail.  They  are  in  gangs  of  40.  .50.  and  00 
men,  manacled  together  in  couples,  and  attached 
to  a  chain  passing  from  the  first  to  the  rear- 
most files,  and  in  this  condition  are  obliged  to 
make  the  entire  journey — sometimes  over  .">00 
miles.  Their  escort  consists  of  those  gentle 
savages,  the  Cossacks,  who  are  enjoined  to  be- 
have with  every  consideration  to  the  hapless 
captives.  How  this  injunction  is  obeyed  I  leavo- 
my  readers  to  judge,  recommending  to  their 
perusal  the  recital  of  the  amenities  which  they 
have  displayed  already  at  Nikopolis  and  other 
places  in  Bulgaria,  according  to  the  testimony 
of  even  those  well-known  Russophiles,  the 
correspondents  of  the  London  TnmK  the 
Daily  News,  and  the  Manchester.  Guardian. 
There  would  have  been  a  howl  of  virtuous  in- 
dignation If  the  heathen  Turks  had  presumed 
on  such  a  violation  of  the  law  of  nations,  and  I 
don*t  think  that  a  similar  instance  of  the  treat- 
ment of  soldiers  lite  galley  slaves  has  been  seen 
in  Etirope  for  a  couple  of  centuries ;  but  here  it 
has  passed  almost  unnoticed,  or.  if  spoken  of  at 
all,  as  being  quite  natural,  as  so  nun^erous  a  de- 
tachment of  prisoners,  if  not  in  chains,  would 
require  too  large  an  escort  to  be  spared  by  the 
Russians  under  present  circumstances.  At 
lea-st  such  is  the  view  taken  of  the  case  by  the 
distinguished  gentleman  jvho  now  directs  the 
semi-official  newspaper  in  whose  columns  are  to 
be  found  the  ideas  of  the  Government,  revi.<od 
and  corrected  in  accordance  with  the  instruc- 
tions issued  from  the  Btireau  of,  the  Russian 
Police. 

The  Roumanians  did  not  want  to  go  to  Xikop- 
olis,  and  some  of  their  statesmen  protested,  but 
they  have  a  king  stork  now  instead  of  a  king 
hog,  and  there  was  no  help  for  it.  There  was 
no  use  in  refusing  to  obey  orders,  and  there  is  a 
consolation  inthe  thought  that  no  danger  atteud.s 
the  operation,  and  that  there  will  be  a  good 
chance  for  the-  manufacture  of  orders  of  the 
day,  in  which  the  valorous  deeds  of  their  ances- 
tors will  be  sung  in  grandiloquent  terms.  I 
wonder  will  they  remind  the  world  that  the 
last  appearance  of  a  Roumanian  Army  at  this 
particular  locality  was  in  1396,  when  that 
"  lion  of  the  faith  ''  and  "bulwark  of  ('hristian- 
ity,"  Prince  Micia,  helped  Sultan  Bajazet  to  de- 
feat and  capture  the  Array,  of  Sigisraund,  of 
Hungary  1  However,  thero  will  be  a  fine  oppor- 
tunity tor  winning  cheap  glory,  and  as  the 
Roumanians  are  a  clever  people,  they  will  make 
the  moat  of  it,  and  finally  talk  themselves  into 
the  belief  that  they  are  really  heroes,  even 
should  they  fail  to  impo.se  the  conviction  upon 
the  ignorant  outside  barbarians  of  Western 
Europe. 

As  Giurgevo  has  ceased  to  offer  the  slightest 
interest  for  the  moment.  I  have  come  over  to 
this  place,  in  the  hope  of  seeing  or  hearing 
something  worthy  of  record,  but  all  that  I  c^n 
tell  is  that.  Oltenitza  is  a  miserable  little  town  of 
4,000  inhabitants  and  a  small  garrison  of  Rus- 
sians, and  with  a  few  water  batteries  armed 
with  heavy  guns  along  the  Danube  ;  also  that 
exactly  opposite  is  another  miserable  little  town 
called  Turtakai,  with  5,000  inhabitants,  a 
Ttirkish  garrison,  and  a  petty  fori,  or  rather 
block-house,  between  which  and  the  warlike  in- 
stitutions on  the  left  bank  there  is  a  spasmodic 
bannonade  occasionally,  neither  belligerent  tak- 
ing much  harm  from  his  adversary,  the 
advantages  of  po.sitional  command  ly- 
ing with  the  Turks ;  those  of  weight 
of  metal  with  the  Russians.  The 
officer  in  command  assured  me  that  there 
are  only  2,000  Ottoman  troops  on  the  other 
side,  and  that  "he  could  go  there  whenever  he 
pleased  with  500  men."  He  changed  tJie  subject 
when  I  asked  if  he  were  equally'  sure  as  to  the 
manner  *^d  date  of  his  return.  Calarach,  fpur 
hours  further  on,  opposite  Silistria,  is  equally 
uninteresting  with  Oltenitza.  Here  there  are 
more  cannons  and  more  troops,  not  so.  much  to 
operate  against  the  right  baiik,  which  entirely 
commands  the  fiat,  marshy  Wallachian  nosition, 
hut  in  order  to  check  Turkish  raids,  or,  per- 
haps, to  keep  at  bay,  until  something  could  be 
organized  iidand,  a  Turkish  invj^ion,  a  danger 
by  no  means  imaginary-,  of  which  Prince  Gor- 
tschiikoff  has  already  expressed  his  apprehen- 
sions- Perhaps  it  v.-as  their  exile  from  civiliza- 
tion and  amusement  which  made  the  Russian 
officers  a  little  moi'Q  communicative  than 
their  comrades  elsewhere,  for  certainly  when 
alone  with  me,  they  ventured  upon  rather  free 
criticisms  of  the  campaign.  Wonderfully  well 
posted  in  the  theory  of  their  profession,  these 
gentlemen  aro  equally  ignorant  of  its  practical 
working.  They  are  disappointed  evidently ; 
they  expected  a  triumphal  march  to  Constanti- 
nople, with  just  enough  resistance  by  tho 
enemy  to  give  occasion  for  a  free  distribution 
of  St.  Geoi^'s  crosses  and  to  help  on  promo- 
tion, but  they  don't  at  all  fancy  outpost  service 
in  a  dirty  Wallachian  village,  with  a  broad 
river  between  them  and  the  Turks,  without  any 
onportunity  for  winning  distinction.  They  are 
_i&4d  of  jgeace,  and  yet  they  say  that  peace.

Chicago,  Aug.  13.— Gen.  Sheridan  was  in 
receiptor  numerous  dispatches  from  Gen.  Gib- 
bon through  Gen.  Teny  at  St.  Paul,  and  Hon. 
Martin  Maginnis,  Delegate  to  Congress  from 
Montana  to-day,  regarding  the  late 
flght  with  the  Nez  Perces.  It  was  de- 
nied that  Gen.  Gibbon  lost  any  gfun  or 
camp  outfit  or  supplies,  as  was  reported.  Gen. 
Sheridan  telegraphed  to  Washington  this  even- 
ing that  he  regarded  this  as  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant victories  of  the  war.  The  people  in  Mon- 
tana are  well  satisfied  with  the  result  of  the 
battle  as  is  indicated  by  the  dispatches  whfch 
rcachea  here  to-night  at  military  head-quarters. 
Following  is  the  substance  of  a  dispatch  to  Gen. 
Sheridan  from  Hon.  Martin  Maginnis : 

Helena,  Montana,  Aug.  13,  1877. 

Gibbon,  after  a  rapid  march  of  200  miles,  with 
150  soldiers  and  33  citizens,  overtook  all  the  Idaho 
bostlles,  about  350  warriors,  on  the  northerly  edge 
of  Big  Hole  prairie-  Leaving  a  guard  with 
his  train,  he  made  a  night  marcli  and  attacked  at 
daylight.  He  drove  the  Indians  from  their  camp, 
and  got  a  position  on  a  timbered  point,,  around 
wlilch  he  fought  till  dark,  when  the  Indians  retreat- 
ed. Their  killed  ana  wounded  are  estimated  at  1.50- 
The  reports  that  the  Indiana  got  Gibbon's  wagons 
are  false.  They  got  nothing  but  a  severe  punisli- 
ment  in  the  hardest  fought  battle  of  the  war. "

patch was  received  at  Jlilitary  Head-quarters 
to-dav :  _, 

Big  Hole  Pass,  .4ug  11,  18/  /. 

My  loss  in  the  battle  of  the  9th  was  seven 
officers  and  53  men  killed  and  wounded.  I  am 
satisfied  the  Indians  suffered  much  more,  forthe 
surprfie  was  complete,  and  many  were  killed  in 
the  teppees,  or  ninnipg  out.  Forty  dead  Indians 
were  counted  on  alX)Ut  one-half  the  battle-field. 
Gen.  Howard  haa  just  arrived,  and  I  believe  he 
ciin  catch  them  again.  As  soon  as  t  can  get  tho 
iiervices  of  a  doctor  I  propose  to  move  to  Deer 
Lodge  and  take  most  of  our  wounded  to  Fort 
Shaw.  They  are  all  doing  well,  but^l  fear  liieut.

Gen.  Gibbon,  with  about  -00  men.  attacked  the 
Indian  ramp  in  the  Big  Hole  Ijasin  at  d:iT\-n  yester- 
day- He  seems  to  have  lutd  coni»iderable  success  at 
first,  but  the  Indians  fought  him  all  day.  Several 
men  from  the  battlo-tield  met  me  here,  18  miles  dis-

killed  and  wounded-  Capt.  Logan  and  Lieut.  Brad- 
ley, are  reported  killed,  an<l  Gen.  Gibbon  slightly 
wounded.  The  distance  from  Mis.soula  to  the  battle- 
field is  about  l:i5  miles.  I  have  pressed  every  nen  e 
to  overtake  Gibbons,  who  had  four  days  the  start  of 
me,  from  CowallLs.  Montana.  I  unshed  forward 
with  a  small  escort  to-day,  making  5;>  miles,  learing

To  Gen.  E.  D.  Townsend,  Washington,  D.  C\: 

There  is  no  further  official  news  from  Montana 
this  morning.  Gen.  Terry  thinks  that  the  pub- 
lished dispaU-hes  from  Gen.  Gibbonrfo  Gov.  Potts 
are  not  genuine.  Gibbon  had  doctors  and  med- 
ical supplies,  and  did  not  lose  his  train  or 
howitzer.

eli's  Station  this  morning,  and  said  that  Pierce 
Brothers'  ranch  had  been  burned  and  that  fir- 
ing had  been  heard  in  that  vicinity.  The 
Pierces'  ranch  is  20  miles  from  Lovell's  Sta-

Chicago,  Aug.  13. — A  meeting  of  the 
Chicago  policy-holders  of  the  Charter  Oak  Life 
In.surance  Company  was  held  at  the  Sherman 
House  this  afternoon,  for  the  purpose  of  hear- 
ing the  report  of  the  committee  of  three 
recently  chosen  to  visit  Hartford  to 
represent  the  interests  of  said  policy- 
holders and  see  what  their  chances  were.  Rev. 
Dr.  W.  H.  Ryder  presided,  and.  as  Chairman  of 
the  committee,  read  a  report  roundly  condemn- 
ing the  management  of  Furber  and 
Walkoley  as  one  of  barefaced  rob>>ery, 
and  indorsing  the  present  greatly  improved  con- 
dition of  the  compafly.  Hon.  William  Bross, 
one  of  the  committee,  in  speaking  to  the  report, 
said  that,  as  Western  men  and  policy- 
holders, t^ey  should  give  Hartford  and  the 
State  of  Connecticut  to  understand  that  they 
mean  business.  For  one,  he  demanded  that 
Furber.  "Walkeley,  and  others  interested 
in  the  robbery  of  the  Charter  Oak 
Company  l>e  sent  to  the  Penitentiary 
for  their  stupendous  ^iUainv.  Hartford  must 
punish  her  scoundrels,  he  added,  or  confidence 
m  her  trustworthiness  and  her  honesty  is  for- 
ever gone.  Mr.  George  Sherwood,  anotberof  the 
committee,  said:  **  We  came  to  the  conclusion, 
and  that  after  thorough  investigation,  that 
these  persoiLs — Messrs.  Wiggins  and  Furber — 
who  were  intrusted  with  the  immen.se 
orphan  fund,  were  installed  in  their 
place  through  corruption  and  fraud,  and 
their  management  has  been  reckless, 
crtie!  and  criminal.  For  one  1  can-  permit  no 
apology  for  them,  and  cannot  remain  silent  and 
allow  them  to  go  unpunished."  At  the  con- 
clu-sion  of  Mr.  Sherwood's  remarks  Mr.  Bross 
felt  constrained  to  remark,  with  all  respect 
to  the  opinions  of  Rev.  Dr.  Ryder,  that  in 
the  language  of  the  late  Parson  Brownlow. 
it  was  his  deliberate  opinion  that  there 
were  hundreiis  of  thousands  of  far  better  men 
in  hell  than  Sam  White  Walkelev  and  the  Direc- 
tors of  the  C'harter  Oak. Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany. The  following  rcfsolution  w^-is  then 
adopted : 

Sesolrcd.  That  we  eon.«ilder  it  of  vital  importance 
that  in  fiiliog  the  vacancies  now  existing  in  the 
new  Board  of  ETirectors.  gentlemen  should  be  elected 
who  are  known  as  capable  and  honest,  and  especially 
those  who  are  free  from  anyentai^Iementor  alliance 
with  the  former  managers  of  tho  company.

Washington,  Aug.  13. — The  Department 
of  State  has  rpceived  a  dispatch  from  the 
t'nitod  States  Minister  to  Mexico,  giving  an  ac- 
count of  t'he  distribution  of  premiums  in  the 
City  of  Mexico  to  Mexican  exhibitors  at  the  Cen- 
tennial Exhibition.  He  says  the  distribution 
took  place  at  the  Xational  Theatre,  the  awards 
being  made  l)y  the  President  of  the  Republic  in 
the  presence  of  his  Cabinet  and  a  large  audience. 
A  procession  composed  of  the  industrial  organi- 
zations of  the  city  escorted  the  President  to  the 
tbeatre.  A  general  sentiment  of  gratification 
was  manifested  at  the  successful  part  taken  by 
Mexico  in  thr  Exhibition,  and  for  the  attention 
which  its  Commissioners  and  exhibitors  had  re- 
cei  vcd. 

Another  dispatch  from  the  same  source 
state*  that  the  Federal  Supreme  Court  of  Mexi- 
co has  recently  decided  that  under  the  Constitii- 
tion  the  legislative,  executive,  and  judicial  pow- 
ers are  independent,  and  that  the  functions  of 
one  cannot  be  delegated  to  or  be  exercised  by 
either  of  the  others,  so  that  the  Executive,  by 
virtue  of  **  extraordinary  faculties  *'  conferred 
even  by  Congress,  cannot  impose  taxes  or  de- 
cree laws.  A  tax  of  one  per  cent,  upon  capital 
levied  July  19,  187t».  by  a  decree  of  President 
Lerdo.  bv  virtue  of  the  "extraordinary  facul- 
ties'* conferred  by  Congress,  being  disputed  by 
a  citizen  who  sought  the  protection  of  the  court, 
occasioned  the  alx)ve  decision. 

Koferring  to  the  published  accounts  relative 
to  the  tiring  on  the  American  Consul's  boat 
while  flying  the  American  flag  at  Acapiilco,  a

of  State  from  the  American  minister,  stating 
that  the  affair  Ls  now  being  investigated  by  the

St.  Louis,  Aug.  13. — Col.  John .  X, 
Joyce,  the  only  victim  of  the  Whisky  Ring'wB.o 
was  not  pardoned  out  of  the  penltczitiary  by 
President  Grant,  was  released  to-day  by  United 
States  Judge  Krekel,  at  Jefferson  City.  Th« 
case  came  up  on  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus,  th« 
plea  of  Joyce  being  that  his  sentence  of  three 
yearsand  a  half  was  cumulative,  that  ho  could 
not  have  been  legally  sentenced  to  more  than 
two  years'  imprisonment,  and  that,  having 
served  that  period,  he  was  entitled  to  discharge. 
Argument  was  heard  by  Judge  Krekel  three 
weeks  ago,  and  since  that  time  the  prisoner  baa 
been  allowed  the  freedom  of  Jefferson  City  un- 
der the  espionage  of  the  Marshal.  The  follow- 
ing isthe  material  part  of  the  court's  opinion  : 

**  Joyce's  case  happened  to  bo  the  first  of  tho  long 
line  of"  whisky  f ranu  cases  tried  hfrc-  and  in  other  ' 
courts.  Well  do  I  remember  my  deep  anxiety  to 
bring  the  offenders  to  juRtice  on  the  one  hand,*  and 
not  to  be  unjust  to  the  defendants,  upon  whom  out- 
Tage«l  public  justice  was  about  to  descend.  Th* 
justice  of  the  case  is  now  ronijwtratiTely 
easy  to  determine :  not  so  the  law,  for. 
the  question  is  a  grave  one,  how  fw 
a  court  under  h.il>eiw  rorifUB  procecdinc*  '•aa

Ing  less,  than  is  upon  the  point  of  prt)nou»r.ixi#;  *wjo

Saratoga,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  13.— The  Senate 
met,  and  on  motion  of  Senator  Gerard  the  |or- 
der  of  summing  up  was  settled  as  follows:  "thfi 
counsel  for  the  State  to  open,  then  one  or  both 
of  the  counsel  for  the  respondent  to  sum  up  on 
that  side,  after  which  the  counsel  for  the  Stp.te 
shall  close.  Senator  Surugue  then  read  the  i^ol- 
lowing^

disastrous  to  other  savings  bfinkv  as  well  as  to  otpet 
financial  interests.  I  suppnsM,  therefore,  that  one  ol 
the  principal  and  vital  questions  r.-u-h  Senator  will 
have  to  determine  in  his  own  mind  will  be.  whether 
the  reason  tugged  affords  any  jnstillcation  of  thejde- 
l;iy  in  the  action  of  the  ^^up'^rintendent.  To  enable 
me  to  come  to  a  conclusion  upoTt  this  branch  of  tho 
case,  I  should  bt-  ulnd  to  hear  an  argument  upon  tha 
following  ijuestious: 

/.•|>W — In  continuing  to  pay  its  depositors  subse- 
quently to  March.  1875,  was  the  Third-Avenue  Sav- 
ings liauk  guilty  of  a  fraud  upon  the  United  States 
Bankrupt  act.  by  making  prefereuiial  pajTUt^nts 
witliin  the  meaning  of  the  ihirty-liftli  and  thifty-sev- 
enih  sections  of  that  act :  and  if  so,"  does  the  reason, 
nrired  by  the  respondent  afford  any  justification jlor 
permitting  such  a  fraud  to  l-e  perpetrated  ?

the  resolution  of  Senator  Gerard,  referring

ILLNESS  OF  SEyATOB  M0RTON.\   / 

SlpmalI>iapatiAtotheynD-TorhT\ma.  \ 

Ikdujs'apolis,  Ind.,  Aug.  13. — Senaitor 
O-  P.  Morton  passed  through  this  city  this  erjen- 
ing  oi^his  way  to  Richmond,  in  this  State.  :Ho 
was  accompanied  by  his  family  and  his  physi- 
cian,  Dr.  M.  C.  Thompson,  of  this  city,  who 
met  him  at  Peoria  in  response  to  a  telegram, 
and  will  remain  with  him  until  there  is  an  im- 
provement in  his  health.  The  Senator's  sick- 
ness is  quite  serious,  and  is  thought  to  be  the 
result  di  over-exertion.  There  were  grave  ap- 
prehensions at  one  time  during  the  journey  that 
he  wouldnotgethome  alive.  His  condition  to-d&y 
was,  however,  much  better  than  yesterday.  The 
left  arm  is  paralyzed,  but  the  physician  thinks 
only  temporarily.  There  is  no  symptom  of 
paralysis  in  his  face,  and  his  mind  1ms  not  been 
at  all  impaired.  Should  his  arm  continue  par- 
alyzed he  will  he  rendered  helpless,  as  he  cae 
only  been  able  to  walk  by  the  support  of  c&nea. 
Dr.  Thompson  thinks  that  in  tame  he  will  re- 
cover the  use  of  the  arm,  but  for  the  present  he 
will  be  permitted  to  see  no  one  except  bU 
family.  j^    _

Essex  Connty^N.Y.,  Friday,  Aixg.  10, 1877.  J 

Each  year  aotes  the  inoreaaing  |>apularity 
of  this  region.  Tha  conntleu  delightful  walkj, 
whether  oa  the  open  road  or  In  tha  aeclodad 
forest  patha.  the  nomeroaa  caseades,  and  soli- 
tary moTzntain  tamBr  offer  a  combination  of 
XDOuntain  and  forest  scenery  unsarpas«ed,  per- 
haps, in  the  country.  The  valley  itself  ia  not 
more  than  seven  miles  long,  and  through  Its 
entire  length  flows  the  Eastern  An  Sable,  now 
rushing  in  noisy  rapids,  now  falling  In  grace- 
ful caacades,  and  again  ailently  regidnlng  ita 
spent  force  in  deep,  still,  trout-abounding  pools, 
until  its  tnmultnons  course  is  merged  in  that  of 
its  western  branch,  at  their  meeting  at  "the 
Forks/*  Twenty  years  ago  the  attraetlona  of 
this  vsUev  were  hardly  known  beyond  its  own 
mountain  walL  In  1857,  Mr.  T.  S.  PerUns, 
and  close  upon  him  a  number  of  other  cele- 
brated artists,  penetrated  this  neighborhood, 
and  by  their  sketches  and  paintings  disclosed  to 
the  outside  world  many  of  the  charms  secluded 
among  the  mountain  fastnesses  ef  the  region. 
The  elevation  of  **the  Flats"  (the  local  name 
of  the  valley)  is  said  to  be  1,200  feet  in  the 
moro  populous  parts,  while  Mrs.  Stetson's  a|id 
and  Smith  Beede's  boardings-houses  at  the 
southern  end  are  at  an  elevation  of  about  300 
feet  higher.  The  mountains  Hse  abruptly  from 
the  valley  on  all  sides,  coasplcnons  among 
which  are  Camel's  Hump,  Hopkins'  Peak, , 
Giant  of  the  Valley,  and  the  triple-headed  Spread- 
eaele  Mountain.  Within  sound  and  almost 
within  siglit  of  "Stetson's"  are  the  rapids 
known  as  Russell's  Falls,  where  the  river  falls 
200  feet  in  a  distance  of  about  1,500  feet.  The 
river  here  Hows  through  a  de^  ravine  in  places 
100  feet  or  more  in  height,  and  with  its  rocky 
flurroundings  presents  a  scene  of  such  wildnens 
and  solitude  an  to  recall  the  scenery  of  the 
Kocky  Mountains.  Thft  "falls"  may  be 
reached  by  a  path  from  the  road  past  Stetson's, 
or  by  following  the  blazed  trail  in  the  rear  of 
Beede's.  Thi.s  trail  lead8  to  a  point  on  the  sum- 
mit of  the  porge  whence  the  rapids  may  be  seen 
many  feut  below.  Following  the  trail  a  few 
rods  further  up  the  river,  a  scene  not  less  cu- 
rious than  beautiful  is  presented.  The  river, 
flowing  withirreat  force  and  rapidity,  has  worn 
a  channel  through  the  huge  boulders,  and 
Bweepin^r  around  in  graceful  curves  foxms  a 
cataract  shaped  like  a  great  letter  S.  A  ahort 
distance  above  and  close  by  the  trail  the  brook 
passes  tbrouch  a  deep  crevice  forming  *'  the 
Flume."  A  walk  of  half  an  hour  brings  one 
in  front  of  the  Beede  Houao.  where  the  best 
view  of  the  Oiaut.  its  sides  marred  and 
scarred  by  land-slides  and  avalanches,  is  ob- 
tained. Far  up  on  the  mountain-side  the  sum- 
mit of  Roaring  Brook  Falls,  otherwise  called 
the  Giant's  Cuscadc.  is  seen,  white  and  spark- 
line:  in  the  :3unUght.  Au  easy  walk  of  about 
half  a  mile,  and  the  Staubach  of  the  Adiron- 
datks  is  reached.  Roaring  Brook  from  its  lofty 
m<mntain  source  comes  tumbling  on  ita  way  un- 
til :t  pours  its  waters  in  a  series  of  leaps  over 
tht'  pteep  sides  of  a  granite  wall  or  precipice, 
whiise  heiirht  i»  variously  estimated  at 
from  ;»00  to  ."jOi"*  feet.  Nothing  could  be  more 
tempting  than  the  invitation  this  solid  rock,  in 
its  easy  repose,  soems  to  offer  to  the  pedestrian 
to  opcend  it.  A  number  of  persons  have,  I  be- 
lieve, attempted  to  scale  it;  among  others,  a 
certain  visitor,  a  few  years  ago,  who,  when  half 
way  ui>  the  cliff,  felt  his  courage  collapse  bo 
coniplerely  that  he  was  left  perfectly  helpless. 
It  was  not  until  ropes  had  been  obtained  and  a 
comrade  had  slid  down  to  him  from  the  top,  that 
he  was  rescued  from  his  singuiarly  picturesque 
position.  ^ 

Olio  of  mv  many  visits  thither  was  paid  soon 
sfter  a  heav-y  rain.  The  rotrk  was  still  wet  and 
slipper}',  and  ono  band  was  encumbered  with  an 
tinibrrUa.  Yielding  to  an  insane  impuh*e,  I 
scrambled  up  the  face  of  the  wall,  and  bad 
reached  about  half  way  to  the  top,  when  sud- 
denly the  clouds  broke,  and  the  spray  was  im- 
mediately illumined  with  a  brilliant  rainbow. 
To  ono  standing:  on  a  three-inch  ledge,  with 
1Z)0  fpet  of  precipice  al>ove  and  below,  even  a 
rainbow  is  hardly  solid  enough  to  give  a  se- 
c'lrp  foothold.  Nothing  more  substantial, 
however,  soomed  to  offer  itself  by 
way  of  assistance,  and  the  descent  was 
Ihi'^uu  and  euded  almo.st  simultaneously. 
Tiicrc  is  a  more  rational  method  of  making  the 
ascffnt  than  by  imitating  the  tactics  of  the  squir- 
Tf-l.  and  thati'abygoingupbythesideof  thecliff. 
There  is  no  re;^ilar  patn.  and  it  is  very  steep 
rlimhing.  The  ground  i«  very  soft,  and  the 
tourist  frequently  sink,s  up  to  his  knees  in  the 
moss.  A  scrambling  walk,  or  rather  wade, 
leads  to  the  top  of  the  fall,  where,  in  the  raag- 
niilcence  of  the  view,  the  toilsome  ascent  is  for- 
gotten. At  a  Khort  distance  below  the  fall  the 
brook  is  crossed  by  the  trail  to  Chapel 
For  d.  Huffe  moss-covered  boulders  are 
Rtrpwn  with  lavish  munificence  along  the.  path. 
The  lakelet  is  perched  high  tip  on  the  aide  of  the 
mountain,  the  cliffs  of  the  Giant  rising  almost 
pTyipndi'ularly  from  its  shores.  The  pervading 
Silence  and  solitude  render  the  place  a  favorite 
resort  for  deer-*loatiug  ;  with  a  skillful  hunts- 
man on  one  side  and  the  impassable  cliffs  on 
the  other,  a  deer  wotUd  have  little  chance  to 
escape.  A  bKnd  trail  leads  to  the  north-west, 
about  half  a  mile,  to  another  secluded  lakelet, 
400  feet  Jiigher,  known  as  the  Giant's  Wash- 
bowl. Visitors  in  search  of  the  picturesque  will 
find  an  interesting  but  laborious  walk  up  the 
bed  of  Chapel  Pond  Brook,  tlie  outlet 
of  the  i>ond,  where  the  rock  grouping 
is  of  the  moat  remaricabJe  character. 
As  tlie  Giant's  Ca.scade  is  the  kinc,  so  the  rain- 
bow is  the  queen  of  the  water-falls  in  this  region. 
Following  the  path  through  the  forest  to  the 
lower  Au  Sable  Pond,  and  crossing  the  drift- 
wood which  forms  a  natural  bridge  at  it*  outlet, 
the  trail  w>on  after  strikes  Rainbow  Brook. 
Ascending  the  bed  of  the  brook  for  about  half  a 
mile,  fOne  suddenly  enters  a  gorge,  the  rocky 
walls  of  which  towers  over  100  fe«t  above.  The 
tides  and  the  rocks  in  the  bed  of  the  brook  are 
covered  with  a  brilliant  green  mosa.  and  the 
fiwrroundings  are  remarkably  beautiful.  Over 
the  sides  of  this  glen  the  brook  makes  a  clear 
leap  of  120  (some  say  140)  feet. 

Purti  are  a  very  few  of  the  many  attraeflons 
in  and  about  this  **  the  greenest  of  our  vaUeys.'*

AmBeting.of  tha  Twenty-eighth  Ward  Aux- 
iliary of  the  Sodaty  for  the  Preventlon^rf  Crime  was 
held  laat  erenljig  In  the  Scotch  Freabyterian  Chnreh, 
(Bar.  Dr.  Milligan*t»)  on  Twanty-eJghth-street,  be- 
tween Ninth  and  Tenth  avenues.  Tbeia  was  a  very 
alight  attendance,  the  anall  church  of  the  Cove- 
nanters balng  Boaroely  one-third  folL  The  meeting 
was  opened  with  prayer  by  Bev.  H.  C.  Cronin,  after 
which  Bav.  Mr.  Plested  introduead  Bev.  J.  C.  K. 
l^Uigan.  the  Pastor  of  the  Church.  Mr.  MnUgan 
■poke  vavy  earnestly,  and  was  rather  severe  upon 
aoma  parsons  who  stand,  as  ha  thinks,  in  the 
iray  of  the  enforeement  of  t)ie  liquor  laws. 
"  Judge  Smith  and  the  devil,"  he  said,  bad  opened 
the  way  to  free  ale  and  beer.  The  liquor  men  would 
not  stop  at  that.  They  would  not  rest  until  all  liquor' 
was  |ui  frae  as  ale  and  beer  tmder  Jadge 
Smith's  four-word  dedsiou.  The  liquor  men 
owned  tha  Judges  and  most  of  the  Bar. 
He  said  that  his  f  nend '  Dr.  Crosby  was  not  a  total 
abstinence  man.  He  used  fermented  wine  at  his 
communion  table,  and  believed  that  there  could  be  no 
communion  without  it ;  and  neither  did  he  think 
wine  out  of  place  on  the  dinner  table.  The  speaker 
did  not  thiuk  that  Dr.  Crosby  would  visit  a  comer 
liqnor  store,  but  he  would  probably  patronize  a 
grocer  who  sold  liquor. 

The  speakers  all  advocated  agitation.  "  I  believe, " 
said  Rev.  Mr.  Gronin,  *'  that  we  should  not  rest  un- 
til there  is  not  a  spot  of  grotmd  in  the  country  big 
enouich  to  make  rum  upon."  Notonly,  he  thoughts, 
should  the  day  laborer  be  deprived  of  his  ^in,  but  the 
merchant  should  also  be  deprived  of  ms  gloss  of 
wine.  Mon  were  not  made  drunkards  In  bucket! 
shopst  Thousands  of  youne  men  were  going  down  to  j 
hell  through  the  use  of  liquor  who  did  not  know  | 
what  a  bucket  shop  was.  Men  who  would  bo; 
ashamed  to  drink  a  schooner  of  lager  for  five 
cents  wocdd  order  beer  by  the  doien  at  the 
groeer'a  and  take  it  home  and  drink  it. 
why.  the  speaker  asked,  during  the  recent  disturb- 
ances In  the  citlas.  did  the  Mayors  order  the  liquor 
•hops  closed !  WTiy.  he  wanted  to  know,  did  they 
not  close  tha  barber  shops  i  Why  were  the  liquor 
shops  closed  from  sunrise  to  sunset  on  election  day  ? 
Because,  he  argued,  even  the  cormpt  Judges  and 
politicians  recognized  the  danger  of  mm.  The  so- 
ciety proposed,  he  said,  to  close  all  the  liquor  shops ; 
to  say  to  the  owners,  "  You  shall  sell  no  more."  But 
tha  liquor-dealers  could  put  down  $10,000,000  to 
fight  the  sodetv.  They  would  fight  the  society  to 
the  bitter  end.  The  law  officers  would  side  with  the 
liquor-dealers,  because  behind  each  stood  five  or  sir 
men  saying,  "  You  will  lose  your  place,  if  you  don't." 
These  liquor-dealers  are  ali  law-breakers.  He  did 
not  suppose  that  there  was  an  honest  Hquor-dealer 
in  this  City.  Our  law-makers  and  our  law  adminis- 
trators were  in  leaque  with  these  men. 

Bev.  Mr.  Plested  said  that  the  society  was  In  need 
of  money,  and  earnestly  requested  the  hearers  to  join 
the  society,  and  aid  it  with  at  least  their  initiation 
fee  of  $1,  if  they  cf)u1d  afford  nothing  more.  Blanks 
were  then  distributed  among  the  audience,  which 
were  filled  out,  in  lome  rase^.  with  the  name  of  the 
giver  and  the  amount  which  he  gave. 

Bev.  John  P.  Betker,  the  Chaplain  at  the  Tombs, 
wished  to  have  the  fact  clearly  understood  that  this 
was  not  a  temperance  meeting  to  promote  total  ab- 
stinence, but  that  it  was  a  meeting  of  a  society 
formed  to  prevent  crime  by  iusisting  upon  the  en- 
forcement of  gomi  laws,  already  in  ex- 
istence, which  Jiad  been  hitherto  disregarded. 
Rev.  Mr.  Plested  said,  in  closing  the  moctlni^.  that 
the  Hqnor-dealers  who  had  been  pluming  themselves 
on  the  thought  that  they  could  take  dowu  their  three 
beds  aud  sell  what  t-iey  pleased,  siuce  the  sle  and 
beer  decision  of  J  Atice  Smith,  would  find  that  they 
were  mistaken.*  The  «»ciety  would  promptly  cause 
the  arrest  of  every  liquor-dealer  whom  they  caught 
selling  any  other  liquor  than  ale  or  beer.  After  the 
singing  of  the  Doxology  the  meeting  was  adjourned. 


TWO  FVRIOrS  BATTLXKQ  FIELDS. 

Jackson  Field  and  his  wife,  Ellen,  were  ar- 
raigned before  Justice  Flammer,  in  the  Fifty-seventh- 
Street  Police  Court,  yesterday,  the  complainant  against 
them  being  Officer  Brennan.  of  the  Eighteenth  Pre- 
dnet.  Both  prisoners  gave  evidence  of  having  been 
participants  in  a  severe  struggle,  and  the  officer's  face 
was  also  disfigured  by  scratches.  On  Sunday  after- 
noon Officer  Brennan,  hearing  cries  for  assistance 
proceeding  fn^  the  apartments  of  the  prisoners  in 
No.  405  East  Seventeenth -street,  entered  the  house. 
The  door  of  a  room  in  which  a  conflict  was  poing  on 
was  locked,  and  he  was  compelled  to  break  it  open. 
He  then  fouad  Field  standing  over  his  wife,  who  was 
Insensible,  and .  he  was  about  to  strike  her  with  a 
chair.  ITie  officer  wrested  the  ohUr  away  from  him. 
and  then  atteihpted  to  arrest  him.  A  violent  ivtniggle 
took  place,  in  the  course  of  which  Mrs.  Field  re- 
vived, and  went  to  her  husband's  assistance.  She 
enabled  Field  to  break  away  from  Brennan  and  to  go 
to  a  closet,  where  he  procured  a  carving-knife,  with 
which  he  attempted  to  stab  the  officer.  The  latter 
escaped  the  weapon  and  drew  his  revolver,  with 
which  he  cowed  both  his  assailants,  whom  he  took  to 
the  station-houfie.  In  the  court'  OtBcer  Brennan 
chargwi  t^eld  with  felonions  assault,  and  his  wife 
with  assault  and  batter>'.  Justice  Flammer  commit- 
ted both  prisoners  for  trial. 

THE  CBABTER  OAK  LIFE. 

Speaking  of  the  management  of  the  Charter 
Oak  Life  Insurance  Company,  the  Hartford  Cowant 
of  yeaterday  says : 

"It  will  be  rememl>eTed  that  Mr.  Charlton  T. 
I>wi8,  Secretary  nf  the  CThsmber  of  Life  Insurance, 
testified  before -the  Examining  Committee  of  the 
Albany  Legislature  last  Winter  that  he  played  an 
important  part  in  bringing  about  the  change  of  man- 
agement In  the  Charter  Oak  Xiife  Insurance  Com- 
pany, which  l)ronght  Messrs.  Purber  and  Wiggin 
nere,  and  said  that  he  received  $15,000  from 
Mr.  Wlggln.  and  $5,000  from  Mr.  White,  Treasurer 
of  the  company,  for  his  services  in  the  transa/*- 
tlon.  The  In*%iTancf  Tivxtn  announces  that  Mr. 
Lewis  has  restored  the  $5,000  he  got  of  the  com- 
pany money,  and  has  sent  $7,500  to  Mr.  Wiggin, 
that  being  what  he  himself  received,  as  he  states, 
the  balance  having  been  paid  by  liim  to  another 
partv,  and  the  Tiine$  says  :  '  Mr.  I«wi8,  in  remov- 
ing tVls  stigma  from  his  name,  will  relieve  the  Cham- 
ber of  Life  Insurance  from  a  shameful  reputation 
which  wonld  otherwise  have  destroved  Its- influence 
and  led  to  Us  speedy  diwsolntlon.'  The  fiunday  ftlobr, 
of  this  dtv,  says  It  is  understood  that  President 
Jewell  will  institute  prnsecntions  against  sundry 
persons  who  received,  either  as  stockholders  or  Di- 
rectors of  the  Charter  Oakfunlawful  dividends  or 
perquisites  nnder  the  Walkley  management,  and  it 
Intimates  that  evidence  is  in  existence  to  make  the 
suits  effective." 


A  FRECOCIOrS  XEW-TORK  TOVTH. 
The  Albany  Argiis  tells  the  following  story  : 
"  On  tha  7th  insL.  a  lad  apparently  about  13  years 
of  age.  went  to  the  Sans  Souci  Hotel,  Ballston  Spa, 
and  registered  as  Edward  P.  Oriscom,  of  New-York. 
Ha  stayed  over  night  at  the  hotel,  and  next  morning 
told  the  manager.  Mr.  Earl,  that  he  was  gom^  to  write 
to  his  mother  to  come  and  join  him.  On  Wednesday 
he  hired  a  horse  and  phaeton,  and  drove  to  Saratogi. 
taking  with  him  a  young  village  lad,  named  Weed.  lie 
returned  the  rig  to  the  livery,  but  did  not  come  back 
to  the  hotel  at  night,  staying  at  Mr.  Weed's.  Mr. 
Earl,  beginning  to  suspect  that  something  was  wrong, 
began  to  look  for  him,  and  on  Thursdav  morning 
found  him  at  the  livery  again  hiring  the  phaeton  to 
drive  to  Bound  Lake.  Ife  caused  him  to  be  taken 
before  Jtistice  Hamilton,  to  whom  the  ■  lad  acknowl. 
edged  that  he  had  run  away  from  New- York.  He 
said  that  he  had  registered  his  correct  name,  and  that 
his  mother  was  Mrs.  Anna  Boyd,  of  No.  1-48  West 
Twenty-eighth-street,  and  that  his  stepfather  was 
employed  In  Mayor  Ely's  office.  He  had  stolen  $48 
from  his  mother's  pocket  and  started  for  the  country. 
This  amount  he  had  expended,  excepting  abofit  $  / , 
for  a  violin,  confectionery,  suit  of  clothes  for'young 
Weed,  Ac.  The  mother  was  telegraphed  to  *by  Mr. 
Earl,  and  a  reply  soon  came  to  detam  him  tmtil  he

THE  SABATOaA  RACES. 

TO-DAY'S  PaOORA|pCE— A  GREAT  RACE  TO  BE 
RON  FOB  THXCE2TNZK  STAKES— LIST  OF 
PROBABLE  STARTERS— THE  POOL-SELLCf 6. 

Sabatooa,  N-  Y.,  Monday,  Aug.  13,  1877. 
The  Vera  Cruz  fever,  which  has  raged  here 

since  that  eolt  won  the  sweepstakes  for  aU  ajres,  has 
Bubrided  since  Parole  so  easily  disposed  of  him  in 
the  Summer  Handle^  last  Satnrdar.  Tha  sneeaas 
of  tha  'Waatem  horns  had  eo  elated  tha  Ocddental 
division,  that  they  eomplately  "lost  their  heads," 
aud  began  talking  wildly,  and  some  of  the  weak- 
minded  ones  went  so  far  aa  to  say  that  they  could 
bring  scrubs  here  and  beat  the  Eastern  cracks.  It  is 
pleasant  to  note,  however,  that  a  more  moderate 
estimate  has  been  placed  upon  the  valne  of  the  West  • 
am  colts  by  their  friends,  and  that  the  braggadocio 
which  became  so  offensive  to  gentleman  who  race 
for  the  plaasure  derived  from  the  sport, 
baa  been  less  demonstrative.  Tha  frienda  of 
Bramble  conld  not  conceal  their  disappointment 
at  his  defeat  on  Saturday  in  the  Kentucky  Stakes, 
and  in  their  excitement  flaunted  $1,000  bills  in  the 
face  of  Mr.  Ehlers.  the  representative  of  Mr.  Astor, 
daring  him  to  a  match  over  the  same  distance  of 
ground.  Mr.  Ehlera  declined,  but  signified  his  will- 
ingness to  enter  Pride  of  the  Village  in  a  sweep- 
stakes of  $500  each  for  a  dash  of  one  mile.  The 
Bramble  party,  however,  would  not  nm  more  than 
three-quarters  of  a  mile,  and  so  the  matter  has  been 
compromised.  A  sweepstakes  has  been  opened  for 
tiie  2-year  olds,  $350  each,  play  or  pay,  to  close  Aug. 
15i  the  race  to  be.  ran  on  the  27131  inst.  Messrs. 
Pierre  and  George  Lorillard  have  signified  their  In- 
tention to  enter,  and  that  there  will  be  a  fine  race 
there  can  be  no  doubt.  There  Is  also  con- 
siderable discussion  as  to  which  gentleman 
has  the  best  3-year  old,  and  Mr.  Morrissey 
has  opened  a  sweepstakes  for  3-year  olds, 
$250  entrance,  play  or  pay,  one  mile  and  five- 
eighths,  also  to  close  on  the  15th  inst.  and  to  be  run 
on  the  extra  day,  so  that  the  future  Is  fraught  with 
Interest  to  all  concerned  in  turf  sports.  The  horse 
Fair  Play  has  been  returned  to  the  stable  of  James  T. 
Williams.  It  will  be  remembered  that  after  he  won 
the  selling  race  on  Thursday  laat  he  was  purchased 
by  Gen.  E.  W.  Price  for  $580  during  the  temporary 
absence  of  Mr.  Williams.  'When  the  latter  returned 
he  said  that  the  horse  did  not  belons  to  him,  but  to 
another  party,  who  intended  to  run  him  through  the 
West  this  Fall  On  these  representations  Gen.  Price 
relinquished  hia  claim  to  the  horse  for  the  amotmt  he 
paid  for  hlra. 

The  programme  for  the  morrow,  the  second  day  of 
the  meeting,  is  absorbing  the  attention  of  every  one 
to-night.  Certainly  a  more  interestins  series  of 
events  has  hardly  ever  been  promulgated,  notwith- 
standing the  excellence  of  the  preceding  ones. 
The  initial  affair  will  be  a  dash  of  three-quarters  of 
a  mile,  for  maiden  2-year  olds,  for  a  purse  of  $300, 
colts  to  carry  1 10  pounds,  and  fillies  and  geldings 
107  pounds.  There  are  nine  youngsters  engaged  in 
this,  which  includes  Clabaugh's  Jet.  byVauihall; 
Bice  &  Bethune's  Duncan  F.  Kenner,  by  Oilroy ; 
Withers'  Lexincton-Invereanld  filly ;  Pioyears 
Clifton.  Sm>tbes  Danlcheff,  Reed's  Eugene  N. 
Robinson,  P.  Lorillard's  Hildegarde,  by  Lexington, 
and  McDaniel's  filly  by  War  Dance,  out  of  Fly,  and 
filly  by  Enquirer.  To  follow  this  will  be  the  struggle ' 
for  the  Kenner  Stakes,  and  there  Is  no  more  im- 
portant event  In  the  racing  calendar,. the  winner  of 
It  having  a  reputation  firmly  established  for  future 
engagements.  Like  the  Travers  St^e,  It  takes  a 
really  good  colt  to  win  it.  Of  the  63  nomina- 
tions with  which  the  stake  closed,  nine 
are  poRt**d  as  probalde  starters,  which  will  be 
the  largeKt  field  that  has  yet  run  for  the  prize,  which 
will  l>e  worth  this  year  $4,800  to  the  winner,  and 
$300  to  the  stTond  hon»e.  Col.  McDaniel  will  send 
two  to  the  uoat.  viz..  Major  Barker,  the  sensational 
winner  of  the  mile  and  a  annrter  on  Saturday,  and 
St,  James.  Then  August  Uehnont  will  start  Susque- 
hanna, by  Leamington,  out  of  Susan  Bean,  by  Lex- 
ington, the  winner  of  the  Alabama  Stakes.  Since 
that  race  she  has  been  highly  thought  of  for  the 
Kenner, .  and  the  book-makers  had  so  manv  or- 
ders th/t  she  soon  became  the  second  favorite. 
Nest  on  the  list  Is  Pierre  Liorillard's  b.  g.  BazlL,  by 
Melbourne.  .Ir.,  out  of  Kellle  Gray,  by  Lexington,  a 
verjifa^t  colt.  It  is  said  that  he  cannot  stay  two 
miles,  but  the  wise  ones  are  often  deceived.  The 
next  on  the  list  is  Barton  &  Medinger's  b.  c.  Wash 
Booth,  by  Asteroid,  out  of  Vaudnlia,  by  Vandal,  a 
eolt  that  has  always  run  gamely  and  is  well  thought 
of  by  his  owners,  "who  are  not-  afraid  of  the  over- 
shadowing reputations  of  his  intended  competitors. 
Next  comes  Mr.  Astors  colt  Baden  Baden,  by  Au.s- 
tralian.  out  of  Lavender,  by  Wagner,  the 
winner  of  the  Kentucky  and  Jersey  Der- 
bys  and  the  Travers  .Stake,  and  naturally 
enough  tlie  prime  favorite  for  this  event. 
Some  of  the  enthusiastic  aflmirers  of  the  colt  have 
said  that  his  opponentii  will  have  to  beat  3:3'J  to  win 
the  race  ;  that  Baden  Baden  would  run  the  first  mile 
in  l:-47  and  the  second  in  1:45  on  a  good  track,  and  if 
he  does  this  It  Is  most  likely  to  "cOf>k"  tlie  crowd. 
It  \»  not  likely,  however,  that  the  race  will  be  run  in 
thismannnr:  but  the  plans  of  the  stable  are  kept  se- 
cret, aud  they  will  not  be  known  until  his  jockey  re- 
receives  iustmctiouB  at  the  mount.  Auother  stout 
colt  is  K.  A.  Clabaugh's  Cloverbrook,  by  Vauxhall, 
out  of  Maudina,  bv  Imp.  Australian,  the  winner  of 
the  Preaknesa  and  Belmont  Stakes,  but  who 
has  been  ailing  since  he  has  been 
here.  He  was  conch  Ins  l>efore  ho  ran 
In  the  Travers  Stake,  and' yesterday  rooming  he  still 
showed  symptoms  of  a  cold.  Mr.  Clabaugh,  however, 
has  como  to  see  the  colt  run.  and  ha.H  faith  that  lie 
will  make  a  eood  show  in  the  race.  Ei-<tov.  Bowie'B 
filly  Oriole,  by  Kingfisher,  Out  of  My  Slaryland,  by 
Brown  Dick,  Is  well  thought  of  and  backed,  and 
Thomas  W.  Doswell's  b.  g.  Bushwhacker,  by  Imp. 
Bonnie  Scotland,  ont  of  Anna  Bu.sh.  by  LiextDgton.  is 
not  without  friends.  Tims,  taking  it  nil  in  alL 
the  Kenner  Stake  has  not  had  a  murJi  better 
field  of  starters.  Another  great  r.ice  will 
be  the  dash  of  a  mile  and  a  half  for  all  ages,  to  carrj- 
100  pounds,  for  which  there  are  to  be  four  com- 
petitors, including  Tom  Ochiltree.  Parole.  Virglnlus. 
and  Glangow.  The  first  three  are  well  known  to  pos- 
sess a  wonderful  turn  of  speed,  and  Glasgow  Is  the 
dark  one  who  has  not  yet  started  here,  but  his 
chanccH  are  thoufjht  to  be  very  slim  in  such  coni^ny. 
The  concluding  event  will  be  a  selling  race  of  a  mile 
and  an  eighth  for  all  ages,  with  the  usual  allow- 
ances, and  the  following  seven  have  been  entered, 
viz.:  Brunette,  to  be  sold  for  $300,  99  pounds: 
Maritime.  $300,  101   pounds;    Dan  K..  $1,000.  90 

rounds;  Partnen«hip,  $7.S0,  112  pounds;  Orlola, 
1,000,  9S  pounds  .-  C^ardinal  Wolsey.  $1,000.  90 
Eounds,  and  Lady  Salyers,  $1,000.  8**  ponnds.  Such 
\  the  days  sport  mapped  out  for  b»-morrow,  and  it 
needs  no  further  remark  to  reconmiend  it  to  the  at- 
tention of  sportsmen.  The  pools  sold  to-day  at  the

SE^fATOB  CONKLnrO— WHAT  THE  '*  MA- 
;  CBINE"  HAS  ACCOMPLISHED  POR  THE 
DI JTRICT. 
The  ]  Qonthly  meeting  of  the  Sixteenth  DIb- 
triet  Be  mbllcan  Association,  held  last  evening  at  the 
head-qu  uters,  No.  230  Third-avenue,  vras  well  at- 
tended. In  the  absence  of  Col.  Frank  E.  Howe,  the 
Preside:  it,  Mr.  Richard  M.  Lush  was  called  to  the 
Ohalr.  3  Toposltions  of  60  candidates  for  membership 
Were  re^  elved  and  referred  to  the  Committee  of  Ad- 
ndssion  ,  and  40  persons  were  admitted  to  member- 
■hipv  It.  lUchael  Cregan  made  a  brief  addrees, 
eologist  c  of  Senator  Roscoe  Conkling,  in  which  he 
describe  d  the  recent  reception  of  that  gentleman  on 
ijis  xetu  -n  from  Europe,  and  at  its  conclusion  three 
cheers  'v  -ere  given  for  the  Senator.  Mr.  Cregan  then 
offered  he  f oUowiag  resolution,  which  was  unani- 
mously idopted: 

Araolw  i.  That  we  tender  out  congratulattona  to  Hon, 
Boflcoe  <  ^nkliufi;,  the  able,  upright,  and  faithful  Senator 
of  Kew-iTork,  upon  hU  return  from  hi*  brief  foreign 
t^oyace  V  ith  iitrenf^  renewed  and  vigor  recruitod,  and 
wo  Meo  conaratolate  the  RepnbUcanii  of  our  State  and 
throughout  the  Union,  that  the  great  cause  of  which  he  haa 
so  long  l^n  the  fearless  champion  and  the  gifted  leader 
will  continae  to  receive  his  active  and  efficient  support. 
I  It  wa  I  understood  when  the  meeting  assembled 
that,  sereu  members  of  the  assoclatloti,  holding 
offices  ii  it,  who  are  office-holders  under  tho  National 
(Jovemi  lent,  would  resign  in  obedience  to  President 
Haves'  dvil  service  order.  Owing,  as  it  was  ex- 
plained, to  the  absence  of  the  Secretary  of  the  asso- 
ciation, who  had  the  resignations  in  hia. 
possession,  the  reading!  of  them  and  eon-* 
sequent  action  in  regard  to  them  had 
to  be  po  itponed  to  another  meeting.  A  committee  of 
three  wi  >«  appointed  to  make  an  investigation  into 
the  cone  net  of  about  a  dozen  members,  who.  it  is  al- 
leged, lave  affiiliated,  with  the  so-called  "Anti- 
Custom- liouse  Republican  Party,"  or  "New  Republi- 
can Orgi  mization.       The  meeting  then  adjourned. 

There  are  about  500  members  on  the  roll  of  this 
association,  and  of  that  number  about  12  hold  office 
tmder  tire  National  Government.  The  total  vote  of 
the  distifict  is  about  6,800,  the  Republicans  polling 
from  2,100  to  2,500  votes.  About  six  years  ago  the 
Republlian  vote  was  1.050  to  1.250,  and  by  the 
hard  work  of  the  district  "machine,"  it  has  been 
nearly  d  >ubled.

Th,^  (falreston  (Texas)  yews  prints  a  letter 
fnmPhiadclpia,  dated  Aug.  1,  in  which  the  writer 
sa;rt 

'Thinking  that  the  views  of  Hon.  Samuel  J.  Ran- 
ds Ion  the  current  events  of  the  day — the  Pacific 
K(iilr6ad  ind  tho  Speakership — would  be  of  interest 
to  the  -Vc  cs,  I  paid  the  honorable  centleman  a  visit 
yeiiterda}  at  Ifaverford,  a  delightful  retreat  some 
elijht  niili  a  from  tho  city,  where  he  and  hut  family 
spending  the  heated  term.  After  lo.iving  the 
'--'  c  epot,  a  half  hour's  walk  through  a  narrow, 
laie  brought  me  in  sight  of  an  old-fashioned, 

,  iniug  Iwo-atory  stone  house,  standing  back  in 

th^  woota  without  a  fence  to  keep  strav  cattle 
from  |the  door.  To  the  right  of  the  house,  in 
hammocli  Kwung  between  two  trees,  lay  M: 
lislndkll.  reading ;  bv  hi.i  side  aat  his  wito  and 
three  children,  two  daught<'rs  and  one  son.  Mr. 
HHJndkllracii^fnJring  me  at  ft  distance  roiled  himself 
<!>up  of  th  !  hammock  and  met  me  before  reaching  tho 
ho^se;  with  a  hearty  shake  of  the  hand  he  Ic^  rae 
toward  tie  front  steps  and  up  on  the  front  porch.

trjl^.  j'l  vould  like  to  visit  Galveston.'  said  Mr.  Ran 
dnil.  I  '  It  appears  to  me  that  Galveston  should  be  ono 
of  I  the  mam  seaports  of  this  country.  That 
Mexican  trade  sliould  never  be  allowed  to 
go  tjo  Prance  and  Kngtand.  If  the  inlet 
to  Gjilve  ston  is  not  deop  enough  or  wide 
enough  it  is  the  Government's  concern,  and  the  Gov- 
en  jn^nt  i  hould  attend  to  it.  The-  entire  South  needs 
the  aid  ol  a  helping  hand  to  start  her  on  the  road  to 
pn^spl&rltv.  Tlie  30.000.000  acres  of  land  now  cov- 
ert by  tiie  waste  waters  from  the  Mississinpi  should 
be  reclained.  There  _  are  improvements  that  aro 
wanted — r^s^  greatly  needed  In  the  South.'  I  said:

bill  jas  it  now  stands.  I  know  Mr.  Mills,  of 
Texas,  iras  in  opposition  to  tlio  bill  last 
Winter.  Bnt  when  the  .Southern  members  all 
aurcu  I  ai  to  the  Reographlcal  line  the  road

it  is  gipne; -ally  conceded  that  some  such  route  to  the 
Pacific  is  w.inted.'  1  tUluded  to  the  recent  8trikf.s

said  Mr.  Itandall.  'Is  the  fruit  nf  the  hard  timen  and 
th^  long  (  epresslon  of  huslness  that  tho  coimtrj'  has 
experiencsQ  since  187^1.  The  cause  is  easily  arrived 
at.]but  a  ;iroper  remedy  is  not  so  readily  found.  If- 
It  lies  wit  lin  tho  power  of  Congress  to  fdleviaie  this 
snffering,  there  should  be  no  delay  in  acting.  No 
country  cm  long  withstand  Ruob'lntemal  eruptions. 
Iflntemal  improvements  vrill  help  us.  then  let  us 
have  inte  ual  improvements.  We  want  a  market  for 
our  prodtcts,  we  c^n  produce  Iron  in  Pennsylvania 
and  Ohio  St  $12  per  ton.  bnt  we  have  no  place  to 
send  it.  Wo  can  produce  cotton  and  woollen  goods 
at  jwtonlshiugly  low  prices,  bnt  the  market  Is  over- 
stocked.  Tho  tramp  is  the  only  deadwood  of  enerp- 
that  coul(  be  and  has  been  utihzed  In  better  times. 

I>SSCEyDA^TS  OF  KIDNAPPED  CHILDREN- 
The  B  )6ton  Jounud  says  :  '*  Duiing'a  recent 
visit  to  M  mtreal,  Dr.  Samuel  A  Green,  of  this  city, 
paid  a  visit  to  tho  convent,  and  there  made  some  in- 
teresting '  liscoveries  regarding  the  history  of  several 
children  vho  were  taken  by  the  In^ans  from  the 
Town  of  Groton  in  this  State.  It  is  a  matter  of  his- 
torical re(  ord  that  the  Abenaquls  tribe  made  frequent 
incursions  and  carried  away  children,  and  their  sub- 
sequent history  has  been  but  imperfectly  known, 
Sara  Tarbcll  and  her  two  brothers  were  taken  by  the 
In<3lansft|om  Groton,  but  the  date  of  their  capture 
wa  \  unknbwn.  By  inspecting  the  register  of  baptism 
at  1  he  convent,  Dr.  Green  ascertained  that  they  were 
taken  June  20.  1707.  The  two  brothers  remained 
with  the  Indians  and  married  the  daughters  of  chit>fR. 
Thoy  were  the  founoers  of  the  town  of  St.  Regis,  in 
Canada,  and,  during  his  recent  visit,  the  doctor  con- 
vex 5ed  with  the  grandson  of  one  of  the  stolen  boys. 
An  >ther  girl  by  the  name  of  Longley  was  captured 
'  in  1694,  and  was  baptized  at  the  convent  in  1696. 
The  names  of  these  lost  New- Engl anders  will  be  re- 
cognized at  once  as  ones  familiar  to  the  residents  of 
Middloaex  County.  We  trust  Dr.  Green  will  perpet- 
uate the  result  of  his  interestinc  researches  by  a  full 
acc6unt  of  what  is  known  of  these  lost  children. 
There  are,  no  doubt,  traces  to  be  obtained  of  chil- 
dren who  were  taken  from  other  towns  by  the  Abe- 
oaqnis  Tinh^." 

A  BIG  STORM. 
The  Virginia  (Kov.)  Enterprise  tells  a  big 
story  of  a  bad  storm  thus:  "Mr.  Toffiemier,  a 
sheep  man  who  has  large  flocks  in  Eastern  Kevada, 
was  m  this  city  recently,  and  gave  an  account  of  a 
sand  atom  i  in  San  Bemardina  County,  Cal.,  which 
buried  a  fiack  of  sheep.  6  000  in  number,  and  their 
three  hen]  ers,  who  were  Frenchmen,  20  feet  deep.  He 
himself  d;  ove  his  flock  oyer  the  sand  which  covered 
tho  >e  that  had  preceded  him  and  had  perished.''

Prom  the  Evemnme  (Ind.)  Journal,  Aug.  11. 

The  following  Associated  Press  telegram, 
which  arrived  early  yesterday  afternoon,  contafais 
matter  of  int|f*re«t  to  ETansville  people : 

"GAiiVZSTOH,  Aog.  10. — ^A  N9%D$  Austin  special 
says  United  States  Marshal  Pomell  was  shot  twice, 
and  probabl7  fatally  woimded,  by  Frank  L.  Britton. 
The  aceotmts  of  the  affair  are  contradictory.  It  Is 
known  that  the  two  gentlemen  belonged  to  opposing 
factions  of  the  Republican  Party,  and  have  had  some 
diflferences  as  to  the  distribution  of  Federal  patron- 
age in  this  city." 

Hon.  Frank  L.  Britton,  who  was  fortunate  enough 
to  come  out  unscathed  in  the  affray,  is  a  brother  of 
Thomas  P.  Britton,  Esq.,  of  this  cltv,  Mid  formerly 
resided  here.  He  was  in  EvsiuiTille  several  weeks 
since  with  his  wife,  en  route  to  Austin,  after  a  visit 
to  Waahington  City  upon  an  errand  which  Is  tho 
moving  cause  of  the  affray.  Mr.  Britton  moved  to 
Texas  about  10  years  ago,  and  began  the  practice  of 
law  in  that  State.  He  was  an  ardent  Rcpnblic^in 
and  soon  attained  prominence  In  State  politics. 
Upon  the  "reconstruction"  of  Texas,  E.  J.  Davis  was 
made  Federal  Governor,  and  Mr.  Britton  was  ap- 
pointed Adjutant  General  of  State.  Under  Grant  s 
first  Administration  Pumell  was  appointed  United 
States  Marshall  for  that  district.  The  appolntoient 
was  not  satisfactory  to  the  representative  Repub- 
licans of  the  State,  and  a  very  st  rong  effort 
was  made  to  have  him  removed.  For  this  purpose 
Mr.  Britton  made  several  trips  to  Washington. 
stating  his  reasons  to  the  President.  AU  efforts 
failed,  however,  as  Pumell's  wife  was  an  adopted 
daughter  of  Bishop  Ames,  who  had  a  very  strona  in- 
fluence with  the  Administration,  whether  exerted  or 
not,  Grov.  Davis  was  a  bitter  opponent  of  Pumell 
and  a  warm  ally  of  Mr.  Britton.  The  attempt  to  re- 
move Pumell  ended  in  cansing  a  long  and  bitter  feud 
between  Gov.  Davis,  Mr.  Britton,  and  several  other 
prominent  Republicans  on  the  one  side,  and  Pumell. 
his  two  sons,  and  appointees  on  the  other.  The  feud 
has  several  times  cropped'ont  in  attacks  by  the  Pur- 
nolls. 

Notwithstanding  the  failure  of  several  efforts  to 
remove  the  odious  appointee,  another  attempt  was 
made  a  year  ago.  Gov.  Davia  and  3Ir.  Britton  vis- 
ited Washington,  having  in  their  possession  affidavits 
of  a  Deputy  Marshal  under  Pumell,  to  the  effect  that 
vouchers  against  the  Government,  which  bad  passed 
through  tlie  latter's  hands,  had  been  raised  froth 
small  to  very  large  amounts.  These  affidavits  and 
very  damaging  letters  from  prominent  men  In  Texas 
aeainst  Pumell,  were  at  the  time  published  In  the 
Wfwhington  papers.  After  the  return  of  Gov,  Davis 
and  Mr.  Britton  to  Austin,  as  the  former  was  passing 
into  the  Court-house  to  try  a  ca.se,  Ptimell'ssons  met 
him  on  the  steps.  One.  raising  his  cane,  struck  Gov, 
Davis  over  the  head,  but  the  assaulted  man  clinched 
his  adversary  and  a  hard  strugcle  beKan.  The  other 
brother  drew  his  revolver  wrth  the  intention  of 
shooting  Davis,  but  did  not  use  it  for  fear  be  would 
strike  his  brother.  Before  the  affray  proved  fatal 
bystanders  interfered. 

Mr.  Britton  heard  of  this  a  few  minutes  later,  and 
was  aware  that  the  Pumells  had  planned  to  put  him 
out  of  the  way.  Accompanied  by  a  friend,  he  went 
to  visit  the  Pumells  to  demand  a  settlement  then  and 
there.  The  brothers,  valiant  to  a  ainele  adversary, 
concluded  to  be  prudent  before  an  eoual  number,  and 
retreated  into  the  Court-house  while  court  was  in 
aeasion.  Not  only  did  they  refuse  to  come  out,  but 
made  complaint  In  open  court,  and  Mr.  Britton  and 
his  friend  were  ordered  before  court  and  put  under 
bonds  to  keep  the  peace  for  a  year. 

Matters  were  quiet  until  a  few  weeks  since,  when 
Gov.  Davis.  Mr.  Britton.  and  others  visited  Washing- 
ton a^aln.  with  the  purpose  of  accomplishiuB  under 
the  Htfyes  Administration  what  they  cotila  not  do 
uuder  Gxnnt's.  This  visit  occupied  several  weeks, 
after  which  Mr.  Britton  came  to  Evansville  to  visit 
his  brother  and  sLster,  while  Gov.  Davis  went  on  to 
Galveston,  and  has  remained  there  up  to  last  accounts. 

Upon  Mr.  Britten's  arrival  at  Austin  the  foud  was 
re.iumed  with  greater  bitterness  on'the  part  of  the 
Pnmells,  who  conspired  to  kill  their  enemy.  It  haa 
cropped  out  in  bitter  attacks  in  the  newspapers,  and 
very  damaging  letters  were  published  by  Mr.  Britton 
against  the  Marshal.  What  the  Immediate  cause  of 
the  wBFray  was  is  not  known.  Mr.  TJiomas  P.  Brit- 
ton. upon  hearing  of  the  Associated  Press  tel^rram. 
imraediatcly  telegraphed  for  particulars,  and  in-

THE   TRAMPS'  COMFAXIOy. 
DISCOVERT  OP  A  CHILD    IN    MASSACHUSETTS 
WHO  HAS  BEEN    MISSING    FROM    CAMDEN 
A  YEAR. 

From  the  Pliaadelj>hia  Preti,  Aug.  13. 

Thomas  Davis,  a  blacksmith,  is  an  employe  of 
the  Narrow-gauge  Railroad  Company,  and  has  his 
homo  in  Camden,  on  Atlantic-avenue,  below  Third- 
street.  This  family  coiisi-sts  of  himself,  wife,  and 
several  children,  amonj;  them  two  f^ls,  who  are  aged 
respectively  11  and  14  years.  The  youngest  damih- 
tor,  Alice,  made  the  acquaintance  of  a  Henry  Hatstit 
and  Flora  Jones  about  the  middle  of  February, 
1876.  This  couple  lived  together  in  a  little  one- 
story  hovel  on  an  unbuilt  portion  of  South  Sixth- 
street,  known  as  Tlie  Cedars,  or  Styer's  Woods.  The 
rfrl  Alice  once  visited  the  couple,  who  attempted, 
by  the  gift  of  a  pair  of  ^Uppers,  to  de<*oy  her  from 
her  home  at  the  time  of  her  visit.  Hatstit  behaved 
in  an  indecent  manner  with  her.  She  immediately 
made  an  outcrj-.  and  the  rufflan.  becoming  frightened, 
released  her.  The  chlUL  however,  did  not  mention 
this  occurrence  to  her  parent-^  until  some  time  after. 
Through  Alice  the  counio  acquired  an  intimacy  witli 
the  Davis  family.  The  eldest  daughter.  Josephine, 
appeared  to  be  greatly  fascinated  with  thexn.  and 
was  in  the  habit  of  visiting  them  at  their  linrae. 
where  they  held  out  great  inducements  for  ncr  to 
leave  her  home.  On  the  10th  day  of  April,  1?*76, 
Josephine  mysteriously  disappeared,  but  the  man 
aud  his  pretended  wife  remained  until  nearly  two 
months  hail  elapsed,  when  they  too  took  a  hasty  de- 
parture. After  Miss  Jouephine's  disappearance  an 
unflnished  letter  written  by  her  was  found  in  tbe  front 
room,  nnder  the  table.  Itcommencod.  "DearHenr>-.  ' 
and  then  proceed  to  state  that  she  had  made  all 
arraneements.  AVhat  the  arrangements  were  Is  un- 
known, bnt  the  note  was  evidently  Intended  fot 
Hatstit.  Mr.  T>a\is  %-i8ited  Mayor  Jones,  who  is  now 
dead,  and,  stating  the  fa'-ts  of  the  case,  requested  the 
arrest  of  Hatstit.  This  the  Mayor  refn.«!ed  to  do, 
saying  that  the  fn'ounds  were  not  ample  enouch. 
Nothing  was  heard  from  the  missing  girl  until  the 
first  day  of  the  present  month,  when  a  letter  was 
received  by  Sirs.  Davis  fn.m  a  Mrs.  BUss,  of  Ware. 
JIass.,  inquiring  If  she  had  lost  a  child  by  the  name 
of  '■  Josie;"  that  If  so,  she  was  then  an  inmate  of 
her  house,  a  fuirltive  from  tramp.<i.  who  claimed  to  bo 
her  parents.  Another  letter  was  received,  and  on 
la.'it  Friday  Po.«tmaster  Lee  received  the  following, 
which  is  self  oxplauatory : 

WABE,  Mass.,  Aug.  4,  1S77. 
Poxtniaster  : 

Dear  Sir:  I  wish  to  ask  a  favor  of  you.  I  want 
to  know,  for  sure.  If  there  is  a  family*  on  Atlantic- 
avenue,  lielow  Third-street,  by  the  name  of  Thomas 
Da\'is.  I  have  written  to  know,  and  there  were  two 
letters  came  here.  One  was  saying  that  Mrs.  Davis 
was  dead,  and  the  other  was  signed  oy  her.  and  as  I 
am  very  jealotis  in  regard  to  certain  parties,  I  wish 
to  know  the  truth  in  regard  to  knowing  whether  she 
is  dead  or  not,  as  I  have  her  oldest  daughther  with 
me.  She  was  decoyed  away  from  her  home  oyer  a 
year  ago  by  a  man  and  woman.  His  name  la 
Henry  Hatstit.  and  the  woman  is  not  bis  wfe. 
and  they  have  kept  her  to  beg  for  them.  They 
came  here  on  the  17th  of  lost  month,  and  were 
tramping  at  the  time.  They  were  here  two  days, 
and  when  they  left  on  Friday,  July  20.  the  girl  ran 
away  from  them,  and  we  took  the  trouble  to  hunt  her 
up.  "as  she  Is '  smart,  and  I  have  her  with  me :  and  I 
don't  intend  they  shall  Ret  her  again,  and  I  think  the 
last  letter  that  was  sent  here  is  a  decoy  letter,  to  get 
her  t<i  come  on  to  see  her  mother,  and  then  get  her 
again.  Now  I  want  you  to  give  the  letter  inclosed  in 
this  for  Mrs.  Davis  to  the  letter  carrier,  and  for  him 
to  give  it  to  none  but  Airs.  Davis,  and  if  she  is  dead 
I  want  my  letter  sent  back  to  rae,  and  we  will  take 
care  of  the  girl ;  and  hoping  you  wlU^rant  my  re- 
quest, I  remaui    Yotirs  truly,     Mrs-  C.  P.  BLISS. 

Tho  letter  inclosed  with  this  stated  the  same  facts 
as  pTe\'ioiwly.  besides  elviugexplicit  and  minute  di- 
rections as  to  the  route  in  order  to  reach  Ware,  and 
telling  her  to  use  the  precaution  to  wear  a  piece  of 
colored  paper  on  her  bosom,  by  which  means  Mrs. 
Bliss  would  be  satisfied  of  her  identity  and  restore  to 
her  her  lon^-lost  daughter.  Mrs.  Davis  started  for 
Ware,  taking  the  Saturday  morning  train,  and  upon 
her  arrival  iinll  telegraph  the  tmth  to  her  husband. 

A  JJ7DGK8  SUIT  FOR  SALARY. 
The  New-Orleans  Tinus  of  the  10th  Inst. 
says:  "The  suit  which  Judge  Collens  has  brought 
for  his  salary  will,  when  tiltimately  decided,  settle  a 
question  of  much  importance  in  this  State.  Jiulge 
Collens  was  elected  in  1872  Judge  of  the  Seventh 
District  Court  of  this  city.  In  January  following  the 
Plnchbaek  Legislature  abolished  that  court,  or,  which 
is  the  same  thing,  consolidated  It  with  a  new  one, 
^^'iI^  all  its  business  and  jurisdiction  to  the  latter. 
The  object  was  to  oust  Judge  Collens  for  political 
reasons.  In  many  other  States  the  same  thing  hat 
been  attempted  by  Legislatures  for  the  purpose  of 

getting  rid  of  obnoxious  .ludqes.  Jurisdiction  has 
een  taken  away,  the  boundaries  of  the  district 
changed,  new  districts  made  to  overlap  the  old,  and 
iho  office  abolished  outri;;ht.  But  the  courts  Imve 
uniformly  held  that  the  Legislature  bad  no  power 
to  do  indirectly  what  it  could  not  do  directly.  It  can- 
not deprive  a  Jtidge  of  the  emoluments  of  the  term  for 
which  no  had  been  elected,  though  it  may  create  new 
districts  and  alter  old  ones.  It  cannot  oust  a  Judge 
except  by  impeachment,  and  all  subteifuges  to  ac- 
complish the  same  end  are  pronounced  inoperative 
and  void.  We  have  no  reason  to  doubt  that  the 
eotirt  will  hold  that  Judge  Collens  had  a  vested  right 
in  tbe  term  for  which  he  was  elected,  and  U  entitled 
to  the  salarr  allowed  by  law  at  the  time  of  his  elec- 
tion. The  fate  of  his  petition  In  its  present  form, 
however,  it  Is  not  so  easy  to  predict.  He  asks  for  a 
mandamus  against  ti&e  Auditor  to  compel  him  to  pay 
tbe  pact  due  saiarr*    Aa  there  is  bo  K>eelfle  annro> 


jrlattoa  for  that  purpose,  and  probabljiiot  enough 
monejr  to  pay  the  salaries  appropriated  for,  itis  not 
•o  easT*  to  see  how  the  Auditor  ean  obey  suehawrit, 
bnt  tlutt  the  daim  will  be  pronounced  valid  aod  ultl- 
zoateljr  paid  there  is  little  rtiom  to  doubt."

From  the  SL  Joieph  (Mo.)   Herald,  Avf.  11. 

Bx-Llmxt.  Gov.  George  Smith,  who  is  enjoy- 
ing a  hi^py  and  contented  old  age  at  his  splendid  rea- 
idence  near  Cameron,  gave  au  entertainment  to  a 
number  of  old  citizens  on  Wednesday  last.  Theaf- 
tmii  is  r^Kuted  to  have  been  a  very  h^ipy  and  enjoy- 
able one.  A  bountifal  repast  was  spread,  and  the  old 
people  entert^ned  one  another  with  stories  of  their 
frontier  life.  The  old  gentlemen  present  were:  Ia- 
msa  Kellogg,  who  was  89  yeaxs  of  age  on  tbe  8th

resided  10  years,  and  he  resided  in  seTeral  other 
States  before  he  came  to  Cameron,  which  was  about 
four  years  ago.  He  was  married  at  the  age  of  22, 
seven  children  being  bom  into  the  family  before  the

then  to  Indiana,  where  he  lived  i25  years,  and  then  to 
MiTineanta,  where  he  remained  until  he  came  to  Cam- 
eron, about  two  months  since.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  from  boyhood  up 
40  years  ago,  when  he  withdrew,  thinking  It  the  ' 
because  It  was  then  that  fashion  began  to  take  the 
dominant  part  In  his  country.  He  has  been  a  Mason 
67  years,  and  has  some  vexy  conscientious  scruples

fatoer  of  six  children  at  three  births.  He  was  a 
turner  by  trade,  having  made  many  wagon-wheels,

age.  For  many  years  he  followed,^very  successfully, 
the  milling  business  in  different  parts  of  New- York. 
His  age  does  not  tell  upon  him  as  it  does  upon  some, 
but  the  "  foot-prints  of  time  "  are  very  perceptible. 
He  la  as  ambitious  as  he  was  years  aeo,  and  delishts 
In  enjoyment  as  well  as  anyone.  He  came  to  Mis-

TB^  PEXySYLVAXIA  COAL   TRADE. 

CONTINUED    GOOD    OUTLOOK — EXPORTS    FOR 

THE  WEEK. 

From  the  Philadelphia  Ledger.  Aug.  13. 

The  anthracite  coal  trade  still  wears  a  more 
encouraging  aspect  than  was  hoped  for  a  month  ago. 
The  business  is  active  and  prices  hold  up  well  en- 
couraging the  belief  that  the  market  will  continue  to 
the  end  of  the  season  more  in  the  control  of  pro- 
ducers than  it  vras  during  all  the  forepart  of  the 
year.  The  Reading  Railroad  Company  and  the  Read- 
ing Coal  and  Iron  Comtmny  are  persistent  in  their 
policy,  adopted  at  the  time  tfie  combination  was 
broken,  and  the  proporition  Of  Mr.  Gowen  to  pool 
the  coal  product  was  declined  by  the  other  producing 
and  carrying  companies,  namely,  to  throw  as  much 
coal  from  the  Schuylkill  region  into  tho  market  as 
was  practical  from  its  unequalled  facilities  for  the 
movement  of  that  creat  staple.  The  temporary 
obstmction  of  a  wrtnlght  ago  in  that  region 
has  passed,  and,  with  a  good  vmderstanding 
between  the  companies  and  their  emjiloyes.  the  out- 
look it  quite  Fatisfactorj'.  There  will  be  no  short 
supply  of  coal,  nor  Is  it  probable  that  prices  will  fall 
below  a  fair  remuneration.  Tonnage  is  the  creal 
purpose  of  the  Reading  Railroad  Company,  and  is  a 
wonderful  source  of  revenue.  For  the  week  ending 
on  Saturday  night  last,  which  is  a  week  later  than 
our  tabulated  report  of  the  trade,  the  business  of 
the  road  footed  155.000  tons,  against  113,699  tons 
cjirried  in  the  corresponding  week  last  yenr.  Of 
this-  amount  there'  were  sent  to  Port  Richmond 
t>'.,i.600  tons,  and  within  tbe  same  week  there 
were  shipped  from  Port  Richmond  72,0O0 
tons,  a  reduction  of  the  stock  there  of  9,400 
tons.  There  has  been  at  no  time  during  the 
troubles  of  ■  tbe  past  three  weeks  more 
than  5  of  the  53  collieries  operated  by  the 
Philadelphia  and  Reading  Coal  and  Iron  Company 
not  at  work  on  account  of  tbe  labor  difficulties,  and 
within  the  past  week  these  have  ail  Tleen  started  and 
are  now  working  full  handed,  the  output  by  the  Coal 
and  Iron  Cnimpany  for  the  week  ending 
on  Satunlay  lost  reat'hlng  84.500  tons.  The 
collieries  of  the  Individual  operators  in  the 
SchuylkiU  region  have  generally  resumed  work. 
though  it  is  aueced  that  committees  professing  to 
represent  parties  in  some  of  the  more  northern  coal 
regions  have  been  industriously  endeavoring  to  create 
a  strike  bv  the  SchuylkiH  miners,  nnd  all  the  indica- 
tions are  favorable  to  a  continuous  large  output  for 
the  remainder  of  tlie  yeir  In  that  coal  region.  Busi- 
ness  has  not  so  thoroughly  resumed  in  the  other  coal 
region.  All  the  Lehigh  and  all  the  Mahanoy  mines 
having  transportation  over  the  Lehigh  Valley  Rail- 
road are  at  full  work,  but  none  of  those  in  the 
Wyoming  region  are  In  operation.  Tli«  coal  of  the 
company  on  iiand  at  Amboy  on  the  4th  inst.  vras 
abont  96,750  tons^frather  more  than  was  last  week 
estimated.)  and  dunug  the  week  following  the  re- 
ceipts at  that  point  were  about  20.O0O  tons,  and  the 
shipments  some  30.000  tons.  It  is  thus  seen-that 
the  stock  of  coal  ot  that  point  is  steadily  running 
down. 

For  the  weok  ending  on  the  4tb  Inst.,  the  total 
tonnage,  as  reported  by  the  several  carr>*ing  com- 
panies, amounted  to  232.491  tons,  against  380.04>* 
tons  in  corresponding  week  last  yeor,  a  decrease  of 
147,557  tons.  The  total  amount  of  anthracite 
mined  for  tho  year  Is  11,712.890  tons,  against  9.- 
378,038  for  same  period  last  year,  an  increase  of 
2.334.852  tons.  The  quantity  of  bituminous  coal 
sent  to  market  for  the  week  amounted  to  39.  .'>20 
tons,  against  80.869  tons  in  corresponding  week  last 
year,  a  decrease  of-  41.349  tons.  The  total  tonnage 
of  ah  kinds  of  coal  for  the  week  is  272.011  tons, 
against  460,917  tons  in  corresponding  week  last 
year,  a  decrease  of  l.SS,006  tons.  The  total  tonnage 
of  all  kinds  of  coal  for  the  coal  year  is  13,520.613 
tons,  against  11.371.523  to  same  date  last  year,  an 
increase  of  2.149.090  tons.  Vessels  are  becoming 
scarce,  whilst  orders  are  plenty  at  this  port,  and  load- 
ing at  Port  Richmond,  Delaware  City,  and  elsewhere 
is  active. 

CAPT.  NOLAX. 
A  communication  to  the  St.  Joseph  (Mo.) 
Herald  contains  th?  following  reminiscence  of  Capt. 
Xolan.  whose  painful  experiences  with  his  men  on 
the  Staked  Plains  were  lately  mentioned  in  our  tele- 
grams from  San  Antonio  :  "On  Monday,  Jtme  17. 
1861,  a  trim  and  orderly  squad  of  United  States 
Dragoons  marched  from  Its  quarters  in  this  city, 
near  the  Patee^  House,  to  the  Post  Office  building, 
on  Second-street,  opposite  the  Herald  office.  Mr. 
Woolworth  stepped  to  the  door  and  handed  the  Ser- 
geant in  command  a  neat  fiag,  which  one  of  the  dra- 
goons unfurled  on  the  roof  of  the  building,  securely 
fastening  its  staff  where  a  foolish  mob  had  a  few 
days  Tirevlocs  torn  down  'a  similar  emblem.  After 
the  soldier  descended  the  little  company  of  dragoons 
formed  in  line  and  gave  three  rou-slng  cheers 
'  for  the  old  fiag,  aud  ^uith  to  the  man  who  takes 
It  down.'  Immediately  a  certain  doctor  of  this  city 
mounted  a  dry-goods  box  on  the  sidewalk,  and  called 
out,  '  Three  groans  for  the  Abolitionists  and  thoirflag.' 
He  gave  two  lusty  groans,  but  was  instantly  covered 
with  a  Colt's  navy  revolver  in  the  hands  of  the  Ser- 
geant, who  yelled  out,  '  Give  that  other  groan  :  it 
will  be  yotir  l(Urt>'  The  doctor  jumped  off  the  box 
and  ran  into  the  store  like  a  quarter-horse.  That 
Sergeant  is  the  identical  Nolan  who  is  mentioned  in 
the  dispatch.  He  was  here  16  years  ago  last  June  as 
a  Sergeant  m  Captain  Frank  Armstrong's  company  of 
'Grav-horse  Cavalry.'  Second  Dragoons,  now  Second 
Cavidry.  Capt  Amistrong  and  bis  company  fought

roster  the  names  of  Gen.  E.  V.  Sumner,  and  scores  of 
others  who  became  famous  In  our  hi-story.  The  then

Mr  Deab  Fathks  :  Invalided  at  last;  here'l  am,  af- 
ter a  16  years'  service  in  the  army  without  receiving 
a  scratch,  laid  up  with  a  gun-shot  wrmnd  through  the 
left  lung,  reecived  on  the  llth  inst.  at  a  place  now 
known  aa  "  Camp  Bancroft,"  on  South  Fork  of  the 
Clearwater,  about  2.5  miles  from  Mount  Idaho.  Idaho 
Territory,  in  an  engagement  with  Jowph  and 
his  band  of  Indians.  I  was  shot,  about 
S  o'clock  In  the  afternoon ;  laid  da  the 
field/  all  that  day  and  nii;ht  and  part  of  the 
ncx^  day,  when  I  was  hauled  in  a  wagon  25  miles 
oWr  1he  ronphest  mountain  trail  to  Grangerville. 
flfhts  was  a  verj-  severe  trip.  The  wagon  had  no 
sprincs,  and  I  was  nearly  dead  when  we  nvu-hed  Gran- 
gerriHe.  Two  wounded  mi'n  die<i  in  the  wagon  on  thia 
trip ;  two  of  my  l>e8t  men,  Sergt-  Workman  and 
Corporal  Martmarandt,  were  killed  by  my  side. 
M"hile  I  was  being  carried  to  the  rear  by  one  of  my 
men,  Patrick  by  name,  he  had  one  ear  shot  clean  ^ 
awav,  and  I  did  not  know  it  till  aAer  he  had  laid  \ 
me  down.  Corporal  Hess  was  badly  wounded,  his  \ 
left  arm  being  broken.  My  company  suffered  a  good 
deal  in  tlils  fight :  the  Indians  fought  hke  devilc^  and 
were  brave  as  lions.  The  Indian  who,  shot  me  vraa 
not  lOO  vardsaway  at  tbe  time;  I  think  he  was 
killed.  It  is  now  12  days  since  1  wasfwounded,  and 
the  doctor  thinks  I  am  out  of  dam:er.{  I  shall  leave 
this  place  for  Fort  Townsend  on  Thursday  next.  I 
left  Wrangel  fon  the  15th  of  June,  and  arrived  al 
Townsend  on  the  18th.  Received  orders  same  day,  ^ 
and  left  on  the  19th  for  this  Indian  country,  and,  for 
a  short  campaign,  have  had  more  agony  crowded  inta 
it  than  I  experienced  during  "Ule  whole  war  of  ths

BREAKING  OF  A  BED  BTTER  DAIC 
The  New-Orieans  Picayune^  of  the  10th  bist, 
says:  "Abont  the  first  of  the  present  month  Intel- 
ligence was  received  in  this  city  of  the  breaking  of 
the  dam  in  the  upper  branch  of  the  Scopini  eot-off, 
which  connects  Red  Blver.  some  dirtanee  below 
Khreveport,  with  Tone's  Bavou,  a  tributarj-  of  Bayou 
Pierre.  The  dam  was  constructed  alxjnt  a  year  ago 
by  the  fnited  StatfS  Government  out  of  the  Harbor 
and  River  appropriation,  and  cost  SIO. 000.  There 
is  a  dam  in  the  other  bram-h  of  the  cut-off  built  by 
the  State.  The  object  of  damming  up  this  outlet  la 
to  confine  the  waters  of  Red  River  to  the  proper 
channel  and  prevent  the  decrease  in  depth  wmeh 
would  otherwise  result.  On  Aug.  1,  Mr.  Joseph 
Aiken,  President  of  the  Kew-Orlewis  and  B«d 
River  Transportation  Company,  received  a 
dispatch  to  the  effect  that  fae  side  of 
Bank  Island  had  washed  away  for  ,  a  distance  of  20 
feet.  Yesterday  he  receiv^i  a  telepram  which  stated 
that  the  dam  was  nearly  gone,  careful  soundings  bav- 
ing  been  made.  He  communicated  tbe  fact  to  the 
Governor,  and  yesterday  a  consultatibn  waa  held 
with  the  State  Board  of  Enffineers.  Mr.  Aiken. 
showed  the  importance  of  repairins  the  dam  as  soon 
as  possible.  He  had  made  arrangements  to  bring  to 
Xew-Orleans  at  least  two-thirds  of  the  Texas  cotton, 
or  an  averaee  in  the  Fall  of  60.000  bales  per  mouth, 
If  the  navigation  of  Red  River  were  interrupted,  be 
thought  that  this  trade  would  f^o  to  t>t.  IjouIs  and 
other  places.  It  seems  that  if  the  Outlet  is  left 
open  the  water  of  Red  River  will  fall  rerr  rapid- 
ly, and  the  stream  become  too  shallow  for  navi- 
gation. The  Governor  inquired  what  was  n&. 
cessary  to  be  dune.  Hsd  what  roold  be  done  ?  The 
engineers  tlioncht  that'the  dam  could  be  repaired  for 
less  than  $10.0oO.  The  Ciovernnr  said  to  Mr.  Aiken 
that  if  he  would  prepare  a  dispatch  to  the  Secretary 
of  War.  settine  ft>rtli  the  facts  and  necessity  for  the 
general  Government  to  cause  the  dnm  to  be  repaired, 
he  would  approve  the  telegram  and  forward  it  to 
Washington.  The  .Secretory  of  War  has  already 
l>een  adN-ised  of  the  affair  by  citizens  of  ShreToport. 
On  the  suggestion  of  Major  Harrod,  the  Executiv* 
directed  that  he.  tojretbcr  witn  Major  Richardson, 
should  proci*ed  .at  the  first  ojiportunity  to  the  point 
of  danger  and  report  what  in  their  judsrments  shoidd 
be  dime.  Col.  Hardee,  this  momims.  sets  Kail  in  the

A  PAINFUL  OPERATION.  . 
The  Boston  Globe  of  Monday  says :  "  A  very 
remarkable  medical  ease  has  come  to  our  knowledge, 
and  we  have  seen  no  account  of  it  thus  far  In  the 
journals  of  the  profession.  A  lady  livinc  in  AJiston 
vras  troubled  with  some  affection  of  the  throat.  Th« 
doctors  pronounced  it. bronchial,  and  recommended  a 
trip  to  the  South.  She  obtained  no  relief  from  the 
climate,  and  on  her  way  hack  consulted  an  eminent 
pu}'sician  in  Baltimore,  who  said  that  a  tumor  had 
formed  inside  tho  windpij^e.  On  reaching  home  sha 
communicated  this  opinion  to  her  physician  here, 
and  after  consultation  the  doctort*  decidVd  such  to  be 
the  fact.  The  lady  placed  herself  in  the  charge  of 
some  of  thebest  medical  talent  in  tbSs  city  for  the 
treatment  of  her  case,  which  was  becommg  very 
serious.  It  was  with  great  difficulty  that  she 
could  swallow  anything,  and  her  breaJLhing  was  be- 
coming more  and  more  obstructed.  It  was  diMsided 
that  the  tumor  must  be  removed,  though  sncli  an  op- 
.eration  as  taking  a  tumor  from  the  insido  of  a  wmd- 
pipe  was  unknown,  and  an  instrument' must  be  in- 
vented for  the  purpose.  A  tube  wasjput  into  the 
■windpii>e  below  the  diseased  spot,  anil  the  throat 
subjected  to  a  course  of  *  education '  for  the  opera- 
tion. An  instrument  was  devised  bavim:  ot  the  end 
a  combination  of  claws,  which  could  be:  worked  from 
the  other  end,  so  as  to  rlose  firmly  over  tho  tumor, 
and  an  arranecmcnt  was  made  for  jtast^Tia;  a  current 
of  electricity  through  tho  instrument.  In  due  time 
the  operation  was  successfully  performed  by  gwitly 
j.rcssmg  the  Instrument  down  into  the  windpipe. 
firmly  (tni.<T>inic  the  tumor  in  the  claws,  and  burning 
it  out  by  tbe  electric  current.  It  was  drawn  out,  ana 
the  lady,  who  underwent  the  ordeal  without  the  use 
of  any  anspsthetic,  was  doing  well  at  last  accounts.* 


THE  GEORGIA  TREASURER'S  DILEMMA. 

The  Atalanta  (Ga.)  r<?n*fifitfM«  of  the  llth 
inst.  says :  "  A  very  intricate  question  has  been  raised 
at  tbe  State  Treasury  in  respect  to  the  payment  of 
the  expenses  of  the  convention.  In  the  act  provide 
ing  for  the  calling  of  the  convention,  the  Le^la- 
ture  restricted  the  cost  of  the  convention  to  S>25,000, 
and  appropriated  that  sum  with  which  to  meet  its  ex- 
pcnses.  That  sum  has  already  been  more  than  ex- 
hatisted.  and  the  Treasurer,  in  the  exercise  of  that 
caution  due  the*  State  and  his  bondsmen,  has  decided 
not  to  over-pay  th**  amount  appropriated  unto  be  is 
bai^ked  by  competent  legal  and  official  authority. 
Tlie  point  that  caused  him  to  hesitate  is  this;  Snt>- 
pose  he  pays  out  $25.00*>  more  than  was  Buthorixed 
by  the  Legislature,  and  the  Con-stitutinn  is  re- 
jected by  tho  people.  In  that  event  the  only 
Constitution  under  which  he  can  justify 
his  action  vrill  be  tbe  present  one-  That  in- 
strument distlnctl}'  says  that  he  shall  pay  no  money 
except  such  as  has  ^reen  appropriated  by  the  lower 
Housp  of  Representatives.  Where,  then,  will  he 
find  authority  for  tho  payment  of  the  extra  SS.'j.OOO  f 
It  is  held  bv  some  lawyers  that  the  convention  is  sov- 
ereign in  all  things :  that  It  can  not  only  draw  what 
money  it  needs,  but  can  abolish  the  treasur.-  if  it  de- 
sires, and  even  refuse  to  submit  the  Constitution  to 
the  people  for  ratification.  The  Treasurer  himself  is 
of  opinion  that  be  would  bp  justified,  in  paying  tho 
money  ;  but  with  a  caution  that  is  comm<.M]dabi«,  be 
has  thought  it  best  to  be  fortifipil  by  abundant  legal 
advice.  He  has  consequently  referred  the  matter  to 
the  Governor,  and  asked  through  him  for  tbe  ofBleial 
opinion  of  the  Attorney-General." 

THE  BOSTOX  WOMA  X  IX  THE  STREET-CAB. 
The  Boston  Saturday  Evening  Gazette  says: 
"The  open  hors^-cars  are  a  great  comfort  during  the»e 
warm  davF,  and  they  are  nearly  always  fulL  Not  the 
least  of  their  advantages  is  that  there  is  no  room  for 
people  to  stand  up  in  them,  and  thns  render  misera- 
ble the  experiences  of  those  who  are  seated,  by  crowd- 
ing upon  their  toes.  The  familiar  cry  of  the  conduc- 
tor, '  Move  up  in  front  there.'  is  not  heard,  and  wrt 
umbrellas  are  not  brought  into  contact  with  one's 
knees  or  bands,  as  the  case  mav  be.  when  It  chances 
to  bersinlnc.  And  then,  those  three  ^ck  seats  which 
ar©  reserved  for  smokers  ;  Tjow  they  axe  appreciated, 
especially  of  a  morning,  when  a  cigar  is  almost  iudu- 
pensable  to  the  conu&tent  smoker.  But,  notwith- 
standing that  these  seats  are  set  apart  for  smokers, 
the  ladiea,  bless  thera  !  will  occnpy  them  whenever 
tho  fancj'  so  takes  them.  And  when  thev  are  seated 
in  the  cmoke-aaAred  locality,  how  they  do  iclare  and 
scowl  at  those  ol>dnrate  men  who,  indifferent  to  tha 
claims  of  beauty,  continue  to  puff  away !  And  9 
men  out  of  10  remain  unmoved  under  such  elrcum- 
standee.  It  is  vorv  embarrassing  for  the  woman,  but 
she  invariablv  makes  it  a  rule  to  remain  fixM.  andtc^ 
testify  her  displeasure  by  looks  and  mattcxlngf  in-

JUDAH  T0JTR08  ORATITUDB. 
The  New-Orleans  Democrat  saya :  *' Jndah 
Touro,  a  wealthy  Iiraelite  of  this  city,  made  a  hand-

Mr.  Tonro  and  his  friend  were  under  fire  at  the  hat<

Gnmarvo,  Weduesda;-,  July  18—10  P.  M. 
~  As  I  had  anticipated,  the  Bussian  losses 
kava  been  very-  heavy.  What  they  -were  pre- 
flooaly  the  world  wOl  never  know,  aa  most  of 
he  dead  were  buried  where  they  fell,  before  any 
niaiders  were  permitted  to  yisit  the  scene  of 
leiaon.  The oflcial  "butcher's biU"  gives  be- 
ween  1,200  and  1,300  as  a  grand  total,  inelud- 
ng  three  Colonels  and  62  officers  ef  other 
imk.  Bat  this  enormous  proportion  of  ofOcers, 
he  numbers  ofVounded  whom  we  can  see,  the 
Jset  that  the  Tnrlcs,  who,  fightlnx  from  cover, 
niut  have  suffered  far  less  than  &eir  aasailsats, 
md  yet  acknowled^re  2,000  casualties,  and  the 
general  circumstances  of  the  battle,  warrant  the 
juppoaition  that  the  published  estimate  is  very 
Sh  below  the  marie  An  act  of  splendid  daring 
Inally  decided  the  affair.  Two  forlorn  hopes 
kad  been  repulsed  ;  the  third  column  wavered 
^ld  was  in  a  critical  situation,  when  a  battery 
if  horse  artillery — I  wish  that  I  could 
(rre  the  same  of  the  gallant  fellow  who 
lommanded  it — dashed  forward,  scrambled 
Icross  the  ditch  and  over  the  breach,  and,  taking 
ip  a  position  in  rear  of  a  redan  filled  with 
Furks,  who  were  flanking  the  approaches  to  the 
lentral  bastion,  on  which  tba  main  attack  was 
brected,  opened  fire  through  the  open  gorge  of 
ihe  work.  All  of  the  horses  and  three-fourths 
it  the  gunners  were  shot  down,  but  the  ma- 
tOBuvre  was  successful ;  the  garrison  was 
leized  with  a  panic  at.  the  appearance  of  an 
memy  in  their  rear,  and  retired  in  disorder 
vtthin  the  tftctinU.  After  this  the  place  wi 
longer  tenable,  and  although  a  desulto^  can- 
tonadewas  kept  up  on  both  sidps^or  some 
kours  longer  the  reaistance  wu/Wtaally  at  an 
ind.  The  wounded  of  botb-<armie3  are  being 
transported  to  the  hospitfds  on  the  left  bank — 
those  who  can  stand  the  journey  into  Bussia,  in 
irder  to  reUeve  the  establishmentsinBoumania, 
snd  to  spare  the  poor  fellows  the  additional  suf- 
Tering  caused  by  the  terrible  heat. 

Between  Tumu-Maenrelll  and  Alexandria  I 
passed  several  convoys  of  prisoners  on  their  way 
to  the  main  depot  at  Kischeneff,  whence  they 
(Pill  be  distributed  in  the  interior  in  accordance 
(rith  the  dispositions  which  I  have  narrated  in  a 
previous  letter.  The  columns  were  escorted  by 
%  few  companies  of  infantry  and  several 
Botnias  of  Cossacks ;  the  men  'vere  on  foot,  the 
'  field  officers  and  some  of  the  subalterns  and 
Captains  in  carts.  Hassan  Pasha  and  Achmet 
Pasha,  to  whom  every  courtesy  has  been  shown, 
went  on,  immediately  after  tlieir  surrender,  in 

firivate  carriages-  The  prisoners  have  that  sul- 
en,  glum  look  common  to  their  race,  but 
whether  tbey  are  reallv  sorry  for  their  fate  is 
doubtful.  The  Oriental  generally  takes  things  as 
they  come  with  remarkable  philosophy,  ascrib- 
ing them  all  to  Kismet  aii^^the  will  of  Allah, 
which  is  a  sufficient  excuse  for  all  failures,  and 
certainly,  to  judge  from  their  gaunt,  hungry 
look  and  ragged  uniforms,  they  could  not  have 
left  much  to  regret  in  their  last  quarters  in  the 
way  of  creature  comforts. 

The  occupation  of  Nikopolis  is  more  impor- 
tant even  than  it  was  first  thought  to  be.  It  has 
not  only  assured  the  Russian  btise  of  operations, 
but  has  procured  all  the  strategical  advantages  in- 
cident upon  the  occupatton  of  the  Valley  of  the 
Tehundja,  from  Kasianlik  to  Jamboii,  and  se- 
cures the  communicarions  of  Gezi.  Gourkho's 
column  of  4.O0O  cavalry,  composed  of  the  As- 
trakan  and  Kagan  Dragoons,  some  horse  ar- 
tiHtr\-,  and  a  regiment  of  Cos!<acks,  which 
forced  the  Balkans  at  two  points,  and  now 
holds  Jamboii.  on  the  Adrianople  road,  in  rear 
of  Shnmla.  The  Turkish  tactics  continue  to 
be  ineomprehensible.  They  hold  out  -with  the 
utmost  courage  a  wretched  little  fortress  like 
^tikopolis.  incapable  of  a  loni^  defense,  and 
from  which  rutreat  is  impossible  when  once 
invested  seriously,  and  yet  they  abandon  really 
ImportAUt  positions  without  firing  a  shot  when- 
ever there  is  a  door  open  in  their  rear.  That 
Ahmed  Eyoub's  troops  should  have  evacuated 
Biela  as  soon  as  his  line  of  retreat  was  compro- 
mised by  the  Kussian  passage  of  the  Jantra  is 
?<iite  jostiflable.  but  the  Kazan  defile  is  nearly 
8  Engish  miles  in  length,  and  both  this  pass 
and  that  of  the  *'  Iron  Gate  "  were  admirably 
fortified  and  garrisoned  with  regular  infantry, 
which  retired  as_  soon  aa  the  raiders — they 
were  nothing  else^-came  in  sight.  There  wm 
a  alight  stand  jnade  by  the  Usmanli  under 
Eaouf  Pasha  at  Yeui-Saghra,  but  as  the  Russian 
losses  are  put  down  at  only  SO  men  it  is  scarce-. 
Jy  worth  speaking  about. 

Against  any  other  enemy  the  Russian  tactics 
seem  very  faidtv.  Their  -Army  is  spreading  out 
like  the  sticks  of  a  fan.  and  if  Al>dal  Kerim 
has  either  talent  or  initiative  ho  can  crush 
their  columns  in  detail.  X  have  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  at  present  their  operations  are  along 
four  lines  ;  a  corps  of  tK>.00O  established  alongv 
the  right  bank  of  the*  Jantra,  between  Obiienitz 
and  Batin  ;  30,000  on  the  plateau  of  Carincha 
in  observation  against  Rustahuk  ;  50,000  be- 
tween Timova  and  Plevna;  35,000  at  Sis- 
tova.  Twenty-five  thousand  of  these  cap- 
tured Nikopolis  on  Monday,  .and  have  de- 
tached a  force  westward  in  the  direction 
of  Widdin.  Probably  the  second  Rou- 
manian Army  Corps  at  Kalafat  and  Caracal, 
under  Prince  Carol,  will  take  part  in  this  opera- 
tion. Prom  these  figures  must  of  course  be  de- 
ducted the  losses  sustained  in  the  various  en- 
gagements fought  during  the  last  week;  which 
may  be  put  down  at  about  10  per 
cent.  Another  corps  is  being  humed 
forward,  through  Roumania,  to  strengthen 
their  left  wing,  and  aa,  at  last,  the  Turks  have 
evacuated  all  the  Dobrudacha  north  of  the  Kus- 
tendje-Tchemayoda  line,  Oen.  Zimmerman  can 
advance  against  Silistria,  which  he  is  to  invest, 
and  bring  up  the  total  strength  of  the  army  of 
operation  tu  some  200,000  combattanta  of  all 
arms.  Still,  not  half,  of  that  number  can  be 
concentrated  within  24  hours'  time  at  any  one 
point,  and  a  few  days  will  show  whether  the 
Serdal  ek  Ekmm  has  the  intention  of  bringing 
on  a  general  engagement  near  Shumla,  where 
all  the  advantages  of  position  and  numbers  will 
be  in  his  favor.  Perhaps  X  ought  to  say  if  he 
knows  how  to  bring  on  that  eniragement,  as  the 
gibbering  idiot  ia  probably  engaged  in  some 
algebraical  calculation,  or  is  awaiting  the  orders 
of  the  3Ied  jliss,  based  upon  the  scientific  reason- 
ings of  that  council  of  old  women  and  the 
lomiuous  advice  of  a  conclave  of  court  astrolo- 
gers. One  thing  only  is  certain  ;  if  the  onward 
march  of  the  invaders  be  not  arrested  within  a 
week,  in  spite  of  their  bad  atrategy,  their 
columns  wHl  be  in  Adrianople  before  Stdeiman 
Pasha's  40  battalions  ordered  up  from 
.  Montenegro  can  come  to  its  relief.  Wo  are 
told  that  Rustehuk  is  completely  invested; 
this  X  do  not  think  the  caae.  although  the  com- 
*munication3  may  be  cut  off  on  thi«e  sides,  for 
It  Is  scarcely  credible  that  the  Czarowitch,  who 
commands  here  in  person,  with  all  his  inexpe- 
rience would  sanction  a  movement  so  utterly 
at  variance  with  the  elementary  principles  of 
the  art  of  war.  He  has  only  75,0(H)  men.  The 
centre  is  at  Cosova ;  the  left  at  Pyrgoa,  on  the 
l>anube ;  the  right  at  Nisova,  exposed  to  a  flank 
attack,  aa  "tt  lies  nearly  at  right  angles  to  the 
Turkish  forces  in  the  quadrilateral,  where,  with 
both  the  wings  and  the  centre  resting  on  the 
fortresses  of  Shumla  and  Rustehuk,  and  the 
strong  natural  position  of  Osman-Baaar,  it  num- 
bers conaideianly  over  100,000.  However, 
rashness  has  succeeded  so  far,  and  it  may  do  ao 
again,  for  the  Turks,  like  the  French  in  their 
last  war,  never  seem  to  perceive  or  toproflt  by 
the  blunders  of  their  adversaries.  The  bom- 
bardment of  Rustehuk  will  commence  in  a 
day  or  two  ;  the  regular  oiege  of  the  fortress 
about  the  1st  of  August,  if  it  has  not  fallen 
before  that  time. 

1  have  iust  arrived  at  Qinrgevo,  after  a  14 
hotrrs'  drive  over  roads  laiee  deep  in  dust,  and 
with  the  thermometer  marking  36°  centigrade, 
a  little  over  96^  Fahrenheit,  in  the  shade.  It 
is  too  late  to  expect  to  see  anything,  particu- 
larly ^aa  the  Russian  patrols  are  decidedly  harsh 
toward  unauthorized  nocturnal  prowlers ;  so  my 
chief,  and  indeed  only,  preoccupation  has  been 
the  diacovery  of  a  lodging  for  the  night.  My 
last  visit  here  was  only  for  a  few  hours,  and  I 
had  not  then  experienced  the  same  necessity,  so 
that  1  must  leave  my  readers  to  imagine  the 
sickening  sensation  of  a  hungry  stranger  on 
the  lookout  for  a  place  wherein  to  repose  his 
wearied  hones,  in  a  town  occupied  by  foreign 
troops,  whence  one-half  of  the  population  has 
fled — some,  I  am  told,  never  stopped  until 
they  reached  the  Carpathians,  and  the  moat  in- 
trepid not  short  of  Bucharest.  I  was  here  a 
year  ago,  and  had  breakfasted  most  execrably 
at  a  Hotel  de  Paris,  on  the  Grand  Square,  a  dis- 
mal circular  place,  with  a  tall  tower  in  the 
Mntze,  and  some  shops  and  taiia  running 
■nnisd  the  lidea.  But  there  was  no 
isatttutton  aa  the  Botel  de  Pnia

thoaght  of  the  Isto  bombardment,  but 
there  were  co  ruins,  and  even  an  earthquake 
would  have  left  a  racant  space  ;  the  old  shanties 
were  there  in  the  same  number,  and  yet  the  ho- 
tel was  missing — it  bad  vanished  into  thin  air, 
or  it  had  been  absorbed  and  something  else 
had  taken  its  place.  Now,  my  Roumanian  is 
not  fluent  and  the  natives  are  not  Intelligent, 
and  so  I  wandered  helplessly  about,  with  a  mer- 
cenary carrying  my  traps  in  rear,  until,  at  last, 
a  friendly  female  tobacconist  relieved  my  mind 
by  the  iziformation  that  the  establishment  still 
existed,  and  that  even  its  landlord  was  the 
same,  but  that,  in  compliment  to  the  Russians 
its  designation  had  been  changed,  and  that,  If 
I  wanted  to  go  there,  I  must  ask  for  the  Hot«l 
de  St.  Petersburg.  Surelv  this  homage  to  Mus- 
covy must  have  its  reward,  for  Boniface  has 
shown  his  knowledge  of  the  weaknesses  of  the 
human  heart  by  flattering  national  vanity  ;  but 
Boniface  is  a  time-server,  for  he  will  blot  out 
Petersburg  and  substitute  Vienna  on  his  sign 
should  the  Austrians  get  here^  of  which  there 
seems  to  be  not^a4ittle  probability. 

Apropos  of  thisjl  am  assurred  on  unquestion- 
able authority  jbilBt  the  situation  Is  becoming 
more  delicate  ^very  day — the  French  would  say 
plus  tmdue — ^with  the  Austro-Himgarian  Em- 
pire, and  that  the  fear  of  a  rupture  on  that  side, 
and  of  very  possible  complications  with  Eng- 
land, are  so  working  on  the  already  pacifically- 
disposed  minds  of  the  Emperor  and  Prince 
Gortschakoff ,  that  to  make  a  peace  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible is  their  one  persistent  preoccupation  ;  and 
even  Qen.  Ignatieff  has  been  heard  to  declare, 
within  the  Dist  week,  that  he  expected  to  be 
back  again  as  Ambassador  at  Constantinople 
before  the  xoiddle  of  October.  Russian  diplo- 
matists at  JLrondon,  Berlin,  and  Vienna  are,>l 
know,  feeling  the  official  pulse  on  the  situatiom, 
and  trying  to  discover  the  dispositions  of  the  re- 
spective (^binets  as  to  the  conditions  to  be  pr6- 
posed ;  these,  which  have  been  nromised  me 
from  an  official  source,  are  said  to  oe  very  mod- 
erate, and  I  will  give  them  so  soon  aa  I  return  to 
the  capital.  There  really  does  se^n  s^ 
chance  of  a  general  lying  down  legSQier 
of  lions  and  lambs,  providi|jg''uiat  all 
the  powers  agree  ^^^  ^v^oint  action 
without  any  ar7-t^rfl^--''ptfn*^e — a  difficult 
hypothesis  wlien  ojie-'feflects  that  the  negotia- 
tions will '  be,j9«i£nded  to  diplomatists  whose 
chief  end^a-Bfe  seems  to  be  to  try  how  they  can 
be  digl©<^  to  each  other— and  that  Turkey  will 

.^ y>t  tae  proffered  terms.    Eveiything  now  is, 

,)osslble,  and  the  more  illogical  the  solntton  to 
any  poUtical  question,  the  greater  Is  its  proba- 
bility. No  human  being  can  venture  to  predict 
what  will  happen,  but  the  best  informed  and 
cleverest  statesmen  in  Roumania — andwhatever 
be  their  other  shortcomings  they  are  clever — . 
are  convinced  that,  before  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember, peace  will  be  signed,  or  all  Europe  will 
be  in  arms. 

But,  to  return  to  my  own  adventures  :  Into 
the  hotel  I  entered,  and,  surely  enough,  there  I 
found  the'  same  personnel  of  a  fat  landlord  and 
dirty  waiters,  but  there  was  .a  change;  last 
year  everybody  spoke,  or  tried  to  speak,  French ; 
now  their  efforts  seem  to  be  in  the  direction  of 
oblivion.  I  am  rather  glad  that  I  do  not  know 
Russian,  so  that  X  was  unable,  even  for  my  own 
convenience,  to  pander  to  their  degraded  taate, 
and,  as  the  host  nearly  choked  to  death  while 
trying  to  gargle  himself  with  a  word  of  17 
consonants,  which  he  did  not  understand  after 
he  had  spluttered  it  out,  he  was  obliged  to  come 
back  to  the  language  of  Gaul.  Yes,  there  was 
a  room,  at  the  top  of  the  house,  entirely  at  my 
disposal  for  10  fimncs  the  night,  and  It  was 
light  and  airy,  but  had  not  found  an  occupant 
since  the  last  bombardment,  vrhen  a  shell  had 
passed  through  the  roof  and  had  torn  away  in 
its  passage  a  small  portion — a  very  small  por- 
tion he  said,  with  national  mendacity — of  the 
wall,  although,  on  inspection.  I  found  that  the 
hole  was  about  six  feet  In  diameter.  It  was 
evidently  a  very  mild  bomb,  a  civilized  bomb, 
for  although  its  entrance  had  been  accompanied 
with  a  good  deal  of  noise  and  it  had  made  the 
af  oresiud  hole  in  the  wall,  and  had  smashed  all  the 
windows— the  fragments  had  not  yet  been  swept 
away — and  had  torn  up  a  nortion  of  the  floor- 
ing, it  was  reposing  quietly  in  the  inside  corri-

a  renewal  of  the  bombardment  ia  hourly  ex-

as  it  stood  there,  a  true  symbol  of  the  national 
character — lazy,  nonchalant,  and  apathetic.  It 
had  fulfilled  its  mission  ;  it  had  knocked  down 
a  1^  of  masonry,  but  it  was  too  indolent  to 
burst ;  In  short,  it  di^lained  t6  be  guiltv  of  any 
work  of  supererogation.  I  don't  think  that  I 
felt  reassured  by  the  old  superstition  that  two 
projectiles  never  hit  the  same  spot,  and  the 
house  is  directly  %vithin  the  zone  of  fire,  should

TACTICS  OF  TUB  SUSaiAy  GEy£BALS. 

A  military  writer  in  the  PoiUisf-hc  Corre- 
spondem,  eommenting  on  the  failure  of  the  Boasian 
campaign  in  Armenia,  says  that  all  the  principal  Rus- 
sian commanders  there,  snch  as  Loris  HelikotT, 
HelmanzL,  Dewel,  Oklobschlo,  Tchavtchavadse, 
Scheremetieif,  Tergokassoff,  hare  gained  their  Gen- 
eijds'  epaulettes  in  the  Caucasus,  and  are  compara- 
tively young  in  the  service.  They  are  daring  soldiers, 
but  bare  Beldom  had  the  opportnnlty  of  handlisg 
large  masses  of  troops.  The  present  campaign  la 
the  first  in  which  they  have  had  large  divisions  onder 
their  command,  and  they  endeavored  to  conduct  the 
war  on  the  same  Rvstem  as  that  which  had  proved 
BO  successful  In  the  Caucasos  20  years  agO.  The 
leading  principles  of  this  system  are  to  surprise  and 
beat  the  enemy,  to  push  forward,  evade  strong  posi- 
tions, and  demoralize  the  enemy  by  the  quickness  of 
your  movements.  This  explains  the  attempt  to 
march  upon  Eraeroum  without  first  takise  Kars. 
Three  Ruaaian  divisions  were  employed  on  this  ser- 
vice, the  weakest,  of  which,  that  of  Erivan,  in  at- 
tempting to  ontserio  the  ot^«  column*,  ventured 
farthest,  and  thereby  compell^T  Geo.  Melikoff,  not- 
withstanding the  known  numerical  superiority  of 
his  enemy,  to  advance  against  him  by  forced  marches 
In  order  to  cut  his  army  in  two.  and  thfere- 
by  rfi«<^e  Gen.  Tei^kasaoff  from  a  posi- 
tion which  might  easily  have  become  fatal. 
How  critical  the  state  of  affairs  most  have 
been  Is  shown  by  the  fact  that  Gen.  Uelikoff  paid  a 
Kurd  2, OIH)  roubles  for  taking  a  message  to  Gen. 
Tergukas-soff  and  bringing  l»rk  his  reply.  The 
forces  of  the  latter  were  so  small  in  number  that  he 
could  only  leave  six  companies  uf  infantry  and  three 
sotulas  of  ravalrj-  in  Bayazld  to  cover  his  rear,  and 
that  after  effecting  his  retreat  to  Igdyr  he  had  only 
eight  battalions  and  15  sotnias.  or  some  7,OU0  men 
in  all.  TTie  most  critical  moment  Was  after  the 
battle  of  Dajar,  and  Tergukassoff  on  this  occasion 
showed  a  daring  and  resource  whicli  are  characteris- 
tic of  the  Ru.ssian  officers  of  the  Caucasus.  Instead 
of  going  straight  to  Bayazld,  as  his  enemy  expected, 
ha  took  a  side  road  to  the  norih  to  Igdyr,  thence 
marched  to  Bayazld,  and  by  this  manoeuvre  suc- 
ceeded, though  with  very  inferior  forces,  in  relieving 
the  Russian  garrison. 

HAiznoAD  onossiyas  at  q^ade,     . 

The  Cleveland  Leader  briefly  suinmarises  the 
opinion  of  Judge  Albert  Teomaus,  of  Trumbtill 
Coonty,  Ohio,  delivered  in  a  qase  in  which  a  railroad 
In  process  of  construction  seeks  to  "appropriate  " 
the  right  to  cross  and  a'^ght  of  way  acrossf  the 
track  of  the  Atlantic  and  Great  Western  Railroad  at 
grade,  and  at  a  point  on  the  Atlantic  and  dreat 
■Western  Road  where  the  united  grade  and  curva- 
ture of  that  road  makes  the  maximum  difficulty  of 
fjperation  going  westward  on  that  divialon^f  the 
road.  The  Jjeader  a&y^z  "The  grade  is  said  to  be 
more  than  48  feet  to  the  mile,  and  the  cuiVature  is 
equivalent  to  an  addition  to  the  grade  of  8  fe.et  to 
the  mile,  maViTig  the  grade  equal  to  5G  feet  to  the 
mBe.  The  Atl^tic  Boad  resists  the  appropriation 
upon  the  ground  that  the  'necessity  for 
the  appropriation '  cannot  be  shown,  and 
that  unless  this  necessity  be  shown  *  by 
satisfactory  proof '  to  tJie  Probata  Judge 
of  the  county,  there  is  no  authority  of  law  in  Omo 
under  which  an  *  appropriation  proceeding' can  go 
further,  or  anv  jury  be  summoned  to  assess  damages. 
The  court  heldf  substantially  :  That  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  queation  of  '  the  necessity  for  the  appropria- 
tien'  of  a  particular  point  of  crossing  at  eraoe  by  one 
railroad  ox  another  railroad's  track  in  Ohio,  rests  In 
the  Probate  Court  of  the  county  in  which  the  pro- 
posed croaricg  is  situated ;  and  that  where  the  cross- 
mg  at  the  proposed  point  would  work  unnecessary, 
nnreasouADle  or  unusuallv  dangerous  interruption  to 
tho  service  of  the  public  In  the  operation  of  the 
original  road,  and  it  ia  reasonably  practicable  to  select 
a  point  of  crossing  not  open  -to  either  of  these  objec- 
tions, an  impartial  public  tribunal  will  riot,  in  the 
exercise  of  the  supervisory  power  delegated  to  it  by 
the  State  over  the  exercise  of  the  power  of  '  eminent 
domain'  by  a  corporation,  decide  that  there  is  a  ne- 
cessity for  the  appropriation  of  the  proposed  eross-

iVovn  Vu  TaU  JfoQ  Oazette,  July  30. 
Some  interesting  information  on  the  subject 
of  German  emigration  ta  given  in  a  report  by  Vice- 
Consul  KTtMje,  just  issuejd.  It  appears  by  official  sta- 
tistics that  the  namber  <if  Germans  who  emigrated  to 
the  XJnito(k  SUtes,  from  1645  to  I87G,  both  y»«xs  in- 
clusiYe,jWii  2,685,430.  Emigration  from  Germany, 
particnljarly  to  the  United  States,  increased  steadily 
after  the  memorable  year  1848,  and  assumed  very 
large  proportions  immediately  after  the  chances  of  a 
war  between  Austria  anid  Prussia  in  1852  and  1S63. 
The  largest  number  of  emigrants  of  any  year  left 
in  Summer  1854,  or  ^ter  the  declaration  of  the 
Crimean  war— the  United  States  alone  receding 
215,00*9  German  immigrants  in  that  year.  There 
ap^ars  a  considerable  flailing  off  from  1858  to  1864, 
but  already  iu  1865,  w^en  a  probability  of  a  war 
betweek  Austria  and  Prussia  became  more  and  more 
visible,  I  the  number  of  j  emigrauts  began  to  increase 
very  much.  The  years!  from  1806  to  1870,  most 
likely  in  consequence  of  the  suapipious  relations 
between  Francej  and  the  North  German  Confedera- 
tion, which  ultiiuately  brought  on  the  war  In  1870, 
give  very  large  figures.  Even  the  year  IbTO  has  the 
large  number  of  91,779  emigrants..  "Strance  to 
witness,"  says  Consul  Hmge.  "  after  the  close  of  the 
Francd-German  war,  w|ien  th«  German  Empire  had  . 
been  cjjeated,  and  a  prosperity  seemed  to  have  come 
over  Germany  beyond  any  expectation,  when  wages 
had  been  almost  doubled,  and  when,  in  fact,  everything 
kJoked|in  the  briahtest  colors,  a  complete  emigration 
fever  «ras  raging  in  alljparts  of  Germany  ;  '■'  and  the 
vears  1871,  18*2,  187B  show  an  almost  alarming 
tendezi|<:y  to  quit  the  Ijatherland.  This  movement 
wouldno  doubt  have  continued  but  for  the  natural 
check  It  received  through  the  financial  and  commer- 
rial  crisis  in  the  United  States.  There  are,  however, 
at  present  again  unquestionable  signs  that  a  very 
large  smijrrating  element  fs  smoldering  in  Germany, 
Btimolkted  by  political  hod  economicai  embrollmenta 
which  ^will  break  forth  as  soon  as  sufficient  hope  and 
Inducements  offer  themselves  in  transatlantio  eoun- 
triea  In  the  eyes  of  the  disconteuted  and  de- 
sponding Germans:  '  The  general  political  as- 
pect and  the  decline  of  German  commerce 
and  industry  at  the  present  period  are, 
observes  Consul  Kmge^  such  that  an  emigration  on  a 
large  scale  must  be  the  naturml  consoouauce  of  the 
rukng  state  of  affairs.  Among  other  illustrations  of 
the  causes  of  a  desire  on  the  part  of  the  Germans  to 
leave  ^heir  native  land.  Consul  Kruge  mentions  the 
religionis  "Knlturkampf,"-whlch,  he  says,  in  its  prac- 
tical results  may  at  least  up  till  now  be  rifhtly 
termed  an  unsuccessful  move  on  the  political  chess- 
board, and  hss  been  brought  home  by  decrees  to  the

AX  OLD  LONDON  OJiAVEYARI>. 
T i& liOix^n  Standard  of  Aug.  Isays:  "At 
tho  Gtuldhall,  Westminster,  yesterday,  before  tho 
Assistant  Judge  at  the  Middlesex  Sessions,  ThonuM 
Booffler  appealed  against  an  order  of  the  Parish  of 
St.  Asry,  Islington,  to  demolish  premises  known  as 
New  BnnhiUi-fields.  Mr.  £.  J.  Jones  said  he  had 
known  the  ground  for  43  years,  and  had  been  pro- 
priejtor  of  it.  It  was  closed  as  a  burial-ground  in 
18Sp.  There  were  thousands  of ,  funerals  there  to 
his  personal  knowledge.  The  ground  was  comi>let«ly 
rottjon.  It  was  a  Ijurying-ground  before  1802,  and 
had  been  used  for  funerals  three  times  over,  bodies 
bell  g  buried  above  those  already  Interred  when  the 
"  coffins  became  rotten.  They  were  anxious  to  make 
theiWost  of  the  ground,  and  put  the  coffins  as  close  to 
ead  1  other  aa  possible.  Mr.BooflBer,  the  appellant, 
had  allthe  books,  and  would  never  produce  them.  In 
the  register  books  of  the  burials  in  the 
whnle  of  the  ground  there  were  upward  of  6,000  en- 
tries from  l802  to  1853.  On  that  particular  spot 
whi  re  the  houses  were  built  there  was  room  for  90 
gra'  ^es  and  they,  on  an  average,  -put  nine  coffins  In 
eacigrave.  There  wonld,-  therefore,  be  about  600 
or  '  (K>  bodies  in  that  part  of  the  ground.  In  digging 
for  the  reception  of  fresh  bodies,  u  they  found  xiofflna 
at  dl  rotten  they  knocked  them  to  pieces.  The 
ground  was  perfectly  honeycombed  with  bodies  and 
m  a  state  of  corruption.  Some  of  the  cofl&ns  were  re- 
moved in  the  night  so  that  the  Inhabitants  should  not 
be  Drightened  by  their  remo  vaL  They  had  buried  from 
23  to  25  on  a  Sunday.andlhe  average  of  Sunday  burials 
wa^  about  1 8.  Qn  week  days  the  burials  y?er  e  three  or 
four  a  day.  A  great  number  of  burials  took  place 
there  from  the  Fever  Hospital  The  particular  spot 
on  Which  these  houses  had  been  erected  was  not 
drained  at  all  Tho  whole  of  the  ground  was  made 
uppf  bones,  rubbish,  wood,  and  remains  of  bodies. 
Wl^en  a  body  was  required  to  be  buri<)d  a  searching- 
Iron  was  put  down,  and  if  it  struck  against  a  coffin, 
and  there  was  not  sufficient  depth,  then  it  was  wlth- 
m  and  a  fresh  search  was  nude.  Joseph  Fiurs- 
said  that  wHea  some  coffins  were  dragged  out 
men  employed  were  up  to  then-  knees  hi  black 
)h.  and  stimulants  had  to  be  given  them  in  eon- 
lence  of  the  stench.  The  Assistant  Judge  held 
',  this  was  not  a  case  that  eame  under  the  pro- 
visions of  tha  Artisans'  and  Laborers'  Improvement 
^  isliingi  Aot,  and  qoashed  the  orudr  with  custa." 

AN  ENGLISH  POLTOAlfJST. 
le  1*011  MaU  Gazette  of  Aug.  1  says  :  "  A 
named  Battery  was  tried  at  the  Uonntouth  Aa- 
on  HonAay  for  marrying  more  than  the  proper 
tr  of  wives,  and  sentenced  to  12  months'  Im* 
piflionment  Battery,  it  appeared,  had  married  three 
wives,  all  of  whom  are  stUl  alive  and  welL  He  mar- 
ried his  third  wife  in  June  last  year,  and  his  second 
wife,  happening  to  hear  of  the  indiserotlon,  was  ao 
m^ch  annoyed  that  she  instituted  a  proseen- 
tion  against  him..  This  led  to  an  iuTestlga- 
tiou,    and     the     unpleasant     discovery    that     ne 


aware  firtlHk  ezutenteof  his  other  wives,,  but  was 
nevartheleM  qnitie  satisfied  with  her  position.  Bat- 
tery had  bisen  agood  [husband  to  her,  and  she  bad  no 
dMBie  to  east  Um  dfl.  Still,  it  is  almost  time  that 
some  ehacdc  should  hie  imposed  on  Battery's  broad 
views  on  the  subject  Of  matrimony,  and  he  may  con- 
sider himaaU  Inesy  that  ha  has  escapsd  with  no  more

SOWIAF^NESE  FANS  a:RE  MADE. 
In  his  just  -published  report  to  the  Foreign 


Office,  her  Majesty's 


acting   Consul  for  Hiogo  and 


Osako,  ia  Japau,  tells  us  that  the  latter  place  is  the 
principal  city  for  the  manufactttre  of  the  Offi,  or  fold- 
ing fans,  all  descriptions  of  the  bamboo  kind  being 
made  there,  Whiliethe  flgores,  writing,  &c.,  are  exe- 
cuted in  Kiy6to.  The  superior  fans,  called 
uchiwa,  are  manufactured  In  Kiy6to,  and 
are  extensively'  used  by  the  better  classes  of 
Japanese,  while  the  inferior  kinds  of  the  same 
description  come  from  FushimI  and  Tokid.  3Ir. 
Anneslev  cites  from  |  a  locaF%ulhority  some  interest- 
ing partleulara  respecting  the  manufacture  of  the  ogi. 
or  folding  fau.t,  of  which  the  following  are  the  salient 
featorea  ;  "When  the  printed  sheets  which  are  to 
form  the  two  sides  ojf  the  fans  have  been  handed  over 
to  the  workman,!  together  with  the  bamboo  slips  for 
the  ribs,  fals  I  firat  business  is  to  fold  the 
two  sheets  I  which  are  to  form  the  fan  so 
that  they  iwill  retain  the  crease.  This  ia 
done  by  placing  them  between  two  pieces  of 
heavily-oiled  paper,  which  are  properly  creased,  and 
the  four  are  then  folded  up  together  and  placed  un- 
der pressure.  When  sufficient  time  has  elapsed  the 
sheets  ~are  taken  nut  and  the  molds  used  again,  the 
released  sheets  being  packed  up  for  at  least  24  hours 
In  their  folds.  The  ;ueit  proiiess  Is  to  take  the  ribs- 
(which  are  temporarily  arranged  in  order  on  a  wire.) 
and  'set*  themj  into  their  places  on  one  of  the 
sheets  after  it  has  b^en  spread  out  on  a  block  and 
pasted.  A  dash  of  I  paste  then  gives  the  wood-work 
adhesive  powers,  aiad  that  part  of  the  proce.'ts  is 
flnishod  by  affixing!  the  remaining  piece  of  paper. 
The  fan  has  to  be  ft^lded  up  and  opened  three  or  four 
times  before  the  folds  get  into  proper  shspe.  and 
by  the  time  It  is  put  by  to  dry  it  has  rereivt»d  an 
amount  of  handltnc  that  no  foreign  paper  would  en- 
dure. The  qualities  of  native  paper  now  used  are 
not  nearly; BO  gbodlaa  thosi»of  which  the  old  fans 
were  made,  and  In  consequence  the  style  of  manu- 
facture had  had  to  be  changed.  Instead  of  first  pasting 
the  two  surfaced  of  the  fan  tocether.  and  then  run- 
ing  in  thupalntoti  rib^.  the  ribs  are  square,  and  Bfi 
mentioned  aboVP.  are  jiasted  In  their  plsreit.  The 
ontside  lacquenkl  pl»><y»8  and  the  fancy  work  are  all 
done  in  Osaka  aud  Kiyoto,  and  some  of  the  designs 
in  gf»ld  lacquer  W  bone  are  reallv  artistic,  but  the 
demand  for  the  lilghly  ornamented  fans  is  not  great. 
When  tho  in8id(?s  are  dry,  tho  riveting  of  the  pieces 
together  (Including  the  outer  covering)  is  rapidly 
done,  aud  a  dasn  of^varniKb  quickly  finlanes  tlie  fan." 


AVSTRLiN  MILITAET  PRACTIOB. 
^Tho  Pall  Mfill  Gtuftte  of  July  31,  says :  "  The 
Austrian  military  authorities  have  determined  to 
establish  at  St4|iafeld  a  school  of  artillery,  with  an 
organization  slmilalr  to  that  of  the  existing  school  of 
mu.sketr>-  at  Briict.  Thirty-seven  officers  and  80 
men  are  to  be  instructed  annually  in  the  new  school, 
the  men  being  exorcised  principally  In  pointing  and 
laying  guns,  the  ofScers  in  conducting  experiments, 
determining  trajectories,  ranges,  &c.  The  course  of 
instruction  is  to  begin  each  year  in  the  Spring,  and 
to  conclude  when  Winter  sets  in.  It  has  also  been 
decided  that  the  men  belonging  to  the  siege  artillery 
and  the  englaeers  of  the  Austrian  Army  shall 
be  specially  eixprcised  this  Summer.  A  mimic 
bombardment  of  Komorn  will  be  carried  ont  by  the 
former,  while  the  latter  will  throw  a  pontoon  bridge 
across  the  Danube,  toward  the  end  of  August.  In  the 
presence  of  thel  Emperor,  Owing  probably  to  finan- 
cial considerations,  there  will  not  be  any  regular 
Autumn  manoeuvres  on  a  largo  scale  in  Austria  this 
year  ;  but,  nevertheless,  the  troops  will  be  exercised 
in  combined  manoiuvres  in  the  vicinity  of  each  of 
the  large  garrisons.  For  instance,  the  garrison  of 
Vienna,  which  consists  of  detachments  of  the  First, 
Second,  and  Twenty-fifth  Divisions  of  Infantrj-,  will 
be  reinforced  by  calllug  fn  the  battalions  quartered 
at  Br^k,  Klostemeuburg,  Mauer,  &c.,  and  will 
manoeuvre,  in  conjunction  with  a  force  of  artillery, 
cavalry,  and  engineers,  dnring  the  last  week  of 
August  and  the  first  seven  days  of  September.  Simi- 
lar mancBUvres  will  also  be  executed  by  the  garrison 
of  Lint,  in  concert  with  the  troops  stationed  In  the 
Prague  military  district,  and  it  Is  expected  that  the 
Emperor  and  Archdukes  Trill  be  present  at  these  lat- 
ter exercises."

A  PECULIAR  DIVORCE  CASE. 

A  clerk's  charges  AGAINST  BIS  WI7X— HER 
DENIALS  AND  COUKTEB  CHARGES. 

Henry  gangster,  a  clerk  with  Eugene  S. 
Mower,  a  coal  merchant,  has  brought  suit  in  the 
Court  of  Common  Pleas  to  obtain  a  divorce  from  his 
wife,  Alice,  who  keeps  a  boarding-house  at  Ko.  302 
West  Twenty-ninth-street,  on  the  ground  of  her  al- 
leged adultery,  especially  with  one  Joseph  W.  Wil- 
son, a  boarder  in  defendant's  house.  The  parties 
have  no  children.  Songster  alleges  that  he  arrived 
in  this  country  from  England  with  his  wife  in  1870. 
and  that  he  has  always  well  provided  for  her ;  that 
he  was  tamed  ont  of  his  own  house  by  Wilson,  who 
he  charges  is  kept  by  his  wife  when  he  is  out  of  em- 
ploy; that  his  wife  has  magnificent  'silk  dresses, 
worth  $100  each,  a  gold  watch  and  ch^n  worth 
$200,  gold  bracelets,  gold  and  amethyst  lockets, 
rings  of  pearls  and  other  precious  stones,  a  seal- 
skin sacque  worth  $150,  a  Paisley  shawl  worth 
$50,  and  over  $300  worth  of  iilvsr  wai*,  "the 
gifts  of  her  various  gentlemen  friends ;"  also  "  that 
her  underclothing  is  of  the  most  expensive  kind, 
trimmed  with  real  lace  and  embroidery ; "  that  she 
neglected  her  duties  as  a  wife,  failing  "  even  to  put  a 
stitch  in  his  clothing,  or  even  to  sew  a  button  on  his 
shirt ; "  that  he  had  often  implored  her  to  break 
with  Wilson,  and  shehadreplied,  "You  are  not  able  to 
keep  me  as  I  should  be  kept,  and,  tloecftfore  have  no 
right  to  complain,"  and  she  furtiwr  sidd,  "If  you 
do  not  like  it,  you  can  go."  Sangster 
farther  allegM  that  his  wif6  "wotild  kiss 
and  htig  Wilson  in  the  presence  of  persons  living  in 
the  house;"  that  she  would  "help  Wilson  to  hia 
room  when  ho  was  intoxicated,  and  undress  him 
and  put  him  to  bed  ;"  that  in  187S  she  proposed  to 
plaintiff  "  that  if  be  would  submit  to  letting  a  rich 
old  man  of  her  acquaintance  have  a  room  in  the 
house,  and  shut  his  eyes,  said  man  Would  buy  end 
furnish  her  a  house  in  her  own  name  for  the  purpose 
of  keeping  boarders,  and  that  plsdntiff  might  then  do 
without  work ;"  and  that  "In  April,  18*^  the  said 
old  man.  whose  name  the  defendant  refused  to  tell. 
furnished  her  with  $2(X>  to  go  to  England,  and  that 
she  went  and  remained  abr<»d  four  months.'. 

The  defendant  and  Wilson  both  deny  the  truth  of 
the  allegations  of  the  plaintiff,  the  defendant  aver- 
ring that  she  is  a  poor  woman,  almost  destitute  of 
means,  and  that  she  has  always  been  a  virtuous  and 
good  wife,  supporting  herself  during  the  nine  years 
of  her  marriage  with  plaintiff,  and  that  he  has  never 
^ven  her  any  presents  since  their  marriage,  except  a 
silver  thimble  and  »  napkin  ring;  and  that  the  only 
money  she  has  received  from  hkn  for  a  long  time  was 
a  loan  of  $5,  which  she  was  unable  to  repay  him  in 
cash,  and  which  she  discharged  by  giving  mm  a  pair 
of  blankets.  Wilson  swears  in  an  affi&vit  tliat  he 
has  not  bad  any  improper  relations  with  the  de- 
fendant, and  that  he  "believes  she  is  virtuous  and 
honorable." 

The  main  part  of  theso  charges  and  denials  were 
contained  in  affidavits  submitted  to  the  court  on  mo- 
tions _  mode  on  behalf  of  the  defendant  for  counsel 
fee  and  alimony,  and  that  plaintiff  should  furnish  a 
bill  of  particulars  relating  to  Ids  chaiges  against  her. 
Both  parties  allege  that  they  are  poor,  plaintiff 
swearing  thot  he  cannot  afford  to  pay  either  connsel 
fee  or  alimony,  and  defendant  that  she  cannot  pay 
the  expenses  of  the  suit  and  maintain  herself  with- 
out some  allowance. 

Judge  Larremore  yesterday  ordered  a  reference  of 
the  application  for  counsel  fee  and  alimony,  and  de- 
nied the  morion  for  a  bill  of  particulars.

A.Y  EARLY  STEAMER'S  FIGXTRB-HBAD. 

The  New-Haven  PaUadtMin  of  Monday  says  : 
' '  On  tho  portico  of  Mr.  Frederic  C.  Rowland's  reol- 
dence  in  Olive-street  ii  a  fine  model  of  an  American 
eagle,  which  has  an  interesting  history.  It  was  the 
figure-head  of  the  steamer  United  States,  which  plied 
between  this  dty  and  New-Tork  earlv  in  the  twen- 
ties. She  was  the  first  boat  to  cross  into  o«tsin 
Kew-Tork  waters  after  the  Folton  monopoly  eama  to 
an  end.  Before  that  time  she  used  to  nm  between 
this  city  and  a  point  jtistihortof  the  nnnopolixed 
waters.  At  one  time  she  ran  aground  on  Tairfleld 
Beach,  and  Mr.  George  Bowlaud,  father  of 
Mr.  Frederick  C  Bowland,  put  a  gang  of 
men  at  work  and  had  her  dug  out.  "When  tha 
steamer  was  refitted  he  was  given  the  escle,  aod  It 
has  been  kept  in  the  family  ever  since.  It  has  been 
pulntod  aud  gilded  for  a  large  number  of  public  ocea- 
eions.^the  family  loaning  it  to  nearly  everybody  who 
applied  for  it.  A  few  of  these  occasions  werw  Got.

Mr.  Raxdall  has  been  heard  from  again. 
A  reporter  of  a  Te.xas  paper  has  brought 
him  to  the  surfaee  with  a  statement  that 
practically  pledges  his  support  to  the  Mis- 
sissippi leveo  scheme,  the  Texas  Pacific 
Kailroail,  and  ii  gmieral  plan  of  Government 
exponJitura  for  iutenial  improvements'  in 
the  South.  ''Tlie  :?(>, 000,000  acres  of 
laud  now  covered  by  the  waste  waters  from 
the  Mississippi  should  be  reclaimed ;"  when 
thei  "Southern  members  all  agree  as  to  the 
geographical  line  the  road  should  take, 
there  would  Ix"  little  opposition  "  to  the  Texas 
pacific  ;  and  as  to  the  labor  troubles,  "  if 
internal  improvements  will  help  us,  then  let 
ns  have-  internal  improvements. "  These  are 
ifr.  Rasd.\ll".s  bids  for  Southern  support. 
We  presume  they  wUlTie  successful,  and  the 
great  lobby  which  will  concentrate  at  Wash- 
ingtcm  ne.xt  Winter  will  not  he  slow  to  ap- 
preciate the  value  of  a  "willing"  Speaker. 
The  role  of  economy  will  be  doubly  hard  for 
th6.,Demoerat3,  however,  under  such  leader- 
ahij,. 


That  the  reform  movement  of  which  the 
election  of  an  Anti-Tammany  delegation  to 
the  Legislature  will  be  one  of  the  results,  i 
likely  to  succeed  this  Fall,  there  can  be  but 
little  doubt.  It  is  extremely  desirable,  how- 
ever, that  it  should  be  a  citizens'  movement 
in  fact  as  well  as  in  name,  and  that  some 
active  persons  of  the  trading  politician  per- 
suasion who  are  now  somewhat  obtrusively 
advertised  in  connection  with  it,  should  be 
estimated  at  their  proper  value.  We  have 
no  desire  to  underrate  the  political  impor- 
tance of  Mr.  E.  R  Hart  and  his  colleagues 
who  haVe  formed  what  is  known  as  the 
"New-York  County  Democracy. 'M  But 
there  are  people  who  'will  insist  on 
associating  ideas  of  a  "sell  /  out" 
vrith  these  industrious  gentlemen, 
and  who  will  persist  in  thinking  that  with 
one  member  of  the  Hart  family  in  the  Con- 
troller's office,  and  another  in  the  Mayor's 
Permit  Bureau,  the  political  vision  of  the 
Chairman  of  the  E.xeeutivo  Committee  of 
the  County  Democracy  may  be  in  some  dan- 
ger of  squinting  Tammany-wise.  A  similar 
doubt  may  be  hazarded  about  the  vitality 
of  '*  reform"  principles  among  the  Anti-Cus- 
tom-house Republicans,  who  are  reported 
to  be  warmly  in  accord  with  the  Hart  ■wing 
of  the  Anti-Tammany  Democrats.  It  is  ex- 
tremelj'  unlikely  that  the  leadership  of  the 
movement  against  the  Kelly  dictatorship 
will  he  allowed  to  fall  into  any  such  hands. 
If  it  does',  so  much  the  worse  for  the  move- 
ment. ' 


TTie  almost  simultaneous  tidings  from 
J>oints  a  thousand  miles  apart — the  Staked 
J'lains,  in  Texas,  and  Big  Hole  Caiion,  in 
t&Iontana — have  illustrated  the  folly  of  the 
'•cry  for  army  reduction  which  was  raised  in 
the  last  Congress,  and  has  been  more  or 
less  echoed  since.  Besides  the  ordinary 
garrison  needs,  we  have  seen  three  distinct 
and  imperative  calls  made  upon  the  Army 
this  Summer — one  to  guard  the  Texan 
l)ord(;rfrom  the  raids' of  bandits  from  Mex- 
Jco  ;  a  second  to  quell  the  Indian  uprisings 
in  Xdaho  and  Montana ;  a  third  to  protect 
Of 'vernment  and  corporate  property,  and,  in 
feet,  society  itself ,  from  riots  in  the  Atlantic 
f  jtates.  The  most  frantic  friends  of  army  re- 
duction will  not  claim  that  the  same  soldier 
could  srrai  Jtaneously  answer  all  three  of  these 
calls,. even  if  ho  were  "like  Cerberus,  three 
gentlemen  at  once."  'What  we  have  learned 
is  that  triinsportiiig  troops,  on  sudden  calls, 
irom  Georgia  to  California,  from  North  Car- 
jolirji  to  Texas,  from  Ne^t-York  to  Pittsburg, 
from  Washington  to  St.*  LouisJ*  and  so  on, 
makes  a  heavy  bill  of  expense,  which  would 
go  a  long  way  toward  paying  for  a  larger 
fiirmy.  If  the  blanket  is  too  short  and  too 
narrow,  no  twisting  and  turning  wUl  make 
it  fit  the  bed ;  pull  'it  toward  the  head-board 
of  Canada  and  it  lays  bare  the  posts  in 
Texas ;  stretch  it  well  over  the  Pacific  coast 
and  it  uncovers  the  Atlantic  shore.  The 
Summer's  lesson  ought  not  to  be  forgotten 
next  Winter  by  Congress. 


The  letter  of  our  special  correspondent 
trom  Oltenitza  will  be  found  very  interest- 
Sing  reading.  It  discusses,  with  a  thorough

the  prospects  of  the  campaign  in  Bulgaria

Bubsequent  eveqts,  the  relative  positions  in

sador of  Russia  at  Constantinople,  is  not,  in

timely  portion  of  a  letter  which  will  amply

THE  "  WOSEING  MEN"  IN  POLITICS. 
Nothing  could  bo  more  natural  than  that 
the  "working  men,"  or  laborers  for  daily 
and  weekly  wages,  should  in  this  countr}' 
seek  to  better  their  condition  b»  forming  a 
political  party.  It  is  natural,  because  the 
people  of  the  United -States  have  long  had 
an  exaggerated  idea  of  what  the  Government 
can  do  to  make  lif  A  ea.sier  and  pleasanter  for 
every  one,  and  because  this  particular  class 
of  the  people  have  been  taught  in  sea- 
son and  out  of  season  to  expect 
from  political  parties  the  utmost  de- 
votion to  their  interests.  It  certainly 
is  not  due  to  our  politicians  if  the 
working  men  do  not  believe  that  the  Gov- 
ernment can  remove  all  difficulties  from 
their  path,  and  that  the  simplest  way  to  get 
the  Government  to  do  so  is  to  form  a  politi- 
cal party  to  control  directly,  by  a  majority 
vote,  or'fndirectly,  by  gaining  the  balance 
of  power,  the  action  of  the  Government. 
This  policy,  moreover,  is  as  legitimate  as  it 
is  natural,  and  the  working  men  not  only 
have  a  clear  right  to  organize  to 
carry  their  views  into  effect,  but 
their*-doiug  so  is  likely,  in  tlie  long 
run,  to  be  of  advantage  to  them.  If  their 
views  are  erroneous,  there  is  no  way  of  cor- 
recting them  so  surely  as  by  making  them 
the  subject  of  political  discussion,  and  even 
of  legislation.  Free  institiitious  often  find 
their  greatest  utility  to  those  who  live  under 
them  in  giving  an  opportunity  to  learn,  in 
the  stern  school  of  e.xperience,  the  conditions 
of  healthy  public  life  and  the  limitations 
which  hem  in  every  organized  community. 
It  is,  of  course,  desirable  that  political 
parties  should  aim  at  some  practicable  and 
just  purpose,  and  should  pursue  this  purpose 
by  rational  means.  But,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
no  party  invariably  observes  these  require- 
ments. The  working  men  are  not  likely,  in 
their  own  name,  to  demand  more  absurd  and 
unattainable  ends  than  politicians  have 
from  time  to  time  _  profe.-tsed  to  seek  in 
order  to  gain  their  votes,  aud  it  may  be 
that  independent  action,  aud  the  responsi- 
bility whicli  goes  with  it;  will  sober  the 
authors  of  the  now  movement,  and  keep 
their  expectations  within  reasonable  limits. 
Their  present  position,  however,  is  not  en- 
couraging. The  mo-st  extended  statement 
of  doctrine  which  has  yet  been  made  is  that 
of  the  Cincinnati  Convention  on  Saturday. 
Tills  contains  a  good  deal  that  is  vague  and 
declamatory — a  feature  not  wholly  un- 
known in  other  political  platforms — and 
some  very  clear  statements  as  well.  Among 
the  "demands"  of  the  convention  are  the 
establishment  of  eight  hours  as  "a  normal 
working  day , "  and  punishment  of ' '  violators ;" 
abolition  of  all  conspiracy  laws ;  repeal  of 
the  patent  laws  and  charters  giving  special 
pri'vileges ;  repeal  of  the  tariff  laws,  and 
substitution  of  direct  taxation  based  on  in- 
come ;  all  means  of  transportation  and  com- 
munication to  be  controlled  by  the  Govern- 
ment, and  finally,  "  for  the  purpose  of  abol- 
ishing the  wages  system,  all  industrial  enter- 
prises to  be  placed  under  tlie  control  of  the 
Government  as  fast  as  practicable,  and 
operated  by  free  co-operative  unions  for  the 
good  of  the  whole  people." 

There  are  other  propositions  of  minor  im- 
portance and  less  significance.  Those  which 
we  have  indicated  show  very  plainly  what 
the  organizers  of  the  working  men's  party 
think  they  ought  to  have  and  are  likely  to 
get  from  political  action.  We  need  hardly 
say  that  their  demands  are  almost  wholly 
visionary,  and  that  if  Congress  and  every 
SEate  Legislature  were  to  be  in  the  hands  of 
the  workiifg  men's  direct  representatives  for 
the  next  ten  years,  and  they  were  allowed  free 
trial  of  all  the  measures  here  proposed,  they 
would  find  themselves,  at  the  end  of  that 
time,  poorer  in  purse  and  more  dependent 
for  the  necessities  and  comforts  of  life 
than  they  now  are.  In  the  meantime  they 
might  work  a  great  deal  of  mischief  to  oth- 
ers, but  they  would  be  sure  to  suffer'  most 
themselves.  The  reason  of  this  is  that 
what  they  propose  ignores  the  most  impor- 
tant fact  connected  with  the  transaction  of 
any  kind  of  business — namely,  that  it 
is  undertaken  for  the  profit  of  each 
man  concerned,  and  that  this  is 
ieh  the  only  motive  by  which  business, 
hi»v  whether  agriculture,  or  manufactures,  or 
transportation,  or  mercantile  exchanges 
can  be  sustained.  The  laws  which  the 
working  men  now  suggest  ( ignore  this  mo- 
tive on  the  part  of  all  bnt  themselves,  and 


It-will  b«  observed  that  the  Stoats  Zeitung 
Inakes  a  forcible  rejoinder  to  the  somewhat 
tawdry  plea  of  the  World  in  favor  of  the 
Governor's  purity  of  motiTes  in  vetoing  the 
^omnibus"  charter  and  the  Financial  bill 
passed  at  last  session  for  the  relief  of 
Kew-York  tax-payers.  The  only  "weighty 
and  controlling  public  reasons"  whiei 
the  Governor  gave  for  -withholding 
approval  &oia  these  bills  were  summed  np 
In  the  statement  that  they  were  opposed  by 
'the  majority;  of  the  City  del^ation  in  the

they  were  carried  ont  the  only  effect  wonld 
be  to  destroy  the  demand  for  labor,  impair 
the  means  of  paying  for  labor,  and  reduce 
its  earnings,!  Against  the  operation  of  this 
process  the  working  men  would  be  the  least 
able  to  support  themselves,  and  would,  as 
we  have  said,  stiff:!  the  most  severely. 

Take,  for  instance,  the  enforcement  of 
eight  hours  ^s  a  working  day.  This  is  de- 
sirable, of  course,  only  if  it  can  be  had  with- 
out a  reduction  of  the  day's  pay.  'Where 
the  present  hotirs  of  labor  are  ten  per  day, 
it  would  therefore  be  equivalent  to  an  ad- 
vance of  20  per  cent,  in  wages.  But  the 
Government  cannot  enforce  specific 
rates  of  wages.  England,  when  its 
Parliament  was  a  close  corporation, 
and  the  laborers  were  as  helpless  politipally 
as  the  Indians  are  in  our  country,  tried  to 
keep  down  wages  by  law,  and  failed.  To 
try  to  advance  them  in  the  United  States 
would  simply  drive  out  of  business  those 
who  could  not  afford  to  pay  the  advance, 
and  throw  the  workmen,  thus  deprived  of 
employment,  into  desperate  competition 
with  their  fellows. 

Take  again  the  repeal  of  patent  laws. 
This  demand  is  based  on  the  theory  that 
useful  inventions  would  stUl  be  made  just 
as  freely  if  there  were  no  right  of  property 
in  them  after  they  were  made.  But  clearly" 
this  is  a  false  theory.  No  man,  unless  an 
enthusiast  or  a  dreamer,  would  waste  his 
time  contriving  machinery  which  his  next 
neighbor  could  copy  at  -will,  and  to  which 
[lis  own  labor  and  study  gave  no  value  what- 
sver  that  he  could  get  pay  for.  It  is  for 
:he  working  men  themselves  to  say 
svhethei'  inventions  are  worth  ""Saving, 
rhey  apparently  think  so,  or  they 
Evould  not  want  to  make  them  free.  But  if 
JUT  patent  laws  were  repealed,  we  should 
soon  see  our  inventors  either  idle  or  seeking 
their  fortunes  in  other  countries  where 
they  could  enjoy  the  fruits  of  their  own 
skUL  The  immediate  result  of  this  would 
bo  to  give  such  foreign  countries  an  im- 
mense advantage  over  our  own,  and  to 
make  the  demand  for  work  here  steadily 
diminish. 

Finally,  the  scheme  for  the  Government 
management  of  all  "  industi-ial  enterprises" 
is  the  one  which  would  most  surely  come  to 
grief.  Xo  Government  is  or  can  be  made 
fit  for  any  such  business.  It  would  have  to 
work  through  liired  employes,  and  could  never 
command  the  energy,  perseverance,  vig- 
ilance, study,  skill,  and  honesty  necessary 
to  insure  success.  Nor  could  it  long  com- 
maud  capital.  If  it  undertook  to  raise  it  by 
taxation,  capital  would  be  sent  ont  or  taken 
out  of  the  coiuitry,  for  men  with  money  to 
lose  would  never  submit  to  putting  it  into 
the  Iiaiuls  of  office-holders  to  waste  or  steal. 
The  result,  as  in  the  other  insta  nces  we 
have  cited,  would  be  d'Lsastrous  to  the  work- 
ing men  aud  on  a  larger  scale.  We  have 
thus  pointed  out  brielly  what  we  regard  as 
the  impracticable  demands  of  the  new 
party.  We  repeat  that  there  is  no  reason 
why  they  should  not  seek  to  enforce  them 
tlirough  political  organization,  if  they  are 
sincerely  convinced  that  they  will  be  bene- 
fited by  their  enforcement.  But  the  most 
sure,  and  probaldy  the  most  useful,  result  of 
their  expcriraeut  will  be  the  acquisition  of 
some  wholesome,  though  perhaps  expensive, 
political  knowledge.

THE  WAli  WITH  THE  SEZ  I'ERCES. 
Making  all  allowances,  Gen.  Gibbon's 
bloody  fight  in  the  Big  Hole  Pass  can- 
not be  reckoned  a  success.  When  we 
find  an  officer  of  Gibbon's  record  tele- 
graphing that  the  affair  has  left  him  in 
need  of  everything,  and  begging  that  aid  may 
be  sent  him,  it  is  doubtful  whether  we  can 
concede  him  even  a  drawn  battle.  The 
preceding  fight  with  Joseph,  at  the  mouth 
of  Cottonwood  Creek,  which  Howard 
claimed  as  a  triumph,  was  at  best  but  a 
Cadmean  victory — a  struggle  in  which  the 
uominal  victors  suffered  quite  as  much  as 
the  vanquished, 

"The  remarkable  feature  of  the  war  with 
the  Nez  Percys  is  the  skill  with  which  the 
Indians  have  fought.  Wo  do  not  now  refer 
to  pimple  feats  of  valor,  but  to  tlio  actual 
tactical  conduct  of  battle;  for  they  have 
\n  every  respect  proved  themselves  as 
th(»rough  soldiers  as  any  of  our  trained  vet- 
erans. In  the  affairs  on  Camas  Prairie  their 
celerity  aud  boldness  were  conspicuous.  In 
HfiWARD's  battle  on  the  Clearwater,  there  is 
little  doubt  that  he  outnumbered  the  hos- 
tiles,  and  ho  had  the  advantage  of  artil- 
lery ;  yet,  despite  his  Galling  guns  and  his 
howitzers,  the  Xez  Percys  got  On  his  line  of 
supplies  aud  for  twenty-four  hours  threat- 
ened to  destroy  hiin.  Their  inanGeuvres 
have  been  in  every  way  skillful.  Whether 
the  demanil  is  for  selection  of  the  battle- 
ground, for  skirmishing,  for  flanking,  for 
threatening  communications,  for  attack  in 
mass,  for  intrenching  with  rifle-pits,  for  de- 
taching sharp-shooters  "  to  comraaiid  a 
spring  of  water,"  as  in  Howard's  fight,  or 
foi  charging  "  a  high,  wooded  bluff,"  which 
proves  to  be  the  strategic  key  of  the  posi- 
tiob,  as  in  Gibbon's  fight,  the  Indians  ex- 
hibit instincts  and  methods  as  strictly  mili- 
tary as  if  they  had  been  acquired  at  West 
Point. 

Joseph  and  his  band  have  been  much 
imdeiTated  by  the  common  reports.  He  is 
no  vagabond,  putting  on  the  war-paint  from 
thirst  of  blood  and  greed  of  booty.  He  has 
a  cause  which,  we  regret  to  say,  is  too  much 
founded  in  justice  ;  he  and  his  tribe  have 
been  -wronged  ;  and  the  costly  war  he  is 
now  waging  could,  with  ordinary  good 
sense  and  a  suiccre  purpose  to  do 
him  '  justice,  have  been  prevented. 
His  braves  are  by  no  means  a  gang  of  be- 
sotted brutes,  with  no  instincts  above  drink- 
ing, thie-ving,  and  scalping.  Who  are  the 
Nez  Percys  f  They  are  a  tribe  who  have, 
by  long  aud  friendly  intercourse  'with  the 
whites,  acquired  not  a  few  arts  ot  civiliz'S- 
tion.  Well  endowed  by  nature,  some  of 
them  have  shown,  by  their  skill  in  agricul- 
ture on  the  reservation,  considerable  capa- 
cities for  progress.  From  the  time  of 
Lewis-  and  Clark's  expedition  to  this 
day  the  Nez  Percys  have  maintained  a  repu- 
tation decidedly  superior  to  the  average  of 
Indians.  They  have  been  mostly  peaceful, 
af  d  some  of  them  have  picked  up  consider- 
able education.  Lawteb,  the  main  chief  of 
the  tribe,  is  a  man  of  character  ;  his  brother 
is  a  regularly-ordained  Presbyterian  preach- 
er in  Oregon.  Joseph's  band,  as  we  have 
before  explained,  have  never  been  in  the 
Nez  Perc6  reservation,  which  was  set  apart 
in  1855,  but  have  been  allowed  during 
more  than  twenty  years  to  have  their  liber- 
ty of  roving  and  their  own  little  patch  of

laJB  ATTITUDE  OF  GERMAWY. 

The  present  attitude  of  Germany,  and  the 
events  whi  eh  have  led  to  it,  afford  a  curious 
study  tc  those  who  hold  that  history  repeats 
itself.  Looking  back  to  the  last  century, 
wefind  E^ilissia,  In  1748,  holding  the  bal- 
ance of  power  in  Central  Europe,  and  to  a 
certain  extent  guiding  the  movements  of 
her  immediate  neighbors.  Fifteen  years 
later  we  s^e  her,  in  1763,  ■victorious  over 
Austria  and  France,  and  dictating  a  treaty 
which  g»ves  her  a  considerable  accession  of 
territory.  The  close  of  the  Russo-Turkish 
war  of  1770  finds  Austria  in  sus- 
picious anxiety  as  to  the  designs  of 
Russia,  and  ,  the  Cabinet  of  Berlin 
acting  as  umpire  between  the  three 
Eastern  Powers.  Finally,  in  1784,  comes 
the  realization  of  Frederick  the  Great's 
long-cherished  scheme  of  a  Furstenbund, 
or  confederation  of  German  Princes,  under 
the  acknowledged  headship  of  Prussia. 
Every  o  le  of  these  events  finds  its  counter- 
part in  the  hi-story  of  the  last  ten  years, 
and  the  spirit  of  Frederick  the  Great  ap- 
pears t<i  have  revived  in  the  person  of. 
Prince  lliRMARCK. 

But  here  the  parallel  ends ;  for,  although 
Germany's  sources  of  power  are  the  same, 
she  is  now  exerting  them  in  a  diametric  all  v 
opposite  direction.  In  1770  she  aided 
Austria  to  holdback  Russia;  in  IS 77  she 
is  aidinf ;  Russia  to  hold  back  Austria.  "When 
Marshal  Rouajitzofp  was  dashing  across 
the  Kag  ioul  in  pursuit  of  the'  flying  Turks, 
Count  V  ON  IKaunitz,  the  Austrian  Premier, 
-wrote  in  all  haste  to  Frederick  the  Great 
that  "Austria  would  declare 'war  rather 
than  permit  the  acquisition  by  Russia  of 
Moldavii  and  Wallachia."  Substituting 
Bulgarit,  for  the  two  Principalities,  her 
message  is  sub.stantially  the  same 
now ;  but  it  no  longer  meets  the 
•same  icady  response.  In  those  days, 
however,  there  was  still  an  alternative, 
which  tl  e  sagacious  King  of  Prussia  was  not 
slow  to  perieive.  Russia  wished  to  dismem- 
ber Turkey ;  Austria  objected  ;  but  between 
the  two  iisputants  lay  a  territory  even  more 
easily  dismembered,  which  might  serve  as  a 
scapegoiit.  I  No  sooner  said  than  done  ;  Aus- 
tria anil  Eussia  shared  Poland  between 
them,  Prussia  received  the  north-western 
corner  ai  a  consultation  fee,  and  all  was  har- 
mony once  more.  Will  the  present  dispute 
be  arranged  by  a  similar  partition  of  Turkey  ? 

But  it  is  not  the  lo  ist  striking  feature  of 
this  e.xtrioriilinary  complication  that  Rus- 
sia's staiichest  friend  at  this  moment  is  the 
very  State  ijvhich  she  is  wont  to  regard  as 
her  natur,-il  and  most  formidable  enemy. 
Germanj-  is  to  Russia  now  what  France 
was  to  England  in  lC7i>,  or  England  to 
France  in  1816 — at  once  the  close  ally  of 
the  Government  and  the  bitter  aversion  of 
the  nation.  It  was  in  illustration  of  this 
latter  feeling  that  Nicholas  Gogol,  the 
greatest  of  Russian  huraori.st.s.  described  a 
pious  Cossack  as  putting  the  Kvil  One  to 
flight  w.th  the  epithet  of  "accursed  Ger- 
man," an  insult  which  the  foul  fiend  himself 
could  not  endure.  Of  the  thousands  who 
have  Ian  ;hed  over  this  imique  s.arcasm,  very 
few  su.s]>ect  what  a  deep  political  truth  is 
masked  by  its  seeming  extravagance.  In 
Saratoff  and  the  other  great  manufacturing 
towns  o :  the   Volga,    one   may  often   hear 


quoted, 

proverb. 

Gei-man 


with   spiteful    emphasis,  the    pithy 

"  Few   German    wojkmen,    many 

overseers,"  and  this  fact,  together 


with  the  prominence  of  the  foreigners  in 
politics  as  well  as  tr.ado,  and  the  fear  of  a 
war  witl  Germany  ou  the  casus  hetU  of  th< 
Baltic  P  roviuces,  snlTicicntly  explains  this 
all-pervading  antipathy.  But  whatever  pos- 
sibilities may  lurk  in  the  future,  the  genuine 
ness  of  the  .support  given  by  Germany  to 
Russia,  md  the  advantages  derived  from  it 
by  the  Utter,  arc,  for  the  present,  beyond 
dispute.

giving  his  quota  to  the  great  riddle,  'What 
■win  they  do  with  it  f  We  begin  by  admit- 
ting that  there  is  no  place  between  High 
Bridge  and  the  Battery  where  offal,  refuse, 
waste,  or  other  rejected  matter  can  be  de- 
posited. An  experiment  was  tried  on  Har- 
lem flats.  The  receding  tides,  and  the  nat- 
ural effect  of  Sim  rays  on  marshy  lands,  were 
bad  enough,  but  when  street-sweepings  and 
ashes  were  superadded,  the  odors  were  so 
pungent  that  the  ^pulation  of  the  upper 
part  of  the  City  held  their  noses  and  pro- 
tested. Then  sundry  thousands  of  tons  were 
sent  over  to  Blackwell's  lUand,  where  the 
striped-shirted  convicts  shoveled  it  into  the 
low  places  of  that  f  amons  body  of  land.  High 
authority  declared  that  the  stuff  was  inodor- 
ous. But  laymen  of  equal  intelligence,  and 
without  bias,  are  ready  to  swear  that  it  was 
horribly  offensive,  and  that  it  was  monstrous 
to  punish  the  unfortunates  of  the  City  insti- 
tutions with  such  smells  as  those  which 
were  thus  circulated. 

The  sea  and  the  waters  about  New- York 
Bay  only  remained.  Those  who'  have  read 
the  somewhat  frequent  letters  of  Mr.  G.  W. 
Blunt  on  the  subjeetof  dumping  garbage  in 
the  Bay,  need  not  be  told  that  the  Police 
Commissioners  have  had  a  hard  time  of  it. 
G.  W.  Blttnt  has  the  eyes  of  Argus.  A 
solitary  scow  cannot  steal  ont  in  the  dark- 
ness of  niglit  with  its  guilty  load  of  gar- 
bage, but  the  keen  nose  of  Blcnt  follows 
its  scent,  and  the  piratical  skipper  is,  next 
day,  haled  before  a  magistrate  on  a 
charge  of  obstructing  navigation.  After 
Blunt,  come  the  Long  Island  counties 
of  Kings  and  Queens.  The  first  of  these 
has  put  an  injunction  on  the  Commis- 
sioners, and  the  other  has  indicted 
them  for  committing  a  nuisance.  The  only 
naval  engagement  of  the  decade,  except  tliat 
off  the  coast  of  Peru,  was  fought  by  the 
Kings  County  Shore  Inspectors  and  the  f^r-  - 
bage  fleet  off  Coney  Island,  when  it  was  at- 
tempted to  unload  offal  in  the  sad  sea  waves 
which  lave  the  sandy  beaches  of  Kings. 
Staten  Island  has  pursued  the  Commission- 
ers so  virulently  that  a  garbage  scow  would 
no  more  venture  near  that  locality  than  a 
Cossack  would  trust  himself  in  Constanti- 
nople. 

There  is  nothing  left  for  the  Police  Com- 
missioners but  to  construct  a  sea-going  fleet 
and  send  the  City  refuse  outside  of  the  three 
marine  leagues  which  constitute  the  bovmd- 
ary  of  civil  jurisdiction.  There,  at  least, 
the  vigilant  Blunt  cannot  follow  them.  In- 
deed, we  observe  that  this  Ancient  Mariner, 
congratulating  himself  on  the  fact  that  the 
Commissioners  are  in  trouble,  and  will  be  iu 
more  trouble  this  Winter,  suggests  that  a 
sea-going  fleet  is  necessary.  He  says 
tliat  noboily  can  make  any  money  by 
nsing  the  City  refuse,  and  that  four  iron 
vessels,  able  to  na^-igate  the  waters  outside 
of  Sandy  Hoolt,  must  be  provided.  These, 
loaded  with  the  refuse,  garbage,  and  waste, 
may  proceed  to  sea  under  steam,  and,  when 
out  of  sight  of  land,  may  drop  their  loads 
in  the  deep  bosom  of  the  ocean  and  return 
without  danger  of  legal  process  or  news- 
paper letters  from  G.  W.  B.  'Tis  a  consum- 
mation devoutly  to  be  wished.  The  City 
must  be  cleaned,  though  it  is  not ;  and  the 
refuse  must  be  dumped  somewhere.  Since 
we  cannot  utilize  it  or  destroy  it  on  the 
land,  it  follows  that  we  must  carry  it  to  sea. 
And  as  we  have  the  authority  of  an  emi- 
nent seaman  that  an  iron-clad  fleet  is  neces- 
sarj-  for  the  safe  disposition  of  the  garbage, 
we  may  as  well  make  up  our  minds  to  submit 
to  the  inevitable  waste  of  money  and  of 
matter  out  of  place. 


ATLANTA  RATS. 
It  has  been  mentioned,  perhaps  even  more 
than  once,  that  we  never  fully  appreciate 
our  blessings  until  after  they  have  vanished. 
Many  a  man,  who  never  noticed  anything 
remarkable  about  his  -wife  while  she  was 
living,  has  felt,  after  she  was  dead  and  buried 
and  her  relations  had  ceased  to  visit  them, 
that  on  the  whole  she  was  an  estimable 
woman.  The  Western  statesmen  who  now 
weep  over  the  vanished  silver  dollar  of  our 
forefathers  never  cared  anvthing  about  it 
while  it  was  yet  a  recognized  part  of  our 
currency;  and  the  people  of  Atlanta  never 
knew  how  dearly  they  loved  theii-  original 
rats  until  those  excellent  beasts  ha^l  been 
extirpated.  In  fact,  the  Atlantese  were  ac- 
customed to  poison  them  and  to  instigate 
cats  and  terriers  to  assassinate  them.  Now, 
however,  they  ff(\  about  mourning  for  the 
rat  of  their  I'athei-s,  antl  refuse  to  be  com- 
forted unless  he  is  resurrected  and  made 
plentiful,  both  in  the  cabin  of  the  poor  man 
and  the  alleg<^d  pala<'e  of  the  rich. 

The  original  .\tlanta  rat  was  a  small  and 
timid  beast,  who  confmed  himself  to  the 
simple  pleasures  of  the  corn-bin  and  the 
store-room.  Ho  was  rarely  seen,  especially 
by  daylight,  and  was  unquestionably  modest 
aud  retiring  in  his  disposition.  Even  when 
he  appeared  in  force  and  passed  in  a  vast 
procession  before  the  eyes  of  the  local 
statesman  after  a  long  and  thirsty  political 
campaign,  he  was  not  regarded  as  an  object 
of  terror.  Of  course  he  was  called  a  uui- 
s,ance,  and  it  was  held  to  be  a  worthy  act  to 
Rapture  and  kill  him  ;  but  while  he  could 
not  be  said  to  be  a  popiilar  beast,  he  did  not 
fire  the  Atlanta  heart  with  rage  to  any  great 
extent. 

At  the  coming  of  Sherman's  Army  the  rat 
of  Atlanta  felt  called  upon,  as  a  proud  and 
patriotic  beast,  to  withdraw  with  dignity 
from  the  presence  of  the  invader.  In  this 
resolution  he  was  materially  aided  by  the 
efforts  of  a  horde  of  vandal  rats  who  accom- 
panied the  Union  Army,  and  promptly  de- 
voured the  Atlanta  rat.  The  new-comers 
were  of  the  stalwart  breed  that  flourishes  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the  New- York  docks. 
In  size  each  Northern  rat  was  fully  equal  to 
two  of  his  Southern  rivals,  and  there  was 
not  the  slightest  particle  of  chivalry  in  his 
nature.  Having  driven  out  his  predecessor, 
this  large  and  objectionable  rat  now  inhab- 
its every  rat-hole  in  Atlanta,  and  his  coarse 
and  violent  maimers  have  so  exasperated 
the  public  against  him  that  there  is  a  uni- 
versal demand  for  his  abolition  and  for  the 
restoration  of  the  original  rat  of  the  Atlanta 
fathers. 

We  all  know  of  what  our  oivn  private 
New-York  rats  are  capable,  but  there  is 
reason  to  believe  that  the  demoralizing  in- 
fluences of  army  life  and  the  stimulating 
effects  of  a  hot  climate  have  developed  in 
Atlanta  a  far  more  efficient  beast.  It  is 
said  to  be  the  custom  of  the  present  style 
of  Atlanta  rat  to  break  open  a  chicken- 
coop  in  broad  daylight,  and  to  carry  off  the 
laigest  and  fattest;  hen  in  spite  of  her  loud- 
est protests.  A  whole  brood  of  chickens 
merely   tnriiiBhea     a   lifbt  sapper  for  a 


health/  rat,  while  small  terrier  dogs  and 
tmdersized  cats  are  regarded  in  rodent^ir- 
eles  solely  in  the  light  of  readily  availftBle 
food.  It  may  not  be  true,  as  alleged  by  the 
colored  ministers  of  the  city,  that  the  rat 
is  constantly  in  the  habit  of  stealing  full- 
grown  pigs,  and  of  carrying  off  the  entire 
contents  of  smoke-houses,  but  when  we 
remember  the  depraved  character  of  the 
rat  it  seems  quite  possible  that  he  may  com- 
mit these  crimes  solely  in  order  that  esti- 
mable colored  men  may  be  suspected  of 
them,  and  thus  placed  under  the  necessity 
of  calling  for  troops.  There  is,  however,  no 
doubt  that  the  Atlanta  rat  is  wonderfully 
bold  and  wicked,  and  that  te  enters  kitchens 
and  dining-rooms  at  all  hours  to  the  unutter- 
able horror  of  the  female  population,  the 
greater  part  of  which  passes  its  time  in 
standing  on  chairs  and  tables,  shrieking 
loudly,  and  constantly  wrapping  its  skirts 
more  and  more  closely  about  timorous  and 
despairing  ankles.  As  for  the  men,  their 
hatred  of*  the  new  rat  is  intense.  It  is 
claimed  that  when  the  Atlanta  statesman  is 
compelled  by  force  of  circumstances  to  be- 
come a  spectator  of  a  spiritual  circus,  he  is 
instantly  set  upon  flHPilUons  of  imaginary 
rats,  who  incessantly  devour  him,  and 
scarcely  leave  room  for  the  attending  ser- 
pents to  coil  around  his  legs.  Of  course  it 
is  conceded  that  the  adulteration  of  whisky 
may  be  in  part  responsible  for  this  state  of 
things,  but  the  rats  which  appear  to  the  too 
hard-working  statesman  are  precisely  like 
those  which  entered  Atlanta  with  Sherman's 
Army,  and  hence  it  is  only  natural  that  the 
latter  should  be  the  objects  of  peculiar 
hatred. 

In  the  light  of  these  melancholy  facts,  the 
Atlanta  press  demands  with  one  voice  the 
return — or.  to  put  it  more  elegantly— the  re- 
rodentization  of  the  rat  of  earlier  aud  hap- 
pier times.  That  this  is  desirable  may, 
perliaps.  be  conceded,  but  there  will  proba- 
bly be  some  difficulty  in  aeeomplisiiing  it. 
It  is  all  very  well  for  the  Atlanta  people  to 
insist  that  the  Town  Council  should  pass  a 
law  declaring  that  the  small  and  obsolete 
rat  of  the  period  prior  to  the  war  is  in  all 
respects  as  large  as  the  imported  rat,  and  is 
hereafter  to  be  the  exclusive  and  only  rat 
of  Atlanta.  Such  a  law  could  be  readily 
passed,  but  it  would  not  alter  the  fact  that 
the  imported  rat  would  instantly  kill  any 
aboriginal  rat  that  might  make  its  appear- 
ance, and  would  thus  totally  pre'v'ent  it 
from  circulating  in  the  partitions  and  floors 
of  Atlanta  houses.  The  relative  size  of 
gray  and  black  rats  cannot  be  changed  by 
an  act  of  any  legislative  body  whatever. 
Moreover,  what  the  Atlanta  people  really 
ueed  is  not  the  black  rat  of  their  fathers, 
but  the  abolition  of  all  rats,  and  the  substi- 
tution of  some  innocuous  and  useful  animal. 
The  more  they  clamor  for  the  rat  of  their 
fathers  the  more  they  show  their  inability 
to  deal  with  the  great  zoological  question 
of  the  day.  Undoubtedly  the  '  earlier  rat 
was  better  than  the  later  rat,  but,  if  Atlanta 
were  an  enlightened  community,  it  would 
bend  its  efforts  to  ridding  itself  of  all  kinds 
of  rats,. and  of  resuming  at  the  earliest  pos- 
sible day  the  now  vanished  terriers  aud  cats 
that  once  made  its  streets  vocal  and  mid- 
night fences  musical.

his  brother  Robert  was  kili<-d  to  preveuc 
his  giviiig  testimouy  iu  the  Coutource  ca.«e. 
-Anyone  familiar  witli  iiie  preliminary  trial  of 
this  case  t>el'ure  Kecor-ler  Ho:iyht<in  in  (let.,  ' 
1870.  will  remember  that  Peter  Bradley.  w"u> 
then,  as  now.  wa-^  considered  partifiJIy  insane, 
endeavored  to  prove  the  same  thiue:.  and 
it  was  shown  that  no  such  cau--*e  existed. 
Peter  Bradley  was  by  his  brothers,  blames 
and  .^nsrustus,  probably  cheated  out  of 
some  portion,  due  all  three,  of  the  <iov^ 
en^meiit  reward  iu  the  Coutoun^  or 
some  other  cause.  But  'Rol>ert  Bradley  wa* 
killed  in  a  row  in  a  grocery  brought  onjby  him- 
self. When  drunk,  be  was  a  riolcnt.  dangerous 
man.  He  was  a  Kepublican  ciin-.iidate  for  Con- 
stable for  the  First  Justice  Court  at  the  time, 
and  meeting  some  Democrats  one  night  pro- 
voked a  discussion,  and  one.  fearina  for  his 
life,  stabbed  and  kil'ed^im.  The  charts  Peter 
Bradley  has  been  jndu\--ed  to  swear  toj  are  put 
together  by  several  asjii:  ants  for  positl>>ns  heiv. 
One  iu  particular  will  proliably  be  brou«rht  mora 
prominently  before  the  public  by  the  proceed- 
ings sub.sequent  to  the  arrest  of  Bradley.  He 
has  existed  by  black-mailing  for  som'e  two 
ye;u-s.  his  support  haWug  been  derived  princi- 
pally from  one  prominent  politidan.  He  has 
made  many  attempts  on  Herwig.  often  sijrning 
his  name  "to  his  letters,  but  generally  without 
success. ' 

The  mercantile  public,  Carondelet-street^par- 
ticularly,  take  little  ititerest  in  this  maUer.  Xo 
complaints  have  been  heard  from  them  sine* 
Mr.  King's  accession,  .\mong  his  removals 
were  several  Incompetent  officials,  and  the  in- 
tention of  the  present  principal  deputies,  Cham- 
ploin.  Coupland,  Touilinson,  and  others,  is 
recognized  as  a  part  of  Mr.  King's  policy  To 
have  none  but  competent  men.  and  his  Course  is 
generally  approved  by  both  parties,  always  ex- 
cepting the  aspirants  for  positiim.

HIU — THE  ALLEGATIONS  MADE  BY  A  DIS- 
REPUTABLE OFFICE  BROKER. 

Speaal  Ditpatch  to  the  Xe»-Yf>^k  Timet. 
Washington,  Aug.  13. — Even  Secretary 
Schiirz's  repatation  as  a  civil  service  reformer. 
and  hi3  character  as  an  honest  man,  cannot  re- 
lieve the  investigation  that  id  now  going  on  in 
the  Indian  Bureau  under  his  direction  of  its — 
to  say  the  least — unusual  features-  Be- 
tween nine  and  ten  weeks  ago  Laz- 
axus  Silverman,  a  disreputable  office  broker 
c»f  this  city,  the  same  man  who  made  the  charges 
against  Collector  Freeland,  of  Brooklyn,  filed 
sharges  against  Mr,  Galpin,  Chief  Clerk  of  the 
Indian  Bureau.  It  is  said  that  before  he  took^ 
them  to  Secretary  Schurz  he  tried  to  black-mail 
Galpin.  Galpin  declines  to  say  whether  this  Is 
true  or  not,-but  merely  explains  that  if  he  is  al- 
lowed to  put  in  a  defense  ho  will  expose  Silver- 
man's motive.  The  charges  were  given  origin- 
ally too  Commissioner  Smith.  He  pronounced 
them  to  frivolous  to  be  noticed.  Then  they  were 
taken  to  Secretary  Schurz,  who  ordered  an  in- 
vestigatiou.aiid  deputed  Mr.  Lockwood.  his  Chief 
Clerk  -to  represent  the  Interior  Department, 
and  asked  the  Attorney-General  to  detail  Mr. 
MeGanimon.  a  clerk  in  his  department,  and  Sec- 
retary McCrary  to  detail  Lieut.  Bradley,  of  the 
Army,  to  assist.  Why  the.se  two  men  were  se- 
lected is  not  exi>lained.  They  have  been  sittins? 
now  in  sUxr  tlianiber  session  for  nearly  10 
weeks,  have  examined  hundreds  of  witnesses 
who  have  been  brought  here  from  all  parts  of 
the  country,  nud  bav^;  taken  over  1,000  printed 
pages  of  evidence.  But  durifig  all  this  Chief 
Clerk  Galpin.  who  is  being  investigated,  has 
not  been  iiUowed  to  be  present  during  the 
sxamination  of  a  single  witness,  nor  has  he 
been  peruiitttd  to  cross-examine  auy.  When  he 
has  asked  this  privilege,  Secretary  Schurz  has 
told  him  that  wheu  the  evidence  against  him  is 
all  in  he  can  see  it,  and  will   then  be  allowed  to 

make  as  full  a  defense  as  he  chooses.  But  the 
wiTnL-sse>«  who  have  been  calltd  here  from  the 
Territories  in  the  far  West  have  been  exam- 
ined ami  sent  home,  and  it  is  not  prob- 
able That  the  Government  will  pay  their 
expenses  ba**k  here  again  for  the  pur- 
pose t>f  a  rro=is-exaraiuation.  Mr.  Galpin 
knows  only  through  Silverman  the  offenses  with 
which  he  is  charged.  Secretary  Schurz  has 
been  applied  to  repeatedly,  since  the  investiga- 
tion began,  to  allow  tb*  newspapers  to  be  repre- 
sente<l.  but  he  has  persistently  declined,  and  has 
requested  that  public  opinion  be  suspended  until 
the  iDvestiiration  is  complete.  It  is  now  an- 
nounced ihut  the  completion  is  nearly  reached, 
ind  Mr.  (inlpin  has  again  asked  that  some  of 
the  witnesses  be  detained  until  he  can  cross- 
examine  thein.  but  his  re<iuest  has  been  ignored, 
\niX  the  witnesses  sent  home. 


THE  FISffERIl:S  COMMISSWy. 
OPENING  OF  ITS  SESSION  AT     HALIFAX— THE 
CLAIMS     OF    THE     BRITISH    AND   UNITED 
STATES     GOVERNMENTS — LARGE     INTER- 
ESTS   IN*%-OLVED. 

"WASHl-NtiTON.  Aup  13.— The  State  De- 
partment is  in  receipt  of  dispatches  announcing 
th^  openiui?  of  the  sessions  of  the  Fish- 
eries Commission  at  Halifax.  The  British 
case,  the  counter  case  of  the  United 
States,  and  the  British  reply  have  been 
duJy  tiled,  a^  the  examination  of  wit- 
ntjsses  has  commenced.  The  commission  was 
created  bv  article  22  of  the  Treaty  of  Washing- 
ton, to  dii'iJe  whether  auy  and  what  compensa- 
tion should  b»»  allowed  Great  Britain  for  the 
alleged  superiority  in  value  of  the  advantages 
conferred  by  the  British  concessions  upon  citi- 
zens of  the  United  States  over  the  advantages 
conferred  by  the  United  States  concessions 
upon  the  subjects  of  her  Britannic  Majesty  by 
the  treaty  of  1>>71-:  and  Tt  seems  to  bo  con- 
ceded equally  by  the  two  Governments  that  the 
award  must  be  a  unanimous  ^ding  of  the 
three  Commissioners. 

The  case  as  made  by  Great  Britain  claims, 
first,  that  the  differences  between  the  conces- 
sions of  the  old  convention  of  ISl?*  and  the 
privileges  uonferred  by  the  treaty  of  lb71  are 
the  subjects  of  compensation ;  second,  that 
these  are  the  rii;ht  to  enter  the  great  bays,  like 
those  of  Fundy  and  Chaleur,  within  the  lines, 
drawn,  for  the  ptirpose  of  fishing,  the  right  of 
fishing  within  the  three-mile  limit  from  shore, 
the  use  of  the  coast  for  the  purpose  of  drying 
apd  curing  fish,  the  privilege  of  trafl^c  for 
bait,  sui)plies,  ifcc,  in  the  Dominion 
nnd  Newfoundland  porta,  and  the  right 
of  transshipment  of  fish  from  the  same; 
third,  tiiat  the  mackerel  fishery  is  of  enormous 
value,  almost  entirely  confined  within  the  three 
mile  liniit,and  absolutely  necessaiy  to  the  Unit<-d 
kjiates  as  a  supply  of  food,  and  the  largest  ele- 
ment of  their  fishing  trade,  and  that,  if  retained 
exclusively  by  British  subjects,  it  would  givea  val- 
uable monopoly  and  the  couunand  of  the  Ameri- 
can market,  even  with  a  heav>'  duty.  Valuing 
these  claims  according  to  certain  British  offi- 
cial returns,  and  the  testimony  of  the  Dominion 
and  Newfoundland  fishermen  engaged  in  that 
business,  the  British  government  demands 
*14.:iMO.0OO  for  the  12  years'  lease  of  the  ad- 
vantages which  the  treaty  olfers  to  the  citizens 
of  the  United  States,  which  estimate  is  the 
allegt^d  sur^flus  value  of  the  British  concessions 
over  and  above  the  advantages  which  are  given 
by  the  United  States  to  the  British  Government 
in  opening  the  American  inshore  fisheries  to 
The  subjects  of  her  Britannic  Majesty,  and  mak- 
iuif  fish  and  fish-oil  free  of  duty. 

The  American  counter  case  is  :  First,  that 
the  difference  between  the  treaties  of  IHIH  and 
1871  is  neither  in  fact  nor  by  diplomatic  con- 
struction the  just  measure  of  the  relative  ad- 
vantages by  either  G6vemment  under  the 
treaty  of  1871.  Second,  that  as  to  the  advan- 
tages', alleged  by  the  British  case  to  be  the  grant 
of  the  treaty  of  l^^T  1.  the  right  to  enter  within 
the  headlands  of  such  bays  as  those  of  Fundy 
and  Chaleur  was  never  surrendered  by  the 
treatj-  of  Isl-S.  was  never  claimed  so  as  to  be 
practically  iuforctd  by  the  British  Government, 
and  will  always  be  maintained  -by  the  United 
i?tates  (iovemment  as  an  inalienable  right ; 
that  the  right  of  traffic  for  supplies  and  the 
right  of  trausshiiiment  were  not  conferred  by 
the  treaty  of  l-s  / 1.  and  are  now  only  exercised 
permissively  and  subject  to  revocation  bythe  le- 
gislation of  the  Dominion,  but  that,  even 
if  granted  by  the  treaty  of  1871,  it  is  simply 
a  reciprocity-  in  trade  which  benefits  both  buyer 
and  seller,  and  cannot  be  supplemented  by  a 
money  equivalent  on  either  side,  and  conso- 
ijuenllv,  that  the  value  of  the  inshore  fishery, 
with  the  increased  faciliti€js  in  the  use  of  the 
coasts  for  drying  and  curing,  are  the  only  sub- 
jects of  compensation  to  be  considered.  Third, 
that  the  value  of  the  mackerel  fishery  is  largely 
derived  from  their  own  shore  fisheries  and  ^  the 
deep  sea  fishing-,  and  that  the  proportion  of 
the  mackerel  catch  derived  from  the  inshore 
fisl^eries  oi»ened  to  citizens  of  the  United  States 
by  the  treiity  of  1)S71  is  small  ;  that  statistics 
of  trade.prove  that  the  American  market  could 
not  be  controlled  by  the  British  fisheries,  even 
without  ctimpetition.  Fourth,  that  the  freedom 
of  the  United  States  inshore  fisheries,  the  use 
of  the  Menhaden  fishery,  which  furnishes  the 
necessary  bait  for  the  macUerel  fishery,  and 
which  is  exclusively  within  American  limits, 
and  the  freedom  of  entry  into  American  ports 
of  fish  and  flsh-oil,  furnish  ample  and  suffi- 
cient equivalent  for  any  and  all  advantages  de- 
rived from  the  treaty  of  lb71  by  citizens  of  the 
United  States. 

It  is  supposed  that  all  the  time  allowed  for 
taking  testimony  will  be  fully  occupied.  Since 
the  opening  of  the  session  the  Dominion  press 
seems  to  be  a  good  deal  excited  over  the  p^p- 
cee«lini'S,  and  the  subject  is  attracting  there  a 
general  and;  miurked  interest.  The  proceedings 
^^o  far  h»ve  l>©en  with  closed  doors,  and,  it  is  un- 
derstood, will  so  continue;  but  it  is  believed  that, 
as  all  the  formal  papers  are  now  filed,,  the  case 
anil  counter  case  will  b©  given  to  the  public  bv 
Itolh  Governments,  so  that  the  people  may  intel- 
ligently understand  the  gnve  questions  and 
birge  inteiMsts  at  stalce.

STRINGENT  MEASITRES  ADOPTED  TO  PREVENT 
ITS  SPREAD — THE  DISEASE  ON  THE  IN- 
CREASE IN  LONDON. 

Washington,  Aug.  13. — Information  has 
been  received  from  the  Vice-ConsuI-General  at 
London  that  the  Cattie  Plague  Committee  of 
the  House  of  Commons  have  agreed  in  their  re- 
port to  recommend : 

J\'rrt— That  all  importations  from  Germany,  Bus- 
sia,  and  Beleitun  shonld  be/absolutely  prohibited. 

5econd— That  cattle  imported  from  all  other  coun- 
tries should  be  killed  at  the  place  of  landing. 

rftird— That  the  stock  in  the  Metropofitan  markets 
should  not  be  removed  except  for  slaoghter. 

J'ourtA— That  all  movements  of  cattle  in  Infected 
districts  be  prohibited;  that  fairs  and  markets  bo 
stopxied ;  that  infected  farms  be  subjected  to  quaran- 
tine. 

JXftA— That  hereafter  the  compensation  for  pleoro 
pneumonia  be  the  name  as  for  the  cattle  plague. 

Sixth — That  all  cattie  aheds  in  towns  be  subjected 
to  registration  and  inspection. 

K*>twith  standing    these    stringent  measores,  the 

tease  is  on  the  increase  in  London  and  environs. 
_  _  infectious  is  the  disease  that  it  is  dangerous  for 
cattle  to  pass  infected  districts  or  to  breathe  the  air 
"  ay  or  straw  from  those  districts,  or  to  drink 
wat^s^irom  pools  or  fords  where  diseased  cattle  have 
strayedx  Sueep  may  convey  by  their  wool  the 
disease,  liad  wool  from  foreign  countries  should  b© 
carefully  kebt^^rom  contact  with  anything  likely  to 
carry  the  mseaSfex^hen  imported  from  countries 
where  the  disease  exists.  Hoofs,  horns,  &c.,  and 
the  clothing  of  men  employed  to  slaughter  diseased 
cattle  will  also  convey  the  infection.  Too  much 
caution  cannot  be  used  to  prevent  the  appearance  of 
the  dreaded  disease  in  the  United  States.

Portland,  Me.,  Aur.  13. — The  promise 
of  a  lively  time  at  the  Maine  Democratic  State 
Convention  is  excellent.  The  bones  of  conten- 
tion are  the  liqnor  license  question  and  the  can- 
didate. J.  C.  Talbot.  la.st  year's  candidate,  is 
at  the  Preljle  House,  button-holing  delegates  to- 
night, wlio  are  present  in  large  numbers, 
and  insi-sts  that  he  is  sure  to  capture  the 
convention,  though  many  of  the  lead- 
ers are  against  him,  and  there  are 
half  a  dozen  candidates  with  claims.  The  ma- 
jority of  the  State  Committee  are  opposed  to 
bringing  the  Ucense  question  into  the  platform, 
but  if  it  is  not  the  Bangor  delegation  declare 
their  intention  to  propose  a  plank  from  the 
tluor,  and  to  impel  a  discussion.  This 
troubles  many,  who  are  <oing  about  sayin:; 
that  a  stand  on  the  temperance  questiuu 
now  will  lose  at  least  20.000  votes  to  the 
party.  One  thing  is  regarded  as  certain,  the 
PreMdent's  Southern  policy  will  be  indorsed. 
The  intention  of  thLs  action  is  to  attract  some 
of  the  di.saffected  voters,  but  in  this 
they  will  not  succeed.  A  circular  is  already 
out  for  a  mass  convention  at  Augusta,  in  Sep- 
tember, of  those  Republicans  supporting  the 
President  and  opposed  to  the  further  domina- 
tion of  Blaine,  and  as  this  convention  will  in- 
dorse Connor  the  Republicans  will  be  held  to- 
gether.

All  articles  marked  with  a  star  are  on  the  free 
list  this  year,  though  not  last.  It  will  be  seen 
that  the  tonnage  going  both  East  and  West  has 
increased  122,321  tons  during  the  month.  For 
the  season  the  increase  has  been  166,035,  upon 
an  aggregate  for  the  same  time  of  1,703,835 
last  year.  The  decrease  in  tolls  up  to  the  end 
of  July  was  $236,810  49,  upon  ah  aggregate 
last  year  of  $562,758  4.5,  almost  50  per  cent. 
With  the  season  nearly  half  over,  it  is  easy  to 
he  seen  that  with  the  present  tonnage  doubled, 
the  required  ^?eceipt  of  $1,200  estimated  to 
meet  the  constitutional  requirement,  cannot  be 
reached.  ^

A  ROMANCE  OF  WEDDED  LIFE. 

ELOPEMENT  OP  A  TOTTNO  WIPE  WITH  A  RE- 
JECTED SUITOR — HER  LIFE  DORINQ  THE 
TEN  SUBSEQUENT  YEARS — THE  PROVI- 
SlpNS  OP  HER  FATHER'S  WILL — HOW 
skE  CAME  TO  BE  REUARBIEB  TO  HER 
ECSBAND. 

Frvm  Owr'Ocrk  G>rTetponde«i, 
E[LMIBA,  N.  Y.,  Monday,  Ane.  13,  1877. 
following  strange  story  is  told  by  two 
principal  actors  in  it,  who  have  since 
Wednesday  last  been  visiting  relatives  in  this 
city,  the  occasion  being  their  second  bridiJ  tour 
together.  Amzi  S.  Tiner,  10  years  ago,  at  23 
years  of  age,  was  a  miUer  and  a  leading  man  in 
one  of  the  Pennsylvania  counties  bordering  on 
Maryland.  Uri  Gates,  an  elderly  widower,  was 
a  well-to-do  country  merchant  of  the  same 
community.  His  household  consisted  only 
of  himself  and  his  daughter,  Eliza, 
aged  17 — a  handsome  and  accomplished 
young  lady,  as  accomplishments  go  in  quiet 
rural  "vicinages.  Amzi  Tiner  had  loved  the 
storekeeper's  pretty  daughter  before  she  en- 
tered her  teens.  Old  Mr.  Gates  was  pleased 
with  the  prospect  of  his  daughter  becoming  the 
wife  of  the  prosperous  young  miller,  but  she 
was  not.  George  Mills,  a  handsome,  swarthy 
young  Virginian,  a  clerk  in  Gates'  store,  was 
the  suitor  whom  Miss  Gates  favored,  and  he 
pressed  it  with  no  little  warmth  and  audacity. 
The  father  put  a  stop  to  the  attentions  of  the 
clerk,  |faowever,  and  brought  such  influences  to 
bear  oin  the  young  and  motherless  girl  that  she 
consented  to  marry  the  miller.  They  were  mar- 
ried in  September,  1867,  and  were  gone  three 
weeks  on  their  bridal  tour. 

In  the  early  part  of  October  of  the  same  year, 
Mrs.  Tiner  went  to  visit  a  sick  friend  in  a 
neighboring,  village.  George  Mills,  the  clerk  in 
Gates^  store,  was  missing  from  the  village  tlie 
next  day.  Suspicion  was  not  aroused,  however, 
that  pis  disappearance  was  in  any  way  con- 
nected with  the  departure  of  Mrs.  Tiner  until 
the  time  set  for  her  return  had  passed.  Then  it  was 
discovered  that  she  had  not  been  to  see  her  sick 
friend  at  all.  She  and  Mills  were  traced 
together  as  far  as  Wheeling,  and  there  the  trail 
was  lost.  Not  until  a  few  weeks  ago. was  any- 
thing ever  heani  of  either  of  the  runaways  by 
those;  whom  they  have  deserted.  Old  Mr. 
Gates!  assumed  outwardly  a  most  vindictive 
spirit  against  his  unfortunate  daughter,  but 
when  his  will  was  read  in  1S70.  a  few 
days  after  his  death,  it  was  seen  'that 
he  still  ba<l  hope  that  she  might  be  re- 
claimed, and  that  he  had  pro\-ided  for 
such  I  an  event  He  was  worth  $20,000, 
and  he  left  the  amount  to  his  son-in-law  under 
the  following  conditions  :  For  two  years  after 
the  d^ath  of  the  testator  Tiner  was  to  make  fre- 
quenlj  efforts  to  find  out  whether  the  missing 
wife  and  daughter  was  still  alive.  The  sum  of 
$1,000  was  set  apart  to  bo  expended  in  these 
efforts.  If  she  were  found  alive,  and  separate 
from  George  Mills,  in  destitute  or  comfortable 
circumstances,  she  was  to  be  paid  $700  in 
weekly  installments  for  one  year  by  the  Execu- 
of  the  estate.  \V'hence  the  money 
she  was  not  to  know.  If 
the  year  was  up  she  vol- 
untarily returned  to  her  native  place 
and  humblv  begged  her  husband  to  forgive  her. 
she  Was  to  \ie  fiimlsliwl  with  a  suitable  home 
andbepaid$10  a  week  as  long  as  she  lived. 
If,  at  I  the  end  of  the  year,  she  had  not  thus  re- 
turned, these  payments  to  her,  as  obliga- 
tory upon  the  estate,  mu.st  forever  cease ; 
and  if  at  the  time  tidings  of  her  were  received 
she  wjas  living  with  George  Mills,  or  was  not 
withqut  other  than  female  companionship,  then, 
whether  she  was  destitute  or  not,  the  Executors 
of  the  estate  were  forever  forbidden  to  pay  any- 
thing_to  her  out  of  the  estate.  The  Executors 
werelMr.  "Tiner  and  MjTon  Pool,  a  relative  of 
the  deceased. 

Tiner  carried  out  to  the  letter  the  provision 
of  the  will  calling  for  a  two  years'  search  for 
his  faithless  wife,  but  all  his  efforts  failed.  In 
1W72  he  applied  for  and  was  granted  a  divorce 
from  her  on  the  groxind  of  desertion.  Remar- 
ried again,  and  in  l.S7.~>  he  was  left  a  widower 
with  two  children.  About  a  mouth  ago  Myron 
Pool,  as  Executor  of  Gates'  estate,  was  handed  a 
letter  by  the  village  Postmaster,  addres-sed  to 
the  decea.sed,  and  post-marked  LitchHeld, 
Minn.  It  proved,  to  be  a  letter  from  the 
long  absent  wife  and  daughter,  Eliza.  She 
wanted,  so  she  wrote,  to  return  home  and  be 
forgiven  before  she  died.  She  had  suffered 
terribly  for  her  wicked  act  of  10  years  ago,  but 
she  [said  that  she  was  not  the  abandoned 
creature  that  she  was  no  doubt  believed  to  be. 
She  was  willing  to  return  and  be  nothing  more 
than  a  servant  in  her  father's  house  if  she  could 
be  forgiven.  Mr.  Pool  banded  the  letter  to  Mr. 
Tiner  without  delay,  and  the  latter  gentle- 
man declared  his  intention  to  start  at 
once  for  Litchfield.  Mr.  Pool  ac<^m 
panied  him.  They  found  Eliza  working 
as  a  seamstress  in  Litchfield,  under  her  maiden 
name.  After  the  emotiims  created  by  the  ap- 
pearance of  her  former  husband  ami  the  news 
of  her  father's  death  had  subsided,  she  related 
her  bitter  exi>erience.  her  narrative  was  such 
that  the  deeply-wronged  husband  felt  that  her 
punishment  had  been  ^«^ater  than  her  -".ime. 
Acting  on  this  belief,  lie  was  willing  to  lake 
back  azuin  the  wife  of  his  youth,  and  they  were 
remarried  in  St.  Paul,  Slinn.,  on  the  4th  inst. 

"The  wife's  story  i>f  her  10  years'  stru^rgle 
with  the  world  after  her  unfortunate  step  10 
years  before  is  substantially  as  follows  :  SJie 
and  Mills  had  arranged  to  elope  only  the  daly 
before  they  went  away.  She  was  to  go  to  Indi- 
ana, obtain  a  divorce,  meet  Mills  wherever  he 
might  be  then,  ranrry  him,  and  follow  his  for- 
tunes. At  Wheeling  he  tried  to  induce  her  to 
not  wa.ste  time  in  getting  a  divorce,  but  to  go 
with  him  at  once.  She  refu.sed.  HewenttoSt. 
Louis  and  she  started  direct  for  Indiana.  She 
applit^d  for  a  divorce  at  Lafayette,  through  a 
lawyer  named  Bowditch.  She  hail  not  long 
to  'wait  for  it.  Mills  wrote  hur  from 
C'eutjral  City,  Col.  Sho  went  to  that 
place  at  onco,  met  him,  and  they  were 
married  by  Kev.  Mr.  Whitehead,  an  Episcopal 
minister.  'They  remaine4l  in  Central  Citj-.  a 
year,  living  coutontetily  together.  Mills  pros])er- 
in^;  in  supplying  miners  with  .stores.  Then  h« 
fell  in  with  gnriiblers.  and  wasted  all  his  gains 
and  llost  his  business.  Ho  began  to  trwit  his 
wife  I  with  cruelty,  and  habitually  taunted  her 
withi  her  elopement  with  him.  IVom  Central 
City  they  removed  to  Corinne,  Utah,  and  from 
there  to  Salt  Lake  City.  To  this  latter  pliice  she 
at  first  refu-ied  to  go,  but  Mills  threat- 
ened to  kill  her  unless  she  went  along. 
At  Salt  Lake,  Mills  and  "  Bill "  Olncy  opened  a 
gambling-house  and  house  of  prostitution.  In 
the  latter  Alills  forced  his  wife  to  act  as  house- 
keeppr.  For  two  years  they  lived  in  Salt  Lake, 
the  wife  being  subjected  to  habitual  beatings 
and  other  cruelty.  At  last  Mills  joined  the  Mor- 
mons and  gave  uji  his  gambling  place  for  a  time. 
He  brought  two  other  wives  in  the  house  within 
three  days.  This  was  the  indiguity  of  ail  others 
that  jthe  woman  who  ha<l  given  up  all  for  Mills 
could  not  brook,  :ind  she  fled  from  his  house 
one  night  in  the  Fail  of  1871.  After 
three  months  of  hardship  and  peril  she  reached 
Denver.  .She  was  waitress  in  a  dining-room 
there  for  18  months.  While  she  w^  there 
Mills  was  shot  and  killed  by  Olney,  his  partner, 
in  Salt  Lake.  Than  she  went  as  waiting-maid 
to  an  English  lady  to  New-Mexico,  returning  to_ 
Denver  in  1 874. .  She  then  started  to  go  home. 
At  St.  Louis  she  was  attacked  with  fever.  She 
used  up  all  her  savings  before  she  recovered. 
Then  she  was  offered  the  position  of  traveling 
companion  to  an  invalid  lady,  who,  with  her 
husband,  was  on  her  way  to  Minnesota.  She 
accepted  it,  and  was  two  years  with 
this  lady,  when  the  latter  died  near  the  head- 
waters of  the  Mississippi.  Again  the  wanderer 
turned  her  face  homeward.  On  her  way  from 
Itasca  Lake  to  Brainerd  Junction  she  was 
robbed  by  her  half-breed  guide  of  all  her  money, 
and  was  compelled  to  walk  30  miles  to  reach 
her  '  destination.  Since  then  she  had  been 
earning  a  living  with  her  needle,  until  the  de- 
sire ito  near  from  her  home  and  know  that  she 
coxild  return  and  be  forgiven  led  her  to  put 
aside  her  pride  and  shame  and  write  the  letter 
which  had  brought  'about  so  unexpected  and 
happy  a  termination  to  her  troubles. 

On  Saturday  evening  last  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tiner 
left  [Elmira  for  Philadelphia,  and  by  this  time 
are  settled  in  the  home  so  ruthlessly  destroyed 
10  years  ago.  They  seemed  as  happy  as  if 
nothing  had  ever  occurred  to  disturb  the  even 
tendr  of  their  lives.

Well,  then,  of  i.  le  $S  34  expenses  for  necessaries 

of  life,  we  find  ;  12  charged  for  rent,  or  nearly  one- 

ole  expenses.    And  this,  be  It  re- 


membered, is  in  N  Bwark,  and  not  in  New- York  where 


In  England  the  rent  amounts  to 


rarely  more  than  <  ne-eightb  of  the  amount  of  wages 


family,  earning  4tl  per  week  pay 


2  shillings  6  i>ei  ee  rent  per  week,  and  the  general 

3  shillings  6  pencf  per  week  dwelling  is  largely  used 
by  families  eamin  ;  30  shillings  a  week,  and  is,  there- 
fore, even  still  m(  re  favorable  in  proportion.  I  find 
from  official  statis  Jcs  that  a' four-roomed  tenement 
in  New-Jersey  wft  ,  in  186061.  in  average.  $4  67 
per  month.  It  ti  lerefore  follows  that  rents  have 
been  infiated,  an  1  this  economical  family  of  Mrs. 
Forrest  Is  mulctec  into  an  additional  expense  of  83 
cents  per  week  foi  rent  alone. 

Now,  the  questi  m  arises,  how  is  it  that  these  rents 
keep  up  in  price  a  id  are  still  some  70  to  80  per  cent, 
higher  than  they  ^  rere  in  1860-61.  when  real  estate 
ib  everywhere  so  innch  depressedT  In  the  first  place 
it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  in  1870  the  very  ten- 
ement that  now  r  *nts  for  $8  per  month  was  rented 
for  ^10  &nd  $11,  and  rents  have  roaUy  fallen  some 
'J5  or  30  per  cvnt.  from  the  highest  point.  Secondly, 
the  cost  of  buUdin  z  tenement -houses,  independent  of 
the  value  of  the  laid,  is  enhanced  in  price  by  the  higher 
cost  of  building  m  iterial,  und  this  is  chargeable  to  the 
tariff.  The  lumb  it  is  taxed  20  per  cent.;  the  bricks 
are  taxed  20 per  c  »nt.:  rooftue tiles  20  per  cent.;  load, 
about  45  per  cent ;  wiudow-giBss,  about  50  per  cent.; 
paint,  about  45  per  cent.;  iron  used,  about  35  to  40 
per  cent.  In  shori .  everything  that  Is  used  in  building 
a  house  Is  taxed,  cot  always  for  revenue,  but  for  home 
protection. 

A  second  cause  <  >f  high  rents  is  to  be  found  In  lo- 
cal taxation.  If  a  hich  tariff  is  a  "  goc."  local  taxa- 
tion is  his  bother  'Magog."  These  two  malformed 
monsters  are  the  jTeat  cause  of  our  national  trouble. 
Any  how.  as  wages  in  1860  were  in  many  Instances 
even  higher  than  ion  or  at  all  events  as  high  as  at 

E resent,  a  family  off  Mrs.  Forrest's  well-regulated 
ousehold  would  omy  have  had  to  pay  $1  17  per 
week  for  rent  ins  ead  of  $2  ;  as  I  said,'  a  saving  of 
83  cents. 

The  next  art!  'le  I  find  that  requires  attention  is 
31^  pounds  of  su^nr,  which  costs  Mrs.  Forrest  40 
cents.  Now.  on  t  lis  sugar  there  is  a  tax  of  about  1 1 
cents.  In  l.HGO-C  1  the  cost  of  good  brown  sugar  was 
8^  cents  apoiand  and  3^  pounds  of  sugar  would 
have  coat  Mrs;  Forrest  about  29  cents,  and,  be  it 
remembered,  '  we  had  a  duty  of  24  per  cent,  on 
sugar  in  1860.  And  there  can  be  no  doubt  that 
with  a  judicious  t  iriff,  which  would  remove  prohibi- 
tory duties  on  n  tJiousand  articles,  the  duty  on  sugar, 
now  in  average  60  per  cent.,  could  be  moaified  to  30 
per  cent.  Mrs.  FcTTestnseit  14  cents  worth  of  common 
soap  per  wtickf- ai  articleon  which  she  pays  a  tax,  not 
toGovemment.  but  to  home  protection — some  40  per 
cent.  In  fact,  if  the  duty  were  removed  or  modified, 
Mrs.  Forrest  ffoul  I  save  4  cents  per  week  on  the 
soap.  The  salt,  pepper,  mustard,  matches,  starch, 
and  blueing,  amounting  to  11  cents  per  week,  is  fully 
taxed  25  jkt  cei  t.  and  the  beer,  costing  37  cents,  is 
taxed  about  12  cmts.  I  therefore  find  that  the 
taxes,  owing  to  tie  tariff  and  local  taxation,  amount 
to  as  follows

THE  XECESSltr  OF  DEFEATJyQ  TAMMANT 

MALL. 

Fr&m  the  Xei'-Tork  Staau  Zeitung,  Atuj.  13. 

(After  citing  igam  some  of  the  reasons  which 
have  induced  it  t<  1  point  out  the  necessity  of  defeating 
Tammany  Hall  a:,  the  next  election,  and  after  quot- 
ing the  WorUl'M  criticism  on  that  position,  the  Stoats 
Zeituttg  refers  to  Gov.  RobinHtm's  veto  of  the  Omni- 
bus bill  for  tl^ie  r  >ductiou  of  salaries  and  other  ex- 
penditures in' thh>  Oty,  and  adds  :] 

In  liis  menijoruiidum  against  tho  Finance  bill  the 
Governor  says  :  'The  reasons  which  caused  me  to 
veto  the  Omiiibu  i  bill  apply  also  lo  this  bill."  His 
other  objections  ;^;ain8t  the  Finance  bill  consisted  of 
vague  pbrtuteij  ;  he  did  not  even  refer  to  the  several 
provisions  of]  the  bill,  and  the  unprejudiced  reader 
uf  the  memoi^dum  is  naturally  led  to  the  inference 
that  it  was  the  wish  and  command  of  Tammany  Hall 
that  prevented  this  bill  from  recet%'ingthe-Qovcrnur's 
sigiiature. 

The  ttovemor  declares  plainly  that  he  cannot  sign 
any  bill  dealiog  witii  New-York  rity  affairs  which  is 
not  stipjwirted  by  a  majority  of  th*'  representatives  of 
our  l.Hty  in  the  Lres^slaturc.  iL  is  uit  estnblislied  fart 
that  thoKu  members  of  the  Asscuibly  and 
of  the  >^euate  who  owe  their  nomination  and 
election  to  Tammany  Hall,  will  refuse  their 
vote^no  matter  what  tht  ir  indtvidnal  inclinations 
and  opinions  may  be— to  any  bill  wJiichils  intended 
to  hrii)g  about    retrenchment   and   ec^ouUmy,  and  to 

grevent  t(*  large  an  increaio  of  the  (..ity's  debt ;  and 
cnce,  our  citizens  cannot  act  otherwise  but  defeat 
the  Tamuiiiuy  candidates,  whoever  they  may  be.  in 
case  they  expect  that  tht;  Ciovemor  shall  sign  bills 
wliicli  are  intended  to  remove  the  evils  under  which 
we  are  sufferine. 

The  IVorW  has  done  Gov.  Robinson  a  poor  ser- 
vice iu  defending  him  without  having  previously  pe- 
rused his  Veto  Me.ssitge  and  memorandum.  Other- 
wise our  contemporary  would  have  x><^rceived  that 
our  asKertlom  iu  supported  by  tlie  Governor's  own 
declaration,  and  wouid  have  saved  him  from  the  un- 
enviable position  of  coDflrmlug  by  his  own  words  the 
correctness  of  our  assertioi». 


Ffo7n  l>er  New-Tork  Repiihlikaner  of  Sxnxday. 
The  Nkw-Yokk  Times  devoted  a  whole  col- 
umn the  other  day  to  the  Germans  In  New- York 
politics,  and  quoted  some  articles  relative  to  that 
subject  from  the  Stoats  Zeitung  and  the  Kepublikaner. 
The  Times  has  always  proved  Itsell  to  be  friendly 
to  the  Germans  when  the  influence  of  the  Tipperary 
r^imo  in  this  Municijiality  was  to  be  destroyed,  and 
we  refer  to  the  noble  bearing  of  The  Tihks  in  the 
Fall  Campaign  of  1871,  wheu  a  German  was  at  the 
head  of  the  Anti-Tammany  ticket.  No  other  Ameri- 
can newspaper  iu  this  country  sways  the  same  iuflu- 
and  potency 'that  Tub  New-York  Tiueh  exercises 
upon  the  Kcpublican  Party,  and  all  German  adopted 
citizens,  witliout  distinction  of  party,  may  congrata- 
ate  themselves  that  they  nave  such  an  influential 
and  highly-esteemed  advocate  as  The  Times,  which 
is  inclined  to  grant  to  the  Germans,  in  acknowledg- 
ment of  th^ir  integrity  and  Independent  manhood, 
a  hearing  as  against  Tammany,  and  its- Tipperary 
henchmen.  We  recognize  in  this  willingness  of  The 
Times  a  guarantee  for  the  possibility  and  probabil- 
ity of  a  firm  and  compact  '*  anti-Kelly,  anti-Tlp- 
perary,  anti-Tammany  movement,"  and  we  are  also 
firmly  convinced  that  the  New- York  Stoats  Zeitttng, 
which  posM-sses  such  a  gigantic  influence  with  the 
German  public  here,  will  heartily  acquiesce  with  The 
Times  in  its  cosmopolitan,  truly  Catholic  programme. 
IHie  question  as  to  how  the  elements  against  the 
shameless  Tammany  oligarchy  may  be  united  In  this 
City  should]  now  form  the  chief  theme  of  discussion 
in  all  and  every  one  of  our  German  City  papers,  in 
order  that,  at  tne  time  of  action,  the  different  forces 
may  have  become  crystallized,  and  that  an  effective 
camp^gn  may  at  once  be  entered  upon.  We  are 
convinced  that,  tn  all  essentials,  every  element 
could  be  nojited  on  a  Municipal  platform  the  comer- 
stone  of  which  shall  be  the  equitable  recognition  of 
the  "  German- Americans  "  as  part  and  parcel  of  the 
communityj  as  is  so  warmly  uiged  by  The  New- 
YoBK  Times.  The  harmonious  co-operation  of 
native  Amdricans  and  German-born  citizens  must 
emancipate  this  City  from  the  galling  yoke  of  Hi- 
bernian Democracy.

BURGURS  AT  ENGLEWOOD. 


HOWMR,  FLOTiySEOUSE  WASROBBED 

THE  COOK  TEIXS  HOW  SHE  WAS  GAGGED  AND 
BOUND — THE  COACHMAN  ALSO  FOUND 
BOUND,  UNDEE  SUSPICIOUS  CIRCUM- 
STANCES— ^A  LARGE  QUANTITY  OP  PROP- 
ERTY STOLEN— NO  TRACE  OP  THE 
THIEVES — THE  COACHMAN  PLACED  UNDER 
ARREST.  "^ 

The  Tillage  of  Englewood,  N.  J.,  was  thrown 
into  great  excitement  on  Sunday  by  the  discovery 
that  a  daring  burglary  had  been  committed  at  the 
residence  of  Mr.  Augustus  Floyd,  on  Floyd-stfeet, 
near  Palisade-avenue.  The  house  stands  about  an 
eighth  of  a  mile  from  the  edge  of  the  Palisades,  in  a 
beautiful,  but  somewhat  lonely  loeaticfn,  the  houses 
standing  at  considerable  distance  from  each 
other  and  being  separated  by  thick  groves. 
Mr.  Floyd  left  his  house  on  Saturday  for  the  Cats- 
kills,  where  his  family  had  been  staying,  and  the 
house  was  left  in  charse  of  Maria  Stephens,  the 
eook,  and  George  Merritt,  the  coachman.  The  only 
story  of  any  value  is  told  by  the  cook,  a  very  intelli- 
gent young  woman,  who  appears  to  have  exercised  a 
good  deal  of  courage  and  presence  of  mind.  She 
went  to  bed  on  Saturday  night  at  about  9  o'clock, 
her  room  being  In  the  attic,  and  very  near  to  that  of 
the  ci>4chman.  Her  history  of  the  night  fb  as  follows : 
"  I  aroused  from  adreaminwhichIthoaghttbehon.se 
was  being  broken  into.  Myfirstthought  wastocallfor 
George,  (the  coachman,)  and  I  sprang  to  the  floor. 
As  I  did  so  the  door  was  burst  open  and  a  man  entered. 
I  screamed  *  O  George  !  O  God  V  loud  enough  to  be 
heard  at  a  distance,  and  was  Immediately  thrown 
back  and  a  coverlet  was  thrown  o;per  my  head.  The 
man  told  me  to  keep  perfectly  still  and  not  attempt 
to  scream.  He  said  that  If  I  made  any  noise  they 
would  ruin  me  and  kill  me,  bu{  if  I  kept  quiet 
I  would  not  be  injured.  I  asked  hiiy 
who  he  was,  and  he  said :  '*  We  are  robbers ;  that  Is 
our  business.'  I  begged  them  to  take  the  coverlet 
away  from  my  mouth,  and  told  them  I  would  not 
scream.  They  then  removed  it,  and  crossed  my 
hands  in  front  of  me.  and  began  to  tie  them  with  a 
cord.  I  complained  that  the  cord  hurt  nie,  and  they 
got  a  towel  and  tied  my  hands  with  that.  They  then 
tied  mv  feet  with  towels  and  a  sheet,  and  told 
me  it  was  necessary  to  tie  my  mouth.  I  begged 
them  to  give  me  some  water,  or  to  let  me  get  it, 
and  told  them  they  could  trust  me,  that  I  wouldn't 
make  any  noise.  They  gave  me  some  water,  and  then 
tied  my  month  with  a  handkerchief.  I  asked  them 
what  time  it  was  and  how  long  they  were  going  to 
stay.  One  of  the  men  that  they  called  Captain  said 
it  was  12  o'clock,  and  they  were  going  to  stay  until 
daylight  and  leave  a  man  to  watch  me  until  6 
o'clock,  and  if  I  attempted  to  escape  ■  he 
would  Idll  me.  Several  times  in  the  nieht 
they  came  in  to  see  if  I  was  quiet.  Once  when  they 
came  in  one  of  them  said  he  wished  they  had  come 
the  night  before  to  have  got  the  $200  that  Floyd 
had  there.  I  told  him  I  wished  they  had  come  when 
he  was  home.  I  heard  them  go  into  George's  room 
more  than  onee,  but  didn't  hear  any  noise  of  scuf- 
fling or  fighting  iu  there-  During  the  night  I  loosened 
one  of  my  liands,  but  slipped  it  iato  the  towel 
again  for  fear  they  might  see  It. '  The  men 
didn't  have  any  light  iu  the  room,  and  I  don  t 
know  how  mauy  there  were.  1  only  saw  two.  About 
daylight  I  heard  the  wagon  drive  off.  but  was  afraid 
to  move,  so  I  lay  still  until  after  sunrise.  Then  I 
got  up  and  dressed  as  quickly  as  I  could.  I  went 
past  the  room  where  George  was.  He  lay  on  the 
floor  as  though  he  was  dead.  I  ran  down  to  the  din- 
ing-room, and  got  out  of  the  window  and  ran  to  Mr. 
Congdon's  house." 

Mr.  H.  L.  Congdon  lives  about  one-eighth  of  a  mile 
from  Mr.  Floyd^  and  is  his  brother  in-law.  Other 
houses  are  nearer,  but  they  are  vacant  for  the  .Sum- 
mer. Mr.  Congdon  hurried  to  the  house,  and  went 
to  the  coachman's  room.  The  cot  in  the  room  was 
lyinc  on  the  floor,  badly  broken,  and  oh  the  mat- 
tress lay  Merriit  with  a  towel  about  his 
mouth.  His  hands  and  feet  were  tied  with  small 
netting  twine,  which  was  also  passed  around  the  mut- 
tresB.  The  cords  were  single,  and  were  not  drawn 
tight.  Mr.  Congdon  cut  the  cords,  and  asked  Merritt 
why  he  did  not  get  up.  The  man  muttered,  "  I 
don't  know,"  and  s^ter  a  moment  he  ruused  up  and 
said.  "  \\1iv,  they  must  have  drugged  me."  Mr. 
Congdon  felt  the  man's  pnl>e.  and  found  it  very  rapid. 
Merritt  says  that  the  men  tied  him,  and  told 
him  to  keep  still,  and  that  he  turned  on  his  side 
and  went  to  sleep  in  about  15  minutes.  He  was 
closely  questioned,  but  notning  further  could  be  got 
out  of  him.  He  sa>"s  he  was  not  threatened,  and 
don"t  know  whether  the  men  were  armed  or  had  a 
litcbt,  or  how  many  there  were  of  them.  He  w«8  ar- 
rested and  locked  up  under  the  belief  that  he  knew 
more  than  he  cared  to  tell. 

Mr.  Congdon  notified  Mr.  William  Jemeson.  Chief 
Marshal  of  the  Euelewood  Protective  Society,  {for- 
merly Inspector  of  Police  In  this  City,)  and  an 
cxaniination  of  the  premises  was  commenced.  No 
clue  could  be  found  as  *o  how  an  entrance  to 
the  bouse  was  gained,  and  none  of  the  windows 
ur  doors  showed  the  lea.st  signs  of 
having  >-6  -n  tampered  with.  Inside  the  house  everj- 
door  had  l)een  opened  and  a  thorough  search  made. 
In  a  hall  t>ed-rooni  closet  on  the  second  floor  the  sil- 
ver and  other  valuables  had  been  placed.  Ht-re  idso 
Were  stored  silver  and  other  articles  belonging  to 
Mr.  Flovd's  brotlier,  J.  G.  Floyd.  The  door  of  this 
clos»t  fiad  been  wrenched  open  aiid  emptied. 
Aside  from  a  large  amount  of  silver,  there 
were  in  the  closet  two  white  lace  shawls, 
lac-e  collar,  cuffs,  and  handkerc-hief.  a  long  .camel's 
hair  shawl,  a  gold  wat<*h  and  chain,  a  watch  with 
green  enamel  case,  set  with  diamonds,  and  a  uumi^er 
of  valuable  articles  of  jewelrj-.  all  of  wldch  were 
takeu  away.  A  silver  sugar-bowl  and  two  large  sil- 
ver goblets  were  left  lying  on  the  floor.  A  number 
of  articles  of  clothing  were  taken  from 
Mr.  Hoyd's  room.  Among'them  were  the  pan- 
tal»>ons  and  vest  of  a  dress  suit.  The  coat 
was  left  IWng  on  the  bed.  Tlie  wine  closet 
had  been  oi>ened.  and  a  con.Hiderabip  quantitv  of 
home-made  wine  api>ears  to  have  Iteen  drunk.  Two 
bottles  of  hquor  stood  on  the  dining-room  table, 
but  very  little  of  the  contents  was  missing.  It  did 
not  appear  that  anything  had  been  brought  by  the 
burglars  with  which  to  work.  An  axe  Ijelonging  to 
Sir.  Floyd  had  Iwen  mied  to  force  the  door,  and  the 
cord  with  whidi  the  cook  and  eoachman  were  tied 
was  also  in  the  house.  The  burglars  broke  into  the 
stable,  and  stole  n  horse  and  phaeton  buggy  and  an 
extra  set  of  harness. 

At  altout  four  o'clock  yestenlay  afternoon  George 
Riewnberg.  constable  of  Union  Township,  drove  up 
to  Mr.  Flovd's  house  with  the  horse  and  bugg>'.  He 
told  Mr.  Flovd.  who  had  returned  home  on  nearing 
of  the  l,urg1ary,  that  at  ulMtnt  7  o'clock  on  Sun- 
day morning  he  saw  a  llttlf  Iwy  with  the  horse  and 
buggy  at  Union  Hill.  The  boy  was  cr^-lng,  and  said 
that  a  man  put  him  in  the  buggy  at  Hobokeu.  and 
told  him  to  drive  to  Union  Hill  as  fast  as  he  could. 
A  somewhat  remarkable  fact  is  that  the  constatde 
let  the  boy  go  witlnmt  even  asking  his  name.  A  man 
named  Chamberlain,  who  sells  papers  in  Enplewooil, 
was  driving  up  the  shore  road  nt  about  5  o  clock  on 
Sunday  monting.  and  when  about  a  mile  below  Weo- 
hawken  Ferry '  he  met  a  man  driving  Mr.  Floyd's 
horse.  The  man  seemed  to  be  young,  but  Cham- 
berlain could  not  describe  him. 

Merritt  is  locked  up  in  the  gaard-hon.se  in  charge 
of  the  EnglewotKl  Protective  Society.  The  reporter 
of  "Thk  T1MK.S  endeavored  to  obtain  an  interview. 
but  it  was  not  thought  wise  to  trrant  it.  Finally,  the 
President  of  the  society,  Mr.  Donald  Msckay. 
took  the  reporter  out  in  front  of  the 
cell,  and  called  the  prisoner.  Merritt  put  his 
face  to  the  iron  grating  and  looked  out. 
He  is  a  slim,  thin-faced,  weak,  and  innoceut-iookinir 
person,  with  black  hair  and  a  mild  voice.  He  is  2.^ 
years  old.  but  looks  much  younger.  Mr.  Mackay 
said  to  the  prisoner  sharply  :  "  I)o  you  recognize  this 
man  t  Is  he  one  ^pf  them  ?"  and  as  he  spoke  ho 
seized  the  reporter  and  turned  him  toward  the  pris- 
oner. Merritt  answered:  "No,  Su-,  I  don't ;  tlie 
fact  is,  I  couldn't  recognize  anybody."  After  the  re- 
porter left,  Merritt  asked  another  member 
of  the  society  who  that  young  fellow 
was,  and  wliether  any  one  hail  ever 
seeu  him  before  or  knew  his  name,  and 
ndu.d;  '■  I  never  saw  lilm  that  I  re(*ollo<Tt."  It  was 
intended  that  the  formal  investigation  should  have 
proceeded  yesterday  aftemiKm,  but  the  Marshals. 
who  are  out  in  everj'  directiou.  had  not  returned,  and 
it  was  adjourned  until  the  latter  part  of  the  week- 
The  reuiiirk  oy  one  of  the  burglars  concerning 
"  Floyd's  ^200  shows  that  they  were  posted,  for  on 
Friday  night  Mr.  Floyd  slept  at  home  with  a  consid- 
erable sum  of  money  for  the  expenses  of  his  trip  to 
the  Catskills. 

Mr  Floyd  is  not  inclined  to  suspect  Merritt,  who 
he  says  is  a  stupid  fellow-  Sierritt  has  been  iu  \\is 
employ  about  two  roonth.s.  is  well  connected,  and 
had  good  recommendations.  Maria  Stepliens  has. 
lived  in  the  family  four  months  only,  but  for  three 
years  before  she  Uved  in  the  village  and  bore  an  ex- 
cellent character.

At  one  of  the  working  men's  meetings  in  Phil- 
adelphia Saturday  night  the  following  letter  from 
Gen.  Butler  was  read : 

Deab  Sib  :  In  answer  to  your  Inquiry  whether  a 
workman  can  be  compelled  to  take  national  bank 
notes  for  his  work,  I  answer  that  no  man  can  be  com- 
pelled to  take  anything  but  the  notes  of  the  Govern- 
ment, commonly  called  greenbacks,  or  fractional  cur- 
rency, or  gold  or  silver  coin  for  anything — the  snudl 
coin  for  very  small  amotmts.  Every  workman  has  a 
right  to  have  this,  as  everybody  else  has,  in  pav.

DEATH  OF  A  CLERGYMAN. 


STARTLING   SCENE     IN  A  DEATH-CHAMBER  IN 
AUGUSTA— A  VISITING    CX^EROTMAN  SUD- 
DENLY EXPIRES. 
FrorA^thA  Augusta  (Go.)  Chronid*,  Aug.  11. 

The  whole  coznmnnity  was  saddened  yester- 
day morning  by  the  news  of  two  deaths  which  oc- 
curred in  the  same  building,  within  a  few  minutes  of 
cachother.  Oneof  these  deaths  was  that  of  Mr.  Charles 
H,  Buckley,  agent  in  this  city  of  the  Southern  Ex- 
press Company,  and  the  other  was  that  of  Bev.  W. 
H.  Clarke,  Rector  of  St,  Paul's  Episcopal  Church. 
Mr.  Buckler  was  ill  for  two  weeks,  with  inflamma- 
tion of  the  boweU.  About  3  o'clock  yesterday  morn- 
ing it  became  apparent  to  tftose  around  his  bed-side 
that  he  bad  but  a  few  minutes  to  live,  and  Mr.  C.  E. 
Dodd,  who  was  in  the  room,  went  at  once  for  Rev. 
W.  H.  Clarke  to  prav  with  the  dyi^g  man.  Mr. 
Clarke  was  in  bed  at  his  resideace,  on  Bay-street, 
when  Mr.  Dodd  rung  the  bell.  Ho  quickly  responded, 
and  upon  Mr.  Dodd  informinz  him  what  his  errand 
was,  said  he  would  be  ready  In  a  few  minutes.  Mr. 
Dodd  hurried  back  to  Mr.  Buckley's,  but  was  in- 
formed that  Mr.  Buckley  had  died  a  few  minutes  before. 
In  a  ver>'  short  time  afterward  Mr.  <?larke  arrived. 
He  read  the  prayers  for  the  dead  and  prayed  ex- 
temporaneously, and  then  endeavored  U'  administer 
consolation  to  the  grief-strickeu  widow  of  Mr.  Buck- 
ley, who  was  in  the  next  room.  As  she  was  very 
much  exhausted,  and  it  seemed  probable  that  she 
would  faint,  Mr.  Clarke  rubbed  her  forehead  with 
some  bay  rum,  holding  the  bottle  in  one  hand. 
Afterward  some  coffee  was  brought  in  for  her,  and 
Mr.  Clarke  took  a  saucer  containing  the  beverage 
and  held  it  for  het  to  drink.  While"  he  was  doing 
this  a  lady  in  the  room  uoticed  that  the  bottle  uf 
bay  rum  tell  from  his  hand.  She  picked  it  up  and 
handed  it  back  again,  but  in  a  few  moments  it  fell 
again.  She  then  noticed  that  Mr.  Clarke  seemed  to 
be  ill  or  faint,  and  at  once  made  him  sit  down.  She 
spoke  to  him,  but  he  made  only  some  inarticulate  re- 
ply. Alarmed,  she  called  several  gentlemen  in  the 
next  room,  and  these  at  once  came  in  and  endeavoreil 
to  arouse  him,  but  in  vain.  Then  they  carried  him 
out  on  the  balcony,  hoping  that  the  ffosh  air  would 
revive  him.  AVhen  out  on  the  balcony  they  bathed 
his  face  with  ice-water  and  pave  him  some  to  drink, 
but  all  in  vain.  Three  physicians  who  had  been  sum- 
moned, soon  arrived,  but  they  were  unable  to  do  any- 
thing. The  patient  was  beyond  humiin  aid.  He  Un- 
eered  in  a  totally  unconscious  state  until  G  o'clock  A. 
M.,  and  then  died.  Soon  after  he  was  stricken,  bis 
daughter — his  (mly  child — ^was  sent  for  and  reached 
him  before  he  passt^d  away.  The  cause  of  Mr. 
Clarke's  death  was  paralysis  of  the  brain. 

Bev.  W.  H.  Clarke  was  a  native  of  Cheshire,  Conn. 
He  was  Invited  to  Augusta  as  Assistant  Redtor  of  St. 
Paul's  Church,  in  1861.    He  accepted  the  invitation, 
and  on  Sunday.  July  26.  in   that  year.  preache4l  his 
first  sermon  in    St.  Paul's  Church.     Doc    24.    18tj2. 
Kev.  E.  E.  Ford,  the   Rector  of  the   chnrch,  died   at 
Woodstock.  Ga..  and    on  Jan.  2.  lsG3.   Mr.    Clarke 
was   elected   Rector.     He  was   the  t\-pe   of   a   true 
Christian,  abounding  in  charity  and  loving  his  fellow 
men.     He  was   universallv  loved,  and  the  announce-   ' 
ment  of  his  untimely  death  was  received  with  heart-  ' 
felt  sorrow  by  the  whole  comm'tnity.     A;^    President 
of  the  Augusta  Ornlian  Asylum   he  greatly  endeared 
himself    to    the    little    ones    who      lisd    found    a  ; 
safe  refuge  within  the  walls  of  that  noble  institution.  I 
Mr.  Clarke  was  58  years  of  ago. 

Mr.  Charles  H.  Buckley,  who  died  about  two  h^nrs  ] 
before  Mr.  Clarke,  was  a  native  of  Stamford.  Conn.. 
and  was  alioat  57  years  of  age.  He  came  to  Georgia 
in  185-i  with  Mr-  Plank,  when  the  express  company 
first  opened  offices  iu  this  State.  He  leaves  a  wife 
and  three  children.

Chicago,  Aug.    18. — The  drought  which 

has  bean  threatening  the  corn  crop  in  .sonic 
parts  of  the  We.st  was  broken  yesterday  and  to- 
day in  many  localities  by  copious  rains.  The 
wheal  crop  is  safe,  but  as  regards  tbo 
com  much  will  depend  upon  the  weather  for  the 
next  two  or  three  week.s.  Kothinj;  but  exce.s- 
sively  dry  weather  or  early  frost  can  di'^appoint 
the  flattering  prospect  of  a  corn  crop  of  unpre- 
cedented projiortions. 


PAXJC  OX  A  COXET  ISLAXD  BOAT. 
As  the  steamer  Arrow:5mith,  of  the  Locust 
Grove  and  Coney  Island  Line,  was  going  down  the 
Bay  yesterday  aftem''>on,  the  clothing  of  a  young 
lady  passenger  on  the  forward  deck  was  discovered 
to  be  on  fire.  A  strong  breeze  fanned  the  flames,  and 
in  an  instant  she  seemed  almost  enveloped  in  a 
blaze.  The  passengers  in  her  immediate  vicinity 
promptly  extfnguislied  the  flames  by  the  applicatiou 
of  coats,  shawls,  and  such  articles  of-<nat}iing  as 
could  be  readily -obtained,  and  the  young  lady  was 
tat:eu  to  a  atate-ronin.  where  she  wns  attended  by  Dr. 
Libenthal,  of  No.  '.Wl  East  Tenth  strt>et,  and  1>t.  L. 
Jewell,  of  No.  3.57  West  Fourtt*euth -street,  who 
were  on  board.  Her  name  wa^  found  to  he  Mif^s  .■\nu 
J.  Tucker,  aged  1 5  years,  of  No.  25ii  Spring-street.  She 
,was  quite  severely  burned,  her  lower  limbs  being 
badly  scorched  and  blistered  their  entire  lenirth,  so 
that  the  «iuter  skin  peeled  off  in  strips.  Theofficers 
of  the  boiil  placed  ail  nossible  conveniences  at  the 
disTwsal  of  the  phvsicians,  and  the  votmc  lady  was 
made  as  comfortable  as  circumstances  woiUd  permit. 
The  accident  happened  nearly  opuosite  Bay  Ridge.  ^ 
Pa.ssengers  at  a  little  distance  from  the  yotmg  i 
woman,  not  knowing  the  nature  of  the  accident,  I 
were  at  first  much  frightened.  An  alarm  of  fire  was  [ 
raised,  and  a  general  imsh  was  made  for  the  stem  of 
the  l»oat.  the  people  in  their  frenzy  running  over 
chairs  and  each  otiier.  Womon  shrieked  and  some  ' 
fanned  and  it  was  several  minutes  before  ord»r 
could  be  restored.  As  far  as  could  be  ascertained 
none  were  seriously  injured  In  the  stampede.  Trie 
fire  is  supposed  to  have  been  caused  by  sparks  from 
a  cicar.  RA  several  persons  were  smoking  on  the  I 
crowded  deck.  The  young  lady  was  fortunately  ac- 
companied by  her  parents,  who  procured  a  convey- 
ance and  took  her  home  when  the  boat  reached 
Twenty-second-street  on  the  return  trip.

JIONDAT,  Aug.    13 — P.  M. 

The  -week  opened  quietly  on  the  Stock 
Ilxobange,  where  specula  tiou  was  alternately 
weak  and  strong  within  a  comparatively  nar- 
row range  of  fluctuations.  The  Western  shares, 
especially  Michigan  Central,  Lake  Shore,  and 
Sorth-westem,  led  the  market  in  point  of  activ- 
ity, the  transactions  in  those  three  specijdties 
amounting  to  nearly  two-thirds  of  the  entire 
day's  business.  The  majority  of  the  railroad 
shares  in  the  early  dealings  re«orded  slightly 
higher  figures  than  those  current  at  the  (dose  on 
Saturday,  but  later  the  improvement  wa»  lost 
in  most  instances.  The  coal  stocks  declined  at 
the  opening,  bat  subsequently  recovered,  al- 
though at  the  close  the  Improvement  was  not 
fully  maintained.  Speculation  In  the  telegraph 
shares  was  quiet,  pending  the  announcement  of 
the  result  of  to-morrow's  meeting  of  the  joint 
committee  of  the  Western  Union  and  Atlantic 
and  Pacific  Companies. 

It  was  ofBeially  stated  this  afternoon  that  the 
Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal  Company  have 
executed^  mortgage  for  910,000,000  upon 
Uieir  property  in  Pennsylvania.  This  mortgage 
(nolndes  and  oovers  $5,000,000  of  the  daben- 
tnxes  of  1894,  In  aeeordanee  with  the  covenant 
contaiBed  in  the  same.  The  balance  wUlbe 
natd  for  the  p«yia*nt  at  inoh  jxm  ot  tb«  1»i>da. 


dne  Noyembo',  1877,  as  may  not  be  renewed  ; 
the  taking  up  of  the  floating  debt,  about  $1,S00- 
000,  and  the  discharge  of  all  fatnre  obligations 
of  the  company  as  they  arise. 

The  failure  of  a  small  broker's  Ann  was  an- 
nounced at  the  Stock  Exchange  to-day,  and 
about  1,000  shares,  chiefly  coal  stocks,  were 
bought  in  under  the  rule  for  .their  account. 

The  total  transactions  reached  122,730  shares,

to  533g.  North-\fe3tem  advanced  to  23% 
for  the  common,  and  to  55%  for  the  pre- 
ferred, but  the  former  subsequently  reacted  to 
23I2,  and  the  latter  to  547g.  Delaware,  liack- 
awanna  and  Western  declined  from  43^4  to 
427g,  rose  to  441^,  and  receded  to  43I4.  West-

to  93. 

The  Money  market  was  without  essential 
change,  call  borrowers  having  supplied  their  re- 
quirements at  II2  to  2  ig  ^  j  cent.  Prime  mer- 
cantile paper  was  in  demand  at  4  to  6  i^  cent.

The  Gold  speculation  was  again  inactive  to- 
day, and  all  the  business  was  at  105 14.  The 
chief  support  to  the  market  of  late  has  been  the 
demand  to  make  settlements  with  the  Treasury 
for  the  new  4  ^?  cent,  loan,  and  the  outstanding 
"short"  interest  Ca.sh  Gold,  after  command- 
ing 1-64  ^  cent,  per  diem  for  use  to-day,  loaned 
flat 

Government  bonds  were  steady  early  in  the 
day,  but  in  the  afternoon  the  dealings  were 
characterized  by  a  firmer  tone,  and  prices  ad- 
vanced ig  ^  cent,  for  some  issues  under  an  in- 
creased demand.  At  the  2  o'clock  call  $170,000 
new  four  per  cents  were  taken  at  105.  Sales 
of  18673  were  made  at  1D9,  and  new  Ss  at 
lOQSgS  10934.  In  railroad  mortgages  the  busi- 
ness footed  up  $136,000.  The  market  continues 
Arm,  and  prices  are  well  maintained.  Chicago 
and  Xorth-westem  consolidated  gold  7s  advanced 
to  89,  Michigan  Central  7s  to  IO4I2,  Albany 
and  Sustjuehunna  .Seconds  to  96,  Union  Pacific 
Sinking  Funds  to  9S,  Toledo  and  Wabash  con-

"WAKDELIi  DENOUNCES  THE  OUTBAQB, 
Officer  John  Buckley,  of  the  Sixteenth  Pre- 
cinct, brought  Felia^ljCarUiy  before  Jnstice  Wan- 
dell  yesterday,  la  Jefferson  Horket  Police  Co«rt,  on 
two  charges — one  of  disorderly  eondnet  and  the 
other  of  resisting  arrest  by  fdlonlonsly  attaetin^  the 
officer  with  a  h&tdiet.  Backley  alleged  that  a  short 
time  after  midni^t  McCarthy  was  riotonsly  singing 
and  ' '  carrying  on  "  at  No.  220  West  Twenty-seventh- 
Btreet,  and  when  he  went  in  to  stop  him  McCarthy 
woold  not  desist,  and  that  when  he  then  attempted  to 
arrest  him  the  prisoner  attacked  him  with  a  hatchet, 
and  cnt  him  on  the  head.  Backley  farther  alleged 
that  he  had  to  clah  the  prisoner  severely  to  get  him 
to  the  station-honse.  McCarthy  presented  the  most 
pitiable  spectacle  seen  in  court  for  a  long  time,  his 
head  and  face  being  covered  with  the  most  horrible 
clab  woiinds.  Justice  Wandell  examined  the 
case  thoroughly,  and  Backley  was  n|iable 
to  snbfttantiate  his  side  of  the  case  by  any 
testimony  but  that  of  one  very  drunken 
witness,  whom  the  Justice  discredited  entirely. 
^Vhen  McCarthy's  side  was  presented,  it  appeared 
that  the  officer  was  guUty  of  an  oatraa;e.    Three  wit- 


I  testified  that  the  prisoner  was  in  his  own 
honso.  enjoying  himself  with  some  friends,  and  was 
not  in  any  way  disturbing  the  peace.  The  officer  had 
no  reason  to  interfere,  and  had  no'  business  to  enter 
the  house  at  all.  ^"hen  he  did  go  in,  he  was  met  in  a 
peareable  way  by  McCarthy.  Buckley  ordered  him 
to  shut  up  ms  house  and  quit  slngiijg.  McCarthy 
refused  to  do  either,  saying  that  he  was 
in  his  own  house,  and  doing  nothing  wrong. 
Buckley  then  told  him  tliat  if-  he  did  not  do  as  he 
wax  ordered  he  would  arrest  him.  McCarthy  refused, 
and  Bupfcley  then  attempted  to  take  the  prisoner 
along,  and  wa.s  reflLatetl-  The  officer  drew  his  club 
and  knocked  McCarthy  down  and  continneiVto  club 
lilm  until  he  wv*  senseless  and  almost  dead.  So 
severe  was  the  beating  that  McCarthy  waS  insensible 
all  the  way  to  the  station-house,  and  after  his  arrival 
there  great  difficulty  was  found  in  restorine  him. 
Vpon  being  satiafled  of  these  facts,  Jnstice  Wandell 
immediately  dL-nnissed  Buckley's  complaint  and  or- 
der^ McCarthy  to  enter  a  complaint  for  aggravated 
Rs.'wnlt  against  the  officer.  This  was  done,  and  the 
policeman  was  put  under  $500  bail  to  appear  at 
rourt.  The  Justice  was  very  severe  on  Buckley,  and 
prtmonnced  his  conduct  a  perfect  outrage,  ana  said 
that  MfCarthy  had  been  acting  decently  and  as  i\ny 
citizen  had  a  fight  to  do.  and  that  it  was  the  height 
of  Indolence  for  Backley  to  enter  the  houHO  at  all  un- 
der the  circumstances.  The  case  caused  great  excite- 
ment in  court. 

DETECTIVE  WOOLSETS  MISTAKE. 

THE  PEISONEB    BUCKINGHAM '  NOT   CHAUNCET 
JOHNSON — ^WHAT  WARDEN  QUINN  SATS  ON 
C^    THE  SUBJECT. 

Detective  Woolsey,  of  the  Central  Office,  who 
on  Friday  evening  last  arrested  T.  Bnckinghain,  now 
conilned  in  the  Tombs  for  uttering  a  forged  check 
for  $5,543  78  on  the  Bank  of  the  State  of  New- 
Vork,  of  this  City,  and  afterward  attempting  to  draw 
$-l,S48  on  the  same,  seems  tobarre  made  a  mistake 
respecting  the  identity  of  his  prisoner.  The  detect- 
ive, after  closely  scrutinizing  the  man,  gave  it  as  his 
opinion  that  the  prisoner  was  none  other  than  the  noto- 
rious sneakthief  and  bank  burglar,  Ch&uncey  Johnson. 
It  is  now  said  that  Johnson  does  not  resemble  the 
prisoner  Buckingham  In  any  respect.  A  Times  re- 
porter, yesterday  afternoon,  in  conversation  with 
Warden  Quinn,  at  his  office  lii  the  Tombs,  was  in- 
formed that  Buckingham  was  a  much  taller  and 
heavier  man  than  Johnson,  the  former  weighing  about 
1 60  pounds,  the  latter  probably  falling  short  of  1 S."*. 
Johnsonis  a  very  sharp-featured  man. w^th  eyesclosely 
set.  whereas  Bockingham  possesses  a  large  open  face, 
with  eyes  .«et  far  apart.  Johnson  is  at  present  a 
gnest  in  Sing  Sing  Prison,  at  which  place  Warden 
Ouinn  .saw  him  about  six  months  ag  ->.  The  Warden 
didn't  know  when  Johnson's  term  would  expire,  but 
he  was  at  present  confined  for  robbing  a  store  in  Pour- 
ti'e  nth -street,  near  "Dniversity-place.  some  year^  ago. 
The  Warden  seemed  to  bo  greatly  aznused  at  I>etec- 
tive  Woolsey's  discomfiture  in  thia-tnsTance,  remark- 
ing that  he  [the  Warden)  didn't  know  anything  about 
Buckingham  having  been  identified  at  Johnson  until 
Monday  morning.  He  was  out  of  town  on  Sunday 
and  didn*t  see  the  morning  newsx>apen,  but  after 
getting  to  his  office  on  Monday  he  heard  about  the 
matter,  and  immediately  visited  Buckingham  in  bis 
cell.  wheh  to  his  complete  surprise  he 
discovered^  that  the  man  was  not  Cbaun- 
cey  Jnhn^n,  whom  he  was  reported  to  be. 
One  thing  abont  Johnson  was  that  whatever  he  did 
he  did  well,  never  allowing  himself  to  fall  back  on 
*■  r>utch  courage"' for  the  xuccessful  undertaking  of 
what  he  had  on  hand.  When  BWkingham  went  into 
the  Bank  of  the  State  of  New-Vork  on  Friday  last  to 
•lepOHit  the  check  he  was  under  the  infinence  of 
lifiuor.  This  fact  alone  oucht  to  have  made  Woolsey 
more  cautious  in  axserting  that  the  criminal  waa 
Johnson,  as  the  latter  would  not  be  likely  to  have 
acted  in  such  a  manner. 

Grave  doubts  are  now  entertained  at  Police  Head- 
fiuarters  as  to  the  correctness  of  Woolsey's  state- 
ment, and  several  of  his  associates  say  emphat- 
i<*allv  that  the  officer  is  entirely  mistaken. 
Wo*»isey  arrested  Johnson  some  years  ago.  and  says 
that  he  is  positive  that  Buckingham  and  Johnson  are 
one  and  the  same  person,  and^hat  Buckingham  did 
not  deny  it  when  in  the 'Tombs  on  Saturday. 
T)etertive8  Radford  and  Keirns,  two  of  the  oldest 
detectives  at  the  Central  Office,  are  both  positive 
that  Buckingham  is  not  .lohnson,  and  that  the  latter 
is  at  lea.st  20  years  older  in  appearance  than  the 
former.     Tlie     dispute  as  to  the    identity  of   the 

iiri.^oner  Buckingham  waa  brought  to  the  notice  of 
.  -ergt.  Kealey,  of  the  detective  force,  by  Acting 
Superintendent  IMlks  yesterday,  and  Sergt.  Kealey 
wrote  to  the  Warden  of  Sing  Sing  Prison  to  ascer- 
tain if  C^auncey  Johnson  was  still  an  inmate  of  that 
institution.  An  answer  to  this  eonununication  will 
doubtless  be  received  to-day. 

THE  COFFER  MARKET 

THE  CENTRAL  AND  ATLANTIC  COMPANIES  UN- 
DERSELLING THEIR  RIVALS  —  ACCUSA- 
TIONS OP  BAD   PAITH    ON  BOTH   SIDES. 

A  conapdcnons  "flurry"  has  been  caused  In 
the  copper  market  recently  hj  the  sudden  action  of 
the  Central  and  Atlantic  Companies  in  selling  a  largo 
portion  of  their  stock  at  prices  ranging  from  19  to 
1 S  39  cents  per -^KJimd.  The  representatives  of  the 
Calumet  and  Hecla  combination,  which  mines  two- 
thirds  of  the  total  amount  of  copper  produced  In 
the  country,  were  taken  entirely  aback  by  this 
Tnove  on  the  p^  ^t  their  opponents,  and 
accusations  of  "^ad  faith,"  "broken  pledges," 
&C.,  hav«  bees-  flying  about  on  all  hands. 
The  Calumtet-Hecla  mines  $re  owned  chiefly  by  Bos- 
ton capitalists,  ^who  have  been  trying  for""j  some 
months  past  to  keep  the  market  up.  in  order  that 
they  mijB^t  be  able  to  dispose  of  their  heavy  over- 
plus at  high  prices.  Up  to  July  1  a  jceneral  agree- 
ment existed  not  to  sell  at  a  lower  price  than  19  L9 
cents,  which  agreement  the  Centi^  and  Atlantic 
faithfoUy  observed.  At  the  expiration  of  that 
I>eriod  a  further  nnderstandlng  was  entered  into 
that  the  market  should  be  kept  up  to  I8I3  cents, 
but  the  Central-Atfcjitic  clique,  finding,  as  they 
claim,  that  the  Boston  people  were  secretly  under- - 
bidding  them,  determined  to  sell  without  further  de- 
lay, and  haveyauring  the  last  few  days  put  upon  the 
market  ovey  1,000. 000  pounds,  at  prices  ranging 
from  19  do*n  to  18^  cents. 

Jlr.  .James  M.  ililla,  of  No.  25  Nassau-street,  who 
represents  the  Central-Atlantic  party,  stated  the  case 
to  a  TiMEsVreporter  yesterday  as  follows :  *'  We 
would  have  ^en  wUling  to  abide  by  the  underrtand- 
iiigof  July  last  to  keep  the  price  up — although  the 
Calumet  people,  who  are  represented  here  byj^.  S. 
Simpkins  and  P.  W.  Heyne.  had  refused  to  give 
their  formal  adherence  to  the  agreement — if  we  had 
not  caught  them  trying-to  push  off  their  surplus  on 
our  customers  at  prices  as  low  as  ISigc  We  could 
not  stand  that,  and  those  gentlemen  failing 
to  give  us  goaranteee  that  they  would  st-and  by  the 
1 S I3  cent  basis,  we  determined  to  get  the  best  price 
we  could  for  our  own  copper  and  let  the  Bostonlans 
trtke  care  of  themselves.  We  accordingly  sold  l.OOO.- 
OtK)  pounds  at  IS^B  to  19  cents,  wad  I  have 
the  contracts  here  to  show  for  it.  We  did  not  sell  it 
because  it  was  hypothecated,  or  because  we  needed 
the  money,  but  because  we  could  no  longer  rely  on 
the  Simpkins  combination,  and  determined  todispofte 
of  oar  goo(ls  at  our  own  prices.  The  trouble  Is  that 
these  Boston  people  want  everything:  they 
want  us  to  refuse  good  offers  m  order  to 
liolster  up  their  declining  interests,  and 
to  hold  on  to  our  copper  in  order  that  they 
may  get  rid  of  their  mor^aged  overplus.  Why.  two 
of  their  companies,  the  Osceola  and  the  Fraz^din. 
haveover  1.000,000  poundsapiecehypothecatedat  17 
cents  on  the  pound.  We  wrote  to  the  Franklin  and 
offered  to  hold  on  if  t*ey  would  make  a  guarantee 
for  the  future,  but  they  failed  to.  and  we  didn't  pro- 
pose to  sacrifice  our  interests  to  theirs  any  longer.  I 
don't  see  any  *  bad  faith  '  in  that,  and  I  think  our 
friends  In  Boston  will  find  some  difficulty  in  per- 
suading the  public  of  iu  eiiatence," 

On  the  other  hand,  the  brokers  representing  the 
Calumet  and  other  companies  say  that  the  recent 
wiles  will  only  affect  the  market  temporarily,  and 
that  the  price  will  touch  19  again  within  a  week. 
The  cause  of  the  whole  trouble  is  the  excess  of  pro- 
duction over  home  consumption.  The  monthly 
product  is  about  3.500,000  pounds,  and  the  con- 
sumption 2,.M)0,000  pounds,  leaving  an  annual  sur- 
plus of  12.000,000  pounds  for  export.  It  Is  the 
disposition  of  this  last  and  the  anxiety  of  the  com- 
pnuies  not  to  be  caught  in  a  falling  market  with  large 
fttocks  which  has  lead  to  the  "rings,"  "combina- 
tions." and  agreements  which  are  only  made  to  be 
brok»*n.  The  price  of  the  metal  yesterday  appeared 
to  be  still  downward  ;  one  broker  offered  100,000 
puxmds  as  low  as  18^  cents.

RIFLE  MATTERS  OF  INTEREST. 

CARBINE  PRACTICE  AT  CREEDUOOR — THE  IN- 
TERNATIONAL RIFLE  MATCH. 

The  several  cavalry  organizations  attached  to 
the  First  Division  were  sent  to  Creedmoor  for  rifle 
practice  by  Major-Gen.  '  Shaler  yesterday.  There 
were  252  men  present,  all  told,  who  were  distributed 
as  follows:  Third  Regiment,  212  men.  Col.  J.  H. 
Budke  commanding ;  Separate  Troop,  12  men, 
Lieut.  Miller  commanding,  and  Washington  Grey 
Troop,  26  men,  under  command  of  Capt. 
Baker.  The  troops  weat  to  the  nmge  by  the  9:03 
train  from  Hunter's  Point,  and  commeneea  shooting 
shortly  before  11  o'clock.  The  ranges  covered  were 
100,  150,  250,  and  300  yards  distance ;  five  shoto 
per  man  at  each  range.  CoL  Bndke,  by  right  of 
seniority  of  rank,  commanded  the  several  detach- 
ments. There  waa  a  guard  at  the  m^n  entrance  to 
the  field,  but  beyond  that  no  restrictions 
were  placed  over  the  men,  and  while  the 
Separate  Troop  and  Washington  Grey  Troop  re- 
mained at  their  posts,  the  members  of  the  Third 
Cavalry  roamed  around  at  will,  and  even  went  out- 
side the  grounds  to  a  neighboring  form-house  without 
molestation  from  their  superior  officers.  During  the 
noon  recess  one  of  a  party  from  the  latter  regiment, 
outside  the  fence,  dlspnarged  his  il^rbine  at  nothing 
in  particular,  regardless  of  the  possible  consequences. 
The  attention  of  Col.  Bn<iU:e  was  called  to 
the  cIrcumstRnce  by  the  reporter,  but  of  course  the 
culprit  could  not  be  found,  so-  ready  were  hit  com- 
rad^^to  shield  him.  The  weather  was  moderately 
waSn  and  the  sky  was  overcast  with  clouds,  so  that 
the  ^en  did  nut  suffer  from  the  heat,  and  no 
flagrant  eases  of  drunkenness  occurred.  The 
number  who  qnalified  at  100  and  150 
yards  to  shoot  at  the  longer  ranges  was  as 
follows:  Third  Regiment,  135;  Separate  Troop. 
10,  and  Washington  Grey  Troop,  21.  The  shooting 
wa.^  uud(»r  the  super\'ision  of  LIent.-Col.  E.  H.  San- 
ford,  Division  Inspector  of  Rifle  Practice,  assl.nted  by 
Capt.  Vehsloge,  of  the  Third  Regiment  While  the 
men  were  practielngat  the  300  ya:nis range  a  thunder- 
storm passed  over  the  grounds,  but  the  marksmen 
kept  on  shooting  until  they  were  thoroughly  wet, 
when  they  gave  up  and  sought  shelter  under  the  re- 
freshment stands.  The  Washington  Grey  Troop  fin- 
ished its  score,  but  the  others  were  Incomplete.  The 
record  of  the  Wa«hIngton  Grey  Troop  at  250  and 
300  yards  was  as  follows  : 

WathiTigUyn  Grq/  TVwp.— Llent.  Decker,  42;  Capt 
Baker.  41 :  Sergt.  WiUon.  38:  Corp.  Holston,  3,'>;  SergL 
Hovey.  .34;  Corp.  Dr^er,  3.3:  Privato  Hatton.  3.3; 
Private  B*yile,  31:.  Privnte  M.-Padden.  2?*;  Private  Mer- 
ritt,  27;  Privat*  Finloy,  '25;  Private  Maokey.  25. 

During  the  practice  C"l.  Sanford  discovered  a  man 
named  A-  Small,  of  Company  C,  Forty-seventh  Regi- 
ment, shootinc  in  the  uniform  of  a.  member  of  the 
Third  Cavalry.  It  wh.s  found  that  he  waa  at'tlng  as  a 
substitute  for  Jacob  Geitz,  of  Troop  K.  The  record 
of  Small's  shooting  was  erased,  and  Geitz  will  be 
court-martiftled.  The  troops  straggled  up  t'>  the  de- 
pot after  the  practice,  Col.  Budke  brliiglug  up  the 
rear. 

Capt.  Louis  (remer  ana  12  members  of  the  Fifth 
Regiment  practiced  at  200  and  500  yards  distanco 
for  the  purpose  of  selecting  a  team  to  shoot  in  the 
Fall  prize  meeting  of  the  National  Rifle  Association. 


MEETING  OF  THE  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE  OF 
THE  XATIOXAL  RIFLE  ASSOCIATIOX. 

The  Exectitive  Committee  of  the  National 
Rifle  Association  held  a  meeting  yesterday  afternoon. 
Judge  Stanton,  the  President,  in  the  chair.  Other 
members  present  were  Gen.  Wylie.  Gen.  Dakin.  Col. 
Wingato,  and  Major  Pulton.  A  letter  from  Sir  Henry 
Halford.  Captain  of  the  British  Team,  asking  for 
special  Custom-honse  privileges,  and  an  extraamount 
of  time  for  practice  by  his  team,  was  read  and  re- 
ferred to  the  President,  for  the  purpose  of  carry- 
ing out  the  plan  proposed.  The  new  regulation  al- 
lowing soldiers  to  uj*e  tiled  sights,  which  has  long 
been  under  consideration,  waa  adopted.  The  pro- 
gramme for  the  Fall  prize  meeting  at  Creedmoor  was 
under  discussion  for  some  time,  and  was  ultimately 
referred  to  a  special  committee  consisting  of  Messrs. 
Stanton,  Woodward,  and  Wylie  for  final  arrange- 
ment. A  letter  was  recfived  from  Mr.  R.  Benton. 
Secretary  of  the  Scottish  Rifle  Association  dated 
Glasgow,  July  2S.  protesting  against  permitting  a 
British  team  to  shoot  for  the  Centennial  trophy. 
The  following  extract  comprises  the  substance  of  the 
communication  :  — '

to  learn  that  the  ftame  parties  who  would  not  comt»ete 
last  year  aloni?  with  the  Scotch  and  IriHh  are  getting  up 
a  so-called  British  team,  and  purpo«a  comiKitluK  thtM

Mr.  Renton  then  proceeds  -to  enter  a  formal  pro-

THE  ANNUAL  BAyRERS'  CONVENTION 

ITS  PROPOSED  ACTION — RESTRICTING  THE 
POWER  TO  ISSUE  ML'NICIPAL  BONDS — 
THE  TAXATION  OP  BANKS, 

Yesterday  Mr.  James  Bnell,  the  President  of 
the  Importers'  and  Traders'  Bank,  and  Secretary  of 
the  Bankers'  Association,  Usued  a  call  for  the  annual 
convention  which  is  to  be  held  In  this  City  in  Sep- 
tember next.  There  are  G,300  banks  represented  In 
the  association,  and  a  very  determined  and  united 
effort  will  be  made  to  remove  the  unfair  taxation  on 
banks.    The  following  Is  the  call : 

The  Aji£ricak  Baxkebs'  Associatioic. 
No.  247  Bhoadwat, 
New-Tokk.  Aug.  11.  187: 

DsAB  Sm :  Ton  are  respectfully  In^nted  to  att«nd  the 
annual  convention  of  our  asatxdation,  to  be  held  In 
this  City  on  the  l-2th,  i:^th  tun!  J4th  of  Ijeptember  next. 
The  objects  of  the  conveutioii  are  of  such  vital  Importanc*; 
that  every  Individual  connected  with  the  banking  bnni- 
nesR,  either  aa  nn  officer,  a  shareholder,  a  dlrect<)r  or  a 
dealer,  is  personallv  Interested;  antjl  it  Is  desirable  that  a 
Inrfce  delegation  should  attend  from  oil  parts  of  fhe 
Vnlted  States.  Tlie  time  ha.-*  arrived  whfjn  our  bonks  and 
bankers  moHt  recojciilw.- tile  nei-etislty  of  aicttnfl:  together, 
an<j  of  cultivatlnc  a  doner  nnion  for  great  common  ob- 
iCcta,  condncive  alike  to  the  recuperation  of  bas'.ness.  the 
improvement  of  public  and  pri^'ate  en 'lit,  and  the  eeneral 
prosperity  of  the  ooantry.  We  Intend  to  send  you,  In  a 
few  days,  a  copy  of  the  a<idresses  and  proceedings  of  the 
del^atlon  from  this  asJUM^Iation  before  the  Committee 
of  Woya  and  Means  at  VTiiBldnitton,  l^-*t  February.  The 
irahlocts  of  this  report  un-  of  such  magnltndo  In  relation 
to  the  flnanclal  and  Indnatrial.  thu  agricultaral  anrl  man- 
ufacturing inter'-sts  of  the  countrj',  that  a  conspicuous 
pl«ce  will,  no  doubt,  be  given  to  them  In  tho  programme 
of  our  annual  convention. 

You  wtU  receive  further  Information  as  to  the  topics 
and  speakers  when  our  Committee  of  Arraiig'menta 
have  perfo-ted  their  plans.  Never  has  there  been  a 
period  In  ti:o  liflcal  history  of  this  country,  when,  on  since 
tho  war.  the  bankabave  been  nin^Ied  out  for  heavy,  dliutv 
troui*.  and  dlscrlmlnatlnK  taxation.  In  IHtJA,  wbt.n  tlio 
corTespondinK  war  tujteu  on  other  iutereatM  were  re- 
moved^ the  war  taxet  of  the  banks  ought  also  to  Itave 
been  taken  off.  "We  arft  informed  by  Congreaamen  of  In- 
fluence that  if  we  had  Joined  the  other  (iufTering  Inter- 
ests in  appealinjc  to  Congress,  we  should  undoubtedly 
have  obtained  relief.  We  nt^elect^d  to  do  «o ;  and  the 
conseqntn  ^.-e  U  that  the  taxes  or  the  Federal  fJovemmont 
upon  the  l>ank8.  and  throuRh  them  upon  thebuRlnes!) 
commnnity,  are  almost  the  only  aurvivlnx  relloi  of  those 
Kp^t-ial  taxes  which  it  wad  denigned  to  sweep  away  at  the 
cIcBS  of  the  war. 

Besides  this  vital  question  of  tax  repeal,  which  ts  so 
necessary  for  the  prosperity  of  buainess,  and  for  the  very 
existence  of  our  banks  In  many  p&rta  of  the  country, 
there  are  other  practical  subjects  which  wHl,  of  course, 
cloint  the  attention  of  the  convention.  Prominent 
among  tbefie  ift  tb«  tmre«trict©d  power  to  Uaue  munici- 
pal, county,  and  other  t>ondi«.  by  wnich  heavy  bnrdens  of 
taxation  arp  being  folHted  upon  the  people.  Those  bnr- 
densarenowHo  galling  as  to  be  a  frequent  menace  to 
our  pnbHc  credit  at  home  and  abrond.  Unlew  some  Judi- 
cious restrintions  can  be  devlsetl  te  stop  these  reckless  Is- 
sues of  bonds,  the  outcry  In  favor  of  repudiation  will  be 
oftener  heard  In  the  fntnre  ;  although  It  is  evident  to  any 
rertecting  citizen  that  the  L'suers  of  snch  bonJs  are  tho 
men  who  ehould  be  punished,  and  not  the  honest  holder* 
who  have  given  their  mf mey  In  good  faith  for  them. 

In  introauclng  the  various  discuflslons  during  our  three 
days'  aessiouR,  addrcuses  will  probably  be  given  by  em- 
inent men  on  the  remonetization  of  silver,  on  the  re- 
sumption of  specie  paymeuta.  and  on  the  union  of  the 
banks  for  the  refrnidlng  of  thp  debt,  as  well  an  on  other 
Bubjects  Ulustrstluji  the  powerful  infldence  of  thf  bank- 
ing system  upon  public  and  private  credit,  and  the  Unan- 
ciai  evils  which,  by  Injuring  our  banking  efBcioncy.  In- 
tllct  a  corresponding  harm  upon  all  Idnaa  of  trade  and 
industry. 

We  shall  be  glad  to  hear  from  you  on  any  of  the  fore- 
going topics  at  your  earliest  convenience.  The  presenT 
circmar  is  chiefly  intended  as  a  preliminary  annoimoe- 
ment  of  matters  upon  which  we  wish  to  consult  you. 
Yours  truly,  JAMES  BCELL,  Secretary. 

In  conversation  with  a  Timss  reporter  yesterday 
Mr.  Bnell  said  that  one  of  the  greatest  evils  affecting 
the  financial  interests  of  the  country  now  was  the 
unlimited  and  unrestricted  issue  of  uiunicipal  bonds. 
Everv  little  town  was  now  engaging  in  the  business, 
and  Uiey  were  aided  by  brokers  and  others  in  putting 
them  upon  the  market,  and  thus  increasing  the  bur- 
den of  taxpayers.  

THE  TELEGRAPH  COMBINATION. 
The  committees  of  the  Western  Union  and 
Atlantic  and  Pacllic  Telegraph  Companies  meet  to 
dHy  to  frame  a  plan  for  harmonlziag  the  interests  of 
the  two  corporations.  All  sorts  of  ntmors  were  In 
circulation  yesterday  as  to  their  probable  acUon^ 
but  so  far  nothing  definite  has  transpired.  Inquiry 
at  the  of&ces  of  the  leading  members  of  the  eommit- 
tees  failed  to  elicit  anything  new.  and  it  Is  not  likely 
that  the  result  of  their  deliberations  will  be  mode 
public  until  it  has  been  officially  submitted  to  the 
companies.  Among  thoee  best  informed,  however, 
the  opinion  is  prevalent  that  the  SO  per  cent,  basts, 
mentioned  in  The  Times  of  Satturtiay  last,  will  be 
adopted.  By  this  arrangement  the  eamtngi  of  the 
companies  are  to  be  pooled,  SO  per  cent,  togo  to  tiia 
Western  Union  and  20  to  the  Atlantia  and  *^  " 


THE  HEALTH  DEPlRTMEFr. 


ITS  EXTRAVAGANT  MANAGEdiENT.

IN  THE  MAYOR'S  OFPIOE— THE  PAT-BOLI* 
OP    THE    DEPABTMINT— COMPLAINTS    OF 
PETTY    ANNOYANCES    ON    THE    PART    OF 
OPPiCIALS. 
About  two  years  ago  the  Commissioners  of 
Accounts  went  on  a  tour  through  the  various  depart- 
ments of  this  City,  for  the  purpose  of  maldng  a  rigid 
examination  of  their  books.    This   important  duty 
is  Imposed  upon  them  by  the  charter  of  1873,  under 
which  their  office  was  created.    Before  they  had  set 
abont  performing  their  task  there  were  many  reports 
afloat  respecting  the  reputed  rottenness  of  various 
Municipal  bnreatis,  and  It  was  openly  hinted  that  if 
they  were  properly  Investigated  the  labor  would  be 
rewarded  by  very  dam(^:ing  exposures,  that  would 
probably  subject  the  offending  officials  to  removal. 
In  the  course  of  their  duty  the  Commissioners  of  Ac- 
counts turned  their  eyes   to   the   Department    of 
Health.    They  called  one  morning  at  the  office  of  the 
board,  and,  assisted  by  several  experts,   made  an 
examination  of  their  books.    They  were  oecuiped 
a     oomparatlvely    long  time    In   making    the     in- 
vestigation, because  it  was  nenessarr  for  them  to  ob- 
tain information  from  the  officials  as  well  as  from 
their  ledgers.  The  Commissioners  subsequently  made 
a  voluminous  report_of  their  labors — one  that  is  said 
to  have  been  very  damaging  to  the  Board  of  Health. 
They  presented  the  report  to  ex-Mayor  Wlckham, 
who  was  then  In  office,  and  he   in  turn  simply  ad- 
dressed a  copy  of  it  to  the  Health  Department.  Some 
time  aftenrard  the  latter  forwarded  to  Mr.  Wlckham 
an  answer  to  the  report,  but  it  appears  that-neither  ^ 
tho  report  nor  the  answer  is  now  to  be  found  in  the 
Mayor's  office.      Applications    weranihade  to  copv 
them  about  a  week  ago,  but  after  an  exhaustive  searcif 
they    could    not     be    found.      Mayor    Wiekham 
took      no     further     action     In    the     matter,     and 
the     report     and     reply     to      It      are     shrouded 
in     mystery     so     far    as    the     public    are     con- 
cerned.   It  was  afterward  said    tlmt   the  Commis- 
sioners of  Aocotmts  had  charged  the  Health  Depart- 
ment with  using  for  its  m.ilntenanbe  certain  moneys 
th.it  should;  as  claimed,  have  bi>en  deposited  in  the 
City  Treasury.  .  Whetlier  this  be   true  or  not.  their 
answer,  as  previously  stated,  appears,  like  the  report, 
to  have  been  suppressed. 

But  apart  from  thU  charge,  the  Health  Department, 
as  it  exists  to-day,  seem^  to  be  a  heavy  and  tinneces- 
snry  burden  upon  the  tax-payers.  Its  force  could  be 
reducotl  one-half  or  two-thirds  without  affecting  the 
efficiency  to  which  it  lays  claim.  When  Tweed  ruled 
the  Citv.  In  ono  of  the  dark  years  of  corruption, 
1870.  tJie  amount  allowtnl  for  the  maintenan*'e  of 
the  Health  Department  wiis.$107.(M>0.  and  even  that 
WAS  an  extravagant  sum.  But  the  appropria- 
tion to  the  same  department  for  tho  present  year  is 
$'JOl.S72.  This  comparatively  enormous  amount  is 
eaten  up  by  salaries,  paid,  among  others,  to  a  little 
array  of  men  who  rau  be  justly  called  snpemtuner- 
aries.  Prof.  Chandler,  the  head  of  the  department, 
in  making  up  his  estimates  for  1^*77.  seems  to  have 
been  unable  to  clve  some  members  of  his  immense 
force  a  distinct  designation.  He  has  no  fewer  than 
00  men  on  his  pay-roll,  including  18  clerks,  20  sani- 
tary inspectors,  and  helpers,  laborers,  registers,  and 
members  of  the  di.Hln  felting  corps.  They  are  sup- 
posed to  be  employed  throughout  tho  year.  althnu<;h 
during  three  or  four  months  of  it,  when  the  weather 
is  extremely  cold,  the  services  of  one-half  of  them, 
especially  thone  of  the  disinfectlne  corps,  could  be 
dispensed  with.  No  idea  of  the  larce  force  of  the 
Board  of  Health  can  be  realized  unless  the  following

TfVO  DEPARTMENTS  IN  CONFLICT 


THK  8TREET-CLEANINO  BUEKAtT  BEPUSES  TO 
BEHOVE  BOTTBK  PEUIT  AIO)  VEGETABLES 
PROM  THE  CITY. 
A  misunderstanding  was  developQd  yesterday 
between  the  officials  of  the  Street-cleaning  Bureau 
and  those  of  the  Health  Department,  growing  out 
of  the  refusal  of  the  former  to  receive  and  dispose  of 
the  unripe,  rotten,  and  unwholesome  fruit  and  vege* 
tables  condemned  by  the  latter.  Heretofore  qtunti- 
ties  of  fruit  and  v^etables  condemned  as  unfit  for 
food,  by  the  fruit  Inspectors  acting  imder  the  au- 
thority of  the  Board  of  Healtii,  have  been  received 
at  the  various  dumping  wharves  under  the  control  of 
the  Street-cleaning  Bureati.  and  removed  with  the 
ashes  and  garbage  collected  by  that  bttreau.  Yester- 
day Dr.  Day.  Sanitary  Superintendent,  was  notified 
by  Capt.  Gunner,  of  the  Street-cleaninjf  Bureau,  that 
no  more  of  the  condemned  stuff  would  be  received. 
Capt.  Gunner  stated  that  he  was  acting  imder  In- 
structions from  Commissioner  Nichols,  and  the  reason 
given  waa  that  the  Police  Department  had  no  place 
to  deposit  this  refuse  matter.  It  was  debarred  by  an 
injunction  from  dumping  In  the  waters  of  the  oay, 
and  the  proprietor  of  the  irrounda  at  Newtown 
Creek,  where  they  were  at  present  dumping  the 
ashes  and  street  sweepings  collected  in  the  City,  re 
fused  to  permit  the  rotten  fruits  and  vegetables  to 
be  dumped  on  his  lot.  Furthermore.  the 
Police  officials  claim  that  they  are  not 
required  by  law  to  remove  the  stuff  condemned  by 
the  Sanitary  Inspectors,  as  it  is  neither  garbage, 
ashes,  nor  street  sweepines.  Dr.  Day  contended, 
however,  that  the  Police  Department  is  charged  by 
law  with  the  removal  of  all  refuse  matter  from  the 
City,  and  that  rotten  fruits  and  veget-ibles  come 
under  that  classification.  Tlie  Board  of  Health  have 
no  facilities  for  removing  tlie  largo  quantities  of  nn. 
ripe  and  nnwholesome  fruit  which  are  being  rbn- 
stantly  condemned  bv  the  corps  of  fruit  iuHpectors. 
The  controversv  will  doubtless  be  settled  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Health  to-day.

Amoni?  these  men  nearly  the  whole  of  the  appro 
priation  of  $201,872  is  divided.  But  even  this  sum 
IS  not  all  that  is  allowed  to  the  Health  Department. 
Occasionally  Prof.  Chandler,  who  keeps  a  sharp  eye 
on  unexpended  balances,  appears  before  the  Board  of 
Apoortionment,  and  eagerly  begs  to  have  them  trans- 
ferred to  his  department.  Only  a  few  weeks  ago  he 
succeeded  In  having  a  resolution  passed  by  the  board 
turning  over  to  him  balances  amounting  to  S5,000, 
to  furnish  medical  attendance  to  the  sick  poor 
in  tenement- houses — a  worthy  object,  but  one 
which  could  be  ftccomplisbed  by  cutting  _  down 
his  present  force,  and  applying  the  amounts  thus 
saved  to  the  object  named. 

Shortly  before  Prof.  Chandler's  reappointment,  in 
May  last,  doubts  were  expressed  In  the  Board  of  Al- 
dermen as  to  whether  he  was  a  Republican  or  a 
Democrat.  His  name  had  been  sent  in  by  Mayor  Ely 
for  confirmation.  The  Democratic  City  Fathers — all 
but  one — believed  that  he  was  a  Republican,  and  they 
were  disposed  to  exercise  their  power  by  rejecting 
him.  The  President  of  the  board,  Mr.  Henry  D. 
Purroy,  however,  assured  his  associates  that  Mr. 
Chandler  waa  a  genuine  Democrat.  Another  Alder- 
man disputed  the  fact,  and  Mr.  Purroy  then  set  all 
doubts  at  rest  by  stating:  "I  know  ftof.  Chandler 
to  be  a  good  Democrat,  and  I  know  that  he  has 
acted  with  the  Democratic  Party  in  this  City." 
After  this  little  speeeh  Mr.  Chandler  was  confirmed- 
Whether  Mr.  Chandler  be  a  Republican  or  a  Demo- 
crat, his  department  is  marked  by  obvious  extrav- 
agance, and  If  common  rumor  speaks  truly  it  has 
been  made  an  instrument  of  petty  annoyances  to  a 
number  of  property  owners  in  this  City,  who  have 
been  m^cted  by  it  In  fines  for  small  or  nominal  of- 
feiLses  against  its  code. 

THE  EXCISE  TROUBLES. 
The  aspect  of  affairs  in  connection  "with  the 
excise  muddle  remained  unchanged  yesterday.  The 
exffltement  among  the  liquor-dealers  has  almost  dis- 
appeared. At  the  offices  of  ths  £xeise  Department, 
79  applications  for  licenses,  accompanied  by  9^500, 
were  received  during  the  day.  A  largo  number 
of  applicants  who  were  given  receipts  last 
weeic  were  also  in  attendance,  filing  the  necessary 
bonds.  Owing  to  the  absence  of  Commissioner  Pat. 
teison,  rendered  necessary  by  sickness  In  his  fsmilv, 
the  board  did  nOt  hold  a  session,  and  consequently 
no  licenses  were  granted-  To-day  tho  Commissioners 
hope  to  be  enabled  to  dispose  of  some  of  the  accu- 
mulated applications  for  ale  and  beer  licenses,  of 
which  there  axe  filed  about  1.500.  The  Commisdon- 
ers  yesterday  deposited  ^I00,000,recelved  as  fees  for 
licences  with  the  City  Chamberlain.  At  Essex  Mar- 
ket Police  Court  yesterday  Justice  KUbreth  held  the 
following  deMnquent  liquor-dealerB  In  9IOO  bail :

A  LEGAL  VICTORY  FOR  THE  OLD  BOARD — 
THE  DEMOCRATIC  HEADS  OP  DEPART- 
MENTS TO  SHOW  BY  WHAT  WARRANT 
THEY  HOLD  OFFICE. 
Last  Spring  the  offices  of  several  Republi- 
cans In  Jersey  City,  those  of  members  of  the  Boards 
of  Public  Works,  Kre,  and  Police,  were  "seized  "  by 
the  Democrats  under  cover  of  a  8j>ecial  legislative 
act,  and  have  been  held  in  spito  of  all  the  protest-. 
tlons  of  the  Republicans  up  to  this  time.  The  Demo- 
crats have  persisted  In  maintaining  thoir  imsition,  un- 
der the  advice  of  the  Corjwration  Ojuusel,  and  the 
Republicans  have,  by  William  A.  Lewis,  thair  counsel, 
kept  their  eyes  wide  ojien  for  a  clmnce  to  recover 
their  lost  E-'*ound.  There  had  been  little  bop.-  among 
the  lU-publ loans  of  late  thnl  the  matter  could  Ijo 
brounht  t<i  cctnrt  bufore  the  November  election,  and 
the  Democrats  were  eouddent  that  they  could  thus 
postimne  a  decision,  and  ihoy  have  actively  striven  to 
make  tliLs  the  case.  The  Democrats  were  8urpri.se<l 
when,  in  June.  Mr.  Lewis  obtained  an  order  to  show 
cause  why  information  should  not  be  filed  nnd 
procens  issue  against  the  defendants.  This  was  filed 
in  July,  and  now  the  first  \-ictory  bus  l>een  followi-d 
up  by  another.  T.4tst  Friday  orders  were  pro- 
cured from  the  Supreme  Court  of  New-Jersey. 
These  orders  based  on  the  information  filed  against 
Matthew  Monks.  David  C.  Jovce.  Nathan  R.  Fowler, 
Anton  Schick,  .John  Q.  Bird,  and  James  T.  Hough  re- 
cite that  they  have  for  months  past  unlawfully  held 
the  offices  of  Police  Commissioners,  and  order  that 
they  plead  and  demur  to  the  Information  held  in  the 
cause  within  20  daj-s  after  the  ser\'ice  of  the  or- 
deni,  were  that  they  take  short  notice  of  triaL  Siml- 
lar   orders    were   served  upon  the  members   of    the

that  tho  matter  will  come  up.  as  appointed,  early 
in  September.  The  celerity  of  Mr.  Lewis,  counsel 
for  the  Republicans,  is  highly  commended  among  hl.s 
clients,  who  had  scHrcely  looked  for  a  further  con- 
test before  November.  The  effort  on  the  part  of  the 
old  Commissioners  to  file  information  against  their 
adversaries  was  resisted  by  the  Democrats,  their 
counsel,  Mr.  Leon  Abbett.  asking  the  court  to  refuse 
the  old  Commissioners  tliis  request. 


THE  BAVARIANS  OF  BROOKLYN. 

THEm  SECOND  ANNUAL  FESTIVAL  IS"  THE 
MYRTLE-AVENUE  PARK— MARCHING,  MI'- 
BIC,    MERRIMENT,   AND   BEER. 

The  SI  CO  id  annual  festival  of  the  Bavarians 
In  Brooklyn,  under  the  management  of  the  Bava- 
rian Society  of  the  Etistem  District,  began  yes- 
terday, and  will  be  continued  during  to-day  and  to- 
morrow. The  place  of  the  festival  Is  Sfjrtle-Ave- 
nue  Park,  Brooklyn,  E.  D.  Yesterday,  however,  the 
festivities  were  not  confined  to  the  sports  in  the 
park.  They  began  at  an  early  hour  in  the  morning 
in  the  heart  of  Williamsburg,  and.  with  music  and 
shouting,  were  carried  through  many  .Greets,  to  the 
admiration  of  the  wondering  inhabitants.  The 
Bavarian  Stjciety,  of  which  Mr.  John  Leonard 
is  the  President,  met  at  9  o'clock  yester- 
day morning,  together  with  representatives 
of  other  (ierman  societies,  in  Military  Hall, 
on  tho  comer  of  Scholes  and  Leonard  'strfets. 
At  O:!.*!  o'clock  the  trumpet  sounded,  and  the  Mar- 
shals began  to  form  the  line  of  the  procession.  A 
few  minutes  later  the  band  began  to  play,  and  the 
horses  to  canter,  and  the  procession,  headed  by  Mar- 
shal Unnck.  resplendent  in  russet  and  green,  and 
followed  by  his  fimr  adjutants,  moved  gaily  onward. 
Following  the  Marshal  and  his  aids  came' the  band. 
Its  members  attired  in  the  blue  uniforms  and  helmets 
nf  the  Bavarian  infantrj' :  and  then  followed  a  most 
royal  representative  of  tho  musical  monarch.  King 
Ludwig.  attended  by  other  notable  person- 
ages whom  Bavarians  hold  in  esteem.  Cava- 
liers In  green  and  .scarlet,  and  others 
with  mighty  breast-plates  and  cluiiu  armor. 
preceded  a  triumphal  car,  on  which  sat  Bavaria  on  a 
pedcKtal,  surrounded  by  dam.'^els  as  young  and  buxom 
as  she  was  herself.  The  car  was  decorated  with  tlags, 
and  bore  the  ^-old  and  black  arms  of  Havaria.  It  was 
"followed  by  a  similar  car  bearing  Gormania,  who.  to 
vary  the  monotony,  sat  npon  a  rock  iiistead  of  a  ped- 
estal. A  (rennan  shooting  companv.  and  the  Bava- 
rian Benevolent  Society  of  Brooklyn  trudged  along 
on  foot  after  Germnnia,  and  the  committee  having 
the  festival  in  charge  lollowed,  with  iri-color  sashes 
and  cllt  fringe.  Then  tho  roar  of  the  pro- 
cession was  brought  up  by  a  remarkable 
series  tif  tableaux  on  wheels.  perhaps 
the  very  first  one  beinc  the  most  unique  and  elabo- 
rate. This  was  the  car  of  Flora,  who,  in  Bavaria,  is 
eWdently  tlie  (roddess  of  Souash.  for  the  wncon  In 
which  she  rode  was  plentifully  decorated  with  tlmt 
edible  veeetnl-le.  to  say  nothing  of  egfl;-plant.'*  and 
onions.  The  (»em  of  tho  Urean.  with  the  ine\itablo 
13  original  States,  in  red.  white,  and  blue  ;  Y,\x- 
ropa  and  her  children  ;  St.  NichoIa<>,  who  defied 
alike  the  thermometer  and  tlie  alraauac,  and 
wore  fur  and  carried  a  Christmas-tree ;  a  school 
scene :  a  Bht»emakpr's  shop,  and  a  group 
of  Tyrolean  singers  ended  the  pageant. 
When  the  procession  arrived  at  the  Myrtle-Avenue 
Park  the  authority  of  the  MamhaU  di-Kappeare*!.  and 
beer  keg  after  beer  keg  was  rolled  from  a  cold  recep- 
tacle to  a  suitable  place  for  tapping,  and  the  Bava- 
rians cried  "  Hoch !  *  and  proceeded  to  drink  and  to 
eat.  The  Gi)ddeas  of  Liberty  tucked  her  robes  about 
her,  and,  with  a  sandwich  in  one  band  and  a  glass  of 
beer  in  the  other,  acted  like  a  very  ordinary  and  very 
comfortable  mortal,  and  B.ivaria  and  Europa  and  aU 
their  attendant  damsels  did  likewise. 

Early  in  the  afternoon  crowds  of  visitors.  Includ- 
ing many  young  women  in  clean  white  frocks,  ar- 
rived at  the  park,  and  the  place  became  more  lively. 
The  rain  which  beean  at  ab<mt  4  o'clock  affected 
somewhat  the  order  of  the  exercises,  but  not  at  nil 
the  ardor  of  the  Bavarians.  There  were  places  with 
ro<)fe  where  one  conld  eee  the  Punch  and  Judy  show 
and  the  comic  pantomlmee ;  and  there  was  a  largo 
platform  where  there  was  dancing. 

This  afternoon  there  will  be  acrobatic  feats  and 
sack  race?,  and  buck  springs — whatever  they  are — 
and  a  comic  masquerade,  and  to-morrow  there  will 
be  a  similar  programme  to  close  the  festlvaL

THE  TAMMANY  AXE  9TILZ  FALLING. 
Tho  first  batch  of  appointments  made  in  the 
Finance  Department— a  list  of  which  has  appeared  in 
Thk  Times— did  not  satisfy  the  demands  of  the  Tam- 
many Committee  on  Organization,  and  therefore  the 
axels  to  continue  fallinK  until  all  their  immediate 
followers  are  provided  for.  The  process  of  removaj, 
however,  must  be  comparatively  slow,  as  the  men 
clamoring  for  positions  are  not  familiar  with  book- 
keeping or  with  any  kind  of  clerical  duty  now  per- 
formed in  the  Controller's  office  or  elsewhere.  The 
Controller  yesterday  appointed  Jaques  Schmitz  to  a 
clerkship  in  one  of  his  bureaux,  iu  place  of  Robert  S. 
Hasbrouck.  The  salary  is  $l,OO0  a  year.  It  Is  said 
that  many  changes  are  also  to  be  made  In  the  Fire 
Department,  in  compliance  with  the  demands  of  the 
Tammany  Committee.

TUB  GUNSER  MURDER. 
Jacob  Eisle,  awaiting  examination  on  the 
charge  of  murdering  John  Guuser  at  East  Williams- 
burg, after  making  his  escape  from  Justice  Marshall's 
Court-room  at  Newtown  on  Saturday,  the  4th  inst., 
as  alleged,  had  his  shoes  mended  by  a  cobbler  near 
Middle  Village,  and  remarked  that  he  hoped  they 
would  hold  out,  as  he  had  a  long  way  to  travel. 
When  arrested  he  said  to  his  wife.  '"It  is  all  up 
now;  they  will  hang  me,"  and  frequently  since  his 
imprisonment  in  the  County  Jail  he  has  asked  the 
keepers,  "If  they  hang  me  will  "the  town  take 
care  of  my  wife  ?"'  District  Attorney  I>owning-  re- 
gards it  as  a  strong  point  against  Eisle  that  when  in- 
formed of  the  murder  he  went  to  Gunser's  saloon, 
and,  without  being  interrogated,  said,  "  I  did  not  kill 
him,  so  help  me  God  I"  The  officers  who  were  en- 
gaged in  working  up  the  ease,  in  common  with  oth- 
ers, still  beliovo  that  Mrs.  Gunser.  if  she  did  not 
kill  her  Uusljand,  knows  who  did.  The  tbeorv 
of  the  officers  is  that  the  couple  hail 
a  bitter  quarrel  in  relation  to  Schmidt's 
alleged  improper  intimacy  with  Mrs.  Gunser ;  that 
Gunser,  becoming  exasperated,  seized  the  gun  and 
struck  his  wife  with  the  butt  over  the  head  ;  that  she 
received  the  injuries  on  her  arm  in  warding  off  his 
blows  ;  that  she  finally  backed  awunst  the  window, 
which  was  smashed  by  a  blow  aimed  at  her,  which 
blow  also  broke  the  stock  from  the  gun-barrel :  that 
Gunser  then  dropped  the  barrel,  which  was  picked 
up  by  Mrs.  Gunser^  who  struck  the  fatal  blow  with 
it :  that  she  mighjmave  had  help  at  the  last  of  the 
m^le^,  but  she  certainly  had  aid  in  removing  the 
Iwdy  to  the  b«»d.  whttre  it  was  found  after  the  uarm 
wa**  given,  aud  that  the  gun-barrel  was  subsequently 
taken  away  and  concealed  by  Mrs.  Gunser's  accom- 
plice. The'dcteclive.s  say  that  tho  correctness  of  the 
supposition  that  tho  window  was  smashed  by  the 
gun-stock  is  proved  by  the  fact  that  there  is  an  in- 
dentation in  the  woodwork  corrcspomling  to  the 
shape  of  any  ordinary  stcick  :  and  it  is  ridiculous  to 
suppose  that  the  murderer  would  jump  through  a 
closed  window  to  escape,  an-i  thus  run  the  ri.sk  of 
cutttnc  himself  badly,  when  there  was  an  unlocked 
door  close  at  hand,  only  held  shut  by  a  chair  braced 
against  il.  Should  there  be  found  probable  cause 
for  holding  Eisle.  however,  this  theory  will  doubtless 
be  regard«i  as  of  little  weight.

dren, among  them  a  daughter,  afterward  ilrs.  Fow- 
ler, who  was  the  wife  of  a  practicing  lawj-er  in  this 
City.  In  Septeml>er.  1B76.  the  Administratrix  filed 
auaecount  of  her  proceedings,  haying  notified  all 
persons  interested  to  l»e  represented  at  the  account- 
ing. Mrs.  Fowler  appeared  and  filed  objections, 
alleging  that  several  (Tovemment  lionds  ana  a 
pair  of  ponies  and  carriages  had  irot  been 
inventoritML  She  also  li^ed  her  objection 
to  varioiis  Items,  csreedine  in  amount  $2.00O. 
chiefly  those  expended  in  legal  disbursements,  aud 
with  which  the  Admini'^tratris  had  credited  herself. 
Mrs.  Fowler  also  took  exceptions  to  an  item  of 
■iin.iXK/indtoasumDf  $-1,003  111.  which  the  Ad- 
minibtratrix  claimwl  as  having  been  paid  her  as  her 
di-*i  ributive  share.  Mrs.  Fowler  charging  that  she  had 
never  received  such  sums  and  had  no  claim  thereto. 
The  last,  and  perhaps  the  weakest,  objection  made 
by  Mrs.  Fowler  was  to  an  item  of  $215  charged  for 
clerical  services  in  writing  up  the  accounts.  l>urro- 
gate  Coffin  yesterday  set  aside  all  the  objections 
raised  by  Mre.  Fowler  excepting  the  charge  of  $213 
for  clerical  work.  The  latter  sum,  however,  was  not 
allowed  by  the  Surrogate.

A  NEW  CONEY  ISLAND  BOAT. 
Possibly  the  new  steam-boat  Rosedalo,  which 
has  been  recently  started  on  the  Coney  Island  Une,  Is 
for  her  size  the  handsomest,  most  commodious,  and 
expe<Utioas  excursion  boat  on  the  Bay.    She  is  per. 
feetly  beaadful  as  to  her  lines,  and  her  accommoda- 
tions are  of  the  most  ample  and  satisfactory  charac* 
-¥k'«X:r" 'r."r  "^tri'V-  *r.'TTZ  ™««  .w^vtuiLTM  uu      t«r.     The  Boaedale  Is  owned  by  Mr.    Alexander  U 
SIO.OOO,  Which  Will  be  divided  anoog  bis  nrvirlxis  X  U*  Soiltli,  and  2a  «  companion  boat  to  the  earlier  con- 


structed Idlewild,  but  Kurpaases  the  latter  BT  sta* 
and  In  every  other  particular  which  goes  to  make  t 
desirable  excursion  steam-boat.  Although  onlv  run- 
ning a  week  last  Sunday,  and  as  yet  incomplete  as  td 
some  of  her  furnifihings,  she  is  already  oagerlv  sought 
after  by  the  most  experienced  exrursioni'-ii.  Sha 
was  built  at  Atlantic  Citv,  Va..  and  with  the  excep- 
ceptaon  of  an  oak  kelson,  is  constructed  altogether  oj 
red  and  white  cedar.  Her  length  over  all  is  22i» 
feet ;  her  breadth  of  beam  34  feet,  and  her  breath  over 
the  gtmrd  60  feel.  She  is  93^(  tons  burden,  and  ha« 
ample  accommodations  for  1,500  pasMrngers.  but  if 
there  were  need  could  carry  many  more.  She  baq 
one  condensing  engine,  two  boilers,  a  cj-linder  50 
Inches  In  diameter^  and  a  IS-foot  stroke'of  piston. 
As  has  been  stated,  she  Is  made  of  red  and  whit^ 
cedar  as  to  her  main  structure,  but  the  light  er  works, 
moldings,  &c..  are  done  in  mahogany  and  maple.  Hcj 
main  dec!/  (white  cedar)  is  excentionallv  spacious, 
and  onJfhe  upper  deck  also,  which  is  much  soajrhs 
after  by  excursionists,  the  room  is  abundant.  Th»! 
speed  of  the  Ko&edale  pmmuses  to  be  ph(  nomenal, 
and  even  now,  when  her  enicnnps  are  not  in  perfect 
working  order,  she  can  hold  her  own  with  the  f^ess 
boats  on  the  Bay.  This  fine  rrafi  has  been  in^nsted 
to  the  care  of  Capt.  W.  B.  Carroll.

Washington,  Aug.  14.— At  the  Cab- 
inet meeUng  to-day,  the  principal  topic  of 
discussion  was  the  recent  erenta  on  the  Mexican 
border.  Assistant  Secretary  Seward,  who  repre- 
sented the  State  Department,  presenting  official 
dispatches  recitingthe  circumstances  of  the  raid 
of  Mexicans  on  a  Texas  jail,  and 
the  release  of  a  number  of  Mexican  despera- 
does who  were  confined  therein.  Secretary  Mc- 
Crary  also  preselfted  the  report  of  Major  Price, 
the  officer  commanding  the  district  in  which 
the  affair  occurred.  It  seems  that  on  the  10th 
inst.  an  organized  hand  of  Mexicans  crossed 
the  border  to  Eio  Grande  City,  attacked  the 
jail,  and  opened  fire  upon  every  person  in  the 
vicinity,  mortally  wounding  two  citizens,  and 
injuring  seriously  the  jailor  and  his  as- 
sistant. Two  criminals  were  released.  Major 
Price  called  uDon  the  Mayor  of  Camargo,  the 
Mexican  town  from  which  the  desperadoes 
came,  for  the  return  of  the  released  prisoners, 
and  demanded  the  arrest  of  the  persons  impli- 
cated in  the  affair,  several  of  whom  were  recog- 
nized, warning  him  that  if  he  did  not 
receive  the  assistance  asked  he  should 
pursue  them  on  Mexican  soU.  Major 
Price  also  went  to^  Camargo  and  conferred 
personally  with  the  Mayor,  who  issued  an  or- 
der to  the  Police  lorthe  arrest  of  the  persons 
who  could  be  identified.  Major  Price  at  once 
Informed  Gen.  Ord,  who  communicated  the 
facts  to  Gen.  Trevino,  commander  of  the 
Mexican  forces,  and  Gov.  Hubbard,  of  Texas, 
also  made  a  demana  on  Gen.  Canales,  the  Gov- 
ernor of  the  Mexican  Province  of  Tamaulipas, 
for  the  extradition  of  the  raiders..  President 
Hayes  submitted  a  dispatch  from  Gov.  Hubbard 
reciting  these  same  facts,  and  asking  that 
a  re<|uisition  be  made  by  the  Federal 
Government  upon  the  Mexican  authorities. 
Upon  an  examination  of  the  case  by  the  Cabi- 
net it  was  found  that  a  requisition  of  this  sort 
cannot  be  made,  but  under  the  extraiitlon 
treaty  of  1802  it  is  provided  that  frontier  States 
Dr  Territories  of  the  two  Governments  can 
make  requiStions  on  each  other  directlv, 
through  their  civil  authorities,  or  in  their  ab- 
sence by  the  commanders  of  the  military  on 
either  side  of  the  boundary  line.  Gov.  Hub- 
bard was  informed  of  this  treaty  relation,  and 
the  Secretary  of  War  was  instructed  to  notify 
Gen.  Ord  that  it  was  the  duty  of  the  civil  au- 
^orities  to  conduct  the  negotiations.

Washington,    Aoig.     14.— Mr.    Charles 

Dodge,  of  the  flnrfVf  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co..  of 
Xew-York.  to-day  had  a  long  consultation  with 
the  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  regard- 
ing the  shipments  of  tin  and  other  heavy 
freights  from  Singapore,  China,  to  American 
ports.  Lender  the  present  regulations,  all  ship- 
ments by  way  of  London  and  Liverp*>ol  have 
to  be  reinvoiced  at  those  ports.  The 
merchants  are  thus  obliged  to  pay  double 
tavoioe  fees.  In  addition  to  this,  the  steam-ship 
companies  are  the  better  enabled  under  exist- 
"Ing  rules  to  make  unjust  discriminations  in 
freight  rates  against  the  shipments  for  New- 
York.  Mr.  Dodge,  representing  a  number  of 
well-known  merchants,  now  desires  to  have  the 
regulations  changed,  so  that  the  invoices  made 
in  China  may  cover  the  whole  journey  to  New- 
Tfork  or  other  American  cities.  Assistant  Sec- 
retary McCormick  has  referred  the  matter  to 
the  5«ew-York  Custom-house  authorities,  and 
upon  receiving  their  report  the  Treasury  De- 
l^artment  will  make  a  decision.. 

THE  POSTAGE  STAMP  SUPPLY. 
4  COUNT  MADE  OP  ALL  THE  STAMPS  IN  THE 
HANDS  OP  «HE  CONTRACTORS — A  SMALL 
DEFICIT    DISCOVEEED. 

Wa.shington,  Aug.  14. — Postmaster-Gen- 
sral  Key,  .shortly  after  coming  into  office,  de- 
termined upon  having  a  thorough  examination 
made  into  the  manner  of  doing  business  at  the 
,  postage  stamp  m  mufactory  in  Xew-York  City, 
in  order  to  be  assuired  that  the  interests  of  the 
G>vemment  wera  properly  protected  in  this  im- 
portant branch  of  the  service,  and  hU  intention 
has  just  been  carried  into  effect.  The  stamps 
are  furnished  by  th-i  Continental  Bank 
Note  Company  of  Isew-York,  who  have 
held  the  contract  since  the  Ist  of  May,  1873. 
To  enable  the  contractors  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  the  department  promptly,  it  is  neces- 
sary to  keep  constantly  iai  stock  a  largo  quan- 
tity of  stamps  representing  millions  of  dollars, 
and  the  Postmaster-General  deemed  it  prcper- 
th»t  after  a  lapse  of  more  than  f pur  years  the 
stock  reports  made  to  the  departxitent  shotdd  be 
verified  by  an  actual  count  of  the  stamps  on 
hand.  The  committee  appointed*)  condnct  the 
examination  determined  upon  by  the  Postmas- 
ter-General  were :  Madison  Davis.  Chief  of  the 
Stamp  Division;  William  A.  Knapp,  Chief 
Clerk  of  the  Post  Office  Department,  and  H.  T. 
Sperry.  Stamped  Envelope  Agent  at  Hartford, 
Conn.,  and  they  have  just  completed  their  la- 
bors and  submitted  their  report  to  Third  As- 
BJatant  Postmaster-General  Hagen,  imder  whose 
specific  instructions  they  actedl  In  taking  ac- 
count of  stock  the  committee  were  assisted 
by  a  force  of  12  expert  counters,  (ladies,) 
iiQier  tha  charEs  of  Mr.  De  Laiul.  detailed  Irom 


the  Treasury  Department.  The  work  occupied 
five  days,  and  resulted  in  finding  on  band  in  the 
vault  of  the  company  182,044,160  stamps  of 
the  various  kinds  and  denominations,  repre- 
sentine  in  valu*  $7,560,82,'}  31.  This  result 
proved  a  neWeflciency  from  the  balance  shown 
by  the  books  of  the  contractors  of  652  stamps, 
valued  at  $18  74,  the  difference  appearing  in 
onlv  five  out  of  128  items.  The  contractors 
will  be  required  to  pay  the  amount  of  the  de- 
ficiency. The  committee  report  that  they  care- 
fully examined  the  character  of  the  work  as  to 
the  qualitjj  of  paper,  printing,  gumming,  &C., 
and  found  it  very-satisfactory.  They  note  one 
deficit  in  the  system  of  checks  and  safeguards, 
otherwise  regarded  as  adequate,  in  the  manner 
of  disposing  of  the  spoiled  or  condemned  work. 
The  deficit  arises  fnm  the  inability  of  the  Gov- 
ernment agent,  for  want  of  sufficient  clerical 
force,  to  count  the  spoiled  stamps  after  the  con- 
tractor. As  a  Remedy  they  recommend  the  em- 
ployment of  an  expert  to  count  the  stamps 
after  they  are  turned  over  to  the  agent  for 
destruction.  This  cannot  be  done  until  the 
necessary  appropriation  shall  be  made  by  Con- 
gress. An  additional  clerk  was  asked  for  by  the 
agency  at  the  last  session  of  Congress,  but  was 
not  cranted.  The  committee  acknowledge  their 
obligations  to  Postmaster  James,  of  New-York, 
for  valuable  assistance  rendered  them.  The 
report  is  gratifying  to  the  department,  the  com- 
mittee having  discharged  their  duties  thorough- 
ly and  effectually. 

THE  IXDIAy  TROUBLES. 


DISPATCHES  RECEIVED  AT  GEN.  SHERIDAN'S 
HEAD-QUARTERS — WHAT  HE  THINKS  OP 
GEN.  GIBBON'S  RECENT  BATTLE— ^THE 
SITTING  BULL  COMMISSION. 

.fpniat  Di^KiIck  to  Oie  Neui-Torlc  ITtncs. 

Chicago,  111.,  Aug.  14.— Dispatches  re- 
ceived at  Military  Head-quarters  to-day  stated 
that  the  Indians  of  Joseph's  band  are 
being  followed  and  harassed  by  the 
troops,  and  that  they  are  in  an 
exhauirtcd  and  demoralized  condition.  Their 
feet  are  sore,  their  heads  are  sore,  their  horses' 
backs  are  sore,  and  they  are  evidently 
becoming  sick  of  the  campaign.  They 
must  soon,  it  would  seem  from  the 
tenor  of  the  telegrams,  surrender  until 
a  more  favorable  season  comes  around.  How- 
ard and  Gibbon,  at  last  accounts,  wet'e  follow- 
ing the  Indians  in  hot  pursuit.  Gen.  Sheridan 
said  to-day  that  he  expected  Howard  would 
soon  come  up  with  the  Indians  and  finish  the 
job  of  chastisement  which  Gibbon  so  well 
began.  He  believes  Howard,  with  the  sol- 
diers he  has  at  his  command — from  700  to 
1,000  men — can  completely  break  up 
the  hostile  band.  Unle.ss  t  his  punishment  can 
be  inflicted  before  the  Indians  get  away  into 
the  mountains  of  Idaho,  it  will  be'  use- 
less to  pursue  them,  for  they  can,  with 
their         superior         knowledge         of  the 

mountain  passes,  elude  all  pursuit. 
Then  .Joseph  is  too  craftv  an  Indian  to  make 
his  wav  through  the  settled  country,  and  mil 
take  the  most  unfrequented  and  difficult  trails. 
Gen.  Sheridan  thinks  Gibbon  probably  went  Into 
this  fight  with  the  Nez  Perces  without  calculat- 
ing as  to  the  chances  of  being  worsted.  He 
went  into  the  fight,  he  says,  with  as  much  confi- 
dence as  though  he  had  a  big  army  at  his 
back.  The  Lieutenant-General  is  also  of  opin- 
ion that  Gibbon  whipped  the  Indians,  but  as 
the  casualties  were  so  h«avy  and  he  came  so 
near  being  wiped.out;  that  a  great  many  people 
who,  ha«l  the  tight  not  taken  place,  would  have 
called  him  a  coward,  now  term  him  a  fool  for 
what  they  call  ra-shness. 

Orders  will  be  issued  from  the  military  head- 
quarters here'  in  a  few  days  for  the  trans- 
fer of  eight  companies  of  the  Second  Cav- 
alry from  the  Department  of  the  Platte  to 
the  new  ^sts  on  the  Yellowstone.  In  its  new 
field  the  ^»econd  Regiment  will  be  able  to  co- 
operate with  the  cavalry,  and  in  this  way  better 
service  will  be  secured. 


Dijvaieh  to  the  AMoriated  Pro*. 

Wa.ohin-oton,  D.  C,  Aug.  14.— The  following 
telegram  from  Lieut.-Gen.  Sheridan  was  re- 
ceived at  the  WarDepartraent  this  morning: 

CHIC-Ano,  m,  Aug.  13,  1877. 
To  Gen.  E.  D.  Tmmtend,  Wathinglon.  D.  O. : 

I  have  every  rea.son  to  believe  that  Col.  Gibbon  has 
had  a  substantial  success,  and  take  pleasure  in  com- 
mending the  coumge  of  Col.  Gibbon  and  his  small 
command.  They  have  indicted  a  severe  if  not  a  dis- 
astrous pttnishment  on  the  hostile  Nez  Percfis.  The 
reports  that  he  ha/l  lost  his  trains  are  untruthful. 
P.  H.  SHERID.-iN,  Lieutenant-General 

The  Cabinet  to-day  decided  that  the  commis- 
sion to  treat  with  Sitting  Bull  should  consist  of 
only  two  members  on  the .  part  of  the  Cnlted 
States — a  military  officer  and  a  civilian, 
f  ien.  Terry  has  been  selected,  and  will  act  in 
the  capacity  of  Commissioner,  pro\-ided  ho  can 
with  safety  leave  his  post.  The  other  member 
has  not  yet  beej^  selected,  but  some  one  already 
in  the  publio "  service  will  Ite  designated 
by  Secretarj-  -  Schurz,  there  being  no 
appropriation  or  authority  to  employ  one  not  in 
the  Government  employ.  It  was  also  decided 
that  Col.  H.  C.  Corbin,  recently  on  duty  at  the 
E.xecutlve  Mansion,  should  accompany  the  com- 
mission as  Secretary.  A  member  of  the  Cabi- 
net having  been  applied  to  by  a  news- 
paper correspondent  for  permission  to 
go  with/  the  commission  and  report  pro 
ceedings,  the  question  was  raised 
whether  correspondents  should  be  permitted 
to  accompany  it,  and  after  some  discussion  it 
was  decided  that  as  many  gentlemen  of  that 
profession  as  desired  to  might  go,  all  of  them  to 
pay  their  own  expenses. 

Helena,  Montana,  Aug.  14.— The  follow- 
ing has  just  been  received  from  Ban- 
nock: '"The  Indians  cro.ssed  at  the 
head  of  Horse  Prairie  to  Lemhi,  striking 
Stephenson's  this  morning,  killing  the  Pierce 
brothers  and  another  on  the  route.  They  are 
evidently  making  their  way  to  Smoke  River 
Valley."

WITH  MILITARY  ORGANIZATIONS  AND 
CIVIC  GUESTS — THE  ESTABLISHMENT  OF 
THE  STATE  OP  VERMONT  TO  BE  COM- 
MEMORATED TO-DAY  — '  PREPARATIONS 
FOB  RECEIVINQ  PRESIDENT  HAYES— AR- 
RIVAL OP  TROOPS  FROM  ALL  THE  SUR- 
ROCNDING  COUNTRY. 

Special  Di^xUeh  to  Vie  Kew-Tork  Timet. 

Bennington,  Vt.,  Aug.  14.— To  a  stranger 
coming  into  this  little  town  to-day  it  might 
appear  that  the  Vermont  Centennial  Celebration 
was  in  fxill  blast,  so  full  of  visitors,  of 
flags,  of  decorations,  of  military,  of  brass 
bands,  are  the  tree-shaded  streets.  These, 
however,  are  only  the  notes  of  preparation. 
The  celebration  proper  begins  to-morrow. 
There  are  two  distinct  yet  allied  events  to  be 
commemorated — the  establishment  of  Vermont 
as  a  State  and  the  battle  of  Bennington,  and 
one  day  will  be  given  to  each  event.  Vermont 
would  have  become  a  State  probably 
had  the  battle  of  Bennington  never 
been  fought,  and  the  battle  would  have 
been  fought  had  the  proposition  to  make  a  sep- 
arate district  of  the  New-Hampshire  granta 
never  been  heard  of.  Yet  the  two  events  are 
nearly  allied  in  point  of  time.  Both  grew  out 
of  the  same  causes,  and,  therefore,  both  are  cele- 
brated at  this  time. 

Vermont  seems  to  have  done  her  utmost  to 
make  the  Centennial  Celebration-  a  success,  and 
beyond  doubt  there  will  bo  the  largest  gather- 
ing ol  people  here  that  the  State  has  ever  seen. 
The  programme  of  proceedings  for  the  two 
days  h^  already  been  publi.shed.  To- 
morrow, the  loth,  is  Vermont  Day,  and 
Hon.  Mr.  Roberta,  of  Burlington,  will  deliver 
a  historical  oration  on  the  growth  of  the  Xew- 
Hampshire  grants  into  the  State  of  Vermont. 
A  procession  of  all  the  military  and  veteran  or- 
ganizations will  then  take  place,  and  in  the 
afternoon  President  Hayes  will  arrive  and  be 
received  with  all  possible  honors.  The  military 
already  on  the  ground  are  in  camp  on  the 
slope  of  a  ridge.  A  little  way  out 
of  the  city  proper,  and  directly  at  the  foot  of 
Mount  Anthony,  which  dominates  the  whole 
valley  in  which  Bennington  lies,  every  company 
of  the  Vermont  Militia  and  the  veteran  organi- 
zations are  imder  canvas.  CoL  Peck,  of  Burling- 
ton, is  in  command.  The  camp  is  laid  out  with 
great  care,  and  the  conformation  of  the  ground 
ia  well  suited  for  the  purpose.  In  addition  to 
the  tents  of  the  military,  there  is  an  immense 
marquee  for  dancing  purposes  and  long  rows  of 
tents  for  lodgings,  pitched  on  the  ground  a  lit- 
tle below  the  regular  camp.  These  were  put  up 
by  the  Round  Lake  Camp-meeting  organisation 
by  request  of  the  Centennial  Commission,  who 
distrusted  the  capacity  of  the  town  to  accommo- 
date the  crowds  expected  to  throng  hero  cluring 
the  next  two  days.  Nearly  opposite  has 
been  erected  the  grand  stand  from  which  the 
President  will  review  the  troops.  Tlio  green 
expanse  between  is  used  for  a  parade-ground. 
On  the  outer  edge  of  the  grounds  dozens  of 
enterprising  merchants  have  erected  such  tem- 
porary structures  for  amusement  and  re- 
freshment as  are  usually  seen  where  a 
great  crowd  collects  to  spend  money  and  see 
the  sights.  The  town  has  been  very  properly 
policed  by  laree  detachments  of  the  mililarj-. 
And  last  nipnt  a  disurderly  house  which 
certainly  must.  from  its  magnitude, 
have  been  specially  established  for 
the  occasion,  was  raided  upon  and 
the  whole  crowd  of  inmates  walked  out  of  town. 
There  was  dress  parade  this  afternoon.  Some 
4O0  or  5(K)  men  were  in  line,  and  their  drill 
was  excellent.  The  men  went  through  the 
manual  like  regulars.  This  excellence  it  w?ems 
is  due  largely  to  the  incessant  drilling 
they  have  been  put  through  during  the  past 
few  days.  A  little  betore  the  parade  came  off. 
Col.  Hooker's  battalion  came  marching  into 
camp,  and  was  received  with  a  salute  by  tho  bat- 
tery of  light  artilltry  of  Brattleboro.  The  battal- 
ion marched  from  Windham Gounty.aforty-mile 
tramp  over  the  mountains,  upon  which  they 
camped  last  night  Some  other  detachmeuts 
also  came  down  to  Bennington  from  their 
homes  in  the  same  8oldi<?rly  style.  The  New- 
Hampshire  regimentscome  to-night.  The  Massa- 
chusetts troons  are  already  on  the  ground. 

The  Presiaential  party  to  arrive  to-morrow 
afternoon  wUl  consist  of  Pre,sident  and  Mrs. 
Haye.s  his  son  Birchard,  Miss  Foote,  Attomey- 
Cieneral  Devens,  Postmaster- Oenfiral  Key,  and 
Secretary  of  War  McCrary.  They  will  bo  met 
at  Troy  by  Cols,  George  K.  Harrington  and 
George  A.  Merrill,  and  at  the  State  line  of 
Vermont  and  New- York  the,  party  will  be

Mountain,  fighting  and  falling  desperately 
wounded,  in  command  of  an  Ohio  regiment  a 
Vermont  brigade  under  Gen.  S.  "Baldy" 
Smith,  who  is  here  to-day,  and  W.  T.  H.

C.  IT.  Bliit.  Esq.: 

Mt  Dear  Sib  :  I  regret  deeply  that  I  cannot  be 
present  at  the  Vermont  Centennial  Celebration,  to 
which  the  letter  invites  me.  The  state  of  my  health 
will  not  permit,  and  the  same  reason  prevents  me 
from  attempting  to  embody  in  verse  toe  spirit  and 
feeling  of  the  great  occasion.  The  record  of  Vermont 
throughout  thecentury  of  herexistencehasbeenoue  of 
which  her  sons  have  every  reason  to  be  proud.  Your 
sister  States  and  the  neighboring  provinces  of 
the  fair  dominion  which''  stretches  along  yonr 
border  will  not  fail  to  be  represented  at  your  gather- 
ing, and  the  codfiratulations  of  the  C'anadfts  will 
mmgle  with  those  of  Massachusetts  and  New-Hamp- 
shire. The  cause  of  peace  will  be  strengthened  by 
such  a  celebration.  To  me,  as  a  life-long  opponent 
of  human  slavery,  Vermont  has  been  a  suojeet  of 
especial  interest.  Her  soil  has  never  been  polluted 
with  slavery,  and  her  sons  were  among  the  first  to 
oppose  the  encroachments  of  the  detestable  wrong 
elsewhere.  With  my  very  best  wishes  for  the  com- 
plete success  of  your  celebration,  I  am  vrrv  tnily 
yours,  JOHN  G.  WHITTIEB. 

A  dispatch  has  been  received  from  Vice-Pres- 
ident Wheeler,  saying  in  consequence  of  the 
death  of  a  near  relative  he  would  not  be  able  to 
be  present  on  the  16th  inst

on  the  subject,  ■with  the  view  of  complying  with  the 
wishes  of  .the  Bennington  Battle  Monument  Associa-

SptiiallMrtaAcK  to  the  yew- York  Timet. 

Portland,  Me.,  Aug.  14.— Tho  Maine 
Democracy  did  most  of  its  work  in  the  closet 
to-day,  so  that  the  delegates  had  little 
else  to  do  than  ratify  the  action 
of  the  committee.s.  Mr.  Talbot,  who  got 
so  badly  handled  in  the  last  campaign,  failed  to 
capture  the  nomination,  as  he  had  expected, 
and  Joseph  H.  Williams,  of  Augusta,  was  the 
lucky  aspirant  for  an  empty  title.  The  party 
leaders  held  their  followers  well  in  hand,  and 
put  forward  a  platform  and  a  candidate  which 
bid  fifrongly  for  aid  and  suppori.  from  the 
disaffected  Republicans.  They  go  even  fur- 
ther in  indorsing  the  Hayes  policy  than  the 
Augusta  Convention,  for  while  claiming  that 
Tilden  was  duly  elected,  they  dif^Iaim  anv  in- 
tention to  make  a  factious  opposition 
to,  the  present  Administration,  and  to 
foster  the  conciliatory  pol  icy  of  the 
Republicans  of  the  State.  They  voted 
down  an  anti-prohibitory  resolution,  which 
was  offered  chiefly  at  the  suggestion  of  the 
Portland  hotel -keepers,  5Ir.  Williams,  their 
candidate,  wap,  as  a  Republican,  elected  in 
1856  to  the  State  Senate,  and  was  ma(\e 
President  of  that  body.  The  following  year  he 
became  Governor,  under  the  Constitution.  Han- 
nibal Hamlin  being  elected  from  the  Governor's 
chair  totho  United  States  Senate.  Mr.  Williams 
has  been  a  member  of  the  House  since,  and  is 
now  a  retired  lawyer,  living  iu  Augusta  He 
ia  63  years  old. 

The  speeches  of  the  convention  were  v^ery 
few  and  insigniflcanr,  Ebeji  F.  Pillsbur^-.  wh<>, 
as  Chairman  of  the  State  Committee,  called  «he 
convention  to  order,  did  so  without  making  a 
speech,  and  William  L.  Putnam,  of  Porthind,  the 
presiding  ofiicer,  said  very  little.  He  talkf-tl 
glibly  of  Democratic  doctrine,  charaed  the 
^general  business  depression  to  the  Re- 
publicans for  continuing;  the  war  on 
the  South  and  protecting  an  i  n  flated 
currency,  lea<ling  to  awful  extravagance  in 
the  conduct  of  public  and  private  affairs,  and 
counseled  the  delegates  to  make  no  mis- 
take, but  put  in  nomination  only  a  good 
man,  so  that  *  those  who  believed  that 
right  should  prevail  could  vote  for  h  i  m 
whether  they  were  Democrats  or  Republicans. 
Between  the*  first  and  second  ballots  <ien.  S.  F. 
Nickerson,  formerly  of  this  .'^tate.  and 
now  of  Boston,  made  a  speech,  directed 
pariicularly  at  Blaine  and  the  Augusta 
Convention,  "that."  he  said.  "  dan-d  not 
indorse  the  Administration,  whose  acts  had 
commended  thenifelves  to  every  patriotic  citi- 
zen,'* and  the  shot  was  well  applauded.  ^Ir. 
Pillsburv  also  made  a  brief  speech  at  this 
juncture,  but  said  nothing  notable. 

The  nomination  of  Mr.  Williams  was  not  se- 
cured without  a  struggle.  When  his  name  was 
propo.sed     by     Mr.     ^mith.     of     Augusta,      it 

was      received      with      mingle^^l      hisses and 

applause.  On  the  first  ballot'  thu 
three  candidates  voted  for  wero 
Mr.  Williams,  Mr.  Talbot,  and  Dr.  .Vlonzo  Gar- 
celon.  of  Lewiston.  There  wa*  no  choi<'e.  hut 
Williams  wa#.  Ithead.  The  name  of  (tufelon 
was  then  withdrawn.  The  second  ballot 
resulted  as  the  first,  in  no  choice, 
but  in  the  third  Williams  was 
victorious,  receiving  282  out  of  4.sO  votes,  and 
against  101  for  (iarcelon  and  87  for  Talbot. 
It  was  on  the  motion  of  Garcelon  that  the 
nomination  of  Williams  was   made   unanimous. 

The  Committee  on  Resolutions  reporte'd  three 
resolutions  as  follows  : 

Resolved.  That  the  Democracy  of  Maine,  in  conven- 
tion assembled,  herebv  reaffirm  and  adopt  the  plat- 
form and  principles  adopted  by  the  Nationnl  Demo- 
cratic Convention  at  St-  Louis  in  Juno.  1S7)>. 

Rfsolved.  That  the  reversal  of  the  verdict  of 
the  American  -jioople  as  expressed  at  tho  ballot- 
box  in  November  hun.  electing  Samuel  .1.  Til- 
den President  of  the  United  States.  wa«  the  most 
monstrous  political  fraud  recorded  m  hLstorj-.  The 
Democrarv  submitted  to  it  in  The  interests  of 
peace.  It  must  not  be  repeated,  and  we  call 
upon  ContrresR  to  prepare  and  submit  for  ratification 
an  amendment  to  tiie  Constitution  which  will  ren- 
der its  repetition  imoossible.  and  consign  the  con- 
spirators attempting  it  to  condign  punishment. 

liesolved.  That  the  restoration  to  common  rights  of 
citizenship  of  the  people  of  the  three  Southern 
States,  long  kept  subject  to  raiUtary  occupation,  is  a 
just  acknowledgment  of  the  wisdom  of  .Democratic 
principles;  that  the  Democratic  Parjy  acts  upon 
principle,  makes  no  factious  oppositinnriuid  opposes 
only  what  is  wronp  in  an  administration  in  jiosses- 
sion  of  the  Government. 

Marcellus  Emery,  of  Bangor,  submitted  two 
minority  resolutions,  one  condemning  the 
prohibition  legislation  of  the  last  liO  yeare,  the 
other  in  favor  of  legislation  which  shall  be  in 
accord  with  our  bill  of  rights  and  best  promote 
temperance.  Th<  se  resolutions  excited  an 
earnest  debate,  and  were  defeated  with  cheers. 
The  majority  resolutions  were  then  adopted. 

TBE   REPUBLICANS   OF  MARYLAND. 

Special  Dispaieh  to  the  ye»*-Tork  T\mfM. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  14. — The  changes 
and  reductions  ^n  the  force  of  the  Baltimore 
Custom-house  will  he  made  to-morrow,  and  will 
effect  between  60  and  70  of  the  present  incum- 
bents. The  special  agents  recently  reported 
to  the  Treasury  Department  that  the  force  was 
stronger  by  50  employes  than  was  needed  to 
transact  the  business,;and  Collector  Thomas  was 
instructed  to  cut  it  down  to  that  extent ;  but  in 
his  representations  that  the  reduction  would  be 
too  sweeping  he  induced  Secretarj-  Sherman  to 
order  the  abolirion  of  only  about  35  positions, 
which  is  more  than  one-sixth  of  the  entire  num- 
ber of  employes.  Beside  those  that  are  to  go 
out  permanently,  there  will  be  some  30  dis- 
missals of  incumbents  to  make  places  for  new 
appointees,  who  will  be  in  harmony  with  the 
ruling  faction  of  the  Republican  Party  in  Mary- 
land. Tbia  is  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  first 
movements  toward  preparing  the  party  for  the 
Fall  campaign. 

The  Republicans  have  already  attempted  a 
coalition  with  the  Working  Mens*  Party,  on  the 
Mayorality  by  proposing  that  the  latter  should 
rtocuaui^  for  Mayor,  David  L.  Bartlett,  ajjrumi- 
nent  aiAiicfactnrer,  in  which  event  the  Kepub- 
licans  would  indorse  him ;  but  the  Working 
Men  have  not  taken  kindly  to  the  proposition, 
and  say  that  they  will  take  their  caLdidate  out 
of  their  own  ranks.

MANIA. 
London,  Aug.   15. — TUq  Daily  Ncwf^  cor- 
respondent at  Berlin  teleeraphs  the  following : 
"The  German  Government  has  seriously  remon- 
strated against  the  Turkish  atrocities  and  inti- 
mated to  the   Porte  the  absolute  necessity  for 
stricter  discipline." 

The  Vienna  correspondent  of'  the  same  paper 
reports  that  at  Kustendji  there  is  a  panic  owing 
to  the  bombardment  of  the  place  by  the  Turks. 
Kustendji  was  occupied  by  only  two  regi- 
ments of  tho  Fourteenth  Army  Corps  and 
one  battery.  They  will  evacuate  the  town. 
Meanwhile,  for  the  protection  of  foreign  sub- 
jects, an  English  steamer  has  arrived  in  the 
port.  Bulgarian  families  are  leaving  Tirnova 
in  large  numbers  for  the  Danube,  as  an  attack 
on  the  place  by  the  Turks  is  daily  expected. 

The  Stnndard'.H  special  from  Constantinople 
says  it  in  reported  from  Widdin  that  an 
alliance  between  Roumania  and  Servia  has 
been  concluded.  Tho  Roumanians  and  Servians 
celebrated  the  alliance  by  mutually  saluting 
each  othor*s  flag  at  Gladova,  on  the  frontier. 
It  is  expected  that  the  Russians  and  Ronnmni- 
ans  will  almost  immediately  enter  Servia,  and 
be  joined  bj'  the  Servians,  who  are  constructing 
strong  works  upon  the  Timok  and  at  Alexin.itz. 
The  Ti}tws'  occa.sionaI  correspondent  at  Vienna 
says:  "  A  rumor  from  a  Russian  source  asserts 
that  Bulgaria,  while  remaining  a  vassal  of  the 
PoTte,  will  be  declared  autonomous  and  placed 
under  a  Mussulman  Prince.  It  is  quite 
possible  that  this  rumor  is  an  indirect  reply  on 
the  part  of  Russia  to  the  declaration  recA^-ntly 
mafie  by  the  Porte  that  it  would  be  dispose<l  to 
accord  Bulgaria  considerable  autonomy. 

Prince  Ha.ssan.  son  of  the  Khedive  of  Eg^-pt. 
is  spoken  of  as  the  futtire  sovereign  of  Rulgaria. 
He  was  educ.ate<l  in  Germany,  and  it  is  asserted 
that  the  suggestion  of  his  name  as  Prince  of 
Bulgaria  is  regarded  favorably  at  Berlin  and 
will  be  supported  by  England. 

The  THntfis'  occasional  corro-spondent  says  it 
is  rumored  that  Gen.  Ignatieff's  indi.'ipo-sition 
is  a  feint,  and  that  he  has  .suddenlv  fallen 
into  disgrace.  The  passage  of  the  Bal- 
kans was  mainly  resolved  on  in  conse- 
quence of  his  asstirance  that  with  the 
Turks  anything  might  be  ventured  upon.  The 
Ru.s.sian  (Tovernment  says,  moreover.that  it{has 
been  misled  on  cet^in  other  points  concerning 
the  state  of  things  in  Turkey.  This  rumor  may 
have  some  foundation,  biit  I  communicate  it 
under  reser\-e. 

The  iTi'm*".'*'  Vienna  dispa^h  says  :  "  A  letter 
from  a  cood  source  in  Bucharest 
shows  that  there  ia  much  diiwontent 
in  Roumania  at  the  passage  of  the 
Danube  by  Roumanian  troops.  The  writer  adds 
that  Roumania  aimed  at  independence,  and 
would  haveattained  her  object  without  great  sac- 
rifices by  remaining  on  the  defensive ;  whereas 
a  direct  participntitm  in  the  war  endangers 
her  future  and  exhausts  her  resources.  Thn 
Roumanians  derive  no  pecuniary  benefit  from 
suppl\-ing  provisiims.  Arc,  for  the  Rus.Man 
Army.  The  Russians  can  no  longer  pay  iu 
ready  money,  but  in  bonds  payable  at  three 
months'  date. 

The  7'iws'  Vienna  special  says  :  "The  visit 
of  Minister  Ristics.  of  Servia.  to  Vienna  h;is 
been  postponed,  and  the  Ser\-ian  Ministry  mean- 
while remains  iu  oflice."

from  Batoum  state  that  a  great  exodus  of  Cir 
cassians  from  the  Caucasus  is  going  on  as  a 
consequence  of  tho  withdrawal  of  the  Turki.*h 
expeditiou.  Fifty  thousand  people  and  1  .V).000 
cattle  are  awAitintr  embarkation  at  Sukum 
Kaleh.  Hobart  Pasha  had  improvised  a  jetty 
by  mooring  small  vessels  lengthwise, 
and  the  people  and  cattle  were  walking 
aboard  the  vessels.  A  frigate  and  trarisport 
had  arrived  at  Batoum  with  1.000  and  J>00 
emigrants  respectively.  None  were  permitted 
to  land  at  Batoum  on  account  of  the  lack 
of  accommodations  and  provisions.  All 
go  to  Trebizond.  The  Russians  succeeded  in 
stopping  the  exodus  from  the  Tchamtchira  dis- 
trict, and  drove  the  people  back  with  great 
cruelty.  It  is  repttrted  that  all  the  men  who 
participated  in  the  in.*5urrection  are  sent  to 
Siberia  and  their  women  and  children  given  to 
the  Cossacks.  Xo  movement  of  the  Russians  is 
visible  in  the  neighborhood  of  Sukum  Kaleh. 

At  Batoum  on  Monday  there  was  an  artillery 
duel.  Heavy  fighting  is  expected  soon.  [Note. 
^This  is  the  first  intimation  received  here  that 
the  Russians  had  returned  to  the  neighborhood 
of  Batoum.  It  is  a  Manchester  (riwrrfiaH  special 
dated  Batoum  yesterday.] 

Constantinople,  Atig.  14. — Mukhtar  Pasha 
telegraphs  under  date  of  Aug.  12  :  Several 
hundred  Russians  were  killed  in  an  ambuscade 
near  Kaule,  (probably  Kizil-Kule,  south 
of  Ani. )  Another  ofiicial  telegram,  dated 
Aug.  I'.i.  says:  "The  Russian  outposts  near 
Ani  have  been  defeated  with  the  loss  of  100 
killed,"  In  both  the  forecoing  engagements 
the  Turks  withdrew  on  the  approach  of  Rus- 
sian reinfo  rcements.

THE  ADVANCE  OF  SULEIMAN  PASHA — HIS  FOB- 
WARD  MOVEMENT  WITHOUT  OPPOSITION 
— SHARP     ENCOUNNER     AT   ESKI   SAGHRA 

—RECENT  RUSSL\N  LOSSES. 

London,  Aug.  14. — If  it  is  true,  as  re- 
ported from  Adrianople.  that  Suleiiuan 
Pasha  is  advancing  through  the  Fere- 
ditch  Pass,  the  movement  is  likely  to 
occasion  severe  fighting.  This  route  would 
bring  him  down  upon  Elena  and  the 
direct  road  to  Tirnova,  where  he  would 
engage  tho  Rus.sians,  and  enable  Os- 
man  Pasha  and  Lieut.-Gen.  Mehemet 
Ali  to  effect  a  junction,  when  the  united  Turk- 
ish armies  would  confront  the  concentrated 
armies  of  the  Czar.    But  Fereditch  Pass  is  so 

unlikely  to  be  chosen  for  such  a  movement  in 
the  face  of  the  enemy,  when  othnr  and  more 
practicable  passes  are  open,  that  it  will  be  well 
to  await  ofiicial  confirmation  before  accepting 
the  news  as  correct. 

The  Times*  Bucharest  correspondent  tele- 
graphs that  Prince  Eugene,  of  Leuchtenberg, 
who  commanded  a'  force  of  dragoons  and 
Bulgarians  under  Gen.  Gourkho,  had  ereat 
difllcultj-  in  extricating  himself  when  the  Rus- 
sians were  compelled  to  evacuate  E.sld  Saghra. 
He  was  surrounded,  but  cut  his  way  out  with 
the  loss  of  800  men. 

Constantinople,  Aug.  1 4. — By  tne  last 
military'  operation  south  of  the  Balkans  a  loss 
of  12,0OU  killed  and  wounded  was  inflicted 
upon  the  Russians.  The  enemy  have  been 
driven  from  all  localities  south  of  the  moun- 
tains, and  law  and  order  have  been  restored. 

Bucharest,  Aug,  14. — Eight  Turkish  steam- 
ers, including  monitors,  carrying  troops  and 
basgage,  apneared  off  some  Roumanian  villages 
near  Oltenitza  to-day.  After  reconnoitring  half 
an  hour  they  withdrew  to  Silistria. 

London.  Aug.  15.— The  Times  has  the  fol- 
lowing dated  Sbumla,  Aug.  14  :  *'  Suleiman 
Pasha  announces  that  his  vanguard  has  with- 
out opposition  pressed  forward  as  far  as 
Ferdinskinj,  on  the  road  to  Elena  and  entrance 
to  the  defile  of  the  same  name,  and  that  it  seems 
as  if  the  Russians  wish  to  abandon  the  pass. 
The  same  paper's  Adrianople  special  confirms 
the  foregoing. 

The  Netcs  publishes  the  following  special 
dated  Kadikoi,'  Tuesday,  but  no  news  of  the  en- 
gagement referred  to  has  been  received 
from'  any  other  source:  *' An  en- 
gagement occurred  yesterdav  at  Topkeny. 
The  Russians  defeated  the  Turks  and  captured 
five  cannon.  Osman  Pasha  has  arrived  within 
four  hoora'  march  of  Tirnova.      The  Bnuiana 


are  retreating  from  Topkeny.     Thty  have  been 
reinforced." 

Adrianoplb,  Aug.  14.— Stdeiman  Pasha's 
forward  movement  is  impeded  by  bad  weather.

A  dispatch  from  St.  Petershurg  says  no 
orders  nave  been  issued  for  extending  mobili- 
zation. The  Warsaw,  Wilna.  and  St.  Peters- 
burg Military  Districts  are  in  great  part  unaf- 
fected by  the  mobilization.  The  corps  of  the 
Guard  has  not  been  mobilized  to  its  full  extent, 
the  Cuirassiers  and  several  batteries  not  being 
included. 

Referring  to  the  seizure  of  Turkish  monitors

of  tho  Police  having  been  drafted  into  the

.«tfaraer  John  Bramall  sailed  from  New-Haven, 
some  time  Saturday  night,  with  a  valtiable  car- 
go of  ammunirion,  consigned  to  the  Turkish

Nsw-Havon.  supplied  the  balance  of  the  c^rgo. 
No  report  of  her  sailing  was  made,  for  the  obvi- 
ous reason  of  keeping  the  Russian  authorities  in 
ignorance  as  to  her  movements.

.Special  Dispatch  to  the  A'fw-  Vork  TVnwx 

Cleveland,  Aug.  14. — Your  correspond- 
ent called  to-day  upon  Mr.  Prank  Skarda.  the 
yoimg  Bohemian  editor  whom  the  working 
men  put  in  nomination  at_Cincinnati  on  Satur- 
day last  for  Lieutenant-tTOvernor.  He  was  very 
hopeful  and  willing  to  talk.  He  safd  the  people 
would  he  astonishetl  at  the  result  of  the  coming 
election.  "I  am  confident  we  can  carry  the 
State.''  he  said,  "if  a  proper  canvass 
is  made.  The  Bohemians  everywhere  are  solid, 
and  will  vote  our  ticket  to  a  man.  There  are 
about  H.OOO  Bohemians  in  this  city  that  can 
V»e  counted  on.  We  propose  to  divide  the  city 
into  Hiiheniian,  German,  and  English  sections, 
and  \viU  speak  to  the  pe<iple  upon  our  platform, 
which,  iu  a  single  sentence,  is,  more 
work     and     better      pay.  Everything     of 

]at<*  has  helped  tis.  The  strikes  are 
settled,  it  is  said,  but  the  people  propose  to 
have  their  say  at  the  polls.  In  Hamilton  Coun- 
ty (Cincinnati)  the  Democratic  Party  will  suffer 
most  from  lo.ss  of  votes,  but  in  Cleveland  the 
Repul)licans  will  lose.  There  is  very  much  en- 
thusiasm in  Cincinnati.  I  talked  with  many 
business  men.  and  they,  to  a  man,  pledjred  their 
suppiirt  to  our  party,  saying,  '  What  is  for 
the  working  man  s  iuterest  is  for  our  interest.' 
We  have  no  sympathy  with  the  Greenback 
Party,  but  believe  in  doing  away  with  the  na- 
tional bank  system.  We  have  many  crood  speak- 
ers, and  they  will  immediately  be  put  forward 
to  advocate  our  principles.  There  need  be  no 
fears  on  our  part-,  so  far  as  the  laboring  German 
vote  is  concerned.  It  \rill  supiK>rt  our  partv. 
We  are  not  Communists,  as  a  good  many  people 
represent.  We  don't  believe  in"the  geneikl  dis- 
tribution of  property,  but  we  do  want  that 
system  stopped  by  which  some  people  are  en- 
abled to  get  very  rich  at  the  expense  of  others."

Lea\*ing  a  net  income  of  the  Chicago  and 
North-western  Railroad  Company  proper  for 
the  year  of  $1,835,018  23.  This  is  reduced 
some  $700,000  by  a  deficit  on  the  proprietary 
roads.  Speaking  of  the  falling  off  in  busine.«^s 
the  past  year  and  the  prospects  of  a  revival  this 
Fall.  President  Keep  says  the  gross  earnings  of 
the  united  roads  for  the  first  half  of  the  fiscal 
year  tip  to  Dec.  1.  were  less  by  $284,518  80 
than  those  of  the  corresponding  six  months  of 
the  preceding  year,  but  the  falling  off  in  the 
earnings  was  more  than  met  by  the  reduction  in 
the  expenses,  and  the  result  was  a  gain  of  $218,- 
020  40  in  the  net  income  of  the  company. 
Expectarions  were  entertained  that  the  last 
half  of  the  fiscal  year  would,  with  a  continu- 
ance of  the  decreased  expenses,  show  as  favor- 
able net  results  as  did  the  corresponding  period 
the  previous  year  in  sufficient  amount  to  justify 
a  moderate  dividend  on  preferred  stock  in  June, 
and  leave  a  handsome  surplus  to  the  credit  of 
fhe  year's  income.-  This  expectation  was  frus- 
trated by  the  light  business  of  the  Winter  and 
Spring-  The  low  prices  for  freights  which  al- 
ways come  from  a  lack  of  business  by  various 
roittes,  and  the  low  rates  obtained  under  the 
operation  of  the  restrictive  laws  of  Iowa  have 
in  part  conduced  to  the  reduction  in  the  earnings. 
The  general  and  widespread  depression  pervad- 
ing the  country  would  have  weighed  still 
more  heavily  upon  our  revenue  during  last  year, 
had  the  resources  from  which  the  company  de- 
rives its  business  been  less  varied  than  they 
are.  The  present  season  has  already  sufficient- 
Iv  advanced  to  assure  an  abundant  harvest  in 
tne  West  and  North-west,  especially  of  wheat. 
Every  indication  poiDts  to  an  early  and  con- 
stant demand  for  ^readstuffe,  and  traffic  on  all 
our  railroads  will  soon  feel  the  movement. 
There,  is  encouragement  in  a  change  from^  the 
old  year  8  business  to  fhe  new.  W^th  reference 
to  the  prospect  of  an  improvement  in  all  sources 
of  revenue  during  the  new  fiscal  year,  and  in 
the  certainly  corresponding  increase  in  the 
value  of  the  stocks  and  bonds  of  the  company, 
the  report  says,  the  value  of  the  property  to  Its 
owners  and  its  efficiency  to  the  public  are  stead- 
ily enhanced  by  the  improvements  of  a  durable 
character  made  in  the  permanent  wef.  Steel 
track  to  the  extent  of  151  73-100  miles  was 
laid  during  last  year,  making  510  53-100  miles 
in  nee  on  the  31?t  of  May  last.  This  will  be 
increased  to  i*bor*  750  miles  dtxringthe  present

were  farther  defined  In  a  cf*mmuntcatioa  w^ch 
I  caused  to  1>e  addressed  to  the  Govemnopnt  of  Rus-

THE  FAMINE  IN  INDIA.  ' 

A  FAMINE  AREA  OP  EIGHTEEN  MILLION  PEO- 
PLE— THE  NErE.*5SITY  FOR  ^SCPPLIES 
STEADILY  increasing; — THE  SITUATION 
CRITICAL. 

Calcutta,  Aug.  12. — At  a  public  meet- 
ing held  at  Madras  on  the  flth  inst,,  to  consider 
steps  necessary  for  securing  help  from  England 
for  the  famine  sufferers,  the  Duke  of  Bucking- 
ham. Governor  of  the  IMadras  rresiden'*y, 
stated  that  the  famine  area  contained  18.O0O,- 
000  people,  of  which  a  largo  proportion  were 
dependent  for  their  daily  food  on  the  exerrions 
and  activity  of  those  who  tni^sport  grain  to  tho 
country.  The  necesity  for  supplies  is  steadily' 
increasing.  The  wants  of  ^Madras  are 
already  beyond  the  means  of  the  Presidency. 
Every  aid  that  can-  be  secured  is  ne^^de^l  to 
save  the  people.  The  increa,<»ing  severity  of  the 
distress  necei^sitates  an  appeal  to  public  chariry. 
Dr.  Cornish,  Sanitary  Commissioner,  said  tliat 
there  were  alreadv  L.nOO.OOO  people  being  fed, 
and  over  .500,000  had  died.  A  re>olution  wa-^ 
adopted  that  the  principal  cities  of  England, 
Sc4)lland,  Ireland^  and  India  be  informed  of  the 
urgent  necessity  ?<T*  assistance.  Th**  mover  of 
this  resolution  said  tT%i  more  people  were  found 
dead  in  a  single  moruftg  in  Madras  than  had. 
died  in  the  whole  Benj-%1  famine. 

Loxnos,  Aug.  14.— A  Calcutta  dispatch  to  the 
TVm/'.^  says :  ''During  t\e  last  week  there  has 
been  a  slight  and  insufficieiit  rain  in  portions  of 
Madras  and  Mysore.  It  i.^  now  clear  that  The 
famine  will  rage  with  increased  inteusity  in 
these  provinces  for  at  least  ^is  months  lonjK-r, 
The  nee' imports  into  Madras  are  V.risk.  All  the 
grain  that  Bengal  can  spare  is  beinsr  shipped.  . 
Inland  transport  to  the  distressed  districts  i>  a 
great  difficulty.  In  order  to  afford  increased 
facilities  for  carrying  food,  the  Madras  Govern- 
ment has  directed  the  discontinuance  of  sevftral.

and  there  is  a  general  scarcity  of  rain  throucb- 
out  India,  except  in  Bengal.  Assam  anjd  Bur- 
mah.  Mtich  anxiety  is  also  felt  regarding  Rai- 
pootana,  where  prices  are  rising  greatly.  In  the 
korth-west  rain  is  still  wanted,  and  it»  may  l>e 
said  regarding  the  greater  part  of  India  that  the 
situation  is  crirical,  and  great  dancer  of  almost 
universal  famine  exists.  The  Viceroy  has  de- 
termined to  visit  the  famine-stricJien  countrv, 
for  the  purpose  of  holding  personal  conference 
with  the  Governors. 


THE  FREI^CH  POLITICAL  SITUATION. 
I^ONDON,  Aug.  14. — The  Paris  Momtetir's 
declaration  in  contradiction  of  the  Figaro's 
sensational  stories  is  more  categorical  than 
Renter's  telegram,  which  was  telegraphed  to 
the  United  States  this  morning,  indi- 
cates.- The  MoniUnr  says  that  the  ques- 
tion of  a  state  of  siege  has  never  been 
discu-ssed  or  rai«ted  in  the  Cabinet ;  that  there 
has  never  existed  either  on  this  or  any  other 
question  any- division  w^hin  th6<?abinet;  thai 
the  most  perfect  understanding  has  always  ex- 
isted between  the  Duke  de  Broglie  and  M. 
Fourtou  :  that  neither  the  German  nor  any  oth- 
er Government  has  made  any  representations 
on  the  presence  of  the  Duke  de  brogle  at  thft 
head  of  the  Cabinet,  and  that  the  President  of 
the  Republic  is  firmly  resolved  to  retain  the 
Ministr\-  of  the  Ifith  of  May  until  the  elections. 
It  is  believed  that   the   Journal   Official  will   re- 

Eeat  these  contradictions  to-night,  and  that  the 
•uke  doBroglie's  acting  for  M.  Fourtou  during 
his  absence  is  an  arrangement  evidently 
designed  as  an  additional  proof  of  harmony  be- 
tween them.  There  is,  nevertheless,  a  wide- 
spread belief  that  M.  Fourtou  advocates  the 
proclamation  of  a  state  of  siege,  and  the  papers 
which  sound  his  prai.ses  unquesrionably  »dv^

toeeting  of  the  Chicago  policy-holders  pf  the  Charter

ported in  The  Times  of  yesterday,  have  called  forth 
the  following  letter  from  Mr.  H.  J.  Farber.    It  will

To  the  Editor  of  the  JTcto-  York  TTmei  : 

In  yonr  edition  of  this  morning  you  pnbUah  a  ape- 
rial  diftpatcli  from  your  correspondent  in  Chicago 
X  orportiDg  to  be  a  report  to  the  Chicago  policy-hold- 
ers of  the  Charter  Oak  Life  Insiirance  Company, 
made  by  the  committee  of  policy-holders 
from  that  city  recently  choien  to  visit  Hart- 
ford to  represent  the  interests  of  snoh  policy-holders. 
I  have  borne  in  silence  for  mora  than  a  month  the 
charges  which  have  been  made  against  me  of  frauds 
«nd  villainies  in  connection  with  my  management  of 
thirt  couip.nny,  waiting  and  hoping  that  thuse  high  in 
authority,  and  who  knew  of  their  own  knowledge 
toe  falsehood  of  these  ohaT^es.  wotild  speak  out  in 
ray  defence,  aa  they  solemiilv  promised  and  agreed  to 
d<i.  One  of  the  express  conditions  upon  which  I  in- 
Fisted,  l»efore  I  wuuld  consent  to  relinquish  my  po- 
siriiin  Jn  connection  with  the  company,  waa  that  un- 
in*»diately  upon  entering  upon  the  discharge  of  their 
tlutied  ttie  present  officers  should  cause  an  examlna- 
,  linn  of  ray  transactions  in  connection  with  tlio  com- 
panv  to  he  made,  and  then  cither  publish  to  the 
world  my  complete  vindication,  or  el^e  pnblishthe 
fafis  njK>n  wUich  I  ought  to  be  condemned.  This 
cnridition  was  solemnly  aj^rred  to  bv  the  commis- 
(■itnier.  Mr.  St*'dniau,  by  Hon.  Marshali  Jewell,  by 
Hr>ii.  W.  W.  Katun,  and'  by  Mr.  George  P.  Biasell. 
If  Rev.  Dr.  W.  H.  RydHr.  Chairman  of  the  Commit- 
tee of  the  (.'hicago  policy-holders,  in  his  report 
roiuitily  cond«'mned  my  management  as  one 
of  tiare:ai'*d  robbery,  ho  s'tated.what  he  might  have 
known  to  be  false,  and  utterly  faUe.  had  he  taken 
Die  trouble  to  make  any  investigation  into  the  affairs 
*f  the  Charter  Oak  Lite  Insurance  Company  when 
pent  to  Hartford  for  that  purpose  by  the  policy- 
b-iiders  r,f  the  company.  It  Hon.  William  Bross, 
one  of  the  committee,  stated  that  as  Western  men 
and  policy-holdt-n*  they  should  give  Hartford  and  the 
State  of  (Vmneciiimi  to  understand  that  they  menu 
>>nsiiies5.  and  that  for  one  he  demanded  that  Furber, 
"Walbeley.  and  others  intereHted  in  the  robbery  of 
The  Charter  i>ak  Company,  be  sent  to  the  Peniten- 
tiarj- for  their  stiipennou-s  villainy.  I  will  simply  say 
that  Hon.  Wiiiiam  Bross  has  fabnfied  his  own  words, 
uttered  no  later  than  two  weeks  aao  last  Sunday,  in 
a  conimunicatioti  to  his  own  paper,  the  Chic«^ 
'frUfune,  over  his  own  signature,  m  which  he  atatea 
thai  "  whaiever  may  liave  been  the  intention* 
of  Mr.  Fiirber  and  Mr.  Wiggin  in  obtaining 
rontroi  of  the  company,  their  managentent 
of  its  affairs  has  been  eminently  wise 
O'ld  advantageouiL"  If  Mr.  George  Sherwood,  an- 
other of  the  "committee,  stated  that  the  committee 
ra»ne  to  tl-e  conclusion,  and  that  after  thorough  in- 
vestigation, that  these  persons — Wiggin  andFnrber — 
who  were  intrusted  with  the  imaense  orphan  fund 
were  insralle*!  in  their  places  through  corruption  and 
1  raud,  and  t iieir  manaeement  has  been  reckless, 
cruel,  and  crimina!.  I  desire  to  state  that  Mr.  Sher- 
V  ood  testified  to  that  of  which  he  knows  nothing 
froia  any  inve?itigation  which  he  or  the  committee 
from  Clucat;o  made  while  on  their  visit  to  Hartford. 
Thisc<un:nittee  reached  Hartford  on  Monday,  and 
after  siwnding  two  days  in  close  commnuion  with 
certain  persons  in  Karttord  who  have  been  striving 
lor  more  than  a  year  to  break_up  and  destroy  the 
conipany,  they  were  at  last,  by  earnest  appeal  on  the 
part  of  certain  gentlemen  who  were  familiar  with  the 
manner  in  which  the  company  had  beenruanaaed 
dnrinc  the  last  liO  months,  induced  to  visit  the  office 
nf  the  com  pany.  They  spent  there  two  houra.  from  1 1 
r>cloi'k  nntil  l"  in  conversation  with  the  President, 
Mr.  Wiggin.  Tl'.ey  never  examined  a  book  or  a 
paper  of  tl;e  company,  or  aaked  to  see  one,  but."  after 
listening  to  the  story  of  the  President,  Mr.  Sherwood 
himself  stated  that  they  were  satidfied  that  the  man- 
airement  of  thi>  company,  bIdco  the  retirement  of  Mr. 
Widkelev,  had  been  judicioan.  If  mv  management 
f>'  the  affttirs  of  the  Charter  Oak  Life  Insnrance  Com- 
pany wa-i  recklew,  ctul-I  and  criminal,  then  the  fol- 
Jowing  flgures  are  lies.  If.  on  the  other  hand,  the 
Jieures  are  true,  then  the  thousand  and  one  stories 
woich  have  Iften  published  broadcast  throtigh  the 
land  respecting  my  management  are  infamotialy 
fa.!?e  and  malicious.  I  assert  that  the  figures  pub- 
lish d  below  are  substantially  true  ;  if  thej  are  not 
true,  I  call  upon  the  present  managers  of  the  com- 
pany, who  are  men  of  eminent  respectability, 
TO  state  wherein  they  are  fabie.  More, 
overaa  Hon.  William  Bross  seems  to  be  de- 
tirnu.'i  .of  being  a  champion  in  the  eanse  of 
the  Charter  OaK  Life  Insurance  Company,  I  dare 
him  or  Rev.  Dr.  W.  H.  Rvder  or  Mr.  George  Sher- 
•w.»od — either,  anv,  or  all  of  them — ^to  meet  me  in 
Hartford  at  any  time  they  may  appoint,  and  there 
make  the  necessary  afUdavlta  which  will  implicate 
me  in  any  criminal  transactions  in  connection  with 
mv  management  of  the  company.  Now,  If  on&-half , 
f.fimetentb  part  of  what  these  gentlemen  have  as- 
Fdrted  is  true,  then  I  am  pullty  of  criraea  which  will 
wnd  me  to  State  Prison  in  the  State  of  Coimecticut, 
and  it  becomes  the  duty  of  these  gentlamen  who 
liave  so  openly  avowed  their  porpoae  and  Intention 
in  this  narticjlar  matter  to  meet  mo  in  Hartford  and 
make  tne  necessary  charges.  And  furthermore,  I 
will  say  that  this  they  mo-st  and  shall  do,  or  they 
f  hall  suffer  as  much  for  their fslsehood  as  I  hav»  suf- 
fere<i  bv  reason  of  the  same.

cluded the  sum  of  $800,000  for  mortgages  contrib- 
uted by  me  to  the  company,  for  which  I  had  received 
from  the  company  at  that  time  only  the

H-  J.  FtJEBER. 
New- York,  Tuesday,  Aug,  14,  1877. 
In  eonversation  with  a  reporter  of  Thx  Tms 
yesterday  afternoon,  Mr.  Farber  bitterly  denounced 
the  way  In  which  he  has  been  treated  generally  for 
more  than  a  month,  but  spoke  with  a  great  deal  of 
satisfaction  of  the  action  toward  Mm  by  Sir.  H.  C. 
Tmmbnll,  J^r.,  of  Baltimore,  who  was  the  Secretary 
of  the  General  Committee  of  Policy-holders  that 
met  in  EEartf ord.  In  explanation  of  his  thankfulness 
to  Mr.  TrumbnIl  he  exhibited  a  letter,  from  which 
the  following  extract  is  mode  : 

BAI.TIMOBB,  Ang.  1,  1877. 
ff,  J.  Furber,  Hag. : 

Dkas  Sir:  I  was  one  of  a  committee  of  3£ary- 
land  policy-holders  in  the  Charter  Oak  Life  Insar- 
ance  Company  who  went  to  Hartford  to  examine  the 
affairs  of  that  institution,  and  I  frankly  tell  you  that 
I  arrived  in  that  city  with  as  strong  a  prejudice 
against  you  as  one  man  can  have  against  another, 
and  was  not  only  prepared,  but  fully  de- 
termined, to  expose  to  the  ntmost  of  my 
power  what  I  conceived  to  be  enormoa« 
rascalities  on  your  part.  After  a  full  and  searching 
Investiga^on  of  the  affairs  of  the  company,  and  more 
partlc^arly  those  in  which  yon  were  concerned,  J  be- 
came convhiced  that  I  had  done  yon  a  great  injustice 
in  my  own  mind.  I  think  It  but  due  to  you  to  say 
that,  in  my  estimation,  you  have  been  the 
victim  of  an  unjust  and  bitter  persecution,  such  as 
would  have  impelled  me,  had  I  been  in  your 
position,  to  nght  to  the  last  extremity, 
even     regardless      of      the      Interests      of      the 

Csy-holders,  in  defense  of  my  own  good  name, 
t  you  have  consulted,  as  you  have,  the  good  of 
all  the  policy-holders  at  a  sacrifice  of  your  own  feel- 
ings, by  the  entire  aurrender  of  your  personal  inter- 
ests in  the  company,  cannot,  I  think,  be  too  highly 
commended.  I  also  desire  to  bear  testimony  to  the 
great  service  jrou  did  the  company  during  your  con- 
nection with  It  by  increasing  its  available  interest- 
bearing  bonds  to  the  extent  of  $1,000,000.  I  am. 
Sir.  most  sincerely  yours, 

H.  C.  TRtJMBtJLL.  Jr. 
In  concluding  his  remarks  with  reference  to 
Messrs.  Bross,  Ryder,  and  Sherwood,  Sir.  Furber 
said  that  those  gentlemen  will  now  either  have  to 
"fish,  cut  bait,  or  go  ashore."  In  other  words,  they 
must  either  make  their  charges  against  him  in.  legal 
form,  or  retract  them  entirely.

TWO  PBOTHACTED  MEETINGS  OP  TBI  JOINT 
t  COMsrirTEE      YESTERDAY    WITHOITT      RE- 

SX7LT — THE  PARTICIPANTS  RETICENT — AN 
ADJ0I^R>'MENT  UNTIIi  MONDAY. 
The  committees  of  the .  Western  Union  and 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph  Companies,  appointed 
with  a  view  to  the  proposed  consolidation  or  pooling 
of  earnings,  met  in  secret  in  the  rooms  of  the  Union 
Trust  Company  at  10  o'clock  yesterday  morning, 
and  remained  in  session  until  2:30  P.  M.  Mr.  Orton 
was  one  of  the  first  to  come  out.  Seeing  the  report- 
ers waiting,  he  immediately  returned  and  addressed 
a  few  words,  apparently  of  caution,  to  Mr.  Vander- 
bilt.  Gen.  Eckert,  ex-Gov.  Morgan.  Mr.  Kusaell  Sage, 
and  ench  of  the  oth»-r  meaiUers  of  tht*  committee  as 
they  fllpd  out.  The  result  waa  that  it  was  impossi- 
hle'to  obtain  any  information  from  any  of  them  as 
to  the  pr<>ceedings,  except  that  no  conclusion  had 
l>een  reached,  and  that  another  meeting  was  to  take 
place  last  evening — where,  all  refused  to  sar.  It  L* 
probablf  that,  after  discmsshm,  the  adjournment  was 
taken  in  order  to  admit  of  a  modification  of  the 
proposition,  so  that  it  .iftight  conform  to  the  views 
expressed  by  the  majority.  Mr.  Sage,  however,  who 
holds  the  controlling  intere^it  in  Atlantic  and  Pacific 
stock,  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that  it  will  be  some  time 
before  the  negotiations  are  brought  to  any  definite 
conclusion.  On  t^e  street,  all  sorts  of  rumors  In 
regard  to  the  conference  were  afloat. 

The  second  me^^ilng  took  place  In  Mr.  Vander- 
bllt's  rooms  in  the  "W'indsfir  HoteL  There  was  a  full 
attendanceofbothroromittecs.  including  Messrs.  Sage, 
Vanderbllt,  Scheil.  Morcan,  Dillon,  and  Sampson. 
Messrs.  Oonld,  Keone,  Orton,  and  Eckert  were  also 
present.  The  session  commenced  at  8  o'clock, 
and  lasted  until  11:30.  It  was  strictly  private. 
At  its  conclnaion  tho  persona  in  attendance  were  ex- 
tremely reticent  as  to  the  nature  of  the  proceedings. 
It  waa  learned,  however,  that  no  conclusion  was  ai^ 
^Hved  at,  and  that  another  meeting  on  the  subject  is 
to  be  held  on  Monday  next.  Mr.  Orton  said  that 
everything  was  progTeaalng  favorably  with  a  proba- 
bility of  final  agreement.  Mr.  Sage  said  that  the 
members  of  the  committees  were  as  far  anart 
in  their  \-iews  as  when  thev  started.  Mr.  Gould 
said.  "  WelL  they've  kind  of  collapsed."  A  bystand- 
er remarked  jokingly  that  it  was  carious  that  such  a 
calamity  shonid  befall  men  representing  such  enor- 
mous wealth,  whereat  Mr.  Gould 
rejoined:  "They'  may  not'^-be  so  rirl 
morrow  morning."  Ex-Gov.  Morgan  said :  "I 
don't  think  I  will  tell  yon  '"anything  to-night 
It  wouldn't  do  you  any  good.*'  The  others  refused 
to  impart  any  information  whatever.  All  unani- 
mously declined  to  state  the  nature  of  the  proposi- 
tions discussed — whether  it  was  to  be  a 
consolidation,  a  pooling  of  earnings,  or  a 
sale  of  Atlantic  and  Pacific  stoc^  to  the 
Western  Tnion  Company.  Mr.  Keene  subsequently 
while  standing  at  the  bar  of  the  hotel  said  with  em- 
phasis that  be  held  enough  stock  to  control  the  ne- 
gotiations and  that  he  would  not  let  it  go  unless  his 
terms  were  complied  with.  What  those  terms  were 
he  did  not  announce.  In  passing  out,  he  and  Gould 
met  in  the  corridor.  Gould  vtdked  by  without  no- 
ticing his  enemy,  but  Keene  turned  his  head  and 
scowled  at  the  little  man  until  he  reached  the  door. 

MR.  WEST  TELLS  JTBAT  BE  HAS  DOXE  FOR 
THE  XEQRO. 
The  Dayton  (Ohio)  Journal  prints  corre- 
spondence between  a  colored  man  and  Judge  William 
H.  West,  tj*<feepublican  candidate  for  Governor,  in 
which  theiatter  says  :  ' '  Your  sincere  words  of  con- 
gratnlatjpn  give  me  the  liveliest  pIeasiHt>.  I  have 
endeavored  to  render  your  people  some  service.  In 
1854,  Deforethe  Republican  Party  had  crystallized 
into  organic  form,  I  united  In  founding  and  conduct- 
ing the  first  Republican  newspaper  in  Logan.County 
and  about  the  first  in  the  State,  the  Bellefontaine 
RepubKeaan.  In  1855,  I  advocated  the  nomination  of 
ilr.  Chase  for  Governor.    In  1S62  I  conducted  the 

Congressional  campaign  in  this  district  on  the  basis 
of  the  emancipation  prt>clamation.  and  in  January, 
1863,  delivered  a  speech  in  the  Ohio  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives in  its  defcDse,  which  I  wish  you  could  see. 
In  1807,  I  delivered  an  address  in  the  evening  be- 
fore the  Republican  State  Convention  at  Columbus, 
advocating  impartial  manhood  suffrage,  a^  copy  of 
which  I  send  von,  and  which  I  should  not  regret  to 
have  republished  now.  These  principles  I  have  sup- 
ported and  defended  from  the  deepest  convictions  of 
right  and  the  highest  sense  of  justice,  without  ostAn- 
tatlen,  and  bat  allude  to  these  incidents  in  my  life 
beeause  of  the  kind  words  you  have  spoken." 

CHILDREN  ly  A  TIQUT PLAGE. 
The  Bangor  (Me.)  W'Aty  of  the  13th  inat.  aays: 
**  On  Saturday  morning  a  strange  accidenji  happened 
at  a  small  boardlng-honae  at  the  foot  of  Union-street. 
A  little  boy,  a  year  and  a  half  old,  named  Jimmie 
Bussell,  walked  out  of  the  rear  door  of  the  house, 
and  went  in  between  two  buUdinga,  which  are  only 
about  nine  inches  apart  at  one  end,  and  very  much 
less  at  the  other,  until  he  wedged  himself  in,  so  that 
he  could  not  move  either  way.  His  mother  discov- 
ered where  be  wua,  but  cotild  not  get  to  him.  His 
sister,  about  12  years  old,  went  up  stairs,  and  at- 
tempted to  go  down  to  his  assistance ;  she  gvt  down 
so  she  could  reach  him,  but  at  this  point  she  slipped, 
and  was  so  fastened  that  it  was  Impossible  for  her  to 
move.  A  Inrge  crowd  congregated,  but  it  was  found 
impossible  for  any  one  to  get  in  between  the  build- 
ings, and  the  children  were  obliged  to  remain  in  their 
uncomfortable  quarters  ontU  a  place  about  three  feet 
square  had  been  sawed  out  of  the  side  of  the  house,

SabatooAj  Ang.  14.— Tho  second  day's  sport 
of  the  August  meeting  was  very  brilliant.  Under 
the  influence  of  an  undondsd  sky,  a  bracing  atmos- 
phere, and  an  attraetive  programme,  the  man- 
agers' expectations  in  regard  to  a  large  at- 
tendaaee  were  folded.  The  (}rand  Stand 
was  crowded,  and  the  track  was  very  fast. 
The  enjoyment  c^  the  spectators  .was  eon- 
sidenibly  marred,  however,  by  the  long  delay  in  the 
first  and  second  races  and  the  wretched  efforts  of  the 
official  starter,  Ht.  Puryeitr,  who,  to  teU  the  truths 
has  been  a  lamentable  failure.  He  left  Baden  Baden 
at  the  post  in  the  Kenner  Stakes,  when  there  was 
not  the  least  necessity  for  it,  and  was  the  indi- 
rect eanse  of  rendering  a  valuable  horse  naelesB. 
If  hisses  were  a  prophylaotio  for  bad  starting  Mr. 
Poryear  would  certainly  improve,  for  he  reeelved 
more  of  them  than  were  ever  heard  on  this  traok  be- 
fore. The  day  was  one  of  slaughter  for  the  knowing 
ones,  as  only  one  favorite  was  sueeessfnl,  and  that 
was  Parole.  Pierre  Lorillard  was  the  lucky  man  of 
the  day,  and  Evans,  who  rode  Bszil.  wu  rewarded 
with  $200  for  the  successful  mount.  The  first  race, 
in  the  mutual  pools,  paid  $17  50.  the  second  $28  30, 
the  third  $7  20,  and  the  fourth  §52  40,  for  ereiy  $5 
invested. 


THE  RACING  IX  DETAIL. 

THE   THREE-QUABTKHS  DASH, 

The  day's  entertainment  was  begun  with  a 
dash  of  three-quarters  of  a  mile  for  maiden  2-year 
olds,  which  brought  nine  youngsters  to  the  i>ost, 
namely.  Jet,  Bnncaii  F.  Kenner,  Lexington  filly, 
Invercauld  fiHy,  Clifton,  Danieheff,  Eugene  N.  Rob- 
inson, Hildegarde,  War  Dance-Fly  filly,  and  En- 
quirer-I*l8ure  filly.  Of  this  lot  Hildegarde  was 
the  favorite,  as  it  was  given  out  that  she  was  con- 
sidered the  best  of  Lorillard's  2-year  olds.  Jtist 
before  the  start  she  hrougbt  $155,  Clifton 
$140,  Withers'  $55,  McDaniel's  $40.  Danl- 
cheff  $45,  Duncan  F.  Kenner  $30,  Jet  $25, 
and  Eugene  N.  Robinson  $25.  They  were  mnstered 
in  the  chute,  and  there  was  considerable  delay  In 
getting  them  together,  owing  to  the  ugly  disposition 
of  DanichefT.  At  the  third  attempt  they  broMe  away 
together,  but  Dsnlrheff  held  back,  and  the  specta- 
tors began  to  nianlfeift  their  impatience  by  stamping 
their  feet.  After  a  few  more  attempts  they  were 
sent  away  In  close  order,  Mr.  Crouse  making  the 
best  2-year  start  of  the  meeting.  Kenner  was  quick- 
est on  his  feet,  and  was  slightly  leading  the  Fly 
tilly.  with  Clifton  third,  Hildegarde  fourth,  and 
Danlcbeff.  in  the  rear  of  the  lot.  Aa 
they  ran  down  the  chute  the  Fly  flUy  ran 
to  the  front,  and  was  followed  by  Clifton.  When 
they  turned  into  the  regular  track,  at  the  half-mile 
pole,  the  Fly  flUy  was  leadinc  a  length,  while  Kenner 
was  second,  half  a  length  In  front  of  Clifton,  fol- 
lowed by  Robinson  fourth,  Hildegarde  fifth,  and  the 
Enquirer  filly  sixth.  Coming  round  the  lower  lum, 
Clifton  passed  Into  the  second  place  and  ohallenged 
the  Fly  filiy,  but  the  latter  led  him  a  length  at  the 
three-quarter  pole ;  Robinson  was  still  third,  while 
Withers'  filly  waa  fourth,  and  Hildegarde  fifth. 
AVhen  they  came  up  the  stretch  the  Flv  filly  and 
Clifton  came  away  from  the  others,  and  the  race 
was  between  them.  Clifton,  however,  lasted  the 
longer  of  the  two.  and  won  the  race  by  three-quarters 
of  a  length,  in  1:174^ 

THE   KENXEB  STAKE. 

The  second  event  was  the  Kenner  stake  for  3-year 
olds,  two  miles,  which  dosed  with  63  nominations. 
This  is  one  of  the  most  important  stakes  of  the  sea- 
son, and  consequently  there  was  a  vast  amonnt  of 
interest  manifested  regarding  it.  When  the  judges 
sununoned  the  starters  to  the  track  there  were  nine 
of  them,  as  follows:  Major  Parker,  St-  James.  Susque- 
hanna, Baill,  Wash  Booth,  Baden  Baden,  Clover- 
brook,  Oriole,  and  Bushwhar.ker.  All  the  leading 
1r>ckeys  had  mounts,  including  Evans,  Hsyward, 
fughea,  and  Barbee,  and  when  the  horses  took  their 
prelimlnarj-  canters  along  the  stretch  their  move- 
ments were  followed  with  intense  interest.  The 
connoisseurs  lined  the  fence  to  take  a  look  at  them 
before  making  their  final  deposits  in  the  pool- 
box.  Baden  Baden  was  the  favorite,  and 
brought  $550;  Su.Hquehanna«  $250;  Bazll,  $215; 
Oriole,  $50 ;  Cloverbrook,  $40 ;  Bushwhacker, 
$50 :  McDaniel's  pair.  $50.  and  Wssh  Booth.  S50. 
'l^le^e  was  considerable  delay  in  getting  them  in  line. 
Tnej-  broke  away  twice  together,  but  the  starterfailed 
to  drop  his  flag,  which  so  exasperate*!  tiie  spectators 
that  they  again  gave  expression  to  their  impatience 
with  »heir  feet.  Eight  limes  did  the  horses  attempt 
4a_break  off,  and  finally  the  bridle  of  Wash  Booth 
gave  way,  causing  another  delay  of  10  minutes.  In 
the  meantime  the  jockeys  had  all  dis- 
mounted, and  the  horses  were  walked 
about.  After  11  attempu  altogether,  Mr. 
Pnryear  dropped  his  flag  while  Baden  Baden 
was  turned  the  other  way.  and  consequently  was  l*sf  t 
behind.  The  hisses  of  the  people  were  showered 
npon  the  starter  from  every  part  of  the  stand  be- 
cause of  his  shameful  proceedmg.  Oriole  was  in  the 
lead,  Wash  Booth  second,  and  Major  Barker  third. 
Sayres  got  Baden  Baden  turned  around  and  he  ran 
after  the  others.  On  the  turn,  St.  James  ran  to  the 
front  to  cut  out  the  running,  and  passed  the  quarter 
pole  two  lengtha  in  advance  of  Onole.  who  was  three 
lengths  away  from  Major  Barker,  with  Wash 
Booth  fourth.  Bazil  fifth.  Bush  whacker  sixth,  Stisqne- 
hanna  seventh,  Cloverbrook  eighth,  and  Baden  Baden 
far  behind.  As  they  went  along  the  back  stretch  St. 
James  rushed  away  as  fast  as  he  could,  and  reached 
the  half-mite  pole  something  like  a  himdred  yards  in 
front  of  Wash  Booth,  who  was  lapped  at  the  quarter 
by  Major  Barker,  who  waa  a  len^h  before  Bazll. 
Coming  around  the  lower  turn  ^V  ash  Booth  got  to 
^e  second  ptaee,  but  St.  James  kept  the  gap  open 
until  they  came  into  the  stretoh,  when  he  rommencfd 
to  lose  ground  very  faat,  and  the  others  closed  npon 
him.  When  he  reached  the  judge's  stand,  finishing 
the  first  mile,  St.  James  waa  showing  only  eight 
lengths  In  front  of  Susquehanna,  who  waa  a  length 
before  Oriole,  she  beine  three  lengths  in  front  of 
Wash  Booth,  who  was  followed  by  (Cloverbrook  fifth, 
while  Baden  Baden  had  moved  up  gradually  from  his 
place  in  the  rear  and  waa  running  sixth.  St.  James 
continued  to  fall  back  on  the  torn,  aud  when  they 

fiSRsed  the  quarter  pole  he  was  ahowing  only  two 
ength*  ahead  of  Susquehanna,  who  was  a  length 
ahead  of  Oriole,  she  being  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Wash  Booth,  while  Baden  Baden  had  moved  up  even 
with  Basil.  As  they  went  along  the  back  stretch, 
Baden  Baden  ran  throngh  the  field  of  horses  as  if 
they  were  standing  still,  amid  the  oheers  and  shouts 
of  the  spectators,  and  when  they  reached  the  half- 
mile  pole  St.  James  wai  leading  only  half  a  length, 
Susquehanna  lecond,  lapped  by  Baden  Baden,  and 
Wash  Booth  fourth.  The  spectatora  w^ere  beside 
them.solvea  with  excitement  at  the  magnificent  show 
made  by  Baden  Baden,  and  his  backers  were  in  high 
glee.  He  was  coming  to  the  front  on  the  turn  when 
auddenly  he  dropped  back  and  broke  down  in 
his  on  fore  leg.  Suwiuehanna  now  oame 
to  the  front  by  a  length,  with  St.  Jamas  second  and 
Wash  Booth  third,  and  the  backers  of  the  Belmont 
colors  were  in  turn  elated,  but  only  for  a  short  time, 
as  when  the  horses  turned  into  the  home  stretch, 
Major  Barker  and  Bazil  moved  np  fast«  fol- 
lowed by  Bushwacker,  and  it  became  doubt- 
ful as  to  the  result.  As  they  approached  the 
stand  it  looked  as  if  Major  Barker  would  win, 
but  Bazil  was  with  him,  and  the  pair  were  lapped  at 
the  four  mile  distance  stand,  and  the  others  were 
beaten.  In  the  run  home  Evans  brought  Bazil  to  the 
front  and  vron  the  race  by  a  short  length  in  3:'iS^. 
Major  Barker  was  a  length  before  Bushwacker, 
who  was  just  abend  of  Susquehanna  fourth,  St. 
James  fifth.  Wash  Booth  sixth.  The  first  mile  was 
run  in  l:4.d^.  Ko  race  ever  gave  more  dissatisfac- 
tion, aud  the  *'  blessings"  showered  upon  the  de- 
voted head  of  the  starter  will  not  be  easily  forgotten 
by  him. 

THE  MILE  AND  A  HALF  RACE. 
The  third  event  was  the  mile  and  a  half  for  all 
ages,  to  carry  100  potmds,  which  had  four  entries, 
but  Tom  Ochiltree  having  been  scratched,  the  only 
starters  were  Parole,  Vlrglnius,  and  Glasgow.  It 
was  considered  a  one-sided  affur,  and  Parole  sold  for 
$350,  Virginlus  $175,  and  Glasgow  $80.  The  race 
being  a  mile  and  a  half,  they  were  mustered  at  the 
half-mile  pole,  and  Mr.  Crouse  officiated  as  starter. 
He  soon  sent  them  on  their  journey,  when  Parol© 
shot  away  in  the  lead,  and  was  soon  leading  Vir- 
ginlus by  a  length  and  a  half,  and  tliV^lstter  was  the 
same  distance  in  front  of  Glasgow.  Parole  kept  cut- 
ting out  the  work  round  tne  ttim  and  up  the 
stretch.  and  Evans  finding  the  psoe  too 
hot  for  Virginlus,  took  a  pull  and  al- 
lowed Glasgow  to  take  the  second  posi- 
tion. When  "^they  reached  the  stand  Parole  was  a 
length  in  front  of  Glasgow,  who  waa  three-quarters 
of  a  length  before  Vlrginius,  who  was  under  a  pull. 
Going  round  the^tum  Parole  began  to  leave  his  com- 
-petitors,  and  reached  the  quarter  pole  two  lengths 
ahead  of  Glasgow,  who  was  a  len^^  in  advance  of 
Virginlus.  Going  along  the  baok  stretch,  Evans 
found  that  it  would  not  do  to  wait  any  longer,  and 
was  obliged  Xn  let  Virginlus  have  his  head.  Ho 
'Soon  passed  GhM^gow,  but  Ms  efforts  to  catch 
Parole  were  in  vain.  At  the  half-mile 
pole  the  latter  was  leading  two  lengtha, 
Virginlus  being  the  same  distanee  Khea^f  Glasgow. 


TEE  PMJLADELPBIA  EXHIBTTIOy. 
The  Philadelphia  Tinux  of  Tuesday  speaks  aa 
follows  of  the  Permanent  £xhtbition :  "  The  manage- 
ment is  being  thoroughly  reorganized,  and  in  a  few 
days  an  official  statement  of  the  financial  condition  of. 
the  show  will  be  published.  The  company  vras  started 
with  a  nominal  capital  of  $600,000,    consisting    en-

of  the  Supreme  Court  this  would  bo  worfh  about 
$480,000,  but  its  value  now  hardly  exceeds  $160,- 
000.  In  addition  to  this  are  cash  subscriptions  to 
stock  amounting  to  $105,000,  making  a  total  of 
$i6e,000,  which  is  only  $15,000  more  than  tho 
cost  of  the  Main  Building.  The  show  has  not  paid

OP  THE  PRIEST. 

A  great  deal  of  excitement  prevaila  In  the 
town  of  Vineland,  K.  J.,  over  the  conduct  of  a  Oath- 
olio  priest  who  has  announced  adeterminatlon  to 
remove  from  the  cemetery  of  his  parish  the  body  of 
a  man  who  died  recently  without  having  attended 
to  certain  duties  prescribed  by  the  religion 
he  professed.  The  priest  is  the  Bev. 
Father  Virot,  Pastor  of  the  Church  of 
the  Sacred  Heart.  He  is  an  Italian  by  birth,  and 
ministers  to  a  congregation  composed  in  great  part 
of  his  countr^'men.  The  dead  man  was  Joseph  Mag- 
^oli,  also  an  Italian.  He  had  been  sick  for  18 
months  previous  to  his  death.  Though  he  always 
acknowledged  himself  a  member  of  the  Koman  Cath- 
olic Church,  he  neglected  to  make  a  confession  of 
his  sins  at  last  Eastertide,  and  he  died  without  hav- 
ing received  the  rite  of  extreme  unction,  the  last 
sacrament  of  his  church.  During  hia  sicknees  his 
family  became  impoverished,  and  his  wife,  a  frail  and 
sickly  woman,  had  great  difficulty  to  provide^or  his 
needs  and  those  of  four  yoimg  children.  At  the  time  of 

his  death  his  hotise  was  almost  destitute  of  furni- 
ture, and  he  left  no  means  to  defray  the  expenses  of 
his  funeral.  Some  of  his  countrymen,  actuated  by  a 
benevolent  feeling,  aided  hia  family  for  some  time, 
and  one  of  them,  Mr.  Joseph  Sanguinltta,  a  com- 
paratively well-to-do  man,  li^'lng  on  liandis- 
avenue,  paid  for  the  srave  in  which 
Maa^ioli's  body  was  Interred-  Mr.  John  Moran,  one 
of  tho  Trustees  of  tho  Koman  Catholic  Church,  re- 
ceived the  money  for  the  grave,  and  no  objection  was 
made  by  Father  Vivet  to  the  interment  of  Mag- 
gioli's  body  in  "consucrated  ground."  Between 
Aug.  4,  when  the  funeral  took  place,  and  last 
Friday,  A\ig.  10,  the  pastor  appears  to  have  deter- 
mined that  the  bodv  ought  not  to  repose  with  the 
bones  of  "  faithful^'  CathoUca.  On  the  latter  date 
he  wrote  to  Mrs.  Maggioli  requesting  her,  "through 
courtesv"  merely,  to  remove  her  husband's  bray 
from  the  X^thoUc  Cemetery  beeause  Maggtou 
had  '  *  died  without  having  attended  to  his 
Easter  duty,  and  without  calling  for  a 
priest  during  his  sickness."  Father  vlvet  also 
informed  the  poor  widow  that  unless  the  corpse  was 
exhumed  before  Monday,  Aug.  13.  he  would  have  It 
taken  up,  and  charge  the  expense  to  her.  This  notice 
was  ser^'ed  by  a  constable,  which  fact  In- 
tensified her  fear  and  sorrow.  She  burst 
into  tears,  and  declared  that  she  had  no 
means  to  defray  the  expense  of  exhtmjing  the  body. 
She  declared  that  there  was  no  real  reason  on  the 
score  of  relitdon  for  the  removal  of  his  corpse,  as  her 
husband  had  always  been  a  CathoU'*,  and  only  failed 
to  ask  the  nUnlstry  of  a  priest  in  his  ainkness,  be- 
cause he  did  not  susnect  that  he  was  going  to  die. 

The  situation  of  tne  poor  woman,  and  the  bigoted 
action  of  the  priest,  were  brought  first  to  the  notice 
of  the  Italian  Society,  and  afteiward  to  that  of  the 
citizens  of  Vineland  generally,  and  it  was  determined 
by  them  Uiat  the  body  should  not  be  tonched. 
A  lawyer  was  employed,  who  immediately 
wrote  to  Father  •  Vivet,  notifying  him 
not  to  disturb  the  body,  nor  cause  it  to  bo  disturbed, 
on  penalty  of  punishment  in  accordance  with  the 
provision  of  paragraph  122  of  the  Revised  Statutes 
of  the  State  of  New-Jersey.  The  penalty  prescribed 
is  a  fine  of  $2i,(K)0,  or  imprisonment  at  hard  labor 
for  five  years,  or  both,  at  the  discretion  of  the  court. 

The  Italians  held  an  important  meeting  in  Vine- 
land  on  Sunday,  at  which  steps  were  taken  to  pre- 
vent the  Catholic  priest,  by  legal  or  other  means, 
from  carrying  out  his  threat  of  exhuming  the 
remains  of  Maegioll.  Father  Vlvet  visited 
Newark  on  Monday  to  consult  Bishop  Corrigan, 
but  the  result  of  tHe  visit  is  not  known.    He  U  at 

S resent  nncommunicative,  but  evidently  dings  to  his 
etermlnation  to  procure  the  removal  of  the  body. 
He  baa  abandoned  hia  first  position,  and  now  claims 
that  there  was  a  prior  sale  oi  the  grave,  whleh  invali- 
dates Mrs.  Ma^gioll's  rixht.  The  Italians,  and  In 
fact  all  the  inhabitants  of '  Vineland,  are  determined 
to  resist  the  exhumation  of  the  body.

RECEPTION  OP  VISITORS. 

The  forty-sixth  annual  session  of  the  New- 
Tork  Camp-Meeting  Association  was  formally 
opened  yesterday  on  the  old  grounds  at  Sing 
Sing.  In  consequence  of  the  unfavorable  weather, 
the  attendance  was  not  as  large  as  an- 
ticipated by  the  managers  of  the  meeting. 
However,  during  the  early  part  of  the  afternoon 
vehicles  of  every  description  began  to  arrive,  con- 
taining bedding,  sofas,  tables,  and  eamp-stoola,  which 
the-occupants  of  the  nnmeroua  tents  immediately  be- 
gan to  arrange  In  their  canvass  habitations.  Yester^ 
day  over  100  tents  had  been  erected,  a  larger  number 
than  had  been  seen  on  tho  grounds  for  a  number 
of  years.  During  the  afternoon  the  hacks  at 
the  depot  were  in  great  demand  by  large  numbers  of 
people  from  surrounding  towns  journeying  to  the 
camping  gnmnds.  The  congregations  prlndpally 
taking  an  active  part  in  the  meeting  are  uxose 
belonging  to  the  JJew-Vork  and  New- York  East  Con- 
ferences. Joel  Sammia  and  Rev.  A.  C.  Morehouse 
compose  the  Managing  Oommitteo,  and  the  religious 
exercises  are  tmder  the  direction  of  Rev.  Dr. 
James  Porter,  of  the  New-Kngland  Conference, 
who  will  preside  at  all  of  the  services. 
The  principal  stand,  and  the  one  from  which  most  of 
the  sermons  will  be  delivered,  is  in  front  of  the  vesti- 
bule of  a  frame  builalnp,  where  during  the  course  of 
the  meeting  the  officiating  minuiters  will  lodge  and 
board.  A  restaurant  and  numerous  refreshment 
booths  are  erueted  on  the  grounds,  and  all  sorts  of 
temperance  drinks  can  be  obtained.  The  expenres  of 
the  meeting,  it  is  expected,  will  be  defrayed  by  the 
yearly  rental  received  from  the  occupants  of  the  cot- 
tages and  lessees  of  the  tents,  and  by  the  contribu- 
tions taken  up  at  each  of  the  services. 

There  will  be  three  services  during  the  day  ;  one  at 
10  o'clock  A-  M^another  at  2  o'clock  P.  M.,  and 
another  at  7:45  P.  M.  The  exereisea  will  consist  of 
sacred  music,  the  reading  of  the  Scrintures,  and 
preaching.  At  the  conclusion  of  tho  regular  services 
prayer  meetings  will  be  conducted  In  diiferent  parts 
of  the  grove  by  laymen.  The  open- 
air  auditorium  in  front  of  the  ptupit, 
will  comfortably  seat  over  2,000  persons,  and  several 
hundred  more  can  be  accommodated  in  the  aisles  and 
open  spaces.  Amone  the  ecclesiastical  dignitaries  of 
the  Methodist  Episcopal  Chtirch  who  are  expected  to 
be  present  while  the  meeting  Is  in  progress  are  Bishops 
Harris  and  Foster.  Among  the  clergymen  present 
yesterday  were  Rev.  Dr.  Fowler,  editor  of  tbe  Ohris- 
tian  Advocate ;  Rov.  Mr.  Taylor,  of  New-Rochelle ; 
Hev.  Dr.  Charles  K-  True,  of  Flushing,  Long 
Island,  uid  Rev.  Dr.  Sims,  of  Brooklyn. 
There  was  also  present  an  old  gentleman  who  was 
one  of  the  original  subscribers  to  the  fund  for  the 
purchase  of  the  ground,  and  who  has  attended  al- 
most evcrj'  camp-meeting  for  tbe  last  46  years  held 
under  tho  atispices  of  the  association  since  its  incep- 
tion. 

The  meeting  was  opened  at  3  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon in  the  tabernacle,  the  open  air  meeting  having 
been  abandoned  on  account  or  the  dampness  of  the 
ground.  Di  response  to  the  tolling  of  a  bell  about 
150  persons  assembled.  The  sei-vices  w^e  opened 
by  Rev.  Mr.  Hunt,  who,  after  the  singing  of  a  hymn, 
made  a  very  fervent. J)r^,er,  during  the  course  of 
which  the  male  portion  of  his  hearers  became  consid- 
erably agitated,  and  interrupted  him  with  ejacula- 
tions of  "Amen."  "Hallelujah,"  Jtc.  At  its  conclu- 
sion Dr.  C.  K.  True  preached,  taking  his  text  from 
the  eleventh  verse  of  the  thirteenth  chapter  of  St. 
Paul's  Epistle  to  the  Romans. 

In  the  evening  another  service,  which  was  well  at- 
tended by  the  persons  present  on  tbe  grounds^  waa 
held. 

The  "Widow  Van  Cott  has  been  invited  to  preach, 
and  has  signified  her  willingness  to  do  so  on  Friday 
next.  It  IS  expected  that  a  very  large  assemblage 
will  be  present  to  hear  her  discourse.  It  la  believed 
that  to-day  all  of  the  cottages  and  tents  will  be  filled 
and  the  meeting  fully  under  way.  The  groimds  are 
beautifully  located,  and  every  aaoommodation  is 
afforded  the  vixitora.  The  meeting  will  be  pro- 
longed for  10  days-

LAW. 
AlbaXT,  Aug.  14. — ^Following  lire  nine  of 
the  Bemi-anniul  reports  of  the  City  swings 
banks,  as  made  to  the  Superintendent  of  tbe 
Banking  Department,  showing  their  condition 
on  the  morning  of  the  1st  day  of  July,  1877. 
From  the  indication!,  the  present  July  state- 
ment will  be  a  pleasing  one  to  tlie  patrons  of 
these  institntlans.  Comparisons  are  made, 
with  the  reports  of  Jan.  1,  1877,  of  the  three 
most  important  items,  namely :  Due  depoaitora, 
surplus,  and  number  of  -  open  aecounto.  The 
present  reports  are  the  first  made  under  the 
provisions  of  the  General  Savings  Bank  law,  as 
amended  Hay  10,  1877.  Though  passed  in 
May,  the  amendment  did  not  take  effect  until 
July  1,  1877.  The  law  as  it  now  stands  pro- 
hibits the  payment  to  depositors  of  a  rate  of 
interest  in  excess  of  5  per  cent,  per  annum,  and 
whenever  any  dividen^or  interest  shall  be  de- 
clared and  credited  in  excess  of  the  interest  or 
profits  earned  and  appearing  to  the  credit  of  the 
bank,  the  Trustees  voting  for  such  dividend  shall 
be  jointly  and  severally  liable  to  the  bank  for  the 
amount  of  such  excess  so  declared  and  credited. 
it  also  Tnakes  it  the  duty  of  the  Trustees  of  any 
savinfp?  bank  whose  surplus  amounts  to  15  per 
cent,  of  its  deposits,  at  least  once  in  three  years, 
to  divide  equitably  the  accumulation  beyond 
such  authorised  surpliLS  as  an  extra  dividend  to 
depositors  in  excess  of  the  regular  dividends. 
In  determining  surplus  its  interest-paying  stocks 
and  bonds  cannot  to  estimated  above  tbeir  par 
value  or  atwve  their  market  value  if  below  par ; 
bonds  and  mort(rages  not  in  arrears  of  interest 
for  a  longer  period  than  six  months  .shall  be  es- 
timated at  their  face,  and  Its  real  estate  at  not 
above  cost.  The  Superintendent  of  the  Bank- 
ing Department  is  required  to  determine  the 
valuation,  from  tbe  best  information  he  can  ob- 
tain, of  the  stocks  or  bonds  and  mortgages  that 
are  in  arrears  of  interest  six  months  or  more. 
He  is  also  required  to  determine  the  valne 
of  all  other  Investments  not  enumerated. 
It  further  provides  that  each  savings  bank 
shall  make  a  report  in  writing  to  the 
Superintendent  of  the  Banking  Department 
in  such  form  as  he  shall  prescribe,  of  its  con- 
dition on  the  mornings  of  January  and  Jtily  1 
of  each  year,  said  reports  to  be  made  qp  or  be- 
fore February  and  Aug.  1.  It  also  makes 
it  the  duty  of  the  Trustees  of  savings  banks, 
by  a  committee  of  not  less  than  three  of  their 
number,  on  or  before  tho  lat  day  of  Janaary 
and  July  in  each  year,  to  examine  tbe  books, 
vouchers,  and  assets,  and  its  afEairs  generally, 
and  such  examination  shall  be  verified  by  the 
oath  of  a  majority  of  the  Trustees  making 
such  examinatiou,  and  the  statement  of  asseta. 
and  liabilities  reported  to  the  Superintendent 
shall  be  based  on  such  examination.  The  last 
provision,  which  is  really  cjje  of  the  most 
wholesome  of  the  amended  law,  requires  the 
Trustees,  as  often  as  once  in  each  six  months, 
to  cause  to  be  taken  an  accurate  balance  ot  their 
depositors'  ledgers,  and  if  any  discrepancies 
exist  between  tne  amount  due  to  depositors,  as 
shown  by  such  balances,  and  the  amount  due 
to  depositors,  as  shown  by  their  general  ledger, 
the  fact  is  to  be  reported  to  the  Superintendent 
of  the  Banking  Department  in  their  semi-an- 
nual reports.  Had  this  provision  been  earlier 
made  a  portion  of  the  Savings  Bank  law  some 
of  the  faUores  of  the  past  three  years  would, 
doubtless,  have  been  averted.

A  BIRD  THAT  WALTZES. 
The  Kingston  Freeman  has  the  following^  story 
aboat  a  bird  in  the  ooUection  of  a  dealer  in  that  city : 
"This  bird  is  a  bobolink,  and,  it  seems,  took  as 
Datan&lly  to  d&neing  as  a  country  maiden  at  an  apple 
bee.  He  la  a  very  sprightly  bird,  and  thoagb  his 
owner  knew  he  wits  sometbhig  more  than  an  ordinary 
bird,  he  had  no  idea  that  he  could  waltz,  tuitiltOQe 
day,  while  whistling  a  German 'tune,  the  bird  sud- 
denly cocked  his  head  to  one  side,  and  with  a  kfTow- 
Jtiif  look  and  a  lively  '  Bobolink,  bobolink,  spink, 
spank,  Spink,'  commenced  to  w&Itx,  tAkinf  a  resrular 
step  of  'one,  two,  three,'  as  thoogh  he  had  in  bis 
minds  eye  even  the  artlatic  rules  of  tbe  dancing 
miuiter.  His  evolutions  were  very  graceful,  the 
whirl  each  time  l>ein§  made  off  the  perch,  as  it  were, 
only  his  toes  tonehin^  as  he  twirled  himself  eom- 
pletely  around.  This  is  a  good  illustration  that  our 
American  birds  are  fully  aa  wise  as  those  in  the  old- 
country,  if  not  more  so,  for  this  one  at  least  had 
never  been  taught  as  the  Oerxoan  birds  are.  The 
dancing  bird  is  moulting  now.  but  when  he  again  re- 
covers the  elifillcity  and  rlcor  of  his  body,  he  will, 
no  doubt,  give  some  new  exhibition  of  tcrpsichoreau 
skill." 


AKOTBER  KENTUCKY  MAD-STONE. 
The  Loaisvillo  Courier-tTournal  says:  *•  Mr. 
Hsrry  B.  PhilUpa,  who  resides  on  Third,  between 
Breckinridge  and  Kentncky  streets,  brought  to  this 
office  yesterday  a  mad-.stone  weighing  about  three 
ounces,  which  he  said  liad  been  preserved  by  his 
family  for  nearly  50  years.  The  mad-stone  bears  a 
little  resemblance  to  the  honeycomb,  except  that  it 
Is  oone-fihap'ed,  the  cells  at  the  hiUe  having  thick 
walls,  but  gradually  merging  into  a  more  solid  sub- 
stance as  they  approach  the  apex.  The  stone  has  a 
broad,  smooth  surface  at  the  base,  and  within  the 
little  cells  there  is  a  delicate  fibrous  substance  resem- 
bling the  pith  of  some  vegetable  product.  Mr.  Phil- 
lips said  tne  stoue  was  once  used  oy  an  aunt  of  his 
wlio  was  bitten  by  a  rabid  dog.  The  stone  was  first 
dipped  in  milk  and  then  applied  to  the  wound.  It 
stuck  to  the  part  like  a  leech  until  all  the  vims  was 
absorbed,  ana  then  dropped.  It  was  then  placed  in  a 
vessel  containing  hot  water,  and  qnickly  a.  dark 
greenish  substance  arose  from  it  and  spread  over  the 
surface,  this  being  the  test  that  the  wound  waa  filled 
with  the  virus  o7  the  mad.dog.  The  lady  recovered 
from  the  wound  without  asymptom  of  hydrophobia." 


A  WIFE'S  PRESEyilMEyr. 
The  following  atory  is  told  by  the  Phila- 
delphia Record  of  Monday :  "fFor  some  time  prior  to 
Friday  last  a  man  named  Israel  Rauenzahn  was  em- 
ployed as  a  brakaman  on  a  Quaker-engine  at  the 
Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railroad  siding,  at  Read- 
ing, and  on  the  dajr  in  qnestion  he  was  to  have  taken 
an  iron  ore  train  in  the  place  of  a  sick  mate.  Prior 
to  leaving  home  in  tbe  morning  liis  wife  ui^ed  him 
not  to  go.  remarWngthat  shenad  dreamed  in  the 
night  that  an  aceident  was  about  to  happen  to  him. 
He  lau^bed  at  her  fears  and  reached  the  train  in 
safety.  Shortly  afterward  he  had  to  uncouple  a  por- 
tion of  the  train  while  the  cara  were  In  motion. 
While  engaged  In  this  duty  he  was  suddenly  thrown 
off  the  rfSr  by  the  locomotive  increaKing  its  sjMed, 
and,  Jailing  on  the  track  with  his  head  over  the  ndl. 
It  waa  severed  from  the  body." 

A  RUNAWAY  JSTAQE-OOACH. 
The  PhiUdolphia  Record  says :  "  The  three- 
horse  Btage-eoaeh  which  runs  daily  from  Flaaaant- 
ville  to  Beading  had  prooeedod  but  a  little  distance 
on  ita  loomey  on  Saturdny  morning,  when  the 
bit  of  the  near  hind  horse  suddenly  cnapped. 
Thia  frightened  the  horse,  and  the  night 
commuuicfttins:  to  the  others,  the  team  dashed  off  at 
a  terrible  pace,  deranging  the  lock  arwi  brake  of  the 
converanee.  There  were  14  paa.^ngers,  men  and 
women,  and  of  these  one-half  jai]^>ed  Into  the  road, 
reoeiving  varioos  contusions,  one  lady  ha  jiArtiaiilar

QUEER  OPERATIOSS  WITH:  A  DRAFT. 
The  Buffalo  Commercial  Adveriiser  of  Monday 
fays:  "On  tho  6th  of  last  month  a  stranger  called 
at  the  Marine  Bank  of  this  city,  and  obtained  a  draft 
tor  $12  on  the  B&nk  of  Korth  America,  payable  to 
the  order  of  H.  J.  "Walker.  A  week  later  another 
■tran^r  called  at  the  same  bank  and  obtained  a  dtvf  t^ 
on  Kew-York  for$L200,  also  payable,  to  the  order 
of  H.  S.  Walker,  and  drawn  on  the  Hank  of  North 
America.  On  the  20th  the  individnal  who  got  thfi  _ 
last-mentioned  draft,  called  at  the  Marine  .Bank,  aaid 
he  was  unable  to  nae  the  draft  as  he  bad  intended, 
and  asked  that  the  enrrency  be  refunded  to  him  for 
it.  The  teller  recofnizing  him  as  the  person  who 
had  purchased  the  draft  gave  him  the  money  as  re- 
queeted,  and  handed  the  draft  to  the  book-keeper  who 
entered  it  on  the  boolcs  as  paid  and  put  it  into  ^^-^ 
drawer  of  canceled  vouchers.  Some  days  after  il]| 
it  wafl  dinrovered  that  the  draft  of  tho  6th  for  S>  -  - 
had  been  cleTwrly  altered  to  $  L  200,  and  a  dascnprion 
of  it  was  furnished  the  Marine  Bank  ty  ths 
Bank  of  North  America,  in  Its  monthly  statement. 
Thia  led  to  an  investigation,  and  it  was  found  that  the 
altered  note  waa  negotiated  at  Strathroy.  Ontario, 
with  Measrs.  A.  Johnston  &  Co.,  bankers  at  that . 
place,  who  aent  it  to  ihetr  ^ents  in  Kew-York, 
Meaars.  Smitber  Si   Watson,    who  had  it  certified  on 


on  the  10tfa,  and  adviaod  Johnston  k  Co.  by  telwra^ 
of  Ita  payment.  Johnston  A  Co.  then  settled  with 
Walker  tor  tbe  draft,  and  that  individual  left  for 
parta  tmknowix  Messrs.  Bmither  &  Watson  d<h 
posited  the  draft  in  the  Bank  of  New-York,  froni 
whence  It  passed  throuca  the  Clearing-house  and 
waa  paid  by  the  Bank  of  North  America  on  the  20th. 
'nie  <Iraft  negotiated  here  and  the  one  negotiated  at 
Strsthroy,  Ontario,  were  not  signed  in  the  aama  faaad' 
writing,  and  there  waa  probably  a  oonfedssato  al

THE  COLLEGTOH.  -^ 

Speci&l  Berena*-.  Depntf  ,  Brooks,  •'who  la 
jJiai^  with  thft  liiy»«tig»tion  of  OoUectop  Free- 
bud's  offlc«,  caOad  on  th*  CoUeetor  yestardax  xnoxn- 
hig  ftod  infoTzosd  Um  that  Ur.  SUvenxum,  by*  whom 
the  duttgM  hsT«  been  signed,  would  not  be  prepared 
to  take  part  in  the  Inreitlgatioa  before  Satiuday. 
The  Collector  replied  that  he  wa«  ready  then,  and 
had  beea  all  along,  to  turn  over  his  books  and  papers 
to  any  ofHeer  of  the  Qoremment  for  inspection. 
Mr.  Brooks  explained  that  it  had  not  been  his  fanlt 
that  the  examinatioa  had  not  already  taken  place. 
The  charges  liad  been  preferred  by  Mr.  Silvezman, 
KndtlLat  gentleman  had  asked  for  time  to  enable  h^-m 
to  mbetantiate  them.  Hence  the  delay.  It  appears 
now  that  there  wUlbeno  investigation  at  all.  The 
plmn.  that  is  to  be  adopted  Is  this :  Hr.  Silverman  will 
tobmit  siOdavits  in  support  of  Us  charges. 
Oopiei  of  these  affidavits  will  be  fnr- 
bUhed  to  Collector  Freeland,  together  with 
the  names  and  residences  of  the  witnesses 
whom  Mr.  Silverman  will  allege  he  can  prodnee.  Mr. 
freeland  will  then  read  over  Hr.  Silverman's  affida- 
Tlts,  and  take  his  own  time  and  his  own  way  to  ascer- 
tain if  there  is  any  fonndation  for  the  assertions 
which  they  may  contain.  Having  satisfied  himself 
that  they  are  based  on  erroneous  premises  in  every 
material  particnlor,  Mr.  Freeland  will  sit  down  and 
write  counter-affidavits  to  that  eifect,  will  get  the 
oamefl  and  residences  of  his  witnesses,  and  will 
band  the  documents  to  Mr.  Brooks.  Mr.  Brooks 
wUl  then  eaose  copies  of  them  to  be  made  for  the 
benefit  of  Mr.  Silverman,  who  in  turn  will  take  liis 
own  time  and  his  own  wav  to  find  outif  Mr.  Freeland 
Is  not  entirely  mistaken  (n  what  he  wUl  have  sworn 
to.  When  both  parties  have  got  through  with  their 
affidavits,  the  doooments  will  be  forwarded  to  C^^ti. 
Green  B.  R&um,  Commissioner  of.  In  tern  i^ 
Revenue.  He  will  read  them  over^.  examine 
the  principal  witnesses  on  both  sides,  and 
then  render  a  decision.  This  plan  is  jajd  to  have 
orieinated  with  Sir.  Silverman,  who  seems  to  think  it 
vill  occupy  less  time,  and  will  prove  more  satis- 
ftictory  thaii  the  old  way,  of  an  authorized  agent  of 
the  Ciovemment  listening  to  testlmonv  and  writing 
ont  a  long  report.  Collector  Freeland  is  not  alto- 
gether favorably  impressed  with  the  new  scheme, 
preferrlDg  that  Mr.  Brooks  or  some  other  official 
■hould  make  a  thorough  personal  inspection  of  his 
books  and  accounts,  and  then  summon  and  examine 
all  the  witnesses  he  sees  fit.  The  Collector  and  his 
accuser  will  meet  on  Saturday,  however,  tmd  the 
question  will  then  be  definitely  settled. 

Complaints  a^rainst  the  Collector's  ofSee  are  made 
In  the  newspapers  every  day.  One  correspondent,  a 
dgar-maker.  claims  that  he  is  compelled  to  pay  $3 
when  he  makes  a  bond,  and  tliat  when  he  pets  per- 
mission from  the  Collector's  office  to  let  his  yearly 
license  mn  a  few  days  over  the  time  he  is  taxed 
$7  50  for  the  privilege.  Mr.  Freeland  denies  all 
knowledge  of  the  charges  for  bonds,  but  says 
that  the  law  compels  him  to  ijiflict  a  penalty  of  oO 
per  cent,  in  cases  whore  taxes  are  not  paid  within  a 
specified  time.  Another  chaise  against  the  Collector 
Is  preferred  by  a  man  who  bought  a  number  of  sec- 
ond-hand beer- barrels  with  unerased  stamps  ontliem. 
While  he  was  Kcraping  the  stamps  off  a  Deputy  Col- 
lector seized  all  the  barrels  that  did  not  at  the  mo- 
ment happen  to  be  scraped,  and  carried  them  off. 
This  man  has  sued  the  Collector  for  his  property. 
Speaking  of  this  case,  Deputy  Collector  Boone  says 
he  was  instructed  by  the  Commissioner  of  Internal 
Revenue  to  seize  the  barrels,  as  the  purchaser  had  no" 
right  under  the  law  to  take  them  into  his  place  l>e- 
fnre  the  stamps  had  been  removed.  Collector  Free- 
hihd  says  all  the  other  charges  contain  even  less  point 
than  these,  and  can  be  more  easilv  refuted. 


STEAM-BOAT  DISASTEES. 
i>lCISI02TS  OP  THE  LOCAL  INSPECTORS  IK 
THBEE  RECENT  CASES — TEMPORABY  SUS- 
PENSIONS OP  MASTERS  AND  PILOTS. 
-  Messrs.  Austin  Jayne  and  John  K.  Mathews^ 
the  local  Steamboat  Inspectors,  of  No.  23  IHne- 
stToet,  have,  under  section  4,550  of  the  Revised 
Btatntea,  recently  held  an  Investigation  in  regard  to 
the  grounding  of  the  steam-boat  Xorwalk  on  the  night 
of  the  22d  of  hwt  July,  off  Bedloe's  Island,  and  they 
have  also  made  formal  Inqoiries  concerning 
the  colUslons  of  the  tug-boats  J.  X.  Thomp- 
•on  and  Commmodore  Dur>-ea,  in  the 
East  River,  near  Xowtown  Creek,  on  the 
25th  of  July,  and  of  the  passenger  steam- 
boats City  Point  and  Narragansett,  by  the_pler  of  the 
latter  boat  oa  the  2tith  of  June.  The  local  Inspec- 
tors, as  a  resolt  of  these  investigations,  have  now 
handed  to  Mr.  E.  Piatt  Stratton,  the  Supervising  In- 
sX>ector  of  Steam-boats  of  the  Second  United  States 
District,  their  reports  and  decisions  in  the  several 
'  eases.  In  regard  to  the  grounding  of  the  steam-boat 
Korwalk,  the  local  Inspectors  asc^prtained  during 
theirinqniry,  which  began  on  the  fil  antt-ended  on 
the  4th  inst.,  that  the  steam-bo^  .left  Bay  Ridge 
bonnd  for  Now- York  Citv  on  the  alfht  of  the.  22d  of 
Jnly.  at  9:47  o'clock,  "the  ni«ht  was  misty  and  she 
proceeded  cautiously  np  c  he  Bay  -,  but  the  fog  be- 
came very  dense,  and  finally  the  boat  grounded  on 
the  Jersey  Flats,  off  Bedloe'.s  Island.  The  tide  was 
then  at  ebb.  All  efforts  to  float  the  .vessel  were  un- 
availing nntU  the  tide  rose  sufficiently,  which  it  did 
between  4  and  5  o'clock  the  following  morning.  She 
then  proceeded  to  her  dock  and  landed  her  paasen- 
gers  (n  safety. 

While  the  steamer  was  yet  agronnd,  however,  some 
of  the  pa.<»engt:r3  pruposed  to  take  one  of  the  small 
boats  and  go  ashore.  They  discovered  tliat  there 
were  no  oars  or  thole-plns  in  the  boat,  and  a  couple 
of  paddles  were  improvised,  and  the  boat,  with  tliree 

fiassengers,  each  of  whom  had  a  life  preserver,  left 
he  Bteamer  and  disappeared  in  the  fog.  No  trace  of 
the  boat  or  its  passeugers  has  since  been  found,  and 
It  is  not  known  whether  they  j:E»ched.the  shore  or 
sot.  There  i*;  no  evidence  which  shows  that  the  boat 
was  overcrowded.  The  Inap^toxs  present  their  de- 
cision in  the  following  shapd-': 

"  "We  find  that  Xdwin  Hillver,  master,  la  guilty  of 
negiect  for  allowinK  the  small  bbata  to  be  without  their 
proper  equipment,  ror-whieh  we  naanend  big  boense  as 
maMer  aod  pitAt  far  the  tana  of  6U  days  from  date,  and 
it  Is  hereby  Buapended.  "We  also  ceiifiure  James  L.  Crane. 
pflot,  for  running  the  boat  la  m  tog  without  taking  the 
proper  sooztdings,  for  which  we  aospend  his  license  as 
pilot  for  the  term  of  30  days  from  diUe,  and  It  is  hereby 
so  suspended. 

"We  also  And  that  the  Btf^mer  was  fuUV  equipped  inj 
aecordante  with  the  requirements  of  the  law  on  lhe~8th^ 
of  June  the  date  of  the' last  lasi>ection."  ' 

The  investigation  Into  the  collision  of  the  Narra- 
gansett  and  the  City  Point  began  on  the  24th  of  Jnly 
and  eloaed  on  the  30th.  The  Inspectors  listened  to 
Binch  conflicting  and  contradictory  evidence.  The 
Gty  Point,  they  aa<'ertained,  was  on  her  return 
trip  from  the  Fishing  Banks,  and  had  landed  part  of 
her  passengers  at  Pier  No.  2.  North  River,  and  was 
proceeding  up  the  river  to  land  again  at  Pier  No.  52. 
jforth  River.  When  off  Pier  No.  29  the  pilot  heard 
a  long  whistle,  which  he  found  proceeded  from  the 
steamer  Narragansett,  which  was  lying^n  the  lower 
aide  of  Pier  No.  33,  her  stem  6eing  about 
40  feet  inside  the  end  of  the  pier. 
The  pilot  of  the  City  Point  blew  two  whistles,  and 
**  hove  his  wheel  hard  a  starboard, "  that  Is  to  say  he 
steered  the  boat  toward  the  left  hand  out  into  the 
river.  The  Narragansettblew  one  whistle,  and  started 
ahead  at  full  speed-  The  pilot  of  the  City  Point  tJien 
Tnng  to  "  stop  and  back, "  Imt  the  enjrine  had  only 
xoaoe  half  a  revolution  back  when  he  saw  that  it 
■would  be  impossible  to  stop  in  time  to  avoid  a  col- 
Usion,  as  it  was  flood  tide ;  so  he  rang  to  go  ahead, 
hopingto  be  able  to  cross-the  bow  of  the  Narragan- 
•ett.  The  pOot  of  the  Narragansett,  after  leavina;, 
the  slip,  rans  to  back  the  en^dne,  but  not  in 
time  to  avoid  a  collision.  She  struck  the 
City  Point  about  amidships  forward  her  shaft,  cut- 
ting her  guards  through  to  the  hoU  and  canying 
away  the  paddle-box  and  all  "aft  to  aft"  the  after 
gangway,  and  doing  other  damaee,  the  amount  of  the 
lOBs  being  $B. 000.  The  Narragansett  proceeded  on 
her  trip  to  Stoniniyton.  and  the  City  Point,  disabled, 
landed  her  passenicera  In  safety  at  Pier  No.  36. 
North  River,  and  thence  was  towed  to  Brooklyn  for 
Tepairs.  The  Inspectors  find  that  Samuel  D.  Walden, 
the  master  of  the  Narra^naett,  was  guilty  of  unskill- 
fulness  in  leaving  the  shp  in  the  manner  m  which  he 
did,  and  they  sumoend  his  license  as  master  for  30 
days  from  Aiif^.  1^.  They  also  exonerate  the  master 
of  the  City  Point  from  all  blame. 

The  case  of  the  coUisinn  of  the  tug-Doats  J.  N. 
Thompson,  Peter  Ijeonard.  -master  and  pilot,  and 
Commodore  Duryea,  Oscar  Tice,  master  and  pQot,  on 
the  25th  of  July,  In  the  East  River,  oJtrAewtown 
Creek,  Long  Island,  was  investigated  on  the  8th 
tnst.  It  appears  from  the  evidence  that  the  Commo- 
dore Duryea,  proceeding  down  the  East  Biver,  was 
ICO  feet  off  Pldgeon's  Dock.  Hunters  Point.  The 
J.  N.  Thompson  came  out  of  Newtown  Creek  with- 
out riving  the  usual  warning  signal,  and  as  there 
were  vessels  lying  at  the  docks  the  boats  were  in  such 
elose  proxiinUy  to  each  other  before  they  were  seen 
by  their  resp+wtive  pilots  that  a  collisioa  was 
tmwoidable.  The  Thompson  struck  the  Duryea 
mbont  15  feet  from  her  stem  on  the  x>ort  side,  break- 
ing tha  Dm^ea's  rail  and  four  planks,  the  amount  of 
thi  loss  bemg  $200.  The  damage  to  the  other  tug- 
boat was  triiliiig.  The  Inspectors  Und  that  Peter 
Xjecnard,  the  master  and  pilot  of  the  J.  N.  Thompson, 
"waa  guilty  of  n^Ugenee  in  not  givins  the  enstomary

A  higbXj  colored  romance  waa  revealed  yed- 
'  terday  afternoon  in  the  Jefferson  Marke't  Police 
Conrt  In  the  case  of  the  State  against  Pedro  and 
Freeman.  Aimer  Pedro  la  a  good  looUng  mulatto, 
t^  and  graeefol,  and  a  waiter  at  the  Stortevant 
House.  Two  years  ago.  while  taking  his  annoal  va- 
cation at  Boston,  he  met  and  loved  an  octoroon 
named  Clara  Rosalia  Virginia,  whom  Justice  Wan- 
dell  yesterday  pronounced  "too  pretty  to  be  in  any 
other  conrt  than  the  one  she  was  wooed  and  won  in." 
Pedro  married  Rosalia  and  brought  her  to  this  City. 
Everything  went  on  well  enough  nntH  about  two 
months  ago,  when,  Pedro  says,  he  realized  that  his 
small  earnings  were  "  totally  insufficient"  to  support 
Rosalia  as  she  "  had  a  right  to  be  kept."  He  th^e- 
f ore  looked  about  for  the  meaiu  of  bettering  him- 
self. Rosalia  came  to  the  rescue.  She  said  that, 
havine  been  educated  In  Boaton,  ahe  had  acquired 
the  art  of  writing  rapidly,  and  would  no  doubt  be 
able,  as  she  was  willing,  to  &11  some  position  in  a 
newspaper  office  as  either  copyist  or  contributor. 
John  James  Freeman,  editor  of  the  colored  i>eo- 
ple's  organ  called  the  Progressive  American,  oifered 
her  a  good  position  in  the  office  of  that 
paper,  at  N'o.  133  West  Thirtieth-street,  and  she 
gladly  accepted  it.  Everybody  in  the  office  soon  be- 
came attached  to  the  fair  octoroon  on  account  of  her 
ladylike  qualities,  and  her  employer  spoke  so  highly 
of  her  that  her  husband,  Pedro,  got  jealous.  The 
more  encomiums  he  heard  passed  upon  his  wife  the 
deeper  grew  his  Jealousy.  He  lately  began  to  coll 
several  times  a  day  upon  his  wife  whiles  she  was  en- 
gaged at  work,  and  made  himself  generally  dlsasree- 
able  by  his  suspicious  and  prying  manner.  About 
noon  yesterday  he  called  as  usual,  and  asked  Bosalia 
to  go  out  with  him.  She  refnsed,  because 
she  could  not  apare  the  time,  and  Pedro, 
seized  with  a  violent  fit  of  jealousy,  caught  her  by 
the  skirts  and  pulled  hertoward  him.  She  screamed. 
Freeman,  attracted  by  her  cries,  ran  in  where  the 
couple  were,  and,  ateppii^t  up  to  Pedro,  said:  "Mr, 
Pedro,  do  not  dare  to  strike  or  harm  that  woman!'. 
Pedro,  in  reajjonse,  asked  him  "  if  it  was  any  of  his 
funeral.  "  Freeman  retired  into  the  front  omce  and 
Pedro  followed  him.  Just  as  Pedro  reached  the  door 
of  the  apartment  Freeman  presented  a  pistol  at  him, 
and  hepicked  up  a  cane,  with  which  he  knocked  the 
weapon-out  of  the  editor's  hand.  Freeman  then 
grasped  Pedro  by  the  throat,  and,  throwing  him  upon 
a  sofa,  proceeded  to  pound  him  vigorously.  Pedro 
was  the  stronger  of  the  two.  however,  and  succeeded, 
by  striking  upward,  in  closing  both  of  Freeman's  ejres 
with  well-directed  blows. 

Rosalia  spent  all  this  time  in  screanung  for  help, 
and  succeeded  in  attracting  a  crowd  and  one  police- 
man. The  officer  arrested  both  men  and  took  them 
before  Justice  Wendell.  The  Justice  heard  both 
sides,  and  then  called  Rosalia  to  testify.  Her  testi- 
mony convinced  her  husband  of  the  groiffidlesiness 
of  his  jealousy,  and  he  became  repentant  of  his  mis- 
conduct. Each  of  the  prisoners  was  fined  $10,  and 
as  neither  bad  the  money  both  were  locked  up. 
They  went  into  the  prisoners'  box  on  ap- 
parently good  terms.  When  they  got  there 
they  began  to  search  their  pockets  for  funds. 
Freeman  had  $9— just  $1  short.  Pedro  had  $2. 
So  with  great  magnanimity  he  said  to  his  recent 
rival :  "  Here  is  the  dollar  you  need  ;  go  and  pay 
your  fine-"  Freeman  accepted  the  money,  and  went 
out  and  settled  with  the  court.  Justice  AVandell 
■asked  him  if  he  did  not  think  it  mean  to  gti  out  with 
Kosalia  and  leave  her  husband  in  jail.  Freeman  re- 
plied that  he  was  going  out  to  raise  money  to  pay 
Pedro's  fine,  and  told  of  his  loan  of  $1,  and  also  said 
that  Rosalia  was  '"too  high-toned  to  go  ont  imder 
the  circumstances,"  but  would  remain  until  her  hus- 
band got  his  liberty.  Rosalia  sat  there  until  5 
o'clock  waiting  for  Freeman's  return  :  but  the  court 
closed  with  Pedro's  account  unliquidated,  and  Clara 
Rosalia  Pedro  departed  in  tears  for  her  desolate 
home.

COMPLAIKTS  OP  KEGLECT  AGAINST  THE  DE- 
PABTIIENT  OF  PARKS — A  PETITION  WHICH 
WAS  KOT  QRAXTED — MB.  MELLEK'S  STATE- 
MENT   OP  GRIEVANCES. 

'^inc©  about  the  beginning  of  the  year  the 
lamps  around  the  Park-avenue  parks  have  not  beAi 
lighted,  and  property -owners  along  the  street  ad- 
dressed the  Park  Commissioners  upon  the  subject  in 
April  last.  Mr.  A.  Mcllen,  Jr..  of  th«  lirm  of  ilellbu 
&Co.,Xo3.  1-1  i  and  1-1-4  WortU-sti-eot,  one  of  thn 
parties  interost^^fr  gi^'^^  a  stati-ment  of  thuir  griev- 
ances substantially  as  follows:  When  the  i'ounh- 
avenue  tunnel  was  built,  property-owners  along  the 
strt  et  gave  20  feet  of  ground  on  each  aide  in  order 
that  the  street  might  not  be  made  too  narrow 
by  the  necessary  optfulncrs  over  the  tnnnel. 
The  street  thus  became  1-40  feet  wide,  and  it  was 
understood  that  the  City  would  keep  the  "parks," 
as  they  are  called,  in  order  and  the  lamps  lighted.— 
The  action  of  property-holders  in  relinqnishius  a 
portion  (Jf  their  laud  was  in  nearly  everj  case  volun- 
tary, although,  with  a  few  exceptions,  they  were 
subsequently  remtinerated  by  a  Board  of  Appraisers. 
As  already  intimated,  the  lamps  were  kept  lichted 
until  about  the  first  of  this  year.  About  six  months 
ago  the  lamps,  not  being  in  use.  were  taken  away 
for  preservation.  ^  On  the  25th  of  April  a 
petition  was  dfttfn  up  and  sign&d  by  near- 
ly all  the  property-holders  on  the  street. 
Tliis  petition  was  addressed  to  the  Park  C^mmls- 
aiouers  and  requested  tliat  the  lighting  of  the  lamps 
be  resumed.  The  petitioners  anticipated  the  argu- 
ment that  funds  were  wanting  by  urging  that  work 
in  the  public  parks  be  curtailed,  and  that  the  com- 
pamtively  trifling  amount  necessary  (about  $210) 
for  the  remaiiider  of  the  year  be  u*ied  as  reqnented. 
A  few  names  were  signed  to  the  pajter  "  as  to  the 
request,  but  not  as  to  tlie  argument."  Mr.  Mellen 
says  he  carried  the  petition  to  the  Comutissloners' 
office,  but  failed  to  find  Mr.  Martin  ;  that  he  made 
three  or  four  separate  appointments  with  the  Secre- 
tary to  meet  Mr.  Martin,  but  that  nono  of  them  were 
kept  by  the  latter. 

The  petition  was  finally  placed  in  Mr.  Martin's 
hands,  and  at  the  meeting  of  the  board  on  July  11 
he  reported  adversely,  saymsf  tl-.at  the  board  had  no 
funds  with  which  to  meet  the  expense,  and  that  the 
petitioners  should  apply  to  the  Gas  Commission. 
This  report  was  approved.  Previous  to  this,  on  June 
2d,  Mr.  Martin  addressed  a  reply  to  the  petitioners 
which  was  to  the  same  purport  as  the  report.  In  it 
he  referred  to  a  communication  from  him  to  the  Gas 
Commission,  dated  March  10.  in  wblch  he  sug- 
gests that  a  fair  interpretation  of  the  law 
would  give  the  control  of  the  lamps  in  the 
parks  and  squares,  as  well  as  along  the  streets. 
to  the  commission.  This  action  Mr.  Mellon 
regards  as  an  attempt  on  tlie  part  of  the 
Coinniis-'doners  to  shirk  a  responriibility  which  the 
department  itself  assumed.  In  this  opinion  Jlr.  Me- 
Cormick,  Superintendent  of  the  Bureaii  of  Lamps 
and  tfas,  fully  concurs,  saying  that  when  the  Bopart- 
ment  of  Parks  assumed  full  control  it  bi-gau  to  erect. 
alter,  or  remove  lamps  without,  even  consulting  his 
department,  which  finally  ordered  the  gas  companies 
to  transfer  the  accounts  for  all  lamps  not  actually  on 
the  streets  and  aveaaes  to  the  Park  I>epHrtment. 
The  accounts  for  the  lamps  in  the  Park-avenue  parks 
were  so  transferred  on  the  1st  of  January,  187a. 

Mr.  Mellen  says  that  Park-avenue  is  ui  a  great  de- 
cree rendered  unsafe  by  the  ab.scnce  uf  the  liglits  re- 
ferred to ;  that  the  liKUts  on  either  side  of  the  street 
are  not  strong  enough  to  serve  for  the  centre  ;  that 
wagons  are  liable  tu  be  run  against  the  ratlings,  and 
that  evil-doers  are  enabled  to  jtimp  the  railings,  and 
drop,  unperceived  by  the  pursuing  Police,  into  the 
tnnneL  Mr.  William  Irwiu,  Secretary  of  the  De- 
partment of  Public  Parks,  was  questioned  yesterday. 
as  to  the  matters  stated  above.  He  admits  that 
the  lamps  in  question  should  be  lighted,  bnt  says 
there  is  no  appropriation  available  ;  that  the  De- 
partment, being  obliged  to  curtail  expenses,  has  en- 
deavored  to  do  so  where  the  least  injury  wonld  be 
done,  and  tliat  among  such  places  were  the  Faxk- 
avcnue  parks.

THS  ARKANSAS  BOXJ>BOL2>ESS. 
Up  to  yesterday  afternoon  the  signatures  of 
lioldeis  of  91,800,000  of  Arkansas  State  bonds  had 
been  received  at  the  Bank  of  the  State  of  New-York 
to  an  agreement  to  compromise  with  the  State.  The 
bonds  intexBstad  form,  only  a  portion  of  tha  State 
debt,  and  are :  Old  unfunded  5  and  6  per  eebt. 
bonds,  $493,225;  funded  debt  bonds  of  1869  and 
1870,  94,285,530;  railroad  aid  bonds,  $7,334,395, 
and  levee  bonds,  92,820,682.  The  agreement, 
which  appears  to  emanate  from  the  Ixindholders, 
proposes  to  exchange  those  bonds  for  new  State 
bonds  to  run  30  years,  interest  to  be — first  year,  2 
per  cant. ;  second  year,  3  per  cent.  ;  third  year,  4 
per  enil,  and  after  that  6  per  cent,  the  first  semi- 
ftontuil  payment  to  be  made  in  Jul^,  1878,  the  t>oada 
to  be  secm^  by  a  provision  snidlar  to  tJiat  se- 
eoxbiff  the  "  Ijougfabozmicb"  bonds,  the  old  imfunded 


or  9670  for  each  91,000,  except  that  poitlaB  known 
astbc  "Holford*'  bonds;  these  to  be  exchanged  at 
the  rate  of  38  percent,  or  9380  w  91,000,  and 

the  levee  and  nuroad  aid  bonds  to  ot  exduuued  at 
the  rate  of  19  per  cent.,  or9190  per  91,000.  Messrs. 
John  D.  Adams,  of  Uttle  Roc^,  and  J.  K  Redfleld, 
of  Essex,  Conn.,  figure  as  the  originators  of  the  pro- 
position. 'Lbey  agree,  provided  a  suffldent  number 
of  the  bonds  come  into  the  arrangement  prior  to 
July  10,  1378,  to  do  their  best  to  secure  the  sanc- 
tion of  liie  State  authorities,  and  effect  the  eichanze 
witfaont  further  expense  to  the  bondholders.  The 
terms  mentioned  are  greatly  Ln  excess  of  the  market 
Tslue  of  the  bonds.  Tne  nUlroad  aid  bonds  have 
beosi  declared  unconstitutional  and  void  by  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  State,  and  ar*  seUinz  at  4  to  5 
per  cent.  onlv.  The  levee  bonds,  about  whose  legal- 
ity there  is  lUso  some  dispute,  are  quoted  at  about 
the  same  flgprer  The  "Holford"  bonds  are  mostly 
owned  in  England.  Comparatively  few  Arkansas 
bonds  are  held  in  this  City.  The  State  has  made  no 
advances  on  wblch  to  base  any  hope  of  the  sncoets  of 
the  project,  and  no  provision  has  been  made  by  the 
Tjeglslature  for  the  issuance  of  any  30-year  bonds  of 
the  character  of  those  which  the  bondholders  in  the 
scheme  indicate  their  willingness  to  accept. 

BROOKLYN  BAVARIANS. 
THE     SECOND     DAT    OP    THS    FESTIVAL     IN 
UYBTLE-AVSNUE     PABK. — THE    PASTIUES 
OP  THE  PESTIVAL-KAKEES. 

The  first  day  of  the  Bayarlan  festival  in  the 
Myrtle-Avsnoe  Park,  in  Brooklyn,  closed  at  mid- 
night on  Monday,  and  the  sports  were  renewed  with 
undiminished  ardor  at  10  o'clock  yesterday  morning, 
when  women  and  girls,  in  the  costumes  of  the  peas- 
antry, or  else  attired  as  creatures  of  mythology,  be- 
gan to  arrive  in  the  street  cars  or  on  foot.  There  was, 
dtiring  the  morning,  also  a  sprinkling  of  women  who 
had  come  simply  to  look  on,  and  wore  their  ordinary 
frocks,  with,  perhaps,  a  trifle  more  of  finery  than 
usual;  and  there  were  hundreds  of  vety  happy  childrem 
Aa  the  day  wore  on,  the  men  and  boyi  began  to  come, 
too  ;  the  Bavarian  infantry,  who  wore  their  helmets 
in  spite  of  the  heat,  and  the  knights  and  cavaliers  in 
tinsel  and  velvetine.  Some  of  the  sports  which  had 
been  set  down  for  Mondav  evening  were  omitted  be- 
cause it  rained  then,  and  these  were  added  to  yes^ 
terday's  procramme,  which  was  consequently  a  very 
full  one,  and  required  the  constant  attention  of  such 
of  the  festival-makers  as  wished  to  enjoy  everything. 
A  small  boy  with  a  drum  was  kept  marching  from 
one  point  in  the  park  to  another  throujEhont  the 
afternoon,  and  wherever  he  went  a  jolly  crowd  fol- 
lowed him  full  of  expectant^,  for  he  always  went 
to  the  place  where  a  new  show  was  to  begin.  The 
park  wore  the  aspect  of  a  continental  fair  ground, 
with  booths  scattered  all  over  the  Inclosureand 
brass  bands  playing  German  dance  music  incessantly. 
The  dancing  platform  had  some  dancers  upon  it  all 
the  afternoon,  and  In  the  evening  it  was  crowded. 
There  was  an  open-air  theatre  where  a  German 
comic  shoemakers  grievances  micht  be  enjoyed  in 
■the  afternoon,  and  there  -wt^  a  photograph  gallery, 
where,  for  a  small  coin,  one  might  have  his  picture 
taken  with  Arcadian  surroundings.  A  panorama 
of  the  Centennial  Kxhibition  grounds  possessed, 
even  at  this  late  day,  some  attraction 
for  the  Bavarians  of  Williamsburg ;  and  in  the 
shootine-gallery  there  were  exhibited,  from  time  to 
time,  some  of  the  v^ry  worst  specimens  of  marksman- 
ship. It  was  a  pleasure  to  hear  the  good-htimored 
laughter  when  some  particulurly  unskulful  shooter, 
aiming  with  painful  earnestness  at  the  bull's-eye, 
failed  to  hit  the  target.  There  was,  of  course,  some 
good  shooting.  During  the  day  there  was  a  shootina 
match  of  young  women,  to  the  winners  in  which  prizes 
will  be  awarded  to-morrow. 

There  were  athletic  sports  also  during  the  evening, 
and  some  young  men  showed  how  swiftly  they 
could  run.  But  the  enloyable  sports  of  the  day.  jn 
all  respects,  were  the  pole  climbing  and  sack  racing  of 
youngsters  for  prizes.  Magnificent  red  and  vellow 
handkerchiefs,  suspenders,  and  other  articles  of 
nlility  such  as  thrifty  German  boys  prize  more  highly 
than  pea-nuts  or  penny  cigars,  were  fastened  on  a 
cross-piece  on  the  very  top  of  a  slippery  pole,  at 
least  liO  feet  high.  Then  gathered  about  the  base  of 
the  pole  the  parents  and  friends  of  the  youngster 
who  was  about  to  kfU  two  birds  with  one  stone,  and 
increase  his  wardrobe,  while  exhibiting  his  agility  ; 
for  If  a  boy  could  detach  a  pair  of  susjjenders  or  the 
handkerchief  from  thecross-bsrandbringitdownfrom 
tlie  pole,  the  articlo  was  then  his  property.  The  feat 
seemed  to  be  easy  enotigh,  and  a  large  number  of 
boys  entered  into  the  contest,  to  have  the  axiom  once 
more  impressed  upou  their  minds  that  appearances 
are  deceitfuL  Many  a  boy  started  to  iufmed  with 
easy  confidence,  and  came  sUdlbg  down  at  the  rate  of 
Hljout  a  100  miles  a  minute,  before  be  bad  ludf 
reached  the  goaL  At  last  one  barefooted  youngster. 
proceeding  with  infinite  care,  reached  the  top,  and 
slid  down  with  a  pair  ot  Stt.<ipenders  and  a  hero's 
reputation ;  and  afterward  others  profited  by  his  ex- 
ample. In  the  sack  races  tlio  prizes  were  placed  near 
the  ground,  and  the  vouth.H.  with  their  legs  enveloped. 
ill  bfti;s,  ran  as  rapiUiy  as  they  could  for  tiie  goal,

which  has  been  formed  artificially  from 
a  swampy  run.  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  extent, 
and  surrounded  by  a  white  graveled  walk.  This  lake 
has  been  excavated  to  a  sufficient  depth  to  admit 
the  use  of  row-boats.  This  and  other  improvements 
have  l>een  made  since  la.it  season,  and 
add  much  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  place.

The  Excise  Inspeotora  submitted  yesterday  to 
the  Commis^oners  reports  relative  to  a  Urge  number 
of  applications  for  licenses  referred  to  them  for  In- 
vestigation. The  board  granted  75  licenses,  about 
one-half  of  which  were  for  the  sale  of  ale  and  beer. 
Many  of  the  applications  reported  upon  were  referred 
back  to  the  Inspectors  for  more  thorong|^  investiga- 
tion. Comparatively  few  of  the  dealers  who  have 
made  applications  filed  the  bonds  yest^ay.  The 
clerk  of  the  board  was  instmcted  to  notify  those  wbo 
have  failed  to  ^ve  bon^s  that  the  Commissioners

XmLOOKED  SAFES  IN  A  NATIONAL  BANK. 
Eariy  yesterday  morning  an  officer  of  the 
Twenty-ninth  Precinct,  while  passing  the  office  of 
the  Sixth  National  Book,  at  the  junction  of  Sixth- 
avenua  and  Thirty-fifth-street,  pferceivied  tliat  the 
eross-bar  and  padlock  which  usually  assisted  to 
setuze  one  of  the  large  safes  were  not  in  their  aecns- 
tomadrilaces.  He  summoned  a  number  of  poticemen, 
and  the  premises  were  entered  and  uioronghly 
searched.  It  was  f  ouud  that  nothing  had  been  db-- 
turi>ed,  and  it  was  anpareut  that  one  of  the  bank 
officials,  after  locking  the  safe,  had  forgotten  to  place 
the  bftr  aoroBs  the  door  to  farther  seetire  It.  The

THE  BELL-PUNCH  CONSPIRACY. 

A  CONDUCTOR  TESTIFIES  TO  THE  ORGANIZA- 
TION OF  A  RING  FOB  THE  PURPOSE  OF 
DEFRAUDINa  THE  SECONI>-AVENUE  RAIL- 
ROAB  COMPANY— MORE  ARRESTS  TO  BE 
IfABE. 
Mr.  Harvey  H.  Wooda,  Secretary  of  the  Sec- 
ond-Avenue Railroad  Company,  swore  out  warrants 
in  the  Mfty-seventh-Street  Police  Conrt  on  Monday 
for  the  acrett  of  12  eonduetors  on  his  line,  who  are 
tospected  of  having  oonS^dred  together  to'  defraud 
the  railroad  company  of  fares  by  tampering  with  the 
bell-punches.  Charles  Kent,  James  Johnston,  Fred- 
erick Johnson,  John  Thomanu,  David  Cogim,  and 
George  W.  Keeler  were  arrested,  and  at  the  request 
of  complainant's  counsel  were  released  on  parole  by 
Justice  Flammer  until  such  time  as  the  other^sus- 
pected  persons  are  taken  Into  custody.  The  Affi- 
davit of  WiUiazn  F.  Abbott,  a  conductor,  who 
resides  at  No.  125  East  Ninety-second-street,  was 
taken.  He  testified  that  he  had  been  approached 
by  persons  who  wanted  to  know  If  he  would 
take  port  in  a  movement  to  rob  the  company,  and 
would  pay  to  learn  how  It  could  be  done  successfully. 
He  agreed  to  join  the  conspirators,  and  was  thereuiK>n 
shown  iftw  to  unlock  the  punch  and  set  back  the 
register.  The  persons  who  taught  Abbott  the  trick 
told  him  that  there  were  several  other  conductors  in^ 
the  ring,  and  that  they  had  all  agreed  to  pay  $5  a 
week  each  from  their  stealings  for  the  privilege  of 
being  let  into  the  secret.  It  is  supposed  now  that 
Abbott  informed  the  company  of  the  scheme,  and  re- 
vealed the  names  of  all  those  concerned  In  it.  The 
names  of  those  who  have  not  beeui^rrested  yet  are 
withheld  by  request.  On  Monday  evening  a  man 
named  John.  McPherson,  for  whom  a  warrant  was 
oat,  was  arrested  wliile  standing  in  front  of 
the  Astor  House,  and  is  now  locked  up  in  the 
Pifth-seventh- Street  Station.  He  will  be  taken 
before  Justice  Flammer  for  examinatR>n  this 
afternoon,  but  it  is  not  probable  that  he 
will  reveal  anything  of  consequence.  Tbe  auppo- 
sition  is  that  It  was  this  man  and  an&thbt  who  Is 
still  at  large,  who  initiated  the  conductors  Into  the 
mysteries  of  the  bell-punch,  and  explained  to  them 
how  easily  it  could  be  beaten,  and  if  his  conviction 
and  that  of  his  confederate  can  be  secured  the  cora- 
panv  will  in  all  likelihood,  let  the  matter  drop,  so  far 
as  tne  bonductors  are  concerned.  There  is  a  rumor 
atloat  that  McPherson  was  once  employed  by  the 
Ames  Manufacturing  Company,  of  Chicopee.  Mass., 
by  which  the  punches  are  ma5e.  and  that  he  there 
learned  the  secret  of  their  construction  and  how 
they  can  be  rendered  utterly  useless  for  the  purpose 
for  which  they  are  intended.  In  conversation  with  a 
TiMXB  reporter  yesterday  McPherson  said  he  had 
not  the  most  remote  idea  of  what  he  was  ar- 
rested for.  Hia  alleged  connection  with  the 
bell-punch  robberies  was  explained  to  him, 
when  he  said  that  he  knew  nothing  at  all  .ibout  the 
matter.  He  positively  denied  ever  having  had  any- 
thing to' do  witEIT^tfeflc  railroad  company  or-con-- 
duetor,  and  said  he  only  came  here  recently  from 
Philadelphia,  where  he  had  been  employed  in  the 
maotifactnre  of  BrittazSPware.  A  fnend  of  his  in 
this  City  had  writjfen  to  him  saying  that  he  could 
get  a  situation  here,  and  he  came  on  for  that  purpose. 
The  railroad  company,  on  the  other  hand,  is  confi- 
dent that  lie  is  one'  of  the  men  who  approached 
Abbott,  and  no  donbt  he  will  be  confronted  by  the 
Utter  this  afternoon. 


THE  STRIKER  DONAHUE. 

HE  FAILS  TO  AN.SWER  THE  INTERROGATORIES 
^A  MOTION  TO  BE  MADE  FOR  JUDGMENT 
AGAINST  HIK. 

In  the  matter  of  the  alleged  contempt  of  Ber- 
nard J.  Donahue,  the  leader  of  the  Erie  strikers,  in 
resisting  Receiver  Jewett,  the  officer  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  interrogatories  were  filed,  on  the  4th  inst.,  in 
the  County  Clerk's  office,  in  the  form  of  questions  aa 
to  his  alleged  acts,  to  which  he  was  required  to  file 
written  answers  by  yesterday,  in  order  that  issue 
might  be  joined,  and  the  case  be  disi>OEed  of  at  the 
hearing  which  Is  to  take  place  this  morning,  at  10:30 
o'clock,  in  Supreme  Court,  Chambers,  l>efore 
Judge  Donohue.  The  answers  were  not  filed 
yesterday,  and.  after  the  Coanty  Clerk's  office  had 
closed,  Mr.  Macfarland,  of  counsel  for  Receiver  Jew. 
ctt,  on  being  questioned  as  to  what  woald  be  done 
to-day,  said  that  Donahue  was  clearly  in  default  in 
not  making  an.Hwer,  which  amounte<l  to  a  cmiTessinn 
uf  judsraient,  and  that  jud^^ment  against  him  would 
be  afked  for  to-day,  aiid  then  he  woald  be  iu 
the  Imuds  uf  the  court.  V*  be  dealt  wiih  In 
its  discretion.  On  inquiry  last  evening  at  ihe  olHre 
of  Geu.  Roger  A.  Pnor.  of  conns-l  for  Donahue,  tlu^ 
Infonnatlon  was  given  that  no  e.^tension  of  time  for 
filing  the  answers  had  l>een  njiked  for,  and  tliat  nt> 
intimation  of  what  coun.sel  for  Donahue  imendo-l 
doing  to-day  cnuld  be  given  beyond  the  fact  that 
it  was  "likely  that  there  would  be  a  ri^ht 
lively  time  in  court."  Jud^je  Donohue,  on  bfiug 
aaketl  yesterday    about  the  batliug  of   Donahue,  re- 

5 lied  that  he  [Judge  Donohm-J  had  been  in  the 
udge's  private  room  every  day  recently,  at  frreat 
personal  inconvenience,  »waitinc  the  otf'ering  ot  bail, 
so  that  no  reasonable  fault  coald  be  found  or  charge 
made  that  bail  was  oflfered  and  the  Judge  was  not 
present  to  receive  it.  It  seemed  to  him,  considering 
that  Donahue  had  been  reported  to  have  said  that  he 
could  Ret  $10,000  bail  if  necessary,  that  there  was  an 
intention,  in  not  offering  bail,  to  have  Donahue  ap- 
pear as  a  martyr.       . 

BECKER  DISCUABGED  FROM  CTSTODT. 

The  case  of  Charles  F.  Becker,  one  of  the  men 
charged  with  being  Implicated  In  the  forgery  of  a 
$64,000  check  on  the  Union  Trust  Company,  was 
before  Jadge  Sutherland  yesterday  lu  the  Court  of 
General  Sessions.  Becker,  It  will  be  remembered, 
was  admitted  to  bail  on  the  forgery  indictment 
against  htm  in  the  sum  of  $10,000,  but  was  immedi- 
ately rearrested  as  he  was  lea\-ing  the  District  At- 
torney's office  on  an  order  of  arrest  granted  In  civil 
proceedings,  arising  out  of  the  same  transaction. 
Becker  was  taken  to  Dudlow-Street  Jail.  The  Dis- 
trict Attorney,  anticipating  the  discnarge  of  the 
prisoner  on  the  civil  proceedings,  and  fearing  that  the 

baillnthe  criminal  mattermight  be  Invalidated  by  the 
surrender  of  the  accused  to  the  Sheriif,  issued  a  bench 
warrant  wvd  deposited  it  at  Ludlow-Street  Jail,  to  be 
exeoated  in  the  event  of  Becker's  release  beiuc  or- 
dered. On  Monday  Judge  Van  Brunt  fulfilled  the  ex- 
pectations of  the  District  Attorney  by  vacating  the 
order  of  arrest  In  Becker'-s  case.  Counsel  for  the 
prisoner,  however,  knowing  that  tlie  discharge  of  his 
client  from  Ludlow-street  would  immediately  be  fol- 
lowed by  his  learrest  and  incarceration  in  the  Tombs, 
permitted  him  to  remain  in  custody,  and  yesterday 
moved  before  Judge  Sutherland  for  the  withdrawal 
of  the  bench  warrant  in  the  hands  of  the 
Warden  of  Ludlow-Street  JaU.  Assistant 
District  Attorney  Herring  said  he  had  no 
official  knowledge  of  the  issuing  of  a  bench  warrant 
for  Becker's  arre.'^t.  He  had  no  doubt  that  it  had 
simply  been  done  as  a  precautionary  measure,  in  or- 
der to  secure  the  rearrest  of  the  prisoner,  so  tliat  his 
bond  mipht  be  renewed,  thus  preventing  any  poshi- 
bility  of  trouble  about  the  bail.  lie  would 
take* the  decision  of  the  court  on  the  matter,  how- 
ever. Judge  Sutherland  said  that  the  detention 
of  the  prisoner,  who  had  once  alread v  given  bail,  for 
one  moment  after  his  release  had  been  ordered  by 
the  court  was  clearly  illegal,  and  rendered  the  person 
BO  detaining  him  liable  to  action  for  illejzal  Imprison- 
ment. His  Honor  therefore  ordered  that  the  bench 
warrant  t>e  withdrawn,  which  was  accordingly  done, 
and  Becker  was  subsequently  discharged. 


A  LEGACY  CONTESTED.  ^ 
In  the  year  1S44  an  aBsociatioQ  of  ladies  coix 
nected  with  the  German  Lutheran  denomination  in 
this  City  was  formed,  under  the  name  of  "Der 
Deutsche  Frauen  Verein,"  the  objects  being  the 
assistance  of  the  needy  widows,  orphans,  abd  sick 
connected  with  the  TTnited  German  Ijutheran 
churches  of  this  City.  In  the  year  1859  Mr.  Chris 
tian  G.  Gunther  left  $5,000  to  the  society,  the 
Interest  of  which  was  to  be  used  for  its 
objects.  The  society  not  then  being  incorporated, 
the  money  was  placed  in  the  custody  of  the  Trustees 
of  the  United  German  Lutheran  Church  of  this 
City,  with  the  understanding  that  the  interest  should 
be  paid  to  the  society.  There  is  now  $175  of  this 
interest  due  from  the  Trustees,  who  are  willing  to 
pay  it^  but  they  are  confronted  by  two  organizations 
instead  of  only  one.  each  claiming  to  be  the  original 
one,  and  each  demanding  tha  money  as  such.  The 
Tnutees,  being  in  a  dilemma,  appealed  to  the 
Court  of  Common  Pleas  for  instruction, 
expressing  their  willingness  to  abide  by  its  decision. 
One  of  the  orgauizatious.  both  of  which  have  sub- 
stantially the  same  name,  is  presided  over  by  Mrs. 
Christlana  M.  Bohm,  and  characterizes  the  other  one, 
of  whl(^  Mrs.  Anna  Ottendorfer  is  the  President,  as 
merely  a  body  of  seceders  from  it,  not  entitled  to 
Tecogoltloo.  Mrs.  Bohm's  verein  sued  to  recover  the 
amount  they  claim,  and  yesterday  Jndgo  Larremore 
decided  to  discharge  the  Trustees  from  any  liablUty 
inmference  to  the  fund  or  interest,  on  their  deposit- 
ing the  whole  amount  in  court,  and  having  the  verein 
of  which  Mrs.  Ottendorfer  is  President  suostltuted  as 
defendants,  so  that  the  issue  as  to  which  is  the  genu- 
ine verein  entitled  to  the  money  Can  be  legally  fought 
out  between  the  two  contestants  for  the  legacy. 


THREE  ALLEGED  BURGLARS  AeLD.^ 
The  ^06  store  of  William  Henderson,  at  No. 
890  Third-avenue,  was  broken  into  between  11  and

Sast  Twenty-elghth-atreet,  who  was  in  the  neighbor-

yooz^  man  loitering  about  Henderson's  store  in  a 
suspicions  manner,  and  resolv^  to  watch  lila  move-

two  other  young  men  equally  as  rough-looking  as 
klmself,  and  the  three  field  a  confer^ice  furtively

Pirst-aveane ;  John  Davis,  plumber,  No.  316  East 
Thirty-first-street,  and  Thomas  White,  baker.  No. 
119  Ellxabeth-street.  Tliey  were  arraigned  before 
Justice  Flsmmer,  in  the  Fifty-seveuth-Street  Police 
Court,  yesterday,  and  protested  their  innocence, 
asserting  that  they  wen  on  their  way  home  from  a 
place  of  amusement  when  they  were  taken  into  cus- 
tody. They  were  committed  for  trial  in  default  of 
$3,000  bail  each.  _

niGRWAY  ROBBERS  SENTENCED. 

On  tbo  evening  of  June  21,  as  Mary  Pagans, 
a  colored  woman,  was  returning  home  from  work 
through  Thompson-street,  she  was  attacked  by  a 
colored  waiter  named  John  Bucinor  or  Buckiner, 
of  No.  151  Thompson-street,  who  struck  her 
a  brutal  blow  on  the  side,  from  the 
effect  of  which  she  fell  over  a  water- 
troufrh,  breaking  two  of  her  ribs.  While  she  was 
lying  in  the  water-trough  Bucinor  robbed  her  of  $9, 
lier  week's  wHses.  and  ran  off.  The  woman  was  re- 
roovt-d  to  BelloTie  Hos]>itaI,  where  her  injaries  de- 
tained her  fcir  six  weeks.  The  ruRian  was  subse- 
quently arro  ted  and  indicted  for  highway  robbery. 
When  the  prisoner  was  placed  on  trial  by  Assistant 
District  Attorney  Herring  vesterd,<iy,  in  the  Court  of 
General  Sessions,  he  denied  the  robbery  and  assault, 
and  claimed  that  the  woman  Pagans  was  his  wife. 
The'  jury  found  him  guilty  of  robbery,  and  Judge 
Sutheriand  sentenced  nim*  to  15  years  in  State 
IVison.  The  prisoner  loudly  protested  his  innocence, 
and  threatenea  to  have  ample  revenge  whenever  he 
should  leave  State  Prison. 

Another  case  of  highway  robberv  by  a  negro  was 
that  of  William  Harrison,  of  No.  9  Olark-street.  who. 
on  the  momlug  of  the  2dth  of  June,  attacked  Charles 
Johnston,  another  colored  man,  living  at  Xew- 
Rochelle,  Westchester  County.  As  the  latter  was 
walking  through  Thompson-street  Harrison  followed 
him.  and  attempted  forcibly  to  deprive  him  of  a  rine 
which  he  wore  on  his  small' finger.  Harrison  got  the 
finger  In  his  mouthand  endeavored  to  wrench  off  the 
ring,  which  in  the  struggle  was  broken.  Johnston 
then  tried  to  escape,  wherenpon  Harrison  struck  hitn 
on  the  head  with  a  brick,  iimictinif  a  scrinns  wound. 
The  bighwaj-nian  was  finally  arrested  and  locked  np. 
On  the  trial  yesterday  he  attempted  to  show  that  he 
onlv  acted  in  self-detense,  but  the  lury  found  him 
guilty  of  an  attempted  robbery.  Judge  Sutheriand 
sent  him  to  State  Prison  for  nine  years. 

FERNANDO  WOOD  IN  COURT. 
Catharine  Irvin  and  Thonia.s  C.  Holland  sued 
Fernando  Wood,  in  the  Seventh  District  Court,  to  re- 
cover $1C8  which  they  alleged  he  owed  them  for 
work.  Wood  desired  to  have  the  case  removed  for 
trial  to  the  Conrt  of  Cummon  Pleas,  and  filed  a  bond 
for  that  purpose,  but  Justice  Pinckney  refused  to 
transmit  the  papers  to  the  Common  Pleaa,  and  Wood 
applied  to  Judge  Van  Brunt  for  a  mandamus  to  com- 
pel him  to  do  so.  It  appeared  that  the  sureties  on 
the  bond  had  not  justified,  and  vesterday  Judge  Van 
Brunt  denied  the  application,  holding  that  Justice 
Pinckney  was  not  obliged  to  transmit  the  papers  re- 
moving the  case,  as  the  sureties  had  failed  to  justify.

FOREIGN  BUSINESS  AFFAIRS 


Losroox,  Aug.  14.— The  .Var/.-ianc  Express  in  iw  week- 
ly review  of  the  BriTisb  Cora  trade  navB :  In  the  homo 
counties  tbe  most  sirikini;  feature  i«  the  thinness  at  rn* 
Wheat  plant  on  the  ground,  aud  au  examination  of  the 
ear  shows  thent  to  be  poorly  liUed  and  bearing  distinct 
traces  ot  blight  and  mildew.  Cutting  has  commencou, 
but  with  such  weather  as  u-e  have  been  having  lately  the 
hai^est  ■will  be  much  protracted  and  the  reault  scu'C^y 
encouraging  to  farmers.  The  E^iset  crop  seems  to  b« 
especially  unsatisfactory,  and  where  reaping  haa  begun  thq 
more  farm^ers  see  of  the  Wheat  the  les.**  they  Uk« 
it.  Proceeding  northward  appearances  are  ieaa  gloomy, 
and  tho  Scotch  reports  are  upon  the  whole  promising, 
but  the  growth  of  cereals  is  tmusuallv  backward,  and 
even  \n£h  fine  weather  harvesting  will  not  commence 
before  September.  Of  course  a  lat^  harvest  is  not  neces- 
sarily a  bad  one,  still  the  chanous  of  damage  from  unto- 
ward weather  are  larj^ely  Inereasod  as  AaComn  ap- 
proachea.  Barley  has  uertainly  derived  benefit  from  taa 
raiii.  aud  roots  hav«  bo«u  growimj  fast,  but  some  appre- 
hensioua  are  felt  for  the  Potato  crop,  as  excessive  moi»<  , 
ture  la  likely  to  predispose  Polat-ies  to  disease.  At  pre*- 
enr,  hovrt-ver,  camplatnts  are  forrunately  rar*»  In  thia 
countrj-,  but  it  is  a  matter  for  considerable  regret  that  di» 
ease  ban  made  Ita  appearance  in  *ierraany.  and  Ls  sn.id  to  l^i 
Rureatlingrapldly.  In  short,  agriculinral  rc^iorTs  are  coc^ 
fGctint;,  and  both  in  this  coaiitr>-  and  Franc*^  harv^c^ 
anticipations  ar«  more  or  leas  depres.-nnc.  Buvl:ies«  at 
Murk-laue  has  been  somewhat  of  a  holiday  ciiaractgr. 
bot  the  wet  weather  baa  caused  steadinea^  to  prevail,  and 
Wheat  and  feeding  Coru  have  niaintaiued  former  values. 
The  demand  has  been  of  that  retail  nature  which  U 
tumallv  experienced  at  thli  time  of  year  when  millerj 
purchase  merely  from  hand  to  mouth. 

The  Imports  into  London  continue  heavy,  and  any  ma- 
terial rise  in  prices  i»  scarcely  to  be  looki-d'  for  uiile-ss  tb« 
EugUsh  harvofit  turns  out  a.  failurr;,  aa  larp*  arrivals  are 
coming  In  from  India  and  R■a^sla,  and,  allowini;  for 
exaggeration,  America  will  have  a  surplus  for  export  faSy 
eoualto  that  of  former  yeara. 

There  is  little  demand  for  di^ount,  hut  the  Email 
amount  of  bmuness  done  is  subject  to  the  uondltiuo  that 
a  proportionate  addition  shall  bo  paid  if  tlie  Bank  rate 
ou  Thursday  is  raUed  to  2^1  or  3  V"  cent.,  which  is  t>e- 
lieve<it'jbe  inevitable  if  the  hea\'y  withdrawals  of  gold 
from  tho  Bank  conUnue.  Thi*  actnal  doiuund  for  auoncy 
is  slight,  and  the  rau^  from  day  to  day  are  only  about  ^ 
^  cent,  per  annom.

Bupertine  critics  oE  public  men  to  sneer  at 
iloKTos  as  a  type  of  the  coarse  and  vul- 
gar political  gladiator,  whom  the  exigencies 
of  a  stormy  time  raised  to  the  fictitious 
attitude  of  a  statesman.  Much  as  we  have 
found  to  condemn  in  the  opinions,  tlie 
inethod-s,  and  the  affiliations  of  the  Indiana 
Senator,  it  would  be  folly  to  deny  to  him  the 
possession  of  that  higher  insiglit  into  the 
forcea'^lch  create  public  opinion  and  mold 
public  policy,  which  is  the  characteristic 
of  a  m^u  litted  to  shape  the  destinies  of 
states.  \Vf  trust  that  the  time  is  yet  far 
off  when  it  will  be  uecessary  to  accord  him 
the  credit  due  for  the  great  and  trying  work 
which  he  did  so  well  as  Governor  of  Indiana, 
as  well  as  for  noble  services  in  the  cause 
of  the  oppressed  freemen,  and  vigorous 
protests  against  the  apathy  which  invited 
tfie  danger  of  a  disputed  Presidency.  There 
is  still  much  work  for  Mr.  MoKTOJf  to  do, 
which  few  can  accomplish  so  well,  and 
there  are  none  of  his  fellow-countrymen 
who  will  grudge  him  the  wish  that  the  daunt- 
less energj- and  indomitable  will  which  have 
triumphed  so  long  over  physical  suffering 
anay  sustain  him  through  some  more  years 
.otuctive  public  life. 


going  into  details ;  they  repeat  the  nsnal 
twaddle  about  the  "monstrous  fraud" 
which  defeated  the  Democratic  can- 
didates for  the  Presidency,  and 
they  add  a  word  of  approval  for 
"the  restoration  to  the  rights  of  citizen- 
ship" of  the  people  of  the  three  Southern 
States  whose  government  is  now  in  the 
bands  of  a  minority  of  their  voters.  Hon. 
J.  H.  'WiiAiAMS,  of  Augusta,  was  the 
recipient  of  the  empty  eompliment  of  a 
nomination  for  Governor,  duly  reached  after 
a  solemn  and  farcical  attempt  at  balloting. 

The  present  famine  in  British  India,  is 
either  of  a  much  more  serious  character 
than  the  one  which  was  so  successfully  met 
a  few  years  ago,  or  it  has  been  permitted 
by  official  apathy  and  neglect  to  secure  a 
very  alarming  headway.  Already  the  loss 
of  life  is  placed  at  the  enormous  figure  of 
half  a  million,  and  after  such  a,  mor- 
tality as  that,  it  is  hardly  probable 
that  an  equally  direful  visitation  of 
the  pestUenee  which  follows  in  the 
track  of  famine  can  be  avoided.  The  Orissa 
famine  of  1366  cost  a  million  and  a  half  of 
live^but  after  the  revelations  of  official  in- 
(!T(^Mty  which  attended  the  investigation 
of  that  calamity  it  was  thought  that  no 
such  sacrifice  of  human  beings  to  starva- 
tion could  ever  again  be  possible.  It  seems 
to  have  been  the  policy  of  the  Government 
of  the  Presidency  of  Madras,  in  which 
the  famine  chiefly  rages,  to  make  light 
of  the  emergency  which  it  was  apparent 
some  months  ago  they  would  have  to  meet. 
The  folly  of  their  rash  optimism  has  been 
demonstrated  too  late,  and  the  British  Cabi- 
net is  placed  in  the  very  unenviable  posi- 
tion of  being  ready  to  sacrifice  thousands  of 
1^-es  in  Europe  to  maintain  an  ascendency 
in  India  whose  continuance  it  is  unable 
to  justify  by  proofs  of  vigorous  and  humane 
administration. 


This  is  about  the  time  of  year  when  the 
Ilndependent  Greenbacker  organizes  himself 
'into  a  convention,  nominates  himself  for 
•office,  and  proclaims  himself  to  be  the 
jMoses  who  is  to  lead  .everybody  who  will 
follow  him  into  a  laud>M  high  wages,  cheap 
imohey,  and  easy  payment  of  debts.  Yes- 
;terda>-'s  performance  at  Trenton  was  a 
very  fair  sample  of  what  the  paper-money 
dimatic  can  do  and  say  when  he  is  at  his 
ibost.  His  capacity  for  making  everybody 
in  a  convention  either  an  office-bearer,  a 
member  of  a  committee,  or  a  candidate 
for  office,  partakes  of  the^  same 
teven-handed*  liberality  which  moves  him 
to  demand  that  business  men  be 
given  money  ■  enough  to  pay  for  labor,  and 
that  the  laborer  receive  such  wages  as 
shall  enable  him  to  so  increase  his  consump- 
tion of  the  surplus  products  of  the  country 
as  to  give  us  peace  and  prosperity  all  round. 
The  Trenton  inflationists  had  sense  enough 
to  devote  a  separate  resolution  to  the  re- 
mooetization  of  silver,  thus  adding  another 
tie  to  the  many  which  bind  the  unlimited 
greenback  to  "  the  dollar  of  our  fathers." 


It  is  satisfactory  to  hear,  on  the  authority 
oj  their  candidate  for  Lieutenant-Govemor, 
that  the  "Labor  Reformers"  of  Ohio  do 
not  sympathize  with  the  Greenback  Party, 
though  they  make  precisely  the  same  blun- 
der of  expecting  from  legislation  certain 
xosults-which  can  only  be  brought  about  by 
the  slow  operation  of  economic  laws.  It  is 
the  function  of  the  demagogue  to  proclaim 
that  "more  work  and  better  pay"  can  bo 
furnished  by  the  direct  intervention  of  the 
State  or  National  Government,  though  it  is 
also  the  business  of  the  statesman  to  dis- 
cover how  certain  hindrances  to  industrial 
development  in  the  shape  of  administrative 
incompetency  or  dishonesty,  oppressively 
graded  taxation,  and  the  like,  can  be  re- 
moved and  the  general  welfare  of  all  classes 
of  the  community  be  thereby  advanced. 
Xlnfortunately,  the  <  ordinary  "  labor  re- 
former "  is  much  'i  more  likely  to  ad- 
vertise the  nostrums  of  '  the  demagogue 
than  to^take  the  trouble  to  nnderetand  the 
remedies  demanded  by  enlightened  states- 
manship, just  as  a  very  large  proportion  of 
so-oalted  "working  men^'  have  yet  to  learn 
how'  disastrous  are  the  results  of  the 
economic  quackery  which  proposes  to  re- 
lievo their  immediate  distress  by  treating 
'the  organic  laws  of  society  and  of  trade  as 
'non-existent. 


Preparations  were  made  at  the  Hoosac 
Junction ,  between  Troy  andBennington,  yes- 
terday, for  a  first-class  railroad  slaughter, 
and  nothing  but  the  merest  accident,  for 
which  the  railroad  authorities  cannot  justly 
be  held  responsible,  prevented  the  com- 
pletest  success.  An  excursion  train,  heavi- 
ly loaded  and  bound  for  Bennington,  was 
run  into  at  the  junction  by  a  Montreal 
freight ;  the  engine  was  smashed  ; 
several  employes  were  badly  hurt, 
and  a  large  number  of  li%-es  would 
have  been  speedily  lost  but  for  the  fact 
that  a  switch  had  been  left  {)artly  open 
and  the  passenger  train  was  thrown 
to  some  extent  out  of  the  way.  Kail- 
roading  is  uncertain  business  at  best, 
and  this  is  only  another  illustration  of  how 
a  slight  obstacle  may  upset  the  most  care- 
ful plans.  The  Bennington  excursionists 
can  at  least  have  the  melancholy  satisfac- 
tion of  knowing  the  railroad  men  meant  to 
kill  them,  and  would  have  done  so,  if  they 
had  not  been  interfered  with.

MR.  COXKLiya  AT  UTICA. 

What  Senator  CON'KLISO  said  to  his  neigh- 
bors last  eveuiiig,  regarding  their  personal 
relations  and  his  love  for  the  busy  little 
town  which  he"  has  made  his  home,  was  very 
pleasantly  and  properly  said.  But  what  he 
said  to  them  regarding  public  questions 
might,  with  all  propriety  toward  the  occa- 
sion, igd  with  great  advantage  to  Mr.  C0N"K- 
LiNu's  reputation  as  a  statesman,  have 
been  left  unsaid.  There  was  noth- 
ing in  Mr.  Keks'.vs's  graceful  but  col- 
orless, and  not  too  laudatory  address 
of  welcome  that  required  his  friend  to  ex- 
pand himself  quite  so  freely  on  subjects 
with  which  his  acquaintance  ought  to  be 
large,  but  with  which  it  is  evidently  very 
small.  We  confess  that  it  is  a  disappoint- 
ment to  us  to  see  a  man  of  Mr.  Cokkliso's 
station  and  supposed  calibre,  fall  into 
the  commonplace  mistake,  at  a  time  like 
the  present,  of  singing  indiscriminate 
praises  of  everything  American  and  com- 
paring our  condition  with  that  of  foreign 
nations,  to  the  constant  disadvantage  of 
the  latter.  Wo  Americans  hardly  need  to 
have  our  vanity  inflated,  and  even  if  undue 
modesty  were  our  worse  fault,  the  present 
is  not  exactly  the  time  a  prudent  public 
man  woidd  select  to  try  to  stimulate  our 
self-esteem.  ^ 

Mr.  CoNKLiSG  tells  us  that  he  wishes  that 
all  working  men  who  are  dissatisfied  with 
their  wages  could  "  go  to  France  and 
England,  and  see  how  the  work  men  and 
women  do  there,  and  hear  of  the  wages 
they  receive."  Perhaps  he  is  not  aware 
that  a  good  many  working  men  who 
came  from  those  benighted  lauds,  and  who 
know  very  well  the  work  and  the  wages  wh  ich 
prevail  there  and  here,  are  going  back. 
They  have  learned,  what  Mr.  Cosklin'o 
may  possibly  have  overlooked,  that  it  is  not 
the  amount  of  wages,  but  what  wages  will 
buy,  which  affords  the  best  test  of  the  rela- 
tive prosperity  of  working  classes  in  differ' 
ent  countries.  As  between  England  and 
the  United  States,  there  is,  unfortunately, 
much  to  be  said  just  now  for  the  former 
country,  which,  if  it  feels  the  general  com- 
mercial depression  ot  the  world,  does  not 
weigh  down  its  laboring  classes  with  as  heavy 
a  weight  of  local  and  general  taxation,  and 
loaves  them  cheaper  houses  to  live  in,  cheap- 
er food  to  eat,  and  cheaper  clothes  to  wear. 
It  is  true  that  the  land  tenure  of  England  is 
by  no  means  an  ideal  one,  and  that  there 
are  some  enormous  properties  in  land  there  ; 
but  we  doubt  if  the  actual  inconvenience 
from  these  properties  is  as  great  as  that 
which  has  flowed  from  the  manage- 
ment of  some  of  the  railroad  land  grants 
in  the  West.  If  Mr.  Covkliko  desires 
only  to  make  our  working  people 
contented,  that  is  an  amiable  purpose,  but 
it  is  not 'necessarily  a  wise  one.  It  is  an 
open  question  whether  they  ought  to  be 
contented.  We  do  not  ourselves  think  that 
they  (jfught.  We  have  no  suggestion  to 
make  to  those  who  express  their  discontent 
in  oppressing  their  fellows  or  in  riot  and 
arson.  The  bullet  and  the  prison  are  the 
only  remedies  for  their  disease.  But  we 
are  convinced  that  men  who  are  -willing 
and  able  ,to  .  work  in  this  country, 
and  who  respect  the  rights  of  others,  have 
much  to  complain  of  in  the  policy  and  laws 
of  the  United  States,  and  we  should  much 
prefer  to  see  a  man  of  Mr.  Conkling's  pre- 
tensions devoting  serious  attention  to  this 
problem  to  seeing  bim  make  such  curiously- 
mistaken  statements  as  he  made  last  night 
regsirding  foreign  countries. 

Mr.  CoNKLmo  seems  to  have  been  partic- 
ularly disgruntled  with  England,  He  found 
something  in  Paris  to  praise — the  spectacle 
of  working  men  sitting  on  the  curb-stone 
,all  niirht  *o  2Bt  a  cbanoe  to  invest  fiftr 


franes  in  a  govenunent  bond  "bearing  4  per 
cent.  That  was  an  impressive  lesson  for 
the  Senator,  though  it  does  not 
seem  to  have  let  any  light  in  on 
his  mind  as  to  the  relative  value 
of  wages  in  France  and  in  our  own  country. 
But  England  appears  to  him  a  peculiarly 
afSicted  land.  He  referred  with  especial 
emphasis  to  the  concentrated  power  of  "  the 
governing  few,"  to  the  small  ntunber  of 
voters,  the  hereditary  seats  in  the  House  of 
Lords,  and  to  ' '  taxation  to  maintain  a 
standing  Army,  in  which  commissions  are 
sold  for  money  or  given  to  sons  and  rela- 
tions." 

As  a  matter  of  fact  the  purchase  and  sale 
of  commissions  in  the  English  Army  has 
been  abolished,  and  that  so  recently,  and 
after  so  earnest  and  prolonged  a  discussion, 
that  it  is  little  less  than  ridiculous  foE_a 
man  as  high  in  pubHc  life  as  Mr.  CoNKLDia 
is  to  be  ignorant  regarding  it.  But,  as  "a  mat- 
ter of  theory  and  sentiment,  Sir.  Cokklbtg's 
aTersion  for  the  concentration  -of— power 
and  for  "  patronage"  is  something  of  quite 
recent  origin.  We  shall  not  be  sorry  if  the 
corruptions  of  the  aristocracy  of  England 
and  the  disorders  of  English  politics  have 
opened  his  eyes  to  the  inherent  evils  of  a 
system  which  he  has  done  so  much  to  estab- 
lish and  promote  in  his  own  country;  We 
do  not  believe  that  he  could  find  anywhere 
a  regime  more  arbitrary,  oppressive,  mis- 
chievous, and  intolerable  than  that  of  his 
own  qffice-holdiug  subordinates  in  possession 
of  the  Republican  machine  in  New- York 
State.  The  charms,  as  well  as  the  faults  of  a 
"  governing  few"  ought  to  be  plain  to  a  man 
who,  from  his  seat  in  the  Senate,  has  very 
recently  assumed  to  dictate  the  lines  within 
which  the  Republican  Party  of  an  entire 
State  should  move.  We  can  overlook  his 
curious  blunders  aa  to  fact  if  he 
has  experienced  any  change  of  heart 
on  this  important  point.  But  if  he 
thinks  that  an  office-holders'  oligarchy 
is  to  be  excused  because  our  unfortunate 
English  brethren  have  not  attained  to  the 
blessings  of  universal  suffrage,  he  is  in  er- 
ror— as  wide  of  the  mark  indeed,  as  when 
he  described  Albany,  his  "  birth-place  spot, 
as  standing  at  the  mouth  of  the  Mohawk 
and  the  head  of  the  Hudson,"  when  it  stands 
neither  in  one  place  nor  the  other. 


TSE  METRIC  SYSTEM. 
Nothing  more  clumsy  and  inconvenient 
could  well  bo  devised  than  the  dozen  or 
more  mensuration  tables  of  arithmetic, 
which  are  a  terror  to  childhood  and  almost 
impossible  to  retain  in  memory  through  life. 
There  are  in  use  lines,  barleycorns,  inches, 
nails,  ells,  quarts,  quarters,  gallons,  pecks, 
bushels,  coombs,  minims,  noggins,  kild- 
erkins, firkins,  barrels,  butts,  pipes, 
puncheons,  tierces,  hogsheatis,  scruples, 
carats,  grains,  drams,  pennyweights, 
and  many  others.  There  are  3'2 
gallons  in  a  barrel  of  cider,  3II2  or  36  in  one 
of  ale  or  milk,  30  in  one  of  fish,  42  in  a 
tierce  of  oil,  63  in  a  hogshead  of  wine,  5-1 
in  one  of  beer,  '2  in  a  peck  of  grain ;  the 
"  dry"  gallon  contains  263  4-5  cubic 
inches,  the  wine  gallon  231,  the  beer  gal- 
lon 282  :  the  English  pound  avoirdupois  is 
heavier  than  the  pound  troy,  but  the  ounce 
avoirdupois  is  lighter  tliau  the  ounce  troy  ; 
the  "ton"  is  2,000  or  2,240  poimds,  ac- 
cording as  it  is  ordinary  or  "  long ;"  12  units 
make  a  dozen,  and  20  units  a  score:  24 
sheets  of  paper  make  a  quire,  20  quires  a 
ream,  and  25  envelopes  a  pack.  In  "  long" 
measure,  for  example,  we  pass  from  barley- 
corns to  inches,  feet,  yards,  rods,  furlongs, 
miles,  and  leagues,  multipMng  by  3,  12, 
3,  ."j'.j,  I6I21  -It),  8,  3,  and  in  reduction 
back  reversing  this  order ;  the  mile  is 
"  statute,"  "  nautical,  "  '"  geographical ;" 
there  are  three  measures  for  weighiiig  sol- 
ids; and.  in  short,  we  cannot  touch  the 
present  tables  anyvvhere  without  finding 
them  a  tissue  of  vagueness,  inconsistency, 
and  vexatious  absurdity. 

We  have  to  measure  things  in  four  re- 
spects :  length  or  simple  extension,  surface, 
capacity,  weight  or  ponderability.  Of 
course,  wh.at  we  call  a  yard  might  as  well 
bear  another  name  and  bo  of  another 
length  ;  measures  are  arbitrary,  the  essen- 
tial thing  being  that  they  shall  possess  sim- 
plicity, unity,  and  convenience.  The  meas- 
ures now  in  use  are  a  burles<|ue  upon  these 
qualities ;  like  the  German  gender  and  our 
words  ending  in  "  ough,"  they  are  all  ex- 
ceptions and  obey  no  rule.  Take  any  table 
as  a  test,  and  we  find,  as  in  the  example 
above  quoted,  that  in  proceeding  from 
larger  to  smaller  dirisions  or  back,  both  the 
terms  and  the  multiples  change  utterly,  there 
being  neither  unity  nor  relation  between 
them ;  and  even  in  square  and  cubic  measures 
— which  have  a  sort  of  conformity  to  long 
measure — the  reductions  are  exceedingly 
clumsy,  it  being  necessary,  for  example,  in 
order  to  reduce  cubic  inches  to  perches  and 
feet,  to  divide  successively  by  1,728  and 
2434.  To  retain  these  tables,  which  seem 
to  have  been  framed  by  different  persons 
independently,  is  an  unrelieved  tax  on 
memory,  and  to  use  them  is  a  tax  upon  time 
and  patience. 

The  e.xjilanation  Of  their  faults  is  found  in 
their  lack  of  a  definite  base-unit,  for  when 
that  is  wanting  and  the  various  quantities 
are  to  bear  various  names  one  name  is  as 
good  as  another,  and  various  multiples 
naturally  are  taken.  The  metric  or  inter- 
national system,  devised  by  study,  and 
rightfully  called  a  system,  begins  by  taking 
as  its  permanent  base-unit  the  ten-millionth 
part  of  one-fourth  the  earth's  circumference, 
equal  to  39.37  inches.  The  system  consists 
of  just  two  rules:  using  the  decimal  10  as 
the  rate  of  progression,  thus  continuously 
multiplying  or  dividing  the  unit-metre  by 
10  to  get  larger  or  smaller  measures, 
and  of  forming  the  other  measures  upon 
that  of  length.  Four  tables  make  the  whole 
— for  the  absurdity  of  having  several  tables 
of  weight  is  avoided — and  the  following  is 
the  table  of  length,  the  equivalents  in  meas- 
ures of  present  use  being  added : 

Metres.  Inches. 

.001  or         0.0394 
.01    or  0.3937 

.1      or  3.937 

1  or       39.37 

10         or     393.7 
100         or  3,937 

UUes. 

One  kilometre  e<]u*ls...  1,000  or  0.62137 
One  myriametro  equals  10,000  or  6.2137 

Ordinarily  this  is  written,  10  millimetres 
make  a  centimetre,  10  centimetres  mal^e  a 
decimetre,  just  as  we  write,  10  nulls  make 
a  cent,  the  metric  terms  corresponding 
successively  to  mill,  cent,  dime,  dollar, 
eagle.  The  imit  of  weight  is  the  gram, 
that  of  capacity  the  litre,  and  that  of  surface 
the  ar.    To  icet  measures  of  tMnstcrts  the 


One  millimetre  equals . . 
One  centimetre  equals. . 
One  decimetre  equals. .. 

One  metre  equals 

One  decametre  equals.. 
One  hectometre  equals . 


measures  of  length  are  cubed,  and  to  get 
measures  of  surface  are  squared ;  to  get 
weight  measures,  the  weights  of  the 
cubed  metre  and  its  divisions  in  water 
are  taken.  Thus,  the  miUilitre  is 
simply  the  centimetre  cubed,  or  the  cube 
whose  side  is  acentimetre  square,  and  whose 
edge  is  a  centimetre  long  ;  the  litre  is  the  de- 
cimetre cubed  ;  the  gram  is  the  weight  of 
the  milliliter  of  distilled  water  ;  the  kilolitre 
is  a  oubie  metre,  and  the  tonneau  its  weight 
in  water  ;  the  centar  is  a  metre  squared, 
and  the  ar  is  100  square  metres.  The 
metric  system  is  a  geometrical  progression 
using  10  only — an  extension  of  the  decimal 
notation  already  established  in  our  poinage. 
To  enlarge  upon  the  advantages  of  this  no- 
tation is  superfluous.  For  example,  to  re- 
duce 1543514  inches  we  must  divide  by 
12,  3,  51^,  40,  andS  ;  to  reduce  1543514 
centimetres,  we  point  off  thus  :  15,435,14, 
and  read,  15  kilometres,  435  metres,  and 
14  centimetres. 

A  universal  language  is  the  dream  of  some. 
It  is  already  realized  in  music,  in  figures, 
and  to  a  considerable  and  increasing  extent 
in  mensuration.  Where  mankind  would  be 
now  if  civilized  nations  did  not  concur  in 
one  system  of  notation  by  figures  it  would 
be  hard  to  say ;  the  metric  system  proposes 
to  carry  into  measures  the  Arabic  or  ,deci- 
nial  notation,  and  no  other  has  any  prospect 
of  becoming  an  inteiiiational  or  universal 
language.  The  metre  itself  dates  back  to 
1790.  President  Washington  urged  upon 
Congress  the  importance  of  "  a  standard  at 
once  ftivariable  and  universal ;"  President 
Madison,  in  his  Message  of  1816,  spoke  of 
"  the  great  utility  of  a  standard  fixed  in  its 
nature,  and  founded  on  the  easy  rule  of 
decimal  proportions ;"  Jefferson  wished  to 
reduce  "every  branch  to  the  same  decimal 
ratio  already  established  with  coins  ;"  John 
QuiNCY  Adams  enthusiastically  declared  the 
metric  system  more  valuable  than  the  steam- 
engine  as  a  labor  saver  ;  and  English  teach- 
ers estimate  that  its  full  adoption  would 
save  England  $1,750,000  a  year  in  school 
expenses  and  two  years'  school  life  to  every 
child.  For  many  years  the  foot,  divided 
into  tenths,  has  been  used  by  architects, 
engineers,  and  some  other  profesional  work- 
ers, who  could  no  longer  tolerate  the  clumsy 
12.  The  metric  system  was  completely 
adopted  by  Prance  in  1840,  and  since  1863 
has  been  adopted  by  more  than  a  dozen  na- 
tions, its  use  being  made  compulsory  by 
most  of  them;  it  was  legalized  in  this 
country  in  1866,  and  the  Coinage  act  of 
1873  made  the  legal  weight  of  the  half  dol- 
lar I2I2  grams,  thus  putting  silver  on  the 
metric  basis,  the  other  coins  being  already 
very  nearly  80.  The  21  nations,  including 
this,  constituting  the  International  Postal 
Union  of  1874,  express  as  such  their  postal 
rates  metrically,  and  all  mail  matter  be- 
tween the  United  States  and  Europe  is  thus 
weighed ;  and  as  15  grams,  for  postal  pur- 
poses equivalent  to  the  half  ounce,  are 
actually  .53  of  an  ounce,  merchants  can 
increase  the  Single-rate  limit  on  their  for- 
eign letters  6  per  cent,  by  procuring  and 
using  metric  scales. 

At  least  five-sixths  of  our  commerce  is 
with  nations  which  use^he  metric  system, 
exclusively  or  in  part  ;  most  of  the  foreign 
orders  for  American  machinery  are  metri- 
cally expressed  ;  and  some  large  establish- 
ments have  voluntarily  discarded  the  old 
measures.  Metric  scales  have  been  fur- 
nished to  every  State,  and  the  system  is 
being  pushed,  chiefly  through  schools  and 
colleges,  in  a  way  we  have  not  space  to  set 
forth.  We  have  attempted  no  more  than  to 
give  a  sketch  of  and  direct  attention  to  a 
subject  of  which,  even  aside  from  its  prac- 
tical bearings,  nobody  claiming  to  be  well 
informed  can  justifiably  longer  remain 
ignorant. 


OVE  VERBAL  HEAKSESSES. 

Nearly  all  foreigners  who  have  visited 
this  country  in  an  observing  spirit  have 
noticed  the  national  fondness  for  big  or 
high-sounding  names.  Our  republican 
simplicity  fails  to  affect  our  nomencla- 
ture, which  is  so  apt  to  be  pretentious  and 
turgid  that  one  might  think  we  sought 
therein  for  some  kind  of  indemnification  for 
our  plain  democratic  institutions.  As  a 
people  we  have  a  love  of  bigness.  We 
like  to  think  and  boast  of  our  coimtry's 
vast  physical  dimensions,  of  our  broad  prai- 
ries and  plains,  of  our  mighty  lakes,  our 
long  rivers,  our  high  mountains.  We  are 
pleased  to  contrast  our  material  proportions 
with  the  pigmy  confines  of  most  of  the 
European  States  ;  to  discredit  the  Thames, 
Seine  or  Rhine,  with  mention  of  the  Ohio, 
Missouri,  or  Mississippi ;  to  declare  in  a 
patronizing  way  that  Texas  alone  is  far 
larger  than  all  England  or  France.  Indeed, 
there  is  little  doubt  that  we  are  inclined  to 
confound  bigness  with  greatness — to  put  the 
containing  power  above  the  power  con- 
tained. 

As  we  have  such  a  fancy  for  big  things,  it 
is  natural  that  we  should  relish  big  names, 
especially  when  the  things  they  represent 
are  not  what  w§  think  they  ought  to  be. 
We  are  disposed  to  make  reparation  for,  if 
not  to  cover,  any  of  our  shortcomings  by 
inflated  titles.  Whatever  is  small  or  unim- 
portant we  attach  a  grand  name  to,  imagin- 
ing, «uch  is  our  rapid  growth,  that  the 
future  will  justify  the  designation.  We  ap- 
pear, in  short,  to  prefer  seeming  to  being, 
thtts-eenveying  a  false  impression  when  our 
sole  aim  is  to  be  dignified.  Grandiose  ter- 
minology is  most  prevalent  in  new  parts  of 
the  republic,  particularly  in  the  West ;  but 
there  is  enough  of  it  everywhere  to  demon- 
strate a  general  failing. 

Save  in  older  portions  of  the  country,  it 
is  hard  to  discover  an  insignificant  town,  or 
a  new  settlement  of  any  kind,  to  which  the 
title  of  '•  city"  has  not  been  appended.  Be- 
yond the  Mississippi,  all  that  is  essential  to 
a  "  city"  is  a  blacksmith's  shop,  a  "  store," 
and  a  bar-room.  Not  infrequently  a  coimty 
containing  less  than  ten  thousand  inhabi- 
tants may  include  half  a  dozen  "  cities." 
In  one  of  the  new  Territories  bordering  the 
Pacific  slope,  in  a  county  where  the  census 
showed  but  eleven  hundred  and  fifty-three 
people  a  few  years  ago,  there  were  actually 
thirteen  cities,  one  of  them  embracing  as 
permanent  residents  only  two  families  and  a 
venerable  negro.  The  appellation  is  pre- 
sumed to  anticipate  what  is  to  come, 
perhaps  to  infiuence  destiny  by  encouraging 
unborn  events.  After  the  scattering  settle- 
ment or  cross-roads  hamlet  has  really  ac- 
quired size  and  consequence,  "  city"  is 
dropped,  because  the  town  is  then  believed 
to  be  able  to  prosper  on  its  own  merits. 
All  the  points  of  any  importance  in  Nebras- 
ka, Colorado,  and  Nevada  have  but  very  re- 


cently ceased  to  be  cities,  and  the  insignifi- 
cant places  still  remain  such. 

Judging  by  names,  we  should  be  the  most 
musical  of  nations.  The  entire  land  is 
studded  with'  opera-houses  or  academies  of 
music,  even  the  frontier  towns  being  well 
supplied  with  them.  To  read  the  advertise- 
ments in  their  newspapers  you  would 
conclude  that  they  were  Leipzigs  or 
'Viennas.  Yet  when  yon  ■visit  them,  you 
may  be  surprised  to  find  that  many 
of  the  inhabitants  have  never  heard 
a  complete  opera,  and  are  ignorant  of  the 
difference  between  a  bravura  and  a  barom- 
eter. Knowing  that  New- York  has  two 
opera-houses — closed  most  of  the  time — and 
that  one  of  them  is  styled  the  Academy  of 
Music,  (the  Academy  of  the  Sick  Muse 
would  be  more  appropriate,)  they  resolve 
not  to  be  behind  the  Metropolis,  at  least  in 
names.  Consequently,  they  call  their  old 
theatre  an  opera-house,  or  put  up  a  building 
in  which  concerts  or  dramatic  performances 
are  occasionally  given,  and  dub  it  an  acad- 
emy of  music.  They  seem  not  to  know 
that  even  this  great  City  has  never  yet  sus- 
tained the  opera  as  a  regular  or  permanent 
entertainment,  and  thatoiir  very  brief  "sea- 
sons" are  nearly  always  attended  with  seri- 
ous risk  to  managers. 

The  Italian  opera,  or,  indeed,  opera  of  any 
sort,  seldom  prospers  under  the  most  favor- 
able circumstances.  Paris  bolsters  up  the 
opera  with  a  liberal  government  subsidy ; 
London,  despite  its  large  subscriptions,  its 
titled  and  immensely  rich  and  privileged 
class,  cannot  prevent  its  opera  managers 
from  failing  periodically.  But  all  this  does 
not  hinder  Joliet,  Oshkosh,  and  Virginia 
City  from  having  their  opera-houses  and 
academies  of  music,  even  though  these  be 
surrendered  in  the  main,  when  used  at  all, 
to  political  conventions,  church  festivals, 
and  exhibitions  of  pugilistic  art.  We  can 
give  up,  if  need  be,  most  of  the  blessings  of 
a  free  government ;  but  opera-houses  vrith- 
out  opera  are  absolutely  indispensable. 

We  are  more  enamored  of  imposing  names 
than  the  French.  "Grand"  is  one  of  our 
verbal  weaknesses.  We  have  grand  hotels, 
grand  concerts,  grand  parades,  grand  ban- 
quets, grand  receptions,  grand  caucuses, 
grand  debates  in  Congress,  grand  prom- 
enades, grand  free  lunches,  even  grand 
babies  and  grand  lager  beer.  There  is  no 
boundary  to  our  grandness ;  no  application 
of  it  is  reckoned  as  absurd.  We  scorn 
such  good  old  titles  as  "inn"  and 
"  tavern,"  and  put  "  hotel "  in  their  stead. 
A  miserable  shanty,  where '  dyapepsia,_-.a 
populoS  bed,  and  general  disgust  may  be 
had  for  three  or  four  dollars  a  day,  is  as 
much  a  hotel  as  the  gilded  and  be- 
mirrored  palace  on  Broadway.  Public 
dinners  are  out  of  vogue ;  we  will 
compromise  on  nothing  less  than  a 
"banquet."  If  the  table  be  ill  supplied,  and 
the  supply  altogether  unsatisfactory,  it  is  a 
banquet,  nevertheless.  Better  is  a  banquet 
without  wine  and  with  nothing  to  eat,  than 
a  dinner  flowing  with  the  choicest  vintage 
of  the  grape  and  heaped  with  every  luxury. 

Cottages  and  country  houses  have  ver- 
bally beeu  demolished,  and  "  -villas " 
erected  on  their  sites.  Servants  have 
vanished  from  the  American  world,  and 
been  replaced  by  domestics.  Dress-mak- 
ers have  grown  to  be  modistes ;  corn-doc- 
tors, chiropodists;  tailors,  sign-painters, 
and  barbers,  artists.  Ticket  agents  are 
designated  as  Generals ;  Captains  of 
tugs  and  canal-boats  as  Commodores  ; 
ordinary  school-teachers  and  brazen  moun- 
tebanks as  Professors.  Long  endured  in- 
capables  and  men  detected  in  repeated  acts 
of  dishonesty,  who  have  been  dismissed  from 
position,  are  said  to  have  tendered  their 
resignation  ;  and  confessed  thieves  are  per- 
mitted to  retire  from  office  on  account  of 
suspected  "  irregidarities."  There  is  no  end 
to  our  big  names  and  fine  phrases.  Present- 
ly, no  doubt,  we  shall  speak  of  bar-tenders 
as  dispensers  of  ossthetic  cocktails,  and  of 
burglars  as  gentlemen  of  irrepressible 
dynamic  instinct. 


A  MAGNETIC  CURE. 

Nature  has  so  constructed  the  ordinary 
girl  (Jilia  dontestica)  as  to  enable  her  system 
to  harmlessly  assimilate  needles  when  in- 
troduced into  the  stomach  by  way  of  the 
esophagus — or.  in  short,  when  swallowed. 
Girls  have  been  known  to  swallow  dozens 
of  needles  in  small  successive  doses  with- 
out experiencing  any  unpleasant  effects. 
Needles,  when  thus  introduced  into  the 
stomach,  quietly  meander  through  the  in- 
terior avenues  and  lanes  of  the  swallower, 
and  ultimately  emerge  in  the  most  unexpect- 
ed localities  -without  having  given  rise  to 
any  perceptible  symptoms.  Why  girls  ever 
swallow  needles  is  a  mystery — as,  indeed, 
is  everything  that  every  girl  ever  does. 
Still,  they  do  swallow  them,  and  are  none 
the  worse  for  it ;  a  fact  that  is  the  despair 
of  inquisitive  scientific  persons. 

On  the  other  hand,  a  needle,  when  in- 
serted into  a  girl  through  her  surface,  cre- 
ates more  disturbance  than  is  created  by 
twice  the  number  of  needles  thrust  into 
double  the  quantity  of  young  men.  If  a 
young  man  unwarily  pricks  himself  with  a 
needle,  he  merely  explains  to  the  surrotmd- 
ing  universe  the  Calvinistic  theory  of  tho 
future  state  of  the  unregenerate,  and  then 
says  no  more  about  the  matter;  whereas 
the  girl  who  finds  herself  pierced  by  an  un- 
expected needle,  devotes  the  remainder  of 
the  day  to  nerves,  doctors,  and  patent  pain- 
killers ;  and  cherishes  a  lively  anticipa- 
tion of  lock-jaw  for  several  consecutive 
weeks.  We  may  not  understand  the  reason 
of  these  things,  but  we  know  that  they  are 
so.  Hence,  when  a  girl  swallows  needles, 
we  simply  look  at  her  with  wonder,  love, 
amazement ;  but  when  a  needle  breaks  into 
her  system  by  some  other  and  irregular  way, 
we  hasten  for  doctors  and  pincers. 

The  experience  of  a  young  lady -of  Ade- 
laide, South  Australia,  in  the  matter  of  in- 
serted needles,  deserves  to  be  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  American  public,  both  be- 
cause of  its  scientific  value  and  of  the 
beautiful  lessons  of  fortitude  which  it  con- 
veys. In  an  unwary  moment  this  young 
lady  was  pierced  byan  accidental  needle  to 
an  alarming  depth.  In  fact,  the  needle 
entered  the  flesh  so  deeply  as  to'  vanish 
completely  from  sight  without  leaviug  even 
the  slightest  apparent  wound  to  show  its 
precise  locality.  Of  course,  the  young  lady 
knew  in  a  formal  way  where  the  needle  was. 
The  pain  oatised  by  it  extended  over  a  large 
area  of  her  person,  but  she  could  indicate 
pretty  nearly  its  position.  Still,  as  in  the 
case  of  the  traditional  skipper,  who,  passing 
the  palm  of  his  hand  over  the  lower  half  of 
the  chart  of  the  North  Atlantia.  remarked 


to  his  admiring  mate,  "  Now,  -we're  some- 
wheres  herealx)Uts,'\,there  -was  an  undesir- 
able vagueness  in  the  young  woman's  de- 
scription of  the  location  of  the  needle.  In 
these  circumstances  the  attending  surgeon 
announced  that  he  would  be  compelled  to 
prospect  for  the  needle  by  sinking  a  series 
of  shafts  and  driving  galleries  and  trenches 
in  different  directions.  He  assured  the 
patient  that  in  time  he  would  certainly 
strike,  the  needle  and  exhume  it,  but  that 
mere  aimless  digging  here  and  there  would 
be  grossly  unscientific,  and  would  probably 
fail  to  find  the  desired  object. 

Just  here  it  may  be  well  to  say  that  there 
is  no  reargSJund  for  stispecting  the  yomig 
lady's  small -brother  of  any  share  in  the  dis- 
aster. Of  course,  every  one  knows  that  the 
small  boy  is  addicted  to  strewing  the  chairs 
of  school-teachers  and  large  clergymen  with 
pins  bent  in  such  a  manner  as  to  present 
the  i>oint  upward ;  but  as  needles  cannot  be 
bent  -without  breaking  they  are  never  put 
to  a  similar  use.  Moreover,  the  Adelaide 
press  is  unanimous  in  asserting  that  a  "  set- 
tee," and  not  a  chair,  was  involved  in  the 
affair  in  question.  Now,  no  small  boy,  how- 
ever good  and  intelligent  he  may  be,  ever 
places  sharp  instruments  of  torture  on  a 
"settee" — a  term  believed  to  be  synony- 
mous with  sofa.  The  element  of  uncer- 
tainty would  enter  altogether  too  largely 
into  such  a  plan.  The  small  boy  could  not 
possibly  tell  upon  what  precise  part  of  the 
sofa  his  intended  victim  would  seat  himself, 
and  he  would  never  prepare  for  himself  the 
bitter  disappointment  of  seeing  a  fat  clergy- 
man sit  down  upon  one  end  of  a  sofa  un- 
conscious of  the  pin  placed  for  him  at  the 
other.  While  these  arguments,  go  *very  far 
to  show  the  improbability  that  the  young 
lady's  brother  was  the  final  cause  of  her 
disaster,  the  fact  that  she  had  no  brother 
whatever  definitely  settles  the  question. 
Probably  she  herself  dropped  the  needle  on 
the  settee  and  forgot  all  about  it  until  cir- 
cumstances brought  it  sharply  to  her  no- 
tice. 

No  sooner  had  the  surgeon  made  his  diag- 
nosis than  he  produced  his  excavating  tools 
and  his  battles  of  chloroform,  horse  liniment, 
and  other  paUjatives,  and  took,  off  his  coat 
with  a  view  t6  immediate  action.  But  to 
his  astonishment  the  young  lady  peremp- 
torily declined  his  services.  She  was  ready, 
80  she  said,  to  have  the  needle  properly  ex- 
tracted, but  she  declined  to  be  viewed  in 
the  light  of  a  mining  placer,  and  to  havener 
surface  rendered  rough  and  unsightly  with 
mounds  and  excavations.  Whereupon  the 
discomfited  surgeon  pocked  up  his  imple- 
ments and  departed  -with  much  dignity,  as- 
suring her  that  the  needle  would  soon  find 
its  way  to  some  -vital  organ,  and  cause  her 
to  perish  miserably. 

For  three  long  weeks  that  unfortunate 
young  lady  kept  her  bed,  lying  in  a  con- 
strained and  painful  position,  but  never 
once  showing  any  evidence  of  the  suffering 
which  she  endured  except  by  howling  and 
Aearing  the  sheets  and  pillow-cases.  Every 
one  said  her  patience  and  sweetness  were 
more  than  human,  and  that  she  was  more,  of 
an  angel  than  quite  a  number  of  distinct- 
ively unangelic  persons.  At  the  end  of  the 
three  weeks  a  happy  thought  occurred  to 
the  young  lady's  father.  He  suggested  that 
the  exhibition  of  a  large  magnet  would 
possibly  bring  the  needle  to  the  surface. 
Accordingly  a  magnet  of  enormous  size  was 
procured  and  placed  in  contact  with  the 
yoimg  lady's  surface,  in  the  supposed 
neightxjrhood  of  the  needle.  Three  days 
later  the  needle  yielded  to  the  attraction  ; 
gently  forced  its  way  out,  and  clung  to  the 
magnet  as  though  overjoyed  at  its  release 
from  imprisonment.  The  young  ladj'  rose 
up  from  her  bed  and  enjoyed,  with  a  zest 
which  she  had  never  before  experienced, 
the  luxury  of  sitting  in  a  rocking-chair,  and 
her  father  immediately  furnished  his  favorite 
newspaper  with  a  full  account  of  her  re- 
markable om-e. 

This  story  teaches  the  value  of  magnets 
and  the  beauty  of  patience  and  fortitude. 
Let  us  hope  that  other  young  ladies  who 
read  it  will  feel  strengthened  to  go  and  do 
likewise.

The  Kentucky  Republicans  had  six  members

The  Lexington  (Ky.)  Press  thus  consoles  itself 
in  the  disappointment  of  defeat :  "  Bianton  Duncan's

face when  the  dregs  were  stirred  up." 

A  Georgia  paper  credits  Robert  Toombs  -with 
tbe  intention  to  stump  the  State  against  tbe  nroposed

his  manner,  that  he  "  could  take  Foster  Biodgett  and 
five  niggers  and  make  a  better  Constitution  tlian  this 
Convention  will  make." 

The  Rutland  (Vt.)  Herald  thinks  that  it  really

A  SPEECH  OP  WELCOlin  DELIVERnU  BY  SENA- 
TOR KERNAN— MR.  COKKLIKG'S  REPLT — 
COMPLIMENTARY  REMARKS  EXPRESSED  AT? 
ALBANY. 

Utica,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  14.— The  General 
Committee  of  Arrangements  from  Utica  and 
the  coimty  for  the  reception  of  Senator  Conk- 
ling  met  him  at  Little  Falls,  where  there  was  a 
veryhearty  greeting,  on  the  part  of  the  people 
of  that  place.  There  were  salutes,  illumina- 
tions, decorations,  and  fireworks.  Senator 
Conkling  made  a  brief  acknowledgement  of 
the  welcome,  and  tlie  train  sped  on  to 
Utica,  reaching  here^t  >S:30  P.  M.  The  Utica 
Citizens'  Corps  escorted  Senator  Conkling  and 
the  committee  to  Bagg's-square,  where  the  Mil- 
itia and  civic  organizations  of  Utica  and  country 
delegations  cheered  the  party  and  fell  into  line. 
The  route  through  Genesee.  Hopper,  and  Kut- 
eers  streets  to  Senator  Conkling's  residenco  was 
brilliantly  illuminated,  and  fireworks  were  dis- 
played at  all  points.  The  grounds  around  the 
residence  were  handsomely  decorated  with  Chi- 
nese lanterns  and  lighted  with  locomotive 
lamps. 

Senator  Keman,  in  behalf  of  Utica  and  Oneida 
County,  welcomed  3Ir.  Conkling,  as  follows : 

Mr.  Con-klino  :  This  laiTje  meeting  of  citizens 
from  all  the  walks  of  life  spi*aks  more  significantly 
aud  eloquently  ihan  any  words  which  I  can  utter 
the  higb  e^itiaiBtinn  iu  which  vou  are  held  by  th^ 
community  in  which  you  live.  The  eenllemen  her* 
assembled  are  your  neighbors.  They  are  from 
Utica  and  tlie  surrounding  countrj*.  They  have 
known  you  from  your  early  manhood,  and  . 
have  witnessed  your  career  through  life  with  peculiar 
interest.  They  are  of  all  polilicaf  parties.  All  these, 
your  neighboi^,  come  here  to-night  to  testify  their 
regard  and  respect  for  you :  to  express  their  gratifi- 
cation that  you  have  safely  returned  from  your 
journey  across  t!ie  Atlantic  to  the  Old  World  in 
restored  health  and  strength,  and  to  lender 
vou  a  warm  and  hearty  welcome  home. 
In  their  name  and  on  their  behalf,  and  rordially  and 
sincerely  uniting  with  them.  1  say  to  you.  Mr.  Conk- 
ling. '\\elcome  back  to  Utica.  Welcome  to  your 
home. 

Mr._  Conkling  then  replied  a.s  follow!- : 

If  any  man  could  fitly  acknowledge  and  re- 
spond to  all  this,  I  am  not  he.  Such  a  wel- 
come.- such  a  muirnitlcent  inaHtfestatlon  of 
goodness  and  generosity,  would  be  memor- 
able in  a  life  of  nsefuluess  and  worth  to  which  I  can 
lay  no  claim.  Its  most  agreeable  feature  is  ttie 
absence  of  party  lines.  Among  those  from  whom 
it  comes  are  many  who  have  differed  with  me  in  the 
sharp  political  coili-sions  of  tbe  past.  For  more  than 
'2.0  years  we  have  engaged  in  contests,  often  wa^ed 
with  a  heat  and  ardor  which  has  not  always  stopjted, 
1  fear,  with  mf-re  difference  of  politi(il  opinion- 
to-night  the  bugles  of  party  sound  a  trace,  and  you 
come  as  neighbors  and  friends  to  greet  a  neighbor 
and  afriend.  Twenty  years  is  a  great  while.  Since  it 
began  time  with  his  frostv  fiugers  liaa  cooled  and  sil- 
vered many  a  brow,  and  /  can  say  truly  that  no  word, 
harsh  or  stinging  toward  a  political  opponent,  ever 
passed  my  lips  which  I  would  not  to-night  eladly  re- 
call. Sneaking  to  Democrats  not  leas  than  to  Repub- 
licans ;  speaking  to  the  organizations  aud  to  the  In- 
dividuals who  have  bestowed  all  the  trouble  which 
this  demonstration  attests  ;  Bpealdn^  to  ray  honest 
oolleague  In  the  Senate  who  has  come  here  to  say 
elorjuent  and  undeserved  words :  speaking  to  all  my 
voice  can  reach.  IronderyoulheacknowleQirm»-ntof  n 
grateful  heart,  and  return  in  measure  heapt^d  up 
every  sentiment  of  friendshij*  you  can  feel  for  me  or 
mine-  Disclaiming  the  credit'  generallv  ascribed  Xc 
me.  by  Senator  Keman.  I  am  glad  of  a  public  occasion 
toreferto  one  of  the  most  pleaidng  incideuls  of  my 

Eubhc  service.  During  the  brief  time  that  we  have 
een  colleagues  in  the  Senate,  we  have  been  called  to 
act  on  questions  <)f  deep  concern  to  the  State  of 
Xew-Yont  and  to  everj*  State  in  the  Union. 
In  one  memorable  -*  iustance  the  coantry  was 
in  more  imminent  peril  than  you  at 
home  could  fully  realize — in  danger  of  being 
disgraced  before  tho  worUl,  and  involved 
in  commotions  and   consequences  which   no   dtizou 

Kssessed  of  property,  saying  nothing  of  the  patriot- 
Q  or  pride  of  couiitry.  could  ever  liave  ceased  to 
deplore.  On  this,  occasion,  and  on  all  occasions  when 
the  interest  of  our  countr>'  or  our  State  were  In- 
volved, no  political  antagonism  kept  us  apart.  He 
will  confirm  me  in  saying  that  there  has  never  been 
an  hour  when  we  could  aot  confer'as  freely  ujwn 
public  measures  as  if  we  liad  been  members  of  tht* 
same  poUtioaJ  party.  If  either  of  us  hud  ciit»?red  the 
Senate  believing  tliat  men  caimot  be  ardeut  party 
men  and  at  the  same  time  b«*  patriots,  ourai^s'*- 
ciatcs  would  have  undece:%-ed  us  if  we  had  not 
undeceived  ourselves.  lie  is  a  pretty  staunch  Demo- 
crat, but  he  never  seemed  to  be  Demwrat  entmgh  :■» 
believe  it  would  hurt  his  party  to  do  right.  I  trust  I 
have  never  been  Hepubhcau  enough  to  believe  it  a 
part  of  the  RepubUcan  creed  to  do  wrong.  lAp- 
pl  Hu.se.] 

Vou  may  expect  me  to  sav  sometltiug  of  ray  jonr- 
nev  abroad.  If  I  tell  the  w)iole  truth  "ilr.  I-awn.*uco 
■xriil  luugh  at  me,  evea  if  Tiob«>dy  else  latighs.  He  trav- 
els half  a  year  over  laJf  the  world,  then  he  conies 
home  aud  does  a  number  of  charities  and  tionie  other 
eood  thing*,  and  straightway  he  i«  readv  to  start 
again  and  travel  over  the  other  haH".  But  the  trutli 
is  I  was  homeMck — downright  homesick.  [Tjaughter.J 
The  further  I  went  the  m6re  it  sec-med  there  was  no, 
coimtrj'  like  America,  no  State  like  New-York.  no 
eountyiikeOneidit.no  city  like  Utica.  [Applause.] 
Tliis  is  a  confession  in  confidence.  T  hope  news- 
papers won't  tell  of  it.  Newspapers  hai*dly  ever  do  "1 — 
say  anything  you  don't  want  them  to.  [Laughter.] 
Bat  I  can  say  seriously  that  my  belief  is  no  American 
can  realize  the  progress  Amsrica  ha:i  mnde  till  he 
goes  and  compares  it  with  other  lands.  Without  see- 
ing other  countries,  it  is  hard  to  realize  how- 
bounteous  nature  and  l^rovideuce  have  been  to  us. 
we  suffer  just  now  from  hard  times  and  depressed 
industries.  You  see  all  this,  and  more,  abroad.  We 
thittk  Eiwd^nd  rich  in  the  ocean  carn-ing  trade.  So 
she  ts  -,  but  many  of  her  best  ships  are  Idle.  Steam- 
ship lines,  in  some  in^^tances,  alternate  with  eacii 
other,  running  only  half  the  time.  Manufacturers 
are  depressed  everywhere.  Working  meu  here 
are  dissatisfied  with  wages,  and  unwise  and 
lamentable  counsels  here  recently  led  to  lawless 
acts,  from  which  in  the  end  no  one 
will  suffer  so  much  a*i  their  authors  and 
abettors  aud  those  th«^-  assume  to  repre.seni.  I  wish 
they  could  all  goto  France  aud  England  and  see  the 
work  men  and  women  do  there,  and  hear  of  the 
wages  they  receive.  England,  deluding  the  12 
counties  of  Wales,  is  not  larger  than  tho  State  of 
New-York.  It  cont:uns  24.lKKl.000  people.  Loolc 
at  a  fact  or  two :  One  or  two  hundred  men  own  half 
of  England.  Their  estates  are  princely  reservations 
for  game  and  pleasure  and  opulence.  One  man  may 
ride  13  miles  in  one  direction  and  nearly  a«  far  in 
the  other  on  his  own  estate ;  and  when  he  dies  hii 
eldest  son  takes  it  alL 

The  State  of  New- York  has  less  than  5.000,000. 
Suppose  there  were  five  times  as  many,  and  then 
that  one-half  the  State  was  given  up  to  tbe  monopoly 
and  pleasure  of  1 50  noblemeu.  Suppose,  in  addi- 
tion, men  and  women  labored  In  the  fields  and 
mines,  and  that  the  wages  were  only  thcrse  paid 
in  England.  Suppose  cmly  one  man  In  three 
had  a  vote  or  voice  In  public  affairs  or  in 
making  laws,  and  that  the  great  body  of  working 
men  were  wholly  excluded  from  all  part  in  choosing 
the  members  of  the  only  House  of  Parliament  in 
which  the  seats  are  not  hereditary.  Then  suppose 
taxation  to  maintain  a  standing  army  In  whicJi  com- 
missions are  sold  for  money,  or  given  to  foub  and  re- 
lations :  and  tithes  taken  to  maintain  an  Established 
Church  in  which  Uviugs  are  S'dd  to  the  highest  bidder 
or  bestowed  as  patronage.  WTiat  would  the  working 
men  of  Pennsylvania  or  Ohio  think  of  such  condi- 
tions ?  We  are  all  workinir  men  In  America.  Ko 
class  has  a  monopoly  of  the  right  t*>  call  Itself  the 
working  class  here.  I  have  always  worked,  and  al- 
ways been  compelled  to  work,  and  my  Bympatlde* 
are*  all  with  honest  labor ;  I  believe  in  its  dignity 
and  in  all  its  rights.  But  when  the  tldines  of  tb* 
strike  reached  me  in  Paris,  under  my  eyes  was  a 
spectacle  which  seemed  to  heighten  the  madneu  of 
what  men  in  America  were  doing.  Tlie  (xovemment 
of  PVance  wan  borrowing  money,  and  on  the  curb- 
stone in  the  s:  reet  sat  men  all  night  to  get  each  his 
turn  in  tlie  morning  to  invest  in  the  loan.  They  were 
workmen,  who,  living  as  workmen,  do  not  and  reed 
not  live  here,  and  working  for  wages  which  American 
workmen  would  scorn,  had  by  hixik  or  by  crook  saved 
50  francs  each.  Fiftv  franc*  make  10  American  dol- 
lars, and  these  all-night  watchers  were  thereto  buy 
a  $10  bond,  on  which  tney  were  to  get  4  per  cent, 
interest-  There  sat  the  working  man  of  .France, 
amid  the  luiurv  of  the  more  fortunate,  contented 
with  what  fate  Vad  sent  him.  Can  it  be  that  liberty 
and  prosperilv  have  spoiled  any  portion  of  the  Amer- 
ican people  till  they  cannot  endure  their  share  in  a 
Season  of  common  adversity  I 

Another  advantage  of  every  class  in  America  im- 
pres.sed  me — the  fact  tliat  we  Imve  no  near  and  dan- 
gerous neighbors.  On  the  banks  of  the  Danube  Kus- 
sians  and  Turks  are  killhig  each  other.  This  does 
not  endanger  or  affect  us.  except  that  It  creates 
more  market  for  the  things  we  have  to  sell.  How  is 
it  with  the  Old  Worid,  where  nations  adjoin  each 
other  I  Ever^-  people  is  in  danger,  even'  tax-payer  and 
every  working  man  and  workiug  woman  is  In- 
volved. Great  Britain  must  hav«  a  road  to  India, 
where  she  governs  180,000. 0(K)  human  beings  with 
the  bayonet.  She  most  therefore  guard  the  Dar- 
danelles, the  Persian  Oult  the  Suez  Canal,  jmd  Con- 
stantinople. But  Russia,  and  Turkey,  and  Get^ 
many,  and  Austria,  and  France,  and  the  reKt,  ar« 
interested  also  in  these  same  things,-  or  In  what  they 
call  the  balance  of  power.  and  on  Ums 
judgment  or  caprice  of  kings  and  ruleM 
depends  the  question  whether  men  mnst  fight  azkd 
die,  and  women  must  toll  and  reap  in  half  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth.  Our  country  stands  apart  by  her- 
self in  the  amplitude  of  her  own  dominions.  It  is 
said  the  American  fiag  is  not  to  be  seen  as  oftaa  a* 
otlier  fiags  floating  from  mastheadb  in  foreign  ports. 
This  is  true  :  It  ought  to  be  otherwise — iit  most  b« 
otliorwise.  But  without  meeting  it  often  oai  the  sea, 
you  know  and  feel  that  the  starry  flag  la  at  home, 
and  that  from  home  It  makes  its  infiuence  and  power 
felt  around  the  world.  You  see  and  feel 
that'  H  shelters  and  protects  more  Uberty, 
more  Individual  prosperity,  more  of  homan  right, 
and  more  bright  promls**  for  the  future  than  can  be 
found  in  any  other  land.  Kingsliip.  monarchy, 
TjobiHty,  aristocracy  may  be  good  things— good  for 
the  few  witliin  the  charmed  circle — ^but  give  me  a 
land  of  equal  rights ;  a  land  where  there  is  no  law- 
making few.  and  where  no  man  is  ever  called  on  to 
obey  any  law  which  he  has  not  his  full  ihars 
in  enacting  and  changing.  GKve  me  a  l|and 
In  which  It  ia  the  right  and  duty  of 
every  man— of  every  man  whatsoever — to  tak» 
part  tn  all  the  electUms  and  all  the  proce«diii0  by

Conkling  passed  throuj»h  this  *:iiy  on  his  way 
to  Utica  to-day.  He  was  tendered  a  reception  by 
the  citiaeas.  The  Senator  was  introduced  and 
welcomed  by  Hon.  Rufus  W.  Peckhaib,  to  whom 
he  responded  as  follows :  _^ 

Kelt  to  the  spot  which  a  man  calls  his  home 
the  place  of  hia  birth  is  the  dearest  spot  in  all 
the  world.  For  me  that  birth-place  spot  la  Al- 
bany, and  hence,  fellow-citixMis,  you  can  readily 
Tmderstand  the  pleasnxa  with  which  I  ffreet  you.  I 
knew  many  of  your  fathers,  and  as  a  chUd  one  of  my 
greatest  siomirations  was  that  elegant  gentleman 
whose  son  has  jUHt  spoken  of  me  to  you  in  terms  of 
ao  much  kindness  and  courtesy.  As  a  man  I  have 
known  the  son,  and  it  always  gives  me  great  pleasure 
to  meet  with  him.  Fellow-cituens,  T  most  smcerely 
thank  you  for  this  greeting  and  for  the  realization 
thns  given  of  the  fact  that  as  an  Albanian  I 
■tin  havs  a  place  on  the  roll  of  your  city. 
I  am  gratefuhand  proud  for  the  evidence  of  your  re- 
gard,  and  beg  to  aasnxe  you  that  nothing  that  con- 
cerns your  interest  or  that  of  your  dty  can  ever  be  a 
matter  of  indifference  to  me.  This  stately  (^ity  of

you.  Acain.  let  me  say  that  I  can  never  be  fndlffer- 
eaft  to  Its  interests  or  yours,  whatever  my  lot  or 
station.  I  have  no  intemtion  of  inflicting  a  long  set 
speech  upon  you,  ana  again  thanking  you  for  this

TBIAXISM  FOR  THE  CHAMPIONSaiP  SO 
CALLED — DOLE  DEFEATS  BROWX  IN  A 
SEVEN-MILE  WALK. 

Sptciai  Digpat^  to  the  XeicYori  T^mes. 

Providence,  R.  I.,  Aug.  1-t.— Despite  the 
excessive  snitryness  of  the  weather  to-day,  upward 
■of  l.OOO  people  witnessed  the  seven-mile  walking 
zoateh  between  Lester  C.  Dole.  of  New- 
Haven,  Conn.,  and  William  Brown,  of  Providence. 
R.  I.  The  articles  of  agreement  show  that  the 
match  was  for  $500  and  the  championship  of  Ameri- 
ca, so  called.  Some  little  time  ago  Dole  issued  what 
he  called  a  challenge  to  the  world,  which  was  prompt- 
ly taken  up  by  Brown,  and  after  the  usual 
amount  of  preliminaries  had  been  settlei^l. 
the  match  under  consideration  was  consum- 
mated. The  start  was  fixed  for  3:30  o'clock, 
but  liearly  an  hour  elapsed  before  the  men  pot  in  an 
appearance.  All  being  in  readiness,  they  were  sent 
on  .their  way.  Brown  having  a  shade  the  best 
of  the  send-off.  At  the  quarter  pole  he 
led      the    'way.      At     the     half-mile     jwst     they 

were  side  by  side,  bnt  in  the  next  440  yards  Dole 
spurted  and  wont  on  with  the  lead-  But  he  was  not 
allowed  to  maintain  it  long,  as  Brown  came 
down  the  home  stretch  with  a  rush,  and 
finished  the  first  mile  about  a  yard  aht^ud. 
For  the  next  quarter  of  a  mile  Dole  succeeded  in 
getting  up  .to  Brown's  shoulder,  and  a  few  strides 
further  on  he  passed  his  man.  Brown  responded 
with  a  cnont^T  »pnrt,  and  so  they  kept  on 
for  several  hundred  yards.  Kearing  the  completion, 
of  the  second  mile  Brown  let  hiiuseu  out  in  u  fine 
burst  of  speed,  and  crossed  the  score  for  the  second 
time  at  least  half  a  doren  yards  in  front.  Throuphout 
the  whole  of  the  third  mile  Brown  maintained  tbo 
front  position,  although  Dole  kept  pushing  him. very 
elose.  About  eight  yards  separated  them  when  they 
went  over  the  course.  On  entering  the  next  quarter 
of  a  mile  Dole  got  within  two  yiirds  of  his 
leader,  and  at  the  two  and  a  quarter  miles 
they  were  tocether  again.  Brow-n  fiui:«btKi 
the  third  mile  about  six  yards  in  front  ot  Dole.  The 
fourth  mile  was  productive  of  a  verv  stubburu  con- 
test. First  Brown  would  be  leading  oy  two  or  three 
yards,  and  then  they  would  be  together  agaifr 
and  ao  the  excitement  was  kept  up  for  the  whole 
of  this  mile.  Brown  having  three  yards  the 
best  of  it.  Entering  the  fifth  mile,  the  Providence 
man  made  a  fine  effort  to  get  away  from  I>ule.  and  at 
one  time  there  was  a  gap  of  10  yards  between  them, 
but  this  wa.«t  reduced  by  Dole  witliout  any  ap- 
parent effort.  The  finish  of  the  fifth  mile 
was  1  Brown  first,  10  yards  ahead  of  Dole.  The  sixth 
mile  whA  also  very  closely  contested,  but  Brown 
was  still  m  front  at  its  completion.  "WTion 
they  had  got  fairly  into  the  last  mile  Dole 
let  himself  out  in  real  earnest,  and  went 
on  with  a  commanding  lead.  Brown  tried 
hard  to  keep  up  with  hia  opponent,  but  ho  was  now 
getting  very  shaky  on  his  legs,  and  it  was  plain  that 
he  was  beaten.  Dole  kept  nnandreached  the  winning 
post  15  yards  ahead.  Time  for  the  seven  miles,

ATTEMPT  TO  WRECK  A  TRAIN. 

A  FEARFUL  CALASUT7  AVERTED  —  A  TIE 
PLACED  ACROSS  THE  BAILS  OP  THE  CON- 
CORD RAILBOAD^IT  IS  DISCOVERED  IN 
TISIE  TO  SAVE  THE  WHITE  MOUNTAIN 
EXPRESS  FROM  BEING  WRECKED. 
Special  DUpateh  to  tMe  jr«o-  York  n»teL 

Boston,  Aug.  14. — Several  attempts  have 
been  made  by  unknown  persons  to  wreck  trains 
on  the  Concord  Hailroad,  which  runs  between 
Nashua  and  Concord,  N.  H.  The  last  attempt, 
made  to-day,  was  at  precisely  the  same  point 
at  which  an  attempt  was  made  a  fort- 
night ago  to  wreck  a  passenger  train 
by  removing  the  bolts  from  the  tracks. 
This  time  the  miscreants  placed  a  chestnut-tree, 
about  16  inchej  wide,  across  one  rail  until  it 
nearly  reached  the  other,  thus  leaving  one  end 
on  the  ground.  It  was  placed  directly  across  the 
rails  on  a  curve  in  the  roEid,  about  &alf  a  mile 
above  the  Pennchuck  Bridge.  The  engineer  of 
the  Vermont  Central  through  freight  discov- 
ered Ae  obstruction  when  his  train  was  about 
20  r.gns  away,  and  he  at  once  applied  the  steam 
brakes  to  his  engine  and  also  whistled 
down  brakes,  but  it  was  impossible  to 
stop  the  train,  which  seeme<l  to  be  in 
a  fair  way  to  become  a  total  wreck.  Fortunate- 
ly, however,  the  "pilot"  in  front  of  the  loco- 
motive struck  the  tie  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  throw  it  just  off  the  track,  thus  pre- 
venting a  general  smash  and  probable 
loss  of  life.  The  train  was  brought 
to  a  stand!»till,  and,  upon  examination,  it  was 
found  that  the  tie  was  as  dangerous  a  one  as 
could  Save  possibly  been  selected  to  do  its  in- 
tended wort  of  wrecking  the  train,  being 
nearly  16  inches  on  its  face,  and  running  to 
the  shape  of  a  wedge.  If  the  engine 
had  not  been  one  with  a  pilot  attached,  the  ob- 
struction would  surely,  have  destroyed  the 
train.  ^Vhat  appears  singular  about  it  is  that 
the  down  train  had  passed  by  on  the  other  track- 
The  engineer  and  the  traiu  hands  made  a 
thorough  search  of  the  woods  in  the  vicinity 
for  the  rascals,  but  no  one  was  found.  Later, 
however,  word  was  brought  to  this  city  that  the 
same  team  was  seen  in  that  locality  that  was 
seen  on  the  other  occasion,  and  that  it  was 
hitched  in  the  woods,  and  was  accom- 
panied by  two  men.  It  was  probablv  the 
intention  of  the  wretches  to  wreck  the  \Vhito 
Mountain  express,  due  at  that  point  at  3:4(3 
P.  M.  This  train  consisted  of  an  engine,  bag- 
gage, two  passenger,  and  two  parlor  cars,  well 
mled.  At  this  point  it  ran  at  full  speed,  and 
bad  not  the  freight  passed  a  fearful  calamity 
could  not  have  been  averted,  as  the  train  would 
undoubtedly  have  been  plunged  into  the  river 
15  or  20  feet  below.

ham  formerly  occupied,  jointly  with  one  George  B. 
Sims,  an  ofSce  at  Ko.  ^7  Nasnau-street.  Despite  the 
fact  that  Leet  a»sared  him  that  he  knew  Sima 
to  be  a  reputable  man.  Sergeant  Kealy  made  inquiries 
about  him,  and  soon  discovered  that^e  was  being 
sought  for  bv  a  Chicago  detective  named  J.  H.  Mc-

had  swindled  a  large  number  of  .people  in  the

Kealy  found  McCausland,  and  procured  from  bim  the 
warrant  for  the  arrest  of  Sima,  which  he  intrusted  to 
Detectives  Dunn  and  Dorsey.  The  accused  was  ar-

curred at  McCandless  Station  on  the  Allegheny 
VaUev  Railroad,  at  1  o'clock  this  afternoon. 
The  fimlonton  accommodation  train  southward, 
cue  hour  lat*>,  ran  into  the  rear  of  a  train  of 
cars  loaded  with  refined  oil  which  was  standing 
on  the  main  track.  The  oil  on  the  rear  car  of 
the  oil  train  took  fire  from  the  engine,  and  the 
flames,  spreading,  consumed  the  engine,  bag- 
gage, and  two  passenger  cars  of  the  accommoda- 
tion train.  Conductor  W.  B.  Waltham,  En- 
gineer \V.  Cnnningham,  and  the  tireman,  of  the

The  warning  signal  at  the  depot  was  not  dis- 
pluye<i,  and,  ha*i  the  swiu-h  not  been  opened 
slightly  just  before  accident  occurred,  the  loss  of 
life   would   have  teen  great.     The  injured  are  : 

J.  B.  Clark,  engineer,  arm  broken  ;  Stick- 

ney,  fireman,  both  legs  run  over  ;  Mrs.  E.  N.

Baltimoke,  Md.,  Aug.  14. — ^The  Cumberland 
Times  of  to-day  says:  "Everything  appears 
quiet  on  the  canal.  Boats  are  continually  ar- 
are  leaving.  Boatmen 
load  for  less  than  the 
and  the  companies  will 
not  concede  to  the  demand.  The  situation  at 
the  mines  shows  but  little  change,  though  the 
impression  gains  ground  here  that  the  price 
will  be  50  cents  per  ton,  and  that  miners 
will  go  to  work  for  that  figure.  The 
Georges  Creek  Company  will  close  up  its  7,000 
tons  this  evening,  when  work  will  cease  at  that 
mine  for  the  present.  The  Blaenavon  Company 
have  completed  a  small  order,  in  which  the 
purchaser  paid  the  additional  5  cents ;  the  mine 
closed  on  Saturday.  The  Franklin  and  Potomac 
mines  will  continue  running,  and  the 
price  will  be  governed  in  the  future  by  that 
paid  elsewhere.  These  mines  are  on  the  Balti- 
more Road.  It  is  expected  that  after  toKlay 
no  mines  will  be  worked  outside  of  those 
near  Piedmont,  and  that  the  companies  will 
propose  to  the  miners  on  Thursday  to  pay  50 
cents  per  ton,  and  if  accepted,  all  of  them  will 
resume  work. 

CuMBEKLAND,  Md..  Aug.  14.— Lsst  night  a

Frostburg,  and  nearly  demolished  the  house 
with  rocks,  &c.  Fisher  and  his  family  wore 
driven  away,  escaping  without  injury.  Fisher 
fired  into  the  crowd,  with  what  effect  is  un- 
known. Fisher  had  been  mining  at  50  cents 
while  hia  fellow- workmen  were  on  a  strike. 
State  Attorney  Boyd  is  trying  to  apprehend  the

imOUBLES  ON  TUE  ERIE  RAILROAD 
Erie,  Penn.,  Aug.  14.— A  freight  con- 
ductor on  the  Philadelphia  and  Erie  Railroad 
was  discharged  yesterday  for  refusing  to  add 
another  car  to  his  train,  which,  the  conductor 
claimed,  was  already  too  heavy.  In  conse- 
quence of  his  discharge  several  other  conductors 
declined  to  take  out  their  trains.  This  morning 
complaint  was  made  against  four  of  them  for  at- 
tempting to  incite  a  strike.  They  were  promptly 
arrested  by  the  police  and  committed  to  jail  in  de- 
fault of  $1,000  each.  An  unsuccessful  attempt 
was  made  to  bring  them  before  Judge  Galbraith 
this  afternoon  on  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus.  They 
will  have  a  hearing  to-morrow.  About  20  em- 
ployes are  on  strfice  whose  places  have  been 
filled  bv  new  men.  All  the  trains  have  run 
regularly.  The  strikers  assert  that  tlie  alleged 
cause  of  the  freight  conductor's  discharge  was 
not  the  real  oue,  but  that  he  was  <lischarged  be- 
cause of  his  prominence  in  the  late  strike.

on  those  present.  Refering  to  recent  events,  he 
said  that  the  great  railway  kings  ha<l  neglected 
the  religious  culture  of  the  masses  of  men  un- 
der their  control,  and  had  demoralized  them  by 
running  their  trains  upon  the  Sabbath,  aud  de- 
priving their  employes  of  their  day  of  rest;  and 
now  these  untaught  men,  led,  as  all  such 
are,  by  quacks,  hud  rusen  in  rebellion,  and 
l»revented  the  trains  which  they  persisUjd  in 
running  on  Sundays  from  running  at  all. 
One  could  not  reason  with  starving  or  even 
hungr}*  men.  The  industrious  emploves  of  these 
companies  did  not  originate  the  strike  or  com- 
mit the  outrages;  but,  when  wild  from  empty 
stomachs,  the  Conmmni-sts,  roughs,  thieves,  and 
rascals  led  them  intx^i  excess  aud  wanton  waste 
of  property  and  human  life.  Almost  within 
sight  of  these  grounds  there  were  railways 
whose  managers  observed  the  Sabbath,  and 
eudeavored  to  promote  the  Christian  culture  of 
their  men.  At  2  o'clock  James  Hughes,  of  To- 
ronto, introduced  Prof.  S.  L,  Greene,  of  Belle- 
ville. Ontario,  a  deaf  mute,  who  gave  an 
interesting  and  instructive  pantomimic  lec- 
ture, by  sitms  representing  uatural  objects, 
the  emotions,  personal  qtiaiities.  the  profes- 
sions, &c.,  closing  by  repeating  the  Lord's 
Prayer  by  gestures.  At  3  o'clock  a  meeting  of 
the  Ohio  workers  was  held  in  the  Pavilion,  at 
which  500  persons  were  present.  Spofiches 
were  made  by  Lewis  Miller,  of  Akron,  who  pre- 
sided ;  President  PajTie,  of  t!ie  Ohio  Universi- 
tv  ;  H.  H.  Sage,  of  Cincinnati,  and  others.  At 
1  o'clock  an  eventide  conference  was  conducted 
by  Rev.  B.  T.  Vincent,  and  the  Young  Apollo 
Qub,  of  New-York,  gave  an  attractive  concert 
( t  8  o'clock. 


THE  TEXAS  AND  PACIFIC  RAILROAD. 

Philadelphia,  Penn.,  Aug.  14.— -A  meet- 
ing of  the -IHrectors  and  stockholders  of  the 
Texas  and  Pacific  Railroad  was  held  here  to-day. 
The  annual  report,  which  was  read, 
states  that  480  8-100  miles  of  track  have 
been  completed,   of  which  110  were  finished 

during  the  year  just  closed.  The  receipts  for 
the  year  were  $3,381,976  47,  and  profits, 
$318,985  02.  The  passenger  revenue  has 
Increased  25  8-10  per  cent.,  and  101,- 
501  more  tons  of  freight  were  hauled 
than  the  previous  year.  Un<^r  the  adjustment, 
out  of  $9,130,550  41  of  the  indebtedness  of 
the  California  and  Texas  Railway  Construction 
Company,  $8,474,911  36  had  been  satisfied  by 
July  2,  1877.  On  June  1  tho  liabilities  of  the 
road  were  only  $18,550,578  01,  with  444 
miles  in  operation,  50  locomotives,  and 
1,050  cars  of  all  kinds,  being  a  reduction  of 
$3,868,275  56— a  gain  of  120  miles,  635 
cars,  and  32  engines.  The  balance  of  fioatlng 
indebtedness  was  only  $703,264  72,  against 
$93.'5,257  67  in  June,  1875;  and  the  company 
has  on  hand  to  pay  this  debt  $394,000  of  its 
first  and  consolidated  mostgage  bonds. 


RAFTING  FROM  THIS  CITY  TO  BOSTON. 
Boston,  Mass.,  Aug.  14. — The  experi- 
ment of  towing  a  raft  of  spars  from  New- York 
was  successfully  concluded  to-day  by  the  ar- 
rival at  T~  wharf  of  the  steam-tug  Knicker- 
bocker, having  in  tow  a  raft  of  180  spars,  val- 
ued at  $20,000.  Some  of  the  spars  were  100 
feet  long  and  40  inches  in  diameter.  The  raft, 
including  the  boat  and  line',  was  nearly  a  quarter 
of  a  mUe  in  length.  By  this  mode  of  trans- 
portation more  than  $8,000  in  freight  was 
saved.  The  timber  was  cut  at  London,  On-

MOST  OF  THEM  MEET  IK  CONVENTION 

ABOTTT  PORTT-ITVE  DELEGATES,  XAKT  OP 
'WHOM  WEBE  BELP-APPOIKTED — A  RE- 
SPECTABLE BODY  OP  tmKNOWN  MEN — 
A  PLATFORM  LONQEB  THAN  IT  IS  PRAO- 
TICAlA-AX    APPEAL     TO     THE  INDUSTRY 

OP  THE  STATE. 

From  Our  Oun  OorretponidenL 
Thbhton.  N.  J.,  Tuesday,  Aug.  14,  1877. 

The  Greenback  Party  in  New-Jersey  has  been 
here  to-day,  has  fretted  and  fumed  away  several  val- 
uable hours,  and  the  result  of  their  monUiings  and 
deliberations  is  a  dozen  long  and  illc^r^  resolutions 
and  an  impracticable  candidate,  nominated  by  an  irreg- 
ular gathering  of  men,  very  few  of  whom  are  known, 
and  that  few  known  not  to  be  admired  or  accepted 
as  political  advisers.  As  a  figure-head,  Mr.  Thomas 
D.  Horsey,  the  Greenback  candidate  for  Governor,  is, 
perhaps,  better  than  his  party,  bnt  he  is  only  an 
awkward  instrument  in  tbe  hands  of  a  squirming  and 
discontented  following,  each  of  whom  has  his  pot 
theory  of  finance,  andnotwo  of  whom  can  he  expected 
to  pull  harmonioosly  together  during  the  campaign. 
The  convention  seems  to  have  been  a  profound  secret  to 
everybody  in  New-Jersey  except  Mr-  J.  A.  Beecher, 
the  publisher  of  a  Greenback  weekly  in  Newark,  which 
has  carried  the  name  of  David  Davis  at  the  head  of 
its  editorial  column  for  President  for  a  year.  So 
when  the  few  straggling  delegates  began  to  oome 
into  Trenton  this  morning,  marshaled  by 
Beecher,  old  Trenton  residents,  who  like 
to  see  a  crowd  when  there  is  to  be  a  convention, 
laughed  a  quiet  laugh  In  their  sleeves,  and  let  Mr. 
Beecher  and  Ms  party  have  their  talk  out  in  a  qniet 
and  solitary  way,  undismayed  by  spectators  or  mis- 
chievous intruders-  Eleven  o'clock  was  the  hour 
appointed  for  the  mustering  of  the  Green- 
back forces,  but  at  that  hour  scarcely 
more  tlian  a  baker's  dozen  of  delegates 
awaited  the  call  to  order.  The  convention  was  held 
in  a  little  room  in  the  Board  of  Trade  Jiuildlng  that 
could  not  have  held  150  pers^ms  comfortably.  The 
time  had  come  for  proceeding,  and  a  counting  of  heads 
showed  that  the  entire  company,  delegates,  reporters, 
and  lookers-on.  who  didn't  care  whether  "  school 
kept  or  not,"  numbered  20  persons.  Those  of  tho 
delega^s  present,  as  also  most  of  those  who  camo 
afterward  during  thff  day,  were  self -constituted,  and 
they  had  come  on  the  strength  of  a  general  invita- 
tion through  tho  Newark  Greenback  organ. 

Isaac  Henllngs,  of  Tronton,  waa  made  temporary 
Chairman,  and  Edward  Rowland,  of  Hammonton, 
temporary  .Secretary.  As  no  delegates  had  been  ap- 
pointed it  was  not  convenient  to  call  the  roll,  and 
the  following  committees  wore  appointed  :  On  Cre- 
dentials— J.  D.  Holton,  Cumberland  ;  C-  T.  Unangat, 
Essex:  A.  Budd,  Burlington;  H-  H.  Van 
Duser,  Warren ;  Isaac  HenllnES.  Mercer.  On  K«- 
solutions — Edward  Howland,  Atl&ntic  ;  J.  A.  BeecJior, 
Essex ;  S-  D.  Dillaye,  Mercer ;  John  G.  Drew,  Union ; 
William  Baxter,  Essex ;  B.  P.  MaAllister,  Gloucester; 
Thomas  D.  Hoisey,  Pasjtslc.  On  Permanent  Organ- 
ization—P.  P.  Field,  Atlantic  I  P.  C.  Bliss.  Essex  i 
Henry  Johnston.  Middlesex ;  I^ois  Bristol, 
Cumherlond;  J.  Ryerson,  Essex.  This  list  more 
than  exhausted  the  list  of  delegates  present,  but 
it  about  represented  the  number  of  counties  that 
were  sufHciently  attached  to  the  greenhack  move- 
ment to  appear  at  Trenton  on  this  solemn  occasion. 
Geu.  Hoxsey  annoancedthathe  came  aself-constitutea 
delegate,  and  that  his  feelings  prompted  him  to 
say  that  although  the  convention  was  small 
in  numbers  Its  action  wonld  be  felt  in  a  way  that 
could  best  he  described  perhaps  by  the  word  im- 
mense. Tln'se  werw  not  Gen.  Hoxsey's  wordR,  for 
they  wero  many,  but  ihls  was  what  ao  would  hnvo 
said  if  hf  )iad  spoken  so  briefly.  An  adjournment 
was  taken  until  1  o'cIr>ck,  and  it  Is  to 
bo  presumed  that  evorj'body  immediately  went 
off  to  write  a  platform,  judging  from  the  abundant 
supply  of  re.'iolutions  ttiat  was  afterward  obtained. 
It  was  2  o'clock  before  tliey  reassembled,  and  when 
they  did  the  liall  contained  about  60  per- 
sons, -IT)  of  whom  at  most  were  dele- 
gates. Beecher,  the  most  active  greenback 
advocate  of  the  body  was  supreme.  Without  pre- 
tending to  admire  his  party.  Trenton  j)eople  would 
wlsli  that  bo  might  couie  by  something  which  woiUd 
give  him  fn^eubacks,  as  he  never  coiild  find  a  safii- 
dent  quantity  while  in  business  here  to  enable  htm 
to  keep  his  creditors  in  good  humor-  There  was 
Henllogs,  a  portly  man  and  an  incurable  sore- 
head, full  of  imo  vaporingR ;  (h'lx.  Hoxsey, 
who  always  bepna  well  and  shortly  lo«es  hia 
temper,  launching  out  into  invectives  that  would  be 
tumble  if  it  were  not  overdone  until  it  becomes 
fanny-  C.  E.  Tullor,  a  pork  packur  of  Trenton,  who 
might  have  escaped  failure  if  there  bad  been  more 
greonbacks  in  cirt-ulatlon,  loomed  up  full  of  hopeful- 
ness and  native  el(>quence- 

When  Mr.  Henllngs  called  the  convention  to  order 
and  calletl  for  the  reports  of  the  committees,  none  of 
them  were  ready.  So.  to  while,  away  ihe  time,  ex- 
Chancellor  O.  S.  Halstead,  of  Newark,  made  an  ad- 
dress to  tho  audience  of  throe  score  delegates  and 
repo^u^rs.  Hi**  speech  was  extraordinary  for  its  lack 
ofsense.  He  declared  that  thin  country  is  now, 
and  hnA  been  for  eight  years,  under  a  CJov- 
emment  that  nnbodv  waut«>d.  and  thay^hey  would 
never  consent  to.  He  charged  the  Kt>)mbUcan  Party 
with  having  bronght  ruin  on  the  i>^utrj',  and  tho 
Democrats  with  neglectine  to  ^;dop  the  ruination. 
This  was  all  gnxitying  hitelligence  to  the  little 
>»thering  of  Greenbackers,  whom  he  still  further 
deUghteu  by  assuring  them  that  the  men  they  nomi- 
nated would  be  elected,  and  finally  stirrwl 
them  up  to  an  enthusiafttic  pitch  by  demanding  that 
the  Admini.ttration  "take  back  that  infernal  nunseiutv 
of  John  Sherman."  The  tumultuous  applause  that 
followed  this  sentiment  was  palpably  strength- 
ened in  effect  by  the  opportune  arrival  of 
two  small  boys,  who  appeared  to  thoroughly 
relish  the  speaker's  snggcstion,  and  waited  about  for 
raoTn  of  the  same  sort.  The  Committee  on  Creden- 
tials had  now  finished  their  arduous  task,  aud  re- 
ported di'leifates  present  from  a  duzen  counties.  The 
permanent  organization  was  formed  by  the  election 
of  F.  ('.  Bli-Sfi.  ot  Etisex.  tm  President ;  Dr.  Haines, 
of  Burlinirtou ;  B.  F.  MeAJlister.  Gloucester ; 
G.  W.  Crussy.  Atlantic  :  S.  D.  Dillaye, 
Slercer,  and  Thomas  P.  Proctor,  of  Cumberland,  as 
Vice-Presidents,  and  Edward  Howland,  of  Atlantic ; 
Henry  Johnston,  of  Middlesex,  and  C  E.  Tuller,  of 
Mercer,  as  Secretaries.  These  oflBcera  did  not  find 
tliemselves  overburdened  with  their  duties,  bat  wore 
the  honors  of  empty  oifice  with  evident 
pride.  Mr.  Bliss  made  a  long  speech,  which 
was  f  ul  1  of  talk  about  tho  press  being 
"purchased  by  the  tools  of  boudholders,"  and  he 
mxide  some  aUnsiou  to  "Tital  and  ftmdamcntal 
principles  "  without  very  distinctly  showing  what  he 
was  driving  at,  and  concluded  that  because  "  car- 
casses-strewed  the  way  of  Gallileo"  the  Greenback 
Party  was  about  to  begin  a  great  moral  reform.  His 
declaration  that  "gold  is  one  of  the  greatest  carsoa 
of  modem  times  "  rather  stunned  his  audience,  and 
they  were  ao  ror  bebind  Mr.  Blisd  on  that  point  that 
they  rewarded  liis  eloquence  with  very  feeble  np 
plause. 

Mr-  Beecher  now  read  the  resolutions  of  the  com- 
mittee, aud  did  it  In  a  tremendously  portentous  fash- 
ion. Everybody  who  had  a  resolution  which  he 
wanted  incorporated  handed  It  In,  and  the  whole 
batch  was  adopted.  Mr.  Beecher  then  took  charge  of 
them,  and  after  the  convention  he  cut  and  pruned 
and  rearranged  them  so  that  much  of  the  rubbish 
that  had  so  delighted  the  convention,  and  which  it 
supposed  was  to  be  a  part  of  the  platform,  was 
thrown  away.  As  edited  by  Mr.  Beecher,  the  plat- 
form Is  as  follows : 

1-  Resolved,  We  demand  the  Immediate  repeal  of  the  Be- 
suniption  act,  which  buK  grenti}'  ugjcnivftbtMl  the  evils 
cauKetl  by  contracting  the  curr»ucy  ^12.500,000  Bixico

bouded  debt  of  the  nation  ;  aud  we  condemn  the  refimd- 
iug  of  5-2U  bonds  in  yold,  which  by  law  ore  payable  in 
currency. 

2.  J?M0ie«l  That  that  part  of  the  law  of  Feb.  25, 1862, 
authurizing  the  liwulng  of  the  national  currency  known 
as  Kreenbacks,  which  limited  their  power  as  a  legal 
tender  oo  lu  to  except  duties  ou  imports  and  lnt«n*st 
on  the  public  debt,  was  disgracefiil  to  the  Congress 
which  authorized  It,  and  stamped  on  every  bill  pardal 
repodtatlun- 

3.  }taolved.  That  the  act  of  May  9.  1872,  reported  to 
the  House  of  Reprenentatives  Feb.  9,  18?2,  m>m  the 
Committee  on  Coiimge.  "Weights,  and  Measures,  by 
which  silver  was  curruptly  aud  against  tne  wishes  and 
welfare  of  the  people  demonetlced  as  a  legal  tender,  was 
an  outrage  upon  the  rights  and  interests  uf  tho  nation. 
yi«i  demand  its  unconditional  repeal- 

4.  Reso)ved,  We  demand  that  the  issue  of  all  money  ' 
whetiter  paper,  silver,  or  gold,  and  regulating  the 
value  thereof,  bo  Issued  by  the  Government  In  porauanoe 
vf  Its  prerogative  of  sovereignty,  and  that  It  shall  not 
delegate  this  power,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  national 
bank&  and  oorporatlona :  that  bank  notes  snal]  be  retired 
from  circulation,  and  the  General  Government  liave  no 
counoctloD  with  banka  or  baoklng,  and  that  nn  pap«r 
muuey  nliall  be  alluwt^  in  circulaCaon  except  that  issued 
b)'  the  United  States,  and  sustained  by  Itti  sovereignty  aud 
the  outlre  wealth  and  credit  of  the  nation. 

5.  RfSolveA,  Tbat  the  letter  of  the  President  accepting 
the  nomination,  which  Incomuderately  committed  him  to 
an  ImmudlaCe  resmuption  of  specie  paj'ments,  was  not 
tho  deliberate  act  of  a  stat^isman,  but  a  yieldinK  to  the 
clamor  of  the  nioni^  power  that  Bhf>uld  not  bind  him  to 
the  pledge  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that  at  the  time  there 
was  lesti  tliau  ^^0,IK>U,000  in  gold  ati  the  basis  for  tho  re- 
demption of  *383,Ot>0,(MK>  leifal-tonder  notes,  ^5t3,-

gold  gamblers  making  a  comer  in  gold,  or  the  accident  of 
panic,  would  have  resulted  lu  national  bankruptcy. 

6.  Jtesotved.  That  the  act  of  March  18,  1869,  entitled 
"  An  act  to  strengthen  the  pubUc  credit  of  the  United 
States"  by  which  tho  bonds  of  the  Govemmeut  payable  In 
lawful  money  were  declared  to  be  payable  in  gold,  waa  u 
fraud  on  the  nation,  imposed  upon  Congress 
by  a  combination  of  bondholders  for  selfish  pur- 
poses. We  demand  Its  Immediate  repeal  and 
the  enforcement  of  the  act  of  Peb.  26,  1862,  anthoristng 
the  issue  of  the  5-  20  bonds  and  greenbacks  In  the  follow* 
iug  term.* :  "  And  such  TTnited  States  notes  shall  be  re-

the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury." 

7.  MssoUmo,  We  demand  that  the  cauae  of  the  late  dis- 
torbances  shall  he  removed,  by  the  inaugnratlon  of  a  fi- 
nancial policy  which  will  give  money  to  prodneUve  in- 
dustry, and  full  employment,  at  good  wages,  to  labor,  in- 
stead of  an  increase  of  the  Army ;  and  we  condemn  the 
present  and  paat  flnandal  policy,  which  In  10  years  haa 
bfooght  the  mast  proq>er(raa  nation  of  the  world  to  a

6.  Keaohttd,  That  in  order  to  oonmme  their  prodttet*" 
labor  must  be  pajd  good  wages,  and  that  the  contlmwA 
reduction  of  wage*  eonaeqnant  upon  oontractlon  has  so 
reduced  the  power  ot  labor  to  consume  that  workshops 
are  eloeed  and  miSloiw  on  idle. 

9.  JZesotoed,  niaSeqiialityaiidnidformltyfai  taxation  la

rasisted;  that  the  exeinpaon  of  any  bond  or  obligation 
from  taxation  by  the  town,  county,  dty.  State,  or  No- 
tional Legislature  which  Issues  it.  Is  a  violation  of  that 
equality  of  rights  Government  is  bound  to  secure ;  it  is 
an  Infringement  upon  the  laws  of  proi»erty  which  no  exi- 
gency can  secure  and  no  Law  can  Jorafy. 

^0.  Itesotred,  That  manhood  soffrage  shall  forever  l>o

tempt of  RepubUcan  and  Democratie  politicians  in  New- 
York  State  to  enact  a  bill,  already  possied  in  several 
States,  depriving  of  their  votes  the  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands whom  contraction  and  attempted  resumption  has 
reduced  to  abject  poverty,  and  we  warn  the  impover- 
ished working  men  of  New-Jersey  that  it  ia  a  part  of  the 
conspiracy  of  the  money  power  to  first  pauperize,  and 
then  dlfifrnncbise  labor. 

11.  Baolved,  Deeming  the  Independent  Greenback 
Party  OS  the  tme  reform  party,  and  believing  that  all

tion of  wrong,  and  the  bettering  of  the  condition  of  tho 
people,  and  we  relief  from  bnidens  existing,  in  order  to 
combine  movementa  in  favor  Of  needed  reforms,  we 
cordially  Invite  the  tax  and  lobor  refomierH  to  unite  with 
ua,  as  we  pledge  ourselves  to  secure  the  election  of  our 
candidatea,  and  in  their  conventions  to  ratify  the  some, 
and  In  the  Senatorial  and  Ansembly  districts  to  coalesce 
in  nominating  men  who  will  stand  by  our  united  meas- 
ures of  reform  in  currency,  tax  reform,  and  labor  reform. 

The  motion  to  nominate  having  been  made  and 
seconded,  Mr.  Thomas  D.  Hoxsey  was  named  for 
Governor  by  Mr.  J-  A-  Beecher,  and  after  one  or  two 
inconsequential  speeches,  he  was  chosen  to  be 
the  Ktandard-bewrer  of  the  Greenback  Party 
of  New-Jersey.  Mr.  Hossey,  In  acceptiiw? 
the  honor  which  he  so  full^^expected. 
acknowledged  in  a  melancholy  way  thairhe  had  all 
his  life  long  been  a  leader  In  forlorn  hopes,  and  then 
he  wcmdered  sadly  back  through  his  experiences. 
He  x>athetically  observed  that  there  were  prob 
ably  few  men  in  the  State  who  would 
choose  to  stand  where  he  stood  to  be  a  target  for  the 
"  sneers  andgibes  of  a  subiddized  press."  He  became 
wrathftil  as  he  spoke  of  the  subsidized  press,  and  then 
went  on  to  violently  denounce  the  money  power,  the 
bondholders,  and  everything  outside  the  quirkv 
greenback  circle,  and  sat  down  in  a  profuse  perspira- 
non  amid  desperate  applause  from  tne  40  delegates- 

That  was  about  all  tnere  was  of  the  convention.  A 
committee  conBlsting  of  Messrs.  Howland,  Dillaye, 
and  Beecher— always  Beecher — afterward  prepared 
the  following,  which  la  to  be  issued  as  an  address  to 
the  people  of  the  State  :  ~~ 

The  Independent  Greenback  Party  of  New-Jersey  ap- 
peals to  the  Industry  of  the  State  to  Join  in  protesting 
against  the  almurd  policy  of  contraction  pursued  by  the 
JSational  Administration,  under  the  deceptive  plea  of  a 
return  to  specie  pa}Tnents.  Already  the  coat  of  tliifi 
legislation  in  favor  of  money  and  against  manhood,  has 
been  to  the  industry  of  the  country  three  times 
more  than  the  whole  national  debt,  while  it  has  checked 
the  Industrial  oKsociatiou  of  the  people,  stopped  their 
procresR  toward  industrial  indenendenoe,  filled  the  land 
with  dishpartened  and  Impovenshed  trumps,  and  so  de- 
moralized tbose  placed  by  the  people's  miffrage  in  tem- 
porary control  of  the  people's  well-being  that  they 
dare  appeal  to  the  bayonet  to  fdlence  the  popular 
discontent.  An  indtjstrious  people  need  no  militor)- 
to  fort-e  thorn  to  their  pursuit*,  while  a  bank- 
rupt people  means  a  bankrupt  Govemnieut.  By  a  per- 
sistent oonrRe  of  legislation  the  Republican  Party  in 
power,  aided  by  the  Democratic  Party,  hoe  made  banking 
and  bond  holding  so  pre-eminently  the  most  profitable 
business  of  the  country  tliat  tho  producers,  on 
whom  the  whole  charge  of  interest  comes,  are 
disheartened  and  desoerate  at  finding  tho 
results  of  their  labors  taken  from  them,  and  penury  the 
only  legacy  they  can  hope  to  leave  their  children.  This 
wasteful  dlarfirard  of  the  people's  rights  thus  inaugurated 
by  the  Contra!  Government  bos  been  initiated  by  the  sub- 
ordinate State  aud  local  odminl  strati  on  s,  so  that  a  career  of 
peculation,  extravagance,  and  fraud  has  been  car- 
ried on  until  the  peoplb.  crushed  under  taxation 
and  deprived  of  income,  are  in  danger  of  becoming  reek- 
lew  and  violent  Hunger  knows  no  law  and  order.  To 
put  an  end  to  tho  wholesale  robi>ery  of  the  people,  the  In- 
dependent Greenback  Party  Invites  all  well-meanijig  pi-r- 
souA  to  carefully  consider  these  resolutiona,  which  were 
adopted  in  oonventlon. 

A  SNAKl^  CEREUti  IN  BLOOM. 
A  unique  sight  for  tliis  latitude  was  pre- 
sented In  the  drug  store  of  Dr.  E.  Kunze,  Xo.  606 
Third-avenue,  last  evening.  At  7:30  o'clock  four 
hnda  of  a  specimen  of  the  cereus  serpentinus, 
or  snake  cereus,  began  to  open  simultaneously. 
At  8  o'clock  they  were  in  full  bloom.  At 
sunrise  thi.^  morning  they  will  close  forever.  The 
snake  cerens  has  the  pecnliarity  of  thriving  in  the 
moat  arid  atmosphere  possible.  In  its  native  soil  in 
torrid  America  it  aflfects  high  elevations,  on 
the  Andes  Mountains  principally,  where  mois- 
ture seldom  comes.  This  peculiarity  distin- 
guishes it  from  the  other  cactuses  of  the  cereus 
family  which  have  been  introduced  into  this  country, 
these  requiring  a  hnmld  atmosphere,  and  con.se- 
(juently  renders  it  extremely  dimcult  to  propagate 
to  iterfoction.  it  requiring  a  special  shelter  and  spe- 
cial care.  The  specimen  on  exhibition  last  eveninii 
cousiste<l  of  three  slender  pale  green,  serrated  shoots, 
the  tallest  being  seven  feet  high.  The  irreatest  height 
attained  by  the  uncultivated  plant  in  its  native  state 
is  1 5  feet.  The  edges  of  the  grooves  from  top  to  bot- 
tom were  dotted  with  white  specktt,  out  or  which 
grew  numerous  hair-like  points.  Tlie  pliint 
j^iosseases  the  peculiarity  In  common  with 
other  cactuses  of  being  knobbed  iit  inter- 
vals, but  otherwise  stands  perfectly  straight.  Tbe 
n-o-son  of  its  name.  a.s  given  by  I)r.  Kunze.  is  that 
sometimes,  when  very  tall  and  without  support,  tho 
top  of  the  plant  bend.s  over,  giving  it  a  serpentine  ap- 
pearance, i-iae  flower  stood  on^he  extreme  top,  two 
others  were  together  about  a  foot  and  a  half  below. 
and  the  fourth  about  a  foot  below  these.  The 
flowers  were  smaller  than  those  of  other  varieiies 
of  cereus  with  which  Xew-Vorkers  are  familiar. 
They  were  about  7  inches  from  root  of  stem  to  base, 
and  about  A\  iuchea  across  at  the  top.  They  were 
vase  shaped,  the  Ropals  and  pet^bi  being  pure  white, 
the  stamens  yellow,  and  the  pistil  white  and  star- 
shaped  when  opened,  which  whs  not  until,  about 
midniglit.  The  interior  was  hollow.  They  gave 
forth  a  strong  odor  which  bore  a  resemblaiice  to  ii 
mixture  of  the  perfume  of  the  rose  and  the  jonquil,  the 
latter  largelv  prevailing.  The  specimen  was  raised 
by  CoL  Henry  G.  Stebbins,  after  much  diffivulty. 
It  Is  15  years  old.  The  average  age  fur 
flowering  of  the  plant  ia  from  seven  to  15  years. 
This  one  flowered  for  the  first  time  laj*t  year.'  Col. 
Ktebblns  lent  it  to  Dr.  Kunze  for  experiment  and  ex- 
amination. The  doctor  has  a  large  numl>er  of  cereus 
plants  of  other  sorts  xuider  cultivati<m.  He  has  made 
them  a  study  and  has  mode  long  reports  annually 
of  Ids  observations  in  regard  to  them  at  the 
annual  meetings  of  the  Eclectic  M  edical 
Society  of  the  Stat©  of  New-York-  A  decocti-m 
is  made  from  the  plants  of  the  cereus 
family,  which  Is  said  to  be  very  effective  in 
all  ofifoctions  of  the  heart.  ITiere  la  another 
bud  on  CoL  Stebbins'  plant  which  will  open  this 
evening,  and  two  others  that  have  only  recently  be- 
gun to  develop.  The  average  era  of  development  of 
the  buds  is  five  weeks.  Large  numbers  of  persons 
visited  the  store  lost  evening,  and  the  doctor  was 
kept  busy  explaining  the  peculiarities  of  the  plant.

Wttertiis,  It  has  pleased  ^»i^ine  Providence  to  remove 
from  our  midst  Mr.  Benja-iun  Blossom,  for  upward  of 
half  a  cenlurj-  one  of  our  most  respected  merchants  ftnd 
trustworthy  citizens;  and 

Whereas.  We  recognize  in  his  honorable  life  a  true 
^ ^ J    ..^^^.  type  of  the  Christian  merchant  and  gentleman;    there- 

quite  a  number  of  people  fell  Into  small  boats,  cap-  ~  ~'*'^  ^  '^j   m.    ^  ^^  ^  ^    ,      «-      ,  «

hiuh  appreciation  of  his  character  in  ever)'  relation  of 
Ufe.  ana  while  deploring  his  loss  nope  that  his  example 
will  be  long  held  as  a  precious  helrioom  for  us  to  emu- 
late and  follow. 

Resolved,  That  we  extend  our  sympathleato  his  fomilf 
In  their  sad  bereavemeut ;  and  also 

Ii(suWf<i,  That  we  attend  his  funeral  in  a  body  to  pay

At  a  meeting  of  the  Faculty  of  the  Beilevne  Hospital

nnanimously 

RemUied,  That  this  Faculty  humbly  bow  In  enhmlssJon, 
but  with  saddened  hearts,  to  the  Almighty,  who  In  His 
inscrutable  providence  has  suddenly  atricien  down  tn 
the  meridian  of  his  career  one  of  Its  most  gifted  and  be- 
loved members,  Alpueus  B.   (.^cosbt. 

Jtesolvfd,  That  In  this  viwtation  it  has  lost  one  of  it* 
most  cultured,  lucid,  impjiepsive,  and  brilliant  lecturers  ; 
one  who  in  imparting  his  valuable  lessons  made  study  a 
pleasure  by  combining  with  his  wealth  of  learning  an 
aptitude  of  illustration,  mingled  with  wit  and  humor, 
that  crowded  his  class-roi^m.  with  enthusiastic  and  ad- 
miring scholars. 

Rest^ved.  That  the  members  of  the  Faculty  monm  the 
loss  of  oue  of  their  most  accomplished  and  genial  col- 
leagues, one  whose  presence  at  their  official  and  oodol 
reunions  was  always  hoUed  with  delight. 

Resolved.  That  In  his  death  we  feel  that  Bellevne  Hos- 
pital ha&  t>een  bereaved  of  one  of  it«  moat  skilled  and 
faithful  stirgeons,  the  medical  profesolou  of  one  of  ica 
most  eminent  practitioners,  the  country  of  one  of  its 
noblest  citizens,  who  both  In  war  and  in  peaee  comiib- 
uted  his  talents  and  energies  with  patriotic  seal  in  lt«  be- 
half. 

Jitsolved,  That  we  offer  our  sincere  sympotliy-  to  his 
wife  and  family  in  this  trying  ordeal;  that  while  we  are 
powerless  to  assuage  their  grief  we  commend  them  to 
the  Kwoet  memories  of  hit  n.<ieful  life  and  to  tb«  tender 
mendes  of  H*"t  in  whom  he  trosted  who  "baa  nme  be-

from  55 14  to  54  for  the  preferred,  but  the  lat-

investment  shares  were  steady  on  a  limited 
business.  Panama- advanced  to  109  bid.  Ex- 
press shares  weire  quiet  and  firm. 

The  Money  market  was  easy  and  without  es- 
sential change  in  rates.  The  Government  bond 
dealers  were  supplied  at  li3'*2  •?  cent.,  while 
the  ruling  rates  on  stock  collaterals  were  2a2l2 
1?  cent.  In  discounts, » sales  of  prime  names 
were  at  41^  to  0  **  cent. :.  The  national  bank 
notes  received  at  Washington  for  redemption 
amounted  to  $460,000,  Customs  receipts 
$480,000,  and  revenue  receipU  $225,000. 
The  following  were  the  rates  of  exchange  on 
New- York  at  the  undermentioned  cities  to-day  : 
Savannah,  buying,  ig,  selling,  .I4  ;  Charleston, 
scarce,  nothing  doing,  ig  ^  %  premium ;  St. 
Louis,  50  premium  ;  Cincinnati,  easier,  buying 
50  discount,  selling,  50  premium ;  New-Orleans, 
commercial,  is,  bank,  I4  ;  and  Chicago,  50  dis- 
count. 

,  The  foreign  advices  reported  the  ■  London 
market  for  securities  somewhat  weaker,-  owing 
to  a  hardening  in  the  rates  for  money  and  the 
expectation  that  the  Directors  of  the  Bank  of 
England  will,  at  their  regular  weekly  meeting  on 
Thursday  next,  advance  the  minimum  rate  of 
discount  to  2  tj  F  cent.  Throe  mouths'  bills  are 
now  discounted  in  the  open  market  at  13^^178 
V  cent.,  or  only  i8&  li  below  the  present 
bankjtate.  The  bank  lost  £9,000  bullion  on 
balance  to-day.  ^  Consols  declined  1^  ^  cent, 
to  9478  0/93,  but  closed  .  at  95  for 
both  money  and  the  account. ;  United  States 
bonds  ■were  13  V  cent,  lower  for  ■  new  4l«  ^ 
cents  and  10-403,  the  former  selling  at  lOCl^ai 
106%  and  the  latter  at  11038311013.  Fives 
of  1881  rose  to  IO7I2.  declined  to  IO7I4,  and

1  9  cent,  to  61.  Erie  fell  off  a  fraction,  sell- 
ing at  9  ig.  New-York^Centralwas  steady  at 
92%.  At  Paris  Eentes'^ere  quoted  at  106f.

-  The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  heavy  in. 
tone,  and  the  leading  drawers  reduced  their 
rates  at  an  early  hour  to  $4  841.2  for  60  day 
bills,  and  to  $4  60  for  sight,  with  actual  busi- 
ness at  $4  833.$4  83io.  and  $4  853>$4  851^. 
Demand  sterling  was  relatively  firmer  in  conse- 
quence of  the  advance  in  the  rates  for  money  at 
London.  The  bankers  and  importers,  hcrwever, 
are  not  remitting  largely  at  present,  and  as  the 
cotton  season  is  rapidly  approaching,  the  indica- 
tions point  to  still  lower  rates  in  the  future. , 
The  quotations  now  current  are  near  the  specie 
importing  poiut 

'  The  Gold  speculation  was  tame  and  devoid 
of  feature.  All  the  sales  were  at  IO5I4,  which 
has  been  the  quotation  for  several  days  past. 
On  Gold  loans  the  rates  were  1  to  3  ^  cent,  for

TtTESDAY,  Aug.  14— P.  M. 

The  Tolumo  of  business  on  the  Stock  Ei- 
cl-.:i.u3:e  was  small  and  thtj  market  irregular, 
»]:-c.ma*:ng  fr.^.iusntly  between  firmness  and 
d  prossion.  Late  in  tho  afternoon  a  weak  and 
ir. settled  ffieling  prevailed,  and  at  the  close 
qii-.ttations  showed  a  decline  ranging  from  I4  to 
1  f  cent,  as  compared  with  those  current  in 
the  final  di..aiings  yesterday.  It  is  generally  be- 
lieved that  the  future  course  of  the  market  will 
d.-pend  a  good  deal  upon  the  result  of  the  de- 
lili..'ratlons  of  the  joint  committee  representing 
the  Western  Union  and  Atlantic  and  Pacific 
Telegraph  (^mpanics.  The  conunittee  held  a 
protracted  ses-sion  to-day,  and  fully  discussed 
tho  several  propositions  submitted  for  an 
equitable  adjustment  of  the  qaestiona  at 
Isiue  between  the  two  corporations.  The  meet- 
ing, we  -understand,  was  very  harmonious,  and 
tLo  prospects  ore  considered  favorable  for  an 
arrangement,  notwithstanding  the  statements 
put  afloat  to-day  by  the  bear  clique  that  the 
apaculative  interests  of  at  least  one  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  committee  are  likely  to  induce  him 
to  interpose  every  obstacle  in  the-way  of  an  ad- 
justment. The  committeB  holds  another  sea- 
Bion  thia  evening. 

The  annual  report  of  the  CMcaeo  and  North- 
western Railroad  Company  issued  to-day  aeta 
forth  that  "  tho  net  restilts  of  the  operatiens  of 
the  company,  inclndinir  the  proprietary  roada, 
Bhow  profits  of  $1,078,226  for  the  fiscal  year, 
from  which  a  dividend  of  2I3  V  cent.,  amotrnt- 
In;  to  $536,810,  -waa  paid  to  the  preferred 
shareholders  last  December.  The,  balance  of 
profits,  amounting  to  $541<416,  la  a  Uttls  In 
excess  of  the  December  dividend,  but.  In  -view

For  the  past  dx  or  eight  months  tronble'*heut 
been   breirizig  between  the   xuen.  engaged  in  the 
znanufftctare   of  blue-stone-Uoek  pftving-stones   in 
HndBon  Gonnty,  K.  J.,  and  along  the  Palisades  from 
Hndson     City-     to     7ort     Zjee,     and     the     con- 
tractors   who    have    been    in    the    habit   of  ptxr- 
^C^  ehasijig  these  blocks  on  aeeomit- of  their  dieapness. 

The  relations  existing  between  the  contractors  and 
the  qo&rrymen  are  pecoGar.  The  quarries  Worked 
hy^  the  men  engaged  in  the  present  eombhiation  are 
owned  by  the  We^iawken  Ferry  Company,  and  not 
by  the  men  working  them,  or  by  the  contractors. 
The  qnarrymen  are  their  own  masters,  and  wod  en- 
tirely on  specolation,  qnorrying  ont  the  stone,  mak- 
ing the  blocks,  and  then  selling  ttieon  to  the  contrac- 
tors at  the  best  price  obtainable.  Hence,  they  claim 
that  they  are  not  on  a  steike,  but  simply  holding  the 
froita  of  their  labor  nntll  such  a  price  is  offered  for 
It  as  wiU  pay  for  Its  prodnetion.  They  daim  that, 
Bt  the  prices  now  offered  them  by  the  contractors,  it 
Is  impossible  for  them  to  make  mora  than  50  cents  - 
per  day,  eren  nnJer  the  most  faTorabledrcnmstances. 
For  instance,  they  are  asked  to  famish  blacks  under 
epecifications  which  call  for  stones  10  to  12  Inches 
~1ong,  and  three  and  a  half  to  four  and  a  half  inches 
"Wide  on  the  head,  and  oneinch  smaller  each  way  at 
the  foot,  for  $15  per  1.000.  and  they  sav  tliat,  tak- 
ing into  consideration  all  the  quarries,  tney  cannot 
TTTodnce  more  than  an  average  of  aboat  25  of  these 
oloclts  jwr  day — in  addition  to  which,  the  expense  of 
ebarpening  tools,  and  the  cost  of  powder,  will  amount 
tn  about  $3  50  per  1,C>00.  The  price 
ofifered  for  another  grade  of  blocks  is  at 
present  $12  per  thousanoTuid  the  qnarrymen  claim 
that  with  the  price  of  the  first  grade  fixed  at  $S0, 
and  the  secona  grade  at  $24,  they  could  not  make 
jnore  than  $1  to  $1  50  per  day.  They  say  that  of 
about  400  quarrymen  who  were  working  luong  the 
Hudson  liist  Winter,  not  more  than  50  remain,  all 
the  others  having  been  driven  away  by  the 
low  prices.  They  think  tliat  the  business 
men  and  property-owners  of  this  City 
are  acting  unwisely  in  allowing  the  op- 
pression of  the  Hnditon  County  qnarrymen,  while 
the  City  itself  is  paying  double  the  price  asked  by 
them  for  granite-block  paving-stones  from  New- 
Fngland,  which  make  no  better  pavement  than  those 
furnished  by  the  Hudson  Coonty  quarries.  Yester- 
day aftemoon  the  dissatisfaction  caused  by  this 
condition  of  alfairs  onlmlnated  in  a  movement  on 
the  part  of  the  quarrymen  to  secure  the  establish- 
ment of  a  scale  of  pncea  more  satisfactory  to  the 
qnarrymen,  or  compel  the  suroension  of  work  in  all 
the  quarries.'  All  the  aftemooija  crowd  of  50  or  more 
of  I  he"  dissatisfied  quarrymen'"  were  congregated  on 
the  brow  of  the  hill  back  of  Weehauken,  engaged  in 
•a  discussion  of  the  situation.  At  4  o'clock  the 
■paxty  proceeded  to  a  beer  garden  near  by,  and 
■organized  a  meeting  for  the  purpose  of 
,  devising  soone  remedy  tor  their  gnevanees. 
It  was  unanimously  resolved  to  suspend  work  until 


'cut  **  is  going  to  he  a  permanent  one  they  ml^t  as 
well  have  accepted  it  and  k^t  at  work  through  the 
Summer. 

Snperintendeiit  BofF,  when  askedyesteidaywhen  the 
mill  would  re-open,  said :  •' I  cannot  teU.  ^eftutis 
that  we  have  been  strolling  under  a  heavy  load  of 
late,  and  this  rednctionls  Sie  natural  result.  The 
Singer  Sewing-machine  Company,  which  baa  general- 
ly taken  from  1,200  to  1,506  jwunds  of  oursiik 
monthly,  has  reduced  its  orders  to  100  pounds  per 
month.  Th^  have  a  large  stock  on  hand  at  Elizabeth 
and  elsewhere,  and  do  not  care  to  purchase  largely  in 
the  present  depressed  state  of  the  business.  When 
trade  improves  we  shall  probably  resume,  though 
whether  at  the  new  or  the  old  rates  I  cannot  say.  I 
do  not  think  there  is  any  tendency  to  Tiolenco  among 
the  men,  although  some  of  them  feel  rather  bitter. 
We  have  done  the  best  we  could  for  them.  We  had 
either  to  stop  work  or  cut  down  wages,  and  we  gave 
them  their  choice.  We  certainly  couldn't  do  more 
than  that,  and  many  companies  would  not  have  done 
as  much." 

The  mills  are  situated  on  Bond-street,  between 
Howard  and  Wickliffe  streets,  and  occupy  the  whole 
of  the  block.  The  main  building  is  of  brick,  four 
stories  high,  and  is  provided  with  aU  the  machinery 
and  equipments  for  the  manufacture  of  broad  silks, 
sewing  silks,  machine  twist,  seiges,  &c.  About  40 
men  and  200  women  and  children  were  employed  al- 
together. The  mill  formerly  belonged  to  the  Singer 
Silk  Manufacturing  Company,  and  was  bv  them 
transferred  to  Inslee  A.  Hopper,  of  Kewarlt,  who 
placed  the  entire  control  in  the  hands  of  the  present 
Dnainesa  manager.  ITiider  the  Singer  Company  the 
men  say  that  they  only  got  work  half  the  time,  but 
even  then  they  made  more  than  by  working  full  time 
for  Hopper  &  Cutler.  The  pay-roil  of  tiie  establish- 
ment has  been  about  $1,000  per  week.  The  dyers 
and  a  few  of  the  finishers  will  bo  employed  during  the 
nexttwoor  three  daj*B  in  finishing  up  the  work  on 
hand,  after  which  they  will  quit. 


the  contractors  acceded  to  the  demands  of  the  quarry- 
,inen  as  to  the  prices  to  be  paid  for  each  1,000 
;  blocks,  and  th&  Chairman  was  authorized  to  appoint 
itwo  committees: of  Uiree  eacn  to  visit  all  the  quarry- 
j  men  along  the  river,  from  Hndson  City  to  Bull's 
t  Ferry,  and  inform  them  of  the  movement  o^  foot, 
and  endeavor  to  induce  them  to  meet  witiF  them 
I  on  Friday  afternoon  next  to  agree  upon  a  scale 
tof  prices.  It  was  also  stMo  during  the  meeting  that 
la  1  the  blacksmiths  vinza^eiA  in  sharpening  toola  for 
[the  qoarrymen  had;volun tartly  agrtfed  to  close  their 
shops,  the  statement  being  venfled  by  several  of  the 
Tilacksmiths  present,  who  stated  that  they  would  not 
sharpen  tools  for  any  qtaarn'man  until  the  meeting 
had  declared  the  present  combination  of  oontxactors 
Bt  an  end.  The  meeting  then  adjourned,  to  meet  again 
on  Friday  aft«m<K>n  naxt,  at  the  same  place,  for  the 
purpose  of  adopting  a  scale  of  prices. 

5lr.  Henry,  who  has  charge  of  the  quarries,  as  Su- 
perintendent for  the  Weehawken  Ferry  Company. 
Eaid  that  he  had  t^een  a  quarryman  himself  fur  12 
years,  and  freely  admitted  that  he  did  not  think  that 
ihe  quarrymen  were  rec^ving  sufficient  remunera- 
tion for  their  work.  He  would  be  in  favor  of  the 
proposed  movement  to  alter  the  scale  of  prices  pro- 
"vided  he  thouglit  it  would  accomplish  any  good,  but 
B!i  he  regarded  it  it  could  result  in  nothing  bat  loss 
and  failure.  He  said  that  of  the  50  men  who  par- 
ticipated in  the  meeting,  not  three  '•onld  hold  ont  a 
•week  without  selling  their  blocks,  and  added  that  in 
less  time  than  that  they  would  all  be  imploring  the 
"contractors  to  purchase  of  them.  He  further  said  that 
2ie  should  give  out  all  abandoned  quarries  to  any 
one  who  wanted  them,  and  that  he  shoold  order  the 
blacksmiclw  to  open  their  shops  at  7  o'clock  this 
tnoming.  If  they  did  not  comjSy  he  should  at  once 
proceed  to  demolish  all  the  shops  standing  on  the 
company's  land.  He  pointed  out  some  12  or  15  men 
at  work  in  certain  quarries,  and  contended  that  the 
blacksmiths,  who  occupied  shops  rent  free  on  land 
belonging  to  the  company  mamly  upon  condition 
that  they  would  shai^wn  tools  for  every- 
body working  in  quarries,  had  no  right 
lo  rel'ase  to  comply  with  the  terms  of  the  contract, 
ftnd  added  that  he  would  not  allow  the  inauguration 
Df  any  system  of  terrorism  anywhere  within  the 
|urisdicvion  of  the  Weehawken  Ferry  Company.  He 
kaid  therv*  were  plenty  of  quarries  outside,  and  only 
Dne  or  t»o  contractors  at  present  puzvhaslng  the 
blocks,  and  that  they  could  obtain  them  elsewhere 
Just  as  easily  and  cheaper  than  at  Weehawken.  ^Jh« 
result  of  the  movement  is  nncertain,and  the  resull  of" 
•vesterday's  a-'tion  is  also  uncertain.  Thequarrymen,.

The  240  operar-tives  of  the  Newark  City,  N. 
J.,  silk  mills,  ceaaetl  work  yesterday  morning  rather 
than  submit  to  the  nednction  which  was  proposed  by 
their  employers.  Tho  strike  was  brou^t  about  by 
the  following -notice,  -which  was  posted  up  in  the  va- 
rious depanmenls  of  the  establishment  on  the  after- 
noon of  Monday- last : 

XoncE. — Owing*  to  the-«coTXttnned  dull  times  and  small 
rales,  and  the faca -that  this  business  Is  being  run  at  a 
heavy  lew*,  tt  Is  absolutely  n«ce*(sary  to  reduce  all  ex- 
pensed, and  either*to  close  the  mill  or  make  a  reduction 
!n  the  wages  of  all  15  per  cent.,  to  date  from  to-day.  If 
all  will  accept  the  reduction,  -and  contlnao  work,  or  if  all 
prefer  the  mtn  Co  /»  closed,  the  employee  will  make  It 
xnovn  to  the  superintendent  as  qufclElv  as  possible,  so 
the  arrangements  cttn  be  made-accordingiy. 

The  hour  of  cominen<dng  work  yesterday  found  the 
great  majority  of  empV)ye8  averse  to  continuing 
-work  at  the  reduced  rates,  and  after  a  careful  can- 
-^ass  of  the  question  in  «Bch  doDartment,  word  was 
.  sent  to  the  superintendent  to  tiiat  elf  oct.  The  mill 
was  accordingly  ordered  to  be  closed,  and  all  work  is 
iBtispendedforthe  present.  A'Tncss  reporter,  who 
conversed  with  several  of  the  ^operatives  yesterday 
afternoon,  found>them  peaceably  IncUned.  but  decid- 
edly bitter  against>the  managememt  of  the  concern. 
They  say  thatt:hey  ihave  already  submitted  to  one 
"cox  "  of  25  per  cent,  within  the-past  eight  months, 
and  that  the  propwed-secondreduction  would  amount 
to  starvation.  The  dyers  and  spinners,  who  are  male 
employes,  and  generally  beads  of  families,  receive 
now  but  $9  and  $6  per  week,  and  at  the  proposed 
rates  would  get  only  $7  65  and  $5  10.  "How  can 
Tou  feed  and  clothe  and  pay  rent  for  a  family  of  six 
on  $5  a  week  ?"  asked  one^f  the  men.  "We  had  hard 
enough  time  last  Winter,  and  Gtod  knows  what  wo 
shall  do  next."  "They  want  tis  to  work  for 
aiothing  at  all  and  find  btirselves,"  said  a  second. 
The  women  who  are  employed  as  "cleaners, "  "doub- 
les," and  "  spoolers,  ".earn  from  $3  to  $5  per  week, 
rhe  best  of  them  get  only  $5  50.  Under  the  15 
per  cent,  reduction  they  would  receive  from  $3  10  to 
li  95.  The  boys  and  girls,  of  whom  a  large  number 
Srork  in  the  mill,  usually  earn  from  $1  10  to  $2  10 
weekly.  15  per  cent-  from  which  would  leave  them 
but  y4  cents  and  $1  79  reflectively.  Much  of  th« 
£lame  for  these  reductiouris  placed  on  J.  D.  Cutler, 
of  Faterson,  the  business  manager.  The  men  say 
that  ever  since  he  took  conbrol  he  has  been  discharg- 
ing capable  men  who  lived  in  Newark,  and  su^ti- 
tuting  "pets"  of  his  own  from  Paterson.  Not  •ng 
^ce  he  dlatninod  a  superior  workman  who  received 
$15,  andthenimpcrtedthreeof  hisownfavoritestodo 
the  discharged  mac's  work  at  $12  a  week  each.  A 
young  and  inexperienced  graduate  of  Oocatell  Unl- 
nV-ersity  n»5  been  made  Master  M«clianio  simply  be- 
cause, as  the  men  allege,  he  is  a  cousin  of  the  man- 
liger.  ' '  A  pretty  Master  Mechanic  he  is, "  said  one  of 
them,  "  giving  orders  to  men  old  enough  to  be  his 
Father,  and  who  have  forgot  more  of  machin- 
erv  than  he  ever  learned."  Other  instances 
of' alleged  favoritism,  are  cited  by  the  strikeTS.  One 
voung  fellow  it  la  said  has  been  brought  on  from 
Brooklyn,  and  given  a  sinecure  in  the  Superintend- 
tnt's  office  at  a-aalary  of  $500  because  his  relatives 
}xe  frienda  of  Mr.  Cutler.  "  Do  you.auppose  they

Contrary  to  the  expectations  of  Messrs.  J.  N. 
Steams  &^o,,  the  160  silk  weavers  who  went  on 
.strike  on  the  7th  inst.,  still  hold  out  and  refuse  to 
return  to  work  at  the  reduced  wages  offered  by  the 
firm.  The  factory  on  Forty-second-street,  near  Third- 
arenue,  remained  closed  yesterday  and  was 
tmder  tho  charge  of  a  watchman.  There 
have  been  no  communications  between  the 
strikers  and  the  proprietors,  and  neither  party  has 
made  any  overtures  looking  to'ward  a  compromise. 
A  TiMKs  reporter  called  upon  several  of  the  girls  at 
their  boarding-houses  yesterday,  and  found  that  none 
of  them  expect  to  go  back  to  the  factory  until  their 
wages  are  restored  to  the  former  standard.  They  all 
Mrree  in  the  statement  that  the  last  redaction  made  by 
their  employers  would  lower  their  salaries  to  such  a 
figure  that  they  could  not  pay  their  board.  They 
would  not  be  justified,  they  say,  in  working  from  7 
A.  H.  to  6  P.  M.,  with  three  quarters  of  anliour  off 
at  noon,  the  time  they  were  required  to  labor,  for 
tho  pittance  of  $4  50  a  week.  When  asked  what 
they  would  do  in  case  their  old  wages  were  not  re- 
stored, ther  said  some  of  the  girls  hid  already  gone 
to  Paterson,  N.  J.,  to  see  what  eonld  be  done  there  ; 
others  would  engage  in  dress-making  ;  others  in  hair- 
dressing,  and  others  still,  in  whatever  they  could 
find  to  do,  while  some  would  have  to  be  supported 
by  their  parents.  "Of  one  thing  you  can  be  certain, " 
said  one,  "we  will  stick  together  in  this  strike,  and 
we  cannot  think  of  going  back  to  work  for  the  pay 
that  is  offered  us."

before  United  States  Commissioner  Shields,  on  a 
charge  of  selling  cigars  without  a  United  States  Gov- 
eminent  license.  The  Commissioner  havlne  ex- 
plained the  charge  to  the  unlucky  culprit,  the  Tatter 
replied,  referring  to  his  wares:  "Why,  Commis- 
sioner, these  are  not  cigai?  ;  these  are  om^  cabbage- 
leares.  and  not  taxable."  "  Ah,  if  that  is  bo,"  re-

Kirk,  Lake  Mahopi»c  and  the  Muscoot  Blvor,  In  the  town 
of  Carmel,  County  of  Ptttnani,  and  State  of  New- York. 
and  of  the  Muscoot  River  in  the  town  of  Bomers,  County 
of  Westchester,  and  Statcof  New-York,  for  the  purpose 
of  maintaining.  pre8er\-ing,  and  incrcsHlng  the  suppjy  of 
pure  and  wholesome  water  for  the  use  of  said  City. 

That  the  said  Allan  Campbell,  as  Commissioner  of  Pub- 
lic Works,  has  dcenied  and  now  deems  it  neceesary  for 
the  purpose  aforesaid,  that  the  height  to  which  the 
waters  of  the  said  several  lakes  or  natural  streams,  con- 
cerning wlilch  these  procetfdings  are  ifistltntod,  may  be 
raised,  and  the  point  to  which  such  waters  may  be  drawn 
down  by  the  said  the  Mayor.  Aldermen,  and  Commonalty 
of  the  City  of  New-York," should  be  determined  with  ref- 
erence to  each  of  said  lakes  and  streams  respectively,  aa 
follows,  viz.: 

As  to  Lake  Kirk,  the  limit  of  elevation  of  the  water 
should  be  on  a  level  witn  a  point  four  feet  below  the  up- 
per south-westerly  comer  of  the  westerly  capstone  on  the 
easterly  half  of  the  dam  at  the  outlet  of  said  lake  ;  and- 
the  limit  of  depression  of  the  water  should  be  on  a  level 
with  a  point  24  feet  9  inches  below  said  comer  of  said 
ca^tone. 

As  to  Lake  Mahopac.  the  limit  of  elevation  of  the  water 
should  l>e  at  a  jwint  six  inches  below  the  top  of  a  certain 
ro<^k  designated  as  Turtle  Rock,  neor  the  outlet  of  said 
lake  ;  and  the  limit  of  depression  of  the  water  should  be 
at  A  point  four  feet  below  the  top  of  said  rock. 

As  to  the  Muscoot  HKer,  the  limit  of  elevation  of  tho 
water  should  be  such,  that  at  the  point  when;  the  bridge 
on  the  Peeksklll  road  and  nert  below  the  Red  MUU  pond 
crosses  said  river,  the  waters  thereof  mav  bo  raised  to 
the  level  of  the  top  of  the  large  stone  In  the  north 
comer  of  the  west  aoatment  of  said  bridge  and  propor- 
tionately in  ether  poinU  of  said  river  thmughout  its  en 
tire  course  i  and  the  limit  of  deprejwlon  of  the  water 
should  be  such  that  at  said  bridge  they  raav  be  lowered 
to  a  level  with  a  point  four  feet  below  the  ton  of  said 
large  tOoue  in  said  ahatment,  (said  point  being  at  tho 
bottom  of  the  bed  of  the  stream  as  it  eilnted  on  Aug.  1 1, 
1877,)  and  proportionately  in  other  parts  of  aaid  river 
throughout  ItB  entire  coarse. 

Mr.  Campbell  then,  petitioning  In  his  official  ea- 
pacitv,  prays  that  tiie  CommisRloners  to  be  appointed 
shotild  determine  the  height  to  which  such  waters 
may  be  raised,  and  the  point  to  which  they  may  be 
drawn  down  by  the  City,  *'  in  accordance  with  the 
foregoing  declaration  of  the  necessity  of  the  said 
City."  and  that '•  in  order  to  enter  upon,  take,  and 
use  the  waters  aforesaid  to  the  indicated  extent  It  Is 
neces.sary  either  to  acquire  all  rights,  titles, 
and  interests  in  and  to  the  several  lots, 
pieces,  or  parcels  of  real  estate,  <afl  the  terra  real 
estate  is  defined  by  the  said  law,)  which  are  herein- 
after generally  described,  or  to  pay  for  and  extin- 
guish all  claims  or  damages  on  acconnt  of  such  rights, 
titles,  or  Interests,  or  growing  out  of  such  taking  or 
using."  Descriptions  in  detail  of  the  several  parcels 
of  land  necessary  to  be  acquired  are  then  given  in 
the  petition. 

The  meaning  of  the  term  "  real  estate,"  as  nsed  in 
the  act,  is  given  in  the  act  as  follows  : 

Sectiok  in.  The  term  real  estate,  as  used  In  this  act, 
ahalllje  construed  to  signify  and  embrace  all  uplands,  land 
under  water,  the  waters  of  anv  lake,  pond,  or  stream,  all 
water-rights  or  privllcstea.  and  any  and  all  easement*  and 
Incori>*jreal  hereditaments,  and  every  estat'>.  Intercut  and 
right,  legaJ  an>i  equitable,  in  lands  or  water,  including 
terms  for  years,  and  liens  thereon  by  way  of  judgment, 
mortgage,  or  i^therwise,  and  also  all  claims  for  damage  to 
such  real  estate^ 

Corporation  Counsel  Whitney  says  that  this  con- 
struction will  prevent  the  neceutty  buying  ex- 
pensive villaA  and  hotel  property  around  Lake  lUaho- 
pac,  which  would  be  of  no  benefit  to  the  City,  and 
that  this  proceeding  wiU  put  an  end  to  the  protracted 
disputes  between  property-owners  relative  to  lands 
acquired  for  water -rights,  and  also  many  suits  in  re- 
lation thereto.  He  says  the  present  act  was  prepared 
by  himself  and  the  Commis^doner  of  Pnblic 
Worka  with  great  care,  and  allows  the 
fixing  by  the  Commissioners  of  Appraisement 
of  a  limit  of  elevation  and  depression  of  the  water 
and  an  award  of  final  damage  for  all  fnture  changes 
of  level  within  those  limits.  In  reference  to  the 
lakes,  he  says  they  will  add  greatly  to  the  reserve 
snpply  of  water.  I^ake  Mahopac,  he  says,  is  600 
acres  m  area,  and  the  City  asks  the  privilege  of  draw- 
ing four  feet  of  it.  KirkLAkels  not  so  large,  built 
is  even  better  as  a  reservoir,  as  a  dam  has  oeen  con- 
structed there  which  will  enable  the  City  to  draw  off 
20  feet  of  water  from  it.  It  ^so  has  a  very  large 
water-shed,  and  fills  rapidly.  The  groat  clearness 
and  sparkle  of  the  waters  of  Mahopac  add  largely  to 
their  value.  The  lake  is  fed  entirely  by  springs,  and 
a  little  of  it  added  from  time  to  time  to  the  supply 
drawn  from  the  storage  reservoirs  In  Summer,  will 
add  greatly  to  the  quality  of  the  water  as  it  reaches 
tho  City. 

Tbejpetition  referred  to,  which  is  filed  at  Carmel 
and  White  Plains  for  the  information  of  all  the 
parties  interested,  is  to  be  presented  at  a  Special 
Term  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  White  Plains,  at  noon, 
on  Saturday,  the  '20th  of  next  October,  and  a  motion 
will  then  be  made  that  its  prayer  be  granted. 

POLICE   STUPIDITY  AND    OUTRAGE, 

BRINGING    A    DTING    CHILD     INTO     COUBT-:— 
SCATHING  REBUKE  BT  JUSTICE  SJIITH. 

Another  case  of  Police  outrage  and  stupidity 
came  before  Justice  Smith  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court 
yesterday.  The  facts  of  the  case  are  as  follows : 
John  Buckley,  who  lives  at  No.  68  James-street,  Is  a 
sober,  hardworking,  industrious  man.  He  was  work- 
ing during  all  Monday  night,  and  on  coming  home  to 
his  breakfast  on  Tuesday  morning  found  his  wife  In- 
toxicated. With  a  father's  feelings  he  reminded  her 
of  the  condition  of  their  sick  child,  which  required 
careful  nursing.  She  grew  forious,  both  quarreled, 
and  he,  losing  all  control  of  himself,  in  an  evil  mo- 
ment struck  her  with  his  clenched  fist  over 
the  right  eye,  causing  an  ttgly  woimd. 
The  wife  wont  in  search  of  a  policeman  to  arrest  her 
husband.  She  unlnckily  met  Officer  Mink,  of  the 
Oak-Street  Police-station,  and  to  him  related  her 
story.  He  went  up  staira,  arrested  Buckley,  and  at 
the  same  time  insisted  upon  his  wife  commg  along 
with  him  to  the  station-house  to  make  complaint. 
Mrs.  Buckley,  tipsy  as  she  was,  explained  to  the 
officer  that  her  child  was  dying  from  cholera 
infantum,  and,  with  a  mother's  instincts  and 
tender  feelings,  implored  the  officer  on  her  bended 
knees  to  allow  her  to  remain  and  watch  over 
her  child.  Mink  refused  to  listen  to  her  appeal,  and, 
with  a  triumphant  flourish  of  his  club,  dragged  both 
to  the  stataon-houso,  the  mother  carrying  the  dying 
babe  in  her  arms.  At  court  yesterday  the  officer, 
instead  of  immediately  calling  the  attention  of  the 
Justice  to  the  case,  sauntered  around  for  half  an  hour 
uutU  his  name  was  called  by  the  clerk.  Jtistice 
Smith,  upon  seeing  the  dying  condition  of  the  child, 
immediately  ordered  Mink  to  take  the  child  to  the 
Chambers- Street  Hospital,  where  the  iSurgeoa  in 
chaise  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that  the  child  would  not 
live. 

When  tho  officer  came  back  in  the  afternoon  to  re- 
port, the  Justice  addressed  him  as  follows :  "  To 
bring  a  dying  child  here  is  the  bl^st  piece  of  Police 
stupidity  I  have  ever  seen  in  my  life  ;  'tis  a  perfect 
outrage  on  humanity,  and  I  shall  see  that  the  proper 
parties  will  fijid  out  whether  it  was  your  fault  or  that 
of  the  Sergeantat  the  desk."  Sergt. Pitzgerald was  at 
the  desk  when  the  officer  brought  the  parties  to  the 
station-house.  The  officer  had  no  immediate  neces- 
sity for  arresting  the  woman,  as  he  could  have 
brought  the  husoand  before  the  Justice,  and  had 
him  remanded  until  such  time  as  his  wife  was  ready 
to  appear.  Those  Jn  the  eourt-rerom  yesterday  ex- 
pressed the  deepest  syn^xathy  for  the  couple. 

THE  VSIYESSAJj  LIFE, 
The  case  of  the  Attomoy-General  against  the 
TTniversal  liife  Insurance  Company  was  continued 
yesterday  before  the  Kefereo,  I.  V-  French.  The 
cross-exaoaination  of  John  T.  Wakeman,  the  real 
estate  expert  from  New-Jersey,  by  Judge  Green,  that 
was  adjourned  on  Friday,  was  continued,  and  lasted 
froif  XI  A.  M.  till  4  P.  M.  The  witness  was  exam- 
ined aa  to  the  relative  prices  of  real 
estate  in  and  atxrat  Newark,  about  his  esti- 
mates       of       the        value       of       property,        iand 

In  irhat manner  he  arrived  at  the  conclusions  upon __   __  _    ___   ,

AA"  ILLICIT  DISTILLERY  DESTROYED. 
The  revenue  officer  of  tho  Second  Distrfct 
having  received  information  a  few  days  ago  that^n 
Illicit  distillery  vrae  being  operated  on  the  premises 
of  the  unoccupied  building,  formerly  tised  by  the  Na- 
tional Car  Spring  Factory,  situated  on  the  Bonlevanl, 
between  One  Hundred  and  Twenty-ninth  and  One 
Hundred  and  Thirtieth  streeta,  proceeded  to  verify 
the  report.  A  8i>ecial  officer  was  detailed,  and  after 
watching  tho  premises  for  several  nights  bernme  as- 
sured that  the  distillery  was  being  regularly  operated, 
and  that  It  was  joeated  in  that  portion  of 
the  factory  which  faced  t>ne  Hundred  and 
Twenty-ninth-street.  A  raid  was  accordingly 
planned,  and  was  made  early  ypstenlay  morning  tiu- 
der  the  supervision  of  Deputy  Collector  Max  Weber, 
assisted  by  Capt.  Leary.  of  the  Thirtieth  Precinct, 
and  five  8i»eclal  Police  officers.  The  factory  having 
been  surronnded,  and  all  moans  of  escape  thorcfrom 
cut  oflf.  a  descent  was  made  lnt<j  the  cellar  of  the 
bnildlng.  In  the  right  hand  comer  of  which  a  still  of 
180  gallons  capacity  was  found  in  complete  working 
order,  with  furnaces  and  the  other  appur- 
tenanoes.  Two  thousand  gnllons  of  mash 
were  also  discovered  ready  for  tiso.  together 
with  a  large  quantity  of  whiskv.  The  latter 
commodity  was  seized,  and  the  mash,  sriU,  and  fur- 
nace entirely  destroyed.  While  tho  destruction  was 
in  progress,  Officer  Kehoe,  who  was  on  guard  in  a 
vacjuit  lot  adjoining  the  building,  arrested  a  man  just 
as  he  was  in  the  act  of  issuing  from  a  snbterranean 
passage  with  the  Intention  of  sneaklnK  away.  Wien 
arretted  he  asked  the  officer  to  permit  tiim  to  go  back 
and  get  some  clothes  he  liad  left  behli  d.  The  re- 
quest, of  course,  was  refused,  but  an  investigation 
was  made  which  resulted  in  the  discovery  of  a  long 
tindergroimd  passage  leading  from  the  distillery  into 
the  vacant  lot,  by  which  entrance  to  and  exit 
from  the  distUlery  had  been  afforded,  and  which  had 
prooahly  been  considered  a  guard  against  detection 
by  the  operator  of  the  still.  The  prisoner,  who  gave 
his  name  as  Thomas  Smith,  was  taken  before  United 
States  Commissioner  Shields  yesterday  afternoon, 
to  whom  he  stated  that  he  knew  nothing  of  the  ex- 
istence of  the  still,  and  had  merelv  been  attracted  to 
the  spot  by  curiosity,  having  watched  the  officers  sur- 
rounding the  htiildings.  He  was  held  In  default  of 
$2,.000  bail  for  exandnation  on  Thursday  next.

TRAGIC  INCIDENT  ON  A  STEAMER, 


AN  INEBRIATED  MAN  DISAPPE.^RS  FROM  HIS 
STATE-ROOM — HE  IS  SUPPOSED  TO  HAVE 
JUMPED  OTERBOAD  DURING  AN  ATTACK 
OF   DELIRIUM  TREMENS. 

Between  1  and  2  o'clock  on  Monday  aft«r- 
noon.  while  the  propeller  City  of  New-Bedford  was 
lying  at  her  wharf  in  New-Bedford,  3tass..  a  respect- 
ably-attired man  came  aboard  with  a  passage  ticket 
for  New- York  City,  whicli  he  said  he  had  purchased 
at  Martha's  Vineyard.  Ho  added  that  hjs  name  was 
Charles  W.  Johnston,  and  ordered  a  state-room  at 
once.  He  was  accordingly  a.ssigned  to  state-room 
No.  23.  which  is  situated  on  the  upper  deck  about 
amidships  on  the  port  side.  TJ^  stranger,  who  was 
at  that  timo^  considerably  under  the  iniluence  of 
liquor,  immedUitely  retired  to  the  state-room  and 
locked  himFelf  iu.  The  steamer  left  New-Bedford 
about  6  o'clock  on  ifondav  evening  for  this  port, 
and  soon  after  she  had  got  under  way 
one  of  the  waiters  was  sent  to  Mr. 
Johnston's  rf»om  to  ascertain  if  he  wiah»d 
supper.  Johnston,  who  was  partially  undressed,  or- 
dered supper  to  be  sent  to  his  moni.  and  the  request 
was  complied  with.  Nothing  further  was  seen  of  the 
.Grange  passenger  until  about  midnight,  when  Quar- 
termaster Brock,  who  was  going  on  ivafccb,  while  on 
the  way  to  the  pilot-house,  noticed  Johnston  walking 
a'oout  the  promenade  deck.  At  3  A.  M..  when  the 
steamer  was  off  ^Stratford  Light,  about  eight 
or  ton  miles  from  either  shore,  and  going  at 
the  rate  of  about  12  miles  an  hour.  Johnston  ac- 
costed Charles  La  wton,  the  forward  lookout  on  the 
main  deck,  and  a.sked  if  ho  could  get  any  liquor  on 
board.  Lawton  told  him  that  he  could  not  at  that 
hour.  He  then  left  Lawton  and  departed  in  the  di- 
rection qf  his  state-room.  When  the  steamer  arrived 
at  Pier  No.  30  East  River,  at  S  o'clock  yesterday 
morning,  the  purser.  W.  H:  Brownell.  foTind  xhat 
Johnston  had  not  made  his  appearanr^  with  the 
other  passengers,,  and  fcoinp  t'>  the  stite-room  oc- 
cupied by  him  found  the  door  locked  with  the  key 
inside.  Tho  window  of  the  state-room  was  open.  an<l 
on  looking  in  Brownell  discovered  that  the  occupant 
had  di.sappeareo.  The  room  was  entered 
and  Johnston's  clothing  was  found  scattered 
abont.  On  the  washstand  were  his  passage 
ticket  and  an  eraptj-  quart  bottle,  which  had  con- 
tained whi8k>'.  It  was  evident  that  Johnston  had 
either  fallen  or  jumped  overboard  from  the  steamer. 
The  officers  of  the  boat  are  of  the  impression  that 
the  missing  man .  crawled  out  of  the  window  of  his 
state-room,  and  jumped  overboard  from  the  rail, 
while  suffering  from  an  attack  of  delirium  tremens. 

The  only  clue  to  his  identity  was  an  empty 
envelope  addrespcd  "Oiarles  W.  Johnston, 
Yacht  Dolphin.  Edgartowu.  Martha's  Vineyard. 
Ma»s."  Thi.s  was  indorsed  ■■  in  haste. "  and  bore  an 
almost  illegible  post-mark,  supposed  to  be  "'Port 
Kichmond,  N.  Y."  The  clothing  found  in  the  room 
consisted  of  the  following  articles : 

A  pair  of  light  striped  ca-shmere  pantaloons,  pair  of 
suspeBders,  bla-jk  diagonal  frock  coat  and  vest,  white 
shirt,  linen  collar,  three  bras-i  studs,  whitt-  pocket  han- 
kerchief.  light  strined  silk  necktie,  ring  containing  four

pencil,  white  straw  hat.  (marked  Attii  &  Co,,)  pair  of 
buttoned  gaiters,  cloth  tops;   pair  of  white  cotton  socks. 

The  following  description  of  the  missing  man  was 
furnished  to  the  Police  by  tlie  purser  and  the  watch- 
m.in:  About  5  feet  5  mches  in  height,  full  face, 
light  hair,  mustache,  and  blue  eyes.  His  effects  are 
in  the  hands  of  the  Police,  awaiting  a  claimant-

fHE  RUSSO-TURKISH  WAR. 


TEE  SITUATION  IX  BULGARIA. 

AUSSIAiT  BATTERIES  BOMBARDING  RUSTCnUK 
— A  SECOND  BRIDGE  OVER  THE  DANUBE — 
THE  MASSACRE  OP  CHRISTIANS — A  SUM- 
MARY OF  THE  SITUATION  BY  A  LONDON 
CORRESPONDENT. 

London,  Aug.  15. — A  special  dispatch  to 
Ihe  Daily  News  reports  that  at  Topkoi  on  3Ion-^ 
day  the  Rii.ssians  ^vere  defeated  and  lost  five 
,  cannon,  instead  of  the  Turks,  as  previously  re- 
ported. If  this  account  is  true,  it  is  probably 
some  operation  in  the  direction  of  Osman 
Bazar. 

Btrc-TABEST,  An^.  13.— The  Russian  batteries 
at  Slobozia  bombarded  Rustchuk  last  ni^ht, 
can  sing  a  conflagration  which  lasted  until  mid- 
nie^ht.  The  Turks  have  been  bombarding 
Giurpevo  since  5  o'clock  this  morning.  The 
Russian  batteries  are  not  replying. 

Shusila.  Aug.  15. — The  Russians  yesterday 
compietcil  a  second  bridge  over  the  Dan- 
ube at  Pj'egos,  and  troops  are  now 
passing         over.  It         is         stated        that 

a  Turkish  rc-connoitering  partv  found  Kustendje 
evacuar«*d  by  the  Russians.  I'he  Turks  recon- 
noitered  in  several  directions  from  Kustendje 
without  meeting  the  enemy. 

LoNUON,  Aug.  16.— The  -Veics'  Bucharest  cor- 
TOi^pondent  says:  "From  reports  which  con- 
tinne  to  arrive  here  I  very  much  feiir  that  the 
particulars  concerning  the  Eski-Sagra  massacres 
were  understated  rather  than  overstated.  It 
seems  if  these  things  continue  many  days  longer 
not  a  single  Christian  will  be  loft  alive  on  the 
slopes  of  the  Southern  Balkans. 

A  Timeg  oeca.sional  correspondent  at^'ien- 
na  sends  the  following  summary  of  the 
situation :  In  the  Balkans,  fragments  of 
Gen,  Gonrko's  corps  are  intrenching 
them.ielves  in  the  Shipka  Pass.  The 
Eighth  Corps,  appointed  to  support  them,  is 
echeloned  between  SeU'i-Brenovaand  Timova. 
A  division  of  the  Eleventh  Corps  occupies  Koya- 
rawitz.  Against  these  troops,  which  form  the 
bulk  of  the  Ru.ssian  forces  in  Western  Bulgaria, 
a  Turkish  army  corps  is  slowly  hut  steadily  ad- 
vancing froin  Shumla.  via  Osmau-Bazar. 
Suleiman  Pa-^^ha.  too.  wich  a  portion  of  his  army, 
is  advancing  in  the  direction  of  Elena.  Lastly, 
some  of  Osmau'smen  are  marching  from  Lova'tz 
on  Gabrova.  The  Russian  reinforcements  art 
more  than  counterbalanced  by  the  troopj 
which  the  Turks  are  receiving  from 
Asia.  The  sanitary  condition  of  the 
Russians  is  so  much  worse  than  that  cf  the 
TurKs  that  the  gaps  occasioned  by  sickness 
among  the  former  almost  establish  an  equilib- 
rium of  forces  between  the  combatants. 


that  his  left  aide  is  partially  paralyzed,  and  his 
friends  in  Washington  fear  that  his  illness  is  of 
a  very  serious  ch^hcter. 

THE   MONTANA    INDIAN    TROUBLES, 


ROVMANIA  AND  SEHVIA  A XD  GREECE 
London,  Aug.  15. — The  report  containeti 
in  the  Statuinrd's  Constantinople  special  dis- 
patch, publi.shed  this  morning,  that  an  alliance 
between  Koumania  and  Servia  has  been 
roncluded,  and  that  it  is  expected  that 
the  Russians  and  Roumanians  will  almost  im- 
mediately enter  Servia  and  be  joined  by  the 
Servians  is  probably  entirely  imaginary.  The 
news  from  Belgrade,  X'ienna,  and  Bucharest  is  sc 
far  from  contlrming  it  that  it  seem.s  certain  that 
Russia  has  not  called  for  Servian  co-operation 
and  will  not  enter  Servian  territory,  and  that 
no  movement  by  Servia  against  Turkey  is  like- 
ly to  be  effected  the  present  season. 

The  most  reliable  information  from  Greece 
also  leads  to  the  belief  that  there  will  be 
no  action  at  present,  though  there  is  a  con- 
siderable show  of  excitement  and  warlike  en 
tbi;:Miasm.  In  Athens  a  strong  under  current 
of  popular  opinion  favors  an  attidude  of  armed 
observation.  _ 

NOTES  OF  THE  CAXPAIGN 

St.  Petep..«:bcrg,  Aug.  In. — The  Mini.s- 
try  oi"  War  officially  declared  the  mobilization  of 
the  whole  Russian  Army  untrue.    =- 

Mr.  Scudamore  has  resigned  the  Director- 
!;hip  of  the  International  Ottoman  Post  Office. 
The  fortifications  of  Gallipoli  are  nearly  com- 
pleted. 

Renters  Erzeroum  dispatch,  dated  Aug. 
15.  reports  iha:  the  Russian  c^^ntre  is  now 
heavily  reinforced,  and  has  commenced  a  serious 
offensive  movement.  Important  events  are  ex- 
pected .shortly. 

London,  Aug.  16.— The  Timf.'i'  Berlin 
correspond** nt  telegraphs  :  "  There  have  been 
numerous  arrests  in  (TaJlcia  in  consequence  of 
the  secret  enlistment  of  volunteers  to  serve 
against  Russia  in  Poland  and  Turkey." 

Constantinople,  Aug.  15. — The  Turki  h 
Army  in  the  Province  of  Bagdad,  numbering 
35,000  men.  has  been  summoned  to  Constanti- 
nople, and  will  come  by  the  Valley  of  the 
Euphrates.  It  will  be  replaced  In  the  Bagdad 
district  by  Militia. 

London,  Aug.  15. — A  Reuter  telegram 
!rom  Athens  contains  the  following:  "Ac- 
cording to  trustworthy  information  two 
Turkish  iron-clads  have'  sunk  a  Greek  ves- 
sel croising  off  the  Island  of  Cirigo. 
Tba  Christian  p*>pulation  of  the  Province  of 
Janin^  are  fleeing  en  ynasse  to  escape  the  t\Tan- 
i&y  of  the  Turks.

the  present  incumbent,  has  been  asked  to  re- 
sign, and  If  he  does  not  do  so  will  be  suspended, 
the  President  being  of  opinion  that  Campbell'.'; 
removal  was  through  improper  representations. 

Secretary  Schurz  denies  the  truth  of 
the  statement  that  the  reason  why  he  did 
not  accompany  the  President  to  Vermont 
was  that  he  did  not  feel  sufficient  confidence  in 
his  principal  subordinates  to  intrust  his  depart-

any  truth  in  the  report  that  the  Secretary  de- 
sires the  removal  of  Assistant  Secretary  Bell.

AUTHORIZE — THE     REPORTS     OP    INDIAN 
OUTRAGES    SAID  TO   BE  GREATLY  EXAG- 
GERATED. 

^pfcial  DispiUdi  to  the  Xtrw-Forlt  Time*. 
Chicago,  Aug.  1,5. — Dispatches  from 
Montana  Territory  pnblished  this  morning 
claim  t'nat  Gov.  Potts  is  calling  for  more  volun- 
teers todefendtheTerritoryfrom  invasion  by  tho 
Nez  Perces  Indians,  and  Lieut-Gen.  Sheridan,  in 
whose  hands  the  matter  rests  refuses  to  au- 
thorize him  to  enlist  volunteers.  As  the  dis- 
patches read,  it  would  seem  that  there  was 
nelgigence  on  the  part  of  Gen.  Sheridan  about 
protecting  the  interests  of  the  frontiersmen  or 
examining  into  the  real  situation  of  affair.s. 
Yoiu-  correspondent  had  a  long  conversa- 
tion with  Gen.  Sheridan  at  his  head- 
quarters to-day,  regarding  this  subject, 
in  which  he  stated  that  a  greater  por- 
tion of  the  reports  that'»  come  from  that 
country  aro  gotten  up  in  the  interest  of  some 
particular  individual  or  party,  and  to 
furthor  the  interests  of  some  political 
.scheme.  He  was  disposed  to  treat  of  the 
Indian  atrocities  lightly.  He  s.iid  that  the  re- 
ports wero  generally  greatly  exaggerated.  For 
instance,  it  was  reported  that  tho  Indians  were 
murdenag  and  committing  depredations  all 
along  their  route  of  retreat,  when  the 
truth  of  the  matter  was  there  were  two  men 
killed  at  the  old  Mormon  fort  where  the  In- 
•lians  stopped  on  their  retreat  to  Salmon 
River  head  waters,  and  that  was  the 
extent  of  the  murders.  He  scouled  the 
idea  that  the  Indians  -.vere  likely  to  pass 
through  Montana  on  their  way  to  hunt 
buffalo,  as  there  were  none  in  that 
reg-ion  this  season.  In  order  to  reach 
points  where  buffalo  grazed  this  year  the  Indians 
would  "have  to  pass  through  tho  central  portion 
of  Montana,  which  was  thickly  settled, 
t>  a  point  about  600  miles  east — a 
-scheme  which  would  not  bo  likely  to  be 
popular  with  the  redskin.s.  as  they  had  only  a 
small  band  at  best,  while  the  country  was 
Thickly  peopled  and  the  inhabitants  were  armed. 
The  otherbuffalo  region,  the  General  stated,  was 
north  of  the  Missouri  Ri»'er.  so  it  was 
preposterous  io  suppose  that  the  hostiles 
were  contemplating  a  passage  through  Mon- 
tana. According  to  tho  opinion  of  many 
militarj-  oflicers  at  hcrid-quarters,  who  hav'e 
visited  the  scene  of  the  disturbances,  Gov.  Potts 
is  ••  tearing  his  shirt,"  to  use  the  language  of  one 
of  them,  and  is  trying  to  gain  popularity.  It 
is  said  that  Gov.  f  otts  has  not  been  too  well 
liked  since  he  commenced  his  Administration, 
and  as  there  is  notbin;;  which  -w-ill  make  an 
Executive  so  popular  as  to  call  out  volun- 
teers, he  is  striiing  to  further  his  purpose. 
It  is  furthermore  stated  that  calling  for  volun- 
teers is  an  old  scheme  with  this  official  for 
various  other  reasons.  Tho  arming  and  equip- 
ping of  a  lot  of  volunteers.  Sheridan  says, 
■vould  involve  the  tioverument  in  an  ex- 
pense of  from  $3,000,000  to  $7,000,000, 
and  not  a  tenth  part  of  this  sura  would  ever 
be  accounted  for.  It  is  for  this  reason  that 
Gen.  Sheridan  is  slow  to  take  the  responsibility 
of  calling  for  volunteers,  especially  when  he 
can  see  no  cause  for  doing  so.  Again,  there 
are  regularly  organized  troops  to  be 
hail  to  put  the  Indians  down  in 
Montana,  without  organizing  new  companies 
of  men  who  will  be  raw  and  deficient  at  best, 
and  regular  troops  who  aro  all  equipped  and 
ready  to  march  at  a  day's  notice  can  be  put  into 
the  field  much  sooner  tlian  volunteers  could  be 
enlisted  and  f«mished  with  supplies.

day's  proceedings  of  the  Dnetal  Convention 
were  of  a  rather  interesting  character  to  the 
general  public,  though  very  scientific.  A  paper 
was  read  by  Dr.  Atkinson,  of  New- York,  on 
'•  Embryology,"  which  was  the  event  of  the  day. 
He  discu-ssed  the  question  in  the  most  profound 
manner,  and  said  all  dentists  should  study 
biology.  Drs.  Taft,  of  Cincinnati ;  S.  Water- 
man, C.  B.  Evans,  J.  J.  Caldwell,  R.  Findley 
Hunt,  of  Baltimore,  and  J.  R.  Walker,  of  Xew-

ing of  County  Commissioners,  representing  An- 
derson, Franklin,  Johnson,  I,eavenworth,  and 
Dougla.ss  Counties,  held  here  to-day  to  discuss 
bond  matters,  it  was  generally  stated  that  the 
several  counties  were  unable  to  pay  the 
fidl  amount  of  their  bonded  indebtedness. 
There  -was  also  a  general  belief  expressed  in 
tho  fraudulent  character  of  the  bonds  them- 
selves, and  a  determination  to  resist  any  and 
all  effona  looking  toward  a  full  or  forcible  col- 
lection. At  a  secret  session  of  the  Commis- 
sioners an  executive  committee  was  appointed, 
which  is  understood  to  have  been  empowered 
to  employ  Hon.  Matt.  Carpenter  as  counsel  to 
assist  in  effecting  a  favorable  compromise.

Hartford,  Conn.,  Aug.  15. — The  Char- 
ter Oak  Life  Insurance  Company,  .ftnding  that 
its  current  income  is  not  sufficient  to  meet 
maturing  death  claims  and  endowment  and 
other  payments  falling  due,  has  begtm  borrow- 
ing on  its  Western  mortgages.  It  has 
just  negotiated  a  loan  of  $100,000  with 
the  Connecticut  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany onmortgages  on  property  located  in  Cincin- 
nati, St  Louis,  Toledo,  and  Chicago.  The  Con- 
necticut Mutual  officers  have  had  all  the  real 
estate  covered  by  those  mortgages  examined 
and  reappraised,  and  will  loan  not  to  exceed 
50  per  cent,  of  the  appraisal,  and  not 
exceeding  75  per  cent,  of  the  amount 
of  notes  secured  by  the  mortgages.  As  the 
negotiable  securities  owned  by  the  company 
are  all  hypothecated,  and  its  building  in  Hart- 
ford is  mortgaged  for  $200,000  to  the  *tna  Life 
Company,  tho  only  resource  left  Is  to  raise 
money  on  its  mortgages.  But  it  is  hoped  that 
this  necessity  will  not  long  continue,  and  there 
is  an  expectation  on  the  part  of  the  managers  of 
tho  company  that  it  will  not.  Itwould  destroy 
all  hopes  of  .succe-ssful  recuperation  in  the  inter- 
est of  policy-holders,  as  insurance  men  here  look 
at  it.  Should  there  bo  a  long  continuance  in  the

MR.  rURBER'S  LETTER  AND  WHAT  MEMBERS 
OP  THE  CHICAGO  COMMITTEE  SAT  ABOUT 
IT— MR.  SHERWOOD  READY  TO  VOUCH 
FOR  HIS  FI'JURES — PURBER'S  8TATE- 
MEXTS  DEXOUSCED  AS  UTTEBLT  FALSE. 
Special  Dtepateh  to  tfte  Jf eto- York  TinuM, 

Chicago,  Aug.  15.— The  letter  of  H.  J. 
Furber,  late  of  the  Charter  Oak  Life  Insurance 
Company,  to  Tue  New- York  Times,  and 
which  was  reproduced  in  tho  Chicago 
Iritntne  this  morning,  has  brought  out 
rpplios  from  the  g^cnilemon  who  acted  on  the 
committee  which  went  to  Hartford  from 
this  city  recently  to  investigate  the  company's 
affairs,  and  who,  in  their  report  submitted  on 
Monday  to  the  meeting  of  policy-holders  here, 
took  occasion  to  denouuce  the  eourse  pursued 
by  Furber.  Wip^n,  ^^'hite,  and  other  f  officials. 
A  Tribune  reporter  today  called  upon  Mr- 
George  Sherwood  and  Hon.  'WilUam  Bross,  and 
had  interviews  with  them  concerning  Furber's 
exceptions  to  their  strictures  upon  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Charter  Oak  Company.  The  alle- 
gations of  Furber  in  the  letter  referred  to  were 
sweeping  in  their  character,  and  he 
denounced  Rev.  Dr.  Ryder,  Mr.  Sher- 
woi-ti.  and  Mr.  Bross  as~utterers  of  un- 
truths, provided  tho  published  reiKjrt 
ot  their  utterances  at  the  Sherman  House  meet- 
ing was  a  faithful  one,  Mr.  Sherwood  ?aid  he 
had  looked  over  the  report  of  his  remarks, 
which  was  correct  throughout.  His  atten- 
tion was  drawn  to  Furber's  allegation 
that  the  committee  never  examined  a 
book  or  paper  of  the  company,  but  after 
listening  to  the  President's  story.  Sherwood 
himself  stated,  the  committee  wore  satisfied 
that  the  management  of  the  company  since  the 
retirement  of  Walkeley  had  been  judicious. 
Mr.  Sherwood  states  emphatically  that 
he  never  said  anything  of  the  kind. 
■*  Furber's  a.ssertion  is  a  gross  falsehood.  I 
will  tell  yon  what  we  did  do.  The  entire  com- 
mittee waited  on  Mr.  M'iggin,  who  to!d  liis 
story  from  beginning  to  end.  It  is  unnecessary* 
to  repeat  ail  of  liis  yam  much  of  which  liad 
nothing  to  do  with  the  points  at  issue,  but  I  will 
give  you  the  leading  features  of  it. 
He  stated  that  he  and  thirber  would 
never  have  gone  into  the  company  at  all  if  they 
had  known  or  entertained  any  idea  of  the  cor- 
niption  and  mismanagement  of  the  previous 
managers.  They  [Furber  and  himself]  had 
found  .$1,000,000  in  premium  notes  counted 
as  assets  which  possessed  no  value  whatever. 
There  were  many  other  crooked  things :  the  ac- 
counts were  in  a  chaotic  state,  and  they  could 
not  make  head  or  tail  of  them.  Some  of  tho 
books  were  missing,  and  the  cash  has  never 
been  balanced  at  all.  Then.*'  continued  Mr. 
•Sherwood,  "the  committee  asked  him,  Why  is 
it  that  this  Mr.  ^Vlutc.  who  was  connected 
with  the  former  management,  and  who  it  U 
generally  charged  and  acknowledged  is  so  cor- 
rupt, is  still  retained  in  the  service  of  the 
company  at  a  salary  of  $10,000  or 
.•?12.000  per  annum.  To  this  Wiggin  re- 
plied, 'Ihatisan  impertinent  question."  There 
are  certain  matters  in  court  on  which  we  want 
his  testimony,  and  we  thought  it  better  to  keep 
him  than  to  dismiss  him.  But  the  experts  who 
have  examined  oair  books  say  that  they  never 
saw  a  better  kept  set  of  books  in  their  liTes."  Mr, 
Sherwood  then  asked,  "How  do  you  get  up  such 
a  first-rlass  set  of  books  from  the  ma.ss  of  rub- 
bish which  you  and  Furber  found  on  takingpos- 
session!"  3Ir.  Wiggin  replied  that  they 
went  to  work  jnst  the  same  as  one 
would  in  a  country  store,  and  took  an 
inventory  of  evor>-thing.  They  .«!ent  agents 
all  over  the  country  to  examine  into  all  the  real 
estate,  and  looked  up  every  detail  of  business. 
The  committee  then  returned,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  Mr.  Sherwood,  wbo  remained  to  exam- 
ine the  liooks.  He  asked  to  see  the  in- 
ventorj-,  and,  after  uome  delay,  caused  by 
wailing  for  a  clerk  who  was  said  to  know 
all  about  it,  this  wa.s  jiroduced,  as  were  also  the 
books.  To  Sherwood's  utter  astonishment,  the 
first  entry  in  this  much-bepraised  set  of  books 
bore  date  May  12,  1S7*5,  How  they  ever  got 
them  started  he  didn't  know,  and  how  much  the 
company  might  have  been  robbed  of  prior  to 
the  date  of  the  commencement  there  seemed  no 
means  of  telling.  Mr.  Sherwood  emphatically 
reiterates  his  statement  that  "Wiggin  and  i-^ur- 
ber  were  installed  in  their  places  through  cor- 
ruptioUr  and  their  management  has  been  reck- 
less, cruel,  and  criminal.  "  1  have  not,'' 
he  continued,  "anything  to  take  back 
and  am  ready  to  make  affidavit  to  what  I  have 
said.  I  would  like  to  have  the  company  or  the 
policy-holders  employ  a  lawyer  to  prepare  a 
case  against  these  men  and  make  them  sweat 
for  their  ill-gotten  gains.  I  don't  scare  a  cent's 
worth  oil  Mr.  Furber's  threats." 

Mr.  Bross  said  to  the  reporter  that  when  he 
first  reached  Hartford  he  was  inclined  to  judge 
as  favorably  as  he  could  of  Furber's  manage- 
ment, but  when  he  saw  Sherwood's  figures 
he  concluded  that  unless  Mr.  Furber  could 
show  that  he  had  not  stolen  $1,000,000  of  the 
funds,  Gov.  Hawley'sdeclaration  that,  compared 
with  the  way  the  .Charter  Oak  had  been  nm. 
the  Northampton  Bank  robbery  was  an  honest 
transaction  was  true  in  every  particular. 
He  had  seen  no  reason  to  change  his  opinion, 
and  thought  thai  if  Furber  had  any  facts 
or  figures  favorable  to  himself  to  produce  he 
should  publish  them.  As  for  the  threats  oi 
legai  proceedings  and  the  like,  the  committee 
were  reidy  to  meet  him  at  any  time.  If  Sher- 
wood's figures  were  incorrect,  Furber  should 
point  out  the  errors.  Furthermore,  if  the  tig 
nres  were  correct,  Furber  ought  to  be  made  to 
disgorge  and  be  sent  to  St£0^  Prison  for  life.     -

nois has  been  contemplated  since  1871,  and 
was  in  process  of^maturity  previous  to  the  death 
of  Bishop  Whitehouse.  No  particular  opposi- 
tion is  made  to  <he  division.  All  seemingly 
concede  that  it  is  desirable,  but  there  is 
a  diversity  of  sentiment  regarding  the  boimda- 
ries.  The  prospect  for  the  establishment  of  a 
diocese  of  which  Quincy  shall  be  the  See  city, 
appears  to  be  fair,  but  its  exact  lim- 
its are  still  to  be  determined.  The  com- 
mittee which  was  appointed  at  the  last 
diocesan  convention  wiU  report  favorably  upon 
the  division  of  the  present  <Uoc€se,  and  will  also 
f  &vM>  t:i>a  .oAiabli^hment  of  a  third  with  the  S«e 


city  at  Springfield.  It  is  too  early  yet  for  can- 
didates for  the  proposed  Bishopric?  to  present 
themselves,  and  no  one  has  yet  been  named  in 
connection  with  the  new  Sees.  Bishop  Mc- 
Laren will  have  the  selection  of  his  diocese,  and 
he  will  unquestionably  remain  in  Chicago. 


POLITICS  FORESWORN  FOREVER. 


THE  PBOSnSE  JIADE  BY  JOIIN  A.  JOYCE— AN 
INTERVIEW  WITH  THE  RELEASED  MEM- 
BER OP  THE  WHISKY  RINO. 

^eeUd  Divpatch  to  Ou  Jfew-York  Timet. 
Chicago,  HI.,  Aug.  15. — John  A.  Joyce, 
of  Missouri,  who  figured  conspicuously  in  the 
whisky  prosecutions,  and  has  just  emerged  from 
the  Jefferson  City  Prison  after  a  term  of  21 
months,  was  in  Chicago  to-day.  In  the  course 
of  a  long  conversation  he  said  that,  while 
just  out  of  prison,  he  was  not  wholly  out  of  the 
custody  of  the  law.  He  had  been  liberated  un- 
der a  decision  of  the  court  which  took  the 
ground  that  the  cumulative  sentences  were  il- 
legal. The  question  of  appeal  is  to  be  heard 
in  November,  before  Judge  Dillon,  at  Jefferson 
City,  Mo.  Joyce  was  certain  Judge  Dillon 
would  sustain  the  opinion  of  Judge  Krekel  on 
the  illegality  of  the  ctminlative  sentence. 
Joyce  says  he  is  bound  for  Colorado,  where  he 
wiJl  reside  and  devote  his  life  to  .literature. 
Regarding  his  trial  and  conviction,  he  said 
that  had  the  investigation  and  prosecution  of 
the  Whisky  Ring  been  entirely  in  the  interests 
of  truth  and  law  great  good  would  have  resulted 
therefrom.  He  was  always  ready  to  suffer  for 
any  sins  he  might  have .  committed,  but 
said  he,  **when  I  was  "  taken  up  as  a 
first-class  goat,  trotted  into  the  synaijogue. 
and  loaded  down  with  the  sins  of 
the  whole  jubilee,  I  think  common  sense  as  well 
as  equal  justice  will  say  that  I  have  been  pun- 
ished more  than  I  deser\-e."  He  says  that  all 
he  asks  now  is  that  the  wcrld  will  let  him  earn 
an  honest  living,  and  he  proposes  to  leave  poli- 
tics forever. 

THE  LABOR  QUESTION. 

Hazeltok,  Penn.,  Aug.  15.— This;  being 
the  day  for  hearing  the  report  conrerning  the 
conference  between  the  miners  and  operators, 
as  to  whether  the  12^  percent,  reduction  of 
June  1  would  be  restored,  a  delegate  meeting, 
representing  the  majority  of  the  collieries  of  this 
region,  wi-s  held  here  this  morning,  at  whifh 
it  was  res  lived  lo  quit  work  to-night.  The 
collieries  of  A.  Pardee  ifc  Co..  Hazelton  ;  G.  B. 
Lindemian  &  Co.,  Humboldt  ;  Pardee.  Sons  A: 
Co.,  Mount  Pleasant  ;  Calvin.  Pardee  ,&  Co., 
Hollywood,  and  Coxe  Brothers  <fe  Co.,  Cross 
Creek  and  Woodside.  wer.?  not  represented  at 
the  meeting.  This  partial  representation 
raises  the  question  as  to  whether  the 
strikers  will  allow  the  men  belonging  to 
collieries  not  represented  at  the  meeting  to  work 
if  they  wish  to  do  so.  The  operators  say  that 
with  coal  .celling  at  present  prices  it  will  he  im- 
possible for  them  to  increase  the  wages  of  the 
men,  but  are  willing  to  give  them  the  .id van tajre 
of  any  rise  in  the  market  that  may  take  place. 
They  also  express  a  determination  to  protect  all 
men  who  wish  to  work,  and  there  is  r onsider- 
uble  anxiety  to-night  as  co  the  resnit  of  any  at- 
tempt that  may  bo  made  tx)  work  at  any  of  the 
collieries  to-morrow. 

Washington,  Aug.  15. — Repesentatives  of 
the  United  Labor  League  of  America  state

senting the  different  white  trade  unions  of  the

tion of  the  trade  unions  of  the  District

of  10,  to  meet  a  committee  to  be  appointed  by 
the  Labor  League  of  the  District,  to  consolidate 
all  the  organizations  of  ihe  District  of  Cohiiu- 
bia  under  the  constitution  and  principles  of  the

Congress  of  Amalgamated  Labor  Unions,  to 
meet  in  Washington  during  the  coming  session 
of  Congress  to  petition  for  such  redress  as  they 
desire.  It  is  also  said  that  the  delegates  passed 
resolutions  favoring  the  restoration  of  impartial 
suffrage  in  the  District,  and  tho  repeal  ot"  tho 
Resumption  act  of  1K79. 

CuMBEKLAND,  Md..  Aug.  15.— Theuew  Central 
Coal  Company,  one  of  the  heaviest  shippers  in 
the  region,  resumed  work  lo  day  at  r>.>  cents, 
the  rate  demanded  by  the  stnkers.  Another 
company  will  resume  to-morrow  at  the  same 
rate. 

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  1,*^. — A  meeting  of 
railroad  managers  was  held  at  the  (4rand  Union 
Hotel  to  day.  After  a  brief  session  they  ad- 
journed until  noon  to-morrow.

SCULIEMANNS  DISCO  VERIES  SUP- 
PLEMENTED. 
Washington,  Atig.  In. — A  dispat-ch  has 
been  receelved  at  the  Department  of  Srate  from 
the  United  States  Minister  to  Greece,  concern- 
ing recent  important  discoveries  of  interesting 
and  valuable  ornaments  in  some  ancient  tombs 
near  Athens.  These  tombs  are  situated 
on  tho  side  of  a  small  hill  in  the  midst 
of  a  large  plain  near  tho  village  of 
Sparta,  on  which  is  the  southern  side  of  T^Iount 
Hymetlus.  about  two  hours'  drive  fmm  Athens. 
They  arc  hewn  out  of  the  rock,  which  when 
.fresh  can  be  cut  with  a  knife,  but  which 
hardens  when  expo.sed  to  the  air,  and  in  the  ar- 
rangement correspond  with  -the  remains  of  the 
ancient  tombs  of  Etruria.  The  appearance  and 
decorations  of  more  than  2,000  objects 
thus  far  recovered  exactly  resemble  those  dis- 
covered by  Dr.  Schliemann  at  SIycen»,  con- 
clusively proving  the  antiquity  of  the  latter. 
for  among  the  ornaments  discovered  near  Sparta 
are  some  which  are  pronounced  by 
M.  Dumont,  Director  of  the  French 
Archaeological  Institute  at  Athens,  as 
undoubtedly  of  Assyrian  origin.  The 
new  discoveries  are  mostly  of  glass  and 
ivory,  and  the  tombs  have  evidentlv  been  en- 
tered in  the  pa.st  and  despoiled  of  tlieir  solid 
gold  ornaments.  Much  interest  has  been  ex- 
cite among  the  various  archoeological  societies 
at  Athens  by  these  discoveries, 

A  TERRIFIC  THUNDER-STORM 
Ottawa,  Ontario,  Aug.  15.-:-A  terrific 
thunder-storm  visited  this  city  last  night.  A 
large  brick  building  was  struck  by  lightning,  a 
chimney  demolished,  portions  of  wall  torn 
away,  and  several  windows  knocked 
out.  Minor  damages  wero  sustained 
by  several  other  buildii  g^.  The  storm 
visited  Aylwyn  at  noon,  wheie  a  school-house 
was  struck  by  lightning,  knocking  out  all  the 
windows  and  shattering  beams.  The  black- 
board was  torn  from  the  wall  and  set  on  fire. 
The  wildest  confusion  prevailed  among  the 
children,  one  of  whom  was  knocked  senseless, 
and  several  rendered  unconscious  with  fear. 
Reports  from  the  whole  district  bring  accounts 
of  the  violence  of  the  storm,  with  manj*  narrow 
escapes  from  death.

C.    R.     DORR — SHORT     SPEECHES    BY  VA- 
RIOUS    GENTLEMEN— ENTHUSLASTIC     RE- 
CEPTION OF  PRESIDENT   HAYES. 
Spfciai  Dispatch  to  the  If  etc- York  Tfma, 

Bennington,  Vt.,  Aug.  15. — Everything 
was  propitious  for  to-day  except  the  weather, 
and  that,  was  bad.  Rain  fell  abundantly  last 
night.  This  morning  the  mountains  were 
heavy  with  mist  and  cloud,  threatening  more 
rain.  It  held  off  until  nearly  the  afternoon, 
only  sprinkling  and  drizzling  a  little,  until 
finally  the  downpour  became  such  as  to  make 
some  sort  of  shelter  very  desirable.  Notwith- 
standing this  drawback,  the  people  seemed  to 
enjoy  themselves.  It  is  a  holiday  crowd,  all 
through,  which  has  gathered  here.  Everybody 
appears  to  have  come  out  determined  to  have  a 
good  time  anyhow.  Centennial  celebrations  do 
not  occur  so  often  that  they  can  be  wasted,  and 
Vermont  farmers  are  not  the  sort  of  people 
who  would  be  likely  to  let  a  little  rain 
interfere  ^vith  their  enjoynent.  All  the 
town  and  the  camps  outside  of  it 
were  up  and  bustling  at  an  early  hour 
this  morning.  The  grand  military  procession 
was  to  march  down  from  the  camp,  and,  with 
bands  playing  and  banners  flying,  to  parade 
through  the  principal  streets  of  the  town. 
With  tolerable  pmnctuality  the  event  came  off. 
and  it  was  quite  an  impressive  affair.  There 
was  Chief  Marshal  Valentine  and  a  gorgeous 
mounted  staff ;  Gov.  Fairbanks  and  a 
staff  of  like  brilliancy  ;  the  President  of  the 
day,  ^Ir.  Edward  Phelps,  of  Burlington  ;  the 
orator  of  the  day,  Mr.  Roberts,  of  the  same 
place  ;  then  the  members  of  the  various  com- 
missions and  associations  which  have  had  a 
hand  in  getting  up  t"his  affair  ;  then  the  State 
officers,  the  State  Judiciary,  the  Senate  and  the 
House  of  Repre.sentiitives.  After  these  came 
all  tho  ex-Governors  of  Vermont  who  could  be 
gathered  together,  and  the  Governors  of  other 
States— Connor,  of  Maine,  Prescott,  of  New- 
Hampshire,  and  Van  Zandt,  of  Rhode  Island — 
each  with  their  respective  st.iffs,  all  in  gold  lace 
and  cockedhats.and  after  these  a  representation  of 
the  State  departments,  judiciary  and  legislative, 
of  New- Hampshire  as  full  as  that  of  Vermont 
itself.  This  was  because  Vermont  was  a  child 
of  New-Hampshire,  and  was  constituted  from 
the  territory  over  which  that  State  originally 
had  or  claimed  jurisdiction.  The  various  3Iili- 
tia  organizations  of  Vermont  and  New-Hamp- 
shire and  the  veteran  associations  filled  out 
the  line.  After  marching  through  the  several 
streets  according  to  the  programme,  the  pro- 
cession returned  to  the  cam^^-ground  and  broke 
up  at  the  pa\-ilion,  in  which  the  oration.s  were 
to  be  delivered.  All  the  distinguished  people 
took  the  seats  assigned  them  behind  the  sj^eak- 
er's  desk,  and  the  general  public  filled  up  the 
immense  space  around  it-  Jlr.  Phelps,  who  is  a 
gentleman  of  fine  presence  and  dignified  man- 
ner, did  the  honors  of  the  day  with  excellent 
effect,  introducing  each  speaker  very  happily. 
y,T.  Roberts'  oration  on  *•  The  Establishment 
of  Vermont  as  a  State"  was  well  delivered,  and 
listened  to  with  close  interest  throughout.  This 
was  succeeded  by  the  reading  of  Mrs.  Dorr's 
poem  by  Prof.  J.  W.  Churchill,  of  Andover. 
The  re.nding  was  magnificently  done,  and 
produced  a  deep  and  perceptible  im- 
pression on  the  audience.  Follow- 
ing the  delivery  of  this  came  the 
various  short  speeches  from  gentlemen  repre- 
senting the  other  New-England  States.  Gen. 
Hawley  spoke  for  Connecticut  with  his  u.^ual 
happy  effect,  putting  everybody  in  good  humor. 
Ex-Gov.  Harriman,  of  New-Hampshire,  went  up 
into  the  clouds  on  the  broad  wings  of  the  spread 
eagle.  Gen.  Banks,  of  Massachusetts,  began 
humorouslv  and  went  on  to  serious  topics. 
Gov.  Connor  spoke  for  Slaine.  Gov,  Van  Zandt 
for  Rhode  Island,  and  Mr.  Stevenson  spoke 
l)riefly  for  things  in  general  and  Vermont  in 
particular.  It  was  past  2  o'clock  when  the 
speaking  closed  and  the  audience  scattered. 

President  Hayes  was  put  down  on  the  pro- 
gramme to  be  upon  the  grounds  by  2  P.  M., 
but  there  was  delay  on  the  line  somewhere,  and 
he  did  not  reach  Bennington  till  nearly  4 
o'clock,  A  committee  had  met  him  at 
Troy.  Col.  Peck,  of  Gov.  Fairbanks' 
staff,  met  him  at  the  State  line, 
and  the  Governor  himself,  with  the 
members  of  the  Centennial  Commission,  gave 
him  a  formal  welcome  at  North  Bennington, 
five  miles  from  here.  When  the  Presidential 
train  arrived  here  the  military  and  the  crowd 
were  in  waiting  at  the  depot.  It  was  raining 
hard,  but  it  did  not  dampen  the  enthu- 
siasm of  the  people.  The  President  and 
party  took  carriages,  but  so  enthusiastic 
were  the  demonstrations  that  he  stood  up. 
bareheafled,  to  acknowledge  the  hearty  greet- 
ings by  repeated  bows.  All  along  the  route  this 
scene  was  repeated,  and  the  Piesident  must 
have  got  pretty  wet  before  he  arrived  at  the  end 
of  his  ride,  at  Rev.  Jlr.  Tibbitts'  house,  up 
on  the  hiU.  Owing  to  the  bad  weather  several 
changes  had  to  be  made  in  the  original  pro- 
gramme, and  one  of  them  was  the  omission  to 
come  on  to  the  camp  ground,  so  that  the  thou- 
sands of  people  who  had.  under  such  shelter  as 
they  could  get,  patiently  waited  there  for  the 
coming  of  the  procession  had  to  go  back 
to  town  disappointed.  The  people  who  ha<l 
braved  tho  rain  and  waited  along  the  streets  be- 
tween the  railroad  station  and  the  place  where 
the  President  was  to  stop,,  greeted  hini  with  ex- 
tr*  ordinary  heartiness,  such  as  could  not  fail  to 
be  pleasing  to  the  object  of 'their  demonstrations. 
The  procession  did  not  turn  aside  at  all,  but 
marched  by  the  most  direct  route  to  its  destin- 
ation. Torch-light  processions  and  various 
other  things  had  been  arranged  for  this  even- 
ing, but  the  rain  caused  the  postponement  of 
all  except  the  President's  public  reception.  This 
took  place  at  the  Walloomsac  House  at 
Bennington  Centre.  The  Centre,  as  it  is  usual- 
ly called,  is  the  original  village  upon  the  hill, 
and  is  a  mile  or  more  from  the  modem  Ben- 
nington, which  lies  in  the  valley  below. 
Tho  house  in  which  the  reception  is 
held  is  nearly  opposite  the  spot  on 
which  the  famous  old  Catamount  Tavern  stood, 
in  which  the  Council  of  Safety  used  to  hold  its 
meetings.  It  was  burned  two  or  three  years 
ago.  and  a  heap  of  half-calcined  stones  now 
marks  the  site.  Near  it  are  several  old 
brick  residences  and  the  ancient  meeting- 
house. Printed  notices  posted  along  the  street 
direct  the  visitor's  attention  to  the  spot  where 
the  old  pillory  stood  ;  another  where  the  whip- 
ping-post was  erected ;  another  where  the  hos- 
pital was  in  which  the  woi:nded  from  the  battle 
of  Bennington  lay,  and  another  where  the  dead 
were  buried. 

Every  house  in  the  Centre  is  illuminated  to- 
night, and  the  one  street  of  tho  place  is  jammed 
with  carriages  and  people.  Stages  have  been 
minninp-  fcH  the  eTQoiDS  fioiu  the  tAwn.  com*- 


ing  their  loads  of  passengers  ansions  to  shake 
hands  with  the  President.  It  is  no  exaggera- 
tion to  say  that  not  one-third  of 
the  crowd  will  have  that  pleaanre. 
The  stages  are  carrying  away  as 
many  as  they  bring.  One-half  of  these  people 
have  waited  and  waited  in  vain,  and  go  away  at 
last  unsatisfied.  All  will  have  a  chance,  h  ow- 
ever,  toseethePresidentto-morrow.  when  heat- 
teiids the  exercises  in  the  large  tentand  reviews 
the  troops.  It  is  estimated  that  from  35,000  to 
40,000  people  are  in  Bennington,  though  how 
they  got  here  is  something  of  a  marvel,  "for  tho 
railroad  accommodations  are  wretched,  and  the 
tciegraphic  facilities  about  the  same.

The  procession  moved  at  9:.'?0.  It  was  the 
most  iinposinjr  procession  ever  seen  in  Vermont, 
but  will  probably  be  eclipsed  by  that  to-morrow. 
It  was  over  three  miles  in  length,  numbered  at  a 
fair  estimete  40.000  people,  and  was  witnessed 
by  25.000  persons.  The  notic^^hle  parts  of 
the  proce.*«ion  were  the  creditable  marchinp  of 
the  First  Regiment,  N.  G.,  of  Vermont ;  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  Putnam  Phalanx,  com- 
posed of  elderly,  !>olid  men  of  Hartford,  and 
the  soldierly  appearance  of  the  New-Hampshire 
troops  and  the  Vermont  Veterans.  The.se  latter 
drew  cheer  after  cheer,  and  the  euihusiasm 
reached  its  climax  when  a  body  of  300,  with  a 
banner  inscribed  "'  Spunky  Lamoille  "  made  its 
appearance.  AVhen  the  Veterans  passed  the 
triumphal  arch  hearty  cheers  were  given. 
AVben  the  proces.'^ion  arrived  at  the  entrance  to 
the  Centennial  fields  it  divided  upon  entering, 
the  military  forming'  upon  the  right  of  the 
centre,  and  the  civilians  upon  the  left,  and  then 
halted  before  the  pavilion  tent  on  the  south  of 
both  lines.  The  Chief  Jfarshal  and  staff  then 
escorted  his  Excellency  Horace  Fairbanks.  Ver- 
mont's Centennial  Governor,  and  all  distin- 
guished guests  to  the  places  assi^ed  to  them. 
The  military  were  then  dismissed,  and  the  pro 
cession  broke  up. 


THE  ADDRESS  GF  WELCOME. 

Arrived  at  the  mammoth  pavilion  tent  on 
the  Centennial  fields,  an  address  of  welcome  was 
delivered  by  Hon.  E,  J.  PheJps.  of  Burlington, 
President  of  the  Vermont  Centennial  Commis- 
sion, as  follows : 

I  have  but  few  words  to  offer,  my  friends,  in  in- 
troducing the  services  appointed  for  this  occasion. 
The  State  of  Vermont  commemorates  to-day  the  one 
hundredth  anniversary  of  her  birtli,  the  termination 
— the  happy  and  prosperous  termination — of  the  first 
ceuttiry  of  her  existence  as  an  independent  State. 
To-morrow  we  shall  signalize  one  of  the  Important 
victories  of  the  Revolutionarj-  bottle-fields.  To-day 
is  devoted  to  those  other  victories  not  less  r«»- 
nown  ed  and  not  less  fruitful — ^the  Tictories  of 
peace.  To  a}\  who  have  assembled  here, 
whether  friends  or  strangers,  to  the  distinguished 
guests  that  grace  this  occasion  with  their  presence ; 
to  all  the  children  of  Vermont  who  from  near  and 
far,  fi-oni  manv  homes,  nave  gathered  to  honor  the 
Centennial  bii-thday  of  their  native  State,  I  am 
charged  on  her  behalf  to  extend  a  kindly,  a  cordial,  a 
general  welcome.  [Applause.  J  Ijarger  and  richer 
States  might  offer  you  more  splendid  hospitalities, 
more  imposing  ceremonies,  more  magnificent  dis- 
play :  ours  are  plaiu  and  simple,  such  as  befit  the 
habits  of  our  people  and  the  character  of  those  in- 
stitutions whose  origin  we  now  celebrate.  This  day 
is  consecrated  to  the  past,  all  the  history,  all  the 
memories  of  the  century  that  is  now  closing 
upon  our  commonwealth,  its  early  rtruigles 
its  Wdssitudes,  its  hopes,  its  fears,  its  steadfa-st 
march,  the  glory  of  Its  wars,  the  ftecurity  of  its  peace. 
Ail  those  are  upon  tis  to-dav,  and  are  the  appropriate 
topic  of  the  hour.  Especially  is  the  day  sacred  to  the 
memory  of  the  men  who  laid  broad  and  deep,  in  early 
days,  the  foundations  of  these  institutions  under 
which  we  live,  and  not  only  do  we  remember,  at  a 
time  like  this,  those  distinguished  leaders 
whose  names  are  as  household  words  among  us, 
but  not  the  less  do  we  honor  the  rank 
and  file  of  tho  whoJe  noble  generaticn  of  men  who 
all  the  davs  of  their  lives  and  throngh  all  the  avoca- 
tions of  their  lives  gave  to  the  service  and  welfare 
of  their  State  the  best  tliey  had.  Unnamed,  un- 
heralded for  the  most  part,  they  stand  out  against 
the  horiion  of  our  bistorj-  like  the  stately  trees 
at   ttm   DrixDeval   forest,   which,  like  Uum,  have 


passed  away.  [Applause,]  Without  their  Tirtn©, 
their  patriotism,  and  their  efforu  the  mast^T 
spirits  would  have  planned  and  toiled  ia 
vain  :  and  we  should  remember  that  if 
there  1%  anything  in  our  Institutions  that  is  worthy  of 
being  cherished,  if  there  is  anything  in  these  tjradi- 
tioQS  which  are  stmnger  than  onr  institnrion.^  and  on 
which  the  life  of  onr  institutions  depends,  it  is  not  our 
achievement,  it  is  our  InheritAnca  from  them.  [-Ap- 
plause. )  They  have  all  passed  away,  that  noh4e  rare. 
Some  of  their  immediate  descendants  are  here  among 
our  most  welcome  guests  to-day,  bnt  the  lasUipf  them 
has  long  ago  been  gathered  to  his  fatban.  Few 
monuments  mark  their  resting-piaoes.  Few 
vestiges  of  their  indtvidual  Itfe  remain, 
bnt  all  around  and  about  us  in  the  saJntJiry  lawf 
that  protect  liberty,  and  the  enlightened  liberty  that 
■uphold.*!  the  law  in  everything  that  i.s  comprehend''<: 
to  as  under  the  beloved  name  of  Vermont,  is  to  b« 
fonnd  their  monnmeut.  mor»  dur^le  than  marble, 
more  beautiful  than  gold  and  if  tbe  business  of  thia 
day  has  any  significance,  if  the  memories  we  are  hei* 
to  recall  have  any  \-alue  or  serve  to  point  any  snora^ 
it  is  in  teaching  us  that  if  we-would  preserve  the  ir< 
heritance  we  have  received,  we  must  perpetnat* 
likewise  in  otir  people  the  chararter  of  the  men  tcotn 
whom  we  received  it, 

•'  ni  fares  that  land,  to  hasltnlne  ills  «  prey. 
Where  wealth  accumalates  ana  man  decay." 
Bat  if    we  would  preserve  our  institutions.   w\ 
mtist  maintain  the  old  landmarks,  and  stand  fast  by 
the  old  traditions.     And    now.    as   w**   pause  on  th*» 
threshhold    of    the  coming    century  and  review  th** 
lives  and  characters  and  tho   labors  of  that  first  gen- 
eration  of    Vermonters.    let    us. take  t«  heart  as  th(9 
great  lesson  of  the  hour,  that  if  we  are  to  achieve  th»* 
salvation  of  our  Institutions  we  must  do  it  by  emu 
biting  their  virtues  and  by  imitating  their  example.. 
[Applause.  I 

DAXIEIi  ROBERTS'  ADDRESS. 

Mr.  Phelps  then  introduced  Mr.  Daniel 
Roberts  as  the  orator  of  the  day.  Mr.  Roberts 
said: 

So.vs  OF  Vermont— Mr  Bhothers:  Aronnd 
this,  her  ancient  hearth-stone,  our  mother  State  has 
called  her  children  together  to  ceiehrate  herhun- 
dr»Hith  birthday.  It  is  well.  The  call  stands  justi-  _ 
fled  liy  the  occasion,  and  the  placp  of  our  estherinc 
best  beiits  both.  -  -  ■  This  land  of  ours.  Whi**  , 
we  now  call  Vermont,  had  before  1T*K»  become  ex- 
tensively known  to  the  men  of  New-England  by  ex- 
ploration, the  visits  of  hunters  and  the  mune'rons 
military  expeditions,  which.  BtATting  from  the  hears 
of  New-England,  had.  for  suecessivH  veArs  during  tho 
French  and  English  war.  traversed  it.  The  cession 
of  Canada  to  Groat  Britain  and  the  conclusion 
of  peace  left  these  lands  opi»n  for  s^ettlo- 
ment.  nndisttn"he<l  by  further  terr«»rs  nf  Krencii 
and  Indian  inroads.  The  inducements  to  immigrAtiou 
and  settlement  here,  we  of  this  ago  should  ref!kou  txnx, 
inviting.  There  were  no  prajriesspread  out  in  readi-  ^ 
ne.<^  for  the  plow  :  no  open  j»a.sture'*  ready  pre pare-l 
for  sheep  and  oxen  ;  no  tropic  cliaiat«  atid  fniitjj  iu- 
Wting  to  rest  from  labor  and  to  «asy  fruition;  nor 
yet  fresh  discovered  gold-fields  :  bnt.  on  the  ccntnu^.-,

t'irlacirg  roots  the  tw>s:.:bIo  meadow,  pasture,  atrd

late  ai>d  early ;  long  Winters,  bound  in  i'-^ 
and  btuied  in  sno%v.  But  to  men  like  our 
grandsires,  trained  to  labor  and  hardship,  ili« 
sons  of  generattons  of  men  to  whose  a\*'A  the  sight 
of  trees  had  b»*en  a  constant  temptation,  there  us"; 
nothinc  in  climate  or  hav.-Mre  features  of  the  laiid  i'« 
deter  from  following  the  emigratint;  instinct  of  ths 
race.  Another  rfason  for  this  early  emigration,  pn- 
licularly  from  Massachusetts  and  Cont:»^ticut,  and 
which  prevaUe<i  to  aconsiderable  extent,  jvartook  of 
&  relipotis  character,  and  was  akin  to  that  which  im-  , 
pelled  their  ancestors,  the  Puritans  and  the  Pilgrims  . 
lo  leave  their  homes  in  Kncland  fortiiesakeof  found,,

who  fled  from  persecution  in  ihe  New-KngUnd  -Si^t''! 
and  found  an  asylum  iiere  where  they  enjoyed  their

Though  these  first  inunigrant.*;  were  mostly  farmers,

may  be  safely  said,  that  none  were  l>eLter  s-nit^  t>

State  of  Vermont  had  been  tmdersiood  to  he  ■wiiidn 
the  limits  and  jurisdiction  of  tho  Proviure  of  N  jw- 
Hampshire.  Upon  this  unu**rstajidine.  the  r'i^-al 
(Governor  of  tmit  Colony,  liennhig  ■  AVetitv.-.-%rth. 
had  granted  by  charter  in  i!'.^  Kings  icim'% 
about  130  townships  of  these  lands^  or 
ne.*>.rly  3,000.000  "acres.  in  shnr'^^i  f*  . 
.■;ome  ft.OOO  persons,  when  on  th^  COih  day  of 
-Tuly,  .1704.  without  notice  to  Th*>  settlors  and  plnin':-- 
against  their  wislies,  t!ie  Colonial  Gotemwient  r^f 
New-York  succeeded  in  obtaininc  frrtva  foe  King  in 
council  an  onier  declaring  thu*  west  bank  of  the  Con- 
necticnt  River  to  he  the  boundar>'  line  between  iha 
two  Provinces  of  New- Hampshire  ,^nd  New-TorU. 
thus  placing  the  settlers  upon  thoce  granis  and  tb'fir 
lands  under  the  jurisdiction  of  New- York.  Since  tne 
tiile  to  these  lands  was  originally  in  the  Kins  and 
the  King  had  granted  th^m.  the  question  of  rurhitul 
colonial     jurisdiction    hardly    seems    to    toucii    iha 

Question  of  legal  ritrht  to  the  lands  ;  u.^I 
oes  any  effect  of  the  order  establishiiig  tlit 
boundaiT,  snch  as  to  impair  by  retroaction  tho  Royal 
grants  already  made,  se^^m  lo  have  Oeen  intende-l'Ly 
the  home  Government.  But  the  New-York  Govern- 
ment gave  the  order  this  interpretation,  treating  it 
as  the^sanction  of  their  previous  claim  of  jurisdi'tlon 
and  right.  So  the  honest  settler  became  accustomnj. 
to  see  suiveving  parties  of  Yorkers  crossing  hi-s  oat - 
fields  and  circling  his  homestead  in  their  dclinear:er« 
of  manors  and  baronies,  and  to  receive  their  snlui  a- 
linU!>of  notice  to  qtiit.  .Strange  Slierilfs  appeared 
for  service  of  process  of  ejectment,  c.-ulim:  him  tc 
.\lbany  to  answer  to  the  plaint  of  some  sptculatr»r. 
<iisgui:>ed  under  the  name  of  John  r>->e.  who  pr»j- 
tended  to  have  bought  from  under  him  the  bun'e  he 
had  bought,  paid  for,  cleared,  and  tilled,  and  the  laouse 
which  sheltered  his  wife  and  babes.  If  ho  m:*  .do  :*  p 
pearance  in  answer  to  snch  summons,  he  foi.-ndthe 
court  in  suspicious  accord  with  the  rapacious  Gov 
emors  and  spectilatorr..  in  treating  hts  grant.,  uod'-r 
the  royal  seal  of  New-Hrtmpshire.  as  a  nullity.  The 
sltemativo  was  presented  to  every  grantee  ana  *.ettler 
ruder  a  New-Hampshire  charter,  to  give  up  iiis 
lands  and  home,  cr  buy  his  peace  on,  impossi- 
ble terms  of  nn  unsympathiiing  straast»i 
who  had  schemed  to  desi:>oil  him,  or  yei 
forcibly  to  resist  such  monstroi|ji  in  j  ust  fee. 
And  60  it  happened  tb.»t  when  Sheriff  Ten  Eyck.  on 
the  ISth  day  of  July.  1771,  with  his  posse  of  som* 
300  armed  men,  including  many  o;  the  gentrj-  oj 
Albany,  proceeded  in  martial  irray  to  Bennininon  to 
take  possession  by  process  in  ejectment  of  the  larm 
of  James  lironkenridge.  he  met  there  on  the  border* 
of  the  Walioemaac  a  gathering  of  the  settlers  ot 
"tlif  granw ''  prepared  for  resistance.  Benmngitm, 
in  town  meeting,  liad  voted  to  take  this  farm  tmd'-r 
their  i»r&tcction — .ind  it  was  protected.  Tho  Sheriff 
had  met  a  power  greater  than  the  power  of  the  *^an- 
ty,  who  sofvo-l  for  hha  the  prophetic  riddle  of  Ettan 
Allen,  that  "the  gods  of  the  \'alley  are  not  the  gods 
of  tho  hlil,"  and  'if  they  would  come  to  Beuiiiugton 
the  meaning  .should  h^a  xaade  clear."

hostility  to  the  acsrecsions  of  Greut  Britain,  and  de-

They  wore  tho  men  of  whom  Kui-goyne.  in  mortifica- 
tion at  his  disaster  at  Bennington,  and  oonseguent 
perplexity  of  Ms  aifaim,  wrote  to  the  BritL-dj  ilin- 
ister  in  London  :  "The  New-Hampshire  Grants,  iu 
particular,  a  county  unpeopled  in  the  last  war.  now 
abounds  in  the  most  active  and  rebellious  race  of  the 
continent,  and  hangs  like  a  gathering  storm  en  mr 
left." 

Twenty  days  after  the  Declaration  of  Independence 
at  Philadelphia,  there  a8semble<i  at  the  lun  of  CepUa< 
Kent,  in  Dorset,  delegates  from  31  towns  of  -the 
Grants."  who  entered  into  solemn  covenant  between 
themselves  by  formal  signatures,  recommending  that 
such  declaration  be  subscribed  "by  all  the  friends  of 
America  in  tlie  district,"  wherein  tbey  declare  :  "\Ve 
do  voluntarily  and  solemnly  engage. under  all  the  ties 
held  sacred  among  mankind,  at  the  risk  of  our  lives 
and  fortunes,  to  defend  by  arms  tho  Unit«d  American 
States  against  the  hostile  attempts  of  the  British 
fleets  and  armies,  until  the  present  unbappv  tn-ncro-

adjournment  at  the  same  place  in  September,  it 
was  unanimously  resolved  **  to  take  siutahle 
measures,  as  soon  as  may  be,  to  declare  the  New-

Ms^mblod  in  conrention  and  fnoned  a  ConstitatlciL 
(or  the  (>t4te  of  Vermont.  TbU  Constitntion  opens 
with  a  preamble  reciting  in  forcible  lansrnam  the 
rpascns  for  the  formation  of  "a  free  and  independ- 
ent State."  Thesu  recited  reasons  were  the  right  of 
the  people  "by  common  consent  to  change  their  gov- 
Mnment  whenever  it  fails  to  secure  the  ends  of  gov- 
emmentj  viz.,  the  secnrity  and  protection  of  the 
ronunnnity,  as  such,  and  the  natural  rights  of  the 
SndiridufUs  who  compose  It ;  the  'oppressions  of  the 
British  iTOvemment  toward  the  Colonies,  "more 
fnljy  set  forth  in  the  declaration  of  Congress;"  and 
the  worse  oppressiens  of  New-York  toward  the  set- 
tlers of  the  >«ew-Hamp?hlre  Grants.  » Tliis  preamble 
was  followed  by  "a  deelanttion  of  the  rights  of  the 
inhabitants  of  the  State  of  Vermont,"  and  a  nlan  or 
•     jCnune  of  govenimeut. 

It  was  while  the  draft  of  this  CQBStitntion  wvs 
nuder  mnsideration  that  the  alarmlii^  news  reached 
tho  convention  of  the  evacnation  by  our  troops  of 
fTiconderojia,  and  their  disastrous  retreat  throngh 
Hubbardtcn,  thns  lesTin;^  nil  our  western  border 
open  to  the  ravages  of  Burgoyne  with  his  Hessians 
and  tkavmges.  It  is  reported  that  the  tirst  impulse  of 
rhe  convention  was  to  sepamte  and  look  to  the  pro- 
lection  of  their  families  at  home,  when  "a  severe 
thunder-storm  came  on  and  gave  them  ttzne  to  re- 
tlect  ;'*  andeo  they  stayftd  till  their  work  was  fin- 
ished. Thus  Vermont  received  hor  christening  and 
hecame  a  State,  though,  for  a  time  after,  undier  the 
Bnnmaloas  administration  of  a  Council  of  Safety, 
and,  until  March  4,  1791,  14  years,  she  ex- 
isted as  an  independent  sovereignty,  frith 
bU  tho  attributes  and  functions  of  sov- 
•reignrv,  when  nhe  was  admitted  as  an  equal  memoer 
of  tfs**  Vederal  Union.  In  the  meantime,  the  Amorl- 
rrn  Revolution  had  been  closed  in  a  declared  peace. 
The  confederation  of  the  United  Staten  had  been 
formed  and  dissolved,  and  the  United  States  Consti- 
tution had  made  of  the  United  States  a  government. 
In  this  con^itruction  of  confederation  and  oonstitu- 
tifjn  W-nuont  had  not  been  allowed  t*  take  part,  but 
riiaing  all  those  1  -t  years  sho  had  stood  apart  among 
h-^r  mountains  in  stern  independency,  defending  her- 
f-fU'  afniinst  States  contending  for  her  lands  and  life, 
disowned  by  Cougress,  and  having  for  years  on  her 
>'•  -rders  the  common  enemy  to  fight  with  the  weapons 
»3d  the  finesse  of  war.  In  «11  this  she  did  her  work 
hiavely  and  well :  and  we  do  well  to-day  by  commem- 
oniting  these  labors  of  the  fathers  a  hundred  yeors 

This  Constitution  of  1777  was  more  than  a  declara- 
tion of  in^lepcnden^e  and  frame  of  government.  It 
Was  a  oliarter  of  human  liberty  also.  Thus  the  "  Do- 
fi.ir.'ition  of  the  Rights  of  the  Inhabitants  of  the 
folate  o[  Vermont  "  st.irts  off  with  the  broader declar- 
Rlion  "tiiat  nil  men  are  bom  equally  free  and  indc- 
>*rdrT!t.  and  have  certain  natural.  Inhervnt,  and  In- 
*-li<»uaM«  iTcnis.  nmong  which  are  the  enjoying  and 
f'^fendtuEt  life  and  liberty  ;  acquiring,  possessinc  and 
(.r-iiet^ting  propertr.  and  pursnin^  and  obtain- 
'.c£  happiness  and  safety.'  Therefore,  it  is  to 
(ii.<  the  lo*ic  leads:  "  no  male  person,  bom  in  this 
•f'untry  or  hrought  from  over  the  sea,  ought  to  be 
i'.oltian  by  the  law  to  serve  an%- person  as  a  ser%-ant, 
fUvc,  or  upprentice,  after  he  arrives  to  the  age  of  lil 
'^  years,  uor  female,  in  like  manne'r,  after  she  arrives 
ro  the  Hge  of  13  years,  unless  they  are  bound bythelr 
•■wn  crvti-ent  after  they  arrive  to  such  an  age."  This 
provision  of  the  Constitution  received  judicial  inter- 
pretation—clear enough  without  it — by  the  Supreme 
f>>i:rt  in  iJ^O'J— that  no  inhabitant  of  this  State  can 
hi'ld  a  slave,  and  that  by  becoming  an  inhabitant  his 
f'ave  bi-ouglit  from  another  Statue  becomes  free. 
(\Vinds.ir  versus  Jacob,  2  Tyler's  Reports,  19*2.)  The 
lii-l  of  sale  in  such  ca^e  to  bo  eftective  must,  acconl- 
:nj  to  ti.ctraditional  ruling  of  Judge  Theophilns  Har- 
r.Lgton,  be  under  the  hiind  and  seal  of  the  Almighty. 

If  wo  consider  the  part  taken  by  Vermonters  In  the 
^^Tkr?  w.^-.if  "■;  have  arist>u  .sine*.-  the  Rt>voIution,  it  may 
Ytf  clsiofd  of  them,  that  they  hava  not  disgraced  the

g^uvred  at  Bennington.  Thu-*.  Lnke  Chami»lain  and

GEN'.  nAWLEY  AND  OTHERS. 

Mr.  Phelps  then  introt-iueed  as  the  repre- 
F.!?nra'ive  of  Connecticut,  ei-Gov.  Joseph  R. 
ITawley.  of  Kurtford.  who  spoke  as  follows  : 

Mr.  iTirfirENT.  Ladie.".  aso  (>EKTi.EirE?f :  I  am 
iT.ore  afraid  than  I  siiouid  he.  I  foimd  myself  among 
liifr  'and  others"  for  a  few  brief  remrirks  to-day. 
and  her«  I  am  called  on  to  speak  in  the  presence  of 
the  still  lhril;irg  and  glorious  words  of  the  poem  and 
'•ration.  With  all  his  heart  he  would  say  a  good 
v.ojf.l  about  Vermont.  Ht*  felt  proud  that  Vermont 
■(■^nsrhe  child  of  Connecticut.  He  said  he  did  not  in 
any  respect  feel  he  was  a  stranger,  and  referred  to 
>.ev.  Mr-  Jennings  and  others  present,  whom  he  re- 
r'>g!.ized  as  trom  Connecticut.  He  congratulated 
t"»»ose  prf'^ont  and  joined  tb?m  in  thanking 
Cn  d  for  J  00  years  of  Vermont  hiRtoT>-.  He  spoke 
clowinv-ly  of  the  exploit  of  ti;e  S;i  men  in  capturing 
''"icor.dcrog:;*.  50  prisoners,  and  1  "JO  cannon,  the  first 
?;rie  Iho  iSritish  flatr  strur^k  to  the  young  Republic. 
3"h6  speaker  read  numerous  extracts  from  documents 
rertnit.iiv  l^  the  actions  of  the  old-time  patriots,  and 
:!i0  iui';;ineni  of  the  Entrlish  Oovemment  in  reg.-urd  to 
:hem.  He  Thought  Connecticut  men  must  have  iiad 
t  good  share  in  the  organization  of  the  Vermont 
novemui'-nt.  F:fty-fivo  tO'.vTis  in  this  State  are 
name^akoH  of  Connf  ctirnt  towns,  and  he  finds  a  sim- 
ilarity bef.ffecn  certain  nartsl  of  the  statute-books  of 
The  two  MmI<;8.  Ho  tnought  perhaps  Vermonters 
rftii  proposed  to  save  trouble  by  copying  some  of  the 
Connecticut  laws.  All  wished' for  Vermont  another 
iuadred  years  of  true  and  solid  prosperity. 

REMARKS   BY   EX-GOV,    HAERIMAJT. 

Gen.  Hawley  kept  the  large  amiience  in  the 
host  of  -pirits.  interspersing  frequent  sallies  of 
wit,  cf  which  tho  audience  showed  appreciation 
l-'V  heartr  applause.  Ex-ffov.  Harriman. .  of 
N'e'^r-Hutnpshiro.  wijo  was  next  introduced,  said 
he  wa»  glail  of  the  opportunity  to  respond  to 
the  honor  conferred  on  him  calling  upon  him  to 
f-peak  for  the  tf  tate  of  New-Hampshire.  He  felt 
1  hat  he  was  standing  upon  ground  eacred  in  the 
»  rr.al?  of  t  be  State's  history ;  on  the  ground  where 
those  patriots.  Seth  Warner,  Ethan  Allen,  and 
Itfmeniber  Baker  had  fought  so  gallantly.  The 
>ratc  for  wliich  he  waa  speaking  was  one  of  the 
?riginal  13,  whose  hills  had  glared  with  the 
;>eacon  fires  and  whoso  valleys  had  re-echoed 
with  songs  of  liberty.  A  State  wnioh  produced 
rach  men  as  Stark.  Langdon,  Sullivan,  and 
McEirov.  He  would  have  it  remembered 
:hat  at  bunker  Hill  Xew-Hampsbire  furnished 
more  than  l.OOO  men.  or  two-thirds  of 
."ho  total  number  of  colonists  there.  New- 
Ham  p'hiro  was  also  well  repreflen  ted  at  Ben- 
nington. Daniel  Webster  never  said  that 
N'uw-Hampshire  was  a  good  place  to  emigrate 
from.  It  was  a  libel  on  his  fair  name.  No 
New- Hampshire  man  need  ever  blush  that  he 
was  of  that  State.  Ou  the  contrary,  he  may  re- 
call with  pride  the  illustrious  proofs  of  the  ar- 
dent patriotism  of  his  ancestors. 

AN  ADDBESS  BY  GEN.  BANKS.  " 

Gcn.X.P.Banks,onbelngintroduced,eTpressed 
bLs  regrets  that  the  sickness  of  the  chief  magis- 
trate of  the  State  of  Massachusetts  prevented ." 
h is  appearance  for  the  Bay  State-  He  had  so: 
i:iach  eloquence,  and  such  an  admirable  and 
poetic  address,  that  the  remarks  he  should 
make  would  form  a  sort  of  background  for  the 
ilhistration  of  those  other  and  more  interesting 
literary  purfcrmances.  They  hadheard  tho  gen- 
tleman from  Connecticut  who  thought  Connecti- 
ci:t  was  a  fine  State.  He'  shotild  judge  that 
every  Connecticut  man  that  came  there,  from 
vl:it  he  had  hoard,  must  have  found  an  office. 
!-e\r Hampshire  is  a  fine  State,  and  the  people 
are  a  tine  p*<»ple,  whether  or  not  it  was  a  pood 
Mate  to  emigrate  from.  He  did  not  think  from 
^cbat  ho  had  heard  that  Vermont  would  have 
had  very  much  love  for  herself  if  New-Hamp- 
fhire  coiild  have  had  her  way.  Massachu- 
setts bad,  in  tho  early  history  of  Vermont, 
t  .ikon  tlio  part  of  tho  Green  Mountain 
boys  in  their  sorrows  and  troubles.  He  was 
not  voiT  much  learned  in  the  facts  of  that  por- 
tion of  hi^torv.  but  ho  did  not  think  that  upon 
the  rosier  of  Vermont  could  be  found  a  Rreat 
number  of  Massachusetts,  men.  Ho  did  not  be- 
lieve tliat  Massachusetts  had  ever  claimed 
ijny  portion  of  the  Vermont  territory. 
N'overthf'less,  Ma.«sachusett3  had  a  good  name. 
ItK  people  are  pood.  And  he  was  not  at  all  sur- 
3ri>e'l  when  he  arrived  at  Bennington  this 
■uoi-ning-  to  see  so  good  looking  men  and  women. 
-  f  there  were  no  bad  citizens  among  them,  or 
2one  who  need  reclamation,  all  that  is  neces- 
larv  would  be  to  name  them  to  Vpnm>ntwomen, 
»nd  all  would  be  right.  New- York  is  a  fine  State — 
%  vury  Hue  State.  The  honorable  President 
of  the'  day  and  the  learned  and  eloquent  Secre- 
tary of  State  would  perhaps  excuse  his  saying 
Tbat^  But  he  rememberea  when  Vermont  was 
FtrugglinK  for  admis-sion  into  the  union  of 
btate^.  Xew-York  would  not  allow  her  to  come 
In  unlefjri  she  would  give  her  a  large 
portion  of  territory.  He  had  alwiw-s 
ihought  that  it  was  the  concession  of 
t.*rritory  wrung  bv  New-York  from  the 
State  "  and  people'  of  Vermont  which 
laid  the  foundation  of  the  raagnillcent  prosper- 
ity of  the  State  of  New- York.  The  occasion 
was  one  that  called  for  something  more  than 
mere  hi.<orical  reminiacences.  It  had  been 
commented  upon  by  eloquent  speakers  in  words 
that  will  be  a  text-b'ook  of  those  who  come  after 
js.  either  here  or  elsewhere.  We  must  remem- 
■«*r  that  the  lesson  of  this  day  is  to  continue  the 
•xample  set  before  ua  by  those  who  are  departed. 
liibrrty  that  had  been  purchased  by  the  blood 
)t  American  heroe.".  and  cultured  and 
pro^erA-ed  by  Ameri-ran  'statesmen  is  liberty 
tjiu:  came  hero  to  stay,  and  as  long  as  men  and 
ct  omen  of  the  original  stock  hold  possession  of 
tho  Qovernment  it  wjll  stay  and  te  maintained 
in  Its  perfection. 

Gen.  Banks  then  referred  to  the  letten  of 


the  Tights  of  man  who  .battled  for 
liberty  a^lnst  Parliament,  who  bearded  the 
King  in  his  palace,  and  spoke  words  of  fire  that 
will  Uto  forever  ;  whose  love  of  liberty  caused 
him  to  dedicate  his  letters  to  the  people — men 
and  women  of  Groat  Britain.  He  says  to 
them,  '*  The  fee  «lmple  of  country  and 
Government  is  ours,"  and  that  was  all  the 
founders  of  American  Government  said  at  the 
eoxnmencement.  "  The  fee  simple.  &e.,  is 
ours ;  this  country,  with  its  atmosphere,  its 
wealth,  and  power,  in  fee  simple  is 
ours,  and  God  giving  us  the  strength 
and  capacity,  we  wUl  maintain  It." 
I  have  repeated  what  will  preserve 
this  liberty  that  distinguishes  our  country  ;  it  is 
truth  ;  it  is  the  truth  that  makes  men  free. 
Nothing  but  this  will  make  us  so  "^  is 
th  at  which  nerved  our  f atiiers — ^patriots, 
statesmen,  heroes,  whose  grand  acta 
we  have  met  here  to  celebrate. 
Nothing  but  truth  gave  to  themi  the  victory, 
and  in  regard  to  the  machinery  of  the  Govern- 
ment the  same  thing  is  true.  The  local  ma- 
chinery is  to  be  preserved.  We  should  cling  to 
it  with  the  greatest  tenacity.  He  had  nothing 
further  to  say  for  Massachusetts  other  than  to 
*'  wish  them,  Vermonters,  God  speed  and  pros- 
perity, and  all  power  and  strength  in  the  gteat 
work  that  is  for  them."

The  infant  nation  and  the  Infant  State  I 

Rough  nur>e.s  were  the  centuries,  that  mocked 

At  mother  itis'ses,  and  for  mother  arms 

Gave  their  yonoic  nnrslings  sudden  harsh  alanaB, 

<,inick  blowK,  and  stt-m  rebufFn.     They  bode  them  wait 

Often  in  cold  and  hunger,  while  the  feast 

Wn-*  spread  for  others,  and.  thouirh  last  not  least.

Thus  fared  the  nation— proBperons,  great,  and  free, 
Prophet  and  herald  of  the  good  to  be  : 
Apfi  on  Its  humbler  wav.  In  calm  content. 
The  leswr  State,  the  wMle,  eerenely  went. 
.Safe  In  her  mountain  fastnesses  she  dwelt, 
Hf r  life's  first  cares  forgot,  its  wncs  unfclt. 
And  thought  hvT  bitterest  tears  had  ail  been  shed. 
For  peace  was  in  her  borders,  and  God  rcljjued  overhead. 
Bnt  suddenly  over  the  hilU  there  came 
A  cry  that  rent  hT  with  grief  and  shame — 
A  cry  from  tho  nation  in  yore  di'itrc^s, 
Stri.-fcen  down  in  the  pride  of  it*  rainhtiness  I 
With  I'assitinate  anlor  up  she  sprang. 
And  ht-r  voice  like  the  peal  of  a  trumpet  rang. —

PROF.  BAETLETT'S  ORATION. 

Benxington",  Vt.,  Aug.  15. — The  follow- 
ing is  Prof.  S.  C.  Bartlett'fl  address,  to  be  deliv- 
ered to-ffiorrow,  Bennington  battle  day,  being 
the  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  that  event : 

IVom  the  top  of  Mount  Anthony  the  eye  looks  out 
on  a  panorama  of  singrulur  extent  and  beauty. 
^^eestward  the  Adiroudacks,  diui  with  the  dis- 
tance of  100  miles  or  more,  tho  Helderbergs 
and  Catskilla  to  the  south ;  OreylocJc.  Saddle,  and 
Bald,  the  long  Green  Mountriu  wall  on  the  east,  and 
Keilington  Veak,  UO  milts  away  to  the  north,  outline 
a  vast  amphitheatre  ot'  hill  and  vale,  of  fertile  fields 
and  irraeeful  forests,  dotted  with  thrifty 
villages  and  happy  homes.  h^team  pu^ 
up  in  sight  fr*m  half  a  dozen  railway  lines, 
and  tliere  are  ffllmpses  of  the  Hoosoc 
and  Walloomscolk.  Dordered  with  m an nf arteries  : 
nestled  invisibly  away  are  schools  and  banks,  and 
printing  presses  ;  here  a  vsne  uud  there  a  collese. 
As  the  day  decrmes  silver  .streamlets  come  glinting 
forth  with  reflected  eimbeoms  from  the  broad  ex- 
panse of  rich  farminsc  la"nds.  A  near  fountain 
spreads  its  lofty  spray  upon  tiie  air,  aud  at  lenj^ 
there  settles  down  over  tho  whole  landscape  that 
niellow,  •  low  and  dreamy  hue  which  makes  it 
seem  of  sfeme  other  world.  But  this  is  no  dream- 
hind  vision :  these  things  all  lie  on  the  soil  of  tliese 
soverei^  States,  and  tney  are  the  substantial  tokens 
of  Industry,  culture,  peace,  aud  prosperlty^the 
ripest  fruits  of  -epublican  liberty. 

On  a  bright  morning  lOO  years  aco  to-day  a  Ger- 
man officer,  on  an  eminence  ttve  miles  from  here, 
looked  forth  a*lmlrliigly  on  a  part  of  this  same  land- 
scape— then  ripe  with  pastoral  beauty,  a  wider  sweep 
of  stately  forests  interrupted  at  remote  inten'als  by 
green  meadows  and  fertile  corn-fields,  with  here  and 
there  a  cottape,  shed,  or  other  primitive  edifice,  and 
Bennington  was  a  "cluster  of  poor  cottages  in  a  wild 
coimtry.*'  Around  him  was  a  well-appointed  military 
band,  glittering  with  arms,  some  of  the  men  in  brass 
Ijelmets,  some  in  red  coats,  some  in  citizens' garb,  and 
dusky  forms  in  war  paint  hung  upon  the  outskirts. 
Two  miles  this  side  of  him,  hidden  from  his  sistht, 
was  another  band,  ■  ill-anued  and  mtsceUan- 
eously  clad.  largely  in  cloth  of  tow  or 
linen,  dyed  with  butternut  or  maple, 
aud  too  deeply  absorbed  in  their  daybreak  prepara- 
tions to  spend  one  tliought  upon  the  glorj-  of  earth  or 
sky.  The  early  days  of  Augtist  1777  were  the  cul- 
mmating  time  of  f^ioom  and  alarm.  For  more  than 
12  months  the  tide  of  our  prospects  had  steadily 
ebbed,  till  shoals  and  reefs  were  plainly  In  sight.  In. 
the  opening  of  our  great  conflict  the  first  clash 
of  our  arms  had  carried  all  before  it.  The 
British.  Army  and  its  favorite  Generals, 
Gage,  Howe,'  Clinton,  and  Burgoyne,  were 
penned  up  in  Boston  with  bitter  memories 
of  L«zington  and  Concord,  then  driven  forth  to  find 
shelter  in  Halifax.  Lord  i>unmore  was  expelled  from 
Norfolk,  and  took  refuge  on  his  fleet.  Tieonderoga, 
Crown  Point.  St.  JohJis,  and  Montreal  bad  been 
taken  In  rapid  succession,  and  Quebec  alone  had 
escaped.  From  Canada,  to  Virginia  we  had  made  a 
clean  sweep.  But  a  change  c&me  just  before  our 
Independence  was  declared.  The  last  of  onr  troope 
were  driven  out  of  Canada,  In  the  strong  but  true 
language  of  the  day.  ' '  disgraced,  defeated,  discon- 
tented, dispirited,  diseased,  and  tmiSaclpllned."

IItcb.  way  to  the  tn^  Ka9  vtralm  of  a  protracted  war. 
Often  destitute  of  tenta,  bluiketj  and  medicines, 
good  clotlting '  and  wholesome  foci  j  short  of  arms 
and  amainnittoin ;  fritho^t  money  or  credit ;  I 
might  sar  long,  wl^ont  an  army,  for  "bj  short  en- 
lls^enta  onr  troops  -  contioually  melted  away,  some- 
times in  the  presence  of  the  foe.  And  even  short 
enliertments  we;fe  growing  difllcui^,  for  in  those 
sparse,  new,  and  poor  settleraeiits  how  could 
men  be  spared  from  their  homes.  Tho  camp,  too, 
was  as  fatal  as  the  battle-field.  It  was  invaded  bv 
camp-fever  and  dysentery,  and  steadily  beleaguered 
by  small-pox.  At  one  time  in  **  '76,  Schuyler  in 
three  months  lost  half  of  his  10,000  men 
by  death  and  desertion,  and  two-flftha 
of  the  remainder  were  on  the  sick  list. 
I  may  not  weary  you  with  the  long  recital.  Enougb 
that  when  «  State  Militia  enrollment  extended  from 
the  age  of  16  up  to  50,  and  had  an  alairn  Ust  to  65, 
and  when  at  length  orders  were  given  to  draft  one- 
half  eves  of  that  alarm  list,  we  may  he  sure  that  the 
strain  had  reached  her  vital  forces.  The  outlook 
also  in  these  earlier  months  of  the  rear  waa 
f orbiddin  g  and  fearful.  "  ■*  *  1 1  is  useless 
to  extol  Burgoyne  greatly  as  a  commander. 
He  did  three  things  that  are  not  done  by 
great  commanders.  He  needlessly  xinderrated  his 
eneiby ;  he  lost  his  best  opportunity,  and,  in  his  last 
resort,  he  declined  the  responsibility  which  would 
have  given  up  an  expedition  and  saved  an  army. 
Give  h  im  credl  t  for  a  good  plan,  but  an- 
other man  should  have  executed  that  plan. 
That  man  was  Sir  Guy  Carleton,  during  his 
last  years  Commander  and  Governor  of  Canada. 
Bnrcroyne  was  in  Montreal  a  full   month  before  he 


applied  for  means  of  transport,  and  the  Inadeqtiacy 
of  bis  supply  at  the  last  was  the  chief  cause  of  his 
disaster.     His  body  of  troops,  though  smaller  than 


he  asked,  was  a  splendid  anny  corps.  (BurKO)Tiehad 
asked  for  8,000  regtdar  troops,  excltisivo  of  artillery. 
2.000  Canadians  to  net  as  escorts  and  working  par- 
ties, nnd  l.OOO  Indians,  besides  a  large  ntimber  of 
provincisls  for  transport  duties.)  He  reports  his 
actual  force  7, 2.51. regulars,  141  Canadian  Jhlitia,  and 
503  Indiana.  This  was  exclusive  of  511  artillery- 
men and  an  ^accession  of  Tories  from  the  States. 
For  an  array  of  its  size  no  finer  hodv  could  have 
been  set  down  on  this  contment.  The  General 
knew,  or  ought  to  have  known,  his  foe. 
But  he .  only  imposed  on  himself  when  he 
proclaimed  to  the  array  th.it  the  enemy  were 
■'  inrtnitely  inferior  to  the  King's  troops  in  open 
space  aud  hardy  combat."  Events  made  it  even  ludi- 
crous in  him  to  announce  th.at  they  relied  only  on 
"  intrenchraenta  and  rifle-pits,  and  it  will  be  our 
gloryand  preservation  tn  storm,"  and  it  was  still 
graver  folly  to  threaten  that  enemy  with  "devasta- 
tion, famine,  and  every  concomitant  horror,"  for  he 
only  exasperated  when  he  soueht  lo  terrify. 
•  '•  *  ilea  called  Tieonderoga  the  "  Key  of 
Xorth  America."  Schtiyler  had  written  to  New- 
Hampshire  that  the  "loss  of  it  would  be  dreadful, 
if  not  altogether  fatal  to  the  liberties  of  the  coun- 
try." W.i.-.hington  said  the  conseouences  would  be 
"  Irreporable."  Meanwhile  the  public  mind  was  fe- 
verish witV  excitement  and  the  air  tiiick  with 
alarms.  The  enemy  had  entered  Kewport  and 
headed  for  Rrovidence.  They  had  landed  at 
Fnirfleld  :  had  destroyed  Danbury  ;  were  expected  at 
Rye.  Ei'jhteen  ships  were  seen  above  Peekskill. 
Carleton  s  boats  were  said  to  he  at  Spht  Rock.  40 
miles  from  Tieonderoga.  The  New- Hampshire  Com- 
mittee of  Saf«^ty  recommended  all  persons  capable  of 
bearinjT  ami««  constantly  to  carry  them  to  public 
worship,  and  oil  places  where  bufinesa 
shonld  lead  tliem,  saying,  '*  We  '  know 
not  tho  day.  nor  the  hour  "  nf  an  attack  on  the 
borders,"  and  we  must  "stop  those  infernal  traitors 
among  ourselves."  t)n  the  1st  of  July  a  line  of  50 
pitu-boat.«i  and  two  frigates  hove  in  sisht  of  Tieon- 
deroga. stretching  across  the  lake  from  east  to  west. 
Tho  garrison  declared  themselves  ready  for  the 
"  Moody  fray,"  and  Parson  Alien  was-  willing  to 
"  leave  tl'.is  body  of  bis  a  corpse  on  the  spot."  On 
the  morning  of  the  5tli'  they  were  amazed 
to  see  a  body  of  red  coats  plantine  a  battery 
on  Mcunt  Defiance,  commanding  wery  comer 
of  their  fortress.  That  nisbt  came  the  onler  to 
evacuate.  It  wa*  received  in  the  fortress  literally 
with  cunses  and  with  tears,  and  a  cry  of  execra*ijn 
and  lament  swept  through  the  country.  "  Such  a  re- 
treat." wrote  one  of  the  garrison.  "  was  never  heard 
of  since  the  creation  of  the  world."  Men 
talked  of  treachery.  **  We  never  sliall  hold  a 
post,"  said  stout  John  Adams,  "tmtll  we  shoot  a 
<_»eneml."  Burgoyne  wrote  home:  "Th©  rebels 
have  no  men  of  military  Bclence."  King  (>eorge 
rushed  into  the  Queen's  apartments  shouting:  "I 
have  beaten  them :  I  have  beaten  all  the  Americana !" 
and  he  talked  of  the  Ribbon  of  Bath  for  his  General. 
Bt7,n  Woodward  wrote  from  Hanover  at  midnight : 
"  For  (iod  s  sake  come  without  delay."  But  George 
hnd  not  beaten  all  the  Americans,  and  Burgoyne  md 
not  eaiTi  tlie  red  ribinin.  There  were  then  on  these 
Xew-Ila  mush  ire  grantfi,  in  the  words  of  Congress, 
■■tho.He  called  Green  Mountain  Boys."  and  they  were 
not  ready  to  resign  their  homesteads  after  stniggles 
of  a  do7.eu  years. 

It  was  then,  when  there  waa  no  money  in  the 
Treasury  and  no  light  ahead,  thut  up  rose  John 
Langdon  ia  his  place  In  the  Xew-Uampshire  Legis- 
lature, tenderinc  his  money,  his  merchandise,  and 
his  plate.  "  If  we  gain  our  independ- 
ence I  shall  be  repaid  ;  if  not.  what 
ir.ntters  mv  property."  The  Logi.-lature 
adjourned  on  Saturday  nijiht.  All  that  night  and 
the  next  day  an  American  was  riding  from  K.toter  to 
Coucord.  Sunday  afternoon  he  dismotinted  at  the 
clmrch  door  and  w"alked  up  the  aisle.  The  minister 
.stopped  and  said,  "  Capt.  liutchin.'i,  aru  you 
tiio  bearer  of  a  message  J "  "  Ws ;  Bnr- 
uovne  is  on  his  march  to  Albany.  Stark 
will  command  the  Xew- Hampshire  men,  and  if  we  all 
turn  out  we  can  cut  him  off."  "My  hearers!"  stid 
Rev.  Timothy  Walker,  "vou  who  are  ready  to  go, 
better  leave  at  once."  All  the  men  loft  the  house; 
but  Phineas  Virgier  had  no  .shoes.  "You  shall  have 
a  pair."  .said  Samuel.  Thompson,  the  shoemaker, 
"  tefore  to-morrow  morning." 

Stark's  name  was  a  tower  of  strength  in  Xew- 
Hampshire,  and  his  oflicers  and  men  were  In  great 
measure  select  citlienH,  owuersof  soil,  good  men  and 
true.  The  Uricade  <'fcnT>liiin,  Mr.  Hubbard,  was  a 
craduate  in  the  second  cla«s  of  Dartmouth  College. 
A  future  Governor  and  Chief -.lust  ice  of  State.  Jere- 
miah i^^mith,  had  his  Ktm-s*ock  broken  and  fa'-c  grazed 
by  a  mu>ket  ball  at  Bennia..'ton.  The  nu-nibers  of 
•■■everal  companies  were  neiclilHirs,  friend'*,  and  rela- 
tions. From  tlie  little  town  of  Salisbnrj-.  X.  H..  Vith 
only  lOi)  ratable  f^oUs.  -lU  were  in  the  contlict.  Thuir 
.Captain  was  the  father  of  l>ar.iel  Webster. 
MassBchosetts  sent  law>'eTa,  physicians,  and  a  Judge 
and  lighting  parson.  It  wns  the  be.st  blood  of  these 
States  that  ilowed  here.  While  this  commotion  was 
fermenting  in  the  States  Burgoyne  wan  happy 
and  eo.'v.  lie  was  orlenng  a  /tfu-de-jote 
in  honor  of  his  victory  on  the  very 
day  on  which  Schuyler  was  declining  to  fttmish  a 
soldier  or  n  musket  to  defend  Vennont.  Instead  of 
pushing  on  by  Lake  George  and  the  old  road  he 
halted  at  Whitehall,  while  his  troops  cut  their  way 
through  a  dense  forest,  made  40  bridges  in  16  miles, 
and  two  miles  of  log-work  over  one  morass.  Five 
(Lnys  after  he  was  notified  of  bis  appointment 
ho  appeared  in  Charlestown.  In  acvance  of 
his  instructions  he  was  forwarding  troops  to 
Vermont  awaiting  the  enemy  and  looking  np  his  sup- 
plies. It  would  be  amusing  were  it  not  distressing  to 
read  of  his  difficulties.  But  he  makes  no  apologies 
or  complaints,  ho  utters  no  doubts  or  fears.  As  fast 
as  his  men  come  in  by  squads  he  send.^  them  along. 
Just  as  soon  as  tho  buUct.s  were  run 
Stark  and  his  men  went  off  at  the  enemy. 
When  all  this  stir  aroimd  Connecticut  Iiad  reached 
its  height,  tilings  were  beginning  to  move  on  the 
Hudson  like  the  opening  of  some  tragic  romance. 
The  British  General  hail  bored  his  way  doggedly 
throngh  forest  and  swamp  and  creek.  Ho  looked 
anxiously  down  the  river  for  itomo  trace  of  Howe, 
but  no  tidings  came.  Ten  messengers  had  gone  by 
different  routes,  but  never  one  had  gone  through. 
It  would  seem  from  Burgoyne's  precautions  and  de- 
lay that  he  shrank  from  the  expedition  to  Benning- 
ton. But  he  waa  nearly  out  of  provisions,  and  ho 
knew  that  here  was  a  great  deposit  of  corn,  flour, 
and  cattle,  guarded  only  bv  Militia.  Necessity  knew 
no  law,  lo  he  chose  "tho  best"  of  his  Ger- 
man troops  and  "the  select  light  corps 
of  the  British  Army,"  imd  sent  them 
on  their  perilous  venture,  and  with  a  strangely 
gratuitous  folly  he  added  to  "the  seizures  of  sup- 
plies," a  "lc::g  circuit  by  Rockincham  and  Brattle- 
boro,  rotmd  to  Albany."  It  Ls  supposed, 
however,  by  sume  that  his  written  orders 
were  greatly  modified  by  oral  instructions. 
Tlie  raoruim;  of  the  IGtli  opened  in  absolute  beauty, 
with  not  H  cloud,  not  a  stirring  leaf.  Rnin-drons  glit- 
tered like  diamonds  in  the  trees.  The  river  rolled  along 
swollen  and  tumultuous.  For  hours  not  an  enemy 
had  been  seen  or  even  heard  of;  but  it  was  tlie  hush 
of  a  crou^'hing  catamouut.  Scarcely  were  the  haver- 
iMcks  shmg  and  the  muskets  piled  when  the 
men  were  recalled  in  all  hiuite  to  the  ranks. 
The  same  officer,  Glick,  looking  out  from  the 
zigzag  breastworks  on  the  hill,  saw  tho  outposts  re- 
tiring and  the  pickets  witlidrawing,  and  a  strange 
body  of  men  hurrying  from  the  thicket  behind. 
Suddenly  Glick  beard  a  trampling  behind  in  the  for- 
est on  the  right.  It  was  Herrick  and  his  rangers 
in  their  uniform  of  green.  Then  came  a  short 
aud  a  rattl  Ing  Are  in  the  rear  on  tho  left. 
It  was  Nichols,  of  Amherst,  giving  a  signal 
to  begin,  ^scarcely  had  tho  sound  of  the  first  fire 
died  when  the  Indians  broke  and  fled.  A  cohtmn 
pushes  forward  on  a  long  breastwork  this 
Rido  the  river.  It  is  iitiekuey  aud  Ht>- 
bart.  and  for  a  bad^e  every  man  has  a 
eom-husk  tn  bSs  bat.  At  a  signal  the  main  body 
moved  up  in  front  and  the  battle  raged  on  every  side. 
Tlie  tones  fled,  and  as  they  cliral>ed  the  Blippery 
steps  behind  them,  they  went  rolling  down  beneath 
the  shots  of  oar  marksmen.  For  two  hours — from  3  to 
5  o'clock— the  firo  was  one  continuous  roar,  and  those 
death-dealing  columns  closed  in  nearer  and  nearer. 
The  ammunition  cart  exploded  within  the  intrench- 
ment,  nnd  at  the  sound  our  men  rtuihed  up,  scaled 
the  breaKtworka,  and  leaped  down  within. 
Then  came  a  terrible  clashing  of  sword  ■  and 
gun-stock  and  bayonet.  Gigantic  John  McNeil 
strikes  down  four  Hessians  with  the  butt  of  his  gun 
iu  five  minutes.  Twenty  men  broke  through  to  the 
forest;  the  rest  were  all  prisoners  or  dead  or  dying. 
Thev  fought  gallautiy,  and  their  leader  died  a  sol- 
dier^s  death. 

From  this  point  the  orator  described  various 
phases  of  the  defeat  of  Baum  and  Breyman,  and  its 
Learing  upon  the  future  independence  of  the  Ameri- 
can nation,  and  its  effect  upon  the  country  at  largo 
at  thnt  period. 

In  conclu-sion,  he  said  ;  But  Bennington  teaches, 
too,  that  the  foreigiier  must  come  here  to  enjoy,  and 
not  to  destroy,  our  institutions,  as  a  law-abiding  citi- 
zen ;  never  as  a  lawless  iuvader.  He  must  nut  mistake 
the  home  of  freedom  for  a  land  of  licenses  nor  think 
when  he  has  escaped  the  terror  of  tho  gendarmes 
abroad  he  may  inaugurate  a  reign  of  terror 
here.  The  communixta,  who  btumed  down  the 
Tnilories  and  the  Hotel  de  Ville,  cannot, 
tinder  the  names  of  brotherhoods  and  union.*,  be  suf- 
fered to  make  bonfires  of  onr  railway  stations  and 
warehouses.  Hostile  bands  will  no  more  be  per- 
mitted to  plunder  our  trains  of  merchandise  than 
formerly  to  seize  the  stores  of  Bennington ; 
and  it  Breyman  with  the  best  troops  of 
Euroi>o  might  not  obstruct  this  great  h^hway 
with  his  cannon,  still  loss  may  the  Flinns, 
Loshers.  and  Zepps  with  ruffian  hands  arrest 
the  movemeuta  of  our  great  su^am  thoronghfares, 
and  paralyze  the  whole  buiinesa  of  this  coun- 
try. The  strong  arm  of  the  nation  mtist 
teach  them  that  if  they  will  not  work  neither  shall  _ 
they  forcibly  arrest  the  bonesi  work  of  other  men.

POEM  BY  WILLIAM  CULLEN  BRYANT. 
The   following    poem,    by    William     CtUlen 
Bryant,  will  be  read  at  Bennington  to-day : 
On  this  fair  valley's  verdant  breast 
The  calm  sweet  rays  of  Summer  rest, 
And  dove-like  peace  benignly  broods 
On  its  smooth  lawns  and  solemn  wooda. 

A  centtiry  since,  in  flame  and  smoke, 
The  storm  of  battle  o'er  it  broke. 
And,  ere  the  invader  turned  and  fled. 
These  pleasant  fields  were  strewn  with  dead. 

Stark,  Quick  to  act  and  bold  to  dare, 
And  Warner's  mountain  band  were  there, 
And  Allen,  who  had  flnnp  the  pen 
Aside  to  lead  the  Berkshire  men. 

With  fiery  onset,  blow  for  blow. 
They  rtished  upon  the  embattled  foe. 
And  swept  his  squadrons  from  the  vale, 
Like  leaves  before  the  Autumn  gale. 

Oh  !  never may  the  purple  stain 
Of  combat  blot  these  fields  again. 
Nor  this  fair  valley  ever  cease 
To  wear  the  placid  smile  of  peace. 

Yet  here,  beside  that  battle  field. 
We  plieht  the  vow  that  ere  we  yield 
The  rljthts  for  which  our  fathers  bled. 
Our  blood  shall  steep  the  grotiud  we  tread. 

TERRIBLE  OUTRAGE  /_V  BEOOKLYN, 


A  DISCARDED  WIFE  SEEKS  VESGEAHCE  ON 
HER  SEDUCER— THE  MAN  TERRIBLY 
MUTILATED. 

An  atrocious  case  of  maiming  occurred  last 
evening  in  Williamsburg.  The  parties  to  the  cuse 
are  James  Wildermott  and  Honora  McCormlck, 
both  of  whom  are  middle-aged,  and  of  not  over 
reputable  character.  The  former  is  an  employe  In 
Delamater's  Iron  Works,  this  City,  and  lives  at  No. 
442  West  Twentyaiith-street.  He  Is  48  years  old, 
and  has  been  married  for  25  years.  The  woman  Is 
35  years  old,  was  married  five  years  ago,  and  has 
until  recently  been  living  with  her  husband,  who  is 
the  foreman  of  a  shoe  factory,  at  San  Francisco.  It 
aecma  that  for  several  yoars  previotu  to 
her  marriage  she  and  Waldermott  had 
been  uuduly  intimate,  but  when  she  married  she 
assured  her  husband  that  the  reports  to  that  eS'ect 
were  false,  and  he  had  continued  to  support  her,  in 
that  belief.  A  few  months  ago  a  visitor  happened  at 
their  home.  He  came  from  WiUiamsburgb,  and 
knew  her  before  her  marriage.  One  night,  while 
intoxicated,  he  referred  to  her  past  career  In 
the  presence  of  her  htisband.  This  aroused  suspicion 
which  was  followed  bv  bitter  persecution,  lasting  for 
several  weeks.  Finallv  she  confessed  all.  and  begged 
for  mercy  on  behalf  of  her  children.  Her  husband. 
however,  was  relentless,  and.  hsvlnsj  ptirchased  a 
passenirer  ticket  to  New-York,  he  gave  it  to  her,  and 
commanded  her  to  leave  his  house  forever.  She  re- 
turned to  WilliarasbuTg,  and  took  apartmenta 
at  No.  itiO  First-street  about  a  month  ago. 
Since  then  she  has  ^-islted  Wildermatt  at  his 
shop  several  times,  urging  him  to  visit  her 
Yerterday  she  addressed  a  note  to  him.  requeetbig 
him  to  ch'II  durine  the  evening.  Wildermott  reached 
her  apartments  about  8:30  o'clock,  and  from  there 
accompanied .  her  to  a  neighboring  by-street 
below  the  house.  When  she  approached 
him  there  he  moved  forward  toward 
lier,  wheu  she  suddenly  produced  a  thnemakor's 
knife,  and  stabbed  him  in  the  .nbdomcn.  The  effect 
was  terrible,  and  in  an  instant  he  bounded  into  the 
street  terribly  mutilated.  In  addition  to  the  mutila- 
tion, there  were  two  gashe.s  upon  each  thigh,  each  five 
Inchon  in  length ;  two  cashes  across  his  right  hand 
completely  severing  the  veins;  two  similar  gashes 
on  his  left  hand,  of  which  also  the  middle  finger 
was  split  from  the  end  to  the  second  joint.  Upon 
leaving  tho  allcy-wav.  he  met  Officer  Picker- 
man,  who  handed  l.im  over  to  OCBcer  Hoadley, 
Tiv  whom  he  was  removed  to  the  Eastern  THstrict 
Ifospltal.  Notii-e  was  at  once  sent  to  the  Fifth  Pre- 
cinct Station-HouBe.  and  Capt.  Woglom.  with  De- 
tective fihort,  repaireil  to  the  woman's  residence. 
S)ie  admitted  having  committed  the  ontrage,  and 
willingly  accompanied  them  to  the  hos- 
pttul.  Upon  seeing  HUdermott  she  said 
fiercely,  "O!  I  wish  I  had  killed  you." 
■•  I  wish  you  had."  he  replied,  "  for  then  I  would  not 
have  to  live  throuch  this  disgrace."  She  was  then 
removed  to  the -station-house  and  looked  up.  her  de- 
meanor throughout  beinc  that  of  a  woman  who  had 
accomplished  a  desired  end.  and  was  satisfied  with 
her  work.  Wildeirmott  says  he  will  not  make  a  com- 
plaint against  her.

FIRST  DAT  OP  THE  FIFTH  ANNUAL  REGATTA 
AT  DETROIT — A  BADLT-ARRAKQED  AF- 
FAin— A  MOOKLIGHT  REVIEW  ON  THE 
RIVER. 

HpfHal  Dtupatrh  tn  thf  Xev-Tork  7im«. 

DETROtT.  Mich.,  Aug.  15.— This  waa  th©  first 
day  of  the  fifth  annual  regetta  of  the  National  Ama- 
teur Bowing  Association.  The  attendance  was  large, 
many  boats  cltistering  around  the  coturse,  and  all  the 
eligible  points  on  shore  being  occupied  by  spectators. 
The  management  was  not  successful  In  keeping  the 
competing  crews  np  to  time,  and  the  result  was 
that,  with  a  fine  day  and  good  water,  the 
programme  was  so  thoroughly  deranged  by  delays  in 
getting  tho  crews  Into  line,  that  tho  Junior  single- 
scull  race  had  to  be  postponed,  and  the  final  heat  of 
the  fonr-oared  race  did  not  take  place  until 
after  dark,  the  result  being  ginch  loudly-ex- 
pressed dissatisfaction  by  the  nnyiic.  The  four- 
oared  race  waa  beautifully  eontest<il  In  each  heat, 
strong  crews  appearing  aud  the  wofk  being  snug  be- 
tween the  leaders  clear  down  the  course.  In  the 
double-scull  race  the  Quaker  City  pair  won 
easily,  repeating  on  the  Detroit  their  re- 
cent victones  on  tho  Schuylkill.  The  victory 
in  the  "i>onton  "  race  was  FoiTest  S.  Campbell,  of 
Detroit,  who  won  the  swimming  and  tub  races  of  yes- 
terday. For  some  unexnlained  reason  Yates  aud 
Barnard,  who  started  in  the  double-scull  race,  and 
were  favorites,  fell  far  to  the  rear,  and  left  the  course 
before  the  finish.  The  victors  in  the  four -oared  race, 
the  Emeralds,  of  Saginaw,  contain  some  of  the  best 
material  of  the  old  Wah-Wah-Sum  Club  of  that  town, 
which  has  been  for  several  years  chasiplons  of  the 
North-western  Amateur  Association.  They  are  stout 
watermen,  hardy,  and    thoroughly  trained  with  oars. 

Tlio  only  mishap  ot  the  day  was  the  fouling  of  the 
Union  Springs  and  Zephyr  Clnbs  in  the  second  four- 
oared  heut,  but  this  was  amicably  settled  by  allow- 
ing both  to  pull  in  the  decisive 'beat.  To-night  a 
moonlight  review  is  taking  place  on  the  river,  with 
fire-works  from  the  boat-nouses,  and  the  boats  illu- 
minated with  lanterns,  forming  a  novel  and  beauti- 
ful scene.  

THE  CHARGES  AGAINST  AlTSTZy  LEASE. 
On  last  Thursday  evening  charges  preferred 
agaim  ex-Assemblyman  Austin  Leake,  President  of 
the  Fifth  Assembly  District  Association,  by  ex-Al- 
derman John  H.  Brady,  Chairman  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  association,  to  the  effect  that  Mr. 
Leake  had  distributed  the  patronage  of 
the   organization  to  Democrats    and  non-residents 

of  the  district,  and  had  misappropriated  funds  in- 
trusted to  him.  were  referred  to  a  committee  com- 
SosmI  of  ex-Aldcrmau  Eugene  Ward,  Vice-President 
•aulel  Mooney,  ex-Senator  Abraham  Lent.  Charles 
LyncJi,  aud  George  Betts,  to  Investieate  and  report 
upon.  The  committee  held  an  informal  meeting  on 
Tuesday  evening  and  arranged  to  hold  a  formal  one 
this  evening  at  Ko.  2\7  Spring-street,  at 
which  Mr.  Leake  has  been  invited  to  be 
present.  Three  members  of  the  committee,  Mes.sra. 
ward,  Mooney,  and  Lynch,  slfmed  the  charges  pre- 
ferred Bgalnst  Mr.  I>eake,  and  it  is  supposed  that  he 
will  object  to  Mr.  Lynch  for  this  reason,  but  that  he 
will  not  object  to  Messrs.  Ward  and  Mooney,  believ- 
ing them  to  be  unprejudiced,  while  there  are  some 
circumstances  to  Indicate  that  Mr.  Lj-uch  does  not 
occupy  that  position. 

THE  CTTIZEXSr  FIRE  OF  NEWARK. 
The  proceedings  before  Vice- Chancellor  Van 
Fleet  against  the  Citizens'  Fire  Insurance  Company 
of  Newark,  N.  J.,  brought  by  the  Superintendent  of 
Insurance,  were  dismissed  yesterday,  the  com- 
pany ha>'ing  reinsured  its  risks  in  the  People's 
Insurance  Company  of  Newark,  and  having  se- 
cured the  payment  of  unpaid  losses  by  de- 
positing In  tru.sl  a  sufficient  amount  of  securities. 
The  reinsurance  dates  from  3  o'clock  on  Wednesday ; 
it  was  eflFected  at  a  cost  of  $00,000  paid  uartlv  in 
cash  and  partly  in  securities.  The  outstanding 
losses  amount  to  $30,000.  To  secure  these  the 
bonds  and  mortgages  of  tho  Citizens'  Company  were 
deposited  in  trust,  subject  to  the  order  of  Insurance 
Commissioner  Kelsey.  The  injunction  issued  last 
week  against  the  company  by  the  Chancellor  was 
dissolved  as  soon  as  the  contract  of  reinsurance  waa 
signed.  Mr.  Kelsey  says  that  tjie  embarrassments 
of  the  company  arose  from  the  f»ct  that  with 
braocbes  in  almost  every  State  it  tried  to  carry  on 
too  large  a  business  on  its  limited  capital.

REPORTS  TO  THE  DEPARTMENT  OP  AGRICUL- 
TURE— AS  rinrsuAL  sho'^ving  for  au- 
gust. 
■Washington,  Atig.  15. — The  cotton  re- 
port of  the  Department  of  Agriculture  makes 
an  unusual  showing  of  condition  for  tbe  month 
of  August,  no  material  decline  being  apparent 
from  the  status  in  July.  The  general  aver- 
age for  July  was  93  4-10 ;  in  August, 
93.  No  State  averages  stand  hieher  tban 
in  1876.  except  those  of  Louisiana  and  Flor- 
ida. The  States  of  the  greatest  production, 
especially  those  west  of  the  Mississippi,  are 
those  reporting  the  highest  condition.  Esti- 
mates are  as  follows:  North  Carolina,  S8  ; 
South  Carolina,  SS  ;  Georgia,  S5  ;  Florida.  03 ; 
Alabama,  94 ;  Mississippi,  90.:  Louis- 
iana, 106 ;  Texas,  96  ;  Arkansas,  93  ; 
Tennessee,  00.  On  the  Atlantic  coast  there  is 
frequent  mention  of  inferior  fruiting.  In  the 
CaroUnas  there  has  been  much  su-'culenco  of 
growth  in  consequence  of  abundant  moisture. 
In  Georgia  and  Alabama  there  has  be*-n  fiome 
injury  from  drought,  but  the  weather  has  lately 
been  more  sea.sonable.  It  has  been  too 
wet  in  much  of  Mis.<issippi,  and 
some  cotton  in  bottom  lands  in  Tippah 
County  ha.s  been  abandoned  from  tbis  cftu.«f'.

John  E.  Daily,  of  the  firm  of  Kuranda  &  XhSSj, 
stock  brokers,  Ko.  413  CaHfomiaretreet.  waa  ahot  and 
killed  yesterday  morning,  about  10  o'clock,  by  I».  O. 
Hanks,    Consnl-Genttal    of    Guatemala,    on    Mont- 
go  Jiery-street,  near  the  south-west  eomer  of  Bnah,  in 
front  of  Colman's  clothing  store.     TTmilr^  ma  almost 
inunediately  arrested,  and  lodged  at  the  City  Fdaon, 
under  a  cbarge  of  murder.    Daily .  waa  removed  to 
Wakelee's  drug  store,  where  medical  aid  was  sum- 
moned, but  he  died  in  about  an  hour.    The  Coroner 
"tooK  oharpe  of  the  remains,  aud  held  an  inqaeat  in 
the  evening.    Tho  excitement  among  the  acquaint' 
*ances  and  friends  of  the  deceased  w:as  intenaa,   and 
great  indignation  was  expressed  at  what  every  one 
r^arfled  a  cowardly  assassination. 

So  far  aa  known,  this  murder  waa  the  npahot  of  an 
affair  of  comparative  ina^nifieanee.  All  the  partlea — 
Hanks,  Daily,  and  Knranda— resided  at  tbe  Palace 
Hotel.  Both  Hanks  and  Daily  were  men  of  laxg^ 
physique,  and  nearly  matched;  Kuranda  waa  smaller, 
and  it  appears  he  was  not  acquainted  with  Bjuoks. 
The  story  goes  that  they  met  at  the  elevator  of  tbe 
hotel  on  Saturday  night,  and  that  Knranda  accident- 
ally jostling  him,  apologized,  when  Hanks  struck  him 
iu  the  face.  Kuranda  reported  this  affront  to  Didly, 
when  they  agreed  that  Kuranda  should  demand  an 
apologyfrom  Hanks,  and,  in  the  event  of  bis  resum- 
ing hostilities.  Daily  wonld  do  the  fighting  for  the 
firm.  Daily  arid  Kuranda "  went  to  Menlo  Park, 
Simday,  and  on  Slonday  all  the  parties  met  In  tho 
corridor  of  the  Palace  Hotel,  when  Knranda  de- 
manded an  apology  froi!t  Hanks,  w^o  refused.  Ku- 
randa then  attacked  him  with  a  whip,  when  TT*TtVn 
set  upon  him,  and  was  in  tttm  attacked  by  Daily, 
and  got  the  worst  of  it.  Reports  of  Hanks  matHpg 
threats  reached  Daily,  and  he  was  advised  to  arm 
himself,  but  refused  to  do  so.  saying  that  if  Hanks 
attacked  him  he  would  disarm  him.  The  parties  did 
not  meet  aeain  until  yesterday  morning,  when  the 
killing  took  place. 

The  version  of  the  elevator  collision,  the  supposed 
origin  of  the  trouble,  given  hj  Hanks'  frieniu  and 
himself,  differs  raaterialty  from  tliat  of  Kuranda. 
The  latter,  according  to  the  prisoner's  story,  was 
rude  and  Insolent,  .and  received  a  slight  tap  m  the 
face.  Hanks  further  claims  that  threats  were  made 
to  beat  him  a^aiu;  that  on  the  second  collision, 
when  both  Daily  and  Knranda  attacked  him,  his  eve- 
classes  were  broken :  and  that  yesterday  morning 
no  wa.**  on  his  way  to  an  optician's  to  replace  them 
when  Daily  approached  him.  brandishing  a  rane  in 
a  threatening  manner,  and  that  he  shot  him  became 
he  was  apprehensive  of  receiving  another  beating. 

THE    coroner's   IirCESTIOATlOK. 

How  murh  this  differs  from  what  eye-witnessea 
saw.  -will  appear  by  fhe  subjoined  testimony,  given 
at  the  Coroners  investigation,  held  last  night.  The 
following-named  gentlemen  constituted  the  jury : 
William 'H.  Douglass,  Thomas  R.  Lewis.  Georpo  W. 
Clark.  James  W.  Bumham  A.  Roman,  B.  P.  Moore, 
J.  R.  Hamilton,  and  ti.  Koehler.  The  Coroner's  of- 
fice was  crowded  with  spectators,  friends  of  the  de- 
ceased and  witnesses,  most  of  whom  were  unae- 
quainled  with  him  in  bis  lifetime.  An  intimation 
had  been  conveyed  to  Dr.  Swan,  Coroner,  that  the 
accused,  Hanks,  desired  "to  make  a  statement.  He 
was  brought  over  from  the  City  PrL«on  and  kept  in 
the  private  office  during  the  inqtiest.  His  counsel. 
McClure  and  Thornton,  were  present  during  the  nn>- 
ceedin^s. 

Dr.  John  I.  Crook  made  an  antopiy,  and  fotxnd 
that  the  wound  passed  backward,  eptering  the 
thoracic  cavity  between  the  fourth  and  fifth  ribs  ; 
discovered  some  discoloration  about  both  eyes  and 
abnisions  on  the  left  forehead  nose  and  chin  ;  these 
marks  were  recent,  but  not  fresh  ;  cause  i>f  death, 
internal  hemorrJiago  from  gtuishot  wound  of  the 
lun^.  '

found  patient  pulseless,  with  a  bullet  wound  above 
the  ritihl  nipple ;  used  stimtilants  in  every  way  to 
restore  him  ;  he  was  perfectly  conscious  :  *sa>iug  it 
was  a  cowardly.  coid-bl'XHied  murder,  and  hoped  the 
murderer  would  bo  hanged  ;  left  messages  for  his 
mother  and  fist  prs,  nnd  said  he  waa  not  afraid  lo 
die.    Hediedat  11:00-

wa*  shot  he  asked  for  me  :  was  nresent  when  he  died; 
I  a.slced  him  what  waa  the  matter  ;  he  said,  "He  shot 
me :'"  I  knew  the  previous  difficulty  between  him  and 
Hankt:.  and  know  who  he  meant ;  he  said,  "  He  came 
up  behind  me,  and  sb'H  me  like  a  coward ;  aa  be  fired 

the  pUtol    he  said,  '  Voti bully,   take   that ;'  I 

tried  to  catch  liim,  but  fell;"  I  searched  him,  and 
found  only  a  small  pocket-knife;  nothing  In  the 
shape  of  a  weapon.

lee's druff  .>tore  in  a  rather  humed  manner  and  very 
pscited  ;  did  not  know  the  parties  :  never  saw  either 
before  ;  as  he  got  to  the  car-track  he  made  a  motion 
to  take  out  a  pistol :  he  pulled  a  pistol  out  and  put  it 
to  the  deceaswl's  breast,  and  fired  without  a  word 
^bat  I  heard  ;  I  was  within  five  feet  of  them :  de- 
ceased was  just  nassim:  the  fountain ;  two  men 
CRueht  the  deceased,  and  I  ran  after  the  man  that

ment, swinging  the  door  rudely  against  another  gen- 
tleman, and  passed  out;  saw  him  a  moment  after 
across  the  street  in  the  direction  of  the  fountain: 
he  stepped  up  alongside,  partially  covering  a  man 
who  was  passmg ;  heard  a  report,  and  saw  deceased 
fall :  [identified  Hanks  as  the  man  who  passed  out  of 
the  hotel;]  think  it  was  impossible  for  deceased  to 
see  liim. 

tieorce  A.  Kckoring,  residing  at  Xo.  217  Shotwell- 
Etreet.  testified  that  he  was  not  acquainted  with  de- 
ceased :  was  tho  man  against  whom  Hanks  slammed

TJIE  ASSASSIN*  ANT>  HIS  ^^CTIiI. 

John  E,  Daily  came  to  this  city  about  six  months 
ago.  to  engage  in  stock  speculation,  having  nrevious- 
ly  followed  that  line  of  enterprise  In  New- York.  He 
entered  into  partnership  with  Emil  Kuranda,  and 
the  two  hired  an  office  In  the  rear  of^No,  413  Califor- 
nia-street. He  was  a  native  of  Kew-Haven,  Conn., 
where  lie  has  a  mother,  eistera.  and  a  brother  now 
residing.  I>aring  the  late  war  he  served  honorably  in 
a  New-Vork  regiment,  holding  the  rank  of  Lieuten- 
ant. He  was  32  years  of  age.  and  an  unusually  fine 
specimen  of  physical  manhood.  The  acquaintances 
he  has  formed  since  his  residence  here  represent  him 
to  have  been  a  quiet  and  courteous  gentleman,  pos- 
sessed of  fine  social  qualities.  No  arms  were  found 
upon  his  body,  but  lie  was  accustomed  to  carrj-  a 
cane,  and  it  wa5  stated  that  one  was  picked  up  on  the 
si<4ewai(k  after  tho  shooting. 

Leslie  ( '.  Hauks.  the  murderer,  is  36  years  of-  age, 
and.  like  lus  victim,  a  man  of  imposing  appearance 
end  imprcHEive  address.  Some  years  ago  he  went  to 
Guatemala  a-*  the  commercial  agent  of  the  firm  of  J. 
C.  Men-ill  &  Co.,  and  succeeded  so  well  in  obtaining 
business  that  be  waa  admitted  to  a  partnership  iu  the 
house  after  two  years"  residence  In  that  country.  He 
then  came  hack  to  flian  Francisco  and  subsequently 
returned  to  South  America.  After  he  became  a  part- 
ner in  the  firm  he  made  several  loose  transactions 
which  resulted  in  so  great  a  loss  to  the  house  that  the 
senior  member  forced  a  dissolution  of  the  partner- 
ship. In  tho  meantime,  however.  Hanks  bad  become 
so  well  ingratiated  into  the  confidence  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  Guatemala  that  he  obtained  for  himself  the 
position  of  Consnl-Genezal  of  Guatemala,  resident  at 
.San  Francisco,  which  he  retained  until  a  short  time 
since.  Hanks  is  a  native  of  this  State,  andabrotherof 
Prof.  H-  G-  Hanks,  the  chemist.  He  ia  not  without  his 
friends,  many  of  whom  did  not  desert  him  after  he 
bad  rendered  himself  the  ob;|ect  of  public  execration, 
but  rushed  to  the  City  Prison  to  visit  him.  The 
weapon  with  which  the  murder  was  committed  was 
a  five-barreled  revolver.  Lately  Hanks  haa  not  been 
the  Consul-Geserml  for  Guatemala,  tba  appotntment

with  a  cane.  He  warded  the  blow,  and  exhibits  a 
badly  swollen  thumb  joint  aa  the  mbolt.  Daily  than 
struck  him  two  powerfoJ  blows,  sinking  the  ring  of 
his  eye-glaeses  into  the  bridge  of  his  nose,  and  he  waa 
too  much  stunned  at  the  outset  ta  make  any  effeetiva 
defeiue  against  the  combined  attack.  'U  nen  Daily 
was  taken  off  from  him  he  made  the  romailc,  "I'D, 
fix  you  ;  this  thing  is  not  over  yet."  He  understood 
from  this  threat  and  the  caution  received  from  frifoda 
that  I>aily  was  a  desperate  man,  and  it  was 
necessary  for  hlra  to  procnre  a  pistol  and 
l^e^  on  hia  guard.  Yesterday  morning  he 
BtaKed  for  his  office,  and  was  met  Irf  a 
frieftd  who  caUed  hia  attention  to  the  fact  that  tha 
Chr<»ucl£  had  published  a  full  account  of  the  fight  in 
the  hotel  court.  Ho  stepped  Into  the  Oodiaental 
Hotel  to  see  what  the  Chronicle  had  to  aay  about  tba 
trouble.  VMien  he  emerged  he  started 'acroH  tfaa 
street  to  purchase  a  new  pair  of  eye-glasses,  but  had 
not  accomplished  that  object  before  h« 
perceived  Daily  approaching  him,  with  a 
malignant  expression  of  the  eye,  and  mon 
malignant  flourish  of  a  clubbed  cane.  To 
avert  a  repetition  of  tbe  beating  he  drew  his  ^atol 
and  fired  in  self-defense,  hoping  to  disable  hia  dangor- 
ous  adversary.  Any  man  of  spirit  in  San  Franclaeo 
could  not  have  acted  otherwL«e.  Not  a  word  wma 
spoken  by  either  at  the  time.  He  was  not  aeeoa- 
tomed  to  carry  a  pistol,  bat  did  so  on  the  advioe  ol 
friends.  Since  the  shooting  Hanks  hai  received  In- 
formation that  fully  warranted  the  shootine.  It  vaa 
to  the  effect  that  a  letter  had  been  received  from 
New-York  representing  Daily  to  he  a  desperate  man 
and  one  to  bo  carefully  watched.  The  reporter 
Bought  the  reference  given,  but  only  aaeertaiuM.  that 
the  gentleman  who  leased  an  office  to  Dally  had  been 
cautioned  that  Daily  was  a  stranger,  and  as  he  gradn- 
atod  tn  the  New-York  stock  rings  was  likely  to  b« 
tricky.  This  gentleman  knew  nottiing  about  any  let* 
ter,  and  did  not  recollect  whether  a  letter  had  beev 
mentioned  to  him. 

StnCIDE   or    HA>'KS. 

Last  evening,  after  the  Coroner's  inquest  on  the 
body  of  tha  murdered  man,  the  murderer  Hanki  wai 
conveyed  back  to  prison  by  the  officer  who  had  ao- 
companied  him.  The  verdict  of  the  jury  had  a  visi- 
ble effect  on  his  mind,  causixig  him  to  appear  mocb 
depressed  in  spirits.  Immediately  on  his  entranoa 
to  the  pri-KJn  he  was  transfeired  to  cell  No.  3  in  the 
new  prison.  That  part  of  the  City  Prison  is  aome- 
wbat  secluded  from  the  observBtion  of  common 
prisoners,  and  is  intended  for  prisoners  of  his  stand' 
mg.  Thedoor  leading  to  it  is  always  locked,  and  it 
is  very  seldom  unoccupied.  Last  evenluK,  howevvr, 
there  was  no  other  prisoner  iu  that  poruon  of  tha 
jail  except  Hanks.  'FLach.  cell  is  also  guarded  by  aa 
Iron  door  leading  from  a  corridor  into  which  tha 
prisoners  cau  look  ihroupb  a  small  wicket.  lASt 
night,  shortly  after  1-  o'clock,  a  newspaper  reporter 
who  had  promised  to  confer  with  Hanks  in  connec- 
tion with  the  murder,  entered  the  prison  and 
desired  to  see  him.  Prison  Keeper  Colea 
accompanied  him  to  the  new  prlHin  «ad 
to  the  cell  of  the  murderer.  They  found 
that  the  gas  had  l>een  turned  off,  however,  and  coo- 
clued  that  the  inmate  had  fallen  asleep.  They  called 
to  him  once  or  twice,  but  he  did  not  respond,  and  they 
withdrew.  A  little  later  M.  Perrier,  the  French 
athlete,  who  Is  a  friend  of  Coles,  entered  the  prison, 
and  in  the  course  of  conversation  expressed  a  desire  to 
eee  the  man  Hanks.  Mr.  Coles  at  first  objected, 
but  finally,  after  persistent  solicitation,  consented  to 
allow  him  to  look  through  the  wicket  at  him.  They 
then  eutered  the  new  prison,  and  found  it  in  tha 
same  condition  as  it  had  been  when  they  left.  Per- 
rier, when  cell  No.  2  was  pointed  out  to  bi^n^ 
scratched  a  match  on  the  Iron  of  the  cell  door,  and  by 
the  glare  of  the  light  peeped  In  through  the  wicket, 
"  Why,  he's  sitting  on  a  chair  asleep  and  he's  stark 
naked,"  he  exclaimed.  Prison  Keeper  Coles  then 
lighted  another  match  and  looked  In  himself,  and  on 
close  inspection  dieeovered  blood  on  the  drawcta  of 
the  prisoner,  and  he  noticed  also  that  the  attitude  of 
tbe  man  was  not  that  of  one  a&loep.  He  shouted, 
*' Why,  he's  dead ! "  And  sought  the  office  of  Capu 
Sbort^  and  communicated  the  fact  to  him.  Tbey 
both,  accompajiied  by  Dr.  Stivers,  then  entered  the 
cell,  and.  lignting  the  cas,  discovered  that  the  man 
Itad  deliberately  shot  himself.  He  was  seated  one 
chair  near  the  door  of  the  cell  in  his  underclothes, 
and  with  but  one  shoe  aud  stocking  on.  On  the  floor 
by  his  choir  lay  a  Springfield  rifle,  with  which  he  had 
perpetrated  the  deed.  He  had  evidently  seated  Mm. 
self  in  the  chair,  and,  having  removed  shoe  and  6tocl& 
ing,  placed  the  muzzle  of  tbe  gun  to  his  left  breast, 
and  pulled  the  triger  with  his  left  toe.  The  ball  en- 
tered the  heart,  and  passing  completely  through  tha 
body  struck  against  the  iron  wall  of  the  cell  with 
sufficient  forc«  to  displace  a  portion  of  the  eoactng  of 
paint.  After  the  shooting  he  had  fallen  over  toward 
his  left  side,  leaning  on  the  arm  of  Ms  chair.  The 
blood  had  flowed  from  the  wound  on  the  chair 
and  floor,  and  had  spattered  over  the  wall 
behind  hiiu.  The  muzzle  of  the  gun  bad  been  placed 
directly  against  hia  undershirt,  and  the  muzzle  ita^ 
held  in  his  hand.  The  shtrt  was  burned  and  black- 
ened with  tbe  powder  aa  well  as  his  hand.  In  tha 
eomer  of  the  room  was  the  patent  cot  which  had  been 
provided  by  his  fi^iend^  ai)d  on  the  floor,  in  a  news- 
paper  were  various  little  articles,  such  as  a  tooth- 
urush,  looking-glass,  and  tooth  -powder.  On  tbe  cot 
was  found  a  letter  neatly  addressed  to  *' Julius  C 
Rels. "  and  on  the  reverse  aide  of  the  envelope,  writ- 
ten in  a  bold  hand,  was  the  following  : 

11:33  P.  IC 

The  coolest  act  of  my  Ufa  Had  to  take  off  my  boou  ta 
pull  the  trigger  with  my  toe  ! !  1 

P.  &— I  tned  my  Derringer,  bnt  It  missed  flx«  twloa* 
Now  for  my  mubket. 

In  a  sachel  in  the  cell  wax  found  the  Derringer 
mentioned.  It  was  loaded  and  fully  cocked,  and  the 
cartridge  showed  evidence  of  having  collided  slightly 
with  tbe  hammer.  The  verdict  of  the  Coroner's  jury 
evidently  worked  on  the  mind  of  the  nnfortttzutta 
man  and  induced  him  to  commit  suicide. 

CA&ELE8SSE88     VS     THB   PBISON. 

Who  is  responsible  for  this  affair  is  a  qnes* 
tion  which  must  be  determined  by  an  invea- 
tigation  by  the  proper  jKiwers.  It  appeaia 
that  this  man  was  permitted  to  receive  the 
visits  of  friends  all  dav  and  evening ;  that  they  were 
permitted  lo  pa*s  in  his  valise  and  a  new  eol,  with 
nice  clean  linen.  Whether  those  articles  were 
searched,  does  not  appear.  This  strange  ovonichfe 
— ^for  there  seems  to  l>e,  at  least,  an  "  oversight  " 
somewhere— explains  the  Derringer ;  it  waa  in  tha 
valise,  or  waa  supped  to  the  felon  by  Ms  friends.  Ona 
of  the  strangest  circumstances  of  thia  affair  Is  tha 
fact  that  a  quantitv  of  army  muskets,  part  of  those 
tised  to  equip  the  Committee  of  Safety,  were  stacked 
loose  in  the  corridor,  and  tliat  a  quantity  of  mnaket 
cartridges  were  lyinE  loose  on  a  box.  It  -vcas  one  of 
these  muskets  Hanks  used.  Apparently,  this  Indi- 
cates a  queer  Idea  of  handling  ordnance  in  a  prison. 
How  the  musket  got  into  the  cell  is  clear  enotigh,  but 
as  to  who  introduced  it  may  not  be  so  clear.  Tha 
fact  that  the  explosion  did  not  alarm  persons  in  tha 
main  prison  is  rather  vaguely  explained  by  tha 
theorv  that  the  muzzle  being  close  to  the  body,  tha 
^oxm.i  was  deadened  hy  that  contact. 

A  SEXSATIOX  IX  BEEKyfAX-STREET, 


TRAVEL  BLOCKADED  OX  ACCOUNT  OP  A  FITS- 
CENT  FABE— A  JOLLY  CROWD  REJOICSS 
OVER  THE  DEFEAT  OP  A  PEKSISTEKT 
DRIVER. 

About  6:30  oVlock  last  evening  &,  one-hom 
car  on  the  Blcecker  Street  and  Folton  Feny  liBi 
atox)ped  on  tbe  track  between  Pork-row  and  Kasaan- 
ctrect,  and  the  driver,  who  was  hemmed  in  on  tha 
little  front'platform  by  a  crowd  of  passengers,  begas 
demanding  in  loud  and  peremptory  tones  that  a  pas* 
sengerwhowas  delinquent  should  put  in  his  fare  oi 
he  would  not  drive  on  a  step.  The  car  was  so  denia- 
ly  packed  that  a  roar  of  remonstranoe  -went  up  from 
the  iroprieoned  party,  and  a  chorus  of  "Go  on  I" 
•tartled  the  crowds  on  the  sidewalk.  Tbe  fare  was 
not  put  in  and  the  driver  remained  firm,  while  the 
passengers  continued  to  object  in  emnhatic  Ungnoga 
to  their  delay.  I*re«entlv  a  circle  of  spectators  sor- 
rounded  the  ear,  then  a  few  trucks  stopped,  then  a 
second  street  oar  eama  along,  and  by  and  by  tha 
street  was  blocked  by  ■pectatora,  'tmcka.  and 
cars,  the  line  reaching  out  across  Pork-row 
and  interfering  with  the  travel  on  tha 
main  lines  up  town.  The  surronnding  crowd 
sympathized  with  the  passenger,  who  could  not  readi 
his  pockets  it  aeeoied,  aud  uxo  driver  kept  np  faia 
loud  dispute  with  everybody  who  wanted  to  aee  tha 
car  moved  toward  thilton  Ferry.  Before  long  the 
multitude  had  accumulated  &'(>0  sfroz^  and  waa 
hugely  enjoying  the  blockade  whou  two  policemen 
appeared  and  insisted  that,  the  car  should  move  oa 
and  allow  travel  to  bo  resnxed.  Tliis  provoked  a 
cheer  from  the  spectators.  ha%  stiU  the 
driver  "held  the  fort."  and  the  street 
became  stUl  more  tmpRsaable,  A  aeoond  parley 
with  the  Police  and  the  Imminent  unger 
whlich  confronted  the  driver  of  walking  to  thestationr 
bouse  instead  of  riding  to  Fulton  Ferry,  swayed  hhoa 
from  his  determined  position,  and  he  loosened  tha 
brake  and  started  his  horse  off  at  a  canter,  amid  tbfl 
resounding  thouta  and  ^eors  of  the  rejoicing  crowd*. 
The  passenger,  if  he  still  remained  on  the  car,  had 
not  paid  hia  Iiure  when  the  blockade  was  broken.

f.£IFLE  SSOOTING  AT  CBEEDMOOB. 

THE  y  A5IEBICAN  K  TEAM  PEEVEKTED  '  FKOM 
,..  SHOOTING  BY  THE  RAIN— THIED  003IPE- 
•j       TITION  FOR  A  BALLARD  RIFLE. 

The  rainy  weather  yesterday  prevented  the 
American  and  Amatetu:  Club  teams  from  baviug  tbeir 
first  practice  at  Creedmoor.  All  the  members  of  the 
t-nro  teanu  went  oat  to  the  ran^e  by  the  9:03  A.  M. 
train,  bat  before  the  train  had  gone  far  a  hea\7  rain 
conuneuced  falling,  which  lasted,  with  occasional  inter- 
vals, thronghont  the  day.  Vpon  arriving  at  Creed- 
moor  the  riflemen  cougrezated  at  the  hotel  near  tlie 
depot,  and  waited  patiently  for  a  change  in  the 
weather.  Aboat  noon  the  sky  appeared  to  he  clear- 
ing, and  an  attempt  woa  made  by  the  .Amateur  Club 
team  to  commence  ■work  at  SOO  j-ards,  but  before 
many  «hota  had  been  fired  it  be;<ttn  to  rain  n^ln.  and 
the  prospects  of  being  able  to  shuot  ascoYeoi'4j  shots 
being  uncertain,  most  of  the  party  rotnmed  to  the 
hotel.  A  few  of  the  more  euthaitiastic  shuts,  however, 
practiced  awhile  at  l.OtM)  varda.  By  ii  o'clock  the 
raiu  hod  settled  into  a  drii^^le.  and,  as  there  was  no 
wind  etirrinfi,  (jen.  Dakin  tliouijht  the  opDortanity 
wonld  be  a  ifood  one  to  sot  the  "si^ht-ofocks, "  so 
that  when  the  wiud  was  at  "zero."  or  blowing  ex- 
actly north  or  south,  tJie  differeut  rifles  would  agree, 
providing  they  were  aimed  pc-rfectly.  Shelter  Icnta 
were  accordingly  erected  at  th«  SOO  yards'  firing 
point,  opposite  target.'j  X.  I.  and  W,  and  the  team 
was  divided  into  two  squads  of  fonr  each,  nud 
assigned  to  the  right  hand  targets,  while  the  two  re- 
serve members  were  placed  nt  a  target  on  the  leit. 
Gen.  Dakln  took  his  place  on  the  ceucxal  target  ko  as 
to  give  directions  on  either  side.  A  rone  was 
stretched  behind  the  tiring  pohit  in  orderto  prevent 
the  too  near  approach  I'f  spectators,  of  whom  tht^re 
were  very  few,  however.  Before  coiainenciug  to 
shoot  the  Captain  inistructed  the  men  firing  to  l-e 
ready  in  pairs,  mo  tliat  when  one  man  was  lying  dowu 
to  shoot  the  man  who  would  follow  hitu  should  stand 
immediately  behind  the  other  to  watch  any  sudden 
changes  of  the  wind,  and  to  gauge  his  rifle  by  that  t»f 
the  marksman  after  the  latter  had  fired  his  shut. 
The  rule  worked  like  a  charm  and  some  good 
scores  were  made.  Shooting  was  st4>pped.  however, 
after  the  team  had  fired  15  shots  at  this  ranco. 
as  the  wind  sprang  up,  and,  bluwing  the  raiu  under 
the  shelter  tents.  mad«  everj'body  wet  and  uncom- 
fortable. At  3  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  the  third 
competition  for  a  "Ballard"  uiid-rauge  rifle  to«.tk 
place.  By  that  time  the  weather  had  elenrod  up 
sufllciestly  to  enable  the  markers  to  clean  tlieir  tar- 
geta,  and  a  clear  gray  light  prevailed,  which,  in  the 
absence  of  any  wind,  conduced  to  excellent  shooting. 
There  were  23  entries,  and  the  conditions  and  scores 
were  as  follows  : 

Open  to  all  comers :  dlstanc*',  200  yards ;  position, 
Ktauding;  15  shuts,  without  i-leaniug  or  siKhtiug  shots  ;

THS'CSAMGES  AGAINST  JACOB  J.  BAyTA. 
Jacob  J. .  Banta,  one  of  the  Inspectors  of 
and  Measures,  appeared  before  Mayor  Ely 
ky  to  answer  the  charge  of  neglect  of  duty, 
rhich  was  preferred  against  him  about  two  months 
■  Corporation  Attorney  Boyd.  He  was  accused 
of  nb^eporting  thQ  names  and  places  of  business  of 
porties^h^^ring  weights  and  measures  that  were  not 
properly  3eared>...^ant^J?^s  accompanied  by  counsel, 
who  cross-e.i:»mine(h«k,n umber  of  witnesses  who  were 
called  to  testify  to  th^hargea.  Petor  Hancher.  a 
grocer,  doing  business  at  Ko.  20  ITniversity-piace, 
testified  that  Mr.  Banta  examined  five  measures  in 
hi«  establishment  that  were  not  properly  sealed,  and 
that  Banta  told  him  it  was  not  necessary  to  have 
them  sealed,  as  the  law  did  not  require  tiiat  to  be 
done.  James  Coulon,  grocer,  of  No.  SB  Greenwich- 
street,  dejrosed  that  he  had  three  scoops 
on  scales  whfch  were  not  sealed.  and  that 
Banta  told  him  not  to  pay  fees  to  anybody  this  year. 
He  refused,  therefore,  to  pay  fees  to  the  sealer,  Mr. 
Hill,  and  was  snbsequently  sued  in  the  Fourth  Dis- 
trict Court  for  the  amount,  and  a  judgment  was 
obtained  against  him  for  $59.  He  was  obliged  to 
pay  the  money-  The  witness  here  begged  the  Mayor 
to  have  the  City  reimburse  him  for  the  amount  he 
had  paid,  and  the  Mayor  replied  that  he  would  con- 
sider the  matter.  Mr.  P.  Marcy,  the  owner  of  an  ice- 
cream and  candy  store  at  No.  697  Sixth-avenue. 
testified  that  he  was  sued  in  the  Fourth  District 
Court  for  not  having  his  weights  and  measnrei; 
proiMrly  sealed;  that  he  waited  for  hours  in  the 
court-room  on  the  day  on  which  the  ca.se 
was  to  be  tried,  and  did  not  hear  hiq  name  caUDd. 
ai^d  th^t  when  the  court  was  about  to  close  he 
went  up  to  the  Judge  to  get  ^ome  infoimatiou  about 
the  suit.  The  Judge  told  hiia  that  a  judgment  had 
been  rendered  against  him  for  SG6,  which  included 
costs— the  costs  amounting  to  $16.  He  engaged  a 
lawyer  who  got  him  out  of  the  trouble  ^  paying  the 
costs,  and  he  paid  $14  to  the  lawyer.  'Hie  investiga- 
tion was  then  adjourned  until  the  23d  inst.  Durmg 
the  examination  Mr.  Banta's  counsel,  contended  that 
Mr.  Hardy,  the  Mayor's  Chief  Clerk,  who  was  con- 
ducting it  for  the  City,  had  no  right  to  appear  in 
that  capacity.  Inasmuch  as  he  had  been  stunmoned  as 
a  witness  tor  Mr.  Banta.  The  Mayor,  however, 
replied  that  if  such  a  role  as  that  held  good,  the 
eonnsel  could  summon  all  the  attachfes  of  his  office, 
and  leave  bir"  without  any  help  to  conduct  the  case. 

ASUVCTINQ  SIS  DATJGBTER'S  HUSBAND. 
Bozxie  time  ago  William  P.  Moran,  of  Jersey 
City,  married  a  daughter  of  John  "W.  Mitchell,  of 
Orange,  N.  J-  The  woman  ia  said  to  be  only  three 
■feet  and  a  half  in  hei^#,  and  Moran  tired  of  her. 
They  quarreled,  and  the  husband  returned  to  his 
fcither's  house.  His  parents  in  law  endeavored  to  in- 
duce him  to  return  to  his  vrife  but  he  refused.  Two 
or  three  days  ago  his  diminutive  wife  visited  him. 
After  a  short  conversation  she  induced  him  to  ac- 
ccMupftny  her  to^e  depot  to  see  her  safe  aboard  the 
c^rs.  When  the  train  arrived  Moran  bade  her  good- 
bye, and  was  about  to  leave,  when  Mitchell,  the  girl's 
father,  who  stood  at  the  door,  seized  him  and  com- 
pelled him  to  board  the  train  with  the  wife.  He  suc-

CEDE DONAHUE'S  BIGHT  TO  REFUSE  TO 
ANSWER. 

The  hearing  on  the  question  of  passing  judg- 
ment on  Bftmey  J.  Donahae,  the  leader  of  the  Hor- 
nellsTilla  strikers,  who  was  charged  with  contempt 
of  court  in  resisting  Hugh  J.  Jewett,  Receiver  of 
the  Erie  Railway  Company,  came  on  before  Judge 
Donohue  yesterday  morning,  in  Sapreme  Court, 
Chambers.  Messrs.  Aaron  J.  Yanderpoel  and 
Joseph  lArocque  appeared  for  Receiver  Jewett,  and 
Gen.  Roger  A.  Pryor  and  ex-Judge  George  M.  Curtis 
for  Donahue,  who  sat  by  the  side  of  his  cotmsel. 
Justus  H.  Schwab  and  a  number  of  Communists 
and  railroad  employes  sat  la  the  bode  port  of  the 
court-room. 

Mr.  Larocque  opened  the  disctission,  which  was  of 
a  desultory  character,  by  briefly  recapitulating  what 
bad  been  done  In  regard  to  the  filing  of  affidavits 
atrainst  Donahue  reciting  the  charges  against  him, 
and  the  filing  of  Interrogatories  in  relation  thereto, 
which  Donahue  had  failed  to  answer  within  the  10 
days  allowed.  Mr.  Larocque  asked  the  court  to  pro- 
nounce  judgment  against  Donahue  for  the  acts 
charged  against  him,  he  having  made  no  defense. 

Gen.  Pi^or,  in  response,  read  the  following  state- 
ment subscribed  to  by  Donahue : 

The  respondent,  the  said  Barney  J.  Donahue,  protest- 
ing hip  respectful  itubmi  salon  to  this  honorable  court,  and 
to  all  its  Uwful  orders  and  mandates,  nevertheless,  by  ad- 
vice of  counsel,  declines  to  make  answer  to  any  ox  the 
interrogatories  filed  herein  by  the  relator :  and  as  ground 
and  jiiRtiflcation  for  bo  declinlnf;  avers  that  the  oSier  of 
the  honorable  court  requiring  hJin  to  answer  said  inter- 
rogatoriea  U  invalid  ana  of  no  obligation  because. 

F\TMt. — It  is  contrarv  to  so  much  of  section  6,  article  I., 
of  the  Constitation  of  the  State  of  New- York,  as  ordains 
thst  "  Ko  person  shall  he  compelled  in  any  criminal  case 
to  be  a  witnes9  against  himself.*' 

Second. — The  respondent  not  ha^■ing  requested  to  be  a 
witness  herein,  the  said  order  contravenes  the  act  of  &Iay 
7,  18G9,  wMch  provide*  that  "in  all  criminal  proceed- 
ing«  (uid  in  all  proceedings  in  the  nature  of  criminal 
proceedings,  the  person  charged  with  the  conunlsslon  of 
the  crime  or  offense  shall,  at  his  own  reqnest,  but  not 
otherwise,  be  deemed  a  comi)etent  witness.''  And  the  re- 
spondent, the  said  Barney  J.  Donahue,  protesting  that  la 
dechning  to  answer  said  interrogatories  he  intends  no 
disrespect  or  disobedience  to  this  honorable  court,  or 
any  of  Its  lawful  orders  or  mandates,  but  means  only 
to  assert'  a  right  and  privileere  secured  to  him  by 
the  Constitation  and  laws  of  the  State,  a^  he  ia  advised 
by  counsel,  and  verily  believes,  nevertheless  declares 
his  readiness,  if  this  nis  claim  of  right  and  privHese  be 
disallowed  and  rejected  bv  the  court,  to  make  imm^ate 
answer  to  such  of  said  interrogatories  as  by  the  court 
may  be  adjudged  to  be  legal  and  rro^er.

RoGEB  A,  Pktor,  Attorney  and  Counsel  for  Respoudtnt. 

Ncw-YOBK,  Aug.  15.  Id77. 

Gen.  Pryor  then  began  an  argnment.  which  was 
mainly  an  elaboration  of  Donahue's  statement,  -  and 
went  to  show  that  the  accused  could  not  be  com-- 
pelled  to  answer  questions  tending  to  prove  his  gtiilt, 
and  could  not  be  imprisoned  for  kn  indefinite  length 
of  time  for  declining  to  answer  the  question. 

Mr.  Vanderpoel  remarked  dryly  that  it  was  a  Tnat- 
ter  of  complete  indifference  to  tbem  whether  Dona- 
hue ciiose  to  answer  or  not.  If  he  did  not  choose  to 
purge  himself  of  the  contempt  by  answering,  that 
was  Ilia  own  business.  His  answers  would  not,  how- 
ever, be  used  against  him. 

Gen.  Pryor  then  said  he  hsd  not  been  ready  when 
the  order  for  filing  the  iuterrogatories  was  present- 
ed, and  that  he  had  not  been  consulted  ais  to  the  form 
of  the  order. 

Judge  Donohnotsaid  the  fact  that  the  interroga- 
tories were  to  be  filed  with  the  Clerk,  and  that 
answers  were  to  be  given  was  stated  in  open  court 
and  in  presence  of  Gen.  Pryor.  without  any  object- 
ion being  raised  by  the  latter,  the  Judge  thought  it 
a  waste  of  time  for  Gen.  Pryor  to  go  ou  in  the  way  he 
did.  and  said  the  argument  was  out  of  place. 

Gen.  Prj-or  said  that  was  the  first  opportunity  he- 
i-.ad  of  publicly  answering  the  charge.  The  p'rose- 
ecution  had  filed  their  int«rn>gatories  and  required 
Mr.  Donalme  to  answer  them  under  oath. 

Judge  Donohue.  litt^rrupiing.  said:  But  you  hear 
them  say  they  do  nut  care  whet  her  you  answer  or  not. 
They  do  not  ask  you.  TLu:  question  now  is  what  they 
have  to  say. 

Mr.  Larocque  Paid  thp  court  had  found  on  the 
papers  as  submitted  that  there  was  sufficient  to 
charge  Donahue  with  contempt,  and  to  put  him  on 
his  eiplnnation,  aud  the  court  mert-if  ally  gave  him 
an  opportunity  and  time  to  do  so  by  answering  the 
interroiriitorics.  As  he  had  declined  to  an-swer,  the 
case  sto*id  cjiactly  where  it  had  originally.  The  only 
point  remaining  whs  for  the  court  to  fix  the  punish- 
ment a^rainst  l>onahu*»  fi)r  willful  contempt  of  the 
orderK  of  the  court.  Sn<-h  punishment  would  not  be 
for  violnttou  of  any  statute  of  the  State,  nor  for  any 
injury  to  the  property  in  llie  hands  of  the  Receiver 
of  the  Erie  liailway  Company.  The  latter  matter 
would  be  left  fi'r  anntner  time.  Tiie  punishment  in 
the  present  proceedings  would  ha  for  iuterferiug 
with  the  court  and  lis  oaicer.  the  Receiver. 

Gen.  T*rvor  said  the  counsel  wa-s  rather  premature. 
The  questlnn  was  not  how  much  puuishmeuL  should 
be  iufii'-ted,  but  whether  the  prisoner  had  been 
guilty  or  not  tif  thi>  iiff>»nff»*  charged. 

After  a  rather  rambling  discussion,  principally  di- 
rected to  tlie  iHjint  aK  to  wliother  supplemental  affida- 
\-ii!4  could  be  interi'osed  by  the  prosacuttou.  the  argu- 
ment was  adjourned  until  to-morrow,  when  briefs 
will  b^  submitted. 

ATlMK.-i  reporter  held  a  conversation  with  Gen. 
Pryor  yvsterdav  in  reference  tu  cfrtuin  features  of 
th*-  r'auL*.  Thi*  ("ieueral  was  very  indignant  at  the  ut- 
teranvrs  of  Jndiro  Donohue  published  in  Thb  TuiEfl 
y»-.sterday.  WWh  reference  to  them  Gen.-  Pryor  said  : 
"  I  suppose  thi-i  interview  to  be  unprecedented  In  Hie 
history  of  jurisprudence— tht>-t  a  Judge  before  whom 
a  jH-rson  is  arraigned  on  a  criminal  charge  should, 
onlsidu  of  the  court,  speak  in  terms  of  criticism  of 
thii  person  so  arraigned.  .Tndcft  Donohue  is  to  try 
Mr.  Donahut*  f'lr  an  alleged  violation  of  one  of  hhl 
l-JudgB  Donohue'sl  orders,  and  delicacy,  if  not  com- 
mon decency,  .nhould  havM  restrained  .lud-^e  Donohue 
from  indulging  this  extra  judicial  sneer  at  his 
\ictim.  I  never  speak  of  a  Judge's  judicial  conduct, 
and  I  do  not  now.'  But.  when  he  steT)s  down  from 
his  official  position,  and  ia  interviewed  in  a  newspaper 
ag:iin.st  one  of  my  (Uient«,  I  sh.'ill  not  hesitate  to 
ptigmatLce  and  denounce.'  his  conduct  as  it  doserveis — 
Htloa.'it,  as  far  as  I  have  language  adequat«*  to  char- 
acterize its  enormity.  3Ir.  Donohue  does  not  desire 
to  be  a  mart\x  nor,  In  refraining  from  a  further  of- 
fer of  bail,  does  ho  mean  to  represent  himself  as  a 
mart'i-r,  and  Judge  Donohiio's  charge  to  this  eifect  is 
simply  false.  Mr.  Donahue  has  offered  ba|l — 
the  best  bo  could  get — and  it  was  de- 
clined by  Judee  Donohue.  Judge  Donohue  fixed 
the  bail  'at  $2,000  and  required  freeholders.  Mr. 
Donahue's  friends  are  not  landed  proprietors.  We 
found  it  idle  to  m:ike  any  further  oner  of  bail  to 
Judge  Donohue.  In  the  cose  of  Vanderbilt,  (4  Johns., 
Ch..)  Chancellor  Kent  said  "  the  contempt  was  plain, 
willful,  and  extreme, "  and  yet  he  fixed  Commodore 
Vanderbllt's  bail  at  3100.  In  the  first  instance  I 
asked  Judge  Donohue  to  fix  the  bail  at  a  moderate 
sum,  stating  that  my  client  wa«  far  from 
his  friends,  and  poor.  Jud^ce  Ik>nohne  re- 
plied promptly  and  sharply  that  his  poverty 
wa«  not  a  matter  of  consideration-  Judge  Donohue, 
in  another  interview,  said  that  Donahue's  counsel 
had  not  asked  him  to  lessen  the  ball.  Judge  Dono- 
hue determined  the  amount  deliberately,  and  in  still 
another  interview  said  the  amount  was  not  exces- 
sive. Of  course,  therefore,  we  have  made  no  applica- 
tion to  reduce  the  bail,  and  we  have  no  favors  to  ask 
of  Judge  Donohue."' 

With  reference  to  Donnlme's  declining  to  answer 
the  interrogatories.  Gen.  Pryor  said  :  "  The  papers 
on  which  Judge  Donohue  Isgued  the  attachment  are 
fatally  iusufficiaut,  in  this,  particulariy.  that  th«v  do 
not  allege  that  Donahue  knew  of  the  orders  which  he 
is  charged  with  violating,  or  that  he  knew  that 
Mr.  Jewett  had  been  ap^>ointed  Receiver,  or  that  the 
property  of  the  Erie  Railway  Company  was  in  the 
custody  of  the  court.  And  we  moved,  before  plead- 
ing, to  quash  the  writ  and  discharge  the  prisoner  on 
the  ground  of  the  insufficiency  of  the  affidavits  oa 
which  the  warrant  of  attachment  was  issued.  After- 
ward, and  agaiuBt  our  objection,  they  put  in  addi- 
tional affidavits,  which  do  not  cure  the  defect.  They 
wanted  us  te  answer  the  interrogaries,  in  order  that 
Donohue,  in  answering  the  interrogatories,  m^ht 
make  admis.'rinns  which  would  cure  the  oe- 
fect  in  their  pancrs.  But  they  were 
defeated  in  this,  it  being  conceded  that  Donahue 
might  decline  to  answer  the  interrogatories  without 
subjecting  himself  to  another  charge  of  contempt. 
So  the  case  now  stands  ou  the  original  papers,  and  it 
is  for  Judge  Donohue  to  say  whether  he  will  convict 
a  man  of  criminal  contempt  for  violating  an  order 
for  which  there  Ls  no  pretense  he  ever  heard,  or  for 
interfering  with  the  authority  of  a  Receiver  of  whose 
appointment  there  is  not  even  an  allegatiun  that  he 
ever  was  informed." 


A  yriFB  CHASTISING  SER  S  USB  AND. 
The  tenementrhouseNo.  36  Washington-street 
was  the  scene  of  a,  lively  row  yesterday  afternoon,  the 
participants  being  Mar^  and  Patrick  Shea.  Patrick 
came  home  during  the  day,  not  having  any  work  to 
do,  and  as  soon  as  he  entered  the  h9use  Harr  at- 
tempted to  assess  him  15  cents  for  the  price  of  a 
quart  of  beer.  Patrick  foolishly  demurred  to  this,  at 
the  same  time  telling  her  that,  if  she  wanted  a  drink 
so  badly,  he  would  step  do'^  stairs  to  the  distilleTj-, 
procure  some  "  Jersey  lightning, ''  and  turn  on  the 
hose,  thus  showing  that  he  did  not  want  to 
stint  her  in  the  least.  Mary  mada  one 
more  appeal,  and  the  money  not  being 
forthcoming,  she  chased  Patrick  arotind  the  table 
two  or,  three  times,  and  getting  tired  of  this  kind  of 
amusement,  resolved  to  cut  matters  short.  She  ac- 
cordingly gently  raised  the  lid  of  the  stove,  weighing 
about  two  pounds,  and  applied  it  outwardly  to  Pat>- 
rick*a  head.  At  this  juncture  Officer  Callahan,  of 
the  Twenty-seventh  Precinct,  put  in  an  appearance, 
and  escorted  the  loving  couple,  first  to  the  station- 
house,  where  the  injured  man  had  his  wounds 
dressed,  and  thence  to  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  be- 
fore Justice  Smith.  The  magistrate  held  Mwry  in 
$1,000  bail  to  keep  thepeace.  and  will  generou^y 
allow^  her  to  spend  the  Fall  and  coming  Winter  on 
the  island.

WAS   SHE   HIS   DAUGHTER-jy-LAW  f 
OYER    $30,000    DEPENDING    ON    THE    VAL- 
IDITY   OF    A    KARRIAOS — STRANGE    HIS- 
TORY OP  A  painter's  WIPE. 

The  suit  of  William  Beid  against  Sarah  Ann 

Van  Pelt,  otherwise  known  as  Sarah  Ann  Fagan, 
-which  has  been  heretofore  reported  in  Ths;  Tmss, 
waa  zoade  the  subject  of  a  decision  by  Judge  Dono- 
hue, in  Qnpr^me  Court,  Chambers,  yesterday.  The 
whole  case  tnms  on  the  question  as  to  whether  the 
defendant  was  or  was  not  the  plaintiff's  daughter- 
in-law^that  is,  whether  or  not  she  was  legally  mar- 
ried to  his  son,  the  late  James  Reid.  On  the  answer- 
ing pf  that  question  over  930,000  depends.  The  de- 
fendant, whose  maiden  name  vna  Oheeseboroijgh,  is 
alleged  by  the  plaintiff  to  have  been  married  to  one 
Charles  Tan  Pelt  in  1847.  She  lived  with  the  latter 
for  18  years.  In  1865  she  made  the  ac- 
quaintance of  the  plfuntiiTs  son  James,  to 
whom  she  was  soon  married.  She  lived 
with  James  Beid  'up  to  the  time  of  his 
death,  which  occurred  in  1873.  Reid  had  been  a 
rather  prosperotts  Centre-Market  butcher,  and  left 
quite  a  little  estate.  At  bis  death  the  defendant,  as 
his  widow,  took  out  letters  of  administration  on  his 
estate.  The  iuyentory  of  the  property  showed  her 
one-third  share  to  be  $9,000,  though  the  plaintlfC 
says  this  was  far  below  the  real  amount.  The  de- 
fendant wore  her  widow's  weeds  for  a  short  time. 
It  seems  that  she  employed  a  painter  named  Fagan  to 
repaint  her  dwelling-house.  Fagan  was  necessarily 
about  the  honse.  and  in  frequent  consultation  with 
the  widow.  Familiarity  in  this  case  seems  to  have 
bred,  not  contempt,  but  affection,  and  the  new  paint 
was  hardly  dry  before  Mr.  Fagan  was  married  to  the 
widow,  and  installed  as  master  of  the  house  he  had 
helped  to  decorate.  Mr.  Pagan's  spouse  then  in- 
duced him  to  throw  away  his  paint  pot  aud  brush, 
and  she  started  him  in  the  nvery-stable  business. 
Mr.  Retd.  the  plaintiff  in  the  case,  now  comes  in  to 
distttxh  the  happiness  of  the  ex-palnter  aud  wife. 
In  his  complaint  he  says  he  is  the  only  next  of 
kin  of  his  son,  the  late  James  Reid,  and  that  the  de- 
fendant procured  the  letters  of  administration  on 
the  latter's  estate  by  falsely  pretending  to  be  his 
widow.  Mr.  Reid  says  that  the  defendant  thus  oh^ 
tained  poteession  of  about  $14,000.  He  says  she 
was  not  the  wife  of  his  son,  but  of  Van  Pelt.  Mr. 
Reid  farther  sa^s  that  the  defendant  began 
a  snit  against  lum  for  the  admeasnrement  of 
her  dower  in  his  son's  real  estate,  and  that 
he  paid  her  $10,000  In  settlemont.  She  af- 
terward made  him  pay  her  more  money.  He  says 
she  isnow  witbholding.!il31.0O0  from  him,  and  that 
he  believes  the  money  is  being  squandered  by  her 
husband.  Mr.  Reid  asks  to  have  the  proceedings 
before  the  Surrogate,  as  well  as  the  proceedings  for 
the  admeasurement  of  dower,  set  aside ;  that  she 
pay  over  to  him  all  that  remahos  of  the  property  ; 
and  that,  daring  the  pendency  of  the  present  action, 
she  be  enjoined  from  disposing  of  the  property,  and 
that  A  Receiver  pendente  lite  be  appointed. 

The  case  eame  before  Judge  Donohue  on  an  appli- 
cation by  the  plaintiff  for  an  injunction  and  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  Receiver.  Affidavits  were  submitted 
to  show  that  the  defendant  was  married  to  Van  Pelt 
In  1S47,  and  that  the  latter  was  living  at  the  time  of 
the  defendant's  alleged  marriage  to  James  Reid. 
Among  the  affidavits  for  the  plaintiff  are  two  made 
by  sisters  of  the  defendant.  It  is  stated  however, 
that  there  is  some  little  hard-feeling  on  their  part 
against  the  defendant,  because  of  the  religious  faith 
of  her  husband  Fsgan,  he  being  a  Roman  Catholic 
aud  they  being  Protestants.  The  defendant  on  murry- 
Ins  Fagan  renounced  her  religion  and  embraced 
Roman  Catholicism.  The  defendant  in  answer, 
denied  that  she  was  ever  married  to  Van  Pelt,  and 
averred  thst  she  had  been  the  legal  wife  of  James 
Heid.  Judge  Donohue,  in  deciding  the  application, 
said:  "There  are  two  views  of  this  case — one  that, 
with  a  knowledge  of  the  fqcts  and  the 
claims  of  the  defendant,  the  plaintiff 
settled  her  claini-  If  he  did  settle  with  a  knowledge 
that  she  claimed  to  be  the  widow  of  his  son,  and  she 
really  was  the  widow  of  Van  Pelt,  he  cannot  now  set 
a^lde  the  solemn  judgment  entered,  and  resettle  her 
cose.  His  affidavit  does  not  show  that  he  did  not 
have  information  of  the  alleged  connection  of  Van 
Peit  with  the  defendant,  and  it  is  recklessly  sworn  to 
in  stating  that  ho  had  no  knowledge  of  the  relation 
existing  b«tween  his  son  and  the  defendant 
until  almost  a  month  ago.  He  must  have  known 
Sumething  about  it  to  trsat  her  as  a  widow.  It  is 
rather  strange  that  a  father  should  not  have  known 
of  such  relations,  and  ber  statement  .show;)  he  did.  If 
he  means  Uiat  ho  did  not  know  of  her  connection  with 
Van  Felt,  or  that  she  was  not  Keid's  wife,  he  should 
have  said  so.  I  think,  without  referring  to  luimes. 
that  others  of  those  making  affidavits  for  the  plaintiff 
swear  to  conclusions  equally  reckless.  The  other 
view  is  that  the  defendant  had  n  full  and  abundant 
opportunity  for  information  before  the  Surrogate. 
for  the  very  point  established  there  was  her  relation 
to  the  deceased.  It  would  be  rather  severe,  after  an 
estate  had  been  settled  so  long,  to  take,  ia  the  first 
instance  on  motion,  the  estate  out  of  her  hands  and 
put  It  in  that  of  a  Iio4;tflver,  and  prevent  ber  using  it 
antU  the  suit  was  determined.    Motion  denied." 


FEES  IN  THE  UAJiIXE  COURT. 

A  motion  of  interest  to  lawyers  practicing  in 
the  Marine  Court  was  made  yesterday  before  Judge 
Sinnott.  It  came  up  on  an  order  to  show  cauiie  why 
the  Clerk  should  not^file  the  judgment-roll  in  the  suit 
of  Palmer  against  Kenuett  without  being  paid  the  ac- 
oastomed  fee  of  $1.  In  support  of  the  motion  it  was 
contended  that  there  was  no  statute  authorizing 
the  collection  of  this  f4»e,  and  that  section 
312  of  the  Code  did  not  anply  to  the  Ma- 
rine Court.  Counsel  cittnl  from  the  various 
statutes  oi^nizing  the  court,  aud  stated  lliat 
the  questiou  had  once  l>efore  been  ntised  and  thut  a 
former  Clerk  of  the  court  had  i-uspended  the  oolltjc- 
tion  of  this  charge  for  a  time.  He  also  cited  from  a 
Special  Term  opinion  of  Judge  Spaulding  un  the  sub- 
ject  of  chai^ng  a  trial  fee.  As  tue  fees  in  this  t-ourt 
are  covered  into  the  City  Treasury,  the  C-orporatiou 
Cotmsel  put  in  an  appearance  against  grantini;  the 
order.  It  was  contended  on  the  part  of  the  Clerk 
that  the  plaintiff's  proper  remedy  was  by  mandamus, 
not  by  such  an  application  as  this.  Also  "that,  by 
tbe  Manne  Court  act  of  187*J,  the  "forms  of  proc- 
ess and  proceedings  prescribed  by  the  Code  for  and 
now  in  ose  in  actions  In  other  courts  of  record 
shall  be  used  In  the  Marine  Court. "  &c.  Counsel 
contended  that  it  was  the  intention  of  the  Legisla- 
ture at  that  time  to  assimilate  the  practice  in  the 
Marine  Court  to  that  In  other  courts  of  recoid,  and 
that  the  language  used  In  the  act  accomplished  this 
inteation.  The  paying  of  the  fee  was  a  "  proceeding 
in  the  action  ;"  it  was  one  of  the  steps'which  had  to 
be  taken  in  the  orderly  coarse  of  an  action,  and  it 
WAS  a  very  necessary  step,  because,  unless  (he  fee 
were  paid  the  Clerk  could  refuse  to  enter  judgment, 
and  he  could  not  be  compelled  to  do  so  without  it. 
The  court  took  tbe  papers. 

Morgan  J.  O'Brien  appeared  for  the  morion,  and 
E.  H.  XiBcombe,  Assistant  Corporation  Counsel,  ap- 
peared in  opposition. 

THE  WAR  COUNCILOR  OE  HESSE. 

On  the  2Gth  ult,  at  the  instance  of  the  Ger- 
man Government,  Eberhard  Weigand,  the  abscond- 
ing Councilor  of  War  of  the  Duchy  of  Hesse,  was 
sent  to  Ludlow-Street  Jail  by  United  States  Commis- 
sioner Osbom,  to  await  examination  on  a  charge 
of  having  embezzled  20,000  fiorins  from  the  treas- 
ory  of  tbe  Duohy,  at  Darmstadt.  On  the  applioation 
of  Mr.  Burke,  counsel  for  the  German  Government, 
the  examination  has  been  twice  postponed  to  awuit 
the  arrival  of  documentary  evidence  from  Germany 
to  be  used  against  the  accused.  Yesterday  the  case 
came  up  again,  ivnd  again  Mr.  Burke  asked  for  a 
postponement  on  the  ground  that  the  evidence  had 
not  yet  arrived.  Judge  Dittenhoefer  strenuously 
opposed  any  further  delay,  uiging  that  the  German 
GTovemmeBt  had  had  ample  time  to  forward  any 
evidenoe  if  they  had  It,  and  that  his  client 
should  not  be  kept  in  jail  awaiting 
the  problematical  result  of  its  inactivity. 
He  a^iued  that  the  German  Government  had  not 
used  due  diligence,  or  that  opposing  cotmsel  was 
guilty  of  laches,  in  not  seeking  information  as  to 
whether  tbe  papers  and  proofs  were  being  prepared 
or  were  on  their  way  to  this  cotmtry. 

Commissioner  Osbom  decided  to  grant  a  further 
adjournment  of  the  case  to  11  A.  M.  on  Tuesday 
next,  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  whether  the 
German  Government  had  forwarded  the  papers  or 
was  using  due  diligence  in  preparing  the  papers  to  be 
forwarded. 


THE  DEALER  IN  CABBAGE-LEAF  CIGARS. 
Aaron  Woblf,  the  itinerant  cigar-dealer  who 
daimed  'Tuesday,  before  United  States  Com- 
missioner Shislds — upon  being  arraigned  fox  not 
paying  bis  special  tax— that  liis  wares  were 
mode  of  cabbage  leaves  and  not  tobacco, 
and  were  consequently  not  taxable,  appeared 
for  farther  examination  yesterday.  He  was  profuse 
in  his  assert^ns  that  he  would  never  again  seU  cigars 
without  a  license,  although,  aa  he  assured  the 
Commissioner,  every  one  might  be  sure  that  cab- 
bage was  the  chief  ingredient  of  his  cigars-  The 
Commt'ssioner  released  him  on  his  own  recog- 
nizance to  await  tha  action  of  the  Grand  Jury,  ro- 
markingthat  the  latter  body  would  probably  bold 
him  liable  under  the  somewhat  vogue  "  Agricdltaral 
act."

ARREST  OF  A  OONFIDBNOE  OPEItATOR. 

A  ni^  giving  the  name  of  Charges  H.  £Uder, 
butwhoisalso  known  as  "H.  D.  Rensselaer,"  "J. 
D.  Young,"  "Bradley,"  "Hunter,''  &c.,  was  ar- 
raigned yesterday,  before  United  States  Commission- 
er Shields,  on  a  charge  of  swindling  Richard  Johnson, 
of  BoonevUIe,  Oneida  County,  in  tills  State,  by  means 
of  a  bogus  lottery  scheme.  It  is  «lleged  that  the  pris- 
oner sent  Johnson  circulars  anoouncing  that  the  lot- 
tery which  was  called  "The  Georgia  3tate"  had 
monthly  drawings,  and  that  its  principal  officers  were 
Gens.  Jubal  T-  Early  and  P.  T.  Beatiregard.  The 
office  of  the  lottery  was  at  No,  943  Eighth-avenue. 
Johnson  invested  $10  in  the  lottery,  rind  was  in- 
fortqe^  hy  'h®  »c£n3ed,  as  alleged,  that  he  bad  drawn 
a  two-story  frame  cottage  iji  Jamaica,  Long  Island. 
He  them  sent  $6,  having  been  informed  that  that 
was  ne^easary  to  cover  some  incidental  expenses, 
and  that  his  deed  would  be  forwarded  as  "  soon  as 
.difiatetttM  audsd."    ttiortlr  aitev  Jehnaoa  iweived 


another  letter,  stating  that  it  would,  "  after  all,"  be 
necessaiT  to  send  ^10  to  pay  the  cost  of  gettinz  the 
deed  perfected,  and  tliis  amoui.t  he  also  transmuted. 
Not  reoeiving  the  de«d,  be  communicateil  with  a 
friend  in  tliis  City.  Col.  Rowan,  who  caused  Elder's 
arrest.  The  latter  at  first  denied  his  identity,  aud 
then  tried  to  escape,  and  was  not  captured*  imiil 
after  a  long  chase.  He  was  held  for  examination  in 
default  of  $1,500  bail.  • 

Before  being  arrested  by  the  United  States  ofBcials 
Elder  was  '  taken  before  Justice  Wandell,  at  the 
Jefferson  Market  Police  Cotirt.  but  it  boine  discov- 
ered that  his  offense  came  within  the  United  States 
laws,  he  was  brought  before  Commisfiioner  Shields, 
with  tbe  above  result. 

THE  BELL-PUNCR  CONSPIRACY, 

ONE  OF  THE  OHIGINATOBS  OP  THE  SWINDLE 
BEFORE  JUSTICE  FLAMMEB — THE  TESTI- 
MONY AGAINST  Hlif  OVERWHELMING— 
ANOTHER  CONDUCTOR  EXPLAINS  THE 
SCHEME  FOR  STEALING  PARES. 

The  bell-ptmch  conspiracy  case  was  again 
i>ef ore  Justice  Flammer,  in  the  Fifty-seventh- street 
Police  Court,  yesterday.  The  affidavit  of  Domimck 
McGtowan,  one  of  the  conductors  who  was  arrested 
for  swindling  the  Second- A  venue  Railroad  Company 
and  given  his  liberty  on  parole,  was  taken-  If  his 
testimony  will  be  beUeved  by  a  jury,  it  settles  be- 
yond question  the  authorship  of  the  conspiracy,  and 
proves  John  McFbersou  and  his  confederate,  John 
Barton,  alias  John  Norton,  to  be  two  of  the  cleverest 
rogues  of  the  day.  McPherson,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered, was  arrested  in  front  oT  the  Astor  House  on 
Monday  evenlqg ;  his  partner,  Barton,  bos  not  yet 
been  found,  and  there  is  no  great  probability  that  he 
is  still  lingering  In  these  parts.  There  are  several 
suspectedconductors  also  at  large  for  whom  warrants 
are  out,  but  their  apprehension  or  escape  is  a  matter 
of  small  consequence,  inasmuch  as  the  streot- 
car  company  does  not  intend  to  prosecute  any  of  its 
tmfaithful  employes  at  this  time.  McGowan, 
who  lives  at  No.  317  East  One  Hundred  and.Thir- 
teenth-street,  positively  identifies  McPherson  as  one 
of  the  men  wlio  led  him  Into  dishonest  paths,  and  he 
confesses  he  had  no  compunctions  of  conscience  in 
following  them.  He  first  met  the  tempter  between 
the  lOth  and  14th  of  July  at  his  [McGowan's]  house. 
A  few  days  previous  to  this,  however,  a  stranger 
jumped  on  his  car  while  on  the  down  trip.  This  man 
afterward  turned  out  to  be  Barton.  The  stranger  in- 
quired if  his  name  was  not  McOowan.  McGowan 
said  it  was,  and  wanted  to  know  how  the  strwiger 
found  it  out.  Barton  then  introduced  hlmfielf,  say- 
ing he  had  been  sent  to  see  him  by  a  mutual  friend, 
whose  name  he  declined  to  give.  While  riding 
down  town  Barton  said  he  knew  of  a 
"  racket  "  whereby  the  bell-puneb  could  be  beaten 
without  detection,  and  volunteered  the  opinion  that 
there  was  a  **  barrel  of  money  "  in  tbe  scheme,  if  it 
were  only  properly  liandled.  McGowan,  who  had 
doubtless  been  racking  his  own  brains  for  some  time 
to  invent  a  "  racket  "  for  the  same  purpose,  told 
Barton,  with  the  air  of  a  man  who  had  given  thought 
to  the  matter  and  knew  whereof  he  spoke,  that  he 
did  not  t>elieve  the  punch  could  be  successfully  cir- 
cumvented. Barton  said,  "the  proof  of  the  pud- 
ding was  in  the  eating."  and  rode  with  McGowan  to 
Peck-slip  for  the  purpose  of  explaining  the  swindle, 
the  conductor  meanwhile  having  joyfully  accepted 
his  offer  of  instruction.  At  the  end  of  the  route  it 
was  found  that  McGowan  did  ngt  have  time 
enough  to  spare  to  admit  of  a  lesson  then, 
so  a  postjionemeut  was  agreed  upon,  until 
teacher  and  pupil  could  meet  ,  at  the 
latter's  hon-ie.  where  thoy  would  be  safe  from  detec- 
tion _  Thev  met  according  to  agreement,  Barton 
bringing  McPherson  along  with  him.  McGowan  being 
still  willing  to  join  iu  the  swindle.  Barton  took  his 
bell-punch  from  him  and  handed  it  to  McPherson. 
He  then  induced  McGowan  to  turn  his  back  to 
McPhei-son,  so  that  he  could  not  witness  the  latter's 
operations.  Of.course,  the  secretsof  the  punch  were  re- 
vealed, and  McGowan  was  given  a  superficial  idea  of 
the  \7ay  in  which  they  could  be  handled  for  his  own 
benefit.  He  admitted,  \vithout  a  motaent's  hesitation, 
that  Barton  was  rjaht  when  he  said  it  was  a  "  good 
thintr."  and  be;.a^ed  to  be  initiated  rijiht  away.  Barton 
and  McPherson  did  not  do  business  in  that  way,  how- 
ever. McGowan  was  told  he  would  have  to  wait  until 
it  had  been  ascertuinM  If  he  was  a  safe  man  to  trust, 
and  if  he  would  be  liberal  in  his  dealings  with  his  iu- 
structors.  The  following  day.  Barton  or  McPherson 
(McGowan  was  not  sure  whiclij  jumped  on  his  car 
again,  and  infuj-med  him  ho  would  have   to   azree   to 

J  my  $1  a  day  oai  of  his  stealings  before  he  wotild  be 
et  into  the  seeret.  McGowan  compromised  on  $5  a 
week,  and  was  then  instructed  how  to  pick  the  punch 
lock,  how  not  to  punch  the  trip-slip,  and  how  to  re- 
verse the  register  of  farce  so  as  to  make  the  number 
in  the  punch  uip^e  with  the  number  indicated  by  the 
trij,-.Hlip.  It  does  not  appear  that  McGowiin  bet-ame 
ver>-  expert  in  defrauilng"  the  company  by  the  new 
method,  though  he  acknowledee?"  that  he  stole  severid 
fares  throagh  its  agency,  nor  does  it  appear  that  he 
paid  Barton  or  McPherson  the  price  agreed  upon  for 
their  instruction. 

WUlifuu  T.  Abbott,  the  conductor  who  Is  sn*)posed 
to  have  been  caught  manipulating  the  punch,  or  to 
have  willincly  revealed  the  scheme  to  the  railroad 
company,  testified  that  he  wa-swith  ilcPhersou  when 
tlie  latter  was  arrested,  and  that  McPherson  said  the 
whole  scneme  had  fallen  through  owing  to  some- 
body's dupli'-ity.  and  that  the  beat  thing  to  do  under 
the  circumstances  was  to  get  ont  of  town  as  speedily 
ns  possible.  He  propcfted  to  go  to  Boston.  Mc- 
Pherson was  then  called  and  qiietstioned  by  Justice 
Hammer.  He  is  an  in tellicenl -looking,  keen-eyed 
man.  and  has  tho  appearance  of  a  mechanic  out  of 
eniidoyuient.  He  eiephatinally  denied  all  the 
allegations  contained  iu  the  affidavits  of  Mc- 
Gowan imd  Abbott,  pmtestod  that  he  never 
had  anything  to  do  with  the  Second-Avenue 
Railroad  Company  or  any  of  its  conductors,  denied 
that  he  had  ever  been  in  the  employ  of  the  Ames  5Ian- 
ufacturin;:  Ctnnpnny,  of  Chieopee.  Mass..  claimed  to 
beloni:  in  Philaiielplda,  where  hLs  reputation  is  good, 
and  lu  geiieml  expressed  the  most  Unib-like  inno- 
cence ctf  everything  charged  against  him.  He  was  coin- 
miiied  in  default  of  $2.O(.t0  bail,  and  elected  to  be 
tried  l>efore  the  Court  of  (General  Sessions. 

The  Ames  Manufacturing  Company  was  repre- 
seutvd  by  counsel  at  the  osamin.ation,  Itliasn.ore 
interest  at  stake  in  the  case  even  th.-m  the  railroad 
comp.iny.  The  latt*r  lost  only  a  few  hundred  dollars 
at  most.  %vhile  the  revelations  of  the  conductors  have 
utterly  destroyed  the  reputation  of  the  bell-pimch, 
and  will  no  doubt  pat  a  stop  to  its  manufacttire  In  its 
present  imperfect  form. 

SUIT  ABOUT  A  BROKEN  CASK  OF  WINE. 

Judge  Blatchford  rendered  a  decision  yester- 
day in  the  United  States  District  Court  in  the  case  of 
Benjamin  Dreyfis  and  others  against  the  stiip  Black 
^awk.  On  June  18,  1876,  the  libelants  shipped  on 
the  Black  Hawk  at  San  Francisco  for  New-York  G7 
pipes  and  balf-pipes  of  California  wine,  for  which 
the  ship  gave  a  bill  of  lading  stating  that  the  cargo 
was  in  good  order  and  condition,  exceplihg  three 
casks  which  had  broken  staves,  and  that  it  was  to  be 
delivered  in  similar  condition  in  New-Tork.  Tlio 
dangers  of  the  .sea,  sweat,  fire,  and  collision  were 
excepted,  and  it  was  also  stipulated  that  the  vessel 
was  not  to  be  accountable  for  breakage,  leak«;e,  or 
must,  provided  the  cargo  was  properly  stowedT  On 
the  arrival  of  the  vessel  in  port  one  of  tbe  pipes  was 
found  to  be  leaking,  with  one  of  Its  heads  crushed 
and  broken,  and  a  very  large  portion  of  its  cor.tents 
gone.  Suit  was  accordingly  brought  to  recover  the 
value  of  the  lost  wine.  Judge  Blatchford  decides  that 
the  breakage  of  the  pipe  is  prima  facie  evidence  of 
neglisence  on  the  part  of  the  vessel  in  handling  or 
stowing  the  pipe.  Although  the  vessel  gave  general 
evidence  of  tne  proper  stowage  of  the  cargo,  it  is  an- 
jmrent  that  the  leakage  was  caused  by  a  violent  blow 
on  tbe  head  of  the  pipe.  In  the  absence  of  any 
stormy  weather,  which  mi^ht  have  caused  the  blow, 
a  decree  is  entered  for  the  libelants,  with  costs,  and  a 
reference  to  ascertain  the  damages. 


THE  PRICE  FOR  WHICH  TO  SHIV  SEji-^ISN. 
John  Williams,  Michael  Hayes,  and  Jobii 
Weinbold  were  recently  expelled  from  membership 
in  the  Seamen's  Boarding-house  Keepers'  Benevolent 
Association  because  they  shipped  sailors  for  $16  per 
month  wages  instead  of  ?18,  the  rate  prescribed  hy 
the  constitution  and  .by-laws  of  the  association.  The 
three  men  began  mandamus  proceedings  in  the  Su- 
pi'eme  Court  In  order  to  bring  about  their  reinstate- 
ment, and  the  matter  was  argued  before  Judge  Vau 
Brunt,  in  Supreme  Cniirt,  Chambers,  yesterday. 
Matthew  P.  Breen,  who  appeared  for  the  men,  claimed 
that  they  had  received  no  notice  of  the  charge  against 
them;  that  their  expulsion  was  "against  public 
policy  and  good  morals;"  aud  thatnnderthe  Shipping 
act  of  Congress  no  on*,  excepting  tlie  Commisjiioner 
imder  that  act,  has  tree  right  to  ship  seamen.  Ex- 
Judce  George  ML  Curtis,  who  represented  the  asso- 
ciation, said  that  the  question  whether  the  men  had 
received  notice  was  at  issue,  and  is  a  question  of  fact  to 
be  decided  by  the  court,  and  that  mere  irregularities 
as  to  the  mode  of  expulsion,  it  good  cause  existed  for 
such  expulsion,  cannot  invalidate  the  decree  of  the 
society  announced  by  a  constitutional  vote,  bi  re- 
gard to  the  Shipping  act  of  Congress,  the  counsel 
contended  that  no  authority  is  vested  in  the  Fed- 
eral Legislature  to  enact  what  individtial  or  class  of 
individuals  should  control  a  certain  branch  of  indus- 
trj'  or  bu.«!inesa,  but  that,  in  point  of  fact,  the  society 
is  acting  under  tlie  direction  of  the  Shipping  Com- 
missioner. The  practical  object  of  the  society,  he 
urged,  is  to  protect  seamen.  Judge  Van  Brunt  took 
the  papers,  reserving  his  decision.

Antliony  Holton.  of  Ko.  :J25  Ecst  Twenty- 
first-Ktreet,  presented  a  most  repulsive  appearance  in 
the  Fiftj'-sevtolh- Street  Pobce  Court  yesterdayraom- 
ing.  His  eye  was  cut,  one  side  of  bis  face  was 
braised  to  blackness,  and  there  were  fonr  gap'jig 
cuts  in  his  head,  which  were  only  imjwrfectly  con- 
cealed bv  bandages.  He  charged  Philip  Einsfeld,  tbe 
landlordof  the  house  in  which  he  lived,  with  having 
a^&ntilted  him.  Tbe  prisoner  asserted  that  Holton, 
while  intoxicated,  broke  in  his  door,  and  struck  him 
twice  in  the  face.  He  did  not  retaliate  nntil  he  was 
seized  bv  the  throat  and  dragged  abont  the  floor  and 
had  his  life  threatened.  At  this  critical  jnncture  his 
wife  handed  him  a  club,  and  with  its  aid  he  pounded 
Holton  into  his  present  semblance.  The  prisoner 
was  held  for  examination  at  his  own  request.

Those  trustful  persons  who  expect  that 
the-furt-e  of  public-  upitiiou  can  ever  iuJuee 
Tammany  Hall  to  give  good  goverumeut  to 
t)iis  City  would  do  well  t<j  devote  some 
atteutic'U  to  the  receut  ehanges  among  the 
employes  in  Washin<:tou  Market,  iu  the 
tV.utroller's  ofliee,  ai;J  in  tiie  Fire  Depart- 
i/ieut.  Til  every  ciise  these  changes  have 
"been  made  at  the  dictation  of  politieiaus 
>vho  liave  a  hun<,Ty  crowd  of  followers  to 
satisfy,  and  whosu  '•  claims  ■'  must  always 
1i:ke  precedence  of  the  public  "interest.  In 
the  majority  of  cases  a.  competent  man 
has  been  removed  to  make  way 
lor  an  incompetent  one;  .some  "worker" 
in  the  dirty  paths  of  Democratic 
vc;d  politics  has  takeir  the  place 
of'  a  man  wjiose  character  and 
BbiUty  liHve  been  proved  by  years  of 
taithf  ul  service.  It  is  perfectly  natural  that 
the  ignorant  and  \-ulgar  person  who 
is  the  head  of  the  City  Trea.sury  a-s 
well  as  of  the  Tammanj-  organization 
f'hould  seek  to  promote  men  who  possess 
the  low  type  of  political  ability  which  alone 
he  is  able  to  appreciate.  But  even  assum- 
ing that  he  has  sense  enough  to  see 
tliat  iu  attempting  to  manage  public 
business  with  such  tools  he  must  in- 
evitably come  to  grief,  it  still  fol- 
lows that  he  cannot  afford  to  place 
himself  iu  opposition  to  the  working 
of  the  system  which  made  .  him  what 
he     is.  The      support     and ;  c6nlidene  e 

of  Tammany  Hall  is  of  much  more 
Importance  to  Controller  Kelly  than 
the  interests  of  the  City,  and  when  the  two 
conflict,  as  they  always  must,  he  has  no 
oQoice  but  to  let  the  intere-sts  of  the  City 
',ake  care  of  themselves. 

The  long  list  of  office-bearers  and  dele-' 
'gates  elected  at  the  primaries  of  the  '-In- 
dependent "  Republican  Associations,  which 
was  printed  in  The  Times  of  yesterday,  may 
suggest  to  some  people  the  idea  that  the 
party  is  disorganized  and  divided,  and  that 
its  efforts  on  the  Fall  election  w-ill  be  para- 
lyzed by  personal  feuds  and  local  quarrels. 
Ve  see  in  the  squabbles  of  local  district 
organizations  no  ground  for  any  such  con- 
clusions. We  confess  our  inability  to  per- 
ceive the  need  of  calling  into  being  a  fidl- 
flec'.ged  "  Anti-Custom-house  "  Party  at  the 
very  time  when  the  Custom-house  has  been 
«< impelled  to  withdraw  from  active  politics, 
Jmd  it  does  not  tend  to  make  the 
matter  any  clearer  to  find  a  goodly 
proportion  of  discharged  Custom-house 
clerks  among  the  patriots  who  have 
developed  so  strong  a  desire  to  have  the 
partj  emancipated  from  official  control. 
But  this  much  may  be  taken  for  granted  : 
that  the  membership  of  both  sets  of 
district  associa.tion3  ■  does  not  include 
much  more  than  'ten  per  cent,  of 
fhe  full  Republican  vote  of  the  city ; 
■that  the  party  ■  vote  will  be  east 
without  much  rofereuce  to  the  squab 
bles  between  ■  "Tegulars"  and  "indepen- 
dents ; "  that  their  differences  are  quite  as 
likely  to  lead  to  a  rivalry  in  bringing  a  better 
t}"^.©  of  men  iato  the  party  councils  as  to  any 
l«i3  desirable  results,  and  that  "  selling 
orat "  to  the  enemy  by  either  side  is  less  lia- 
7jle  to  escape  detection  and  punishment  than 
heretofore. 

"The  address  made  by  the  Chadnnaa  of  the 
ReguJar  Republican  Association  of  the 
Tweaty-flrst  Assembly  Dislxiot  is  a  good 
Batnplo  of  the  kind  of  manifesto  which  a 
little  healthy  opposition  is  apt  to  evoke. 
Disreputable  as  have  been  the  character 
and  tactics  of  much  of  the  opposition 
w'liich  has  finally  resolved  itself  into 
».  rival  committee  in  this  district, 
"that  opposition  still  retains  the  support  of- 
some  respectable  men,  and  the,  very  fact  of 
its  existence  has  stimulated  th9  regular  or- 
ganJTiitioa  to  efforts  wUoli  have  had .  the 


most  gratifyiEg  reenlt.i  o-i  the  vote 
rocorici  at  the  polls.  The  riddress 
of  Aid»:r;:ii-i  Co'*"LL.(i  may,  ts  »  di>ul)tliig 
member  sug^esU-i,  be  "  rose-coIc-eJ,''  but 
it  ce.'-t!.ir.iy  vmbooieo  er.onjjh  of  w'iJ  I'antto 
j'iitify  the  titit  elaia:ed  for  the  ^isi-icl  of 
being  tUe  "  EaiUier  Republican  L)isirict''  of 
tlio  City.  ^  The  work  so  success- 
fully done  at  Harlem  can  be  prof- 
itably imitated  in  other  quarters, 
and  the  existence  of  rival  claimants  to 
the  titi»^of  representative  Republicans  may 
faimy  enough  be  expected  to  stimulate  the 
activity  of  certain  associations  which  have 
been  more  remarkable  for  looking  after  the 
interests  of  a  little  knot  of  perpetual  dele- 
gates and  office-bearers  than  after  the  inter- 
ests of  the  party. 


The  trial  of  Mr.  Ellis,  the  Bank  Superin- 
tendent,is  drawing  to  a  close,  and  Mr.  Ellis' 
counsel  was  engaged  yesterday  iu  summing 
up.  The  testimony  which  has  been  pub- 
lished does  not  make  a  strong  ease  against 
the  Superintendfent  on  the  only  charge 
which  is  really  in  question,  viz.,  that  of 
culpable  neglect.  No  one  pretends  that  Mr. 
Ellis  has  iu  the  slightest  degree  been  in- 
fluenced by  improper  motives,  or  by  any 
partiality.  That  he  has  made  errors  of 
discretion  is  probable,  though  it  is  easier  to 
see  what  they  are  now  than  it  would  have 
been  to  see  them  at  the  time.  It  would  be 
an  act  of  gross  injastiee  to  judge  him  as  if 
he  had  had  autocratic  power  in  the  prem- 
ises. His  power  was  really  very  limited, 
and  ho  was  bound  to  consider,  not  only 
the  letter  of  the  law,  but  the  indirect 
consequences  '  of  his  acts.  He  would 
have  been  culpable  if  by  unnooessary 
interference  with  a  bank  he  had  caused 
loss  to  the  depositors.  And  it  looks  very 
much  as  if  the  men  who  are  now  seeking 
his  disgrace  w^ere  actuated  by  motives  far 
less  creditable  than  ilr.  Ellis'  own.  There 
is  nothing  in  his  action,  as  far  as  we  have 
seen,  so  culpable  as  would  be  the  conduct 
of  Senators  trjiug  to  carry  out  a  political 
bargain  through  the  form  of  an  impeach- 
ment trial. 

It  is  not  a  little  amusing  to  read  the  ac- 
count of  the  reception  of  the  officers  and 
men  of  the  iron-c  lad  Huuscar  by  the  people 
of  Lima.  A  genuine  triumph,  with  laurel 
crowns,  processions,  and  other  demonstra- 
tions of  pride  aud  respect,  awaited  the  con- 
quering heroes  as  they  landed.  These  men 
were  rebels,  for  all  their  gallantry,  and  were 
running  away  with  a  Peruvian  man-of-war 
when  they  were  attacked,  as  a  piratical  crew, 
by  British  cruisers.  Theskill  with  whichthey 
beat  off  the  British,  however,  was  so  grate- 
fully acknowledged  by  the  Peruvians  that 
garlands  and  triumphal  arches  are  not  good 
enough  for  men  who  would  have  been 
haiigcil  with  great  satisfaction  if  they  had 
not  been  lucky  enough  to  fight  and  beat  a 
foreigner  before  they  gave  up  their  ship  to 
the  national  authorities. 


CAL.SE  AXD  EFFECT. 

We  have  frequently  had  occasion  to  point 
out  iu  tliese  columns  the  demoralizing  ef- 
fect which  was  sure  to  follow  certain  finan- 
cial and  economical  mea.-^urus  pursued  by 
the  Federal  Goveruuieut,  and  especially  its 
persistent  refusal  to  pay  off  the  demand 
notes  which  were  circulating  as  mouey. 
These  notes  have  now  been  out  nearly  fif- 
teen years,  or  one-half  the  time  allotted  to 
an  average  generation.  Men  who  were  just 
euteringouaffairswhen  they  were  first  issued 
are  nowiutheprimeof  lite,  and  a  large  part  of 
those  who  were  at  that  tiiue  actively  eugaged 
in  business,  have  passed  away.  It  would  not 
be  easy  to  overestimate  the  influence  which 
has  been  e.xerted  upon  the  general  opinion 
of  the  mercantile  coiumunity  by  the  steady 
use  as  money  of  notes  which  are  in  reali- 
ty irredeemable  e\-idences  of  debt.  On  the 
one  hand,  those  who  had  been  used  to 
sounder  methods,  and  who  had  seen  applied 
at  intervals,  if  not  regularly,  the  whole- 
some check  of  the  redemption  of  paper  cur- 
rency iu  coin,  have  gradually  retired  from 
business.  On  the  other,  the  younger  men, 
full  of  the  buoyancy  and  energj'  of  youth,  and 
little  inclined  to  recognize  any  un- 
necessary limitations  upon  their  plans  and 
enterprises,  have  grown  up  accustomed  to 
nothing  which  had  the  stability,  the  securi- 
ty, or  the  sobering  tendency  of  real  money. 
Thus  the  great  body  of  the  mercantile  pub- 
lie,  little  adapted  as  they  are  to  any  other 
than  a  superficial  view  of  the  forces  which 
control  trade,  have,  from  one  cause  and  an- 
other, given  themselves  up  to  the  pmsuit  of 
gain  iu  any  way  which  offered,  and  have 
neither  cared  to  know  nor  been  able  to  see 
what  were  the  causes  of  the  constant  fluctu- 
ations to  which  all  operations  have  been 
subjected. 

Yet  these  fluctuations  have  had  a  serious 
effect  uot  only  on  the  prosperity,  but  on  the 
morals  ofphe  country.  They  have  tended  to 
obscure  the  public  mind  to  the  value  of  in- 
dustr}',  Bjjjpenee,  foresight,  and  skill,  and 
create  a  reckless  desire  to  take  great 
chances.  It  is  easier  for  men  to  see  the 
bright  side  than  it  is  to  see  the  dark 
side  of  any  project  of  their  own  con- 
ceiving, aud  where  one  fortune  was  made  in 
the  ups  and  downs  of  speculation  it  was 
more  observed,  longer  remembered,  and  had 
more  inttuence  on  action  than  a  dozen  for- 
tunes lost  by  similar  ventures.  For  years 
men  have  been  constantly  intent  on  the  pos- 
sibilities of  rapid  gain,  and  have  ignored 
the  slower,  more  painful  methods  by  which 
a  sure  competency  is  built  up  on  the 
basis  of  hard  work,  self-denial,  and  sound 
character.  A  peculiar  illustration  of  this 
fact  will  be  recognized  by  all  our  older 
readers  in  the  remarkable  growth,  within 
the  last  twenty  years,  of  the  practice  of 
dealing  on  "  margins,"  and  of  seUiug 
"short"  or  "long,"  not  merely  the  fancy 
stocks  of  the  Broad-street  Exchange,  but  the 
jjroducts  and  mautifactures  of  the  country. 
Everywhere,  in  all  branches,  business  has 
come  to  be  guided,  not  by  the  compara- 
tively steady  forces  of  production  and  con- 
sumption, of  legitimate  supply  and  demand,- 
but  by  hasty  calctdations  as  to  immediate 
and  transient  fluctuations.  In  other  words, 
business  has  tended  to  become  gambling. 

It  need  not  to  be  assumed  that  all 
this  demoralization  is  due  to  the  use  of 
irredeemable  legal-tender  notes.  There 
have  been  a  number  of  other  causes  con- 
tributing to  the  effect,  but  this  has  been 
the  chief,  and  if  this  had  been  firmly  and 
honestly  treated,  the  others  would  have 
been  comparatively  powerless.  There  is  no 
force  knoiru  to  political  economy  so  con- 
stantly aud  effectively  conservative  and 
wholesome  as  the  employment  of  a  currency 
kOonvertible  into  eold — not  "  based"  on  uold. 


nor  "equivalent"  to  gold,  but  for  which 
•gold  must  be  furnished  dollar  for  dollar 
v.-hcnevoi-  i*  is  demanded.  Where  such  a 
o'irrcney  is  employed,  credit  between  indi- 
\i;:;uai3  may  be  unduly  expanded,  embnr- 
ra.¥smcnt  ma*-  cnsi.i',  and  financial  crises  may 
take  place.  But  t"iese  evils  are  aggravated 
exactly  in  proporticn  as  the  cunency  is 
vitiated,  aud  for  an  obvious  reason.  A 
private  debt  is  recognized  as  such,  and  -will 
be  negotiated,  urged,  collected,  and  paid  as 
such.  But  a  debt  of  the  Government,  ex- 
pressed in  a  note,  stamped  as  money,  and 
passing  as  money  from  hand  to  hand,  ceases 
in  most  men's  minds  to  be  looked  upon  as 
a  debt.  It  becomes  in  imagination 
actual  property,  and  this  illusion  begets  a 
brood  of  other  illusions  incalculable  in 
number  and  amount.  If  the  policy  begun 
to  be  applied  by  Mr.  McCuLLOCH, .  for  the 
payment  of  the  legal-tender  notes,  had 
been  firmly  sustained  we  should  not  have 
had  the  present  prostration,  because  we 
should  not  have  had  the  false  money  which 
has  been  the  prolific  parent  of  the  reckless 
speculations  that  have  produced  this  pros- 
tration. It  wovfld  have  been  a  painful  pro- 
cess, no  doubt,  the  redemption  of  the 
legal  tenders,  because  their  employment 
as  money  had  already  borne  extensive 
fruits  ;  but  it  would  have  imposed  on  the 
country  the  very  restraints  of  which  the 
country  was  in  need,  and  the  healthy  dis- 
comfort of  a  moderate  diet  would  have 
been  far  better  for  us  than  the  elation  of 
paper  money  stimulus,  followed  by  the 
distressing  reaction  which  wo  are  now  ex- 
periencing. 

And  it  is  still  true  that  wo  cannot  hope 
for  any  genuine  and  permanent  prosperity 
imtil  we  have  redeemed  the  legal  tenders 
and  rid  ourselves  once  for  all  of  our  illusions 
regarding  them.  So  long  as  wo  retain  this 
potent  element  of  tmcertainty  in  our  busi- 
ness operations  we  must  expect  to  bear  as 
best  we  can  the  troubles  under  which  we 
are  now  groaning.  The  essential  condition 
precedent  to  the  resumption  of  a  sound  com- 
mercial activity  is  the  payment  of  the  legal 
tenders.  As  the  notes  were  not  the  sole 
cause  of  our  difficulties,  so  their  pajtnent 
will  not  remove  all  our  diffieulties,  but  it 
will  go  a  great  way  in  that  direction,  and  it 
is  a  step  which  must  be  tsiken.  There  is 
uothing  which  is  more  likely  to  prolong 
stagnation  and  bring  further  disaster  than  a 
serious  movement  to  postpone  resumption 
beyond  the  date  fixed  by  law. 


THE  VERMOyT  CESTEXyiAL. 

It  is  pleasant  to  wat<:h  the  successive  cel- 
ebrations in  which  the  people  of  the  several 
States  composing  the  Old  Thirteen  now  en- 
gage in  year  after  year.  We  have  entered 
upon  an  era  in  which  we  have  many  anniver- 
saries to  celebrate,  and  all  of  them  are  ad- 
mirably calculated  to  recall  the  struggles  and 
triumplis,  the  prowess  and  sacrifices  of  our 
forefathers.  If  nothing  else  were  accom- 
plished by  these  local  historical  revivals,  they 
are  invaluable  as  quickening  the  interest 
of  our  people  in  all  that  goes  to  make  up 
the  record  of  early  mitioiial  existence.  And 
it  is  not  unlikely  that  many  of  our  citizens 
are  now  learning  more  of  the  history  of  the 
country  than  they  ever  knew  before.,  Th^^ 
orators  who  celebrate  in  eloriuent  periods 
the  labors  aud  achievemeuts  of  the  founders 
of  the  Kcpublie,  while  they  teach  them- 
selves, are  the  teachei*s  of  those  wiio  read 
and  hear.  This  revival  of  historic  learning 
is  a  good  thing.  The  newspapers  and  maga- 
zines teem  with  long-forgotten  lore. 
The  stories  of  battlf-fields.  as  well  as 
the  results  of  patriotic  deliberations,  are 
recalled  to  mind,  and  uo  descendant  of  any 
one  of  the  old  colouial  families  fails  to  re- 
kindle the  tire  of  his  State  pride  or  furbish 
up  his  knowledge  of  a  glorious  past  iu 
which  he  has  some  share.  And  whatever 
maybe  true  of  the  past,  or  of  our  indifference 
to  its  dusty  record,  wo  must  admit  that  it  is 
well  for  a  people  to  delight  iu  the  proud 
achievements  of  its  fathers. 

The  list  of  notable  events  which  mark  our 
colonial  and  revolutionary  period  stretches 
over  many  yeai-s.  The  celebration  of 
the  Mecklenburg  (>'.  C. )  declaration  of 
independence  occurred  iu  IfSTO,  when 
the  one-hundredth  anniversary  of  that  some- 
what misty  performance  was  duly  honored. 
Of  course,  July  4,  1S7(J,  was  the  great 
jVmerican  anniversary  of  the  century, 
though  the  battles  of  Bunker  Hill,  Lexing- 
ton, and  Concord  had  already  been  com- 
memorated in  Massachusetts.  We  have 
only  just  finished  the  Centennial 
Celebration  of  the  declaration  of  the  sov- 
ereignty of  the  State  of  New-'ork.  And 
before  us  we  have  yet  such  notable  events 
as  the  surrender  of  BcRGOYNE  at  Saratoga, 
the  evacuation  of  Philadelphia  by  the  Brit- 
ish, the  final  adoption  of  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment by  the  States,  the  surrender  of 
COBSWALLIS  at  Yorktown,  the  treaty 
of  peace,  the  establishment  of  the 
Government  of  the  United  States, 
and  the  inauguration  of  Washixg- 
TON  as  the  first  President  of  the 
Republic.  Surely  here  are  occasions 
enough  to  arouse  the  patriotic  spirit  of  cel- 
ebration as  well  as  awaken  the  gratefid 
jubilation  of  our  people.  It  will  not  be 
until  IS S9  has  passed  that  we  shall  have 
liad  opportunity  to  observe  the  one  hun- 
dredth anniversary  of  the  most  uotable 
points  in  the  history  of  the  United  Colo- 
nies. Mixed,  with  these  anniversaries  of 
special  national  interest  are  many 
which  have  a  purf^ly  local  value.  The  es- 
taljlishment  of  a  State,  its  creation  and 
birth,  is  not  only  an  event  of  great  impor- 
tance in  the  history  of  civilization,  but  its 
anniversary  is  regarded  by  its  citizens  with 
an  affectionate  enthusiasm  in  which  the 
outer  world  cannot  fully  share.  It  is  a 
family  birthday,  commending  itself 
to  the  tender  regard  of  all  friends 
and  acquaintances,  but  most  spiritedly 
observed  by  the  members  of  the  house- 
hold particularly  affected.  Such  an  anni- 
versary was  that  lately  celebrated  at  Kiugs.- 
ton,  N.  Y.  And  such  another  is  the 
festal  occasion  which  now  engages  the  at- 
tention of  the  Vermonters.  To-day  they 
will  commemorate  the  battle  of  Ben- 
nington, one  of  the  striking  ilulitary 
events  of  the  Revolution.  Yesterday  they 
hand^mely  celebrated  the  one-hundredth 
birthday  of  the  State.  New-Englanders  are 
proverbial  all  over  the  Republic  for  the 
thoroughness  with  which  they  do  whatever 
they  • '  give  their  minds  to,"  and  the  zeal, 
spirit,  and  heartiness  -with  which  "  Vermont 
Day "  was  observed  yesterday  is  not  only 
ample  confirmation  of  »  deserved  reputa- 
tion, but  an  example  of  doing  a  good 
tluzur   well.      The     celebration  _  was  .  caoi- 


itally  carried  out,  aud  -wo  are  eare 
that  the  other  anriversaries  of  the 
week  will  be  ^id  fitlj'  honored.  TTio 
particular  event  which  narks  Aug.  15, 
1877,  in  the  esteem  of  all  Vermonters,  is 
the  separation  of  the  territory  now  known  as 
Vermont,  and  its  erection  into  what  became 
a  sovereign  State.  The  jurisdiction  of  the 
soil  between  the  Connecticut  River  aiid  the 
eastern  boundary  of  New-York  had  been  a 
question  iu  dispute.  The  royal  Governor  of 
New-Hampshire  claimed  it  imder  the  New- 
Hampshire  charter ;  and  Teton,  the  royal 
Governor  of  New- York,  claimed  it  imder  the 
patents  granted  byCHARLEsH.  to  the  Diike  of 
York.  After  a  series  of  proclamations, 
-writs,  and  cross  actions,  during  which  the 
King  decided  that  the  disputed  territory  be- 
longed to  the  Colony  of  New- York,  Ver- 
mont declared  her  sovereignty  as  a  free 
and  independent  State,  and  applied  to  the 
Continental  Congress,  then  sitting  at  Phila- 
delphia, for  admission  into  the  confederacy. 
This  was  in  August,  1777,  and  the  adop- 
tion of  the  State  Constitution,  which  was 
modeled  on  that  of  Pennsj'lvauia,  was 
celebrated  in  Vermont  yesterday. 

It  was  not  imtil  fourteen  years  afterward 
that  Vermont  was  finally  admitted  to  the 
Union.  During  all  that  time  the  spirited 
Vermonters  remained  out  of  the  family  of 
States  rather  than  submit  to  any  curtail- 
ment of  their  boundaries,  or  to  any  abroga- 
tion of  State  dignities.  Dm-ing  this  period 
the  State  existed  as  an  independent  sover- 
eignty, exercising  the  functions  and  privi- 
leges of  an  autonomous  community.  The 
Vermonters  took  then-  share  in  the  struggle 
for  American  independence,  and  while 
the  question  of  the  relations  of  the 
State  to  the  Federal  Union  was  in 
temporary  abeyance,  the  Green  mountain 
boys  won  for  Vermont  a  reputation  for 
bravery,  sturdiness,  and  stubborn  courage 
in  the  fight  which  the  lapse  of  a  century 
has  not  diminished.  So  long  as  American 
military  prowess,  fidelity  to  patriotic  trusts, 
and  steadfast  devotion  under  great  trial  are, 
honored  by  Americans,  the  Vermonters  of 
1777  will  be  held  iu  affectionate  remem- 
brance. The  Green*  Mountam  State  does 
well  to  recall  the  deeds  of  her  founders. 


MODERN  INDIAN  CAMPAIGNING. 

Probably  many  readers  have  asked  them- 
selves the  questiou,  how  it  is  that,  with  all 
the  appliances  of  a  large  and  costly  military 
establishment  at  our  command,  a  band  of 
savages  like  Joseph's  can  repeatedly  hold 
their  own  against  our  troops  on  compara- 
tively even  terms.  A  satisfactory  an8\ver 
to  this  question  would  show  that  since  the 
breech-loading  epoch  the  whole  problem  of 
Indian  warfare  has  been  changed.  To  begiu 
with,  Joseph's  war  should  open  the  eyes  of 
the  country  to  a  truth  long  known  to  the 
Army,  namely,  the  matchless  skill  of  the 
frontier  Indians  as  mounted  infantry  sol- 
diers. The  cavalrymen  of  the  Don  and  the 
Volga,  of  whom  wc  nowadays  hear  much, 
cannot  bo  compared,  for  eflicieucy  as  skir- 
mishers, with  the  dusky  horsemen  of  the 
Columbia  aud  the  Missouri.  The  dashing 
Uhlans,  who  rode  far  and  wide  through 
France  iu  advance  of  the  German  columns, 
were  inferior,  both  as  riders  and  marks- 
men, to  the  red  warriors  who  with  fleet 
ponies  scour  the  Plains  on  either  flank 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  This  superiority, 
in  some  respects,  of  its  barbarian  foes  can- 
not well  be  insisted  upon  by  the  Army  itself, 
lest  the  latter  should  expose  itself  to  a 
satirical  retort.  But  the  fact  is  really  uot 
discreditable  t^j  the  Army  ;  indeed,  the  re- 
markable prowess  of  the  modem  Indian  sol- 
dier ought  to  be  more  thoroughly  taken  iuto 
account  by  the  people,  uot  only  iu  order  to 
determine  how  tmich  we  can  fairly  expect 
of  the  Army,  but  how  large  a  force  we  need 
at  the  North-west. 

It  was  to  meet  the  peculiar  exigencies  of 
Indian  -warfare  on  the  Western  Plains  that 
the  cavalry  iu  our  Army  from  an  early  day 
bore  HO  large  a  ratio  to  the  infantry — a  ratio 
which  the  mere  number  of  regiments  does 
not  fully  show,  because  the  cavalry  regiment 
has  twelve  companies,  (usimlly  subdivided 
into  tlu-ee  battalions  of  four  companies 
each,)  whereas  the  infantry  regiment  has 
but  ten.  When  the  lroi)ps  were  first  sent 
put  to  protect  the  tide  of  emigration  setting 
westward  from  the  Mississippi  and  the  Mis- 
soiuri,  they  foimd  the  Indian  horse-soldier 
even  then,  except  at  long  range,  a  fair 
match,  with  his  bow,  for  the  white  sol- 
dier with  his  carbine  or  his  musket.  As  to 
the  sabre,  it  quickly  lost  its  old  prestige, 
aud  went  out  of  fashion  as  useless.  ^Yhen 
Gen.  Wayne  defeated  the  Indians,  in  17y-i, 
on  the  banks  of  the  Miami,  his  official  re- 
port of  the  action  noted  that  "'  Lieut.  Cov- 
IXOTOX,  upon  whom  the  command  of  the 
cavalry  then  devolved,  cut  down  two  sav- 
ages with  his  own  hand,  aud  Lieut  Webb 
one,  in  turning  the  enemy's  left  flank."  We 
hear  nothing  of  that  sort  now ;  and  what 
the  historic  weapon  of  cavalrymen  has 
since  become  is  told  by  Col.  Bkackett,  iu 
his  history  of  this  arm  of  the  service.  "  The 
sabre  iu  Indian  fighting,"  he  writes,  "  is 
simply  a  nuisance.  It  jingles  abomina- 
bly, and  is  of  no  earthly  use.  If  a  soldier 
gets  close  enough  on  an  Indian  to  use  a  sabre, 
it  is  about  an  even  thing  as  to  which  goes 
under  first."  The  sabre,  in  fact,  nowadays 
has  no  place  in  Indian  campaigning,  save  by 
the  courtesy  of  imaginative  artists.  Cling- 
ing to  and  directing  his  fleet  pony  by  his 
legs  alone,  the  Indian  was  a  dangerous  ene- 
my even  when  armed  only  with  his  bow, 
and  was  able,  Parthian-like,  to  do  great  dam- 
age in  a  running  fight.  His  first  progressive 
step  was  to  get  a  carbiue ;  but  the  tricky 
traders  did  not  always,  at  the  otitset,  sell 
him  the  best,  and  besides,  the  time  required 
for  loading  the  weapon  at  the  muzzle  while 
riding  was  a  clear  objection.  But  when  at 
last  he  obtained  the  breech-loader, 
the  Indian  mounted  soldier  became 
truly  formidable.  The  introduction  of  that 
weapon,  from  which  so  much  advantage 
was  expected  by  our  troops,  turned  the 
scale  of  advantage  to  the  side  of  the  Indian. 
While  the  aim  of  most  of  our  cavalrymen 
from  their  saddles  is  uncertain,  the 
moimted  Indian  preserves  that  traditional 
steadiness  and  accuracy  which  he  had 
w-^hen  his  only  missile  was  the  arrow  or  the 
lance.  He  is  aware  of  this  advantage,  and 
it  gives  him  confidence.  Hardy  and  tough, 
carrying  no  baggage  of  any  sort,  requiring 
very  simple  food,  accustomed  to  endure 
htmgcr,  thirst,  toil,  and  privations  as  no 
white  soldier  can,  ai  bom  horseman,  the  In- 
dian obviously  needed  only  s  weapon  that 
could  be  used  on  horseback  with  the  rapid- 
ity of  the  bow,  and  at  greater  range,  in  or- 
der to  become  a  perfect  soldier  in.  hia  wav — 


and  this  weapon  the  repeatang  carbine  fur- 
nished him.  And  when,  as,  of  course,  gen- 
erally happens  la  pitched  battle,  the  Indian 
dismounts,  and  acts  as  an  infantry  soldier, 
he  has  another  skill,  derived  from  his  htmt- 
ing  habits,  such  as  no  skirmishing  drill  in 
the  schools  will  give — a  perfect  skill  in  tak- 
ing advantage  of  tree,  rock,  or  iuirquality  of 
the  ground,  to  hide  his  stealthy  approach, 
or  his  s-wift  movement  from  point  to  point. 

We  might  go  on  to  another  class  of  sugges- 
tions, based  upon  the  advantages  which  the 
InsJian  derives  from  the  nature  aud  extent 
of  ,the  country  he  campaigns  in,  \)eing  or- 
dinarily able  to  nm  until  he  prefers  to  stop 
and  fight,  and  in  fighting  to  pick  out  a 
grotmd  that  wUl  either  entrap  pursuers  or 
at  least  allow  him  to  escape.  But  it  is 
enough  for  otir  purpose  at  present  to  show 
that  if  .Congress  could  figure  to  itself,  in 
place  of  the  various  Indian  tribes  now  so 
strangely  underrated  as  efficient  troops,  the 
choicest  soldiers  of  the  world,  equally  hard 
to  manage  and  equally  liable  to  take  the 
war-path,  it  might  understand  better  than 
now  what  force  should  be  kept  at  hand  for 
protection  in  the  North-west  until  the  prob- 
lem of  Indian  civilization  is  solved. 


SULEIMAN  PASHA'S  ADVANCE. 

The  daring  game  played  by  the  Russians 
two  months  ago  is  now,  to  all  appearance, 
about  to  be  retorted  upon  themselves.  It 
will  be  remembered  that  the  capture  of  the 
Schipka  Pass  was  brought  about  by  Gen. 
GouBKHO's  passing  through  an  adjacent  de- 
file to  assail  it  in  the  rear.  This  lesson  has 
not  been  lost  upon  the  active  General  now 
commanding  in  Roumelia  ;  and  a  glance  at 
the  map  will  suffice  to  explain  h,is  plan  of 
action.  Between  the  Schipka  and  Demir- 
Kapu  Passes,  now  held  by  the  Russians, 
lies  the  Fereditseh,  Tvardyteh,  or  Tvar- 
ditza  Pass,  traversed  by  a  horse-path, 
which,  zigzagging  over  the  ridge  of  Tvar- 
dytchka-Planina,  debouches  at  length  upon 
the  Bulgarian  town  of  Hetena,  on  the  high- 
way running  south-east  from  Timova  to 
Slivno.  Suleiman  Pasha  has  already  ad- 
vanced as  far  as  the  village  at  the  mouth  of 
the  defile,  tmopposed  save  by  unfavorable 
weather  ;  and  should  he  succeed  in  passing 
the  moimtains  and  assailing  the  Russians  in 
the  rear,  while  Rassam  Pasha,  fltished  with 
his  recent  victory  at  Kalofer,  attacks  them 
in  front,  they  will  find  it  very  hard  to  hold 
their  ground.  And  should  they  be  forced 
to  give  way,  all  the  fruits  of  the  bold  dash 
into  Roumelia  will  be  forfeited,  Russia  will 
lose  her  sole  remaining  trophy,  and  the 
present  unpopularity  of  its  originator.  Gen. 
lONATlEFP,  will  be  overpoweringly  increased. 

This,  indeed,  is  the  really  important  event 
of  the  last  few  days.  It  matters  little 
whether  Rustchuk  is  or  is  not  really  on  fire, 
whether  it  was  the  Russian  or  the  Turkish 
Army  that  lost  the  battle  of  Topkhani5, 
whether  fact  or  fiction  be  responsible  for 
the  sensational  "atrocities."  But  the 
threatened  passage  of  the  Balkan  by  30,- 
000  excellent  troops  to  join  Mehemet  Ali's 
00,000  in  Bulgaria,  aud  menace  the  Rus- 
sian left  with  an  attack  by  superior  num- 
bers, is  a  contingency  which  no  one  can  call 
tmimportaiit.  Even  were  the  assault  repelled, 
the  establishment  of  fortified  camps  at  Kas- 
grad  and  Osman-Bazar.  held  by  nearly 
100,000  men  with  Turkey's  best  General  at 
their  head,  aud  possesauig  air  open  line  of 
communication  witli  the  quadrilateral  in 
their  rear,  would  put  an  end  to  Russia's 
conquest  of  Bulgaria  for  this  year  at  least. 
It  is  true  that  at  present  the  Turkish  Gen- 
eral seems  disposed  to  content  himself  with 
the  possession  of  the  pass  itself  ;  but  should 
a  favorable  opportunity  preseut  itself,  it  is 
hardly  likely  that  he  will  stop  there.  The 
whole  situation  is  very  much  that  of  the 
PvTeneau  campaign  of  1H13,  when  Wel- 
LINOTOX,  having  met  and  checked  Soult's 
advance  through  the  Maya  Pass,  force<i  him- 
back  into  the  mountains,  expelled  the  French 
from  Pampeluna,  and  then,  by  a  skillful 
march  through  an  adjoining  defile,  estab- 
lished his  whole  Army  on  the  soil  of  France. 
Whether  the  parallel  will  hold  good  to  the 
end  remains  to  be  seen. 


A  MAINE    SCEVOL-MISTBESS. 

Maine  is  in  many  respects  one  of  the  most 
remarkable  of  the  New-England  States.  It 
is  situated  beyond  Harvard  College,  and  is 
bounded  on  the  north  by  bears  and  salmon, 
and  on  the  south  by  a  great  deal  of  small 
islands.  To  one  of  these  latter  a  corre- 
spondent of  the  Evening  Post  has  penetrated, 
aud  in  one  of  his  letters  to  that  venerable 
and  veracious  sheet  he  describes  the  habits 
and  customs  of  the  Maine  school-mistress  in 
a  way  that  would  be  as  incredible  as  it  is 
blood-curdling  were  the  description  pub-- 
lished  in  any  less  trustworthy  paper. 

When  this  correspondent  announced  a 
few  days  since  his  discovety  of  a  Maine 
school-mistress  over  six  feet  high,  with  spec- 
tacles in  proportion,  there  was  a  tendency 
among  irreverent  men  to  ^-iew  the  matter  as 
an  evidence  of  the  villainous  quality  of  the 
whisky  obtainable  in  the  pioneer  prohib- 
itory State.  This  view  was  not  altogether 
irrational.  If  the  Western  statesman's 
whisky  produces  visions  of  gigantic  rats, 
why  should  not  the  whisky  of  Maine  force 
upon  its  votary  terrific  exhibitions  of  super- 
human school-teachers  t  AVhether  any 
newspaper  correspondent,  no  matter  how- 
strong  he  might  be,  could  survive  an  attack 
of  imaginary  school-mistresses  is  more  than 
doubtful.  Most  men  on  seeing  a  legion  of 
spectacled  phantoms  swarming  about  their 
pillows,  and  writhing  around  their  bed-posts, 
would  immediately  die  of  horror  and  de- 
spair. The  very  fact  tliat  the  Evenrinej  Post's 
correspondent  is  still  living  is  an  argument 
against  the  alleged  alcoholic  nature  of  his 
visions,  and  besides,  it  were  little  less  than 
blasphemy  to  fancy  that  any  correspondent 
of  that  respectable  sheet  ever  drank  any- 
thing stronger  than  black  tea,  with  three 
lumps  of  sugar  to  the  cup. 

We  may  then  assume  that  beyond  any 
doubt  there  is  or  was  a  Maine  school-mis- 
tress of  more  than  six  feet  in  height.  We 
can  imagine  with  what  terror  she  inspired 
the  small  boys  who  sat  under  her  shadow, 
when  from  her  vast  cold  height  there  fell 
upon  them  warnings  against  the  vice  of  jog- 
gling and  threatenings  of  punishments  for 
the  throwers  of  pea-nut  shells.  Such  a 
school-mistress  must  have  found  little  diffi- 
culty in  preserving  discipline.  The  mo- 
mentum of  her  hand  falling  through  space 
at  the  rate  of  sixteen  feet  per  second 
would  have  crushed  and  riven  the  strongest 
trousers,  and  if  she  ever  attempted  to  use  the 
ruler,  either  that  weapon  or  the  incidental 
small  boy  mnst  have  been  reduced  to  fine 
solinters.   Probably  she  rarely  bad  occasion 


to  resort  to  these  extreme  measures,  but 
there  was  unquestionably  a  reserved  power 
of  massacre  in  her  lofty  and  stupendous 
frame  that  it  -would  be  hard  to  overestimate. 
Nevertheless,  she  was  once  compelled  to 
quell  a  rebellious  youth,  andhenmeans  in  so 
doing  was  as  complete  as  her  method  was 
bold  and  marvelous. 

Among  the  scholars  of  this  extraordinary 
school-mistress  was  a  so-called  boy  of  be- 
tween 20  and  21  years  of  age.  He  was 
tall,  heavy,  and  obstinate,  and  assumed 
that  because  his  teacher  was  an  alleged 
woman  he  could  safely  defy  her.  Of 
the  precise  nature  of  the  crimes  which 
brought  upon  him  his  final  catastrophe  we 
are  not  explicitly  informed,  though  there 
is  reason  to  believe  that  he  executed  upon 
the  blackboard  a  caricature  of  the  school- 
mistress, which,  although  in  point  of  ex- 
ecution it  compared  favorably  with  the 
pictures  in  the  Capitol  at  Washington— the 
boy  never  having  learned  to  draw — was 
adapted  to  bring  that  elongated  lady  into 
derision.  At  all  events  he  sinned  past  all 
pedagogical  forgiveness,  and,  at  9:45  A.  M. 
on  his  last  earthly  morning  was  ordered 
to  approach  the  school-mistress's  desk,  and 
undergo  his  righteous  pimishment. 

The  more  one  thinks  of  it,  the  more  in- 
credible dofls  the  affair  seem.  This  boy  was 
in  size,  and  almost  in  years,  a  full-grown 
man,  and  in  Maine,  it  should  be  remem- 
bered, men  grow  so  tall  that  a  case  of  cold 
in  the  head  resulting  from  wet  feet  is  almost 
unkno-wn.  The  school-mistress  was  a  woman 
— at  least  to  some  extent.  How  then  can 
we  believe  that  a  woman  could  have  pub- 
licly inflicted  upon  an  apparent  man  the  in- 
dignity of — in  short,  of  punishing  him  ? 
But  we  have  the  explicit  assertion  of  the 
Evening  Post  that  the  boy  in  question  was 
thoroughly — that  is  to  say,  that  the  school- 
mistress punished  him.  The  Post  writer, 
indeed,  describes  the  very  mode  of  punish- 
ment with  a  frankness  and  a  minuteness  of 
detail  upon  which  only  the  boldest  of  men 
could  venttrre.  He  tells  us  that  the  school- 
mistress seized  her  victim,  stretched  him 
across  her  prodigious  lap,  and  then — . 
But  humanity  demands  that  at  this  point 
in  the  narrative  somebody  should  drop  some 
veils.  The  Ecerwig  Post  cannot  tell  a  lie, 
except,  of  course,  when  some  exigency  re- 
quires that  form  of  jotirnalism,  and  we  must, 
therefore,  believe  that  in  the  State  of  Maine 
a  youth  of  nearly  legal  manhood  has  been — 
well,  let  us,  once  for  all,  say  sp-uk-d — by  a 
fierce  and  fearless  school-mistress. 

No  human  being  has  ever  seen  a  particle 
of  that  overgrown  boy  since  the  moment  of 
his  punishment.  Not  so  much  as  a  Umb, 
or  a  finger,  or  a  jack-knife,  or  a  top  has 
ever  been  fotind  aud  identified  as  part  of 
his  remains.  We  are  forced  to  the  convic- 
tion that,  with  the  first  blow  from  his 
teacher's  far-descending  palm,  he  was 
either  dispersed  in  the  shape  of  fine  dust  or 
resolved  into  his  elements.  The  Evening 
Post  dwells  too  lightly  upon  this  part  of  the 
story.  In  fact  it  omits  it  altogether;  but 
it  does  not  require  much  imagination  to  pic- 
ture the  inevitable  result  of  the  large  boy's 
punishment. 

Such,  we  are  led  to  believe,  is  the  average 
Maine  school-mistress,  and  such  is  the  fate 
of  the  Maine  scholar  who  defies  her  author- 
ity. The  story  teaches  us  that  Maine  is  an 
admirable  place  to  which  to  send  other 
people's  children  in  order  that  they  may  en- 
joy the  benefits  of  careful  and  thorough  in- 
struction, and  ftilly  accounts  for  the  fear- 
lessness with  which  "  Gail  Hamilton''  now 
assails  lai-ge  Western  editors.  It  must  be, 
however,  distinctly  understood  that  the 
Evening  Post  does  not  mention  "  Gail  Ham- 
ilton's" name  in  connection  with  the  mat- 
ter. However  much  any  newspaper  may 
dislike  that  ladj-'s  poUtieal  scoldings,  noth- 
ing would  justify  the  publication  of  inci- 
dents iu  her  early  life  concerning  which 
she  herself  has  hitherto  chosen  to  be  silent, 
no  matter  how  clearly  such  incidents  might 
illustrate  her  tremeudous  energy  iu  punish- 
ing her  enemies. 


OBITVAKY. 

^VILUAM  LOKOMAX. 

A  dispatch  from  London  ye&terday  announceQ 
tbe  death  of  "^VilUam  Longmau.  a  member  of  an  old 
London  publishing  firm,  which  is  as  well  kno-wn 
throughout  England  aa  that  of  Harper  &  Brothers  is 
iu  this  countr^^  Thomas  Longman,  who  was  bom  in 
Bristol  in  1699.  was  the  first  of  the  Longman  family 
to  enter  the  publishing  .business.  Iu  1725.  after  ser\-- 
lug  an  apprenticeship  of  niue  years,  he  became  a  part- 
uer  of  John  Osbom,  a  bookseller  and  stationer,  in 
Patemoster-row,  London,  the  same  site  being  occu- 
pied to  the  present  day  by  hi^  successors. 
\  nephew  of  Mr.  Longman,  whose  surname  was  also 
Thomas,  was  admitted  as  a  partner  iu  175-t,  The 
latter  subsequentlv  entered  into  partnership  with 
Mr.  Rees.  Thomas  Norton  Lou^^an,  son  of  the 
preceding,  and  father  of  \VilIiam~,who  has  just  died, 
became  a  member  of  the  tirm  in  179'J,  which  at 
that  time  was  one  of  the  largest  in  London.  He  re- 
mained with  the  firm  for  upward  of  50  years,  aud  for 
a  long  time  was  at  its  head.  Various  partners  Were 
admitted  from  time  to  time,  and  the  style  of  the 
tirm  underwent  numerous  changes,  Lul  the  name  of 
Longman  was  the  one  by  which  it  was  best  known. 
Willmm  and  Thomas  Lougmau  succeeded  their 
father  on  his  death  in  ld-1:^,  and  at  the  present 
time  the  style  of  tho  firm  is  Longmans,  Green, 
Reader  &  Dyer. 

Early,  in  the  present  century  tbe  Lon^ians  be- 
came proprietors  of  the  vAlual>le  copjTigUt  of  Lindley 
Murray's  Knglish  Gfatnrnar,  besides  which  thev  puij- 
lisbed  some  of  the  first  poems  of  Coleridge,  \Vords- 
worth,  and  i>outbey.  Bcott'a  Lay  o/Vie  Lust 2iingtrel 
was  also  published  by  them,  as  were  several  of  the 
■' Waverley  Novels."  Thom.ls  Moore's  genius  was 
first  recttgnized  by  them,  and  for  a  long  time  they 
were  his  exclusive  publishers.  -\mong  other 
autliors  famous  iu  English  literature  for 
whom  thej"t  were  publishers  are  Macaulay. 
Proude,  Jerrold,  Greville,  l>r,  vVmold,  Elarl  Husseil, 
Thirweil,  Mill  Disraeli,  Sydney  Smith,  and  many 
others.  In  182t>  they  became  proprietors  of  tLe 
Edxnburg  Revino.  and  between  18-9  and  1S46  pub- 
lished the  133  volumes  of  Lardner's  Cabinet  Cyclo- 
pedia, Rees'  Cyclopedia,  which  was  a  recoustniction 
of  the  old  Chambers' t  Cyclirpcdia,  bv  Dr.  Abraham 
Itees,  was  another  important  enterprise  of  the  Long- 
man firm,  from  which  they  reaped  large  profits. 

\VUliam  Longman,  besides  being  a  most  sagacious 
publisher,  was  the  author  of  niunerous  works,  the 
principal  of  which  are  The  llistury  of  Ute  Lire  and 
Times  of  Edward  III.  and  Lecturer  on  the  History  of 
England  from  Ute  Earliest  Tiin^  to  the  DeaUt  uf  King 
Edward  II.  He  -was  also  the  editor  of  very  many 
books  published  by  his  firm. 


JTR-SEERMAK  OX  THE  criiSEXCY. 
-  The  Knoxville  (Iowa)  Voter  says  that  in  a  let- 
ter, dated  July  28,  which  Secretary  Sherman  has  ad- 
dressed to  ex-GoT.  Stone,  of  that  State,  he  says : 
*  "There  has  been  retired  of  legal-tendfer  notes  since 
the  4tli  of  March  last  only  the  stmi  of  $4,475,132." 
But  in  this  connection  the  .Secretary-  further  says 
there  has  been  no  real  contraction  ot  the  currency, 
as  a  knowledge  of  tho  facts  and  i)ie  law  will  readily 
show.  Upon  this  point  Secretary  Sberm;.n  says :  "In 
this  connection  permit  me  to  state  that  the  third  sec- 
tion of  the  actof  Jan.  14, 1875.  (the  Kesumption  act.) 
contains  the  only  authority  under  wiiich  lexal  tender 
notes  can  be  retired  from  circulatiou.  Under  the 
provisions  of  that  section,  which  removed  the  Umitof 
issue  of  national  bank  notes,  it  was  made  the  duty  of 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasary.  upon  further  issue  of 
such  bank  notes,  to  retire  the  legal  tender  United 
States  notes  in  excess  of  *3OO,l>00,0O0  to  the 
amount  of  80  per  cent,  of  the  sum  of  the  national 
bank  notes  so  issued.  It  will  b«  8f«n  that  for  every 
$80  of  legal  tender  note*  thus  retired  there  has  beeii 
issued  of  national  bank  notes  thr-  sum  of  $100. 
which  notes  are  redeemable  in  legal  tondeT  notes 
upon  their  presentAtion  at  the  bank  issuing  tiiem, 
and  to  secure  such .  redemption  the  '^vemment 
holds  an  ample  deposit  of  United  States 
bonds  xnade  by  the  respective  banks  for  that 
purpose."  Still  "farther  figares  are  given  in  the  same 
letter  from  tbe  Secretary,  and  it  is  chtlmed  that  there 
is  now  more  money  outstanding  than  there  was  at

To  such  readers  of  Ths  Txmes  of  Monda; 
last  as  chanced  to  see  the  Syracuse  Journal  of  Tues 
day.  the  hitter's  leading  "  editorial  "  article  on 
"  Georgia's  Repudiation  "  may  have  had  some  famil- 
iar fe.-^ares. 

A  woman  in  Rome,  Oueida  County,  who  was 
not  invited  to  the  wedding  of  a  neighbor,  stole  the 
wedding  cake  through  the  pantry  window,  and  dis- 
tributed it  freely  among  the  crowd  which  had  assem- 
bled In  front  of  the  house. 

A  wotnan  in  Lewiston.  Me.,  who  has  been 
married  s'  dozen  years,  has  just  moved  for  the 
twentieth  time,  aud  now  avers  that  before  she  will 
move  again  she'll  heap  her  household  goods  into 
one  chaotic  mass  and  set  fire  to  them. 

The  Philadelphia  Ledger  ootids  a  preal  'amotmt 
of  building  going  on  in  that  city,  although  numer. 
ous  signs  of  "  to  let  "  and  "  for  sale  "  are  to  be  seen 
in  almost  every  block.  Low  prices  for  materials  and 
low  wages  for  workmen,  in  its  estimation,  £oooiui] 
for  tjie  activity. 

Ex-Gov.  Jeiikitis  says  that  he  did  not  know 
he  was  talking  to  a  reporter  when  ho  so  freely  criti- 
cised the  Georgia  Constitutional  Convention,  of  whicl 
he  is  the  President.  Besides,  he  did  uot  intend  tc 
speak  so  disparagingly  as  the  published  account  would 
lead  one  to  think. 

Hon.  F.  Fish,  of  Fultonville.  declines  to  be  a 
candidate  for  the  nomination  for  Justice  of  the  ^u. 
preme  Court,  and  thinlcs  it  is  so  entirely  manifest 
that  the  vacancy  to  be  filled  belongs  to  the  northern 
part  of  the  district  th.it  the  nomination  will  be  con- 
ceded to  that  section. 

Five  young  gentlemen  in  Columbus,  Ohio, 
thought  it  would  be  a  go<.id  joke  to  drive  off  with  i 
team  which  a  friend  had  procured  to  trive  some  yoting 
ladles  a  ride.  Afterward  they  were  taken  into  cus* 
tody  on  the  charge  of  horse-stealing,  and  are  greatly 
surprised  at  the  turn  the  joke  has  taken. 

According  to  the  Kiug^tou  Freeman,  the  me- 
teoric shower  of  S.atuniay  evening  was  verr  fine.  \ 
meteor  as  large  as  a  man's  head,  it  says,  passed  over 
Saueerties  that  evening,  between  10  .and  11  o'clock, 
with  a  hissing  so-jud.  similar  to  that  made  by  a  sky- 
rocket in  passing  throu-^h  the  air,  aud  it  illuminated 
the  streets  for  se^■e^al  seconds. 

The  late  W.  L.  .1.  Kidcrlcn.  of  Philadelphia, 
bequeathed  Stil.OOO  in  bonds  to  the  Protestant  Epis- 
copal Hospital  of  that  city;  ajid  $5.0O0  to  the  Amer- 
ican B  ible  Society  uf  New-Vork.  and  $5,000  to  the 
American  Tract  Society  in  New- York.  uu«ler  the  con- 
dition tliat  from  the  intert-sl  arising  therefrom  a  col- 
porteur shall  be  c.mstaiitly  kept  iu  the  field. 

Gov.  Pillsbury,  of  Minnesota,  has  lately  jpup 
neyed  through  the  grasshopper  district  in  the  north- 
western portion  of  that  State.  He  found  that  the 
people  in  many  cases  were  in  verj-  stndgfatened  cir- 
cumstances, but  they  are  courageous  aiid  full  of 
hope,  belie\-iug  that  the  pests  have  now  left  them 
"for  good.'-  aud  that  their  troables  are  therefore 
nearly  at  an  end. 

Tbe  3Iontg-iunery  (Ala. )  .4fJi-ertiser  savs  that 
the  plan  of  net  weights  for  cotton,  (t.  e..  deducting 
for  the  weight  of  bagging  and  ties,)  comweuded  b^ 
the  National  Cotton  Exchange,  does  not  meet  with 
acceptance  in  that  section.  The  most  favored  plan, 
it  says,  if  one  iiiiisi  l»e  adopted,  is  to  stipulate  as  to 
the  weight  of  b^^^ing  and  ties  aud  the  amount  aud 
number  of  each  to  be  used,  and  to  deduct  for  any  ex- 
tra weight. 

Gen.  Edward  S.  Brag^.  a  Democratic  Con- 
gressman from  ^Visconsin,  says  that  he  r,-ill  vote  for 
William  R.  Morris*»n.  of  Illinois,  f or  Speit-Ker.  £asteru 
lea-^ership  of  the  party  Itaviug  been  uufonunate. 
He  t'hinks  the  Eastern  Lemocrats  are  too  much  the 
friends  of  capital,  and  always  afraid  of  "  hurting  the 
business  interests."  whic'u  appear  generally  pretty 
well  able  to  lake  care  of  themselves.  Gen.  Bra^g  is 
opposed  to  subsidies  aud  to  any  tinkering  with  the 
currency  at  present. 

The  Mobile  (Ala.)  If ry titer  continues  to  de- 
light in  dismal  forebodings  for  the  North.  In  the 
latest  issue  received.  ^;n-aking  of  the  "apparent 
restoration  "  of  oruor  in.  this  section,  it  saj-s  ;  "  But. 
while  the  surface  of  eve:its  is  calm  and  serene,  the 
storm  still  rages  underneath',  and  tbe  cLtmmunistia 
element  is  darkly  but  earnestly  at  work  undermining 
the  fomidations  of  society,  aud.  like  volcanic  erup- 
tions, will  break  out  in  streams  of  burning  lava,  and 
leave  but  ruin  and  death  behind  their  track." 

The  Philadelphia  UttUttin  says  that  Judge 
Ti\'est,  the  Kepublic&u  candidate  for  Governor  uf 
Ohio,  has  written  to  a  friend  in  that  city  that  in  his 
opinion  the  true  interests  of  both  laborer  and  em- 
ployer "  would  he  better  conserved  by  an  agreement 
volujitarily  entered  into  by  the  parties,  but  by  no 
means  a  compact  of  statutory  or  legislative  compul- 
sion, whereby  the  wages  of  labor  shall  be  rated  ac- 
cording to  a  graduated  scale  of  compensation,  rung- 
lug  from  a  minimum  rate  fixed  and  determined  oy 
the  p.trties.  b-at  increased  or  diminished  according  to 
a  certain  per  cent,  of  the  net  profits  or  loss  of  tho 
employer." 

Speaking  of  the  disgraceful  action  of  Georgia 

regarding  its  bonds,  the  Richmond  (Va.)  Stat^.  a 
Democratic  paper,  says ;  "Atlanta  has  been  rebuilt 
and  made  great  aud  beautiful  on  this  horrowed  money 
sinoe  the  war.  aud  now  it  is  repudiated,  -\dniitttiig 
that  there  was  some  stolen,  as  there  always  is.  yet- 
the  people  got  the  benefit  even  of  that  wh  ch  was 
stolen,  as  hut  little  was  carried  out  of  the  State.  II 
is  a  well-known  fact  (hat  the  home  Democrats  prof- 
ited quite  as  much,  if  not  moi-e.  than  the  carpet- 
bagger Republicans,  aud  if  the  truth  was  told  a  good 
deal  of  it  fell  into  tbe  hands  of  Bob  Toombs  in  th« 
way  of  fees,  as  according  to  all  accounts  he  has  growr 
immensely  rich." 

IVo  clergyiueu  were  robbed  lately  at  a  camp- 
meeting  in  Delaware,  and  somehow  suspicion  wa« 
directed  to  another  clergyman  of  good  standing  whe 
had  come  to  tlie  meeting  vouched  for  by  the  Bishop 
by  whom  he  was  ordained.  He  willingly  submitted 
to  a  search,  and  a  correspondent  naively  says  thai 
"no  evidence  of  any  character  was  discovered  ic 
throw  suspicion  upon  him  except  that  his  pocke& 
book  contained  about  $100  and  a  ticket  to  Boston.' 
Clergymen  intending  to  go  to  camp-meeting  in  Del* 
wore  should  take  tbe  lesson  to  heart,  and  if  the; 
chance  to  be  the  fortunate  possessor  of  so  large  f 
sum  as  $1U0  should  by  all  means  leave  it  St  home, 
or  take  -with  them  documents  to  prove  that  tbej 
came  honestly  by  it.

Tir£  CHAUTAUQUA  ASSEMBLY. 

fiEV.  JOSEPH  COOK'S  FIFTH  LECTURE — 
"  DOES  DEATH  END  ALL  "—A  GREAT 
MULTITUDE  IN  ATTENDANCE. 

Fairpoint,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  15.— This  has 
been  one  of  the  Chautauqua  Assembly's  field- 
days.  The  steam-boats  had  been  coming  in  at 
all  hours  of  the  day  heavily  loaded  with  passen- 
gers unta  an  immense  multitu<le  ffcthered  on 
the  grounds.  At  the  first  audiloiiuiu  exercises, 
Mrs.  Osbom,  of  Marion,  Ohio,  sang  a 
Bolo,  ending  with  '*  Home,  Sweet  Home." 
Rev.  Joseph  Cook  delivered  his  fifth  lec- 
ture here,  entitled,  '*  Does  Death 
End  All  ? "  previously  making  dia^ams 
on  the  black-board.  Mr.  Cook  began  bj' saying 
that  Plato  saya  that  Socrates  said  to  his  friends 
in  his  last  moments  :  "  Yon  may  bury  me  if  you 
can  catch  me.  You  cannot  bury  Socrates,  but 
only  my  poor  body."  The  diagrams  were 
stated  to  be  the  outlines  of  the  pretenfes  of 
materialism.  Animals  deprived  of  a  portion  of 
their  nervous  systems  have  no  power  of  i^elf- 
direction,  and  can  only  be  stimulated  to  actioii 
from  without.  (A  cabinet  organ  on  the  plat- 
form was  used  as  an  illustration. )  The  key.s  make 
the  music,  but  mind  acts  upi-n  thekoj's.'lleiict-. 
mind  must  play  upon  the  keyboard  of  thts  brain 
of  the  animal.  Tyndall  says  matter  lias  t\vi» 
faces— one  substance,  the  other  spirit.  3Iind 
cannot  be  spoken  of  in  the  terms  which  apply 
to  matter;  it  has  neither  color  nor  weight.  Ma- 
terialism wrecks  itself  on  this  reef— that  absence 
and  presence  cannot  exist  in  the  same  place 
at  the  same  time.  Tyndall  said  in  his  Belfast 
address  that  in  his  clearer  moments  ho  ad- 
mitted that  spirit  and  matter  were  dis- 
tinct; afterward  he  withdrew  the  admission. 
If  there  is  music  from  an  organ, 
there  must  be  a  musician.  Every  re- 
sult must  have  an  adequate  cause,  or  the  iavo- 
lution  is  not  equal  to  the  evolution.  The  lec- 
turer declared  that  the  human  brain,  as  well  as 
a  cabinet  organ,  must  have  a  musician  to  act 
upon  it,  even  if  it  be  an  invisible  spirit.  The 
brain  is  matter  that  cannot  move  itst-Jf 
—an  or^n  that  cannot  piay  upon 
itself.  Out  of  the  brain  has  come 
constitutions  and  dramas  and  pt>ems  and  all  the 
achievements  of  civilization  in  all  the  centuries, 
but  the  soul  had  played  upon  irs  keyboard.  We 
may  destroy  the  eye,  but  not  the  sight,  and  wo 
may  destroy  the  brain,  but  not  the  soul.  In  all 
the  universe  there  cannot  be  either  force  or  mo- 
tion without  mind.  The  lecturer  used  diagrams 
to  illustrate  .the  latest  miracles  of  microscopir 
research.  Life  comes  before  organization,  and 
not  organization  before  life.  If  the  keyboard 
needs  a  musician,  what  does  the  complt-x  sys- 
tem of  brains,  nerves,  and  muscles  of  man 
xietrd  i  If  th»*  soul  is  proved  to  be  the  haj'pcr  to 
the  harp,  it  is  proved  that  when  the  liarj)  is 
destroved  the  harper  still  liver.  Ht-nco.  death 
cannot  end  all.  If  death  does  not  end  al!. 
what  doesf  If  wo  sail  by  IsUmd  No.  10 
and  the  lower  bars  of  the  Mississippi  we  cnn 
eail  out  into  the  ocean.  If  we  pass  saiVIy 
Ihrough  death,  which  does  not  end  all,  wo  can 
sail  down  safely  beyond  Island  No.  10.  and  the 
bars  at  the  mouth  of  ti(fe  river  into  the  ocean  «»!* 
the  infinite  world.  Germany  says  that  btehlnd 
the  structure  of  the  material  body  thcru  is 
a  spiritual  body.  The  matter  of  thu 
band  is  changed  everv  seven  years,  but  the  plan 
is  not  changed  ;  if  there  are  scars  on  it  tucy 
will  remain.  The  body  changes,  but  the  plan  is 
never  changed.  This  plan  theCionuans  call  the 
spiritual  body.  The  Bibk-  itself  s-peaks  of  tlii> 
bodv.  but  it  is  no  sense  material,  fhrisl  Him- 
self arose  with  a  spiriroiil  body,  and  it  b^jre  the 
scars  of  the  Crucifixion.  The  poet  and  the 
scientist  both  say  wo  are  spirits,  chkd  in 
Veil  ;  without  another  life  this  UtV  is  a  desert. 
The  migrating  swan  has  pertect  confidence  in 
her  instincts,  so  should  wo  part  to-day  siuirini: 
in  behalf  of  science  what  (Jot-the  and  Miltuu 
both  have  sung,  a  grand  hymn  of  triumph  ovvr 
death  and  over  chance  and  tiuje. 

This  effort  was  heard  with  the  cio^st  nttf^-n- 
tiou,  and  was  greeted  with  universal  deinousira 
lions  of  approval.  At  the  second  audiloiium 
service  Rev.  A.  J.  Baird,  D.  I).,  gaveuninilruc 
live  historical  lecture  on  the  genealogy  of 
Christ.  Sirs.  Alden  l*a»isy.  the  author  of  Suu 
day-school  books,  lectured  on  blunder?^  in  pri- 
marj*  class  teaching,  and  later  in  the  aftt-niotlu 
Joseph  Cook  held  a  conversation,  askini;  and 
answering  questions.  K»?v.  Ueorge  F.  Haye-i. 
President  of  Washington  and  JeS"t*r-ion  (.'oUeg'f. 
closed  the  exercises  of  the  day  with '*  plaiji  an- 
swers to  Hippant  remarks.*' 

The  telephone  has  been  in  operation  on  the 
point  to-day.  The  Youutc  Apollo  Cluh,  of  New- 
Vork,  has  been  engaged  tor  another  week. 

TRIAL    OF   SUPEUiyTi:yDE.\T  KLLIS. 

Saratoga,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  15. — in  the  ^>eu- 
ale  this  morning,  i*!^V.  Chapm;;ii  commenced 
Bummlug  up  for  the  repondent  i^Uis.  H-.-  said  ; 
This  has  been  one  of  the  most  eitraordiuary 
trials  in  the  history  of  civU  government. 
The  respondent  has  been  arraigned  be- 
fore two  Governors,  and  two  sets  of 
lawyers  have  been  engaged.  The  charges 
■Wtjre  allowed  to  lay  for  months  in 
the  pigdon-holes  of  the  Executive-Department. 
and  only  after  his  appointee  was  rejected  by 
the  Senate  were  charges  made.  Over  li.O'JO 
pages  of  testimony  have  been  taken,  and  the 
only  charges  urged  were  neglect  of  duty.  Nor* 
a  hint  of  corruption  is  made.  The  Governor 
charges  negligence  culpable.  He  referr'd  X*) 
the  trial  uf  Judge  Prindie  and  the  opinion 
of  the  Senators  thereon  regarding  ciiltjable  neg- 
ligence. To  the  charge  of  allowing  Trustees  of 
savings  banks  to  give  guarantee  bonds,  he  said 
that  he  found  these  bonds  received  by  hi."  pre- 
decessors. Mr.  Howell,  his  predecessor,  r»*port- 
*d  a  deficiency  in  the  Third  Avenue  ^uvim,-'; 
Bank,  but  did  not  think  it  best  to 
closti  it,  wishing  to  keep  it  from  the 
hands  of  a  Receiver.  Mr.  Ellis  u.-ed 
his  best  judgment  in  the  interests,  as  he  L.j- 
heved,  of  bOO.OOO  depositors  in  savings  bank^.. 
Can  a  man  be  removed  for  a  mistake  in  judir- 
ment  f  He  found  that  his  predecessors  used 
judgment  and  discretion  in  alTowinir  a  bnnk  to 
go  on  with  a  deficiency  of  $115,000.  The  At- 
tomey^General  uses  his  discretion  in  reirard  to 
Buits.  If  the  law  said  that  the  .Su- 
perintendent must  act  forthwith,  then 
a  bank  with  $12,000,000  assests  miglit. 
In  time  of  paniu*.  be  temporarily  de- 
ficient $100,00*J,  and  the  consequence  would 
be  that  it  would  have  to  be  closed  up.  It  is  al 
ways  necesaary  to  nurse  and  aid  new  banks.  If 
the  Superintendent  finds  a  bank  deticient.  and 
turns  it  over  to  the  Attorney-General,  and  u 
subsequent  exandnatiou  shows  error,  the  repu- 
tation of  the  bank  is  ruined  iu  the  confidence 
of  the  depositors.  Eight  or  nine  banks,  which 
in  times  past  have  shown  deficiencies,  now  have 
ft  surpltts.  Stocks  and  real  estate  have  heen 
Steadily  falling,  and  it  would.  re<iuire  Elhs  to 
possess  powers  of  omniscience  Xn>  know  everv- 
nme  what  banks  are  doing  with  their  deposits. 

After  referring  to  the  Abingd on-Square  ai:d 
Traders*  Banks,  jlr.  Chapman  returned  to  tin; 
Third-Avenue  Bank,  stating  that  five  uiuulhs 
prior  to  Ellis  going  into  oflice  experts  were  ex- 
amining the  bank,  and  the  courtii  decided  m-t 
to  put  It  into  the  hands  of  a  Keceiver.  He 
Bends  three  men  to  examine  into  its  afi'airs.  and 
they  report  a  third  of  1  per  cent;  deficiency 
Df  assets  and  a  surplus  of  income.  In  a  letter 
they  speak  of  th«-  couragtj  of-  the  maua- 
^ers  in  meeting  a  run'and  how  well~  they  have 
Stood  it.  Also  of  a  chauge  of  Trustees,  and  how 
prominent  financial  men  had  stepped  in  and 
taken  the  places  of  some  of  the  weaker  ones. 
After  seeing  that  live  of  the  Trustees  stood  by 
the  bank,  Ellis  espected  it  to  keep  running 
along,  and  it  probably  would  but  for  the  panic 
of  1873.  The  Seziate  then,  adjourned  until  U 
J*.  31i  to-morrow.

THS  BAZTIMOBE  CUSTOM-HOUSE. 

Baltikor£,  Md.,  Aug.  15. — There  was  an 
anxious  cicwd^  at  the  Custom-house  this  morn- 
ing, antlcix>ating  the  announcement  of  dis- 
znluals,  removals,  and  changes  in  the  several 
departments 'which  it  was  understood  would  be 
made  to-day,  Collector  Thomas  having  completed 
his  list  and  being  ready  to  carry  into  effect  the 
order  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
reducing  the  force.  At  noon  the  order  of  the 
Secretary  was  carried  into  effect  by  a  reorgan- 
ization of  the  several  divisions  of  tho  Custom- 
house made  necessary  by  the  order,  and  the 
changes  made  public.  The  reduction  of  the 
force  was  made  by  the  dismissal  of  nine  clerkv, 
four  messengers,  two  assistant  weighers,  two 
grangers,  one  special  inspector,  13  day  in- 
n>ector3,  11  nignt  watchmen,  two  examiners  at 
the  Appraiaer'a  office,  two  samplers  at  the  Ap- 
praiser's office,  and  three  laborers.  There  were 
also  12  removals  and  others  appointed  in  their 
places,  including  one  clerk,  one  examiner,  and 
cue  storekeeper^  the  others  bein^  principally 
watchmen.

THE  SARATOGA    RACES, 
MR,   purteaS's  bad  jiaxagemxnt   in  the 
KE^^^ER  stakes  a  subject  of  lively 

INTEREST — to-day's  PROGRAMME — POOL- 
SELLING  AT  THE  TRACK. 

Saratoga,  Aug.    15. -The  unfortunate  start 

for  the  Kenner  stake  yesterday  has  furnished  another 
dish  of  argmnent  for  turfmen,  and  no  event  of  the 
season  has  occasioned  moro  feeling  and  irrita- 
ting discussion.  Tbe  breaking  down  of  so 
fine  a  colt  as  Baden  Baden  is  a  circumstanco 
to  be  regrettod,  and  the  numerous  friends  of  Mr.  As- 
tor  express  the  deepest  sympathy  at  hLs  great  loss, 
for  he  has  gathered  a  magnificent  strins  of  thorough- 
breds which  lis  races  solely  for  the  love 
of  the  sport  and  not  as  a  means  of 
speculation.  With  all  duo  respect  for  Mr. 
Pur\-ear's  ability  as  a  trainer,  and  a  firm  con- 
Wction  in  his  honesty,  many  have  come  to  the  con- 
clusion, from  the  experience  at  Jerome  Park  and 
t*aratoi;a.  that  nature  has  not  endowed  him  with  a 
talent  for  starting  borsos.  Xo  doubt  he  endeavors  to 
dohis  best,  but  that  he  h;is  been  a  lamentable  failure 
cannot  be  controverted  by  his  stanchest  friends. 
with  tho  record  before  thcra'.  After  what  has  trans- 
pired, it  would  seem  that  the  conrses  forming 
the  eastern  circuit  would  find  it  to  the  Interest 
of  tho  turf  to  combine,  without  consult- 
ing the  feelings  of  individcal  horse-owners. 
and  sinple  ont  a  fitting  person  for  the  position  of 
starter,  which  requires  nnnness  and  decision  of  char- 
acter, fortified  with  the  power  to  command  respect 
from  the  jockeys.  He  should  not  be  in  the  remotest 
degree  interested  in  any  stable,  for  at  this  meet- 
ing the  evil  effect  of  "this  sort  of  thing  has 
been  witnessed  day  after  day.  Mr.  Purj-ear  is 
himself  an  owner,  and  when  his  horses  run 
he.  of  course,  resipis  the  flag  to  some- 
body else.  This  a  paid  starter  has  no  right  to  do 
when  so  much  is  at  stake.  Thus,  besides  Mr.  Pur- 
year,  the  public  has  been  treated  to  the  disappointing 
eifurts  of  several  other  men  who  have  tried  their 
hands  at  the  business.  In  regard  td  the  Kenner 
stake  the  feeUng  ran  higli.  for  it  was  very  palpable 
that  11  false  starts  were  entirely  nnuecessary.  Tho 
pcoplo  saw  thf  colts  break  away  "three  times  "well  to- 
celher,  but  ^  the  flog  did  not  fall,  and  they 
h:s-ic(l.  Finally,  when  Itaden  Baden's  head  was 
turned  the  wrong  way,  the  starter  gav'>  the  signal  to 
go.  which  was  followed  by  a  ccneral  shout  of  disap- 
probation. \Vnen  the  matter  was  argued  last  night 
there  were  a  few  who  went  so  far  a*;  to  say  that  the 
outside  public  act  like  fools  and  don't  know  ^hat 
thoy  hiss  for.  In  a  few  instances  this  Is  true,  bijt  it 
does  not  require  an  understandins  of  turf  matters  to 
determine  which  is  a  bad  or  a  K'^od  start.  The  attend- 
ants of  the  races  here  are  the  hiirher  class  of  people. 
able  to  discriminate  between  what  is  good  and  what 
is  bad.  and  when  they  gave  expression  of  dissatisfac- 
tion yesteniay  they  were  fully  justifled  In  so  doing. 
Tl;is  was  all  the  more  to  Ix?  deplored  because  tbe 
management  of  the  Saratoga  Course  is  so  perfect  that 
a  flaw  of  this  character  is  magnitied  to  a  far  greater 
extent  llian  at  another  place  where  tho  same  system

TTirr  FIREZTAX  JiO.'i:^  i^AH  DlSCHAItGED. 

Whtn  quetitiuned  yesterday  by  a  Times  re- 
porter iu  relation  to  the  discharge  of  Za^'hariah  T. 
K'lS'?,  a  tireman.  re<*eutly  in  tho  employ  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Ceutrui  KaUroad,  Superintendent  Barker 
denied  in  toto  tho  state:ueuts  made  in  a  morning 
junnial.  The  dischart:'',  bo  said,  was  not  made  as 
had  Iteon  reported,  in  acordauce  with  instm-'tions 
rei-eived  from  Philadelphia,  but  by  hiui**elf,  on  his 
own  responsibility,  as  a  matter  uf  discipline.  It  was 
not  true  that  other  dLsrharycs  were  to  follow  that 
of  Ri^ss,  and  no  trotible  wa.«(  anticipated  bv  reason  of 
the  latters  (lisirib-,sol.  Res'*,  ilr.  Barter  further 
df'darpd,  wiis  a  disori.-ani2er  and  a  bad  man.  At  tiie 
time  of  the  threatened  trouble  on  the  I'ennsvlvania 
Road  he  eame  to  tho  Superintendent,  and,  claiming 
to  represent  tbe  Locomotive  Firemen,  threatened 
that,  unless  the  company  acceded  to  the  demand  for 
an  increase  of  w:i;;es,  he  would  go  to  his  lod^e  (Hud- 
son. No.  fi^S.  of  Jersey  City.)  and  have  a  resolution 
pasiied  immodiately  <jril»rriuic  tbe  men  to  strike.  The 
Superintendent  replied  to  this  that  ho  conld  not 
recognize  one  man  alone  a^  the  representative  of  a 
body,  and  said  that  he  would  have  to  brini:  his  fel- 
lows with  him  before  he  could  treat  with  him  in  re- 
lation to  tho  matter.  Ross  withdrew,  sajing  that  he 
did  not  think  the  men  could  come,  but  returned 
soon  with  five  five  firemen,  who  all.  Mr.  Barker  saj-s. 
repudiated  Ross,  and  declared  that  he  had  no  right  to 
speak  for  them.  Ross  himself  •claimed  that  it  was 
mainly  through  his  efforts  that  a  general  strike  on 
the  road  was  prevented,  a  statement  that  Mr.  Barker 
brands  as  absolutely  false.  The  Superintendent 
declined  to  treat  with  Ross  thereafter,  but  met  the 
firemen,  not  as  the  members  of  any  organization,  but 
Bimply  as  a  body  of  workingmen.  and  held  a  confer- 
ence with  them;  in  the  arrancing  for  which  Ross  had 
uotliing  whatever  to  do.  Aft«r  stating  that  Ross  was 
the  only  one  of  the  firemen  that  had  ever  acted  in  an 
nngentlemanly  manner,  Mr.  Barker  assured  the  re- 
porter that  all  the  other  men  were  willing  and  faith- 
tnl.  and  that  as  long  as  the  road  was  able  ts  conduct 
its  bnsiness  they  would  in  all  probability  remahi  in 
its  employ.       ^ 

SUICIDE  OF  A  TRESTOy  MESCHAXT. 
A  well-known  and  respected  citizen  of  Cross- 
wicka.  Mr.  Janis  Woolman,  of  the  firm  of  J.  &  J. 
Woolman  &  Co.,  of  Trenton,  N.  J.,  committed  gni- 
cide  yesterday  morning  at  his  store  by  blowing  out 
his  brains  w^th  a  shot-gun.  He  went  to  the  store  as 
tisuaJ,  and  after  attending  to  business,  went  Into  a 
back  room,  placed  the  muzzle  of  the  gun  in  hla 
mouth,  and  pulled  the  trigger  with  his  foot.  Brains 
and  pieces  of  skull  were  scattered  over  the  walls. 
Nothing  unusual  had  been  noticed  in  his  conduct,  and 
OS  there  were  no  family  W  financial  diSBculties,  tho 
cause  of  the  act  is  not  known.  He  was  c^oite  wealthy.

THE  HARLEM  REPUBLICANS, 

MEETDfG  OP    THE  ELECTORS  OP    THE  TWEN- 
TY-FIRST ASSEMBLY    DISTRICT — ^ADDRESS 
BY  ALDERMAN  COWIKG — THE  PRESIDENT 
SUPPORTED    WITHOUT    RESERVE — RESIQ- 
NATION  OF  OFFICH-nOLDERS. 
The  Republicans  of  the  Twenty-first  Assem- 
bly J>istrict  met  on  Tuesday  evening  in  Lincoln  Hall, 
One  Hundred  and  Sixteenth-street,  Vice-President  J. 
C.  Grifiing  in  the  chair.      On  motion  of  Alderman  R. 
B.  Cowing  that  the  resignations  of  office-holders,  as 
suggested  by  President  Haves'  order,  be  accepted,  a 
number  of  amendments  and  points  of  order  were 
raised,  and  the  Chair  had  some  difScuUy  in  maintain- 
ing order.      A  motion   to  lay  the  proposition  on  tho 
table  was  lost.  A  vote  having  at  last  been  reached.  It 
was  decided  unanimously  to  accept  the  resignations. 
The  meeting  was  then  addressed  by  Alderman  Cow- 
ing.   He  said  that  tho  Republican  association  of  tbe 
district  numbered  upward  of  1,000  members,  and 
ho     most     respectfully    desired     to     urge     upon 
their    attention    the    present    high    state    of     ef- 
ficiency    to     which     it      has      attained.      A     lit- 
tle less  than  two   years  ago   the  association    took 
a  new  depai-ture,  confusion  and  disorder  having  pre- 
viously ruled  supreme  in  its'  midst.    It  was  the  com- 
mon talk  and  boast  of  certain  leaders  of  the  Democ- 
racy in  the  district  that   they  could  always  control 
the  Republican  Association   by  controllin;;  its  man- 
agers, or  in  other  words,  that  it  had  become  Uke  an 
article  of  merchandise,  ready  to  be  delivered  for  a 
price.    It  had  become  unsafe  for  respectable    and 
honest  men  to   accept  nominations  for  office  in  the 
district,  as  they  could  never  teU   whether  the  associ- 
ation which  was  manaeing  the  canvass  was  doin;r  so 
in  good  faith  and   in   their  mterest,  or  whether  they 
were  not  being  kept  in  the  field  as  dummies  in  order 
to  enrich  some  individual  or  individuals  who  then 
controlled  the  organization,   so  that   candidates  and 
electors  were   both  too   often  sold  to  satisfy  selfish 
ends.    The  RcpubUcans  of  the  district  had  become 
so      di-sgusted      and      dishearteneti      that      it      was 
with  difficulty  that  a  full  vote  could  be  called  out,  and 
3.500  votes  polled  for  anv   Bepublican  candidate  in 
tho  district  was  CAinsidered  the  extent  of  the  Repub- 
lican vote.     In  fact  the  candidate    for  member  of 
Assembly  three  years  asro  polled  only  about 'J,  500 
votes.     At  the  present  time  the  Republican   Associa- 
tion points  with   pride    to   the  risults    which  have 
taken  place  suice  it  has  changed  its  mnnugcment, 
and  has  been  run  fairly  and  houestlv.    Tlie  present 
organization  of  the  district  is  out  *)t'  debt  and  hits 
money  in  its  treasury.    The  association  for  the  past 
two    years    has    Wen    careful    hi    the    H^lection    of 
Inspectors    of    Flection    an4l    Poll    Clerks,    so    that 
a  fair  count   of  the   votes   has   been  «e<-ured.      The 
district    has   now   become    the    banner   Republican 
district  in  the  City  of  NVw-York  so   far  as  the  num- 
ber of  Republican  votes  is  concomed,   haviuK  at  the 
last  election  polled  more   Republican  votes  than   any 
other  db^trict  in  tho  City;  the  vote   for   national  and 
State  offlcerB  amounting  to   aearly  4.800,    and  the 
vote  for  RepuWican  local  caudldate^.    notwithstaud- 
in;;  the  opposition  of    sonie    professed   Repuldicans 
who  had  prerious  to    lh74   controlled   the  organiza- 
tion, ran  up  to  between   5.000  and  (kOOO.     It  is   re- 
snectfuUy  submitted  that  this  result,  in  tho  increase 
of  the  Republican  voteof  thedi.strict.  speakH  volunius 
fur     the   present   efliciency     of     the    association. 
Lost  year,  by  honest   and    fair  managemeut  of  the 
affairs  of  the  association,  the   Kepublinans   were   en 
abled  to  elect  a  member  of  the  Assembly,  and  by  elect- 
ing their  candidate  a  member  uf  tho  present  Board  of 
Aldermen  by  a  majority  vote,  enabled  the  Aldermanlc 
district  to  be  represented  in  the  board  by  two  Rcpub- 
lican  Aidermen.     It  is  couUdently  believed  that    but 
for  the  ojiposition  of  some  of  the  prominent  profeRs*;d 
RepubliL-ans.  who  are  now  desirous  of  seeing  a  chango 
simply  in  order  to  obtain  control  and  res'.oro  the   old 
order  of  things,  we  should  have  elected  Hon.  Leri   P. 
Morton  our  Congressman. 

As  early  as  the  lytb  of  last  March  the  association 
fully  indorsed  the  policy  of  President  Have.-*  hm  laid 
d'>\vn  in  his  letter  of  Rc<-eptanee  and  inaugural  ad- 
dre^8,  and  again  on  May  8  it  a  second  time  indorsed 
it,  when  hiH  polifv  had  become  tuore  fully  dettned. 
Now  all  the  Fi-dt-rnl  office- hoi  tiers  h.-ive,  iu  ooedieuce 
to  the  order  of  tlie  President,  resi;;ued  from  the  jki- 
siiiuns  held  by  them  in  the  a>socialion.  thu«  bringing

Ki^publicttii  Association  reapectfully  invite  and  urge 
all  Republit-an-i  of  the  district  who  have  not 
already  joined  the  a.s.^oclation  to  do  so  at 
once,  and  till  up  the  v.icancles  made  in  the

THE  TJMMJyy  jyE  FALLiyCr. 

SEVERAL  E.\IPLOVES  OF  THE  FtBE  DEPART- 
MENT KEMOVKIJ  WITHOL'T  CAUSE  TO 
MAKE  ROO.M  FOR  KELLY'S  FRIENDS — THE 
LEGALITY  OF  THEIR  REMOVAL  ^L'ES- 
TlOXED. 

The  Board  of  Firo  Comini.«.siouers  held  a 
meeting  yesterday  morning,  and  the  two  Tammany 
Commissioners,  acting  under  the  spur  of  the  Tam- 
many Committee  on  Patrouase,  made  a  number  of 
changes  in  the  force  of  clerks  and  Assistant  Pire 
Marshal.  These  changes  all  appear  to  have  been 
made  in  an  illegal  manner,  as  will  be  shown  further 
on  in  thLs  rejxtrt."  All  the  Commissioners — Messrs- 
Perley,  Gorman,  and  King — were  present  at  the 
meeting,  over  which  Commissioner  (iormau  pre- 
sided. AUtmiau  Tuomey  and  other  Tammany  poli- 
ticians were  also  in  attendance  to  see  that  the  dic- 
tates of  John  Kelly  were  obeyed  by  Messrs.  Gor- 
man and  King.  At  the  conclusion  of  the  routine 
busines.t  tbe  board  reautved  itself  Into  a 
farcical  court  to  try  a  number  of  its 
subordinatej*.  whom  two  of  the  Commission- 
ers had  already  ,  decided  to  remove,  however 
strong  their  defense.  Immediately,  five  clerks,  an 
Assistant  Fire  Marshal,  aud  a  sur\eyor  connected 
w^th  the  Bureau  of  Combustibles,  appeared  before 
tne  improvised  court.  They  had  been  notilied  sever- 
al days  ago  that  thoy  would  be  required  at  the  fol- 
lowing session  of  the  board  to  inform  the 
Commissioners  what  reasons  existed  why  they 
should  not  be  deprived  of  their  positions. 
The  first  of  the  persons  to  be  interrogated  was 
Michael  F.  Cummings,  a  clerk  in  Firemen's  Hall.  In 
response  to  Commissioner  Gorman,  be  said  that  he 
had  been  employed  in  the  department  for  four  years, 
and  daring  that  time  had  never  had  a  cdmplaiiit 
made  against  btm.  Commissioner  Gorman  replied 
sharply  that  there  was  no  good  reason  for  his  reten- 
tion, and  moved  his  discharge.  Commissioner  King 
supported  the  motion,  and  Commissioner   Perley  op- 

SOfied  it.  Cummlngs  was  diamUsed.  On  motion  of 
Ir.  Gorman,  John  Kennedy  was  appointed  to  the 
place  previonsly  made  vacant.  Joseph  H.  Munday, 
also  a  clerk,  was  next  arraigned.  He  said  that  the 
onlv  reason  why  the  majority  of  the  Commissioners 
— ilessrs.  Gorman  and  I^ing — should  desire  to  remove 
him  was  tho  fact  that  he  differed  from  thera  in  poli- 
tical sentiments.  He  was  dismissed,  and  John  J. 
Hart,  whose  father  was  at  one  time  Assistant-En- 
ginoer  in  the  old  Volunteer  Flro  Department,  was  ap- 
pointed to  fill  his  place.  Daniel  Lawson,  a  clerk  in 
the  Bureau  of  Combustibles,  informed  Mr.  Gorman 
that  there  was  no  other  reason  for  his  discharge  than 
that  he  was  a  Repubhcan.  He  was  discharged,  and 
the  Democratic  majority  filled  hia  place 
by  appointing  James  Graham,  who  was  at 
one  tune  Foreman  of  Hose  Company  No. 
1 2,  of  the  Volunteer  Fire  Department. 
Charles  E.  Simms,  a  Surveyor  connected  with  the 
Bureau  of  Combustibles,  was  next  called  upon  to  give 
hts  reasons  why  he  should  not  be  removed.  He  said 
he  was  a  member  of  the  Volunteer  Fire  Department 
for  15  yeais,  and  had  always  paid  attention  to  the 
duties  of  his  position  as  Surveyor.  Continuing  his 
remarks,  he  said  he  had  been  a  Democrat  all 
his  life,  and  this  fact  should  commend  falm  to 
the  favor  of  Ihe  Commissioners,  who  had  re- 
moved other  persons  from  positions  merely  because 
they  were  Republicans.  He  said  he  understood, 
howeTOT,  the  cause  of.  the  detensination  to  deprive 
him  of  Ids  position.  He  was  au  independent  man, 
and  bad  several  times  opposed  the  "machine"  nom- 
inations in  his  district,  and  had,  last  F«ll,  ran  agsinat 
the  rejrular  Democratic  nonunee  for  the  Assembly.

THE  SECOND  DISTRICT  REPUliLICAyS. 

The  Second  A-ssembly  District  Republican 
Association  held  a  special  primary  election  laat 
evening  at  Xo.  -IGti  Pearl-street,  to  fill  vacancios 
caused  by  the  resignation  of  officers.  The  follow- 
ing were  elected  ;  President,  Pierre  E.  Van  Wyck  ; 
Secretary.  John  W.  Nammock ;  members  of  tbe 
General  Committee,  Michatd  Foley  and  Iiawrence 
Manning:  Inspector  of  Klection.  Timothy  Lynch. 
During  the  casting  of  tlie  ballot,  Dennis  McLaughlin. 
a  member  of  the  association,  handed  in  a  protest 
against  the  holding  of  an  eluction.  on  the  ground-s 
that  the  gentlemen  who  resigned  were  not  duly  elect- 
ed to  the  offices  tilled  by  them,  and  that  those  who 
were  fairly  elected  had  not  resigued.  The  objections 
of  McLaughlin  were  overruled. 


THE  VISELAyiJ  SCASDAL. 


WHAT  BISHOP  CORRI0.\N  SATS —  FATHER 
VrVET  NOT  JUSTIFIED  IN  DIRECTING 
THE  EXHC.MATION  OF  MAGGIOLl's  BOOT. 
In  regard  to  the  Vinelaiid  burial  case.  Bishop 
Corrigan  was  interviewed  at  his  residence.  Ko.  35 
Bleecker- street,  Newark.  K.  J.,  yesterday.  Tho 
Bishop  said  that  Father  Vivf  t  rolled  on  him  when  he 
was  away  on  giHcial  duty,  and  consequently  they 
had  not  met  since  the  trouble  in  Vlneland.  He  hud. 
however,  received  a  letter  from  Father  V5vet.  and 
from  this  and  other  sources  had  obtained  a  pretty 
fair  view  of  the  case.  The  Bishop  considered  that 
the  reverend  father  had  a  strong  civil  case  to  stand 
upon,  but  had  erred  In  demanding  the  remitval  of  tho 
body  on  religious  grounds.  The  cemetery  belongs  to 
the  Catholic  Misslou,  a  corporation  of  which  tho 
priest  is  the  head.  As  Vivt-t  resides  live  miles  away, 
in  MillevlHe.  the  i>eoplu  have  long  been  making 
interments  in  the  cemetery  without  notifying  him. 
without  paying  for  the  lots  which  they  Kelecteti  In 
stich  places  as  they  liked,  aud  without  religious  rites. 
Finally,  the  corporntioo  gave  notice  that  this  (*tato 
of  things  must  cease  ;  nevertheless  the  practice  was 
continued,  atid  there  were  two  new  ciwes  of  tres- 
uass  last  week.  In  the  ca.se  of  the  Italian. 
Maggioli.  interment  was  made  without  tbe 
knowled^^  of  Father  Vivet,  in  a  lot  wliich  he  liad 
pn>mised  to  a  Mrs.  Gregorj-,  and  in  which  her  hus- 
band  was  burioJ.  Moreovi-r,  no  money  was  paid  by 
the  Itwlian's  friends  for  a  burial  plot  until  alter  the 
lutenuent.  I'pou  this  state  of  facts  the  Bishop 
thought  the  tirie»»t  had  a  cli-nr  civil  right  to  demand 
the  removal  of  the  body.  Bishop  Corrisan  con- 
tinued :  ■•  But  Father  Vivet  erred  and  exceeded  the 
authority  conferred  upon  him  by  the  Church  In 
calling  for  the  exhumath»n  of  the  biwly  on 
tho  ground  that  Maguioii  had  neglected  to 
make  his  Easter  communion.  It  was  decided 
by  the  council  of  Baltimore  that  Christian  burial 
shall  be  refused  to  tiie  fidlowiii};  classes  of  persons  : 
The  unbaptised.  for  they  are  not  Christians  :  such  as 
are  t*x-con»iuunicated  by  name,  which  raxt-ly  liai>pen>; 
and  probably  never  has  occurred  in  this  diocese^  de- 
liberate sidcides  aud  such  as  lead  notoriously 
scandalous  liVfS,  so  that  tlteir  burial  in 
consecrated  ground  would  Itself  bo  a  scandal. 
In  all  cas«<s  of  doubt  as  to  whether  a  case  falls  within 
these  reffulatiotm  the  Bi::4hi>p  Is  to  be  consulted.  If 
ihia  course  b>  impo.ssible,  then  the  l'ii«tor 
must  take  the  mure  ehariteble  side.  It  was 
decided  .  bv  the  Lateran  Council  that  a 
person  neglecting  his  religious  duties  might  bo 
refused  interment  in  a  church  cemetery,  but  in  all 
such  cases  the  Bishop  alone,  not  a  priest,  must  de- 
cide. Therefore  Father  Vivet  erred.  This  regula- 
tir»n  Is  never  enforced  ;  and  he  himself  would  not 
euforce  it  In  the  diocese  of  Newark.  if 
it  should  be  found  that  there  is  no 
other  objection  to  MaggioU's  interment  than 
that  (dveu  by  Father  Vivet  in  his  letter,  the  bod^- 
should  c«rtainly  be  allowed  to  remain  where  it  is.  ' 
Dnrinic  Ihe  interview  Biahtip  Corrigan  spoke  very 
tenderly  of  Magt;loli.  and  with  all  kindness  of  the 
priest  of  the  misaion. 

AMERiCAy  lynjAys  jy  Canada. 

Ottawa,  Canada,  Aug.  15. — The  com- 
mission appointed  by  the  United  States  Gov- 
ernment to  proceed  to  Fort  Walsh  will  be  af- 
forded every  facility  for  making  a  treaty  with 
Sitting  Hull  for  liia  peaceable  return  to  the 
re.servation  with  his  tribe.  ^Vhile  in  Washing- 
ton lately,  Hon.  Mr.  Mills  fully  explained  to 
President  Hayea  the  Canadian  .sjsteni  of 
dualing  with  Indians.  The  President  ex- 
prutised  his  lutontion  of  adopting  a  similar 
line  of  policy,  aud  give  the  management 
of  the  outposts  to  experienced  army  officers,  and 
do  away  altogether  with  agenta.  The  Canadian 
Indians  of  the  North-west  are  fiercely  jealous 
of  tho  advent  of  hostile  Sioux,  and  it  is  feared 
may  at  any  time  make  war  upon  them  if  their 
removal  is  not  secured.  It  is  expected  that  the 
new  policy  toward  the  Indians  abont  to  be 
adopted  by  President  Hayes  will  bring:  about 
tho  withdrawal  of  the  American  Indians  from 
Canadian  territory. 

Washington,  Aug.  15. — Brig. -Gen.  Terry, 
commanding  the  Department  of  Dakota,  in  re- 
ply to  the  teiejrram  of  the  Secretary  of  War  re- 
questing him  to  serve  as  a'  member  of  tho  Sit- 
ting Bull  Commission,  says  there  is  nothing  at 
present  which  will  prevent  him  from  serving. 
He  will  therefore  act  as  a  member  of  the  com- 
mission.   

SEVERAL  MEN  FATALLY  BURNED, 
Cinxinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  15.— A  special 
dispatch  says  a  new  oil-well  at  Smith's  Ferry, 
Penn.,  commenced  to  flow  on  Monday,  throw- 
ing oil  over  the  men  working  about  the  derrick. 
The  gas  ignited  from  a  blacksmith's  forge,  and 
the  men  were  completely  enveloped  iu  flames. 
W.  L.  Rayl  and  Charles  Ammon  died  in  a  few 
minutes.  John  Rayl  and  William  McCready 
cannot  recover,  and  John  Clinton  and  sorn  were 
severely  burned. 

SUICIDE  OF  A  BANK  CASHIER. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  15. — A.  D.  Sohaef- 
fer,  Cashier  of  the  Farmers'  and  Mechanics* 
Bank  of  Westminster,  Md..  committed  suicide 
vesterday'Tsy  cutting  his  throat  with  a  razor. 
His  body  was  found  in  his  stable,  his  right 
hand  grasping  the  razor,  and  a  loaded  revolver 
lying  near,  but  undischarged.  Deceased  was 
iJso  Treasurer  and  Secretw^-  or  the  Taylor  Man- 
ufacturtng  Company  of  Westmintfter,  a  large 
locfunotlve  wi  an  ti  f art^r^a 


way  of  certain  peTVons,  who  had  now  induced  the 
Commiasionors  to  dismiss  him.  He  was  discharged 
and  William  B.  Durtnin  was  appointed  in  bla  stead. 

John  Koyal,  a  Republican,  the  Assistant  Fire 
Marshal  wnose  juriscictiou  extended  over  the  an- 
nexed district  In  Weatchester  County— tlie  Twenty- 
third  and  Twenty-fourth  Wards — was  next  removed,  i 
L.  W.  McGrath  was  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy 
created*  ^oyal  was  Chief  of  the  Morrisslna  Volun- 
teer Fire  Department,  and  his  successor  was  Presi 
dent  of  its  Board  of  Commissioners.  The  removal  of 
Royal  IK  said  to  have  been  effecte^t  tlie  desire  of 
Alderman  Porroy,  who  has  acted  as  Johii  Kelly's 
"whipper-in"  at  the  meetings  the  Fire  Com- 
missioners have  held  since  the  appointment 
of  Mr.  Gorman.  Mr.  Royal  has  alwaya 
strenuously  opposed  the  domination  of  Purroy  over 
the  district  across  the  Harlem  River.  The  next  vic- 
tim was  David  Graham,  a  clerk.  He  informed  tbe 
board  that  he  had  been  employed  In  the  present  Fire 
Department  ever  since  its  organization,  and  had 
always  been  faithful  to  his  duties.  For  testimony  as 
to  his  abililie-s,  he  referred  Commissioners  Gwrman 
and  King  to  Commissioner  Perly,  and  to  Col.  Jossen, 
the  Secretary  to  the  board.  His  statemenfti  had  no 
effect  upon  the  Democratic  Comxiagioners;  they' 
dismissed  him  immediately,  and  appointed  Martin  P. 
Killian,  a  former  Assemblyman  from  the  Fifteenth 
District,  as  his  saccessor.  Joseph  M.  Kelly,  a  clerk 
in  the  repair  shops,  who  had  been  cited  to  appear 
before  tbe  d,  boar  didnot  do  so.  and  he  was  dismissed 
for  contttraacy.  He  would  liave  been  dismissed  for 
no  reason  if  he  had  appeared.  No  successor  to  him 
was  Appointed. 

It  is  a  strange  fact  that  none  of  the  men  who  have 
been  discharged  from  the  service  of  the  P^re  Depart- 
ment asked,  upon  appearing  before  the  board,  what 
charceK  were  preferred  against  them.  All  appeared 
to  think  that  their  removals  were  determined  upon 
by  Messrs.  Gorman  and  King,  aud  that  they  could  do 
nothing  to  hinder  the  execution  of  the  flat.  They  all 
forgot-^if  they  ever  knew — that  thoy  were  to  a 
certain  extent  protocted  in  their  positions  by 
a  provision  of  the  charter  of  1 873.  The 
Demorratic  Commissioners,  while  they  respected  that 
provision  in  part  by  citing  their  subordinates  before 
them,  disregarded  that  portion  which  declares  that 
before  removing  one  of  their  employes  they  must  in- 
form him  of  the  charge  made  against  bira.  It  now 
becomes  a  question  whether  the  removals  made  yes- 
terday are  valid,  and  whether  the  discharged  men 
cannot  by  legal  methods  compel  the  Commissioners 
to  reinstate  tiiem.  The  provision  in  the  charter  of 
1873  is  as  follows:  • 

Sannoif  28.  -  •  *  •  *  But  no  rejfidar  clerk  nr 
head  of  a  bureau  HboII  bn  removoil  until  he  bos  been  in- 
formed of  the  cau8u  of  the  proponed  removal,  and  bus 
been  allowed  an-opportunity  of  making  an  explanation  ; 
and.  In  every  case  of  removal,  tho  true  (pounds  therwjf 
shall  be  forthwith  entered  upon  the  records  of  the  de- 
partment or  board.  In  case  of  removal,  a  statement 
showing  the  reason  thereof  shall  be  flied  in  the  depart- 
ment." 

Not  one  of  the  persons  discharged  yesterday  was 
informed  of  the  "c«uso  of  tbe  proposed  removal." 
TlR.'y  were  simply  called  up  and  aslted  to  state  why 
they  should  not  be  discharged.  No  charges  have 
been  preferred  against  them,  and  tho  "grounds"  »»f 
their  removal  were  not  entered  "forthwith"  upon 
the  minutes  of  tho  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Fire 
Commissioners.  Secretary  Jussen  did  not  know  last 
evening  the  "cause"  of  the  dismiwals,  and  the  Com- 
missioners have  not  filed  at>tat4iment  of. tbelr^ reasons 
for  them.  i 

When  the  farrical  proceedings  reported  aboVe  were 
over.  Commissioner  Perley  made  a  cliarL'e'  that  a 
dork  named  Barrett,  appointed  through  the  influence 
of  ex-Mayor  Wickham,  was  seldom  at  his  desk,  and 
had  scarcely  done  more  than  10  days'  work  for  10 
months,  foinmissioner  Gorman  made  a  great  show 
of  Indignation  upon  hearing  this.  and.  saying  there 
should  l«<  no  sinecures  in  the  Fire  Department,  be 
moved  that  Barrett  be  called  l>efore  the  board 
forthwith.  He  could  not  be  found,  and 
Chief  Clerk  Terhune  could  give  no  reason 
for  his  absense.  An  investigation  is  to  be  made  into 
tho  c&Sfi  of  Mr.  liarrett  at  the  next  session  of  tho 
Btjard.  Commissioner  Pcrley  says  that  Barrett  is  not 
a  resident  of  this  City  and  was  not  one  when  he  was 
appointed  a  ckrk  in  the  l-^re  Department,  but  resided 
for  a  short  time  at  tbe  Gilsey  House. 


THE  OCEANPORT  DISASTER. 

CONCLUSION  OF  THE  INQUEST, 

THE  ACCIDENT  CAUSED  BY  THE  CARELESSNESS 
OP  JOHN  CONROW,  THE  BRIDGE-MASTER — 
HE  GAVE  THE  SAFETY  SIGNAL  WITHOUT 
HAVING  FIRST  SEEN  TO  THE  SECURITY 
OF  THE  DRAW — LOWER  RATES  OP  SPEED 
DEMANDED  IN  CROSSING'  BRIDGES — ^AR- 
REST OP  CONBOW. 

From  Our  Oton  Co^jpondent. 

Long  Branch.  N.  J.,  Wednesday.  Aug.  15, 1877. 
The  inquest  concerning  the  death  of  C.  Ed- 
ward Ver  Muelen,  or  the  investigation,  as  it  is  in  a 
wider  sense,  as  to  the  cause  of  the  Oceanport  disaster 
on  the  Long  Branch  division  of  the  Central  Railroad 
of  New-Jersey,  was  renewed  hereto-day,  and  brought 
to  a  conclusion.  The  deliberation  of  the  jurj-  was 
long,  {it  lasted  abont  two  hours.)  and  resulted  in  a 
verdict  which  aflflrined  in  the  usual  form  the  cause  of 
death,  but  took  also  a  step  or  two  further.  The  acci- 
dent was  laid  at  the  door  of  the  draw-tender.  John 
Conrow,  who  was  held  blamable  for  giving  the 
safety  signal  to  the  approaching  train  without  having - 
first  seen  to  the  security  of  the  draw  ;  and  the  ver- 
dict also  expressed  the  opinion  of  the  jury  that  tho 
safety  of  tho  traveling  public  demands  a  lower  rate 
of  speed  iu  crossing  those  bridges.  Tbe  first  witnesses 
examined  to-day  were  two  of  the  boys  who  were  on 
the  draw-bridge  when  the  accident  occurred.  One  of 
these,  David  Ijemon,  a  lad  of  12  years,  said  that  he 
was  fishing  on  the  bridge  at  the  time.  Conrow,  he  said, 
told  two  other  boys,  Zoble  and  Clayton,  to  put  the 
red  flags  out:  he  had  the  lever  in  his:  hand  ;  did  not 
see  him  do  anything  >rith  tho  latch  that  locked  the 
bridge ;  did  not  see  him  open  the  bridge  for  Price  to 
let  the  sail-boat  through ;  he  told  the  boys  to  bring 
in  the  red  flag;  there  wasn't  anybody  near  the  latch 
that  locked  the  draw  except  Conrow  ;  the  l>oys  Zoble 
and  Clayton  put  up  and  took  down  the  red  fiags  ;  no 
white  flag  wais  put  up.  but  Conrow  had  it  in  his  hand ; 
he  never  knew  of  any  boys  touching  tbe  latch ;  he 
conld  open  it  if  he  tried ;  was  pretty  sure  that  Con- 
row did  Tint  touch  the  latch. 

Henr>'  iloble.  one  of  the  boys  who  carried  tho  fiags, 
was  called.  He  is  only  9  years  of  age,  and  was  asked 
to  tell  the  storj'of  the  accident  as  it  appeared  to  him, 
but  was  not  sworn.  His  account  of  the  matter  was 
substantially  the  same  as  that  told  by  the  other  boy. 
He  was  positive  that  Conrow  did  not  open  the 
bridge. 

William  Berlin  was  next  examined,  nn'l  testified 
that  bo  was '100  or  500  yards  below  the  draw  in  a 
boat  when  tho  acrident  occurred;  the  train,  he 
thought,  was  going  rather  faster  than  u.-^iia! ;  it  was 
going,  ho  thought,  4,0  miles  an  hour ;  he  could  not 
pee  what  Conrow  was  doutg  when  tho  train  was  com- 
inc;  when  the  accident  occurred  witness  went  on 
down  the  river  in  his  boat. 

A  Juror — Why  did  you  not  turn  back  aud  render 
assistance  /  A. — I  was  so  scared  I  did  not  know  what 
1  was  doing. 

To  the  Coroner — T  did  not  tell  a  Mr.  Barnard  that 
I  was  under  the  bridge  when  tho  accident  happened ; 
I  was  afraid  to  be  under  the  bridge,  as  I  thought  the 
train  would  run  off  some  day.  Witness  admitted 
that  his  estimate  of  the  speed  of  the  train  (40  miles 
an  hour)  was  only  guess-work. 

Mr.  A.  ii.  Brown,  contractor,  the  builder  of  tho 
bridge,  testified  as  follows:  The  Oceanport  bridge 
would  stand  tbe  weight  of  four  locomotives  on  any 
part  of  it,  and  tbe  draw  two;  we  found  a  better 
bottom  for  this  bridge  than  for  any  on  the  line;  I 
constructed  only  tho  wood-work,  not  the. draw;  I 
know,  however,  of  the  coustruction  of  the  latch ;  it 
would  be  impitsBibli!  for  a  i»iissing  train  to  open 
it ;  all  the  latclies  on  tbe  line  are  of  tho  same  kind  ; 
it  is  not  madn  fast  with  a  padlock  and  key  ;  that 
could  be  ilone.  however  ;  thedraw-brid>;e  in  ijnestion 
is  as  good  and  secure  as  any  in  U-str  :  1  do  not  know

cjwne  on.  but  I  have  nothing  upon  whicn  to  found  my

to  keeping  boys  o:T  the  track. 

Conrow,  the  ciraw  tender,  was  recalled,  and  said 
that  he  himself  had  written  lo  Mr.  Stearnsi  on  the 
same  subject,  but  getting  no  answer  got  Lsyton  to

tbe  letter  and  signed  it  with  witness'  name:  Mr.

c<mimunications;  deeming  it  to  b«  the  company's 
business  to  give  him  instructions,  and  not  nceiving 
any.  he  c(»nAnde<l  to  allow  the  bnvs  to  come  on  the 
bridge.  In  referen<;e  to  the  workinii  of  tbe  bridge, 
he  said  that  the  '-ompany  had  neglected  to  supply 
him  with  requisites;  be  bad.  for  instance,  been 
obliged  to  work  the  bridge  for  six  m<inths  with  ordy 
two  red  lamps  when  he  should  have  had  ficir  ;  the 
steps  of  the  wide  cars,  he  said,  came  \riihin  1*.^  or  13

THE  COyKLiyGITES  AAD  THE  GERMANS. 
From  the  Sew- 1  ork  AUgemeine  Zeitun^,  (RepubUetxn^) 
Aug.  13. 
Everybody  must  have  been  astonished  to 
see  how  Senator  Conkling,  in  the  speech  made 
by  him  on  his  return  to  American  soil,  soft- 
sawdered  tbe  Germans  and  covered  their 
mouths  thickly  with  honey.  Some  see  in  the 
role  given  to  ex-J  udgo  Dittenhoefer  u  intro- 
ductory orator  not  an  accident  but  a  deliberate  pUn. 
And,  moreover,  the  emphatic  declaxation  in  the  sfteech 
of  Mr.  Conkling  justifies  tho  assumption  that  there 
is  a  deeper  meaning  in  it.  espociallv  when  it  is  re- 
membered what  position  tins  clique  has  for  years 
taken  toward  the  Germans,  and  the  ptmishment 
which  these  despisers  of  the  Germans  received  in 
some  of  the  late  elections.  The  iittivists,  who  on 
every  occasion  jiarado  their  Americauism,  and  who 
need,  as  in  Coukling's  case,  a  travel  of  only  four 
weeks  in  foreign  countries,  in  order  to  become  better 
Americans,  are  in  tbe  full  sense  of  the  word  Bour- 
bons. They  learn  nothing  and  foi^et  nothing,  and 
have  no  enlarged  views  of  the  world.  If,  notwith- 
standing tbe  New- York  Senator  with  unralstakabla 
intention  mentions  the  Germans  in  his  speech  in  a 
prominent  way,  it  follows  that  tbe  speaker's  clique 
nas  at  least  come  to  the  conviction  that  the  Germans 
cannot  be  overlooked  in  pohtics,  and  that  finally  cer- 
tain concessions  have  to  be  made  to  them.  »  *  • 
It  is  not  here  our  purpose  to  go  into  any  deeper  ob- 
se.r\'ationa  of  the  iuoiridual  qualities  of  the  adherents 
of  the  Conkling  clan.  Be  it  sufficient  to  state  to-day, 
that  it  seems  as  if  this  wing  of  the  party  has  at  last 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  justice  must  be  done  tho 
Germans,  if  only  for  the  contemptible  reason 
that  they  are  needed.  Whether  the  German  heart  and 
understanding  may  be  easily  reconquered  after 
a  number  of  years,  during  which  he  has  been 
driven  with  contumely  into  tho  hostile  camp, 
is  a  (question  which  has  its  seriouJs  aspect. 
The  historical  "  e'ett  trop  tard "  may  here 
avenge  itself  on  the  Conkbng  party.  Conkling 
believed  until  recently  that  he  had  the  Germans  in 
his  pocket,  if  becreatedafewGerman  "ofJice-holders," 
who  on  every  small  and  great  occasion  naove  as 
automatons.  This  act  of  tho  master  throtigh.  his 
creatures  is,  however,  somethinc  entirely  different 
from  a  political  action  of  the  Germans  at  large. 
ConkUng  has  had  the  "  oflice-holders  "  in  his  pocket, 
but  not  a  single  man  who  has  no  ufilce  and  does  sot 
want  any. 

RVMORED  .SALE  OF  TIIE   WORLD. 
From  Vi€  Insurance  Rt'itorfer. 
Mr.  Stilson  J.Hutchings,  of  the  St.  Louis  Times, 

is  now  in  this  City.  Tbe  object  of  bis  visit,  it  is 
stated,  is  to  purchase  the  New-York  World.  It  seems 
that  Mr.  Hutchiugs  about  a  year  ago  was  on  here 
with  an  eye  open  to  the  accomplishment  of  this  ob- 
ject. When  he  returned  to  St.  Louis  he  sent  W.  P. 
Thompson,  a  successful  '*  rat''  printer  in  that  city,  on 
here  to  see  what  could  be  done  toward  reducing  the 
pH<-e  of  composition  on  the  daily  papers  in  this 
<-ity  before  comniittlnir  himself  in  a  direct  offer. 
Thompson,  acting  under  instmctions.  made  hia 
first  effort  on  th'>  Graphic.  Successful  in  tbi«. 
he  approached  Mr.  Hiu-lberi,  of  the  TTorW,  but 
hJs  offers  were  so  entirely  antagonistic  to  the  rub-. 
by  which  the  composing  room  of  that  paper  had  been 
governed  that  Mr.  llurlbert  first  hesitated,  then  de- 
clined. Mr.  Hut<jhings  being  informed  of  tne  result, 
instructed  Thompson  to  make  the  same  offer  to 
another  morning  paper,  with  a  forfeiture  of  $5,000 
attached  if  hewasn-'t  suc^esslHil  in  carryinc  ii  out. 
Tho  THbune  was  the  one  selected,  and  in  its  dire  dis- 
tress eagerly  bit  at  tho  bait.  The  offer  was  tempt- 
ing; either  STOO  per  week  saved  or  a  cool  $5,000 
added  to  tho  rrt&u/ie'#  depleted  bank  account  at  the 
end  of  a  specified  time.  Hutchings  was 
Thompson's  backer.  He  was  willing  to  risk 
the  So.  000,  for  if  Tliompson  was  successful  he 
would  lose  no  money,  and.  l>eing  then  able  to 
calculate  tne  lowest  possibl'j  expense  upon  which  a 
morning  paper  could  be  run  in  this  City,  he  conld  fix 
a  price  at  which  he  would  purchase  the  TToWd.  the 
i;oal  of  his  ambition.  On  the  1st  of  September  the 
time  expires  for  which  the  forfeiture  was  put  up. 
In  the  meantime  Mr-  Hatchings  has  become  so  satis- 
)ie<l  of  sueeess  that  he  has  come  to  this  City  and 
made  a  direct  offer  of  $250,000  for  the  Wc/rld.  The 
owners  of  the  World  now  Ihmk  that  they  too  can 
pr.ssibly  run  the  pai>er  at  reduced  expense,  and 
hence,  while  a  short  time  since  they  would  have  ac- 
cepied  tlii<  amoiuit.  they  now  demand  $300,000. 
Those  who  Xjrofess  to  be  informed  say  that  the  pur- 
ehase  will  be  made  and  Stilson  .![.  Hutchings  become 
the  proprietor  of  the  New- York  World. 


A  PRIEST  FLXED  FOR  REiyO  DRVXE. 
Kev.  Father  Leunon,  a  Roman  Catholic  priest, 
of  Boston,  was  arraigned  yesterday  before  Justice 
Otto,  iu  the  First  Preanct  Station,  Newark.  N.  J., 
cli.irged  with  drunkenness  and  breaking  of  the  i>eace. 
His  brother  preferred  the  first  charge,  and  Mr. 
Thomas  W.  Seaman  the  s^fonJ.  He  entered  the 
laitor's  residence  yesterday  while  in  a  state  of  intoxi- 
cation and  demanded  whisky  from  Seaman's  wife. 
threatening  to  do  her  harm  if  she  refused.  His  ap- 
pearunee  indicated  that  he  had  been  on  a  spree. 
His  eyes  were  bloodshot,  and  his  countenance 
h.Hd  the  expression  of  a  man  just  recovering  from  a 
drunken  debauch.  His  night  s  incarceration  In  the 
eeli  had  the  elfect  of  s*-tberii:s  hitu.  and  he  apparently 
realized  the  depth  of  decradntion  to  which  he  had 
fallen.  His  eyes  filled  with  tears  and  hU  voice  was 
treniulou?  vrith  emoli'tn.  In  resiMjuse  to  Justice  Otto's 
query  he  said  he  was  a  Catholic  priest,  that  his 
home  was  in  boston,  and  that  he  came  to  Newark 
some  days  since  to  visit  his  brother.  He  admitted 
his  guilt,  but  claimed  that  it  was  his  first  offense, 
nnd  appean'd  verj' mui-h  shocked  when  told  he  had 
insulted  u  laJy.  "Well,  reverend  father, "  said  the 
J/asti-  e.  *'  I  am  sorry  to  see  you  here,  but  I  shall 
liave  to  tine  you  -*10.  oT  commit  you  to  the  County 
.luil  for  HO  davs."  f  be  fine  was  paid  by  the  unfor- 
tunate man  s  brother.

■Wednesdav,  Aug.  15-.-P.  il. 
The  stock  market  lo-day  was  active  and 
*seited,  and  except  at  rare  inter\*aU  character- 
ized br  decided  strencrtti.  "Western  Union  at- 
tracted the  ^eatest  share  of  attention  from 
epeculators,  and  was  exceedingly  buoyant,  re- 
cording an  advance  of  4  ^  cent,  on  the  day's 
transactions.  The  bull  party  in  the  stock 
are  naturally  quite  jubilant  over  the  success 
-crhlch  has  so  far  attended  their  operations,  and 
t;ilk  confidently  of  much  higher  prices  for 
the  stock.  Th.e  advance  to-day  was  accompa- 
nied by  nimora  that  the  joint  committee  repre- 
ecnting  the  two  telegraph  oomps^iieB,  at  its  ses- 
bIou  last  evening,  had  agreed  'upon  a  basis 
of  settlement,  and  that  the  adjournment 
to  Monday  next  was  f  Or  the  purpose  of  arranging 
ihedetaila  of  the  agreement.  The  bear  clique, 
however,  claim  that  these  reports  are  devoid  of 
foondation,  and  ascribe  the  improvement  in  the 
pried  entirely  to  speculative  manipulation.  The 
Btrttngtb  of  TVestem  Union  was  sympathized 
with  by  nearly  the  entire  list,  which,  advanced 
l<2  to  2  per  cent.,  Michigan  Central,  Sock

AS£  CITY  ASSESSMENTS  TOO  EIGSf 

A  KmCBEB  OF  BBOKEBS  mSOUSSIKO  TEE 
1CA.TTE&  WITH  THE  8TA2*E  ASSESSOBS — 
THE  CrrrPATIHG  HOBB  THAK  ITS  FAJB 
PROPOBTIDN  OF  STATE  TAXBS  —  OPIN- 
IONS OF  ^AX-COUHZSSIONSB  AKD&EWS 
A2n>  OTHSSSS. 
Messrs.  BriggSfHadley,  and  Fowler,  the  State 
Assessors,  together  \with  some  geutlemen  more  or 
less  pTDzninently  knov.n  in  eotmeetion  with  real  es- 
tate aftairs  in  this  Citf.,  met  together  in  the  office  of 
Mr.  Hngh  N.  Camp,  atNo.  152  Broadway,  on  Tuesday 
aitemooa.  The  object«o<  the  mteetiag  was  the  dis- 
cassioii  of  the  pres^it  wessed  vmloes  of  property  in 
this  City,  in  comparison  with  the  assessments  in  the 
other  coontias  of  New-Tork  State.  The  complaint 
that  the  assessed  values  of  unimproved  property  in 
the  npper  -vrards  of  this  City  are  too  high  is  one  that 
has  been  heard  frequently  eTeT-.since  the  beginning  of 
the  present  diUness  tn  the  ma^et  for  houses  and 
IsBds.  Most  of  the  gentlemieu  who  met  the  State 
Aaaesflors  in  Mr.  Camp's  office  on  Tuesday 
hold  lots  tn  the  upper  part  of  the  (Hty  which 
they  think  are  assessed  for  mors  than  their  fall  value. 
Tlie  opinion  was  expressed  during  Tuesday's  meet- 
ing that,  on  the  whole,  the  real  estat«  on  Manhattan 
Island  Was  taxed  upon  its  true  valoe,  which  is  re- 
^rded  aa  considera^lylBsger  than  thevalues  obtained 
in  forced  sales  in  th^Exchknge  sales-room  ;  and  that, 
in  many  instances,  the  laim  lands  in  the  interior  of 
the  State  are  assessed  at  too  16w  a  figure.  For  in- 
stance, there  were  farms,  it  was  said,  which  would 
bring,  if  Bold  to-day,  from  $25,000  to  $30,000, 
which  are  set  down  in  the  tax-books  at  from.  $5,000 
to  ijtfi.OOO. 

It  is  the  business  of  the  State  Assessors  to  e<insl- 
izc  the  assessments  throughout -the  State,  so  that  one 
district  does  not  bear  a  larger  share  of  the  burden  of 
the  State  tax  than  another.  For  a  number  of  years 
New- York  City  paid  at  least  one-half  of  the  entire 
State  tax.  Last  vear  was  the  first  In  a 
long  series  of  years  In  which  the  City- 
paid  less  than  one-half  of  the  tax.  Hr. « 
Briggs  and  his  two  associates  have  worked 
in  the  interior  counties  of  the  State,  and  In  18 
counties  they  have  caused  a  very  thoxiQugh  overhaul- 
ing of  the  tax-books  to  be  made.  Tn©  assessed 
values  of  property  in  the  StutA,  outside  of  New -York, 
now  rani^  from  25  per  cent,  to  60  per  cent,  of 
the  market  values  of  that  propertv-  The  gentlemen 
who  met  the  State  Assessors  in  Mr.  Camp's  oflSce  on 
Tuesdav  were  Messrs.  W.  H.  Lee.  Jonn  H.  Sher- 
wood. J.  H.  Godwin,  Horace  S,  Ely,  Morris  Wilkins, 
v'epresentlng  £.  H.  Ludlow  &  Co.,  Louis  Phillips,  L. 
6'riedman,  and  F.  H.  Cassett.  The  meeting  was 
u.  strictly  private  one.  and  Mr.  Camp  has  refused  to 
B*.'''  anything  concerning  it. 

A  -  real  estate  broker  who  was  present,  however, 
sale  to  a  Times  reporter,  that  he  knew  of  property 
in  c«-rtain  parts  of  this  Citv  which  was  assessed  for 
folly  10  i)er  cent,  more  than  its  value.  Asain,  he 
^d.  ^.he  assessments  were  very  unequal  in  different 
p&rts  t'f  the  City.  A  piece  of  improved  property, 
for  whl*h  he  was  the  affcnt.  on  Burllng-sUp  was 
vaJued  at  $17,000.  and  assessed  for  $15,000.  or  32 
l>er  cent..;  abnildingand  lot  on  South-street,  valued  at 
g23.000.'  was  assessed  for  $20,000.  or  90  per  cent, 
nf  its  value  :  a  building  and  lot  on  Beekman-street 
was  assessai  for  84  per  cent,  of  its  value  :  a  piece  of 
property  in  Waverley-place  for  92'per  cent,  of  its 
vfilae.  whil9  a  house  and  lot  in  Greene-street  was 
assessed  for*  only  70  per  e«nt.  of  its  value.  He 
thought  that  there  should  be  a  thorough  reassess- 
jnent  of  City-rropertv.  Values  had  depreciated  from 
;iO  to  40  per  ft>nt.  &e  held  lots  in  North  Xew- Vori: 
which  he  valued  at  $H0  t-aco,  which  were  assessed  o  ■ 
975  each,  and  which  when  sold  by  ■■  uc- 
lion  brought  from  JjXi.'J  to  $37  each.  He  knew-., 
property  in  that  Bieh?hDorhood  which  was  assessed 
lor  $ll?O00  before-  the  annexation,  which  was  after- 
ward assessed  for  3*26.000.  This  Keutleman  said 
that  he  re«*ognizedti»  i:»»od  work  which  had  been 
done  in  this  matter  by  Tax  Commissioner  Andrews. 

3Ir.  Morris  Wilkins.  however,  of  the  firm  of  E.  H. 
Ludlow  A  0«..  thought  that  iu-order  to  make  the  re- 
duction of  the  a<4)ies8ed  valuen  of  City  property 
rractical.  a  reduction  ought  tlrvt  to  be  made  In  the 
ity's  expense*.  The  deoartmenls.  he  thoueht.  were 
maoased  too  extrava<aiitly.  Mr.  L.  Priedmsn 
was  perfectly  willing  to  talk.  He  thought  that 
the  assessed  valoes  were  tmtirtfly  too  high.  The 
I  :iy  would  have  to  encnmbt-r  itiietf  with  vast 
amounts  of  City  pn>pftrty  whojwt  owners  cunid  not 
ifford  to  pay  their  taxes.  Tliese  opprfssfd  people, 
s.iid  Mr.  Friedmaji.  are  the  City's  snpporu-rs.  and  the 
titv  should  cnre  f or  thedr  interests.  "  The  llty  of 
New.  York."  he  remarked  truthfully.  "  is  not  a  pawn- 
ttroker's  shop."  He  said  that  he  held  a  lot  on  Fifth- 
ivenue.  between  One  Htindred  and  Tenth  and  One 
Elrndred  and  Eleventh  streets,  of  which  the  assessed 
vaiue  was  $8,000.  which  he  would  sell  for  $4,000.

.M  r.  George  H.  Andrews,  the  Tax  Commissioner, 
f.iid  to  a  Times  reporter  yesterday  that  the  State 
Assessors  were  proceeding  in  this  matter  upon  the 
basis  of  tht*  assessments  of  1^70,  as  they  were  re- 
ijuired  to  by  law.  The  assessment  books  for  1877 
were  not  yet  made  up  in  the  other  counties  of  the 
t^iate.  The  books  for  this  year  were  made  up  in  this 
V\vy,  and  great  reductions  had  been  made  on  the  as- 
•essments  of  1876.  3Ir.  Andrews  said  that 
the  as.«ies6ments  upon  unimproved  property 
in  1373  were  a  great  deal  less  than  "  50  per 
cent,  of  the  prices  which  such  property  was  then 
sold  for.  The  Tax  Commtononers  were  then  blamed 
by  the  State  Assessors  nnd-the  press  for  not  increas- 
ing the  aiwessments,  but  they  looked  upon  those 
pii'*es  as  fictitious  and  BpecnJatlve.  and  declined  to 
jnake  them  the  bAi<is  of  assesninent.  After 
Ihe  revulsion  of  1H73  those  unimproved  lots, 
or  rather  the  holders  of  them,  were  the  flrrt 
to  feel  the  shock  of  the  financial  crisis. 
The  assessments  were  so  low.  however,  that  it  was 
not  until  1876  that  selling  prices  ^t  down  to  their 
3eveL  In  the  assessed  values  of  1877,  reductions 
Bmountine  to  more  than  $3,000,000,  he  said,  had 
lieen  made  on  tmimproved  property  In  the  Twelfth, 
'I^iaeteeiith.  and  Twenty-second  Wsjds.  It  was  true 
that  in  1876  some  property  \n  those  wards  sold 
for  15  or  20  per  cent,  below  the  assessed 
values,  but  those  aasessmenta  ware  made  in 
fk-picmber,  lfi75.  and  new  ones  had  since 
ttfcn  made.  Within  a  fortnigtrt  tlie  Tax 
Commissioners  would  befdn  to  make  up  the  assess- 
ment books  for  1878.  He  could  not  say  what  re- 
ductions would  be  made;  but  he  did  not  think  that 
the  assessments  for  1877  were  higher  than  the  value 
of  the  np-town  lots,  althoush  It  was  difflctilt  to  learn 
what  the  value  was  of  property  which  no  one  cared 
to  huy.  Mr.  James  A.-  Brisics.  of  the  Board  of  ±5tate 
4,9sessors,  was  not  in  this  City  yesterday.

wUnation  of  property  was  no  criterion  by  which  its

worth  at  the  present  time,  and  explained  his  reasons  for 
askine  by  KAying  that  he  was  testing  the  Icnowledge  of 
the  witness  as  a  real  estate  expert.  Mr.  Laimocer 
said  that  he  had  seen  the  time  when  houses  on  the 
south  side  of  Fortv-flfth-street  brought  ^70,000 
each,  hut  he  puts  their  present  value  at  prices  rang- 
ing from  ^15,000  to  $17,000  each.  Some  houses  on 
the  opposite  or  north  side  of  the  street  he  did  not 
consioor  worth  more  than  $12,000  or  $15,000. 
as  they  wore  not  in  his  estimation  first  class 
either  in  style  or  material.  These  houses 
brought  about  $9,000  In  1860,  and  he  advised  a 
friend,  since,  not  to  purchase  at  $15,000.  He  said 
that  a  vacant  flot  on  that  street  In  that  neishhorhood 
would  be  worth  810,000.  He  did  not  think  that 
land  had  dbcrnased  in  viOno  siztre  '  1873.  and  at- 
tributed the  decline  in  tho  value  of  property  to  the 
depredation  in  the  cost  of  building  mnterials  and 
labor.  The  property  on  the  east  side  of  the  <Jity  had 
not  suiferod  from  tfcils  depreciation  as  much  ns  that 
on  the  west  side,  because  the  huHdings  on  the  east 
side  were  not  of  so  good  a  character ;  tliere  are  no 
lar^,  expensive  stores' ;  while  on  the  west  side  the 
buildings  are  of  more  value  and  do  not  rent  for  a 
sufficient  amount  to  make  a  profitable  return  upon  the 
capital  invested.  The  buildmfis  on  the  east  side  are 
largely  the  original  dwelling-houses,  put  up  vears 
ago,  before  the  City  extended  beyond  Canal-street. 
They  are  now  used  for  business  purposes,  and  still 
bring  in  a  fair  proportion  of  their  cost  in  rental. 
The  character  of  the  depreciation  in  the  property 
above  Fourteenth-street  depends  altogether  upon 
the  character  and  wealth  of  the  persons  now  in  pos- 
session of  it.  Mr.  Xjaimbeer  thoujiht  that  property 
in  the  hands  of  such  men  as  Connor,  Low.  Morgan, 
Dix,  Hendricks,  and  others  of  that  live  character, 
had  not,  nor  would  it,  decrease  in  value.  It 
was  only  the  property  that  was  forced  upon  the  mar- 
ket that  suffered.  Although  he  anticipated  a  still 
further  reduction  in  rents,  he  said  that  he  would  ad- 
vise all  persons  to  hold  on  to  the  property  in  fheir 
possession.  He  knew  a  case  where  the  Lorillard  es- 
tate had  recently  purchased  a  biul^mg  on  Broadway, 
between  Houston  and  Bleeeker  streets,  for  $40,000. 
which  was  worth  in  1870  and  1871  nearly  .$70,000. 
The  reason  the  sale  was  made  was  because  the  owner 
wanted  the  money,  the  place  was  not  rented,  and  ho 
could  not  afford  to  have  his  capital  lying  idle.  The 
witness  was  also  of  opinion  that  much  property  had 
been  sacrificed  in  the  upper  wards  of  the 
City  where  many  builders  had  put  up  houses 
on  speculation,  but  this  was  owing  to  the  owner's  in- 
ability to  find  either  tenant  or  purchaser  at  reasona- 
ble figures.  None  of  the  panics  that  had  occurred  had 
had  such  a  long  continuwi  and  depressing  efi'ect  upon 
property  as  that  of  1R73.  The  panic  of  lSr»7  was 
an  affair  of  10  days,  and  real  estate  commencpd  to 
recover  within  30days.  The  witn&ssdid  not  remember 
any  serious  depreciations  in  the  price  of  property 
since,  and  from  1H60  to  1873  there  was  a  steady 
rise.  He  did  not  think  that  there  was  any  better 
feeling  in  the  real  estate  market,  nor  did  he  have  any 
knowledge  of  any  desire  on  the  part  of  capitalists 
to  invest  in  this  class  of  propertj-,  except  in  cases 
where  they  have  opportunity  to  purchase  at  a  bar-

A   FINANCIAL  SENSATION  SPOILED, 


A2H  TTNFOTTXDED  STORY  OF  TROUBLE  IN  THE 
rOUR  PER  CENTUM  SYNDICATE — ONLY  A 
DISPUTE  BETWEEN  FIRMS  —  THE  NEW 
LOAN  ENTIREILT  UNAFFECTED. 
The  sensational  story  published  in  a  morning 
newspaper  yesterday,  that  a  serious  dispute  is  in 
progress  between  tho  new  4  per  cent,  syndi- 
cate and  certain  members  of  the  old  4^  per 
cent,  syndicate  ;  that  a  suit  has  been  begun,  and  that 
the  success  of  the  new  loan  has  been  disastrously 
affected,  has  only  this  foundation  ;  The  4%  per  cent. 
loan  syndicate,  formed  a  year  ago  last  August, 
comprised  the^ Rothschilds.  Dreiel  &  Co.,  Seligman 
&  Co.,  and  "Morton.  Bliss  &  Co.  and  associates," 
the  latter  consi.^tinH  of  the  Merchants'  National 
Bank,  the  American  Exchange  National  Bank,  the 
National  Bank  of  Now- York,  the  Third  National 
Bank,  Winslow,  Lanier  &  Co..  Kuhn,  Loeb  &  Co., 
and  the  United  States  Trust  Company — Morton, 
Bliss  &  Co.  being  empowered  to  sign  for  these 
in  the  form  given  sl>ove.  and  alone  appearing; 
in  the  matter.  The  amount  of  the  loan 
was  to  have  been  $300,000,000  in  $1,0CK>  bonds, 
but  when  the  time  for  the  subscriptions 
expired  Sccretar\' Sherman  decided  on  withdrawing 
$100,000,000  and  substitulinK  a  new  loan  of  bomls 
of  smaller  denominati<m,  lieanng  interest  at  4-  jmt 
cent,  annually.  He  thcrf-fore  refused  tho  syndi- 
cate's request  for  an  extension  of  time.  They  vrvul 
on  to  'Washington  to  we  him  abtmt  the  matter,  Mor- 
ton, Bli.'^s  &  Co.  Jipjx-aring.  as  u-snal,  for  themselves 
and  associates.  Tlio  Secretary  was  unchanseabJe  ; 
so  the  old  syndicate  was  dissolved  and  a  new  one 
formed  for  placini;  tlie  new  4  per  cent.  loan.  Tho 
following  firms  were  admitted  into  it  :  Thi-  Roths- 
chilil.s.  Augimt  B^^lmont  H:  Co..  I>rexel  &  Co..  Drexel. 
Morgan  &  Ci»..  fv-ligman  &  Co.,  the  First  National 
Bank,  and  Morton,  ISliss  &  Co.  The  latter's  "  as- 
HwisteH"  were  consequf-ntly  left  out  in  the  cold.  This 
is  the  origin  of  the  tii.«iputo.  The  *'  associates"  wore 
very  angry.  Tliey  charged  that  Morton,  Bliss  &  Co. 
exceeded  their  authority  Jn  ^i^ing  away  all 
their  [the  associates']  ricrhts  in  the  old  sj-n- 
dicate,  and  claimed  that  that  firm  should 
make  go(«l  to  them  their  interest  in  the  profits 
that  wonld  have  arisen  out  of  the  withdrawn 
$100,000,000  of  4  4)  i>.^rcenl.  bonds.  This  Miirton. 
Bliss  &  Co.  refused  to  do.  and  a  lawsuit  was  thrent- 
ened.  Morton.  Bliss  &  Co.  referred  the  would-be 
litigants  to  their  law>-ers.  and  there  the  matter  has 
rested.  No  suit  has  been  lieeun.  nor  is  it  likely  that 
anj-tliing  more  will  be  done  in  the  matter.  The  dis- 
pute is  sim^jly  between  Morton.  Bliss  Ji^  Co.  and  the 
firms  mentioned  above.  wh<i  were  their  "  a«Hociate.s  " 
in  the  old  syndicate.  The  new  syndicate  ha»;  nothing 
whatever  to  do  with  it.  iVjth  sides  atrree  that  it  is 
utterly  absurd  to  say  that  the  quarrel  hai  had  any 
effect  upon  the  OT)enitions  of  the  new  syndicate,  and 
the  '*  associate  "  firms  -claim  that  if  such  a  result 
were  possible,  they  would  be  ready  to  sink  their  in- 
dividual intere»L»i  to  avert  it.  Tho  lowest 
rate  of  the  4  per  centum  bonds  has 
been  99  5-lH.  a  temporary  reduction  in  conse- 
quence of  Wall-street  manipulntion.  These  bonds 
are  to-day  slightly  above  par,  and  tuere  is  no  danger 
of,  their  selling  at  a  discount  as  stated.  CounKplr)r 
Johu  E.  Parsons  is  out  of  to^vn.  but  his  confidential 
clerk  Rays  it  is  not  true  that  he  has  been  retained  in 
the  matter.  President  Tienrce  S.-Coe.  of  tho  Amer- 
ican Elxchange  National  Bank,  says  that  his  recent 
visit  to  Washington  had  nothing  to  do  with  the  dis- 
pute. There  are  numerous  other  misstatements  in 
the  article  referred  to.  The  several  jtartifs  inter- 
ested were  ver>-  reticent  yesterday,  and  generally  de- 
clined to  enter  Into  detailson  theCTOund  that  the  dis- 
pute was  an  old  one,  and  could  have  no  jwissible  in- 
terest for  the  public.  TTi*"  above  facts  w*>Te  cathered. 
however,  after  careful  inquiry,  from  antboritativo 
sources,  and  may  be  regarded  as  substantially  corruct. 


THE  SINKING  FUND  COMmSSION. 


OBJECTIONS  BT  THE  HOEOKEN  FERRY  COM- 
PANY TO  THE  PROPOSED  SYSTEM  OP  LEAS- 
ING THE  FERRIES — THEY  ARE  IN  FAVOR 
OF  SELLING  THE  FRANCHISES  AT  A  ROUND 
SUM. 

The  question  of  leasing  ferry  fmnchi.icfl  on 
an  appraised  value  of  .T  per  cent,  of  the  gross  m- 
ceipts  taken  on  the  New- Vitrk  side  was  called  up  at 
a  meeting  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  Sinking  Fund 
yesterday,  and  Mr.  W.  \V.  Shippen,  of  the  Hohoken 
Ferry  Company,  was  heard  in  opposition  tn  the  ap- 
praisameut  and  tn  favor  of  selling  the  franchises  at  a 
round  sum.  Some  prominent  oBlcors  of  ferry  corpo- 
rations were  pre.«tent.  among  them  Mr.  D.  D.  Withers, 
Mr.  Jacob  Vanderbilt,  and  others.  Mr.  Shippen,  in 
expressing  his  views,  said  that  the  appraisement  of 
the  value  of  the  franchises  of  ferries  on  a  basis  of 
the  gross  receipts  should  be  superseded  by  tho  better 
plan  of  selling  such  franchises  at  a  round  sum.  The 
companies  which  desired  to  obtain  such  franchises 
had  Doata  and  every  other  reoulsite  for  their  ferries. 
and  they  were  willing  to  purcnaHo  them-  He  tnought 
it  would  be  well  to  have  the  ferry  companies  placed 
In  communication  with  the  Commissioners  of  the 
Sinking  Fund  so  as  to  have  an  upset  price  fixed  for 
the  franchises. 

Controller  Kelly  remarked  that  tmder  the  law  It 
was  the  duty  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  Sinking 
Fund  to  appraise  the  value  of  all  public  property  be- 
fore selling  it,  and  that,  if  they  did  otherwise,  they 
mizht  be  liable  to  indictment. 

Mr.  Shippen  replied  that  it  would  prove  minons  to 
some  of  the  ferry  companies  if  they  were  n'quired  to 
pay  five  per  cent,  of  the  gross  receipts  they  took  ou 
the  New- York  side. 

Recorder  Hackett  said  that  the  gentleman  [Mr. 
Shippen]  came  there  to  purchase  a  ferry  franchise, 
subject  to  the  conditions,  limitations,  and  restric- 
tions contained  in  the  advertisement  ordered  by  the 
CommisKioners  of  the  Sinking  Fund,  and  the  condi- 
tions were  made  public. 

Mr.  Shippen  here  observed  that  the  Hoboken 
Ferry  Companv  owned  their  ferry  property  on  the 
other  side,  and  they  therefore  occupied  au^isition 
that  any  other  bidder  could  not  assume-  Besides. 
they  had,  as  he  had  previously  stated,  the  boats  and 
other  requisites  for  their  ferries. 

OoL  Wingate  then  addressed  the  board  in  relation 
to  the  franchise  of  the  Staten  Island  Ferry,  and  the 
matter  was  referred  to  the  Corporation  Counsel. 

No  further  action  was  taken  on  the  question  of 
selling  ferry  franchises. 

A  resohition  was  adopted  directing  the  Controller 
to  issue  $50,000  of  dock  bonds  for  the  Dock  Depart- 
ment. A  petition  was  then  received  from  the  Ger- 
man School  Society,  praying  the  board  to  allow  them 
to  rettdn  the  premises  on  Eighty-flfth-street  and

LIBELING  HIS  BROTHER. 


AN  ATBOCIOUS  PERSECUTION 

A  PEOMINEin?  IMPOETER'S  SUIT  AGAINST  HIS 
BROTHER — THE  OFFENSE  ONCE  CONDONED 
AND  AGAIN  REPEATED — THE  ACCUSED 
HELD  IN  $10,000  BAIL— TEST  OP  THE 
LIBELOUS  PUBUCJTION. 
Detectives  O'Connor  and  Field,  of  the  District 
Attorney's  office,  wont  down  the  bay  on  Tuesday 
evening  to  await  the  arrival  from  Europe  of  the  steam- 
ship Ethiopia,  of  the  Anchor  Ltlne.  The  detectives 
held  a  bench  warrant,  issued  by  Judge  Sutherland, 
for  the  arrest  of  David  Macdonald.  a  passenger,  on  a 
charge  of  libel.  The  acctised  is  brother  of  Robert 
Macdonald,  the  well-known  importer  of  lace  goods, 
at  Nos.  64  and  66  Lispenard-street,  formerly  of  NO. 
468  Broadway,  in  this  City.  He  had,  as  alleged, 
mailed  libelous  matters  from  St.  Louis,  where  he  did 
business,  which  were  injuriotis  to  his  brother  Robert, 
and  not  satisfied  with  the  damage  done  to  that  gen- 
tleman's business  in  the  United  States,  he  had  gone 
to  Scotland  and  Ireland  with  the  avowed  intention  of 
destroying  his  brother's  credit  with  the  largo  houses  In 
those  countries.  Libel  not  being  an  extraditable  oSeTise^ 
he  always  manned  to  escape  ptmishment  by  keep- 
ing beyond  the  jurisdiction  of  New- York.  The  crim- 
inal indictment  against  him  was  filed  Nov.  2,  1876, 
but  no  opportunity  for  his  arrest  offered  until  his  re- 
turn fropi  Europe,  whither  ho  went  some  two  months 
since.  In  anticipation  of  that  event,  and  the  conse- 
quent appearance  of  the  offender  within  the  jurisdic- 
tion of  the  State  of  New- York,  Mr.  Samuel  G.  Court- 
ney, counsel  for  Robert  Macdonald,  instituted  civil 
proceedings  for  lilwl  before  Judge  Donohue,  and  ob- 
tained an  order  of  arrest  for  the  acctised,  ball  being 
fixed  at  $10,000.  The  complaint,  drawn  up  by  Mr. 
Courtney,  was  very  voluminous,  extending  over  60 
folios.  The  order  of  arrest  was  intrusted  to  Deputy 
Sheriff  McGonigal,  with  instructions  to  arrest  Mac- 
donald the  moment  he  landed.  Meanwhile,  the  Dis- 
trict Attorney  had  been  apprised  of  the  sailing 
of  the  accused  from  the  other  side,  and 
di-spatched  his  detectives  fo  execute  a  bench  warrant. 
Accordingly,  when  O'Connor  and  Field  reached 
the  pier  with  their  prisoner  they  found  the  Deputy 
Sheriff  in  waiting,  he  not  iK'ing  cognizant  of  tho  ac- 
tion of  the  criminal  authorities.  On  being  brought 
to  tiie  District  Attorney's  ofiBce,  Macdonald  was  ad- 
mitted to  hail  in  tho  sum  of  $1,500.  which,  after 
several  hours'  delay,  was  furnished  by  James  R. 
Bartholomew,  of  No.  1J).5  Greenwich -street.  Imme- 
diately after  bein^  released,  and  before  he  had  time 
to  leave  the  clerk  s  desk,  Macdonald  was  rearrested 
on  the  civil  proceedings  by  JIajor  Quincy,  order  of 
arrest  clerk.* who  was  in  watting,  and  taken  to  Lud- 
low-Street  Jail  in  default  of  $10,000  hail. 

The  friends  of  Mr.  Robert  Macflonald  characterize 
the  conduct  of  David  Macdonald  as  most  atrocious, 
and  that  of  his  injured  brother  aa  msKnaminous.  It 
apooars  that  about  10  years  ago  David  committed 
exactly  the  same  offense— circulating  printed  docu- 
ments, of  which  those  circulated  in  1S76  were 
.mainly  a  reproduction — to  the  great  Injtiiy  of  his 
brother's  ro])ntutinn  and  business.  Robert  endeav- 
ored to  conciliate  his  brother,  by  giving  him  money 
and  otherwise  benefitinc  him.  but.  as  alleKecl,  the  lat- 
ter showed  no  disi>o9ltion  to  cease  his  libelousattacks, 
and  Robert,  in  order  to  sustain  his  character  among 
his  business  acquaintances,  found  himself  forced 
to  appear  as  complainant  against  his  brother.  David 
was  indicted,  hut  pending  trial  made  tlie  fullest  re- 
tracliun  of  his  former  statements,  and  signed  a  writ- 
ten acreement  to  that  effect.  Holenmly  pnimistnii;  not 
to  offend  again.  This  amendi-  was  accepted  by  his 
brother,  and  the  prisoner  was  disc}ian;ed  tin  his  own 
rocogniznn«'o  by  the  late  Judge  Russell,  then  City 
Judge.  Siuf-e  tliat  time  l)avid  Macdouald  lias  done 
business  in  St.  Ixtuis,  and  it  was  supitosed  intendiMl 
to  live  up  to  his  promises  niailu  10  years  ligo.  His 
repetition  *>f  ih**  offense,  however,  hasdl.ssipated  that 
idea,  and  koh»«rt  Mac<hinald  Is  now  compelled,  in 
Belf-protectioTj.  to  take  all  i>os.slbIe  legal  measures  to 
put  a  stoTi  forever  to  thtk  circtilation  of  the  libeln. 
The  accu.'^ed  is  a  rather  fine-looking  man.  64  years  of 
age.  and  descril>es  himself  as  an  importer  in  St. 
Louis.  The  friends  of  Itobert  Mu'-donahl  say  that 
liavid's  libels  Imvu  been  cliTulated  thronirh  revenge, 
after  unsuccessful  attempt-n  to  extort  money  from  his 
brother. 

The  allegiHl  libel  is  contained  In  a  printed  circular 
dati-J  .St.  Louis.  Mo.  Mnri-h  -5.  1S76.  :ind  signed 
"David  .Miicdnnald."  S*»nm  'y.KKH)  of  these  docu- 
ments, it  is  alleged,  were  circulated  by  the  accused 
thnnigh  the  mails  in  tho  City  of  New  York,  therehy 
injuriiijj  very  materi;illy  the  btuiiness.  nn  well  as  tho

Free  I^ove  principles,  his  Wotxltiull  as,<<(x'iatlona.  his 
very  peculiar  and  criM>ke<l  ideas  of  business — 'ways 
that  are  dnrk.  and  tricks,'  &c. — I  had  incnrre<l  his 
{aptwirentlyl  et^Tiuil  hate;  but  the  true  cause  of  this 
alannltii:  rmidition  of  )ils  mind  was  the  fe:ir  tl^at  my 
coming  hen»  mii;ht  lessen  hLs  sales  in  the  auction 
rooms  of  St,  Ivouis :  antl  his  liatf  was  not  abated 
when,  after  cr<fwding  the  auction  rooms  to  such  an 
extt-nt  as  to  <festniy  all  valnes,  we  (Malcolm  and  my- 
self) threatened  him  in  such  a  manner  lliat  he  was 
obliged  to  abandon  the  auction-rooms  altocether  in 
this  City.  Sub»e<iuently,  when  Malcolm  repudiated 
my  arrangenitnt  with  a  partner,  ami  thr<*w  himself 
into  the  arms  of  this  enrnir^l  anction-snppUer.  he 
[Kobert'i  delllierately.  wickedly,  and  hellishly  plans.

partner  from  cnmirig  in ;  tu-f ond,  t**  deprive  me  and 
my  family  of  all  means  of . "Support  :  third,  to  hum- 
bug his  foolish  and  knavish  brother  by  Plopping  the 
business  here  entirely,  and  sending  him  to  his  liome 
bankrupt  in  niervnw  and  reputati4in." 

Tlie  alleged  litiel  Is  containcil  in  the  followinc  sec- 
tion of  the  cir-'iilar  :  ■■  In  the  matter  of  ftome  losses 
in  gold  in  l'^t»4,  Robert  Macdonald  has  falsely 
Htated  tiiat  he  Ion  money  by  me.  He  never  lost  one 
dollar.  In  a  private  leilger  which  he  removed  there 
was  at  my  cn-dit  funds  which  paid  these  losses.  His 
share  was  one-half,  but  he  robbed  mo  of  that  half. 
A  simple  solution  to  shift  tJiese  losses  was,  in  his 
opinion,  the  easiest  thing  in  the  world— only  to  make 
false  statements,  to  lie  about  It-  Ho  was  ready  to 
perjure  himself.  All  I  had  to  do  was  just  to  do  as  he 
wanted  me.  so  easy  ho  robbed  me.  I  black-mailed 
him.  ho  says,  and  I  threatened  him.  he 
says,  because  I  would  not  perjure  myself 
and  defend  nn  action  to  ho  made  t>y  Hallgarten  & 
Co.,  Iw-ause  I  would  not  make  entries  In  Inioks  to 
make  cold  losses  appear  as  merchandise  losseB  on 
consigned  goods.  By  cunning  and  by  force  I  was 
charge<l  with  his  share  of  Iohscb— charges  I  have 
never  submitted  to — and  but  for  mv  Inability  to  em- 
ploy counsel  would  havo  mndn  my  tftrcats  good.  Kx- 
ceptinir  one  item,  tho  lo.ss  on  widen  was  cl.-arly  ow- 
ing to  Hallgarten  &  Co.,  and  which  they  would  have 
had  to  stand,  he  knew  and  saw  the  results  of  every 
purchase  and  sale.  TSese  ofwrations  were  at  first  in 
his  name,  but  afterward  iransferre<l  Xn  mine  as  a 
matt*T  of  policy  ;  a  circumstance  gi\ing  him  a  great 
advantage  over  mo,  which  ho  availetl  himself  of."

COLLECTOR  FREELAXD  DISSATISFIED. 

Collector  Freeland  does  not  like  Mr.  Silver- 
man's scheme  of  ascertaining  the  workings  of  Ms 
office  by  affidavit.  He  much  prefers  the  old  way  of 
having  a  government  officer  make  the  {investigation 
and  hear  the  testimony,  and  he  thinks  that  his  ac- 
ctiser  should  either  be  comjwlled  to  proceed  with  the 
examination  in  that  way  or  withdraw  the  charges. 
The  Collector  is  of  the  opinion  that  tho  aspersions 
cast  upon  his  official  conduct  by  Mr.  Silverman  and 
others  cannot  bo  successfully  refuted  by  affidavits, 
no  m.itter  how  strong  they  may  be,  and  it  is  not  un- 
llkelv  that  he  will  demand  of  the  government  that 
Mr.  brooks  or  some  other  competent  person  be  In- 
structed to  conduct  the  investigation  in  the  same 
manner  as  similar  inquiries  have  been  carried  on. 
Mr.  Brooks  had  nothing  to  say  yesterday,  and  Col- 
lector Freeland  and  his  deputies  knew  nothini^  except 
that  they  had  been  notified  that  the  investigation  wul 
not  begin  tmtil  Saturday.

THE  LONG   ISLAND   SAVINGS  BANK. 


A  REPORT  IN  A  MORNING  PAPER  CAUSES 
SOUE  UNEASINESS  AMONG  A  PEW  DEPOS- 
ITORS— STATEMENT  BY  THE  COUNSEL 
FOR  THE  BANK. 

Some  excitement  was  occasioned  In  BrooHyn 
financial  circles  yesterday  by  a  report  from  Albany 
published  in  a  morning  paper  conoemlng  the  Long 
Island  Savings  Bank  at  the  comer  of  Fulton  and 
Boerum  streets.  The  report  did  not  seem 
to  have  much  effect  on  the  depositors, 
of  whom  there  are  5,000.  A  few  persons 
appeared  to  draw  their  money,  and  a  number  of 
others  came  to  the  bank  and  made  new  deposits.  In 
order  to  prevent  any  possibility  of  a  "  run  "  and  the 
eonsequent  saciiflce  of  secuiitles,  the  bank  officers, 
at  a  meeting  held  at  9  o'clock  in  the  morning,  de- 
termined to  avail  themselves  of  their  legal  right  to 
require  60  days  notice  before  payment  of  deposits  in 
sums  higher  than  $10.  Tho  officers  of  the  bank, 
when  questioned  about  its  solvencj',  declared  that 
the  institution  was  perfectly  sound  financially.  The 
counsel  for  the  bank  made  public  the  following  state- 
ment yesterday.  Alluding  to  the  report  published 
In  a  morning  paper,  be  says : 

"The  report  published  was  one  made  to  the  Super- 
intendent in  May.  1K73,  and  shows  a  deficiency  of 
assets  of  about  $4,000,  and  of  Income  of  over 
$9,000.  These  results  were  reached  by  the  Exam- 
iner as  follows :  First,  by  throwing  out  certain  assets 
held  by  the  bank  amounting  to  about  $6,100; 
secoad,  by  reducing  the  value  of  the  banking  build- 
ing $23,000;  and  third,  by  estimating  the  interest 
to  depositors  for  the  year  ending  Dec.  31, 
1876,  at  $62,000.  The  fact  ia  that  as  soon  as  the 
attention  of  the  bank  officials  was  cal  ed  to  this 
report  a  re-exambiatlon  was  made  at  their  request^ 
and  the  Examiner'a  report  corrected  in  the  following 
particulars:  First,  aatisfactorj-  assets  were  substi- 
tuted for  those  which  had  been  rejected  by  the  Ex- 
aminer. This  of  itself  left  a  surplus  of  assets,  even 
by  allowing  the  banking  building  to  stand  at  his  own 
valuation.  Secondly,  the  amount  of  interest 
credited  to  depositors  in  his  examination  was  re- 
duced from  $62,000  to  $55,344  25,  the  amount 
actoally  paid;  and  thir<l,  the  item  of  salaries  esti- 
mated in  his  examination  at  $9,000  was 
reduced  to  $5,000.  This  left  a  surplus  of 
income  of  nealy  $2,000.  In  addition  to 
these  amendments  of  the  report  of  the  Examiner, 
the  bank  claims  the  right  to  have  the  bank- 
ing building  and  property  stand  at  $230,000. 
the  amonnt  it  hod  always  been  put  in  at 
as  an  asset,  and  this  left  nearly  $23.<X)0  to  be  added 
to  the  snrpliui.  The  Examiner'a  second  report  was 
in  acconlance  with  these  facts,  and  the  bank  officials 
were  informed  thA  the  first  report  would  be  amended 
in  these  particulars,  and  that  the  re-examination  was 
satisfactory.  It  seems,  however,  that  by  some  strange 
oversight  the  report  of  the  first  examination  was  not 
so  amended  or  modified,  and  is  now  published  with- 
out any  reference  to  the  second  examination  and  the 
facts  above  stated.  In  addltiou  it  is  proper  to  add 
that  itnce  this  published  report  was  made  two  addi- 
tional semi-annual  reports  of  the  affairs  of  tho  insti- 
tution have  been  made  to  the  Banking  Department 
under  the  statute,  both  of  which  have  been  satiBfac- 
tory.  but  neither  of  which  has  been  published 
or  referred  to  In  the  reptjrt  published.  .So  far  from 
the  bank  being  deficient  in  assets  or  income,  an  ex- 
amination will  show  a  surplus  of  both." 

Another  meeting  of  the  officers  was  held  yesterday 
afternoon,  at  whicn  the  counsel's  letter  was  iudorseif, 
and  the  conclusion  reached  that  the  fiO-day  rule  with 
regard  to  deposits  shall  remain  in  force  for  tho  pres- 
ent.

THE  RKPORTED  DEFICIENCY  MORF.  THAN 
MADE  UP  BY  A  REDUCTION  OF  SALARIES 
AND    INTEREST. 

Spfetal  Dispatch  to  tAe  Tieir-Tork  Time*. 

Albany,  .A,ug.  1 5. — Mr.  Ellis  was  absent  from 
the  Banking  Department  to-day.  being  at  Saratoga, 
where  bis  trial  is  proceeding,  and  Mr.  I^amb.  the  deit- 
uty.  had  just  gone  to  his  residence  at  West  Troy  when 
your  correspondent  called.  In  regard  to  the  statement 
published  in  a  Now- York  paper  this  morning  relative 
to  the  Long  Inland  .Savings  Bank.  Mr.  Werner,  the 
department  ch-rk,  who  is  familiar  with  savinpi 
banks' reports  and  examlnBtions,  said  :  "Mr.  Reid 
leame<l  at  the  time  nf  making  the  examination 
wpoken  of  that  the  bank  was  paying  largtir  Kalaries 
than  its  hui^nesi  warranted.  He  and  Mr. 
Kllis  soon  afterwanl  visited  the  bank  and  c«unpellfd 
the  <ifflr<ini  to  cut  do'Ani  the  snlari'-s.  The  reduction 
in  this  item  alone  amounted  to  $4,r>f>0.  Mr.  Iteids 
examination,  furthermore,  was  based  on  the  the<)ry 
that  the  bank  was  to  nay  ti  i>er  cent,  interest  up<m  its 
deposits.  Afterward  they  paid  only  5  per  cent..  whicJi 
made  a  furtlier  difference  of  aliout  .$.i.0O0  in  favor 
of  the  Viank.  These  two  ef-onomies  in  the  manage- 
ment since  tht^  date  of  the  examination  more  than 
made  up  the  deficiency  In  reference  to  an  item  of  real 
estate  In  the  report."  Mr.  Werner  said. 
further:  "This  bank  is  probably  unfor- 
tunate in  having  on  Its  hands  a  valuable 
banking  house,  which,  owing  to  the  general  depres- 
sion of  real  estate,  will  not  pay  reasoiiable  interest  on 
its  cost.  As  to  the  difference  between  the  cosh  on 
hand  and  ill  bank  on  Jan.  1.  187H.  and  on  May  1, 
IH76,  referred  to,  then*    is   nothing  unusual,  it   fre- 

auently  happening  that  a  hank's  cash  account  will 
uctuate  thousands  of    dollars   In   a  few  days,  owing 
to  the  purchase  or  sale  of  securities." 

THE  SILK  .S.MCirGLlNa  CASES, 


STATEMENT  OP  GEN.  WOODFORD — TTOW  AN 
INVESTIGATION  CAME  TO  BE  DEMANDED 
— THE   DENMARK   TO    BE  LIBELED. 

United  States  Di.'»trlct  Attorney   Woodford, 

on  being  asked  yesterday  In  reference  to  a  report 
that  an  Investigation  had  been  ordered  by  tho  Attor- 
ney-General to  a.scortatn  why  bail  for  small  amounts 
had  been  accepted  by  .\s8istant  District  Attorney 
Foster  in  the  silk  smuggling  cases,  replied  that  lie 
bad  been  directed  by  tJio  Attorney-General  to 
investigate  and  report  on  some  matters  con- 
nected witli  the  silk  smugicUng  cases  which  bad 
occurred  during  his  own  absence  on  leave,  when  h** 
was  taking  his  Summer  vacation  in'  MississlpnL  He 
added:  "As  this  duty  Is  somewhat  ju<iiciaj  in  Its 
nature,  you  must  excuse  me  if  I  prefer  to  say  noth- 
ing in  regard  to  it.  My  report,  when  made,  will  bo 
the  property  of  the  department  at  Washington. 
Meanwhile  I  ought  to  say  in  reference  to  Geu.  Foster. 
■whose  name  is  mentLon*»d  in  the  report,  that  he  is  a 
lawver  of  recognized  ahllity  and  fine  st>cial  position. 
He  Has  enjoyed  my  fullest  confidence,  and  I  believe 
him  to  be  an  honest,  npriaht  gentleman." 

During  Gen.  Woodford  s  absence  Gen.  Foster,  who 
is  the  Assistant  District  Attorney,  haring  charge  of 
tho  criminal  business  of  the  office,  had  consented  to 
accept  amounts  of  ball  ranging  from  $1,000  to 
$2. 5O0  in  the  silk  smuggling  cases,  Riving  as  a  rea- 
son that,  with  the  evidence  he  then  had,  it  was  qnlte 
sufficient.  He  is  now  swav  on  his  vacation,  but  it  is 
expected  that  he  will  soon  return  in  order  to  defend 
himself.  It  appears  that  tho  order  for  an  investiga- 
tion resulted  rrom  strong  representations  liaving 
been  sent  to  Washington  by  a  member  of  tho  firm  of 
A.  T-  Stewart  &  Co.  to  the  effect  that  smuegling  was 
destroying  the  silk  trade  of  this  City,  and  that  it  was 
exceed'ingly  unfortunate,  when  a  number  of  the 
smugglers  bad  been  caught,  that  they  .should  have 
been  released  on  low  ball  through  Assistant  District 
Attorney  Foster  falling  to  demand  larger  amounts. 

A  thorough  invostlgntion  of  the  facts  connected 
with  the  liability  of  the  steamer  Denmark  for  tho 
silks  and  laces  alleged  to  have  been  smuggled  in  her 
has  been  made  by  Gen.  Woodford,  and  has  resulted 
in  his  determination  to  have  her  kept  in  custody  and 
libeled. 

Tho  Treasury  detectives  have  traced  John  Scott, 
one  of  the  gang  of  silk  and  lace  smugglers,  to  Canada, 
and  Special  Aeent  Brackett  has  gone  there  after  him. 
It  is  thought  that  ho  may  be  Induced  to  tell  how  the 
frauds  originated,  the  full  extent  to  which  they  were 
carried  on,  and  what  persons  besides  himself  and  the 
steam-ship  and  express  officers  that  have  been  ar- 
rested were  implicated  in  them.  Scott  is  described 
as  a  commercial  tpeculator.  and  as  one  of  the  princi- 

Bals  in  the  smugglin^g  operations.  He  lived  In 
pring-street,  near  \  arick-street,  and  when  the 
officers  went  there  after  his  escape  they  found 
several  thousand  dollars  worth  of  smuggltJd  laces, 
and  two  trunks  filled  with  correspondence  and  papers 
relating  to  the  smuggling  of  goods.  It  is  understood 
that  the  first  clue  to  the  frauds  was  obtained  from  a 
conductor  on  an  Eighth-avenuo  car,  who  overheard 
two  of  his  passengers,  who  were  steam-ship  men, 
conversing  about  their  operations- 

DID  J  A  COB  EISLE  MURDER  JOHN  GUNSER. 

Jacob  Eisle,  now  in  confinement  in  the  Queens 
County  Jail,  awaiting  examination  on  the  charge  of 
murdering  John  Gunser,  at  East  Williamsburg,  on 
May  13,  has  lost  strength  and  fiesh  since  his  impris- 
onment begati,  and  his  mind  is  troubled  to  that  degree 
that  he  sleeps  but  little  either  by  day  or  night.  On 
Tuesday.  George  Michels,  tho  barber,  who  was  jointly 
arrested  with  him  but  discharged  for  lack  of  evi- 
dence, visited  the  jail  and  was  permitted  to  see  Eisle. 
They  shook  hands  and  Eisle  began  to  cry.  Michels 
then  said  to  blm,  "  Eisle,  you  have  made  a  good 
deal  of  trouble  for  me  for  the  purpose  of 
screening  yourself.  You  know  who  killed  Gtmser. 
When  I  am  sworn  again  I  will  tell  alL  Don't  you 
remember  that  when  I  came  to  your  house  tho  morn- 
ing after  the  murder  that  you  met  me,  and  I  said, 
'  Eisle.  Gunser  is  killed  t'  Don't  you  remember 
that  you  raised  your  arm  before  your  face  and  said, 
'God?'  Don't  you  remember;"  continued  Michels, 
"  telling  me  that  you  stole  a  knife  from  the  butcher's 
wagon  to  kali  Gunser  and  Schmidt  7  And  did 
you  not  tell  me  that  you  had  forbidden 
those  in  your  house  to  talk  about  the  murder! 
Did  you  not  always  sneak  out  of  my  house  whenever 
the  murder  wss  mentioned  t"  At  this  point  in  the 
conversation  Eisle  became  agitated  and  held  fast  to 
the  cell  door  to  prevent  himself  from  falling  to  the 
floor.  Michels  continued,  "Eisle,  vou  are  a  villian, 
and  Gunser's  blood  is  upon  your  head.  Yon  have 
sworn  to  llos,  the  same  as  Andreas  Thomas.  You  all 
swore  you  slept  in  the  same  room.  You  did  not.  Yon 
know  it  is  a  He.  I'll  tell  everything,  and  you 
will  swing."  As  Michels  said  this  Eisle  fell  in  a 
swoon  upon  his  cell  floor. 

Since  the  last  examination  District  Attorney  Down- 
ing has  obtained  some  important  evidence  against 
Sule,  which,  it  is  believed,  will  fix  the  guilt  upon 
him.  if  he  does  not  confess  the  crime.  Eisle  seems  to 
have  the  gallows  eontinnally  before  hunK*nd  Mkft

possible to  procure  bail,  and  were  yesterday  sent  to 
jail  to  await  trial.  '  Tuesday  night,  during  the  course 
o€  their  preliminary  examin:*"..ion.  they  declared  that 
in  opening  their  game  they  had  no  design  "of  \-iolat- 
ingthelaw.  Thev  had  procured  Police  protection. 
Meeting  Chief  of  Police  Nithan.  he  had  encouraged 
them  to  locate  in  Jersey  City.  "  No  harm  will  come 
to  you  '■  was  his  Rsstirance.  '  ■  T  will  protect  you  from 
arrest  ;  I  am  IxjBs  over  there  in  Jersey  City-"'  The 
resuJt  was  that  they  mo\'ed  to  Jer**y  City.  Chi»--f 
Nathan  denies  most  indignantly  that  there  is  any 
truth  in  the  charj;e  of  the  gamblers  :  but  when  they 
were  taken  into  his  presence,  they  insisted  that  their 
statement  was  true.  The  matier  will  probably  be 
brought  to  the  notice  of  tho  Police  Commissioners.

OP   1876. 

London,  Aug.  17.— The  Standard's  Pesth 
dispatch  says  the  Prince  of  Montenegro  has 
l)een  obliged  to  raise  the  siege  of 
Kicsics,  to  march  against  the  Turk- 
ish troops  who  are  endeavoring  to  enter 
Montenegro.  [Note.— Though  Pesth  news  is 
generally  untrustworthy  and  very  pro  Turkish, 
other  telegrams  show  that  there  has  anquestion- 
ably  been  flghting  on  the  southern  -and  south- 
eastern frontiers  of  Montenegro.] 

The  Berlin  correspondent  of  the  ^Vew-a  states 
that  the  Russians  officially  acknowledge  the  loss 
of  14.459  men  killed  and  wounded  up  to  Aug.  9. 
The  same  paper's  special  from  Athens  contains 
the  following :  **  The  Turkish  massacres 
awaken  horror  and  indignation  here  difficult  to 
describe.  It  is  equally  difficult  to  estimate  the 
consequences.*' 

LojffDON,  Aug.  16. — A  spefiial  of  the  Efening 
Standard  has  a  dispatch  froB&  Poredin  saying  : 
"  &en.  Gourkho  has  gone  to  St.  Petersburg,  to 

resume  command  of  the  Guards  who  are  coming 
here.  The  t^iege  of  Rustchukis  virtually  raised. 

A  di.spatch  from  Constantinople  says:  "An 
imperial  decree  calls  to  arms  all  hitherto  exon- 
erateil.  Those  who  have  already  served,  but 
not  yet  attained  their  40th  year,  will  be 
divided  into  national  guards  who  may  ul- 
timately be  sent  to  the  seat  of  war,  and  nar 
tional  guards  for  protection  and  internal  se- 
curity.' 

An  Erzeroum  dispatch  says  the  reports  that 
the  Russian.'^  ar*»  advancing  fyom  Ardahan  on 
Olti  are  unfounded.  There  are  only  six  bat- 
talions, two  batteries,  and  one  regiment  of  cav- 
alry at  Ardahan.  Four  battalions  detached 
from  that  direction  are  now  encamped  at  Zaira- 

A  dispatch  from  Alexandria  swys:  "The 
Greek  volunteer  movement  is  increasing.  A 
further  detachment  of  1 20  started  yesterdav 
for  Greece.  The  authorities  have  detained  t)6 
volunteers  intending  to  leave,  on  the  ground  of 
their  being  subjects  of  the  Porte." 

A  dispatch  from  Belgrade  says :  ''  The 
Finance  Taw  orders  the  Servian  loan  of  1S76 
to  be  fullv  paid  up.  The  full  amount  is  I'J.- 
OIMJ, 000' francs.  Onlv  2.7a2,2l5  francs  have 
been  paid.  The  dates  ^7th  of  October  and  the 
1st  of  January  have  been  fixed  for  compulsorily 
calling  in  the  balance.  The  frontier  districts, 
which  have  suffered  on  account  of  the  war,  are 
•exempted."

SisTOVA,  Sunday,  July  29,  1877. 

I  am  the  recipient  of  an  especial  and, 
as  I  am  assured,  an  inestimable  favor,  although, 
in  my  own  miBdl  am  not  quite  sure  how  the  es- 
timation is  to  be  based.  I  am  to  be  allowed  to  go 
go  on  as  far  as  the  lantra  (Yantree)  and  chroni- 
cle the  small  beer  exploits  of  the  troops  there  or 
thereabouts.  Of  course,  I  shall  go  from  curios- 
ity and  because  some  people  put  themselves  to  a 
great  d«»l  of  trouble  to  get  me  the  pertoission, 
but  in  my  heart  I  feel  that  the  game  will  not  be 
worth  the  candle.  I  have  before  me  some  little 
personal  experience  of  the  feeling  and  behavior, 
even  when  veiled  with  a  slight  varnish  of  cour- 
tesy, of  soldiers  for  scribblers,  and  the  narra- 
tives of  some  of  my  colleagues  who  are  return- 
ing from  the  front  vexed  out  and  discouraged  by 
their  inability  to  obtain,  and  still  more  to  com- 
municate, war  news  of  any  sort.  It  is  all  very 
well  to  have  Col.  Hassankompfs  "  vi.sa  on  the 
back  of  your  photograph  giving  you  a  sort  of 
general  authority  to  be  at  hL*ad-quarters  ;  for,  if 
vou  confine  yourself  to  that,  you  would  do  a 
good  deal  better,  as  far  as  regards  matters  of  in- 
terest, by  slaying  at  home.  It  is  when  you  want 
to  go  ahead  aud  s^e  sometifing  for  yourself  that 
the  trouble  begin-,  and  yon  find  that  there  are  a 
thousand  formalities  to  be  encountered,  a  thou- 
sand petty,  but  annoyiuLj,  obstacles  to  be  over- 
come before  you  can  have  leave  to  ride  outside 
of  the  limits  of  tho  camp.  Long  hours,  some- 
times whole  days,  may  paur^s  before  you 
can  interview  the  Chief  of  Staff, 
who  alone  can  issue  the  desired 
authority  for  you  to  go  in  search  of  the  general 
officer  whose  column  you  would  like  to  accom- 
pany, and  who  is  supposed  to  be  at  some  particu* 
lar  point — that  is  to  say,  who  is  rumored  to  -be 
there,  for  you  need  not  hope  for  any  official  in- 
formation on  the  matter  ;  when  you  get  there 
the  betting  is  five  to  two  that  he  is  somewhere 
slse,  or,  if  you  do  find  him,  that  you  will  be 
obliged  to  await  his  good  pleasure  for  hours, 
standing  knee  deep  in  the  dust,  with  the  ther- 
mometer at  10^-^  in  the  shade.  That  is,  it 
would  be  there  if  there  was  any  shade,  but  as 
there  are  not  more  than  40  or  50  trees  in  al] 
Bulgarian  plains  north  of  the  H^mus.  i^ould 
be  more  correct  to  say  with  the  mercjrfry  some- 
where near  boiling  point.  However,  there  is 
an  end  to  all  things,  great  pertinafeity  carries 
the  day,  and  off  you  start,  proud  of  ypur  triumph 
over  less  fortunate  colleagues — most  of  whom 
having  been  there  already  don't  seem  at  all  cast 
down  by  your  success — and,  if  you  are  very  green 
and  inexperienced,  cherishing  the  fond  hope  of 
seeing  something  lively.  You  come  out  of  this 
delusion,  however,  before  very  long ;  the  col- 
umns move  about  much  too  rapidly  for  the 
screws  of  the  correspondent"  to  keep  pace  with, 
or  if  they  happen  to  be  well  mounted  and  hap- 
pen also  to  be  present  at  some  affair,  there  is 
only  a  faint  possibility  that  its  narration  will  be 
permitted  until  its  details  and  bearings 
shall  have  been  determined,  sifted,  and 
sanctioned  by  the  official  report  of  the 
commanding  officer,  and  resifted,  revised, 
aud  corrected  at  the  head-quarters 
of  the  Commander  in  Chief  of  the  Army.  The 
most  that  any  one  can  hope  to  accomplish  is  to 
ride  about  and  give  local  pictures  of  the  coun- 
try, which  may  he  interesting  if  you  are  gifted 
with  good  descriptive  powers  and  a  vivid  imag- 
ination, particularly  should  you  be  so  lucky  as 
to  drop  upon  some  incident  of  not  suilicient  im- 
portance to  awake  a  suspicion  among  your  un- 
willing hosts  that  it  can  be  distorted  to  their 
disadvautage.  Such  is  the  ordinary  lot  of  the 
Epecial  correspondent,  but,  on  this  occasion, 
the  opening  difficulties  have  not  been  mine.  1 
mav  fare  no  better  than  other  people  as  I  go  on, 
but  the  peculiar  circumstances  under  which  I 
am  here  have  smoothed  away  the  first  Obstacles, 
and  made  it,  so  far,  phiin  sailing,  although  my 
cruise  will  only  be  a  short  one.  Still,  there 
were  formalities,  and  as  I  must  wait  until  the 
cavalry  moves,  as  it  will  not  do  before  evening, 
I  w*ll  tell  about  the  town  and  what  1  have  seen 
there,  as  my  visit  here  a  little  more  than  a  fort- 
night ago  was  *-oo  hurried  to  be  eilher  searching 
or  satis/actory. 

Sistova  is  my  point  de  dSpartj  and  a  pretty  fair 
sample  of  those  towns  of  the  "  gorgeous  East " 
*bout  which  poets  and  novel-writfirs  have  raved 
BO  eloquently.  Seen  from  the  other  aide  noth- 
^zicLcazL  1»  im^fu^jn,oxc  pictoreoQu^  mxh.  its 


gardens  and  orchards,  and  white-walled  houses 
and  mosques  and  minarets  built  in  amphithea- 
tre on  the  slope  of  a  hill  whose  base  is  washed 
by  the  waters  of  the  Danube — the  only 
thing,  by  the  way,  which  I  should 
suppose  ever  is  washed  there.  There 
is  a  bridge  thrown  across  from  the 
Wallachian  towfc  of  Simnitza,  to  the  island  of 
TVardin,  which  lies  in  midstream,  and  the  pon- 
toniers  are  hard  at  work  at  another,  as  the 
original  construction  lies  nearly  half  a  mile 
above,  and  was  only  a  temporary  affair  put  up 
immediately  after  the  capture  of  the  Turkish 
lines.  Strange  to  say,  the  Russians  have  al- 
lowed a  month  to  go  by  without  improving 
their  only  means  of  communication  from  their 
base  of  supplies  to  their  columns  of  operation. 
But  the  bridge  is  not  only  a  prosaic  but  a  very 
disagreeable  way  of  getting  across,  blocked,  as  it 
always  is.  with  ox-carts  and  artillery  and  am- 
bulance trains  and  .straggling  soldiers,  so  I  took 
a  national  **  dug-out,"  and  had  myself  paddled 
around  the  little  island  and  across  to  the  land- 
ing place.  ^' 

A  couple  of  dismantled  batteries  along  the 
water's  edge  and  an  earth-work  on  the  hillside 
show  the  positions  held  by  the  Turks  on  the 
night  of  the  passage  ;  and  just  above  the  town 
the  ruins  of  a  Roman  wall  stand  out  with  their 
sharp  gray  profile  against  the  clear  sky.  a.s  if  to 
remind  future  generations  of  the  power  of  that 
mighty  nation  which  everywhere  throughout 
the  East  has  left  imperishable  records  of  its 
glory  and  dominion.  There  was  a  cantonment 
here  in  the  time  of  the  Caesars,  and  the  Col  de 
Trajan,  where  the  Russians  have  just  crossed 
the  Balkans,  is  the  remains  of  the  old  Roman 
way  by  which  the  legionaries  tised  to  march 
from  Parmonia  to  Byzantium.  As  I  have 
said.  the  first  effect  produced,  from  a 
distance,  is  charming,  but  as  you  approach, 
and  when  you  land,  the  dis-illusion  is  complete 
and  almost  indescribable.  The  river  has  fallen 
back  into  its  ordinarj'  channel,  aud  left  a  wide 
stretch  of  sand  and  gravel  covered  with 
debritus  of  all  sorts,  with  here  and  there  huge 
blocks  of  baked  mud  aod  gullies  deepened  by 
the  freshets  and  the  Spring  and  Autumnal 
rains,  until  tne  passage  from  the  lower  to  the 
upper  quarters  has  become  at  some  seasons 
entirely  impracticable.  Even  now  no  one  but  a 
madman  would  venture  there  after  nightfall, 
and  it  was  only  afti-r  much  scrambling  and 
climbing  and  repeated  falls  that  I  succeetled  in 
reaching  the  upper  suburbs  where  the  wealthy 
Turkish  element  had  its  habitations.  There  is 
a  little  improvement  -here,  but  in  the  very 
centre  of  the  town  th'ere  is  a  positive  gulf,  a 
yawning  abyss  hollowed  out  by  the  torrential 
streams  which  poiu*  down  from  the  hills  above 
in  May  and  November.  There  are  houses  of 
the  poorer  sort  built  all  around  the  edge  of  this 
chasm,  seeming  t&  keep  their  places  by  some 
miracle  of  equilibrium,  for  the  ground  on 
which  they  stand  crumbles  away  almost  visibly. 
On  all  sides,  in  everj'  street  and  comer,  lie  heaps 
of  filth  and  offal  of  every  kind,  and  even  if  the 
lean,  snarling  dogs  are  good  scavengers  the 
smells  are  painfully  .-suggestive  of  the  fact  that  if 
there  be  not  a  prompt  and  free  use  made  of  chlo- 
ride of  lime,  to  the  deaths  by  shot  and  shell  will 
soon  be  added  the  ravages  of  pestilence.  But 
the  natives  never  minded  dirt  or  foul  odors,  but 
rather  thrived  upon  them,  just  as  swine  do,  and 
the  Turkish  administratloa  had  many  other 
fi-sh  to  fry  and  did  not  care  to  spen d 
its  money  in  improving  the  sanitary 
conrtition  of  its  rayahs,  nor,  to  do  the  Turks 
justicr?,  have  their  successors — although  they 
have  been  here  now  for  more  than  a  month,  and 
have  trwo  or  three  hospitals  close  by,  and  have 
organized  a  regular  municipal  t»oard — done  much 
to  prove  that  they  are  civilized.  I  have  been 
all  through  the  original  Turkish  quarter,  where 
tlie  Pasha's  Konak  aud  the  palace  of  a  wealthy 
Osmanli,  with  its  high  walls  and  grated  win- 
dows, have  been  occupied  by  the  fiu.ssiun  au- 
thorities. Every  other  house  lies  open  to  in- 
spection, for  the  Bulgarians  finished  the  work 
of  destruction  commenced  by  the  31usco\-ite 
soldier>'.  It  was  natural  enough,  too;  the  latter 
came  in  with  their  blood  up  from  the  fight,  and 
the  ravahs.  as  liberated  slaves,  sought  to  vent 
their  furv  upon  their  former  masters.  The 
negroes  did  it  at  San  Domin;;o.  and  there  is  no 
negro  fresh  from  the  shores  of  the  Congo 
whom  I  would  insult  l»y  comparing  him  socially 
or  iiitellfrctually  with  a  home-bred  Bulgarian. 
There  were  s*>me  horrid  scenes,  they  tell  me,  in 
Sistova  on  the  morrow  of  the  assault,  and  for 
days  after,  and  Turks  were  hunted  out  of  their 
hiding  places  and  shot  down  like  dogs,  and  rape 
and  murder  and  pillage  and  everj-  foul  deed 
which  lu.st  and  brutality  could  imagine  was  per- 
petrated, under  the  eves  of  the  Russian  ofRcers, 
until  tht-re  was  nothing  left  where^vith  to  re- 
proach the  Osmanli  for  la-st  Summer's  atrocities, 
except,  it  may  be,  the  number  of  the  victims. 
But  this  was  not  the  fault  of  the  Bul- 
garians, and  they  w^ill  do  better  when 
the  field  for  the  exercLee  of  their  reprisals 
shall  have  l>econxe  more  extende<l.  And  when 
human  victims  were  wanting  to  their  ven- 
geance they  wreaked  it  upon  inanimate  things; 
every  house,  from  cellar  to  roof,  has  been  gut- 
ted; chimney  places  and.  walls  have  been  de- 
molished, doors  torn  up  in  search  of  concealed 
trea.sure.  Handfuls  of  wool,  bundles  of  rags  of 
every  sort  and  color,  the  accumuUitions  of  gen- 
erations ofXiima'*li-forthe  stuffing  of  their  tra- 
,vans,  are  scattw=fed.,gbout  the  rooms 
like  a  thick  carpet,  or  lie  in  hcapsTn-thcJtneels^ 
and  gardens,  where  even  the  fruit  trees  have 
been  chopped  and  hacked  simply  because  they 
were  once  dear  to  the  3Ioslem.  I  don't  think 
that  this  wanton  destruction  of  property  caused 
me  any  very  painful  feelings  ;  it  brought  its 
own  punishnient'with  it.  for  the.se  unreasoning 
brutes  might  have  occupied  the  comfortable 
dwellings  of  their^old  tyrants  with  no  one  to 
say  them  nay  ;  and  the  soldier  even  ofgthe  most 
civilized  peoples  is  inclined  to  **  loot"  when  the 
fighting  IS  over.  But  it  was  sickening  to  gaze 
upon  the  shattered  aud  upturned  tombstones 
around  the  desecrated  mosques,  for  there  is 
something  sacred  in  the  repose  of  the  grave, 
and  respect  for  the  dead  is  written  in  every  con- 
science. Such  acts  of  vandalism  are  a  disgrace 
to  any  nation,  aud  although  the  Turks  would, 
doubtless,  have  been  guilty  of  equally  heinous 
abominations,  in  what  are  Christians  their  su- 
periors in  civilization  or  feelings  if  they,  too, 
are  unchecked  in  deeds  whose  parallel  can  only 
be  found  in  the  annals  of  that  loathsome  epoch 
of  history,  the  Reign  of  Terror  i 

The  Emperor's  proclamation  assures  equality 
of  rights  and  protection,  alike  to  Moslem  and 
Christian,  but  the  brutal  excesses  of  his  wild 
soldiery  and  of  these  once  cringing,  cowardly 
Bulgarian  hounds  will  not  give  much  confi- 
dence to  the  population  of  other  cree<is,  and  will 
only  tend  to  embitter  the  strife  and  make  the 
resistance  more  desperate.  Until  now  the  ele- 
ment of  reUgious  fanaticism  has  been,  offi- 
cially at  least,  kept  out  of  sight,  but  if  there  be 
no  foreign  intervention  soonandthe  "  banner  of 
the  Prophet"  be  displayed,  the  time  is  coming 
fast  when  the  world  will  hear  of  atrocities  on 
both  sides  such  as  have  not  been  witnessed  since 
the  Dark  Age.s.  One  thing,  at  least,  is  certain  ; 
henceforth  and  for  all  time  a  community  of  in- 
terest and  existence  between  the  Moslem  and 
the  (jiaour  is  impossible ;  no  diplomatic  clever- 
ness can  bridge  over  the  daily  widening  chasm 
which  separates  the  two  races;  no  pacific  settie- 
nient  is  possible;  massacre  and  reprisal,  and 
then  more  massacre,  must  go  on  until  the  last 
Turk  shall  have  been  driven  from  the  Penin- 
sula of  the  Balkans.  It  is  very  hard  on  the 
Turk,  who  is  an  infinitely  more  sympathetic 
creature  than  the  nasty  rayah,  but  it  must  be 
so  in  the  common  order  of  things,  for  it  is  not 
just  that  3,000,000  should  impose  its  laws  upon 
10,000,000,  particularly  when  those  laws, 
based  upon  the  immutability  of  the  pre- 
cepts of  the  Koran,  are  in  themselves  an 
obstacle  to  all  progress  and  civilization. 
The  Turks  wi)7  die  hard,  for  they  are  a  bravo 
race ;  but  when  it  Is  ail  over  and  they  shall  have 
been  expelled  from  the  land  where  they  have 
reigned  for  more  than  400  years,  they  will  be 
quite  philosophical  over  their  exodus,  and  will 
comfort  themselves  with  the  reflection  that  it 
was  their  kismet^  for  has  not  Allah  said  by  the 
month   of  his   inspired   prophet  that  "  to  every 


human  power  can  hftsten  or  delay  the  hotir  ap- 
pointed for  its  downfall." 

There  was  a  heavy  qontingent  of  Icounded 
sent  o-^er  here  this  morning  and  a  small  batch 
of  prisoners,  the  latter  chiefly  from  the  "affair" 
at  Plevna.  I  have  had  two  versions  of  this  busi- 
ness, neither  differing  except  on  the  question  of 
numbers  from  the  story  which  I  have  already 
told.  Not  even  th»2  Russians  affecA  to  deny  that 
they  were  badly  beaten,  but  they  try  to  lessen 
their  mortiflcation  by  giving  Osman  Pasha 
40.000  men;  instead  of  the  8,000  or  10,0O0 
which  he  really  comikanded.  They  pretend 
that  he  brought  up  reinforcements  en  masse 
from  Sofia,  but  as  we  know  that  even  the  garri- 
son of  Nisch,  on  the  Servian  frontier,  was  f»nt 
on  to  Sofia  t%)  strengthen  the  defenses  south  of 
the  Balkans,  this  3tatem«nt  cannot  be  admitted. 
According  to  a  disabled  Turkish  officer  who  was 
captured  at  Plevna,  there  were  fewer  Osmanli 
engaged  than  even  I  had  estimated,  but  as 
he  is  not  more  worthy  of  credence 
than  the  Muscovite,  I  still  maintain 
my  original  figures.  The  true  story  of 
the  battle  is  that  Osman  Pasha  got  together  as 
many  men  as  he  could  spare  from  the  defense 
of  the  strategic  points  of  the  Vilayet,  and 
marched  to  the  relief  of  Nikopolis.  Learning 
on  the  way  of  the  fall  of  that  place,  he  turned 
to  the  right,  and  took  up  bis  position  in  rear  of 
the  town,  whose  garrison  was  already  skirmish- 
ing with  the  enemy's  advanced  guard.  The 
Russians  attacked  and  were  repulsed,  where- 
upon Osman  Pasha  followed  up  his  advantage 
and  drove  them  out  of  their  own  lines  in  dis- 
order, their  great  superiority  in  cavalry  and 
horse  artillery  alone  preserving  the  column 
from  a  total  rout.  Three-fourthsof  the  wound- 
ed were  hit  about  the  arms  and  head,  the  others 
principally  in  the  legs  aud  back,  which  of  itself 
shows  the  nature  of  the  fighting.  According  to 
the  Turkish  officers  account,  the  very  badly 
wounded  and  the  dead  were  abandoneu  where 
they  fell ;  but  this  must  be  taken  with  much 
allowance.  I  saw  a  couple  of  the  new  Bulgarian 
Legion  who  had  come  to  grief  in  this  affair,  and 
much  ado  was  made  over  them  before  their  fel- 
low-countrymen of  the  town,  in  order  to  excite 
their  martial  ardor  and  promote  volunteering  ; 
but.  although  very  willing  to  acknowledge  their 
claims  to  be  looked  upon  a-*  heroes,  the  crown  of 
martyrdom  on  the  battle-field  seemed  to  have 
few  charms,  and  certainly  provoked  no  emula- 
tive display  of  eagerness  for  martial  glory.  But 
they  were  very  bold  toward  the  unarmed' prison- 
ers, and  swaggered  around  them,  and  called 
them  "  pigs,"  and  "  pessavinks,"  and  other  pet 
names  which  they  used  to  hear  applied  to 
to  themselves  in  the  days  of  Islam's  supremacy. 
The  Russian  officers,  some  of  them  al  least, 
looked  heartily  disgusted,  and  although  they 
did  not  interfere,  walked  away,  for  in  their 
hearts  they  have  a  thorough  contempt  for  their 
auxiliary  legions,  which  some  of  them  in  pri- 
vate do  not  hesitate  to  qualify  as  a  piece  of  po- 
litical claptrap.  Nor  are  they  much  more  in- 
didgent  to  their  beloved  allies'  the  Roimianians, 
whose  participation  in  the  taking  of  Nikopolis 
they  utterly  di.Hclaim.  Apropos  of  this,  let  me 
give  a  description  of  a  Roumanian  **  brave  "  in 
his  war-paint :  He  is  a  tvpe  of  a  class  which, 
like  the  Dodo  bird,  is  fast  becoming  extinct, 
and  is  therefore  a  curiosity  worthy  of  at  least  a 
passing  word.  He  is  tall,  as  a  rule,  and  hand- 
some, of  the  beauty  known  as  a  barber's  block. 
His  hair,  unusually  long,  carefully  greased  and 
still  more  carefully  parted,  is  'in  war  time» 
cropped  as  closely  as  a  prize-fighter's.  His 
whisKers,  with  which  no  human  persuasion 
would  induce  him  to  part,  are  of  the  kind  known 
in  England  some  years  ago  as  *•  Piccadilly 
falls,"  reaching  to  his  shoulders.  His  rather  thin 
legs  wear  the  tightest  of  bretvhes,  and  the  nat- 
tiest of  boots  armed  T\"ith  spurs  almost  as  long 
as  those  of  a  Mexican  ranchero,  with  loose 
rowels  calculated  to  produce  a  fine  military  ef- 
fect as  they  jangle  against  his  hea\-y  sabro — 
dimensions  U  feet  by  H  inches — when  he  swag- 
gers down  the  Pons  Mogoshoi.  His  manly 
brea.st  is  enca.«4.*d  in  a  showy  tunic  of  blue 
or  scarlet,  covered  with  braid  and  brass  and 
gilt  buttons.  On  his  head  is  a  blue  or  scarlet 
kepi  with  nearly  as  much  gold  embroider)'  as  ho 
wears  upon  his  sleeve.  He  has  no  epaulettes, 
but  that  is  fortunate,  for  with  them  he  would  be 
weighed  down  with  the  weight  of  his  armor.  If 
he  is  of  an  influential  famUy.  he  is  an  aide-de- 
camp to  8oraelK»dy,  and  has  a  Utt  of  aiguillettos 
to  mark  his  superiority.  He  looks  well  on  horse- 
back, but  he  is  not  n-ally  happy  there,  and  pre- 
fcrH  the  outside  of  the  Oafc  Hugues  or  the  bal- 
cony of  the  Jockey  Club,  whence  he  can  ogle  the 
women  as  they  pa-ss,  and  tell  of  his  bonnes  /or- 
tunfs,  real  or  fancied,  and  occasionally  draw  out 
his  trusty  falchion,  and  feel  Its  edge  and  show 
h<)W  sharp  it  is.  I  have  knuwu  a  number  of 
his  species,  and  have  not  found  their  intimacy 
de.sirablc.  One  in  particular  I  can  cite,  a  pro- 
fessed lady-killer,  who  is  a  "thing  of  beauty 
and  a  joy  forever,"  and  our  acquaintance  began 
by  an  jn%'itation  to  myself  and  tnreo  other  gen- 
tlemen to  sup  with  him  at  Prascati's.  and  ended 
by  OUT  paying  the  bilL  He  had  been  in  the 
"army  before,  and  had  left  after  his  divorce  from 
a  very  estimable  lady,  but  as  he  had  not  a 
shilling  in  the  world,  an<l  hi.s  friends  were  tired 
of  paying  alwavs  fur  his  dinner,  they  got  hlra 
bacK  again,  and  he  swung  about  for  a  fortnight 
the  very  biggest  sabre  which  I  have  ever  seen 
outside  of  a  pantomime,  and  was  generally  mag- 
nificent, and  people  said,  "  Alejrandre  sf  moii- 
trera  tin  A/r»)s,  and  then,  he  all  at  once  resigned, 
because,  with  the  enemy  knocking  at  the  gates, 
an  ungrateful  country  refused  to  appoint  him  to 
the  command  of  a  recruiting  station.  I  have 
not  exaggerated  the  type,  which  is  true  to 
nature,  and  although  it  may  fight,  its  capacities 
to  command  may  be  doubted.

RESUMPTION  —  G0VER:<MENT  NOTES

PRESIDENT. 

*titecial  Digpaich  to  ths  2fnt-7bri  Ttmex. 
Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aitg.  16. — The  Repub- 
lic«,n  campaigxi  in  Ohio  was  opeBeA  to-night  at 
Bellefontaine,  where  Judge  West  addressed  a 
vast  concourse  of  his  frieads  and  neighbors  on 
the  questions  of  the  currency  and  labor  reform. 
He  spoke  for  an  hour  and  a  half,  and  was  warm- 
ly applauded.  The  first  part  of  his  speech  was 
devoted  to  the  discussion  of  the  recent 
labor  agitation,  a  contest  which  he  believed  was 
fraught  with  greater  peril  than  the  struggle  be- 
tween opposing  sections  of  the  country.  He 
said  the  danger  must  be  met  at  the  threshold 
and  a  remedy  found.  He  believed  that 
it  was  practicable  to  devise  some 
method  of  interraanagement  between  capi- 
tal and  labor  by  which  the  interests 
of  both  shall  be  harmonized  and  antagonisms 
repressed.  The  whole  embarrassment  arises  out 
of  the  question  of  compensation.  Capital  pre- 
scribes a  fixed  rate,  changing  it  at  pleasure  ; 
labor  feels  that  it  is  insufiicient.  A  sense 
of  injury  and  injustice  is  begotten;  whether 
it-  be  real  or  imaginary  the  result  is 
the  same.  Dissatisfaction  ripens  into  open  dis- 
content, until  the  slumbering  volcano  bursts 
forth.  Can  this  be  averted  without  arms  and 
the  shedding  of  blood  ?  I  am  persuaded  that 
it  can.  How?  By  adopting  and  apply- 
ing in  our  great  industrial  enterprises 
a  graduated  scale  of.  compensation, 
conditioned  on  the  net  earnings.  Will 
this  vest  labor  with  any  proprietary  interest  or 
property  right  in  the  capital  employed  ?  Cer- 
tainly it  cannot  any  more  than  a  fixed  compen- 
sation ran  vest  it  with  such  right.  Shall 
it  be  brought  about  by  compulsory  legis- 
lation ?  No  !  for  either  capita]  or  la- 
bor to  invoke  this  would  b*^  to  place  its 
head  in  the  lion's  jaws,  even  if  the  Government 
had  authority  to  assume  jurisdiction  of  the  sub- 
ject But  it  has  no  such  authority.  Freedom 
to  contract  is  the  highest  liberty  of  The  citizen. 
Subordinate  this  liberty  to  legislative  control, 
and  he  at  once  becomes  the  slave  of  unscnxpu- 
lous  power  and  political  corruption. 

How  then  may  it  be  accomplished  ?  Let  the 
capitalist  prescribe  a  reasonable  minimum  rate 
of  compensation  to  be  paid  at  all  events,  and  in 
addition  thereto  assume  to  distribute  among 
his  laborers,  at  the  end  of  stated 
periods,  an  agreed  or  specified  per- 
centage of  his  net  earnings  for  the 
same  time.  If  his  business  prosper,  the  laborer, 
from  whose  toil  it  sprung,  would  share  his  pros- 
perity. If  not,  he  could  acrjuiesce  with  con- 
tentment in  receiving  all  that  it  was 
in  the  power  of  a  considerate  employer 
to  give.  Methods  of  gniduated  compensation 
similar  to  this  have  been  adopted  in  Europe,  in 
this  country,  and  in  our  own  State.  My  in- 
formation is  that  in  no  single  instance  have  lock- 
outs or  strikes  occurred  in  any  industrial  estab- 
lishment where  it  has  been  adoptevl.  My  judg- 
ment, therefore,  is  that  their  application  i  n 
the  management  of  our  railway  and  other  great 
industrial  investments  would  be  attended  with 
like  satisfactory  result  The  mighty  intere.ns 
involved  cannot  afford  to  be  indifferent;  lalx>r 
c4innot  afford  it;  capital  cann<<t  afford  it;  social 
order  and  public  liberty  cannot  afford  it.  I 
know  the  hazard  of  venturing  upon  the  untried. 
Conservatism  sits  still  or  moves  in  old  ruts,  and 
is  content.  Progress  rises  to  the  height  of 
new  occasion.s.  Republicanism  is  progress, 
ever  struggling  to  advance,  marking  places  of 
higher  development  and  security.  To  this  end — 
not  to  end  anger,  but  to  .secure,  not  to  cliange 
but  to  protect  not  to  blend  but  to  harmonize 
the  rights  of  Ial>or  and  the  rights  of  capital  on 
the  basis  of  impartial  justice  to  both — it  now 
grapples  with  the  great  issue  growing  out  of 
their  collisions,  and  seeks  by  pi_aceful  methods 
to  pro\-ide  again.<t  their  recurrencp. 

Judge  West  next  di.icu'^sed  the  question  of 
currency  and  resumption  at  length,  maintaining 
that  the  financial  policy  was  the  wisest  which 
should  effect  a  return  to  specie  equivalents  with 
the  least  possible  inflation  on  the  one  hand,  or 
contraction  on  the  other,  which  will 
steadily  but  surely  improve  the  qual- 
ity of  the  currency  without  serious  disturbance 
of  its  e.^sting  volume  or  violent  change  of  com- 
mercial values.  This,  said  ho.  I  understand  to 
be  the  policy  of  the  platforms  of  Cleveland  and 
Cincinnati.  Under  the  almost  exclusive  agency 
of  bu.'iiness  and  commerce  the  distance  between 
the  inflated  prices  of  the  war  period  and 
a  full  restoration  of  coin  vahies  has  been  nar- 
rowed to  a  span.  If  it  were  possible,  it  would 
be  well  to  permit  these  agencies  to  work  nm  a 
final  result,  but  it  is  not  Before  the  point  can 
be  reached  the  Government  must  make 
its  notes  interconvertible.  The  speaker 
showed  that  there  were  insuperable  objections 
to  the  further  issue  of  legal-tender  notes. 
Nothing  is  clearer  in  the  fundamental  law  than 
the  denial  to  the  Government  of  the  consti- 
tutional jiower  to  make  its  due-bills  a 
substitute  for  legal-tender  money  except 
as  a  measure  of  defense  in  the  c-mer^ncy  of 
war.  The  present  legal-tender  notes  were  held 
Constitutional  by  a  divided  court  on  this 
ground  alone.  We,  thereforot.  ought  not  to 
deceive  ourselves ;  we  ought  not  to 
deceive  the  people  into  demanding  an  impossi- 
bility. This  disposes  of  the  equally  impossible 
proposition  to  retire  the  national  banking  cur- 
rency by  taking  up  and  discharging  the  bonds 
held  as  collaterals,  with  a  further  issue  of  legal- 
tender  notes.  The  public  securities  held 
by  the  banks  are  as  inviolable  as  those 
held        by         individuals.  They         cannot 

be  dischaged  with  the  legal  ten  dor- 
notes  of  any  issue  without  violating  the  faith 
and  honor  of  the  nation  originally  and  repeat- 
edly pledged  to  their  payment  in  coin.  If,  how- 
ever, it  were  otherwise,  to  do  so  would  be 
unwise.  The  present  system  of  free  bank- 
ing, as  authorized  by  existing  laws, 
is  the  best  ever  devised  by  the 
wit  of  man.  A  return  to  specie  payment 
enables  the  banks  to  make  their  notes  intercon- 
vertible with  coin  at  the  pleasure  of  the  holder, 
and  they  will  constitute  an  agency  in- 
comparably superior  to  the  centralized  political 
power  at  Washington  for  regulating  the 
volume  of  currency  according  to  the 
wants  of  trade.  The  Judge  favored  the  re  mone- 
tization  of  silver  with  certain  restrictions  and 
regulations,  out  whatever  else  be  the  na- 
tion's loss  its  justice  and  its  honor  must 
be  untarnished.  Remonetization  is,  at  best. 
a  hazardous  experiment.  Its  effect  on  the 
future  of  business,  under  existing  conditions 
is  involved  in  uncertainty.  The  forecast 
is  not  infallible.  Two  .  standard  metal- 
lic dollars,  differing  in  value,  are 
as  un  philosophical  as  two  standard 
yards  differing  in  length,  or  two  standard 
pounds  differing  in  weight.  Business 
would  inevitably  adjust  itself  to  the 
_xhortar    measure       and  _    the       lofts:er     b&-- 


come  practically  obsolete.  This  is  observable 
now  in  the  exclusion  of  gold  coin  by  legal-ten- 
der notes.  If  interconvertible  they  will  float 
together ;  otherwise  not.  Silver  money,  re- 
stricted to  this  country,  can  hardly  exert  a  con- 
trolling influence  over  the  gold  volume 
of  two  cdntinents.  Unless,  then,  they  start 
abreast  they  are  not  likely  to  run  the  race  to- 
gether. Ft)r  these  reasons,  and  in  view 
of  the  interests  involved  and  the  re- 
s'llts  at  stnlie.  mv  convictions  are  clear 
that  o;ir  current  coin  should  conform  to  one 
uuu  ol  value,  whatever  that  unit  may  be. 
Remonetiiation  of  silver  under  judicious  restric- 
tions and  limitations,  with  the  restored  dignity 
and  povers  indicated,  can  hardly  faU 
to  become  an  efiicient  help  to  the  resumption  of 
specie  payment  co-onerating  with  gold,  now^  lit- 
tle more  than  a  speculative  commodity  of 
merchandise,  in  discharging  OLStoms  and  pub- 
lic dues.  It  will  reduce  that  coin  to  the  rank  of 
commercial  money  and  make  its  exLsting  vol- 
ume available  for  the  purposes  of  resump- 
tion, swelling  this  volume  by  keeping  the 
balance  of  trade  steadily  in  our  favor.  The  de- 
sired point  of  interconvertibility  cannot  be  in 
the  far  distance.  It  can  hardly  be  ques- 
tioned, however,  that  the  first  coinage  of  silver 
should  be  on  Government  account  alone, 
and  either  this  or  its  equivalent  in  gold  coin  em- 
ployed exclusively  in  the  redemption  of 
legul-tender  notes,  and  in  enabling  -  the 
banks  to  prepare  for  making  their  paper  inter- 
convertible at  pleasure,  the  capacity  of  the 
mint  being  limited  to  $20,000,000  or  $30.- 
000.000  a  year.  The  coinage  and  reissue 
must  necessarilv  be  gradual.  The  accumu- 
lation can  be  disbursed  from  time  to  time 
in  the  redf-mption  of  legal  tenders,  and 
thus  gradually  advance  toward  interconvertibil- 
ity without  arbitrary  contraction  or  disturbance 
of  the  existing  volume  in  circulation.  Recuper- 
ation will  keep  pace  with  the  ctiange.s,  provide 
against  shrinkages  and  repair,  possible  los.'^es  as 
they  arise,  and  fulP  resumption  be  ultimately 
reaches!  bj-  insensible  approaches  without 
financial  revolution — a  consummation  de- 
voutly to  be  wished.  Some  change  in 
existing  legislation  may  be  necessary 
to  effect  this.  The  Resumption  act  provides  no 
plan  or  means  for  its  execution.  The  opposi- 
tion who  have  controlled  the  lower  house 
of  Congress  since  its  passage  in 
1 S75  have  steadily  refused  to  unite 
in  pro\'iding  any.  The  present  Hou.<ie  will  un- 
doubtedly persist  in  such  refusal.  The  time 
fixed  for  resumption  is  but  little  over  a  year 
distant.  Surrounded  and  clogji^ed  by  these 
embarrassmenTs,  I  do  not  oercieve  bow  it  is 
possible  for  the  authorities  to  r  n-uminate  re- 
.^umption  on  the  day  fixed  without  the  m-j.st 
serious  consequences,  u  .le>s  u.e  opp^isition 
house  shall  come  to  their  aid,  which  is 
not  at  ail  prohable.  Remonetization  cannot 
furnish  the  needed  relief  within  the  neriod  lim- 
ited. The  substitution  for  the  time  clause  of 
tho  act  of  appropiate  provisions,  adapting 
it  to  the  agency  of  reraonetixation, 
or  the  suspension  or  abrogation  of  the 
clause  appears  for  these  reasrtns  indispensable. 
In  conclu.-;ion,  Judge  Wej^t  urged  the  lie-pub- 
licans of  Ohio  to  stand  by  the  President,  and 
give  a  fair  and  honest  trial  to  his  experiment  in 
dealing  with  the  Southern  question.

DISLIKE  EXPRESSED  TOWARD  THEIR  CANDI-

CONTRIBfTE    LIBERALLY. 

Spffial  Dispalrh  to  Uu  y^eic-Tork  T^m^x. 

Cleveland,  Ohio,  Aup  It;. — The  di.^con- 
tent  of  the  Democrats  of  Ohio  with  their  nomi- 
nee for  Governor  is  constantly  growing.  It 
first  appeared  wben.he  refu.sed  to  shell  out  as 
liberally  at  Put-in-Bay  as  his  sons  had  promised 
that  be  would  before  his  nomination.  This  dis- 
content has  increased  as  the  leadr-rs  have  seen 
that  he  posses.scs  almost  nothing  except  money 
to  recnnunond  him  to  the  party  support.  The 
difi&rence  in  the  statement  between  the  report 
that  wa.s  published  in  the  Cincinnati  Enquirer 
that  there  was  a  serious  misuntlerstanding 
between  Bishop  and  the  committee  on  the 
suhjoct  of  money  for  campaign  purposes, 
and  the  statement  which  Bishop  has 
since  made,  that  nothing  was  said  al>out  money, 
was  explained  by  a  prominent  Democrat  to 
your  correspondent  lo-day  by  saying  that  noth- 
ing of  a  hostile  nature  was  said  before  Mr. 
Bishop,  butthecommittee  talked  the  matterover 
in  a  secret  session,  and  are  very  much  dissatisfied 
with  the  fact  that  Bishop  woiild  not  contribute 
more  liberally,  and  that  he  wanted  aU  his 
money  expended  in  his  own  cotinty.  The  talk 
about  quitting  up  another  man  will  probably  not 
result  in  any  decided  action,  although  certain 
members  oi'  the  committee  strongly  favored 
such  a  step.

bringing  with  them  the  bodies  of  Montague, 
James  .Smith.  Flynn.  and  Famsworth,  and  that 
there  are  more  expected  to  come.  The  Indians 
were  35  miles  south  of  Bannock  yesterday 
morning.  They  had  taken  all  the  horses  on  the 
upper  horse  prairie,  and  were  moving  slowly. 

Deer  Lodge.  Montana  Territory,  Aug.  15. — 
Gen.  Gibbon  arrived  here  at  10  o'clock  this 
morning,  accompanied  by  Lieut.  Jacobs.  He 
was  met  at  the  hotel  by  all  the  citizens  who  did 
not  go  to  the  front,  and  also  a  number  of  ladies, 
who  desired  to  give  the  hero  of  Big  Hole 
P;iss  a  hearty  reception.  The  Gener.il  Ls  feeling 
excellent,  but  a  little  stiff  from  hLs  wound. 
The  latest  intelligence  from  Virginia,  Montana,

been  killed.  The  rear  guard  of  the  Indians  was 
still  on  Horse  Prairie. 


NAVAL  AFFAIRS. 

Washington,  Aug.  16. — The  Secretary 
of  the  XaVy  will  soon  issue  an  order  fixing  the 
pay  of  cadet  midshipmen  who  have  finished 
their  academic  course  and  are  undergoing  their 
two  years'  course  of  instruction  at  sea  before 
gradiuiting.  The  Navid  Appropriation  bill, 
passed  at  the  last  session  of  Congress,  provides 
that  the  pay  of  cadet  midshipmen  while  ser\-- 
ing  at  sea  in  other  than  practice  ships,  shall  not 
exceed  $950  per  annum.  The  class  which  fin- 
ished the  academic  course  in  June  last  num- 
bers.43  members.  Some  of  them  hare  already 
been  ordered  to  sea,  and  the  others  will  be  or- 
dered soon.

salute  previous  to  returning  to  their  different 
stations  and  to  the  ships  to  which  they  belong. 
These  officers  and  men  have  received  the  highest 
praise  from  Gens.  Hancock  and  Bany  for  their 
efficiency  and  discipline,  and  for  the  services 
rendered  by  them  during  the  recent  labor  riots 
in  the  protection  of  life  and  property.

THE  DENTAL  CONVENTION 
Oakland,  Md.,  Aug.  16. — The  third  day 
of  the  Dental  Convention  was  taken  up  with  a 
discussion  of  anaesthetics.  Dr.  H.  C.  Thomp- 
son, of  Washington,  read  a  paper  on  "The 
effects  of  anaesthetics  on  the  human  body,  and 
the  restoration  from  dangerous  conditions  pro- 
duced by  them."  He  reviewed  all  the  various 
conditions  into  which  animal  and  hu- 
man bodies  are  brought  by  anaesthetics, 
and  stated  as  his  opinion  that  electricity  was  the 
best  remedial  agent  for  the  most  dangerous  mis- 
haps. Dr.  J.  J.  Caldwell,  of  Baltimore,  delivered 
a  short  address  on  the  same  subject,  showing 
how  the  spectroscope  vras  used  in  the  discov- 
erx  of   tupiors,    &c.     Dr.  Thomas  Wa^enzuuv 


of  New-Tork,  gave  an  exceedingly  interesting 
lecture  on  the  spectroscope,  showing 
by  diagrams  the  effects  of  anfes- 
thetics  on  the  blood.  He  proved  that 
a  crystallizing  condition  ^as  provided  by  them, 
bringing  about  a  hematocele  crystallization, 
which  sets  in  the  blood  in  a  normal* condition  in 
solution.  He  also  showed  the  crystals  capable 
of  receiving  and  tran.smitting  ojtygen  into  the 
1-lood  and  thence  into  the  skin.  After  a  general 
discussion  of  the  papers  read,  the  convention 
adjourned.  ' 

THE  VINELAND  BURIAL  CASE, 


WILL  MAGOIOLI*S  REMAINS  BE  BISTURBED  ? — 
A  MASS-MEETING  OF  CITIZENS  TO  PRO- 
TEST AGAINST  IT — WHAT  FATHER  VIVET 
SAYS. 

SptcUa  Dispatch  to  the  JOie-For*  Thnn. 
Vineland.  K.  J.,  Aug.  16.— The  Maggioli 
burial  case  still  excites  much  interest  here.  A 
citizens  mass-meeting  is  to  be  held  to-morrow 
evening  to  take  the  matter  into  consideration, 
and  a  call  has  already  been  issued,  signed  by  500 
persons.  In  an  interview  with  Father  Vivet  to- 
day he  claimed  that  the  law  was  clearly  on  his 
side,  and  cited  the  report  of  the  inter\-iew  with 
Bishop  Corrigan,  as  published  in  to-day's 
Times,  as  evidence  of  the  fact.  He  goes  to 
Newark  to-morrow  to  consult  the  Bishop,  and 
he  was  confident  that  when  he"  had  fully 
stated  his  case  his  action  would  be 
sustained  in  every  particular.  He  represented 
himself,  however,  as  willing  to  compromise  the 
affair.  Only  five  persons  have  been  buried  in 
the  cemetery  as  yet.  which  has  never  been  con- 
secrated. He  expects  the  Bishop  to  vi.sii  Vine- 
land  in  about  six  weeks,  when  this  will  be  at- 
tended to.  There  are  but  two  acres  in  the  ceme- 
tery, and  the  graves  are  ranged  side  by  side  at  one 
extremity  and  almost  encroaching  on  the  ad- 
joining jiroperty.  Father  Vivet  .stays  that  pre- 
vious to  tbe  visit  of  the  Bishop  he  will  cause  the 
remains  interred  in  four  of  the  graves,  all  those 
of  good  Catholics,  to  be  removed  five  or  six  iVet 
nearer  the  centre  of  the  grounds,  thus  isolating 
the  grave  of  Maggioli.  and  then  have  the  line 
of  consecration  drawn  so  as  to  exclude 
Maggioli  from  its  benefit-  The  narrow  strip 
thus  -set  apart  will  be  used  for  the 
int*-mient  of  still-bom  infants  aud  others  not 
eligible  to  places  of  buria!  in  consecrated  ground. 
Here  he  proposes  to  have  Maggioli's  body  re- 
main, provided  Mr.-?.  (Jregory.  who,  he  claims, 
has  a  prior  right  to  the  ground  where  he  lies, 
established  by  a  sale  made  in  A'ugust  last,  will 
conf<ent  to  the  removal  of  her  husband's  body. 
"Whether  the  Italians  and  those  interested  will 
I'onsent  to  a  compromise  of  this  kind  remains 
to  be  seen.  This,  the  priest  assured  me,  was  the 
only  sort  of  .'iettlement  that  he  would  con- 
sent to. 

A   GREAT  BANK    STTINDLE. 


TRIAL  OP  THE  PRESIDENT  A>'D  CASHIER  OP 
THE  DEFUNCT  MINER.S'  TRUST  BANKING 
COMPANY  OF  POTTSVIIXE. 

Sp/riai  Digpatrh  to  the  yetc-York  T\mrt. 

Reading,  Penn.,  Aug,  1(3.— The  trial  of 
Jacob  Huntzinger  and  J.  Albert  Huntzinger. 
President  and  Cashier  of  the  defunct  Miner.-*' 
Trust  Banking  Company,  of  Pottsville.  for  con- 
.spiracy  to  defraud  depositors,  was  commenced 
in  the  Quarter  Sessions  of  Berks  County  to-day, 
under  a  change  of  venue.  The  prosecutor  is 
Thomas  F.  Kerns.  Prothonotary  of  Schuylkill 
County.  Hon.  Linn  Bartholomew,  O.  J.  Bech- 
tel.  District-Attorney  Schalk,  of  Pottsville.  and 
H.  C.  (t.  Reber,  of  Reading,  appear  for  the 
plaintiff;  Hon.  Frank  W.  Hughes,  ex-Jndge 
James  Ryan,  John  Ryan,  James  Garrett,  of 
Pott.sville.and  George  F.  Barr,of  Reading,  for  the 
defense.  The  sessions  are  secret,  none  but 
witnesses  and  members  of  the  bar  being  ad- 
mitte<l.  The  charges  against  the  accused  are  of 
such  enormity  as  to  have  awakened  univensal 
interest.  One  year  ago  the  doors  of  the  bank 
were  closed  and  one  million  and  a  quarter  of  de- 
posits vanished.  Shortly  before,  it  is  alleged, 
a  division  of  $400,000  "among  the  Huntzinger 
family  was  made.  When  Assignees  were  ap- 
P<»iuted  and  the  affairs  of  the  bank  were 
investigated  a  singular  it^^m  of  assets 
appeared.  It  was  $750,000  in  notes 
of  men,  some  of  whom,  were  dead  and 
others  bankrupt,  while  some  bore  date  of  lS5<i. 
The  whole  batch  were  not  worth  the  paper  they 
were%vritten  on.  The  Huntzingers  held  the 
largest  part  of  the  stocks,  the  last  di%-idend  for 
Jacob  being  $S9,000.  and  for  his  wife,  $^5,- 
OOO.  After  the  bank  had  stopped,  Jacob 
lluntzinger's  life  was  in  such  jeopardy  that  he 
wai  compelled  to  flee  from  Pottsville. '  It  is  be- 
lieved that  the  creditors  will  not  realize  10  per 
cent.  Mr.  Hughes  denied  the  jurisdiction  of 
tfte  court,  a  point  which  will  be  decided  by 
Judge  Hagenraan  to-morrow.

TROIT  RIVER. 

Sprfial  Difpalrh  to  the  yetr-  York  Timea. 
Detroit,  Aug.  10.— The  closing  races  of  the 
National  Amateur  Association  regatta  called  to- 
p**t her  a  larger  body  of  spectators  than  on  the  pre- 
ceding days,  but  a  heavy  rain  in  the  afternoon  scat- 
tered the  crowds  and,  disarranged  the  programme. 
The  result  was  this:  Of  the  nine  entries  for  the  jun- 
ior single  sculls,  postponed  from  the  Detroit  na\-y 
races  of  Tuesday,  only  two  reported  at  the  start- 
ine  i>nint.  namely,  C.  M.  Grant,  of  the  Ulysses 
Chib,  of  Troy,  X.  Y.,  and  W.  F.  Sandway.  of 
the  Riverside  Club,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.  They 
pulled  a  mile  up  stream  and  back  without  any  atten- 
tion from  tbe  crowd,  Sandway  winning  in  I.3m.  475., 
and  Grant  coming  in  20  seconds  later.  For  the  pair- 
oared  shell  race  the  competitors  were  the  Emeralds, 
of  Saginaw,  and  the  Detroit  scullers  who  won  Tues- 
day. The  Emeralds  won  this  time  with  a  steady  lead 
in  Om.  4s..  beating  the  Detroiters  by  3"^  sec- 
onds. Th'e  distance  of  this  race  ~^as 
a  mile  and  a  half  down  stream  with  the  current, 
vbichrunsat  the  rate  of  four  miles  an  hour.  In 
the  single-scull  race  there  were  four  starters,  namely. 
Frank  Yates,  of  Grand  Haven,  who  was  the  favorite. 
but  fell  far  behind,  and  did  not  pull  through  for 
some  unknown  reason;  George  W.  Lee,  of  Newark, 
N.  J.,  who  won  in  9m.  lis.,  the  distance  '  be- 
ing one  and  a  half  miles,  straight  away ; 
James  O'DonuelL  of  Kew-OrleanB.  who  came 
in  four  seconds  behind,  and  F.  W.  Tompkins, 
of  Greenbush,  X.  Y..  who  was  close  behind  O'Donnell. 
The  complaints  against  Yates  were  loud  and  bitter, 
it  lieiiig  charged  that  he  gave  away  the  race.  The 
four-oarcd  shell  race  was  called,  with  eight  entries, 
namely:  The  Wolvenhook  crew,  of  Greenbush; 
Zephyrs,  of  Detroit;  Emeralds,  of  Saginaw;  Excel- 
siors.* of  Detroit;  Showaecaemettes,  of  Monroe. 
Mich.;  Union  t^prings,  of  Union  Springs,  X.  Y.; 
EnrekflK,  of  Xewnrk.  and  Watkins,  of  W-atkins 
t-rlen.  The  latter  withdrew,  and  the  seven  others 
started.  The  « ourse  was  three  miles,  with  a 
turn.  The  Showaecaemettes  won  in  18m. 
50s.;  Emeralds,  ISm.  53s.:  Wolvenhooks. 
ISm.  .57s.;  Eurckas,  ll*m.  O^s,;  the  Excelsiors  with- 
in a  leiigthor  two  ;  and  the  Union  Springs  distanced. 
The  excursion  to  night  was  a  grand  affair  and  was 
attended  bvthousands  of  people.  Three  steamers,  the 
l\»rtune,  Victoria,  and  Excelsior,  were  lashed  to- 
gether. The  Victoria  was  used  for  oopulsion;  for 
refreshment  purposes,  dancing,  and  mosic.  the  decks 
of  her  consorts  were  given  np,  and  the  scene  al- 
together was  one  of  gay  festivity.

bration, and  all  Vermont  gathered  her*  and 
seemed  to  give  itself  up  to  enjoyment  with  ut- 
ter abandon.  Yesterday  was  a  greiat  day  in  it» 
way,  but  there  was  no  President  to  take  part  ta 
the  exercises  and  himself  to  be  the  chief  objectr' 
in  them.  True,  he  came  yesterday,  but  late  in 
the  afternoon  and  in  the  heavy  rain,  which  n^- 
cessarily  compelled  him.  and  everybody  else,  to 
get  under  shelter  as  soon  a*  x>ossible. 
To-day,  however,  the  free  grnd  independent 
people  had  full  possession  of  him.  Th^ 
weather  was  bright  and  sunny,  and  everybody 
who  chose  co'nld  gret  near  His  Excellency  at  o-/ift 
time  or  another,  and  the  larger  majority  pJpo 
heard  him  speak.  They  also  saw  Mrs.  Haves, 
and  a  number  of  live  Cabinet  officers,  besides 
hearing  them  speak,  and  so,  alto^ther,  there 
v-as  enouph  to  satisfy  the  most  voraci/)us  ol 
sight-seers.  It  is  remarkable,  too,  wh^  vo- 
racity a  moral  crowd  exhibits  for  sight-seeing; 
It  seems  absolut**ly  insatiable,  and  will  stand 
looking  or  listening.  with  unflagging 
interest,  for  hours  to  spetfches  which  tc 
others  appear  tame  and,  te^iious  almost 
beyond  endurance.  T^e  people  themselvef 
as  they  are  gathered  here  are  by  far  the  mosl 
interesting  sight  of  the  whole  celebration.  They 
were  to  be  seen  in  a  mo«.t  intere.«ting  light  t^ 
day.  and  in  larger  numbers  than  on  any  d»ijy 
before.  Xever  until  now  has  y^nrh  a  crowd  been 
gathered  in  Vermont.  Every  tniin.  coming  fvona 
every  point  of  the  compass,  has  poured  \X&  nun> 
dreds  and  thousands  into  the  town,  and  thjasuiw 
rounding  country  ha.-*  bf^n  perfectly  df^uded 
of  its  population.  Of  coiir?^,  every  hotel 
in  the  town  has  b^en  jammed,  tc 
suffocation,  but  the  tempornry  sleeping 
accommodations  ''*n  the  cjsnap  grounoi 
have  taken  off  the  surplus  from  the  town.  I  ata 
sorry  to  say  that  the  influx  of  pickpockets  and 
hotel  thieves  has  be^n  large,  and  they  have 
been  phing  their  trade  \(itQ  eTiraordinary 
activity  right  and  left. 

The    programme    for  to-rlay  ivn?  a    comporv 
tively  simple  one,  but    things    became  mixed  « 
little  before  tho  Pud  was  reached.     There  was  8    ■ 
procession,  review,  orations,    and   a  banquet

a&d  shakf-haad.«.  One  of  the«e.  a  prominent 
local  poUtk*>:i.  remarked.  *' I  like  you  person- 

nlly,  3tr.  Pivsideat.    but  your   policy,"  to 

■wnich  he  2:ood  Lumoredly  replied.  "Come  now, 
nopnlitics  to-diy.'*  The  central  feature  of  the 
decora-ions  on  the  line  of  marc^^  was  a  Tri- 
umphal arrh  at  the  crossing:  of  Mam  and  Xorlh 
and  S.'UTh  streets.  This  macrnificent  structure  is 
decorated  upon  each  side  ■with  the  coat.?  of  arms 
f'f  the  various  States,  with  that  of  Verm;>nt  upon 
the  key.-stoue.  and  on  the  rever^^e  side  the  coat 
f<i  arm:*  of  the  I'nited  States,  and  upon  either 
t.;de  thc?e  sentiments:  "Peace  hath  her  vic- 
tories no  lead  renowned  than  war,'*  and  Gen. 
Stark's  famous  words,  ''There  are  the  red- 
coats ;  rbey  are  ours,  or  Molly  Stark  sleeps  a 
widow  ti-night."  The  marching  continued  nntil 
nearly  J  o'clock,  about  which  time  the  procession 
r>5ached  the  camp  ground,  and  the  Presidential 
party  ascended  the  stand  prepared  for  them  from 
which  to  review  the  military  as  they  passed  by. 
This  done,  the  crowd  made  loud  calls  for  the 
President  and  a  speech.  So  his  Excellency  said 
how  glad  he  was  to  meet  them,  and  then  in- 
troduced some  of  the  Cabinet  ofiicers,  who 
aiso  said  how  glad  they  were,  though 
in  Hither  more  words  than  th©  Presi- 
dent had  used.  Then  Mr.  Evarta  introduced 
?lr6.  Hayes  as  the  President's  MoUv  Stark,  and 
t-icro  was  great  cheering,  and  tinally  the  Presi- 
dent iutToJuoed  several  lidiea,  grand-daughters 
aud  grvat  (rrand-'iaughtcrs  of  the  hero  of  Ben- 
miigton,  Ucii.  Stark,  whereat  there  was  more 
chetriug.  

THE  ORATION  AND  SPEECHES. 

Prof-  BarUett's  oration  on  the  battle  was  the 
next  thing  in  order,  and  as  soon  as  the  high  of&- 
cials  bad  boea  admitted  to  the  great  tent  acrosa 
tbe  grounds  the  canvas  sides  were  lifted,  and 
there  'A'aa  a  great  msh.  In  one  minute  the  re- 
bferved  seats  around  the  speakers',  stand  was 
jammed  with  a  mass  of  crowding  humanity, 
about  100  deep.  It  became  so  terribly  warm, 
however,  that  the  outer  rings  of  the  mass 
dropped  off  lon^  befora  the  orator  bad  half 
ELni^shed  tUe  delivery  of  his  very  long  oration. 
Prof.  Bartlett.  howL-ver,  could  not  complain  of 
tfant  of  attention,  or  of  a  want  of  compliments 
to  his  effort,  buE  candor  compels  the  statement 
that  it  was  a  \^ishy-washy  affair  and  a  dreadful 
dilution  of  thought  with  words.  William  Cullen 
Bryaut's  poem  was  then  read  by  Pr^  J-  ^• 
IhurchiiU  of  Andover,  Mass.,  wi^i  tLplling 
sffect.  ^ 

It  was  generally  tmderstood  that  speeches  by 
ihe  distinguished  guests  woidd  be  made  after 
the  banquet,  which  was  neact  on  the  programme. 
tut  a  **  banquet"  ticket  cost  $1  50,  and  the 
masa  of  the  rural  crowd  were  not  Spaying 
that  sum  for  one  meal.  They  were  not  going 
to  lose  their  speeches  on  that  account,  however, 
aud  so  various  gentlemen  bad  to  come  forward 
again  and  t;iik,  and  they  constantly  talked  to  a 
stif&cientlv  enthusiastic  audience.  Everything 
and  everybody  was  cheered,  and  cheered,  and 
cheered  again.  It  was  a  grand  old  camp  and 
stump  meeting  combined,  and  it  might  be  golny 
nn  now  if  the  audience  could  have  had  its  way. 
President  Hayes  was  the  first  speaker.  He  said  : 

UiniES  A:i:D  FrLLOW-CmEESS  :  I  need  not  say  to 
vou  that  I  am  grateful  for  this  greeting.  I  amgrcatly 
obligod  to  thojw  who  had  charge  of  this  celebration 
foriueir  courtwy  tn  giving  me  an  opporttmitr  to 
enjov  with  them  th©  ceramonies  of  this  day.  I  am 
c,»ite  sure  nww  of  tu  will  foi^et  !t«  occurren«>— the 
notable  evtnt.  ihebattleofBamiington— so  great  an 
event  toward  otir  national  IndependeTicft.  I  am  stixB 
^»  fMl  it  hu  been  faidv  ofllafaratod  to^ar.    Only 


think  of  tlieproeession  that  we  beheld  an  honr  or 
two  a£o.  fC^ttzen  soldiers  «o  disciplined — aoldiert 
from  Vermont,  from  Connecticut,  from  Maisachu- 
setta,     and    New-Hampshire,      were      here.      [Ap- 

f)laa8e.  ]  But  more  touching  than  all  the 
ong  proces^on,  were  tho  veterans  of  the  Union 
Army,  (turvivoTs  of  the  1,200  battles  that  saved  the 
nation  and  made  liberty  throughout  the  world  for- 
ever possible.  [Applause-]  And  what  eye  was  not 
dimmed  as  we  saw  proudly  marching  with  his  com- 
mdes  that  maimed  soldier  walking  wiOi  his  crutch. 
But,  my  dear  friends,  I  must  not  det^n  you.  I  rec- 
ognize that  amonj  the  pages  of  the  speech  to  which 
we  have  listened  to,  packed  full,  as  each  pa^e 
was,  with  interestng  matter  touching  ou 
t  hat  great  event  of  1 00  years  ago, 
that  no  one  page  in  it  was  more  valtiable 
than  this,  that  100  years  ago  it  was  meritorious  to 
be  a  minute  man,  to  fight  in  the  catise  of  inde^nd- 
ence.  Is  there  not  some  merit  in  my  hecommg  a 
minute  man  I     [Applause.] 

At  the  close  of  the  President's  speech  Secre- 
taTT  Evarts  was  called  for,  and  responded  as 
follows : 

Mb.  pRESTOEyr,  Ladies,  asd  GEKTLETflcs :  It  Is 
fair  that  I  should  warn  you  that  although  I  am  very 
slow  to  bejfln  a  speech,  I  am  much  slower  to  end  it, 
and  I  know  your  otily  safety  is  in  my  retiring  before 
I  commence.     [Applause.] 

Secretary ^^  was  next  called  for,  and  re- 
sponded as  follows : 

Mt  Dear  Friexds:  This  call  is  grateful  tome. 
I  do  not  accept  it^as  a  personal  compliment  to  me, 
but  as  an  indication  of  "fraternal  feeling  su  the  part 
of  our  Northern  friends  to  their  erring  Southern 
brethren.     [Applause.] 

Attomey-Greneral  Devens  was  then  loudly 
called  for,  and  made  a  short  address. 


THE  BANQUET. 

Hunger,  perhaps,  more  than  anything  else, 
finally  but-a  stop  to  the  affair,  aud  the  holders 
of  tickets,  and  the  distinguistcd  guests  who  did 
not  need  them,  filed  into  the  long  banquet  tent 
behind  the  main  pavilion.  Tho  Presidential 
party  were  provided  for  at  some  cross  tables  in 
the  center,  and  the  less  distinguished  people  at 
tables  running  the  whole  length  of  the  tent. 
About  200  people  sat  down,  and.  considering 
the  price,  it  was  quite  a  good  dinner. 
The  presiding  officer  of  the  day,  as  yesterday, 
was  Mr.  Phelps,  of  Eurlinirton.  He  sat  at  tlie 
head  of  the  centre  cross  table,  the  President  on 
his  ri;rht,  and  Mrs.  Haves  on  his  left.  Upon 
him  devolved  the  task  of  proposing  the  toasts 
and  introducing  the  speakers.  None  could  have 
done  it  better,  and  the  successful  way  in  which 
this  part  of  the  programme  was  carried 
out  was  abnost  Wholly  due  to  the  ease  of  style, 
ready  wit  and  suggestive  hints  that  this  accom- 
plished gentleman  threw  out.  as  he  successively 
introduced  the  several  speakers  to  the  audience. 
"When  the  President's  health  was  proposed,  ho 
rose,  but  he  seems  to  be  getting  more 
and  more  into  the  stylo  of  his  great 
predecessor.  either  say  i  ug  nothing  or 
speaking  in  the  brief e>t  jiossible  manner. 
On  this  occasion  all  that  could  be  got  out  of 
him  was  the  statement  that  he  really  was  not 
equal  to  returning  adequ:Ue  thanks  "for  the  re- 
ception which  had  been  jrivon  him.  It  wa.-* 
quite  noticeable  to  those  wh(»  were  near  him  that 
there  was  a  perceptible  tou*'h  of  emotion  in  the 
Presidont's  voire  as  ho  spoke,  and  really  tho  re- 
ception, in  its  enthusiasm  and  cordiality,  was 
such  as  might  touch  him.  When  the  applausu 
ba*l  subsided  Mr.  Phelps,  in  some  happy 
remarks  proposed  the  health  of  ner 
Majesty.  Queen  Victoria.  and  appro- 
priate, to  this  he  read  the  letter  from 
Lord  Dufferin,  and  the  band  played  '*  God  Save 
the  Queen."  Mr.  Evarts,  wneu  it  came  to  his 
turn,  said: 

I  should  know  a  litt!©  better.  >rr.  President.  t1:nt

ton  when  he  was  interrupted  with  the  announce- 
ment of  the  ffoinjc  of  the  train,  which  com- 
pelled the  departure  of  the  President.  In  fact 
It  was  pant  5  o'clock,  «nd  the  work,  was  begrin- 
nine  to  tell  a  little  on  all  but  these  robust  Ver- 
mont farmers,  who  seemed  insatiable.  The 
Pre.=fiident  apologrized  to  Mr.  Allen  for  interrupt- 
inp:  him,  saying  the  railroad  officials  would  show 
him  no  mercy,  and  so  the  party  went  aboard 
the  train,  accompanied  by  a  military  detach- 
ment, and  the  exercises  'in  the  banquet  hall 
were  brought  to  a  close  soon  after. 

To-night  there  has  been  a  serenade  to  Gov. 
Prescott  by  the  Kew-HarauKhire  troops,  a 
torchlight  procession,  fireworks  and  illumina- 
tions, which  continued  until  a  heavy  shower 
of  rain  came  on  and  put  'out  the 
lights.  The  veterans  up  at  the  camp 
insisted  on  having  their  old  commander.  Gen. 
"Baldy"  Smith,  come  up  to  see  them  this 
afternoon.  CoL  Veazy  accompanied  him. 
He  did  a  little  talking,  though  not 
enough  to  satisfy  his  former  com- 
mand, and  Col.  'Venzy  filled  up  the 
space.  I  omitted  to  mention  that  the  two 
grasshoppers,  as  the  two  little  three-pounders 
were  called  by  the  soldiers  who  used 
them,  were  fired  in  salute  this  morning 
and  made  an  intcrestiusr  feature  of  the 
proces-iion.  Considering  that  these  little  pieces 
of  artillery  are  over  a  century  old.  and  probably 
bad  some  rouch  usage  before  they  were  c.ip- 
tured  at  Bennington,  they  are  in  a  wonderfully 
good  state  of  preservation.  In  fact, 
they  look  almost  a.s  good  as  new. 
and,  mounted  upon  mod(  rn  carriages  as  field 
pieces,  there  is  nothing  but  their  diminutive 
eiz'j  and  the  inscription  upon  them  to  dis- 
tin^iah  them  from  regiilar  field  artil- 
lery. It  happened  rather  curiously  that 
the  Corporal  of  the  Militia  company  in 
charge  of  these  guns  during  the  procession 
was  a  German  from  the  same  town  a-s 
Gen.  Baum.  Nothing  remains  to  be 
done  now  but  to  get  home.  The  little 
State  of  Vermont  has  had  her  Centennial  Cele- 
bration and  has  made  a  big  thing  of  it.  The 
largest  crowd  ever  gathered  in  the  State  has 
been  gathered  here,  and  it  is  certain  that 
there  has  been  no  lack  of  enjoyment. 
A  confused  idea  of  marching,  military,  shouting, 
singing,  processions,  orationa,  artillery  firing, 
and  brass  bands  without  end  is  the  impression 
which  the  events  of  the  cast  two  or 
three  days  leave  on  one's  mina.  To-morrow 
tlie  camp  will  bre&k  up  and  all  will  be  turning 
homeward-  When  Bennington  holds  her 
next  Centennial  anniversary  it  Is  to  be 
hoped  there  will  be  a  line  of  railroad 
running  into  It  with  at  least  two  tracks  and  tele- 
graph facilities  to  correspond.  The  telegraph 
people  have  managed  to  get  three  wires  at  work, 
and  the  Industry  of  the  overworked  operators

THE  i^iTLE  AT  miWA.

GREAT  ESGAGEaCEKT  SOTTTH  OP  THE  DANXTBE 
— THE  TtTBBaSH  FOBCES  SUCCESSPTTL  AT 
ALL  POINTS— UNCOMMON  BEATEBT  ON 
BOTH  SIDES— THE  BATTLE  AS  DESCBIBED 
BY  AN  EYE-WITNESS. 

The  war  correspondent  of  the  London 
I^ews  gives  a  long  and  graphic  account  of  the 
great  battle  at  Plevna : 

"The  night  between  tlie  30th  and  Slst  was  very 
wet,  and  troops  did  not  bejiui  to  march  forward  be- 
fore 6,  instead  of  4.  The  number  of  infantry  com- 
batants was  fXiiaUy  about  32,000,  with  160  field 
cannon  and  three  brigades  of  cavalry.  Baron  Kru- 
dener  was  on  the  right  with  the  whole  of  the  Tliirty- 
first  Division  in  his  fighting  line,  and  three 
regiments  of  tho  Fifth  Division  in  reserve 
at  Karajac  Burgarsky.  He  waa  to  attack 
in  two  columns,  a  brigade  in  each.  On  the  left 
was  Schackoskoy  with  a  brigade  of  the  Thirty-second 
Division  and  a  brigade  of  the  Thirtieth  Division  In 
fighting  line.  Another  brigade  of  the  Thirtieth  Di- 
vision was  in  reserve  at  Pellsat.  The  Turkish  posi- 
tion was  convex,  somewhat  in  horse-shoe  shape,  but 
more  pointed.  Baron  Krudener  was  to  attack  the 
Turkish  left  flank  from  Crivica  toward  the  River 
Vid.  Schackoskoy  was  to  assail  their  right  from 
Radisovo,  also  toward  the  River  Vid.  On  the  left 
fiank  of  the  attack  stood  SkobelofF,  with  a  brigade 
of  Cossacks,  a  battalion  of  infantry,  aud  a  battery, 
to  cope  with  the  Turkish  troops  on  the  line  from 
Ple\-na  to  I«ovka,  and  hindering  them  from  inter- 
fering with  the  development  of  Schackoskoy's  at- 
tack. On  the  right  fiank  stood  Lascaroff,  with  two 
cavalry  regiments  to  guard  Krudener  from  a  counter 
attack.  The  morning  waa  gloomy,  which  the  Rus- 
sians regarded  as  a  favorable  omen.  The  troops 
cheered  vigorously  as  they  passed  the  General . 
Physically,  there  are  no  finer  men  in  the  world.  In 
the  pink  of  hard  condition,  and  manning  without 
packs,  carrying  only  great  coat,  haversack  with 
rations,  aud  ammunition,  they  seemed  fit  to  go 
anywhere  or  do  anything.  Schackoskoy's  right 
coltunn  marched  over  Pclisat  and  SgaUevica.  Th© 
left  column  headed  straight  for  Radisovo.  The  artil- 
lery pushed  forward  from  the  first,  and  worked 
independently.  Marching  forward,  we  fotmd  the 
cavalry  forepo.sts  on  the  skv  lino  above  Pelisat,  and 
on  the  sloping  downs  the  itifantry  deployed  as  they 
advanced,  as  the  Rus^an  pruclictt^  is  on  open  ground. 
The  formation  was  in  column  of  double  companisH, 
with  rifle  companies  in  front  of  each  tattahon. 
Krudener,  on  the  richt,  opened  tUo  action  at  0;30, 
brineinp  a  batter>-  into  lir^  from  the  ridge  on  the 
TuvKish  earthwork  above  the  villagre.  At  first  it 
seemed  as  if  the  Turlw  were  surprised.  It  was  aomo 
tiiDe  ero  they  replied,  but  Uion  tney  did  so  vigorous- 
ly, and  gave  quite  a.s  good  as  they  got  from  Kru- 
dVncr.  The  objei'tive  i>t*  Prince  Scliackoskoy,  with

liiVhofsky.  Chief  of  iVince  Schackoskoy's  staff,  waa 
firinc  in  'line  on  the  TurkLih  guns  on  the  riilge  be- 
yond th©  ^-allcy  with  fine  effect.  The  infantry  wont 
down  into  the  valley  under  this  covering  fire,  and  I 
accompanied  the  column.  We  carried  Radisovo  with 
a  tri\dal  skirmish,  for  in  the  vUlnj;©  there  was  only  a 
handful  of  Basil i-Bftzouk&.  who,  stantbng  their 
groimd,  were  promptly  bayonetted.  The  infantry 
retnained  under  cover  of  the  village.  I  retximed 
np  th©  slope  to  our  br.tteries.  These,  firing 
with  great  rapidity  and  accuracy,  soon  corapolled  the 
Turki.-*h  cannon  to  q\ih  the  (»pposIte  heisiit.  I>uring

We  can  see'  tho  dead  and  tlie  more  severely

men  is  pnnrinc  over  tliam  ever  on  and  on.  The 
gnbant  punners  to  the  right  antl  to  the  left  of  na  stand 
to  their  work  with  a  win.  On  the  shell-.iwept  ridco 
the  Turkish  cannt.n  fire  begins  to  waver.  In  that 
e.trthwork  over  against  us  nioro  supports  stream 
down  with  a  louder  che*;r  into  the  Rus.Man  flghtuic 
line.  .Suddenly  ttio  disconnected  men  are  to^eTher. 
\Ve  can  discenl  the  officers  sictialinn  for  the  concen- 
tration bv  the  waving  of  their  swonis.  The  distance 
is  about  iOO  yards.  There  U  a  wild  nt5>h.  hemled  by 
the  CoUmeU  of  one  of  the  regiments  of  the  ITitrtv- 
sci-ond  Di\i.fion,  Tlie  Turks  in  the  shelter  trench  hold 
their  ground,  and  tire  steadily,  and  with  terrible  ef- 
fect into  the  aOvuncinK  forces.  The  vkdonols  horse 
goes  do\m,  but  tho  Colonel  is  on  his  feet  in  a  second, 
nnd.  waving  his  sword,  leads  his  men  forward  on 
fogt.  But  onlv  for  a  few  paces.  He  st.i>n;ers  and 
f.dls.  I  heard  afterward  he  was  killed.  We  can  hear 
tho  sound  of  wrath,  half  howl,  half  yell  with  which 
his  men,  bayonets  at  the  charge,  rush  to  avemre  him. 
They  are  over  the  p.-urapet  aud  sltelter  trench,  and 
in  among  the  Turks  lik«  an  avalanche.  Not  many 
Turks  get  a  chance  to  run  away  from  tho  gleaminK 
bayonets,  swayed  by  muscular  Russian  arms.  Tho 
outer  edge  of  tho  first  position  Is  won.  This  time 
the  Turks  did  not  wait  for  tlie  bayonet  points,  bnt 
with  one  final  vollev  abandoned  the  work.  We 
watched  their  huddled  mass  in  the  gardens  and  vino- 
vard  behind  the  pisition,  crammmg  tho  narrow  track 
between  tho  trees  togain  til©  sbeltciof  their  batteries  in 
the  rear  of  the  second  position.  l5o  fell  tho  first  po- 
sition of  the  Turk.t!,  Krudener  was  cle.irly  jammed. 
The  Turks  were  fi:;htinK  furiously,  and  wer»*  in  un- 
expected force  on  the  broad  central  ridce  of  Ihf  irs  as 
well  as  against  Krudener.  The  first  position,  iu  natur- 
al as  In  artificial  strength,  was  child's  phiy  to  the 
grim  starkness  of  th©  second  on  that  isolated  mame- 
Ion  there  with  the  batteries  on  the  swell  behind  it. 
But  Schafcoskoy  determined  togoforit.  and  his  troops 
were  not  the  men  to  balk  him.  The  fiirst  msh,  how- 
ever, was  out  of  them.  Many  must  have  been  blown. 
They  hung  a  good  deal  In  the  advance,  exposing 
themselves  recklessly,  and  falling  fast,  hut  not  pro- 
gressing with  much  speed.  It  is  a  dangerous  time 
when  troops  sullenly  stand  still  and  rt(>geedly  fire 
when  the  stationary  fit  is  on  them.  Scbakoakoy  kept 
bis  finger  well  on  the  throbbing  pulse  of  tbe  battle. 
Just  in  the  nick  of  time  half  his  resen'e  brigades 
were  thrown  into  the  fight,  while  the  other  half  took 
part  in  the  attack  on  our  left  fiank.  Tbe  new  blood 
tells  at  once.  There  Is  a  more  forward,  and  no  more 
standing  and  craning  over  th©  fence.  Tho  Turks 
in  the  flank  earthwork  ar©  reinforced.  1  «an 
see  some  Russian  officers  on  horseback  standlnc 
cooUv  behind  the  bank  of  the  vineyard  thst 
hives  .i  a  parapet  observing  the  addition  to  the 
Tuijajs  1  force.  They  ride  off  and  speedily  return. 
1  emi  hardly  say  how  it  all  happens,  but  all  of  a 
sudden  the  white  smoke  spurts  forth,  and  swarms  of 
dark-clothed  men  jure  scrambling  on.  There  is  evi- 
dently a  short  but  sharp  atmgcle.  Then  ono  sees  a 
swarm  of  men  flying  across  the  green  of  the  vine- 
yard. But  they  don  t  go  far,  and  prowl  around  th© 
western  and  northern  faces  of  the  work,  rendering 
its  oecupatlon  very  precarious.  The  TurKish  can- 
non from  behind  drops  shells  into  it  with  singu- 
lar precision.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  Hus- 
sians  occupied  this,  th©  second  position  of 
the  Turks,  but  never  held  it.  It  was  all  but 
empty  for  .^a  long  time,  and  continuous  fighting 
tooK  place  about  its  flanks.  About  ti  the  Turks 
pressed  forward  a  heavy  mass  of  infantry  for  its  re- 
capture. Schackoskoy  took  a  bold  step,  sending  two 
batteries  down  into  the  first  position  he  had  iakeu  to 
keep  them  iu  check.  But  the  Turks  were  not  to  be 
denied,  and,  in  suite  of  the  most  determined  fichtlng 
of  the  Russians,  had  reoccupied  their  second  position 
before  7.  The  First  Brigade  of  the  Thirty-flfth  Di- 
%-l5ion  had  early  inclined  to  the  left,  where  the 
towers  and  houses  of  Plevna  were  visible.  It  was 
rash,  for  the  brigade  was  exposing  its  right  flank  to 
the  Ttirkuth  cannon  astride  of  tbe  ridge,  but 
tho  goal  of  Flevna  was  a  keen  temptation.  There 
^•as  no  thoroughfare,  however.  They  wotUd  not 
give  up,  and  they  could  not  succeed.  They  charged 
again  and  acain,  and  when  they  could  charge  no 
more  from  sueer  fatigue  they  stood  and  died,  for 
they  would  not  retire.  The  reserves  came  up.  but 
only  to  swell  the  slaughter.  And  then  th©  ammuni- 
tion failed,  for  tho  carts  had  been  left  far  behlud, 
and  all  hope  failed  the  most  sanguine.  Two  com- 
panies of  RxiSBian  infantry  did  iimeed  work  round 
the  right  flank  of  the  Turkish  works  and  dodge  Into 
the  town  of  Plevna,  but  it  was  like  entermg  th© 
moutii  of  helL  On  the  heights  all  rotmd  th©  camum 
emoke  spurted  out,  and  the  vineyard  In  tbe  rear  of 
the  town  was  alive  with  Tmrks.  They  left  after  a  very 
^ort  visit,  and  now  all  hope  of  success  auvwhere 
mi  dead,  nor  did  a.  chance  offer  to  maka  tha'bwt  oi 


defsaai  Shackodn^  had  atot  ansa  left  to  oov«r  th»

tha  vpper  band  for  once,  and  wart  datsnnlxied  to 
show  that  they  knew  how  to  naka  the  most  of  11 
They  advanced  in  swarms  throtigh  the  dtisk  on  their 
original  first  position  and  captured  three  Russian 
cannon  before  tho  batteries  could  be  withdrawn. 
Th©  Turkish  shells  began  onae  more  to  whistle 
over  the  ridge  above  Radlahovo  and  fall  into 
the  village  behind,  now  crammed  with  wotmded. 
The  streams  of  wotmded  wending  their 
painftil  way  over  the  ridge  were  incessant.  The 
badly  wounded  mostly  lay  where  they  fell.  Later,  in 
the  darkness,  a  baleful  sort  of  Krankentraeger 
swarmed  over  the  battlefield  in  the  shape  of  Basni- 
Bazonks.  who  spared  not.  Ijingering  there  ou  the 
ridge  till  the  moon  rose,  th©  staff  could  hear  from 
down  below  on  th©  still  night  air  the  cries  of  pain, 
th©  entreaties  for  mercy,  and  the  yells  of 
bloodthirsty  fanatical  triumph.  It  was  indeed 
an  hour  to  wring  the  sternest  heart.  We 
stayed  there  to  learn,  if  it  might  be,  what  troops 
wore  coming  out  of  the  Valley  of  tbe  Shadow  of 
Death  below.  Were  there,  indeed,  any  at  all  to 
come !  It  did  not  seem  to  be  the  case.  The  Turks 
had  our  ranjw  before  dark,  aud  we  cot>ld  watch  the 
finsh  of  flame  over  against  us,  and  then  listen  to  tho 
scream  of  the  shell  as  it  tore  by  us.  The  sound  of 
rifle  bullets  was  incessant,  and  the  escort  and  the  re 
treating  wounded  were  struck.  A  detachment  at 
length  beean  to  come  straggling  up.  but  It  will  give  an 
idea  of  the  disorganization  to  say  thai  when  a  com- 
pany was  told  off  to  cover  somewhat  the  wounded  In 
Radihovo  it  had  to  be  made  up  of  the  men  of  several 
reiriments." 

Tha  battle  was  now  over,  and  the  Russian  d^eat 
complet©.    The  correspondent  adds : 

"About  9  o'clock  the  staff  quitted  the  ridge, 
leaving  it  littered  with  groaning  men,  and  moving 
gently  lest  we  should  tread  on  th© prostrate  wounded. 
W©  lost  our  way  as  we  had  lost  our  army.  We  could 
find  no  rest  for  the  soles  of  our  feet  by  reason  of  the 
alarms  of  the  Baahi-Bazouks  swaiming  In  among  the 
scattered  ai^d  retiring  Russians.  At '  length,  at  1 
in  th©  mommg,  havinjj  been  in  the  saddle  since  G 
on  the  previous  morning,  we  turned  into  a  stubble- 
field,  and  making  beds  of  tho  reaped  grain,  corre- 
spondent and  Cossack  alike  rested  under  tho  stars. 
But  we  are  not  even  then  allowed  to  rest.  Before  4 
an  a4arm  came  that  the  Bashi-Bazouks  were  upon 
us.  and  we  had  to  rouse  and  tramp  away.  Th©  only 
protection  of  th©  chief  of  what  in  the  morning  was 
a  fine  army  wus  now  a  handful  of  wearied  Cossacks. 
About  th©  Bashi-Bazouks  there  is  worse  to  tell.  At 
night  they  worked  round  into  Radihovo,  aud.  falline 
upon  th©  wounded  there,  butchered  them  without 
mercy.  Krudener  sent  word  in  th©  morning  that  ho 
had  lost  severely,  and  could  make  no  headway,  and 
had  resolved  to  fall  back  on  the  line  of  the  River 
Osma,  which  falls  into  the  Danube  near  Kikopolis. 
There  had  l>een  talk,  his  troops  beine 
fresh,  of  renewing  th©  attack  today  (31st) 
with  his  cooperation,  but  it  Is  a  plain  state- 
ment of  fact  that  we  have  no  troops  to  attack  with. 
The  most  moderate  estimate  is  that  we  have  lost  two 
regiments,  say  5,000  men,  out  of  our  three  brigades, 
a  ghastly  nnmher,  beating  Eylau  or  Friedland.  This 
take.H  no  account  of  Krudener's  losses.  We.  too,  re- 
tire on  the  Osma  River,  above  Eulgarenl.  and,  to  the 
best  of  onr  weak  strencth,  cover  the  bridge  at  Sis- 
tova.  Ono  cannot,  at  this  moment  of  httrried  con- 
fusion, realize  all  the  possible  results  of  this  stroke, 
80  rashly  courted.  Xot  a  Russian  soldier  stands  be- 
tvreen  TImova  and  the  victorious  Turkish  Army  in 
l.;Ov©ca  and  Vle\Tia.  C>nly  a  weak  divialon  of  the 
Klovonth  Corps  stands  between  Timova  nnd  the 
Shumla  Army.  I  look  on  Schackoskoy's  force  as 
wrecked— as  no  ]on;;pr  for  this  campaign  to  be 
counted  for  a  fighting  integer.  It  is  not  10  days 
since  tho  Thirtieth  Divi.sion  eros.sed  the  Danube  in 
the  pride  of  saperb  condition.  Now  what  of  it  is  left 
is  doraoralizod  and  shattered.  So  on  this  sid©  of  the 
Balkans  there  romnins  but  the  Ninth  Corps,  already 
roughly  haudled.  once  at  Kikopolis  and  i'levna.  one 
division  of  the  Eleventh  Corns,  and  the  UuRtchuk 
Army.  Now,  if  the  Rustchuk  Army  is  marched  to 
tbe  west  against  Ple-vna,  then  tho  Turkish  Army  of 
Rust-chuk  will  let  loose  on  the  Russian  commtuiica- 
tionatoTimova.  Onecannotavoidtheconcluslon  that 
the  sdvanceovertheBalkansis  seriously  pompromi.sed. 
The  Ruttslan  strait  is  so  bad  that  tbe  scattered  de- 
tachments have  been  called  np  from  out  Roumania. 
and  a  Roumanian  division.  comm.\nded  by  Gen. 
Slann,  which  cros.s^d  a  day  or  two  at  Nlkopolis.  has 
been  calletl  up  on  the  line  of  the  Osma  River.  An 
Aide-de-Camp  of  the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas  was  pres-

with  tho  e\il  tidtngi-  We  are  ju5t  qtdtting  this

THF.     STORY     TOI.n      OF     A     HARTFORD    MER- 
CHANT's  exploits  IN'  THE  FALL  OP  IS34. 

I-'romUte  Itfirt/itrd  Cnurnnf.  Avff.  14, 
In  the  year  1s;M  the  Fall  election  In  New- 
Vork  had  been  preceded  by  a  campaiirn  of  unustiul 
excitement.  The  great  r>emocratii*  leader,  William 
L.  ilarcy.  was  the  candidate  of  bin  party  for  Oov- 
ernor.  It  was  i-xjiected  that  there  would  be  lively 
times  on  tho  day  of  i-lcction  in  the  (Mty  of  New- 
York;  and  several  Hartford  merchants  arranged  to  go 
do»rn  together  and  «ec  the  fun.  and  at  the  same  time 
t;ike  advantage  of  the  trip  to  purchase  jjoiids.  They 
arrived  in  tho  City  by  boat  on  th©  mominff  of  elee- 
ti-'U.  and  took  rmmj*  at  the  New-Tork  Hotel,  which 
Rloixl  on  tbe  prevr.t  site  of  -\.  T.  Stewart  &Co.'s 
down-town  lUore  nn  Chambers. Mreet.  Among  tho 
number  were  I)a\id  ( 'lurk  and  A.  S.  Porter. 
The  whole  party  vl^itod  some  of  the  voting  pre- 
cincts and  saw  the  "lun."'  which  Included  many 
street  fights  and  minor  rows.  D;iring  th©  afternoon 
ilr.  Clark  and  Mr.  I'ortvr  wero  lookicj;  over  news- 
papers iii  tlie  rt-aditic-rooTO  of  the  hottl.  and  were 
Seated  aiwrt.  At  one  end  of  th©  room  was  the  bar. 
V*  hilo  MT.  Clark  was  busily  engaged  reading  his  at- 
tention was  attrncted  bv  loud  voice-"*,  amonj:  which 
he  recognized  Mr.  Porter's,  and  looking  up  saw  three 
young  fellows  somewhat  excitedly  enjcaged  Iu  con- 
versation with  Mr.  Porter.  He  went  to  learn  the 
cause  of  th©  debate,  ati.i  found  that  the  strangers 
were  demHndins  that  Mr.  Porter  should  pay  a  bot- 
tle of  wine  which  they  alleged  he  h-id  lost  on  a  bet. 
Of  course  he  had  made  no  bet,  and  the  fellows 
were  attempting  to  impose  upon  hira,  Mr.  Clark  was 
then  a  fspnif  man — not  as  portiv  a.s  he  it  now — bnt 
wns  mnscniar  and  strong,  and  was  a  dangerous 
subject  in  a  ruugh  aud  tumble.  When  he 
heard  Iho  yi>oke:*man  of  the  psrty  of  three 
declare  that  unless  Pi»rter  paid  the  wine  erery  bone 
in  hia  l>ody  should  bo  broken,  h©  stepped  np  to  the 
fellow  and  said  :  *■  You  trv  that  once,  and  Vll  take 
c^-eryoneof  yon  singly  and  throw  you  out  of  that 
window  '■ — pointing  to  a  window  not  far  up  from  tho 
floor.  TheDluatermg  younj:  uiau  looked  at  tbe  tall 
form  before  him,  and  seeing  two  sledge-hammer  fists 
and  long  arms  ready  for  business,  took  the  hint  to 
depart,  and  his  companions  went  with  him.  Mr. 
ClarK  w.i.«i  con.'JidcraJ'Iy  interested  in  the  episode,  and 
befor©  he  left  Xew- York  learned  that  tho  fellow  he 
had  talked  witb  was  Louis  Nnpoleon,  who  waa  then 
If.iding  ft  fu5t  and  reckless  life  in  the  Motr«>polis, 
When  he  saw  the  man  again  it  wa^  In  185*.  but 
under  different  eircura;«tonces.  It  wa.t  in  Paris,  and 
the  yonth  had  become  Emperor  of  the  French,  and 
Mr.'Clarkdid  not  think  it  advisable  to  Introduce 
himself  as  thrt  person  who  twenty  odd  years  beioro 
showed  tiyht  In  New- York." 


A  BBAVE  SAILOR  HEAD. 


JAMES  H.  LEE,  OXE  OF  THE  HEROES  OF  THE 
KE\RSARGE. 
Frofn  tlw  Ofixrcjo  JVmwi.  Ah^.  13. 
James  H.  Lee  died  at  his  residence  in  this  city 
on  Saturday  evening  last,  from  an  attack  of  bralu 
fever.  Mr.  Le©  was  bom  on  Long  Island,  but  at  a 
very  early  age  was  removed  to  BuHTalo  where  he  lost 
both  his  parents.  At  tho  age  of  about  10  years  he 
went  to  reside  at  Baldwinsville  in  this  State,  and 
later  in  North  Stirling,  at  wliich  place  and  in  this 
city  his  home  has  since  been.  Mr.  Lee  was  a  man  of 
integrity  and  intelligence,  and  one  of  his  distiuguish- 
ing  traits  of  character,  when  in  healtli,  was  his  untir- 
ing activity.  H©  was  reaoluto,  earnest,  and  untiring 
in  th©  discharge  of  every  duty.  While  yet  a  young 
man.  ho  made  a  three  years'  cruls©  in  th©  Pacific 
Ocean,  and  on  his  return  to  th©  United  States,  find- 
ing the  country  at  war  to  put  down  th©  rebellion,  en- 
listed in  the  United  States  Navy,  and  reporting  iu 
Boston,  he  was  selected  as  on©  of  tho  picked  crew  for 
the  United  States  steamer  Kearsaryo,  then  Just  to  en- 
ter upon  its  memorable  cruise  which  resulted  in  the 
sinking  of  the  rebel  war  steamer,  Alabama.  Through- 
out that  memorable  cruise  of  nearly  two  years  Mr. 
I.<ee  enjoyed  the  full  respect  of  his  officers  and  had 
their  commendation  for  his  faithful  attention  to  duty. 
In  Capt.  W^inslow's  first  report  to  the  Secretary  of 
the  Navy,  ho  complimented  his  entire  crew — officers 
and  men,  without  exception.  They  all  fought  directly 
under  his  eye  and  every  man  did  hia  duty  In  such  a 
manner  aa  to  be  worthy  of  the  cotnmendatlon  of  his 
commander  and  th©  thanks  of  his  country.  Subse- 
quently when  the  President,  through  the  Secretary  of 
the  Navj-,  requested  Capt.  Winslow  to  designate  by 
name  any  who  dtiring  th©  action  wero  conspicuous 
for  braverj-.  coolness,  and  good  conduct,  that  they 
might  b©  especially  thanked,  Capt,  Winslow  named 
certain  officers,  and  James  H.  Lee  and  two  other  sea- 
men. Mr.  Le©  never  saw  Ills  honorable  mention  until 
after  his  discharge,  when  he  read  it  in  the  published 
reports  of  the  Seoretarj'  of  the  Navy,  and  he  always 
modestly  said  that  he  did  not  know  what  he  did  diir- 
ing  the  battle  to  entitle  him  to  it.  But  it  was  an 
honor  of  -which  any  Ameiican  citizen  mijht  feel  very 
proud,  to  be  singled  out  in  a  crew  of  over  160  meii, 
all  told,  and  designated  by  the  commander  as  on©  of 
the  number  entitled  to  especial  praise,  where  every 
man  was  a  hero. 


FOSSIL  FOOT-PRIXTS. 
The  Pottaville  (Penn.)  Miners*  Journal  of  the 
13th  inst  says :  "  Footprints  of  an  ancient  Saurian 
were  discovered  on  a  slab  of  sand-stone  ou  Friday 
last  by  a  young  lady  in  Tumbling  Run  Valley,  about 
one  mile  south  of  Pottsville.  They  occur  in  the  red 
shale,  F.  11,  of  Prof.  Rogers,  immediately  tmder  the 
conglomerate  of  th©  coal  measures.  They  are  doubt- 
leas  the  sam©  as  found  sear  th©  same^  locality  some 
years  since  by  Prof.  Isaac  Lea,  of  Philadeluhia,  and 
elaborately  figured  in  the  proceedings  of  the  Acad- 
emy of  Natunil  Sciences  in  Philadelphia.  Th©  foot- 
prints ar*  four  ia  number,  showing  three  toes  and 
the  ball  of  tho  foot,  each  about  three  inches  long. 
These  are  rare  occurrences,  and  th©  specimen  should 
be  well  preMirved.  In  the  sam©  locahty  fine  Impres- 
sions of  Algos  abound."

These  figures  are  not  the  same  arrived  at  In  the 
committee  a  totals.  They  make  out  a  total  of  liabili- 
ties of  *a9,311,776  13,  a  total  of  as&etsof  ^4,826,- 
725  7y,  and  a  surplus  ot  $3,51-1.943  66.  They 
make  no  reckoning,  however,  of  the  contingent  lia- 
bilities, and  deduct  some  of  the  real  estate  mortgages 
from  the  estimated  value  of  property  items.  There 
are  also  several  discrepancies  between  the  valuations 
in  the  body  of  the  report  and  in  the  balance-shaet. 
For  instance,  in  the  former  tbe  real  estate  at  Buf- 
falo ia  valued  at  $400,029  t>6,  and  in  the  latter 
At$34o.OOO;  in  the  former  the  real  estate  at  Roch- 
ester is  set  down  as  worth  $13,010  UB.  and  in  the 
latter  as  worth  $8,000.  The  flgures  given  above  ar© 
those  taken  from  tbe  body  of  the  report.  A  notice- 
able fact  is  that  the  committee's  valuations  of  assets 
are  largely  In  excess  of  the  oompony's  estimates  in 
their  annual  report,  except  in  the  matter  of  stocks 
and.  bonds.  Until  these  latter  are  reached  tbe  aggr»- 
^te  excess  of  the  committee's  valuations  foot  up 
i|t8,238,710  81.  Here,  however,  a  reduction  Is  made 
by  the  committee  of  fully  $3,505,982  90  from  the 
company's  estimatee. 

The  statement  fiundshed  of  last  year's  b^uess 
■ummarized  gives  tbe  following  result:

The  committee  say :  "Fixed  charges,  which  indudo 
interest  on  bonds  and  rentals  of  leased  lines,  ore  less 
than  $2,900,000  annually.  Applicable  to  these  are 
incomes  from  railroads  and  all  other  sources  excent 
coal,  amounting  to  $2,000,000.  leaving  to  be  met  by 
profit  on  coal  a  deficit  of  rather  loss  than  .^l.OOO,- 
000.  In  the  first  half  of  the  year  a  profit  has  been 
made,  notwithstanding  tho  low  prices  for  coal  which 
prevailed.  Upon  present  production,  average  re- 
ceipts of  $3  per  ton  would  cover  fixed  chargea, 
and  all  in  excess  of  that  sttjn  would  be  applicable  to 
dividends.  Upon  a  production  of  2.500,000  tons, 
average  receipts  of  $4  per  ton  would  pay  all  charges 
and  restore  to  the  corporation  its  former  prosperity. 
The  company's  mines  and  equipment  are  of  a  cap** 
city  to  produce,  annually,  4.000.000  tons  of  coal." 

The  committee  are  also  responsible  for  the  follow- 
ing statement :  "Wages,  aa  well  as  the  price  of  coal, 
have  been  nndtily  depressed.  An  ad\'ance  of  both 
would  beoefit  all  Interests." 

Their  conclusions  are  aaiollows  :  *'  It  is  a  corpo- 
ration well  and  honorably  managed,  having  and  de- 
serving that  reputation  in  the  community.  Its  policy 
has  been  conservative,  but  nevertheless  'progr^slve. 
Errors  in  management  have  occurred,  but  they  have 
been  rare-  It  has  been  wonderfully  successful,  its 
dividends  having  been  larg^.  and  for  38  years  con- 
tlnuons.  The  depressed  condition  of  its  securities  ia 
due  chiefly  to  the  low  price  of  coaL  For  this,  re- 
sponsibility does  not  retd  upon  the  managers.  Nome 
Investments,  prematurely  made,  have  been  unprofit- 
able. The  troubles  entailed  by  extremely  low 
prices  for  coal  aud  the  lociing  np  of 
capital  have  been  asgravatod  by  the  re- 
iterated mtsstatements  of  unscrupulons  persons. 
The  corporation  is  financially  strong.  Its  property 
is  enormous  in  extent  aud  value,  and  admirably  cared 
for  by  men  of  superior  qualifications.  The  markets 
which  they  have  opened  for  coal  make  possession  of 
the  leased  lines  necessary  and  profitable.  The  loss 
which  nominally  accrues  will  doubtle.'is  soon  give 
pI.Bce  to  a  direct  profit.  With  coal  at  reasonable 
prices,  which  cannot  long  be  withheld,  success  equal 
to  i^t  of  the  pa.st  is  assured.*' 

The  report  has  the  following  addendum : 

"Since  the  foregoing reoort  was  written,  the  Board 
of  Managers  has  exwjuted  a  mortgage  for  $10,000,- 
000  upon  the  company's  property  in  Pennsylvania. 
This  mortgage  covers  and  includes  the  bimds  of  1894, 
-retires  those  duelu  November,  1877,  and  takes  up 
the  floating  debt  of  tho  comimny — sav,  net,  $1,500,- 
000 ;  leaving  a  balance  of  $'ZO*10.0oO  bonds,  which, 
if  required  to  be  issued,  will  be  tbe  only  addition  to 
the  present  debt  of  the  corporation,  and  will  provide 
means  to  meet  any  contingency  likely  to  arise  before 
Jan.  1,  ISsM.  even  should  there  l-e  no  mcrea.<!e  in  its 
current  profits,  which  seems  hardly  probable."

A  CARD  FROM  ilR.  THOMPSOX, 
To  (Ac  Editor  oj  the  Xcu.--  fork  TimcM  ; 

A  paragraph  published  in  your  paper  of  to- 
day, captioned  "  Rumored  Sale  of  the  WoHd,"  which 
you  credit  to  an  insurance  sheet,  not  only  contains 
8tntemei:ts  calculated  to  injure  me,  but  couples  tho 
uaoie  of  Hon.  Stilson  Hutchins  with  my  move- 
ments in  this  City  in  au  unfavorable  manner.  The 
paragraph  says : 

/Yr^f—That  "W.  P.  Thomp.«ion  was  sent  to  N'ew- 
TorV  by  Mr.  Hutchins  to  "see  what  cotild  be  douo 
toward  reducing  the  ex]>enses  of  publishing  in  this 
aty." 

Second — That  I  approached  Mr.  Hurlbert  of  the 
TTorW,  and  that  Mr.  Hurlbert  declined  a  proposi- 
tion. 

TAfrd— That  the  Tribune  was  selected,  and  a  for- 
feiture of  $.^,000  attached  if  I  were  not  anccessfnl 
in  carrying  out  my  propositions,  and  that  Mr. 
Hutchins  was  Thompsons  backer. 

Fovrth — That  ou  the  1st  of  September  my  en- 
gagement with  the  Tribune  expires,  and  that  Mr. 
Hutchins.  satisfied  with  the  result,  offers  an  addi- 
tional $o0.000  for  the  ITorW  newspaper. 

Allow  mo  to  state  if  you  please  that  not  one  word 
of  tnith  is  contauied  in  the  assertions  referred  to. 

f  ir«f— That  Mr.  Hutcliins  had  nothing  to  do  with 
my  coming  to  New- York;  in  fact,  there  was  a  mis- 
understanding between  myself  and  Mr.  Hutchins  of 
A  personal  nature,  growing  out  of  a  matter  lowil  to 
St.  Louis,  in  which  only  thoae  immediately  interested 
were  concerned — Mr.  HuteJiins,  myself,  and  "  Little  " 
Lambert  being  the  parties. 

SpcoTid— That  I  never  exchanged  a  word  with  Mr. 
Hnrlbert  in  regard  to  hia  office  management,  or  on 
any  other  subject,  and  that  I  am  not  acquainted 
with  him. 

Third — That  I  secured  tho  Tribune  In  the  sipall 
sum  of  $5,000  as  a  fotfeittire  in  case  of  failure  to 
print  the  paper  at  an  agreed  price,  is  too  absurd  for 
anv  one  of  "average"  intelligence  to  believe. 

^ourtA — That  the  price  of  }VoTld  stock  has  taken 
an  upward  tendency,  and  that  such  increase  is  at- 
tributed to  our  movementa  and  presence  In  Xew- 
Vork,  Is  a  fact  that  we  trust  the  World  stockholders 
will  appreciate. 

In  short,  we  have  been  fortunate  to  obtain  a  nosi- 
tion  of  trust  over  the  heads  of  some  men  who,  wed- 
ed  to  old  ideas  of  printers'  tmions,  are  sore,  and, 
goaded  as  they  are,  they  seek  to  injure  tis  by  caus- 
ing unfavorable  articles  to  be  published  in  the  "  insu- 
rance sheet"  referred  to.  and  the  Svn  (which  shines 
for  a  certain  class)  gladly  reproduoes  all  such  stuff.

DEXLALS  BY  G£A'.  J.  B.  HEXDERSOX. 
Since  the  suspension  of  the  Pike  Cotinty 
Bank,  and  the  alleged  defalcation  of  Its  Cashier.  A. 
M.  Weir,  some  of  the  Pike  Comity  (Mo.)  papers  have 
been  putting  Gen.  John  B.  Henderson  in  a  bad  light 
with  respect  to  the  bank,  and  also  to  the  Cashier. 
The  stories  circulated  were  that  Gen.  Henderson  had 
ofi'ered  Mr.  TTeir  a  situation  Iu  a  bank  in  St-  Louis  t^ 
Caaiiior;  that  be  had  advised  him  to  remove  to  St. 
Louis,  and  promised  to  furnish  him  capital  to  specu- 
late in  stocks.  &&,  on  'Change,  and  that  he  liad  vol- 
unteered to  defend  Mr.  "Weir  in  the  courts  without 
fee.  In  reply  to  these  stories  Cen.  Henderson  has 
writteu  from  tliis  City  a  sharp  letter,  which  apx>ears  in 
the  Louisiana  (Mo.)  Jour'na/.  Iu  it  he  says:  "The 
statements  made  in  the  iloutgomery  City  paper  and 
repeated,  as  you  say,  at  Louiahina,  are  grossly  aud  in- 
famously false.  It  is  an  unmitigated  iie  that  I  ever 
wrote  Albert  Weir  to  go  to  St.  Louis  or  anywhere 
else  on  earth.  I  didnot  know  that  he  was  in  St.  Louis, 
or  that  he  thought  of  going  there  nntil  within  the 
last  few  days.  1  received  a  letter  from  him.  written 
at  St,  Ivouis,  for  the  sole  purpose  of  asking  me  if  1 
would  consent  to  defend  him  In  the  Pike  CHrcnit 
Court  at  the  coming  September  term.  It  is  a  lie  Uiat 
I  wrote,  SEud,  thought,  or  dreamed  of  seeking  a  sitna- 
tion  for  him  in  any  bank  or  elsewhere.  He  asked  me 
no  such  thing,  and  1  surely  would  not  volunteer  mv 
services  at  present.  It  Is  a  lie.  an  infernal  lie,  that  I 
ever,  by  wilting,  by  speecli.  by  IntimatiDn.  or  by 
thought,  exempted  him  from  tJlame,  or  in  any 
manner  or  to  any  person  palliated  or  attempted  to 

fulliate  bis  offenses.  It  is  a  lie  that  In  this  connection 
ever  referred  to  the  offences  of  others,  and  much 
leu  an  excuse  for  and  in  mitigation  of  hia  crime.  Al- 
though it  concerns  nobody  else  whether  I  am  paid  for 
my  legal  service  or  not.  esi>ecljilly  in  a  civilized  coim- 
try  where  tho  State  must  furnish  counsel  If  the  de- 
fendant cannot,  yet  it  is  an  infamous  lie  that  1  ever 
proffered  to  defend  him  gratuitouf^ly.  He  did  not  ask 
me  to  defend  him  without  fee,  and  I  stirely  am  not  so 
enamored  of  my  losses  as  a  stockholder  in  the 
bank  aa  to  embraoe  so  precipitately  my  despoiler.''

ICAKAGERS  OP  THE  COHPAiTT  TO  BAT 
WHETUKB  HE  18  JUSTLY  ACCUSED, 

I  have  carefaHy  perused  tho  dispftteh  from. 
your  Chicago  correspondent,  giving  the  azmror  of 
Hon.  William  Bross  and  Mr.  Sherwood  to  my  eom* 
mnnication  in  your  Issue  of  yesterday,  hi  tha  flzsl 
place,  I  am  not  aware  of  anything  in  my  comnnzni- 
cation  of  Wednesday  from  which  Mr.  Shecrwood  eoold 
have  obtained  his  expression  "  Much  beprmised  wl 
of  books."  I  am  aware  that  once  or  twice  Teo&aHj 
in  publishing  the  oommunicatlons  from  your  eoi^ 
respondent  in  Hartford,  mention  has  been 
made  of  the  perfect  system  of  book-keeping  in> 
trodneed  under  my  management  Into  the  Chartai 
Oak  Life  Insurance  Oompanr-  Mr.  8herwood  murt 
have  read  Tax  New-York  Ti^tes.  Ax  regards  Mr. 
Sherwood's  astonishment  at  the  fact  that  the  flnt  cn^ 
try  in  these  books  bore  date  May  12.  1S76,  It  showv  - 
how  little  he  comprehended  or  knew  coneomlng  tha  ' 
matters  which  he  waa  »ent  to  Hartford  to  invastl' 
gate.  i.  My  coimection  with  the  company  eommeaoeed 
in  December,  1875.  I  found  what  I  regarded  as  a 
very  imperfect  system  of  book-keeping  in  use  by  the 
company,  and  made  up  my  mind  at  once  to  Instltnt* 
a  radical  change.  I  claim,  without  fear  of  contradic- 
tion on  the  part  of  any  person  familiar  with  tho 
business,  that  five  months  was  not  an  unreasonable 
length  of  time  to  spend  in  examining  the  affairs  of  a 
corporation  possessing  over  $13,000,000  of  aueti, 
the  accotmts  of  which  had  been  carelessly  and 
erroneously  kept  dtiring  the  past  12  or  15  yeaia, 
before  the  necessary  data  could  be  obtained 
upon  which  a  new  Ret  of  books  could  be  correctly 
and  intelligently  opened.  Mr.  Sherwood  further 
states:  "How  thev  ever  got  them  [meaning  tho 
new  books]  started,  or  how  much  tne  company 
might  have  been  robbed  of  prior  to  the  date  of  com- 
mencement, there  seemed  no  means  of  telling." 
Very  good.  Then  he  admits  that  he  has  no  evidence 
to  show  how  mucli  I  stole,  or  that  1  ever  stole  a  dt^- 
lar,  but.  for  fear  that  something  nilcht  be  omitted. 
Bets  it  down  at  a  million. 

fJov.  Bross.  referring  to  the  "figures"  of  Mr.  Sher- 
wood. calU  upon  me  to  prove  that  I  have  not  stolen 
$1,000,000  of  the  funds  of  the  Charter  Oak 
Ijfe.  Gov.  Bross  mieht  as  well,  referring  to  the 
'■  figures"  of  Mr.  Sherwood,  caII  upon  Rev.  Dr.  Bydei 
to  prove  that  he  has  not  systematical  ly,  week  after 
we«'k,  filched  from  the  contributiou  plate  of  his  con- 
gregation a  tithe  of  the  n-.oney  contributed. 

In  reply  to  Mr.  Sherwood  s  charge  of  reckless  mazk- 
aei-mvnt,  I  will  call  the  gentleman'.**  attention  to  the 
f-cnres  in  my  communicatioD  oi  ye»;ter<lay,  showing 
an  improvement  in  th*?  affairs  of  tho  company  under 
r.iy  management  of  §s(>;»,-i,ko  50  in  UO  montha. 
To  his  "chai^  tliat  I  was  installed  in  my 
place  through  cormption  I  will  aay,  that  before  I 
would  consent  to  have  anything  to  do  with  the  com- 
pany I  insisted  that  the  whole  plan  of  reorganiza- 
tion, including  my  famous  contract,  should  be  sub- 
mitted to  Commissioner  Stedman  for  his  approval. 
It  was  so  submitted  to  Mr.  Steadman.  and  by  him  to 
other  prominent  gentlemen  in  H.irtford,  including 
Sir.  Burr,  proprietor  of  the  Hartford  Timeji,  afl. 
strangers  to  me,  and  by  them  thoroughly  discussed 
and  approved- 

When  Hon.  WiUlam  Bross  has  successfully  an- 
swered tho  figures  which  I  published  in  mv  commu- 
nication to  you  yesterday.  I  have  others  of  a  eimilar 
nature  for  hia  digestion.  But  as  these  gentlemen 
have  practically  declined  to  canT  out  their  loudly 
vaunted  boasts  of  their  intention  to  go  to  Hartfori 
and  make  the  necessary  charts  implicating  me  in 
criminal  transactions,  and  In  Ueu  thereof  mildly  and 
weakly  suggest  that  the  policy-holders  of  the  com- 
p.iny  ought  10  employ  a  lawyer  to  prepare  a  case 
against  me,  wo  will  leave  them  to  prove  their 
charges  in  a  court  of  justice  in  the  State  of 
rihnois.  and  now  cali  ux>oii  Hon.  Mar- 
shall Jewell  and  Hon.  W,  W.  >^ton.  men 
of  national  reputation,  and  who  an?  well  known  to 
be  the  last  men  who  would  be  guilty  of  screening  any 
per&on,  high  or  low,  from  the  effects  of  any  criiniual 
neglect  of  criminal  a-l ministration  to  make  the 
ciiarges  which  these  honorable  gentlemen  from  Chi- 
cago feel  unable  or  unwilling  to  make.  I  desire  also 
to  call  the  attention  of  Messrs.  Jewell  aud  Eaton  to 
the  following  clause  in  the  contract  made  with  me  by 
the  CHiarter  Oak  Life  Insurance  Company  after  they 
were  installed  in  its  man«gement,  and  remind  them 
most  forcibly  that  they  are  unfit  to  <Iischarge  the  du- 
ties incumbent  upon  them  if  they  fail  for  anotherday 
to  t&ke  the  necessary  1(^1  steps  agaln.*it  me  to  recot-er 
the  whole  or  any  part  f.f  the  $1,000,000  alleged 
to  have  been  stolen,  provided  there  is  a  particle  of 
evidence  to  show  thst  I  have  stolen  or  misappro- 
priated a  single  dollar  of  the  funds  of  the  company. 
Tlie  clause  to  which  I  refer  is  as  follows,  and  w^s  in-

After  my  connection  with  the  company  ceased,  and 
the  present  Board  of  Directors  had  bee^n  elected,  and 
before  this  contract  was  signed,  a  committee  of  the 
new  Directors  were  appoint^  to  examine  my

suc^h  examination  this  indebtedness  of  the  Connecti- 
cut Valley  Kairuad  t'nmpauy,  together  vriiii  the 
socurilie:;  nrTMmp.inyinz  the  same,  wjifi  nasigued  to 
me  by  vote  of  the  new  Board  of  Directors  of  tho 
Charter  Ouk  Life  Insurance  Company.  I  might 
claim  that  this  is  a  formal  settlement  of  my  account ; 
still  I  am  disposed  to  holdlo  no  legal  technicalities, 
and.  as  above  stated.  I  now  call  upon  the  present 
managers,  who  have  bt^en  in  charge  of  its  affairs  for 
nearly  three  weeks,  and  who  certainly  have  had  as 
good  an  opportunity  to  discover  whether  or  not  I 
have  stolen  .'Jl.OtMI.'OOO  or  any  other  sum  as  3Ir. 
Sherwood  could  have  had  in  his  brief  visit  to  the 
ofdce  of  the  company,  and  if  they  find  lliat  I  have  re- 
ceived $1  that  has  not  been  pr<iper]y  accotinted  for, 
I  hold  myselt' ready  to  make  the  same^od.  regard-

A  TBAPPERS  QUEER  LETTER. 

The  Chicago  InUr-Oeean  prints  the  foUoving 
letter,  dated  Longhton.  Mich.,  Aug.  4,  1877: 

In  looking  over  one  of  your  old  ntimbers,  I  saw 
where  it  makes  mention  of  Prof.  Donaldson  being 
lost  in  the  pineries  of  ^lichlgan.  I  was  on  the  sotith 
branch  of  the  Big  Slanistee  River,  some  -40  miles  east 
of  the  lake,  soon  after  he  made  the  ascension  that 
this  paper  speaks  of,  looking  for  trapplng-gronnds.  I 
found  a  piece  of  white  ash  about  five  feet  long,  fivo 
feet  of  Ime  attached  to  it.  with  canvaa  ropes  on  to  it^ 
the  same  as  ship's  sails,  and  made  fast  to  the  rope*, 
and  some  other  Eind  of  goods  m.ide  fast  to  thM.  I 
don't  know  what  it  was.  A  short  way  from  that  I 
fotind  a  corpse  lying  face  down,  no  coat  or  boots  on  ; 
underahirt.  I  think,  was  silk,  and  had  been  torn  open 
from  the  shoulder  down  to  the  wai5tbanda  of  panta- 
loons. He  was  so  badly  swollen  that  I  did  not  touoh 
him.  I  supposed  he  had  been  murdered  bv  the  In- 
dians. There  was  near  by  an  envelope  mailed  at  De- 
troit, Mich.,  to  some  one  at  Chicsgo.  could  not  maks 
out  name,  with  some  figures  on  it.  sun's  altitnd*  and

The  iieeond  yolnme  of  this  illostrated 
Weeklj  magaiijie  of  «rt  is  now  ready.  It  forms 
>  largo  folio  of  324  poises,  interapersad  with 
nprodostioiu  of  paintings,  statnss,  drawings, 
atehlngs,  and  pencil  sketchaa  in  the  admirable 
VMumsr  which  chancter^^lfts^e  finest  publish-' 
taC-hooMS  of  Paris.  Ai^gi^  contents  the 
nuet  timaly  articles  of  news  a^'  sketohes  of 
•em*  of  the  most  remarkable  pictures  exhib- 
ited in  the  Sdion  of  this  year.  Edmond  Ton 
baa  contributed  a  drawing  of  his  landscape  of 
Le  Bas-de-VilUers,  and  Largeval  has  engraved 
ttforX'.drt.  ApaintingbyCBemier  of  woods 
•ad  wood-euttera  in  the  forest  of  Quimerch,  has 
been  engravfld  by  Qreni,  and  one  of  Karl  Bod- 
mat's  farorite  pietores-etatags  in  a  foggy  wood 
has  had  the  saue  honor.  A  portrait  of  the  old 
woman,  Lisette,  who  lived  with  B^ianger,  has 
been  cut  for  this  publication  by  the  painter  of 
the  original,  J.  L.  CharbonneL    We  find,  also, 

the    portrait   of  Mme.     ,   by   Chaplin, 

which  has  received  so  mnoh  attention  from  art 
eritics  of  the  present  Saton.  Then  there  are 
aome  interesting  points  brought  out  concerning 
J.  L.  Laurens,  the  painter  of  the  large  picture 
of  Qen.  Marceau  lying  in  state  and  being  vis- 
ited by  ofBcera  of  the  Austrian  Army.  A 
sketch  for  one  of  the  figures  near  the  dead 
I^nchman's  bier  is  given,  and  better  stiU,  an 
admirable  engraving  of  the  head  of  the  artist 
painted  by  himself.  The  general  effect  is  very 
similar  to  the  well-known  portrait  of  Michael 
Angelo.  Detaille's  new  picture  "Salut  aus 
Blesa^  "  is  here,  reproduced  from  a  drawing  by 
St.  Elme  Gautier.  A  French  General  and  his 
staff  raise  their  caps  to  a  procession  of /wonnded 
Germans  escorted  by  French  troops.  /Then  we 
have  a  beautiful  engraving:  by  Lalange  of  one 
of  those  Spanish  pictures  of  fine  ladles  bnd  gen- 
tlemen In  a  magnificent  drawing-roont_Jt  is 
called  "Les  Cadeaox  de  Noce,"  and  the  painter 
Is  Gonzalez.  "Les  Falalses  de  Dieppe,"  by 
GuiUemet  must  be  a  striking  marine. if  it  is  as 
Kood  in  colors  as  the  engraving  given  by  L'Art. 
Bonner's  picture  of  the  head  of  St.  John  on  the 
charger,  and  drawings  of  Gustavo  DorS's  statue 
of  Ijove  between  the  knees  of  one  of  the  Fates, 
aia  also  of  the  number.  The  Royal  Academy  of 
London  has  not  been  neglected.  A  picture  by 
Orchardson  is  given,  admirably  engraved.  It 
represents  a  dance  like  the  Virginia  reel,  the 
men  facing  each  other  with  swurds  drawn  and 
crossed  overhead,  while  the  women  pass  between 
them,  underneath  the  swords.  The  picture  is 
called  "  The  Queen  of  the  Swords."  F.  Leigh- 
ton'a  statue  of  an  athlete  strangling  a  python 
make  is  represented,  and  a  number  of  sketches 
In  charcoal  and  red  chalk  by  Legros,  the  French 
artist  in  exile  in  London,  are  introduced  t'om 
the  exhibition  of  the  new  Grosveuor  Gallery  in 
that  city.  There  are  many  series  and  shorter 
artialea  scattered  through  the  volume.  One  of 
the  longer  series  is  that  on  Goya,  a  Spanish 
painter  and  etcher  of  the  last  and  this  century. 
The  frontispiece  gives  his  portrait  painted  by 
hlmwlf,  recently  in  the  collection  of  Mrs.  A  B. 
Blodgett  A  number  of  extraordinary  etehlncs 
by  Goya  IHustrata  the  text ;  they  are  fantastio 
and  harsh,  and  almost  impossible  to  understand. 
The  essayist,  Charles  Triarte,  denies  that  they 
are  aatlres  on  the  Spanish  royal  family  which 
patronized  Goya. 

A  DAT  OF  ITT  LIFE:  OR,  FTERT-DAT  ETPERI- 
EICIS  AT  ETON.  By  APresent  Eton  Boy.  Now- 
Tozk :  Qiosaa  B.  Lockwood.    1877. 

ka  the  author  of  this  little  book  makes  a 
boast  of  relating  only  actualitiea,  such  every- 
day incidents  as  occur  to  Eton  boys  generally 
during  tlieir  stay  at  the  famous  preparatory 
school,  no  very  thrilling  adventures  are  to  be 
expected..  The  course  of  events  throughout  the 
day  are  very  much  what  might  be  expected  in  a 
large  school  that  partakes  of  the  character  of  an 
American  college,  without  the  same  freedom  in 
the  student  which  is  allowed  in  our  larger  col- 
lages. Beginning  in  the  early  morning  with 
the  advent  of  the  woman  who  builds  his  fire, 
the  Eton  Boy  takes  the  reader  through  his 
bonriy  experiences  with  masters,  tutors,  and 
schoolmates,  not  without  many  episodes  more 
or  less  burlesque  and  strictly  in  the  vein  of 
school  jokes  and  escapades.  The  interest  such 
a. book  possesses  here  is  only  to  be  measured 
by  the  possibility  of  comparing  from  its  pages 
the  inner  working  of  Eton  and  Eogby  with  a 
college  of  the  American  tvpe.  Fagging,  for  in- 
stance, is  an  institution  about  which  much  has 
bean  written  and  said.  We  have  here  what 
purports  to  be  a  monologue  on  the  fag  of  an 
Kton  boy,  delivered  in  connection  with  other 
familiar  scenes  : 

"  Ah  !  here's  my  ttg.  He  wants  to  ^ow  M  I  want 
Mm  this  momtng.  What  a  qosstion  I  '■■.  He  aaks  this 
SvsiT  mominz,  and  as  I  want  him  every  morning,  1 
ihomd  think  he  might  give  It  up  soon  ;  one  would 
tfatok  bi«akfast-f«^iig  woj  a  new  tnTention  froia  the 
razprlJe  he  always  evinces  when  I  tell  him  of  coarse  I 
wast  him.  My  fax  Is  a  study  altogether.  Hartng 
bad  vaiions  sort  of  fags,  I  thoogbt  I  should  lilta  to 
tryand  train  up  the  raw  jnAteiial,  as  1  found  fags  aj 
a  rale  after  their  first  half  began  to  get  rather 
too  sharp;  so  I  went  and  asked  the  Cap- 
taitt  to  give  me  a  new  fellow,  and  he 
certainly  has  selected  about  the  rawest  material 
h»  eooM  find.  He  is  incapable  of  anythlne.  He 
can't  even  make  tea,  for  if  be  Isn't  carnally  looked 
after  he  makes  it  with  tepid  or  cold  water,  or  else  ho 
toifet*  to  put  the  tea  in.  •  r  '  Ho  is  rather  big. 
gn  than  I  am,  but  I  ua  sure  ho  stands  in  great  terror 
of  my  eye,  and  he  is  very  nervous,  becaoso  when- 
ever I  look  at  him  or  reprove  him  he  looks  sadly  and 
repzoachfnlly  at  me,  and  looks  as  If  he  was  going  to 
hKf  a  fit  or  burst  into  tears,  so  that  I  begin  tofeel 
frightened  and  inclined  to  fall  down  on  my  knees  and 
aav,  '  Oh,  dont  cry, '  or  'don't  have  a  fit,  please  don't; 
nl  bear  anytbing.  even  tea  made  with  cold  water,  or 
anything  yon  like,  only  please  don't  cry.'  " 

Among  the  Eton  slang  is  the  good  old  Yankee 
word  "  to  rile,"  and  another  word  of  the  same 
meaning  in  the  expression  "  to  get  in  a  rise*' 
OTor  something  vexations.  Some  of  the  horse 
play  will  be  found  as  amusing  as  sui^  reminis- 
fencM  usually  are.

by  Mrs.  Mark  Pattison  ;  "  The  Relation  of  the  Eng- 
lish People  to  the  War,"  by  Dr.  Edward  A  Freeman, 
and  numerous  short  essays  and  notices. 

— The  Eraminer  pays,  apropos  of  Julian  Haw- 
thorne's Gartii :  "  We  have  to  thank  Mr.  Haw- 
thorne for  having,  at  a  time  when  any  kind  of  work, 
the  flimsiest  and  Oiost  unfinished,  seems  to  be  tiionght  • 
good  enough  to  go  to  the  making  up  of  a  novel,  added 
one  more  to  the  not  too  large  list  of  writers  who  la- 
bor to  produce  a  thoughtful  and  thoronghly  artistic 
work — one  that,  while  alw.\ys  remaining  a  novel, 
and  never  invading  the  domains  of  the  phllosoplilcal 
treatise,  is  worthy  of  careful  study  and  earnest  criti- 
cism. Sir.  Hawthorne  is  not  without  faults,  but 
his  merits  are  many  and  striking,  and  it  may  be  safe- 
ly said  that,  if  he  will  but  take  the  trouble,  he  can 
make  the  one  disappear  as  stirely  as  he  can  heighten 
and  cultivate  the  other." 

— If  Prof.  Henry  Morley  goes  on  as  he  has  be- 
gun in  the  introductory  paper  on  "  Recent  litera- 
ture,"  in  the  August  number  of  the  Nineteenth  Cen- 
tury, the  eyes  of  all  readers  will  be  dlreeted  to  bis  de- 
partment. He  annonnce-s  tliat  his  purpose  will  be 
"to  find  how  some  of  oar  best  books  stand  related  to 
the  living  energies  of  our  own  time,  as  well  as  to  col- 
lect shorter  notes  upon  books  that  are  worth  atten- 
tion." His  present  contribution  is  the  tracin(c<5f  the 
spirit  of  the  a^  from  its  beginning  in  the  French 
Revolution,  "as  a  central  line  of  energy  working  in  a 
definite  direction  within  all  intellectual  work,"  down 
to  the  the  distinctive  characteristics  of  contemporary 
authors.  It  Is  notable  for  iu  clear  line  of  thought, 
for  the  freshness  of  ita  criticism,  and  for  its  bold  and 
strong  grasp  of  an  author's  main  purpose  and  point.

V«VAT,  Ind.,  Aug.  12. 

On  the  17th  of  July  another  was  added  to 
\he  mt^iy  crimes  for  which  the  Commonwealth  of 
Kentucky  must  answer.  The  victim  was  an  Innocent 
young  glri  of  10  years.  Three  t>ersons  have  been  ar- 
rested on  suspicion  that  they  are  the  guilty  parties. 
The  facts,  as  your  correspondent  hns  been  able  to 
gather  them,  are  these:  VTllliam  Anderson  owned 
and  lived  upon  a  small  piece  of  land  at  Worthvlllo, 
in  Carroll  County,  Ky..  about  seven  miles  from  Car- 
n>lltou,  the  county  seat.  H<?  had  given  a  mortgage 
on  the  property  to  Theodore  Bates,  who 
foreclosed,  and  the  property  wa.<t  sold  by  a 
Master  Commissioner,  Jonoph  Myrick.  Sheriff 
of  the  county,  beroraiug  the  purchaser.  Myrick  ob- 
tained a  vrrit  of  pos.wssion  and  dl-sposseFsed  Ander- 
son, who  moved  Into  another  house  within  50  yards 
of  the  one  he  vacated.  Within  10  days  after  Sli-rick 
cot  posses-sionof  the  house  it  was  burned,  by  whom 
is  not  known.  It  is  nupposed  that  Mj-riek  Relieved 
the  house  was  burned  by  Anderson,  or  sorao  member 
of  his  family.  A^ter  the  burning  of  the  hoa.ie.  a 
notice  was  posted  In  Worthville,  informing  Anderson 
that  he  must  leave  Carroll  ('ounty,  and  threateuint* 
f  nffeance  if  he  did  not.  The  notice  was  signed 
•  Citizens  of  Carroll  County."  This  notlca  was 
brought  to  the  attention  of  Anderson,  and  was  fol- 
lowed byoue  from  him.  giving  notice  that  he  wa.-? 
not  to  he  intimidated  by  the  "  Citizens  of  Carroll 
<  'ounty,"  and  they  could  come  o&  when  they  pleased, 
as  he  was  prepared  for  them. 

Within  a  few  days  after  this,  on  the  17th  of  .Tuly. 
the  house  of  Mr.  Anderson  was  visited  >t  2  o'clock 
in  the  lOominK  by  a  party  of  artbed  men.  A  son-in- 
law  of  Anderson  being  sick  and  wakeful,  heard  a 
uoine,  and  called  to  Miss  Carrie  Anderson  to  wake 
her  father  and  brothers — there  was  some  one  about  tlie 
house.  She  got  up  and  waked  the  family,  and  while 
they  were  gettinc  np  she  opened  the  door.  Four 
shota  were  flred  at  her  oy  the  villains  outside,  andsbe 
fell  mortally  wounded  and  died  wltWn  a  few  hours. 
Immediately  after  the  shnt.i  were  fired  the  clatter  of 
horses'  hoofs  was  heard  on  the  road,  but  none  were 
Been.  On  going  out  they  found  that  the  house  was 
on  Are.  It  had  been  fired  by  means  of  a  ball  of  can- 
dle-wick saturated  with  coal-oU  or  turpentijie,  being 
placed  under  the  weather-hoanlin^  and  a  match  ap- 
plied. The  fire  had  gained  but  fittle  headway,  and 
was  easily  qneuched. 

The  young  lady  who  was  so  foully  murdered  had 
lived  a  blameless  life,  giving  oifensa  to  none.  The 
Governor  of  the  State  offered  a  reward  of  $500  for 
the  aTiprehension  of  the  murderers.  This  was  in- 
creaBsd  to  $1,000  by  private  subscription  of  some  of 
th*'  good  cltliens  of  the  county.  On  Friday  a  war- 
rant was  Issued  for  the  arrest  of  Joseph  Myiick,  the 
Siieriif  of  the  county,  his  brother-fn-law,  Charles 
Gardner,  and  James  Suleuger.  Constable  William 
Hawkins  arrested  Myrick  and  Gardner  imjnedlately, 
and  took  them  before  Judge  Fisher,  of  the  Quarteriv 
Court.  The  trial  wafl  postponed  until  Tuesday,  Aug. 
14.  at  2  o'clock.  Sulenger  gave  himself  up  oa  Sat- 
urday. The  prisoners  were  placed  In  chonfe  of  Con- 
stable  Hawkins  and  ordered  to  be  kept  onder  guard. 
They  were  not  confined  in  iail.  Sulenser  Is  an  ex- 
Sheriff  of  the  county,  havlug  sewed  four  years. 
Myrfck  is  the  present  Sheriff,  and  Is  now  serving  his 
second  term  of  two  years.  Tho  accused  aro  all  men 
of  moderate  means,  and  respectable.  Myrick  is  a 
dangerous  nian,  always  ready  to  draw  bis  pistol  at 
the  slightest  provocation.  The  commission  of  the 
crime  has  no  political  sismiflcance.  All  of  the  par- 
ties are  Democrats.  The  Kuklux  plan  of  giving  no- 
tice was  adopted — nothing  more. 

Mr.  Anderson,  who  has  suffered  bo  terribly  bv  the 
crime,  stood  high  in  Carroll  County  10  years* ago. 
Since  then  he  nas  met,  with  mififortnues.  and  his 
proper^,  of  which  be  owned. considerable,  has  been 
taken  nrom  him.  The  sale  .under  which  Myrick 
bought  took  from  him  and  his  ilamiiy  their  home,  and 
left  them  la  poverty.  He  and  his  sons  have  been 
somewh&t  dissipated,  but  no  crime  has  been  charged 
against  them^.  They  have  never  t>een  reinrdcMi  as 
guarrelsome  or  dangerous.  The  daughter  who  was 
killed  has  left  an  enviable  name.  No  one  haa .  aught 
to  Ktf  i^aizut  her. 

THE  HATED  ORAyOE. 
The  Montreal  Witjiess  of  Monday  says  :  "  Our 
worthy  Mayor  has  not  got  over  his  attack  of  Orange- 
phobia.  Yesterday  morning  he  received  in  exchange 
for  corrency  of  the  Dominion  a  number  of  City  Pas- 
senger Railway  tickots,  but  on  perceiving  that  they 
were  of  the  hated  orange  tint  he  fell  into  an  alarming 
rage,  much  to  the  surprise  of  those  about  hhoo.   ana 

after  calling  the  company  a  pack  of  ' Orange 

rascals,'  and  declaring  that  it  was  a  fresh  insnlt 
offered  to  tha  Boman  Catholics  of  Montreal,  asked 
why  thev  had  the  impudence  to  print  tickets  in 
orange.  Being  referred  to  the  Preslaent  of  the  com- 
Mkuy  up  stairs,  that  obliging  goutloman  informed  his 
Worship  that  no  insnlt  was  fiitended  to  himself  or 
his  co-religionists  by  tlie  orango-colored  tickets,  they 
having  been  printed  indiscriminately  iu  various 
colors.  His  Worship  then  condescended  to  take 
bine  tickets  in  place  of  the  yellow  ones,  after  which 
be  made  his  exit  in  a  most  dignified  manner.  It  is 
stated  that  the  President  after  this  little  episode  im- 
mediately destroyed  about  20,000  of  the  wrath- 
provokix^  tickets.^'

THE  TRANSACTION  BETWEEN  AN  EAST-SIDE 
ME^eHANT  AND  HIS  PATRON— ACCUSED 
OP  FLEECING  THE  LATTER  OP  MONEY— 
JUSTICE  KILBRETH'S  OPINION. 
Some  suggestive  feattires  were  presented  in  the 
eomplaint  of  Ellen  GiJlighan,  a  storekeeper,  -against 
one  of  the  firm  of  Nathan  &  H.  Morgenroth,  dealers  in 
gentlemen's  fami|ldng  goods,  cf  No.  217  Avenue  A, 
made  before  Justice  KUbreth,  at  the  Essex  Market  Po- 
lice Court,  yestsrday.  It  appears  from  Ellen's  state- 
ment that  on  Wednesday  last  she  visited  the  store  of 
tha  defendant  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  a  slxirt 
and  a  necktie.  The  articles  amounted  to  70  cents, 
and  Ellen  handed  the  defendant  a  $2  bill  in 
payment.  This,  according  to  her  version, 
he  placed  in  the  money-till,  and  said  that 
he  had  not  change  for  it.  She  thereupon  took  a  50- 
cent  pie<*8  from  her  pocket,  and  said  that  she  had 
enough  for  the  sliirt,  and  that  be  might  keep  the 
necktie  and  she  would  get  it  another  time.  He  took 
the  additional  money  and  the  ne".k-tie,  but  did  ': 
manifest  any  disposition  to  return  her  the  bill.  ...  *- 
nally,  seeing  her  waiting,  he  asked  her  ' '  what  she 
was  doing  there,"  and  upon  her  explaining  that  she 
was  waiting  for  the  $2  bill,  he  said  excitedly  that  he 
had  returned  it  to  her.  She  insisted  tliat  he  had  not, 
however,  and  offered  to  be  searched  in  order 
to  settle  the  matter.  He  grew  angry  at  this, 
and  told  her  to  "clear  out,"  which  she  refused 
to  do,  saying  that  if  she  left  the  store  he  would  claim 
that  she  had  lost  the  money  in  the  street,  and  ended 
by  declaring  that  she  would  wait  until  the  "  boss  " 
came  in,  not  knowing  that  the  defendant  was  one  of 
the  proprietors  of  the  store.  An  officer  was  called,  in 
the  meantime,  and  upon  his  arrival  Ellen  conversed 
with  him  and  with  the  defendant,  but  being  unable 
to  make  a  settlement  finally  said  that  she  would 
have  to  take  the  m-itter  to  eoiirt  and  settle  it  there. 
She  asked  the  defendant  to  look  in  tlie  drawer  and 
see  If  the  mdney  was  there,  but  he  refused.  Before 
goin^  to  court  yesterday  she  called  ogniu 
upon  the  defendant  and  asked  him  kindly 
to  look  in  the  drawer,  as  it  was  possible  that  he  bed 
made  a  mistake  about  tbe  bill  not  being  there, 
adding  that  she  didn't  want  to  go  to  court  if  such  a 
step  conld  be  avoided.  The  defendant  again  re- 
fused abruptly  to  do  as  she  requested,  and  she  there- 
upon had  a  summons  issued  agabist  him. 

Morgenroth,  upon  appearing  iu  court,  was 
represented .  by  two  attorneys,  one  of  whom 
appeared  for  him  in  the  momius.  the  otlier 
taking  charge  of  his  case  in  tbe  after- 
noon. He  strove  desperately  to  impeach  the 
cliat-acter  of  the  complamant.  He  asserted,  throwjrh 
his  counsel,  (in  both  cases  being  obliged  to  take  bnck 
the  charges./  that  the  officer  had  told  him 
that  he  (the  officer)  would  not  believe  Ellen 
on  her  oath,  as  she  was  an  "  old 
r«)under, "  and  also  stated  that  she  had  not  mad>^  an 
offer  to  be  searched.  Both  these  statements  were 
contradicted  by  the  officer  in  question.  Morgenroth 
further  charged  that  after  receiving:  the  50-pent 
piece  from  Ellen  for  the  shirt,  he  had  demanded  tlie 
I'etum  of  the  necktie,  and  she  told  him  she  did  not 
have  it,  whereupon  he  reached  down  and  took  it  from 
her  basket.  It  nnving  been  proved  that  she  had  no 
basket.  Morgenroth  said,  "Well,  it  mlijht  have  been 
concealed  about  her  dress,"  an  a-ssertion  that  Ellen' 
quietly  denied.  He  also  said  that  be  had  told  her, 
when  she  had  aeked  for  her  money,  that  "he  had 
been  cheated  too  often  in  that  way,  and  she  coulilnt 
corae  that  came  on  him." 

After  hearing  this  testimony.  Justice  Kil- 
breth  pave  it  as  his  unreserved  opinion 
that  Morgenroth  had  Ellen's  ni<«uey.  and  should 
give  it  up.  bnt  added  that,  iu  the  absence  of 
positive  proof,  he  was  unable  to  do  anylMnc  in  the 
matter.  Morgenroth  was  advised  bv  his  counsel  that 
If  he  thought  he  had  the  money  he  had  bftter  return 
it,  ORit  wonldinjure  his  business  if  he  did  not.  He 
replied,  however,  in  a  selfish  manner,  that  he  "  didn't 
want  to  give  away  money  to  people  whom  it  didn't 
belong  to,"  and  walked  ont  of  court. 

THE  LIBEL  AGAIXST  THE  ItEXMAEK. 

SPECIFICATION  OF  THE  CHARGES  FILED 
BY  UNITED  STATES  DISTRICT  ATTORNEY 
WOODFORD — SEIZTTRE  OP  THE  VESSEL — 
BOXDS   TO   BE    GIVEN   TO-DAY. 

United  States  District  Attorney  "SVoodford 
filed  yesterday  in  the  I'nited  States  District  Court, 
in  the  usual  form,  a  libol  against  the  steamer  Den- 
mark, of  the  National  Line,  in  order  to  secure  licr 
condemnation  on  account  of  the  allecod  smu{;gUu^ 
operations  carried  ou  by  certain  of  tho  officers  and 
employes  of  the  company  in  the  interest  of  the 
pilk  smuggling  Ring.  The  libel  has  seven  specifica- 
tions, all  being  wordedin  the  same  form,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  tho  dates,  tho  character  of  the  goods. 
and  tho  amounts  of  their  value.  Tho  first  specifica- 
tion recites  that  Robert  P.  Williams,  the  Master  of 
the  vessel,  brought  into  tliis  port  oa  the  '^Ist  of 
August,  1874,  laces  of  the  value  of  $1,066.  which 
were  not  entered  on  the  vessel's  ma.nifest ;  and  that 
for  this  the  Master  became  liable  to  a  pen- 
alty equal  in  amount  to  the  value  of  tho 
goods :  that  the  laces  were  unladen  without  a  permit, 
and  that  for  this,  the  blaster  bet-ame  subject  to  a 
penalty  of  $4.00.  and  the  vessel  became  Ihibfe  u>  for- 
feiture. The  other  specifications  charge  consecu- 
tively in  the  same  lanffuage:  That  on  Oct.  6. 
IBT'i.  silks  and  laces  of  the  value  of  .$5,300  were 
brought  into  this  port- on  the  vessel:  on  Jan.  13, 
lM75.1a«'e3ofthevahieof*2.40(t:  on  March  1.1875. 
silks  uf  the  value  of  ."^'J.SOO;  on  May  11,  1875.  silks 
and  lace.s  of  the  value  «>f  $6,o60 :  on  Jan.  i>. 
1S77.  laces  valued  at  $3.;iOO  :  and  on  June  '23.  1877, 
Bilks  valued  at  $6,600,  making  a  total  of  $18,666 
worth  of  silks  and  laces  thus  smusgled.  The  libel. 
iu  continuation,  asks  for  the  condemnation  and  sale 
of  the  vessel,  and  distribution  of  the  proceeds  as 
provided  by  law.  The  process  against  the  vessel  bus 
Deen  made  returnable  on  the  -ith  prox.  before  Judge 
Blatchford. 

The  Denmark  was  to  have  sailed  from  Pier  No.  51, 
North  River,  at  9  o'clock  yesterday  morning,  but  she 
was  seize*!  ju.'it  before  the  hour  of  sailing  by  United 
Stated  Deputy  Marshal  Dowley,  under  a  munition  is- 
sued out  of  the  United  States  District  Court  to 
United  States  Slarshal  Payn,  iu  virtue  of  the  Ubel 
which  liad  been  filed  by  UnltedStates  District  Attomev 
Woodford.  Of  course,  the  seizure  caused  great  an- 
novance  to  the  passengers  who  were  about  to  depart 
in  her,  but  Mr.  Hurst,  the  agent  of  the  line,  prom- 
ised to  make  such  arrausrements  for  their  departure 
as  would  cause  little  delay.  He  and  Mr.  John  Chet- 
wood,  the  counsel  for  the  company,  went  to  the 
United  States  District  Attorney's  office  and  had ,-» 
conference  with  District  Attorney  Woodford,  the  re- 
sult of  which  was  that  the  vessel  would  be  bonded 
and  allowed  to  depart,  so  soon  as  she  could  be  ap- 
praised. This,  of  course,  would  take  some  Utile 
time,  but  District  Attorney  Woodford  expressed  his 
desire  to  have  the  matter  expedited  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible. Hesjiidhehnd  in  view  the  convenience  of 
the  passengers  and  the  general  interests  of  commerce, 
and  he  should  interpose  no  technical  objections  to 
the  prompt  appraisal  and  discharge  of  the  vesseL 
All  that  the  Government  required  was  full  and  relia- 
ble security  for  its  claims,  and  as  soon  as  this  was 
given  the  vessel  would  be  released.  Gen.  Woodford 
also  expressed  his  willingness  to  accept  appraisers 
presented  by  the  comp.iny,  and  as  soon  as  they  have 
estimated  toe  value  of  the  vessel  the  bond  will  be 
made  out  and  the  Denmark  be  allowed  to  depart, 
and  it  was  thought,  late  yesterday  afternoon,  that  all 
the  formalities  would  be  concluded  in  time  for  the 
Denmark  to  leave  to-day, 

A  BUnOLAR  AD2fITS  SIS  GUILT. 
John  Scullion,  who  claims  to  be  a  junkman, 
and  to  reside  at  No.  419  West  Pifty-siith-street,  was 
before  Justice  Flammer  in  the  Fifty-serenth-Street 
Police  Court,  yesterday,  on  a  charge  of  burglary. 
Roundsman  Walsh,  of  the  Twenty-second  Precinct, 
noticed  him  hanging  about  the  saloon  of  JohnBrosen, 
No.  401  West  Fifty-slzth-street,  in  a  suspicious  man- 
ner, at  2  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and  took  him  into 
custody  on  the  strength  of  his  general  bad  reputa- 
tion. Upon  being  searched,  a  quantity  of  cigars 
and  tobacco  was  found  upon  him  that  evidently  did 
not  belong  to  him,  and  further  investigation  resulted 
in  the  discovery  that  Brosen's  place  had  been  broken 
into,  and  robbed  of  the  goods  found  in  Scullion's  pos- 
session, and  of  other  property  that  he  had  hidden  be- 
ne-ath  the  window  on  the  outside  until  he  could

At  the  station-hotise  the  prisoner  was  eeai^hed 
ogain,  and  several  coins  were  found  in  his  pockets 
that  had  been  taken  from  Brosen's  till.  He  admitted 
his  guilt  when  arrai^ed  iu  court,  and  was  committed 
for  trial  without  bail.  A  plasterer  named  Michael 
Moore,  oLNo.  426  West  Forty-first-street,  was  ar- 
rested on^spicion  of  being  implicated  in  the  bur- 
glary, and  Officer  Buck  and  Mr.  Brosen  swore  that 
they  overheard  a  conversation  between  him  and 
Sctulion,  in  which  he  said  that  his  connection  could 
not  be  proved  unless  he  [Scullion]  "  gave  him  away," 
SculHon  promising  in  reply  not  to  say  anything  abont 
him.  Moore  deniM  having  held  any  such  conversation 
with  Scullion  as  the  one  alleged,  and  claimed  that  he

Judge  Larremore,  in  Chambers  of  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas,  yesterday  rendered  a  declsi  on  in 
the  case  of  Thomas  F.  Eagan  against  Hu^  H. 
Moore,  Michael  Tuomey,  and  William  Joyce.  The 
suit  was  brought  to  recover  $1,770  and  interest 
for  the  printing,  distributing,  &c,  of  political  posters 
and  tickets  advertising  the  candidacy  of  the  defend- 
ants for  Aldermen  in  1874.  The  orders  for  the  dif- 
ferent itons  of  work  were  given  by  Moore  personal- 
ly, but  when  the  bill  was  presented  to  the  others 
they  claimed  that  Moore  had  exceeded  hiy  authority 
in  the  amount  of  work  to  be  done,  and  they,  there- 
fore, refused  to  pay  their  share  of  tha  bill.  Moore, 
thoogh  perfectly  willing  to  pay  his  own  share,  re- 
fused to  pay  any  mora.  Process  was  issued  against 
all  the  defendants.  During  the  pendency  of  the 
suit,  the  defendants,  Tnomey  and  Joyce,  settled  the 
claim  aeaintt  them  for  $600,  which  was  leu  than 
their  share.  On  July  11,  1877.  judgment  was  en-

A  J/.1.V  OF  FAMILY. 
A  young  and  pretty  Dominican  nun,  clad  in 
the  vestmeutti  of  the  sisterhood,  aad  accompanied  by 
an  aged  lady  ond  a  little  girl  named  Mary  Healey, 
came  into  Supremo  •Court,  Chambers,  yesterday 
moruLEg,  in  answer  to  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus  taken 
out  by  John  Healey,  the  father  of  the  little  girl. 
Healey,  who  is  a  laborer,  then  came  trooping  into 
court  with  a  child  un  cither  arm  aud  a  third  olingiug 
to  his  coat-tails.  It  seems  that  his  wife  is  a  woman 
of  intemperate  habits,  and  while  on  oue  of  her  sprees 
— which  terminated  in  bet  enforced  residence  at  BLack- 
weli's  Island — ^took  her  daughter  Mary  to  the  In- 
stitution of  t!io  Dauiibters  of  St.  Dominic, 
in  East  Twouty-eighth-slreet.  A»  soon  as 
the  case  couid  he  heard,  William  F. 
Klntring,  who  appeared  for  Mr.  Healey,  asked 
Judge  Van  Brunt  for  au  order  restoring  the  child  to 
its  father's  custody.  He  said  he  understood  the  sis- 
ters had  some  objections.  At  this  the  nun  lianded 
up  a  paper  to  Judge  Van  Brunt.  The  latter,  after 
reading  it.  looked  once  or  twice  at  the  father  aud 
theu  at  the  little  girl,  who  was  neatly  attired  aud 
looked  clearly.  Mr.  Healey  noticing  the  Judge's 
glances,  and  fearing  that  they  boded  no  cood  to  his 
cause,  jumped  up  liastily,  exclaim injg,  "Judge.  1 
want  my  child  ;  she  is  mV  daughter  V  Judge  Van 
Brunt  said  lie  thouirht  tlie  child  was  very  well  off 
while  iu  chai^  of  the  nuns.  In  the  absence,  how- 
ever, of  clear  proof  as  to  the  father's  unfitness  to 
take  charge  of  the  giri.  he  had  no  alternative  except 
to  restore  her  to  her  father's  custody.  Un  hearing 
this  the  nun  bade  the  girl  farewell,  and  the  latter 
ran  to  her  father,  who  clasped  her  iu  his  arms  and 
kissed  her  in  rather  a  boisterous  manner.  Aiter  tbis 
performance  he  trudged  contentedly  out  of  the  court- 
room, carrying  his  two  youngest  children  on  his  aims 
and  being  followed  by  the  other  two.

From  the  London  Spectator,  Aw*/.  4. 
Let  no  man^  however  ambitions,  envy  tha 
Harqnls  of  Salisbury  his  official  poaition.  The  ap- 
pxoachmg  famine  in  Southern  India,  a  misfortune  to 
all  men,  andtd  the  aofforers  a  terrible  calamity,  is  to 
him  at  ouce  a  misfortune,  a  calamity,  and  a  cruel 
vexation.  It  involves,  in  addition  to  endless  direct 
and  horrible  consequences  to  the  people  affected,  tbe 
temporary  paralysis  of  progress  thronghopt  India. 
There  is  still  a  chance,  a  bore  chance,  that  a  catas- 
trophe'maybe  averted — tlie  raujs  suddenly  recom- 
mencing; but  this  is  Aug.  5,  no  such  occurrence  is 
withinordinary  experience,  and  we  mnst,  we  fear,  mn^iv 
np  our  minds  to  a  second  year  of  comparatively  total 
drought.  This  is  evidently  the  opiziion  of  the  Isd*.a2i 
Secretary  himself,  who  on  Sattirdny.  in  a  speech  as 
Cooper's  Hill,  prepared  the  younc  engineers  aad  tho

famine,  in  which  hundreds  oi  thousands  die  of  actnal

State  alone  is  rich,  and  tho  State  must  do  all  nndet 
conditions  which  may  well  niake  a  .Strcretary  of  State 
feel  as  if  he  conld  no  loijgcr  understand  what  hope 
was.  The  new  famine  district  is  not  a  province,  it  is 
a  continent.  The  villagi-;,  ar^  scftriereJ.  tiie  popula- 
tion thin,  the  peoult?.  as  i'rcf.  Monier  Williams  re- 
centlv  painted  them,  thgu^  industrious,  nnen- 
ergetlc.  Thei-e  is  n->t  one  proat  and  naviga- 
ble river.  There  is  i!ircu;.'hout  bi:t  one  railway, 
aud  in  districts  like  kingiio:iis  nw  railway  at  all. 
There  are  few  roads  worlby  of  liic  nnme.  As  Lord 
Salisbury  expressly  mentions,  food,  if  sent  to  the 
vilhiges,  must  be  sent  iu  carts  drawu,  by  osen,  wliich 
eat  nearly  all  they  carry,  and  cannot  under  any  ur- 
gency do'steadily  20  mli.;^  a  day.  and  even  that  ex- 
hausting aud  w.istf fuJ  device  is  probably  beyoud  the 
power  of  tliB  Gxtvvrunicut  to  adopt.  In  tli'.*  lam;uo- 
stricken  dislrii;t8  there  arc  no  cattle  left.  Their  loa- 
der perished  tr&X.  ami  t?ie  few  btji^t-i  still  left 
alive  are.  as  ilr.  Williams  dc--^cribt-d  ib';:n 
nionihs  ago,  far  too  wt?:ik  for  dmucht.  Tiie 
Goveniraei^  no  doubt,  could  "lend  down  ihoasanda 
of  the  l>eautiful  cattle  of  the  North,  beasis  that  would 
excite  the  pride  of  a  LoruOard  landlord  :  but  they 
cannot  live  ou  air.  they  can  barely  carry  their  own 
-  food — recollect  their  pace  aud  that  ibt-y  bave^  to  re- 
turn—And they  rannoT,  even  to  sr.ve  huni.in  life,  be 
used  as  food.  Even  tiie  dyiut:  wuuld  rij^e  in  insurrec- 
tion at  the  thouirhi  of  such  unholy  diet.  There  :s 
nothing  for  it  but  "  relief  cfUtn-s,'  n«d  relief  ceniios 
under  such  circumstaaces  imply  bursts  of  depopu- 
lating disease.  Let  any  toldier  aco:iaiTrt<"-d  with

iu  each — men,  women,  and  cliildreu — all  arriv. 
iug  half-fed,  aud  living  on  lialf -rations,  stationed  by 
streams  and  tanks  for  the  s.-ike  *>t  water,  scarctly 
housed,  and  living  amid  iropivKl  odors  and  niiatinns, 
and  he.  at  least,  will  recogu'.?.e  I'-Il  the  elements  of  ih« 
new  dibease  which  Hxst  struck  l.^rd  llustiiigs'  campj 
in  the  Pindarree  war.  and  h:is  ever  Eiuce  terriiied  tiie 
world  as  Asiatic  cholera.  The  prusperi  is  appallini:, 
but  if  the  second  year  of  famiity  faii^ — and  ly^rd 
Salisbury  believes  it  lo  1m.-  falliiic — there  is  no  remedy 
that  man  can  apply.  We  are  carefully  avoidinc  ex- 
aggeration when  we  say  it  is  not  o^ly  jK'Ssiblo.  it  is 
tmiuineiitlv  pryb.'ible,  that  the  j-t-^pulaiion  of  Soaih- 
em  India  will' this  year  be  ndwred  by'-l.OOU.OOO 
who  have  perished  of  huni*er  aiid  the  diseases  which 
hunger  lone  continued  leaves  Whind  it  iu  its  train. 

The  prospect  is  aj>p*lling,  and  the  responsibility  cA 
the  Secretarj' of  State  almost  loo  great  lo  bear.  li 
he  fought  the  famine  as  he  fought  it  in  Behar.  fought 
it  as  he  would  a  campaigu,  wiiii  no  thought  except 
for  victory,  scattering  money  as  if  it  were  seed.  h« 
might  succeed  in  avertiiig  liot  all.  but  a  great  psrt  of 
the  calamitv ;  but  he  would  spend,  on  a  moderate  es- 
timate, £150.000.000— that  is.  he  would  for  five 
years,  at  least,  paralyse  the  progress  of  the  Indiuu 
tjovemment.  It  would  be  absolutely  necessary  that, 
during  that  period,  nothiuir  but  the  barest  workof  ad- 
ministration should  be  altemuted.  that  public  works 
should  be  restrietedto  work*  of  maintenance,  thatedu- 
cation  should  be  forbidden  to  expand,  that  no  new 
department  should  be  crciitod.  that  no  new  tax  sh<mld 
be  levied,  that  any  and  ever>-  e.visting  abuse  which  it 
would  bo  costly  to  remove  should  be  ten:poTftri!y 
tolerated.  Every  £cr\-ice  must  be  pared  down  to  sul** 
elstence  limit,  every  pro;posal  xnvolviug  expen<« 
must  be  rejected,  and  the  Empire  must  be  governed 
like  an  estate  belonging  to  tax  owner  absent  ou  llio 
continent  to  retrench.  Ail  that  is  inevitable,  aud 
all  that  involves  hardship — not  to  the  Msdra&sees, 
who  may  fairly  bear  it  as  the  will  of  Heaven,  and 
who,  to 'do  them  scant  justice,  do  bear  it  w'.th  an  ac- 
quiescent resignation  that  'touches  those  who 
can  see  it  to  the  quick — bat  to  tbe  peoples  ol 
regions  as  prosjMirous  as  they  are  misenibie.  people 
who  deem  themselves  entirely  irresponsible,  and 
who,  but  for  the  British  rule,  would  only  show  their 
svmpathy  as  one  nation  of  Europe  sometimes  shows 
it  for  another.  Bengal,  ruling  itself,  would  oossii^Iy 
subscribe  ,£100.000  for  the  people  of  Madras. 
Under  British  rule,  it  will  have  to  subscribe  wttUo-t 
its  own  consent  the  Interest  of  the  loans  to  be  rai.-o  :. 
which  mav  amount,  if  the  work  is  cffectualiv  dune, 
to  £20,000,000.  ^Vhy  should  Bengal  thus  in.'  de- 
prived of  the  advantages  nature  aad  the  unrelaxin^ 
uidustry  of  its  60.000.000  people  havf'  secured  I'j 
it  I  We  do  not  wonder  that  under  such  circniasr.f.ift'S 
msnr  Anglo-Indians  maintain  that  the  neeu'ui  ox- 
penmture  ought  not  to  be  incurred,  tliai  tl-a 
calamity  should  be  end;:rod.  like  an  earthqu.-.ke,  or  a 
eea-wave,  or  an  outbtirst  of  cholera,  as  a  vi>:tati<  -n 
from  on  high,  under  winch  man  cau  only  mourn,  and 
that  the  British  Government  of  India  ought  lo  afilrn 
once  for  all  that  it  is  no  more,  respoubible  f  jr  t:.a 
crops  or  for  the  failure  than  It  woa  d  be  held  to  i/e 
if  the  consequences  of  that  failure  stopped  &iion  of 
acttud  death.  We  should  not  prevent  pf^uninry 
ruin,  they  argue,  or  the  siiresd  of  disease.  ::nd  w.iV 
interfere'  because  the  calamity  to-dav  sends  thou- 
sands,  millions,  to  a  premature  instead  of  lo  a  laT-rr 
grave !  The  attempt  is  too  great  for  man,  and  iu 
making  it  the  Government  mortgagee  the  ta- 
ture  of  unborn  millions  in  a  vain  eiTort  to  se- 
cure that  which  God  or  nature  has  i:e- 
creed  cannot  be  secured.  It  is  needitil,  they 
say,  to  be  as  hard  as  Providence  is,  and  stand  a*.''itf 
in  silent  pity  tmtil  the  calamity  be  overpast.  Wo 
are  not  blind  to  the  force  of  these  arguments,  arid 
on  one  point  we  recognize  their  truth-  The  Goveru- 
ment  would  have  no  righi  to  destroy  the  Indhin  Em- 
pire even  to  secure  the  physical  safety  of  a  portion 
of  its  inhabitaTils.  Its  responsibility  to  the  whol*-  nf 
its  subjects  is  greater  than  its  responsibility  to  ar:y 
section  of  them-  It  must  not  terTnin;:te  for- 
ever ita  power  of  mitigatinu  famines  by  a 
minous  effort  to  extinguish  one.  t'lt 
the  step  between  reasonable  effort  o  ud  se'f- 
doBtTuetJve  effort  is  a  lone  one,  and  tiU  ruir.  is  in 
sight,  at  least  in  the  far  distance,  the  effort  should  bo 
continued,  regardless  of  all  minor  consequences.  TIio 
Government  of  India  must,  we  hold,  strain  e^-ery 
nerve  to  keep  Its  people  alive — must,  th.it  is.  duri:;8 
the  time  of  (froupnt.  feed  them  with  sufficient  food  tc 
keep  them  in  reasonable  health.  If  food  &:-tually 
cannot  be  v^nt  to  the  village*;,  or  sent  only  at  au  ex- 
pense which  would  destroy  all  prospe*tts  of  fainre 
grauta  in  relief,  then,  of  course,  even  tiumaa  lifo 
mast  give  way  before  nece.ssity.  and  the  pt-ople 
must  perish  as  if  a  new  disease  had  broken  out.  That 
this  will  he  the  actual  result  in  thousands  of  vill.-.ir.rs 
we  see,  unhappily,  no  rt-ason  to  donlvt.  nnlesi 
the  unexpected  rain  should  f-iU.  But  s:rs.;ght  np  Xij 
the  uttermost  limits  of  its  power,  exert t?d  as  it 
would  be  exerted  to  feed  armies,  the  Govemmcrt  is 
bound  to  strain  itself  to  keop  its  people  alive.  Wl-.^r 
ever  it  costs,  the  State  must  do  its  b^st.  mnjit  mul'i- 
ply  relief  centres,  must  donnle  or  treble  relief  offi- 
cers, must  employ  native  assistance,  and  most  p'x-^h 
on  the  accumulation  of  food  by  facilitating  pnvat« 
enterprise,  if  possible,  and  if  tliat  is  not possiule.  by 
making  purchases  on  its  own  nccouat.  it  is  wiravy 
work,  hateful  work  to  men  who  know  how  j  rogrtss 
in  India  depends  on  the  condition  of  the  nnauces 
but  it  is  work  which  a  Christian  Govemmer*.t 
that  pleads  its  higher  morale  as  the  justificativn 
for  an  otherwise  inexcusabla  concnest  /•annct  richt-

do  in  this  crisis  whitt  private  menarccompeli^to  do

Judge  West  opened  the  Republican  eam- 
ps.ign  in  Ohio  la^t  night  by  a  sohiewhat  re- 
markable speech.  On  the  labor  question 
the  Republican  candidate  is  learaing  to  talk 
sanely.  He  has  grasped  the  idea  recently 
set  forth  in  these  columns  that  the  true 
adjustment  between  the  claims  of 
capital  and  labor  is  to  be  found  in 
giving  the  laborer  an  interest  in  the 
prosperity  of  'the  industrial  enter- 
prise to  whose  profits  he  ■  contributes. 
Judge  "West  calls  this  plan  "  a  graduated 
scale  of  compensation  conditioned  on  net 
earnings,"  and  he  repudiates  the  idea  that 
it  -would  vest  labor  with  any  propri- 
etJirv  rights  in  the  capital  employed, 
o:  that  it  could  be  enforced  by  com- 
■polsory  legislation.  It  must  be  ob- 
vious, however,  that  it  would  re- 
quire a  pre>'ious  understanding  as  to  the 
amount  of  capital  on  which  profits  had  to  be 
declared,  and  that  representatives  of  both 
capital  and  labor  must,  by  joint  consent,  be 
invested  with  powers  to  settle  all  questions 
relating  to  the  actual  income  which  is  to  be 
the  ultimate  wage-standard.  It  would, 
in  fact,  closely  resemble  the  system 
which  in  some  of  the  English  mining  dig. 
tritfts  has  created  permanent  Boards  of  Ar- 
bitration between  employers  and  employed 
t»  ith  the  most  satisfactory  results.  Its  ap- 
■plication  in  this  country  has  been,  as  yet,  on 
too  limited  a  scale  to  furnish  any  data  as  to 
its  general  adaptability  to  our  industrial  ne- 
cessities. 


In  his  references  to  financial  questions 
Judge  West  makes  at  least  an  approach 
to  sound  doctrine.  In  fact,  he  comes 
so  near  the  rationsd  theory  of  insist- 
ing tliat  the  Government  shall  with  all 
convenient  speed  retire  the  unemployed 
Burplus  of  its  demand  notes,  that  it  ia  sur- 
prising he  should  not  have  fairly  espoused 
it.  Me  tbinlr,<  the  present  system  of 
free  banking,  as  authorized  by  ex- 
isting laws,  "  the  best  ever  devised 
by  the  wit  of  man,"  and  he  takes  very  direct 
issue  against  the  platform  on  which  ho  was 
nominated  by  pointing  out  the  absurdity  of 
attemptingto  maintain  two  standard  metalLio 
dollars  differing  in  value.  Altogether,  the 
' '  iey-note  "  of  the  Ohio  campaign  has  a  most 
Ifjassuring  sound. 


What  civil  service  reform  means,  as  prac- 
ticed by  Tammany  Hall,  may  be  gathered 
from  certain  facts  regarding  Kelly's  latest 
appointees  presented  in  another  column. 
The  entire  batoh  are  quite  worthy  of  form- 
ing part  of  the  present  administration  of 
the  City  finances.  Like  their  official  head, 
they  belong  to  the  lowest  order  of  ward 
politicians,  and  the  level  of  their 
intelligence  and  fitness  for  transacting  the 
details  of  public  business  is  probably  on  a 
par  with  that  of  our  alleged  City  Controller. 
Tet  it  is  from  the  author  of  such  appointments 
that  the  people  of  New- York  are  asked  to 
look  for  the  blessings  of  good  government, 
because  he  is  the  accepted  autocrat  of  an 
organization  which  is  supported  by  the  igno- 
rance, the  vice,  and  the  superstition  of  the 
City,  and  is  therefore  supposed  t»  represent 
a  majority-of  the  Democratic  Pai^  of  New- 
York. 


Another  of  the  Ring  thieves — ^William  E. 
KiKQ,  who  was  Deputy  Commissioner  of 
Public  Works  imder  Tweed— has  been  re- 
lieved from  prosecution.  Some  fifteen  in- 
dictments wero  fonnd  against  Kino,  and, 
like  some  of  his  superiors,  he  has  discov- 
ered that  in  the  multitude  of  accusations 
there  is  safety.  It  reads  like  an- 
cient history  now  to  recall  the 
iact    that    there  .  was     once    a    Bureau. 


of  Manicipa]  Correction  whieh  had  at  ita 
head  the  names  of  eminent  lawyers,  and 
whose  declared  purpose  was  to  send  the 
members  of  the  Tammany  King  and  their 
accomplices  to  State  Prison.  The  eminent 
lawyers  have  dropped  out,  leaving  behind 
them  a  mass  of  very  instructive  legal  plead- 
ings— in  civil  and  criminal  eases — for 
the  benefit  of  posterity,  and  certain 
claims  for  necessary  expenses  for  the 
instruction  of  their  contemporaries.  We 
presume  that  the  Bureau  of  Municipal  Cor- 
rection has  ceased  to  exist  both  in  name  and 
in  fact,  but  its  place  has  evidently  been 
supplied  by  a  Bureau  of  Municipal  Com- 
po'unding,  of  whieh  Mr.  Wheeler  H.  Peck- 
HAM  seems  to  be  the  responsible  agent,  by 
whom  no  reasonable  offer  for  evading  the 
penalties  of  felony  is  ever  refused. 


Special  correspondence  of  The  Times 
from  Sistova,  printed  on  another  page,  gives 
some  new  and  interesting  points  about  the 
battle  of  Plevna.  Our  correspondent,  who  is 
disposed  to  estimate  lightly  the  quality  of 
the  Eussian  fighting  material  in  "  the  af- 
fair," says  that  the  Russians  do  not  affect  to 
deny  that  they  were  badly  beaten.  But  if 
OsMAN  Pasha  really  had  only  8,000  or  10,- 
000  men,  as  now  reported,  the  defeat  was  a 
disgraceful  one.  All  accounts  agree  in 
putting  the  Russian  force  at  a  much 
higher  ligure  than  this,  and  a 
correspondent  with  the  Russian  column 
says  that  their  infantry  alone  numbered 
32,000.  OsMAN  Pasha's  presence  at 
Plevna  is  explained  by  the  statement  that 
he  was  marching  to  the  relief  of  Nikopolis 
when  the  fall  of  that  place  occurred,  where- 
upon he  turned  to  the  right  with  his  little 
Army,  and  was  fortunate  enough  to  def en  d 
Plevna  against  the  terrible  assault  which 
speedily  followed. 


Little  Greece  is  very  much  in  earnest  with 
her  war  preparations,  whatever  they  may  be 
intended  for.  Greeks  are  recalled  from  va- 
rious countries  in  which  they  have  been  so- 
journing, and  volunteering  is  being  con- 
ducted with  such  spirit  that  certain  volun- 
teers from  Egvpt  have  got  into  trouble  with 
the  Government  of  the  Khedive,  whieh 
claims  that  they  are  subjects  of  the 
Porte.  The  Greek  Government  has  raised  a 
newloan,  which  nets  about  $13,000,000  to 
the  national  Treasury  ;  one-half  of  this  sum 
has  been  voted  to  the  extraordirary  needs 
of  the  Army  and  Xavy.  Arms  and  equip- 
ments for  100,000  men  are  provided,  and 
a  national  defense  committee  has  45,000 
muzzle-loaders  and  a  considerable  sum  of 
money.  What  Greece  can  possibly  want  so 
many  arms  for  nobody  can  guess,  but  the 
fuss  of  preparation  goes  on  amid  prodi- 
gious din,  just  as  though  the  plucky  little 
Idngdom  had  au  Army  and  a  policy. 


EUMOPEAX  trjR  AND  TRADE. 

The  best  authorities  are  now  agreed  that 
the  wheat  crop  of  the  United  States  is  to  be 
an  unusually  large  one.  The  dealers  of 
Chicago  indulge  the  anticipation  that  it 
will  exceed  by  17,000,000  bushels  that  of 
any  preceding  year — Sdx  anticipation  which 
is  not  sustained  by  more  conservative  esti- 
mates, but  whieh  shows  to  what  extent  the 
prospect  of  a  very  large  crop  is  believed  iu. 
The  good  crop  being  taken  for  granted,  it 
remains  to  determine  what  are  the 
prospects  of  disposing  of  the  surplus, 
and  iu  this  question  tlie  effect 
of  the  obstinate  contlict  iu  South- 
eastern Europe  is  necessarily  the 
most  important  factor.  Tliat  the  war 
has  already  continued  beyond  the  period 
which  was  generally  allowed  it  when  it 
broke  out  is  well  known.  The  immediate 
effect  upon  the  supplies  of  wheat  from  the 
countries  engaged  has,  therefore,  been 
greater  than  could  have  been  reasonably 
expected.  And  it  is  now  evident  that  the 
combatants  are  much  more  nearly  matched 
than  was  at  first  supposed  ;  that  there  is  no 
ground  for  thinking  that  Russia  can  close 
the  campaign  successfully  before  the  ap- 
proach of  hard  weather  will  compel  her  to 
suspend  operations,  aud  to  be  content  with 
holding  tlie  ground  she  has  gained  ;  aud  that 
neither  will  the  check  to  the  wheat  supply 
northe  increased  consumption  by  the  armies 
lessen  for  the  remainder  of  the  time  in 
which  the  American  harvest  must  be  mar- 
keted. 

On  the  other  hand,  while  the  war  has  not 
spread,  as  it  was  anticipated  that  it  would 
should  the  Turks  hold  out,  yet  the  general 
mind  of  Europe  is  far  from  being  relieved 
of  the  apprehension  that  it  will  yet  spread, 
and  trade  throughout  the  Continent,  in 
everything  but  breadstuffs,  ia  under  the 
cloud  of  that  apprehension.  The  uncer- 
tainty as  to  an  extensive  conflict,  compli- 
cated by  the  minor  but  important  consider- 
ation of  the  political  confusion  in  France, 
has  tended  to  paralyze  business.  The  Eng- 
lish journals  complain  bitterly  of  the  showing 
of  the  last  six  months'  trade  returns,  and 
look  forward  with  no  cheerful  glance  to  the 
coming  Fall.  The  significance  of  this  state 
of  things,  with  reference  to  the  disposal  of 
our  wheat  surplus,  is  that  unless  there  is  an 
actual  spread  of  war,  increasing  consumption 
and  reducing  production,  the  general  dis- 
quietude in  business  circles  and  the  uncer- 
tainty as  to  the  future  are  unfavorable  to 
our  interests.  Other  things  being  equal,  the 
demand  for  food  is  best  when  general  trade 
is  best,  and  falls  off  under  commercial  stag- 
nation. Men  actually  eat  less,  and  they 
turn,  when  they  can,  to  cheaper  forms  of 
food. 

Coining  down  to  more  definite  calcula- 
tions, we  find  that  the  principal  demand  for 
American  wheat  is  from  England.  That 
busy  little  island,  with  its  25,000,000  of 
people,  in  spite  of  the  miseries  under  which, 
according  to  Senator  Conexinq,  they  are 
suffering,  manages  to  consume  each  year 
some  181,000,000  bushels  of  wheat,  of 
which  their  own  land  produces  only  about 
109,000,000,  leaving  72,000,000  to  be 
provided  from  foreign  countries.  Accord- 
ing to  the  Board  of  Trade  returns  published 
in  the  last  issue  of  the  Economist  of  London, 
the  imports  of  wheat  into  the  United  King- 
dom for  the  past  six  months  of  1877  show  an 
increase  over  those  of  the  corresponding  six 
months  of  1876  of  511,225  hundredweight 
or  852,040  bushels.  But  in  this  increase 
the  United  States  have  not  shared.  On  the 
contrary,  the  receipts  from  this  country  in 
1876— first  half— were  17,914,338  bush- 
els, while  for  the  first  half  of  1877  they 
fell  to  16,360,900  bushels.  An  interest- 
ing feature  of  these  statistics,  more- 
over, is  the  change  iu  the  rela- 
tive proportions  of  the  wheat  sent 
from  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  coasts.    In 


the  first  half  of  1876,  of  the  17,911,338 
bushels  imported  from  the  United  States, 
the  Atlantic  coast  furnished  about  five-nintlis, 
or  9,949,043  bushels,  while  the  Pacific 
coast  furnished  the  remainder,  or  7,965,- 
625  bushels.  In  the  first  half  of  1877,  of 
the  16,360,900  bushels  imported  from 
this  country,  the  Atlantic  States  provided 
only  4,486,721  bushels,  or  28  per  cent,, 
while  the  Pacific  coast  provided  11,844,- 
160  bushels.  From  the  other  countries 
contributing  to  the  Engl&h  supply,  there 
was  an  increase  of  about  20- per  cent,  from 
Russia,  50  per  cent,  from  Germany,  the  im- 
ports from  France  were  quintupled,  those 
from  British  India  were  doubled,  and  there 
was  a  failing  off  only  from  our  own  country, 
Turkey,  and  the  Tm-kish  provinces,  and 
Egypt,  and  from  Australia. 

Bearing  in  mind  that  the  returns  of  the 
Board  of  Trade  for  1877  cover  only  the  first 
six  months  of  the  year,  and  that  the  Russo- 
Turkish  war  had  not  yet  had  time  to  exert 
any  marked  influence  on  prices  ;  also  bear- 
ing in  min(i  that  the  imports  were  neces- 
sarily drawn  from  the  portion  of  last  year's 
crops  remaining  over,  and  from  the  Spring 
wheat,  we  think  the  general  conclusion  is 
that  there  will  be  a  demand  from 
abroad  sufficient  to  enable  us  to 
market  even  our  very  large  crop  at  fair 
prices,  but  that  it  would  be  unreasonable 
to  expect  tliat  prices  will  go  very  much 
higher.  Foreign  stocks  have  unquestion- 
ably been  largely  reduced.  "  The  closing  of 
Turkish  and  Black  Sea  pouts,"  says  the 
Economist,  "  immediately  stops  a  tenth 
part  of  our  (English)  supplies."  The  crop  in 
France  is  only  fair  ;  the  increased  consump- 
tion caused  by  a  Russian  Army  wintering 
south  of  the  Danube  must  be  considerable  ; 
and,  while  the  increased  production  of  Ger- 
many and  British  India  is  notable,  it  is  not 
in  all  more  than  one-tenth  of  the  English 
demand,  and  not  more  than  one-fifth  of  the 
ordinary  American  contribution  to  that  de- 
mand. If  our  exporters  keep  their  heads 
cool  and  deal  fairly  with  the  market,  there 
is  a  good  prospect  for  American  interests. 
But  it  is  not  one  to  justify  "  kite-flying." 


A  SEW  KISI)  OF  POLITICS. 

It  is  at  least  satisfactory  to  know 
where  to  look  for  subsidy-hunters.  Hereto- 
fore they  have  approached  the  National 
Treasury  in  such  cunning  guise  that  they 
were  not  readily  discovered.  It  seems  that 
wo  are  now  about  to  have  raids  on  the 
Treasury  as  the  chief  subjects  of  political 
discussion.  The  Louisville  Courier-Journal 
puts  the  case  very  neatly  when  it  says  that 
political  questions  for  some  time  to  come 
will  be  "exclusively materialistic."  Speak- 
ing for  the  South-west,  as  that  journal  un- 
doubtedly does,  it  means  that  the  Texas- Pa- 
cific Railroail,  the  building  of  the  Mississippi 
levees,  and  various  other  little  jobs  will  be 
politics  enough  for  that  region.  It  is  a 
novel  turn  oE  affairs  :  how  the  good  old- 
fashioned  Bourbon  of  Kentucky  can  possi- 
bly forego  the  resolutions  of  '9S,  the  princi- 
ples of  Jeffersok,  and  the  Constitutiou-as- 
it-was,  aud  adhere  only  to  a  mere  money 
question,  is  a  mystery.  One  would  suppose 
that  a  race  of  Democrats  brouglit  up  to  be- 
lieve that  the  Fede.'nl  Government  is  a 
necessary  iuconvenitjuce  could  not  be 
brought,  like  Colonel  .fcffcr*-.  to  "  go  in  for 
the  old  flag  aud>  au  appropriation."  But, 
unless  all  signs  fail,  they  have  come  at  last 
to  this  complexion.  "Materialistic  ques- 
tions" have  displaced  the  principles  of  the 
aged  piirty. 

A  great  deal  lias  lately  been  said  about 
the  decline  of  parties,  but  we  do  not  remem- 
ber anything  quite  so  conclusive  oij  that 
point  as  the  acknowledgement  of  the  Courier- 
Journal.  Parties  have  certainly  come  to  a 
jiretty  pass  when  they  have  nothing  better 
for  a  political  creed  than  a  quiet  determiua- 
tion  to  get  money  out  ot  the  Treasury. 
The  Government,  say  the  South-westeru 
Democrats,  must  build  a  railroad  for  us,  re- 
claim the  Mississippi  bottom  lands,  give  us 
the  Mexican  trade,  and  improve  the  har- 
bors of  tlie  Gulf  coast.  Unless  this 
is  doue  without  opposition,  the  hun- 
gry petitioners  will  org-.iuize  a  party 
on  a  ••  materialistic  "  basis,  aud  fight  it  out 
on  that  line.  The  colored  persons  in  Lou- 
isiana who  thought  that  "  forty  acres  and  a 
mule"  would  be  theirs  if  they  voOsjd  right 
were  not  more  confident  of  speedy  wealth 
than  the  materialistic  politicians.  Mr. 
Randall  has  observed  this  tendency  of 
his  party  in  the  South  aud  West,  and  he 
encourages  it  for  admirable  reasons.  The 
Texas  Pacific  Road,  he  says,  in  the  airy 
fashion  of  one  who  is  sure  of  what  he  says, 
will  be  built  speedily.  It  is  only  a  question 
of  routes ;  when  this  is  settled  the  money 
will  be  poured  out  of  the  Treasury.  So 
of  the  wasted  acres  lying  beneath  Missis- 
sippi's overflow ;  they  will  be  reclaimed  by 
the  General  Government.  The  same  benefi- 
cent agency  will  snatch  the  trade  of  Mexico 
for  the  immediate  use  of  Galveston,  New- 
Orleans,  and  Vicksburg.  And  any  man 
who  disputes  the  expediency  of  all  these 
schemes  "  is  no  friend  of  the  South."  Let 
us  add  that  any  man  who  opposes  these  pro- 
posed subsidies  is  no  friend  of  Sami;el  J. 
Randall,  candidate  for  Speaker  of  the 
House  of  Representatives. 

Indeed.  Mr.  Randall  has  such  strong 
faith  in  the  predominance  of  materialistic 
politics  that  he  has  quite  distanced  all  com- 
petitors in  zeal  for-giving  everybody  every- 
thing. He  practically  announces  his  readi- 
ness to  head  a  party  which  shall  be  or- 
ganized on  the  simple,  plan  of  getting  all 
the  public  money  possible.  What  is  a  Gov- 
ernment for,  ask  the  materialists  of  the 
Randall  school,  but  to  pay  out  money  to  all 
who  want  it  f  Such  inconsiderable  affairs 
as  ways  and  means,  revenue  dues,  and  taxes 
do  not  disturb  these  political  economists. 
The  Government  is  to  build  vast  works,  and 
if  it  cannot  raise  the  money  except  by  taxa- 
tion, so  much  the  worse  for  the  Govem- 
tdent.  The  work  must  be  done,  and  the 
money  must  be  forthcoming,  no  matter 
about  the  mode  of  raising  it. 

The  Grangers  organized  a  party  on  "  ex- 
clusively materialistic  questions"  not  long 
since.  We  may  well  ask,  with  Breitman, 
Where  is  that  party  now  i  It  filled  the  land 
with  noise,  but  died  after  setting  on  foot  a 
mischief  which  finally  ended  in  a  great  and 
disastrous  railroad  strike.  That  party  was 
organized  to  compel  railroads  to  carry 
freight  at  low  rates ;  when  the  rates  were 
lowered  and  the  p>rty  had  died,  the  corpora^ 
tions  tried  to  recoup  their  losses  by  cutting 
the  wages  of  their  employes.  The  strike  was 
the  consequence.  The  blanket  had  been 
made  too  short  at  both  ends :  but  the  party 
of  siaterial  ideas  had  eained  its  point.    If  the 


South-western  Democrats,  or  anybody  else, 
propose  to  go  in  for  a  party  of  subsidies,  they 
are  simply  organizing  more  confusion  and 
ruin.  Moneydoesnot  grot?  apace  like  an  ill 
weed.  To  appropriate  the  public  money  is  to 
prepare  new  burdens  of  taxation.  And 
more  taxation  is  just  what  om'  people  do  not 
want  and  will  not  endure.  It  will  not  make 
it  any  more  attractive  to  disguise  it  under 
the  euphemism  of  "  materialistic  politics." 


TSB  GROWTH  OF  TASTE. 

The  growth  of  taste  in  the  Republic  dur- 
ing the  last  twenty  or  twenty-five  years, 
especially  in  the  last  ten,  has  certainly  been 
remarkable.  Since  the  foundation  of  our 
independence  we  have  always  been  liberal 
in  expenditure  to  a  point  of  prodigality ;  we 
have  always  wished  to  have  the  best, 
whieh  we  have  usually  interpreted  as  the 
costliest.  Our  love  of  glitter  and  display 
has  invariably  struck,  aud  still  strikes,  Eu- 
ropeans, who  are  now  forced  to  admit,  how- 
ever, that  we  are  steadily  toning  down.  We 
have  generally  preferred  show  to  substan- 
tiality, making  the  latter  entirely  secondary, 
and  our  prejudice  in  its  behalf  continues 
strong.  But  we  have  begun  to  understand 
the  relations  of  things,  the  laws  of  harmony, 
the  congruity  of  colors,  and  we  should  be 
ashamed  to-day  of  what  we  admired  and 
imitated  but  very  recently. 

Blind  following  of  the  French,  whom  we 
have  been  accustomed  to  look  on  as  the  sole 
arbiters  of  good  taste,  has  done  us  harm. 
We  have  been  inclined  to  think  that  any 
and  all  copying  from  the  French  must  be 
more  than  safe  ;  that  it  must  be  improving 
and  desirable.  They  have  in  many  respects 
mastered  the  art  of  elegance,  but  in  try- 
ing to  reproduce  them  we  have  been,  as 
commonly  happens,  felicitous  mainly  with 
their  faults.  New- York  demonstrates  this. 
No  city  on  either  side  of  the  sea  has  so  gen- 
eral a  resemblance  to  Paris.  The  same  rage 
for  glass  and  gilt,  the  same  excess  of  out- 
side decoration,  the  same  prevalence  of 
stucco,  the  same  tendency  to  distract  from 
blemishes  by  strong  lights,  are  conspicuous 
here  as  there.  But  we  have  no  churches 
Uke  the  Pantheon  or  Madeleine,  no  theatre 
like  the  Franyais,  no  Police  system,  no 
sewers  approaching  those  of  Paris.  The  re- 
semblance is  for  the  most  part  superficial  : 
we  do  not  undertake  to  go  deeper,  and  grap- 
ple with  difficulties  that  she   has  overcome. 

Happily,  we  are  throwing  off  this  allegiance 
to  France  and  turning  our  attention  more  to 
English  modes  and  ways,  as  becomes  a  peo- 
ple largely  descended  from  English  stock. 
We  are  not  imitating  these,  however  ;  we 
are  taking  what  they  have  good  and  fitting 
and  combining  it  with  what  is  specially  our 
own.  We  have  gone  beyond  the  period  of 
servile  following.  In  matters  of  taste  -we 
have,  without  neglecting  or  despising  any 
source  of  advantage,  broadly  and  intelli- 
gently set  up  for  ourselves,  and  from  an 
eclectic  independence,  as  it  may  be  called. 
we  have  reason  to  hope  that  the  spirit  ol 
improvement  will  be  progressive.  We  have 
thrown  down  our  idol  of  uniformity  auii 
broken  it  in  fragments.  We  have  recog- 
nized in  architecture  and  art  the  need  and 
l>enefit  of  diversity.  We  have  learned  thul 
form  to  be  graceful  must  be  elastic,  aud 
that  all  true  beauty  must  have  innumerable 
shapes  and  colors. 

It  is  not  very  long  since  all  the  private 
residences  in  villages  and  all  county  houses 
were  wooden,  rectangular,  aud  glaring  white. 
Now  they  aie  of  stone  aud  brick  as  well. 
irregular,  varied,  many-hued.  Cemeteries 
aud  gardens  were  railed  or  fenced  in — regu- 
lar, stiff,  painfully  monotonous.  There 
were  certain  .patterns  of  monuments  and 
liead-stoncs,  most  of  them  hideous,  and 
tiiese  were  reproduced  even  to  the  vile 
rhymes,  the  whole  country  over.  The  virtues 
of  good  women  were  commemorated,  and 
the  vices  of  bad  men  denied  iu  marble  gro- 
tesqueuess  and  prosodial  stupidity  that 
canceled  the  virtues  of  one  and  atoned  for 
the  vices  of  the  other.  Grounds  that  might 
have  been  attractive  were  rendered  repul- 
sive by  bald  uniformity.  Every  hollyhock 
ijad  its  appointed  place,  and  each  clump  of 
jieonies  stood  squarely  at  right  angles  to 
bunches  of  portulaea,  and  kept  awake  all 
night  in  anxiety  lest  they  should  deviate 
from  a  mathematically  straight  line  with 
whole  rows  of  phlox  religiously  prim.  Now 
railings  and  fences  are  iu  many  places  re- 
moved, along  with  carved  burlesques  and 
puritanic  beds  of  unchanging  flowers.  Some 
ot  the  terrors  of  death  have  been  banished  ; 
gardens  begin  to  look  inviting  to  the  eye, 
aud  offer  temptations  to  wandering  feet. 
Common  sense  and  gi'ace,  nearer  of  kin  than 
is  usually  supposed,  have  joined  hands,  and 
are  slowly  walking  over  the  altering  land 
with  faces  full  of  hope. 

Building  in  cities  is  better  and  more  ra- 
tionally done  ;  streets  are  laid  out  with  a 
view  to  comfort  and  conformity  ;  parks  are 
losing  their  deformities  ;  fountains  are 
ceasing  to  be  so  ugly  as  to  make  us  forget 
the  beautiful  streams  they  cast  up.  Our 
cherished  notions  of  tbe  household  have 
been  abandoned.  We  have  come  to  believe 
that  home  is  a  place  to  enjoy  as  well  as  to 
eat  and  sleep  in  ;  that  it  is  not  absolutely 
essential  that  every  piece  of  furniture  in  a 
room  shall  be  alike  and  riveted  to  a  given 
point  in  the  eai'pet.  We  have  learned  that 
where  there  is  little  money,  culture  and 
taste  can  make  some  amends  ;  that  a  few 
knickknacks  well  disposed  will  add  more 
to  the  brightness  and  ease  of  an  apartment 
than  hundreds  of  dollars  ignorantly  spent. 
We  have  relinquished  the  old  New-England 
fashion,  born  of  inflexible  Calvinism  and 
doubt  of  nature's  beneficence,  which  de- 
manded that  each  clumsy  centre-table  should 
support  a  family  Bible  and  an  astral  lamp, 
and  that  about  it  should  be  half  a  dozen  stiff- 
backed  chairs,  ever  on  guard  to  prevent  a  hair- 
cloth sofa,  formed  to  remind  one  of  his  sins, 
from  budging  out  of  its  predestined  place. 
Calvinism  is  no  longer  expressed  in  furni- 
ture. The  different  pieces  dare  to  differ ;  to 
get  out  of  appointed  comers  and  arrange 
themselves  in  easy  position.  Pictures,  en- 
gravings, carved  brackets,  hanging  baskets, 
have  crept  in,  and  now  the  soft  sunshine 
pours  through  the  open  windows  as  if  it  no 
longer  feared  to  disturb  an  eternal  plan. 
Taste,  in  short,  has  invaded  our  homes,  and 
made  them  pleasanter,  even  with  smaller 
means,  than  we  should  have  thought  possi- 
ble a  few  years  ago. 

Our  hotels  have  been  unable  to  resist  the 
advance.  They  no  longer  shine — ^the  best  of 
them  at  least — in  red  plnsh  chairs  and  sofas, 
in  big  vases  of  artificial  flowers,  in  huge 
marble-topped  tables,  in  kaleidoscopic  car- 
pets, in  amorphons  shapes  and  distracting 
colors.    They  are  subdued  from  their  i>om.n- 


ons  past ;  they  ore  quietly  <«dered  and  ap^ 
I>ouited ;  they  do  not  offend  our  sense  of 
propriety  at  every  turn.  Even  toward  the 
frontier  the  change  is  observable.  Taste  is 
stealing  into  the  high-ways  and  by-ways, 
working  miracles  with  the  simplest  agen- 
cies, and  steadily,  if  slowly,  reforming  and 
regenerating  what  once  seemed  to  be  an 
unffisthetic  land. 


TSE  "WORLD"  A3  A  DETECTIVE. 

Encouraged  by  its  success  in  proving  that 
ex-Mayor  Hall  had  been  murdered  in  the 
"  slums  "  of  Brooklyn,  the  World  has  made 
a  second  effort  as  an  amateur  detective,  and 
has  this  time  discovered  the  man  who  com- 
mitted the  murder  of  which  Pesach  Ruben- 
STEIN  was  guilty.  The  story  of  this  new 
discovery  was  told  in  yesterday's  World  in 
the  usual  "  superb  English  "  of  that  paper, 
and  was  read  with  great  interest  by  from 
twelve  to  seventeen  distinct  persons.-  The 
matter  being  one  of  obviously  great  impor- 
tance, it  ought  to  be  brought  to  the  atten- 
tion of  the  public,  and  we  therefore  proceed 
to  give  the  substance  of  the  Worlds  narra- 
tive. 

Some  time  since  "  it  came  to  the  knowl- 
edge" of  a  World  reporter  that  a  young 
woman  living  in  what  the  World,  delicately 
describes  as  a  "  house"  in  this  City,  was 
acquainted  with  the  real  murderer  of  the 
woman  whom  Robenstein  was  convicted 
of  having  killed.  With  a  moral  heroism 
which  defied  the  misconstruction  of  the 
wicked,  the  reporter  sought  the  young 
woman,  and  learned  from  her  that  a  drunken 
man,  notoriously  addicted  to  playing  the 
piano,  had  confessed  to  her  that  he  was  the 
murderer  not  only  of  Sara  Alex  and  ek  but 
of  a  large  assortment  of  European  and 
American  women.  Arrangements  were 
thereupon  effected  by  which  the  depraved 
pianist  was  made  to  rehearse  his  confession 
to  the  girl  within  hearing  of  the  reporter, 
or  in  other  words  while  the  latter  was  con- 
cealed under  the  bed.  The  wretch — mean- 
ing, of  course,  the  pianist — made  the  report- 
er's blood  run  cold  by  avowing  a  horrible 
love  for  stabbing  beautiful  women  and 
watching  the  flow  of  their  blood.  It  was, 
so  he  confessed,  his  peculiar  method  of 
showing  his  love  for  the  sex,  and  he  tried 
'o  lure  the  young  person  with  whom  he 
was  in  conversation  to  accompany  him  to 
some  secluded  rural  locality  for  the  purpose 
of  social  and  friendly  murder.  In  his  con- 
fession he  asserted  that  he  had  stolen 
Kubexstein's  boots  and  knife  on  the  day  of 
the  murder,  and  had  returned  them  after 
the  murder  was  committed.  That  he  did 
not  mention  having  also  borrowed  Ruben- 
stein's  face  and  figure  was  undoubtedly  a 
mere  accident,  for  inasmuch  as  Bubenstein 
was  seen  by  several  witnesses  in  company 
with  the  girl  just  previous  to  her  murder 
it  is  clear  that  the  fiendish  pianist  must 
have  borrowed  Rubexstein's  body  as  well 
as  his  boots  and  knife. 

Comiug  from  such  trustworthy  sources  as 
a  "  young  person,"  a  drunken  pianist,  and 
the  World,  this  story  cannot  be  doubted.  If 
it  is  not  true,  either  the  young  person,  the 
piauist,  or  the  World  has  told  what  is  not 
true,  either  of  which  suppositions  is  well- 
:iigh  unthinkable.  Moreover,  the  story 
liears  all  the  marks  of  unquestionable  truth. 
Nothing  is  more  probable  thau  that  a  mur- 
derer sliould  voluntarilv  confess  his  crime 
for  the  purpose  of  amusing  a  young  woman. 
This  is  the  well-known  and  constant  habit 
of  murderers,  aud  accounts  for  the  fact  that 
so  few  of  them  are  ever  discovered  by  the 
Police.  As  to  the  testimuny  of  the  numer- 
ous witnesses  who  saw  Kubenstein  with 
Sara  Alex-andeb  on  their  way  to  the  spot 
where  the  crime  was  committed,  they  were 
deceived  by  the  astute  conduct  of  the  pian- 
ist, who  had  disguispd  himself  with  Ruben- 
stein's  body  aud  boots.  The  World  has 
rendered  a  great  serrice  in  thus  detecting 
au  atrocious  murderer,  and  has,  if  any- 
thing, surpassed  the  maguificent  skill  with 
which  it  um-avoled  the  Hall  mystery. 

It  might  naturally  be  supposed  that  the 
World  would  be  content  to  rest  upon  its 
worthily  won  laurels,  but  those  who  are  best 
acquainted  with  the  character  of  that  able 
but  modest  journal  know  that  it  is  tireless 
in  the  performance  of  duty.  It  is  under- 
stood that  at  an  early  day  it  will  publish — 
or  rather  print — a  full  account  of  a  horrible 
and  hitherto  unsuspected  murder.  It  re- 
cently came  to  the  knowledge  of  a  World 
reporter  that  a  small  girl,  aged  7,  residing 
iu  a  dwelling  in  the  upper  part  of  this  City, 
had  committed  a  murder  of  more  than  usual 
atrocity.  The  reporter  instantly  went  to  the 
dwelling,  aud,  concealing  himself  under  a 
bed  in  the  nursery,  was  soon  rewarded  by 
the  entrance  of  the  girl  who,  talking  to  her- 
self after  the  manner  of  astute  criminals, 
made  the  signi&cant  and  blood-curdling  re- 
mark that  she  "  smelt  the  blood  of  an  Eng- 
lishman." This  terrific  phrase  she  repeated 
at  intervals  in  a  monotonous  1>one,  thus 
plainly  showing  the  workings  of  a  guilty 
conscience.  Presently  five  other  small 
children  entered,  and  the  girl,  seating  her- 
self ou  the  bed,  began  to  tell  them  a  story 
which  was  evidently  the  confession  of  a 
crime  committed  by  her,  since  she  constantly 
spoke  in  the  first  person,  and  repre- 
sented herself  as  the  actor  in  the 
tragedy  described.  She  told  how  she 
had  been  shut  up  by  a  tall  and  objectionable 
man ;  how  she  had  escaned  by  a  clever 
strategem,  and  sought  refuge  in  a  cave. 
The  tall  man,  discovering  her  flight,  pursued 
her,  dressed  chiefly  in  his  Arctic  overshoes. 
Fatigued  by  a  long  journey,  he  lay  down  to 
sleep  in  the  mouth  of  the  identical  cave  in 
which  the  girl  was  concealed,  and  as  soon 
as  he  was  asleep  she  cut  off  his  head  with 
her  penknife,  put  on  his  Arctic  overshoes, 
and,  returning  to  his  house,  murdered  his 
wife  in  cold  blood.  After  this  terrible  con- 
fession was  ended,  the  children  left  the 
nursery  with  a  view  to  lunch,  and  the  World 
reporter,  more  dead  than  alive,  crept  out 
from  under  the  bed,  aud  hastened  to  prepare 
the  story  for  publication — that  is  to  say,  for 
printing — in  the  colunms  of  his  paper.  Of 
course,  as  soon  as  the  story  appears,  and  is 
copied  and  published  in  some  newspaper, 
the  Police  will  take  immediate  measures  to 
think  what  they  had  better  do  about  it.  The 
name  ot  the  young  but  hardened  murderer 
is  said  to  be  Thuiub,  and  the  reporter  no- 
ticed that  in  the  course  of  her  confession 
she  called  herself  "  Tom,"  the  name  being 
doubtless  a  nickname  conferred  upon  her 
by  her  playmates.  It  is  a  comfort  to  reflect 
that  the  World  will  soon  drag  this  wretched 
creature  to  justice,  and  this  thought  will 
lessen  the  shock  with  which  the  public  will 
learn  of  a  frightful  and  hitherto  successfully 
concealed  criui» 


OBITUARY. 


EX-PEESIDENT  SMITH,  OF  DARTMOUTH. 

R«v.  Dr.  Asa  Dodge  Smith,  ex-President  of 
Dartmoath  College,  and  formerly  Pastor  of  the 
Fourteenth-Street  Presbyterian  Chorch  in  this  City, 
died  at  Hanover,  N.  H,,  yesterday.  He  wa<  » 
prominent  figure  among  the  clergy  of  New-York  dur- 
ing his  long  pastorate,  and  Ma  Presidency  of  Dart- 
mouth has  given  him  a  wide  and  eminent  reputation 
among  educators  and  educated  men.  A  collate 
President,  especially  if  his  term  of  service  has  ^teen 
extended  or  conspicuously  snccessfol,  cannot  drop 
away  unnoticed.  There  are  those  who  knew  him, 
who  have  felt  the  value  of  his  friend- 
ship and  his  assistance,  aud  who,  in  the  im- 
pressible, formative,  student  period  of  their  lives, 
under  the  favoring  circumstances  of  this  peculiar  re- 
lation of  instructor  and  pupil,  have  gathered  aad 
stored  away  indelible  impressions  of  the  personality 
of  the  college  head,  which  news  like  this  which  comes 
to-day  of  President  Smith  will  vividly  recall.  In  the 
reminiscences  of  those  who  graduated  under  him, 
and  even  in  hasty,  vagne  impressions  or  imaginings 
of  the  present.  Dr.  Smith  will  always  be  the  Presi- 
dent ;  it  is  Impossible  for  them  to  conceive  of  the  col- 
lege as  under  tne  direction  of  another  hand,  except 
by  A  conscious  exertion  of  memory.  And  he  had 
qualities,  official  and  private,  which  entitle  him  to  the 
grateful  remembrance  of  Dartmouth  men. 

Dr.  Smith  was  born  at  Amherst,  N.  H.,  Sept.  21. 
1804.  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  had  reached  tbe 
ripe  age  of  73.  His  early  youth  was  that  of  a  poO"" 
lad,  and  he  knew  what  toll  was  in  the  very  beginning 
of  life,  for  his  ac;.djtnic  and  college  education  was 
paid  for  out  of  his  own  earnings.  Like  so  many  who 
came  after.him  to  that  institution,  wher^  boys  come 
ragged  and  without  a  cent  and  graduate  sometimes  a 
few  hundred  dollars  ahead,  he  "worked  his  way 
through  college."  He  gradxiated  in  the  Class 
of  1S30,  which  was  also  that  of  Judge 
David  Aiken,  of  Massachusetts.  Theology  was 
the  profession  for  which  he  was  preparing,  and  iii 
183-4  he  graduated  at  the  Andover  Seminary.  He 
did  not  wait  long  for  a  call.  On  the  2d  of  November. 
1H34,  he  was  installed  over  the  body  which  later 
became  known  as  the  Fourteenth-Street  Presbyterian 
Church  in  this  City ;  at  that  time,  however,  thechurch 
was  further  down  town.  The  congregation  was  a 
large  and  wealthy  one.  and  included  many  prominent 
and  influential  citizens.  Dr.  Smiths  pastorate  con- 
tinued for  29  years,  covering  a  period  remarkable 
for  the  growth  of  religious  thought  and  the  increase 
of  the  exactions  made  by  the  pews  upon  the  pulpit. 
It  was  a  signally  satisfactory  and  uniting 
pastorate  to  the  church,  and  when  he 
resigned  the  position  to  enter  a  higher  and 
wider  sphere  of  influence,  he  carried  with  him  tbe 
undiminished  love  of  his  people.  Before  his  depart- 
ure from  fBe  City  a  banquet  was  given  him  by  his 
friends,  which  was,  we  believe,  the  first  formal  re- 
union of  Dartmouth  graduates  in  this  City.  He  re 
signed  his  pastorate  on  the  15th  of  October,  16U3. 
and  three  days  later  was  inaugurated  President  of 
Dartmouth  College. 

He  succeeded  the  venerable  Dr.  Nathan  Lord,T(^ose 
long  Presidency  of  the  college,  beginning  in  1828,  in 
which  he  showed  eminent  wisdom  and  masterly  in- 
tellectual abilities,  terminated  with  his  resignation  at 
the  annual  Com.inencement  in  1S63.  Dr.  I»rd's 
period  of  usefulness  was  by  no  means  at  an  eud.  but 
for  a  variety  of  reasons,  among  which  wert 
the  views  held  and  publicly  expressed  by  Presi- 
dent Lord  upon  religious  and  political  subjects,  the 
Trustees  considered  a  change  desirable.  It  was  at  a 
time  in  the  nation's  history  when  the  public  feeling 
at  the  North — from  whieh  the  college  drew  most  of 
its  students — was  keenly  sensitive  upon  the  subject 
of  slavery  and  other  topics  associated  with  the  civil 
war,  then  at  its  neight,  aud  the  success  of  the  insti- 
tution was  thought  to  depend  upon  its  being  un- 
der tbe  direction  of  a  man  entirely  iu  sympathy 
with  the  masses  at  the  North.  The  choice 
of  the  Trustees  fell  on  Br.  Smith : 
aud  if  the  enhancement  of  the  material  prosperity  of 
Dartmouth  was  one  of  the  chief  ends  they  had  in 
view,  the  wisdom  of  their  choice  has  been  abundantly 
revealed.  President  Smith  carried  with  him  from 
this  City  a  sum  of  money  raised  by  subscrip- 
tion for  the  college,  the  interest  of  which 
paid  his  salary.  He  entered  upon  his  office 
duties  with  a  due  appreciation  of  their  exa^-tin^ 
nature,  and  an  acquaintance,  already  considerable, 
with  the  peculiarities  of  youth  ;  though  this  was 
doubtless  mucli  enlai^ed  by  his  14  years'  experience 
with  many  huiidred  boys  and  young  men.  His  con- 
secraiiou  to  college  work  was  entire.  He  had  no 
private  life,  no  existence  separate  from  Dartmouth. 
In  his  kindaeiis  of  heart  and  readiness  to  listen  at  all 
times  to  the  requests  of  students,  he  penoitted  his 
fixed  hours  for  interviews  to  be  overrun,  aud  there 
was  hardly  an  hour  in  the  day  he  was  not  called  upon 
at  liis  house  by  three  or  four  or  a  dozen  members  of 
the  college.  In  vacation,  even,  he  often  denied  him- 
svlf  needed  rest,  that  he  might  give  his  attention  to 
tlie  affairs  of  the  college.  . 

As  a  financial  provider  he  met  with  a  degree  of  suc- 
cess totally  unprecedented  in  the  history  of  the  col- 
lege. The  two  Wheelocks  and  their  immediate  suc- 
ressors  urged  its  needs  when  tbe  silver  dollar  of  our 
fathers  was  a  larger  coin  than  it  is  now.  and  hanJer 
to  get,  and  they  met  with  a  generous  response  ;  but 
Presidt-nt  Smith  surpassed  them.  The  languid  fi- 
nances of  the  institution  revived  at  his  touch,  and  he 
keut  them,  in  a  condition  of  vigorous  and  effective 
vitality  throughout  his  Presidency.  It  u.sed  to  be 
said  that  whenever  President  Smith  heard  of  a  rich 
man  who  was  hastening  toward  the  grave  he  would 
take  the  first  train  for  that  man's  home  and  make  sure 
that  he  didn't  get  out  of  the  world  till  he  had  re- 
membered Dartmouth  munificently.  Certain  it  is 
that  bis  personal  inflnonce  secured  many  important 
gifts  and  benefactions  to  the  college.  The  reputation 
of  the  institution  was  greatly  extended  under  his  ad- 
ministration. From  ISGO  to  1SG8  the  averase  num- 
ber of  students  in  the  graduating  classes  was  50  : 
the  Class  of  '71  numbered  70  men  ;  that  of  '72,  69, 
aud  that  of  '73,  72. 

In  disciplinary  matters  President  Smith's  methods 
were  quite  unlike  those  of  his  predecessor.  Dr. 
Lord.  The  latter  seemed  never  to  admit  the  possi- 
bility of  gross  infractions  of  the  college  laws  ;  but 
when  they  did  occur  he  punished  them  with  more 
than  judicial  indifference  to  the  personality  or  posi- 
tion of  the  offender,  aud  with  a  severity  not  to  be 
forgotten.  If  any  extraordinarv  circumstance 
aroused  a  rebellions  outbreak  he  suppressed,  it  by  the 
irresistible  force  of  his  personal  majesty, 
aided,  to  some  extent,  by  terrible  blows 
frem  a  stout  cane  that  he  had  a  habit  of 
carrrin^.  President  Smith,  though  never  toleralting 
disobedience  to  college  laws,  was  less  severe.  He 
was  the  considerate  father  rather  than  the  stem  Judge. 
He  was  ready  to  consider  palliating  circumstances — 
penitence,  promises,  parents — and  if  the  dignity  of 
the  law  were  not  likely  to  suffer,  he  could  commute 
expulsion  to  suspension,  or  pardon,  conditionally.  At 
what  may  be  called  the  Faculty  Assizes,  when  the 
wholebod'y  of  instructors  sat  asajnrj*  of  specLol  inquest 
to  discover  the  author  of  some  piece  of  mischief  or 
immorality,  President  Smith  wa.s  as  fertile  in  ex- 
pedients as  tbe  most  experienced  detective  or  crimi- 
nal lawyer,  and  the  offender  who  escaped  detection 
did  so  only  by  the  exercise  of  superior  cunning.  With 
the  exception  of  rare  occasions,  when  \iolent  ebulli- 
tions of  class  rivalry  made  the  students  forgetful  of 
everything  but  their  adversaries,  their  demeanor 
toward  him  was  always  reverent  and  respectful. 

The  severity  of  his  labors  wore  upon  him  percepti- 
bly before  he  had  been  many  years  in  the  college,  and 
in  the  Winter  of  1869-70  he  was  warned  by  symp- 
toms of  softening  of  'the  brain  that  a  respite  was  im- 
peratively demanded  by  his  sj^tera.  He  spent  three 
months  on  the  Island  of  Jamaica  during  that  Winter, 
and  was  enabled  to  continue  at  his  post  thereafter 
until  last  Februarv,  when  a  further  and 
marked  failing  of  his  health  compelled  him 
to  present  his  resignation  '  to  the  Trustees. 
who  reluctantly  accepted  It.  He  was  succeeded 
by  Prof.  Samuel  C.  Bartlett,  of  Chicago,  who  was 
inaugurated  at  the  last  Commencement.  However 
creditable  to  a  man  in  the  flush  and  prime  of  life 
may  be  his  heroic  readiness  to  die  in  the  harness,  if 
die  he  must,  it  seems  nnjust,  in  the  case  oi  a  man 
like  President  Smith,  that  the  end  of  labor  and  the 
end  of  life  may  not  be  separated  by  a  period  of  rest. 
a  calm  interval  for  contemplative  review  of  the  com- 
pleted lif .-  task.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  his  ambi- 
tion to  continne  at  his  labors  denied  him  this  joy  and 
privilege. 

We  have  thus  far  made  no  men-.i'^  n  of  his  qualities 
as  a  clergyman.  He  was  an  eminently  pious  man, 
and  a  theologian  of  the  old  schooL  Doctrines, 
dogmas,  b^efs,  seemed  to  him  more  appropriate 
themes  for  pulpit  consideration  than  modem  in- 
stances. But  though  si>eculative  theology  largely 
engaged  his  mind,  he  possessed  the  power  of  apt  ap- 
plication. His  baccalaureate  discourses  were  rich  m 
precepts  for  the  moral  guidance  of  the  young  men  to 
whom  they  were  addrestsed,  and  religion  was  never  to 
him  too  lofty  a  thing  for  daUy  life.

Jewish  circles  in  Augusta,  Ga..  are  excited  by 
a  story  that  a  Hebrew  named  Seligman  Zimmera. 
who  died  in  the  City  Hospital  on  Saturday  at  the 
age  of  ^0  years,  was  baptized  by  a  priest  according 
to  the  rites  of  the  Catholic  Church  shortly  before  hii 
demise.  The  Sisters  of  Meroy  have  charge  of  th* 
bospita]  under  a  contract  with  tbe  City  CouuciL 
Upon  demand  they  gave  up  the  body  to  the  Jews, 
but  said  that  the  Catholic  Church  "  would  take  the

By  some  unaccountable  mistake.  Dr.  Ephraim 

M.  Epstein,  of  Ciuuinnati,  causud  the  death  of  bis 
little  son,  aged  31-2  y^ars.  On  Monday  evening  he 
drove  to  a  dru^  store,  aud  from  his  buggy  ordered 
"six  grains  of  sulphate  of  morphine,"  which  was 
supplied  to  him  and  properly  labeled.  With  his  mind 
occupied  by  other  matte:>;,  he  returned  home,  and 
laboring  under  the  dt-Iusiun  that  be  had  purcjasod 
quinine,  administered  thrt^  grains  of  the  drug  to  tha 
sick  child.  Soou  the  mistake  was  discovered,  aud 
pQVsiciaus  were  summoned.  The  child  rallied  under 
their  treatment,  aud  was  supi>ostjd  to  be  out  of  dan- 
ger uutU.  Tuesday  mominj;,  when  a  relapse  ottruired, 
and,  with  an  unfinished  prater  on  his  lips,  tha  lit-

In  a  careless  moment  the  Boston  Transcript 
editorially  says :  *'  But  '  the  eyes  uf  the  universe."  as 
the  Delaware  orator  said,"  &c.  The  Trantcript  must 
have  had  an  indistinct  recollection  of  au  episode  In 
the  Johnson  impeachment  trial  in  mind,  whieh  it 
may  not  be  uninteresting  to  recall.  A  Delaware  man, 
George  H.  Karzenar,  was  hviu^  interrogated,  and, 
speaking  of  " Ad  interim"  Thomas,  testified:  " He 
said  be  was  a  Delaware  boy,  and  I  said  to  him : 
'General,  the  eyes  of  Delaware  are  on  you.'  I  tol3 
him  that  Delaware  would  require  hira  to  stand  firm. 
He  said  he  would ;  he  was  stan<liQg  &tm,  and 
wouldn't  disappuiut  his  friends  ;  and  in  a  day  or  two, 
or  three  days,  or  a  short  time,  he  would  kiclf.  zhaz 
fellow  [Stanton]  out." 

Si>eaking  of  the  proposed  State  Convention  ol 
supporters  of  the  President's  policy,  the  Lewlstoo 
(Me.)  Jfumoi  says  :  *  Most  of  the  friends  of  Presi- 
dent Hayes  in  this  section  whom  we  have  seen  doubt 
the  wisdom  of  holding  such  a  couvoution.  and  favor 
— as  they  are  confident  President  Hayes  would — an 
earnest  support  of  the  Republiuiu  ticket.  They  tako 
the  ground,  in  which  we  decidedly  concur,  that  any 
attempt  to  disorganize  the  Republican  Forty  at  this 
time  would  be  injurious  to  tbe  party,  the  country, 
and  President  Hayes  himself.  They  believe  that 
there  are  no  differences  in  tbe  Republican  ranks 
which  will  not  be  rt^conciled  Dy  the  progress  of 
events.  But  while  those  friends  uf  President  Hayes 
whom  we  have  seen  take  tliis  sensible  ground,  they 
expect  to  be  met  in  a  similar  spirit,  and  ask  that  tno 
open  assaults  -which  are  being  made  on  the  Presidant 
in  some  Republican  quarters  shall  cease."

Gen.  "William  Mahone.  the  leading  defeated 
candidate  for  the  Democratic  nomination  for  Gov- 
ernor of  Virginia,  waa  serenaded  upon  his  return  to 
his  home  in  Petersburg,  and  in  responding  said  : 
"In  the  result,  my  fellow-citizens.  I  shall  be  content 
if  no  one  feels  more  disappointment  than  I  do.  For 
myself  I  have  no  regret  oih-^r  than  that  which  syai' 
pathizes  with  the  failure  of  tlial  hope  which  a  gen- 
erous partiality  and  personal  devotion  had  centered 
upon  me-  The  end  we  reached  was  in  the  pursuit  of 
that  line  of  policy  which  had  been  considerately 
formed  at  the  beginning,  formed  without  reference 
or  prejudice  to  per!>'ms.  but  with  distinct  respect  to 
your  better  interests  and  a  due  regard  to  the  just 
claims  of  another  great  section  of  the  Common- 
wealth.  To  vour  own  grand  division  of  the  State, 
whose  people  Ijave  never  faltei-ed  in  any  cause 
of  party  or  of  patriotism,  or  to  the  Valley  of

whiV-li  your  partiality  would  bave  conferred

by  my  friends  fand  I  most  cordially  approved  their

tion to  that  sense  of  lustice  and  to  that  wi»idom  of 
?olicy  which  your  public  conduct  has  ever  displayed- 
ou  thereby  recognized  and  enforced  that  principle 
of  reciprocity  between  the  sections  whidi.  iu  the  dis- 
tribution of  public  honors,  has  been  too  long  and  too 
often  disregarded.  Fellow-citizens,  this  ranvass  has 
uncovered  a  most  important  issue — one  which  con- 
cerns the  harmony  of  our  Conservative  Party  and 
the  very  life  of  our  State,  Upon  that  grave  question, 
that  of  the  public  debt,  I  have  to  repeat  here,  in  the 
most  solemn  manner,  my  conviction  of  tiie  correct- 
ness of  the  views  which  I  have  hitherto  oxjirc-ssod. 
The  interest  of  this  people,  the  honor  of  Virginia, 
and  the  security  of  the  creditor  alike  demand  that  m 
readjustment  and  equalization  of  the  public  obliga-

suaded that  unless  speedy  and  earnest  efforts  be  dl> 
reeled  to  this  end,  banlmiptcy.  dishonor,  and  open 
repudiation  must  ensue. " 


JVDGE  W.ESTS  EYESIGHT, 
A  correspondent  of  the  St.  Louis  Globe-D^nty 
cnU,  writing  from  Columbus,  Ohio,  says:  "  Jmi^ 
West  has  a  most  singular  affection  of  the  eyes.  It  ia 
not  near-sightedness,  but  a  i>eculiar  limit  to  tbe 
Tision.  An  object  directly  in  front  of  him  at  any 
distance  is  plainly  visible.  The  limit  of  this  vision 
is'about  two  feet.  Standing  in  front  of  three  trees, 
plantedsay  four  feet  apart,  the  trunk  of  the  centra 
tree  would  fill  his  eye.  while  the  other  two  would  b« 
utterly  out  of  the  range  of  his  sight.  To  sweep  the 
horizon  with  his  eyes,  the  Judge  is  obliged  to  tuia 
completely  around.  A  good  idea  may  be  gathered  ol 
the  outlines  of  this  remarkable  affection  by  experi-

Washington,  Au^.  16.— Tn.the  Asso- 
ciated Press  dispatches  from  Canada  this  morn- 
ing was  a  statement  from  Secretary  Mills,  of  the 
Interior  Department  of  the  Dominion,  in  which 
fee  says  that  President  Hayes  consulted  with 
him  during  his  recent  'isit  here  in  regard  to  the 
Canadian  policy  of  dealing  with  the  Indians,  and 
announced  his  intention  of  changing  the  Indian 
policy  of  the  Unit^  Si«btd5  so  as  to  incorporate 
Jn  it  the  main  features  of  the  Canadian  system. 
It  is  only  true  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  consul- 
tation, in  which  Secretary  Schurz  and  Cummis- 
sioner  Smith  took  part,  but  in  so  important  a 
matter  as  this  the  l^esident  will  not  take 
liasty  action.  Congre-iiiional  legislation  also  la 
necessary  to  bring  about  any  important  altera- 
tions in  the  existing  sysu^m  of  treating  our 
Indians,  tome  fecitures  maybe  borrowed  from 
the  Canadian  plan,  however,  and  that  at  once. 
The  Canadian  Iniians  are  not  confined  to  reser- 
vations, but  are  allowed  to  roam  about  at  will 
They  are  not  fed  by  the 'government,  but  sup- 
port themselves,  principally  by  hunting,  au 
annual  stipend  and  some  supplies  be- 
ing, however,  distributed  to  them  by 
Indian  agents,  of  which  there  are  30. 
They  are  brought  toitrial  foroffenses  committed 
tipou  each  other  or  u^n  white  men,  and  a  white 
xnan  is  liable  to  panishmeut  for  offenses  com- 
xoitted  upon  an  Indian.  To  carry  out  these 
rules  there  is  a  system  of  magistracy  among  the 
Indians,  the  magistrates  trying  all  offenders 
brought  before  them  by  the  mounted  Poliire.  a 
body  of  300  who  ride  through  the  country  prw 
•erving  law  and  order  and  making  arrests.  Am- 
munition and  arms  are  distributed  and  sold  to 
the  Indians  by  the  agents. 

This  plan,  it  will  l^  seen,  is  dianietrioally  oi>- 
posit©  to  the  system  of  our  Government ;  and 
there  are  many  reasons  why  it  cannot  be  intro- 
duced into  the  United  States.  There  are  also 
'many  reasons  why  the  Canadian  Indians  should 
be  moi'e  easily  managed  than  ours.  One  is  that 
there  is  plenty  of  game  in  the  vast  country  over 
"which  they  roam,  and  hunters  are  not  allowed 
to  ruthlessly  slaughter  any.  The  In- 
dians can.  therefore,  always  support  themselves. 
Another  strong  reasou  fs  that  their  country  is 
Hot  entered  by  emigrants,  and  the  tights  which 
generally  ensue  when  these  two  elements  come 
in  contact  are  avoided.  It  is  prolable  that  the 
President  will  hereafter  have  army  officers  de- 
tailed to  take  charge  of  the  extreme  outpo:si's 
and  retire  th©  agents.  It  is  believed  that  he 
will  fthjo  recommend  in  his  annual  3Iessage  the 
establishment  of  a  code  of  laws  for  the  punish- 
ment of  Indians  guilty  of  crimes.

special  Dispatch  to  the  »ic-  York  Titnes. 

"Washington,  Aug.  16. — Just  before  the 
President's  departure  yesterday  he  approved 
the  sentence  of  the  courts-martial  of  Capt. 
James  H.  Stewart  and  Capt.  John  W.  Eckles, 
both  of  the  Fifteenth  Infantrv.  They  were 
tried  at  Sante  Fe  last  month,  Capt.  Stewart  for 
driinkenness  and  Capt.  Eckles  for  trjing  to  cor- 
rupt a  Council  of  Administration.  It  seems  that  a 
candidate  for  the  post  sutlersbip  at  Fort  Win- 
gate,  New-Mexico,  offered  Eckles  $3,000  to  se- 
cure the  appointment  for  him.  Eckles  offered  a 
portion  of  this  sum  to  the  Council  of  Adminis- 
tration, who  were  to  appoint  the  sutler.  Eckles 
•was  a  Lieutenant  in  a  volunteer  regiment  frum 
I)elaware,  and  at  the  close  of  the  war  was  as- 
signed to  the  regular  Army.  He  ser%'ed  faith- 
fully, and  received  several  wotin  Is.  St*^wart  is 
from  Nevada,  and  was  Captain  in  a  California 
"Volunteer  reginxent  during  the  war. 

When  the  last  class  graduat<d  frnm  West 
Point  there  were  26  cadets  for  whom  there  wer« 
no  vacancies  in  the  Army,  and  they  were  a-^- 
signed  to  different  regiments  as  Brevet  Second  , 
Lieutenants.  Since  then  vacancies  havt-  oc- 
curred, and  these  cadets  are  now  all  assigned.

mands of  Europe  for  breadstuffs,  but  we  should 
also  supply  ships  to  carry  the  suae." 

The  Cominissioner  of  Internal  Revenue 
has  received  a  letter  from  a  drug  firm  in  New- 
York  asking  to  be  informed  whether  they  are 
right  OT  wrong  in  assuming  that  sample  vials 
containing  a  limited  Quantity  of  a  medicinal 
preparation,  distributea  by  them  free  of  clurge 
to  doctors  and  chemists  for  examination  and 
analysis,  such  vials  having  no  commercial  value 
and  not  salable,  are  not  required  to  have  a  rev- 
enue stamp  attached.  In  reply  they  are  in- 
formed that  an  article  liable  to  stamp  tax  under 
Schedule  A  requires  to  be  stamped  before  it  is 
removed  from  the  place  of  manufacture  for 
gratuitous  distribution.  Removal  from  the 
place  of  manufacture,  under  the  circumstances 
described,  would  l>e  a  removal  for  consumption 
or  use,  and  all  articles  removed  for  consump- 
tion or  use  must  be  stamped.  Such  has  been 
the  imiform ,  ruling  of  the  Internal  Revenue 
Office,  affirmed  by  a  published  opinion  of  the 
Attorney-General  of  the  United  States,  to  whom 
the  question  of  liability  of  sample  packages  of 
medicines  not  sold,  but  distributed  gratuitously, 
was  submitted  for  an  opinion.

to  examine  into  the  af^drs  of  the  New-York 
Cnstom-house. 

It  is  known  here  that  the  parties  who  are 

Sow  complaining  of  Secretary  Sherman  and 
forton.  Bliss  &  Co,  had  formed  a  syndicate  of 
their  own,  had  held  conferences  with  the  Sec- 
xetary,  and  had  offered  Morton,  Bliss  &  Co.,  and 
ether  members  of  the  present  5>-ndicate,  an  in- 
terest in  their  syndicate,  before  the  Rothschilda 
and  associates  had  made--»ny  proposition  to  the 
Secretary  for  the  new  4  p^  cent,  bonds. 

The  following  balances  were  in  the  United 
States  Treasury  to-day  at  the  closing  hour  :  Cur- 
rency, $12,335,096  W9  ;  special  fund  for  the 
redemptionof  fractional  currency.  $8,160,&5>4 ; 
special  deposit  of  legal  tenders  for  the  redemp- 
tion of  certificates  of  deposit,  i&5b,7S5,0O0 ;

cates,)  $102,048,855  69;  outstanding  legal 
tenders,  $359,094,220. 

The  Department  of  State  has  rec  eived  a  e  ora- 
Xnercial  report  of  late  date  published  by  the 
British  Government,  in  which  the  Couaul  of 
that  power  at  Zanzibar  says  that  "at  the  time 
the  Ajtnerican  gold  dollar  was  lej^^ed  as  the  I 
monetary  unit,  it  w^  anticipated  ^at  English 
sovereigns  would  be  imported  in  suf^cient  num- 
bers to  cotinterpoLse  the  impetus  given  to  the  in- 
troduction of  the  American  coin.  This,  how- 
ever, did  not  prove  to  be  the  case,  and  the  Eng- 
lish sovereign  has,  consequently,  been  demone- 
tized. It  is  now  so  rare  in  Zanzibar  that  it  can- 
not be  purchased  under  $^  93.  and  remittances 
on  England  can  only  be  effected,  therefore,  at 
heavy  loss.  The  fictitious  value  of  the  American 
gold  dollar  being  now  fixed  by  usage,  no  fresh 
bnportations  of  English  sovereigns  would  suffice 
to  solve  the  difficulty,  as  theywould  inevitably 
be  undervalued." 

Several  cotinterfeit  coins  have  recently 
.  been  presented  at  the  Treastiry  Department  by 
bankemand  others,  who,  coming  into  possession 
of  them  and  being  doubtful  of  their  genuine- 
xiess,  have  sent  them  to  the  department  for  ex- 
•mination.  A  counterfeit  eagle  was  among  the 
coins  recently  handed  over  the  cotinter  of  the 
cash  room  for  recognition,  and  was  sent  to  tho^ 
Assay  Office  at  the  Mint  for  a  report,  and  the  ' 
Assayer  returned  7.20  the  proceeds  of  the  eagle. 
It  was  not  made  from  a  genuine  or  fac  simile 
die,  and  was  not  a  tilled  piece.  It  was  a  good  im- 
itation of  the  genuine,  but  too  thick.  Itisnotim- 
probable  that  there  are  quite  a  number  of  these 
coins  made  from  aforged  die  in  circulation.  The 
weight  of  the  coin  was  right,  but  the  fineness 
instead  of  being-  900  was  only  647.  Another 
counterfeit  eagle  made  of  type-metal  washed 
with  gold  was  received  to-day.  The  washing  is 
very  thin,  and  the  thickness  and  lightness  of 
the  coin  would  of  itself  show  that  It  was  not 
genuine. 

A  dispatch  from  the  United  States  Minis- 
ter to  tireece  to  the  State  Department  asserts 
that  the  United  States  can  now  and  henceforth 
control  to  a  large  extent  the  grain  markets  of 
Europe.  He  says :  **  Bussiik  has  been  our 
only  competitor  in  this  trade.  Under  the 
most  favorable  circumstances  for  Russia  {as  has 
'been  so  clearly  demonstrated  in  the  report  sent 
.by  the  Odessa  Committee  on  Trade  and  Manu- 
foctures  to  l^e  Council  for  Trade  and  IVIanuf ac- 
tores  at  St.  Petersbn^)  the  United  States  has 
had  the  advantage  oz  that  great  cereal  produ- 
cing country.  Our-  ncuMxhinerv,  railroad 
system,  elevators,  and  simple  Customs 
regulationB  -,  combined,  have  enabled  us 
to  place  our  jcrain  on  shipboard 
15  per  cent,  leas  th&n  cotild  be  done  in  the 
porta  of  Ruftiia.  The  gigantic  war  in  which 
that  nation  is  now  engi^ed  cannot  certainlv 
lessen  those  advantages.  With  such  an  outlook 
it  is  not  too  much  to  assert  that  with  reasonable 
efforts  on  our  part  we  can  control  the  English, 
French  and  Italian  markefta.  Anticipating  the 
future  course  of  *">^^'*  trade,  British  capitalists

tTNIOK-SQUARE   THEATRE. 

An  adaptatidn  of  the  French  com^die- vaude- 
ville, called  "  Les  Domino*  Roses,"  was  made  known 
at  the  Union-Square  Theatre  yesterday  evening.  It 
introduces  a  dozen  personages,  is  divided  into  three 
acts,  and  is  called,  as  in  Paris,  "Pink  Domlnos." 
The  caose  of  good  taste  and  of  art  would 
be  best  served,  perhaps,  if  the  present  no- 
tice of  the  play  besan  and  ended  with  this  record 
of  fact.  The  reader,  however,  may  desire  more 
enlightenment  on  the  subject  than  so  hurried  a  dis- 
missal would  enable  him  to  receive,  and  if  he  does  not 
understand  that  a  piece  so  samnLarily  disposed  of  is, 
in  our  jndgmont,  scarcely  worth  witnessing,  it  may 
be  well  to  supply  grounds  for  our  be  lief 
that  "  Pink  Dominos  "  does  not  call  for  either  com- 
mendation or  serious  criticism.  Its  material  is  old, 
its  characters  are  commonplace,  and  the  develop- 
ment of  its  story  is  by  no  means  indicative  of  th  e 
labor  of  a  skilled  hand-  Tims  much  for  the  value  of 
the  play  as  a  work  of  art.  On  purely  aesthetic 
gronnds  it  la  a  most  disagreeable  achievement. 
The  spectacle  presented  by  two  wives  who 
make  assignations  in  pubUc  gardens  with 
their  husbands,  and  change  partners  in  private  sup- 
per rooms  with  an  iivismiciance  which  would  be  mar- 
velous if  it  were  not  di,sgastlng.  can  hardly  be  termed 
edifying.  Upon  the  French  stage,  transactions  of 
this  sort  lose  half  of  their  significance  by  the  deft- 
ness with  which  they  are  carried  on  by  both  authors 
and  actors.  To  hint  at  matters  of  the  kind 
is  reprehensible  enough.  but  to  paint  them 
in  broad  co  lors  before  an  Engl  ish-speakin« 
audience  is  a  still  more  serious  affair.  English  writ- 
ers and  players  are  like  children  toying  with  fire 
when  they  emulate  their  Gallic  masters  in  this 
Erection.  Everything  in  "  Pink  Dominos," 
from  the  stealthy  glances  of  Jotldn  Tubbs 
into  the  album,  in  the  first  scene,  until 
Rebecca  enters  the  old  man's  service,  when 
the  denouement  is  reached,  has  a  flavor  of  coarseness 
which  makes  the  immoraliiy  of  the  theme  plainer 
and  more  offensive.  The  lightness  and  suppleness  of 
the  French  tongue,  and  its  wonderful  aptness  to  con- 
ceal and  yot  suggest  what  it  is  meant  to  convey,  are, 
of  course,  wantiuic  in  Mr.  Alberry's  version 
of  "Los  Domiuos  Roses."  And  what  is 
yet  more  singular  is  that  while  the  adapter  has  not 
sought  to  do  much  with  the  dialo^e  of  his  adaptation, 
he  has  not  attemx>ted  to  mridify — or  at  least  has  not 
succeeded  in  modifying — the  Parisian  dhnnx  of  each 
a'-t  so  as  to  make  it  accord  with  the  exactions  of  an 
Euglish  play-ffoer.  Hence,  both  the  second 
and  third  acts,  la.st  evening.  closed  heavily,

elaborate  description  superfluous.  *'  Piuk  Dominos" 
reminds  one,  at  the  outset,  of  Goldooi'a  "  Carnival 
of  Venice,"  and  the  wliole  secuud  act  is  but 
an  imitation  of  "  Forbidden  Fruit."  which. 
as  we  need  not  remind  the  habitnal  reader, 
was  an  olla  podrida  of  the  most  composite  character.

RELIGIOUS  ASSEMBLIES. 


RATIONALISM  IN  GERMANY. 

ITS  RAPID  DECLINE  IN  THE    UNIVERSITIES — 
•      THE  EFFECT  OF    GERMAN    THOUGHT     ON 
WESTERN     VIEWS — STRUGGLES     IN     THE 
REALMS  OF  THOUGHT — A     LECTURE     BE- 
FORE THE  CHAUTAUQUA  ASSEMBLY. 

Fairpoint;,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  16.— Rev.  Joseph 
Cook,  in  openinfc  to-day,  in  answer  to  a  ques- 
tion, gave  his  opinion  of  Chautauqua.  It  is, 
said  he,  an  achievement — a  promise  of  great 
things.  The  central  thought  in  this  great  Sum- 
mer university  is  to  catise  the  student  of  the 
Bible  to  study  natural  science,  and  the  student 
of  natural  science  to  study  the  Bible.  Under 
the  culture  of  Chautauqua,  which  is  not'  a 
university  in  the  German,  or  English,  or  even 
in  th©  American  sense;  but,  nevertheless,  a 
university  which  will  shorten  the  reign  of  small 
politicians,  and  of  small  things  of  all  kinds. 
Mr.  Cook,  after  answering  this  question,  pro- 
ceeded to  deliver  his  lecture  on  the  decline  of 
rationalism  in  the  German  universities,  and  the 
effect  of  German  thought  on  Western 
viewa  of  the  observance  of  .  the  Sab- 
bath. Mr.  Cook  said.  In  substance,  that 
it  is  a  suggestive  sign  of  the  times 
that  in  proportion  to  the  population  Great 
Britain  has  but  one  university  student  to  flvo 
in  Germany.  Modem  thought  comes  from 
Germany.  We  have  now  no  foreign  lands. 
Modem  thinkers  of  all  countries  are  coming  to- 
gether. In  recent  events  we  have  glimpses  of 
God's  hand  in  German  history.  Science  with- 
out earnestness  and  earnestness  without  science 
were  the  two  halves  of  German  thought 
a  century  ago.  Now,  to  ask  in 
Germany,  which  has  a  State  Church, 
whether  a  man  is  a  Christian  one  must  use 
expletives,  while  in  England  and  America, 
thank  God,  by  a  Christian  is  meant  a  converted 
man.  In  Germany  the  theological  student  is 
too  often  graduated  from  religion  rather 
than  in  it.  Theolock  once  said  to  me, 
*'  We  have  no  devotional  meeting  in 
Germany  worth  the  name."  The  Germans 
were  a  noble,  earnest,  and  sincere,  but 
religiously  neglected,  people.  They  had  suffered 
from  contagion  from  France — in  Paris — in  a 
week.  The  speaker  was  cured  of  all  intellectual 
respect  for  French  skepticism.  The  average 
France  is  not  Parisian,  and  yet  Paris  is  tVance. 
The  average  Paris  is  a  city  of  little  boys  of  ma- 
ture age.  There  is  nothing  good  In  Paris,  but 
elegance.  Eternity  is  not  visible  from  it.  Ger- 
many was  for  a  hundred  years  the  flghtiug 
ground  for  the  rabble  of  the  old  nations. 

ilr.  Cook  gave  a  sketch  of  the  history  of  Ger- 
many's struggles  on  battle-fields  and  in  the 
realms  of  thought.  WTien  in  Cincinnati.  Chi- 
cago, and  St.  Louis,  the  peasant  German  re- 
fuses to  support  religion.  Remember  that  Ger- 
many has  had  a  State  Church  for  500 
years.  Chriatlieb  says  that  for  200  years 
Christianity  has  grown  weak  from  the 
unitv  of  Church  aud  btate.  Lack  of  freo  dis- 
cussion gave  rise  to  German  rationalism.  Ger- 
man editors  write  with  nooses  around  their 
necks.  In  Germany  learned  men  who  have  any- 
thing to  say  are  invited  to  say  it  to  the  students 
of  a  German  university.  Rat'ionatistic  churches 
have  developed  Gernmn  rationalism.  Catholi- 
cism, covering  all  South  Gt-rmany,  has  also 
promoted  German  rationalitv  by  opposing  men 
of  correct  and  progressive  religious  hleas.  The 
preseut  German  empire  may  yet  defend 
these  idei^s  at  the  cannon's  mouth. 
Now,  in  the  most  learned  laud  of  the  globe — 
Germany — rationalism  is  patent  only  among  the 
.slightly  educated  claHses.  In  the  universities 
the  ration ali.** tic  lecture-rooms  are  empty,  and 
the  evaugelical  lecture-rooms  are  crowded. 
Berlin  is  theologically  led  by  Domer  and  other 
evangelical  men.  This  was  also  true  of  Leipsic 
aud  ilalle.  Leipsic  is  the  Princeton  of  Ger- 
many. At  Ueidelberg.  Scheukel's  lecture-room 
eoniuins  nine,  eight,  or  seven  students.  He  is 
thu  subtlest  and  most  dangerous  of  German 
skeptics,  Schenkel  was  steeped  with  beer  and 
permeated  with  tobacco  smoke.  Mr.  Cook  paid 
u  compliment  to  Theolock,  now  gone  from  this 
world.  Theolock  &aid  to  Mr.  Cook  :  "  Nobody 
run  deny  that  there  has  been  a  great 
reaction  against  rutioiKillstn  in  Ger- 
many." The  soul  of  a  (German  university 
i.s  fni'dom  to  teach  and  freedom  to  think.  Dor- 
iier,  of  Berliu.  s^iid,  iu  Genuanv,  if  a  man  is  a 
nmteriulist.  we  think  he  is  not  educated.  King 
William  and  his  v^ueeu  recently  entertained  an 
evangelical  alliance  from  Connecticut.  The 
Germans  are  serious  men.  We  should  feel 
kindly  toward  all  Germans,  and  we  should  en- 
courage the  formation  of  English-speaking  Ger- 
man churches.  Let  us  stand  oy  the  Ger- 
man Lutherans,  and  not  be  afraid  of 
denominational  peculiarities.  The  Ger- 
man is  naturally  one  of  the  most  re- 
ligious of  human  beings.  Wi*  must  gradually 
educate  Germans  to  observe  the  Sabbath  ;  but 
you  cannot  do  thi;*  till  you  teach  your  railway 
kings  not  to  run  their  trains  on  that  day. 
Little  by  little.  In  one  or  two  generations,  the 
Itermaiis  will  become  thoroughly  American- 
ized. It  was  divinely  intended  that  Christianity 
should  he  sifted  iu  th<^si;  latter  davs,  aud  that 
the  sifting  should  be  the  end  of  dou^Jt. 

Dr.  Vincent  said  at  the  close  :  "  Joseph  Cook 
has  been  a  great  blessing  In  Chautauqna.  God 
bless  him.  Let  us  give  him  the  Chautauqua 
salute."  Tlie  immense  audience  then  greeted 
him  with  the  wa\ing  of  handkerchiefs,  present- 
ing a  picturesque  s|)ectaclei  Kev.  Iiu  G.  Bed- 
well,  of  Buffalo,  then  Idtured  on  *'  Tlxe  Con- 
Hid  of  Ages."  At.7  P.  M..  in  the  hotel,  a  ban- 
quet was  given  by  the  Chautauqua  Alumni  As- 
sociation, at  which  brief  addresses  were  de- 
livered. At  8  o'clock.  J.  A.  Worden,  of  Sten- 
benville,  Ohio,  delivered  the  annual  address 
Ijefore  the  association,  after  which  there  was  a 
social  reunion,  with  music  and  fireworks. 


THE  SING  SING    CAMP-MEETING. 

IMPRESSIVE  SERVICES  ON  THE  GROUNDS — 
SCEXES  AKD  I>*CIDENTS — RELIGIOUS  EX- 
CITEMENT. 
The  third  day  of  the  Sing  Sing  Camp-meet* 
ing  opened  very  auspiciously  as  far  as  the  weather 
was  concerned.  Early  in  the  morning  carriaee  aad 
wagon  loads  of  people  began  to  arrive  at  the  grounds 
fi*om  the  surrouDdLng  towns,  aud  before  noon  tho 
number  in  attendance  hod  been  augmented  to  abou  i 
500.  making  tho  total  now  in  the  tents  and  eottagoa 
about  1,000.  The  regular  services  of  the  day  were 
opened  by  Eev.  Dr.  Porter,  of  Brooklyn,  who 
preached  a  rervent  sermon  to  a  largo  congregation. 
At  1  o'clock  a  children's  meeting  was  held  In  one  of 
tho  tents,  which  was  conducted  by  Brother  Ely 
and  Sister  W.  K.  Moore, -of  this  City.  While  the 
children's  meeting  was  hi^progress,  another  interest- 
ing exhibition  woa  going  eain  the  Duane  Methodist 
Episcopal  Prayer-meeting  tent  near  by.  Here  was  a 
very  full  meeting,  conducted  by  Dr.  Morehooso. 
The  distinctive  feature  of  the  occasion  was  the 
familiarity  with  which  the  Deity  was  approached. 
The  appeals  of  Dr.  Morehouse  to  the  contrite  sin- 
ners were  irresistible.  Youths  aud  maidens  rose  en 
fnasse  to  be  prayed  for.  and  the  fervent  entreaties  to 
God  of  the  earnest  brethren  for  the  souls  of  the 
penitents  generally  bad  such  an  effect  on  t^e  sinners 
themselves  that  it  brought  them  to  the  anxious  seat 
in  tears  and  tribulation.  The  last  convert  was  a 
delicate  dark-eyed  boy  of  perhaps  12  years.  Hla 
OTor-strained  sensibihtles  were  assidaoosly  worked 
upon  by  the  zealous  brethren  until  the  poor  boy, 
busting  into  a  passion  of  sobs  and  tears,  declared 
iove  for  Christ.  The  meeting  was  broaght  to  a  cul- 
minaing  point  by  a  very  extraordinary  prayer  de- 
livered by  Brother  Alexander  St«wart,  (colored,) 
of  Philadelphia,  who  has  for  several  years 
been  a  constant  attendant  at  the  Sing  Sing 
Camp-meeting.  When  he  began  his  prayer  his  voice 
and  thoughts  were  perfectly  tmder  his  control,  but  as 
he  advanced  the  emotional  temperament  peculiar  to 
the  negro,  and  the  worin  imagination  with  which  na- 
ture had  endowed  him,  combined  to  throw  Titm  into  a 
state  of  ecstacy  in  which  the  living  presence  of  the 
Creator  was  brought  so  forcibly  before  his  mind's 
eye  that  he  failed  to  express  hia  feelings  in  a  con- 
nected manner.  Daring  this  year's  meeting  so  far 
no  other  exhibition  of  old-fashioned  Methodism  has 
occurred. 

At  2  o'clock  a  meeting  woa  ox^ened  under  the  trees 
in  front  of  the  officiating  clergymen's  cottage.  It 
was  presided  over  by  Rev.  Dr.  Porter.  Rev.  Dr. 
Hawkhnrst  had  begnn  to  preach  a  sermon  when  the 
rain  commenced  falling  in  torreats,  and  his  audience 
had  to  flee  for  shelter.  The  meeting  waa  then  re- 
sumed in  a  frame  structure  known  as 
the  "Tabernacle."  Remarks  and  prayers 
were  made  by  aeveral  of  the  clergymen 
and  brethren,  but  they  did  not  partake 
of  the  enthusiastic  character  of  those  dehvered  at 
the  Duone  Prayer-meeting.  Among  the  exhorters 
waa  a  young  colored  man  named  Islay  Walden,  a 
student  at  the  Dutch  Reformed  Seminary,  at  New- 
Brunswick,  X.  J.  Services  were  also  held  in,  the 
evening,  which  were  largely  attended.  T^e  Widow 
Van  Cott  will  take  charge  of  the  services  to-d»v^  rfr- 
nuunlng  until  to-morrpw.  During  her  stay  she  will 
preach  several  times,  and  it  is  anticipated  that  her 
reputation  as  a  revivalist  will  attract  5,000  or  6,000 
hearers.  Several  hundred  conversions  are  also  ex- 
pecttd.  and  by  SaturdBy  every  tent  aad  eott^  on 


the  gtotmi,  it  is  believed.  wtU  be  occupied.  Of  the 
122  t«Qta  on  the  ground*  but  four  remain  yot  nn- 
rented. 

THE  OCEAN  GROVE  CAMPMEETI!(G. 

The  interesting  ceremonies  of  the  camp-meet- 
hig  In  the  woods  are  observed  at  Ocean  Grove,  N.  J., 
by  nearly  12,000  persons,  whose  homes  are  located 
in  distant  cities  throughout  the  country.  The  set" 
vices  were  opened  yesterday  morning  with  a  young 
people's  meettng  In  Dr.  Ward's  tent,  andameetingfor 
the  promotion  of  holiness,  led  by  Sister  E.  Smith. 
Both  were  well  attended.  At  the  pavilion  service, 
at  10:30  A.  M..  R«v.  W.  B.  Wood,  of  Phila- 
delphia, dehvered  a  sermon  from  Ephedans,  i.,  3, 
on  the  temporal  and  spiritual-  blessings  of  God. 
He  njged  his  hearers  to  avoid  the  disheartning  theory 
that  this  world  is  but  a  wilderness,  and  that  no  Joy 
but  that  mingled  with  sin  con  be  f  onnd.  He  said 
that  his  Bible  taught  him  tliat  one  of  the  heavenly 
places  in  Christ,  referred  to  in  the  text,  is  this  bright 
world  of  ours.  God  moons  us  to  be  hapoy  here  to 
the  best  of  our  abUlty ;  it  is  His  wish,  asweare  march- 
ing through  Immanuel's  ground  to  fairer  worlds  on 
h^h.  Every  one  could  make  a  heaven  of  their  own 
on  earth  if  they  would  put  their  trast  in  God  alone. 
Those  who  wanted  to  go  to  heaven  simply  to  escape 
the  toils  and  troubles  here  had  not  reached  any  very 
high  ideas  of  Christianity  and  religion.  God's  ^race 
and  mercy  could  lift  all  their  trials  from  their  mmds, 
and  show  them  the  clear  unclouded  pathway  to  the 
Celestial  City.  Dnrine  the  afternoon  an  alternation 
of  sunshine  and  thunder-storm  prevailed,  but  did  not 
disturb  the  attendaQc«  at  the  meetings.  At  3:30 
o'clock  Rev.  H.  B.  Bleeby,  of  Nassau.  New-Provi- 
dence, preached  to  a  la^e  number,  taking  his  text 
from  Acts  ix.,  6.  His  remarks  were  confined 
solely  to  what  Christ  expects  us  to  do  on 
earth,  what  constituted  the  duties  of  the 
Christian,  and  how  lukewarm  and  unreliable 
many  were  in  their  walks  with  God.  He  showed  that 
while  there  waa  a  great  revival  in  the  cause  of  Christ, 
not  ono-quarter  of  the  work  had  been  accomplished, 
and  closed  by  urging  a  closer  walk  with  God  for  God's 
cause.  In  the  evening  not  less  than  5,000  persons 
assembled  at  <he  pavilion  to  hear  Rev.  S.  H.  C.  Smith, 
who  preached  from  Romans,  xiii/,  10,  "Loveworketh 
no  ill  to  his  neighbor ;  therefore,  love  is  the  fulfilling 
of  the  law."  The  usual  prayer  and  exhortation 
meeting  followed.

the  Presidents  of  the  leading  boat  clubs,  for  a  meet-

teur  Oarsmen  outside  of  the  Metropolis.  The  dls- 
satisfactionjonthis  heodis  locally  wid-espread,  it  being 
considered  unjust  in  the  extreme  that  New- York  and 
surrounding  cities  and  towns  should  be  called  upon 
or  expected  to  furnish  first-class  crews  and  defray 
the  greater  part  of  the  expense  of  these  affairs  with- 
out receiving  a  corresponding  share  of  the  profits  to 
be  derived  from  them.  Locating  the  regatta  of  this 
year  at  Detroit,  where  it  Is  now  in  progress,  was  par- 
ticularly distasteful  to  the  boating  interest  here- 
about, and  was  the  Immediate  cause  of  the  coll  h«lng 
issued.  In  response  to  the  Invitation  of  the  Presidents,

THE  GRAND  DUKE  OPERA-HOUSE. 


FORMAL  OPENING  LAST  EVENING — AN  EVENT 
IN  BAXTER-STREET — THE  PROGRAMME 
PRESENTED  TO  THE  BOOTBLACKS. 
The  vicinity  of  Worth  and  Baxter  streets  ia 
hardly  the  place  in  which  a  stranger  would  expect  to 
find  an  opera-house,  but  not  only  is  there  one  there, 
but  it  bears  a  name  no  lesK  lofty  than  the  "  Grand 
I)nko !"  The  entrance  is  on  Worth-street,  two 
doors  from  Baxter,  and  over  the  gate  is 
a  large  block  sign,  upon  which,  in  letters 
of  gold,  appears  the  name.  The  pleasmv-soeker, 
having  entorod  this  gate,  descends  several  devious 
flights  of  wooden  steps,  and.  before  he  Is  aware  of  It. 
finds  himself  in  the  lobby.  Another  door  passed, 
and  the  auditorium  is  reached.  If  the  visitor 
happened,  however,  to  be  late  last  evening 
his  chances  of  passing  the  last  door  were 
not  th©  beat,  for  it  was  the  opening  night  at  the 
Grand  Duke,  and  great  waa  the  multitude  there 
gathered.  The  parquet  ana  dress  circle — there  are 
no  galleries  m  which  to  imprison  an  audience 
in  case  of  fire — will  seat  from  80  to  100 
according  to  the  estimate  of  the  manager,  but  he  did 
not  say  in  how  many  layers  the  audience  is 
usually  placed.  About  eight  wooden  benches 
constitute  the  parquet.  and  the  dress- 
circle  is  composed  of  as  many  more  raised  ones. 
The  decoration  of  the  room  has  'not  yet  been  com- 
pleted, nor  is  all  the  scenery  prepared.  There  are 
now  three  drop-curtains  for  use  In  parior.  kitchen, 
and  country  scenes.  These  are  permanent,  but  the 
shifting  scenes  are  the  ones  that  were  used  lost  year. 
It  is  believed  by  the  managers  that  everything  will 
be  in  readiness  in  the  course  of  a  few  days. 

The  programme  last  night  was  varied,  aud  opened, 
after  music  by  the  orchestra,  consisting  of  a  flute  and 
an  accordeon,  with  "  TJie  Wrong  Man,"  in  which 
Teddy  i  Sullivan  appeared  as  Harry  Pimbroke. 
George  Hawthorne  as  Alonzo  JBemeke,  and 
Miles  OReilly  as  UruUe  Xeddy.  In  this 
play  Pimbroke  and  Jitnneke  are  two  young 
dandle?  who  concluded  that  It  would  be  a 
good  joke  to  nlay  ceriain  tricks  upon  VneU  Neddy, 
who  is  a  gentleman  of  color,  and  a  dealer  in  kindling- 
wood,  but  they  seen  discover,  much  to  their  discoinn- 
ture  and  the  delight  of  the  audience,  that  they  have 
taken  "  The  Wrong  Man."  This  play  was  particularly 

£  leasing  to  an  urchin  who,  with  bis  blacking-box.  had 
nprovlsed  an  orchestra  chair.  Then  followed  Master 
Winn  in  his  "  great  contortion  act."  at  which  the  as 
tonishment  of  the  audience  knew  no  bounds.  Master 
McKay  sang  two  character  songs — "  Spitz  Dcwr"  and 
"  Since  Tenr  Learned  to  Slang  ' — and  woa  loudly  ap- 
planded.  In  the  play  "  Tom  and  Jerry 
Edward  Wesley  and  Pete  P.  Miles,  two 
colored  servants,  quarrel  for  the  possession  of 
Teddy  SoUivan,  a  '*  weary  traveler,"  and  finally  di- 
vide him  and  conduct  him  to  two  rooms  to  sleeps 
wonderment  among  the  audience,  and  a  voice, 
"  Golly  I"  Next  came  two  well-received  songs  by 
Michael  Casey :  a  play.  "Big  Four."  in  which 
George  Hawthorne.  Teddy  Sullivan,  P.  Miles,  Edward 
Warlcy,  and  Miles  O'Reilly  took  part  j  "  Original 
Dancing  Moke,"  by  Miles  O'Reilly;  comical 
Irish  tongs  by  Sinclair  Wilson,  and  an  overture  by 
the  orchestra,  which  closed  the  performance. 
Throughout  the  evening  the  auditors  were  hearty  in 
demonstration  of  thoir  approval  of  the  progranuno, 
and  the  applause,  reaounduig  to  the  street  above,  in- 
spired in  the  hearts  of  many  a  determination  to 
black  more  boots  and  sell  more  ' '  extras, "  and  so  be 
able  to  patronize  the  opera. 

The  house  is  under  the  general  management  of  Mr. 
Peter  Connors,  under  whom  are  :  Charles  FaUon, 
Business  Manager  ;  George  Hawthorne,  Stage  Mana-  ' 
ger,  and  John  Cotter.  Treasurer.  Teddy  Sullivan  la 
scenic  artist.  The  xishers  last  evening  were  Michael 
Keheler  and  John  HeCormick.  The  prognunme 
will  be  the  same  for  the  remainder  of  the  week.

New-Orleans,  La.,  Aug.  16. — ^A  special 
dispatch  to  the  Galveston  Newt  reports  the  oc- 
cnirenee  of  a  fight  in  Mezieo  recently  between 
the  Eiekapoos  and  Lipan  Indians,  in  which  17 
Lipans  were  killed.  Mexican  troops  are  con- 
centrating at  Camargo  opposite  Ringgold  Bar- 
racks. A  special  dispatch  from  Fort  Clark  to

Washinoton,  Aug.  16.— The  Department  of 
State  is  in  receipt^,  through  the  War  Departs 
ment,  of  a  copy  of  a  sworn  statement  made  by  a 
ranchman  named  John  M.  Iieary,  detailing  an 
account  of  an  attack  mode  upon  him  near  Camp 
Wood,  Edwards  County,  Texas,  by  a  body  of 
Ixuiians  led  by  a  Mexican.  On  June  21,  Leary, 
with  George  and  Bobert  Johnson,  was  at  work 
in  a  pasture  belonging  to  J.  B.  Johnson.  About 
2:30  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  the  Johnsons 
having  left  him  about  five  minutes  previously, 
Leary  found  himself  suddenly  confronted  by  15 
Indians.  Being  on  the  ground  beside  his  wag- 
on at  the  time  he  was  taken  completely  by  sur- 
prise, but  springing  to  his  feet  he  drew  his  re- 
volver and  commenced  firing  upon  those  near- 
e.st  him,  they  firing  in  return.  There  being  no 
retreat  for  him  he  kept  firing  upon  his  as- 
sailants until  he  was  severely  wounded  in 
the  right  wrist.  "When  they  saw  him  lake 
his  revolver  in  his  left  hand  they  charged  upon 
him,  but  on  his  succeeding  in  cocking  his  re- 
volver by  pressing  the  lock  against  the  wagon 
bed,  they  rushed  back  into  the  bushes,  he  firing 
his  last  shot  after  them.  Just  then  the  horse 
was  struck  by  a  bullet,  and  the  team,  consisting 
of  a  horse  and  a  mule,  started  off  on  a  run.  Be- 
ing thus  left  exposed,  Leary,  with  the  Indians 
in  piursuit,  started  after  the  team,  and  in  his  ef- 
forts to  stop  them  was  struck  by  the  wagon  pole 
and  severely  injured.  Taking  advantage  of  a 
wUd  sweep  made  by  the  team,  which  for  the 
moment  covered  him  from  the  eyes  of  his  pur- 
suers, he  dropped  into  a  dense  live-oak  thicket 
and  hid.  The  horse  falling  dead,  the  Indians 
soon  overtook  the  team,  cut  the  mule 
loose,  threw  a  lariat  over  his  head,  and 
retracing  their  ste^s  were  soon  in  front  of 
where  Leary  was  hidden  in  the  thicket.  Just 
then  George  Johnson  rode  into  sight,and  seeing 
the  Indians,  halted  and  fired  one  shot  at  them. 
As  soon  as  he  saw  they  meant  fight  he  wheeled 
bis  horse  and  galloped  off  to  the  camp  of  the 
Texan  Rangers,  two  and  a  half  miles  distant. 
The  Indians  then  held  a  hurried  consultation  in 
full  view  of  Leary,  and  from  their  dress  and 
appearance  he  is  satisfied  they  were  all  Indians 
with  one  exception,  a  man  about  25  years  of 
age,  who  was  undoubtedly  a  Mexicnn.  After 
their  hurried  council  they  started  off  precipi- 
tately due  west,  evidently  fearing  the  rangers, 
and  when  the  latter  rode  up  In  about  an  hour 
the  Indians  had  escaped. 

TRIAL  OF  SUPERINTENDENT  ELLIS. 

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  16. — In  the  Sen- 
ate this  morning  [Mr.  Chapman  continued  the 
argument  for  Ellis,  contending  that  only  error 
of  judgment  is  chargeable  in  thr  matter  of  the 
Third-Avenue  Bank.  He  hoped  for  the  passage 
of  an  amended  law  which  wq^d  have  the  new 
provision  authorizing  the':«nerging  of  small 
banks  in  larger  ones.  He  closed  by  drawing  a 
sketch  of  the  kind  of  man  it  seemed  was  re- 
quired by  the  prosecutiou  for  Superintendent  of 
the  Bank  Department  at  a  salary  of  $u,000  a 
year.  He  must  be  familiar  with  all  the 
Revised  Statutes  and  United  States  bank- 
rupt laws,  and  all  tho  decisions 
in  books  on  the  Bankrupt  law,  expert  account- 
ant, familiar  with  the  condition  of  all  banks  ; 
know  what  his  clerks  are  doing  ;  contents  of  ail 
books  and  papers  ;  value  of  all  real  estate  and 
bonds  and  mortgages  thereon  ;  also  prices  of 
stocks;  amount  of  cash  deposited  in  each  bank  ; 
amount  deposited  ;  amounts  paid  out ;  what 
Trustees  and  clerks  are  doing  ;  whether  any  of 
them  are  stealing  ;  whether  stocks  and  real  es- 
tate and  other  property  ia  going  up  or  down, 
and  how  much.  In  fine,  he  must  be  pos:>essed 
of  omniscience  and  foreknowledge  of  things  to 
come,  and  must  appoint  examiner.^  equally  qual- 
ified with  himself,  aud  aU  the  expense  of  his 
department  is  to  be  $17,000  a  year. 

Sir.  McGuire  followed  Mr.  Chapman,  sum- 
ming up  for  Mr.  Ellis.  He  asked  why  tho 
prosecution  had  not  called  John  Mack,  who  pre- 
ferred the  charges  and  carried  on  the  prose- 
cution before  the  committee.  He  criticised  the 
words  of  Senator  Harris,  asserting  the  right  of 
the  Senate  to  dismiss  the  Superintendent  with- 
out triah  Govs.  Hoffman  and  Dix  called  tho 
attention  of  the  Legislature  repeotedly 
to  the  savings  banks,  and  asked  to 
have  the  laws  and  objectionable  charters 
amended.  Superintendents  Howell  and  Ellis 
have  also  repeatedlv  urged  the  Legishiiurtf  to 
have  the  charters  altered  for  the  greater  safety 
of  depositors.  As  long  as  the  savings  bank 
Trustees  keep  up  to  t£e  letter  of  the  law  the 
Superintendent  nas  no  power  to  interfere.  There 
had  been  no  change  in  the  securities  of  the 
Third-Avenue  Bank  between^  Iy73  and  1^75. 
But  the  cause  of  their  failure  was  being  loaded 
down  with  real  estate  which  shrank. 
A  Receiver  sold  some  stocks  higher 
than  Reid  valued  them.  The  speaker 
took  up  the  history  of  the  bank 
from  1867.  It  held  over  $1,000,000  in  .State 
bonds.  He  then  read  from  Howell's  report  of 
1872  recommending  Messrs.  Reid  and  Aldrich 
as  the  examiners.  The  idea  of  adding  to  the 
cost  of  the  banking-house  originated  in  186s. 
and  the  attention  of  the  Legislature  was  called 
to  it  by  the  then  Superintendent,  yir.  Schuyler. 

LONG  BRANCH  SER  VA  NTS  IN  TRO  UBLE 
Washington,  Aug.  16. — Since  the  season 
opened  at  Long  Branch  the  proprietors  of  the 
West  End  Hotel  have  been  missing  many  arti- 
cles of  value.  Through  the  efforts  of  Detective 
Dunne,  in  communication  with  Detectives 
McDevitt  and  McElfresh  of  this  city,  the  thieves 
have  been  discovered.  The  corps  of  colored 
servants  was  from  Washington,  and  having 
families  here  the  premises  of  the  suspected  par- 
ties were  searched  by  the  detectives,  and  car- 
pets, bed-clothing,  table-linen,  oil-cloth,  &c.,

three  champagne  baskets  closely  packed  with 
fine  table-linen,  silverware,  jewelry,  and  other 
articles  which  have  been  missed  by  guests  at 
that  hotel.  The  accused  parties  have  been  ar- 
rested, including  John  Matthews,  the  head 
waiter,  who  as  a  self-constituted  preacher  held 
religious  services  at  Long  Branch  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  servants  of  the  hotel  on  Sundays.

THE  KNIGHTS  TEMPLAR  CONCLAVE. 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  Aug.  16. — The  rumor

accommodations  of  this  city  are  inadequate  for 
the  number  that  will  attend  the  conclave  of 
Knights  Templar  to  be  held  here  Aug.  28,  is 
entirely  without  foundation.  The  Hotel  Com- 
mittee are  prepared  to  furnish  conifortable 
quarters  to  all  who  will  notify  them  that  they 
will  occupy  the  same.

The  trial  of  the  Central  Railroad  strikers,  be-

gineer, testified  tbat  his  train  was  stopped  at  Flag-

fied that  a  party  of  brakemen  got  upon  his  engine  at

not  interfere  with  it,  but  he  should  not  take  out  any

on  01  Three  Bridges  told  nim  to  flre  us  long  as  the 
engine  only  carried  a  mail  train  ;  saw  Knott  and  Mc- 
Daniels  get  on  the  train.  Edward  Champlin.  engineer, 
testified  tbat  Knott  and  another  man  came  to  his 
house  at  Somerville  on  the  lifith  of  July,  and  told 
him  they  had  warned  his  train  men  not  to  go  to 
work  tbe  next  day,  aud  they  had  come  to  warn  him 
not  to  take  his  train  out :  it  waa  Knott  who  told 
him ;  the  other  man  said  if  he  went  out  it  would  be 
at  his  own  risk ;  what  these  men  said  did  not  deter 
him,  and  he  took  his  train  out  next  morning  as 
usual. 

Wesley  Snyder,  baggace  master  on  McLaren's 
train,  testified  that  wbt-n  the  train  stopped  at  Three 
Bridges  the  men  notified  him  not  to  work  next,  but 
said  if  it  was  a  mail  train  he  could  go  out  with  one 
car ;  he  asked  tbem  if  they  went  well  armed, 
and  Knott  showed  a  plstoL  Geoige  Lovell, 
fireman    on    Core's    train,    gave  similar  testimony. 

Benjamin  T.  Harris,  station  agent,  testified  that  on 
July  -5  the  men  nuthied  him  not  to  allow  any  but 
tbe  mail  traui  to  run  out,  and  that  to  have  oxdy  one 
car ;  when  they  attempted  to  send  out  a  passenger 
car  with  the  mail  car  a  crowd  of  bndcemen  sur- 
rounded tbe  car,  and  said  it  should  not  go  out ;  saw 
Knott  there ;  the  brakemen  took  possession 
of  a  car.  and  kept  it  for  use  until  the 
miUtary  came.  Samuel  S.  Meyers,  freight  conduc- 
tor, testified  that  he  saw  Knott," Shine,  Schwartz,  and 
others  shove  a  passenger  car  away  from  a  mail  car 
and  on  to  a  siding  at  Phillipsburg  on  Julv  25. 
Ryner  Rowland,  telejn'aph  operator  at  White  Ktouse, 
testified  that  he  saw  Mr^.vem  speak  to  some  men 
in  the  yard  on  the  26th  ;  afterward  McGovem 
said  he  told  the  men  they  could  go  to  work,  but  it 
would  be  at  their  own  risk;  witness  regarded  the 
matter  as  a  Joke. 

John  Dean,  brakeman  on  train  Ko.  2*»,  testified 
that  as  his  train  was  runnini:  into  Somerx-iUe  on  July 
2t3  Knott  and  another  man  jumped  on  the  oar,  and 
notifiod  him  not  to  work  until  further  notice.  This 
closed  the  evidence  for  tho  prosecution.  Mr.  S. 
Schomp  moved  the  discharge  of  Andrew  Snyder  on 
the  ground  that  there  was  nothing  in  the  evidence  to 
show  that  he  was  connected  with  the  strike.  Feud- 
ing the  motion,  the  court  adjourned. 


THE    CITY    lU: PUBLICANS.' 


A  ROW  IN  THE  FIFTEENTH  DISTRICT — ^A  CON- 
TEST FOR  THE  PRESIDEN'CY  OP  THE  ASSO- 
CIATION— THE  ELECTION  POSTPONED. 

The  attempt  to  hold  a  special  primary  elec- 
tion by  the  Fifteenth  Assembly  District  Republican 
Association  last  evening,  for  the  purpose  of  filling 
the  vacant  Presidency,  resulted  in  a  failure. 
Shortly  after  being  called  to  order,  the  mem- 
bers adjourned  amid  the  wildest  confusion, 
iu  consequence  ot  a  disagreement  between 
the  cont  ending  factions  on  tbe  question  of 
the  appointment  of  an  Inspector  of  Election.  The 
election  was  to  have  been  held  at  Xo.  352  West 
Thirty-fiftb-street,  and  it  'was  officially  announced 
that  the  polls  would  open  at  7  P.  M.  and  close  at  10 
P.  M.  The  candidate  of  the  anli-Leask  party  was 
Mr.  William  Montgomerj',  his  opponent  being  Mr. 
Oliver  Davis.  The  partisans  of  both  gentlemen 
were  present  at  an  early  hour  in  large  numbers, 
and  it  was  verj'  eNident  from  their  demeanor 
and  heated  conversation  that  the  contest  would 
be  an  exceedingly  bitter  one.  I'romptly  at  7  o'clock 
Mr.  A.  V.  Canheld,  Vice-President  of  the  as.sociation, 
one  of  the  most  outspoken  of  tlie  party  opposed  to 
the  Leask  adminisl  r.ition,  called  the  meeting  to 
order,  and  aunounced  that.  Ijffore  proceedine  to 
elect,  it  would  be  neceasar>-  to  appoint  a  tiiird  Inspec- 
tor of  EleL'tioD,  according  to  the  reauirements  of  the 
constitution.  The  antagonists  of  tno  Leask  faction 
thereupon  intimat<?d  that  the  choice  of  a  man  should 
be  theirs,  in  consideration  of  the  fact  that  the  other  two 
inspectors  were  closelv  identified  with  the  interests 
of  the  Leask  party,  ^flie  proposition  was  received 
with  a  storm  of  hooting  and  hissing  on  the  part  of 
Mr.  Davis'  friends,  and  a  disgraceful  wrangle  ensued. 

Mifhael  Roche,  a  Deputy  Weigher  in  tho 
Custom-hoDSe.  announced  himself  as  a  self- 
appointed  inspector.  As  a  preliminary  to  enter- 
ing upon  the  i>erformance  of  his  'duties,  this 
geiitlemim,  divesting  himself  of  his  coat, 
assumed  a  strikingly  bellieerent  attitude ;  but, 
after  a  brief  parley  with  a  mild  but  de- 
termined policeman,  witlidrew  his  claims  to  the 
office  and  subsided.  At  this  juncture  somebody's 
motion  to  adjourn  waS  put  by  the  Chairman,  but  wag 
bowled  down.  Geor-^e  Herman.  Chairman  of,  the 
Inspectors  of  Election,  proclaimed  that  the  election 
would  go,  on  anyhow.  The  anti-l>ask 
men.  however.  were  determined  to  have 
representation  in  the  Btiard  of  Inspectors 
of  Election,  and.  with  that  end  in  \iew,  one  of  tbem 
made  a  motion  to  adjourn,  which  wa.s  declared  car- 
ried. Tbe  Leask  faction  then  went  to  Wagner's 
Hall,  in  West  Thirty-six th-street.  to  hold  an  election. 
On  Rrri%inK  there  they  decided  to  postpone  further 
action.  Up  i">  a  late  hour  groups  of  excited  mem- 
bers congregateii  at  the  street  comers  to  discuss  tho 
aCTairs  of  tijo  ass'jciation.  One  old  member  was 
paiticularly  luad  in  his  denunciation  of  Mr.  Leask, 
the  late  President,  charging  that  gentleman  with 
running  the  association  for  his  personal  benefit,  and 
alleeiup  that  he  had  carried  the  primary  elections 
with  the  aid  of  Fourth  Ward  rowdies. 


an  held  so  high  and  honorable  In  CaUfomla,  hsv*, 
any  manner,  given  to  the  Mexicans  tbe  hint  that 
there  is  any  consideTmble  desire  tn  C&lifoml&.  or 
elsewhere  io.  the  Cnltad  Statea.  In  favor  of  annexa- 
tion of  nny  part  of  Mexico,  they  have  not  represented 
the  public  sentiment,  have  themselves  been  deceived.

be  ready  to  join  an  expedition  ol  that  uatoreis 
possible.  Bnt  there  Is  no  danger  of  nor  chance  for

VISIT  OF  COXXECTICVT  MILITIAHEK. 
The  First  Re^meut  of  the  Connecticut  Na- 
tional Guard,  3S0  in  number,  which  left  Hartford  on 
Wednesday  evening,  on  the  steamer  Granite  State, 
on  an  excursion  to  this  City,  arrived  at  Long  Branch 
yesterday  morning  at  9  o'clock,  and  encamped  on 
the  lawn  in  front  of  the  United  States  Hotel.  The 
regiment,  which  is  commanded  by  CoJ,  Tyler,  was 
accompanied  by  Gen.  Smith,  Commander  of  the 
brigade  to  which  the  regiment  belongs,  and  the  fol- 
lowing members  of  the  Second  Battalion  of  the  Sec- 
ond Massachusetts  R^ment,  of  Springfield  :  Lieut.- 
Col.  K.  J.  Hamilton.  Major  B.  F.  Bnd^s.  Adjutant 
C.  W.  MutelL.  and  Paymaster  J.  F.  C-ordee.  After 
partaking  of  luncheon,  a  fall-dress  parade  took  place, 
which  concluded  in  a  violent  rain-storm,  tliat  made 
the  march  to  the  denot,  where  cars  were  waiting  to 
convey  the  men  to  this  City,  a  very  disagreeable  un- 
dertaking. They  arrived  in  this  City  by  the  3  o'clock 
train,  and  were  escorted  to  Union-Rquare  by  the 
Ninth  Kegiment.  Tliere  both  regiments  were  re- 
viewed by  Gen.  Vilmar  and  staff,  and  presented  a 
fine  appearance,  executing  the  various  military  move- 
ments with  much  precision.  The  reWew  concluded. 
they  marched  up  Madison-avenne  to  Twenty-sixth- 
street,  and  thence  to  the  armory  of  the  Ninth  Regiment, 
where  a  collation  was  served.  After  resting  for  a 
sliort  time,  they  then  proceeded  under  the  escort  of 
the  Ninth  Regiment  to  Gilmore's  Garden,  which  they 
had.  been  in\'ited  to  attend  by  the  managers  of  the 
garden.  In  honor  of  the  visit,  and  as  a  compliment 
to  the  local  Militia,  a  grand  mihtary  prograumie  waa 
interpreted.  In  addiiion  to  tlie  rendering  of  Beveral 
very  jiopular  selectii'iiii.  and  a  very  fine  "  Exhibition 
Quadrille,"  bv  the  bund,  untler  Mr.  "Pat"  Gilmore's 
leadership,  Mr.  Arbuckle  played  several  comet  solos 
that  were  enthusiastically  received.  Miss  Sallie  Keber 
sang  Pattisou's  "  Vocal  Waltz."  which  was  awarded 
an  encore,  and  Mr.  W.  T.  Carleton  sung  Adam's  "A 
Warrior  Bold."  The  rceiment  departed  for  borne 
shortly  after  midnight,  taking  a  boat  from  the  foot  of 
Twenty -third-street.  ■

TmjBSDAV,  Aug.  16— P.  M. 
Speculation  on  the  Stock  Exehanga  to-day 
was  more  nctivo  than  for  a  long  tUuo  past,  and 
at  intervals  the  dealings,  which  reached  the  un- 
nsuallv  large  aggregate  of  220,000  shares, 
were  attended  by  great  excitement  The  mar- 
ket exhibited  a  very  strong  undertone,  and  al- 
though occasionally  prices  yielded  under  sales 
to  realize  profits,  a  sharp  recovery  invariably 
ensued.  The  advance  for  the  day  ranged  from 
1-2  to  Slut*'  cent.,  with  Lake  Shore,  Western 
Union,  and  Michigan  Central  as  the  features 
both  in  point  of  activity  and  improvement, 
those  stocI:s  rising  "Jig,  '2~s,  and  3%  ^i*  cent, 
respectively.  Lake  Shore  rose  from  545,3  to 
5034  under  purchases  ot  round  amounts,  the 
highest  price  being  attained  shortly  before  the 
close  of  business.  "Western  Union  amid  consid- 
erable excitement  advanced  to  78 'g,  the  upward 
movement  being  stimulatc'l  by  the  efforts  of 
the  shorts  to  cover  and  for  fresh  purchases  for 
the  long  account.  The  course  of  the  stock  is 
watched  with  great  interest,  and  continued  ac- 
tivity and  wide  fluctuations  are  expected  in  the 
immediate  future.  Michigan  Central  was 
prominent  In  the  dealings,  advancing  from  50-^ 
to  531^,  and  reacting  only  a  fraction  at  the 
close.  ~- The  Western  shares  were  next  iu  point 
of  intenjst.  Rock  Island,  North-westeru,  and 
St,  Paul  being  actively  traded  in  anil  recordinff 
a  sharp  advance.  Toward  the  dose  the  coal 
stocks  showed  much  strength,  especially  for 
Delaware,  Lacliawanna  and  Western.  In  the 
final  sales  the  reaction  in  the  general  list  from 
the  highest  pointof  the  day  was  Ig  to  %  '$''  cent.

1,018  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph. 

Lake  Shore  advanced  from  ~}-k^s  to  5634,  and

The  committee  appointed  to  examine  into  the 
afTairs  of  the  Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal  Com- 
pany have  presented'  their  repor:,  which  is  of 
a  favorable  character  as  reganls  the  pres- 
ent condition  and  future  prospects  of  the 
corporation.  The  recent  embarrasments 
of  the  company  are  ascribed  to  the 
depression  in  the  coal  trade.  The 
committee  are  evidently  imbued  with  the  be- 
lief that  should  hi;her,  or  as  they  term  it, 
reasonable,  rates  for  coal  prevail,  the  Delaware 
and  Hudson  Canal  Company  is  assured  of  a 
prosperous  future. 

The  money  market  continues  easy  and  the 
supply  offering  to  call  borrowers  Is  still  in 
excess  of  th'j  demand  at  233  i*  cent,  on  stock 
collaterals,  and  at  ll^  "  2  t*  cent,  to  the  Govern- 
ment bond  dealers.  Prime  mercantile  paper

The  foreign  advices  report  a  strong  market  at 
London  for  Consols,  which  advanced  to  and 
closed  at  05l4295''g  for  both  money  and  the 
account.  United  States  bonds  were  also  strong, 
with  a  fractional  improvement,  closing  at  105 1^3

From  Paris  we  have  advices  that  sevexal  failures

Distriet  Attorney  Phelps,  who  Is  smnmerlng 
at  Wftteh  mn,  B.  L.  TQaterday  sent  to  Chief  Clerk 
Osrk.  by  spe^aX  messengfir,  «  letter  stathig  that  he 
bad  been  in  eonuonnlcatioii  with  Mr.  Wheeler  H. 
P«ckham  respecting  the  indictments  against  William 
£.  King,  and  that  it  was  determined  to  enter  a  nolle 
prosequi  in  each  of  the  indictments^ .  In  aeoordsnca 
with  these  instructions.  Mr.  Clai^  had  the  following 
Indorsement  written  on  each  of  the  14  indictments 
agfdnst  TfJTig ; 

At  the  reqaest  of  '■  the  Attomey^General,  the 
Corporation  Counsel,  and  Mr.  Peokham,  special 
-counsel  for  the  people. -as  expressed  in  the  letter  of 
the  latter  to  the  IHstdot  Attorney,  dated  Ang.  14, 
1.S77,  a  nolle  proseoni  is  entered,  with  leave  of  the 
court  upon  this  Indietmrat,  as  to  William  £.  King. 
BENJAMIN  K.  PHELPS.  District  Attorney. 

per  Moses  P.  Ci*AaK,  Chief  Cleark. 

Aug.  16.  1877. 

The  indictments>-were  then  taken  into  the  Court  of 
cjeneral  Sessions,  where  Judge  Sutherland  ordered  a 
nolle  prosequi  to  be  entered  on  each. 

The  indictments  against  King  are  all  for  obtaining 
money '  by  false  pretenses,  and  chu^e  the  accused 
find  his  "Ring''  confederates  with  getting  large 
gums  of  money  from  the-Clty  Treasury  by  obtidnlng 
the  signature«  of  A.  Oakey  Hall,  Mayor,  and 
^Vilson  SmalU  Deputy  Superintendent  of  Sujy- 
pUes  and  Repairs,  to  fraudulent  bills  of 
Andrew  J.  Garvey  '  Bn4  Ingeraoll  Se  Co. — 
the  former  forrsnpplies  used  m  the  alteration  of  the 
aqueducts,  the  latter  for  carpets  and  furniture  al- 
lf>g:ed  to  have 'been  supplied  to  the  courts  and  public 
ofllces.  It  is  <3ibarged  in  the  Indictments  that  Tweedy 
Connolly,  and.Xing  obtained  the  signature  of  Mayor 
Hall  to  all  of  IngersoU's  fraudulent  bills ; 
and  that  King  and  IngersoU  procured  the 
ce '  tificatlon  of  Wilson  Small  to  the  correct- 
ness of  Garrey's  claim  for  $126,707  59.  In  indict- 
ments Nog.  1  and  2,  King  and  IngerBolI  are  jointly 
Implicjvted ;  indictments  Nos.  3.  4,  5,  6,  7,  ana  8,  are 
acainst  William  M.  Tweed,  Richard  B.  Connollv,  and 
Willifuu  E.  Kinir:  in  Koa.  !>.  10,  21,  12,  13,  l4,  and 
15.  William  M.  Tweed,  Richard  B.  Connolly,  Peter 
B.  Sweeny,  and  William  E.  Kinfc  are  jointly  charged 
vrith  obtaining  money  under  false  pretenses. 

Kot  a  particle  of  information  could  be  obtained  of 
Hie  motives  which  Induced  the  Attorney-General,  the 
Corporation  Counsel,  Mr.  Peckham.  and  District  At- 
torney Phelps,  to  abandon  the  criminal  proceedings 
BCainst  Kinc,  as  all  the  gentlemen  named  were  ab- 
sent from  the  City.  In  the  absence  of  any  other  ex- 
planation, it  Is^  supposed  that  KlnK.  being 
anxious  to  return  to  this  City,  has 
either  made  restitution  in  money  or  volun- 
teered to  become  a  witness  for  the  people. 
King  was  one  of  Tweed's  many  prot^g^s.  He  orig- 
inally filled  a  minor  position  around  the  City  Hall; 
but  was  picked  up  by  Tweed  and  elevated  to  a  posi- 
tion in  the  Street  Department.  He  subsequent- 
ly became  the  confidential  agent  of  "  the  Boss  " 
iChen  the  latter  became  President  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Public  Works,  and  was  used 
as  the  medium  tSirough  which  Tweed  carried 
on  his  transactions  with  the  other  **  Ring"  thieves, 
and  the  channel  through  which  flowed  back  "  the 
Boss' "  share  of  the  spoils.  He  occupied  under 
Tweed,  in  the  Department  of  Public  Works,  a  poni- 
lion  similar  to  that  filled  by  Watson  under  Connolly 
In  the  Finance  Department,  and  wns  reputed  to  have 
received  a  considerable  share  of  the  "  EUng  "  plun-

KELLY'S  BECENT  APPOINTMENTS, 

.?.EMOTlNG  EPPICIEirr  OFPICESS  TO  MAKE 
ROOM  FOB  WARD  POLITICIANS — GENERAL 
CHARACTER  OP  gOME  OF  THESE  MEN — IN- 
DEPENDEJKT  DEMOCRATS  NOT  AT  ALL 
PLEASED  WITH  KELLY'S  ACTS. 

Independent  Democrats  exprew  a  ^ood  deal  of 
dissatisfaction  at  the-  action  of  John  Kelly  in  remov- 
ing efficient  employes-connected  with  the  Controller's 
I>epartment,  and  appointing  in  their  places  men 
whose  onlyrecommend^tiouis  that  they  are  active 
■ward  politicians  of  the. Tammany  stripe.  But,  of 
course,  Kelly  has  to  take^-care  of  his  "heelers,"  and 
where  they  are  concerned  the  public  interests  are  to 
him  a  secondary  consideration.  Besides,  the  men  re- 
moved were  suspected  of  bedng  friends  of  ex-Con- 
troller Green,  or  independent  vvoters,  and  Kelly  does 
not  want  any  such  people-  around  him,  how- 
ever eflflcient  they  may  be  In  their  respective 
spheres  of  duty.  Some  of  the  'appointments  made 
have  even  surprised  many  members  of  Kelly's  Gen- 
*ral  Committee.  They  think  that  better  selections 
might  have  been  made  from  their  ranks.  The  gen- 
eral character  of  some  of  the  men  recently  appointed 
may  be  gathered  from  what  follows : 

Daniel  Williams,  who  Is  appointed  Deputy  Collec- 
tor of  City  Revenue,  at  a  salary  of  $1,300  per  an- 
num, is  a  butcher  by  trade,  but  does  not  uow  follow 
that  respectable  •  occupation.  He  is  a  member  of 
Kelly's  Gei.e»*l  Committee,  a  professional  ward  poli- 
tidan,  and  well  knomm  in  sporting  circles  as  "Dandy*' 
Williams. 

John  Keenax^  the*  new  Clerk  of  Washington  Mar- 
ket, at  a  Mlary*  of  $1,200  per  annum,  keeps  two 
■rum  sbojM  in  theXleventh  Ward— one  on  the  comer 
of  Avenue  C  and  Eleventh-street.  He  has  served 
Tammany  Hall  faithfully  as  a  member  of  the  State 
Assembly,  and  is  a^inember  of  Kelly's  General  Com- 
mittee and  an  active, political  worker  in  his  "deo- 
Btrict." 

James  Carraher,  appointedtDeputy  Collector  In  the 
Bureau  for  Collection  of  the  City  Bew-enue,  at  a 
salary  of  $1,170  per  annum,  ds  a  Deputy  Sheriff,  a 
niember  of  Kelly's  General  Committee,  and  notorious 
as  a  ward  politician  of  the  olden  style. 

Albert  Elterich,  appointed  clerk  in  the  Bureau  of 
Collection  of  Arrears,  at  a  salary  of  $1,000  per  an- 
num, is  a  German  politician  of  the  Eighth. Assembly 
District,  who  has  always  been  so  eager  for  office  that 
"he  has  been  first  onx)ne  side  of  the  political  fence  and 
then  on  the  other.  He  suffered  defeat  in  hi*  district 
several  years  aeo  as  an  "Independent"  Bepuhllcan 
candidate  for  toe  AsaemMy. 

William  H.  McCabe  was  a  clerk  of  the  Common 
Council  until  Jan.  1  last,  when  he  resigned  for 
other  employment.  A  useful  politician  to  Kelly  in 
his  district  ne  lias  been  appointed  for  that  reason  a 
clerk  in  the  Controller's  offlce,  at  a  salary  of  $l,00O 
per  anntun. 

Daniel  Scully,  appointed  assistant  clerk  in  the 
Bureau  for  the  Collection  of  Arrears,  at  $1,000  per 
annum,  was  formerly  a  clerk  in  Port  I.  of  the  Super- 
ior Court,  and  was  removed  bv  County  Clerk  WaJsh. . 
He  is  an  active  worker  for  Kelly  in  the  Fourth  Ward,  ^ 
and  for  that  reason  has  been  rewarded. 

Xobody  seems  to  know  or  is  willing  to  give  any  In-  - 
fomuition  concerning  the  previous  employments  or 
antecedents  of  the  persons  whose  appointments  are 
offlciaUj"  recorded  in  the  Oity- Secord^  as  follows  : 

James  Doyle,  clerk  In  Controller's  ofBco.  at  a  salary 
of$1.000per  annum:  John  G.  Harper,  assistant 
.clerk  in  tiie  Bureau  for  the  Collection  of  Arrears,  at 
^1.000  per  annum  ;  Adam  EflBer,  messenger  in  the 
Bureau  for  the  Collection  of  Arrears,  at  $2  70  per 
day ;  John  P-  Gotildstmry,  clerk  in  Controller's 
"omce,  at  a  salary  of  $1,000  per  annum ; 
■Thomas  Daw  and  Michael  P.  Burke,  assistant  clerks 
in  the  Bureau  for  the  Collection  of  Arrears,  at  salar- 
ies  of  $1,000  e.vli  per  annum.  These  appointees 
are  1^  known  to  be  active  "  machine  "  politicians  in 
their  districts,  and  subservient  tools  of  the 
^ammanv  Hall  Committee  on  Organization. 
'3tU.  John  N.  Cornell  who  has  been  discharged  from 
.the  clerkship  of  Washington  Market  to  make  room 
ffor  Keenan.  the  Tammdny  rumseller,  is  at  a  loss  to 
amow  w  hy  he  was  removed,  and,  as  was  stated  in  The 
»TiMBS  of  last  Monday,  the  respectable  butchers  of 
(the  market  are  surprised  and  somewhat  indignant 
iat  his  treatment. 

I  Several  members  of  the  TammanvHall  General 
t  Committee,  commenting  upon  Kelly's  action  in 
Ixaaking  appointments,  express  views  that  do  not 
argne  well  for  harmony  tn  their  ranks.  They  say 
that  Kelly  has  "  lost  his  head  "  In  his  lear  of  losing 
JnJlnence  with  his  followers,  and  is  yielding  to  the 
clamor  for  place  of  the  worst  elements  tn  the  organi- 
zacion,  ana  the  more  respectable  portion  are  be- 
coming rapidly  alienated  from  him.  As  for  the  in- 
dependent Democratic  voters,  they  are  more  con- 
firmed in  their  hostility  to  Tammany  Hall  than  they 
have  ever  been,  and  are  hopeful  of  victory  in  No- 
vember if  the  opposition  to  Kelly's  "machine"  is 
j  properly  organized

THE  LONa  ISLAND  SAVINGS  BANK. 

OONTXDEKCE  BESTOBIH) — ^A  STATEMENT  BT 
COUNSEL  IN  BEFEBENCE  TO  THE  AFFAIRS 
OF  THE  BANK. 

The  littJe  excttement  occasioned  by  the  rumor 
noneeming  the  condition  of  the  Long  Island  Savings 
Bank  had  almost  died  out  yesterday.  About  50  of 
the  5,000  depositors  called  at  the  bank  during  the 
day  and  drew  $10  each,  the  hiehest  sum  obtainable 
without  a  notice  of  60  days.  A  few  gave  notice  that 
they  would  withdraw  their  deposits  at  the  expiration 
of  60  days,  and  a  ntimber  of  large  depositors,  after 
consulting  with  the  Directors  and  reeeiving  satisfac- 
tory proof  of  the  soimd  condition  of  the  bank,  left 
without  drawing  any  money  or  giving  any  notice  of 
withdrawal.  The  following  adoltioiiAl  statement  in 
reference  to  the  affairs  of  the  bank  was  (riven  for 
publication  yesterday  by  the  bank's  counsel,  acting 
under  the  advice  of  the  Directors  : 

*'  It  is  perhaps  unneccessary  to  add  anything  to  ttie 
^qxlanatlons  which  have  already  been  made  con- 
cerning the  report  of  the  affairs  of  the  Long  Island 
Savings  Bank,  which  appeared  in  a  New- York  paper 
of  Wednesdav,  and  yet  a  brief  supplemental  explana- 
tion may  be  fustifled.  In  the  re^rt  of  the  Examiner 
the  cost  of  the  real  estate  belonging  to  the  bank,  at 
East  New-York.  is  put  at  $8,036.  while  the  report 
of  the  bank  made  to  the  department  six  months  later 
put  the  cost  of  the  real  estate,  besides  the  banking 
Wilding,  at  $12,657  20.  and  an  explanation  of  the 
discrepancy  between  these  two  sums  is  asked  for. 
It  is  tMs :  ^Vhen,  in  May,  the  Examiner 
made  his  report,  the  only  real  estate  besides 
the  banking  *)uilding  held  by  the  bank  was 
the  East  New -York  property,  the  cost  of  which  was 
the  amount  stated.  After  this  report  bad  been  made, 
however,  and  before  the  report  of  the  bank  made  in 
January  following,  another  piece  of  property,  situ* 
ated  in  Brooklyn,  had  been  sold  on  a  foreclostire 
of  a  mort^rage,  and  bid  in  by  the  bank  at  a  cost  of 
$4,621  29.  that  being  the  exact  amotmt  of  the  dis- 
crepancy Inferred  to.  Thus  it  is  seen  that  this  error 
occurrea  by  its  being  assumed  that  the  bank,  on  the 
Ist  of  January,  1877.  hadawjuirednootherproper- 
ty  beyond  that  which  it  held  in  May.  1876.  Again  : 
The  bank  report  of  January,  1876,  states  the  amount 
of  cash  on  hand  and  on  deposit  to  have  been 
$45,544.  while  the  Examiner  in  May,  six  months 
later,  found  only  $13,534  cash  on  hand,  and  it '  Is 
stated  that  *  an  explanation  of  this  difference  of 
the  statements  of  cash  on  hand  is  needed.*  The 
simple  statement  of  these  facts  would  seem  to 
be  sufficient.  On  the  1st  day  of  January,  1876, 
Interest  became  due  to  depositors,  and  there  was. 
therefore,  then  on  hand  an  additional  amount  to  be 
appropriated  for  that  purpose  and  to  pay  depositors, 
tnere  being  usually  more  money  withdrawn  at  thst 
period.  All  this  amount,  excepting,  of  course,  a  sum 
sufficient  for  the  ordinary-  transactions  of  the  bank, 
was  invested  before  the  following  May,  it  being  the 
practice  to  keep  all  moneys  invested  not  required  for 
that  purpose.  This  disposes  of  the  only  points  of 
difference  pointed  out  between  the  two  reports,  and 
for  which  an  explanation'  seemed  to  be  required.  The 
investments  and  securities  of  the  bank  are  unexcep- 
tionable, the  onlv  ground  of  criticism  beinff  the  in- 
vestment in  the  Hanking  building,  which  shows  for 
itself,  and  in  regard  to  which  our  situation  is  not  un- 
like that  of  most  savings  bauks  of  modem  creation 
which  have  made  similar  investments." 


THE  SILK  OPERATIVES. 

FAXLtTRE     TO     EFFECT    A     COMPROMISE — THE 
STRIKE   NOT   YET   ENDED. 

About  100  of  the  striking  silk  Tveavers  lately 
employed  at  Messrs.  J.  N.  Steams  &  Co.'s  manufac- 
tory on  Ferty-second-street  and  Third-avenue,  held  a 
meeting  yesterday  afternoon  on  Flrst-arvenue,  near 
Forty-first-street,  to  devise  measures  for  ending  the 
unpleasant  situation  they  have  been  placed  in  by  the 
late  reduction  of  their  wages.  A  large  number  of 
these  operatives  were  tr^ned  weavers,  who  learned 
their  trade  in  mills  at  ^Manchester  and  other 
manufacturing  towns  in  England,  and  they  were  in- 
duced to  come  to  this  coimtr>'  by  the  represetations 
of  Messrs.  Steams'  acents  that  theywould  receive 
steady  employment  and  fair  wages.  They  feel  much 
mortified  at  the  successive  reductions  of  their  wages, 
and  say  they  wish  they  were  back  in  the  Old  Coun- 
try, or  somewhere  else  ont  of  New-York.  ITiey  say 
while  house  rent,  provisions,  and  nearly  all  the 
necessaries  of  life  are  nearly  as  hizh  as  they  were 
three  or  four  years  ago.  the  waces  of  the  operatives 
have  been  steatlUy  reduced,  until  they  find  it  barely 
possible  to  make  a  Uvihg.  They  are  aware,  tliey 
admit,  that  the  times  are  very  dull,  and  that  busi- 
ness of  nearly  all  kinds  is  much  depressed,  but  tbey 
think  an  unfair  discrimination  has  been  made 
against  their  class,  to  which  they  are  unwilling  to 
sul»ntt.  After  some  discussion  as  to  the  best  course 
to  pursue,  a  committee  of  10  was  appointed  to  wait 
on  the  proprietors  and  ascertain  whether  It  would 
not  be  possible  to  effect  a  compromise.  The 
deputatation  found  Mr.  Steam.'t  at  the  factory,  and 
after  representing  to  him  the  impossibility  of  making 
a  decent  support  ont  of  the  terms  to  which  their  pay 
had  been  rwiuced,  they  a.>iked  if  he  would  not  recon- 
sider the  matter  and  restore  their  old  wages,  or,  at 
lesst,  meet  the  weavers  ''halfway."  He  told  the 
girls  that  he  could  not  make  an' advance  of  1  cent, 
and  he  advised  them,  during  these  hard  times,  to  rent 
a  teneiDfnt-hou.se  in  common,  and  all  live  together. 

"  %Vhat  shall  wo  buy  the  furniture  with  (  "  they 
asked. 

' '  Oh,  you  can  do  without  furniture.  Yon  will 
have  to  live  on  the  floor  awhile."  He  al*io  told  them 
that  if  they  were  not  satisfied  with  their  pay  they 
could  go  to  Paterson  and  see  if  they  cotild  do  any 
better. 

AVhen  the  committee  returned  to  the  meeting  and 
reported  their  lack  of  success,  the  girls  gave  vent  to 
some  very  bitter  expressions,  and  resolved  to  con- 
tinue the  strike.  They  say  they  have  offers  of  as- 
sistance from  the  operatives  of  Paterson,  and  though 
the  latter  are  on  very  low  wages,  thev  can  still  do 
Bomething  for  their  fellow-laborers  in  5sew-York- 

VEATH  OF  CONST  J  y  TINE  BOLIANO, 
RESULT  OF  AN  ASSAULT  IN  MARCH  LAST- 
JACOB  RCSSO,  THE  ASSAILANT,  IN  PRISON 
TOR  FELONIOUS  ASSAULT. 
On  the  22d  of  March  last  Jacob  Busso  feloni- 
ously assaulted  an  Italian  named  Constantine 
Boliano,  at  No.  43  Sollivan-street,  and  upon  trial 
before  Judge  Glldersleeve  was  convicted,  and  sen- 
tenced to  State  Prison  for  three  years.  The  circum- 
stances were  these  :  Boliano  was  an  ice-cream  ped- 
dler, and  with  Russo  and  Joseph  Oberti  oc- 
cupied one  room  at  the  above  number. 
John  Boliano,  a  brother  of  Constantino,  oc- 
cupied an  adjoining  room.  Constantino  Boliano, 
according  to  Kusso's  statement,  owed  him 
$50.  After  trying  several  times  unsuccessfully  to 
collect  the  money,  Russo  mode  up  his  mind  to  com- 
pel its  pajrment  at  the  point  of  a  pistoL  At  11  o'clock 
on  the  night  of  March  *22,  his  two  room-mates  being 
asleep,  Rosso  arose,  and  goimr  over  to  Constantine 
Boliano'n  bed.  awakened  him,  and,  pointing  the  pb(tol 
at  him,  demanded  the  money.  A  scuffle  ensued,  and 
Russo,  after  vainly  attempting  to  discharge  the  pis- 
tol at  the  Italian,  clubbed  him  with  tt  until  he  was 
helpless.  Boliano  was  sent  to  Chambers-Street  Hos- 
pital, where  he  only  remained  a  couple  of  days,  and 
then  left  with  his  head  bandaged  carefully.  The  man, 
although  Boifering  the  most  intense  pain,  bore  it  in 
the  hope  of  recovery.  Bnt  his  condition  grew  gradu- 
ally worse,  and  on  the  7th  inst.  he  was  taken  to 
Roosevelt  Hospital  in  a  helpless  and  dying  state.  He 
lingered  there  for  three  days,  and  died  on  EViday 
last.  The  post-moriem  examination  showed  that  the 
skull  of  deceased  was  badly  fractured,  and^ad  apiece 
of  bone  a  third  of  an  inch  in  diameter  crushed  iu 
upon  the  brain,  and  thiit  particles  of  the  broken  bone 
had  worked  their  way  into  the  brain  and  produced  an 
abscess,  from  which  he  died.  The  Coroner's  Jury 
yesterday  returned  »  verdict  in  accordance  with  the 
above  facts. 

THE  POOL  OF  THE  TRUNK  LINES, 
A  story  was  printed  in  one  of  the  moming^ 
journals  yesterday  to  the  effect  that  because  the 
Canada  Southern  and  Wabash  Railroads  had  recently 
reduced  their  freight  rates,  the  pool  formed  by  the 
four  great  trunk  lines — the  Erie,  New- York  Central 
Pennsylvania,  and  Baltimore  and  Ohio — ^for  the  ai>- 
pbrtlonmcnt  of  westward-botind  freight,  would  in- 
evitably be  destroyed.  At  the  freight  offices  of 
the  Erie  Railway  it  was  said  that  -the  newspaper 
which  printed  the  stoiy  was  "ma^ng  a  mountain 
out  of  a  mole-hill."  :>tr.  Albert  Fink^  the  Commis- 
sioner of  the  trunk  lines,  was  not  at  his  office  in  the 
afternoon,  bnt  a  Times  reporter  was  informed  there 
that  the  reduction  of  rates  by  the  two  "Western  rsU- 
roads  would  have  no  effect  upon  the  agreement  be- 
tween the  trunk  lines..  There  was  said  to  be  no 
agreement  concerning  the  apportionment  of  freleht 
between  the  Western  railroads,  although  a  meeting 
to  f<y:m  a  pool  was  held  recently  by  representatives 
of  some  of- those  roads  at  Niagara  Falls.

^gNOT  A  CASE  OF  ASIATIC  CHOLERA, 

Mrs.  Mary  Wance  died  on  Wednesday  night 
at  9:05  at  her  residence.  No.  211  Second-street,  and 
Dr. .  Moriti,  her   attending  physician,   sent  In  word 
yesterday  morning  to  the  Board  of  Health  tha^  she 
had  died  of  Asiatic  cholera.  This  catised  consideiiable 
excitement,    and    Dr.  Nagle,   Deputy    Register    of 
Records  of  the  Board  of  Health,  sent  a  notice  to 
Dr.    MoritE  requesting   a    statement  from   him  of 
the  case.    In  reply,  Dr.  Moritz  sent  Dr.  Nagle  a  re- 
■port,  In  which,  after  describing  the  (symptoms,  he 
said  it  was  his  firm  belief  that  the  case,  "if  it  was 
not,  at  least  resembled,  one  of  Asiatic  cholera."    The 
'  ease  was  eiven  in  charge  of  the  Coroner,  and  Deputy 
Coroner  SIcWhinnie  yesterday  afternoon  held  a  post-

vBtated  by  the  Deputy  Coroner  as  follows  :

cessful,   and   the   outsiders  were  therefore  in  high 
glee.    In  the  mutual  pools  the  value  of  the  winning 
tickets  were  as  follows:    first  race — dead  heat — 
M^^enta  $4  10,  Spartan  $12  10;  second  race — Vera 
Cruz   $13  80;   third  race— Madge  .  $59  10 ;  fourth 
race— Redding  $9  70 ;  second  heat,  $6  50. 
THE  aBINSTEAD  BTAKEa. 

The  first  race  was  the  Grlnsteod  stakes  for  2-year 
olds,  one  of  the  new  fixed  events  OQened  last  year. 
There  were  30  nominatians,  and  five  of  them  fiuied 
the  starter  as  follows  :  F.  Smythe's  Wade  Hampton, 
George  L.  Lorlllard's  Dtike  of  Magenta,  Pierre  Loril- 
lard's  Spartan  and  Bertha,  and  James  A.  GMnstead's 
by  Alarm,  dam  by  War  Dance.  In  the  pools,  just 
before  the  start,  the  Duke  of  Magenta  brought  $200, 
Herre  Lorlllard's  pair  $85.  Grtnstead's  colt  S55, 
and  Wade  Hampton  $26.  When  they  were  gathered 
in  the  ehute,  Dake  of  Magenta  beean  to  cut  up 
as  usual  and  delved  the  start,  and  when  there  was 
an  opportunity  to  get  him  oflP  Wade  Hampton  held 
back,  and  so  there  were  several  false  attempts. 
Finally  the  -flsg  fell,  with  Grinstead's  colt  in  the 
lead,  Bertha  second,  Duke  of  Magenta  third,  Wade 
Hampton  fourth,  and  Spartan  fifth.  As  they  ran 
down  the  shute  Duke  of  Magenta  passed  Bertha,  and 
assumed  the  second  place,  but  Grinstead's  colt,  turn- 
ing into  t^e  regular  track  at  the  half-mUe  pole,  was 
alengthandalialf  in  advance  of  Duke  of  Magenta,  and 
there  was  also  half  a  length  of  daylight  between  the 
latter  and  Bertha,  while  Spartan  had  passed  Wade 
Hampton,  and  was  lapplnghis  stable  companion.  The 
pace  was  very  fast  round  the  lower  turn,  and  the 
Grinstead  colt  stUl  maintained  his  lead  of  Magenta^ 
while  Spartan  had  passed  Into  the  third  place 
There  was  half  a  length  of  daylight  between  all  of 
them  until  they  turned  Into  the  home  stretch,  when 
Magenta  closed  upon  the  Grinstead  colt  very  fast, 
and  was  in  the  lead  at  the  furlong  pole,  while  Spar- 
tan was  soon  second  at  Duke  of  Magenta's  tail. 
Under  the  whip,  Spartan  came  and  closed  rapidly  at 
every  jump,  and  when  they  reached  the  goal  It 
looked  from  the  reporters*  stand  that  the  Duke  had 
won  it  by  a  head,  but  the  judges  gave  it  a  dead  heat. 
Grinsteads  colt  was  third,  two  lengths  behind. 
Bertha  fourth,  and  Wade  Hampton  fifth.  The  time 
was  1:16^— very  fast. 

Georjre  Lorillard  being  sick  and  not  on  the  course, 
it  was  decided  by  his  representative  and  Pierre  Loril- 
lard to  divide  the  stakes,  and  with  it  the  pools,  so 
tnat  those  who  had  ticket*  in  the  mutual  pools  on 
Duke  of  Magenta  16st  money,  as  he  was  a  great  fa- 
vorite, while  the  Spartan  tickets  were  worth  over 
$12. 

THE  MILE  AST>  THREK-<iUARTEBS. 

The  next  event  to  be  decided  was  a  dash  of  a  mUe 
and  three-quarters  for  all  aces,  which  brought  out 
four  competitors,  in  Carr  &  Co.'s  \ieeroy,  George  L. 
Lorillard  8  Tom  Ochiltree.  L.  A.  Hitchcock's  Glas- 
gow, and  James  T.  Williams'  Vera  Crux.  In  the 
pools.  Ochiltree  brought  $375,  Vera  Cruz  $175,  Vice- 
roy $65,  Glasgow  $45.  When  the  flag  fell  they  were 
off  well  together,  but  "none  of  them  cared  to  msie  the 
running.  Finally.  Lakeland  sent  Glasgow  to  the 
front,  and  when  tney  entered  the  regtilar  trark  at  the 
hn  If -mile  pole  he  was  leading  four  lengths,  and  Vice- 
roy was  second,  four  lengths  before  Ochiltree,  who 
was  thesame  distance  inadvance  of  Vera  Cruz.  Thev 
came  around  the  lower  turn  in  this  manner,  all 
stnmg  out.  with  Ochiltree  and  Vera  Cruz  tmder    a 

fmll,  and  when  tbey  passed  the  judjces'  stand,  flnish- 
ng  the  first  three-quarters  of  a  mile,  Glas^w  was 
showing  two  lengths  in  advance  of  Vicen»y, 
and  he  four  lengths  in  front  of  Tom 
Ochiltree,  who  was  the  same  distance  ahead 
of  Vera  Cruz.  Going  rotmd  the  turn  the  pace  be- 
came a  little  better,  and  the  rear  ones  began  to  close 
upon  Glasgow,  who  was  but  a  length  and  a  half  in 
front  at  the  quarter  p4»le,  Viceroy  still  second ,  two 
lengths  ahead  of  Ochiltree,  who  was  the  same  dis- 
tance before  Vera  Cruz.  Going  along  the  back 
stretch  tbey  ran  still  faster,  and  Viceroy  moved 
closer  upon  Glasgow,  Viceroy  getting  to  his  tail ; 
-Imt  at  the  half-mile  pole  Glasgow  )y[ot 
away  once  more,  and  led  at  that  point 
a  length  and  a  half.  Viceroy  still  second, 
and  three  lem^ths  away  from  Ochiltree,  with  half  a 
length  of  daylight  between  the  latter  and  Vera  Cruz. 
As  they  came  round  the  lower  turn  the  race  com- 
menced as  Vera  Crvz  moved  up  to  Ochiltree  and  the 
pair  began  to  close  on  the  leaders.  In  the  meantime 
Viceroy  had  passed  Glasgow  and  turned  Into  the 
homestretch  with  the  lead,  which  he  maintained  to 
the  furlong-pole,  but  th»»  other  three  were  in  a  line 
close  upon  him.  Then  Ochiltree  and  Vera  Cmz  came 
to  the  front,  and  there  was  a  close  struegle  between 
them,  resulting  in  a  victory  for  Vera  Oruz  by  half  a 
head  m  the  slow  time  of  '.h  17.  Four  lengths  behind 
came  Viceroy,  third,  two  lengths  tn  front  of  Glasgow. 

THE  MILE  AND  AN  EIOHTH. 
The  third  event  wasa  dash  of  a  mile  and  an  eighth, 
with  allowances  to  beaten  horses  and  maldena,  for 
which  there  were  eight  entries,  but  only  five  of  them 
sported  colors,  ^iz.:  Bowie's  Mary,  Georw  Lorll- 
lard's Ambush.  LongstalTa  Higgins.  Smythe's 
3Iadge,  and  McDaniel's  Sister  of  Mercy ;  and 
this  was  the  third  dump  for  the  back- 
ers of  the  favorites.  In  the  final  pools 
Illggins  became  the  favorite,  and  brought  $215, 
Mary,  $210  ;  Ambush,  $200  ;  Sister  of  Mercy.  $1 15, 
and  Madge.  $100.  Tbey  were  started  from  the  fur- 
long pole,  and  when  the  flag  fell  they  were  all  off  to- 
gether, with  the  exception  of  Higgins,  who  was  last- 
Coming  up,  Mary  immediately  as.nnmed  the  lead, 
and  reached  the  stand  a  length  in  front  of  Madge, 
who  was  three  lengths  before  Sister  of  Mercy, 
who  was  a  length  ahead  of  Ambush,  he 
being  half  a  length  before  Higgins.  In  this 
order  they  went  round  the  turn,  bnt  Mary 
increased  her  lead  and  passed  the  quarter  pole  two 
and  a  half  lengths  before  Madge,  who  was  two  lengths 
ahead  of  Hi(Epna  and  Sister  of  Mercy,  while  Ambush 
was  in  the  rear.  As  they  raced  alom;  the  back  utretch 
Madge  closed  upon  Mary,  and  at  the  half-mile  pole 
the  latter  led  her  but  a  length  and  a  half,  and  at  the 
tall  of  Madge  was  Sister  ofMercy,  a  length  in  front 
of  Hiegins.  Coming  round  the  lower  turn,  Mary 
remained  in  the  lead,  and  was  still  in  front 
when  turning  into  the  home  stretch,  but 
Madge  was  closing  upon  her  very  rapidly,  and  at 
the  mile  distance  stand  they  were  on  even  terms. 
Madge  succeeded  In  piaislnir  the  goal  a  winner  by  a 
neck  in  2:01^,  Mary  second.  Sister  of  MerCy  third, 
Higgin6,  fourth,  and  Ambush  fifth.  This  waa  the 
first  victory  for  Madge  this  year  and  only  the  third 
race  won  by  Mr.  Smytiie  since  the  beginning  of  the 
season. 

THE  HURDLE  BACE. 

The  concluding  affair  of  the  day  was  a  handicap 
hurdle  race  of  mile  heats,  which  had  six  entries,  viz.: 
L-  Hart's  Reddinir,  C  J-  Allaway'e  Audubon.  John 
Ijawler's  Moonstone,  Charles  Reed's  Senator  M.,  J. 
S.  Cattanach's  Bencher,  and  Dalef  Brothers'  Dande- 
lion. The  previous  excellent  runplng  of  Redding 
made  him  a  prominent  favorite,  and  in  the  pools  he 
brou^t  $3^5  !  Bencher.  $80 :  Moonstone.  $70 ; 
Aud^MU,  $60 ;  Senator  M.,  $35,  and  Dandelion. 
$30.  There  was  considerable  delay  in  oousequenee 
of  Bencher's  non-appearance  when  called  bv  the 
judges,  but  just  as  tney  were  going  to  start  without 
him,  he  came  upon  the  track.  At  the  first  attempt 
they  were  sent  off  well  together,  with  Moonstone  first 
and  Senator  M.  second.  Audubon  went  to  the  front 
and  led  the  others  over  the  first  hurdle,  but  after 
s^ely  landing  on  the  other  side  Bencher  immediately 
ran  to  the  front,  getting  a  lead  of 
two  lengths  ahead  of  Redding  and  Audubon, 
who  were  on  even  terms.  Redding  and  Moon- 
stone, however,  soon  passed  Bencher,  and  when 
they  reached  the  quarter-pole  Redding  was  a  half 
length  before  Moonstone,  who  was  half  a  length  in 
advance  of  Bencher,  he  being  three  lengths  before  Au- 
dubon. Redding  kept  the  lead  along  the  back  stretch 
over  fhe  two  hurdles,  and  waa  followed  by  Bencher, 
with  Senator  M.  third.  In  this  manner  they  passed 
the  half-mile  pole.  On  the  lower  turn  Redding  took 
a  decided  lead  and  was  never  headed,  winning  the 
heat  by  two  lengths  in  l:533i.  Moonstone  second,  a 
head  in  front  of  Bencher  third,  six  lengths  ahead  of 
Dandelion  fourth.  Senator  M.  fifth,  andAubudon 
sixth. 

Second  Heat. — Redding  brotight  $100  and  the  field 
$26.  Another  long  delay  was  caused  by  the  obsti- 
nacy of  Bencher,  who  kept  rearing  and  jumping  in 
front  of  the  stand,  and  causing  much  hilarity  among 
the  spectators.  The  attendants  finally  got  him  to 
the  starting  pott  with  a  rope,  and  the  flag  fell  with 
him  in  the  rear.  Moonstone  was  first  over  the  hur- 
dle, Audubon  second,  aud  Dandelion  tnird,  but  going 
round  the  turn  Dandelion  went  to  the  front,  and  at 
the  quarter  pole  showed  two  lengths  before  Bedding, 
who  was  three  lengths  ahead  of  Andubon.  Dande- 
lion kept  the  lead  over  the  two  hurdles  on  the  bade 
stretch  to  the  half-mile  pole,  but  on  the  lower  turn 
Reddinc  came  to  the  front,  and  there  he  remained, 
winning  the  heat  and  race  easily  by  three  lengths  iu 
1:53.  Moonstone  second,  twolongtns  ahead  of  Dande- 
lion third.  Senator  M.  fourth,  Andubon  fifth,  and 
Bencher  distanced. 


THE  BOARD  OF  ALDERMEN. 
■The  Board  of  Aldermen  yesterday  adopted 
resolutions  establishing  two  new  ferries — one  from 
Fidton  Market  to  Mott  Haven,  and  the  other  from 
Feck-slip  to  One  Hundred  and  Thirtieth-street,  with 
intermediate  landings  at  or  near  Elghty-fonrth-itreet, 
East  lUver.  The  Commissioners  of  the  Sinking 
Fund  were  then  authorized  to  sell  the  franchises  of 
the  ferries  thus  established  at  public  anotlon.  Alder- 
man Morris  presented  an  ordinance,  which  was  ap- 
proved, allowing  persons  clad  in  bathing  suits  to 
bathe  in  the  KortJi  and  East  Rivers.  The  reeohition 
of  Aldermen  SUels  requesting  the  CTnited  States 
Steam-boat  Inspectors  to  eompel  owners  of  exnnialon 
boats  to  place  handrails  upon  th(>ir  gang-planks  to

MILITAET  RIFLE  PSACTICE. 


THE  TWENTY-THIRD  REGIMENT  AT  CBEED- 
MOOR — OPENING  OP  THE  PORTT-SEVBNTH 
REGIMENT  ENCAMPMENT. 
The  members  of  the  Twenty-third  Beglment 
in  the  third  class,  or  those  who  had  not  won  * '  marks- 
man's "  badges,  went  to  Creedmoor  yesterday  for  rifie 
practlee,  under  command  of  Major  A.  C-  Barnes. 
There  were  170  men  present  in  fatigue  uniform,  who 
went  to  the  range  by  the  9:30  train.  Upon  reaching 
the  grotmds.  It  was  foimd  that  the  Brigade  Inspector, 
Major  Manning,  was  absent,  and  had  not  sent  a  rep- 
resentative. Capt.  Burton,  Regimental  Inspector, 
was  therefore  compelled  to  perform  the  duplex  duties 
of  Brigade  and  Regimental  Inspector,  with  the  addi- 
tional inconvenience  of  finding  that  no  scoring  blanks 
had  been  provided  for  tbe  use  of  the  command. 
However,  the  Captain  remarked,  "we  got  along  as 
well  without  him,"  (the  Brigade  Inspector.)  The 
behavior  of  the  troops  was  excellent,  and  perfect 
discipline  was  maintained.  Every  movement  of  the 
regiment  as  a  body  was  conducted  with  an  amount  of 
passion  not  often  seen  at  Creedmoor.    After  the 

Sractice  had  been  concluded,  line  was  formed,  and 
le  march  back  to  the  cars  was  conducted  as  care- 
fnlly  as  it  would  be  on  "  parade  "  occasions.  The 
shooting  was  very  poor,  but  this  was  probably  due 
to  the  circumstance  that  all  of  the  best  shots  have 
long  since  won  "marksmen's  "  badges  and  were  not 
allowed  to  shoot  again.  Out  of  l70  men  only  9S 
qualified  in  the  second  class  by  making  25 
out  of  a  possible  50  points,  at  100  and  150  yards, 
and  of  that  ntimber  there  were  bnt  seven  qualifica- 
tions for  the  first  class  who  will  be  permitted  to 
shoot  for  "  Marksman's"  badges.  Twenty  scorers 
were  provided  for  the  occasion  by  the  Forty-seventh 
Regiment,  under  command  of  Lieut.  Harrison.  The 
scores  at  300  and  400  yards  were  as  follows,  the 
highest  attainable  number  being  50  points  : 

Private  Stanton 27  IMvate  RieU 25 

BeTKt.   Graham 27  IMvate  Werner 25 

£er)^  Nixsen ....27  PrivaCa  Richardson 25 

Sergt.  McCloIlan 25 

The  shooting  waa  impaired  somewhat  by  a  heavy 
shower  of  rain  which  lasted  for  about  half  an  hour, 
out  did  not  interrupt  the  practice. 

The  officers  of  the  Forty-seventh  Regiment  had  sn 
informal  "opening"  of  their  encampment  on  the 
ranee  yesterday  afternoon.  Ijent.-Col.  Brownell  ex- 
tended the  hospitalities  of  the  occasion  to  a  number 
of  Invited  guests,  and  a  fine  dinner  was  provided  for 
the  party.  The  regimental  and  nationaf  colors  were 
hoisted  from  a  staff  opposite  to  the  entrance  of  the 
ofHcera'  tent,  while  the  halyards  were  adorned  with 
guidons  and  small  flags  of  different  nationalities. 
The  main  tent  Incloses  a  very  hand.some  apartment. 
Matting  covers  the  floor,  and  tables,  chairs,  and  other 
articles  of  furniture  combine  to  render  the  place 
comfortable.  Back  of  the  officers'  tent  Is  a  kitchen 
provided  with  a  range  and  all  necessary  cooking  uten- 
sils, while  the  work  of  cleaning  and  repairing  guns  is 
]>erformed  in  a  separate  tent  set  aside  for  the  pur- 
pose. It  is  intended  by  the  officers  to  offer  every 
convenience  to  the  regimental  team  in  order  to  in- 
duce them  to  spend  as  mnrh  time  as  possible  in  prac- 
ticing before  the  Fall  meeting  takes  place,  when  the 
officers  hot>e  to  secure  a  prize  worthy  of  the  trouble 
and  expense  which  they  are  now  submitting  to,  thus 
placing  their  marksmen  among  the  first  In  the  State. 


TSE  VNIVEKSAL  LIFE, 


TESTmONT  AS  TO  THE  VALUE  OP  REAI*  ESTATE 
IN  RICHMOND,  VA. — ITS  DEPRESSED  CON- 
DITION. 

The  case  of  the  Attorney- General  against  the 
Universal  Life  Insurance  Company  was  continued 
yesterday  before  the  Referee,  J.  V.  French.  Deputy 
Attorney-General  Paige  examined  P.  W.  Grubb,  of 
Richmond,  in  relation  to  the  Ballard  Hotel  property 
in  that  city.  The  witness  said  that  he  had  been 
familiar  with  Richmond  property  since  1S56,  and 
tSat  he  valued  the  property  in  question  at  $40,000. 
but  said  that  it  might  bring  $50,000  under  very  fa- 
vorable circumstances.  Ho  considered  tbe  structure 
well  built  and  finished,  and  it  was  in  a  good  location 
for  hotel  property.  In  the  cross-examination,  con- 
ducted by  Mr.  V'anderpoel,  tbe  witness  stated  that 
the  real  estate  market  in  Vii^nia  was  dull.  It  had 
commenced  to  decUne  in  1873,  and  continued  to  go 
downward  until  the  present  year,  when  it  was  Jower 
and  duller  thau  he  ever  knew  it  to  be.  There  was 
some  property  on  the  principal  business  streets  that 
could  be  sold  for  as  good  a  price  at  the  present 
time  as  ever,  but  the  majority  of  real 
estate  would  not  bring  morv  than  half  of 
the  assessed  valuation  ;  mdeed,  he  had  Hinown 
property  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the 
Ballard  Hotel  to  sell  for  abimt  one-haif  of  the  as- 
sessed valuation.  In  Virginia  thev  have  two  classes 
of  usesment  officer — State  and  ^iuulcipal— and  the 
figures  of  each  differ  to  so  great  a  degree  that  the 
legislature  last  year  passed  a  law  to  prevent  a  higher 
asseasment  than  that  made  by  the  State  Ani^Rsnrs. 
The  hotel  property  which  he  valued  at  $40,000  was 
assessed  on  the  books  of  the  City  Assessor  at  $81.- 
600,  and  on  the  books  of  the  State  Axses-sors  a  littlo 
over  one  third  of  that  amount.  The  witness  was  of 
the  opinion  that  the  terms  of  payment  greatly 
affected  the  price  of  property  in  the  City  of  Ricii- 
mond,  and  that  persons  owning  property  in  that 
city  were  anxious  to  hold  on  tu  what  tbey  had  rather 
than  to  part  with  it  in  the  present  depretised  state  ot 
the  market. 

Mr.  M.  Coleman,  Deputy  Tax  Commissioner  of 
this  City,  was  next  called,  and  testilled  to  the 
value  of  New-York  City  real  estate.  His  testimony 
was  similar  to  that  given  by  Mr.  William  Laimbeer 
the  day  previous.  He  and  Mr.  Laimbeer  had  made 
the  examination  of  the  property  held  by  the  Insur- 
ance company  tMcether,  and  tneir  estimations  of  the 
values  of  the  diflferent  parcels  bad  not  varied  ou  im- 
proved property  in  any  case  more  than  $2,000.  He 
stated  that  the  City  Assessors  were  Instructed,  in 
making  their  assessments,  to  put  a  fair  value  upon 
property;  such  a  valuation  as,  in  their  estimation, 
the  property  would  bring  in  a  forced  sale.  The  ex- 
amination was  then  adjourned  until  to-day.

ING  THE   PRIZE  FOR  THE  LARGEST  APPE- 
TITE— INGREDIENTS  OP  THE  S0T7P. 
Two  hundred  members  and   invited  guests  of 
the  Hoboken  Turtle  Club  sat  down  to  dinner  yester- 
day afternoon  in  the  tasteful  little  pavilion  of  the 
club,  on  Central-avenue,  Jtist  above  Macomb's  Dam. 
At  one  end  of  the  room  wss  a  huge  turtle-shell,  stis- 
pended  against   the  wall,  bearing  the  inscription, 
"Hoboken   Turtle    Club.    1796—1877."    with  the 
motto: 

"  Congenial  souls,  where'er  they  meet, 
In  social  terms  each  other  greet."

of  turtle  meat,  a  dozen  calves'  heads,  48  calves'  feet,

"just  to  give  it  a  flavor."  Three  hundred  boil(Mi 
eggs,  freed  from  the  shells,  were  prepared  for  crumb- 
ling Id  the  soup  as  soon  as  sen'ed.  At  4  o'clock  sharp 
the  guests  took  their  seats,  and  for  more  than  an  hour 
the  orders  for  "more  soup"  continued  to  keep  the 
score  of  waiters  in  attendance  at  their  busiest.  Pres- 
ident A.  L.  Ashman  presided,  supported  by  Secretary

Long  Island  Gun  Club :  Mr.  Thompson,  of  this  Citv ; 
Mr.  Ihinston.  of  the  Newark  Gun  Club,  and  Dr. 
Talbot,  of  Brooklyn.  It  was  expected  by  those  who 
had  charge  of  the  preliminaries  of  the  match  that 
several  other  crack  shots  of  the  country  would  have 
competed,  but  for  some  unexplained  reasons  they 
failed  to  put  in  an  appearance.  Tlie  attendance  of 
spectators  was  very  slim.  Under  the  conditions  of 
toe  match,  which  was  governed  by  Capt.  Bogardus' 
rules,  for  glass  ball  shooting,  each  competitor  sliot  at 
100  bails  sprung  from  three  traps  placed  10  yards

mission ot  five  minutes,  and  at  the  end  of  the 
seventieth,  the  shooting  was  temporarily  dis- 
continued, during  a  violent  thunder  storm. 
The  spectators,  seeking  shelter  frotr.  the 
rain,  rushed  into  a  tent  pitched  in  tbe  park 
by  a  vender  of  refreshments.  A  ludicrous  scene  fol- 
lowed. A  strong  eust  of  wind  blew  down  the  weakly 
••onstructed  tent.  Dnryiujf  the  dampened  crowd  be- 
ncith  the  saturated  canvass.  They  cmereed  with 
some  difficulty,  several  badly  scared  but  all.  happily. 
unhurt.  %Vhen  the  Ptonn  had  abated  the  sbooiim: 
was  resumed,  and  was  ended  at  5  P.  M.  Subjoined

breathless  into  his  office  and  demandea  to  see  "the 
murderer."  On  investigation  he  learned  that  a  re- 
porter had  called  on  Inspector  Murray,  who  was  on 
duty  at  the  Central  Office  on  Wednesday 
night,  and  told  him  substantially  the  stor\' 
which  was  yesterday  published-  The  Inspector  sent 
for  Capt.  Williams,  in  whose  precinct,  the  brothel 
referred  to  in  the  newspaper  is  located,  and  the  re- 
porter repestedthe  sensational  story  in  the  presence 
of  Capt.  Williams.  The  Captain  was  then  directed 
to  investigate  the  matter,  and  if  there  was  sufficient 
Rrounds  to  make  an  arrest  to  do  so  promptly.  Dur- 
ing the  night  Capt,  Williams  telegraphed  to  In- 
spector Murray  that  the  story  was  '"all  bosh."'  and 
t  he  Police  paid  no  further  attention  to  the  matter. 
The  woman  spoken  of  in  the  article  as  Miss  Gertrude 
Brown  is  known  to  the  Police  as  "  Dirty  Gerty,"  and 
has  kept  a  brothel  of  a  very  unsavory  character  for 
a  number  of  years,  and  tbe  other  woman  mentioned 
is  one  of  the  inmates  of  the  establishment. 


ANOTHER  OCEAXPORT  VICTIM. 
Mr.  Moses  Mould,  who  was  injtired  by  the 
wrecking  of  the  train  on  the  Long  Branch  Division 
of  the  Central  Railroad  of  New-Jersey  at  Oceanport 
Creek,  died  at  No.  18  Jones-street,  in  this  City,  on 
Tuesday.  3Ir.  Mould  was  02  years  of  age,  and  was 
rather  feeble  at  the  time  of  the  accident.  With  his 
wife  he  joined  a  party  of  excursionists  from  Keyport. 
where  they  had  been  staying,  to  go  to  Ocean  Grove 
to  spend  the  day.  They  occupied  a  seat  on  the  right 
side  of  the  second  coach  from  the  ba^age  car.  When 
the  cars  toppled  over  Mr.  Mould  was  thrown  heavily 
against  the  roof,  and  then  fell  into  the  water,  appa- 
rently stunned  by  his  violent  fall.  His  wife  was 
badly  injured,  he/  shotilder  coming  in  contact  with 
the  side  of  the  car  and  becoming  dislocated,  while 
her  collar  bone  was  fractured  and  her  chest  injured. 
Altbough  in  gre-it  pain  she  bent  to  assLst  her  hus- 
band, lifted  h£n  from  the  water  in  which  he  lay.  and 
hold  him  out  of  it  until  somebody  from  the  bridee 
entered  and  relieved  her  and  carried  Mr.  Momd 
out  and  away  to  a  place  of  shelter..  He  was  taken 
to  bong  Branch,  where  he  lay  in  the  rooms  of  the 
station  agent  for  some  time  before  he  regained  con- 
sciousness. He  was  brought  to  New- York  the  second 
day  after  the  disaster,  but  remained  very  feeble, 
never  recovering  from  the  shock  bis  eystem  under- 
went, and  died  on  Tuesday.  He  will  be  buried  to- 
day, his  funeral  beginning  at  No.  19  Jones-street, 
and  ending  in  Montgomer>-.  Orange  County,  to  which 
place  his  body  will  be  conveyed  for  buriaL 


THE  SOTTND  MYSTERY  SOLVED. 
Alonzo  Merrill,  a  sea-faring  man,  residing  at 
West  Port  Richmond,  Staten  Island,  called  on  Su- 
perintendent Walling,  at  the  Pohco  Central  Office, 
ycsteiday,  and.  on  being  shown  the  clothing,  &c., 
found  on  Tuesday  morning  last  in  a  state-room  on 
the  propeller  City  of  New-Bedford,  identified  them 
as  the  proi>erty  of  Charles  W.  Johnston,  the  steward 
of  the  yacht  Dolphin,  belouffing  to  Peter.  Cooper. 
Johnston  was  an  orphan  from  a  very  early  age,  and 
earned  his  living  for  several  years  by  blackine  booths 
arotiud  Washin^on  Market.  From  the  time  ne  was 
17  years  of  age  ilr.  Merrill  had  adopted  and  cared 
for  him.  During  the  past  five  years  Johnston  had 
been  employed  as  a  steward  on  the  yacht  Ciio  and 
several  others.  Mr.  Merrill  believes  that  be  com- 
mitted suicide  by  jtimping  overboard  from  the  pro- 
peller while  under  the  influence  of  liquor.  It  was 
deemed  rather  strange  that  but  5  cents  were  found 
among  the  missing  man's  effects,  as  the  waiter  guvc 
him  20  cents  change  when  he  brought  him  his  sup- 
per. Mr.  Merrill  also  says  that  Johnston  was  to 
have  paid  him  a  portion  of  a  debt  of  $60  on  his  ar- 
rival at  Staten  I^and,  whither  he  was  botmd  when 
he  disappeared  so  mysteriously.  The  body  has  not 
been  found.  ^ 

TWO  HVNBRED  LABORERS  DISCHARGED. 
CommiBsioner  Campbell  yesterday  discharged 
300  laborers  who  were  employed  in  repairing  streets, 
the  appjropriation  for  the  purpose  l>eing  insufficient 
to  keep  them  at  work.  The  removal  of  the  men 
caused  a  good  deal  of  excitement  in  the  City  Hall, 
and  was  the  principal  topic  of  discussion  among 
some  of  the  Aldermen.  It  appears  that  Commis- 
sioner Campbell,  In  bis  estimates  for  this  year,  asked 
for  an  appropriation  of  $500,000  for  repavine  aud 
$'-50,000  for  repairing  streets.  He  was  allowed 
.«i350.000  for  botli  works.  $'.200,000  luring  for  re- 
pairing. It  further  appears  that  a  bill  was  jwssed  by 
the  last  Ijegislature  giving  ."J'JOO.OOO  advlitional  for 
these  purposes,  and  iliat  it  was  vetoed  by  the  Gov- 
ernor. It  was  said  tliat  Controller  Kelly  advised  the 
Governor  to  disapprove  of  it,  but  Mr.  Kelly  denied 
the  statement  yesterday.  He  said  that  he  believed 
the  bill  was  vetoed  because  it  did  not  provide  any 
means  for  raising  the  money,  and  would  therefore  be 
inoperative.  ^__^^__^

THE  PRESENT  COLLECTOR'S  MANAGEMENT 
AiL  RIGHT — THE  APPRAISER'S  OFFICE  IN 
J.  BAD  TVAY. 

SperiaX  DispcUeh  to  the  ITeio-Tork  Timet, 

Washington,  Aug.  17. — In  common  with 
the  rest  of  the  Custom-houses  in  the  country, 
there  will  no  doubt  soon  be  a  revolution  in  the 
management  of  the  one  at  Philadelphia,  so  far 
as  some  of  the  heads  of  the  subordinate  bureaus 
are  concerned.  The  Commission  which  has 
been  investigating  how  it  has  been  run  for  the 
past  ail  years  have  made  some  interesting 
developments,  and  that  body  will  hold 
its  concluding  sessions  next  week,  when 
the  final  report  will  be  framed  and 
forwarded  to  the  department  here.  Mr.  A,  P. 
Tutton,  formerly  Super\-isor  of  Revenue,  is  now 
Collector  of  the  Port,  and  the  evidence  shows  that 
for  the  some  ei;^ht  months  which  he  has  had 
control  of  atToirs  the  Custom-House  Department 
has  been  better  manai^ed  than  under  any  pre- 
vious Collector,  and  more  money  has  been  re- 
turned to  the  (•ovemmont.  The  most  glaring 
!raads  have  been  perpetrated  in  the  Appraiser's 
Department,  of  which  Major  lloore,  of  West 
Cliester,  is  the  Chief.  It  wan  sworn  tg  that  ex- 
ressivp  sampiin;;  was  carried  on  ^here.  to 
an  extent  hardly  to  he  believed.  Gal- 
lons of  molas.-je.s  and  10  and  20  pounds 
3f  .suiTir  would  b«  t«ken  from  a 
MDiL^Ie  hocshojid  or  barrel,  and  sent  up  to  the 
Appraiser's  oflice.  Here  the  articles  would  be 
Sept  until  enough  was  secured  to  make  up  a 
hogshe.id  or  barrel  of  a  particular  kind,  and 
then  it  wouM  be  sold  by  the  Government  of- 
ficers or  else  sent  to  friends  in  various  parts  of 
Philadelphia.  The  enormity  of  this  stealing  is 
apparenr  when  it  is  known  that  up  to  last  De- 
cember 140  hoiph^uds  of  molas.ses  and  sugar 
had  thu.s  been  ntirloine^l  and  di.«po.sed  of.  With 
cargoes  of  wines  and  liquors  it  was  still  worse. 
The  otlicers  would  take  one  bottle  from  each 
caae  of  wine  or  brandy.  A  rcfrular  bar-room 
was  opencHl  on  the  first  tloor  of  the  Appraiser's 
Imildinu:  on  ."^ecmd-street,  where  the  friends  of 
the  otlifials  held  hitrh  carnival  aud  drank  free 
liquor.  Quite  a  fjuantity  of  those  stolen  wines 
and  liquors  was  traced  to  the  residences  of 
heads  of  buri-aus  who  re:?ide  outside  of  Phila- 
delphia. 

The  office  of  Collector,  befo^  Mr.  Tutton 
assumed  the  place,  had  been  a  si'necure.  his  vari- 
ous predecessors  spendinq;  a  few  hours  a  day 
there,  and  allowintr  the  clerks  to  rxux  it.  As  a 
TTisult  of  this  system,  it  was  ?lu)wn  that  num- 
><-rs  of  thfni  were  eaKagetl  in  busi- 
ness outside,  aud  iisod  the  Custom- 
house AS  th*^ir  plare  for  receiving 
callf'rs.  The  Sun'eyor  s  Department  will  most 
undoubtedly  receive  a  thorou£;b  overhauling. 
K.  O  Goodrich  is  Surveyctr  ;  Hlpftm  "rJirodrich. 
(a  brother.)  Deputy  Surveyor, ^iind  there  is  .«*till 
another  brother  connecter!  with  A:*sistant  Trea- 
surer Eystrr's  department.  I'nder  the  Cix*il 
Service  niles,  hut  one  of  these  can  remain  in 
ofiice.  Charges  were  made  that  cas'^s  of  wine 
were  sent  to  the  residences  of  the  Goodriches, 
as  well  as  other  articles,  on  which 
the  duty  had  not  been  paid.  It  was 
through  their  instrumentality,  assisted  by  Ap- 
jiraisf  r  31oore.  that  Special  'Ajrent  Ayre.  who  at 
lir^t  was  a  member  of  the  Commission,  was  r»:- 
moved.  Ayre  had  some  time  atfo  made  an  in- 
vestiiration  of  these  two  departments.  The.'* 
parties  &bject»-d  to  his  siitinp in  judgment  upon 
them  again.  bera\ise  they  did  not  believe  an  un- 
biased conclusion  rould  l>e  reached  with  hiln 
there.  So  the  department  here  transferred  him. 
From  what  can  be  learned,  it  is  not  probable 
that  there  will  1*  a  great  reduction  in  the  work- 
in;!  force.  ex*epi  in  the  abolition  of  the  Xaval 
rttlice.  whi-h  is  a  sinecure.  When  Collector 
Tutton  went  intx  olfice  he  reduced  the  exoenses 
some  .*yo,000  a  year,  which  had  been  thrown 
iway. 

Tliere  is  a  strong  probability  that  the  office  ;of 
:he  Collector  of  the  Port  of  Camden,  opposiJe 
j>  IMiilaiielphia,  will  bo  abolishc-'l.  William 
So'>L'Son,  a  brother  to  the  late  Secretary  of  the 
Navy,  occupies  that  position.  In  his  jdace' 
rhere  will  hi?  put  an  Inspector,  who  will  be  com- 
petent to  transact  all  tiie  duties-required.  The 
ComniisNioti  has  not  a^^ed  upon  a  plan  for  the 
reorganiration  or  the  Custom-house,  but  mil 
commence  work  upon  that  next  Tuesday.

jcere  re\-iewe'l  at  noon  to-day  bx.  the  Secretary 
>f  the  Navy,  in  front  of  the  Navy  Department. 
The  battalions  numbered  abt)ut  275  men  in  fa- 
tigue uniform.  They  were  under  command  of 
Col.  Heywood.  and  headed  by  the  full  Marine 
Band.  They  presented  a  very  soldierly  appear- 
ance. The  Secretary  occupied  a  position  on  the 
(vesT  portico  of  the  buildine:.  and  he  was  ^ven  a 
marching  salute  as  the  troops  passed  up 
Seventeenth-.-^lreet.  Accompanying^  the  Secre- 
tary were  Col.  McCawK-y,  commandant  of  the

-  bureaus  in  the  Na\-y  Department,  among  them 
Ke;n*-Admiral  NorvelU  Commodore  Shuf  eldt,  and 
Pa\-m^ster-i  ieneral  Watmough.  The  Secretary

Na\t  T>epabtment.  Aug.  17,  1877. 

tlB  :  The  departiuent  has  received  from  Major- 
Gen.  Himcock  an  official  order,  wherein  he  bestows 
the  highest  praise  upon  the  marines  who  have  jnat 
rotunicd  from  Maryland  and  renhsylvania  mider  the 
cfjnimand  of  Major  and  Brevet  Lieut. -Col.  Hey- 
wood.  and  Capt.  and  Brevet  Lieat.-Col.  Forney. 
The  Major-r;eut-ro!  expresses  his  high  appreciation  of 
the  exi'cUfiit  cndnct  and  soldierly  qualities  "  of 
both  oflii-ers  mill  men."  andadds  that  "citizens  and 
soldiers  are  uniting  in  admiration  of  the  soldierly 
bearing,  excellent  diaciplinc.  and  devotion  to  duty 
displayed  by  them  while^  at  Baltimore,  I'hiladelptiia, 
and  Reading." 

The  Secretary  of  War  has  also  forwarded  to 
the  department  a  copy  of  a  report  from  Col. 
and  SurgCf»n  J.  M.  Cuyler.  Medical  Director  of 
the  Division  of  the  Atlantic,  who.  in  accordance 
with  instruction.**,  inspects  the  sanitary  condi- 
tion of  the  detachment  of  marines  at  Reading, 
Pcnn..  in  which   3Ie<!ical  Director  Cuyler  says  : 

The  sanitary  state  of  tho  command  is  excellent^ 
tnd  the  ofliccrs  cviilently  take  ^eat  pride  in  looking 
after  the  health  and  comfort  ot  the  men.  I  do  not 
recollect  of  ever  havinii  seen  a  more  soldiery 
set  of  men,  or  a  laore  orderly  and  well- 
behaved  set.  provinc  that  they  are  under  most  ex- 
cellent didpline.  These  men  seemed  to  be  so 
well  taken  care  of  by  their  officers  that 
[  really  cannot  see  what  the  Mojor-Gen- 
tral  commanding  can  dp  to  add  to  their 
health  or  comfort.  It  is  quita  remarkable  that 
men  pen'ormiiig  such  servic*  are  able  to  keep  them- 
lelves  and  their  arms,  &c..  so  verv  clean  and  neat." 
This  was  to  be  expected  from  the  well-established 
characterofthemarines,  but  is  none  the  less  gratifying 
to  the  department,  and  it  desires  to  express,  through 
you.  to  both  officers  and  men  its  high  appreciation  of 
tnem.  and  to  as.'mre  them  of  its  readiness  to  co- 
operate in  the  adoption  of  any  measures  necessary  to 
their  comfort  and  an  increase  of  their  efficiency. 
They  are  the  most  import.-mt  arm  of  the  national  de- 
fense, and  the  readiness  with  which  they  have  re- 
sponded to  the  recent  summons  of  the  aenartmeut 
to  aid  in  the  suppression  of  unlawful  combinations 
of  men,  no  less  than  their  proficiency  in  discipline, 
proves  that  they  may  be  confidently  relied  tipon 
whenever  the  public  exlfstncj  shall  call  them  into 
Ktive  service-    Respectfully.

SION— ^WHAT  THEY  PROPOSE  TO  DO — A 
DISPATCH  FROM  GEN.  GIBBON — THE  NEZ 
PERCES  BEING  CLOSELY  PtTBSTTED. 

Washington,  Aug.  17.— The  Sitting  Bull 
Commission  was  completed  to-day  by  the  ac- 
ceptance of  Mr.  John  McNeil,  a  merchant  of  St, 
Louis,  who  becomes  a  member  on  condition  that 
he  pays  his  own  expenses.  The  other  member 
of  the  commission  will  be  Gen. 
Terry,  of  the  Department  of  Dakota. 
Capt.  Corbin, .  of  the  Twenty-fourth 
United  States  Infantry,  who  has  recently 
been  on  duty  at  the  While  Hoitse  as  military 
sccertary  to  President  Hayes,  will  act  as  clerk. 
Gen.  Terry  will  be  in  Washington  in  a  day  or 
two,  and  after  receiving  his  instructions  will 
proceed  at  once  to  Chicago,  where  he  will  be 
joined  by  Mr.  McNeil.  The  commission  will 
then  proceed  to  Bismarck  by  the  Northern  Pa- 
cific Railroad,  and  from  there  by  boat  to  Port 
Peck,  or  som?  otherpoint  on  the  Upper  Missouri. 
The  party  will  then  be  escorted  by  a 
strong  cavalry  guard  to  the  boundary  of 
the  British  Province.  Here  they  will  be  met 
by  a  company  of  the  Canadian  mounted  Police, 
the  scouts  of  which  are  to  guide  them  to  Sitting 
Bull,  who  is  said  to  be  encamped  near  Lake 
Pekopee,  about  SO  miles  north  of  the  forty- 
ninth  parallel.  The  military  escort,  furnished 
.  by  the  United  States  Government,  wSl  remain 
in  c^mp  on  the  frontier  until  the  return  of 
the  members  of  l»he  commission.  It  is 
probable  that  the  party  will  reach  Sit- 
ting Bull's  camp  by  the  12th  of  September. 
The  commission  will  be  instructed  to  guarantee 
him  immunity  from  punishment  for  his  past 
murders  and  other  crimes  upon  the  same  terms 
to  which  Crazv  Horse  and  other  Sioux  chiefs 
agreed.  He  will,  of  course,  be  required  to  sur- 
render all  his  arras  and  ponies  and  go  on  a 
reservation.  The  commander  of  the  mounted 
Police  will  have  power  to  represent  the  Ctuiadian 
Government  in  the  consultation.

The  Spanish  Minister,  Mr.  Mantilla,  offi- 
cially assures  the  Acting  Secretary  of  State  that 
the  Government  of  Spain  is  disposed  to  satisfy 
the  complaints  whicn  the  United  States  may 
desire  to  make  in  regvd  to  the  cases  of  the 
Rising  Sun  and  the  Ellen  Rizpah,  even  before 
they  are  formulated,  and  to  prevent  any  cause 
for  similar  ones  from  arising  hereafter.  It 
appears  that  the  acts  complained  of 
were  both  committed  by  the  same  officer, 
a  subaltern,  of  a  rank  equivalent  to  that  of  cox- 
swain in  our  Navy,  through  misunderstanding 
or  excess  of  zeal.  Mr.  Mantilla  states  that  the 
Spanish  Government  directs  him  to  give  to  the 
Government  of  the  United  States  the  asstirance 
that  hereafter  all  the  stipulations  of  the  treaty 
shall  be  strictly  observed  even  by  the  smallest 
of  the  Spanish  Navy  toward  any  American 
vessel  that  may  be  found  along  the  Cuban  coast 
and  within  Spanish  maritime  jurLsdiction,  and 
that  orders  have  now  been  given  by  the  Govor- 
norOeneral  to  that  effect. 

Gen.  Le  Due,  the  Commissioner  of  Agri- 
cultural Affairs,  has  for  some  time  been  en- 
gaged in  the  consideration  of  important  mat- 
ters affecting  the  sujrar  interests  of  the  United 
States,  with  particular  attention  to  the  subject 
of  the  increasing  growth  of  that  staple  in  this 
country.  He  believeS^  that  there  can  be  a  sav- 
ing of  morq  than  $60,000,000  a  year  to  this 
country  by  the  production  of  the  sugar  at  home 
that  is  now  imported  from  abroad.  The  Com- 
missioner is  now  in  correspondence  with  sugar 
planters  and  others  in  the  South  and  South- 
west, and  has  also  received  information  from 
the  growers  of  sugar-beet  in  support  of  his 
views.  The  general  opinion  of  planters  and 
others  is  that  there  can  be  much  heavier  pro- 
ductions of  sugar  in  this  country  than  there  is 
at  present,  and  all  who  have  communicated  with 
the  Commissioner  on  the  subject  avow  their 
earnest  anxiety  to  give  him  all  the  benefits  of 
tlteir  experience  on  this  subject,  and  to  assist 
him  in  his  efforts  wherever  they  can. 

The  commission  to  examine  into  the 
business  at  the  New-Orleans  Custom-house  say 
it  was  elicited  in  the  evidence  before  them  that 
Havana  cigarettes  are  opvenly  retailed  in  New- 
Orleans  at  $2  50  per  bo.x,  when  their  cost  to 
the  honest  importer,  including  export  duty  in 
Havana,  import  duty,  internal  revenue  tax.  and 
oiher  charges,  is  little  less  than  $4  a  box,  and  that 
under  exLsting  circumstances,  even  the  seizure 
and  sale  of  smuggled  cigarettes  do  not  help 
honest  trade,  for  by  a  combination  on  the  part 
of  the  dealers  in  these  articles,  seized  cigar- 
ettes seldom  bring  at  a  United  States  Marnhal's 
sale  more  than  fi  ceutsaracket.  the  Goverumpnt 
furnishing  a  4-cent  revenue  stamp  for  each 
packet.  Thus  the  dishonest  importer,  when  his 
smuggled  goods  are  seized  and  sold,  is  abj©  to 
buy  them  at  a  Marshal's  sale  cheaper  than  he 
could  honestly  import  them.  This  evil,  to  a 
great  extent,  no  doubt,  arises  from  theexressivo 
duty  which  Congress  has  thought  fit  to  im{>os6 
upon  the  importation  of  cigarettes,  and  will  re- 
quire legislative  artion  to  provide  a  full  remedy; 
but  increased  vigilance  on  the  part  of  the  rev- 
enue ofRcers,  and  the  adoption  of  the  precau- 
tions against  smuggling  recommended  by  the 
pommUsJon.  will,  in  their  opinion,  repair  to  a 
considerablo  extent  the  injury  whi<'h  is  now  in- 
flicted on  the  revenue  in  this  regard, 

SUPERINTENDENT  ELLIS  REMOVED. 


THE  CLOSnrO  ARGUMENT  IN  THE  CASB  AXD 
THE  VERDICT  OP  THE  REN'ATE — THE  VOTE 
FOR  REMOVAL  21  TO  1  0 — ACQUITTED  OP 
INTEN'TIONAL  WBOXG-DOINO. 

Raratooa,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  17. — In  the  Senate 
to-day  Mr.  McGuire  continued  the  summing  up 
for  Mr.  Ellis,  dwelling  at  length  on  the  clause 
of  the  law  regarding  the  discretion  given  about 
s;ivings  banks  which  he  may  deem  im.«afe.  Mr. 
Ellis  called  on  leading  financiers,  and  advi-i^ed 
with  them  as  to  the  condition  and  disposition  of 
the  Third-Avenue  Bank.  Does  tt  look  like 
neglect  in  the  Superintendent  to  have  kept  up 
constant  correspondence,  keeping  a  close  watch 
on  the  banks  under  his  orders  ?  Referring  to 
the  testimony  of  Mr.  Smith,  a  clerk 
in  the  department.  Mr.  McGuire  stigma- 
tized him  as  a  spy  and  traitor.  Sen- 
ators were  asked  to  look  at  the  bank 
reports  and  see  the  amounts  invested  by  them 
in  rotten  stocks.  Take  every  bank  about  which 
testimony  has  been  received,  and  say,  if  you 
can.  on  which  charge  Mr.  Ellis  has  been  guUty 
of  neglect  of  duty.  As  to  the  Third-Avenue 
Bank,  he  exerted  unusual  watchfulness,  and  if 
anything  is  to  be  laid  to  his  charge,  it  amodnts 
to  mere  errors  of  judgment.  Much  time  was 
devoted  to  the  laws  regarding  statutory  officers 
appointed  by  the  Governor,  by  and  with  the 
advice  of  the  Senate.  Mr.  McGuire  said  these 
charges  were  got  up  again.st  Ellis  to  get  a  Re- 
publican out  of  office  and  make  place  for  a 
Democrat.  He  said  Ellis  inWt*^!  the  closest 
scrutiny.  He  would  not  resign  under  the 
charges,  but  would  let  the  Senate  decide  wheth- 
er or  not  he  was  guilty.  Either  way,  he  would 
not  hold  the  offic^  2-4  hours  after  the  case  ends. 

Mr.  Tracy,  for  the  prosecution,  began  the 
closing  argument.  Referring  to  the  statement 
of  Mr.  McGuire  as  to  the  removal  and  appoint- 
ment of  officers,  he  thought  the  State  of  New- 
York  had  full  power  to  go  into  the  office  of  one 
its  clerks  and  make  a  full  examination  of  his 
business  and  ways  of  management.  Of  the  10 
banks  Ellis  is  said  to  have  closed,  the  evidence 
shows  that  he  closed  two  himself.  Lamb,  his 
deputy,  closed  two.  Trustees  closed  four, 
and  depositors  two.  Referring  to  several 
of  the  banks,  he  claimed  that  the  re- 
spondent had  interposed  no  defense  whatever, 
either  in  the  testimony  or  on  the  argument  of 
counsel,  and  that  in  respect  to  the  Mutual  Bene- 
fit Savings  Bank,  it  appeared  by  the  reports 
that  the  bank  was  insolvent  for  more  than  two 
years ;  that  Trustees'  notes  were  given  to  ex- 
actly balance  a  continually  increasing  deficiency, 
and  that  Ellis  never  paid  any  attention  whatever 
to  that  bank,  and  it  was  finally  wound  up  with- 
out his  interference  by  a  suit  of  one  of  its  own 
depositors.  These  things  were  not  denied  or 
disputed  by  the  respondent.  Briefly  an.swering 
some  arguments  on  law  made  by  Mr.  McGuire. 
he  concluded  by  referring  to  the  brief  of  testi- 
mony on  each  bank  examined,  recapitulating 
points  in  the  testimony  of  leading  witnesses, 
and  claimeft  that  the  respondent  had  given 
no  excuse  for  not  protecting  the  depositors 
of  the  different  banks,  tracing  the  history 
of  each  bank  from  the  records  of  the 
department.  He  claimed  that  Ellis  had  no 
power  to  consult  the  interests  of  other  banks 
any  more  than  the  interests  of  manufacturers, 
commerce,  or  other  public  interests,  but  that 
his  duties  were  confined  by  statute  to  protecting 
the  interests  of  depositors  of  savings  banks. 
The  proof  showed  that  Lamb,  the  deputy,  had 
been  watchful  and  vigilant  in  caring  for  the  in- 
terests of  depositors,  and  when  the  absence  of 
Ellis  gave  him  power  to  act  he  did  so  promptly  ; 
also,  that  Smitli,  the  accountant,  had  been  faith- 
ful in  the  discharge  of  his  duties,  and  that  no 
stain  rested  upon  the  department  save  only  on 
Ellis  himself,  who,  by  ctilpable  negligence  and 
inefficiency,  has  caused  ^reat  losses  to  deposi- 
tors. The  system  itself  is  a  good  one,  and  has 
been  copied  in  other  States.  It  only  needs  an 
efficient  head.  In  Mr.  Lamb,  the  deputy,  the 
Senate  can  be  sure  of  a  man  able  to  conduct  the 
department  efficiently  as  long  as  it  shall  be  in- 
trusted to  him. 

At  5:30  P.  M.  the  Senate  went  into  executive 
session  to  consider  on  a  verdict. 

The  Senate  remained  ic  session  until  8  P.  M. 
and  then  adjourned,  without  removing  the  in- 
junction of  secrecy,  until  10  o'clock  to-morrow 
morning.  It  is  tmderstood  that  a  resolu- 
tion, offered  by  Senator  Prince,  was 
adopted,  in  substance,  that  the  Senate, 
after  hearing  all  testimonv  presented 
at  the  investigation  in  the  case  of 
De  Witt  C.  Ellis,  just  concluded,  concur  with 
the  Governor  in  the  opinion  that  Mr.  Ellis  has 
not  been  guilty  of  any  intentional  wrong  in  the 
conduct  of  the  Bank  Department. 

Sir.  ElUs  was  then  removed  by  the  following 
vote : 

For  fiwuwot— Messrs.  Baden.  Bixby,  Bradley, 
Coleman,  Gerard,  Hammond,  Harris,  Jacobs,  La-

London,  Aug.  18.— The  Time^  Bucharest 
correspondent  telegraphs  as  follows :  ''It 
is  rejjorted  here  that  Prince  Hassan,  in 
the  Dobrudscha,  is  marching  rapidly 
with  his  Egyptian  troops,  with  the 
object  of  cutting  off  the  communication  of  the 
Russians  with  Bessarabia.  Slmultansously 
we  learn  that  eight  Turkish  steamers  have 
received  orders  to  disembark  a  force  north 
of  the  Danube  mouths  with  the  same  object. 
[Note. — Kumora  of  this  description  have  been 
in  circulation  some  time.] 

The  Times*  military  correspondent  at  Bucha- 
rest says  every  detail  of  preparation  shows 
that  the  Russians  have  m.'wle  up  their 
minds  for  a  long  war,  and  are 
preparing  great  depots  of  firewood.  The 
Rotmianian  Government  is  also  asking  tenders 
for  a  supply  of  great  quantities  of  clothing  and 
stores.  The  same  correspondent,  commenting 
on  fbe  summoning  of  the  Russian  Guard  to  the 
seat  of  war,  says  the  guard  was  long  retained 
near  St.  Petersburg  on  account  of  probable 
action  on  the  part  of  England.  Its 
removal,  therefore,  is  reassuring,  as  it 
gives  emphasis  to  the  promise  that 
English  interests  will  not  be  threatened.  The 
same  paper's  Sistova  dispatch  says :  *'  A 
rain  of  less  than  1 2  hours'  duration 
has  rendered  the  roads  at  this  place 
ovor  which  the  Russian  supplies  are 
t^an•por^ed  a  sea  of  mul,  with  gaping  holes  of 
uiicuown  depth  at  freciuent  intervals.  This 
fori^ibly  illustrates  the  impost ibility  of  the  Rus- 
sian campaign  in  Turkey  after  the  rainy  season 
has  begun.  It  will  be'  very  difficult  even  to 
maintain  their  Armies  between  the  Balkans  and 
the  Danube  when  the  Stimmer  weather  breaks 
up.    All  other  accounts  concur  with  the  above. 

The  Tmiejf  correspondent,  with  the  Mon- 
tenegrin Army  telegraphs  from  Aluga, 
Aug.  15,  as  follows:  "Our  outgpsts  re- 
report  that  a  Turkish  army,  consisting  of  12 
battalions  of  regulars  and  several  thousand 
irrogtilars  have  begun  a  movement  on  Drob- 
niak.  The  Montenegrin  force,  wbif  h  is  utterly 
inadequate  to  oppose  them,  will  .  fall  back 
for  the  protection  of  the  inhabitants  until  r»rin- 
forcements  arrive.  The  Turks  are  prol>ably 
acting  for  the  relief  of  Xirsics. 

A  dispatch  received  from  Shumla  says  Sulei- 
man Pasha  has  arrived  at  Eloua. 

A  dispatch  received  yesterday  from  St.  Peters- 
burg says  :  '"An  oITicial  t<*legrara  roceived  from 
the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas  shows  his

It  is  believed  in  official  quarters  that  Midhat  or 
Server  Pasha  will  be  appointed  Ottoman  Am-

Vienna,  Aug.  17. — The  Political  Corre.^- 
jxwdenr-f  says  it  has  received  information  from 
a  very  trustworthy  source  that  the  question  of 
Servia  taking  part  in  the  war  has  been  dis- 
cussed in  the  Servian  Cabinet.  Ministers 
Miloikovitch  and  Grovit<^  did  not  approve  of 
such  an  undertaking,  but  M.  Grovitch  appears 
to  have  since  yielded  to  the  influence  of  M. 
Ristics. 

LoxnON.  Aug.  1 7- — Router's  Belgrade  dis- 
patch says  it" was  to-day  announced  that  all  the 
Ministers  had  tendered  tlieir  resignations. 
Prince  Milan  has  accepted  only  those  of  M. 
Strotcha,  President  of  the  Council,  and 
M.  Miloikovitrh-  M.  Ristics  has  been 
appointed  President  of  the  Council. 
The  telegram  gives  no  reason  for  this  change, 
but  in  view  of  the  Political  Correspfindenc4:'s 
news,  it  is  possibly  significant  with  regard  to 
Servians  foreign  relations,  although  there  were 
also  known  differences  in  the  Cabinet  on  inter- 
nal questions.- 

London,  Aug.  IS. — The  Standard's  Vienna 
correspondent  telegraphs  that  immediately  after 
being  appointed  President  of  the  Council".  Min-

tives that  no  change  in  the  poUcv  of  neutrality 
was  intended  ;  the  Array  would  not  be  mo-  -

ALIZED. 

From  our  Otim  CormpfmUmL 
London,  Saturday,  Aug.  4.  1877. 
The  war  is  at  last  becoming  exciting  and 
dramatic.  The  most  bloodthirsty  and  exacting 
newspaper  reader  cannot  complain  that  the 
belligerents  are  not  doing  their  best  to  entertain 
him.  If  anybody  is  to  blame  it  is  the  corre- 
spondents, who  do  not  make  enou^^h  of  the  sau- 
gruinary  incidents  going  on  around  them. 
Reading  the  letters  In  the  principal  dailies, 
one  is  led  to  suppose  that  the  writers 
are  chiefly  military  men.  They  seem  to  j)ccupy 
themselves  chiefly  with  the  tech  idealities  of 
the  war  and  criticisms  on  strategical  move- 
ments. A  DaUy  News  writer,  for  example,  tele- 
graphs three  columns  of  hard  details  of  the 
strategy  of  the  recent  battles,  when  he  must 
have  been  in  a  position  to  describe  the  fighting, 
its  moving  accidents,  its  gallant  onslaughts,  its 
splendid  feats  of  valor,  its  glories,  its  horrors. 
But  it  seems  that  his  duty  is  to  justify  the  Rus- 
sian defeat,  to  make  excuses  for  Russian  blun- 
ders, and  generally  to  depreciate  the  general- 
ship and  bravery  of  the  Turks.  If  he  could 
anyiow  have  converted  the  series  of  Ottoman 
victories  into  defeats  he  would  have  done  so, 
and  his  editor  at  home  is  evidently  slightly 
embarrassed  at  the  earnestness  with  which  his 
lieutenant  has  carried  the  prejudices  of  the 
News  into  the  active  duties  of  Impartial  report- 
ing. But  even  the  anti-Turkish  editor  has  at 
last  to  admit  that  the  Czar  has  sustained  a  se- 
ries of  sharp  repulses,  for  which  your  special  cor- 
respondent on  the  Danube  has  already  prepared 
your  readers.  You  cannot  have  failed  to  notice 
in  his  recent  correspondence  a  shrewd  and  pro- 
phetic criticism  of  the  Russian  operations,  pre- 
dicting and  chronicling,  step  by  step,  the  disas- 
ters which  have  cnlminated  in  the  defeat  and. 


rout  of  their  principal  Army  in  Europe.  What 
other  newspaper  correspondents  have  tried  to 
say  in  telegrams  which  have  been  confiscated 
by  the  Russian  censors,  your  representative  on 
the  Danube  has  had  the  courage  to  explain  in 
straightforward  language,  and,  what  is  more, 
has  had  the  luck  to  get  his  letters  safely 
mailed  afld  delivered.  While  some  of  your  con- 
temporaries have  been  making  Ught  of  Russian 
reverses  and  putting  down  the  reports  of 
Turkish  victories  to  false  telegrams,  you  have 
been  enabled  to  follow  the  true  fortunes  of  both 
sidQs ;  and  the  calamities  which  have  befallen 
the  ambitious  Generals  of  the  Czar  cannot  have 
come  upon  you  as  very  great  surprises. 
The  Russians  have  never  done  any- 
thing in  the  way  of  civilization  or 
fighting  to  entitle  them  to  treat  the  Turk 
with  hateur  and  contempt :  and  they  are  just 
now  reaping  the  reward  which  generally 
comes  of  despising  a  warlike  enemy.  No  great 
European  Generals  ever  made  that  fatal  mis- 
take. But  the  Russians  are  not  great  Gener- 
als, and  whether  they  win  or  lose  the  tremen- 
dous game  in  which  they  are  now  engaged,  the 
result  cannot  fail  to  be  almost  equally  disas- 
trous. 

It  is  no  good  disguising  the  fact,  useless  to 
deny  it— there  is  a  great  party  in  England  as 
anxious  to  have  Great  Brit,\in  declare  war 
against  Russia  as  the  entire  nation  was  20  years 
ago.  The  reported  atrocities  along  the  whole 
line  of  the  Muscovite  advance  have  made  a  deep 
impression  upon  all  classes,  the  more  so  as  they 
are  this  week  admitted  by  the  Tinp's  and  the 
DnUi/Xews,  two  powerful  friends  of  the  Ru.<4- 
sians,  who  every  morning  warn  the  Gov- 
ernment against  doing  anything  which 
can  help  the  Turk,  even  in  the  way 
of  encouraging  the  Ottoman  in  his  splendid  de- 
fense of  his  territory  and  his  honor.  The  Dnihj 
Ttdeornph  of  yesterday  made  out  its  black  and 
bloody  case  against  Russia,  not  on  the  evidence 
o|  its  own  correspondents,  but  from  the  columns 
of  the  Russian  special  pleaders.  A  correspond- 
ent of  the  Timr-s  says:  "The  strangest  and 
most  painful  matter  in  connection  with  this 
brutal  war  is  that  the  brunt  of  it  is 
really  falling  on  the  'rural  population,  and 
chiefly  on  the  women.  The  roads  are 
literally  lined  with  fugitives,  going  they  know 
not  where,  but  flying  from  the  terrors  of  friend 
and  foe  alike.  The  Turkish  population  have  a 
double  cause  for  dread — reprisals  and  vengeance 
from  the  Bulgarians  or  the  spear-points  of  the 
Cossacks,  who,  from  what  we  hear  of  their 
doings  north  of  the  Balkan?,  are  not  likely  to 
be  verj'  agreeable  guests  ou  this  side."  The 
following  parage  is  quoted  from  the  cor- 
respondence of  the  Z>(7i7^  .Vews  itself :  "Atroci- 
ties, I  deeply  regret  to  say.  are  the  order  of  the 
day.  Only  yesterday  sis  Turkish  women  and 
children  were  brought  down  to  Shumla  from 
Rasgrad;  one  woruan,  aged  70,.  was  riddled 
with  bulLs— four  were  in  her  body;  the  rest  were 
wounded  by  lance-thrusts,  the  children  badly  so, 
and  all  the  wounds  were  behind,'' 

During  the  la.-*!  few  weeks,  in  addition  to  the 
special  letters  which  have  in  many  cases  passed 
through  my  hands  from  your  correspondents 
with  the  belligerents.  I  have  had  private*  inti- 
mation from  them  in  resnect  of  the  charges  of 
miissacre,  murder,  and  mutilation  made  against 
the  Russians,  aud  they  only  differ  from  the 
other  authentic  accounts  in  the  quality  and 
character  of  the  atrocities  described.  The 
Russians  have  placed  theraselveson  a  dead  level 
with  the  murderers  in  Bulgaria,  who  gave  the 
Czar  his  excuse  to  march  on  his  traditional  foe 
and  trample  upon  the  Treaty  of  Paris.  The 
present  war  i^  waged  on  both  sides 
with  the  barbarism  of  battles  in  the 
dark  aces.  and  the  great  powers  of 
Europe,  who  look  on  and  raise  no  hand  in  de- 
fense of  helpless  non-combatants,  who  .stand 
by  aud  practically  witness  the  fiendish  outraging 
and  muiilarion  ot  women  antl  children,  are  for- 
ever disgraced  in  the  calendar.  If  this  is  what 
Christianity  has  brought  Europe  to,  no  wonder 
i^od,  called  upou  so  patronizingly  by  Russian 
'JeueraJs  before  the  latest  a*:tions,  has  not 
deigned  to  hear  the  voice  of  the  tyrants  who 
impiously  claim  the  Almighty  for  a  partner  in 
tht-ir  hellish  work. 

The  cold  aud  uncompromising  spirit  that  dom- 
inates <iermany.  Prince  Bismarck,  and  Eng- 
lanil's  misguided  Minister.  Gladstone,  induced 
Un-sia  to  take  her  fatal  plunge  into  this  sea  of 
hlood.  History  will  lay  at  their  door  much  of 
the  dire  mischief  which  has  been  done.  Glad- 
stone is  an  honest  fanatic,  a  weak,  vain,  intel- 
lectual theorist ;  he  meant  well.  no,.jloubt ; 
ho  had  no  deep-laid  scheme  to  carry  out; 
he  hated  the  Turk  and  wanted  to  get  back  into 
office  at  St.  Stephens;  and  that  is  all.  But 
Bismarck's  plans  are  his  own  ;  they  belong  to  a 
vasit  scheme  of  which  the  Franco^German  war 
was  only  one  grand  feature  ;  he  pushed  Russia 
into  this  war ;  when  the  conference  promised 
succe.ss,  he  thwarted  it ;  the  moment  lher« 
seemed  a  chance  of  the  Council  coming  to  a 
common  agreement  in  the  interest  of  peace.  Bis- 
marck rebuked  his  ambassador  and  telegraphed 
Germany's  refusal  of  the  peaceful  programme. 
Possibly  this  was  a  concerted  movement  with 
Russia.  It  is  certain  that  the  three  Emperors — 
William,  the  Czar,  and  Francis  Joseph — had 
come  to  a  preliminary  understanding,  and  it  is 
equally  positive  that  Bismarck  wanted  Rus- 
sia to  go  to  war.  What  his  own  orivate 
reasons  were  remain  to  be  seen.  Whether 
he  was  working  in  the  interest  of 
Ru-ssia  or  not  will  come  out  later.  He  has  held 
Austria  back  by  threats  and  promises.  Night 
nor  day  has  he  rested  from  working  against  an 
Austro-English  alliance,  and  if  it  does  not  turn 
out  in  the  end  that  the  power  to  be  benefited  by 
all  this  is  Germany,  students  of  foreign  politics 
have  done  Prince  Bismarck  a  grave  injustice. 

If  1  commence  my  London  letter  to-day  with 
the  war,  it  is  because  the  events  at  the  Balkans 
form  the  chief  current  topic  of  the  hour.  Even 
the  Irish  obstructives  in  the  House  of  Commons 
sink  into  utter  insignificance  before  the  war 
news  which  is  selling  the  daily  and  evening 
journals  in  millions.  Vour  terrible  railway 
striken  have  had  a  large  share  of  public  attention, 
but  the  ordinary  newspaper  readers  just  now 
are  wading  so  deep  in  blood  that  what  would  last 
year  have  appeared  to  be  an  awful  business  is 
easily  passed  over  in  presence  of  the  cries  of 
"  Another  great  battle.  8,000  Russians  killed," 
••More  Tiu-kish  atrocities."  "  Defeat  of  the  Rus- 
sians along  the  entire  line,"  "Massacres  of 
Turkish  women,''  and  all  the  other  appalling  in- 
cidents of  the  warfare  bawled  by  stentorian 
lungs  at  every  street  comer.  The 
latest  reports  from  the  seat  of  war  posted 
up  to  the  last  hour  of  my  mailing 
this  letter  show  that  the  Russians  are  in  verv 
serious  difficulties,  and  their  present  position  is 
a  curious  satire  on  the  letter  which  appears  in 
to-day's  Times  from  Kazanlik  of  July  20,  in 
which  we  are  assured  that  "  from  past  ex- 
perience it  would  appear  that  the  Turks 
cannot  stand  against  the  Russians  even 
in  superior  numbers."  There  is  nothing 
more  foolish  than  this  everlasting  deprecia- 
tion of  the  Turks.  "  Past  experience  '*  is  in 
favor  of  their  courage.  History  is  full  of  it. 
The  collapse  of  the  veteran  troops  of  Russia  in 
Asia  is  an  experience  of  the  present.  The  fight- 
ing in  Servia  last  year  is  an  experience  of  the 
present,  for  the  Servians  were  supported  by 
Russian  volunteers  and  by  Muscovite  gold. 
There  never  was  anything  more  silly  than  this 
elevation  of  Russian  over  Turkish  courage. 
Man  for  man  the  Turk  is  a  better  soldier  and  a 
more  moral  citizen  than  the  Russian.  Every 
traveler  knows  it^  The  educated  Russians  are 
fine  fellows,  manly,  polite,  worthy  of  the  high- 
est respect  and  consideration  ;  but  two-thirds  of 
Russia  is  still  in  a  state  of  barbarism,  and 
the  rank  and  file  of  Turkey  are  superior  in  edu- 
cation, in  thought  and  feeling,  to  the  rank  and 
file  of  Russia,  The  question  of  religion  is  very 
different  to  what  is  usually  thought  among 
the  general  public  of  America.  Russian  Chris- 
tianity is  not  the  Christianity  of  the  United 
States  ;  it  is  a|  Christianity  of  superstition,  of 
ceremony,  of  persecution ;  and  the  Christianity 
of  Servia  and  Bulgaria  is  the  darkness  of  error 
and  doubt,  ■  compared  even  with  the  vague, 
uncertain  light  of  the  mystic  Russian 
Church.  It  is  ctirious  to  watch  the  editorials 
of  the  atiti-'Turkish  papers,  and  note  the  effort 
at  UDj;>artial  treatment  which  the  letters  of  cor- 


respondents receive.  Even  the  Tim*8  to-day  is 
fain  to  admit  that  the  Russians  have  sustained 
serious  defeats,  and  that  nobody  knows  what 
may  happen  before  they  can  retrieve  their 
disasters.  "  How  many  impulses,  political  and 
social,  domestic  ana  foreign,  may  damage  the 
calculations  of  those  who  count  on  the  over- 
throw of  Turkey  by  the  loss  of  man  for  man 
until  the  weaker  population  is  exhausted?*'  The 
Times  knows  weu  enoi:$h  that  at  this  moment 
there  is  almost  a  panic  in  St.  Petersburg ;  th%t 
the  days  of  imperial  tyranny  are  num^red ; 
that  even  the  Russians  are  beginning  to  think 
of  pversonal  liberty,  and  that  a  retreat  of  the 
Czar's  armies  upon  the  Danube  may 
lead  to  revolution  and  anarchy  at 
home.  Why  not  tell  the  wor^^t  of 
the  Russian  situation  ?  Constaminople  and  the 
Turk  have  been  turned  inside  out  for  the  eyes 
of  all  the  world  to  stare  upon.  Why  this  con- 
tinual screening  of  and  apolo^ing  for  the  Rus- 
sian ?  Js  it  so  necessary  that  the  Czar's  case 
should  be  always  bolstered  up  when  Providence 
is  continually*  in  the  mouths  ot  his  Gen- 
erals and  Te  Deum  is  chronic  in  the 
churches  of  his  capital  ?  The  English 
press  is  not  maintaining  its  reputation  for  fair- 
ness and  judicial  wisdom  in  treating  the  East- 
em  crisis  as  if  it  were  a  mere  general  election. 
in  which  one  side  is  to  bully  and  browbeat  the 
other.  The  Russo-Turkish  war  is  a  national 
question,  in  which  all  the  world  is  interested, 
and  it  is  a  war  that  never  ought  to  have  taken 
place. 

The  Turkish  victories  are  welcomed  by  the 
Government,  coming  as  they  do  at  the  close  of 
the  session,  and  at  a  time  when  Ministers  may 
have  once  more  to  jusfify  themselves  before 
the  country.  Pf  Austria  had  made  up  her  mind 
to  ally  herself  with  England  and  shake  off  the 
"benevolent  influences"  of  Germany.  Lord 
Beaconsfieid  would  long  ere  this  have  occupied 
Gallipoli ;  but  as  Austrian  interests  in  Europe 
art-  more  imperilled  than  English  interests,  tne 
Premier  did  not  care  to  run  any  risk  out  of 
mere  sympathy  for  the  Turks.  *  I  happen  to 
know,  and  the  fact  has  already  gone  to  you 
through  the  cable,  that  the  orders  given  to  the 
commanders  of  the  transport  ships  were  to  sail 
for  India,  the  troops  being  for  the  purpose 
of  the  periodical  relief  of  other  forces  ordered 
home.  This  was  no  doubt  done  to  be  prepared 
for  further  awkward  questions  ;  for  the  com- 
manders were  also  ordered  to  call  at  Malta, 
where  final  telegraphic  instructions  will  await 
them.  The  Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer  has 
already  stated  that  no  extra  vote  of  credit  would 
be  necessary  to  defray  these  expenses,  and  the 
po.ssibility  of  the  Turks  being  able  to  take  care 
of  themselves,  as  demonstrated  almost  as  it  were 
at  the  last  moment,  may  induce  the  Govprn 
ment  to  let  the  session  close  wiiii- 
out  asking  for  a  special  vote,  seeing 
that  they  can  place  in  th'-  field 
60,000  men  without  askinrr  ih**  il"use  for 
another  sixpence  this  year.  'I  ho  f  !■'  ~  argument 
against  this  view  is,  that  on'*<:  n*  uar,  (iO.OOO 
miirht  .speedily  requiredoui-Jipj  -<n.\  it' Ministers 
rare  to   have  a  special  i:r:i!!'  .:    ir  h.^ck.  now 

is  a  better  time  than  h*':e:i^^.  Lord  Beac^ms- 
field  favors  the  policy  of  nut  Mi'iitig  the  ques- 
tion ;  but  the  Oladston  ■  ;»arry  are  anxious  to  de- 
mand a  categorical  *■>  ianatiou  of  Ministerial 
intentions  in  case  of  ■  tain  eventualities  before 
the  prorogation.  'V  ■  feelingis  gradually  gain- 
ingground  even  ni':";jg  Ministerial  supporters 
that  the  Govemni-iiT  is  playing  a  selfish,  not  to 
say  a  cowardly  p;irt,  in  leaving  the  Turks  to 
fit^ht  the  battle  of  "British  interests'"  single- 
handed:  but  Ministers  keep  their  own  counsel 
with  firmness  and  dignity,  always,  however. 
leading  the  nation  to  believe  that  they  were 
never  more  readv  to  enter  upon  a  big  war.  but 
at  the  same  time  wishing  it  to  be  thoroughly  un- 
derstood that  they  will  maintain  their  declared 
neutrality  with  self-sacrificins  devotion.  Lord 
Derby  said  the  other  night  to  an  inrimate  friend 
of  mine.  '*  Russia  knows  exactly  where  our  neu 
trality  must  become  hostility;  she  has  thanked 
us  for  defining  British  intprests.  and  I  shall 
be  greatly  surprised  if  she  does  not  continue  to 
respect  them."  The  hope  that  something  miirl'' 
be  said  about  the  war  at  the  Lord  Mayor's  dii 
ner  is  now  entirely  hopeless,  for  the  Minister;..! 
banquet  ^is  put  off  altogether  in  consequence  of 
the  death  of  Mr.  Ward  Himt.  Ministers  for  the 
same  reason  will  refrain  from  eating  white-bait 
at  Greenwich  this  year.  Lord  Bearjsnsfield, 
though  still  weak,  loolb^much  better,  and  there 
are  keen  observers  among  his  admirers  who 
still  believe  that  in  regard  to  the  Piggott  ap- 
pointment he  let  the  matter  drift  into  a  difii- 
cuity  in  order  that  he  might  sliow  friends 
and  foes  that  his  intellectual  strength 
is  still  unimpaired.  It  is  understood 
that  he.  as  well  as  his  colleagues,  regrets  that 
he  was  not  in  the  Commons  to  settle  the  Irish 
obstructives,  whom  Sir  Staflford  Xorthcote  in 
his  sober  moments  has  decided  to  leave  to  Par- 
liament itself,  confident  in  its  wisdom,  and  re- 
haut  on  its  power  to  regulate  the  wild  proceed- 
ings of  obstructive  minorities  who  strain  the 
laws  of  debate  in  order  to  win  by  physical  en- 
durance th^i  which  they  cannot  justly  claim  by 
argument,  by  right,  or  by  numbers. 

THE  FAMISE  7.V  IXDIJ 

RATS  GREATLY  KEEDED— PRICES  OP  GRADJ 
EXCEEDIXGLT  HIGH — ^THE  KTXIBEE  BE- 
LIEVED AT  MADRAS.  , 

LoKBOK,  Aug.  1 7. — A  dispatch  from  the 
Viceroy  of  India,  dated  Aug.  15,  states  that 
the  general  improvement  in  crop  prospects  in 
Madras,  Mysore.  Bombay,  and  the  North-west 
was  maintained  the  past  week.  Rain 
is  still  much  needed  in  the  Punjab, 
Kajpootana,  and  the  western  part  of 
the  north-west  provinces.  Prices  of  grain 
continue  exceedingly  high  throughout-  the 
famine  districts,  bur  in  Madras  they  are  slightly 
easier  than  the  week  preceding,  and  still  are 
lower  iu  every  part  of  that  residency 
than  in  the  worst  parts  of  Bombay  and 
Mysore.  The  question  of  grain  stocks 
and  supplies  continues  to  cause  ansietv.  The 
grain  trade  at  Calcutta  is  exceedingly  active ; 
liO.OOO  tons  of  shipping  are  engaged-  The 
condition  of  Mysore  continues  critical.  The ' 
Governor  of  Bengal  telegraphs  concerning 
the  condition  of  B«mhay  that  prices  of 
grain  are  slightly  .easier,  but  are  still 
very  high.  An  improvement  of  the  sittiation 
is  retarded  by  want  of  " general  rain.  The  peo- 
ple are  feeling  still  more  the  continued  pressure 
of  high  prices.  The  difliculrv  in  Bombay 
is  aggravated  by  the  state  of  Aladras 
and  Nizam,  and  by  the  inability  of 
the  railway  to  bring  forward  grain 
sufBcient  for  the  great  demand.  There  has  been 
a  ftirther  increase  in  Madras  of  the  numbers  re- 
lieved of  189,000,  making  385,000  increase  in 
the  last  fortnight.  In  Mysore,  the  laborers  on 
the  works  are  decreasing  and  the  charitably  re- 
lieved increasing.  In  Bombay,  the  reverse 
is  occurring,  but  there  is  a  slight  general  in- 
crease in  the  totals  relieved.  In  Madras  there 
are  983,000  laborers  on  the  works  and  1,001,- 
600  charitably  relieved ;  in  Mysore,  45,000  on 
the  works  and  16-1.090  charitably  relieved,  and 
in  Bombay,  265,000  fin  the  works  and  110,000 
charitably  relieved.    [ 

THE  FBEIfCB  POLITICAL  SITCATIO.V. 

London,  Aug.  IS. — il.  Gambetta,  some 
days  ago,  made  a  great  political  speech  at 
Lille,  the  publication  of  which  has  been 
hitherto  prevented  by  fear  of  ■  censoi^- 
ship.  Extracts  are  now  published  in  the 
Times.  M. -Gambetta  expressed  great  confidence 
as  to  the  result  of  the  elections,  and  spoke  with 
his  usual  bitterness  against  the  Bonapartists, 
whom  he  stigmatized  as  the  party  of  invasion. 
He  said  tl;e  charge  of  latent  radicalism  which 
was  brought  forward  as  an  excuse  for  dissolving 
the  Chamber  was  an  ambiguity  and  a  false- 
hood. [Note — This  accusation  of  radicalism  is 
what  President  MacMahon  has  specially  dwelt 
upon  in  all  his  recent  speeches  during  his 
tour.]  Relative  to  the  assertion  of  reactionary 
papers  that  President  MacMahon  will  not  be 
obliged  to  submit  to  the  will  of  the  nation  as 
expressed  by  the  coming  elections,  M.  Gambetta 
said:  "It  is  in  vain  that  such  things  are 
said,  or  rather  allowed  to  b©  said,  in  the 
hope  that  they  will  cheer  the  failing  hearu* 
of  the  Government's  auxiliaries,  ^en  the 
sole  authority  to  which  all  must  bend  has 
pronounced.  Do  not  think  that  any  one  is 
strong  enough  to  oppose  it.  Do  not  think 
that  when  the  millions  of  electors  of 
the  free  soil  of  France  have  made  their 
choice  that  there  will  be  one,  whatever  be 
his  degree,  that  could  resist.  Believe  me, 
when  France  has  pronounced  her  sovereign 
will,  there  must  either  be  submission  or  resigna- 
tion. 

President  MacMahon,  who  is  making  a  tour 
in  Normandy,  replying  to  an  address  from 
the  President  of  the  Court  of  Appe&ls,  at  Caen, 
said  he  did  not  seek  the  triumph  of  any  particu- 
lar party,  but  of  those  principles  whicfi  were  the 
foundation  o'  so«iPtv,  which  was  in  serioiu 
jeo£ardT.

Maxsfteld,  Ohio,  Aug.  17. — The  reoep*- 
tion  to  SecretAjy  Sherman  to-night  was  a  Tery 
successful  demonstration.  Several  thousand 
persons,  including  many  ladies,  gathered  in  thft 
park,  where  a  stand  and  scats  had  been  pro- 
pared.  The  evening  was  beautiful.  After  the 
usual  preliminaries,  the  President,  Henry  C. 
Hedges,  on  behalf  of  the  citizens,  addressed, 
the  Secretary  as  follows : 

JOHK  Shermax  :  In  1 954.  23  years  ago  tiiU  F«2I. 
the  people  called  you  to  represent  them  in  the  lowwr 
boose  of  Congress.  At  evh  mioceeding  period  of 
two  years  the  call  was  repeated — ^In  18.56.  1S58,  and 
1660.  The  great  and  p>od  President  selected  aa  ooa 
of  his  const  it  utional  advisors  that  matchleas  man 
Chase,  then  Senator  of  Ohio.  The  p^'ople  t^en.  by 
tbeir  Representatives  in  the  General  Assembly,  bade 
you  occupy  the  seat  In  that  most  angost 
body  known  to  civilization  as  the  United  States  Sea- 
ate,  thus  vacated  by  Chase.  Twice  thereafter  waa 
the  call  repeated-  In  the  lower  house  you  tijok  a 
rank  seldom  accorded  a  new  me.mber,  and  in  the 
third  ConpresR  in  which  you  sat  you  w«re  the  ac- 
knowledged leader  of  the  House  Transferred  ta 
the  Senate  at  the  outbreak  of  the  rebellion,  your 
associates  there  were  quick  to  perceive  your  capacity 
for  great  mental  effort  and  prompt  to  recof^nize  it  i 
and  so,  early  in  your  Senatorial  life,  the  cbainnan- 
ship  of  the  most  importAnt  commir\ee — that  cf  Fi- 
nance— was  conceded  you.  But  the  country  at 
large  needed  your  large  executive  and  financial  abil- 
ity in  that  most  onerous  and  responsible  of  all  its  do- 
pitrtments,  the  department  organized  by  the  brilliarj; 
genius  of  a  Hamilton,  and  worthily  filled  by  &  lonj" 
line  of  great  men.  and  forever  graced  by  the  In- 
cumbency of  a  Chase.  "We  believe  that  the  great 
office  has  never  been  filled  more  worthily,  more  ably, 
or  more  successfully,  than  by  John  SheTHfljiU. 
Twenty-three  years  ago  you  went  from  us  in  iha 
strength  of  your  early  manhood.  A  quarter  of  a 
century  nearly  has  elap^tyl;  a  new  generajtioa  has 
come,  and  a  generation  has  passed  away  ;  and  during 
all  these  years  you  have  been,  and  still  ane.  charged, 
with  public  trusts.  On  this,  your  first  visit  home 
since  assuming  yourpresent  high  ^tntion.  your  neii"^- 
bors,  friends,  and  townsmen  have  regarded  it  as  theit 
duty  to  mark  it  as  more  than  an  ordinary  occa^aon. 
We  know  that  great  ability  alono  will  not  command 
great  success ;  we  know  that  untiring  enerzy 
and  application,  added  to  great  ability, 
will  not  together  alone  achieve  renown,  but  great  abili- 
ty and  untirin:;  •■r»Ti.-y.  with  great  integrity,  have  and 
will  cnmni.-tnd  great  success,  high  renown,  and  ontar- 
DJsh  .;  distincTw.Ti.  Such  ability,  such  eaergy.  such 
a:,jjh'"i'ion.  snch  integrity,  we  believe  to  be  your^ 
S".-h  j'^.-.r^.s  yrm  have  had,  such  renown  you  ha^Q 
2.  hie  -1  -u--^";i  honorable  distinction  is  yours;  and, 
b'-'ice  "iT'iing  you  as  our  friend,  oar  neigiibor, 
■  ■  .rV  ■-  ;:iman,  we  are  glad  and  rejoice.  [Applause. 1 
'  'th'^  Secretary  was  visibly  affected  by  the 
wnmi'hof  his  welcome,  and  the  bringing  for-

MR,  SHERilAKS  SPEECH. 

FixLOw-CrrizENS.  Ladies,  and  Gentlemex:  Ta. 
response  to  your  invitation  I  am  here  to-night  %a 
state  to  you  my  views  of  what  has  thus  far  been 
done  Dy  the  present  Administration  in  its  conduct  cf 
public  affairs.  In  doing  so  I  wish  it  distinct^  un- 
derstood that  I  speak  for  myself  alime,  as  a  citisen 
of  Ohio,  to  you  my  fellow^citizens  and  my  neighbors, 
to  whom  I  am  under  the  highest  obligations  of  grati- 
tude and  duty.  The  President  authorized  me  to  say 
one  thing,  and  one  thine  only,  for  him,  aud  in.  hJa 
name,  and  that  Is  that  all  reports  that  im.pate  to  bim. 
any  participation  whatever  in  -the  nominatioa.  of 
candidates  on  your  State  ticket,  or  any  desire  or  pur- 
pose to  influence  in  any  way  the  Senatorial  contest 
in  Ohio,  are  utterly  groundle.^.  These  are  your 
matters,  and  I  can  assure  yoa  for  hijn  that  he  h:is 
not  and  will  not  interpose  in  any  sw^  contest  be- 
tween political  friends.  For  all  else  T  say  to  yoa, 
neither  he  nor  my  old  and  honored  friend  Judgt 
West  is  responsible. 

You  all  know  that  I  am  now,  and  ha^e  been,  warfli 
ly  attached  to  the  Republican  Party.  I  believe  in  *t» 
principles  and  honor  its  work.  With  my  strong  con- 
victions I  could  not  conceal  my  partisan  bias  nt^  my 
earnest  hope  for  the  success  of  the  Sepublican  Party, 
but  the  subjects  of  which  I  intend  to  speak  to  you  to- 
night will  not  lead  me  to  say  much  of  form«r  politi- 
cal struggles,  or  to  fight  onr  old  battles  ower  again, 
but  chiefly  to  discuss  the  actual  administrative  qne^ 
tions  of  the  day  as  they  have  arisen  since  the  -lih  of 
March  last,  and  in  all  of  which  you  aro-  alike  inter-j 
ested,  whether  you  may  call  yourselves  RepubHca^/s 
or  Democrats.  As  to  these  questions  I  wish  faii^y 
to  appeal  to  the  candor  and  good  judgment  of  hpn- 
est  men  of  both  parties,  only  asking  for  ih.9 
Administration  of  P-«^.sident  Hayes  that  ccdsid- 
erate  charity  of  judgment  which  must  be  eiten  'ed  to 
all  human  agenta.  When  he  was  inaugurjled  he 
found  36  States  in  the  ftill  and  uncontested  'e3:ercisa 
of  all  the  powers  of  States  in  the  Union-  In  two 
States  only  there  were  contests  as  to  -who  was 
Governor.  Both  contests  had  eiistcd  fpoiu  Jamiar'.- 
to  March,  1977.  while  Gen.  Grant  was  PtesidenJ. 

In  South  Carolina  Gov.  Chamberlain  claimed  to 
have  been  elected  on  the  Republican  tic  bet.  and  Gen. 
Hampton  ou  the  Democratic  ticket.  The  Presideut 
is  not  made  the  judge  of  who  is  elected  Governor  of 
a  State,  and  an  attempt  to  exercise  such  a  power 
would  be  a  plain  act  of  usurpation. 

The  Constitution  of  South  Carolina  is  mu(i  Ufca 
that  of  Ohio.  The  count  of  the  vote  was  to  be  made 
by  the  General  Assembly  of  tbo  State.  Unfortn- 
nately  for  Chamberlain  a  controlling  question  in  the 
contest  had  been  decided  ag»iast  him  by  a  Republi- 
can court,  and  he  was  only  kept  in  possession  of  the 
State-hotise  by  the  acttial  presence  of  United 
States  troops  in  the  building.  He  had  appealed  acaizi^ 
and  again  to  President  Grant  to  recognize  him  im 
Governor  and  to  give  him  the  aid  of  Federal  troc^ps 
in  the  enforcement  of  his  claim,  which  Gen.  GrAnt 
had  refused,  and  sought  only  to  preserve  the  publio 
-pieace.  When  President  Hayes  was  inaugurated  botk 
contestsnts  were  called  to  Washington  and  both, 
were  patiently  heard,  and  the  questions  presented 
were  patiently  and  carefully  examined.  Tha 
President  held  that  a  case  was  not  pr^ 
sented  in  which,  under  the  Constitution 
and  the  laws,  he  was  justified  in  using  the  Army 
of  the  United  States  in  deciding  a  purely  local 
election  contest.  The  soldiers  and  bayoseta  of  tha 
United  States  were  then  withdrawn  from  the  State- 
house — ^not  from  the  State,  nor  the  capital  of  Mu^ 
State — but  from  the  building  in  w^hich  the  Lo^UKla. 
ture,  that  alone  could  lawfully  decide  thi*  oou&est, 
mtist  meet.  This  was  all  that  was  done  by  the  Ptasi. 
dent,  and  Gor»  Chamberlain,  without  further  eo» 
testing  bis  claim,  abandoij/frd  it  and  left  the  ^tate. 

I  say  to  you  now  that,  strongly  as  I  desired  tha 
success  of  Gov.  Chamberlain  and  the  Bepublicaa 
Party  in  South  Carolina,  the  President  had  not  m 
shadow  of  right  to  tDterpose  the  power  of  the  Army 
in  this  contest,  and  Jiis  attempt  to  do  so  would  h«re 
been  rash  and  abortive  as  well  as  Without'l^al 
right. 

THE  DECISION  TS  TEX  CASE  OT  hOVTSUM^ 
The  case  of  Lmiisiana  was  far  more  diffieoH.  Tb« 
local  returning  officers  of  that  Stata  had.  after  a  Ail] 
examination,  certified  to  the  election  of  the  X/^mh^ 
tore,  showing  a  Republican  majority  in  both  TTnna^. 
This  had  been  done  by  excluding  from  thair  ratazr 
the  votes  of  ocstain  parishes  and  cotmtiec  wharein 
V  intimidatioxL,  vif^oaca,  and  tnmd  hadyreyailed,  to  an

ness the  count,  and  I  mmxqi9  700^  as  Ihsvo  said  ofll- 
eUIl7,  tZiat  the  proof  of  thia  intimidation, 
liolenee,  and  frand,  extending  to  nratdor, 
cruelty,  and  ontnge  In  erery  form,  'vras 
absolutely  eondnsive.  showing  a  degree  of  vlolenoe 
In  some  of  those  parishes  that  xras  more  rerolting 
and  horbarons  than  anything  I  eonld  eoncelTe  of.  It 
was  plain  th&t  tho  returning  of&cen  had  the  legal 
right  to  pass  upon  and  certify  in  the  first  instance 
who  were  elected  membon  of  the  Lc^slatisre,  and 
that  they  were  justified  by  the  cridence  in  exolading 
bull-dozed  pari&hes,  but  It  was  equallT  dear  that 
their  return  was  not  conchislTe  upon  the  members 
[elected,  and  that  each  House  had  the  constitutional 
"Cght  to  pass  upon  the  returns  and  elections  of  its 
me'sobers.  and  to  set  aside  tne  action  of  the  Retum- 
loK  Board. 

The  two  houses,  when  organised,  had  *1so  tb* 
power  to  pass  upon  the  returns  of  the  election  of 
Governor,  and  they  alone  and  no  one  else.  Neither 
the  President  of  the  United  States  northe  Returning 
Board  has  any  power  or  right  to  p«as  upon  tfae  elec- 
tion of  Governor.  And  here  wie  difficulty  in  the 
X/ouisiana  case  commences.  Got.  Packard  contends 
that  a  majority  of  the  two  houses,  as  duly  returned, 
did  pass  upon  the  election  of  the  GoT?Tnor»  and  did 
return  that  he  was  duly-elected,  but  this  was  stoutly 
denied  by  (Jov.  Nichols.  Thia  vital  point  was  strong- 
ly asserted  and  denied  by  the  adverse  parties,  and  the 
liPtri-slaturc  of  Louisiana  divided  into  two 
hostile  bodies,  holding  separate'  sessions,  each 
asserting  its  legal  power,  and  denouncing  the  other 
as  rebels  and  traitors.  Gov.  P.-ickard  and  his  Iieeis- 
Inture  called  upon  Prealdent  Grant  for  the  aid  of  the 
Army  to  put  down  instirrectlon  and  domestic  vio- 
Ivnre  ;  and  hero  I  confess  that  If  I  had  been  President, 
instead  of  Oen.  Grant,  I'would  have  recognJied  Pack- 
ard and  Bostained  him  with  the  full  power  of  the  gen- 
*>nil  Government.  My  intense  feelinc  caused  by  the 
atrocrtie*  In  X^uisiana  may  hare  unduly  inflnenced 
inf.  But  Gen.  Grant  didnot  think  thia  was  his  duty. 
1  do  not  criticise  his  action,  but  only  state  the  facts. 
IJe  would  only  maintain  the  peace.  He  would  not 
recognize  Packard  as  Governor,  but  I  know, 
what  is  now  an  open  secret,  tho  strong 
l>ent  of  bis  mind  and  at  one  time  his 
decision  was  to  withdraw  the  troops,  to  recognize 
Nichols  and  thus  end  this  dangerous  contest.  He  did 
not  do  this,  but  kepi  the  peace.  But  daring  these 
two  montlis  the  whole  eondition  of  affairs  had  slowly 
changed  ID  Louisiana.  Tbe  Government  of  Packard 
bad  dwindled  away  until  scarcely  a  sliadow  of 
tirength  or  axrthority.  except  at  the  State-honse. 
■whore  it  was  upheld  by  Federal  bayonet.  The  Gov- 
ernment of  Nichols  had  extended  its  authority  over 
1  ho  State  and  was  in  full  existence  as  the  de  facto 
iiovernment  of  Loul.siana,  supported  by  the  great 
I  tidy  of  the  white  men  an  J  nearly  all  the  wealth  and 
Ir.teiligenca  of  the  State,  and  by  the  tired 
acquiescence  of  a  large  portion  of  the  colored  people, 
home  of  whom  deserted  Packard's  Legislature  and  en- 
tered thai  of  Gov.  Nichols.  Tbe  delay  and  hesitation 
of  Gen.  Grant  had  been  fatal  to  Packard,  and  when 
Ilayes  became  President  the  practical  question  was 
grtNitly  cl:a:?ged.  One  Ihinewas  clear,  that  a  Le^la- 
TTire  had  been  duly  elected  in  November  previous, 
and  was  then  in  existence,  though  separated  into  two 
parts.  If  the  members  lawfully  eleirted  could  be 
rozivenM.  they  alone  <*nnld  decide  the  question  of 
vrho  was  Governor  without  the  intervention  of 
;roop5.  and  their  decision  coald  be  supported,  if  neces- 
uiTv.  by  the  geaerrJ  Government.

CTVnii  SEKVICE  REFOIOI. 

Acnther  question  of  administration  promptly  re- 
ceived the  attention  of  President  Hayes. 

I  r  bas  been  the  standing  promise  of  both  political 
parties  for  50  years  to  secure  civil  service  reform 
Without  defining  what  was  meant  by  this  phrase — 
but  old  abtiscs  grew,  and  new  abuses  were  devised 
by  whi<'h  ihoci/il  service  of  the  Government  waa 
largely  made  an  ageacy^to  control  the  action  of  •pox- 
Tic-s  £nd  to  ini'.uence  the  rising  or  falling  fortunes  of 
politicians.  whUe  tbe  public  service  was  a  secondary 
cor.si'.leration.  Upon  this  subject  the  President  had 
i-;ear  and  radical  views,  and  ha«  not  hesitated, 
^gainst  tbe  opposition  of  m^y  in  his  owji  party,  to 
pnterupon  the  reform  of  these  abttaea.  Whether 
true  or  not.  it  has  been  believed  that  the  Custom- 
bouse  in  New-York.  the  great  agency  for 
the  collection  of  the  duties  on  Imported  goods, 
was  especially  open  to  these  abuses.  Mid  that  the 
public  iutc-rests  were  sacrificed  to  the  advancement  of 
;he  political  and  pecuniary  interests  of  individuals. 
The  President  directed  tliat  a  thorough  investigation, 
free  from  political  bias,  should  be  made  there  by  in- 
dependent  men  of  both  parties,  aimed  not  at  indi- 
\idnals  but  at  the  system  itself.  It  was  In  the 
progress  nf  this  investigation  tlmt  he  issued  the  order 
hw.iit  which  so  much  complaint  baa  beenmade.  Here 
it  i.-* : 

-  No  offlc*»  nhrnild  be  required  or  permitted  to  take 
part  III  the  manugcmont  of  political  oTcanizatioos.  cau- 
i:U5ies,  conrcntioni.  or  election  campaigns.  Their  right 
tu  vot«  anl  to  exi-rees  their  views  on  public  qneations. 
either  oniliy  or  through  the  rrcsa,  is  not  denied,  provided 
it  di)*-»  not  inte.rfere  with  the  discharge  of  their  offloial 
duties.  No  assessment  for  political  purposes  on  offlcers 
or  &ubordiuatea  should  be  allowed." 

This  order  was  promptly  met  with  denunciation  as 
an  invasion  of  the  rights  of  individuals,  and  Its  mean- 
ing and  purport  grossly  perverted.  In  the  "Western 
lountry.  where  our  political  movements  are  more 
free  from  the  influence  of  office-holders,  there  has 
always  been  a  strong  popular  feeling  against  the  In- 
terposition of  machine  politicians.  The  people  here 
aro  abundantly  able,  without  theud  of  nffico-holders. 
to  manage  their  conventions,  caucuses,  and  organiza- 
tions, and  it  hxs  always  been  a  matter  of  complaint 
even  iu  onr  cotintles  and  cities  whenever  rings  of 
oQice- holders  are  formed  who  are  offensively  officious 
la  controlling  popular  conventions,  and,  aa  a  rule, 
tuch  things  have  not  been  tolerated.  But  !n  the 
grvat  cities  the  office-holders  are  selected  not  only  to 
b«  active  at  tbe  election  or  to  inflneuce  the  election, 
bai  to  run  the  machinery  by  which  nonuna- 
tions  are  made  and  caucuses  held.  They  select 
delegates  to  conventions,  pay  their  expenses,  control 
tbelr  votes,  appear  as  Preaidcnt,  Secretary,  or  guid- 
ing genitis  of  the  convention,  and  thus  the  whole  ma- 
cWnerv  of  politic*  is  an  office-holding  monopoly,  of- 
f  ^n-sive  to  tne  mass  of  the  people,  and  tending  to  pre- 
vent the  just  control  of  political  movements  ny  free, 
unbiased  popular  oplmon.    It  was  this  abuse,  the 

freatest  of  alL  that  the  President  «tmck  directly  at. 
"he  President  has  not  and  never  did  object  to  the 
most  active  men  being  appointed  to  and  aspiring  for 
office.  He  would  naturally  select  from  among  the 
most  active  men  in.  private  life  those  who  are  to  hold 
public  offices,  and,  other  things  being  equal,  would 
kelect  one  of  his  own  party  rather  than  one 
'  of  the  adverse  party.  At  all  events,  that  is 
my  own  view.  I  think  it  would  be  a  ahade  dia- 
honorable  for  a  man  to  laek  an  office  from  the  ^fty

But  where  any  one  has  attained  office,  eixher  by  ap- 
pointment or  election,  he  ought  not  to  comddsr  that 
be  Is  therefore  to  be  the  ruBng,  guiding  maaacer  of 
conventions  and  caucuses  with  a  view  to  pot  up  this 
Republican  and  put  down  another,  or  to  pnll  down 
this  Democrat  to  put  up  another.  He  ouirht  to 
hold  his  office  with  seemly  modesty,  leaving  to  the 
people  to  run  the  machinery  of  their  own  political 
organizations. 

There  never  was  and  never  will  be  danger  in  our 
system  that  the  necessary  movements  of  the  people 
need  the  guidance  of  paid  ofQce-holders.  Of  late  the 
influence  of  offlce-holding  in  politics  has  grown  worse 
and  worse.  When,  13  years  ago,  I  heard  a  prominent 
memljer  of  the  House  of  Representatives  declare  that 
it  cost  him  $15,000  to  be  elected,  I  waa  happy  to  re- 
spond for  you  that  if  I  had  spent  $500  in  aeouring 
my  election  I  would  have  been  defeated,  and  I  can 
say  in  your  presence,  for  yon  know  it,  that  the  cus- 
tom then  prevailing  prevented  any  large  expenditure 
of  money,  and  that,  though  four  times  elected  to 
Congress  In  this  district,  I  didnot,  and  could  not  with- 
out danger  to  mvself,  snena  any  considerable  sums 
on  my  election,  but  of  late  the  expenses  of  popular 
elections  have  so  increased  that  we  are  in  danger  of 
the  very  evils  that  for  a  hundred  years  disgraced  the 
election  of  the  members  of  the  House  of  Commons, 
end  led  to  laws  of  the  greatest  severity  against 
bribery  and  corruption.  T  believe  in  the  order  of  tbe 
President,  and  hope  he  will  stand  by  it,  and  if  he  adds 
to  the  good  work  of  his  administration  thie  breaking 
down  of  this  offlce-holding  officiousness  in  the  man- 
agement of  campaigns,  this  runtiing  of  caucuses 
and  conventions  by  offloc-holdera.  and  forced 
assessment  from  unwilling  office-holders  for 
political  purposes,  and  will  secure  to  the  people  a 
free,  unbiased  control  of  their  primary  movements 
in  Uie  election  of  offloers,  he  will  have  accomplished 
a  work  second  only  in  importance  to  the  paclncation 
of  the  South.  The  order  of  the  President  does  not 
interfere  with  the  right  of  any  officer  to  vote  or  to 
express  fats  views  on  public  questions,  either  orally 
or  tbroufih  the  press,  and  I.  at  your  invitation,  taXic 
to  you  to-day,  but  you  wonld  regard  It  as  offensive  if 
I  should  undertake  to  manipulate  your  conventions 
to  secure  the  nomination  of  personal  friends,  or  in- 
terfere in  auy  way  with  your  free  choice  in  popular 
movements.  And  this  is  all  that  the  order  of  Presi- 
dent Hayes  undertakes  to  prevent. 

GE?a:iSE   APMIXISTRATIVE   REFORMS. 

I  come  now  to  speak  of  some  admiidstrative  re- 
forms that  are  usually  the  subject  of  demagogical 
promises,  but  are  always  an  imperative  duty,  and 
which  I  can  fairly  claim  has  been  faithfully  performed 
by  thia  Admlnbtratiou.  The  expenses  of  the  Gov- 
ernment in  many  branches  were  unneces-^arily  large, 
and  have  been  reduced  with  much  advantage  to  you, 
but  it  was  painful  to  execute  It,  from  the  necessity  of 
discharging  a  large  number  of  employes.  This  has 
been  done  in  all  the  departments,  but  mainly  in  the 
Treasury  Department,  which,  from  the  magnitude  of 
its  operations,  employs  throughout  the  Dnited  States 
about  12.000  persons.  In  one  bureau  alone, 
that  of  Engraving  and  Printing,  the  force  was  re- 
duced 505  persons,  making  an  annual  s.ivlng  of 
$300,000.  In  tlie  Ne^vYork  Ciwtom-house  the 
numbers  of  employes  has  already  been  reduced  ITti. 
making  a  sa\ing  of  §;2ri.").020.  and  this  process  has 
not  yet  ended  at  that  port.  At  Baltimore  the  num- 
ber of  employes  r^lnced  was  52.  and  the  amount 
saved  was  $17.-97.  In  the  New-Orleans  Custom- 
house the  number  of  emuloves  hvt  been  reducetl  8;>. 
making  a  saving  of  $n5.4,'n.  In  San  Francisco  the 
reduction,  not  yet  completed.  !s  estimated  to  amount 
to  $73,440.  in  Philadelphia  to  .'$5G.7.'iO.  and  in  Bos- 
ton  to  $122,740.  In  other  ports  of  the  United 
States  the  number  of  empli>yes  reduced  is  4ft,  mak- 
ing a  saving  of  $47. 154,  and  8  Apprnlsters  in  porta 
where  their  services  were  no  lotiger  needed  have 
been  dispensed  with,  at  a  saving  of  $23,500,  mak- 
ing a  renuction  in  th**  Customs  service  since  the  4th 
of  March.  1877.  of  S721.35fi  a  year.  This  process 
will  be  extended  to  all  the  Internal  Revenue  officers 
of  the  United  States,  with  a  very  laii^e  saving  of  ex- 
pense. The  total  *  annual  re<lnction  made 
thus  far  in  the  rents  paid  by  the 
United  States  for  buildings  in  public  use  *by  the 
Treasury  Department  is  ^4.  ^.52.  and  as  leases  fait 
in  this  reduction  will  be  laiTgely  iucreased.  Contracts 
for  cutting  the  stone  for  several  of  the  larger  public 
buildings  were  founded  upon  the  principle  of  tho 
Government  paying  to  the  contractors  tiieVogt  of  the 
labor  and  material  employed  in  the  cutting  and  15 
per  cent,  added  thereto.  The  contract  for  the  erec- 
tion of  the  biiildlna;  for  the  use  of  the  State.  War. 
and  Navy  Departments  wa«  so  changed  as  to  reduce 
its  cost  over  S700.tX)0.  Contracu  for  the  supply  of 
cnt  granite  for  the  court-house  at  Phlladelpbia  and 
the  Custom-house  at  Cincinnati  have  been  modified 
in  such  manner  as  will  effect  a  saving  of  $450,000. 
Similar  changes  are  to  be  made  in  the  contracts  for 
cut-stone  for  the  St.  Loul«  Ctistom-house  and  exten- 
sion of  the  post  Office  and  Sub-Treasury  at  Boston, 
which  will  doubtless  be  equally  favorable  to  the 
Government. 

A  still  more  dangerous  rlajw  ot  payments  from  the 
Treasury  was  for  old  claims  pending  in  the  Treas- 
ury Department,  many  of  them  founded  upon  ex 
parte  testimony  and  believed  to  be  fraudulent. 
Many  of  these  have  been  suspended  or  rejected,  and 
new  rules  in  regnrtl  to  such  claims  have  been  adopted. 
which  will  save  to  the  Treasury-  large  sums  of  money. 
and  I  hope  Congress  may  be  di^inoRed  at  its  next  ses- 
sion to  revise  the  whole  mode  of  aecnuntlnc  and  pav- 
ing these  claims,  which  in  many  eases  exposes  the 
Government  to  open  and  glanng  fraud.  I  have 
only  cited  these  urinci  pal  C'ises  of  administra- 
tive reform,  which  will  be  made  to  extend 
to  every  branch  of  the  Govern  ment,  and  no 
doubt  will  receive  tho  hearty  co-operation 
of  Congress.  The  only  rule  in  the  conduct 
of  public  bnsiness  is  '  that  which  a  prudent 
man  would  adopt  in  his  ov.^l.  The  Govenim»'nt 
oneht  not  to  be  ni2:£ari!ly  and  stlngv  In  puullc  dis- 
bursements; it  ouirht  to  re.-eive  no  labofor  sei^'ice 
that  It  does  not  fairly  pay  for;  but  a  waste  of  public 
money  not  only  makes  a  premium  to  office-holding, 
but  demoralizes  all  who  are  engaged  in  it.  A  close 
aud  careful  readjustment  of  the  civil  service  upon 
the  basis  of  correct  business  principles  will  bring  our 
national  expenditures  within  tho  amount  of  such 
moderate  taxes  on  whisky,  tobacco,  and  beer,  and  a 
reasonably  modemte  duty  on  imported  goods,  as. 
while  furnishing  protection  to  our  own  industries. 
will  not  cripple  our  commerce  or  place  our  induvtries 
at  a  disadvjintacco  in  forciim  competition.  I  Ijeiiove 
the  Administration  is  perfectly  %vulin:;  to  sluare  with 
Congre'^s  in  tho  labor  of  these  essential  reforms  in 
our  civil  8er\-ice. 

REDUCTION  OP  IXTERE.ST  ON  PrSLIO  DEBT. 
Much  the  largest  reduction  in  the  public  expendi- 
ture ha."*  been  effected  in  the  reduction  of  interest  on 
the  public  debt-  The  great  body  of  the  public  debt 
is  now  payable  at  the  pleasure  of  the  United  States 
at  par  in  coin.  As  this  debt  now  bears  an  interest  1 1 
6  ner  cent,  it  Is  manifest  that  If  money  can  be  bor- 
rowed at  a  less  rate  the  old  bonds  can  be  paid  off,  and 
tbe  reduced  interest  lessens  to  that  extent  the  burden 
of  the  debt.  Prior  to  tbe  lat  of  ilarch  my  predeces- 
sor had  sold  $50,000,000  413  per  cent,  bonds  at  par 
in  coin,  the  proceeds  of  which  had  been  applied  to  the 
redemption  of  6  T>er  cent,  bonds.  Since  the  1st  of 
March  there  have  been  sold  under  tbe  Reftinding  act, 
$135,000,000  41-3  per  cent,  bonds,  and  that 
amount  of  G  per  cent,  bonds  have  been  paid 
off.  or  are  being  paid  off  and  canceled 
tbtis  saving  to^  tbe  people  of  the  United 
States  $2,025,000  in  coin  for  this  year 
and  each  year  hereafter.  In  May  last  I  became  satis- 
fied that  the  credit  of  the  Government  was  so  ad- 
vanced, and  the  money  market  was  so  favorable,  that 
I  could  sell  at  par  in  coin  bonds  of  the  United  States 
bearing  Interest  at  4  ner  cent,  per  annum,  and.  with 
the  sanction  of  tbe  President,  I  took  the  responsi- 
bility  of  withdrawing  from  sale  $100,000,000  of  4»q 
per  cent,  bonds  and  substituting  4  per  cent,  bonds. 
There  was  great  doubt  among  bankers  and  bubiness 
men  hero  and  tn  Kurone  of  tho  ability  to  sell  these 
bond*  at  par.  and  I  had  plenty  of  advice  not  to  under- 
take the  task.  Germa">y,  now  one  of  tho  great 
powers  of  the  world,  had  recently  offered  her  4  per 
cent,  bonds  at  a  discount  of  more  than  5  per  cent. 
The  Russian  Government,  now  under  the  stress  of 
war.  was  aellin"  its  bomis  at  such  a  rate  tliat  they 
yielded  over  8  per  cent.  The  Portuguese  Gov- 
ernment had  issued  a  3  per  cent.  loan 
at  about  50  per  cent,  discount.  Great  Britain, 
the  highest  in  credit  of  all  the  great  nations,  had 
sold  her  3  per  cent,  consols  at  a  large  di-scount,  and 
now,  although  they  are  a  perpetual  annuity,  they  are 
daily  quoted  at  from  94  to  1)5  per  cent.  81111,  with 
the  favorable  condition  of  the  money  market,  with 
induatries  paralyzed  throughout  tbe  world,  money 
lying  idle  in  great  hoards,  with  our  credit  untar- 
nished, our  nation  confessedly  among  tho  leading 
powers  of  the  world,  with  great  resonrces  I  believed 
that  the  public  interest  and  public  duty  demanded 
that  the  effort  to  sell  these  4  per  cent,  bonds  should 
be  made,  and  that  it  would  bo  auccessfub  This 
great  national  loan  was  opened  by  popular  B\ibscrip- 
tion  in  tbe  United  States  on  the  ICth  of 
June,  and  within  30  days  afterward  fG7,- 
600,000  were  taken  In  this  country  and  $10,200,- 
000  in  Europe,  making  $77,800,000  sold.  This 
sum,  when  paid  and  applied  to  the  purchase  of  6  per 
cent-  bonds,  will  make  an  annnal  Raving  to  the  people 
of  tho  United  Statesof  $1,550,000.  The  ageregate 
of  the  saving  from  both  classes  of  bondssince  the  Ist 
of  March.  1877,  will  be  $3,581,000  a  year  in  coin. 
And  this  proeeas  of  saving  ha-*  just  co;nmenced.  We 
may  confidently  hoj«  that,  if  no  adverse  legislation 
■hall  be  had  ,that  will  injurion.sly  affect  the  public 
credit,  the  entire  amount  of  the  public  debt  bearing 
interest  at  over  4  per  cent-,  now  amounting  to  nearly 
<tl, 700.000,000,  may,  as  it  becomes  redeemable,  Ije 
converted  into  bonds  not  exceeding  4  per  cent. 
THE  BETURN  TO  SPECrs   PAYMENTS. 

And  now,  fellow-dtizens,  this  brings  me  to  the 
question  upon  which  there  Is  »o  much  diversity  of 
opinion,  so  many  strange  delusions,  and  that  is,  the 
question  of  specie  payments.  What  do  we  mean  by 
this  phrase  1  Is  it  that  we  are  to  have  no  paper 
money  in  civculation  ?  If  so  I  am  as  much  opposed 
to  it  as  any  of  yoti.  Is  it  that  we  are  to  retire  our 
greenback  etreulation  Y  If  so  I  am  opposed  to  it  and 
have  often  so  s^d.  What  I  mean  by  specie  pay- 
menta  ^s  simply  that  paper  money  onght  to  be  made 
equal  to  coin,  so  that  when  you  receive  it,  it  will  bny 
as  much  beef,  com,  or  clothing  as  coin.  Now  the  im* 
portance  of  this  cannot  bo  overestimated.  A  depre- 
ciated paper  money  cheats  and  robs  e^'ery 
man  who  receives  it  of  a  portion  of  the 
reward  of  his  labor  or  ptoduction,  and 
in  all  times  it  has  been  treated  by  statesmen  aa  one 
of  the  greatest  evils  that  can  befall  a  people.  -  There 
are  timea  ^when  sneh  money  is  unavoidable,  as  dur- 
ing war  or  great  public  calamity,  but  it  has  always 
been  the  anxious  care  of  statesmen  to  return  again 
to  the  BoUd  atandard  of  ooia.  Therefore  it  is  that 
:ao«d«^]Nna«BtavOca.aDMiA  atandanL  luKMM^LsdLiaA 


the  freat  bo47  of  tnteDlceoi  jnan  who  ctady  thaas 
qneshooa  aa  aa  tadlapenaabla  prereqaiaita  for  ateadv 
boiUnaaa  and  good  timea.  Kow,  xooat  ^  vim  will 
agree  to  all  thia,  and  will  oaly  dUfar  a«  to  the  modei 
or  time,  and  manner;  but  t£ere  ia  alaxfe  cXaaaof 

Eple  who  behove'  that  paper  ean  be,  aiu  ought  U* 
muAm  Into  money  without  axar  promise  or  hope  of 
ompUon ;  that  a  note  should  be  printed, 
"This  1«  a  dollar,"  and  be  made  a  legal  tender. 
I  regard  this  as  a  mild  form  of  Innaoy, 
and  have  no  disposition  to  debate  with  men  who  In- 
dulge in  such  delusions.  They  have  prevailed  to 
some  extent  at  different  times  in  all  countries,  but 
their  life  has  been  brief,  and  they  have  ever  shared 
the  fate  of  other  popular  delusions.  Conaresa  will 
never  entertain  such  a  proposition,  and,  tf  It  should, 
we  know  that  the  scheme  would  not  stand  n  moment 
before  the  Supreme  Court.  That  court  only  main- 
tained the  constitutionality  of  the  legal-tender  prom- 
ise to  pav  a  dollar  by  a  divided  court,  and  on  the 
ground  t^at  it  was  issued  during  tbe  war.  as  In  the 
nature  of  a  forced  loan,  to  be  redeemed  upon  the_ 
payment  of  a  real  dollar  ;  that  is,  so  many  prains  of 
silver  or  gold.  I  therefore  diBmiss  such  wild  theo- 
ries, and  speak  only  to  those  who  are  willing  to  as- 
sume, as  an  axiom  on  tills  subject,  that  gold  and  sil- 
ver, or  coined  money,  have  been  proved  by  all  human 
experience  to  be  the  best  possible  standards  of  value, 
and  that  paper  money  is  ^mply  a  promise  to  pay 
such  coined  money,  and  should  be  made  aud  kept 
equal  to  coined  money,  by  being  convertible  on  de- 
mand. 

Now,  the  question  is  as  to  the  thne  and  mode  by 
which  thia  may  be  brought  about,  and  on  this  sub- 
ject no  man  should  be  dogmatic,  or  atand  without 
yielding  upon  a  plan  of  his  own,  but  should  bo  will- 
ing to  give  and  take,  securing  tlie  best  expedient 
that  public  opinion  will  allow  to  be  adopted.  The 
purpose  and  obligation  to  bring  our  paper  money  to 
the  standard  of  coin  have  been  over  and  over  again 
announced  by  acts  of  Congress  and  by  the  platforms 
of  the  great  political  parties  of  the  country.  If  reso- 
lutions and  promises  would  bring  about  specie  pay- 
ments wfe  would  have  been  there  lona  ago ;  but  the 
diversity  of  opinion  as  to  the  mode  now — 12 
years  after  the  close  of  the  war — still  leaves 
our  paper  money  at  a  dlscotmt  of  5  per 
eent.  Until  this  is  removed  there  will  be 
no  new  enterprises  involWng  great  sum^  no  active 
industries,  but  money  wiU  lie  idle  and  watch  and 
wait  the  changes  that  may  be  made  before  we  reach 
the  specie  standard.  In  3  80 J)  Congress  pledged  the 
publlo-falth  that  the  United  States  would  pay  gold 
or  silver  dollars  for  United  States  notes.  Again,  in 
Jannary,  187.S,  after  more  than  a  year's  debate.  Cou- 
gres»  declared  that  by  tho  Ist  of  Jau.uary.  1879, 
the  United  States  would  pay  its  notes  in  coin.  The 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury  "is  expressly  required  to 

Erepare  for  and  niainlaln  the  redemption  of  all 
nited  States  notes  presented  at  the  Treasury  on 
and  after  that  date,  and  for  that  purpose  he  i&  author- 
ized to  use  all  tho  surplus  revenue,  and  to  sell  bonds 
of  the  United  States  bearing  4,  4*2.  and  5  per  cent, 
interest  at  par  in  coin.  It  Is  this  law,  called 
the  Resumption  act,  now  so  much  discussed  In  the 
naperB.  that  Imposes  upon  the  office  I  hold  moat  diffi- 
cult and  important  duties,  aud  without  replying  to 
any  attacks  made  upon  me.  I  am  anxious  to  convey 
to  you  personally  what  I  have  done  and  must  do  in 
obedience  to  the" provisions  of  this  act.  It  is  said  that 
the  law  is  defective,  but.  if  the  groat  object  and  nol- 
icy  of  the  law  is  right,  the  machinery  of  the  law  could 
ea.«»ilv  be  changed  by  Congress.  That  resump- 
tion can  bo  secured  and  ought  to  be  secured 
under  this  law  it  will  be  my  purpose  to  ahow 
yon.  and  I  shall  not  hesitate  to  point  out  such 
defects  in  the  law  aa  have  occurred  to  mo  in  its  exe- 
cution. 

THE  TWO  MODE3  OF  RKSCTCPTIOy. 
There  are  two  modes  of  resumption— either  to 
diminish  the  amount  of  notes  to  be  redeemed,  which 
Is  commonly  called  a  contraction  01  the  currency,  or 
by  the  accumulation  of  coin  in  the  Treasury,  to  en- 
able the  Secretary  to  maintain  resumption.  The 
one  practical  detect  in  the  law  la  that  the  Secretary 
is  not  at  lil)erty  to  sell  bonds  of  the  United  States 
for  United  States  notes,  but  mtist  sell  them  for  coin. 
As  coin  is  not  In  clreulatloa  among  the  people,  he  ia 
practically  prohibited  from  selling  bonds  to  the  peo- 
ple, except  by  an  evasion  of  the  law,  or  through  pri- 
vate parties.  Bonds  are  in  demand  and  can  readily 
be  sold  at  par  Ih  coin,  and  still  easier  at  par  or  at  a 
premium  in  United  States  notes.  The  process  of 
selling  for  Unlte*l  States  notes  need  not  go  far 
before  the  mere  fact  that  they  are  receivable  for 
bonds  would  bring  them  up  to  par  in  coin, 
and  that  is  specie  payments.  Unt  tho  reason  of  the 
refusal  of  Congress  to  grant  thia  authority,  often 
asked  of  it,  waa  that  it  would  contract  the  currency, 
and  thin  fear  i>t  contraction  has  thus  far  prevented 
Congress  from  granting  the  easiest,  plainest,  and 
surest  mode  of  resumption.  To  avoid  rontrartion.  It 
provided  tiint  national  bank  note*  may  he  issued 
without  limit  as  to  amount,  and  that,  when 
iasiued.  United  States  notes  might  be  retired  to  the 
extent  of  four-fifths  of  the  bank  notes  issued.  This 
was  the  onlv  provision  for  redeeming  I'nited  States 
notes  that  Congress  made  or  would  make,  and  this,  it 
was  8npp<vsed.  wonld  reduce  the  United  States  notes 
to  *3OO.O(X).0O0  iKsfore  .lau.  1.  187».  The  actual 
experiment  only  proves  the  folly  of  the  cry  we  had 
for  more  money,  more  money.  Here  was  free  bauk- 
inc,  a  free  and  almost  unlimited  ri^ht  to 
everybody  to  ismie  more  money,  but  unluckily  for 
viiniouary  theorista,  it  was  money  that  had  to  bo  se- 
cured :  not  wild-cat  money,  but  money  that  people 
could  sleep  upon  wlthont  fear  of  breaking.  The  re- 
sult was  that  under  free  banking  the  issue  of  circu- 
lation has  been  far  lees  than  was  expected,  and  there- 
fore the  reducUon  of  United  States  notes  waa  less. 
Still  there  was  some  reduction.  Greenbacks  have 
been  retired  under  the  act  of  Jannary.  1875,  to  thia 
time  to  the  amount  of  $22,905,700,  imd  near  $20.- 
OlX).000  of  circulation  were  issued  to  national  banks. 
Since  the  Iht  of  March  last  the  reduction  of  United 
btates  noten  has  been  95.145.2t>4,  and  this  reduction 
was  preceded  by  new  circulation  issued  to  banks, 
amounting  to  near  $6,500. OOiJ.  I  do  not  say  that  this 
is  the  only  reduction  of  the  currency  that  has  hap- 
pened, but  it  is  the  onlv  reduction  that  was  made  by 
thH  United  .States.  Toe  national  banlts.  under  a 
different  law  and  from  the  very  necessity  of  free 
banking.are  at  liberty  to  retire  their  currency  aa  well 
an  to  increase  It,  and  this  has  been  done  by  them 
since  the  l.st  of  Jannarv.  1875,  to  the  amount  of 
$30,624,612.  But  this  is  a  reduction  effected  by 
e.neh  bank,  guided  by  its  own  interest  aud  the  cir- 
culation it  can  safely  and  prudently  maintain.  There 
are  now  deposited  with  tlie  Treasury  bv  private  cor- 
porations, banks,  and  in<Uviduala.  $5^.  ITO.OOO  of 
United  States  notes.  Of  tnls  there  were  depottited 
bv  the  national  b.inks  at  their  la^t  statement,  made 
June  22.  $44,450,000.  and  they  have  in  the  cash 
reserve  held  by  them  $42,500,000  more  than  tbe 
amount  required  by  law.  clearlv  showing  that  there 
ia  no  want  of  currency  when  demanded  for  the  re- 
quirements of  bushiess. 

THE  IS«rE   or  RII.VEB  COIX. 

since  Jan.  1,  1S77,  the  United  States  has  issued 
$34,236,000  of  stiver  coin,  and  has  redeemed  with 
that  $21,080,000  fractional  currency,  now  almost 
superseded  by  silver  coin,  and  also  holds  $S,  100.858 
of  United  States  notes  for  the  redemption  of  frac- 
tional currency  still  outstanding.  In  this  there  waa 
no  contraction  but  a  substitution  of  coin  for  frac- 
tional currency.  It  was  an  error  to  make  the  retire- 
ment of  United  States  notes  depend  upon  the  Isaue 
of  bank  notes.  The  two  had  no  relation  to  each 
other,  but  the  retirement  of  United  States  notes 
should  depend  entirely  upon  the  amount  necessary 
to  be  withdrawn,  to  advance  within  the  limited  time 
the  residue  to  par  tn  coin,  and  the  simplest  mode  of 
doing  thia  waa  to  authorize  their  oonverslon  into 
bonds  at  the  pleasure  of  the  holder,  the  bonds 
to  bear  the  lowest  rate  of  interest  that 
would  in  ordinary  times  be  maintained  at 
par  in  gold.  To  this  the  objoctlon  is  made 
tiiat  wo  convert  a  nnn-interest-hoaring  note  into  an 
Interest-bearing  note,  and  that  ia  true ;  but  what 
right  have  we  aa  a  nation^-^ir  has  any  bank  or  indi- 
vidual— to  force  into  circulation  as  money  ita  note 
upon  which  it  pays  no  interest  (  %Vliy  ought  not 
anyone  who  ivsuoR  a  promise  to  v»y  "u  demand  be 
made  to  pay  It  when  demanded,  mi-  pay  interest  there- 
after I  wTiat  right  ha^  he  in  law  or  justice  to  Insist 
upon  maintaining  in  clreulttlon  his  note  which  he  re- 
fuses to  pay  according  to  his  promise,  and  which  he 
rofuaea  to  receive  in  payment  01  a  note  bearing  in- 
tereat  i  A  certain  amount  of  United  States  notes 
can  be,  and  ought  to  be,  maintained  at  par  In  coin, 
with  the  aid  of  a  moderate  coin  reserve  held  In  the 
troasun-.  and  to  the  extent  that  thw  can  be  done  they 
form  the  best  possible  paper  money,  a  debt  of  tho 
people  without  Interest,  of  equal  value  with 
coin,  and  rnore  convenient  to  carrv  and  handle.  Be- 
yond thia  the  riRht  to  issue  paper  money,  either  by 
tho  Government  or  by  banlcK.  is  a  dangerous  exer- 
cise ot  power,  injurious  to  all  classes,  and  should  not 
continue  a  single  day  beyond  the  uecessities  that 
gave  it  birth.  But,  If  Congress  should  see  proper  to 
confine  the  process  of  resumption  to  the  present  law, 
we  have  still  the  second  mode  of  resuming,  by  ac- 
cumulating coin  gradually,  so  that  when  the  time 
fixed  for  resumption  arrives  the  Treasury  may  be 
able  to  redeem  such  notes  as  are  presented.  In 
this  respect  the  Resumption  act  Is  as  fall  and  liberal 
as  htiman  language  can  frame  it.  The  Secretary  is 
authorized  to  prepare  for  resumption,  aud  for  that 
purpose  to  use  the  bttrpltu  revenue  and  sell 
either  of  the  three  classes  of  bonds,  all  of 
which  are  now  at  or  above  par  iu  coin-  The 
power  can  be,  ouRbt  to  be,  and  will  be  executed  If 
not  repealed.  This  accumulation,  both  of  silver  and 
gold,  can  be  made  by  arresting  from  exportation  our 
own  production  of  these  metals.  This  is  more  than 
suffiwent  to  snpnly  our  wants  for  this  purpose,  and, 
fortunately,  we  have  plenty  of  other  productions — 
com,  cotton,  wheat,  and  fabrics,  the  firdt  of  our  In- 
dustry, for  export.  Tills  country  Is  the  groatest  pro- 
ducer of  gold  and  silver  In  tbe  world.  Tlie  balance 
of  foreign  trade  is  in  our  favor.  During  the  last 
fiscal  year  our  exports  exceeded  otir  imports  in  gold 
value  tho  sum  of  $106,555,855,  and  this  balance  is 
Steadily  increasing. 

INCREASED  CBOP8  AND  MANUFACTITRES. 
This  year  Providence  bae  blessed  us  with  an  enor- 
mous crop  of  almost  every  production  of  the  farm  or 
plantation,  and  the  foreign  demand  is  largely  in- 
ereased  by  the  Bus^n  war.  Russia  is  otir  great 
competitor  in  supplying  Europe  with  bread,  and  she 
now  will  consume  her  own  products.  We  have  now 
reached  the  coin  basis  in  the  production  of  commodl- 
ties  for  the  foreign  market.  Our  exportation  of  home 
fabrics  has  Increased  and  is  increasing,  and  we  are 
now  competing  with  Manchester  and  Birmingham  in 
the  sale  of  products  that  have  made  those  cities 
famous  throughout  the  worid.  Pur  mairafactures  of 
cotton,  iron,  and  wool  now  rival  in  foreign  markets 
the  oldest  countries  of  Kurope.  We  have,  during  the 
five  months  of  President  Hayes,  made  an  actual  ac- 
cumulation of  currency,  and  m  gold  and  silver  coin 
and  bullion,  of  944,340,882.  From  the  Ist 
of  May  to  thia  time  we  have  added  to 
onr  coin  reserve  820,000,000  by  the  sale 
of    bonds,    without    disturbtog  the  money^  maricet

in  which  to  complete  the  task.  The  Mme  yrocresa 
that  has  been  made  since  the  Ist  of  March  continued 
12  months  lonzer  will  (»rtalnly  bring  us  to  tbe  spe- 
e(e  standard.  I  (eel  confident  In  aaying  to  you  this 
day  that^  If  undiirturbedLwith  or  without  a  change  of 
the  law,  every  dollar  of  United  States  hotea  will,  be- 
fore the  time  fixed  for  resumption,  bny  aa  mneh  aa 
an  equal  amount  tn  either  gold  or  silver.  A  eon- 
structlon  of  the  Besumption  act  has  often '.  been 
pressed  {upon  the  department '  that,  If  correct, 
would  make  It  still  more  easy  to  cany  it  into 
execution.  It  ia  insisted  that  the  Secretarv 
has  the  power,  In  preparing  for  resumption,  to  sell 
bonds  for  coin,  and  then  to  sell  tbe  coin  for  United 
States  notes  to  be  hoarded  in  preparation  forresumpf 
tion.  The  department  has  not  acted  upon  any  such 
construction,  but  has  sold  gold  only  in  the  current 
course  of  business  or  for  the  actual  redemption  of 
notes  supplanted  by  national  ttank  notes.  If  this 
power  is  exercised  it  should  only  be  in  pursuance  of 
the  plain  will  of  Congress,  and.  In  tbe  execution  of 
BO  delicate  a  duty,  no  power  should  be  used  except 
such  as  ia  clearly  given.  The  act  of  April,  1870,  for 
the  redemption  of  fractional  currency,  provides  that 
■Uver  coin  may  be  issued  in  exchange  for  United 
States  notes,  and  such  notes  shall  be  kept  as  a  special 
fund  for  the  redemption  of  fractional  currency.  This 
fund  and  the  ordinary  currency  balance  in  the  Treas- 
ury Is  the  only  paper  money  of  ita  own.  The  coin 
and  legal  tenders  deposited  m  the  Treasury  are  the 
property  of  private  individuals,  over  which  the 
Treasury  hi£a  no  control 

I  have,  f ellow-dtlcens.  I  hope  without  wearisome 
detail,  gone  over  some  points  on  this  question .  of 
resumption.  It  Is  a  dull,  but  important  topic,  which 
affects  your  daily  life,  tipon  which  my  official  duty 
compels  me  to  act,  and  I  asstire  you  that  Z  have  only 
acted  upon  the  clearest  convictions  of  public  inter- 
est. A  currency  of  United  States  notes  based  upon 
tho  public  credit,  always  convertible  into  coin,  and 
so  limited  in  amount  and  supported  by  reserves  tliat 
Its  convertibility  cannot  bo  endangered,  and  supple- 
mented by  a  bank  currency. iree  and  open  to  all 
alike,  based  upon  public  s6curit^o^  so  that  in  any 
event  the  note  holder  is  safe  from  loss,  alwavs  re- 
deemable in  coin  or  United  States  notes,  imllmfted  in 
amount  except  by  the  wants  of  business — this  is  the 
kind  of  paper  money  that  ^lll  start  again 
the  wheels  of  industry,  give  salli  to  your 
commerce,  labor  to  your  ariisans.  Thia,  in- 
deed, would  be  the  best  paper  currency  in 
the  world.  Let  this  currency  be  supported  by  a 
public  credit  against  which  a  whisper  or  a  doubt  can- 
not be  uttered,  and  your  public  debt  will  be  reduced 
to  its  lowest  possible  burden  of  interest,  and  will  be- 
come the  great  depository  of  the  savings  of  labor,  the 
iru.stee  of  tho  widow  and  orphan,  the  safe  rest  of 
capital  not  employed  in  active  industries.  These,  as 
I  understand  tnem.  are  the  great  financial  objects  of 
this  .Administration,  and,  with  your  permission  and 
the  sanction  of  Congress,  the  President  may  hope 
to  celebrate  his  outgoing  with  your  debt  reduced  to 
4  per  cent.,  and  every  note  of  the  United  States 
worth  par  in  the  best  coin  issued  from  tho  mint. 
You  now  occupy  the  forefront  of  this  battle.  I  be- 
seech you  to  uphold  his  bands,  and  not  let  the  delu- 
sions of  the  hour  or  the  temporary  laneuor  of  buHl- 
ne.ss.  which  you  share  with  tho  civilized  world,  turn 
yon  from  a  policy  which  you  have  sanctioned  and 
can  now  hope  to  realize. 

THE  GEygRAL  DEPRESSION  IN  TRADE. 
It  is  very  common,  fellow-citizens,  to  hold  the  Gov- 
ernment responsible  for  hard  times  caused  by 
the  ebb  and  flow  of  trade  and  production.  If  the 
cr<ip  fails,  tho  Administration  is  abused.  If  wages  or 
prices  fall,  the  Government  Is  blamed.  If  produc- 
tion exceeds  the  market  made  by  consumption,  it  is 
easier  to  abuse  some  ofBcer  of  the  Government  than 
to  find  out  the  real  cause.  And  so  it  happens  that, 
under  any  Government,  whatever  may  be  Ita  form,  if 
a  patiic.  or  hard  times,  or  over  production,  or  a  pes- 
tilence, famine,  or  plague  comes,  the  men  in  office 
are  made  tho  scapegoats  for  troubles  which  it  Is  far 
beyond  their  power  either  to  produce  or  remedy. 
And  so  now,  when  throughout  the  world  trade  is  lan- 
guishing and  wages  have  fallen,  and  industry  does 
not  meet  its  uKual  reward.  It  is  qnlte  common  fur 
gogues  to  say.  "  Turn  out  the  Adminlstra- 
domation  and  put  us  in,  and  all  will  be  love- 
ly." Such  arguments  are  only  fit  for 
fools.  Human  governments  can  have  but 
little  influence  over  the  causes  that  produce  the  rise 
and  fall  of  prices,  the  abundance  or  want  of  employ- 
meut.  These  are  governed  by  higher  laws,  and  the 
puppets  that  for  the  time  hold  official  authority  have 
as  little  Influence  over  these  great  movements  as  flies 
have  over  tbe  revolving  wheel.  At  this  time  otir 
countrv  is  the  most  prosperous  ifi  the  world,  though 
we  sutfer,  to  some  extent,  from  the  same  eauaea  tlmt 
bring  stagnation  to  the  Industries  of  ail  commercial 
countries^  I  have  here  copious  extract!  from  English, 
Belciau,  German,  and  tVeuch  papers,  all  nations  of 
wealth  and  power.sln  profound  peace,  and  all  showing 
extreme  adversity  anti  depression  In  trade  and  prices. 
The  Iron  trade  In  England  has  passed  through  ex- 
treme depression.  l>uring  Its  course  some  of  the 
largest  aud  wealthiest  manufacturing  con- 
cerns had  to  sucxnuub  to  the  severe  reaction, 
while  operatives  sufTered  in  the  greatest 
degree  by  the  iucreaned  suppl;^  of  labor 
and  greatly  dlmlnishtKl  prices.  The  iron  trade  in 
England  bits  fallen  nearly  50  per  cent.  The  Bel- 
gian iron  trade  was  almost  extinguished  and  the 
workmen  employed  were  driven  to  other  pu.  suits. 
This  industry  is  the  one  that  has  suffered  most  in 
onr  own  country,  while  we  are  rapidly  recovering  by 
nnoounded  natural  resources,  ana  by  reduced  cost  of 
production.  1  have  liefore  me  ah  EnglLih  paper 
showing  that  the  exports  of  Manchester  cotton 
fabrics,  especially  to  the  United  States,  have  been 
larnely  reduced.  The  amount  of  cotton  goods  ship- 
ped to  this  country  has  l>een  reduced  In  five  years 
from  I'Jit. 000. 000  vards  to  5i>.OO0.OO0  yards ;  of 
woolen  goods  from  *i.(K>0.O00  yards  lo  l,47«.0OO 
yards,  while  our  own  production  has  enormously  In- 
creased,  and  we  are  now  exp')rting  both  cotton  and 
woolens.  In  Germany,  of  32  companies  enumerated 
in  A  table  I  have  before  me  only  six  show  any  dlW- 
dend  whatever  for  the  laKtvear,  and  the  aca'regate 
accounts  show  a  losa  of  $l.mo<),000  on  the  year's 
upvrations.  Of  the  kilk  trade  in  franco,  which  is  one 
of  the  great  branches  of  their  industrv,  it  appears, 
from  a  paper  I  have  before  me.  that  there  are  abont 
30,000  silk  loomi  at  Lyons,  and  nearly  one-half  of 
these  are  now  idle.  Tlie  number  of  weavers  now  out 
of  employment  is  roughly  estimated  at  from  12,000 
to  iri-OOO.  I  might  follow  these  general  statements 
by  picturing  the  distresn  In  all  these  great  and  rich 
countriea.  compared  with  which  the  greatest  suffer- 
ing of  onr  pwoi^e  U  insi^ific&nt.  With  tu  the  worst 
is  over.  And  tbe  vast  mduatry  which  gives  employ- 
ment to  the  great  Iwdy  of  our  people — that  of  agri- 
culture— is  now  extremely  prosperous.  It  is  a  com- 
mon saying  that  "the  larmers  are  growing  rich," 
and  OS  they  grow  rich  other  Industries  will  thrive, 
and  trade  revive.  To  attribute  tbe  diatressea,  whicli 
I  know  you  sutf er  in  common  with  the  rest  of  man- 
kind, to'any  cause."*  growiuK  out  of  the  admiidstra- 
tlon  of  onr  Government,  Is  extreme  folly.  Unlike 
the  laws  of  most  European  oountriei,  our  lawi  are 
framed,  aa  far  as  possible,  to  promote  industry,  to 
protect  labor,  and  distribute  wealth.  Here  wo  give 
to  every  man  the  same  privileges,  civil  and  political, 
whether  he  be  ricli  or  poor,  or  whatever  may  be  his 
condition.  Ho  must  enter  into  competition  with 
others,  bat  he  has  no  discriminations  against  him. 
The  remedy  for  periodical  depressloni  no  human 
mind  can  point  out  or  administer.  That  must  be 
the  result  of  time,  of  industry,  of  economy.  Ko 
doubt  soon  Indiiatry  will  revive,  and  we  may  expect 
a  season  of  prosperity.  The  poor  do  not  suffer  alone 
from  hard  times-  'rlie  first  blow  must  fall  upon 
those  who  have  property  investments,  which  are 
swept  away,  and  then  the  evil  falls  upon  all  classes 
allltd.  All  that  yon  ean  ask  of  the  Govemraent  is 
that  it  will  administer  the  limited  powers  conferred 
upon  it  with  the  same  intelligence  and  economv  that 
you  wonld  expect  of  private  citizens,  doing  all  it  can 
within  limited  powers  to  confer  the  greatest  good 
upon  the  greatest  number.  This,  I  believe,  is  now 
being  dune  by  the  National  Government. 

THE  LABOR  8TEUKE3  DISCUSSED. 
Everyman  of  you  is  deeply  interested  in  the 
strength  and  power  of  this  Government,  though  its 
operations  may  bo  far  from  you.  This  was  shown  in 
the  imi>ortant  services  rendered  by  the  General  Gov- 
emmen  in  the  recent  wlde-extended  itrlkes  by  the 
employes  of  railroads,  which  reached  from  Philadel- 
p  hia  to  New-Orleans,  affected  all  the  great  trunk 
lines  of  the  country,  aud  for  a  time  paralysed  several 
powerful  States.  For  a  time  it  threatened  civil  war 
and  anarchy,  and  caused  a  large  destruction  of  life 
and  property.  The  Administration  waa  called  upon 
by  the  Governors  of  West  Virginia  and  Maryland, 
two  Democratic  States,  to  aid  in  putting  down  do- 
mestic violence.  Our  small  army  was  scattered  over 
tbe  Western  cotmtry.  The  laat  House  of  Represen- 
tatives had  refused  to  appropriate  for  pay  or  supplies 
for  the  Army,  lest,  forsooth,  it  might  be  used  In  a 
State  to  put  down  domestic  violence.  These  calls  were 
promptly  met  by  President  Hayes,  and  by  a  judldoui 
use  of  the  small  force  at  his  command,  by  the  skill- 
ful action  of  the  ofSccrs  in  command,  especially  of 
Gen.  Hancock  and  Gen.  Scbofleld,  the  regular  Army 
was  the  chief  means  uf  snppressing  domestic  violence 
extending  to  manv  States,  and  which  could  almost 
be  classified  as  ci\Tl  war.  No  just  man  will  withhold 
from  the  Administration  fair  praise  for  a  dlfllcult 
task  well  done.  These  strikes  bring  prominently  into 
American  politics  the  contest  between  capital  and 
labor  that  for  many  yean  disturbed  Great  Britain, 
and  was  the  foundation  of  the  scenes  of  the  Beioi  of 
Terror  during  the  French  Kevolutlon  in  1*93. 
Happily,  in  this  country  our  strikee  have  been  local 
and  unimportant,  but  the  great  change  made  in  our 
indtiatriea  sinco  the  war,  and  the  enormous  enlarge- 
ment of  our  mining  and  manufacturing  industries — 
the  great  increase  m  the  number  of  corporations  and 
their  extended  power  and  influence,  compel  us  to 
consider  thia  question,  and,  if  possible,  to  find 
a  remedy.  When  labor  ia  chiefly  confined 
to  the  cttltivation  of  the  boU  on  separ- 
ate farms,  no  contest  between  capital  and 
labor  can  arise,  and  where,  as  In  former  times, 
our  mechanics  were  independent  artisans,  each 
woricing  either  alone  or  with  a  few  others  in  shops 
scattered- thiTjugh  the  country,  there  could  bono  such 
trouble.  But  when  great  con»oration5  or  individuaia 
employ  lai^  numbers  of  persons  who  depend  upon 
their  aaily  labor  for  their  daily  bread,  and  whose 
waxes  may  be  affected  at  any  time  by  the  will  of  the 
capitalist,  there  has  been,  and  always  will  be,  an  irre- 
pressible conflict  between  the  man  who  furnishes  or 
directs  the  capital  and  the  laborer  who  does  the

practteally  concentrated  within  the  will  of  f  otir  men- 
When  Gxe  wAr  broke  out  the  oommon  cry  of  the 
West  was  that  no  rebel  cannon  ahonld  threaten  the 
commerce  of  the  Missirippl  Valley.  Otir  commerce 
should  flow  untaxed  to  the  sea.  The  entire  tonnage 
pasatog  any  given  point  on  the  Mississippi  River  Is 
now  estimated  to  bo  3,000,000  tons.  The  great 
lakes  on  the  north  have  been  spoken  of  since  the  dis- 
covery of  Amerioa  aa  being  the  wonderful  provision 
of  nature  for  ^e  vast  internal  commerce  of  the  con- 
tinent. The  whole  tonnage  passing  at  a  given  point 
on  the  line  of  the  lakes  Is  about  3,000,000  tons. 
The  Erie  Canal  In  New-Tork,  from  Buffalo  to  Al- 
bany, has  been  extolled  as  a  work  of  master 
statesmen,  which  has  contributedmoreto  the  interior 
development  of  thia  country  than  any  other  atogle 
work,  and  has  Immortalized  the  names  of  De  Witt 
Clinton  and  others.  The  entire  tonnage  of  this  canal 
during  the  last  year  is  officially  stated  at  2,418.423, 
and  of  «11  the  New- York  canals.  Including  Erie,  at 
4.172,179  tona.  These  three  water  arteries  of  com- 
merce— ^two  natural  and  one  artiflclal — furnish  a  ton- 
nage of  10, 17ii,  17i)  tons,  and  a  few  vears  ago  were 
practically  the  aole  means  of  transit  between  the 
East  and  the  West  and  the  North  and  the  South. 
Now,  within  a  very  few  yoars,  and  mainly  since  the 
close  of  the  war,  there  have  been  built  up  four  grand 
trunk  lines  of  railway  reaching  from  the  Atlantic 
seaboard  far  away  into  the  West,  with  their  lines  in 
all  directions  like  the  branches  of  great  trees,  whose 
organization  extends  to  almost  every  hamlet  in  the 
Maasiasippl  Valley  or  the  Pacific  slope,  with  a  com- 
merce so  vaat  that,  in  comparison  with  it,  the  great 
water  lines  of  commnnlcation  become  InsignificanL

Being  nearly  throe  times  as  much  as  the  entire  com- 
merce by  water.  This  immense  commerce,  wWch 
touches  the  business  and  home  and  life  of  every  clt- 
iaen  of  the  United  States.  East,  or  West,  within  the 
reach  of  ita  influence,  ia  controlled  in  all  its  parta  by 
the  ultimate  will  of  four  men ;  for,  though  there  are 
many  agents  employed  tn  this  vast  business,  with 
boards  of  Directors  imd  Intermediate  Superintendents, 
yet,  practically,  the  executive  and  controlling  power 
of  these  vast  corporations  rests  with  their  Presidents, 
whose  will  or  pleasure  may  raise  the  freight  on  pro- 
duce, and  thus  affect  every  farmer  in  the  laud,  or 
may  raise  or  lower  the  wages  of  every 
employe,  and  thus  affect  the  bread  and 
life  of  everv  one  dependent  upon  these 
laboring  men.  It  Is  just  to  say  that  the  gentlemen 
holding  these  Important  positions  are  among  the 
ablest  and  most  sagacloua  of  the  business  men  of 
thia  country,  but  they  must  necesaariiv  be 
governed  in  the  main  by  the  interests  or  the 
corporations  they  represent,  and  must  look 
to  those  Interests  as  the  dominating  and 
controlling  motive  that  must  guide  their  octs.  A  few 
vears  ago  the  freight  on  those  roads  was  deemed  to 
ne  unusually  liigh,  and  this  aroused  the  whole  farm- 
ing interest  of  the  West  under  the  name  of  Grangers, 
who  were  able  to  secure  hostile  legliation  iu  some  of 
the  States,  and  ao  to  control  public  opinion  that  the 
freights  In  due  time  were  reduced.  But.  more  potent 
than  all.  the  sudden  depression  of  business  caused 
by  the  panic  of  1873  led  to  a  rivalry  and  coraperi- 
tion  between  these  great  lines  that  in  a  short  time 
reduced  the  rates  for  freight  and  passengers  below 
the  actual  cost  of  the  businesa,  thus  tending  to 
destroy  the  capital  invested  in  more  than 
two-thirda  of  tho  tailway  lines  of  the  United 
States,  and  greatly  crippling  the  financial  con- 
dition of  the  trunk  lines.  These  corporations 
have  endeavored  in  various  ways  to  make 
agreements,  but  either  because  they  were  not 
faithfully  observed,  or  from  the  inherent  diffl- 
culty  of  making  combinations  between  power- 
ful rivals,  these  agreements  have  been  sue- 
ce.ssively  broken  and  abandoned,  and  now  it  may 
be  aaid  that,  on  an  average,  the  amount  received  for 
freiffht  and  passengers  does  not  pay  the  actual  cost 
of  running  tlie  lines.  The  result  has  been  that  the 
railroad  companies,  not  willing  to  see  their  property 
entirely  destmyed,  have  gradiuilly  reduced  the  rates 
of  wages  of  the  employes  until,  if  we  can  believe 
wiiat  has  been  said,  in  some  cases  they  are  barely 
sufficient  to  pay  for  tlie  merest  necessaries  of  life. 
Hence  the  strikes.  It  has  always  been  feared  that 
our  republican  system  of  government,  whicli  de- 
pends up<m  the  will  of  tho  majority,  could  not  long 
survive  the  condition  of  affairs  developed  by  thene 
strikes.  Macaulay  and  Allison  have  both  desci-ibed, 
in  prophetic  langnaice,  the  effects  of  a  struegle  be- 
tween capital  and  labor  In  a  Government  like  ours. 
but.  like  moat  Knglisb  vrrilers,  they  overlooked  the 
strong  conservative  power  in  a  Government  by  the 
people,  where  the  majority  must  alwa\*s  be 
independent  farmers,  mechanica,  and  work- 
ing men  who  have  respect  for  law,  religion, 
and  order.  We  have,  no  doubt,  large  numbers 
of  men  who  will  not  reason  about  this  matter,  but 
will  rush  to  the  torch  or  to  crime  in  curing  what  they 
regard  aa  wrongs,  but  the  great  body  of  our  people 
have  alwft}-s  shown  sufSclent  moderation  and  intelli- 
gence to  leart  them  to  find  a  peaceful  and  proper 
remedy  for  all  the  ills  which  life  may  develop.  And 
now,  fellow-citizens.  I  beg  you  not  to  believe  that 
this  is  an  easy  task,  and  not  to  reject  counsels  of 
moderation  and  forbearance.  The  laborer  is  worthy 
of  his  hire,  and.  in  this  country  especiallv,  should 
always  receive  enough  to  maintain  his  famUy  In  de- 
cency and  comfort.  But  we  cannot  secure  this  great 
blessing  by  intimidating  capital,  by  burning  houses, 
bv  preventing  other  people  from  laboring,  or  by  any 
vlolenee  or  crime.  Capital,  when  threatened,  shrinks 
away,  and  your  labor  cannot  be  employed  without 
capital.  You  cjiu  only  encourage  it*  employment  by 
a  reasonable  prospect  of  a  juat  reward  in  the  way  of 
interest  or  profit. 

THE  rrXTSO  OP-PREIOHT  R&.TES    BT  LAW  ADVO- 
CATED. 

I  wUl  not  tmdertake  in  this  speech  to  state  ideas 
that  have  become  convictioni,  that  are  not  now  en- 
tertained for  the  first  time,  becatiso  it  wonld  take  too 
long  ;  but  my  conclusion  was,  years  ago,  when  this 
subject  was  under  debate  in  tbe  Senate,  that  the 
framers  of  the  Constitution  had  wisely  provided  an 
arbiter  to  govern,  by  general  laws,  Inter-State  rail- 
ways, and  may  In  this  way  prevent  controversies  be- 
tween capital  and  labor  where  they  affect  the  com- 
merce of  the  country.  That  arbiter  Is  the  Congress 
of  the  United  States.  No  State  is  broad  enough  to 
deal  with  this  question,  for  these  railroad  lines  ex- 
tend through  many  States.  No  local  authority  can 
deal  with  it,  becatLse  the  local  authorities  may  be 
overawed,  or  under  the  influence  of  passion  or  re- 
sentment. Mayors  and  Governor.',  and  local  Militia 
are  well  enough  for  the  ordinary  protection  of  socie- 
ty, but  .  they  are  not  fitted  to  deal 
with  a  contest  between  great  bodies  of  citi- 
cens  In  the  same  community,  where  the  di- 
viaiona  are  so  wide  and  brood  as  to  amount 
to  domestic  violence  or  civil  war.  The  national  Gov- 
ernment is  expressly  authorized  to  aid  a  State  In 
putting  down  domestic  violence,  and  the  Congress  of 
the  United  States  Is  expressly  anthoriKed  to  regulate 
the  commerce  between  foreign  nations  and  the  sev- 
eral States,  and  the  commerce  thus  provided  for  ia 
now  conducted  mainly  by  these  great  lines  of  rail- 
way. The  framers  of  the  Constitution  could  not 
foresee  railroada.  or  the  \-ast  extension  of  our  coun- 
try and  Its  varied  Interest*  ;  but  they  did  provide 
that  commerce  In  all  Its  forms,  foreign  and  domestic. 
by  whatever  agency  conducted,  might  be  controlled 
by  an  arbiter  more  free  from  local  prejudice  than 
any  other  that  could  be  selected.  My  hope,  then,  la 
that  Congress  will  pass  laws  to  establish  and  limit 
maximum  rates  of  freight,  so  that  the  production 
of  a  farmer  may  not  be  in  danger  of  confl- 
fication  by  exorbitant  rates,  that  it  will 
limit  and  restrain  the  cutting  and  reduction 
of  freights  so  as  tn  destroy  the  ability  of 
railroad  companies  to  pav  fair  prices  for  honest  labor. 
and  prevent  the  companies  from  making  paupers  of 
men  who  perform  essential  functions  m  commerce. 
Congress  may  thus,  by  wleo  general  laws,  control  tOe 
meet  powerful  corporations  aa  well  as  the  humblest 
citizens-  There  Is  one  thing,  however,  which  aJl  men 
ought  to  tmdorstand,  whatever  may  be  their  wrongs 
or  injuries,  that  in  our  free  ajfitem  there  is  but  one 
remedy,  and  that  is  by  peaceful,  lawful  appeals  to 
the  constituted  authorities,  both  State  and 'national. 
No  man  has  a  right  by  violence  or  crime  to  redress 
hit  injuries.  No  Government  can  live  ^where  mobs 
can  make  lawa  and  prevent  other  luborora  from  work- 
ing. The  right  of  a  laborer  to  refuse  to  work  without 
such  pay  as  he  demands  is  clear  and  unquestionable,  ■ 
but  whatever  civil  remedies  tbe  law  may  give  him 
he  cannot  resort  to  violence  to  prevent,  either 
the  movements  of  commerce  or  the  employment 
of  others,  without  endangering  our  whole  system, 
and  encountering  the  full  force  and  power  of  the 
Government.  The  very  fact  that  the  stopping  ot 
trains  on  the  four  great  lines  of  railway  would  bring 
hunger  and  want  to  millions  of  laboring  people,  and 
deprive  other  millions  of  a  market  for  their  product, 
would  array  against  striking  laborers  who  resorted 
to  violence  the  whole  power,  not  only  of  the  Govern- 
ment, but  the  moral  and  physical  force  of  the  bal- 
ance of  the  comm^inity.  When  laboring  men,  or  any 
class  of  men.  resort  to  violence  and  crime  to  protect 
even  real  rights,  they  muat  be  dealt  with  in  the  same 
way  as  others  who  violate  the  law.  however  much 
men  may  sympat  iiiae  with  their  distress.  I  am  stat- 
ing only  what  the  law  has  always  provided ;  aud 
with  full  sympathy  in  an  honest  demand  by 
laboring  men  for  fair  wages  for  a  fair  day's  work. 
We  must  obey  the  law  and  we  must  punish  any  viola- 
tion of  the  law.  Life  must  be  protected  and  pro- 
perty also.  These  are  the  coumtluns  upon  which 
society  exists,  and  no  part>'  can  temporize  or  hesitate 
iu  the  face  of  an  open  revolt  against  those  principles 
of  public  order.  But.  while  this  is  true,  we  must  wot 
fail  to  examine  the  complaint  of  the  hurableat  citizen 
and  give  to  him  all  the  protection  aud  all  the  remedy 
that  a  just  government  can  give. 

And  now,  feliow-cUiiens,  fii  conclusion,  allow  me 
to  express,  so  far  as  lauiruatje  enables  me  to  do  so, 
my  Iieart  felt  thanks  for  the  courtesy  and  kindness 
you  alwavs  have  shown  me.  not  only  during  this 
short  visft.  but  Iu  all  the  time  I  have  lived  among 
you.    I  can  only  cay  I  thank  yon.

CONGBXSSlCA^r  TOWNSKND  SENDS  HOXE  AIT 
KNTHUSIASTIO  EEPOBT— HIS  IOWA  FABM 
IN  PAKTICUIiAE, 

The  Troy-  limes  prints  a  letter  from  Hozi. 
Martin  L  Townoend,  written  on  hia  exten^va  Iowa 
form,  and  giving  some  account  of  hia  observations 
with  reapect  to  our  Western  grain  crops;  It  la  dated 
Greenwood  HHl  Farm,  near  Fifteen-mile  Grove, 
(Grundy  Cotmty.)  Iowa,  10th  inat.,  and  aays: 

"  I  awakened,  August  2,  on  the  lAke  Shore  ears 
moving  westward,  a  little  east  of  Aahtabula,  Ohia 
I  began  to  look  out  for  the  crops,  and  have  carefully 
noted  their  condition  from  that  place  to  this,  losing 
no  half  mile  of  the  700.  From  Aahtabula  westward 
through  Ohio  and  all  of  Indiana  a  rainy  and  cold 
Spring  would  aeem  to  have  been  followed  by  an  ex- 
ceptionably  dry  Summer,  and  for  a  large  portion  of 
tbe  distance  the  early  crops  seem  but  moderate,  and 
the  com  much  of  it  late  and  thin,  and  a  considerable 
portion  utterly  hopeless.  I  had  seen  but  little  to  ex- 
cite my  admiration  after  leaving  the  burdened  fields 
of  middle  New-York  until  I  reached  Chicaco.  On  the 
morning  of  the  3d,  when  I  started  for  Iowa,  a 
new  scene  broko  upon  me.  The  area  of  crops  has 
never  been  equaled  before,  and  their  excellence  cer- 
tainly was  never  surprssed  in  this  or  any  other 
country.  Six  years  ago  we  saw  in  Illinois,  from 
Chicago  to  tbe  Miasissippi.  a  continued  succession  of 
wheat-fields.  There  was  not  wheat  enough  now  visi- 
ble to  furnish  bread  for  the  population,  but  the 
corn-fields,  the  oat-fields,  and  the  timothy  meadows 
stretch  on,  on  without  end.  Com  Is  the  favorite 
crop,  and  the  rich  dark  green  of  leoves  and  stalks 
rising  to  tbe  height  of  nine  to  twelve  feet,  sur- 
mounted by  ita  beautiful  tassel,  pre.^iented  specimens 
of  vegetable  beauty  such  as  I  have  .scanned  for  in 
vain  in  other  regions.  The  com  is  late,  but  should  it 
ripen,  as  the  hopeful  believe  it  will.  lUtnois  will  yield 
near  300,000.000  of  bushel-s  and  Iowa  not  fall 
much,  if  any.  short  of  175.000.000  of  bushels.  If 
com  be  not  king  he  will  be  at  least  a  verj-high 
officer  in  the  Government.  Oats  were  never  so  good 
nor  half  so  abundant. 

Iowa  has  long  been  my  favorite  State,  and  although 
r  thought  while  in  Dlinois  that  Iowa  must  have 
bipen  beaten  for  this  year  at  leasts  I  foand  on  exam- 
ination tliat  Iowa  has  this  year  as  ever  vindicated 
her  claim  to  supremacy.  I  have  no  language  in 
■which  to  describe  the  vegetable  wealth  here  spread 
out.  But  I  can  give  you  one  fact  which  will  enable 
you  in  some  measure  to  conjecture  what  would 
meet  the  traveler's  eye.  I  sit  at  this  moment  at  a 
point  about  150  miles  west  of  tlie  MiasIasippL  It  Is 
safe  to  say  that  over  that  1.50  miles  through  the 
wliolo  State,  north  and  south,  there  is  not  one  acre 
in  Iowa  that  has  not  this  j-ear  borne  a  Spring  crop  or 
a  crop  of  rich  timothy  clover  or  Kentucky  Tilne 
grass.  Nineteen  years'  ago  fttur-fifths  of  this  land 
was  unbroken  prairie-  In  tbe  County  of  Grundy. 
where  I  write,  not  one  acre  in  a  thousand  had 
been  touched  by  man.  To-day  it  ia  all  sub- 
dued, covered  by  happy  homes,  com-fieida.  wheat- 
fields,  and  oat-flefds  spread  on  every  side,  and  you  see 
everywhere  in  inclosed  pasttires  upon  the  slope*  of 
the  whilom  prairie  the  most  beautiful  cattle  that 
ever  gladdened  tbe  eye  of  man,  fattened  upon  tho 
rich  grasses  until  they'  axe  ready  for  the  shambles. 
Yesterday  it  was  said' that  no  man  living  would  see 
this  region  so  settled  that  the  comfort*  of  life  could 
be  obtained  here.  To-day  this  region  is  feeding  two 
contlnenta.  And,  let  me  add,  the  hard  timea  that 
have  caused  such  misery  and  sweeping  destruction 
at  the  East  have  never  passed  west  of  Chicago. 
True,  the  price  of  labor  has  been  somewhat  reduced, 
but  it  lias  been  caused  only  by  Immigration  from  the 
East.  Employment  is  still  abundant,  and  every  enter- 

f)riae.  whetheragriculturalormechauical,  is  successful 
f  not  affected  by  causes  other  than  the  condition  of 
the  eountey.    The  harvest  weather  is  perfect.    The 
prairie  breeze  blows  freshly  from  9  o  clock  A-  M. 
until  5  o'clock  P.  31.,  when  it  dies  away  into  a  per- 
fect calm.     The  harvesters  are  fanned  with  this  de- 
liehtful  wind,  while  the  sun  beats  with  the  heat  of 
llO^"  upon  the  glowing  cornfields.    The  vegetable 
growths  here  are   unparalleled  in  the  East.    I  havo 
spoken  of  com  and  oats,  and  wheat  is  the  best  gath- 
ered in  10  years.    I  see  about  me  on  the  farm  400 
tons  of   timothy  hay  gathered  and  in  the  stack.    I 
write  this  in  the  door  yard  under  the  shade  of    ever- 
j  greens  20  feet  high,  which  have  g^rown  In   10  years 
I  from  the  ground,  and  in  the  breath  of    20  acres  of 
I  thick  groves  planted  during  the  last  13  years,  and  in 
j  which  many  trees  appear  whi<*h  have  attained  the 
height    of    40.    ,50,   and  even  GO  feet.    I  admit  the 
I  charge  of   being  an  enthusiost  about  Iowa.      But 
from  him  who  comes  and  sees  I  shall  trust  to  obtain 
pardon."  

A  PEISOXERS  TJiAIXED  MOVSE. 
The  Xew-Haven  (Conn.)  Blister  tells  the  fol- 
lowing of  the  alleged  murderer,  Andersen,  who  is 
awaiting  a  new  trial  at  the  County  Jail  in  that  city  : 
"He  some  time  since  caught  a  mouse  in  his  cell, 
caged  him,  and  has  carefully  trained  him.  Andersen 
will  hold  a  string  suspended  from  his  tinsers,  and  in 
broken  English  command  the  mouse  to'np.  likoa 
gailor.' whereupon  The  little  animal  will  lay  hold  of 
the  5=trine  with  his  feet  and  climb  to  the  prisoner's 
hand-  The  mouse  will  also  sit  at  command  on  bis 
hind  legs  on  a  teacup,  will  crawl  up  the  prisoner's 
face  through  his  mustache  and  over  his  nose,  and 
finally  jump  from  the  man's  head  to  bis  hand,  com- 
pleting his  performance  with  a  graceful  bow.  One  of 
the  most  interesting  things  concerning  the  history  of 
this  little  acrobat  is  the  great  love  it  haa  for  tlie 
prisoner.  When  Andersen  was  moved  a  few  weeks 
ago  to  another  and  a  darker  cell,  the  mouse  was  lost, 
and  although  carefully  sought  after  by  the  keeper 
could  not  be  found.  Anderson  was  deeply  grieved 
over  tiie  disappearance  of  his  tiny  companion,  who 
he  feard  had  been  killed,  and  even  the  prison  officials 
expressed  regret  that  the  little  creature  should  have 
dropped  so  completely  and  mysteriously  out  of  the 
usually  dull  routine  of  prison  life.  Great  was  the 
joy  therefore  of  Andersen,  and  of  all  In  the  jail, 
when  one  dav  the  mou'w  made  its  appearance  at  the 
door  of  Andersen's  new  cell,  and,  running  In.  re- 
sumed its  acustomod  place  by  tho  prisoner's  side. 
It  is  stated  that  the  little  animal  seemed  as  greatly 
rejoiced  as  its  master  over  the  reunion." 

MORE  A  XTl-REXT  TRO  UBZE. 
The  Albany  Times  of  Wednesday  erenin^ 
says:  "Sunday  afternoon  Col.  Walter  S.  Church 
visited  the  De  Pree'st  farm,  in  East  Greenbush,  with 
kindly  Intentions  toward  the  tenants,  when  Tommy 
De  Freest,  said  to  be  somewhat  weak-minded,  made 
an  attempt  upon  the  Colonel's  life,  drawing  a  pistol 
and  attempting  to  fire  it-  Col.  Church  heard  the 
noise  made  in  cockinii  the  pistol,  and  turned;  tbe 
cap  snapped,  bnt  the  pirt-ol  missed  fire.  In  an  in- 
stant the  Colonel  caught  the  arm  of  De  Freest,  and 
held  it  as  if  in  a  vice.  A  desperate  struggle  ensued^ 
during  which  Conrad  Mourner,  another  tenant,  came 
to  the  rescue  of  Church,  and  both  succeeded  in  get- 
ting the  pistol  away  from  De  Freest,  who  then  at- 
t<»mpted  to  strike  the  Colonel  with  a  apade.  but  the 
latter,  picking  up  a  chair,  demanded  De  Freest  to 
dron  his  new  weapon,  which  he  did  and  gave  ud  tbe 
struggle.  De  Freest  had  an  Indian  with  him  In  the 
house  who  haa  been  for  some  weeks  with  the  notori- 
ous Peter  Finkle  in  his  anti-rent  raids,  and  was  doubt- 
less there  to  assist.  In  the  scuffle  De  Freest  called 
twice  for  the  Indian,  but  ho  prudently  remained  in 
another  room,  and  did  not  interfere.  CoL  Church 
has  sworn  out  a  warrant  for  the  arrest  of  De  Freest 
on  the  charge  of  o-isault  with  Intent  to  kill." 

A  WOZTAXSFEAT  WHERE MEX DARED  XOT. 
The  Sacramento  (Cal.)  Bee  relates  the  follow- 
ing :  ' '  Some  few  days  ago,  as  the  Freeport  ferry  was 
taking  a  load  of  passengers  across  the  river,  and 
when  about  half  way  over,  the  rope  which  Is  attached 
to  the  bank,  and  by  means  of  which  the  boat  is 
towed,  broke.  Consternation  reigned  among  the 
passengers ;  none  of  the  men  could  swim ;  the  boat 
waa  drifting  down ;  there  was  nothing  on  board  by 
which  it  could  be  paddled  or  its  movements  directed. 
For  a  few  aecondR  silence  and  inactivity  reigned ; 
then  a  strong  and  healthy-looking'  Canadian  woman. 
seeing  that^the  men  could  do  uothinc,  proceeded 
calmly  to  take  off  her  shoes  and  stocldngs.  Mod- 
esty forbade  the  removal  of  much  more,  and,  ar- 
raved  as  weichtily  as  Horatins  Coclos  was  when  the 
bridge  fell  and  he  jumped  into  the  yellow  Tiber  with 
his  harness  on  his  back,  tlie  caueht  a  rope  in  her 
teeth,  plunged  into  the  muddy  current,  and  swam  for 
shore-  There  were  no  exultant  Romans  on  the  liank 
to  greet  her  with  loud  plaudlta,  but  tho  suddenly 
cheerful  faces  of  the  *  lords  of  creation'  on  tho  boat 
were  beaming  upon  her  with  eyes  of  admiration.  She 
reached  the  bank,  tied  the  rope  to  a  strong  tree,  and 
tho  men  hauled  the  boat  ashore." 


EDUCATION  jy  GEORGIA. 

The  Columbtia  (Ga. )  Snquirer  of  the  15th 
inst.  aays :  "  Tfae  public  school  question  has  given 
our  Constitntional  Legislators  some  tronble.  aud 
thus  far  they  have  agreed  to  prohibit  the  people  of 
Georgia  fipm  giving  an  education  to  their  children. 
The  '  Oonvontionista '  say  that  two-thirda  of  the  qual- 
ified voters  of  a  county  must  vote  in  favor  of  a  tax 
for  school  purposes  before  such  a  tax  ean  be  leried. 
Now  It  is  well-known  that  nothing  but  a  general  elec- 
tion, with  some  important  iaaue  at  stake,  ean  secure 
a  poll  of  two-thirda  of  the  quaUfled  voteta.  ThU  la

AX  OLD  COXVICrS  VAGARIES. 
The  Boston  Post  of  Tuesday  says  :     *'  James 
Smith,  ^7  years  of  age,  who  recently  finished  a  sen- 
tence in  the  State  Prison  as  a  common  thief,  is  a 
character  of  no  slight  peculiarity.    He  has  been  in 

f>rison  three  times,  firat  more  than  50  years  ago.  He 
t  was  who  deceiveid  ex- Warden  Robinson  with  a  tale 
of  hidden  gold  on  Cape  Cod.  and  who  escaped  by 
pushing  the  unsuspecting  Warden  into  a  nine-feet 
deep  well  which  another  trusting  soul  was  digging  in 
tbe  sand  there.  He  seems  to  have  falthln  the  gold 
story,  however,  for  before  leaving  the  prison  the  last 
time  Smith  said  when  he  got  out  he  snould  seek  his 
hidden  treasure,  and  then  build  a  vessel  for  pirate 
service.  He  visited  the  prison  surgeon  and  one  of 
the  prison  clergymen,  and  offered  them  $10,000  i>er 
month  to  go  on  nis  vesseL  He  said  he  would  make 
the  Warden  licli,  as  his  treasure  amounts  to  $250, 
000,000." 

THE  DES  MOIXES  RATIDS. 
A  Telegram  from  Keokuk,  Iowa,  to  the  Chica- 
go Inter-Ocean,  under  date  of  15th  inst.,  says: 
"  The  Grovemment  canal  around  the  Des  Moines  Bap- 
ids  of  tho  Kisslssippt  extending  from  this  city  to 
Montrose,  a  distance  0/  13  miles,  is  so  far  completed 
as  to  admit  the  passage  of  boats.  The  work  has 
been  a  stupendous  one,  embracing  a  series  of  veara 
in  its  construction  and  costing  raillious  of  dollars. 
The  opening  of  so  important  an  improvement  de- 
mands public  recognition,  aud  the  citizens  of  Keokuk 
are  now  arranging  fur  a  grand  celebration  in  honor 
of  the  event,  To-nigbt  l3»e  City  Council  ia  la  session

to  order  and  the  protection  of  our  usual  affairs.  All

pity  for  the  hidden  ones.  Hence  was  raised  up 
the  Iklansion  of  Divine  Bliss,  for  exhuming,  assort-

ured  merit  Remains  not  yet  fleshlesa,  the  mus- 
es bebw  yet  nnmetamorphosed,  were  heoneathed  to 
time.  'Now,'  thin^  the  A^orter  to  himself,  'if 
cycles  and  moons  flow  by  unobserved,  and  I  should 
rest  after  10  years  from  assorting  remains,  my  de- 
■Ire  to  perxmbnlate,  grapple  and  remove  being  sa- 
tiated, my  bill  of  exoensea  would  then  amount  to 
myriads.'  ^Vho  ejtn  be  an  axempUr  of  rigid  law  and 
do  such  thing  1  But,  oh  1  regret;  the  Mansion's

aod  aU  the  towns  urglnc  us  to  assort  remains 
with  an  Imootuosity  lUto  aparklina  fire.  Therefore 
the  business-house  delegates  assembling  in  congress

export  them  to  purchase  warrants  by  subscription — 
a  true  one  that  could  be  mutuallv  trusted.  Now,  of 
the  patriut  neighbor?)  and  business  hoases  there 
were  hundrodn  of  seals  electing  the  man  Kah  Mini;. 
supposing  that  by  the  strength  of  his  genius  he  could 
p«tty  much  conquer  his  office.  Kah  Ming,  concur- 
ring with  the  people's  decision,  put  forth  three 
bnnness  hoosee  as  surety  to  reassnre  the  peo;)le, 
and  the  two  parties  joined  In  a  contract  which 
tends  as  evidence  that  from  date  he  and 
they  are  mutually  at  peaco.  Who  dare  shoulder  the 
wrath  of  spirits  gone  before,  by  turning  his  back  on 
the  righteous  decision  before  his  eyes,  and  when  he 
has  risen  up  and   done  so    could   he  still   do  more  1 

S\ow  somo  villains  have  united  in  a  cabal  aud  having

PBOBABLS    DISPOSITION    OF    HIS    PROP- 

KKTT. 

From  the  RoektaUr  C77uon,  Aug.  15. 
.  It  will  undoubtedly  eurprlse  the  majority  of 
persons  who  were  acquainted  with  the  deceased  gen- 
tleman to  learn  that  he  died  Intestate.  Since  his 
death  a  thorough  search  has  been  made  to  find  a  doo- 
unaot  giving  zHutleolars  as  to  how  ha  wished  to  dia- 
pooe  of  his  wealth,  but  not  a  scrap  is  to  be  found  any- 
where. A  schedule  of  the  personal  property  has 
been  made,  and  it  amounts  to  ^31>.550.  The  real 
estate  Is  valued  at  $40,000,  making  him  worth 
ta  the  neighborhood  of  $600,000.  The  charitable 
bistltatlona  are  the  ones  who  will  suffer  the  most  by 
thia  oversight,  as  it  is  a  well-known  fact  that  Mr. 
Brooks  latcnde<l  to  leave  several  of  them  valuable 
legaelee.  Ue  had  for  several  years  i^arded  these 
hutltatlona  as  *Tnnng  the  most  valuable  in 
the  community,  and  had  alwars  sua- 
ialued  them  liberally.  Ihuing  the  past 
Cewyeazs  of  his  life  ho  gave  in  the  neighborhood  of 
(200,000  to  various  Inititntlona  at  home  and 
ftbroad.  He  was  a  man  who  preferred  not  to  let  his 
Left  hand  know  what  his  right  dispensed,  and  noth- 
\d%  mortified  him  more  than  to  see  his  name  appear 
hi  print  in  connection  with  any  of  these  gifts.  His 
most  intimate  friends  five  as  the  reason  of  his  mak- 
ing no  will  that  he  aid  not  realize  his  approaching 
end.  The  evening  previous  to  Iiis  demise  he  was 
well  enough  to  be  aruand,  and  felt  as  stroui;  as  usuaL 
Betiring  to  bed  he  slept  soundly  till  9  o'clock  next 
morning,  when  he  waa  awakened.  It  was  then 
noticed  that  a  great  change  had  come  over  him, 
and  Dr.  Moora  was  sent  for.  By  11  o'clock 
he  waa  unconscious,  and  never  rallied.  Had 
time  been  granted  him  he  would  undoubtmlly  have 
made  a  auitablf)  disposition  of  his  l»rgo  nit^ans,  but 
now  the  property  wdi  be  divided  between  the  nesr- 
MlrelaUrea  who  consist  of  two  brothers.  There  is 
ftlso  a  son  or  a  niece,  but  under  the  law  the  third  geu- 
■ratior  has  no  representation  in  the  personal  proper- 

Sr,  althouKh  it  has  In  the  real  estate.  The  charitable 
onations  of  Mr.  Brooks  have  extended  over  a  period 
of  years,  and  for  the  past  20  the  various  charities 
hare  had  reason  each  year  to  be  thankful  for  his 
generosity.  Among  the  larger  amounts  donated 
By  him  may  be  mentioned  the  sum  of  $5,000  to 
iTof.  Ward  for  his  cabinet  in  the  BocheBter  Uni- 
TKsitT.  This  gift  was  made  in  1861.  In  1370  he 
rave  uie  Homer  Academy  $1,200.  In  1876  he  gave 
Prof.  Ward  $50,00O  toward  establishing  a  cabinet  of 
natural  aciences  at  the  University  of  VirEinJa,  wiiich 
be  subsequently  increased  by  a  further  donation  of 
$13,  ISA.  In  the  same  year  he  also  presented  the 
Washington  and  Lee  University  inVlrfniinia  with  $25.- 
000.  lAst  year  he  gave  tne  Indnstrial  School  $5,000, 
the  City  Hospital  $10,000,  St.  Mary's  Hospital  $10.- 
000,  and  the  Female  Charitable  Society  $5.000.

Orphan  Asylum,  Industrial  School  Female  Charita-

would,  if  aggregated,  amount  to  a  large  sum.

Thtt  Chicago  J\m«tf  of  the  15th  says : 
"  CKpt  Myeiif  of  the  schooner  J.  W.  Doane,  re- 
port* thet  he  encoimtered  a  waterspout  a  little  be- 
low Gtoue  Point  and  about  10  miles  off  the  land, 
betw— ^  4:30  and  5  o'clock  on  yestorday  morning. 
He  was  on  deck  a»  the  time,  and  had  his  attention 
dineted  to  what  appeared  to  be  a  squall  rapidly  trav- 
aUttg  from  north-north-west  in  a  direction  about 
BOQth«>ath-ea8t.  Whllewatchingtherapld  approach 
of  tUs  cloud,  he  observed  a  peculiar  commotion 
■long  the  surface  of  the  water,  and  soon  saw  a  col- 
man  of  water  lifted  In  spiral  form  to  a  height  of 
at  least  100  feet^  expanding  into  crescent  shape 
u  the  top  of  the  column  was  reached.  Fearing  that 
his  ▼easel  might  be  struck  by  the  spout.  Capt.  Myers 
ordered  the  man  at  the  wheel  to  keep  her  headed 
well  up,  and  thus  kept  a  respectable  distance 
between  himself  and  the  dangerous  phenomenal  cus- 
tesaar.  He  estimates  the  time  between  the  forma- 
tion of  the  spout  and  Its  disappearance  at  20  minutes. 
Oapt.  Jerome  McBrlde  of  the  steam  barge  Tempest, 
furnished  a  similar  report  to  the  TitMt  reporter  last 
eraniiue-  He  said  he  saw  not  only  one  but  two  spouts 
aboot  S  o'clock  in  the  morning,  some  distance  out- 
side of  and  below  Grosse  Point.  They  formed  about 
tha  same  time,  and  traveled  In  the  same  direction  at 
the  rata  of  about  20  miles  an  hour,  a  distance  of  thjree 
mUet,  perhaps,  intervening  between  them.  One  of 
tha  tponta  appeared  to  be  within  little  more  than  a 
stonrs  throw  of  tho  Tempest  when  it  passed,  and  the 
et^nmn  appeared  to  be  fully  100  feet  high  and  15 
fieatthroofh.  Ther  were  funnel-shaped,  spreading 
at  tha  top,  and  leaving  a  trail  of  cresoent  shape.  The 
tpome  toaveled  from  the  north-west  In  a  south- 
eaatedy  dtzeetlos.  Water-spouts  are  rare  phenomena 
on  the  lakes,  notwithstanding  the  violent  squalls

GEN.  GIBBONS  FIGHT, 
DETAILS  OP    HIS    ENCOUKTER,     AIDED    BY   A 
HANDFUL  OP  SOLDIERS,  WITH  THE    SAV- 
AGES—DEATH OP  LIEUT.  BRADLEY. 
J^om  the  Chicago  Unug. 

Sa2^  Praucisco,  Aug.  13. — The  following 
particulars  of  Gen.  Gibbon's  fight  are  received : 
Gibbon  s  command  came  up  within  six  xnHes  of  the 
Indian  camp  on  the  7th.  On  the  6th  Lleat  Bradley 
and  his  party  managed  to  get  near  enough  to  tho 
camp  to  observe  the  Indians,  and  in  the  middle  of 
the  night  this  force  passed  within  a  mile  or  so  of  the 
Indian  camp,  where  Gen.  Gibbon  aud  the  main  body 
Joined  them.  A  short  while  after  one  of  the  Lieu- 
tenants crawled  down  and  reconnoitred  the  Indian 
position.  The  central  camp  was  located  across 
a  bend  on  the  north  fork  of  the  Big 
Hole  River.  The  lodges  numbered  89.  The 
ttream  was  thickly  fringed  with  willows, " 
and  the  lodges  were  pitched  on  the  south 
side.  Gibbon  came  up  on  the  north  aide.  His  force 
was  formed  upon  a  high  bar,  lOO  yards  from  the  In- 
dian camp,  where  they  remained  until  daybreak.  Just 
as  dayli^t  hod  fairly  appeared,  a  Blngle  Indian 
on  horseback  started  to  bring  in  the  herd  of 
ponies,  numbering  TOO  or  800.  He  did  not  suspect 
the  presence  of  the  whites,  but  rode  so 
close  to  Bradley's  command  that  the  Lieuten- 
ant saw  they  would  be  discovered,  and  it  was 
no  time  to  take  chances,  so  they  opened 
fire  on  the  Indian,  killing  him  and  his  horse. 
After  firing  they  instantly  started  for  the  Indian 
camp.  Arriving  at  the  willows  Uiat  lined  the  stream 
an  Indian  ro:»  up  and  fired  at  Lieut.  Bradley,  killing 
him  upon  the  spot.  The  Indian  was  immediately 
riddled  with  bullets.  Before  arriving  at  the  willows 
Gi  iboa  had  cautioned  Bradley  about  entering  .the 
brush,  and  his  men  called  out  to  him,  '  *  Hold, 
Lieutenant,  don't  ho  in  there;"  but  the  fearless 
soldier  led  on.  The  soldiers  charged  across  the 
stream  and  Into^the  Indian  caiup  before  the  Indians 
had  time  to  escape  from  their  lodges. 

The  attack  was  a  complete  success,  but  these  shots 
had  aroused  the  Indians,  who  were  sleeping  on  their 
arms  and  watchful.  Still  the  suddenness  of  the  at- 
tack surprised  them.  The  Indians  rushed  out  in 
the  wildest  conftision.  the  men  with  guns,  boys  with 
knives,  aud  squaws  with  pistols,  all  fighting  dssucr- 
ately.  Ihe  Indians  were  well  armed,  and  had 
plenty  of  amraunition.  Among  the  lodges  des- 
perate hand-to-hand  fighting  was  carried  on 
for  an  hour  and  a  half.  By  this  time  the 
Indiana  had  riK-overed  from  their  surprise.  They 
outnumbered  the  soldiers  largelv.  and  now  beeau  to 
fltrht  ^vitli  desperation.  They  fefl  back  Into  the  orush 
ana  to  high  points  commanding  tha  camp,  and  kept 
up  a  galling  fire  on  the  command,  who  then  endea- 
vored to  bum  the  camp.  Tha  canvas  lodges  were 
burned,  but  the  skin  lodges  could  not  be  flretl,  and 
the  grass  and  the  brush  was  too  green  to  take  fire. 
Continued  occupation  of  the  camp  was  useless. 
Under  direction  of  Gibbon  the  men  moved  toward  a 
wooded  point,  about  half  a  mile  off.  near  the  cafion 
from  whioh  the  troops  had  come  down. 

The  Indians,  seeing  the  movement,  endeavored  to 
intercept  the  command,  but  the  cool  headed  General 
ordered  them  to  fight  their  way.  His  horse  w&s 
killed,  and  he  was  shot  through  tho  calf  of  the  leg. 
But  all  the  men  got  in,  and  covering  themselves  as 
well  as  possible,  a  bushwhacking  fight  commenced. 
The  Indians  took  thoir  usual  tactics,  and  the 
sharpahooting  was  lively  and  fierce.  Gibbon 
expected  his  howitzer  to  join  him  -  here,  but 
the  fight  had  begun  earlier  than  expected,  and  the 
howitzer  moved  too  far  down  the  mountain  side.  The 
Indians  discovered  ic.  and  a  party  of  them  charged 
the  little  sqund  of  six  men  who  hfwl  charge  of  the 
gun.  The  soldiers  gave  thorn  tho  benefit  of  the 
faowlzer's  contents,  firtsl  and  loaded  again,  and  after 
tho  second  fire  tho  SerffOAnt  threw  the  gun  from  the 
trunions  and  died  beside  the  dismantled  piece.  The 
other  Serceant  was  wounded,  but,  with  the  four  men, 
escaped  to  the  command.  Tha  In*llan8  dared  nut 
charge  upon  the  position. 

TVhite  Bird  Wirt  plainly  heard  and  seen  endeavor- 
ing to  animate  the  Indloiu  to  charge  unon  the  com- 
mand, but  in  v.iin.  He  could  not  bring  them  to  it. 
Gibbon's  command  to  his  men  was  nut  to  expose 
themselves  and  to  save  their  aramunitiun.  The  sharp- 
shooting  wa^t  excellent,  and  whenever  an  Indian  ex- 
posed liims»-lf  he  Kot  it.  while  they  retorted  In  skiU- 
f  ui  strle.  Thu  Indians  cirrlM  all  around  Gen.  Gib- 
bon's position,  posted  their  sharpshooters  In  tho 
woods  abtA-e  him  and  at  every  available  point,  to ' 
pick  off  tho  men.  They  would  raise  their  fiercest 
war  cry  and  advance  upon  the  fortified  party 
until  they  would  come  within  range  of  the 
soldiers'  rifles,  when  thev  would  halt.  Gen.  Gib- 
bon, seeing  a  largo  band  of  Indiana  going  In  tho  di- 
rection of  nls  supply  train,  feared  it  might  be  cap- 
tured. Kirkendall.  who  had  charzo  of  the  train,  for- 
tified and  made  such  a  formidable  Ahow  with  )iis 
little  squa<.i  that  the  smali  band  of  Indians  who  went 
back  on  the  trail  (hired  not  attack  him.  They  were 
too  much  occupied  with  Gibbon  to  spare  ouv  lar^a 
nnml>er.  The  figbt  kept  up  until  dark,  the  Indians 
in  the  meantime  moving  their  li>dges  and  gathering 
up  their  wounded  and  such  of  the  dead  as  were  not 
covered  by  Gibbon's  rides,  and  when  night  came  on 
the  scene,  leaving  a  few  stragglers  to  keep  up  the 
rear,  retreated  in  a  south-westerly  direction. 

Many  remarkable  incidents  occurred.  It  was,  after 
the  first  regular  onset,  an  Individual  fight.  Gen.  Gib- 
bon used  his  rifle  like  the  rest,  and  officers  and  sol- 
diers fooght  shoulder  to  shoulder,  with  ritlea  in 
their  hands.  Men  were  giving  each  other  warning  of 
Indians  who  were  aiming  at  them,  and  shootlne  In- 
dians who  were  aiming  at  their  comrades.  Soldiers 
and  citizens  were  mUed  together.  Sergt.  Wilson 
does  not  remember  to  have  heard  any  command  save 
the  order  of  brave,  oool-headed  Gen.  Gibbon,  which 
was  "  Boys,  don't  witsto  your  ammunition. "  Tho 
Indians  xistuX  every  de\ice  to  draw  the  soldiers'  fire 
and  use  up  their  ammunition.  A  half-breed  boy  iu 
Gibbon's  camp  heard  a  chief  call  to  his  men  to 
ciiarge;  that  the  white  men's  ammunition  was  almost 
gone. 

The  above  Is  an  Im^rfect  account  of  one  of  the 
moat  desperate  Indian  iii;hts  on  record.  They  were 
a  brave  band,  with  a  gaJIajit  U»ader,  that  charged  and 
defeated  the  Indians  at  the  Bli;  Hole  Pa8.s.  They  wure 
only  ahandful  of  men  and  uutnumbered  almost  two  to 
one  ;  but  Gibbon  had  been  ordered  to  strike,  and  it  was 
a  flerre  and  telling  blow  he  struck  the  Indians — such 
a  blow  as  thev  never  l>efore  received.  Gen.  Gibbon 
had  marched  his  infantry  over  24K>  miles  from  Fort 
Shaw,  and  left  everything  bphind.  He  now  sent  out 
for  aid  for  the  wounded.  Gen.  Howard  was  notified, 
who  rapidly  pushed  forward  with  hi.<t  scouts,  and 
reached  Gibbon  on  Saturday.  The  Warm  Spring  In- 
dians, with  Howard,  on  arriving  In  sight  of  the  field, 
set  up  a  howl,  and  began  to  scalp  the  Nes  Perc6s. 
The  Nei  Percys  did  not  scalp  or  mutilate  the  dead 
who  fell  in  the  charge  on  the  camp. 


AX  IMMIORANT  GIRL'S  SAD  STORY. 
The  Cleveland  (Ohio)  ffsrald  of  Tuesday  con- 
tains this  story :  "A  few  days  since,  upon  the  ar- 
rival of  an  eastern-bound  train,  a  young  Irish  girl, 
neatly  dressed,  with  a  pleasant  and  not  imprepos- 
sessing  face,  accosted  Dutoctive  Schroedor  at  the 
ITnion  Denot.  She  said  Kho  was  alone  in  the  city, 
and  wantea  to  be  directed  to  a  certain  street.  She 
showed  the  officer  a  piece  of  papor.  upon  which  was 
written  a  name  and  otldress.  the  latter  being  Ko.  73 
Conlusghstrect.  Of  course,  no  such  street 
was  to  be  found  in  the  city,  and,  upon 
questioning  the  girl  for  further  partletUars, 
Schroeder  obtained  tho  following  story:  A  few 
weeks  since  tho  girl,  who  is  about  20  years  of  age, 
left  Ireland  for  America  On  board  the  vessel  she 
became  acquainted  with  a  young  man  who  claimed  to 
be  a  Scotchman,  and  who  fell  in  love  with  her. 
Upon  their  ftrrival  in  New- York  the  young  roan  pro- 
tested his  devotion  to  her,  and  under  promise  of 
marriage  seduced  her.  she  stajing  with  him  three 
days  in  Kew-York.  When  he  left  New- York  (Hty  he 
told  her  he  would  send  her  money  in  a  few  days,  and 
she  could  come  to  Cleveland  and  he  would  marry 
her.  A  short  time  after  he  left  the  City  he  sent  her  a 
slip  of  paper  with  the  above  direction  upon  it.  Her 
trunk  was  left  at  Castle  Garden,  and,  borrowing  99 
upon  it,  she  came  to  this  citv  in  search  of  the  man 
who  had  promised  to  make  ner  his  wife.  Upon  hear- 
ing the  story.  Officer  Schroeder  was  puzzed  as  to  tlie 
course  to  pursue,  as  no  such  street  coald  be  found, 
and  without  some  address  it  was  almost  Impossible 
to  find  the  man.  Happening  to  step  Into  the 
Lake  Shore  baggage-room,  the  girl  saw  and 
recognized  a  chest  which  she  said  belonged 
to  her  lover,  which  he  had  brought  with  him  from 
the  East  and  hod  not  as  yet  removed  ftrom  the  depot. 
The  officer  directed  the  baggage  men  to  keep  a  sharp 
outlook  for  the  man  Inquiring  for  the  chest,  and  In 
that  way  succeeded  In  gaining  an  interview  with  him 
when  he  called  for  his  baggage.  By  questionlnx  he 
found  out  where  tho  young  fellow  hved.  but  without 
telling  him  anything  concemins:  the  inquiry  that  had 
been  made  for  him.  He  then  directed  the  girl  to  the 
place  where  the  young  man  lived,  and  on  Friday, 
when  going  out  to  see  him,  she  met  him  on  the 
street.  She  stopped  him  and  talked  with  him, 
and.  as  might  have  been  expected,  he  called  her  a 
fool  for  the  pains  she  bad  taken  in  coming  here,  and 
that  he  had  no  intention  of  marrying  her.  Two  or 
three  times  she  visited  him,  and  Implored  him  to 
be  true  to  his  promise  and  save  her  reputation,  hut 
without  success.  Yesterday  she  visited  bis  boarding 
place  again,  and  was  told  by  his  landlady  not  to  come 
any  more.  That  the  man  does  not  Intend  to  marry 
her  seems  certain.  althoiij;b  she  still  has  faith  In  him ; 
but,  whatever  is  done,  the  girl  is  still  in  the  city,  pen- 
niless, ruined,  and  with  no  friends.  She  left  her  en- 
tire clothing  at  Castle  Garden,  with  a  $9  mortgage 
upon  it.  and  has  with  her  only  the  clothes  she  wears. 
Khe  seems  honest,  simple,  aud  willing  to  work  for  her 
living."

nSDUCINa  A  BANE*S  STOCK, 

AN  mTERESTDIG  DECISION  BY  JCTDQE  VAN 
HOESEN  ON  A  NOVEL  POINT — A  NATIONAL 
BANK  CANNOT  RETAIN  MONEY  ON  STOCK 
WHICH  IS  EETIBED,  '-s 

Judge  Van  Hoesen,  in  Chambere  of  the  Court 
of  Cotnmon  Pleas,  yesterday  rendered^  interesting 
derision  in  the  case  of  Kathan  Sec^e  against  tlie 
New-Tork  Exchange  National  Bank.  The  plaintiff,  it 
seems,  is  the  owner  of  25  of  the  5,000  shares  of  the 
hank's  stock.  On  Dec  20,  1876,  the  stockholders 
met  and  passed  a  resolution  to  the  effect  that  the 
capital  stock  of  the  bank  should  be  reduced  from 
$500,000  to  $300,000,  but  that  only  $100,000  of 
the  reductiou  should  be  paid  in  cash  to  the  stock- 
holders, the  other  $100,000  to  he  held  as  a  sturplut. 
By  the  resolution  the  stockholders  were  directed  to 
relinquish  two^flfths  of  their  shares  pro  rata.  Upon 
Seelye's  declining  to  acquiesce  in  the  arran^ment, 
the  bank  officers  refused  to  pay  him  the  par  value  of 
two-fifths  of  his  stock  after  he  had  surrendered  his 
certificate,  and  they  also  refused  to  transfer  his 
stock  on  the  books  of  the  bank  tmless  he  assented  to 
the  condition  imposed.  Seelye  thereupon  brought 
suit  to  compel  them  to  do  so.  and  the  case  was 
recently  submitted.  Judge  Van  Hoesen,  in  his 
opinion^  says,  among  other  things,  "The  principal 
question  in  this  case  is  whether  a  national  bank 
may,  after  reducing  the  amount  of  its  capital 
stock,  retain  as  a  stirplos  or  for  other  pur- 
poses the  whole  or  any  portion  of  the  monev  which 
it  received  for  the  stock  that  is  retired.  The  de- 
fendant reduced  its  capital  stock  from  $500,000  to 
$300,000.  What  is  to  become  of  the  $^00,000 
which  was  subscribed  and  paid  for  the  stock  that  has 
been  called  in  ?  Must  it  be  paid  to  the  stockholders 
who  surrender  the  retiring  stock,  or  may  it  be  re- 
tained by  the  bank  !  A  certificate  of  stock  is  merely 
the  evidence  of  an  Interest  In  dividends  as  they  are 
declared,  and  of  a  ri^lit  to  a  pro  rata  distribution  of 
the  effects  of  the  con}oratiou  on  hand  at  the  expira- 
tion of  the  charter.  If  the  defendant  had  determined 
to  discontinue  business  and  wind  up  its  affairs, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  shareholders  would 
be  entitled  to  a  distrlbatlou  of  whatever  as- 
sets of  the  corporation  might  remain  after 
its  debts  had  l>oon  paid.  It  Instead  of  surrendering 
all  Its  corporate  powers,  a  corporation,  by  reducing 
its  capital  stock,  relinquishes  u  portion  of  them,  it 
seems  to  me  that  the  shareholders  may  properly 
claim  a  dutribution  of  the  money  which  the  cor- 
porate body  has  no  longer  the  right  to  use  as  capital. 
The  abandonment  by  a  corporation  of  all  Its  cor- 
porate rights  slves  the  stockholders  a  right  to  the 
distribution  of  all  the  net  assets.  AVhy  should  not  on 
abandonment  of  a  iK>rtion  of  those  rights  give  the 
stockholders  a  right  of  distribution  pro  tanto  t  Of 
course,  if  the  capital  stock  has  been  impaired,  the 
amoimt  to  bo  returned  to  the  stockholders  must  be 
diminished. 

It  is  said  that  the  capital  of  the  defendant  has  not 
been  impaired,  but  timt  the  Directors  deem  it  ad- 
vantageous to  retain  as  a  surplus  one-half  of  the 
amount  which  was  subscribed  and  paid  for  the  stock 
which  has  been  called  In.  The  reason  ossiKued  Is 
not,  in  my  opinion,  any  justification  for  withholding 
fnim  the  plidutitf  his  share  of  the  money  that  was 
paid  In  exchange  for  the  stock  that  is  retired.  That 
money  was  paid  as  capital,  and  if  it  be  no  longer 
needed  for  that  pxixpose.  and  if  it  bo  not  reoutred 
for  tho  payment  of  debts.  It  has  accomplished 
the  end  for  which  It  was  subscribed,  and  It  ought 
to  be  returned  to  the  shan-holders.  The  bank  Ilob 
gone  out  of  eiiptence  as  a  corpomtion  with  a 
capital  of  $500,000.  So  fur  as  the  $200,000 
of  reduced  stock  is  concerned,  tho  corpora- 
tion must  be  coniddered  as  having  surrendered 
its  charter  and  wound  un  its  hn.sines.s.  This  being 
so,  there  is  no  doubt  as  to  the  duty  it  owes  to  the 
Btockholders  who  owu  the  retired  stock.  •  •  • 
It  would  be  BtranKe  If  capital — t-apltal  which  hai  ac- 
complislicd  its  mission— could  ho  diverted  from  its 
owners,  and  u-sed  ag:unst  their  protest  to  build  up  a 
surplus  fund,  when  even  a  dividend,  once  declared, 
cannot  b*».  The  controversy  In  this  case  really  is 
whether  or  not  t)ie  defendant  should  be  compelled  to 
pny  the  ptitiatiCr  tho  value  of  five  shares,  the  amount 
which  the  Directors  have  determined  to  retain  as  a 
»uri>lu8.  If  Drdering  judgment  for  the  value  of  those 
shores  would  bring  the  litigation  to  a  close,  I  should 
CO  no  further  than  make  such  an  order.  But, 
it  appears  to  be  necc-ssarj-  to  provide  for  the  indem- 
nification of  the  plainiiff  for  the  loss  of  his  2H  shores, 
tb«  transfer  of  which  the  bank  refiwed  to  make  upon 
Its  iKiolis.  If  I  should  order  judpueut  merely  for  the 
value  of  the  five  t>hurijH,  it  is  jKissible  that  the  defend- 
ant would  refuse  to  give  the  plaintiff  a  new  certifi- 
cate for  15  shares  and  to  pay  him  the  $nUO  which 
tlie  Directors  have  ordered  to  be  paid  to  thi>se  who 
consent  to  relinquish  twfi-fifths  of  their  Rhares.  To 
give  the  plaintiff  couiplt:te  redress,  it  svems  to  me  to 
Iw  neoessarj-  to  order  judcment  for  the  value  of  the 
whoji*  ^5  shares.  The  def^nidatit  Is  liable  for  that 
value,  having  refu.sed  to  permit  the  shares  to  be 
transferred  upon  its  book.*.' 


-ff-V  OLD  CJilMJyAL   ON  TRIAL. 

THE  CASK  OP  '*JIM  BRADY"  IK  THE  COtTRT 
or  GENERAL  SESSIONS — THE  TRLAL  POST- 
PONED  UNTIL  ilONDAT  NEXT. 

The  case  of  the  notorious  "  Jim  "  Brady,  alias 
"  Albany  Jim,"  olios  Jnmos  H.  Morrison,  alios  Oscar 
D.  Petersen,  was  called  by  Assistant  District  Attor- 
ney William  Herring,  yesterday,  in  the  Court  of  Gen- 
eral Sessions.  Tho  expected  trial  of  the  accused  had 
attracted  quite  a  crowd  of  spectators,  who  were  anx- 
ious to  hear  the  redtal  of  his  many  crimes,  and  an 
artist  oonseeted  with  one  of  tho  local  papers  was 
present  to  sketch  the  scene.  Brady  was  attended  by 
his  counsel,  ex-Judge  Dittenhoefer  and  James  D. 
McClelland.  He  was  arraigned  on  throe  Indict- 
ments— one  for  shooting  Edward  Bromfield, 
of  No.  333  West  Fourteenth-street  t  one 
for  shooting  Ofiicez  George  H.  Paddock, 
of  tho  ItToadway  Squad  :  and  one  for  stealing  gentle- 
men's fnmi-shlnc  poods,  valued  at  $25.  from  Ward's 
shirt  store,  No.  1,1:^5  Broadwny,  to  all  of  which  be 
entered  a  plea  of  not  guilty.  On  Aug.  2  Brady  was 
nrrested  by  Officer  Paddock,  on  a  charge  of  stealing 
the  articles  iu  gutstiou  from  Ward's  store,  and  pre- 
tended to  be  willing  to  go  to  the  station-house.  At 
Twenty-ninth -street,  however,  hs  drew  a  Derringer, 
fired  at  the  officer,  grazing  his  cheek,  and  fied.  The 
officer  gave  cha>"e,  and  was  joined  by  Officers  Ketner, 
Pratt,  and  Bmlth.  The  fugitive  continued  to  load 
and  fire  as  he  ran,  aud  his  fire  was  returned  by 
the  offieers,  one  of  whom  strack  him  in 
the  leg.  After  a  final  volley  and  a  lively 
chase  around  Madison-square  the  desperado  was  ar- 
rested and  taken  to  thu  station-house.  One  of 
Brady  5  shots.  Intended  for  Officer  Smith,  struck  Ed- 
ward Bromflold,  inflicting  a  slight  wound.  .  Brady, 
who  Kave  the  name  of  O&car  D.  Petersen,  w^  com- 
mitted to  the  Tombs  on  three  charges,  in  default  "of 
$22,000  ball,  and  Immediately  sot  to  work  to  alter 
his  appearance.  He  shaved  off  his  dowing  beard  and 
mouNtache,  and  donne<l  working  men's  attire  Instead 
of  thu  fashionable  suit  he  had  on  when  arrested. 
Notwithstanding  this  triinsformation,  he  was  ideiiti- 
fiod  as  "Jim  Brady."  or  "Albany  Jim,"  who  was  ■ 
twice  sent  to  State  Prison  for  burglary,  aud  had  ea- 
cnped  from  that  Institution  onco  with  "Johnny  the 
Greek."  He  Is  chargeU  with  boInR  eonnected  with 
the  Northampton  Bank  robbery,  the  robbery  of  the 
Bank  of  the  Metropoli.=i,  the  Wellsborough  (Penn.) 
National  Bank  robbery^  and  the  attempt  to  blow  up 
the  Post  Office  at  Danbnry,  Conn. 

After  the  identity  of  Brady  had  been  fully  estab- 
lished a  demand  was  made  for  ids  {transfer  lo  Kings 
County,  where  he  waa  "  wonted  "  to  answer  a  charge 
of  being  one  of  three  men  who  gagged  and  bound  Ar- 
thur J.  Heaney,  a  pawnbroker,  at  rJo.  214  Atlantic- 
avenue,  BrooluyD,  and  robbed  him  of  $12,000  worth 
of  jewelry.  Inasmuch,  however,  as  the  prisoner 
could,  upon  conviction  on  the  three  Indhrtment-S 
founa  against  him  in  connection  witli  the  affair  of 
Aug.  2.  OS  sentenced  to  terms  aggregating  2.^  years 
In  the  state  Prison,  IMstrict  Attorney  Phelps  de- 
termined to  retain  lilm  in  his  own  jurisdiction  and 
place  him  on  trial  immediately.  The  first  indict- 
ment  to  be  tried  is  that  charging  the  prisoner  with 
shooting  at  Mr.  Bromfleld.  Counsel  strenuously 
argued  for  a  postponement  of  the  trial  contending 
that  they  had  uot  had  time  to  proctire  the  attend- 
ance of  their  witnesses,  being  of  the  opinion  that  the 
case  would  not  be  tried  this  term.  Assistant  Dis- 
trict  Attorney  Herring  opposed  any  adjournment. 
Glalmi?tg  that  the  defense  had  been  afforded  ample 
time  to  prepare  their  case,  had  they  wished  to  do  so. 
Finally  Ju<hse  Sutherland  allowed  the  matter  to  go 
over  until  ifonday,  when  Brady  will  be  placed  on  trial 
on  all  three  indictments,  unless,  as  is  not  improbable, 
tie  should  plead  Kuilty  and  diminish  his  punishment. 
The  defense  will  try  to  prove  that  Mr.  Bromfleld  was 
not  shot  by  Brady,  but  was  struck  by  a  ball  from  one 
of  the  pistols  fired  by  the  officers. 

SBXTENOED  FOR  ASSA  VLTIKO  AN  OFFIOEB. 
On  the  night  of  July  31,  David  Connors 
was  creating  a  disturbance  in  his  apartments,  on  the 
fourth  floor  of  the^tenement-honse  No.  340  East 
Tenth-street,  to  the  annoyance  of  the  entire  neigh- 
borhood. The  landlord  of  the  house  called  Officer 
Gteorge  W.  D.  Rennie,  of  the  Twenty-third  Preelnct, 
who  was  on  duty  in  the  vicintty,  and  asked  him  to 
suppress  the  disturbance.  The  officer  went  to  the 
rooms  of  Connors,  who  professed  to  be  wiUing  to  go 
to  the  station-house  with  hhn,  but  asked  pennission 
to  put  on  his  shoes.  The  officer  granted  the  reason- 
able request,  and  while  his  attention  was  otherwise 
engaged,  Connors  seized  a  choir  and  attempted  to 
strike  him  on  the  head.  The  officer  raised  Ms  arms 
for  protection,  and  received  several  severe  blows 
from  his  infuriated  assailant.  Finally,  however,  the 
ofBcer  overpowered  Connors,  and  took  him  a  prisoner 
to  the  station-house.  Yesterday,  in  the  Cotirt  of 
General  Sessions,  Assistant  District  Attorney  Her- 
ring tried  tho  prisoner,  and  he  was  convicted  of 
assault  and  battery.  Judge  Sutherland  sent  the 
prisons  to  the  Penitentiary  for  one  year.

A  PRISOXER  SIS  OWX  OOUJfSEL. 
The  aphorism  that  a  man  who  la  his  own 
lawyer  has  a  fool  for  a  cUent,  is  evidently  not  true 
in  every  case,  as  was  illustrated  yesterday  in  the 
Court  of  Special  Sessions,  in  the  cose  of  John  Mo- 
Caul.  Hr.  Sdwln  R.  Bennett,  of  No.  40  Broadway, 
aceiued  John  with  stealing  from  his  office,  on  the  1st 
inst..  a  bltie  flannel  coat,  of  which  he  was  tha  owner. 
All  that  Mr.  Bennett  knew  about  the  matter  was 
that  McCaul  was  in  his  office  on  the  day  In  question, 
and  in  a  few  minntes  after  Joha's  depertnxe  he 
nifieiil  thaooat    UE^Beaoitt  uidanraat  a  ita wh- 


hoc  erOBS-examinatlon  at  the  hands  of  the  prisoner, 
who  handled  his  ease  so  skillf  nlly  that  Justice  Duffy 
eompUmented  him  for  his  "lawyer-like"  abllitlea 
Abraham  H.  Howe,  Mr.  Bennett's  book-keeper, 
swore  he  saw  McCanI  come  In  and  go  out,  but  didn't 
■ee  him  take  the  coat ;  hnt  also  added  that  nobody 
else  but  the  prisoner  could  have  taken  it.  since  no- 
body else  was  In  the  office.  This  witness  had  to  stand 
HsCaul's  batteries,  too.  He  required  to  be  informed 
as  to  the  number  of  windows,  doors,  &c. ,  that  were  In 
the  office.  The  witness  was  puzzled,  and  John  was 
not  required  to  sum  up  for  ihe  defense.  The  court 
found  nim  not  guilty.

OP  THE  X>ECIBIOK  IK  THE  CASE. 
Barney  J.  DozL&hue,  the  HomeUsTille  striker, 
was  sentenced  for  contempt  of  court  by  Judge  Done- 
hue,  in  Supreme  Court  Chambers,  yesterday.    At  10 
A-  M.,  Gen.  Pryor,  of  counsel  for  Donahue,  handed 
in  the  last  portion  of  his  brief.     Forty  minutes  later, 
and  in   the    absence  of  Donahue's    counsel,   Judge 
Donohoe  opened  the  court  hurriedly  and  read  his  de- 
cision,  which  was  written   on  two  sheets  of  paper. 
Donahue  was  present,  as  were  also  the  counsel  for 
the  Erie  Railway,   "Citizen"  Schwab  and  others. 
The  decision  is  as  follows : 

"The  defendant  is  arrested  and  before  the  court  on 
a  charge  of  interfering  with  tho  Receiver  of  this 
court,  H.  J.  Jewett,  iu  the  performance  of  ids  duty 
as  such  oiOcer.  'Whatever  is  charged  in  the  moving 
affidavits  Is  admitted,  as  no  deniul  further  thim  a 
general  denial  of  contempt  is  made.  No  affidavits  or 
proofs  of  any  kind  are  made  or  furnished  by  deftnd- 
out.  Interrogatories  were  filed,  counsel  for  defend- 
ant itatinc,  when  they  were  so  filed,  that  the  hu- 
swers  would  be  coneluslvo ;  hut  as  none  were  filed  the 
defendant  has  falle<l  to  purge  himself  of  the  contempt 
charged.  The  affidavits  of  the  facts  on  the  part  of  the 
Receiver  are,  it  );eems  to  me,  full  and  conclusive  as 
to  the  offense  clianiied,  and  that  the  defendant 
must  be  adjudged  guilty  of  the  contempt.  It  is  al- 
leged in  defence  that  the  defendant  did  not  know  the 
property  meddled  with  was  iu  a  Receiver's  hands. 
This  defense  would  l>e  equally  available.  If  founded 
on  law,  iu  all  eases  of  larceny  where  the  prisoner 
could  say  he  did  not  know  the  property  he  took  was 
tliat  of  the  person  chatted  in  the  indictment.  To 
state  the  proposition  is  to  answer  It.  It  was  con- 
tended that  ^e  court  had  no  power  to  com|}el  the  de- 
feudant  to  answer  the  Interrogatories.  As 
no  such  principle  was  contended  for  by 
the  moving  party,  the  elaborate  argument  not  appu- 
cable  to  the  case  Is  unnecessary  to  consider. 
Finding,  as  I  do.  the  guilt  of  the  defendant,  it  re- 
mains to  consider  the  circumstances  uTider  which  the 
offense  was  committed.  A  ver>'  sudden  and  serious 
riot  arose  on  a  railroad  in  a  sister  State,  extending  to 
another  sister  State.  So  sudden  and  extensive  was 
the  riot  that  the  authorities  of  some  of  the  States 
seemed  paralysed,  and  resorted  to  the  questionable 
authority  of  Federal  forces  to  quell  tlie  commotion. 
It  was  not  to  bo  expected  that  this  btate  should  es- 
cape, aud  the  courtH  and  authorities  were  placed  face 
to  face  with  the  difficulty.  It  was  not  a  question  of 
the  right  of  men  to  qtut  work  or  induce  others  to 
do  so.  when  not  fairly  recompensed,  but  it 
was  the  question  whether  lawless  violence 
should  be  allowed  to  destroy  property  aod  prevent 
the  transportation  of  the  vast  freight  and  passenger 
traffic  iwtween  b,\\  sections  of  the  country.  Tl\e  Erie 
Koad  being  in  the  hands  of  the  officer  of  this  court, 
and  his  possession  being  attacked,  it  became  the  dutv 
of  this  court  to  protect  It.  Substantially,  I  do  not 
understand  prisoner's  counsel  as  denying  that,  if  tlie 
papers  are  iu  form  correct  aud  the  facts  proved, 
there  Is  any  doubt  of  the  right  of  the  court  to  pun- 
ish ;  hut  if  the  right  had  beon  denied,  tho  action  of 
all  the  courts  tliat  followed  tho  course  pursued  here 
has  decided  the  quuiition  In  the  affirmative. 

In  looking  at  the  offensG  char;:ed  it  must  be  bonie 
in  mind  that  all  the  acts  charged  are  those  for  whli'h 
this  defendant  may  be  indicted  and  punished,  and  in 
considering  action  here  that  should  be  taken  into  ac- 
count. Immediately  on  the  prosecution  of  the  at- 
tachment here  the  confederates  of  the  prisoner  at 
once  withdrew  their  opposition  and  submitted.  The 
defendant  has  submitted  to  tlie  law,  and  that  wliich 
unfortunately  elsewhere  the  Federal  milltarv  force 
was  invoked  to  accomplish  was  ht-re  enforced  by  the 
power  of  the  courts,  and  thd  def^'iidant  hi.*re  has 
jBomed  that  no  matter  what  subterfuges  and  preten- 
ses may  be  resorted  to  tu  evade  the  law,  it  lias  assert- 
ed Its  i^ht  and  compelled  obedience.  Con-^iderinc. 
as  I  have  above  Rtsted,  thnt  the  law  has  been  vindi- 
cated, order  restored,  that  the  prisoner  is  amenable 
to  criminal  prosecution  forthe  wrong  done.  I  think  the 
punishment  already  inflicted  sufficient  in  these  pro- 
cefdtngs ;  that  while  the  law  must  be  obeyed,  it 
shonld  not  lie  made  harsh  :  that  if  a  fiirther  assertiou 
is  needed  it  may  .i>e  done  by  Indictmtint.  The  pris- 
oner, ha%'ing  suffered  the  imprisonment  he  has,  will 
be  discharged  on  the  entrj-  of  the  order  on  the  de- 
rision at  the  expiration  of  30  days  from  the  time  of 
hisorre-st." 

The  counsel  for  the  Erie  Railway  Company  then 
drew  up  an  order  of  conimiTmt'nt  whereby  Douahuo 
is  ordered  to  be  committed  for  five  days.  A  warrant 
of  atta<:hment  in  conformity  with  the'order  wiis  also 
drawn  up.  After  the  s«>ntence,  Gen.  I'r\'itr  nud  ex- 
Judge  Oortis,  the  prisoner's  counsel. "  came  into 
court  and  expressed  their  surprise  that  their  client 
should  have  been  sentenced  In  their  absence.  Dona- 
hue bore  his  sentence  very  calmly,  and  before  leav- 
ing the  court-room,  in  charce  of  a  deputy  Sheriff  hnd 
a  conx'ersatlon  with  Schwao.  In  a  conversation  held 
subsequently  Donahue  denied  ompUatlcally  that  he 
is  a  communist. 

TUB  CASE  OF  DR.  WILLIAM  SniXB. 
Dr.  William  Shine,  who  is  charged  with  '*  dis- 
orderly conduct."  in  company  with  his  counsel  pre- 
sented himself  before  Justice  Duffy,  at  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  yesterday,  his  term  of  parole  having 
expired.  He  was  iu  custody  of  Detectives  Fields 
and  O'Connor,  of  the  District  Attorney's  office, 
an  indictment  having  been  found  against  him 
by  the  Grand  Jury  In  the  Court  of  General  Sessions. 
Prisoner's  counsel  spoke  In  severe  terms  of  the  action 
of  the  complainant  in  the  matter,  who  at  first  made 
a  complaint  of  disorderly  conduct  before  a  Police 
magistrate,  and  then,  not  Botislied  with  this,  and 
without  the  knowledge  of  defendant,  went  before 
the  Grand  Jury  to  procure  an  indictment  for  "felon- 
ious assault."  The  Justice  remarked  that  if  It 
were  known  at  the  District  Attorney's  office 
that  the  ease  was  pending  before  a  Police  niagixtrate 
thev  nrobably  would  have  hod  nothing  to  do 
with  it  until  it  went  though  the  Police  Court  in  the 
first  in-nance.  He  olso  added  that  If  the  District  At- 
torney did  know  a  complaint  of  ' '  disorderly  conduct " 
had  l>een  made,  that  thus  granting  an  indictment  waa 
nothing  but  a  reflection  on  Justice  Smith  who  issued 
the  warrant.  In  conclusion.  Justice  Duffy  tald  : 
"Officer,  take  Dr.  Shine  down  to  the  District  At- 
torney's office,  and  if  they  will  not  bail  him,  bring 
him  back  to  me  and  I  will  do  so."  At  the  Dbrtrict 
Attorney's  office  he  wa.^  discharged  on  his  own  recog- 
nizance. The  complainant  in  the  present  case  is  J. 
Mills  Riker,  19  years  old,  of  No.  34.">  Bridge-street. 
It  seems  that  between  the  building  that  Riker  works 
In  and  Dr.  Shine's  stable  there  is  nn  alley-way.  An 
ice-wagon  going  up  this  olley-way  to  put  in  some  ico 
for  Biker's  firm,  demoli.shed  a  wngon  of  the  Doctors, 
thn^  causing  all  the  troubla  Riker  says  that  on  the 
13th  inst.  Dr.  Shine  used  the  following  language  In 
addrewdng  him  :  "If  you  come  tip  this  alleyway  I 
will  put  an  end  to  you,"  atthe  same  time  brandishing 
a  pistol.  Dr.  Shine  explains  his  conduct  by  itaying 
that  Riker  was  trespassmg  upon  his  property. 


TSS  COITRT  OF  SPECIAl.  8RSS10N9. 
A  new  system  has  been  adopted  by  the  Jus- 
tices presiding  in  the  Court  of  Special  Sessions  in  re- 
gard to  the  manner  in  which  prisoners  are  tried. 
Formerly  a  prisoner  on  trial  had  to  stand  outside  the 
railing,  which  In  itself,  not  to  speak  of  its  awtward- 
ness  or  the  injustice  done  the  prisoner, 
was  a  great  source  of  inconvenience  to  all 
parties,  the  msgUtrates,  tho  witness,  and 
the  accused.  Now,  however,  thing's  aro  changed, 
the  prisoner  la  brought  inside  the  railing  in 
full  view  both  of  the  witness  and  the  court-  This 
new  departure  possesses  many  advantages.  The 
prisoner  Is  enabled  to  hear  every  word  the  witness 
utters— a  luxury  which  he  has  Heretofore  been  de- 
nied:  and  the  court,  without  havinc  to  perform  two 
or  three  revolntions,  can  Inuiediately  detect  the 
slightest  change  in  the  facial  expression  of  the  pris- 
oner. The  chwige  Is  vastly  beneficial  to  the  accused, 
as  by  standing  Inside  the  railing  and  near  the  desk  he 
can  see  and  hear  everything  that  concerns  him, 
whereas  previously  he  had  to  stand  outside  the  rail- 
ing with  ois  face  toward  the  hock  of  the  witness. 


THE  VXIYERSAL  LIFE  C0UPAX7. 
In  the  matter  of  the  Attorney-General  against 
The  Universal  Life  Insizrance  Company,  before  the 
Referee,  L  V.  French,  plaintiff's  counsel  were  occu- 
pied, during  the  morning  hours  yesterday,  in  looking 
over  the  books  of  the  company  and  marking  portions 
which  ore  to  be  copied  and  handed  in  as  evidence.  In 
the  afternoon  additional  evidence,  which  has  already 
been  publishod,  was  submitted  by  Deputy  Attorney- 
General  Paige.  The  extracts  from  the  books  of  the 
company  Will  substantially  be  the  last  of  the  evidence 
brought  forward  by  the  plaintiff's  attorneys.  To 
give  the  counsel  for  tho  company  time  to  prepare 
their  defense,  the  hearing  before  the  Referoe  has 
been  adjourned  till  Sept.  4.  at  11  o'clock  A  M. 


FIKED  FOR  ASSAVLTIXQ  AX  OFFICER. 

The  case  of  Offloer  James  Brennan,  of  the 
fcightesnth  Prednet,  who  charged  Jookson  and  HUen 
Fields,  of  No.  405  East  Seventeenth-street,  with 
assault  and  battery,  waa  before  the  Court  of  Special 
Sessions  yesterday.  The  officer's  testimony  was  to 
the  effect  that,  on  the  day  in  question,  on  hearing 
cries  of  "Murder,  Police,"  Ac,  issuing  from  the 
above  Dumber,  he  ran  to  the  house  and  tried  to  gain 
admlttanee.  Jaokaon  Fields  would  not  allow  Mny  to 
enter,  so  he  forced  his  way  in  to  see  what  the  trouble 
was-  The  husband  and  -wite  had  been  fighting,  and 
on  attempting  to  arrest  the  former  for  disorderly 
eondnct  the  offloer  was  assaulted  by  both. 
He  added  that  in  self-defense  he  woe  compelled  Co 
nse  his  club.  The  husbaud  took  up  a  big  carving 
knife  to  stick  him.  and  he  [the  officer]  drew  his 
pistol,  the  sight  of  which  banished  any  idea  the  pri- 
soner may  have  had  of  using  the  knife.  The  pri- 
soner Fields,  on  the  other  hand,  denied  striking  or 
attetnthM  to  aasault  the  officer.  The  prisoner  said 
he  remsed  to  so  with  the  officer,  saying  that  he  be- 
lieved he  was  iii^ht.  as  "every  man's  house  was  his 
castle."  The  prisoner's  counsel  called  attention  to 
his  cllent'i  wounds,  which  were  deep  and  numerous. 
Fields  also  charged  that  the  officer  had  clubbed  his 
wUa  which  9baxs»  tha  officer  denied.    £he  wonaa. 


however,  bore  some  ngly-Iooldng  marks.    The  court 
disduuTKod  the  wife,  and  fined  the  boahazid  9ia 

THE  SILK  SMUGGLING  CASES. 

THE  ACTION  OF  I^JITED  STATES  DISTRICT 
ATTORNEY  WOODFORD — THE  DENMARK 
RELEASED. 
Owing  to  tho  fact  that  the  National  Steam- 
ship Company  Line  believed  that  the  release  of  thefar 
steamer  Denmark  would  be  secured  by  representa- 
tions made  by  them  at  Washington,  they  had  not 
taken  precautions  looking  to  the  release  of  the  ves- 
sel, if  she  should  be  libeled  in  the  meantime;  and. 
therefore,  when  It  was  found  that  she  had  been  li- 
beled, it  necessitated  her  detention  until  she  could 
he  appraised  and  sufficient  bonds  given  for  her  re- 
lease. United  States  District  Attorney  Woodford, 
under  these  circumstances,  did  all  that  he  could  to 
expedite  her  discharge,  keeping  in  view  the  necessity 
of  the  Government  being  properly  secured.  On 
being  questioned  relative  to  the  matter  yesterday 
afternoon,  he  made  the  following  statement : 

"Yesterday,  as  soon  as  the  reprewntatives  of  the 
Denmark  appUed  a*  this  office  for  leave  to  bond  the 
vessel  they  were  informed  that  the  Govemmient 
would  accept  such  appraisal  as  should  be  made  by  the 
official  surveyors  of  the  San  and  Atlantic  Marine  In- 
surance Companies.  This  office  has  just  received 
the  appraisal  made  hv  such  survevors,  which  fixes 
the  valuation  at  $215. OOQ.  The  'Government  at 
once  accepted  this  valnation.  The  vessel  will  l>e 
bonded  as  soon  as  proper  security  in  offered.  The 
steom-shlp  line  ban  not  as  yet  furnished  the  name  of 
ony  of  its  proposed  bondsmen." 

This  was  statM  aarly  In  the  afternoon  by  Gen. 
Woodford.  Later.  Mr,  Hugh  J.  H:istlni:s  was  offered 
and  accepted  as  one  of  the  sureties,  but  ^t  required 
another  surety,  because,  akhoiieh  Mr.  Ha-stinc-s  wiw 
willing  to  justify  in-  the  full  extent  required 
by  the  bond.  the  law  made  it  ueces- 
Eory  that  there  should  be  two  sureties 
on  It.  each  willing  to  justify  in  such  an  amount.  In 
the  meantime,  communication  had  been  had  with 
Jndffe  Blatchford,  of  the  United  States  District 
Court,  who  was  spending  his  vacation  at  Newport, 
who  had  power  to  take  the  responsibility  of  ordering 
the  release  of  the  vessel  pending  the  maturing  of 
the  bond,  or  to  accept  such  security  In  lieu  of 
the  vessel  as  minht  meet  his  approval.  The 
steamer  Spain,  of  the  Kotlonal  Line,  was  taiport  and 
had  been  offered  as  a  substitute  for  the  Denmark. 
which  was  ready  to  sail  while  the  Spain  will  not  be 
for  several  days.  It  being  merely  a  question  of  time 
to  perfect  tho  bond,  and  the  Spain  being  umple  se- 
curity. Jndge  Blatchford  telegraphed  his  acceptance 
of  her  as  security  in  lieu  of  the  Denmark,  which  was 
released  by  Marshal  Payii  on  the  receipt  of  Jud»e 
Blatchford  s  telegram,  and  started  from  Pier  No.  51. 
North  River,  about  G  o'clock  last  evening,  amid  the 
cheers  of  the  relatives  and  friends  of  the  passengers, 
who  had  assembled  on  the  pier  to  "  see  them  off."

gutltv  in  General  Sessions,  and  Judge  Sutherland 
sent  nim  to  State  Prison  for  two  years. 

TRACTTCIXO  IX  ANOTHER'S  XAirE. 
On  Thursday  last,  one  William  N.  Loew.  who 
was  recently  disbarred  from  the  practice  of  law  for 
unprofessional  conduct,  made  on  application  in  a 
suit  before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court, 
Chambers.  Loew  then  claimed  to  be  acting  In  the 
name  of  on  attorney  named  T,  L.  Llndnav.  Judge 
Van  Brunt,  however,  was  informed  that  Loew  wa.s 
using  Lindsay's  name  without  authority-,  and  he 
therefore  denied  the  application.  Loew  appeared 
again  before  Judge  Van  Brunt  yesterday  rooming  to 
make  another  application  in  the  Mime  matter  as  he 
had  done  before.  He  again  claimed  to  act  In  the 
name  of  Lindsay.  Judge  Van  Brunt  then  told  Loew 
of  what  he  had  heard  about  tlie  unauthorized  use  of 
Lindsay's  name,  and  said  that  if  the  matter  were  so 
the  cane  would  be  a  proper  one  to  send  before  the 
Grand  Jury.  Loew  did  not  wait  to  hear  any  more. 
but  picked  up  his  hat  and  msde  a  dash  for  the  door 
of  the  court-room.  Jud^c  Van  Brunt  will  probably 
take  some  action  in  the  matter.

OLDTIITE  SCHOOL  CITSTOMS. 
At  the  recent  meeting  of  the  Georgia  School 
Teachers*  Assodatiou  President  Mellon  read  several 
very  amusing  extracts  from  the  diary  of  Judge  Junius 
HiUyer.  Mr.  Atallon  had  been  a  guest  of  the  Judge, 
and  during  the  evening  he  became  aware  of  the  ex- 
istence of  the  record,  the  use  of  which  he  asked  for 
the  delectatioa  of  his  colaborers  in  the  association. 
Judge  HiUyer  gives  a  very  graphic  description  of  a 
school  which  he  attended  near  Lexington  quite  60 
years  Riro.  The  teacher  was  a  Frenchman,  wh.^  had 
two  assistants.  No  books  were  used,  but  each  bov, 
ranging  from  7  to  10  years  of  aee,  (the  Judpe  was  I*.) 
was  required  to  eo  out  into  the  yard  and  fill  his 
pockets  with  littfo  rocks.  Rettimmg.  the  boys  were 
seated  at  a  lar^e  table,  and  the  teacher  be^an  at 
once  to  teach  them  how  to  count.  Having 
been  inducted  into  this  mystery,  they  were 
required  to  exercise  in  mental  calcula- 
tions, each  boy  aA  he  obtained  the  an- 
swer whispering"  it  In  the  teacher's  ear.  If 
tlie  answer  proved  incorrect  the  pupil  was  struck  on 
the  head.  As  the  pupUs  progressed  the  work  became 
more  and  more  dimcult — the  simpler  forms  of  arith- 
metic being  sucoo&ded  by  examples  In  mental  geome 
try.  These  latter  were  so  trying  that  several  of  the 
pupils  fainted  at  the  black-board  while  making  » 
strenuous  endeavor  to  write  their  conclusions  in 
geometrical  forma.  The  school  closed  at  the  ex- 
piration of  tho  year,"  so  that  the  course 
the  teacher  would  have  pursued  as  his  pupils 
became  older  and  strongor.  is  conjectural. 
Judge  Hillyer  remarked  that  tho  instruction 
he  received  proved  to  be  highly  beneficioL  The  mode 
of  punishment  was  cruel,  in  some  instances  approxi- 
mately brutal.  The  teacher  would  draw  on  the 
ground  two  rings  at  such  distances  from  each  other 
as  to  require  a  boy  to  stretch  his  legs  i)ainfu]ly  In  or- 
der to  plaoe  a  foot  in  each  ring.  Occasionally  a  third 
ring  was  drawn,  and  the  boy,  holding  his  position  as 
to 'his  feei^  was  required  to  rest  a  Jiand  therein. 


A  KEART-BROKEX  GOOSE. 
The  foUowizig  story  is  reproduced  here  on  the 
authority  of  the  Des  Moines  (Iowa)  Regitter  :  "  Yes- 
terday morning  several  geese  were  in  the  road  in 
front  of  ■  Well's  livery  stable.  Among  them  were 
two  that  were  particularly  intimate.  They  were  con- 
stantly together  ond  apparently  the  closes,  cronies. 
While  they,were  near  the  middle  of  the  road  a  wagon 
canse  along  and  ran  over  one  of  the  chums.  It  ^11, 
unable  to  rise,  writhing  with  pain.  The  other  In- 
stantly ran  to  it,  dressed  its  plumage  with  Its  bill, 
and  flnallv  stood  a  monilht  looking  at  its  dying  mate. 
Then,  as  If  satisfied  that  it  was  Injured  beyond  re- 
call, lay  down  by  its  aide  and  died.  The  goose  that 
had  hean  ran  over  di«d  a  few  momenta  later."

While  acquitting  Bank  Superintendent 
fiixis  of  intentional,  "wrong-doing,  the  Senate, 
■by  a  vote  of  21  to  10,  has  concurred  with  the 
G  ovemor  in  removing  him.  The  Senate  is 
evidently  convinced  that  a  man  capable  of 
ftuch  mistakes  of  judgment  as  were  made  by 
ilr.  Ei.Lis  is  unfit  for  the  very  delicate  and  diffi- 
cult duties  of  his  position.  We  are  glad  to 
find  that  it  has  been  impossible  to  convince 
a  majority  of  the  Senate  that  these  duties 
could  be  safely  intrusted  to  Mr.  Allex  C. 
Beach.  A  hack  politician  of  the  most  com- 
monplace order  of  abUity,  whose  name  sug- 
gests the  worst  days  of  the  Tweed  Democ- 
racy, and  whose  record  is  tainted  vvith  com- 
plicity in  the  transactions  of  the  Canal  Bing, 
■would  not  be  the  kind  of  man  to  attract 
public  confidence  at  a  time  when  a  very  ex- 
oeptional  kind  of  ability  and  probity  is  need- 
ed in  the  ofliceof  Bank  Superintendent,  The 
public  is  in  no  mood  to  see  one  of  the  most 
important  of  official  trusts  made  the  subject 
of  low  intrigues  for  the  division.of  political 
patronage,  and  Gov.  Robinsos  will  hardly 
improve  his  character  by  this  fresh  evidence 
of  the  facility  with  which  he  can  be  manipu- 
lated by  the  least  reputable  members  of  his 
party. 

Perhaps  sufficient  attention  has  not  been 
given  to  the  fact  that  during  the  first  six 
months  of  this  year  the  savings  banks  of 
New-York  and  Brooklyn  show  an  aggregate 
increase  in  deposits,  in  the  number  of  deposi- 
tors, and  in  their  surplus.  This  is  certainly 
a  very  encouraging  feature,  and  is  sugges- 
tive of  conclusions  about  the  present  con- 
itition  of  the  laboring  class  somewhat  differ- 
'ent  from  those  which  have  been  recently 
drawn.  It  is,  of  course,  possible  .ihat  the 
relatively  high  interest  and  perfect  .security 
afforded  by  most  of  our  savings  banks 
have  tempted  a  class  of  depositors  who 
usuaUy  put  their  money  into  stocks  and 
bonds.  But  after  all  deductions  on  that 
Bcore,  it  is  at  least  obvious  that  working 
men  and  wxjmen  have  not  been  compelled 
to  draw  on  their  savings  to  any  considerable 
extent,  and  that  is,  of  itself,  matter  for  con- 
gratulstion  in  these  times. 


There  will  be  no  armed  invasion  of 
Canada,  as  some  have  feared,  by  the  diplo- 
matic embassy  to  SiTTDfo  Bull.  The  com- 
mission is  complete,  a  St.  Louis  patriot, 
who  is  to  pay  his  own  expenses,  being  the 
latest  member  to  be  appointed.  The  eom- 
nrission  wiU  be  received  on  the  border  bv  a 
V^odv  of  Canadian  mounted  Police,  and 
thence  escorted  to  the  camp  of  the  aborig- 
inal statesman  and  warrior.  Sitting  Bull 
is  to  have  complete  amnesty,  but  he  cannot 
be  "reconstructed"  with  his  arms  and 
ponies  in  his  possession.  These  will  be 
such  hard  terms  to  the  Indian  mind  that 
there  is  reaUy  little  chance  of  their  ac- 
ceptance. The  very  fact  that  an  embassy 
goes  to  visit  him  will  be  likely  to  give  the 
Indian  unnecessarily  lofty  ideas  of  his 
importance. 


President  MacMahon  has  been  making  a 
speech  in  which  he  disavows  being  the 
friend  or  ally  of  any  party  in.  the  present 
contest.  All  he  desires,  he  says,  is  to  up- 
hold the  principles  which  are  the  founda- 
tions of  society.  Those  principles,  he  de- 
clares, are  just  now  in  great  jeopardy. 
There  is  such  a  wide  difference  of  opinion 
as  to  what  principles  do  form  the  foundations 
of  Bociety,  taking  the  world  altogether,  that 
the  gallant  Marshal's  notions  may  be  partisan 
•ft«T  all.     In  soow  oarta   ot  the   ctli>b&.. 


for  example,  men  believe  that  society 
Vould  not  last  over  night  if  each  man  were 
ao!i  allowed  as  many  wives  as  he  wanted, 
and  whom  he  could  flog  as  oft«n  as  he 
pleased.  This  is  not  true  of  Prance,  but  a 
great  many  estimable  people  in  that  coim- 
try  do  believe  that  when  the  many  are  not 
governed  by  the  few,  or  by  one  man,  chaos 
has  come  again,  and  society  has  literally 
"  gone  to  everlasting  smash."  Perhaps  the 
Marshal-President  is  not  one  of  these ;  Wut 
if  he  should  happen  to  be,  he  could  yet  say 
with  entire  consistency  that  he  was  only 
upholding  the  aforesaid  fundamental  prin- 
ples.  _^^_^^^_^_^^ 

The  World  recently  called  attention  to  the 
fact  that  Gov.  Robinson  vetoed  the  bills  re- 
ducing ofScial  salaries  and  putting  a  stop  to 
the  increase  of  the  Municipal  debt  in  this 
City  because  these  bUls  had  failed  to  secm-o 
the  approval  of  the  majority  of  the  City 
members,  i.  e.,  the  Taiumany=»  delega- 
tion, in  the  Legislature.  Whereupon 
the  Stoats  Zeititng  pointed  out  that 
it  would  be  the  duty  of  all  citizens  who  de- 
sired the  reforms  vetoed  by  Gov.  Robinson 
to  send  to  the  Legislature  next  Winter  a 
majority  of  members  pledged  to  support 
measures  of  retrenchment ;  in  other  words, 
that  Tammany  Hall  must  be  deprived  of 
the  power  of  denying  all  legislative 
relief  to  the  tax-payers  of  New-York.  But 
the  }forld  is  not  quite  content  witlj  this 
issue.  It  now  finds  that  Gov.  BoBlNSON 
had  another  and  most  logical  reason  for  ve- 
toing these  bills,  viz. ,  that  the  City  did  not 
have  its  constitutional  quota  of  representa- 
tives in  the  Legislature.  It  is  plain, 
that  this  is  a  reason  which  will 
be  as  good  or  as  bad  next  sea- 
son as  it  was  last,  and  that  if 
the  World's  inference  may  be  accepted  we 
shall  have  to  get  rid  of  Gov.  Robinson  be- 
fore New- York  is  able  to  reduce  its  expendi- 
tures or  stop  the  increase  of  its  debt.  A 
repetition  of  the  Governor's  porformauces 
of  last  session  would  render  that  mode  of 
relief  as  easy  as  it  would  be  imperative. 
Only,  in  spite  of  the  World,  we  still  believe 
in  the  possibility  of  a  shorter  cut  to  Munici- 
pal reform. 


Turkey  is  encompassed  by  three  neutrals 
— Persia  on  the  east,  Servia  on  the  west,  and 
Greece  on  the  south — all  osteiisibly  at  peace 
with  her,  but  all,  in  reality,  much  more 
"armed"  than  "neutral."  The  Shah's 
dread  of  England  and  Servia's  dread  of 
Austria  have  hitherto  kept  both  from  openly 
siding  with  Russia  ;  but  they  have  done 
what  they  could.  Persia  can  furnish 
secret  supplies  to  the  Russian  troops 
in  Armenia,  aud  shut  her  eyes 
while  they  traverse  a  comer  of  her 
territory  to  fall  upon  Mukhtar  Pasha's 
right  flank.  Servia  can  keep  her  50,000 
soldiers  in  readiness  to  strike  for  the  Czar 
on  the  first  chance  ot  doing  so  with  im- 
punity. The  potential  force  of  Greece  is 
more  formidable  still.  The  character  of 
her  "  neutrality"  suificieutly  shows  itself 
in  the  recent  equipment  of  armed  cruisers, 
the  march  of  volunteers  to  the  border,  the 
mobilization  of  15,000  men,  and  the  war 
agitation  which  is  shaking  every  street  of 
Athens,  from  the  Marathon  Gate  to  the  Pira»us 
raUway  depot.  While  outwardly  at  peace 
with  her  ancient  enemy,  she  can  drain  the 
latter 's  life-blood  by  "  unsanctioned"  priva- 
teering, and  by  "  volunteer"'  contingents  in 
Thessaly  and  Epirus.  At  a  time  when 
Turkey's  greatest  advantage  is  the  undis- 
puted command  of  the  sea,  it  is  no  light 
evil  for  her  to  be  threatened  once  more  by  the 
daring  buccaneers  who  baffled  her  ablest 
officers  in  1366-7.  At  a  time  when  tho 
Sultan's  proclamation  of  an  "  extraordinary 
levy"  shows  that  every  available  man  has 
already  gone  to  the  front,  it  is  no  trifle  to  be 
menaced  at  once  by  a  Thessalian  rising  and 
a  Cretan  insurrection,  with  Greece  able  and 
willing  to  assist  both. 


THE  SEW  ASPECT  OF  THE  OBIO  CAM- 
PAIGN 

The  speech  of  Judge  West  at  Bellefon- 
taine  and  that  of  Secretary  Sherman  at 
Mansfield  give  another  color  to  tho  Repub- 
lican campaign  in  Oliio.  The  trimming  and 
nonsensical  resolutions  of  which  the  plat- 
form was  chiefly  composed  were  brushed 
aside  by  the  candidate  for  Governor  in 
a  way  which  will  comimuid  general 
respect  from  those  who  believe  in  frank- 
ness in  politics  and  honesty  in  finance. 
And  now  Mr.  Sherman,  while  disclaiming 
all  purpose  to  Lofliuence  the  issues  of  tho 
campaign,  has  made  so  full,  so  clear, 
and  so  manly  an  exposition  of  the 
past  policy  and  future  purpose  of  the  Ad- 
ministration, that  it  cannot  fail  to 
command  the  general  attention  of  the  coun- 
try, as  weU  as  to  give  a  tone  of  much  needed 
elevation  to  the  issues  to  be  decided  in  Ohio 
this  Fall.  The  contest  has  in  fact  been 
lifted  out  of  its  position  as  a  mere  sectional 
squabble  between  two  factions  of  dema- 
gogues, and  has  assumed  a  character 
which  will  secure  for  it  the  warm- 
est interest  throughout  the  ranks  of,  the 
National  Republican  Party.  So  far  as  the 
Administratioiw  can  be  said  to  be  interested 
in  the  verdict  to  be  given  m  Ohio,  it  is  in  a 
way  which  fedoimds  entirely  to  its  credit  ; 
so  far  as  it  is  likely  to  be  affected  by  that 
verdict,  it  will  be  iu  a  way  that  makes  de- 
feat as  honorable  as  victory. 

We  are  not  concerned  about  the  logical 
consistency  of  a  campaign  which  starts  with 
a  resolution  demanding  that  silver  shall  be 
a  legal  tender  for  all  debts  except  where 
otherwise  provided  by  law,  and  that  both 
silver  and  gold  shall  be  kept  in  circulation 
with  a  fixed  interchangeable  value,  and 
in  which  the  head  of  the  ticket 
in  his  first  set  speech  demonstrates  the  ab- 
surdity of  both  demands.  Nor  need  we 
waste  time  in  trying  to  find  out  why  the 
vital  question  of  re  mmption  was  ignored  in 
the  platform  but  very  boldly  and  on  the 
whole  judiciously  treated  by  the  chief  can- 
didate. The  main  point  is  that  the  ■  type  of 
Ohio  Republicanism  represented  by  Mr. 
Stanley  Matthews  has  given  place  tasome- 
tiiing  more  nearly  akin  to  statesmanship 
and  common  sense  ;  that  the  State  in  which 
EuTHERFORD  B.  Hates  achieved  deserved 
fame  as  the  champion  of  public  honor  and 
individual  honesty  is  not,  even  for  the  stike 
of  a  doubtful  victory,  to  be  given  over  by 
his  party  to  the.  cowardly  tactics  of  trading 
politicians,  and  the  transparent  trickery 
of  demagogues.  The  Ohio  campaign  must 
rise  to  the  standard  of  Judge  West's  latest 
speech  just  as  certainly  as  did  the  national 
campaign  to  the  standard  of  Mr.  Hates'  let- 
ter of  acceptance.  The  Cleveland  platform 
will  bo  even  leas  freanAntl v  Toiaxrod.  to  thAn 


was  that  6f  Cincinnati,  for  while  the  Presi- 
dent's letter  of  uccoptaueo  merely  gave  fa- 
miliar and  emphatic  interpretation  to  the 
stereotype>.l  phrases  of  the  national  plat- 
form, the  resolutions  of  the  State  Conven- 
tion have  been  reconstructed  by  the  bold 
deliverance  of  Judge  West. 

Mr.  Sherman's  speech  comes  in  oppor- 
tunely to  aid  in  clearing  the  minds  and  stift- 
ening  the  resolves  of  the  doubting 
Thomases  of  Ohio.  An  Administration 
for  which  so  much  can,  with  justice, 
be  said,  need  not  go  chaffering  and 
higgling  for  the  indorsement  of  any  State 
ConventioiL  It  is  safe  in  the  confidence 
and  respect  of  a  generous  and  fair-minded 
people.  We  like  the  history  of  the  surren- 
der in  South  Carolina  and  Louisiana 
,a8  given  by  Mr.  Sherman  as  lit- 
tle as  when  we  found  occasion 
to  comment  on  tho  steps  by  which 
that  surrender  was  brought  about.  But  we 
feel  as  certain  as  does  Mr.  Sherman  that  in 
all  his  Southern  policy  the  President  has 
been  actuated  by  "  the  highest  motives  of 
patriotism,"  and  that,  should  his  policy  be 
demonstrated  a  failure,  he  will  use  all 
the  powers  of  his  Office  to  protect 
the  colored  people  in  the  exercise 
of  their  rights  as  citizens.  The 
more  immediate  and  practical  question  of 
emancipating  the  civil  service  from  political 
manipulation,  and  of  making  such  adminis- 
trative reforms  as  shall  lessen  the  cost  of 
Government  and  increase  its  efficiency,  gives 
Mr.  Sherman  a  text  on  which  he  makes 
some  very  satisfactory  remarks.  The  public 
service,  conducted  on  business  principles, 
and  the  national  expenditures  so  reduced  as 
to  be  within  the  limit  of  taxes  chiefly  raised 
from  articles  of  luxury — these  are  the  states- 
manlike aims  to  which  Mr.  Sherman 
pledges  the  Administration,  and  for  which 
he  bespeaks  the  aid  of  Congress.  On  these 
points,  Mr.  Sherman's  practice  has  not 
been  entirely  above  criticism  ;  but,  if  he  is 
prepared  to  adhere  to  them  in  both  the 
spirit  and  the  letter,  he  wUl  certainly  carry 
with  him  the  supH)rt  and  approval  of  the 
majority  of  the  people  ot  the  United  States. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  may  be  ex- 
cused from  being  a  little  over-sanguine  about 
the  success  of  the  four  per  cent,  loan,  es- 
pecially since  he  has  been  able  in  five  months 
and  a  half  to  effect,  by  his  refunding 
and  redemption  operations,  a  saring  equal 
to  three  millions  and  a  half  a  year.  What 
is  rather  more  to  the  purpose  is  that  the 
Seeretarv'  gives  no  indication  of  doubt  or 
wavering  as  to  his  success  in  carrying  out 
the  provisions  of  the  Resumption  act ;  that, 
speaking  in  a  State  where  the  most  egi-e- 
gious  financial  follies  find  ready  con- 
verts, he  made  no  concession  to  the 
advocates  of  inflation  or  to  the  much 
more  reapfctable  class  which  de- 
claims against  the  policy  of  contraction. 
Further,  in  a  State  whose  most  influential 
newspapers,  and  a  very  large  proportion  of 
whose  voters,  demand  the  remonetization  of 
silver,  he  was  at  least  able  to  avoid  giving 
the  slightest  countenance  to  tho  feasibility 
of  a  demand  whose  very  statement  in- 
volves a  contradiction.  Ho  would  have 
done  better  to  have  treated  the  question  in 
the  only  way  in  which  the  chief  financial 
officer  of  the  United  States  .should  treat  it. 
But,  in  other  respects,  the  Secretary 
has  developed  so  rapidly  of  late  that  it 
would  perhaps  be  expecting  too  nrach 
to  look  as  yet  for  decided  views  from 
him  on  tho  vexed  question  of  silver. 
Mr.  Sherman  agrees  with  The  Times 
in  thinking  that  our  railway  system  has 
outgrown  the  regulation  of  State  laws,  and 
must  be  taken  in  hand  by  Congress,  and 
points  »ut  that  the  question  to  be  settled  is 
chiefly  that  at  which  State  Legislatures  have 
tinkered  with  more  or  less  succes.s — the 
establishment  of  maximum  rates  of  freight. 
What  are  the  ageucies  through  which 
the  law  may  best  take  cognizance  of  the 
regulation  of  railroad  traffic  is  a  question 
whose  discussion  may  be  fitly  postponed. 
That  no  worse  agencies  can  possibly  be  de- 
jVised  than  those  which  at  present  control 
the  business  will  bo  generally  conceded.  On 
the  whole,  Mr.  Sherman's  speech  is  not 
only  a  most  opportune  contribution  to  the 
literature  of  the  Ohio  campaign,  but  is  also 
a  very  reassuring  political  manifesto  for  the 
country  at  large. 


THE  WASE  OF  SUMMER. 

Astronomically,  our  Summer  does  not  end 
until  the  beginning  of  the  vernal  equino.'t, 
or  about  Sept.  22.  The  calendar  includes 
June,  July,  aud  -\ugust  as  the  Summer 
months.  But  in  this  latitude  Summer  has 
begun  to  wane  when  tho  1  oth  of  August 
has  passed.  It  is  difficult  to  say  just  when 
we  reach  the  grand  climacteric,  the  supreme 
moment  of  Summer.  In  the  heart  of,  New- 
England,  for  example,  the  face  of  nature 
has  already  assumed  an  autumnal  appear- 
ance. In  less  than  two  weeks  fi'om  now  the 
forests  of  the  White  Mountains  will  have  put 
on  that  glory  of  color  which  is  peculiar  to  a 
region  where  the  leaves  ripen  early 
and  suddenly.  In  this  City  some  of  the 
trees  in  the  parks  are  showing  a  green  and 
yellow  melancholy,  notably  the  elm,  which 
becomes  early  discouraged.  The  beech 
trees  exhibit  signs  of  fatigue  also,  and  the 
maples  shed  that  part  of  their  foliage  which 
was  first  fi'om  the  bud  last  Spring,  though 
these  trees  hold  their  own  bravely,  and  keep 
their  orange  and  scarlet  banners  waving  un- 
til the  tmtimely  snows  fall.  The  sturdy  oaks 
hold  on  to  life  and  verdure  longest,  and  are 
green  when  all  the  dryads  and  hamadryads 
are  sombre  in  brown  and  purple.  The  way- 
farer through  the  Central  Park,  however, 
if  in  melancholy  mood,  will  find  abundant 
suggestion  in  the  dead  leaves  of  various 
species  which  strew  the  greensward.  It  is 
undeniable  that  Summer  is  on  the  wane. 

In  the  matter  of  temperature,  to  be  sure, 
the  difference  between  this  week  and  the 
week  before  is  not  sti-ikingly  perceptible. 
But  the  days  are  growing  shorter  and  the 
sun  rays  are  daily  becoming  more  slanting 
as  they  strike  the  earth.  We  shall  have 
more  very  hot  days,  likely  enough,  just 
as  we  had  a  few  early  in  May,  long  be- 
fore we  had  any  right  to  expect  any — unless 
we  forgot  "  the  singular  weather"  which 
we  have  every  year.  But  the  nights  will 
steadily  grow  cooler,  and  it  is  not  likely  that 
that  we  shall  have  any  more  of  those 
terrible  nights  which  brought  aflliction  and 
sleeplessness  in  July.  Probably  most  of 
our  readers,  certainly  those  in  and  near 
New-Y'ork,  have  yet  lively  recollections  of  a 
famous  Thursday  night,  July  26,  when  the 
thermometer  marked  95°  during  the  day, 
Sd^  at  sundown,  and  not  below  80°  all 
niii:ht.    Th^  was  a  nioiit  to  fae  recalled  with 


a  sLudd<r  of  discomfort,  even  when  the 
frosts  of  December  nip  the  nose  of  the  un 
wary  sleeper.  It  was  a  night  when  rest 
was  absolutely  out  of  the  reach  of  mortal 
man.  We  shall  have  no  more  such,  but  in  a 
week  or  two  the  occasional  blanket  will  be 
spread  for  the  Winter  solstice,  and  the  long 
hot  hours  of  darkness  will  be  remembered 
only  as  a  fevered  dream. 

But,  take  it  altogether,  we  have  not  had  a 
specially  hot  Summer.  The  first  two  weeks 
in  July  gave  us  a  range  of  85°,  86°, 
and  87°  as  the  highest,  average  of 
the  thermometer,  which  is  not  so  bad 
for  this  latitude.  The  Fourth,  as  we  re- 
member it,  was  a  cool,  delightful  day  ;  and 
tradition  invariably  declares  that  Indepen- 
dence Day  should  be  the  hottest  of  the  year. 
About  the  middle  of  July,  however,  the  mid- 
summer heat  was  at  its  height.  Then  the 
mercury  mounted  to  90°.  On  the  16th  it 
was  92° ;  Aug.  10  it  was  89°,  and  on  the 
12th  it  was  90°  again.  But  these 
were  exceptional  days,  and  the  ther- 
mometer has  marked  90°  not  many  times 
during  the  season.  To  be  sure,  the  mercu- 
ry is  not  always  conclusive  to  the  fretful 
person  who  says  that  "  it  is  hotter  than  it 
seems  in  dog-days."  Now,  the  dog-days,  ac- 
cording to  modem  almanaQ-makers,  extend 
from  July  24  to  Aug.  24.  Therefore, 
though  we  are  on  the  down-hill  of  Summer, 
we  have  a  few  more  days  in  which  the  dog- 
star  rages.  It  is  in  this  period  that  we 
must  expect  that  subtle  heat  which  does  not 
so  much  rain  down  in  the  fierce  blaze  of 
the  sun  as  creep  on  the  wings  of  a  moist  and 
sultry  air.  There  is  a  breeze  which  does  not 
cool,  a  moisture  which  debilitates,  a  zephyr 
which  is  steamy.  We  get  these  in  the  dog- 
days,  when  bannisters,  door-knobs,  and  all 
polished  surfaces,  like  the  enmities  of  the 
late  Jul  FlsK,  Jr.,  are  "cold  and  clanuny  to 
tho  touch,"  and  when  everything  rusts 
that  will  rust,  aud  the  mortal  frame 
discharges  perspiration  at  every  pore. 
Then  the  air  is  "  muggy  " — that  is,  we  sup- 
pose, like  the  air  of  a  mug  with  the  lid  down. 
Strictly  speaking,  we  are  yet  in  the  dog- 
days  and  the  "  doldrums,"  as  the  sailors  say. 
Nevertheless,  we  declare  that  the  worst  is 
over,  aud  that  the  Summer  has  been  short, 
and,  on  the  whole,  more  endurable  than  we 
might  have  reasonably  expected.  We  maj' 
consider  ourselves  fortunate  if  we  always 
get  off  as  well. 

Although  the  phenomena  of  the  seasons' 
changes  are  perennially  repeated,  they 
never  lose  their  striking  quality.  Before 
we  know  it,  the  hot  streets  will  be  filled  with 
ice  and  snow.  The  brief  Summer  buins 
out  fiercely,  and  the  blasts  of  WintfjT 
surprise  us.  It  was  onl.v  yesterday  that 
Aramiuta  and  Mary  Jane  were  packing 
their  muslius  and  lawiis  for  the  seaside  f 
To-day  they  are  coming  home,  limp,  be- 
draggled, sunburned  as  to  noses,  and  slightly 
out  of  temper,  but  generally  better 
for  their  short  vacation.  The  Summer 
is  over  before  our  plans  for  its 
enjoyment  are  fully  complete.  This 
year  the  sea-side  has  undoubtedly 
had  tho  best  of  it.  Perhaps  the  railroad 
strike  demoralized  interior  travel.  Perhaps 
the  sea-side  is  less  expensive  to  reach  and  to 
stay  by  ;  and  the  times  are  no  longer  flush. 
At  any  rate,  from  Long  Branch  to  Mount 
Desert,  the  sea-shore  has  never  been  so 
crowded  since  the  waves  began  to  break  on 
rock  and  sand.  The  sea-side  imi-keepers 
only  lament  that  the  season  began  so  late 
and  is  closing  so  early,  as  if  it  were  not  al- 
ways so.  Now,  many  sensible  people  will 
hie  to  the  mountains  where  tho  pa- 
thetic glory  of  tho  closing  year  will 
shortly  be  revealed.  Possibly,  a  les- 
son of  death  and  decay  will  not  come 
amiss  after  the  glitter  and  eternal  youth  of 
the  sea.  But,  aside  from  all  sentimental 
considerations,  it  is  undeniable  that  tho 
tonic  which  may  now  be  absorbed  in  the 
mountains  is  better  than  any  elsewhere 
found.  Next  comes  the  killing  frost  of 
Winter,  the  hospitable  fire-side  of  home,  and 
the  rapid  flight  of  our  Northern  seasons. 
Fortunately,  we  are  not  bored  with  a  per- 
petual Summer  where  there  is  a  hideous 
uniformity  from  January  to  December.  The 
frosts  are  terrible,  to  be  sure,  and  the  heat 
of  Summer  is  fierce  as  fire.  But  both  of 
these  are  soon  over,  aud  while  we  are  com- 
plaining a  change  for  the  better  has  come. 


PUSIFYISG  THE  STAGE. 

At  last  an  organized  effort  is  to  be  made 
to  elevate  and  purify  the  stage.  This,  at 
least,  is  the  ostensible  purpose  of  an  as- 
sociation which  has  recently  been  formed 
somewhere  in  New-England,  having,  it  is 
fair  to  presume,  its  immediate  cause  in 
those  exhibitions  so  dear  to  the  heart  of  the 
Harvard  student.  The  association  has  suf- 
ficiently developed  itself  to  elect  as 
its  President  its  chief  promoter,  and  from 
hiia  the  statement  comes  that  all  who  wish 
may  become  regular  members  by  an  an- 
nual payment  of  one  dollar.  Thus  far 
the  course  of  the  society  is  clear  and  well 
defined  ;  but  beyond  the  object,  the  Presi- 
dent, and  the  assessment,  there  is  a  vague 
iudeflniteness  concerning  which  only  oracu- 
lar information  is  vouchsafed.  Something  is 
said  about  holding  public  meetings,  issuing 
tracts,  and  iufluencing  the  daily  press  in  the 
various  great  cities  of  this  country  ;  but  it 
is  certain  that  no  definite  plan  of  action  has 
been  decided  upoii,  and  this  amounts  to  a 
confession,  if  the  originators  are  honest,  that 
while  recognizing  the  evil  they  know  of  nc 
satisfactory  means  of  combating  it. 

The  moral  or  immoral  tendency  of  theat- 
rical performances  has  been  a  subject  of 
discussion  from  a  very  early  historical  time, 
and  in  common  with  a  number  of  other 
ethical  questions  continues  to  be  debated 
through  each  succeeding  generation  without 
getting  any  nearer  a  settlement.  Indeed,  it 
is  hard  to  see  how  the  question  can  be 
finally  answered  until  human  nature  has  so 
far  changed  as  to  make  both  question  and 
answer  of  no  importance.  The  highest  au- 
thority states  that  the  stage  is  to  hold  a 
mirror  up  to  nature,  and  in  so  doing  it  is 
clearly  performing  its  chief  ftmction  ;  yet 
there  is  reason  for  thinking  that  this 
very  act  constitutes  the  ground  of  offense. 
In  spite  of  many  improvements,  human  na- 
ture has  not  been  sufficiently  sublimated  to 
be  a  sweet  and  pleasant  thing  for  concrete 
ansilyzation.  The  theatre  is  not  a  Sunday- 
school  or  a  church  gathering,  where  certain 
eminent  virtues  are  allowed  to  obscure 
equally  well-rooted  vices;  and,  therefore, 
as  in  every  day  life,  man's  besetting  sins  are 
given  on  the  stage  with  that  positiveness 
that  belongs  to  them.  It  cannot  be  said  that 
in  its  entirety  this  is  overdone ;  indeed, 
it  has  baezi  olAimed   b-v  a.  caxdful    wrxtfir 


that  the  world,  as  exemplified  on  the  stage 
of  to-day,  is  a  better  and  purer  one  than 
that  in  which  we  are  living  and  ot  which 
we  form  a  part.  It  might  be  added  that 
characterizations  of  the  salient  features  in 
the  lives  of  most  men  and  women  would 
produce  either  very  silly  farces  or  very  sad 
dramas. 

It  is  an  undeniable  fact  tkat  the  improve- 
■ment  in  stage  morals  has  kept  pace  with 
social  progress.  Even  with  an  interval  of 
nearly  two  thousand  years,  one  can  ha»dly 
credit  the  accounts  of  those  dramatical  per- 
formances at  the  time  of  the  Roman  Em- 
pire, where  the  supposed  irregularities  of 
gods  and  goddesses  were  given  with  start- 
ling fidelity.  It  has  been  noticed  that  the 
condemnation  of  the  early  Christian  Church 
gave  a  semblance  of  decency  to  theatrical 
representations  peculiarly  characteristic  of 
the  age.  It  will  be  rtiadily  admitted  that 
the  advance  since  that  time  has  been  im- 
mense ;  and  in  coming  down  to  a  more  recent 
period,  it  is  found  that  but  few  plays  writ^ 
ten  three  hundred  years  ago  can  now  be 
given  on  account  of  the  higher  moral  tone 
of  the  auditors. 

The  chief  difficulty  with  which  thea- 
tre-goers have  to  contend  has  been 
the  uncertain  character  of  the  perform- 
ances given  at  any  one  theatre. 
Thus  it  has  often  been  the  case  that 
the  so-called  legitimate  drama  has  been 
sandwiched  between  seasons  in  which  the 
performances  were,  clearly  of  a  prurient 
order.  But  even  in  this  respect,  iu  a  great 
Metropolis  like  our  own,  a  clear  line 
of  demarkation  soon  takes  place ;  and 
if  not  the  ease  in  smaller  cities 
it  can  at  least  be  claimed  with  us  that  from 
the  name  of  the  theatre  one  can  judge  very 
faii'ly  of  the  character  of  the  plays  there 
enacted.  Whatever  improvement  there  is 
beyond  this  will  have  to  take  place  in  tlio 
audience  before  it  is  reflected  on  the  stage. 
Like  the  passion  for  intoxicating  drinks,  the 
cure,  after  a  certain  amoimt  of  regulation, 
lies  not  so  much  in  banishing  the  stimulant 
as  in  correcting  the  natural  tendency.  For 
this  reason  a  society  which  should  aim  to 
elevate  and  purify  the  stage  would  have  to 
begin  by  elevating  and  purifying  the  human 
race,  and,  as  there  is  no  short-cut  road  by 
which  this  eud  may  be  attained,  those  who 
claim  a  speedy  success  may  be  set  down  as 
impostors,  and  none  the  less  so  because  they 
may  often  have  imposed  upon  themselves. 


THE  CONCERTINA. 

There  is  a  so-called  musical  instrument 
which  is  variously  known  as  the  accordion, 
the  concertina,  or  the  harmonica.  It  is 
modeled  upon  the  common  domestic  cat. 
If  a  cat  is  either  violently  squeezed  togeth- 
er or  pulled  out  to  au  unusual  length  the 
result  is  a  note,  or  series'  of  notes,  of  pe- 
culiar sharpness  and  of  a  reed-like  quality. 
There  is  no  malignant  musician  who  is  not 
well  acquainted  with  the  cat's  capabilities 
as  a  sound  producer,  but  few  men  can  play 
on  a  cat  in  a  way  to  satisfy  a  critical 
audience.  Indeed,  the  cat  is  probably  the 
most  difficult  of  all  musical  instruments, 
and,  though  small  boys  frequently  attempt 
to  play  it,  an  accomplished  cat  virtuoso  is 
extremely  rare.  As  a  substitute  for  the 
cat,  some  nameless  villain,  many  years  ago, 
invented  the  concertina.  This  nefarious 
instnuiient  is  played  by  alternately  squeez- 
ing and  pulling  it  precisely  as  though  it 
were  a  cat,  and  the  souud  which  it  givi-s 
forth  is  a  very  close  imitation  of 
the  sound  of  the  former  instrument, 
although  a  trifle  more  nasal  in  its  timbre. 
Unfortunately,  the  concertina  is  as  easy  to 
master  as  the  cat  is  difficult ;  aud  it  is  hence 
the  favorite  instrument  of  the  idle  and  de- 
praved. One  small  boy  of  10  years  of  age 
has  often,  with  the  aid  of  a  single  concer- 
tina, depopulated  a  whole  neighborhood. 
The  instrument  does  not,  it  is  true,  pro- 
duce as  immediate  an  effect  as  does  the 
comet,  and  hence  the  latter  instrument  is 
preferred  by  land  speculators  who  desire  to 
rapidly  depress  the  value  ot  real  estate  in 
any  given  locality.  Still,  the  concertina  is 
sure,  even  if  it  is  comparatively  slow,  aud 
there  is  no  surer  way  of  making  a  handsome 
fortune  than  to  move  into  a  small  house  in 
a  good  neighborhood,  with  a  small  boy  who 
plays  the  concertina  ;  to  buy  up  the  sur- 
rounding property  at  a  nominal  figure  as 
fast  as  its  owners  fly,  or  are  removed  to  the 
lunatic  asylum,  and  to  then  publicly  Mil  the 
boy  to  restore  coiifidence  and  create  a  rise 
in  the  value  of  the  property.  Many  of  our 
richest  and  best  men  have  amassed  their 
wealth  in  precisely  this  way  ;  and  while 
small  boys  aud  concertinas  remain  as  cheap 
as  they  now  are,  the  business  will  be  open 
to  all  persons  of  moderate  means. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  lightning  is 
one  of  the  ablest  of  natural  phenomena.  The 
ease  with  which  lightning  can  find  a  man  in 
the  dark;  the  celerity  with  which  it  can  pur- 
sue him,  aud  the  efficiency  with  which  it  can 
strike,  have  been  in  all  ages  the  themes  of 
admiration  among  those  who  have  seen  other 
people  attract  the  attention  of  the  electric 
fluid.  There  is  nothing  that  kills  a  man  as 
thoroughly  as  does  lightning,  and  it  more- 
over frequently  paints  a  beautiful  picture 
on  the  breast  or  back  of  its  victim,  and 
throws  it  in  gratuitously,  just  as  if  it  were 
a  prize  ohromo.  Scientific  persons  tell  us 
that  a  man  was  once  struck  by  lightning 
while  walking  along  a  country  road  in 
France,  and  that  no  trace  of  him  was  ever 
afterward  found  ;  the  intense  heat  having 
instantly  dissipated  him  in  the  form  of 
gases.  This  beautiful  anecdote  has  com- 
forted thousands  of  oppressed  s.ouls  who 
have  remembered  it  when  thunder-storms 
to  which  their  creditors  were  exposed  were 
in  progress,  and  it  is  greatly  to  be  wished 
that  it  rested  upon  some  better  authority 
than  the  assertion  of  mere  scientific  per- 
sons. 

The  reader  may  not  at  once  perceive  the 
connection  between  concertinas  and  light- 
ning. Indeed,  the  lightning  has  hitherto 
deplorably  tailed  to  eonneot  with  the  con- 
certina. There  is  probably  not  a  man  liv- 
ing who  has  not  thought  what  a  blessed 
thing  it  would  be  were  lightning  to  invari- 
ably hit  persons  engaging  in  playing  the 
concertina.  In  view  of  the  failure  of  the 
lightning  to  strike  concertina-players,  su- 
perficial observers  have  ventured  to  hint 
that  the  splendid  capabilities  of  electricity 
have  been  wasted,  while  infidels  have 
boldly  denied  that  lightning  is  smy  benefit 
whatever  to  mankind.  What  is  obviously 
wanted  is  a  closer  connection  between 
lightning  and  the  concertina.  The  man 
who  tries  to  play  the  latter  should  be  made 
to  feel  that  he  is  trifling  with  the  former, 
ftnd.  that  the  xnomant  the  Ujzhtaiijur  aau  ^et 


a  fair  aim  at  him  his  crime  will  be  swiftly 
and  fittingly  pnnished. 

There  has  recently  occurred  a  joyful  inci- 
dent in  New-England  which  will  revive  pub- 
lic confidence  in  lightning  and  kindle  hope 
in  the  breasts  of  suffering  humanity.  Dur- 
ing a  thunder-shower  in  a  New-Hampshire 
town,  a  bold,  bad  man,  who  was  doubtless 
either  an  atheist  or  a  positivist,  stood  at  his 
front  door  and  played  the  concertina  in  a 
way  that  was  little  short  of  blasphemy.  Ho 
had  played  that  instrument  with  impunity 
for  many  years,  aud  he  believed  that  ven- 
geance had  forgotten  him,  and  that  he  was 
safe.  Suddenly,  a  blinding  flash  of  light- 
ning darted  from  the  sky  and  hit  him  fair- 
ly in  the  mouth.  Then  the  electricity  ran 
cheerfully  down  his  body,  scorching  him  in 
a  way  that  would  have  brought  smiles  to 
the  face  of  even  a  deaf  person,  and  finally 
passing  off  through  the  toes  of  his  boots, 
rendered  those  organs  henceforth  useless. 
The  man  was  not  entirely  killed,  but  he  was 
severely  injured,  and  his  neighbors  are  still 
quite  hopeful  as  to  his  case.  Of  course,  the 
incident  is  generally  regarded  by  the  reli- 
gious part  of  the  community  as  an  instance 
of  the  direct  punishment  of  crime,  and  it 
will  probably  be  a  fruitful  theme  for  ser- 
mons and  tracts.  All  good  men  wfll  rejoice 
at  it  and  accept  it  as  an  evidence  that  the 
lightning  is  henceforth  prepared  to  do  its 
whole  duty,  and  is  to  be  hoped  that  it  wiU 
prove  a  salutary  warning  to  those  who  are 
now  habitually  guilty  of  playing  the  con- 
certina.

Robert  Toombs  seems  to  have  be^n  misrepre- 
sented in  one  thing,  for  he  publicly  said,  in  the 
Georgia  Constitutional  Convention  on  the  1-lth  inst., 
that  while  some  things  had  not  gone  to  suit  his  judg. 
ment  yet,  as  a  whole,  if  the  convention  proceeds  as 
well  as  it  has  done,  he  shall  approve  and  stand  by  its 
work. 

In  a  Texas  paper  of  recent  date  we  read  : 
"Yesterday  a  darkey  came  into  Gale  &  Bright 's  drug 
store,  and  told  Mr.  B.  that  while  he  was  at  the 
colored  camp-meeting,  near  town,  the  devil  ap- 
peared in  their  midKt.  with  seven  heads,  and  n  crown 
on  each  head.  The  meeting  broke  up  iu  a  panic,  the 
preacher  being  the  first  one  to  run." 

The  Columbus  (Gn.)  Enquirer  must  be  put 
among  the  opponents  of  the  proposed  new  Constitu- 
tion of  that  State.  In  its  issue  of  the  I5th  inst.  It 
says:  "We  have  carefully  read  the  proceedings  of 
the  Convention,  and  wo  feel  satisfied  that  they  will 
offera  Constilutioathat  few  who  have  the  interest 
of  the  State  at  heart  can  vote  to  adopt." 

The  charter  of  the  City  of  Memphis,  Tenn., 
requires  that  a  tax  of  10  ceiits  on  the  $100  be  levied 
for  the  support  of  the  public  schools,  but  the  Demo, 
cratie  City  Council  has  reduced  the  tax  to  5  cents, 
which,  the  Appeal  says,  will  be  wholly  inadequate 
for  the  requirements  of  the  city  schools.  However,  it 
measures  the  love  the  Democrats  have  for  education. 

A  Connecticut  minister,  preaching  against  ex- 
travagance in  dress,  told  the  women  of  his  congrega- 
tion that  they  ought  not  to  wear  any  better  clothes 
than  those  worn  by  members  of  his  own  family.  And 
the  most  exast>erated  women  in  that  consregation  to- 
day are  his  wife  and  daughters.  "Just  as  if  they 
didn't  dress  as  well  as  anybody,  they  would  like  to 
know." 

The  Coroner's  jury  in  San  Francisco,  in  the 
case  of  Leslie  C.  Hanks,  the  murderer,  returned  a 
verdict  that  he  came  to  his  death  in  the  cell  of  the 
City  Prison  from  the  effects  of  a  gunshot  wound 
through  the  heart,  inflicted  by  himself  with  suicidal 
intent,  and  that  sufficient  precautions  on  the  part  of 
the  officers  on  duty  were  not  taken  to  prevent 
such   occuxrenee.

Troy,  N.  Y.,  Au^.  17. — To-day  has  beer, 
occupied  exclusively  in  the  attempt  of  ihe 
crowd  to  get  away  from  Bennington.  They 
fcundit  was  no  easy  thing  to  come,  and  possi- 
bly a  little  more  diMcult  to  ^t  away.  Xo  rail- 
road nearer  to  Bennington  than  Troy  has  any 
thing  but  a  single  track,  and  the  problem  pre- 
sented to  the  railroad  men  -R-a.^  l^r  to  carry 
50.000  people  into  a  remote  and  out  uf  the  way 
town  up  in  the  mountains,  and  to  bring  them 
back  again  within  the  space  of  thr*n.*days,andTo 
do  this  on  a  single  line  of  rails.  It  would 
be  too  much  to  say  that  Miey  did  it  successfully. 
They  hare  done  it,  and  tliat  is  all  that  can  be 
said,  and  with  only  one  accident,  which  the 
courage  of  a  young  telegraph  operaior  pre- 
vented from  being  a  frightful  disaster.  To 
meet  the  extra  requirements  of  the  celebration 
the  railroad  authorities  had  to  borrow  300  cars 
and  a  number  of  en;rini;s,  and  engineers  ran 
trains  over  the  road  who  had  never  seen  it  un- 
til thev  got  their  orJers  to  start.  There  has 
been  little  attempt  to  run  on  time.  .  The 
trains  have  been  movc-1  by  telegraph, 
and  the  delays  are  numerous  and  long. 
The  train  which  leaves  Benifiutrion  at  1:05  P. 
M.  was  recommended  by  residents  as  a  fa<i; 
train,  making  close  connection  .at  Troy,  and 
few  stops  from  there  to  New-York.  A  Iar;^e 
crowd  assembled  to  talie  tliis  train,  si>  larse  in 
fact  that  some  open  platform  cars,  hastily  fitted 
mth  rough  pine  seats,  were  made  to  do  duty  a& 
passenger  cui^.  The  train  iiad  ouly  run  a  few 
miles,  and  reached  a  juu<*tion  of  w>tni'  s^irt, 
when  it  came  to  a  dead  st»»p  aud  waited 
there  for  nearly  an  hnur.  Startin::  again, 
it  ran  to  Hoosic  Juiirtjoii.  wheie  it 
was  to  connect  with  armtLt-r  irain,  Tlit*;.  of 
course,  had  gone,  aud  the  passeii,;ers  liH*i  tho 
pleasure  of  waiting  on  a  si<le  tra<'k  until  4 
o'clock,  when  a  train  from  Norlh  Adams  came 
up  and  began  to  hiieU  on,  «iu:>i  as  the  start 
was  about  tu  be  made  auolher  train  came  iu 
from  BenniuiTtou.  and  they  cou.meneed  pulling 
and  hauling.  s\\earin;r  and  shunting,  aud 
as  the  result  of  it  tht*  ears  of  Jlie 
second  train  were  also  hitched  on.  The 
long  train  then  iniKle  a  start  :.nd  crawled 
down  to  Troy  by  tii'Si).  Passengers  who 
left  Bennington  at  1  o'.-loek  shruld  have  ar- 
rived at  Troy  at  2:li.'».  (.'f  ourse.  all  conneriions 
were  lost,  aud  the  pleas:ire-seekeis  had  to  wait 
for  the  night  train.  Trains  running  norih  out 
of  Bennington  to  Rutland,  Bnrliiigt*jn.  and  St. 
Albans,  have  be<.'n  just  as  much  crowded  and  as 
loiiK  delayed  as  those  running  to  Troy.  While 
waiting  at  Hoosic  Junction  this  aftt;moon  tho 
passengers  were  cheered  bv  the  sight  of  the 
debris  from  the  accideut  of  'Tuesday,  and  sev- 
eral of  them  related  their  exi>eriences  in  that 
affair.  One  man,  who  stood  on  the  rear  plr.t-

Tnan.  and  the  switchman  was  busy  at  something 
else  than  the  swit*h.  The  evident  confusitiu 
and  uncertainty  which  seemed  to  prevail  this 
afternoon  when  the  second  trttin  came  in  from.

B.ALTniORE,  Aug.  17.— Gov.  Carroll  to-day 
forwarded  the  following  letter  to  the  President : 

Baltimore.  Md..  Aug.  17.  1877. 
To  his  EjcrUency  liutker/ord  B.  Hayes,  President  of 
the  t'nifed  Sfateg  : 

Sir  :  The  disorders  exxstiDg  in  tins  State  in  Jolv 
last  upon  the  line  of  the  Baltimore  and  Obio  Rail- 
road— an  inter-iitate  railway — resulted  in  do- 
mestic violence  and  thO  interruptiou  of 
coiiunerce  and  iutfreourse  by  that  roato.  As 
the  Legislature  could  not  be  eonventii  these  evils  im- 
posed up*m  me  the  constitutional  obligation  to  re- 
ijnire  from  your  Excellency  the  emplojTuent  of  aach 
portiousof  the  forces  of  the  Vuitvd  States  as  might 
lie  necessary  to  assist  the  eivil  and  inilitarj'  uower  of 
this  .State  iu  the  enfurcemeut  of  its  laws.  Suosei^neiit 
obstruction  to  the  free  pas.*age  of  boats  upon 
tht^  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  a  public  inter-State 
highway,  ciihuinuting  in  serious  criminal  offenses, 
made  it  ne-jessaiy  to  employ  portions  of  the  State 
and  tho  United  States  fortes  to  opert  this  highway 
and  to  repress  such  offeud^-rs.  I  am  verv'  happy  to 
say  that  although  the  di-sorJers  in  question  ex- 
tended through  a  h>ny  belt  of  territory  and 
threatened  public  evils  of  the  trrovesl  nature,  the 
presence  of  the  civil  a^d  milit.*\rj-  forces  of  the  State 
and  of  the  Federal  fo^rce.  invoked  for  their  repres- 
sion, has  bf-eu  sufficient  to  restore  order  iu  this 
State  without  great  flestruetion  of  property,  and 
^vithout  other  loss  of  life  than  that  which  un- 
happily occurred  iu  the  City  of  Baltimore  at 
the  outbreak  of  a  sudden  rioi.  Tranquillity 
having  been  restored.  I  have  given  the  ne- 
ces>'arj' orders  for  the  dismissal  of  the  State  troops 
from  active  ser\'ice,  and  have  expressed  to  them  and 
to  the  Police  force  of  this  city  tbe  jmblic  sense  of 
th-*  eiemplary  manner  iu  which  their  duties  have 
been  discnarged.  I  desire,  before  the  orders  are  exe- 
cuted for  the  withdrawal  of  the  trowjis  of  the  Cnited 
States  from  the  particular  service  to  which  they 
have  been  assiifiied.  to  express  also  the  public  sense 
<)f  the  fidelity. '^ood  judgment,  and  discretion  with 
whirh  the  duties  intrusted  to  them  have  been  per- 
formed. I  have  the  honor  to  be.  with  great  respect. 
your  obedjeut  sen.aui.        JOHN  LEE  CARROLLi.

RATION. 

Philadelphia,  Penn.,  Aug.  17. — The  fol- 
lowing was  issued  to-day  from  the  oflBce  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad,  concerning  freight  de- 
stroyed by  the  rioters  at  Pittsburg,  and  sent  to 
all  the  general  division  freight  agents  of  the 
company : 

"  In  answer  to  the  many  <juestions  and  inquiriea 
that  are  being  made  by  shippir^  and  consi^ees  as  to 
the  intention  of  the  company  relative  to  the  loss  and 
damage  of  freight  by  fire.  &c.  occasion**d  by  the  late 
riotous  mob  at  Pittsburg,  we  have  instructed  onr 
division  freight  agents  to  answer  Rubstantlally  as  fol- 
lows, viz:  Tlie  whole  matter  relating  to  the  losws 
."nstained  by  the  railroad  company  and  ahippcrs 
awaits  the  consideration  of  the  legal  advisers  of  the 
cnmpany.  who  will  determine  tho  ultimate  steps  of 
its  inaiiaging  officers.  The  questions  are  of  so  grave 
a  chnnurter.  and  i)resent  such  a  variety  of  circum- 
j^tances.  that  the  company  must  have  time  to 
determine  them.  In  order  that  uniformity  ami 
harmony  of  action  may  be  taken  hy  the  line  officers 
and  etrents,  as  well  .as  division  freight  agents,  we 
woulil  pai:2est  that  you  convey  this  information  to 
such  line  agents  as  yt'U  see  proper  to  advise.  Ship- 
ners  of  east-bound,  and  consignees  of  weat-bonnd 
frt-jgnt,  should  be  advised  of  freight  burned  or  de- 
stroyed when  you  have  knowledge  of  the  fact  fur- 
nished yoa  by  tlie  proper  officers  of  the  lino.  In  do- 
ing so  you  wilL  of  coui-se.  not  undertake  to  indicate 
a  p<»]icy  for  the  r:tilroad  comiiunii-s  to  follow  in  this 
matter.  It  should  be  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the 
inquirer,  and  quite  suffii-ient  for  the  time  being,  for 
you  to  reply  discreetly  and  substantially  as  noted 
ab<jve.  In  due  time,  undoubtedly,  the  course  to  be 
pursued  by  the  companies  will  be  fully  detenuindd, 
and  all  concerned  properly  ad\-ised."

SSf^:uxl  Dispatch  to  (Ae  N'w-  York  Times. 

Chicago,  D1.,  Aug.  17. — About  a  year 
ago  Charles  and  Joseph  Metzler  formed  a  co- 
partnership here  in  the  notion  and  job  lot  busi- 
ness. The  latter  partner  had  not  enjgyed  a  very 
good  reputation  financially  or  moraUy,  Quite  a 
trade  was  worked  up  and  the  firm  pro.spered. 
About  a  month  ago  Charles  Metzler  went  to 
Xew-York  to  buy  goods.  While  in  that 
City  he  was  urged  by  the  partner 
here  '  to  buy  very  liberally,  and  it 
now  appears  that  the  grossest  deception  was 
practiced  by  Joseph,  who,  by  a  peculiar  system 
of  book-keeping,  represented  the  sales  here 
largely  in  excess  of  what  tbey  were  by  false 
entries.  In  consequence,  about  $15,000  worth 
of  goods  were  bought  in  New- York  upon  their 
representations  and  shipped  here.  When  the 
goods  were  received  they  were  secretly  sold  by 
Joseph  Metzler.  and  the  funds  pocketed. 
Letters  containing  checks  were  also  taken 
possession  of  by  him.  us  were  also  drafts 
received  from  country  customers.  He  also  ex- 
changed checks  for  several  thousand  dollars 
with  friends  about  town,  giving  judgment  notes 
as  security.  After  getting  all  he  could  into  his 
bauds  he  qnietly  left  town  a  few  nights  ago, 
aud.  accompanied  by  his  father-in-law,  tied  to 
C'auada.  He  took  about  .'flu.OOO  in  cash.  The 
creditors,  who  live  mainly  "in  New- York,  have 
taken  steps  to  Vi'ind  up  the  affairs  of  the  con- 
cern.

Hartford^  Aug.  7.  —  The  stockholders 
of  tbe  Atlas  Fire  Insurance  Company  to-day 
voted  to  accept  the  recommendation  of  the 
Board  of  Directors  that  the  business  of  the 
company  be  wound  up.  The  Directors  will 
meet  to-morrow  to  decide  whether  to  carry  risks 
to  maturity  or  reinsure  them. 

St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Aug.  17. — The  statement  in

Franklin  Insurance  Company,  of  Wheeling ;  the 
Old  Dominion,  of  Richmond;  the  Residence,  of 
Cleveland :  the  Homestead,  of  Watertown,  N,Y., 
and  the  Missouri  Valley  Life,  of  Leavenworth, 
Kan.,  had  been  debarred  from  doing  further 
business  in  this  State  proves  to  have  been  in- 
correct. State  Insurance  Commissioner  W.  S.* 
Reefe  announces  officially  tbat  these  companies 
voluntarily  withdrew  their  business  froni  ilis- 
souri,  and  were  not  debarred,  as  previously 
stated. 

Albakt,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  17.— Justice  Lan- 
don  has  issued  an  order  to  the  Universal  Life 
Insurance  Company  to  show  cause  why  a  Re- 
ceiver to  take  charge  of  its  business  should  not 
be  appointed.  The  answer  is  to  be  made  to 
Justice  Landon,  at  Schenectady.  Aug.  21.  The 
application  grows  out  of  the  case  of  the  North 
American  Life  Insurance  Company,  and  the 
Receivership  is  to  continue  during  the  pendency 
of  that  action. 

Watertowx,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  17. — ^A  published

the  Homestead  Fire  Insurance  Company,  of 
Watertown,  N.  Y.,  ia  debarred  from  further 
prosecution  of  business  in  Missouri.  This  is 
untrue.  The  Homestead  is  perfectly  sonnd  and 
withdrew  from  Missouri  voluntarily  owing  to  a 
lack  of  business. 

Ottawa,  Canada,  Aug.  17. — The  Inspector 
of  Insurance  has  issued  his  report,  which  shows 
that  American  life  companiefi  have  received 
in  premiums  from  Canadian  policy  holders 
since  18U9  the  sum  of  $17,9'48,987.  Last 
year  theyreceived  $1,497,612  ;  Canadian  com- 
^paziies,  #1,768,&43  ;  Britiah  commniaa  ^97- .

remark  regardine  life  insurance  that  the  best 
'Protection  for  policy -holders  would  be  afforded 
by  the  Government  itself  undertaking  the  func- 
tions of  life  insurance  until  the  Life  bill  of  the 
last  session  of  Parliament  is  in  full  operation, 
which  will  not  be  until  after  March  31,  1878. 
The  returns  of  life  companies  cannot  be  as

TEE  LOCOMOTIVE  BROTEERSOOD. 


DOUBLE-DEALIXQ  "WITH  STRIKEBS — OBOER- 
rSG  MEN  TO  QTirr  "WORK,  AND  THEN 
LETTING  THEM  STARVE. 

From  Out  oirn  Correspondent. 
Philadelphia.  Friday,  Aug.  17, 1877. 
The  locomotive  engineers,  who  were  employed 
on  the  Reading  Railroad  last  April,  and  who  went 
out  on  a  strike  because  President  Go^en  issued  an 
order  damanding  that  all  engineers  in  the  employ  of 
the  company  should  renounce  their  allegiance  with 
the  Brotherhood,  are  now  denouncing  the  oi^aniza- 
tion  known  as  the  Brotherhood  of  Locomo- 
tive Engineers  in  unmeastured  terms  as  a 
fraud.  Some  35  of  the  men  forsook  their 
positions,  on  the  promise  of  receiving  $60 
per  month,  until  they  obtained  employment 
elsewhere.  But  two  of  the  35  have  thus  far  suc- 
ceeded. About  25  of  those  left  are  in  a  staihring 
condition,  their  families  in  want,  and  li%'ing  on 
charity.  This  is  a  veritable  fact,  vouched  for  oy  a 
number  of  responsible  persons  and  the  evidence 
presented  to  your  correspondent.  Instead  of  paying 
the  $60  per  month  as  proniLsed.  a  member  received 
but  $63  m  four  months,  and  that  iu  installinont3  of 
$5.  $10.  and  $15  at  a  time.  When  they  applied  for 
more  they  were  informed  that  the  Brotherhood  was 
poor  and  had  no  money,  and  that  nothing  could  be 
don©  for  them.  In  conversation  with  Mr.  Emmanuel 
Richards,  one  of  the  sufferers,  who  was  persuaded  to 
join  the  strikers,  it  was  learned  that  the  Brotherhood 
of  Engineers  throughout  the  country  are  now  paying 
in  $3  per  month  &om  each  man  who  has  wont  to 
support  those  who  are  out  of  employment,  but  that 
very  Httle  of  the  money  conies  to  Philadelphia,  ex- 
cept to  a  select  coterie,  who  monopolize 
it  all.  He  says  that  ntunbers  of  the 
men  refuse  to  pay  the  assessment,  and 
that  there  is  a  cn'owmg  dissatisfaction  among  tho 
men  regarding  the  Brotherhood,  amounting  to  so 
much  that  they  regard  each  other  with  suspicion 
and  put  no  faith  in  one  another.  The  strikers  have 
been  compelled  to  pawn  and  sell  their  household 
goods,  and  are  In  absolute  penury,  brought  about  by 
the  double-dealing  of  the  Brotherhood.  "  In  this  view 
of  the  matter,  those  who  are  eut  do  not  believe  there 
will  be  ft  general  strike,  for  if  thei  e  is  they  would  to 
B  man  apply  for  the  vacant  positions.  Further,  the 
Brotherhood  has  exhausted  its  funds,  and  could  not 
carry  on  a  war  against  the  railroad  companies. 


ly  DEFENCE  OF  MAJOR  PVRNELL, 


To  the  Editor  of  the  Xetc-Yorb  Timea  : 

You  unintentionally  did  great  injustice  to  a 
faithful  soldier,  a  valuable  officer  of  the  Govern- 
ment, an  enterprising  and  generous  citizen,  and  a 
man  of  tho  purest  integrity,  when  you  published  in 
your  Tuesday's  issue  a  cotnmunicatiou  from  the 
Evanaville  (Ind.)  Journal  la  the  interest  of  Prank 
L.  Britton,  who  last  Friday  attempted  to  ass&sainate 
Thomas  F.  Pumell,  United  States  Marshal,  of  Aus- 
tin, Texas. 

Major  Puniell  was  a  loyal  and  distinguished  soldier 
during  the  entire  war  of  the  rebellion.  Since  his  ap- 
pointment, during  the  early  pxrt  of  Grant's  Adminis- 
tration,  he  has  discharged  hia  laborious  and  perilous 
duties  with  unusual  ability,  under  peculiarly  trying 
circumstances,  aud  although  he  has  repeatedly  been 
the  subject  of  attack  from  the  moat  unscrupulous 
and  malignant  of  enemies,  and  although  charges 
of  tho  most  ponderous  character,  backed 
by  such  men  as  ex-Gov.  Bavls  and  his 
nephew — the  would-be  assassin — have  been  made 
against  him  at  Washington,  Major  Purnell.  while  he 
has  ever  challenged  the  utmost  scrutiny  in  his  case, 
has  in  every  instance  put  his  enemies  to  shame,  and 
stood  bffore  the  world  vindicated  and  indorsed  by  the 
Administratiou  as  an  honest,  able,  aud  trustworthy 
man. 

The  article  in  the  Evansville  Joitmal  abounds  in 
misstatements,  many  of  them  self-evident.  I  shall 
refer  to  only  two  or  ttirea.  The  author  of  the  ar- 
ticle admits  that  ever  since  Major  Pamell's 
appointment  as  United  States  Marshal,  Davis  and 
this  Britton  have  repeatedly  been  to  Washington  to 
get  him  removed  ;  they  have.in  every  instance  failed, 
because,  thev  »ay.  "Mrs.  Purnell  was  an  adopted 
daughter  of  Bishop  Ames,  wht>  had  a  ver>'  strong 
influence  witii  the  Administration,  whether  exerted 
or  not."  This  is  a  singular  imputation  to  lay  upon 
th»}  character  and  honor  of  I^resident  tJr^ut,  as  well 
as  upon  the  Attomoy-fieniTal  and  other  officials  un- 
der hliu.  How  will  he  alteuipt  to  arrouut 
for  Ills  failure  with  the  present  Admin- 
istration (  The  artirlo  states  tn.it  the  "Hon." 
Frank  L.  Britton  "came  ont  unscnthed  In 
the  aflfrav,"  and  in  Brilton's  teU^grara  to  his  brother 
he  Slates.  "  I  liave  acted  strictly  in  self-defense." 
Cnited  States  District- Attorney  A.  J.  Evans,  of  Aus- 
tin, Texas,  telegraphs  to  Hon.  Charles  Devens.  At- 
torney-General at  Washini;ton,  and  puhlishod  in  Sat- 
UF'lav's  Times,  that  '"no  blame  is  attached  to  Pur- 
nell/' All  accounts  from  Austin  a^ee  that  Purnell 
was  unarmed,  aud  the  attack  was  unprovoked. 
Major  Purnell  was  just  recovering  frfim  a  protracted 
illness:  was  so  feeble  and  ema^'lated  that  at  the  time 
the  ruffian  Britton  sought  him  out  to  murder  him  h# 
weighed  Imt  10>1  pounds.  Britton  says  "  he  acted 
strictly  in  self-defense. "  i>o  said  tbe  inuorent  wolf, 
crimson  with  the  blood  f»t  hia  victim  of  the  fold. 

The  facts*  are  simply  these:  Major  Purnell  is  a 
valuable  officer  of  the  Government,  a  prominent  Re- 
publican, popular,  and  loyally  sustained  by  his  party 
at  home,  except  by  a  few  disaffected  ones  of  the 
Davis-Britton  faction,  who  have  made  many  attempts 
to  get  him  removed  by  making  false  charges  against 
him  at  Washington.  They  have  alwaj-s  failed,  for  the 
most  obvious  reasons.  Latterly  they  have  attempted 
to  deceive  the  new  Administration  with  a  rehash 
of  old  charges  and  new  ones  of  recent  manufacture. 
They  were  as  unsucce-ssful  as  before.  N'one  of  their 
stories  were  believed  in  Washinifton.  Britton,  who 
is  in  the  interest  of  Davis,  his  nephew,  and  a  mem- 
ber of  his  family,  went  home  rebuked  and  discom- 
fited, lay  in  wait  for  his  victim,  and  shot  him  twice, 
aiming  deliberately  at  his  heart  with  the  intention 
of  killing  him. 

The  following  Is  an  extract  from  a  letter  from  one 
of  the  first  citizens  of  Austin,  Texas,  to  a  friend  of 
Marshal  Purnell  in  thi-i  City : 

Austin,  Texas,  Aug.  10.  1877. 

Major  Purnell  was  going  quietly  along  the  street 
attending  to  his  business  this  afternoon,  when  Britton 
accosted  hlra  and  shot  him  twice,  while  the  Major 
was  unarmed.  The  whole  city  seem  ready  as  one 
man  to  go  to  the  jail,  take  out  the  assassin  and  hang 
him  to  a  lamp-post,  and  I  say  amen !  The  entire 
city  are  iu  the  deepest  symnathy  with 
Major  Purnell,  and  they  are  now  hurriedly  and 
constantly  riding  to  his  residence  by  the  hundred  to 
learn  his  condition  and  tender  their  sympathy.  He 
has  the  best  surgical  attention  in  Atistin.  I  have 
just  had  an  interview  with  one  of  them,  and  I  am 
glad  to  inform  vou  that  neither  of  his  wounds  is 
dangerous.  Both  balls  have  been  found— one  passed 
through  the  left  arm,  near  the  shoulder  joint,  and 
the  other,  pa&slng  around  the  fifth  rib,  was  cut  out 
of  the  back.    He  is  now  quite  comfortable.  *    *

THE  NORTH- WESTERN  AMATEURS  AT  "WOEK— 
SCULLING     ON     THE     DETROIT  RIVKa— A 
STUBBORN  CONTEST  BETWEEN  THE  EMER- 
ALDS AND  SaOWAECAEMETTES, 
Special  Di^MUA  to  the  Keto-Tork  Times. 

DsTBorr,  Mich.,  Aug.  17.— This  has  been  the 
finest  day  of  the  regatta  week,  behig  technically  tiie 
first  day  of  the  ninth  wnnn^^  regatta  of  the  Horth- 
westem  Amateur  Bowing  Araodation.  Tbe  weather 
has  been  superb,  the  water  absolutdy  smooth,  the 
crowd  larger  by  several  thousands  than  on  any 
previous  day,  and  the  carrying  out  of  the  programme 
prompt  and  thoroughly  satisfactory.  Henry  W.  Gar- 
field, Secretary  of  the  National  Association,  acted  as 
tunpire.  The  first  race  was  for  junior  double  bouUs, 
one  mile  up  stream  and  return,  crews  from  two  Mon- 
roe clubs,  Floral  CSty  and  Showaecaemettea,  compet- 
ing. The  race  was  a  close  one  throughout,  both  clubs 
steering  somewhat  wildly,  and  turning  the  upper 
stake-boat  at  about  the  same  time.  But  down  the 
home  stretch  the  Floral  City  crew  managed  to  aecore 
a  length's  lead,  and  won  by  that  distance  in  1 6m.  SOs. 
The  senior  single-scnll  race  followed,  open  to  all,  one 
mUe  up  stream  and  return,  Frank  Yates,  of  Grand 
Haven;  "W.  F.  Sandway,  of  Rochester,  and  J.  M. 
O'Donnell^  of  New-Orleans,  starting.  Tates,  who 
had  pulled  out  of  every  preceding  race  during  week, 
after  figuring  in  the  pools  as  favorite,  came  to  the 
front  in  this,  polled  in  his  old  style,  aud  proved  an 
easy  winner  in  14m.  37s.  The  race  between  the 
other  two  was  close,  and  the  New-Orleans  man  came 
in  ahead  by  10  seconds,  but  was  put  last  by  the  tmi- 
plre  for  having  turned  the  wrong  stake-boat. 

The  senior  four-oared  race  was  then  called,  the 
competitors  being  the  Emerald  crew,  of  Saginaw, 
which  won  the  mile  and  a  half  straight-way  *^am- 
pionslilp  in  the  Katloual  Association  on  Wednesday, 
in  the  unsurpassed  time  of  7m.  SOs.,  and  the  Sho- 
waeraemette  crew,  of  Monroe,  which  were  victors  in 
yesterday's  tliree-mile  race  over  six  competitors,  iu 
18m.  408.,  the  Emerald  crew  four  seconds 
later.  The  Monroe  crew  are  French  water- 
men, accustomed  to  daily  boating,  and 
trained  to  pull  a  stroke  of  almost  incredible  quick- 
ness. This  race  was  magnlfieent  throughout.  Down 
the  course  the  Emeralds  held  to  a  steady,  long  stroke 
of  about  36.  the  Monroe  men  averaging  40,  and  the 
turn  was  slightly  to  the  advantage  of  tlie  former 
crew.  But  all  the  way  home  the  Frenchmen  pulled 
their  jerky  stroke  at  the  rate  of  about  48  to  the 
minute  with  telling  efiPect,  It  was  amazing  to  see 
the  velocity  of  their  oars  and  the  strength 
with  which  they  managed  to  put  into 
such  quick  action.  Tho  Emeralds  did  not 
relax  the  powerful  rowing  which  has  made  their  crew 
repeated  victors  in  North-western  boating,  but  the 
endurance  of  the  Showaecaemettea  told  in  the  end, 
and  opposite  the  grand  stand  they  managed  to  give 
tho  Emeralds  their  water,  aud  won  by  two  lengths  in 
IHm.  37I2S.  amid  tremendous  cheering.  This  was 
altogether  the  finest  contest  of  the  week,  and  the 
phenomenal  rowing  of  tlie  winners  aroused  the  most 
demonstrative  enthusiasm  of  the  spectators. 

The  sport  of  the  day  clo.sed  with  another  capital 
race  over  the  same  course  for  the  junior  slx-oared 
ehampionship.  The  crews  competing  were  the  Ex- 
celsior and  Zephyr  Olubs,  of  Detroit,  and  the  t'n- 
dines.  of  Toledo.  The  Excelsiors  fell  to  the  rear 
steadily,  and  were  a  poor  third,  but  the  race  between 
tho  other  two  was  stnbbomand  close  throughout  and 
hotlv  contested.  At  the  finish  both  crews  spurted  for 
1,0()0  feet,  amid  great  encouragement,  the  Zephyrs 
finally  winning  hy  a  length  in  lom.  34.s.  The  crowd 
then  dispersed,  the  day's  programme  having  been 
completed  on  time  and  without  a  mistake.

The  fifth  annual  regatta  of  the  Palisade  Boat 
Club,  of  Yonkers,  came  o£f  yesterday  afternoon  ou 
the  Hndsou  Eiver  opposite  that  city,  and  was  wit- 
ne«sed  by  a  large  number  of  the  friends  of  the  asso- 
ciation, from  the  decks  of  the  steamer  Fort  Lee, 
which  followed  In  the  wake  of  the  contestants  ia  the 
different  races.  There  were  present  representatives 
from  the  Dauntless,  Highland,  Cohoea,  Resolute,  and 
Vesper  Rowing  Clobs.  The  course  was  from  Schief- 
flin's  Dock  at  Yonkers,  to  a  point  opposite  Glenwood, 
a  distance  of  two  miles.  The  referee  was  Mr.  John 
W.  Oliver,  and  the  judges,  Victor  G.  Audobon.  a  son 
of  the  celebrated  ornithologist,  and  William  Mc-

keepers were  M.  Freeborn  and  J.  Marion  Pollock,  of 
the  Knickerbocker  Athlotlc  Club.  There  were  six 
events  on  the  programme,  but  two  of  them — the  senior 
and  Junior  itingle  scolls  had  to  be  omitted  in  con- 
sequence  of  tho  roughness  of  the  water,  which  ren- 
dered  it  alt<^ther  unfit  for  shell  rafing.  The,tide  was 
nmning  up,  and  all  of  the  races  were  ctmsegnently 
started  from  the  lower  end  of  the  course.  Tne  first 
race  was  fur  doid'le  sculls  in  workhig  boats,  open  to

F.  Post,  Jere  Clark  and  Albert  Post,  and  D.  Fisher 
and  C.  Kidcr.  Clark  and  A,  Post  were  dif.tance<l

Fishor  and  Rider  won  in  l.'lin.  ^l^gR..  beating  Alli- 
son and  P.  Post  a  few  lengths.  Then  followed  a 
one  mile  race  between  the  eight  oared  barges  Reso- 
lut«  and  Palisade.  Tho  crew  of  the  former  was  as 
follows  :  F.  W.  Rltter.  Jkjw  ;  H.  W.  WilliamK.  J.  A.

aflvantage  the  former  croKSed  the  finishing  line  three 
lengths  ahead,  its  time  being  5m.  9^23.  That  of

the  latter  about  aix  lengths.  The  regatta  was  con- 
cluded with  a  race  of  two  miles,  for  four-oared  shells, 
which  proved  the  most  Interesting  event  of  the  day, 
and  which  was  a  most  remarkable  contest.  The  fol-

The  start  was  a  very  even  one,  but  before  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile  had  been  pulled  the  H.  T.  Keyser 
was  outdistanced,  and  tbe  contest  remained  between 
the  other  two  boats.  During  the  remainder  of  the 
race  the  Cncle  Ben  led  at  time**  from  a  quarter  to  a 
half  a  length,  but  a  few  yards  from  the  finish  the  W.

BASE-HALL. 

A  GAME  BETWEEN  THE  RED  BTOCKrKGS  OF 
CINCINNATI  AND  THE  HARTF0RD8  OP 
BROOKLYN — DEFEAT   OP  THE  VISITORS. 

The  Cincinnati  Red  Stockings  were  over- 
whelmingly defeated  by  the  Brooklyn-Hartford  Club, 
in  a  game  played  on  the  Union  Grounds,  yesterday 
afternoon.  It  was  their  first  appearance  in  this 
vicinity  this  season,  and  judging  from  the  easy  man- 
ner iu  whloh  they  were  beaten,  and  their  loose  style 
of  fielding,  they  created  anything  but  a  favorable  im- 
pression. They  are  very  weak  in  the  in-field,  espe- 
cially at  short  stop  and  second  base  ;  the  errors  made 
by  tho  players  who  filled  these  positions  yesterday 
gave  the  Hartford  players  7  runs  out  of  the  12  scored 
by  them.  They  were  also  without  the  services  of 
their  regular  catcher,  Hastings,  wlio  was  injured  in 
a  game  played  at  Cincinnati  recently.  Play  opened 
at  4  P.  M.,  with  the  home  club  at  the  bat,  ftrom  which 
they  wore  retired  without  scoring,  although  Start 
and  Carey  were  each  given  bases  by  errors  of  Mey- 
erle  and  Foley.  The  Cincinnatis  fared  no  better  ; 
their  three  batsmen  being  retired  in  the  order  of 
striking.  York  opened  the  second  Inidng  for  the 
Hartfords  with  a  pretty  base  hit  to  centre  field,  and 
as  the  next  three  batsmen  were  given  bases  by  errors 
of  Jones,  Booth,  Meyerle,  and  Smith,  three  runs 
were  scored  before  the  side  was  disposed  of.  This 
gave  the  Hartfords  a  good  lead,  which  they  continued 
to  improve  throughout  the  remainder  of  the  game. 
The  Cincinnati  nlayers  were  unable  to  get  the 
^*  hang  "  of  Larldn's  delivery  until  the  sixth  inning, 
when  they  punished  him  for  two  earned  runs,  Pike 
and  Jones  each  making  a  splended  hit  for  three 
bases.  After  that  inning,  however,  they  failed  to 
hit  him  with  anv  effect,  and  no  runs  were  scored  by 
them.  These  niaes  meet  again  to-morrow,  when  the 
viritors  will  be  stren^hened  by  the  presence  of  their 
r^ular  catcher.    FoUowiug  Is  the  score  of  the  game :

EXTRA  day's  SPORT — THE  BETTING. 
BSasatoga,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  17. — The  axmotmce- 
ment  of  a  series  of  extra  races  is  In  Itself  iadicatlve 
of  a  sticcessfnl  racing  season  here.  The  starting  has 
been  the  only  sotirce  of  complaint  which  has  at  all 
disturbed  the  equanimity  of  the  public  The  -  duties 
of  starter,  however,  have  been  intrusted  to  Mr.  D.  3. 
Crouse,  of  ChUlicothe,  Ohio,  in  place  of  Mr.  Pur- 
year,  and  his  efforts  yesterday  were  so  suc- 
cessful that  there  is  strong  hope  of  a  bet- 
ter state  of  affairs  iu  the  future.  From 
a  conversation  had  with  Mr.  Crouse  this 
morning  your  correspondent  is  satisfied  tbat  he 
thorotigfaly  appreciates  the  requirements  of  the  x>03l- 
tion,  and  everybody  appears  to  have  confidence  in 
his  Impartiality.  No  reasonable  person  expects  a 
first-class  start  every  time,  but  a  continual  series  of 
blupjders  la  inexcosable  and  will  not  bo  tolerated. 
The  programme  for  to-morrow,  the  fourth  day  of  the 
regmar  meeting,  is  an  exceedingly  interesting  one. 
The  first  race  Is  a  sweepstakes  for  all  ages,  $15  en- 
trance, play  or  pay.  with  $300  added;  the  second 
horse  to  receive  $100  out  of  the  stakes.  There  are 
allowances  to  nmidens,  and  the  distance  is  three-quar- 
ters of  a  mile.  Seven  have  been  entered  for  this,  as 
follows :  Virginius,  llSpounds;  BanK.,  lOSpotmds; 
Airicau  Maid,  110  potmds;  Rhadamanthus,  122 
pounds;  BertrazB,  118  pounds;  Bradamante,  103 
pounds,  and  the  Glen  Athol  filly  of  McDaniel,  103 
pounds.  The  second  event  will  be  a  dash  of  a  mile  and 
an  eighth,  for  3-year  olds,  to  carry  105  pounds,  with 
allowances  to  mares  and  geldings,  for  a  purse  of 
$500,  the  entries  for  which  are  Dan  K.,  Bradamante, 
Oriole,  and  Major  Barker ;  and  this  is  to  be  followed 
by  a  free  handicap  sweepstakes  of  $25  each  if  not 
declared  out,  with  $600  added  ;  tbe  second  horse  to 
receive  $200  out  of  the  stakes;  two  miles.  Six

cock's Glasgow,  104  pounds ;  L.  Hart's  Clem- 
mie  Q.,  104  potmds,  and  Clabangh's  Cloverbrook. 
04  pounds.  These  weights  ought  to  make  a  very 
close  contest  between  the  horses  mentioned.  The 
concluding  affair  will  be  a  selling  race  of  a  mile  and  a 
quarter,  with  the  usual  allowances  :  and  Rappahan-

The  sweepstakes  for  2-year  olds,  $-50  entrance 
fee,  play  or  pay,  with  $400  added,  three-quarters  of 
a  mile,  to  be  run  on  next  Monday  week,  has  three 
nominations — Mr.  Astor'a  Pride  of  the  Village.  Pierre 
Ldrillard's  Pique,  and  Johnson  &  Co. 's  Bramble. 
Thh  race  was  the  result  of  the  controversy  which 
ensued  after  Pride  of  the  Village  won  the  Kentucky 
Stakes,  the  Bramble  party  wlsldng  that  colt  to  lurain 
take  the  measure  of  Mr.  Astor'a  majpiificent  filly. 
The  3-vear-old  stake,  with  the  same  conditions,  did 
not  fill,  there  being  but  one  entry.  That  vicious 
beast  Bencher  lias  been  ruled  off  the 
to\\n&  for  his  outrageous  conduct  on  sev- 
eral occasions,  particularly  in  the  hurdle  race 
yesterday.  This  action  of  the  association  has  caused 
much  merriment  at  the  expense  of  Dr.  Caltawach, 
owner  of  the  horse.  It  Is  the  first  time  iu  the  his- 
toiy  of  the  turf  that  a  horse  has  been  ruled  off  for 
bad  behavior.  However,  it  became  necessary  for  the 
association  to  take  this  action  In  order  to  save  hu- 
man life,  as  Bencher  is  entirely  worthless,  and  has 
more  than  once  come  very  near  killing  his  rider  and 
attendants.  The  ladies  'will  miss  his  vicious  pres- 
ence, as  he  always  created  a  sensation.  There  was  a 
large  attendance  of  .speculators  at  the  track  this  after- 
noon to  buy  pools  on  to-morrow's  events,  the  entries 
realizing  the  following  figures :

ARREST  OF  AN  OLD  SWiyDLER 
OflBcer  Feasaro,  of  the  Fifteenth  Precinct, 
succeeded  last  night  in  arresting  a  notoriotu  swind- 
ler. The  prisoner's  name  is  Andrew  Bressant,  aud 
he  was  found  at  No.  9  Varick-place.  When  Fes&axo 
knotted  «t  Bressant's  room,  he  was  refused 
admittance,  and  when  the  ofScer  broke  in 
the  door  a  scuiBe  ensued.  Bat  the 
swindler  was  -worsted  and  taken  into  custody.  Two 
years  ago  Bressant  succeeded  in  robbing  a  French- 
man in  this  Cily  of  $7,000  hy  getting  h^m  to  hold  his 
valise  as  security  for  the  loan  of  the  money  for  a 
little  while,  it  being  represented  to  be  full  of  gold  and 

bonds,  but  .  really  being  filled  with  lead 
pine.  On  j  the  4ui  of  last  May  Bressant, 
with  the  assistance  of  a  confederate,  also 
swindled  a  Dalmatian  named  Nlcolai  Maccoi,  out  of 
$4,930  in  a  sirailar  manner.  Haccoi  had  just  ar- 
rived from  Oregcm  with  the  money,  and  on  the 
way  he  fell  in  with  Bressant  and  two 
other  sharpers,  who  got  into  hix  confidence 
and  secured  the  money  in  the  City  in 
Washington  Parade  Grounds  soon  after  his  arrival, 
Bressant  was  arrested  on  the  25th  of  June,  by  De- 
tective Dnnn,  but  as  Maccol  had  left  tbe  City  before

of  Mr.  Shepard  Homans  to  visit  Gould  Island

Fbidat,  Aug.  17— P.  M. 

Tile  transactions  on  tho  Stock  Ezctiange 
to-d&y  were  agalu  characterized  by  activity  and 
excitement,  and  the  fluctuations  in  prices  were 
wide  and  frequent.  The  market  opened  flrm  at 
an  advance  of  ig  to  i.j  ^?  cent,  from  the  closing 
quotations  of  j-esterday,  and  under  active  pur- 
chases the  entire  list  quickly  recorded  an  im- 
provement, ranging  from  I4  to  1  *>  cent.  The 
advance  was  partially  lost  before  the  Urst 
call,  but  subsequently  a  buoyant  feel- 
ing prevailed,  and  prices  rose  steadily 
until  about  midday.  The  stocks  most  cou- 
SDicuous  in  the  upward  movement  were 
Morris  and  Essex,  Delaware,  Lackawanna 
and  Western,  Lake  Shore,  Western  Union,  New- 
York  Central,  and  Rock  Island.  About  noon 
the  buying  movement  halted,  and  a  decline  of 
^t  to  I2  ^  cent,  took  place.  The  market  con- 
tinued irregular  until  after  the  second  call, 
when,  under  an  active  demand,  Delaware, 
Lackawanna  and  Western  rose  to  -19,  an  advance 
of  31^-^  cent,  for  the  day,  the  balance  of  the 
list  being  strong  in  (^mpathy.  The  sharp  up- 
ward movement,  however,  since  Tuesday  last, 
reaching  5  to  8  ¥'  cent,  in  some  stocks,  offered 
such  inviting  profits  to  the  bulls  that  the  dispo- 
sition to  realize  was  developed,  and  the  market 
yielded  ^  to  233  ^  cent.  The  sudden  change

The  GoxDimttee  on  Befonu,  appointed  by  the 
£«pnUieaa  Centnl  Oonunittee  under  xeaolatlon  of 
Jan.  16,  1877.  met  In  Bepnblleaa  Hall  lut  evening 
to  listen  to  snggeetions  toward  fadlltatisg  the  por- 
Udpatioii  of  all  KepnbUcana  in  primary  elections, 
and  to  the  expression  of  gzleTaneea  In 
the  management  of  BepabUcan  assodationa. 
There  was  a  good  attendance  of  out- 
aiders,  bnt^f as  it  afterward  turned  out,  it 
was  exclnalTely  eonposed^of  dissatisfied  members  of 
the  Fifteenth  Biatrict  Association.  Hr.  0«oi^  BUss, 
Chairman,  presided.  He  read  the  call  for  the  meet- 
ing and  aaked  for  snfgestiona  nnder  the  first  part  of 
the  resolution,  whose  bearing  he  decided  to  be  to 
provide  for  amendments  to  the  constitution  and 
bj-laws  of  the  General  -  Conmiitte«  or  of 
the  district  organlxatioits.  '  Kone  were  offered. 
The  second  part  of  the  zcsolntion  was  then 
taken  no.  Mr.  Blim  said  thJitt  the  object  of 
the  resolution  was  not  so  much  to  remedy 
indlTidnal  abuses  under  the  present  form  of  organ- 
ization, as,  by  caning  attention  to  them,  to  make  a 
change  of  organization.  The  next  honr  was  mainly 
occupied  in  listening  to  charges  and  reiterations  of 
charges  against  Mr.  Henry  G.  Leask's  method  of  con- 
ducting the  Fifteenth  Dtetrict  Association.  He  was 
accn&od  of  strildxie  names  froza  the  roll  without  au- 
thority, and  a  formidable  list  was  handed  in,  and  it 
was  asserted  that  he  never  accounted  for 
moneys  received  by  him  for  assessments 
for  political  purposes.  The  malcontents  were 
det«TTniiied  to  vratUate  themselves,  and  the  ChiUr- 
mon  bad  all  h&  could  do  to  keep  them  within  the 
rules.  One  gentleman,  Mr.  Montgomery,  said  that 
the  members  had  not  been  able  to  see  the  roll  for 
years.  They  appotiztod  a  committee  to  wait  on  the 
IVesident,  but  he  refused  to  let  them  see  it.  Mr. 
Bliss  said  that  the  Secretary  -wms  the  nroper  person 
to  apply  to.  The-same  gentleman  spoke  of  the  diffi- 
culty that' exist ed'in  choosing  inspeetors  for  the  an- 
nual election,  aud'.aslced  the  committee  to  send  three 
inspectors  to  the  district.  Mr.  Bliss  answered 
that  they  would  have  as  much  right  to 
send  Tilden  to  Washington  as  President.  Mr. 
Robert  Miller  said  that  Mr.  Leask  had  arbitrarily  ad- 
joomed  a  meeting  because  something  was  said  that 
displeased  him.  He  asked  Mr^  Bliss  whether  that 
was  right.  Mr.  BUss  answered  pleasantly  that  he 
vras  not  there  to  be  -catechised.  Mr.  Miller  went  on 
to  charts  that  the  xtAl  had  not  been  posted  In  the 
association  room  at '  either  primary,  and  that  only 
one  day's  notice  bad  been  given  of  the  laf^t 
primary.  He  said  that  thery  had  eome  to  the 
rommittee  because  they  could  obtain  no  remedy  In 
the  association.  Mr.  BUss  said  they  had  a 
rigbt  to  appeal  to  the  Ceutial  Association,  where  a 
remedy  would  doubtless  be  found.  Mr.  Miller  said 
they  had  given  a  protest  to  the  President  for  trans- 
mission to  the  Central  Association,  but  they  were 
afraid  It  would  not  be  sent.  Mr.  Bliss  explained 
that  they  were  at  liberty  tosend  it  direct.  Mr. 
Abram  Lent  at  length  arose  to  inquire  whether 
the  committee  proposed  to  investigate  the  abuses 
of  every  district  association.  If  so,  they 
would  not  get  through  in  two  years, 
Mr.  Bliss  answered  that  in  an  Informal  conver- 
sation the  conmiittee  had  agreed  to  hear  aD  state- 
ments of  grievances,  and  then,  having  formed  an 
opinion  as  to  how  long  it  would  take  to  InTcrtigate 
them  severally,  to  decide  whether  to  take  action  or 
refer  the  matter  to  s»b-comnilttees.  This  committee 
iroposed  to  look  only  Into  such  evils  as  could  not 

remedied  by  the  General  Committee. 

Mr.  Canfleld,  present  Acting  President  of  the  Fif- 
teenth District  ARsocistion,  here  stepped  forward 
and  said  that  he  had  examined  the  roll  of  the  aaHOcla- 
tiou.  and  had  found  on  It  many  of  the  names  which 
had  been  mentioned  as  having  been  stricken  off.  A 
Mr.  Hunter  said  If  that  were  true,  what  guarant«e 
existed  that  the  names  would  not  be  objected  to  as 
they  were  before  f  Mr.  Bliss  answered,  none  what- 
ever, but  added  that  thcwe  so  treated  hud 
an  nndoilbted  right  to  appeal  and  upset  su  election 
rained  by  any  such  tactics.  A  Mr.  McGlnley,  also 
from  the  Fifteenth,  gave  thefoUowing  as  his  experi- 
ence at  a  recent  primary  election  :  He  went  to  the 
polls  with  an  uppusltlon  ticket  In  his  hand,  and 
was  turned  away  on  the  groond  that  his 
name  was  not  on  the  roU.  Ha  got  a  Leask 
ticket,  and  returning,  his  name  was  readily  found  on 
thejfoll.  and  every  facility  was  accorded  him  to  vote. 
Instead  of  doing  so,  he  went  back  and  got  another 
opposition  ticket,  and  attempted  to  deposit  it,  but 
wa.*(  prevented,  this  time  because  he  was  "  too 
bHUcy."  William  H.  Corris  charged  that  whereas  he, 
a  meraher  of  the  association,  was  prevented  from 
voting  at  the  same  primaiy,  another  man,  not  a  mem- 
ber, who  voted  for  Tiloon  at  the  general  election 
■  from  Indiana  to  Oramercy  Park, "  was  allowed  to 
pote.  Mr.  Bliss  inquired  the  man's  name.  Mr. 
Corris  answered  that  It  wras  Robert  Hayes.  Mr. 
BlisR  thought  that  was  not  a^ood  name  to  vote  for 
Tilden. 

Mr.  Lent  said  that  many  Republicans  had  com- 
plained that  they  were  not  able  to  Join  district  or- 
ganizations, but  none  of  them  were  present  to  sub- 
stantiate their  statements.  >Ir.  Bliss  said  in  response 
that  some  time  ago  be  had  occasion  to  examine  into  a 
fcimilar  series  of  complaints.  During  the  previous 
year  73  RepublicAus  had  complained  that  they 
had  not  been  allowed  to  Join  district  organiza- 
tions. He  found  that  in  43  cases  the  grounds  of  re- 
fusal wore  good.  17  not  beine  natun^i^  citizen^ 
Not  one  of  the  lot  had  ever  taken  sufficient  Intere^ 
In  the  matter  to  appeal  to  the  Central  Committee. 
He  also  found  that  the  rolls  of  the  I>istrict  Associa- 
tions contained  between  13.0O0and  14.0O0nam«s, 
a  larger  shorwing  than  In  any  other  locality  in  the 
State.  That  the  names  were  those  of  men  who  took 
an  interest  in  the  organizations  was  shown  by  the  fact 
that  although  there  was  no  contest  6.200  votes  were 
cast  for  delegsctes  to  the  Sta*e  Committee  that  vear. 
Of  the  14,000  over  4,000  had  Joined  during  the  year. 
and  of  the  14,000  but  949  were  office-holders  under 
the  State,  City,  and  nation.  Mr.  Bliss  said  he  men- 
tioned these  facts  to  show  that  the  complaints  that 
were  made  were  largely  without  fotmdation.  In  his 
own  district,  he  wroto  pre^ous  to  last  election  to  a 
gentleman  who  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  If  not 
the  most  prominent  of  the  dissatisfied  Republicans, 
offering.  If  he  intended  to  vote  for  GJov,  Hayes,  to 
propose  him  and  have  hhn^  elect«d  a  member 
Df  tne  district  organization  ;  Also  to  guarantee  the 
flection  of  any  of  his  friends  who  would  make  simi- 
tar promises.'  The  letter  remained  unanswered  for 
ilx  weeks  until  a  mutual  friend  stiggest«d  that  It 
would  be  a  good  thing  In  order  to  hesTdlssenslons  to 
nominate  the  gentleman  named  for  Assembly.  Then 
the  latter  said  he  had  been  taking  time  to  consult  his 
f  riend.<i.  But  that  was  the  last  of  It.  This,  said  Mr. 
Bli.vt  in  conclusion,  shows  the  sincerity  of  some  of 
the  complaints  in  question. 

There  being  no  more  grievances  the  committee 
vent  into  executive  session.  On  motion  of  Mr. 
bi^nt  the  Chairman  was  authorized  to  address  those 
9Flinm  he  might  supjKiBe  to  have  grievances  and  urge 
th£m  to  send  lu  statements  in  writing  at  the  next 
met^tinK-  The  committee  then  adjourned  subject  to 
thfr  call  of  the  chair-

On-the  let  of  August  Mr.  W.  H.  Vanderbilt, 
V*residant  of  the  New- York  Central  and  Hudson 
River  IVdlroad  Company,  addressed  a  letter  to  the 
employes-of  his  company  In  which  he  directed  that 
$100,000  be  paid  to  them  as  a  recognition  of  their 
loyalty  and -faithfulness  during  the  strike,  which  af- 
fected almost  every  other  road  in  the  country.  The 
amount  was  to  be  divided  ratably,  according  to  their 
position  on  the  j>By-roll,  among  all  the  efiployes,  ex- 
cepting executive  and  departmental  offio^^s,  and  such 
as  were  not  directly  engaged  In  operating  the  road. 
The  apportionment  Of  this  sum  was  placed  In 
the  hands  of  'Mzi  Isaac  P.  Chambers,  the 
General  Auditor.  He  has  completed  It,  and 
nays  that  out  of  the  U.OOO  men  8,904  will  partici- 
pate in  the  gift.  The  division  as  made  by  him  gives 
the  pasKenger  conductors  each  $20  ;  train  ba^age- 
men.  $10 ;  brakemen,  $9  :  freight  conductors,  $15  ; 
engineers,  $30:  firemen,  $15;  flagmen,  $8;  switch- 
men, $9;  laborers- and  watchmen,  $7;  mechanics, 
$14;  foremen,  $16;  track  foremen,  $11;  all  others, 
$9.  Tills  is  just  about  equivalent  to  three  months 
reduction  of  the  10  per  cent.      -^ 

TSE  FIFTH  REGIMENT  ARMORY. 
Paring  the  week  In  which  the  sereral  regi- 
ments in  the  National  Ghxard  were  nnder  arms,  the 
aiUtary  authorities  were  afforded  a  good  opportu- 
nity to  test  the  advantages  or  disadvantages  pos- 
leesed  by  the  armories  occupied  by  the  larger  regi- 
ments. Among  the  armories  wMch  possessed  disad- 
vantages outnumbering  ita  advantages  at  the  rate  of 
two  to  one  was  that  oecupied  by  the  fifth  Regi- 
tnent.  The  building  is  situated  In  West  Twenty- 
third'Streert.  Ita  location  Is  delightful.  It  is 
cummnded  bv  tall  aihuithus  trees,  which  shade  the 
front  and  relieve  the  sombreness  of  the  building 
itself.  But  the  building  was  never  designed  for  an 
armory,  it  having  been  a  church  up  to  a  few  years 
ago.  The  old  stained-glass  windows  which  did  duty 
tX  ibst  time  still  adorn  the  edifice,  but  are  too  opaque 
to  admit  the  amount  of  light  necessary  for  health  and 
comfort.  The  present  armory  occupies  the  np- 
portion     of     the"    building,    a     floor     having

eoumanles  to  drill  in*  and  totally  inadequate  to  the 
Vsesof  ax^^ent-  Dnxuut  the  week  the  men  were 
jcider  anna  they  were  budidOed  together  like  cattle.

THE  GE0UND8. 
The  character  of  the  services  at  the  Sing  Sing 
eamp-meeting  yesterday  did  not  materially  differ 
from  those  of  the  preceding  tiiree  days.  CEm  an- 
nouncement that  Mrs.  Van  Cott  would  conduct  the 
services  of  the  day  had  the  effect  of  attractingthitber 
an  unusual  number  of  visitors,  who  went 
to  the  Lioi3n^  in  »U  kinds  of  conveyances, 
from  the  handsome  family  carriage  to  the  uncouth 
and  infinitely  less  comfortable  country  wagon.  Mrs. 
Van  Cott  did  not  attend,  however,  behig  unavoidably 
deteined  In  this  City  by  illness  contracted  while  con- 
ducting revival  meetings  at  Pitman  Grove,  N.  J. 
A  tel^ram  to  that  effect  was  received  from  her 
In  the  forenoon,  and  was  read  by  Rev.  Hr,  Moor- 
house  at  the  preaching  service.  Her  absence,  al- 
though unquestionably  a  disappointment  to  a  portion 
of  the  assemblage  on  the  grouuds,  did  not  to 
any  perceptible  degree  dampen  the  enthusiasm  and 
religious  fervor  of  the  occupants  of  the  tent.  The 
exercises  were  conducted  oy  Rev.  Dr.  Porter,  of 
BrooMyn,  assisted  by  Rev.  Mr.  Moorhoii."»e,  one  of 
the  most  assidnous  workers  on  the  grounds.  At  the 
moroing  meeting,  which  'was  opened  at  8  o'clock 
Rev.  Mr.  Maclaln,  of  Sing  Sing,  preaohed,  selecting 
as  his  text  Romans  xll.,  1,  "  I  besoech  you,  there- 
fore, brethren,  by  the  mercies  of  God  that  ye 
present  your  bodies  a  living  sacriflce."  At  1  o'clock 
the  children  were  gathered  t<^ther  In  one 
of  the  large  public  tents,  where  a  service  of  song  was 
held  under  tne  superintendence  of  Miss  Sarah  Aston, 
of  ParkviUe,  Liong  Island,  and  Miss  Duncan,  of  New- 
Tork.  Addresses  appropriate  to  the  occasion  were 
delivered  by  Rev.  Mr.  Davies,  the  evangelist.  Rev. 
Mr.  Aaton,  Miss  Aston,  and  Mrs.  Moore.  Mean- 
while other  meetings  were  held  in  tents  throughout 
the  grounds,  and  repenttmt  groups  kneeling  around 
the  moumere'  benches  were  prayed  for  with 
extraordinary  fervency.  Later  in  the  after- 
noon the  entire  congregation  assembled  in 
that  part  <if  the  RTove  directly  fronting 
the  cottage  sot  apart  tor  the  oSftclating  ministers,  to 
listen  to  a  sermon  preached  by  Rev.  Henn'  Aston,  of 
ParkviUe,  Long  IslantL  who  selected  as  his  theme, 
"Be  Ready."  and  in  the  course  of  his  remarks  im- 
pressed upon.hla  hearers  the  necessity  of  being  ever 
ready  in  the  line  of  duty  toward  (^od  and  their  fel- 
low-creatures. At  the  conclti.'yon  of  his  discourse 
the  exercises  assumed  the  aspect  of  a  prinutlve 
Methodist  e^erience  and  prayer  meeting.  Sinners 
were  exhorted  to  approach  the  anxious  bench,  and 
no  fewerthan  20  persons  expressed  sincere  penitence. 
One  convert,  a  woman,  was  extremely  demonstrative 
in  her  declarations  of  repentence,  worlnns:  herself  into 
such  nn  ecstacy  that  ihe  was  finally  led  t-woonmg 
from  the  benca.  "While  Revonal  clerzymeu  alternate- 
ly prayed  and  exhorted,  others  remained  In  tho  ont- 
skfrt.'!  of  the  congregation  entreating  sinners  to  ap- 
proach and  bo  prayed  for. 

THE  OCEAN  GROVE  CAMP-MEETING. 
Bishop  Pe<rk,  of  California,  presided  at  the 
Holiness  meeting  at  Ocean  Grove  yesterday  morning. 
Brother  Martin,  the  well-known  Suaday-school 
worker  of  PliUadelphia,  made  an  earnest  appeal  to 
the  workers  in  God's  vineyard  to  remember  the 
spiritual  welfare.  Having  given  themselves  to  God, 
they  no  longer  belong  to  others,  and  .•ibould  realize 
the  obligations  they  have  assumed,  not  to  be  content 
with  their  own  salvation,  but  work  steadfastly  for 
the  saving  of  others.  At  10:30  A.  M.  an  Iraramse 
congregation  assembled  in  the  auditorium  to  hear  a 
sermon  by  Rev.  J.  Simmons,  of  Brooklyn,  N*  V., 
from  the  Second  Chmiiicles,  vii.,  1.  "Now  when 
fSoIomon  had  made  an  end  of  praying,  the  fire  came 
down  from  heaven  and  consumed  the  burnt  offer- 
ing and  the  sacriflre  :  and  the  glorv  of  the  lx>rd  filled 
thehouae."  He  told  of  the  building  of  the  Temple 
and  its  prayer  of  con  ^e<' rat  ion,  and  compared  it 
■with  the  living  temple  of  the  bmly.  Ho 
urged  that  it  be  not  defiled,  and  that 
the  moral  structure  be  raised  on  a  wall  of 
good  foundation,  so  that  when  its  ronserration  prayer 
was  ended  God  would  ac^'ept  the  offering  of  tho  souL 
.  At  2  o'clock  ill  the  afternoon  there  whs  a  rofpting  of 
the  chUdren.  which  was  Isr^ely  attended.  Mr*.  Kliz- 
abeth  Smith  led  an  experieure  meeting  of  crest 
Interest,  and  at  1J::J0  oVlock  Rev.  .1.  'Wacg 
prearhed  from  Matthew,  xi.,  1*J.  In  the  evening 
a  sermon  was  ileliverrd  by  Rev.  P.  J. 
Cox.  Bishop  Peck  will  prttbably  prearh  Pundav 
morntag.  The  infiux  of  visitors  from  the  neighbor- 
ing dties  and  watering  places  far  exceeds  In  uumbers 
that  of  previous  years,  and  every  one  who  comes 
seems  to  feel  the  hallowed  inrlueufes  that  sarround 
th«m  in  tuis  seaiiide  h<>me  of  Method!.<:m. 

THE  NEW^EKSEY  STJ£ZKEJiS  ON  TRIAL. 

The  evidence  in  th*»  case  of  the  Central  Rail- 
Toad  strikers  wa.*  conflnded  before  Vire  Chancellor 
Van  Fleet  yesterday.  Thomas  !«.  Titus.  ex-Mayor  of 
PhilUpsbnrg,  testified  that  he  knew  James  Schwartz ; 
witness  was  at  the  depot  on  tbe  rooming  of  July  2.5  ; 
saw  a  passenger  car  pushed^  to  a  side  track,  but 
did  not  see  Schwartz  pu.«hine  it,  nor  did  he  see  any 

of  the  men  no  trial  doing  .^io.  On  croa-vesamlnation 
witness  said  the  car  he  alluded  to  was  detached  from 
apsssenger  train  ;  at  the  time  Schwartz  stood  about 
2.1  feet  from  him.  (Tiarles  Xiion,  a  PhiUipsburg  po- 
liceman, on  duty  »t  the  depot  on  the 
26th  of  July,  testified  that  he  saw  a  car 
pushed  on  to  a  siding,  and  that  Schwartz 
had  no  baud  in  pushing  it  :  was  talking  to  Schwartz 
before  the  car  was  movtMi  :  Schwartz  could  scarcely 
have  assisted  in  movina  the  car  without  his  seeing 
him  :  heard  a  man  say  the  car  bhould  not  go  oat.  but 
he  was  not  one  of  the  defendants.  The  defense  then 
rested.  Mr.  .Schrump  summod  up  for  the  defense, 
reviewmg  the  evidence  briefly,  and  contending 
that  It  was  Insufficient  to  prove  that  Matthews 
or  Snyder  was  gnUty  of  contempt.  Scliwartz. 
he  saici,  was  tired  of  the'  strike  long  oefore  it  was 
over,  and  signeil  his  name  to  nn  agreement  to  go  to 
w(»rk.  He  afterward  earsed  his  name,  it  Is  true,  but 
it  was  under  threats  and  fears  of  personnl  violence. 
The  sii^niuK  of  that  Htrreemenl,  he  considered,  pumed 
Schwartz  of  his  contempt.  The  evidence  against 
Shine  was  that  he  merely  assisted  in  transferring 
passengers  from  one  car  t^>  another,  which  was  no 
interference  with  travel.  The  evidence  in  his  favor 
was  that  he  took  no  part  In  the  strike. 

AN  HONOR.A  BLE  FAIL  VRE. 
The  creditors  of  Thomas  &  Co..  woolen  deal- 
ers, who  failed  last  mouth,  held  a  privato  meeting  In 
the  office  of  J.  L.  Hill.  No.  20  Nassau-street,  yest/^r- 
day  afternoon.  A  statement  was  submitted  showing 
nominal  assets  of  ."^Tl, 000,  and  nominal  liabilities 
of  $491,000.  A  suggestion  was  made  that  the  Indi- 
vidual members  of  the  firm  be  discharged,  they  hav- 
ing given  up  everything  and  desi^fning  ^o  go  into 
business  again.  A'  paper  to  that  effect  was  drawn  up 
and  was  signed  bv  some  of  the  largest  creditors  of 
the  concern.  It  is  expected  that  all  will  sign  it. 
Some  were  not  present  and  others  were  representa- 
tives of  corporations  without  power  to  sign.  A  com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  Investigate  the  affairs  of  the 
firm,  and  also  of  tho  New-England  Manufacturing 
Company,  and  report  at  a  future  meeting.  Four- 
fifths  of  the  stock  of  the  New-England  Company  Is 
owned  by  Mr.  L.  W.  Thomas.  It  has  a-wets  of  $300,- 
000,  and  owes  but  one  other  creditor  besides  Mr. 
Thomas,  with  tbe  exception  of  a  mortgage  of  $25.. 
OOO.  It  is  thought  that  a  compromise  will  be  effeot- 
ed.  The  gentlemen  present  at  the  meeting  unani- 
monsly  agreed  that  they  never  knew  so  honorable  a 
failure. 

TBE  NEWARK  FIRE  DEPARTMENT. 
Charges  have  been  made  against  Chief  Bene- 
dict, of  the  Newark  Kre  Department,   in  relation  to 
a  recent  purchase  of  horses  for  tbe  department's 
use,  and  a  Committee  of  the  Common  Council,  ap- 

Sointed  to  investigate  the  matter,  met  yesterday  to 
ear  evidence.  The  horses  wei-e  purchasou  in 
Pennsylvania,  and  it  was  urged  that  better 
horses  could  have  been  bought  in  New- 
ark. Alderman  Holrwarth  testLfted  yesterday 
that  Chief  Benedict  had  insisted  that  a  man  named 
Meyer  should  buy  the  horses  on  commission,  and 
that  the  horses  so  purchased  were  short-winded  and 
unable  to  pull  an  engine  up  hill.  It  was  further  tes- 
tified that  there  was  no  proof  that  Chief  Benotlict 
had  been  paid  anything  by  Meyer  ;  but  it  was  said 
that  the  veterinary  surgeon  employed  by  the  chief  to 
examine  the  horses  was  only  a  "  jockey, "  and  unfit 
for  the  work.  In  favor  of  the  Chief  whs  the 
testimony  of  E.  B.  Leverich,  a  truck  maker  of  New- 
York,  who  said  that  he  had  been  employed  to  build 
a  truck  for  the  deportment,  and  that,  as  Mr.  Bene- 
dict bad  refused  to  accept  a  commission  from 
him,  he  had  expended  an  additional  $50  in  work  on 
the  truck.

8GAIJE  OP  PRICES  AI>OPTEI>— AN  APPKAL 
TO  THE  TAX-PATEB8  AND  PBOPEBTT- 
OWNEBS  OF  NEW-YOBK  CITT, 
The  oombinatioii  among  the  Hudson  Ooimty, 
K.  J.,  quarrymem  for  a  rise  in  the  price  of  the  blue- 
stone  paving-stone  blocks,  which  was  formally  argKa- 
ized  at  Weehawken  on  Tuesday  last,  stUl  continues,' 
and  the  action  of  the  previous  meeting  was  confirmed 
at  the  adjourned  meeting  held  at  Weehawken  yester- 
day afternoon  by  the  adoption  of  a  scale  of  prices,  and 
also  of  a  resolution  to  continue  the  comblnatIon,At 
least  until  Tuesday  next  The  meeting  was  more  largely 
attended  than  the  one  of  Tuesday  last,  there  being  be- 
tween 100  and  200  qnarrymen  present,  including 
delegates  from  West  Hoboken,  Hudson  City,  and 
elsewhere.  The  qnarrymen  of  Fort  Irfe  were  not 
represented,  but  a  note  was  read  from  them,  contidn* 
ing  a  pledge  on  their  part  to  abide  by  the  action  of 
the  meeting,  whatever  it  might  be.  The  spokesman 
for  the  West  Hoboken  delegation  stated  that  they 
would  also  abide  by  the  decision  of  the  meeting,  pro- 
vided the  other  qnarrymen  of  his  section  would 
do  BO. 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  fix  upon  a  scale  of 
prices  to  be  hereafter  charged  for  blocks,  and  after  a 
brief  consttltation  reported  the  following,  which  waa 
unanimously  adopted:  For  spedflcatlon  blocks,  8  by 
12  Inches,    $30  per  1,000.  at    the  quarries;   for 

corporation  blocks,  6  by  8  inchea,  and  ?or  square 
blocks.  $15  per  1.000,  at  the  ouarries.  The 
prices  paid  for  these  blocks  Is  now  $lo  and  $12  per 
1.000,  respectively.  A  long  wrangle  then  ensued 
upon  a  motion  to  continue  the  strike  until  Tuesday 
next  at  4  P.  M.  Much  feeling  was  manifested  and 
considerable  opposition  was  displayed  on  the  part  of 
sfew  men,  who  seemed  determined  to  stem  the  tide. 
A  division  of  the  house  was  finally  called  for,  and  the 
result  was  that  the  resolution  to  suspend  work  waa 
carried  by  a  very  decisive  vote,  four  only  voting  In 
the  negative. 

A  preamble  and  series  of  resolutions  were  intro- 
duced and  unanimously  adopted,  setting  forth  that 
the  strong  competition  among  contractors  for  street- 
paving  materials  had  reduced  the  prices  of  blue-stone 
paving  blocks,  within  the  past  five  years,  from  $3  .50 
to  $1  27  per  square  yard,  and  that  while  the  latter 
was  now  the  price  paid  for  the  fmits  of  their  labor, 
which  amotuits  to  about  $22  per  1.000.   t'le  City  Is 

taying  $65  i>er  1,000  for  granite  blocks  from  New- 
Inglaud,  which,  in  reality,  do  not  make  so  good  a 
pavement  as  the  Jersey  blocks,  and  calling 
upon  the  City  authorities  and  upon  the 
property-owners  and  tax-payers  of  this  City  to 
consider,  not  only  the  grievances  of  the  quarry- 
men,  but  their  own  Interests  as  well.  In  the  mat- 
ter. The  Chninnan  of  the  meeting,  in  brii^ing  the 
resolutions  before  the  body,  indorsed  them  in  a 
speech  in  which  he  said  that  he  was  sure  those  inter- 
ested in  the  paving  of  the  streets  of  New  York,  as 
t.ax-payers  and  property-owners,  were  not  aware  of 
the  actual  fact-;  in  the  case.  He  said  tnat  ne-arly  all 
the  trap-blork-makers  of  Hudson  County  were  resi- 
dents of  New-York  City,  and  that  they  were  unjust- 
ly treated  and  actually  starved  out  for  the  benefit-of 
New  Knjtland  capitalists,  and  that,  too,  to  the  detri- 
ment of  the  City's  beet  interest  In  the  matter  of 
street -paving. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  passed  to  the  blacksmiths 
for  closins;  their  shops  and  operatinK  with  the  qnar- 
rymen, and  the  meetlnjj  adjourned,  to  meet  oealn  at 
the  same  place  on  Tuesday  next,  at  2  P.  M.  It  may 
be  stated  that  the  authorities  of  the  Weehawken 
Ferry  Company,  who  own  the  quarries  and  receive 
$3  per  1.000  royalty  for  all  the  blocks  shipped 
acroM  the  river,  appear  to  be  in  sympathy  with  the 
quarrvmen.  and  willing  to  grant  them  every  facility 
for  obtaining  a  fair  remuneration  for  their  labor. 
Hence,  no  action  has  been  taken,  such  as  the  giving 
out  of  abandoned  quarries  and  the  forcible  opening 
of  blacksfnith-ahops.  as  was  threatened  would  be 
done  by  the  Supennt<>ndent  of  the  quarries  on  Tues- 
day last.  Several  loads  of  stone  were  hrotight 
acrosB  the  river  yesterday  by  Contractor  Kelly,  but 
tho  Weehawken  quarrvmen  state  that  they  were  pro- 
cured  somewhere  outside  their  jurisdiction,  and  that 
the  supply  was  prettv  nearly  esihausted. 


TFIF  EKCrLEWOOD  BURGLARY. 

MERRITT'S  EXAMINATION  SET  DOWN  FOR 
TrEKT>AT  NEXT — ALL  PARTIES  RETICENT. 
The  announcement  in  an  afternoon  paper  that 
Justice  Mackay,  of  Englewoofl,  N.  J.,  wb.s  to  proceed 
yesterday  afternoon  with  tile  examination  of  George 
Merritt,  who  is  held  on  stupiclon  of  complicity  in  the 
burglary  at  Mr.  Floyd's  house,  on  Sunday  morning 
last,  caused  several  newspaper  men  to  go  to  Engle- 
wood  in  the  hope  of  obtaining  fresh  developments  in 
regard  to  tho  mysteriotis  affair,  but  the  hope  was  not 
realized.  Pome  of  the  officers  of  the  Protective  Asso- 
ciation held  a  private  consnltation  while  awaiting 
the  retnm  of  Chief  Marshal  Jameson  from  New- 
York,  and  the  examination  waa  set  down  for  Tues- 
day. Although  the  door  of  the  court-room  had  been 
guarded  with  the  utmost  zeal,  President  Mackay  de- 
clared that  they  had  only  "been  buzztng."  Tho 
most  adroit  questioning  failed  to  elicit  any  informa- 
tion, although  the  Society  Is  evidently  in  possession 
of  evidence  which  has  not  been  made  public.  No 
amount  of  persuasion  will  Induce  Mr.  Mackay 
to  admit  a  reporter  to  the  presence  of  the  prisoner, 
not  even  in  the  hope  that  he  [tlie  reporter]  might  be 
recogni  ed  aa  one  of  the  btuglars.  Mr.  rloya  will 
give  no  clue  as  to  who  it  was  that  restored  his  prop- 
erty. He  is  fully  convinced  of  the  man's  sincerity. 
The  man  declared  to  Mr.  Floyd  that  he 
himself  had  never  committed  a  burglary. 
When  asked  what  would  be  done  If  the 
burglary  was  repeated  by  the  same  men,  the  man  re- 
plied, shaking  hi.i  fist.  "You  should  have  them,  V  I 
had  to  go  to  China  !"  A  few  articles  are  missing 
from  among  he  goods  returned,  hut  they  are  such  as 
in  Mr.  Floyd's  opinion  might  have  been  lost.  It  now 
appears  possible  that  the  man  whom  News  Agent 
<  Tiamberlain  met  near  Weehawken  Fernr  with 
Mr.  Flovd's  horse  and  buggy  -nrnj  have  been  Merritt. 
although  if  It  w.as  he  must  have  returned  speedily  to 
the  house  in  order  to  have  been  seen  by  tbe  cook 
when  she  slartwl  to  i^ve  the  alarm.  Chamberlain's 
description  of  the  man.  so  far  as  he  Is  able  to  give 
one.  an.«iwers  to  Merritt.  It  la  probable  that  the 
prisoner  will  be  represented  by  counsel  at  the  exam- 
mation.     His  father  has  been  sent  for. 


A  WOMAN  MURDERED  IN  HOBOKEN. 

About  2  o'clock  yesterday  morning  the  body 
of  Mrs.  Mary  Gckert  was  found  lying  in  an  alley- 
way adjoining  her  bouse,  on  Paterson,  near  Clin- 
ton-avenue, West  Hoboken.  She  was  uncon- 
scious, and  died  a  few  minutes  later.  She  had  evi- 
dently received  her  Injuries  by  falling  from  the  win- 
dows of  her  room  on  tho  third  floor  of  the  building, 
and  her  husband,  Henry,  a  German  silk  wearer, 
was  arrested  on  suspicion  of  having  thrown  her  out. 
Eckert  is  very  much  addicted  to  the  use  of  liquor, 
and  when  in  his  cups  his  violence  knows  no  bounds. 
He  has  frequently,  while  under  the  Influence  of  drink, 
beaten  his  wife,  and  she  has  more  than  once  been 
compelled  to  seek  Police  protection.  He  waa  re- 
leased only  a  few  days  ago  from  the  Coun- 
ty Jail,  where  he  had  served  a  term  for 
b'mtal  treatment  of  his  wife.  Thursday 
night  Eckert  took  a  number  of  friends  to  his 
house.  They  dunk  much,  and  at  midnight 
hw  started  to  accoi^pany  them  to  their  homes.  When 
he  returned  hw  neighbors  heard  him  quarreling  with 
his  wife.  Several  Heard  a  heavy  fall,  as  of  a  body  to 
the  floor,  and  one  of  the  witnesses  declares  that  he 
heard  Mrs.  Eckert  pleading  for  her  life.  A  few  min- 
utes later  Alexander  Stolz,  a  resident  of  tbe  next 
house,  heard  some  one  fall  Into  the  alley-way,  and,  on 
looking  out.  saw  the  body  of  Mrs.  Eckert  lying  on 
the  st-one  pavement.  In  ner  descent  her  head  liad 
struck  a  beam  stretched  across  the  alley-way,  cover- 
ing It  with  blood.  She  was  carried  Into  .the  house, 
but  died  before  recovering  consciousness.  When  the 
officers  went  in  to  arrest  Eckert  he  pretended  to  be 
asleep.    When  he  was  informed  that  she  was  dying  he 

said,  grufl3y.  "  Oh,  let  her  go  to !"   Coroner  Crane 

made  a  cursory  examination  yesterday.  He  found 
several  bruises  on  her  body,  as  though  made  with  a 
boot-heel.  Her  left  arm  was  broken  In  three  plaoes. 
and  there  was  a  ghastly  wound  on  her  head.  Soon 
after  Eckert  had  been  locked  up  in  the  town 
hall,  a  party  of  silk  weavers  gathered  about  and 
freely  announced  their  determinaUon  to  rescue  him. 
An  extra  force  of  constables  was  sworn  In  to  protect 
the  jail,  and  the  plan,  if  It  was  indeed  seriotisly  enter- 
tained, was  frustrated.  Eckert  was  afterward  re- 
moved to  the  County  Jail. 


A  PROPOSED  NEW  LIQUOR  LAW. 

The  bureau  of  the  Wine  and  Spirit  Traders* 
Society  has  sent  out  to  the  wine  and  liquor  dealers 
ofthlsCity  a  circular  and  a  list  of  qneitions,  on  the 
answers  to  which  they  propose,  after  consultation 
with  the  brewers  and  Excise  Commissioners,  to  base 
the  draft  of  a  bill  regulating  the  liquor  question, 
whose  passage  they  intend  to  press  in  the  next  Legis- 
lature. They  say  that  It  is  their  opinion  "that  the 
evil  of  intemperance  is  not  to  be  overcome  by  pro- 
hibitory enactments,"  and  they  say  that  "the  action 
of  Mr.  Hollender,  in  October  last.  In  causing  the 
arrest  of  the  Board  of  Excise  Conunlssloners,  having 
led  to  a  qnasl-enforc^ment  of  the  existing  antlqtiated 
and  absurd  Iilcen.se  law,  It  has  become  sufficiently 
evident  that  the  Legislature  of  this  State,  at  iti  next 
session,  should  be  urged  to  enact  a  law  whose  provi- 
sions shall  bear  some  proportion  to  the  ends  meant 
to  be  carried  out  by  it.  They  suggest  the  propriety 
of  calling  meetings  of  the  trade  in  each  Ward  of  the 
City  for  the  purpose  of  organizing  In  such  a  way  as 
to  make  sttre  of  l>elng  listened  to  when  they  go  to 
Albany  with  their  hill.  They  ask  that  at  each  ward 
meeting  a  committee  be  appointed  to  answer  the 
questions  propoimded,  and  forward  the  answers  to 
the  Secretuy  of  the  society. 

A  DOCTOR  IN  TROUBLE. 

The  love  of  strong  drink  haa  brought  an  ex- 
member  of  the  Brooklyn  Board  of  Health  to  the  crimi- 
nal dock  in  the  Williamsburg  Police  Court.  Dr.  Oeorge 
W.  HuU,  of  No.  103  Milton-street,  Oreenpoint,  was 
ordered  to  be  ^prehended  by  Justice  Elliott  yester- 
day.on  eomplaint  of  Mr.  William  Murray,  of  No.  180 


against  him :  "  Thunday  aftanioon  he,  the  Doctor, 
a»«at«d  m«  for  driving  a  aleklMne.  He  said  tiiat  he 
waa  an  offleer  of  the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of 
OraeKyto  Airiiaahi  Ontne  wayto  tiie  Oreenpoint

htm,  and  he  then  let  me  go.  Before  he  went  away 
from  me  he  threw  the  horse  down,  telling  me  that  I 
would  either  have  to  kill  him  or  have  him  removed 
within  an  honr.  To  escape  moT«  trouble  and  annoy- 
ance I  had  the  horse  shot."  Justice  Elliott  said,  on 
elving  the  warrant  for  the  arreat,  "That  man  will 
do  anything  to  obtain  liquor."  The  Doctor  waa  at 
one  time  considered  among  the  best  practitioners  in 
his  profession.  

A  SWIFT  CHASE  AFTER  A  BURGLAR. 

HE  IS  a;(BERTED  BT  SEROT.  HAMILTON— his 
ACCOMPLICE  SUBSBQUENTLY  CAPTURED, 
AND  BOTH  HELD  FOR  TRIAL. 

ThuiBday  afternoon  about  2  o'clock  there  was 
a  burglary  committed  at  No.  1,099  Fourth-avenue. 
Three  men  entered  the  apartments  of  Mr.  William 
McEmbler,  at  t'he  above  number,  during  his  absenoe, 
by  means  of  skeleton  keys,  and  stole  therefrom  an 
opera-glass  valued  at  $50  and  a  quantity  of  Jewelry, 
ornaments,  and  clothing  valued  at  $200.  They 
were  seen  goinz  In  by  a  Mr.  John  Meyer. 
He  did  not  suspect  anything  wrong  at  the 
time,  because  their  manner  denoted  that  they 
belonged  there.  But  when  he  saw  them  coming  out 
with  handles  concealed  under  their  clothes  he  made 
up  his  mind  that  they  had  committed  a  robbery,  and 
he  followed  them.  They  separated  on  the  way  over 
to  Third-avenue,  one  returning  without  any  of  the 
stolen  goods  and  the  other  two  going  to  Third-ave- 
nue, where  they  hailed  a  car  and  got  aboard.  Meyer 
followed  the  two  and  boarded  the  same  car.  When 
the  thieves  saw  iilm  in  the  car  they  arose  to  leave, 
and  Meyer  raised  the  alarm  and  requested  the  con- 
doctor  to  have  the  thieves  arrested.  Thereupon, 
they  jumped  off,  separated,  and  ran  away  in  differ- 
ent directions,  dropping  their  numerous  bun- 
dles along  their  routes.  The  cry  of  "  Stop 
thief!"  was  immediately  sent  along  with  great 
vigor  after  both  of  them,  and  the  streets  soon  became 
crowded  with  excited  people.  Sergt.  Hamilton,  of 
the  Twenty-ninth  Precinct,  happened  to  be  standing 
in  his  front  door  as  one  of  the  burglars, -followed  by 
a  crowd,  passed,  and  he  joined  in  the  rha.se  after 
him.  The  pursued,  being  fleet  of  foot,  and  the  Ser- 
geant, being  the  winner  of  many  Police  foot  races, 
the  crowd  was  soon  distanced,  and  ttie  question  of 
speed  lay  between  the  officer  and  the  burglar.  The 
latter  lea  the  way  across  Sixty- second-street  to  Lex- 
ington-avenue, down  to  Sixty-first-street,  across  that 
to  Fourth -avenue,  down  that  thoroughfare  to  Fifty- 
nlnth-street,  then  over  to  Lexington-avenue  again,  and 
down  to  Fifty-eighth-street,  across  that  to  near  Third- 
avenue.  By  this  time  the  Sereeant  had  gained  so 
much  on  his  man  that  the  thief  resorted  to  tactics. 
and  dodged  into  th^ ballway  of  a  tenement-house,  and 
run  up  stairs  all  the  way  to  tbe  roof,  closely  pursued 
bv  Hamilton,  who  waa  caining  ground  all  tlae  time. 
Just  as  the  man  reached  the  roof  the  officer  came 
upon  him,  when  he  made  a  plunge  down  the  scuttle 
of  the  adjoining  honae,  which  was  situated  near  by, 
Hamilton  caught  him  by  the  coat-tails  and  puUed  him 
back  with  such  force  that  l>oth  the  coat-skirts  broke 
off  in  tho  officer's  hands,  and  he  fell  backward  down 
the  stairs  they  had  just  ascended,  with  the  thief  on 
t<jp  of  him.  Neither  was  much  hurt,  but  the  burRlar 
got  first  to  his  feet  and  ran  down  stairs,  closely  fol- 
lowed bv  the  Sereeant.  The  thief  ran  out  of  the 
house,  followed  by  Hamilton,  and  was  tripped  up  by 
the  offleer  at  the  comer  of  Fifty-eighth-street  and 
Third-avenue,  arrested,  and  taken  to  the  Twenty- 
ninth  Precinct  Station-house,  where  he  was  locked 
up.  Meyer  came  over  and  IdentiflfMj  him  as  one  of 
the  burglars.  Then  going  with  the  Sergeant  they 
hunted  up  the  other  burglar.  They  succeeded  in 
finding  him  dnrhig  tbe  evenint;  on  Sixth-avenne,  at 
the  comer  of  Thirteenth -street,  and  he  wa.s  also 
locked  up.  Both  nrisoners  were  arraigned  yesterday, 
before  Justice  Wandell,  in  Jefferson  Market  Police 
Court.  The  first  one  gave  his  name  as  Thomas  Jones, 
an  Iri.sh  barber,  of  No.  309  Spring-street,  and  the 
second  as  Andrew  C.  Lynch,  an  iron-worker,  of  No. 
15  Abingdon -square.  Thev  Were  each  comniltted  for 
trial.  In  default  of  $2.006  ball,  for  burglary  in  the 
second  dejrree.  Their  accomplice  has  not  been  heard 
from.  The  stolen  property  was  all  picked  up  along 
the  route  of  flight,  and  all  identified  hy  Mr.  Mc- 
Embler.   

INDISCRIMINATE  CHAR  ITT. 
To  tfu  Editor  of  the  Nnc-York  Timft: 

Thegood  objects  desired  and  the  happy  re- 
snlts  attained  by  the  managers  of  the  Flo.-iting  Hos- 
pital of  St.  John's  Guild  are  fully  realized  and 
acknowlf^dged  by  most  physicians  in  the  City.  To 
accomplish  the  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number 
with  the  least  possible  exy^nse  is  the  object  which 
should  be  constantly  sought  by  the  Trustees  of  the 
Guild. 

In  two  directions  I  believe  an  Improvement  may  be 
made  In  the  manner  of  conducting  these  excursions, 
first  in  expense,  se^vmd  in  the  mornl  effect  nt>on 
the  mothers  and  friends  of  the  sick  children  : 

Fir$t — To  save  a  large  per  cent,  of  tbe  expense  of 
each  trip  no  food  should  be  furnished  to  any  but  the 
sick.  In  other  words,  oblige  all  adults  to  pro\-ide 
their  own  Innch. 

Second — The  effect  of  providing  a  free  ride  and  free 
lunch  to  people  who  are  able  to  pay  for  the  latter,  is 
but  to  educate  people  to  l>ecome  pauper*. 

Many  of  the  physicians  who  have  received  tickets 
for  distribution  know  full  well  that  often  women  ap- 
ply for  these  tickets  who  are  abundantly  able  to  pro- 
vide for  their  own  families,  and  that  they  desire  a 
free  ride  and  free  lunch  for  themselves,  not  k»r  their 
children.  Many  a  woman  in  good  circumstances,  for 
the  poorer  classes,  will  borrow  a  liahy  for  the  occa- 
sion. 

The  crowding  and  wrangling  of  those  same  women 
at  lunch  time  on  some  of  the  early  excursions  was 
truly  dlsfifusting.  to  say  the  lea:st.  I  believe  we 
should  all  be  more  careful  In  our  indi<^criminate 
charities.  DR.  H.  T.  H.

SAVINGS  BANKS'  SURPLUSES. 
To  ihf  JTdJtor  of  the  Nfv>-  York  Timfg : 

In  reading  your  article  on  City  savings  banks 
in  this  morning's  paper  I  notice  that  you  say  "from 
the  indications  the  present  July  statement  will  be  a 
pleasing  one  to  the  patrons  of  these  institutions,"  and 
so  It  is,  If  a  large  surplus  is  an  indication,  ^e  will 
select  one  of  the  nine  iustituttons  which  reported  ; 
say  the  "Metropolitan  Savimrs  Bank."  because  of  lis 
seemingly  large  surplus.  In  studying  the  report. 
however.  I  find  that  amonit  its  resources  it  include.^  : 

BanklnK-hrnise  and  lot  at  cost $243.?164  7 1 

Other  real  estate  at  co»t 155,233  05 

Excvss  of  market,  value  of   stock  invest- 
ments over  cost 34,282  33 

If  it  is  not  an  impertinent  question,  I  should  like  to 
know  what  the  present  market  value  of  the '•bank- 
ing-house and  lot"  and  "other  real  estate"  Is T  I 
ask  thU  because  If  that  pronertv  has  depreciated 
should  it  not  be  so  mentioned  I  If  it  has  depredated 
since  it  was  bought.  It  Is  evident  that  the  surplus  is 

iust  so  much  less.  What  prompted  me  to  write  this 
B  the  fact  that  they  ji^Jace  their  stocks  at  the  market 
valne,  whereas  the  bankinghouse  and  lot  and  other 
real  estate  Is  quoted  at  cost.  R.  E.  W.

THE  SAUGERTIES  CONTROVERST. 
To  the  KdUoT  of  the  New-  Tork  Time*  : 

There  are  some  misstatementa  in  the  "Plea 
for  Saugerties,"  In  your  issue  of  the  8th  Inst.,*  hav- 
ing a  tendency  to  mislead  and  confuse  parties  intend- 
ing to  visit  the  Catskills.  Saugerties  Is  not  the 
"  great  thoroughfare  between  the  Hudson  and  the 
Catskilla"  I  doubt  very  much  if  five  xtcrsoiA  out  of  a 
hundred  visiting  the  Catskills  land  there,  and  have 
yet  to  hear  of  one  regxUar  stage  line  from  Saugerties 
to  the  mountains.  Any  one  desiring  to  visit  that 
part  of  the  Catskills  south  of  the  Cautersklll  Clove— 
a  redon  comparatively  destitute  of  hotels  or  board- 
ing-houses— would  undoubtedly  find  it  more  con- 
venient to  land  at  Saugerties  or  Kingston,  but  those 
who  Intend  visiting  that  section  of  the  Catsklll 
Mountains  frequented  by  Summer  boarders  will  save 
from  five  to  twelve  miles  of  carriage  riding  and  one 
to  three  hours'  time  by  landing  at  Catsklll.  from 
which  point  there  are  four  regular  stage  lines  and  a 
large  number  of  other  conveyances  to  all  parts  of  the 
Catsklll  region.  One  rea.wn  why  the  Saugerties 
Long  Dock  is  not,  and  never  will  he,  the  great 
thoroughfare,  is  that  It  is  just  1 2  miles  too  far  down 
the  river.  A  comparison  of  tickets  sold  for  each 
place  by  the  New-York  Central  and  Hudson  River 
Railroad  and  the  steamers  of  the  Day  Line  would  be 
satisfactory  to  CATSKXLL .

THE  GARBAGE  QUESTION. 
To  the  Editor  oftAe  Neie-  Tork  Times  : 

The  periodical  excitements  that  the  public  are 
treated  to  by  the  Police  Board  on  the  subject  of  the 
removal  of  garbage  suggests  to  me  a  similar  discus- 
sion which,  not  so  frequently,  has  arisen  with  refer- 
ence to  the  disposition  of  our  dead,  and  also  sug- 
gests a  remedy  which,  in  the  former  C4i8e,  can  with 
greater  facility  and  without  prejadice  be  employed 
than  in  the  latter — I  mean  cremation.  Furnaces  can 
be  built,  I  have  little  doubt,  in  convenient  locations 
that  would  with  less  trouble  and  expense  accompUsh 
fully  what  Is  now  so  wretchedly  performed.  The 
furnaces  will  cost  to  build  less  than  two  steamers. 
and  the  fuel  required  less  in  the  former  than  would 
be  used  in  sailing  the  latter,. and  the  labor,  as  com- 
pared one  with  the  other,  would  certainly  be  favor- 
able to  my  plan,  both  in  expense  and  health,  while 
tbe  residue  after  the  process  could  be  sold  at  a  fair 
figure.  S.

THE  OLD  STORY. 

To  the  B^tor  of  The  Ifete-York  TltneM  : 

Hive  in  Twenty-flfth-street,  between  Madi- 
son Park  and  Fourth-avenue.  Some  four  or  five  of 
Commissioner  Campbell's  men  are  fooling  around 
this  block,  pretending  to  patch  the  pavement.  They 
have  been  at  It  now  some  two  or  three  weeks,  and 
have  put  In  four  or  five  patches  from  one  to  two 
yarda  sqtuure.  At  tiiis  rate  the  job  will  be  completed 
about  Christmas.  It  disgusts  one  to  see  the  way 
these  men  "sojer."  Either  one  of  them  does  not  do 
two  good  homa'  work  a  day.  I  paid  $254  to  pave  in 
front  of  my  house  some  three  or  four  years  ago.  It 
was  a  Stngcontract,  I  suppose.  Now  the  pavement 
is  worn  out.  and  we  are  a^^  grievously  swindled  in 
repalriwit.  ]>,

A  GENERAL  COMMINGLING. 
The  Ottawa  (Canada)  Free  /Vaw  of  thn  I3th 
inst.  contains  the  following  statement:  "We  learn 
from  an  undoubted  source  that  the  Socialists.  Inter- 
nationals, and  Turners  of  the  Western  States  ar*^ 
rapidly  perfecting  an  organization  that  is  expected  to 
give  them  a  preponderance  in  that  repon  never 
dreamed  of  by  the  fotmders.  It  appears  that  re- 
cently several  changes  hjive  beenadnpttd  by  their 
societies  whereby  a  common  platform  ha<  been 
agreed,  to  which  all  members  can  subscribe.  For 
instance,  the  Intern ntioualists  have  divided  them- 
selve.s  into  two  sections — rme  p-ditical,  the  other 
sociaL  The  social  section  is  built  of  planks  taken  '  rom 
every  conceivable  kind  of  liberal  or  advanred  radical 
association,  tbe  whole  comprising  a  platform  brixid 
and  comprehen.sive  enouah  for  every  free  thinker, 
Communist.  Internationalist.  Socialist,  and  atheist  in 
the  United  States  to  stand  upon.  In  Milwaukee  and 
Chicago,  especially,  some  of  tltese  sof-ieties  com- 
prise the  names  of  we-ilthy  and  deservedly  respected 
citizens.  A  movement  is  nowon  foot  lookinir  t-jward 
a  federation  dl  the  Socialists.  lute  max  ionalist*.  and 
Turners  upon  ane  common  platform;  and.  judsriuff 
from  recent  action,  we  should  say  it  is  quite  likely  to 
succeed."

Bpeeial  JHipatek  by  CaOa  to  (he  New-  Tork  Timet. 
London,  Aug.  18. — I  have  just  received 
A  letter  from  the  correspondent  of  The  New- 
ToBX  Tikes,  dated  Bucharest,  Tuesday,  Aug. 
14,  in  which  he  says  thai'the  main  hope  of  the 
Snasiana  now  is  that  they  may  succeed  1  n  win> 
ning  a  decisive  victory  at  Timova,  and  that  In 
ease  success  should  crown  their  efforts  the  Czar 
win  be  ready  to  agree  upon  terms  of  peace  at 
once.  The  Emperor  of  all  the  Bnssias  is  not 
entirely  hopeful  of  final  success  in  the  cam- 
paign now  going  on  beyond  the  Danube. 
It  is  said  he  constantly  upbraids  his 
advisers,  both  military  and  civil,  for  having  led 
him  to  make,  war  against  Turkev.  To  those 
around  him  he  is  continually  repeating  the 
warning  of  the  Emperor  Nicholas,  his  father, 
tiiat  a  nation  should  never  make  war  except  to 
renel  invasion.  Alexander  II.  will  not  forget 
the  prophecy  that  he  will  never  live  to  see  the 
siztieth  anniversary  of  his  birthday.  He  still 
seems  in  constant  fear  of  assassination,  and  it 
is  almost  impossible  for  a  stranser  to  penetrate 
to  his  head-Quartera.  His  sixtieth  birthdav  an- 
niversary will,  if  he  lives,  occur  April  29, 1S78. 
The  same  correspondent  stat^  that  the  Czar 
bae  removed  his  head-quarters  to  a  town  known 
M  Schauchmashla.  The  place  does  not  appear 
on  any  of  the  maps,  but  it  is  located  at  the 
junction  of  two  roads  leadinir  the  one  to  Plev- 
na, the  other  to  Biela,  both  connecting  at  Sis- 
tova,  and  lies  a  few  miles  to  the  north  of  Timo- 
va. This  retrograde  movement  of  the  Em- 
peror and  his  staff  is  ostensibly  to  conduct  the 
pending  operations,  but  is  really  to  avoid  the 
possibility  of  being  cut  off  from  his  line  of 
retreat  in  case  of  another  defeat  of  his  army. 

Haflz  Pasha  is  reported  marching  on  Schipka 
Pass  with  a  strong  force  of  Turkish  troops. 
The  pass  is  still  held  by  a  small  remnant  of  the 
gallant  division  led  by  Gen.  Gourkho, which  made 
some  time  since  such  a  brilliant  but  seemingly 
fruitless  raid  across  the  Balkans.  Gen.  Gourlcho's 
forces  are  certainly  in  a  most  critical  posi- 
tion. Witlr  Suleiman  Paaha  and  a  strong  army 
to  the  south  and  Haflz  Pasha  to  the  north  of 
them,  they  can  hardly  escape  capture,  if  not 
total  annihilation. 

A  small  force  of  Russian  soldiers  are  still 
guartUng  Kikopolis,  or  rather  the  ruins  of  that 
place-  They  have  no  easy  duty  to  perform,  how- 
ever, for  Bashi-  Bazonks  and  other  Turkish  irreg- 
ular horsemen  pay  nightly  and  bloody  visits  to 
the  outposts.  They  come  from  the  direction  of 
Plevna,  and  succeed  in  doing  much  injur>-  to 
the  troops  in  front  of  Xikopolis. 

The  news  of  a  serious  agitation  in  Galicia.  a 
province  of  Austria  lying  between  the  Car- 
pathian Mountains  and  the  Russian  frontier, 
reaches  me  from  a  trusty  correspondent  The 
news  is  reported  as  of  a  most  critical  character. 
A  Polish  revolution  is  momentarily  expected, 
and,  altogether,  the  outlook  for  the  Russian 
Empire  is  by  no  means  encoiiraging. 

The  compassionate  fund  which  is  being  raised 
in  this  cit>*  in  aid  of  the  Turkish  cau.se  has  al- 
ready reached  a  considerable  sum.  The  fund 
was  started  by  Baroness  Burdett  Coutts,  and 
the  money  is  pouring  into  the  treasury  quite 
ra{>idly.  The  fund  thus  raised  will  be  dis- 
tributed among  the  suffering  families  of  those 
who  are  serving  in  the  Turkish  Armies. 

Midhat  Pasha's  reconciliation  with  the  Sultan 
Is  lookc-d  upon  as  entirely  unfavorable  to  an 
early  peace.  The  latest  news  from  the  front  is 
to  the  effect  that  the  belligerent  forces  are  stand- 
ing face  to  face,  and  are  anxiously  awaiting  the 
word  to  enjrage  in  a  general  battle.  The  Rus- 
sian Army  is  believed  to  be  favorably  situated 
for  the  struggle,  and  all  are  confident  of  success 
except  the  Czar,  who,  though  evidently  de- 
spondent, is  really  anxious  for  an  immediate 
and  supreme  effort  on  the  part  of  his  forces.

Vienna,  Aug.  18. — The  Political  Cnrre- 
tpondenee  h.is  a  Bucharest  telegram  sayin  g  : 
"  Gen.  Gourkho  declares  that  the  Rus- 
sian positions,  from  the  Danube  to  the 
Schipka  Pass,  are  so  strong  "  that  the 
Turks  do  not  dare  to  venture  an  at- 
tack. Both  armies  are  constantly  intrench- 
ing themselves.  The  Turks  especially  hold  a 
wonderfully  strong  position  at  Plevna,  but 
Osman  Pasha  i3.  nevertheless,  in  a  difS- 
cult  situation,  because  the'  numerous 
cavalry  attached  to  the  80.000  Russians 
confronting  him  completely  cut  off  his 
communications  with  Sopha  and  capture  his 
convoys  of  ammunition  and  provisions.  The 
Bnssians  will  not  undertake  operations  until  the 
whole  guard  arrives  from  St.  Petersburg.  This 
dgcifies  a  pause  of  a  fortnight  or  three  weeks. 

fThe  Russian  Imperial  Guard  consists  of  three 
dlrislona  of  infantry,  to  each  of  which  is  attached 
a  bxigade  of  field  artillery,  a  brigade  of  rifles,  and 
three  divisions  of  cavalry.  Each  division  of  infan- 
try, again,  consists  of  two  btigadea  each  brigade 
eompriain?  two  regiments,  of  four  battaliona  each. 
The  brigade  of  artillery  attached  to  each 
division  bears  the  same  number  as  this  latter, 
and  consists  of  six  batteries  of  eight  guns  each.  Of 
these  batteries,  the  first,  second,  and  third  are  armed 
With  9-pouBder,  the  fourth,  fifth,  and  sixth  with 
4-poander  guns.  The  total  number  of  men  in  each 
division  of  infantry  of  the  guard,  iodudiog  the  artil- 
lery brigade,  the  artfifery  park,  and  the  divisional 
ambulance,  amounts  io  20,3d4  ;  each  division  being 
ahle  to  place,  when  its  war  establishment  is  complete, 
15,360  bayonets  and  48  guns  in  front  line. 
Each  division  of  cavalry  comprises  two  bri- 
■  gades,  each  formed  of  two  regiments  of 
cavalry  and  two  horse  artillery  batteries  of 
six  guns.  The  total  namt)or  of  men  in  such  a 
division  amounts  to  4,073,  and  it  can  place  in  the 
field  2,499  sabres  and  12  guns.  Finally,  the  brigade 
of  xiflas  of  the  Gnaid  consists-  of  fonr  battalions, 
numbering  in  all  3, 810  men,  and  placing  3,040  bayo- 
nets in  front  line.  Altogether,  therefore,  the  Impe- 
rial Guard  of  Eussia  numbers  77,097  of  all  ranks 
and  arms  of  the  service,  and,  provided  that  all  its 
Bnlts  are  completed  to  their  fnll  war  strength,  can 
piaee  in  the  field  49,120  bayonets,  7,497  sabres, 
X44  field  pieces,  and  36  horse-artiUery  gnns.

A  dispatch  received  yesterday  from  Bnstchnk 
says :  "  The  Russian  bombardment  continnes. 
Two  hundred  shells  have  fallen  in  the  town,  and 
20  persons  have  been  killed.  A  Russian  recon-

ING  THE  DOBEUDSCHA — ^NEWS  PBOK 
THE  CAUCASUS — GREAT  EVENTS  TO  BE 
EXPECTED. 

London,  Aug.  18. — Advices  from  Bucha- 
rest and  Sistova  show  that  the'  Rus- 
sians have  made  no  preparation  against 
bad  weather.  Even  the  flat,  sandy  island, 
over  which  is  an  approach  more  than  a 
mile  long  to  the  ponton  bridges,  shows  no 
sign  of  road-making,  although  100  infantry 
soldiers  have  idled  away  the  time  there  for 
several  months.  It  is  now  a  mass  of  mud, 
as  the  wagons  have  kneaded  its  surface 
seeking  passable  places.  A  few  days'  labor 
of  a  regiment  of  infantry  would  have  made 
across  this  island,  over  which  pass  all  the 
supplies  for  the  Army  of  Bulgaria,  a  road 
capable  of  enduring  an  unlimited  amount  of 
rain  and  traffic  On  the  Sistova  side 
where  the  roads  to  Biela  and  Timova  run 
up  the  steep  hUl-sides,  there  was  also  no 
preparation.  Short  but  severe  showers  on 
Wednesday  night  caught  the  Rvissian  Army 
Service  Department  utterly  unprepared.  After 
the  roads  had  been  made  virtually  impassable 
in  many  places,  fatigue  parties  were  turned 
out  on  the  Sistova  hills  to  cut  a  new  road 
and  make  ill-directed  efforts  to  fill  the  chasms 
in  the  old  ones  with  willow  bushwood. 
The  weather  has  been  exceedingly  dry  for 
months,  consequently  the  roads  were  very 
hard.  If  rain  of  one  night's  duration  could 
produce  effects  such  as  described,  it 
may  easily  be  imagined  what  will 
be  the  consequence  when  a  number 
of  heavy  rainfalls  occur  in  rapid  succession.  A 
part  of  the  Dobrudseha  force  has  already  passed 
through  Roumanla  and  again  crossed  the 
Danube  about  10  miles  above  Rustehvik, 
but  operations  on  the  other  side  are  de- 
layed by  rain  which  has  rendered  all  the 
roads  practically  impassable  for  artillery  and 
trains.  A  great  part  of  the  line  of  communi- 
cation with  the  Army  is  over  mere  cart 
tracks,  beaten  into  dust  in  fljie  weather, 
and  churned  into  deep  mud  when  it 
rains.  Wood  is  scarce  in  the  country  now 
occupied  by  the  Russians,  and  the  enormous 
forces  about  to  be  encamped  in  the  heart  of 
Bulgaria  will  probably  leave  it  as  bare  as  the 
allies  left  the  plains  before  Sebastopol  Dur- 
ing the  occupation  of  the  Dobrudseha  lately, 
the  siok  were  sent  back  at  the  rate  of  300  per 
day.  and  there  are  signs  of  increasing  sickness 
within  the  lines  on  the  other  side  of  the 
Danube. 

The  news  that  Suleiman  Pasha  is  fairly  across 
the  Balkans  seems  to  be  confirmed  from  several 
sources.  Renter's  Sbumla  agent  says  a  por- 
tion of  his  army  has  arrived  at  llyana, 
(EUnar.)  Another  Shumla  correspondent  says 
he  is  before  Plevna.  However  this  may 
be.  it  seems  evident  that  he  either  is  or 
shortly  will  be  in  communication  with  Osman 
Pasha,  or  Lieut -Gen.  Mehemet  Ah,  or  both. 
Suleiman  Pasha  seems  to  have  brought 
his  infantry  and  cavalry  through  Fer- 
ditza  and  Haien  Passes,  and  his  artil- 
lery through  Demi  Capon  Pass,  that  road 
being  better  for  the  transport  of  gnns. 
Shipka  Pass,  which  is  still  held  by  the  Russians, 
was  blockaded  at  the  southern  entrance,  and  will 
probably  have  to  be  evacuated,  unless  the  Rns-' 
sians  attack  and  defeat  one  of  the  three  Turkish 
corps  which  now  form  a  semi-circle  from  Bas- 
grad  to  Ple^•na. 

Some  critics  appear  to  think  that  Russian  ad- 
vantage lies  in  continued  inaction  and  further 
concentration ;  but  the  increasing  ravages  of 
disease  in  the  Russian  camp  is  an  offset 
against  the  arrival  of  reinforcements, 
and  may  compel  their  Generals  to  at- 
tack Plevna  or  Rasgrad  before  strate- 
gical considerations  would  authorise  such 
an  tmdertaking.  It  is  reported  also 
that  public  opinion  in  Russia  is  power- 
fully affected  by  the  failure  before  Plevna. 
Echoes  of  this  dissatisfaction  may  reach  the 
army  in  the  field  and  tend  to  tempt  the 
military  advisers  of  the  Emperor  to  urge  some 
enterprise  that  might  well  be  deferred  till 
stronger  forces  can  be  arranged.  Thus,  It  is 
not  impossible  that  active  operations  may  be 
resumed  before  they  are  justly  warranted. 
The  establishment  of  the  Imperial  Head-quarters 
at  Studen  would  seem  to  point  to  a  closer  con- 
nection between  the  Emperor  and  the  Grand 
Duke  Nicholas,  and,  perhaps,  to  presage  the 
presence,  of  the  head  of  the  Army  at  some  de- 
termined and  obstinate  assault  on  the  inttench- 
ments  of  Osman  Pasha. 

From  the  Caucasus  it  Is  reported  that  the 
Inguri  column,  under  Gen.  Alchasoff.  continued 
its  advance  and  arrived  Aug.  12  near 
Atora,  on  the  river  Yodora,  where  prepara- 
tions were  made  for  effecting  a  passage, 
and  the  cavalry  of  tne  column  crossed  over  to 
the  right  bank ;  but  these  operations  are  not 
likely  to  have  much  influence  on  the  general 
military  situation  in  Armenia.  In  that 
direction,  as  in  Eurofie,  the  Bnasian 
leaders  appear  to  desire  reinforcements  with 
which  to  resume  the  offensive,  it  bile 
their  opponents  are  unable  or  nnwill- 
ing  to  take  active  steps  to  profit 
by  the  quiet  of  their  adversaries.  A  corre- 
spondent of  the  Berlin  National  Zritung  writes 
from  Adrlanople  that  it  is  probable  Hukhtar 
Pasha  will  be  surrotmded  and  compelled 
to  surrender.  The  London  Times  cor- 
respondent, who  has  been  watching  the 
operations  in  Abehasia,  writes  under  date  of 
Aug.  3 :  "I  am  now  about  to  return  to 
Alexandropol,  where  I  am  told  to  expeet  great 
events;  but,  although  troops  have  passed  ap 
that  -way,  I  helive  Aidahan  more  Uk^ 
to  be  ibe  scene  of  the  next  opeia. 
tions.  Gen.  Melikoff,  who  haa  blt£erto 
commanded  in  person,  is  now  to  place  himself 
under  the  orders  of  the  Grand  JDuke  Michael. 
So  it  is  possible  that  operations  may  be  pr^sr- 


terest  of  the  campaign  to  -the  neighborhood   of 
Kara,  Batotim,  and  Ardahan.

SaofrriA,  Monday,  Jnly  30,  1877. 

I  did  not  get  out  with  the  cavalry,  as  I 
had  been  led  to  hope  that  I  should,  and  I  am 
once  more  on  Wallachian  soil,  and  I  shall  be 
back  again  In  Bucharest  in  a  day  or  two ;  and 
except  for  the  grandeur  of  the  thing  and  the 
fine  effect  produced  by  the  heading  of  this  letter 
— being  some  Bulgarian  name — ^my  readers  will 
not  lose  anything  by  my  return  to  the  capital 

On  the  afternoon  of  Sunday  an  unusually 
large  convoy  of  wounded  came  in,  and  instead 
of  being  at  least  partially  unloaded  at  the  local 
hospitels,  was  sent  at  once  across  the  river  ;  and 
a  little  later,  those  of  the  sick  and  wounded  who 
were  in  the  Sistova  Ambulance  and  could  bear 
the  journey  were,  in  their  turn,  transported 
over  the  bridge  to  Simnitza,  and  the  natives, 
by  whom  the  firjt  proceeding  had  been  uimo- 
ticed,  began  to  wonder  what  was  the  matter. 
So,  indeed,  did  every  one  else,  and  a  feeling  of 
uneasiness  gradually  grew  upon  us  and  became 
general,  although  we  were  far  from  expecting 
anything  like  a  serious  disaster,  when  we  read 
the  following  proclamation  of  the  Commander- 
in-Chief,  communicated  to  the  army  with  the 
flourish  of  many  trumpets. 

"Hurrah!  The  defile  of  Schipka  is  ours  I  My  son, 
the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas,  baa  at  this  very  moment 
bronght  to  me  the  fzlorioos  tidings.  The  Regiment  of 
One  longht  on  the  day  before  yesterday  with  incredi- 
ble bravery,  against  14  battalions  of  the  enemy.  This 
regiment  and  its  escort  of  30  Cossaciis  hie  lost  100 
killed  and  wounded.  Two  officers  were  killed  and 
five  wounded. 

"  On  the  same  day  Gen.  Gourkho  captured  the  vil- 
lage of  Kasanlik  and  the  villaEe  of  Schipka.  To-day 
the  Regiment  of  One  has  again  assumed  the  offensive, 
but  the  Turks  fled  without  resistance  and  withont 
firing  a  shot.  At  4  P.  M.  the  Turkish  troops  came 
again  in  sight  of  the  Regiment  of  One.  The  Turks 
fled  westward,  abandoning  tliree  standarda  eight  can- 
nons, and  their  arms.  Tne  .panic  is  immense.  The 
defile  of  Schipka  is  at  this  moment  occupied  by  the 
Begiment  of  One,  with  two  cannon." 

Now  this  model  of  general  orders  was  con- 
ceived and  bom  on  or  about  the  19th  of  July, 
and  has  probably  been  communicated  to  the 
outside  world  some  days  ago,  but  the  Army  was 
kept  in  ignorance,  simply,  I  should  think,  in 
order  that  its  glad  tidings  should  divert  atten- 
tion froin  the  very  disagreeable  proceediq|p  at 
Plevna,  whose  details,  as  they  are  obtained 
from  some  of  the  camp  followers,  of  whom  a 
legion  in  the  shape  of  teamsters  and  sutlers  ac- 
company every  column,  are  more  and  more  dis- 
astrous. But  of  t^is  and  of  several  other  per- 
formances of  a  like  unsatisfactory  character  I 
will  speak  later  ;  at  present  I  have  to  do  with 
Sistova  only.  There  was  no  particular  agitation 
at  the  head-quarters  of  the  town  ;  the  evacua- 
tion of  the  patients  from  tne  hospital  w^s  ef- 
fected very  quietly,  and  no  unustial  number  of 
aides-de-camps  or  orderlies  went  about  with  dis- 
patches, but  a  very  dusty  and  travel-stained 
troop  of  Cossackit,  acting  as  escort  to 
a  steff  officer,  came  in  toward  the  after- 
and       as      soon       as       his       arrival 


came  i 
noon,  aiKl  as  soon 
was  known  the  natives  began  to  gather  together 
in  groups,  evidentiy  in  a  state  of  great  alarm, 
and  with  pale  faces — that  is,  with  as  much 
pallor  as  can  be  seen  tmder  the  layers  of  the 
bronze  and  dirt  of  successive  vears — discussed 
the  situation.  As  I  may  not  have  another  op- 
portunity, let  me  state  one  peculiar  circumstance 
about  this  interesting  people,  for  whom  so  much 
sympathy  has  been  claimed  and  expended.  Ac* 
cording  to  the  "  discipline"  of  the  Bulgarian 
Church,  with  the  exception  of  a  bath  of  salt 
given  to  each  new-bom  infant  so  soon  as  he 
comes  into  the  world,  "it  is  a  deadly  sin  to 
wash  a  male  child  until  he  shall  have  attained 
the  age  of  7  years,"  and  the  only  bath  per- 
mitted to  a  female  during  her  lifetime  is 
that  which  she  must  take  on  the  eve  of 
her  marriage.  There  is  no  exaggeration  in 
this  statement ;  it  will  be  confirmed  by  all 
who  have  really  passeil  some  time  among  these 
people,  and  I  give  It  in  order  to  explain  my  re- 
peated use  of  the  appellation  "  dirty,"  as  un- 
cleanliness  in  every  form  appears  to  be,  with 
cowardice,  the  chief  characteristic  of  the  race. 
The  night  was  probably  an  anxious  one  for 
many  of  these  worthies,  whose  consciences,  not 
being  particularly  at  ease  as  to  their  proceed- 
ings with  the  Turkish  poptilation  after  the  cap- 
ture of  the  town,  suggested  painful  apprehen- 
sions of  reprisals  should  the  Moslem  get  back. 
They  were,  indeed,  not  unlike  in  their  position 
to  the  colored  persons  up  the  Red  River  about 
Alexandria  when  the  great  expedition  retreated 
in  disorder  after  the  battle  of  Mansfield, 
and  may  be  said  to  be  in  the  situation  of  the 
man  who  stood  between  the  Devil  and  the  Dead 
Sea.  I  suppose  that  they  made  up  their  minds 
during  the  hours  of  darkness,  for  as  soon  as  it 
was  daylight  end  circulation  was  permitted  by 
the  Russian  guard,  quite  a  general  exodus  be- 
gan, *'dug  outs  "  were  at  a  premium,  and  men, 
women,  and  children  got  away  as  fast  as  did 
the  children  of  Israel  from  those  bloody  Egyp- 
tians, and,  like  them,  carried  away  as  much  of 
the  heathen's  spoil  as  they  had  been  able  to  collect 
during  their  two  or  three  days'  pillage.  They 
are  bivouacking  around  Simnitza  at  present, 
and  do  not  add  much  to  the  beautv  and  comfort 
of  this  little  Wallachian  town,  already  almost 
uninhabitable  from  the  unusual  caU  upon  its 
limited  resources  in  the  way  of  food  and  lodg- 
ing. 

Since  the  19th  of  .July  affairs  have  gone  very 
badly  with  the  invaders,  who,  after  the  forcing 
of  the  Schipka  Pass,  have  met  with  an  uninter- 
rupted series  of  disasters.  Theimoortanceofthe 
results  atjained  by  the  column  operating  in  the 
Balkans  haa  been  greatly  overrated.  On  the 
13th  inst.  Gen.  Govirkho's  Division  of  4,000 
dragoons  approached  the  base  of  the  mountains. 
On  the  14m  he  occupied,  without  resistance, 
the  village  of  Ainkeni,  repulsing  in  the  even- 
ing an  attempt  of  the  Turks  to  retake  the  posi- 
tion. On  the  15th  he  sent  out  reconnoissances 
in  several  directions.  One  of  these,  consisting  of 
three  squadrons  of  Cossacks,  fell  in  with  the 
enemy  near  Yeni-Saghra  and  held  its  ground 
until  a  reinforcement  of  dragoons  and  horse  ar- 
tillery came  to  ite  relief,  when  the  Turks  re- 
tired. On  the  16th  he  moved  on  Kasanlik,  but 
was  stopped  at  the  village  of  Ouflanl,  where 
there  was  a  sharp  fight  in  which  the  Osmanli 
lost  2,000  killed  and  wounded,  a  standard, 
three  cannon,  and  500  prisoners.  The  Russian 
losses  here  are,  as  usual,  not  given,  but  they  must 
have  been  heavy,  as  the  position  was  Intrenched 
and  was  only  carried  after  several  hours'  severe 
fighting,  and  by  the  assistance  of  several  regi- 
mente  of  infantry  which  had  been  sent  over 
from  Timova  to  reinforce  the  column.  On  the 
17th  Gen.  Gourkho  occupied  Kasanlik,  and  on 
the  same  evening  carried  the  Schipka  pass  by  a 
front  attack.  On  the  18th  he  moved  on  Tvadza 
and  captured  the  first  line  of  defenses,  halt- 
ing at  700  yards  from  the  second  line 
on  the  appearance  of  a  white  flag, 
and  ceasing  fire  immediately,  whereupon 
the  Turks  reopened  the  engagement  which  ter- 
minated, vvithout  any  decisive  result  at  night- 
fall. Next  morning — the  19th  July — an  officei 
came  over  with  a  flag  of  truce  from  the  Pasha 
to  treat  for  a  capitulation  with  Gen.  Gourkho, 
who  gave  the  enemy  until  midday  to  make  up 
his  mind  to  an  unconditional  surrender  or  exter- 
mination. At  the  expiration  of  the  delay 
granted,  the  Russians,  receiving  no  reply, 
rushed  to  the  assault,  and  found  that  the  Turks 
had  got  away  by  some  of  the  moimtain  paths — 
It  Is  supposed  in  a  westerly  direction — 
leaving  their  camp  and  several  cannon,  and. 
according  to  Russian  accounts,  a  number  of 
horribly  mutilated  corpses.  This  was  the 
final  exploit  of  a  very  gallant  raid  which  has 
given  the  Grand  Duke  possession  of  the  impor- 
tant defiles  of  Toundji  and  Kasanlik  as  far  as 
Baldxllar,  on  the  southern  side  of  the  Balkans. 
Unfortonately,  this  column  is  numerically  very 
weak,  and  as  rvoent  evente  render  almost  an  im- 
poasltoity  its  reinforcement  from  the  main 
anny,  itauiessnt  position  is  very  critical 
,  While  these  opeimtions  w8n.going  on  another 


Schuldner,  occupied  the  town  of  Plevna,  where, 
as  a  base,  an  operation  with  the  rest  of 
Krildener's  corps  from  Nikopolis  was  contem- 
plated npon  Widdin.  On  the  morning  of 
the  Idth  Osman  Pasha  attacked  Plevna, 
and  drove  out  the  enemy,  who  was  im- 
pertectiy  protected  by  advanced  guards 
and  was  in  reality  surprised.  On  the  20th  the 
Rtissians  sent  up  a  brigade  to  retake  the  posi- 
tion, and  were  repulsed.  On  the  2Sd  another  at- 
tempt, also  with  a  brigade  only,  was  made,  and 
was  again  unsuccessful  The  German  Colonels 
who  commanded  the  two  regiments,  in  all  near- 
ly 5,000  strong,  lost  their  heads,  allowed  them- 
selves to  be  outflanked,  and  were  defeated. 
Both  the  Colonels  were  killed,  and  only  230 
men  succeeded  in  getting  back  to  the  reserves, 
which  were  never  brought  into  action.  On  the 
28th  the  Russians  attacked  again,  and  on  this 
occasion  in  force,  for  the  rest  of  Krildener's 
corps,  although  on  the  mareh  to  Rahora,  was 
brought  over  in  hot  haste,  and  the  garrison  of 
Kikopolis  replaced  bv  a  Roumanian  division  un- 
der Gen.  Mano.  8iit,  although  they  fought 
with  all  their  accustomed  gallantry,  the  action, 
which  lasted  until  the  night  of  the  29th  July, 
was  again  a  Turkish  victory.  This  succession 
of  deieatsisthe  cause  of  the  Bulgarian  stam- 
pede from  Sistova. 

In  the  first  engagements  Osman  Pasha's 
troops  were  inferior  in  numbers  to  the  Schilder- 
Sohuldner  Division,  had  it  been  brought  entirely 
Into  action,  but  since  then  he  must  have  been 
reinforced,  although  I  still  fail  to  understand 
how  these  reinforcemente  could  have  reached 
him,  as,  unless  Mehemet  Ali  has  broken  through 
the  Russian  lines,  as  would  only  be  possible  if 
the  combat  at  Rasgrad  on  the  27th  July  is  more 
important  than  has  been  represented,  uot  more 
than  10,000  fresh  troops  could  have  been  col- 
lected in  the  Villayet  of  Widdin.  At  all  events, 
the  results  of  this  series  of  engagements  are  of 
capital  importance.  The  advance  of  the  Rus- 
sian centre  is  stopped,  and  the  junction  of 
Raouf  Pasha's  Army  with  that  of  Suleiman 
Pasha  from  Adrianople,  in  all  60,000  men,  is 
asstired.  The  Tvu'kisn  plans  sit  present  appear 
to  have  for  their  objective  the  recapture  of  their 
positions  along  the  Jantra,  which  thev  abandoned 
so  hastily  under  the  imbecile  Abdul  Kerim. 
The  main  Russian  army  in  Bulgaria  proper 
occupies  a  triangle,  with  its  apex  at  the  Schipka 
pass,  and  a  very  narrow  base  along  the  Danube. 
From  the  nature  of  the  battle  at  Rasgrad. and  of 
another  at  Osman  Bazar,  It  looks  as  though  Me- 
hemet Ali  contemplated  a  movement  on  the 
Russian  right  wing  from  Plevna,  and  on  their 
left  from  Sbumla,  either  of  which,  if  successful, 
would  seriously  compromise  his  enemy's  line  of 
retreat  Indeed,  so  grave  are  the  apprehensions 
enterteined  for  the  safety  of  the  head-Quarters 
of  the  Czar,  who  is  at  Biela,  and  nunors  of  his 
capture  are  already  current,  that  the  Rouma- 
nians who  were  only  intended  to  be  kept  in  Xik- 
opolis,have  been  ordered  to  go  to  the  assistance 
of  Gen.  Krildener's  corps  at  Plevna.  This 
last  Is  the  gravest  feature  in  the 
case,  for  Gen.  Mano  would  not 
have  been  called  into  the  field  if  any  imperial 
troops  had  been  available.  As  it  is,  these  poor 
fellows  will  only  add  to  the  slaughter,  as  none 
of  them,  including  even  their  General — who  I 
am  told  is  a  very  good  theorician — have  ever 
been  in  action,  and  it  is  asking  a  great  deal  of 
green  troops  to  send  them  against  intrench- 
ments  the  first  time  they  go  under  fire.  Ac- 
cording to  the  best  authoriiy,  there  are  now 
23,000  Russians  and  27,000  Turks  facing 
each  other  on  the  line  between  Ple\'na  and 
Lovdsteha,  with'  the  advantages  of  position 
in  favor  of  the  Turks,  who  hold  the 
towns  and  all  the  high  ground  east 
of  the  Osma  Valley.  A  general  bat- 
tle must  necessarily  take  place  within 
a  few  days,  if  it  is  not  as  I  believe,  being 
fought  now.  Its  results  will  be  known  by  telt*- 
praph  long  before  this  letter  reaches  its  destina- 
tion, and  although  1  will  not  venture  to  predict 
their  nature,  I  may  assert  that  on  the  issue  of 
this  battle  will  depend  the  fate  of  the  first  cam- 
paign, which  60  far  must  be  a  severe  blow  to  the 
preteuidous  of  thoso  amateur  sirate(ri.<*t.s  who, 
from  ignorance  or  a  desire  to  curry  favor  mth 
the  Russians,  have  so  obstinately  predicted  a 
simple  "  walk  over  '*  for  their  friends,  and  who 
sneered  at  and  snubbed  profe.'wional  soldiers  for 
presuming  to  call  into  question  their  sujHirior 
mtelligence. 

The  intrepidity  and  steadiness  of  the  Russian 
soldier,  the  chivalrous  gallantry  of  his  officers, 
is  beyond  all  praise,  but  as  an  army  Russia's 
legions  have  not  made  one  step  forward  since 
1854.  Rifled  muskets  were  in  their  infnntr)- 
then,  rifled  cannon  were  unknown,  breech- 
loaders were  undreamed  of,  and  yet  we  see  aU 
the  old  mistakes  and  errors  even  of  1828— bad 
enough  then,  but  infinitely  worse  now  that  mod- 
em ingenuity  has  extended  the  range  of  fire- 
arms— repeated  in  every  detail.  Their  success- 
ful operations  against  the  Therkiss  and  the  Turk- 
oman, which,  like  those  of  the  French  against 
Kabyles  and  Bedouin,  were  supposed  to  be  a 
good  training  Fchool  for  the  young  generation 
of  ofificers,  have  iieen  the  ruin  of  their  army, 
for  it  has  taught  them,  as  the  French 
were  taught,  to  despise  and  undervalue  their 
enemy.  Since  the  Crimean  war  the  Russians 
have  never  been  pitted  against  any  civilized 
foe,  where  great  masses  were  brought  in  pres- 
ence, and  now  that  their  old  fogy  chiefs  find 
themselves  with  those  masses  in  their  hands, 
thev  are  uttcrlv  at  a  loss  how  to  use  them.  As 
early  as  1840  JIarshal  von  Moltke.  to  whom 
the '  extraordinary  successes  of  the  German 
Army  have  given  a  kind  of  infallibility  in  mili- 
tery  matters,  signaled  the  difSculties  attendant 
upon  a  campaign  against  the  Turks.  He  showed 
where  they  eri'ed  in  1828  and  18'-J9,  and 
proved,  algebraically  almost  that  they  £ould 
never  be  completely  and  rapidly  successful  un- 
less their  operations  were  commenced  upon  a 
much  greater  scale  than  had  hitherto  been  their 
custom.  But.  as  a  little  learning  is  alwavs  a 
most  dangerous  thing,  the.*^  people  profited  by 
the  letter  of  the  advice,  but  had  not  the  intt-llf- 

fence  to  understand  its  spirit.  Gen.  Ne-jo- 
oitehsky  had  read  Moltke  s  books,  and  had 
seen  how  he  had  been  successful  in  his  enter- 
prise against  Paris,  although  he  had  ventured 
on  its  siege  with  Metz  still  untuken  in  his  rear, 
and  he  thought  that  he  could  go  and  do  likewise, 
and,  simply  masking  the  quadrilateral,  could 
mareh  on  victoriously  to  Adrianople,  forgetting 
that  the  Germans  had  already  had  an  appren- 
ticeship to  their  new  tactics  in  the  campaigns 
against  Denmark  and  Austria  ;  that  Rusbia's 
legions  can  no  more  be  compared  with  those  of 
Germany  than  can  the  greasy  warriors  of  King 
John  of  Abyssinia,  and  that  the  incapacity  of 
the  French  Generals,  even  more  than  his  own 
transcendent  abilities,  secured  the  success  of  a 
series  of  operations  which,  against  other  ene- 
my than  the  disorganized,  badly  commanded 
French,  would  have  had  a  very  different  issue, 
and  that  with  the  enterprise  and  initiative  of 
American  troops,  the  leaguers  of  Paris  would 
have  never  left  the' country  except  as  exchanged 
prisoners. 

Strategically  and  tactically,  every  conception 
has  been  faulty  and  every  execution  defective. 
Three  hundred  thousand  men  crossed  the 
Pruth ;  240,000,  according  to  their  own  ac- 
counte,  are  on  Turkish  territory,  and  with  what 
resulte  T  Their  splendid  army  has  been  broken 
up  into  fragments;  they  have  moved  along 
eccentric,  divergent  outer  lines,  where  each  step 
forward  removed  each  fraction  further  from  its 
base,  and  from  all  possibility  of  mutual  sup- 
port They  have  fought  their  troops  iu  drib- 
lets, and  now,  after  nearly  six  weeks  occupa- 
tion of  the  outskirts  of  the  enemy's  country, 
they  can  only  register  in  their  favor  the  pas- 
sage of  an  tmdefended  river,  the  capture  of  a 
petty  fortress  by  a  force  double  the  numbers  of 
Its  garrison,  and  a  successful  raid  to  a  position 
in  the  Balkans  which  one  more  defeat  will 
render  untenable.  They  have  no  orgaiiizert 
commissariat  they  are  without  money,  and, 
what  is  worse  than  all,  notwithstanding  their 
courage,  perseverance,  and  daring,  they  are 
without  one  single  General  who  is  capable  of 
successfully  commanding  a  brigade.  1  always 
supposed  that  there  would  be  great  and  serious 
obstacles  to  overcome  before  their  triumph  was 
assured,  but  I  never  anticipated  so  utter  a  col- 
lapse. I  prophesied  at  the  beginning  of  the 
war  that  if  not  more  than  150,000  Rupsians 
reached  the  second  line  of  the  Turkish  defense, 
not  many  of  them  would  ever  get  back  to  the 
Danube,  and  the  occurrences  of  the  past  10, 
days  fully  justify  my  calculations,  which  were' 
based,  not  upon  partiality  or  prejudice,  but  upon 
a  knowledge  of  the  country  and  of  the  qualities 
of  the  Turkish  soldier.

greasman  Alexander  Mitehell,  resident  of  the 
Chicago,  Milwaukee  and  St  Paul  Railroad,  was 
brou^t  into  court  to-day  on  a  writ  of  habeas 
corpus  issued  In  behalf  of  his  daughter  in-law 
to  secure  possession  of  her  child,  Mrs.  Mitchell 
having  commenced  a  suit  for  divorce  from  Al- 
exander Mitehell's  son  John.  The  pair  have 
lived  tinhappily  together  for  years.  The  hus- 
band has  been  more  or  less  dissipated  and  bod- 
tempered.  His  wife,  who  is  a  beautiful  woman, 
has  also  been  addicted  to  drink.  Some  weeks 
a^o,  according  to  the  story  told  by  John  Miteh- 
ell'sfriends,  he  protested  against  the  visits  of  a  cer- 
tain man  to  his  house.  Highwordswere<ndulged 
in  by  himself  auM  wife,  aai  during  the  progress 
of  the  discussion  the  man  who  was  the  subject 
of  their  trouble  came  in.  He  remained  till  a 
late  hour,  and  as  he  took  his  leave  Mrs.  Mitehell 
accompanied  him  outside  the  door.  The  hus- 
band then  coolly  turned  the  key.  leaving  her 
shut  out  The  residence  of  the  couple  is  some 
miles  from  town.  Mrs.  Jlitehell  went  to  the 
stable,  got  a  horse,  and  came  to  the  city.  Since 
then  she  has  never  been  back  to  her  home.  The 
couple  have  two  children — one  the  inmate  of  an 
institution  for  f feble-minded ;  the  other  is  2 
years  old.andisin  thepo.«sessionof  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Alexander  MitcheQ,  its  grandparents..  It  is  to 
secure  pos.-es3ion  of  this  child  that  proceedings 
were  brought  Mr.  Mitehell,  in  response  to 
the  writ,  relates  that  he  has  the 
custody  of  the  chUd  by  virtue  of 
a  power  of  attorney  from  the  father ; 
that  the  child  now  has  a  comfortable  home  with 
him ;  that  Bianca  C.  Mitchell  the  mother,  is 
unfit  to  have  control  of  the  child ;  that  she  has 
for  a  number  of  years  been  addicted  to  an  inor- 
dinate use  of  liquor,  has  often  been  very  drunk, 
and  by  reason  of  her  excessive  drinking  has  be- 
come unfit  to  have  the  care  of  the  child ;  that 
through  the  use  of  liquor  she  has  become 
violent  and  harsh  in  temper,  and  that  the  morals 
and  health  of  the  child  would  be  endangered  in 
her  hands;  that  he  hasoffered  to  let'her  see  the 
child  at  reasonable  times,  and  that  she  has  left 
it  for  days  without  care  or  attention.  Mrs. 
Mitchell  makes  denial  of  the  allegations,  and 
savs  when  she  left  the  child  for  days  at  a  time 
it  had  the  care  of  a  competent  nurse.  She  iie- 
nies  that  she  is  unfit  to  have  the  custody  of  the 
chUd,  and  says  that  prior  to  her  marriage  she 
never  tasted  liquor,  but  that  after  marriage, 
finding  her  husbjind  to  be  a  confirmed  drunk- 
ard, and  npon  his  frequent  solicitations,  and  his 
surrounding  her  with  drinking  associations,  she 
frequently  drank  in  his  company,  but  she  has 
now,  and  for  a  long  time,  entirely  abandoned 
the  use  of  all  kinds  of  liquor.  She  denies  that 
Alexander  Mitehell  offered  to  allow  her  to  see 
her  child,  and  says  she  was  refnsfid  permisrion 
to  see  it  on  the  Sth  inst,,  its  birthday  ;  that 
John  L.  Mit^'hell  is  unfit  to  have  control  of  the 
child  by  reason  of  his  habitual  drunkenness 
and  adulterous  life. 

In  her  complaint  for  divorce.  Mrs.  Mitchell 
alleges  drunkenness,  cruelty,  and  adultery.  The 
case  has  been  adjourned  10  days,  the  child  to 
remain  in  the  custody  of  its  grandfather  till 
then.  The  troubles  of  the  Jlitehell  family  have 
created  a  great  sensation.  .John  Tj.  Mitchell  is 
an  only  son  of  Alexander  ilitchell,  and  a  man 
of  considerable  ability  in  .science,  and  is  an  en- 
thusiastic agriculturist  and  horseman.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  State  Senate,  has  recently  been 
supposed  to  have  cancer  of  the  stomach,  and 
ha.s  taken  to  drink.  The  loss  of  five  children 
had  much  to  do  with  and  increase  this  infiruiity. 
Both  are  unouestiouably  to  blame.  Mrs.  Mitch- 
ell was  poor  when  she  married,  but  beautiful 
and  intelligent.  The  marriage  was  bitterly  op- 
posed by  the  Mitchells,  and  there  never  has 
been  any  feeling  of  great  friendliness  between 
the  two  families- 

TBE  riXELAND  BURIAL  CASE. 
A  PUBLIC  MEETING  .\ND  ITS   RESULT — BISHOP 
COSSIQAN'S     ACTION     IN      THE     CONTRO- 
VERSY— ^MRS.   MAGGIOLI   STANDS  FIRM. 
Special  DispatKh  to  the  ^Cew-York  T^mee. 

ViNELAND,  N.  J.,  Aug.  IS. — The  meeting 
held  here  on  Friday  evening  to  give  expression 
to  the  sympathy  of  the  citizens  of  Vineland  for 
Mrs.  JIaggioli.  and  to  the  popular  feeling  in  re- 
gard to  the  threatened  disinterment 'of  the  body 
of  her  husband,  was  not  a  complete  success,  if 
to  make  it  a  success  it  was  necessary  that  there 
should  be  perfect  unanimity  of  opinion  on  the 
subject  The  sentiment  of  the  audience,  which 
was  a  large  and  apparentiy  interested  one,  was 
about  equally  divided  as  to  the  expedi- 
ency or  inexpediency  of  any  public 
action  at  this  stege  of  affairs,  because 
Rev.  Father  Vivet  had  been  deterred 
from  carrj'ing  out  his  threat  by  the  articles  al- 
ready published  in  the  newspapers,  had  re- 
ceded from  his  first  position,  and  there  was  no 
present  danger  of  an  attempted  removal  of  the 
body.  All  shades  of  opinion  were  represented 
in  the  audience,  and  the  resolutions  expressive 
of  sympathy  and  ^'indignation,"  which  were 
finally  adopted  as  the  sense  of  the  meeting, 
were  earnestly  discussed  from  all  points  of 
view,  and  came  near  being  tabled.  They  were 
only  pined  at  last  by  a  bare  majority.  This 
morning  Father  Vivet  returned  from,  New- 
ark, where  he  had  been  to  consult 
Bishop  Corrigan.  He  brought  with  him  the 
final  decision  of  the  Bishop  in  regard  to  the 
case,  which  plainly  shows  that  the  right  rever- 
end gentieman  •wishes  to  wash  his  hands  of  the 
matter,  but  the  reference  of  the  whole  subject 
of  dispute  for  settiement  to  the  two  women 
most  nearly  interested  is  not  likely  to  t»  a 
speedy  method  of  disposing  of  the  question. 
Father  Vivet  gave  the  following,  over  his  own 
signature,  as  the  Bishop's  ultimatum : 

After  consultation  with  the  right  reverend 
Bishop,  I  am  authorized  to  propose  to  Mrs.  Matigioli 
to  remove  her  husband  firora  the  place  that  belongs 
to  Mrs,  James  Gregory,  and  to  give  her  another 
grave  if  she  compiles  with  the  rejrulatioDL  of  the 
cemetery.  Should  Mrs.  Majsnoli  refuse  to  remove 
her  husfiand  the  case  would  then  be  settled  between 
Mrs.  Gregory  and  Mrs.  Maggioli.      P.  VIVET, 

Pastor  Roman  Catholic  Church." 

The  following  was  appended  as  a  supplement- 
ary note  cf  admonitorv  counsel  from  the  Bishop, 
with  a  view  of  influencing  Mrs.  Maggioli's  de- 
cision : 

"  The  right  reverend  Bishop  hopes  tnat  Mrs.  Mag- 
gioU.  understanding  that  the  grave  belongs  to  Mrs. 
James  Oregoiy.  wih  certainly,  as  a  dutiful  member 
of  her  Church,  comply  with  his  wishes  and  see  her 
pastor.  Rev.  P.  Vivet  in  regard  to  a  new  crave, 
in  accordance  with  the  regulations  of  the  cemetery." 

Mrs.  Maggioli,  when  interviewed  this  after- 
noon with  reference  to  the  Bi-^^hop's  action, 
stated,  through  Mr.  Eossetti,  the  gentieman 
who  representeii  her  in  a  friendly  way,  and 
who  acted  as  Interpreter,  that  she  was  irrevo- 
cably op;  osed  to  the  oxhuioution  of  her  hus- 
band's body  under  any  circumstances,  and 
would  not  consent  to  a  thing  of  this  kind  unless 
obliged  to.  She  also  stated  that  within  a  day 
or  two  emissaries  of  Father  Vivet  had  ap- 
proached her,  and  sought  by  threa's  and 
expostiilations  to  effect  a  change  of 
her  purpose,  but  that  no  arguments  or  mensces 
would  move  her.  Mr.  E.  M.  'Turner,  the  attorney 
oftheltalian  Committee  and  Mrs.  Maggioli  in  this 
matter,  stated  to  the  reporter  that  as  the  case 
stood  at  present  a  compromise  was  impossible 
until  it  was  proved  beyond  the  shadow  of  a  pos- 
sible doubt,  that  Mrs.  (Gregory  had  a  valid  claim 
upon  this  lot  where  Maggioli  was  interred. 
His  body  would  not,  in  any  case,  be  moved 
imtil  late  in  the  season.  At  ibo 
mostt  the  claim  was  only  a  permit  to 
bury,  and  Mrs.  Gregory's  claim  covered  the  un- 
occupied lot  between  her  husband's  and  Mag- 
goli's  grave,  and  not  that  grave.  If  there 
snoold  be  the  least  reason  to  believe  that  there 
would  be  an  attempt  to  eybntne  the  corpse,  he 
would  get  out  a  perpetual  Injunotionagainst  the 
Bishcp,  the  priest  and  Mrs.  Gregory.  The  law 
in  the  case  was  plain  and  nnmistakable,  and  he 
woold  see  tiiat  there  was  no  violation  of  it   To- 


Vivet  sought  a  conference  with  Mrs.  Maggioli, 
in  order  that  he  might  convey  to  her 
Bishop  Corrigan's  jnd^^ent  in  the  miatter.  She 
refused  to  have  any  discourse  with  him,  and  re- 
ferred him  to  the  committee  of  gentiemen  who 
act  as  her  advisers.  With  these  gentiemen 
Father  Vivet  declined  to  have  dealings.  After 
this  rebtiff  he  went  to  Lawyer  Turner's  office, 
and  read  to  him,  from  the  Vineland  WnMy  of 
to-day,  the  copy  of  the  Bishop's  decision.  Mr. 
Turner  informed  him  that  he  would  return  him 
an  answer  in  writing  next  Monday  or  Tuesdjsy.

Chicago,    ni.,   Aug.    18. —About    two 

weeks  ago  CoL  Austin,  a  banker,  of  Dover, 
N.  H.,  accompanied  by  Jayne,  the  New- 
York  Government  detective,  arrived  here 
from  New-York,  and  at  once  placed 
themselves  in  oommunication  with  one 
of  the  constables  attached  to  the  office  of 
Justice  Pollak.  For  10  days  these  three  only 
knew  what  was  wanted.  On  Wednesday  of  this 
week,  however,  their  business  was  so  well  under 
way  that  they  were  compelled  to  divulge  a  por- 
tion of  it  before  taking  the  final  steps.  Wat^ 
rante  were  then  sworn  out  for  the  arrest  of  three 
men  on  a  charge  of  forgery.  One 
of  the  checks  alleged  to  have  been  forged 
was  for  $26,000,  while  the  others  were 
for  more  moderate  sums — $8,000  and  the  like. 
On  Thursday  evening  the  constable  arrested 
two  of  the  accused  at  the  Sherman  House,  and 
took  them  to  rooms  in  the  Grand  Pacific  Ho- 
tel where  they  were  securely  guarded.  After 
being  taken  to  the  Grand  Pacific,  the  officers 
deposited  with  the  clerk,  for  safe  keeping,  $36,- 
000  in  bills  taken  from  the  prisoners.  Of 
course,  these  manoeuvres  excited  great  suspi- 
cion, and  the  circumstances  attending  their  ar- 
rest were  finally  made  public. 

It  appears  that  the  two  men,  whose  names 
are  said  to  be  Nelson  A  Gesner,  E.  B.  Weston, 
and  another  "<«"  —  E.  T.  Henderson  —  who 
was  arrested  in  Michigan  at  the  same  time, 
are  alleged  to  be  members  of  a  gang  of 
forgere  whose  operations  have  been  con- 
ducted on  a  magnificent  scale,  and  have  ex- 
tended to  all  parts  of  the  country.  So  success- 
ful have  they  been  that  they  are  said  to  have 
realized  more  than  $450,000  within  the  last 
year.  The  head  of.  the  gang  is  a  New-York 
banker  or  bank  clerk.  Henderson,  who  also 
goes  by  the  name  of  Stevens,  is  a  business  man 
and  general  speculator.  He  is  acknowledged  to 
be  the  be&d  and  frf>nt  of  the  forgery 
busines.s,  in  these  cases  doing  all  the 
fine  work.  The  plan  has  been  for 
one  or  more  to  go  to  some  place  and  en- 
gage in  business,  making  themselves  "  solid" 
with  the  business  community^  and  then 
begin  their  operations.  Two  of  the 
parties  now  under  arrest  here  were  recentlv 
operating  in  Burlington,  lows,  from  whence 
they  came  to  Chicago.  Another  party  has  been 
in  Minneapolis,  Minn.;  a  fifth  in  St.  Louis,  and 
a  sixth  in  Indianapolis.  Friday  night  one  of 
the  party,  known  as  "Cot"  Cross,  was  arrested 
in  St  Louis.  The  Indianapolis  iflan  was  also 
captured  yesterday,  and  the  one  in  Minneapolisr 
would  have  been  taken  ere  this,  but  got  away 
on  a  river  steamer  before  the  officers  could  get 
hands  on  him,  ■  The  New- York  bazik  man  has 
been  watchea  for  months,  and  can  be  taken  in 
ot  any  time.  The  New-York  detectives  have  been 
working  up  the  case  for  four  months,  and  but 
for  the  accidental  departure  of  their  Minneap- 
olis man  at  the  very  last  moment  p^e^^ou8  to 
his  intended  seizure,  every  known  member  of 
the  gang  would  have  been  arrested. 

The  three  prisoners  operating  here  have  been 
in  Chicago  about  three  weeks,,  and  in  that  time 
have  "bagged,"  it  is  said,  $4,600  from  the 
Third  National  Bank,  and  as  nearly  as  can  be 
learned  $100,000  from  other  sources.  The 
ban'i  people  are  extremely  reticent  on  the  sub- 
ject. "The  three  men  in  custody  are  charged 
with  having,  among  other  work  of  their 
kind,  passed  a  forged  check  for  $26,986  75, 
purporting  to  have  been  issued  by  Winslow. 
Lanier  &  Co..  of  New-York  City :  also  a  check 
drawn  by  the  New- York  Life  Insurance  Cem- 
pany.  amount  unknown ;  aI.so  with  raising  a 
draft  issued  bv  a  Milwaukee  bank  on  the  Third 
National  of  this  city  from  $460  to  $4,600.  By 
the  check-raising  system  the  Minneapolis  opera- 
tor is  reported  to  have  swindled  the  Lake  City 
National  Bank  of  Lake  City.  Minn.,  out  of 
$60,000.  Gesner  is  said  to  have  formerly  been 
a  Paymaster  in  the  Army.  Officers  have  been 
sent  out  to  intercept  the  Minneapolis  member  of 
the  gang. 

The  forged  check  of  Winslow.  Lavier  &  Ce. 
was  drawn  on  the  Third  National  Bank  of  New- 
York,  and  the  check  of  the  New-York  Life  In- 
surance Company  was  drawn  on  the  Loan  and 
Trust  Cojnpany  of  New- York,  and  was  for  an 
amount  approximating  $40,000.  Henderson 
or  Stevens  had  just  come  up  from  Rahwav, 
N.  J.,  to  Michigan  with  his  family 
for  the  purpose  of  spending  a  few  weeks  in  the 
country.  No  requisition  was  had  for  the  arrest 
of  the  prisoner,  as  the  parties  in  New-York  in- 
terested in  making  the  arrest  were  afraid  of  the 
siffair  leaking  out  through  the  Attomev-Gen- 
eral's  office  in  that  State.  Austin  and  Jayne, 
with  Gesner  and  Weston,  left  for  New- York  on 
the  5:15  train  this  afternoon,  while  Hender- 
son, alias  Stevens,  went  on  from  Michigan. 
Gesner  is  the  man  who  did  the  mechanical 
work,  washing  drafte  and  raising  the 
same.  He  was  quite  recentiy  a  mem'oer 
of  the  Minnesota  Legislatiire.  Weston  had 
a  number  of  wa-^hed  checks  and  other  papers 
on  his  person  when  arrested.  Henderson  has 
no  particular  habitation,  and  "while  he  is  known 
to  h;ive  been  long  engaged  in  crooked  work,  has 
never  beforp  been  "  run  in"  by  the  de- 
tectives. There  is  one  party  who  had  not  been 
arrested  at  the  latest  advices  here.  He 
is  the  one  who  passes  the  forged  checks,  and  is 
known  to  be  in  New-York.  Late  developments 
show  that  the  reporte  that  the  forgers  reaped  a 
harvest  here  are  not  true.  Their  operations 
were  carried  on  chiefly  in  New- York  and  Jlin- 
nesota. 

FATAL  TUG-BOAT  EXPLOSION. 

APPALLING  ACCIDENT  IN    HAMPTON  ROADS — 

THREE  MEN  KILLED. 

Speotal  DiapattA  to  the  Xew-Tork  Tbnes. 

Norfolk,  Va.,  Aug.  18. — An  appalling 
accident  oceured  this  morning,  by  which  three 
men  were  instantly  killed  and  a  valuable  tug- 
boat blown  to  pieces.  The  tug  Matt  White, 
Capt  Dick  Blunt,  which  has  been  towing  on 
James  River  for  some  time  past,  came  into  the 
Roads  yesterday  afternoon  and  went  over  to  the 
Rip  Raps,  where  she  tied  up  alongside  of  the 
wharf  for  the  night  The  Captam  and  crew 
retired  as  usual,  with  the  fires  banked,  and 
this  morning  the  engineer,  a  Mr.  James,  got 
up  to  attend  to  them.  Capt.  Blunt  got  up 
about  5  o'clock,  took  his  glass,  and,  after  a 
careful  look,  findii^  nothing  new  in  sight 
turned  in  to  take  another  nap.  Hardly  had  he 
returned  to  his  berth  when  the  explosion  took 
place  with  deafening  noise,  blowing  the  whole 
forward  part  of  the  vessel  to  atoms,  and  she 
sunk  at  the  wharf  where  she  lay.  Mr.  Allen, 
watchman  on  the  Rip  Raps,  at  once  went  to  tne 
scene  of  disaster,  and  succeeded  in  rescuing  the 
mate  and  one  fireman,  who  were  not  seriously 
injured. 

The  pilot-boat  Phantom  also  'went  to  their  as- 
sistance, and  found  the  debris  from  the  wreck 
scattered  over  perhaps  an  acre  of  space.  The 
whole  forward  part  of  the  vesset.mu8t  have  been 
blown  to  atoms,  and  Capt  Blimt  Engineer 
James,  and  a  fireman  proMibly  glared  the  same 
fate.  The  Custom-house  officers  and  others 
went  to  the  scene  with  grappiings,  &c.,  to  searoh 
for  the  bodies.  The  fireman  has  been  found 
beneath  the  t>oiler  at  the  stem  of  the  boat 
What  is  left  of  the  vessel  is  out  of  the  water. 
The  Matt  White  was  owned  by  Mr.  Law- 
rence, of  Richmond.  Capt  Blunt  was 
about  50  years  of  age,  and  was  well  known 
on  the  nver  as  a  popular  and  obliging 
Captain.  He  leaves  a  wife,  it  is  understood.  In

From  Our  Omt  CorrmpcnOmL 

London,  Wednesday,  Aug.  8, 1877, 
Mr.  James,  the  aotor-hero  of  "Our  Boys,'' 
and  his  Grace  the  Duke  of  Beanfort  are  tlie 
principal  founders  of  the  Green-room  Qub. 
Jlr.  James  has  devoted  every  moment  o£  hii 
time  outside  the  Vaudeville  Theatre  to  organ- 
izing and  establishing  it  "  The  Dock  "  his 
been  a  constant  attendant  His  Grace  and 
James  are  fast  friends.  They  understand  each 
other.  James  venerates  his  Grace  ;  the  Duks 
appreciates  the  admiration  of  James.  A  weey. 
ago  James  and  Thome,  the  joint  les.^es  of  tha 
prosperous  littie  Vaudeville  Theatre,  started  on 
a  holiday  tour  to  the  Continent  On  the  first 
night  after  their  departure,  somebody  at  th« 
Greenroom  said,  "  I  wonder  what  James  is  do. 
ing  now  ?"  "  Snoring,"  was  the  reply,  for  il 
was  two  hours  after  midnight.  *' 'Where  ie  he?'' 
"  At  the  Hotel  des  Bains,  Boulogne,"  was  the 
reply.  "  Let  us  send  him  a  telegram  and  say 
the  Green-room  is  burned  down."  The  sngges- 
tion  was  discussed,  and  finally  the  following 
circumstantial  aoeoimt  of  affairs  at  AdelnU 
Terrace  was  telegraphed  to  Boulogne,  ostenai- 
bly  from  the  General  Secretary  of  the  clnb, 
whose  name  was  used  on  this  occasion  witboni 
his  authority  ; 

O to  Jamee.  Hotel  det  Baint.  Bmdogne  : 

"All  sixes  and  sevens  since  yon  left.  LendM, 
very  disagreeable.  Di.sgraceful  scene  to-night  tV. 
[the  manager]  lying  drank  iu  elub-room  with  his 
hat  on,  and  swears  he  won't  provide  dinner  to-mo> 
row.  His  Grace  called,  but  left  immediately,  dia. 
gnsted.     What  shall  I  do  V 

This  telegraphic  annouacemeut  reached  Z£t. 
James  at  daybreak.  It  was  marked  "immedi. 
ate."  His  hcpes  all  dashed,  his  fears  that  zkt 
club  could  not  get  on  without  him  only  toe 
cruelly  realized,  James  rushed  to  Thome's  bed 
room,  and  they  discussed  the  news  "withoor  wait- 
ing to  dress.  That  the  Duke  should  have  gone 
to  the  club  in  the  midst  of  such  a  scene  was  tha 
most  painful  feature  of  the  general  ontraga. 
And  W.  on  the  floor,  dmnk.  and  wearing  his  hsi 
in  presence  of  the  members  of  the  club! 
James  wanted  to  leave  Boulogne  by  the  next 
boat  Thome,  however,  has  a  calmer  if  not  a 
more  judicial  mind,  and  finally  thej-s?reed  upon 
the  following  reply : 

James  to  O .* 

Surprised  and  pained '  at  your  telegram.  Call  tK 
boys  together  immediately.  Be  firm.  Disoharse  W. 
immediately.  If  my  pres^-ice  is  necessarj"  will  coma 
back.    Letter  by  post    Above  all  things  be  f  rm. 

The  bewilderment  of  C on  receiving  tb<* 

message  can  be  imagined.  He  called  some  of 
"the  boys"  together.  They  could  only  con- 
clude that  James  was  playing  a  practical  jck£  on 

C ,  or  that  the  success  of   "Our  Boys"  had 

at  Ia,>!t  turned  the  clever  actor's  brain.  When  a 
long  letter  arrived  by  the  next  mail,  in  which 
James  discus.«!ed  "  the  painful  business,"  and 
advised  upon  it  with  an  earnest  aloqnence  and 
firmness  of  character  quite  foreign  to  his  nn- 

ture,  C was  more  than  ever  perplexed,  sad  a 

private  meeting  of  the  cln'>,  cjnsistic^ 
chiefly  of  the  members  who  had  per- 
petrated   tho    hoax,     was    at    once    called    ti 

assist     C to     underscand    and    act    u3on 

James'  extraordinary  letter,  whk-.'a  was 
read  amid  inextinguishable  roars  of  laughter. 
Finally  a  comforting  telegram  was  sent  to 
James,  followed  by  a  satisfactory  account  o. 
the  renewed  decorum  of  the  chib.  with  guaran- 
tees for  the  propriety  of  its  future  conduct  i 
and,  after  a  brief  delay  at  Boulogne,  Messrs 
.Tames  and  Thome  went  on  their  way  rejoicing 
The  joke  is  just  no'w  the  talk  of  the  clabs, 
and  everybody  is  laughing  with  tie  «Gre'>n 
room  at  its  popular  but  overanxious  founJer 
The  Duke  has  carried  the  story  sway  to  hit 
family  estete,  and  it  will  form  a  delightful  Topic 
for  his  Grace  and  the  actor  when  they  come 
back  to  town  for  the  Winter  season. 

The  jealousy  between  the  Beefsteal:  Cab  and 
the  Green-room  is  notoriou.^.  tho-og'n  Vx-tween 
the  members  it  is  only  the  oocasion  tor  pieasan": 
badinage.  The  Green-room  has  the  tiake  oi 
Beaufort  for  its  President.  The  B.?^'.'sTeaij 
count  his  Grace  and  Sir  George  Womhwell  (.-v 
Baronet  and  one  of  the  heroes  of  Salacluve" 
among  their  ordinary  members.  Mr.  'DurLachtr, 
a  pleasant  member  of  '"  the  Chosen  People,"  ir 
on  the  list  of  both  clubs.  In  the  early  cays  of 
the  Turko-Russian  ■war  I  sent  you  the  chorus  cj 
the  most  popular  song  of  the  day : 
•  ■  We  do  not  want  to  fight ;  bnt  by  iingo  if  we  do 
We've  got  the  ships,  we've  got  tae  men.   we've  gol 

the  money,  too. 
And  the  Russians  sha'n't  have  Constantinople.'' 

One  evening  inis  week,  parodying  these  lines, 
the  following  humorous  rauat  was  seat  froi: 
the  Beefsteii  Club,  in  King  Willi  am -street  to 
Adelphi  Terrace  : 

The  bcefgteaks  to  the  Green-room- 
"We  do  not  want  to  boast,  but.  'oy  jingo,  if  we  do 
We've  got  the  Dook.  we've  s-j*.  Sit  George,  aiu  gos 
Dnrlucher.  too.' 

Mr.  Lord  replied  impromptu  for  Adelphi  Ter- 
race : 

The  GreenrToom  to  tJie  Be^ttea^. 
"  We  do  Wit  want  to  swagger,  but  by  jingo  when  we  do. 
We'll  migrate  to  King  wD'daiu-slreet  a^-u  let^ii  uxo 
art  from  you." 

Such  are  the  amenities  of  the  two  youngest 
and  the  two  brightest  dsamatic  clubs  in  London ' 

A  friend  who  has  been  suddenly  oaiied  homo 
from  Homburg  tells  me  that  the  season  prem- 
ises to  be  one  of  the  most  brilliant  on  record. 
Poor  Ward  Hunt  died  there,  his  son  answering . 
the  summons  of  his  mother,  though  he  CTaveiexl 
with  all  speed,  half  an  hour  too  iate.  Lcrl 
Beaconsflefd,  it  is  understood,  is  desirnui  to 
grant  Mrs.  Hunt  a  pension.  A  oorre<ipondent 
in  a  weekly  journal  says :  '•  Homburg  ib  looking 
forward  with  interest  to  the  arrival  of  the 
famous  Widow  Hicks.  She  is  expected  in  ih3 
train  of  the  Duchess  of  St.  Albans.  It  is  not 
known  whether  Lord  Henry  Lennox  wiU  be  one 
of  the  party."  Among  the  other  events  of  in- 
terest are  "  sxeeplCHiha-ses  next,  month,  a  cup 
being  given  by  the  Eiiglish  visitors  to  be  ridilea 
for  by  officers  of  the  German  Army,  who  are  to 
ride  in  uniform." 

The  bank  holiday  has  passed  over  without 
any  serious  accident,  except  the  loss  of  one  hoy 
dro'vraed  during  a  boating  excursion  on  the 
Thames,  though  the  statistios  of  theday's  move- 
mente  present  a  verv  remarkable  lot  of  figures. 
The  Great  Eastern  fiailway  carried  41,000.  and 
the  South-eastern  53.400  passengers  to  and 
from  the  sea  and  the  fielaa  Kew  Garden* 
were  visited  by  58,000,  and  nearly  30,000 
went  to  Hainpton  Court.  Upward  of  40.IKI0 
went  to  the  Crjstal  Palace,  over  30,003  p  iyin» 
for  admission  ;  50,000  went  to  the  Alexandra 
Palace,  and  the  turnstiles  at  the  Bri:rii:on 
Aquarium  registered  13.8-iO.  Every  raiiw.iy, 
every  steam-boat  was  crowded  fro.Ti  m>jrning 
until  night  and  it  savs  -something  for  th:;  ex-

■were  commenced  on  Mondar.  Six  himdred 
iloleirates  were  present  from  the  different  courts 
and  datricis  throughout  England.  Among  the 
subjects  discussed  were  certain  changes  in  the 
Constitution  of  the  order  proposed  by  the  Sub- 
sidiary High  Court  of  the  United  Slates,  Tvhioh 
the  ConncU  decided  against,  because  proper  no- 
tice of  the  proposition  had  not  been  ^ven  by 
the  American  brethren.  One  of  the  most  in- 
teresting r,l  the  many  attractions  at  the  Alex- 
andra Palace  on  Monday  was  the  collection  of 
falcona  and  hawks  belonplngto  Capt.  P.  S.  Dnjr- 
more,  who  has  recently  shown  ns  that  the  royal 
and  picturesque  game  of  hawking  has  not  yet 
died  out.  The  game  was  a  povmar 
pa!<ti»ie  even  in  the  days  of  Harold  the  King, 
and  the  old  pictares  of  English  and  French 
chivalry  are  full  of  reminiscences  of  it  Capt. 
Dusrmore's  birds  are  well  trained,  and  their  ei- 
lilbitions  at  ?*  dead  lures  "  give  one  a  complete 
idea  of  the  sport  in  its  integrity.  It  la  believed 
tlmt  Messrs.  Roberts,  the  new  lessees  of  the 
Alexandra  Palace,  are  makine  the  rival  of 
Sydenham  pay.  The  Westminster  Aquarium 
Directors  have  declined  their  offer  to  farm  that 
establishment,  the  Directors  of  which  continue 
to  bold  stormy  meetings  to  consider  and  pro- 
vido  for  the  looses  which  .  have  been  made  by 
the  management.  Mr.  Robertson  appears  to 
be  working  bard  in  obtaining  new  attractions, 
and  his  supporters  say  the  establishment  during 
the  last  lew  months  has  been  conducted 
T.t  a  profit  for  the  first  time.  "  Zazel,"  a  grace- 
ful young  lady,  who  is  fired  from  a  cannon,  tho 
Invention  of  an  American  doctor,  is  the  hit  of 
fhe  season,  though  Pongo,  the  gotilla,  threatens 
10  divide  the  honors  of  the  time  with  her. 
Buckland.  tlie  naturalist  who  opposes  Darwin's 
theory,  has  been  invited  to  lecture  on  Pongo. 
If  he  complies,  an  effort  will  be  made  to  get 
Darwin  to  answer  him.  A  controversy  of  this 
kind,  conducted  in  the  monkey's  presence, 
would  be  peculiarly  interesting. 

*•  The  Dead  Secret,"  said  to  have  been  writ- 
ten by  Mr.  Wllkie  Collins  for  the  Lycenm  The- 
atre, is  not  solely  the  work  of  that  popular  nov- 
eli.st  and  dramatist.  lUrs.  Bateman  (who  did 
the  version  of  •'  Fanchette,"  produced  duringthe 
first  days  of  her  husband's  management  of  this 
thtatre)  is  the  real  author  or  adapter  of  '•  The 
Dead  Secret."  Mr.  Collins  has  revised  it.  In 
addition  to  his  dramatic  version  of  "  The  Moon- 
stone," to  be  produced  at  the  Olympic,  Mr. 
Collins  is  writing  a  new  and  oriirinal  drama  for 
Miss  Ada  Cavendish.  Mme.  Celeste,  who  must 
be  nearly  70,  is  to  play  the  boy  in  WUIs'  ver- 
.sion  of  ■■  Peverll  ot  the  Peak,"  for  which  they 
are  now  painting  the  scenery  at  Drury  Lane. 
-Mme.  Celeste  wa»  the  ueroine  of  many  of  the 
most  successful  melodramas  played  at  the  .\del- 
phi  in  the  hcydav  of  Webster's  management. 
Her  J/iomi  in  v"  "the  Green  Bushes"  is  a  delight- 
ful memory  to^scores  of  gray-headed  plav-goers ; 
but  it  is  neither  fair  to  herself,  her  reputation, 
nor  to  the  public,  this  proposed  melancholy 
burlesque  of  youth. 

Jlr.  Burgess,  of  Moore  and  Burgess'  Minstrels. 
rave  a  gardenparty  at  his  pretty  house  near 
rinehiey  on  Tuesdav.  to  welcome  home  Mrs. 
and  Mr.  Parjeon.  A  large  company,  connected 
ftliifefly  with  dramatic  art.  assembled  together 
r.n  the  occasion.  Mr.  .Joseph  Jefferson  was 
present  during  the  early  part  of  the  evening. 
■■  The  happy  pair"  looked  well,  and  it  is  said 
they  intend  to  accompany  Mr.  Jefferson  to  the 
United  States  in  the  Autumn.  Everybody  is 
forry  that  this  great  artist  did  not  appear  at 
the  Haymarket  in  some  important  piece.  Farces 
are  all  very  well  for  Toole  and  Terry,  but 
Jefferson  is  ensljrined  in  a  higher  niche  of  art 
lh.\n  that  into  which  low  comedians  are  placed. 
He  doe.s  not,  he  says,  give  us  his  versions  of 
some  of  the  great  modem  creations  of  English 
fiction,  such  as  yewman  Kaggs,  because  his 
ilnglish  audiences  might  not  consider  them 
True  to  the  London  ideal  ;  biit  I  think  he  would 
find  his  public  here  q-.tite  as  ready  to  accept  and 
TRCognize  the  merits  of  the  great  actor  in 
v.hiitever  rfile  he  selected,  whether  they  agreed 
with  his  own  particular  views  of  a  particular 
rli'irai-rer  or  not.  For  example,  many  of  Mr. 
Heary  Irving's  most  sincere  admirers  object  to 
his  Mftf'jfth  and  to  his  Otb'^Uo,  but  they  accept 
his  interpretations  as  highly  interesting  and 
ia.stmetive,  aud  his  earnestness  is  found  suf- 
ficient tn  carry  any  part  he  may  select  to  play. 
Mr.  Jefferson  would  make  no  mistake  if  be 
Jayed  his  entire  reiiertoire  in  England,  where 
Itb  oc*-iipies  with  Irving  the  foremost  rank, 
llis  Rip  is  regarded  by  jiidicious  critics  as  a 
finer  performance  than  Salvini's  Othtllo,  and 
his  artistii-  repose  has  had  a  considerable  effect 
upon  En;!ish  actiiig.  The  best  artists  in  Lon-

strained ;o  say  tlittt  the  mental  training  wa»  very 
tutl-'lfuctorj-.  These  pupils-  will  certainly  exert  a 
Titmenduous  inlluence  over  their  race.  As  to 
whether  tlmt  iatiaence  will  be  for  good  or  ill  is  hb 
jet  mt-ro  probletaaticaL  Heretofore  most  of  the 
Hirroiuidir.^  of  these  people  have  tended  to  drag 
t;ieuiaway  tromtis,  to  alienate  their  affections  from 
i!:a  Stale,  and  embitter  them  against  her 
i  istitntious.  This  has  been  most  unfortunate 
for  ^Ute  and  people,  and  it  is  highly  impor- 
tant iliiin  their  allegmnce  and  love  be  secured  to  the 
ItOQie  Govemment.  Until  this  Is  done  they  will  al- 
wavs  be  iudlfferent  and  troublesome  citizens.  The 
rftr't)c:.-bagi:ers  and  others  who  exerted  s  bad  in-

bers oi  thf  board  thonght  toat  the  animus  of  the  pu-

feeiiiiss  were  clearly  Lgaiust  us,  almost  wholly  alien-

I'.ruwiag  tlie  State  aid  and  nsine  it  for  a  normal 
sphool  tftupht  by  our  own  people  has  been  discussed 
und  j>rw*.sod.  But  the  board  think  now 
.=udi  a  course  would  be  un'wise,  as  It  would 
crtate  dU<s.i:isfttction  and  further  alienation,  be 
cause  they  iiccepted  this  aid  in  lieu  of  their  claim  on 
ihe  Government  land  scrip.  They  aeem  much  at- 
lachcti  to  the  school,  and  for  the  present  they  will 
lake  uistrurtion  from  Northern  teachers  more  readily 
and  confidently  than  they  would  from  ua.  The  board 
bua:zc8t.  howover,  that  our  authorities  insist  that 
these  Northern  teachers  do  not  try  to  allen»te  them 
from  old  muaters  and  homes,  and  from  their  native 
•State,  or  even  use  such  instruction,  or  place  around 
them  such  iulluences  (by  sectional  books,  Ac.)  as 
will  liftve  that  tendeney.  Probably  the  present  teach- 
er?  are  not  so  ear»fal  in  this  rei^eet  as  the  Intareiiti

Washington,  Aug.  18. — Dispatehoa  re- 
ceived at  the  Navy  Department  from  Rear-Ad- 
miral Eeynolds,  commanding  tho  Asiatic  Squad- 
ron, give  an  interesting  account  of  the  celebra- 
tion of  the  Fourth  of  July  by  the  officers  and 
crews  of  the  United  States  vessels  in  those 
waters.  At  night  our  vessels  were  illuminated, 
and  other  foreign  ships  of  war  joined  in  the  il- 
lumination as  a  mark  of  courtesy  to  the  United 
States.  The  Unite<l  States  steamer  Alert  ar- 
rived at  Hong  Kong  on  the  24  h  of  July  from 
her  late  cruise  to  the  Dampier  Straits.  This 
vessel,  it  will  he  remembered,  was  sent  out  by 
Admrali  Reynolds  some  time  ago  to  search  for 
10  or  12  peraon.s  reported  to  have  been  ship- 
wrecked and  found  shelter  on  an  island  near 
the  Dampier  Straits.  Admiral  Reynolds  had 
not  received  the  particulars  of  the  cruise  at  the 
time  he  wrote. 

Special  Agent  Chamberlin  has  submitted 
his  report  of  an  investigation  of  alleged  fraud- 
ulent colored  sugars  imported  at  the  I'orts  of 
Boston,  New-York.  Philadelphia,  and  Bal- 
timore. He  fiuris  that  this  cia.'is  of  sugars 
are  imported  at  all  the  ports  named, 
but  in  larger  quantities  at  New-York 
than  elsewhere.  He  consulted  sugar  mer- 
chants and  refiners  at  all  of  the  ports  named, 
and  all  of  them  concur  in  the  statement  that 
the  Demera.-a  sugars  known  in  the  market  re- 
ports as  "Clark  crystals."  are  artificially  coloird 
for  the  American  market  for  the  purpose 
of  reducing  the  rate  of  duty  tnereon. 
These  su^rs  will  polarize  higher  than  any 
other  sugars  known  to  the  trade,  and  if  their 
importati<m  is  to  be  allowed  without  check  by 
the  Government  it  will  work  great  injury  to  re- 
finers who  do  not  u.'e  them,  and  rediice  the 
amount  of  duties  collected  very  largely.  Many 
persons  engaged  in  the  sugar  trade  state  that 
these  Dememra  sugars  are  refined  almost  to  the 
purity  of  rock  candy  by  the '  same  process  used  - 
in  purging  the  crystal  from  impurities,  but 
it  ia  doubtful  whether  they  should  be  classed  as 
refined  sugars  in  the  commercial  sense. 

The  Kiver  and  Harbor  Appropriation  bill 
of  Aug.  li.  187G,  appropriated  $100,000  for 
the  improvf-meat  of  the  mouth  of  the  31is.>iis.- 
siopi  Kiver,  provided  that  the  appropriation 
shall  not  be  available  whenever  .ind  so  long  as 
there  sliall  be  an  open  channel  of  18  feet  of 
water,  at  mean  tide,  to  and  from  the  sea, 
through  the  south  pass  of  the  river  to  the  port 
of  New-Orleans.  Capt.  Brown,  the  engineer 
officer  in  charge  of  the  work,  has  reported  to 
the  Secretary  of  War  that  tho  survey  has  been 
made  and  a  channel  cf  lioO  feet  in  width  and 
18  feet  in  depth  exists.  The  Secretary  of  War 
has,  therefore,  directed  that  all  further  expend- 
itures of  the  $100,000.  above  referred  to,  be 
suspended,  and  the  order  has  been  transmitted 
to  Major  Howell,  the  ofiicer  in  charge  of  all  im- 
provements at  the  month  of  the  Mississippi 
except  the  EaJs  jettiea  at  the  south  pass. 

In  response  to  a  commtmication  from  the 
Commissioner  of  the  General  Land  Office  in 
reference  to  depredations  upon  the  public  tim- 
ber lands  of  the  L^nited  States,  the  Secretary  of 
the  Interior  has  directed  that  clerks  be  detailed 
from  the  land  office,  or  a  sufficient  number  of 
persons  be  employed  to  visit  the  different  States 
and  Territories  where  depredations  have  been 
committed,  with  instructions  to  obtain  such

stating  that  while  he  was  Treasured  of  Susdex

gartieipation  in,  a  defalcation  in  his  office.  An 
ivestigation  was  ordered  by  the  Trcsirary  De- 
partment, which  has  resulted  in  a  dismissal  of 
the  charges,  it  being  shown  that  the  misappro- 
priation of  funds  was  by  a  subordinate,  entirely 
without  anv  knowledge  by  the  Treasurer,  and 
that  that  o&cer  repaid  the  stolen  funds  to  the

ANNUAL  PICNIC  OP  THE  PKIENDS'  SOCIETY — 
A  GREAT  GALA  DAY  IN  SOUTHERN  ULSTER 
— THE  SECT  INCttEASINO. 

EONDOUT,  Aug.  18. — The  Friends  of 
Lower  Ulster  are  making  ready  for  their  annual 
picnic,  which  is  held  in  James  H.  Coutant's 
grove,  two  miles  from  the  village  of  Modena, 
on  the  31st  of  this  month.  This  is  the  great 
event  of  the  year  with  this  sect,  and  annually 
draws  to  the  grove  every  Quaker  in  the  county 
and  a  large  concourse  of  outsiders,  so  that  the 
assemblage  usually  numbers  between  5,000  and 
10,000  people.  The  exercises  last  all  day,  and 
are  furnished  by  the  children  of  the  Sabbath- 
whools.  'These  schools  are  pronounced  by  the 
County  Missionary  the  best  in  tbe  county. 
The  entire  family  attend  the  regular  Sunday 
sessions,  the  older  members  taking  as  much  in- 
terest as  the  children.  The  latter  are  trained 
during  the  greater  portion  of  the  year  for  the 
public  exercises  at  t.'ie  grove,  especially  in  loud 
speaking,  and  even  the  younger  lads  succeed  in 
making  themselves  rlistinctly  heard  by  the 
of   the   assembly.      "' 


moiit  of  the  assembly.  Ihe  eseroses  are 
held  on  a  stand  erected  in  tho  centre 
of  the  grove,  which  is  put  in  order 
specially  for  the  annual  picnic.  There  is  no 
singing  by  the  schools,  but  a  great  variety  of 
de(Uamation.s,  dialogues,  and  like  efforts,  which 
are  listened  to  with  ^reat  delight  by  all  who 
can  get  within  the  circle  of  hearing  distance. 
It  is  noted  that  the  children  in  performing  some 
of  the"  pieces  have  a  subdued  fondness  for  styl- 
ish colors,  and  in  one  piece  a  couple  of  years 
ago,  a  "rainbow"  exercise  was  presented  in 
which  all  the  colors  were  given  in  the  dresses. 

For  the  older  people  the  best  speakers  in  the 
sect — that  of  the  orthodox  Quakers — are  se- 
cured, and  the  speaking,  is  alwavs  of  a  high 
order.  The  Friends  are  very  numerous  in  the 
Towns  of  Marlborough  and  Plattekill.  and  there 
are  a  largo  number  in  Selovd,  New-Paltz, 
Sbawanf:^uk,  and  Uardiner.  The  denomina- 
tion is  extending  In  Ulster  County,  and  is 
stronger  than  it  was  a  few  years  ago.  It  has 
lately  revived  a  meeting-house  on  Rosendale 
Plains,  which  is  supplied  by  a  committee  from 
the  lower  towns.  A  few  years  since  the  Friends 
would  not  allow  musical  instruments  in 
their  houses,  and  opposed  Stmday-sohools, 
but  now  they  have  seven  schools  in  the 
county,  and  pianos  can  be  found  in 
their  dwellings.  There  is  no  singing  in  the 
schools,  but  it  is  not  forbidden,  and  If  anybody 
be  moved  to  strike  up  i  hymn,  it  is  freely  per- 
mitted. The  Friends  are  now  taking  MHis  to 
give  their  children  a  ^  classical  education,  and 
their  evangelists  are  doing  the  largest  work,  in 
proportion  to  their  numbers,  of  any  in  the 
country.  The  Quakers  are  universally  held  as 
among  the  most  worthy  of  our  citizens.  Their 
hospitality  has  become  proverbial,  and  no 
traveler  or  solicitor  of  alms  is  ever  turned  away 
from  their  doors  emptv-handed.  None  of  the 
Friends  are  ever  found  in  the  poor-house. 
They  are  very  exact  in  their  dealings,  but  no 
charge  is  ever  made  for  entertainment  of 
gt(Tinger»  whom  they  furnish  with  food  and 
lodjfiiig.        ^ 

GREAT  SUl<'DAY-SCnOOh  OATffERiyG. 
EoNDOUT,  Aug.  IS. — The  Sunday-school 
Convention  at  Nesley  Grove,  near  Neelytown, 
In  Orange  County,  was  the  first  ever  held  In  the 
county,  but  it  proved  a  great  success,  drawing 
largely  from  all  parts  of  Orange  and  the  lower 
towns  of  Ulster.  Thursday  was  children's  day, 
and  on  that  day  the  schools  were  very  largely 
represented,  the  spacious  amphitheatre  u£ed  as 
an  auditorium  being  full  to  its  remotest 
part,  and  it  is  eitimated  that  there  were  fully 
7,000  persons  present  The  wagons  of.  those 
who  came  from  the  immediate  vicinity  covered 
three  acres  of  ground,  and  the  cars  brought  im- 
mense loads.  The  grove  is  very  convenient  of 
access,  the  carsrunningwithlQacoupleof  rods  of 
the  entrance  to  the  grove.  The  exercises  were  in 
charge  of  Prof.  William  P.  Sherwin,  a  Newark 
composer  of  Sunday-school  music,  and  Rev. 
Dr.  Fish  entertained  the  children  with  a  largo 
collection  of  views  in  Palestine  and  a  display  of 
Oriental  costumes,  which  afforded  them  great 
deUeht.  Speeches  were  delivered  by  Revs. 
Dickson,  Fletcher  and  King.  The  convention 
was  in  every  respect  a  success,  and  will  proba- 
bly be  made  an  annual  one.  The  regular  camp- 
meeting  of  tho  Newburg  district  commences 
at  this  grove  on  the  24tb  and  continues  till'  the 
31st  inst.,  at  which  some  of  the  most  eminent 
men  in  the  Methodist  denomination  will  be 
present,  and  every  church  in  the  district  will 
M  represented^

Sakatooa,  N.  T.,  Ang.  18.— The  fourth  day 
<^  the  August  me«tlng  did  not  dawn  propltlqaslr,  for 
th«  rain  which  fell  daring  the  eib-lj  hoan  of  the 
morning  was  disappointing  to  the  thonsands  who  ex- 
pected to  enjoy  a  fine  day's  sport  to  finish  np  the 
week.  However,  the  rain  ceased  In  time  to  avoid  a 
postpcmement,  but  heavy  banlcs  of  cloud  eontiinied  to 
hang  about  the  horisoo,  and  occasioned  moch  anx* 
ietj.  Shortly-  after  11  o'clock  the  nm  made  its 
appearance,  the  ladies  ventured  to  make  the  journey 
to  the  course,  and  the  grand  stand  waa  again  crowded 
with  a  hrilllant  array  of  spectators,  which  was  an 
agreeable  staprise  to  the  managers.  The  sport  for* 
nished  was  trolly  excellent,  and  made  more  exdUng 
by  a  forioas  rain-storm  which  prev^ed  TrtiUe  the 
two-mils  race  was  under  way.  The  favorites  made  a 
little  better  show  to-day,  and  two  of  them  brought  their 
backers  out  safely.  Evsns,  the  English  jockey,  was 
very  fortunate  In  winning  the  first  three  races,  which 
will  enhance  his  reputation  greatly,  as  he  efaowed  con- 
siderable skill.  The  three-quarter'daah  was  taken  by 
Rhadamanthus  in  1:15%^  which,  with  122  pounds  np, 
is  by  far  the  best  race  yet  run.  The  mutual  pools 
paid  $12 -60.  The  second  race  was  taken  by  Oriole, 
beating  Bradamonte,  the  favorite,  very  easily,  and 
the  tickets  on  her  paid  $19  80.  Galwavwon  the 
two  miles  in  the  mud,  his  first  victory  here,  and  the 
fortunate  possessors  of  his  UcketB  won  928  80.  The 
favorite  Bipp&hannoek  captured  the  selllag  race,  and 
thp  tickets  on  him  were  worth  $11  80.  Indeed,  a 
more  successful  day  has  not  been  seen  on  this  course 
during  the  present  meeting,  and  the  spectators  left 
apparently  delighted  with  the  ent^rtainQient.  as 
doubtless  many  of  them  had  never  seen  a  race  in  a 
storm.    The  following  are  the  details  of  the  sport: 

THE  THBEE-QtJABTER  DASH- 
The  day's  entertainment  began  with  a  dash  of 
three-qnartersof  a  mile,  with  ^owances  to  m^dens 
of  4  years  old  and  upward.  There  were  seven  en- 
tries, bat  as  Dan  K.  and  Bradamante  were  also  en- 
tered in  the  second  race,  the  speculators  not  in  the 
confidence  of  those  stables  were  somewhat  chary  of 
putting  their  money  on.  When  the  jockeys  weighed 
in,  however,  Bradamante  was  discovered  to  be  the 
only  absentee,  and  those  wbo  appeared  to  receive 
the       attention       of      the      starter      were      Vir- 

g'nlos,  Dan  K.,  African  Maid,  Rhadamanthus, 
ertram,  and  the  Glen  Athol  flUy.  In  the  pools  Rhad- 
amanthus was  the  favorite,  as  a  three-ooarter  dash 
is  his  forte.  Re  brought  $200,  while  tne  West*-m 
colt.  Dan  K.,  was  well  supported  as  a  strong  second 
choice  at  $165,  Virginias  at  $155,  Bertram  for 
$(>0,  and  the  field,  comprising  African  Maid  and  the 
(ilen  Athol  filly,  at  $40.  Tbey  were  mastered  in  the 
chute,  and  theru  was  a  long  delay  before  they  could 
be  got  In  line,  owing  to  the  fractious  dinposition  of 
Virginius.  and  the  determlnalion  of  Saj-rea  to  get  off 
first  with  Dan  K.  It  was  now  12:30.  and  the  people 
began  to  manifest  their  impatience,  when  Mr. 
Grouse  succeeded  in  getting  them  off,  but  somewhat 
strBgcllng,  RhsrtBmanthus  being  first,  Dan  K.  sec- 
ond. Bertram  third,  African  Moid  fourth.  Glen  Athol 
filly  fifth,  and  Virginius  in  the  rear.  As  they  ran 
down  the  chute  Virginius  ran  up  to  the  tliird  place, 
but  fell  back  again  behind  African  Maid.  Taming 
into  the  regular  track  at  the  half-mile  pole,  Rhada- 
manthus was  but  a  neck  in  front  of  Dan  IC.  who  was 
two  lengths  ahead  of  African  Maid,  followed  by  Vir- 
ginius. As  they  ran  arc  and  the  lower  turn,  Dan  K. 
got  even  with  Rluulamanthus.  and  then  forged 
to  the  front  of  tho  favorite  half  a 
length,  while  a  length  and  a  half  behind  was  African 
!^Iuid.  leading  Virginius  half  a  length.  Dan  K.  turned 
into  the  home  stretch  Ktill  leading  Rhadamanthus,  but 
the  pace  was  a  killing  one.  ana  after  reaching  the 
furlong-pole  Dan  K.  showed  tho  white  feather,  and 
Khadamauthns  cnme  away  to  a  most  commanding 
load.  ITien  Vlrcinlus  passed  Dan  K.  and  endeavored 
to  get  near  to  Rhadamanrhus.  but  without  success, 
the  latter  beating  hira  out  by  three  lengths,  in  the  re- 
markable time  of  1:1512,  the  best  three-quarters  ever 
run  with  the  weight. 

THE   MILE  AXn  AX    EIGHTH. 

The  second  event  of  tht*  day  was  the  dash  of  a  mile 
and  an  eighth  for  3-year  olds,  which  had  foxir 
nominations,  and  three  »f  them  faced  the  starter. 
Although  Bradamante  carried  a  penalty  of  seven 
pounds,  she  was  the  commanding'  favorite  and  brought 
her  backers  to  grief.  She  bold  mthe  pools  for  $325, 
(>riole$135.andMaiorBarker$65.  They  were  started 
f n>Di  the  furlong  pole  on  even  terms,  and  when  they 
rfmie  to  the  stand  Major  Barker  and  Oriole  were 
head  and  head,  a  length  and  a  half  in  front  of  Brad- 
amante. Going  round  tlie  turn  Msjor  Barker  rushed 
CO  the  front,  and  took  a  lead  of  a  length  ahead  of 
Oriole,  who  was  two  lengths  in  advance  of  Brad- 
amante. When  they  reached  the  quarter  pole  Major 
Barker  was  still  a  length  in  front  of  Onole.  wiule 
Bradamante  had  fallen  three  lengths  behind.  When 
they  bepan  the  journey  down  the  back  stretch  Evans 
let  Onole  have  her  head,  and  she  speodUy 
moved  up  and  passed  Barker,  and  then  continued  to 
open  the  ^ap  until  they  reached  the  half-mile  pole, 
where  Oriole  was  three  lengths  ahead.  Coming 
round  the  lower  turn.  Bradamanto  gave  Barker  the 
go-by  as  he  showed  signal  of  distress,  and  began  the 
chsso  after  Oriole.  tShe  grailuoUy  closed  upon  the 
latter  nntil  Oriole  led  but  a  length  at  the  three-quar- 
ter pole ;  but  when  they  turned  into  the  stretch 
Oriole  still  held  the  advantage.  On  tho  straight 
run  home  Walker  used  every  effort  to  get 
Bradamante  up  to  Oriole,  but  it  was  useless,  and 
when  fae  drew  his  wl-.ip  there  was  great  cheering 
among  the  friends  of  the  Maryland  stable,  aa  it  was 
evident  that  the  Kouthem  favorite  was  beaten. 
Oriole  won  it  in  hand  by  a  length,  and  Major  Barker 
was  beaten  off  some  20  length:^.    The  time  was  1:5U- 

THE  TWO  MILES. 
The  next  event  to  bo  decided  was  a  free  handicap  ; 
sweepstakes,  for  all  aces,  of  two  miles,  which 
brought  out  Viceroy,  tralway,  Ambush,  Glasgow, 
Clenimie  G-.  and  CloverbVook.  Aa  the  horses  came 
upon  the  track  a  bea\7  storm,  which  had  been 
threatening  for  some  time,  broke  over  the  cotirse, 
and  the  min  pelted  down  pitilessly,  wetting  the 
jockeys  through  to  the  skin.  In  the  porls  Viceroy 
was  the  favorite  Ht  $160,  Cloverbrook  bringing 
•$135,  Galway  $100.  Clemmie  G.  9100,  Glasgow 
$70,  and  Ambush  $60.  Under  the  protection  of  an 
umbrella  )Ir.  Crooae  was  forttinate  m  giving  them  a 
good  start,  and  away  they  ran  through 
the  rain,  with  Glasgow  slightly  in  front  of 
Clemmle,  with  the  others  close  together. 
Running  around  the  turn  Clemmie  G.  went  to  the 
front,  and  took  a  decided  lead  of  two  lengths.  Clover- 
brook  going  to  the  second  plsce,  followed  by  Am- 
bush, the  others  in  a  ruck.  As  tbey  proceeded  to  the 
quarter  pole  the  storm  Increased,  and  the  rain  poured 
mercilessly  until  the  colors  of  tlie  jockeys'  garments 
became  barely  visible,  «ven  with  a  powerful  glass. 
They  were  running  in  the  same  Order  past  the  quar- 
ter, and  when  i  hev  went  along  the  buck 
stretch  Clemmie  G.  increased  her  lead  to  threo 
lengths,  while  Ambush  took  the  second 
place  from  Cloverbrook,  and  Barbee  'Wihs  whipping 
l)im  to  warm  bim  up  to  his  work.  He  closed  with 
the  others  upon  Clemmie  G..  and  when  they  reached 
the  half-mile  pole  the  latter  was  showing  the  route 
two  lengths  ahead  of  Ambush,  who  was  half  a  length 
before  tHoverbrook,  followed  by  the  others  In  a  ruck. 
The  first  three  ran  in  the  same  order  round  the  lower 
turn,  and  Clemmie  G.  led  them  to  tho  furlong  pole. 
Tliey  came  up  the  stretch  splosh !  splash !  splash ! 
.  throwing  themud  without  regard  to  consequences.  Tho 
course  was  reduced  to  a  river  by  this  time,  and  they 
were  received  with  much  applause  as  they  finished 
the  first  mile,  which  was  run  m  1:40.  Ambush  was 
leading  by  half  a  length.  Clemmie  G.  second,  a 
length  in  advance  of  Viceroy  and  Galway,  who 
were  head  and  head,  followed  by  Cloverbrook,  who 
had  been  puUed  back,  and  Glasgow  two  lengths  in 
the  rear.  Going  round  the  turn  a^ain.  Ambush 
pushed  out  a  length  in  front  of  Clemtme  G.,  who  was 
the  same  distance  before  Galway,  who  was  lead- 
ing Viceroy  by  a  neck,  and  at  their  heels  was 
Cloverbrook.  They  were  In  the  same  positions  at 
the  quarter  pole,  but  as  they  w^ut  along  the  back 
stretch  Evans  urged  Galw&v  to  the  front  and  he  was 
soon  showing  a  lead  of  halt  a  length  ;  but  Ambush 
came  up  aga^,  and  for  a  moment  tney  were  on  even 
terms,  three  It-nrths  ahead  of  Clemmie  G.  At  the 
half-mile  polo  Galway  was  In  the  lead  again,  and  ou 
the  lower  tnm  ne  pushed  a  full  lencth  in 
the  van.  and  threw  mud,  as  if  in  disdain, 
upon  bis  pursuers,  who  were  Viceroy.  Am- 
bush, and  Clemmie  G.,  on  even  terms  with 
Cloverbrook,  just  behind  them,  and  Glasgow  pumped 
out  a  dozen  or  more  lengths  behind.  When  they 
came  splashing  and  wallowing  up  the  stretch  again 
Galwa  '  remained  In  front.  Cloverbrook  came  up  on 
the  inside  gamelv  and  Clemmie  G.  on  the  outside  of 
the  track,  both  looking  very  dangerotis.  There  was 
a  splendid  struggle  through  the  mud  between  the 
trio,  which  aroused  the  enthustsem  of  the  spectators 
to  a  high  pitch.  Galwnv,  however,  succeeding  in 
reaching  the  goal  half  a  length  in  front  oi  Clover- 
brook, who  was  a  neck  aliead  of  Clemmie  G,  with 
Ambush  fourth,  close  up.  Viceroy  fifth,  and  Glasgow 
beaten  off.  The  time  was  3:40^4,  which  was  an  ex- 
cellent race  under  the  circumstances.  The  jockeys 
were  soaked  with  water,  and  some  of  them  presented 
a  sorry  sight  with  their  faces  and  olothes  bespattered 
with  mud. 

THE    SELLINO  BAGS. 

The  concluding  event  of  the  day  was  a  selling  race 
of  a  mile  and  a  quarter,  for  all  c«es,  which  brotight 
out  Rappahannock,  Cardinal  WoUey,  Mechanic,  and 
the  brother  to  Willie  Burke.  Rappahannock  had 
much  the  best  of  the  wt^ghts,  and  was,  therefore,  the 
favorite  at  $323  ;  Cardinal  Wolsey.  $265  :  Brother 
to  Burke,   $105,   and  Mechanic,    $Ud.      They  had  a 

food  startl  from  the  tliree  quarter  pole  after  once 
reakihg  away,  and  coming  up  the  stretch  Mechanic 
forced  the  pace,  but  Rappahannock  was  not  going  to 
let  the  youngster  get  far  away  from  him.  WTien 
they  reached  the  stand  Mechanic  was  leading  Rappa- 
haimock  half  a  length,  and  two  lengths  behind  the 
latter  was  Cardinal  Wolsey,  half  a  loigth  in  advance 
of  Smythe's  colt.  As  they  wont  round  tho  torn  Me- 
chanic poshed  a  length  in  front  of  Rappahannock, 
but  the  latter  gradually  closed  upon  him,  and  when 
they  readied  the  quarter  pole  they  were  on  even 
terms,  two  lengths  in  front  of  Wolsey.  When  they 
beganthe  journey  along  the  back  stretch  Mechanic 
again  shook  off  Rappahannock,  but  the  effort  eost 
hLn  dear,  for  he  began  to  tqnlrm  a  little  further  on, 
and  when  they  reached  the  half-mile  pole  Rappahan- 
nock was  leading  him  two  lengths,  while  Wouey  and 
Smythe's  eoltelosediq>oa  him-  On  the  lower  turn  Rap- 
pah«asod(  led  his  competitors  (who  were  together)  a

THE  DES  MOISES  RAPIDS, 


PtTRTHEB  COXCER^IXO  TBE  GO  VERKMENT 
CANAL  AT  KEOKUK — ITS  EXTENT,  COST, 
A^'D     ADVANTAGES— ITS  OPENING  TO   BE 

CELEBRATED  WEDNESDAY. 

JVoTH  the  Chicago  Tribune. 

Keoece,  Iowa,  Atig.  16. 

The  canal  which  the  Government  has  con- 
Btracted  to  overcome  the  obstruction  to  navigation 
caused  by  tho  Dea  Moines  Rapids  in  the  Mississippi 
at  this  point  will  be  formally  opened  with  suitable 
ceremonies  on  Wednesday,  Aug.  22.  The  canal  ex- 
tends along  the  Iowa  shore  from  Keolrak  to  Nash- 
ville, a  distance  of  seven  and  six-tenths  miles.  Is  300 
feet  wide  in  embankment  and  250  feet  wide  in  ex- 
cavation. ;  Tnin*")""'  depth  of  water,  5  feet ;  max- 
imum depth.  8  feet,  which  Is  suflacient  to  float  the 
largest  steamers  that  ply  the  waters  of  the  Upper 
MiflsiaaipDl-  The  embankment  inclosing  the  canal  ia 
10  feet  in  width  on  top,  with  a  rip-rap  covering  2 
feet  tMck  and  carried  2  feet  above  extreme  high- 
water  mark.  The  fall  in  the  entire  distance  which 
the  canal  extends  is  1.S75  feet. 

There  are  two  lift-locks  and  one  guard-lock,  each 
350  fe*t  long  and  80  feet  wide  on  top.  Those  are 
built  of  solid  cut-stone  masonrj-,  and  are  pronounced 
by  experts  who  have  examined  them  to  be  very  sub- 
stoQtml  and  highly  creditable  specimerjs  of  engineer- 
ing skilL  Sluices  of  sufflcient  capacity  to  control 
the  surplus  water  carried  into  the  canal  by  the  nu- 
merous streams  emptying  therein  during  their  fre- 
quent floods  are  built  around  the  locks.  These  were 
not  included  in  the  original  estimate,  and  have 
materially  increased  the  cost  cf  tlie  work. 

The  machinery  for  operating  the  lock-gate<s  and 
wickets  is  made  from  an  origmal  design  of  Major 
Amos  Stickuey,  the  officer  In  local  charge  of  the  im- 
provement. This  plan  consists  of  a  system  of 
Bpillies.  chains,  and  wire  rones  operated  by  "means  of 
a  pump  forcing  the  water  into  hydrauhc  cylinders 
sunk  behind  the  walls  back  of  each  gate,  connected 
by  means  of  iron  pipes  with  an  engine  situated  near 
the  head  of  the  lock,  so  that  one  man  at  the  engine 
CAD  handle  the  massive  gates  and  wickets  with  ease 
and  precision. 

Tho  original  estimate  for  this  improvement  was 
$3,390,000.  which  estimate,  bad  Congress  promptly 
appropriated  the  desired  sums  and  not  pottered  along 
With  inadequate  and  petty  proportions  of  the  amount 
of  money  known  to  be  required,  would  have  been 
amrly  sufiScient.  But  througlx  the  practice  of  cut- 
ting down  the  amonnta  asked  for  from  50  to  75  per 
cent,  each  year,  the  workha4l>eun delayed,  aud  heavy 
losses  have  been  inoorred  from  high  water  overflows 
and  uatui^  waste,  so  that  the  canal  has  e<rat  the 
Government  so  far  $4,281,000.  It  is  estimated 
that  $100,000  will  ^ot  be  reouired  to  finish  the 
work,  and  Congress  will  be  aakea  to  make  an  appro- ; 
priation  of  thia  amouut  at  the  next  session. 

Tlie  work  has  been  performed  partially  by  eon- 
tract  and  partially  by  labor  employed  by  the  Govern- 
ment. A  eoraparison  of  tho  cost  of  diflforent  kinds  of 
work  show  a  large  balance  in  favor  of  the  labor  liired 
by  the  United  States,  and  an  extract  from  the  report 
of  the  officer  in  charge  in  reference  to  it  says  he  is 
"  justified  in  aajing  that  it  is  by  far  the  beat  plan  for 
the  United  States  to  do  this  class  of  work  by  their 
own  employes.  It  has  cost  much  leas  than  the  con- 
tract work  ou  the  Improvement."  Tlie  work  was 
inaugurated  on  the  Slh  of  October.  1807.  Owine  to 
the  inadequacy  of  the  appropriations  and  the  delays 
and  damage  incident  thereto,  It  has  been  prosecuted 
at  irregular  intervals,  and  has  occupied  10  years, 
whereas  it  might  have  been  accomplished  in  five. 

In  addtUou  to  the  canal  proper  a  iaige  amount  of 
rock  has  been  excavated  from  the  bed  of  the  river 
above  the  guard-lock  in  order  to  deepen  the  channel. 
The  section  work  has  oonsiBted  cf  earth  and  rock  ex- 
cavation in  the  prism  of  the  cjinol  and  the  construc- 
tion of  the  embankment  and  rip-rap  walls.  The  im- 
provement is  of  incalctilable  importance  to  the  navi-

LISON  OF  THE  WINNING  CLXTB. 
The  Red  Stockings  of  Gineiimati  were  agmin 
badly  beaten  by  the  Brooklyn-Hartfotds.  on  the 
Union  Groimds,  yesterday  afternoon.  It  was  the 
sixth  game  between  the  contesting  nines,  and  was 
witneased  by  a  very  small  assemblage,  scarcely  200 
poMona  being  present  when  play  was  eaUed.  Tho 
visiting  club  was  in  mooh  better  form  than  on  Fri< 
day,  as  It  was  strengthened  by  the  proaenee  of  its 
regular  catcher,  Hastings,  who  supported  the  pitch- 
ing of  Cmnmlngs  and  Booth  in  excellent  style. 
The  Hartfords  played  a  fair  fielding  game, 
and  their  batting  was  of  the  first  order. 
Play  was  called  by  the  umpire,  Mr.  Ducharme.  of 
the  Hudson  Club,  at  4:10  P.  M.,  with  the  Tlsitors,  as 
is  the  custom,  in  the  field.  The  eontest  opened  fa- 
vorably for  the  Cincinnati  players,  who  secured  a 
run  tn  the  first  inning  on  a  base-hit  by  Mapyt*"g,  aa- 

tied"  the  score 


sisted  by  a  wild  pitch  by  Larkin. 
In  the  next  Inning  the  Hartfords  ' 


by  good  batting  on  Uie  part  of  Ferguson  and  Carey's 
daring  base  running.  Neither  side  scored  in  the  next 
inning,  a  beautiful  double  play  by  Booth.  Foley,  and 
Meyerle.  of  the  Cindnnatia,  being  the  feature  of 
the  innings  play.  In  the  fotuth  inning 
Ferguson  opened  play  for  the  Hartfords  with  a  taf e 
hit  to  centre  field,  on  which  he  easily  reached  second 
base.  He  was  foUowedby  York,  who  made  a  olean 
home  run.  This  made  matters  appear  extremely  In- 
teresting for  a  time,  but  althotigh  Casaidr  followed 
York  with  a  good  hit,  the  side  was  disposed  of  before 
another  run  could  be  scored.  In  this  inning  the  vis- 
itors were  whitewashed,  Ferguson,  Bttr- 
dock,  and  Carey  doing  the  fieldhig.  The 
Brooklynites  added  two  more  runs  to  their 
score  in  the  sixth  inning,  and  blanked 
their  opponents.  In  the  next  JPTting  they  still 
further  increased  their  lead  by  two  runs,  one  of  them 
earned  by  the  splendid  batting  of  Cassidy,  Fergtison, 
and  York.  The  other  wss  made  on  errors  by  Meyerle 
and  Cummings.  The  Cincinnati  players  made  a 
change  at  the  commencement  of  the  seventh  inning. 
Booth  going  in  to  pitch.  Pike  to  second  base,  and 
Cununings  to  centre  field-  This  change,  how- 
ever, brought  them  no  benefit,  as  the  Hart- 
fords batted  Booth's  delivery  even  worse 
than  Cummings'-  In  tne  seventh  inning,  for 
the  first  time  during  the  game,  did  the  Cincinnati 
men  hit  Larkin's  pitching,  and  mode  two  runs,  one  of 
them  earned.  Both  clubs  scored  in  the  eighth  inning. 
In  the  ninth  inning  the  visitors  scored  another,  on 
errors  of  Carey  and  Allison,  and  blanked  the  Brook- 
lynites, thus  leaving  the  score  at  8  to  5  in  favor  of 
the  latter.  Of  the  mdividual  play.  Pike's  outflelding 
and  Foley's  third-base  play  was  the  best  shown  on 
the  Cincinnati  side.  For  the  home  club  Allison's  re- 
markable catching  was  the  finest  exhibitiou  of  that 
kind  ever  witnes^d  here.  The  following  Is  the  score 
of  the  game :

4>«e<a2  iMqtcIek  to  Oe  JTfw-FOT*  Am 
Detroit,  Mich.,  Ang.  18.— The  weathar  to 
day  for  the  dosing  races  of  the  North^westam  Ama- 
teur Rowing  Association  was  not  qtiite  BO  tmrarabU 
as  yesterday,  the  breese  being  qndte  fresh  and  x«&- 
deiing  the  water  too  lumpy  for  £aat  aheD^aOli^ 
The  attendance  was  oa  huge  ai  ever,  but  tbt 
contevto  w«re  muh  inferior  to  the  «nperi» 
raeiiig  of  the  preceding  day.  The  t^fCKi 
eommenoed  with  the  svrimmtng^  rmee  of  SCO 
yards,  between  W.  P.  Sardway,  of  Boeheetec,  K.  T., 
and  Harry  Newberry,  which  was  won  by  Sardway  by 
10  feet.  In  the  jojoior  lin^e-eeall  noa,  one  ™n» 
and  return,  the  starters  were  Joe  Kadean,  of 
Houroe;  whose  boat  iprtmg  a  leak,  so  tbak  he 
had  to  be  picked  up ;  his  brother,  l£6ae 
N'adeau,  who  won  in  ITbcl  58(u,  and  J.  W.  Alex- 
ander, of  Saginaw,  who  was  forced  from  hit  ooorae  by 
a  yacht  at  the  start,  and  beaten  several  lengths  at  th« 
dose.  The  doublc-sctill  race,  open  to  al^  and  orei 
the  same  distance,  was  contested  bv  Moaely  sad 
Pieplnbrink.  of  Albany  Muttials ;  and,  bvMiles  and 
Craig,  Wolveuhooks,  of  Green  Bay,  Wis.  Tha 
latter  soon  got  the  lead,  and  won  by  at  least  300  feet 
in  14m.  2^.  The  exdting  race  of  the  day 
came  next,  being  the  aix-o&red  race  for  the 
North-western  amateur  cham^onship,  long 
held  by  the  Wah-wah-sums,  of  Si^jbuw. 
The  only  competitors  were  the  Excelsiors  and 
Zephyrs,  of  Detroit,  between  whom  there  is  a  keu 
rivalry,  and  whose  numerotia  partisans  shouted 
lustily  for  their  appearance.  They  got  a  beanttfol 
start,  and  pulled  evenly  down  the  mile  and  a  half 
course.  At  tho  turning  stake  tho  Excelsiors  put  on 
a  spurt  and  swung  around  first,  but  tho  Zephyrs  im- 
dertook  to  turn  the  same  boat,  and  in  so  dozns  fouled 
the  loaders,  unshipping  the  Utters  rudder.  The  Ex- 
celsiors, undaunted  by  this  mishap,  pulled  out  game- 
ly,  started  away  with  a  good  lead,  and  went  home  at 
a  fine  pace.  The  Zephyrs  soon  stopped  rowing,  and 
coolly  put  in  a  claim  of  foul  on  their-  own 
account.  The  judges  made  short  work  of  dis. 
allowing  this,  declared  the  Excelsiors  to  be  rifht^ 
and  gave  them  the  race.  Tho  time  was  not  pubfiely 
announced.  The  closing  race  was  the  jtmior  fonr- 
oared  race,  the  same  distance,  the  starters  being  the 
Amateurs  and  Floral  Citys.  of  Monroe  ;  Zephyrs  and 
Excelsiors,  of  Detroit,  and  tTndines,  of  Toledo.  The 
Floral  Citya  led  up  the  course,  but  the  Zephyrs  eol- 
lared  and  passed  them  at  the  turn,  when  one  of  their 
men  fainted,  and  they  lost  several  lengths.  The  re- 
sult of  this  was  that  the  Floral  Oitya  won  in 
19m.  48s.:  the  Zephyr  second,  but  for  behind,  the 
Undines  third,  and  .Amateurs  fourth.  The  Exeet 
siors  broke  down  their  boat  and  were  towed  in.

FORTT-Sn  SMALL    BOATS   DT    POSITIOX — OLD 

FAVOEITES  TO  THE  FRONT. 

The  Regatta  of  the  New-Rochelle  Tadht  Clab, 
which  took  place  yesterday,  was  sneoessfnl  beyond 
precedent.  To  count  the  yachts  which  partlc^wted 
in  it,  and  to  rlaaslfy  them,  argues  especial  skiH  of  aa 
arithmetical  ttim,  but  to  state  the  result  is  to  tall  aa 
old  story  with  a  commonly  victorious  caption.  In  tiie 
matter  of  ntimbera,  it  was  necessary  to  count  no  leea! 
than  46  yachts.  In  respect  to  the  actual  prowe«  and 
contention  of  the  affair,  the  regatta  aoqnized  %>^ 
memorable  interest  for  the  reason  that  abont 
half  a  dozen  of  the  most  famotis  bsuU 
yachts  afloat  .were  engaged.  The  regatta  had,  be- 
isides,  a  wide  social  interest.  All  Xew^Bochelle  was 
exercised,  and  it  behig  a  question  of  making  hay 
while  the  sun  shone,  devot<pd  Itself  with  considera- 
able  assidoity  to  the  aectunulatlou  of  money.  It  was 
very  saceeaaftil  in  this  respect.  The  interest  in  the 
regatta  was  shown  a  good  deal  on  the  water,  in  the 
fact  that  the  attendant  steamers  were  very  nu- 
merous and  that  they  were  largely  patronized.  The 
General  Sedgwick  waa  JexHa  prijicept,  and,  bein^ 
the  dub  boat,  took  out  all  the  people  of  more  d»-

SCORE  OF  127  Bxrss. 
A  large  ntunber  of  ladiesjmd  gentlemen  were 
present  yesterday  to  witness  the  cricket  match  be- 
tween the  St.  George's  Club,  of  Hoboken,  and  the  Bel- 
mont Club,  of  Philadelphia,  played  on  the  grounds  of 
the  former.  The  fact  that  the  visitors  had  worsted 
the  Germantown  Club,  of  their  own  dty — 
which  has  beaten  both  the  St.  George's 
and  the  Staten  Island  Gnbs— led  many  to 
e:q>est  a  brilliant  and  well-contested  gome. 
Three  or  four  of  the  crock  players  of  the  Philadel- 
phia dub  failed  to  appear  in  tfaegame,  and  the  result 
was  that  the  playing  of  the  Be^onts  was  weak  in 
the  beginning  of  the  game  and  careless  at  its  latter 
end.    The  Belmont  Club  won  the  toss  and  were  the 

first  to  go  to  the  wickets.    They    were    very    feeble      „. ___„  ..„^  „„  _„^   ..„.  .„,.^   ««  -««*-

The  entries  too  went  through  all  the  infaxior 
classes,  but  the  result  ia  not  of  special  import  It 
was  the  old  story  so  far  as  the  contention  waa 
concerned.  The  almost  invincible  t  Suaie  6- 
beat  tho  Davids  and  Dare  Devil  deverlv.  and  the 
Pluck  and  Luck  kept  up  her  splendid  xepn- 
taclon.  The  wind  was  very  l^jht  w^en 
tne  great  fleet  of  A-achta  started,  (all  to 
one  signal,)  but  the  crack  boats  went  easily 
into  leading  positions.  The  rules  of  the  regatta  were 
strict  enough,  and  were  based,  so  far  as  possible,  on 
those  of  the  Brooklyn  Yacht  Clnb.  The  upshot  of  a 
splendid  day's  sport  was  that  the  Suxie  S.,  after  a 
most  \-igorous  contention,  won  in  her  class  :  that  the 
Pluck  and  Luck  was  In  her  customary  forward  place, 
and  won  in  the  second  class ;  that  the  Frou-Prou  won 
the  third  class,  and  the  Mary  B.  the  fifth.  The  racea 
in  the  other  dasses  did  not  come  to  a  termination, 
and  of  these  the  catamaran  class  had  a  somewhas 
unsatisfactory  representation,  there  bdng  only  one 
boat  present.  The  regatta  lasted  until  late  in  the 
evening.

and    two    by    Giles  at     end-off    position.      The 


Belmonts  were  disposed  of  for  27  mna 
The  St.  Georges  first  sent  Hosford  and  Giles  to  tho 
wickets.  The  former  was  oaught  by  North  after 
niaking  eight  runs,  and  the  latter  saw  several  of  his 
comrade's  wickets  fall  before  ho  waa  mu  ont  by  the 
carelessuecB  of  Marsh,  after  making  a  fine  stand  for 
52  runs.  Moeran  did  some  splendid  batting,  but  was 
caught  and  bowled  very  deverly  by  Longstreet. 
Marsh,- after  an  over  or  two, became  familiar  with  the 
bnwhng  of  his  onponent^  and  sent  the  ball  where- 
ever  he  chose.  He  made  one  hit  for  six  runs,  one  for 
five,  and  numerous  others  for  throe  and  two  each. 
After  a  very  lo'ng  stand  he  waa  caught  off  tho  wick- 
et by  Collins,  and  retired  with  the  magnificent  score 
of  127  runs.  By  mutual  agreement  the  game  was 
called  at  0:30  o'dock,  with  the  St.  Georges  still  at. 
the  wickets.     The  following  is  the  score  :

TffE  CAA'jLDIAy  ITJSHKBIES  DISPUTE. 
Toronto,  Ontario,  Aug.  IS. — A  speoial 
cablegram  from  London  to  the  Globe  st&t«8  th&tt 
the  Timet,  in  a  long  editorial  on  the  Fisheries 
Commission,  says  : 

"  Xo  sooner  did  the  commission  begin  busiBesa 

than  the  conviction  arose  that  another  cummlsslau, 

i  and  another  treaty  wotild  be  neceesary  to  settle  the 

j  dispute.    This wooldbeaverylameaiidimpotent COD- 

clasion  of  its  labors.    The  mode  of  dealing  with 

j  Canadian  elr'ms  always  seemed  exceedingly  inoon- 

)  venient,   invol'\'ing,  ok  it  did,  continually  recurrins 

.  ,.^.t»»,    b    u.   «.    w.  {  disputes.     It  waa  urged  ns  nn  excuse  for  the  treaty 

Marah 6  )  that  no  other  terms  were  obt«in»bla.     It  would  have 

C   North,   c   Giles,    h.         j  been  better  to  have  had  no  "Washington  Treaty  than 
*  T^.:r;j^i"'i'"i;t'^        l  to  have  f«led  to  provide  for  a  settlement  of  the  dlflU 
■^"  cnlty.    It  was  intended  to  remove  aH  points  in  dis- 

pute, but  there*  is  as  much  dispute  aa  ever. 
It  ia  a  question  of  commrrcxsJ  policy,  on' 
which  the  Timst  pronounces  no  opinion.; 
AVhether  the  Canadians  would  not  act  wisely  In  petw 
mitting  fishermen  of  any  natlonalltv  to  come  in  and! 
buy  bait  and  ice  freely,  there  can  t>e  no  quesUon. 
They  have  the  right  to  exclude  foreign  fisl^rmes  if 
they  choose  under  the  convention  of  1818.  If  the 
Washineton  Treaty  gave  fuller  righu  of  resorting  to 
Canadian  waters,  it  allows  that  compensation  may 
be  required  for  concessions.  The  TVme*  sees  no  dear 
way  out  of  the  numerous  difGcnltiea.  The  best 
ccAne,  perhaps,  would  be  for  the  Governments  to 
come  to  a  pretradnary  agreement. ^o  give  the  Com- 
misslonera  newer  to  dedde  the  whole  of  the  caaes. 
laid  before  them,  giving  such  an  enlarged  intetpreta* 
tlon  to  the  clauses  of  the  treaty  aa  wotud  do  anbstaa- 
tial  JQstloe  between  the  disputants."

J&tlMlSQ     KAPOLEOITS     ASHES   FROM    ST. 

HELENA. 


(FKOM  THEOPHILE  GAUTIER.) 

Bored,  and  thus  forced  oat  of  my  room, 

Alon^  the  Boulevard  1  piissed. 
Around  me  hnng  December's  gloom, 

Tlio  wind  waB  cold,  the  showers  drove  fast. 

Then  straight  I  saw  (how  stranee  the  sicht!) 
Escaped  from  their  grim  dweJling-place, 

Trampling  through  mud  in  sorry  plight, 
Ghusts  at  midday,  ghosts  face  tc  face. 

Kieht  is  the  time  when  shades  have  power, 
"w  hilo  German  moonlight  silvers  all, 

Within  some  old  and  totteriii;r  tower. 
To  flit  across  the  piilarod  halL 

*Ti8  night  when  fairies  from  the  floods 
In  dripplinj;  rolies  rise  like  a  breath. 

Then  drag  beneath  their  lily  buds 
t?ome  boy  whom  they  have  danced,  to  death. 

'Tw:as  night,  if  Zedlitz  singeth  tme, 
'VVnen  (halt-Keen  shade)  the  Eciperor 

Marshaled' in  line,  for  that  review. 
The-  shades  of  Austcrlitz  once  more. 

But  spectres  in  the  pnblic  street, 
Scarce  from  the  play-house  pflfes  two. 

Veiled  nor  by  mist,  nor  windi  c  siif  el 
Who  stand  there  wearied  and  wet  through. 

Well  may  we  wonder  as  we  garo ; 

Three  gmmbling  phantoms  hover  dim. 
In  nniform  of  other  days. 

One  ei-guard,  two  hussars  witbhim. 

Not  these  the  slain,  who,  though  they  die. 
Still  hear  through  earth  Napoleon's  druJm; 

But  veterans  oi  a  time  c"ne  by 
Waked  up  to  see  hLs  relics  come. 

Who,  since  that  last,  that  f.itai  fight, 
Have  grown,  or  fat,  or  lean  and  grim ; 

Whose  nnifomis.  unless  too  ti'.;ht. 
Float  wide  around  each  wasted  limb. 

Oh  noble  racK.  stUl  like  a  star 

To  you  the  (.'ross  of  Honor  clJngs, 
Snhliinely  Itidicrous,  ye  htv 

Grander  than  purple  worn  by  Kings  1. 

A  nerveless  piume.  as  if  with  fear, 
Trembles  above  the  bearskin  frayed; 

lloth-fretled  the  pelisse  is.  near 

Those  holes  by  hostile  bullets  made  ; 

The  leathern  overalls,  too  larqe. 

Round  the  shrunk  thigh  in  wrinkles  fall, 

And  nisty  sabres,  wearj-jng  clmnre. 
I>rag  on  the  groimd.  or  beat  llie  wall. 

The  next  one  is  crotcsque,  with  chest 
Stretching  a  eoat  two  small  by  half  ; 

But  for  the  stripes  that  derk  his  breast, 
.\t  the  old  war- wolf  we  might  laugh. 

Wy  brothers,  mock  them  not  ton  much ; 

Rather  salute.  wit)i  heads  low  bent, 
These  heroes  of  an  Iliad,  surh 

As  Homer  never  could  invent. 

Greet  each  bald  head  with  reverence  dne. 
For  on  brows,  bronzed  bv  many  a  clime, 

A  lengthening  scar  oft  reddens  through 
The  lines  that  have  been  dug  by  time. 

Their  skins,  by  a  strange  blackness,  tell 

Of  Egj-pt's  heat,  and  blinding  light ; 
Russia's  snow-powder,  a.*?  it  fell 

Has  keiit  those  thin  lockii  ever  white. 

Their  hands  may  tremble :  yes,  still  k-^en 

The  ooM  of  Reresinn  bitf  s  ; 
They  limp,  for  lonjj  the  march  between 

Cairo  and  Wilna's  frozen  heights. 

They  droop.  b**nt  double.  Pince  in  w.ir 
No  sheets  but  flngs  for  slt-op  hsd  they  ; 

The  helpless  sleeve  jnay  duttor.  for 
A  round  shot  tore  the  arm  away. 

LAUgb  not.  though  round  them  le.nps  and  jeers 
The  howlin.g  sireet-l>oy  with  ileliirht ; 

They  were  the  day  of  ihowe  proud  years. — 
The  evenings  we — perchance  tliu  night. 

They  recollect,  if  we  forget. 

Lancers  in  red,  ex-guard  iublue, 
And  worship,  at  his  colomii  met. 

The  only  Ood  they  ever  knew. 

Proud  of  the  pains  endured  so  long. 

Grateful  for  miseries  nohly  homo — 
They  feel  the  heart  of  France  beat  strong 

Under  that  clothiug  s*>ilod  and  worn. 

Our  tears  then  check  the  smile  that  played. 
To  see  thit.  strange  pomp  on  its  way— 

The  Empire's  ghostly  ma-sqnenide — 
trtm  as  a  bail  when  dawns  the  day. 

Throufiji  skies  which  yet  her  splendors  fill.

CHAPTER  I. 

tVhen  the  Jrgu9  failed  I  felt  I  raust  do 
iomerhui^  extraordinary  or  peri.-*h  ;  there  was 
no  other  alternative.  I  couM  not  leap  from  the 
ainking  ship  on  to  some  firmer  deck.  Xo  senti- 
mental idea  of  devotion  to  thn  vessel  which  bore 
my  fortunes  would  hare  deterred  me  :  but  the 
fact  w.is  that  the  sinking  shin  when  sound  had 
not  made  itself  particularly  agreeable  to 
that  ephemeral  fleet  of  paper  argo.sies 
which  seeks  daily  or  weekly  the  Golden  Fleece 
of  the  largest  circulation.  The  .1  rtjtis  has  rjeen 
eometbing  of  a  privateer,  not  to  say  a  pirate. 
It  dearly  loved  a  .shot  beneath  the  water-mark  of 
a  i>assing  companion.  It  boarded  and  scuttled 
a  new  publication  on  the  >lig!ite.st  provocation. 
It  delighted  in  ptdnting  out  the  weak  spots  of 
the  leviathans,  and  di'l  not  sparo  the  cockle- 
shells. ^Vheii  th**  Tim^s  tacked  more  than  once 
in  the  week  :t  was  jubilant.  When  the  Tele- 
ffraphtno\£  on  btiard  It.s  autumnal  sea-serpent  it 
laughed  lustily.  Nothing  pscap<Kl  it,  not  an  in- 
verted f*.  nor  a  flaw  in  logic.  And  consequently 
it  cnuM  not  be  called  a  popular  organ.  A  man 
^rows  to  iflentify  him-self  with  the  paper  he 
reads.  He  wil!  smile  at  first  when  you  t^ll  hini 
his  oracie  is  mendacious  i>r  meaningle^is  ;  but 
he  end.s  by  con.sidering  that  you  have  railed 
him  a  fool  or  a  liar,  and  feels  tenilerly  toward 
you  acfordiugly.  At  It.'ust  1  know  I  was 
a  marked  man  several  months  before 
the  A  rrjiLf  fail*'d.  I  had  aired  my  title 
of  dramatic  oriric  of  the  Argai  in  rather  too 
many  club.s  and  theatres.  It  procured  me  the 
acquaintance  of  several  clean-shaven  gentlemen, 
and  ladies  who-***  coranlesions  would  not  bear 
daylight  unaided.  It  afforded  rae  a  few  oppor- 
tunities for  informing  the  British  public  that 
some  were  '*  promLsing/' some  "  Pon.scientious 
artiate.t.*'  **  youthful  and  talented  interpreters,*' 
&c.  Bill  it  ilid  not  shed  any  pf-rceptible  lustre 
on  my  onward  path.  Indet^d,  it  e!o.sf»d  every 
door  through  which  a  man  may  pass  to  Pactohis 
and  Pamas.sns.  Not  a  chum  who  had  not  on 
some  occasion  been  "  cut  up  "  in  the  Arrjuf;^  and 
reflected  forthwith.  "  Vallance  df>es  everything 
there  :  he  has  either  written  the  article  or  sug- 
gested it.*'  Not  a  journal  where  I  was  known 
that  had  not  been  criticised,  or  worsie.  worsted, 
by  the  bellicose  publication  with  which  I  was 
identified.  I  was  the  critic  of  the  Argus.  I 
bore  the  brand  of  Cain. 

I  realized  all  this  with  a  feeling  of  some  di.v 
comfort  on  the  dull  Autumn  morning  when. 
wi>b  the  last  check  from  the  baneful  organ  in 
my  pocket.  1  left  Fleet-street,  and  turned  west- 
warfl  to  the  club  to  <Une.  Only  dinner,  the 
diurnal  conxolatrix  affi,irinrxnn,  could  relievo  me  ; 
so  I  had  resolved  to  order  it  early.  Besides, 
they  would  know    all    about  the  citastrophc  at 


J 


the  club,  and  t'neir  lamentations  might  take  a 
painfully  satirical  form  if  1  wa:t^-d  for  the  gen- 
enil  dinner  hour.  | 

I  weni  through  a  carefully  compo.'ied  wjchm  with 
perfect  calm.  I  to<^k  cofftn-  in  the  smoking-room, 
and,  the  sedative  manilla  aiding,  contemplated 
the  future  with  tolerable  placidity.  Nothing  on 
the  Jier<> — wo  chaffed  their  chief  proprietor 
when  hi)  was  elected  for  St.  Sv.-ithin*s — good 
joke.  that,  about  "  it  never  rains."  'Ferrars 
migbt  do  something  on  the  Crntury.  but  he 
owes  money  to  Sidcumb,  and  I  rather  think  we 
pnclsed  Sidcumb's  bubble  company  to  *ieath. 
The  PavV.ion — closed  ever  since  I  said  that 
Mile.  ?»Iachine  talked  like  a  drum  and  danced 
like  the  stick.  The  ITedgchog — Lord  Courleroy 
holds  it  in  his  hand,  and  we  said  he  imitated 
Vance.  The  TrmnpHer — they  would  eat  me  if  I 
ftpplied  to  them.  AVhen  an  editor  has  a  wife 
who  writes,  shun  the  ill-bred  organ  that  laughs 
at  her.  The  Piccadilly  Post — no,  it's  no  use. 
There's  not  a  door  open  ;  the  Arg\ts  ha.s*peored 
through  too  many  key-holes,  it's  all  up  with 
Stephen  Vallance,  unle.«Ls — ha,  there's  something 
to  D©  done  there — unless  he  writes  a  novel. 
Not  much  work,  a  novel,  with  very  broad  mar- 
gin. Brass  would  publish  it.  Something  out 
of  thd  way— (luiet,  solwr.  like  Black ;  rustic — 
that's  it ;  an  idyl.  Lots  of  scenerj-,  word-paint- 
ing, peasant  life.  Well  noticed,  it  wilh, 
bring  me  back  to  life,  and  sho^ ' 
people  I  am  capable  of  bette: 
5iing3  than  playing  the  gladiator  in  the  Repub 
lie  of  Letters.  They  call  it  a  republic,  but  it'i 
the  most  limited  monarchy  I  ever  knew. 

I  had  quite  decided  upon   a   novel  as  the  ia.\     o; 
jnniiaeiit  of  DLv  rehAlnUtatiou  whea  I  zeachAdLiji 


my  chambers.  The  letters  I  found  there  con- 
flnned  me  in  my  resolution,  and  added  there- 
unto an  amendment     The  first  ran  as  follows  : 

Sm:  We  regret  to  inform  you  that  miless 
your  several  accounts  with  our  firm,  the 
total  of  which  amounts  to  £65,  as  the 
bills  already  forwarded  will  prove,  have 
been  fully  settled  at  the  end  of  the  current 
month,  we  shall  l>e  obliged  to  place  the  matter 
in  the  hands  of  our  solicitor.  We  remain, 
yotirs,  obediently,  Jon-es  &  Son,  Tailors. 

The  second  appealed  to  me  £hus  : 

Sir  :  Having  several  heavy  bills  to  meet  at 
the  end  of  the  current  month,  w©  shall  feel 
obliged  if  you  will  remit  without  delay  the 
^mp  of  47  pounds  1 1  shillings,  being  the 
amount  due  to  us  for  divers  case*  of  Ro^erer, 
Chablis.  and  claret,  furnished  to  you  during  the 
past  year.     We  remain  vonrs,  respectfully, 

Brown,  Robinson  &  Co.,  Wine  Merchants. 

The  third  was  longer  and  somewhat  less  per- 
emptory : 

My  Dear  Stephen  :  I  must  really,  as  an  old 
friend  of  your  father's,  do  what  I  can  to  pre- 
vent you  wrecking  your  best  chances  in  life  like 
an  angry  school-boy.  I  can  understand  your 
grievance  against  your  uncle,  and,  as  you  know, 
have  not  scrupled  to  tell  him  so.  You  fell  in 
love  with  your  cousin  ;  nothing  more  natiiral.

Thisla.^t  letter  disquieted  rae  the  least.  It  was 
the  last  of  a  long  series  of  .similar  warnings,  I 
had  not  forgiven,  and  did  not  intend  to  forgive. 
I  had  fouicht  against  my  fancy — it  was  but  a 
fancy,  though  1  thought  it  peqietual  adoration  at 
the  time.  I  had  thnught  of  her  money  with 
savage  rescntinent,  and  then,  having  scarcely 
spoken  to  her  of  anything  more  seiious  than 
croquet  and  waltzes.*!  had  gone  to  her  father 
frankly.  like  the  romanti**  idiot  I  was.  and 
talked  about  askins:  him  nothing,  lii-ing  on  what 
I  could  make  at  iht*  bar  :  and  he  turned  on  me 
with  stupid.  Ithindoring  bnitiility.  called  me  a 
heiress-hunter,  and  an  idle  s'»amp  waiting  for 
dpjid  men's  shm-s.  Ni"*.  I  would  not  forgive  h-m 
the  burning  shanw  of  that  momi-ut.  1  gave 
him  up  from  th;it  day.  Not  all  Silas' 
saije  oxhnrtation.s — Silas  is  the  local  doc- 
tor, and  was  my  fath"r*s  friend— would  make 
me  feel  a  wliit  less  flerre  and  unforgiving  when  I 
thought  of  the  blind  old  Squire's  itisult.  3Iy 
father  was  tlit*  younger  brother,  all  but  penni- 
less, and  penniless  r  would  remain  if  my  own 
labor  could  not  enrich  rae. 

The  other  letters  wrro  net  so  easily  disposed 
of.  The  faihire  of  the  .lrff»/.s-  meant  the  stop- 
page of  my  unique  bank.  1  hail  saved  a  modest 
sum.  sullifient  to  help  me  over  my  trwrte  saison, 
but  these  pen-miitory  irussive.s  entiroly  altered, 
thi*  aspect  of  my  ii'Tair*.  financially  considered. 
I  could  pay  brjth  traiSesmeu.  but  what  would  be- 
come of  me  afterward  ?  Sage,  miildle-aged 
fathers  of  f.imilies  wouhl  advi.se  with  a  few  apt 
moral  admonitions;  bvit  if  I  paid  these  creditors 
I  mu.'^t  make  others.  Shylock  for  Shylock.  I 
prefer  the  one  you  know,  whose  temper  you  are 
familiar  with,  whoso  hand  on  your  t>ell  is  recog- 
nizable, whose  step  on  your  staircase  betrays 
him.  So  1  resolved  to  keep  my  name  on  the 
bwtks  of  Messrs.  Jones.  Rrown  &  Robinson. 
only  I  sent  them  ea<'h  a  certain  sum  on  accotmt, 
and  resolved  to  winter  at  Dieppe. 

The  season  was  detinitelv  over.  I  was  glad  to 
see  on  issuing  from  the  (''ustora-house.  I  was 
the  only  vnytitjmr  fxn/r  Dii'mtf.  The  rambling 
old  town  looked  desolate  and  half  asleeo.  The 
piqu^-  costumes  of  my  i'ountr\'women  had  de- 
part<*d  in  enormous  trunks;  the  (jomm>-us  were 
reintefcrated  in  Paris;  the  Russians  had  joined 
those  multitudinous  embassies  all  ti^veling 
Musco\-ites  .seem  to  belong  to ;  the  Ameiicans 
had  dispersed  everywhere.  I  was  gloriously 
alone;  so  alone,  so  exceptional,  that  a  pensive 
Lieutenant  of  Chasseurs  (the  Ninth  ("nasseurs 
formed  the  garrison)  saluted  rae  with  a  "Bon 
jour.  Monsieur."  as  he  might  have  done  to  a 
solitary  European  met  by  chance  in  the  desert. 

Here  I  felt  were  the  scenes  and  actors  I 
wanted  I  did  not  need  the  Kni*le-bo<^>k  to  ascer- 
tain that  the  I'oIIet  had  a  jwculiar  jtopulation  of 
its  own — inhabitauts  that  never  mixed  with 
those  of  the  Right  V^aubourg,  that  benefited  in 
no  way  by  tlie  incursions  of  Sunimer  visitors, 
that  prayed  in  their  own  chapels,  bought  in  their 
own  shops,  earned  their  living  in  their  own 
primitive  way.  and  Wntked  askance  like 
Normans  who  remembered  Jean  Bart  on 
Ant;Io-Saxons  in  f.vei'd.  I  resolved  to 
conquer  the  Pollet,  I  crept  into  it  gradually, 
drtssed  in  rough  serge,  never  exliibiting  more 
than  one  I(>-sous  piece  at  a  time,  smoking  c/jpo- 
rnl  'U  rintint'  in  an  unobtrusive  (iambier  pipe. 
I  democratized  mvself,  and  in  a  few  tlays  I  had 
exciianged  friendly  words  witli  several  wrinkled 
old  net-menders  and  hideous  witches  knitting 
on  their  doorsteps. 

T  had  rettimcrl  from  one  of  these  visits,  and 
was  climbing  the  ramparts  for  a  brisk  walk  be- 
fore dtnn*-r.  The  tn-es  were  almost  bare.  I 
walked  on  a  thick  carpet  of  russet  leaves,  and  a 
strong  salt  breeze  filled  my  nostrils  with  that 
faint  odor  of  sea- weed,  of  things  far  off  and 
inaccessible,  that  sets  one  longing  for  change, 
that  breathes  tho  spirit  of  a  i^vaaU  Columbus 
into  one.  I  stood  in  tho  semi-circle  of  one  of 
the  biistions  and  looked  .seaward,  and  felt 
njy  trifiing  newspapt^r  wit,  my  pnpier- 
vach^  idols  of  Fleet-street  and  Pater- 
noster-row. to  be  very  .small  indeed. 
Then  behind  me.  behind  tho  gras-s-grown  bat- 
tery at  uiy  back,  i  heard  a  quiet  voice — a 
woman's  voice,  fresh,  and  with  the  slow  Norman 
nasal  twang  in  it : 

*•  Bon  soir.     A  domain." 

There  was  no*  answer.  I  liked  the  voice ;  I 
was  lonely  and  not  very  rich,  nor  universally 
famous.  l^eattered  remnants  of  lachrymose 
sentim«ntnlity  collectt'd  in  rae.  1  was  in  one  of 
those  moods  when  a  man  wanta  a  guardian  an- 
gel, and  forgets  that  giuirdian  angels  h<.*ar  chil- 
dren who  require  perambulators  and  decent 
schooling.  I  turnfed  and  met  her  as  she  issued 
from  the  shadow-  f»f  the  earthwork.  She  be- 
longed to  wull-to-do  fisher-folk.  I  divined  imme- 
diately, and  the  fisher-folk  were  lucky  progeni- 
tors. 1  added  pre.-^ently.  A.  cotton  Jiniu  crossed 
her  breast,  a  short  black  skirt,  blue  worsted 
.stockings,  and  clumsy  shoes  with  buckles— the 
costume  is  not  seductive  on  paper,  and  yet  I  can 
find  nothing  ami.ss  in  it  even  now.  The  face  had 
a  bonny  air  of  candor  and  quietude,  not  meek 
nor  saintlike,  verj'  womanly,  rather  coquettish 
at  times,  but  still  very  youthful— that  vague  air 
<tf  having  just  awoke'that  country  las-sos  have 
in  France  more  often  than  in  England,  where 
the  country  is  becoming  more  suburban  every 
dav.  and  where  Ixsses  are  young  ladies  and  play 
"  Madame  Angol  "  on  the  pianoforte.  She  had 
brown  eyes,  which  she  screwed  up  at  you  in- 
quiringly ;  tawny  hair  that  was  never  .smooth, 
aU)eit  I  have  reason  to  suspect  she  used 
some  primitive  species  of  bandoline,  manufac- 
tured by  local  authorities  on  the  cosmetic  arts. 
Her  face  was  a  little  freckled,  her  hands  brown 
and  plump,  her  feet  small  and  aEfile  despite  the 
clumsy  shoes.  X  Tarisian  milliner  and  hair- 
ilre.sser  would  liave  mado  her  a  very  ordinary 
.soubrette  of  a  sober  lady-like  kind  ;  but  as  she 
was  in  Iter  own  domain  she  wonid  have  outshone 
the  soubrette's  mistress. 

She  glanced  at  me  as  I  stood  aside  to  let  her 
pass.  There  was  not  much  in  tbeg.ance;  it 
was  fearless  and  .slightly  critical,  that  was  alL 
But  it  told  me  that  she  was  accustomed  to  be 
abroad  alone,  that  she  knew  how  to  protect  her- 
self, and  woiild  not  faint  or  fly  if  a  stranger  in 
masculine  garb  ventured  to  keep  her  in  sight. 
Sbe  descended  the  Urande  Rue,  and  turned 
aside  at  the  Market-place  and  entered  Saint 
Pierre.  I  followed  her.  It  was  dusk,  and  the 
little  side  chapels,  filled  with  miniatilre  ships 
and  nets  and  figure-hoids,  were  qnite  dark.  She 
stopped  in  one,  and  knelt  for  a  few  moments. 
As  we  returned,  in  the  nave  a  young  fisherman 
met  her,  spoke  to  her,  and  they  went  their  way 
together.  But  again  she  glanced  at  me  as  the 
red-baize  door  swung  behind  us,  and  I  fancied 
the  glance  was  more  curious  than  before  ;  pot 
more  indignant. 

The  next  day  I  went  to  the  Pollet,  and  halted 
before  No.  13  Kue  de  la  Poissonnerie.  It  was 
an  old  house,  lit  by  small  windows  with  leaden 
frames.  I  studied  it  attentively,  for  in  that 
house  I  intended  to  live  for  the  next  four 
months,  to  write  my  novel  and  lay  the  founda- 
tion of  my  fortune.  There  were  dimity  cur- 
tains at  all  the  windows,  and  flowers  at  all  but 
one.    I  passed  and  repassed  several  times  ;  then 

entatedxgnall  .winfl.^.og  j>ppog.te,  ftad  s^ted. 


myself  at  the  rotigh  wooden  table  of  the  com- 
mon room.  In  an  honr  I  had  remarked  that  no- 
bodv  had  appeared  at  the  flowerless  window, 
while  the  other  rooms  were  apparently  inhab> 
ited.  My  mind  was  made  up.  I  crossed  the 
narrow  street,  and  lifted  the  latch  of  No.  13. 
An  old  woman  in  the  kitchen  and  sitting-room 
raised  her  head  from  the  sahce-pan,  wherein  a 
soupe  aux  chmix  was  simmering.  I  raised  my 
hat  and  invented  an  excuse. 

"  I  am  told,  Madame,  that  you  have  a  room 
to  let." 

"We  have  a  room,  tme;  but — ^bnt — I  don't 
know.  My  daughter  will  tell  you.  Annette,  An- 
nette, descend ;  a  monsieur  wants  to  know— " 

The  rest  was  lost  in  tho  clatter  of  wooden 
shoes  on  the  staircase.  Annette  presented  her- 
self, and  Annette  I  had  met  on  the  ramparts 
yesterday.  She  appeared  not  to  recognize  me, 
and  turned  composedly  to  her  mother,  inquiring 
what  was  my  errand,     I  explained. 

"  My  father  has  thought  of  letting  the  room : 
you  axe  right,  monsieur.  Indeed  he  did  let  it 
about  a  year  ago  to  an  English  artist.  Monsieur 
is  English  ?" 

I  assented.    My  accent  is  flagrantly  insular. 

She  continued  calmly : 

"I  dare  say  my  father  would  let  it — for  some 
time,  monsieur  comprehends  ?  Not  for  a  week 
or  two.     Does  Monsieur  stay  long  here  ?  " 

**  During  the  Winter  ;  four  months  or  so." 

'•  £■/(  bien,  on  pourra  s'arraitger.  Here  is  my 
father." 

The  father  wore  a  very  stiff  costume,  of  what 
looked  like  sail^rloth.  He  had  been  a  sailor,  I 
could  see,  but  ha^  long  since  retired  from  activo 
ser\-ice.  He  had  a  pen  behind  his  ear,  and  ap- 
peared to  have  been  perspiring  copiously  over 
some  species  of  book-keeping,  and  to  feel  im- 
mensely relieved  at  having  an  excuse  for  laying 
down  the  pen.  with  which  he  had  been  tattoo- 
ins  himself  from  his  finger-tips  to  his  elbows. 

Mademoiselle  Annette  explained  that  I  was 
English — when  her  father  looked  at  me  more  in 
pity  than  in  anger  ;  and  that  I  wanted  a  room — 
whereat  he  smiled,  and  rubbed  his  ink-stained 
hands. 

"My  nephew  Herv^  used  to  occupy  it,"  he  said, 
slowly  and  ev.xsively,  like  a  true  Norman.  ''But 
he  srew  up  :  tho  young  birds  leave  the  nest  di- 
rectly they  can  fly,  eh.  Monsieur  ?  and  now  he 
lodges  on  the  port  when  he's  not  at  .sea.  We 
are  not  lodging-house  keepet^s,  you  see, 
Monsieur.  I  did  let  the  room  toan  English  artist, 
but  that  was  only  to  oblige  him.  jtist  as  I  might 
do  for  you.  Monsieur." 

I  did  not  inquire  what  special  rea.sons  the  old 
man  had  for  obliging  me.  but  passed  rapidly  on 
to  the  more  practical  part  of  the  negotiations ; 
that  is  to  say,  I  uamed  a  rather  high  sum  as  tho 
value  I  placed  upon  the  vacant  room,  and 
tendered  tho  denier  d  J>i4'u.  Thereupon  my 
landlord  informed  mo  that  his  name  was  Le 
Houx,  and  that  I  could  instal  mvself 
when  I  chose.  Mile.  Annette  showed  me  up 
to  my  room.  It  was  a  small,  low  chamber,  dark. 
immaculately  clean,  and  peiTaded  by  a  faint 
odor  of  tarpaulin  and  macKerol.  Nothing  here 
at  all  suggestive  of  the  gayly-papered,  unsym- 
pathetic little  hotel  bed-room',  ornamented  with 
pictorial  supplements  of  V Illustration  and  the 
tiaiial  •'  Napoleon  at  .\rcoU.'*  A  Puritanic  apart- 
ment, a  place  to  dream  in,  to  work  in  steadily, 
intently — the  very  study  I  was  seeking.  An- 
nette was  looping  up  the  dimity  curtain,  saying 
that  when  the  sun  shone  the  room  was  quite 
gay.  Idttl  not  look  at  her — she  seemed  such  a 
slight  and  simple  little  body,  a  glance  might 
ruffle  or  intimidate  her.  But  as  she  turned 
away  from  the  window  I  saw  that  she  was  per- 
fectly composetl,  provokingly  ignorant  of  tho 
fact  that  I  was  not  an  ordinarj'  lodger,  to  he  sat- 
isfied with  clean  sheets  and  punctiuility  iu  the 
matter  of  shaving-waler. 

"  Do  you  often  walk  on  tho  ramparl-s  Made- 
moiselle i " 

She  did  not  color,  but  she  eyed  me  attentively 
for  a  naoment.  and  then  answered,  quietlj- : 

••  That  depends.  I  take  aunt  her  coffee  and 
snuti — aunt  liv<fs  near  Arques — now  and  then, 
and  1  generally  turn  aside  at  the  Chateau  com- 
ing home." 

•'  I  think  I  saw  you  there  yesterday.  You  are 
right,  tho  ramparts  are  the  best  place  for  a 
quiet,  solitary*  v»'alk.  We  men  who  write  liooks 
or  paint  pictures  liko  tho  sea  as  much  as  your 
fattier  can  liko  it." 

"Monsieur  writes — writes  things  that  are 
printed  ?"  she  said ;  and  I  gues-sed  that  she  had 
no  very  great  reverence  for  men  who  write 
things  that  are  printed. 

••  That  is  my  m^fier — not  a  wonderfully  profit- 
able one."  • 

"Ah.  I  don't  know.  I  once  ?aw  some  writers 
from  Paris.  They  wore  velvet  coats.  They 
bad  such  beautiful  ladies  with  them.  But  they 
made  too  much  noise.  And  then  the  Lidies 
knocked  them  with  their  parasols.  I  didn't  like 
them  at  all.*' 

I  guessed  that  my  Parisian  confr^-res  were  not 
accompanied  by  patterns  of  the  domestic  vir- 
tues, and  ha.stened  to  disclaim  anv  connection 
u*ith  them.  Annette  appeared  satisfied,  Iml  not 
greatly  impressed.  I  heard  her  down  stairs  an- 
swer her  mother's  inquiries  with  a  curt — 

"ITe\mtes  books  in  English.  It  must  be 
horriolenient  diflidl*'." 

CHAPTER  n. 

I  met  Le  Hou-'c  frequently.  He  was  delighted 
to  have  the  slightest  excuse  for  leaving  his  lit- 
tle office,  and  sauntering  up  tho  ])ier,  chatting 
with  the  boatmen  and  sailors,  calling  the  bare- 
leirged  old  fishfags  by  their  names  as  they 
tugged  a  smack  into  port,  and  acting  as  um- 
pire in  the  disputes  tliat  invariably 
occurre<i  when  the  ladies  were  paid 
and  retired  with  their  .'>  sous.  I  was 
soon  familiar  with  him.  I  did  not  object  to 
hear  my  countrymen  abused,  and  leamerl  with 
wonderful  promptitude  the  names  and  numbers 
of  ever\-  smack  in  which  he  was  interested. 
Regularly  ever>-  evening  as  the  clock  struck 
7  '  the  cousin  Hervt'  appt-ared,  uttered 
solemnly  "  Bon  soir,  la  compagnie."  and  sat 
down  to  play  piquet  with  Le  Houx.  At  10, 
with  .another  "Bon  soir.  la  compagnie,"  he  de- 
parted. I  was  generally  part  of  hi  roiHpaniiii>  ; 
but  I  doubt  whether  hi.';  salutation  included  me. 
I  was  not  long  in  perceiving  that  Annette  and 
Herv*^  were  destined  to  marry,  according  to 
M.  and  Mme.  le  Houx.  But  there  was  not 
much  courtship.  The  yonng  sailor  brought  a 
few  flowers  now  and  then ;  and  occasionallv. 
when  he  had  been  fishing  in  the  port  pre- 
sented a  string  of  red  mullet  to  his  atmi, 
with  the  laconic  observation  that  "  .-VunetTe 
liked  them."  Annette  talkod  to  him  gayly,  in 
familiar  sisterly  fashion,  I  never  saw  her  move 
or  color  when  he  entered,  or  beard  her  say  more 
concerning  his  offering  than.  "Oh,  the  pretty 
flowers  I"  and  "  l*et's  have  these  mullet  marines." 
And  yet  she  would  take  his  arm  to  go  to  mass ; 
she  would  sit  beside  him  at  supper  on  Sunday, 
and  li.ston  without  impatience  to  her  father's 
time-honored  pleasantries  on  the  subject  of 
youth  and  love  and  marriage.  I  heard  them 
with  less  complacency,  I  Iiad  sketched  the  plan 
of  my  novel ;  I  had  written  the  introductory 
chapter ;  but  the  plan  would  not  fit  my  person- 
ages; Annette  would  not  pair  off  ^s-ith  Her\-^ 
after  the  \*icissitndes  I  had  imagined.  I  could 
make  nothine:  of  him  ;  and  it  irritated  me  to  try. 
It  was  not  an  idyl  I  had  before  mo;  it  was  alow-Hfo 
m*'snUianf^' — th*'  worst  possiVde  fn^sallinnce — that 
of  mind  and  character.  The  young  fisher  was 
brave  and  comely  enough  on  the  deck  of  hi*  lug- 
ger La  Vigia  :  but  Annette  beside  him— An- 
nette with  her  little  hand  on  his  homy  palm, 
answering  his  surly,  clownish  utterances  with 
her  low  and  quiet  voice — it  was  a  monstrous 
fiction.  I  was  not  going  to  rewrite  Beauty  and 
the  Beast. 

*'  Annette.'*  I  said  one  dav — a  dull  December 
day,  when  the  mother  was  busy  at  her  fort- 
nightlvsafonHrtj-?  in  the  yani — "  Aimette,  will 
you  be  married  before  I  go  i" 

She  colored,  and  all  the  staid  little  airs  of 
self-possession  seemed  to  fall  away  from  her 
like  a  grarment.  She  came  and  stood  by  me  at 
the  high  window-shelf. . 

■'  Going  !  you  are  going,  Monsieur  Vallance  ? 
But  why  do  you  ask  uie  that — about  marry- 
ing ?" 

\VTiy  did  I  speak  of  it?  why,  indeed,  unless  it 
was  under  the  promptings  of  that  perverse  mood 
that  makes  a  man  tear  the  bandage  from  his 
wound,  spell  out  dehberately  th^  sentence  that 
condemns  him  ? 

"  Why,  my  child,  you  are  fiancSe,  You  must 
marry  soon.     Herv*S  must  be  impatient." 

The  words  stuck  in  my  throat.  I  rose  impa- 
tiently and  looked  out  of  window.  He  waa 
there,  at  the  wine-shop  opposite,  smoking  over 
his  demi-Utre.  She  spoke ;  1  would  not  look  at 
her. 

"Monsieur,  Monsieur  Ste — pheii" — shyly  and 
hesitatingly  she  pronounced  the  English  name 
— "don't  think  wrong  of  mo.  I  am  ^wc^e — 
what  they  call  fiancie,  I  suppose ;  but — but — oh, 
I  can't  marry  him — I  can't,  I  can't  !*' 

I  turned.  She  was  crj'ing — not  with  sobs  or 
gasps,  but  crying  as  though  some  cold  crust  of 
pride  were  melting  away,  as  though  her  poor 
child's  heart  was  breaking,  too.  The  struggle 
was  over.  I  could  not  help  it.  I  took  her  hands 
and  drew  her  to  mo. 

'*  Mignonne,  mignonne,  tn  dois  m'oimes  ua 
pen  ;  je  t'aime  moi  &  en  devenir  fou." 

Not  even  now  would  I  have  that  moment 
otherwise.  Her  class  does  not  cultivate  the  art 
of  appearing  **  so  surprised"  at  a  declaration  like 
that  I  had  just  made.  There  is  a  primitive 
frankness  in  its  welcome.and  rebuff.  She  gave 
herself  up  entirely— forgot  the  mother  in  the 
courtyara,  the  cousin  over  the  way — and  re- 
turned my  kiss  without  shame  or  shrinking.  It 
was  I  who.  first  awoke  to  a  perception  of  the 
dangers  of  the  situation.  I  raised  my  eyes  from 
her  fiice  to  meet  Herv^'s  gaze  turned  inter- 
rogatively in  our  direction. 

*•  It's  only  the  cousin,"  she  said,  smiling. 

The  cousin  crossed  the  road,  entered  the 
room,  and  uttered  his  usual  "  Bon  soir,  la  com- 
TYymie."  with  an  air  of  mriv  sngpicion.  _j^^t 


smtpiclon,  I  saw,  became  certainty — certainty  of 
his  defeat — after  he  had  scanned  our  faces ;  and 
the  handsome  features  of  le  ootuin  Herv6  wore 
an  unpleasant  look  aa  he  retired  with  a  mut- 
tered excuse.  • 

"The  couain  is  not  pleased,"  Isold,  "he 
■guesses  everything.  He  will  watch  us.  Where 
can  we  meet,  ehe^rie  f—on.  the  ramparts, '  where 
I  saw  you  first  V* 

She  shook  her  head  decisively. 

*•  Not  there  I  It  is  too  cold— too  far.  On  the 
road  to  Puys." 

Then  she  added  seriously : 

'•  But  why  should  Herve  watch  nat  He  will 
know  eveiything  shortly.  Why  should  we 
hide  i    Le  Plre  must  know." 

Ay,  why  should  we  hide  ?  I  did  not  answer 
her  question  then,  for  Madame  appeared  with 
an  armfull  of  damp  linen;  and' up  stairs  I 
found  it  difficult  to  frame  a  Batisfactory  re- 
sponse even  to  myself.  The  p^re  must  Itnow. 
Of  course  he  must ;  and  bo  must  Henry  Val- 
lance, of  Vallance  Place,  Hants,  J.  P., 
and  mv  club  friends,  and  the  major 
part  of  those  irresponsiblo  directors  of  public 
opinion  whom  I  chattered  with  in  tho  stalls  on 
first  nights.  I  began  to  realize  the  practical 
meaning  of  tho  scene  just  enxKted.  I  did  not 
regret  one  word  of  my  part  in  it ;  I  did  not 
hesitate ;  I  had  not  one  doubt  of  her  or  of  myself 
for  one  instant.  Of  that  I  am  convinced.  But 
I  was  embarrassed  with  my  happiness.  •!  knew 
not  how  to  fit  it  into  my  life,  to  give  it  breath- 
ing-room in  the  moving,  modem,  artificial  ex- 
istence thart.  I  must,  sooner  or  later,  resume.  I 
could  not  picture  myself  presenting  Annette  in 
a  bonnet  to  Gaunt'of  the  Thunderer,  escorting 
her  to  the  Academy,  following  her  train  be- 
tween the  stalls  at  the  Opera.  \Vhat  wotild  the 
half-dozen  supremely  self-satisfied  coun- 
try families  with  which  the  Vallances 
are  connected  think  of  Mrs.  Stephen 
Vallance  ?  Mrs.  Stephen  Vallance !  Could  tho 
little  Normande,  in  frilled  cap  and  worsted 
stockings,  ever  present  a  piece  of  pasteboard 
bearing  those  syllables  ?  And  the  financial  side 
of  the  question  was  quite  as  distracting.  I  waa 
to  all  appeai-ance  a  parti  for  tho  Pollet.  But  in 
truth  I  could  not  determine  how  the  parti  was 
to  describe  his  means  of  existence  to  tho  beau- 
perfi  ;  and  I  winced  as  X  bestowed  that  august 
title  on  M,  le  Houx. 

But  1  had  forgotten  all  the  difflcnlties  when  I 
met  her,  on  the  afternoon  of  the  next  day,  on 
the  road  to  Puys — a  steep,  bleak  road  skirting 
the  cliffs,  winding,  dipping,  and  rising  as  though 
it  had  been  designed  by  half  a  dozen  officials  of 
the  Fonts  et  Chauss^es,  utterly  at  variance  as  to 
where  it  should  go.  Annette  had  not  forgotten 
her  question,  however..  She  took  my  arm  with 
proud  elation,  and  wanted  to  know  whether  I 
was  very  spiritufl  when  I  wrote,  and  if  I  ever 
talked  about  things  she  could  understand. 

I  described  literature  as  a  profes.sion  as  clearly 
and  succintlj*  as  I  could  ;  and,  divested  of  the 
lofty  adjectives  with  which  we  usually  orna- 
ment the  subject,  it  looked  wonderfully  like 
any  other  business.  • 

"  But  you  are  rich,  and  so  youn*? !  It  must 
be  delightful  to  \(Tite.  See  the  }>e.re. ;  he  has 
been  working  more  than  40  years;  and  what 
has  he  got  / — a  inechante  barqtie  de  phheur  or 
two." 

"Annette  dear,  inde**d  I  am  not  rich — indeed 
you  must  not  believe  that.  1  have  scarcely  a 
hundred  pounds  in  the*  world.  I  write  for  mj- 
living — mv  livinir  is  not  your  father's,  you 
know.  H  Ilerv*'',  for  instance,  had  been  brought 
up  as  I  have  been,  ho  couldn't  have  lived  for  a 
month  as  he  ha.s#>een  living  for  years.'* 

'*  I  see,"  .she  .said  reflectively.  "  Pauvrr  ami  ; 
and  1  have  nothing  to  give  him — not  even  a 
white  hand  he'd  bo  ashame<l  of.""  - 

And  she  extended  her  liand  disparagingly.  As 
I  kissed  it,  she  said  softly  : 

•'  I  have  only  my  love." 

She  resume"!  in  a  moment. 

"  But  you  have  rfe  la  famillr  f  You  are  not 
quite  alone  ^" 

••  I  have  an  imclo — a  milord  rich  and  mighty. 
But-  we  quarreled  ;  he  insulted  lue.  I  would 
rather  die  than  ask  anything  of  him." 

And  I  told  her  the  .story  of  tho  feud.  How  her 
cheeks  flame<l  !  how  the  pride  of  her  race  spoke 
in  the  soft  brown  eyes  f  When  I  finished  she 
threw  hor  arms  alwJut  my  neck,  and  cried  in- 
diernantly. 

*"■  Jloi'je  Vaitrai  tit^  le  Mchc  /  And  ho  bears 
your  name  T' 

J'  Henry  Vallance.  Vallance  Place,  Hants,"  I 
^swfcred,  laughing  at  her  vehement  denuncia- 
tion. 

The  novel  progressed  rapidly.  My  love,  the 
new  gladness  of  my  life,  gave  me  courage — 
gave  me  genius,  perhaps,  for  the  moment.  For 
once  I  could  read  what  I  had  written  and  feel 
satisfied.  It  was  arranged  that  1  should  spe^k 
to  Le  Houx  directly  the  book  was  in  the  prin- 
ter's hands.  It  was  approaching  completion, 
when  I  .suddenly  stopped  short  at  an  incident 
that  uecessitaled  some  practical  experience  of  a 
fisherman's  life  at  sea.  I  was  at  tho  Grand  Caf^ 
— the  raf4  favored  by  officers  of  the  garrison — 
when  Lieutenant  Ch'asseloup  suddenly  observed 
between  two  absinthes  : 

'■  There's  a  stupid  account  in  the  (iaulois  of  a 
night  passed  on  board  a  fishinjr-smack.  I  have 
done  the  thing  myself ;  the  writers  quite 
wrong." 

I  had  become  slightly  acquainted  with  the 
lively  Lieutenant  of  cha-sseurs,  who  saluted 
me  '  on  my  arrival.  He  was  Parisian, 
knew  a  lit  lie  English,  was  well  versed 
in  light  literature  of  a  better  class  than 
Paul  de  Kock,  and  altogether  seemed  something 
of  a  living  link  between  my  present  life  and 
civilization. 

**  Indeed  I"  I  exclaimed  ;  and  an  easy  solution 
of  my  literarv  difficulty  presented  itself  to  my 
mind.  "  I  should  like  to  trv  a  night  at  sea  on 
board  a  smack.  Would  a  fibhcrman  take  me,  do 
you  think  f" 

••  I  don't  know.  They  are  a  terribly  inde- 
jiendent  lot.  They  won't  accept  any  money  for 
the  favor,  and  hate  to  have  a  bourgeois  in  their 
way."' 

•■  But  if  you  could  present  me  to  the  skipper 
who  accommodated  you." 

'•  Willinglv-  But,  an  fait,  you  know  him.  It 
is  Her\'^  le  lloux. " 

Jly  friend  the  Lieutenant  knew  more  about 
me  than  I  had  told  him.  Ho  added  apologetic- 
ally: 

*'  I  see  Le-Houx  now  and  then  ;  he  brings  fish 
for  the  mess  to  tho  castle.  I  think  ho  told  mo 
you  were  staj-ing  at  his  uncle's  house." 

I  assented. 

••  A-^k  Herv^ — he'll  be  delighted  ;  and  now  is 
your  time.  The  nights  are  (lark.  It  will  l>e  pic- 
turesque CM  diablf,'' 

I  adopted  bis  auggrestion.  and  the  next  day 
asked  Herv^  on  what  night  he  could  receive  me. 
He  had  accomplished  the  nightly  piquet  as 
regularly  as  ever  during  the  foregoing  month, 
but  he  bad  not  the  same  air  of  stolid  confidence  ; 
and  moreover  I  was  told  ho  had  begun  to  drink 
abnormal  quantities  of  the  thin  Dieppe  piquette 
obtained  from  the  slopes  surrounding  the  town. 
It  seemed  a  cruel  injustice  to  ascribe  any  moral 
phenomenon  to  the  infiuence  of  tho  local  vint- 
age. You  must  be  Dieppoi.s,  and  po.*we3sed 
moreover  of  a  strong  determination  to  avoid 
tho  enn  »i  of  going  to  bed  slightly  so- 
ber before  you  can  order  the  thin 
claret  sold  in  the  Pollet  with  anything 
like  confidence  as  to  the  result.  Having 
made  up  your  mind,  having  resolved  upon  in 
ebriety  at  any  cost,  you  can  achieve  your  pur- 
pose after  several  hours  of  strenuous  ingurgi- 
tation.  With  patience  and  practice,  I  suppose  a 
man  could  brutalize  himself  ■«-ith  Jfenr  frortinges  ; 
a  slightly  smaller  effort,  and  one  cau  produce  in- 
toxication with  the  Pollet  vin.  I  am  unable  to 
say  whether  Hery^  made  that  effort  frequently, 
but  I  heard  at  all  hours  M.  le  Houx  lamenting 
to  his  wife  and  neighbors  that  the  *'  gargon  was 
going  wrong.'"  1  bad  not  much  communication 
with  the  gar^on,  and  was  absolutely  indifferent 
as  to  his  moral  transformation.  He  scowled  at 
me  now  and  then  with  a  loose,  lumbering  move- 
ment of  his  shoulders;  but  I  regarded  that  as 
a  natural  and  pardonable  manifestation  of  jeal- 
ousy. I  knew  that  he  had  divined  our  secret, 
and  I  was  puzzled  to  account  for  tho  fact 
that  he  had  not  divulged  it.  But  in  spite 
of  surly  looks  and  lacomc  answers,  we  were 
good  fnends  enough  to  warrant  mo  in  requesting 
him  to  receive  me  on  board  the  Vigie  some  dull 
December  night,  when  the  dan^rous  side  of  his 
profession  would  be  most  visible.  He  did  not 
assent  at  first.  3Iy  proposition  appeared  to 
trouble,  even  to  irritate,  liim.  There  was  not 
much  in  the  lugger ;  I  .should  bo  put  to  serious 
inconvenience,  taken  from  my  work  for  a 
couple  of  days  perhaps.  And  then,  with  a  side- 
long glance  of  suspicion,  he  added : 

"And  there  is  nothing  worth  seeing;  that  is 
to  say,  if  monsieur  only  wants  to  join  us  en  sim- 
ple citrieux." 

"  Surely,"  I  replied.  *'  I  don't  want  to  organ- 
ize a  smuggling  expedition,  and  I  have  no 
piratical  intentions  with  regard  to  the  Vigie." 

"Very  well,"  he  said  reluctantly,  "  as  mon- 
sieur wishes ;  only  I  am  afraid  he  will  be  dis- 
appointed— vmi,  1  am  afraid. 

On  the  nignt  of  Christmas  eve  I  was  up  stairs 
in  my  little  room,  abusing  Marshal  MacMahon. 
at  two  pounds  a  column,  for  a  doctrinaire  week- 
ly of  gloomy  views  on  all  subjects  not  con- 
nected with  land-tenure  reform,  when  I  heard 
Herv^'s  voice  below.    Ho  was  hailing  me. 

"Monsieur  Vallance!  CeUt  vort-il  pour  ee 
soir!"* 

I  bade  him  come  up.  He  waa  shiny  and 
crackling  in  oilskin,  and  wore  a  fur  cap  with 
lappets.  Annette  had  gone  to  the  midnight 
mass,  having  begged  me  not  to  accompany  her. 
To  be  seen  at  church  with  a  monsieur  was  a 
public  announcement  of  a  forthcoming  mar- 
riage, or  of  something  worse  in  tho  past. 
Herv6  would  not  sit  down,  and  declined  the 
brandy  and  water  I  suggested  as  an  appropriate 
refreshment  in  such  weather. 

^^  X2^e'sj)P.jtiUae  to.  l^Si!4MsBada^lnfwdl7j.. 


watching  me  put  a  few  &ings  into  a  bag  snd 
struggle  into  top-boots  and  a  pilot-coat  **  the 
tide  will  be  out  in  an  hour,  and  I  most  huvry 
on  board.  Claude  and  Bamabig  aren't  worth  a 
liard  left  to  themselves." 

Outside  a  thin  drizzling  rain  was  falling,  like 
a  substanstial  and  peculiarly  penetrating  xnist, 
H»rv6  explained  that  he  hoped  to  be  back  by 
this  time  to-morrow  night ;  and  seeing  what 
weather  we  were  likelj  to  have,  I  was  rather 
pleased  to  reflect  that  my  experience  would  last 
but  24^  hours.  I  slippm  and  scrambled  on 
to  the  deok  of  the  lugger.  Everything  I  touched 
was  icy  cold,  sticky,  and  smelled  of  fish.  Claude 
and  Bamal>6  were  at  work  at  the  windlass, 
lightening  the  labor  with  a  lugubrious  chaxit 
^at  to  my  mind  suggested  shipwreck,  empty 
nets,  every  c^amity  incidental  to  navigation  and 
fishing. 

Once  past  Notre  Dame  de  Bon  ^oconr,  where 
the  sailors  signed  themselves ;  once  at  sea, 
plunging  and  rolling  with  cracking  cordage 
and  groaning  spars,  I  began  to  qxperience  the 
restless  longing  of  the  land.sman  for  something 
new — an  Incident,  a  danger — the  itching  to  do 
something,  to  free  one^s  self  from  the  paralysis  of 
the  mere  passenger,  conveyed  inert  from  port 
to  ^rt  like  a  bale  of  merchandise.  Herv^  was 
taciturn,  and  answered  my  questions  as  briefly 
as  possible.  The  Information  extracted  from 
Claude  and  Bamab4  was  conveyed  in  sitch  an 
uncouth  dialect,  and  enveloped  in  snch  an 
abundance  of  technicalities,  that  one  must  have 
studied  the  theory  of  navigation  and  lived  in 
the  Pollet  for  several  years  to  bo  able  to  profit 
by  it.  I  turned  in  at  dawn,  stretched  myself 
{u.  the  process  of  fitting  oneself  into  the  rough 
wooden  coffin  that  served  as  bed  can  be  so 
so  described)  in  the  bunk  prepared  for  me,  and 
fell  asleep,  dreaming  of  the  novel  and  Annette. 

I  awoke  at  midday.  Herv6  was  sitting  oppo- 
site me  eating  bread  and  oheese,  with  a  large 
clasp-knife  open  before  him.  He  said  nothing 
as  I  sat  up,  yawned,  and  proceeded  to  draw  on 
my  boots,  but  shut  his  knife  quickly,  and  put  it 
in  his  pocket. 

"Well,  what  fortune  T"  I  said  cheerily,  open- 
ing my  bag  and  extracting  therefrom  Lyons 
sausage  sandwiches  and  three  bottles  of  Bur- 
gundy, with  which  I  purposed  regaling  the 
crew. 

"Oh,  good,"  he  answered;  "a  fine  haul  at 
every  coup." 

I  offered  mv  provisions.  He  shook  his  head 
and  finished  his  bread  and  cheese.  The  wine 
tempted  him,  I  could  see,  but  he  refused  it. 
Did  some  old  social  law  of  the  Pollet  forbid  a 
man  to  break  bread  or  touch  glasses  with  his 
rival  ?  We  mounted  the  steep  companion-lad- 
der together.  The  sea  waa  gray  and  sullen  ;  the 
night  would  be  squally.  I  could  see  the 
dim  uncertain  line  of  the  Sussex  coast, 
a  dot  or  two  in  the  distance — that  was  all.  The 
nets  came  up  at  regular  inter\-als  full,  as  the 
skipper  had  said.  Claude  and  Bamab^  were 
scaly  from  head  to  foot,  like  verj-  swarthy  and 
dirty  harlequins.  I  saw  shining,  quivering 
masses  in  the  baskets  in  the  tank.     I   began  to 

gerceive  that  the  realities  of  the  hardy  fisher's 
fe  are  uot  exactly  photographetl  by  Op^ra 
Comique  librettists. 

This  Christmas  Dav  was  the  longest  I  ever 
spent.  I  essayed  a  little  fishing  on  my  own 
account,  and  gave  it  up  in  despair.  'WTien  night 
came  on  I  introduced  mv  Burgimdy  to  MM. 
Claude  and  Barnab6.  and  fierv^  cx>mpleted  the 
feast  with  a'  flask  of  brandy.  The  skipper  did 
not  seem  afraid  of  what  was  likely  to  ensue  ; 
he  remained  on  deck.  There  was  nothing 
festive  about  his  speech  or  manner,  albeit  I 
noticed  that  during  the  day  he  took  frequent 
pulls  at  a  stone  jar  that  omitted  strong 
spirituous  odors.  The  men  were  becoming 
noisy,  and  their  pafoia  was  not  rendered  more 
intelligible  by  brandy  and  Burgundy.  I  went 
on  deck,  and  found  that  we  were  making  for 
Dieppe,  but  very  slowly.  Her\'t'  was  at  the 
helm ;  the  breeze  was  freshening  every  mo- 
ment, and  the  lugger  quivered  and  plunged 
under  shortened  aaU.  I  stood  in  the  bows  and 
watched  the  white  crests  divide,  with  showers 
of  spray  hissing  and  spitting  as  our  stem  cut 
through  them.  Then  a  man  came  from  below 
and  took  the  helm,  and  Hervf'  was  beside  me, 
sullenly  staring  into  the  sullen  waters. 

I  made  a  light  remark  about  the  rising  squall. 
I  was  heartily  sick  of  my  experiment.  The 
darkness,  tho  black  slimy  deck,  tne  squalor,  the 
surly  coarseness  of  the  drinkers,  and  this 
man's  lowering  face  irritated  and  di.sqtueted 
me.  I  repeated  my  remark,  and  added 
angrily,  **  The  storm  seems  to  deafen 
you."  He  looked  up  :  t  could  not  see  his  face, 
but  it  scowled  threateningly,  I  was  sure.  He 
said  slowly,  chewing  his  words : 

'*  And  Annette  is  praving  for  her  beau  mon- 
sievr  out  in  the  storm. 

I  thought  tho  stone  jar  had  taken  effect,  and 
answered  tranquilly : 

"Annette's  prayers  don't  matter  to  you  or  to 
me.  Turn  in  and  ^t  some  rest ;  you'll  need  all 
your  strength  to-night." 

*'I  have  watched  you — watched  you  night 
and-day  ;  I  have  seen  it  all — the  pretty  scenes 
d'amotir  on  tho  road  over  the  cliffs. 

He  was  sober,  and  in  earnest. 

"Well,  what  of  that?  You  have  played  the 
spy.  You  know  that  she  will  be  my  wife ;  that 
is   enough.      No  more  of  her  from  you  to  me." 

"Bah!  your  love  making — ^what  do  I  care 
about  it  ?  It  isn't  that,  man.  I  was  to  marry 
Annette,"  he  went  on  doggedly  ;  "the  pira  Le 
Houx  is  d  son  aise.  I  should  have  had  his 
schooner,  built  iu  '68.  La  Marianne ;  I  should 
have  gone  to  Holland — ^to  Sweden — been 
quit  of  this  cursed  herring  and  mackereL 
Corps  de  Dieu  !  and  you  have  stolen  it  all ! " 

"Annette's  well  rid  of  you,  if  that  is  all  you 
regret." 

"  Listen.  We  are  making  for  Newhaven  ;  you 
will  land  there.  Below  you  will  take  pen  and 
ink  and  write  to  her,  saying  that  you  can't 
marry  her  ;  and  you'll  swear  by  your  virgin,  if 
on  have  got  one,  never  to  return  to  Dieppe, 
^o  you  hear  i" 

"  I  hear.  You  are  mad.  I  shall  land  at  New- 
haven,  if  you  like,  but  to  take  tho  steamer,  to 
Dieppe." 

"X  on  will  never  land  anywhere !" 

And  his  hand  was  at  my  throat,  bending  me 
backward  over  the  bulwark,  pressing  me  into 
the  jaws  of  death.  I  could  not  cry  out ;  I  was 
half  strangled;  the  salt  spray  blinded  me.  X 
struck  out  desperately  at  hazard,  and  then  there 
was  deeper  night  than  before — the  maddening 
gurgle  of  water  in  my  ears,  the  sharp  salt  taste 
in  my  mouth  and  nostrils.  I  came  panting  to 
the  surface,  and  the  keen  wintry  wind  seemed 
to  freeze  my  hair  into  an  icy  cap  as  my  head 
rose  above  the  surface.    I  heard  Ilerv^'s  cry  : 

*'B' Anglais  overboard!" 

The  lugger  was  making  good  speed,  and  I  was 
a  bad  swimmer  in  the  fairest  of  weather.  1 
tried  to  float;  the  waves  choked  me  at  every 
moment.  I  heard  voices  on  board  the  Vigie, 
angry  voices  it  seemed  to  me. 

**  It  is  madness.  You  can't  live  a  moment  in 
such  a  sea." 

"Ill  try,  totU  de  mfme — such  good  Burgundy 
he  gave  us."  % 

*'  DSpeche-toiy  Claude.  Ill  rig  up-  a  rope  for 
you." 

The  voices  rose ;  a  brief  violent  discussion 
was  going  on.  The  first  speakers  were  Claude 
and  BamabS,  I  imagined.  Then  I  heard  faint 
sounds  of  a  struggle ;  then  something  plunged 
into  the  sea,  and  I  remember  nothing  more. 

CHAPTER  m. 

My  first  recollection  is  of  my  own  quiet  little 
room  in  the  Pollet.  Somebody  in  soft  cloth 
brodequins  moved  across  it  now  and  then.  I 
felt  faint  of  heart  and  mind,  powerle.ss  to  realiM 
what  had  happened  to  me  for  many,  many 
years. 

"  Some  one  there?"  I  said  at  last  in  English. 
"Emily!" 

It  was  the  first  woman's  name  I  cotild  remem- 
ber. I  am  not  romantic,  even  on  a  sick  bed.  I 
said  Emily  because,  being  for  the  nonce  a 
school-boy  with  a  bad  attack  of  measles,  it 
seemed  natural  that  the  companion  of  my 
sick  chamber  should  bear  that  name.  Emily 
Vallance!  She  had  undergone  an  extraondinary 
change,  though.  She  had  developed  into  a 
small  shapely  young  woman,  with  short  skirts, 
and  worsted  stockings,  and  cotton  fichus.  She 
came  to  my  bedside  and  sidd  softly  : 

** Doucement  doucement ;  youare  getting  well." 

Of  course' I  waa,  and  getting  lazy,  too  ;  for  it 
seemed    delightful    to    be    lying  there  at  full 
length,  warm,  and  thinking  of  nothing.'     My^ 
he£^  was  cooler,  my  brain  clearer,  when  I  next 
woke.    Emily  was  Annette  unmistakably  I

that  supreme  indifference   to  time  and  Mason 
and  locality  which  is  one  of  the  chief  delights  of 
sickness — a  dehght  I  would  almost  catch  the  ty-:, 
phus  to  experience.

was  pale  and  tired  and  melancholy.  I  stretched' 
out  my  hand  to  her,  and  she  came  and^  whis- 
pered,' satisfied  that  I  was  sane  and  really  geV 
ting  well : 

•'  A  long  while,  paiwre  enfant,  and  so  ill !" 

I  had  had  a  sharp  attack  of  rheumatic  UeveflD. 
that  lasted  three  weeks,  during  whi<^T  ha^ 
been  delirous.  But,  onr«  the  fever  «>ent,  my 
recovery  was  rapid-  I  was  young,  of^  vigorous 
constitution,  active  habits,  and  I  rebminded 
from  a  three  week's  sick  bed  with  all  the  elas- 
ticity such  advantages  give  one.  And  yet  it 
was'pleasant  there,  in  the  curtained  room,  my 
desk  and  papers  in  sight,  and  in  my  mind  fiU 
the  vague  dreams,  the  shapeless  poema,  ^e 
skeletons  of  books  and  essays  they  evoked. 
Annette  could  not  be  with  me  so  often  after  Uie 
first  days  of  convalescence,  f^es  a>v*tuiticet

Madame'  le  Hotix  allowed  her  to  come 
up  once  or  twice  a  day,  to  warm  my

gentian,  it  was  their  panacea — to  bring  my  let*

spondent  coiua  oe  safely  addressed  in  French.  I 
foond,  poor  child,  that  she  had  been  studying 
£n|^sh,  and  really  with  marvelous  results.  She 
coiud  understand  the  general  import  of  the 
most  barbarous  bnsiness  mLssive  in  which 
"  Yours  to  band  "  and  "  Acct.  currt."  were  not 
too  frequent  And  she  had  accomplished  this 
fdl  alone,  with  the  sole  intuition  of  love. 
"*  "  I  cotild  not  beat;  to  hear  you  speak  and  not 
understand,"  she  said,  in  the*  broken  hesitating 
English  which  I  correct. 

"  And  nobodv  has  giv«i  you  lessens  ?" 

"  Nobody.  Who  could,  here,  to  a  simple  flsh- 
ermaa's  dau^ter  t  I  have  les.son  books.  The 
cur^  lent  me  some,  and  an  English  lodger  we 
once  had  left  a  few  volumes." 

I  bad  not  spoken  of  the  night  passed  on 
board  the  Vigie,  and  Herv^'s  name  had  not  been 
mentioned.  I  had  risen,  and  was  sitting  in  mv 
dressing-gown  before  the  flaming  logs,  when  1 
first  spoke  of  him. 

"  And  Herv6 — is  he  'well  !" 

I  had  no  wish  to  denounce  the  lad,  and  spoke 
in  an  indifferent  tone.  But  she  stopped  short. 
She  was  arranging  my  papers,  and  looked  at  me 
flxedlv  with  a  fleeting  color  in  her  cheeks. 

"  Herv^  !  He  is  well,  I  think.  And  that  re- 
minds me  M.  le  Doctcnr  wants  to  speak  to  you 
to-dav." 

This  was  the  visit  I  dreaded.  We  were  In  the 
fourth  week  of  January ;  a  month's  pre- 
scriptions and  visits  ana  medidncs  t  What 
would  be  left  of  my  slender  stock  when 
every  thing  was  paid  I  Should  I  bo  obliged 
to  return  to  London,  with  my  aovpl  nn- 
flnlshed,  two  months  before  the  appointed 
time  ?  Here  was  the  weariness  of  tho 
world  seizing  me  again  when  I  bad  juBt  missed 
the  ^tes  of  death.  The  doctor  was  blithe  and 
familiar,  something  between  the  fisherman's 
doctor  and  the  m^cal  confidant  of  Parisian 
gommenses  en  viUegiattire.  But  his  round  rosy 
face  darkened,  grew  wonderfully  serious,  when 
Annette  had  left  us  together.  He  began  with 
an  important  air : 

"  Yon  don't  intend  to  stay  here  long,  M.  Val- 
lance 1" 

I  was  slightly  IndignanL  Was  the  man  anx- 
ious about  his  bill  ( 

"  Yes,  I  do — two  or  three  months." 

"  Don't,  nu>n  cher  monsieur,  don't," 

"Why,  I  come  here  to  work ;  my  work  is  not 
completed,  and — " 

He  bent  forward,  more  importont  than   ever. 

"When  you  were  brought  hero  by  the  sailor 
Claude,  and  I  was  sent  for,  I  found  recent 
bruises  about  your  neck— the  marks  of  a  man's 
fingers.  You  raved  a  little,  and  what  I  heard 
helped  me  to  the  conclusion  that  you  had  better 
not  stay  here.    You  are  really  not  safe  here. " 

It  was  not  his  bill,  it  was  his  patient's  life  the 
little  doctor  was  anxious  about. 

"  You  know,  then  ? " 

"  I  know  that  young  Le  Houx  bears  the  repu- 
tation of  a  gaillard,  who  knows  how  to  keep  his 
own,  and  I  believe  he  regarded  Mile.  Annette 
as  his." 

"Her  monev,  you  mean,"  I  said,  indignantlv. 

"  Maybe,  fiut  evil  things  are  .said  in  the 
town  aboiit  what  goes  on  here.  I  may  tell  you 
in  confidence  that  the  eommissnire  intends  to'  in- 
quire into  the  matter.  Claude  and  Bamab<5 
have  let  out  some  damaging  facts  about  that 
night  when — well,  when  you  fell  overboard. 
Herv^  will  surely  be  arrested  if  you  .remain 
here.  You  gone,  all  will  blow  over ;  and  if  you 
stay  il  reeommencera,"  with  an  expressive  gest- 
ure. 

.  I  promised  nothing  ;  but  wlien  he  had  gone  I 
thought  seriously  of  his  recommendation.  The 
danger  was  not  worth  thinking  of.  Herv(? 
wotild  not  repeat  liis  attempt ;  and  in  any  ca.se 
I  was  forewarned.  But  the  talk  of  a  little  town 
like  Dieppe  was  to  be  drea<led.  Would  it  not 
ricochet  from  me  to  Annette,  from  Annette  to 
Herv^,  confusing  us  all  in  one  of  those  medleys 
of  scandal  that  delight  the  provincial  mind  f 
Had  I  not  been  given  to  understand  that  the  at- 
tention of  the  commissary  had  already  been 
called  to  No.  13  Rue  de  la  Poissonnerie  ?  I  saw 
tnyself  confronted  with  the  flsher-lad  in  a  digny 
office  of  tho  Mairie,  I  saw  sensation- 
al paragraphs  in  the  Gazette  des  Tribw- 
naux.  'The  doctor  was  right,  I  must  vacate 
my  present  quarters.  And  then  recurred  that 
terrible  problem  of  pounds,  shillings,  and  pence 
— the  Sphinx  with  the  hieroglvphics  £  s.  a.  that 
frowns  us  down  into  "men  of  business "  in  our 
fiercest  moment  of  heroism,  in  our  fairest  hour 
of  poesv.  ^ly  illness,  I  took  it,  must  have 
angularly  complicated  my  financial  position. 
Labors  that  were  to  provide  for  the  immediate 
future  had  been  neglected ;  letters  had  been 
left  unanswered ;  all  the  rapid  machinery  (the 
mill  is  full  of  cranks  and  wheels,  though  it  oc- 
casionally grinds  no  grain)  of  a  literary  life 
had  been  stopped,  and  the  result  was  something 
like  momentary  bankruptcy.  I  was  engaged  in' 
an  inquiry  into  my  liabilities,  when  Annette  ap- 
peared. She  was  watching  me  quietly  when  I 
first  perceived  her  in  the  doorway.  I  fancied 
her  smile  when  our  eyes  met  was  less  joyous 
and  infantine  than  usual. 

"  Are  you  looking — for  letters?"  she  said. 

I  drew  her  to  a  seat-  I  must  explain  the  rea- 
son of  my  inqiury,  but  explanation  was  difficult 
for  a  simple  lover  who  had  never  mentioned 
worldly  goods  to  his  future  wife. 

"  You  see,  Annette,"  I  began,  "  I  am  not  rich. 
My  illne.ss  must  have  been  expensive."  I  as- 
sumed a  light  tone,  which  did  not  make  her 
smile.  "And  I  find  I  must  leave  the  Pollet  for 
a  while  ;  so  I  want  to  settle  my  accounts."  This 
last  with  an  audacious  riish. 

"  Leave  us !''  was  all  she  said. 

"  Not '  us,*  then  ;  leave  this  room — not  the 
dear  girl  that  gladdens  it." 

After  that  I  think  our  conversation  took  a 
highly  lyrical  tone.  But  lyricism  ended  in  this 
case  as  it  seldom  does. 

*•  Hillo !"  I  cried,  '^  why,  I  have  £33  left !'' 

"  Vrai .'"  said  Annette,  looking  over  my 
shoulder  and  pinching  me  vehemently. 

'*  T'rnt.'"Iwas  perfectly  serious — suspicious 
even.  "  There  was  not  more  than  40  pounds  in 
that  bag  when — well,  when  I  fell  in.  What 
have  you  been  doing  T' 

I  turned  on  her  fiercely,  i>oor  child.  I  fancied 
a  thousand  humiliating  things — a  thousand  in- 
tolerable sacrifices.     She  smiled  confidently. 

"  Oh,  you  don't  know  tho  value  of  a  flve-franc 
piece  !    0  ce  mHord  r 

And  she  indulged  in  a  gesture  that  I  had 
seen  Thfir^sa  excel  in.  But  I  did  not  like  it.  in 
spite  of  its  artistic  antecedents.  I  was  puzzled. 
I  had  excellent  reasons  for  supposing  that  M.  le 
Houx  did  not  consider  rheumatic  fever  on  ex- 
cuse for  not  paying  one's  debts.  Mv  bills  had 
been  regularly  presented  and  paid,  ^ere  they 
were  among  my  papers,  bearing  the  comforting 
pour  acquit  and  sprawling  signature.  Annette  ob- 
served my  perplexed  countenance  witn  evident 
amusement.  She  was  gayer  than  I  had  yet  seen 
her. 

"  AUons,**  she  said,'"  you  are  a  fine  writer  " — 
this  with  a  bewitching  little  curtsy — * '  but  you 
are  shamefully  ignorant  of  book-keepinR." 

"Annette,  you  have  not  interfered  in  this? 
It  would  be  wrong — very  wrong — and  most  pain- 
ful to  me." 

"What  a  child  he  is!  No,  no.  I  have  no 
money  to  give.  And  do  you  imagine  that  I 
have  been  thinking  about  de  gros  sous  while 
you  were  lying  there  I  It's  bad — it's  bad  of 
you  1" 

•  I  could  not  comprehend ;  but  I  had  faith.  1 
must  have  miscalculated,  forgotten,  or  lost 
sight  of  a  bank  note  in  some  comer  of  tho 
bag.  Or  else  my  fever  had  troubled  my  mem- 
ory. 

I  returned  to  the  hotel.  Herv^  remained  in- 
visible. Annette  and  I  met  often  on  the  bleak 
road  to  Puvs,  and  as  her  character  unfolded  it- 
self to  me  I  began  to  lose  all  anxiety  as  to  her 
reception  in  the  only  society  for  whose  verdict  I 
cared.  Heaven  knows  how  tho  little  witch  bad 
learned  many  things  that  ore  not  taught  in  the 
Ppllet.  One  day  she  would  mention  Gounod's 
"  Faust,"  with  an  unmistakable  knowledge  of  its 
legend  and  its  music,  though  I  am  afraid  she 
openly  professed  a  preference  for  Lecocq.  But 
1  have  met  far  greater  ladies  who  sinned  In  the 
same  way.  Then  her  perception  was  quick 
where  her  knowledge  was  slight.  She  under- 
stood allusions  to  current  events  and  historical 
examples.  If  a  parallel  between  Monk  and 
MacMahon  did  not  present  itself  to  her  mind 
with  perfect  distinctness,  she  guessed  its  mean- 
ing in  a  trice.  Sbe  knew  that  Dumas  had 
written  the  Dame  aux  Cam^iaa  and  Victor 
Hugo  Quatre'Vingt-treize.  She  knew  that 
Walter  Scott  was  an  historical  novelist,  and 
Milton  a  religious  poet.  I  doubt  whether  she 
had  ever  read  any  really  famous  or  valuable 
book,  whether  she  had  ever  attained  a  clear 
reasonable  conception  of  an  historical  event ; 
but  she  had  read  books  and  newspapess  that 
dealt  with  such  things  lightly  and  amusingly, 
gathering  crumbs  and  shreds  of  knowledge  from 
chance  conversations,  and  she  had  acquired  the 
most  valuable  art  of  making  a  knowledge  of 
names  pass  for  the  knowledge  of  things.  In  a 
word  she  had  the  supreme  social  virtue — tact 

Hy  novel  was  finished.  I  was  expecting  the 
last  proof-sheets.  The  first  announcement, 
**  Beady  this  day,"  was  to  bring  me  back  to 
town.  And  in  April  I  was  to  return  and  carry 
home  my  wife. 

I  issued  from  the  Grand  Caf£  one  afternoon 
with  my  friend  the  Lieutenant,  and  met  An- 
nette le  Houx  at  the  comer  of  the  fish  market. 
I  nuide  no  sign.  It  was  arranged  that  I  should 
act  thus.  But  planting  himself  in  the  middle  of 
the  pavement,  and  exhibiting  his  bust  to  the 
best  advantage,  M.  le  Lieutenant  made  an 
elaborate  and  seductive  bow.  Annette,  ool- 
oring.  had  passed  ere  his  salntation  was  com- 
pleted. 

"  That  is  my  former  landlord's  daughter,"  I 
said  carelessly,  and  with  a  fierce  desire  to  pick  a 
qtzarrel  with  the  Lieutenant  on  the  spot. 

"  MUe.  Le  Houx ;  yes."  And  my  friend  aa- 
sumed  his  laekfldalsical  Bon]^T«rd  air. '

xne.  Bat  on  the  nlorrow  I  arose  late,  feel- 
ing tmreasonably  angty,  and  afthamed  of 
my  anger.  It  was  market-day.  The  beU» 
of  Saint  Pierre  seemed  to  ring  ceaselessly,. 
and  I  could  not,  for  the  life  of  me,  help  settinjg 
pjeposterous  meaningless  sontences  to  tho 
monotonous  tune.  The  market-place  was  fiilL

Seemed  to  have  faded.  I  no  lonfrer  t^ired  to  ob-

I  wondered  how  a  toan  could  write  balf  a  p'Jkgo 
about  It.  There,  at  the  coraerof  a  stall,  hedged 
in  by  two  Btalwi^  women-porters,  I  came-far« 
to  face  with  Herv^  lo  Honx.  His  morning  had 
been  spent  at  the  wine-shop,  I  could  see.  This 
was  our  first  meeting  ;  and  I.  the  victim,  waa 
certainly  more  embarrassed  than  the  assassin. 
I  w»^  passing  without  appearing  to  notiee  him. 
when  he  turned  towards  me,  as  though  a  sudden 
idea  had  struck  him. 

"  H6,  Monsienr  I'Anglais  T 

I  supposed  be  was  senselessly  drank,  airiU 
dreading  a  scene  in  the  market-place,  made  no 
reply.  But,  not  bolnterously — not  very  dSwspur- 
teonsly  even — he  came  neifer,  and  saldixaa* 
quilly : 

"  Yon  should  see  aW  the  sigbtJ<before  you  go.* 

"  You  are  mad  to  speak  to  me.    Go  yomrway.* 

He  contlnned  Imperturbably,  in  a  tone  of 
irony : 

'*  "rhe  best  sight  is    at  the  ramparts  to-da^ 

He  elbowed  his  way  into  the  crowd.  I  did  not 
reason  or  pause,  but  strode  blindly  toward  the 
ramparts,  I  scarcely  knew  why. 

There  where  I  met  her,  at  the  angle  of  tho 
useless  battery,  I  stood  waiting — for  what  I  Xot 
a  reader  but  guesses,  but  I  could  not  say.  At 
nightfall  I  heard  voices  on  the  other  sideof  the 
battery.  Then  there  stole  forth  a  slifirht  active 
figure,  the  figure  of  a  woman.  1  followed  her^ 
down  that  interminable  Grande  Rue,  keepii^ 
well  in  sliadow  this  time — foUuwcsd  her  to  the 
cathedraL 

I  dared  not  enter.  I  know  not  what  I  feared. 
But  I  waited.  In  a  few  minutes  she  reappeared 
alone,  and  I  followed  her  still — follow^  ov^r 
the  swinging  bridge.  C<^llowed  through  the  iU- 
Mved  melancholy  streets  of  the  Pollet — to  tho  '■ 
Rue  de  la  Poissonnerie.  Passionless  1  should, 
have  guessed  it  all  in  a  moment.  As  it  was  t 
went  home  merely  pnziled,  p&iufully  pnzz.led« 
holf-d-oubting  perhaps,  but  realizing  nothing. 

I  read  th.e  announcement  of  Emily's  marriage 
that  evening,  and  wrote  a  conuBionplaco  letter 
of  congTl^ulation.  The  next  nnoming  I  mt^L 
Annette.  She  was  charming,  and  I  did  not — 
dared  not — spe,ak  of  the  ramparts.  She  had 
familiarized  herself  with  her  position,  and  her 
hands  were  ready  to  caress,  her  lips  bolder  in 
their  lo\-ing  prattle.  It  was  no  longer  a  fisher- 
lass  I  waa  marrying,  but  a  lady — derioa*^^  if  you 
will — a  piquant  flavor  of  Bohemia  aboat  ter, 
but  graceful,  intelligent,  refined.  And  that  was 
the  last  day. 

The  next  morning  I  received  two  letters  ;  one 
from  my  uncle,  the  other  from  an  old  friend,  a 

Saintor  who  was  illustrating  a  story  of   mine, 
[y  uncle  wrote  laconically  : 

•*  Deab  Stephen  :  Your  note  moans  that  y©a 
are  well,  I  trust  and  supptiso.  I  thank  yon  for 
yonr  good  wishes  in  Emil}'*s  bt^half.  But  indi- 
vidually I  Aould  have  beeu  more  favorably  im- 
pres.sed  by  your  present  attentions  had  you  con- 
descended to  aclmowledge  my  letter  and  remits 
tanco  of  the  29th  ultimo.'' 

I  did  not  open  Bertram's  letter.  1  was  stunned 
by  what  I  had  read.  Wa*-  the  old  man  mad  or 
dreaming  I  I  wrote  ha.sti!y  and  somewhat  vio- 
lently, I  am  afraid,  to  Vallance  Place,  and  th*"!!! 
shot  myself  up  sullenlv  to  write  the  pre&ce  \<* 
my  novel,  a  preface  f  had  originally  intonded 
to  be  OS  profound  and  revolutionary  as  that  of 
Victor  Hugo's  Crom^ceU^  Now.  I  made  it  a  snarl- 
ing address  to  *' indolent  irresponsible  revi»:-w- 
ers.*'  &c.  Annette  was  away  at  Puys.  So  for 
two  days  I  broodefi  and  wrote  alone — thanfc 
Providence  the  writing  is  not  printed  I  Thea 
on  the  third  day — the  day  of  her  return — I  had 
a  letter  :  «^ 

"  Mr  Dear  Stephen  :  I  am  quite  unable  to 
understand  your  letter.  Here  is  the  communi- 
cation mode  to  me  during  your  illness,  a  com- 
mimication  which  I  auswtied  by  a  check  for 
£20." 

And  surely  enough  I  read  inclof^ed  an  -appli-' 
cation  in  my  behalf  to  my  uncle.  It  was  written 
in  French,  and  said  tljat  on  my  sick-bed  E 
desired  to  be  at  peace  with  my  family^  it  said 
that  I  was  poor,  that  mv  sickne.'v<  would  im- 
poverish me  still  more  :  and  it  asked  formoney^ 
and  it  was  signed  ^\nneue  le  Houx. 

I  was  face  to  face  with  her — my  heroine — in  a 
few  minutes.  I  was  calm — the  blood  that  had. 
been  boiling  with  htimiliation  and  disappoint- 
ment, with  the  shame  and  .sorrow  of  the  dupe^ 
seemed  like  solid  ice  in  my  veitL-i. 

•'  You  see  the  letter,"  I  said  calmly. 

And  in  truth  she  soemed  surprised  at  my 
anger.  But  a  heavy.  suUen  look — the  look  of  a 
kitehen-wench  you  have  caught  in  the  act  of 
rifling  the  larder — came  into  those  good  browTi 
eyes  I  had  written  pages  about, 

'  *  Where's  the  harm  f  You're  poor — ^you  siud 
you  were.  I  thought  you  w*»u]d  like  to  be  recon- 
ciled to  your  family.  Ba  famUie  ct-si  tout  whoa 
one  is  poor."  .- 

I  sighed  despairingly,  I  saw  it  all.  Saw  the 
peasant's  hard  positive  calculations,  and  tmder- 
neath  her  glib  Parisian  pi^try  the  bitter  prosa 
of  her  race  and  class.  One  could  not  agree  with, 
such  a  thing  as  that ;  but  one  could  sorrow  for 
the  dream  ended,  mourn  the  deception,  albeiG 
the  deceiver  was  not  worth  a  sigh. 

"  Why  have  you  lied  to  me  ?"  I  said  gently 
and  sadly,  trying  against  hope  to  moke  her 
understand  my  feelings.  "  I  would  not  havo 
betrayed  you  to  those  you  are  at  enmity  with  for 
a  world.  And  to  ask  for  money !  Annette.  An- 
nette, were  you  a  make-believe  from  beginning 
to  end  V 

She  reddened*  Ah  me,  it  was  the  fish-fa* 
faced  me. 

'*  A  make-believe  !  I  didn't  seek  you  out — r 
didn't  follow  vou.  Ask  for  money,  indeed ! 
Why,  you  couldn't  have  paid  father's  bill  if  I 
hadn't  written.  OA,  le  beatt  monsit^tr  A  chcval  wir 
les  principes .'" . 

And,  in  faith,  one  must  take  such  mishaf-s 
gayly ;  there  was  a  gesture  worthy  of  the  Salle 
Valentino.  Thank  heaven  there  was  this  comic 
stand-point  from  which  to  view  the  situation  I  I 
should  have  exploded  otherwise.  As  it  was  I 
answered  calmly  in  about  the  same  manner.  I 
suspect,  as  a  chaplain  Icctoring  a  deliuqueni  in. 
a  reformatory. 

"You  don't  know  the  harm  you  have  douf*. 
You  cannot  understand.  I  was  grievously  mi.-- 
taken."  And  then — I  could  not  help  itr—*"J/i  7- 
twnne,  migtwnne,  s&j  sonfething  to  ease  mo; 
un  moi — it  would  sumce — ^>.  Vaim*'  si  6i>vi." 

There  was  a  shrill  laugh  of  txiiuuph  at  th« 
tears  that  stood  in  my  eyes. 

••  You  won't  make  it  'np  with  your  uncle  the 
milord ;  and  yon  are  savage  about  nothing. 
'Then  go  ;  you  are  not  my  only  chance." 

Even  with  these  words  did  my  heroine  leave 
me. 

I  packed  up  that  evening  and  took  my  ticket. 
But  two  things  retarded  m^ .  I  read  the  lettei 
from  mv  old  chimi,  Bertram,  and  one  of  its  par- 
agraphs impressed  me : 

"  So  you  are  staying  at  old  Le  Houx^  placo- 
I  put  up  there  more  than  a  year  ago.  Giood  sort 
of  people.  But  beware  of  the  girh  Pretty 
wench,  and  knew  it  in  my  time.  U^der  thej 
pretense  of  learning  English  she  mode-deeperarc 
efforts  to  entrap  me  into  matrimony.  Think  of 
the  hardihood  that  would  lay  siegeto  Tom  Btr? 
tram!  I  gave  her  some  books  as  souvenirs,  and 
departed  precipitately.  Girl  you  could  do  auv- 
thing  with,  except  marry." 

The  second  event  was  the  solemn  appearanca 
of  my  friend  the  Lieutenant,  whom  uie  waiter 
ushered  into  my  room  with  immense*pomp  and 
gravity,  The  Lieutenant  wished  to  do  things 
dromaticcdly,  it  was  evident.  After  a  mute 
obeisance  he  delivered  himself  of  one  of  thoso 
graceful  little  speeches  w^hich  are  among  the 
most  recognizable  articles  de  I'aris — about  the 
pleasures  of  society,  the  two  nations  oiniosc 
sisters,  the  charm  of  my  converssciCHa,  &c,  £ 
bowed,  and  he  became  more  solemn. 

"A  clond  has  come  over  our  aoqu&intacee. 
Monsieur  ;  I  am  sorry  for  it,  and  I  wish  to  ex- 

£lain.  Between  hommes  du  imonde  and  gaZajiU

I  smiled  in  spite  of  my  despondency.

Ro  saying,  U^t-foot  Iria  pass'd  away.

Her  frinsed  segis,  and  arooud  his  head 

The  glonona  goddess  wxeath'd  a  golden  dbnd. 

And  from  it  lighted  an  all-shining  flame. 

As  when  a  smoke  from  a  dtr  goes  to  heaven 

Far  off  from  oat  an  island  girt  by  foes. 

All  day  the  men  contend  In  grievous  war 

From  their  own  city,  and  with  set  of  sun 

Their  fires  flozne  thicklv,  and  aloft  the  glare 

FJieft  streaming,  if  perchance  the  neighbors  round 

May  see,  and  sail  to  help  them  in  the  war  i 

fio  from  his  head  the  splendor  went  to  heaven. 

From  wall  to  dyke  he  stent,  he  stood,  nor  Joln'd 

The  Ach«ans — honoring  his  wise  mother's  word —     • 

There  standing,  shouted  :  Pallas  far  away 

Call'd :  and  aooundless  panic  shook  the  foe. 

For  like  the  clear  voice  when  a  trunipet  shrills, 

Blown  by  the  fierce  beleaguerers  of  a  town, 

yo  rang  the  dear  voice  of  .(Ekid^s  : 

And  when  the  brazen  cry  of  .^^^d&s 

Was  heard  among  the  Trojans,  all  their  hearts 

"Were  troubled,  and  the  full-maned  horses  whlrl'd 

The  chariots  backward,  knowing  griefs  at  hand; 

And  sheer-astoanded  were  the  charioteers 

To  see  the  dread,  unweariable  fire 

That  always  o'er  the  gT*at  Peleion's  head 

Burned,  for  the  hright-eyed  goddess  made  it  bum.

— Alfred  Tonnyaon  in  the  NinetaenOi  Century. 

Disraeli  asd  Semitic  Isthtekcb.— It 
baa  been  shown  over  and  over  again  that  the 
rale  of  the  Turk  is  something  different  in  kind 
from  the  worst  rule  of  any  European  power — 
that  it  is-  not  government,  not  even  misgoyero- 
ment,  but  simply  organized  brigandage.  It  has 
been  shown  over  and  over  again  that.the  Turk 
has  never  done  anything  to  legalize  his  posses- 
sion of  the  lands  which  he  has  conquered,  that 
the  Ottomans  in  Europe  still  remain,  as  they 
were  500  years  back,  an  invading  horde,  an 
army  of  occupation.  This  .sober  and  strictly  ac- 
curate statement  of  an  undoubted  histoncal  fact 
is  so  inconvenient  to  the  vo^ries  of  the  evil 
cause  that  they  always  speak  of  it  as  a 
rhetorical  figure.  Equally  inconvertient  is 
any  statement  of  the  real  cause  why 
our  present  Government  shows  such  zeal 
on  behalf  of  the  oppressor,  the  real  cause  why 
we  seem  constantly  to  be  on  the  brink  of  war  to 
maintain  him  in  tfie  power  of  opprfession.  The 
plain  cause  is  a  cause  which  is  purely  sentimen- 
tal, the  Hebrew  sympathies  of  Lord  Beaconsfield. 
But  we  are  told  that  it  is  unbecoming,  that  it  is 
ungenerous,  to  taunt  any  man  with  his  descent, 
his  religion,  or  anvtbing  of  the  kind.  And  so  it 
is  when  it  is  a  mere  taunt.  But  to  point  out  an 
important  political  fact,  however  unpleasant  to 
this  or  that  man.  is  neither  unbecoming  nor 
ungenerous.  Xo  one  has  a  word  to  say  against 
a  .Jew,  whether  by  descent.or  by  religicai,  simply 
on  the  ground  of  his  descent  or  his  religion. 
There  are  Jews  whose  descent  and  whose  re- 
ligion do  not  hinder^them  from  being  very  good 
Englishmen,  and  against  such  Jews  no 
one  would  wish  to  speak  a  wonl.  But 
the  charge  against  Lord  '  Beaconsfield  is  that 
he  has  never  become  an  Englishman,  that 
he  has  never  become  a  European,  that  be  re- 
mains the  man  of  Asian  mvsteriea.  with  feelings 
and  policy  distinctly  Asiatic.  We  can  under- 
stand, we'  can  almost  respect  his  position  ;  but 
it  is  a  position  which  cannot  be  endured  in  the 
Minister  of  England  or  of  any  European  nation. 
Lonl  Beafconsfleld's  zeal  for  his  own  people  is 
the  best  thing  about  him,  the  one  thing  about 
which  be  is  really  in  earnest-  But  we  must  be 
e<iuall  V  in  earnest  the  other  way.  The  whole  talk 
of  I>ofd  Beaconsfield,  the  slandering  of  Servia, 
the  bragging  against  Russia,  is  the  talk  of  an 
Asiatic.  Throughout  the  East  the  Jew  and  the 
Turk  are  banded  together  against  the  European, 
»nd  Lord  Beaconsfield.  as  a  mantjf-  the  East, 
natnrallv  takes  the  Asiatic  side.  So  through- 
oat  Weatem  Europe,  wherever  the  Jew 
has  influence,  tho  cause  of  the  Turk  finds 
supporters.  The  fact  is  clear  to  every  one  who 
knows  anvthing  of  the  newspaper  press  either 
of  England  or  of  the  Continent.  As  there  are 
some  Turks  who  behaved  -with  humanity 
through  all  the  horrors,  and  who  have  been  pun- 
ished by  their  own  rulers  for  their  humanity,  so 
there  are  some  Jews  who,  to  their  great  honor, 
have  tSkken  another  line,  and  who  have  stood 
forth  as  boldly  for  the  cause  of  the  oppressed  as 
any  Christian'.  But  Jewish  influence,  as  a  rule, 
means  Turkish  influence,  just  as  Turkish  influ- 
ence means  the  influence,  not  of  the  good 
Turks,  but  of  the- bad.  Only  in  England  Jew- 
ish Influence  is  unhappily  founl  in  higher 
places  than  it  is  found  anywherfe  else.  This 
"Semitic  instinct  "—to  use  a  phrftae  whose  au- 
thor I  know  not.  but  which  the  Tcto-kiBh  party 
seem  to  think  it  clever  to  put  in  in^rted  com- 
mas— is  of  itself  quite  enough  to.-«ccount  for 
the  policy  of  a  Cabinet  led  by  Jiord  Beacons- 
field. The  two  things  the  statement  of  which 
eu  greatly  offends  the  Mohammedan  mind  in 
England  do  thus  exactly  fit  into  one  another  ; 
they  are  in  truth  related  to  one  another  as 
cau.se  and  effect.  We  are  called  upon  to  uphold 
an  invading  horde  in  the  possession  of  the  lands 
and  houses  of  other  nations  ;  and  the  reason 
why  we  are  called  on  to  uphold  them  is,  be- 
cause we  have  at  the  head  of  the  English  Cab- 
inet a  man  of  a  nation  which  has  always  found 
ita  interest  in  supporting  the  dominion  of  that 
iavadlsg  horde.  The  two  facta  are  plain 
enott^li ;  but  it  is  not  at  all  wonderful  that 
thoee  to  whom  they  am  inconvenient  should 
winee  a  little  at  the  statement  of  them.  But  it 
jD»y  be  that  the  Semitic  instinct  is  not  all ; 
there  mav  be  something  too  In  the  mere  love  of 
startling  people,  tho  mere  love  of  surprise  and 
mischief.  And  there  may  l>e  something  in 
what  has  been  irreverently  called  Lord  Beacons- 
field's  "  policy  of  old  clo'."  A  great  part  of  his 
political  career  haa  been  nothing  eLse  than 
stealing  the  clothes,  or,  to  drop  metaphor, 
adopting  tho  measures,  of  the  Liberal  Party. 
And  in  stealing  their  clothes,  he  sometimes 
shows  a  certain  tendency  to  steal  their  rags  also.

Pom  Pedro. — The  Emperor  of  Brazil  is 
the  only  hereditary  ruler  in  Sonth  America. 
The  anomaly  of  his  situation  b  niffleiently  ob- 
rious,  and  the  prospects  of  his  beir  are  fchadowy 
in  the  extreme.  The  republican  pystem  is  pop- 
ular with  the  unprincipled  and  ambitions  men 
who  tisually  occupy  themselves  with  the  affairs 
of  government  in  the  newly  settled  cotmtriea 
on  the  verge  of  the  civilized  world.  The  pos- 
sibility of  his  own  election  to  the  Presidency  of 
his  State  is  present  to  the  mind  of  many  a  com- 
petitor for  power  ;  and  all  are  ready  to  combine 
against  the  hereditary  principle  which  shuts 
the  door  impartially  against  all  aspirants.  The 
Empire  of  Brazil  is  held  together  but  loosely 
by  the  existing  constitution.  It  la  rather  a 
federation  of  separate  States  under  an  Em- 
peror, than  a  compact  and  homogeneous 
empire.  If  the  enriiire  were  to  be  transformed 
hereafter  into  a  republic,  it  would  be  split  up 
into  several  independent  State*.  Bahia,  Per- 
nambuoo.  Bio  Grande  do  Sul,  and  Bio  de 
Janeiro,  would  each  become  the  seat  of  a 
separate  government,  and  a  new  focus  of 
intrigue  and  rapadty.  The  reasons  why  a 
republican  rather  than  a  monarchical  form  of 
govenunent  would  be  adopted  are  not  far  to 
seek.  "  Those  who  speculate  on  'change,"  says 
Burke,  "  always  make  a  great  number  among 
people  of  rank  and  fortune,  as  well  aa  among 
Se  low  and  indigent. "  How  true  is  this  remark 
is  reference  to  the  aflUrs  of  the  Old  World,  and 
how  Inevitable  is  such  a  condition  of  men's 
minds  in  s  new  and  unsettled  community. 
The  peraonal  influence  of  the  present  ruler  Is 
the  chief  security  for  tho  maintenance  of  the 
bnoiiriid  style  and  the  manarehlcal  form  of  gov- 
er&WBt  <rf  BiBxU-  The  Emperor,  as  his  habits 
of  life  dtirlng  his  visits  to  Europe  testify,  is  en-

desa  tetsrest  in' schools,  and  frequently  opens 
new  edowtioaal  establishments  and  train-

date  of  our  visit  the  religious  question  -was 
uppermost  in  the  public  mind  in  Brazil.  Free- 
masonry flourishes  throughout  the  Empire,  and 
the  Pope  had  recently  promulgated  an.  edict 
that  all  Freemasons  were  to  be  deprived  of  the 
privileges  of  membership  of  tho  Church  of 
Rome.  The  cotirso  which  the  Emperor  would 
take  was  a  subject  of  deeply  interesting  specu- 
lation. It  was  the  opinion  of  many  that  his 
throne  would  be  rudely  shaken  shotild  he  lend 
his  support  to  the  papal  edict  of  exclusion,  di- 
rectea  against  a  body  of  men  who  are  strongly 
ifohued  with  liberal,  not  to  say  republican, 
ideas. — T.  Bratsey — The  Nineteenth  Century. 


Ttbolbse  Dancixo. — ^Mr.  Baillie  Groh- 
man  gives  tis  an  account  of  a  wedding  which  he 
attended  in  Brandenburg,  a  little  Alpine  hamlet 
in  the  valley  of  the  same  name.  He  had  to  tra- 
verse a  narrow  bridle-path,  which  was  covered 
with  snow  to  the  depth  of  three  and  in  some 
places  four  or  five  feet ;  it  was  a  seven  hours' 
battle  with  the  snow  before  he  reached  the  inn 
of  the  village,  in  which  the  weddings  are  always 
held.  He  was  moved  to  overcome  these  diffi- 
culties, because  he  had  promised  to  honor  the 
wedding  of  a  charming  young  peasant  girl  with 
a  special  prot4g6  of  his  own.  "  Countless  out- 
stretched hands,"  he  says,  *'  brawny  and  mus- 
cular, amaU  and  plump,  clean  and  dirty,  were 
immediately  stretched  otit  to  greet  me."  It  was 
Sunday,  and  the  eve  of  the  wedding-day  ;  the 
bar-room,  or  gaststube,  was  filled  with  yo-ung  and 
old,  fair  and  ugly  Brandenbiirgers.  It  is  notusu- 
ally  the  custom  to  dance  on  the  eve  of  the  wed- 
ding day,  but,  at  his  special  request,  his  old 
patron,  the  '"  Herr  Vicar,"  very  soon  put  the 
musicians  at  work.  In  the  dancing-room  he  was 
immediately  surrounded  by  a  group  of  young 
fellows  offering  him,  as  a  mark  of  courtesy, 
their  bright-eyed  lasses.  Finding  a  choice  easy, 
he  -was  soon  dancing  the  pas  eeut — that  is,  one 
couple  dances  round  the  room,  while  the  others 
line  the  walls  and  tall  in  at  its  termination.  In 
Brandenburg  an^in  some  other  valleys,  the 
male  dancter  encircles  the  waist  of  his  part- 
ner with  ^-boTO  arms,  while  she  embraces 
him  with  both  arms  round  the  neck.  For 
the  first  few  minutes  of  eveiy  dance  the 
motion  of  the  whole  group  is  slow,  and 
the  floor  trembles  beneath  the  iron-shod  shoes 
of  these  immenso  fellows.  Suddenly  tho  music 
changes,  and  with  it  the  entire  aspect  of  tho 
room.  The  man.  letting  go  his  partner,  begins 
a  series  of  gymnastic  capers  and  jumps ;  their 
heavy  frames  display  an  unlooked-for  agility. 
One  of  the  commonest  movements  is  to  throw 
one's  self  on  one's  knees,  fold  both  arms  over 
the  chest,  and  bend  backward  until  the  back  of 
the  head  touches  the  floor,  and  gives  a  few 
sounding  raps  on  the  har<l  boards  ;  then,  with 
one  jerk,  the  man  regains  his  erect  position 
without  touching  tho  floor  with  his  hands.  In 
another  movement  the  man  kneels  down,  and 
witli  his  bare  knees  beats  a  sounding  rat-ta- 
ta-tat  on  the  floor.  To  jump  high  up  in 
the  air  and  come  down  upon  the  knees  with 
full  force,  is  very  common.  All  tbeso  capers 
are  accompanied  with  loud,  shrill  whistling  and 
peculiar  smacking  sound.s  of  the  lips  and  tongue, 
in  imitation  of  the  sounds  made  by  the  black 
cock  and  capercailzie.  The  sounding  slaps  on 
the  mtiscular  thighs  and  on  the  irou-shod  soles 
of  the  heavy  shoes  by  their  great,  homy  hands, 
the  crowing,  loud  shouts,  snatches  of  song,  in- 
termingled with  shrill  whistling  and  furious 
stamping  of  the  feet  with  the  greatest  possible 
force' upon  the  floor,  produce  a  prodigious  din. 
In  Brandenburg  and  one  or  two  other  Tyrolese 
valleys  which  have  a  particularly  muscular  fair 
sex,  the  girl,  at  the  conclusion  of  her  part- 
ner's feats,  catches  him  by  his  braces,  and. 
aided  by  a  corresponding  jerky  action  of 
the  man,  hoists  him  up  bodily.  The  youth, 
balancing  himself  with  both  hands  on 
her  shoulders,  treads  the  ceiling  of  the  low 
room  to  the  music,  while  she  continues  her 
dance  round  the  floor.  The  men  are  strapping 
fellows,  and  it  must  he  muscular  young  women 
who  can  perform  this  feat.  There  are  some- 
times four  or  five  men  hoisted  »t  a  time,  and 
the  singular  spectacle  adds  much  Ut  tho  strikinff 
appearance  of  the  ball-room.  The  girls  are  fond 
of  smoking,  and  are  seen  treading  tlio  places  of 
the  dance  with  a  cigar  or  pipe  between  their 
lips.  The  dances  are  short,  and  follow  each  oili- 
er closely.  "The  intervals  between  them  are  filled 
bv  the  ScXnaderhUpfd,  a  short  song  or  Series  of 
rhymes,  sung  by  a  man,  expressive  of  derision 
or  defiance  toward  some  rival.  It  is  sung  by 
one  of  the  dancers  standing  in  front  of  the 
slightly  raised  platform  upon  which  the  mu- 
sicians sit ;  his  sweetheart  staurts  by 
his  side  with  downcast  eyis  and  profuse 
blushes  on  heticheeks.  The'objectof  this  affront 
will  compose  hi-s  rhymed  reply  with  groat  rapid- 
ity. In  this  way  rival  bards  will  continue  to 
throw  contempt  on  one  another  for  a  considera- 
ble length  of  time.  The  girl,  if  there  should  I>» 
no  refrain  to  her  lover's  song,  has  to  stand  in 
silence  by  his  side.  Love  is  the  subject  of  most 
of  these  songs.  A  girl  changing  lovers,  or  re- 
f  ndng  the  hand  of  an  ardent  wooer,  forms  a  f  re^ 
quent  and  welcome  subject  for  SchnaderhUpM. 
The  songs  are  generally  of  very  dubious  moral- 
ity. It  is  not  everv  young  fello-.v,  ho-A-ever,  who 
has  skill  enough  to  impronse  one  of  these  cora- 
poaition.s.  A  good  many  have  to  be  satisfied 
with  singing  one  of  the  u'oial  national  lays,  and 
in  this  the  sweetheart  joins.— ^/y>/clo/i's,/oMrHaI. 


Mrs.  Siddons. — It  wag  Mrs.  Siddons  who 
first  commenced  that  pernicious  star  system 
which  has  done  as  much  as  anything  to  sap  the 
very  foundations  of  the  theatrical  profession, 
and  as  soon  as  the  London  season  was  over  she  . 
scoured  the  province-s  for  fame — and  money. 
At  Dublin  she  was  again  opposed  by  Jtrs.  Craw- 
ford, who,  as  the  wife  of  the  supreme  favorite 
Barry,  had  been  immensely  popnlar  :  and  the 
Dublinites  rallied  around  their  old  love,  prefer- 
ring her  to  the  younger  actress.  Mrs.  Siddons' 
engagement  was  not  a  success,  she  hated  the 
place  and  tho  people,  and  her  opinions  oozing 
out  were  quite  sufficient  to  render  her  unpopu- 
lar. The  press  wrote  her  down  and  ridiculed 
the  emotion  her  performances  excited.  One  of 
these  skits  is  worth  transcribing :  "On  Satur- 
day Mrs.  Siddons,  about  whom  all  the  world 
has  been  talking,  expo.sM  her  beautiful, 
adamantine,  soft,  and  comely  person,  for  the 
first  time,  in  the  Theatre  Royal,  Smock- 
alley.  "The  house  was  crowded  with 
hundreds  more  than  it  could  hold,  with  thou- 
sands of  admiring  .spectators  that  went  away 
without  a  sight.  »  •  *  She  was  nature  itself 
— she  was  "the  most  exquisite  work  of  art. 
•  •  *  Several  fainted,  even  before  the  cur- 
tain drew  up.  *  "  •  The  fiddlers  in  the 
orchestra  blubbered  like  hungry  children  cry- 
ing for  their  bread  and  butter ;  and  when  the 
beU  rang  for  music  between  the  acts  the  tears 
ran  from  the  bassoon  player's  eyes  in  such 
showers  that  they  choked  the  finger-stops,  and, 
making  a  spout  of  the  instrument,  poured  in 
saeh  a  torrent  upon  the  first  fiddler's  book  that, 
not  seeing  the  overture  was  in  two  sharps,  the 
leader  of  the  baud  actually  played  it  m  two 
flats;  btxtthe  sobs  and  sighs  of  the  groaning 
audience  Emd  the  noise  of  the  corks  drawn 
from  tho  smelling-bottles  prevented  the 
mistake  being  discovered.  *  *  •  TliQ

deep,  and  the  people  who  were  obliged  to  stand 
upon  the  benches  were  in  that  portion  up  to 
their  ankles  in  tears.  An  act  of  Parliament  to 
prevent  her  playing  will  certainly  pass,  for  she 
has  infected  the  volunteers,  and  they  sit  readin"

the  time.  May  the  curses  of  an  insultod  nation 
pursue  the  gentlemen  of  the  college,  the  gen- 
tlemen of  the  Bar,  and  the  Peers  and  Peeresses 
that  hissed  her  on  the  second  night.  True  it  is 
that  Mr.  Garrick  never  could  make  anything 
of  her,  and  pronounced  her  below  medioc- 
rity ;  true  it  is  the  London  audience  did  not  like 
her.  But  what  of  that !"  The  Scotch  capital 
more  than  recompensed  her  for  the  slights  of 
the  Irish.  "Vet  on  her  first  night  in  Ediuburgh, 
the  house,  although  crammed,  was  freezing ; 
scene  aftor  scene  the  audience  sat  like  mutes, 
and  after  one  of  her  greatest  efforts  a  single 
voice  exclaimed  from  the  pit  in  a  tone  of  ju- 
dicial calmness,  "  That's  nae  sae  bad  I"  But  on 
her  second  visit  the  Scotoh  went  as  mad  as  the 
Londoners.  In  One  day  2,557  people  applied 
for  the  650  seats  at  the  dispo.sal  ot  the  manage- 
ment ;  the  doors  were  besieged  at  noon,  and 
footmen  took  their  stand  at  the  box  entrance  as 
soon  as  the  play  was  over,  to  secure  their  mas- 
ters' places  for  the  following  night.  Even  the 
Church  Synod  arranged  its  meetings  according 
to  her  performances. — Temple  Bar. 

ThEOPHILB    GaUTIER    as     a    PAINTER; — 

One  day  Theophile  Qantier  determined  to 
take  to  his  old  bnsi:i«ss.  Perhaps  the  author 
had  an  indigestion  brought  on  by  having  fur- 
nished too  much  copy  1  He  had  conceived  some 
kind  of  an  idea  about  an  allegorical  figure,  the 
size  of  life,  which  'was  to  be  called  "  La  H^n- 
eoUe."  AH  this  happened  in  1867.  Qantier 
set  his  heart  on  having  the  pictore  received  in 
the  soJon  of  that  year.  "  We -will  see  if  the  jtiry 
wont  aooept  it  1"  he  cried.  When  I  ventored  to 
suggest  to  Qautinr  that  it  was  highly  probable 
that  he  himself  irotild  be  a  member 
of  th«    iatj,    be  Taclied :      "  Oil !    U  tbM 


is  all  I-  shall  forward  my  re.<dgnation, 
at  once,  and  will  sign  my  work  with  a  false 
name.  Quick,  some  of  you,  bring  me  a  canvas 
and  colors."  At  first  Gautier  wont  to  work  with 
a  will.  A  sketch  was  made,  his  yotingest 
danghtor  serving  as  a  model.  But  the  copy — 
the  copy  in  oil !  That  was  an  effort  which  Set 
at  naught  all  the  aspirations  of  the  master, 
i^ow  Theophile  Gautier  was  not  a  man  to  pass 
from  his  study  to  his  atelier,  or  from  atelier  to 
study,  without  mental  shock.  Somewhat  prone 
to  indecision,  Gautier  was  quickly  disenchanted. 
There  were  certain  materialistic  obstacles 
which  ho  could  not  overcome.  The 
pidnting  was  never  accomplished.  The 
study  of  '"La  Melancolie"  is  now  in  my 
possession,  and  I  would  not  exchange  it  for  a 
Rembrandt.  I  must,  however,  decUre  that  it 
hardly  justifies  Gautier's  regret  in  regard  to 
his  having  t^Jjandorel  his  early  love.  On  his 
painter's  palet  there  is  not  to  be  found  a 
thousandth  part  of  the  glowing  colors  his  ink- 
stabd  produced.  The  strangest  thing  about  this 
art-work  was  that  this  limner  of  words,  who 
drew  such  glorious  tints,  sucli  halos  of  light 
from  a  .simple  phrase,  was  entirely  dnll,  even 
flat,  in  painting.  His  dra-wing,  it  is  true,  had 
good  qualities,  though  he  was  somewhat  cold.  To 
conclude,  a  whole  picture  of  Theophile  Gautier's 
was  not  worth  a  single  page  of  his  writing. — 
Emile  Bergerct,  in  JyArt. 


Etiquette. — If  fine  mai.  ■,  pt"  natural- 
ly associated  with  rank,  the  supposition  would 
be  that  the  higher  tho  rank  the  finer  the  man- 
ners. It  would  then  follow  that  the  guest  of 
honor,  who  was  also  the  stranger,  would  take 
precedence  of  all  others.  It  is  therefore  be- 
wildering to  learn  that  when  the  Prince  of 
Wales  recently  gave  a  dinner  to  Gen.  Grant 
the  distinguished  visitor  brought  up  the  rear  of 
the  procession  to  the  dining-room.  We  are  but 
boors  in  etiquette  ;  yet  if  the  Prince  of  Wales 
had  been  the  guest  of  honor  of  tho  President  of 
the  United  States  he  would  not  have  been  per- 
mitted to  close  the  march  to  dinner ;  and  he 
would  have  preceded,  not  as  Prince,  but 
as  guest;  for  it  would  be  equally 
true  of  untitled  Mr.  Bright  or  Mr. 
Gladstone  as  of  a  Prince.  Courtesy  is  a 
poor  thing  if  it  cannot  dispen.se,  upon  due  occa- 
sion, with  the  rigidity  of  ceremonial  forms.  It 
is  rumored  that  the  American  Minister  in  Eng- 
land was  long  absorbed  in  the  task  of  arranging 
Gen.  Grant's  invitations,  so  that  he  should  not 
be  apparently  insultod  by  being  treated  at  en- 
tertainments given  in  his  honor  with  loss  con- 
sideration than  any  other  guest.  Tills  is  hanlly 
credible  to  an  unsophisticated  American,  be- 
cause ho  cannot  comprehend  cither  that  an 
English  gentleman  should  offer  or  an  Ameri- 
can gentleman  accept  such  a  situation.  Tho 
rutes  of  really  good  society,  whether  titled  or 
untitled,  are  everywhere  the  same  in  regard  to 
certain  essential  points,  and  it  is  a  pity  if  they 
arc  violated  in  the  hou.so  of  a  Prince.  To  invite 
an  imtitled  man  into  titled  company,  upon 
an  occasion  of  pure  ceremony. .  where 
titles  determine  precedence,  is  to  incite 
hiin^  to  go  beWivl.  If  a  Prince  gives 
a  dinner  in  honor  of  an  untitled  guest, 
he  is  bound  to  honor  him  chieflj-,  and  he  invites 
the  company  merely  to  help  him  render  the 
honor.  If,  therefore,  it  be  true  that  the  Prince 
of  Wales  gave  a  dinner  specially  to  Gen.  Grant, 
and  permitted  the  greater  part  of  the  company 
to  precede  him  to  the  table.  Gen.  Grant  shoulil 
quietly  have  left  the  house,  aud  all  the  more  if, 
II.S  is  constantly  said,  etiquette  and  forms  are 
real  things  to  European  society.  For  if  that  bo 
so,  the  significance  of  the  situation  was  that  an 
Americin  without  a  title,  however  illustrious, 
however  honored  at  home,  and  the  especial 
guest  of  the  occasion,  is  not  to  be  recognized  as 
the  equal  of  titled  people.  Probably,  if  the 
story  De  true,  Gen.  Grant  was  not  troubled ; 
but  if  English  gentlemen  are  requireil  by  eti- 
quette to  acquiesce  in  so  flagrant  a  discourtesy 
they  are  greatly  to  be  pitied. — n<irp>-r's  Maoazint. 

Becket's  Db-^-wbrs  and  Miracles.— Tho 
^luarrel  between  Becket  and  the  King  of  Eng- 
land became  tho  topic  of  the  hour  throughout 
Europe.  AVhich  was  right  and  which  was 
wrong,  what  thi»  Pope  would  do  or  ought  to  do, 
and  whether  England  "would  join  Germany  in 
the  schis.-n — these  questions  were  the  theme  of 
perpetual  discuiwions  in  council  and  conclave, 
were  debated  in  universities,  and  were  fought 
over  at  convent  and  ca.stle  dinner-tables.  Opin- 
ions were  so  divided  that,  in  a  cause  which 
concerned  Heaven  so  nearly,  people  were  look- 
ing for  Heaven  to  give  some  sign. 
.\s  facts  were  wanting,  legend  took  the  place 
of  them,  and  stories  began  to  spread, 
either  at  tho  time  or  immediately  after, 
of  direct  and  picturesque  manifestations  of 
grace  which  had  been  vouchsafed  in  Becket's 
favor.  It  was  said  that  when  dining  with  Pope 
Alexander  he  had .  twice  unconscionsly  turned 
water  into  wine.  At  Pontigny  he  had  been  gnv- 
ciouslv  visited  by  our  Lady  herself.  He  bad 
left  fingland  ill  pro\-ided  with  clothes.  His 
wardrobe  wa-s  in  disorder :  his  drawers  es- 
pecially, besides  bfing  <lirty.  were  in  holes.  He 
w,is  specially  delicate  in  such  matters,  and  was 
too  modest  to  confess  his  difficulties.  Ha 
stayed  at  home  one  day  alone  to  do  the  repairs 
himself.  He  was  pri'cking  his  fingers  and 
succeeding  indifferently,  when  <tur  Lady — 
who,  as  the  biographers  tell  u.s,  had  been 
taught  to  sew  when  she  was  at  Naz.ireth— 
came  in,  .sat  do*n.  took  the  drawers  out  of 
the  Archbishop's  hand,  mended  them  excellent- 
ly, and  went  as  she  bad  come.  Tho  Archbishop 
had  not  recognized  his  visitor.  Soon  after  a 
singular  case  of  Church  discipline  was  referred 
to  bis  decision.  A  young  Frenchman,  specially 
devoted  to  the  Virgin  Mary,  had  built  a  chapel 
in  her  honor  not  far  from  Pontignv,  had 
placed  her  image  over  the  altar,  and  had  ob- 
tained ordination  him-self  that  he  might  make 
his  daily  offerings  there.  But  he  neither  would 
nor  could  repeat  any  mass  btit  the  mass  of  the 
Virgin.  The  authorities  reprimanded  him,  but 
to  no  purpose.  Our  Lady  filled  his  soul,  and 
left  no  room  for  any  other  object.  The  irregu- 
larity was  flagrant — the  devotion  was  commend- 
able. Becket  was  consulted  as  to  what  should 
be  done,  and  Becket  .sent  for  the  offender  and 
gently  put  before  him  that  he  was  m.<iking  a 
scandal  which  must  positively  cease.  The  youth 
riLshed  away  in  despair,  and  flung  himself  be- 
fore our  Lady's  image,  declaring  that  his  love 
was  for  her  and  for  her  alone.  She  must  save 
him  from  interference,  or  he  would  pull  the 
chapel  down,  do  other  wild  and  desperate  things. 
The  eyes  of  the  imag*  began  to  smile,  the  neck 
bent,  the  lips  opened.  "  Have  no  fear,  r/iriMim^," 
it  said,  "  go  to  the  Archbishop.  Entreat  again 
to  be  allowed  to  continue  your  devotions  to  me. 
If  he  refuses,  ask  him  if  he  remembers  who 
mended  his  drawers."  We  may  guess  how  the 
story  ended. — J.  A.  Froiide  in  the  Nineteenth 
Century. 

Paskie-witsch's  Campaioks. — The  cam- 
paigns of  Prince  Paskiewitsch,  first  against 
the  Persians,  and  sub.sequently  against  the 
Turks  in  182.S  and  1820,  were  certainly  the 
most  brilliant  achievements  performed  in  this 
century  by  a  Russian  Army  ;  and  they  differ 
from  all  other  Russian  milltory  operations  in  this 
respect — that  instead  of  being  accomplished  by 
large  masses  of  troops,  and  at  a  great  sacrifice 
of  lite,  they  were  performed  by  very  small 
columns  admirably  handled.  Paskiewitsch 
never  had  more  than  25,000  men  under  his 
orders  in  Asia  or  more  than  12,000  in  the 
field.  Yet  he  took  Kars  (then  very  imperfectly 
fortified)  by  surprise  and  assault  in  four  days ; 
be  took  Akhiska,  after  a  splendid  defense ;  he 
reduced  Bayazid,  and  captured- 313  guns,  193 
standards,  and  8,000  prisoners.  The  whole  Rus- 
sian force  engaged  in  that  campaign  was  18,000 
men,  theirloss3.200,  as  much  by  plague  aud  bad 
climate  as  the  sword.  Yet  even  to  obtain  sup- 
plies for  this  small  force  was  a  work  of  great 
difficulty,  for  the  theatre  of  war  afforded  no 
resources  whatever.  In  the  Winter  which  pre- 
ceded the  campaign  of  1829  Paskiewitsch 
formed  much  niore  extended  designs,  and  it  is 
possible  that  his  plan  of  operations  against  Tur- 
key is  that  which  the  Russians  are  now  execut- 
ing. They  succeeded  in  forcing  the  passes  of 
the  Suganlook,  which  era  in  fact  concentric 
Alpine  ranges,  scarcely  less  difficult  of  passage 
than  the  Swiss  passes,  and  much  less  peopled  or 
known ;  and  thus  they  reached  Erzeroum, 
which  is  incapable  of -defense  against  a  nume- 
rous army.  A  commander  in  possession  of 
the  plateau  of  Erzeroum  may  turn  his 
forces  at  pleasure  against  any  part  of 
Asia.  Paskiewitsch  might,  if  he  hid  possessed 
sufficient  force  in  1829,  have  descende-l  upon 
Trebizond  by  way  of  Baivirt,  which  is  82  miles 
from  the  former  city ;  but  here  he  was  checked 
by  the  extreme  difficulty  of  creasing  the  Giaonr 
X>aug  and  by  the  siendemess  af  his  own  re- 
sources. The  warlike  tribes  of  Adsobara  and 
Lazl  at  that  time  signally  raptilsed  tvery  at- 
tempt of  the  Russians  to  invade  their  country; 
the  Christian  invaders  were  repulsed,  and  at  the 
first  retrograde  movement  of  the  Russians  the 
whole  Mohammedan  population  rose.  Peace 
was  shortly  afterward  concluded,  «.nd  the  acqui- 
sitions of  Russia  were  confined  to  the  Psahalik

could  barely  maintain  his  position  in  Asia  .with

Secret  Societies  ik  Rcssia.— In  April, 
1875,  a  peasant,  who  was  at  the  same  time  a 
factory-worker,  informed  the  Police  that  certain 
persons  were  distributing  revolutionary  pam- 
phlets among  the  people  of  the  factory  where  he 
was  employed,  and  as  a  proof  of  what  he  said 
he  produced  some  pamphlets  which  he  had  him- 
self received.  This  led  to  an  investigation,  by 
which  it  was  found  that  a  number  of  young 
men  and  women,  evidently  belonging  to  the 
educated  classes,  were  employed  as  common 
laborers  in  several  factories,  and  were  dissemi- 
nating revolutionary  ideas  by  means  of  pam- 
phlets and  conversation.  Arrests  followed,  and 
it  was  soon  discovered  that  these  agitators  be- 
longed to  a  large  secret  association,  which  had 
its  centre  in  Moscow  and  local  branches  in 
Ivanovo,  Tula,  and  Kief.  In  Ivanovo,  for  in- 
.stance — a  manufacturing  town  about  100  miles 
to  the  north-east  of  Moscow — the  Police  found  a 
room  fnhabited  by  three  young  men  and  four 
yoimg  women,  all  of  whom,  though  belonging  to 
the  educated  cla.s.seR,  had  the  appearance  of  or- 
dinary factory-workers,  prepared  their  own  food, 
did  with  their  own  hands  all  the  domestic  work, 
and  sought  to  avoid  everything  that  could  dis- 
tinguish them  from  the  laboring  population.  In 
the  room  were  found  '24i>  copies  of  revolutionaiy 
pamphlets,  a  considerable  sum  of  money,  a  large 
amount  of  correspondence  in  cipher,  and  several 
forged  passports.  How  many  members  the  so- 
ciety contained  it  is  impossible  to  say,  for  some 
eluded  the  vi^lance  of  the  Police ;  bnt  many  were 
arrested,  and  ultimately  47  were  condemned. 
Of  these,  1 1  were  nobles,  seven  were  sons  of 
village  prie.sts.  and  the  remainder  be- 
longed to  the  lower  classes — that  is  to 
say,  the  small  officials,  burghers,  and 
peasants.  The  average  age  of  the  prisoners 
was  rather  less  than  '24 — the  oldest  being  36, 
and  the  youngest  under  17  !  Only  five  were 
more  than  25  years  of  age,  and  none  of  these 
five  were  ringleaders.  The  female  element  was 
represented  bv  no  less  than  15  young  persons, 
whose  average  age  was  under  22.  Two  or  three 
of  these,  to  judge  by  their  photographs,  were  of 
decidedly  prepossessing  appearance,  and  appar- 
ently little  fitted  for  taking  an  active  part  in 
wholesale  massacres,  such  as  the  society  talked 
about  organizing.  It  would  be  interesting  to  in- 
quire how  it  has  come  about  that  there 
are  in  Russia  young  ladies  of  prepo.sses- 
sing  appearance,  respectable  family,  and 
considerable  education  who  are  ready 
to  enter  upon  wild  sanguinary  enterprises 
which  inevitably  lead  in  the  long  run  to  the 
Hofise  of  Correction  or  the  mines  of  Siberia  :  hut 
I  mu.st  postpone  this  investigation  to  a  more 
convenient  season.  For  the  present  suffice  it  to 
say  that  there  are  such  young  ladles  in  Russia, 
and  that  several  of  them  were  condemned  as 
founders  and  active  members  of  the  society  in 
question.  The  character  and  aims  of  the  society 
are  clearly  depicted  in  the  documentary  and  oral 
evidence  produced  at  the  trial.  Acc'ording  to 
the  fundament.ll  principles,  there  should  exist 
among  the  members  abs<)lute  equalitv,  complete 
mutual  re.sponsibillty,  and  f;^  confidence  and 
openness  with  regard  to  the  affairs  of  the  organ- 
ization. .\niong  the  conditions  of  admission 
we  find  that  the  candidate  should  be  willing  to 
devote  himself  entirely  to  revolutionary  activity ; 
that  he  should  be  ready  to  cut  all  ties,  whether 
of  love  or  friendship,  for  the  good  cause  :  that 
he  should  po.ssess  great  powers  of  self-sacrifice 
and  the  capacity  for  keeping  secrets  ;  and  that 
he  should  consent  to  l>ecorae.  when  necessary, 
a  common  laborer  in  a  factory.  The  desire  to 
preserve  ab.wlnte  equality  is  well  illustrated 
by  the  regulations  regarding  the  ad- 
ministration;  the  oflice-bearers  are  not  to  be 
chosen  by  election,  but  all  members  are  to  bo 
offlcc-bcai'ers  in  tnrii.  and  to  Ix?  changed  every 
month.  The  ultimate  aim  of  the  society  seems 
to  have  been  to  destroy  the  existing  sOcial  order 
and  to  replace  it  by  one  in  which  there  should 
bo  no  private  property  and  no  distinction  of 
class  or  wealth — or,  as  it  is  put  in  one  place,  **  to 
found  on  the  ruins  of  .social  organization  which 
at  pres<-nt  exists  the  empire  of  tho  working 
classics."  The  means  by  which  the  necessary 
revolution  is  to  bo  effected  are  carefully  enu- 
merated in  one  of  the  documents  seized  by  the 
authorities.  Each  member,  it  is  there  explained, 
ha.s  the  greatest  liberty  as  to  the  means,  but  ho 
is  to  leave  nothing  undone  to  forward  the  cause 
of  the  revolution.  For  the  giiidauce  of  the  in- 
exi>erienced  the  following  means  are  recom- 
mended :  Simple  conversation,  dissemination  of 
pamphlets,  tho  exciting  of  discontent,  the 
formation  of  organized  groups,  the  f'>un- 
datiou  of  fun(is  and  libraries.  These, 
taken  together,  constitute,  in  the  terminology 
of  rev(»lntionary  .science.  "  propaganda."  Be- 
sides it.  there  should  be  "ogitation."  The  dit- 
fi-rence  Tvetwecn  propagandii  and  agitation.  w(i 
are  informed,  consists  in  this,  that  the  former 
aims  at  enlightening  thi*  masses  regarding  the 
true  nature  of  the  revolutionary  cau."e.  while 
tho  latter  aims  at  exiiting  an  individual  or 
group  to  (lins't  rovoluTionary  ai'tivity.  In  time 
of  pe.ico  "  purr  axitntion  "  Is  to  be  carried  on  bv 
means  of  orff-.tni/.tMl  bands,  the  purpose  of  which 
is  to  frighten  the  (iovemnient  and  the  privi- 
leged classes ;  to  draw  away  the  attention  of  the 
(Jovemment  fn»m  other  forms  of  revolu- 
tionary activitv ;  to  rai.se  the  spirit  of  th,; 
people,  and  tfiereby  render  it  more  fit  to 
accept  the  revolutionary  ideas  :  to  obtain  pecu- 
niary meaus  for  the  a*^tivlty  of  the  society,  and 
to  liberate  those  who  have  been  imprisoned. 
The  tendency  of  the  bands  should  always  be 
"  purely  sociali3tic<i-revoluti(mary  " — whatever 
that  may  mean.  In  time  of  revolution,  the 
mombers  should  give  to  ail  movement-s  every 
assistance  in  their  p«>wer.  and  impress  upon  them 
"  a  socialistico-revolutionary  character."  The 
central  administration  and  the  local  branches 
should  form  connections  with  publishers,  and 
take  steps  to  secure  a  regular  supply  of  prohib- 
ited books  from  abroad.  Such  are  a  few  char 
acteri-stic  extracts  from  a  document  that  might 
fairly  be  called  a  treatise  on  revolutionology. —

Lsterxal  Machines.— The  French  have 

had  much  to  do  with  (so-called)  infernal  ma- 
chines, which,  under  various  forms,  have  been 
employed  to  assa.s8inate  successive  sovereigns, 
but  happily  failed  in  the  wicked  attempt, 
though  not  without  inflicting  injuries  on  on- 
lookers. In  1804,  when  Napoleon  thought  that 
he  had  England  pretty  nearly  in  his  grasp,  a 
catamaran  expedition  was  fitted  out  by  the 
English  to  act  against  him.  This  catomaran 
was  an  oblong  water-proof  box  lined  with  lead  ; 
it  contained  fifteen  hundred  pounds  of  gunpow- 
der, various  inflammable  substances,  clockwork 
to  prodnce  an  explosion  at  a  given  moment, 
and  ballast  to  steady  it.  Being  towed  toward 
an  enemy's  ship  and  left  for  the  tide  to  float  it 
onward,  it  would  cling  to  the  ship  by  means  of 
gmppling-irons  buoyed  up  with  cork  ;  and  in  a 
given  number  of  miimtes  the  clockwork,  acting 
on  a  trigger,  woulil  explode  the  combustibles. 
Such  at  least  was  the  theory ;  bnt  Xhn  chances 
of  failure  were  found  to  be  too  numerous  and  va- 
ried in  practice.  Some  years  after  this,  Ool.  Colt, 
the  inventor  of  the  celebrated  revolver,  devoted 
a  great  deal  of  time  to  this  subject  of  infernal 
machines,  making  many  combinations  which 
were  useful  as  hints  to  later  contrivers.  In 
1809,  when  Lord  Cochrane  was  engaged  against 
the  French  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay,  he  employed  a 
destroyer  most  formidable  in  character.  He 
fiUeda'number  of  empty  pimcheons  ^vith  about 
fifty  thoiisand  pounds  of  powder  :  on  the  tops 
of  these  puncheons  were  placed  three  hundred 
and  fifty  explosive  shells,  with  fuses,  and  up- 
ward of  two  thousand  hand  grenades  among 
and  between  them.  The  whole  were  bound 
and  jammed  together  with  cables,  wedges,  and 
sand,  on  board  a  small  ve8.sel  called  the  Devasta- 
tor. A  fifteen  minute  time-fuse  being  ignited, 
the  crew  (Cochrane  himself,  a  Lieutenant,  and 
four  seaman)  rowed  away  quickly  in  a  boat. 
The  infernal  monster  did  not  produce  quite  the 
kind  of  mischief  intended  ;  the  explosion  was 
one  of  the  most  tremendous  ever  beard ;  but  the 
enemy's  ships  were  rather  too  far  away  to  be 
materially  <&imaged,  while  Cochrane  lost  some 
of  his  gallant  little  crew  by  over-fatigue  and 
drowning  by  tumultuous  waves. — Chambers's

France  ■with  an  AlPEngland  Eleven.  The 
Duke  of  Dorset  was  Ambassador  to  France  In 
1784,  and  wrote  to  Yalden,  Captoln  of  the 
County  Eleven  at  Cherteey,  to  select  an  eleven 
to  go  over  and  show  a  specimen  of  the  game  at 
Paris.  The  eleven  were  got  together,  and  had 
actually  traveled  as  far  as  Dover,  with  the  Earl 
of  Tankerville  at  their  head,  when  they  unfor- 
tunately met  the  Duke  of  Dorset  coming  home. 
He  was  fiying  before  the  first  outbreak"  of 
the  French  Revolution.  About  60  years  passed 
away,  when  Mr.  Pickering— the  gentleman 
famed  as  the  finest  field  at  cover  ever  seen,  for 
he  could  return  a  ball  indifferently  as  he  picked 
it  up  right  or  left — ^being  in  the  United  States, 
arranged  a  series  of  matohes  with  an  All-Eng- 
land Eleven.  This  eleven  ■was  a  very  powerful 
one.  It  comprised  Hayward,  Carpenter.  George 
Parr.  Diver,  E.  H.  Stephenson.  Lockyer. 
CalTyn,  Grundy,  Wisden,  Julius  CajRar,  and 
John  Lillywhito  Every  man  could  bat  well 
and  field  well ;  and  though  as  bowlers  there 
were  Jackson,  Wisden,  Hayward,  CaSyn,  and 
Grundy,  worthy  of  any  eleven,  still  Parr's  slow 
bowling  proved  sometimes  more  effective  still, 
because,  as  we  have  often  seen,  slows  when  new 
are  not  as  e«.sy  aa  they  seem.  Soon  after, 
Messrs.  Spiers  &  Pond  arranged  with 
the  then  Secretary  of  the  Surrey  Club  to 
choose  an  eleven  for  a  series  of  matehes  in 
Australia,  and  an  eleven  not  so  worthy  of  Eng- 
land went  out,  with  Griffith,  T.  Heame,  Roger 
Iddison,  Lawrence;  E.  Stephenson,  Bennett,  and 
Mortlock.  A  Sheriff's  officer  appeared  at  the 
last  moment  on  board  at  Gravesend,  and  it  was 
with  difficulty  that  Mr.  Miller,  who  happened 
to  be  present,  could  collect  cash,  as  checks 
were  refused,  to  .settle  the  affair.  The  man  in 
danger  returned  with  about  £400.  in  pocket 
from  the  trip,  a  lucky  hit  for  a  man  so  impe- 
cunious to  ha\'e  missed.  This  speculation  was 
followed  in  1803  by  an  eleven  chosen  by  George 
Parr,  at  that  time  Captain  of  the  Nottingham 
eleven,  with  Mr.  E.  M.  Grace,  Hayward,  Car- 
penter, Tarrant,  Parr,  Jackson,  R.  C.  Tinley, 
Alfred  Clarke,  Caffyn,  Julius  Cffisar,  Tom 
Lockyer,  and  Anderson.  This  was  as  good  an 
eleven  as  to  professionals  as  could  be  found, 
save  that  Daft  was  conspicuous  by  hisabscnce. —

Eton. — ^Were  the  question  to  he  asked 
me,  did  I  consider  that  Eton  College,  as  it  now 
is,  fulfills  any  of  the  original  intentions  of  King 
Henry  in  founding  it,  I  should  answer,  "No." 
I  should  answer  "No"  as  distinctly  as  I  should 
were  I  to  be  asked  it,  in  my  opinion,  Christ's 
Hospital  at  present  fulfills  the  intentions  of 
Edward  VI.  in  founding  it,  or  any  of  the  other 
groat  foundation  schools  of  England  the  origi- 
nal intentions  of  their  founders  in  creating 
Ihem.  I  should  say  of  Eton  that  at  present  it 
is  the  most  aristocratic  school  in  England,  prob- 
ably in  the  whole  world,  aud  that,  in  its  ele- 
ments, it  is  utterly  opposed  to  the  school  con- 
ceived by  Henry,  and  by  him  decreed  "to 
endure  to  all  time."  True,  it  retains  one 
essential  feature  of  the  King's  scheme,  in  that 
it  continues  to  afford  gratuitous  board,  lodging. 
and  education  to  scholars,  but  not  to  poor 
scholars;  on  the  contrary,  to  scholars  whose 
parents  must  expend  considerable  sums  in  hav- 
ing their  sons  "crammed"  to  the  proper  "pass- 
ing" point,  tar  more  considerable  indeed  than 
most  parents  of  "poor  scholars  "  could  possibly 
aifora.  And  when  it  is  borne  in  view  that  in 
the  now  annual  competitions  for  election  at 
Eton  some  .SO  or  flO  youths  usually  present 
themselves  to  conipete  for  about  12  vacancies, 
the  value  that  is  attiched  to  succe.ss  at  the 
examination  by  parents  may  be  very 
fairly  e.stimated.  In  order  that  the  reader 
may  understand  clearly  the  nature  of 
the  benefits  ba-sed  upon  Henry's  scheme, 
now  remaining  open  to  the  Engli.sh 
youth,  it  will  be  convenient  that  it  should  be 
here  pointed  out  what  the.se  are.  The  last  Mon- 
dav  in  each  July  is  what  is  known  at  Eton  as 
"  Election  Monday."  when  any  boy  of  British 
parentage,  who  has  reached  his  twelfth  year, 
and  not  pas.sed  his  fifteenth  birthday,  and  who 
can  produce  certiflcAtes  of  good  moral  charac- 
ter and  necessary  evidence  as  to  birth,  may 
present  himself  for  election  to  the  "college." 
It  is  to  be  understood  that  it  is  open  tf»  all  boys 
within  certain  limits,  abd  whose  parents  can  af- 
ford the  expense  to  enter  at  Eton  as  "  op- 
pidans," or  boys  not  educated  ,on  the  founda- 
tion :  but  for  the  benefits  of  the  college  of 
King  Henry,  every  youth  is  now  elected  in  com- 
petitive examtuation.  aud  on  election  will  be- 
come one  of  the  "  King's  scholars,"  so  called, 
of  whom  there  are  some  7tl  in  number.  .'Vs 
vacancies  in  this  number  occur,  these  are  again 
filled  up  at  "  election.''  The  King's  s^-bolars 
live  by  themselves,  in  a  range  of  buildings 
within  the  college — a  masmificent  exchange  for 
the  dreariness  and  discomfort  of  "  Long  Cham- 
ber"— and  arc  exempted  from  all  payments  tor 
board,  lodging,  and  education  during  their  stay 
at  Etrfn.  which  continues  generally  until  the 
"  election"  next  after  tho  scholar's  nineteenth 
birthday.  At  King's  College.  Cambridge,  ap- 
propriated, under  Henry's  scheme,  to  the  schol- 
ars of  Eton,  are  2-1  scholarships  of  tll^  annual 
value  of  £80.  with  "commons, '  rooms,  and  tui- 
tion free,  tenable  until  the  degree  of  .4.  M.  is 
reached.  As  vacancies  "npon  thelistof  elected 
scholars  occur,  thev  are  filled  upbyKing'sscholars 
from  Eton,  who  have  themselves  qualified  in 
examiitatlon  for  the  honor.  So  it  will  be  seen 
that  there  is  a  relic  of  the  charitable  scheme 
propounded  by  Henry  still  belonging  to  his  Col- 
lege of  Eten.  And  it  seems  worthy  of  record, 
as  evidence  of  the  maintenance  of  the  King's 
foundation,  notwithstanding  the  silent  efforts  of 
the  aristocratic  spirit  of  English  wealth  to  de- 
stroy it,  that  the  King's  scholars  alone  keep  up 
the  reputation  of  Eten  for  learning.  I  say 
alone,  because  it  seems  to  be  a  very  rare  event 
hapt>ening  in  her  history  to  find  one  of  the 
"  oppidans"  (of  whom  we  shall  have  something 
to  say  presently!  occupying  the  place  of  "cap- 
tain of  the  school,"  or.  to  be  more  explanatorj-. 
head-boy.  Moreover,  in  examining  the  school- 
lists  for  the  past  year,  it  w.Vs  with  peculiar 
gratification  I  found  that  the  King's  scholars 
in  nearly  every  instance  appeared  as  leading 
the  several  school  classes.  'The  peculiar  gratifi- 
cation I  found  in  noting  this  had  arisen  from  a 
deeply-imbued  desire  to  recognize  everywhere — 
antl  to  ciy  a  cheer  wherever  I  find  its  claims  are 
recognized  and  acknowledged— the  majestv.  if 
I  may  use  the  expression,  of  learning.  And  for 
this  reason  I  feel  almost  tempted  to  ask  pardon 
for  the  covert  sneer  implied  in  the  remark  that 
the  parents  of  Eton's  "  poor  scholars  "  are  gen- 
erally of  tho  moneyed  classes,  because,  finding 
those  scholars  so  ably  recocnizing  and  so  prop- 
erly defining  the  tiTie  position'  of  learning,  it 
can  be  no  reflection  npon  them,  but  must  rather 
stand  to  their  honor  that  their  parents  are  mon- 
eyed people. — Appleton's  Journal. 

T.iGUONi  AND  ELS.SLER. — "'  La  Sylphide' 
marks  a  ballet  epoch,"  savs  Mr.  Chorley  in  his 
Musical  RecoUejiions,  "as  a  work  that  intro- 
duced an  element  of  delicate  fantasy  and  fairy- 
ism  into  the  most  artificial  of  all  dramatic  ex- 
hibitions, one  which  to  some  degree  poetized  it. 
After  '  La  Sylphide '  were  to  come  '  La  FiUe  de 
Danube '  and  '  Giselle  '  (containing  some  of 
Adolphe  Adam's  best  music, )  '  L'Ombre  and  a 
score  of  ballets,  in  which  the  changes  were  rung 
on  Naid  and  Nereid  life  on  the  ill-assorted  love 
of  some  creatare  of  the  elements  for  an  earthly 
mortal.  The  purity  and  ethereal  grace  of  MUe. 
Taglioni's  stylo  suggested  the  opening  of  this 
vein,  as  it  also  founded  a  school  of  imitators. 
Then  her  mimic  powers,  however  elegant,  were 
limited.  Her  face  had  few  changes.  Her 
character  dances,  as  in  "  Goillaume 
■Tell,'  '  La  Bayadere.'  were  new  and 
graceful ;  but  their  seduction  and 
pfiquancy  were  to  be  outdone.  When  she 
touched  our  cold  English  grotmd.  however,  tho 
Sylph  excited  as  much  enthusiA.sm  as  the  most 
idolized  songstress  can  now  do.  But,"  he  adds, 
"  there  was  a  little  sameness  in  her  effects. 
JlUe.  Elssler's  dignified  and  trinmphat  beauty 
of  face  and  form  would  have  made  her  remark- 
able whatever  dress  she  wore,  in  whatever 
world  she  appeared.  There  was  more,  however, 
of  the  Circe  than  of  the  Dlnna  in  her  smile. 
A  mistress  of  the  grand  and  artificial  art  of 
dancing,  she  possessed  many  more  resources 
than  Mile.  Taglloni.  •  «  «  The  exquisite 
management  or  her  bust  and  arms  (one  of  the 
hardest  things  to  acquire  in  dancing)  set  her 
apart  from  every  one  whom  I  have  seen 
before  or  since.  Nothing  in  execution 
was  too  daring  for  her,  nothing  too 
pointed.  If  Mile.  Taglioni  flew,  she 
flashed.  The  one  floated  on  to  the  stogo  like  a 
nymph,  the  other  showered  every  sparkling  fas- 
cination round  her  like  a  sorceress.  Her  ver- 
satility, too,  was  complete :  she  had  every  style, 
every  national  humor  under  her  feet^ — she  could 
be  Spaniard  for  the  Spaniards,  or  Russian  for  the 
Northerns,  or  NeapoUtan  for  those  who  love  the 
delicious  Tannttua.  But  beyond  these  Mile. 
Elssler,  as  an  actress,  commanded  powers  of 
high  and  subtle  rarity."  Speadngof  her  acting 
in  the  ballet  pf  "  The  Gypsy,"  upon  which  Balfe 
founded  his  "Bohemian  Girl,''  »nd  of  the  scene 
in  which  she  dances  a  minuet  to  distract  atten- 
tion from  her  io'v^r,  who  is  concealed  h»rd  by  in 
danger  of  his  life,  the  same  writer  continues  : 
"  Pew  tilings  have  been  seen  more  fearful  than 
the  cold  and  measured  grace  of  Mllo.  Fanny 
Elssler  in  this  juncture,  than  the  manner  in 
which  every  step  tftSs  whttibsA,  every  gesture 
^OT^ed  its  light  tine,  lo  that  neither  Sozry  nor 


flattery  might  be  detected,  than  the  nt  enlle, 
tho  vigilant  ear,  the  quivering  lips  etmtrolllng 
itself.  It  -was  by  representations  such  as  these 
that  Fanny  Elssler  gradually  established  a  fame 
among  the  few  as  well  as  the  many  which 
could  hau  t>ecn  built  up  by  no  piroH- 
ettes  nor  entrechats,  but  in  right  of  which  she  is 
enrolled  among  the  great  dramatic  artists  of  the 
century."  One  of  her  greatest  triumphs  was  in 
the  bsUet  of  the  "  Tarantula,"  which  is  the  story 
of  a  girl  who  pretends  to  be  tarantula- mad  that 
she  may  dance  an  elderly  suitor  into  declining 
her  hand.  "  The  manner  in  which  she  wrought 
its  whimsical  scenes  up  to  a  climax  ;  the  grace, 
the  daring,  the  incessant  brilliancy,  the  fever- 
ish buoancy,  and  the  sly  humor  with  whl;h  she 
managed  to  let  the  public  into  the  secret  that 
her  madness  was  only  feigned,  raised  this  ri-

rnoii  Gen.  Sheridan.— In  the  London  Athe- 
MFum  of  July  28  the  following  correspondence 
appears ; 

NEw-ToitK,  Friday.  July  0.  1877. 

In  the  Athenerum  of  June  2  I  read  a  long 
review  of  CoL  DentsonljJ/jstory  o/  (Mvalry,  and 
must  say  I  ^-as  greatly  interested ;  more  par- 
ticularly with  that  portion  where  Lieut -Gen. 
Sheridan  is  mentioned  a-s  having  described  the 
defeat  of  a  ca'valry  regiment  by  infantry  skir- 
mishers at  Sedan..  I  at  once  wrote  to  Sheridan 
on  the  subject.  After  calling  his  attention 
to  the  book,  (a  copy  of  which  I  regret  I  have 
not  yet  seen,)  and  to  your  long  criticism, 
I  continued,  I  should  like  to  know 
if  you  have  been  correctly  quoted  in  this 
matter.  If  so,  will  you  please  to  inform  me 
as  to  the  pace  of  the  charge :  also  how  it  was 
that  a  line  of  skirmishers  could  resist — in  fact, 
destroy— a  regiment  of  hussars  I  Were  yon  in 
a  position  where  you  could  see  that  which  is 
r  elated  as  coming  from  your  lips,  or  was  it  told 
you  by  .some  officer  w6o  was  on  the  skirmish 
iinei  I  should  like  very  muct)  to  receive  from 
you  your  recollections  of  this  affair.  *  *  *  1 
am  afraid  CoL  Denlson  has  been  imposed  upon  : 
and  it  will  require  your  own  stotement  to  dis- 
possess me  of  that  belief.  I  write  you  in  the 
interests  of  the  service,  here  and  abroad,  and 
have  the  honor,  &c. 

In  a  very  few  days  I  received  a  letter  from 
the  Lieutenant^General  as  follows :

CmrAOO.  .lune  23,  1J=*77.     ) 

Mv  Dear  Captain  :  Yours  of  tho  16th  iiist. 
is  just  at  hand.  Lient-Col.  Denison's  state- 
ment, as  quoted  by  yon,  in  reference  to  the 
charge  of  the  Fi-ench  cavalry  at  Sedan,  above 
and  near  the  village  of  Flowing,  is,  iu  the  main, 
correct. 

1  was  watehing  the  advance  of  the  German 
troops  through  a  field-glass,  and  saw  the  whole 
affair  distinctly.  "The  tacts  are  as  follows  :  The 
German  infantry,  after  passing  throngh  the 
village  of  Flowing,  moved  up  a  steep  ascent, 
with  a  skirmisU  line  in  advance.  Upon 
reaching  the  brow  of  the  hill  the  skir- 
lui-shers  t!ame  upon  a  sort  of  plateau, 
and  were  at  once  discovered  by  the 
French  cavalry,  a  small  brigade  of  which,  say 
from  1,200  to' 1,300  strong,  was  in  the  imme- 
diate vicinity.  "The  line  had  advanced  but  a 
short  distance  upon  the  plateau  when  they  were 
met  by  the  cavalry,  which  charged  them-  Aa 
the  cavalry  came  down  upon  them,  they  were 
broken  into  small  knots  or  detachments  of  men. 
of  somewhat  unequal  size,  the  cavalry  ha'ving 
ridden  completely  through  the  line ;  but  mean- 
w-hile  the  little  groups  of  infantry  kept  up  a 
galling  fire  upon  the  ■troopers  by  turning  'to 
their  rear,  and  constantly  firing  unon  them  as 
they  broke  back  around  their  flatiks,  and  back 
through  the  groups  of  skinmshers  toward  the 
direction  from  which  they  had  come, 

Xo  sooner  had  the  cavalry  fallen  back  than 
the  skirmish  line  reformed,  and  was  rapidly 
strengthened  by  some  of  the  soldiers  of  the  main 
body,  who,  as  soon  as  they  reached  the  plateau, 
saw  at  once  the  perilous  condition  of  their  com- 
rades, and  ran  torward  to  their  assistance.  In 
the  mean  time  the  cavalry,  which  had  retired 
beyond  range,  promptly  rallied,  and  reforming 
with  scarcely  a  moment's  delay,  again  advanced 
to  the  charge.  Once  more  the  skirmishers  re- 
ceived them  with  a  volley,  and  adopted  pre- 
cisely the  .same  tactics  which  they  seem  to  have 
been  forced  to  at  first  Again  the  cavalry 
broke  through  the  line,  but  practically  accom- 
plished nothing,  for  the  Germans  poured  in  a 
withering  fire  from  their  small  knots  or  detach- 
ments, until  the  cavalry  once  more  retired 
around  the  flanks,  having  lost  large  numbers  of 
men  and  horses. 

During  the  time  occupied  by  this  second  at- 
tack the  leading  files  of  the  main  body  of  the 
Germans,  which  hod  naturally  become  some- 
what broken  while  moving  up  the  rough  ground 
of  the  heights,  came  out  upon  the  plateau,  and 
hurried  forward  with  great  speed  to  the  skirm- 
ish line,  which  now.  from  constant  accession, 
liad  become  very  strong— in  fact,  almost  a  line 
of  battle. 

Once  more  the  cavalry  rallied,  and.  halving 
reformed  for  tho  third  time,  gallantly  came 
down  at  a  charge  ;  but  their  valor  was  of  no 
avail,  for  the  Germans  met  them  with  such  a 
terrible  and  destructive  fire  that  thev  badly  cut 
up  the  leading  files,  and  completely  broke  and 
scattered  the  French  squadrons,  who  this  time 
utterly  failed  to  break  the  line,  and  were  fear- 
f'.iUy  punished.  With  scarcely  any  delay,  tho 
German  line  advanced,  and  pushed  on  to  their 
objective  point. 

This  action  was  plainly  .seen  by  manv  officers 
who  were  looking  at  the  battle,  my  afde.  Gen. 
J.  W.  Forsyth,  belnc  among  them.

A  Great  Tragedian's  Retiremest.— It 

must  have  been  a  terrible  renunciation  for  Mrs, 
Siddons  to  have  retired  from  those  dazzling  tri- 
umphs into  the  monotony  of  private  life.  As 
she  sat  at  home  in  the  long  evenings,  she  would 
say,  "  Now  I  used  to  be  geing  to  dress — now  the 
curtain  is  about  to  rise."  Her  body  was  there, 
bnt  her  soul  was  still  before  the  footlights.  She 
played  .several  times  after  her  formal 
retirement  for  her  brother  Charles'  bene- 
fit, aud  gave  some  performances  at  Ed- 
inburgh   for  her   son's   children.      Her     last 

appearance  was  in  1819,  as  Lady  Ratuiolph  to 
Jlacready's  Glenalvon.  "  It  was  not  a  per- 
formance,'' he  ■writes  in  his  diary,  "  but  a  mere 
repetition  of  the  ijoet's  text — no  flash,  no  sign, 
of  her  pristine  all-sulHiuing.  genius.''  She.  re- 
ceived the  homage  of  the  great  to  the  last,  and 
when  she  lodged  in  to'wn,  files  of  carriages  were 
neariy  all  day  drawn  up  before  the  door  of  her 
lodgings.  She  survived  until  the  year  1831, 
still  continuing  to  delight  select  circles,  even 
royal  ones,  ■with  her  privi\te  readings  from 
Sliakespoare  and  Milton. — 2'empJe  Bar. 

Teeth  Deformitt  in  Admirai.tt  Island. 
—The  -Russian  traveler,  5L  Miklucho-Maclay,  in 
tho  course  of  recent  travel  in  Melanesia,  has 
noticed  among  the  natives  of  the  Admiralty  and 
Hermit  Isles  a  remarkable  peculiarity  in  the 
teeth,  the  upper  Incisors  projecting  "  shovel- 
like," almost  horizontally,  .ind  to  such  a  degree 

as  to  extend  even  beyond  the  lips  when  the  mouth 
is  closed.  Thebreadth.moreover,  of  oneof  these 
teeth  is  at  times  so  great  as  to  equal  its  visible 
length — ^l>elng  in  the  specimen  figured  as  much 
as  19  millimetres  to  10  millimetres  of  length, 
measured,  of  course  from  the  edge  of  the  jaws, 
not  from  the  extremity  of  its  fang.  As  all  the 
teeth  have  a  blackish  polish,  due  to  the  pre- 
vailing habit  of  betel-chewing,  the  mouth  pre- 
sents a  somewhat  ghastly  appearance.  M. 
Mikhicho-Maclay  has  nowhere  else  met  with 
a  similar  deformity  of  the  teeth,  but  heard  of 
such  when  on  the  Peninsula  of  Malacca,  the 
race  in  which  it  occura  being  called  "  orang- 
Sature. 


A  Statue  to  IjiNN.aX8. — The  intention 
is  kno'wn  to  have  been  long  cherished  to  erect  a 
monument  in  Stockholm  to  Linnaeus,  and  a  sum 
of  45,000  crowns  has  been  collected  for  tho 
purpose.  There  have  been  two  proposals,  and 
to  carry  out  the  smaller  of  these  the  sun  just 
named  would  be  sufficient  But  since  the  convic- 
tion has  of  late  gradually  gained  strength  that  the 
statoe  should  be  raised  on  the  so-called  "  Flora's

desire  has  also  grown  to  realize  the  larger  pro-

Kleber. — Kleber  was  more  than  a,  grest 
soldier  of  the  type  common  in  French  histozy. 
He  had  more  experience  in  1794-5  than  moat 
of  his  Republican  colleagues,  and  he  posaesse<l 
in  the  highest  degree  the  faculty  of  militsjy 
organization  and  of  preparation  for  the  field. 
No  General  of  the  Army  of  the  Sambre  and 
Mouse  was  bis  equal  in  making  real  soldiers  on*  . 
of  the  young  levies  of  1793—4;  and  the  taak 
of  providing  for  important  movements  was  at- . 
most  always  intru-sted  to  him.  Like  all  wha 
have  excelled  in  work  of  this  kind,  he  ■was  av 
excellent  judge  of  ri.sing  merit :  and  his  keen 
eye  soon  perceived  tho  telents-of  Ney  and  of 
other  distinguished  officers.  For  converting 
recruits  into  trained  soldiers  he  relied,  of 
course,  in  the  main,  on  the  methods  ■which, 
from  the  times  of  Rome  to  our  own,  have  been 
the  only  means  of  success — on  strict  disciplina 
ajid  attentive  care  ;  and  though  Napoleon  scofl- 
ingjy  said  that  he  was  too  much  ot  a  martinet 
for  "Frenchmen,  this  really  was  a  sign  of  hi£ 
excellence.  In  preparing  for  a  great  military 
operation  Kleber  seemed  slow  to  enthusiasts 
scioltsts  :  but  he  was  generally  successful  and 
always  sure  ;  and  his  diligence  in  enforcing 
the  exact  performance  o£  the  duties  that 
preser\'e  armies  from  surprise  or  failQI« 
should  be  noteil  by  French  officers  of  our  time. 
Kleber,  too.  like  ra'»at  of  the  Kepublican  lead- 
ers, w-hile  e.-cacting  strict  and  unfailing  disci- 
pline, knew  how  te  app^'al  to  the  finer  senti* 
ments  ot  the  French  soldiery  of  this 
stirring  period :  "  Hunting  and  shooting  gams 
are  strictly  prohibited.  Patriotism  ought  t* 
teach  the  'soldiers  that  they  should  be  sparinif 
of  the  resources  which  'assure  us  success- 
They  ought  to  feel  that  tho  only  use  of  ouf 
powder  Ls  to  destroy  the  enemy."  The  merits 
of  Kl6l>er  in  these '  campaigns  were  lessened 
by  defects  which  had  become  prominent  He 
had  a  repugnance  to  supreme  command,  and 
he  gave  the  French  Government  much  em- 
barrassment by  ref  u-^iug.  not  less  than  thres 
time«i,  between  1704  and  179f».  to  command 
an  .Army  on  the  German  frontier.  This  may 
have  been  due.  in  part,  t.)  modesty ;  but  less 
worthy  motives  certainly  concurred ;  and, 
as  affairs  then  stood,  it  was  unpatriotic  con- 
duct Kleber.  too.  t-ould  not  submit  himself 
to  tho  discipline  he  imposed  on  others ;  his 
self-esteem  and  republican  pride  caused  hinx  ■ 
to  chafe  under  superior  authority :  and, 
though  for  the  most  part  a  loyal  colleague, 
he  was  sometimes  jealou-s,  vexatious,  anq 
re.stive.  It  was  said  of  him  in  the  Army  ot' 
the  Sambre  and  Meuso,  tliat  he  would  not 
command  an,l  conid  not  obey  ;  and,  on  one 
occasion,  at  the  critic^  moment^  ■when  tha 
Archduke  Charles  was  carrying  all  before- 
him,  he  refused,  in  the  face  of  hii,  men.  to  do 
Jourdan's  bidding— an  act  that  dcser\-es  the  se- 
verest blame.  Bfsides,  h^  wa.s  prone  to  mats 
difficulties,  and  to  exacgeeate  obstacles  that  b^ 
set  his  path  ;  ho  more  than  once  wished  tff, 
throw  up  his  command  on  frivolous  or  inade- 
quate pretexts,  and  be  could  lie  at  times  cr08»< 
grained  and  ill-tempered.  From  the  following, 
written  in  the  front  ot  the  enemy,  we  see  how 
Irritable  his  disposition  could  be  ;  and  it  ia 
neccs-sary  to  bear  in  mind  these  flaws  in  his  char- 
acter to  estimate  rightly  bis  conduci.  in  Egypt : 
"  I  assure  you.  my  dear  .Tourdan.  i'  is  irbaa 
friendship  to  you  t'hat  I  have  accepteu  the  mis' 
erable  and  odious  command  yon  have  given  me, 
and  al.so  becatise  I  had  expected  that  under  youi 
orders  I  should  not  bav.^  to  bear  that  hateful  in- 
terference which  ■was  unknown  in  your  Army.  <

Hecext    Pompeiak    Di.?coveries. — ^That 

comparatively  so  little  of  the  treasures  of  the  Pom- 
peiani  is  found  is  easily  explained  by  the  fact  that 
the  inha'oitants  who  had  escaped  and  thievea, 
broke  into  the  house.s.  especially  between  tha 
earthquake  and  the  eruption,  and  carried  off  all 
articles  of  value.  Mostot  thehou.«eshave  indica- 
tions of  these  visits  in  the  modem  mason  worlr 
which  closes  a  hole.  I  am  not  aware  that  ■whaf 
are  called  the  "  wat°r  castles*'  have  been  sulfi 
ciently  noted,  perhaps  for  the  reason  that  most 
have  been  carelessly  destroyed.  One,  howevei;, 
has  lately  been  di-scovered,  and  propped  up  an4 
bound  round  with  iron.  They  were  buildings  f  on' 
supplying  the  neighboring  houses  with  water- 
The  top  was  a  large  t-iwc/i  to  which  ■water  wa« 
carried  up  by  leaden  pipes,  a  great  number  ol 
which  still  lie  under  the  level  of  the  ground. 
By  pipes  the  water  was  again  distributed  froni 
hou.se  to  house  from  the  rnsca.  The  Samo, 
which  supplied  it.  still  runs  underneath  Pom- 
peii, and  its  impurity  is  evident  from  the  de- 
posits which -have  been  formed  on  the  wails 
of  the  castle ;  its  continued  droppinff 
has  covered  them  with  a  kind  of  stalac- 
tite. Puither  examination  .shows  that  theAa 
deposits  correspond  exactly  with  the  stone  witb 
which  a  great  part  of  I'ompeii  was  built  Tha 
stone  was  brought  from  Same,  on  the  river  off 
the  Banje  name,  which  thus  supplied  the  iml 
habitants  with  building  material  and  drinking) 
water.  "The  spot  on  which  excavations  are  aoJ 
tually  carried  on  now  is  called  the  bathing  e9*, 
tablishment.  It  is  an  immense  hall,  and  is 
still  half  full  of  pumice-stone  ;  but  in  the  verr 
centre  of  the  mass,  after  many  feet  of  sou 
had  been  removed,  there  were  found,  last 
month,  four  human  skeletons,  one  of  a  woman,

ScoTLAOT)  IM  James  H'.'s  Tijre.— Prom 

the  accounts  ot  the  Lord  High  Treasnrer  of 
Scotland  in  1473  we  learn  that  the  porpoise, 
the  seal,  and  even  the  polypus  were  esteemed 
delicacies.  French  wines  were  drauk  by  tha 
wealthy,  bat  beer  was  the  beverage  most  in  use, 
and  the  brewing  trade  was  then  entirely  in  the 
bonds  of  women  called  "  brew.ster  wi-ves." 
■Whisky,  tiow  the  national  drizik,  was  almost  on, 
kno^,  and  though  it  is  mentioned  in  the  ao- 
coiuits,  it  was  evidently  regarded  more  as  a 
cordial  or  drug  than  a  liquor  for  oommoc  tise. 
Cider,  too,  is  once  nuiztioned  as  form- 
ing part  of  the  provisi-^cs  of  the  ship

amnsemeuts  of  all  sorts,  there  are  contaanal 
entries  of  sums  advanced  to  tha  King  for  plvf 
at  cards.  Hunting  and  hawking  were  hu 
favorite  field  sports,  and  no  expense  or  ^wini 
were  spared  to  get  him  hawks  to  his  mind.  A

Oy  THK  LAW — THl  XABSET  PEOPEETT. 

A  few  dAys  ago  Ur.  John  Keenan,  the  uew 
Cl«Tk  of  Wuhiaytoii  Mudcet,  who  wm  Appointed  by 
tho  ContxoUar  at  the  instanee  of  tht  Tammany  men. 
In  Ma  diatrict,  wa«  the  centra  of  a  group  of  bntchera 
»t  one  of  the  tooths  near  Vesey-street  He  was 
hflfcrious  to  the  last  degree,  bnt  he  seemed  to  ap- 
preciato  the  fact  that  the  remoral  of  his  predecessor, 
Mr.  Oornell,  waa  not  gracefully  taken  by  the  market 
men.  There  was  quite  a  difference  between  them. 
Mr.  Cornell  had  Dean  in  the  victualing  buxineBa  for 
40  7eazi,  while  his  mcceasor,  it  appears,  waa  oe- 
eupied  in  aelling  mm.  The  atand-holdera  naturaQy 
took  aidea  with  Mr.  Cornell  One  of  them  Mid  to 
the  Lew  Clerk: 

"Mr.  Keeuan,  you've  oome  down  pretty  late  to- 
d»T.  Ita  now  nearly  0  o'clock."  "  That's  nothing," 
replied  KwinaTT,  **  Tre  had  aome  other  boainess  on 
huid." 

"  Bat  this  market  requires  a  Clerk  here  all  the 
ttme."  "Oh,  tbat'a  all  right,"  aald  Eeenan,  laugh- 
ing, "  I  have  to  go  away  to-d»y.  and  ril  have  to  go 
«way  to-morrow,  alsa" 

"But  you  should  leave  somebody  to  do  your 
da^."  **  There's  no  occasion  to  do  that,"  exclaimed 
the  new  Clerk.  "  I*m  going  on  a  political  picnic  to- 
day, and  Fm  to  be  at  another  political  pienio  to-mor- 
row. You're  got  to  attend  to  these  little  thlnica,  you 
know." 

**  Yea ;  but  ain't  you  afraid  of  Gen.  Varian, 
the  Superintendent  of  Markets  t  He  may  fine 
you  or  lianl  you  up  for  being  away."  '•  Gen. 
Varian,"  said  Keenan  contemptuously,  "I got  my 
place  from  bigser  men  than  he  is,  and  therefore  he 
can't  do  uiything  against  me." 

Then  Keenan  atratted  past  the  group  of  butchers 
on  hla  way  to  a  political  picnic  on  the  Boulevarda, 
fuHy  aware  that  hla  salary  was  running  on. 

A  Tzxxs  reporter  called  upon  an  old  Washington* 
Market  butcher  in  order  to  ascertain  what  effect  the 
appointment  of  the  new  market  officers  hod  upon  the 
stand-holders.  "  They  are  afraid, "  aaui  he,  "  to  say 
znach  about  it  except  among  thamselves..  You 
know  that  the  publlo  markets  are  under  the 
control  of  the  Finance  Department,  and  there- 
fore it  would  ba  dangerous  to  have  our 
names  mentioned  in  connectioA  with  any  opposition 
to  the  new  officials  who  might,  pe:diap8,  persecute  us 
if  they  found  out  that  we  were  hostile  to  them,  fint 
I  know  the  sentiments  of  the  stand-holders.  I  know 
that  they  h«?e  been  utterly  disappointed  at  the  re- 
moval of  Mr,  Thome,  the  Deputy  Collector,  and  Mr. 
Cornell,  especially,  as  the  m^i  who  were  selected  to 
succeed  them  are  inexperienced  and  unworthy  of  their 
places." 

"  "What  are  the  duties  of  the  Clerk  of  the  Market  I " 
"It  is  a  very  Important  position,"  replied  the 
butcher.  "A  clerk  la  charged  with  the  duty  of 
seizing  any  impure  meat  or  food  of  any  kind  thiut  he 
may  find  exposed  on  the  stalls.  All  the  reputable 
nun  in  the  market  are  opposed  to  selling  tainted 
meats,  but  there  are  others  who  are  willing  to  take 
the  risk,  and  a  market  clerk  has  got  to  get  up  bright 
and  early  to  catch  them.  This  is  the  season  when 
there  is  most  danger  on  that  jwint. " 

"Don't  Keenan  look  after  the  matter  T "  "Keenan 
came  down  one  or  two  mornings  here  at  7  o'clock. 
That's  too  late  by  an  hour  to  catch  the  bob-veal  men, 
because  they  get  rid  of  their  stock  between  3  and 
5  o'clock.  AH  seizures  of  auch  stuff  hare  been 
made  before  the  hour  at  which  Keenan  makes  his 
appearance.  I  remember  that  when  Mr.  Cornell 
waa  clerk  he  came  down  at  2  o'clock  one  momlnc 
and  captured  1,600  pounds  of  the  stuff,  just  as  it 
was  about  to  be  gold.  If  it  had  been  used,  there 
would  have  been  a  good  deal  of  sickness  in  this  Oty, 
as  well  as  additional  loss  of  life.  The  ex-rSnperin- 
tendent,  Mr.  Devoe,  too,  was  verjr  active  in  such 
matters.  Impure  meat  could  not  oe  sold  in  'Wash- 
ington Market  while  he  was  Superintendent." 

^'  Is  it  sold  now  1"  "  I  can't  tell,  as  I  have  not  been 
around  amting  the  stands ,-  but  there  is  no  one  to 
prevent  it  being  sold." 

"Then  Keenan  don't  perform  his  duty!"  "He 
dx>as  not,  and  his  neglect  may  reault  in,  scattering 
impure  meat,  and  consequent  dltie&se,  in  many  parts 
of  this  City.  Ive  never  known  a  time  when  more 
facilities  exluted  for  selling  tainted  food  than  there 
are  now.  And  here  is  another  thing.  Suppose  a 
reputable  butcher  here  should  see  bob- veal  or  tmnted 
metu  exposed ;    he  baa  got  no  power  to  seize  it,  and, 

05  the  Clerk  of  the  Market  Is  not  to  be  found,  there 
is  no  one  to  prevent  the  stufE  from  beingc^ld.  You 
will  find  that  every  market  man  la  of  th^pkiion  that 
a  market  official  should  be  on  niD^..aU  the 
time,      BO    as     to    bear    complaints    or    see    that 

and  wholesome  foocf  is  eold.  But  I 
seen  Mr.  Keenan  very  seldom  among 
us,  and  when  he  does  appear  it  is  only  Uke  a  dying 
vialt.  If  the  stand-holden  had  an  opportunity  to 
speak,  without  any  prospect  of  being  injured, 'they 
would  petition  for  the  appointment  of  better  men 
than  have  been  selected.  "Last  Monday."  contin- 
ued the  sCand-hoMer.  "Keenaa  gave  permi^^sion  to 
persons  to  keep  standt  on  the  aiaewalks.  Th^  you 
know,  is  in  violation  of  the  law.  There  are  some 
stands  on  Vesey-street  where  hams  are  sold  at  from 

6  to  10  cents  a  pound — mnch  less  than  the  wholesale 
price-  Of  cour3e  they  are  sour,  and  calculated  to  in- 
jure be&ith.  Keenan  hesfd  the  men  shooting  out 
the  price,  but  he  didn't  examine  the  stuff.  It  &  not 
to  be  eipecied  that  he  should  know  much  about  the 
matter,  espedally  as  it  is  said  that  he  is  a  liquor- 
dealer.  Besides,  if  ho  had  any  capacity  he  thinks 
more  of  politics  than  of  hla  duties.  In  fact,  he  seems 
to  want  to  keep  the  place  and  do  little  or  nothing. 
taiA  tiie  result  may  be  th'it  immense  quantities  of 
rotten  os  tainted  meats  may  be  dispensed  from  this 
market  to  every  portion  of  this  City.  The  markets 
server  had  a  better  set  of  officers  than  those  who 
ware  removed.  In  Dick  Connolly's  time  he  put  per- 
Act leeches  over  ns.  and  theyrobbed  usri^t  and  left. 
We  raised  about  ?I30.000  to  put  a  roofon  the  mar- 
ket, and  the  fellows  pat  It  in  their  pockets.  At  that 
time  stands  were  taken  from  their  owners  without 
the  riighteat  ceremony." 

""Vrhat  about  West  ^Vaahineton  Market  I"  **Mr. 
Bomaine  attends  to  that,  and  no  lon^  as  he  is  there 
no  impure  meat  Is  likely  to  be  sold  in  it  " 

Prom  these  facts  it  wooid  appear  that  the  health,  if 
not  the  lives,  of  many  persous  in  this  City  depends 
2pon  the  admlni.ftratlon  of  Mr.  John  Keenan,  the 
nmmany  Cl^rk  of  Washington  Market,  and  that,  so 
Skw  aa  he  la  concerned,  he  has  not  taken  any  precau- 
tknia  wliatever  to  prevent  thffsale  of' unwholesome 
or  Imxmr?  meats  in  that  great  store-house  of  animal 
lood.  His  official  duty,  ft  would  appear,  Is  to  attend 
^litieal  picnics,  and  to  be  an  active  worker  for  Tam- 
many In  his  (Ustriot.  He  is,  perhaps,  a  good  speci- 
men of  all  the  new  appointees.  It  is  pertinent  hero 
to  give  an  extratrt  from  a  report  made  by  Mr.  Devoe, 
tha  ex-Superintendent  of  Markets,  on  the'Subject  of  j 
the  itttroauetlon  of  un^u^Jasome  meat  into  the  mar-  i

markets.  The  stands  are  rented  at  from  $3  to  $7 
per  week,  and  the  rents  in  the  other  miarkets  are 
about  in  the  same  proportion.  At  present  it  would 
appear  that  the  markets  are  to  be  used  less  to  minis- 
ter to  the  necessities  of  the  people  than  to  thosfe  of 
the  active  workers  of  Tammany  in  the  various  dis- 
tricts. They  are  simply  to  be  used  to  furnish

LEGAL  PBOCEBDINGS  TO  BE  TAKEN  TO  OB- 
TAIN POSSESSION  OP  BARB£N  ISLAND — 
THE  LESSEES  TO  BE  DISPOSSESSED — 
SQUATTERS  WHO  DEFT  BOTH  PUBLIC 
AND  PRIVATE  OWNERS. 
The  legal  flght  for  the  poaaeaslon  of  Barren 
Island  as  a  City  dumping-ground  threatens  to  become 
both  lengthened  and  complicated.  The  Island  itself 
is  about  three  miles  long,  and  from  a  mile  to  a  mile 
and  a  half  broad.  The  property  at  either  end  is 
owned  by  Frank  Swift  and  Andrew  J.  White,  con- 
tractors, who  have  erected  a  fat-rendering  estab- 
lishment at  the  eastern  end,  and  put  up  other  im- 
provements. The  City's  property  embraces  about 
ISO  acres  in^tbe  centre,  and  hasahlstory  dating  back 
to  the  days  of  the  Ring.  It  originally  belonged  to  a 
Mr.  Coleman — the  former  partner  of  Mr.  Stetson, 
thepropiletor  of  the  Astor  House — and  was  by  bjrn 
sold  to  the  notorious  "Hugh"Sn]ith  for  ^000. 
The  property,  once  in  liia  hands,  Mr.  Smith  found  no 
difficulty  in  procuring  the  passage  of  an  act  by  ^e 
Legislature  permitting  its  purchase  by  the 
City  for  $40,000,  thus  netting  no 
less  than  $36.000  to  the  insenious 
owner.  Nothing  waa  done  by  the  Corporation  to  re- 
claim or  take  care  of  the  property,  and  it  soon  fell 
into  the  hands  of  a  colony  of  squatters,  who  took 
their  goats,  pigs,  and  other  live  stock  with  them,  and 
made  the  island  even  more  dreary  and  disagreeable 
than  before.  A  liquor  saloon  was  also  started,  and  the 
hamlet  gave  every  indication  of  developing  into  a  per- 
manent settlement.  Meantime,  difficulties  arose  be- 
tween thesqnattersandMessrs.  Swift  &  White,  the  lat- 
ter complaining  that  the  new-comers  were  a  ntiisance 
as  well  as  constant  trespassers  on  their  land.  In 
1876  the  contractors  warned  the  New-York  authori- 
ties that  they  would  begin  legal  proceedings  to  com- 
pel the  City  to  fence  in  its  property  if  the  squatter? 
upon  it  continued  to  molest  them.  At  last  tne  Cor- 
poration Counsel  in  despair  decided  to  sell  the  plot  at 
auction,  but  no  one  would  buy  it,  and  the  matter 
was  finally  settled  by  leasing  it  to  Messrs.  Swift  & 
White  for  two  vears  at  an  annual  rent  of  $400.  The 
contractors  paid  80  per  cent,  of  the  first  year's  rent 
as  a  deposit,  but  finding  tliat  they  could  not  evict  the 
squatter  colony,  refused  to  pay  any  more  until  the 
City  should  drive  out  the  trespassers  and  give  them 
possession.  On  the  19th  of  July  last  the  Commis- 
sioners of  the  Sinking  Fund  passed  the  foUowinsr 
resolution ;  " 

tThertas,  Oeorce  F.  Swift  and  Andrew  J.  TVl'.^ta  hsvo 
refme-l  to  cnmply  with  the  term*;  of  the  lease  of  lands  at 
Barren  lali-n  1.  leased  to  them  for  the  r*rm  of  two  vears 
from  May  1.  1876.  (bein?  between  IDO  and  120  a-rres  of 
land.)  and  have  paid  no  rent  therefor,  with  the  exception 
of  20  per  cent,  whloh  waa  collected  on  the  day  of  sale  ; 
therefore,  be  it 

Rmilvtd,  That  the  lease  made  with  Oeorce  P.  Swift  and 
Andrew  J.  Whit'' for  premliiea  on  Bftrren  Tuiaud  be  r*n- 
celeil  and  declared  void,  au-l  that  the  Counsel  to  the  Cof- 
por^ition  be  r&que*twj  to  take  immediate  steps  to  remove 
Messrs.  Swift  &  VTliite  from  the  o-jcupation  of  said 
lands. 

RtaolTfd,  That  all  of  tha  land  on  Barren  Island  owned 
ty  the  City  of  Kow-Tork  be  set  apart  for  the  uae  of  the 
Police  Department  of  rhe  City  of  New-Tork  ai  a  dtmip- 
iT'gfn'cund.  and  that  su-h  department  be  authorized  to 
tiLk.epoMeauouof  said  premises  upon  Messrs.  Swift  & 
White  havlnic  be<:n  ejected  therefrom. 

Owing  to  the  ignorance  of  the  CoiporatloU  Coun- 
sel and  nis  assistants,  who  imagined  that  Barren 
Island  was  in  the  town  of  Gravesend,  whereas  it  is 
in  the  town  of  Flatlands,  the  lessees  were  not  served 
with  the  notice  of  disjwssessment  until  yesterday. 
Mr.  A.  J.  White  stated  to  a  Times  reporter  that  he 
would  be  only  too  glad  if  the  Citv  would  take  posses- 
sion of  the  land,  provided  it  would  fence  it  in.  and 
nrotect  him  from  the  incursions  of  the  squatters. 
He  added  that  there  were  about  lOO  of  the  latter,  in- 
cluding women  and  children,  and  that  the  GXy  would 
have  no  easy  time  disposseasing  them.  "All  I 
want,"  said  Mr.  White,  "is  my  $90  back— S80  de- 
posit and  910  au  tion  fee.  We  have  never  been  able 
to  use  this  land  anyhow.  The  sand  men  from  Rock- 
awav  have  ?Bme  and  taken  as  many  as  SO  loads  of 
sand  at  a  time  from  it,  until  the  tide  has  threatened 
to  break  through  and  overflow  us.  In  any  event,  wo 
intend  to  make  the  City  build  a  fence  around  its  plot 
and  keep  the  inhabitants  from  interfering  with  us.'* 

As  yet  the  Street-cleaning  Bureau  has  not  availed 
itself  of  the  permission  of  the  Sinking  Fimd  Commis- 
Kiuuers.  and  there  are  indications  that  if  it  makes 
an  att*^mpt  to  do  so  the  inhabitants  of  Rockaway  and 
the  adjacent  coast  will  be  up  in  arms  aKsinst  it. 
There  are  already  manv  complaints  against  the  exis- 
tence of  the  fat-rendering  eatabllshment  from  the 
patrons  of  Rockawav  Beach,  who  say  that  when  the 
wind  blows  from  that  quarter  the  stench  is  over- 
powering. This  being  the  case,  the  introduction  of 
the  decayed  offal  and  garbege  fzx>m  Xew-York  will  be 
likely  to  largely  damage  the  adjacent  property,  and 
probably  give  rise  to  much  additional  litigation. 


JOHN  FOX  ly  TROUBLE. 


r  proper  nourishment,  would  have  produced  at  leant 
twice  the  quantity  of  a  proper,  wholesome  food.  It  was 
found  that  when  onr  raid  upon  this  young  or  bob 
veal  began  lart  Sprine  many  of  the  'dnalers  in  pub- 
Uo  maHtets  Imaginag  (I  mean  thoso  who  nad 
long  been  ensaged  la  seUine  this  kind  of  stuff) 
tbas  they  could  not  pay  their  fees,  and  vouldhave  to  stop 
thidr  bualnesB,  hecauae  they  conceived  that  they  would  be 
tmaUa  to  pay  the  price  for  wholeiK>mo  veal  from  calves 
of  a  proper  age.  The  Informatiun  they  received  in 
•nawer  wsa  that  in  foxur  we«k.s'  time  they  would  have 
good  and  wholesome  meat,  not  liable  to  seizure,  at  so  low 
a  plea  as  would  satisfy  them  from  itsproflts,  and  at  the 
aaoM  time  not  be  liable  to  suspension  from  their  stands. 
This  proved  to  be  tm*.  and  has  contlDued  so  to  the  pres- 
ent pesiod.  B^ond  our  pabllo  markets  there  is  nothing 
to  pcotect  OUT  eitlsens  from  these  impoaitiona,  except  In 
oefse  where  the  vender  proves  to  oe  an  honest  and  a 
oonadantious  person.  The  boef  seized  iras  from  animals 
tiiat  had  died  from  natural  causea,  cometlmea  from  dia- 
mm  nnd  In  others  from  injury,  or  had  been  slaughtered 
in  a  btuiacd  and  ferertsh  condition,  or  were  poor  orttun 
In  flash,  owing  to  disease  or  starvation ;  the  veal 
•was  from  calves  that  had  dlsd  either  a  natural  deatn  or 
<xt  atervation,  or  from,  very  yomig  calves,  called  bob- 
Teal — i.  r.,  calresiua^bomorkUled  within  two  or  three

tion, not  yet  having  ohanked  \(f  proper  nourishment ;  it 
nmalns  the  first  natoxat  fleeh,  and  presents  therefore  a  i

AEBESTED     BT  HIS   WIFE   U*   A   LONO     ISLAND 
TBAIN — WHAT   LED   TO   THE   DIFPICCT.TT. 

The  Brooklyn  Eagh  of  last  eyening  contains 
the  following: 

'*  On  Tuesday  morning  last  there  was  a  sensation 
on  the  &30  train  from  Merrick  for  New- York,  which 
has  set  all  the  island  gossips  busy.  The  passengers 
in  the  smoking  car  were  startled  by  the  sharp  scream 
of  a  woman  and  the  banging  of  the  door  between  the 
baggage  and  smoking  compartments.  Every  eye  waa 
turned  in  the  direction  from  whence  the  noise  came. 
Standing  in  the  doorway  was  a  large  man,  his  back  to 
the  passengers,  and  facing  him  a  lady  small  of  statue, 
handsomely  dressed,  and  weeping.  She  was  laboring 
under  great  eicitemiwtrtalking  rapidly,  andoccasion- 
allp  uttering  a  shriek.  Her  left  hand,  and  her  parasol 
in  ner  right,  were  uncomfortably  close  to  the  gentle- 
man's face,  and Nifly oral -tttlfes  be  had  to  move  back  to 
escape  being  struck.  The  passemcers  recognized  the 
gentleman  at  the  first  glance  as  Ex-Senator  Foi,  of 
New- York,  and  many  of  them  recognized  the  lady  as 
his  wife.  A  gentleman  who  sat  nearest  the  door 
says  of  the  scene :  "The  woman  was  frenzied  with 
rage;  if  I  had  not  known  her  I  would  have  taken  her 
fur  a  lunatic,  she  behaved  so  frantically;  she  shook 
her  hands  in  her  husband's  face,  ancl  whirled  her 
parasol  in  the  air  in  the  wildest  kind  of  a  manner; 
'Oh,  I've  caught  you  at  last,  yon  villain ;  it's  been 
going  on  for  a  long  time,  but  I've  caught  you  and  Til 
expose  you;  I've  been  married  to  you  12  years, 
(others  think  she  said  I'J  mouths,  but  that  is  evi- 
dently a  mistake.)  and  in  that  time  you've  kept  50 

;  you  went  away  from  liome  last   evening  to  be 

gone  an  hour  and  a  half,  and  you  remained  away  all 
night  i  I've  long  been  trying  to  catch  yoii,  and  I've 
succeeded  at  lost.'"  Then  she  accused  him  of  hav- 
ing roomed  all  night  with  a  voung  woman  residing 
between  BockvUIe  Centre  and  Baldwin's;  tliatitwa^ 
not  his  first  offense.  &c. 

£x-6enator  Fox  resides  at  Baldwin's,  where  he 
owns  a  Summer  seat  that  formerly  belonged  to  his 
wife's  father.  .  He  has  resided  there  for  several  Sum- 
mers, going  to  the  City  occasionally.  His  wife  is  a 
lady  honored  by  all  her  acquaintances,  both  in  New- 
York  and  at  Baldwin's.  It  is  not  long  since  she  lost 
one  or  both  of  her  children,  and  her  friends  feared 
for  a  few  days  that  her  reason  would  bo  dethroned. 
Information  of  the  Intimacy  of  Senator  Fox  with 
the  girl  in  quMtion  was  first  conveyed  to  Mrs.  Fox  ^ 
in  an  anonymous  letter  from  Eockville  Centre.  She  i 
has  tried  to  catch  her  husband  several  times,  but 
has  failed  every  time.  When  Mr,  Fox  left  his  home 
to  go  to  the  houso  of  the  lady  in  question,  if  he  did 
go  there,  as  Mrs.  Fox  charged,  he  must  have  been 
followed,  and  word  sent  back  to  Mrs.  Fox  either 
the  same  night  or  early  the  next  morning.  A 
voung  fellow  named  Nutting  is  suspected  of  hav- 
ing betrayed  the  ex-Senator,  prompted  by  jeal- 
ousy. At  Jamaica  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fox  left  the  train. 
She  was  then  tranquil,  but  weeping.  What  tran- 
spired between  them  in  the  depot  is  not  known, 
but  outside  there  was  another  stormy  scene.  Mrs. 
Fox  was  crj-iug  and  scolding  Mr.  Fox  at  a  livelv  rate. 
He  tried  to  pu£h  bv  her,  but  without  effect,  tite  pro- 
tested that  her  jealousy  was  groundless,  and  that  her 
mind  had  been  made  the  prey  of  an  enemy.  Mrs. 
Fox  lost  her  temper  finally,  and  struck  him  with  her 
parasol.  The  Senator  did  not  lay  hanc^  upon  her. 
He  e'v-idently  felt  overcome  by  shame  and  sorrow  for 
the  spectacle  his  wife  was  making  of  herself.  The 
scandal  has  created  no  little  excitement  on  the  south 
aide  of  Long  Island.  It  is  talked  of  in  the  domestic 
circles,  the  bar-rooms,  storeS:  and  on  the  trains.  Tlio 
friends  of  the  Senator  and  his  vrife  are  much  pained 
by  the  occurrence.  The  general  feeling  is  that  Mrs. 
Fox  was  not  qtute  herself,  and  that  she  was  ui^ed  on 
by  some  foul-mouthed  busybody."

To  Ou:  Editor  of  the  JTme-  ToTb  Tlaua  : 

I  take  the  liberty  of  asking,  through  The 
Tzicxfl,  the  corporation  of  Yale  Collie  to  inform 
the  Alumrt  of  that  institntion  why,  f<n:  the  first 
time  in  40  years,  the  name  of  Samuel  Jones  TUdeu  is 
inserted  in  the  triennial  catalogue  as  a  graduate  and 
member  of  the  distinguished  Claas  of  1837.  la  it 
supposed  that  the  name  of  this  great  reformer  would 
add  lustre  to  a  class  that  can  point  to  slich  names  as 
Evarts,  Pierrepont,  Putnam,  Chief  Justice  Waite,  be- 
sides an  array  of  Presidents  and  Professors  in  col- 
leges, and  half  a  score  of  Doctors  of  I>ivinity  1  In 
the  annual  Cyclopedia  for  1876  we  are  informed 
that  Mr.  Tllden  entered  Yale  College  in  1833,  but 
soon  left  that  institution  and  graduated  at  the 
University  of  Xew- York.  His  name  has  never  ap- 
peared in  the  triennial  of  Yale  College  until  tms 
year.  As  he  is  not  a  graduate  of  Yale,  by  what 
authority  is  hi:*  n:^ije  inserted  as  a  member  of  the

RlCHHOin>,  Ind.,  Thursday,  Aug.  16, 1877. 
'When  attenduit  physicians  and  family  frienda 
most  familiar  with  his  physical  peculiarities  confess 
their  inability  to  make  a  trustworthy  prognosis  of 
Senator  Morton's  disease,  the  newspapers  must  be 
content  to  do  no  better,  however  anxious  the  reading 
world  may  be  to  hear  definitely  of  his  condition.  To 
deny  that  he  is  a  very  sick  man,  and  that  there  is 
I>eril  in  the  situation,  would  be  to  deny  what  the 
most  hopeful  confess.  To  predict  a  seriotts  ending, 
or  to  doubt  the  possibility  of  a  restoration  to  the  for- 
mer degree  of  health,  would  be  to  go  further  than  the 
most  anxious  have  gone.  It  is  peculiarly  a  disease  of 
mysterious  workings,  and  it  must  be  left  to  time  to 
determine  to  what  extent  it  has  taken  hold  iu  this 
case.  Meanwhile,  leaving  the  Senator  to  the  watch- 
ful care  which  surrounds  him.  it  will  be  of  interest  to 
look  into  the  origin  of  his  late  attack,  and  the  condi- 
tion in  which  it  leaves  him. 

The  Senator's  Immediate  friends  were  not  a  little 
dubious  as  to  the  wisdom  of  his  contemplated  trio  to 
Oregon.  His  labon  of  the  past  Winter  and  Fall, 
commencing  with  the  arduous  Indiana  campaign. 
protracted  through  the  Presidential  canvass,  and 
culminating  in  the  fierce  strife  and  intense 
mental  stnun  of  the  Electoral  contest,  had  made  in- 
roads even  upon  hla  powers  of  endurance,  and  some- 
what Impaired  a  vitality  that  seemed  inexhaustible. 
It  was  thought  that  complete  rest  through  the  Sum- 
mer would  beat  fit  hini  for  renewed  labors,  but  the 
advice  was  iliy  suited  to  the  nature  of  the  man.  One 
might  as  well  bid  the  "nnslumberihgsea  "  be  mo- 
tloulesi  as  to  bid  Senator  Morton  rest  from  work 
while  the  power  of  work  is  still  in  him.  All  the  ac- 
tivity of  wnlch  his  body  has  been  bereft  seems  to 
have  concentrated  in  his  brain,  and  to  be  spurring 
him  on  to  ceaseless  endeavor.  Illness  cannot  reach, 
paralysis  cannot  affect,  the  mighty  powers  of  his  in- 
tell<»ct.  Death  may  come  to  him,  as  it  comes  to  all 
of  us — for  the  greatest  of  wills  must  bow  to  that — 
but  when  it  comes  it  will  find  him  with  harness  on ; 
and  bis  last  blow  and  his  last  thought  will  be  not 
for  himself,  but  for  the  cause  he  has  loved  so  welL 

The  Oregon  trip,  while  arduous  enough  to  hnve  ex- 
hausted a  man  of  perfect  physique,  seemed  to  result 
only  in  the  Senator's  improvement-  He  traveled 
over  8,500  miles.  He  took  full  charge  of  the  Grover 
investigarion  and  examined  more  than  160  witnesses 
— work  which,  while  not  of  a  very  intricate  charac- 
ter, required  close  attention.  Yet,  daily,  as  his  la- 
bors Increased  so  did  his  apparent  health.  He  trav- 
ersed Oregon,  British  Columbia,  Washington  Terri- 
tory, and  a  good  part  of  California.  He  went  every- 
where and  saw  everything,  being  deeply  interested  m 
the  character  of  the  crops,  the  peculiarities  of  the 
soil,  the  mineral  resources,  and  the  growth  of  civili- 
zation. Hia  journey  was,  throughout  its  course,  a 
perfect  ovation.  The  people  received  him  as  one 
whom  they  loved  and  delighted  to  honor  :  and  their 
affectionate  regard  was  met  by  a  corresponding  inter- 
est which  served  to  make  the  trip  one  of  the  pleas- 
antest  in  the  Senajor's  recollection.  "I  never  en- 
joyed myself  more  in  my  life,"  was  his  frequent  re- 
mark, and  the  effect  upon  his  gpuprel  health  may  be 
evidenced  by  the  fact  of  his  walking  five  squares  In 
San  Francisco,  and  of  his  makinic  a  speech  of  some 
length  at  Salem,  standing  while  he  spoke. 

It  is  a  fact,  though  it  may  seem  a  paradox,  that  the 
very  improvement  in  his  health  contributed  to  his 
illness.  It  is  a  peculiarity  of  the  man  that  be  cannot 
be  made  to  pay  due  regard  to  his  body.  The  pride  of 
hla  strength,  the  glory  of  his  power,  are  in  his  mind  ; 
he  seems  to  despise  the  imperfect  frame  that  fetters 
it.  Instead  of  favoring  it.  he  treats  it  often  as  an 
enemy,  taxing  it  overmuch,  and  meeting  the  terrible 
sufferinc  with  which  it  repays  him,  with  a  cold,  quiet 
scorn.  It  is  Impressive  to  note,  when  the  Senator's 
mind  is  In  full  play,  how  the  body  is  baffled,  beaten, 
utterly  foivotten.  So  it  happened  that,  in  the  in- 
creasing vigor  of  his  last  few  days  In  the  West,  he 
taxed  his  physique  overmuch— especially,  perhaps,  in 
the  matter  of  eating.  One  of  the  features  of  his  long 
suffering  has  been  an  extreme  torpidity  of  the  bowels 
— at  once  the  effect  and  the  augnienterof  hift  physical 
infirmity.  Aj?aiu8t  this  trouble  constant  care  Is  neces- 
sary ;  and  or  course,  the  regulation  of  theMiet  forms 
an  important  pari  of  it.  But.  by  nature  a  good  eater, 
he  is  apt,  when  absorbed  by  the  conversation  of  a  gav 
table,  to  eat  what  is  set  before  thim.  without  mucd 
thought  of  what  it  Is.  orwh.it  may  be  its  effect.  Amid 
the  flowing  ho#pita1ity  which  creeted  him  on  his  trip, 
and  especially  toward  the  close  of  it,  he  was  undoubt- 
edly incaatious  in  this  parlicolnr  ;  and  it  is  to  this, 
and  to  the  aggravation  of  his  Imwel  trouble  which  It 
brought  about  that  hi?  late  attack  is  believed  to  be 
owing.  Periiaps  tlie  cnlminatine  mors^V  as-ninst 
whlcn  the  bodv  rebelled,  was  a  ceriain  naiad  of  soft- 
shell  crabs  which  that  prince  of  entertainers,  Ben 
HolUday,  set  ont  noon  the  Senator's  arrival  at  San 
Francisco,  on  Saturday,  the  Ith.  Certain  ft  is,  that 
on  Sunday  he  felt  unusually  oppressed,  had  lees  com- 
mand of  his  limbs  than  usual,  and  notif-ed  a  slight 
numbness  in  his  left  side.  There  was  nothing  in  the 
nature  of  what  was  called  a  "stroke."  The  new 
trouble  came  upon  him  gradually.  Sunday  night  ho 
found  himRelf  unable  to  slfep  ;  tried  to  walk  about 
the  room,  but  found  it  too  fievere  an  exertion  :  finally 
sank  exliauKted  Into  a  brief  slumber,  and  woke,  at  5 
o'clock  on  ^(onday  moming,'to  discover  that(he  had 
no  command  over  his  left  arm.  and  that  his  left  aide 
Bj-mpathized  largely  with  the  parxlysis  of  the  arm. 
There  has  been  no  amelioration  of  these  symptoms 
since  then — the  case,  so  far  as  the  paralytic  features 
go.  has  remained  without  change. 

Immodiatelv  ui>on  discovering  his  condition.  Sena- 
tor Morton  i:isisted  upon  returiiing  home,  Hia  wife 
and  his  B''in  Oliver,  who  were  with  him  on  his  journey, 
sought  to  dissuade  him  from  undertaking  so  long  a 
railway  trip  in  his  precarious  condition,  but  his  de- 
termination was  inflexible.  Still  overriding  the  body, 
and  scorning  its  sefferinKS.  he  was  resolved,  atauy 
cost,  to  return  to  his  home  an4  t<*  more  familiar  eur- 
roundingir  It  is  undoubtedly  well  that  he  did  so, 
for  the  relief  to  his  mind  more  than  compeu*jated  for 
the  strain  upon  hia  body.  Still  the  journey  wa"*  one 
of  intense  suffering  to  himself,  and  of  even  greater 
anxiety  to  those  about  him.  Tlie  private  car  of  the 
Superintendent  of  the  Central  Pacific  was  placed  at 
the  disposal  of  the  party,  and  started  on  it£  long  trip, 
not  uiuikely  to  r^ach  its  destination  as  a  funeral 
cortege.  Gov.  Burbauk  was  telegraphed  for  at  once, 
and  Col.  HoUoway  the  next  day,  and  started  12  hours 
apart  to  meet  the  train  hastening  toward  them.  It  It 
uaelesa  to  dwell  upon  the  painful  features  of  the 
journey.  The  heat  of  the  ride  over  the  plains  ;  the 
constant  jar  and  swaying  of  a  car  flyinst  at  the  rate  of 
40  miles  an  hour  ;  the  helpless,  suffering  man,  prone 
on  his  couch,  growing  weaker  with  every  hour  of  ex- 
hausting travel,  yet  throttling  pain  and  staving 
weakness  with  the  same  quiet  scorn  of  body  ;  the 
wearing  anxiety  and  terrinle  suspense  of  loving 
friends — are  features  of  a  picture  not  without  its 
grandeur,  but  upon  whidi  the  mind  loves  not  to 
dweU. 

A  final  stup  was  made  at  the  home  of  Gov.  Bur- 
bank,  in  Richmond ,  the  Senator's  house  in  Indianap- 
olis having  been  given  op.  He  reached  there  greatly 
exhausted^  but  much  better  than  his  friends  had 
dared  to  hope,  and  was  at  once  surrounded  with 
everything  that  could  contribute  to  hia  comfort  and 
well-being.  To  understand  the  prospect  of  his  recov- 
ery it  is  necessary  to  understand  the  man.  He  fs  en- 
titled, by  descent,  to  paralytic  troubles.  His  father' 
and  hisuncle  died  of  paralysis  ;  an  aunt  is  lying  ill  with 
it  now,  and  a  brother  has  been  more  or  less  affected. 
The  loss  of  power  in  his  lower  limbs  lie  has  attribut- 
ed to  thlK  hereditary  tendency,  and  it  has  been  hoped 
that  the  inheritance  would  end  there — that  the  dis- 
ease would  make  no  further  progress.  There  cer- 
tainly iias  never  been  any  evidence  of  its  gaining 
upon  the  system.  The  vital  centres  have  never  ex- 
hibited the  least  disturbance,  and  the  bi-ain  has  not 
onlyretalned  to  the  full  all  its  intellectual  powers, 
but  has  Increased  and  extended  them  wonderfully, 
exhibiting  all  the  evidences  of  absolute  and  perfect 
health.  It  is  the  belief  of  the  pfayslciaus  who  have 
paid  closest  attention  to  his  casetnat  his  local  infirmity 
would  have  remained  loi^'al,  and  that  there  was  no 
reason  why  his  life  should  not  be  as  long,  and,  in  all 
other  respects,  as  full  of  health  as  any  one's,  save 
for  the  torpidity  of  his  bowels  whicli  grew  out  of  the 
want  of  exercise  entailed  by  the  loss  of  his  lower 
limbs.  To  this  secondary  trouble,  and  not  to  any 
extension  of  Hs  former  affliction,  they  believe  the 
late  attack  is  owing.  To  the  correction  of  this  ten- 
dency present  treatment  is  wholly  directed,  and  with 
a  moderate  degree  of  success,  tho  main  drawback 
being  that  the  purgatives  and  injections  tend  greatly 
to  weaken  the  patient.  From  his  appearance,  how- 
ever, one  is  led  to  expect  speedy  recoverj'.  He  sits 
most  of  the  day  in  his  reclining  chair,  with  his  mind 
as  bright  as  ever,  and  with  his  interest  in  affairs  tm- 
abated.  BUs  voice  is  strong  and  chf»ery,  his  eyes  as 
bri^t  as  ever,  and  his  smile  unmarked  by  pain.  He 
reads  the  papers,  ^as  his  letters  read  to  him,  and 
converses  as  much  as  those  in  charge  of  him  will 
permit.  The  difficulty,  indeed,  is  to  restrain  him 
n:om  too  much  mental  activity.  He  haa  lost  no 
flesh  since  the  attack  set  in,  and  his  face  ia  of 
good,  healthy  color.  "While  his  left  arm  is 
wholly  powerless  and  the  left  side  partially 
so.  the  circulation  is  not  in  the  least  impaired.  The 
piilse  of  the'  left  wrist  is  as  regular  as  that  of  the 
right,  and  the  hand  as  moist  and  warm  as  in  perfect 
health.  Nor  are  the  nerves  of  sensation  wholly  in 
abovance.  He  complained  yesterday  afternoon  to 
his  wife,  who  was  gentlv  rubbing  the  arm  and  side, 
that  both  were  sore  to  toe  touch.  He  appeared  laat 
night  to  have  gained  materially  in  strength,  and  his 
lower  limbs  responded  freely  to  an  exertion  of  the 
wilL 

The  Senator  seems  greatly  averse  that  the  house- 
hold shotild  take  upon  itseu  any  air  of  solemnity, 
and  aside  from  the  odor  of  camphor  wliich  pervades 
the  lower  rooms,  it  has  nothing  of  the  air  of  sickness. 
Koise  does  not  appear  to  trouble  him,  and  the  diil- 
dren  are  encouraged  to  their  usual  gayety.  His  wife 
and  two  sons  are  present,  one  of  the  latter  attending 
to  the  mass  of  telef^rams  and  correspondence  which 
an  anxious  nation  is  pouring  in  from  all  sides,  and 
the  front  parlor  is  lively  with  the  conversation  of 
constant  callers,  all  of  whom,  however,  with  rare  ex- 
ceptions, are  excluded  from  the  back  room  where  ttie 
Senator  is  sitting.  Such  was  the  scene  this  evening 
when  Dr.  Bliss  arrived  from  Washington.  His  arriviU 
had  been  anxiously  awaited  by  the  family  and  friends, 
great  confidence  being  placed  in  hie  opinion,  not  only 
from  his  well-merited  reputation  for  skill  in  nervous 
diseases,  but  from  his  long  familiarity  with  the  Sen- 
ator's cajse-  He  pasi^d  at  once  to  an  examination  of 
tlie  patient,  together  with  Dr-  Thompson,  the  Sen- 
ator's family  physician,  who  has  been  in  attendance 
from  the  first.  After  a  half  hour  with  the  sick  man, 
the  two  physicians  ascended  to  au  up-stairs  room  for 
anotlier  hjdf  hoar  of  consultation  ;  and  not  onlv  was 
there  conaolation  in  the  words  of  Dr.  Bl^^  when  he 
descended,  but  his  whole  air  was  that  of  a  man 
greatly  relieved  and  comforted.  He  expressed  liia 
couviction  that  the  new  trouble  arose  wholly  from 
the  increased  torpidity  of  the  bowels,  and  that  the 
latter  would  readuy  yield  to  careful  treatment,  and 
brinit  complete  and  early  recovery.  It  is  impossible 
to  convey  an  idea  of  the  effect  of  the  tnnouncement 
upon  the  household.  It  was  as  if  a  burst  of  sun- 
shine had  Ut  uo  a  darkened  xoom.    The  Senator  re- 


tAvtd  ibe  annnnee  with  his  nsnal  pUddity,  but  tii* 
fami^  with  a  joy  that  oomes  like  a  heavenly  balm 
after  long  days  of  terrible  suspense. 

If  these  details  appear  minute,  and  the  description 
discursive,  the  anxiety  of  the  country  for  fuller  in- 
fc»rmation  as  to  the  Senator's  condition  seems  to 
justify  them.  Kotbing  but  such  an  occasloft  as  ihia 
could  bring  so  vividly  to  mind  the  grand  part  which 
Senator  Morton  has  played  in  the  affairs  ckf  the  na- 
tion, or  show  so  clearly  the  vast  number  of  our  peo- 
ple who  look  up  to  him  for  counsel  and  advice. 
"Who,  in  God's  name,  shall  we  tie  to,  in  these 
times,"  aald  a  distinguished  Indianiau  yesrterday,  "if 
he  is  to  be  taken  from  ust"  Tho  countless  dis- 
patches whieh  litter  his  table,  bringing  anxlouB  in- 
quires from  the  best  and  foremost  of  all  l^e  land, 
bespeak  the  same  feeling;  And  while  an  anxious 
people  an  listening  eagerly  for  news  from  him,  it 
wotud  thrill  their  hearts  wiui  a  glow  of  admiration 
could  they  see.  for  a  moment,  how  the  ^rand  mind  of 
the  Senator  rises  superior  to  his  bodily  in- 
firmities. Col.  Hollo  way  remayked  last  even- 
ing that  in  all  his  acouaintance  with 
the  Sen  ator  he  hod  never  once  heard  liim  express  regret 
over  his  infirmities — ^had  never  ojice  heard  him  wish 
that  he  was  a  well  man.  "  If  Ida  mind  does  its  duty," 
said  he,  "he  seems  perfectly  content — and  it  has 
never  failed  him  yet.  Only  last  night,  with  half 
of  his  body  lying  inert,  and  with  pain  racking  his 
largebut  weakened  frame,  his  thoughts  and  his  talk 
were  busy  with  his  scheme  for  amending  the  Consti- 
tution in  the  matter  of  choosing  a  President,  and  re- 
lieving the  coimtty  in  the  future  from  theaeadly 
peril  throush  which  It  has  so  lately  passed.  Never 
before  in  the  history  of  great  men  here,  if  anywhere, 
was  the  power  of  the  intellect,  risintr  supreme  over 
the  infirmities  of  the  flesh,  so  ^andly  eioiibited.  It 
is  a  theme  on  which  an  epic  might  be  written ;  and 
an  affectionate  and  adzoiring  people  will  breathe 
ceaseless  prayers  for  the  restoration  to  health  and 
usefulness  of  one,  who,  in  spite  of  racking  pains  and 
bodily  infirmity,  has  labored  so  long  and  so  well  in 
his  country's  cause. 

JUDGE  WESTS  SPEECH, 


HIS    VIEWS     ON     CAPITAL,     CURBENCT,     AKD 
LABOR — HOW     THEY    ABE    EECEIVED     BY 
THE  EEPUBLICAN  PRESS  OF  OHIO. 
From  the  Cleveland  Herald. 

No  one  who  reads  the  speech  but  must  give  credit 
to  Judge  West  for  independence  of  views,  ability  to 
state  those  views  clearly  and  distinctly,  and  boldness 
to  utter  them  without  regard  to  the  effect  upon  his 
prospects  of  election.  As  zuisht  have  been  expected, 
the  first  place  is  given  in  the  speech  to  the  labor 
question,  oil  previouB  utterance  on  that  subject 
having  attracted  general  attention  and  provoked 
much  discuaslon.  He  firmly  maintains  the  views 
previously  annotmced,  insisting  that  they  are  based 
upon  careful  study  of  principles  end  recor  d  of  facts. 
iTie  greater  part  of  the  remainder  of  the  speech  is 
devoted  to  financial  topics.  The  position  he  occupies 
Is  that  of  opposition  to  forced  innarion  or  forced  con- 
traction of  the  existing  volume  of  currency.  In  con- 
clusion Judge  West  warmly  eulogizes  the  President 
and  urges  that  a  fair  and  honest  trial  be  accorded  his 
experimental  policy  toward  the  South. 
Fr^m  the  Cletetaitd  Leader. 

He  shows  in  a  very  few  words  the  fallacy  of 
the  talk  of  a  double  standard  and  the  necessity  of  a 
unit  of  value  to  which  the  coinage  of  both  gold  and 
silver  should  correspond,  in  order  that  both  may  be 
kept  in  circulation  and  both  help  toward  resumption. 
Judge  West  sums  up  the  whole  ease  when  he  says 
that  what  is  demuided  by  the  Interests  and  wants  of 
the  coimtry  is  not  more  money,  not  a  greater  volume 
of  currency,  bnt  more  activity  in  the  employment  of 
that  we  already  have.  In  these  days,  when  every 
crossroads  lawyer  and  stomp  speaker  in  the 
country  thinks  himself  possessed  of  all  the  wisdom 
that  is  extant  on  the  relations  of  the  metids  and  the 
legislation  that  isiieeded.  it  is  hardly  likely  that 
the  views  of  Judge  West  will  meet  with  universal  ap- 

froval,  but  they  are  so  candidly  and  clearly  put 
orth,  and  they  embody  so  much  that  is  Incontro- 
vertlbly  true,  that  they  will  receive  the  thonghful 
consideration  of  all  men  who  really  desire  the  main- 
tenance of  the  pledged  honor  of  the  Government  and 
a  return  to  that  condition  of  the  currency  in  which 
every  dollar  will  be  really  a  dollar,  interchangeable 
without  loss  with  every  otner  dollar,  without  regard 
to  form  or  the  material  of  wliich  it  is  made. 
JFrom  the  Cincinnati  Gazette. 

Judge  West's  speech  was  addressed  to  his  neigh- 
bors, and  l>egan  with  a  graceful  expression  of  neigh- 
borly feeling.  Then  ho  launched  at  once  into  the  la- 
bor question.  In  his  ideas  on  this  subject  there  is 
no  communistic  theory,  nor  impracticable  project  of 
government  supervision  ;  but  there  is  a  thouglitful 
humanity,  showing  hearty  sympathy  with  the  work- 
men, and  due  respect  for  the  lecal  richts  of  capital. 
Like  many  who  have  thought  on  the  subject,  be  has 
large  Lopes  of  co-operalion  between  workmen  and 
employers,  the  workmen  sharing  with  the  employer 
In  the  profits  of  their  own  energy  and  sliili.  The 
question  what  constitutes  capital  and  how  its  share 
is  to  be  found,  in  the'  cas«  of  railroads,  may  be  too 
complicated  to  make  co-operation  priicticable,  but  in 
various  trades  many  employers  have  tried  it,  and 
many  thoughtful  minds  have  looked  to  this  as  ruu- 
taining  the  greatest  promise  to  lift  up  the  cljaracter 
of  workinen.  In  coal  mining  in  Pennsylvania  there 
has  long  been  a  system  of  a  slidine  scale  of  mining 
waRes  according  to  the  market  prices  of  coal.  Tliis  is 
co-operation  in  a  degree,  and  we  should  suppose  coal- 
mining to  be  a  pr<tctical  field  for  co-operation.  Wo 
have  an  Idea  that  workinc  men  will  see  in  Judge 
West's  remarks  on  the  labor  qneRtion  a  thoughtful 
mind  and  broad  sympathy,  and  that  no  class  will  find 
anything  objectionable  in  them. 

Frora  the  Col\nnbu$  Stute  Journal. 

We  find  little  to  dissent  from  In  the  flnanolal  views 
of  Judge  West.  A  double  coin  standard  can  be  main- 
tained only  by  making  the  coins  equal  in  value  and 
interconvertible.  In  our  opinion  this  can  be  dono 
only  by  controlling  the  amount  of  silver  coinage.  If 
the  capacity  of  the  mints  Is  of  such  limit  as  to  pre- 
vent over-coinage  we  need  not  worry.  If  the  ca- 
pacity of  the  mints  may  be  increased  so  as  to  deluire 
the  country  with  an  excess  other  limitation  should 
be  provided.  With  Judge  West's  dear  conception  of 
the  element  of  value  in  this  adjustment,  we  do  not 
see  how  he  can  hold  that  the  contract  of  the  Gov- 
ernment with  the  pnblic  creditor  was  for 
a  certain  bulk  of  gold  or  silver,  lea\Tng 
the  option  with  the  Government  to  pay  the  debt  with 
a  specified  number  of  pounds  of  the  metal  which  hap- 
pens to  be  cheapest  when  the  debt  falls  due.  The 
contract  was  to  pay  a  specific  value,  to  be  measured 
by  the  doUar  accepted  as  standard  coin  of  that  value. 
It  is  a  Uttlo  rash  to  take  Issue  with  a  lawver  so  emi- 
nent as  Jndge  West  on  a  point  9t  law  :  6ut  we  can- 
not bellere  that  a  cotirt  of  equity  would  enforce  a 
contract  for  a  valuable  consideration  on  one  side  to 
be  paid  in  a  commodity  which  may  have  lost  its 
value  utterly,  and  may  have  disappeared  from  the 
market  as  an  article  of  commerce,  pending  the  exe- 
cution of  the  contract.  The  indorsement  of  the 
President  is  personal  rather  than  administrative.  It 
is  not  as  complete  as  we  could  wish  ^  as  to  the  policy 
of  the  Administration. 


coxcERyiyo  toombs. 

A  correBpondent  of  the  Colnmbns  (Ga.)  En- 
quirer, writing  about  members  of  the  Constitutional 
Convention,  says:  "Gen.  Toombs  is,  of  course,  the 
favorite  of  the  galleries,  and  there  Is  a  laugh  at 
every  repartee  of  his  whether  it  is  heard  or  not. 
The  people  know  that  when  he  cuts  at  au  opponent 
he  is  pretty  apt  to  preak  the  skin,  and  they  will  not 
be  cheated  out  of  their  laugh  because  they  miss  a 
few  syllables.  But  Mr.  Toombs  seems  indifferent  to 
this  lionizing,  as,  indeed,  ho  appears  to  all  things 
else.  Geti.  Toombs  has  not  been  so  violent  as  many 
predicted,  but  his  influence  in  the  convention  is  not 
80  great  aa  we  would  expect.  His  speeches  there  are 
heard,  like  all  his  poet  b^Uum  efforts,  more  for  eusi- 
osity  than  any  deeper  interest  iu  them.  There  Is  a 
plain  tendency  to  be  somewhat  overbearing  in  his 
actions  in  the  meetings  of  the  Revision  Oommitteef 
and  it  is  a  queer  spectacle  to  see  him  preside. 
He  usually  votes  as  loud  as  anybody  else 
and  gets  so  impatient  that  he  speaks  to  the  clerk  in 
language  more  fervid  than  eloquent,  and  orders  him 
to  'reul  on.'  Once  in  a  while  he  snubs  some  young 
man  in  the  convention  debates,  but  he  caught  a  Tar- 
tar when  he  challenged  the  vote  of  Mr.  Matthews  in 
the  committee  room  on  a  railroad  question  because 
he  was  a  stockholder  in  some  such  corporation.  The 
most  brilliant  things  he  has  said  since  he  came  hero 
have  been  out&ide  the  convention.  In  that  body  he 
has  not  made  a  remarkable  speech,  with,  perhaps,  a 
single  exception.  It  is  a  ^%at,  however,  to  get  him 
at  a  hotel  at  night,  after  an  interview  with  "a  dozen 
cocktftils,  and  hear  him,  rattle  away  as  if  he  were 
talking  against  time.  Such  brilliant  flashes  of  wit, 
such  rare  and  original  figures,  such  an  abounding 
stock  of  anecdote  and  humor  make  the  man  strangely 
attractive.  There  Is  a  merry  twinkle  iu  his  eve 
which  speaks  of  a  good,  big  heart,  and  I  am  glad  to 
feel  that  he  wears  oil  his  bad  qualities  outside  where 
the  worid  sees  theni,  and  that  In  his  true  self  there 
is  much  to  challenge  the  admiration,  though  it  es- 
capes the  view  of  those  who  do  not  reaSy  know 
the  man.  He  is  decidedly  the  figure  of  the  conven- 
tion, and  his  presence  there  inspires  a  sentiment  both 
of  pride  and  sorrow.  It  Is  not  too  much  even  for  the 
whole  State  to  be  proud  of  such  a  man  as  he  was 
once,  and  there  are  few  more  pathetic  thoughts  than 
that  which  comes  in  spite  of  present  admiration  to 
tell  us  that  his  glory  has  faded,  and  that  the  volume 
df  his  greatness  is  dosed  forever ;  yet  ha  is  like 
Samson,  blind  and  shorn  of  his  strengUi ,  and  I  pre- 
fer him  to  the  hosts  of  gibbering  Philistines,  who 
have  commenced  to  ridicule  him  only  since  they 
ceased  to  fear. "

A  MARRIAGE  BROVOBT  XY  QVESTIOy. 

Judge  Larremore,  in  Chambers  of  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas,  yesterday  confirmed  the  report  of 
the  Referee  In  the  remarkable  suit  of  Henry  Devoe 
against  Elizabeth  Devoe.  The  action  was  brousht  to 
annul  a  marriage  between  the  parties  on  the  ground 
that  the  defendant  had  a  husband  named  Flynn  liv- 
ini;  at  the  time  when  she  married  the  plaintiff.  The 
defendant  answered,  denying  the  charge,  and  the  suit 
was  referred  to  John  M.  Barbour,  who  proceeded  to 
try  the  case.  The  plaintiff,  in  support  of  his  asser- 
tions, produced  as  a  witness  the  Assistant  Pastor  of 
St-  Georges  Church,  whoj»id  he  had  performed  a 
marriage  ceremony  in  1871  between  a  man  named 
Thomas  Flvnn  and  one  Elizabeth  Dentith.  the  latter 
being  the  defendant's  maiden  name-  He  was,  how- 
ever, unable  to  identify  the  defendant,  his  recollec- 
tion of  faces  being  bad.  The  plaintiff  and  defenduit 
were  married  in  1875.  A  man  named  Lawrence 
swore  that  he  was  present  at  the  time  the  defendant 
was  married  to  Fl>'nn.  He  identified  the  defendant. 
A  copy  of  the  marriage  certificate  was  offered  in  evi. 
dence,  but  was  ruled  out  because  not  properly 
proved.  FljTin's  mother,  when  called  as  a  witness, 
testified  that  the  defendant  had  told  her  that

The  defendant  at  the  time  brough.t  with  her  a  cuild. 
about  a  month  old.  which  she  said  was  Fh-nn's.  A 
Mrs.  Kelly  testified  that  Flymi  and  the  defendani 
had  lived  m  her  house  as  lORn  and  wife-  Another 
witness  testified  to  the  chriatenine  of  tlie  dt- fcudant 
and  Flyan's  cliild  iu  a  Roman  Catholic  Church  in 
Fourteenth-street.  FJynn.  when  called  on  as  a  wit- 
ness, testified  that  he  was  the  husband  of  the  de- 
fendant. Col.  George  H.  Hart,  the  defendant's  coun- 
sel, purposely  kept  the  defendant  out  of  court  and 
cross-examined  Flynn  as  to  the  physical  pecxjiarities 
of  the  defehdant,  and  Flynn  failed  to  make  proper 
responses.  His  testimony  was  flnallv  entirely  ex- 
cluded. The  defendant  produced  onfy  one  witness, 
who  testified  that  st  the  time  of  the  defendant's  al- 
leged marriage  the  latter  was  not  living  with  Flynn. 
as  had  been  stated,  but  with  her  mother.  The  trial 
lasted  over  a  vf  ar,  and  the  Referee  finally  fonnd  in 
favor  of  the  defendant.  Judge  Larremore  confirmed

HOW  JUSTICE  DUFFY  "BEAT"  THE  BE- 
POBTERS— WAinXO  FOE  AK  IMP0KTA25T 
FOKGEBT  CASE. 

Justice  Duffy,  presiding  at  the  Tombs  Police 
Court,  played  a  practical  joke  on  the  reporters 
yesterday.  The  morning  calendar  was  very 
light,  and  no  case  of  importance  came  be- 
fore the  court.  After  the  court  had  been 
adjourned  for  the  morning,  the  magistrate, 
his  countenance  bearing  a  grave  and  solemn  expres- 
sion, arose  from  his  chair,  and  with  measured  tread 
approached  the  desk  occupied  by  the  reporters.  The 
latter,  noticing  that  the  usually  smiling  countenance 
of  the  Justice  was  now  rather  grave  and  looked  as 
if  it  bespoke  great  anxiety  on  hia  part,  whispered 
amoDgthemselvesthat  there  was  something  "In  the 
wind."  Justice  Duffy  never  stands  on  ceremony, 
however.  He  abruptly  broke  forth,  addressing 
himself  in  loud  tones  to  one  of  the  re- 
porters as  follows :  "  Tompkins,  you  haven't 
got  that  forgery  cose.  have  you  T"  The 
mere  mention  of  a  forgery  case  is  enough  to 
arotise  the  moat  sleepy  reporter.  One  who  was 
taking  a  comfortable  nap  jumped  to  his  feet  and 
assumed  a  highly  classical  pose.  He  had  a  pencil  in 
one  hand  and  a  huge  note-nook,  which  looked  like  a 
family  Bible,  in  the  other.  He  looked  arotmd  in 
mute  astonishment,  wondering  what  was  the  cause 
of  aU  the  fuss.  After  making  a  reconnoissance  in 
close  proximity  to  the  Justice,  he  asked  the  latter 
gentleman  for  a  tooth-pick.  The  court  was  not  pos- 
sessed of  the  required  article,  but  wishing  to  obli^ 
the  worthy  scribe  asked  the  latter  ^ntleman 
if  the  gavel,  which  lay  on  the  desk, 
would  not  answer  the  required  purpose. 
Another  reporter,  who  was  all  this  time  getting  very 
impatient,  gave  expression  to  his  sentiments  by  sav- 
ing, "  Well,  to  business  Judge.  What's  the  complaint, 
anyhow ;  it  is  strange  that  "if  it  came  up  here  this 
morning  I  shouldn't  know  anj-thing  about  it ;  I  have 
been  here  all  morning-''  The  Justice,  in  an  off-hand 
manner,  laf:onically  replied,  ••  Ob.  it's  a  big  forgerv 
c;i5e,  the  afiSdavits  are  about  a  mile  and  a  half  long.'' 
Tompkins,  hearing  this,  pricked  up  his  ears,  and.  un- 
loddng  his  desk  to  ^et  his  manifold  paper,  found  it 
empty.  With  affida%its  a  mile  and  a  half  long  star- 
ring him  in  the  face,  he  had  not  one  sheet  of  mani- 
fold paper.  What  was  he  to  do  f  ^"hat  thoughts 
flashed  across  his  mind  as  he  mm tered  to  himself 
that  somebody  was  going  to  have  a  "beat  "  on  him  I 
The  Justice  remarked  that  he  could  not  permit  the 
affida-dts  to  be  seen  just  then,  but  that  he  would 
willingly  give  the  essential  facts  of  the  case  to  the 
public. 

ilr.  Tompkins  now  EOt  on  his  feet  and  asked  tlie 
mag'strate  if  he  would  please  not  state  the  case  uniil 
his  return,  saying  that  as  it  seemed  to  be  important 
and  interesting  he  would  probably  use  up  neven  or 
eight  manifold  books.  Justice  Duffv  complied,  and 
Tompkins  itffshed  out.  taking  with  him  the  Justice's 
hat  in  mistake,  and  soon  returned,  bringing  five  or 
s=x  dozen  manifold  books.  He  was  now  fnlly 
equipped,  bnt  everj-tblng  and  everybody  seemed  to 
be  in  a  state  of  confusion  and  excitement-  A  report- 
er, in  trying  to  jKt  near  the  macristrRte,  stumbled 
over  a  match  which  some  thoughtless  person  had 
carelessly  dropped,  and  by  this  means  cojiided  with 
the  cms  of  a  brother  reporter.  The  .^stice  evi- 
dently thinking  that  **  patience  sometimescea&es  to 
be  a  fc-irtue,"  aiiked  if  all  were  ready.  Simpldns  says 
to  Tompkins.  "  Gi'me  room :  gi  ine  room  J "'  The 
latter  complied,  and  now  all  were  ready,  with 
]H»ucilS  in  hand.  Justice  Duffy  then  went  on  to  say  : 
**  It  seems  that  a  certain  speculator,  whose  name  "at 
present  I  cannot  give  you,  had  had  a  conti-act  for 
preventing  the  gra-ss'ioppers  from  trespassing  on  the 
railroad  tracks  ont  West,  in  the  State  of  Indiana  I 
btlieve.  He  failed  to  perform  his  contract,  and  is 
now  reqrdred  to  furnish  bail  in  $50.O<i0  to  keep  tlio 
peHce  for  six  months.  There  is  a  law  in  that  ^tate 
which  snys  thr.t  there  shall  be  no  blacksmith  shop 
within  three  miles  of  the  railroad  track  :  this  man 
set  up  a  forge  convenient  to  the  track,  and  by  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  Indiana  1''  cuilty  of  forge-rv." 

The  reporters  were  *'  beat  '  this  time,  but  they  all 
I  swore  vengeance  on  the  Ju.srice.  -• 


BREACH  OF  PROMISE  AKD  COXIEMFT. 

The  suit  for  breach  of  promise  of  marriage 
brought  by  Bertha  Banquet,  through  a  guardian, 
against  Adolphe  Lissncr,  was  on  trial  before  Judge 
Sinnott,  in  the  Marine  Court  yesterday.  The  plain- 
tiff is  about  19  years  of  age  and  the  defendant  is 
nearly  20  years  her  senior.  She  made  his  acquaint- 
ance in  the  Bowery  Garden  in  November  last.  Two 
evenings  after  their  acquaintancoshlp  began  he  took 
her  to  a  theatre,  and  on  their  way  from  it  ho  accom- 
plished her  ruin.  She  says  he  promised 
to  marry  her,  but  he  averred  that  he 
had  made  no  such  promise.  He  is  a  married 
man,  and  his  wife  was  in  court  during  the  proceed- 
ings yesterday.  The  defendant's  cotmsel  raised  the 
point  that  under  a  recent  decision  of  the  Court  of 
Appeals,  the  defendant,  being  a  married  man,  could 
not  be  held  in  damages.  Judge  Sinnott  reserved  lua 
decision,  saying,  however,  that  if  there  was  any  law 
to  punish  the  defendant  for  his  seducrion  of  the 
plaintiff,  he  would  see  that  it  was  enforced.  The 
defendant's  counsel  asked  whether  in  such  event  the 
Ja<^  would  send  the  case  to  a  jury  to  fix  the 
damages.  Judge  Sinnott  said  that  would  de- 
pend ou  whether  he  thought  a  jury  would  be 
more  likely  to  giveheavier  damages  against  the  defend- 
ant. The  proceedings  for  Contempt  against  Police 
Capt.  Foley  and  Officer  Michael  Johnson,  of  the 
Tenth  Precinct,  which  grew  out  of  this  case,  were 
also  before  Judge  Sinnott.  It?  seems  that  Dep- 
uty Sheriff  Finn  was  given  an  order  of  arrest  to  exe- 
cnte  against  the  defendant.  Finn  claims  his  efforts 
to  canture  the  defendant  were  resisted  by  the  Police 
othciale  and  Judfre  Sinnott  therefore  issued  an  order 
reqtiiring  Capt.  Foley  and  Officer  Johnson  to  show 
catise  yesteroay  why  they  should  not  be  punished  for 
contempt  of  court.  Owing  to  the  absence  of  counsel 
tho  matter  was  adjourned  to  Thursday  next. 


BREAKIKG  UP  DISORI>ERLT  BOUSES. 

Capt.  Williams,  of  the  Twenty-ninth  Precinct, 
on  Friday  night  made  raids  upon  the  disorderiy 
houses  kept  by  Anna  Smith,  in  West  Twenty -seventh- 
street  :  Eva  Bliss,  of  the  same  street,  and  Hattie 
Edgerly,  in  West  Thirty-second-street.  The  proprie- 
tors of  the  two  first'uamed  establishments  were  held 
for  trial  in  $1,000  bail  each,  and  the  men  and  women 
found  in  the  houses  were  discharged.  In  the  case  of 
Hattie  Ed^erly,  the  complaint  was  made  by  Jacob 
Tiero,  of  Xo.  446  West  Thirty-first-street,  who  al- 
leged that  his  two  daughters  had  been  enticed  into 
the  house,  and  had  been  there  induced  to  enter  upon 
a  life  of  shame.  He  went  there  on  Friday  night  to 
get  the  clothing  which  his  unfortunate  daughters  had 
left  in  the  house,  when  Mrs.  Edgerlv  as- 
saulted him  and  sx>at  in  his  face.  Justice 
Wandell  at  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court,  fined  her 
$10  and  committed  her  to  Blackwell's  Island  for 
three  months.  The  inmates  of  the  house  were  also 
fined  $10  each.  James  Jackson,  a  nezro,  who  sev- 
eral' years  ago  murdered  his  white  paramour  and 
then  attempted  suicide  by  cutting  his  tiiroat,  unce 
his  return  from  Sing  Sing  opened  a  low  resort  for 
colored  thieves  and  prostitutes  in  Thompson-street, 
which  grew  to  be  such  a  nuisance  that  Capt.  Mc- 
Donnell, of  the  Eighth  Precinct,  made  a  raid  on  the 
place  ou  Friday  night,  and  arrested  Jackson.  Justice 
\yandell  committed  him  for  trial  in  default  of 
$500  boil.  Capt.  McDonnell  also  raided  on  the 
disorderly  estabUshment  of  Sidney  Miller,  in  Thomp- 
son-street, where  he  arrested  seven  black  women, 
two  white  woman,  and  a  negro,  who  were  carousing 
in  the  place.  Thev  were  fined  $10  each  and  sen- 
tenced to  two  months  imprisonment  eadi  on  Black- 
well's  Island.

Cot  Holliday,  the  Democratic  candidate  for 
Governor  of  Virgiria,  was  serenaded  by  his  neigh- 
bors upon  his  i-etum  home  to  Winchester,  and,  in  re: 
^ponding,  said  :  **  When  I  look  back  over  the  long 
line  of  illustrious  men.  beginning  with  Patrick 
Henry  and  Thomas  Jefferson,  whom,  if  elected,  I 
will  succeed;  when  I  think  of  the  transcendant 
tuemorie^  of  my  State,  known  wherever  the  English 
language  is  spoken  or  read,  and  rivaling  that  of  any 
nation  that  lives  in  history ;  when  I  recall  the  sto- 
ries of  her  triumphs  when  i>cace  reigned,  and  of  her 
victories  on  the  field  of  arms  ;  when  I  think  of  her  in 
the  days  of  her  prosperity,  when  refinement  and  pu- 
rity prevailed  in  all  her  borders  and  the  taint  of 
disbonor  came  not  nigh  '  her  escutcheon,  and 
reflect  that  it  falls  to  my  lot  now,  in 
this  hour  of  trial,  to  speak'  and  act  in  her 
name  and  behalf,  and  uphold  her  ancient  standard — 
I  forget  all  personal  considerations,  and.self  is  swal- 
lowed up  in  the  sen.se  of  ;vai;t  responsibiiity.  I  pray 
that,  should  the  people  confirm  the  action  of  the 
"convention,  and  I  pur  on^he  robes  of  ofiBce.  self  mav 
never  more  appear  until^hey  are  laid  aside.  If  you 
are  gratified  at  my  elevaliou,  I  cannot  express  to  you 
my  gmtification  at  your  choice.  Here  1  was  bom 
and  reared,  here  all  mv  life  has  been  spent,  and  here 
I  hope  to  be  buried-  "i  ou  know  me  better  than  all 
the  world  beside,  and  you  took  me  with  wonderful 
unanimity  and  presented  me  to  the  people  of 
the  State  as  your  choice  for  Governor.  If  it  is  an 
honor  to  be  chosen  bv  one  of  the  grandest  conven- 
tions that  ever  assembled.  I  regard,  it  aa  no  less  an 
honor  to  be  presented  for  that  choice  by  such  a  poo-

BOW  A  STATEX  ISLAXD  JUSTICE  ACTS. 
There  was  quite  an  exciting  scene  in  Justice 
Kimes  court-room  at  Clifton  yesterday.  Mr.  George 
M..  Roots  the  owner-of  a  small  dwelling  on  Simonson- 
nvenue,  brought  an  action  against  Mrs.  De  Kalb,  a 
tenant  of  one  of  his  furnished  cottages,  to  dispossess 
her  for  non-payment  of  rent.  Mrs.  De  £alb  was 
represented  by  Counselors  William  M.  Mullen  and 
W.  H.  Homfager,  whQe  Mr.  Root  appeared  in  hia 
own  behalf.  From  the  evidence  adduced  it  appeared 
that  Sirs.  De  Kalb  paid  $50  rent  for  the  first  month, 
and  $25  in  part  payment  for  the  second  month,  but 
refused  to  pay  the  balance  of  $25,  in  consequence  of 
their  being  no  water  ou  the  premises,  which  neces- 
sitated her  to  pay  50  cents  a  day  to  have  water  car- 
ried for  use  in  the  house.  The  case,  which  was  be- 
fore a  jttry,  had  made  some  progress,  when  Jnstice 
Kane,  believing  that  the  difficulty  could  be 
amicably  arranged,  made  a  suggestion  to  that  effect. 
Coimselor  Mullen  took  umbrage  at  this  and  indulged 
in  considerable  free  talk,  for  which  the  Jnstice  com- 
mitted him  for  contempt  of  court,  and  ho  was  ar- 
rested by  Officer  Fitzpatrick.  Counselor  Homfager 
and  the  Justice  then  indulged  in  a  war  of  words, 
which  was  ended  by  the  Justice  leaving:  the  bench 
and  sho\'ing  Hornfaj;er  violently  against  the  walL 
By  this  time  the  court-room  was  in  an  uproar, 
and  Mrs.  De  Kalb  left  precipitately.  Root, 
apparently  afraid  that  matters  might  end  se- 
riously, withdrew  his  complaint,  and.  the  court  ad- 
journed. During  the  progress  of  the  case  'Mx.  Root 
asked  Counselor  Mullen  why  he  defended  "  an  adven- 
turess." This  incensed  Mi«.  De  Kalb,  and  she  ex- 
Sressed  her  determination  to  commence  suit  against 
Lullen  for  slander. 


A  WOMAX  TBROWX  FROM  A  WIXDOW. 
Ann  Kenny,  a  servant,  residing  at  Xo.  469 
Sixth-avenue,  was  orraigned  before  Justice  Wandell, 
at  the  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court  yesterday  morn- 
ing, charged  with  having  attempted  to  take  the  life 
of  Delia  Fox,  aged  26,  a  resident  of  the  same 
premises,  by  throwing  her  out  of  a  second- 
story  window.  The  complainant  was  Patrol- 
man McCool,  of  the  Twenty-ninth  Precinct. 
The  officer  made  affidavit  that  he  had  been  informed 
by  Delia  Fox  that,  during  a  quarrel  with  Ann  Ken- 
ny, between  12  and  1  o'clock  yesterday  morning, 
the  latter  pushed  her  out  of  a'  window,  and  she 
struck  on  the  roof  of  an  extension  below,  receivlug 
injuries  which  necessitated  her  removal  to  the  hos- 
pital. Ann  denied  the  charge,  and  told  the  nuuds- 
trate  that  Delia  was  intoxicated  and  accidentally  fell 
out  of  the  window.  In  the  absence  of  any  ftirVier 
testimony  Justice  Wandell  committed  her  to  await 
the  result  of  Delia's  injuries.  During  the  afternoon 
a  certificate  was  received  from  the  surgeon  in  at- 
tendance upon  the  injured  woman  staring  that  her 
injuries  were  not  serious.  The  magistrate  thereupon 
atunitted  tlie  accused  to  bail  in  the  sum  of  $500.

To  the  diamagnetic  properties  of  condensed 
hydrogen,  M.  Blondlot  attritmtes  the  fact  that  pa31a- 
dium  charged  with  hydrogen  is  less  magnetic  than 
when  not  so  eharged. 

Dr.  Bonehet  uft«rt«  that  the  use  of  mAgenta 
in  eolozlng  wines  is  not  necessarily  injurious  to 
health  if  small  qnaotiUes  only  be  added ;  bul  ba 
holds,  nevertheless,  that  the  pezsons  manofactuxinjr 
spurious  wince  should  be  prosecuted  as  swindlers. 

With  reference  to  the  disca<:sion  regarding 
the  normal  presence  of  copper  and  zinc  in  the  bodies 
of  wild  as  well  as  of  domesrio  animals,  MM.  Eaoult 
•nd  H.  Breton  say  that  for  a  long  time  what  has  r^ 
cently  been  apparently  established  beyond  tho  possi- 
bility of  question  has  been  jecjgnized  bytoxicol 
ogists. 

M.  Girard,  of  the  Academy  of  Sciences.  Paris, 
proposes  the  sulpho-earbonate  of  potash  as  a  remedy 
for  the  Colorado  beetle.  He  is  not  inclined  to  siiara 
the  alarm  which  that  beetle  has  caused  in  Europe, 
because  he  says  that  another  chr>-soinelian  which 
feeds  on  loeeme  in  France  has  been  easily  kep' 
down. 

M,  Zeigler  has  arrived  at  the  conclusion  that,, 
hailstones  cannot  att^un  a  great  size  unless  their 
course  in  the  lower  and  detiser  strata  of  the  armo- 
spere  is  long.  His  observations  have  shown  him  that 
the  trajectory  of  large  hailstones  forms  an  ncuto 
angle  with  the  ground :  but  further  research  $8 
needed  to  give  tblM  theory  adequate  and  general  sup 
port. 

A  new  material  caUed  ehurite,  apparently 
capable  of  extensive  employment  in  the  arts,  is  mridt 
in  this  way :  To  the  dust  of  bone  or  ivory  gum 
tragacanth  and  any  suitable  coloring  matter  are 
added.  The  whole  is  then  pressed-  SomeiimtfS  :i. 
very  intimate  union  is  formed  between  the  particles 
of  bone  or  ivory  by  heat  and  pressure  without  an; 
gum. 

II.  Figier,  in  a  paper  read  hef  orfi  the  Anthro- 
pological Society  of  Vienna,  thinks  that  the  lands 
now  known  as  Turkey  and  Greece  were  first  peopled 
by  the  Iberians,  and  that  they  were  succeeded  by  tho 
Hlj-rians  and  Thraciane — ^the  two  races  called  Pelasri- 
ans  in  ancient  authors.  The  Hellens  conquered  then. 
bnt  adopted  from  tham  what  advancement  had  betn 
made  in  art  and  science,  and  thus  secured  a  credit 
for  progress  which  is  rightly  due  to  the  Pelasgians. 

The  French  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Franoo- 
PrusEian  war  used  to  niake  disparaging  remarks  re- 
garding the  spectacled  Germans.  But  in  France  It 
self  the  people  do  not  have  the  beat  eyes  i;. 
the  world.  M.  Perrin  states  that  not  less  than  from 
one-eighth  to  one-tenth  of  the  men  of  the  Frt?n<^i 
Army  are  unfit  for  service  on  account  of  defoctiv-; 
vision.  Xearly  half  of  the  officers  trained  in  the 
Ecole  Polyiechnique  are  unable  to  see  well:  and  M. 
Perrin  proposes  spectacles  to  be  more  generElly 
atiopted  as  a  remedy  for  this  serious  defect  in  a  ser- 
vice reqmring  excellent  eyes. 

The  following  Intei-esting  experiment,  illns 
trating  electro-capiBary  action,  has  been  performed 
by  M.  BecquereL  He  placed  a  cracked  tube,  contain 
ing  a  solution  of  nitrate  of  silver  and  some  fragments 
of  carbon,  in  a  vessel  hoiding  monosulphuret  of 
sodium ;  the  side  of  the  crack  in  contact  with  the 
inner  solution  forming  the  negative  pole  of  the  ca- 
pillary couple,  and  that  in  contact  with  the  outer  so- 
lution the  positive  pole.  Soon  the  neca^'^^e  wall  be- 
came coated  with  silver,  and  the  particles  of  carbon 
near  that  pole  also  received  a  covering  of  the  metal, 
Increasing  in  depth  according  to  the  proximity  of  th» 
particles  to  th^  pole. 

It  is  esrimated  that  the  coast  at  the  month  ot 
the  Suez  Canal,  at  Port  Said  is  advancing  outward 
at  the  rapid  rate  of  about  50  yards  per  annum,  and 
that  the  necessity  for  extensive  dre'i;rfiur  vriXl  be 
greater  year  by  year.  Xot  less  th.in  9o7.000  cubic 
yards  of  deposit  had  to  be  removed  in  1^75.  while 
the  dredging  of  161.000  cubic  yards  suSced  in  1 S71. 
The  British  Government  has  ordered  a  new  survey 
of  the  coast  between  Port  Said  and  the  Damiett-x 
mouth  of  the  Xile,  in  order  to  ascertain  the  actual 
condition  and  the  rate  of  increase  of  the  sandbanks, 
and  to  see  if  any  plan  besides  dredging  can  be  adopt 
ed  to  check  the  growth  of  the  obstructions. 

Mr.  Hunter  Nicholson,  of  East  Tennes?ir6 
University,  takes  exception  to  Mr.  Frank  Buckland's 
statement  in  a  note  to  the  recent  edirion  of  White'9 
Selbome,  to  the  effect  that  rattlesnakes  cannot  pl^y 
up  their  rattles  in  wet  weather,  becomes  the  horn 
becomes  more  or  less  saturated  with  water,  and  no 
sound  can  be  produced  from  it.  Writing  to  JVo- 
t^sre,  Mr.  Nicholson  savs :  "  The  live  rattlesnake  can 
'  ^iMy  up'  his  rattle  in  the  very  wettest  of  wet  weath- 
er. I  have  taken  them  alive  on  two  occasions  in  the 
midst  of  a  heavy  rain,  and  I  could  discover  no  dif- 
ference in  their  rattling  powers."  He  adds  that  dur- 
ing the  year  1S73  he  kept  a  rattlesnake  in  hia  room 
for  eight  months,  and  in  that  time  he  came  to  know 
that  *'  Rattier,"  as  he  cidled  him,  could  play  up  sev- 
eral different  notes  indicative  of  anger,  of  pleasiire. 
and  of  loveliness. 

Dr.  Townsend  Austen,  of  the  Xew-Tork 
School  of^Mines,  communicates  to  the  Ciiemical  Xetoa 
the  fact  that  felt  ba&e-pads  are  very  ^ective  in  pro- 
tecting glass  vessels  containing  hot  liquids  Crom 
fiucture.  He  cuts  up  the  felt  (aix>ut  one-half  inch  in 
thickness)  into  oblong  pieces,  in  sizes  from.  2  by  4  to 
8  by  12  Inches,  and  he  makes  it  a  practice  to  Iiave  a 
pad  under  every  glass  on  his  laboratory  table.  He 
also  gives  a  useful  plan  to  obtain  well-defined  crys- 
tals from  solution  :  Havim;  evaporated  the  solution 
to  the  proper  consistency  in  a  watch-glass,  he  warms 
another  watch-glass,  places  it,  but  does  not  press  it, 
on  the  top  of  the  forrpcr  one.  and  the  drop  expands 
to  a  fl^"i  a  little  thicker  than  that  obtained  in  au 
animalculaa  cage.  Crystallization  takes  place  be- 
tween the  glasses  when  a  drop  or  two  of  ct^er  i^ 
permitted  to  evaporate  on  the  surface  of  the  uppf^ 
glass. 

The  bulletin  of  the  Industrial  .Society  of 
Rouen  gives  a  description  of  the  process  ior  manu- 
facturing celluloid  which  possesses  the  qualities  of 
hardness,  toughness,  transparency,  and  fusibility. 
It  is  also  plastic  ^dmalleableat  12j°  ;  it  ignites  with 
difficulty,  and  is  decomposed  stiddeuly  with  reddish 
fumes  at  140°.  The  paper  for  this  celluloid  is  treat 
ed  by  a  continuous  process  with  five  parts  of  suj- 
phurle  add  and  two  parts  of  nitric  acid,  to  convert  it 
into  a  substance  analogous  to  gtm-cotton.  Some  of 
the  add  is  then  removed  by  pressure,  and  the  mute- 
rial  is  thoroughly  washed  in  water.  The  paste  thus 
formed  is  partially  dried  and  ground  in  a  milL  Cam- 
phor is  next  added,  and  the  mixture  is  again  p-ound^ 
After  being  pressed,  it  is  placed  between  leaves  of 
blotting  paper  and  allowed  to  dry  in  a  hvdraulic 
press.  lAstly,  it  is  cut,  crushed,  laminated,  and 
finally  compressed  in  an  apparatus  suitably  heated.      "^ 

The  late  singular  disintegration  of  a  mountain 
in  Tarentaise,  Savoy,  somewhat  like  what  Is  said  to 
have  taken  place  on  a  less  violent  and  extensive 
scale  in  ttiis  cotintry,  has  been  investigated  by  M. 
Berard  He  says  that  neither  the  melting  of  snow, 
the  penetration  of  water,  the  movement  of  under- 
lying strata,  nor  the  steepness  of  the  slope  fully  ac- 
count for  the  occurrence  ;  and  he  suggests  the  ac- 
tivity of  some  geological  force  which  acts  ob- 
liquely to  the  axis  of  the  mountain  and  parallel  to 
the  sides.  Large  blocks  of  hard  schist  were  from, 
time  to  time  severed  with  noise  and  violeuco  f  roui 
the  main  mass  and  fell  with  destructive  force  to  the 
lower-lying  land.  Showers  of  small  stones  foliowei 
the  larger  masses,  causing  a  whistling  sound  In  their 
course  through  the  air.  Between  each  disruption  a 
short  period  of  repose  ooctirred,  and  then  the  de- 
struction was  resimied  for  a  long  time.  The  impact 
of  one  blodk  of  stone  is  said  to  have  been  so  intense 
that  it  caused  the  branches  and  trunk  of  a  txee  tw 
disappear  ^i"tr«  a  burning  match  in  the  air.

ceiver to  take  charge  of  the  business  of  the  company, 
but  simply  to  collect  the  rents  of  certain  real  estate,

The  weekly  averages  reported  yesterday 
\)y  the  City  banks  show  a  decrease  in  all  the 
ioems.  Specie  has  fallen  off  $l.r.S1.000; 
h-gal  tenders  have  diminished  $39S,000. 
lad  deposits  $2,017,000.  This  leaves  the 
t-xcess  of  reserve  over  legal  requirements 
$12,792,050,  not  a  very  high  figure  under 
the  existing  pronsions  of  law  and  at  this 
teason  of  the  year.  The  week  has 
l>een  a  remarkable  one  in  the  stock 
inarkoc,  especially  with  reference  to 
railway  shares,  which  ha\;e  advanced 
f '•oiT;  4  per  cent,  to  10  per  cent.  Compar-

of  business,  is  very  well  understood.  It  has

Our  cable  dispatch  this  morning  reports 
that  the  C:ar  of  Russia  is  in  a  state  of  great 
naxiety,  desiring  that  an  energetic  and  even 
tiesperate  movement  ?h:ii!  be  made  by  his 
iirm;e=  south  of  the  Da.nube.  and  that  if 
sjccessiul  Le  will  then  be  ready  to  treat 
f T  cociparatively  moderate  terms  of  peace. 
Tnis  report  agrees  with  other  Ludi- 
ca'iocs  cf  the  approach  of  an 
efort  intended  to  be  decisive,  to  re- 
tiJn  lo^t  grcuTid  by  the  Russian  forces. 
Cur  ler.fcr?  will  find,  also,  an  interestine- 
letter  boia  s.  conespondent  with  the  Rus- 
¥-an  Army,  which  gives,  in  a  most  graphic 
lortn,  the  itapressioas  of  a  keen  and  intelli- 
gent o^3erver.  la  London,  the  Baroness 
riT.DETT-CoCTTS  has  taken  the  lead  in  a 
Hrt>Teine::t  to  raise  money  for  the  relief  of 
the  farmlies  of  those  in  the  Turkish  service 
■ — a  noTel  and  by  no  means  objectionable 
fcnp  for  Turcophile  sympathies  to  take. 


A  lively  cuanel  between  the  City  and  a 
couple  of  contractors  who  occupy  Barron  (or 
Earren)  Jsland  for  fat  rendering  is  going 
oa.  The  City  claims  the  gi-ound  belonging 
to  the  corporation,  and  leased  to  these  con- 
t:acto»3,  with  a  view  to  using  the  island 
ES  a  dumping-ground,  and  tbe  eon- 
tractors  require  certain  sums  which 
they  Lave  paid  on  the  lease,  together 
with  the  ejectment  of  a  colony  of 
eqnatters.  The  latter  requirement  will 
tot  to  be  easily  complied  with,  as  the  squat- 
ters are.  of  the  most  tenacious  and  desperate 
character,  as  might  be  supposed  from  their 
c'joiee  of  a  home.  We  confess  to  a  hope 
that  the  squatters  and  the  contractors  will 
retain  their  hold  on  the  island  if  the  City  is 
to  "use  it  as  a  dumping  ground.  It  is  bad 
enough  to  have  the  harbor  tilled  and  the 
chanael  destroyed  by  the  dumping ;  but  the 
nest  genefetkm  can  dredge  a  new  channel, 
while  a  de^sitLof  a  few  square  miles  of 
/vsilal  and  street-sweepings  off  our  shores 
would  be  a  source  of  disease  and  suffering 
tor  which  there  would  be  no  compensation. 


Some  curious  statements  concerning  the 
mode  of  life  adopted  by  the  Polish  and  Rus- 
sian Jews  in  this  City,  and  especially,  their 
c\is!)Oins  as  to  marriage  and  separation,  will 
\yi  {otind  in  our  columns  this  morning.  The 
fcets  are  gathered,  as  will  be  seen,  from 
Jewish  authorities  only,  and  have  already 
occasioned  considerable  interest  among  the 
more  intelligent  Jews.  It  will  be  remem- 
'bered  that  it  was  among  this  class  that  the 
girl  Saea  Alexasdeb  lived,  who  was 
murdered  near  East  New-Vork  some 
17  months  since,  and  that  Bitben- 
BTEEt,  who  was  convicted  of  the 
ciiine,  was  a  Polish  Jew.  At  that  time  at- 
tention was  drawn  to  the  peculiar  views  en- 
tertained by  this  people  coueeming  the  rela- 
tf.ve  authority  of  their  own  rules  of  life  and 
the  ^xvra  of 'the  State.  Occasionally  one  of 
their  uustber  <ram«8  iato  the  State  eoarta. 


either  as  plaintiff  or  defendatit,  but  nsaaUy 
their  cMitempt  for  State  laws  and  their  irev- 
erence  for  the  decisions  of  their  rabbis  are 
indulged  without  interference,  and  as  long 
as  they  live  together  in  reasonable  peace  it 
is  probable  that  only  those  Jews  who  are  as- 
sociated with  them  by  ties  of  religion,  and 
who  feel  naturally  annoyed  by  their  lawless 
life,  will  be  inclined  to  take  an  active  inter- 
eat  in  their  concerns. 

Washington  Market  has  been  a  disgrace 
to  the  City  for  a  good  many  years,  and  in  a 
variety  of  ways.  It  appears  likely  now,  un- 
der the  guidance  of  the  new  Clerk,  Mr. 
John  Keenan,  to  be  a  source  of  considera- 
ble danger  as  well.  That  ofBcial  has  charge 
of  the  inspection  of  provisions  in  the  market, 
and  possesses  the  sole  authority  to  seize 
such  as  are  in  a  bad  condition. 
It  is  obvious,  that  to  attend  to 
his  duties  decently,,  he  should 
be  at  his  post  early,  and  remain  during  the 
hours  at  which  newly-arrived  food  is  dis- 
posed of.  Mr.  Keesak,  however,  takes  no 
such  strict  view  of  his  duties,  and  employs 
very  little  of  his  time  at  the  market.  What 
he  does  with  the  remainder  is  best  known 
to  himself  and  Mr.  Kelly,  whose  interests  ha 
appears  to  regard  as  quite  above  the  health 
of  the  City.  The  City  Government  is  under 
the  highest  obligation  to  see  that  the  busi- 
ness of  which  it  assumes  control  at  Wash- 
ington Market  is  properly  conducted,  be- 
cause the  fact  that  it  has  control  causes 
purchasers  to  rely  on  it.  The  behavior  of 
Mr.  Keenan  is  an  outrage  in  every  regard. 


A  reduction  has  been  made  in  the  wages 
of  the  drivers  and  conductors  on  the  Fourth- 
avenue  and  Sixth-avenue  street-car  lines 
from  $2  25  per  day  to  $2.  We  believe  this 
is  an  instance  in  which  the  public  will  have 
sympathy  with  the  laborers,  and  will 
hold  the  employers  scarcely  Justified  in 
their  course.  The  work  on  the  cars 
is  hard;  hours  are  long;  respon- 
sibility is  considerable,  and  there  is 
much  erposure.  There  lias  not  been, 
so  far  as  can  be  ascertained,  any  large 
falling  off  in  receipts,  while  expenses  other 
than  wages  are  much  less  than  they  were. 
The  companies,  therefore,  are  driving  a 
hard  bargain,  and  though  it  makes  very  lit- 
tle difference  to  them,  they  will  find  travel- 
ers on  their  cars  generally  disapproving  the 
reduction. 


REFEESEyTATIVE  DEMOCRACY. 

There  has  been  a  good  d  eal  of  nonsense 
published  of  late  about  the  "  representa- 
tive" characterof  Tammany  Hall,  and  about 
the  expediency  of  giving  it  credit  for  good 
intentions  until  it  shows  by  its  candidates 
this  Fall  that  it  entertains  any  bad  ones. 
Meanwhile  Tammany  Hall  has  been  purg- 
ing the  local  departments  of  all  the  em- 
ployes who  have  b?ou  guilty  of  showing  the 
slightest  spark  of  political  independence, 
and  has  been  tilling  their  places  with  a  set 
of  persons  who,  as  a  rule,  are  as  conspicu- 
ous fur  their  lack  of  character  as  for  their 
slavish  subserviency  to  -lOHN  KELLY  and  the 
orgauizatiou  which  he  controls.  Tam'nany 
represents  the  Democratic  Party  of  Xew- 
York  just  as  faithfully  as  can  be  done  by  a 
siLspicious  and  narrow-minded  system  of 
politii'al  despotism,  sustained  on  the  ou  o 
hand  by  the  power  aud  patronage  of  a  great 
City,  and  ou,  the  other  by  the  continuous  and 
pervasive  pressure  of  a  highly-organized 
sclieme  of  ecclesiastical  domination.  That 
the  majority  of  the  Democratic  voters  of 
New- York  are  as  perfectly  content  with  the 
one-man  power  in  politics  as  they  are  with 
unreasouiug  submission  to  authority  in  mat- 
ters of  religion,  is  pert'eotly  possible.  That 
there  is  a  very  powerful  minority  in  that 
party  which  rebels  against  the  preposterous 
absurdity  of  professing  Democracy  and  prac- 
ticing absolutism,  is  beyond  all  question. 
That  Tammany  Hall  must  always  be  beaten 
at  the  polls  when  this  minority  makes  com- 
mon cause  with  Republicans  against  the 
nominees  of  Kelly  aud  liis  associates  needs 
no  demonstration.  That  it  is  of  the  tii'st 
importance  to  the  prospects  of  good  govern- 
ment in  this  City  that  these  nominees  should 
be  beaten,  no  matter  wiiat  their  character 
may  be,  is  almost  equally  obvious. 

We  suppose  it  will  be  conceded,  even  by 
those  who  deuy  that  John'  Kelly  is  iu  any 
sense  the  dictator  of  the  Tammany  organi- 
zation, that  he  is  at  least  the  person  whom" 
that  organization  has  of  late  most  delighted 
to  honor.  The  CoutroUership  of  New-York 
is  an  ofBce  requiring  e.teeutive  ability  of  a 
very  high  order,  a  mind  thoroughly  capable 
of  grasping  broad  principles  as  well  as  a 
multitude  of  petty  details,  and  an  amount 
of  information  iu  regard  to  laws  and  legal 
decisions  affecting  the  City  such  as  very  few 
men  have  had  either  the  opportunity  or  the 
disposition  to  acquire.  We  should  consider 
it  to  be  conclusive  evidence  of  the  true 
character  and  purposes  of  the  Tammany  or- 
ganization when  it  forces  into  such  a  posi- 
tion an  illiterate  and  rather  obtuse  type  of 
man,  totally  destituteof  either  commercial 
or  legal  training,  who  learned  polities  in  the 
school  of  the  shoulder-hitter  and  the  loafer, 
aud  who  owes  everything  he  has  and  is  to 
his  success  iu  quartering  himself  in 
one  capacity  or  other  upon  the 
public.  If  this  is  the  beat  that 
Tammany  can  do  when  it  is  a  question 
of  filling  the  most  important  office  in  our 
City  Government,  will  it  be  pretended  that 
such  an  organization  can  reznain  supreme 
in  local  affairs  without  bringing  their  ad- 
ministration into  confusion   and  contempt  f 

But  suppose  that  Kelly  is  a  totally  dif- 
ferent person  fi'om  what  we  have  declared 
him  to  be.  Suppose,  as  his  ardent  admirers 
declare,  that  the  defects  of  his  early  train- 
ing have  been  repaired  by  unremitting 
study,  that  his  aptitude  for  finance  is  as  re- 
markable as  his  previous  ignorance  of  the 
multiplication  table,  that  of  his  pugilistic 
experience  there  only  remains  a  resolute 
aggressiveness  in  taking  care  of  the  public 
interests,  and  that  he  has  as  fully  repented 
of  his  share  in  placing  County  Auditor 
Watson  where  he  could  do  most  harm  as 
he  has  of  his  own  little  irregularities  when 
Sheriff  in  making^  illegal  charges  npon  the 
County.  On  that  theory  Kelly  would  be  a 
type  of  the  able  and  honest  pnblic  servants 
whom  Tammany  Hall  is  said  fo  be  ready  at 
all  times  to  give  us,  but  he  would  also  be  a 
striking  illustration  of  how  impossible  it  is 
for  any  man,  however  good  and  great,  to 
prevent  himself  from  being  made  the  tool 
of  the  tricksters  to  whom  he  owes  his  polit- 
cal  existence. 

For  what  has  Kslly  done  to  justify  the 
assumption  that  he  is  the  able  and  honest 
official  which  the  rose-colored  theory  of 
Tammany  and  its  nominees  isvolves  ?    The 


men  with  whose  mdvancement  he  has  been 
most  closely  identified,  and  in  whose  cause 
he  has  risked  even  the  politjeal  prestige  of 
his  organization,  are  Crokeb,  Calvin,  and 
PuRROT.  The  first,  a  leader  of  the  ruffianly 
class  of  ward  politicians,  has  been  pro- 
nounced bj-  Mr.  Kelly  to  be  "  one  of  the 
noblest  works  of  the  Creator  ;"  the  second, 
a  legal  jobber  of  the  type  which  became  so 
familiar  under  the  regime  of  the  Ring  Judges, 
was  raised  by  Kelly  to  the  office  of  Surro- 
gate in  dgfiance  of  the  protests  of  friendly 
newspapers  and  of  more  cautious  political 
associates  ;  and  the  third,  a  demagogue  of 
the  least  scrupulous  order  who  lives  by  his 
power  to  peddle  out  nominations  for  petty 
office,  is  the  person  whose  appointment  as 
Police  Commissioner  is  so  ardently  desired 
by  Kelly  that  he  is  ready  to  block  the  wheels 
of  the  entire  City  Government  to  accomplish 
it.  Our  theory  is  that  Kelly's  preference 
for  such  men  is  quite  as  nattira!  as  his  sup- 
port of  men  like  "  Tom''  Campbell  and 
"  Nick"  Ml-ller  as  his  recent  selections  for 
places  in  his  own*  office,  or  as  was  his 
patronage  of  thefdeceased  Watson.  But 
if  it  be  against  E|s  will  that  he  pushes 
unscrupulous  and  incapable  men  into  posi- 
tions of  public  trust,  it  must  be  still  more 
obvious  that  Tammany.  Hall  is  an  institution 
whose  suppression  is  an  urgent  public 
necessity.  Its  success  iu  demoralizing  a 
person  such  as  Mr.  Kelly's  fi-iends  declare 
him  to  be,  proves  that  nobody,  however 
good  and  great,  can  afford  to  take  its 
nomination  without  receiving  also  its  taunt. 


TRE  TURKISH  COUSTERMOTE. 

Gen.  GocBKHo  recalled,  Kustendje  evacu- 
ated, the  siege  of  Niesies  raised,  twelve 
Turkish  battalions  and  several  thousand 
irregulars  advancing  through  Montenegro, 
Rustchuk  masked  rather  than  invested,  the 
invaders  decimated  by  sickness,  Prince 
Hassan  and  his  Egyptians  threatening  the 
Russian  communications,  eight  Turkish 
war-steamers  landing  troops  north  of  the 
Danube  to  assist  him — such  events,  so  near 
the  commencement  of  the  .\utumn  rains, 
are  of  heavy  import  to  Russia.  The  eon- 
quest  of  Roumelia  this  year  Ui  already  hope- 
less ;  and  it  is  now  a  question  whether 
she  can  even  achieve  that  of  Bulgaria 
during  the  five  or  six  weeks  that  remain  to 
her  before  active  operations  become  im- 
possible. Already  the  conversion  of  the 
Sistova  highway  into  a  lake  of  mud  by  one 
day's  rain  has  given  ominous  warning  of 
what  is  to  come,  and  the  hurrjing  of  rein- 
forcements to  Kishineff,  at  the  rate  of 
12,000  men  daUy,  shows  that  the  Czar's 
Generals  fully  appreciate  the  magnitude  of 
the  crisis. 

Nor  will  these  reinforcements  arrive  a 
moment  too  soon.  The  formidable  counter- 
move  by  which  SiLEiii.iS  Pasha  has  retal- 
iated Gen.  GoiRKHo's  brilliant  manoeuvre 
is  reported  by  the  latest  dispatches  to  be 
completely  successful.  A  rapid  march 
through  the  Tvarditza  Pass  has  brought 
him  to  Elena,  within  easy  reach  of  Tiruova 
on  one  side  aud  Mebemet  .\li's  outposts  ou 
the  other,  aud  the  Russian  main  Army, 
with  Osuan  Pasha  closing  iu  upon  its  right 
aloug  the  line  from  Lovatz  vLof'.eha)  to 
Selvi,  while  Me:ie.met  Ali  and  Sileiman 
Paslia  are  preparing  to  hurl  yo,000  men 
against  its  left,  is  thus  in  serious  danger  of 
being  caught  between  two  fires. 

The  encampineiit  of  10,000  Turkish 
troops  ou  the  border  of  Thessaly,  and  the 
rumored  dispatch  from  Constantinople  to 
i'rete  of  two  Turkish  irou-clads,  caiTying 
2.600  men,  mark  the  growth  of  the  smold- 
ering insurrec,tions  secretly  fomented  by 
Russia,  iu  order  to  distract  the  attention 
and  divide  the  forces  of  her  antagonist. 
But  tills,  under  exi.sting  circumstances,  is 
but  a  forlorn  hope,  at  best.  It  would  be  a 
serious  outbreak  indeed  that  could  withdraw 
a  single  Turkish  battalion  from  Roumelia 
or  Bulgaria  at  a  crisis  like  the  present. 
"  The  danger  at  hand,"  says  the  old  Greek 
proverb,  •'  is  worse  than  that  which  is  afar 
off ;"  aud  the  risk  of  au  outbreak  in  Bagdad 
or  Yemen,  iu  the  absence  of  the  regular 
troops,  is  trivial  compared  with  that  of  a 
decisive  Russian  victory  in  Bulgaria.  A 
government  a  main  fort.;  like  that  of 
Turkey,  may  be  said  to  live  iu  au  atmos- 
phere of  chronic  insurrection,  and  probably 
thinks  as  little  of  the  periodica)  rebellions 
of  Irak  aud  Arabia  as  its  Roman  predeces- 
sors thought  of  the  rising  which  invariably 
followed  the  withdi-awal  of  a  legion  from 
Thrace  or  Judiea. 

The  pause  of  mutual  exhaustion  must 
necessarily  be  a  short  one  :  and  upon  the 
success  or  failure  of  her  next  movement 
hangs  Russia's  whole  European  campaign.. 
That  the  Turks  will  attempt  to  break  the 
Russian  line  near  Tirnova  by  a  concerted 
attack  on  both  sides  at  once  is  abundantly 
evident  :  and  should  they  succeed  in  doing 
so,  their  victory  will  iu  all  probability  be 
followed  by  the  falling  back  upon  the  Dan- 
ube of  all  the  Russiau  troops  in  Bulgaria. 
But,  whichever  side  may  gain  the  day,  the 
prospect  of  peace  seems  further  off  than 
ever.  The  Turks,  flushed  by  their  recent 
successes,  are  in  no  mood  for  yielding : 
while  the  immense  stores  of  provisions, 
clothing,  and  fire-wood  which  are  being  ae- 
cimmlated  by  the  Russians  and  Roumanians 
show  that  they  are  fully  prepared  for  the 
continuance  of  the  war,  and  bent  upon  fight- 
ing it  out  to  the  end.  Meanwhile  the  spec- 
tators look  on  with  divided  sympathies. 
The  English  Goverimient  and  the  Hungarian 
people  are  for  war  ;  the  Austrian  Govern- 
ment and  the  English  people  for  peace. 
The  Turks  have  sunk  a  Greek  cruiser  in 
token  that  they  know  how  to  interpret  the 
"  armed  neutrality  "  of  the  Athenian  Cabi- 
net ;  and  the  Greeks  are  retaliating  by 
equipping  half  a  dozen  fresh  vessels,  and 
sending  two  more  volunteer  bands  to  the 
border  of  Thessaly.  Italy,  despite  her 
rumored  understanding  with  Russia,  looks 
on  and  makes  no  sign  ;  while  Servia,  ham- 
pered by  the  dread  of  an  Austrian  occupa- 
tion, still  maintains  the  attitude  of  the  re- 
cruit who,  in  his  first  battle,  "  durst  not  fire 
for  fear  of  hitting  somebody." 

But  however  faulty  may  have  been  the 
strategy  of  the  invaders,  the  reproaches 
leveled  at  their  dilatoriness  and  want 'of 
energy  are  by  no  means  conformable  to 
strict  justice.  War  is  often  compared  to  a 
game  of  chess — ^but  a  game  played  with 
living  pieces  is  burdened  with  difficulties 
tmknown  to  its  counterpart.  In  these  days 
of  perfect  discipline  and  mathematical  reg- 
ularity of  movement,  non-military  read- 
ers are  too  apt  to  forget  that  an  army  is  not 
a  mere  machine  working  in  accordance  with 
fixed  laws,  but  an  aggregate  of  sentient 
units.    capabV*    of  safierinc    and    dyin£ 


like  other  men.  The  taotician  who 
ti-aces  out  on  his  diagram  the  route  of  this 
column  and  of  that  fails  to  take  into  ac- 
count htmger,  fatigue,  bad  roads,  worn-out 
shoes,  sickness,  want  of  ammtmition,  floods, 
broken  bridges,  and  a  thousand  other  foes 
who  never  figure  on  paper.  Most  men  know 
what  it  is  to  walk  twenty  miles  over  a  heavy 
cotmtry  in  the  teeth  of  a  storm;  but  what 
is  this  to  the  every-day  life  of  a  soldier  t  He 
must  struggle  for  days  through  ankle-deep 
mud,  under  a  load  which  few  untried  men 
could  support  for  a  single  march.  He  must 
live  upon  stale  black  bread,  often  so  hard 
that  it  must  be  soaked  ere  it  can  be  swal- 
lowed at  all.  He  must  drink  from  marshy 
pools,  or  from  streams  trodden  into  mire  by 
countless  hoofs.  He  must  toil  over  steep, 
rocky  ridges,  under  a  burning  sun,  every 
step  galling  his  swollen  feet  like  a  stab. 
He  must  lie  shivering  all  night  in  the  rain, 
longing  for  sunrise  to  warm  his  stiffening 
limbs.  All  this,  and  more,  have  the  Rus- 
sians had  to  endure ;  and  whatever  may  be 
thought  of  their  strategy,  their  devotion,  at 
least,  is  beyond  aU  praise. 


IMPUDENT  COEPORATWXS. 
The  three  or  four  corporations  which  con- 
trol passenger  traffic  between  the  City  Hall 
and  the  upper  part  of  the  island  are  always 
just  about  to  give  us  superior  facilities. 
But  they  never  do  it.  Ever  since  the  public 
first  waked  up  to  the  realization  of  the  fact 
that  we  are  at  the  mercy  of  these  grasping 
corporations,  promises  of  better  things  have 
been  frequent  but  worthless.  There  have 
been  various  schemes  for  rapid  transit,  as  it 
is  popularly  called.  Some  of  these  are  ut- 
terly impracticable,  and  some  of  them  pro- 
pose to  take  great  liberties  with  the  property 
of  citizens  and  tax-payers.  But  it  is  possi- 
ble to  connect  the  upper  and  lower  parts  of 
New- York  by  railway  lines  which  shall 
land  passengers  at  either  end  in  one- 
half  the  time  now  required  for  the  journey. 
If  this  cannot  be  done  without  injustice  to 
the  rights  of  any  citizen,  then  we  are  indeed 
very  poorly  off.  But  each  movement  de- 
signed to  advance  any  one  of  these  schemes, 
good,  bad,  or  indifferent,  is  met  w  ith  oppo- 
sition on  the  part  of  the  old-fogy  corpora- 
tions already  in  possession.  It  is  only  nat- 
ural that  these  concerns  should  fight  for 
their  existence.  But  they  employ  tactics 
which  are  dishonest,  disreputable,  and  im- 
pudent. They  pursue  a  dog-in-the-manger 
policy,  and  neither  cany  passengers  expe- 
ditiously nor  allow  others  to  do  so.  Just  as 
soou  as  there  is  the  least  chance  of  a  real 
rapidtransitbeingestablished,  these  concerns 
make  a  great  display  of  activity.  They  are 
the  only  simon-pure  friends  of  rapid  transit ; 
and  they  only  have  the  means  and  appli- 
ances for  giving  the  people  the  boon  which 
they  long  have  craved.  But  no  sooner  is 
the  dreaded  rivalry  shut  off  for  the  tima 
than  the  extraordinary  preparations  of  the 
street  railroad  people  cease.  All  talk  of 
their  sort  of  rapid  transijt.  is  at  an  end. 
Everything  relapses  into  its  former  ti  ..i- 
quillity,  aui  the  helpless  citizens  are  dragged 
about  in  the  same  slow  and  expensive  fash- 
-iou. 

A  few  months  since  t  here  was  a  revival 
of  the  hopes  of  rapid  transit.  Various 
legal  questions  were  decided  favorably  to 
the  friends  of  tho  new  enterprises,  and  a 
fi'esh  spirit  of  determination  was  infused 
into  them.  Of  course,  the  old  corporations 
took  the  alarm  at  once.  If  there  was  the 
least  prospect  that  the  people  would  be 
sljle  to  traverse  the  island  iu  less  time  than 
an  hour  and  a  half,  the  street  railroads 
would  be  panic-stricken.  Under  their  old 
charter  the  Second-.\venue  Company  are 
allowed  to  run  steam  engines  (dummies)  on 
their  line  above  Forty-secoud-street.  The 
managers  of  the  road  were  at  once  reported 
to  be  in  favor  of  exercising  their  right  to 
use  the  d'jmnies.  anlof  asking  permission 
ji  pit  steam  en^iaas  ou  the  lower  eul  of 
tne  rofcte.  The  Third-Avenue  Com- 
pany, distinguished  for  the  pertinacity 
with  wiiich  they  have  pursued  all 
who  oppose  »them,  as  well  as  for 
their  bad  faith  with  the  public,  were 
galvanized  into  new  activity.  They  went  to 
the  Bjard  of  Alderm?u  with  a  pitiful  plea, 
and  begjijed  to  be  allowed  to  employ  steam 
ou  their  road.  They  were  anxious  to 
serve  the  dear  people  and  would  give  them 
rapid  transit,  out  of  hand,  as  it  were.  This 
request  was  granted,  and,  at  the  suggestion  of 
TUE  Times,  a  proviso  was  inserted  requiring 
the  compauy  to  separata  the  car  seats  by 
iron  arm-pieces,  as  used  in  ferry-boat 
cabins.  This  requirement  did  not  please 
the  petitioners,  who  made  a  wry  face 
when  they  found  their  privilege  sad- 
dled with  it.  Tiie  comfort  of  their  patrons 
is  the  very  last  thing  wiuch  a  street-railroad 
corporation  considers.  The  Sixth-aveuue 
people,  however,  distanced  all  others  in 
their  deference  to  the  public  good.  They 
built  two  cars  of  suc-h  an  altitude  that  the 
passengers  on  the  upper  deck  could  almost 
look  over  the  tops  of  the  houses  along  the 
route.  These  aerial  perches,  it  was  said, 
were  designed  for  smokers,  and  the  cars 
were  to  be  run  in  their  interest.  Over  the 
whole  lofty  structure  was  spread  a  sort  of 
parach'jte,  which  served  as  an  awning.  The 
tremendous  edifice,  as  it  rumbled  along  the 
avenue,  excited  the  mirth  and  astonishment 
of  passers-by,  and  filled  the  horses  with  un- 
disguised alarm. 

The  flurry  passed  over.  In  a  little  while, 
the  prospects  of  rapid  transit  were  by  no 
means  as  imminent  as  they  had  been. 
There  was  an  immediate  and  consequent 
collapse  in  the  plans  of  the  street  railroads. 
The  Second-avenue  people  languidly  de- 
clared that  they  had  really  never  thought  of 
using  steam,  as  it  was  too  expensive.  The 
Third-avenue  managers,  after  all  their 
feverish  anxiety  to  secure  the  right  to  use 
Steam  engines,  announced  that  "  it  would 
cost  many  thousands  of  dollars  to  substi- 
tute steam  power  for  horse  power."  These 
simple  souls,  of  course,  had  always 
supposed  that  the  substitution  could  be 
made  for  nothing.  The  two  traveling  cara- 
vans yet  remained  on  the  Sixth-avenue  line, 
and,  at  irregular  intervals,  traversed  the 
long  road,  branching  off  at  Park-place,  as 
the  Vesey-street  arch  is  too  low  to  allow 
them  to  pass  up  to  Broadway.  Then  it 
came  out  that  the  Third-avenue  petition 
was  "  only  a  blind "  to  head  off  rapid 
transit.  The  Third-avenue  managers  make 
no  secret  oi  it  now.  In  like  manner  the 
Sixth-avenue  people  admit  that  their  three- 
story  structures  were  built  to  prevent 
the  Elevated  Railroad  from  crossing 
their  tracks.  They  claim  to  own 
all  the  space  from  their  tracks 
np  to  the  zenith,    and   it  their   loftr  cars 


were  not  high  enongh  to  strike  any  line  at- 
tempted to  be  built  over  theirs,  they  would 
rig  the  cars  with  masts,  andthen  apply  for 
an  injunction  to  prohibit  their  rivals  from 
interfering  with  their  right  of  way !  The 
question  of  the  owneVship  of  the  sky  is  not 
yet  decided.  But  the  inevitable  litigation 
will  be  an  impediment  and  hindrance  to 
rapid  transit,  and  this  is  all  that  is  immedi- 
ately intended.  The  vested  interests  will 
fight  rapid  transit  with  pertinacity  and 
with  the  enormous  profits  of  a  long  con- 
tinued monopoly. 


MISS  WILSOyS   LEO. 

Twenty-seven  years  ago  Miss  Wilson,  of 
Pineville,  N.  C,  lost  her  right  leg.  She 
was  then  young  and  pretty,  and  had  she 
merely  mislaid  her  leg  every  chivalrous 
Carolinian  in  the  county  would  have  joined 
in  the  search  for  it.  Unfortunately,  her  loss 
was  an  irrevocable  one.  Having  uninten- 
tionally inserted  her  leg  under  the  wheel  of 
a  heavily-loaded  wagon,  she  found  that  the 
once  shapely  limb  was  so  completely  ruined 
that  she  consented  to  have  it  cut  off  and 
thrown  away.  Its  place  was  in  time  sup- 
plied with  a  cork  leg,  and  Miss  Wilson  sor- 
rowfully resigned  herself  to  limping  through 
a  loveless  life  to  a  solitary  grave.  ' 

There  never  has  been  any  active  demand 
for  women  with  wooden  legs.  A  man  with 
a  wooden  leg  suffers  a  certain  amount  of  in- 
convenience, but  he  loses  nothing  in  charac- 
ter or  popularity,  whereas  a  wooden-legged 
woman  is,  whether  justly  or  unjustly,  under 
a  social  ban.  In  fact,  for  a  woman  to  lose 
a  leg  is  ordinarily  to  lose  all  hope  of  mar- 
riage. A  man  who  is  about  to  marry  can- 
not be  blamed  for  preferring  a  whole  wife 
to  one  partially  made  of  cork — especially  as 
the  former  costs  no  more  than  the  latter. 
A  superficial  thinker  might,  perhaps,  fancy 
that  a  husband  whose  wife  had  but  one 
original  leg  would  save  fifty  per  cent,  in  the 
price  of  striped  stockings  and  kid  shoes ; 
but  a  little  reflection  will  show  that  a  cork- 
leg  requires  just  as  much  clothing  as  the 
usual  style  of  leg,  and  hence  is  not  an  eco- 
nomical contrivance.  Ot course,  it  is  mean 
and  selfish  in  a  man  to  permit  the  presence 
or  absence  of  a  mere  trifle  of  leg  to  affect 
his  feelings  toward  an  estimable  woman ; 
but  hurijan  nature  is  weak,  and  he  would  be 
a  bold  man  who  could  calmly  look  forward 
to  marrying  a  woman  who  might  some  morn- 
ing interrupt  him  while  shaving  by  asking — 
"  James,  would  you  mind  handing  me  my 
leg  T  I  think  you'll  find  it  behind  that  rock- 
ing-chair." 

It  is  alleged  by  Miss  Wilson's  neighbors 
that  as  she  grew  older  she  grew  hard  and 
cj-nical.  This  was,  perhaps,  to  have  been 
expected.  She  saw  herself  ignored  by 
all  martTing  men,  while  girls  with  half 
her  beauty,  and  whose  sole  superiority 
consisted  in  a  larger  number  of  legs, 
captured  husbands  without  any  diffictdty. 
Gradually  she  became  embittered  against 
her  bipedal  fellow-creatures,  and  the  lo- 
cal Baptist  minister  was  probably  right 
when  he  characterized  her  as  a  hard- 
hearted, worldly  woman.  One  day,  how- 
ever. Miss  WiLSOS  attended  a  camp-meet- 
ing, and  was  softened  by  the  eloquence 
of  the  preacher  and  the  shouts  of  the 
worshipers,  and  soon  after  Pineville  was 
surprised  and  pleased  by-  the  announce- 
ment that  on  next  Sunday  Sister  Wilson 
would  be  baptized. 

Now,  the  public  performance  of  the  right 
of  baptism  by  Rev.  Mr.  Waters,  of  the 
Pine\-ille  Eleventh-Day  Baptist  Church, 
always  drew  a  large  audience.  That  pow- 
erful and  agile  preacher  was  admitted  to  be 
without  a  rival  as  a  rapid  and  effective  bap- 
tizer.  On  one  occasion,  when  a  Presbyte- 
rian minister  preaching  against  baptism  by 
immersion  showed  that  St.  John  the  Baptist 
had  once  baptized  a  multitude  of  persons  at 
the  rate  of  two  men  and  a  half  per  minute, 
and  that  hence  he  could  not  have  immersed 
them,  Mr.  Waters  publicly  baptized  twen- 
ty-five persons  in  eight  minutes,  thus  beat- 
ing St.  John's  best  time  by  two  full  minutes 
and  completely  overthrowing  the  Presbyte- 
rian's argument.  With  all  his  unequaled 
rapidity  of  execution,  he  was  never  careless 
or  inconsiderate.  The^e  was  a  rival  Baptist 
minister  in  the  next  county  who  woifld  some- 
timos  become  carried  away  by  his  emotions, 
and  would  sing  au  entire  verse  of  a  long 
metre  hj-mn  while  holding  a  convert  under 
the  water  ;  and  although  a  stalwart  team- 
ster who  was  thus  ti'eated  once  fell  from 
grace,  and  upsetting  his  minister  in  the 
water  held  him  under  until  he  was  nearly 
drowned,  the  reverend  enthusiast  was  not 
cured  of  his  careless  habit.  When,  there- 
fore. Miss  Wilson  consented  to  be  baptized 
by  the  Pineville  minister,  she  knew  that  she 
would  be  treated  in  a  considerate  and  skill- 
ful manner  ;  and  the  public  knew  that  the 
spectacle  would  be  well  worth  witnessing. 

It  is  very  easy  to  say,  now  that  the  affair 
is  over,  that  Miss  Wilson  ought  to  have  left 
her  cork  leg  at  home.  In  that  case,  how- 
ever, she  would  have  been  compelled  either 
to  limp  to  the  water  on  crutches,  or  to  be 
carried  thither  by  self-sacrificing  deacons. 
Moreover,  her  appearance  in  public  without 
her  customary'  leg  would  have  excited  a 
great  deal  of  remark,  which  would  not  only 
have  shocked  her  sensitive  feelings  but 
would  have  detracted  from  the  solemnity  of 
the  scene.  When,  in  addition  to  these 
facts,  we  remember  that  she  was  a  woman 
residing  in  a  country  town,  to  which  cham- 
pagne baskets' rarely  penetrated,  and  was 
hence  presumably  ignorant  of  the  scientific 
fact  that  cork  is  light  and  buoyant,  her 
neglect  to  remove  her  cork  leg  prior  to 
baptism  seems  entirely  excusable. 

So  long  as  the  water  was  only  two  feet 
deep.  Miss  Wilson,  who  weighed  fuUy  two 
hundred  pounds,  managed  to  wade  toward 
the  minister,  but  so  soon  as  the  latter  took 
her  hand  and  led  her  into  deeper  water  the 
cork  asserted  its  buoyancy  and  Miss  Wilson 
was  suddenly  reversed.  The  minister,  with 
much  difficulty,  placed  her  on  her  feet  again, 
and  rather  snrlilyreqnestinghernot  to  do  that 
again,  began  to  make  a  brief  and  formal  ad- 
dress. Before  he  had  spoken  ten  words, 
Miss  Wilson,  with  a  wild  shriek,  fell  back- 
ward, and  her  cork  leg  shot  swiftly  upon 
the  snrface.  Perhaps  this  is  the  point 
where  a  veil  should  be  dropped.  To  finish 
the  narrative  in  as  few  words  as  possible, 
it  may  be  said  that  after  half  a  dozen  futile 
efforts,  the  attempt  to  baptize  Miss  Wilson 
was  abandoned.  With  all  his  skill  and 
strength,  the  minister  could  not  coimteract 
the  effort  of  the  cork  leg,  and  could  not 
keep  the  convert  right  side  up  long  enongh 
to  baptize  her.  She  bore  it  with  patience 
nntil  the  minister  called  for  a  fifty-six  pound 
wEasht,  with,  a  view  to  ballasting  her.  when 


m 


she  indignantly  scrambled  ashore,  hastened 
home,  aud  subsequently  joined  the  Presby- 
terians. 

We  thus  learn  that  there  are  times  when 
cork  legs  conflict  with  the  most  important 
duties.  The  leg-makers  should  take  a  hint 
from  this  suggestive  incident,  and  devise  a 
light  metallic  leg  wherewith  to  sapply  the 
Baptist  market. 

SCASDAL. 

The  origin  of  this  word  would  have  re- 
mained biiried  iu  the  depths  of  oblivion  had 
it  not  been  for  the  spirit  and  commercial 
enterprize  of  the  ex-grocer's  apprentice  and 
present  tomb-explorer,  Schliemann.  That 
busy  invader  of  the  graves  of  all  the  chief 
personages  present  at  the  siege  of  Troy  has 
lately  discovered  a  bracelet  which,  from  in- 
ternal evidence,  he  declares  to  have  been 
once  the  property  of  a  much  abased 
Greek  lady,  Helen.  Having  submitted 
it  to  several  learned  societies  and  five 
or  six  accomplished  dragomans,  he 
failed  to  obtain  a  satisfactory  explanation 
of  certain  hieroglyphic  characters  scratched 
on  the  inside.  It  is  true  that  one  dragoman 
seemed  disposed  to  give  a  reading,  but  his 
curiosity  as  to  Schliemans's  bankers  and 
the  probable  money  value  of  the  inscrip- 
tions, made,  as  it  were,  a  coolness  between 
the  two.  ScHLlEMANN,  therefore,  set  to  work 
to  unravel  this  intricate  bit  of  writing,  justly 
considering  that  whereas  he,  a  mere  retired 
grocer,  had,  by  pure  inspiration  of  genius, 
laid  his  pick  on  the  tombs  of  those  Ulustri- 
ous  dead  whose  names  had  been  famous  for 
three  thousand  years,  it  were  indeed  strange 
if  a  hieroglyph  should  baulk  him.  Nor  did 
it  long.  Casting  his  gigantic  intellect  on 
the  problem  with  a  concentration  that 
would  have  made  Champollion  shudder,  he 
undid  each  knot  one  by  one,  untU  the  world 
now  basks  in  an  accurate  knowledge  of  the 
very  beginning  of  that  word  of  dread — 
scandal. 

To  scandalize  comes,  Herr  Sohliemann 
was  aware,  from  the  Greek  skandalizein, 
and  that  from  skandaU — a  stumbling-block 
or  trap  to  catch  the  unwary.  But  he  also 
knew  that  the  early  and  original  meaning 
of  skandale  was  the  prop  in  the  trap, 
not  the  trap  itself,  the  piece  of  wood 
that  carried  the  bait,  as  in  a  figure-four 
trap,  and-  which,  when  twitched,  brought 
down  the  trap.  This  much  must  be  pre- 
mised in  order  to  understand  Herr  Schlie- 
UANK'swild  delight  at  the  result  of  the  de- 
ciphering of  the  inscription. 

The  first  hieroglyph  was  a  crescent,  and 
in  this  he  at  once  -recognized  the  cartouche 
of  Helen.  A  crescent  is  the  old  sign  for 
woman,  and  Helena  is  nothing  more  (with 
the  customary  change  of  H  for  S — see 
Grimm's  law)  than  Selene,  Greek  for  the 
moon.  Next  came  two  pieces  of  wood  trans- 
verse. Byaflashof  clairvoyant  power  that 
bridged  the  gap  of  centuries  he  "  twigged  " 
at  once.  Helen  was  cross  as  two  sticks. 
But  why?  Cross  with  whomf  The  next 
rebus  was  easy  to  read;  it  was  the 
figure  of  Hecuba,  her  mother-in-law,  the 
prototype  of  the  Diana  of  the  Ephesians. 
Ha!  ScHLlEMANN  was  warming,  as  the  chil- 
dren say  in  the  game.  Very  natural,  too, 
a  family  jar  between  mother  and  married 
daughter  !  The  rest  came  out  beautifully 
with  the  aid  of  these  clues,  and  revealed  a 
state  of  affairs  in  the  household  of  Priam 
such  as  we  would  not  have  be- 
lieved had  we  read  of  it  in  Ho- 
mer. For  he  was  evidently  partial  to 
the  Greeks,  and  no  fair  witness  in  a 
piece  of  scandal  like  this.  Do  you  ask 
what  the  scandal  was  f  Really,  there  are 
peccadilloes  that  cannot  be  talked  about,  no 
matter  how  innocent  the  persons  may  be 
who  have  been  charged  with  their  commis- 
sion. Let  it  suffice  to  say  that  Hector  was 
iu  it. 

You  see  Hecuba  had  had  her  eye  on 
Helen  for  some  time,  when,  one  day,  on 
passing  the  house  of  Paris,  that  luxurious 
youth  being  then  off  at  the  bath, 
a  shingle  fell  from  the  roof  upon 
her  head.  "  I  will  shingle  you.'' 
cried  Hecuba,  and  rushed  up  stairs  sharp- 
ening the  piece  of  wood  with  the  back  of  a 
fibula  which  Herr  Schliemann  informs  us 
will  be  found  in  his  next  collection. 
Hecuba's  shingle,  or  the  pointed  end  of  it, 
was  the  remote  ancestor  of  our  expres- 
sions "  to  be  after  one  with  a  sharp  stick,'' 
"  a  split  in  the  family,"  &c.  But  its  imme- 
diate descendant  among  the  Greeks,  (always 
a  race  of  sad  ways, )  was  the  word  skandaU  ; 
for  the  piece  of  wood  with  which  she  taught 
Helen  that,  though  she  was  born  in  Greece, 
she  could  not  live  iu  peace  unless  she  mend- 
ed her  morals — that  piece  of  wood,  from  its 
resemblance  to  the  bob  of  a  figure-four 
trap,  started  the  whole  amazing  row 
of  words,  similes,  and  phrases  which 
culminated  in  our  favorite  word.  Prof.  Max 
MuLLER  in  his  forthcoming  eleventh  volume 
of  Snips  from  a  }Vordy  Junk  Shop,  will  advert 
to  this  term  with  a  hearty  commendation  of 
Herr  Sokliemann's  services  to  the  science 
of  language.  He  will  show  how  the  Latin 
scind'i,  to  cut,  correlates  to  the  Greek 
ghindal^,  and  how  these,  as  well  as 
the  German  schinden  and  the  Eng- 
lish skin,  undoubtedly  possess  a  common 
anthropomorphic  ancestor  in  the  obsolete 
skrr!  which  latter  presents  a  remarkable 
example  of  an  onomatopoetie  roof"  for  all 
words  of  tearing  and  gouging.  This  applies 
practically  to  the  noise  made  by  the  finger- 
nails when  furrowing  the  cheeks  of  a  rival, 
or,  figuratively,  to  the  same  scarifying  pro- 
cess when  used  on  reputations.  Our  word 
shin,  and,  more  especially,  the  boys'  game 
called  shinny,  are  manifest  derivations  from 
a  root  that  contains  the  idea  of  bark- 
ing or  depriving  something  of  its  outer 
integument.  There  are  grave  reasons  for 
connecting  with  the  radical  the  vulgar 
word  sheeny,  whereby  a  chosen  race  is  de- 
nominated by  prejudiced  persons  like  Judge 
Hilton,  who  envy  them  their  extraordinary 
business  faculty.  The  old  Erse  term  shitxdy 
may  be  also  mentioned,  but  the  list  is  too  long 
to  continue.  The  reader  is  referred  to  Herr 
Schliemank's  pamphlet,  which  wiU  soon  be 
translated  into  the  modern  languages,  and  to 
the  work  of  Max  MuLLEB.  Meanwhile  some- 
thing is  gained  when  we  have  arrived  at  la^t, 
through  the  arduous  labors  of  these  indefati- 
gable masters  of  research,  at  the  root  of 
all  scandal.

ABE  TRYING  TO  COVER  UP  APPAIRS- 
OOOD  .AD\1CE  FROM  COLLECTOR  FULTON 
From  Our  Oum  Vorrtetumdetit. 

PmLADELPHiA.  Saturday,  Aug.  18.  1877. 

The  statements  made  in  The  Times  of, 
this  morning  relativo  to  irregularities  in  the 
Custora-hotise.  and  more  especially  the  Ap- 
praiser's department,  created  quite  a  sensation 
and  called  forth  a  denial  from  Major  Moore,  the 
-\ppraiscr.  The  orj^ans  of  the  Camerons  hero 
vied  with  each  otlicr  to  see  which  could 
pat  the  cas:;  strongest  and  clear  tbe 
charges  away  ftrst.  Indeed,  the  editors  of  the 
journals  fairly  fell  over  each  other  in  their 
scramble  to  denounce  as  a  falsehood  the  pub> 
lished  statements.  To  fortify  his  position  M«^ 
jor  Moore  produces  a  Oird  signed  by  a  niunbe" 
of  our  best  and  largest  sugar  importers,  which 
states  that  the  sampling  has  not  been  excessive, 
and  immediately  afterward  the  chief  of  the  Ap- 
praiser's dep.artraent  admits  that  permission 
was  given  to  his  subordinates  to  collect  samples 
in  barrels,  and  to  dispose  of  them  afterward  ss 
they  desired.  ^Vhile  these  irre^ilarities  may  not 
ha  veall  come  under  the  .\ppraiser'snotice,and  it  is 
probable  they  did  not,  there  is  no  doubt 
that  they  were  perpetrated  in  the  department. 
The  sequel  to  the  story  Ls  this  :  The  merchants 
C0TUl>lained  last  December  concerning  excessive 
sampling,  and  Collector  Fulton  issued  oriers 
prescribing  how  much  of  each  article  shotild  be 
taken.  Instead  of  pounds,  as  heretofore,  he 
prescribed  oimces.  A  number  of  the  men  vho 
were  engaged  in  this  business  were  discharged, 
but  a  few  managed  to  maintaiu  their  position.^, 
and  now  they  are  beginning  to  Tell  on  each  ■ 
other  in  the  hope  of  being  retained  when  tho 
changes  made  at  the  recorameudatiou  of  the 
commi-s-sion  are  carried  into  effect. 

Collector  Fulton  was  waited  upon  to-<lay.  and 
he  said  that  several  reporters  had  called  upon 
him  in  reference  to  the  revelations  zn&de  by 
The  New-Yokk  Times,  but  that  he  had  not 
read  the  article  yet.  However,  he  would  iiiT. 
(after  a  glance  at  it.)  "  until  the.Coinruissionefs' 
report  is  raade  tbe  newspapers  had  better  not 
deny  the  statements :  he.  as  Collector,  would 
not  attempt  to  deny  anything,  aud  Appraiser 
Moore  had  better  not  denv  too  much."

THE  FEELING  IN  GO.SHEN. 

Goshen,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  IS. — Harvey  Good- 
ale,  County  Superintendent  of  the  Poor,  has 
issued  a  notice  to  all  magistrates,  overators  of 
the  poor,  and  others  concerned,  wamiug  them 
not  to  send  any  more  insane  persons  lo  the 
(bounty  Insane  Asylum,  over  which  he  has  con- 
troL  This  notice  is  the  outcome  of  the  recent 
failure  of  the  Orange  County  Board  of  Super- 
visors to  provide  adequate  accommodations  for 
the  care  of  the  insane  now  at  the  cotinty  asylum, 
a  number  greater  tlian  that  of  the  State  Asylum 
at  Middletown.  A  recent  act  of  the  Le^sLiture 
gave  the  county  authorities  power  to  accept 
patients  of  this  kind  from  the  adjoining 
Ceunries  of  Rockland.  Ulster,  and  5>uUivan.  and 
these  have  found  it  very  convenient  to  placo 
their  insane  in  Orange's  asylum ;  Ijesides.  they 
have  assisted  greatly  to  make  it  self-sustaining. 
The  refusal  of  the  Supervisors  to  provide  tho 
necessary  accommodations  has.  therefore,  not 
only  prevented  the  adjoining  counties  from 
avsoling  themselves  of  the  privileges  ac- 
corded by  the  legislative  act,  but 
has  also  created  a  deep  feeding  of 
disapproval  from  the  tax-pay.  .* '  of 
the  county.  The  Superiutendeut  says  that  hs 
will  receive 'no  wore  chronic  cases,  but  ali  acute 
cases  properly  char^^^bie  to  the  countj*  he  will 
take  charge  of  and  care  for  them  in  State 
institutions  provided  for  that  class.  The  Su- 
perintendent abM.»  says  that  he  c<m.siders  his 
public  notice  sufficient  to  absolve  him  from  all 
blame  and  responsibility  that  may  arise  from 
scandal  or  catastrophe  from  the  present  over- 
crowded condition  of  the  count)-  a-sylum. 

In  some  quarters  there  is  a  strone:  feeling 
agriinst  the  tsupervisors  for  their  refusal  to  pro- 
vide tho  prJper  accommodations,  aud  it  is 
charged  that  the  failure  is  simply  due  to  the 
closeness  of  the  board  which  they  have  ex- 
hibited from  time  immenn'rial.  On  tbe  other 
hand,  it  is  alleged  that  the  Superintendent  is 
verj*  extravagant  at  the  County-house  ;  that 
his  account  is  overdra\vn  about  $:iri.O0O.  and 
that  the  annual  appropriation  this  year,  which 
will  probably  be  about  $7.0t>0,  \rill  have  to  be 
doubled  for  the  improvements  asked  for  by 
him.

Alb.\NY,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  IS*. — The'Senatfl 
met  at  10  o'clock.  A  communication  from  the 
Governor  was  received  stating  he  had  no 
further  business  fur  them.  The  injunction  of 
secrecy  was  removed  from  the  proceedings  of 
the  Ellis  trial.  Senator  Jacobs  moved  that  the 
next  Legislature  be  requested  to  pay  Mr.  Ellis 
his  expenses  for  defending  himself  from  the 
bank  fund.  The  motion  was  opposed  by  Mr. 
Gerard  as  out  of  the  proper  province  of  this  ses- 
sion, aud  for  the  reason  that  it  would  be  a  stulti- 
fication of  itself  after  removing  tbe  officer  for 
incompetency,  and  woidd  be  a  rirtual  indorse- 
ment thereof.  Jlr.  Harris  moved  to  lay  the 
motion  on  the  table  as  uncalled  for.  aud  for  the 
same  reasons  as  given  by  Mr.  Gerard.  Mr. 
Jacobs  tinallv  withdrew  the  motion.  At  11 
o'clock  the  Senate  voted  to  adjourn  sine  die. 
Lieut.-Gov.  Dorsheimer,  before  announcing  the 
vote,  said  : 

Senators  :  I  will  not  detain  you  by  any  fonoal

ALLEGED  ISSULT  TO  TBE  FLAG. 

Boston,  Aug.  IS. — A  letter  received 
from  the  Captain  of  the  schooner  Edward  Lee, 
of  Provincetown.  by  his  mother,  dated  March, 
gives  the  following  facts :  '"  Sailed  from 
Provincetown  Feb.  5,  nothing  unusual  occur- 
ring to  cause  any  deviation  of  a  voyage  from 
that  usually  ptirsued  by  whaling  vessels  until 
arriving  at  and  while  crusing  oflf  the  south  side 
of  Cuba,  when  the  look-out  reported  a  vessel 
close  in  to  land  changing  her  course,  and  coming 
toward  them.  Wheu  within  range  the  vessel, 
showing  the  Spanish  flag,  without  any  warning 
whatever,  sent  up  a  cloud  of  smoke,  followed 
by  a  report^  and  then  there  was  an  exi>lo8ion  of 
a  shell  just  clear  of  them  astern,  which  was 
followed  by  another  of  grape-shot  Capt.  At- 
kins immediately  crowded  on  all  sail  ■  and 
showed  the  sailing  quiUities  of  his  vessel,  the 
Spaniard  keeping  up  a  running  lire  of  solid 
shot.  The  chase  was  kept  up  for  some  time, 
but  finally  abandoned.  Capt.  Atkins  sought 
other  whaling  grounds,  and  the  prospect  is  that 
he  n'ill  be  obliged  to  remain  out  a  year  lonser. 
He  has  already  sent  for  provisions  and  .supplies 
to  be  shipped  to  meet  him  at  Western  Islands.*' 

WHY  A  CASHIER  COMMITTED  SUICIDE. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  IS. — A  special 
from  "Westminster.  Md„  accounting  for  the  sui- 
cide of  A.  D.  Schaeffer,  Cashier  of  the  Farmers' 
and  Mechanics'  National  Bank  of  Westminster, 
on  Tuesday  last,  says:  ''The  investigation  of 
affairs  at  the  Farmers*  and  Mechanics'  National 
Bank  has  concluded.  The  law  of  the  United 
States  governing  national  banks  forbids  tlie 
taking  of  indorsed  paper  to  the  extent  of  more 
than  one-tenth  of  its  capitaL  The  capital  oC 
this  bank  is  $75,000,  and  one  tenth  would  b« 
$7,5O0.  The  Cashier  took  indorsed  paper  t«> 
the  extent  of  many  thousand  dollars  above  this 
amount.  When  the  Bank  Examiner,  Mr.  Adams, 
made  his  unexpected  appearance  on  Monday 
evening  last,  the  knowledge  of  this  overstepping 
of  the  law,  and  the  fear  of  exposure  and  possi- 
ble punishment,  and  the  consequent  loss  of  con-

people  had  gathered  in  considerable  numbers  to 
greet  him,  and  when  he  appeared  upon  the  plat- 
form of  Grov.  Smith's  private  car,  men,  women, 
and  children  pressed  forward,  and  were  accorded 
%Ii-a4dience  and  a  shake  of  the  hand.    Mrs. 
HttTes  stood  at  the  entrance  to  the  car,  and

^  ^raiting  for  tha  train  to  start  the  President  ad- 
dressed the  assembly*  who  listened  to  his  re- 
marks with  the  closest  attention.    He  spoke  as 
follows :

to  s-nv  whr.t  X  have  liitberto  omitted,  and  if  you,  »riU 
Ifindlr  permit  me  to  speak  two  or  three  sentences  I 
siiaJi  0©  glad  to  receive  your  attention.  Xo  language 
is  too  warm  or  too  strong  to  express  my  gratitude  for 
the  wrdial  rect'plion  which  you  have  given  mo  and 
my  famllr  in  Brsttleboro.  if  y  family,  or  rather  the 
Hftyes  fatDily,  came  to  Brattlehoro  abont  100  years 
ago :  I  do  not  know  the  exact  date.  My  grandfather 
waii  a  blacksmith — the  only  one  here.  I  think,  when 
he  came — .-i^d  the  people  welcomed  him  cordially, 
S3  tbey  fclvTays  do  so  important  a  personaf^e  as  the 
viJiiige  Viacksinitft  in  n  irewly -settled  community.

11  year^  43  years  ago.  I  first  came  to  this  place  on 
R  viMt  to  my  uncle  John,  who  then  lived  in

But  I  am  extending  my  remarks  beyond  two  or 
thre*?  sentences,  and  so  must  close  by  a^aiu  thanldng

The  remarks  of  the  Frosiaent  were  r^ctived 
with  cheers.  The  band  discoursed  airs  familiar 
to  the  President,  who  therereupon  remarked 
ihat  in  th'J*  n  spt^t  the  baud  exceeded  any  other 
he  had  beard  in  the  State.  Hand-shaking  was 
renewed,  iathevs  holding  u  %  their  children,  and

merous bouquets  from  the  ladies  of  Brattleboro. 
a  large  number  of  whom.  %vith  the  leading  gen- 
tlemen of  the  town,  accompanied  the  President 
a¥  far  a?  Bellow*'  Fulls  in  a  special  ear  attached 
to  the  train. 

At  the  close  of  the  formalities  of  the  recep- 
tion the  President  retired  to  tho  piazza,  and, 
after  resting  a  moment,  addressed  the  assembly 
asfoli'jws: 

I  will  speak  a  few  words  to  the  people  with  whom 
I  bavtr  bcea  shnkiug  hands..  We  never  feel  quite  well 
RC^ainttd  with  any  one  until  we  have  heard  each 
other  s  voices,  and  havine  an  opportunity  to 
m:;ko  the  acquaintance  of  the  people  of  this 
nio<!T  deiightfai  part  of  ihe  United  States,  we  want  to 
caJk  a  little.  I  do  not  intend  to  say  much  myself,  but 
to  call  upon  several  gentlemen  who  are  *  aasoei- 
Kied  with  iiio  :u  the  <3ovemmt?nt.  wl)gni  you 
win  be  gkid  to  hfar.  To  begin  with,  I 
chill  call  upnu  tlie  gentleman  who  conducts  the 
sorr^'ipondence  with  foreign  Government.^,  and  who 
wr;t?s  ibe  hiich-sotmding  words  in  the  documents  to 
which  I  X'"^  ™y  sifi^iature.  If  yon  ever  see 
my  nam©  under  such  documents  you  must 
bear  in  mind  that  they  were  written  by  your  neigh- 
bor. I  hope  he  is  neUihborly.  I  will  now  introduce 
Mr.  Ev&rts,  the  Secretary  of  State  of  the  United 
States. 

3Ir.  Evarts.  in  response  to  the  call*' of  the 
Pre-iident,  said: 

When  the  President  and  Mrs.  Hayes  and  family 
proposed,  to  do  me  the  honor  of  \TJBiting  me  in 
my  borne  in  this  State,  I  felt  that  my 
neighbors  would  also  appreciate  the  honors 
pnd  be  glad  to  see  the  President  and  his 
charming  asd  CTaceful  wife.  It  has  been  a  long  time 
iinc&  the  peopla  of  this  section  had  the  opportnntty 
of  me«tiii£:  a  President  who  spent  any  considerable 
time  among  them.  President  Urantpassedtliron^b  on 
a  tmin,  but  made  no  atop.  More  than 
50  yeoTS  &^o  a  President  (Monroe )  mnd« 
1  tour  through  thw  section,  which  was 
not  so  thickly  8ettle<i  as  it  is  now 
Z  have  no  doubt  that  vou  believed  the  Pre«ident 
vrben  be  said  tbat  I  used  raora  hiich-BOtznding  words 
ilioa  were  neces,sary.  It  is  not  from  choice 
tbat  I  do  thia.  but  because  this  la  a  great 
nation,  and  we  want  .to  nse  as  uirge 
words  as  other  natiottS  do,  and  whererer  you 
4ee  these  hi^h-sonnding  phrases  yon  will  bear  in 
mind  that  it  is  the  speaking  trumpet  to  be 
heard  across  the  Atlantic  Xow,  it  is  not  so 
much  to  9peak  myself  as  to  call  upon  oth- 
ers to  speak  that  I  have  responded  to 
the  call  of  the  President,  for  yon  can  always  hear 
£rom  me.  I  shall  therefore,  introduce  a  gentleman 
whom  you  will  all  respect  with  whom  we  are  in 
(lerfect  accord,  and  in  whom  we  have  that 
mtire  confidence  which  in  the  olden  time 
beloni^ed  to  ail  pn'blic  men  of  all  sections  of  the  United 
States,  and  which  should  now  be  felt,  and  Is  felt,  in 
Ihe  hearts  of  the  people  Xorth  and  ^uth.  Since  we 
are  one  people,  tiie  relations  of  which  aare  never 
to  be  disttirbed  nor  its  confidence  shaken,  we  ar«  no 
longer  to  hear  about  one-half  the  country  goremise 
the  other  half.  In  order  to  prevent  that  other  half 
trom  eoveming  it  we  artf  to  hear  only  of  one 
GoTcmment  for  one  nation  wtiicb  oar  fathers  fottght 
to  eatablisb.  and  we  have  fought  to  preserve.  I  have 
now  the  pleasure  of  introdncing  Postmaster-General 
Sey,  of  Tennessee. 

On  coming  forward,  (Jen.  Kev  was  greeted  in 
a  most  enthusiastic  manner.     Q.e  said  : 

My  friends,  I  should  not  tell  you  the  truth  If  I 
Bhotild  say  that  I  appear  before  yon  without  a  feel- 
m^of  embarrassment,  having  come  from  a  section 
of  the  country  remote  &om  this — ^for  this  is 
a  large  country,  ifetween  it  and  Xew-England 
I:  always  appeared  to  me  that  there  was  a  strong  an- 
tagonism. 1  thought  I  wotild  come  up  and  heln  cel- 
ebrate the  battl*  of  Bennington.  I  remembered 
that  the  people  of  Vermont,  New-Hampshire. 
rnd  South  CaroUna  met  side  by  side  m  the 
l-attloSeld.  and  In  convention  to  frame  a  Constitution, 
tut  slavery  led  to  distracting  conse^^uences.  New-Eng- 
land was  the  cradle  of  liberty,  the  citadel  of  hberty, 
wriile  the  South  aad  an  interest  in  the  perpetuation 
(^f-slavery.  That  qnestion  is  settled,  and  to-cay  New- 
Epclanti'Meas  prevail  in  the  South,  so  that  all  the 
people  of  the  South  are  as  free  as  you  are.  and  that 
gulf  which  separsied  tis  is  closed,  and  I  hope 
ihe  time  has  arrived  when  we  shall  no  longer  feel 
th-tt  there  is  any  ^iorth  or  South,  but  that  we  have 
ime  country,  wnich  is  inseparable.     [Loud  Cheers.]

L'f  Louisiana,  was  then  preserrted  by  the  Presi-

;  President  Hayes  then  remarked  that  the  meet^ 
Inz  would  now  stand  adjourned  until  some  other 
Bimilar  occasion  occtured  for  reassembling. 

Three  strong  and  enthusiastic  cheers  were 
tiven  by  the  crowd  for  President  Hayes,  for 
Postmaster-t5enerai  Key,  for  Attorney -General 
I)evens,  for  Secretary  of  State  Evarts,  and 
Tor  Mrs,  Hayes,  and  for  our  country.  The 
band  played*"  The  Sweet  Bye  and  Bye,''  and 
hundreds  of  voices  took  up  tne  refrain.

THE  WORKING  MEN'S  PARTY  SPLIT. 


THE     OHIO    GBANGiaiS     DISSATISFIED     WITH 
THE    CINCINNATI    PLATFORM  AND  NOMI- 
NEES—A EIVAL  CONVENTION  CALLED. 
Special Dtspatek  to  Ou  yne-TorIt  Time*, 

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  18. — The  Grangers 
of  the  central  and  northern  part  of  the  State, 
and  the  real  and  only  great  streng^  of  the 
"Working  Men's  Party  of  the  State, 
have  taken  decided  stand  a^rainst 
the  Cincinnati  nominees  and  platform. 
The  nominees,  they  say,  are  not  working  men, 
as  that  term  is  generally  understood,  but  all  of 
them  professional  gentlemen  ;  and  as  to  the 
platform,  the  rabid  Commtinlstic  sentiments  ex- 
pressed in  it  do  not  find  any  favor  with  them. 
A  convention  has  been  called  to  meet  in 
Columbus,  Ohio,  on  the  13th  of  September, 
when  it  is  desired  to  put  some  active  farmer  at 
they  claim,  being  a  real  working  man.  A  rep- 
the  head  of  the  ticket,  a  man  of  this  occupation, 
resentative  of  this  faction  has  waited  upon  the 
nominees  of  the  present  State  ticket,  requested 
them  to  resign,  and  to  join  in  '  with  the 
Columbus  movement.  They  all  refused,  and 
the  candidate  for  Governor.  Colbond,  intends 
to  open  the  campaign  immediately,  fearing  fur- 
ther disaffection  nnless  herculean  efforts  are 
made  to  stop  it.  If  this  split  be  not  healed  it 
ruins  the  sUght  chance  the  Working  Men's  Party 
had  for  success.

From  Our  Own  Oorre^pontUnL 

PHIL.ADELPHIA,  Saturday,  Aug.  18,  1877. 

After  a  session  lasting  nearly  all  of  yes- 
terday with  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Railroad  Company,  Col.  Scott  to-day 
agreed  to  give  audience  to  the  members  of  the 
sub-committee  of  the  Maritime  Exchange,  who 
desired  to  ascertain  what  that  railroad  company 
would  do  concerning  their  claims  for  freight 
destroyed  while  in  transit  over  the  road  at  Pitts- 
burg. I'he  committee  composed  Messrs.  Theodore 
Justice,  William  Brockie,  Watson  Malone,  and 
C.  H.  Cumraingy.  It  will  be  seen  by  the  fol- 
lowing circular,  whirh  is  one  of  the  results  of 
the  meeting  yesterday,  and  copies  of  which 
were  handed  to  the  committee  by  Col.  Scott. 
that  the  managers  of  the  road  will  at  least 
make  some  cheap  effort  to  get  rid  of  the 
responsibility  of  the  loss.  The  circular,  which 
is  of  great  importance  to  merchants,  is  as  fol- 
lows: 

"  Parties  having  claims  for  goods  deatroved  by  mob

said  county  without  expense  to  the  claimant,  the  said 
county  being  responsible  to  the  owners  of  said  goods 
lor  such  loss.  If  it  should  be  necessary  to  Institute 
suit  8ffain.st  the  county,  such  suit  will  be  prosecuted 
,  by  counsel,  without  charge,  upon  the  execution  of 
the  proper  ^wer  of  attorney  for  that  purpose,  form 
of  which  will  be  fumiehed- 

Firtt — The  name  and  place  of  residence  of  the

goods  described  therein  were  deliv^jred  to  the  com- 
pany whicn  issued  the  bill  of  lading,  and  that  the  i>ur- 
chase  price  of  the  goods  named  tlierein  was  the  true 
price  paid  or  agreed  to  be  paid  therefor. 

Fourth — AflSdavit  of  conrignee  that  he  never  re- 
ceived the  goods,  nor  any  part  of  them. 

"  Upon  the  above  evidence  being  furnished  by  the 
claimant,  the  general  freight  agent  will  supplement 
it  by  obtaining  an  affiilavit  of  the  clerk  of  the  com- 
pany issuing  the  billof  lading,  showing  the  date  and 
nmuber  of  car  in  which  the  goods  were  ihipped.  and

Company  showing  the  arrival  of  such  car  in  the  com- 
pany's yard  in  Pittaburg.  and  the  destruction  of  said 
goods,  and  the  amount  of  freight  and  charges  due 
thereon." 

The  conference  lasted  some  two  hours,  but 
beyond  explaining  the  circular  minutely, 
nothing  was  done,  and  an  adjoomment  was 
had  until  next  Tuesday,  when  the  committee 
will  meet  Messrs.  X.  Parker  Shortridge.  .Sam- 
uel M.  Felton.  and  Wistar  Morris,  members  of 
the  board,  along  with  Col.  Scott,  at  which  time 
a  full  discussion  will  he  had.

coKVEjrrioN. 

Harrisburo,  Penn.,  Aug.  IS. — Owing  to 
the  inconvenience  and  loss  suffered  by  many  of 
the  oflScers  and  men  of  the  National  Guard  when 
called,  into  service  by  entire  divisions,  and  the 
loss  to  the  State  incurred  for  transportation  by 
the  necessity  of  frequently  relieving  one  divis- 
ion by  another,  and  to  avoid  the  necessity  of 
pt2rchasing  equipments  for  all  the  troops,  and 
the  pay  of  supernumerary  officers,  the  Governor 
has  decided  to  relieve  all  the  State  troops  now 
in  service  by  a  force  organized  from  the  present 
guard,  from  the  of&cers  and  men,  who  are  able 
and  willing  to  volunteer  for  the  present  emer- 
gency. The  Governor  had  concluded  to  relieve 
most  of  the  State  troops  this  week,  but  the 
threatening  aspect  in  the  mining  regions  has 
led  to  a  change  of  programme.  At  a  conference 
last  night  between  the  Governor  and  Adjutant- 
General  a  general  order  was  drafted  calling  for 
two  regiments  of  10  companies  each  of  volun- 
teers from  the  present  National  Guard,  to  serve 
for  three  months.

ing that  conventions  be  held  in  the  several 
counties  to  nominate  county  officers  and  estab- 
lish Industrial  Union  clubs  in  every  township 
and  voting  precinct,  and  that  they  select  one 
delegate  to  the  State  Convention  to  be  held  in 
this  city  Sept  13,  to  adopt  a  platform  and  nom- 
inate State  officers. 

Philadelphia.  Aug.  18. — ^Nine  men.  all  for-

who  would  not  embezzle  the  funds  which  they 
had  collected  from  passengers,  and  divide  with 
him.  The  case  came  on  for  examination  before 
a  Justice  of  the  Peace,  but  was  continued  after  it 
was  fairly  opened.  More  men  are  to  be  arrested, 
and  the  case  promises  to  be  one  of  considerable 
magnitude  and  interest. 

A  DISTRESSING  ACCIDENT. 
apeeiaX  IH^fateh  to  the  Nea-York  Timet, 

Habtfoed,  Conn.,  Aug.  18.— Ei-Iieut.- 
Gov.  Sill's  son,  aged  15  years,  met  with  a  ter- 
rible accident  at  Stony  Creek  to-day.  He  had 
been  there  several  days  for  a  sea-side  trip,  and 
had  daily  boarded  trains  on  the  Shore  Line 
Road  to  see  if  he  knew  any  of  the  passengers 
from  Hartford.  While  attempting  to  get  oflf  a 
train  after  it  had  started,  he  swung  against  a 
brakeman,  who  was  getting  on  from  the  det>ot 
platform,  and  was  knocked  under  the  wheels, 
which  paased  over  and  crushed  his  legs  at  the 
ankles  so  that  it  was  necessary  to  amputate  both. 
He  wafl  brought  home  on  a  special  Ixain.

The  annual  illumination  of  Oak  Bluffs  took

ON  THE  SCIUECT — ^MR.  DAVID  KLEIN'S 
VIEWS  IN  SUPPORT  OP  THE  PRACTICE — 
THE  POLISH  JEWS  AND  WHERE  THEY 
WORSHIP. 
Some  of  the  prominent  Jews  of  this  City,  of 
the  claas  which  is  represented  by  the  Jewish  Me*- 
»enger,  have  been  greatly  exercised  lately  by  the  free- 
dom with  which  cert&in  rz^bbis  and  other  Hebrews  of 
importance  with  their  people  among  the  Polish 
Jews,  and  tho  other  noorer  classes  of  Israelites  in 
the  districts  on  the  east  side  of  this  City,  marry  and 
divorce  members  of  theh:  congregations  without  re- 
gard to  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  York,  or  indeed 
to  any  other  laws  In  existence  in  this  country.  In 
the  story  of  the  arrest  of  one  Caesar  Bloch,  an  Al- 
satian Jew,  with  an  alias,  for  bigamy,  which  was 
printed  in  the  newspapers  a  few  days  ago,  this  free- 
dom in  the  interpretation  of  Jewish  law  in  a  conntry 
where  that  law  is  ndmitttid  by  all  well-educatod  He- 
brews to  be  inferior  to  State  law,  was  well  illustrat- 
ed. This  man,  according  to  the  evidence  against 
him,  obtained  a  divorce  from  one  wife  without 
her  knowledge  on  the  payment  of  $5  to  one  fcs. 
Levy,  and  waa  immodiately  married  to  another 
woman  by  a  Bleecker-street  rabbi,  who,  it  is  proba- 
ble, was  equally  moderate  in  his  charges.  All  re- 
monstrance with  these  neople  Is  in  vain.  They  have 
been  taught  that  the  old  Jewish  law  Is  superior  to  all 
other  laws,  and  they  have  been  taught  little  else  ; 
and  any  one  of  their  people  with  knowledge  enough 
of  Hebrew  to  recite  a  few  passages  of  the  Talmud  is 
looked  up  to  as  a  leader  who  has  Inherited  from  the 
God  of  Moses  the  right  to  interpret  the  laws. 

Mr.  I.  S.  Isaacs,  a  well-known  young  lawyer  of  this 
City,  and  one  of  the  editors  of  the  Jetrigk  Messenger, 
iu  conversation  with  a  Times  reporter  on  Friday, 
said  that  the  ignorance  of  the  Polish  Jews,  and  of 
many  Israelites  of  other  nationalities  who  live  in  the 
densely  populated  wards  on  the  east  side  of  this  City, 
was  lamentable,  and  it  was  unfortunate,  he  said,  in 
his  opinion,  that  tho  Jewish  Church  in  this  country 
had  no  ecclesiastical  board  to  govern  the  whole  body, 
and  to  decide  important  questions.  Such  a 
body,  he  said,  was  possessed  by  nearly  all 
the  Christian  denominations,  and  was  an  ab- 
solute necessity  to  the  Jewish  Church. 
It  would  come  into  existence  as  the  Church  advanced. 
The  Jewish  Church  in  .\inerica,  he  said,  was  really  in 
its  infancy.  Thore  was  only  one  con^ecation  which 
had  been  In  existt-nce  for  mon-  than  50  years,  and  that 
WHS  the  Portuguese  congregation  of  tlie  Nineteenth- 
Street  Syiiag(^:ue,  of  which  the  late  Julius  J.  Lyons 
was  the  rabbi.  In  regard  to  the  freetlom  with  which 
the  eastaide  rabbi.s  performed  tlie  marriage  cere- 
mony, he  said  that  what  tliey  did  was  consonant 
with  the  laws  of  the  Jewish  Church,  which  recog- 
nized any  marriage  as  valid  when  it  was  performed  in 
the  presence  of  witnesses  ;  and  when  a  certificate  was 
filed  with  the  Registrar  of  Vital  Statistics,  the  laws  of 
the  State  of  New- York  were  complied  with.  "  But," 
said  Mr.  Isaacs,  "  the  old  divorce  laws  of  the  Jewish 
Church  have  never  been  abrogated  by  a  council  of 
rabbis.  Such  a  cotmeU  alone  has  the  power  to  abro- 
gate laws  in  the  Jewish  Church  ;  but  among  tho  Jews 
in  the  United  States  these  laws  have  no  force  supo- 
rioi  to  the  State  laws.  or.  at  lea»(t.  they  ought  not  to 
have."  In  certain  European  countries,  he  saitl, 
these  laws  were  reco^rnized  by  the  Govenimcnts. 
Indeed,  if  a  man  immigrated  to  this  country 
leaving  a  wife  behind  Iiim,  and.  wishing  to  marn.- 
another  woman,  sent  back  to  Europe  a  bill  of  divorce 
properly  made  up  aud^st^ed  by  a  rabbi,  bia  new 
marriage  was  sanctioned  by  the  Jews.  Mr.  Isaacs 
Bfud  that  the  men  who  had  recently  been  so  promis- 
cuously divorcing  members  of  their  congregations 
and  outraging  all  common  decency  were  not  rabbis 
at  all,  but  merely  the  head  men  In  some  of  the  many 
hundreds  of  sodeties  of  Jews  on  the  east  side  of  the 
City.  Perhaps  they  were  sometimes  ignorant  of  the 
State  law.  and  their  followers,  he  thought,  nearly 
always  were.  He  said  that  the  evil  would  correct 
itself  with  education,  and  tliat  the  poorer  cla-sses  nf 
Jews  in  America  would  become  more  enlightu-ntd 
under  the  ministrations  of  rabbis  and  Jewish  preach- 
ers of  American  birth  and  education  whose  advent  in 
the  synagogutjs  was  a  certainty  in  the  near  future. 

Mr.  I>KV!d  Klein,  ii  person  of  no  little  importance 
amone  the  German.  Russian,  and  Polish  Jews  in  thi^t 
City,  livee  and  has  bin  office  on  Cunal-Hlreet,  not  far

sian    by    birth ;      a    lawyer 

couutrj' ;     put     that     down.  I     mar:n-   people 

here,"  contined  Mr.  Klein,  "for  nothing;  I  perform 
religious  offices  for  poor  per?»ons,  and  I  charge  them 
nothimt."  When  questioned  in  regard  to  the  mut- 
ter of  divoTces.  Mr.  Iviein  said  that  under  the  Jewi.»;ii 
law  he  granted  articles  of  separation  to  people  of  his 
own  faith,  and  if  each  of  the  parties  agreed  that  tlie 
other  should  marry  again,  who,  Mr.  Klein  wanted  to 
know,  waa  there  to^reveni  their  so  marryinc  J  Ho 
was  a  lawyer,  he  said,  and  he  understood  aU  law. 
and  sevt^n  languages,  but  he  considered  the  JewLsh 
law  superior  to  all  others. 

Mr.  Klein  read  carefully  an  extract  from  a  Jewish 
journal  published  in  this  City,  condeuininir  the  verj- 
practice  which  he  commend(-<l.  He  said  that  he  diS 
not  aCTee  with  the  writer  uf  that  article.  "A  Jewi-h 
Kabbi,"  he  said,  "has  a  right,  under  the  Jewish  law 
iu  Poland,  in  Germany,  in  KuRsiii,  in  Holland,  in  Je- 
rusalem— whence  we  were  driven,  but  where  we  all 
expect  to  go  again  to  our  Temjple  which  will  be  re- 
built— to  do  these  tilings."  £fe  said  there  were 
about  50.000  Polish,  Russian,  and  German 
Jews  of  the  poorer  clm*ses  in  Now-York- 
Some  of  them,  he  said,  belonged  to  tho 
larger  synagogues,  but  most  of  them  kept  together, 
and  had  their  own  burial  grounds  in  fyiinis  Hills 
and  other  cemeteries,  and  their  own  places  of  wor- 
Ehip.  as  commodious  as  they  could  afford.  They  had 
two  synagogues,  Mr.  Klein  said,  on  Bayard -street, 
two  on  Chr>'Rtie-street,  one  on  Henry-street,  one  on 
Catharine-street,  three  or  tour  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Hester  and  Ludlow  streets,  ona  on  Orehard- street, 
between  Heater  and  Grand  streets,  one  ou  Attorney- 
street,  and  no  less  than  12  on  East  Broadway,  be- 
tween Catharine  and  Market  streets,  on  either 
side  of  the  wav.  The  acknowledged  leader  of  all 
these  people,  Mr.  Klein  said,  was  Rabbi  Abraham 
Josephs,  aPole,of  Ludlow  and  Hester  streets,  who  was 
frequently  appealed  to  to  act  as  arbitrator  in  matters 
of  dispute  ;  and  his  title,  be  thought,  was  granted  to 
nim  by  ahigher  Power  than  any  m  the  world.  D. . 
Moses  Maisner,  of  Henry  street.  Mr.  Klein  said,  was 
another  rabbi  who  was  held  high  iu  the  estimation  of 
these  Israehtes. 

The  Polish  Jews  dwelt.  Mr.  Klein  said,  for 
the  most  part,  in  such  thicklv  populated 
neighborhoods  as  Ludlow  and  Essex  streets,  Madison 
anil  Bayard  streets,  and  East  Broadwav,  and  tliere 
were  many  of  them  in  Baxter-street,  /n  regard  to 
the  proselj-ting  of  Christians,  Mr.  Klein  said  mat  he 
dtd  not  beUeve  that  a  Gentile  should  be  admitted  to 
the  privileges  of  the  Jewish  faith  unless  he 
[the  Gentile]  beUeved  that  his  salvation  de- 
pended upon  such  a  change  of  creed,  but  if  the 
object  of  the  Christian's  desire  to  become 
a  Jew  was  to  wed  a  Je^vish  maiden.  Mr.  Klein 
seemed  to  think  that  that  amuunted  to  the  same 
thing,  and.  no  obstacles  being  put  in  the  way,  the 
love-lorn  Gentile,  seeking  salvation  iu  a  woman, 
should  be  admitted  to  the  tribes  of  Israel.  One 
question  !JIr.  Klein  disposed  of  astutely.  Asked  if  iu 
the  case  of  a  man  and  womau,  married  In  a 
Christian  church,  and  nnable  to  obtain  a  di- 
vorce under  State  laws,  whether  he  would 
favor  their  admission  to  the  Jewish  Church  if 
thev  desired  to  be  admitted  for  the  sole  purpose  of 
obtaining  such  a  divorce,  Mr.  Klein  replied  that  if 
they  were  admitted  to  the  Jewish  Church  there 
would  be  no  divorce  needed;  the  man  and  the  woman 
would  boti  be  given  new  names,  and  even  if  they 
wished  to  continue  their  marriage  relation  they 
wotild  have  to  be  remarried,  according  to  the  JewiMi 
tenets.  "Now,"  said  Mr.  Klein,  "rettiming  to  the 
main  subject,  If  a  man  and  a  woman  live  luihappilv 
together  their  bonds  should  be  broken.  What  shall 
they  do  f  Go  to  a  lawyer  ?  Well,  he  charges  them 
$50 ;  then  their  case  Is  put  before  a  Referee,  and  be 
charges  another  $50,  and  then  they  have  to  wait  for 
the  Judge's  decision.  These  people  are  ^or.  They 
can't  afford  this  money.  And  after  this  is  nil  over, 
in  the  Jewish  faith,  they  have  to  appeal  to  the 
higher  law,  the  anthority  of  the  Church.  Why  not 
do  that  at  once!" 

A  pretty  fair  idea  of  the  sort  of  people  these 
Polish  Jews  are,  may  be  gained  by  an  evening  stroU 
throtigh  the  savory  neighborhoods  in  whicJi  they 
dwelL  Their  Sabbath  services  are  often  held  In  bed- 
rooms in  tenement-houses  :  such  places,  indeed,  are 
Included  in  the  long  list  of  their  "  synagogues"  pre- 
sented by  Mr.  Klein.  The  Minister,  with  a  dingy 
cloth  thrown  over  bis  shoulders,  chants  in  Hebrew, 
or  something  like  it,  the  ser^-ice,  and  his  handful 
of  hearers  respond  with  fervor,  if  n^t  with 
understanding.  Two  of  their  most  important  placea 
of  worship  are  what  are  known  as  the  little  Chrystle- 
■treet  and  big  Chrystie  street  synagc^ea.  The  lat- 
ter, the  Temple  Beth  Israel  Bikur  ChoHm,  is  the  least 
important  of  the  two.  It  is  a  regular  church  struc- 
ture, in  a  state  of  more  or  less  dilapidation,  with  a

SOMETHING  LTKK  A  TORNADO  SWEEPS 
THROUGH  HARTFORD — A  HOUSE  STRUCK 
BV  LIGHTNING. 

Special  Dispatch  to  the  yetr-  York  T%meM. 
Haetford,  Conn.,  Aug.  1 8. — The  heaviest 
rain  storm  of  many  years,  considering  its  dura- 
tion, occurredherethisaft«moon.  Rain  began  to 
pour  about  1  o'clock,  and  for  over  an  hour 
poured  in  torrents,  amid  deep  peals  of  thunder 
and  terriflc  flashes  of  lightning.  As  the  storm 
progressed  the  wind  grew  in  violence,  and  did 
much  damage,  tearing  down  awnings  and 
branches  of  trees.  Several  trees  in  Bushnell 
Park  were  leveled  to  the  ground,  and  for  a  con- 
siderable distance  in  a  straight  line  south  from 
the  park,  and  covering  a  space  several  rods 
wide,  there  was  a  sweeping  gale,  which 
some  people  who  encountered  it  describe 
as  having  tlie  appearance  of  a  whirling  mass  of 
black  clouds,  which,  as  it  pa«sed.  enveloped 
everythlug  in  darkness.  This  tornado  tore 
down  shrubbery  in  door-yards,  stripped  trees  of 
their  leaves,  and  iu  one  instance  broke  off  at  its 
trunk  a  good-sized  apple  tree,  having  upon  it 
many  bushels  of  apples.  Many  cellars  in  vari- 
ous parts  of  the  city  were  Hooded.  Tho  Park 
River,  which  had  been  very  dr>-.  v.as  speedily 
filled  to  its  bank's  edge.  The  lightning  played 
so  vividly.,  and  was  so  constant,  that 
it  was  supposed  considerable  damago 
would  result  from  it,  but  the  only  place 
so  fur  reported  as  having  been  Ktruck  is  tho 
residence  of  Gen.  h.  A.  Dickinson,  in  the  nortli 
part  of  the  city.  No  one  was  hurt,  though  all 
the  inmateii  of  the  house  felt  the  shock  and 
were  alarmed  by  it.  The  electric  tltiid  eutenid 
several  upper  rooms,  and  played  queer  pranks. 
One  of  the  oldest  eitizens  says  he  remembers  no 
storm  80  severe  in  45  years  since  he  has  lived 
here,  though  in  1869  the  great  rain-tlood  stonu 
did  more  (himage,  but  it  was  of  much  longer 
duration.

MINCING-LANE  MARKETS COTTON   MILLS 

RUNNING  ON  SUORT  TIME. 

London,  Aug.  Iti. — The  Economist  says: 
**  Gold  having  continued  to  flow  from  the  bank, 
and  a  rise  in  the  rate  having  been  expected,  the 
market  rates  of  discount  have  further  risen. 
Until  Thursday  they  were  close  upon  2  per 
cent,  and  even  then  subject  to  enhancement 
should  tho  bank  rate  be  raised,  but  an 
no  ri.s©  was  made  quotations  are  easier, 
at  1  liS-lG  per  cent,  for  three  months' 
bills.  If  the  present  drain  on  the  supply  of  bul- 
lion and  reserve  of  the  bank  continues,  there  is 
little  doubt  what  the  cour.se  of  the  bank  will  be. 
The  price  of  wheatt  must  also  be  considered. 
The  market  value  of  money  has  a  tendency  to 
follow  the  market  value  of  grain,  and  though 
the  influence  of  the  higher  pric^?  of  wheat  on 
the  money  market  this  year  compared  with  la.'^t 
niay  not  immediately  show  itself,  yet  in  the 
coiurse  of  time  it  will  be  sure  to  tell.  Holiday 
time  having  set  in.  movements  in  the  stock  mar- 
kets have  been  few  and  feeble.  Exceptions, 
howev*!r.  are  to  be  found  in  the  markets  for 
English,  Indian,  and  American  railway 
securities,  where  some  marked  advances  have 
taken  place.  The  tendency  of  prices  has  aj>- 
j-eared  to  be  downward  on  the  wnole  .since  last 
Saturday,  when  a  general  rise  ensued  on  the 
Ministerial  statements  concerning  British  neu- 
trality. Since  then  the  continu^  withdrawals 
of  gold  from  the  bank,  leading  to  the  expeftation 
that  a  rise  to  U  per  cent,  in  the  rate  might  be 
made,  have  caused  prices  to  give  way,  and  the 
Queen's  speech  on  Tuesday  had  also  a  some- 
what depressing  effect.  But  on  Thursday  there 
was  a  •*  recovery  in  speculative  markets,  which 
was  strengthened  by  the  retention  of  the  bank 
rate  at  2  per  cent.  On  the  German  Bourse  some 
strength  has  resulted  from  the  reports  of  large 
harvests  in  Hungary.  Investments  continue 
to  be  made  in  American  Governments.  The 
railroads  are  bf-neflted  by  the  promise  of  a 
large  grain  traffic.'" 

There  are  few  changes  of  importance  in  the 
31incing-lane  markets.  The  quotations  of  rice 
still  tend  upward,  the  Indian  famine  having 
further  stimulated  the  demand.  There  has  been 
a  better  tone  in  the  tea  market  during  the  last 
few  days,  and  the  low  rates  current  for  new 
season's  Congou  attract  more  attention.  Blac^ 
leaf  sorts  are  in  steady  demand.  At  public 
sales,  Indian  teas  have  found  ready  buyers,  and 
often  at  llmier  prices  than  lately.  Sugar  has 
falien  quite  20s,  per  ton  on  an  average,  and  re- 
mains diUl.  A  very  moderate  supply  of  planta- 
tion Ceylon  coffee,  by  auction,  sold  at  Is. '5'2s. 
per  c^'t.  advance,  other  kinds  {excepting 
Albcha,  which  is  lower)  being  steady.  'The 
Netherlands  Trading  Company  advertise  101,- 
100  bags  for  sale  Aug.  22.  Spice  is  unsettled. 
Saltpetre  is  again  lower. 

The  Daily  News  states  that  several  cotton 
mills  at  Blackburn  commenced  running  on  short 
time  yesterday.  It  is  expected  that  in  a  few 
days  the  movement  will  become  general 
throughout  the  Blackburn  district.

AMUSEMENTS. 


BTTKLESQUE  AT  WALLAOK'S. 
Miss  Lydia  Thompson  and  the  company 
bean-"  g  her  name  appeared  at  Wallack'a 
Thf  tre,  last  evening,  in  the  buricsqne  of 
"Blue  Beard."  Their  retom  gathered  a 
large  concourse  of  spectators,  and  the  applause 
was  bonnteoos.  Hiss  Thompson's  representatioDS 
were  never  a  very  fruitful  theme  for  eriticisni,  and 
familiaxity  with  the  subject  does  not  beget  elo- 
quence. The  circus  and  pantomime  will  always 
interest  an^  amuse  throngs  of  pleaanre-seekere, 
and  so  will  performances  of  this  lort.  Their 
influence  does  not  perbapssay  mucli  for  the  standard 
taste  in  great  cosinopoUtan  cities,  but  it  can  be  urged 
in  their  behalf  that  if  Miss  Thompson  and  her 
associates  do  not  succeed  in  elevating  art, 
they  do  not  at  least  lend  their  'hands — 
or  feet — to  any  transactions  calculated  to 
corrupt  or  offend  their  audiences.  "  Bine 
Beard,"  which  has  been  acted  here  time  and  again, 
is,  like  most  of  its  kindred,  a  mass  of  glittering  non- 
sense. People  clad  in  fanciful  costumes  caper 
abont  for  a  conple  of  hoars  and  ex- 
change pons  '  and  sing  harmless  solos  and 
nocturnes  to  their  hearts'  content.  Whatever  Miss 
Thompson  does  is  gracefully  done,  and  to  the  unprac- 
ticed  eye,  at  least,  she  is  as  comely  and  as  8hax>ely  as 
ever.  And  Mr.  Willie  Edouin  (as  Zovg-Zoug  and  the 
Iliathen  Chinee)  is,  if  anything,  more  supple,  ac- 
tive, and  untiring  aa  a  gymnast  than  before. 
These  two  artists  bore  off  the  honors,  last  night, 
and  their  antics — for  we  can  apply  no  other  name  to 
acu  for  which  there  is  not  the  slightest  raison 
d'etre,  and  most  of  which  leave  one  In 
doubt  as  to  tlie  chances  of  survival  of 
the  performers  after  three  representations  in  equally 
hot  weather — caused  loud  laoghter,  and  were  en- 
couraged by  enthusiastic  plaudits.  The  remainder 
of  the  company,  in  point  of  histrionic  and  vocal 
talent,  is  barely  respectable.  A  stupid  prefa- 
tory comedietta,  entitle*^  "Orange Blossoms."  showed 
Mr.  Pred.  Marshall  to  be  a  player  of  experience,  and 
in  the  burlesque.  Miss  Alice  Burville  supplied  evi- 
dence of  the  possession  of  a  pleasant  high  soprano 
voice,  and  of  some  skill  in  its  use.  "  Blue  Beard," 
however,  has  been  carefully  rohearBed  and  is 
placed  upon  the  stage  with  hberality  and  taste,  and 
hepce  the  general  effect  of  the  representation  was 
good.  Tho  same  programme  is  announced  for 
nightly  interi>retation  this  week.

well  for  the  prosperity  of  the  house  under  ita  new 
management. 

Miss  Kellogg's  concert  at  Saratoga,  last  week, 
was  unusually  successful,  and  many  intending  spec- 
tators were  unable  to  procure  seats  on  account  of  the 
throng.  Miss  Kelloj;g's  principal  numbers  were  "  0 
luce,"  and  the  polonaise  from  "  Mignou,"'  and.  of 
course,  all  wen*  redomaiidi-d.  Mr.  Oirleton.  the 
popular  baritone,  and  Mr.  Graf,  the  new  tenor,  af- 
forded equal  gratification  by  their  respective  efforts. 
The  concert  was  under  the  capable  direction  of  Mr. 
C.  A.  Crosby,  of  whose  co*-operation  Miss  Kellogg 
has  judicially  made  sure  for  the  coming  season. 

Mr.  I>aly  announces  that  the  season  at  the

The  approaching  musical  season  in  Italy  is 
not  announced  under  very  brilliant  auspices,  appre- 
hension being  felt  that  several  of  the  principal  thea- 
tres for  opfia.  the  Fenict-  at  Venice,  the  Bellini  at 
Palermo,  the  Carlo  Felifi-  at  Genoa,  and  the  Pergola 
at  Florence,  will  not  open  their  doors.  It  appears

leading  contraltos.  14-4  first  tenorn.  98  first  baritone.s, 
'-!9  bassos,  and  8  buffos.  In  all  there  appear  to  be 
on  t^iis  list  465  vocalists  who  want  berths,  and  those 
are  wholly  irrespective  of  tlie  large  number  of  Ger- 
man, English,  and  American  artists  who  are  uncon- 
nected with  Italy,  and  about  whom  the  list  docs  not 
profess  to  trouble  itself, 

CITY  RAILROADS  ECONOMIZING.

The  rate  of  pay  given  to  the  conductors  and 
drivers  employed  by  the  Fonrth  and  Slith  Avenue 
Railroad  Companies  is  to  be  reduced  to-morrow  from, 
5(-'25toS2  per  day.  Notices  to  this  effect  were 
posted  np  in  tho  depots  at  the  up-lown  termini 
of  the  roads  yesterday.  The  reason  for  the  re- 
duction was  not  staled  in  the  notices.  It  can 
hardly  be  that  the  receipts  of  the  roads  are  falling 
off,  for  careful  investigation  fails  to  show  that  to  be 
a  fact.  The  indications  are  that  the  traffic  is  as 
great  on  both  roads  at  the  present  time  as  at 
the  corresponding  period  of  any  previous  Summer 
season.  The  Summer  is,  of  coarse,  the 
least  lucrative  season  for  tbe  Sixth-Avenue  Road. 
A  great  many  who  live  along  its  route  are  then  ab- 
sent in  tbe  country.  Tliis  circumstance  does  not 
affect  the  Fourth-avenue  road.  Tho  absence  of  its 
regular  patrons  between  the  lat  of  June  and  the  1st 
of  September  is  much  more  than  compensated  for  by 
the  incre«.sed  numlMT  of  pas.sengers  to  and  from  the 
tirand  Central  Depot,  ou  their  way  to  tlie  country,  or 
returning.  On  each  road  upon  which  the  reduction 
has  been  made  the  shortest  day's  work  is  15  hours. 
The  trips  made  daily  by  a  Harlem  car  on  the 
Fourth-avenue  road  are  six  in  number, 
while  what  are  known  a-? "  short "'  cars 
those  that  run  only  to  the  Grand  Central  Depot, 
make  eight  trips  each.  The  present  reduction 
is  the  first  that  has  been  made  in  the 
salaries  of  conductors  and  drivers  of  the  street 
railways  since  the  panic  of  1873.  Previous 
to  that  time  the  men  were  paid  $2  75  ytvr 
day.  "When  the  stringenry  in  monetary  affairs  was 
first  fell  tlie  railroad  coiyorations  took  advantage  uf 
it  to  reduce  the  waijes  of  their  enijdoyes  about  IS 
per  cent.,  or  50  cents  per  day.  briniring  them  down  to 
the  figures  that  they  have  continued  to  pay 
up  to  the  present  time.  The  reduction 
which  is  to  go  into  effect  to-morrow 
doe.i  not  touch  the  Rtable-men  and  line-men.  those 
employes  having  had  their  wages  pared  down  to  the 
lowest"  amount.  There  is  no  likelihood  of  a  strike 
on  the  part  of  the  conductors  and  drivers.  Those  of 
them  that  were  spoken  lo  last  night  by  a  reporter  of 
The  Times,  said  that  thev  could  not  overcome  the 
corporations,  and  it  would  consequently  be  folly  for 
them  to  resist,  as  the  only  result  would  be  the*  loss 
of  their  situations. 


STA.SJBIXG  AI'FIiAT  IX  ORFEXPOryT. 
About  10  o'clock  last  night  a  serious  stabbing 
affray  occurred  in  Capt.  Jack's  saloon,  comer  of  Man- 
hattan-avenue and  Box-street,  Greenpoint.  The  par- 
ties to  the  difficulty  were  John  Mahoney.  of  No.  loS 
Manhattan-avenue,  and  Walter  Brigham,  of  No.  103 
Bupont-street.  Both  are  members  of  a  notorious 
ganc  that  infests  the  neighborhood.  It  seems  that 
the  pair  were  formerly  very  intimate,  but  had 
been  estranged  for  several  weeks,  owing  to 
a  mutual  att-'vchment  to  a  young  wdttjan.  It  is  said 
that  on  her  account  dangerous  threats  have  been  ex- 
changed, and  that  a  bitter  hatred  had  sprang  un  be- 
tween the  men.  Brigham  was  playiug  cards  at  a 
table  when  Mahoney  entered,  about  10  o'clock.  In  tlie 
course  of  half  an  hour,  both  being  inflamed  by  liquor, 
a  hot  dispute  arose  between  them,  which  culminated 
In  Brigham  rushing  behind  the  bar,  and.  seizing  a  giu 
bottle,  he  threw  it  at  Mahoney.  Missing  aim,  he 
then  picked  up  a  chair,  and  was  in  the  act  of  strik- 
ing Mahoney  with  it,  when  the  hitter  drew 
a  U>wie'knife  and  eut  Brigham  four  times  across  the 
right  wrist  and  three  times  upon  the  foreliead.  Each 
cut  waa  long  and  deep.  Ofacer  Riley  appeared  at 
this  Doint  and  arrested  Mahoney,  who  was  locked  np 
in  the  Seventh  Precinct  Station-house.  Parties  in 
the  saloon  carried  Brigham  home. 


POLO  AT  XErrPORT. 
Kewpokt,  R.  I.,  Aug.  18. — Seven  games  of 
polo  were  played  this  afternoon  before  an  unusually 
laige  ntunber  of  spectators,  the  carriages  fillln^np 
all  the  spare  room.  The  sides  were  as  follows: 
Blues — S.  H,  Robbins.  B.  H.  Howland,  Fairman 
Rogers,  Johu  Mott,  ffarry  OeMchs,  and  Carrol 
Bryce.  Reds— O.  R.  Fearing,  W.  A.  Wadsworth, 
Herman  Oelrichs,  Perry  Belmont,  and  J.  W.  Breaks. 
The  reds  won  four  and  the  blues  three.  The  eighth 
game,  after  lasting^  20  minutes,  was  given  up,  as  it 
was  very  late,  and  there  seemed  to  be  no  prospect  of 
finisb'yg  it.

from  $50  to *¥2. 500.  The  total  loss  is  estimated  at 
$60,000.    There  is  no  insurance.

I>niilap,   the  original  nistorian    and    demon- 
FtratOT  of  the  glories  of  the  State  of  New-York,  (voL 
2.  p,  110.)  weigba  with  judgment  and  decides  with 
justice  OS  to  the  relative  merits,  advanta^ee,  and  ro- 
•nlts  of  the  rictorics  gained  on  the  6th  of  Angngt  on 
ohe  Mohawk  by  the  New-Yorkers,  and  on  the  16th  of 
An^st   on   the  Walloomseoick  by  the  troops  partly. 
_  ?Toin  the  soil  of  New* England  and  partly  front  that

"  Th;is  wBs  Earcoynfi's  right  firm  wIthe^<^d  (at  Ori»-

j«nilyTO*I  in  iiU  rig:ht  and  i^evously  wounded  in  his  left 
inc.  waa  now  about  to  receive  a  Btunning  blow^  by  the 
c'estrtion  of  hU  Kiipertor,  Howe,  on  whose  assistance  he 
<!t;pendod  CQt  only  for  success,  Imt  absolute  safety  and  e«- 
tapc." 

Howe's  operations,  although  physically  remote 
from  Ihcie  «f  Burgoyne,  are  nevertheless,  so  closely 
connected  with  them  morally,  or  infiuentlaHy,  that 
\7hoever  attempts  to  present  the  latter  cannot  avoid 
consdUcrinc  tbe  former.  Any  stadqpt  of  history  who 
•^tGI  examine  matters  closely  in  the  light  of  recent 
revelations  in  English  hooka,  while  keeping  before 
liim  prei^ous  histories  and  contemporary  publications, 
anu5t  feel  satisfied  that  Howe  himself  intended,  and 
the  British  illnistry  contemplated,  a  combination  of 
matnally  supporting  operations  on  the  part  of  all 
ibeir  forces  in  America  during  the  Summer  of  1777. 
^Vhy  Howe  altered  his  own  original  plan  to  extend 
tssistance  to  Bargoyne  is  one  of  those  incomprehen- 
Kibleaberrationswhieh  we  must  attribute  totheln- 
larfarence  of  a  higher  power.  The  Biole  Informs  us

fcrongbt  similar  resnlt-i  about  by  clumsier  but  more 
poetical  nmchinery.  Modems  account  for  inexplica-

not  meddled  there  coald  be  no  »;xcu>e  for  him.  The

Thas  it  ax'pears  that  Howe's  ecewitric  notion  was 
in  A  jrreat  mwmare  due  to  Lord  G^-onje  Germalne, 
the  Briiisli  Coinclal  Secretary.  This  aristocratic 
eyborito. not  finding  the  dispa'tches  for  Gen.  Howe 
ready  for  his  signature,  liowled  oK  to  take  his  pleas- 
ure at  his  country  seat,  leaviug  them  unsigned-  Con- 
sequently they  had  to  Jose  the  laail  and  remain  over 
ivr  aootCL  r  iH'ch«r.  Communication  between  Eng- 
land vkvA  .ilmevica  was  then  extremely  slow  and  most 
anreUable.  The  same  i>acket  shonid  have  carried  the 
»rder  to  Howe  as  well  as  to  Burgoync.  Tliose  for 
Bnr^oyne  being  signed  in  time,  went;  those  for 
Howe  were  laid  over  In  consequence  of  Lord  Ger- 
tiaice's  unprincipled  pronrastination.  Burgoyne  got 
^^^s^l^lers  and  pushed  ahead.  Howe  did  notgethis 
erd^^s  and  went  olf  on  a.  tangent  around  Cape 
Charles,  hundreds  of  miles  away  in  -an  opposite  di- 
rection, 'and  left  Btirgoj-ne  to  his  fate.^This  realizes 
the  jtistice  of  the  fiery  reproof  hurled  at  Stanley  by 
Itichard  HI.,  a  niL<trepresented  King,  who  with  all  his

aiEST3. 

ilready  at  Skenesborongb,  before  he  h&d  cut  loose 
Zrom  Lake  Champlain,  Btirgoyne  felt  in  his  soul  that 
he  had  lost  his  game ;  was  "Borgoyned."  What  is 
still  more  strange,  U  Lord  Eltzmaurlce  in  his  lAfe  of 
Vie  Earl  of  Sheibumt  is  correct,  the  Opposition  in 
England  knew  it  also  before  ho  fBurgojTiej  reached 
the  North  Eiver,  and  kept  it  hidden  in  their  acrid

Its  zichest  jeml— to  the  British  Crown.*  At  th* 
very  same  time  that  Bnrgoyne  adrssesd  againM 
Tioooderoga,  Howe  was  evacuating  Kew-Jertey.  On 
the  5th  of  July  he  began  to  embark  his  army — Bome 
17.000  to  20. 000  men— on  a  fleet  of  about  300  f250 
or  267)  transports  and  vessels  of  war,  aud  until  the 
23d  remained  with  them  thus  cooped  up  within 
Bandy  Hook.  Clinton  was  left  behind  at  New- York 
with  17  battalions,  a  regiment  of  cavalry,  and  cei^ 
tain  loyalist  organizations.  There  were  aoven  other 
battalions  x>osted  in  Rhode  Inland.  With  the  force 
At  his  command  Clinton  might  have  done  much  to 
relieve  Burgoyne,  buttheepithet  '■indolent."  applied 
to  Howe,  equally  fitted  Clinton,  who  possessed  as  an 
additional  characteristic  a  certain  nervous  timidity. 
On  the  23d  Howe  put  to  aea.  Seven  weary  daya were 
occupied  in  boating  to  the  Capes  of  the  Delaware  ; 
2^  more  in  tacking,  ("laveering,"  as  the  elegant 
Bancroft  expresses  "it,)  to  the  southward,  rounding 
Cape  Charles,  sailiug  up  Chesapeak>:  Bay  and  part 
Swan's  Point,  reaching  the  head  of  Elk  River  navi- 
gation for  heavy  ships,  or  six  miles  below  Elktown, 
in  Marvland,  54  miles  south  of  Philadelphia.  Howe 
landed^tween  17.000  and  18.000  effectives,  and 
is  claimed  to  have  had  very  nearly  20,000  troops, 
all  tlrst-class.  selected  men,  perfectly  appointed  and 
supplied.  Howe's  movements  from  the  1st  of  July 
to  the  22d  of  August  bothered  and  baffled  Washing- 
ton. Howe  had  first  turned  his  prows  toward  the 
North  or  Hudsou  River;  then  up  tho  East  River, 
and  finally  stood  out  to  eea.  To  head  off  the 
first  menace  Washington  htirried  Lord  Stirling 
with  his  division  up  to  Peekskill;  after  the 
last  he  did  not  seem  to  know  what 
was  up.  About  the  l6t  of  August  he  learned  that 
Howe  was  off  the  Chops  of  Delaware  Bay.  Even  yet 
he  feared  that  this  might  be  a  feint,  and  Howe  might 
yet  put  about  to  succor  Burgoyne.  On  the  22d  of 
Atigust,  after  marching  andcotinter-marching  in  the 
extreme  heat,  and  in  the  greatest  anxiety,  au  express 
brought  news  that  the  British  fleet  had  entered 
Chesapeake  Bky.  On  the  24th  Washington  led  his 
soldierj'.  sporting  sprigs  of  green,  through  Philadel- 
phia, and  on  the  25th  was  at  Wilmington,  Del 

THE  L.\NDIXG  OP  HOWE*S  ABMT. 
Whoever  will  open  a  map  of  the  United  States  and 
look  at  the  configuration  of  the  coast  from  Cape  May 
round  Cape  Charles  and  up  Chesapeake  Bay  to  its 
remotest  head,  even  if  he  Is  devoid  of  the  sligbtest 
military  knowledge,  while  provided  with  the  least 
gleam  of  common  sense,  must  ask  himself  the  ques- 
tion why  Sir  William  Howe  did  not  land  on  the 
Delaware  Const  when  he  was  at  the  mouth  of  Del- 
aware Bay.  iustea'l  of  lieating  to  the  southwai-d 
against  head  winds,  stifling  aud  banging  to  Qeath  his 
Datorbaw.  mount,  aud  draught  horses  by  a  circxim- 
navigation  of  over  300  miles  of  which  130  was  about 
as  diffloult  as  sailing  vessels  cotild  encounter.  A 
loilitary  critic  has  a;sked  why  he  did  not  laud  at  New- 
castle, near  the  mouth  of  the  Delaware  River,  where 
the  ue'^.k  of  land  is  narrowest  and  it  Is  only 
from  15  to  17  miles  aeross  to  Elktown,  whei* 
he  did  disembark.  ..Vt  Newcastle  he  would  have  beeu 
iust  as  far  from  Philadelphia  as  at  head  of  Elk. 
Conceding,  however,  thegreatesl  difficulties  imagina- 
ble, suflicient  to  debar  Howe's  ascent  to  Newcastle, 
there  was  nothing  to  prevent  his  disembarklM  at 
some  eligible  spot  between  Cape  Henlopen  and  ^m- 
bay  Hook.  If  he  had  done  so  midway  he  would  have 
been  wltlun  30  miles  as  near  to  the  Brandywiue, 
and  just  as  uear  to  where  he  first  encountered  the 
Americans,  just  north  of  Elktown.  On  the  30th  of 
July  Howe  was  off  the  month  of  Delaware  Bay,  and 
Washington  still  at  Corriol's  Ferrv,  30  to  S.^  miles 
Tiorth-west  of  Philadelphia  in  an  airline.  By  the 
1st  of  August  Howe  could  have  got  his  troops  ashore, 
and  Wasliiii^tou  on  this  day  was  In  the  Muburbs  of 
Philadelphia.  Consequently,  althousb  tho  battle 
might  not  liave  taken  i»lare  near  Wilmington,  it

it  i-s  most  likely  it  would  have  been  fought  Just  where 
it  wan  foairht.  because  AVafiliingtou  fell  haclc  behind 
t  he  Brandywine  to  make  it  serve  as  a  wet  ditch  to  if  se- 
lected defensive  position.  Ati  Howe  had  only  been 
about  a  week  at  Hea  when  he  might  have  landed,  his 
men  woxihl  not  liave  had  time  to  suifer  from  the 
hardships  of  a  sea  voyai:e.  nor  what  was  more  im- 
portant, at*  it  turned  out.  In*  would  not  have  lost  his

voyag»>  nrfvento«l  him  from  har^-esling  the  enomiotu 
fruits  of  the  briliLanr  victory  he  was  to  gain  within 
six  weeks,  on  the  11th  of  S**ptember.  There  is  no 
need  of  entering  into  a  ftirther  discussion  of  this 
matter,  but  to  tho  simplest  kind  of  judgment  this 
was  another  of  the  demonstrations  of  a  General  who 
often  evinced  so  much  intolli^ence  that  it  would  ap- 
pear as  if  Ht  every  crisis  of  his  fortune  his  mind  was 
cloudfl  and  his  ev's  blinded  by  fato.  Tills  is  the 
only  expiannlion  of  which  his  conduct  is  susceptibLe. 

THE  B.VITLK  AND   W.VSHlNaTON'S  DEFKAT. 

Nothing  is  so  difticult  as  to  fix  the  strength  of  the 
opposing  furees  iu  this  war.  Fault-finding  Adams 
credited  to  Washington  greater  numbers  than  were 
at  the  disptisitiou  of  Howe-^17.0i>0  is  furnished  as 
one  estimate:  others  sink  this  to  11,000.  It 
Is  likely  the  reuitive  strength  was  not  so  un- 
equal, eou:iitng  heads.  In  quality  there  i3  no 
dunbt  that  Howe  had  everv  advantage.  On  tho  25th

if  not  broken  up.  muit  have  suffered  terribly.  There

excnsea  as  are  urged  eouduDins  liis  inaction.  There

to  ihow  u  eondsely  aad  u  ekttHf-  fliat  nothiog 
could  hare  ured  Waihtngtou  tf  Howe  had  timply 
aeted  or  moved  in  obedience  to  the  lowMt  scale  <n 
inftinet  in  a  commander.    He  sayt : 

"  When  the  left  colmnn  of  ihe  British  [under  Lord  Oora- 
wallia]  had  tamed  fVashington's  loft  flank,  his  tthe  lat 
(«r*a1  whole  army  waa  hemmed  In  :  ~Qen.  Knyphonaen- 
and  the  Brandrwlno  iu  front;  8ir  William  Itowo  and 
Lord  ComwaUls  on  hia  right ;  tho  Delaware  In  his  rear, 
and  the  Cbri^tlnaa  River  on  his  left.  He  was  obUeed  to 
retreat  Sli  miliw  to  Phihidelphia.  when  the  British  lay 
within  IH  milcw  of  It.  Ha^i  the  Commander-in-Chief  de- 
tached Gen.  Knypiiausen's  column  in  pursuit  early  next 
mominc.  Gen.  Washington  might  mth  ease  have  been 
Intereeptefl,  either  at  the  heights  of  Crum  Creek,  nine 
mllet ;  at  I>erbv,  14  ;  or  at  PhUadrlnhla.  18  inil«s  from 
the  British    camp ;  or  the  Schuylkill  might  have  been 

Saased  at  Orar'a  Ferry,  only  70  yards  over:  aud  Phila- 
elphia,  with  the  American  magaiines,  taken,  had  not  the 
pontoons  been  Improvidently  left  at  New-Tork  as  use- 
less. Any  one  of  these  movements,  it  wm  thought, 
mleht  have  been  attended  with  tho  total  destruction  of 
tho  American  Army.  For  some  reason,  however,  which 
It  la  Impossible  to  divine,  the  Commander-in-Chief  em- 
ployed himnelf  for  tevoral  days  in  making  alight  move- 
monta,  which  could  not  by  any  poaalbility  produce  any 
Important  benedta  to  the  Brttlah  cause." 

If  there  la  any  fatilt  in  a  General  greater  than  want 
of  coarse  and  ability — the  two  last  are  presumable 
iu  a  soldier— it  is  hTrinesfi,  The  besetting  aln  of  the 
British  GJenerals  was  exactly  this,  and  In  the  "  Cactle 
of    Indolence "  even  Howe  would  have  taken  the 

grlze.  Thus  Howe's  rolling  off  on  an  eccentric  orbit 
1  order,  accortling  to  his  explanation,  to  save  Bur- 
goyne. in  reality  delivered  him  up  to  Gates,  Wash- 
ington, although  baffled,  perplexed,  and  harassed, 
\n»  not  deceived.  Howe  violated  one  of  the  first 
principles  of  war.  He  followed  exterior  lines  to  an 
objective.  Washington  obeyed  the  rules  of  military 
science,  moved  on  interior  lines,  and,  although  de- 
feated, frustrated  Howe's  purpose.  ComwaiUs, 
always  subordinated  to  inefficiency,  waa  the  beat 
British  General;  the  best  American,  bv  far.  was 
Washington. AXCHOH. 

THE  STRIKE  JX  ST.  LOUIS. 


COMMENTS    OF   THE    MAYOR    IN'    HIS   AKN'CAL 

MESSAGE  TO  THE  CITy  COCXCILS. 
.  Mayor  Overstolz,  of  St.  Louis,  in  his  anntia] 
Message,  submitted  to  the  City  Councils  on  Friday, 
devotes  much  attention  to  the  recent  strikes.  Ho 
pays :  "The  late  'strike'  among  railroad  employes 
inflicted  immense  losses  on  the  business  Interests  of 
the  country,  and,  with  its  accompanying  agitation 
among  the  laboring  classes  and  desperate  rioting  at 
Pittsburg.  Baltimore,  Chicago,  and  other  cities,  pnt 
to  a  sudden  and  severe  test  the  strength  of  manici- 
pftl  Governments,  and  the  ability  and  determination 
of  the  authorities  and  law-abiding  citizens  to 
enforce  the  laws  and  suppress  mob  violence. 
In  the  nresence  of  the  terrible  scenes  enacted 
at  Pittsburg,  and  the  saugtiiuary  conflicts  tn 
other  cities,  involving  the  sacrifico  of  many  lives,  it 
is  a  jtist  cause  for  congratulation  that  our  own  city 
has  come  through  this  ti:x>nblou5  and  menacing  pe- 
riod without  any  similnr  experiences.  Here  ho  lives 
have  been  lost  and  no  propertv  destroyed.  The 
'  strike  '  at  Ka^t  ^t.  Louis  caused  a  total  auspenslon 
of  business  on  all  railroad  lines  ceutring  there.  All 
Eaatem  freights  were  completely  stopped,  aud  this 
necessarily  entailed  a  heavy  loss  upon  our  mer- 
chants. The  commerce  of  a  great  metropolis 
waa  almost  wholly  blocked  for  nearly  a  week, 
as  during  that  period  the  strikers  held  im- 
contrtdled  sway  iu  East  St.  Louis  and  over 
nil  railroad  property  there,  and  tho  authori- 
ties of  this  city  and  State  were  powerless  to 
iutorfere  to  remove  tlie  bh>ckade  without  outstepping 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  State,  although  the  voliuitoer 
forces  at  their  command  afl'orded  abundant  means  of 
dispersing  the  unlawful  aasemblages  assuming  to  eon- 
trul  the  railriiods.  It  Is  evident,  therefore,  tliat  no 
responsibility  can  attach  to  the  Governments  of  the 
city  or  State  for  the  non-removal  of  a  blockado  exist- 
ing In  another  State,  aud  it  continued  until  broken 
.Saturday.  July  2H,  by  United  .States  troops  under 
Gen.  Davis,  and  the  operation  of  trams  wae 
resumed  under  the  prote^^ion  of  Tllinoia  Mili- 
tia, whifh  at  rived  on  Sunday  following.  .St. 
Ijouis  suffered  in  common  with  the  other 
great  railroad  centres  of  tho  country  from  the  Inter. 
ruptlon  of  business,  but  not  heavily  in  any  other 
way.  and  we  avoided  ad'ling  to  our  Iofwe.s  scenes  of 
violence.  blo(»dshed.  and  destruction  of  property.  I 
ascribe  this  remarkable  immuuiiy  almost  entirelv  to 
tho  prompt  answer  given  to  my  proclamation  calling 
for  volunteer  forces.  In  a  single  day  thousands  of 
citizens  of  all  olasaea  sprang  forwanl  to  malntAiii  the 
honor  and  peace  of  the  city,  and  arming  and  organ- 
ization were  the  work  «if  a  few  hours,  and  the  same 
afternoon  companies  of  wf  ll-efiulpped  volunteer  !»ol- 
diery  were  available  for  guard  and  patrol  duty.  The 
Influence  of  the  railroad  '  strike '  quickly  pen'aded 
the  irsdes  and  tlay  laborers,  and  the  result  was 
that  an  Immense  body  of  men  quit  work  about  the 
.same  time  in  this  city,  while  the  news  of  the  exdte- 
ihent  drt-w  within  oar  limits  a  large  number  of 
tramps  and  other  idle  and  dangerous  <-haracters. 
This  rre.^ted  In  a  few  hours  a  threatening  rriaia  un- 
known in  the  hi.-'tory  of  the  city.  Ont  Police  force, 
nirnibering  but  little  over  32.^  men  avnilable  for  Im- 
medi,<it4>  duty,  although  admimble  in  spirit  and  dis- 
cipline, could  not  be  handled  effertlvely  in  a  large  city 
with  bodies  of  rxeltcd  men  moving  In  different  tli- 
rw^titms.  The  annory  of  the  force  and  the  public 
buildings  roquirud  constant  protectlou,  and  the  force 
had  to  be  kept  In  band  so  as  to  bo  ready  to  ttuell  any 
netual  outbreak  that  might  occnr.  This  state  of  affairs 
iiPTi>s?itated  the  cull  for  volunteer?,  which  tstvs  so 
promptly  and  nobly  responded  t»i,  and  v/hoiie 
organization  was  perfected  with  marvelous  celerity.

wore  consummated.  It  is  not  nts-cs-Hary  to  review

dlc(L  In  St.  Ix>ute  the  leiisoa  most  strongly  enforced 
is  the  ne-^esslty  of  increasing  the  I'olieo  force.  I 
bavo  more  than  once  pointed  out  to  the  old  Council 
the  inadequacy  of  our  Volice  a&  to  :iumbiTs.  and  the 
fa<'t  u*as  generally  ndmitt*-^  tie  only  ttiflh-ulty  being 
tlie  additional  exJK.nse.  which  is  not  mi  insurmnanta- 
Iile  objection.  In  several  cities  of  approximate  nize 
to.St,  Lfiuis  in  tho  Uuitod  States  the  Police  force  Is 
more  than  doable  the  strength  of  our;*,  and 
as  we  have  certainlv  no  peculiar  Immunity  from  dis- 
orderly elements,  this  disparily  is  remufkable.  Our 
force,  a«  at  present  constitut*-d.  when  dlvid*^  for  day 
and  night  service,  hardly  admits  of  150  men  avail- 
able for  active  duty  at  any  one  time,  inasmncJi  as 
there  is  always  a  jiercentage  of  aick  and  absent  on 
leave,  while  those  on  guard  duty  at  tlie  stations  .ind 
elsewhere  mu-st  remain  ut  their  posts.  Of  course. 
during  an  emergency  tho  whole  forcw  can  be  called 
out  at  once,  but  that  leaves  the  city  entirely  unpro- 
tected, and  does  away  with  the  relief  for>?e,  which 
could  only  be  d«me  lempi»rarily.  I  recommend  this 
subject  to  iiie  attention  of  tiio  as.sembly  for  early 
consideration. 

I  al.s<t  recommend  that  the  est.ibliskment  of  ,-in  ar- 
mory at  the  Four  Conrta  be  authorized,  and  a  suRI- 
cient  appropriation  made  to  provide  for  its  litting 
up.  and  regulations  prescribed  for  its  care  and  man- 
agement. In  this  armory  \rill  be  stored  such  arms  as 
may  belong  to  the  city,  and  the  arms  of  municipal 
military  companies  desiring  to  use  it.  Huch  a  central 
armory,  controlled  and  gtiarded  In  u  public  building. 
is  greatly  neesicd.  and.  rthiuk,  can  be  proWded  with- 
out any  gerious  exp<*nBe. 

Tlie  organization  of  a  permanent  Militia  force  is  a 
great  si-curity  to  a  State,  and  it  will  be  a  valuabtu  re- 
Kult  if  recent  oc/'urrenc^es  assist  toward  sucii  an  or- 
ganization. In  this  city  there  L<  a  great  desire  to  or- 
ganiz**  eompanies  not  subject  to  the  requireuients  of 
the  regular  Militia,  bat  nlwHVs  availalwe  for  duty  in 
the  pr«>tectinn  of  tlie  city.  How  far  it  may. bo  prac- 
ticabh*  or  desirabh-  for  the  City  Government  to  a.ssist 
such  organ i:uiLitrus.  and  pa»s  au  ordinance  on  the  sub- 
ject. I  have  not  had  opportunity  to  ftilly  im|uire.  but 
I  recommend  the  .subject  to  the' Assembly  fur  any  ac- 
tion that  maybe  found  a<lvjsable.  Such  organiza- 
tions would  be  in  the  nature  of  city  home  puarda, 
and  would,  wlien  formally  called  out.  be  nndor  the 
control  of  the  city  authorities.  I  further  recommend 
that  tho  Aw<embly  mature  and  pass  an  ordinance 
n-gulating  public  priHe.saions,  in  accoriiaiife  with 
Section  10.  Article  1(>.  of  the  charter.  '  so  ns  to  pre- 
vent their  iutcrfenmce  with  pubHc  tra&ic,  and  to  pro-

A  BOLD  CONFIDENCE  OPERATOE  OPENS  NE- 
GOTIATIONS IN  SAN  yaANCISCO  WITH  A 
MYTHICAL  LONDON  STOCK  BROKER  AND 
FLEECES  HIS  OWN  FEIENDS— A  CONFED- 
EttATE  MANAGES  TO  GET  OUT  OF  THE 
WAT  AND  AVOIDS  ABREST. 
From  the  San  FrancUco  BuUetin,  Aug.  10. 

A  mining  s^ndle  was  most  thoroughly  ven- 
tilated in  the  PoUee  Court  yesterday,  one  of  the 
parties  engaged  iu  It  being  held  to  answer  to  a  charge 
of  conspiracy  to  defraud.  Some  months  ago,  P.  E. 
Peel,  of  Walnut  Creek,  Contra  Costa  County,  who 
waa  ouo  of  the  principal  owners  in  the  Etna  Qulck- 
Rilver  Mine,  of  Napa  County,  informed  his  friends 
that  he  had  placed  the  mine  in  the  hands  of  au 
agents  Frank  Bashmer,  in  England,  with  instruc- 
tions to  sell  it.  Mouths  passed  by  and  nothing  waa 
heard  from  it.  At  last  Peel  said  that  a  sale  had 
been  effected,  and  procured  a  written  agreemeul, 
properly  signed  aud  sealed,  between  P.  E.  Peel  and 
FranlE  Bashmer,  his  agent,  by  which  the  latter  bound 
himself  to  pay  £G5,0O0  to  Peel  upon  receiving  a 
warranty  deed  of  tho  property,  and  a  full  abstract  of 
location  and  title  aa  far  back  aa  1862.  Two-thirda 
of  the  stock  was  to  be  delivered  over  by  Peel  on  tho 
day  of  sale,  to  be  paid  for  at  the  rate  of  £65.000 
for  30.000  shares  of  stock.  Tho  remaining  third 
could  be  bought  at  the  same  figure.  This  is  signed 
by  F.  Bashmer,  P.  E.  Peel.  James  Thornton,  Theo- 
dore Hoibrook,  and  Alfred  Landers. 

Peel,  therefore,  wont  around  among  Ida  friends 
telHng  them  of  the  sale,  aud  showing  theui  Itow  thoy 
could  make  money  by  buying  up  the  stock  of  the 
bankrupt  company  and  selUng  it  at  au  advance  of 
about  800  per  cent.  As  he  waa  implicitly  trusted  !?y 
his  friends,  and,  moreover,  as  he  produced  document- 
ary evidence  to  substantiate  Ids  declarationp,  they 
advanced  him  money  to  buy  the  required  controlling 
interest  in  the  fit.ock.  Peel  had  evidently  insisted 
upon  a  delay  of  sajie  kind,  aud  in  order  to  make  the 
wjiule  appear  more  business-like  ho  produced  a  letter 
from  hia  agent,  Bashmer,  dated  Victoria  Hotel,  Lon- 
don, Juhe~D4,  1870.  in  which  Bashmer  wished  Peel 
to  buy  all  the  laud  adjacent  to  the  mine,  in  order 
that  the  land  of  the  u^vr  company  might  be  connect- 
ed. He  wished  Peel  to  notify  the  Etna  Company  of 
the  bale,  saying  that  as  he  hail  received  news  of  the 
sale  some  50  ds>':«  before  the  Etna  Company, 
he  thought  tiiat  he  h-Hd  time  to  recover 
himself.  He  did  not  relish  delays  of  any 
kind  in  business.  But,  as  Peel  Insisted  upon 
delay,  he  had  made  diff**rent  arrange- 
ments, and  James  Thornton,  the  principal  mover  in 
the  purchase,  and  one  of  the  leudors  ia  the  enter- 
prise, would  go  to  San  Francisco  and  settle  with  Peel 
U{>on  the  baiiU  of  the  contract,  while  he  woiUd  ahso 
attend  to .  other  miniiig  bu:iiues9.  Thornton.  Bash- 
mer says  in  his  letter,  uitends  to  make  an  extensive 
tour  through  Mexico,  where  he  and  Iiisass'wiatcs  are 
largely  interested  in  mining  enterprises-  He  would 
also  examine  raining  projjorty  ia  Colima,  T\-itu  a  view 
to  purchase.  He  wonUl  not  be  in  Sau  Fraiicisco  un- 
til September  or  (Jctober.  HO  tliHt  I'eel  would  have 
llmo  enough  to  look  out  for  lii-s  own  iuiere^Is.  If 
there  was  auy  difHculty  in  obtaining  a  de«>d  from  the 
Etna  Company.  Thornton  exp»*cted  tu  be  able  to  get 
acoutrollinginterv.sl  in  the  f.Toi'k  nt  the  ligure  meii- 
tlooed  in  the  contract.  Thornton.  Bnshmer  wrote, 
wa.s  a  thorough  business  man.  and  liad  exuerientu^  In 
mining,  having  been  'JO  yeani  iu  Peru.  He  was 
po,s^cs.sed  of  tmlimiti'd  means  lo  invest  in  mining 
operations  wheu  li«  thinks  that  it  c:in  be  made  profit- 
able, if  iVel  couid  not  raise  money  enougii  to  gi-t 
control  of  the  stock,  he  was  ndvi>ed  to  go  to  Virginia 
City  and  see  John  King,  and  m-nke  u-se  of  the  letter, 
Ibi  wished  Peel  to  hold,  on  to  Thornton,  and  con- 
trol his  motions  until  he  lind  got  control  of  tho 
stock. 

In  tho  meantime  Peel  had  scfnred  from  Jolin 
Sliiz.  Nathaniel  Jones,  Barney  Webb.  N.  W.  Hall. 
W.  S.  Bariwo.  C.  E.  Palmer.  J.  M.  Stowe.  R.  M. 
Jones,  I>.  E.  Cameron,  and  ,V.  Slierbiinie  Slti,830 
for  the  purchase  of  slock,  while  they  had  expended 
$5,000  lu  other  ways.  At  last  the  folloW-ing  letter 
was  received  : 

Sa-v  Fbancis-i-o.  Oct.  4,  187G. 
A.  Sherburn  tf-  Co.: 

Tlio  great  man,  James  Thornton,  hw  arrived  and 
we  are  going  up  to  the  mine  this  aflemoon  or  to- 
morrow morning,  and  then  1  pr^sumo  we  will  know 
our  doom.  I  «hall  try  to  get  him  to  come  over  to 
Walnut  Creek  on  our  way  back  to  hce  the  countr}- ; 
if  not.  I  will  drop  you  a  not«  from  Home  way  .stotion 
— N'apa  or  Vallejo."  I  wa:»t  some  of  you  to  l.o  htre 
when  it  comes  to  a  sottlenjont.  Are  yt-n  all  dead  f 
I  have  written  twice  and  no  answer.  Hoping 'wery. 
thing  comes  ont  all  right.  I  remain  youm.  respeoif^llv, 

P.  K.  PKKL.' 

Some  of  the  gentlemen  interested  visitod  Thornton 
in  thirt  city  after  his  arrival.  They  found  him  at  the 
lnt*Tnational  Hotel,  and  expri-ssed  their  Kun'rise 
that  a  man  representing  ao  much  mon*'y  >iiould  stop 
at  (•  ich  a  place,  lu  a  fsbort  time  Thornton  hod  to  i^ 
to  X'irglnia  Cily,  and  when  he  retnrat'd  he  took  ele- 
gant ua.irters  at  the  Palace  Hotel,  and  surrounded 
hlmfieif  with  map>*of  Mexicaa  and  IVravlan  miniH. 

A  letter  was  rei-./ive'l  by  Thornton  in  February 
from  Hoibrook  &  <'o.,  dated  London  .Stock  Il.xch an :;».•. 
They  said  that  th-j  letters,  mups,  &c.,  i-plating  tu  the 
mine  bad  becu  ri.-ceived  and  only  ronsidwn.-d,  but  that 
it  was  Impossible  to  furw.ird  the  money  bv  Feb.  20, 
on  acconnt  of  tht*  <leath  of  Mr.  Holbrook'.s  partner. 
which  had  affe^^ied  the  hnancial  affairs  of  the  tirm 
cousiderahly.  He  could  now  n'ssume  only  one  tenth 
of  thw  original  subscription,  but  ThomaS  Gregory 
would  tak»*  tho  remainder.  He  requested  n  more 
complete  statement  of  the  property.  Gregory  wns  a 
very  careful  man.  and  therefore  the  dcGcriptiuo  muMt 
be  minute 

An  e\tt- nsion  of  (JO  davs  was  agreed  upon,  putting 
off  utitil  April  22  thoilay  ui"  settlenii.'ni.  at  which 
time  (Gregory *K  man  would  be  there  to  take  iKJsses- 
aion.  J{af>hnter  w.is  inquired  aft-^r.  Hm  was  sup- 
Iiose^l  to  liave  been  upon  a  train  which  was  wrecketl, 
and  in  ca*e  ht-  was  he  would  never  b«  seen  again,  as 
f-onie  of  thn  dea-l  ronld  not  ho  recognized. 

The  Bff.iir  hung  tire  for  some  months,  wheu,  hi 
April,  a  hnig  letU-r  was  received  by  Thonilon.  his 
correspondents,  Mefc.-nr«.  Holbrool;  6c  Co.,  giving 
reasons  for  supposittr  tJi.it  tho  wh<;le  iransactirm  was 
a  fraud,  but  statins  lliat  they  wouM  staud  by  their 
agre«--me«t  if  it  comd  I"*  prfived  that  the  luTue  was  all 
that  Bashmer  hiwl  repre>ienied  to  them.  Bat  they 
recalif-tl  Thornton  to  Loudon. 

Peel  still  repre<;ented  that  negotiations  werv  still 
in  jtrogrejii*.  but  Ids  friends  mistrusting  that  some- 
thing was  wrong,  wrote  to  Hoibrook.  Landero  &  Co., 
in  Lo.idon,  and  h^l  tlieir  letter  returned.  They 
then  wrote  to  a  responsible  firm  In  London,  and  re- 
ceived the  information  th.-tt  there  waa  no  euch  firm 
aa  Hoibrook  &  Lander*  in  that  city.  It  also  turned 
out  that  the  postmark  on  the  envelopes  of  the  letters 
represented  to  have  been  ref-eived  from  the  mythical 
firm  of  Hoibrook,  Landers  ilfc  Co..  had  been  in- 
geniously forged  l>y  Thornton  and  his  confederates. 
They  at  ouce  caused  the  arrest  of.tlie  ao-ciilied  James 
Tliornion,  whose  name  is  H.  C.  Davis,  but  Poel  has 
disappeared.  To-day  l>r.vis  stated  that  ht*  liad  merely 
been  Irired  by  Peel  to  represent  Thonjton.  for  th'e 
sum  of  gi75.  As  the  Court  c«mld  not  determine  that 
he  had  a  greater  interest  in  tiio  affair  than  he  stated, 
ills  hail  was  fixed  at  only  $rv<>00.  Dnvla  was  at  one 
time  Superintendent  of  the  Etna  Mine.

will  form  the  west  side  of  thf  central  (juadrangle  of 
tlie  finished  group.  Is  being  carriecf  on  by  a  SEuall 
force  of  men.  comprising  '27  m.asous  and  10  or  a 
dozen  eari>'^"ters.  Maij>  of  tlie  rooms  are  being 
plastered,  and  several  fiue  mantels  have  been  put  in 
place,  the  hamhioniest  of  which  is  in  one  of  the  rooms 
ou^e  first  door  of  the  south  building-  It  is  of  sand- 
stone, .ind  reu'OiPs  nearly  to  the  ceiling,  forming  a 
flre-place  lii*ilier  than  a  nian'fc  heajl.  The  most  im- 
portant work,  being  done  at  present  is  the  putting  In 
f)laco  of  the  apparatus  which  is  to  heat  botli  build- 
nga.  This  consists  of  three  lar^te  boilers,  set 
underground  in  the  cellar  of  the  central  gate- 
way, which  \viU  unite  the  two  \riugs.  Tlie 
foundation  of  a  large  circular  eliimney  tu

baitdlng  of  wliich  it  Is  a  part  will  not  be  com 
ptetcd  at  present  it  will  not  heron  up,  but  a  tall 
smoke-stack  of  cast-iron  will  do  duty  aa  a  temporary 
draught- persuader.  The  .tlate  roofs  are  rapped  with 
oruamental  red  tiles  imported  from  London  for  the 
purpo.'ie,  aud  between  many  of  thp  large  upper  story 
windows  are  sumii  dome,*;,  topjied  by  slender  gilded 
bannerets  hearing  the  single- headed  Pru.si»iau  eagle. 
The  chapel,  which  is  located  in  the  upper  story  of  tho 
South  Winn,  will  be  a  verj"  cosy  roi>ni.  It  is  crossed 
by  five  arches  of  carved  wood  restini;  at  tho  side  on 
stone  brackets.  Tht*  approaeheb  to  tho  (.'arapus  are

The  Topfcka  (Kau.)     Commonicealth    of     the 
14th  inst.  says  :  •'  It  is  known  that  tiiore  has  been  a 
strike  at  Scranton,  Osage  County,  amoug  thy  miners 
for  nearly  a  month.    It  occurred  before  the  railroad  , 
strike.    About  five  days  ago  the  miners  ct  Osage  City  ■ 
struck,  and  nocoalmiuiug,  we  think,  is  now  going  on 
in  Osage  City,  Or  but  littJe.    We  are  informed  by  ilr. 
Ewing  that  the  strike  is  for  au  addition  of  $4  50  per  ' 
car  for  geuing  out  coal.     He    s.iys   that   this  would 
increase  their  wages  aboat  50  cents  a  day,  and  that 
they  earned   at   the  old  rates  about  $li  per  day  of 
about  six  hotIb>.    Mr.  Kwlug  says  he  has  f>Q  hhud  or 
can  cOElrol.  about-500  cars  of  stripped  coal,  which  is 
net,  of  course,  as  good  as  the  coal  iro:a  the  shafts, 
but  does  very  well"  this  rime   of  the  year.     He  can 
supuly  all  demands  for  00  days  with  this  stripped

MIDBAT  PASBA  O.V  TRE  SITVATIOX.

WAB  THE  LAST  EBSOCBCE— BCS8U  XOT 
ABLB  TO  CABBY  OUT  SEE  PLASS— THE 
BESOtTRCES  OP  THE  PORTE. 

The  VieniuL  correspondent  of  the  Cologne  Ou' 
xUe  reports  a  conversation  which  he  had  with  Mldhat 
Pasha  on  the  30tb  of  July.  The  Turkish  statesman 
has  no  apprehensions  as  regards  the  power  of  resict- 
auce  of  Turkey.  Only  one  thing,  he  said,  is  wanting 
— ^mouey.  Of  men  there  are  enough.  If  the  foreign 
money  market  be  closed  to  Turkey  nothing  remains 
but  to  declare  the  holy  war.  which  obliges  every 
Mussulman  and  every  Cliristuiu  living  under 
the  Mussulman  dominion  to  sacrifice  not  only 
life,  but  also  all  be  possesses,  in  defense  of 
the  faith  and  the  fatherland.  Midhat  Pasha 
would  reluctantly,  but  without  hesitation,  advise  the 
unfurling  of  the  fiag  of  the  Prophet,  which  does  not 
signify  the  persecution  of  every  Christian,  but  only 
of  those  who  threaten  the  fiuth  and  the  country. 
Midhat  Pasha  added  :  "  Let  it  not  be  forgotten  in 
Europe  that  It  was  the  Czar  Alexander  who  declan>d 
this  war  as  a  war  of  religion,  in  the  well-known  speech 
at  Moscow.  Teen  1  declared,  as  the  Czar  knows,  how 
fatal  it  might  become  to  spes^  of  this  war  as  of  .1  war 
of  religion.  Russia's  pretext  for  the  war  should,  in 
fact,  have  induced  Turkey  nt  ouce  to  declare  the  holy 
war.  for  Rtissia  took  the  defense  of  the  Christian 
faith,  whi;:h  she  pretended  was  threatened,  for  a  pre- 
text." Speaking  of  the  eventual  attitude  of  Austria, 
if  Russia  really  intended  to  make  Bulgaria 
and  Boumania  autonomous.  Midhat  Pasha  eipres<ted 
his  belief  that  new  Slav.  States  on  the  Danube  must 
signi^  tho  disruption  of  Austria-Hunaary.  He 
said  :'■■  Tturkey  is  perhaps  even  more  vital  without 
Bulearia  than  with  it.  but  Austria  will  perish  of  an 
independent  ^uth  Slav  State."  Tho  resources  of 
Turkey  ia  Asia  Midhat  Pasha  described,  while  citing 
surprising  details,  as  almost  ineihamKible.  He 
added:  "^  I  pledge  myself  to  levy  within  a  week  in 
Kurdistan  alone  20.000  splendid  horsemen  :  and  do 
you  kziow  what  an  Asiatic  soldier,  to  remain  com- 
pletely capable  for  marching  and  fighting,  requires 
every  dnv  ?  One  pound  of  dates  !  The  situation 
on  the  European  theatre  of  war  Midhat  Pasna 
believes  to  jtistify  Turkey  in  beine  hopeful.  The 
Russians,  he  thoueht,  have  not  soldiers  enough  to 
carry  out  the  plan  which  they  have  adopted,  tm  the 
other  side  of  the  Balkans  considerahlv  superior  forces 
are  opposed  to  them,  and  on  this  side  also  there  are 
soldiers  who  have  already  given  proofs  of  their 
^raveTy.  snd  fortresses  which  are  probably  under-  : 
valued.  For  instance,  to  invest  Rcsfhuk  com-  I 
pletelv  there  are  wanted,  thanks  to  the  good  out-  I 
works,  at  least  from  90.000  to  100.000  men.  The 
Russiiiu  Ariay  ia  the  field  can  certainly  not  spare  1 
these  for  the  present.  But.  whatever  be  the  issue  of  ; 
the  campaign,  Turkey  will  hold  out  to  the  last.  ^Vud  ; 
if  Turkey  do  vjctonon^.  and  the  Rnssians  come 
back  next  year,  they  will  find  the  Turks  three  time«  • 
stronger.  '       j

THE  HOUSEHOLD. 


rffB  STATE  OF  TBE  MJJRKET. 

Althon^  peaches  are  increaaiiig  m  quantity, 
their  prlca  stUl  rvmahia  high.  P««rs  are  also  still 
dear,  and  are  not  of  good  quality,  with  the  exception 
of  the  BartlettB,  which  are  of  fine  appearance,  bat 
expensiTe.  Melons  and  cantaloupes  are  plentifDl, 
and  are  beooming  cheaper.  Grapes  are  atiU  scarce, 
of  poor  quality,  and  high.  Berries  are  fast  disf^ 
pearing,  and  are  Increasing  in  price.  The 
ploms  in  market  are  aa  yet  comparatively 
poor  in  qoality,  their  price  remaining  abont  the  same 
as  lust  week.  Meat  of  all  kinda  Is  low  and  plentiful, 
the  retail  dealeta,  indeed,  complaining  that  their 
aupply  largely  exceeds  the  demand.  In  fish,  the 
trade  is  still  confined  to  the  same  Tarieties  that  have 
formed  the  stock  daring  the  past  few  weeks,  nothing 
new  being  expected  until  the  Western  fish  becin  to 
come  in.  The  stock  In  market  is  somewhat  scarcer 
IhaA  it  was  a  week  or  so  ago,  and  the  price 
has  risen  in  a  corresponding  detrree.  The  demand 
is  increasing,  however.  In  general  produce,  such  as 
butter,  cheese,  eggs,  S?c.,  there  is  no  perceptible 
change  in  the  dum&nd  or  the  prices  of  last  week. 
Vegetables  are  very  plentiful  and  veiy  cheap,  with  the 
single  exception  of  sweet  potatoes,  which  are  not  only 
small  in  size  and  poor  In  quality,  but  high  In  price.  Com 
Is  abnndant.  Beans  are  selling  cheap,  as  are  also 
potatoes  and  tomatoes,  the  supply  of  both  of  which 
is  abundant  in  quantity  and  good  in  qunlity.  Crome 
and  poultry  are  still  comparatively  high-priced,  and 
the  former  Is  scarce.  ^ 

RECEIPTS  FOB  THE  TABLE. 

Codfish  Balls.— The  desiccated  codfish  put  np  in 
l>oxcs  ia  the  best,  and  equally  cheap  ;  as  it  is  already 
cooked  and  shreded,  all  disagreeable  odor  is  avoided  ; 
it  can  be  prepared  for  the  breakfast-table  la  20  min- 
ntes  ;  add  as  much  boiled  and  mashed  x>otatoes  as 
fish  ;  tlie  potattws  are  best  cold,  with  a  lump  of  but- 
ter, and  moistened  with  a  little  milk  ;  if  they  are  to 
be  extra  ni<-e.  add  one  or  two  beaten  egcs,  according 
to  the  quantity  of  potatoes  and  fish  ;  n^ce  them  into 
balls  or  cokes  with  floured  bands,  and  then  melt 
some  lord  in  a  frying-pan  to  a  boiling  heat,  and  fry 
the  cakes  to  a  good  brown. — MoLUS. 

To  Make  Salt  Coi>-rtsu  Balls.— One-third  of  a 
Bi^t  cod-flsh  and  six  x>otutoe3  ;  tht>  Cod-fish  to  be  the 
best  of  its  kind.  (Isles  of  Shoals  fish  preferable,)  and 
the  xtotatoes  ripe  and  mealy.  Put  the  fish  in  a  ^1- 
lon  of  water  and  let.it  come  to  th^  boiling  point. 
Boil  and  peel  the  potatoes.  Chop  the  fish  fine  and 
mix  with  it  the  potato  mashed  in  half  pound  of  but- 
ter, half  tea-cupful  of  milk,  and  two  eggs.  Make 
with  the  hand  into  oblong  balls,  roll  in  fine  bread 
crumb,  and  fry  in  boiling  lartL  Remove  each  cake 
carofullv  with   n  skinuuer,  and  serve  at  once  while 

hot.^B!£STKK  I)A>'.V. 

To  Make  Deviled  Cbab.^— Take  2**s  crabs, 
plunge  them  into  boiling  water,  and  bo!joO  min- 
utes ;  break  open  the  crao-sbells,  reject  the  poison- 
ous part,  and  pick  carefully  from  the  fine  inner  shell, 
hud  save  the  corRl-culored  outer  shell  to  cook  thorn 
In.  Make  a  dressing  of  one  tablespoonful  of  but- 
ter and  one  of  flonr ;  place  the  flour  and  but- 
ttr  together  in  a  stewpan,  put  over  the  fire,  and 
braid  together.  Then  odd  three  beaten  egirs,  one 
teacupful  of  milk,  and  season  with  cayenne  pepper 
and  salt.  Mix  this  dreKining  well  with  the  crab,  place 
it  in  the  shells  to  bake,  first  scattering  brvad- 
crumbs  over  the  top  and  small  bits  of  butter  at  fre- 
quent intervals.    Bake  20  minutes. — Hester  Dana. 

To  Cook  Ego-Plant. — Select  of  nice  ripe  esg- 
plunts  a  sufficient  quantity ;  cut  off  the  ends ;  cut, 
transversely,  in  slices  one  inch  thick ;  cook  without 
grease  or  anv  other  thing  whatsoever,  or  a  hot  grid- 
dle or  tmng-pon :  when  cooked  tlirough  and  nicely 
browned  dress  with  butter  and  salt,  and  serve  hot, 
piping  hot. 

Currant  Jklly. — I  will  give  my  own  receipt  for 
making  jelly,  as  if  it  is  closely  followed  it  is  sure  of 
success.  If  the  juice  is  boiled  too  long  It  becomes 
"syrupy,"  und  will  not  be  improved  by  boiling.  If 
after  standing  five  or  six  hours  the  Jelly  is  not  firm 
enough,  set  the  glasses  containing  it  in  the  hot  sun, 
and  cover  them  with  pieces  of  window  glass  to  keep 
out  the  flies  and  dust.  .\t  night  set  them  indoors 
again,  and  wipe  off  the  moisture  that  bos  collected  on 
the  underside  of  the  ^laA:i.  Repeat  -this  every  day 
until  the  jelly  becomes  as  firm  as  desired.  I  have 
to^ed  verj-  fine  currant  jelly  that  only  boiled  three 
minutes,  but  never  having  followed  that  receipt  my- 
self I  cannot  recommend  lU  Put  the  fmit  into  a  jar 
and  place  it  in  a  kettle  of  warm  water ;  let  it  boil 
untU  the  fruit  is  crushed,  keeping  it,  meanwhile,  well 
covered;  then  strain  thnwi^h  a  Htuut  cloth,  allowing 
one  pound  of  line  white^silgar  to  a  pint  of  juice  ;  set 
this  jtiice  on  the  fire  alone,  itod  while  it  is  boiling 
heat  the  sugar  in  the  oven — spteaaStjm  tin  p"aD8;  and 
stir  occasionally  to  keep  it  trom  burning  i^feoil  the 
jtdce  just  20  nunutes,  and  then  stir  in  the  hoLsn^ar : 
as  soon  as  the  sugar  melts  and  the  syrup  has*  boUed 
up  for  an  instant  remove  it  at  once  from  the  Are  ; 
having  rolled  the  glasses  In  hot  water  to  prevent 
their  cracking,  pour  the  scolding  liquor  inta  them  : 
when  it  is  cold  put  biandied  tissue  paper  on  top  of 
the  jelly,  and  paste  thick  paper  closely  over  the 
glass  and  keep  in  a  dry  place. — Molue. 

Crr&RAST  Jellt.IL— The  mistake  made  in  the  enr- 
rant  jelly  alluded  to  In  last  week's  L"«ue  was  perhaps 
owing  to  a  slow  fire.  The  rtx:lept  rarely,  if  ever,  falls. 
One  method  is  to  boil  10  minutes  before,  and  10 
minutes  after  ptitting  in  thesugar,  but  a  darker  jelly 
is  the  restilt.  Perhaps  boiling  your  '■  s>Tup  "  briskly 
for  from  five  to  ten  minutes  may  correct  it.  Observe 
the  moment  that  it  looks  rich  and  "ropy,"  and  re- 
move. Throw  aside  your  gioAn  covers  to  the  jellv 
tumblers:  place  over  each  a  paper,  or  even  two  pa- 
pers, dipped  in  alcohol  or  bnuidy,  and  paste  pliable 
Drown  paper  over  tightly. — Etta. 


rSEFVL  FAMILY  HINTS. 

ToiLiTO  Catscp. — Cut  one  peck  of  ripe  tomatoes 
\t\  halves,  boil  them  in  a  porcelain  ketue  until  the 
pulp  is  ^  dissolved,  then  strain  them  well  through  a 
hair  sieve  and  set  the  liquor  on  to  b^iil,  adding  one 
ounce  of  salt,  one  of  mace,  one  tablt>spoonful  of  black 
pepper,  one  teaspoonful  of  red  pepper,  one  table- 
,'*'spoonful  of  ground  cloves,  five  of  ground  mustard ; 
»,  let  them  all  boil  together  for  five  or  six  hours,  and 
stir  thdm  most  of  the  time.  Let  the  mixture  stand 
eight  or  10  hours  in  a  cool  place,  add  one  pint  of  vin- 
egar, and  then  bottle  It :  st-al  the  curies  anid  keep  In  a 
cool,  daftc  place.— MoL-LiK. 

To  Make  Tomato  Cat.sup.  11.— Take  one  gallon 
peeled  tomatoes,  four  pods  of  red  jwpper ;  cook  until 
t*'nder  and  strain  through  a  coonje  sicvt? ;  then  stir  in 
thoroughly -four  taUlf3po<mfula  of  salt,  four  table-, 
irpoonfula  of  ground  biwk  p+'pper.  thr*>e  tablespoon-\ 
ftds  of  white  mustord-setHl.  half  atablesjioonful  of  all-l 
Spice,  and  one  pint  of  vinejcar :  simmer  slowly  three  ^ 
or  four  hours;  Dottle  while  hot,  and  cork  tight,  and 
the  preparation  will  keep  gi.od  for  years.  It  can 
also  be  made  In  Winter  time  by  using  conned  toma- 
toes and  dried  red  pepper  pods — L*.  y.  D. 

ToiLVTO  CATStT,in. — CutVimatoes  in  pieces;  boil 
Blightly  ;  strain  the  jnire  and  add  the  spices  and  the 
proportion  of  vin^ar  of  a  pint  to  three  gallons  of 
juice,  and  boil  down  very  thick  ;  can  hardly  get  it  too 
thick  J  add  plenty  of  red  pepper,  and  in  bottling 
leave  the  depth  or  half  an  inch  to  be  entirely  filled 
with  block  pepper.  Then  drive  In  the  corlcs  and  dip 
each  bottle  into  melted  sealing  wax.  This  is  the 
method  adopted  at  bottling  factories,  and  cannot  foil 
to  keep  the  catsup.  Kever  let  catsup  bum  in  the 
boiling.— Etta- 

To  PfBiry  THE  Blood. — Strictly  diet  on  oat-medl 
porridge,  lean  beef,  plain  vegetables,  fruit  and  Gra- 
ham bread.  Eat  no  wheat  orend  or  jmstry  or  pud- 
dings: no butterorgrease whatever.  Butterandcbeese 
secretly  poison  many  systems.  Drink  weak  lemon- 
ade. Eat  regularly,  and  the  drier  the  food  the  better. 
Food  floating  in  grease  refuses  to  digest.  Snbsttbite 
clear  woter — not  ice  water — for  tea  or  coffee.  On 
retiring,  apply  cold  cream  or  beef  fat  to  the  oom- 
plexion.  Take  the  oils  uxternully  Instead  of  inter- 
nnlly.— M.  D. 

Good-Tkmplab  Beer. — One  pint  of  bran,  a  hand- 
ful of  hops,  some  twigs  of  .spruce,  hemlock,  or  cedar, 
a  little  sassafras,  roots  of  burdock,  plantain,  do«k 
and  dandelion  ;  lx>ll  and  strain,  and  add  a  spoonful  of 
ginger  molasses  and  a  cupful  of  yeast.  The  above 
will  make  a  gallon.— Pickwick. 

OIXOER  Beer. — One  cup  of  pingor.  one  pint  of  mo- 
lasses, one  pail  and  a  half  of  -water,  and  a  cupful  of 
lively  yeast,  slightly  warm  ;  bottle  and  cork  securely. 
— Pickwick. 

White  Spbuck  Beeb. — Three  pounds  of  loaf-sugar, 
five  ^lons  of  water,  \rith  essence  spruce  to  taste, 
a  cupful  of  good  yeaat,  and  soma  lemon  peeL — Pick- 
wick. 

Smaix  Beeb. — A  handful  of  hops  to  a  pail  of  water, 
a  pint  of  bran,  half  a  pint  of  molasses,  one  cupful 
yea.M.  a  spoonful  of  ginger.— Pickwick. 

Harvest  Dbintl. — Five  gallons  of  water,  half  a 
gallon  of  molasses,  one  quart  of  vinegar,  and  two 
ounces  of  powdered  ginger. — PicKWiCK- 

To  Remove  Scpebfluocs  Hair, — When  the  eye- 
brows join,  which  is  very  uubocominic,  they  should 
have  the  hair  taken  out  with  a  tweezers,  and  after  a 
while  it  will  stop  growing,  leaving  no  mark,  ^ply 
cold  water  after  its  use.  Never  use  a  razor,  os  it  in- 
creases the  growth,  nxakes  it  coarse,  and  leaves  an 
ugly  blue  mark,  as  was  the  case  when  that  detestable 
fashion  of  shaving  the  forehead  was  in  vogue.  Hair 
In  the  nostril  may  be  removed  the  same  way ;  but, 
before  using  the  tweezer,  rub  on  some  whit©  wood 
ashes.  For  hair  on  the  arms  wear  a  white  flannel 
sleeve  at  night.    The  gum  of   Ivy  la  considered  a 

food   remedy,    as  is  also   elder-flower  water. — Sea 
IHESZE. 

Receipt  for  GotJ>ES  Haib. — Since  golden  hair 
is  so  much  in  favor,  it  is  well  for  mothers  to  know 
that  they  can  preserve  the  golden  color  of  their 
children  s  locks  by  a  persistent  and  careful  wa^ing- 
with  castile  soap  and  water.  The  hair  shoold  be 
braided  and  dipped  repeatedly  into  the  suds,  and  then 
wiped  with  a  towel.  This  should  be  performed  once 
in  three  or  four  days,  and  if  persevered  In,  though 
the  roots  of  the  hslr  may  darken  as  the  child  grows 
older,  the  moss  will  keep  its  sunny  tints  as  long  as 
the  owner  wishes — Ij.  M.  B. 

A  Heai»-wash. — Sage  tea  Is  one  of  the  very  beet 
preparations  for  washing  and  dressing  the  hair.  The 
hair  should  be  carefully  brushed  and  oraided  in  two 
firm  braids,  and  the  roots  mbbed  with  a  sponge 
dipped  in  lukewarm  sage  tea. ,  The  braids  can  then 
be  washed  and  dried  witha'toweL  This  preserves 
the  color  of  the  hair,  and  keepe  the  scalp  clean. — Xt. 
II.  B.  V

3b  the  EduJr  of  The  A'ere-York  Times  : 

I  am  inttirested  in  an  article  on  the  que.stion 
of  living,  in  your  last  Sunday's  issue,  by  Mary  Forest, 
of  Kewark.  I  much  fear  that  that  dear  sister  belongs 
to  that  vast  throng  of  whom  Mr.  Greeley  used  to  say 
that  whether  their  income  was  $1  a  day  or  $1  a 
minute  it  was  equally  Inadequate  to  supply  their 
wants.  Without  stopping  to  discuss  the  nonsou.s« 
attributed  to  Mr.  Beecher  about  living  on  $1  a  day, 
I  would  like  to  show  Sister  Mary  how  she  avu 
make  her  money  go  a  deal  further  than  in  the  way 
she  indicates  in  her  table  of  expenses.  Mary  begins 
thus ;  Rent,  weekly,  $2.  That  item  should  bo  $  I , 
or  certainly  not  more  than  §1  25.  Second — Barrel 
wood,  25  contit.  That  item  Ls  pstravasant.  A  barrel 
of  wood  used  for^indliug  oufjht  til  last  three  we^ks 
at  least.  Third— Two  pails  of  coal.  16  cents.  If  ItJ 
cents'  worth  of  coal  lasts  a  week,  then,  certainly 
Mary  is  economical  on  coal ;  but  coal  by  the  pailful 
anyway  is  a  dear  way  of  getting  fuel.  Next, 
burial  society.  22  cents.  '  Put  that  money  in  the 
savings  bank.  3Ian-,  and  attend  to  j-oiir  ovtTi  fiint.-ral. 
Xext,'oat-meol,  l-l  cents;  that  item  you  would  tlo 
well  to  double  on  account  of  the  children.  Next, 
two  pounds  of  butter,  GO  cents  ;  make  that  one 
pound  at  2.">  cents.  Next,  throe  and  a  half  pounds 
of  sugar,  40  cents  :  surely  that  can  bo  cut  do\7n  to 
two  pouiyls.  at  10  cents  per  pound,  '20  cents.  Two 
cakes  ofj  soap,  1-t  cents.  Mary,  if  you  could  only 
buv  a  box  ahead  you  could  saveholf  that  Itt-in.  Nvxt, 
s&da^one  i>oun(l.  3  cents  ;  that  ought  to  last  two 
weekfi.  Next,  tea.  25  ceuts  ;  I  guess  that  is  about 
righ^'Mary.  Next.  Kew-Voek  TiMte,  G  cents;  I 
only~^y  5  cents.  Next,  New-York  Weekly,  0 
cents ;  that  Is  tJ  cents  thrown  away.  Next, 
shavinfT.  10  cents.  My  hu.sband  shaves  hiin.-ielf.  and 
has  done  so  for  2.">  years.  Next,  milic,  42  cents;  iJint 
is  right,  and  nii;;ht  be  increased  with  ec«mt>niy  for 
the  children's  sake.  Ne^ct,  two  quarts  of  potat**!-* 
daily,  42  cents.  I  buy  ptitatoes  at  50  cents [mt  bushel. 
about  11^  cents  per  quart.  Next,  two  H-cent  loaves 
daily  ;  that  seems  to  me  dear,  for  the  reason  that  i 
make  my  own  bread-  Me.-it.  20  cents,  or$l  40  per 
week.  That  is  hli;h.  and  should  be  not  more  than  -lil. 
Passim:  the  small  items,  comes  the  iK-er.  ;i7  c*'nt.s. 
O.  dear.  Mary,  how  con  you  spend  37  rt-nt** 
for  iKwr  I  Tliat  is  out  of  all  reason 
if  you  want  to  retain  your  grn>d  Inok.%  .inJ  not  hi-  a 
big,  fat,  gross.  »oiSiy  woman  like  the  Kn^Hsh  women, 
(when  they  pa.s.s  S.*>  or  40.  >  give  up  the  beer  ami  t.iko 
cold  wat^-r  or  a  Httle  more  tea  instuad.  Now,  Mary, 
do  not  ask  Mr.  R-echor.  or  any  one  fke  tn  write  a 
book  about  what  you  shall  eat  and  drink,  but  ju-*t  i;o 
squarely  to  work  to  init  your  garment  occtmiiu^  to 
your  cloth,  and  resolve  to  live  within  your  ineome. 
whatever  it  may  Im-,  whether  $1  or  $5  a  flny.  l 
crant  you  will  find  it  verj'  hard  to  solve  the  first 
problem,  bnt  you  may  depend  that  'whore  there's  a

bearing  th»;  title,  '•  The  Problem  of  Living  on  a  I>ollar

venture  to  call,  through  your  paper,  the  attention  of 
the  writer  to  a  little  Eniilish  publication,  llow  to 
Lice  on  Suyetiee-  a  Day,  by  P.  L.  Nichols,  M.  P. 
London  :  LoDL;man.s.  It  has  been  reprinted  in  New- 
York  by  a  publisher  of  the  name  of  Redfield,  under 
the  title.  Sow  to  Lice  for  a  Dime  a  Day  ;  price,  10 
cents.  I  tried  to  procure  a  dozen  copies, 
with  the  intention  to  distribute  it  wliert* 
it  •  could  do  t}\tf_  mofit  good.  but  could 
not  find  more  than  a  couple.  It  seem.'*  to  bo 
out  of  print.  If  .some  philanthrooLst  vnt\  a  well- 
garnished  purse  would  c.iuse  it  to  be  repriut*'d  und 
scatter  some  thousimd.'*  of  numbers  broadcasfover  tlie 
country,  he  would  do  a  great  ileal  of  good,  I  tliink,  as 
in  the  present  time  people  will  be  more  dispose*!  to 
listen  to  sober  truth.  In  short  and  precise  h«iga.iire. 
with  a  cool  and  sober  nund  that  only 
looks  for  truth,  the  well-known  and  e.vperienced 
Doctor  gives  a  great  deal  of  light  on  that  most 
imTK)rtant  food  question,  with  practical  directutns 
and  suggestioiLS,  and  coi-rocts  the  estal»lishod 
fallacies  and  superstition.^  which  blind  tlie 
general  views  on  this  subject.  I  inyselt', 
with  the  k»ast  possible  natural  talent  for 
economy  and  wise  Raving,  and  looking  mainly  for 
quality  and  appr<»priateness  to  the  *Dbject  in  view  in 
tne  choice  of  my  food,  do  not  use  on  an  average  more 
than  25  cents  worth  daily,  consisting  principally  of 
crushed  wheat,  oat-meal,  pearl-barley,  plenty  of  fruit, 
and  occasional  vegetables,  and  would  not  eschftn;;^ 
my  meals  for  Delmonlco  dinners  if  offered  free  of 
ch'arge.  That  the  doubtful  value  of  desh  ment  as 
food  consists  only  in  the  faculty  of  the  organism,  in 
caso  of  necessity,  of  using  over  again  thL*  dead  ani- 
mal substancd,  {valffo  carrion,)  which  bos  entered 
into  decay  from  the  moment  of  the 
death  of  the  animal,  as  a  musr-le- 
builder,  while  for  that  purpose  the  living  veneUiblo 
fibrin  in  the  grains,  rye,  oats,  barley — wheat  is  su- 
perior a^  brain  and  nerve  builder,  its  nitrogenous 
constituent  being  principally  albumen — is  intinitely 
superior  in  <{uautity  as  well  as  in  quality,  and  one 
pound  of  those  grains  will  fiimish  more  nutriment 
than  four  pounds  of  riesh-meat.  these  are  sober, 
positive  facts,  which  science  as  well  as  practical  expe- 
rience attest.  The  present  hard  times — hsrd  I  sup- 
pose on  account  of  the  lack  of  knowledge  and  edutyi- 
tion  and  ^ood  habits  to  meet  the  requiremants  of  the 
times — mleht  prove  u  blessing  to  the  nation,  if  they 
would  lead  to  a  sounder  understanding  of  the  proper 
needs  of  physical  life.  J.  A.

A   BOOK   THAT   TELLS  ALL  ABOUT   IT. 
To  the  Editor  of  the  yew-  York  Times  : 

The  conflict  between  capital  and  labor,  which 
has  so  lately  threatened  our  national  prosperity,  is 
far  from  being  -settled.  Althougb  New- York  escaped 
a  violent  outbreak,  the  causes  wliich  still  distract  less 
fortunate  localities  arc  prevalent  in  oui  midst.  The 
leaders  of  all  the  strikes  declared  that  their  action 
was  taken  only  because  they  could  not  support  their 
families  upon  the  wages  received  by  them.  The 
question  of  feeding  his  family  is  the  most  dliflcult 
one  the  working  man  has  to  answer.  Wih  the  press 
help  him  to  solve  It  by  publishing  the  following  offer 
to  show  him  how  to  make  his  dollar,  or  its  fraction, 
go  the  farthest  in  baying  healthy  food  ! 

I  win.  supply  to  the  Commissioners  of  Charities 
and  Correction,  the  Society  for  Improving  the  Con- 
dition of  the  Poor,  and  other  benevolent  societies, 
stamped  title-pages  authorizing  the  publication  by 
them  of  50,000  copies  of  a  pamphlet  by  myself,  giv- 
ing directions  how  to  buy  and  cook  the  cheapest  and 
most  nourishing  kinds  of  foods  so  as  to  produce 
hearty  mc^  for  families  of  six  at  an  averuge  cost  of 
15  cents  for  each  meal.  The  only  condition  being 
that  the  societies  publishing  the  pamphlets  shoD  dis- 
tribute them  gratuitously  to  all  working  people  ap-

Company  H,  Capt.  Welcker,  Fifth  Regiment 
Infantrj-,  N.  G.  S.  X.  Y..  had  an  afternoon  and  even- 
ing festival  at  Landman's  Hamilton  Park,  Third-ave- 
nue and  Sixty-ninth-street,  on  Thursday,  Aug.  16. 
There  were  numerous  visitors  present,  both  military 
and  civic,  among  others  the  Regimental  Surgeon.  Dr. 
.M.  J.  Mossomer,  who  arrived  toward  evening  and 
remained  abont  an  hour.  During  this  time  he  was 
constantly  surrounded  by  a  numlx-r  of  the  oflflcerB 
aud  men  of  the  company,  wlio  complained  of  having 
sufiered  more  or  less  ever  since  their  recent  coufine- 
ini.*nt  lit  tho  armory.  The  t(^am  of  this  command 
prarticed  at  Creeilmoor  ltt.si  Monday  and  Pridav  at

The  Army  and  Navy  Jourtud  went  out  of  Its 
wiiy  a  few  days  ago  to  attack  the  other  military  pa- 
pers who  supply  it  with  mo.st  of  its  National  Guard 
news  in  the  following  choice  language:  "Some 
«iaily  and  weekly  papers,  in  thoir  so-called  'military 
I'olurans,'  present  n  great  deal  of  personal  scandal 
;t.ud  gossip  about  excursions  and  uniforms,  potti- 
fo^i^ng  points  about  manuals  of  arms,  and  other 
matters  of  no  real  moment  which  they  caU  'news,' 
and  on  which  they  secure  a  large  circulation 
aiuonc  the  *  fuss  and  feathers '  members  of 
the  State  troops."  Any  one  who  has  been  in  the 
habit  of  reading  that  so-called  "  militarv  journal"  for 
a  considerable  period  mu-sthaveseen  that  its  "news," 
ftt  least  so  far  as  the  First  and  Second  Divisions  are 
coni'emed,  is  nearly  always  published  after  it  has 
apptiared  in  this  column,  and  It  might  secure  the 
'•largo  circulation"  which  it  appears  to  begrudge  the 
doilies  publishing  " military  columns,"  by  occasion- 
ally printing  legitimate  "news"  of  its  own. 

Battery  K,  Artillery,  held  a  pic-nic  and  Sum- 
mer night's  festival  at  Elm  Park,  Thirty-second-street 
and  Kinth-avenue.  last  Wednesday  evening.  Major 
Hoelzie  and  his  officers  entertained  their  guests  In 
royal  style,  and  everything  passed  off  smoothly.  The 
Separate  Troop  Cavalry,  28  men,  Major  Karl  Klein 
commanding,  arrived  at  tho  park  at  5  P.  M.,  and  vras 
greeted  with  a  salute  from  tne  guns  of  the  battery. 
The  arrival  of  Battery  B  and  Washington  Grey 
Cavalry,  at  8  P.  M.,  was  similarly  announced,  and 
after  the  ^'isiting  soldiers  had  been  entertained  at 
dinner  by  the  ofl&cers  of  Battery  K.  all  hands  joined 
iu  the  dance,  in  which  Corp.  Jacob  Platz,  of  the 
Separate  Troop,  exhibited  his  usual  grace  as  a 
•'terpsichorean/'  The  Washington  Grey  Troop  was 
represented  by  20  members,  and  25  members  of 
Battery  B  were  present.  Among  other  prominent 
guests  present  were  Gen.  Vilmar,  of  the  Second  Brig- 
ade :  Col.  Carl  Juasen,  Col.  C.  B.  Mitchell,  and  CoL 
Iselin,  of  Gen.  .Shttler*s  staff,  and  Capt.  Heubner.

par.ide  at  6  o'clock. 

Ex-<:;apt.  William  J.  Harding  has  been  ap-_ 
pointed  Adjutant  Twenty-second  Infantry,  vice  Way- 
dell  promoted ;  a  position  which  he  formeriy  filled 
for  a  period  of  over  three  years  with  great  ability. 
Adjutant  Harding  has  a  good  record.  He  en- 
listed in  Company  B  Jnly  15.  1867 ;  was 
commissioned  Fiist  Lieutenant  and  Adjutant 
Oct.  11,  1869,  which  position  he  filled  to 
tho  satisfaction  of  bis  commander  until  elected 
Captain  of  Company  B,  Jan.  7,  1 873,  vice 
Colfax  resigned.  He  was  commissioned  Captain 
Jan.  21,  1873;  mustered  as  Captain  Oct.  17,  1873, 
by  Major  Hall,  Brigade  Inspector,  and  was  discharged 
Jan.  2o,  1376.  Besides  the  foregoing.  Adjutant 
Harding  has  an  excellent  rt«ular  army  record,  which 
he  has  reason  to  be  proud  of.  It  l£  generally  admit- 
ted by  the  regiment  that  Capt.  Hardmg  was  the  heat 
-Adintant  fbftt  the  Twenty-Mcond  ever  had,  and  thf 


■'Defeadams'*  msr  he  eawwtalated  on  haTfng  him

greodng  in  thU  command,  and  hlauca  eatned  by  ftU- 
efaaigea  and  other  cnueB  are  rapidly  being  flUsd  xnp. 
The  Ei^th  Regiment,  CoL  Oeoi^  D.  Scott 
commanding,  will  assemble  at  the  armory  in  dtlzen'e 
drefts  on  Tuesday  evening,  2l8t  instant,  to  sign  the 
pay-rolls  for  State  service  daring  the  late  riots.  It  is 
important  that  everr  member  who  performed  duty 
on  that  occasion  should  be  present.  The  commandant 
in  orders  expresses  his  high  appreciation  for  the 
promptness  with  which  they  responded  to  the  order 
of  the  Commander-in-Chief  for  troops  to  suppress 
the  riots  existing  in  the  interior  of  the  State,  as  well 
as  the  discipline  and  spirit  shown  by  officers  and  men 
whne  on  duty,  in  sustaining  the  honor  and  reputation 
of  the  National  Guard.  Commandants  of  Companies 
H  and  I  are  directed  hi  orders  to  detail  five  men  to 
act  as  scorers  at  Creedmoor  on  Thursday,  23d 
instant,  to  report  at  Thirty-fourth- Street  Ferry  at 
8:15  A.  M. 

Col.  Hermann  '^Jhl,  Paymaster-General  of  the 
troops  in  this  State,  has  issued  a  circular  to  the 
several  organizations  as  follows  :  "The  following  in- 
structions for  making  out  the  pay-rolls  of  the  several 
organizations  of  the  National  Guard  of  the  State  of 
New-York,  called  Into  service  by  recent  orders  of  tho 
Commander-in-Chief,  will  be  strictly  complied  with : 
'  All  rolls  must  be  made  out  in  triplicate,  and  si^ed  by 
the  person  himself  to  whom  pav  Is  due,  in  the  col- 
umn beaded  "  Signatures,"  and  his  signature  must  be 
witnessed,  preferably  by  a  commissioned  officer  of 
the  troop,  battery,  or  company  to  which 
such  person  is  attached.  The  officer  who 
witnesses  the  signature  will  sign  his  name  in  the  col- 
umn headed  "Witness."  TheserollsmustbefiUed  out 
only  for  pay  proper ;  charges  for  transportation, 
subsistence.  &c.,  must  be  mode  out  on  separate  bills, 
in  triplicate,  receipted  nnd  transmitted  to  the  Adju- 
tant-General through  the  commandant  of  the  divi- 
sion. OS  directed  In  circular  No.  2.  dated  Adjutant- 
General's  office,  July  30.  1S77.  Pay  for  two  addi- 
tiomtl  days  will  be  allowed  to  the  commandant  of 
eatfh  company  for  preparation  of  tho  rolls.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  tne  utmost  dispatch  will  be  used  In  the 
completion  of  these  rolls,  so  that  payment  maybe 
made  with  as  little  delay  aa  possible. 

The  Seventh  Regiment  and  the  Veteran  As- 
sociation of  the  National  Qtiard  will  have  a  joint 
parade  on  Thursday,  Sept.  27,  on  which  occasion  the 
comer-stone  of  tho  new  armory  will  be  laid.  This 
ceremony  will  probably  be  performed  by  the  Gover- 
nor or  the  Mayor,  who  will  also  review  the  troops. 
Of  course  the  active  regiment  will  turn  out  very 
near  its  full  strength  to  honor  such  an  important 
event,  and  CoL  Pond  and  Adjt.  Bostwick,  of  the 
Veteran  Association,  are  endeavoring  to  secure  a 
large  representation  of  uniformed  members  of  the 
corps.  The  number  already  provided  with  ufttforms 
Is  something  over  275,  aud  there  is  no  good  reason 
why  the  corps  should  not  parade  500  uniformed 
members  on  that  occasion.  The  effect  upon  the  pub- 
lic of  such  a  display  of  disciplined  Militia  would  so  a 
long  way  toward  procuring  the  necessary  funds  for 
continuing  and  completing  tho  work  of  erecUng  the 
new  armory.  The  celhir  has  been  dug  and  the 
foundation  walls  have  been  completed  up  to  the 
weather  table,  the  cost  being  $30,000.  Already 
$83,573  have  been  subscribed,  and  over  two-thirds 
of  that  amount  has  been  paid  in.  Probably  no  fur- 
ther work  will  hv  done  on  the  building  until  Spring, 
when  the  contract  for  putting  up  the  £ror<;  building 
will  be  awarded.  The  veterans  will  assemble  at  I)el- 
mouicos  at  2  o'clock  on  the  day  of  the  parade,  and 
the  line  of  march  will  be  taken  directly  up  Flftb-ave- 
nue. 

The  First  Regiment,  Connecticot  National 
Guard,  had  quite  a  pleasant  excursion  last  week. 
Leaving  New-Haven  by  the  steamer  Granite  State, 
it  arrived  at  Long  Branch  at  7  o'clock  Thursday 
morning.  After  stacking  arms  on  the  lawn  in  front 
of  the  United  States  Hotel,  the  men  enjoyed  a  salt 
water  bath  previous  to  being  entertained  at  dinner 
by  the  proprietors  of  the  United  States  Hotel.  At 
2:30  P.M.  a  dress  parade  was  performed  on  the 
lawn,  and  that  terminated  the  festivities,  for  before 
the  command,  "  parade  is  dismissed,"  was  given,  the 
rain,  which  had  been  thre,-)tenlng  for  some  time, 
come  down  in  torrents,  and  the  men  being  compelled 
to  take  their  departure  were  thoroughly  drenched 
before  they  reached  the  boat.  Upon  arriving  In  tWs 
City  the  regiment  was  met  by  the  Ninth,  under" 
whose  escort  a  line  of  march  was  taken  to  the  plaza, 
where  both  conmiauds  were  reviewed  by  Gen.  Vil- 
mar, commanding  the  Second  Brigade,  and  staff. 
Of  the  latter  there  were  present  Col.  Van 
Wyck,  Major  Karle,  Major  Powell,  Major 
Koch.  Major  Or\-ia.  Capt.  Webb  Otpt.  Scott, 
Capt.  Bemdt  and  Capt.  Gilsey.  The  Ninth  wus 
equalized  In  10  comnmnds  of'  20  files  frtjut,  and 
marched  handsomely.  One  Captain  failed  to  salute 
the  reviewing  officer,  but  otherwise  no  errors  were 
apparent  The  equalization  of  the  First  Regiment 
was  six  companies  of  16  and  two  of  14  files  front. 
Their  moreniug  was  not  up  to  the  standard,  and 
three  of  the  Captains  neglected  to  salute  the  review- 
ing officer.  The  eveninv  was  spent  In  mutual  enjoy- 
ment by  both  comman<u,  and  at  midnight  the  ^rst 
Regiment  departed  for  Connecticut. 

Col.  Da\id  E.  Austen,  in  a  circular  assuming 
command  of  the  Thirteenth  Regiment,  pays  a  com- 
pliment to  tho  past  record  of  his  new  command,  and 
doaoa  with  tho  following  pithy  remarkK :  "  A  rigid 
discipline,  essential  to  the  successful  management  of 
any  well-conducted  military  organi.  ation.  will  bo  en- 
forced with  both  offlcors  and  members,  and  no  excuse 
will  prevent  any  breach  of  military  discipline  or 
orders  being  tried  In  the  proper  way  before  the  legal- 
ly constituted  authority.  To  aid  in  the.se  eflforts  co- 
operation la  reciue.Hted,  and  Ut  you.  as  gentlemen  and 
citizen  soldiers,  having  a  high  ambition  u>  excoL  no 
furtlior  appeal  will  be  considered  necessary  than 
that  which  is  now  made  to  your  honor  and  pride. 
Governing  yourselves  by  a  lovt»  lor  your  regununt, 
jealous  of  your  own  sucress.  and  actuated  by  all  the 
higher  impulses  which  coutrol  man  in  bis"  contact

all  the  proud  old  memories  of  the  past,  you  will  ftnd 
that  success  must  follow  all  well-directed  efforts  and 
will  aUend  the  future  of  the  '  Old  Thirteenth'" 
This  command  will  go  to  Creedmoor  for  rifle  prac- 
tice next  Friday.  The  rt-inUar head-quarter  nights  of 
tho  regiment  will  hereaiiur  bo  on  Fridays,  and  tho

SLAVQUTERISO  CATTLE  WITH  DYNAMITE . 
The  London  PallMall(jmetteQtJM\y'24  says: 
"  An  interesting  experiment  was  made  last  week  at 
a  horse-slaughtering  establishment  at  Dudley, 
with  the  view  of  testing  a  new  system  of  slaugh- 
tering cattle  by  means  of  dynamite,  and  thtLs  putting 
them  out  of  existence  more  speedily  and  with  less 
suffering  than  by  the  ordinary  pole-axe.  Two  large 
powerful  horses  and  a  donkay  (disabled  for  work) 
were  ranged  In  aline  about  half  a  yard  apart,  under  a 
shed,  the  donkey  being  placed  in  tho  centre.  A  small 
primer  of  dynamite,  with  an  electric  fuse  attached, 
was  then  placed  on  each  of  their  foreheads  and 
fastened  in  position  by  a  piece  of  string  under  the 
jow.  The  wires  were  then  coupled  up  in  circuit,  and 
attached  to  the  electric  machine,  which  stood  about 
five  yards  In  front.  The  handle  of  the  machine  being 
then  turned,  on  electric  current  was  discharged,  which 
exploded  the  three  charges  Mimultaneously,  and  the 
animals  instantly  fell  dead  without  a  struggle.  The 
whole  affair  was  over  in  two  minutes,  and  the  experi- 
ment appears  to  have  been  a  perfect  snccess.  It  was 
conducted  by  Mr.  John-son,  f^nt  for  Nobel's  Explo- 
sives Company,  Glasgow,  assisted  by  Mr.  Harris,  ono 
of  the  dj-namlte  instruk^tors.  By  this  means,  it  is 
stated,  any  number,  even  a  hundred  or  more,  cattle 
may  be  instantly  killed  by  the  same  current  of 
electricity.  There  connot  be  a  dotxbt  that  the  present 
system  of  slaughtering  cattle  Is  oped  to  the  charge 
of  being  cruel  and  barbarous,  and  the  slightest 
want  of  skill  on  the  part  of  the  slaughterer  often 
subjects  the  unhappy  beasts  to  horrible  tortnre. 
Any  attempt  to  extinguish  life  painlessly  is  a  step  in 
the  right  du*oction,  not  only  as  regrurds  cattle,  but 
also  as  regards  criminals  sentenced  to  capital  ptmish- 
ment,  whose  case  equally  deserves  consideratioi^  " 

COAL  MIXERS'  WAQES. 
President  Gowen,  of  the  Reading  Coal  and 
Iron  Company,  has  written  the  following  letter  In 
reference  to  the  adjustment  of  miners'  wages  for 
August:  "We  have  received  notice  that  three  of  our 
collieries  have  been  drawn  among  the  five  to  de- 
termine the  rate  of  wages  for  August.  Under  otir 
agreement  with  the  men  the  price  of  coal  of  the  pre- 
ceding month  (istablishes  the  rate  of  wages  for  the 
succeeding  one,  and  thus  the  wages  for  August  would 
be  based  upon  the  price  of  coal  in  July,  which  was 
probably  the  lowest  of  the  year.  As  there  has  been 
already  some  advance  of  prices  in  August,  and  will 
probably  be  a  much  larger  advance  m  September, 
and  as  our  men  have  behaved  so  well  during  the 
recent  troubles,  I  feel  disposed  to  give  them  the 
benefit  of  the  advance  of  prices  aa  they  occur,  and 
not  to  take  advantage  of  the  strict  terms  of  our  con- 
tract, under  which  we  would  have  the  right  to  pay 
August  wages  based  ui>on  Jnly  prices.  We  will. 
therefore,  not  make  any  return  at  the  usual  time  of 
July  prices,  but  If  the  men  continue  to  behave  as 
well  as  they  have  done,  we  will,  at  the  end  of  August, 
return  the  higher  prices  of  that  month  for  the  wasea 
of  August  and  so  on  during  the  year,  and  I  have  but 
little  doubt  that  the  individtial  coal  operators  will 
unite  with  us  in  this  course." 


Alf  OLD  COUPLE'S  wsoopixaoouon. 

The  Bangor  (Me.)  Whig  of  Friday  Says:  "Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Benjamin  B.  Bradbury^  an  aged  couple  liv- 
ing on  Pine-street,  have  been  married  about  55 
years,  reared  a  large  family  of  children  that  were 
subject  to  the  diseases  of  childhood  including  whoop- 
ing-cough, without  taklne  that  disease  themselves. 
Some  months  Blnce  Mr.  Bradhtiry  and  wife,  while 
visiting  a  daughter  who  had  children  sick  with  the 
whooping-cougn,  took  it  from  them,  and  have  been 
severely  afflicted  with  it,  particularly  Mrs.  Bradbury, 
for  some  two  months."

lyxm.  Philadelphia:  J.  B.  LumsKXTT  *  Co. 
1«77. 

Hr.  Leeda  has  put  toKether  a  bandy  book 
tf  Ameriesn  history,  designed  for  genwml 
leading  and  for  Boademiea,  which  is  to  faring 
Into  prominence  points  of  resUy  great  Im- 
portknce  to  the  nation,  bat  which  have  received 
from  most  historians  very  tittle  notice.  Ee  ra- 
eaUa  his  own  experience  of  the  study  of  history 
In  a  school  of  Philadelphia,  where  the  pupils 
yten  exercised  in  rehearsing  the  wars  of  their 
conntry,  atthoogh  they  were  residing  in  the 
City  of  "  Brotherly  Ijove."  Each  boy  was  fur- 
nished with  amemorandum-book,  and  required 
to  transcribe  briefly  the  battles  of  the  Revolu- 
tion and  of  the  War  of  1812.  In  consequence 
of  this  drUl  the  boys  remained  extremely  igno- 
rant as  to  matters  relative  to  the  Indians,  the 
slaves,  and  other  things  of  eqaal  beariniEt  on 
the  well-being  of  the  country,  while  they  knew 
all  the  battles  fought  by  onr  forefathers.  It 
also  resulted  in  an  intensely  partisan  feel- 
ing, so  that  the  name  of  "  British " 
or  **  Slexlcan "  became  a  hateful  sound. 
**  Indeed,"  says  ilr.  Leeds,  *'  our  prin- 
cipal concern  appeared  to  be  to  learn  how 
much  ereater  was  tho  battle-loss  in  killed  and 
wounded  on  the  part  of  the  British  than  was 
that  of  the  Americans.  The  moral  loss  occa- 
sioned by  a  state  of  warfare,  together  with  the 
exceeding  expensiveness,  we  bad  no  conception 
of."  Mr.  Leeds  wishes,  therefore,  to  supply 
the  grave  defects  of  other  histories  by  giving 
their  legitimate  value  to,  the  arts  of  peace,  tlx 
political  movements,  and  to  relej^tSL  wars  to 
fheir  just  position  as  mers  disturbing  agwjitsjj)/ 
the  true  march  of  the  country  toward  prosper- 
ity and  renown.  He  points  out  the  evil  effect  on 
young  persons  of  accustoming  their  minds  to 
gidry  in  deeds  of  bloodshed,  and  advocates  the 
employment  of  careful  and  intelligent  compari- 
•ons  whereby  pupils  will  discover  in  what  di- 
rection the  country  is  drifting  ;  whether  we,  as 
a  people,  are  in  danger  of  becoming  corrupt  by 
any  low  estimate  of  honor,  truth,  or  equality  of 
rights. 

A  history  written  on  thl3  plan,  and  condensed 
Into  the  limits  of  an  octavo,  is  necessarily  some- 
what dry.  Enthusiasm  is  readily  aroiised  in 
the  heart  of  a  boy  by  tales  of  war,  but  when  it 
comes  to  cotton-gins  and  Calhoun  his 
attention  will  be  bard  to  .fl.t.  llr. 
Iieeds  is  not  a  smooth  or  picturesque  historian, 
but  his  purpose  is  ^ood  and  his  book  solid  and 
straightforward.  We  should  judge  it  much 
more  apppropriate  as  a  text  book  for  academies 
than  for  the  general  reader,  but  even  the  latter 
will  find  much  of  interest.  The  standpoint 
from  which  ilr.  Leeds  writes  makes  a  good 
deal  that  is  old  novel  in  appearance.  lie  is  a 
consistent  advocate  of  peace,  and  dues  not 
spare  to  call  a  conqueror  a  pirate  and  murderer 
^because  his  Wctims  were  red  men.  The  slave 
/question  is  not  neglected,  and,  in  the  last  10 
•years,  the  question  of  teraperance.  From  his 
use  of  Second  month  for  February,  Third  month 
for  March,  &c.,  we  suppose  Sir.  Leeds  belongs  to 
the  Socierv  of  Friends. 


ALir^TDE:  ni  LOVS  VESTfRE-S.  XewYork:  CuilLls 

P.  SOMJEICBT.       1877.  ^      -  ■ 

Harry  Julian  and  his  friends  Tom  and 
Dick  capsize  in  the  South  Pacitic  and  land  on 
an  island  of  coral,  fruit  trees,  and  cockatoos, 
where  all  the  native  men  are  Apollos  and  the 
women  dreams  of  beauty.  They  marry  tho 
island  girls  and  become  persons  of  note  in  the 
liigrhly-colored  landscape.  In  course  of  ,time 
they  go  with  the  natives  to  another  tsland.where 
'the  chief  of  the  archipelaq:i>  is  to  b^  elected.  At 
this  point  it  becomes  manifest  that  the  story  is 
a  framework  in  which  a  satire  of  tho  United 
States  Government  is  sot  Allusions  to  persons 
and  things  in  Washington  become  frequent, 
and  when  we  reach  *'  Toldano  "  as  the  choice  of 
one  party,  and  ''  Hawassi  "  as  the  candidate  of  the 
other,  we  are  sure  that  this  is  not  intended  for 
a  mere  dime  novel  or  book  of  boys'  adventure, 
but  a  political  satire.  Grant  is  brought  in  as 
Naalatoo,  and  his  **  bull  pups  *'  afford  heavy 
sport.  Senator  Morton  is  named  outright.  The 
political  deadlock  of  last  Winter  is  parodied  by 
the  contest  between  Toldanoans  and  followers  of 
Hawassi.  The  latter  answer  all  appeals  by  saying 
••  We  can't  so  under  the  lids!"  meaning  the 
lids  of  the  boxes  containing  votes.  Religious 
subjects  are  also  ventilated  in  connection  with 
an  effort  on  the  part  of  Tom,  Dick,  and  Harry, 
who  are  of  different  denominations,  to  convert 
the  chief  of  the  island  on  which  they  were 
wrecked.  The  wit  is  as  watery  as  the  landscape 
In  this  sketchy  book  of  fiction,  and  no  surprise 
will  be  felt  when  persons  are  found  who  attri- 
bute its  authorship  to  Hon.  8.  S.  Cox.  The 
writer  purports  to  tie  a  Government  clerk  at 
■Washington. 

ARISTOTLE.  By  Sir  Al.i:n.vi>tu  r,RA.VT.  Principal  t.f 
the  Cniveniitj-  of  E.linbar»lj.  r  Philadelphia :  J.  B. 
LlFPC'COTF  A  Co.    1SJ77. 

Rev.  W.  Lucas  Collins,  M.  A.,   has  been 
editing  a  scries  of  ancient  classics  for  English 
readers,  each  volume  of  small  size  and  condensed 
In  cbaractrr.    It  began  with  volumes  of  the 
Iliad  and  Odyssey,  by  the  editor,  as  well  as  Vir- 
gil, Cicero,  Aristophanes,  and  Lucian.    A  sup- 
:plementary   series  was    then    undertaken,' of 
which  the  present  volume  is  one.     Sir  Aloxan-- 
der  Grant  begins  with  a  sketch  of  Aristotle's 
life,  and  tells  the  eventful  history  of  his  writ- 
ings ;  how  they  were  bequeathed  to  a  nephew,  f 
and  by  him  to  a  favorite  pupLl,-who  .took  them^ 
from  Athens  over  into  Asia  Minor,   and  there 
buried  them ;  how  they  eventtially  got  to  Bome, 
and  were  edited  there  according  to  the  methods 
'then  in  vogue.    Cbapter  HL  commences  on'  the 
"  Oraanon,"  or  instrtunent  which  formedithe 
porch  to  Aristotle's  marvelous  system  of  human 
knowledge.     In    succeeding  -  chapters  we  are' 
t^ld,  concisely  and  clearly,   about  the  several 
great  divisions  in  the  philosopher's  work,  and  the 
last  chsptor  is  devoted  to  a  sketch  of  the  conrsa ' 
nincetho  Christian  era  of  those  ideas  first  stated  i 
or  first  written  dawn  by  Aristotle. «  The  whole  T 
P>ook  is  written  in  a  very  sober  and 'clear  spirit,  f 
and  is  well  adapted  to  the  needs  of  students  jast*f 
abouttoenteron the  readingof  Aristotle  ;  it  will 
give  them  a  eomprehenal7e>ovarsight  of '  thej 
man  and    his     services   to 'human j  thought.  [

HAKPER'S  MAZ.1ZIJJE. 
The  Septembor  number  of  ffarper's  has 
a  pleasant  piece  of  writing  by  Helen  S.  Conant 
descriptive  of  the  lifo,  person,  and  works  of  the 
Venetian  pauiter  Titian  Vecellio.  It  is  founded 
on  two  Uvea  of  the  painter,  one  by  J.  A.  Crowe 
and  6.  B.  Cavalcaselle,  the  other  by  Josiah  Gil- 
bert, and  referring  more  particularly  to  the 
mountainous  district  to  the  north  of  Venice 
which  gave  Titian  birth.  This  was  the  District 
of  Cadore,  and  his  native  village  was  called 
Pieve.  Mrs.  Conant  gives  a  woodcut  of  Ti- 
tian's picture  of  the  battle  of  Cadore,  which 
checked  the  advance  of  the  Austrians  into 
Italy  in  1507.  The  first  sketch  of  Titian  for 
one  of  the  most  prominent  figures  in  the  fore- 
ground is  also  supplied.  Several  other  famous 
works  by  him  aro  here  in-  the  coarse  print  of 
wood-cuts:  The  '*  Madonna  and  Antcel-^,"  from 
the  Uflizi  in  Florence;  "Artless  and  Sated 
Love,"  from  the  Borgbese  at  Rome;  the  "As- 
sumption of  the  Virgin,"  the  "Head  of  the 
Christ  of  the  Tribute-money,"  the  "  Martyrdom 
of  St  Peter,"  "Presentation  of  the  Virgin," 
and  a  number  more.  Patriotic  as  well  as  timely 
Is  the  paper  that  follows.  H.  W.  Herrick  tells 
about  "  Gen.  Stark  and  the  Battle  of  Beuniug- 
too,"  the  centennial  anniversary  of  which  has 
recently  been  celebrated  in  Vermont.  After 
Stork  had  won  the  battle  and  been  made  a  full 
Brigadier-General  he  appears  to  have  suffered 
from  horse-thieves,  possibly  on  account  of  his 
newly-acquired  reputation ;  for  the  Connecticut 
Courant  of  Oct.  7,  1777,  has  the  following 
notice ;

John  Muir  contributes  a  paper  on  a  "  Snow- 
storm on  Mount  Shasta."  with  -various  wood- 
cuts of  places  and  poiuLs  of  interest.  He  gives 
a  list  of  the  coniferous  trees  found  growing 
upon  Blount  Shasta,  and  enters  into  the  subject 
of  vef^etatioa  generally.  He  distinguishes 
threo  botanic  zones  on  the  mountains,  an  Al- 
pine, a  fir.  and  a  chaitparal  zone.  The  Alpine 
zone  is  made  up  of  dwarf  pines,  heath-worts, 
stiff,  wiry  carices.  lichens,  and  red  snow.  At  an 
elevation  of  9..'>(K>  feet,  the  pines  aro  only  throe 
or  four  feet  high,  and  are  close-pressed  and 
level,  as  if  crushed  by  Winter  snow  and  shorn 
off  by  the  icy  winds.  Dwarf  daisies  and  carices 
attain  an  elevation  of  1 1,000  feet  on  favorable 
slopes,  while  beyond  this  is  a  scanty  ^rowth  of 
lichens  and  red  snow.  Then  we  are  told  of  tho 
sufferings  of  the  writer  and  his  guide  when 
overtaken  by  a  storm  on  the  summit  As 
Shasta  is  a  nearly  extinct  volcano  there  are 
places  where  the  ground  is  hot.  In  such  a  spot 
the  two  men  lay  for  17  hours  without 
covering  of  any  kind,  while  tho  snow  fell  and 
the  wind  reduced  their  animal  heat  to  a  mini- 
mum. Further  illustrated  articles  are  de- 
scriptions of  tho  lading  of  a  ship  in 
New-York,  and  tho  principal  points  of 
scenery  on  Prince  Edward  Island.  The  Xew- 
York  locil  article  is  by  Ernest  Ingersoll,  tho 
other  by  S.  G.  W.  Benjamin.  Harriet  Prescott 
Spofford  contributes  a  good-sized  piece  of  vcrae, 
with  two  illustrations  by  Alfred  Fredericks,  and 
Horace  E.  Scudder  tells  about  the  classical 
schools  which  send'  the  crack  scholars  of  each 
freshman  year  to  Yale  and  Harvard.  College 
men  will  be  interested  in  his  account 
of  tho  preparatory  schools  at  Andover, 
Exeter,  and  Quiney.  Tho  last-  is  a 
comparatively  new  foundation  which 
aims  at  results  according  to  the  most  mod- 
em theories  of  sub-collegiate  education. 
Prof.  Draper  has  a  sixth  installment  of  his  i)op- 
ular  expositions  of  some  scicntifio  .  experi- 
ments. They  are  as  Interesting  as  ever,  but  the 
term  popular  will  have  to  be  a  good  deal 
stretched  to  cover  some  portions  of  the  text. 
Scientiflc  and  mathematical  terms  are  used  thSt 
few  people  know  anything  about  except  those 
who  have  recently  studied'in  the  fields  to  which 
they  refer.  Leonard  W.  Bacon  has  a  noticea- 
ble paper  on  "  American  Workmen  From  a 
European  Point  of  View,"  in  which  he  takes  up 
the  statements  of  the-  Commissioners  from 
Switzerland  to  the  Centenitial  Exhibition,  by 
which  they  recently  alarmed  the  mannf  actnrers 
of  that  country  and  France  with  detailed  ac- 
counts of  the  increasing  superiority  of  Ameri- 
can manufactured  goods.  >  JUr.  Bacon  tays,  in 
regard  to  the  opinions  in  Switzerland ; 

"At  first  thought  it  was  apposed  that  the  supe- 
rior advantages  of  the  Am^^^an  manufacturer  arose 
from  his  use  of  machinery  for  operations  that  con- 
tinue in  the  Old  World  to  be  wrought  out  by  hand- 
work. If  this  were  all,  or  nearly  all,  it  would  be  an 
easy  matter  to  import  or  to  imitate  the  machinery — 
there. are  Tto  patent  laws  in  S^ritzerland — and,  by 
combiniog  capital  in  ^eat  establisliments,  to  go  on 
with  their  business  with  the  double  advantage  of  the 
low  wages  and  abnnd&nt  skilled  labor  of  the  Old 
World  and  the  organization  and  appliances  of  the 
New.    One  eminent  American  house,  however,   with 

.  ample  capital  bad  made  this  hopeful  but  expensive 
experiment-  'The  finest  business  edifice  in  Geneva 
was  built,  three  or  four  years  ago  by  -Americans,  and 
stocked  with  the  best  American  watch-making  ma- 
eidnery.  The  most  sklllfid  Oeneva  watchnmkers 
were  sought  for  at  high  wages — high,  that  is,  for 
Switzerland,  but  low  for  America — and  the  world 
looked  for  a  splendid    anwess.    But    the  beautiful 

^  building  is  now  let  out  in  lodgings,  and  the  machines 

■'are  advertised  for  sale.  Evidently  tho  secret  of 
American  success  lay  in  something  else.  I  have  fol- 
lowed the  conjectures  and  proposals  of   the  Swiss 

'  newspapers  on  tliis  point  with  great  interest.  They 
demand  patent  laws  for  the  encouragement  of  in- 
vention, schools  of  technical  instruction  for  artisans, 
relief  from  the  interruption  of  work  by  Militia  ser- 
vice, and  other  Governmental  palliatives  ;  but  they 
do  not  touch  the  main  point  of  the  superiority  of  the 

.American  manufactories,   and  that  u  tht  personal 

'auperiorityo/  the  Ameri£an  vjorkman.^*

From  our  Oton  Corrtv^ondeAt, 
LuOHON,  Pyreaees,  Saturday,  Aug.  4,  1877. 

I  have  now  had  a  week's  rest  in  this  splen- 
did mountain  air.  The  greatest  trouble  with  it 
ia  the  distance  from  Paris  ;  but  one  is  really 
recompensed  for  the  wearisome  journey  on  ar- 
riTing.  The  air  is  pure,  healthful,  and  bracing, 
the  scenery  is  magfniflcent.  "We  left  Paris  at  8 
o'clo<:k  in  the  evening,  aud  when  morning  came 
were  very  far  into  the  interior.  The  fields  were 
in  magnificent  condition,  and  tho  harvesters 
were  at  work  in  every  direction.  The  crops  are 
excellent,  and,  fortunately  for  France^  unusually 
abundant.  At  Toulouse  we  had  a  rest  of 
two  hoiirs,  and  then  took  the  line  of  tbe 
Compagnie  de  Jlidi  for  tho  Pyrenees.  Rain  be- 
gan to  fall  when  we  were  crossiog  tho  vine- 
covered  plains  beyond  Toulouse,  and  dense 
masses  of  cloud  bung  about  the  mountains, 
sometimes  descending  low  enough  to  fill  the 
valleys  with  mist,  sometimes  rising  to  the  peaks, 
and  concealing  the  summits  from  our  view,  ll 
was  late  in  tlie  afternoon  when  we  arrived  at 
>Iontr«jean,  after  traversing  a  broad  and  fertile 
plain,  a  wine-growing  region,  and  here  we 
changed  cars  again,  taking  the  road  which 
winds  about  the  mountains  in  a  most  wonderful 
manner,  and  terminates  at  Bagoeres-de-Luchon, 
not  far  from  the  Spanish  frontier. 

The  trip  up  from  Montr^jeau  was  delightful. 
The  sun  was  lost  to  sight  behind  tlie  mountains, 
the  tops  of  which  were  brilliantly  tinted,  while 
the  valley  lay  in  a  soft  shadow  very  agreeable 
to  the  eyes.  Night  was  near  at  hand,  and  tli*; 
people  were  returning  from  their  day's  work  in 
the  field,  dri\-ing  their  animals  home,  and  in 
the  hamlets  the  peasant  girls  wore  gathering 
for  their  evening  gossip  with  the  jrara  who 
hung  modestly  about  them.  After  the  giddy 
whirl  of  Paris  life  it  rejoiced  one  to  see  this 
quiet,  peaceful.  and  laborious  popula- 
tion, content  to  lubor  in  their  beautiful 
green  valleys,  without  occupying  themselves 
with  the  rest  of  the  world.  To  them  it  makes 
very  little  difference  what  the  •Government  of 
Paris  may  be,  for,  like  the  Vicar  of  Bray,  they 
do  not  care  what  King  reigns  so  long  as  tlic}' 
are  left  in  peace.  Whatever  the  name  of  the 
Chief  of  State,  they  arc  satisfied,  for  Monsieur 
le  Mairo  is  always  there  to  care  for  their  births; 
marriages,  and  deaths,  and  tho  Receiver  comes 
round  regularly  for  His  taxes.  But  a  majority 
of  the  people  in  this  section  are  Bonapartist. 
not  because  thfv  huvo  any  Imperialist  proclivi- 
ties, but  because  Napoleon  took  good  cart.*  to 
have  their  comuiunal  roads  repaired,  and  it 
was  he  who  pushed  the  railway  through  for  the 
purpose  of  giving  them  accos;s  to  a  market. 

The  Pyrenean  valleys  are  very  beautiful. 
They  are  watered  by  streams  that  are  clear  as 
crystal,  along  which  lie  green  and  verdant 
meadows  rich  enough  to  gladden  the  heart  of 
any  farmer.  The  pasturage  is  superb,  and  I 
was  surprised  to  find  so  few  cattle.  A  traveling 
companion  explained  that  the  live  stock  of  these 
mountain  farmers  remains  in  the  hills  duriug 
the  wliole  Summer,  uud  descend  wht,*u  the  crops 
are  gathered  in  to  tV-cd  upon  tho  grass 
in  tho  valleys.  A  few  milch  rows  and 
i;oats  are  kept  near  the  hamlet,  and 
as  we  approached  Luchon  wo  saw 
them  comingdown  tht*  hilKides  in  every  dirc-- 
tiou  in  response  to  the  horns  of  the  shopher'ls. 
After  passing  the  Valley  of  the  Garonne  the 
railway  enters  the  Vallev  do  la  Pi'iuo.  one  of 
tho  most  picturentiue  sections  of  country  that  1 
have  ever  seen.  Therta  are  small  hamlets  in 
every  valley,  ami  between  them  splouilid  farms, 
nicely  tended  an'l  cultivated.  Bat.  as  in  all 
mountainous  region.s,  there  is  a  great  ileal  of 
waste  land,  or  land  whi(*h  cannot  bo  cultivated. 
The  niountiLiu  sides  ar«*  covered  with  I()W  scrub- 
by piues  iu  some  places,  and  iu  others  by 
beechpp  that  only  grow  to  a  certain  height. 
Ab  •••('  the  woo<l3  one  sees  rocky  towers  rising 
tov..ir'h  the  clouds,  and  here  and  there  small 
u:i>i--  -.  in  which  herds  of  cattle  or  docks  of  sheep 
are  ■;  '.ietly  feeding.  Tho  mountains  are 
the  !  "operty  of  the  Commune,  and,  as 
ban-'-i:  ;iS  they  appear,  they  bring  in  a 
han  :.'i-:ne  revenue.  In  tho  first  place 
tht-re  is  tlie  wood,  which  is  cut  off  annually  aud 
sent  t»»  market.  Secondly,  the  farmers  who 
send  their  entile  into  the  mountains  lo  feedupon 
the  communal  lands  pay  a  small  sum  per  head 
for  the  privilege.  This  forms  the  chief  revenue 
of  the  Commune,  and  not  only  pays  the  expenses 
of  administration,  but  leaves  a  margin  for  repair- 
ing the  roads.  •  Tno  Pique  is  a  beautiful  l.ttle 
river,  with  a  very  rapid  descent,  full  of  rocks  and 
cascades,  and,  I  may  add,  full  of  tho  beautiful 
spotted  brook  trout  so  abundant  in  America, 
Great  quantities  of  them  are  taken  in  the  Pique, 
but  not  enough  to  supply  the  demand,  Th'>y 
are  regarded  everywhere  as  a  great  delicacy. 
Small  trout  are  captured  in  most  of  the  mount- 
ain streams,  and  every  day  basketsfol  are 
brought  across  the  Spanish  frontier. 

It  was  late  in  the  evening  when  we  arrived  at 
the  station  of  Luchon,  but  still  light  enough  to 
see  the  town  and  its  surroundings,  •*  Lying  in 
a  smiling  valley,  sheltered  by  high  mountains, 
two  towns  are  indolently  stretched  out  upon  tho 
banks  of  a  torrent."  the  guide-book  of  Luchon 
says,  and  it  adds  that  they  are  the  dautjhtera  of 
the  same  father,  though  of  diilerent  appearance 
and  tastes.  In  plain  language  this  means  that 
there  is  the  old  town  of  Luchon  with  its  nativo 
population,  and  beside  it  the  new  town  with  its 
notels,  its  casino,  its  thermal  establishments, 
and  its  villas.  It  is  by  the  old  town  that  we  ar- 
rive, and  after  passing  through  its  narrow  and 
tortuous  streets  we  enter  the  main  avenue  of  the 
modem  fashionable  watering-place.  There  was 
no  difficulty  about  getting  rooms,  for  the  town 
is  far  from  full,  and,  although  the  season  is  al- 
ready far  advanced,  rich  strangers  fail  lo  put  in 
an  appearance.  Theinhabitantsarecomplaining 
bitterly.  The  hoteU  are  nearly  empty,  and  the 
mountain  guides  say  that  they  have  never  had 
so  little  to  do.  The  truth  is  that  this  is  mainly 
due  to  the  grasping  disposition  of  tip  people. 
Any  one  who  has  once  fallen  into  the  hands  of 
a  Luchon  landlord  will  not  be  apt  to  be  caught  a 
second  time,  for  the  charges  are  simply  out- 
rageous. People  of  modest  fortunes  can  no 
longer  pay  their  annual  visits  to  the  watering- 
place  OA  in  dars  gone  by,  for  a  week's  stay  eats 
up  the  money  laid  bv  for  a  month's  visit  to  the 
country.  One  can  have  very  httle  sympathy, 
therefore,  for  the  people  who  now  compmin  of 
a  dull  season.  Next  year  there  will  be  still  fewer 
people  at  Luchon,  and  the  rich  will  hire  the  vil- 
las that  lie  about  the  town  rather  than  have  the 
.  vexation  of  being  overcharged  in  the  hotels.' 


A  OOOD  STASD-Cl*  FIQST.  • 
The  Richmond  (Va.)  SlaU  thus  expresses  its 
views:  "It  is  qaite  refreshing  in  these  days  to  see 
a  fair  stand-np  flst-fiirht.  It  recalls  the  '  better  and 
purer  days  of  tlie  Eepablic,' when  our  young  men 
never  thooght  of  resortlns:  to  any  less  chivalric  and 
mazdy  mode  of  settling  their  dlOiculties  which  cotdd 
not  be  settled  without  a  fight.  It  is  so  much  better 
tiiau  to  use  pistols  or  knives,  and  other  weapons  of 
the  murdere:.  We  almost  regretted  to  see  the  tt^'o 
young  men  separated  yesterday  by  their  frienas ; 
they  stood  up  so  well,  and  fought  so  msnf  ally  and 
placidly,  it  wa.s  quite  delightful.  For  a  few  moments 
they  fairly  rained  blows  on  each  other's  heads  and 
facds,  bat  neither  seemed  to  be  very  badly  punished, 
nor  was  either  diaposed  to  give  in  when  they  were 
separated.  It  is,  of  course,  a  bad  practice,  this  fight- 
ing ;  bat  then  it  is  harmless  and  respectable  com- 
pEU^  to  shooting  and  cutiing,  which  are  rapidly  de- 
clining in  respectability,  and  going  out  of  fashion.  As 
nobody  was  hurt  peace  was  made,  and  aothlngfazther 
came  of  this  little  iisticoff."

The  Lockport  Journal  gives  the  following  a&- 
connt  of  an  attempt  to  rob  a  bank  in  that  city  dar*

daring  attempt  was  made  to  rob  the  Farmers*  and 
Mechanics'  Savings  Bank  of  this  city.  Secretary 
Babcock  was  alone  In  charze  of  the  bank  during  the 
day,  and  had  passed  around  in  front  of  the  counter 
for  a  few  moments,  daring  which  time  the  thief  stole 
in  at  a  back  window  and  skulking  behind  the  counter, 
was  not  observed  till  he  was  leaving  tho  front  desk 
with  a  package  of  money.  He  was  then  spied 
by  Secretary  Babcock,  and  a  lively  race 
commenced.  Both  rushed  for  the  back 
door,  wl^ich  the  acocmdrel  had  unbolted  and 
left  ajar  on  entering.  Mr.  Babcock  grasped 
the  feuow's  coat,  but  hii  hold  was  broken  at 
the  foot  of  the  itaizs.  The  thief  ran  up  the  alley  hi

APRIL  FOOL  JOKES. 


SIR. 


B.  P.  SRTLLABER  DESCRIBES  A  FEW  OP 
THESE  WlUCn  HAVE  DECEIVED  BOSTON 
PEOPLE. 

From  tJie  Boston  Post,  Axtg.  15. 

Of  practical  ji»ke3  tho  old  Post  was  prolific, 
and  the  1st  of  April  afforded  a  fitting  occasion  for 
putting  thein  upon  the  town.  People  were  more 
credulous  then,  as  it  seems  at  tliia  distance,  aud  bit 
very  readily  at  the  buILs,  those  shrewd  enough  to 
escape  being  very  willina  to  lielp  on  the  deception  for 
the  benefit  of  their  friends.  But  the  tricks 
were  of  a  character  to  justify  belief  in  them, 
possessing,  as  they  did.  an  intellectual 
finish,  aTid,  thouijh  disturbing  the  emi- 
nent gravity  of  tho  "sold"  for  a  time,  were  ad- 
mitted to  be  ver>-  clover  by  the  victims,  who  found 
themselves  with  a  host  of  sympathizers,  and  laughed 
away  the  ainioyance.  Foremost  among  thesD  was 
the  great  cave  soil,  which  completely  carried  the 
crowd.  It  camo  with  such  a  seductive  forpe  that  in- 
credulity was  narcotizoii,  and  almost  everybody  who 
read  it  was  added  to  the  holocaust  of  victims. 

The  story  run  that  a  gang  of  workmen  on  the 
Common,  while  i-enioving  a  tree,  had  discovered 
upon  the  spot  wViero  the  tree  stood  a  trap-door  of 
stoue,  with  a  ruUy  iron  rini.  and  upon  Ufting  this, 
which  was  a'i'-'XjmpUshed  with  difllculty.  a  stone 
Stairway  wus  revealed  leading  to  a  square  chamber 
orcave  about  six  feel  rttep  and  tbe  same  diameter, 
formetlof  hown  stone.  Herein,  it  is  said,  had  been 
found  jowcls  and  old  coin  In  abnndanee.  with 
w-jajMJus  that  h:t'l  loni;  ^auu  to  ra-St.  anil  with  the  rest, 
au  old  dajiyer  with  u  jt.»welcl  hundle.  which  had  been 
found  sticking  between  two  layers  of  the  stones. 
There  were,  al-io.  othor  features  wiikh  I  cannot  re- 
call, butAalf  would  have  bten  sufticieiit  to  put  Bos- 
ton on  the  uuxions  seat.  It  wan  rainy,  that  Ist  of 
April,  the  LegislaturM  was  in  session,  and  it  was  au 
animated  sceny  that  the  Common  ureiiented,  roofed 
with  umbrBilru'.  sheltering  pilgrims  on  their  way  to 
tho  new-found  sell.  A  procession  of  grave  legislators 
marched  solenitily  down  under  their  preeu  gingham, 
while  phiios»»pUur-j.  .irfha-olostslH,  numismatists,  an-

takftble  marks  of  its  paternity.  There  was 
a  Uitle  queslion  of  honor  involved  here,  and  inves- 
tigation was  f  ommeticed  by  both  cibtors  to  find  out 
tlie  cutpriti.  Tiiu  foreman  was  examined,  who  af- 
tlrmed  that  he  locl:fld  the  form  up  at  the  custoinarj' 
time,  the  loen  havine  gonu.  after  which  he  had,  he 
said,  blown  out  tho  liirhts  and  gone  home.  The  pre?.s- 
man  had  worked  his  form  off  and  done  the  same.  The 
men  were  interrogated,  but  none  knew  .\nythiug  about 
ir,  and  the  cxiimin.ation  showed  more  cases  of  in- 
lured  innocence  tuan  were  ever  bcforti  trathered  to- 
cether  under  one  roof.  Proof-sheets  and  tympan

very  Indignant  ostensibly,  but  down  under  his  vest

hushed — '»r  distributed. 

Years  afterward  l.ittlo  Phil,  told  the  story  regarding 
it.  The  eonHplrators  watched  for  the  disappearance 
of  the  lights  in  tlto  Pont  olHco  after  midnight,  when 
they  returiiod.  and  each  took  a  part  to  set  up  as  it

authorship  of  Janius  was  not  better  kept  bv  the  pub-

ITS  IKFLUENXE  IK  THE  lOW^A  CAMPAIGN— 
BPEECII  BV  HON.  JOnX  H.  GEAR,  THE  RE- 
PUBLICAN^ CAND1D.\TE  FOR  GOVERNOR. 
From  ih»  Dtttmqxie  (Iowa)  Times,  Aug.  13. 
Last  Thursday  evening  Hon.  John  H.  Gear, 
Republican  nominee  for  Unremor.  made  his  opealng 
speech  at  Spr:ngd.alo,  a  amall  Quaker  towu  -20  miles 
from  Iowa  City.  It  is  everywhere  known  that  the 
Quakers  are  very  strict  upon  tho  temperance  ques- 
tion, and  a  few  unchastened  aud  over-wise  and  an- 
gelic beings  havint:  .set  afloat  the  story  that  Mr.  Gear 
was  a  "  free  lover"  on  the  liquor  qnestion,  person- 
ally, politicalty.  and  legislatively,  tiiis  Society  of 
Frictids  inviteU  him  to  speak  to  them  on  this  and 
other  questions  of  interest  with  that  plaiimess  and 
unnj.scr\-e  which  is  characteristic  of  the  genuine 
Quaker.  They  a^ked  that  he  explain  the  accusations 
which  a  dozen  or  so  of  millennial  gentry  had  put 
afloat  against  him.  which  ho  did  with  a  directaioss. 
unreserve,  and  fullness  that  loft  nothing  to  be  de- 
sired by  reasonable  men. 

After  discxLssing  several  of  the  prominent  political 
questions  before  the  people,  Mr.  Gear  s,iid  to  his  au- 
dience— and  the  house  wtts  crowded  to  its  utmost — 
that  if  any  gentleman  desired  to  interrogate  him  as 
to  his  past  or  present  political  record  then  was  the 
opportunity.  In  response  to  que.stlnns  propounded 
to  him  by  several  of  those  who  thns  addressed  to  him. 
the  invitation  to  speak.  Mr.  Gear  replied  that  once; 
several  years  ago,  he  took  a  quantity  of  whisky  on  a 
debt  when  ongJigod  in  the  grocery  business  in  Bur- 
lington, just  as  any  prudent  gentleman  present  would 
have  done  imder  similar  circumstances,  and  sold  It 
again.  He  also  said  that  he  sometimes  drank 
liquor,  but  wheu  tho  opposition  or  any  one 
charged  that  ho  ever  used  liquor  to  the  ex- 
tent of  inebriation,  tliey  chanced  a  falsehood. 
The  prohibition  element  of  tho  Republican  Party, 
who  opposed  Mr.  Gear's  nommation  and  threatened 
the  nomination  ot  a  prohibitory  candidate,  relied 
upon  the  strength  and  infiuence  of  the  Qaaker  ele- 
ment in  the  Ijtate  in  this  behalf,  but  at  the  close  of 
Mr.  Gear's  .speech  these  leading  Quaker  Republicans, 
who  were  undetermined  as  to  their  duty,  called  upon 
him  and  aasured  him  that  his  speech,  as  well  as  his 
answer  to  their  Interrogations,  was  satisfactory  to 
them,  and  they  should  snpport  hun.  Mr.  Gear's  en- 
tire audience  was  favorably  impressed  with  hit  able 
and  intelligent  discussion  of  the  political  questions  of 
the  day,  and  of  State  matters,  as  well  as  with  the 
candid  and  frauk  manner  in  which  he  disposed  of  the 
anti-temperance  charges  roMda  against  him  by  the  op- 
posing press  of  the  State. 

PREACHERS'  3£1STAKE8. 
Zion^s  Herald  tells  the  story  that  at  a  "  pro- 
tracted meeting"  in  W.,  some  years  since,  a  yonu; 
local  preacher  of  ver)'  good  presence  and  of  more 
than  ordinary  abilities  expressed  some  surprise  that 
a  certain  minister  had  been  received  into  the  Confer- 
ence that  year  ;  for,  said  he,  "  I  heard  him  annotince 
his  text  from  our  Lord's  Gospel  by  St.  EzekieL"  That 
local  preacher,  bowover,  In  the  evening,  announced 
his  text  as  in  "Paul's  letter  to  Peter,  fourth  chap- 
ter and  eighth  verse !  "The  end  of  all  things  is  at 
an  end;  be  ye  sober  and  watch  unto  prayer.  Fre- 
quently repoatini^  in  his  dlscourae  "the  end  of  all 
things  ii  at  an  end,"  a  minister  present  ascended  the 
pulpit  and,  on  the  next  repetition,  pulled  his  coat 
and  said:  "Hand,  brother,  tmnd!"  The  preacher 
in  hU  warmth  and  earnestness  tamed  to  the  oongre*

THE  FASHIONS. 


LATEST  PABISLAK  DECREES. 
MODERATION  IN  TRIMMING — NEW    USES     FOB 
LACES  —  CHILDREN'S     DBK8SE3  —  BABT 
SUITS — A     BRIDAL      ATTIBE1-BRACELETS 
AGAIN  IN  FAVOR. 

As  early  mention  is  always  made  of  all  the 
eccentricities  of  fashion,  it  is  but  just  that  the 
same  should  be  done  if  by  accident  a  sensible 
mode  prevails.  The  use  of  very  Uttle  trimming 
for  morning  and  traveling  suits  is  certainly 
very  sensible.  Of  what  possible  use  can  a 
heavily-trimmed  skirt  or  an  elaborate  tunique 
be  in  a  railroad  car  or  for  ordinary  morning 
walking  purposes!  They  only  incommode  the 
wearer,  and  certainly  have  not  that  style  and 
appearance  of  good  taste  which  leas  pretentiotia 
articles  posse.^is.  It  can  with  perfect  safety  be 
predicted  that  the  handsome  woolen  Fall  suits 
mil  be  trimmed  but  sparingly.  The  style  of 
trimming  of  more  expensive  and  dressy  stiits 
remains  about  the  same.  The  breton  vest  is 
heavily  trimmed,  and  ia  a  great  addition  to 
drap  d'^t4  suite. 

The  carelessly-draped  polonaise  is  one  of  the 
greatest  novelties.  Everything  symmetrical  is 
now  considered  as  common.  The  scarfs  hang 
plainly  and  gracefully,  which  i8  quite  a  con- 
trast to  the  elaborate  manner  in  which  they 

were  draped  but  a  short  time  since.  White 
dresses,  which  are  made  in  many  different 
woolen  fabrics,  aro  trimmed  with  colored  vel- 
vets, such  as  plum,  blue,  brown,  and  bronze. 
The  bands,  vest,  and  sleeves  are  of  velvet.  A 
great  a  Idition  to  the  white  woolen  suit  is  a^vest 
embroidered  in  the  color  of  the  velvet,  and  cor- 
responding rovers  and  cuflfs. 

Many  ladies  now  use  their  handsome  white 
laces  for  flchua-mantelets,  ^vith  long  ends,  either 
crossing  over  in  the  back  or  falling  straight  in 
front.  These  flchus  add  greatly  to  tho  eleeanee 
of  a  toilet.  Mantles  trimmed  with  dentelle  de 
Paris,  combined  with  fringe  and  jet,  are  as 
much  worn  as  ever.  But  the  deep,  handsome 
laces  are  not  employed  for  this  purpose,  being 
only  used  for  scarfs  over  dresses.  Elegant  lace 
ilounees  had  best  be  reserved,  as  their  turn  for 
use  will  certainly  come.  Meanwhile,  the  most 
fashionable  lad  ies  have  nut  the  slightest 
scruple  in  employing  dentelle  de  Paris  for  their 
Siciliennes.  mantles,  and  confections  generallv. 

A  rich  embroidery  iu  all  colors  is  now  made 
upon  white  lace.  A  mantiUe-visite.  lately  made 
with  this  lace,  attracted  great  attention.  Each 
llower  of  the  design  is  worked  witli  tasteftillv- 
^haded  silk,  looking  like  a  handsome  chenille 
embroidery.  The"mantillo  zita"  is  used  with 
all  evening  sea-side  toilets.  It  is  of  black,  white, 
ami  tilleul  blonde. 

Heavy  materials  are  not  (?«  Wi/twur  for  even- 
ing toilets.  Light  faille  or  talfetas,  plain  and 
fa^onn^s  foulanls,  gauze,  barege,  grenadine,  and 
ore:andie  are  the  materials  chosen  for  this  pur- 
pose, Ijow-necked  dresses  aro  not  in  nearly  so 
much  favor  for  hops  at  watering-places  as  they 
are  for  city  entertainments,  the  half-low  style 
being  preferred.  This  includes  the  waist  open 
ia  front  and  the  waist  cut  low  underneath,  with 
the  hi^h-neck  waist  of  some  litcht,  thin  fabric. 
Tho  I'arisian  robo  **  Hayd^e."  made  iu  this 
style,  is  quite  showy.  First  comes  the  white 
taffetas  prin(;e.ss  dress,  cut  low  in  the  neck.  The 
sleeves  are  short ;  the  long  train  has  its  lower 
part  trimmed  with  a  full  "  chicori?e  "  niching  of 
the  same  good.^.  A  second  dross  of  barege 
covers  the  one  just  described.  It  is  cut  hiah 
in  the  neck  and  cut  out  in  the  middle 
in  front.  Around  the  train,  up  the  fronts, 
and  on  the  neck  is  a  fringe  made 
of  silk  and  silver  intermixed.  The  uiiddl©  of 
the  back  Is  nused  in  puffs  forming  a  cascade. 
They  are  .teparated  one  from  the  other  by  this 
silvered  fringe.  The  sides  are  joined  to  the 
front,  and  draped  and  fastened  over  the  taffetas 
apron,  and  the  points  fall  over  each  other :  they 
are  trimmed  with  silvertjd  fringe.  The  sleeves, 
*'&  la  Juive.'' are  long,  square,  and  open,  and 
also  trimmetl  with  fringe.  These  show  the  bare 
arm.  A  very  popular  way  of  making  the  waists 
Is  to  close  them  in  the  neck  by  means  of  a  nich- 
ing and  bow,  and  then  have  the  waist  open, 
forming  quite  a  large  square.  The  square  is 
trimmed  around  with  narrow  white  lace.  The 
middle  of  th«  waist  extends  up,  fonningapoint, 
and  thus  dividing  the  square  into  two  parts. 
This  point  is  trimmed  ^th  bows ;  it  eitend.s  all 
the  way  down  the  front  of  the  waist.  The  style 
is  equally  well  adapted  to  the  princess  dress 
and  to  the  polonaise. 

"  <;uimpes"  are  worn  over  all  waists.  These 
articles  and  chemisettes  have  been  brought  into 
use  by  tlio  waists  being  cut  open  in  breton 
style.  The  chemisettes  are  of  colored  silk,  and 
the  guimpes,  which  close  in  the'  back,  are  made 
in  all  ways.  Some  of  them  are  wholly  of  lace. 
The  breton  costiune  is  rapidly  meeting  with  the 
fate  of  all  such  popular  fashions  and  becoming 
common.  It  is  likely  to  be  succeeded  by  the  cos- 
tume •"serbe,"  with  a  tight-fitting  waist,  and  an 
apron  in  front,  and  cut  up  on  the  sides  about 
four  inches  high.  The  back,  of  the  skirt  is  very 
finely  shirred. 

At  some  fa.shionahIe  Parisian  entertainments 
dresses  have  been  seen  with  plain  skirts,  pointed 
waists,  and  flat  sleeves.  This  style  of  dress, 
made  of  light  faille,  with  a  scarf  of  the  same 
material,  is  vety  elegant. 

Children  are  now  dressed  with  much  sim- 
plicity. Tho  garments  are  made  more  with  a 
view  to  comfort  than  thev  have  been  for  some 
time  past.  Almost  all  tne  little  ones'  dresses 
are  cut  straight  and  half  tlght^fitting.  They 
are  not  elaborately  trimmed.  These  loose 
dresses  leave  perfect  freedom  to  the  limbs,  as  it 
should  be  when  children  are  concerned.  A  suit 
for  a  little  girl  consists  of  a  skirt  trimmed  with 
one  flounce  only,  and  a  large  half  tight-fitting 
paletop.  This  garment  is  cut  rather  shorter  in 
the  back  than  in  front,  and  is  trimmed 
simply  with  a  band  of  galloon.  Down 
the  front  is  a  row  of  outtons  match- 
ing the  galloon  In  color.  The  band 
is  placed  on  either  in  a -bias  or  straight.  For 
out-door  wear  the  small  cape,  consisting  of  three 
or  four  collars,  completes  the  suit.  Gathered 
bloiLses  are  also  worn  by  misses.  They  are 
gathered  ai^inst  a  smmre  piece  on  the  *upi>er 
part  of  the  blouse.  The  blouse  is  taken  in  to 
the  waist  by  a  leather  belt-  The  "veste  ma- 
rine"' (a  kind  of  Garibaldian  waist)  is  also  much 
worn.  It  is  gathered  in  the  waist  and  sewed  to 
a  belt  which  closes  in  front.  It  has  a  large 
turned-down  collar.  The  sleeves  are  either 
gathered  on  the  wrist  or  plaited  on  the  lower 
part,  in  which  case'there  is  no  wristband.  The 
skirt  worn  with  this  waist  is  of  the  same 
goods  and  cut  in  straight  breadths,  which  are 
gathered  in  to  the  belt  of  the  waist. 

A  dress  for  a  miss  14  years  of  age  can  be 
made  in  a  brown  taffetas  skirt  with  a  tilleul 
foulard  polonaise.  The  skirt  is  trimmed  with  a 
plaited  flounce.  The  polonaise  has  a  princess 
back,  raised  in  a  pixff  fastened  under  a  ribbon 
bow.  The  front  opens  in  bias  shape,  forming 
on  one  side  a  basque,  while  the  other  side  hangs 
plain.  The  polonaise  is  trimmed  with  a  brown 
bias  band  and  English  embroidery  in  the  same 
color.  This  trimming  also  extends  up  tfae  mid- 
dle of  the  apron,  and  trims  the  basque.  Up  the 
fronts  are  brown  buttons.  The  open  square  in 
the  neck  is  trimmed  with  a  bias .  tafitetas 
band  and  embroidery.  The  taffetas  sleeves 
have  foulard  cuffs  trimmed  like  the  remainder 
of  the  suit  Over  the  cuffs  are  two  broad 
bands  of  taffetas,  placed  a  short  distance  apart. 
and  tied  on  the  outside  in  a  bow.  The  costume 
marin  is  worn  principally  by  boys.  The  hand- 
somest are  of  white  hneu  and  "  coutil  anglais." 
The  coat,  which  hangs  over  the  trousers,  has  a 
deep,  navy-blue  sailor-collar.  The  cuffs,  which 
match  the  collar,  comes  below  the  sleeves  of 
the  coat,  which  are  plaited  on  the  ends  in  three 
or  five  small  flat  pliMts  reaching  up  the  sleeve 
and  about  two  inches  hi^h.  The  saitor.hat  gen- 
erally worn  with  the,  suit  is  of  straw,  trimmed 
with  dark  blue  ribbon  falling  in  long  ends. 
Boys  in  Paris  wear  white  suits  almost  exclusive- 
ly. Between  the  ages  of  12  and  14,  the  full 
suit,  consisting  of  coat,  vest,  and  trousers,  is 
worn.  A  row  of  buttons  closes  the  coat  down 
the  front  A  red  oravat  with  long  ends  is  gen- 
erally warn  to  relieve  tho  monotony  of  this  pure 
white  suit 

A  suit  for  a  baby  from  3  to  5  years  of  age 
can  be  of  ^ru  linen  trimmed  with  blue  linen 
worked  with  white.  Tho  front  forms  a  narrow 
plastron  with  groups  of  mother-of-pearl  buttons 
on  either  side.  The  middle  of  the  back  is 
plaited  in  fan  shape,  with  each  plait  fastened 
down.  On  the  lower  part  of  the  dress  are  two 
flounces,  one  of  embroidered  blue  linen  and  the 
other  of  plaited  ^ru  linen.  The  plaited  flounce 
which  surmounts  the  embroidered  one  has  a 
blue  ribbon  bow  on  the  back.  The  linen  sailor- 
collar  ia  scalloped  and  trimmed  with  blue  linen 
embroidery.  The  sleeves  are  finished  at  the 
wrist  with  a  scalloped  cuff. 

A  licaidsome  bridal  dress  may  be  of  white 
taffetas.  The  skirt  has  a  train  falling  very  full 
at  the  end,  and  drawn  in  in  the  back  by  means 
of  a  siiirring.  The  border  is  scalloped  and 
bound  with    satin.      Under  the  scallops  is  a 

fauze  plaiting.  The  polonaise  is  princess  shape, 
rom  the  bast  down  the  middle  of  the  back  is  a 
large  rovers  which  turns  over  on  the  left  side. 
The  right  aide  is  draped  under  this  revera. 
The  borders  of  the  polonaise  are  scalloped  and 
have  a  gauxe  plaiting  underneath.  The  waist 
closes  down  the  front  by  means  of  very  small 
buttons.  In  front  ia^  a  long  spray  of  orange 
bloaaoms,  startuv  ftom  «  oouquei  vhiefa  is

There  is  a  new  Parisian  fashion  for  riding  hab- 
its, which  is  probably  suggested  by  the  great 
heat.  The  habit  is  of  iron- gray  to'ile  de  sole. 
This  material  falls  in  to  the  figure,  according 
perfectly  with  the  present  fashions.  Italsopo.s- 
sesses  the  advantage  of  being  very  cool.  This 
material  is  much  more  becoming  titian  cloth, 
which  is  in  reality  only  suitable  for  gentlemen. 

In  addition  to  the  porte-bonheur,  bracelets  are 
to  be  worn.  This  Is  a  welcome  fasldon,  as 
bracelets  are  much  prettier. 


THE  NOUTS  OF  XOEWAT, 


AN  ADVENTUEESOJfE  MINNEAPOLIS  TOUNG 
WOifAti  DESCRIBES  HER  J0CRNETING3 — 
SURPRISING  WEALTH  OP  THE  FARRIERS. 

From  the  Minneapoiis  (Minn, )  Tribune,  Aug.  14. 

Tho  following  is  by  a  well-known  young  lady 
of  Minneapolis,  who  is  exploring,  for  her  amtisement 
and  pleasure,  the  north  of  Norway.  It  is  a  very  in- 
teresting sketch: 

"You  will  wonder  where  this  town  Kehlousenoea 
exists,  as  I,  too,  should  have  done  a  week  ago.  'Tls 
far  up  in  Norway,  not  a  town  at  all,  in  fact,  only  a 
station  where  wo  are  resting  a  few  hours.  A  Mrs. 
Gillis  (a  young  woman  from  New-York)  and  her 
sister.  Miss  Parker,  and  I  left  Hambuiig  for  a  jour- 
ney through  Denmark,  Sweden,  and  Norway.  Our 
first  point,  Coiwnhagen.  was  an  easy  and  pleasant 
journey.  The  city,  with  its  Thorwaldsen  Gallery,  its 
gallery  of  northern  antiquities,  and  its  many  inter- 
esting excoTsions  and  its  new  people  (at  least  to  us 
travelers)  was  charmlnst.  Not  BpeaWng  Danish  did 
not  trouble  us  iu  the  least,  as  we  foond  almofit  everj-- 
body  speaking  English.  (As  we  are  continually  on 
the  wing  I  had  to  stop  without  flnishing  tliis.]  Now 
we  are  at  Trondhjem  far  up  in  the  north,  and  to- 
morrow  shall  be  on  our  way  to  the  jumphig-off  place, 
namely,  the  North  Cape. 

"We  have  jnst  completed  a  week's  *  name  v  through 
the  mountains  in  carioles,  and  most  delightful  it  has 
been.  This  cariole  13  a  vehicle  which  yoii  see  only  in 
Norway,  in  which  one  person  sits  and  drives  himself 
or  herself  over  the  country.  The  mountain  scenery 
is  of  the  same  character  as  that  of  Switzerland,  and 
now  many  travelers,  to  whom  the  Alps  are  familiar, 
are  finding  their  way  here.  The  country  people  are 
obliged  to  furnish  horses  in  order  to  satisfy  tho  curi- 
osity of  pleasure-seekers,  much  aaalnst  their  will. 
The  stations  aro  generally  one  or  one  and  a  quar- 
ter Norwegian  miles  (seven  or  eight  EngUsh  miles) 
apart.  A  uttle  boy  sits  behind,  aud  away  we  go 
over  the  roads,  which  are  absolutely  perfect.'  In  iliis 
way  we  mate  from  30  to  50  and  more  miles  a  day. 

"  It  has  been  BO  far  all  enjoyable,  only  fatiguing 
as,  there  being  no  night  one  is  tempted  to  continao 
the  journey  too  long.  We  have  already  driven  one 
whole  day  and  until  3  o'clock  in  the  mominjr,  and 
four  or  five  times  until  12  o'clock.  It  is  a  new  ex- 
perience, and  therefore  interesting,  but  I  should 
never  want  an  eternal  day.  Give  me  the  laud  where 
there  are  a  few  hoar.';  ai  least  of  the  blessed  rest  of 
darkness  of  night.  I  think  1  shall  hereafter  appre- 
(•iate  this  blessing.  This  midnight  sun  is  simply 
maddening — one's  nerve*  never  seem  to  rest. 

"  From  Copenhagen  two  or  three  gentlemen  joined 
onr  p=,rty,  and  tlioogb  we  would  not  have  feared 
dealing  with  this  simple-minded,  honest  people,  yet 
we  found  it  hii;hly  n;;reeable.  Evcrvthin?  iu  the  way 
of  living  aJong  the  road  -s  astonishingly  good,  and 
disphayiug  a  civilization  Ihad  no  expectation  of  lindin^ 
Silver  forks  and  napkins  we  have  always  had.  These 
fanners  seem  all  to  be  rich  in  silver.  The  pronriet'jr 
of  one  plain  Uttle  farm  where  we  staid  all  nigiit  told 
King  Oscar  of  SwodeiL  when  he  made  his  nropress 
through  Norway,  that  he  need  not  use  his  silver,  as 
he  [tho  farmer]  could  fumi-sh  enough  for  his  suite 
— some  30  or  40  people.  We  get  peuerally  good 
brown  bread,  good  coffee,  and  Ueacioua '  cream 
everywhere,  and  all  very  cheap :  also  fine  salmon  and 
trout.  I  have  not  had  my  appetite  better  satisfied 
than  here.  Wheu  we  start  off  we  are  learning  to  sav 
'farewell'  and  shake  hands.  It  seems  they  think 
English-speakiug  peonlo  very  rude  because  thi-v 
omit  these  cirilltiea.  We  have  great  laughing  over 
our  Norwegian,  but  we  know  enough  to  a^fc  for  all 
that  is  necessary.  I  cry  out  continually  for  "/forfe," 
(cream, }  and  every  day  drink  a  glass  or  two.  •  ^inoe 
tak,'  (many  thanks.)  is  continually  cfll  ourlip*;.  We 
are  learning  to  be  very  polite.  Think  of  eoiuiug  to 
Norway  to  learn  politeness. 

"  We  spent  two  days  in  Christiania.  where  we  got 
our  vehicles  for  the  journey  and  made  all  the  iie- 
c<?8sary  preparations  through  the  assistance  of 
a  itr.  Bennett,  to  whom  almost  overvbody  goes  to 
get  started.  This  is  his  business.  1  don't  know 
what  those  who  wish  to  travel  in  Norway  would  do 
without  him.  We  have  a  conversation  book  (of  his 
getting  up)  which  we  keep  oonthiually  by  us.  and  a 
book  with  onr  route  marked  out  and  the  prices.  Onr 
ladies  aud  gentlemen  are  very  jolly,  and  we  think 
these  earnest  people  are  somewhat  astonished  at  the 
hilarity  of  the  party.  I  think  they  ought  to  blesy 
the  day  that  brought  travelfrs  to"  their  countrj-. 
breaking  iuaponVhi  monotony  of  their  lives.  Nine 
months'  snow  and  night  and  then  three  of  davlight. 

"Last  night  we  went  to  the  gard'.»n  of  Trondhjem 
to  hear, the  orchestra  and  see  the  notorieties  of  the 
placo.  The  baud  plays  between  10  aud  11,  and  a 
few  of  this  sober-minded  people  resort  thither  and 
drink  beer  and  coffee,  and  smu'se  themselves  in  a 
very  moderate  way.  It  seemed  strange  to  see  chil- 
dren -l  and  5  years  old  and  up  skipping  about 
the  garden  until  midnight,  but  I  sanposc  they  make 
up  for  the  dissipation  of  the  hammer  when  the  dark- 
ness sets  in,  July  12,  This  evening  wo  take  ship 
for  the  Cape,  expecting  to  stop  at  Twindso  and 
visit  the  Lapps  [Laplanders]  and  spend  a  few 
hours  in  Ilammeifert.  the  most  northern  town  in  the 
world.  The  trip  will  take  two  weeks,  and  I  hope  will 
be  interesting,  as  we  are  going  to  make  ourselves 
rather  uncomfortable  on  the  vessel.  'Tis  small,  and 
we  will  be  very  much  crowded.  Hitherto  it  has  been 
pretty  cold,  but  the  people  say  this  Is  an  nnnsaal 
season,  so  cold  that  th^ir  har\-eSts  are  quite  spoiled. 
But  Miss  P.  aud  Mr.  W.  and  ail  the  rest  are  flirting 
and  chatting  and  laughing  at  such  a  rate  that  I  don't 
know  what  I  am  saving.  They  are  hemming  veils, 
as  gentlemen,  as  well  as  ladiM  must  wear  thenL  so 
dreadful  are  the  mosquitoes  between  here  and  the 
Capo." 

TBE  DREADED  TARAXTULA. 
The  following  story  is  from  the  Sacramento 
(CaL)  Union  of  the  10th  insL:  "  A  party  of  Sacra- 
mentans  returned  home  last  evening  from,  a  trip  to 
the  mountains,  bringing  with  them  two  deer-skins, 
one  wild-cat  skin,  and  a  few  other  trophies, 
including  two  tarantulas — dead  ones.  They  had 
a  llttlo  incident  attending  the  transporta- 
tion of  these  specimens  wliich  occasioned 
considerable  alarm.  It  occured  in  Cache  Creek 
Canou  on  Wednesday,  as  they  were  returning  home. 
The  taraultilas,  for  lack  of  a  better  receptacTe.  were 
inclosed  In  a  cigar-box  when  caught,  abont  10  davs 
ago.- and  thia  box,  carefully  tied  up,  was  deposited  be- 
neath the  Beat  of  tlie  vehicle.  While  they  were  jolt- 
ing through  the  canon  the  seat  slippetU  and  the 
two  men  occupying  it  found  themselves  dropped  sud- 
denly into  the  bottom  of  the  wagon.  One  of  them 
struck  the  cigar-box,  crushed  it,  and  immediately 
felt  that  something  had  hurt  him.  A  glance  showei 
him  that  he  was  resting  on  the  tarantiUas.  and.  with 
a  yell  of  "Tm  stung  I  I'm  stong!'  he  jumped  from 
the  wagon,  and  dashing  hia  hands  behind  him,  as 
though  desirous  of  lifting  himself  out  of  his  boots,  he 
bounced  wildly  along  the  road,  then  turned  and  made 
for  the  wagon,  shouting  to  hia  amased  and  alarme  1 
companions:  'Whislcy!  Quick!  I'm  dying!  Why 
don't  you  tinrry  V  The  other  three  men— there  were 
four  in  the  party — ^reached  simultaneously  for  the 
demijohn,  broke  off  the  cork  in  their  hasi  e 
to  pull  it  out,  and  In  an  effort  to  knock  off  the 
neck  of  tho  demijohn,  to  save  time,  broke  the 
entire  concern,  and  nearly  all  the  contents  were  lost. 
About  a  pint  of  the  liquid  was  saved,  however,  and 
without  saying  aa  much  as  *  Here's  luclc,'  the 
party  that  was  bitten  swallowed  it.  Soon  he  began 
to  feel  better,  and^veutually  felt  so  remarkably  well 
that  it  was  evident  the  poison  had  been  forced  to  suc- 
cnmb.  Then  the  work  of  straightening  up  the  con- 
tents of  the  wa^n  was  commenced,  and  the  tarantu- 
la box  was  c;irefttlly  lifted  out  and  examined,  when 
behold  !  tho  '  bugs  *  were  found  perfectly  lifeless. 
and  90  div-  and  atls  that  it  was  evident-  that  thev  had 
been  dead  more  than  24  houra,  wbile  a  couple  of 
tacks  in  the  broken  cover  of  the  box  conveyed  a  very 
good  hint  as  to  the  natture  of  the  Injury  which  the 
bold  hunter  had  suffered." 


PHOTOORAPBiyQ  A  TROTTiyG  MORSE. 

The  San  •  Francisco  Alta  of  the  11th  inst. 
says :  "  In  our  mention  of  the  photographs  taken  by 
Muybridgo  of  Occident  at  full  speed  we  stated  that 
it  was  the  intention  of  Mr.  Stanford  to  have  a  series 
o'  views  taken  to  show  the  step  at  ail  its  staces,  so 
as  to  settle  the  contrm-ersy  among  horsemen  about 
the  (question  whether  a  fast  trotter  ever  has  all  his 
feet  in  the  air  at  once.  Mr.  Muybridgo  hag  now  re- 
ceived hia  instructions,  and  will  commence  his  work 
so  stH>n  as  he  can  receive  the  needful  lenses  from 
London  and  can  have  some  machinery  miade  here. 
Occident  moves  20  feet  at  a  stride,  and  Mr.  Mny- 
bridce  will  have  a  doeen  photograph.' :  cameras 
placed  at  intervals  of  two  feet,  imiJdng  a  total  dis- 
tance of  24  feet,  a  Httle  more  than  a  full  stride. 
The  abutters  of  these  cameras  will  be  opened  and 
ahat  by  electricity  as  the  horse  passes  In  front  of 
each,  the  time  of  exposure  being  as  l>efore  not  more 
than  the  thousandth  part  of  a  second.  Tho  13  pic- 
tures wIU  be  taken  within  two-thirds  of  a  second, 
the  time  reqtdred  for  traveiing  24  feet  at  a  speed  of 
2:37.  Each  picture  will  be  taken  by  a  double  lens, 
BO  as  to  be  adapted  for  the  stereoscope,  and  will  thus 
fumish  the  most  conclasive  proof^  to  connoiaseurs 
that  it  Is  faithfully  takan  by  photography,  and  not 
materially  changCMl  by  ratouchmg." 

FLOGGED  A  WOMAX. 
A  telegram  from  Waterloo,  Iowa,  to  the  Du- 
boqae  Times,  dated  14th  inst.,  says  :  "  A  city  sensa- 
tion occurred  here  to-day,  and  has  been  the  subject  of 
unusual  gossip  on  account  of  the  beauty  and  appar- 
ent respectability  of  the  young  lady  who  was  the 
victim.  It  appears  that  a  gentleman  of  the  name  of 
Hokomb,  residing  at  Oedar  Rapids,  has  been  in  quiet 
search  of  a  voaug  woman  for  three  weeks  pasts  who 
he  avers  has  noon  traveling  about  claiming  to  be  bis

Anew  Roman  Catholic  soeietv.  called  tho

"  to  erpound  and  demonstrate  the  dangers  of

fession, as  follows :  "  Come  boldly,  then,  to  this 
healthy  esercise  of  oanfession.  though  it  pain 
von  like  laying  bare  a  cancer  for  the  stirseon's

Several  members  or  .nssociates  of  the  Eng- 
lish Church  Union  have  lately  witlidrawn  thwf 
connection  with  it  in  consequence  of  the  coun- 
cil of  the  society  supporting  those  who  have  de- 
termined to  resist  the  ruling  ot  the  Privy  Coun- 
cil iu  the  Ridsdate  judgment.  Among  others 
are  Lord  Henry  Scott.  M.  P..  and  Ladv Scott, 
Rev.  Prebendary  Clarke.  Vicar  of  Taunton, 
and  Rev.  J.  J.  Biddeley,  Vicar  of  St.  Saviour's,

Rev.  John  Scott.  D.  D. ,  one  of  the  ablest 
ministers  of  the  United  Presbyterian  Cnurch. 
died  at  .Monmouth.  Dl..  a  short  time  ago.  He  was 
a  native  of  Scotland,  and  was  70  years,  of  age- 
He  entered  upon  tho  work  of  the  pastorate  in 
1S43.  He  continued  in  the  pastoral  and  homo 
missionary  work  several  years,  and  was  chosen 
Professor  of  Ecclesiastical  History  in  the  Theo- 
logical Seminary  at  Monmouth,  111.,  which  po- 
sition ho  tilled  inany  years. 

The  Bishop  of  Cashel  says  dTsestablish- 
ment  has  been  beneficial  to  the  Church  of  In- 
land. ^Vbile  he  thinks  disestablishment  an  evil 
in  itself,  yet  such  good  ha«  come  out  of  it  by  the 
very  fact  of  their  assembling  together  vear  by 
year  to  take  coun-sel  on  the  affairs  of  tho 
Church,  that  it  will  be  found  to  more  thaa 
counterbalance  the  evil.  Good  is  being  brought 
out  of  di.sendownient.  too.  by  the  impulse 
which  has  been  given  to  the  freewill  offering* 
of  the  people  for  the  Chur^-h's  support 

The  case  of  the  First  Presbyterian  ChtireTi 
of  Ijouisville,  Ky,.  which  has  agitated  the 
Southern  Presbyterian  Church  since  1»174,  has 
l«en  decided  by  Chancellor  DuvaL  The  his- 
tory of  the  case  is.  in  brief,  as  follows  :  Previ- 
ously to  1*5  74  differences  existed  betweea' 
a  majorit\-  of  the  raUng  Elders  and  tho 
Pastor,  Bev.  Dr.  S.  R.  'Wikon,  which 
Ie<l  to  the  withdrawal  of  the  EUJ'.-r*. 
and  a  minority  of  the  members  froi.i»iho 
church.  They  were  refused  letters  of  dismis- 
sion, and  appealed  to  the  Presbyteryi'/f  Loois- 
viiie  to  be  reinstated,  in  order  that"  thev  might 
bo  tried  oo  certain  charges  that  bad  been  mads 
against  them.  The  Presbytery  granted  the  ap- 
peal, but,  in  consequence  of  certain  criticisms 
upon  its  action  made  by  Dr.  Wilson,  it  refused 
to  allow  him  to  appear  and  answer  until  bs 
made  an  apology.  This  he  refused  to  do.  The 
case  was  carried  up  to  the  General  Assemblv, 
which  mve  judgment  in  favor  of  tie  R-esby- 
tery.  Then  the  seceding  members  began  a  stu* 
for  the  division  of  the  church  propertv,  and 
Chancellor  Duval  has  decided  agaitist'them. 
The  church  is  now  connected  with  the  Xonhem. 
Aasembly.

Thomas  H.  Harding,  a  ooaeh  bnildec,  of  One 

dimdred  uid  Ntntb-fltreet,  near  the  BoolsTard,  eom- 
micted  laieide  under  peonllar  drcuoutanoos  yester- 
day morning;  after  havins  attenqfted  to  murder  hU 
hoTuelceeper.  Harding's  Mim  for'the  past  three  yean 
was  a  rery  eTentfol  onsb  0&  the  22d  day  of  Septem- 
ber, 187^,  being  then,  one  y«ara  widower,  wiUione 
child,  a  little  girl,  he  maEtiad  Miss  Jane 
JOizabeth  Beekmaa,  of  Oastleton.  Staten  Islaud. 
Miss  Beehmaa  was  a  singalarly  attractiTe 
woman.  She  wa>  a  great  farottte  with  all  htst 
aoquaintances.  and' was  known  by  the  sehool'mate 
name  of  "  lilbbie."  Thomas  H.  Harding  was  a  well* 
to-do  carriage  and  ..iragon  builder,  whose  m&nn- 
factory  was  at  Ko.  223  Meroer-street.  He  owned 
several  Tsloable  pieces  of  real  estate  in  the  Olty  and 
a  good  house  on  One  Htmdnd  and  l^nth-itrettt, 
near  the  Bonlerard.  Thetr  marxiad  life  appeared  to 
be  liappy.  nntU  about  the  middle  of  July,  1875.  At 
this  time  Harding  got  an  Anonynwna  note  stating 
that  the  writer  and  other  persons  bad  seen  S&s. 
Harding  In  company  with  one  WiUlamZandt  acting 
in  a  snspidons  manner,  in.  fflrexslde  Paric,  on  the 
morning  of  Joly  14,  1875.  ^  The  writer  itated  that 
'^~  Aud  his  friends  followed  j  Si&s,  Harding  and  her 
companion  and  saw  them  go  into  a  seelnded  gnlly 
ne.*ir  the  foot  of  One  Hundred  and  Third-street  and 
the  Hndson  Rrrer,  and  tliat  tbe  couple  remained 
there  from  9  o'clock  in  the. morning  nntU  5  in  the 
afternoon.  Harding  waa  mubh  annoyed  hy 
this  information,  and  he  went  to  work  to  ferret  out 
the  truth  or  falsity  of  tbe  •  story.  Tbe  revolt  of 
his  Inrestlgstions  was  that  he  became  aoqnainted 
with  aeveral  persons  who  were  ready  to  testify  to  the 
cnminal  relations  of  his  wife  with  Zandt.  This 
William  Zandt  was  at  this  time  foreman  on  the  "big 
pipes  "  that  were  being  laid  on*Tenth-aT8nue,  and  his 
district  was  between  One  Hundred  and  i^ftb  and 
One  Hxmdred  and  Fourteenth* streets,  near  to  the 
residence  of  the  Hardings. 

When  Harding  became  convinced  that  Zandt  had 
wronged  him,  he  son^^t  the -latter  for  the^urpose 
of  punishing  him.  Zandt  was  <  found  at  Work  on 
Tentb-avenne*.  at  the  junction  of '  One  Hundred  and 
Tenth-street.  This  •  was  on  the  morning  of  the 
S^th  of  July.  1875.  between  9  and  J.0  o'clock.  Hard- 
ing stood  upon  the  bankof  flresh  earth  thrown  np  by 
the  workxnen,  and  sayipg  to  Zandt,  "Toa  have  dis- 
graced me  and  my  tajnSty^-Rx^  twiceat  him.  He  was 
irrested  before  be  could  slsoot  again.  Zandt  was  not 
Qjoch  hnvt,  bnt  was  shot  through  the  mnsde  of  his 
left  fore  arm.  TT^rdfng  was  -taken  to  the  Thirty-first 
Precinct  Statlon-honse  by^Offieer  Troll,  and  the  case 
came  np  before  Justtee  WandeU,  In  the  Harlem  Police 
Coort,  next  day.  Zandt  .there  appeared  against  him 
for  felonious  assault.  Harding  was  put  under 
bail,  which  was  furnished  byrBobert  W.  Thomp- 
son, of  TCest  Kiuerty-sevanth-ctreet,  to  appear  at 
court.  Zandt  also  bagon  •  a  salt  against  Hard* 
ing  at  tbe  same  time  In  Marine  Court  for  damages, 
laying  his  cbdms  at  between  920,000  and  930,000. 
Bnt  be  never  pnt  in  an  appearance  at  the  trial  of 
either  case,  and  both  were  after  .a  while  dismissed. 
On  the  6th  inst.,  Hardtog,  who  had  separated  from 
bis  wife,  hrought  in  the  Superior  Court,  Special 
Term,  an  action  against  her  for  aa^absoluta  divorce 
on  the  gronnd  of  adultery.  In  his  ^complaint  he  set 
forth  that  ills  wife  and  Zandt  had  been  unduly  inti- 
mate during  the  whole  year  of  1875.  but  itated  as  the 
particular  fact  their  conduct  on  the  preceding 
lith  of  Joly.  Judge  Van  Vorst,  on 'Sept.  22, 
referred  all  the  issues  in  the  action  to  Samuel 
B.  Hard,  attorney.  No.  318  Broadway,  to  be  by  him 
heard  and  determined,  and  not  reported  merely,  as  is 
usually  tbe  order.  On  May  16,  1876,  Mr.  Hfiarbav- 
ing  heard  the  case,  decided  it  in  favor  of  ^e  plaintiiT. 
An  appeal  was  taken  from  the  Befereels  dedslou  to 
Judge  Cnrtis,  at  Special  Term,  in  July,  1876,  and  a 
motion  made  by  tlie  defendant  to  have  the  Referee's 
decision  set  aside.  Judge  Curtis,  on  Oct.  16.  1876, 
granted  the  motion,  and  remanded  the  case  back  to 
the  Referee  for  the  taking  of  further  testimony,  and 
subsequently,  on  Jan.  27,  1877,  the  same-  Judge 
matle  another  order  reversing  the  findings  of  the 
Referee,  vacating  and  setting  aside  the  report,  and 
dismi^siuK  tbe  plaintifTs  case  on  the  merits,  with 
COSTS,  »n<l  Judgment  was  entered  accordingly. 

The  main,  and  almost  the  only,  defense  made  by 
Mrs.  Hardinc  to  the  charge  of  adultery  In  the  actioiz. 
against  her  for  divorce,  was  that  her  hm>band  had 
condoned  her  crime  by  living  with  her  alter,  she 
tiays,  he  knew  it,  and  between  the  time  he  discovered 
it.  on  the  14th  of  July,  1875.  and  the  time  he 
broujeht  the  action  on  the  following  Gth  of  August. 
HttTcUngB  rebuttal  of  this  plea  consisted  in  the  state- 
TQont  that  he  was  not  certain  of  the/  crime  in  this 
inter\-al.  but  was  investigating  iu  truth  or  f  alsitj^, 
asd  that  as  soon  as  he  waa  convinced  bv  his  Investi- 
eatioDS  that  Mrs.  Harding  was  guilty,  he  separated 
nom  her  and  beean  the  action. 

Harding's  counsel,  ex-Recorder  James  M,  Smith, 
look  an  appeal  from  t^ie  last  order  and  judgment  of 
Jndce  Curtis  on  March  5,  1S77,  and  the  ease  is  still 
pending.  At  the  beginning  of  the  action  for  divorce, 
Mrs.  HanUn^'s  lawyer  made  a  motion  for  alimony 
for  her  dunng  the  trial  of  the  case,  and  $7o 
a  month  •  were  allowed  htr  by  the  court.  The 
allowance  was  afterward  cut  down  to  $30  per 
montti.  Harding  always  paid  the  alimony  promptly 
until  rpcenlly,  and  he  always  felt  compelled  to  do 
so,  for  he  became  thonoughly  imbued  with  the  idea 


whom  in  his  insanity  he  beUeved  he  shot  at.  in  tho 
person  of  Mis.  Woods. 

The  hoose  in  which  the  tngedy  oesorred  is  a  very 
seat  twfr«tacy  frame  cottage,  whieh  waa  owned  by 
deceased  and  oeenpied  by  him  for  th«  past  11  years. 
His.  Woods.  Mr.  Hardings  housekeeper,  althoo^^ 
associated  with  the  soicme  in  Tazioqs  scandalous 
stories  set  afloat  by  his  enemies,  beszs  the  reputation 
among  her  neighbors  of  a  woman  who  succeeds  un> 
usually  weU  in  minding  her  own  business.  She  Is 
apparently  about  to  become  a  mother  soon,  and  gos- 
sip has  liiiked  the  event  with  the  name  of  Harding, 
but  so  far  ss  can  be  learned  without  any  reason. 
Hardins^s  reputation  for  inte<prity  and  industry  bore 
"aocesKuJly  the  minute  investigation  made  by  Tbk 
Tocxs  reporter,  and  all  his  acquaintances  whom  the 
reporter  met  spoke  highly  of  Hitti-  One  of  them 
sud  :  "  The  oniy  mistake  the  man  ever  made  was 
in  taking  public  action  for  divorce.  It  mined  his 
exo*llent  onstness,  it  dwindled  away  his  ample  for- 
tune, it  destroyed  his  well-poasessed  mind,  swept 
aw^iy  his  happy  home,  and  utterly  wrecked  his  mag- 
nificent physique.'* 

I>eceased  was  44  years  old  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
and  leaves,  besides  his  wife,  Jane  Elizbeth.  three 
children — Carrie,  by  his  first  wife,  sged  8.  r.nd 
Oeone  Henry,  soe^  3,  and  Thomas  H.,  aged  18 
months,  both  by  his  second  wife.  Thomas  wss  bom

ner In  Mrs.  Harding's  allied  adnltenr.  Is  a  most  re- 
pulsive looking  man.  of  a  "  sqn&ttv''^  build  and  ex- 
ceedingly coaise  and  ugly  face.  Mrs-  Harding,  on 
the  other  hand,  is  an  uncommonly  good-looking  and 
attractive  woman,  a  blonde,  with  a  fine  figure  and 
engsging  faee. 

Coroner  EUinger  was  summoned  to  hold  an  in- 
qaast  over  the  remains  of  Harding.  Accompanied  by 
i>r.  Ooldschmidt,  his  deputy,  he  repaired  to  the 
house,  and  gave  a  permit  for  the  removal  of 
the  remains  for  interment.  ITxe  Coroner 
also  took  the  statement  of  Mrs.  Agnes  Woods, 
the  wounded  housekeeper,  which  was  as  follows : 
I  reside  at  One  Hundred  and  Ninth-street,  between 
Tenth-avenue  and  Boulevard;  I  have  lived  with 
Thonias  H.  Harding  about  two  years ;  for  the  past 
three  months  he  b^ame  greatly  troubled  in  his  znind 
on  account  of  his  troubles  in  business,  as  well  as  on 
account  of  his  divorce  snit  a^dn*^  his  sec- 
ond wife,  which  was  decided  against  him ; 
he  was  nervous,  excitable,  occasionally  wild 
in  his  actions,  and  at  times  melancholic,  and 
would  ehuige  from  one  state  to  another  quite  fre- 
quently ;  he  bad  a  wild  look  about  his  eyes ;  this 
morning  at  about  4  or  5  o'clock  I  was  in  bed  when 
he  came  to  the  bed-room  door  and  said:  "Mrs. 
AVoods,  come,  it'^time  to  get  up  ;"  I  told  him  to  go 
out  and  1  would  get  np  ;  he  looked  at  me  with  a  very 
wild  look  ;  I  got  frightened,  and  presently  he  ex- 
clainied,  "Oh,  the  treachery  of  woman  ;  lib,  you 
have  ruined  me."  and  with  tiist  he  seized  me  by  the 
throat ;  I  withdrew  from  his  grasp  and  strug^ed 
away  ;  I  then  ran  down  stairs,  and  when  hali-war 
down  received  a  pistol  shot  from  him  In  tbe '  left 
shoulder  ;  I  ran  out  of  the  house  and  went  in  next 
door  ;  this  is  all  I  know  a^ut  itj^  a  few  minutes  af- 
;terward  I  waa  informed  by  Mrs.  Edwards,  next  door, 
that  Harding  bod  shot  himself  and  was  lying  in  bis 
room ;  I  have  not  w^m  him  since. 

No  further  testimony  was  taken,  and  tha  inquest 
was  adjoujmod  until  a  future  day.  '<

^BELIMINART  INQUIRIES  BY  THE  COBOKER — 
^  POST-MORTEM      EXAJIINATION      BY     THE 

i  COITNTT  PHYSICIAN. 

*  Coroner  Crane,  of  Hoboken.  resumed  yester- 
day his  informal  preliminary  v.  .uiry  into  the  circum- 
stances aflTe^cting  the  alleged  murder  of  Hary  E. 
£ckert  hy  her  husband  Henry,  early  on  IMday 
.morning,  at  their  residence  in  Paterson-avenue, 
^West  Hoboken.  As  the  investigation  progresses  all 
doubts  as  to  the  guilt  of  the  accused  husband  vanish 


ftam  the  ndiidB  of  the  officials.      The  body  was  re- 
that  the  very  moment  he^failed  in  his  payments  his    _  moved  from  the  house  on  Friday  to  Crane's  Morgue, 


vrlfe  would  secure  his  incarceration  in  Ludlow-Street 
Jail.  During  the  trial  the  evidence  tended  to  show  a 
singular  infatuation  on  the  part  of  Harding  toward 
his  wife.  The  evidence  against  her  is  of  a  very 
strong  character.  Still,  Harding  is  sworn  to 
have  repeatedly  asserted  that  "he  hoped  his 
wife  would  be'  able  to  dear  horself  in  order 
that  he  might  take  her  back."  He  used  to  say,  the 
witnesses  assert :  '*  Ijb  must  go  from  me  now.  I 
must  have  a  triaL  1  must  have  her  innocence  or 
guilt  proved.  Ifjinnocont,  Iwill  gladly  take  hex  to 
mv  home  again.  *If  guilty,  I  want  no  more  to  do  with 
h«-."  These  were  lus  feelings  at  tho  beginning  of 
the  triaL  But  as  it  dragged  along  various  unforeseen 
results  followed  that  gradually  changed  Heardlng. 
The  disagreeable  nt.rtoriety  of  the  suit,  the  disgusting 
nature  of  the  details',  the  unfortxmate  clrenm  stances 
of  fc-ablldty,  all  tended  to  estrange  from  Hard- 
ing that  better  ,and  richer  class  of  ac- 
quaintances ,  whose  ■ -friendship  and  patronage 
he  needed,  and,  in '  fact,  'ofepended  on  for 
support  in  his  peculfar  busidesa.  With  their 
estrangement  he  saw  bdmself  getting  slowly,  but 
surely  reduced  In  circumBtances,  and  ho  felt  himself 
every  day  growing  poorer.  At  last  he  experienced 
difficulty  in  meeting  the  regular  demands  for  allmo- 
nv.  The  last  tlmece  was  in  his  lawyer's  office  be 
said  :  "  It  will  come  to  this  yet.  Lib  will  beat  me 
financially.  Before  i  this  snit  is  through  I  shall  be 
poor,  and  that  will  pot  me  In  her  power.  That  pow- 
er will  be  used  mereilessly  and  in  revenge  for  my  ex- 
posure of  her.  I  would  rather  die  a  thousand  tames 
Thnn  be  "jailed-"  Itr  makes  me  nearly  crasy — to 
lose  a  wife — a  home — nr^y  friends— my  position — my 
business,  and  then  end  rtp  in  a  miserable  jail— all  bo- 
cause  my  wife  has  gone  against  me." 

Mr.  Smith,  Harding's  lawyer,  is  firmly  of  the  be- 
lief that  Harding  has  for  some  time  past  oeen  quite 
insane.  He  believes  that  this  insanity  is  entirely 
due  to  the  divorce  suit  and  its  disagreeable  conse- 
wuences,  and  particularly  to  the  gloomv  ending  of  it 
as  regards  hmiself,  which  Harding  lately  brooded 
over.  The  last  time  Harding  was  in  the  office  of  his 
lawver  was  on  the  Ist  of  the  present  month.  Then 
he  owed  two  mouths'  alimony,  $tiO.  and  had  ex- 
perienced difficulty  in  raising  the  money.  He  had 
given  a  lieu  on  his  last  piece  of  property,  and  had 
Kold  a  wagon  at  a  sacrifice  to  get  ft.  He  told  his 
lawyer  that  he  didn't  know  where  the  next  monej 
would  com©  from ;  saying  that  he  had  ^ot  to  his 
string's  end,  having  parted  with  his  possessions  piece 
by  piece.  un.Ml  now  the  last  was  gone,  since  th« 
trouble  began  between- his.  wife  and  him-  "And 
now."  said  he,tl'ni   soon   be  completely  in  Lib's 

Yesterday  mooalna  being  completely  **  daft,"  as  the 
neighbors  say,  Tn^^-^dtrig  «>t  up  at  5  o'clock  and  entered 
the  sleoping-roomof  ni3  honse-keeperj  Mrs.  Agneas 
TiVootla,  who  has  bad  entire  charge  and  management 
of  Harding's  household  affairs  since  his  separation 
from  his  own  wlfa-  He  awakened  Mrs.  Woods,  and, 
as  if  addresaing  his  wife,  said  to  her,  *'  Libblc,  get 
up  and  dress."  She  ordered  him,  out  of  the  room. 
She  says  he  was  wild  and  cruy-looktng  and  carried  a 
pistoL    Harding  then  said  to  heri  "Lib,  you  have 

Joined  me Ishall  now  ruin  you !"  and  he  shot  at 

her.  Mrs.  Woods  jumped  up  and  fled  into  the  street, 
and  Harding  shot  again  at  her  as  she  ran  down  the' 
stairs.  One  of  the^hnllets  took  effect  in  the  woman's 
Ipf  t  shoulder,  pro^dna  a  very  painful  but  not  dan- 
gerous wound-  Wben  Sirs.  Woods  reached  tbp  street 
sOie  stood  and  screamed  for  help.  Mrs.  Bveralft.  who 
lives  next  door,  awakened  by  her  criea,  raaed  her 
window  and  told  her  to  nm  in  there,  which  the  did. 
When  Mrs.  Woods  was  safe  in  Mrs.  Everett's,  they 
heard  two  more  ^stol  shots.  An  alaxxa  waa  soon 
xaised  along  the  streeV  and  Officer  Scully,  of  the 
•rhirtieth  Precinct,  aiid  Smith  and  Senuard,  of  the

They  summoned  Br.  Utter.  He  eame  and  made  an

■       WHAT    MRS.    HAROrSG^S  MOTHER  SATJ. 

A  Tnres  reporter  last  evening  Tialted  the 
home  of  Mr.  George  Beekman,  the  father  of  Mrs. 
Harding,  on  Cedar-avenue,  West  New-Brighton, 
Staten  Island,  and  was  received  by  Mrs.  Beekmioi, 
who  expressed  her  regret  at  the  absence  of  her 
daughter.  She  introduced  the  reporter  to 
two  chabby  little  blue-eyed  boys,  ^  the  in- 
fant sons  of /the  suicide,  who,  as  the  elderis  scarce- 
ly 3  years  ot  age,  were  not  deeply  impressed  by  the 
'  tragic  affair.  Mrs.  Beekman  was  willing  £-:iough  to 
talk  about  the  event  and  the  incidents  wlftch  had  led 
to  it.  She  thought  that  Judge  Curtis'  decision  in  the 
divorce  suit,  on  the  :^6th  of  last  July,  should  be  re- 

red  as  a  proof  of  her  daughter's  innocence. 
Harding,  she  asserted,  had  been  living  openly 
with  Ames  ^Voods  for  two  years,  and  this  woman 
ahe  said,  was.  in  her  opinion,  the  cause  of  all  her 
daughter's  troubles.  She  had  spared  no  pains  to 
keep  old  wounds  open,  and  had  been  constantly  fo- 
nxenting  strife.  Mrs.  Beekmun  al&a  accused  certain 
relatives  of  A^es  Woods,  namtd  Chapel,  of  as-idsting 
her  in  her  designs  against  Mrs.  Harding's  happiness. 
On  the  28th  of  last  February,  Mrs.  ]&eekman  said, 
Mrs.  Harding  went  to  her  husband's  home  to  reclaim 
some  of  her  personal  effects,  and  Miss  Woods  had 
caused  her  arrest  for  larceny.  Mrs.  Beekman  as- 
serted that  Harding  had  two  children  by  Miss  Woods, 
one  of  whom,  a  boy  1  year  old,  was  living. 
She  had  opposed  her  daughters  marriage  to  1&. 
Harding  on  account  of  the  difference  in  their  ages. 

tWhen  fuie  was  married,  five  ypsrs  ago,  she  was  only 
'18  years  old,  and  Mr.  Harding  was  39.  He  was 
always  very  -  jealous  and  overl>earing.  She  re- 
hearsed the  stor>'  of  the  Zuidt  affair 
in  1875,  and  asserted  that  Harding's 
sole  reason  for  shootinc  Zandt  was  that 
he  had  met  Mrs.  Harding  on  Uie  street  one  morning, 
and  walked  with  her  a  short  distance.  He  shot 
Zandt  in  the  arm,  wounding  him  slightly.  This  was 
In  .Tuly,  1875.  Mr.  and  Mr?t.  Harding  lived  tran- 
quilly enough  together  for  a  month,  when  il  suddenly 

^occurred  to  Mr.  Harding  that,  in  order  to  make  hU 
position  in  the  Zandt  affair  clearer,  it  would  be  a 
proper  thing  to  institute  a,  dWorc©  suit  agabist 
his  wife.  Mrs.  Beckninn  said  that  he  then  proposed 
that  her  daughter  shoiud  make  no  defence,  and  that 

;  *IQ  days  after  he  obtained  his  divorce  they  should  be 

.remarried-  Mrs.  Harding's  family  made  her  put  In 
a  defense,  and  retained  the  services  of  a  lawyer.  Mr, 
Harding,  Mrs.  Beekman  said,  had  known  Miss  Libble 
Beekman  from  her  earliest  infancy,  and  had  alwa}'8 

jbeon  a  warm  friend  of  her  father. 

Mrs.  Harding  received  a  telegraphio  dispatch  yes- 
terday announcing  the  disaster  at  her  former  home, 
and  during  the  day  she  repaired  thither,  accompanied 
'  ly  her  father.

TBB  SOBOKEN  WIFE  MUHDER. 


in  Washington-street,  Hoboken,  where  a  post-mor- 
tem examination  was  made  yesterday  forenoon  by 
•Dr.  Converse,  County  Physician.  An  external  ex- 
amination resulted  in  the  finding  of  a  severe  contu- 
sion and  some  marks  of  discoloration  on  the  right 
.side  of  the  abdomen.  There  were  marlu  also  on  the 
right  thi{^  near  the  hip,  and  a  small  wonnd  below 
the  crest  of  the  right  ilium.  The  bones 
of  the  left  forearm  had  been  fractured, 
but  that  was  evidently  the  result  of 
the  woman's  fall  from  the  window.  It  appeared  that 
Internal  hemorrhaee  and  shock  were  the  direct  cause 
of  death.  The  abdominal  cavitv  contained  a  large 
i  quantity  of  blood,  probably  about  six  pints.  The 
shock  of  the  fall,  it  was  also  ascertained,  had  caused 
the  premature  birth  of  a  fully  developed  male  child. 
The  neight>orhood  in  which  Eckert  and  his  wife 
lived  is  chiefly  iniiabited  by  the  laboring 
classes,  the  greater  number  of  whom  are 
Qermans.  They  oeenpied  the  front  rooms  of 
of  the  top  floor  of  a  three-story  tenement.  A  broad 
nnpaved  alley  separates  the  building  on  the  eastern 
end  from  a  frame  tenement  occupied  by  a  ofocer  and 
several  families.  From  the  fact  that  the  woman  was 
found  in  the  all'  •■-way  in  a  dying  condltisn,  the 
Police  concluded  tuat  she  had  either  fallen  or  was 
tbjown  out  of  the  bedroom  window,  and  subsequent 
inquiries  pretty  well  confirmed  them  in 
the  latter  opmion.  In  the  first  place,  the 
neighbors  did  not  hesitate  to  aver  that 
Eckert  habitually  abused  his  wife,  especially  when 
under  the  influence  ■  of  liquor.  Mrs.  Durlnger,  the 
tenant  on  the  second  floor  front,  asserted  that  the 
man  waa  "cross"  when  he  returned  from  his  work 
on  TliuTsday  evening.  During  the  hours  tuttfrvening 
between  the  time  of  nis  return  and  midnight  sounds 
of  altercation  within  the  rooms  occupied  by  the 
couple  were  plainly  heard.  Mrs.  Dturinger  was 
awakened  about  midnight  by  the  screams  of  Mrs. 
Eckert,  and  soon  after  heard  her  husband  walk  shout 
the  rooms  and  descend  to  the  second  floor.  While 
there  he  grasped  the  knob  of  Mrs.  Durineer'a  sitting- 
room,  door,  but  finding  it  locked  returned  to  his  own 
apartments.  He  then  apparently  retired  to  sleep. 
Accordingto  the  statements  of  Alexander  Stoltz.  who 
lives  next  door,  and  the  husband  of  Mrs.  Duringer,  it 
was  2  A.  M.  when  the  woman  was  found  in  the  alley- 
'way  groaning  with  pain-  In  falling  from  the  win- 
dow she  had  apparently  come  in  contact  -wiih  the 
beams  of  an  unfinished  platform,  or  shed,  erected 
over  the  alley-way.  Eckert,  who  Is  now  confined  in 
the  County  Jail  awaiting  the  inquest,  still  denies  all 
knowledge  of  the  manner  in  which  tbe  unfortunate 
woman  fell  from  the  window,  and  persist*  in  a&sert- 
,  Ing  that  he  did  not  miarrel  with  ber  during  the  even- 
^g.  The  inquest  wul  be  held  In  tbe  Town  Hall, 
West  Holwken,  to-morrow  evening.

evidently  means  to  get  up  on  issue  on  what  I  did  not

**  It  is  agreed  on  all  hands  that  tiiey  [Wiggln  and

ing, "  Their  management  of  its  affairs  has  been  emi-

Early  in  June  last  a  person  calling  himMlf  O, 
H.  Boulton,  and  pretending  to  be  a  traveling  agent 
for  Metssrs.  Walker  A  Benwlek,  of  this  City,  sole 
agents  for  William  Harland  S$  Son's  KngUsh  Tarn- 
ishes, wss  arrested  at  Little  Book,  Ark.,  for  swind- 
ling  esrriaae  dealers  out  of  small  sums  of  ntoner- 
Hia  plan  was  to  visit  carriage-makers  as  an  author- 
ized agent,  and  to  borrow  money  on  the  strength  of 
drafts  on  the  firm  in  New-To^  for  the  amoimts 
loaned.  His  swindling  operations  had  prevlonsty 
been  carried  on  with  sueeess  in  other  dtles.  lavesti- 
gation  by  a  Idttle  BoA  dateetlve  showed  that  he  had 
vlctimixed  a  number  of  cairiageoaken  In  Richmond, 
where  he  passed  by  the  name  of  G.  H.  BoaHon,  and 
later,  in  Oolnmbna.  Ohio.  Cinetanati,  LoulsviUe,  and 
Kew-Orleans,  where  he  waa  known  as  G.  O.  Balstou, 
G.  H.  Bonltou,  A.  B.  Lewis.  G.  Hunt,  and  E.  M. 
Seaton.  The  drafts  given  by  him  to  his  viotims  were 
in  all  instances  returned  unhonored,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  he  was  not  in  any  way  connected  with  the 
firms  upon  whom  they  were  drawn.  Owing  to  a  fail* 
ure  of  tbe  complainanta  bx  little  Bock  to  proseeote 
the  charges  sgunst  him  the  fellow  escapM.  and  ts 
^ain  playing  his  old  game.  Some  time  ago  Mr.  Ren- 
wick  dlsjp-osea  of  hismterestinthe  ageney  for  Har- 
land  A  son's  varnishes  to  Mr.  John  R.  Walker,  Ma 
Xnrtner,  who  conducts  the  boriness  at  No.  2i27  Pearl- 
street.  Three  drafts  signed  "L.  B.  Oole,"  werepre* 
sonted  to  Mr.  Walker  during  the  past  week.  lliey 
were  all  drawn  on  Walker  £  Renwlok,  thus  showing 
thst  Cole  has  no  knowledge  of  the  recent  dlssolotloa 
of  partnership.  One  for  $15,  presented  on  Thnxsdi^, 
was  dated  Decatur.  HI. ,  and  was  drawn  to  the  oider 
of  Wayne  Brothers,  carriage-makers,  of  that  plaee. 
On  Friday,  another  order  tor  a  similar  amount,  In 
favor  of  Geo^^  Ely,  Champaign,  HL,  was  received, 
and  yestordsy  one  for  $75,  to  the  order  of  William 
WhitehUl  of  Danville,  DL,  was  oresented.  There  Is 
no  doubt  in  the  mind  of  Mr.  WaJker  that  Cole  is  the 
man  who  was  arrested  in  Little  Rock  in  June.  "Hiii  - 
handwriting  corresponds  exactly  with  that  of  Boul- 
ton, alias  L^wis,  Ac.  The  Police  authorities  in  tbe 
cities  in  Illinois  from  which  the  drafts  apparently 
eame  have  been  communicated  with,  and  the  au-

THE  SILK  SMUGGLING  CASES. 

BELBASE  AND  DEPABTURE  OF  THE  SPAIN — 
THE  SECUBITT  IN  THE  CASE  OP  THE  DKN- 
KABE  PEBFECTED. 
As  reported  in  yesterday's  Times,  the  steamer 
Spain,  of  tbe  National  Line,  was  accepted  by  Judge 
Blatchford  as  temporary  security  for  the  stecuner 
Denmark,  of  the  same  line,  which  was  libeled  on  ac- 
count of  the  ehargea  of  smuggling  pending  against 
employes  of  the  company,  but  was  allowed  on  Friday 
to  depart  on  her  voyage,  in  order  to  accommodate 
her  ownera  and  passengers  and  consignors  of  the 
freight  on  board.  The  Spain  was  to  have  sailed  at 
noon  yesterday,  but  could  not  go  until  tho  bond  to  be 
given  for  the  Danmark  had  been  perfected.  It  re- 
quired two  sureties  in  the  sum  of  $215,000  each. 
Mr.  Hugh  J.  Hastings  had  been  accepted,  and  bad 
qualified,  as  one  of  the  sureties  on  Friday,  and, 
about  1  o'clock  yesterday  afternoon  Mr.  William  R. 
Garrison,  son  of  Commodore  0.  K.  Garrison,  accom- 
panied by  3(r.  Hurst,  the  Manager  of  the  National 
Une,  and  Mr.  John  Chetwood,  the  counsel  of  the 
company,  appeared  before  Commissioner  Osbom,  In 
the  United  States  District  Court  Clerk's  Office,  to 
offer  hinwelf  as  the  other  surety.  ^  Gov.  Woodford, 
tbe  United  States  District  Attomev,  was  present  to 
represent  the  Government.  Mr.  Garrison  was 
nromptly  accepted,  and  the  bond  was  speedily  made 
out.  United  States  Deputy  Marshal  Dowley  then 
sprang  into  a  cab,  which  was  driven  quickly  to  Pier 
>o.  44  North  River,  where  the  Spain  wa.^  ^yi^.  *nd 
she  waa  released  forthwith,  and  steamed  down  the 
river  amid  the  cheers  of  a  large  crowd  assembled 
on  the  pier.  Mr.  Hnrst,  In  the  course  of  consulta- 
tion, said  that  it  had  been  diffiruK  to  get  bondsmen 
promptly,  as  most  of  those  who  would  willingly  have 
come  forward  immediately  were  oat  of  town.  He 
thought  that  the  Govemmen  t  might  have  permitted  the 
Denmark  to  depart  on  her  re^lar  ttme  by  the  com- 
pany simplr  filing  a  stipulation.  There  could  have 
oeen  no  nss  in  doing  so,  as  ahe  would  have  been  sure 
to  have  returned,  and,  in  any  event,  the  company  had 
ample  property  in  this  City  easily  available  as  securi- 
ty for  the  Government.  The  detention  of  the  Den- 
mark bad  exceedingly  inconvenienced  the  passen- 
gers, and  caused  the  company  considerable  loss.  Gen. 
Woodford  Rssured  Mr.  Hurst  that  he  had  done  all  In 
his  power  to  cause  ae  little  Inconvenience  and  delay 
ns  possible,  consistent  with  the  discharge  of  his  duty. 

TEE  JERSEY  RAILROAD  STRIKERS. 

EMPLOYES  OP  THE  CENTRAL  BOAD  POUND 
GUILTY  OP  CONTEMPT  OP  COUBT — THEY 
ABE  PINED  $50  EACH  AND  IHPBI60KED 
DURING  THE  PLEASUBB   OP  THE  COUBT. 

The  trial  of  the  Central  Railroad  strikers, 
which  has  occupied  the  attention  of  Ylce-Chaneellor 
Van  Fleet  for  tbe  past  four  days,  was  ooneluded  yes. 
terday.  Tbe  prisoners  were  arraigned,  not  upon  a 
charge  of  conspiracy  or  upon  a  criminal  Indictment 
for  violence,  but  for  contempt  of  court.  This 
coarse  was  taken  on  account  of  the  fact  that  the 
Central  Railroad  has  for  some  time  been  tn  Chan- 
cery, its  affairs  beiog  in  the  hands  of  a  Receiver  ap- 
pointed by  the  court ;  hence  It  was  held  that  all  em- 
ployes of  the  road  were  servants  of  the  court,  and 
that  the  strikers,  by  their  interierence  with 
aud  obstraction  of  the  husineSs  of  the 
road,  had  been  guilty  of  contempt.  The  evi- 
dence clearly  showed  that  several  of  the  prisoners 
had  interfered  to  prevent  others  from  working  ;  had 
detached  a  psssenger  car  and  run  it  on  to  a  siding  ; 
liad,  by  threats,  deterred  engineers  from  runuics 
their  trains,  and  bad  for  an  extended  period 
of  time  seriously  Impaired  the  traffic  of  the 
road.  In  reicard  to  defense,  there  was  none,  except  to 
show  which  of  the  prisoners  had  not  taken  part  in 
ttie  illegal  proceedings.  Mr.  Schomp,  who  summed 
up  for  the  nrisoners.  did  not  attempt  to  do  more 
than  show  that  certain  of  the  prisonen  were  tro- 
qaestionably  innocent.  Mr.  Clark,  also  for  the  de- 
fense, held  that  the  prosecution  must  show  some 
overt  act  on  the  part  of  tlie  prisoners  to  establish 
their  guilt.  Mr.  v  anatta,  for  the  prosecution,  cited 
the  fact  that  the  btislness  or  the  road  was 
wholly  suspended  for  four  days,  except  when  an 
occasional  car  or  train  could  be  got  through  by 
stealth.  Notices  were  served  by  these  men  on  other 
working  men — notices  which  could  be  construed  in 
no,  way,  save  as  threats  of  personal  violence,  if  the 
parties  notified  continued  at  work. 

At  the  opening  of  the  court  yesterday,  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  said  that  the  question  to  be  decided  was  a 
very  simple  one.  It  was  merely  to  say  whether  the 
prisoners  had  unlawfully  interfered  with  the  busi- 
ness of  the  road  or  not.  Prom  the  25th  to  the  29th 
of  July  the  control  of  the  road  had  been  taken  from 
the  hands  of  the  Receiver  and  others  had  usurped 
the  court.  They  had  warned  all  persons  to  desist 
from  labor,  at  the  penalty  of  incurring  violence 
at  tbe  bands  of  an  infuriated  mob.  No 
one  quest  ions  the  right  of  these  men  to 
quit  worlt.  Their  wrong-doing  consisted  In 
deterring  others  from  working.  The  Vice-chancellor 
then  reiaewed  the  evidence  as  it  applied  to  the  vari- 
ous prisoners.  Of  the  guilt  of  Garri«ht,  Knott,  and 
Snyder  there  could  be  no  doubt;  that  of  Schwartz 
and  Matthews  was  equally  clear ;  Frederick  Darling 
was  with  the  prisoners,  but  there  was  no  proof  of  any 
unlawful  act  on  Ms  {Hirt,  and  he  must  be  discharged. 
As  to  McGovem,  while  his  case  was  not  free  from 
doubt,  the  court  was  of  opinion  that  he  acted  under 
intimidation,  and  would  order  his  discharge.  In  re- 
gard to  Sliine  the  court  waa  not  satisfied  and  would 
hold  his  case  under  advisement  untU  Monday, 
the  27th  lust.  The  Vlce-Caancellor  then 
called  James  Schwartz,  Albert  Snyder,  Bd- 
ward  Knott.  Charles  Garrecht,  and  James 
Matthews  up,  and  sentenced  them  to  pay    a  fine  of 

foO  each,  and  to  stand  Imprisoned  in  the  County 
ails  of  Warren  and  Somerset  during  the  pleastire 
of  the  court.  Garrecht  will  go  to  Somerset,  the 
others  to  Warren.  The  prisoners  received  their  sen- 
tences with  little  or  no  feeling,  but  Snyder's  wife 
and  children,  who  were  present,  wept  violently. 

AN  OIL  FIRE  IN  NEWARK  BAT. 
At  5:30  o'clock  last  evening  the  building 
known  as  the  "Agitator,"  belon^ng  to  the  Ameri- 
can OUworks,  and  situated  on  l^ooter's  Island,  at 
the  mouth  of  Newark  Bay,  fadng  the  Kill  Von  KtiB, 
cai^t  fire,  and  at  11  o'clock  the  fire  was 
still  burning  brightiy,  lighting  up  the  watera 
of  the  bay  and  the  surrounding  shores'  of  Kew- 
Jcrsey  and  Staten  Island.  The  fire  was  preceded  by  a 
loud  explosion,  and  flames  btirst  forth  Immediately 
on  all  sides,  and  in  less  than  an  hour  the  walls  of 
the  building  were  level  with  the  cround.  At  11 
o'clo<^  when  a  TiMKS  reporter  visited  the  island,  the 
site  of  the  "  Agitator"  was  coveted  with  burning  oQ 
and  the  destructiou  of  tbe  adjoining  builmngs 
seemed  to  be  inevitable.  Workmen  were 
busily  rolling '  barrels  of  fdl  out  of  the 
reach  of  the  flames  down  to  the  dock,  where  a  lighter 
was  moored.  There  were  eight  or  ten  men  on  the 
island,  hut  no  one  could  give  any  intelligent  aeooont 
of  the  cause  of  the  disaster,  or  knew  anything  con- 
cerning the  insurances,  If,  indeed,  there  aze  any. 
There  were  no  visible  precautions.  ^g**^*«t  ilre

Mr.  W.  H.  Webb  is  now  putting  tbe  flniahing

the  north-west  eomer  of  Fifth-avenue  and  Forty-

year.  This  building,  iriilah  is  six  stories  in  height, 
and  has  two  stories  below  the  sidewalk,  is  hollt  en- 
tirely of  Nova  Sootta  yellow-stone.  It  was  designed  as 
a  family  hotel,  and  has  been  leased  and  wiU  be  opened 
aa  such  on  the  lat  of  September  by  Mr.  Oharies  F. 
I>odge,  recently  of  the  Palace  Hotel,  in  Sam  Frandseo. 
The  new  hotel  wUl  be,  in  some  respects,  tmique 
among  the  inns  ot  Ihii  eonntry.  It  will  contain  ae- 
wanmodations  for  about  140  persons,  in  snites  of 
from  three  to  six  zboms  each ;  the  guests  wiU/umish 
their  own  apartments,  and  the  intention  is  to  make 
Utfe  tn  the  establishment  as  much  like  life  In  a  private 
house  as  possible.  The  parlors  and  reception-rooms 
win  be  reserved  for  private  entertainments,  and 
any  family  having  apartments  in  the  hotel  may 
give  receptions  to  their  friends  with  all  the  exdusive- 
ness  of  such  enteriatnments  in  private  dwellings. 
As  for  the  building,  Ur.  Webb  has,  to  a  great  extent, 
been  his  own  architect.  The  Interior  arrangements 
are  all  of  his  own  designing.  The  size  of  tbe 
plot  is  75  feet  by  125  feet,  and  the  building  has  one 
grand  entrance  on  Forty-second-street,  and  another 
on  the  aveoue ;  there  are  wide  staircases  connected 
with  each  entrance,  and  two  elevators,  one  o| 
which  will  be  reserved  for  the  guests,  while  the  other 
win  be  used  by  the  waiters  and  other  servants,  and  for 
tbe  conveyance  of  meuls  to  upper  rooms,  and  for 
loffiage.  The  walls  are  three  feet  thick  at  the  base, 
and  nearly  all  of  the  partitions  are  of  brick,  thus 
making  one  of  the  strongest  and  safest  buildings  In 
the  Cl^,  The  building  has  an  Interior  court,  and 
Mr.  Webb  thinks  that  It  is  the  best  lighted  and  ven- 
tilated hotel  building  in  this  country,  without  an  ex- 
ception. The  two  hallwsys  are  floored  in  marble, 
and  brick  walls  intervene  between  the  two  stair- 
cases,anunusualfeature  in  hotels,  and  one  of  great  ad- 
vantage iu  case  of  fire.  Indeed,  the  precautions 
against  fire  In  the  hotel  are  in  every  way  ex- 
cellent. There  are  fire  hose  and  other  flre-eztiu- 
guiahing  apparatus  on  every  floor,  worked  by  strong 
hydraulic  engines  hy  the  simple  turning  of  a  cock. 
Ciroton  water  and  gas  are  arranged  so  as  to  supplv 
each  floor  independentlv,  And  there  is  a  gas  meter  m 
each  suite  of  apartments,  so  that  guests  may  control 
their  own  supply. 

The  large  puolie  dining-room,  resplendent  with 
large  mirrors  and  frescoing,  is  the  principal  room  on 
the  ground  floor.  It  is  23  feet  wide  and  02  feet 
long,  and  private  dining-rooms  adjoin  it.  The  par- 
lors and  reception-rooms  are  commodious,  and  will 
be  elegantly  furnished  and  upholstered:  there  is  a 
t^niiard.room  and  a  barber's  room  :  but,  as  a  matter 
of  course,  in  such  an  establishment  there  wUl  be  no 
drinking-bar.  Bath-rooms  and  doeets  are  at- 
tached to  every  suite,  and  alfo  indepen- 
dent bath-rooms  and  other  conveniences  upon 
each  floor  and  In  the  basement.  The  kitch- 
en, as .  every  prospective  guest  of  the  hotel 
will  be  glad  to  learn,  is  airy  and  com- 
modioufi,  and  will  be  well  appointed.  A  light  and 
well- ventilated  dining-room  for  the  nursea  and  their 
charges  is  easy  of  access  by  either  elevator.  Con- 
cemms  the  elevators,  it  Is  well  to  say  that  they  are 
not  adjacent  to  any  room,  and  guests  will  not  be  an- 
noyed oy  the  noise  of  their  running.  One  distinc- 
tive feature  of  the  house  Mr.  Webb  points 
out  with  pardonable  pride.  Although  he 
has  not  been  able  to  conquer  that  great 
problem  which  all  hotel  builders  have  to  contend 
with,  and  make  every  room  a  comer  room :  yet  he 
has  done  the  next  best  thing,  and  provided  plenty  of 
windows,  and  consequently  plenty  of  sunlight. 
Nearly  every  room  boa  more  than  one  window.    The 

rlor  floor  and  the  two  flooni  above  it  are  finished 
hard  woods,  and  the  others  are  painted  in  paril- 
colors.  The  halls  will  be  heated  by  air  which  passes 
over  steam  coils  in  the  cellar,  and  the  rooms  by  radi- 
ators placed  under  tbe  windows,  so  that  the  hot  air 
will  be  likewise -fresh.  Mr.  Webb  thinks  that  the 
situation  o^he  house,  on  the  hiehest  point  of  Mur- 
ray Hill,  is  a  particularly  deairabie  one  for  a  family 
hotel.  The  hotel  will  be  conducted  by  Mr.  Dodge  on 
the  American  plan.-  ^^^ 

BUSINESS  TliOUBLES. 

Porter  &  Bainbridge,  card  manufacturers  at 
No.  33  Beekman-street,  have  failed  with  $20,000 
liabilities,  and  nominal  assets  in  excess  of  the  above 
amount.  General  depression  is  ascribed  as  the  cause 
of  the  failure. 

Frederick  W.  Coffin  and  WilUam  Roscoe 
Xjyon,  composing  the  firm  of  Coffin  &  Lyon,  paper 
dealers,  of  No.  23  Beekman-street,  assigned  their 
nroporty,  for  the  benefit  of  creditors,  to  Josiah  P. 
Marquand,  Jr.,  yesterday. 

Messrs.  Spelman  Brothers,  wholesale  dealers 
in  fancy  goods  and  notions.  No.  369  Broadway,  sus- 
pended payment  vesterday.  The  firm  is  unable  at 
present  to  state  the  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities, 
although  the  latter  will  probably  reach  $200,000. 
Among  the  creditors  are  most  of  the  leading  fancv 
goods  unjwriers  and  manufactnrers,  while  a  consid- 
erable amount  of  the  paper  has  been  sold  through 
Wall-street  brokers. 

Dr.  Robert  D.  McGraw,  of  No.  46  West  Fifty- 
first  street,  has  been  adjudicated  a  bonlcmpt  on  his 
own  petition  ^y  Register  Little.  He  owes  about 
^0,000,  but  his  schedules  ore  very  incomplete. 
Bacon  Brothers  &  Starr,  brokers,  have  a  claim  for 
924,000  for  losses  In  stock  transactions.  Among  the 
other  claims  is  one  of  James  H.  Ingersoll  for  money 
advanced  during  the  past  ten  years,  the  amount  of 
which  tbe  Doctor  does  not  know. 

The  wholesale  dry  goods  house  of  Emery.Ivey 
At  Lee,  No.  357  Broadway,  suspended  payment  yes- 
terday, with  liabilities  which,  though  not  definitely 
known,  will  approximate  $200. OtK).  The  assets  are 
a  stock  of  mcrcnandlse  which  will  probably  inventory 
about  $110,000  ;  notes  and  accounts,  thought  to  be 
good,  at»ut  $00,000,  and  real  estate  worth  al>ont 
$5,000.  The  failure  is  due  to  the  general  pressure 
ot  the  times,  and  severe  losses  through 
bad  debts  in  the  first  half  of  the  present  year. 
About  two-thirds  of  the  indebtedness  Is 
duo  to  dxy^  goods  commission  houses, 
the  balance  to  Wall-street  note  buyers.  As  soon  as 
the  firm  became  aware  of  its  condition  it  invited, 
under  the  adrice  of  Chamberlain,  Carter  &  Eaton, 
Messrs.  Henry  A  Page,  of  Falkner,  Page  &  Co.;  Cor- 
nelius N.  Buss,  of  Right.  Bliss  &  Fabyan  ;  Henry 
Lawrence,  of  Woodward,  Lawrence  &  Co.;  John 
Byers.  of  Parker,  Wilder  &  Co.,  and  Woodbury 
lAUgdoD,  of  Joy,  Laujcdon  A  Co.,  to  act  as  s  commit- 
tee of  creditors  to  determine  what  plan  of  settlement 
will  be  most  advautogeuus  to  all  concerned.  This 
comm]tt<*e  met  yesterday  and  appointed  as  its  im- 
mediate representative  in  the  matter  Mr.  Henry  H. 
Stokesbnry,  of  the  late  firm  of  Cochran,  McLean  & 
Co.  A  detailed  statement  of  the  aftairs  of  the  firm  is 
in  course  of  preparation,  and  will  be  submitted  to 
the  creditors  some  time  this  week. 


A  TELEGRAPH  MANAGER  ABSCONDS. 

Walter  W.  Ottley,  the  mnnager  of  the  office 
of  the  American  District  Telegraph  Company  at  No. 
270  West  Twenty-third- street,  has  been  a  fugitive 
from  Justice  since  Friday.  It  has  been  discovered 
that  he  has  heen  systematically  robbing  the 
company  for  two  years;  although  Hx.  £.  W, 
Andrews,  the  President  of  the  compspy.  ssid  yes- 
terday to  a  Tucks  reporter  that  the  amount  of  his 
defalcation  was  very  small,  probably  not  exceeding 
$200.  His  methods,  however,  were  curious.  He 
would  suspend  a  message  boy  for  three  days  or  so  ; 
mark  over  the  figures  on  the  receipt  for  the  boy's 
salary  before  the  boy  signed  it  tbe  reduced  sum  in 
lead-pencil,  and  after  the  boy  hod  signed  the  receipt, 
he  would  erase  the  lead-pencil  marks,  and  thus  have 
a  receipt  for  the  full  sum.  Ottley  is  a  man  of  about 
45  years  of  age,  had  been  in  the  emplrfy  of  the  com- 
pany for  three  years,  and  was  formerly  a  conductor 
on  the  Long  Island  Railroad.  He  has  a  wife  and  two 
children.  It  is  not  thought  that  he  has  left  this 
country.

was  insensible,  robbed  him  of  two  under  and  two 
over  shirts,  a  pocket-book,  and  a  pipe,  with  wliich  be 
made  his  escape.  Yesterday,  after  a  long  ch&<^, 
Engle  was  arrested  by  OflQcer  Hurley,  and  upon  ar- 
raignment  before  Justice  Betts  was  fully  committed

A  girl  belonging  to  the  Smith  family  has  for 
some  time  past  been  employed  to  do  house-work  in 
the  family  of  Mr.  H.  R.  Pitts,  at  Rlverhead.  Although 
not  yet  lb  years  old,  she  bestowed  her  affections  upon 
a  married  man  named  Geoige  Wnlion,  Jr.  Ou 
Friday  evening  ahe  left  the  service  of  Mr.  Pitts,  and 
started  to  cross  the  river  with  Walton.  The  pair 
were  met  on  the  bridge  by  the  girl's  nu-ents,  who 
ordered  her  to  go  home  with  them.  Walton,  how- 
ever, "  pitched  into"  the  Smiths,  pire  et  mire,  cleared 
the  field,  afid  went  off  in  triumph  with  the  damsel. 
Subsequently  it  was  ascertained  that  she  had  gon^  to 
her  aunt's  at  Yapbank,  and  Officer  Pitts  took  her 
hack  to  her  parents,  but  Walton  has  apparently  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  the  climate  of  Klverhead  does 
not  agree  with  him,  as  he  has  not  since  made  his  ap- 
pearance there.

at  the  house  of  ilrs.  Buddington,  Xo.  33  Ward-

Y'esterday  was  JCew-Jersey's  great  annual  wash- 
day, the  one  day  of  the  year  when  all  the  farmers  in  the 
•StAte  seek  the  sea-shore  and  the  river  banks  for  a 
bath.  All  the  public  erroves  and  parks  with  water 
fronts  were  cr*>wded  all  day  with  a  motley  crowd  of 
country  people.  At  Florida  Grove  it  is  sai*  there 
were  5, 000  persons  woshins'snd  picnidng.  and  other 
points  of  resort  were  equally  well  patronized.  The 
picnicers  arrived  at  the  shores  eaily  in  t/ie  morning, 
very  many  bein^  on  the  grounds  at  daylieht.  ate  their 
meals  from  well-filled  hampers  under  the  trees,  and 
started  for  home  ag^n  soon  aft*^r  night-fall.  There 
was  scarce  a  family  in  the  iniral  districts  who  did  not

commaudiug  tho  dep^artment  Qi  Texas,  tliat  on  tiie   . 
12th  inst.  a  number  of  men  crossed  the   Rio  Grande

nous  reply :  i 

Cadekatta,  Mexico,  Ang.  14.  1S77.       j 
To  Gen.  Canales : 

Be  kind  enough  to  transmit  to  Gen.  Ord  tho  fol-  j 
lowing :  I 

Gexeral  ;  By  your  telegram,  dated  yesterday,  T  i 
am  informed  that  the  prison  at  Rio  Grande  was  onr-  ! 
ried  by  ossatdt  by  bandits :  that,  according  to  your  j 
ideas,  they  are  Mexicans  or  persons  resident  in"  this  j 
countrv.  "'With  this  object  you  will  permit  me  to  ob-  I 
serve  that  I  do  not  think  it  probable  that  persons  ; 
have  passed  from  Mexico  to  commit  this  crime,  'ce-  j 
cause  in  Rio  Grande  City  there  is  an  inSnity  of  per-  j 
sons  of  diiferent  nationalities,  and  I  do  not  think  it  i 
just  that  the  authorities  rf  Tamaulipas  should  be  in- 
culpated for  the  assault,  as  represented  iu  the  other 
countrv,  even  if  by  Mexicans  or  persons  of  another  |

A  JANITOR'S  USE  OF  A  SHOT-GVy. 
Richard  Wiuslow  is  the  janitor  who   has  t 
charge  of  the  Cooper  mansion,  a  large  unoccupied  | 
residence,  and    the    *»rounds  which  surround  it.   at  \ 
Fifth-avenue  and  Macomb-street,   Brooklyn.    Wins-   I 
low  lives  in  the  hack  part  of  the  house.    On   tho 
fifTOunds,  which  conuin  a  great  many  city  lot,   are  , 
fine  shade  trees  and  some  beautiful  grassy  slopee.  ' 
The   picltets  being  broken  round  the  erounds,  the   I 
ciiiJdren  of  the  neighborhood  have  been  in  the  habit 
of   entering   to   play   in   the   grass   and     seek  the 
shade     ot     the     trees     when     the     sun    is    hot. 
Winslow,    it    is    said,    has    fired  a  shot-gtin   at  tbe 
children  thus  trespassing,   and  sometimes  at  their  .■ 
mothers.    On  the  15th  inst.  he  fired,  ai  allefred,  ai  a  > 
boy  named  James  Quifrg.    of  Xo.  57S  Carroll  street.   ! 
wounding  him  in  the  head.     Quige  &  parents  applied 
for     a     warrant    for    Winslow.     YesterdRy    Officer 
O'Rourke  arrested  Winslow.  and  Justice  Bloom  com- 
mitted him  to   Ravmond-Street  Jail  to  await  ex^- 
intttion.    When  "O'Rourke  went  to  the  Cooper  man- 
sion to  arrest  Winslow  he  was  not  in.    His  wife,  bow- 
ever,  who  woe  ven^  violent,  said  that  it  was  she  who 
fired  the  shot  at  Qui^.  and  expressed  the  hope  that 
he  was  badly  hurt.     It  is  said  that  a  number  of  chil- 
dren are  suffering  from  wounds  received  from  Wias- 
low's  shot-gun.  ■

VICTOKY  IN  ASIA  UiyOS. 

London,  Aug.  20— The  Time^  dispatch, 
dated  Shnmlft,  Aug;.  18,  s&ys  a  janction 
of'  Soleiman  Pasha  vith  Mehemet  Ali 
may  bo  regarded  as  beyond  doubt. 
The  Ifemf  oorrespondent  at  Studenl 
telegraphs  as  follows :  "I  understand  that .  for 
the  fatore  the  Army  and  Imperial  Head-^narters 
will  remain  united,  which  seems  to  imply 
that  the  Emperor  will  encourage  the  soldiers 
by  his  actoa]  presence  on  the  battle-field. 
The  Emperor  is  pleasantry  quartered  in  a 
good  boose  oatside  of  the  Tillage,  and  seems 
in  excellent  health  and  spirits.  The  air  is 
pore  in  contrast  to  that  at  Biela.  The- health 
of  the  suite  is  much  improved,  but  ,Gen. 
Ignatieff  is  still  ailing.  Prince  Galatrin 
bos  bean  obliged  to  leave  for  Karlsbad.  A 
stream  of  reinforcements  is  flowing  now 
steadily  through  Boumauia.  It  is  expected  that 
both  the  guard ;  and  grenadier  corps  will  be  in 
Bulgaria  by  thei-flrst  week  in  September.  The 
staff  here  calculate  that  180,000  men  are  now 
actually  on  the  march  to  reinforce  the  Army. 
The  next  battle  about  Plevna  is  meant 
to  be  decisive ;  hence  the  delay  for  the 
sake  of  insuring  success.  The  Fourth 
Cavalry  Division  hag  beeu  detached  on  an  inde- 
pendent expedition  for  the  purpose  of  stop- 
ping Turkish  commnrri cation  with  Sophia  by 
blockxDg  the  Oichordik  Pass,  the  main 
thoroughfare  and  easiest  marching  route  over 
the  Balkans.  It  is  felt  here  that  this  should 
have  been  done  earlier. 

Heuter's  dispatch  dated  Kustendji,  Saturday, 
says:  "The  Bnssian  Army  has  occupied  this 
town.  There  are  no  signs  of  either  the  Turkish 
Army  or  fleet.  A  dispatch  from  Timova,  dated 
Friday,  states  that  the  Russian  Army  oc- 
cupies in  force  a  line  extending  from 
that  town  to  the  Schipka  Pass.  The  Turks 
are  a  considerable  distance  off,  and  do  not 
make  any  demonstration.  It  is  said  the  Russians 
intend  to  blockade  Plevna,  but  wiU  not  attempt 
to  take  it  by  assault.  Osman  Pasha's  supplies 
are  beginning  to  fail. 

A  disoatch  from  St,  Petersburg  says  that,  at 
the  sx>ecial  request  of  the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas, 
the  mobilization  of  two  more  divisions  of  grena^- 
diers  and  one  cavalry  division  has  been  oi^ 
dered. 

A  Router  dispatch  from  Alexandria  says  the 
reports  that  the  Egyptian  contingent  in  Turkey 
wUl  be  increased  have  lately  been  gaining  ground. 

The  Nile  has  ceased  to  rise  during  the  last 
four  days,  and  is  now  14  feet  below  the  average 
of  the  last  three  years.  ' 

Renter's  Erzeroum  dispatch  and  an  official 
telegram  from  Mukhtar  Pasha  state  that  on 
Saturday  the  Russians,  numbering  35,000  in- 
fantrv,  10  reiriments  of  cavalry,  and  110  guns, 
attacked  JIukhtar  along  the  whole  line,  extend- ' 
ing  from^IagarajikhtoYakinlar.  The  cannon- 
ide  commenced  at  7  in  ^e  morning,  at  and  6 
in  the  evening  the  Russians  retreated  in  good 
jrder  to  their  encampment  pursued  by  the 
Turks.  The  Turks  lost  165  killed  and  wound- 
id,  and  the  Russians  1,200.

ADBIASOPLE,  Monday,  July  30,  1877. 
It  is  impossible  that  there  can  be  many 
}leasanter  things  in  life  than  to  be  ordered  to 
leave  Pera.  "Within  my  experience  there  is 
lothing  quite  so  dreadful  as  Pera  in  the  world. 
[  have  had  nine  or  ten  weeks  of  it,  and- 1  had 
jrown  aweary.  Pera  is  a  quarter  with^every 
possible  disadvantage  belonging  to  a  wilder- 
ness, and  with  none  of  the  advantages  belong- 
ing to  a  town.  A  doleful  place,  where  night 
was  hideous  and  day  was  dull.  One  could  bear 
the  mosquitoes.  There  was  the  constant  hope 
and  ever-recnrring  chase  for  revenge,  and  in 
that  many  a  man  found  his  com3>ensation  for 
the  misery  they  inflicted.  One  could  have 
borne  the  beckrJues,  a  dreadful  tribe  of  men 
whose  sole  business  in  life  is  to  go  about  and 
make  a  noise  at  night — one  could  have  borne 
them  but  for  the  reflection  that  they  made  their 
hideous  row  on  purpose,  and  were  paid  for  doing 
it.  But  the  dogs !  It  is  so  old  a  theme  that  I  am 
ashamed  to  descant  upon  it.  Satire  eind  sor- 
row, invective  and  profanity  beyond  all  saying 
have  been  invested  in  it,  and  the  dosrs  go  on. 
It  is  not  their  business  to  read  up  the  opinions 
of  travelers,  or  to  institute  measures  of  re- 
form against  themselves.  Their'  business 
is  to  spend  the  day  in  breeding 
fleas,  and  the  night  in  howling.  Every 
individual  dog  is  a  flea  farm  in  a 
high  state  of  cultivation,  and  every  individual 
do;;  has  vocal  power  and  melancholy  iteration 
enough  to  destroy  the  nightly  dreams  of  a 
whole  city.  It  is  only  justice  to  say  that  the 
jackal,  whose  praises  have  been  a  good  deal 
sung  in  this  direction,  is  not  to  be  held 
in  comparison  for  a  moment  with  the 
Constantinople  dog.  I  have  to  thank 
that  never  suf5cieniy  denounced,  that 
ineffable,  abominable,  beastly  dog,  for  ruined 
nerves  and  a  broken  dlge^on.  I  have  to  thank 
hiro  for  a  darkened  conscience  and  a  hardened 
heart  I  have  to  thank  him  for  gusts  of  rage 
which  were  once  foreign  and  impossible  to  my 
nature,  and  for  the  utterance  of  wishes  shock- 
ing to  Ijenevolence  and  repugnant  to  Christian 
principle.  I  shall  dream  in  future  years  of 
Pera  in  my  worst  nightmares,  and  shall  awake 
with  its  nightly  bowlings  ringing  with  fiendish 
cadence  in  my  ears.  .  Yet  I  desire  to  be  fair  to 
the  City-  of  the  Golden  Horn.  If  I  dream 
through  nightmare  hours  of  the  inside  of  the 
city,  no  dream  of  b  ?auty  I  may  ever  have  will 
go  beyond  the  glories  of  its  outer  seeming. 
Seen  from  the  Golden  Horn  as  the  blessed 
caique  in  which  I  left  the  place  clove  the 
emerald-colored  water,  and  as  the  morning  sun 
set  all  the  minarets  and  domes  aSame  with 
gold,  and  lit  stately  fai^e  above  facade,  and 
set  the  vivid  green  of  trees  aglow  like  living 
emeralds,  the  place  was  lovely  past  all  fancy. 
Seraglio  Point  was  bathed  in  amber  hazes,  and 
every  lovely  outline  was  softened  and  refined, 
out-U  the  place  looked  like  some  fairy  city,  and 
one  could  scarcely  breathe  lest  the  whole  vision 
^ould  dissolve  and  vanish. 

A  railway  station  in  Stamboul !  An  anachro. 
nism  in  the  home  of  anachronisms !  A  score  or 
two  of  Turks  and  Jews  and  Armenians  and 
Wallachians  and  Bulgarians,  and  here  and 
there  a  European  waiting  for  lie  train.  Frugal 
travelers,  provisioned  for  the  day's  jonmey,  and 
^rearing  perhaps  a  dozen  thin  rings  of  bread 
like  an  exaggerated  bracelet  on  the  wrist  Trav- 
elers less  frugal  sipping  coffee  and  smoking  cig- 
arettes in  the  waiting-room.  Men  o!f  eve^y  pos- 
sible shade  of  complexion,  and  a  score  or  so  of 
varieties  in  dress,  hurrying  to  and  fro  with  bag- 
gage ;  guards  in  trim  uniform,  -with  French 
peaked  caps,  checking  off  the  baggage  and  di- 
recting disttacted  passengers.  Everywhere  a 
cheerful  bosUe  and  confusion  utterly  unlike  the 
ordinary  run  of  Turkish  life.  We  are  up  too 
early,  my  dncoman  and  I.  and  all  this  bustle  of 


preparation  goes  on  fc^  at  least  an  hotnr  before 
we  start.  But  at  last  the  sign^  is  given,  and  we 
are  released  from  the  room  in  which  we  have 
hitherto  been  imprisoned  as  though  we  medi- 
tated grave  deaigiw  against  the  interests  of  the 
State,  ud  are  allowed  to  enter  the  train.  The 
cacriage  is  comfortable  and  well  upholstered — 
thqngh  a  trifle  stuffy — and  our  long  journey 
seems  likely  to  be  a  pleasant  one.  Now  we  are 
off,  with  such  a  panorama  on  our  left  as  no  liv- 
ing pidnter,  and  indeed  no  painterwho  ever  lived, 
could  do  adequate  justice  to.  Yet  it  prevtuls  on 
me  to  do  justice  to  a  certain  painter  whose 
dreams  I  have  long  doubted.  Once  upon  a 
time  somebody,  looking  at  a  picture  of  the 
greatest  English  painter,  remarked  skeptically 
that  he  had  never  seen  such  a  sky.  •'  I  dare 
say  you  haven't,"  said  Turner  ;  "but  don't  you 
think  you'd  like  to  1"  I  have  for  years  envied 
the  modem  English  painter,  Jlr.  Brett,  his 
power  of  seeing  purples  and  greens  and  am- 
bers and  generally  unimaginable  glories  in  sea- 
water,  and  have  always  disbelieved  in  his  ac- 
curacy, though  I  have  loved  the  exquisite  beauty 
of  his  colors.  But  here  I  surrender  all  doubt. 
Not  even  Brett  could  lay  on  canvas  such  a  jew- 
eled richness  as  drowsed  before  us  in  the  Bos- 
phorus  that  morning,  nor  even  he  could  paint 
such  hiUs  as  were  beyond  it  Such  an  ethereal 
blue  they  were,  with  such  depths  of  purple  in 
their  shadows,  and  such  changing  gleams  of 
light  about  them  !  The  whole  landscape  as  we 
went  was  rich  with  beauties.  The  boats  that 
slept  upon  the  waters  were  'sweet  with  many 
colors,  and  the  dirty,  lazy,  lounging  rascals  who 
lay  sleepily  and  carelessly  about  them  were 
beautiful  with  distance.  Our  way  lay  past  the 
molderlng,  crumbled  city  wall ;  and  past  a 
church-yard,  gray  with  memorial  stones  and 
sad  with  the  shade  of  cypress  trees  ;  and  past 
great  stretches  of  open  country^  baked  bare  and 
brown  by  the  intense  Summer  heat ;  and  past 
quiet  vtUages  which  made  me  fancy  that  I 
must  have  been  suddenly  transported  to  Tip- 
perary,  so  tumhle-down  and  picturesque  and 
Irish  were  they*;  and  past  quiet  streams  which 
made  a  glass  for  ovetbanging  trees,  unruffled 
by  any  touch  of  air  ;  and  past  groups  of  pict- 
uresquely attired  soldiery,  who  salutad  the 
train  as  we  went  by  ;  and  through  whole  fields 
of  camomile  and  acres  of  sunflowers  growing 
in  lush  wildness.  with  here  and  there  a  long 
patch  of  Indian  com,  which  waved  its  white 
hair  in  iba  glancing  sun  and  made  the  bare 
fields  beyond  it  glad  with  the  cool  green  of  its 
leaves.  A  journey  to  be  remembered  for  its 
beauties,  for  its  quaintness,  for  the  verdant 
luxury  of  the  land.  A  journey  to  be  remem- 
bered also  for  a  thousand  evidences  of  neglect 
and  idleness,  and  thankless  scorn  of  bounteous 
nature's  gifts — ^for  a  thousand  evidences  of  decay 
and  stupid,  unconquerable  old  toryism. 

The  introduction  of  a  railway  into  Turkey 
has  had  one  beneficial  effect  at  least  No  doubt 
it  will  in  time  have  many,  but  this  was  inevi- 
table and  immediate.  The  Turk  is  a  gentleman 
who  goes  about  such  business  as  he  has  in  the 
slowest  and  laziest  possible  fashion.  The  rail- 
way occasionally  makes  him  run,  for  trains,  like 
time  and  tide,  wait  for  no  man,  not  even  in 
Turkey.  You  should  have  seen  him  run— the 
collective  Turk,  I  mean — at  one  of  the  stations 
on  our  route.  A  score  or  two,  all  fat  and 
elderly  and  dignified  in  aspect  by  nature,  wad- 
dling over  the  ground  at  a  rate  for  which  no 
man  would  have  given  them  credit,  and  tum- 
bling into  the  carriages  with  panting  cries,  pre- 
sented, perhaps,  the  most  gratifying  spectacle  I 
have,  seen  in  Turkey.  It  pleased  me  to  see 
Western  civilization  hitting  the  Oriental  in  his 
one  weak  place  in  this  way.  At  Tcholou  we 
came  upon  a  train  which  was  laid  by  there, 
iraifing  to  be  attached  to  ours.  It  was  crammed 
full  of  soldiers — was  overflowing  with  them,  in 
fact  They  sat  on  the  roofs  of  the  carriagas, 
and  swarmed  about  the  trucks  of  baggage  and 
ammunition  which  accompanied  them,  and  hung 
their  bare,  bronzed  le^s  out  of  windows,  and 
lolled  lazily  and  jovially  about  the  platforms, 
singing  their  monotonous  nasal  songs,  and  beat- 
ing time  with  hands  and  feet.  Thfey  were  going 
up  to  join  Suleiman  Pasha's  army,  which  lies 
at  Yazi-Ezgrad.  and  they  were  as  jolly  and  as 
full  of  spirits  as  soldiers  going  up  to  the  fro  nt 
generally  are.  You  can  never  s.iv  much  for  the 
Turkish  soldiers'  dress  and  general  appoint- 
ments, but  they  look  lik?  true  fighting  stuff  if 
only  they  were  properly  disciplined  and  oiB- 
cered.  They  are  all  men  of  splendid  physique, 
and  look  wiry  and  hard  bitten.  These  particu- 
lar fellows  have  seen  a  good  daal  of  fighting 
within  the  last  year  or  two.  for  they  have  only 
just  been  withdrawn  from  the  war  against  the 
indomitirtjle  mountaineers  of  Montenegro.  Their 
experience  is  not  likely  to  be  of  any  special  ser- 
vice to  them  in  regular  warfaro.  The  Montene- 
grin method  of  fighting  is  not  likly  to  be  that 
adopted  by  the  Russians,  though  every 
now  and  again  in  a  brush  against 
the  Cossacks  these  warriors  of  the 
mountains  mavhave  a  chance  of  practising  their 
accustomed  tactics.  Suleiman  Pasha  is  a  brave 
and  able  officer,  and  may  be  relied  upon  to  do 
his  best  with  his  intractable  materials ;  but 
neither  he  nor  any  man  can  very  well  be  ex- 
pected to  achieve  a  complete  control  over  these 
wild  and  lawless  spirits.  Largs  numbers  of 
them  have  already  disbanded  themselves,  and 
now  wander  about  the  country  in  armed  bands, 
living  by  brigandage — a  method  of  life  which 
their  instincts  and  training  alike  lead  them  to 
prefer.  I  was  a  good  deal  astonished  weeks  ago 
in  the  capital  when  one  of  my  cherished  no- 
tions went  completely  by  the  board.  It  had  al- 
ways been  my  fixed  belief — as  I  suppose  ft  is  the 
fixed  belief  of  most  people — that  every  Turk  in 
the  Sultan's  wide  dominions  was  ready  and  will- 
ing to  fight  for  the  upholding  of  his  throne. 
But  there  are  a  great  numberof  desertions  from 
the  ranks,  and  the  fiery  enthusiasm  one  has 
been  led  to  expect  is  not  one-half  so  general 
as  is  supposed.  It  is  not  that  the  Turk  is  one 
bit  afraid  to  fight,  but  he  prefers  to  go  aroundon 
his  own  hook  and  to  have  his  little  share  of  loot 
all  to  himself,  and  he  hates  to  be  drilled 
and  commanded.  There  were  37  desert- 
ers aboard  the  train,  and  it  was  said 
by  some  of  my  traveling  companions 
that  when  they  reached  the  main  army  they 
would  be  at  once  sentenced  to  be  shot  The 
general  opinion,  however,  seemed  to  be  that 
they  would  be  compelled  to  join  the  army,  and 
that  no  punishment  worth  mentioning  would  be 
inflicted.  Their  captors  for  the  present  drove 
them  about  in  a  very  angry  fashion,  and,  as  my 
dragoman  told  me,  abused  them  like  pick- 
pockets. My  dragoman,  by  the  way,  is  a  per- 
fect treasure,  a  most  accomplished  lincnist,  a 
man  who  has  traveled  oyer  half  the  civilized 
and  nearly  all  the  uncivilized  globe,  and  a  gen-' 
tleman,  or  something  very  like  one,  Into  the 
bargain.  This  is  the  home  of  polyglots,  and  it 
is  really'not  at  all  an  infrequent  thing  to  meet 
mere  children  who  can  talk  half  a  dozen  lan- 
guages. Nobody  is  at  all  surprised  to  meet  a 
man  who  talks  ten  or  a  dozen,  while  a  man  in  a 
decent  position  in  life  who  has  not  command  of 
two  or  three  tongues  besides  his  own  has  to,  be 
quite  ashamed  of  himself. 

At  the  station  at  which  we  encountered  the 
troops  there  were  two  or  three  trains  waiting, 
and  in  one  of  the  carriages  of  that  which  lay 
alongside  there  were  a  number  of  Turkish  la- 
dies. It  is  only  to  be  emected  that  when  a 
woman  is  pretty  she  should  not  only  know  it 
herself,  but  should  be  quite  willing  that  other 
people  should  know  it  too.  The  bevy  I  ^eak  of 
evidently  made  up  a  harem,  and  th^  chances 
were  that  the  poor  things  had  never  seen  an 
American  In  aU  their  lives  before,  and  that  thev 


might  never  see  one  again.  So  I  pnt  my  head 
out  of  the  window  to  give  them  an  opportnnity, 
and  the  youngest  and  prettiest  of  the  party 
put  out  hers  and  took  an  innocent  look 
round,  and  caught  my  eye  by  accident  once  or 
twice.  In  our  own  train  there  was  an  elderly 
Turk  in  a  white  turban  and  a  grizzled  black 
beard,  and  though  the  old  rascal  had  no  more 
right  to  be  looking  at  another  man's  wives  than 
I  had,  he  took  umbrage  at  me,  and  scowled  in 
an  appalling  way.  When  I  remained  impervious 
to  the  scowl  ana  the  young  lady  continued  to 
catch  my  eye  by  accident,  that  old'  Turk  called 
one  of  his  servants  and  ordered  him  to  close  the 
door  of  the  ladies'  carriage  and  have  the  blinds 
pulled  down.  There  were  two  or  three  children 
with  the  hidies,  and  they  were  clambering  up 
and  down  the  steps  of  the  carriage  and  amusing 
themselves.  The  servant  bundled  them  in  and 
locked  the  door,  and  an  elderly  old  party  who 
had  given  up  wanting  to  catch  any  young  man's 
eye  by  accident  for  rather  more  than  half  a  cen- 
tury— to  judge  by  the  look  of  her — 
pulled  down  the  blinds,  and  the 
old  Turk  took  his  hea^  in  growlingly. 
1  am  not  a  vain  man ;  but  the  sympathies 
of  the  younffer  lady  were  evidently  in  Ay  direc- 
tion, and  we  continued  to  look  at  each  other  by 
accident  until  the  train  moved  on.  I  was  a  lit- 
tle angry  at  that  old  Turk's  unwarrantable  in- 
terference with  the  liberty  of  the  subject, 
though  I  suppose  it  was  natural  enough  in  him, 
and  1  took  occasion  to  abu.se  Turkey  and  Turk- 
ish institutions.  But  the  old  gentleman  moUi- 
fled  me  before  many  hours  were  over,  and  I 
shall  remember  bim  plea-santly  always.  We  had 
neglected  to  provide  ourselves  with  previsions  for 
our  journey,  knowing  very  well  that  there  were 
restaurants  along  the  line,  and  that  there  would 
be  stoppages  made  for  refreshment.  It  turned 
out,  however,  that  at  the  first  of  these  a  colony 
of  German  residents  were  in  the  habit  of 
dining  daily,  and  that  they  had  fallen  vo- 
raciously upon  all  avaiiuhle  provender  be- 
fore we  got  there.  When  we  came  to  the 
next,  we  d.ished  at  it  with  a  hungry  urdor,  and 
were  encountered  by  a  dirty  boy,  who  informed 
us  that  there  were  no  pro^-isions  in  the  place, 
not  evefti  bread.  They  expected  the  Russians, 
so  the  dirty  boy  informed  us,  and  the  proprietor 
of  the  restaurant  hsd  cleared  out  under  the  im- 
pression that  thwe  would  be  no  more  traveling 
that  way  for  a  little  time  to  come.  We  could 
have  a  glass  of  beer,  he  told  us,  and  with  that 
light  refection  we  were  fain  to  be  content.  When 
we  came  back  to  the  platform,  my  dragoman 
went  into  bitter  complaint  in  all  the  languages 
at  his  command,  and  delivered  a  sort  of  polyglot 
harangue  on  the  discomforts  of  the  situation. 
The  old  Turk  overheard  it,  and  sent  a  servant 
round  to  us  ■with  a  polite  message  and  some 
rinpj  of  delicious  bread.  wh:ch  we  very 
thankfully  accepted.  Hospitality  is  the  very 
instinct  and  nature  of  a  Turk.  He  can 
do  anything  at  you  if  you  look  at  his 
■wife,  or  at  anvbody  else's  wife  in  his  prescnte. 
and  woul4  disembowel  you  or  impale  you  with 
the  utmost  calmness — giaour  as  you  are — on  a 
lighter  provocation,  but  he  'will  not  sc^e  even  a 
dog  go  hungry.  Christians  rank  somewhere 
next  to  dogs  in  his  scheme  of  things,  and  his 
hospitality  is  ■wide  and  catholic  enough  even  to 
extend  so  low.  But  this  was  done  courteously 
and  kindly,  and  Uke  a  gentleman,  and  I  beg  to 
thank  that  old  gentleman  for  his  gift  of  bread 
and  for  the  gracious  way  in  which  it  was  offered. 

Toward  nightfall  we  .saw  from  our  carriage 
windows  the  spires  and  domes  ot  a  great  city  a 
mile  or  more  to  our  right,  all  dim  and  gray  with 
the  gloom  of  evening,  and  know  that  we  were 
at  Adrianople.  The  station  was  crowded  with 
more  troops,  and  there  were  trucks  bearing 
b.itteries  oi  guns,  an<J  pro->-isions.  and  aiumuui- 
tion  for  the  forces,'  drawn  up  in  long  Unes  and 
clustered  thickly  with  soldiers  who  could  find 
no  room  in  the  carriages.  SVe  found  a  cab  out- 
side the  station,  and  having  bestowed  our- 
selves and  our  luggage  safely  therein,  were 
driven  along  a  wide  and  level  road — the  best  I 
have  yet  s-een  in  Turkey — toward  the  town. 
Such  a  beautiful  peace  and  calm  were  on  the 
whole  wide,  park-like  landscape,  as  we 
drove  along  below  the  brightening  star?, 
that  one  grew  unwilling  to  believe 
that  all  tho.=e  instruments  of  death  were 
near  and  that  this  lovely  scene  itself 
might  shortly  be  a  very  Golgatha.  The  full 
moon  hung  low  down  in  the  sky,  and  the  faint, 
long  shadows  of  the  trees  were  soft  upon  the 
turf  and  on  the  dimly.gleaming  roadway. 
When  "we  came  to  the  town  all  was  silent  and 
deserted,  as  though  the  place  bad  been  a  city  of 
the  dead.  Not  a  light  gleamed  anywhere:  not 
a  footstep  sounded.  We  saw  no  creature  until 
we  drove  into  a  narrow  passage,  and  the  door 
which  blocked  our  way  was  opened  by  a  sleepy 
servant,  who  rubbed  his  eyes  and  ya'wned  as  if 
newly  awakened.  In  the  broad  courtyard  of 
the  hotel,  and  on  the  steps,  and  in  the  open 
corridors,  the  servants  of  the  place  lay  asleep, 
curled  up  on  little  pallets,  and  the  whole  place 
seemed  utterly  given  up  to  Jlorpheus.  We 
succeeded,-  however,  in  making  a  decent 
meal,  and  then  feeling  disinclined  for 
bed,  we  took  a  sleepy  boy  and  made  bim 
light  a  lantern  aad  sallied  out  into  the  streets. 
The  city  is  not  yet  in  a  state  of  siege,  though 
the  formal  proclamation  is  expected  daily,  but 
the  new  Governor  has  is.'sued  an  order  to  the 
effect  that  no  citizen  shall  stir  out  after  night- 
fall without  a  lantern,  on  pain  of  instimt  arrest. 
The  Roumanians  are  an  economic  people,  and 
they  save  their  candies  by  not  going  out  at  all 
after  sundown.  We  found  a  melanclioly  little 
cat'^  after  a  time,  and  played  billiards  on  a  table 
which  had  a  bed  of  wood  instead  of  slate  beneath 
the  cloth.  The  balls — one  of  which  had  a  piece 
knociied  out  of  it — rolled  about  with  as  much 
noise  as  the  Dutchman's  nine-pins  made  in  the 
CatskiU  Valley,  and  the  cushions  projected 
them  which  way  they  chose,  and  we  very  shortly 
gave  up  the  game  iu  despair,  and  went  back  to 
the  hotel  again  and  so  to  bed.  I  have  since  dis- 
covered that  that  warped  billiard-table  repre- 
sents the  sum  total  of  the  material  provided 
for  innocent  public  recreation  in  the  second  city 
of  this  vast  and  populous  empire. 

Matters  here  lire  assuming  a  very  serious  com- 
plexion. Four  days  ago  Ali  Pasha,  the  ex-Gov- 
ernor, left  for  Constantinople,  where  things 
'wiU  probably  be  made  uncomfortable  for  him, 
and  his  removal  and  the  uppnititraent  of  his 
succes.<-or  have  ver>*  considerably  disturbed  the 
city.  Some  fortnight  back,  when  the  flying  ru- 
mors of  the  approach  of  the  Russians  were  first 
confirmed,  the  people  were  seised  with  panic, 
and  the  leading  citizens  of  the  respective 
Christian  popnlr.tion — Greeks,  Germans,  Eng- 
lishmen, and  so  forth — took  counsel  together, 
and  in  result  sought  their  Consuls  and  requested 
that  steps  might  be  taken  for  pre-serving  the  in- 
ward order  of  th-^  city.  Tho  consulate  ofllcers. 
thus  appealed  to.  took  joint  artiou,  and  together 
laid  the  case  before  Ali  Pasha,  who.  while  ap- 
parently as  panic  stricken  as  anybody  in  the 
city,  obstinately  refused  to  listen  to  the  plea  pre- 
seiiited  to  him.  and  denounced  it  as  an  in.soient 
intert'erence  with  his  authority.  Not  content 
'with  this  stupid  piece  of  work,  he  made  matters 
worse  bj-  stating  to  one  of  the  native  citizens 
that  the  position  was  desperate,  and  thus 
adding  fuel  to  that  fire  of  panic  which 
it  was  his  especial  duty  to  extinguish.  -  The 
Consuls  carried  their  appeal  to  the  Sublime 
Porte,  and  the  response  came  immediately  in 
the  shape  of  the  imperative  recall  of  the  Gov- 
ernor and  the  appointment  of  Ibrahim  Pa-^ha 
to  his  place.  Among  the  vulgar — to  whom  the 
cause  of  tho  change  is  not  known — the  change 
itself  has  been  productive  of  a  thousand  rumors 
and  a  generally  unsettled  feeling.  Everj-thing 
in  war  time  in  such  a  countrj'  as  this  necessarily 
conspires  to  awaken  fear,  but  there  can  be  little 
doubt  that  the  people  of  Adrianople  have  more 
than  mere  chimera  ta  alarm  them.  Within  the 
last  two  or  three  days  a  village  between  this 
and  Phillppopolis  has  fallen  into  thehandsofthe 
Cossacks,  who  have  sacked  and  burned  it  For 
two  days  railway  commtinication  was  suspend- 
ed, and  the  line — broken  by  the  Russians  in 
se'veral  places — was  only  restored  two  nights 
ago.  The  English  Consul  of  the  city,  who  was  at 
Philippopolis  when  the  Cossacks  broke  the 
railway  line,  .  felt  that  his  duty  required 
bim  to  be  at  his  post  and  straight- 
way mounted  horse  and  rode  across  the 
country,  arriving  here  greatly  fatigued, 
but  otherwise  none  the  worse  for  his  journey, 
late  last  Saturday  evening.  The  Cossacks  have 
already  been  seen  south  of  Adrianople,  and  they 
are  hovering  in  clouds  on  the  north,  plundering 
and  burning  everywhere,  and  heralding  the 
arrival  of  their  main  body.  Three  hundred  of 
them,  accompanied  by  a  number  of  Bulgarian 
peasants,  who  accord  them  willing  help,  made 
a  dashing  attempt  upon  a  bridge  wluch  is  of 
great  strategical  importance  to  the  Turks.  It 
is  situated  near  Haskeni,  and  is  represented  as 
being  the  best  and  most  strongly  built 
in  fliat  part  of  the  country.  It  seems 
that  they  had  neither  dynamite  nor  gtiapowder, 
and  that  they  were  forced  to  attempt 
to  break  down  the  bridge  by  means  of  pickaxes 
and  levers.  Just  as  they  had  set  to  work  they 
were  suprised  by  a  detachment  of  the  defend- 
ing forces,  and  an  obstinate  conflict  ensued, 
which  ended  in  the  defeat  of  the  Cossacks,  who 
left  no  fewer  than  40  of  their  number  dead 
upon  the  field.  I  conversed  last  Saturday  with 
the  wife  of  the  Station  Master  at  Haskeni.  who 


told  me  that  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  village 
had  fled  at  a  moment's  notice  on  the  approach 
of  the  Cossacks,  leaving  everything  behind 
them.  Every  day  fugitives  reach  Adrianople, 
and  every  day  "Turkish  residents  of  wealth  and 
positton  make  their  way  from  here  toward  the 
capital,  taking  their  children  and  their  wives 
with  them. 

The  work  of  fortification  at  Adrianople  is 
being  pushed  on  "with  unusual  energy,  and  a 
series  of  batteries  is  being  erected  all  round  the 
town.  On  the  northern  side,  where  it  is  plainly 
to  be  seen  that  the  Russians  could  easily  com- 
mand the  whole  city  from  the  heights,  a  bat- 
tery of  21  Krupp  guns  has  been  erected,  cover- 
ing the  only  position  which  would  really  be 
valuable  to  the  enemy.  News  of  a  great  defeat 
of  the  Russians  at  Yamboll  arrived  here  ou  the 
26th.  but  though  the  statement  that  a  victory 
has  been  achieved  is  still  adhered  to,  its  di- 
mensions have  greatly  dwindled,  and-  it 
now  seems  that  it  was  a  mere  affair 
of  outposts.  Rumor  flies  and  lies  here 
as  she  surely  never  flew  and  lied  before,  and 
nothing  except  that  which  one  actually  sees  is 
trustworthy  until  it  has  been  sifte<l  again  and 
again.  I  had  yesterday,  on  the  best  authority, 
a  comic  little  storj-  apropos  of  the  recent  occu- 
pation of  the  Bashi-Bazouks.  True  to  them- 
selves and  their  reputation,  these  geritlemen 
swaggered  about  here  as  if  the  place  belonged 
to  them,  and  bullied  the  inhabitants  ivith  a 
lordly  freedom  all  their  own.  There  is  a  cer- 
tain haberdasher  in  the  Bazaar,  with  whose 
name,  strangely  enough,  I  was  quite  familiar 
years  before  I  ever .  thought  of  seeing 
Adrianople.  During  the  Crimean  war 
he  was  Turkish  interoreter  to  Gen. 
Wyndham.  He  was  allowed  to  keep 
a  canteen  in  camp,  and  bis  place  was  the  favorite 
resort  of  both  the  English  and  the  French  of 
rank  and  file.  He  was  a  jolly  fellow  then,  as  he 
is  in  his  oivn  way  still,  and  everybody  knew  the 
busy,  good-natured  litt'e  Hungarian.  '*  Wynd- 
ham's  Goldsticn  "  they  called  him.  He  has  been 
settled  here  for  16  years  now,  and  almost  thinks 
himself  a  native  of  the  place.  One  of  the  Bashi- 
Bazouks,  slTOlliug  throuch  the  bazflflr,  stepped 
into  Goldstien's  store  and  asked  the  price  of 
some  article  or  other.  The  answer  was  that  the 
article  was  for  sale  at  5  piastres.  The  savage, 
having  so  far  discovered  that  Ije  could  have 
things  all  his  own  way  by  dint  of  a  little  bully- 
ing, drew  his  sword  and  quietly  remarked  that 
if  he  didn't  get  that  article  for  y  pia.stres 
he  should  kill  the  vender  and  have  itfornothing. 
But  Wyndhcm's  Gold^tien  was  another  kind  of 
man  to  the  cogging  Greeks  and  crying  Jews 
with  whom  the  savage  had  so  far  had  to  deal. 
There  happened  to  be  on  Goltetion's  counter  an 
iron  yard  measure — honest  measure,  let  us  hope 
— and  the  valiant  little  haberdasher  made  a 
rush  for  this,  armed  himself  \rith  it,  and  defied 
the  truculent  invader.  The  invader  got  out  of 
the  shop  immediately,  but  he  felt  so  aelumed  of 
himself  that  he  went  into  the  next  but  one  and 
retrieved  his  position  aa  a  bully  by  chasing  an 
active  you#k  Jew  the  whole  length  of  the  bazaar 
at  the  sword's  point.  These  scoundrels,  while 
they  have  to  deal  with  people  who  let  them  seo 
that  they  are  afraid,  are  absolutely  irrepres- 
sible. They  have  no  bent  of  mind  which  is 
not  purely  animal  and  savage,  and 
their  cruelty  is  only  equaled  by  the 
utter  wantonness  with  which  it  is  exercise"!. 
Only  on  the  daj-  of  my  arrival  here  a  woman 
came  to  the  Bishop  of  the  Greek  Church, 
bearing  with  aer  one  of  the  arms  of  her  dead 
husband,  who  had  literally  been  hacked  in  pieces 
by  these  ruffians.  Nothing  was  done.  Nothing, 
I  suppose,  cotild  be  done.  It  was  impossible  to 
identify  the  marauders,  since  there  are  count- 
less bands  of  them  at  large  throughout  the 
coimtr)-.  Many  of  their  atrocities  are  charged 
on  the  Bulgarians,  but  a  wealthy  Bulgarian  citi- 
zen has  .some  time  offered  here  a  premium  of 
1,000  piastres  to  anybody  who  will  prove  a 
single  instance  against  his  couDtiymen,  and  no 
one  has  yet  taken  the  reward. 

The  people  are  complaining  of  the  extravagant 
prices  to  which  provisions  have  risen  in  conse- 
quence of  the  war ;  but  prime  meat  can  be  bad 
at  3  piastrc-s  thc.fKque,  {le^s  than  3cen'sai>ound,) 
and^Pfts  at  9  piastres  a  hundred.  These  are 
war  prices,  and  a  man  can  live  here  in  luxury, 
in  time  of  peace,  ou  alK'Ut  $2  a  week. 

As  I  am  about  to  mail  this  I  receive  intelli- 
gence of  an  engagement  of  outposts  between 
tho  troops  of  Chakhir  Pasha,  commanding  the 
Ottoman  advance  guard,  and  the  Russians  oc- 
cupying Eskizaara.  Raouf  Pasha  has  also  had 
an  affair  with  the  troops  camped  on  the  heights 
dominating  '^'ennizaara.  ana  in  both  of  these 
the  Turks  have  been  successful.  Chakhir  Pasha 
is  ex-Chef  d'Etat  Major  of  the  Hcrzegorininn 
Army.  He  is  a  man  of  accomplished  military 
education  and  very  active.  He  is  at  present 
engaged  in  a  strenuous  attempt  to  drive  back 
the  Russians  from  the  position  they  occupy 
near  the  point  of  junction  of  the  railroads  be- 
tween Yennizaara  and  Kara-Bowmon.  At  this 
latter  place  the  whole  force  of  the  Turks  .south 
of  the  Balkans  is  nt  present  concentrated. 
Raouf  Pasha  protects  on  his  .side  the  front  of 
the  "^'amboli  Railroad,  to  which  so  much  dam- 
age has  already  been  done  by  the  enemy.  The 
Cossacks  are  .seen  in  every  direction  in  the 
vicinity.  From  Tumova.  iS'emenly,  and  Hir- 
manli.  Mussulmans  are  flying  with  their  cattle. 
Between  Yamboli  and  Constantinople  trains 
nave  resumed  their  tran.sport  of  emigrants.  At 
Kaidjik.  a  village  in  which  the  native  merchants 
have  built  stores  for  export  goods,  it  is  said 
that  the  Bulgarians  have  made  an  outbreak, 
and  burned  down  several  of  the  stores.  .  The 
damage  is  estimated  at  $10,000,  and  is  sus- 
tained chiefly  by  European  traders.  There  are 
several  Bulgarian  stores,  none  of  which  have 
been  touched.

A  MANIFESTO  FECI!  THfi  HEAD  OF  THE 
TURKISH  MILITARY  SrHOOL — THE  ALL- 
rOWERFVLXESS  OF  ALL.\H — THE  FAULTS 
COMMITTED — FORTIFICATIONS  OF  CON- 
STANTINOPLE— SOW  THE  CITY  IS  DE- 
FENDED—THE SACRED  DUTY  OF  EACH 
MUSS'CLMAN. 

Fivm  our   Otcn  C^trmjymyt'nt, 

Constantinople,  Monday,  July  30,  1 877. 

Although  Turkish  officials  are  extremely 
reticent  in  affording  the  pu'ilio  any  information 
regarding  militarj-  affairs,  yet  occasionally  the 
Sublime  Porte  authorizes  the  publication  of  a 
manifesto,  for  the  purpose  of  inciting  those  of 
its  people  who  are  called  upon  to  bear  arms, 
and,  as  it  were,  encouraging  the  patriotism  of 
its  raw  military  material.  A  document  of  the 
kind  referred  to  has  just  been  published  by  the 
Turkish  newspapers.  It  emanates  from  Ali 
Suava  Pasha,  the  head  of  the  Imperial  Military 
School  The  manifesto  is  quite  of  a  piece  with 
the  documents  of  tho  Sublime  Porto  from  time 
to  time  published  for  the  purpose  either  of  ex- 
cusing itself  for  the  errors  it  has  committed,  or 
with  a  view  to  deny  facts  which  in  the  opin- 
ion of  the  world  at  large  are  undeinable.  I  give 
you  a  translation,  not  because  the  document 
possesses  any  peculiar  merit  of  its  own,  but  be- 
cause ;it  illustrates  the  strong  faith  which  the 
Turks  profess  to  see  in  the  all-powerfulness  of 
Allah,  and  at  the  same  time  give  certain  in- 
formation upon  m'llitary  matters  which  at  the 
moment  is  certainly  interesting  : 

There  is  no  reason  we  should  despair  at  this  mo- 
ment about  the  sitaatioii.  or  fear  that  oar  resistance 
will  not  be  equal  to  the  attack  of  the  Russians.  We 
are  engaged  iu  a  war  which  we  could  not  avoid.  We 
have  done  all  that  it  was  oo.isible  to  do  in  order  to 
take  the  necessary  militaiy  measores ;  but  we  have 
committed  a  fault  in  adoptins;  an  offensive  plan  in. 
stead  of  a  defensive  one.  [This  is  Uterallytranslated 
from  the  Turkish,  but  it  is  doubtless  a  transposition 
of  the  words  "defensive"  and  "offensive."]  Did 
not  our  adversary  seem  to  tell  as  in  xaarching  against 
us:  ''I  shall  enter  your  country,  I  ahull  cut  aff  ydar 
people,  and  shall  separate  from  you  your  Christian 
powers.  I  shall  take  possession  of  the  Balkan  passes 
in  order  to  accomplish  my  design,  and  shall  tell  you 
then,  in  a  common  accord  witn  mv  brothers  of  Eu- 
rope, that  the  affair  is  finished."  We.  instead  of  re- 
plying to  h'uDj  "No,  we  shall  not  open  the  doors  to 
yoa ;  we  Bbali  not  let  yon  come  in,  and  shall  use  all 
our  efforts  to  repel  you,"  have  answered:  "Let  our 
adversary  come  m ;  let  him  try  to  execute  his  menace ; 
we  shall  then  reflect  on  the  means  of  dri'ving  him 
away."  Are  the  faults  that  have  been  committed 
due  to  ignorance  or  to  any  other  catise  1  That  Is 
what  the  next  trial  now  about  to  take  place,  will 
prove.  Let  us  lorset  by -gone  wenta,  ana  arrive  at 
our  object.  That  is  to  say,  let  us  try  to  show  that 
there  is  no  reason  for  despair. 

Hrjt — Because  the  head  and  the  feet  of  the  coun- 
try are  healthy.  We  have  a  VadUhah  who  is  voung 
aiid  stroug.  He  has  studied  attentively  the  life  of 
the  three  Padixhaht,  his  predecessors.  He  has 
known  how  to  appreciate  the  goodness  of  the  first 
how  to  find  oat  the  mistakes  committed  by  the  sec- 
ond, and  to  appreciate  the  results  of  the  fears  and 
suspicions  of  the  third.  He  haa  inherited  the  bravery 
and  the  magnaninuty  of  his  grandfather,  the  good- 
ness and  justice  of  heart  of  his  father,  and  has 
worked  hara  to  deliver  the  Empire  from  the  difBcoI- 
ties  that  keao  it  suazwnded  between  tife  and  death.' 


difficulties  that  he  has  met  with  at  the  very  moment 
of  his  ascent  to  the  throne.  Alone  ho  prepares  the 
measorefl  for  driving  out  the  enemy  ;  can  God  refuse 
to  assist  such  a  sovereign  possessing  such  qualities, 
and  who  is  placed  at  the  head  of  so  many  thousands 
of  warriors  t 

Second — Are  our  troops  vanquished  f  Certainly 
not.  On  the  contrary.  'They  are  more  desirous  than 
ever  to  make  war.  and  are  m  the  best  condition  for 
waging  it.  Has  not  Russia  in  all  the  wars  that  she 
has  made  with  ns  had  In  equally  superior  numbers 
troops  which  are  at  her  command  in  the  present 
war  !  We,  on  the  contrary,  have  never  had  under 
arms  such  a  large  army  as  that  with  which  we  op- 
pose her  to-day. 

Third — Is  our  nation  so  much  weakened  that  the 
least  touch  of  the  hand  of  our  adversary  can  make 
it  fall  7  The  commander  of  the  armies  of  AnatoUn, 
in  his  marches  and  countermarches,  has  found  him- 
self  taken  between  two  columns  of  the  enemy  ;  but 
making  heroic  efforts,  he  has  succeeded  not  only  iu 
getting  off,  but  has  beaten  and  pat  to  rout  an  enemy 
three  times  superior  in  unmber.  This  prove-s,  then, 
that  the  Russians  are  neither  dragons  nor  are  they 
equal  to  Hercules,  pn  the  contrary,  they  are  weak, 
and  it  is  suffident'for  us  to  touch  them"  in  order  to 
make  them  fall. 

FourVi — The  epoch  of  tergiversations  has  passed ; 
the  serious  lighting  is  going  to  begin.  Men  whose 
life  does- not  api»roach  its  end  have  taken, the  direc 
tion  of  the  warj.  Men  both  civilized  and  young,  who 
are  not  at  all  accustomed  to  receive  slaps  in  their  faces 
from  the  Mo.scovs  and  others,  are  at  the  head  of  our 
brave  Army. 

tyth — We  do  not  desire  at  all  to  upset  the  covered 
table  of  tho  rimitziii  (cakc.«elleni  of  Constantinople) 
in  order  to  have  tho  simlts  devoured  by  the  dogs 
which  wait  all  arotmd  with  their  mouths  wide  oi»eii. 
Let  us  suppose  that  tlie  Russians  are  marching 
aKainst  Constantinople,  a  town  the  two  sides  of  whicli 
are  protected  by  tho  sea.  la  it  possible  that  it 
could  bo  besieged  by  an  army  that  comes  by  land  '. 
and,  this  supposition  being  realized,  must  we  believe 
everything  lost  and  cry  amen  ? 

t<ixlh — Can  wo  not  defeat  the  enemy  even  licforo 
Constantinople  ?  Constantinople  cjm  be  defended 
by  two  lines  of  intrenrhments  from  Dercos  to  Tcbek- 
nicdjc.  and  at  lost  we  ran  even  occupy  Pera.  Top- 
djil.-xr-Tepe.ssi,  and  Mnln^p^  and  resist  vigorously. 
Theso  monsters,  which  the  incapacity  of  a  chief  haa 
allowed  to  cross  the  Danube  without  drowning  ti.em 
ther«.  to  pass  tho  Bulkims  without  cutting  their 
throats,  ptuT^ed  by  onr  Osmans  and  our  .Snleymans, 
if  they  come  we  sh'all  conquer  them. 

SrvetUJt — Time  never  in  w.inting  to  him  who  wishes 
to  work.  Do-you  not  still  remember  tnat  when  the 
English  fleet  passed  the  Dardanelles  and  advanced  as 
far  as  the  sea  of  Marmora,  the  Sultan  Seliin,  not 
losing  his  head,  made  the  inhabitants  construct  forti. 
fications  in  four  days  only,  notwitlistandine  the  short 
space  of  time  tliat  be  had  Iwfore  him.  With  regF.rd 
to  the  number  and  the  armament  of  nnr  fortifica- 
tions, an  Idea  can  be  formed  by  the  foUowing  list.

An  ancient  custom  existed  In  Constantinople 
73  years  ago  by  which  all  the  inhabitants  were  to  be 
controlled,  and  the  vagabonds  errinK  In  the  town 
were  sent  awav  to  their  countries.  Tho  population 
at  that  time  w.is  less  by  at  least  half  than  it  is  at 
present.  If.  then.  01/ guns  were  transported  and 
placed  on  tho  intrenchmeuts  at  that  time  in  the 
8p.ice  of  four  day.s,  to-day,  when  th^  defenses  to  be 
e.-.tnbllshed  consist  simply  in  digging  intrenchmeuts 
on  a  line  of  hills  of  a  len^h  of  itix  hours'  march,  t*.vo- 
dnys  of  fatigue  duty  furnished  by  the  inhabitants  of 
the  capita!  would  suflice  for  the  complete  execution 
of  these  w«irks  <if  defense. 

1  will  now  say  how  I  tmderstand  the  sacred  duty  of 
each.'one: 

FirKt — There  is  God.  whom  we  mtLst  not  forget. 

S^rond — Those  who  are  frightened  are  traitors. 

Third — War  existing,  let  those  who  do  not  take 
part  in  it  go  away. 

i'ourtA-^We  must  not  use  these  words  :  "There 
are  uo  men."  Why  should  not  there  be  1  Here  I  am  ; 
I  am  a  man.  _  As  for  those  who  are  jealous  of  the 
merit  of  the  others,  they  are  no  men. 

i'ifth — Those  who  will  hear,  either  from  the  for- 
eicners  or  from  the  natives,  that  the  Russians  are. 
for  example,  at  Kirk-KUlHS^,  and  that  they  are  ap- 
proaching Tehataldja — facts  that  ore  not  officially 
known — must  take  this  news  to  the  nearest  Police 
station,  luid  if  the  fact  related  is  recognized  to  be 
true,  thev  must  publish  it,  otherwise  the  man  who 
spreads  this  news  must  be  panished. 

Sijciti — All  the  teleBToms  coming  from  the  theatre 
of  war  mu.st  be  stuck  np  on  the  door  of  the  telegraph 
office. 

A>r«itA — The  Government  must  seize,  wherever  it 
shall  find  them,  all  iuunitions  of  war,  such  as  mus- 
kets, petroleum,  &c..  but  it  must  leave  at  each  mer- 
chant's authorized  to  sell  these  articles  a  sample  of 
each  one  of  them,  in  order  that  it  may  be  shown  to 
the  buyers  who  will  preiient  themselves,  (sic.) 

Ki^hth — It  must  confer  upon  the  Mussulman  In- 
habitants the  care  of  the  pubUc  safety  of  the  capital, 
according  to  an  ancient  custom,  and  send  most  of  the 
pohcemen  to  guard  the  fortifications.

SAFETY  OF  THE  GENERAL  OP  THE  ARMY. 
SpKial  Dirpatch  to  Uie  ync-  York  Tim£$. 

Chicago,  III.,  Aug.  10. — The  dispatches 
which  have  been  received  at  Gen.  Sheridan's 
head-quart^js  the  past  two  days  from  various 
military  sources  in  the  far  western  country  leave 
no  doubt  whatever  that  Joseph,  with  his  band 
of  Nez  Perci5.s,  is  making  his  way  eastward.  It 
is  believed  that  the  intention  of  the  chief  is  to 
make  an  attempt  to  strike  the  head  waters  of 
Tongue  River  through  Yellowstone  Park.  So 
fully  convinced  is  Sheridan  that  this  is  his  in- 
tention that  he  has  sent  orders  to  commanders 
of  posts  iilong  Little  Horn  and  Tongue  Rivers 
to  keep  a  sharp  lookout  for  the  hostiles  and 
give  them  a  warm  reception  if  they  show  them- 
selves. For  this  purpose  troops  in  that 
region  will  be  concentrated.  There  are 
at  the.se  posts  several  himdred  men 
of  the  Twentj-flrst  Infantry,  and  if  it  is 
found  ncces.sarv  to  use  a  larger  force  several 
companies  will  be  taken  from  two  or  three  of 
.the  nearest  northern  forts.  Scouts  have  already 
been  dispatched  in  every  direction  to  gather 
information  of  the  approach  of  the  Nez  Percys. 
In  view  of  this  change  in  the  theatre  of  war 
there  is  no  little  alarm  felt  at  head-quarters 
for  the  safety  of  Gen.  Sherman,'  who 
is  supposed  to  be  at  the  present  mo- 
ment in  the  Yellowstone  Park.  He 
has  only  five  men  with  him  as  an  esiiort.  The 
squad  is  well  armed,  however,  and  might  worry 
Joseph  and  his  band  fearfully  if  the  two  con^ 
mands  should  happen  to  come  together.  Tho 
military  which  has  been  stationed  in  this  city 
the  past  month  are  being  sent  back  to  the  West 
as  rapidly  aa  possible. 


A  NEWPORT  RESIDENCE  ROBBED. 
SpfciaX  Dispatch  to  the  i^e-w-Tork  T%meM. 

Newport,  R.  I,,  Aug,  19. — The  Summer 
residence  of  Rev.  H.  C.  Potter,  of  Grace  Church, 
New-York,  was  entered  by  burglars  last  night 
An  entrance  was  effected  through  the  second 
story  'window.  The  thieves,  finding  it  an

WAsniNGTON,  Sunday,  Aug.  19.  1877. 

When  the  regular  Army  of  the  United 
States  was  reorganized  after  the  Tar,  Con- 
gress provided  that  four  regiments,  Vko  of 
infantry  and  two  of  cavalry,  should  he 
composed  exclusively  of  colored  men.  In  the 
bill  for  the  reduction  of  the  Army,  intro- 
duce<l  by  Mr.  Banning  of  Ohio,  two  years  ago, 
a  section  repealing  thi9  provision  was  included. 
This  was  intended  to  absolutelv  prohibit  the 
enlistment  of  colored  troops.  Sir.  Bnnning's 
bill,  including  the  clause  referred  to,  pasfied  the 
lower  house  and  was  referred  to  the  Senate, 
where  Gen.  Logan,  Chairman  of  the  5Iilitary 
Committee,  quietly  bnried  it.  In  lien  of  the 
proposed  enactment,  however,  Congress  ordered 
the  appointment  of  a  commission  to  ascertain 
and  report  the  best  possible  plan-of  reorganiza- 
tion. Don  Cameron — who  was  then  Secretary 
of  ,War — Gen.  Sherman,  Senators  West  and 
Cockerel!  and  Representatives  Banning  and 
Hurlburt  were  selected  to  act  as  Commissioners. 
They  met  frequently,  and  heard  a  number  of 
Army  officers  and  others  upon  the  general 
stibject  of  reorganization,  but  being  ahnost 
unanirooQs  in  their  opposition  to  any  plan  which 
did  not  increase  -the  service  numerically,  they 
did  nothing  and  reported  their  failure  to  Con- 
gress. During  their  session,  however,  the  four 
colored  regiments  to  which  I  have  referred 
were  brought  prominently  to  their  notice,  and 
it  was  argucil  by  many  persons  that  they 
should  bo  at  once  disbanded,  and  colored 
men  enlisted  in  any  of  the  regiments 
and  all  branches  of  the  military  service. 
^Tiat  has  been  called  the  anomaly  of  the  exist- 
ence of  these  exclusively  colored  organizations 
is  just  now  being  again  brought  to  the  atten- 
tion of  the  National  Administration.  The  Pres- 
ident and  Secretary  McCrarv  have  recently  re- 
ceived numerous  letters  regarding  the  niatt*;r. 
and  are  raakiuf?  ita  study,  with  a  view  to  pre- 
senting it  to  Congress  for  action.  The  persons 
principally  enga^red  in  agitating  this  subject  are 
the  white  officers  of  the  four  regiments  men- 
tioned, who  are  at  many  disadvantages  in  the 
per\'ice  from  their  connection  with  them.  For 
tho  reason  that  colored  men  are  less  susceptible 
to  the  evil  effects  of  extreme  heat,  these  regi- 
ments have  been  continually  kept  on  duty  along 
the  Rio  Grande  Hiver,  froni  the  Gulf  of  Mexico 
to  the  Pacitic  Ocean,  while  other  regiments  have 
been  transferred  from  one  post  to  another  at 
intervaU  of  two  or  three  years,  and  thus  have 
been  able  to  enjoy  during  at  least  a  portion  of 
their  time  the  comforts  and  conveniences  of 
ci  vilizution.  The  officers  of  the  Niutn  and 
Tenth  Cavalry  and  Twenty-third  and  Twenty- 
fourth  Infantry,  on  the  other  hand,  have  beeu 
esihtl  for  1 1  years  without  change  at  the 
mo.st  disagreeable  and  unhealthy  posts  in  the 
United  Slates,  and  can  look  forward  to  nothing 
but  perp<itiial  banishment  from  the  advantages 
of  cinlization  and  cooler  climates.  Their  fam- 
ilies are  debarred  from  the  usual  privileges  of 
education,  and  are  kept  in  a  constant  condition 
of  debilitation  in  health  from  the  evil  influences 
of  the  cliuiaie.  Many  good  ofiftcers  have  been 
compelled  to  resign  for  these  reasons.  The 
officers  who  aro  interested  in  the  matter  say 
that  the  negroes  make  as  good  soldiers  as  white 
men.  and  are  more  easily  disciplined  than  the 
human  driftwood  that  finds  a  haven  in  the 
Army.  Further,  they  say  that  they  have  no  ob- 
jection to  commandiniT  negro  companies  if  they 
can  be  assigned  to  duty  as  the  officers  of  other 
regiments  are. 

JLn  a  communication  to  the  Army  Commission 
last  Fall,  this  and  other  complaints  were  made, 
and  the  reasons  for  a  change  in  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  Army  in  this  particular  set  forth 
fully.  These  reasons  are  now  being  repeated 
to  the  President  and  Secretary  McCrary,  and 
they  are  adked  to  call  the  attention  of  Congress 
to  the  matter.  The  officers  who  are  agitating 
the  matter  do  not  desire  the  prohibition  of  col- 
ored men  from  the  Army  ;  on  the  contrary,  they 
encourage  their  enlistnient,  but  ask  that  they 
may  be  distributed  equally  throughout  the  ser- 
vice and  not  be  confined  to  four  regiments. 
They  claim  that  the  spirit  of  the  Civil  Rights 
bill  13  violated  in  m&king  a  distinction  in  the 
Army  on  account  of  race  and  color,  justas  much 
as  it  would  be  if  in  the  Treasury  Department  or 
in  any  other  of  the  executive  branches  of  the 
government  colored  people  were  all  confined  to 
one  class  or  division  and  admitted  to  no  other.. 
There  is  no  existing  law  prohibiting  the  assign- 
ment of  colored  recruits  to  any  regiment  in  the 
service,  but  it  has  always  been  the  practice  to 
assign  them  to  the  four  regiments  alluded  to. 
The  experiment  of  a  mixture  of  races  ha.«?  been 
tried  in  the  Army,  it  is  said,  ^th  success,  in 
numerous  cases  where  companies  of  white 
troops  have  been  or^nized  in  battalions  with 
cx)lored  companies.  In  the  Navy  no  distinction 
is  made,*bnd  the  same  is  the  ease  in  the  Marine 
Corps.  It  is  a  common  experience  to  see  one- 
third  of  the  seamen  and  marines  on  board  ves- 
sels of  war  with  black  faces,  and  naval  officers 
make  no  complaint.  During  the  recent  strike 
when  seamen  and  marines  were  ordered  out  to 
suppress  riots  many  colored  men  were  in  the 
ranks.  It  is  believed  that  the  whole  subject  of 
the  enlistmeut  of  colored  men  in  the  regular 
Army  will  be  exhaustively  referred  to  by  Presi- 
dent Haves  in  his  annual  Message  to  Congress,

Washington,  Aug.  19. — The  official 
statement  prepared  at  the  War  Department 
showing  the  disposition  of  the  Army  of  the 
United  States  on  Saturday,  Aug.  17,  differs 
widely  from  any  .statement  of  that  character  is 
sued  for  several  years  past.  Instead  of  14  com- 
panies of  artillery,  and  one  regiment  and  nine 
companies  of  infantry  in  the  Department  of  the 
South,  as  was  the  case  a  few  months  ago,  there 
are  now  only  six  companies  of  artillery  and  two 
companies  of  infantry  in  that  department,  which 
is  composed  of  the  States  of  North  and  South 
Carolina,  Georgia.  Florida,  and  so  much  of 
Kentucky  and  Tennessee  as  lies. east  of  the 
Tennessee  River.  It  is  under  the  command  of 
Brevet  Brig. -Gen.  J.  H.  Ruger,  whose  head- 
quarters are  at  Atlanta,  Ga.  Instead  of  three 
regiments  of  infantry  in  the  Department  of  the 
Gulf,  as  was  the  case  in  March  last,  there  are 
now  only  two  companies  of  infantry  in  that 
department,  which  is  composed  of  the  States  of 
Louisiana,  Arkansas,  Missisfdppi,  Alabama,  and 
the  parts  of  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  lying  west 
of  the  Tennessee  River.  The  commanding  officer 
is.  Brig. -Gen.  C.  C  Augur,  whose  head-quarters

of  Columbia,  there  are  three  regiments  and  seven 
companies  of  artillety,  and  two  regiments  and 
sixteen  companies  of  infantryFc  Most  of  these 
troops  are  located  in  Pennsylvania  and  Mary- 
land, very  few  being  in  New-England.  The 
force  in  these  States  has  been  increased  during 
the  past  few  weeks  to  the  extent  of  more  than  a 
reg^Lmentof  art  ill  err,  and  two  full  regiments  and 
elm'en  companies  or  infantry.  The  States  above 
named,  together  with  the  Departments  of  the 
G^lf  and  the  South,  constitute  the  Military

yOTES  FEOM  THE  CATITAZ. 


Washington.  Aug.  19,  1877. 

Since  the  adjournment  of  Congress  es- 
sential changes  Imve  been  made  in  the  means  of 
heating  and  affording  purer  air  than  heretoforp 
to  the  two  legislative  chambers. 

Prof.  Hall,  of  the  Umt*fd^  Staies  Xava: 
ObKervatory,  Washington,  discoevered  satellites 
of  the  planet  Mars  on  the  IGth  inst.  The  ap- 
parent distances  are  from  20  to  90  seconds  of 
the  arc,  and  the  satellites  seem. to  be  near  lh«i 
equator  of  Mars. 

WTien  the  disorders  growing  out  of  the 
railroad  strikes  commenced  a  few  weeks  nxo, 
the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  had  the  monitors  Le- 
high at  Norfolk,  Passaic  at  Washington,  and 
Nahant  at  League  Island.  Pennsylvania,  pre- 
pared for  immediate  service,  and  officers  worft 
ordered  to  them  with  competent  cre^vs  to  mov« 
the  vessels  to  any  point  where  they  miirht  l>e 
needed.  Now  that  quiet  has  been  restored  it  i,-* 
not  deemed  necessary  to  keep  the  full  comple- 
ment of  officers  and  men  on  these  vessels,  and 
orders  have  therefore  been  issued  detaching 
them.  The  crews  will  be  assigned  to  otiier  ves- 
sels, and  the  officers  placed  un  waiting  orders 
for  the  present.  A  small  number  of  men  aud 
one  or  two  officers  will  be  left  in  charge  of  each 
monitor,  merely  to  keep  tho  vessel  in  order  and 
ready  for  service  in  case  of  necessity. 

United  States  District  Attorney  Oeorge 
M.  Duskin,  of  the  Southern  District  of  Ala- 
bama.  is  here  for  the  pur]K>se  of  attempting  to 
prevent  a  further  destruction  of  the  monitor 
Tecumseh.  stmk  in  Mobile  Harbor  in  18(14. 
when  Farragut  captured  tin*  forts.  1 1 
is  understood  that  a  wrecking  comjT'auy 
purchased  the  monitor  some  time  ago  trom 
i>ecretary  Richardson,  aud,  notwithstandinj: 
the  fact  that  200  men  are  entoml>ed  therein. 
were  preparing  to  blow  her  up  for  the  purjio.se 
of  preserving  the  old  iron  beloni^ng  to  the 
vessel.  The  facts  iu  this  case  are  that  .A.ttorney 
Duskin,  after  the  sale  of  the  Tecumseh, 
filed  a  bill  in  the  Circuit  Court  of 
the  X'nited  States  to  prevent  the  Bell  Boat 
Wrecking  Company  from  blowing  up  the  sunken 
vessel,  and  the  court  decided  in  favor  of  the  bill 
filed.  It  is  understot>d  that  the  company  havt 
appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Unit*^ 
States,  and  the  Ehstrict  Attorney  will  ondeavoi 
to  defeat  their  further  action  in  the  case.

of  desperadoes.  He  has  a  brother  in  Sing  Sin^ 
for  throwing  pepper  in  a  bank  caehier" s  eyes 
and  robbing  him.  Correspondence  in  hii 
possession  shows  his  connection  with  bad  char- 
.acters  in  New- York,  NewJ'ersey.  Providen-^e, 
and  elsewhere.  He  answers  fully  to  the  descrip* 
tion  of  a^ horse-thief  who  is  wanted  in  Korto.

HONWIDE  yEAM  ALBANY. 
Albany,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  19. — This  afternoon 
a  party  of  young  men  visited  the  meadows  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  Ten  Eyck  mansion,  on  the 
Whitehall  road,  for  the  purpose  of  playing  a 
game  of  base-balL  Shortly  after  their  arrival 
Cuyler  Ten  Eyck,  one  of  the  occupants  of  the 
mansion,  appeared  upon  the  ground  and  ordered 
the  players  to  leave.  After  some  words  betwi^n 
Ten  E3'ck  and  one  of  the  palyers,  named  Joseph 
Thornton,  the  former  drew  a  revolver  and  fired. 
The  buUet  struck  Thornton  upon  the  back  of 
the  head,  near  the  top  of  the  left  ear,  and  passed 
forward  into  the  brain.  The  wounded  man  was 
removed  to  his  home.  No.  32  Jefferson-street, 
where  Dr.  Boulware  attended  him  and  probed 
unsuccessfully  for  the  bullet.  The  wound  ia 
pronounced  fatal.  Ten  Evck,  who  was  formerly- 
City  Marshal,  is  said  to  have  been  intoxicated' 
at  the  time  of  the  tragedy.  He  was  arrested  by 
Officer  Curtain,  and  locked  np  in  the  Second 
Precinct  Station-house.

to  marry  a  Chriatlao,  and  to  tHaw  his  wife  to 
practice  ^er  own  religion  and  to  aeeompa&y 
him  in  pubHe — as,  for  instance,  to-day — ^with- 
out concealing  her  face  with  the  ytuAmoi. 
}Ime.  Nedjib  was  the  only  lady  who 
followed  her  hnsbanil  to  camp,  and 
she  is  only  now  leaving  for  Constantinople 
lest  railway  commonlcatlon  with  Vaarna  should 
be  cut  off  by  the  enemy,  when  she  woold,  per- 
haps, be  only  embarrassing  fo  her  hnaband.  It  is 
probable  that  her  presence  here  haa  already  been 
the  means  of  hindering  her  husband  from  being 
sent  to  the  front,  as  it  reminded  the  old  Serdar 
Bkrem  that  Nedjib  had  married  a  glsonr^uid 
has  acquired  the  taste.%  feelings,  and  habits  of 
thought  ot  'Westem  nations.  So,  when  the 
great  movement  of  troops  took  place  here  three 
weeks  ago,  the  Commander-in-Chief  instead  of 
sending  Nedjib  Pasha's  divisioo  to  the  front, 
sent  forward  the  Second  and  Third  Divisions. 
Nedjib  Pa.sha  on  arriving  at  the  station  was 
amazed  to  hear  of  the  expected,  arrival 
of  Mehemet  Ali  Pasha,  but  when  I  ar- 
rived and,  in  answer  t»  his  inqniries 
for  Constantinople  news,  told  htm  that  Abdnl 
Kerim  was  dismissed,  he  was  dumb  wltii  aston- 
ishment, and  seemed  ineredolom  until  a  tde- 
gram  was  received  by  the  station-master  to 
keep  the  special  train  which  would  bring  Mo- 
hemet  Ali  Pasha  here  in  readiness  to  eonvey 
Abdnl  Kerim  and  Bedif  Paeha  to  TamA.  About 
5  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  the  special  train  came 
in  ot  fiiH  speed,  and  the  moment  It  stopped 
Mebemet  All  Pasha  alighted,  and  was  affection- 
ately received  by  Nedjib  Pasha,  who  was  his 
school-fcUow.  They  walked  hand  In  hand — a 
fraternal  custom  here — ^to  the  station-master's 
iionse  on  the  platform,  where  Mehemet  Ali  was 
greeted  by  Mme.  Nedjib.  The  new  commander 
was  accompanied  by  Reschid  Paaha.  (Gen. 
Strecker.)  an  aide-de-camp  from  the  Sultan's 
Palace,  and  some  attendants.  No  precautions 
had  been  taken  to  hare  a  sufficient  number  of 
carriages  in  readiness  to  oonvey  the  new  ar- 
rivals to  the  camp — distant  an  hour  and  a  half 
from  the  station — so  that  what  were  there  were 
immediately  requisitioned,  including  those  al- 
ready encaged  by  private  individuals,  and  I  and 
others  had  to  travel  in  Turkish  arabas,  drawn 
by  very  sorry  horses. 

It  is  the  "lirst  time  I  ever  had  to  mount  thia 
description  of  arabs.  and  I  confess  I  was  some- 
what puzzled  to  find  out  how  I  could  get  in 
Tvirhout  damaging  myself  or  the  carriage.  The 
aral>a  is  like  a  closed  waggonette  wilhonta  door. 
There  is  an  aperture  on  each  side,  about  18 
iRchp.i  squ.ire,  and  the  bottom  of  it  is  up  to  one's 
armpits.  A  clown  in  a  pantomime  might  dive 
clean  into  it,  but  what  would  happen  subsequent- 
ly would  hardly  be  pleasant.  If  you  plunge  in 
with  ^o  preat  an  impetus  yott  pop  out  through 
the  opposite  window  ;  and  if  the  forward  move- 
ment l.e  too  little  accelerated,  you  fall  back  off 
thp  step,  bumping  your  head  against  the  top  of 
tb"  aiwrture.  The  only  way  to  get  in  is  by  an 
indesirribable  and.  I  am  sure,  most  ungraceful 
wrigtrle,  'ft'hich  ends  in  curling  one's  self  round 
like  a  doa:  in  his  kenneL  The  floor  of  this 
curious  vehicle  is  covered  with  hay,  over 
which  is  laid  some  very  dirty  sacking.  The 
•ft-iudows  at  the  side  and  back  are  protected  by  a 
strong  lath,  which  is  the  only  cushion  one  has 
to  lean  osainst.  The  roof  azh^  upper  pai^  of  the 
sities  display  an  attempt  at  .Itixury,  being  cov- 
ered vriih  uiaroon  cloth  (now  filthy  an<i  in  tat- 
ters) studded  with  porceLiin  buttons,  and  the 
wooden  jiart  of  the  carriage  appears  to  have 
been  at  one  time  gay  with  blue  paint  picked 
out  with  white.  The  arabadji  (coachman)  is  of 
a  piec«  with  his  carriage — unshaven,  dirty,  and 
deTepit.  He  has  a  humped  back,  probably  ac- 
(|uireil  bv  having  to  sit  in  an  aperttu«  similar 
to  those  "I  have  described,  leanirig  forward  In  a 
Kvcophantic  posture,  lest  he  should  bump  his 
head  as  the  crazy  vehicle  jolts  over  the  ruts  and 
stone-^. 

H.ilf-way  to  Shumla  is  a  well  where  the 
horses  are  watered,  and  opposite  this  is  a 
bam  wiiere  mndy  coffee  and  execrable  wine 
may  be  had.  The  cortege  halted  here,  and  the 
adc-de-camp  accompanying  ilehemet  Ali  Pasha 
rode  ahead  to  the  ramp  to  hand  to  Abdul-Kerim 
and  Keilif  Pasha  the  documents  informing  them 
that  their  glory  had  departed.  Up  to  that  mo- 
ment they  had  been  kept  in  ignorance  of  their 
sudden  downfalL  Two  hours  later — at  9  o'clock 
at  night — Ahdul-Kerim  Pasha  and  Redif  Pasha 
left  the  camp  and  drove  to  the  station.  Abdul- 
Kerim.  as  u.-nial,  went  into  the  station-master's 
house,  and  took  up  his  old  seat  on  the  comer  of 
the  divon.  The  Lite  Minister  of  War,  however, 
remained  on  the  line  until  the  train  came  up, 
when  he  immediately  jumped  into  the  carriage. 
The  late  Commander-in-CiSief  got  into  the  same 
carriage  and  the  train  moved  away  with  the  dis- 
tinguished passengers,  who  kept  a:  moody  si- 
lence. If  tiiey  spoke,  it  is  probable  they  would 
only  indulge  in  mutual  recriminations,  aa  either 
may  have  reason  to  think  that  the  other's  faults 
WHre  the  cause  of  their  muttial  disgrace.

■Turkey  and  civil  power  over  the  military  zone 
on  thia  side  of  the  Black  Sea  was  read  to-day  in 
presence  of  the  troops.  Mehemet  Ali  then  made 
a  short  jnd  energetic  speech  to  the  effect  that 
he  expected  every  man  to  be  ready,  as  he  him- 
self was,  to  sacrifice  his  life  for  his  country ;

SHUSTLiC,  Monday.  July- 23,  1877.  ' 
This  afternoon  all  the  correspondents  at 
present  in  Shumla,  to  the  number  of  15,  repre- 
senting American,  English,  French,   German, 
and  Italian  newspaper^  waited  on  Mehemet  Ali 
Pasha  in  his  tent  at  t6e  camp.  .  We  found  the 
Commander-in-Chief    seated    on    a  sofa    with 
Namyk  Pasha  by  his  side.    As  Tewflk  Bey, 
Director  of  the  Political  Department,  who  waa 
to  have  presented  us.  had  not  yet  made  his  ap- 
pearance, we  each  presented   onrselvea.    Me- 
hemet  Ali     and    Namyk     Pasha    both     rose 
on    our    entering    the    tent    and   received   us 
cordially.      Mehemet  Ali   addressed   the   Ger- 
man correspondents  in  the  German  labgoage 
and  the  others  In  French,  both  of  which  lan- 
guages his  Excellency  speaks  fluently.     He  said 
that  the  war  had  hardly  yet  commenced  In  earn-

which  render    correspondence    almost   impos-

teresting  episodes  of  his  esmpalgn  in  Mont«- 
negro,  to  show  us  how  the  work  of  the  Turkish 
Army  had  been  misrepresented  by  certaili  Ger- 
man papers. 

The  personal  appearance  of  the  asw  6bm- 
monder-in-Chief  is  very  prepossesring.  He  is 
of  middle  height,  and  neither  stout  nor  thin. 
His  movements  are  quick,  and  his  step  elastic. 
He  is,  as  fads  wppearanee  scarcely  indicates.  50 
years  of  age.  He  wears  a  stubby,  reddish-grey 
beard  and  mustache,  and  the  hard  lines  on  his 
face — ^which,  however,  has  an  agreeable  smile 
when  he  speaks— betoken  constant  work. 
Though  a  Mussulman,  Mehemet  All  is  a  Prus- 
sian of  Franch  extraction.  His  family  name  is 
Detroit-  His  forefathers  emigrated  from  Prance 
to  Germany  on  the  revocation  of  the  edict  of 
Nantes,  that  is  to  say,  he  is  of  a  Protestant 
family.  He  came  to  'Torkey  at  the  age  of  15, 
and  waa  taken  under  the  patronage  of  Ali 
Pasha,  (ths  famous  Grand  Vizier,)  who  saw  to 
his  education  and  advancement  in  the  Army. 
Mehemet  Ali  distinguished  himself  in  several 
campaigns,  notably  in  the  Crimea  and  Mon- 
tenegro. 

The  narrative  of  the  way  In  which  he  was 
brought  here  as  commander  fe  rather  interest- 
ing, as  illustrative  of  the  way  things  are  ordered 
in  "Turkey.  He  was  at  Sophia  with  his  division, 
when  he  received  a  peremptory  order  from  the 
Sultan  to  leave  immediately  for  the  capital,  not 
to  wait  for  l>ag  or  baggage,  as  a  special  train 
was  waiting  for  him  at  Sareml>ey  Station.  He 
revolved  in  his  mind  all  that  he  had  done  to  see 
if  he  could  discover  anything  by  which  he  had 
Incurred  his  Majesty's  displeasure,  but  in  vain. 
His  self-examination  was  reassuring,  but  still 
who  could  tell !  There  might  be  some  intrigue 
at  work,  and .  he  might  be  the  victim 
of  it.  In  this  state  of  mind  he  traveled 
<m  until,  at  Adrianople,  he  saw  the  Governor- 
General  and  functionaries  a.ssembled  on  the 
platform  to  salute  him.  This  did  not  look  like 
disgrace,  and,  somewhat  more  tranquil  in  his 
mind,  he  proceeded  express  to  the  capital.  At 
the  terminus,  to  his  great  astonishments  he 
found  the  Grand  Vizier  and  Ministers  waiting 
to  receive  him.  The  Grand  Vizier  insisted  on 
Mehemet  Ali  getting  into  the  carriage  before 
him — a  very  high  honor  for  any  Turk  in  an  offi- 
cial capacity— and  they  drove  at  once  to  the 
Palace.  All  the  way,  however,  (more  than  half 
'an  hour's  drive,)  the  Grand  Vizier  refrained 
from  alluding  to  the  object  of  Mehemet  Pasha's 
recall  from  ^phia,  and  Mehemet  Ali  arrived  at 
the  Palace  just  as  ignorant  on  that  point  as  he 
was  when  he  started  from  Sonhia.  At  the 
Palace  there  was  another  grand ,  reception, 
and  all  doubt  as  to  whether  he  was  in 
favor  or  disgrace  was  removed  when  on  being 
presented  to  the  Sultan  hia  Majesty  advanced, 
grasped  him  by  the  hand,  and  told  him  that  he 
alone  had  his  entire  confidence  as  being  fully 
capable  of  directing  the  war  in  Roumelian  Tur^ 
key.  The  Sultan  added  that  a  special  steamer 
was  waiting  to  take  Mehemet  Ali  to  Varna,  and 
that  he  need  not  troubie^imself  aiK>ut  horses^ 
or  anything,  as  everything  had  been  provided 
for  him.  By  his  Majesty's  permission  Mehemet 
AH  went  home,  embraced  his  family,  and  imme- 
diately went  on  board,  where  he  found  two 
splendid  horses,  one  richlv  caparisoned  for  gala 
days.^and  was  presented  by  an  aide-dchcamp  of 
the  Sultan  with  a  sword  which  had  been  worn 
by  his  Majesty,  and  with  a  purse  of  $2,.">00  to 
cover  his  traveling  expenses.  The  person  from 
whom  I  obtain  these  de,tail.s-;-«  private  friend  of 
Mehemet  Ali — assures  me  th'at  the  Commander- 
in-Chief  wai  deeply  affected  by  the  tUoughtful 
consideration  with  which  the  Sultan  had  treated 
him,  and  that  be  is  resolved  to  die  if  he  fails  to 
be  victorious.

RATIONS    FOB    A  CAPTAIN — AN   ENGLISH- 
MAN CACGHT  SERVING  AS  A  KCSSUN  SPY. 
One  of  our  correspondents  with  the  Turk>. 
ish  Army  in  Bulgaria  writes  us  from  Varna  as 
follows : 

The  Egyptian  troops  are  universally  admired 
for  their  cleanness,  neatness,  and  perfect  equip- 
ment and  drill.  Thev  do  credit  to  the  American 
ofBcers  in  Cairo  who  liave  been  employed  since 
the  close  of  the  civil  war  in  reorganizing  the 
Egyptian  Army.  Foreigners  here  are  rejoiced 
to  see  this  practical  proof  of  the  advantage 
accruing  to  Eastern  Governments  by  the  em- 
ployment of  Westerns,  and  more  especially  as 
Kedif  Pasha,  the  late  Minister  of  War,  has  not 
only  persistently  refused  to  accept  any  more 
foreigners  in  the  Turkish  military  service,  but 
has  kept  in  the  backgroimd  the  few  who  had 
already  been  for  some  years  in  the  Army.  The 
same  remark  applies  to  the  Navy.  It  is  sup- 
posed that  now  a  great  scope^will  be  opened  for 
foreign  military  and  naval  men ;  but  I  think 
that  so  long  as  Turkey  ia  fighting  single-banded 
it  would  l^  illusory  for  any  foreigner  to  look 
upon  Turkish  service  as  a  desirable  career.  At 
the  present  moment  there  are  only  three  Eng- 
lish ofBcers  in  the  Turkish  Army,  and  only  one 
ot  these — Coi  Eorthwick,  brother  of  the  pro- 
prietor of  the  Morning  PoM — has  a  commission. 
He  has  been  in  the  Turkish  service  some  14 
years.  His  comrades,  Hon.  Capt.  Drummond  and 
Capt.  Prime,  only  entered  tne  other  day,  and 
on  the  contUtlon  that  they  only  receive  the  grade 
of  Captain  during  the  campaign,  after  which  the 
Government  will  consider  whether  their 
servicea  will  be  further  required.  When 
I  add  that  the  pay  of  a  Captain 
is  now  (owing  to  its  being  made  in  paper 
money)  only  about  !!>]0  a. month,  including  ra- 
tions, it  will  be  seen  that  the  prospect  of  a  ca- 
reer in  the  Turkish  Army  is  W  no  means  se- 
ductive. It  may  be  that  Redif  Pasha  in  re- 
fusing foreign  aid  was  actuated  by  both  eco- 
nomical and  political  motives.  To  get  tried 
,  men  good  pay  must  be  given,  and  that  might 
excite  the  jealousy  of  the  Turkish  oflScers.  Bo- 
sides,  it  is  difficult  to  persuade  the  Turks  that 
an  officer  fresh  from  England  or  America,  who 
cannot  speak  a  word  of  Turkish,  could  com- 
mand his  men  satisfactorily.  The  political  rea- 
son is  that  the  Torks  want  to  force  England's 
hand.  They  say  that  if  they  accept  the  aid  of 
a  few  English  officers  Turkish  successes  might 
be  ascribed  to  these  few  Englishmen.  If  Eng- 
land is  to  have  any  credit  in  the  war,  she  must 
help  'Turkey  witli  a  high  hand. 

1110  English  Consul  at  Eustchuk,  Mr.  Beade, 
who,  since  the  destruction  of  his  house  by  Rus- 
sian shells,  has  a  roving  commission  to  look 
after  atrocities  committed  on  one  side  or  the 
other,  left  here  yesterday  for  Shumla,  to  be 
present  at  the  trial,  by  court  martial,  of  an 
Englishman  named  Cooke.  Thia  man  flourished 
about  Constantinople  for  some  months  in  vari- 
ous uniforms  of  different  grades,  from  Captain 
to  Lieutenant-Colonel,  and  finally  he  came  out 
here,  and,  after  making  himself  notorious  by  his 
forgetfulness  to  settle  his  hotel  bills,  was  ar- 
rested as  a  Russian  spv.  Plans  of  fortifications 
as  they  now  are  were  found  upon  him,  and  were 
it  not  that  he  is  regarded  as  a  half-witted  vaga- 
bond, he  would  probably  suffer  the  full  penalty 
inflicted  on  a  spy.  The  trial  yesterday  was  only 
preliminary.  It  is  not  expected  thit  the  pris- 
oner will  be  shot,  but  Englishmen  out  here  hope 
that  he  will  be  treated  with  justice,  untempered 
by  any  consideration  for  the  nation  which  has 
the  mmortune  to  be  obliged  to  own  him.

TBE  ZEIBECS  OF  TBE  TUXKIsa  AltiTT. 

A  war  correspondent  in  Bulgaria  writes : 
"The place  was  soon  crowded  with  Zelbecs,  and  a 
very  picturesque  scene  they  made,  as  they  all  wore 
their  national  costume.  They  squatted  down  in 
groups,  some  singing,  some  playing  a  sort  of  small 
guitar  with  three  wire  stxings,  while  one  man  per. 
formed  a  mo.it  wonderful  dance  that  lasted  for  more 
than  half  an  hour.  He  executed  some  astoondiDg 
jumps  and  hops,  fiioging  his  arms  about  like  a  wiud- 
mlU  in  fall  awing ;  he  then  drew  his  yataghan  and 
began  performing  a  series  of  savage  cuts  m  the  air, 
daucing  all  the  time.  It  was  grand  to  see  the  fellow's 
face — at  every  cut  his  eyes  rolled  about  fearfuUf, 
and  it  seemed  as  if  he  were  really  hacking  away  at 
the  hated  Moscov.  This  little  scene  over  he  bor-  • 
rowed  anotheryataghan,  and  sticking  this  aiid  his  own 
between  his  belt  and  the  shirt,  with  the  sharp  edge 
upwurd,  the  dandag  began  again,  and  bis  arms 
went  round  once  more.  It  requires  a  very 
skilful  dancer  to  be  able  to  move  about  his 
arms  as  this  man  did,  for  hod  he  made  a 
mistake  he  wonld  most  assuredly  have  got  several 
bad  cnts.  Many  of  his  companions  were  squatting 
Tound,  watching  the  whole  proceeding  with  the  ut- 
most gravity,  and  when  the  performer  sat  down  no 
one  said  anything,  as  if  the  affair  was  a  matter  of 
course.  I  entered  into  eouversation  with  several  of 
the  meiij»nd  foond  them  very  pleasant  fellows  in- 
deed.  Thev  all  seemed  eager  to  meet  the 
Russians.  0?heir  physique  is  simply  splendid, 
many  of  them  being  over  six  feet, 
with  enormously  broad  chests.  If  they 
were  properly  drilled  and  officered  they  wonld  be  ir- 
resistible. One  old  fellow,  who  wore  a  Crimean 
medal,  was  telling  me  how  he  bad  been  a  Bashi- 
Bazouk  with  the  'Inglia.'  'Ah!  effendi'  said  he, 
'  those  were  fine  times  ;  plenty  to  eat  and  drink,  well 
treated  by  our  oflBcers,  and  we  got  our  pay  regularly. 
■Won't  the  "  Ingliz  "  come  again  V  I  have  found  that 
most  of  the  soldiers  with  whom  1  have  spoken  at 
different  times  have  the  same  idea  about  the  En^Uh.

Baoineezs-de-Litorov,     \ 
Monday,  Aug.  6,  1877.  ? 

I  closed  my  last  letter  ■with  the  general 
complaint  here  against  the  high  prices  that  pre- 
vail in  the  hotels,  and  it  is  the  first  thing  a 
stranger  hears  on  arriving.  There  is  a  general 
lamentation  and,  I  may  say,  feeling  of  disgust. 
Tet  the  prices  on  the  placards  seem  to  be  fair 
enongfa  at  first  glance.  Somehow  or  other, 
however,  the  landlords  manage  to  make  up  a 
bill  that  is  exorbitant,  and  on  the  advice  of  a 
friend  I  determined  to  pay  each  day.  The  re- 
sult was  that  I  changed  my  hotel  after  the  first 
24  hours ;  changed  again  after  48  hours ; 
then  fell  upon  another  quite  as  costly, 
though  the  comforts  were  relatively 
greater.  The  servants  in  these  hotels 
are  not  paid,  and  they  have  to  get  their 
salaries  from  the  travelers.  Hence,  there  is  a 
constant  demand  for  money,  although  "  ser- 
■vlce "  is  charged  for  roundly  In  the  bill,  and 
candles  put  down  at  $1  each.  ■When  one  com- 
plains, the  response  is  that  this  la  the  custom  of 
the  place,  and  if  the  traveler  does  not  like  it  he 
ha^  better-  stay  at  home.  That  is  just  what 
many  of  them  iriU  do  another  year,  and  they 
wUl  greatly  curtail  their  visits  this  year ;  hut, 
after  all,  there  is  no  great  difference  between 
the  cost  of  living' here  and  In  other  watering- 
places.  The  fact  la  that  all  of  them  are  ex- 
orbitant, and  yet  the  landlords  complain  bitterly 
because  they  have  so  few  people.  Biarritz  and 
Tronville  have  both  become  exceedingly  costly 
plaees,  and  for  a  season  in  either  one  has  to  pay 
quite  as  much  as  at  Newport  or  Saratoga. 

Lnchon  by  day  is  very  different  from  Luchou 
by  night,  and  I  was  agreeably  surprised  by  the 
flrst  view  that  I  had  in  the  niomihg.  Begin- 
ning at  the  old  town,  a  long  avenue,  shaded  by 
gigantic  trees,  runs  up  to  the  Establishment, 
and  hadk  of  it  a  mountain  rises  abruptly  to  a 
great  height.  It  is  heavily  wooded,  and  ser- 
pentine paths  lead  up  to  the  little  ch&lets 
nestled  in  among  the  trses.  In  front  of  the 
Thermal  Establishment  there  is  a  square  called 
the  Quinconces,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  a 
stand  for  tlie  band  of  music  which  plays  every 
afternoon  and  evening.  Here  the  bathers  con- 
gregate, and  crowds  ot  them  are  seated  beneath 
the  trees,  conversing  in  groups,  while  listening 
to  the  strains  of  an  excellent  band. 

A.x  at  most  watering-places,  people  rise  early 
at  Luchon,  and  between  5  and  0  in  the  morn- 
ing numerous  bathers  are  seen  piaking  their 
way  to  the  Establishment  for  their  bath,  or  walk- 
ing up  the  hill  to  get  their  cup  of  warm  sulphur- 
ous water.  The  formenacan  either  take  a  douche 
of  tepid  water  or  enter  the  piscina  for  a  swim. 
I  chose  the  latter,  and  every  morning  sported 
for  an  hour  in  water  that  was  extremely  agree- 
able. But"  the  water  of  Luchon  is  better  for 
bathing  purposes  than  for  drinking,  for  it  is 
very  warm  and  baa  a  disagreeable  taste.  I  tried 
one  gla.ss  ot  number  two,  and  had  no  de.«ire  for 
more.  Number  one  is  stronger  and  nastier,  e^ven, 
but  it  is  only  givon  to  persons  who  bring  the 
prescription  of  a  doctor.  The  water  comes  out 
of  the  base  of  a  mountain  in  three  different  di- 
rections, united  at  the  fountain,  covered  in  by  a 
sort  of  rustic  cottage,  and  running  out  by  three 
pipes,  ntunbered  one,  two,  and  three.  It  is  gen- 
erally taken  with  syrups  of  some  sort  prescribed 
by  the  doctors,  but  when  taken  pure  it  has  an 
extremely  disagreeable  ta-sto.  The  doctors  say 
that  the  baths  are  only  efficacious  when  taken 
between  two  glas-ses  of  water,  and  they  order 
their  patients  to  drink  a  certain  quantity  before 
and  after  bathing. 

Many  people  pretend — and  I  presume  it  mua 
be  true  since  the  doctors  say  it — that  the  advice 
of  a  physician  is  necessary  before  taking  these 
waters,  and  that  there  may  be  danger  in  trust- 
ing to  one's  inclination.  In  order  to  got  what 
we  require  from  the  means  that  nature  has  pro- 
vided so  abundantly  here,  we  must  first  know 
what  we  want,  that  is,  the  nature  of  our  mala- 
dies and  their  remedies.  But  hundreds  go  to 
Luchon  who  have  no  maladies  whatever,  and 
who  simply  desire  to  enjoy  the  fresh  mountain 
air  and  healthful  sunshine  in  tbe  Pyrennean 
vallevs.  Such  persons  cannot  drink  the  min- 
eral waters  with  impunity,  for  they  would  .soon 
get  ill,  or  find  their  stomachs  deranged  and  their 
heads  full  of  pains.  This  shows  that  there  is 
some  strength  in  the  waters  at  least,  and  it 
proves  the  necessity  of  taking  medical  advice 
before  taking  the  waters.  And  we  should 
also  take  good  care  to  consult  some  compe- 
tent person  respecting  the  changes  in  the 
atmosphere  and  the  sort  of  clothing  to 
be  worn.  An  English  physician  has  said  that 
the  habit  of  changing  one's  clothing  with  the 
seasons  had  killed  more  persons  than  gunpow- 
der. We  are  apt  to  change  too  early  in  the  sea- 
son, and  to  neglect  to  change  during  the  seasou, 
but  a  good  safe  plan,  though  an  uncomfortable 
one  at  times,  is  to  never  change  one's  under- 
garments— that  is,  to  never  change  flannel  for 
linen  or  cotton.  Here  there  are  sudden  changes 
ot  temperature ;  high  winds  sweep  through  the 
mountain  passes  quite  unexpectedly,  ^d  after  a 
sweltering  day  a  heavy  storm  may  come  down 
almost  withopt  warning.  Hence,  one  has  to  be 
as  careful  about  changing  clothing  as  about  the 
waters,  and  the  safest  plan  is  to  consult  a  doctor 
wlien  one  arrives  in  feeble  health. 

One  day  we  rode  to  the  PortiUon,  Just  across 
the  Spanish  frontier ;  anotlier  day  we  traversed 
the  "Valine  du  Lys  and  mounted  to  the  Cascade 
d'Enfer.  All  this  wa."!  exercise  of  the  right  sort 
for  a  wearied  brain,  and  after  the  first  three  or 
four  days  my  neuralgia  ceased  and  my  eyesight 
gradually  returned.  Those  who  come  to  Lnchon 
for  serio'us  treatment  are  said  to  find  relief,  but 
the  waters  are  mainly  for  maladies  of  the  skin, 
scrofulous  affections,  for  diseases  resulting  from 
a  vitiated  state  of  the  blood,  and  for  chronic 
maladies  of  various  sorts.  I  put  it  in  this  general 
way  because  I  do  not  fully  understand  the  terms  I 
find  In  the  books,  such  as  exfotei,  phltgmaniea 
ehrdniqites  et  diathisiquet,  iHeirM  et  cicatrice 
cirieiiset,  and  many  more  ot  the  kind. 

The  main  avenue  of  Luchon  bears  the  name 
of  the  All^e  d'Etigny,  magnificently  shaded  by 
grand  old  trees,  and  at  its  further  end  rises  tbe 
Thermal  Establishment,  one  of  the  largest, 
finest,  and  best  provided  of  all  Europe.  The 
portico  is  large  ond  imposing,  constructed  of 
the  white  marble  so  abundant  in  th*  Pyrenees, 
and  the  main  halL  which  is  really  majestic,  is 
ornamented  by  17  frescoes  that  are  admirably 
done.  The  subjects  are  allegoric,  the  delicious 
Vall^  du  Lys  being  represented  as  a  young 
girl  with  golden  hair,  marching  npon  a  carpet 
of  flowers,  the  Port  de  Venasque  as  a  matron 
with  a  severe  face,  holding  in  her  hand  a  bunch 
of  keys.  On  either  side  there  is  a  long  gallery, 
and  npoh  the  two  there  are  numbers  of  auiali 
rooms,  ■with  120  marble  baignoires,  and  two 
large  bathing  pools,  one  for  ladles  and  one  for 
gentlemen,  ifhere  are  also  rooms  fitted  up  for 
douches  of  various  sorts  and  all  the  different 
kinds  o^  baths  found  in  the  hydropathic  re- 
pertory. In  a  word,  the  establishment  is  com- 
plete in  every  particnlar,  and  the  bather  finds 
everything  that  can  be  desired,  with  waters  of 
20  different  sorts,  according  to  his  peculiar  d^ 
mauds.  ^ 

A  CARyrVEBOUS  SOBSE. 
The  Dayton  (Ohio)  Ztemocrat  of  Saturday 
says  :  "Mr.  Ezra  A.  Herrman  owns  a  horse  which 
has  departed  from  the  traditions  of  his  ancestors, 
and  is  camiverotis,  If  not  omniveroos.  The  ■itiinal 
for  tome  time  has  shown'  a  disposition  to  take  fresh 
meat,  and,  when  it  Is  offered  to  him,  -will  devoor  it 
with  apparent  relish.  Ho  will  also  drink  milk  with 
avidity,  and  esteems  a  mouse  or  a  rat  as  quite  a  tid- 
bit.  Yesterday,  Mr.  HeriTnan,  in  handling  some  to. 
bacco-i>oxes,  killed  a  monse.  His  son,  who  was 
present,  oflferod  the  moose  to  the  horse,  and  it  was 
snapped  up,  masticated,  and  swallowed  in  a 
breath.  Ezra  is  somewhat  astonished  over  the 
strange  taste  of  t'^e  horse,  and  is  disposed  to  find 
fault  with  the  animal  because  he  prefers  flesh  to 
grain  and  hay.  The  animal  has  good  feed  of  such  as 
IB  usnally  provided  for  ^T,liwmU  of  the  equine  kind, 
and  he  is  rat  and  sleek."

ALEXAKDEB  DUMAS  AS  A  MORALIST. 


A  NBW  D0TT  TOft  THE  NOVELIfiCT— WHY  BICH 
PEOPLE  ABE  MtSERABLE. 
The  Paris  correspondent  of  a  Ijondon  news- 
paper writes  as  foUoirs:  "M.  Alexander  Domas 
made  his  pnbUe  appearance  to-day  in  a  now  cbarao- 
tep— that  of  a  moralist.  His  fellow  Academicians 
had  deputed  him.to  draw  up  the  aonoal  report  on 
the  Montyon  prizes  for  virtue^  and  there  was  great 
cariosity  as  to  how  he  wonld  acqnlt  himself  of  a 
task  which  seemed  somewhat  incongraons.  Some 
expected  him  to  launch  stactUng  paradoxes,  and 
nobody  supposed  lie  would  adhere  to  the  well- 
rounded  and  conrentioual  periods  of  his  predeces- 
sors. This  curiosity  was,  perhaps,  a  littlo  dlsajv 
pointed.  M.  Dtunas  did  not,  Indeed,  alto- 
gether keep  to  the  beaten  track,  hut  neither  did 
he  widely  diverge  from.it.  The  body  of  his  address 
was  necessarily  a  sketch  of  the  careers  of  the  recip- 
ients of  the  2,000  francs  and  smaller  prizes,  and 
offered  little  scope  for  prielnality,  M.  Dumas,  in- 
deed, threw  in  a  touch  of  his  own  by  speakinir  of  the 
curious  moon  peeping  in  at  the  window  to  see 
who  was  stiU  toilm^  by  lamplight ;  and  a  second 
herorae  being  a  native  of  Metx.  he  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  expre&siog  sympathy  with  those  obliged 
by  imperative  Tea>?ons  to  make  tho  additiouitl 
sacrifice  of  becoming  C^rmans.  '*  The  kingdom  she 
has  long  inhabited  is  no  longer  of  this  world ;  it 
knows  no  limits  or  frontiers,  no  foreigners  or  ene- 
mies, no  victors  or  vanquished  ;  all  who  inhabit  It 
are  the  children  of  one  father,  whose  name  la 
Charity."  Apart  from  these  two  passages.  M. 
Ihiman's  individuality  appeared  only  in  the  prologue 
and  ''pUogue,  and  in  the  rorraer  he  certainly  struck 
a  new  vein.  He  discussed  the  reason  why  rich 
people  are  miserable,  and  came  to  the  conclusion 
that  it  is  because  they  do  not  sufficiently^  devote  their 
wealth  to  making  others  happy.  Chanty  beginning 
at  home,  it  is  so  natural  to  take  him  who  is  nearest 
to  you,  who  promises  to  be  the  most  grateful,  who 
shares  your  sorrows,  tells  you  constantly  of  his  own, 
and  even  exaggerates  them,  implores,  importunes, 
and  harasses  you  till  you  comply  with  his  demands. 
"  We  have  all  within  us  this  unfortunate 
companion,  at  once  weak  and  exacting,  who 
has  habits  which  he  will  not  renounce,  desires  he 
thinks  imperative,  dreams  he  considers  not  unreason- 
ablQ.  He  knowii  ns  so  well,  is  so  tenacious,  so  elo- 
quent, so  wheedling,  this  everlasting  companion, 
that  we  end  by  yielding  to  him,  warning  him  every 
time  not  to  tempt  us  again.  The  fatality  is  that  it  i^ 
always  just  when  we  have  formed  this  wise  resolu- 
tion that  others  trv  to  excite  our  pity  for  their  dis- 
tresses, whereupon,  to  put  promptly  in  practice  our 
brand-new  severity,  we  tell  tnem  they  talk  of 
things  as  familiar  to  us  as  to  them;  that 
we,  too,  have  our  vexations,  and  that  we 
cannot  help  everybody,  after  which  proof 
ofenergy  we  again  become  a  little  more  indulgent  to 
ourselves.  If  we  are  softened  after  all,  we  are  only 
charitable  out  of  our  superfluity,  and  fortune  so 
easily  creates  wants  that  before  long  the  snperflnity 
can  scarcely  suffice  for  the  neresRarr-"  After  sog- 
gestlngthat  the  prize-winners  shoulcf  be  commemo- 
rated by  tablet.s  at  the  Mairies  or  schools  of  their  vU- 
lages — a  questionable  idea,  for  it  may  be  feared  these 
humble  philanthropists  are  already  in  danger  of 
being  spoiled  by  praise  and  prizes-— M.  Ihimas  con- 
cluded by  stating  that  the  study  of  their  lives  had 
done  him  more  good  than  the  finest  treatise  on  phil- 
osophy or  wisdom,  for  genius  did  not  explain  God, 
but  £oodi)es&  proved  Him. 

GEX.  MXVRT  Oy  TXBOiyiA'S  DEBT. 
A  Virginia  newspaper  prints  a  letter  from 
Gen.  Dabney  H.  Maury,  In  which  he  says  :  "  The 
only  issue  before  our  people  is  repudiation,  and  it  is 
not  poR.5ible  Virginians  will  consent  to  that.  Virginia 
stands  this  day  before  all  tho  States  in  energy,  pros- 
perity, progress,  and  moral  power.  She  feels  the 
responsibility  that  rests  upon  her  to  uphold  tho  liigh 
name  which  generations  of  great  men  have  be- 
queathed to  her.  and  she  Trill  never  consent  to  an  act 
which  will  turn  her  back  In  her  high  cAreer  and  make 
every  honorable  son  of  her  soil,  wherever  he  may  be, 
hang  his  head  for  shame  that  he  was  bom  in  her 
borders.  Lookiug  at  the  expediency  alone  of  this 
question  it  is  peculiarly  unjustifiable  and 
inojiportune  at  this  time,  for  never  before 
haa  a  kind  Providence  been  more  generous  to  us. 
From  one  end  of  our  State  Ut  the  otlier  bonntiful 
harvests  have  gladdened  our  hearts  and  filled  our 
gamers,  whllo  the  fast-gathering  storm  of  war  in 
Europe  assures  us  of  high  prices  for  all  we  shall 
have  to  sell.  Now,  then.  Is  the  time  to  annonnt-e 
that  we  will  pay  every  cent  of  this  debt  without 
any  '  scaling  or  '  adjustment, '  or  other  of  thosio 
specious  plains,  which  are  but  shallow  evasions  of 
part  or  all  of  what  we  owe.  The  question  is  a  plain 
one,  which  any  honest  rasu  can  understand.  It  rans 
be  met  and  dealt  with  as  such.  Discus- 
sions of  '  adjn.';tment  '  onlv  confuse  onr 
minds  in  the  intricacies  of  financial  ques- 
tions, which  are  as  little  uhderstood  by  those  who 
firetend  to  expound  them  as  by  the  tax-payers,  who 
end  too  willing  an  ear  to  the  infamous  conclusion  to 
which  they  all  tend.  At  this  time  a  tide  of  immigra- 
tion is  about  to  seek  on  our  Bhore>i  refuge  from  the 
general  war  impending  over  Europe.  No  port  of 
America  is  bo  attractive  to  those  people  as  \  ircihia 
now  is,  au'l  it  is  the  prestige  of  her  honorable  his- 
tory that  has  made  her  so.  Thonssnds  of  intelligent 
emigrants  from  (ireat  Britnin  already  domiciled 
among  us  are  watching  with  keen  anxiety  onr

DOMED  CflURCH. 


LITTLE  ARABLE  LASD  REMATXIXG, 
A  telegram  from  Washington  to  the  Cincin- 
nati OazttU  says:  "  Major  Powell,  in  charge  of  tho 
geological  survey  of  tho  Territories,  recently  made  a 
statement  that  there  is  but  comparatively  a  small 
awa  of  arable  land  now  owned  by  the  Cnited  States. 
This  statement  has-been  frenuently  controverted. 
Major  Powell  is  preparing  for  Congress,  at  the  diroc- . 
tion  of  the  Committ<*  on  Public  Lands,  an  accurate 
statement  of  this  question,  in  which  he  will  malntnln 
his  as.«crtion.  Tlie  r«?sults  of  hia  surveys  will  attra''t 
general  attention.  He  divides  the  United  States  into 
three  regions,  with  respert  to  agriculture :  The 
Immid,  or  arable,  the  sub-arid,  and  the  arid.  In  tho 
arable  portion,  which  includes  the  country  east  of  a 
line  from  the  eastern  point  of  Lake  Superior  to  tho 
fJulf,  the  United  States  owns  no  lands  imt  taken  up. 
The  belt  of  c-  nntry,  350  miles  in  width,  m>m  Canaaa 
to  the  Oulf.  adjoininj-  that  belt  on  the  west,  is  the 
sub-arid  division-  In  this  tho  United  States  owns  a 
considerable  quantity  of  laud,  which  may  be  culti- 
vated by  irrigation-  West  of  that,  in  the  immense 
arid  belt,  extending  from  the  Kocky  Mounti^ris  into 
Eastern  California,  only  2  per  cent-  of  the  land  can 
be  cultivated,  and  of  this  per  cent.  1  per  cent,  has  al- 
ready been  taken  up.  Major  Powell  is  preparing  a 
land  atlas  of  the  entire  country,  in  which  arable  and 
timber  lands^re  shown." 


REMARKABLE  LOSGRAXGE  SSOOTiyO. 
The  OgdensburgfToMmai  of  the  18th  instant 
says :  "  On  the  24th  day  of  July  James  Ives,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Ogdensburg  Rifle  Club,  shot  one  string 
each  at  800,  900,  and  1,000  yards,  making  a  score  of 
216  out  of  a  possible  225.  On  the  2d  day  of  August 
he  shot  a  string  of  15  shots,  800  yards,  making  a 
ncore  of  75,  or  15  consecutive  bull  s-eyes.  On  the 
8th  of  August  he  made  another  15  consecutive  bull's- 
eyes  at  900  yards.  Since  that  date  he  has  shot  two 
strings  at  1.000  yards,  making  71  in  each  string. 
This  Is  all  the  shooting  he  has  done  between  and  in- 
cluding the  24th  of  July  and  the  IGth/of  August, 
and  makes  a  graud  total  of  50S  points ^t  of  a  pos- 
sible 525.  On  the  16th  0.  F.  PartridaK  Secretary  of 
the  Ogdensburg  Rifle  Clob.  recf^iv^d  oietter  from  New- 
York  parties,  inquiring  if  the  reported  score  of  Ives 
was  correct,  and  if  so  to  telegraph^hera.  The  answer 
was  sent  that  the  score  was  correctly  reported.  Mr. 
Ives  is  book-keeper  in  the  Jjrdson  iiank  in  this  city, 
and  this  performance  indicates  that  he  is  one  of  , the 
most  skiUful  marksmen  in  the  world.  It  is  believed 
no  otlier  can  show  so  lo^e  a  score  in  the  same  num- 
ber of  shots."

CARING  FOR  A  LOXDOX  PAUPER. 
At  the  meeting  held  recently  of  the  Board  of 
Guardians  of  the  City  of  London  Union,  a  discussion 
arose  on  a  recommendation  of  tho  medical  officer  of 
Homerton  Work-house  that  a  female  pauper  in  that 
establishment  shotild  be  sent  to  the  Bath  Mineral 
Water  Hospital  for  the  recovery  of  her  health.  TJie 
woman,  it  appears,  Is  a  person  possessed  of  no 
ordinary  talents.  She  Is,  it  was  stated,  so  accom- 
plished a  musician  and  dressmaker  tliat  she  cbuld  ei«rn 
$500  a  year,  and  a  few  years  ago  held  a  situation 
at  that  salary ;  but  unfortunately  she  ''drinks,"  and 
habits  6f  intemperancff  have  compelled  her  to  seek 
shelter  in  a  work-honse.  Some  of  the  snardians 
objected  to  the  proposal  of  sending  her  to  drink  the 
waters  of  Bath,  on  thft  ground  of  her  partiality  for 
stronger  drinks  -,  and  one  member  of  the  board  sng- 

gssted  that  "  the  lady  should  be  sent  to  Margate,  as 
e  learned  from  tho  newspapers  that  many  gentle- 
folks were  going  to  that  place."  It  was,  however, 
pointed  out  that  if  she  was  not  sent  to  Bath,  and  died, 
tbe  Guardums  would  be  placed  in  an  awkward  posi- 
tion ;  the  board,  therefore,  ultimately  decided  on 
complying  with  the  medical  recommendation.

A  CREATION  OF  BTZANTIHI  ABT — VBASJES 
BY  EABTHQUAKES  AM)  PARTLY  DESPOILED 
BY  UOHAKUSDANS — THE  SACRED  EDIFICE 
SCTRMOUNTED  BY  A  GOLDEN  SUN — RICH 
UOSAICS  BESTQEED  TO  LIGHT — A  BTTTLD- 
ING  AS  SOLEMNLY  IMPBBS8ITE  AS  IT  IS 
OVEBPOWEEINGLY  BEAUTIFUL. 
How  soon  the  crescent  over  the  minarets  of 
St.  Sophia  will  be  replaced  by  the  cross,  or  how  soon 
the  minarets  themselves  will  be  entirely  swept  away, 
leaving  the  outlines  of  the  church  in  their  ancient 
con-Jition,  no  seer  haa  foretold.  *rhere  is,  howev« 
a  belief  of  long  standing— etUI  of  force,  we  are 
assured,  among  the  Greeks  of  Constantinople,  and 
not  altogether  ^credited  by  the  Turks— to  the  effect 
that  such  a  change  shall  one  day  take  place,  and  that 
"  Aya  Sofia"  shall  at  last  be  restored  to  ChriKtianity. 
This  belief  may  be  as  idle  as  the  many  similar  tradi- 
tions which  firom  time  to  time  have  been  noted  in 
the  great  cities  of  the  world.  But  the  thotijdits  of 
many  besides  Greeks  and  Torks  ore  just 
now  turned  toward  the  famot^  cathedral  of 
Justinian.  Other  Christian  churches  have 
been  converted  into  mosquee :  and,  on  the  other 
hand,  more  than  one  mosque  (witness  Cordova  and 
Toledo)  have  been  accommodated  to  tho  ritual  of  a 
Christian  Church.  But  Sancta  Sophia  occupies  a 
place  apart.  For  centuries  the  centre  of  Chris- 
tianity in  the  Eastern  World,  the  building  itself  lias 
remained  comparatively  unchanged  in  spite  of  the 
new  faifh  which  appropriated  it,  and  which  made  it  a 
centre  of  a  very  different  character.  Christendom 
has  never  completely  lost  sight  of  it.  Christian  em- 
blems remain  under  the  pla.st«r  of  the  walls,  and  this 
most  marvelous  creation  of  Byzantine  art  will  need 
no  reconstruction,  and  but  little  refitting,  to  enable  it 
once  more  to  receive  tho  throne  of  a  Christian  patri- 
arch. Sfosques,  it  would  seem,  are  no  more  exempt 
than  cathedrals  from  the  pains  and  penalties  of 
restoration  ;  and  St.  Sophia  has  been  "restored.". 
But  In  this  case  restoration  had  become  an  absolute 
necessity.  The  building  was  threatened  with  de- 
struction, and  was  dally  becoming  more  ruinous, 
when  in  1847  the  Saltan  Abdul  Medjid  placed  it  in 
tho  hands  of  an  Italian  architect,  the  Cavaliore  Fos- 
sati.  by  whom  the  work  needful  for  its  preservation 
was  airefuUy  conducted.  Roofs  were  made  water- 
tight, foundations  were  secured,  and  the  superb 
mosaics  which  line  the  Interior  were,  except  in  the 
case  of  Christian  emblenw,  freed  from  the  coats  of 
plaster  by  which  they  had  been  overlaid  for  ages.  In 
short,  th«  seems  to  have  been  a  case  of  true  "  restor- 
ation," unaccompanied  by  tho  "destruction"  which 
too  often  goes  hand  hi  hand  with  such  doings.  It  was 
repair  which  was  needed  and  which  was  supplied,  not 
reconstruction.  To  this  work  we  must  return,  but 
before  coming  to  its  present  eondldon  it  is  worth 
while  to  sketch  briefly  the  history  of  this  moat  famous 
building,  the  interior  of  which  is"  so  beautiful  that,  in 
the  judgment  of  one  of  the  ablest  of  modem  critics,  it 
remains  an  open  question  whether  a  Christian  church 
exists  anywhere,  of  any  age,  of  equal  perfection. 

Constantine  the  Great,  in  the  twentieth  year  of 
his  reign,  founded  the  principal  chmrh  in  his  new 
caplti^  and  dedicated  it  to  the  ''Holy  Wisdom." 
'*  Agia  Sophia."  His  son  Constnntios  completed  the 
building,  which  a  century  later  was  destroyed  by  fire 
during  the  disturbances  in  the  city  caused  by  the  ex- 
ile of  St.  Chrysostora.  in  A-  D.  404.  Arcadius  re- 
built it;  but  this  second  cJiurch  was  destroyed  tmder 
Justinian  in  the  fierce  struggles  of  the  Hippodrome 
factions,  when  more  than  30,000  persons  perished. 
Jiistinlan  saw  his  opportunity :  and.  a  lover  of 
building  and  eager  in  every  way  for  his  own  repute- 
tion,  he  determined  to  erect  a  church  which 
tthould  be  the  wonder  of  tho  world,  •it  was  be- 
gun about  the  year  532.  The  architect  was  An- 
themius  of  Tiillea,  "the  most  famous  of  his 
time."  says  Procopitw.  "In  what  is  called  me- 
chanical wisdom."  (sophio.)  With  him  was"  joined 
a  mechanician  named  Isidorus  of  Miletus — a  man 
"prudent  and  worthy."  The  church  was  eight 
years  in  building;  and  when  at  last  it  stood  complete 
It  appeared  so  marvelous  in  tho  eyes  of  all  who 
looked  on  it  that  It  was  generally  believed  not  only 
that  an  angel  had  given  the  plan,  bnt  that  heayen 
had  rained  gold  and  gems  for  the  express  purpose  of 
its  construction.  The  noblest  temples  of  Greece  and 
Asia  were  despoiled,  and  pillars  of  the  mostprecious 
marbles  were  Drought  to  Constantinople.  Kphesus, 
Porgamns,  Boolbec  gave  up  their  treasures,  and 
masses  of  Egyptian  porphyry  and  nf  syenite,  which 
centurien  before  had  been  hewn  for  the  honor  of 
Zi'us  and  of  Artemis,  took  their  places  in  the  great 
Christian  chnrch.  It  was  tho  boast  of  Justinian  that 
lie  had  excelled  the  Temple  at  Jerusalem.  "  I  have 
surpasseil  thee,  0  Solomon."  he  exclaimed,  as  he 
gazed  on  the  completed  building,  and  it  is  sold  that 
he  caused  a  statue  of  Solomon  to  be  erected  oppo- 
site the  church,  "with  a  sad  expression,  as  thougli 
grieving  nt  the  \'ast  sixe  and  beauty"  of  Justinian's 
work.  But  Justinian  did  not  realize  the  extent  to 
which  his  building  excelled  the  Jewish  temple.  "  The 
latter."  says  Mr.'Ftrgusson.  "was  only  equal  to  a 
small  chnrch  with  a  wooden  roof,  supported  by 
wooden  postK.  and  covering  some  7,  '2O0  square  feet. 
St.  Sophia  covers  10  times  that  area,  is  built  of  du- 
rable materials  throtighout.  and  is  far  more  ariis- 
ticjiily  ornamented  than  the  temple  of  the  Jews  ever 
could  have  been."  Moreover,  "neither  tbe  Pan- 
theon nor  any  of  the  vault*^  halls  at  Rome  equal  the 
nave  of  .St.  Sophia  in  extent,  in  cleverness  of  eon- 
Ftructlon,  or  in  beauty  of  design."  The  great 
churciv  it  ne^'d  h.-irdly  bo  said,  is  eBsentially  R\-zan- 
tine.  and  belongs  to  the  clasa  of  <laTtie*i  buildings 
gradually  developed  from  those  circular  churches 
with  wooden  roofs,  which  were  thoraselves  de- 
signed on  the  plan  of  certain  aneient  temples.  Of 
these  primitive  round  churches,  ijerhaps  tho 
first  important  one  constructed,  certainly  the  most 
important  which  remains,  is  the  Dome  of  the  Rock  at 
.Terusalcm.  better  known  as  the  Jlosqne  of  Omar. 
This  is  the  church  erected  by  ConKtantiue  over  what 
he  believed  to  be  the  Holy  Sepulchre.  •'  The  most 
sacred  church  in  Christeudom*  it  has  been  called.- 
and.  lik«  Sancta  Sophia,  it  "bides  its  time"  for 
restorstion  to  t.ie  faith.  Deeply  intei-eatiuj:.  how- 
ever, as  It  is  architectunUly,  it  haa  notliing  of  the 
developed  erandeur  of  Jusrlntans  church.  This,  in 
plan,  "  closely  approaches'  (here  we  use  the  words 
of  Mr.  Fergusson)  "  an  exact  square,  being  285  feet 
norih  and  sonth.  by  ^.'^O  feet  east  and  west,  exclusive 
of  the  nartJiox  and  aiwe.  The  narthex  itself' {this 
ia.the  portico,  or  western  entrance)  "  is  a  splendid 
hall,  205  feet  in  length  intemnUy  bv  '26  feet 
wide,  and  two  stories  in  height."  Altogether,  the 
building  covers  about  70.OOO  square  feet,  oj  nearly 
tho  average  area  of  a  mddi.'BVAl  cathedral  of  the  flrst 
class.  The  great  body  of  the  church  is  covered  by  a 
circular  dome,  and  two  half  domes  east  and  ^est. 
Aisles,  as  we  should  call  them,  or  long  and  wide  side 
passages,  open  to  the  nave  norih  and  south :  and 
above  tliese  is  the  so-called  gynaxeum.  the  broad 
gallwries,  with  arcades  looking  into  the  body  of  the 
church,  which  answer  in  some  sort  to  the  triforia  of 
a  mediff\'al  building.  Without  the  help  of  plan  or  of 
drawing,  it  is  impossible  to  indicate  the  diflQcwlties 
of  construction  overcome  by  the  architect,  or  to 
point  out  how  complot<*lv  St.  Sophia  represents  tho 
BvTautine  '"ideal,"  and  is  in  fact  the  natural  and 
highest  development  of  a  great  domed  church. 

Earthquakes  shook  the  church  within  a  few  years 
of  its  completion.  Tlie  great  dome  fell,  and  was  re- 
stored by  a  younger  Isidorus,  nephew  of  tiie 
"mechanician.  Repairs  were  made  to  the  fabric  by 
successive  Emperors ;  but  the  design  was  never  al- 
tered, aod  there  were  no  additions.  Even  at  tho  fall 
of  Constantinople,  in  1204.  wheu  the  city  was  taken 
by  Western  crusader*;  and  Venetians,  who  hated  the 
Greek  Church  with  all  possible  hatred,  although  all 
movaUe  plate  and  furniture  disappeared  from  "St. 
Sophia,  and  the  church  was  convertea  into  a  barrack, 
it  suffered  no  irretrievable  harm,  and  the  building 
itself  was  little  injured.  It  remained  the  great 
centre  of  Greek  religion  until  14.52,  when  the  Emperor 
had  become  almost  the  vassal  of  the  Sultan 
Mohammed  II.,  and  the  Turks  were  at  the  gates  of 
Constantinople.  In  the  November  of  that  year, 
Isidore,  the  Metropolitan  of  Kief,  who  had  ropre- 
seuted  the  Russian  Church  .at  the  Council  of  Flor- 
ence, and  had  afterward  joined  the  Church  of  Rome, 
and  had  received  a  Cardinal's  hat,  was  sent  to  Con- 
stantinople as  his  Legate  by  Pope  Nicholas  V.  The 
object  was  the  union  of  the  Churches,  which,  in  his 
despair,  and  in  hope  of  assistance  from  the  Pone,  the 
Emperor  Constantine  hod  promised  to  complete  in 
any  way  that  the  Pope  should  direct.  On  the  12th 
of  December.  145'X  the  Emperor  celebrated  his 
union  with  the  Papal  Church  in  the  Cathedral  of  St. 
Sophia.  The  court  and  th^  great  body  of  the  clergy 
rattfied  the  act  by  their  presence :  but  the  monks  and 
the  people  would  none  of  it.  They  held  that  the 
church  had  been  polluted  by  the  ceremony,  and  from 
that  day  it  was  deserted  by  the  orthodox.  The 
historian  Ducas  declares  that  they  looked  upon  it  as 
a  haunt  of  demons,  and  no  better  than  a  pagan 
shrine.  Then  came  the  fatal  May  of  1453.  At  the 
high  altar  of  Sl-TSophia.  Constantino  received  the 
Holy  Sacrament  daring  the  night  before  the  great  as- 
sault (May  29.)  in  which  he  fell.  As  the  news  spread 
that  the  Mohnmraedanj*  had  made  their  way  into  the 
city,  the  old  awe  and  veneration  which  had  spread  a 
sort  of  mystery  round  tjt.  Sophia  returned.  Senators, 
priests,  monks,  and  nuns  hastened  to  take  refuge 
within  its  walls,  recalling  an  ancient  tradition  that 
an  angel  would  descend  at  the  moment  when  the 
infidels  were  adv\ncing  toward  the  column  of  Con- 
stantine the  Great,  and,  putting  a  sword  into  the 
hand  of  a  certain  man  who  wonld  be  sitting  at  the 
base  of  the  column,  would  order  him  to  avenge  the 
people  of  God ;  whereupon  the  Turks,  seized  with  a 
panic  would  take  flight  to  the  borders  of  Persia. 
But  no  such  heavenly  aid  came  to  the  20,000  people 
who  crowded  St.  Sophia.  Mohammed  on  entering 
the  city  ^ode  straight  to  the  great  church.  Men, 
women,  and  children  were  divided  among  the  soldiers 
as  slaves,  and  all  the  furniture,  plate,  and  ornaments 
disappeared  so  quickly  that.  In  the  words  of  Fiulay, 
"the  mighty  temple  soon  presented  few  traces  of 
having  been  a  Christian  Church."  Mohammed  him- 
pelf  was,  it  is  said,  greatly  impressed  with  the  rich 
marbles  and  the  general  splendor  of  the  place. 
He  caused  the  muezzins  who  were  with  hm  to 
summon  the  troops  to  prayer ;  and  his  own  prayer- 
carpet  was  Spread  on  the  high  altar.  There  the 
"Son  of  Iniquity,"  as  the  Christian  Ducas 
calls  him,  announced  that  the  Orthodox  G^reek 
Empire  was  extinct ;  and  from  that  time  the  church 
of  Justinian  has  served  as  the  chief  mosque  of  the 
dty.  The  variotis  Christian  emblems  were  coveted 
with  plaster  and  thin  coats  of  paint,  and  mosaics, 
which  could  have  offended  no  one,  were  afterward 
treated  in  similar  fashion.  Ijarge  and  heavy  ex- 
terior buttresses,  rendered  necessary,  it  is  assarted, 
by  the  shock  of  earthquakes,  were  added  by  Seiin  H. 
and  Amurath  IH. ;  but  what  we  must  consider  a 
fortunate  neglect  was  more  or  less  the  fate  of  St 
Sophia  until  It  was  taken  in  hand  by  the  architect 
FossatL  His  work  lasted  throngh  two  years,  and 
was  completed  under  great  difficulties.  Only  the 
seal  of  BMchid  Faabo,  we  are  told,  enabled,  hlih  to 
being  it  to  a  saaoeaaful  and. 

And  now  wa  lo^  approach  St.  So^iljk  and  see.  so

the  Venetiana  of  the  four  Corinthian  horses  which, 
since  the  aiege  of  120i,  have  deoorated  the  front  or 
St.  Mark's.    The  long  front  of  the  narthex.  with  its 
double  row  of    windovm,    reminds   us   of    oettain, 
churches  of   the    Bhineland,    where    the   tme    Ro* 
manesque  Is  more  or  less  effected  by  Byzantine  in^n-

by  the  exterior,  all  is  forgotten  on  enterin|;  even  the 
vestibule  of  the  chnrch — the  narthex.    l^is  is  ap- 
proached by  a  vatilted  passage,  the  bronae  door  of 
which  is  of  the  best  Greek  time,  and  was,  of  course, 
the  spoil  of  a  temple.    Over  it,  incrasted  in  silver, 
are  the  monograms  of  Theodora  atid  MichaeL    Over 
the  opposite   door,    which   admits  to  the  narthex, 
were  found,  during  the  restoration,  the  portraits  In 
mosaic  of  the  Emperors  Constantino  and  Justinian; 
but  thaae,  as  disturbing  to  true  believers,  have  been 
again  covered  with  a  thin  coat  of  paint.    Then  we 
enter  tho  porch,  or  narthex  itself.  20y  feet  in  length. 
The  walls  are  covered  with  predons  marbles  In  long 
plamies,  and  the  vault  is  enriched  with  mosaic*  on  a 
goldon  ground.     Over  the  central  door,  opening  to

peror  Conittantine  Pogonsttis  prostrate  before  Onr 
Lord,  who  is  attended  by  the  Virein  and  the  Angel 
Gabriel.    Tbe  elaborate  cornices,  wie  sculpture,  and

linger  in  this  outer  hall  were  it  not  that  at  this 
point  nothing  out  a  closed  door  intervenes  between

own  beauty,   is  attractive   from  the  half   mystery 
which    surrounds   it — ^tho   interior   of    St.    Sophia. 
The  impression  on  entering  Is  that  of  a  sublfaiity 
hardly  attained  by  any  other  great  building  In  the 
Western    World.      Tie     strangely     mixed    details. 
Christian   and    Mohammedan,    when   seen  and  ex- 
amined, do  not  detract  from  this  impression,  though 
they  ^'nforce  on  mind  and  memorv  the  history  and  ^ 
the  present  appropriation  of  the  btiilding.    Beyond  , 
the  wide,  vast  nave  rises  the   vatilt  of  the  dome,    ■ 
carried  on  fonr  massive  piers.    At  the  four  angles  of   ' 
the  main  arches  are  figures  of    many-winged  cher-    ! 
ubim,  whose  faces  are  now  covered  with  stars  of  sil- 
ver.   Silver  stars,  too.  and  coatings  of  paint,  cover  . 
the  solemn  ^jures.  in  the  richest  mosaic,  of  prophets,    , 
apostles,  and  doctors  of  the  Church,  which  cover  the  . 
vaulting  and  the  sides  of  the  great  arches.  Stispended 
from   the   pillars,  lu  gold  on  a  black  ground,   are 
Turkish    inscriptions,    bearing   the   names    of    the 
first  four  Khahfs  and  of  the    12  Imams.     These 
are   huge     and     intrusive ;     but    a   more    singular 
effect     is     produced     by     the     oblique     position 
of     the    "number,"     or     pulpit,    plaoed     against 
the  south-eastern  pier  of  the  dome,  and  by  the  slant 
of  the  prayer-carpets,  with  which  the  whole  floor  is  • 
covered.      They  are  so  arran^red  In  order  that  tho  , 
Mhirab  (in  the  pl\ce  of  the  Christian  altar)  mav  be  in 
the  direction  of  Mecca:    and  the  effect  is  to  give  an  ; 
apparent  twist  to  the  whole   building.      I>uring  the 
holy  nights  of  Rama.<tsn  6.000  lamps,  suspended  at  . 
diff'erent  heights  by  slender  threads  of  Iron,  light  the 
entire  vast  space.-and  give  a  wonderful  impression  of 
beauty.     But  these  Mohammedan  arrangements  are, 
after  all,  but  fittings,  and  in  no  way  affect  the  archi-   " 
tecture  of  the  place,  or  such  of  its  original  decora- 
tions as  are  allowed  to  be  visible.     An  arcade,  broken  ■ 
at  intervals  by  the  massive  wall  opens  from  the  nave 
to  the    aisles  on  either  side    of  it  :    and  the  gyn»- 
ceum,   or  upt>er   gallery,  has  similar  arches.      The  ■ 
pillars  which  carry  these  arches  are,   as  has  been 
said,   either  of  porphyry    or  of  the  most  precious 
marbles.    The  rich  and  peculiarly-shaped  capitals  are 
covered  with  incised  ornaments,   among  which  tho 
acanthus  leaf  is  conspicuous.    The  spondrils  of  the 
arches,  and  indeed  all  tbe  tint  surfaces,  are  covered 
with  a  mosaic  of  marble  slabs  of  tho  m'>!!t  \'aried  ; 
patterns  and  beautiful  colors  ;  and  every  curved  enr- 
lace.  besides  the  domes  and  roofs,  is  enriched  with 
colored  mosaic  on  a  golden  ground.     The  restoration 
to   light    of    the   greater    part    of    these    mosaics 
is  due  to  the  architect  Fossati ;  and  although  the 
figures     of     men     and     of     angels,     and     every 
Christian    symbol,     are    still    covered,      so     great 
an    extent    of    mosaic    remains    are     exposed    as  ' 
to  affect  very  greatly  the  general   appearance  of  the 
interior.    The  glow  and  color  are  superb  at  certain  ; 
times  of  the  day.    when  the   light,    reflected  on    the  i 
walls  of  gold  and  rich  marble,  seems  tn  traverse  them 
as   if  they  were  transparent.    The   light   is   not  ex- 
treme in  the  building,  and,  indeed,  in  that  southern  , 
climate  a  great  eitout  of  window  is  hardly  desirable. 
The  Dome  of  the  Rock  at  Jerusalen  is  enriched  with  : 
stained  glass,  "of  patterns  more   beautiful,"  thinks 
Sir.  FergruR.'ion,  "  and  colors  more  exqisite  than  any  . 
to  be  found  in  onr  northern,  cathedrals,"  and  he  rue-  : 
gosts  that  the  use  of  similtr  glass  in   St.  Sophia  is  ^1   j 
that  is  wanted  "  to  render  the  btuldirg  as  solemnly  I 
iiuprefisive  as  it  is  ovorpoweringly  beautiful."  j 

It  cannot  be  said  vrith  truth,  although  the  assertion  , 
is  constantly  made,  that  the  ground  plan  of  St.  So-  i 
phia  is  that  of  a  Greek  cross.    It  is  really  a  sqnare,    i 
(or  neariy  that. )  in  which  Is  set  tbe  great  nave,  open-   i 
ing  at  either  end,  north  and  sootfa,  into  a  seHalfliK.n-  j 
lar  apse.     Between  these  side  apsas.  eastward,  J|PE he  ' 
main  apse,  which  contained  the  high  altar.   TMtpro-   ■ 
jects  slightly  beyond  the    square.     Between  tlie  side  i 
apses,  westward.   Is  the  great   portel  of  entry  from 
the  narthex.     "V^Tiether  such  a  ground  ploc   was  sug- 
gested  by    tbe    vision    of  the   heavenly  Jerusalem, 
which  "  lieth  four-square„and  the  length  ia   as  large 
as    the   breadth.'-'   is   not  certain  ;  but  it  mey  well 
have  been  so,  althotigh  the   development  of  earlier 
buildings   Is  no  doubt  conspicuotia  in  St.   Sophia. 
In    the    centre    of    the    grmeceum   or,  gaHeii'  on 
the  right  of  the  dome,  was  the  plaee  reserred  for 
the  Greek   Emperors,    cloeed    by   a    boluatrade    of 
irmrble.       Here,    too,    was    the    monuineot    of   the 
Venetian  Admiral    Dandolo,    who   fell    during  the 
storming  of  Constantinople  In   1205 ,-    and    in  the 
aamo  gallery  is  a  doorway,  walled  up  until  the  late 
restoration,  throu^   which,    according    to  a  story 
generally  believed    by   the    Greek   population,    the  : 
priest  disappeared  who  was  celebrating  mass  at  the 
moment  when   the    Turkish    conquerors  burst  into 
tlie  church.     Tho  wall  dosed  on  him  as  be  enterful 
carrying  the  consecrated  Host.      When  tbe  portal 
was' opened  a  small  chapel  was  found  at  the  back, 
and  a  staircase  filled  with   broken  stone  and  plaster. 
We  do  not  care   to    enlarge    on   the  modem  fittings 
over  which  Fossati  presided,  or   to  describe   particu- 
larly th^  new  tmpenol  tribone,   tho  "  Mahfili  Homa- 
youn. "  from  which  the  Sultan  commands  the  entire 
nave.    The  golden  sun  which  surmounts  It,  the  em- 
blem of    the    Sultan,  is  even  more  conspicuous  than 
the   vast   monograms   of  the  Khalifa    It  is  not  on 
these  things  that  the  Christian  visitor  cares  to  dwelt 
His  Turkish  sympathies — supposing  that  he  has  them 
— will  hardly  be    strengthened    by   a    visit    to  iSaint 
Sophia.  ^ 

JAY  GOULD'S  EARLY  LIFE. 

.  The  Cleveland  (Ohio)  Herald  prints  the  fol- 
lowing on  the  authority  of  an  old  time  business  asac^ 
date  of  the  individual  described :  "Jay  Gould  Is  a 
native  of  Boxbnry,  Delaware  County.  N.  T.  ffis 
father  waa  the  first  male  child  bom  in  the  town.  Jay 
Gotild's  mother  died  when  he  was  about  10  years 
old,  and  his  father  has  been  dead  about  eight  years. 
The  farm  on  which  his  father  lived  was  exchanged 
in  1^56  for  a  house  and  lot  In  the  village  o^Roxbnry, 
with  A-  H.  Burhans,  now  a  resident  of  Cleveland, 
and  was  the  farm  on  which  his  grandfather  settled. 

It  was  also  the  homestead  of  the  Gould  family.  It  can 
now  be  purchased  for  $3,000.  Jay  Gould  did  make 
a  map  of  Delaware  County.  K.  T.,  as  has  been  stated, 
but  it  waa  considered  a  flrst-closs  map.  and  was  well 
received  bv  all  hi»  subscribers.  He  also  wrote  the 
first  history  of  Delaware  County.  In  tbe  rear  1856 
he  made  a  map  of  Lake  County,  Ohio,  and  also  a 
map  of  Oakland  County,  Mich.  He  was  then 
in  the  map  business,  and  made  a  success 
of  it.  Jay  Gould's  mother  was  an  active  mem- 
ber of  the  Methodist  Chnrch  and  one  of 
his  sisters  married  a  Methodist  minister.  He  has 
three  sisters  living  who  are  active  members  of  the 
Methodist  Church.  Jay  Gould  is  a  self-educated 
man,  about  40  years  old,  a  gentleman  of  sterling 
habits,  and  energetic  He  commenced  stirveyiug  in 
1S55.  when  about  17  years  old.  for  Oliver  Diston,  of 
Ulster  County,  N.  Y.  He  assisted  htm  in  the  survey 
of  the  county,  and  did  not  receive  over  $10  per 
month  for  hia  services.  His  next  work  was  to  map 
his  own  county.  He  was  engaged  In  *  tannery  with 
CoL  Zadoc  Pratt,  one  of  the  first  tanners  in  his  day 
in  the  United  States.  Zodoc  Pratt  was  the  f  otinder 
of  P^rattBville,  Greene  County.  N.  T.,  and  was  at  one 
time  the  most  extensive  tanner  in  the  world,  and 
also  a  fanner  and  banker.  He  became  attachefl  to

road, The  place  was  named  in  honor  of  Jay  Gkiuld, 
who  was  then  a  young  man  about  23  years  old.  Mr. 
Pratt  and  Mr.  Gould  settled  up  the  business  of  Pratt

WHAT  THE  MAILS  BRING.     '{\ 


UTAR  DIVORCE  TO  BE  TESTED. 
The  Dayton  (Ohio)  Dejnocrat  of  the  18th 
inst.  says  :  "  A  suit  was  commenced  in  the  Comt  of 
Common  Pleae  yesterday  wliich  wUl  form  the  ground- 
work of  a  slight  social  sensation.  The  action  is 
brotight  to  set  i^ide  one  of  those  Utah  divorces  '  ob- 
tained without  notice  or  publicity.'  The  parties  are 
William  Kiefaber  and  wife,  and  are  well  known  In 
Daj-ton.  They  were  married  several  years  ago,  and 
three  or  more  children  were  bom  to  them,  the 
children  being  vet  of  quite  tender  years.  The  hna- 
band and  wife  <iid  not  live  happily  together,  but  no 
action  looking  to  a  separation  or  divorce  came  to  the 
wife's  knowledge  until  some  time  lost  Winter,  or  early 
in  the  Spring,  when  she  was  handed  a  paper  from 
Reed  &  Co.,  of  Cincinnati,  which  informed  her  that 
her  husband  had  obtained  a  divorce  from  her. 
She  thought  the  matter  a  rather  extraordinary  pro- 
eeediDE;,  as  it  was  the  first  intimation  she  hao  re- 
oeived  upon  the  subject,  and  consulted  an  attorney, 
who  took  the  papers  she  had  received  from  Reed  & 
Co.,  and.  going  to  Cincinnati,  called  upon  those  gen- 
tlemen for  more  light  npoa  tbe  subject,  and  was  in- 
formed that  the  parties  had  really  been  divorced. 
The  divorce,  he  was  informed,  iiad  been  obtained  in 
Beaver  County,  Utah  Territory.  All  that  is  iwuired 
there  is  to  file  in  the  court  of  the  county  an  i^davit 
setting  forth  that  the  applicant  for^livorce,  while  not 
a  bona  fide  resident  of  the  Territory  or  county,  ex- 
pects to  become  one ;  that  the  plaintiff  cannot  live 
hai^Uy  with  tho  defendant  because  of  incompatibil- 
ity, &c..  and  the  decree  of  divorce  is  made.  There  is 
no  publicity  needed  in  this  proceeding;  in  fact,  it  Is 
not  necessary  even  to  go  tlmmgh  the  formality  of 
notifyii^  the  defendant  of  the  pendency  of  the  suit. 
These,  it  appears  from  Mra.  Kiefaber's  petition,  are 
the  faets  upon  which  her  husband  obt^ned  tfaa  di- 
voToe  from  her,  and  whkh  aha  alleges  is  null  and 
voU,  and  aaks  the  court  to  set  It  aaUo  aa  such.  Mrs. 
Eiefaber,  in  her  petition,  asks  (hat  she  may  be  di- 
vorced from  her  hiuband,  and  also  aaks  for  saitahle 
alimony  for  herself  and  for  support  for  their  ahti.

TSB  MITCHELL  TAMJLT  TBOXJSLN^ 
ATTEXPT  OV  A  XOTEER  TO  flXCUBH  VM* 
EESSIOH  OF  HER  CHILD. 
JVom  Os  MSbpwiku  CFtf.;  Tirnu^  A%ff.  16. 
:'  For  some  time  past  there  haa  been  a  gnnrin^ 
nnha(iiiines8  in  tbe  family  of  Mr.,  John  li.  V^^Hell, 
the  son  of  Hon.  Alexander  Mitchell,  and  the  popular 
State  Senstor  from  the  Sixth  Senatorial  DistiicU 
Incompatibility  in  tastes  and  dispoettion  is  probably 
at  the  foimdation  of  these  troubles.  On  'the  7th  of 
last  July  Mr.  John  L.  Mitchell  ejected  hia  wife  froia' 
her  home,  retaining  the  custody  of  their  only  child,  a 
boy  3  year*  old,  nametl  David  Ferguson  MitdirfL 
Mia.  Mitchell  »onght  refuge  with  her  relatives,  and 
to  avoid  ptiblidty  r<>tired  under  their  protection  tu 
Kilboum  (Sty,  a  quiet  Wisconrin  Summer  resort. 
Meanwhile  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Alexander  Jlitchell  asstmied 
the  custody  of  tho  child,  who  is  a  bright  and  beanti^ 
ful  boy,  with  a  precodoualy  high  forehead,  large 
sad  eyes,  and  a  aweet  and  lovinc  dinpocitiou.  Tmt 
custody  they  have  since  retained,  upon  the  groi^q 
that  neither  parent  of  the  child  was  in  a  fit  staAe  of 
mind  to  properly  care  for  IL  Upon  returning  to  this 
city  from  her  sojourn  in  the  coimtry,  the  mothes 
sought  access  to  her  child.  ThK  we  are  informed, 
was  not  refased.  The  relatives  who  had  coustitat«id 
themselves  tho  guardians  of  tbe  boy  informod  the  • 
mother  that  she  could  visit  him  at  stated  int«rvala, 
at  such  times  and  places  aa  she  would  appoint. 

On  the  morning  of  Aug.  13.  Mrs.  Alexandet 
Mitchell,  accompanied  by  >Ir9.  Crosby,  drove  wtto 
the  child  to  the  residence  of  Mrs.  X.  J.  Emmons,  on 
Oneida-street,  near  the  lakn.  Hither  Mrs.  John 
Mitchell  followed  them.- obtained  admisaiuu  to  tbe 
house,  found  and  seized  her  boy,  and  ran  with  M-ni 
down  the  steps,  toward  her  coacli,  which  was  in 
wmting  around  the  nearest  comer.  On  the  pave- 
ment she  tripped  and  fell.  Tbe  child  was  disengaged 
from  her  clasp  and  borne  away  by  Mrs.  Alexander 
Mitchell.  This  dramatic  event,  of  course,  greatly 
excited  the  community,  bnt  It  waa  only  a  prelude  to 
the  scenes  that  took  place  to-day. 

Mr.  Alexander  Mitchell  claimed,  and  still  claims, 
that  neither  parent  is  qualified  to  have  tbe  care  of 
his  grandson.  It  is  understood  that  he  offered  the 
mother  a  verv  liberal  provision  in  consideration  of  a 
quiet  separation..  Th^  the  younger  Mrs.  Mitchell 
could  not  consent  to,  as  It  would  be  constiued  as  an 
admission  to  her  detriment. 

One  day  this  week  the  first  steps  were  taken  by 
Mrs.  John  L*.  Mitchell  for  an  absolute  divorce,  thres 
serious  offences,  each  of  a  different  natore,  being  al* 
leged  as  the  grounds  of  the  action.  Her  attomeyt 
are  Jefferson  C.  McKenney,  late  A^odstant  DistrCst 
Attorney  in  the  prosecunon  of  the  Milwaakei 
Whiskv  Ring,  and  the  real  head  of  {hos*)  famoui 
le^l  proceedings.  Associated  with  31  r.  McKenney 
is  Matt.  H.  Carpenter,  his  late  antagonist  in  many  oJ 
the  whisky  suit*. 

The  sympathies  of  Milwaukee  society  are  about 
equally  divided  between  the  two  parties  to  theas 
painftU  proceedings.  Mr.  John  L.  Mitchell,  who  re- 
sides on  a  fine  form  in  the  outskirts  of  the  dty.  ia  a 
gentleman  of  fine  education,  witty,  genial,  and  pop- 
tUar  La  Ills  manners.  Mrs.  BInaca  Mitchell,  his  wife, 
is  a  handsome  brunette,  petite,  vivacious,  and  esgag> 
ing,  and  somewhat  fond  of  society.  Her  father,  tu 
late  George  C-oggswell,  was  at  one  thne  a  law  partnei 
of  Matt  Carpenter.  She  is  very  highly  connected  ir 
this  city,  and  her  struggles  to  regain  possosidou  of 
the  only  child  who  has  survived  out  of  a  family  ci 
several  children,  have  calculated  to  win  the  pre- 
ponderance of  public  sympathv  to  her  side. 

At  1 1  o'clock  this  mommg  i>eputy  Sheriff  Aldrleta, 
vested  with  the  proper  papers,  called  at  the  house  ol 
Alexander  Mitchell  for  the  purpose  of  securing  the 
child.  The  Deputy  was  unaccompanied,  and  walked 
through  the  conservatory,  hoping  to  fimd  the  child 
with  a  nurse.  From  the  conservatory  he  entered  the 
hoaae,  and,  finding  no  one  about,  he  went  up  stairs 
and  entered  Mrs.  Mitchells  nrivate  room.  There  he 
found  the  child  with  Mrs.  Mitchell  and  a  ntirse.  The 
Deputy  took  the  child  in  his  arms  and  made  known 
the  object  of  his  viMt.  Mrs.  Mitrhell  and  the  nnise 
nrotetited  against  bis  taking  the  child,  and  stepped  in 
front  of  the  Deputy,  ^rs.  Mitchell  then  askea  him 
for  his  authority,  when  the  Deputy  drew  the  papers 
from  his  pocket.  Mrs.  ilitchell  askedfor  the  Deputy'a 
-name,  and  expressed  surprise  at  the  action  which  had 
been  made  under  the  directiou  of  the  authorities. 
TTie  Deputy  politely  informed  her  that  he  was  actizce 
under  legal  directions,  and  that  he  mttst  do  hia 
duty. 

Mrs.  Mitchell  then  asked  for  the  child,  to  pttt  on 
its  clothes.  The  Deputy  replied  that  he  wonld  give 
her  the  child  if  she  would  return  it  to  him.  Mrs. 
Mitchell  then  took  the  boy  to  the  other  side  of  the 
room.  In  the  meantime  the  news  of  the  Sheriff's 
attempt  to  take  tbe  infant  had  spread  throngh  the 
house,  and  the  servants  all  flocked  to  the  room  to 
render  assistance.  The  child  commenced  to  cry,  and 
the  utmost  confusion  existed  for  a  time.  Mrs. 
Mitchell  begged  to  be  allowed  to  ret-ibi  the  child,  and 
said  she  would  surrender  it  with  the  advice  of  proper 
legal  authority,  and  on  the  production  of  proper 
papers.  The  crowd  which  collected  in  tbe  roou* 
and  hoU  completely  blocked  the  passage-way,  and 
prevented  the  Deputy  from  securing  his  charge.  He 
saw  that  it  was  impossible  to  make  his  way  out  with 
the  child,  and,  on  Sirs.  Mitchell's  assurance  that  the 
child  woTild  be  given  up  at  the  direction  of  the  law. 
the  Deputy  took  ills  departure  and  reported  the  fact 
at  the  Sheriff's  ofBee.  The  news  of  the  troablA 
spread  like  wildfire,  and  before  the  Deputy  coula 
leave  the  house  a  huet  of  friends  and  relatives  lined 
the  sidewalk  and  yard  leading  from  the  srreet  to  tho 
bouse.  Mr.  Alexander  Mitchell  was  seen  half  an 
hour  after,  restlessly  paciug  the  corridorof  the  CourV 
house,  nervously  rolling  a  paper  in  his  hand. 

The  Deputy  was  commissioned  this  afternoon  with 
new  autlioritv,  and.  ocrxraiponled  bv  Col.  Lord  and 
Mrs.  John  Mitchell.  Ipft  the  Sheriff's  ofQce  for  the 
house.  Col.  Ivord  and  the  Deputy  went  to  the  house 
and  found  the  door  locked.  _  They  were  unable  to 
gain  an  entrance  and  drove  baok.  The  following 
writ  was  served  on  Mr.  Alexander  Mitchell  this  af- 
ternoon, and  he  assured  the  officer  that  the  child 
would  be  brought  into  court  to-morrow  morning  at 
10  o'<dock : 

In  the  matter  of  the  State  of  Wisconsin  to  Alex- 
ander Mitchell ;

imprisonment  and  detention,  bv  whatsoever  naoM

Pnm  the  Ban  FraneUco  JfotZ,  Avff.  12. 

To  THE  PcBLic  :  Xow  that  the  public  polaa 
has  had  time  to  quiet  down  and  the  first  excitement 
caused  by  the  dreadful  tragedy  is  over,  I  feel  that  it 
is  my  duty  to  write  a  few  lines  in  vindication  of  my 
dead  brother.  The  more  so  as  he  can  never  oome  to 
trial  in  this  world ;  the  more  so  that  not  one  pnblia 
journal  has  said  a  word,  as  fax  as  I  know.  In  hia 
favor.  No  writer  has  admitted  the  possibility  that 
there  could  be  two  sides  to  tbe  terrible  story  so  well 
known  to  all.  l  waited  anxiously  for  some  journal- 
ist, more  tiionghtful  and  cool  than  others,  to  pen  a 
few  khid  wor<is  and  to  admit  the  possibility  of  iheru 
being  some  mistake,  some  extenuating  circumstances, 
which,  when  known,  would  change  the  aspect  of  the 
caae.  Murder  is  a  hard,  cruel  word,  which  should 
never  be  applied  to  a  human  being  who  has  not  been 
cnnvicted  of  that  crime.  What  person  reading  these 
Itneo,  knowing  the  weakness  of  human  nature,  tn 
free  communication  with  his  inner  self,  can  saj*.  "  I 
feel  myself  fully  competent  to  judge  this  man  f* 
Who  can  realiie  the  terrible  ordeal  through  which  he 
passed  1  Is  it  reasonable  to  .<:.ippo8e  that  a  man 
noted  among  his  friends  for  his  high  sense  of  honor 
— a  man  who  would  turn  from  his  path  to  avoid  In- 
juring an  insect — could  be  Instantly  transformed 
into  the  incarnate  fiend  which  poptilar  opinion  has 
created  and  embodied  in  him  ?  I  am  sure  in  my  own 
mind — although  it  may  never  be  proved — tliat  he 
never  intended  to  'kill  Mr.  Dally,  and  that 
no  other  human  being  ("an  reanie  the  re- 
gret he  felt.  I  have  known  him  in  infancy, 
in  childhood,  end  in  manhood,  and  I  never 
knew  him  to  do  a  mean  action,  or  to  be  guilty  of  the 
sh^test  act  of  cruelty.  Could  his  frienOs  have  dtmg 
tohim  as  they  did.  had  he  not  won  their  friendidiip 
by  his  character  f  The  first  kind  word  I  have  aeeu 
in  print  waa  from  off.oer  Ijndheimer.  towhom  lam 
specially  grateful,  and  regret  that  he  should  have 
stiffered  in  consequence  of  his  kindness  to  my  unfor- 
tunate brother.  Is  It  too  much  to  ask  of  the  publio 
to  suspend  judgment  for  a  time,  in  the  hope  that 
when  the  evidence  is  fn^Ty  pnblishod  it  may  be  found 
to  remove  the  stigma  which  is  now  attached  to  my 
brother's  name  f  HEKRY  G.  HANKS.

There  being  an  intimation  in  the  above  card  thai 
there  were  features  connected  with  the  tragedy 
which  hod  not  yet  been  given  to  the  public,  a  l/a*^ 
reporter  last  evening  called  ujxjn  Mr.  HonkK.  think- 
ing that  he  might  desire  to  make  a  statement  in  be- 
huf  of  his  late  brother.    The  reporter  found  the 

fntleman  seated  in  his  ofilce  with  Axn.wa  blinda. 
a  looked  very  pale  and  c^irewom,  as  if  the  shcck- 
ing  events  of  the  week  had  smitten .  him'  hard.  He 
received  Uie  reporter  courteously,  and  seemed  ready 
enough  to  converse,  but  declined  to-go  into  portica. 
lars  concerning  tbe  evidence  referred  to  in  his  card. 
Mr.  Honks  said  that  in  the  present  bitter  state  of 
pubUc  opinion  it  wotild  be  useless  to  do  more  than  to 
ask  for  a  suspension  of  judgment.  Had  his  brother 
not  token  his  life,  facts  would  have  been  brought  to 
light  on  his  trial  that  would  have  altered  the  ofpect 
of  things.  These  facts  ore  now  In  the  bonds  of  his 
lato  brother's  lawyer,  and  at  tho  proper  time  tbey 
would  be  mode  public  Mr.  Honks  would  not  even 
hint  the  nature  of  this  mysterious  information,  nov 
when  the  lawyar  wonld  consider  it  proper  to  pub'

of  collected  i>apers,  named,  respectively.  Whip 
and  Spur  and  A  Farmtr'i  Focotion.  The  arti- 
cles In  this  volume  have  been  contributed  to  the 
Atlanta  and  Seribnur^g.  They  have  to  do  with 
drainage  and  sewerage  of  country  plaoea  and  the 
question  of  making  fanning  oommnnitles  suffi- 
ciently attractive  to  the  young  people  of  both 
sexes  in  order  to  stop  in  some  degree  the  exodua 
from  agricultoral  neighborhoods  into  small 
towns  and  manufacturing  cities. 

"Village  Improvement,  Associations  "is  the 
text  for  the  first  article,  in  which  Mr.  Waring 
explains  how  villages  may  be  made  healthy  to 
tbeir  inmates  and  attractive  to  tourists.  He 
describes  with  the  aid  of  diagrams  cheap 
methods  of  obtaining  dry  paths  and  soUd  roads, 
and  cites  the  example  of  Stockbridge  and  Lenox, 
Mass.,  to  enforce  hia  theories.  Children  are  in-

form will  be  found  under  the  title  "The  Child 
uf  the  State,"  by  S.  A.  L.  E.  M.  It  gives  a 
Kketch  of  the  life  of  a  girl  in  the  Eeform 
School,  and  teaches  the  impossibility  of  saving 
jXirla  from  a  life  of  degradation  under  the  ex- 
isting system.  The  contrast  between  tho 
chances  of  reformation  offered  to  boys  and  that 
offered  to  girla  is  brought  out  with  some  bltter- 
aess,  as  if  the  writer  were  a  strong  believer  in 
the  further  emancipation  of  women.  David  S.

The  poetry  of  the  month  is  of  a  decidedly

the  great  cost  of  keeping  them  in  repair.  The 
widest  roads  in  the  Island  of  Jersey,  leading 
from  a  town  of  30,000  inhabitants  into 
a  thickly-settled  farming  region,  where 
business  and  pleasure  travel  is  very  ac- 
tive, and  where  "excursion  cars"  carry- 
ing 30  or  40  persons  are  constantly  passing, 
are  only  24  feet  wide ;  often  only  of  this  width 
between  the  hedge-rows,  the  road  itself  being 
an  excellent  foot-path  for  its  whole  width. 
''  Nowhere  else  in  the  world  is  the  run^  charm 
more  perfectly  developed  than  in  Jersey,  and  no 
element  of  its  great  beauty  is  so  conspicuous  and 
so  constantly  satisfactory  as  its  narrow  and  em- 
bowered lanes  and  roadways."  The  draining  of 
roads  is  described  at  some  length,  a  tile  drain 
of  small  diameter  being  used  in  preference,  in 
order  that  the  water  shall  Sow  fast  through  it. 
Mr.  Waring  inveighs  against  the  practice  of

"TheSUver  Bridge."  Catherine  J.  Schiller  is

the  confines  ot  space  and  in  the  abode  of  chaos. 
In  the  Contributors'  Club  an  amateur  critic 
Traces  the  resemblances,  and  points  out  the  dif- 
ferences, between  Tennyson's  ''Talking  Oak" 
and  Drayton's  "  Guest  of  Cynthia."  Another 
raises  a  scornful,  and  justly  scornful,  blast  at 
"JiePost  Office  Department,  which  refuses  to  ac- 
cept manuscript  for  magazines  as ' '  author's  MS. " 
if  the  quantity  ia  not  sufficient  for  a  whole  book, 
letter  rates  have  to  be  paid.  There  is  a  pecu- 
liarly American  moral  in  this,  which  the  con- 
tributor has  been  too  patriotic  to  notice  sharply. 
Bulk  and  quantity  is  put  at  a  higher  value  than 
quality,  for  the  low  rate  on  book  MS.  is  sup- 
posed to  be  an  encouragement  to  literature. 
■"'  Now  I  5nggest,"  says  this  contributor,  "  that 
xhe  poetal  alma  be  taken  away  from  books,  and 
conferred  upon  magazine  articles,  or,  better 
Ktill,  that  the  whole  law  be  routed  and  scouted 
from  the  statutes,  to  the  end  that  the  United 
States  Government  may  be  estopped  from  glori- 
Sfying itself  any  longer  over  its  charity  to  au- 
thors— a  charity,  indeed,  which  is,  like  all  its 
generosities  toward  literature,  a  sham." 


THE  POPCLAB  SCIEXCE    MOXTHLT. 

— The  most  popular  paper  in  the  Septem- 
Iwr  number  of  this  magazine  is  that  oil  "Odd 
?orms  among  Pishes,"  by  Prof.  Sanborn  Ten- 
2iey,  There  is  little  more  than  a  numing  com- 
mentary of  the  illustratioDS,  which  give  a  num- 
.'bcr  of  singular  fish  from  all  latitudes.  It  is  an 
aquarium  on  paper.  Prom  the  Archiva  its  Mis- 
xiaiu  Sdentiflqiiea  the  editor  has  taken  and  trans- 
lated a  report  of  Prof.  Q.  Rayet  on  the  observa- 
-ions  of  Naples.  This  is  meant  to  give  the 
.Amatican  public  some  idea  of  the  progress  in 
jjftaly  on  one  more  line  of  scientific  research, 
^ature  is  levied  upon  for  an  interesting  paper 
on  the  form  of  drops  of  liquid,  the  materials  ex- 
rjeiimented  upon  being  mercury  and  milk.  Their 
.shape  is  seen  by  the  instantaneous  flash  of  elec- 
ijricity  and  the  material  on  which  they  fall  is 
glass  blackened  by  lampblack.  J.  N.  Lamed 
uontributea  an  essay  entitled  "  Civilization  and 
Morals."  He  discovers  only  four  absolute  qual- 
ities in  human  conduct  that  are  simple  and  rad- 
ical, while  he  traces  to  the  relationships  out 
of  which  they  arise  a  few  of  the  numer- 
ous qualities  that  are  composite  or  derived. 
The  four  radical  qualitiea  are  divided  into  two 
of  the  peraonal  order — courage  and  truthfulness, 
und  two  of  the  social  order — benevoleucej  and 
justice.  Composite  qualities  are  then  taken  Mf, 
and  a  distinction  drawn  between  the  phases  of 
morality  in  former  times  and  now.  He  inclines 
ro  the  opinion,  without  wishing  to  be  responsible 
for  it  as  a  statement,  that  our  modem  civiliz%- 
-Jon  has  advanced  the  race  but  little  in  moral 
discipline,  whatever  may  have  been  its  gains  in 
2noral  knowledge.  "Does  it  Take  Time  to

road. 

A  paper  on  "'VUlage  Sanitary  Work"  goes 
into  the  question  of  economical  sewerage.  The 
alternative  allowed  by  Mr.  Waring  is  between 
the  use  of  water  and  earth  closets.  Where  wa- 
ter cannot  be  supplied  earth  must  be  used.  He 
claims  to  have  discovered  that  finely  pulverized 
earth  can  be  used  again  and  again  as  a  disin- 
fectant without  bad  results,  so  that  fresh 
supplies  of  earth  are  not  neeeasasy  where 
there  is  time  allowed  for  the  chemical 
action  to  take  place.  The  papers  on 
" Farm  ■Villages "  and  the  "Life  and  "Work  of 
the  Eastern  Farmer "  have  been  suggested  by 
the  increasing  difBculty  of  manning  farms  with 
capable  and  intelligent  natives.  The  rush  to 
factories  and  railroads  is  sought  to  be  hindered 
by  doing  away  with  some  of  the  most  dismal 
features  ot  country  life,  the  want  of  sociability 
resulting  from  isolation.  To  remedy  this  Mr. 
Waring  proposes  an  approach  to  the  European 
mode  of  farming,  whore  the  laborers  ^ve  close 
together  and  scatter  to  their  daily  work.  Sev-  ■ 
eral  diagrams  give  a  theoretical  community 
which  shall'  have  all  the  benefits  of  a  village 
with  the  closeness  to  the  field  of  work  of  ordi- 
nary farms.  Such  schemes  are  of  course  purely 
speculative,  but  they  serve  a  purpose  in  showing 
how  beginnings  mightbe  made  and  settlements 
begun,  which,  after  a  certain  number  of  years, 
might  grow  into  the  full-blown  result.  It  is  at 
any  rats  an  attempt  to  solve  a  very  serious 
question  on  which  the  future  of  the  United 
States  may  some  day  depend.  Lack  of  farm 
hands  means  increased  price  for  food,  and  a  full 
farming  popolatiou  cheap  living,  not  to  speak 
of  the  moral  and  political  strength  of  a  country 
which  possesses  many  contented  husbandmen. 
What  Mr.  Waring  says  of  the  rural  diatricts  of 
Rhode  Island  ia  equally  applicable  to  New- 
York  State.  If  farm-houses  could  be  built 
within  short  distances  of  each  other,  the  women 
and  young  people  of  both  sexes  would  be  m.uch 
more  contented  with  their  lot,  for  neighbor- 
hood would  give  rise  to  something  like  the 
happiness  that  ^e  sees  among  the  peasants  of 
Europe  when  they  return  from  the  fields  to  their 
bare  but  cheerful  homes.

— The  August  number  of  the  Evolvtio*  con- 
tains a  poem  by  George  Edgar  Montgonimery  called 
"  The  Song  of  Hope."  This  is  said  to  be  the  first  of 
a  aeries  by  the  same  hand. 

— George  MacDonald  haa  a  great  sympathy 
with  children,  notwithstanding  his  immense  family, 
and  soma  of  his  happiest  writings  have  been  for 
javenile  andiences.  He  begins  a  new  stonr  for  chil- 
dren in  the  September  nomber  of  &t,  HieholaM. 

— ^Mrs.  Burnett,  whose  Laaa  of  Lowrit'a  haa 
been  dramatized  for  the  Bnglish  stage,  contrllmtes  a 
short  story  to  the  September  Seritmer.  She  is  said 
to  be  at  work  on  a  new  novel  for  the  same  magazine, 
which  will  prevent  further  work  in  her  shorter  vein 
for  some  time  to  come. 

— 'William  E.  Marshall,  the  draughtsman  of 
the  colossal  head  of  Christ,  Inteods  to  make  an  oil. 
painting  ot  the  drawing,  and,  after  exhibiting  it  at 
the  Paris  Expositioa.  to  prepare  a  large  engraving  of 
his  wori:.  Mr.  Marshall  has  been  revolving  this  sub- 
ject in  his  mind  for  a  long  period,  and  wiihes  to 
make  the  head  of  Christ  his  masterpiece. 

In  the  August  numl>er  of  TempU  Bar  may  be 
found  a  quite  indifferent  story,  entitled  "Krin,"  of 
which  plot  and  incidents  are  entirely  filched  from  A 
Somanee  of  a  Poor  Young  Man.  If  such  literary 
piigginig  should  be  censured  it  might  be  remarked 
that  the  reading  of  the  editor  of  TempU  Bar  most  be 
quite  limited,  otherwise  the  detection  of  such  a  down- 
right steal  from  Octave  Fenillot  could  hardly  havo 
escaped  his  notice. 

— The  Sadical  Seviae  is  a  neatly  printed  oc-

It  was  manifest '  to  all  when  Ur. 
Hayes  waa  inaugurated  that  aomething  was 
Ui  be  done  to  change  the  condition  of 
things  in  the  South,  and  to  remove  thence 
all  causes  of  complaint,  imaginary  and 
utterly  unfounded  as  most  of  those  alleged 
causes  were.  President  Hayes  was  committed 
to  do  something,  and  when  he  came  into  the 
Presidency  the  wisest  of  his  friends  were  stag- 
gered to  determine  what  that  something  should 
be.  If  I  had  been  one  of  his  Cabinet — had  been 
called  upon  to  advise — I  certainly  should  not  have 
advised  the  abandonment  of  South  Carolina  and 
Louisiana  in  the  manner  in  which  it  was  done, 
because  I  know  the  South  better  than  did  the 
President,  from  an  experience  extending  back 
before  his  birth,  and  have  no  faith  in  Hampton 
and  Nicholls  and  their  immediate  followers. 
But  the  President  believed  in  their  premises, 
and  entertained  the  most  profound  conviction 
that  what  he  did  was  demanded  by  his 
pledges  during  the  campaign,  and  was  calcu- 
lated to  pacify  the  South  and  remove  all  causes 
for  continued  irritation.  He  acted  from  the 
pnreat  and  most  patriotic  motives,  and  from  his 
stand-point,  and  with  his  convictions,  he  coulti 
not  have  acted  differently  from  what  he  did.  I 
therefore  approve  of  his  action,  although  I 
donbted  the  wisdom  of  what  hog  been  done. 
The  result  remains  to  been  seen.  But  what- 
ever that  result,  the  act  belongs  to  the  past,  and 
the  motives  which  prompted  it,  being  conceded 
on  all  hands  to  have  been  pure  and  patriotic,  the 
Republican  Party  cannot  fail  to  indorse  and  sus- 
tain it  I  admire  the  fearlessness  and  inde- 
pendence which  prompted  it 

The  greatest  blot  upon  our  political  history, 
and  the  great  source  of  political  corruption 
in  the  administration  of  public  affairs,  is 
to  be  found  in  the  degrading  declaration, 
first  made  by  the  Administration  of  Gen. 
Jackson,  in  1829,  that  "  to  the  victors  be- 
long the  spoils  of  of&ce."  Acting  upon  that  un- 
principled declaration,  Gen.  Jackson,  under 
pressure  from  his  political  friends,  witiun  three 
mouths  after  his  inauguration,  removed  from 
.  office  more  oficials  than  had  been  pre-riously  re- 
moved during  the  Administrations  of  Washing- 
ton, the  elder  Adams,  Jefferson,  Madison,  3{on- 
roe,  and  John  Quincv  Adams  !  And  from  that 
day  till  the  present  tune  the  office-holders,  the 
employes  of  the  Government,  or  at  least  that 
portion  of  them  who  are  the  mere  creatures  of 
the  political  demigodsof  the  country,  have  been 
paid  by  every  Administration,  with  the  ''spoils  of 
oflice,'  to  do  the  work  of  those  in  power,  without 
the  slightest  regard  to  their  fitness  to  discharge 
the  duties  of  the  places  to  which  they  have  been 
appointed.  It  would  be  idle  to  enlarge  upon  the 
almost  univer.'ial  corruption  which  has  flowed 
from  this  great  and  crying  evil  in  our  political 
system.  It  has  demoralized  the  bodv  politic, 
has  cost  the  people  of  the  United  States  untold 
millions,  and  has  been  a  stigma  and  disgrace 
upon  our  Republican  institutions.  For  more 
than  a  quarter  of  a  century  I  advocated,  in  the 
Courier  and  Enquirer,  not  only  all  that  Presi- 
dent Hayes  has  fearlessly  ventured  to  proclaim 
as  a  principle  of  his  Administration,  but  I  went 
further,  and  insisted  that  persons  holding  office 
under  the  National  Government  should  not, 
while  in  office,  be  permitted  to  exercise  the 
elective  franchise. 

The  great  and  much-needed  reform  introduced 
by  President  Hayes,  which  simply  prohibits  the 
office-holders  of  the  General  Government  from 
taking  an  active  part  in  elections,  while  it  in  no 
way  interferes  with  their  right  to  vote,  or  with 
the  expression  of  their  political  oninions.  is  op- 
posed on  the  ground  of  its  hardship  in  depriv- 
ing the  employes  of  the  Government  of  their 
inherent  freedom  of  action.  This  is  simply 
ridiculous.  The  President  says — and  I  trust 
Congress  will  by  statute  confirm  his  action, 
,  and  secure  to  all  the  employes  of  the  General 
'  Government  permanency  in  their  places — "  The 
Government  requires  the  services  of  faithful 
agents  in  the  administration  of  affaire,  and  to 
secure  the  discharge  of  .the  duties  required  of 
such  agent.M  it  has,  in  most  case.s.  prescribed  the 
hours  of  labor,  &<*.,  and  it  also  deems  it  expedi- 
ent tlmt  such  agents  should  uot  interfere  with, 
or  take  an  active  part  in,  elections.  On  these 
conditions,  and  without  regard  to  your  political 
opinions,  you  are  appointed  to  fill  a  certain 
omce,  which  we  intend  you  shall  hold  during 
g^od  behavior,  provided  you  preve  yourself 
qualified  for  the  discharge  of  its  duties."  There 
ia  no  obligation  on  any  person  to  accept  of 
office. 

The  conditions  and  restrictions  upon  the 
place  offered  are  clearly  stated,  and  are  such  as 
the  party  offering  it  iioems  expedient  for  the 

Sublic  welfare  and  a  faithful  discharge  of  the 
uties  of  the  place,  and  it  is  entirely  optional 
with  the  party  desiring  or  seeking  the  place  to 
accept  or  reject  it  with  the  conditions  attached. 
Every  man  in  business  prescribes  such  rules  and 
regulations  for  the  guidance  of  his  employes  as 
in  his  judgment  bis  interests  render  necessary. 
And  so  with  regard  to  the  General  Government 
Persons  are  appointed  to  office  to  discbarge  the 
duties  appertaining  to  the  places  they  are  to 
fill,  and  it  is  incumbent  upon  the  Government 
to  prescribe  those  duties  and  to  attach  such  con- 
uitlons  to  their  performance  as  it  may  think 
proper.  If  such  duties  and  conditions  are  not 
acceptable  to  the  parties  seeking  such  places, 
they  are  at  liberty  to  reject  them,  and  thus  they 
preserve  their  free  agency,  precisely  as  in  the 
practice  of  every  day  life,  between  employere  and 
employed.  1  have  not  yet  met  with  an  intelli- 
gent man  in  or  out  of  office— no  matter  what  his 
politics — who  does  not  cordially  approve  of  this 
measure  of  reform  in  our  civil  service  ;  and  not 
only  will  the  people  of  both  great  political  par- 
ties give  it  their  sanction,  but  they  will  demand 
from  Congress  the  passage  of  a  law  securing  to 
all  the  subordinates  of  the  Government  perma- 
nency in  their  places  so  long  as  they  faithfully 
discharge  their  duties  and  prove  themselves 
qualifled  for  the  positions  to  which  they  have 
been  appointed. 

"The  New-Yokk  Times  in  1873  published 
an  article  on  the  currency,  from  my  pen, 
headed,  "  An  Old  Editor's  views,"  in  which  I 
took  ground  against  the  theories  of  both  politi- 
cal parties,  and  advocated  the  establishment  of 
a  system  of  currency  in  which  gold,  silver,  and 
greenbacks  should  constitute  the  circulating 
mediums,  and  repudiating  a  return  to  the  old 
system  of  specie  payments.  Events  have 
proved  that  I  was  correct  in  what  I  wrote  and, 
subsequently,  elaborated  in  a  letter  to  Mr.  Mel- 
lish,  dated  Sice,  France,  _April  10,  1874.  In 
that  letter  I  said  : 

"  It  required  no  great  p*ilitical  foresight  to  perceive 
that  any — ^the  slightest — attempt  to  change  our  legis- 
lation  m  regarti  to  the  currency,  would  necessarily 
prx>duc«  all  kinds  of  Imprncticable  schemes,  both  by 
the  bulhonists  and  inllatiu:iists;  and,  consequently, 
if  I  had  been  honored  with  a  seat  in  Conirress,  I 
shoald  have  contented  myself  with  offering  u  bill  re- 
qniiing  the  Government  to  receipt  greenbacks  in  pay. 
ment  of  all  diut,  and  the  iubgtxtution  o/U»  own  jnoney 
/or  the  bHU  of  the  national  bankt.  And,  therefore,  it 
it  waa  in  the  thorough  conviction  that  we  art-  on  the 
right  track,  and  that  drcumstnncea  beyond  our  con- 
trol are  gradually  forcing  upon  the  public  mind  of 
the  United  Stat^^,  and  upon  the  most  intelligent  and 
best  thinker«  of  Europe,  the  aU-important  fact  that 
ours  ia  the  beginning  of  the  best  tinanciftl  system  in 
the  worM,  I  was  Induced  to  say,  let  well  enough  alone, 
or  in  other  words  : 

"  We,  thank  God!  thronghonr  tariff,  have  brought 
our  imports  to  a  point  where  they  are  fully  paid  for 
by  our  exports ;  and  if  we  can,  by  preserving  our 
tariff,  continue  to  )}e  a  creditor  instead  of  a  debtor 
nation,  there  can  l>e  no  doubt  that  gold  will  be  of  the 
same,  and  very  frequently  of  loss,  value  thnn  paper. 
No  resumption  would  be  called  for.  To  produce  sncli  a 
result  no  legislation  whatever  is  necessary,  unless 
it  be  to  increase  our  tariff  on  manufactures  wliich  are 
the  products  ot  pauper  labor,  and  against  which  onr 
free,  intelligent,  and  well-paid  labor  caimot  contend. 
Do  uot  seek  to  reduce  the  price  of  tlint  labor.  Give 
the  laborer  the  wherewith  to  pay  the  farmer  liberally 
for  ills  .-products ;  and  then  agriculture,  the  basis 
of  all  national  prosperity,  will  flouriflh.  and  of  ne- 
cessity the  cotmtrv  itself  will  continue  to  beo  pros- 
perous and  great.*" 

I  also  said : 

"If  there  be  any  wisdom  in  studying  the  past  in 
order  to  gain  instruction  in  regard  to  the  future ;  if 
man.  be  the  progressive  being  that  we  claim  him  to 
be;  if  experience  and  observation  be  leading  ele- 
ments in  the  acquisition  of  wisdom — then.  mo«t  as- 
suredly, the  present  generation  should  know  bevond 
all  peradventure  that  the  following  facts  hare  heen 
abtmdantiy  demonstrated : 

"Fint — Intrinaica;ly,  gold  is  of  little  or  no  value, 
but  has  been  rendered  necessary  to  the  commerce  of 
the  world  by  the  concerted  action  of  nations  through 
all  time,  by  which  it  lias  been  mode  the  universal 
Btatldard  of  value. 

"  Second — The  legitimate  purpose  of  gold  or  bul- 
lion ia  to  represent  by  its  value — ^tnos  arbitrarily  and 
fictitiously  fixed  by  nations — the  indebtedness  of  one 
nation  to  another ;  and  by  it«  transfer  from  the 
de&tor  to  the  creditor  nation  to  liqn^te  the 
same :  and  this  aaooiuptished,  to  antar  into  and  b«-  (

to  determine  what  siutU,  within  tu  jurisdiction,  be

and  to  create  the  same,  and  render  it,  together  with

between,  all  partiee.  Including  tho  Government  itself. 
Also,  to  guarantee  and  pledge  the  ffiith  of  the  nation 
for  the  same,  and  to  regulate  the  amount  ot  Its 
Issue,  In  order  that  It  shall,  as  far  as  practicable,  be 
on  a  par  with  the  cntrent  value  at  gold  'and  silver, 
BO  that,  together  with  gold  and  silver,  It  may  eonsti- 
tnte  the  sde  futd  exsltalvo  eiicnlating  medium  of  the 
nation." 

The  demonetization  ot  silver  by  Germany  and 
the  United  States  has  in  a  measure  rendered 
that  metal  more  unstable  in  its  value  than  for- 
merly, and  Congress  having  declared  that  the 
bonds  of  the  United  States,  principal  and  in- 
terest are  payable  in  gold  or  in  coin,  and  gold 
being  now  the  only  coin  known  to  the  nation  as 
money,"  it  follows  of  necessity  that  to  enact  that 
the  indebtedness  of  the  nation  may  be  paid  in 
silver  coin  would  be  repudiation.  Bat  silver, 
being  to  a  certain  extent  necessary 
for  the  convenience  and  prosperity  of 
the  country,  gold,  greenbacks,  and  silver 
should,  and  will  hereafter,  constitute  the  circu- 
lating medium — the  currency  of  our  nation ; 
and  therefore  I  would  have  Congress,  immedl- 
diately  upon  its  convening,  pass  a  law  ramone- 
tizlng  the  old  silver  dollar,  and  make  it  a  legal 
tender  to  the  amount  of  at  least  $3,000,  which 
in  weight  ia  more  than  a  man  can  carry,  for  all 
debts  nereafter  to  be  contracted,  whether  by 
the  Government  or  individuals. 

In  regard  to  the  law  ordering  the  Secretary  of 
the  iTreasury  to  resume  specie  payments  on 
Jan.  1,  1879, 1  was  opposed  to  the'  passage  of 
that  law  on'  the  same  principle  that  I  would 
oppose  the  enactment  of  a  law  declaring  that 
all  mankind  should  have  an  abundance  of 
food  on  that  ilay,  or  that  it  should 
be  a  sunshiny  or  rainy  day.  It  was 
simply  a  hrutem  fulmen.  No  act  of  Congress 
could  possibly  fix  a  day  whereon  our  monetary 
troubles  shotild  cease,  and  our  people  once  again 
become  prosperous  by  a  revival  of  the  national 
enterprise,  the  restoration  of  confidence,  and 
the  opening  up  of  new  avenues  of  trade.  The 
country  had  overtraded,  both  at  home  .ind 
abroad  ;  inflation  and  e.Tpansion  had  been  the 
rule  in  every  description  of  business,  and  the 
people  were  insolvent — in  debt  beyond  the  possi- 
bility of  meeting  their  indebtedness.  The 
remedy  was  bankruptcy  and  liquidation,  and 
the  evidence  of  a  return  to  solvency  would  be 
the  gradual  but  certain  advance  in  the  value  of 
the  greenback  until  it  reached  the  par 
of  gold.  Time,  therefore,  and  the  contraction 
of  business,  the  abandonment  of  useless  enter- 
prises, and  a  return  to  universal  economy  and 
unabated  labor,  were  the  only  practical  remedies 
for  the  overtrading  and  reckless  squandering  in 
which  the  whole  country  had  indulged  after  we 
had  put  down  the  rebeUlon,  and  in  doing  so  had 
expended — sunk,  as  it  were — nearly  $4,000,- 
000,000.  No  liat  of  Congress  can  remedy  the 
evils  with  which  we  have  been  struggling,  and 
It  may  well  be  questioned  whether  the  law  or- 
dering the  resumption  of  specie  payments  on 
Jan.  1,  1879.  has  not  retarded  that  measure, 
and  prevented  the  restoration  of  that  hopeful- 
ness and  confidence  so  necessary  for  a  general 
revival  of  business.  Time  and  the  operation  of 
the  tariff  have  graduallv  produced  a  more 
healthy  state  of  things.  The  premium  on  gold 
in  the  last  three  years  has  fallen  from  15  to  51^ 
per  cent,  and  if  Congress,  when  it  ordered  tlie 
country  to  resume  specie  paj-ment  in  1879,  had 
compelled  the  Government  to  receive  the  green- 
back at  its  Custom-houses  in  payment  of  duties 
on  imports,  the  greenback  would  long  since 
have  beeu  at  par,  and  gold  would  to-day  have 
been  a  nuisance  to  those  who  hold  it,  and  would 
havo  been  forced  into  the  banks  and  the  Sub-Treas- 
ury instead  of  being  worth  5^  per  cent,  more 
than  greenbacks.  The  simple  truth  is,  we  are  no 
longer  a  debtor  but  have  become  a  creditor 
country.  Our  exports  in  IS 75  exceeded  our 
imports  $120,000,000.  In  the  year  ending 
the  30th  of  June  last  our  exports  exceeded  our 
imports  nearly  $'2(M).000.000,  and  our  export 
of  specie  was  $25,000,000  le.ss  than  in  1875-6. 
while  our  production  of  the  precious  metals  was 
greater.  As  a  natural  result,  there  is  no  de- 
maud  for  gold  except  what  is  created  by  the 
unwise  legislation  or  the  country.  It  is  less  ex- 
pensive for  tho  importer  to  draw  a  bill  of  ex- 
change againf^t  our  surplus  export  of  produce 
than  to  send  to  Europe  gold,  paying  on  it 
freight  and  insurauce  ;  and  there  is  con.<^e- 
quently  no  demand  for  gold  for  that 
purpose.  But  the  Government  says,  while 
greenbacks  are  good  enough  for  the 
people  we  repudiate  them,  and  demand 
that  all  the  duties  on  imparts — amounting  to 
nearly  $150,000,000— shall  be  paid  in  gold. 
Of  course,  the  importer  is  compelled  to  buy  that 
amount  of  gold  in  Wall-.street  Hence,  gold 
is  quoted  as  worth  5^2  to  0  per  cent. 
more  than  greenbacks.  Of  course,  this  is  en- 
tirely a  fictitious  value,  and  Congress  has  only 
to  juake  duties  on  imports  payable  in  green- 
bacits,  and  within  00  days — nay.  within  a 
month — greenbacks  and  gold  will  probably  be 
vf  the  same  value.  Gold  will  be  worth  no  more 
t^ian  greenbacks,  because  these  latter  answer  all 
the  purposes  of  our  people,  while  gold  will  not 
pay  the  expenses  of  exporting  it.  and  there  is 
no  earthly  demand  for  it  in  this  country  except 
that  produced  by  the  Government  in  requiring 
gold  instead  of  greenbacks  in  the  payment  of 
duties. 

I  am  aware  that  my  tariff  friends  will  say, 
"By  receiving  greenbacks  in  payment  of  duties 
vou  at  once  reduce  the  tariff  on  all  exports, 
Big  per  cent"  1  know  it;  and  I'know,  too, 
that  it  is  the  tariff  that  has  made  us  a  cred- 
itor country,  and  which  enables  u.**  to  keep  our 
gold  at  home,  and  thus  will  enable  us  to  n^- 
deem  our  greenbacks  after  the  legislation  I  have 
indicated.  "  Specie  pavnients."  as  the  phrase  is, 
means  nothing  more  tban  placing  greenbacks 
and  gold  on  the  same  footing.  Let  the  green- 
back be  at  par  and  it  commands  gold  every- 
where on  presentation  ,  and  then,  as  it  will  not 
pay  to  export  gold,  that  metal  will  become  an 
mcumbrance  to  those  who  have  it,  and  all  the 
gold  not  constituting  a  part  of  the  cireulating' 
medium  of  the  country  will  find  its  way  into 
bank  and  Goverument  vaults. 

If  gold  be  of  no  more  value  at  home  than 
greenbacks;  and  if,  because  of  our  being  a 
creditor  nation  it  will  not  pay  for  exportation ; 
and  if,  in  consequence.  Kuropean  gold  must 
flow  toward  the  United  States  to  make  up  the 
balance  of  trade,  it  necessarily  follows  that  no- 
body can  afford  to  hoard  it,  because  gold  yields 
no  interest  It  must,  therefore,  be  Invested  in 
land,  stocks,  and  other  valuables,  and  enter  into 
the  cireulation  of  the  country,  and  all  not  re- 
quired for  currency  will  bo  held  by  Government 
and  our  banking  institutions.  The  coupons  on 
our  bouds,  although  payable  in  gold,  would  al- 
ways be  paid  in  greenbacks,  because  more  con- 
venient and  less  expensive  to  handle,  and  just 
as  valuable  as  gold  to  purchase  bills  of  exchange 
on  Europe  drawn  against  our  surplus  exportfs. 
And  thus  not  one  dollar  of  gold  would  be  used 
in  paying  the  interest  on  our  national  debt. 

In  my  letter  to  Hon.  Mr.  Mellish  1  urged  the 
necessity  of  "letting  well  enough  alone,"  and 
compelling  the  Government  to  receive  green- 
back in  payment  of  duties,  adding  I  would 
advocate ; 

"  Fir*( — Entire  acquiescence  in  the  amount  of  the 
present  volume  of  currency,  although  largely  in  ex- 
cess of  what  is  necessary. 

"  .Second — Tlie  suppression  of  all  national  bank 
notes,  in  order  that  there  may  be  but  one  description 
of  currency,  and  for  which  the  faith  of  the  nation 
and  the  property  of  the  people  would  be  pledged, 
and  which,  in  cotntnon  rrith  gold  and  tdUxr,  shall  con- 
Btitute  the  circulatiug  inedinm  of  the  couutrj*. 

"  Third — Compel  every  national  bank  to  receive 
from  50  to  90  per  cent,  of  its  capital  in  the  Govern- 
ment paper,  for  issue  and  circulation,  paying  there- 
for an  Interest  of  'Z  or  Si^  per  cent,  per  annum,  to  be 
deducted  from  the  interest  payable  on  their  United 
States  bonds  in  deposit  under  existing  laws. 

•'  Fourth — Create  as  many  national  banks  of  dis- 
count deposit,  and  exchange  as  the  cotmtry  may  de- 
mand." 

This  lart  recommendation  has  been  adopted 
by  legislation  in  its  favor,  and  now,  in  the  spirit 
of  compromise,  I  would  aidvise  the  passage  of  a 
bill  simply  promising ; 

Mrst — "That  silver  and  the  old  silver  dollar 
shall  be  remonetized  and  be  mode  a  legal  tender 
for  all  debts  hereafter  to  be  contracted,  whether 
by  Ooveruinent  or  individuals,  to  the  amount  of 
$3,000,  unless  otherwise  provided  by  contract. 
Second — That  greenback.s — Treasury  notes — 
shall  be  received  at  the  Custom-house  in  pay- 
ment of  all  duties  on  imports,  and  in  all  busi- 
ness transactions,  whether  by  the  Government 
or  the  people. 

These  simple  measures  would  verv  shortly 
place  the  greenbacks  on  a  par  with  'gold,  and 
no  other  legislation  is  neccissary  to  arrive  at 
what  ia  called  .siiecie  payments.  Such  legisla- 
tion would  not  require  any  contraction  of  the 
currency.  Do  this,  and  all  the  green'oacks  now 
temporarily  retired  would  very  rapidly  re-enter 
into  the  circul.ition  and  restore  confidence ; 
and  through  such  confidence  there  will  come  a 
general  revival  of  business  and  that  national 
prosperi-U'  for  which  we  are  all  praving.  The 
great  difficulty  is  to  pass  any  measure  of  r«lief 
tinder  the  existing  state  of  parties;  but  such  a 
law  as  I  propose  would  be  acceptable  to  the 
bullionist  because  it  would  leave  unmolested 
our  pledges  to  pay  the  national  bonds,  principal 
and  interest,  in  gold.  It  would  be  acceptable  to 
the  advocate  of  the  remonetization  of  silver, 
[lecause  it  would  somewhat  increase  our  circu- 
lating medium ;  and  it  would  please  the  free- 
trader, becauKe  it  would  at  once  constitute  a 
rwluction  of  the  tariff  from  o^j  to  C  per  cent. 
As  a  compromise,  all  parties  could  support  such 
a  measure,  and  it  is  almost  impossible  to  doubt 
its  immediate  beneficial  effects  in  restoring  the 
iiuaiaess  and  prosperity  of  the  country.

A  BAD  COUNTY  RECORD, 


TWElsTY-THBEE  MDBDEKS  IN  CAYUGA  COUKTY 
WITaiN  SIS  YEARS  AXD  OKLY  ONE  EXE- 
CUTION. 

From  the  Syracuse  Courier,  Mug-  18. 
It  would  seem  that  in  a  county  where  ia  lo- 
cated a  State  Prison  capital  crimes  would  be  of  less 
frequent  occurrence  than  in  other  counties,  but  it  is 
not  80.  For  instanee,  tbe  Anbum  Sewt  compiles  a 
list  of  Cayuga  Comity  murderers,  numberiag^  23  in 
six  years,  and  Btiya  :  *'  Som«  of  our  cotemporaxiei  of 
late  have  been  trying  to  tell  bow  -wicked  a 
county  we  are  here  in  Cayuga,  but  have  failed  to 
give  us  full  credit  or  do  justice  to  the  situation. 
As  will  be*  seen  by  the  following  list,  many  of 
tbe  murdei-ers  are  among  the  convicts  sent  into  our 
county  from  abroad,  or  are  of  the  floating:  population 
not  native  to  the  locality.  Tbe  i-ile  influences  of 
canal  life,  tlie  oHFodatlons  of  gin  nulls  and  kindred 
haunts,  are  found  also  In  the  list.  One  remarkable 
feature  in  connection  with  this  catalogue  of  blood  is 
the  fact  that  only  one  man  out  of  the  20.  and  he  a 
Legro,  has  suffered  death  by  th«  rope  for  his  crime." 
FoUowineis  the  list :

C±TA.LRX  TACTICS  IN  FRAyCS. 
Alluding  to  a  book  upon  cavalry,  just  trana- 
latcd  from  the  German  of  Major-Gon.  Carl  von 
Schmidt,  a  French  Colonel  gives  us  some  interesting 
information.  He  says  that  the  work  In  question  is 
preceded  by  a  biography  of  *'  the  second  Seidlitz  of 
the  Prussian  Army,"  and  afterward  adds  that  Oen. 
Edelsheim,  the  son-in-law  of  Field-Marshal  Ginlay,  at 
the  commencement  of  the  Italian  campaign  of  1859 
inaugurated  the  system  of  eoliunna  of  lines  and 
manceuvring  without  word  of  command,  Ac  And  it 
was  owing  to  the  intelligent  employment  of  this 
new  method  that  at  Magenta  be  was  nearly 
makine  Marshal  Canrobort  a  prisonar,  and  that 
at  SoTferino.  with  a  single  regiment,  ho  held  In 
check  for  several  hours  the  whole  porps  of  Harslial 
MacMahon,  who  thought  he  was  in  tho  presence  of 
all  the  cavalry  of  Poullly-Mensdorff.  After  the  war 
Marshal  Niel  caused  the  Edelsheioi  method  to  be 
studied,  and  in  1SG7  tbe  Sixth  Cuirassiers,  at  Mamt, 
executed  in  the  presence  of  Gen.  P*ray  evolutions  in 
Hues  of  columns  and  in  silence,  (d  la  miutte.)  The 
Inspector-General  pronounced  these  manoeuvres  to 
he  ingenlons ;  but  nothing  more  was  beard  of  them 
until  last  year,  when  they  were  adopted.  To  bring 
about  this  reform  it  required  10  years;  it  Tv-as  con- 
sldored  necessary  to  send  Gen.  Lhotte  to  Vienna  and 
to  have  a  report  drawn  up  on  the  subject  by  a  Prince 
— ^theDucde  Chartres.  "So  much  for  red  tape!'*, 
exclaims  the  Colonel. 


SIMPLICITY  OF  TURKISH  PEASAXTS. 
A  war  correspondent  writes :  "As  an  instatice 
of  the  slmplicitv^  of  these  good-natuxad  Turkish  peas- 
ants, it  may  be  m^itioned  that  in  looking  at  his  hnnt* 
iTig  watch,  my  friend,  carried  away  by  the  ebaezf ul 
atmosphere  around  him.  allowed  Wmaelf  to  perform 
the  simple  trick  by  which  so  many  tiny  English  chil- 
dren had  beeu  entertained.  He  blew  upon  the  case 
as  he  touched  the  spring  and  opened  the  watch.  The 
success  was  perfect.  A  chorus  of  wonderment 
went  up  at  tlie  skill  of  Englishmen,  who 
could  make  watches  Tvhich  opened  bv  merely 
being  blown  upon.  The  chief  man  of  _t^e  village 
huml>ly   requested   to   be    allowed    to     blow,    and 

as  Mr. held  the  watch,  of  course  it  opened,  and 

the  audience  was  convulsed  ■with  la.aghter  when  they 
saw  the  lid  strike  their  chief  sharply  on  ttie  tip  of  the 
nose.  This  is  the  simple  rural  Turk,  who,  if  be  had 
but  a  Government,  good,  bad,  or  indifferent,  (there  Is 
simply  none  for  him  now. )  would  be  one  of  the  very 
best  subjects  in  the  world.  The  whole  population 
crowded  into  the  inclosure  to  see  us  start,  and  with  a 
running  fire  of  laughter  at  the  recollection  of  tbe 
watch  trick,  and  the  emphatic  '  Pekkee '  with  which 
my  £riend  had  acoompanled  the  joke,  we  went  away

To  CV  JEditor  ofOe  Kao-  York  Tina  : 

In  a  very  snggestlTe  editorial  in  Tas  TncES 
of  the  lOth  inst.  than  were  some  forcible  ra  marks  on 
the  tyranny  of  trades-unions,  and  the  consequent  pres- 
ent lack  of  sympathy  with  the  working  men  who  now 
complain  of  their  unfortunate  condition.  The  coarse 
of  these  trades-unions  has  been  suicidal  iu  another 
recpect,  and  this  fact  has  a  strong  beaxine  on  the  pres- 
ent dullness  of  all  kinds  of  industries.  By  the  arbi- 
trary and  alto^ther  aiireasonable  interfereuee  of 
these  xinions  with  the  ordinary  laws  of  trade,  aud  by 
their  tyrannical  coercion  of  non-sjrmpathizing  work- 
men,  they  have  compelled  employers  to  secure  labor- 
saving  machinery  for  use  wherever  possible,  to  take  the 
place  of  the  hands  who  were  subject  to  tho  whims  and 
eapricei  of  anions  controlled  too  often  by  indis^Teet 
or  worthless  men.  In  America  the  ordinary  rule  of 
political  economy  has  seemed  to  be  reversed,  and  un- 
til the  panic  the  demand  appsarad  alwa>'s  to  equal 
the  supply.  The  trades-unions  thought  by  checking 
the  supply  to  increase  the  demand,  and  so  to  raisa 
wages,  or  lessen  the  hours  of  labor,  or  both.  Bat 
they  did  not  ta3ce  into  consideration  the  impxtlenee 
of  tbe  American  public,  which  must  have  its  wants 
supplied  at  once,  nor  the  inventive  ta?uUyof  ourpeo. 
pie,  which  is  always  ready  to  produce  auytKin:;  in  tbf 
way  of  labor-saviiig  machinerj'  that  will  at  the  sams 
time  increase  the  speed  of  productiyn.  Whc-n  th« 
trades-unions  disreganled  these  ob\iou!i  facts, 
they  forced  .the  manufacturers  to  substitnto 
reliable  machinery  for  unreliable  manu- 
al labor.  By  the  introdnriiou  of  this 
machinery  th©  producing  power  of  the  country  has 
been  increased  in  a  far  greater  ratio  than  the  cou- 
snmiag  power,  the  latter  being  at  the  same  tlmt 
lessened  by  the  throwing  out  of  emplo^inent  of  the 
men  for  whom  macliinrry  has  been  5ubstitut«d.  Im 
not  this  one  Important  cause  of  the  alleged  over- 
production,  and  of  the  vast  numbers  of  unemployed 
mechanics  at  the  present  time  1 

Here  are  two  illusti-atioiis  of  the  results  of  trales- 
nnJonism,  as  described  above,  taken  from  recent 
events  in  the  Citv  of  Paterson  : 

Firgt—Thc  Siiii  Tl'cotrr*.— About  1869.  the  wear* 
ing  of  broad  silks,  or  silk  dress-goods,  becan  to  t>e  a^ 
established  industrj-  in  Paters^n.  and  in  a  short  tima 
there  were  200  or  3(K)  hand-loouxs  in  operatlor, 
all  worked  by  pkiUed  weavers  from  England.  Gc^ 
many.  France,  and  Switzerland  JVfter  a  while  thesf 
men  formed  a  "silk-weavers'  union."'  through  the 
agency  of  which  they  strove  to  overturn  all  of  Adam 
Smith's  theories  about  the  laws  of  trade.  Thus,  they 
resolved  to  allow  no  apprentices,  no  women,  and  no 
boys  to  bo  taught  the  trade  in  tho  mills  where  thc-y 
(the  weaver**)  vrerv'  cmiploytHl.  In  this  maimer  they 
expected  t<»  keep  tho  sillt-weaving  bu*ilncss  of  the 
whole  United  States  under  the  rrmirol  of  their 
"union.''  Further,  these  wis^i  jiolitlcal  e''onomista 
dreaded  **overproducU*>n,"  t»>  prevfut  whi'»h  they 
decreed  that  no  weaver  should  finish  more  than  a 
certain  number  of  yards  of  silk  in  a  day.  Although 
they  were  paid  mi  much  n  yard,  and  could  malce 
from  ^  to  $6  ur  $7  a  day  by  steady- 
industry,  the  man  who  workiMl  hard  euongu 
to  earn  more  than  ^3  or  ^1  a  day 
was  rejrarded  as  little  belter  than  a  trait'»r  toward 
his  fellow-workmen.  becaiLSf"  he  showed  m-liat  they 
could  do,  aud  indirectly  opened  the  door  t<^  "over- 
production." Thus  it  btK"Aiup  a  r(*cul«r  ibhig  for 
weavers  to  quit  their  loom*  and  spend  an  hour  or 
more  at  a  time  in  some  neigh lK>ri:i;;  ftaIo>>ii.  drinking^ 
beer  and  discussing  the  tjTanny  of  (-niiilal  laid  the 
oppression  of  labor.  Their  uvowwl  purijose  in  thus 
idling  was  to  prevent  an  ■■f'verjir<>du<-tion"  of  Amer- 
ican silks,  which  they  feared  would  be  fullowwl  ,'>y  a 
reduction  in  wages.  Their  rea<:omnff  was  like  tliU: 
"If  the  demand  for  American  l.roH.t-siTks  is  ^.i.ftOO.- 
OOO  per  year,  that  will  avi-erage  ?»f»i).*M>iJ  per  w«ek. 
and  under  no  circumstances  mu^t  that  weekly  n>:- 
erage  be  exceeded,  for  fear  the  market  will  1*  glut- 
ted and  the  demand  cease" — ignorin?  the  fact  tlwt 
the  demand  for  silk  is  very  irre.:ular.  and  is  gov- 
erned more  by  the  whims  of  fashion  than  by  ai'y 
certain  rules  of  trade,  and  that  pons(^«.«nily  tliB 
demand  must  be  8u][vplied  while  tbe  faaliiun  la^tA,  oc 
not  at  all. 

Of  course,  self-preservation  is  the  first  law  of 
nature.  Tbe  silk  manuf»ctnr#-rs  has  an  a^soc-iation 
to  promote  their  inter*»stis  and  it  wa*i  only  natural 
that  tbe  weavers  should  combine  to  protect  their  own 
welfare.  But  their  methods  wt-re  erroneou.**  raid  lt>d 
.to  precisely  the  disa-nmus  rf.^nlis  they  sought  in 
avoid.  BLad  they  actod  ivjtii  moderation,  aud  with  a 
moiety  of  the  ability  they  showt*d  at  their  luoms, 
there  would  have  been  2,0{W)  looms  and  ns  many 
skilled  broad-silk  weavers  in  Paterson  today,  and  al! 
at  work.  The  arbitrary'  course  of  their  tntde.* -union, 
rontrollad  as  it  was  by  a  U-w  hothoatied  iiuprac- 
tic.ibles,  created  such  an  autaconisoi  betwticn  iKbor 
and  capital  that  the  manufacturers  were  led  to 
believe  that  the  siJk  wearing  industry  in  Araeidra 
must  come  to  an  untimelv  end  unle.*^!!  it 
found  some  more  reliable  d»?pcndency  thuit  wurk- 
men  dictated  to  by  such  "unions."  After  a  large 
expenditure  of  time,  skill,  and  mouov.  power-lii.iun 
were  produced,  which  were  couiplottly  satisfactor>*. 
The  application  of  !>team-powcr  to  the  li>oms  wa« 
verj-  expensive,  aud  many  manuf.nftnrcrs  jtrcforrvd 
hand-loom  goods,  but  they  were  roustrained  in  self- 
defense  to  adopt  power-looms,  opt-rated  by  women 
and  bo\"s,  who  never  tarjke.  Tlte  i>rodnctiun  is  thtin 
placed  *  entirely  within  the  control  of  the  manu- 
facturers. It  16  said  that  there  is  mjw  scarcely  a 
journeyman  broad-silk  weaver  employe*!  on  a  hand- 
loom  in  a  Paterson  mill,  where  at  one  time  there 
were  300  or  400.  They  were  afmid  of  "overpro- 
duction." Kow  the  Paterson  mills  produce  five 
tinieG — ^perbapa  10  time^; — tlie  quantity  of 
broad-silks  they  made  theu.  but  the  broid-silk  weav- 
ers of  the  past  have  no  part  in  this  "  overproduc- 
tion."' By  the  ill-advised  cour.-^e  of  tlxeir  trades- 
union,  in  endeavoringtoartiticiallyregulateihe  course 
of  trade  and  to  chanae  the  oi>cratiou  of  the  laws  of 
supply  and  demand.tLe  broad-silk  weavers  have  been 
thrown  out  of  work  or  forced  into  unfongpniiil  occu- 
pations, and  the  veiy  "overproduction"  ihev  po 
much  dreaded  has  been  rendered  possible  by  the  ass 
of  improved  machinery  in  lieu  of  manual  labor. 

Second — Tlte  £ Atermaker-. — Six  or  eisht  years 
ago.  when  the  locomotive  business  wns  at  the  height 
of  its  prosperity  in  Paterson.  and  the  three  establiah* 
ments  in  the  city  were  turning  nut  eiebt  or  ten  en- 
gines per  week,'  the  boilermaker*  earned  Sti  to  S3 
or  $10  a  dav — not  excessive  pay.  when  the  laborious 
character  ot  the  \vork  was  r«>usi JereiL  They  formed 
a  "union.'' resolved  to  allow  no  apprentices,  occa- 
sionally "struck  "  for  Iiigher  wage.-*,  or  some  coveted 
privilege,  and  peneraliy  mntnilled  the  whole  basi- 
ness,  as  of  (*ourEe  nothing  could  be  ilona  if  boilers 
were  not  forthcoming  for  the  lowmotives  ordered. 
One  of  the  manuCacturers.  after  two  or  thre*  stub- 
bom  contests  with  his  boiler- makers,  determined  to 
become  independent  of  Ihenu  and.  after  spending 
thousands  of  dollars  iu  experiments  secured  a  ma- 
chine driven  by  steami»ower  to  do  the  riveting  for- 
merly done  solely  by  hand.  This  mtichine.  operated 
by  two  ordinary  m<m,  took  the  place  of  a  d'teen 
boiler-makers  at  .$S  jier  day.  Four  or  five  .^uch  ma- 
chines would  supplant  a  whole  shoiif  ul  of  skilled  mo- 
chanicj :  and  they  never  strike  for  hi;.'her  wji^",'?- 

Walklng  the  streets  of  J*atcrson  are  wnrtl..-. 
skilled  broad-silk  weavers  who  havo  not  worked  12 
months  at  their  trade  in  four  or  rive  years,  simply 
because  mill-owners  place  so  itrj'^h  fiSore  rcliuuce 
upon  power  l^ms  operated  by  a  <  ht-is  of  hands  who 
never  strike,  l^talwart.  solK?r  boiler-maker*,  who 
formerly  made  $8  a  day.  an*  j:ow  izhul  to  be  favored 
with  a  job  "  on  tlie  corjHfraiion"  jtt  $1  a  day. 

Both  tiiese  results  are  Unre'y  «ln<-  to  tht»  unwise 
course  of  tbe  trades-unions  in  the  puKt.  Other  cities 
throughout  the  countr>'  have  had  the  same  espe* 
rience.  Everj-waore  the  tjTouTiy  of  trades  unions- 
has,  after  a  while,  led  to  the  adoption  uf  iinprovc.-4 
machinery,  throwing  out  of  employment  the  very 
men  who  fancied  they  could  control  the  ludtutrles  of 
the  country. 

The  obvious  lesson  of  it  all  is  tliat  while  trades  unioni 
mav  have  some  good  features,  they  had  better  not 
meddle  w^th  the  natural  laws  of  supply  and  d-mwid.

My  attention  has  been  called  to  a  Washington 
dispatcSi  that  appeared  in  your  pap'*r  of  this  morn- 
ing, in  which  some  very  severe  charges  are  made 
agunst  the  administration  of  the  Appraiser's  De- 
partment in  this  city.  I  am  indispost-d  to  reply  to 
any  charges  that  may  be  made  iu  the  absence  of  the 
Commissioner  a  report.  Charges  somewhat  simihrr 
in  character— probably  from  the  same  source — hav- 
ing appeared  m  one  of  our  morning  papers  a  few 
days  smce,  our  sugar  importers,  without  exception, 
addressed  me  a  letter,  of  which  the  inclosed  is  a  ver-

further.  >-•  B.  MOuRE.

The  cause  and  probable  coiise<iueii(;es  of 
file  American  strikes  are  being  generally 
discussed  in  Europe,  and  especially  in 
France.  There  the  disgraceful  scenes  of 
violence  at  Pittsburg,  Baltimore,  Buffalo, 
and  Chicago,  and  the  incendiarism  and  pil- 
lage at  Pitt.fburg,  are  seized  upon  by  the 
Monarchist  audlinpeiialist  papers  as  a  proof 
of  the  anarchy  which  must  follow  the  adop- 
tion of  extreme  liberal  ideas.  It  is  asserted 
by  some  of  the  Kepublican  wTiter.s.  warm 
friends  of  the  United  States  and  well  in- 
formed regarding  our  affairs,  that  notMug 
has  yet  occurred  which  has  given  so 
much  comfort  to  the  reactionary  party,  or 
^■which  has  done  them  so  much,  service  in 
the  pending  campaign.  Naturally,  the  Com- 
munistie  doctrines  which  found  expression 
among  American  workmen  at  the  time  of 
the  strike  receive  au  exaggerated  impor- 
tance in  the  minds  of  French  writei-s.  The 
ze.ulot3  who  thought  the  moment  to  preach 

Socialism  was  the  moment  when  those  who 
own  and  earn  the  least  wer-?  plundering 
and  despoiling  their  fellow-citizens  and  fel- 
low-workmen, may  take  some  comfort  in 
knowing  that  their  idiocy  has  helped  the  re- 
actionary- party  iu  France-  That  party  cer- 
tainly represents  all  the  persons  in  that 
Country  who  really  desire   to  oppress  labor, ^ 

and  their  saeees.s  would  be  a  gciiuine  mis- 
tortime  to  the  cause  of  libertv. 


IZlie  correspondence  from  Shumla,  which 
■we  publish  this  morning,  contains  some  in- 
teresting information  concerning  tho  change 
ID  the  eommandof  the  Turkish  iVrmies  which 
tt'placed  ^iBDfi,  Kekim  liy  Mehemkt  All 
Xt  is  a  little  curious  that  the  latter  should  be 
te  German  by  birth,  and  a  descendant  of  one 
of  the  Protestant  families  driiren  out  of 
Prance  by  the  revocation  of  the  -Edict  of 
Nantes.  The  new  Commander-in-Chief 
shows  all  the  decision,  courage,  and 
executive  ability  of  his  race,  but 
the  work  ho  is  engaged  in  is 
not  such  as  would  be  supposed  to  be  attrac- 
tive to  a  descendant  of  the  Ilugueliots.  The 
ineidents  attending  Mehemet's  transfer  to 
BHprome  command  read'  like  a  chapter  from 
the  Arabian  Nitjhti,  and  we  can  almost 
'magiuohis  unfortunate  predecessor  being 
tumbled  into  the  Bosphorus  some  fine  Au- 
gust morning,  with  a  bow-string  about  his 
neck  and  a  stone  tied  to  his  heels,  while 
Herr  Detroit,  alias  Mehemet,  comes  home 
victorious  to  have  his  pick  of  the  Sultan's 
darighters  and  to  bask  for  life  in  the  sun- 
Bb  ine  of  the  Paiiisha's  smile.  But  there  are 
adventurers  of  the  same  kind  on  the  Bussiau 
kide  who  may  interfere  with  this  part  of  the 
4ream. 


Our  ■Washington  dispatches  give  some 
Illustrations  of  the  unfortunate  result  of  the 
attempt  to  keep  the  colored  soldiers  in  the 
Federal  Army  by  themselves.  Why  the 
»ttempt — which  is  only  partial — ^has  been 
made,  it  is  diffienlt  to  say ;  but  whatever  its 
motive,  it  has  proved  very  unpleasant  for 
the  officers.  The  scheme  of  separate 
colored  regiments  was  an  absurd  piece  of 
weakness  at  best.  If  the  negroes  were  to 
be  admitted  to  the  Army  at  all  there  was  no 
reason  why  they  should  not  have  been 
placed  on  the  seune  footing  as  the  other 
soldiers.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  officers 
would  not  object  to  this  arrangement,  and 
that  a  similar  one  is  carried  out  without 
•mbarcassment  in  the  Navy. 

The- statistics  of  exi>orts  of  meat  and  live 
Stock  from  the  United  States  to  Euroi)e  con^ 
tinne  to  be-enfioaraging,  aa  also  do  those  of 
the  exporta  of  butter  and  cheese.  Since  the 
1st  of  Jaomary  we  have  sent  to  Ebaglish 
'  ports  69,445,490  potmda  of  fresh  beef, 
•gainst  19,990,896  pounds  during  the  same 
\iiam  %  year  aoo. .  Of  this  amomit  54,746.- 


280  pounds  went  from  Kew-Tork,  13,403,- 
610  from  Philadelphia,  and  an  inconsidera- 
ble quantity  from  Portland  and  Boston.  The 
value  of  the  beef  was  $6,941,599,  against 
only  $1,755,191  last  year.  The  shipments 
of  mutton  are  not  large,  but  are 
a  gain.  The  value  of  all  the  ex- 
ports this  year  is  $8,185,030,  acainst 
$1,755,191  last  year.  There  is  every  rea- 
son to  suppose  that,  with  prudent  manage- 
ment and  the  same  care  that  has  so  far  been 
shown  in  keeping  np  the  quality  and  good 
condition  of  the  meat,  this  branch  of  trade 
will  soon  become  of  prime  importance.  The 
statistics  of  butter  and  cheese  exports  from 
the  1st  of  May  show  6,031,353  pounds  of 
butter  this  year  to  1,846,149  last  year,  and 
52,667,743  pounds  of  cheese  to  43,442,- 
179  last  year.  The  prices  do  not  vary  ma- 
terially. The  new  year  has  now  just  opened 
for  this  line  of  business,  and  the  prospect  of 
a  very  large  yield  is  flattering. 


There  is  rapidly  extending  over  the  coun- 
try between  Brooklyn  and  Coney  Island  a 
net-work  of  railways  on  which  trains  run 
very  frequently,  with  heavy  loads  and  often 
at  high  speed.  The  oldest  of  these  lines, 
which  starts  from  Green-Wood,  and  is 
called,  we  believe,  the  Prospect  Part  and 
Coney  Island  Railway,  carries  great  num- 
bers of  passengers,  and  has  made  a  great 
deal  of  money  for  its  owners.  It  ought  to 
be  improved  in  some  important  rejpects. 
The  road  cost  comparatively  little  to  build, 
there  being  almost  no  grading,  and  the  ma- 
terial used,  both  ties  and  rails,  being  light. 
The  rolling  stock  is  also  very  light.  When 
the  up  trains  are  heavy  the  small  engines 
find  it  very  difficult  to  pull  them  up  the 
steep  grade  before  going  into  the  depot,  and 
to  overcome  this  they  run  at  a  very  high 
rate  of  speed  before  reaching  the  foot  of  the 
hill — a  rate  altogether  higher  than  seems 
either  pleasant  or  safe  for  passengers.  This 
would  be  obviated  by  the  use  of  heavier  en- 
gines, or  by  using  more  of  those  now  em- 
ployed. None  of  the  lines,  so  far  as  we 
have  observed,  use  air  brakes  or  patent 
buffer  platforms.  They  ought  all  to  use 
them,  and  to  come  to  a  full  stop  before  pass- 
ing junctions,  which  are  numerous.  If 
these  precautions  are  not  taken  in  time,  wo 
.shall,  sooner  or  later,  have  a  fearful  loss  of 
life  on  some  of  these  roads. 


WORK  OF  TBE  RESUMPTION  ACT. 

It-woal4b6  tedious  and  useless  to  compute 
in  howtoaiiiy  platforms — of  greenbackers, 
currency  reformers,  labor  leagues,  and  soft- 
money  semi-lunatics  of  various  stripes — the 
Kesumption  act  has  been  denounced  and  its 
repeal  "  demanded."  Suffice  it  to  say  that 
there  is  hardly  a  man  in  the  country,  out- 
side the  ranks  of  the  uncompromisuig  re- 
siimptionists.  who  has  failed  to  abuse  that 
act,  generally  because  it  sets  a  fixed  date 
for  resumption,  and  always  because  of  the 
dreadful  contraction  of  the  currency 
it  has  produced.  To  this  contraction 
the  Greenbacker  ascribes  not  only 
the  break-down  of  1S73,  but  every 
form  of  trouble  since.  If  failures  increase, 
if  business  becomes  further  depressed  in- 
stead of  reviving,  if  laborers  are  out  of  em- 
plojineut  and  assail  the  railroads,  if  tho 
grasshopper  and  potato-bug  are  ntmpant, 
if  the  weather  goes  wrong,  and  either  burus 
away  or  Jrowns  out  the  crops,  if  his  cow 
"  holds  up  ■'  her  milk,  or  his  roof  blows  off, 
or  his  most  matroxUy  hen  produces  only  one 
chicken  out  of  thirteen  eggs,  or  his  affianced 
elopes  with  another  man,  or  his  new  meer- 
schaum refuses  to  color — whatever  thing 
is  wrong,  the  average  Greenbacker 
ascribes  it  instantly  to  contraction.  The 
Besiunption  act,  to  him,  realizes  the  sav- 
ages' notion  of  an  eclipse,  a  dragon  gradu- 
ally swallowing  the  sun.  He  clothes  him- 
self figuratively  in  sackcloth,  and  goes  about 
crying,  "Woe I  Woe!"  increasing  his  vehe- 
mence as  1879  draws  near.  Real  estate 
has  lost  all  value,  and  the  end  of  all  things 
is  near  ;  nevertheless,  he  holds  fast  to  what- 
ever he  possesses,  and  vents  himself  in 
groaning  contortions.  If  he  owns  a  news- 
paper—and notiijng  delights  him  so  much 
as  owning  one — he  stands  on  his  head, 
and  in  that  inverted  position  belchos 
forth  inverted  facts  and  figures,  inverted 
ideas,  and  inverted  logic.  The  labor 
troubles  are  his  present  inspiration,  text,  and 
proofs.  For  example,  the  C-incinnati  Enquir- 
er, in  a  recent  number,  rises  and  begins  by 
saying  that  "  amid  this  terrible  trial  of  all 
business,  and  while  thousands  of  laborers, 
with  their  wives  and  children,  are  starving, 
as  the  result,  chiefly,  of  a  contraction  of  the 
currency,  the  contraction  of  tlie  currency 
goes  pitilessly  on  at  the  rate  of  millions 
per  month  ;  the  house  is  burning,  and  John 
SHERM.VN  is  pouring  on  coal-oil."  The  article, 
whose  brevity  is  its  best  quality,  concludes 
with  this  horrifying  shriek  : 

".Vsidyet  now,  in  tiiis  hour  of  prostration  and 
dread,  when  the  whole  head  is  sick  and  the  whole 
heart  faint,  JOH?,'  Suebmax  is  contracting  the  cur- 
rency at  the  rate  of  $5,000,000  per  month !  Cities 
may  burn  beneath  his  eyes  becsuse  of  contraction ; 
thousands  of  families  may  starve  because  of  »)n- 
tr&cUoni  panics  may  fall  on  the  laud  like  a  poll  be- 
cause of  contraction ;  bankruptcy  may  stalk  through 
the  land,  puttinc  its  dread  finger  ou  three-fourths  of 
the  factories  and  mercantile  establishments  becaus  e 
of  contraction ;  bat  the  contraction,  like  a  vise,  must 
eontinue  to  squeeze  the  heart  and  the  life  oat  of  busi- 
nesa,  ami,  like  a  thief  in  the  night,  steal  bread  from 
labor  till'we  see,  as  the  trophies  of  Shbruan'k  ad- 
ministration, a  broken-hearted  people — and  the  grave. 
It  is  the  fuel  to  the  flame-'' 

Now,  if  there  were  any  sense  at  all  in  all 
this,  it  would  indeed  be  a  very  serious 
matter.  We  have  no  intention,  however,  of 
trying  to  convince  the  Greenbacker  that  it 
is  mere  fustian,  because  The  Times  is  very 
unlikely  to  reach  him,  and  if  it  should,  his 
lunacy  is  impenetrable.  Yet  it  may  be  of  use, 
to  others  not  so  far  gone  as  he,  to  note  just 
what  contraction  the  Besumption  act  has 
produced. 

On  the  11th  we  gave  a  detailed  statement 
ofcurrene^movements  from  June  20,  1874, 
which  the  reader  may  find  worth  while  to 
preserve  for  reference  hereafter.  The  bank- 
note movement,  for  the  terms  ending  Jan. 
14,  1875,  March  1  and  Nov.  1, 1876,  Feb. 
1  and  Aug  1,  1877,  was  given  thus:

*  Increase. 

Excluding  the  first  term  and  line,  which 
do  not  eome  under  the  Kesumption  act,  it 
appears  that  since  that  act  was  passed 
$28,632,223  notes  have  been  issued,  and 
$65,256,837  retired,  making  a  net  de- 
crease of  $36,624,612.  The  act  touches 
the  eiroiilation  in  only  two  provisions — it 


makes  the  formation  of  new  btrnks  and  the 
issue  of  new  currency  absolutely  free,  and  re- 
tires for  each^lOO  of  the  latter  $80  of  legal 
tenders.  Hence,  it  ought  to  be  clear  even 
to  the  Cincinnati  Greenbacker  that  this 
is  a  measure  of  expansion  to  the  extent 
of  $20 ;  it  is  putting  out  100  with  one  hand 
and  taking  in  80  with  the  other,  precisely  as 
if  the  Treasury  had  been  directed  to  pay 
out  a  dollar  whenever  it  received  eighty 
cents.  Under  the  Besumption  act,  $28,- 
632,225  of  notes  have  gone  out,  and  $22,- 
905,780  of  legal  tenders  have  been  retired ; 
under  the  operation  of  the  act,  therefore, 
there  has  been  a  clear  net  expansion  of 
$5,726,445  in  the  currency,  being  20  per 
cent,  of  the  total  emissions.  But  the 
fact  is  that  there  has  been  a  cur- 
rency decline  of  $57,363,124  since  June 
20,  1874,  and  $39,530,392  since  Jan. 
14,  1875.  This  is  accounted  for  by  the 
independent  process  of  bank-note  retire- 
ments, for  if  the  .$5,726,445  expansion 
since  Jan.  14,  1875,  and  imder  the  act  of 
that  date  is  deducted  from  the  $65,256,- 
837  retired  since  then,  we  have  $59,530,- 
392,  which  is  the  actual  net  contraction 
since  the  Besumption  act.  But  this  bank- 
note retirement  has  taken  place,  not  under 
the  Resumption  act,  but  under  the  prior  act 
of  Jtme  20,  1874.  The  inflationists  have 
therefore  been  denouncing  the  wrong  act. 

Why  the  banks  have  retired  their  notes 
is  plain.  There  has  been  no  demand  for  them, 
and  there  has  been  a  war-tax  on  them  ;  some 
banks  have  failed,  some  have  withdrawn 
heir  circulati  on,  and  others,  tired  of  heavy 
taxation,  have  withdrawn  from  the  national 
system.  Tlie  act  of  1874  is  permissive, 
not  compulsory ;  with  the  choice  given 
them  to  issue  or  to  withdraw  without  limit, 
they  have  done  the  latter.  But  the  infla- 
tionist shrieks  incessantly  that  the  with- 
drawal has  caused  the  dullness  of  business 
and  tho  lack  of  demand  for  money.  Infla- 
tion logic  thus  makes  cause  follow  effect, 
and  .the  cart  propel  the  horse. 
The  inflationist  talks  of  tho  para- 
lyzing effect  produced  by  the  dread  of 
IS 79,  but  the  facts  are  that  not  much  be- 
lief has  been  felt  in  the  substantiality  of 
tfie  Resumption  act,  at  least,  until  this 
year ;  that  Mr.  Sherman  is  the  first  Secre- 
tary who  has  shown  much  disposition  to  en- 
force it ;  and  that  during  the  five  months  of 
his  term,  while  the  act  and  preparations  for 
enforcing  it  have  been  most  prominently 
before  the  public  mind,  the  rate  of  contrac- 
tion has  somewhat  declined.  The  causes  of 
the  continued  depression  which  produces  the 
withdrawal  of  currency  that  is  not  in  de- 
mand are  another  matter.  One  of  the  chief 
of  them  is  the  uncertainty  which  tho  in- 
flationist has  succeeded  in  keeping  up  for 
the  past  four  j'ears,  and  which  deters  timid 
capital  from  venturing  out  of  its  hiding 
places  to  once  more  give  emplojTnent  to  in- 
dustrj-.  The  more  the  inflationist  shrieks 
and  rants,  and  talks,  and  acts  Communism, 
the  more  will  capital  stay  back  aud  contrac- 
tion go  on- 


WHAT  THE  ARMY  IS  DOIXG. 

If  there  is  a  disposition  in  any  quarter 
to  find  fault  with  the  present  disposition  of 
the  Army,  there  cau  bo  no  complaint  that 
too  large  a  force  is  in  the  South.  Generally 
speaking,  leaving  politics  out  of  the  ques- 
tion, there  is  a  reluctance  on  the  part  of 
citizens  to  have  a  militarj*  force  removed. 
In  sparsely  settled  regions  the  people  want 
the  military  kept  on  duty  as  long  as  possible, 
because  they  drive  an  honest  bargain  with 
Quartermaster  and  Commissarj'.  One 
Territory,  of  which  we  have  heard  doleful 
accounts,  was  once  declared  to  be  almost 
wholly  dependent  on  the  Quartermaster  for 
its  business.  But  even  the  older  and  more 
densely  populated  towns  find  it  pleasant  to 
entertain  a  military  force,  with  its  ''  eli- 
gible" young  oflicers.  On  the  frontier, 
where  there  is  always  a  chronic  Indian  war, 
the  settlers  believe,  or  profe.ss  to  believe, 
that  soldiers  of  the  regular  Army  are  not 
goo<l  Indian  fighters  ;  but  they  constantly 
clamor  for  troops,  and  more  troops,  .lust 
now  we  find  that  there  is  a  more  general  de- 
mand for  tho  Army  than  there  has  been  for 
many  years.  And  it  happens  that  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  Army  is  far  different  from 
what  it  has  been  at  any  time  since  the  war. 

In  the  Department  of  tho  South,  with  its 
head-qnarters  at  Atlanta,  for  example,  there 
were  fourteen  companies  of  artUlerj-,  one 
regiment  and  nine  companies  of  infantry, 
a  few  months  since ;  and  this  force  was 
smaller  than  usual.  Now  there  are  only  six 
companies  of  artillery  and  two  of  infantry 
in  that  department.  The  Department  of  the 
Gulf,  head-quarters  ."it  New-Orleans,  had 
three  regiments  of  infantry  last  March,  but 
it  has  only  two  companies  now.  These  two 
departments  comprise  all  of  the  Southern 
States  except  West  Virginia,  Virginia,  Del- 
aware, and  Maryland,  which  are  usually 
reckoned  as  border  States.  In  these 
last-named  States,  and  the  Middle  and  New- 
England  States,  there  are  now  more 
soldiers  than  in  all  of  the  territory  com- 
prised in  the  two  Southern  departments. 
Of  the  three  regiments  and  seven  companies 
of  artillery,  and  two  regiments  and  sixteen 
companies  of  infantry,  now  in  the  Middle 
and  New-England  States,  including  Mary- 
land, the  greater  part  are  in  the  States 
lately  affected  by  the  railroad  strikes,  Penn- 
sylvania and  Maryland  retaining  tho  larger 
share.  There  have  been  several  proposi- 
tions by  the  national  authorities  to  recall 
these  troops,  now  that  the  danger  from 
mob  violence  is  considered  over ;  but 
there  is  a  desire  in  the  communi- 
ties concerned  to  retain  them,  and, 
curiously  enough,  there  has  been  a  delay, 
in  some  instances,  on  account  of  the  alleged 
tmeertainty  as  to  the  authority  to  recall. 
It  was  said  that  the  troops  having  been  sent 
in  answer  to  a  call  from  the  State  Executive, 
the  President  or  Secretary  of  War  must 
wait  until  the  Governor  signifies  that  the 
emergency  which  required  military  force  no 
longer  exists.  Gov.  IIartranpt  very  de- 
cidedly has  said  that  the  troops  are  still 
needed  in  Pennsylvani-i.  It  may  be  noted 
as  a  novel  fact  that  the  States  usimlly  now 
call  for  troops  because  they  need  them,  and 
the  mooted  point  is  whether  the  National 
Government  shall  not  be  criticised  for  taking 
them  away.     It  was  not  always  so. 

Of  course,  Texas  iu  the  South-west,  and 
the  Territories  in  the  North-west,  not  in- 
cluded in  any  of  the  above-named  de- 
partments, require  more  of  the  .Army  than 
any  other  portion  of  the  Republic.  Indians 
and  Mexicans  make  an  infinite  amount  of 
trouble,  and  at  both  of  these  widely  sepa- 
rated points  there  is  continual  dissatisfac- 
tion   ou    at'.enunt  *tf  tiio  sinallness  of  the 


force  employed.  '  The  colored  re^- 
ments  have  been  found  serviceable  on 
the  Mexican  frontier  and  along  the 
line  of  New-Meiico  and  the  River  Colorado, 
The  Ninth  and  Tenth  Cavalry  and  the 
Twenty-third  and  Twenty-fourth  Infantry 
have  been  kept  on  duty  in  that  part  of  the 
country  nearly  ever  since  the  "war.  It  is 
thought  that  th)  colored  men  are  better 
adapt«d  to  service  in  the  hot  cUmate  of  the 
Rio  Grande  and  the  South-western  plains 
than  white  soldiers  could  possibly  be.  But 
this  exile  is  not  specially  agreeable  to  the 
white  officers,  many  of  whom  are  among  the 
bravest  and  mostly  highly  esteemed  in  the 
-Army.  Possibly  the  discontent  of  these 
officers  is  exaggerated,  but  it  is  natural 
that  they  should  find  their  long  absence 
from  home  irksome. 

The  force  employed  by  Gen.  Howard  in 
Oregon  and  Idaho  does  not  appear  a 
very  large  one.  It  is  not  so  large  as  that 
retained  in  the  States  which  were  lately  dis- 
turbed byriots.  Gen.  Howard  has  boiTowed 
from  the  departments  of  Califoniia  aud 
Arizona,  but  he  has  only  seven  companies 
of  cavalry,  five  of  artillery,  and  two  regi- 
ments of  infantry.  Gen.  Crook,  who  has  a 
more  extensive  field  and  a  powerful  foe 
frequently  before  him,  as  well  as 
Gen.  Tebey,  has  a  tolerably  strong 
force.  But  it  can  be  seen  that  the 
military  strength  required  on  the  In- 
dian frontier,  as  well  as  that  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Texas,  is  not  adequately  pro^Hded 
for.  If  we  never  had  more  than  one  call  for 
troops  at  a  time,  we  might  rub  along  with  a 
much  smaller  Army  thau  we  now  liave.  But 
a  great  riot,  a  chronic  war  on  the  Mexican 
boimdary,  Indian  outbreaks  in  various 
places,  and  the  guarding  and  preservation 
of  military  posts  and  stores  require  many 
men.  When  these  all  demand  immediate 
attention,  the  nan'owuess  of  our  resources 
is  severely  felt.     « 


"LABOR  UXIOXS." 
An  English  working  man,  in  a  recent  com- 
mimication  to  these  columns,  spoke  of  the 
well-known  combination  of  emploj'ers  at 
the  time  of  the  famous  strike  of  the  *'  Amal- 
gamated Engineers "  as  a  "  labor  uaiou  " 
as  much  as  those  of  the  workmen.  Tbis  is 
certainly  correct.  The  employers  formed  a 
combination  under  which  they  would  en- 
gage no  employes  who  would  not  pledge 
themselves  to  abstain  from  all  membership 
with  certain  unions.  This  strike  of  tho 
Amalgamated  Engineers  in  England  was 
the  greatest  ever  known  in  any  country 
till  the  present  one  of  railroad  employes  in 
the  United  States.  Those  engaged  in  it 
spent  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  in 
supporting  tho  families  of  tho  laborers 
driven  from  employment.  The  suffering 
and  loss  occasioned  by  it  were  immense. 
The  two  "  tmions ''  (as  our  correspondent 
observed)  were  in  bitter  struggle  with  one 
another.  The  only  diflference  between  them 
being  (what  our  correspondent  did  not  ob- 
serve) tliat  the  employers  kept  strictly  with- 
in the  limits  of  the  law,  while  the  employed 
resorted  to  terrorism  to  prevent  other  labor- 
ers from  taking  their  places. 

In  this  cotmtry  a  tew  months  since,  cer- 
tain railroads,  following  the  example  of  the 
Eastern  Railroad,  of  Massachusetts,  fonned 
a  '■  union  '"  to  exclude  all  engineers  and 
others  who  were  members  of  a  certain 
labor  organization.  This  they  had  a  per- 
fect right  to  do.  Again,  a  few  weeks  since, 
the  railroads  may  be  said  to  have  combined 
to  reduce  wages,  that  is,  a  number  did,  at 
about  the  same  time,  cut  down  their  rates  of 
payment.  Tho  laborers  combined  against 
this  with  a  general  strike,  which  again  was 
perfectly  proper  and  legal.  If  the  labor 
unions  never  went  further  than  this,  there 
would  be  no  objection  to  them.  Bat  it  is  in 
their  more  tyrannical  and  arbitrary  proceed- 
iufjs  that  they  lose  the  respect  and  good 
will  of  the  community.  Their  opposition  to 
apprenticeships,  their  terrorism  against 
other  workeiTs.  th^r  violence  to  non-strikers, 
and,  in  this  outbreak,  their  connivance  at, 
or  participation  inl  act*  of  riot  and  destruc- 
tion of  property — it  is  these  which  have  less- 
ened thi^  sympathy  of  the  best  i>art  of  o'ar 
people  for  all  labor  associations. 

It  need  not  be  said  to  our  readers  that 
this  journal,  though  especially  'circulating 
among  the  employijig  class,  has  always 
maintained  and  defended  the  best  interest.s 
of  labor.  We  take  this  ground  with  all  in- 
telligent economists,  that  the  true  aim  of 
legislation  and  the  best  social  organization 
should  be  an  equitable  distribution  of 
wealth,  or  in  other  words,  of  the  profits  of 
production.  The  laborers  have  as  much 
right  to  combine  to  secure  more  of  these  as 
the  capitalists  have,  to  prevent  them.  But 
both  must  keep  withiu  the  law,  and  both 
being  within  the  law,  public  opinion  will, 
on  tho  whole,  support  the  working  men 
more  than  the  employers,  for  the  reason 
that  the  former  are  poor,  disunited,  aud 
comparatively  helpless,  and  that  the  latter 
can  usually  take  care  of  themselves.  Cer- 
tainly, in  regard  to  our  principal  railroad  cor- 
porations, it  may  be  asserted  without  gain- 
saying that  the  laborers  and  employes  have 
received  very  little  from  the  profits  gained. 
^^^^cn  a  stock  is  watered,  it  is  not  among  the 
working  people  that  the  profits  are  divided. 
On  tho  contrary,  after  the  capitalists  have 
pocketed  them,  tho  necessary  dividends  to 
be  paid  on  the  larger  capital  cut  dovm  the 
sums  which  can  be  paid  as  wages.  It  is 
certainly  possible  that  wages  have  been 
pressed  doi*n  to  the  lowest  li^■ing  point 
among  the  day-laborers,  both  of  the  mines 
and  the  railroads.  Even  if  thoy  hiive  not, 
the  railway  companies  have  no  reason  to 
expect  any  especial  sympathy  from  the  pub- 
lic in  their  struggle  with  their  employes. 

What  ean  be  done  by  legislation  to  pre- 
vent the  railroad  c  j.ny.inies  from  pressing 
too  harden  their  laborers,  and  from  wasting 
thieir  substance,  will  undoubtedly  be  at- 
tempted. But  this  field  of  action  is  a  verj- 
difficult  one,  and  the  results  are  never 
certain.  Public  opinion  and  the  lossgi 
they  have  sustained  will  undoubtedly  eoga- 
pel  the  railroads  to  return  temporarily  ,to 
their  old  rates  of  .va^es.  But  the  same 
struggle  will  come  up  continually,  as  values 
are  being  settled,  until  finally  the  old  corpo- 
rations have  re-e3timat«d  their  properties  arid 
reduced  their  nominal  capitals  in  accordance 
with  new  conditions,  and  the  employes  have 
submitted  to  new  rjftes  or  have  left  for 
other  branches  of  business.  The  recom- 
mendation of  arbitration,  first  prominently 
brought  forward  in  this  journal,  and  now 
affirmed  by  the  Republican  Convention  of 
Ohio,  will,  if  adopted,  lessen  many  of  the 
evils  of  this  struggle.  The.  good  sense  of 
the  coontry  will  more  and  mora  &trilca  unnn 


means  of  filling  up  the  g^p  between  capital 
and  labor,  and  pre\'vnting  such  dangerous 
and  calamitous,  occurrences  as  this  recent 
outbreak.  

RUSSIA'S  FRONTIER  DEFENSES. 

There  is  a  story  told  of  a  chaplain  and  a 
dragoon  officer  who  got  into  a  hot  discus- 
sion one  evening,  and  parted  in  high  dud- 
geon. Early  the  next  morning  the  officer 
entered  his  antagonist's  room,  saying 
heartily,  "  My  dear  Sir,  I've  como  to  tell 
you  that  I  have  thought  over  your  argu- 
ments, and  am  now  quite  of  your  opinion." 
' '  Why,  bless  my  sotd  !"  cried  the  amazed 
chaplain,  "  I  was  just  coming  up  to 
say  the  same  thing  to  you !"  This  is  a 
pretty  fair  iUustration  of  the  present  position 
of  Russia  and  Austria.  Each  stoutly  asserts 
that  she  is  innocent  of  any  design  against  her 
neighbor,  but  that  the  latter's  menacing 
attitude  compels  her  to  arm  in  self-defense ; 
and  thus  the  two  go  on  fortifying  themselves 
against  each  other,  till  the  bewildered 
spectator  gives  up  all  hope  of  finding  out 
which  is  the  real  culprit. 

But  whether  neeessaiy  or  not,  Eussia's 
measures  of  precaution  have  been  thorough- 
ly can-led  out.  Her  western  line  of  defense 
was  feeble  in  1854  compared  with  what  it 
is  now.  Bessarabia  is  traversed  by  rail- 
ways from  side  to  side.  The  approaches 
from  Galicia,  once  miguardod.  are  now  held 
by  a  line  of  strong  posts,  behind  which  lie 
the  .Army  of  Volhynia  and  the  fortified 
citadel  on  the  Lysaya-Gora  at  Kiev ;  and  the 
southern  and  northern  circles  of  de- 
fense are  linked  together  by  the 
cross-line  running  north-westward  from 
the  Kiev  Railway  through  Berdi- 
tchcff  to  Brest-Litovsk.  A  railroad  runs 
direct  from  Moscow  to  the  western  border. 
ria  Smolensk  and  Moghilev ;  while  the 
Warsaw  district  itself,  through  which  Na- 
poleon penetrated  in  1807  and  1812,  is 
now  guarded  by  four  of  the  strongest  for- 
tresses in  K'jssia.  It  is.  undoubtedly,  a 
drawback  that  the  Polish  railway  centre 
should  be  au  open  town  like  Warsaw,  de- 
fended only  by  a  citadel  which  is  iuf  no 
condition  t-o  resist  a  determined  att^ek  j 
but  this  one  weak  point  is  eiieir- 
cled  by  a  formidable  life-guard. 
On  the  south-west,  the  intrenched  camp  of 
Czenstochau.  planted  like  a  sentinel  at  the 
gate  of  Austria,  stands  looking  over  the 
flat,  sandy  waste,  across  which  the  frontier 
railway  nms  southward  to  Vienna.  On  the 
south-east.  Brest-Litovsk  holds  with  its  for- 
tified t(te-(ln-pont  the  passage  of  the  Pripet 
and  the  junction  of  the  four  great  roads  to 
Vilua,  Smolensk.  Kiev,  and  Warsaw.  On 
the  opposite  side,  nearer  Warsaw,  and 
guarding  the  approach  to  it,  stands 
Ivangorod  :  and  on  the  bleak  waste  of  moor- 
land in  the  midst  of  which  lies  the  quaint 
little  Town  of  Novo-Gcorgievsk,  has  been 
growing  up,  for  years  past,  a  more  formida- 
ble stronghold  than  all — the  great  fortress 
of  Modlin.  wliich.  when  complete,  is  to  con- 
tain SO, 000  men,  with  all  their  stores  and 
munitions  of  war.  So  jealously  has  its  se- 
cret been  kept,  that  even  now  no  ''  out- 
sider "  is  permitted  to  approach  within  a 
hundred  yards  of  the  outer  line  of  works, 
and  its  very  name  is  unmarked  on  any  map 
except  the  charts  of  the  Russian  War  Of- 
fice. These  four  fortresses,  Modlin,  Ivan- 
gorod, Brest-Litovsk,  and  Czerstoeh&, 
linked  together  by  connecting  lines  of  rail- 
way, form  the  "  Russian  quadrilateral," 
which,  though  as  yet  less  famous  than  that 
of  Verona,  or  that  of  Rustchuk,  may  yet 
take  a  prominent  place  in  history.  In  the 
event  of  a  rupture  with  .Austria,  all  non-com- 
batants will  be  instantly  withdrawn  from  the 
border  fortresses,  and  the  scheme  of  a  forti- 
fied camp  at  Drissa,  in  the  rear  of  the 
quadrilateral,  which  has  been  warmly 
advocated,  will  probably  be  carried 
out.  Xor  is  this  all.  Xot  con- 
tent with  remlering  the  Polish  railways 
useless  to  any  invader  by  their  peculiarity 
of  **  gauge,''  Ihe  Russian  Government  has 
si^dficantly  directed  that  "  in  ease  of 
war,  all  non-Russian  employes  on  tlie 
border  lines  shall  be  replaced  by 
natives."  All  tlieso  precautions,  especially 
the   last,   plainly   indicate   an   anticipation 

of  fresh  troubles  in  Poland  immediately 
upon  any  overt  act  of  hostility  by  Austria  ; 
but.  for  the  present  at  least,  this  latter  eon- 
tiugeucy  seeiiis  a  tuiorably  remote  one. 


EXTEilPORAXEOrS  SPEAKIXG. 

Although  it  is  generally  conceded  that  the 
art  of  "  stump  oratory^  is  carried  to  its  high- 
est degree  of  excellence  in  this  cottntry.  it 
is,  nevertheless,  safe  tq  venture  the  state- 
ment that  the  ability  needed  to  deliver  au 
extemporary  address  which  shall  be  consid- 
ered a  masterpiece  both  from  a  rhetorical 
and  logical  stand-point  is  possessed  by  very 
few  men  here  or  elsewhere.  The  ready 
sjieaker,whocan  at  a  moment's  notice  stand 
up  and  pour  himself  out  in  words,  is  almost 
invariably  a  man  of  superficial  attainments. 
The  great  requisite  for  one  of  this  class  is 
volubility  of  speech.  In  glancing  over  the 
surface  of  the  matter  luider  discussion  he 
finds  but  few  mental  obstacles  iu  his  way, 
while  as  a  rule  he  is  not  too  closely  bound 
down  by  grammatical  considerations.  On 
the  other  hand,  a  man  possessing 
equal  powers  of  expression,  combined 
with  a  greater  range  of  intelleo-"ual 
vision,  is  placed  in  a  comparison  of  this 
kind  at  great  disadvantage.  .A  multitude 
of  ideas  suggest  themselves  to  him  which 
the  other  would  ov^erlook,  which  may  both 
support  aud  modify  the  argument  he  wishes 
to  advance.  He  is,  therefore,  obliged  to 
arrange  and  classify  his  remarks,  and  in  so 
doing  he  sacrifices  directness  for  the  vision- 
ary hope  of  obtaining,  through  the  use  of 
parentheses,  an  additional  clearness  iu 
statement. 

It  was  no  doubt  personal  experience  of 
these  difficulties  that  occasioned  the  para- 
doxical advice  given  by  one  of  the  greatest 
orators  that  America  has  ever  known,  that 
"  the  way  to  make  a  good  extemporaiy 
speech  is  to  prepare  it  in  advance."  Cer- 
tainly those  addresses  that  are  anything 
more  than  ephemeral  have  received  a  vast 
deal  of  preparation  before,  and  often  in- 
deed, no  little  emendation  after,  delivery. 
The  fine  cutting  satire  ;  the  sudden  burst  of 
eloquence ;  the  happy  illustration  that 
seemed  so  thoroughly  spontaneous,  have 
usually  been  the  result  of  days  of  careful 
study  and  hours  of  patient  rehearsal. 
Even  little  dramatical  effects  are 
not  overlooked  by  au  orator  who 
is  desirous  of  making  the  most  of  his  sub- 
ject. As  an  instance  of  this,  it  is  related 
of  the  late  Epwasd  Evesett  that  upon  one 
ocjsasion.  when  he  was  to  answer  to  an  after- 


dinner  toast  at  a  pnblie  •Dtvrtainaiaat,  h» 
went  into  the  nx>m  a  short  time  before  the 
dinner  was  served  and  had  one  of  the  ■  at- 
tendants place  a  small  American  flag  amid 
the  decorations  on  the  wall  behind  his  seat. 
Later  on,  in  the  midst  of  his  speech,  his  eye, 
as  if  by  accident,  caught  sight  of  this  flag, 
and,  tearing  it  from  its  fastening,  he  en- 
tered on  a  fervid  apostrophe  to  those  who 
first  gave  the  country  its  flag  and  name. 
Now,  in  this  every  word  and  gesture  had 
been  previously  arranged,  and  it  may  be 
added  that  an  extemporary  attempt  to  equal 
it  in  point  of  effectiveness  would  have  re- 
sulted in  a  lamentable  failure. 

It  is  impossible  for  any  one  to  have  his 
ideas  so  well  in  hand  that  on  the  spur  of  the 
moment  he  can  talk  or  write  as  well  as  he 
could  if  he  had  given  the'  subject  thoughtful 
consideration.  Even  when  this  has  been 
done,  and  the  speaker  in  his  notes  has 
clearly  mapped  out  the  line  of  his  discourse, 
it  usually  happens  that  in  force  and  beauty 
of  expression  he  falls  far  short  of  what  he 
had  hoped  to  do.  One  of  the  most  remark- 
able illustrations  of  this  difference  between 
intention  and  execution  is  found  in  the 
celebrated  reply  of  Daxiel  Webster 
to  the  speech  of  Mr.  HaTSE.  The 
peroration.  which  begins  with  the 
words,  "  When  my  eyes  shall  be 
turned  for  the  last  time  to  behold  the  sun 
in  heaven,  may  I  not  see  him  shining  on  the 
broken,"  &e.,  is  too  well  known  to  need 
further  quotation.  Most  of  us  have  in 
school-boy  days  declaimed  it  over  and  over 
again,  and  no  doubt  innocently  wondered  how 
the  grand  and  fu'il,  rounded  periods  sonnded 
when  they  were  first  uttered.  Unfortunate- 
ly, as  it  now  turns  out,  these  were  never 
spoken,  but,  like  Congressional  speeches  of 
the  present  day,  were  what  Mr.  Webster 
intended  to  say.  The  speech  as  delivered 
was  taken  down  in  short-hand  by  Mr. 
Joseph  Gales,  the  editor  of  the  Sational 
IntelUgfneer,  and  it  was  from  his  notes  that 
ilr.  Webster  subsequently  wrote  out  and 
gave  to  the  world  what  has  since  been 
known  as  the  reply  to  Mr.  Hats"e.  These 
notes  have  lately  obtained  a  semi-publicity, 
and  it  is  curious  to  contrast  the  clumsy  and 
involved  mode  of  expression  in  which  this 
concluding  section  was  delivered  with  the 
smooth,  flowing  diction  of  the  popular  ver- 
sion.    -As  spoken,  this  was  as  follows : 

"  VThen  my  eyes  shall  be  turned  for  the  last  time 
on  the  meridian  sun.  I  hope  I  may  see  him  shining 
bright  upon  my  united,  free,  and  happy  country.  I 
hope  I  shall  not  live  to  see  his  i>eams  falling  upon 
the  disperse<l  fragments  of  the  stroctare  of  this 
once  glorious  Union.  I  hope  I  may  not  see  the  dsg 
of  my  countrr  with  its  stars  separated  or  obliterated : 
torn  by  commotions;  smolcing  with  the  blood  of 
civil  war.  I  hope  I  may  not  see  the  stand- 
ard raised  of  separate  States'  rights,  star 
a^aiiLst  sfar,  and  stripe  against  stripe ; 
but  that  the  flag  uf  the  Uuion  may  keep  its  stars 
and  stripes  curded  and  bound  together  in  indissolu- 
ble ties.  I  hope  I  shall  not  see  written  as  its  motto, 
first  Liberty  and  t'nen  ITnion.  1  hope  I  shall  see 
no  such  delusive  and  deluded  motto  on  the  flag  of 
that  country.  I  hope  to  see  spread  all  over  it,  bla 
zoned  in  letters  of  light  and  proudly  floating  OTer 
land  and  sea  that  other  sentiment,  dear  to  my  heart. 
"TTnioQ  and  liberty,  now  and  forever,  one  and  in- 
sepiirable. " 

It  will  readily  be  seen  that  the  above, 
while  infinitely  worse  in  manner  than  it  is 
in  its  revised  state,  is  much  more  like  the 
speeches  one  ordinsirdy  hears  than  is  the 
pruned  and  prepared  edition.  These  are 
supposed  to  be  the  most  eloquent  words  of 
one  of  America's  greatest  orators ;  and  yet 
their  weakness  is  sufficient,  from  strained 
metaphor  and  constant  repetition,  to  make 
them,  when  put  in  print,  ridiculous  rather 
than  sublime.

The  people  of  Toronto  complain  that  the  num-

The  Maryland  Democratic  State  Committee  is 
to  meet  In  Baltimore  on  Wednesday,  Sept.  5,  to  ar.

Citizens  of  Pittsburg,  Penn.,  have  presented

and  have  made  up  a  ptirse  of  $1,000  for  the  fiuniJy 
of  the  late  Lieut.  J.  Doreey  Ash. 

The  CHncinnatt  Enquirer  remarks  :  **  West 
pitched  the  key-note,  but  who  can  catch  it?"  Well, 
there  are  a  ntunber  of  persons  who  are  expecting 
that  the  Democrats  of  Ohio  will  "catch  it"  heovily 
in   October. 

One  C.ipt-  Charles  Price,  of  Salisbury,  U.  C., 
hr,s  thought  it  worth  Trhile  to  write  to  one  of  the 
State  psDers  that  he  has  not  sought  olSce.  and  would 
uot  accept  it  from  ilr.  Hayes.  This  must  be  a  very 
small  Price.  • 

The  Victsburg  (Miss.)  BeraW  is  very  sure 
that  Gov.  Stone  could  get  10,000  eHectlve  militiamen 
in  a  week  for  any  leeal  purpose.  And  yet  he  has 
never  been  able  to  bring  the  Kemper  Cotmty  anas- 
sins  to  jostice. 

This  week  the  Republicans  of  Ohio  begin 
their  active  canvass.  Among  the  speakers  named 
are  Judjc  William  H.  West.  Senator  Stanley  Sfat- 
thews.  Gen.  C.  H.  Grosvenor,  J.  A.  Garfield,  Miltoa 
Barnes,  George  A.  Siieridan,  and  G.  K.  Kasii. 

Hon.  H.  B.  Payne  was  announced  to  speak  for 
the  Democrats  at  Cleveland  to-morrow  night,  but  It 
has  been  deemed  advisable  -to  t>ostpone  his  speech 
until  a  later  day.  There  are  several  troublesome 
question.*  in  Ohio,  and  the  Democrats  do  not  know 
which  end  of  them  to  catch  hold  of. 

A  Virginia  paper  bluntly  says  that  the  vacan- 
cy on  the  Democratic  State  ticket,  caused  by  Mr. 
Dattiel's  death,  should  be  filled  by  the  late  committee, 
because  the  reassembling  of  the  State  Convention, 
while  involving  immense  expense  and  troable, 
' '  might  result  in  again  disturbing  the  hazmony  of 
the  party." 

Judging  from  a  statement  in  the  CRobe,  tHe 
banana  btisiness  in  Boston  is  not  nroflltable,  though 
the  fruit  frequently  changes  bands.  It  says :  "  Ba- 
nanas which  sell  for  5  cents  one  day  are  offered  the 
follotring  day  for  3  cents.  If  not  sold  tbey  are 
skinned  and  sold  for  a  penny  apieoe."  It  is  to  be 
hoped  they  are  then  thrown  away.

CECEL  TREATMEXT  OP  THE  IXMATES — TBE 
SCMBEE  OF  PArTER  DTSANE — A  TERRI- 
BLE STATE  or  AFFAIP.S  REPORTED. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  19.— Dr.  Charles 
W.  Chancellor,  a  member  of  the  City  Council, 
Secretary  of  the  State  Board  of  Healtli.  and  a 
physician  of  extensive  practice  in  this  city,  who 
was  requested  by  Gov.  Carroll  to  visit  and  in- 
spect "  all  alms  institutions  in  the  State,  pat^ 
ticnlarly  wiih  reference  to  their  sanitary  con- 
dition, the  treatment  of  the  inmates,  end  tht» 
nimiber  of  pauper  insane  who  are  confined 
therein  at  the  public  expense,"  has  discharged 
that  duty  and  submitted  his  report  to  the  Gov- 
ernor. In  introducing  his  report.  Dr.  Chancel- 
lor says  :  '*  It  is  painful  to  report  the  shocking 
"Condition  in  which  many  of  the  public 
institutions  were  found ;  and  it  is  difHcalt 
to  conceive  that  anything  worse  ever  existed  in 
a  civilized  country."  ••  There  are  now.'*  ha 
says,  '•  within  the  alms-houses  aud  jails  of  our 
State  over  500  insane  and  idiotic  people,  for 
whom  there  exists  no  proper  provisioii,  and 
who  are  utterly  cast  down  and  neglected,  half- 
fed  and  eliabtiy  iu  their  wretchedness."  The 
report  first  takes  up  the  condition  and  matta^re- 
tnent  of  State  institutions  in  the  city  and 
elsewhere.  With  one  or  tw^  except^jzis 
{the  House  of  Refuge  and  Bay  View 
Asylum  which  are  overcrowded,;  the  State  insti- 
tuUons  are  represented  as  well  conducted  and 
disciplined,  and  the  Asvlum  for  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  located  at  Freierick,  is  pronounced  a. 
'*  monument  of  public  beneficence."  In  tha 
alms-houses  in  some  of  the  counties  an  entirely 
different  smte  of  affairs  exists,  and  Dr.  Chancel- 
lor's report  represents  them  to  be  disguwinj 
dens  of  tilth' and  prostitution- 

The  total  number  of  indigent  insane  In  the 
Staty-  in  county  alms-houses  atvd  hofipiTa',^,  i^ 
^ven  as  follows :  VThites.  males,  313 :  lemahrt, 
330 ;  colored,  males,  50 ;  females,  54.  ToiK, 
747.  e  • 

The  State  institutions  are  managed  by  Boards 
of  Trustees,  as  are  also  the  alms-houses  in  sev- 
eral cotinties,  (Charles  and  others.)  but  in  most 
counties  they  are  under  the  control  of  tht* 
County  Commissioners,  who  appoint  the  keepers. 
No  doubt  this  exposure  by  Dr.  ChanceUor. 
backed  by  an  indignant  public  opinion,  will 
lead  to  immediate  and  sweeping  reformation  of 
the  county  institutions.

Front  owr  (honCorraafiondeni.- 
Charleston-,  S;  C,  Monday,  Aug.  13,  1877. 
The  bald  dishonesty  of  Georgia  and  Ten- 
aessee  and  the  doubtful  position  of  Virginia  in 
dealing  with  their  bonded  debt  has  been  futly 
5ipo3ed  by  Thz  TIME3.  Before  the  year  is  out 
holders  of  the  consols  of  South  Carolina  will 
bare  reason  to  feel  that  they  are  -victims  of 
an  eren  more  barefaced  swindle  tiian  has 
yet  disgraced  any  State  of  ^rthe  Union. 
Foot  years  aco  they  were  forced  to  accept  a 
"compromise,"  by  which  they  gave  up  two 
bonds  for  one.  The  sugar  on  the  pill  was  in  the 
form  of  a  coupon  which  should  always  be  re- 
ceiTable  for  taxes.  The  sugar  has  already  been 
melted  off  by  the  admimstratiou  of  the  "  noble 
Hampton/'  a  special  clause  in  the  Supply  bill 
haring  forbidden  the  reception  of  the  coupons 
for  the  tt^es  of  the  first  year  of  "  home  rule." 
A  committee  is  now  busily  engaged  in  carefully 
'  going  over  the  surrendered  old  bonds  for  the 
purpose  of  repudiating  all  consols  which  repre- 
sent bonds  issued  since  1SU8.  The  consols 
which  will  be  declared  valid  will  be  those  only 
which  represent  surrendered  ante-war  debts.  At 
least  one-half  of  the  four  and  a  quarter  miiUon 
consols  issued  since  1373  will  certainly  be  repu- 
diated. 

In  1875  the  State  took  a  judgment  against 
Niles  G.  Parker  of  $75,000,  for  an  alleged 
fraud  in  the  issue  of  that  number  of  consols  at 
the  close  of  Moses'  administration.  This  Gov. 
Hampton  is  to  enter  satisfaction  upon,  in  order 
that  it  shall  not  be  pleaded  that  the  State  has 
had  its  remedy  when  it  comes  to  repudiate  the 
bonds  so  issued.  Various  quibbles  will  be  raised 
toexcus«?the  contemplated  swindle,  but  at  the 
bottom  of  the  movement  lies  the  doctrine  of 
-  Toombs,  as  announced  to  the  Georgia  Convention 
theotherday:  '*Noactof  reconstructiou bayonet 
Legislatures  can  bind  the  people  of  the  South 
either  in  law  or  morals.'*  :^ome  inkling  of  this 
truth  has  probably  reached  the  large  bondhold- 
ers, for  very  few  of  them  have  seut  their  consols 
to  the  committee.  Xot  more  than  10  per'cent. 
of  those  out  have  arrived  here  for  examination. 
The  owners  will  save  erprcssage,  and  that  is 
about  all  most  of  them  will  save. 

Thrt?e  investigating  committees  are  in 
session  here.  The  only  one  which  at- 
tracts attention  is  the  Cochran  commit- 
iee.  Its  Chairman  ^^-as  a  Republican 
under  Scott  and  3Ioses.  He  is  a  bitter  enemy 
of  3Hr.  Chamberlain.  The  rest  of  the  members 
are  of  the  shot-gun  Democracy.  They  have 
raked  the  Stat*;  to  bribe  and  frighten  men  into 
testdfyizig  ai^inst  leaders  of*  the  Republicans 
during  ihe  late  campaign.  Hamburg  Demo- 
crats and  Muses  Republicans  join  heartily  in 
hating  Mr.  Chamberlain  and  his  friends.  They 
have  good  cause  to  hate  him.      He  valiantly  op- 

Eosed  the  ascendency  of  either  of  them  when 
e  had  the  power.  They  feel  toward  him  as 
I  siippose  Tweed  feels  toward  The  Tiaies. 
As  Judge  Mackey  once  sadd,  Mosea^^  not  a 
national  but  an  international  repnta^on,  and 
his  oaths  will  weigh  little  with  people  her©  or 
,  elsewhere.  Some  of  the  Democrats  have  the 
grace  to  be  ashamed  of  such  tools,  but  the  reply 
is  that  these  are  the  only  kind  of  tools  the  com- 
mittee have.  The  committee  also  uses  its  power 
to  drive  Republicans  from  elective  offices.  S.  J. 
Lee,  Solicitor  of  the  Second  Circuit,  was  ar- 
rested a  few  days  ago.  sent  to  jail  in  default  of 
enormous  .bail,  but  was  let  out  as  soon  as  he  re- 
signec?  his  solicilorship.  There  is  a  Republican 
majoi  t>-  of  12,000  in  the  Second  Judicial  Dis- 
trict, but  a  Democrat  will  take  Mr.  Lee's  nlace. 
All  will  remember  how  strenuously  the  Demo- 
cratic papers  denied  the  "  proscription  "  policy 
attributed  to  them  by  Republicans.  To  show 
to  whAt  lengths  it  was  carried  and  how  patiently 
the  colored  voters  have  borne  persecution  for 
the  sake  of  being  true  to  their  political  convic- 
tions, I  make  the  following  extract  from  a  re- 
cent letter  to  the  leading  Democratic  paper  of 
the  State,  the  Charleston  I^eics  and  Courier  : 

"The  present  year  has  been,  and  continues  to  be. 
an  exceedingly  hard  one  on  the  pUnters  of  South 
Carolina.  No  period  nince  the  war  has  been  attended 
Brith  so  nianv  hardships  connected  with  agricultnral 
pursTuta.  and  while  all  share  in  the  general  depres- 
sion, specially  have  the  tenant  farmers  felt  the 
blighting  influences  of  the  times.  The  majority  of 
this  class  are  negroes.  Many  of  these  people  rent 
land  from  choice,  while  many  others  were  forced  to 
do  so  thiri  year  from  necessity.  The  proscrip- 
tive  resolutions  of  the  Ias(  campaign,  coupled 
with  the  low  price  of  cotton  at  the  com- 
mencement of  the  agricultural  year,  caused 
nineteeu-twentieths  of  the  land-owners  to  cut 
loose  entirely  from  DO  to  75  in  every  township. 
These  were  driven  to  the  wall.  \Diny  of  them  hud- 
dled totfether  ou  dilapidated  old  plantations,  whose 
owners  resided  at  a  di-itaHce,  and  were  not  bound  by 
the  proscriptive  resoluti'uis  or.  being  boond  in  theh- 
own  township,  disregarded  their  obligations  upon 
their  property  in  other  townships.  The  others  fell 
back  into  the  piney  woods,  chopped  down  a  few 
•cres  of  the  forest,  and  built  bats  after  a  ^hion 
known  only  to  Sonth  Carolina.  Thus  they  have 
managed  to  live,  through  much  suffering,  to  the 
present  thne.  How  they  have  done  so  ia  the  mys- 
tery, for  really  theft  is  of  lesa  occurrence  now  than 
at  any  time  since  thrf^  war.  The  other  tenants,  those 
who  rented  lands  re^larly,  are  not  in  a  much  better 
condition.  This  is  owing  to  the  want  of  skill  and 
means  in  the  first  place,  and  the  miserable  poverty 
of  the  lands  which  they  have  to  cultivate  in  the  sec- 
ond place." 

Were  these  Bulgarian  peasants  oppressed  by 
Moslem  landlords  dome  sympathy  would  be  ex- 
cited for  them ;  possibly  Mr.  Evafts  mi(fht  write 
a  dispatch  advising  the'  Sultan  to  modify  such 
"homerule,^ 

The  Liberian  exodus  scheme  still  excites  the 
attention  of  the  colored  people,  but  want  of 
means  will  bring  it  to  naught.  In  alluding  to 
this  fact,  in  a  lener  to  the  J^ews  and  Couriet.  a 
very  intelligent  colored  preacher— Mr.  Middle- 
ton,  of  Beaufort — said  that  the  eiodu^ 
would  not  take  place  until  God  gatt^ 
his  people  the  "spcdl  of  the  Egyptian."  This 
idea  is  spreadinsr  also,  and  though  the  South 
is  not  troubled  with  strikes  at  present,  the  ma- 
terials for  a  flrst-class  ** commune"  exist  in  the 
coast  counties  of  South  Carolina.  A  knowledge 
of  this  fact  makes  the  difference,  unacknowl- 
edged, however,  between  the  political  policy  of 
the  low  country  and  up  country-  The  intelli- 
gent residents  of  tho  coast  have  a  perception 
that — 

*'  There  is  a  poor  blind  Samson  In  the  land. 

Shorn  of  his  strength  and  bound  in  bonds  of  steel, 
"Who  may  in  some  grim  revel  raise  hM  hand. 
And  sliake  the  pulars  of  the  commonweal." 

It  would  not  be-  well  for  laborers  and  mechan- 
ics in  the  Nonh  to^  conclude  that  this  is  a  para- 
dise because  there  are  no  strikes.  There  is  very 
little  to  strike  against  and  very  few  to  strike. 
except  in  agricultural  pursuits.  On  the  rail- 
roads men  are  doing  a  long  day's  work  for  pay 
■which  would  make  a  Xew-Tork  Central  train 
man  laugh.  Xiue  dollars  a  month  for  brake- 
men  and  train  men,  $50  for  conductors,  and 
$75  for  engineers  are  about  the  average  flgtires. 
One  of  tho  roads  is  five  months  behind  with  its 
employesjnnd  all  are  in  arrears,  with  small  pros- 
pect of  efver  catching  up.  Mechiuiics  are  quite 
as  badly  off.  There  is  Uttle  to  do.  and  that  at 
lower  prices  than  were  ever  known.  Country 
newspap«rs  can  get  all  the  printers  they  want 
for  their  board  and  lodging  during  the  Summer 
months,  and  25  cents  per  1,000  ems  f  or  txan- 
sient  work  is  tho  usual  price  outside  of  Charles- 
ton. 

Agricultural  labor  is  worse  paid  than  in  any 
civilized  count2{f.  Six  dollars  a  month  and  a 
ration  costing  about  40  cents  s  week  is  the 
price  for  a  full  male  hand.  I  saw  white  men 
digiging  post-boles  a  ferw  weeks  ago  who  were 
working  from  6  A.  M.  to  sundown  for  50  cents 
a  day  and  feeding  themselves.  They  did  not 
Beem  lo  be  doing  much  more  than  oO  cents 
worth,  but  they  were  probablv  himgjry.  The 
crops  are   unusually    good,     who-*    ..«^    *v«*a

over  •'  impoverished  people,"  and  fanners  in 
tho  *'  clutches  of  the  money-lender  and  the  tax- 
gatherer."  If  these  sentences  represent  the 
truth,  it  would  be  a  good  State  to  get  out  of 
rather  than  a  desirable  place  to  emigrate  to. 
There  were  strong  speeches  in.  favor  of  a 
Usury  lawt  much  talk  about  *'  controlling 
labor.**  Both  labor  and  capital  will  stay 
or  go  elsewhere  tmtil  they  hear  other  accounts 
from  thase  inviting  them  to  come  here.  And 
yet  the  northern  counties  of  th&  State  only  need 
a  different  populatioli  to  make  them  an  Eden  of 
fmitfulness.  A  Northern  farmer  would  ftnd 
himself  very  lonely,  however,  and  the  beautiful 
cHmate  and  cheap,  good  lands  would  not 
compensate  him  for  an  bmlation  no  less  com- 
plete than  if  he  were  In  Mexico.  OoloniKation 
may  one  day  make  the  Piedntont  region 
of  South  Carolina  wealthy,  but  that  is  the  only 
way.  Could  50  families,  with  means  enough  to 
live  a  year  and  improve  tbeir  lands,  be  located 
together  in  Greenville  or  Spartanburg  Counties, 
they  would  grive  companionship,  sympathy,  and 
security  to  each  other,  which  they  would  fail 
for  lack  of  if  set  down  separately  amid  a  sus- 
picious and  uncongenial  community.  Such  a 
colonv,  if  rigl\tly  composed,  would  gradually 
acquire  an  influence,  inspire  respect,  and  ulti- 
mately lead  public  opinion.  Such  colonies  are 
the  only  hope  of  the  State.  Until  they  come, 
five  enterprising  people  will  leave  the  State 
where  one  comes  into  it  to  stay.

DETAILS  OP  THE  ACCLDEXT  WHICH  LATELY 
BEFELL  PSIJJCE  AljIADBUS — A.  .  NASBOW 
ESCAPE  PEOM  DEATH. 
A  correspondent  at  Rome  sends  the  fol- 
lowing details,  gathered  from  the  Turin  papers,  of 
the  tmfortonate  accident  which  lately  befell  Prince 
Amadens  in  that  town  :  "  The  Prince,  who  is  very 
fond  of  driving  and  a  good.whlp,  had  bought  a  young 
horse  which  he  wished  to  try  in  double  harness,  and 
ou  Saturday  evening  gave  orders  for  it  to  be  har- 
nessed with  a  saddle  horse  which  he  drove  some- 
times. The  pair,  being  unused  to  each  other  and 
to.being  drivent  were  very  fidgety;  and  the  Prljtce. 
who  was  only  accompanied  by  a  groom,  de- 
termined to  take  them  home,  after  taking 
one  or  two  turns  in  the  public  drive-  He  accordingly 
turned  homeward,  the  horses  starting  off  at  such  a 
pace  and  being  so  restive  that  a  p<jUceman,  fearinc 
some  accident  would  happen,  ran  after  the  carriage. 
and  after  going  a  short  distance  the  noise  of  two 
carriaoes  passing  made  them  fairly  bolt.  The  Prince 
lost  all  command  over  them,  and  lumped  from  the 
carriage,  alighting  on  his  feet,  but  the  impetus  of  the 
spring  dashed  him  violently  against  a  tree,  seriously 
brulsmg  his  right  Rhouldor  and  head.  The  brim  of 
his  hat  probabR-  saved  his  life  ;  but  as  it  was,  he  was 
stunned  and  feU  to  the  ground.  The  runaway  horses, 
left  'to  themselves,  dished  the  carriage  to  pieces 
against  a  lamp-post,  and  were  finally  stopped ; 
the  servant,  who  had  stuck  to  his  seat, 
was  thrown  out,  but  escaped  with  a  few 
bruises-  Meanwhile,  the  policeman  who  had  followed 
the  carriage  reached  the  Prince,  and,  with  the  assist- 
ance of  other  people  who  had  mu  up,  carried  him 
into  the  nearest  house,  where  a  doctor  endeavored  to 
restore  him  to  consciousnens.  and  so  far  succeeded  as 
to  be  able  to  move  him  before  long  from  the  sofa  on 
which  he  bad  been  first  laid  to  a  bed  up  stairs.  The 
Prince's  private  physician,  who  had  been  sent  for  at 
once,  asauted  to  undress  and  put  him  in  bed.  but  he 
was  then  seized  with  violent  convulsions,  which  re- 
curred at  intervals,  causing  the  greatest  alarm  to  his 
attendants.  "When  conscious  he  complained  only 
of  his  shoulder,  but  of  course  the  great  dan- 
ger was  the  brain.  TeleCTams  were  sent  oCf 
at  once  to  the  King.  Prince  Humbert,  the  Princess 
Margherita,  the  Queen  of  Portugal,  and  his  other 
near  relatives,  for  his  U^e  was  almost  despaired  of  : 
but  after  a  time  the  convulsions  ceased,  there  was 
no  fever,  and  the  next  morning  he  was  able  to  recog- 
nize those  around  him,  though  he  recollected  nothing 
of  the-' accident,  and  thought  himself  in  his  own 
-rO^ins.  The  improvement  continuing,  and  a  com- 
plete absence  of  fever,  he  was  able  to  be  moved  to 
his  own  palace  on  Monday,  and  the  doctors  report 
him  out  of  danger.  The  news  of  the  accident  caused 
great  grief  in  Turin,  where  the  Prince  resides,  and  is 
mostaopular.  Always  a  favorite,  his  unfortunate 
experiences  in  Spain,  with  the  deaih  of 
his  wife  as  their  sequel,  have  rendered  him 
doubly  dear  to  the  Turlnese,  *among  whom  he 
moves  without  any  show,  as  one  of  themselves.  De- 
votedly attached  to  his  wife,  scarcely  a  day  passes 
without  his  spending  some  time,  often  hours,  in 
prayer,  beside  her  tomb,  and  his  evening  drives  are 
often  directed  to  the  spot  where  a  monument  is  to 
be  erected  to  her  memory  -.  he  keeps  his  children 
with  him  as  much  as  possibieKteaching  them  himself, 
and  filling,  as  fajr  as  may  be  in  ^liat  way,  the  place  of 
their  lost  mother,  who  was-  one  of  the  most  accom- 
plished women  in  Italy.  Be  has  been  appUed  to 
more  than  once  to  furnish  notes  for  a  history  of  the 
brief  reign  in  Spain,  but  it  is  a  painful  subject,  and 
though  personafly  he  came  out  of  the  trial  well,  he 
prefers  it  should  be  forgotten,  and  has  desired  his 
aides^e-camn  to  keep  silence  on  the  subject,  a  wiah 
hitherto  respected. ' '  _ 

GOOD  TIELD  IX  JEFFERSOy  COUyTT. 
The  Watertown  Times  of  Saturday  evening 
says:  "Some  facts  ascertained  at  random  within  a 
few  days  by  a  bmriness  man  of  this  city,  showing  the 
remarkable  prolific  grain  yield  in  the  county  this  year, 
are  well  worth  mentioning,  not  doubting  that  they 
are  pretty  fair  criterloos  of  the  general  results,  while 
they  are  not  in  themselves  exaggerations,  as  they  are 
in  accord  with  the  general  reports.  Mr.  Allen,  who 
resides  on  what  is  known  aa  the  'Morris  tract,' in 
Brownville,  from  two  and  a  half  acres  raised  112 
btishets  of  Winter  wheat,  which  ho  sold  for  $1  80 
per  bushel.  This  gives  44  4-5  bushels  and  $80  04 
as  the  yield  per  acre.  In  Rodman,  from  a  field  of 
five  acres  of  wheat,  (name  of  owner  not  given,)  a 
yield  of  50  bushels  p^  acre  was  reported-  In  an- 
other case,  where  a  Brownville  farmer  had  estimated 
on  a  field  of  oats  on  the  usual  basis  at  yielding  250 
bushels,  be  found  the  product  to  be  400  buahels. 
Such  are  some  of  the  volutions  of  the  haprest  prob- 
lems of  the  present  year  In  Jefferson  County,  and  our

POSTMASTEB-GENEEAL  KEY  EEMiyDED  THAT 
HE  SPEAKS  WITHOUT  AUTHOEITY,  AND 
THAT  HIS  *'CBINGINO  ATTITUDE"  IS  NOT 
IKDOBSED. 

From  the  Norfolk  Tirginian,  Aug.  18. 

"We  like  to  see  a  feeling  of  reconciliation  be- 
tween the  sections.  We  are  willing,  for  our  part,  to 
let  by-gones  be  by-gones,  and,  forgetting  the  enmiUes 
of  the  past,  to  work  together  for  the  good  of  a  com- 
mon country.  But  we  do  not  believe  that  it  Is  the 
duty  of  the  Southern  people  to  humble  themselves  in 
the  dust,  and  at  the  feet  of  their  Northern  brethren^ 
and  to  take  npon  themselves  all  the  blame  of  the  late 
unpleasantness.  What  we  did  we  did  conscientiously 
and  honestly,  and  if  we  wronged  any  one  it  was  our- 
selves, by  an  error  as  to  the  true  poUcy,  and  not  as 
to  right. 

Postmaster-General  Key  occupies  a  ve^  delicate 
position,  and  one  which  requires  a  most  delicate  tact. 
He  is  the  only  Southern  man  in  the  President's 
Cabinet,  the  only  Democrat  in  that  body,  and,  with 
or  without  our  consent,  is  generally  regarded,  and 
appears  to  regard  himself,  as  the  representative  of 
the  South  in  his  official  position.  He  has  been 
traveling  through  the  countrr  upon  various  occasions 
with  the  President,  and  at.th*  receptions  of  his 
Excellency  alone  his  journey,  is  generally  brought 
forwwrd  toward  the  close  of-  the  entertainment  like 
the  trick  mule  for  the  special  delight  of  the  audience. 

The  Presidential  caravan  performed  at  Benning- 
ton, in  Vermont,  the  otheraay.  on  the  occasion  of  the 
Centennial  of  the  battle  at  that  place,  and  after  the 
other  performers  had  concluded,  Mr.  Key  came  tipon 
the  stage  in  his  peculiar  character  of  the  repentant 
rebel  office-holder.  Judge  Key  seems  to  have  been 
in  a  warmly  repentant  mood,  and  addressed  the 
stranee  crowd  around  him  affectionatel  v  thus :  "  My 
dear  meuds,  this  is  grateful  to  me.  I  oo  not  accept 
it  as  a  personal  compHmeDt  to  me,  but  as  an  indica- 
tion of  fraternal  feeling  on  the  part  of  our  Northern 
friends  to  their  errivg  Southern  brethren." 

We  would  like  to  know  who  made  Postmaster- 
General  Key  a  spokesman  for  the  people  of  the 
South,  and  anthorued  hhn  to  make  confession  for  us. 
We  are  sick  and  tired  of  the  cringing  attitude  which 
this  self-appointed  representative  of  Southern  senti- 
ment assumes  on  all  public  ocC&slons.  Tbe  people 
of  the  South  admit  that  they  went  to  war  and  got 
the  worst  of  it,  •  But  thoy  have  never  yet  admitted 
that  they  did  wrong  in  fighting  for  a  just  cause. 
They  feiled  in  it,  and  they  accept  the  result  like 
men.  But  they  scorn  to  go  itinerating  around 
the  world  slandering  their  own  action,  and  suelng 
for  clemency  In  self-abasement :  and  when  Judge 
Key  undertakes  hereafter  to  eat  dirt  for  the  amuse- 
ment of  his  audience,  we  hope  he  will  have  the 
honesty  to  do  it  for  himself,  and  not  attempt  to  give 
honor  to  the  operation  by  forging  the  Inaomement 
of  the  Southern  people.  We  are  perfectly  willing  to 
meet  men  of  all  sections  on  equal  terms  and  with 
open  hands,  but  we  decline  altogether  to  make  our 
appearance  with  bowed  heads  and  bated  breath,  tn 
the  character  of  '•  erring  Southern  brethren." 

ACCIDENT  TO  AX  EX-KISa  OF  SPAIN 


A  jRirSSIAy  PSIXCESS  ROBBED. 
Princess  Catherine,  wife  of  Prince  Vladimir 
of  Russia,  has  been  the  victim  of  an  audadons  theft 
while  traveling  from  Parls-to  TrouvUle.  On  starting 
from  St.  Lazarre  Station,  a  number  of  small  nackets 
were  put  into  the  carriage  in  which  tho  Princess 
traveled,  and  among  them  was  one  containing  jewels 
of  the  value  of  60, 00t>  francs  and  a  number  of 
private  letters.  On  arrival  at  TrouviUe,  it  was  dis- 
covered that  the  parcel  containing  the  i^els  had 
been  abstracted,  and  a  search  for  the  thieves  was 
immediately  instituted,  but  without  anv  result.  It 
is  supposed  that  the  theft  was  committed  before  the 
train  started  from  Paris.  Princess  Catherine  remem- 
bers that  while  she  was  taking  leave  of  her  friends  at 
St.  lAzarre,  two  elegantly  dressed  ladies  entered  the 
compartment,  (u»l  left  immediately  afterward,  saying 
that  they  were  gc^ng  into  another  carriage.  No  trace 
of  the  stolen  proper^  has  been  dlscoverwL

MiDDLETOWH,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  19.— There 
were  numerous  ineidentSf  not  only  of  interoHt 
but  of  great  historical  Importance,  connected 
with  the  provocation  of  the  late  war  for  the 
Union  which  hare  never  found  a  place  in  any 
of  the  many  so-called  histories  of  that  event. 
Prominent  among  these  is  that  of  Gen.  Wistar's 
attempt  to  capture  Bichmond  in  the  month  of 
February,  1864 — an  attempt  which  would  have 
been  crowned  with  success,  and  ueen  the  most 
brilliant  event  of  the  war,  and  no  doubt  have 
caused  our  political  history  of  the  past  five  years 
to  be  entirely  different,  but  for  the  crime  and 
treachery  of  one  insignificant  member  of  the 
Army.  The  particulars  of  the  incident  are  re- 
lated by  a  gentleman  of  this  place,  formerly  of 
New-York,  who  was  in  a  position  at  the  time  to' 
be  conversant  with  all  the  plans  of  the  move- 
ment and  its  minor  details.  This  gentle- 
man is  Major  David  E.  Cronin,  an  artist, 
and  now  editor  of  the  Middletown 
Daily  Argtu.  Williamsburg,  Va.,  in 
the  early  part  of  1864,  was  the  point  nearest 
Richmond  then  held  by  the  Union  forces.  Gen. 
J.  J.  Wistar  was  in  commaivd  of  the  troops  on 
the  peninsula  above  Fortress  Monroe,  and  Lee's 
forces  were  confronted  on  the  Rapidan  by  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  and  held  in  position  there. 
In  the  latter  part  of  1863,  and  up  to  the  time 
that  Wistar's  attempt  was  made,  deserters  from 
the  Confederate  Army,  Union  refugees,  and 
escaped  Federal  nrisoners  reached  our 
lines  at  and  about  Williamsburg  almost 
daily  from  Bichmond.  They  all  brought 
one  story  of  the  defenseless  condition  of  that 
city,  there  being  but  a  small  force  of  soldiers 
there,  and  they  undisciplined  home  guards. 
That  part  of  the  peninsula  between  Williams- 
burg and  Bichmond  was  unusually  free  from 
the  presence  of  rebel  scouts,  and  there  was 
nothing  to  prevent  the  rapid  passage  of  a  large 
body  of  troops  onward  tjn  the  rebel  capital.  A 
sudden  dash,  it  wa,s  believed,  would  result  in 
the  easy  capture  of  the  city  and  the  conse- 
quent release  of  tho  prisoners  in  Libby 
Prison  and  Gastle  Thunder.  More  impor- 
tant as  affecting  the  militiry  situation,  the 
railroad  bridge  over  the  James  River  could 
be  destroyed,  Jeff.  Davis  captured,  and  the 
rebel  siege  guns .  spiked,  The  idea  met  the 
hearty  indorsement  of  the  leading  officers  at  a 
council  of  war  held  to  consider  it,  and  an  expe- 
dition was  secretly  planned  to  carry  it  out,  the 
reports  brought  in  by  the  refugees  and  desert- 
ers having  just  been  substantiated  bv  Sergt. 
Plunkett  and  Major  Howard,  who  succeedod  in 
entering  Richmond  and  returning  safely  with 
the  information. 

When  the  Union  forces  took  up  a  position  at 
Williamsburg,  Lieut.  W.  W.  Dissoway,  of  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.,  was  appointed  Provost  Marshal. 
John  Boyle,  a  soldier  of  the  Provost  Guard,  ou 
the  night  of  the  13th  of  October.  1863,  was 
guilty  of  disorderly  conduct,  and  Lieut.  Disos- 
way  attempted  to  place  him  under  arrest.  Boyle 
shot  the  officer  dewl.  The  murdered  man  was  a 
young  man  of  g;reat  promise  and  very  popular 
in  camp.  His  murderer  was  taken  into  custotly 
at  once,  tried,  and  sentenced  to  death.  Fort 
Magrmder.  near  Williamsburg,  was  selected  as 
his  place  of  confinement  until  the  day  of  his  ex- 
ecution arrived.  On  the  1st  of  February.  1864. 
one  of  the  guards  at  the  fort  allowed  Bovlo  to 
escape.  He  was  not  recaptured,  and  his  wherea- 
bouts could  not  be  learned.  The  guard  was 
tried  and  executed.  When  the  confirmatory- 
news  brought  back  from  Bichmond  by  the  two 
Union  scouts  was  received,  large  forces  of 
troops  began  guietly"  to  join  Gen.  Wistar's 
command  until  it  had,incroa.se.-lto  a  full  brigade 
of  infantry — the  First  New-York  Mounted,  the 
Fifth  and  Eleventh  Pennsylvania,  and  the  First 
District  of  Columbia  Cavalry  Regiments.  AU 
was  in  readiness  to  make  the  important  move 
on  the  morning  of  the  5th  of  Februarj-,  1 SG4. 
Gen.  Wistar  promulgated  a  stirring  general 
order,  giving  the  objects  of  the  expedition,  and 
detailing  the  great  results  that  would  follow  if 
it  were  successful.  Officers  and  men  were  picked 
from  the  most  daring  of  the  Army  for  the  spe- 
cial duties  of  capturing  the  rebel  President,  re- 
leasing tho  prisoners,  spiking  the  guns,  and  de- 
stroying bridges  after  the  canture.  The  expe- 
dition created  the  most  Intense  enthusiasm 
among  the  soldiers,  and  none  during  the  war 
was  entered  upon  with  such  promising  signs  of 
complete  success.  To  still  further  contribute  to 
the  success  of  the  movement.  Gen.  Sedgwick's 
corps  was  sent  across  the  Rapidan  to  engage  the 
attention  of  a  large  portion  of  Lee's  army. 

Bottom's  Bridge,  13  miles  fr6m  Bich- 
mond, was  reached  the  same  night,  after  a 
march  of  47  miles.  This  bridge  crossed  the 
Chickahomlny  River.  When  McClellan  was 
manoeuvring  about  Richmond  during  his  at^ 
tempts  on  that  point,  earth-worlts  had  been 
thrown  up  at  this  bridge  on  the  opposite  bank 
of  the  stream.  Wistar's  forces  were  baited  at 
Bottom's  Bridge  to  camp  for  the  night.  During 
the  night  long  lines  of  troops  were  discovered 
by  the  Union  forces,  dimly  outlined  in  the 
gloom,  marching  steadily  down  the  road  on  the 
opposite  side  and  taking  up  a  position  in  the^e 
intrenchments.  Soon  afterward  they  opened  a 
volley  of  artillery  and  musketry  on  the  Union 
camp.  Daylight  revealed  a  fact  which  the  com- 
manding officers  had  feared  since  the  appear- 
ance of  the  rebels  on  the  other  aide.  The  enemy 
had  gathered  in  large  force,  and  a  detach- 
ment from  the  Union  line  suffered  con- 
siderable loss  while  reoonnoitring.  The  ad- 
vance of  Wistar  had  been  learned  In  some  way 
by  the  rebeLs,  and  all  hope  of  its  success  was  at 
once  destroyed,  the  exj)editlon  having  been 
planned  with  no  other  object  than  effecting  a 
complete  surprise  of  the  forces  in  Richmond. 
No  defeat  in  the  whole  war  caused  heavier 
hearts  or  more  bitter  disappointment  than  the 
f  ailnre  of  this  attempt  on  Richmond. 

'The  manner  in  which  news  of  the  intended 
movement  of  Gen.  Wistar  reached  the  rebel 
capital  was  for  a  long  time  a  mystery,  but  it 
was  at  last  ascertained  that  the  murderer  Boyle 
reached  Richmond,  and  had  been  able  to,  and 
did,  give  sufficient  idea  of  tbe  proposed  expedi- 
tion to  the  rebels  to  put  them  on  their  guard 
and  to  cause  them  to  take  measures  to  learn  at 
once  the  advance  of  Wistar  as  soon  as  his  forces 
started.  Boyle  returned  to  New- York  City 
after  the  war,  and  still  lives  there,  having  been 
seen  and  talked  with  by  members  of  his  regi- 
ment. "  He  carries  with  him,"  says  Major 
Cronin,  "  not  only  tbe  guilt  of  an  atrocious 
murder,  but  the  consciousnessof  having  thwarted 
one  of  the  boldest  and  best  planned  expeditions 
of  the  whole  war."

THE  ARREST  OF  BANK  FORGERS. 


PROBABLE  EAST    SLOE  MURDER. 


A  3COJ  BEATEN  AND  TEKRIBLT  CDT  WITH  A 
KNIFE — ONE  OF  THE  KUBOEREBS  AB- 
BKSTED. 
Yesterday  morning  at  1:40  Andrew  Collins, 
aged  23,  of  No.  404  East  Sixteenth-street ;  James 
KiUeen,  of  First-avenue,  near  Seventeenth-street ; 
James  Daly,  of  No.  420  East  Eleventh-street.  and 
several  others  were  plajing  cards  in  the  liquor 
saloon  comer  of  Seventlustreet  and  Avenue  A.  A 
quarrel  ensued  over  the  Kame  between  Collins,'  Kil- 
leen,  and  X>aly,  and  after  some  words  they  went  out 
to  the  sidewalk.  Tliere  Collins  and  KiUeen 
came  to  blows,  and  Killeen  picked  up  a 
hav  bale  stick,  and  knocked  CoUlns  down 
with  it  and  boat  him  quite  severely,  and  then  Daly 
took  the  same  stick  and  struck  Collins  with  it  as  he 
was  about  to  rise.  The  men  were  then  separated  and 
left,  Kileeu  and  Daly  going  together  In  one  direc- 
tion, and  CoIlijiH  ■''  another.  Some  time  after, 
daring       the       «■"■  morning,       Killeen       and 

Daly  again  ::i(  Collins,  near  the  comer 
of  Sixteenth  and  First-avenue,  and  Daly  snid : 
"  There  he  is — give  it  to  him  now  good!"  With 
that  tlie  two  rushed  upon  Collins,  and  Killeen  pnlled 
oat  a  knife  and  stabbed  him  several  times  with  it. 
and  then  he  and  Daly  fled,  leavinj;  their 
'victim  upon  the  sidewalk  in  a  helpless 
state,  covered  with  blood.  Officer  O'NeUl,  of 
the  Eighteenth  Precinct,  foond  the  woanded  man, 
and  lum  liim  conveyed  to  Bellevne  Hospital  Daly 
was  soon  afterward  arrested,  and  was  taken  to  the 
hospital  last  night,  and  ttiera  identified  by  Col- 
elins  as  one  of  bis  assailants.  Killeen  is  still 
at  large.  Daly  when  arrested  confessed  the  whole 
transaction,  and  gave  each  {nformation  aa  will  nn- 
doubtedly  lead  to  Killeeu's  arrest.  Last  night  at 
midnight  Collins'  condition  was  so  very  critical 
that  Coroner  Flanagan  was  summoned,  and 
attended  'with  Deputy  Coroner  Miller.  They 
made  an  examination  of  Collins,  and  found 
him  to  be  mortally  woanded,  with  bat  few  minutes 
to  live.  He  was  cct  about  the  abdomen  in  a  most 
horrible  manner,  several  of  the  intestines  being  com- 
pletely severed.  The  Coroner  took  the  injured  man's 
ante-mortem  statement,  which  was  in  accordance 
'With  the  above  f aeU.

.Chicago,  m.,  Aug.  19. — A  report  was 
published  here  yesterday  by  one  of  the  morn- 
ing papers  relative  to  the  arrest  of  certain 
parties  supposed  to  belong  to  a  gang  of  forgers 
who  had  been  operating  extensively  in  this 
eity,  New-York,  and  other  places.  Inquiry  of 
officials  here  failed  to  elicit  any  definite  facts, 
and  the  story  was  generally  discredited-  It  is 
now  known,  however,  that  yesterday  morning 
Constable  Eartman  arrested  in  this  eity 
two  men  named  Weston  and  Gesner'ion 
charge  of  forgery.  It  appears  that  these 
men,  working  in  connection  with  a  man 
named  Stevens  and  other  accomplices  through- 
out tho  country,  have  for  some  time  been  car- 
rying on  a  system  of  forgeries,  from  which  they 
have  realized  large  sums  of  money.  In  Janu- 
ary last  the  Third-National  Bank  of  New-York 
was  defrauded  of  $27,000  by  means  of  checks 
purporting  to  have  been  drawn  by  Wiuslow, 
Lanier  &  Co.  About  the  same  time  a  check  for 
$40,000,  purporting  to  have  been  drawn  by  the 
New- York  Life  Insurance  Company  on  Union 
Trust  Company,  of  New- York,  was  presented 
and  paid.  There  had  been  other  similar  opera- 
tionsknown,  but  never  made  public.  Representa- 
tives of  New-York  houses  employed  to  investigate 
these  forgeries  have  been  following  up  the 
suspected  parties  for  several  months,  and 
have  found  that  the  leader  of  the  gang  is  a  man 
of  wealth  and  respectability  named  Stevens, 
alias  Henderson,  who  has  been  known  here  as  a 
speculator .  in  grain  and  stocks.  ^Next  to  him 
comes  Nelson  A,  Gresner,  a  /Wealthy  man 
of  Minnesota,  and  formerly  a/member  of  the 
Legislature  of  that  State.  Associated  'nith  them 
was  one  E.  B.  Weston,  of  thisjcity,  formerlv  a 
real  estate  agent.  Upon  examining  Ges- 
ner's  trunk  after  his  arrest  it  'was 
found  to  contain  a  large  assortment  of 
implements  necessary  to  his  profession, 
including  inks,  microscopes,  acids,  brushes, 
pens,  tracing  implements,  &c  In  Weston's 
possession  were  found  a  number  of  washed 
drafts  on  which  everything  had  been  obliterated 
by  acid  except  cashiers'  signatures.  When 
dealing  in  drafts  it  was  the  custom 
to  buy  them  for  small  amounts 
and  then  obliterate  with  acid  all  ink  marks 
except  the  Cashiers'  names.  Before  this  was 
done,  however,  a  careful  erasing  was  ac- 
complished, and  when  larger  amounts  were 
written  in  on  the  face  of  the  draft'  they 
had  on  the  tracing  a  fac-simile  of  a  num- 
ber of  the  letters  and  of  the  figures  which 
were  used  in  the  greater  amounts.  In  <fealing 
in  checks  they  would  learn  from  some  one  in  a 
bank  or  office  of  a  firm  depositing  in  a  particu- 
lar bank  just  how  the  deposit  account 
stood,  in  order  not  to  overdraw  the  account. 
It  is  Bald  that  some  forged  checks  haw)  been 
drawn  for  sums  as  high  a^  $75,000. 

The  developments  so  far  indicate  that  these 
men  are '  part  of  an  organizud  gang  of 
the  most  dangerous  forgers  that  bas  ex- 
isted for  years.  It  is  estimated  that  they 
have  swindled  various  banks  out  of  millions  of 
dollars.  Stevens  was  arrested  near  Grand 
Haven  yesterday,  and  is  now  on  his  ^ay  to 
New- York.  The  officers  having  in  charge  Wes- 
ton and  Gesner  left  for  New-York  with  their 
prisoners  yesterday  evening.

Bpectal  Divxit^  to  Ote  yetp-Tork  Timet. 

Hartpobd,  Conn.,  Aug.  19.— A  bold 
scheme,  new  in  tbia  section,  was  perpetrated 
here!  to-night.  Yesterday  posters  were  put  up 
and  circulars  distributed,  announcing  that  a 
preliminery  sacred  concert  would  be  giren  in 
the  Opera-house  Sunday  evening  by  the  South 
Carolina  Jubilee  Singers.  Meanwhile  it  ap- 
pears that  members  of  tbe  company  distributed 
very  freely  complimentary  tickets,  largely 
among  merchants  who  had  allowed  posters  to  be 
placed  in  their  show-windows.  These  tickets 
bore  npon  their  face  this  condition:  "No  gen- 
tleman admitted  unless  accompanied  by  a  lady." 
When  the  Opera-hotise  doors  were  opened  a 
dense  crowd  was  in  waiting,  and  nearly  all  ia  it 
had  complimentaries,  showing  that  there  had 
been  a  diligent  scattering  of  them.  There 
seemed  to  be  no  let  up  to  the  applicants  for  ad- 
mission, for  OS  late  as  8:30  o'clock  b  undreds  were 
in  -waiting.  After  tbe  ticket-taker  had  got  in 
place,  he  shouted,  and  kept  at  it,  "AU  having 
complimentary  tickets  will  pass  up  stairs  to  the 
gallery."  This  is  a  dark,  dreary,  not  place,  not 
having  a  capacity  for  seating  comfortably  more 
than  200  peopfe.  Those  who  pressed  forward 
with  their  ticket*  were  told  that  if  they  did  not 
wish  to  eo  to  the  gallefy  they  could  be  admitted 
by  paying- 25  cents.  Everyman  who  appeared- 
with  a  complimentary,  or  course,  had  a  lady 
with  him.  and  felt  a  sort  of  em- 
barrassment if  she  was  not  his  wife 
or  intimate  acqaintance.  so  he  yielded 
to  compulsion  and  paid  rather  than  retire,  and 
so  the  scheme  succeeded  to  the  extijnt  of  flUing 
the  house.  Nothing  of  the  sort  was  ever  played 
here  before,  and .  much  excitement  prevailed 
over  it,  but  as  the  fellows  did  not  decline  to  ad- 
mit holders  of  the  complinien±ari*»8  it  is  difftcnlt 
to  see  where  they  are  leprally  liablf^.  It  has  es- 
tablished the  fact  that  there  are  plenty  of  silly 
dead-heads  in  Hartford. 


THE  NEIV-JERSEY  MUTUAL,

Mr.  Henky  C.  Kelsey,  Secretary  of  Stat©  of

frands  of  this  corporation  with  tbe  following  telling 
paragraph  : 

"  Developments  made  snbaeqnent  to  the  date  of

secure  loans,  the  securities  being  reported  as  In  pos-

honesty  the  exception."

Last  night  Michael  Brennan,  alias  Rubel,  and 
John  Casey  had  a  quarrel  on  tbe  comer  of  Twenty- 
eighth-street  and  Tenth-avenue,  and  Casey  struck 
Brennau  in  the  mouth.  James  Kelly,  aged  20,  of 
No.  504  West  Twenty-eighth- ■treet,  a  friend  of  both, 
interfered  to  separate  the  quarrelers,  when  Brennan 
stabbed  him  several  times  with  a  penknife,  one  of 
the  wounds  being  dangerous.  Brennan  then  ran 
away,  and  Kelly  was  removed  to  his  home. 

Last  evening  Henry  Pope,  a  c^rar-maker,  of  Ko.

GREAT  IMPROVEMENTS  APPARENT, 

FAST  BKCOMIK0A  BK&OBT  OP  THE  BETTER

HOTELS — AN  IMMENSE  ATTENDANCE  YES- 
TBBDAY— A  DAY  OF  UNQUALIFIED  PLEAS- 
URE—^THE  AMUSEMENTS  AKD  PECULIABI- 
TIES  OF  THE  PLACE. 
Yesterday  at  Coney  Island  was  a  perfect  day. 
A  breese  direct  from  the  ocean  strong  enough  to 
blow  the  heat  out  of  the  son's  rays,  yet  neither  hu- 
mid nor  boisterous,  kept  the  myriad  flags  on  top  of 
the  long  string  of  houses  of  entertainment  stretched 
out  and  stiff.  The  sky  was  cloudless-  The  tide  was 
on  the  rise  until  late  in  the  afternoon,  making  bath- 
ing safe  and  pleasant.  There  were  no  accidents  and 
there  was  no  misbehavior.  The  attendance  was 
probably  the  largest  and  most  respectable  ever  seen 
on  a  Stmday  on  the  island.  One  who  has  not  visited 
the  place  in  several  years,  or  even  In  a 
year,  will  be  astonished  at  the  improvements  that 
havetaKen  place  there  in  the  IntervaL  Not  the 
least  of  these  has  been  in  the  means  of  transporta- 
tion thither.  Kow  one  can  go  all  the  way  by  boat 
from  various  points  on  the  North  River  to  Norton  A 
Murray's  wiiarf  at  the  extreme  point  of  the  island. 
Or  by  two  different  lines  of  boats  to  Bay  Ridge,  and 
then  via  Gunther's  steam  railroad  to  where  Cables, 
Tanderveer's,*Tillyoa'8,  and  the  rest  of  the  old-time 
resorts  cluster ;  or  by  the  new  Manhattan  Beach 
RaUroad  to  the  new  and  pretentions  Manhattan 
Beach  Hotel  at  the  other  extreme  end  of  the 
island.  Or  he  can  by  first  using  the  slow  Brooklyn 
street-cars  start  from  Prospect  Park  via  the  Coney 
Island  steam  railroad.  The  old  Prospect  Park  and 
Coney  Island  horse-car  line  is  also  still  running  for 
the  use  of  those  whose  bones  do  not  lie  too  near  the 
outer  cuticle  and  who  have  lots  of  time  ou  tbeir  hands. 
Finally  there  is  the  magnificent  new  Fourth-Avenue 
Boulevard,  recently  completed  by  the  Brooklyn  Park 
Commissioners,  and  ending  in  a  splendid  asphalt- 
paved  "  ocean  parkway,"  parallel  with  the  beach  be- 
tween the  Ocean  Hotel  and  Cable's. 

All  these  routes  were  patronized  S'estorday  to 
their  utmost  capacity.  The  nnmerous  steamers 
were  black  with  passengers;  the  trains  were 
lengthened  out,  and  the  cars  were  packed  as  only 
cars  can  be  packed ;  men  hung  on  to  the  horse  rail- 
road cars  at  imminent  risk  of  life  and  limb,  and  the 
procession  ol  vehicles- down  the  boulevard  was  un- 
ending. The  manner  in  which  the  crowd  distributed 
themselves  would  have  been  another  subject  of  as- 
tonishment to  a  person  who  had  not  visited  the 
island  in  some  time.  Xox;ton  &  Murray's  beautiful 
new  pavilion  on  the  ocean's  edge  was  crammed 
but  thence,  until  the  mammoth  Atlantic  Garden  was 
reached,  the  chain  of  small,  unromfortnble  booths 
and  cottages  that  have  resisted  the  march  of  im- 
provement, and  remain  today  just  as  they  were 
vears  ago,  were  entirely  deserted,  Tlie  garden. 
Cable's,  Vanderveer's,  Tilyon's,  Ward's,  and  the 
other  large  and  elegant  structures  that  lie  nronud 
the  termini  of  the  Gunthcr  and  Coney  Island 
steam  railroads  and  tho  bonlevard.  could 
hardly  do  the  business  that  flowed  in  upon 
them.  The  old  Ocean  Hotel  above,  sus- 
tained by  its  past  reputation  and  by  its  favorable 
situation,  was  well  patronized.  One  wanted  to  go  on 
still  further,  however,  to  the  immense  new  caravan- 
sary, called  the  Manhattan  Beach  Hotel,  whose  site 
was  a  howling  wilderness,  the  abode  oC  snipe  and 
wild  duck  last  year,  to  learn  what  had  become  of  the 
mtdtitudes  carried  by  the  trains  and  the  boats.  But 
a.  month  ago  all  that  was  to  be  seen  there  was  a  mass 
of  beams  and  a  litter  of  shavings.  Yesterday  one  of 
largest  and  best  appointed  appearing  hotels  in  the 
country  uprose  out  of  the  salt  grass  and  sand,  and  so 
densely  peopled  were  its  acres  of  piazzas  and  dining- 
rooms  that  locomotion  through  them  was  a  matter  of 
slow  and  tedious  difBcnltv.  • 

There  can  be  no  doubt  of  tbe  attraction  that  causes 
such  an  unequal  distribution  of  patronage  on  the 
island.  Where  the  best  is  there  the  people  go,  there 
as  elsewhere.  But  it  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that  at  tbe 
resorts  mentioned  the  prices  are  enormously  ex- 
orbitant, while  those  places  that  were  deserted  yes- 
terday were  covered  with  signs  announcing  indigen- 
ous luxuries  of  all  sorts  at  almost  City  rates.  Coney 
Island  bas  been  called  the  people's  watering-place. 
If  this  be  true,  what  has  become  of  the  hard  times 
about  which  so  much  bas  been  sidd  and  written  late- 
ly !  But  is  Coney  Island  still  the  people's  resort,  or 
is  it  developing  into  something  else  ?  That  can  best  be 
answered  by  a  description  of  those  who  made  up  the 
multitude  of  yesterday's  pleasure-seekers.  Thej.- 
were  about  balf-and-hafr,  supposing  "the  people  ' 
to  mean  persons  of  tbe  mechanic  aud  small  trades- 
man cla4s.  The  rest  were  clerks,  salesmen,  mer- 
chanti,  politicians,  brokers,  and  persons  of  inde- 
pendent means  generally,  with  their  wives,  sisters, 
and  daughters.  Not  a  ^ew  among  the  throng  were 
men  occupying  positions  of  high  credit  in  the  com- 
munity, many  of  the  ladles  were  elegantly  and  richly 
attired,  and  among  the  thousHorts  or  vehicles  around 
the  hotels  a  verv  lante  proportion  were  private 
turnouts.  There  has  been  an  apparent  movement 
of  late  to  elevate  Coney  Island  into  a  position  among 
watering-places  that  her  great  natural  advantages  de- 
serve, and  it  is  equally  evident  that  the  movement 
is  meeting  with  eitranrdinary  success.  Of  all  the 
thousands  on  the  island  yesterday  there  was  not  one 
that  was  not  well  clad,  a^d  tlie  Police  say  that  tljey 
did  not  observe  a  single  instance  of  misbehavior  from 
morning  until  nightfall.  Among  the  strollers  on  the 
beach,  or  wher?  the  crowds  were  thickest,  a  close 
observer  acquunted  with  the  peculiar  features  of 
the  gentry  might  have  noticed  scveral'who  looked 
very  like  tliieves.  but  The  Times  reporter  could  not 
leam  that  they  attempted  any  "  business"  during  tbe 
day. 

The  first  rush  of  those  who  came  by'boat  or  traln^ 
or  horse-cars  was  for  the  bathing-htiu.ies.  Tbe  ca-' 
pacity  of  the  larger  hotels  proved  entirely  inadeouate 
to  suoply  the  deinund,  and  those  of  the  small  places 
before  mentioned  that  had  boxes  to  let  gained  their 
only  profit  of  the  day  from  the  overflow.  Still,  the 
rule  was  that  one  had  to  wait  patiently,  bathing 
clothes  in  hand,  until  a  box  was  vacated,  and  then 
pounce  upon  it  before  others  could  do  so.  Thousands, 
rather  than  go  to  the  bother,  did  without  their  bath. 
The  surf  in  front  of  the  principal  bathing  places  whs 
stuck  full  of  human  beings  all  day.  bobbmg  up  and 
down  and  splashing  around  and  enjoying  themselves 
to  the  top  of  their  bent.  After  the  bath  luncheon 
was  in  order.  The  army  of  waiters  at  the  various 
hotels  were  driven  at  high  pres-ture,  endeavoring  to 
attend  to  the  distmctiug  orders  of  the  guests.  Many 
j;en5ible  persons  brought  their  own  food  in  baskets 
and  onlv  patronized  the  hotels  to  the  extent  of  beer, 
tea,  coffee,  or  other  liquids.  It  is  a  feature  of  Coney 
Island  that  these  were  welcomed  to  the  tables  of  th*e 
hotels  quite  as  heartily  as  tho  otherguests.  Theonly 
distinction  seemed  to  be  that  tbe  picnickers  remained 
on  the  piazzas  outside,  and  the  others  ate  in  the  din- 
ing-rooms. The  quantity  of  liqnid  stimnJants  sold 
during  the  day  must  have  been  enormous  ;  yet  the 
reporter  saw  but  three  persons  at  all  under  the  hi- 
fluence,  and  they  did  not  misconduct  themselves. 

The  important  preliminaries  of  bath  and  luncheon 
settled,  the  methods  of  amusement  resorted  to  were 
multifarious.  The  edge  of  the  beacn  was  lined  all 
day  witli  strollers  passing  .and  rcpasllng  from  one 
end  of  the  island  to  the  other.  The  wet  sand  made 
good  walking,  but  every  little  while  a  wave  came 
along  that  made  the  walkers  scnrry  oS  side- 
ways in  a  hurry  to  keep  their  shoes  dr>-. 
Some  of  tbe  lazier  sort  -paid  25  cents  and 
rode  in  primitive  stages  with  broad-tired  wheels,  a 
number  of  which  made  trips  up  and  down  the  beach. 
Toward  evening  Superintendent  Hartfteld,  of  Mr, 
Bergh's  society,  examined  the  jadwl  beasts  that  drew 
them,  and  discovered  that  a  number  of  them  were 
suffering  from  painful  sores  under  their  haniess.  He 
ordered  three  vehicles  out  of  line  for  this  oflFense. 
Watching  the  batliers  w-is  a  never-falling 
source  of  interest.  Then  there  was  baso-btdl  practice. 
The  wooden  figures  with  movable  heads  which 
came  into  such  prominence  on  the  beach  earlier  in 
tbe  season  have  been  almost  ^tlrely  superseded  by 
empty  bottles  placed  on  tt-mporary  stands.  There 
were  a  number  of  these.  For  five  cents  one  was  per- 
niitted  to  shy  six  base-halls  at  a  bottle.  Five  cents 
was  the  reward  for  hitting  it  once  and  50  for  hitting 
it  three  times.  There  was  but  one  of  the  old  style 
figures  on  the  place.  A  variation  appeared, 
however,  in  the  shape  of  a  stuffed  figure 
with  a'eown,  a  black  iace,  and  a  nightcap.  In 
the  mouth  was  a  clay  pipe,  and  tbe  end  of  the  play- 
ers'  skill  was  to  break  this.  Tin-  missiles  were 
rounded  sticks  about  a  foot  and  a  half  long.  There 
was  the  usual  number  of  jugglers  and  acrobats  in 
parti-colored  tights  and  spauKles,  who  swallowed 
knives,  ate  handfuls  of  tow,  breathed  fire,  lighted 
cigars  from  tlieir  mouths,  and  performed  feats  of 
ground  and  lofty  tumbling.  One  follow,  whose  pe- 
culiar feat  was  to  release  liimself  from  an  apparently 
intricate  tyingup  from  head  to  heels  with  a  stout 
rope,  performed  iivident.tlly  another  trick  which 
deserves  to  be  recorded.  Aitt-r  lieing  bound,  he  in- 
sisted  on  having  the  coUectinn  taken  before  proceed- 
ing to  undo  hiinself.  His  ussi&taut  having  gone  the 
rounds,  the  pair  ostentatiously  counted  the  amount 
received.  It  was  then  invariably  announced  that  jujit 
75  cents  had  been  taken  up,  and  the  crowd  was  ap- 
pealed to,  always  with  success,  to  contribute 
the  other  quarter.  A  band  of  negro  bone, 
guitar,  and  banjo  players,  with  a  leader 
who  sang  and  acted  tbe  "Mulligan  Qoards,'' 
and  other  Irish  airs  in  excellent  style,  gathered  a 
harvest  of  nickels.  Tbe  Aquarium  did  a  rushing 
business,  although  it  is  but  a  poor  affair  considertog 
its  pretensions.  Ho  did  the  big  stereopticon,  and  the 
marionettes,  and  the  camera  obscura,  and  the  pho- 
tographers, and  the  shaggy  Uttle  donkeys  that  no 
amount  of  beating  will  start  oat  of  a  walk.  The 
straw-hatted,  barefooted  natives  who  peddle  clama, 
crabs,  and  lobsters  out  of  boats  nnder  awnings 
on  the  beach  were  kept  hard  at  work;  twoli- 
censed  venders'  wagon^  sold  peaches  like  hot  cakes, 
and  a  man  with  what  must  have  been  a  schooner- 
load  of  watermelons  laid  the  foundation  of  a  fortune. 
Ijovers  sat  in  the  sand  under  umbrellas  In  retired 
nooks.  A  delleions  smell  of  roasting  olams  flll*d  the 
sea-scented  idr.    Everyt>ody  was  happy. 

About  dusk  myriads  of  mnsquitoea  fell  upon  tha 
strangers  and  the  homeward  rush  began.  There  was 
a  terrible  jam  at  the  steam-boat  and  railroad  gate- 
wan*.     Kvezybudir  WM  in  good  luimor.  however. 


and  the  sqneeiiag  and  disarrangement  of  cloth- 
ing went  for  nothing.  Two  Steam-boat  In- 
spectors were  on  hand  to  see  that  each 
boat  carried  no  more  than  its  proportion.  The 
jourikfiy  was  marked  principally  by  singing  in  voices 
sweet  and  voices  discordant,  and  by  much  good, 
natored  chaffing.  Some  naughty  girls  on  the  ooat 
made  themselves  conspicuous  bv  pn-oVing  cieaiettes, 
and  a  ndld  sensation  v.-as  createit  •  y  ^ w  iman  tainting. 
It  took  a  dozen  matrons  an  hour  .  o  .n  .m:  her  to,  and 
the  services  of  a  policeman  were  required  to  keep  the 
curions  crowd  from  the  door  of  the  state-room  which 
the  Captain  placed  at  the  woman's  service.  The 
heaTily.laden  Doat  was  nearly  an  hour  loneer  than 
usual  m  making  the  passage  to  New- York.  Then  her 
tired  bat  jolly  passengers  dispersed  to  their  several 
homes,  very  much  the  better  for  ^eir  day's  mild  dis- 
sipation.

IXTERESTIXa  TO  CIGAR  SitOKEIlS. 
A  publican  of  Walsall,  England,  recently 
brou^^t  aa  action  against  a  firm  of  cigar  merchants 
of  Birmingham,  to  recover  damans  for  an  alleged 
breach  of  contract.  It  appears  that  a  traveler  rep- 
resenting the  cigar  firm  one  day  called  on  the  plaintiff 
and  solicited  an  order.  This  the  plaintiff  gave,  but 
more  because  he  was  pressed  than  anvthine  el«e. 
The  order  was  for  50  boxes  of  *'  Queen 
Victorias, "  yrhich  he  was  told  were  in  bond 
at  Hull.  The  money  was  paid,  and  the 
plaintiff  received  a  dock  warrant,  so  that  he  might 
obtain  the  cigars,  which  he  did  after  some  delay ; 
but,  instead  of  "  Queen  Victorias. "  he  found  thera 
to  bear  the  brand  "Don  Hermanos."  The  plaintiff 
wonld  not  accept  "Dons  "  for  "  Qneons."  and  wrote 
to  the  cigar  firm  telling  them  so.  The  cis»ar  firm  re- 
plied that,  if  he  would  send  the  goods  back,  they 
would  "  soon  make  all  right  by  p;Ltting  a  Queen  Vic- 
toria on  them !"  The  plaintiff  s;iid  that  this 
might  do  for  cigar-dealers,  but  it  would  not 
do  for  him  ;  and  he  further  rorapl.'iined  that  the 
Clears  were  quite  green  and  out  of  condi- 
tion. He  sent  them  back,  and  the  week  after  he 
received  some  others  In  return  for  them.  These, 
however,  he  found  on  opening  the  box  were  similar 
cigars,  though  on  the  cover  was  a  "beautiful  label'* — 
"  Queen  Victorias :"  and  on  remox-ins  this  "  beautiful 
lalieV  he  found  underneath  the  brand.  "I>ou  Her- 
manos!"  The  "Dons"  or  "Queens' — whichever 
they  were — ^were  bundled  bark  again  fo  Birminch.ira. 
and*  the  plaintiff  placed  the  matter  in  the  hands  of 
his  solicitors :  but  since  the  writ  had  been  ser\'ed  tho 
genuine  " Queen  Victorias"  had  come  to  hand:  and 
now  it  was  desired  not  to  continue  tne  case,  which 
was  met  by  the  withdrawal  of  a  juror.  The  whole  of 
the  defense  was  gone  into,  but  it  was  stated  thnt 
•' Queen  Mctorias"  and  "  Don  Hormanos"  were  the 
same  kind  of  cigars.  

HORSE-RACING  IN  &WEDEX. 
The  records  of  horse-racing  have  lately  drawn 
attention  to  Sweden  as  one  of  the  countries  which 
England  has  supplied  with  the  means  of  producing 
a  good  class  of  thorough-bred.  It  Is  not  easy  to  say 
when  the  Swedish  head  first  took  in  the  idea  of  im- 
porting a  thorough-bred  from  England  ;  but  it  is  cer- 
tainly upon  record  that  as  Iong^igoa.<i  ISSOthe 
.Sweden  became  possessed  of  Rubini,  who  had  won 
the  Goo^fwood  Cup,  at  5  years  of  ace,  in  1S33.  In 
lS62.Sweden  appears  in  the  chronicles  as  the  pur- 
chaser of  two  mares — to  wit.  Covenant  Bow, 
by  Touchstone,  and  Peace,  by  Van  Tromp. 
She  afterward  extended  her  operal  ions  so  n^ 
that,  in  the  last  volume  of  the  Stud  Boot,  there  aw 
set  down  to  her  account  1^  horses  and  17  mares. 
By  those  purchases  she  obtained  forheri^elf  the  blood

The  System  is  often  so  rapidly  reduced  by  a 
severe  attack  of  diarrhea  or  other  affection  of  the

MoXDAT,  Aug.  20— A.  M.    ; 

The  statement  of  the  Associated  Banks, 
Is^ed  from  the  Clearing-liouse  on  Saturday  last, 
Khows  a  decrease  in  all  the  averages,  deposits 
being  do\Tn  $2,017,000,  specie  $1,581,000, 
loans,  $1,480,000.  legal  tenders  $398,800,  and 
circulation  $143,600.  The  movement  for  the 
■week  results  in  a  decrease  of  $1,475,550  in 
snrplua  reserve,  and  the  banks  now  hold  $12,- 
792,000  in  excess  of  legal  requirements. 

The  following  shows  the  condition  of  the 
hanks  this  week,  compared  with  the  previous 
statement,  and  with  the  statement  for  the  corre- 
sponding week  last  year :

Cirrnl'n.     15,689.000     15.545,900     14.71't,600 

The  monetary  situation  was  characterized  hy 
ea.se  during  the  week,  and  the  banks  and  pri- 
vate capitalists  have  large  amounts  of  money 
available  to  borrowers  on  call  at  2®3  ^  cent., 
notwithstanding  the  recent  decrease  in  'their 
legal-tender  average.  •  The  Government  bond 
dealers  were  supplied  in  some  instances  as  low 
OS  llsS  2  ¥  cent.  In  the  market  for  commer- 
cial paper  the  feature  has  been  the  increased 
applications  for  discounts  at  bank  by  the  mer- 
chants here,  consequent  upon  the  opening  of 
the  Fall  trade,  and  the  demand  from  Western 
banks,  which  was  more  active  than  for  some 
time  past.  Prime  indorsed  business  notes  are 
quoted  at  4I2  to  C  t*  cent. 

The  foreign  advices  reported  the  London  mar- 
ket for  securities  lower  early  in  the  week;  owing 
to  an  advance  in  the  rates  formoneyinthe  open 
market  and  the  expectation  that  the  Bank  of 
England  rate  of  discount  would  be  advanced  on 
Thursdav-  The  Dii'ectors,  however,  made  no 
alteration  in  the  rate  at  their  weekly  meeting, 
»nd  Consols  recovered  a  fraction  at  the  close. 
The  Bank  of  England  lost  £465,000  bullion  for 
the  week  ending  "Wednesday.  .. 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  weak,  es- 
pecially for  GO^day  bills.  There  was  only  a  very 
limited  demand  for  remittances,  and,  as  the  sup- 
ply of  commercial  bUls  is  on  the  increase,  rates 
tended  in  a  downward  direction.  The  demand 
for  bills  was  checked  by  the  belief  that  the  large 
crop  of  cereals  and  the  near  approach  of  the  cot- 
ton season  will  naturally  depress  the  market 
still  farther. 

Government  bonds  were  fairly  active  early  in 
the  week,  but  toward  the  close  became  quiet. 
Prices  generally  advanced  hi'S'K^  %*"  cent.,  the 
improvement  being  maintained  at  the  close. 
In  railroad  mortgages  a  strong  tone  prevailed 
nnd  prices  advanced  lo  to  5  ^^  cent.,  the  West- 
em  railway  and  the  coal  road  issues  having 
been  most  conspicuous  in  the  upward  move- 
ment. Purchases  were  stimulated  by  tho 
favorable  reports  in  regard  to  the  crops  and  by 
sharp  advatri»-in  the  .share  list.  State  bonds 
were  quiet  on-slight  variations  in  prices. 

Speculation  en  the  Stock  Exchange  was  quite 
active  throughout  the  week,  and,  except  at  rare 
intervals,  characterized  by  a  very  strong  tone. 
Tho  improvement  in  prices  was  not  confined 
to  any  particular  class  of  shares,  -but  ex- 
tended to  almost  tho  entire  list.  The  advance 
■was,  doubtless,  in  some  measure  duo  to  manipu- 
lation, but,  nevertheless,  it  must  be  admitted 
that  evidences  are  not  wanting  of  the  growth 
0  f  a  more  hopeful  feeling  in  regard  to  the  future 
of  trade  and  business,  which  naturally  tends  to 
stimulate  purchasers  of  stocks.  ^lerchants  and 
financiers  are  evidently  imbued  with  tie  belief 
that  tho  prolonged  period  of  business  stagna- 
tion is  about  over,  and  that  the  country  is  en- 
tering on  an  era  of  at  least  comparative  pros- 
perity. Wall-street  is,  of  course,  prompt  to 
respond  to  any  signs  of  improvement  in  the 
outside  situation,  and  in  this  connection  it  is 
not  a  matter  of  surprise  that  the  atrictly  com- 
mission-houses are  able  to  report  that  their 
orders  are  increasing.  Among  the  speeiid  in- 
£uences  afTecting  the  course  of  the  market  were 
the  negotiations  for  a  settlement  between  the 
rival  telegraph  companies.  The  joint  commit- 
tee representing  the  two  corporations  met  o> 
Tuesday  last,  and  although  nothing  official  in 
xegaid  to  their  deliberations  Transpired,  the  be- 
lief very  generally  obtains  that  a -satisfactory 
emmgement  has  been  effected.  The  eonmuttee 
hold  on  adjourned  session  to-day,  and  the  an- 
nouncement of  tho  final  result  of  their  labors,  is 
likely  to  exercise  a  considerable  infiuence  on 
the  futuie  comae  of  spectilation.

THE  REORQANIZEI>  SERVIAN  ARMY. 
Having  l>een  reorganized  aince  the  conclu- 
sion of  tlie  late  hostilities  with  Turkey,  the 
Senian  Army  Is  at  the  present  time  divided  into  four 
so-called  *'  territorial  corps."  In  time  of  war  these 
again  resolve  themselves  into  four  active  or  field 
army  corps,  aud  four  reser%-ed  corps.  The  troops  of 
the  Army  nro  either  regiilar  or  national  soldiers  ; 
these  latter  again  being  divided  Into  active  or  field 
troops  and  reserve  troops.  The  regular  or  per- 
mauent  troops  comprise  only  Infantry  and 
cavahy.  The  active  national  Army,  on  the  other 
hand,  includes  all  the  arms.  Toe  strength  of 
the  mjveral  portions  of  the  Army  at  the 
present  moment  hi  as  follows ;  Of  infantry  there 
are  four  rej^ular  or  pennaoeut  Imttaiions.  SO,  bat- 
talions of  active  national  infantry,  and  60  of  reserve 
natlonaHnfrintrj-.  Of  cavalry  there  are  three  per- 
manent squadrons  and  22  active  national  squadrons. 
Of  artillery  there  are  are  25  heavy  field  batteries.  18 
light  field  batteries,  and  seven  mountain  batteries, 
together  with  liiree  he;ivy  reserve  batteries,  aud  two 
howitzer  aud  five  mortar  batteries.  Of  engineers 
there  are  four  battalions,  and  the  men  and  equipment 
for  three  pontotm  trains:  and,  finally.  Sen'ia  pos- 
sesses a  siege  train  of  GO  pieces  of  ordnance.  If  all 
these  units  were  of  the  strength  prescribed  on  their 
paper  estublishmenis,  the  Serbian  Army 
would  number.  when  on  a  war  footing 
about  117.000  infantry.  3,5^0  cavalry,  3,.5GO 
eUfriiieers;  and  SOrt  guns;  but.  as  a  matter  of 
fa-t.  none  of  the  uuits  could  be  completed  to  their 
full  streugili.  and  accordin:;  to  t!io  moat  trustworthy

EHrd  to  anoameut,  both  iuf:iutrv  and  artillery  are 
adiy  found.  The  g\ui8  of  the  light  batteries  es- 
pecially have  but  a  very  limited  range,  ajid  stores  of 
ammunitiou  are  altogether  wanting.  The  active 
troops  are  armed  with  breech-loaders,  btrt  these  are 
of  au  old  pattoi-n  nnd  indifferer.t  manuf;i'^ture.  while 
the  n-serve  troops  are  only  provided  with  muzzle-

VS,  EVFUS  m  OILBEBT8  SUIT. 

How  HB  SA.T8  HX  WAS  PUT  OUT  OT  THE 
CONTROL  OP  THE  OILBKfiT  ELEVATED 
BAILWAY  COMPANY  —  A  SCHEME  TOE 
WATERING  STOCK— AN  INJUNCTION  ASKED 
FOE. 
Dr.  RnfoA  H.  Gilbert  has,  through  his  conn- 
Bel,  Walter  S.  Poor,  began  a  suit  In  the  Snpreme 
Court  ogsinst  Jose  F.  Nav»rro,  WUlUxn  Fostet,  Jr., 
the  Gilbert  £l6Tated  Railway  Company,  the  New- 
VoiiE  liO&n  and  Improvement  Company,  and  the  Edge 
Moot  Iron  Company,  In  which  he  seeks  an  injunction 
to  restrain  the  defendants  from  cmrying  ont  the 
scheme  by  which  he  charges  he  is  to  be  defranded  ont 
of  about  $500, 000.  In  his  complaint  Dr.  GUbert  says 
that  for  ft  long  time  past  he  has  devoted  his  attention 
and  means  to  the  discovery  of  a  satisfactory  method 
of  rapid  transit  in  this  City,  and  that  while  engaged 
in  and  prior  to  obtaining  the  'legislation  ne- 
cesssary  to  incorporate  the  Gilbert  Elevated 
Itailway  Company  he  was  made  acquainted 
with  the  defendant  Foster,  who,  he  .  says, 
represented  himself  as  possessing  large  peenniary 
means,  and  especially  large  inAuande  with  capital- 
ists whose  co-operation  and  assistance  he  wonld  se- 
cure, and  thus  insure  the  success  of  the  proposed  en- 
terprise. Foster  mentioned  some- of  the  parties  who 
would  invest  capital  in  the  scheme  if  sufficient  in- 
ducement was  given  thorn  by  way  of  gpratnity  or 
bonus  in  the  shares  of  the  Gilbert  Elevated  Railway 
Company  as  a  corporation  then  about  to  be  created. 
Relying  on  these  representations.  Dr.  Gilbert  says 
he  assented  to  the  conditions,  and  had  the  nan:e3  of 
Foster  and  of  some  of  the  alleged  capitalists  inserted 
as  incorporators  of  the  railway  company,  and  also 
procured  their  selection  as  officers  and  Direc- 
tors upon  the  organization  of  the  company. 
Dr.  Gilbert  says,  farther,  that  in  order 
to  enable  Foster  to  complete  arrangements 
with  the  capitalists  he  gave  Foster  4.300  shares  of 
the  company's  stock,  without  any  consideration 
lining  given  by  Foster.  Thelatter  failed  to  procure 
the  promised  capital,  and  has  also  failed  to  return 
the  shares  of  stock,  which,  as  is  alleged,  he  has  dis- 
posed of  in  connection  with  the  defendant  Xavarro. 
The  cai>ital  stock  of  the  Gilbert  Company  was 
limited  in  its  issue  to  5,235  shares,  of  which  Dr. 
tJilbert  owns  750,  which  he  says  are  wrongfully 
withheld  by  Foster  and  Navarro.  Dr.  Gilbert  saya 
that  the  two  persons  mentioned  conspired  together 
niid  entered  into  some  contract,  and  tnat  in  pursu- 
ance thereof  they  seized  and  hold  the  shares  intrusted 
t  o  Foster,  and  have  thereby  been  enabled 
to  and  have  successfully  controlled  all,  the 
ejections  for  Directors  and  ofBcers  of'  the 
company,  as  well  as  the  general  adminis^tiou 
of  its  affairs.  Dr.  Gilbert  says  he  ■  has 
been  divested  of  the  power  and  influence  to  wluch  he 
is  by  right  entitled.  He  saya  that  Navarro  and  Fos- 
ter, or  one  of  them  in  the  interest  of  lioth,  procured 
the  control  of  the  charter  of  the  Loan  and  Improve- 
ment Companv.  *'  with  the  intent  and  design  of 
further  absorbing  and  destroying  the  value  and. l>en- 
eiits  to  accrue  from  plaintiff's  stock  in  the  Gilbert 
ElRvated  Railway  Company."  They  induced  Dr. 
trilbert  to  believe  that  the  acquiring  of  the  Improve- 
ment Company's  charter  was  necessary  for  the  Gil- 
bert Company.  Navarro  repreaented  to  Dr.  Gilbert 
that  he  had  arranged  for  the  necessary  capital,  but 
that  it  was  essential  that  all  of  the  Gilbert  Company's 
stock  should  be  temporarily  placed  in  his  hands,  with 
authority  to  pay  over  one-half  to  those-  who  pro- 
^nded  the  capital  as  a  bouns  for  them,  and  that 
the  remaining  one-half  should  be  surrendered 
to  the  Improvement  Company,  for  which  Dr.  Gilbert 
was  to  receive  a  like  number  of  the  Improvenient 
*,'bmpany's  shares.  Dr.  Gilbert  says  he  was  thos  in- 
duced to  give  Navarro  $ti5,000  in  Gilbert  Company 
shares,  which  were  to  be  used  as  a  subscription  for 
$3;i,i>O0  in  full  paid  shares  of  the  Improvement 
<"om.pany,  the  latter  corporation  being  organized  to 
fonstmct  and  equip  the  railway.  The  Improvement 
Company  was  shortly  afterward  organized  witih  a 
capital  of  $1,300,000.  Foster.  Navarro,  George  M. 
PaUman.  and  Cornelius  K.  Garrison  held  largely  the 
controlling  influence  in  the  Improvement  Company, 
and  it  was  arranged  between  them  that  Foster  and 
N'avarro,  by  their  control  of  the  Gilbert  Company, 
should  procure  the  ratification  by  the  latter 
cjoin^anv  of  such  a  construction  contract  as  wotild 
practically  surrender  its  property  and  corporate 
interests  to  the  owners  of  the  Improvement  Com- 
p.iny.  Acoordingiy  a  contract  was  made  between  the 
two  companies.  Foster  signing  on  behalf  of  the  Gil- 
bert and  Navarro  for  the  Unprovement  Company. 
I'nder  tMs  contract  the  latter  company  is  authorized 
to  i>sue  stoclw  and  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $2,O00,- 
IXK»  per  mile,  while  at  a  liberal  estimate  the  cost  of 
fOTistruction  and  equipment  should  not  exceed  $350.- 
tHHi  per  mile.  The  Improvement  Corapanv  then  en- 
tered into  a  contract  with  the  Kdge  Moor  Iron  Com- 
T-any  for  the  construction  of  the  road  at  the  rate  of 
S430O-  000  per  mile.  The  equipment  will  cost  about 
Tt.5<».O0(>  per  mile,  and  the  difference  between  $350,- 
IMX)  and  .$2.m)0.000  per  mile  will  inure  to  the  bene- 
tit  of  the  ii(»l'i«'rs  of  stock  in  the  Improvement  Com- 
pany. Dr.  Gilbert  then  goes  on  to  say  that  Navarro 
las  not  given  him  the  promised  shares  in  the  Im- 
^rnrement  Company's  stock.  Dr.  Gilbert  asks  an  in- 
lunction  to  restrain  Poster  and  Xa\'arro  from  using 
>r  rransferring  the  shares  of  the  Gilbert  Company 
:¥<-tM%'e<l  by  tiiem,  and  that  they  be  compelled  to  re- 
;urn  him  the  stock;  and.  further,  that  the  various 
joatracts  referred  tb  bo  annulled. 


CAB'DHlVEIiS  ASD  CONDUCTORS. 

VHE  REDrCTIOX  OP  PAY  ON  THE  FOTTRTH 
AND  SIXTH-AVENITE  ROADS — ^A  PALLING 
OFF  IN  TRAVEL  THE  CAUSE — OTHEH 
ROADS. 
The  wajres  of  thft  conductors  and  diivers  em- 
ployed by  the  .Sixth-Avenue  Railroad  Company  were 
reduced  yestfrday  from  $2  25  to  $2  per'day.  A  like 
-eduction  will  go  into  effect  on  the  Fourth-Avenue 
ttoad  to-day.  The  Third- Avenue  Road  will  then  be 
:he  only  one  upon  which  any  of  the  conductors  or 
irivers  will  receive  more  than  $2  for  a  specified  day's 
Pfork.  This  difference  between  the  Third-Avenue 
ind  the  other  roads  in  regard  to  the  payment 
jt  employes  is  not,  however,  likely  to 
continue  long.  Although  the  Directors  of  the 
Third- Avenue  Road  have  not  ordered  an  out-and-out 
reduction  of  salaries,  they  some  time  ago  institute<I 
a  system  that  is  gradually  effecting  a  result  similar 
lo  that  of  a  reduction.  Up  to  the  early  part  of  last 
March,  their  conductors  and  drivers  were  paid  $2  40 
per  day,  or.  to  be  more  exact,  at  that  rate.  Then 
ii.  was  ordered  that  whenever  new  men  were  em- 
ployed they  shotild  be  paid  only  at  the  rate 
of  26  cents  per  trip.  The  pay  of  old 
employes  is  from  time  to  time  reduced  to  the  new 
rate.  So  long  as  they  avoid  being  reported  for  In- 
fringing the  rules  of  the  corporation,  they  are  al- 
lowed to  keep  the  old  rates ;  but  whenever  they  are 
charged  with  being  behind  time,  or  with  lagging  on 
their  route  for  the  purpose  of  picking  up  passengers 
that  should  propeny  De  t»Oten  on  cars  following  theirs, 
they  are  given  tho  choice  of  losing  their  situa- 
tions or  of  accepting  decreased  wages.  The 
-onductors  and  drivers  on  the  Grand  Central  Depot 
route  of  the  Third-Avenue  Koad  do  not,  under  the 
.  new  rates,  make  $2  for  the  seven  trips  which  are  ac- 
counted a  regular  day's  work.  For  this  number  of 
trips  they  receive  but  '$1  82.  They  are,  however, 
generally  allowed  to  make  an  eighth  trip  as  an  extra, 
and  thus  bring  their  pay  for  15  hours'  work  up  to 
$2  OS.  The  men  employed  on  what  Is  known  as  the 
Red  Line  of  the  Tliird-Avetnue  Boad,  and  who  run  to 
and  from  Sixty-fifth-stree*.  earn  the  same  amount 
doily.  They  run  eight  trips.  The  conductors  and 
ilrivers  who  go  through  to  Harlem  make  four  trips 
uaily.  and  aj-e  allowed  $2. 

There  seems  to  be'  no  intention  at  present  to  re- 
duce the  wages  of  the  men  employed  on  roads  other 
than  those  mentioned  Rbove.  Those  roads  nominally 
pay  their  conductors  and  drivers  $2  per  day.  The 
nflicials  of  all  the  roads  in  the  City  complain  of  a  de- 
crease in  trafQc  The  Superintendent  of  the  Sixth- 
Avenue  Road  stated  yesterday  that  the  reduction  of 
(salaries  is  necessary  in  order  that  the  income  of  the 
corporation  may  not  be  exceeded  bv  itL  expenditures. 
Although  the  number  of  patrons  of  the  cars 
has  decreased  greatly  thia  season,  the  company,  he 
said,  had  not  lessenM  the  daily  number  of  trips  made 
on  the  road,  and  had  not  cut  down  the  number  of  its 
employes.  The  plan  of  reducing  wages  was  taken  in 
preference  to  discharging  men.  The  Superintendent 
of  the  £^hth-Avenutt  Hoad  said  that  the  traffic  on 
his  road  is  smaller  this  Stzmmer  than  it  has 
been  during  any  season  In  the  past  10 
years.  He  accounted  for  this  on  the 
.ground  that  many  people  who  used  to  ride  up  and 
down  town  now  wait  fer  the  sake  of  economy.  The 
reason  for  the  gradual  reduction  of  wages  of  the  con- 
inctors  and  dnvera  on  the  Tfaird-Avenue  Road  is,  it 
Is  said,  the  fact  tfiat  the  White  Line,  running  to  the 
Krand  Central  Deport,  does  not  pay,  and  has  to  be 
supported  from  the  revenues  of  the  ^ed  Line. 

PJtOSCJUBiyQ   SPIC£8  AND  SWEETMEATS. 

The  meeting  of  the  American  Tempenmca 
dnipn  held  yesterday  at  Cooper  Institute  was 
Jai^ly  attended,  Mr.  J.  B.  Gibbs  presiding.  The 
exercises  were  opened  by  the  singing  of  the  stirring 
song  "Whosoever 'Will,"  which  was  succeeded  by 
Scripture  reading  and  prayer  by  the  "lightning 
calculator  "  Mr.  Hntcliings..  Miu  Amy  Lee  sang  the 
familiar  temperance  song  *'  Fatlier,  Come  Home," 
and  in  response  to  an  encore  sang  "The  Temperance 
Ship." 

Mr.  G^eorge  W.  Bungay  next  delivered  an  address 
In  which  he  referred  briefly  to  what  he  thought 
would  prove  one  of  the  best  remedies  for  the  present 
hard  times  and  the  labor  troubles  attendant  upon 
tiiem.  The  root  of  the  latter  and  one  of  the  princi- 
pal causes  of  the  former,  he  said,  was  the  rum 
tniific,  and  both  could  be  largely  modified  in  their 
extent  if  the  Legislature  wotild  but  pass  a  law  not 
only  restricting,  bat  altogether  prohibiting,  the  sale 
of  intoxicating  liquors,  and  thus  crushing  out  the 
dram  shops.  Prof.  Weeks  sang  a  new  temperance 
song  entitled  "Temperance  iHctory,"  whlch^waa 
succeeded  by^some  more  remarks  by  Jar.  J-  B.  Glbbs. 
Mr.  Harken  next  redted  a  temperanee  ptoee  entitled

A  SAD  CASE  or  STARYATIOlf  AND  OBIME. 
Driven  to  desperation  )>y  poverty  of  the  most 
wretched  character,  John  Cavanagh,  an  unemployed 
laborer,  who  Uvea  near  the  comer  of  Thirty-lto«t- 
street  and  First-avenue,  on  Saturday  committed  a 
crimethatwill  consign  him  to  the  State  PrisouiforBome 
time.  Mrs.  Mary  Dubois,  of  No.  459  Eighth-avenue, 
was  walking  along  the  street  with  a  pocket-book  con- 
taining a  few  dolhirs  in  her  hand,  when  Cavanagh 
approskched  her,  snatched  it,  and  ran  away .  He 
was  overhaxiled  by  a  poUcenmn,  and  was  arralfcned 
before  Justice  Moigan  in  the  Fifty-seventh- Street 
Police  Court  yesterday  morning.  When  asked  what 
he  had  to  say  in  answer  to  the  charge,  tears  filled  his 
eyes  as  be  pleaded  guilty.  He  said  he  never  com- 
mitted a  crime  before,  but  impending  starvation  and 
inability  to  get  employment  of  any  kind  impelled 
him  to  snatch  the  pocket-book.     Tbere  was  no  malice 

grcpensc  in  the  act.  the  determination  to  take  it  bav- 
ig  Deen  fc^rmed  on  tlie  instant.  He  waa  fully  alive 
to  the  consequences  of  the  crime  when  he  committed 
it,  but  he  would  have  taken  a  greater  risk,  he  said, 
for  the  three  little  children  who  were  starving  at  hia 
wretched  home.  Justice  Morgan  said  he  had  no 
donbt  that  the  man  was  hou^t  at  heart,  and  re- 
gretted that  h#j  had  been  led  into  such  troable-  He 
wishe*!  he  could  acquit  him,  but  duty  compelled  him 
to  hold  him  for  trial  in  the  Court  of  Greneral  Sessions 
in  default  of  $1,000  baiL

CHURCHAlfDTENTMEETINGS 


BUEOLASS  CAUGHT  IX  THE  ACT. 
OflBcer  Hohnes,  of  the  Twenty-second  Pre- 
cinct, made  an  exceedingly  creditable  arrest  be- 
tween 4  and  5  o'clock  yesterday  morning.  Noticing 
three  young  fellows  hanging  about  the  meat  market 
of  Michael  H.  Nagle,  No.  3S9  Kinth-avonue,  in  a 
rather  suspicious  manner,  be  determined  to  keep  an 
eye  on  their  movements.  After  satisfying  them- 
selves that  there  was  nobody  watching  them,  the 
burglars  wrenched  off  the  wire  screen  that  protected 
the  window,  and  effected  an  entrance  to  tne  store. 
Officer  Holmes  was  not  long  in  following  them  into 
the  place,  where  he  confronted  the  three  single- 
banded.  As  he  could  only  take  care  of  two  of  them 
with  any  degree  of  comfort,*he  was*  obliged  to  ittim- 
mon  a  guardian  for  the  third,  and  then  the  prisoners 
were  marched  to  the  station-house.  They  gave  the 
names  of  William  Slaoom.  No,  44G  West  Forty-fifth- 
street  ;  John  Stewart.  No.  560  West  Flfty-fonrth- 
street,  and  John  Gates,  No.  829  Eleventh  avenue. 
Yesterday  morning  they  were  arraigiied  before  Jus- 
tice Morgan  in  the  Fiftv-seventh -Street  Police  Court. 
Macom  and  Stewart  pleaded  guilty,  but  Oates  pro- 
tested his  innocence.  Thev  were  committed  for  trial 
in  the  C-ourt  of  General  Sessions  in  default  of  $1,000 
ball  each. 


A  MAX  SLOW  TO  BE  COyvrXCED. 
About  three  l^'e€kB  ago,  Mr.  Bernard  Dolan, 
residing  at  No.  29  ProBpect-street,  Brooklyn,  sent 
his  family  into  the  country,  remaining  hinuelf  in  the 
city,  and  taking  up  his  abode  temporarily  with  a 
friend.  A  few  days  after  leaving  his  house  vacant 
he  went  in  to  see  if  everything  was  all  right,  and 
missed  a  sewing-machine  valued  at  $30.  Thinking 
that  perhaps  his  wife  had  loaned  the  machine  to  a 
friend  during  her  absence,  he  said  nothing  about  it.  A 
few  days  afterward  he  visited  his  apartments  again, 
and  found  that  another  visit  had  been  made  to  the 
premises,  and  that  the  sideboard  in  the  front  base- 
ment had  been  broken  open,  and  $35  worth  of  silver- 
plated  ware  stolen.  Still  he  said  nothing'to  the  Police 
of  his  losses,  but  returned  to  the  house  again  the 
next  day  to  find  that  a  third  visit  bad  been  made,  and 
that  pictures,  bed  clothing.  &c.,  to  the  value  of  $135. 
had  been  carried  off.  It  &  supposed  that  the  tliieves 
gained  entrance  to  the  premises  by  means  of  a  latch- 
key. Charles  West,  Thomas  West,  and  William 
Nicholson  were  yesterday  arrested  by  Capt.  Crafts 
and  Detective  Campbell,  of  the  Second  Precinct,  on 
suspicion  of  having  been  concerned  in  the  robbery. 

ROWIXO  Oy  THE  SCDSOy. 
A  boat-race  took  place  yesterday  afternoon 
on  the  Hudson  River  between  James  Hickey,  of 
New- York,  and  Augustus  Bomford.  of  South  Brook- 
lyn, for  $50  a  side.  The  distance  was  three  miles, 
with  a  turn,  starting  from  a  point  opposite  the  Elya- 
ian  Fields,  Hobokeu.  On  the  word  being  given 
Bomford  got  away  the  quickest,  and  thus  secured  a 
slight  advantage,  which,  however,  he  was  unable  to 
hold,  for  Hickey  spurted  and  drew  his  boat  even 
ajTHin.  A  hard  struggle  then  ensued,  but  Hickey  ap- 
peared to  hold  out  beat,  for  he  steadily  pushed  the 
nose  of  his  boat  to  the  fore,  until  by  the  time  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  was  pa.Hsoti  he  had  his  craft  nearly  cloar. 
Bomford  still  pushed  him  hard,  and  compelled  htm 
to  keep  at  worlc.  At  the  half  mile  Hickey  was  fully 
two  boat  lengths  aheatL  but  catching  several  crabs, 
owing  to  the  lumpy  water,  he  lost  way.  which  his 
opponent  utilized  until  he  was  nearly  even  again. 
Both  spirted  as  hard  as  they  knew  how,  but  Hickey 
had  to  give  way  to  his  antagonist,  who,  at  abont  a 
mile  from  the  start,  pa.*ised  him,  and  rapidly  went 
dear.  Hickey,  a  few  seconds  after  Iw^g  pa'»sed,  np- 
set  his  boat,  and  it  became  then  a  simple  row  over 
for  Bomford,  who  went  over  the  distance  at  liis 
leisure. 


SAILBOAT  liEQATTA. 
A  regatta  of  Whitehall  boats  took  place  yester- 
day, the  prizes  beln?  a  gold  and  silver  medal  for  the 
fa.<!te8t  and  best  managed  boats,  respectively.  The 
course  was  from  a  stake-boat  off  the  Atlantic  Dock, 
around  Bobbin's  Reef  Light-house  and  return. 
There  were  eight  entries,  the  boats  being  commanded

yOT  ACCUSTOMED  TO  SMUOGLIXQ. 
When  Joseph  L.  Chapman,  an  inspector  in 
the  employ  of  the  New- York  Custom-house,  boarded 
the  steam-ship  Brittanic,  upon  her  arrival  at  Castle 
Garden  on  Friday  last,  and  began  the  usnal  seamh 
for  smuggled  goods,  hi«  suspicions  were  at  once 
aroused  by  the  actions  and  appearance .  of 
one  of  the  lady  passengers.  The  officer  caused 
the  J<3y~^to  be  searched,  and,  concealed 
ben»th  her  ample  skirts,  was  fotmd  a  piece  of 
dress  silk,  valued  at  $40.  The  lady  became  very 
much  frightened  when  she  saw  that  she  was  de- 
tected, and  begged  piteously  not  to  be  arrested.  Sh^ 
gave  her  name  and  residence,  and  stoutly  protested 
that  she  was  bringing  the  silK  home  from  Europe  for 
a  lady  friend.  Inspector  Chapman  took  possession 
of  the  smuggled  property.

Friday  evening  on  Grand-street,  and,  after  convera- 
ing  with  him  for  a  time,  took  $4  from  hU 
[tagau's]  hand,  and  walked  off  with  it.  They  being 
acquaintances,  Eagan  thought  that  8tilllvan  would 
bring  the  money  back  directly.  This  he  failed  to  do, 
however, .  and  on  Saturday  night  Stillivan  was  ar-

REINFOROEMSyTS  FOR  THE  RUSSIANS. 

The  town  of  Klshineff  was  thrown  into  a  state 
of  great  excitement  one  evening  recently  by  the  dis- 
covery that  a  dozen  of  the  tradespeople's  children 
were  missing.  One  father  after  another  ^Bnt  to  the 
Central  Police  Office  to  say  that  his  son  or  sons  could 
not  be  found,  and  as  these  applications  grew  in  num- 
ber, so  did  the  alarm  engendered  by  them  increase  in 
intensity.  Local  tradidons  respecting  the  sacrifice  of 
children  by  the  Jews  were  revived,  and  the  LnaeUte 
quarter  was  subjected  fo  an  unavailing  search.  Then 
it  waa  suspected  that  some  of  tbe  numerous  gipsy 
tribes  which  dwell  In  proximity  to  Kishineff  bad  made 
away  with  the  cliildren.  Pinallyi  rumor  gave  a  finish- 
ing touch  to  anxiety  and  alarm  by  ascribing  the  disap- 
pearance of  the  boys  to  a  mysterious  band  of  bashi- 
bazouks,  who  had  carried  them  away  captive  to 
torture  them  and  kill  them  as  they  had  done  children 
in  Bulgaria  the  previous  year.  The  Police  were  on 
the  search  the  whole  night.  In  the  m.^ming  Cossack 
patois  were  sent  out,  and  one  of  these,  at  a  distance 
of  about  15  versta  from  Kishineff,  came  up  to 
what  proved  to  be.  the  missing  youngstcra.  Some 
were  armed  with  second-hand  muskets  and  pistols; 
the  rest  had  sticks  or  wooden  swords.  All  ware 
marching  with  the  regularity  of  styldlers,  and,  on 
bein^  questioned,  stated  that  it  was  their  intention 
to  reinforce  the  Army.  They  had  passed  the  night 
in  a  little  forest  by  the  roadside,  a^d  having  pro- 
vided themselves  with  provisions,  were  very  little 
the  worse  for  their  bivouac  On  being  ordered  by 
the  Cossack  to  return  home  they  evinced  considera- 
ble vexation,  and  said  it  was  a  shame  that  their 
march'  to  ConstantinDple  should  be  made  a  retreat. 
But  the  patrol  was  inexorable,  and  before  the  day 
waa  over  many  of  the  truants,  Instead  of  beating  p-  y

TBE  8IKG  SINa  CAMP-MEETIKG. 

IriDOV  VAN  COTT  NOT  PEESKlrr — THE  SBB- 
VICES  OF  THE  DAT— LABQE  ATTEND- 
ANCE AT  ALU 
The  steamers  Josephine  and  Ixmg  Branch, 
from  New^Tork,  and  the  morning  tr^ns  were  laden 
heavOy  yesterday  with  visitors  to  the  Sisg  ^ng 
camp-meeting.  Hundfeds  alao  arrived  from  the  ad- 
jacent vUlagea  in  wagons  and  old-faahioned  vehidei 
of  every  descripUon,  drawn  thither  mostly  by  the  ex- 
pectation of  hearing  Mrs.  Van  Cott,  the  celeb^^ed 
evangelist,  who  had  proipised  to  speak.  Tliey  "w&n 
disappointed,  as  that  lady  has  not  yet  recovered  from 
her  indisposition^  she  being  at  present  lying  ill  at  her 
daughter's  house  In  Brooklyn.  Before  the  tents  are 
atruck,  however,  it  U  confidently  believed  by  the 
managers  of  the  meeting  she  wiH  spend  a  day  in  ex- 
horting sinners  to  come  to  Christ.  During  the 
day  It  is  estimated  about  6,000  or  7,000 
people  visited  the  ground  and  attended  the  different 
services.  In  the  morning  there  was  a  **love  feast," 
after  which  Rev.  Dr.  Porter,  of  Brooklyn,  preached 
an  eloquent  and  fervent  sermon  to  a  large  congrega- 
tion in  the  open  air.  At  1  o'clock  a  very  Interesting 
meeting,  held  specially  for  children,  took  place  in  one 
of  the  lat^ge  tents,  and  was  under  the  direction  of 
brother  Ely,  of  Brooklyn.  The  exercises  consisted 
of  the  singing  of  hymns,  praying,  and  preach- 
inc  by  several  clergymen,  who  clothed  their 
ideas  in  the  simplest  possible  langunge,  making  them 
l»erfectly  understood  by  the  little  ones,  who,  it  may 
be  added,  evinced  considerable  interest  in  the 
services.  At  2  o'clock  the  regular  meeting,  the  prin- 
cipal one  of  the  day.  was  held  under  the  trees  in  the 
open-air  auditorium  in  front  of  the  Ministers*  Cot- 
tstre.  Rev,  Dr.  Porter  presided.  There  were  pres- 
ent about  2.000  persons.  Rev.  Dr.  Nelson,  of 
BrookljTQ,  preached  a  very  vigorous  and  effective 
Bcrmon.  and  at  its  conclusion  remarks  were  made 
by  Brother  Price  and  others.  Brother  Price  was  ac- 
companied by  his  famous  "praying  band."  At  the 
conclnsion  of  the  preaching  the  hymn.  '*  Come,  ye 
Kinners,  poor  and  needy,"  was  sung'  by  the  "praying 
band."  and,  in  response  to  repeated  exhortations, 
several  persons  came  forward  to  the  pulpit,  and,  de- 
claring their  penitence,  asked  to  be  prayed  for. 
There  wore  several  conversions  made  during  the  day 
ntthedifferent meetings.  Kverytcnt  andcottageonthe 
grounds  Is  now  occupied,  snd  it  is  expected  that  the 
attendance  every  day  from  this  timt'  forward  until, 
tbe  meeting  closes,  wliich  will  be  on  Thursday  next, 
will  average  between  3.000  and  4,000  people,  Quite 
a  large  number  of  temperance  people  are  present, 
and,  at  their  suggestion.  Dr.  Porter  intends  to  dis- 
pense with  the  afternoon  open-air  meeting  to-day, 
and  in  its  place  hold  a  large  temperance  meeting. 
.Several  noted  temperance  advocates  will  address  the 
meeting.  

SERVICES  AT  SEA  CLIFF. 

SEKMON      BY     REV       F.      S.      DE      HAA&— THE 
GREAT    SACRIFICE   OP  THE   ATONZMENT. 

The  morning  services,  held  in  the  great  Tab- 
ernacle at  Sea  Cliff  yesterday,  were  attended  by  one 
of  the  largest  congregations  of  the  season.  The  ser- 
mon was  preached  by  Rev.  F.  S.  De  Haas,  D.  D., 
late  United  States  Consul  at  Jerusalem,  and  formerly 
Pastor  of  the  Metropolitan  M.  E.  Church  of  Wash- 
ington. The  reverend  gentleman  selected  as  his 
text.  Romans  li,  33  :  "  Oh  the  depth  of  the  riches 
both  of  the  wisdom  and  knowledge  of  God !  How 
unsearchable  are  His  judgments,  and  His  ways  past 
finding  out."  After  briefly  reviewing  the  deplorable 
moral  status  of  mankind  previous  to  the  advent  of 
the  Saviour,  while  waiting  for  the  great  atoning 
sacrifice,  the  preacher  went.on  to  say  that  it  was  the 
timely  interference  of  Christ  which  inspired  the 
Apostle  to  give  in  the  fullness  of  his  soul  expression 
to  the  words  of  the  text.  By  the  wisdom  of  God  we  were 
to  understand  the  desigos  of  God  as  manifested  in 
the  adaptability  of  the  world  to  the  purposes  for 
which  It  was  created.  His  depth  of  design  is  ap- 
parent to  us  in  the  wonderful  organism  of  animate 
aqd  inaminate  nature.  Take  anything  away  or  add 
to  the  natural  mechanism  of  man  and  he  is  deformed. 
Take  him  as  he  comes  from  the  Creator,  and  he  ei- 
liibits  that  depth  of  design  which  comes  of  the  riches 
of  the  wisdom  of  God.  This  exists  in  everything  in 
nature,  giving  each  animate  and  inanimate 
object  distinctive  features,  by  which  it  can 
l>o         identified         from  the  others,        thus 

enabling  us  to  recognize  kindred  and  to  punish  the 
guilty,  and  yet  no  chax<ge  lias  taken  place  In  the  laws 
of  nature  since  the  creation  of  the  world.  There  is 
not  a  drop  of  water  mure  in  the  mighty  ocean  now, 
nor  a  grain  of  sand  on  the  shore  In  excess  of  the  num- 
ber l.OOO  years  ago.  To  every  animal  the  germ  of 
life  waa  presented  to  multiply  Its  species,  and  thus 
the  whole  human  family  sprang  from  a  single  pair. 
The  same  depth  of  design  is  manifest  In  the  order 
and  harmony  that  prevails  in  nature.  The  great 
heavenly  bodies  meet  with  no  interception.  The  sun 
rose  and  set  a  thousand  years  ago  just  as  it  does  to- 
day :  the  planets  never  infringe  on  each  other's 
right,  but  are  all  held  under  the  restrictions  placed 
upon  them  by  the  unerring  wisdom  of  God.  As  com- 
pared with  his  Creator,  how  insignificant  Is  man,  and 
how  absurd  the  skepticism  which  attributes  all  this 
to  chance.  The  system,  order,  harmony,  good- 
ness, and  power  which  we  dbcover  in 
everything  tells  us  that  there  is  a  great 
Creator,  whom  we  are  to  love,  reverence,  and  obey. 
If  chance  had  created  the  universe  there  would  be  no 
precision  and  exactitude  in  the  governing  laws  of 
events.  The  sun  would  rise  in  the  east  to-day  and 
perhaps  to-morrow  in  the  west,  and  there  would  t>e 
nothing  bat  confusion  In  all  things.  But  it  is  not  in 
the  material  universe  that  we  discover  the  full  depth 
of  the  riches.  It  is  in  tliat  material  redemntlon  of 
mankind.  Man  fell,  and  was  debased  through  a  vio- 
lation of  the  eternal  law.  Was  ho  to  die 
in  that  condition  i  Could  there  be  no 
atonement — no  power  to  save  ?  Tbe  law  said 
there  shall  be  no  remission  of  sins  without  the  shed- 
ding of  blood — innocent  blood,  which  had  never  been 
excited  by  unholy  passions.  Despairing  mankind 
failed  to  find  such  a  victim  for  sacrifice ;  hcpe  died  in 
human  breasts:  mankind  must  be  lost.  In  that 
critical  hour,  with  no  hope  of  redemption,  ChrL^t 
pitied  us.  He  would  save  us ;  but  He  knew  that  He 
must  die,  and  to  die  must  assume  our  nature,  and 
suffer  as  though  our  transgressions  were  His.  Turn- 
ing from  His  Father's  Throne  in  heaven.  He 
came  down  to  earth  and  died  for  us.  In 
this  grand  sacrifice  we  have  a  manifestation  of  the 
depth  of  the  riches  of  divine  grace.  Here  the  whole 
Deity  is  known.  Well  might  the  Apostle  say:  "In  due 
time  Christ  died  for  the  ungodly.'  The  Saviour  came 
in  the  fullness  of  the  time  foretold  by  the  prophet- 
Another  year,  another  month,  or  even  a  day  or  an 
hour  would  have  been  too  late.  All  ni^twns  were- 
convulsed  by  the  coming  of  the  Lord;  mob  waJ  re- 
deemed by  innocent  blood. 

The  reverend  preacher  at  this  point  of  his  dis- 
course related  an  incident  of  the  siege  of  Xiucknow 
as  beinz  analt^ous  to  the  coming  of  tbe  Sa\-ioar. 
The  fortress  was  on  the  eve  of  surrender  to  the 
bloodthirsty  Sepoys,  when  a  young  lady  cried  :  "Do 
you  not  hear  the  slogans  of  the  Highlanders  ?  We 
are  saved,  we  are  saved !"  The  despairing  people 
listened,  but  not  a  sound  was  hoard  save  the  thunder 
of  the  cannon  as  the  &iege  continued.  The 
garrison  was  again  on  the  point  of  sur- 
render when  the  young  lady  excitedly  cried : 
"  Do  vou  not  believe  me  now  /  Look,  they  are  com- 
ing." They  looked,  and  saw  the  banner  of  Have- 
lock's  soldiers  waving  In  the  distance,  and  all  knelt 
and  returned  thanks  to  God  for  sending  timely  de- 
liverance in  the  very  moment  of  despair.  The  con- 
dition of  the  besieged  garrison  was  analogous  to 
to  that  of  nuinkuid  immediately  before 
the  advent  of  Christ.  We  lay  exposed 
to  the  raking  fires  of  the  evil  one  and 
his  hordes  until  the  Lord  come  down  from 
heaven  through  the  mountains  of  the  skies.  An- 
other incident  which  bears  similarity  to  the  circum- 
stances of  the  redemption  of  mankind  was  that  of 
John  Maynard,  a  Lake  Erie  pilot,  whose  boat  took 
fire  while  approaching  Buffalo.  The  ill-fated  boat 
was  crowded  with  men,  women,  and  children,  who,  as 
the  flames  began  to  envelop  the  craft,  were  huddled 
together  in  a  despairing  mass  on  the  forward  deck. 
John  Maynard  was  at  his  post  in  the  pilot-house.  The 
Captain  cried  to  him,  "Are  you  tbere,  John.  "Aye. 
aye.  Sir."  answered  the  faithful  pilot.  "  How  does 
she  go?  queried,  the  Captain.  "South by  sou'- 
east  "  said  John,  as  he  grasped  the  wheel.  "  Head 
her  for  the  shore."  "  Aye.  aye.  Sir  "  answered  John. 
The  flames  were  creeping  into  the  pilot-house  and  to 
all  parts  of  the  boat  as  the  shore 
was  being  apcroached.  "  Can  you  hold 
out  five  nunntes  1"  anxiously  asked  tbe  Captain, 
again  addressing  John,  who  in  weak  accents 
replied :  "  By  God's  help  I  can. ",  He 
stood  firm  as  a  rook  while  death  stole  upon  him,  and 
saved  the  lives  of  the  imperiled  passengers,  but  when 
the  boat  touched  the  shore  John  Maynard  fell  dead 
at  his  post.  The  ship  of  mankind  was  fired  by  a 
spark  of  temptation^ut  Christ  took  the  helm,  and, 
by  the  sacrifice  of  His  life,  rounded  the  Cape  of 
mercy  and  threw  out  the  plank  of  salvation.  The  sac- 
rifice of  Christ  we  are  to  regard  as  one  of  the  great 
designs  of  God.  He  knew  that  it  was  best,  and  there- 
fore gave  it  Hia  approval.  In  His  omnipotence  all  our 
acts  and  secrets  are  open  t-o  His  all-searching  eyes. 
It  was  well  that  we  were  to  understand  this,  for  the 
wicked  man,  knowing  tliat  God  knows  all  his 
iniquity,  stands  in  fear  and  trembling,  while 
the  Christian  rejoices  In  the  belief  that  God  is 
acqu^nted  with  his  atts.  To  those  who  have 
peculiar  trials,  who  suffer  to  an  extent  that 
they  cannot  communicate,  the  knowledge  of  tbe 
full  extent  of  their  distress  to  those  near  to  them,  to 
those  who  shed  many  tears  in  the  silence  of  the  mid- 
night, it  is  comforting  to  know  that  the  Almighty  Is 
touched  with  feeling  for  infirmities,  that  He  can 
sympathize  with  his  suffering  children.  He  alone 
can  sustahi  us  In  trials  and  nfflJction.  "  How  un- 
searchable are  His  Jm^gmenta,  and  His  ways  past 
finding  oat."  The  mystery  of  God,  continued 
the  preacher,  wiB  probably  never  be  solved. 
Uis  ways  are  not  as  the  waya  of  men. 
And  yet  everything  that  is  dark  and 
obscure  now  will  be  explained  ia  the  other  world,  to 
which  we  are  to  ascend  through  the  sacrifice  of 
Ghriat.  He  died  that  we  might  live  forever  ;  He  suf- 
fered privations  that  we  may  become  rich  through 
His  poverty.  All  the  trials  of  this  life,  which  may 
appear  In  many  instances  insemt^Ie,  shall  eventn- 
•ilv   «»«^  out  for  HB    an  eternal  wav  tn  olorv.

DEDICATION  OF  A   CSUBCH. 

A  NEW  ROMAN  CATHOLIC  CHURCH  IN  JERSEY 
Cmr— THE  DEDICATORY  SERVICES  AND 
EXERCISES  TESTEBDAY. 
St.  Patriek's  Church,  on  the  comet  of  Ocean 
and  Bramhall  avenues,  Jersey  City,  the  most  costly 
and  handsome  church  edifice  in  the  State  of  New- 
Jersey,  was  dedicated  yesterday  morning,  with  all 
the  solemnity  and  formality  of  the  Catholic  Church, 
by  BUhop  Corrlgan,  of  the  Diocese  of  Newark.  Long 
before  the  hour  appointed  for  the  ceremony,  the 
immense  building  was  filled  by  members  of  the  con- 
gregation and  visitors  from  the  neighboring  cities, 
including  many  of  the  most  prominent  men  fn 
Hudson  Cotinty.  At  11  o^Iock  a  procession  of 
acolytes  and  priests  left  the  residence  of  Father 
Hennessy,  Pastor  of  the  church,  and  passed  around 
the  building,  chanting  the  services  of  the  Church, 
while  Bishop  Corrigan  sprinkled  the  walls  with  holy 
water.  The  line  then  filed  into  the  church  and  passed 
up  the  centre  aisle  to  the  altar,  where  a  portion  of 
the  ritual  was  sung,  and  then  the  Blshox),  preceded 
by  the  priests,  passed  around  the  Interior  of  the 
building,  repeating  the  ceremony  which  had 
been  performed  outside.  The  mass  was  then  cele- 
brated by  Bishop  Conroy,  of  Albany.  The  mnsie  was 
by  Fanner.  The  singing  was  performed  by  the  choir 
of  the  church,  and  was  excellent  in  everj-  detail.  The 
aermon  was  preached  by  Bishop  Ryan,  of  Buffalo, 
K.  Y.,  his  text  being  taken  from  that  portion  of 
Chronicles  which  describes  the  dedication  of  Solo- 
mon's temple.    The  sermon  throii^hout  was  replete 

with  expressions  of  the  most  liberal  character.  He 
spoke  eloquently  of  the  efforts,  tfTals,  and  triumphs 
of  tbe  Pastor  In  tlie  great  work  which  he  had  started 
and  so  snccessfnlly  carried  to  its  present  state  of 
perfection.  After  the  services  the  Bishop  and  visit- 
ing clergy,  with  some  invited  guests,  partook 
of  a  grand  dinner  in  the  parsonage.  After  the  re- 
past. Father  Hennessy  arose  and  spoke  in  feeling 
terms  of  the  great  help  which  he  had  received  from 
the  moneyed  Institutions  of  Hudson  County.  Hon. 
A.  A.  Hardenbergh,  member  of  Congress,  responded 
in  appropriate  terms,  speaking  of  the  confidence 
which  he  and  the  other  officers  of  the  Hud.son 
County  Xational  Bank  had  always  entertained 
for  the  priest  and  his  work.  He  was  fol- 
lowed by  E.  F.  C.  Young,  Casliier  of  the 
First  National  Bank,  in  the  same  strain. 
Bishop  Corrigan,  being  called  on,  made  a  short  ad- 
dress, showing  his  appreciation  of  the  work  of  Father 
HcHucssy.  At  4:30  the  several  societies  of  the  county

church  was  laid  on  Nov.  13.  1870,  by  Archbishop 
Bayley,  at  that  time  Bishop  of  Newark.  The  work  has 
progressed  slowly,  owing  to  the  stringency  of  the 
times,  and  there  "were  many  who  feared  that  it  would 
prove  a  failure,  but  the  indomitable  will  of  the  Pa-^tor 
surmounted  all  obstacles,  and  the  edifice  now 
stands  a  monument  to  untiring  zeal  and  Catholic  lib- 
erality. The  building  is  *272  feet  long,  and  is  built  of

lowell.  Me.,  and  gives,  with  the  blue-stone  body  of 
the  church,  a  substantial  and  beautiful  appearance.

sit on  the  line  of  the  company.  The  plaintiff,  WU- 
lli^m  Adams,  Is  a  jiianaforte  dealer  in  Manchester, 
and  it  has  been  hLs  custom  to  send  his  instruments 
to  various  towns,  where  they  have  been  offered  for 
sale  by  auction.  The  plaintiff,  having  given  evidence 
in  support  of  his  case,  was  cross-examined  by  Mr. 
Pope,  and  admitted  that  he  had  filed  a  petition  for 
liquidation  ;  whereat  Mr.  Pope  stated  to  his  lord- 
ship that  the  assets  were  one  piano,  and  the  creditors 
did  not  go  on  with  the  proceedings.  (Lauirhter.J

THE  DERBY,  THE  OAKS,  AND  ST.  LEGER. 
The  entries  for  the  exeat  3-year-old  English 
laces  of  187f>— the  Derby,  the  Oaks,  and  the  St, 
Leger— were  made  recently,  and,  as  the  subjoined 
table  will  show,  they  compare  very  favorably  with 
those  for  the  last  five  years  :

Thus  it  will  be  seen  that,  while  the  entries  for  the 
great  3-year-old  races  of  next  season  were  much  be- 
yond the  average  of  past  years,  those  for  the  season 
of  1879  exceed  them  by  67,  and  that  since  1875 
there  has  been  a  steady  increase.  The  increiuie  for 
1879  is  due  in  some  measure  to  the  number  of  for- 
eign entries,  of  which  there  are  no  fewer  tlian  lOS 
In  the  three  races.  In  the  Derby  there  are  Ui 
Brench,  1 2  German  and  Hungarian,  and  seven 
American  yearlings;  in  the  Oaks  14  French, 
four  Americans,  and  two  Hungarians ;  and 
in  the  Sti  Leger  29  French,  nine  Germans 
and  Hungarians,  and  t»even  Americans.  Two  of  the 
German  colts  engaged  in  the  Derby  and  St.  Leger 
are  entered  in  the  name  of  Mr.  Qerard,  who  bought 
them  at  the  Cobham  sale  of  yearlings ;  and  two  of 
the  American  colts  engaged  in  these  same  races  are 
nominated  by  the  Duke  of  Hamilton,  who  has  made 
several  purchases  of  blood  stock  in  the  United  States. 
Nearly  all  the  yearlings  which  have  been  purchased 
at  the  recent  yearling  sales  for  large  sums  nave  been* 
entered  for  one  or  other  of  these  races,  but  the  most 
nominations  arc  |taken  by  Count  de  Lagrange,  who 
has  engaged  14  colts  in  the  Derby  and  the  St.  Leger 
and  10  fillies  in  the  Oaks.  Lord  Falmouth  is  repre- 
sented by  six  colts  iti  the  Derby,  by  sis  fillies  in  Uie 
Oaks,  and  by  nine  colts  and  fillies  in  the  St.  Leger, 
while  Lord  Rosebery  has  six  in  the  Derby,  five  in  the 
Oaks,  and  11  in  the  St.  Leger.  Mr.  Stirling  Craw- 
furd  has  six  colts  in  tbe  Derby,  seven  fillies  in  the 
Oaks,  and  11  colts  and  fillies  in  the  St.  Leger.  The

THE  PROGRESS  MADE  SINCE  THE  WAR — OVER 
300,000  CHILDKEX  OP  SCHOOL  AGE— 
THE  NUMBER  OF  SCHOOL  HOUSES— AN 
IRREGULAR  ATTE^ANCE. 

M.  GrfSard,  Director  of  Primary  Education  in 
the- Department  of  the  Seine,  has  just  addressed  a 
report  to  the  Prefect  on  the  new  schools  built  in 
Paris,  the  enlargement  of  old  ones,  and  the  still  re- 
maining requirements,  which  shows  what  progress 
has  been  made  since  the  war  in  providing  the  means 
of  elementary  education  for  the  children  of  Paris. 
From  a  previous  report  presented  by  M.  Greard, 
about  two  years  ago.  it  appears  that  the  census  of 
1873  showed  there  were  292,024  children  of  school 
age  in  Paris,  that  Is,  between  the  ages  of  2  and  14 
years,  of  whom  105,331  were  under  6.  For  the  ac- 
commodation of  these  there  existed  94  galUs 
d'tuUe,  or  what  we  approximately  may  translate 
Infant  schools,  for  the  children  between  2  and  6  : 
and  there  were  247  schools  for  boys  ane  girls  over 
6  ;  altoeether  341  public  elementary  schools  of  every 
kind.  In  1875  the  number  of  aaUeg  d'asUe  had  been 
increased  to  109.  an  addition  of  15  ;  and  the  boys' 
and  girls'  schools  had  risen  to  273,  an  augmentation 
of  2b.  The  total  increase  was  thus  41.  Since  then 
11  salle*  d'aJfUe  have  been  either  buUt  or  consider- 
ably enlarged,  and  so  have  Q^  boys'  and  girls' schools- 
Sin'ce  the  close  of  the  war,  therefore,  135  elementarv 
schools  of  all  kinds  have  either  been  built,  so  much 
enlarged  as  practically  to  be  new  schools,  or  else  re- 
moved from  localities  where  the  accommodation 
was  in  excess,  to  others  where  it  was 
in  deficit.  Twenty-two  boys'  schools.  21  girls' 
schools,  and  13  saUes  d'agile  are  entirely  new,  mak- 
inc  a  net  addition  of  61  :  10  boys'  schools,  S  girls' 
RCbools.  and  5  tatUu  d'asile  have  been  removed — ^to- 
?ether.  23  :  and  27  boys"  schools,  21  girls'  schools, 
and  3  saUes  d'atUe  have  been  enlarged— an  aggregate 
of  51.  In  addition  to  these,  whidi  are  completed, 
there  are  actually  in  hand  7  new  bovs'  schools,  8  new 
girls'  schools,  and  7  new  sctUet  d  agUe~\n  all  22, 
making,  with  those  finished,  83  entirely  new  schools, 
and  3  have  been  voted  though  not  begun.  Thus,  the 
net  addition  since  the  war,  ^yhcn  the  works  finished 
and  about  to  be  begun  are  completed,  will  be  S6. 
The  removals  being  accomplished  are  13,  and  seven 
are  ordered  but  not  commenced.  Thus,  the  number 
of  schools  removed  from  localities  objectionable  from 
one  reason  or  another,  and  which  will  be  resumed 
when  the  plans  already  decided  upon  are  carried  out, 
will  be  43.  The  enlareements  bemg  made  are  seven, 
and  two  are  voted,  making,  with  those  already  effect- 
ed, a  total  of  60.  The  outlay  on  these  works  up  to 
the  date  of  the  report  amounted  in  round  figures  to 
$65,000,000.  At  this  cost  additional  accommoda- 
tion has  been  provided  for  16,58"  bovs.  13,910 
girls,  and  4.980  infants,  or  a  total  of  35.477. 

In  his  report  for  1875,  Mr.  Greard  points  out  that 
although  the  total  number  of  names  on  the  registers 
of  the  several  schools  was  only  1&4, 6-16.  a  large  pro- 
portion of  the  remaining  population  of  Paris  of 
sciiool  age  was  pecei%'tng  education  elsewhere.  Thus 
11,000  of  the  pupUa  of  lycees,  colleges,  and  of  the 
commercial  school  founded  by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, were  under  14  years  of  age ;  while  it  was 
estimated  that  about  4.^^.500  were  educated  at  home. 
Adding  these  to  the  pupils  of  the  communal  schools, 
we  get  a  total  of  230.000.  .Further,  a  very  large 
proportion  of  ^ris  and  infanta  are  sent  to  private 
rather  than  to  the  public  schools.  In  conclusion, 
M.  Greard  estimated  that  the  additional  accommo- 
dation then  required  in  the  public  elementarv  schools 
was  about  33,000.  As  we  have  seen,  much  hai  since 
been  done  to  supply  this  accommodation.  M.  Gr6ard 
now  proposes  that  20  bovs'  schools.  15  girls"  schools, 
and  20  salUg  d'asiU  should  be  built  ;  that  10  boys' 
schools.  9  girls'  scJiools.  and  10  salUs  d'asiU  should  be 
removed  ;  and  that  9  boys"  schools.  8  girls'  schools, 
and  2  gaJle*  d'amle  should  be  enlarged.  If  this  were 
done,  accommodation  would  be  pro\'ided  for  20.325 
children.  All  the  boys  and  girls  over  six  could  be 
admitted,  and  the  provisional  classes  now  held  in  un- 
suitable and  unhealthy  buildings  could  be  suppressed. 
There  would  still  remain  to  be  furnished 
places  for  about  12.000  children  under  6. 
It  will  be  seen  that  in  Paris,  at  least,  the 
lessons  of  the  war  have  been  taken  to 
heart,  and  that,  notwithstanding  the  heavy  burden  of 
debt  upon  the  city  and  the  enonnous  taxation  ren- 
dered necessary  bv  that  debt  and  by  the  necessities 
of  the  State,  the  Municipal  Government  is  making 
strenuous  efforts  to  provide  every  Parisian  with  the 
rudiments  of  edncation.  Above  the  elementary 
schools  the  city  has  also  founded  several  superior 
schools,  and  a  few  tecluiical  schools,  and  it  is  im- 
proxing  them.  It  appears,  however,  that  the  attend- 
ance is  still  very  irregular.  In  selecting  sites  for  the 
new  schools  the  authorities  have  never  lost  sight  of 
the  importance  of  bringing  them  within  easy  reach  of 
tho  children.  Year  after  year,  consecruently,  the  dls- 
tance-s  to  be  traversed  have  been  diminishing,  at  the 
same  time  that  the  accommodation  has  been  increas- 
ing. The  numbers  enrolled  have,  therefore,  largely 
augmented,  but  the  attendance  is  still  verj'  irregular. 

WATER-DRINKING  IN  ENGLAND. 
A  correspondent  writes :  "  It  is  quite  conceiv- 
able that  a  new  supply  of  water  for  London  will  he 
forthcoming  some  day,  and  then  a  small  fraction  of  a 
New  River  share  wonld  no  longer  be  equivalent  to  a 
comfortable  little  fortune.  It  is  wonderful  indeed, 
in  this  age  of  progress  that  a  purer  source  for  water 
than  any  we  have  yet  been  favored  with  for  consumQ 
*tion  in  London  has  not  been  made  available.  The 
native  element  has  fallen  more  and  more  out  of  use. 
Who  drinks  water  nowadays  ?  "We  once  gave  a  valu- 
able ice-pitcher  to  a  friend,  and  were  rather  disap- 
pointed never  to  see  it  on  his  table.  At 
last  we  asked  him  what  had  become  'of  it. 
'  O.'  said  he,  *it  is  locked  up  somewhere.' 
'  Why  don't  you  use  it  ? '  '  Use  it ! — what  for  ?  Sly 
dear  fellow,  did  vou  ever  see  anvbody  drink  a  glass  of 
water  in  England  ?  '  It  suddenly  occurred  to  us  that 
we  never  had — except  women  and  children,  and  they 
will  drink  anything  that  Comes  first.  Go  where  you 
will  now,  you  will  seldom  be  offered  a  glass  of  water. 
And  even  the  old-fashioned  aerated  waters,  the  man- 
ufacture of  which  seemed  at  one  time  to  be  a  lasting 
source  of  wealth,  must  have  suffered  not  a  little  by 
the  popularitv  of  the  new  contrivances  for  '  laying 
the  dust '  in  the  throats  of  thirsty  souls.  The  owners 
of  some  of  these  new  springs  must  be  making  large 
fortunes,  and  perhaps  they  think  their  ch.ldren  will 
have  an  equally  good  thing  of  it.  But  the  dear  pub- 
lic is  a  fickle  creature.  Presently  another  wonderful 
*  spring  '  will  be  discovered,  and'  we  shall  all  run  to 
it." 

HAWKING  IN  ENGLAND, 

A  London  paper  of  Ang.  4  says:  "To  prove 
that  hawking  is  not  an  extinct  sport,  an  amateur  has 
lent  to  the  Alexandra  Palace  his  mew  of  falcons  and 
tiercels,  and  yesterday,  for  the  first  time,  at  Mus- 
well-hill,  two  of  the  peregrines  were  flown  at  the 
lure.  The  falcons  wonld  rise  and  soar  rotmd  and 
round,  and  then,  as  the  dead  bird  which  served  for 
the  lure  was  thrown  up  in  the  air,  thev 
swooped  suddenly  down  upon  it,  and 
struck  it  to  the  earth  with  a  blow  of 
their  powerful  talona  Afterward  tbe  red  and  purple 
hoods  were  pulled  over  their  eyes,  the  jessea  were 
knitted  round  tho  wrist  of  the  falconers,  and  the 
birds  were  carried  back,  their  bells  tinkling,  to  a  lawn 
in  tbe  Japanese  village,  where  they  camp  ont  all 
night.  On  this  lawn  are  exhibited  not  only  the  pere- 
grines which  gave  visitors  a  taste  of  their  quality,  but 
gray  N'orw^an  and  French  goshawks,  fatal  foes  to 
rabbits  or  hares,  two  fine  Norw^ian  ger&lcons, 
sparrow-hawks,  and  little  sharp-eyed  merlins.  Hard 
by  sat  nine  black  cormorants  near  to  the  trees.

.Tu<^nnent  was  jai-ven  s.  few  days  back  by  tho 
Council  of  the  Prefecture  of  Loir-et-Cher  upon  a 
a  question  of  considerable  interest  to  a  lat^  number

local  authorities  to  pay  tax'*s.  amnnnting  to  73 
francs,  for  a  house  occupied  by  him  at.  Blois.  Tho 
claim  was  resisted  by  Col.  Prouvost.^whopleade-i 
that  in  the  first  place  officers  who  had  a  right  to 
quarters  in  government  building*  could  only 
be  called  upon  to  pay  house  taxes  if 
they  occupied  dwellings  the  remt  of  which

IjONDOn,  Ang.  21. — The  Daily  Xemf 
correspondent  telegraplis  nnder  date  of 
SistOTf^  Aog.  18,  a  4Pt^il^^  sccoimt 
of  affairs  which  caused  Gen.  Goorko's  retreat 
The  account  shows  that  even  indepeB4ent- 
ly  of  a  retreat  being  necessitate<l»  by 
the  disaster  atFIevna  Qen.  Gonrko's  forces  were 
overwhelmed  by  the  saperior  forces  of  the 
Tarks,  and  although  the  Russians 
gained  a  brilliant  Tictory  at  Teni-Seghra 
on  July  30,  Gen.  Go  nrko  was  compelled  to 
retreat  on  the  following  day,  although  in  sisrht 
of  Eskl-Saghra.  where  he  was  obliged  to  leave 
the  Balgariaa  legion,  whd  were  op- 
erating as  a  separate  body,  to  their 
fate.  Of  the  Bulgarian  legion,  which 
was  originally  1,600  strong,  only  400  or  500 
managed  to  reach  the  Schipka  Pi»ss.  Exclu- 
sive of  the  Bolgarian  loss.  Gen  Gourko 
lost  3,000  men  in  the  two  dayj'  fight- 
ing of  the  30th  and  31st  of  July, 
I>uring  Gourkho's  retreat  through  the  nar- 
row Dalboka  and  Hainkoi  Passes,  which  was 
accomplished  on  the  2d  inst.,  the  wounded  died 
like  flies  from  the  jolting  of  their  conveyances 
and       exposure.  Hale      men      succumbed 

from  fatigue  and  sun-stroke.  The  Rus- 
sian cavalry  is  now  all  on  this  side  of 
the  Balkans.  Schipka  Pass  is  strongly 
fortified,  armed  with  28  guns,  and  ear- 
risoned  by  a  regiment  of  the  Eighth 
divisions.  Two  regiments  hold  Hainkoi' Pass 
which  presents  a  series  of  formidable  defenses. 
[Belative  to  Hainkoi  Pass  there  have  l>een 
much  confusion  and  contradiction,  a  number  of 
Eccounts  declaring  that  the  Turks  have  traversed 
It.] 

There  are  few  troops  for  the  present  at  Dre- 
DovaandGabrova.  A  brigade  of  the  Fourteenth 
Division  is  at  Timova.  Reinforcements  are 
moving  south  to  strengthen  the  de- 
tachments holding  the  passes.  Caj-alry 
is  advancing  against  Osman  Bazar 
Gourkho's  defeat  seems  partly  to  have  arisen 
from  the  same  cause  as  the  other  Russian  re- 
verses— namelg,  the  dividing  of  his  forces 
so  as  to  allow  the  Turks  to  take 
them  in  detail.  Thus  the  JVetca'  corre- 
spondent, who  has  exceptional  facilities  for 
information,  gives  the  following  as  Gen. 
Gourkho's  plan  of  operations :  The  right 
colunm,  consisting  of  the  Bulgarian  le- 
gion, two  batteries,  and  three  regiments  of 
cavalry,  were  to  march  from  Eski-Saghra.  The 
centr^  column  under  Gen.  Gourkho  himself, 
consisting  of  the  Rifle  Brigade,  a  regiment  of 
Cossacks,  and  four  batteries,  marched  from 
Kssanlik.  The  left  column  of  five  battalions 
of  infantry,  two  batteries,  and  some  Cossacks 
marched  fzom  Hainkoi  Pass,  the  objective 
point  of  all  three  columns  being  Yeni- 
Saghrs.  The  result  of  this  division 
was  the  des^Tiction  of  the  Bulgarians 
at  Eski-Saghra  and  the  ront  of  Gourkho,  who  had. 
however,  previously  effected  a  junction  with 
the  left  column.  The  account  of  Gourkho's  de- 
feat* of  July  31  shows  thai  he  marched  upon 
Dzuranli,  on  the  road  to  Eski-Saghra 
Ignorant  of  the  fact  that  some  30,000  Turks 
confronted  him,  and  stopped  the  road  leading 
into  the  latter  place.  The  Turkish 
batteries  swept  the  road  with  a  ptrsistent 
are.  Jsevertneless  Gen.  Gourkho  came  into 
action,  sending  forward  flve  battalions  of  inf an- 
trv  covered  by  artillery.  He  had  48  horses 
killed  In  one  battery  and  8  in  another. 
The  Turks  made  desperate  attempts  to 
turn  Gen.  Gourkho's  flink^  which,  howevtr, 
were  repulsed  by  the  assistance  of  Prince 
Leuchtenberg's  cavalry,  who  had  cut  their 
way  out  from  Eskl-Saghra,  where  the 
Bulgarians  were  beset  by  20,000  Turks. 
Gen.  Gourkho,  small  as  was  his  force, 
resolved  on  an  attempt  to  succor  them,  and 
in  the  meantime  determined  to  maintain  his 
position.  But  his  resolution  quailed  be- 
fore the  appearance  of  two  massive 
columns  of  Turks  marching  on  his  flank 
and  rear,  and  he  had  to  leave  the  Bul^rlans  to 
shift  for  themselves  and  make  good  his  own  re- 
teeat.  "

IjOKDON,  Aug.  20. — The  Porte  is  prepar- 
ing Winter  clothing  for  the  troops  and 
taking  measures  in  anticipation  of  a  Winter 
campaign.  ■  A  later  telegram  from  Hukhtar 
Pasha  gives  the  Turkish  losses  in  Saturday's 
battle  as  130  kiUed  and  339  wounded,  and 
the  Russian  loss  at  1,500  killed. 

The  correspondent-  of  the  Daily  yetcs  at 
Btudeni,  the  head-quarters  of  Grand  Puke 
Nicholas,  referring  to  the  dispatch  of  the  Fourth 
Cavalry  Division  on  an  independent  expedition 
for  the  pvirpose  of  stopping  Turkish  communi- 
cation with  Sophia  by  blocking  the  Ochordik 
Pass,  telegraphs  as  follows :  '•  It  is  felt  here 
that  this  should  have  been  done  earlier, 
but  if  successful  now  it  will  still  have 
good  results.  In  the  event  of  a  crushing  Turk- 
ish defeat  at  Plevna,  it  would  go  far  ^o  loake  it 
another  Sedan.  The  expedition  is  obviously  haz- 
ardous." The  same  correspondent  says  he 
understands  that  Servian  intervention  is 
now  certain.  He  also  says :  "  The.  activity  of 
the  Turks  at  Plevna  in  sending  out  cavalry 
reconnoissances  seems  as  though  they  had 
some  intention  of  taking  the  offensive.  The 
■weather  is  now  fine  again,  and  the  roads  are 
Apidly  changing  from  mud  to  dust.  I  am  in- 
formed that  the  recent  rains  have  not  materially 
affected  the  health  of  the  troops." 

The  Daiiy  iVeica'  correspondent,  who  tele- 
graphed the  description  of  the  battle  of  Plevna 
published  in  these  dispatches,  says :  "  As  an  in- 
stance of  the  candor  of  the  Russian  authorities, 
instructions  have  been  sent  from  head-quarters 
to  the  official  newspapers  to  reprint  my  account 
of  the  battle  of  Plevna  pending  the  preparation 
of  the  official  report." 

A  Vienna  dlspatct  to  the  Daily  Neves  has  the 
following:  '*A  telegfam  from  Galatz  states 
that  7.0OO  Turkish  or  Egyptian  troops  have 
disembarked  at  i^olina  and .  are  marching  on 
Tultscha,  which  is  weakly  garrisoned.  The 
rurk.s  from  Silistria  are  said  to  be  marching 
Against  Tchemavoda,  and  the  Russians  to  be 
hastening  to  Ismail,  where  reinforcements  are 
expected."  A  Bucharest  dispatch  to  the  Times 
says  the  landing  of  an  Egyptian  brigade  near 
Sulina  detains  Gen.  Zimmerman  in  the  Dobmd- 
scha  with  a  larger  force  than  was  intended  to 
be  left  there;  and  shows  the  effect  of  bolder 
counsels  at  Constantinople. 

A  Tinui'  Athens  dispatch  says :  '•  The  prov- 
ince of  Salooica  and  the  coast  district  from 
Olympus  to  the  terminus  of  the  Adrianople  rail- 
way has  been  declared  in  a  state  of  siege  by  the 
Porte.  Arms  continue  to  arrive  here  and  volun- 
teers literally  from  the  four  comers  of  the 
globe,  but  owing  to  the  state  of  affairs  in  Bol- 
garia  there  will  b«  no  movement  at  present" 
Several  special  dispatches  state  that  Hobart 
Pasha  has  left  a  subordinate  to  superintend  the 
embarkation  of  the  Caucasians,  and  has  gone  to 
Sinope  with  most  of  the  fleet  It  is  believed  he 
goes  thence  to  the  Danube. 

A  correspondent  of  the  Times  at  Yeni-Saghra, 
telegraphs  under  date  of  Ang.  16  as  follows  : 
'•  I  went  with  the  Turkish  Army  on  the  14th 
inst  to  Chani-Baghaz.  At  Laneli,  two 
hours  and  a  haif  from  the  pass,  I  saw  the 
bodies  of  120  persons  who  h«d  been 
jomdeied  bx  CwtMU  and  BolcuuD*.  Aboiie. 


the  victims  were  two  women,  one  very  beauti- 
ful and  young.  She  had  been  killed,  and 
thrown  naked  into  a  pool  of  water.  I 
saw  fanvlies,  including  children,  who  had 
been  thrown  in  a  well.  "The  houses  of 
these  people  and  the  handsome  embroid- 
ered dresses  of  the  women  showed  that  they 
had  been  rich.  In  one  house  the  women  and 
young  girls  had  been  shut  up  and  subjected 
during  10  dOTS  to  outrages  by  Cossacks  and 
Btilgarians.  The  Bulgarians;  when  they  heard 
of  the  arrival  of  the  Turkish  Army  at 
Chain  Boghaz  carried  off  the  Turkish  women 
and  children  from  3  to  30  years  of  age,  and  fled 
to  the  Balkans.  The  victims  of  whom  I  spoke 
above  were  aU  collected  together  and  murdered 
in  succession.  Many  more  were  butchered,  but 
I  have  hot  had  time  to  gu  and  see  them." 

London,  Aug.  21.— The  lime^  Vienna  cor- 
respondent states  that  Kossuth  has  ad- 
dressed a  proclamation  to  the  Hun- 
garians urging  Austro-Hungary  •  to  come 
to  an  understanding  with  the  Porte  as  to 
the  extent  of  concessions  to  the  Christians  which 
can  be  made  without  compromising  the  integri- 
ty of  the  Turkish  Empire.  He  says  on  the  basis 
of  this  arrangement:  an  alliance  with  the  Porte 
ought  to  be  concluded.  Russia  should  then  be 
called  upon  to  terminate  the  war.

London,  Aug.     21.— The    Posfs    Berlin 
specisd  reports  that  the  German  squadron  has 
gone  to  Salonica,  in  consequence   of  the  release 
of      the      officials      who      were     implicated 
in     the      murder      of       the    ■  Consuls.        A 
special     to     the     Standard      from      Dresden 
announces  that  the  powers,  at  the  request  of 
Germany,  are  reported  to  have  agreed  upon  a 
common  protest  to  the  Porte  concerning  the  re- 
lease of  the  murderers  at  Salonica.    Renter's 
Berlin  telegram  confirms  the  report  that   the 
German  squadron  has  left  the"  Piraeus  in  the 
direction  of  Paro. 

London,  Aug.  20. — Telegrams  fromZara  and 
Cettinje  state  that  the  Montenegrins  on  Sun- 
•day  carried  the  last  outwork  of  Nicsics,  and 
are  pushing  forward  through  the  town  to- 
ward the  fortress.  A  strong  Turkish  force — 
composed,  however,  mostly  of,  irregulars — 
estimated  by  one  account  at  10,000,  is  hasten- 
ing to  relieve  the  besieged.  Five  thousand 
Montenegrins  have  gone  in  the  direction  of 
Kertac  to  oppose  the  Turkish  advance. 

The  daily  Silos'  correspondent  at  Vienna  tele- 
graphs as  follows  :  "A  telegram  from  Athens 
states  that  the  Ministry  have  sent  out  orders  to 
-fortifv  the  chief  ports  with  all  speed,  so  as  to 
have  them  finished  by  the  end  of  October 
at  the  latest  Similar  orders  have  been 
given  respecting  the  preparation  of  men-of-war. 
Still,  nobody  in  Athens  believes  in  an  immedi- 
ate outbreak  of  war."  A  dispatch  from  Canea, 
dated  Saturday,  says:  "  There  is  a  panic  here. 
Two  Turks  having  been  murdered,  their  com- 
patriots demand  revenge.  Turks  from  the  coun- 
try come  to  the  town  armed,  despite  the  Gov- 
ernor's prohibition.  The  situation  is  considered 
critical." 

The  North  German  Gazette  confirms  the  report 
that  the  representations  of  the  Turkish  Ambas- 
sador here  relative  to  the  alleged  Russian 
atrocities  have  met  with  a  most  unfavor- 
able reception  from  the  German  Cabinet 
A  Berlin  dispatch,  same  paper,  says  Germany's 
representations  to  the  Porto  in  regard  to  atroci- 
ties committed  by  Turkish  troops  are  based  on 
the  Geneva  Convention,  which,  according  to 
the  German  view,  not  only  binds  the  beUiger- 
ents  to  observe  its  provisions  toward  each  other, 
but  gives  the  neutral  co-signatories  a  right  to 
insist  on  its  faithful  obiiervance.  Germany's 
note  will  be  communicated  to  the  other  powers. 
Reuter's  telegram  from  Constantinople  says  : 
••  Count  Zichy  has  assured  the  Porte  that  Aus- 
tria has  not  altered  her  policy  relative  to 
Servia."  A  dispatch  from  Constantinople 
says :  "The  Servian  diplomatic  agent  here 
has  declared  that  Servia  has  no  knowledge  of 
any  intention  on  the  part  of  Russia  to  send  an 
army  through  Servia.  He  denies  that  Servia 
has  resolved  to  participate  in  the  war,  and 
states  that  no  troops  have  been  sent  to  the 
frontier."

perhaps  arrived  at  its  most  critical  moment  In 
addition  to  the  great  battles  fought  and  lost 
on  both  sides  of  the  Balkans,  Russia  has  suf-

for  reinforcements,  and  the  Czar  appeals  to  his 
brother  monarch  of  Austria.  We  shall  soon  see 
to  what  extent  the  secret  treaty  bet-ween  the 
three  Emperors  commits  them.  Francis  Joseph 
and  Emperor  William  are  now  discussing  in  per  - 
son  the  earnest  application  of  Russia  to 
march  fresh  troops  into  Turkey  through  the 
neutral  territory  of  Servia.  It  is  feared  that 
Austria,  threatened  as  well  as  cajoled  by  Bis- 
marck, win  give  way.  If  she  does,  Turkey  will 
have  reason  to  complain  that  she  has  been 
badly  treated,  for  Austria  and  England  ob- 
tained pardon  for  Servia  by  promising  in  her 
name  that  she  would  lay  down  her  arms  and  be 
on  her  gpod  behavior  in  future.  It  i  s  all  very 
well  to'  say  that  circum.stance3  have  changed, 
the  moral  of  which  is  founded  on  the  Satanic 
proverb  that 

'■  WhentheDevil  was  sick,  the  Devil  a  monk  would  be. 
But  when  the  Devil  got  Tvell,  the  Devil  amohk  was  he." 

The  wavering  of  Austria  under  the  German 
pressure  has  a  depressing  effect  on  the  Ministe- 
rial action  of  England.  Roumania  and  Servia 
thru.st  to  the  front,  and  Russia  openly  declaring 
her  intention  of  marching  on  Constantinople, 
are  only  in  keeping  with  the  other  broken  pledges 
of  the  Czar.  The  present  success  of  the  Turks 
makes  it  less  necessary  than  heretofore  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Enghsh  Cabinet  to  demonstrate 
against  Russian  aggression ;  butitis  on  the  cards 
that  the  rout  of  the  Muscovites  may  develop  all 
the  qtiicker  the  gigantic  conspiracy  which  far- 
seeing  statesmen  beUeve  to  be  hatching 
against  -England  and  France.  Bismarck 
makes  his  game,  whether  Russia  is  de- 
feated or  victorious.  Triumphant,  Russia 
becomes  a  valuable  ally  of  German  designs  on 
France  and  Holland  ;  defeated,  she  is  helpless 
to  interfere  with  them.  Should  Italy  wiUfully 
jeopardize  her  present  condition  of  happy  and 
prosperous  peace  by  combining  with  Russia 
and  Germany  for  territorial  aggrandizement, 
she  will  deserve  a  serious  fall.  England  and 
France  have  helped  her  to  her  present  high 
place  as  a  free,  independent  and  successful 
kingdom.  Pof,^  years  every  European  commo- 
tion has  tended  in  the  direction  of 
her  interests.  "  Rest  and  be  thankful " 
should  be  her  motto.  She  can  obtain 
in  the  future  no  advantages  worth  the  turmoil, 
expense,  and  bloodshed  of  an  aggressive  war. 
If  Austria  could  only  be  induced  to  cut  herself 
adrift  from  the  wiles  of  Bismarck,  and  England 
would  be  enterprising  enough  to  form  an  alli- 
ance with  France,  Austria,  and  Turkey,  there 
might  be  some  hope  of  a  speedy  settlement  of 
Eui'ope  for  the  next  50  years  by  a  quick  and 
mighty  war  or  an  equally  rapid  and  binding 
peace.  England  isoIateiEailand  inactive,

which  receives  no  check  from  the  horrors  of 
war,  horrors  which  to-day  outrival  the  cruel- 
ties of  the  darkest  night  of  EurotK»\n  history. 

The  Russian  atrocities  are  connrmod  even  by 
their  friends.  The  special  correspondent  of  the 
Timis  at  Shumla,  (whence  your  own  telegram 
on  the  atrocities  was  dispatched  this  week,) 
under  date  July  25,  gives  a  moving  descrip- 
tion of  atrocities,  which  the  Times,  pro-Russian 
as  it  is,  has  the  honesty  to  print  at  length.  The 
Daily  News,  though  its  representatives  often 
appear  to  write  under  direct  Russian  inspiration, 
has  also  published  some  awful  incidents  of 
Russian  cruelty.  The  journalist  whose  evidence 
was  sent  to  you  direct  from  Shumla  is  a  man 
of  honor.  His  word  is  to  be  taken  on  this  sub- 
ject with  the  utmost  confidence,  because  he  is  a 
newspaper  man,  whose  only  interest  is  to  report 
truly  what  he  sees.  Col.  Brackenbury,  of  the 
Ti}nes,  gives  incidents  of  Turkish  atrocities; 
and  a  member  the  other  night  in  the  House  of 
Commons,  tried  to  make  it  appear  that 
the  "  round  robin,"  signed  by  press 
men  who  have  witnessed  the  ill  deeds  of 
the  Russians,  was  a  fraud.  Inasmuch 
as  Brackenbury  had  not  signed  it,  and  he  was 
the  jfimM  correspondent  on  the  spot.  But  this 
intelligent  Senator  evidently  thought  that  the 
Times  had  only  one  correspondent  at  the  seat  of 
war  in  Eurorve,  whereas  it  has  many  representn- 
tives  on  both  sides  of  the  Danube,  and  this  lead- 
ing journal,  with  English:like  fairness,  settl.  s 
the  doubt  by  publishing  newer  details  of  Rus- 
sian atrocities  from  its  special  at  Rasgrad.  In- 
deed the  fearful  tidings  pour  in  by  every  mail : 
they  give  a  sanguinary  cokfir  to  every 
telegram ;  they  are  beginning  to  be  regarded 
with  shame  by  the  worshipers  of  "the  divine 
figure  from  the  North,"  who  is  turning  out  to 
be  little  better  than  a  modem  Veiled  Prophet  of 
Khorassan,  Women  and  children  ruthlesslv 
slaughtered,  or,  what  is  worse,  outraged  and  muti- 
lated and  left  to  live ;  infants  tossed  on  Cossa<-k 
spears;  men  induced  to  remain  peaceably  in 
their  villages  and  then  butchered;  these  are 
instances  of  "Christian  charity"  which  are  not 
mentioned  on  hearsay;  they  are  solemnly 
vouched  for  by  the  independent  representatives 
of  the  European  press,  by  English  and  Ameri- 
can correspondents  whom  I  know,  and  for  whose 
honesty  I  can  vouch  and  swear. 

While  I  write  I  am  shown  a  special  dispa'^h 
from  Berlin,  which  states  positively  that  I  rince 
Gortschakoff  insists  upon  resigning.  His  rea- 
sons have  nothingto  do  with  the  reverses  of  the 
Russian  troops.  The  real  cause  is  the  ascend- 
ancy of  Gen.  Ignatieff  in  the  councils  of  the 
Emperor.  Gortschakoff,  though  he  did  not 
struggle  much  against  the  declaration  of  war, 
is  a  statesman  of  moderate  views  and  of  a  care- 
ful ambition.  He  is  convinced  that  Europe 
would  not  allow  Russia  to  accomplish  the  plans 
of  the  Panslavist  Party,  whose  ai^ent  de.-^ire  is 
to  incite  all  the  peoples  of  the  East  to  make  war 
upon  Turkey.  The  spokesmen  are  Tcherkss- 
sky  and  Ignatieff.  They  are  trying  to  convince 
the  Czar,  against  his  will,  that  the  true  policy 
of  Rus.«ia  is  to  work  on  this  programme.  The 
Czarewitch  supports  them.  Prince  Gortschakoff 
does  not  find  uiat  his  voice  carries  due  weight 
in  opposition  to  these  views,  and  although  the 
Czar  begs  him  to  retain  his  post,  the  Prince 
does  not  feel  that  he  can  do  so  with  dignity, 
certainly  not  with  honor.

Varna,  Sunday,  July  29,  1877. 
Over  300  wounded  soldiers  arrived  here 
last  Friday  from  Rasgrad,  and  a  couple  of  hun- 
dred more  were  expected  last  night,  but  have 
not  yet  arrived.  These  are  some  of  the  fruits 
of  a  battle  which  was  fought  last  Thursday  at 
Sadina,  on  the  Lom,  south-west  of  Rasgrad. 
Two  Turkish  battalions  were  out  there  recon- 
noitring, when  they  were  surprised  by  a 
large  Russian  force — said  to  number  15 
battalions — concealed  in  a  wood.  The 
Turkish  battalions  fought  fiercely,  but 
were  outflanked  and  cut_  off  from  their 
reserves.  The  latter  were  commanded  by  Aziz 
Pasha,  General  of  Division,  and  he,  hearing  of 
the  critical  position  of  his  advanced  post  put 
himself  at  the  head  of  the  three  battalions  he 
had  with  him,  and,  addressing  the  soldiers, 
said:  "Soldiers,  fight  bravely,  and  we  shall 
beat  these  dogs  of  Russians.'"  He  led  his  men 
on,  and  was  the  first  of  them  to  fall.  He  was 
shot  in  the  breast,  and  his  horse  was  shot  from 
under  him  by  a  cannon  ball  Aziz  Pasha  was 
a  school-fellow  of  Prince  Fr^erick  of  Prussia. 
He  was  succeeded  in  command  by  Faisoullah 
Pasha,  who  also  led  the  soldiers  and  made  a  gal- 
lant bayonet  charge,  which  was  so  effective  as 
to  rout  the  right  wing  of  the  Russian  forces, 
and  thus  enabled  the  remainder  of  the  two  bat- 
talions which  had  been  cut  off  to  retreat  with 
their  wounded.  Faisoullah  Pasha  was  shot  in 
the  thigh  and  arm.  Several  ofttcers  were 
wounded.  Faisoullah  Pasha  arrived  here  to- 
day, and  leaves  for  Constantiuople  by  this  day's 
steamer.  The  Russian  loss  is  unknown.  The 
Turlfs  are  said  to  have  lost  three  guns  and  in 
killed  and  wounded  700  men.  The  result  of 
the  battle  is  that  the  Russians  have  occupied 
the  heights  on  the  right  bank  of  the  Lom,  a 
strategic  position  which  commands  the  country 
between  it  and  Rasgrad.

Vabna,  Friday,  July  27,  1877. 
I  alluded  in  a  previous  letter  to  a  young 
Englishman,  and  at  the  moment  of  writing  I 
thought  either  t^tat  he  was  actually  shot  or  that 
his  remainiuK  hours  were  very  few.  Mr.  Reade, 
the  English  Consul,  hearing  about  it,  hurried  off 
to  Shumla,  and  -succeeded  in  saving  his  life.  He 
had  been  caught  making  for  the  Russian  lines 
with  plans  and  very  compromising  letters  in 
his  pocket  I  will  not  mention  names,  out  of 
respect  for  his  family.  His  career  in  the 
Orient  began  only  Utely.  With  another  young 
philanthropist  he  came  out  with  a  complete  am- 
bulance for  the  wounded  and  $1,000.  On  ar- 
ri-ving  at  Constantinople  he  spent  the  money 
and  sold  the  ambulance.  This  began  and  ended 
his  career  with  the  sick  and  wotmded.  After- 
ward he  managed  to  get  hold  of  an  artillery  uni- 
form, with  which  he  strutted  about  Constanti- 
nople until  netted  by  Col.  Lennox,  who  iuime- 
diately  stripped  him  of  that  garment.  Then 
some  one  <marged  him  -with  obtaining  money 
under  false  pretenses.  He  was  convicted,  and 
afterward  released  by  a  prostitute,  with  whom 
he  lived  until  the  formation  of  that  band  of  ad- 
venturers, the  Polish  Legion.  He  represented 
himself     to     the      chief     of      that    band    as 

the     nephew    of     the      Earl    of    ' ,      and 

offered  $1,000  in  promises  toward  the 
fund.  The  bait  was  swallowed  immediately, 
and  he  was  created  Colonel.  The  numbef  of 
men  at  that  time  exceeded  ten  by  one  or  two. 
The  Lanceruniform,  blue,  with  large  red  facings 
and  silver  buttons,  -was  ordered,  and  our  dash- 
ing young  Colonel  -went  forth  on  his  adventurous 
mission.  Varna  was  the  scene  of  his  first 
exploits.  Very  clever  ones  they  were,  too.  Of 
course,  he  arrived  in  an  iron-clad;  one  hap- 
pened to  be  coming  on,  and  he  procured  his  pas- 
sage on  the  strength  of  his  uniform.  Being  a 
stranger,  he  got  the  commander  to  accompany 
Mm  to  Reschid  Pasha's  house,  (Pnnce  Hassan 
had  not  then  arrived. )  To  Reschid  Pasha,  com- 
mander of  the  Egyptian  forces,  he  introduced 
himself  as  a  school  chum  of  Prince  Hassan. 
The  young  soi-disant  officer,  aetat  23,  has  a 
very  gentlemanly  bearing,  and  Reschid  was  only 
too  g&d  to  receive  the  schoolmate  of  his  Prince. 
The  honor  was  great,  and  rooms  were  offered 
him.  He  next  inqnired  if  there  were  any  Eng- 
lishmen in  Varna,  and  I  was  pointed  out  To 
find  me,  of  course,  he  needed  an  aide  de  camp, 
and  the  Pasha  gave  him  one  of  his  own.  So  I 
made  his  acquaintance.  He  had  come  to  con- 
fide in  me.  His  money -was  gone,  80len  from 
him  somewhere,  and  be  did  not  like  to  ask  his 
hosts,  the  Egyptians,  for  any.  I  found  myself 
bound  to  reheve  his  temporary  wants.  I  found 
afterward  he  had  played  the  same  trick  on  the 
Pasha  and  his  aide  de  camp.  A  voyage  to  Rnst- 
chuk  was  his  next  step,  and  there,  as  here,  he 
stayed  until  forced  to  leave  by  his  bad  conduct. 
It  -was  then  that  being  utteriy  out  of  funds,  the

They  were  received  with  hearty  cheers  by  a 
large  crowd  of  people.  President  Hayes  spoke 
as  CpUosrs  : 

FELLOW-CmzENS  :  It  will  be  impossible  for  us  to 
8t«y  long  enough  to  have  a  gener«l  Khaking  of 
hands,  for  the  andience  is  too  l&i^e  and  the  distance 
to  be  traveled  by  us  too  great  to  admit  of  it.  You 
must  be  satisfied  with  havicig  the  same  advantages 
that  I  have— that  of  seeing.  You  came  here  to  see 
me  and  I  came  to  see  you.  and,  lo  use  the  erpression 
of  the  late  President  Lincoln,  "I  have  to  say  thftt 
we  have  altogether  the  best  of  the  bargain.'  On 
making  these  acknowledgments  it  is  not  my  purpose 
to  enter  into  any  po'dtical  discussion.  We  are  ga  h- 
ered  here  of  all  political  parties,  and  wlule 
we  may  differ  as  to  wa\*s  and  means,  we 
ail  shall  agree  that  the  General  Grovemment  must  and 
should  be  administered  for  the  common  profeperiiy 
and  common  benefit  of  all  the  inhabitants  in  our 
countr>'.  We  may  make  mistakes,  but  they  will  be 
from  lack  of  judgment  or  knowledge,  and  I  trust  it 
will  not  be  through  or  arise  from  lack  of  disposition. 
I  must  leave  you  now.  but  I  take  great  pleasure  in 
Introdudng  to  you  Judge  Key.  a  man  that  has  been 
greatly  wrong  in  the  past,  but  is  greatly  right  now. 

Judge  Key,  Mrs.  Hayes,  and  the  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Cabinet  came  forward  and  were 
cordially  greeted.  On  board  the  train  the  Pres- 
idental  party  was  received  by  Gov.  Prescort  and 
party,  Gov.  Prescett  receiving  them  with  the 
following  words  of  welcome  : 

Mr.  Pbe.'|;ident  :  You  are  now  upon  the  soil  of 
New- Hampshire.  In  behalf  of  all  our  people  I  ex- 
tend to  yon,  your  family,  your  Cabinet  Ministers, 
and  all  who  accompany  yqu.  cordial  greeting  and  a 
hearty  welcome.  It  will  be  our  endeavor  to  make 
your  stav  with  us  pleasant  and  agreeable. 

President  Hayes  responded,  accepting  the  in- 
vitation in  behalf  of  his  party.  Accompanying 
Gov.  Prescott  are  Mrs.  Prescbtt.  Cols.  Quint. 
Ordway,  and  Hoyt,  of  his  staff  ;  E.  H.  Rollins, 
and  &  number  of  the  most  prominent  residents 
of  the  State,  with  their  wives  and  daughters,  all 
of  whom  were  presented  to  the  President  and 
party.  Greetings  were  exchanged  between 
them,  and  the  conversation  was  general  until 
the  train  reached  Bath.  At  Lisbon  a  short  stop 
was  made,  and  the  President  was  ',intro<luced  to 
the  crowd  by  Hon.  A.  A.  Woolson.  Mr.  Hayes 
said: 

Ladies  ajjd  Peluow-Citizexs  :  I  appear  to  give 
in  a  brief  way  my  thafiks  for  your  courteous  wel- 
come. Traveling  to  the  top  of  Mount  Washington. 
so  as  to  view  its  beauties  at  a  seasonable  time,  wehare 
no  time  for  hand-stiaking  and  speech-mnkiug.  and 
can  only  say,  •'  How  do  you  do,  and  good-bye.  ' 

Mrs.  Hayes  and  the  members  of  the  Cabine*. 
appeared  and  were  warmly  received.  At  Little- 
ton a  band  of  music  and  a  crowd  of  citizens 
greeted  the  party,  and  the  President  and  mem- 
fcers  of  the  Cabinet  respomied  briefly.  At 
Twin  Station  a  band  and  a  large  nximber  of  peo- 
ple were  assembled  to  greet  the  chief  magistrate 
and  party.  All  appeared  on  the  platform,  the 
President  talking  for  a  moment  with  Rev. 
Henry  Ward  Beecber  and  wife,  who  joined  the 
party  and  accompanied  it  to  this  place,  arriving 
here  at  12:45  o'clock.  After  a  short  reception

Then  by  special  train  the  trip  to  the  Summit 
WU8  commenced.

wife.  Points  of  interest  were  examined  along 
the  route,  and  an  hour  was  spent  here  in  the  en- 
joyment of  the  fine  scenery.  The  day  was  a 
fine  one  and  more  than  usually  warm.  A  recep- 
tion was  held  in  the  large  parlor,  and  a  gfinoral 
shaking  of  hands  was  participated  in.

Sib  :  The  undersized,  temporarily  sojourning 
here,  but  citizens  of  different  States,  and  of  differ- 
ent political  ideas  and  associations,  desire  to  expres-s 
to  you  their  entire  satisfaction  with  the"  course  you 
have  ptirsned  in  the  exercise  of  the  office  of  Presi- 
dent. Your  consistent  and  persistent  efforts  to  re- 
form the  civil  service  of  the  country  meet  with 
unqualified  anprobation,  and  your  so-caUed  Sonthem 
policy  seems  to  us  not  only  wise  in  itself,  but  the 
faithful  execution  ot  the  Constitution  and  laws  as 
you  found  them.  That  Providence,  who  orders  the 
destintes  of  nations,  may  give  you  all  the  needed 
strength  and  wisdom  to  sustain  you  and  guide  you  to 
the  end  in  i>erforming  your  arduous  duties  is  our 
sincere  desire.

President  Hayes  replied  that  he  was  gratified 
to  receive  such  an  expression  of  the  confidence 
and  esteem  of  so  respectable  a  company  of  gen-

Salt  Lake  City,  Aug.  20. — The  hostile 
Nez  Perces  Indians  were  reported  yesterday  as 
still  camped  at  Hole  in  the  Rock  Stage  Station. 
Idaho.  They  have  destroyed  the  telegraph  lines 
in  the  vicinity,  and  stopped  all  travel  over  the

sters are  cAiiped  and  fortifying  themselves  a 
short  distance  from  the  North  Snake  River

Shoshones,  left  Fort  Hall  yesterday  for  tbe 
hostile  camp  at  Hole  in  the  Rock  Station,  about 
90  miles  north  of  here.  Accounts  received 
here  yesterday  state  that  the  hosriles  had  pos- 
session of  the  station  and  would  allow  no  one  to 
pa.ss  either  way.  They  told  those  who  made 
the  attempt  to  turn  back  and  they  would  nor  be 
molested.  It  is  not  known  that  any  one  has  yet 
been  biirt.  The  telegraph  line  is  down  and  the 
wires  sirung  in  different  directions.  All  the

TEE  COLLIERY  TROVBLEiS. 


TEE    TELEGRAPHS     COSSOLIDAIED. 


AN  AGREEMENT  ARRIVED  AT  AND  A  CON- 
TRACT DRA\VN  UP  —  WESTERN  UNION 
OBTAINS  CONTROL  OP  ATLANTIC  AND 
PACIFIC — RATES  TO  BE  RAISED — AN  IN- 
JUNCTION TALKED    OF. 

The  joint  committee  of  the  Western  Union 
and  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph  Companies 
met  last  evening,  pursuant  to  adjournment, 
in  the  Windsor  Hotel.  Ex-Gov.  Morgan 
was  late,  and  kept  the  committee  waiting. 
About  S:15  o'clock  they  went  into  sesssion  in  !Mr. 
Vanderbilt's  parlors,  and  remained  there  tmtil  after 
1  o'clock  this  morning.  Presidents  Orton. 
of  the  Western  L'nion,  and  Eckert.  of 
the  Atlantic  and  Pacific,  were  in  attendance 
at  the  meeting.  Jay  Gould  .  was  present" 
all  evening  in  the  corridor  of  the  hotel.  Mr.  Keene 
was  absent,  being  reported  ill  at  Long  Branch.  There 
was  a  groat  gathering  of  monied  men,  brokers  and 
others,  about  the  hotel,  anxiously  awaiting  the  news, 
among  the  rest  being  a  private  detective,  said  to  be 
in  the  employ  of  a  prominent  banker  and  -broker, 
who  kept  a  strict  watch  upon  all  of  Mr. 
Gould's  movements.  Gould  and  Frank  Work  re- 
mained talking  together  in  a  corner  near  the  elevator 
nearly  all  the  evening.  At  10:30  o'clock  Grould  sent  a 
message  up  stairs  and  soon  afterward  Mr.  Willi.-iin 
H.  Vonderbilt  came  down  stairs.  Gould  started  for- 
ward to  meet  him  and  the  two  stood  in  earnest 
conversation  for  some  minutes.  Mr.  "Vanderbilt 
then  returned  up  sttdrs  and  Gould  went  back 
to  his  comer.  About  11:30  Gould  went  up 
stairs,  and  remained  there  nearly  half  an  hour.  At 
12:15  o  clock  a  message  was  sent  from  the  commit- 
tee-room for  paper,  pens,  and  ink.  These  were  fur- 
nished. Soon  afterward  Mr.  Orton  came  down,  and. 
in  response  to  questions,  said  that  an  agreement  had 
had  been  arrived  at.  He  refused,  however,  to  state 
particulars,  except  that  the  contract  was  being 
drawn  up.  The  committee  soon  afterward  sent  down 
to  the  bar  for  six  sherry  cobblers.  Soon  af  te  r ward  the 
reporters  addressed  a  note  to  Mr.  VanderbHt.  a-sking 
whether  copies  of  the  contract  would  be  furnished 
for  publication.  An  answer  was  returned  that  the 
terms  would  not  be  made  public  for  the  present. 
These,  however,  were  learned  from  an  official  source 
to  be  as  follows  :  Messrs.  Keene  and  Sage  are  to  turn 
over  71,000  shares  of  Atlaotic  and  Pacific  stock 
at  25  to  ilr.  William  H.  Vanderbilt  as  Trus- 
tee for  the  Western  Union  Company.  Mr. 
Vanderbilt  in  return  is  to  give  them  an 
equivalent  in  stock  of  the  Western  Union 
Company  at  72.  Tbe  two  companies  are  to  continue 
to  ciixvy  on  business,  and  all  outstanding  contracts 
are  to  be  fulfilled,  but  the  earnings  of  boQi  are  to  be 
pooled,  and  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  is  to 
receive  one-eichth  of  the  gross  amount,  the  Western 
Union  retaining  the  remaining  seven-eighths.  The 
country  is  to  be  redistricted  superfluous  tele- 
graph oflQces  are  to  be  consolidaced,  and 
rates  are  to  be  raised  to  the  old  stand- 
ard. This  means  in  effect  a  virtual 
swallowing  up  of  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Company. 
The  form  of  the  contract  entered  into  is  based  c^  the 
pooling  contract  tLsed  by  the  I>irect  and  Xnglo- 
American  Cable  Companies,  copies  of  which  were 
before  the  meeting  not  only  last  evening,  but 
on  previous  occasions.andwere  freely  discussed.  l\ 
is  stated  on  excellent  authority  and  is  generally  be- 
lieved on  the  street  that  the  agreement  given 
above  was  virtually  arrived  at  on  the  first  day. 
The  hitch  was  in  r^ard  to  the  percentage  which 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  should  receive.  Mr.  Russell 
Sage  said  yesterday  that  Western  Union  first  offered 
9  percent.,  but  withdrew  it.  Aftenvard  Atlantic 
and  Pacific  agreed  to  t-nke  6  percent.,  but  backed 
down.  Then  Western  Union  offered  ^ven  and 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  asked  eight,  and  here  occurred 
a  long  discussion.  It  was  settled,  however,  on  the 
basis  of  8  per  cent.,  but  at  the  previous  meeting  the 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  Committee  did  not  have  power 
to  act.  They  held  a  special  meeting  yesterday 
afternoon,  and  were  given  the  requisite  authority 
with  the  result  reported  above.  The  generally  re- 
ceived opinion  is  that  the  delay  was  purposely  ar- 
ranged to  afford  Keene  and  Sajge  time  to  purchase 
sufficient  Atlantic  and  Pacific  stock  in  addition  to 
what  they  had  to  make  up  the  71,000  shares 
needed  to  give  tie  Western  Union  people  a  con- 
trolling raa,}ority.  Of  course,  the  mmonty  shares 
will  now  be  worthless,  as  they  wiU  never"  bo  able  to 
pay  a  diridend,  and  there  is  some  talk  among  the 
stockholders  of  attempting  legal  proceedings  to  stop 
the  transfer  on  the  ground  of  collusion  and  fraud. 
The  whole  affair  is  the  outcome  of  a  stock-jobbing 
fight  between  Jay  Gould  on  one  side  and  Jim  Keene 
and  Russell  Sage  on  the  other,  in  which  the  two 
latter  were  so  badly  worsted  that  they  were  forced 
to  come  to  Gould's  terms  to  save  themselves.

SjpecAal  Dispatrh  to  tiie  yno-York  Tlma. 
ScRANTON,  Aug.  20. — For  nearly  a  fcionth 
past  the  employes  of  the  Pennsylvania  Coal 
Company  have  been  idle,  not  voluntarily,  but 
owing  to  the  wanton  destruction  by  strikers  of 
certain  railroad  property  which  was  essential  to 
the  operation  of  both  road  and  collieries.  It 
has  been  geierally  supposed  that  they  wanted 
to  work  at  any  rate  of  compensation,  but  to- 
day a  very  different  state  of  affairs  has  been 
developed.  On  Saturday  the  Superintendent 
of  the  company*s  collieries,  which  are  about  20 
in  number,  and  are  located  at  Pittston.  thought 
to  resume  operations.  Yet  having  the 
impression  that  it  was  best  first 
to  stipulate  with  the  men,  he  drew 
an  agreement,  to  be  signed  by  the  latter,  in 
which  they  agreed  to  resume  work  at  the  rate 
of  compensation  paid  in  July,  leaving  it  to  the 
company  to  concede  an  advance  whenever  it 
thou;;ht  expedient.  Tbe  employes  met  and 
heard  this  paper  read,  and  of  the  entire  3,500 
only  about  250  signed  the  document.  The  ma- 
joritv  seemed  to  regard  it  with  apprehension 
and  dissatisfaction,  as  though  their  employers 
sought  to  entrap  them,  and  in  their  ignorance 
they  thought  the  paper  a  ruse  to  mislead  them. 
They  became  defiant  at  once,  and  would  not  listen 
to  a  few  of  the  more  intelligent  and  cool-headed 
of  their  fellows,  who  counseled  resumption. 
This  morning  tbey  met  and  chose  a  committee 
of  live  to  wait  on  the  company  and  formally  de- 
mand an  advance  in  their  compensation  of  10 
cents  a  car,  equivalent  to  about  23  per  cent,  in 
their  wages.  The  committee  did  as  directed, 
and  the  Pittston  officials  sent  word  to  New- 
York.  If  the  company  refuses  to  make  the  con- 
cession the  men  will  undoubtedly  stand  out. 
They  can  afford  to  do  this  better  than  many 
other  miners.  SHeh  ijction  would,  nevertheless. 
Of  very  dii^asirous  to  the  business  of  Pittston, 
which  is  wholly  dependent  on  the  mining  indus- 
try, and  would  make  several  thousajid  poverty- 
stricken  homes.

Hazletos,  Penn..  Aug.  20. — An  attemptwas 
made  by  the  strikers  at  Beaver  Brook  last  night 
to  muster  a  force  for  the  purpose  of  making  a 
raid  on  Crystal  Ridge,  one  of  the  collieries  ope- 
rated by  A.  Pardee  &  Co.  The  men  of  this  col- 
liery, as  well  as  of  all  others  operated  by  the 
above  company,  refused  to  join  in  the  strike 
last  week,  and  have  been  working  steadily  ever 
since.  Information  of  the  intended'  raid 
was  received  here  a  little  before  midnight, 
and  a  force  of  cirizens  was  soon  col- 
lected to  resist  any  att**mpt  that  misht  be 
made  to  damage  or  destroy  property.  Toward 
morning  word  was  recived  that  the  raiders, 
after  having  forced  the  Yorktown  men  to  join 
them,  were  obliged  to  relinquish  their  design, 
owing  to  th  eir  failing  to  get  the  Honeybrook  men 
out.  With  the  assistance  of  the  latter  tbe  crowd 
would  have  been  very  formidable,  alihoughthe 
Vigilance  Committee  were  prepared  to  resist 
any  attempt  at  violence.  Tbe  abortive  attempt 
of  last  night  has  had  no  effect  on  the  men  who 
have  been  working,  and  all  tb*»  collieries  that 
have  been  in  operation  since  the  strike  are  at 
work  again  to-dav. 

THREE  MONTHS'  VOLUNTEERS  CALLED  OUT  BY 

THE  GOVERKOR  OF  PENNSYLVANIA. 

fi!pecifll  Diepatch  to  the  yew-York  Timfg. 

Harrisburg,  Penn.,  Aug.  20. — The  Gov- 
ernor's call  for  three  months*  \olunteers  has 
met  with  a  prompt  response  from  all  parts  of 
the  State.  The  chief  tr  uble  at  the  State  De- 
partment is  to  select  from  the  excellent  mate- 
rial which  has  "been  offered  the  limited  number 
of  officers  and  men  required  by  the  emergency. 
The  entire  Fourth  Regiment,  numbering  about 
800  men.  have  offered  their  services.  Notwith- 
standing The  excellent  character  of  this  regi- 
m.'ut,  it  was  impossible  to  accept  its  ser- 
vices, as.  under  the  rules  established  £^y 
the  department  for  recruiting  these  «mer- 
^ency  men,  only  one  comoany  from  any  one 
regiment  can  be  accepted-  No  places 
Cf  rendezvous  for  the  two  regiments  have  yet 
been  designated,  but  it  is  highly  probable  Har- 
risburg and  Easton  will  be  chosen.  In  view  of 
the  prompt  response  to  his  call  the  Governor 
feels  justified  in  authorizing  Gen.  Pearson  to 
dismiss  to  their"  homes  those  members  of  his 
command  whose  business  suffers  by  their  ab- 
sence. These  dismissals  or  furloughs  are  lim- 
ited, however,  to  one-tenth  the  mem'bership  of 
the  command.  As  soon  as  the  regiments  of 
emergency  men  are  organized  they  will  relieve 
the  troops  now  on  duty  in  the  coal  regions. 


CONNECTICUT  TAXABLE  PROPEBTT. 

,         Special  Dispatch  to  the  yeie-  York  Time*. 

Hartford,  Aug.  20. — The  grand  list  of 
the  polls  and  taxable  property  of  Connecticut 
ratable  on  the  1st  day  of  October  last  has  just 
been  completed  at  the  office  of  the  Controller. 

It  shows  a  total  value  of  $344,406,977,  a  fall- 
ing off  in  amount  of  $7,378,492  from  the  list 
of  the  year  preceding,  and  of  $14,084,474 
from  the  list  of  1S74,  up  to  which  time,  for  two 
decades  at  least,  it  has  gradually  increased  each 
year.  Notwithstanding  this  falling  off,  the 
Legislature,  which  was  politically  Democratic 
in  187-i,  cut  down  the  State  tax  from  2  mills 
to  1  for  partisan  purposes ;  but  the  Republican 
majority  in  the  Legislature  last  "Winter  raised  it 
to  1 3^  mills,  both  in  view  of  the  reduction  in 
in  the  grand  list  an  i  the  extra  State  expenses 
inctirred  bv  the  e.^ecticij  of  the  new  Capitol 
building.  ^iThere  are  50.170  polls  in  the  State 
on  whidi  a  tax  of  $1  each  is  collectable. 


A  CUSTOM-B[,OUSE  EMBEZZLER. 
Richmond,  Va.,  Aug.  20.— Charles  B. 
Vaden,  Deputy  Collector  of  Customs  at  this 
port,  was  arrested  yes^  rday  on  a  warrant 
charging  him  with  embezzl  ng  $500  of  the 
Government  funds. "  He  was  admitted  to  bail 
by   Commissioner   Atkins   in   $1 ,000.      Upon 

further  investigation  by  Special  Treasury 
Agent  Ayer,  it  was  found  that  Vaden's  defalca-

day oil  another  warrant  and  bail  fixed  at 
$5,000,  and  he  was  held  for  that  amount.  He 
says  the  money  was  lost  in  gambling.  C-ol.

an  increase  of  the  bail  of  several  persons  ar

THE  CLYDE  LOCKOUT  ENDED. 
London,  Aug.  20. — The  lockout  of  ship- 
builders on .  the  Clyde  is  virtually  ended.  At  a 
meeting  of  the  masters  to-day  it  was  decided  to 
open  the  works  on  Tuesday  at  the  old  rate  of 
wages,  pending  the  settlement  of  the  dispute  by 
arbitration,  to  which  both  parties  have  agreed 
to  submit.  The  masters  and  men  will  meet  im- 
mediately to  settle  the  basis  of  arbitration. 

TEE  UNIOy  TRUST  FOROERT  CASE. 
Detective  Jayne,  who  arrested  Nelson  A. 
Gesner  and  E.  B:  Weston,  in  Chica^  on  Friday 
night  last,  on  a  charge  of  foigery,  arrived  here  last 
night,  but  no  arace  of  Ma  prisoner's  could  be  found 
either  at  Ludlow-street  Jail  or  at  Police  Head-quar- 
ters, and  Jayne  was  for  a  short  time  at  the 
Fifth- A  venue  Hotel,  bat  pleading  fatigue  after  his 
long  journey  declined  to  be  seen  or  led  into  conversa- 
tion. These  two  men  are  held  for  alleged  complicity 
in  the  passage  last  Winter  of  a  forged  bond 
for  $64,000.  on  the  Vnion  Trust  Company,  par- 
porting  to  have  been  drawn  by  the  New-York  Life 
Insurance  Company.  There  has  always  been  a  sequel 
to  the  forgery  case  which  needed  unraveling,  and  it  is 
thought  that  the  whole  truth  will  now  be  made 
known.  An  astonishing  rumor,  that  an  officer  of  the 
New- York  Life  Insurance  Company  has  been  impU-

TAXT  EVIDENCE  SECURED. 

Special  Diapalch  to  tlu  Kev-Vork  TIam. 

ViKELAND,  N.  J.  Aug.  20.— Tte  more  th* 
matter  is  investigated  the  plainer  it  appeaxa 
that  Father  Yivet  has  made  glj^rio^  misstate- 
ments  in  his  reference  to  the  Slaggioli  burial 
case.  It  has  from  the  first  been  vory  generally 
believed  that  his  claim  that  tbe  lot  where  Mog- 
gioli  was  buried  was  sold  to  Mrs.  Gregory  pre- 
vious to  his  interment  was  an  after-thought,  « 
plan  devised  to  enable  the  priest  to  escape  from 
a  Dainfnl  dilemma;  and  the  facts  which  I 
have  succeeded  in  developing  to-day  are 
\seemingly  sufficient  to  prove  that  such 
is  the  case.  Enough  evidence  appeara 
to  have  been  gathered  which  can  and 
will  be  presented  in  due  form  at  the  proper 
time,  substantially  by  the  affidavits  of  the  per- 
sons concerned^  to  show  that  the  Driest  has  been 
guilty  of  a  deliberate  falsehood  In  his  represen- 
tations concerning  the  disposal  of  •'  burial 
rights''  to  Mrs.  Gregory  ;  and  it  goes  far  to  at^ 
test  the  fact — ^if  it  does  not  conclusively  demon- 
strate itr— that  he  has  antedated  tbe  receipt  for 
the  lots  which  he  afQrms,  and  sh^  pretend^ 
she  holds  in  her  possession.  The  facets 
.are  these :  On  two  separate  occasions,  and 
to  different  persons — to  a  Mr.  Armstrang, 
an  Englishman,  and  to  a  31r.  Graziana,  an 
Italian — Mrs.  Gregory  has  stated  positively  and 
emphatically  that  she  came  into  possession  of 
the  aforesaid  lots  en  the  7th  day  of  Aucust ; 
whereas,  the  priest  as  confidently  aSrms  that 
he  sold  them,  or  the  right  to  bury  there,  on  thje 
2d  Inst.  Now  here  is  a  discrepancy  which, 
if  established  and  proved,  settles  the  case  on  its 
merits  at  once,  and  finally  disposes  of  the  pre- 
tended prior  claim  to  the  grave  and  the  assumed 
offense  of  trespass.  These  gentlemen  both  tell 
a  plain,  straightforward  story,  and  the/ 
are  «*ady  to  make  their  stattsments 
tmder  oath.  They  are  neichbors  of  Mrs. 
Gregory  and  they  say  that  she  came  to  them 
complaining  of  the  wrong  that  had  baen  done 
her,  and  affirmed  over  and  over  again  that  tho 
priest  sold  ihs  lots  to  her  on  the  7th  inst. 
Knowing  of  the  priest's  statement  to  the  con- 
trary, and  that  Maggioli  was  interred  on  the  4th 
inst.,  they  questioned  hex  closely  on  the  sub- 
ject.  and  she  leturned  but  one  answer,  nauiely, 
that  it  was  on  the  7th  of  August,  two  days  be- 
fore the  Italian  was  buried.  She  evidently  mado 
these  statements  in  obedience  to  instructions, 
and  she  adherel  t'*  them  until  her  mistake  was 
made  isnown  to  her  by  some  interested  friend. 
Bat  it  is  clear  that  it  was  not  a  blunder  at  first, 
as  she  was  given  every  chance  of  correcting 
herself  if  it  had  been  a  mare  fault  of  memory. 
Under  these  circumstances,  thA^ore,  it  is  evi- 
dent that  the  priesfs  claim  that  Mrs.  Gregory 
has  rights  which  invalidates  Jlrs.  5Iaggiolis  i/ 
untenable  and  cannot  be  sustained. 

It  has  been  sought  also  to  make  capital  out  ot 
the  pretense  that  Maggioli  was  not  a  good  a^d  - 
consistent  -  Catholic,  and  was  not  th'jre- 
fore  deserving  of  Christian  burial.  A 
respected  member  of  the  Catholic  Church 
here,  one  who  is  in  fuU "  fellowship,  made 
a  statement  to  me  to-day  which  goes,  far  to 
prove  that  Gregory  also  fell  short  ol  Father 
Vivet's  standard  in  many  respects.  He  said 
that  just  previous  to  Gregory's  deatii,  at  tha 
earnest  solicitation  of  Mrs.  Gregory  and  her 
friends,  he  called  upon  Father  Vivet  and  re- 
quested him  to  go  and  administer  the  sacramenB 
to  the  dying  man.  Farher  Vivet  refused  t^oint 
blf  nk  *to  do  anything  of  the  kind. 
His  reasons  for  objecting  were  thAt 
Gregory  was  not  '  a  good  Catholic,  had 
seldom^  if  ever,  been  present  at  mass  on 
Sunday,  had  not  attended  to  his  Easter  duties — 
tbe  same  plea  that  was  put  forward  in  Mag- 
gioii's  case  as  sufiicient  to  exclude  him  alto- 
gether from  the  cemetery  ;  and,  fnrtliermore, 
that  he  had  been  a  nimseUer  in  Philadelphia, 
and  that  in  itself  was  sufficient  reason  why  he 
should  not  be  interred  in  consecrated  ground. 
But  the  priest,  despite  his  refusal,  was  eamesdv 
entreated  to  disregard  such  objections,  and  al- 
low  Gregory  to  die  reconciled  to  the  Church, 
and  he  consented  to,  and  did  see  him  the  day 
before  he  died.  The  report  is  current,  althouah 
I  do  not  vouch  for  its  truthfulness,  that  there 
was  a  money  consideration  in  the  matter  -which 
had  great  weight  with  the  priest. 

In  an  interview  with  Mrs.  Gregory  this  after- 
noon she  expressed  herself  as  terribly  aggrieved 
over  the  matter,  and  said  she  should  look  to  the 
priest  for  redress,  who  had  represented  to  her 
that  her  husband  was  being  buried  in  conse- 
crated ground,  when,  with  **that  dog*'  (she  used 
this  expression  referring  to  Maggioli)  Ijing 
there  beside  her  husband,  it  was  likely  to  prove 
anything  but  that.  She  professed  to  own  the 
lot  where  the  Italian  is  buried,  but  as 
she  was  positively  certain  she  owned  only 
two  lots,  one  of  which  is  occupied  by  the  body 
of  her  husband,  and  the  other,  -wMch  is  vacant, 
lies  between  her  husband's  and  ilaggioU's 
grave,  it  is  hard  to  understand  how  she  could 
establish  her  title  to  the  latter's  resting  place. 
Jlrs.  Gregory  is  a  sour-visaged  Irish  woman,  not 
over  particular  as  to  the  expressions  which  sha 
uses,  and  the  very  reverse  of  Mrs.  ilaggioli  in 
temperament  and  character.  l.awyer  TTurner, 
who  has  the  management  of  the  legal  points 
in  the  case,  informed  me  this  aft<*moon.  after 
hearing  the  statement  as  here  telegraphed,  that 
with  such  evidence  in  his  hands  there  could  be 
no  contest  in  the  matter ;  they  simply  establish 
Mrs.  Maggioli's  claim  in  all  its  details. 

TWO  MUBDESS  AND  A  LYNCHING. 

Atchison,  Kan.,  Aug.  20. — On  Sunda; 
evening  Bill  Scroggs,  a  worthless  fellow  living 
near  Oak  Hills,  in  this  county,  shot  and  in- 
stantly killed  Mr.  J.  Olypbant,  an  old  and 
prominent  citizen.  Three,  years  ago  Scroggj 
eloped  with  and  married  a  djughter  of  Mr. 
Olyphant.  Subsequently  he  abused  his  wife 
shamefully,  and  she  left  him,  returning  to  her 
father's  boose,  where  she  has  since  lived- 
On  Sunday  evening  Scroggs  went  to 
Mr.  Olyphant's  house  and  asked  to  eee 
his  wife.  Mr.  Olyphant  refused  to  admit  him. 
and  Scroggs  drew  a  pistol  and  fired,  thje  ball 
striking  Mr.  Olyphant  in  the  right  breast,  in- 
fiicting  a  wound  which  terminated  fatally  in  & 
short  time.  Scroggs  at  once  started  for  Oak 
HUls,  but  was  soon  overtaken  by  a  partv  of 
four  men,  who  attempted  to  arrest  him.  Se  re- 
fused to  submit  to  arrest,  and  fired  ontbepartv; 
the  ball  striking  John  Groff,  a  respecta- 
ble farmer,  in  the  left  breast,  Idlliixg  -  him  iu- 
stantlv.  Scroggs  then  went  to  the  residence  of 
Mr.  'VC'addell,  a  Jnstico  of  the  Peace,  and  sur- 
rendered himself.  This  morning  at  8:30 
o'clock  a  party  of  men  went  to  WaddeU's  house, 
where  Scroggs  was  confined,  took  him  out  t« 
the  hills,  and  hanged  him.

Vabsa,  Sunday,  July  29, 1877. 
'  The  fa^tives  from  Kavama  who  arrived 
liere  last  Thursday  aftarnoon  on  board  the 
Austrian  Lloyd's  m«a  steamer  which  had  been 
sent  expressly  to  fetch  them,  thus  delaying 
Its  departure  for  the  capital  24  hours, 
were  ordered  by  the  authorities  to  be  carried  to 
Constantinople  and  thence  sent  on  to  Broussa. 
As  soon  as  the  fngitlres  heard  o(  this  order 
they  broke  out  into  the  most  bitter  lamenta- 
tions, for  most  of  the  families  on  board  were  in- 
complete, fathers,  mothers,  sisters,  brothers, 
sons,  or  daughters  bein^  missing,  and  the  poor 
creatures  on  board  had  clung  to  the  hojw  that 
their  relatives  had  escaped  from  the  Circassians, 
and  would  find  their  way  here,  Jthe  distance 
liy  road  being  only  a  day's  jooSmey,  To  be 
fidut  into  Asia  seemed  to  them  like  being  exiled 
to  the  antipodes,  and  they  despaired  of  ever 
again  seeing  home  or  their  missing  relatiyes 
and  friends.  So  great  was  their  distress  that 
representations  were  made  to  Prince  Hassan, 
who  is  in  command  of  the  Egvp^^i  troops 
which  garrison  this  place,  and  his  Highness 
ordered  the  refugees  to  be  transshipped  into  a 
Turkish  vessel.  This  was  done  at  H»  o'clock  at 
night  and  the  following  morning  they  were 
landed  here  and  lodged  in  the  Greek  public 
schools.  Yesterday  and  the  day  before  I  vis- 
ited the  schools  and  hospitals, and  from  the  infor- 
mation I  obtained  at  these  places  I  am  now  able 
to  give  a  tolerably  succinct  account  of  what 
happened  at  Kavama.  The  school-rooms  are  so 
large  and  lofty  that  two  of  them  afford  accommo- 
dations for  320  persons  without  overcrowding. 
The  families  are  grouped  together  in  rows  on 
straw  mats  covered  with  quilts  and  cushions. 
The  poorer  classes  are  now  bfetter  off  than 
wealthier  inhabitant!!,  for  the  former,  offering 
too  poor  a  prize  for  the  Circassian.?,  escaped 
with  all  their  worldly  goods — that  is  to  say,  bed- 
ding and  cooking  utensils — whereas  the  well-to- 
do  were  glad  enough  to  get  away  with  a  whole 
tliin.  I  noiifred  that  there  i^re  very  few  young 
v.-omen,  and  on  rt^tnarking  this  fact  was  told 
that  the  Cirra.ssians  had  carried  off  a  great  num- 
ber with  a  view  to  i^e!!  lag  them.  It  is  roughly 
f-srimated  tJiat  p.bout  .300  persons — mostly 
5*oung  women  and  boys — are  missing,  btit  ^  ra- 
7'Orc  has  reached  here  that  a  large  number  had 
Fuoceeded  in  escaping  to  a  neighboring  village. 
Iq  the  public  schools  and  a  school  at- 
tached to  the  Greek  Church  there  are 
altogether  847  refugees  frotn  "Kavama 
alone,  and  distributed  among  private  hou.«es 
i*  aboat  an  equal  number  of  fugitives 
from  various  villages  along  the  coast  between 
Ilaltch;'.!  ami  Shabla.  AVhen  tlie  Austrian  boat 
arrived,  some  correspondcnLs.  who  witnessed 
<ri  destitute  condition  of  tie  fugitives,  got  up 
e  sabdcription.  which,  aided  by  the  Con.siils  and 
.•.nae  fuuds  from  The  Red  Crescent  Society,  pro- 
rucad  a  suuicient  sum  to  supply  the  500  new  ar- 
rivjii.-i  wi^li  bread  and  cheese  and  some  small 
liixurit-^  for  the  oM  peoole  for  more  than  a  day. 
Id  tile  inf.-»ntime,  I  was  informed  that  the  mllt- 
T.nry  authorities  were  going  to  distribute  rations 
%o  all  the  fiiKitives.  L*p  to  the  present  thif*  prom- 
":^M  has  not  been  culfllled,  and  the  fugitives  to 
>tho  ntimber  of  at  least  1  .li(X)  are  totaUy  de- 
^eriiient  on  public  and  private  charity.  To  the 
lirinor  of  the  Greek  cumraunity  be  it  said  that 
nil  the  fugitives  are  every  dav  supplied  with  the 
neces-sarie-s  of  life,  and  clothing  has  been  distri- 
buted TO  those  who  reouircd  it. 
1  The  Greek  Hospital  is  an  exceedingly  clean 
«nd  well-ordered  establishment,  with  a  pretty 
teitle  garden  and  chapel.  It  was  founded  in 
^-■^(ji)  by  a  wealthy  Greek  merchant  of  Odessa, 
who  li-tt  rfufticieut  money  in  Kussian  banks  for 
jt^s  raaiuteuance.  TUoiigh  it  c*n  only  accomcno- 
date  1"S  patients,  it  is  attended  by  two  sur- 
geons, so  that  the  service  is  excellent.  It  is 
noteworthy  that  the  patients  at  present  com- 
pri>e  throe  Mussulmans  and  three  Bulgarians, 
races  who  certainly  have  no  claim  on  Greek 
*.ii:irity.  anfl  more  especially  at  the  present  mo- 
i-ieat.  The  Ilrst  objects  which  attracted  my  at- 
t';iition  were  two  pretty  girLs — Austrians — whose 
li*-:>,  had  besn  araputntod.  Th^-y^-are  victims  of 
t'u-^  Iximbardmeut  of  liustchuj^  Tliey  were  sit- 
ting ai  luncheon  with  their  mother  wheu  a  shell 
fi  U  ueiir  vheiii.  anil  the  splinters  shattered  a  leg 
t'f  eci^b  of  the  girls,  while  the  mother  escaped 
iiDh'.u-t.  When  they  amve<l  here  tm;ir  wounds 
•V'-re  gan.grened.  as  they  had  laid  for  nearly  a 
•*iek  without  meilical  aid.  The  girls  are  now 
ifi'Uing  on  fi^s^^ate.  and  can  ait  up  and  sew. 
'^heir  case  has  excited  great  interest,  and  a  sul> 
?cript:oa — again  started  by  correspondents — is 
on  fo<it  to  enable  the  faniily  to  go  to  Vienna. 
Tn  aauiher  ward  I  found  two  woundetl  women 
i'roui  Kavama.  One  was  shot  in  the  side,  and 
the  bullet  has  been  extracted  from  her  back. 
Her  son.  a  little  boy,  wsis  shot  through  the 
tlugh.  lu  answer  to  my  questions,  she  said 
That  the  Circasijians  shot  her  ann  her  son  be- 
cause she  could  not  give  them  money.'  The 
other  woman  received  two  shots  in  her  foot, 
wliich  will  have  to  be  amputed.  There  is  an- 
I'tiier  Kavama  woman  here  who,  on  witnessing 
the  tivjut  and  the  burning  village,  lost  her 
rea.*.ot;,  and  is  still  in  a  state  of  insanity, 
lu  the  men's  wartl  are  seven  men  and  the  bov  I 
have  alluded  to.  One  fine  young  man  has  his 
shoul'ler  shattered  by  a  ball,  arid  is  expected  to 
f*!e.  His  old  mother  is  con.stantly  by  his  bed- 
fii'.G  weeping,  and  almost  cruzily  recounts 
Mjatchcs  of  the  heart-rending  scenes  she  wit- 
nessed. An  old  man  in  the  next  bed  is  wounded 
iti  a  most  extraordinary  fashion.  The  ball 
pi-'sed  t'oiough  his  shoulder  from  behind,  en- 
•ered  under  his  jawbone,  came  out  at  his 
••beek,  and  cut  off  the  top  of  his  nose.  He  was 
lyin;<  on  his  face  on  the  ground  when  he  was 
fired  at.  Another  man  has  his  jaw  broken. 
Another  was  shot  in  the  throat,  and  the  ball  is 
In  his  larynx,  whence  it  caimot  be  extracted. 
His  death  .is  looked  upon  as  inevitable.  The 
taost  important  patient  Is  the  tcfaorbadjl,  who 
•^■as  one  of  the  tour  notables  of  the  village  who 
Tr&ited  with  the  Yuzbashi.  This  old  man  re- 
reived  two  balls  in  his  right  thigh  and  one  in 
his  left  arm.  His  life  is  despaired  of  on  account 
of  his.  age  and  feeble  state  of  health.  His 
name  is  Constantine  Gabriel,  and  he  is  the  most 
jo:portaut  witness  in  the  affair,  I  now  put  in 
the  form  of  a  narrative  the  information  I  ob- 
uiined  ill  scraps  from  these  and  other  wit- 
nesses :  . 
Aix)Ut  10  days  before  the  affray  some  100 
Circassians  made  their  appearance  at  the  vil- 
lage, and  were  refu-sod  acbni^sion.  Everyday 
tbeir  numbers  increased,  unci!  several  hundreds 
<>f  Circa-ssians,  Tartars,  and  Xogais  were  assem- 
l.jed  in  the  vineyards  around  the  village.  The 
Mussulmans  and  Christians  united  in  common 
iccord  against  this  threatened  invasion,-  and 
■fefused  to  obey  the  order  of  the  Cifcassians  to 
ȣNivo  the  village.  The  Greeks,  fearing  that 
toe  Circassians  wotxld  resort  to  violent  meastires, 
sent  to  Baltchik  andgot  the  Armenian  telegraph 
clerk  to  transmit »  dispatch  to  the  Greek  Con- 
sul in  Constantinople,  though  it  is  against  the 
rules  to  send  dispatches  at  present  unless  they 
have  been  approved  of  by  the  authorities,  A 
Yuzbashi  (in  this  case  the  term  corresponds  to 
Police  Sergeant)  came  down  IVom  Baltchik  to 
Kavama,  accompanied  by  two  (not  50,  as  I 
was  previously  informed)  policemen.  He  ■  ad- 
vised the  Greeks  to  leave  the  village,  and  meet- 
ing with  a  Qrm  refusal  be  proposed  that  the 
fchorbadjis  (rich  proprietors)  should  come  to  the 
Kouak  {Government  office^)  and  have  a  pour- 
farler  with  the  Circassian  cMefs,  Out  of  15 
tchorba<iji8  only  four  had  the  courage  to  go  to 
the  Kouak.  Up  to  this  time  (Saturday  after- 
noon) the  Circassians  and  their  savage-looking 
companions  had  remained  outside  of  the  village. 
The  Yuzbashi  not  only  brought  in  severals  chiefs 
but  a  band  of  followers.  The  tchorbadjis  refused 
to  recognize  the  Circassians  as  representing  the 
Government,  and  consequently  refused  to  evac- 
uate the  village.  The  Yuzbashi  then  proposed 
that  the  Greeks  should  pay  the  Circassians 
100,000  piastres,  (about  $4,250f)  and  on  that 
condition  they  might  remain  in  quiet  possession 
of  their  homesteads.  The  tchorbadji  Constan- 
tine Gabriel  said  that  they  had  already  paid 
large  contributions  to  the  Government  in 
horses  and  money,  and  that  they  would  not  re- 
fuse'any  official  and  reasonable  *deznand  for 
further  contributions,  but  that  they  could  not 
yield  to  this  irregular  sort  of  requisition. 
Thereupon  a  CireassiAD  shot  him  three  times 
with  a  rerolver.  Another  tchorbadji  received  a 
cut  over  the  head  with  a  yataghan.  •  A  third 
made  his  escape  in  the  confu^on  which  ensued, 
and  the  fourth,  hastily  drawing  his  pocket- 
book,  bought  his  life  for  1,000  piastres  paper 
money,  say  920. 
'  TU  QnAi  oatdda.  ]>MftM  the  shot*  wad  th* 


cries  of  the  wonnded  tehorbadils,  pttt  themselves 
on  their  defense,  fired  on  the  Circassians,  and  a 
m£lfe  ensued.  The  Circassians  immediately  set 
Are  to  the  town,  and  several  people  were  aftet^ 
ward  f  otmd  dead  among  the  rains.  Some  had 
been  previously  k'llled,  but  the  large  blisters  on 
others  and  the  absence  of  wounds  showed  that 
they  had  been  burned  alive.  The  wounded  men  in 
the  hospital  estimate  the  ntmiber  of  deaths  on 
the  Greek  side  at  a  minimum  of  25j  but 
there  may  be  more.  The  Greeks  were 
badly  armed  with  sporting-gims  and  old- 
fashioned  pistols,  whereas  the  (Srcassians  were 
armed  with  Winchester  repeating  rifles.  The 
combat  was  put  a  stop  to  by  the  arrival  of  the 
Caimakam — sub-Governor — of  Baltchik  and  by 
the  appearance  of  a  Turkish  iron-clad  before  Ka- 
vama. The  tchorbadji  Gabriel  lay  for  five 
hours  bleeding  on  the  floor  of  the  Konak,  no 
one  of  his  countrymen  during  the  afFra}'  daring 
to  go  to  his  assistence.  The  Turkish  i  marines 
landed  and  fired  on  the  Circassians,  some  of 
whom  were  killed  and  the  rest  put  to  flight. 
The  wounded  Greeks  were  taken  on  board  the 
iron-clad  and  treated  with  great  kindness.  Had 
it  appeared  a  few  hours  sooner  nothing,  said 
the  tchorbadji,  would  have  occurred,  and,  he 
added,  but  for  its  arrival  it  is  probable 
that  all  the  Greek  inhabitants  of  Kavama 
would  have  been  massacred.  The  principal 
miestion  is  still  left  in  doubt,  and  that  is  :  Did 
the  Governor  of  Varna  send  these  Bashi-Ba- 
zouks  to  Kavama  to  turn  to  turn  the  people  out, 
or  did  they  go  there  of  their  own  accord  i  The 
Governor  of  Varna  has  not  yet  returned  from 
Bahohik,  therefore  I  cannot  obtain  any  official 
information  ;  but  I  think  that  from  the  evi- 
dence, we  have,  it  is  pretty  dear  that  this  Ka- 
vama affair  was  a  c^se  of  brigandage  on  a  large 
scale,  committed  by  a  body  of  irregular  troops. 
The  jsogais,  whom  I  mentioned  as  forming  part 
of  this  band  of  marauders,  are  most  tinprepos- 
sessing  people,  natives  of  the  Crimea.  Tnev 
are  of  'Tartar  or  Mongolian  typo,  with  small 
eyes  and  flat  noses,  and  wear  rings  through 
their  nostrils.  Respecting  the  apothecary 
Amvia,  who,  according  to  a  semi-oflicial 
account  I  received  a  few  days  ago, 
was  a  Russian  emissary,  and,  after  inflaming 
the  Greeks,  had  commenced  the  disturbances  by 
firing  on  the  Circassians,  and  then  made  his 
escape,  I  could  get  no  information  from  the 
wounded  men;  but  Gabriel  was  positive  that 
the  first  shot  fired  was  when  the  Circassian 
fired  at  him.  A  Greek  priest  who  was  attend- 
ing the  wounded  men  at  the  hospital  had  made 
his  esci\pe  from  Kavama  disguised  in  a  Circas- 
sian dress.  The  Greeks  of  Kavama,  and  in 
fact  all  along  the  Black  Sea  'coast,  .speak  only 
Tarkish.  Those  of  Kavama  claim  kindred 
■  with  the  Varna  .Greeks,  and  the  hospitable  way 
they  are  being  treated  here  is  the  best  proof  of 
their  claim  being  acknowledged.  The  wounded 
men  attribute  all  the  harm  that  has  happened  to 
the  Yuzbashi  who  gave  a  sortof  ofiielal  sanction  to 
the  illegal  demands  of  the  Circassians.  They  suy 
that  a  few  days  before  this  same  Police  "Ser- 
geant went  to  Shabla,  a  ^-illage  higher  up  the 
coast,  and.  after  getting  the  Greeks  to  di^^irm, 
sent  the  Circassians  iii  to  pillage  the  town.  The 
British  gun-l)oat  Rapid  went  up  thiTe  last 
Thursday,  and  cave  f.>i:r  bags  of  biscuits  to  the 
inhabitants.  Three  of  them  had  been  killed  by 
(7ircas.-=iaiis.  The  Ciria>sians  are  not  officered 
by  regular  An.iy  officers,  and  the  Greeks  suy 
they  cannot  distinguish  who  are  the  chiefs.  .\s 
soon  as  news  of  tho  disturbances  at  Kavama 
reached  tho  neighboring  villages,  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  latter  places  fled  to  the  cavems  in 
tile  rock  on  Cape  Gulgrad,  which  is  called  by 
the  Greeks  Kaligara.  'fhis  isia  natural  fortifi- 
cation, which  has  been  rendered  still  more  com- 
modious and  defensible  by  circular  walls  on  the 
land  side.  A  score  of  men  could  bold  it  against 
a  battalion.  Several  Circassians  lost  their  lives 
in  trying  to  dislodge  the  defenders  of  this  place, 
and  three  Greeks  who  went  out  to  fetch  water 
were  shot  by  the  besiegers.  The  Circa.ssians.  it 
appears,  soon  raised  this  unprofitable  siege,  for 
last  Thursday  it  was  found  that  the  place  had 
been  evacuated  by  the  Greeks. 

The  conduct  of  the  Circassians  is  doing  im- 
mense harm  to  tlie  Turk^h  cause.  The  Greelts, 
who  if  not  philo-Turkish.  wore  at  all  events 
anti-Russian,  are  now  obligetl  to  louk,  as  they 
did  in  lf>*J8,  to  the  Russians  as  their  saviors. 
It  is  a  mistake  for  tho  Turks  to  look  upou  the 
Circassians  as  a  force  which  will  be  useful  to 
them.  In  regular  battles  the  Circas-sians  are 
cowards,  and  their  retreat  upon  the  regular 
Army  demoralizes  tho  latter.  Circassians,  by 
their  traditions  and  education,  are  only  fit  for 
nomadic  warfare,  and  that  is  not  required  here. 
The  only  chance  they  have  of  distinguishing 
themselves  is  by  cattlelifiing  and  massacres, 
and  it  is  clear  they  do  not  mean  to  let  any 
chance  go  by.  However,  they  are  likely  to  have 
a  bard  time'of  it,  as  Mehemet  All  Pasha  has 
declared  that  he  will  shoot  the  first  Circa.ssian 
convicted  of  plundering  or  indulging  any  other 
of  his  lawless  propensities,  and  Mehemet  All 
has  the  repuation  of  being  a  man  of  his  word. 

1  must  now  show  you  the  rrvKrs  rf«  //(  tnrdnille 
— the  conduct  of  the  Cossacks.  Tho  following 
is  a  copy  of  a  deposition  just  made  here  by  an 
old  Mussulman  before  Mr.  Kea<le,  English  Con- 
sul at  Kustchuk.  The  man  in  question  is  a  fine 
old  fellow,  about  '7'y  years  of  a^e — a  turbaned 
Turk,  with  a  lf»ng  flowing  white  beard.  His 
name  is  Osman  Mehemet  Oglou.  and  he  is  a 
native  of  the  village  of  Balvan.  in  the  district 
of  Tirnova.  This  viUa^e  roiisists  of  200  hou.ses 
inhabited  exclusively  by  Jlussulmans.  On  .Sat- 
urday, (says  Osman.)  three  weeks  ago.  on  tho 
7th  of  Juiy.  the  Ru.ssians  attacked  the  village  of 
Bidvan.  callei  some  of  us  out.  and  asked 
whether  wo  would  light  or  surrender,  and  if  we 
chose  the  latter  they  added  that  we  were  to  give 
np  our  arms.  \Ve  replied  that  we  had  no  power 
to  fight,  and  con.seouently  we  placed  our  arras 
In  a  cart  and  took  them  to  the  Russian  camp. 
ITie  Russians,  ha\-iag  received  them,  went  t:;o  . 
same  day  to  Tirnova.  Next  morning  the  Rus- 
siaus.  accompanied  by  Bulgarians,  eamo  from 
Musina  with  I'i  guns,  which  they  pointed  at 
Balvan.  at  the  same  time  placing  sentries  on 
every  side  of  the  village.  Jleanwhilothe  Bulga- 
rians from  Musina,  Jalla,  Liska,  Balvac-Mahalle, 
Caliman.  Ilousa.  Balvausa,  Kirejak,  and  Dre- 
nova  entered  tho  village  and  houses,  took  away 
first  all  our  cattle,  and  then  all  our  effects. 
^Vhile  the  Bulgarians  were  plundering  the  vil- 
lage we  went  to  complain  to  tho  Russians,  and 
begged  them  to  stop  the  pillage.  Some  of  tl  e 
Ru-ssians  were  looking  at  a  map,  and  then  went 
off,  but  one  of  them  answered  thus  :  '•  During 
the  insurrection  last  year  you  killed  the  Bul- 
garians, burned  and  plnnder&l  the  monastery: 
for  this  reason  they  now  retaliate."  lie  then 
went  away,  and  left  the  village  to  the  Bulgv 
rians.  The  burning  of  the  monastery  hap- 
pened thus :  During  the  insurrection  last  year 
the  Bulgarians  from  the  surrounding  villages 
were  collected  at  Musina,  and  passing  along 
our  village  they  wounded  one  of  our  shepherd.'. 
When  informed  of  it  we  followed  them,  and 
drove  them  into  the  mona-stery  of  Tirnova.  The 
troops  of  Tirnova  aften\-ard  'came  and  carried 
on  hostilities  for  10  days,  when  Fazli  Pasha  ar- 
rived with  two  guns,  and  destroyed  the  mona-s- 
tery. Some  of  the  Bulgarians  escaped,  but 
most  of  them  perished. 

Resuming  his  narrative  of  the  Batoum  affair, 
.  the  deponent  continued ;  " '  Seeing  that  there  was 
no  hope  for  us.  we  collected  all  our  women  and 
children  in  tho  mosque.  About  11  o'clock 
Ttirkish  time  (7  P.  M.)  the  Bulgarians  sur- 
rotmded  it,  and  massacred  all  except  mv  son — 
who  is  22  years  of  age,  and  whom  I  left, at 
ShumlaE  as  a  soldier — anci  myself.  In  this  ma.s- 
sa*-re  I  lost  my  wife  and  daughter,  two  daugh- 
ters-in-law, two  grandsons,  and  two  grand- 
daughters, of  which  my  family  consisted."  Ho 
added  that  Castambonl  was  burned  in  the  morn- 
ing of  the  same  day,  and  most  of  the  inhabi- 
tants massacred.  Those  who  remained  alive 
fled  to  our  village,  where  all  were  ma&.sacred. 
He  also  affirmed  that  the  same  night  the  vil- 
lages of  Kadjaboumou,  Kelemena^,  Batak,  and 
Pavlikan  were  also  burned  and  their  Inhabi- 
tants massacred^  The  old  Turk  gave  his  evi- 
dence with  the  unmoved  muscles  of  a  Stoic, 
and  in  a  straightforward  way  which  engaged 
the  confidence  of  his  auditors. 

•The  more  you  hear  of  atrocities  out  here  on 
one  side  or  the  other,  the  more  you  will  become 
convinced  of  a  truth  to  which  even  many  old 
residents  here  have  long  been  blind,  namely, 
that  the  level  of  civilization  of  tho  races  of 
Turkey  and  Ru-ssia  is  veryinuch  the  same.  The 
ignorant  Christian  out  here  will  act,  cntera  pari- 
bus,  in  the  same  way  as  the  Ignorant  Mussulman. 
Apart  from  the  formute  of  religion,  their  habits 
and  customs  bear  a  close  resemblance,  and  it  is 
proved  that  in  natural  ferocity  and  vindictive- 
ness  they  all  try  to  excel.  If  any  exception  be 
made  it  "must  be  in  favor  of  the  genuine  Turk, 
whose  disposition  is  naturally  mild  and  averse 
to  bloodshei  The  massacres  which  have  boon 
committed  have  for  the  moSt  part  been  done  by 
Circassians  and  others  of  Russian  origin.  It  is 
only  fair  when  speaking  of  the  Turks  to  distin- 
guish between  those  who  belong  to  the  couutry 
o4  antique  and  those  who  migrated  here  only  10 
years  ago  from  Russia,

AeiaOiir  Am  Crmaomtmt 
GBEXii-BrvxB  Division,  Fobt  Haix,  7 
Idaho  Territory,  Tuesday.  Aug,  7,  1877.  { 
Hy  last  letter  was  written  from  Gmnger, 
on  the  Union  Paoiflo  Railroad,  jost  as  we  were 
about  starting  on  our  second  trip,  whieh  has 
just  ended  by  our  coming 'In  at  this  post  for 
snppUea.  I/eaving  Granger  we  proceeded  north- 
ward, following  up  the  vaUoy  of  Ham's  Fork  of 
Green  River.  A  belt  of  alluvial  land  some  two 
miles  in  width  borders  the  river,  and  on  both 
sides  bad  land  bluffs  rise  several  hundred  feet. 
These  bad  lands  have  been  most  prolific  of 
fossils.  Near  the  head  of  the  stream  the  old 
Jlormon  emigrant  road  crosses,  and  on  reaching 
this  we  turned  westward  to  the  valley  of  Bear 
River.  We  were  now  in  the  Great  Basin, 
whose  waters  find  no  outlet  to  the  sea.  The 
valley  of  Bear  River  is  beautiful  and  fertile 
and  well  settled,  especially  at  the  north- 
em  end.  Although  surrounded  with  all 
the  indications  of  prosperity,  the  farmers  have 
diSicultifes  to  contend  with.  Ths  Winters  are 
severe,  and  frosts  occur  late  and  early.  We  were 
in  the  valley  early  in'  July,  and  had  frosts  al- 
most every  night.  StlU,  the  cotmtry  is  well 
adapted  for  a  Summer  range  for  cattle,  and,  by 
putting  up  a  small  quantity  of  hay  during  the 
Summer  cattle  can  easily  be  wintered  in  the 
valley.  Timber  is  scarce,  but  -coal  beds  are 
found  in  the  rocks  on  either  side — a  fact  that 
will  be  more  highly  appreciated  in  the  fnttire. 
At  present  but  fewof  the  beds  have  been  opened, 
•and  only  coal  sufficient  to  supply  local  demands 
is  mined.  From  Bear  River  Valley  the  line  of 
march  was  up  Smith's  Fork  of  the  Bear  to  its 
head,  and  thence  eastward  to  the  western  edge 
of  the  Green  River  Basin.  "This  brought  ns 
into  our  highest  mountain  country.  The 
range  west  of  the  basin  contains 
the  highest  peaks  in  our  district, 
their  elevation  ranging  from  0,000  feet  to  11,- 
500  feet  Although  rising  from  4,000  to 
5,000  feet  above  the  valleys  the  greater  num- 
ber of  them  are  easily  ascended.  Mountain 
climbing  in  the  United  States  at  least  is  com- 
atively  an  easy  task.  Tho  perils  and  hair- 
brcidth  escapes  exist  only  in  tho  vivid  imagina- 
tions of  some  writers.  There  is  but  little  ro- 
mance about  it.  It  soon  resolves  itself  into 
hard  work,  requiring  perseverance  and  good 
lung  power.  Still,  the  views  from  the  snmmits 
well  repay  the  long  and  toilsome  climbing. 
Working  westward  again,  near  our  northern 
line  we  crossed  MoDougal's  Gap  to  John  Day's 
River,  one  of  the  branches  of  the  **  Siiake." 
This  entire  region  is  classic  ground.  Both 
the  pass  and  river  are  named  from 
trappers  connected  with  tho  fur  com- 
panies that  once  had  their  trading  posts 
scattered  through  this  country.  Here  also 
are  located  the  scenes  of  Capt  Bonneville's  ad- 
ventures, as  related  by  Irving.  Irving's  Astoria 
also  relates  many  incidents  that  occurred  in 
this  region.  A\Tien  we  cros-^ed  the  range  the 
higher  peaks  had  considerable  snow  on  their 
summits,  but  we  had  no  difficulty  in  crossing. 
Between  John  Day's  River  and  Salt  River,  an- 
other branch  of  Snake  River,  we  found  a  huge 
snow-bank  on  the  west  side  of  McDougall's  Pa.ss 
filling  the  entire  gorge,  and  extending  down  it 
nearly  two  miles.  Bluff  walls  rise  from  the 
snow-fiehl  on  both  sides.  There  was  no  way  of 
getting  aroimd,  so  after  some  little  trouble  we 
were  able  to  get  the  mules  on  the  snow,  of 
which  they  were  very  mistrustful  at  first.  As 
they  progres-sed.  however,  they  seemed  to  enjoy 
the  slipping  and  sliding,  and  came  back  to  terra 
flrma  with  reluctance.  Tho  caiion  below  the 
pass  contained  a  trail  which  wound  through  the 
rocks  and  fallen  timber  in  the  most 
intricate  manner.  From  the  gloomy  shadows 
we  .soon  emerged  into  the  broad  Valley  of  Salt 
River,  its  grassy  surface  goldenhued  in  the 
sunlight.  It  is  several  miles  in  width  and  one  of 
the  finest  grazing  valleys  iu  tho  West.  In  fart 
all  the  northern  portion  of  our  district  is  good 
grazing  land,  and  is  all  well  watered.  Numerotis 
springs  abound  along  the  foot  hills  and  feed 
streams  tributary  to  the  main  streams.  Wild 
ro.-^es  and  strawberries  were  abundant  every- 
where, reminding  us  of  tho  East.  We  foniid 
also  a  great  change  in  the  temperature.  In  one 
day  we  had  passed  from  Winter  to  Summer. 
With  snowbanks  on  all  sides  of  us  and  a  heavy 
frost  covering  our  tents  in  the  morning,  we  had 
a  temperature  of  Ho-'  Fahrenheit  in  the  shade 
in  the  afternoon. 

Salt  River  derives  its  name  from  the  occur- 
rence of  beds  of  salt  in  the  rocks  bn  the  west 
side  of  the  valley.  There  are  good  salt  springs 
on  several  of  the  western  branches  of  the  river, 
especially  on  the  Smoky  Fork.  At  the  Oneida 
Salt  Works  one  spring  is  used  which  keeps 
three  vats  in  operation,  producing  200,000 
pounds  of  salt  per  mouth,  the  market  for  which 
is  foimd  mainly  in  Montana.  These  springs 
must  in  the  future  attract  much  attention,  and 
prove  a  source  of  wealth  to  their  owners.  At 
present  they  are  about  GO  miles  from  the  near- 
est settlement — Soda  Springs. 

From  Salt  River  we  traveled  westward  to  the 
Blackfoot  Fork  of  Snake  River,  and  at  once 
found  ourselves  in  a  very  different  kind  of 
country.  We  were  beyond  the  moimtains,  in  a 
region  of  buttes  or  high  hills,  with  wide,  open 
vaSeys.  The  streams  wind  through  these  val- 
leys, expauillng  into  small  lakes  and  marshes, 
bordered  by  basaltic  lava  bluffs.  The  lava 
seems  to  have  spread  over  the  open  country  and 
around  the  limestone  buttes.  The  source  of 
this  lava  we  found  in  several  old  craters  be- 
tween the  Blackfoot  and  Soda  Springs  Creeks. 
Some  of  these  craters  are  verv  distinct,  while 
ot'ners  appear  to  lie  in  ruins.  &ne  that  we  vis- 
ited was  circular,  about  500  yards  is  diameter, 
and  rising  200  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sur-' 
rounding  lava.  On  its  summit  was  a  saucer- 
like  depression  some  20  feet  in  depth.  The 
rock  was  light  and  scoriaceous,  and  had  the  ap- 
pearance of  having  been  recently  potjred  out. 
There  i^  but  httle  doubt  that  the  pouring  out  of 
this  lava  is  one  of  the  most  recent  of  geological 
events.  On  the  Portneuf  River,  which  was  the 
next  stream  we  followed,  the  lava  appears  again, 
and  seems  to  have  fiowed  down  the  caiiou  and 
snread  out  on  the  great  Snake  River  plain,  'The 
river  is  f till  of  littlB  falls  from  three  to  20  feet 
high,  due  partly  to  ledges  of  ba?alt,  and  paitly 
to  dams  built  by  former  hot  springs  depositing 
calcareous  material  across  the  :»rream  bed. 
I'bese  falls  add  much  to  the  attractiveness  of 
the  scenery.  The  hills  rise  high  on  both  sides 
of  the  cafion,  gradually  fading  out  into  the  plain 
»s  we  approach  Snake  Kiver.  On  Rosa'  Fork,  a 
small  tributary  of  the  Portneuf,  the  Agency  for 
the  Bannock  Indians  is  located.  Besides  Ban- 
nocks, there  are  a  few  Shoshone  Indians  at  this' 
agency.  Although  we  have,  been  on  the  reser- 
vation for  some  time,  we  have  met  but  few  of  its 
possessors.  As  a  race,  the  Shoshones  and  Ban- 
nocks are  much  finer  in  their  personal  appear- 
ance than  the  Utes,  with  whom  we  bad  so  much 
to  do  in  Colorado.  From  the  Ross  Fork  Agency 
we  came  direct  to  Fort  Hall  for  our  August  sup- 
plies, having  been  out  on  this  our  second  tnp 
six  weeks,  during  which  time  we  made  42 
principal  stations,  making  a  total  of  81  tor  the 
time  we  have  been  in  the  field,  besides  numer- 
ous sub-stations  and  locations. 

Fort  Hall  is  located  in  a  beautiful  grassy  val- 
ley on  Lincoln  Creek.  This  creek  was  formerly 
known  as  Warm  Spring  Greek,  from  the  warm 
springs  located  at  the  foot  of  .the  hills  south  of 
the  post  From  these  springs  the  water  has 
been  conveyed  in  ditches  through  the  grounds, 
keeping  them  green  through  the  hot,  dry  season. 
Tho  post  was  constructed  by  Capt.  Putnam  in 
1870,  after  whom  a  prominent  peak  to  the 
southward  is  named.  All  through  the  trip 
from  which  we  have  just  oome  in  we  have  found 
game  abundant ;  deer,  elk,  and  antelope  have 
been  everywhere  in  the  mountains,  and  grouse 
in  the  vaUeys.  The  streams  have  also  helped 
out  our  larder,  our  largest  salmon  trout  measur- 
ing 18  it]  Inches  in  length. 

Fort  uall  has  been  the  supply  depot  for  two 
other  divisions  of  the  survey.  Mr.  Wilson's 
party  was  here  about  two  weeks  a^o,  having  had 
a  successful  trip  from  the  "Sweetwater  dis-- 
trict.'*  Ho  went  southward  to  complete  the 
triangulation  in  the  western  portion  of  the

sion—Mr—Bechler's— has  been  in  several  times, 
and  has  been  obliged  to  work  somewhat  slowly 
on  account  of  high  water  in  the  streams.  The 
snow  in  the  mountains  has  lasted  longer  than

long  been  a  b«ge  of  contention  among  geolo-

others  regarding  them  as  a  series  of  transition

THE  PENNSTLVAlflA    COAL  TRADE. 


BE- 


BAD  EEPOETS  PBOM  THE-  AUTHBAOITB 
GIONS — PRODUCTION  OP  THE  'WEEK. 
I'rom  the  PkOadtlplua  Ledger,  A.vg.  20, 
We  have  this  week  to  report  of  the  anthracite 
coal  trade  a  widely  extended  demoralization.  For 
about  a  week  daring  the  middle  of  the  current  month 
there  was  a  moderate  prodaction  of  coal  in  the 
I^hl^h  coal  regions,  in  addition  to  a  pretty  full  pro- 
daction  in  the  Schuylkill  coal  region.  As  was 
threatened  by  a  portion  of  the  miners  In  the  Lehigh 
region  week  before  last,  there  was  a  general  stoppage 
in  that  region  on  the  17th  Inst.,  becaa.se  their  de- 
mand for  an  advanA  of  wages  was  not  conceded.  It 
is  uncertain  at  tills  present  writing  whether  the 
comparatively  few  men  at  work  in  portions  of  the 
Lehigh  region  will  be  able  to  conthmo  against  the 
majority  who  have  gone  out.  It  was  hardly  supposed 
that  they  would.  While  they  kept  at  work 
they  famished  to  tho  Lehigh  Valley  Rail- 
road about  one.thlrd  of  an  average  ton- 
nage. With  this  lliht  production  discontinued 
nearly  the  entire  anthracite  coal  trade  to  tide  is  left 
to  the  Schuylkill  ooal  retfion,  and  its  traoaportatlon 
to  the  Reading  Railroad  Company,  its  tribatarles 
and  connections.  All  the  other  companies  that  la.Ht 
year  and  two  years  before  formed  the  famed  coal 
"  cnmhinatlons  "  have,  from  various  causes,  almost 
entirely  ceased  to  compete  for  the  seaboard  market, 
with  little  present  prosi>ect  of  an  early  resumption. 
The  stock  of  coal  of  "the  Lehig'a  Valley  Railroad 
Company  at  Amboy  for  the  week  ending  on  the  18th 
Inat.  was  aboat  the  same  as  that  of  the  week  before, 
the  receipts  about  equaling  the  shipments  for  the 
time.  Toe  Central  of  New-Jersey  and  its  connec 
tions  in  this  State  are  doing  httle  or  nothing lieydnd 
moderate  sales  of  stocks  on  hand.  At  we  learn, 
the  prices  of  eoal  have  not  changed  much,  if 
any.  from  the  quotationa  noted  in  onr  last 
weekly  review  of  the  market.  They  are 
euppoeed  to  be  at  a  fairly  paying  point,  bat  not  lo 
much  advanced,  the  operators  eontend.  as  to  warrant 
any  advance  of  weges,  especially  as  much  of  the  coal 
now  produced  Is  to  fill  contract*  entered  into  weeks 
ago.  when  prices  were  at  their  lowest.  ITie  Presi- 
dent of  tho  Headhu:  Coal  and  Iron  Company,  in  order 
■  to  keep  on  terms  with  his  workmen  and  induce  con- 
tinued work,  does  not  name  pricesat  the  usual  time  Co 
be  paid  for  labor  in  the  mouth  of  July,  but  promisee 
at  the  end  of  Atigast  to  return  the  higher  wages 
that  may  then  be  current  for  both  July  and  August. 
If  this  promise  is  accepted  in  good  faith  it  will  Insare 
to  operators  and  to  the  railway  a  heavy  tonnage  and 
to  the  laborers  a  prnportionate  share  of  the  advance 
In  coal.     In  the  meantime  the  noo-producing  coal  re- 

fions  are  consoliog  them.sclve5  as  they  best  may  with 
he  idea  that  aa  the  prodact  of  coal  Is  shortened  by 
strikes  the  price  of  coal  will  he  advanced  to  their 
profit  by  the  time  production  is  resumed. 

No  returns  havebeon  rt*ceived  for  the  week  ending 
Aug.  1 1  of  shipments  by  the  Delaware.  Lackawaima 
and  Western  Hailroad  or  the  Delaware  and  Hndson 
CanaL  the  trade  of  both  companies  beinc  interfered 
with  by  the  strike  in  the  northern  coal  fields,  mainly 
for  advanced  wo^^s.  The  Bitnation  in  Luzerne  Coun- 
ty Is  unchanfred.  ooal  production  being  now  almost  en- 
tirely confined  to  the  Schuylkill  reeion.  For  ^a 
week  ending  the  11th  Injt.,  the  total  tonnage,  as  re- 
ported by  the  several  carryini;  companies,  amounted  to 
537.062  tons,  against  iiC.iiOO  tons  in  corresptmd- 
ing  week  last  year,  a  decrease  of  39. 1 3  J^  tons-  Tho 
total  amount  of  anthracite  mined  for  the  vear  Is 
12,099.952  tons,  »gain.st  9.816, -4.^9  for  same' period 
last  year,  au  increase  of  2.'J^'3.493  tons.  The 
qtiantity  of  bitnmlDous  coal  sent  to  market  for  the 
week  amounted  to  .57.457  tons,  ikrunst  79.003  tons 
in  corresponding  week  last  year,  adecrease  of  21.5-tt» 
tons.  The  total  tonnage  of  all  kinds  of  coal  for  the 
week  is  -144,519,  against  505,  203  tons  in  corre- 
sponding week  last  year,  a  decrease  of  t>0.nS4  tons. 
•The  total  tonnafre  of  all  kinds  of  coal  for  the  coal 
year  is  13.965, 132  tons,  against  12,0,'>7.fi43  tons  to

THE  RACIKG  AT  SARATOGA. 


A.  KUJtSSrS  LOXG  SERVICE. 
The  Boston  fferald  of  Sanday  has  the  follow- 
ing, in  connection  with  tfao  aainoancemeat  of  the 
death  of  a  faithful  nurse:  "Miss  R«heccA  Tavlor, 
who  ministered  a»  nnrse  from  1 826  to  1S60  nt  the 
Massachusetts  (j«n«ral  Hospital,  died  at  the  residence 
of  her  niece,  Mrs.  A.  F.  Harvey,  in  this  city,  on  tho 
17th  lost.,  at  the  ago  of  85  years  and  9  months.  She 
bftcame  a  member  of  the  then  Dr.  Winslow'a  church, 
in  fiovdois-ctreet,  In  1830,  and  lived  an  exemplary 
Christian  life.  In  Boirdit<:b*s  history  of  the  hospital 
he  says,  '  The  highest  praise  that  could  be  bestowed 
on  an  attendant  at  the  hospital  would  be,  that  she 
was  as  good  as  MIm  Taylor."  The  late  Dr.  James 
Jackson,  in  a  I)«tt«r  to  the  Vitfitiue  Committee  of  the 
hospital  in  1941,  Bjpoaking  of  Miss  Taylor,  said  : 
'  She  has  WTved  the  hospital  so  long, 
and  with  such  untiring  fideiitr,  always 
actln;;  from  the  hichest  principles,  that  X  think  she 
has  earned  &  home  here,  and  it  would  disturb  my 
bones  in  tho  tomb  if  she  should  ever  be  refused  any 
comfort  which  this  institution  can  afford.  I  am  tho 
more  ready  lo  rlvo  this  written  testimony  becanse  I 
am  one  of  the  few  who  have  been  a  witness  of  her 
conduct  from  the  beginning.  Dr.  John  C.  Warren  en- 
tirely concurred  with  me  m  the  opinion  and  senti- 
ments I  expressed.'  The  Board  of  Trustees,  on  her 
reiijniation  as  nurse, Oct,  17,  1860,  voted  'that  In 
consideration  of  the  advanced  age  of  Miss  Taylor,  and 
her  long  and  faithful  services,  which  are  held  In 
rrateful  remembrance  by  the  boftrd,  she  he  rellered 
m>m  all  farther  duties  in  the  hospital,  and  that  her 
wages  be  continued  till  further  order  of  the  board.* 
The  boajrd  has  faithfully  continued  its  appreciation 
of  her  services  to  the  time  of  her  demise.  Her  re- 
mains were  carried  to  Bradford,  Vt." 


TEE  8TVTTGABT  MAMMOTH. 
The  Albany  Argxu  aays  that  the  Stuttgart 
mammoth,  which  reached  Rochester  last  week,  k  de- 
signed  for  the  University  of  Virginia,  Prof.  Word 
having  pofchased  it  with  fands  from  the  bequest  of 
the  late  Ijewls  Brooks  to  that  Institution.  The  re- 
construction ot  this  famous  animal,  when  taken  apart 
and  packed  in  boxes,  weighed  over  seven  tons.  The 
task  of  putting  together  the  separated  portions  of  the 
mammoth  has  been  commenced,  and  the  assistance  of 
an  ej^rienced  artist  from  Germany  and  two  from 
New-York  has  been  engaged  by  Prof.  Ward.  The 
task  will  consume  several  weeks.  The  Pro* 
feasor  baa  nearly  completed  his  collection  for  the 
museum  of  the  university,  which  Mr.  Brooks  pre- 
sented, and  this  week  will  ship  the  seventeenth  car- 
load of  curiosities,  which  will  finish  the  task.  The 
Professor  and  his  party  visited  Eualand,  Ireland, 
Scotland,  France,  Germany,  Italv,  ^gypt,  Arabia, 
i.nd  India  in  search  of  treasures  for  the  museums  of 
Virginia  »nd  RocheHter.  One  of  the  party,  a  young 
roan  from  Rochester  najned  Homaday,  'whom  Pvof 
Ward  left  in  foreign  lands,  is  to  continue  his  explora- 
tions to  Borneo,  Australia,  and  the  Fiji  and  Sand- 
■wich  Islands.  

A  NEVADA  HOTEL'S  OXTESTS. 
The  Virginia  (Nev.)  Enterprise  relates  this  of 
"Bob  Howland's  hotel,"  at  Meadow  Bake:  *' Bob  had 
no  sootier  put  up  bis  sign  than  his  old  mining  and 
prospecting  acquaintances  flocked  to  his  standard. 
They  conld  hardly  belifive  their  eyes  when  they  saw 
Bob's  name  on  the  sisn — It  seemed  almost  too  good 
a  thing.  In  they  marched  by  twos  and  fours,  and^ 
throwlue  their  blankets  and  other  traps  Into  a  oomer. 
advanced  with  a  'Hello,  Bob!  you  infernal  old  thief ! 
If  I  ain't  glad  to  see  you  may  I  be  blowcd ! '  They 
then  proceeded  to  make  themselves  at  home,  *  never 
missing  a  meai  and  never  paying  a  cent.'  The  butch- 
er finally  shut  down  on  meat  for  Bob's  botu^ling- 
house,  the  milkman  shut  down  on  milk,  and  the  bi^er 
on  bread.  Bob  explained  the  matter  to  bis  lodgers, 
who  to  a  man  swore  they  would  not  desert  him. 
They  would  whip  the  butcher,  the  milkman,  the 
haker,  or  any  other  man  Bob  wanted  whipped,  and  if 
no  more  meat,  milk,  or  bread  cotild  be  had,  they 
would  worry  along  on  boiled  cabbage  and  potatoes,  or 
any  other  eneap  stuff  that  conld  be  tiad."

Sa&atoga,  Aug.  20. — ^The  weather  .this  moni- 

ing  was  delightful,  and  presaged  a  successful  termi* 

nation     of     tbe    extra   day's     sport.    The    track 

was      not      Terr      fast,      but      was       in     fair 

order,      and       the        four       races       were       well 

eontested.    Both  the  favorites  came  to  grief  in  the 

first  two  events,  and  the  first  defeat  was  particularly 

mortlfyiflg,  as  it  was  won  by  a  rank  outsider;  and  the 

mutual  pools  paid  $137.    The  second  race  was  taken 

by  Madge,  and  the  tickets  on  her  were  worth  $-^  20. 

The  third  event   was   taken  by  Bombast,   whose 

tickets  paid  $8  50,  and  Rappahannock's  victory  in 

the  selling  race  was  worth  f  9  50  to  those   who  held 

tickets  on  him. 

THE  RACING  IK  DETAIL. 

THE  THBEE-QUABTES    DASH. 

The  sport  was  begun  with  a  scramble  among 
the  maiden  youngsters  in  a  dash  of  three-quarters 
of  a  mile,  for  which  five  of  them  were  engaged, 
namely:  P.  Smythe's  Telephone,  Heed's  Eugene  N. 
Robiiwon,  McDanierfl  War  Dance  filly.  "Withers' 
Lexington  filly,  and  Rice  &  Bethune's  Duncan  F. 
Kenner.  "When  summoned  to  the  track  Telephone 
was  withdrawn,  and  of  those  who  remained  in  the 
War  Dance  filly  was  the  favorite  at  $100,  Withers 
Lexington  filly  brineing  $75,  Keimer  $oo.  and  Rob- 
inson $15.  They  wore  readily  got  in  line,  and  on 
the  first  attempt  the  flag  fell,  with  Kenner  a 
length  in  front  of  the  other  three,  who  were  even, 
but  going  down  the  chnte  Rol>in.snn  bnd  the  moat 
speed  and  took  the  leading  uoKition.  while  the  War 
Dance  iilly  and  Kenner  were  neod  and  head.  Turning 
into  the  regular  trank  at  the  half-mile  pole  Robin.'^on 
was  a  length  in  front  of  the  War  Dance  filly,  and  she 
the  same  distance  before  Kenner.  who  was  also  a 
length  ahead  of  Withers'  filly.  Comine  ronnd  the 
lower  turn  Robinson  increased  bis  lead,  and  at  the 
three-quarterpole  was  two  Icn^hs  before  the  War 
Dance  filly.  In  this  manner  they  came  up  the  stretch, 
RobinsQji  -winning  by  two  len_^hs  in  l:li).  War 
Dance  filly  four  lengths  before  Kenner,  who  was  six 
lengths  away  from  Withers'  fiUv.  The  result  was  a 
complete  surprise  to  the  professional  speculators, 
who  lost  very  heavily. 

THE  SnLE  DASH. 

The  second  affair  was  a  mile  dash,  for  all  ages, 
with  an  allowance  of  seven  pounds  to  beaten  horses 
and  maidens.  For  this  there  were  eight  nominations, 
namely : .  Smythe*s  Madge.  McDaniel's  Sister  of  Mercy 
and  Lady  Salyera,  Lon^staff's  W.  I.  Higglns,  Bowies 
Mary.  Grouse's  Mechanic,  Daly  Brothers'  Dandy, 
and  Rice  &  Bethune's  Dr.  Livingstone.  In  the  pools. 
McDaniel's  entries  and  Mary  alt^mnted  as  favoriies, 
but  the  final  pool  sold  was  as  follows  :  McDaniel's, 
$150  ;  Marj-,  $150  :  Madi;e.  $75  ;  Mechanic.  $40  ; 
Higirins,  $30,  and  the  field.  $25.  As  Mr.  Crouse  had 
an  entry  in  the  race,  he  resii^ned  the  flag  to  Mr.  Ed- 
gar M.  Johnson,  who.  after  three  false  uttempt-s,  sent 
them  off.  with  lister  of  Mercy  In  the  lead.  Lady  Sal- 
yers  st-cond,  and  the  rest  well  bunched.  As  tiiey 
went  around  the  turn.  Sister  of  Mercy  was  pulled 
back,  and  Lady  Salyers  went  on  to  make 
the  running.  She  soon  led  two  lengths,  and 
Madge  went  to  the  second  place,  followed 
by  Mary,  who  was  a  length  before  SiMter  of  Mercy. 
There  woi*  another  change  a  little  further  on.  and 
when  they  reached  the  quarter  pole.  Lady  Salyers 
was  leading  only  half  a  length  before  Mary,  who  was 
a  length  in  tront  of  Madip'.  she  l)einp  the  same  di-s- 
tanct'  btf^fnre  Sister  of  Mercy,  with  Dundy  fifth,  and 
Dr.  Uvingstone  m  the  rear  ul  the  lot.  Running  along 
the  lia-.'k  stretch,  Marj'  passed  Lady  Salyers.  and 
changed  positions  with  her.  leiuling  half  a  length. 
and  then  shook  her  off.  When  they  passed 
the  balf-mile  polo,  Marv  was  showing  a 
length  iu  front  of  l^ady  Salyers.  who 
Was  lapped  on  the  quarter  by  Madge,  and  Rhe  in  turn 
was  lapped  iu  the  same  way  by  Sister  of  Mercy,  two 
I  ngths  ahead  of  Higgins.  tifth.  Coming  round  the 
h'wer  turn  Mary  was  still  holding  the  lirst  position, 
with  Ijaiiy  .Salyers  at  ber  quarter,  a  len^h  ahead  of 
Madgo  and  Sister  of  Memy,  ■who  were  on  even  terms. 
Turning  into  the  home  siretch  Mary  was  stillin  the 
van,  but  when  they  ha<i  run  a  short  way  up  Lady 
fcjalyers  had  her  beaten,  as  Mary  began  to  siinw  dis- 
treau.  She  lan  gamely,  however,  undert  he  whip, 
while  Lady  Salyers  got  to  her  head-  In  the  mean- 
time Sister  of  Mercy  came  to  the  assistance  of  her 
stable  companion,  and  the  pair  finally  passed  Mar\', 
while  Mudge  was  snealnug  along  on  the  extreme  out^ 
side.  The  finish  between  the  four  was  most  excUiug, 
and  wheu  they  reached  the  goal  it  appeared  as  if 
j  Lady  Salyers  had  won  by  a  neck  from  Sister  of  Mercy 
and  Madt;e,  while  Mary  was  only  half  a  length  back. 
1  The  jud^ies.  however,  reversed  this  order,  to  the 
I  astonistiuient  of  the  spectator?,  giving  the  first  place 
to  Madjre,  and  placing  Lady  Salyers  second  ond  Sister 
of  Mercy  third.  Mary  fourth.  Higgins  fifth.  Dr.  Liv- 
ingstone sixth.  Mechanic  seventh,  and  Dandy  in  the 
rear.     The  tiuie  was  It45i2. 

THE  MILE  AND  A  QUABTEE. 
The  third  event  -was  a  dash  of  a  mile  and  a  qtiarter 
for  3-year  olds,  which  had  five  entries,  and  four  of 
them  responded  to  the  Judges  call,  namely  :  Doa- 
well's  Bushwhacker,  McDaniel's  filly  by  Glen  Athol. 
Pierre  LorillarU's  Bombast,  and  Crouse's  Mechanic. 
The  favorites  had  fared  so  badly  in  the  first  two 
races  that  the  spectators  were  somewhat  afraid  to 
invest  largely  on  the, result  of  this  affair,  and  so 
tho  pooling  was  rather  light.  Bombast  bringing  $100, 
Bushwhacker  $53.  and  the  field  $20.  Wheu  the 
horses  were  started  from  the  three-quarter  pole 
Bombast  took  the  lead,  and  was  followed  by  Me- 
chanic and  the  other  two  were  tos:ethor  behind  them. 
Barrett  was  pulling  at  Bombast  and  Bushwhacker 
was  soon  coming  up  with  him.  When  th'ey  re.vh'*d 
the  judces'  stand  Bushwhacker  had  come  up  even 
with  Bombast,  and  th&  pair  were  leading  Mechanic 
two  lengths,  the  latter  being  lapped  by 
the  Glen  Athol  fiUy  at  the  quarter. 
As  they  ran  round  the  turn  Bom- 
bast pushed  out  half  a  length  in  front  of  Bushwhack- 
er, although  Barrett  was  still  tucging  at  his  head.  At 
the  nuarter  pole  the-y  were  even  sgain,  and  three 
lengths  away  from  Mechanic  who  was  a  length  be- 
fore McDaniel's.  Runnine  along  the  back  stretch. 
Bombast  showed  a  neck  in  front  of  his  competitor, 
and  then  be  passed  the  half-mile  pole  with  a  lead  of 
three-Quarters  of  a  length.  McDaniel's  had  in  the 
meantime  passed  Mechanic  and  >  was  two  lengths 
Itefore  him,  but  the  two  latter  were  entirely  out 
of  tho  race.  When  they  were  racing  around 
the  lower  turn  Hi^hes  kept  whipping  Bushwhacker, 
and  he  ^ot  up  to  Bombast's  soddle-girth.  and  there 
he  remained  when  they  turned  into  tlie  homo  stretch ; 
but  Bushwhacker  was  not  equal  to  the  emergency, 
and  Bombast  soon  bade  him  farewell,  winning  the 
race  easily  by  two  lengths  in  2:1.7i3.  Some  80  yards 
behind  Bushwhacker  was  McDaniel's  filly,  who  was 
six  lengths  ahead  of  Mechanic 

THE    SELI.I>-a   RACE. 

The  concluding  affair  was  a  selling  race  for  all 
ages,  one  mile  and  five-eighths,  which  brought  out 
Do«well's  Rappahannock,  Longstaff's  Partnership, 
and  Grouse's  Anbnm.  As  the  tide  had  now  turned 
in  fttvor  of  the  favorites,  the  betting  became  better 
and  Rappahannock  was  firmly  oack^  the  weights 
being  largely  in  his  favor.  He  sold  for  $200,  Part- 
nership bringing  $100,  and  Auburn  $40.  They 
were  started  midway  down  the  sectional  track,  and 
when  the  fiag  fell  they  were  apparently  even,  but 
Auburn  soon  got  to  the  front  and  turned  Into 
the  main  track,  leading  Partnership  by  a  length, 
the  hitter  being  the  same  dutanee  in 
front  of  Rappahannock.  When  they  came 
round  the  lower  ttim,  Spillman  sent  Rappaiiannock 
up  to  the  head  of  Partnership,  and  then  the  pair 
shot  past  Auburn,  soon  lea\-{ng  him  in  the  rear  by 
himself.  Rappahannock  then  parted  company  with 
Partnership  and  opened  a  gap  of  two  len^iu  at  the 
three-quarter  pole,  and,  forcing  the  pace,  he 
widened  the  dUtance  between  himself  ana  his  ptir- 
Euer  until  thev  came  to  tho  stand,  where  the  fa- 
vorite was  four  lengths  in  front  of  Partnership,  who 
was  the  same  distance  before  Auburn.  Around  the 
turn  there  way  three  lengths  differenc*  between  tUem, 
and  at  tho  ouarter  pole  there  -was  little  clmnge. 
Down  the  back  stretch  Evans  made  Partqorship  close 
upon  Rappahannock,  and  a  length  of  d.irlight  di- 
vided them  at  the  half-mile  pole,  while  Auburn  had 
got  to  the  tail  of  Partnership.  Coming  round  the 
lower  tijm  Partnership  closed  up  still  better,  and  his 
backers  were  cheered  with  the  prospect  of  hU  win- 
ning a«he  got  his  head  to  the  tail  of  Rappahannock  ; 
but  when  they  turned  Into  the  lower  stretch  he 
conld  make  no  further  progress,  for  Rappahannock 
had  plenty  of  speed  to  spare  for  the  final 
run  home.  When  they  got  pu^t  the  furlong  pole 
Auburn  made  a  spnrt  tmder  the  whip,  but  the  effort 
was  too  much  for  him,  as  he  speedily  fell  away  again. 
Rappahannock  then  won  the  race  by  a  length  and  a 
half.  Partnership  second,  four  lemrths  before  Au- 
burn. The  time  was  2:56.  According  to  the  con- 
ditions of  the  race,  the  winner  was  sold  at  auction, 
and  was  bought  in  for  $600,  or  $300  more  than  the 
price  for  which  he  was  entered.  As  half  the  surplus 
money  goes  to  tho  association,  and  half  to  the  second 
hoTwe.  Mr.  Longstaff  was  fortunate  in  winning  $200 
by  being  second,  while  the  purse  was  worth  nothing 
to  the  winner.

THE  BLACK  VEIL. 


XrWETZEN  YOCNQ  WOMEN  TAKE  THE  VOW 
OF  THE  ORDER  OP  THE  NOTRE  DAME  IN 
BALTLMORE. 

/Vom  tiu:  Ejttimore  5Vn,  Autj.  17. 
A  very  interesting  ceremony,  took  place  yes- 
terday morning  at  St.  James'  Catholic  Church.  Ais  - 
quith  and  Eajer  streets,  when  19  young  ladles, 
novices  of  the  Order  of  *'  School  Sisters  of  Notre 
Dame,"  took  the  seven  years'  vows,  assuming  the 
black  veil.  This  order,  whose  principal  seat  is  at 
Munich,  Germany,  had  its  seat  for  the  United  States 
at  Milwaukee  until  recently.  One  year  o.go  tho 
Eastern  Province  was  constituted,  with  Baltimore  as 
its  head,  Milwaukee  remaining  the  head  of  the 
Weetem  Province.  Rev.  Mother  Theophila.  the  first

AIa}or  W.  R.  Kinney,  who  i>  Msisttng  in  tb* 
prosecution  of  Joeeph  Myriok,  fihsdff:  J.  W.  Sul- 
lenger.  ex-Sheriff,  and  Charles  Gardnar,  Vmrotr 
Sheriff  of  Carroll  County,  and  oihera  on  trial  for 
the  murder  of  Carrie  Anderson,  at  WorthviUe,  re- 
turned to  the  city  yesterday  from  Carrollton,  feeling 
jubilant  over  his  success  thus  far.  The  evidenoe  ^Ua- 
cloeed  Friday  proved  a  bombshell  to  the  deCenie.  wbo 
preraOed  upon  Judge  T^her,  pre>idhi(  ta  the  ease,  to 
postpone  further  hearing  until  VTednwd^,  In  order 
that  they  mixht  have  time  to  prepare  their  line  of  de- 
fense. Among  the  last  persons  arrested  as  a  party  to 
the  erime  was  Kate  Oir,  who  was  taken  last  Wednes- 
day. Thursday  he  sent  for  his  brother,  who  is  a  law- 
yer, and  related  to  him  his  coaneetion  with  the  affair. 
The  brother  had  previously  denounced  the 
crime  bitterly,  and,  on  hearing  the  state> 
ment,  advised  Xate  to  make  a  clean  braaat 
of  it  to  ProseeutingAttorDey  Donaldson  and  Major 
Kinney.  Aeoordingly.  Fridav  raomtnc,  he  found 
those  two  Kentlemen  in  consultation,  and  after  hav- 
ing a  few  minutes'  conversation  again  with  his 
brother  he  told  the  cotmsel  exactly  what  ho  knew. 
They  then  determined  to  put  him  on  the  stand  as  a 
witness  instead  of  a  prisoner.  When  court  opened 
and  Orr  was  placed  upon  the  witless  stand  a  sense* 
tion  WW  created.  The  defense  attempted  to  prevent 
his  testimony,  but  after  some  skinnishins  bo  r^ted 
the  circumstances  of  the  shooting  and  killing,  in  snb- 
stance  as  follows ; 

He  was  invited  by  Jtilius  Petet  to  have  some  fun. 
He.  together  with  Petet  and  Thompson,  left  <.?eojwe 
Petet's  shortly  after  dark,  and  reached  the  Worth- 
viile  Road  near  the  Gap  Hill  about  10-  o'clock,  and 
there  met  .Toseph  Myriek.  J.  T.  Sullenjrer,  and 
Charles  Gardner.  The  wimle  party  tlien  proceeded 
together  toward  WorthviUe.  at  an  ordinarj*  gait. 
They  all_  had  double-barreled  ahot-guna  except 
Sullenger.  Witness  rode  with  SulTenprr.  who 
informed  him  that  they  were  golnie  to  give  Bill 
AnderKon  a  scare,  so  as  to  run  him  off ;  that 
the  Andersons  had  burned  Joe's  (MyrickVl 
house,  and  that  he  could  not  use  the  ferry  while 
they  were  there,  but  that  there  was  no  intention  to 
commit  violence,  or  to  have  a  diificulty  unlevt  at- 
tacked. They  hitched  Xhnir  horses  at  J>r«n'k  Chapel, 
and  staid  there  about  half  an  hour,  wbon  they  pro- 
ceeded to  Anderson's.  Myriek  took  a  turpentine  ball, 
placed  It  near  the  comer'of  the  house  and  set  ii  ou 
fire.  They  then  heard  a  noise  in  tho  house,  and 
thought  the  Andersons  were  coming,  when,  as  the 
door  opened.  Myriek  fired  his  fruU  in  the  air.  Some 
of  the  others — he  could  not  state  who.  except  that  it 
was  not  SuJIenger — fired  from  behind  them,  and  a 
girl  screamed.  Myriek  exclaimed,  "My  God.  don't 
shoot  any  more,  yon  have  killed  a  woman."  They 
immediately  left.  and.  remounting  their  horses,  r<»de 
in  a  trot  or  pace  to  the  pike  near  Gap  Hill,  wwro 
Gardner  separated  from  them,  going  towrd  Canx>11- 
ton.  The  rest  of  the  x>arty  went  to  Petet's  and  staid 
there  uutU  mnming. 

After  examining  :wveral  other  wltneaaes  the  prof*- 
cution  was  re.idy  to  close,  when  the  defense  uhiained 
the  postponement.  Major  Kinney  sa.i's  there  are 
two  other  prisonen  who  have  signified  their  willing- 
nesE  through  their  friends  to  turn  State's  evidenu« 
and  corroborate  Orr  in  his  statements.

It  does  not  often  occur  that  brothers  lire  Hfi

then  are  brought  together  by  chance.  •A  case  of  this 
kind,  however,  has  just  corns  to  light  in  Cincinnati. 
Dr.  Stark,  who  lives  on  Seventh -street,  near  Vt'alnut.

vows  can  leave  at  the  expimtion  of  the  seven  years 
without  any  ^^olation  of  their  obligation,  but  it  is 
very  rare  to  no  so. 

The  young  ladies  who  took  the  vows  were  Sister

Preparatory  to  the  solemn  dedication  to  religion, 
the  novicea  spent  a  number  of  days  in  a  "retreat." 
during  T.-hic  .  their  spiritual  instructor  was  Rev. 
Francis  Xioholas  Van  Emstede,  of  St.  James*.  Yes- 
terday at  6  A.  M.  high  mass  was  sung  by  the  rev-

some  misdemeanor,  was  chaatiaed  by  his  father. 
Henry  was  S  years  of  age  at  that  time,  and  boy-Uks 
took  the  punishment  so  much  to  heart  that  he  ran  away 
from  home.  No  one  conld  obtain  a  trace  of  the  inis^in:* 
lad.  though  diligent  search  was  ma^le.  Ten  years 
later  hit!  folks  heard  he  was  living  in  Paris  with  a 
family  named  Papenheim.  who  had  adopted  him  and 
were  educating  him  ai  one  of  their  children.  A  few 
years  hiter  all  tra<5S  of  the  runaway  was  again  loat, 
and  when  ihe  elder  Stark  died,  about  nine  vears  agi>, 
hit -widow  found  herseK.  under  the  law  nt  Prussia, 
unable  to  sell  any  of  her  deceased  liusband's  prupertr 
on  aeeount.of  the  lost  son.  Meanwhile  Dr.  Stars  ha<^ 
grown  to  manhood  and  came  to  America—to  Cincin- 
nati, in  fact— and  began  the  practice  of  medicine, 
since  which  time  he  has.  by  his  skill  and  enarg!>-, 
built  up  a  large  business  among  the  Israelites  of  tits 
city.  About  10  months  a^o  lie  fell  in  with  a  gen- 
tleman resident  of  London,  who  was  at  the  time  visit- 
inc;  Cincinnati.  The  two  became  intimate,  and  in  the 
course  of  their  conversation  one  day  the  Engli.siunan 
asked  him  if  he  had  a  brother  living  in  London.  Dr. 
Stark  answered  iu  the  negative.  The  Englishman 
said  that  he  asked  for  the  reason  that  he  knew  a 

ghysician  In  London  who  looked  as  much  like  Dr. 
tark  as  though  they  were  brotiiers.  When  the' 
£n::lishman  went  hack  to  Londou  he  carried  with  him 
a  photograph  of  Dr.  Stark  for  the  purpose  of  showing 
it  to  the  London  phvKiclan.  whom  he  employed  profes- 
sionally in  his  family.  Tliis  physician's  name,  hy  ilia 
way,  was  Henry  Hermaim.  Three  months  ago  Dr.  Her- 


chapel  been  lar^ie  enouzh.     The  ceremony  was  there- 
fore concluded  m  the  cliurch.  wliere  the  congregation 


forth  in  full  his  family  history,  and  among  other 


included  relatives  and  friends  of  the  nuns  and  devo-   '  things  narrated  the  story  of  hia  lost  brother.     By  re- 


tees  of  other  oplers.  including  colored  Sisters  of  St. 
Francis,  parishioners.  &c.  At  9  A.  M.  a  procession 
moved  from  the  convent  to  the  church,  a  nun  lead- 
ing as  cross-beaver,  with  other  nuns  in  blade  carrying 
lisltted  taners  on  either  side  :  little  girls  in  white, 
with  wreaths  of  flowers  on  their  hea<is  and  tapers  in 
their  right  hands,  came  next ;  the  General  Superior, 
novices,  and  friends  following  in  the  procession. 
Those  who  were  about  to  take  the  vows  wore  white 
veils  and  capes,  and  black  gowns,  the  sisters  being 
distinguished  from  them  iu  dres.<)  by  having  black 
veils. 

The  novices  sang  the  Veni  Creator  as  they  ap- 
proached the  :*ltar,  all  the  singing  during  thecere- 
mony  being  by  the  novices  and  nuns.  Tiiey  stood 
within  the  sanctuary  railing,  the  little  girl's  with 
lighted  tapers  in  the  re*ix,  ^*^-  Francis  Schnuttgeu, 
of  St.  Boniface  Church,  Philadelphia,  preached. 

Rev,  Henry  Daueuhauer,  Rector  of  St.  J'ames',  pro- 
pounded the  usual  questions,  receiving  the  response 
of  the  novices  that  their  desire  was  to  take  the  vows 
of  poverty,  obedience,  chastity,  and  diligence  in 
teaching,  that  they  had  full  knowledge  of  the  step 
they  were  taking,  and  they  intended  to  persevere  in 
it.  The  priest  then  gave  each  a  lighted  candle  which 
had  been  blessed,  and  said  the  prayers  forthe  service. 
The  Suscipe  uu.  Doinitte^  was  sung  by  tho  novices 
three  times,  each  time  with  raised  voices,  as  an  offer- 
ing of  themselves  to  <.»od. 

The  vows  wore  received  by  the  General  Superior, 
Rev.  Mother  Theophila.  They  advanced  one  by  one 
to  the  front  of  the  altar,  where  the  white  veil  was  re- 


turn mail  he  received  a  letter  from  Dr.  Hermann,  in 
which  he  stated  that  he  was  the  lost  Irrotber,  and  thaS 
he  would  immediately  visit  his  mother  in  Prussia. 
Tliat  visit  has  been  made,  and  he  is  now  en  route  tm 
this  coiuitry  on  a  visit  to  Dr.  Stark. 


THE  EOMAXCE  OF  REAL  LIFE. 

The  White  Pine  (Xev.)  Xews  tells  this  littl* 
story:  "Every  traveler  who  during  the  past  six 
years  has  rode  over  the  route  leadii^  from  Hunter- 
toward  the  eastern  portion  of  White  Pine  County 
has  noticed  during  the  Summer  months  the  well- 
cultivated  garden  ou  Murray  Creek,  which  beautifal 
stream  flows  into  Steptoo  Valley.  Generally  a  Uttie, 
old,  drie^-up  Frenchman  could  be  seen  woddng  ia 
the  garden  late  and  early,  who  could  talk  no  language 
intelligible  to  any  one.  and  to  whom  no  commission 
of  lunacy  would  refuse  a  diploma  to  Woodbridge.  He 
had  squatted  on  about  two  acre?  of  land  and  ineloeed 
it  with  a  neat  and  close  sagebrash  fence,  built  there- 
on a  little  stone  hut.  fumishod  with  little  roun*! 
port-holes  near  the  roof.  Tlie  land  belonged  to  « 
neighboring  farmer,  but  as  the  little  old  Fren'^hman. 
was  inoffensive  and  did  the  farmer  no  material  in- 
jtiry.  he  wa«  allowed  to  cultivate  his  garden  year 
after  year  unmolested.  Wneu  travelers  or  resident* 
of  the  neighboring  town  of  Mineral  City  wanted 
two  bitJt'  or  '  six 


,  vegetables  the  old  man  understood 
moved  and  the  black    veil    put    on,  the  young  sister  I  bits."  and  furnished  the  crispeat   of  lettuce   and  tha 

kneeling,  the  clergyman  conducting  the  service  read-   ;  most  succulent  redi^hes  in  exchange.      "     " 


ing  prayers,  and  the  Mother  Superior  and  sisters 
changing  the  robe.  Over  the  black  veil  a  ciown  of 
thorns,  in  which  a  few  flowers  and  twigs  of  myrtle 
were  intertwined,  was  wdm  by  the  young  sisters. 
The  veils  and  crowns  lay  at  band  on  *a  tray  on  the 
altar,  and  were  bleKsed  by  Rev.  Father  Dauenbauer 
as  eich  sister  was  endued  wit.h  the  symbols. 

Rtv.  Fathers  Lyman,  of  Govanstowu;  Tripplerand 
Golb.  of  Ilchesier.  assisted  in  the  services.  Eev. 
Father  Van  Emstede  twing  Master  of  Ceremonies. 

The  newly-received  nun.  when  veiltd  and  crowned, 
slowly  glided  back  to  her  place  with  hands  clasped  in 
prayer  and  eyes  seeking  the  floor,  while  was  heard 
the  low.  sweet  singing,  with  organ  aeeompaniment. 
of  the  Posuit,  or  Bridal  Song  of  Heaven.  When  all 
had  returned  to  their  places  in  front  of  the  altar,  the 
inliT-  blackness  of  the  still  forms  in  place  of  the  snowy 
whiteness,  which  had  given  some  variety  of  coloring 
to  the  scene  a  few  minutes  before,  assisted  to  increaae 
the  feeling  of  awe  In  the  assemblage.  Suddenly, 
every  black  form  fell  prone  upon  the  sanctuary  floor 
on  the  face,  and  in  another  instant  the  large  black 
pall  was  drawn  over  the  prostrate  devotees,  shroud- 
ing them  from  sight.  The  priest  read  the  "burial 
service,  and  the  other  sisters  sang  the  SSortua 
Gstis.  The  pall  was  deftly  removed,  and  ^e  young 
nuns  arose,  remainine  for  somo  minutes  on  their 
knees  in  prayer.  The  benediction  was  sung  by  Rev. 
Father  Dauenbaner,  and  at  its  close  the  proceeaion 
waa  reformed,  only  black  veils  having  replaced  the 
white  ones,  and  returned  to  the  convent. 


FUXERAh  OF  JOHS  E.  DAZLET. 
The  Xew-Haven  Journal  of  Monday  gives  the 
following  accotint  of  the  funeral  of  one  of  the  victims 
of  the  San  Francisco  tragedy :  "  The  funeral  of  John 
E.  Dailey,  vesterday  afternoon,  from  the  family  resi- 
dence in  Olive-street,  was  a  remarkable  demonstra- 
tion of  the  respect  entertained  for  the  deceased,  as 
well  as  sympathy  for  his  bereaved  relatives.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  many  personal  friends  in  attendance 
there  was  a  lung  procession,  consisting  of  tbe 
Veteran  Gravs  Association,  of  which  Mr.  Dailey  was 
a  member :  the  active  members  of  the  Grays,  and  the 

officers  and  members  of  Hi  am  Lodge  of  Freemasons,  ^       .     ,.  .   - 

the  10  bearers  being  five  from  the  military  and  five  j  part  in  the"  pleasures  of  the  outside  world.    It  is 


And  so  year 
after  vear  passed  away,  and  the  "  little  crazy  Freaeh- 
nian'  became  a  fixture  on  Murray  Creek.  Bat  a  few 
months  ago  a  terrible  tragedy  orrurred  at  Mineral 
City,  a  few  miles  this  side  of  the  two-acre  farm  of 
'little  Frenchv,'  and,  after  he  had  seen  a  num- 
ber of  excited  men  pass  from  W.ird  and  <ither 
points  in  bnggies  and  on  horseback,  and.  i:ot  an~ 
derstanding  what  this  wild  commotion  meant,  had 
finallv  ventured  up  the  road  to  town,  be  thera 
saw  tne  cause  of  all  "the  excitement,  which  was  no 
less  than  the  ghastly  corpse  of  Matt  Gleeson.  who 
had  that  day  been  cruelly  murdered  by  John  Roach., 
Gleeson.  during  his  lifetime,  had  do-ie  some  Idnd  act; 
that  endeared  him  to  the  little  Frenchman,  and  when 
he  beheld  his  dead  body  he  grew  wild  and  demons 
fitralive  at  the  sight,  and  after  droppinj;.on  his  knees 
and  uttering  some  mysterious  incantations  over  the 
lifeless  body  of  his  former  frierd.  he  departed  from 
the  house,  and  from  that  niomcnl  has  not  been  sef^n 
or  heard  of.  The  little  two-acre  farm  bus  gone  to 
ruin,  and  owls  and  bats  inhabit  the  little  stone  hut, 
but  where  the  little  crary  Frenchman  has  drifted  to. 
r.o  one  knows. "  ^ 

mSAPPEAEAXCE  OF  A  SISTER  OF  MERCT. 
The  Albany  Express  of  Monday  has  the  fol- 
lowing in  ref:>rence  to  the  mysterious  disappeaTanco 
of  Sister  La  Salle,  of  the  Convent  of  Mercy,  at  Green- 
bush,  on  the  evening  of  Monday,  13th  inat.:  "On. 
the  hilL  in  the  vicinity  of  St.  John's  Catholic  Cliurch, 
there  Is  located  a  Catholic  educitional  instittition,] 
known  a-s  the  Convent  of  the  Sisters  of  Merry. 
Among  the  sisters  wbo  make  their  home  in  the  con- 
vent there  is,  or  rather  was  until  the  beginning  oC 
last  week,  one  whose  name  could  not  be  learned,  but 
who  is  said  to  be  young  and  of  prcposses.siug  appear- 
ance. She  grew  up  from  a  child  as  a  Prote.stunt,  but; 
Vas  converted  to  the  Catholic  faith  about  eight  ream 
since,  and  has  for  several  years  been  a  Sister  of' 
Mercy  in  the  ronvent  at  Greenbush.  The  irk<nnia 
duties  of  the  life  which  she  had  voluntarily  adopted, 
OS  Is  supposed,  grsdtialiy  became  dinasteful  to  her, 
and  she  longincly  .ilghed  to  again  encounter  abd  talcs 


from  the  Masonic  organization.  Services  'were  held 
at  the  house.  Rev.  Mr.  Meserve  officiating. '  The  cas- 
ket was  made  of  Iron,  in  the  highest  style  of  work 
manship.  end  weighed,  with  the  remains,  780 
pounds.  It  was  of  elaborate  construction,  having 
a  heavy  plate-glass  in  the  top.  which  was  protected 
by  an  iron  covering.  Many  fioral  offerings  attested  the 
friendship  felt  for  the  deceased,  and  some  of  these 


thought,  however,  that  a  second  person,  whose  identi- 
ty as  yet  haa  not  been  made  known,  took  au  article 
part,  m  bringing  the  young  and  attractive  Sister  to 
this  conclusion.  Certain  it  is.  however,  that  she 
disappeared  from  the  convent  last  Monday  night, 
and  no  traee  of  her  whereabouts  h«B  as  vet  been 
discovered,  or.  if  sn.  those  who  know  of  her  keep 
their  knowledge  to  themselvea.      Those  who  art*  ia- 


were  auperb  In  design   and  richneRs.       The  Veteran,    |  terested  in   the  matter  do  not  apprehend  that  any-

BANKS— AN  DJCEEASB  IN    SCEPLCS  ~lST> 
DKPOSITS. 

Albant,  Aug.  20.— Following  are  the  re- 
maining seven  reports  of  the  Brooklyn  savings 
Iwnka,  together  with  a  eompantlTe  table  show- 
ing the  aggngate  amounts  reported  nnder  the 
several  heads  for  Jan.  1  and  July  1.  1877. 
The  baulcs  show  a  decline  in  mortsage  loans,  an 
Increase  in  stock  investments,  am  a  decided 
falling  off  in  the  amounts  loaned  on  stocks. 
The  increase  in  other  real  estate  is  dne  to  the 
Tsrlous  banks  bidding  In  property  sold  by  them 
under  foreclosnre.  The  deposits  are  over 
$1,500,000  In  excess  of  the  amount  reported 
Jan.  1.  A  gain  of  nearly  3,000  is  shown  in 
open  accounts.  The  surplus  has  increased  $38^ 
657.  The  expenses  of  conducting  the  busi- 
ness of  the  banks  of  Brooklyn  for  the  past  six 
months  were  $119,166.  The  number  of  banks 
In  operation  is  18.  Among  the  reports  given 
below  it  will  be  noticed  that  one  bank  (the 
Bnahwick)  reports  a  deficiency  in  assets  to  the 
•mount  of  $272  15.  The  officers  of  the  bank 
were  notified  that  the  deficiency  must  be  made 
good.  In  answer,  the  President,  Joseph  Ldeb- 
mann,  stated  that  he  had  already  secured  con- 
tributions from  the  Trustees  to  the  amount  of 
$850,  and  that  it  is  their  intention  to  increase 
tbe  amount  to  $2,0O0,  which  sum  will  again 
place  the  institution  in  a  sound  financial  condi- 
tion. The  deficiency  was  caused  by  an  unfor- 
tunate investment  in  government  bonds  by 
-•Uch  the  bank  lost  $1,200.

SABTFORUS  HEAVY  STOEM, 


EFFECTS  OF  THE  LIGHTXIXG  AXD  THE  RAIN 
ON  SATURDAY  AFTERNOON — DA31AGE  TO 
TREES — CELLARS   FLOODED. 

Trom  the  Hartford  Courant,  Aug.  20. 
The  storm  of  Saturday  aftemooa,  considering 
its  duration,  was  the  mo~t  po'verful  of  any  uphlch 
has  occurred  here  in  many  years.  A  gentleman  who 
has  lived  in  Hartford  for  45  years  says  lie  has  aeen 
nothing  like  it  here.  The  great  storm  in  the  Fall  of 
1869,  irMeh  produced  a  damaging  rain-flood  all  orer 
thft  State,  breaking  away  dams  and  washing  away 
railway  embankments,  lasted  longer,  and  In  1867  the 
rain  which  carried  off  the  dam  at  West  Hartford  was 
powerful  in  the  extreme,  bat  the  storm  and  its  ac- 
companiments were  not  so  severe  as  this  one.  Tak- 
ing everything  into  account — volume  of  water,  ve- 
locity of  wind,  sharpness  of  thunder,  and  vivid- 
neu  of  lightning— neither  of  these  storms  was  so 
terrific,  though  vastly  more  damaging  to  prop.- 
erty.  It  began  raining  about  1  o'clock,  and  for 
over  an  hour  the  rain  fell  in  solid  sheets  almost 
without  interruption.  The  wind  blew  the  lai^e  fail- 
ing drops  into  a  dense  mist,  so  that  it  was  hardly  pos- 
sible to  distinguish  objects  at  any  great  distance. 
The  lightning  was  close  at  hand  even-where  appar- 
ently. One  terrible  shock  seemed  to  be  present  all 
over  the  city,  and  to  different  people  had  the  appear- 
ance and  sound  of  a  bomb-shell  explosion  near  by, 
though  observed  and  feh  in  places  wuiely  apart  and 
scattered.  While  in  every  portion  of  the  "city  thefnry 
of  the  storm  extended,yet  there  was  evidently  a  belt  of 
territory  peculiarly  covered  by  whirlwind.  The 
course  of  this  damaging  corrent  was  about  in  the  line 
of  Ann-street,  and  in  a  straight  line  across  the  park, 
through  West  and  Hudson  streets  to  the  south  part  of 
the  city.  Trees  were  damaged  in  Ann-street,ana  some 
blown  down.  On  the  park. 'one  tree  of  fair  size  was 
torn  up  by  the  roots,  and  others  were  stripped  of 
branches.  On  Elm-street,  in  the  vicinity  of  Daniel's 
mills,  there  was  damage  to  shrubbery  and  vines,  and 
at  Mr.  Thomas  Skinner's  place.  No.  43  Elm,  a 
large  and  valuable  apple  tr<»e,  containing  aev- 
eral  bushels  of  fruit,  was  knocked  over.  A 
gentleman  who  was  on  West-street  describes  the  ap- 

g roach  of  the  tornado  as  occupinc  a  limited  space  and 
aving  the  appearance  of  a  solid  black  cloud,  it 
moved  with  great  rnpidity.  having  a  whirling  motion, 
and  as  it  passed  him  enveloped  everything;  in  dark- 
ness. It  seemed  to  him  as  if  it  would  tear  down 
houses,  but  when  he  saw  that  only  his  scuttle  was 
gone  he  felt  relieved,  and  was  also  gratiHed  to  find 
himself  inhabiting  the  earth.  In  Hudson-street  and 
in  other  parts  of  that  section  cellars  were  flooded 
with  water.  On  College,  Buckingham,  and  Park 
streets  fallen  limbs  were  common  sights.  Off  from 
Jefferson-street  a  large  pond  formed  a^  did  one  in 
the  east  park,  where  scores  of  boys  were  wading  in 
a  i>ool  100  feet  in  diameter  after  the  storm  cleared 
away.  In  aU  business  parts  of  the  city  awnings  were 
stripped  from  their  fastenings  and  signs  were  un- 
loosened, and  in  other  sections  chimneys,  scuttles, 
and^  window-blinds  Buffered  more  or  less. 

The  house  of  Gen.  Ij.  A.  Dickinson,  comer  6f  Can- 
ton anid  Bellevue  streets,  was  strttck  by  lightning, 
the  fluid  hitting  the  comer  of  the  chimney  and  tear- 
ing off  a  brick  or  two,  and  splitting  the  chimney  so 
tlut  it  will  need  rebuilding :  then  it  passed  nnder  the 
tin  roofing  to  a  point  20  feet  off,  where  it  penetrated 
the  roof  and  passed  into  an  attic  room.  There  was 
only  a  small  hole  visible  in  the  ceiling  of  tbia  room 
where  it  entered-  As  it  came  out  it  struck  on  the 
corner  of  a  square  picture-frame,  loosening  the  joints 
on  one  side  and  blackening  the  frame,  and  tearing  off 
a  small  piece  of  the  mahogony  and  forcintr  it  out.  of 
the  room  into  a  hallway  15  feet  away.  Ventilators 
in  the  chimneys  in  two  rooms  wero'blown  out,  one 
of  them  having  Its  solder  fastenings  melted.  In  s 
bedroom  on  the  second  Hoor  the  lightning  made  a 
hole  in  the  ceiling  similar  to  the  one  in  the  ftttic 
room.  It  ia  singular  how  it  should  reach  these  two 
points  in  different  parts  of  the  hotise,  but  it  Is 
too  deep  a  subject  for  inquiry.  Stranger  still, 
the  fluid  got  into  the  other  part  of  the  house,  which 
Is  a  douwo  one  with  brick  partition  wall,  and  sud- 
denly made  its  appearance  up  through  the  sink 
Stout,' and  scattered  wood  splinters  m>m  the  sink 
1  about,  much  to  the  surpn.se  of  Mrs.  Bockwell, 
Tvife  of  Benjamin  D.  Rockwell,  who  lives  there,  as 
she  was  jujst  in  the  act  of  exploring  the  stove-oven, 
where  baking  was  in  progress.  A  boarder  in  the 
third  story  was  sitting  in  a  rocking-chair  leanini 
backward  when  the  "  stirprise  party  **  arrived,  and 
he  describes  the  sensation  as  that  of  some  one  giv- 
ing him  a  terrific  rap  on  the  back  of  the  neck.  AU 
the  occupants  of  the  house  felt  the  shocK,  and  were 
more  or  less  affected  by  it.  Ihiring  the  storm  the 
ligbtning  bJso  entered  a  house  en  Hopkins-street,  oc- 
cupiedby  Conductor  Stone,  of  the  Consolidated 
Road,  teoxing  off  the  plaster  in  the  bath-room,  twist- 
ing th*  gas-pipe,  ana  demolishing  things  generally, 
but  fortunately  no  one  wos  Injured. 

A  gentleman  who  was  on  the  park  and  sought  shel- 
ter In  the  terrace  tomb,  says  there  was  a  "  twist  "  In 
the  wind  at  that  point  which  seized  large  btislies 
and  wound  them  up  like  whip-cords.  The  storm 
seems  to  have  been  limited  in  extent.  A  few  miles 
out  of  Hiutford  nothing  was  known  about  it.

The  St.  Louis  S^ublican  of  Friday  says:

HIS  DOtJB^iE  PUBSXnr  AND  HIS  DOtTBLING  ON 
THE  PUBSDIT  OP  THE  SHERIFF'S  OFFICERS 
— HIS  STORY  AND  TEtAT  OP  HIS  WIFE, 

Edward  Curry,  Jr.,  is  a  young  man  who,  as 
his  name  would  imply,  has  something  to  do  with 
horses,  he  following  the  calling  of  a  licensed  vender, 
and  having  been  likewise  interested  In  races  on  the 
turf.  Though  each  of  these  avocations  lias  been  snf- 
fide&t,  at  times,  to  anconnt  for  a  man's  presence  be- 
hind prison  bars,  yet  in  the  praaent  instance  both  are 
not  adequate  to  explain  why  Mr.  Curry  should  be 
spending  ids  Summer  at  Ludlow-Street  Jail.  Mr. 
Curry  himself  sheds  some  lisht  on  the  subject  in  a 
petition  presented  to  Judge  Vau  Brant,  in  Supreme 
Court,  Chambers,  yesterday.  From  this  it  appears  that 
Mr.  Curry  is  suing  his  wife,  Jennie,  for  a  divorce  on 
the  ground  of  her  faithlessness  to  her  marriage  vows. 
He  says  that  she  made  application  to  the  court,  in 
1875,  for  alimony,  and  counsel  fee,  and  was  awarded 
no  alimony,  but  was  given  $75  counsel  fee.  In 
March,  1870,  she  again  applied  for  alimony  and 
counsel  fee,  and  a  reference  was  then  ordered  The 
Referee  awarded  her  $5  a  week  as  alimony,  and  $75 
as  additional  counsel  fee-  Mr.  Curry  says  his  busi- 
ness is  that  of  a  licensed  vender,  peddling  fruit.  &c., 
but  that  he  has  been  unable  to  work  during  the  past 
two  years,  in  consequence  of  sickness.  Ow- 
ing to  this  he  has  been  unable  to  pay  alimony 
and  counsel  fee  to  Ms  wife,  and  he  was,  therefore, 
arrested  on  the  7th  inst.,  on  an  attach- 
ment, for  contempt  of  court  in  not  making 
the  necessary  payments.  As  an  addendum  to  his  pe- 
tition Mr.  Curry  says  his  wife  is  '*  a  vicious  woman  " 
who  has  been  recently  dischai^ed  from  the  Peniten- 
tiar>',  whither  she  was  sent  for  committing  an  assault 
and  battety  on  a  man.  For  all  these  reasons  Mr. 
Curry  applied  to  be  diseharged  from  imprisonment. 

In  opposition  to  his  application  the  defendant's 
counsel  put  in  -an  i^davit  stating  that  the  action 
was  begun  Nov.  14,  187<4,  and  that  since  that  time 
the  plaintiff  has  taken  no  steps  to  advance  the 
cause.  Mr.  Curry,  he  says,  only  complied  partially 
witli  the  first  order  of  the  court  for  the  payment  of 
counsel  fee,  and  then  only  after  being  attached  for 
contempt.  The  counsel  also  says  that  Mr.  Ctirryis 
worth  over  $G.0OO,  and  has  oeen  endeavoring  to 
avoid  the  service  of  process  in  the  suit. 

Airs.  Currv  made  an  affidavit  in  which^  she  says 
that  her  husband,  ever  since  December,  1875,  lias 
been  avoiding  arrest.  She  says  he  used  to  conceal 
himself  adroitly  to  perplex  the  Sheriff's  officers,  and 
that  he  made  his  escape  from  thdm  sometimes  by 
going  through  bock  yards  and  windows  snd  by  leav- 
ing the  City.  She  says  that  he  has  not  Ijeen  unem- 
ployed during  the  past  two  years  and  that  he  was 
not  sick.  He  is  a  man  of  only  34  years  of  age  and  is 
of  Mbust  frame.  Mrs.  Curry  says  he  is  a  sporting 
man  and  frequents  race  courses,  spending  money  on 
fast  women,  &c.  She  says  she  is  in  ver^  poor 
health  and  is  unable  to  do  any  work.  Her 
husband,  she  tayi,  is  the  owner  of  a  hou-se 
on  First-avenue  which  is  worth  $10,000,  and  which  i 
is  mortgaged  for  only  $3,500.  In  regard  to  thd  as-  . 
sault  aud  battery 'matter,  Mrs.  Curry  explains  that  1 
she  only  thrashed  a  man  who  slandered  her.  The 
slanders,  she  believes,  were  spread  by  her  husband. 
Jnd^  Van  Brunt,  in  his  decision,  said  :  "It  seems 
that  the  Referee.  In  fixing  the  amoant  of  nUmony, 
must  have  taken  into  consideration  nil  the  facts  and 
circumstances  stated  in  the  mo\"ing  affidavits.  The 
motion  must  be  denied." 

^-V  ACTIOX  TO  AyXUL  A  21ARR1AGE. 
The  suit  of  Eagene  B.  FaircMld  against  Hen- 
rietta Fairchlld  was  before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  In  Su- 
preme Court,  Chambers,  j-esterday.  on  a  motion  by 
the  defendant  for  alimony  aud  counsel  fee.  The  suit 
Is  brought  to  annul  a  marriage  between  the  parties 
on  the  ground  that  at  the  time  it  was  entered  Into 
the  defendant  was  disqualified  from  being  one  of  the 
contracting  parties.  The  plaintiff  says  she  told  him 
that  she  had  been  twice  married  previously.  Her 
first  husband,  she  said,  was  one  Willium  J.  Walker, 
and  her  second  was  one  Christopher  3IcCosky.  She 
told  the  plaintiff  she  had  in  turn  obtained  a 
divorce  from  each  on  the  ground  of  bis  marital  Infi- 
delity, the  decree  in  ea^h  in<*tance  giving  her  the  right 
to  marry  again.  The  plaintiff  saj's  that  he  found  oat 
aftervvttrd  that  the  defendant  was  married  to  Walker 
In  lb02.  and  tliat  in  May.  1807.  the  latter  obtuuied 
an  absolute  divorce  from  her  on  the  ground  of  lior 
adulten*.  By  the  decree  of  divorce  she  wos  pro- 
hibited from  marrying  during  Walker's  lifetime.  In 
spite  of  the  pn»hibition,  however.  sht?married  McCos- 
ky  in  1 808.  while  Walker  was  livio<r.  Four  years 
later  she  obtained  a  divorc™  from  McCosky.  The  de- 
fendant put  in  an  answer  denying  that  she  b.id  made 
any  false  represeutatiotm  to  the  plaintiff  as 
to  her  previous  marriages.  She  averred 
that  Walker,  after  procviring  a  divorce  from 
her,  lett  this  State  and  went  to  Central  Amer- 
ica, where  he  died.  She  had  not  henrd  from  him  for 
five  years  prior  to  her  marriage  to  the  plaintiff,  and 
believed  'V\  alker  to  be  dead.  The  case  was  sent  fi>r 
trial  l)^ fore  a  lieferee,  and  wliite  I*.  wa.s  being  tried 
the  plaintiff  discovered  that  Walker  Is  still  living  in 
New-Hampshire,  where  he  had  been  married  to  the 
defendant.  A  commission  was  thereupon  issued  to 
take  Walker's  testimony,  ana  the  defendant  tlien 
made  her  motion  for  alimony  qnd  counsel  fee.  Judge 
Van  Brunt,  in  taking  the  pai>crs,  intimated  that  he 
would  award  a  counsel  fee.  but  no  alimony.  The 
plaintiffs  counaei  then  insisted  that,  a-*  tlie  case  was 
not  one  for  divorce,  the  marriage  havins:  been  void 
from  the  beginning,  no  counsel  fee  should  be  given. 
Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  reply,  remarked,  "It  Is  the 
unfortunate  condition  of  any  man  who  marries  a 
woman  he  desires  to  get  rid  of  that  he  must  pay  her 
counsel."

TBE  ADVICE  OF  OPl'OSIXG  COVXSEL. 

The  suit  pf  Augnste  Muller  and  others  again.«t 
Charles  Struppman,  Thomas  H.  Young,  and  others, 
was  before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court,  Cham- 
bers, yesterday,  on  a  rather  singular  application 
made  by  the  defendant  Young.  The  suit  is  brought 
for  the  partition  of  tlic  estate  of  the  late  Adam  Mul- 
ler, deceased,  and  Young  claims  his  intere.<(t  amounts 
to  about  $2,500.  In  an  affidavit  presented  to  the 
court  yesterday  he  stated  that  he  appeared  In  the 
action  by  his  attorney,  'Wilson  a.  Wolf.  The 
latter  drafted  nn  answer  for  him.  which  Young 
copied.  Young  took  the  same  to  th^offlco  of  Oeorge 
F.  LaTizbeln.  the  nliuntiff's  attorney,  m  order  to  serve 
it.  Langbein,  he  says,  informed  him  ttiat  it  was  tise- 
less  for  him  to  put  In  an  answer,  as  hli*  interest**  would 
be  protected  without  it,  and  advised  him  to  take  back 
the  answer  and  destroy  it.  Young  says  that  acting 
on  this  advice  he  did  destroy  the  answer,  but  did  not 
inform  his  attorney  of  it.  The  case  was  subsequent- 
ly secit  ijeforo  a  Referee,  and  there  the  plaintiffs* 
counsel  endeavored  to  exclude  Youug  and  his  attorney 
from  proving  the  former's  claim.  Young  applied 
therefore  to  h.ive  the  default  acainst  him  set  aside 
and  to  be  allowed  a  reasonable  time  to  serve  his 
answer.  In  opposition  to  tlie  motion,  ilr,  lisngbein 
urged  that  Young's  answer  a^t  originally  presented 
was  a  ridiculous  one,  and  that  Young's  inten'Sta  were 
fully  protected  in  othor  proceeding!*  had  in  the 
Superior  Court.  Mr.  Lan^jfuein  also  objected  on  the 
ground  that  it  did  not  appear  when  Youiiii's  counsel 
was  informed  of  the  destruction  of  the  answer,  and 
because  the  counsel  himself  made  no  afBdavit.  Judge 
Van  Brtmt  took  the  pai«rs,  reserving  his  decision, 
though  he  vacated  a  stay  obtained  by  Young,  whidi 
prevented  the  proceedings  from  going  on  before  the 
Referee.  ^  -

room presented  a  sinzular  spectacle  yesterday  morn- 
ing. There  were  Chin'amen  with  "pigtails"  and 
Chinamen  without  "  pigtails,'.'  and  Spaniards,  and 
Germans,  allchaiged  with  peddling  unstamped  cigars 
from  stands  on  the  street.  These  peddlers  are  in  the 
habit  of  selling  cigars  st"  lower  prices 
than  they  can  bo  obtain^  in  cigar  stores,  and  several 
of  the  proprietors  of  the  latter  called  Deputy  Inter- 
nal Revenue  Collector  Hawley's  attention  to  tho 
matter,  and  he  obtained  warrants  from  Commis- 
sioner Shields  for  the  arrest  of  the  accused.  The

man,  on  West-street ;  Charles  Schmidt,  and  Louis 
ITriedly,  on  Broadway,  and  Adam  Wolf,  on  Warren- 
street,  all  Germans.  The  Chinamen  took  the 
matter  philosophically,  and  their,  almond  eyes 
twinkled  as  they  laughed  at  the  many 
jokes  which  were  cracked  at  their  expense. 
All  except  Rin.n.ldo,  Manello,  and  Coligee.  who  were 
released  on  their  own  recognizances,  were  required

ner  to  sue  William  J.  Best,  the  Receiver  of  the  Ger-

this  nntil  after  the  bank  had  failed.  She  applied  im- 
mediately to  the  Receiver  to  have  him  give  her  the

A  LIVELY  CBASE  AFTER  A  TBIEF. 
The  vicinity  cf  Catharine  and  Oliver  streets 
*Pns  the  scene  of  considerable  excitement  yesterday 
afternoon.  In  the  liquor  store  at  the  comer  of 
Catharine  and  Oak  streets,  Lonis  Verger  and  James 
Eigger.'ofNo.  42  Hamilton-street,  both  sailors,  had 
been  drinking.  In  the  course  of  conversation  Rigger 
remarked  that  he  had  never  seen  an  American 
$20  gold  piece.  Verger  said  that  ha  would 
show  htm  one,  and  immediately  pulled 
out    his  pocket-book,  which  contained    three   $20 

S»ld  pieces  and  handed  one  of  them  to  Rigger.  The 
tter  was  so  overjoyed  at  seeing  a  genuine  $20 
cold  piece  that  he  asked  Vercer  to  have  another 
drink.  Verger,  not  thinking  that  the  fellow  was  a 
"sharper,"  foolishly  thmed  his  back  to  look  at  a 
clock  to  see  what  time  it  was,  and  Riager,  perceiving 
a  favorable  opportunity,  darted  out  the  door,  closely 
fallowed  by  the  innocent  Prenchmnn.  shouting, 
"  Police,  mnrder."  &c.  Officer  John  Fleming,  of  the 
Fourth  Precinct,  who  was  about  a  block  away  at  the 
time,  on  seeing  the  two  men  rtL<;h  out  of 
the  liquor  store,  and- hearing  cHes  of  "Stop  thief." 
gave  hot  pnxsnit.  Rigger  bad  not  gone  more  than 
two  or  three  blocks  when  he  was  followed  by  an  im- 
mense crowd  crying  "  Stop  thief!"  "Go  in  officer !" 
Tlie  thief  ran  down  Oak-street  to  Oliver,  up  Oliver 
to  Madison,  still  closely  pursued  by  the  ofOcer  and  a 
.owd  of  men.  women,  and  children ;  through 
Madison-street  to  Catharine.  down  Catha- 
rine to  Hamilton.  and  through  Hamilton 
to  Market,  where  the  officer,  ofter  an 
exciting  chase,  captured  him.  Just  previous  to 
Rigger's  arrest  by  Officer  Fleming.  Officer  Court- 
lander,  of  the  same  precinct,  joined  in  the  chase. 
When  brought  to  the  station-houso  he  denied  his 

failt.  He  was  searched,  but  nothing  was  found  in 
is  pockets  except  a  revolver.  'When  sjjeakinc, 
Fleming  noticed  a  curious  twist  in  the  prisoner's 
lower  jaw,  and  thought  probably  that  he  might  have 
the  coin  concealed  in  the  cavity  of  his  mouth.  Tho 
ofBcer  accordingly  attempted  to  open  Rigger's  mouth, 
but  the  latter  would  not  allow  him.  The  former  re- 
solved on  another  exp»edient,  which  proved  quite  sue- 
cessfuL  Ofdcer  Courtlander  held  the  man's  head 
while  Fleming  inserted  his  "billy"  to  keep  the  fel- 
low's month  open,  and  then  put  in  his  fingers  and  ex- 
tracted the  coin.  The  prisoner  was  brought  before 
Justice  Dn^  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court  and  was 
held  in  $300  biul  to  answer. 


A  SXEAK-TBIBF  SBXTEXCED. 
On  July  14  a  sneak-thief  called  at  the  resi- 
dence of  Dr.  M-  B.  Early,  No.  82  Macdongalstreet. 
and  said  that  he  wanted  to  consult  the  Doctor.  Dr. 
Early  being  ont,  the  servant  invited  him  into  the 
office  to  await  his  arrival  After  waiting  about  15 
minutes  the  protended  patient  left,  saying  he  could 
stay  no  longer,  and  when  the  Doctor  returned  he 
fonnd  that  a  case  of  sureical  instruments  valued  nt 
$70  had  been  stolen.  The  thief  was  subseouently 
arrested  and  Identified  as  a  professional  He  gave 
bis  u&me  as  Edward  L.  Sanford,  his  address  as  the 
Van  I)yke  House,  on  the  Boweiy,  aud  his 
business    «•    that    of    apothecary.      The    thief   was 

g laced  on  trial  before  Judse  Sutherland,  in  Qeneral 
essions,  yesterday,  and  promptly  found  gnilty,  the 
evidence  a^inst  Idm  being  conclusive.  Mr.  Wil- 
liam F.*Kintring,  who  defended  the  prisoner, 
stated  that  he  was  a  victim  tn  the  excessive  use 
of  opiates,  and  asked  that  his  physical 
condition  be  inquired  into.  The  accused  had  all  the 
appearance  of  being  wiiat  his  coansel  represented, 
but  notwithstanding  this  fact  he  is  known  to  tlve 
Police  as  an  incorrigible  sneak-thief,  against  whom 
several  complaints  have  been  made.  When  asked 
what  he  had  to  say  why  judgment  should  not  be  pro- 
nounced acainst  him,  the  prisoner  pretended  that  he 
was  laboring  under  the  impression  that  he  had  been 
tried  for  murder  in  the  first  deeroe.  and  a-sked  tliat  he 
be  haneed  or  Rhot.  Judge  Sutherland  did  not  comply 
with  the  request  of  the  prisoner,  but  sent  him  for 
one  year  to  the  Penitentiary,  where  his  Hoiior  said 
his  physical  condition  would  promptly  be  ascertained. 

BOXORABLT  DISCBARGED. 
A  few  weeks  ago,  Henry  Rosenblatt,  a  grocer 
at  No.  34  East  Broadway,  was  arrested  and  com- 
mitted to  Ludlow-Street  Jail  on  a  charge  of  passing 
counterfeit  25-ceat  coins.  He  said  he  got  them  from 
a  man,  who.  from  his  description,  was  supposed  to  be 
Israel  Bloom,  a  dealer  In  hosiery  at  No,  40  Vesey- 
strect,  and  Bloom  was  arrested  on  last  Saturdav  and 
held  bv  Commissioner  Shields  for  an  examination 
vesterday.when  Rosenblatt  ut  erly  failed  to  identify 
liim.  and  he  was  honorably  dischantwl.  the  Commis- 
sioner saying  that  a  mi!!:take  hod  evidently  been  m:tile. 
Bloom's  wife,  son,  and  daughter  were  present  yester- 
day, aud  gave  uumistatable  signs  of  joy  at  iiis  libera- 
tion.

the  allegations  or  the  moving  affidavits  in  reopect  to  eor-

The  Signal  Service  reporU  indicate  for  to- 
day in  the  Middle  States  and  Xew-England, 
risiJig  foUoived  by  falling  barometer,  slightly 
Karmer,  clear  of^  partly  cloudy  weather,

occasional  local  rains. 


The  policy  of  President  Hates  is  decid- 
edly unpopular  with  the  Kepuhlieans  of 
XeW-Jersey,  so  far  at  least  as  they  are  rep- 
resented on  the  State  Central  Committee. 
Tuis  is  hardly  a,  valid  reason,  however,  for 
staving  off  the  date  of  the  State  Con- 
vention fur  no  better  apparent  rea- 
son than  to  take  advantage  of  the 
blunder.^  of  the  other  side.  When  the 
Eeijublican  Party  tries  to  make  its  way  on 
a  general  policy  of  negation,  it  is  extremely 
likely  to  fall  to  pieces.  The  pirty  has 
certain  affirmative  principles  which  it  is 
bound  to  see  carried  into  practice,  and  the 
President  is  at  present  the  most  potential 
agent  in  that  work.  So  far  as  his  policy  is 
&  cfompleted  and  irrevocable  act,  the 
Republicans  of  New- Jersey  or  elsewhere 
ca,"a  very  well  afford  to  leave  it  alone.  So 
fUr  as  it  consists  in  earnest  and  honest 
offort.s  for  the  reformation  of  the  public 
'serviee,  the  maintenance  of  the  national 
credit,  and  the  intelligent  treatment  of 
questions  of  trade  and  taxatdon,  they  cannot 
afford  to  do  other  then  cordially  indorse  it. 


We  find  no  fault  with  Gov.  Evans,  of 
Colorado,  for  his  ertremely  radical  views 
on  women's  voting,  or,  as  he  calls  it,  the 
"  canso  of  equal  suffrage  ;"  but  we  venture 
to  suggest  that  any  general  conclusions 
drawn  from  the  experience  of  Colorado 
would  not  necessarily  be  applicable  to  the 
entire  Union.  Doubtless  the  "  influence  of 
women  must  be  regarded  as  the  most  prom- 
ising and  most  potent  means  of  purifying 
polities''  in  that  little  State,  if -its-i Gov- 
ernor asserts  the  fact,  and  all  the 
women  within  his  jurisdictiou  agree. 
But  there  are  States  where  a  like  allitera- 
tive auid  eloquent  statement  would  seriously 
conflitJt  with  facts.  There  are  sections 
wher&  the  effect  of  giving  women  votes 
would  idistinctly  not  be  either  "restrain- 
ing" or  "  ennobling."  On  the  whole,  per- 
haps we  have  quite  at  many  varieties  of 
votett-  as  we  can  healtuily  employ  in  the 
VnXted  States,  and  until  "  manhood  s>if- 
trjige "  succeeds  in  pruning  some  of  the 
*i-ils  .  which  it  has  so  long  tolerated,  there 
will  be  a  good  deal  of  hesitation  in  experi- 
menting with  "womanhood  suffrage"  as  an 
adjunct  to  it. 


The  German  Government  have  received 
the  representations  of  the  Turkish  Embassy 
relative  to  Bussian  atrocities  with  mai'ked 
disfavor.  It  will  be  said  that  this  is  in 
exact  accord  with  the  policy  of  Bismarck, 
and  that  the  so-called  neutral  attitude  of 
Germany  really  inclines  to  Russia;  But  the 
Emperor,  in  a  speech  delivered  last  Spring, 
emphatically  declared  his  sympathy  with 
the  oppressed  Christian  subjects  of  the 
Sublime  Porte,  and  said  that  Germany 
would  always  be  fotmd  on  the  side  of 
Christianity  and  humanity.  The  Bulgarian 
outrages  were  then  fresh  in  the  minds  of 
men.  Some  of  those  who  were  then  so  slow  to 
learn  anything  concerning  what  was  happen- 
ing in  Bulgaria  are  now  swift  to  accept  the 
worst  possible  tales  of  Bussian  atrocities. 
Unquestionably,  the  Bussians  make  war  in 
brutal  fashion.  But,  since  Turkey  defied 
the  public  opinion  of  all  Europe,  rewarded 
the  slayers  of  inoffensive  people,  and  denied 
the  existence  of  notorioxis  'wrongs  in  the 
Ckristiaa  i>n>'nnces.  a  .piotMt  ttom.  <thft. . 


Sublime  Porte  at  this  late  day  is  little  short 
of  an  impertinence. 

A  tedious  labor  dispute  between  the  Clyde 
ship-builders  and  their  men  has  been  ended 
by  a  resumption  of  work  at  the  old  rates 
pending  a  settlement  by  arbitration.  The 
enforced  idleness  of  the  ship-yards  and 
machine-shops  on  the  Clyde  began  several 
months  ago  with  a  partial  strike, 
which  was  followed  by  a  "look-out" 
on  the  part  of  the  employers,  who,  as  usual, 
made  common  cause  to  prevent  the  men 
who  chose  to  stay  at  work  from  supplying 
funds  to  main  tain  their  brethren  on  strike.  At 
least  12,000  persons  have  thusbeenobUged 
for  about  eighteen  weeks  to  remain  idle,  and 
arbitration  appears  to  have  been  accepted 
only  after  both  sides  were  pretty  well 
exhausted.  We  need  not  go  to  Glas- 
gow to  find  illustrations  of  the 
suicidal  folly  of  strikes  and  the  doubtful 
justice  of  lock-outs,. but  like  other  centres 
of  the  iron  industry  of  Great  Britain  it  is  at 
least  able  to  teach  us  a  lesson  in  the  appli- 
cation of  judicial  means  to  the  settlement 
of  trade  disputes.  As  we  imported  the 
mechanism  of  strikes,  let  us  hope  that  we 
shall  be  able  to  acclimatize  the  methods 
of  arbitration  also. 


The  Schuylkill  Valley  is  now  the  only  re- 
gion producing  any  considerable  am»unt  of 
coal,  and  the  out-put  of  all  the  regions  last 
week  fell  to  387,062  tons,  against  426,200 
tons  last  year.  The  total  production,  how- 
ever, is  still  2,283,493  tons  beyond  that  of 
last  year,  and  the  average  of  last  week,  with 
the  limited  operations  of  the  mines,  is  about 
the  same  as  the  average  of  last  year  up  to  the 
time  of  the  breaking  of  the  combination. 
Trade  in  coal  has  been  a  little  more  active, 
but  the  future  of  prices  remains  very  un- 
certain. The  strikers  in  the  Wyoming  Val- 
ley have  so  far  been  restrained  that  the 
pumps  which  keep  the  mines  free  from 
water  are  now  generally  at  work,  but  there 
has  been  no  resumption  of  mining.  It  is 
the  general  impression  that  domestic  con- 
sun^rs  of  coal  would  do  well  to  lay  in  their 
Winter  stock  at  present  prices.  They  can- 
not do  much  better,  and  they  may  do  con- 
siderably worse. 


A  FIELD  FOB  LEGISLATION. 

We  are.of  the  opinion  that  there  is  much 
which  Congress  can  do  for  the  working 
classes,  though  we  do  not  think,  as  we  have 
already  said,  that  it  would  accomplish  any- 
thing but  harm  by  trying  to  regulate  the 
hours  of  labor,  the  rate  of  wages,  or  the 
distribution  of  profits.  What  it  can  do  is  to 
use  all  its  powers  to  place  the  working  man 
in  a  position  to  maintain  the  struggle  which 
he  has  to  undertake  with  his  employer  on 
terms  as  equal  as  possible.  It  is,  perhaps, 
true  in  a  general  way  that  the  interests  of 
labor  and  capital  are  in  harmony.  It 
is  certain  that  they  both  receive  their 
profits  from  tho  same  source  and  that 
neither  can  get  on  without  the  other. 
But  it  is  obviously  not  true  that  there  is  no 
necessary  antagonism  between  workmen 
and  their  employers.  On  the  contrary, 
other  things  being  equal,  it  is  to  the  interest 
of  the  former  to  get  as  high  wages  as  they 
can,  and  to  that  of  the  latter  to  pay  as  little 
as  possible.  It  is  a  case  of  selling  and  buy- 
ing, and  the  seller  always  gets  as  much,  the 
buyer  always  pays  as  little,  as  they  can  agree 
on.  The  business  of  the  Government  is  to 
see  that  no  act  of  its  own  tends  to  place  the 
laborer  at  a  disadvantage  or  to  enable  the 
employer  to  drive  a  harder  bargain  than  he 
otherwise  would.  In  other  words,  while  the 
Government  cannot  regulate  the  rates  of 
wages  without  danger  of  injuring  those 
whom  it  proposes  to  help,  it  is  bound  to  see 
that,  so  far  as  it  is  concerned,  the  laborer  is 
left  free  to  fight  his  own  battles  without 
undue  interference. 

Ih  this  connection  it  is  the  duty  of  Gov- 
ernment to  keep  the  peace  and  to  protect 
all  men  who  wish  to  work  and  who  eau  get 
work  against  violence  from  every  source. 
This  dutv  by  the  Constitution  finally  falls 
on  the  General  Government,  as  it  did  in 
West  Virginia  and  Pennsylvania  during  the 
late  disgraceful  occurrences  there.  The 
greatest  wrong  done  to  laborers  at  that 
time,  though  done  by  laborers  themselves, 
was  the  coercion  of  men  who  were  willing 
to  take  work  and  could  get  it.  Nothing 
can  be  worse  than  that.  It  is  the 
essence  of  tyranny,  and  tjTanny  is 
just  as  bad  when  exercised  by 
strikers  as  when  exercised  by  capitalists. 
The  evil  which  lay  at  the  basis  of  slavery, 
and  which  created  so  profound  indignation 
against  it  among  the  free  workmen  of  the 
North,  was  its  denial  of  the  right  of  men  to 
their  own  labor  and  to  its  honest  fruits.  It 
is  the  duty  of  the  General  Government  to  be 
prepared  with  force  large  enough  and  well- 
enough  disciplined  and  directed  to  protect 
working  men  from  violent  interference  with 
their  right  to  work,  whenever  the  Sta  te  au- 
thorities are  imable  to  perform  that  task. 

In  the  second  place,  it  is  the  duty  of  the 
Federal  Government  to  fulfill  its  promises 
regarding  the  forced  loan  which  it  levied 
sosa^^it'teen  years  ago,  and  which  it  has 
since  compelled  the  public  to  take  as  legal 
tender.  The  notes  which  are  the  evidence 
of  this  loan,  in  their  character  as  currency, 
have  been  in  many  respects  extremely  in- 
jurious ti>  labor.  Their  use  has  stimu- 
lated speculation  and  tended  to  en- 
courage rash  ventures,  the  failure  of 
which  has  thrown  thousands  of  in- 
dustrious men  out  of  work.  .  There  can 
be  no  return  of  well-established  prosperity 
until  the  legal-tender  notes  are  made  re- 
deemable on  demand,  because  so  long  as 
they  remain  irredeemable  there  is  an  ele- 
ment of  great  uncertainty  in  all  business 
calculations.  This  is  still  more  true  now 
tban  it  has  ever  been  before,  because  the 
Government  is  pledged  to  redemption  at  a 
precise  day,  namely,  on  and  after  the  1st  o  f 
January,  1879.  If  that  pledge  is  broken 
no  one  can  teU  what  may  come  next.  It 
was  bad  enough  when  the  notes  were  left 
unredeemed  and  their  redemption  a  ques- 
tion of  indefinite  calculation.  But  it  will  be 
a  great  deal  worse  if  the  Government  adds 
to  its  evasion  of  an  indefinite  obligation  the 
distinct  repudiation  of  a  precise  promise. 
There  are  many  other  respects  in  which  the 
redemption  of  the  legal-tender  notes  is 
an  Important  matter  for  working  men — 
such  as  the  influenoe  these  notes  have  on 
the  cost  of  Uving  and  on  the  solvency  of 
employers — ^but  these  only  strengthen  the 
obligation  which  the  Government  is  under 
to  carry  out  to  the  letter  the  promise  to  re- 
deem in  1879. 

In  the  third  place,  the  Gwemment 
can.  "'i  tii6   wozkizuE  fllasnnn  by  revising 


its  tariff  laws  and  modifying  those  pro- 
visions which  tend  to  hamper  American 
commerce  and  industry.  With  the  inten- 
tion of  protecting  American. mannfactnres 
many  features  have  been  introduced  iato 
our  tariff  laws  which  oppress  those  man- 
ufactures, which  close  important  markets, 
which  diminish  the  healthy  demand  for 
labor ;  and  others  have  crept  in  which, 
without  any  compensation  to  consider- 
able bodies  of  workmen,  largely  in- 
crease the  general  cost  of  living.  This 
view  of  our  tariff  legislation  is  not  eon- 
fined  to  importers  or  to  the  advocates  of 
free  trade.  It  is,  on  the  contrary,  strong- 
est among  those  of  our  own  manufac- 
turers who  have  given  the  closest  atten- 
tion to  the  subject,  and  any  Congress- 
ional committee  undertaking  an  impartial 
and  thorough  investigation  will  have  no 
difSculty  in  discovering  numerous  provisions 
of  law  which  are  a  clog  on  American  in- 
dustry and  a  seriovis  hindrance  to  the  return 
of  prosperity.  There  has  been  in  Congress 
for  several  years  a  general  acceptance  of  the 
principle  that  American  manufacturers  are 
entitled  to  the  admission  of  their  raw  mate- 
rials free  of  duty,  or  at  a  low  rate,  and  that 
when  the  finished  product  of  one  branch  of 
manufacture  is  the  raw  material  for  other 
larger  and  more  important  branches,  it  is  a 
disadvantage  to  American  industry  generally 
that  the  former  should  be  protected  at  the  ex- 
pense of  the  latter.  A  firm  and  intelligent 
application  of  this  principle  would  relieve 
American  workmen  of  many  of  the  obstacles 
which  now  stand  in  the  way  of  their  getting 
steady  work  at  fair  rates. 

In  the  fourth  place,  it  is  no  longer  doubt- 
ful that  the  General  Government  alone  can 
successfully  undertake,  by  legislation,  the 
removal  of  some  of  the  most  serious  evils 
which  have  gi'own  up  in  the  management  of 
the  great  lines  of  railway.  The  essence  of 
these  lies  in  the  wildly  speculative  charac- 
ter of  much  of  this  management,  and  shows 
itself  in  two  forms — in  the  unsafe  inflation 
of  credit  and  in  the  want  of  responsibility 
of  Directors  to  the  shai'e-owners  or  bond- 
holders who  have  provided  the  real  capital. 
This  is  a  broad  and  complicated  subject, 
which  we  cannot  go  into  now ;  but 
it  is  sufficient  to  say  that  the 
working  classes,  of  all  others,  are 
most  wronged  by  enterprises  not 
conducted  in  a  solid  and  eon.servative  man- 
ner. Those  directly  employed  in  such  en- 
terprises have  their  wages  cut  down  to  the 
lowest  point  to  meet  the  demands  of  interest 
and  to  pay  the  profits  of  the  speculators, 
while  the  industrious  class  generally  suffer 
far  more  from  the  collapse  of  unhealthy 
ventures  than  is  made  up  to  them  in  the 
temporarj'  employment  of  a  part  of  their 
number.  How  speculation  is  to.be  cheeked 
and  responsibility  secured  is  a  problem  for 
the  careful  attention  of  Congress,  and  such 
atteutiou  it  ought  to  receive  promptly. 


SENATOR  BLAINE'S  SCAHECROW. 

What  has  become  of  Senator  Bl.une's 
Fourth  of  July  scarecrow  f  If  things  go  on 
at  this  rate,  we  shall  not  only  be  on  the 
most  intimate  and  friendly  relations  with 
Mexico  when  Congress  meets,  but  it  will  be 
made  evident  that  the  dark  policy  of  annex- 
ation wliieh  the  able  Senator  affected  to 
discover  m  the  State  Department  has  really 
resulted  "iu  peace  and  good  order.  In 
his  speech  at  Mr.  Bowen's  great  picnic 
at  Woodstock,  Mr.  Bl.\I!.-e  celebrated 
Independence  Day  by  exhibiting  his 
Mexican  scarecrow.  The  Administra- 
tion, he  feelingly  urged,  was  engaged 
in  an  intrigue  to  involve  the  United 
States  in  war  with  the  Mexican  Republic. 
The  old  business  of  Santo  Domingo  and 
Samana  was  to  be  gone  over  agaiil  and  the 
aggressions  of  the  United  States  were  to 
lead  up  to  the  conquest  of  Mexico.  On  that 
day  Woodstock  was  a  weeping  place,  and 
all  the  onions  of  Connecticut  could  not  have 
produced  a  more  tearful  spectacle  than 
that  offered  when  the  orators  bewailed 
the  degeneracy  of  the  times  and  the 
evil  days  on  which  the  RepuT>lic  had  fallen. 
But  none  were  so  eloquently  lachrymose  as 
the  able  Senator  from  Maine. 

Possibly,  Senator  Blaine,  who  knew 
that  he  must  talk  polities,  cunningly  chose 
the  Mexican  bugaboo  as  a  temporary  ex- 
cuse. Like  his  dear  friend.  Senator  Conk- 
LISG,  he  is  not  ready  to  discuss  politics 
now.  The  exceedingly  akle  Senator  from 
New-Tork,  from  the  time  he  mounted  a  pile 
of  liunber  on  the  North  German  steamer 
dock  at  Hoboken  until  he  was  fairly  at 
home  in  his  "birthplace  spot,"  as  he 
felicitously  calls  it,  could  not  say  a 
word  about  politics.  He  reviled  our 
street  railroads  with  righteous  indigna- 
tion. He  drew  a  melancholy  picture  of 
the  pampered  French  working  man  who  has 
money  to  invest  iu  his  country's  b6nds ; 
and  he  soared  aloft  on  eagle's  wings  when 
he  referred,  in  terms  of  statesmanlike  devo- 
tion, to  his  own,  his  native  land.  At  one 
way  station,  to  be  sure,  the  exceedingly  able 
Senator,  with  his  eye  on  the  impatient  loco- 
motive, bewailed  the  fate  that  tore  him 
away  from  his  auditors  before  he  could  say 
a  word  about  national  politics.  And  when 
he  reached  his  journey's  end,  where 
there  was  ample  time  and  no  locomotive, 
impatient  or  otherwise,  the  able  Senator 
confined  his  remarks  to  such  stirring  topics 
as  land  tenure  in  England,  the  evils 
of  a  monarchy,  the  Suez  Canal, 
and  the  starry  flag.  Mr,  Blaine  is 
similarly  fortunate.  At  his  only  conspicu- 
ous recent  public  appearance,  ho  found  solid 
satisfaction  in  kicking  about  a  scarecrow,  un- 
til, as  a  homely  Woodstocker  observed,  "  the 
stuffing  was  all  out  of  it."  It  was  a  great 
thing  to  do.  It  marks  the  man  of  genius.-  A 
less  cunning  and  astute  politician  would 
have  blundered  into  saying  something  that 
people  were  interested  in.  Not  so  the  able 
Senator  from  Maine.  He  made  a  speech 
about  Mexican  annexation  with  just  as  much 
snap  and  fervor  as  if  he  really  believed 
what  he  said, 

It  was  an  untimely  speech.  Not  because 
it  was  delivered  too  soon,  but  because  it 
was  too  late.  Only  a  few  weeks  have  passed, 
and  our  illations  with  Mexico,  instead  of 
being  interrupted,  are  on  a  more  friendly 
footing  than  ever  before.  The  firm  tone  of 
the  Washington  authorities,  instead  of 
being,  as  the  Maine  Senator  declared,  pre- 
liminary to  a  declaration  of  war,  is  taken 
by  the  Mexican  Government  to  imply  that 
there  must  be  no  more  trifiiug  on  the  Bio 
Grande^  This  is  precisely  what  was  intend- 
ed, and  precisely  what  The  Times  said 
would  be  the  effect.  President  Diaz  has 
sent  a  considerable  force  to  the  frontier, 
which  is  now  occunied  iu  suppressing  raids 


and  coHjperating  with  the  United  States 
forces  on  the  hither  side  of  the  Bio 
Grande.  When  the  Mexican  reinforcements 
appeared,  the  World,  which  wants  a  war  and 
an  annexation,  declared  that  the  troops  were 
sent  to  repel  invasion,  as  if  invasion  were 
really  intended  by  our  Government.  ■  But 
the  Mexicans,  evidently  believing  that  we 
are  serious  in  our  remonstrances,  are  deter- 
mined to  help  to  bring  the  border  troubles  to 
an  end.  Let  us  give  them  credit  for  sincer- 
ity, at  least.  Until  they  show  that  they  are 
unwilling  to  do  what  we  have  demanded  of 
them  as  oar  right,  we  must  presume  that 
they  are  acting  in  good  faith. 

But  if  Mr.  Blaine  is  at  all  disap- 
pointed by  this  untimely  explosion  of 
his  Woodstock  sensation,  he  may  find  new 
matei^ial  (that  Ls  to  say  stuffing)  in  a  propo- 
sition which  some  Kentucky  statesman  has 
made  to  a  Mexican  friend.  The  Eentuok- 
ian  is  described  by  a  local  authority  as 
"  Regent  John  B.  Bowman."  This  ingen- 
ious person  has  ■  written  to  a  citizen  of 
Mexico,  urging  that  Diaz  be  approached 
with  a  proposal  to  sell  the  United  States  a 
certain  portion  of  Northern  Mexico  for 
$100,000,000,  less  the  amount  due 
American  citizens  as  damages.  If  Diaz 
will  do  this,  says  the  Kentucky 
"  Regent,"  a  treaty  could  be  concluded 
within  ninety  days  ;  and,  adds  the  guileless 
diplomatist,  "  perhaps  I  could  receive  the 
appointment  of  a  Special  Agent  or  Minister 
Resident  at  Mexico  to  consummate  matters." 
To  be  sure,  the  reply  to  this  proposition 
was  not  encouraging.  The  Mexican  gentle- 
man averred  with  emphasis  that  he  would 
no  more  mention  such  a  matter  to  President 
Diaz  than  he  would  cut  his  head  off  ;  and 
he  wondered  that  Regent  J.  B.  Bowman 
could  ever  suppose  that  a  Mexican  citizen 
•'  would  be  capable  of  harboring  such  a 
damnable  feeling."  But  we  are  not 
so  sure  that  the  Kentucky  Regent 
is  not  a  myrmidon  of  the  Administration' 
who  is  craftily  sounding  the  Mexican  au- 
thorities preWous  to  entering  on  more  open 
schemes  of  annexation.  Who  knows  but 
that  Secretary  Evabts  has  $100,000,000 
in  his  pocket  for  the  purchase  of  Northern 
Mexico,  and  that  he  will  deolare  war  if  the 
Diaz  Administration  will  not  take  the  money 
and  say  that  it  is  a  trade  t  Mr.  Blaine  will 
do  well  to  look  into  this.  He  has  committed 
himself  to  the  declaration  that  som'ebojfy 
has  nefarious  and  burglarious  designs  «m 
Mexico.  The  threats  of  war  have  quietly\ 
faded  away.  If  the  plot  is  what  the  able 
Senator  from  Maine  said  it  was.  Regent 
Bowman  ought  to  be  investigated. 


"TRE  LABORER'S  FRIEND." 
There  has  not  been  and  there  probably 
never  vnll  be  a  "  Boss  "  of  Tammany  Hall 
who  can  afford  to  be  regarded  as  anything 
else  than  "the  laborers  friend."  WlLLL*..M 
M.  Tweed,  of  fragrant  record,  filled  that 
position  admirably,  and  he  has,  to  this 
day,  thousands  of  very  ardent  ad- 
mirers among  the  class  who  re- 
garded him  as  their  patron  and  benefactor. 
Tweed's  system  was  a  very  simple  one. 
Tho  more  up-towu  '"improvements"  the 
more  numerous  the  chances  of  stealing,  and 
the  bigger  also  the  pay-rolls  to  be  devoted 
to  the  monthly  claims  of  the  deserving  "  la- 
boring man."  Kellv"s  system  is  rather 
more  complex.  He  assumed  control  of 
Tammany  Hall  at  a  time  when  the  combined 
forces  of  ignorance,  vice,  and  bigotry 
were  found  incapable  of  saving  the  or- 
ganization from  disaster.  He,  accordingly, 
became  eonvTueed  of  the  necessity  of  doing 
something  to  secure  the  support  of  the  peo- 
ple who  paid  the  City  laborers  as  well  as  of 
the  laborers  themselves.  .  So  Mayor  AViCK- 
ham  and  Gen.  Fitz  John  Porter  were  en- 
couraged to  reduce  the  pay  of  the  City  la- 
borers as  near  as  possible  to  market  rates, 
while  Mr.  Kelly  and  his  organization  de- 
clared to  the  indignant  laborers  that  nothing 
should  be  left  undone  to  correct  so  iniqui- 
tous a  proceeding.  Mr.  Kelly  did  not  suc- 
ceed in  taking  in  the  tax-payers  by  his  very 
transparent  clap-trap,  and  there  is  no  evi- 
dence that  he  took  in  "  the  laboring  man." 

There  are  some  recent  indications  that 
Kelly  has  resolved  to  ignore  the  City  laborer 
as  completely  as  he  has  lately  done  the  ta.x- 
payer,  and  that  he  thinks  the  iuterests  of 
both  may  be  safely  sacrificed  to  the  per- 
sonal advantage  of  a  tejr  overpaid  re- 
tainers of  what  he  delights  to  call  "  my 
organization."  Gov.  RoBissoN'a  vetoes  of 
the  bills  for  reducing  salaries  and  expendi- 
tiu-es  in  New-York  were  evidently  some  of 
the  results  of  this  theory  of  political  suc- 
cess. The  action  which  a  day  or  two  ago 
caused  the  discharge  of  two  or  three  hun- 
dred laborers  from  the  Department  of 
Public  Works  was  an  equally  instruc- 
tive case  in  point.  These  men  were 
employed,  not  in  the  construction 
of  costly  and  superfluous  up-town 
boulevards,  but  in  the  very  necessary  work 
of  repaving  down-town  streets.  Their  case, 
therefore,  concerns  people  outside  of  the 
limited  circle  of  real  estate  specula- 
tors and  those  whom  Tammany  dema- 
gogues call  "laboring  men."  A  year 
ago  Commissioner  Campbell,  who  has 
the  singular  good  fortune  of  being  in  bad 
odor  with  Tammany  Hall,  asked  for  an  ap- 
propriation of  $500,000  for  repaving  and 
$250,000  for  repairing  streets.  In  making 
up  the  budget  for  1877,  Controller  Geken, 
while  applying  the  pnining-knife  very  free- 
ly at  other  points,  inserted  $700,000  for 
these  two  items.  On  Mr.  Kelly's  nominal 
assumption  of  the  duties  of  Controller, 
he  found  that  Mr.  Green  had  been  economi- 
calin  the  wrong  place.  There  was;  for  in- 
stance, that  very  useful  Tammany  factotum, 
"Tom"  Dunlap,  who,  assisted  by  a  few 
relatives,  enjoys  quite  a  comfortable 
sinecure  as  Commissioner  of  Jurors. 
His  salary  had  actually  been  cut 
down  to  $4,000  a  year,  while  a 
similarly  insignificant  sum  had  been  appro- 
priated for  the  benefit  of  the  Publio  Admin- 
istrator, the  Corporation  Attorney,  and  the 
attorney  for  the  collection  of  the  arrears  of 
personal  taxes.  Mr.  Kelly  concluded  that 
there  would  be  no  Tammany  Hall  left  if  men 

like  "  Tom"  Dunlap,  "  Billy"  Boyd, 
"Ed"  Gale,  and  Algeenon  Sidney 
ScnxrVAN  were  to  have  their  pay 
reduced  to  anything  like,  sav,  double 
the  sum  they  could  earn  in  any 
private  business.'  So  he  appropriated  for 
these  deserving  persoiis  $15,000  more  than 
Controller  GbeeN  thought  them  entitled  to. 
As  sundry  similar  instances  of  liberality 
made  Kelly's  budget  somewhat  large,  and 
as  it  was  deemed  expedient  to  try  and  make 
^LLT  appear  as  a  humble  imitator  of  the 
sreat   economist  Bandall.  the  aDoioona- 


tion  for  repaving  and  repairing  down-town 
streets  was  reduced  by  one-haU,  or  to  the 
sum  of  $360,000.  The  inadequacy  of 
this  amount  soon  became  apparent, 
and  the  Lf^eislature  was  asked 
to  appropriate  $200,000  more  for  the  very 
desirable  purpose  in  question.  The  bUl 
was  passed,  but,  for  some  more  or  less 
valid  reason,  was  vetoed  by  Gov.  Robin- 
son. Hence,  when  the  $350,000  gave  out, 
the  repaving  of  down-town  streets  had 
to  stop,  and  the  laborers  had  to  be  dis- 
charged. But — thanks  to  Kelly — ^Messrs. 
DcTNLAP,  BoTD,  Gale,  and  Sullivan, 
not  to  mention  their  industrious  friends  the 
Coroners,  the  Aldermen,  the  superfluous 
Commissioners  in  various  departments,  and 
a  host  of  "  workers"  in  the  courts  and  the 
City  offices,  can  face  the  problem  of  hard 
times  with  perfect  equanimity.  If  $500 
a  year  represents  a  very  libera  1  remiineration 
for  a  "  laboring  man,"  then  "  Tom"  DunlapIs 
equal  to  thirty  laboring  men,  with  their 
families  thrown  in.  As  he  does  next  to 
nothing,  so  far  as  the  public  is  concerned, 
for  the  money,  it  is  obvious  that  he  must  be 
an  exceedingly  valuable  person  to  Tam- 
many Hall.  His  year's  salary  would  have 
kept  100  laborers  engaged  at  street-paving 
for  the  next  four  months,  and  all  the  men 
whom  Commissioner  Campbell  discharged 
the  other  day  eoidd  have  been  retained  at  the 
price  of  a  few  reductions  in  the  salaries  of 
ridiculously  overpaid  officials.  We  do  not 
think  that  the  City  owes  any  man,  be  he  la- 
borer or  otherwise,  a  living.  But  Tammany 
Hall  has  steadfastly  insisted  that  it  does. 
That  being  so,  and  the  necessity  for 
repaving  down-town  streets  being  admitted 
by  those  who  do  not  appreciate  the  social- 
istic theory  of  municipal  government,  Mr. 
Kelly  will  have  a  very  good  chance  to  ex- 
plain in  whose  interest  it  was  that  he  cut 
down  the  appropriation  asked  for  by  Com- 
missioner Campbell  and  approved  by  Con- 
troller Gbeen. 


THE  CLOSING  OF  THE  DARDANELLES. 

Turkey's  reported  closing  of  the  Darda- 
nelles to  all  foreign  fleets  alike  carries  with 
it  a  twofold  meaning — a  hint  of  her  suspi- 
cions that  the  British  squadron  may  as  easi- 
ly act  against  as  for  her  and  an  avowal  of 
her  confidence  in  her  own  ability  to  defend 
herself  without  any  extraneous  aid  what- 
ever. Nor  is  this  announcement  by  any 
means  an  empty  vaunt.  Nature  has  given 
to  the  famous  strait  an  eminently  defensible 
Configuration,  and  were  its  formidable  bat- 
teries efficiently  armed  and  manned,  which 
Turkish  defenses  seldom  or  never  are,  any 
hostile  vessel  would  do  well  to  have  another 
Paeraqct  on  board  before  running  the 
gantlet  of  their  fire.  The  strength  of  the 
current,  too,  is  such  as  to  impede  the  prog- 
ress of  very  large  vessels  in  certain  states 
of  the  weather,  and  the  sudden  squalls  that 
at  times  come  sweeping  down  from  the  An- 
ajtolian  highlands  are  often  quite  as  formid- 
able as  those  of  the  Mediterranean. 

There  are  few  more  picturesque  land- 
scapes, even*  in  the  Levant,  than  the  first 
sight  of  the  famous  "  Hellespont"  rushing 
forth  from  between  the  bold  ridges  that 
hem  it  in,  with  the  little  purple  islet  of  Ten- 
edos  seen  diml^  to  the  south,  and  the 
great  white  dome  of  Olympus  hanging  like  a 
cloud  upon  the  north-eastern  sky.  A 
few  Turkish  villages  cluster  about  the 
entrance,  but  '  the  first  considerable 
town  is  that  of  Dardanelles  itself,  some  dis- 
tance up  the  eastern  shore,  with  its  tall, 
square,  flat-roofed  houses,  and  huge  yellow 
lazaretto,  massed  along  a  flat  strip  of  dusty 
plain,  behind  which  the  distant  mount- 
ains loom  shadow-like  along  the  horizon. 
The  European  coast  is  for  the  most  part 
higher  and  bolder  than  the  Asiatic,  up  to 
the  point  where  the  hills  fall  away  sudden- 
ly to  leave  room  for  tho  deep  curving  hol- 
low in  which,  almost  level  with  the  water's 
edge,  lie  the  tiny  white  forts  of  Sestos  and 
.\bydo3,  the  scene  of  BjTon's  famous  swim 
in  imitation  jf  Leander.  Here  the  channel 
runs  almost  due  east  for  a  few  miles,  and 
then  resumes  its  former  direction.  Sunny 
slopes,  stee^  emmbling  ridges,  and  deep, 
narrow  inlets  succeed  each  other  for  miles, 
till  at  last  the  straggling  streets  and  tum- 
ble-down fortifications  of  GalUpoli  stand 
out  on  a  grassy  headland  in  the  blistering 
sunshine,  and  beyond  it,  dappled  withVood- 
crowued  islets,  extends  the  smooth  bright 
surface  of  the  Sea  of  Marmora. 

Only  twice  in  the  last  two  centuries  has 
the  passage  been  forced,  and  both  times 
with  comparative  ease.  Iu  1770,  Capt. 
Elphinstone,  a  British  officer  in  the  Bus- 
sian service,  having  vainly  tried  to  persuade 
Admiral  Oblofp  to  follow  up  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  Turkish  fleet  at  TchesmS  by  an 
instant  dash  upon  Constantinople,  attempt- 
ed the  feat  with  his  own  single  vessel. 
Escaping  the  one  huge  stone  shot  which  the 
Turks  contrived  to  discharge  at  him,  he 
anchored  off  Seraglio  Point,  in  front  of  the 
Sultan's  own  palace,  and  having  drunk  a 
glass  of  grog  in  defiance  of  the  infuriated 
crowd  along  the  shore,  sailed  out  again  in 
triumph.  A  little  more  than  30  years  later 
another  British  commander  ran  through 
the  Dardanelles  with  equal  impunity,  and, 
anchoring  his  squadron  off  Prince's  Island, 
menaced  Constantinople  with  a  bombard- 
ment. But  the  French  envoy.  Gen.  Sebas- 
TiANi,  contrived  to  stave  off  the  peril  for 
seven  days  by  a  show  of  negotiation,  while 
the  entire  population  labored  day  and  night 
at  the  defenses,  till  the  British  Admiral, 
suddenly  confronted  by  1,200  heavy  guns, 
had  no  choice  but  to  retreat.  The  Darda- 
nelles batteries  were  by  this  time  manned 
and  armed;  several  vessels  were  struck,  in 
passing,  by  300-pound  balls  of  stone  ;  and 
when  the  squadron  at  length  gained  the 
open  sea,  three  ships  were  totally  dismasted 
and  120  men  dead  or  disabled. 


MAES  AND  ITS  MOONS. 

Mars  has  always  been  an  interesting 
planet.  It  is  sufficiently  near  us  to  en- 
able astronomers  to  investigate  it  pretty 
thoroughly,  while  at  the  same  time  they 
cannot  ventiire  to  tell  such  extraordinary 
stories  concerning  it  as  they  fearlessly 
tell  of  the  ringed  Saturn,  and  the  many- 
mooned  and  belted  Jupiter.  ;  Although 
Mars  resembles  the  earth  in  many  re- 
spects, it  is  laid  out  in  a  very  peculiar 
manner — ^the  continents  being  pierced 
with  long  and  narrow  fiords,  as  if  the 
planet  had  been  expressly  designed  for 
the  Summer  cruises  of  the  New- York 
Yacht  Club.  There  ia  a  great  deal  more 
climate  in  Mars  than  there  is  on  this 
earth.  In  the  Winter  the  polar  ice  brings 
itself  to  the  very  doors  of  the  inhabit- 
ants of  the  e^iuatorial  zone,  and  in  Sum- 


mer eazly  Spring  vegetables  grow  in  the 
extreme  arctic  regions. 

Until  last  week  all  astronomers  agreed 
in  denying  that  Mars  is  inhabited.  It  has 
always  been  suspected  that  they  took  this 
course  because  they  f etured  that  if  they  once 
admitted  the  existence  of  inhabitants  upon 
Mars,  the  public  would  demand  that  they 
should  open  some  method  of  communication 
with  the  Martial  people — a  task  which  the  as- 
tronomers well  knew  they  could  not  acoom- 
plish..  However  this  may  be,  they  stoutly 
asserted  that  there  was  not  a  living  beinf, 
whether  human  or  scientific,  upon  Mars, 
and  in  proof  thereof,  paraded  .the  alleged 
fact  that  Mars  had  no  moon.  When  skep- 
tical people  inquired  why  a  moon  was 
thought  necessary  to  the  existence  of  inhab- 
itants, they  were  overwhelmed  with  learned 
remarks  on  tides  and  other  phenomena  due 
to  lunar  influence,  and  were  finally  silenced 
with  the  assertion  that  as  life  on  the  earth 
has  never  existed  except  contemporaneously 
with  the  moon,  we  are,  therefore,  justified 
in  assuming  that  a  moon  is  a  necessary  con- 
dition of  life  on  everjf  planet.  Of  course, 
the  weakness  of  this  ai'gument  has  often 
been  perceived  by  intelligent  men,  but  out 
of  prudence  they  have  f  orebome  to  combat 
it.  No  wise  man  argues  with  a  scientific 
person.  The  latter  can  always  overwhelm 
him  with  unsavory  scientific  terms,  to  the 
use  of  which  no  self-respecting  man  can  de- 
scend. It  is  true  that  when  an  angry  scien- 
tific person  calls  an  opponent  an  uncon- 
scious automaton,  an  aggregation  of  proto- 
plasms, and  a  son  of  a  simian,  it  is  the  former 
and  not  the  latter  who  is  degraded  ;  but  no 
one  cares  to  unnecessarily  provoke  such  an 
avalanche  of  bad  language. 

The  discovery  made  last  week  that  Mars 
has  two  moons  completely  upsets  the  theory 
that  the  planet  is  not  inhabited.  Why  these 
moons  were  not  discovered  before  is  a  ques- 
tion that  only  unsophisticated  persons  will 
ask.  A  few  years  ago,  if  an  astronomer  had 
discovered  a  Martial  satellite  he  would 
doubtless  have  kept  it  quiet,  but  at  present 
there  are  so  many  telescopes  in  the  hands  of 
unprofessional  men  that  any  concealment 
of  an  astronomic  fact  by  a  scientific  person 
would  be  sure  to  be  detected.  In  all  proba- 
bility the  moons  of  Mars  have  been  known  to 
unprincipled  astronomers  for  many  years,  and 
have  been  unfairly  kept  from  us.  At  last,  how- 
ever, we  know  the  truth,  and  can  draw  from 
the  existence  of  the  Martial  moons  a  demon- 
stration of  the  existence  of  Martial  in- 
habitants. 

We  have  every  reason  to  believe  that  the 
laws  of  nature  are  the  same  On  every  plaiet. 
On  the  earth  the  light  of  the  full  moon  calls 
into  existence  eoimtless  myriads  of  cats, 
which  collect  on  the  back  fences  of  five  con-r 
tinents  and  sing  siJnultaneously  the  praises 
of  the  moon.  The  same  cause  must  pro- 
duce the  same  effect  in  Mars.  In  fact,  as 
Mars  has  two  moons,  it  must  have  twice 
as  many  cats  in  proportion  to  its  size  as  has 
the  earth.  YThen  both  of  these  moons  are 
at  the  full,  and  the  feline  millions  of  Mars 
are  joining  in  glad  chorus,  the  effect  must 
be  in  the  highest  degree  sublime,  not  to  say 
nice. 

The  tuneful  midnight  eat  postulates  the 
back  fence.  This  great  natural  law  must 
hold  good  in  Mars  or  any  other  planet  where 
cats  exist.  There  are,  then,  back  fences  in 
Mars,  and  £is  the  number  of  these  fences 
must  vary  directly  as  the  square  of  the  num- 
ber of  cats,  (see  Newton's  Prindpia,  Cap. 
xvii.,)  Mars  must  be  more  thickly  covered 
with  back  fences  than  is  the  centre  of  an 
ordinary  block  of  New- York  houses.  But 
the  fence,  in  its  turn,  postulates  the  house. 
Hence,  there  are  vast  quantities  of  houses 
in  Mars,  and  either  these  houses  are  inhab- 
ited, or  else  nature  in  that  planet  is  guilty  of 
wasting  her  energies  and  providing  useless 
and  aimless  houses. 

Conclusive  as  this  rigid  reasoning  mtist 
be  conceded  to  be,  it  is  only  one  of  the 
methods  by  which  the  existence  of  inhab- 
itants in  Mars  can  be  deduced  from  the  fact 
of  its  two  moons.  The  cat  is  not  the  only 
animal  that  coexistj/with moonlight.  Given 
a  moon,  and  lovers  follow,  as  a  matter  of 
course.  Now  the  lover  is  only  ah  undevel- 
oped form  of  humanity,  and  unless  he  is 
cut  off  by  an  untimely  father  or  a  zealous 
dog  he  inevitably  develops  into  a  real  in- 
habitant. Owing  to  its  double  quantity  of 
moons,  Mars  has,  unquestionably,  an  exces- 
sive supply  of  lovers ;  but  these  lovers  are  so 
many  inchoate  inhabitants,  and  in  time  they 
must  rent  houses,  pay  taxes,  subscribe  to 
newspapers,  and,  in  short,  exhibit  all  the 
traits  of  the  true  inhabitant. 

Though  it  is  impossible  to  approve  of  the 
habits  and  customs  of  scientific  persons, 
science  itself  is  sometimes  a  useful  and  pleas- 
ing thing.  The  mind  of  man,  unaided  by 
soienee,cotdd  not  arrive  at  a  knowledge  of  the 
fact  that  Mars  is  inhabited  simply  by  knowing 
that  it  has  moons.  To  him,  however,  who  can 
carry  on  a  prolonged  process  of  inductive 
reasoning  in  accordance  with  scientific 
principles,  the  task  is  a  mere  trifle.  The 
■ordinary  person  would  be  surprised  were  he 
to  be  told  all  that  science  will  enable  its 
able  reasoner  to  accomplish ;  and  if  this 
humble  illustration  of  scientific  reasoning 
develops  a  new  interest  in,  and  respect  for, 
science,  it  will  fulfill  its  purpose. 


OBITUART. 


PROP.  HENRY  NEV7T0N. 
Prof.  Henry  Newton,  one  of  tho  most  acc<nn- 
plisbed  of  our  minliig  engineers  and  geologists,  died 
on  the  5th  of  this  month  at  Deadwood,  Dakota,  and 
to-day  hia  remains  will  be  buried  from  bis  mother's 
residence,  No.  26  West  Twenty -first-street.  He  was 
a  man  of  fn^eat  aptitude  for  sdedce,  and  if  his  life  had 
been  spared  would  have  left  a  reputation  of  the  first 
tank.  Prof.  Newton  died  at  the  age  of  32,  while  en- 
gaged in  the  surver  of  the  Black  Kills  region,  which 
be  began  two  years  ago,  and  which  be  set  out  with 
enthusiasm  to  finish  this  season.  His  disease  was 
typhoid  fever,  and  the  fatal  result,  very  sudden,  was 
caused  by  a  relapse,  which  was  not  anticipated  by  his 
companion,  to  whom  his  cheerful  spirit  and  unflagging 
seal  had  been  a  constant  stimulus.  Prof.  Newton  was 
the  son  of  the  late  Isaae  Newton,  distinguished  as 
one  of  the  pioneers  of  steam  navigation,  and  be  was 
the  brother  of  Isaac  Newton,  the  well-known  engi- 
neer of  this  City.  He  graduated  iu  1366  from  the 
C^ege  of  New-Yodc  ;  three  years  later  he  took  his 
degree  from  the  School  of  3tiines,  Columbia  College, 
at  an  Engineer  of  Mines,  being  one  of  the  early  grad- 
uates of  that  now  famous  institution.  While  in  the 
School  of  Mines  he  manifested  a  great  aptitude  for 
his  choeen  '■aUine,  and  when  he  took  his  diploma  be 
was  regarded  br  the  Faculty  of  the  college  as  one  of 
their  most  hopeful  and  promising  students ;  and  bis 
subsequent  career  shows  that  they  were  not  wrong 
In  their  sanguine  expeetatlans.  In  recognition  of 
Prof.  Newton's  scientific  acquirements,  based 
ehiefiy  on  geological  -  work  ■  done  in  the  far 
West,  he  was  this  year  awarded  the  hon- 
orary degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  His 
thorough  sdentL^e  training,  united  to  hia  marked 
natural  qualifications,  soon  attracted  the  attention  of 
the  Trustees  of  the  collesre,  and  not  long  after  his 
ggartnarionhewaa  aDBOintad   AssiitaTir  Piofesaar  of

appoint  ;J  undei  PnsJ  Newberyoneof  the  geologtsta 
of  the  Krest  geoioe-.cal  survey  of  Ohio. 

While  counecteu  with  this  survey  Prof.  Newton  a» 
compUshed  a  large  amount  of  work  which  gained  him 
the  high  esteem  of  im  own  profession.  He  also 
achieved  a  larger  fame  bj  hi*  original  and  valuable 
papers  touchi.^  ;^t>'aomic  geology.  Particularly  in 
the  snedalty  of  m^rtaliurgy  Prof.  Newton  made 
himself  an  autlorlty.  since  be  4iad  ac- 
quired  a  fund  uf  information  respecting  the 
Iron  industrv  of  tie  country  possessed 
by  few  men.  'two  years  Ago  Prof.  Vewto:!  was  ap- 
pointed geologist  to*  the  "United  States  Black  Hills  ex- 
pedition. Il  was  a  new  and  unexplored  country 
which  he  bad  to  visit,  and  this  circumst.ance  inspired 
his  zeal  and  ambition.  H^  worked  with  enthusiasm, 
and  gather^  results  which  may  eveutoally  be  put  at 
their  real  importance.  Hjb  report  of  this  survey, 
which  will  be  short'y  published  t»y  the  Goverrunent, 
is  worthy  of  the  oldest  ceoloeist  we  havo.  Prof, 
Kewton  returned  to  the  Black  Hills  early  this  Sum* 
mer.  undertheDenartmeTitofibe  Interior,  with  a  view 
to  the  more  complete  examination  of  certain  special 
geological  features  of  the  country,  in  order  to  i^d  to 
the  compMeneRS  of  his  report.  It  vnn  while  on  this 
duty  that  he  lost  his  life.  Vrof.  Newton  was  a  mati 
of  great  sensitiveness,  modest,  chiefly  thnuchtful  of 
what  he  had  to  do,  not  of  what  would  sccme  to  him- 
self, and  had  the  temperament  of  one  who  would 
have  won  for  himself  a  distingtiished  place  amon^ 
the  men  who  are  trying  to  learn  the  material  histcry 
of  the  world-

given  in  marriage  to  Thomas  Smothers ;  William 
Lindsey  espoused  Sarah  Smothers,  and  after  the 
death  of  the  latter  married  Bettie  Smothers ;  Ellen 
Lindsey  was  married  to  Isaac  Smothers,  and  Buford 
Lindsey  married  Rebecca  Smothers.  It  isn't  often

JUDGESHIP. 

?  Habeisbueq,  Aug.  20.— The  Democratic 
dazis  are  here,  and  the  scattering  shots  of  the 
aUrmisbers  maybe  beard  by  the  attentive  list- 
ener. The  chief  position  of  aasatilt,  as  might 
he  expected  of  a  poverty-stricken  party,  is  the 
Tpeasnrershi]j,  though,  strange  to  say,  the  num- 
ber of  candidates  for  the  Supreme  Judgeship  is 
the  greatest.  For  the  Treasurersbip  the  promi- 
nent candidates  are  CoL  A.  C.  Novea,  of  Clin- 
ton ;  D.  O.  Barr.  of  Allegheny  ;  J.  F.  Temple, 
of  Greene*  (the  present  Auditor-General,)  be- 
sides Powell,  of  Bradford,  and  Piersol,  of  Phil- 
adelphia. Barr  claims  a  sufficient  number  of 
delegates  to  nominatehim,  but  his  nomination  is 
not  assured,  as  his  friends  are  fearful  that  if  he 
la  given  the  prize  the  anti-CsthoUc  element  of 
the  party  wVl  cut  him,  while  on  the  otitier  hand 
it  is  feared  if  he  is  slaughtered  because  of  his 
religions  faith  the  Catholics  will  rebeL  Such  is 
the  position  to-night  on  the  State  Treasurer- 
ship.  CoL  Noyes,  of  Clinton,  is  Barr's  strongest 
Opponent,  and  the  convention  could  make 
a  much  worse  choice  than  tb  e  amiable 
and  warm-hearted  gentleman  from  Clin- 
ton. He  is  onk  of  tl^e  "wheel-horses" 
of  the  DemocracvJ  in  the  Keystone  State, 
and  deserves  some  recognition  at  the  hs^nds 
of  his  party.  The  next  few  hours  may  develop 
a  compromise  between  the  chiefs  of  the  conteno- 
ing  factions  which  will  obviate  a  strujrgle  on 
the  religious  issue.  For  Auditor-General  there 
is  not  enough  of  a  contest  to  deserve  men- 
tion. William  P.  ScheU,  of  Bedford,  is 
conceded  on  all  sides  to  have  the  in- 
side track.  Neiman,  of  Northumberland,  and 
Patterson,  of  Philadelphia,  are  mentioned  in 
connection  with  the  office,  but  it  is  a 
mere  mention,  and  when  the  convention 
gets  to  business  these  two  ^nll  be 
speedily  shelved  by  the  man  from 
Bedford.  For  the  Supreme  Judgeship  there  are 
10  candidates  in  the  field.  Judge  Trunkey,  of 
V"enango.  hasthe  strongest  following,  and  while 
his  friends  are  not  exultant,  their  tone  and  de- 
meanor give  assurance  of  confidence  in  their 
candidate's  success.  The  other  gentlemen  men- 
tioned for  the  position  are  Lamberton,  of  Lu- 
seme ;  Clarke,  of  Indiana :  Wilson,  of  Beaver ; 
Golden,  of  Armstrong;  Hadley.  of  Luzemo  ; 
Shenpard,  Otterson,  and  Price,  of  Philadelphia,

,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  Aug.  20.— Mr  Frank 
Skarda.  nominee  of  the  working  men  for  Liou- 
tenant-Gfovemor  in  this  State,  and  who  carries 
most  of  the  brains  of  the  movement,  was  to-day 
Interviewed  in  regard  to  the  reported  split  in 
his  party.  He  says :  "  There  bos  been  such  an 
attempt  made  by  the  Democrats,  and  persisted 
in  ever  since  we  organized.  They  fear  the  large 
number  of  voters  that  are  being  drawn  off 
from  their  ranks.  This  call  for  a  convention 
for  the  13th  of  September  is  instigated  by 
them,  but  I  don't  fear  anytliing  from  this  move. 
In  regard  to  there  being  dissatisfaction  because 
lawyers  and  editors  have  been  nominated  upon 
otir  ticket,  I  would  say  that  our  meij  do  not 
care,  only  so  the  men  subscribe  to  our  princi- 
ples and  grant  our  demands.  We,  as  a  party, 
are  not  omce-seekers  :  we  simply  seek  our 
rights,  and  there  is  no  jealousy  in  regard  to 
most  of  the  nominees  being  in  the  southern 
part  of  the  State-  We  are  glad  that  the  people 
call  us  communiste,  &c.  That  will  do  us  good. 
The  people  will  see  that  we  are  being,  abused, 
and  will  on  that  account  vote  with  us."  Mr. 
Skarda  is  confident  that  a  lar^e  vote  will  be 
polled. 

BAi^TiMOitE,  Aug.  20. — ^The  city  convention 
of  the  Working  Men's  Partv  held  its  tirst  meet- 
ing this  evening,  and  effected  a  permanent  or- 
ganization by  ejecting  officers,  appointing  f  oin- 
mittees,  and  adopting  the  platform  of  principles 
proposed  at  the  previous  ma;*s-meeting.  Alliho 
waras  ol  the  city  were  regularly  represented  by 
delegates  except  the  Fourth,  and  the  meeting 
was  very  enthusiastic  and  largely  attended. 
Speeches  were  made  declaring  that  the  working 
men  had  arisen  to  emancipate  themselves  from 
a  worse  slavery  than  the  negroes  ever  suffered, 
and  that  they  could  only  accomplish  this  by  in- 
dependent political  organization.  It  was  claimed 
that  this  is  a  political  revolution,  and  that  it 
will  (Overthrow  the  oppression  uf  laboring  men 
by  the  moneyed  classes  by  forcinjr  the  holders 
of  tJnited  States  bonds  to  immediately  accept 
their  redemption  In  greenbacks  at  their  face 
value.  The  officers  elected  were  required  to 
pledge  themselves  publicly  to  sever  all  connec- 
tion with  any  other  political  party. 
A  resolution  was  adopted'  that  the 
Working  Men's  Party  will  not  accept 
any  proposition  or  compromise  from  any  other 
political  organization  to  support -or  indorse  its 
candidates.  It  was  also  resolved  to  make  nom- 
inations for  all  the  municipal  offices  to  he  tilled 
this  year.  An  effort  to  have  the  candidates  se- 
lected entirely  from  the  ranks  of  laborers  was 
defeated,  on  the  ground  that  It  would  drive 
away  store-keei>ers.  small  dealers,  and  others 
who  now  sympathized  with  the  movement. 
Some  members  of  the  convention  seemed  to 
think  that  the  platform  was  too  radical,  and  de 
sired  its  amendment,  but  the  majority  was 
against  them.  Provision  was  made  foi*  consti- 
tuting the  ttsual  party  machinery  for  nominate 
ing  candidates.  Prominent  men  among  the 
leaders  say  there  are  now  12,000  names  signed 
to  the  rolls  in  the  city. 

ITSE  FIFTS  DISTBICT  REPUBLICANS, 

tUSrVESTIGATINQ  THE  CHARGES  AGAINST  MR. 
AUSTIN  LEAKE  —  HOW  APPOINTMENTS 
WERE   MADE   BY   HIK. 

The  special  committee  appointed  by  the  Fifth 
Assembly  District  Republican  Associatloa,  to  investi- 
gate certain  charges  made  acr&inst  its  Presifienc,  Mr. 
Anstin  Leake,  met  last  xiigbt  at  No.  217  Spring- 
street,  to  take  the  evidence  o<  wiimesses.  The  com- 
mittoe  is  as  follows :  Messrs.  Eugene  'Ward,  Abra- 
ham Lent,  Daniel  Mooaey,  Charles  Lyncli,  and  G. 
W.  Betts,  Secretary.  All  were  present.  Some  eight 
or  nine  distinct  charges  were  made,  covering  mls&p- 
IRVpriattons  of  the  f  onds  and  effects  of  the  associa- 
tion, and  certain  improper  appointments  to  office. 
The  latter  were  investigated  last  night,  the  former 
being  put  over  till  the  next  meeting  owing  to  absence 
of  witnesses.  Proceedings  should  have  opened  at  8 
o'clock,  but  the  committee  waited  until  8:30.  vainly 
hoping  that  the  principal  person  concerned  would 
pat  in  an  appearance.  '  It  becoming  evident  that  he 
would  not,  3£r.  Abraham  Lent,  who  throughout  the 
prooeedings  showed  a  strong  bias  in  favor  of  Mr. 
Leake,  T>ro];>osed  to  pat  over  the  hearing  until  nert 
week.  To  this  it  woa  replied  that  Mr.  Leake  had 
been  twice  notLded,  and  two  adjournments  already 
had  because  of  his  absence,  and  the  business  had  gone 
Car  enoogh.  Mr.  Lent's  motion  was  voted  down,  4 
to  1.  Evidence  on  charges  one,  two.  three,  four,  five, 
and  the  lost  on  the  list  was  then  taken.  The  chaiges 
related  to  appointments  to  office,  and  were 
bHvial  affairs ;  the  last  was  that  the  President 
had  removed  the  ftimitnre  of  the  association 
to  his  place  at  Bockaway,  for  his  private  use 
there.  It  was  proved  that  a  certain  3iLr.  Kelly  had 
been  appoiated  bv  Mr.  Leake  to  the  place  of 
ftenogrspher  in  Judge  Parker's  conrt,  the  &aid  Kelly 
not  wing  a  resident  of  the  Aiwembiy  District-  It 
was  proved  that  one  Reagan  had  also  been  appointed 
as  court  officer  in  the  same  court,  Reagan  being  an 
active.  Democrat.  The  third  charge  was  as  to 
the  appointment  of  one  Moncrieu  to  a  place 
In  the  Custom-hoose.  A  long  controversy 
took  i^Uboe  on  the  sabj  ect  of  this  indi- 
vidual's politlea,  it  being  proved  that  at  one  time 
Iw  had  been  a  Democrat  and  at  another  a 
Heimblica^and  neither  long.  The  only  conclasion 
to  be  deri\Wl  from  the  evidence  was  that  the  versa- 
tile appolnt«e  was  of  that  class  of  politicians  who  go 
"  on  an  aides  which  ^ve  places  or  pelf. "  bat  are  con- 
aistent  to  one  party — themselves.  This  being  ascer- 
tained, the  fourth  charge  was  taken  up,  via.,  whether 
Moncrieff  had  not  agreed  to  pay  $5  monthly  to  Mr. 
Leake  in  conaidarution  of  the  i^ipointment.  On  this 
point,  it  waa  ahown  that  he  had  not  agreed  to  pay 
that  amount  to  the  President  nersonaUy,  but  to  the 
aaaodAtibn.  It  waa  further  shown  that  Moncrieff 
bad  never  paid  a  dollar  to  the  association 
or  ita  President,  so  that  he  was  sharp  enough 
to  get  the  i^jpointment  on  a  promise  which 
he  never  kept.  The  evidence  altogether  seemed 
to  show  that  In  this  case  Mr.  Leake  was 
not  a  rogue,  ooly  a  fooL  The  fifth  charge  related 
to  th«  appointment  of  a  man  to  a  place  in  the  Poet 
Office  who  resided  in  MjuilLattanviilft.  bat  the  wit- 
DMsea  not  being  present,  the  matter  was  laid  over.

BOWIXa  ON  THE  HABLEM EIVEB, 


ANNUAL  REGATTA  OF  TEEE  NONPAREIL  CLUB — 
POUR  EVENTS  DECIDED — THE  WINNERS  IN 
EACH  CONTEST. 
The  annual  regatta  of  the  Nonpareil, Rowing 
Club,  an  association  of  oarsmen  composed  exclusively 
of  compositors  employed  on  some  of  the  morning 
papers,  took  place  yesterday  afternoon  on  the  Harlem 
River.  About  400  friends  of  the  club  witnessed 
the  races  from-  the  decks  of  the  steamboat  Fort 
Lee,  on  which  they  embarked  from  the  Toot  of  Beek- 
man-street,  foot  of  East  Twenty-thlrd-street,  and  at 
Harlem  Bridge.  Several  of  the  local  rowing  clubs 
were  represented  on  board.  There  was  an  evident 
lack  of  eood  management  on  the  part  of  the  Regatta 
Committee  and  the  Committee  of  Arrangements,  who 
were  instrumental  in  marring  the  pleasure  of  the  oc- 
casion by  their  disregard  of  punctuality  in  starting 
for  the  course  and  in  calling  the  crews.  The 
programme  was  mede  up  of  five^vents.  the  first  being 
a  contest  between  four  crews  in  palroared  gigs,  for  a 
prize  presented  by  Mr.  James  Knott  The  entries 
were:  Crew  No.  1.  (white,)  A.  A.  Mohr,  D.  Kells, 
and  Charles  E.  Gatter,  (coxswain  :)  No.  2.  (gray,)  D. 
Mnnro,  J.  S.  O'Sullivan,  and  Alfred  Browne,  (cox- 
swain ;  No.  3.  (blue  and  white.)  J.  D.  Beers,  J. 
McKibbin.  and  J.  Dutton,  (coxswain  ;)  No.  -4.  (blue.) 
W.  K.  Kent,  J.  B.  Couch,  and  J.  Hiney,  (coxswain.) 
Mr.  David  Roach,  of  the  Dauntless  Rowing  Club, 
acted  as  referee  and  starter,  and  Mr.  Charles  Ear- 
wicker,  of  the  Gramercy  Boat  Club,  as  time-keeper. 
The  course  lay  straiirht  away  for  a  mile,  between  the 
milroad  bri'ige  aijd  Macomb's  Dam  Bridge,  the  start 
being  made  from  below.  \STien  the  signal  to  start 
waa  given  the  Whites  were  the  first  to  get  to  work, 
maintaining  a  slight  lead  for  about  50  yards,  when 
the  blues  snot  a  boat's  length  ahead.  The  grays  and 
the  white  and  blues,  making  a  spurt,  caught  up  to 
the  whites,  and,  while  the  blues  increased  their  lead 
several  lengths,  the  whites  fell  considerably  in  the 
rear  and  made  no  further  e£fort  to  gain  a  decent  po- 
sition. The  blues  maintained  a  good  lead  through- 
out, and  won  the  race  in  7m,  oOa.  The  grays 
passed  the  flag  second,  the  blue  and  whites  getting  in 
third.  The  second  race  advertised  on  the  programme, 
between  four-oared  gigs,  did  not  come  o£^  owing 
to  the  inability  of  tf.  B.  Couch,  member  of  the  vic- 
torious crew  in  the  first  contest,  to  row  again.  The 
third  event  was  a  match  between  four-oared  glg3, 
over  the  same  course,  for  gold  badges.  The  compet- 
ing crews  were  :  No.  1.  (blue,)  J.  D.  Beers,  (bow.)  J, 
Lynas,  W.  McKibbin.  George  Johnson,  (stroke, )  and 
J.  Hiney,  (coxswain;)  >to.  2,  (gray,)  J.  Dutton, 
(bow.)  James  S.  O'Sullivan,  J.  P.  Shackelton, 
D.  Monro.  (Stroke.)  and  Alfred  Browne.  (Cox- 
.•rwain.  I  The  grays  took  the  lead  at  the  start, 
and  kept  It  throughout,  winning  by  about  three 
lengths  in  7m.  25s.  The  fourth  race  was  between 
single  sculls  rowed  by  W.  R.  Kent,  (blue,)  6.  W. 
Johnson,  (bine  and  white,)  and  D.  Munro,  (gray.) 
'The  prize  awarded  was  a  championship  gold  badge

rowed  over.  Kent  led  from  the  start.  Johnson  re- 
m.ain'ing  a  few  lengths  behind  liim.  and  keeping  about 
30  yards  ahead  of  ?ltIuuro.  When  Kent  passed  the 
flag  Johuson  was  only  one  length  behind  him.  The 
former's  time  was  7m.  25s.  The  regatta  terminated 
with  a  awiniming  match  between  A.  A.  Mohr  and  X.

was  the  victor  in  7m. 


*' BLACK-MAILING"  A  RAILROAD, 


A  RECEIVER  ASKED  FOR  THE  HANNIBAL  AND 
ST.  JOSEPH  LINE — CONDITION  OF  THE 
company's  BCSINESS.  ■ 

Reports  were  current  on  the  street  yesterday 
morning  that  an  application  was  about  to  be  made 
for  a  Receiver  of  thu  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  Rail- 
road Company,  and  the  price  of  the  stock  fell  off 
rapidly  in  consequence.  President  Richardson,  of  the 
company,  said  that  the  reports  were  true  in  this,  that 
notice  bad  been  ser^'ed  on  the  officers  of  the  road  at 
St.  Joseph,  by  Wells  Uendershott,  a  lawyer  of  that 
city,  in  behalf  of  L.  W.  Morse,  also  a  resident  of  that 
place.  The  appliivition  was  to  have  been  made  yes- 
terday in  the  Circuit  Court  at  Kingston,  CaldweU 
County,  which  Mr.  Richardson  described  as  a  small 
town,  10  miles  from  railroad  or  telegraphic  commu- 
nication, and  accessible  only  by  wagons.  The  plain- 
tiff's f»apers  apply  for  an  injunction  restraining  the 
company  from  rurther  operating  tho  road  or  dispos- 
iiii;  of  anv  of  its  propt* rty.  and  tor  the  appointment 
of  a  Receiver.  They  aUeiiw.  that  the  debt 
of  the  company  is  over  $1*4,000,000 ;  that  in 
1S71  the  stock  sold  at  119  per  .share,  and  that  at 
present  it  seUs  at  only  $10  per  share  for  common 
and  $'2t>  per  share  for  preferred ;  that  the  failure  of 
the  road  to  pay  further  dividends  out  of  its  net  earn- 
inirs  is  due  to  tho  reckleita  expenditures  and  gross 
mismanagement  of  its  present  oflBcers.  and  sveveral 
incidents  of  alleged  coiruption  and  malfeasan''e  are 
cited.  Mr.  Richardson  says  that  the  plaintiff.  Morse, 
was  formerly  in  the  employ  of  the  company  as  pay- 
master, and  is  a  defaulter  in  over  $2,700.  One  week 
ago  he  had  100  shares  placed  to  his  credit  on  the 
books  of  the  company,  evidently  for  the  pumoses  of 
the  present  suit.  3It.  Richardson  says  that  since  the 
deci!:^ion  in  the  $4,000,000  land  grant  trust  suit  In 
favor  of  the  company,  six  weeks  ago,  he  has  been 
overrun  by  persons  and  letters  endeavoring  to  black- 
mail the  company,  and  the  reason  of  the  present  suit 
Is.  thiit  he  treated  all  such  attempts  as  they  deserved. 
He  officially  characterizes  Mr.  Morse's  application  as 
pure,  unadulterated  bluck-mail,  and  says  that  steps 
are  to  be  taken  to  have  him  arrested  on 
a  criuiinal  ebargo  at  once.  Mr.  Richardson 
adds,  in  conclusion,  that  the  company  has  not  de- 
faulted on  any  of  its  obligations.  The  last  annual 
statement  shows  the  total  of  stocks  and  bonds  to  be 
.$22,051,724,  of  which  the  bonded  debt  foots  up 
$8,700,000.  The  road  operated  is  296.5  miles  long, 
and  is  fully  equipped.  .  The  net  eamSnifs  for  the  year 
ending  Aug.  31.  1876,  were  $470,253  74.  and  for 
the  four  montns  ending  Dec.  31. 1876.  $215,552  33. 
The  net  earnings  go  toward  payment  of  the  interest 
on  bonds,  which  amounts  to  .$660,000  per  year.  The 
tloating  debt  is  "  about "  $219,971  11.  The  follow- 
ing are  the  assets  as  furnished  by  Mr.  Richardson : 

Land-^rant  notes  or  mortgages $2, "^00,000 

About  lOO.OOO  acres  of  land,  averago  sales 
in  these  depressed  times  about  $12per  acre, 

say 1,200.000 

The  company  owns  the  bridge  at  Kansas  City, 
which  cost  $1,600,000.  and  is  clear— no  bonds  on  it. 
We  also  own  the  entire  approach  to  this  bridge — 
tho  one  at  Atchison  and  St.  Josetrb.  On  the  above 
wo  receive  a  royalty  of  over  $80,000  per  year. 
The  company  no*  has  the  use  of  elevator 
at  St.  .Joseph,  and  will  have  the  use  of  tho  one 
erecdng  at  Hannibal  about  Sent.  1.  The  one  at  Kan- 
sas City  is  progressing  favorably-  Our  freight  agent 
estimates  that  these  elevators  will  be  worth  at  least 
$200. 000  per  year  to  the  road  It  has  paid  off  all  its  le- 
gal claims  as  called  upon  to  date,  and  has  this  season 
put  down  2.000  tons  of  steel  rails,  with  new  ties, 
and  eipect  to  lay  3,000  tons  more  during  the  year  ; 
has  also  renewed  a  large  amount  of  rolling  stock. 
Mr.  Richardson  felt  confident  that  the  road  is  in  a 
condition  to  earn  a  dividend  for  its  shareholders 
after  providing  for  all  its  obligations.  The  earnings 
for  the  months  of  April.  May,  and  June  show  an  in- 
crease of  $83,846  36.  The  business  at  present  is 
large  and  the  outlook  very  satisfactory.  A  -dispatch 
received  at  thfr  company's  office  late  yesterday  after- 
noon says  the  hearing  on  the  application  has  been 
postponed  until  Sept.  3.

Boston  as  follows : 

The  letter  of  your  Special  Depnty  of  the  13th  imt 
ie  received,  in  ^yhicli  ho  Incites  one  from  United 
States  District  Attorney  SAnser,  upon  the  subject  of 
sugars  artlfldally  colored.  The  instructions  to  you 
of  the  2d  iust.  were  that,  in  any  case  where  it  was 
found  that  sugar  had  been  purged  by  the  centrifugal 
or  other  process,  and  had  been  subsequently  colored 
by  the  addition  of  foreign  Bubstanceit,  a  duty  of 
15  cents  per  pound  would  be  imposed  under 
Schedule  G  of  the  Revised  Statutes.  That  duty  is 
only  applicable  to  sugars  which  have  been  colored, 
tinctored,  or  in  any  way  adulterated  after  being  re- 
fined, and  the  question  is  raised  whether  sugars  which 
have  been  merely  purged  by  the  centrifugal  or  other 

Brocess  can,  in  view  of  the  decision  of  the  United 
tates  Supreme  Court  in  the  case  of  the  Barlow  claim- 
ant. (7  Peters.  20-1,)  be  considered  refined  sugars. 
Waving  consideration  of  that  question.  It  is  deemed 
proper  to  refer  to  the  clause  in  the  Revised  Statutes 
which  imposes  15  cents  per  pound  duty  on  colored 
sugars.  Three  paragraphs  in  schedule  Q  read  as  fol- 
lows : 

Sugar  candy,  not  colored,  10  cents  only,  per  pound 
and  all  other  confectionery  not  otherwise  provined  for, 
made  wholly  or  lu  part  of  sugars,  and  on  sugar  after 
being  leflned,  when  tinctured,  colored,  or  in  any  way 
adolterated,  valued  at  30  .cents  per  pound,  or  less,  15 
cents  per  pound.  Confectionery  valued  above  30  cents 
per  potmd,  or  when  sold  by  the  box,  package,  or  other- 
wise than  by  the  pound,  5U  per  centum  ad  valorem. 

The  term  "  sugar"  is  thus  used  In  connection  with 
candy  and  other  confectionery,  and  refers  .only  to  an 
aritcle  which  may  have  a  value  of  30  cents  per  pound. 
The  value  of  30  cents  per  pound  Is  made  the  dividing 
line  between  the  duty  of  lo  cents  per  pound  and  50 
per  cent  ad  valorem,  and  the  provision  of  law  re- 
ferred to  was  probably  framed  to  prevent  the  intro- 
duction of  candy  or  confectionery  under  some  other 
name  at  a  less  rate  of  duty.  The  department  is  there- 
fore of  opinion  that  the  provision  of  law  which  im- 
poses 15  cents  per  pound  duty  on  sugars  after 
being  reiined,  when  tinctured,  colored,  or  in 
any  way  adulterated,  is  not  applicable 
to  the  class  of  sugars  under  consideration.  The 
practice  of  coloring  sugars  by  any  foreign  sub- 
stance for  the  purpose  of  reducing  the  grade  accord- 
ing to  the  Dutch  standard,  and  thereby  securing  their 
entry  at  the  Custom-house  at  a  lower  rate  of  duty 
than  would  be  charged  upon  their  true  color,  is  un- 
doubtedly an  evasion  of  the  true  intent  of  the  law. 
In  the  case  of  the  United  States  against  certain  sugar 
of  which  the  San  Francisco  and  Pacillc  Sugar  Com- 
pany were  claimants,  which  was  tried  in  18 lO,  It  waa 
held  that  this  word  "  color"  in  the  Tariff  act  as  ap- 
plied to  sugars  must  be  understood  to  mean  thf  de- 
gree of  brightness  which  the  sugar  had  attained  in 
the  ordinary  course  of  its  manufacture,  and  that  if 
this  l>e  afterward  changed  artificially,  the  hue  so 
acquired  cannot  be  considered  the  color  referred  to 
by  Congress  as  a  standard  for  duties. 

In  view  of  all  the  facts  now  presented  the  depart- 
ment directs  that  on  importations  of  sugar  which 
shall  be  found  to  have  been  srtiflcially  colored  after 
mauttfacture.  the  sauniles  taken  shall  be  cleansed  of 
their  artificial  color,  and  that  the  dut^-  shall  be  as- 
sessed upon  the  true  color  so  ascertained-  Certain 
sugars  were  detained  by  the  Customs  ofBcera  at  New- 
York  in  January  last  which  for  a  time  were  believed 
to  have  been  artiflcially  colored,  but  were  subse- 
quently delivered  upon  the  opinion  of  the  District 
Attorney  that  no  fraud  on  the  revenue  had  been  com- 
mitted, as  the  coloring  matter  was  found  to  be 
merely  caromel  or  burned  sugar,  and  was  therefore 
not  a  foreign  substance.  This  department,  how- 
ever, made  no  decision  upon  the  question,  aud  It 
now  deems  it  its  duty  to  inform  oil  parties  that  the 
importation  of  sugars  artificially  colored  for  the  pur- 
pose of  securing  their  entry  at  the  Custom-house  at 
a  lower  rate  of  duty  than  would  be  charged  upon  the 
color  attained  in  the  ordinary  nrocess  of  manufac- 
ture is  regarded  as  a  direct  evasion  of  the  revenue 
laws,  and  all  importations  of  that  character  made 
into  the  United  States  on  and  after  the  let  of  Octo- 
ber next  will  be  seized,  and  prosecuted  for  forfeiture. 

<  AFFAIRS  IN  CHINA. 
AN    IMPERIAL    EDICT    AGAINST    THE    USE    OT 
OPIUM — THE    POETS    EECENTLT    OPENED 
TO  FOREIGN  TKADE — ABBIVAL  OF  UININO 
MACHINEBY  PROM  ENGLAND. 

Washington,  Aug.  20. — The  United 
States  Minister  to  China  has  transmitted  to  the 
Deoartment  of  State  a  copy  of  an  edict  issued 
by  the  Imperial  Qovemment  against  the  use  of 
opium,  on  the  repre.sencation  of  the  Alinister  of 
China  in  London  that  its  use  was  bringing  de- 
struction upon  the  Chinese  people.  From  this 
edict  it  appears  that,  notwithstanding  the 
strict  laws  forbidding  the  use  of  opium  by  the 
ofQcials,  gentry,  and  soldiers,  its  use  is  extend- 
ing day  by  day,  and  its  terrible  results  are  ex- 
tending in  the  same  ratio.  The  United  States 
Minister  thinks  that  rigoroua  efforts  might 
limit  the  cultivation  of  the  poppy  in  China, 
which  is  increasing  rapidly,  and  the  use  of  the 
drug  by  officials,  gentry,  and  soldiers,  but  does 
not  think  that  more  than  this  need  be  expected. 
In  addition  to  the  home  production,  opium  ia 
imported  into  China  to  the  annual  value  of 
over  $40,000,000.  principallv  from  BritiBh 
India.  More  than  $1,000,000  worth  is  annu- 
ally imported  into  Califomia  for  the  use  of  the 
'  Chinese  in  that  State. 

Another  diupatch  from  the  same  source  re- 
ports that  machinery  has  arrived  from  England 
for  the  working  of  the  coal  mines  near  Keeinng, 
Formosa ;  that  engineers  have  been,  sent  to  con- 
struct a  telegraph  line  from  that  port  to  Tai- 
wan-Foo,  and  that  an  expert  has  T^en  sent  to 
the  United  States  to  report  upon  and  develop 
the  oil  resources  of  the  island. 

Prom  recent  advices  received  at  the  State  De- 
partment from  China  it  appears  that  the  ports 
opened  to  foreign  trude  under  the  Chefoo  Con- 
vention have  not  so  far  answered  to  the  expec- 
tations of  the  mercantile  communities.  The 
cause  of  this  is  attributed  to  the  fact  that  the 
native  dealers  are  tending  more  and  more  to  go 
to  Shanghai  to  make  their  purchases,  availing 
themselves  only  of  the  machinery  of  steamer 
transports  to  lay  down  their  goods  at  their  own 
place  of  trade.  Wonchon  is  the  only  one  of  the 
newly  opened  ports  where  any  foreign  houses 
have  been  established.  It  is  thought  that  Iwth 
this  place  and  Wuhu  might  be  made  places  of 
considerable  trade  if  foreign  energy  and  capital 
were  brought  to  bear  upon  their  development.

LUIOO  TAKAMOVI  SCOENPULLT  BEJEOTS 
OVEBTUEES  FOB  PEACE — A  FREE  CBITI- 
CISM  OP  JAPANESE  GOVEBKUENT. 
Washington,  Aug.  20. — A  dispatch  has 
been  received  at  the  Department  of  State  from 
the  United  States  Minister  to  Japan,  containing 
copies  of  correspondence  between  Admiral  Ker- 
vamura.  Acting  Minister  of  the  Navy,  and 
Luigo  Tahamovi,  leader  of  the  Satsunm  rebels. 
The  Admiral,  after  recounting  the  evils  of  the 
rebeUion,  and  the  impossibility  of  saceeeding 
against  the  constituted  aothorities,  offers,  if 
Luigo  and  his  army  will  lay  down  their  arms, 
repent  of  their  errors,  and  return  to  duty,  to  in- 
tercede with  the  Government  for  theirpardon  and 
Luigo's  restoration  to  rank  and  honor  again. 
Luigo,  who  held  the  rank  of  Marshal  in  the 
Imperial  Army  previous  to  his  revolt,  recounts 
the  causes  which  drove  him  and  his  army  into 
rebeUion,  scomfully  rejects  all  overtures,  look- 
ing to  peace  until  the  enemies  of  right  and^ 
justice  who  surround  and  mislead  the  Kmperor* 
are  pnnished,  and  says  that  the  imperial  Army 
are  in  reality  rebels  emploved  by  nie  treacher- 
ous servants  about  his  Majesty  to  prevent  the 
establishment  of  right  and  justice ;  that  when 
the  criminal  code  is  mockery  and  the  law 
powerless,  wrong  and  right  lose  their  proper 
meaning  and  become  confused ;  that  they  feel 
fully  capable  of  continuing  the  war ;  that  the 
mere  assertion  of  the  Admiral's  proposal  to  ask 
for  their  pardon  only  angers  them,  because 
they  all  know  how  to  die  for  a  great  cause,  and 
cannot  be  moved  from  their  purpose  by  any  re- 
gard for  life  or  death ;  and  end  by  telling  the 
Admiral  that  thev  will  refuse  to  reoeiTe  any 
more  letters  from  nim.

THE  CHAUTAUQUA  ASSEMBLY. 

LAST  DAT  OP  THE  SUNDAT-SOHOOL  CONVEN- 
TION— LECTUEES  BY  EEV.  DBS.  ABBOTT 
AND  DEEMS. 

Faib  Point,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  20.— This  ia  the 
last  day  of  the  Chauteuqua  Sunday-school  As- 
sembly. At  8:30  o'clock  this  morning  Dr.  Vin- 
cent presided  over  a  conference  on  the  Interna- 
tional Lesson  system.  At  this  conference  290 
schools  wore  represented.  At  1 1  o'clock  Rev. 
Lyman  Abbott,  D.  D.,  of  New- York,  lectured 
on  "Why  Do  I  Teach  Sunday-School" 
At  2  o'clock  Rev.  C.  P.  Deems,  D.  D.,  of  New- 
York,  lectured  on  **  The  Bible  and  Modem 
Science."  The  Doctor  stated  that  he  was  not 
a  teacher  or  student  of  modem  science  further 
than  to  possess  the  general  knowledge  pos- 
sessed by  scholars.  The  Bible  was  an  illustra- 
tion of  the  principle  of  survival  of  the  fittest. 
One  unavoidably  assumes  that  all  things  had  a 
beginning ;  evolution  itself  assumes  this. 
We  should  all  studv  nature  and  the 
Bible  thoroughly.  £very  man  should 
say,  '■  Who  is  afraid  r'  It  is  good 
to  learn  to  sleep  when  the  clock  ticks  or  when 
cats  howl  on  the  fence.  The  believer  in  the 
Bible  should  never  fear  scientific  facta.  Such 
investigators  as  Tyndall  and  Huxley  should 
have  tho  largest  liberty  in  the  pursuit  of  scien- 
tific truth.  Preachera  should  not  speak  indec- 
orously of  these  men ;  neither  should  students 
of  theology  be  sneered  at.  They  must  also  be 
allowed  to  pursue  their  ijivestigations.  There 
are  as  many  changes  in  the  readings  of  the 
rocks  as  in  the  readings  of  tho  roots.  The  Gos- 
pel of  Jesus  Christ  hangs  on  something  more 
solid  than  the  centre  of  tho  material  svs- 
tern.  The  grave  question  of  modem  thought 
is  this :  How  are  men  of  science  to 
reconcile  their  ideas  with  established  religious 
truth  i  In  all  researches  it  will  be  found  that 
all  true  religion  and  all  true  science  agree.  In 
his  argument  on  creation  Tyndall  says  :  "  All 
life  must  be  the  issue  of  antecedent  life."  Il- 
lustrating another  point.  Prof.  Proctor  claims 
that  this  month  the  constellation  of  the  Dipper 
will  be  broken  up.  The  Bible  says:  "The 
heavens  are  waxing  old  as  a  garment."  The 
lecture  was  listened  to  with  great  satisfaction 
by  Professors  of  science  and  theology  on  the 
platform  and  in  the  audience. 

At  5  o'clock  this  afternoon  Rev.  Dr.  Lyman 
Abbott  answered  questions  concerning  the  Bible 
in  the  pavilion.  At  7  o'clock  the  children's 
final  review  vas  held  by  Rev.  B.  T.  Vincent,  of 
Mauch  Chunk,  Penn.  At  8  o'clock  Rev.  J.  H. 
Vincent,  D.  D.,  delivered  an  address  on  the  fu- 
ture work  of  Chautauqua.  Men  need  to 
think  as  well  as  work  for  personal 
enjoyment  as  well  as  utility,  and  it 
was  intended  that  Cbautauoua  should 
b&  a  college  or  school  for  such  people  as  should 
come  under  its  influence.  Next  year  there  would 
be  a  lecture  on  English  history  and  astronomy 
in  addition  to  the  usual  educational  features. 
There  would  also  be  a  big  hotel,  and  a  good  one ; 
a  children's  pavilion,  an  Alumni  pavilion,  a  min- 
isters' retreat,  an  immense  inclosed  auditorium, 
Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  and  other  State  buildings, 
&c  Brief  addre-sses  were  delivered  by  Rev. 
Mr.  Curling,  of  Cleveland ;  Rev.  James  E.  Gil- 
bert, of  Lexington,  Ky.,  Superintendent  of  the 
Loveland  Encampment;  Rev.  Lyman  Abbott, 
D.  D.,  of  New- York ;  Prof.  McCosh,  of  Prince- 
ton ;  C.  B.  Stout,  of  New-Jersey,  and  Rev.  Dr. 
Deems,  of  New- York. ' 

OSEAT  TBMPERANCL  REVIVAL. 
EoNDOUT,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  20.— The  great 
temperance  movement  in  this  the  lower  portion 
of  the  city  of  Kingston,  exceeds  anything  ever 
before  known  here.  The  movement  commenced 
with  a  prayer-meeting  in  the  Rondout  Metho- 
dist Episcopal  Church  on  Friday  morning,  Aug. 
10.  At  that  meeting  J.  C.  Gobright,  one  of 
Murphy's  missionaries,  led  the  meeting,  and 
69  names  were  signed  to  the  Murphy  pledge, 
and  that  number  of  blue  ribbons  donned. 
The  succeeding  Sunday  an  afternoon 
meeting  was  held,  at  which  211  signed. 
This  has  been  followed  by  meetings  every  even- 
ing, and  up  to  Sunday  afternoon  1,264  names 
had  been  signed,  513  of  whom  were  a€&xed  on 
Saturday  and  Sunday.  The  movement  takes  in 
all  classes,  and  so  far  from  diminishing  in  vol- 
ume, is  increasing  every  day,  so  that  an  extra 
hall  has  been  secured  to  provide  for  overflow 
meetings.  A  ladies'  committee  has  been  at 
work,  and  a  score  of  young  men  are  actively  en- 
gaged, and  the  leader  now  counts  on  securing 
5,000  signatures  to  the  Murphy  pledge.  Tem- 
perance reading-rooms  and  refreshment  saloons 
are  projected,  and  means  for  clothing  reformed 
inebriates  are  to  be  provided,  together;  with  a 
considerable  sum  of  money.  Altogether  this  is 
the  largest  tidal  wave  in  the  temperance  line 
that  Rondout  has  ever  seen,  and  it  embracea  all 
classes  of  temperance  workers.

SUICIDE  OF  A  NOTORIOUS  CRIMINAL. 
DKATH  or  A  KATITK  OP  POBT  JXBVIS  IN  AN 

CKOUSE  JAU.— HIB  BIICABKABUB  CABEBR. 

Poet  Jervis,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  20.— News  has 
been  received  here  of  the  death  by  suicide  of  a 
young  German  named  Frank  Kahler  in 
Plymontb  Jail,  England,  where  he  was  confined 
on  a  charge  of  murder.  Kahler  was  a  native  of 
this  place,  near  which  his  parents  still  reside, 
and,  although  bat  24  years  old,  had  been  a  no- 
torious criminal  from  a  child.  "He  bad  been  in 
prison  several  times,  and  at  the  time  of  his 
death  was  an  escaped  Sing  Sing  convict  His 
career  had  been  a  remarkable  one.  In  January, 
1873,  he,  vrith  several  others,  was  arrested  in 
this  place  on  a  charge  of  burglary.  There  had 
been  a  large  number  of  skillful  and  bold  rob- 
beries committed  in  this  place  and  vicinity  for 
some  months,  but  the  perpetrators  succeeded  In 
eluding  the  Police  nntil  Eahler's  connection 
with  the  crimes  was  accidentally  discovered. 
In  February  he  pleaded  guilty  of  the  charge 
against  him  with  the  expectation  of  escaping 
with  a  light  sentence.  Judge  Fullerton,  how- 
ever, sentenced  him  to  five  years  in  Sing  Sing. 
Upon  entering  that  prison  Kahler  was  pnt  to 
work  in  the  cooper  shop.  He  made  several  at- 
tempts to  escape,  but  >  was  not  successful 
until  the  16th  of  June,  1873.  He 
was  at  work  heading-up  barrels  near  the 
prison  dock,  where  a  barge  was  loading.  At 
his  request  a  fellow-convict  succeeded  in  head- 
ing him  up  in  a  barrel  without  being  discovered. 
The  barrel  was  loaded  upon  the  barge,  which' 
sailed  away  toward  evening.  It  anchored  off 
Tarrytown  that  night,  and  at  midnight  Kahler 
knocked  the  head  out  of  the  barrel  and  jumped 
into  the  river.  He  svram  to  the  east  shore,  and 
proceeding  inland  two  miles,  gained  an  entrance 
into  a  farm-house.  There  he  stole  a  suit  of 
clothes,  threw  off  his  prison  suit,  which  he  left 
at  the  house,  and  returned  to  the  Hud- 
son River  Railroad,  on  which  he  stole 
a  ride  to  New- York.  He  returned  to  Port 
Jervis.  where  he  remained  concealed  for  some 
time.  When  discovered  he  fled,  and  at  Callicoon 
was  arrested,  but  escaped  from  the  officers,  swam 
the  Delaware  River,  and  eluded  pursuit  in  the 
foreste  of  Pennsylvania.  Shortly  afterward  he 
was  heard  from  at  Montreal,  Canada.  In  the 
Fall  of  1873  he  went  to  Washington  and  en- 
listed in  ^e  Navy.  His  vessel  was  sent  to  join 
the  South  AtUntio  Squadron.  While  enjoying 
a  leave  of  absence  in  Rio  Janeiro,  he  and  four 
others  from  the  vessel  deserted,  and  joined  a 
whaling  crew  about  to  sail  from  that  oort.  They 
were  but  a  few  days  at  sea  when  the  yello-w 
fever  broke  out  on  board  the  ship.  Twelve  of 
the  crew  died  with  it,  and  among  them  were 
EsJiler's  four  fellow-deserters.  To  add  to  the 
terrors  of  the  crew  the  ship  waa  disabled  in  a 
violent  storm,  and  they  were  compelled  to  leave 
her  and  take  to  the  boats.  After  drifting  about 
for  some  days  they  were  picked  up  by  an  Eng- 
lish merchant  vessel,  and  landed  at  Laguna, 
Brazil  Kahler  returned  to  Rio  Janeiro,  and 
subsequently  was  engaged  as  a  mine  superin- 
tendent to  go  to  Ouro  Prete,  in  the  Brazilian 
gold  region.  Kahler  did  not  remain  long  there, 
and  wrote  home  that  he  had  left  because 
he  did  not  like  the  work.  Other  advices  from 
there,  however,  were  that  he  was  detected  in 
robbing  a  miner  of  a  large  amount  of  money ; 
that  he  shot  and  killed  the  man  who  discovered 
him,  and  escaped  from  the  vicinity. 

On  the  17th  of  June,  1874,  the  United  Stetes 
man-of-war  Swatara,  commanded  by  Capt. 
Chandler,  sailed  from  New- York  on  the  ex- 
pedition sent  out  by  the  Government  to  observe 
the  transit  of  Venus.  The  steamer  touched  at 
Bahia,  Brazil,  and  while  there  enlisted  a  num- 
ber of  seamen.  Among  them  was  Frank 
Kahler.  He  remained  with  the  vessel  until 
February,  1876,  going  to  Cape  Town,  Africa, 
the  Kerguelan  Island,  Van  Dieman's  Land,  New- 
Zealand,  Chatham  Island.  theAuckland  Islands, 
and  Melbourne,  Australia.  At  that  place  Kah- 
ler left  the  Swatara,  and  in  a  short  time  was 
heard  from  in  England.  Up  to  January  last  he 
was  at  Manchester,  and  from  all  accounts  was 
living  among  the  worst  criminals.  On  the 
morning  of  Jan.  14,  1877,  a  German  sailor  was 
found  dead  near  Plymouth,  England.  The  back 
part  of  his  bead  was  crushed  in,  and  a  large  stone, 
covered  with  blood,  lay  near  at  hand.  The 
sailor  had  been  murdered  and  robbed.  The 
night  before  he  had  left  a  party  of  sailors  at  a 
dzinldng  place  in  Plymouth,  and  had  been 
followed  by  a  strazigerwho  had  passed  the  even- 
ing in  the  place,  'The  sailor  had  considerable 
money,  and  had  exhibited  it  several  times  in 
the  saloon.  A  search  was  made  for  the  stranger, 
who  waa  found  concealed  in  a  hay-rick,  two 
miles  out  of  Plymouth.  He  was  arrested,  and 
in  his  possession  was  a  quantity  of  gold  coin. 
He  gave  his  name  as  Frank  Kahler,  and  was 
heldto  answer  the  charge  of  murder.  During 
the  interval  between  that  date  and  last  week 
nothing  was  heard  of  Kahler  by  his  friends 
here,  and  the  description  of  the  murderer  and 
circumstances  connected  with  the  crime  left  no 
doubt  that  he  and  Frank  Kahler,  the  escaped 
burglar,  were  one  and  the  same  person.  I'he 
news  of  the  suicide  would  seem  to  confirm  the 
beUef.  _ 

TBE  WRECK  OF  TEESTEAM-SBIP  ETEN 
Panaha,  Aug.-  11. — The  details  of  the 
loss  of  the  Pacific  Steam  Navigation  Company's 
steamer  Eten,  on  the  rocks  Los  Vilos,  near 
Valparaiso,  are  somewhat  amplifled,  but  in  sub- 
stance are  the  same  as  those  communicated  in 
my  last  dispatch.  The  loss  of  life  is  variously 
stated,  probably  reaching  the  number  of  50. 
One  sad  incident  is  that,  while  efforts  were  be- 
ing made  to  rescue  20  of  the  shipwrecked  who 
were  grouped  on  a  rock  500  yards  from-  the 
shore,  the  boate  of  the  vessels  employed  found 
it  to  be  impossible  to  reach  the  survivors,  and 
these,  out  of  pui«  desperation,  threw  them- 
selves into  the  sea  to  escape  further  sufferings 
from  famine  and  thirst.  'The  loss  of  the  steamer 
is  the  first  item  in  a  probably  long  list  to  origi- 
nate from  the  catastrophe  of  May  last.  Cur- 
rents and  consequent  bearings  have  been 
changed  by  that  commotion.  The  Eten  was 
driven  on  the  rocks  while  pursuing  an  excep- 
tionally safe  course,  but  it  was  not  imagined  by 
the  officers  on  board,  all  of  whom  were  well 
acquainted  with  the  coast,  that  greater  caution 
was  necessary.

TBE  PARAOUAT  SILVER  MINES. 

Panama,  Aug  11. — The  Star  and  HeralSa 
Peruvian  correspondent,  writing  from  Lima, 
July  27,  says  of  the  Cerro  de  Pasco  :  "Those 
wonderful  silver  mines  are  destined  to  astonish 
the  world  with  their  production  as  soon  as  the 
machinery,  already  at  hand,  is  placed  in  posi- 
tion. According  to  the  reports  made  by  the 
engineers  in  charge,  the- quantity  of  metallur- 
gic  earth  which  may  be  extracted  from  the 
mines  by  Mr.  Meiggs,  the  contractor,  even  be- 
fore the  submerged  .sbafte  are  drained,  would 
amount  to  over  200,000  tons,  which,  giving  6 
marks  to  the  ton,  would  form  a  sum  sufficient 
to  place  even  a  nation  as  wholly  bankrupt  as 
Paraguay  upon  her  feet  again.

twelfth  lap.  Vandeuhoff  held  the  lead  until  the

ton,  of  Greenpoint.  and  John  Smith,  of  the  Seawan- 
haka  Boat  Club,  all  of  whom  received  3^  minutes 
start  ahead  of  Armstrong..  Before  the  latter-named 
received  the  word  all  the  others  had  covered  three 
laps,  which  left  him  a  hard  task  to  accomplish.  He. 
however,  went  away  with  a  determination  to  win, 
and  put  on  the  pace.  Van  Riper  and  Pelton  were 
walking  in  good  form  and  with  considerable  speed, 
although  the  former  was  too  much  for  the  latter. 
Smith  was  out  of  the  race  from  the  stert,  although 
he  gamely  plodded  over  the  track.  Armstrong  aid 
his  utmost,  but  the  odds  were  in  favor  of  Van  Riper, 
who  won  the  match  in  4<lzn.  3s.,  Armstrong  being 
about  three-fourths  of  a  lap  behind,  his  walking  time 
being  43m.  148.  Pelton  gave  up  on  the  forty-third 
lap,  bein^  eight  laps  behind  Armstrong.

DEKCE  AGAINST  HEE  THROCGH  f  THE 
NEGLIGENCE  OP  THE  HOSPITAL  OPPI- 
CIALS. 
Valentine  Listerznan  died  at  BelleTue  Hos- 
pital early  yesterday  morning.  He  was  a  cabinet- 
maker, and  lived  at  No.  G-l  Rivington-street.  For 
six  years  he  occupied  the  relation  of  &  husband  to 
Louisa  Wetzel,  of  No.  440  East  Twelfth-street.  Re- 
cently Miss  Wetzel  grew  tired  of  their  manner  of 
life,  and  began  to  insist  upon  a  marriage  ceremony 
being  performed  between  them.  Listerman  objected 
to  this  on  the  ground  that  he  was  too  poor 
to  set  up  housekeeping,  and  maintained  that 
while  -•■they  ;  remained  as  they  ^  were  both 
could '  earn  money  at  separate  occupations. 
He  urged  that  in  the  present  bard  times  he  would 
be  unequal  to  the  task  of  supporting  a  wife.  On  the 
evening  of  the  5th  inst.  Listerman  called  upon 
Miss  Wetzel  as  usual,  and  at  10  o'clock  the^  retii^. 
Soon  afterward  she  again  proiMsed  a  m&mage  cere* 
moDV.  sayinK  that  she  was  getting  ashamed  of  their 
relation.  He  answered  that  she  liad  better  wait 
awbUe  longer,  and  he  would  comply  with  her  request 
as  soon  as  he  could  afford  to  do  so.  Shortly  after 
this  Listerman  felt  an  accute  pain,  which  rapidly 
rendered  him  unconscious.  Miss  Wetzel  had  con- 
cealed a  razor  upon  her  person,  and,  upon  getting  the 
unsatisfactory  answer  from  her  lover,  had  horribly 
mutilated  hira.'  She  then  dressed  herself  and  fled, 
leaving  her  victim  lying  insensible  in  a  pool  of  blood. 
Listerman  was  found  sooq  after  by  an  inmate  of  the 
house.  The  Police  of  the  Seventeenth  Precinct  were 
notified,  and  he  wa£  removed  to  Bellevne  Hospital. 
There  Listerman  became  conscious,  and.  expecting  to 
die  that  night,  made  a  verbal  statement 'to  the 
above  effect.  He  lingered  in  a  semi-conscious 
state  until  2  o'clock  yesterday  morning,  when 
he  died.  Shortlv  before  his  death  the  Coroner 
was  summoned,  but  when  he  arrived  Idsterman 
was  too  weak  to  make  an  ante-mortem  statement. 
Great  indignation  is  expressed  by  the  Police  at 
the  failure  of  the  hospital  authorities  to  secure  from 
Listerman  during  the  two  weeks  he  was  under  their 
charge  a  stnt^ment  which  could  be  used  as  evidence 
in  the  trial  of  the  womnn  Wetzel. 

Louisa  Wetzel  eluded  arrest  for  three  days  after 
the  commitislon  of  her  crime,  but  was  captured  and 
taken  before  Justice  Flanuuer.  in  Essex  5larket  Po- 
lice Court.  When  arraigned  she  swore  tliat  Lister- 
man was  a  mere  caller,  and  that  he  had  attempted  to 
outrageously  assault  her.  when  she  seized  the  rsEor 
in  selr-defense,  and  wounded  him.  Justice  Flammer 
believed  her  story,  and  paroled  her.  When  Lister- 
man died  Coroner  Flanagan  ordered  her  rearrest, 
and  she  is  now  locked  up  in  the  Seventeenth  Pre- 
cinct Station,  awaiting  the  resuJt  of  the  Coroner's 
inquest,  which  will  take  place  in  the  Coroner's  Of&ce 
at  9  o'clock  this  morning.

HOW  A  BOY  LOST  HIS  SIGHT.  ^.  , 

Jacob  Gross,  of  No. -15  Tates-avenue,\  Wil- 
liamsburg, has  sued  the  managers  of  the  Boman 
Catholic  Orphan  Asylum. :  comer  of  Graham  and 
Montrose-avennes,  Brooklyn,  for  $10,000.  His  son, 
Franz,  aged  4  years,  was  placed  in  the  asylum  on 
July  13  to  be  educated,  and  Grosz  was  to  pay  $2  a 
week  for-his  board.  The  boy  was  afflirted  with  sore 
eyes  a  few  days  after  entering,  and  although  he  was 
removed  and  given  medical  attention,  a  total  loss 
of  sight  soon  occurred.  Tbe  father  charges  that 
all  the  children  used  the  same  towel,  al- 
though some  of .  them ,,  had  sore  eyes,  and 
that  an  epidemic  was  thereby  engendered. 
Charity  Commissioner  Haher.  one  of  the  Trustees, 
said  that  all  the  sanitary  measures  possible  were 
taken  for  the  care  of  the  children,  and  that  this  was 
the  first  complaint  he  had  heard  of.  A  large  number 
of  the  occupants  of  the  Nursejry  at  Flatbush  were 
transferred  to  this  institution  about  a  year  ago,  when 
the  Nursery  was  aboliahed.  and  many  of  them  had 
sore  eyes  at  the  time.      Since  then  tbe  disease  has 

Srevaiied  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  in  the  Willianis- 
urg  Asylum,  and  some  of  the  worst  cases  have  been 
put  in  ahospital  by  the  authorities  there. 

Panama,    Aug.    11.— Over    $1,400,000   in 

treasure,  mostly  in  gold  bullion,  was  shipped  from 
Barranquilla  for  Europe  on  the  3d  inst.  Of  this 
amount  the  French  steamer  St.  Germain  took  about 
$800,000.  and  the  Royal  Mail  steamer  Don  the  bal- 
ance of  over  $600,000.

Monday,  Aug.  20— P.  H. 

The  stock  market  exhibited  strength  in 
the  earif  dealings,  and  prices,  nnder  activa 
purchases,  recorded  an  adranee,  ranging  from 
Iq  to  37g  ^  cant.,  as  compared  with  the  closing 
figures  of  Saturday.  The  trunk  line  shares  and 
the  coal  stocks  "were  conspicuous  in  the  upward 
moTement,  and  reached  prices  higher  than  hava 
prevailed  for  a  long  time  pa.<«t.  The  early  ad- 
vance Tfas  followed  by  a  natural  reaction,  and 
^the  market  throughout  the  balance  of  the  day 
■was  irregular  in  its  course,  though  on  the  i^vhole 
avery  firm  undertone  characterized  the  dealings. 
fLate  in  the  afternoon  Western  Union  became 
prominent,  and  under  a  brisk  demand  advanced 
2  V' cent,  to  80%.  There  seemed  to  be  little 
doubt  entertained^n  the  street  that  the  joint 
committee  repiresc£ting  the  'Western  Union  and 
Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph  Companies  -will, 
at  its  adjourned  meeting  this  erening,  arrive 
at  a  harmonious  settlement.  The  Hannibal  and 
St.  Josejph  shares  at  the  opening  were  pressed 
for  sale,  and  declined  owing  to  an  announce- 
ment that  a  suit  for  foreclosure  had  been  com- 
menced against  the  compiuiy.  The  suit  ii} 
question,  it  subsequently  transpired,  is  brousht 
by  a  lawyer  in  an  obscure  Western  town,  and  is 
said  to  possess  no  merits.  The  decline  in  the 
shares  was  partially  recovered  at  the  close. 

The  total  transactions  reached  200,941 
shares,  which  embraced  39,022  Western  Union, 
33,382  Lake  Shore,  31,435,  Delaware,  Lacka- 
wanna and  Western,  13,800  North-western, 
13,400  St.  Paul,  12,900  Kew-Tork  Central, 
8,557  New-Jersey  Central,  8,400  Michigan 
Central,  8,360  Rock  Island.  5,960  Pacific  Mail, 
4,600  Delaware  and  Hudson,  4,190  Hannibal 
and  St  Joseph,  .'i,750  Ohio  and  Mississippi, 
3,300  Erie,  2,650  (Jnicksilver,  2,075  Wabash, 
2,000  Morris  and  Essex,  and  1,100  C.  C.  &  L  a 

Western  Union  rose  from  79 3^  to  797g,  de- 
clined to  .786a,  and  advanced  to  S0%.  Lake 
Shoi^  rose  froiu  5^*4  to  GO^  reacted  to  5OI4, 
advanced  to  60  ti.  and  flnall.7  sold  at  00.  Dela- 
ware, Lack.iwanna  and  Wostorn  ro.so  from  50 
to  51 13,  Utjclineil  to  40 1«,  .recoverdd  to  51*s, 
and  closed  at  a  reaction  of  1  ^  cent,  from  the 
highest  point.  North-western  common  opened 
at  28I4.  decUned  to  27I2,  and  rallied  to  27^8 a 
28.  The  preferred  rose  from  088g  to  591^,  and 
fell  off  to  5814.  St  Paul  conunou  dropped  from 
28^4  to  20^  and  ■  the  preferred  from 
65°s  to  643^,  the  former  closing  ,.  at  a 
recovery  of  about  1  V  cent.  New 
York  Central  advanced  from  9813  to  100%  and 
reacted  to  OOLj.  New-Jersey  Central  rose  from 
18l2to21l2.  receded  to  igLj,  rallied  to2138,  and 
finally  touched  191^  Michigan  Central  advanced 
from54to546^and declined to53S4.  Hocklsland 
ranged  betw(!en  99  and  100,  closing  at  996^ 
P/cific  Mail  feU  o2  from  24  to  23,  and  closed 
at  231^3.  Delaware  and  Hudson  opened  at  00  a) 
5OI2,  dropped  to  49,  and  closed  at  4OI2.  Han- 
nibal and  St  Joseph  declined  from  12  to  9,  and 
the  preferred  from  27  to  23,  with  the  final  sales 
at  III3  and  27I2  respectively.  Ohio  and  Mis- 
sissippi fluctuated  between  4^2  and  5,  and  Erie 
between  11  and  115g.  Quicksilver  advanced  from 
18%  to  I9I1  for  the  common,  and  from  31  to  33 
for  the  preferred. ^  WabaA  sold  at  6\'a>fi'^i; 
Morris  and  Essex  advanced  to  771^,  and  fell  off 
at  the  close  to  7534.  C,  C.  and  I.  C.  sold  at 
31.49312.  Illinois  Central  rose  from  61  Vg  to 
'62I2,  and  reacted  to  02.  Pittsburg  sold  at 
781*,  C.  C,  C.  and  I.  at  27-32712.  Alton  and 
Terre  Haute  preferred  at  17,  and  Union  Pacific 
at  64Ui.  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph  sold 
at  20'a:20l4,  and  closed  at  17  bid  and  19\ 
asked.    Express  shares  were  quiet  and  firm. 

The  Money  market  was  easy  at  2 1»3  t^  cent, 
for  C3X\  loans  until  late  in  the  afternoon,  when, 
owing  to  the  delay  on  the  part  of  brokers  in 
making  np*- balances  at  bank,  the  rats  was 
marked  up  to  1-64^  diem  and  interest.  The 
final  transactions,  however,  were  at  4  4*  cent, 
the  advance  having  brought  out  a  free  supply  of 
money.  ■  Prime  mercantile  paper  sold  at  41.3  to 
O^s  ¥  cent.,  according  to  the  state  of  maturity. 
The  following  were  the  rates  on  excliange  on 
New-Tork  at  the  undermentioned  cifies  to-day  : 
,  Savannah,  buying  i^,  selling  I4 ;  Cincinnati, 
easy,  buying  1-10  off,  selling  par ;  New-Or- 
leans, commercial,  3-16,  bank  I4  *,  St.  Louis, 
parte  50  premium  ;  Chicago,  80  to  100  dis- 
count, and  Charleston  easy,  scarce,  none  to  be 
had. 

Oold  was  weak  and  declined  from  105 14  to 
105,  the  latter  quotation  being  current  at  the 
close.  The  weakness  of  the  market  was  partly 
due  to -the  probability  of  a  movement  of  gold 
from  London  to  this  point  in  the  early  future, 
o-wing  to  the  low  rates  of  exchange.  Cash  Gold 
loaned  flat  to  3  ^  cent,  per  annum,  and  at  1-64 
per-diem  for  use,  the  latter  for  itnmediate  de- 
livery, until  near  the  close,  when  holders  paid 
las  V  cent  for  carrying.  The  imports  of 
■Specie  last  "week  were  $375,400,  principally 
silver  (soin. 

The  foreign .  adrices  reported  the  London 
market  steady  for  Consols  and  United  States 
^bonds,  and  strong  and  higher  for  American 
railway  shares,  New-York  Central  advancing 
11-2  9  cent,  to  96 ;  Illinois  Central,  1  *"  cent, 
to  61 )  Erie,  34  >?  cent,  to  llig,  and  do.,  pre- 
ferred, 1  9  cent,  to  21.  Consols  sold  at  9a3g 
for  both  money  and  the  account  United  States 
bonds  were'  ^s®  ^  higher  for  4I2  9  cents,  at 
lOSSg'SlOol^.  uid  steady  for  the  other  issues, 
at  1071a  for  53  ot  1881,  lOO^g  for  1867s,  and 
IO8I2  for  10-403.  The  rate  of  discount  in  the 
open  market  for  three  montlis'  bills  is  188^134 
9  cent    At  Paris,  Bentes  fell  off  to  106f.  20c 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  heavy,  and 
the  lowest  rates  for  some  time  past  prevailed, 
the  demand  having  been  very  light  The 
nominal  asking  quotations  were  reduced  to 
.$4  83l2for60  day  and  to  $4  85I2  for  sight 
drafts,  with  sales  of  bankers'  bills  as  low  as 
$4  81%®$4  62I2  and  $4  849«4  8413. 

Government  bonds  declined  ^^14  f  cent 
in  sympathy  -with  Gold.  The  tTansaetions  were 
on  a  small  scale.  In  railroad  bonds  the  busi- 
ness footed  up  $170,000.    C,   C.   and  L   C.

H.  Or^iam,  a  ooal  dealer,  <of  Arenne*  A  and  Ninetieth - 
street.  This  penon's  name  appears  on  the  contract 
bnt  it  seema  that  the  name  of  his  father,  Michael 
Graham,  of  No.  245  East  Eighty^lxth-street,  should 
properly  appear  there.  The  reason  for  this  state- 
znent  will  he  reraalad  fnrther  on.  On  the  18th  of 
l-taM  April  the  £\re  Conuniaaloners  advertised  for  pro- 
posals to  fnmiah  them  with  1,800  tons  of  egg  coal 
1,200  tons  of  stoTe  coal,  and  100  eords  of  wood,  to 
be  OeHTered  in  Tarions  lots  at  the  houses  of  the  en- 
gine companies.  A  large  number  ■  of  bids  were  sent 
in.  They  were  opened  on  May  2,  when  it  was  dls- 
coviered  that  the  lowest  two  offers  were  those  of 
Samnel  G.  French,  who  had  previously  supplied  the 
Fire  Department  with  fuel,  and  of  James  H.  Graham. 
French  offered  to  famish  1,800  tons  of  e^  coal  at 
$3  47  per  ton,  or  ^.796  for  the  full  quantity. 
The  1.200  tons  of  stove  coal  he  offered  to  famish 
for  ^,164,  also  at  the  rate  of  $3  47  per  ton.  Gra- 
ham's bid  was  to  famish  both  qualities  of  coal  at 
the  rate  of  $3  34  per  ton,  the  entire  cost  of  the 
3.000  tons  to  be  $10,020.-  When  the  bids  were 
opened  Mr.  French  found  that  a  clerical  error  had 
b&en  made  in  ois,  papers,  and  pointed  out  the  fact  to 
The  Commissioners,  Messrs.  Gorman^  King,  and  Per- 
loy.  He  stated  that  he  intended  to  offer  the  1,800 
tons  at  ^  22  per  ton,  instead  of  $3  47,  as  -Written, 
and  in  proof  of  the  truth  of  his  assertion  he  showed 
that  the  $5,796  was  exactly  the  amount  the 
coal  would  cost  at  the  revised  figures.  The 
Commissioners  accepted  his  statements  and  awarded 
to  "him  the  contract  for  the  esg  coaL  As  Graham's 
bid  to  famish  the  stove  coal  was  the  lowest,  the  con- 
tract was  given  to  him.  Contract  papers  were  pre- 
pared, and  then,  for  the  first  and  cmly  time,  James 
H.  Graham  appeared  in  Fireman's  HalL  He  had  been 
represented  previously  by  his  father,  who  was  gen- 
erally accompanied  by  Tammany  poHtldMUi  from 
the  Xineteenth  and  Twenty-first  Assembly  Districts. 
TThen  the  contract  pax>ers  were  drawn  up  they 
were  referred  to  Controller  Kelly  for  his  action 
upon  the  sureties  of  Messrs.  French  and  Grahan;. 
At  the  same  time,  Commissioner  King  wrote  to  the 
Controller,  informing  him  of  the  change  in  the  bid  of 
Mr.  French.  Kelly  then  said  that  he  believed  the 
Commissioners  ought  to  have  rejected  the  bid  of 
French  on  the  ground  of  irr^ularity.  How  far  his 
knowledge  Vf  the  political  nsefalneas  of  Michael 
Graham  in  the  Twelfth  Ward  may  have  gone  toward 
forming  that  opinion  it  la,  of  course,  oseleas  to  specu- 
late. The  end  of  the  matter  was  that  Mr.  Kelly  re- 
ferred the  pajjers  to  Corporation  Counsel  Whitney, 
who  gave  an  opinion  that  Mr.  French's  bid  was  nulli- 
fied by  the  clerical  error.  The  opinion  was  very 
long,  bnt  its  gist  tscontained  in  the  following;  extract: 


short  time  ago,  and  that  for  this  reason  his  son  be- 
came the  contractor  to  supply  the  Fire  Department 
inatead  of  himself.

Intended  to  bid  $S  22   per  ton,    and  is   now   reaJy    to 


famish  the  coal  at  that  price  ;  and,  also,  that  if  the  eon- 
tract  for  both  kinds  of  coal  Is  aWardea  to  Mr.  Graham, 
instead  of  awarding  the  contract  for  the  em  coal  to  Mr. 
French,  and  the  stove  coal  only  to  Mr.  Orsham,  the  City 
will  \r>se  the  sum  of  ^2.  In  my  opinion  it  would  be 
better  for  the  City  to  lose  s  much  Isrser  sum  In  this  par- 
ticular case  than  to  hare  the  prindpTe  established  by  It 
that  bidders  can  be  allowed  to  explain  and  modify  thrir 
bids  after  they  have  once  been  presented  to  a  depart- 
ment." 

The  CohtroIleT  returned  Mr.  French's  contract  to 
the  Fire  Consnissioners  without  his  approval,  ac- 
companying it  w^ith  a  copy  of  the  Corporation  Coun- 
scd's  opinion.  The  Commissioners  immediately 
awarded  to  James  H.  Graham  the  entire  contract  for 
f mmisliing  tho'fnel  to  the  department.  The  paper^ 
were  prepared-on  Jane  13,  and  Graham's  soretie^ 
eignedthem  on  June  22.  The  sureties  are  Felix 
O'NeU,  of  No.  34  Madison-  street,  and  James  Go- 
wande.  of  No,  241  East  Elghteenth-street,  who  justi- 
fied in  the  sunikof  $5,010  each.  Graham  began 
to  deliver  coal  -  almost  immediately.  In  order 
to  supprly  the  en^e  companies  whose  quarters  are 
on  the  west  side*of  the  City,  he  moored  a  baige  at  the 
foot  of  West  Thirty-f onrth-street.  Two  firemen  were 
sent  to  that  place>by  Mr.  Puller,  the  supply  clerk  of 
the  Fire  Department,  to  watch  the  coal  being 
weighed.  On  Jtme  '29  Graham  began  to  deliver  egg 
coal  at  the  house  of  Engine  Company  No.  3,  on  Sev- 
enleenth-atreet,  nesr  Ninth-avenue.  On  that  day, 
according  to  vouchers  furnished  by  him  and  certified 
to  by  the  firemen  en  the  dock,  he  delivered  38,010 
pounds,  and  on  the  2d  of  July  he  delivered  7,115 
pounds.  The  vouchers  as  they  were  pre- 
sented at  the  engine-house  were  .  copied 
into  the  company's  journal.  As  the  coal 
was  delivered  a  Mr.  Dorr,  who  resldee  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  engine-house,  noticed  that  the  loads  were  very 
small  and  suspecting  that  the  City  was  being 
t-heated,  he  communicated  his  suspicions  to  Fire 
Cornxoi-wioner  King.  Mr.  King  call^  upon  Supply 
Clerk  Fuller  for  an  explanation,  and  that  officiu 
stated  that  he  bad  taken  all  the  precautions  possible 
to  protect  the  City  from  fraud,  oy  placing  the  fire- 
men at  the  dock  where  the  coal  was  wwl^ed  previous 
to  deliverj*.  He  stated,  however,  that  if  he  was  au- 
thorized to  do  so  he  conld  learn  whether  or  not  the 
contractor  was  giving  true  weight  by  weighing  over 
iigain  some  of  the  coal  the  latter  had  delivered.  The 
Commissioner  told  him  to  do  so.  The  result  of  Mr. 
Fullers  inveatigations  are  best  told  in  the  folio  wing 
report,  made  by  him  to  Commissioner  Khig :

Other  company  where  Mr.  Qraham  has  dehverod  coal 
■where  it  was  practicable  to  make  a  satisfactory  investi-

Accompanying  the  report  of  Mr.  Fuller  was  a 
jswom  statement  from  Foreanan  ^Villlam  F.  Shaw,  ■ 
whoreweighed  the  coal,  and  also  a  certificate  from  Ja- 
«ob  J.  Banta,  the  Inspector  of  "Weights  and  Meaa- 
tOTS,  that  the  scales  used  by  Shaw  were  true.  The 
statement  of  Shaw  showed  that  the  contractor 
originally  pretended  to  have  delivered  at  the  engine- 
house  45, 125  pounds  of  egg  coal,  vet  when  Graham 
■was  called  upon  for  a  bill  by  Mr.  Fuller  he  returned 
onefor  only  36,365  pounds-  This  fact  shows,  ap- 
•parently,  that  he  was  Informed  of  the  Investigation 
ithat  had  been  made,  and  bad  made  a  guess 
(at  the  real  quantity  of  egg  coal  he  -had 
deUvered.  His  guess,  however,  was  inaccurate,  for 
ithe  quantity  for  which  he  sent  in-  a  bill 
v^M  1,^96  pounds  in  excess  of  that  found  by  Foreman 
v*'i.ttW.  The  vouchers  he  returned  with  the  bill  are, 
fiiewfore,  as  is  stated  in  Mr.  Fuller's  report,  alto- 
gether wrong.  When  Mr.  Fuller  submitted  his  re- 
'  port  to  Commissioner  King,  that  official  stopped  the 
receipt  of  coal  from  Grraham.  Since  then  the  Board 
of  Commissioners  Has  referred  to  Cerpoiation  Goun- 
laol  Whitney  the  qoestlon  of  annnffing  Graham's  cost*, 
^tract,  and  of  proceeding  agminst  his  sureties.

THE  EABTFOBDS  BEAT  THE  LOUISVUiLEB  BT 
A  SCORE  OP  5  TO  1— ASOTHta  DISPUTE 
OVER  AK  UMPIRE'S  DECISION. 
The  tenth  game  of  the  championship  series 
between  the  Brooklyn-Hartford  Club  and  the 
liouiaville  "G^reyB,"  was  played  on  the  Union  GIronnds 
7esterday  afternoon.  The  conteat  was  lively  and  in- 
teresting throughout,  and  resulted  ina'vjictoryforthe 
Hartfords,  who  outplayed  their  opponents  both  in 
the  field  and  at  the  bat.  Considerable  interest  was 
manifested  in  this  game  by  the  sporting  fraternity,  on 
account  of  the  influence  its  result  would  have  on  the 
championship  question.  A  victory  for  the  visitors 
in  yesterday's  game  would  have  virtually  decided  the 
matter  in  their  favor.  Their  defeat  will  give  the 
Boston  Bed  Stockings  a  better  position  in  the  race 
for  the  pennant,  with  the  chances  of  finally  coming 
out  ahead.  Play  was  commenced  at  4  F.  M.  sharp, 
with  the  home  dnb  at  the  bat^  Mr.  Ducharme,  of  the 
Hadson  Clnb,  officiating  as  umpire.  Bordoclc  opened 
play  for  his  side  with  a  good  hit  to  left  field,  and 
stole  down  to  second.  Hol&worth  hit  hard  to  riirht 
field,  and  was  splendidly  caught  out  by  Schafer. 
The  next  two  batsmon.  Stark  and  Carey,  were  given 
bases  by  errors  of  Graver,  and  as  Ferguson  followed 
with  a  base  hit  a  run  was  scored  by  Burdock  before 
the  side  was  declared  out.  For  the  visitors,  Latham 
led  off  with  a  base  hit,  but  in  attempting  to  steal 
to  second  was  declared  oat  by  the  nniplre.  ThU  de- 
cision caused  a  dispute  between  the  Captains  of  the 
two  clubs,  and  fully  twenty  minutes  were 
Trasted  in  efforts  to  make  the  tunplre  -re- 
■  verse  his  decision,  which  he  refused  to  do.  When 
play  was  again  called  Hall  and  Hague,  the  next  two 
batsmen,  were  fielded  out  by  Start  and  Burdock,  leav- 
ing the  score  at  the  end  of  the  first  inning  at  1  to  0 
in  favor  of  the  home  club.  Excellent  fielding  on 
both  sides  prevented  any  runs  from  being  scored 
again  until  the  fourth  Inning,  when  the  Hartfords 
made  one  on  a  "muff  "  by  luathain  and  a  passed  ball 
by  Snyder.  In  the  siith  inning  splendid  oatting  by 
Burdock  and  Holdsworth  earned  a  nm  for  the  Hart- 
fords e^er  two  men  were  pat  out.  In  this  inning 
the  Lonisvilles  al!to  scored  a  run  on  good  hits 
by  Latham  and  Crowley,  assisted  by  an 
over  throw  by  Holdsworth.  After  this  inning  the 
■Ttisitors  were  not  again  able  to  score,  as  the  Hart- 
ford-settled down  to  their  work  and  fielded  in  the 
sharpest  manner.  The  home  club  added  one  more  to 
their  score  in  the  seventh  inning,  and  another  one  in 
the  ninth  Inning,  at  the  close  of  which  the  score  stood 
at  five  to  one  in  their  favor.  Larkin,  of  the  Hart- 
ford's, pitched  in  a  very  effective  manner,  but  four 
base  hits  being  made'off  his  delivery  throup'hont  the 
entire  game.  ■  He  was  finely  supported  by  Allison 
behind  the  bat.  and  by  Burdock  and  Start  at  first  and 
second  bases  respectivoly.  The  visitors  were  in  poor 
form,  their  fielding  and  batting  not  being  up  to  their 
nsn^  high  standard.  Following  is  the  score  of  the 
game :

MILITARY  RIFLE  PRACTICE, 


THE  SECOND  BRIGADE  AT  CREEDMOOR — THE 
KEW-ORLEANS  TEAM  *'GETTI^•0  THEIB 
ELEVATIONS." 
The  final  course  of  rifle  practice  for  the  present 
season  was  commenced  by  the  troops  in  the  Second 
Brigade  at  ■  Creedmoor  yesterday.  There  were  369 
men  present,  comprising  the  left  wing  of  the  brigade, 
who  were  distributed  as  follows:  Ninth  Res^ment, 
156,  Capt.  Kirkland  commanding,  Capt.  Japha  In- 
spector of  Rifie  Practice ;  Seventy-first,  142  men, 
Capt.  Webber  commandin£.  Capt.  Orsor  l^peetor  of 
Rifie  Practice;  and  Eleventh  Regiment,  71  men, 
Capt.  Kiefer  comjuanding.  Capt.  Goldsive  Insi>ector 
of  Bifle  Practice.  Iiieut.-CoI.  Chaddock,  of  the  Sev- 
enty-first Regiment,  commanded  the  battalion,  and 
Major  C.  E.  Orvis,  Brigade  Inspector  of  Rifie  Prac- 
tice, supenntended  the  firing.  The  troops  left  in 
good  order  for  the  range  by  the  9  o'clock  train,  ac- 
comnanied  by  Gen.  Vilmar,  and  CoL  Van  Wyck  and 
Capt,  Webb,  of  his  staff-  Upon  arivlng  at  the 
OTY^nnds,  the  guard  was  sent  ahead,  the  detaOs  havlns 
been  made  on  the  train,  and  after  the  sentinels  had 
been  posted  the  main  body  went  down  to  the  100- 
yards  firing  point,  and  practiced  at  that  and  the  suc- 
ceeding range  of  150  yards  before  the 
-hour  for  rations.  Tlie  men  were  exceeding- 
ly well  behaved,  and  even  the  customary 
amusements  of  ball  playing  and  wrestling 
were  omirted.  TheTfeather  was  excellent  for  short- 
range  Shooting.  Such  wind  as  there  was  blew  in  the 
faces  of  the  men  from  the  roar  of  the  targets,  and  a 
gray  light  prevailed.  .Some  fine  scores  were  made  at 
the  100  and  1.50  varda  ranee,  among  them  the  score 
of  43  out  of  30.  made  by  L<ieut.-Col.  Ctiaddock..  The 
number  of  qualifying  scores  made  in  the  third  class 
by  each  rwuient  was  as  follows:  Ninth,  99;  Sev- 
enty-first. v9  T  Eleventh,  27.  Those  who  made  25 
out  of  a  posiuble  50  at  tne  short  ranges  shot  at  300 
and  400  yards,  making  the  following  scores  out  of  a 
possible  50  points:

Hon.  Heniy  O.  Kelsey,  Secretary  of  State 
and  Commissioner  of  Insurance  of  New-Jersey,  has 
presented  a  report,  referred  to  In  yeeterday's  Tms, 
in  advance  of  his  regular  intnranee  report  for  the 
present  year,  eontaining  some  new  and  startling 
facts  concerning  the  New-Jersey  Mutual  Life  Insur- 
ance Company,  by  which  it  appears  that  be  was  not 
mistaken  in  believing  that  gross  corruption  had 
crept  into  the  insUtntlon,  and  that  hii  eourse 
in  closing  it  was  folly  justified  by  the 
facts.  To  show  how  for  yean  the  annual  state- 
ments of  the  eompany  had  been  deliberately  falsified, 
worthless  and  fraudulent  seeurities  reported  and 
exhibited,  and  the  money  which  they  represented 
appropriated  by  those  in  control  to  their  own  tue  ; 
how  fictitious  balances  were  created  in  December 
and  extinguished  in  January ;  how  stocks  end  bonds 
had  been  reported  as  owned  to  which  the  company 
had  no  claim,  and  mortgages  exhiUted  which  had 
not  only  no  value,  but  irere  created  and  carried  as  a 
cover  for  valuable  assets  abstracted  and  misappropria- 
ted, he  hat  gone  deep  into  the  books,  and  has  zevealed 
a  depth  of  corruption  which  nrbvokes  him  to  say  of 
the  management  that  fraud  was  the  rule,  honesty  the 
exception.  Some  instances  of  its  method  will  Illus- 
trate: On  Aug.  30,  1873,  the  ShetifT  of  Middlesex 
County  sold  land  located  in  that  oonnty  for  ^11, 590, 
being  the  amount  due  on  a  second  mortgage  on  the 
same ;  there^was  also  a  first  mortgage  for  $8,000  on 
the  property,  making  it  stand  the  purchaser  in  910,- 
590.  During  the  same  month,  by  deed  bearing  date 
Aug.  1,  while  the  Sheriff's  deed  is  dated  Aug.  30, 
this  property  was  conveyed  to  dne  Qeorge  W. 
Thompson,  of  Brooklyn,  the  consideration  named 
being  $110,000,  50  lote  which  had  been  otherwise 
disposed  of  being  excepted.  Thompson  immediately, 
during  the  mouths  of  August  aud  September,  1873, 
made  conveyances  of  the  property  in  parcels  of 
from  10  to  26  lots,  by  18  deeds  to  as  many  different 
persons,  the  total  consideration  named  being  $177,- 
550,  varying  for  the  several  parcels  from  $8,000  to 
$12,000  each.  The  "  purchasers"  each  made  mort- 
gages to  Thompson,  ranging  in  amount  from  $4,000 
to  $8,250,  and  aggregating  $94,000.  These  mort- 
gages were  all  transferred  to  the  New-Jersey  Mutual 
by  Assignments,  dated  in  August,  September,  Octo- 
ber, and  November,  respectively,  1873.  and  from 
that  time  carried  and  reported  by  them  as  legitimate 
assets.  The  mortgages  and  assignments  were  duly 
executed  and  recorded,  and  upon  their  face  bore  no 
evidence  of  fraud,  bnt  neither  the  mortgagors  nor 
the  mortgagee  .ever  had  any  legal  title  to,  nor  2he 
interest  of  a  dollar  in,  the  property. 

On  Dec  31.  1875,  the  sworn  statement  of  the 
company  shows  "cash  In  bankj$6i2,828  39,"  and 
"cash  in  company's  office,  $7,875  66."  Their 
actual  balance  in  hank,  on  Dec.  1,  1875,  was  leu 
than  $4,000,  and  on  Dec.  30  less  than  $16,000 ;  and 
again,  six  days  later,  on  Jan.  4,  $15,300.  while  they 
were  unable  to  show  that  they  had  anv  "caahm 
oCBce"  at  all  When  large  balances  in  bank  were 
necessary  to  be  exhibited  at  stated  periods  they  were 
created  by  de^siting  miscellaneous  notes,  <mecks, 
and  draft^  of  bttle  or  no  value,  the  amounts  of  which 
they  procured  to  be  carried  to  their  credit,  in  order 
to  show  a  balance,  but  which,  by  arrangement  with 
the  bank,  was  to  be  treated  as  a  sort  of  special  deposit, 
and  not  to  be  drawn,  against,  and  which,  the  day 
when  the  apparent  balance  waa  needed  being  past, 
was  extinguished,  and  the  "paper"  returned  to  them. 
In  one  instance  "paper"  of  this  kind  inclosed  in  an 
envelope,  under  seal  indorsed  as  containing  "securi- 
ties "to  the  amount  of  $40,000,  was  deposited  in 
bank,  the  amount  carried  to  their  credit,  their  balance 
on  Dec  31  increased  accordingly,  and  immediately 
after  the  envelope  and  contents  were  returned,  and 
their  balance  correspondingly  reduced. 

Of  the  United  States  bonds  ($132,000)  claimed 
and  exhibited  on  Dec.  26,  (see  page  28.)  few  if  any 
of  them  belon^d  to  the  eompany ;  a  large  portion  of 
them,  in  adolCion  to  the  $47,000  In  hypothecation, 
having  been  traced  to  the  ownership  of  the  Conti- 
nental C-ompany.  By  the  reports  of  Mr.  Fackler,  ac- 
tuary, and  Mr.  Stratton,  accountant,  $150,000  lia- 
bilities were  discovered  and  not  reported.  Mr. 
Stratton  truly  intimated  that  the  books  "could 
Bcarcelv  have  been  kept  in  a  way  more  favorable  to 
conceal  its  true  condition."  Some  of  them  were  mu- 
tilated; none  bore  evidence  of  system  or  integrity. 
To  secure  a  loan  (not  reported)  of  $10,000  at  the 
Second  National  Bank  of  Newark,  bonds  and  mort- 

fages  to  the  amount  of  $l4,800  were  hypothecateft, 
ut  entered  and  reported  as  the  unlnctmibered  prop- 
erty of  the  eompany. 

THE  COBT  OF  THB  aCUTUAL*8  BUSINESS. 

Other  securities,  to  the  amount  of  from  $15,0O0 
to  $30,000  had  been  constantly  in  hypothecation  to 
Henry  W.  Baldwin,  and  in  his  possession,  although 
no  record  was  made  of  the  tranner  or  assignments, 
as  security  to  his  alleged  indorsements  and  accept- 
ances of  drafts  and  claims  on  the  company.  Baldwin 
was  the  "manager  of  the  middle  depMtment,"  or 
the  Kaw-Tork  agent  of  the  company,  and  evidence 
has  accumulated  of  his  close  and  intimate  connec. 
tton  with  its  fraudulent  man^oment.  He  claims 
that  his  income  from  the  business  of  the  com- 
pany exceeded  $20,000  a  year,  which  was  4*3 
per  cent,  of  their  total  cash  premiums,  as 
shown  by  last  report,  viz.:  $456,058  52  in  1875. 
He  was  paid  by  commissions  on  premiums  collected, 
which  in  some  cases  reached  the  extraordinar>'  figure 
of  65  per  cent,  of  the  gross  premium,  and  also  had  a 
stated  5ialary,  independent  of  the  amount  of  business 
done,  besides  ofSce  rent,  clerk  hire  and  incidental  ex- 
penses paid.  Thus  the  expense  of  portions  of  his 
Dustness  exceeded  the  total  premiums  he  collected 
thereon,  and  Ls  claimed  to  have  cost  the  company  at 
times  150  per  cent.,  i.  e.,  for  every  dollar  he  col- 
lected in  premiums  on  sdch  business  he  re- 
ceived from  the  company  $1  50.  The  out- 
standing rail  loans  made  to  him,  "  se- 
cured by  his  business,"  In  violation  of  the 
company's  charter,  aggregated  $17,716  35.  Four 
mortgages  made  by  him,  standing  on  the  books  as 
the  property  of  .ihe  company,  two  of  property  In 
Bergen  County  for  $5,200,  and  two  on  property  In 
Warren  County,  N.  Y..  (Adlrondacks.)  for  $3,978. 
were  missing  when  the  Receiver  took  possession  of 
the  remaining  eflTects.  and  have  not  been  recovered  ; 
nor  was  there  any  record  that  the  company  had 
realized  an>'thlng&om  their  sale  or  surrender. 

TTie  "reinsorance  "  of  the  company  in  the  frandn- 
lent  and  worthless  National  Capitol  Company  was 
effected  on  the  recommendation  of  a  committee  of 
the  New-Jersey  Mutual  Directors,  of  which  Baldwin 
was  one.  It  was  intended  aud  had  the  effect  of 
getting  all  the  valuable  assets  of  the  company  which 
remained  in  their  control  beyond  the  reach  of  the 
Courts  of  Chancery.  It  Is  pretended  that  the  com- 
mittee was  appointed  at  a  full  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Directors,  held  on  the  5th  of  January  last. 
This  is  not  a  fact.  The  only  members 
of  the  board  who  were  co-operating  with 
the .  authorities  for  the  protection  of  the 
policy-holders  having  retired  from  that  meeting 
before  the  subject  of  the  appointment  of  a  commit- 
tee on  reinsurance  was  mentioned.  The  National 
Capitol  Company  is  wholly  under  the  control  of  Ben- 
jamin Noyes,  and  has  neither  the  ability  nor  the  in- 
tention to  pay  any  liabilities  whatever.  It  has  is- 
sued no  new  policies  under  Noyes'  administration, 
but  is  in  the  receipt  of  renewal  premiums  from  the 
poUcy-holdera  In  the  eompany  it  "had  "reinsured," 
vk.,  the  "American  National  Life  and  Trust  Com- 
pany," of  New-Haven,  which  was  also  Noyes'  com- 
pany, and  into  which  he  had  previously  "reinsured  " 
the  American  Mutual  Life,  of  New-Haven,  and  the 
National,  of  New- York.  Those  reinsured  companies 
had  deposits  for  the  benefit  of  their  poUcy-holders — 
the  National,  of  New-Yoik,  $100,000,  at  Albany:  the 
Connecticut  fcompaniee,  $100,000  at  Hartford  in 
the  shape  of  a  mortgage  in  trust  to  the  Treastirer  of 
Gonnectlcntj  on  the  real  estate  at  New-Haven,  now 
claimed  by. Noyes  as  the  property  of  the  Capitol 
Company,  and  tneee  deposits  are  the  only  protection 
the  policy -holders  have  in  case  of  death  or  maturity 
in  any  manner  of  their  policies.  It  is  a  grave  scan- 
dal that  Noyes  should  be  permitted  to  receive  the 
premiums  on  these  policies,  which  must  be  paid  In 
order  to  preserve  their  status  and  prevent  their 
lapse.  Ho  has  made  Btrenuotis  efforts  to  secure  their 
surrender,  and  the  acceptance  in  their  stead  of  those 
in  the  Capitol  Company,  thus  extinguishing  the  inter- 
est of  the  holders  In  the  deports.  The 
degree  of  success  he  has  met  with  la 
not  known,  but  no  claims  arising  under  theee 
policies  have  been  paid  by  Noyes  without  resistance, 
and  none  whatever  when  possible  to  avoid  payment. 
In  some  cases  be  has  attempted  to  settle  such  claims 
by  the  transfer  of  bonds,  which  he  represented  as 
good,  but  which  turned  out  to  be  worthless,  and  in 
others  repudiated  his  responsibility  absolutely. 

A    BXNQ     Oir     DAKQSaOUS     AND     UNPBINCIFLKD 
HXN. 

It  seems  clear  that  the  New  Jersey  Mutual  was 
one  of  a  chain  of  companies  which  had  fallen  into  the 
control  of  an  organization  of  shrewd,  tmprinc^led, 
and  dangerous  men.  Others  of  this  chain  were  the 
National  Capitol  and  the  New-York  and  New-Haven 
Companies,  which  it  had  previously  reinstired ;  the 
CraJFtsmen's,  Hercules,  Hope,  Commonwealth,  and 
the  ContinontaL  Noyes  and  his  National  Capitol 
Company  evi^ntlywere  not  taken  into  or  recog- 
nized by  the  combination,  until  the  very  last  extrem- 
ity, and  then  as  a  dernier  ratort  to  escape  the  interpo- 
sition of  the  courts  and  the  fappllcation  of  the  law. 
The  process  of  "  reinsuring  "  the  Continental,  which 
was  the  only  one  of  the  New-York  companies  re- 
maining, was  an  audacious  scheme  of  fraud. 

Commissioner  KeUey  alludes  to  the  reinsorance  of 
the  Commonwealth,  ol:  New-York,  by  which  Henry 
W.  Baldwin,  Monaiger  of  the  Middle  Department, 
made  $52,515  26.  and  to  the  facts  that  Noyes,  who 
was  arrested  and  released  on  $5,000  bail,  abaeonded, 
that  Baldwin  is  Indicted,  but  remains  beyond  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  State,  and  that  both  the  men  are 
fugitives,  and  that  many  Important  books  and  ac- 
counts disappeared  when  the  Capitol  Company  was 
reinsured.  Hr.  Kelsev  charges  that  Baldwin  has 
suborned  newspapers  in  New-JcFrsey  to  ensage  in  his 
defense.  Copies  of  the  contract  with  the  ^>pe  Mu- 
tual in  1872  for  the  insuianee  of  the  New- 
Jersey,  -  which,  through  lack  of  supervision 
at  tiiat  time  In  New-Jersey,  was  really 
allowed  to  become  a  contract  by  the  Hope 
for  this  relnsaranee  of  tiie  New-Jersey  Mutual 
Commissioner  Kelsey  says  that  tiie  renH  of  an  ex- 
amination made  in  August,  1874,  by  Prof.  Elitur 
Wright,  of  Boston,  of  the  affaSzs  of  the  company, 
Jfrw  JthatJs9£j^ziAt^a4  ^Eje.  KaMidiaeL&aad. 


"in  the  Kew-Jeney  Mntoal  no  reason  which 
doee  not  exist  in  equal  strength  in  other  eompaniea 
of  uqnestloaed  emott  why  Iti  policj-hi^dws  should 
be  djbmtlafled  or  dktnutfot"  On  this  ireport  Oom- 
misdoner  Kels^  had  ismed  his  eertifloate  to  the 
company,  bnt  he  bellerBs  that  the  eompany  was  not 
then  sound  and  that  the  examiners  were  deliberately 
and  woefully  deceived.  Commissioner  Kelsey  con- 
tinues: 

"  The  Immediate  cause  of  the  downfaU  of  this  eom- 
pany was  its  criminal  management.  The  crime  once  d^ 
lected  and  en>oeed.  it  became  the  duty  of  the  ofEloers  of 
thelawtobrmcOieKniltf  persona  to  trial  and  punish- 
ment. I  have  pleasure  m  saying  that  the  judicial  and 
proseeatlng  ottoers  of  our  own  State  who  are  ehaived  by 
law  with  duties  In  this  connection  have  perforroea  them 
promptly  and  dUlgenUy,  and  they  are  In  no  wise  respon- 
sible for  the  failure  to  bring  the  offenders  to  trial.  The 
good  efCect  of  searching  Investigations,  developing  fraud, 
are  robbed  of  much  of  their  vBlue  when  those  shown  to 
he  responsible  for  the  wrong  are  not  brought  to  punish- 
ment. I  yet  have  confidence  that  the  peraons  guilty  of 
this  crime  will  be  brought  to  justice,  and  to  secure  uiat 
result  no  proper  effort  will  be  spared. ** 

He  thinks  that  the  exhibition  of  the  utter  worth- 
lessnesa  and  criminal  management  of  the  company 
showed  that  no  reeuscitaUon  or  recuperation  was 

Sossible.  As  to  "reinsuring"  It,  no  company  or  in- 
ividual  with  the  smallest  degree  of  hones^  could 
have  entertained  the  proposition  or  the  idea  for  one 
moment. 


KOVBLTT IN RAILROA.I>  RECONSTRnCTION. 

The  Alabama  and  Chattanooga  Railroad,  295 
miles  long,  has  been  In  financial  difficulties  since  the 
formation  of  the  eompany  in  1868,  by  the  consoli- 
dation of  the  North-western  and  South-eastern  Ala- 
bama Railroada.  After  passing  through  the  hands 
of  three  Receivers  it  was  finally  purchased 
by  Messrs.  Emile  Erlanger  &  Co.,  of  Lon- 
don, for  $1,480,096*  These  gentlemen  have 
Issued  a  dreular  to  the  apparently  apa- 
thetic first  mortgage  bondholders  of  the  company, 
offering  to  give  them  "  another  and  final  opportunity 
of  participating  in  the  purchase  and  covering  their 
loss."  It  is  estimated  that  $570,000  will  be  re- 
quised  to  put  the  road  in  proper  running  condition, 
and  the  expenses  will  foot  up  $60,000,  making 
$2,050,069  to  be  paid  in  all  As  the  old  bonds  are 
mainly  held  in  Europe,  Messrs.  Erlanger  &  Co.  pro- 
pose to  form  an  English  company,  under  the  name  of 
the  ^'Aiabama  Great  Southern  Railway  Company, 
limited,"  with  the  object  of  owning  and  work- 
ing the  road,  and  if  the  local  law 
of  Alabama  will  not  permit  this,  to  form 
an  Alabama  coTporation,ana  to  become  substantiolly 
the  holders  of  Its  shares.  They  deai^n  to  issue  a  first 
mortgage  bond  of  $1,750,000  at  6  per  cent,  interest; 
15,660  preferred  shares  of  £10  each,  bearing  a 
cumulative  interest  "Of  6  per  cent,  extending  to  six 
years'  arrears,  to  be  increased  pari  pasmt,  with  the 
dividend  on  the  ordlna^  shares  as  soon  as  the  earn- 
ings on  the  road  are  sufficient  to'  pay  6  per  cent,  on 
the  latter,  and  156,600  ordinary  shares  of  £10  each. 
The  bondholders  may,  upon  payment  of  10  per  cent., 
or  £20  on  each'  $1,000  Alabama  and  Chattanooga 
first  mortgage  indorsed  bond  of  1869,  become  en- 
titled to  two  preferred  shares  and  to  20  ordinary 
shares  in  the  new  railroad.  After  Sept.  10,  should 
anv  preferred  shares  remain  unapplied  for,  bond- 
holders may  receive  an  excess  allotment  of  both 
styles  of  shares  on  condition  that  they  apply  for  them 
at  the  time  of  making  their  pro  rata  application. 
This  option  is  not  to  interfere  with  the  right  of 
bondholders  to  participate  in  the  benefits  of  the 
compromise  made  by  the  council  of  foreign  bond- 
holders with  the'State  of  Alabama,  the  State  havlnff 
guaranteed  the  bonds  to  the  extent  of  $16,000 
per  completed  mile  and  siding.  It  is  believed 
that  the  proceeds  of  the  preferred  shares 
will  provide  all  the  cash  required,  and  that  the  bal- 
ance can  be  paid  in  bonds.  To  the  circular  is  ap- 
pended a  report  by  R.  Jacnmb  Hood.  C.  E.,  who  was 
sent  out  to  Alabama  by  Messrs.  Erlanger  &  Co.  to 
examine  the  road.  He  says  it  wae  in  a  frightful  con- 
dition a  year  ago,  but  has  since  been  so  far  improved 
that  it  jMiys  a  profit  of  $23,00O.  with  an  expenditure 
of  five  times  as  much  out  of  the  earnings  In  recon- 
struction and  repairs.  StQl,  it  is  only  as  yet  safe  for 
alow  trains  by  daylight,  and  can  only  be'  worked  in 
short  sections,  so  that  three  days  are  constuned  in 
the  transit  m>m  one  end  to  the  other.  It  conse- 
quently does  onlr  a  local  business,  though  one  of  the 
shortest  connecting  lines  for  the  transportation  of 
through  buFiineas  in  the  South.  Mr.  Hood  has  great 
faith  in  the  future  of  the  road,  if  properly  equipped 
and  managed.  His  hopes  are  based  partly  upon  the 
road's  natural  advantages  and  upon  the  "  probability 
of  improvement  in  the  commercial  and  flnanrlal  po- 
sition of  the  Southern  States."  It  la  upon-  his  esti- 
mates and  recommendations  that  Messrs.  Erhmger  8c 
Co.'s  proposition  is  based.  * 

A  CTTRIOUS  ABAXDONMEXT  CASE. 

William  T.  Morgan  is  to  have  an  examination 
before  Justice  Rankin,  in  Jersey  City,  to-morrow,  on 
a  charge  of  abandonment.  His  wife  is  the  daughter 
of  a  Mrs.  Campbell,  a  Scotch  woman,  who,  when  de- 
serted by  her  husband  some  years  ago,  moved  to  Aus- 
tralia. Of  her  three  daiightejrs,  sKe  took  two  with 
her  and  placed  the  other,  who  finally  became  Mor- 
gan's wife,  with  the  girl's  uncle,  John  Mitchell,  of 
Orange,  N.  J.  Morgan  was  19  and  the  girl  was  16 
when  they  were  married  by  the  Pastor  of  the  Charles- 
Street  Methodist  Church.  For  three  months  the 
couple  lived  happily  enough  tog^her,  but  the  ffirl'a 
health  became  impaired,  and  Dr.  Adams,  who  at- 
tended her,  advised  her  that  married  life  did 
not  agree  with  her.  A  mutual  agr^ment  to 
separate  was  the  result.  The  young  couple 
went  before  Justice  .  Martini  to  sign  the 
formal  articles.  To  make  the  articles  the 
more  binding.  Justice  Martini  ad%'ised  tl^eni  to  de> 
strOT  their  marriage  certificate.  Mrs.  Morgan  took 
hold  of  one  end  of  the  paper  her  husband  the  other, 
and  at  a  given  signal  they  l>oth  pulled,  the  paper  so 
being  torn  hi  two  pieces.  The  girl  subsequently  had 
her  husband  arrested  for  abandonment,  and  the'mat- 
ter  was  placed  before  a  jury.  Anticipating  an  un- 
favorable verdict,  Morgan,  when  the  case  went  to 
the  jury,  after  he  b.id  given  his  testimony,  fled 
to  Liverpool,  but  whs  sent  back  by  thn  American 
Consul  When  herearni-d  home  he  learned  that  his 
flight  could   have  saved  htm  notlting,   because   the 

inry,  instead  of  rendering  a  verdict  against 
iim,  disagreed.  The  girl  made  overtures  of 
reconciliation  to  her  husband  afterward, 
but  the  necotlatlous  were  stopped  when 
Morgan  found  her  in  the  company  of  another  man. 
A  few  days  ago  she  called  upon  her  husband  at  his 
home  in  Jersey  City  to  bid  him  good-bye,  as  she  was 
ffoing  to  Australia.  At  her  invitation  he  accompanied 
ner  to  the  Morris  and  Essex  Railway  Depot,  in 
Uoboken,  where  her  uncle  forcibly  compelled  him  to 

?o  with  her  to  Orange.  He  had  the  uncle  arrested 
or  abduction,  and  the  girl  immedistely  renewed  her 
suit  for  abandonment  before  Justice  Kaukin.  The 
hearing  haa  been  set  down  for  to-^orruw  morning, 
when  some  spicy  developments  are  expected. 

THE  STABBISa  OF  AXDREW  C0LLIX8. 

Coroner  Flanagan  yesterday  took  the  ante- 
mortem  deposition  of  Andrew  Collins,  of  No.  404 
East  Sixteenth-street,  who  is  l>ing  at  Bellevue  Hos 
pltal  in  an  extremely  critical  condition  from  the 
effects  of  a  stab  wound  In  the  abdomen  Inflicted  by 
James  KiUeen  during  a  quarrel  resultiug  from  a  game 
of  cards  at  2  o'clock  on  Sunday  morning.  The 
following  is  the  dying  nuui's  statement:  "On 
Saturday  night  James  Daly,  a  nmn  named 
Lyons,  and  myself  were  playing  cards  in  the 
llauor  saloon  at  Seventeenth^treet  andr  Avenue  A, 
when  a  quarrel  grew  out  of  the  gamv  between  myself 
aud  Daly  and  Lyons.  We  left  the  saloon,  and.  still 
disputing,  walked  down  Avenue  A  to  .Sixteenth-street, 
where  we  were  jolnod  by  Andrew  KlUeien,  who  came 
toward  us  from  a  party  of  men  standine  on  the  cor- 
ner. He  took  part  In  the  quarrelj  and  ne  and  Daly 
attacked  me  with  a  bale-stick.  Bemg  worsted,  I  left 
tiiem  and  went  back  to  a  saloon  near  the  first  one. 
Leaving  there  at  about  2  o'clock  On  Sunday  morning, 
I  came  face  to  fa^e  with  Kllleen  and  Daly.     Killeen 

cried,     'You  ,   we'll    fix    you    now,    sure,'    and 

plunged  a  knife  Into  my  abdomen  and  then  ran 
away."  Killeen  is  still  at'large  despite  the  efforts  of 
the  Police  to  capture  him.  It  Is  feared  that  he  has 
made  his  escape  from  the  City  and  taken  refuge  with 
his  uncle,  who  Is  a  miner  at  Scranton,  Fenn.  Daly, 
who  was  arrested  soon  after  the  stabbing,  was  yes- 
terday committed  to  prison  to  await  the  result  of  the 
injuries.  Hu^  Warren  and  Michael  Curley,  who 
were  arrested  as  witnesses,  were  sent  to  the  House 
of  Detention.

Patrick  Lynch  was  arrested  in  Jersey  City 
Sunday,  for  having,  dttring  a  drunken  row,  bitten  the 
nose  of  James  McBride.  Erysipelas  set  in  where  the 
teeth  penetrated,  and  it  is  feared  that  McBride  will 
have  to  have  his  nose  cut  off. 

The  Newark  silk  Tuill  resumed  work  yester- 
day, but  only  120  hands,  just  half  the  former  num- 
ber, were  furnished  with  work.  If  business  does  not 
improve  it  is  thought  the  mill  'will  close  again  when 
the  orders  now  on  the  books  are  filled. 

A  large  number  of  houses  in  Roseville,  the 

occupants  of  which  are  temporarily  absent  at  Sum- 
mer resorts,  have  been  entered  by  sneak-thieves  and 
stripped  of  lead  pipes  and  ^ts  fixtures  and  anything 
portable  worth  carrying  off.  Yesterday  Henry  and 
George  Rudden,  James  McBride,  James  Kay,  and

Maggie  Mulling  was  yesterday  arraigned  be* . 
fore  Justice  Davis  in  Jersey  City,  on  a  charge  of 
drunkenness.  She  said  that  while  she  was  in  an  intel- 
ligence office  in  New- York,  a  man  engaged  her  to  do 
some  house-work.  She  followed  him  and  he  led  her 
to  Jersey  City  under  pretense  of  taking  her  to  his 
house.  He  plied  her  freely  with  liquor,  and  on  the  cor- 
ner of  Washington  and  Morgan  streets  he  attempted  to 
outrage  her.  Her  shrieks  attracted  the  attention  of 
a  policeman,  who  arrested  her  for  drunkenness.  Jus- 
tice Davis  is  holding  the  case  for  investigation. 

Further  evidence  was  taken  in  the  matter  of 
the  charges  against  Chief  Benedict,  of  the  Newark 

Fire  Department,  yesterday.  Alderman  Lister  said 
he  did  not  know  where  six  such  horses  could  be 
bought  in  Newark,  and  he  considered  them  cheap  at 
$3(KI  apiece.  Daniel  McGee,  driver,  testified  the 
horse  offered  by  Mr.  Meyer  was  not  suitable  for  the 
department ;  It  had  a  fair  trial  Isaac  L.  Young  tes- 
tlned  that  he  loaned  Chief  Benedict  the  buggy  he 
used,  the  Chief  to  pay  for  wear  and  tear  ana  any 
damage  4one ;  every  Qiief  liad  been  furnished  with  a 
buggy  on  the  same  terms.  The  committee  unani- 
mously exonerated  Chief  Benedict  from  the  charges. 
Some  oomment  has  been  made  in  Jersey  City 
over  an  apparent  discrepancy  between  the  statement 
of  the  amount  due  the  County  by  the  City  for  past 
due  taxes  made  by  County  Collector  Kingslujd  and 
those  made  by  City  Collector  Love.  Mr.  Kingshutd 
claims  that  the  amount  due  is  $500,000.  Mr.  Love 
claims  that  it  Is  but  STl.OOO,  with  a  possible  addi- 
tion of  $22,000.  City  Collector  Love  explaiced  the 
deficiency  yesterday.  The  Supreme  Court  has  de- 
cided, he  says,  that  under  the  City  Charter  Jersey 
City  is  obliged  to  pay  her  county  tax  only  when  and 
as  it  is  reeelved.  There  is  no  difference  between  him 
and  Mr.  Kingslaad  as  to  the  amount  of  past  due 
taxes  assessed  against  the  citv.  But  of  the  $500,000 
'  due,  the  city  authorities  have  collected  from  the  tax- 
ln«fffl»  oa^^73,000i  and^  tto  ii^all*.  Mr.  Lovo^ .

"Washisgton,  Aug.  21. — The  Southern 
^p«rs  keep  np  their  abnae  of  Postmaster-Gen- 
eral Key  for  his  nse  of  the  espression  "  erring 
Southern  brethren "  in  his  Bennington  speech. 
The  Baltimore  Sun  says:  "He  is  eating  too 
much  hmnble  pie."  Another  paper  calls  him 
"  the  I^riah  Heep  of  the  South,*'  and  expressc  s 
the  opinion  that  "he  will  not  make  many 
friends  even  amon?  the  Yaoks  b^  being 
such  a  very  humble  being."  Another  thinks 
there  is  no  necessity,  in  order  to  bring  about 
the  era  of  good  feeling,  for  any  Southern  man 
to  grovol  in  the  dust.  Another  compares  him 
to  "  a  trick  mule  brought  forward  toward  the 
slose  of  an  entertainment,  for  the  special  de- 
light of  the  audience ;"  and  expresses  the  hope 
that,  ''when  he  undertakes  hereafter  to  eat 
dirt  for  the  amusement  of  his  audience,  he  will 
have  the  honesty  to  do  it  for  himself, 
and  not  attempt  to  give  honor  to  the 
operation  by  forging  the  indorsement  of  the 
Southern  people."  Still  another,  more  furious 
than  the  rest,  the  Charleston  News,  say^;  "Er- 
ring be  hanged !  Southerners  are  not  willing  to 
be  the  brethren  of  any  living  people 
■on  such  terms.  They  do  not  admit 
that  they  erred.  They  did  no|;  err. 
They  believed  they  were  right.  They  were 
right."  And  it  indignantly  adds,  "If  Mr.  Key 
was  taken  into  the  Cabinet  as  a  Southern 
Democrat  of  unimpeachable  record,  it  is  time  to 
put  him  out." 

Secretary  MeCrary,  who  was  present  at  Ben- 
ingtoB,  and  who  heard  Mr.  Key's  speech,  does 
not  consider  it  necessaryf  or  the  Sonthem  people 
to  excite  themselves  about  the  matter.  He  says 
that  the  Postmaster-General  uttered  the  remark 
"erring  brethren,"  In  jest  evidentiv,  and  that 
it  was  greeted  with  a  good-humored  laugh.

Washetgtos,  Aug.  21. — For  a  great 
many  years  the  Government  has  been  system- 
atically robbed  by  timber  thieves.  In  Michigan, 
Wi.  coQsin,  Minnesota,  and  £ious>n:i ;  in  fact. 
wherever  the  Govamment  has  owned  lands 
covered  with  timber  of  any  va'ue.  the  depreda- 
tions have  been  continuous  and  extensive.  The 
thieves  go  boldly  upon  Government  lands 
in  the  proper  season,  and  cut  as  many 
trees  as  they  can.  which  they  float  down  the 
streams  and  sell  to  the  lumber-dealers,  who  are 
glad  to  buy  at  a  minimum  price  and  ask  no 
questions.  In  this  wav  Government  lands  are 
rendered  valueless.  Timber-dealexo  will  not  buy 
them  because  they  have  been  stripped  of  the  best 
trees,  and  farmers  don't  want  them  because 
they  are  as  a  ru'.e.  worthless  for  agricultural 
purposes.  The  Government  has  been  en- 
deavoring for  many  years  to  put  a 
stop  to  this  robbery,  but  has  not 
been  successful  In  many  instances  the 
officers  of  the  local  land  ofSces  have  been  in  col- 
lusion with  the  thieves,  and  in  almost  every  in- 
stance where  measures  of  any  severity  have 
been  adopted,  the  cases  have  been  compromised. 
Since  lS54the  Government  has  recovered  en 
this  account  only  $155,000,  and  to  get  this 
amount,  over  $50,000.  has  been  expended, 
■while  the  total  loss  to  the  Government  foots  np 
millions.  Upon  assusning  the  duties 
of  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  Mr. 
Scbtnrz  had  his  attention  called  to 
this  state  of  affairs,  which  he  at 
once  set  about  to  remedy.  He  discarded  all  the 
methods  formerly  in  use  for  the  correction  of 
the  abuse,  and  proceeded  upon  a  plan  of  his 
own.  The  result  is  that  he  has  practically  put 
an  end  to  timber  depredations,  and  has  in.%TS*^ , 
hands  already,  through  legal  seizure,  felled  tim-  1 
ber  the  value  of  which  amounts  to  three  < 
or  four  times  as  much  as  all  the  Gov- 
erment  has  heretofore  recovered  on  this 
account.  His  course  has  been  pursued  quietly, 
and  the  thieves  have  had  no  inkling  of  his  pur- 
pose until  they  found  themselves  in  the  meshes 
of  the  law.  He  is  daily  besieged  by  letters  ap- 
pealing for  mercy  or  begging  for  compromise, 
but  he  turns  to  all  such  petitions  a  deaf  ear.  He 
says  he  "will  see  the  timber  burned  before  he 
■will  compromise,  and  he  ■odll  not  part  "with  a 
Soot  of  it  except  at  the  regular  market  price.

Washington,  Aug.  21.  —  Appraiser 
.Dntcher  arrived  here  this  morning  and  returned 
to  Xew- York  to-night.  He  had  an  extended  inter- 
■viewwith  aelang  Secretajry  McCormick  to-day 
in  regard  to  the  management  of  bis  ofSce;  and 
was  for  several  hoars  closeted  ■with  Assistant 
Secretary  French,  ■with  whom  he  discussed 
the  appraisement  of  sugars.  Pending  the 
dmision  regarding  the  duty  on  colored 
sugars,  large  cargoes  of  the  article  have 
arrived  at  New-Tork,  which  the  importers  are 
anxious  to  get  out  of  bond,  and  Mr.  mitcher  was 
anxious  to  make  some  arrangement  by  which 
they  cotild  bo  accommodated.  The  chemists 
who  are  making  the  tests  of  these  colored  sugars 
do  not  agree  in  repird  to  the  coloring  matter, 
but  the  experts  in  the  department  on  whom  the 
government  ofBcials  rely  are  of  the  opinion  that 
the  manufacturers  ship  sugars  in  this  colored 
state  so  as  to  avoid  paying  duties  on  refined 
sugars,  for  by  an  easy  process  they  can  be  re- 
fined after  their  arrival  in  this  country.

Washington,  Aug.  21. — The  onder  of 
May  14  last,  authorizing  contracts  for  clothing, 
subsistence,  forage,  fue',  quarters,  and  trans- 
portation of  the  Army,  to  be  made  to  meet  actual 
necessity  until  D?c.  31,  18'77,  by  which  time 
Congress  will  hive  a.:tei  upcn  the  Army  Ap- 
propriation bill,  has  been  modified  so  as  to 
authorize  division  and  department  commanders 
to  order  the  purchase  on  credit  of  such  material 
andsnppl'es  as  may  be  necessary  for  the  fiscal 
Vear  ending  June  30,  1S78,  at  posts  and  sta- 
tions in  the  several  departments  and  divisions 
■which  it  would  not  be  practicable  to  supply  on 
accotint  of  the  inclemency  of  the  season  and  the 
difficulty  of  transportation  during  the  period 
from  October  to  June.  Umler  section  3,732  of 
the  Beyised  Statutes,  contracts  for  clothing, 
subsislence,  &c.,  for  the  Army  and  Navy  can  be 
made  in  the  absence  of  an  appropriation  for  that 
purpose,  but  cannot  exceed  the  necessities  of 
the  current  year. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Navy  has  issued  a  eir- 
eular  of  instniction  to  commandants  of  Na^vy- 
yarda,  directing  that  the  labor  rolls  in  the  yards 
mtist  exhibit  the  actual  rating  and  description 
of  the  work  performed  by  each  employe,  ind 
employes  rated  in  one  capacity  must  not  be  em- 
ployed in  any  other. 

The  Navy  Department  has  received  informa- 
tion to  the  effect  that  the  United  States  steamer 
Omaha  iras  at  Callao,  Peru,  on  July  28,  and 
expected  to  leave  or.  Aug.  1  for  Valparaiso  and 
TsJcahuana,  touching  at  intermediate  ports. 
Bear  Admiral  Preble,  commanding  the  South 
Pacific  Squadron,  reports  the  health  of  the 
ofBcers  and  crew  on  that  station  as  good.  The

TKE  IMITATION  OF  BANK  NbTES. 

DECEPTIVE     BUSINESS  CARDS— PERSONS  WHO 
ISSUE  THEM  TO  BE  PEOSECCTED. 

"Washington,  Aug.  21. — Many  complaints 
have  reached  the  Treasury  Department  that 
merchants  and  business  men  in  various  parts  of 
the  country  have  been  in  the  l»»bit  of  printing 
business  cards  bearing  such  a  close  appearance 
to  the  United  States  and  national  bank  issues 
that  many  people  have  been  deceived  thereby, 
and  qtiantities  of  it  passed  as  good  money  by 
persons  who  have  gathered  a  number  of  these 
cards.  Some  of  the  samples  received  at  the 
Secret  Service  Division  here  are  of  a  character 
to  deceive  even  observant  persons,  certain  sam- 
ples just  received  representing  fractional  cur- 
rency and  five  and  ten  doUar  notes.  While  they 
bear  upon  their  face  the  fact  that  they  are  not 
really  genuine,  yet  they  are  so  very  close  in  their 
imitation  as  to  have  deceived  many  people,  and 
there  is  evidence  here  of  one  of  these  cards, 
issued  by  a  firm  in  Philadelphia  without  any 
evil  intent  whatever,  having  been  passed  upon 
^uite  a  number  of  people.  These  issues  are  all 
in  -violation  of  law,  of  which  the  persons  em- 
ploying such  means  of  advertising  their  busi- 
ness seem  to  be  totally  ignorant.  Section 
5,430  of  the  Revised  Statutes  in  reference 
thereto  forbids  the  engraving  or  priisting  of 
anything  in  the  impression  or  likeness  of  any 
United  States  obligation  or  other  security,  or  any 
part  thereof,  except  under  the  authority  of  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury.  The  penalty  is  a 
heavy  fine  and  imprisonment.  The  practice, 
however,  continues,  and  all  because  of  igno- 
rance of  the  law.  Many  indictments  have  been 
found  against  persons  on  this  account,  and  the 
department  now  intends  to  prosecute  to  the  full 
extent  further  continuations  of  this  business  as 
a  matter  of  protection  to  the  community,  the 
poor  and  more  ignorant  members  of  which  are 
frequently  imposed  upon.

continues  to  improve. 

Secretary  Schurz  ■will  dismiss  the  charges 
recentiy  brought  a^nst  Mr.  Clark,  architect  of 
the  Capitol,  they  being  too  trivial  in  his  opinion 
to  deserve  notice. 

Mr.  'William  Forsythe,  for  many  years 
past  Surveyor  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  was 
removed  from  office  to-day  and  Sir.  John  A. 
Partridge  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

The  Post  Office  Department  announces 
that  the  brig  Excelsior  will  sail  from  New-York

Gen.  Terry  to^iay  telegraphed  to  the  Sec- 
retary of  War  from  St.  Paul  that  he  ■was  ill,  and 
would  not  be  able  to  traverfor  a  day  or  two,  so 
that  it  Is  probable  that  he  will  not  be  here  be- 
fore the  last  of  the  week,  amd  the  Sitting  Bull 
Commission  will  not  get  started  before  next 
week.  Secretary-Slills.  of  the  Canadian  Interior 
Department,  is  expected  to  meet  the  commis- 
sion at  Chicago,  and  go  with  them  to  Sitting 
Bull's  camp. 

A  letter  was  received  at  the  Secret  Service 
Division  of  the  Treasury  to-day  inclosing  certain 
pieces  of  clothing  taken  from  the  person  of  a 
man  who  was  found  murdered  in  the  wooda 
near  Huston ville.  Ky.  The  letter  was  from  a 
Deputy  Marshal,  who  was  under  the  impression 
that  the  murdered  man  was  an  officer  ^  the 
Secret  Service  Division  and  had  been  alsassi- 
nated  by  coimterfeiters,  and  the  clothing  was 
sent  here  for  identification.  The  Chief  of  the 
division  here,  however,  says  that  it  was  not  an 
officer  of  his  division  who  was  thus  found.  His 
theory  is  that  it  was  a  person  who  approached 
counterfeiters  with  a  genuine  intention  of  deal- 
ing with  them,  and  who  was  suspected  of  being 
a  detective,  and  after  bein^  decoyed  into  a  pri- 
vate place  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  trade 
with  the  "Coney  men,"  was  then  killed  by 
members  of  a  desperate  gang  of  counterfeiters 
in  Kentucky,  who.  though  few  in  number,  have 
yet  given  the  Government  much  trouble. 

TBE  PRESIDENTS  ORDER. 
Bpedai  Dttpateh  to  the  Nea-Tork  Tiiiua. 

Washington,  Aug.  21. — The  Pennsyl- 
vania Republican  Association  has  long  been  one 
of  the  most  usef  ol  elements  in  political  cam- 
paign work  here.  The  members  are  all  de- 
partment clerks,  and  have  devoted  a  great  deal 
of  their  time  and  contributed  much  of  their 
money  in  the  distribution  of  documents.  -As 
their  State  is  so  near,  many  have  obtained  leaves 
of  absence  at  election  time  and  done  service  on 
■the  stump  at  their  home.  Soon  after  the  Presi- 
dent's order  in  regard  to  office-holier^  was  is- 
sued the  association  addressed  a  letter  to  the 
President  stating  the  pnrpose  of  their  organiza- 
tion and  inclosing  a  Ust  of  members,  with  the 
inquiry  whether  its  future  existence  would  be  a 
violation  of  his  order.  The  President  nsferred 
the  letter  to  Attorney-General  Devens,  who  re- 
plied in  the  affirmative.  Last  night  the  associa- 
tion met  and  dissolved. 


GENERAL  POnilCAI  NEWS. 


TSE  SA  TELLITES  OF  MARS. 
Washington,  Aug.  21. — The  official  re- 
port of  Rear  Admiral  John  Rodgers,  Super- 
intendent of  the  Naval  Observatory  in  this  city, 
in  regard  to  the  recent  discovery  of  the  satellites 
of  Mara,  was  received  at  the  Navy  Departinent 
this  morning.  He  says,  from  observations  made 
by  Prof .  Asaph  Hall,  of  the  Observatory,  with 
the  26-inch  refractor,  the  planet  Mars  has  been 
found  to  have  at  least  two  satellites.  Prof. 
Hall  finds,  on  examining  his  observing  book, 
that  the  satellite  which  was  first  discovered, 
and  which  he  supposed  was  seen  for  the  first  time 
on  Aug.  16,atllh.  42m.,  had  been,  in  fact, 
observed  on  Aug.  11,  at  14h.  40m.;  but  as  he 
had  no  opportunity  at  that  date  to  wait  for  the 
planet's  motions,  he  failed  to  recognize  the  ob- 
ject as  a  satellite.  It  was,  however,  recognized 
and  observed  as  such  on  Aug.  16,  and  has  been 
observed,  on  the  17th,  18th,  and  19th  of 
August  This  satellite  has  an  apparent  distance 
from  the  centre  of  Mars  of  82  seconds,  and  its 
time  of  ^evolution  around  the  planet  is 
30  hours\~v.  Its  magnitude,  Prof.  Hall 
estimates  astUe  13th  or  14th.  The  plane-  of 
its  orbit  has  now  a  considerable  inclining  to  tie 
line  of  sight  from  the  earth  to  Mars.  At  its 
elongations  its  angles  of  positions  Are  72  deJ 
grees  and  252  degrees.  The  second  satellite 
was  discovered  Aug.  17,  at  16h.  It  appears 
to  be  quite  as  bright  as  the  first  one  and 
at  its  elongations  has  nearly  the  same  angles  of 
position  which  correspond  to  the  equator  of 
Mars.  Its  apparent  distance  at  the  elongations 
and  its  periodic  time  are  not  yet  kno^wn..  The 
follotring  are  the  preliminary  elements  of  the 
outer  satellite,  as  calculated  by  Prof.  Simon 
Newcomb  :  Major  axis  of  orbit,  82  sounds  ; 
angles  of  major  axis,  70  degrees  and  250  de- 
grees ;  minor  axis.  28  seconds ;  passage  of  satel- 
Hte  through  ■western  apsis,  Aug.  19,  16h.  40m. 
The  period  of  the  inner  satellite  or  satellites  is 
is  so  short,  probably  less  than  eight  hoias,  that 
it  cannot  be  ftKe<t

THE  STRUGGLE  FOE  THE  NOMINATIONS — 
AN  OUTLINE  OF  WHAT  THE  PLATFORM 
WILL  CONTAIN. 

SpeelaZ  ZHtpaidt  to  Hie  ITew-YorJt  TIma. 

Hareisbueg,  Penn.,  Aug.  21. — The  Dem- 
ocratic Party  of  the  State  is  represented  here  in 
force,  the  attendance  at  this  convention  being 
exceptionaBy  large.  As  to  character,  respect- 
ability, ability,  and  all  that  goes  to  make  up  a 
representative  body,  it  is  far  in  advance  of  any 
similar  gathering  of  the  Democratic  Party  seen 
in  this  city  for  years.  In  the  selection  of  dele- 
gates, the  masses  of  the  party  seemed  intui- 
tively guided  by  the  conviction  that  success  was 
within  their  grasp,  and  as  a  consequence  they 
chose  representative  men,  men  of  respectability 
and  influence.  The  result  is  an  absence  of 
the  drunkenness  and  rowdyism  so  frequent'y 
characteristic  of  gatherings  like  the  one  under 
consideration.  As  to  the  ticket  the  convention 
will  place  in  nomination,  there  is  no  doubt  it 
will  be  a  strong  one.  Coolness  and  moderation 
seem  to  govern  in  the  counsels  of  the  leaders, 
and,  while  the  fight  between  the  adherejits  of 
the  various  candidates  is  stubborn  and  deter- 
mined, there  is  au  absence  of  that  bitterness  and 
jealousy  which  so  often  sows  discord  in  the 
ranks  after  the  nominations  have  been  made. 
The  composition  of  the  ticket  no  one  can  at 
present  determine.  The  air  is  filled  -with  con- 
flicting rumors,  and  those  who  yesterday  claimed 
to  know  the  names  of  the  favorites  now  con- 
fess themselves  in  the  dark.  As  was  to  be  ex- 
pected, the  contest  for  the  State  Treasuryship 
is  most  stubborn  and  most  uncertain.  Barr.  of 
Pittsburg;  Noyes,  of  Clinton,  and  Temple,  of 
Green,  have  up  to  this  evening  divided  the 
strength  of  the  convention  between  them. 
Barr  made  his  canvass  on  the  strength  of  his 
Catholicism,  and  his  opponents  claim  that  that 
has  beaten  him.  and  that  he  is  ou:  of  the  flght. 
Noyes'  opponents  charee  him  ■with  being  inter- 
ested m  the  $9,000,000  bill,  and  claim  that 
that  has  destroyed  his  chances.  Certiiin  it  is 
that  the  friends  of  both  men  admit  that  they  are 
practically  out  of  the  contest.  Temple  depended 
on  such  a  condition  of  affiiirs,  and  hoped  to  slip 
between  the  two  and  carry  off  the  prize.  But 
the  friends  of  Barr  and  Noyes  say  they  will  not 
unite  on  Temple,  and  that  a  new"  man'  must  be 
selected.  Some  delegates  think  that  they  have 
found  this  man  in  the  person  of  Powell,  of 
Bradford,  a  strong  man.  and  one  who,  if  nomi- 
nated, would  prove  a  troublesome  candidate  for 
the  Republicans.  For  Auditor,  Gen.  Schell, 
of  Bedford,  still  has  the  best  show  for 
success,  although  his  opponents  are  distributing 
circulars  which,  while  not  mentioning  names, 
are  generally  accepted  as  alluding  to  Mr.  Schell, 
wherein  they  warn  the  delegates  against  those 
who  are  not  entirely  free  from  the  entangling 
alliances  of  corporate  intiuences.  In  view  of  the 
pecuhar  attitude  of  the  working  men  of  the 
tjtate,  the  mere  suspicion  that  a  candidate  is  the 
employe  or  servant  of  a  corporation  is  sufficient 
to  ruin  his  chauces  for  position.  Senator 
Yerkes,  of  Bucks,  is  mentioned  as  a  strong  op- 
ponent to  Mr.  Schell,  and  the  friends  of  the  lat- 
ter gentleman  are  not  as  confident  as  they  were 
12  hours  ago. 

The  friends  of  Judge  Trunkey,  of  Venango, 
claim  that  his  chances  for  the  nomination  for 
the  Supreme  Judgeship  have  greatly  improved 
since  last  night,  and  that,  while  there  was  no 
reason  to  doubt,  success  is  now  assured.  Judge 
Ross,  of  Montgomery,  is  a  new  man  mentioned 
in  connection  with  the  office. 

This  is  the  situation  of  ajfairs  at  this  time. 
What  changes  the  next  12  hours  may  bring 
about  no  one  can  predict.  The  platform  ^vilT 
be  in  a  great  measure  a  reiteration  of  that 
of  St.  Louis.  There  will  be  the  Usual  declara- 
tions of  States  rights.  Republican  corruption 
and  maladministration,  and  a  reference  to  the 
fraud  by  which  the  Presidency  w.-is  secured  to 
Hayes.  There  will  be  an  attempt  made  to  in- 
coiT>orate  in  the  platform  a  resolution  to  catch 
the  labor  vote,  and  it  is  thought  there  will  be  a 
fight  on  this  question.  It  is  contended  that 
the  party  which  secures  the  support  of  tho 
worlang  men  in  the  coming  campaign  will  carry 
the  State  by  a  large  majority ;  hence  the  Demo- 
crats ■will  endeavor  to  forestall  the  Republicans 
on  this  question.  But  there  is  a  strong 
section  of  both  parties  which  believe 
the  labor  question  should  be  left  out 
of  politics,  and  this  faction  of  Democrats  will 
fight  against  such  a  plank  in  the  platform.  The 
proceedings  to-morrow  will  excite  unwonted  in- 
terest. Mr.  Schnatterly,  of  Fayette,  will  be  the 
temporary  Chairman,  and  it  is  likely  that  after 
the  permanent  organization  is  effected  the  con- 
vention will  adjourn  till  the  Committee  on  Resc- 
lations  reports,  when  the  real  business  ■will  begin. 

BALTIMORE  CITY  POLITICS.

Baltimore,  Aug.  21. — The  Campaign 
Committee  of  the  Reform  Party  met  to-night  to 
organize  for  the  Mayoralty  canvass.  Sub-com- 
mittees were  appointed  to  form  associations  on 
the  basis  of  municipal  reform  in  each  ward  and 
to  promote  the  cause  of  Henry  M.  Warfield,  the 
candidate  for  Mayor.  .\n  address  to  the  people 
was  ordered,  and  preparations  were  made  for 
mas*~-meetings.  There  was  discus-sion  of  an  effort 
to  unite  the  Reform,  the  Working  Men's,  and  the 
Republican  Parties  in  opposition  to  the  regular 
Democratic  ■  nominees,  but  the  prospects  are 
not  favorable  for  such  a  coalition.  It  is  more 
likely  that  there  will  be  four  candidates  for 
JIayor,  and  that  there  will  he  a  scrub  race, 
■with  the  chances  of  each  nearly  equal.

Hon.  C.  P.  Stickney  will  represent  Fall  River. 
It  is  understood  that  the  meeting  will  decide

TO  BE  TRIED  FOR  MURDER. 

SpecialDiapateh to  tJte  NetD.York  Timet. 

Beading,  Penn.,  Aug.  21. — The  trial  of 
David  Ezra  Risser  for  the  murder  of  Joseph  F. 
Miller  will  begin  in  Lebanon  to-morrow  before 
Judge  Henderson.  Miller,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered, was  murdered  on  the  morning  of  April  2, 
1876,  near  Shafferstown,  Penn.,  a  short  dis- 
tance from  his  house.  The  wounds  were  in- 
flicted by  means  of  a  club  and  a  knife,  and  the 
snspectedmurderer  was  a  tenant  of  Miller.  The 
victim  had  $600  on  his  person  at  the  time,  and 
this  was  the  prize  which  tempted  the  accused  to 
■waylay  and  kill  him.  The  evidence  aeainst  Risser 
is  to  the  effect  that  footprints  were  discovered  in 
the  grain  field  adjoining  the  road  where  Miller's 
dead  body  was  foimd.  These  footprints  were 
made  by  a  maimed  foot  such  as  Risser  has,  and 
Risser*3  boots  exactiy  fitted  these  footprints. 
A  bloodstained  axe  was  also  found  in  Risser's 
house.  He  was  also  aware  of  the  fact  that  Mil- 
ler had  this  money  about  his  person.

Old  Saybrook,  Conn.,  Aug.  21.— The  re- 
ception tendered  to  Chief-Justice  Waite  and 
Mrs.  Waite  by  er- Police  Commissionei  Thomas 
C.  Acton,  at  his  charming  country  retidence  in 
this  quaint  old  town,  to-day,  was  an  enjoyable 
affair.  The  reception  was  an  informal  one,  and, 
as  Mr.  Acton  remarkeil  this  afternoon,  it  was  a 
mere  village  affair ;  but  his  words  were  sugges- 
tive of  more  than  they  were  intended  to  convey, 
and  the  rural  f  imolicity  of  the  gathering  was 
tempered  with  a  de:i?htful  display  of  old- 
fashioned  courtliness.  There  was  a  goodly 
sprinkling  of  the  city  element  among  the  400 
personswho  came  tagether  to  greet  the  Chief- 
Justice  of  the  Unite  States  Supreme  Court  near 
tho  spot  where  his  boyhood  was  passed.  Mr. 
Acton's  residence,  which  is  situated  on  one  of 
the  shady  side  streets  of  old  Saybrook,  directly 
opposite  the  Acton  Library,  which  he  presented 
to  the  town  in  1873,  is  a  commodious 
house,  and  is  surrounded  by  extensive 
grounds  which  the  owner  delights  to  cul- 
tivate in  his  leisure  hours.  At  3:30 
o'clock  this  afternoon  the  Chief-Justice  and 
Mrs.  Waite  arrived  from  their  home  in  Lyme, 
just  across  the  Connecticut  River,  and  were  re- 
ceived by  Mr.  Acton  and  Camily  quite  informal- 
ly. The  Judge  is  as  browu  as  a  berry,  and  the 
old  associations  which  the  aftomoon  recalled 
completely  destroyed  his  judicial  bearing  and 
made  him  once  more  a  boy  amid  the  scenes  of 
his  early  life.  Tho  town  of  Saybrook  has  a  his- 
tory, and  one  which  is  more  interesting  than 
tiiat  of  most  American  country  towns.  Two 
hundred  or  more  years  ago  it  was  laid  out  by 
Lord  Say,  whose  memory  is  still  ^beld  in  high 
esteem  in  this  neighborhood.  It  wa.i  intended 
to  be  a  great  city,  but  its  great  main  avenue, 
wider  than  the  broadest  street  in  New-York,  is 
to-day  merely  a  country  road. 

At  4  o'clock  the  guests  began  to  arrive,  and 
they  came  and  went  incessantly  till  dusk.  The 
house  was  beautified  ■with  flowers,  and  the  guests 
sauntered  through  the  rooms  at  their  leisure, 
or  gathered  in  groups  and  talked  of 
bygone  days  and  deeds.  There  were  mingling 
in  the  buzz  of  conversation  the  feeble  tones  of 
old  age,  the  grave  voice  of  persons  in  middle 
life,  and  the  merry  laughter  ot  young  girls.  In 
the  dining-room '  the  ship  of  State  reposed 
calmly  in  a  tranquil  sea,  both  ship  and  sea 
oeing  tastefully  wrought  by  deft  hands  of  roses 
and  lilies  and  pansies  and  other  fragrant  flow- 
ers. As  to  Mr.  .\cton*s  gue.sts  besides  the 
Chief  Ju.stice  and  his  ■wife,  they  included  many 
persons  of  importance.  Hon.  Marshall  Jewell 
was  there,  together  with  Judge  Phelps  and  Mr. 
John  Allen,  formerly  prominent  in  railroad 
affairs.  There  were  also  present  all  the  clergy- 
men of  Saybrook,  Rev.  Messrs.  Heald,  Thurston, 
and  McCall,  and  Dr.  Ewer,  of  New-York.  Much 
interest  centred  among  the  guests  upon  a  num- 
ber of  the  Chief-Justice's  venerable  relatives, 
among  them  3Ir.  George  Chapman,  who  is  near- 
ing  his  90th  year,  and  belongs  to  the  fifth  gene- 
ration of  Saybrook  settlers.  He  is  to-day  as 
straight  as  an  arrow  and  fully  six  feet  in  height. 
Mrs.  Chapman,  Deacon  Clarke  and  his  wife, 
and  Mrs.  Williard.  all  related  to  Mr. 
Waite,  and  all  having  long  since  completed 
four  score  years,  were  also  present.  Mr. 
F.  C.  Wagner,  formerly  Provost  Marshal  in 
New- York,  and  Hon.  J.  J.  Doane,  also  of  New- 
York,  assisted  Mr.  .\cton  in  caring  for  his 
guests.  To-morrow  the  Chief-Justice  will  pre- 
side at  the  meeting  of  the  Selden  family,  of 
which  he  is  a  member,  in  Fcn^wick  Grove. 


PURSER'S  CONTRACT  OF  RELEASE. 


SOME  OP  THE  DETAILS  OF  THE  DOCUMENT — 
THE  EX-MANAGER  OF  THE  CHARTER  OAK 
LOSES  NOTHING  ON  HIS  STOCK. 
Speeiai  Diepatek  to  the  Xew-  York  nin«s. 

Hartford,  Aug.  21.— Mr.  Henry  J.  Ftir- 
ber,  late  financial  manager  of  the  Charter  Oak 
Life  Insurance  Company,  has  been  here  to-day 
for  tho  purpose  of  closing  up  his  matters  with 
the  new  management.  .\s  he  gave  in  his  last 
letter  to  The  Times  an  extract  from  the  con- 
tract under  which  he  disposed  of  his  stock  to 
the  new  officers  and  released  the  company  from 
all  obligations,  there  has  been  a  strong  curiosity 
here  to  know  all  the  details  of  the  con- 
tract, none  of  which  have  been  published.  It 
has  only  appeared  that  he  received  $10,000 
for  his  stock  and  got  the  second  mortgage 
Valley  Road  bonds,  said  to  be  worth  not  over 
$10,000,  though  representing  $1,000,000,  for 
entirely  dissolving  his  connection  with  the 
company.  The  Special  Insurance  Commission 
of  the  Legislature  win  probably,  on  coming  to- 
gether next  month,  obtain  the  full  text  of  the 
document,  so  that  the  precisSfcature  of  all  the 
negotiations  ■will  be  disclosed. .  In  the  absence  of 
that,  it  may  be  stated  that  a  gentleman  well 

?uaUfied  to  speak  has  said  to-day  that  the 
urther  considerations  regarding  the  purchase 
and  sale  of  stock,  and  the  cancellation  of 
all  the  company's  obligations  to  Furber,  are 
in  part  as  follows :  Furber  had  given  three 
notes  of  $25,000  each  to  Matthews,  of  New- 
York,  payable  Aug.  4,  Sept.  4,  and  Oct.  4. 
These  the  company  assured.  He  had  in  his  pos- 
session $41,000  collected  as  the  rent  of  the 
New- York  real  estate  owned  by  the  company, 
and  about  $40,000  from  th'e  productions  of  the 
Ouinnimont  Furnace  in  West  Virginia,  and 
these  sums  of  money  he  was  permitted 
to  retain.  These  items  are  equivalent 
to  about  $155,000,  independent  of  the 
$10,000  he  received  for  his  stock.  He 
had  drawn  out  of  the  company  in 
cash,  under  his  contract,  by  which  the  company 
was  given  a  mortgage  of  $500,000  in  Decem- 
ber, 1875,  to  make  its  technical  impairment 
good,  over  $400,000.  There  was  still  another 
consideration  in  his  contract  of  release  by 
which  a  liability  on  his  part  of  $150,000  to 
Slatthews  was  renewed.  It  appears  from  this 
that  he  sacrificed  nothing  on  his  stock,  in  view 
of  the  favorable  arrangements  he  made  in  the 
settlement  of  other  matters,  by  which  he  was 
benefited  in  cash  receipts  and  reduction  of  lia- 
bilities over  $700,000. 


SALE  OF  LIFE  INSURANCE  STOCK. 
SpeciaX  Diaalch  to  the  Nea-Tort  Timet. 

Chicago,  HI.,  Aug.  21.— The  opening  of 
the  bids  for  the  sale  of  the  capital  stock  of  the 
National  Life  Insurance  Company,  which  is  one 
of  the  leading  assets  of  the  Republic,  now  in  a 
Receiver's  hands,  was  begun  here  to-day.  Ob- 
jection was  made  to  the  sale,  but  the  court  de- 
cided to  receive  them.  The  bids  were 
as  follows :  Greenleaf,  Norris  &  Co., 
New-York,  $20  per  share  for  the  whole 
stock  of  10,000  shares,  $200,000  ;  William 
Louis  Smith,  $21  per  share  for  the  entire 
stock;  George  C.  Clarke,  Chicago,  $26  per 
share  for  5,200  shares,  and  .$20  for  the  re- 
mainder. 'The  court  held  the  case  to  be  a  very 
complicated  one,  and  decided  to  not  make  any 
award  at  present.  Notice  was  given  that  a  pe- 
tition would  be  filed  on  Friday  asking  for  the 
setting  aside  of  the  order  of  sfde  and  making  the 
National  Life  Comply  defendant  in  the  suits

Chicago,  m.,  Aug.  21. — A  special  from 
Green  Bay,  Wis.,  says  that  a  severe  tornado 
visited  that  city  at  2  o'clock  this  afternoon, 
doing  eonsideiable  misoellaneons  damage,  ee- 

peciikUy  in  tlie  business  portion  of  the  city. 
Roofs  were  blown  off  of  several  stores.  The 
wind^as  accompanied  by  a  heavy  rain  which 
also  did  much  damsee.

London,  Aug.  22. — The  Dails  Nact'  Con- 
stantinople special  reports  that  the  organization 
of  the  new  Turkish  gendarmerie  by  Col.  Valen- 
tine Baker  is  now  completed. 

Vienna,  Aug.  21.— The  PolUkal  Correspond- 
ence't  Constantinople  special  says  the  Porte  has 
ordered  the  immediate  concentration  of  50,000 
Militia  of  the  second  class  at  Adrianople,  Sofia, 
and  other  points  near  the  scene  of  operations. 

CoN'STANTiiroPLE,  Aug.  21. — Suleiman  Pasha 
telegraphs,  under  date  of  Aug.  19,  that  he  has 
passed  through  Kazanlik  and  occupied  the  town 
of  Schipka,  which  had  been  evacuated  by  the 
Russians. 

Bucharest,  Aug.  21.-7Tha  Russian  staff  in 
its  recent  deliberations  favored  the  immediate 
vigorous  resumption  of  operations,  and  was  of 
the  opinion  that  no  point  should  be  volunt'^rily 
evacuated. 

St.  Petebsbuwj,  Aug.  21.— A  special  dispatch 
to  the  GoU)g,  reproduced  by  the  official  Russian 
agency,  admits  that  the  Rns.'rian  losses 
in  the  two  battles  before  PlevntC  were 
8,000  to  10,000  men,  half  of  whom 
were  killed  or  seriously  wounded.  About  5,000 
are  in  the  hospitals  at  Sistova,  Simnitza,  and 
Tumu-Maguereli.  Of  200  persons  attached  to 
the  Red  Cross  ambulances  40  were  killed  while 
collecting  the  wounded. 

London,  -\ug.  21. — The  report  con- 
tained in  a  Times'  Vienna  dispatch 
that  Kossuth,  in  a  proclamation 
to      the      Hungarians,      urges      Anstro-Hun- 

firy  to  come  to  an  understanding  with  the 
orte  as  to  the  extent  of  concessions  to  the 
Christians,  which  cau  be  made  without  com- 
promising the  integrity  of  the  Turkish  Empire, 
is  a  canard. 

A  Vienna  dispatch  to  the  Times  says:  "A 
telegram  received  here  from  (^on.stantinople, 
dated  yesterday,  states  that  for  five  days  there 
has  been  no  news  from  Osman  Pasha.  This 
has  caused  uneasiness  here.  It  is  feared  that 
his  communications  ■with  Sofia  have  been  in- 
terrupted by  the  Russians.  The  Porte,  how- 
ever, denies  that  Osman  Pasha  is  hemmed  in." 
Reuter's  Telegram  Company,  however,  has  ad- 
vices from  Osman  Pasha's  Army,  dated  Aug.  1 9. 

The  Time^  Theropia  dispatch  says  the  British 
military  attach^  with  the  Turkish  forces  tele- 
graphs'from  Eski-Djuna  that  there  are  1.5,000 
destitute  refugee  Mussulmans  there. 

The  Daily  News,  summarizing  the  telegrams 
of  its  correspondent  ■with  the  Russian  Asiatic 
Army  at  Kurukdara,  concludes  as  follows : 
"  Saturday'sengagement  before  Kars  ■was  merely 
a  reconnoisance  in  force.  Only  their  skirmish- 
ing lines  were  engaged.  The  Russians  with- 
drew in  accordance  with  a  prearranged  plan." 

"The  Times  Belgrade  dispatch  says  :  "  The 
Russian  Gens. .  Fabyeff  and  Kidrof  have 
arrived  here,  also  M.  M.  Bojadsnovich  and 
Veselitzki  from  Montenegro.  They  were  re- 
ceived by  M.  Bistics.  A  council  of  Ministers 
■was  afterward  held  which  lasted  till  4 
o'clock  in  the  morning.  The  conclusions  ar: 
rived  at  have  not  transpired.  It  is  believed 
here  that  before  long  Servia  will  take  part  in 
the  war.  The  Moscow  Committee  has  asked 
Servia  to  do  so,  and  has  offered,  if  she  consents, 
to  assist  her  with  money. 

AFTER  THE  BATTLE  OF  PLEVNA. 
A  DISASTROUS  DEFEAT  OF  THE  RUSSIANS — ^AT 
NO  MOMENT  WAS  THERE  A  GLIMPSE  OF 
VICTORY — COLD-BLOODED  CEUELTY  OF 
THE  TURKISH  SOLDIERS — THE  WOUNDED 
ENEMY  BRUTALLY  MASSACRED — THE  ROU- 
MANIAN   ARMY. 

From  Our  Oien  CorretpoTulenL 
Bucharest,  Thursday,  Aug.  2,  1877. 
As  I  said  in  my  last  letter  of  the  30th  of 
July,  a  great  battie  ■was  then  being  fought  be- 
fore Plevna,  and  with  the  disastrous  results  to 
the  Russian  columns  which  I  anticipated.  So 
full  details  have  probably  already  reached  the 
Western  world,  that  I  need  only  sum  up  briefly. 
The  united  corps  of  Gens.  Krildner  and  Schack- 
osky,  numbering  on  paper  50,000  men,  and 
in  reality  about  35,000,  ■with  26  batteries,  at- 
tacked the  lines  covering  th?  valley  of  the 
Osma,  and  resting  on  the  two  towns  of  Ple^vna 
and  Loftscha,  on  the  morning  of  Monday,  the 
30th  of  July.  The  battle  lasted  until  7:30  in 
the  evening,  and  was  a  complete  defeat  of  the 
Russians,  whose  loss  amounted  to  about  1 1 ,000 
killed  and  wounded,  and  seven  guns,  which 
were  captured  dTiring  the  xn^reat  At  no  one 
moment  of  the  day  was  there  even  a  glimp.'ie  of 
victory ;  they  were  beaten  from  start  to 
finish.  The  Turks  occupied  a  strictly 
defensive  position  during  all  the  first 
part  of  the  engagement,  and  let  loose  their  men 
only  when  the.  enemy  commenced  to  fall  back. 
According  to  tho  statements  furnished  me  by 
Col  Wellesley  and  other  gentlemen  who  were 
present,  the  Russians  fought  splendidly,  and 
were  led  on  gallantly  but  stupidly ;  whereas  the 
Turks  were  handled  splendidly.  The  attack 
was  made  on  the  front  of  their  position,  which, 
naturally  strong,  was  rendered  more  formidable 
by  intrenchments  and  rifle-pits.  No  effort  was 
made  to  turn  their  line  or  to  manoeuvre  toward 
their  rear,  which  was  impossible  toward  Loft- 
scha, where  there  were  only  five  battalions. 
No  use  was  made  of  skirmishers,  everything 
being  done  in  columns  of  companies,  wherein 
the  Turkish  shells  made  a  horrible  carnage. 
Gen.  Schackosky's  -corps  exists  no  longer  as  a 
distinct  organization.  Gen.  Krlldner's  corps  was 
forced  to  retreat  nearly  to  the,  Danube.  The 
want  of  cavalry  among  the  Turks  alone  saved 
the  Russians  from  complete  annihilation,  and 
the  pursuit  did  not  last  beyond  six  or  seven 
miles,  being  conducted  entirely  by  the  Turkish 
irregular  horse,  which,  like  the  infantry,  butch- 
ered every  one"  who  fell  into  their  hands.  No 
quarter  was  given  by  the  Moslems,  who  are  now 
fighting  with  all  the  blind  fanaticism  of  the 
days  of  the  Janissaries.  Great  fears  were  enter- 
tained for  the  safety  of  Mr.  Villiers,  the  special 
artist  of  the  London  Graphic^  but  to  the  great 
joy  of  his  many  friends  he  turned  up  last  even- 
ing in  Bucharest,  whither  all  the  correspondents 
hitherto  with  the  Army  have  returned,  as 
have  also  the  military  attaches  of  the  various 
European  governments,  nominally  on  leave  of 
absence,  and  in  order  to  recruit  their  health, 
but  in  reality  to  obtain  fresh  instructions  from 
home,  as  the  results  of  the  last  12  days'  opera- 
tions have  entirely  changed  the  aspect  of  the 
war. 

A  more  crushing  defeat  has  not  been  seen 
since  Sadowa,  and  the  superiority  of  Turkish 
over  Russian  generalship  has  been  demon- 
strated beyond  the  power  of  contradiction. 
But  at  the  same  time  have  been  developed  all 
the  worst  features  of  the  Mussulman  charac- 
ter; and  the  inhimun  massacre  and  hideous 
mutilation  of  all  the  wounded,  without  one 
single  exception,  will  be  sufficient,  I  hope,  to 
prove  to  even  the  most  ardent  enemy  of  Russia 
that  the  bloodthirsty,  cruel  Osmanll  are  un- 
■worthy  of  the  slightest  sympathy.  They  have 
not  even  th::  excuse  of  the  lex  talionit  to  allege 
in  their  behalf.  All  of  them  who  have  been 
captured  by  the  Russians  have  been  treated 
■with  kindness.  The  instances  where  prisoners 
■were  brought  on  in  chains  are  isolated  ones, 
and  were  only  where  t^e  feebleness  of  theeaoort 
or  an  attempt  at  revolt  rendered  precaution 
necessary.  Doubtless  certain  acts  of  atrocity 
■were  committed  at  Sistova  and  *t  Vlkonolii. 


but,  as  I  have  already  written,  these  were  deeds 
of  soldiers  in  the  momentary  excitement  of  htLt- 
tie.  It  is  different  with  the  Turks,  who  In 
cold  blood  put  to  death  every  foreigner 
who  falls  into  their  hands  with  a  refinement  of 
cruelty  to  be  found  elsewhere  only  among  can- 
nibals. The  fortune  of  war  has  certainly  taken 
a  new  turn,  which  renders  the  chances  of  a  pa- 
cific settlement  more  distant  than  ever,  although 
it  must  increase  those  of  an  entire  localization 
of  the  conflict. 

Col  Brackenbury,  of  the  Royal  Artillery,  the 
military  correspondent  of  the  London  Times^ 
has  come  over  this  morning  direct  from  ICazan- 
lik,  and  his  statement  confirms  the  accounts  al- 
ready published  of  the  Turkish  atrocities  per- 
petrated all  along  the  line  of  operations. 
With  the  natural  enthusiasm  of  a  soldier 
who  has  witnessed  nothing  but  a  series 
of  brilliant  successes,  he  was  quite  imprepared 
for  the  gloomy  view  of  alFairs  taken  by  those 
whose  experience  has  only  been  a  series  of  de- 
feats, and  is  astonishe<l  to  find  that  any  doubts 
can  be  entertained  of  immediate  triumph  for 
the  Russian  arms.  At  Timova,  the  Grand 
Duke's  head-quarters;  at  Biela,  where  is  the 
Czar,  there  is  no  consternation,  no  disquietude, 
but  simply  a  stem  determination  to  avenge  the 
"check,"  as  it  is  officially  termed,  and  to  re- 
take Plevna  at  any  cost.  STere willful  blindness, 
nothing  el.-«j,  for  the  Russians  were  de- 
feated on  their  own  merits,  or  rather 
because  of  the  incapacity  of  their  chiefs, 
and,  until  their  tactics  are  changed, 
they  in'ill  be  beaten  under  the  same 
circumstimces  again,  no  matter  what  be  the 
force  they  bring  into  action.  That  the  moraJe 
of  their  ^Vrmy  is  still  uninjured  is  certainly  a 
very  healthy  sign,  but  yon  cannot  go  on  indefi- 
nitely ■with  a  loss  of  ll.OOO  men  per  diem,  even 
if  you  did  number  originally  double  the  force  of 
your  enemy.  The  desire  to  make  a  victory  for 
the  Czarwitch  at  Rustchuk  was  probably  one  of 
the  main  cauj*es  of  the  failure  of  the  opening  of 
the  campaign.  To  secure  his  success,  within  a 
very  short  time,  he  was  given  three  entire 
Army  corps  with  which  to  invest  the  fortress ; 
that  is  to  say,  on  paper,  90,000  who  were  de- 
tached from  the  main  Army,  estimated  at  2*10,- 
OOt*,  of  all  arms.  Gen.  Zimmerman,  who  was  to 
march  from  the  Dobrudscha,  has  40,000;  40,- 
1)00  more  moved  against  and  over  the  Balkans, 
thus  leaving  actually  under  the  Commander-in- 
Chief  some  70,0(Ml,'who  were  to  hold  a  line  80 
mile."  long,  reaching  from  the  Danube  to  Tir- 
nova.  Thirt}'  thousand  or  more  of  this  army 
have  just  been  signally  defeated,  and  the  victo- 
rious enemy  continues  to  hold  his  position  per- 
pendicularly to  the  Russian  right  flank,  which 
they  must  expose  if  they  proceetl  toward  Adrian- 
ople. and  in  their  rear,  if  Mehemet  .\li  forces 
them  to  cive  battle  from  Rasgrad  and  O.sman- 
Bazar.  Militarily  .'^peaking,  their  situation  is 
extremely  critical,  and  caii  only  be  improvwl 
bv  the  i-aising  of  the  siege  of  ituvtchuk,  if  a 
place  which  has  never  been  completely  investetl 
can  be  said  to  be  besieged.  Only  the  concentra- 
tion of  all  the  available  troops  west  of  Rustchuk 
can  secure  a  favorable  termination  to  this  cam- 
paign already  seriously  compromised,  for  the 
Turks  can  muster  at  present  superior  forces  to 
those  of  their  enemy  at  any  given  point  of  their 
line.  They  have  in  tho  triangle  formed  by 
Rasgrad,  f^humla,  and  Eski-Djumua  fully  100'- 
000  men, and  the  performances  of  Osman  Pasha 
at  Plevtia  are  a  safe  criterion  for  a  comparison 
between  the  capacities  of  Turkish  and  Russian 
Generals. 

The  panic  along  the  Danube  continues. 
The  inhabitants  are  fleeing  to  Roumauia, 
where  the  most  absurd  rumors  are  propa- 
gated, and  in  spite  of  the  efforts  of  the 
Ru.s-sians  to  conceal  or  mitigate  the  disastrous 
results  of  their  lost  battle,  the  arrival  of  a 
convoy  of  bullock  carts,  seven  miles  long,  filled 
with  wounded  men,  has  not  teuded  to  calm  their 
apprehensions.  The  report  of  the  advance  of 
the  Roumanian  contingent  to  the  relief  of  Gen. 
Kriidner  was  premature.  Only  two  regimei^|9 
have  really  crossed  over  to  Nikopolis,  Gen. 
Manu  declining  to  remove  his  head-quarters 
from  Ischlaz,  on  some  excuse  or  other,  based.   L

tike  place  very  shortly,  but  not  at  the  point 
where  it  was  originally  intended  to  operate. 

The  Russians  are  ver;.-  hard  pressed  for  both 
men  and  money.  Already  their  monthly  war 
expenses  are  about  three  times  as  great  as  their 
revenue  ;  but  no  sacrifice  will  be  spared  to  bring 
back  a  littie  lustre  to  their  dimmed  arms.  A 
proposal  was  made  to  tho  Director  of  the  Rou- 
manian railways  to  suspend  all  freight  and 
passenger  trains  until  the  troops  now  on  their 
waj-  from  Poland  could  be  got  to  the 
front.  This  was  refused,  but  a  compro- 
mise was  made  which  guaranteed  the 
postal  service,  but  placed  at  the  disposal 
of  the  authorities  a  troop  train  every  10  minutes 
if  required.  At  the  rate  of  consumption  going 
on  for  the  last  fortnight,  the  reserves  which  are 
now  being  moved  forward  ■will  soon  be  used  up. 
Then  there  will  remain  nothing,  by  way  of  food 
for  powder,  except  the  Imperial  Guard,  at  present 
ordered  into  the  Polish  provinces,  whose  revolu- 
tionary agents  "will  profit  by  the  first  favorable 
opportunity  to  start  another  insurrection. 

FOUNDERING  OF  A  SCHOONER. 
New-Haten,  Conn.,  Aug.  21. — Particu- 
lars have  been  receive<l  here  of  the  foundering  of 
the  schoonerVanname,  owned  mostiy  in  this  city, 
on  Aug.  3,  while  on  her  way  from  New-York  to 
Baracoa,  in  latitude  31°  40',  longitude  74°  30". 
She  sailed  July  17  with  coal  and  deck  load  of 
lumber.  A  squall  struck  her  on  Aug.  3,  and 
no  efforts  could  save  her  from  sinking.  The 
.steward,  Walter  Sills,  of  this  city,  and 
two  boys,  pa.ssengers,  were  lost.  The  boys 
had  been  at  school  in  New-York, 
and  were  on  their  way  home  to  Baracoa. 
The  survivors,  seven  in  number,  passed 
a  horrible  night  on  some  pieces 
of  scantling,  which  were  covered  with 
water,  and  surrounded  by  sharks.  They  were 
picked  up  by  the  schooner  Minnie  R^plier, 
Capt.  Burton,  of  Philadelphia.  Capt.  Hardy, 
of  the  Vanname.  is  a  resident  of  this  City. 


A  M-iRSBAL'S  POSSE  BESIEGED. 
Louisville,  Ky.,  Aug.  21. — United 
States  Marshal  Webster  reports  having  been 
attacked  by  an  escaped  Moonshine  prisoner 
who,  with  his  friends,  flred  20  shots  at  the 
Marshal  and  his  po.sse  and  also  bombarded  the 
house  an  entire  night.  Deputies  Penn  and 
Adair  were  menaced  by  the  mob,  numbering  a 
hundred  or  more,  in  Adair  County.  In  Har- 
din County  the  Moonshine  men  swear  they  will 
kill  the  first  United  States  Marshal  who  comes 
near  them.  Col.  Crittenden,  the  new  United  States 
Marshal  for  Kentucky,  has  been  making  ■vigor- 
ous efforts  to  break  up  this  peculiar  specimen 
of  law-breaking,  and  in  the  last  two  months  his 
deputie-s  have  arrested  over  100  offenders. 

IRISH  MEMBERS  OF  PARLIAMENT. 

London,  Aug.  22. — A  great  meeting  was 
held  in  the  Rotunda,  Dublin,  hut  night. 
Messrs.  Biggar  and  Pamell  were  enthusi- 
astically received.  Both  members  strong- 
ly condemned  the  .  inactivity  of  the 
Home  Rule  Party  generally.  A  resolution  was 
passed  that  this  meeting  takes  occasion 
to  offer  its  hearty  thanks  to  those 
Irish  representatives  who,  in  honorable 
contrast  to  the  tame  and  spiritiess  condtict  of 
the  mass  of  the  Home  Rule  members,  support-

THR  GRATX  TRADE. 
As  so  much  of  the  future  prosperity  of  ■&€  vt%61« 
trade  of  this  section  seems  to  depend  upon,  tlio  gxai3. 
crop  of  tne  country,  the  prospects  of  the  dealers  in, 
grain  ought  to  be  full  of  promise,  considering  tb» 
degree  of  hopefulness  that  is  expressed  in  the  volume 
and  value  of  the  crop  that  is  about  to  be  thrown  upon, 
the  market.  And  er^n  men  say  that  the  prospect  \m 
full  of  encoun^jement.  While  the  North-western 
crop  is  immense,  the  Cjilifornia  crop  is  20,000,000 
bushels  less  than  nsuat.  An  estimata  by  a  careful 
observer  Is  as  follows :  The  homo  coosumptiom 
of  wheat  is  about  170,000,000' bushels,  and  the 
quantity  retained  for  seed  is  about  30,000,- 
000  bushels.  When  this  quantity  has  been  re- 
served and  this  deficiency  in  tho  California  crop  pro- 
vided for,  he  estimated  that,  the  surplus  would  be 
probably  be  but  little  above  -an  averai:©  crop.  Bmfe 
the  crop  this  year,  the  same  informant  stated,  is  very 
much  above  the  average  in  quality,  weighing  six 
pounds  more  to  the  busheL  This  makes  it  more  valu- 
able. This  authority  said  that  the  value  of  the  wheat 
crop — of  the  grain  crop  altogether,  in  fact — depended 
■upon  the  eontintiation  or  stoppage  of  the  war  in  Eu- 
rope. The  amount  of  wheat  that  comes  out  of  the 
Blftck.Seaannuanyisabout40. 000.000  bushels.  Eng- 
land depends  a  good  deal  upon  thifi  source  of  suDply. 
and  It  cannot  move  so  long  as  the  war  prevails.  The 
scarcity  of  shipping  was  not  feared,  as.  in  case  the 
warcontinued,  the  fleet  that  would  otherwise  go  to 
the  Black  Sea  would  find  Its  way  to  this 
country,  and  be  ready  to  take  our  sur- 
plus to  Europe.  It  will  depend,  however,  som*^ 
what  on  the  prolon^tion  of  the  Suropean  war.  for 
unless  there  is  a  good  export  demand  it  is  feared  that 
the  Western  farmers,  who  havip  never  been  so  sorely- 
depressed  as  the  manufacturers  and  speculators  of  the 


heard,  on  the  inefficiency  of  transports  for  hia

A  DISTILLER  ZN  BANKRUPTCY. 

^pfxiai  Dispatch  to  the  IfaD-Tork  nmea

sen,  a  distiller  of  this  city,  who  was  one  of  the

NOTES  PROM  TBE  GERMAN  CAPITAL. 

Berlin,  Aug.  21. — ^Prince  Bismarck  re- 
ceiTed  Ministers  Von  Bulow  and  Bedowitx  ^last 
night,  and  proceeded  to  Babelsberg  this  mom- 
ingto  submit  a  report  to  the  Emperor. 

The  Emperor  and  members  of  the  Govern- 
ment have  eordiall J  received  ex-Minister  Wasb- 
burzLQi  who  ii  now  la  Beiiin* 


move  their  crops  unless  they  can  obtain  extraordi- 
nary profits  for  them.  Should  they  thus  hold  off.  the 
hopes  of  many  thousands  of  mtrchants  would  be 
shattered,  and  at  least  another  Wint<»r  of  disconteni 
be  passed.  The  conditiam  of  affairs  in  the  West,  in 
which  section  is  found  one-tliird  of  the  population 
of  the  counrry,  is  unlike  that  at  the  Ko-st.  With 
great  CTops  the  whole  nation  iroald  he  benefited  In 
obtaining  cheaply  the  neces.sary  articles  of  snbsist- 
anc« ;  with  poor  crojjs  family  expendi- 
tures will  be  iDcreased  and  the  amount  of 
moneyleft  for  other  expenditures  will  bo  lessened, 
with  a  natural  bad  affect  upon  general  trade.  In  all 
its  history  there  has  never  been  in  the  West  the 
promise  of  so  abundant  a  crop  as  that  now  about  to 
be  gathered.  It  is  estimated  '.hat  in  Minnesota. 
Iowa,  Winconsin.  and  Kansas  the  wheat  crop  wUl 
reach  117.000.000  bushels,  aeainst  61.000.000 
bushels  in  1876  and  93.000. OOO  bushels  in  1S75. 
The  prospect  in  other  Western  States  is  corre- 
spondingly encouraginf .  With  a  larg^  grain  crop  is 
usually  carried  along  a  laTt^^  jjorfc  crop, 
and  grain  and  pork  are  the  staples  de- 
manding the  attention  of  the  great  mar^ts. 
The  effect  of  the  movement  of  this  gre.it  crop  cac 
hardly  be  foretold.  There  is  uneasiness  in  the  mar- 
ket, and  some  unsteadiness,  but  there  is  a  good  in- 
quiry for  freights,  and  the  indications  aro  that  all 
suitable  tonnage,  steam  and  sail,  L^  Co  be  brought 
Into  requisition  to  carry  the  surplus  of  grain 
and  flour  to  Europe.  The  iinn-rtainty  oi 
what  the  market  is  to  be  is  somewhat  ag- 
gravated by  the  fear  that  the  speculators  in  tli€ 
Western  cities  will  revive  the  speculative  spirit  and 
drive  the  farmers  back  upon  themselves.  They 
have  done  this  before.  Finding  that  wlieat  was 
at  ^l  or  $1  10  in  Chicago,  they  have  forced  it 
down  to  $1,  without  refeivnoe  to  the  demand  for 
consumption  or  export,  but  purely  for  the  sake  of  in- 
dividual bargains  or  engafememtA.  This  meant  a  10 
or  15  per  cent,  loss  to  the  farmer,  and  he,  ^ter  dis- 
posing of  enou^  wheat  to  pay  his  expeusos.  is  apt  to 
be  independent,  and  rgfuso  to  feed  the  speculator  at 
his  own  rates.  ThLs  spirit  of  speculation,  of  wild 
cutting  under,  must,  say  old  merchants,  if  pursued, 
result  in  the  extension  of  our  dt- pr*»f;sion.  and  the 
loss  of  an  opportunity  which  seems  full  of  promise 
for  every  man  in  the  land.  There  is,  as  has  been  said, 
a  greater  inquiry  for  ships  to  carry  this  crop  than 
there  wa?  last  year  or  than  has  been  known  for 
many  years.  Should  the  war  In  Europu  end.  there 
would  still  be  a  good  demand.- as  it  U  now  too  late 
for  the  recovery  of  the  time  lost  by  the  comV^tants. 
The  flour  crop  will  undoubtedly  bo  lar^n  and  flour 
will  be  cheap,  enabling  the  laborer  at  r^ueed  wages 
to  feel  that  the  great  crop  he  has  heard  of  is  really  of 
some  benefit  to  him  when  it  comes.  The  receipts  ol 
flour  and  grain  at  seven  of  the  AVestem  cities  aurina 
the  week  ending  Am;.  11  shows  that  there  is  a 
decidedly  larger  supply  coming  than  was  reneivec 
last  vear.  The  returns  for  that  period  were  ot  fioui 
9.'5.9'75  barrels,  at:ainst  91.681  in  tie  corresponding 
week  last  year.  Bushels  of  wheat,  92-1.290.  against 
805,114  ;  com,  3.267.994,  against  2,4S7.363  :  oats. 
551,875,  against  3S2.756  ;  barley.  2S.279.  against 
17.312,  and  of  rye.  168,175.  against  77.103  busheli 
in  1876.  The  com  crop  is  very  much  more 
abundant  than  it  has  been  for  years.  The  move- 
ment of  the  com  crop  toward  the  East  has  begun, 
but  the  other  crops  are  moving  more  slowly,  althous'a 
more  grain  has  been  moved  Kast  in  tho  week  that« 
for  the  corresponding  week  last  year.  The  stocks  rrf 
erain  remaining  over  from  last  year's  crop  in  «tof»» 
here  are  reported  as  small,  and  Ukely  t**  be  consurnvHl 
without  much  delay.  The  interru*;ition  of  mU- 
roads  by  the  strikers  came  too  early  u>  generally  af- 
fect the  movement  of  the  crops,  and.  the  facilities  for 
water  transportation  are  great  and  convenient- 
Good  authority  has  recently  heen  even  for  the  state- 
ment that  the  Unit.ed  Stnt.^»;  will  aoon  be  able  to 
control  the  fn^in  market  in  Europe,  and 
it       is      on      this      promise      maliJy      that      the 

great  hope,*  of  the  Wades  "  generally  axa 
ased.  Tiiere  is  some  interest  in  the  crop  comiQa 
forward  iu  England,  which  may  be  pronounced  abmi. 
dant  <ir  a  failure  in  another  week.  At  pretsent,  Enz- 
laud  is  overburdened  ^th  excessive  importationa  of 
wiieat.  While  it  is  ondisputed  that  there  is  to  b« 
an  immense  crop  in  this  country,  there  are  doubts  in 
some  minds  as  to  the  possibility  of  finding  a  aurket 
for  the  Immense  .surplus  that  is  likely  to  be  held. 
But  merchants  who  have  studied  the  signs  declare 
t]iat  all  the  indications  are  favorable,  that  old  stocks 
■will  before  long  be  coujrumed  in  foreign  markela,  and 
our  abundance  will  then  bo  drawn  upon  to  feed  the 
belligerents  who  have  not  had  time  to,  raise  wheat, 
for  themselves,  and  to  make  good  the  Aort  crops  in 
other  countries  than  England,  The,  movement  of 
this  crop  by  rail  will  make  business  for  immense 
numbers  of  men,-  it  will  make  tho  men  about  our 
docks  busier ;  it  will  give  employment  to  many  ships 
and  seamen,  and  wUl  thus  gradually  furnish  employ- 
ment and  oontentment  to  many  who  have  knows 
neither  for  years. 

THE  PEOVTSION'TRADE. 
The  hope  of  the  provision  trade  is  also  in  the 
future.  The  prospect  of  a  full  crop  should  bring 
with  it  the  reasonable  hope  that  hogs  will  be  chiefly 
and  abtmdsntly  raised,  and  that  patdsazswiil  be  eu- 
couraged  to  indulge  In  a  la^ge  bostnesa  to  meet  a 
prospective  foreign  demand  and  large  home  oonsuxnb  - 
tion.  "WhSle  there  is  every  outlook  for  a  good  timde 
at  home  and  abroad,  it  is  said  that  the 
spirit  of  Western  speentation  is  not  yet  dead, 
and  may  foolishly  ovemaeh  itself  as  it  did

In  dusoce  at  oiioe  to  tlie  ludlvidul  and  the  whole 
trade.  Very  few  dealers  care,  to  Twophesy  in  the 
present  uncertain  state  of  the  trado.'hat  they  believe 
that  the  Fall  is  to  be  one  of  the  best  In  years  for 
every  branch  of  tlieir  business.  The  prices  mlins  in- 
the  uorket  are  lower  than  those  of  tho  corresponding 
date  !&::£  year.  Then  lard  waa  quoted  at  7  and  a 
fraction,  uow  it  is  7  cents,  and  the  tendency  is 
downward.  At  this  dat©  last  year  the  stock  of  prune 
lard  on  hand  Wiis  '12.933  tierces.  Tula  y«ar  there 
are  hut  31.077  tierces  on  hand,  but  the  price  is 
jower  witii  the  smaller  quantity  at  disposal  than 
with  th?  larger.  "While  there  is  a  class  of  provision 
dealers  w>-ho  are  coimdent  tliat  the  stock  pzodaced 
here  c.i  i  be  disposc.l  of  without  any  doubt  whatever, 
there  'S  another  class  who  assert  that  hothtng  but 
low  r*'".ees  and  lew  freights  will  enable  the  provision 
nwr-  .nuts  to  set  i-id  of  tho  supply  as  fast  as  it  comes

THE  PRODUCE  TRADE, 
There  la  somo  change  to  chrooicld  In  the 
produce  market.  Theto  has  been  a  slight  increase 
since  last  year  in  the  exportation  of  fine  gradea  of 
butter,  and  since  the  refrlceratora  have  been  brought 
into  use  on  the  steam-ships,  exporters  have  been  able 
to  seud  fino  grades  at  all  aeaeona  of  the  your.  For 
shipment  thov  wore  paid  as  high  as  23  cetits  a  pound. 
whieh  was  up  to  tho  price  it  was  bringing  for  home 
consumption.  There  is  a  steady  increase  also  in  the 
exportition  of  ch?ei»e,  the  steam-ships  having  earxisd 
oat  enormoui  consl^ments  during  the  past  Summer. 
The  finB  bntter  shipped  is  consumed  in  the  SngUsfa 
marfectt,  while  tliere  is  som^e  exportation  of  Inferior 
gi-ades  to  Uormany.  It  seems  that  some  producers, 
■vrith  thi'  idon  that  very  high  prices  for  export  butter 
would  bo  obtained  here,  have  held  immen.s6  qoanti* 
tiesin-^torp  in  refriceratom  in  this  City,  and  that 
they  wen*  likely  to  lose  money  by  not  working  off 
tlieir  stov'l;  as  stmn  as  it  arrived,  for  the  croo  is  so 
large  as  to  bo  fnlly  equal  to  the  home  consumption 
and  tht>  forciirn  r**quest.  There  is  no  general  com- 
plaint of  diillnfss  nmoni;  dealers  in  butter  and 
checHp.  hilt  Ihey  say  that  they  are  compelled  to  do  a 
great  deal  more  business  than  formerly  to  make  a 
great  deal  li^ss  luoiitry.  the  profttn  are  so  much  re- 
duced. Tlie  nroNuoct  among  them  is  deemed  to  be 
KTOOil.  Hud  o:if  U-adiDK;  ilealer  said  that  the  importance 
of  the  trade  did  not  t>egin  to  be  appreciated.  To 
show  that  this  wns  the  rase,  he  Mid  that  the  dairy 
interest,  now  Ijecoming  if  an>-thing  more  important 
in  the  amount  of  nn»ner  invested  andin  the  aggregate 
of  tran.-Jaitions  than  the  crain  trade,  did  not  com- 
mand in  t!io  i>ankj  the  eoufideneo  that  was  extended 
tu  tho  srain  trade.  Some  features  of  the  dairy  trade 
are  inTerestiuij.  A  few  years  a^o  it  was  as  great  a 
r:ir:osity  to  meet  with  a  package  of  butler  from 
Kansas,  Idaho,  and  Sebra.Hka  as  It  was  to  see  a  live 
buffalo.  Now  packace^  of  butter  from  these  points 
are  frequently  rofeivud.  ati-l  the  dairies  are  rapidly 
mul:ipl>-iii^.  As  for  tiie  quantities  of  butter  held 
here,  one  authoriiy  said  that  this  did  not  signify  any- 
thing stranjre.  Formerlv  the  farmers  or  dairymen 
bt*I<l  them  for  a  market,  but  with  the  introduction  of 
refritcenitorcars  and  warehouses  they  felt  that  it  was 
a  great  deal  more  to  their  advantage  to  have  their 
p'wds  in  thiii  City,  within  reach  of  the  demand,  wbera 
they  could  be  kept  in  prime  order,  than  to  keep  them 
in  the  dairies  expos»Ml  to  the  greater  risk  of  deteriora- 
tion, and  so  far  distant  that  time  would  be  lost  in 
ending  them  to  the  seaPoard.  From  a  number  of 
accounts  it  seems  that  tho  American  batter  in  Eng- 
lish markets  sells  cs  well  aa  home  products,  and  that 
even  at  high  purchasing  rates  here  there  is  enough 
profit  reaiiied  to  keep  up  the  shipments.  Of  course, 
the  subject  of  freicrlits  Ls  an  Im^rtaut  one  in  this 
connection.  Opinions  are  not  conmdered  worth  much, 
but  the  belief  is  stronic  among  some  that  a  gen^^l 
increase  of  rates  would  result  in  the  destruction  of 
this  crowing  business.  Fresh  meats  will  abw  be  af- 
fwrted  by  freichts,  the  cheapness  of  shipment  being 
absolutely  necessary  to  allow  comi>etitiou  with  tbe^ 
English  market.  Chie  merchant  said  that  he  had!r 
been  credibly  informed  that  the  best  Ajperican  beef 
was  sold  m  LncUsh  markets  as  English  beef,  and  that 
the  native  beef  had  been  put  forward  as  American. 
The  inferen*^  is  that  the  business  of  exporting  fresh 
zneat  is  pmtitable.  a-s  the  demand  still  continues,  and 
Bteam-siiips  continue  to  carry  cargoes,  which  are 
readily  di'iposed  of.  The  erop  of  potatoes  Is  immense, 
and  prices  have  suddenly  dropped,  and  it  is  thought 
(h»t  the  demand  for  them  wTll  be  great  enough  to  en« 
Bble  the  country  to  dispose  of  any  surplus  which  it 
may  have  at  an  excellent  profit.

THE  GROCERY  TRADE. 
While  there  is  a  very  conserratire  feelingr 
amon:^  the  largest  houses  In  the  grocery  trade,  there 
Is  no  despondency,  but  rather  a  better  disposition 
Chan  .lost  year  at  this  time,  without  any  sort  of  over- 
confidence  in  the  future.  The  first  word  of  reply  by 
all  grocers  to  the  question,  "What  of  the  future  (" 
Is  one  explaining  that  their  expectations  all  centre  in 
the  realization  by  the  agriculturists  of  all  the  hopes 
wiiicit  they  liavc  expressed,  and  which,  an  they  are- 
inoro  promisinsj  than  for  many  years,  are  considered 
pood  ground  upon  which  to  base  a  prediction  of  at 
least  a  fair  Fall  trade.  Xo  one  will  go  farther  than 
lliis.  "  There  has  been  enough  of  prediction,"  say 
the  grocers  :  "  now  we  will  let  tho  business  come,  and 
If  plenty  of  it  com?  we  shall  be  the  bctterjiatisfied." 
The  tone  of  the  largest  firms  is  strengthening.  They 
i;-/  they  have  to  work  hard  to  get  their  trade  and  to 
&5"<'r  good  value  for  all  the  money  they  take.  At 
present  there  is  demand  enough  for  goods  to  keep 
a!  I  from  moping,  and  although  last  year  was  ex- 
pected to  be  better— in  consequence  of  the  unnsnal 
fiffod  of  visitors  to  this  City  during  the  progress  of 
the  Centennial  Exliibitton — than  previous  ye  are,  and 
th*  IiusineRs  was  brisk,  the  trade  this  year  is  folly  up 
to'.ii?tof  t!ie  same  season  last  year.  Kot  for  the 
past  three  or  four  years  has  the  speculative  feeline 
U-on  felt  th^t  was  formerly  so  rampant.  Men  are 
bavin::  f-^r  the  wants  of  trade,  very  cautiously,  and 
p.ayini  no  atr^-ntion  to  efforts  to  lead  them 
I.it'o  bar:iala3  for  job  Iota.  They  do  not  stock 
II  p  heavily,  but  buy  more  freqaentlv  and  in 
obedien*^  "to  the  want'*  of  their  own  immediate  trade, 
r.i  tber  th^-n  after  the  fashion  of  anyl>ody  else's  trade. 
I'rifes.  as  a  whole,  are  lower  than  last  year,  except 
fir  a  few  arti'jles.  Sugars  have  ruled  very  high,  but 
a  reuction  luis  set  in.  and  the  tendency  is  now' down- 
ward. As  compared  with  the  prices  of  1800.  it  is  be- 
lieved that  those  of  to-day.  while  not  quite  down  to 
the  prices  prevailing  before  the  war,  are  within  10  to 
l.T  per  cent,  of  them.  Two  years  aco  the  percentaco 
was  'JO  hisrhf»r.  and  siace  tlic'n  there  has  been  a  steady 
Qe<:Iine.  Owing  to  larKB  priHluctlon  and  moderate 
consumption,  teas  are  very  abundant  and  low,  and 
aro  reiaiive'v  cheaper  than  coflfee.  The  low  prices 
CKiy  havw  s'.imulatod  consumption  somewhat.  On 
Bi  ev*-rt  basis  of  valuarion,  the  popularity 
r>f  ro:rVe  is  rising  and  tiiat  of  tea  declin- 
ing. There  is  no  actual  prostration  of  business 
fu-where.  exeept  in  a  few  isolated  localities  badly 
auerted  i>y  labor  tniuidi's.  and  in  these  places  ihe 
inrerruption  did  not  seem  to  be  attributable  so  much 
ift  poverty  a<  to  the  interruption  of  travel,  freight 
fsciluies,  ani  the  dislike  of  business  men  to  undergo 
th*  vi'ik  ijf  losing  their  coodsiu  transit.  The  head  of' 
one  important  jobtjinghouse  said  he  saw  no  great 
f  ■ -mse  in  bnsiuefis  at  present.  A  prevailing  charao- 
T-d'ii^c  smong  hi.^  oxistotriers  was  a  determination  to 
e.'nnnmize  and  make  a  dollar  go  farther  than  it  used 
t".  He  bMieved  he  had  not  got  down  to  the  basis  of 
2)  years  3zo.  and  men  in  almost  every  branch  of  trade 
f.til  to  recollect  and  aporeciate  how  they  were  formerly 
4'iiist:ed  i-vlth  sinaTl  profits.  He  had  recently 
m:i  »  inqiiries  witli  the  idea  of  buying  a  house.  A 
trt.'-r  i:i  real  estate  to  whom  he  appUwl  showed  him 
»  hoiue  biilt  in  1S57.  which  was  valued  at  $35,000 
iio-.r.  Searching  for  the  record  of  the  house,  he 
found  that  it  was  sold  in  1860.  at  a  profit  to  the 
hiUder.  f»r.S23.000.  tn  1«G3  it  sold  again  for  $28,- 
fjftO.  in  1  =:(k;  for  ^^IS.'jOO.  and  now  it  can  be  bought 
for  £34.  .000.  Tl.e  merchant  asked  if  there  was  any 
pr-ftd  rea*on  wi-.y  a  higher  price  should  be  paid  for 
real-estate  to-day  tiian  in  loGO,  unless  the  expense 
cf  b;id  government  be  considered  ati  value  received 
for  whieii  a  price  should  be  paid.  In  another  large 
grocery  hoose  doing  an  extensive  We.stem  business, 
a  member  of  the  firm  said  the  reports  of  crops 
w*r*-  nil  very  encouraging.  He  had  always 
{."i'lnd  that  a  sood  crop  year  wsa  a  good  bualneos 
year.  The  a^ricaltnral  co'mmnnlty  will  be  rich  this 
i-'iill.  but  the  miners  and  si»ecuI«tor8  wlH  bo  poor. 
Ho  believed  that  generally  grocers  had  sold  more 
^r.ods  this  year  than  last,  and  it  was  reasonable  to 
fr  jpert  that  after  tho  immense  crops  have  been 
|;irned  over  there  will  be  an  interchange  of  money, 
»iii  that  some  of  it  will  be  spent  in  the  grocery  trade. 
**Thor^i,=i  no spetnilative demand,"  said  he,  "and  you 
tan  t  :b*ter  men  into  baying  what  they  do  not  want. 
Almost  all  the  lanre  houses  nave  increased  their  vol- 
ume rf  trade  wlthnnt  compromising  themselves, 
wttliout  hazarding  the  ability  of  their  customers  to 
pay.  .Stocks  are  ordinary,  and  there  Is  no  over-san- 
pUiUe  prediction  of  a  revolution  in  trade  which  will 
ciear  out  stores  and  warehouses.  That  day,  leacSng 
g  ocers  hope,  is  gone  not  to  return  again.  They  ex- 
press themselves  as  contented  rather  than  disposed 
tn  crowt,  and  will  accept  a  lively  trade  in  Its  season 
with  the  belief  that  it  is  a  Intimate  inei^aae  and 
.  -«k-iJl  not  be  followed  by  any  disastrous  resulls. 

IROX  AND  METAL  TRADE. 

In  iron  there  exists  a  profonnd  and  wide 
Repression,  and  men  who  have  studied  the  market 
for  years  and  the  signs  of  the  times  see  no  reason  to 
expect  any  immediate  change.  The  iron  trad*  baa 
andergone  many  changes  in  recent  years.  Thefnr- 
n.aces  built  20  years  ago  were  about  mined  by  the 
construction  of  imnroved  ones  10  years  later,  and 
L-ite>  constructed  furnaces,  bunt  within  two  or  three 
years,  have  so  cheapened  and  facilitated  the  Tnn>du&-

THE  DEY  GOODS  TRABE. 
Whetlier  the  dry  goods  trade  b«  aa  good  as 
xepresented  by  leading  merchants  or  not,  the  erl- 
dextoes  are  among  the  jobbers  and  others  that  thete 
is  certainly  not  absolute  dullness.  The  warehonsee 
along  the  wAt  Side  are  welltiiren^ed  with  buyers, 
and  inquiries  are  const^itly  coming  in  from  all  parts 
of  the  country.  It  was  said  by  the  head  of  one  prom- 
inent firm  that  the  hoSlness  of  the  eoming  Autumn, 
if  it  was  f^r  to  hazard  a  prediction  from  present  ap- 
pearances, would  be  better  than  Utat  for  several  pre- 
ceding years.  The  hopes  that  were  entert^ned  for 
the  Centezmial  year,  and  that  were  so  generally 
e^>ressed  through  the  newspapers,  were  quite 
as  generally  disappointed.  There  was  a 
flurry  of  buvineas  at  an  unusually  early 
time  in  the  year,  and  then  all  business  fell 
away.  This  year  the  inquiry  began  later,  and  con- 
tinues more  steadily.  Buyers  are  taking  larger 
stoeks,  and  there  is  a  disposition  manifested  to  ex- 
tend more  liberal  credits.  A  great  many  retailers 
are  now  in  the  City  from  the  South  and  West,  mak- 
ing free  purchases  in  expectation  of  a  healthy  trade 
after  the.  enormous  crops  are  gathered  ana  have 
changed  hands.  Among  the  purchasers  are  merchants 
from  Texas;  Xew-Mexico,  Louisiana,  and  Mlasisainp!, 
who  are  collecting  large  and  varied  stocks.  The 
wholesale  dealers  here  haye  only  laid  In  averse 
stocks  of  goods,  proceeding  as  cautiously  as  possible, 
while  endeavoring  to  meet  the  wants  of  a  reasonably 
good  sea.sou.  Domestics  are  held  In  moder- 
ate quantities  generally,  while  some  lines  are 
held  in  limited  quantity,  and  cannot  easily  be  re- 
plenished, if  exhausted.  Among  Importers  of  fine 
eoods  there  is  little  speculative  business;  but 
enough  demand  for  liisb-class  eoods  exists  to  keep 
these  lines  well  supplied.  While  there  is  no  expec- 
tation of  a  rushing  business,  there  is  little  complamt, 
except  that  profits  are  small,  and  this  complaint,  £t 
is  a(unitted,  is  one  that  has  been  made  since  "time 
immemorial."  \Vhlle  there  has  been  some  restraint 
upon  production,  and  less  effort  is  made  to  force  the 
market  than  wns  made  a  few  years  ago, 
there  is  an  ample  supply  of  new  goods,  in 
moderate  quantities,  as  well  as  the  detennination 
on  the  part  of  manufacturers  to  heed  the  lesson 
taught  through  overproduction  and  consequent  loss. 
Prices  for  cotton  goods  are  a  shade  lower  than  they 
were  a  year  ago.  while  woolena  are  higher.  While 
there  is  S'^iispositiou  to  resist  any  ftirther  decline  in 
cotton  goods,  the  probability  of  such  a  movement  Is 
admitted,  but  it  is  believed  that  there  is  much  greater 
probability  of  ft  rise  than  a  fall.  One  large  house, 
doing  a  business  which  extends  beyond  the  bounda- 
ries of  the  States,  reports  that  the  business  is  fully 
20  per  cent.,  and  perhaps  30  per  cent.,  greater  in 
volume  than  it  was  last  year  at  this  time,  and  the 
prospect  is  yet  before  them  of  feeling  the 
effect  ,  upon  the  country  of  a  crop 
which  is*  richer  than  any  reaped  for 
15  years.  This  element  of  wealth  has  to  be  taken 
into  consideration  in  giving  credits,  and  its  consid- 
eration undoubtedly  has  much  to  do  with  the  liber- 
ality of  dealers  generally  toward  their  iSouthem  and 
Western  customers,  ^vliile  eoods  that  are  cheap, 
dress  goods,  and  fancy  articles  are  taken  in  snflBcient 
quantities  to  lead  to  tho  conclusion  that  the  country 
isfarfrom  "  iwverty  stricken,"  customers  are  not 
easily  induced  by  the  cheapness  of  goods  to  buy  more 
than  fl|ey  have  determined  to  be  necessary  for  their 
wants.  I>ry-gnods  men,  like  tlielr  brethren 
in  other  trades,  are  averse  to  any  posi- 
tive pronhecies.  One  prominont  dealer  de- 
clined to  say  anything  about  business  prospects,  and 
another — a  conservative,  prosperona  mechant — said 
he  did  not  care  to  predict  what  would  be  the  state -of 
business  in  a  month  or  a  week  hence.  "I  am 
busy  now,  and  I'll  trust  to  next  week  for  more  busi- 
ness." If  there  is  any  actual  complaint  to  speak  of 
it  is  found  among  the  importers  of  silks,  laces,  and 
other  goods  which  are  in  demand  only  among  a 
iimited  class  of  people.  In  these  lines  there  is  con- 
tinued dullness,  hnd  much  of  it  is  attributed  to  the 
tariff,  which  dealers  in  foreign  silks  say  is  injuring 
their  tra<!e.  At  the  same  time  there  is  perfect  satis- 
faction among  manufacturers  of  silks  In  this  country 
with  the  tariff  on  made  goods,  but  a  desire,  which 
can  only  be  nntutal,  that  the  raw  material 
should  be  free,  while  the  mannfactured  article 
In  tlielr  estimation  should  still  be  taxed  "  for  the  en- 
couragement of  homo  production."  With  a  high 
tariff,  the  consumption  of  American  silks  is  not  all 
that  manufacturers  could  wish,  and  the  recent  redno- 
tion((vpf  wag^  in  Paterson  and  this  City  are  alluded  to 
aa  absolutely  necessary  in  consequence  of  the  reduc- 
tions in  price  which  were  compelled  by  the  slow  state 
of  business.  lu  laces  the  consumption  of  exjK'nsive 
goods  is  less  than  formerly,  and  is  limited,  while  the 
demand  for  low  price  and  medium  goods,  of  which 
an  immense  quantity  can  always  be  found  is  quite 
equal  to  that  *if  three  or  four  years  ago.  These  more 
expensive  articles,  which  are  classed  among  luxuries, 
will  begin  to  move  more  actively  fr~lh*.^Jali  business 
in  other  branches  proves  to  be  aillthat  \tjh  expected, 
but  tho  same  moderation  is  erpre^sJKby  importers 
as  is  found  amone  dealers  _iu~Tlomestic  goods,  and 
there  Is  not  a  word  said  which  will  lead  one  to  be- 
lieve that  they  look  for  anything  better  than  a  fair, 
sound,  slow,  and  paying  business,  with  moderate  or 
small  profits.  It  is  too  early  to  forecast  the  retail 
business. 

THE  CLOTHING  TRADE. 
In  this  branch  of  trade  there  has  been  little 
activity  for  the  Summer  months,  bat  a  hopeful  f eel- 
inc^aimates  manufacturers  who  have  laid  in  mod- 
erate stocks  for  the  Fall,  and  are  now  encouraged  to 
believe  that  the  good  time  which  has  been  so  long 
postponed  Is  at  last  coming  in  a  moderate  way.  *'*  It 
is  one  of  the  mlsforiunes  of  the  trade, "  said  one  large 
jobber.  "  that  we  are  obliged  to  numnfacture  ahead 
'  of  the  market,  and  are  compelled  to  use  our  best 
judgment  and  then  suffer  the  consequences  of  an  In- 
correct estimate  of  the  ability  of  tho  country  con- 
sumers to  buy.  The  market  is  now  firm  for  goods. 
so  that  less  danger  is  incurred  than  last  year  or  In 
several  previous  years.  The  trade  which  was  expected 
last  year  did  not  quite  reach  the  expectations  of 
manufacturers,  and  the  much  talked  of  "rush" 
that  was  to  »<:company  tho  coming  of  Centennial 
visitors  did  not  reach  all  meu  who  had  stocks  of 
goods  which  they  desired  to  get  rid  of.  One  clothing 
manufacturer  had  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  he 
thought  the  trade  had  been  injured  by  it,  while  an- 
other manufacturer,  dealing  lu  a  finer  grade  of  goods 
which  reach  consumers  in  the  Middle  and  Eastern 
States,  said  that  the  Centennial  business  alone  saved 
the  trade  for  the  year,  which  would  otherwise  havo 
been  the  dullest  of  any  year  since  the  war.  There 
are  already  numerous  Southern  visitois  in  the  City 
inquiring  for  goods.  Texas  dealers  are  on  hand  in  un- 
usually strong  force,  and  are  inclined  to  buy  freely. 
but  in  few  lines  and  close  to  their  needs.  While 
there  is  a  dutposition  to  meet  requests  for  ere  'it  gen- 
erously, tliere  is  enough  careful  iierutiny  exercised 
to  puard  against  disaster.  There  is  some  competi- 
tion among  dealers  for  the  trade,  and  prices  generally 
i  are  low.  In  fine  goods  the  prices  remain  high :  but 
:lor  medium  class  goods,  made  up  by  the  best  houses, 
the  prices  were  never  lower,  even  before  the  war. 
It  is  not  believed  that  they  can  get  down  lower  than 
tliey  now  are.  In  a  large  house  manufacturing  ex- 
tensively for  the  Eastern  trade."  reaching  not  only 
this  section,  but,  perhaps,  the  largest  local  trade  in 
the  City,  it  whs  said  that  the  business  of  the 
first  six  months  of  this  year  was  verv  mnch 
better  than  that  of  last  year,  although  they 
bad*  felt  the  tide  of  Centennial  trade  to  a  conside  *- 
able  extent.  The  imports  of  agents  and  the  showing 
of  orders  already  oa  hand  are  indicative  of  agood  Fall 
trade,  without  anysensational  features.  There  are 
fewer  goods  of  foreign  manufacture  going  into  cloth- 
ing than  formerly.  It  was  onlv  a  few  years  ago  that 
domestic  goods  ronld  scarcely  be  introduwi  with 
safety  in  an  establishment  careful  of  its  reputation. 
Now  the  average  customer  knows  that  many  American 
goods  are  used  of  fine  finish,  and  equal  in  durability 
and  appearance  to  English  or  French  goods  costing 
the  same  money,  and  the  question  of  manufacture  is 
seldom  raised,  except  when  high  prices  are  to  be  p«d. 
There  has  been  little  trouble  among  employes,  t&e 
prices  fixed  a  year  aeo  still  prevailing  for  labor,  and 
there  has  been  plenty  of  work  in  the  shops  among 
men  preparing  the  stocks  for  the  wholesale  trade. 
The  retail  trade  has  not  yet  begun,  the  shops  beine 
still  stocked  with  Summer  goods,  wtiich  are  soon 
to  be  replaced  by  the  Autumn  styles.  There  has 
been  a  good  Summer  trade,  although  there  was  room 
for  improvement,  and  those  who  care  to  predict 
about  the  Fall  say  that  it  will  be  a  good  one,  and  that 
nothing  but  an  attempt  to  exact  extravagant  profits 
will  interfere  with  it, 

THE  HAT  TRABE. 
The  mantifacturera  of  hats  in  this  City  are 
generally  in  a  very  good  frame  of  mind  about  their 
business.  It  began  much  earlier  than  usual  this 
year,  and  went  on  without  interruption  until  the 
railroad  strikes  blockaded  the  transportation  lines, 
when  there  was  a  temporary  set-back  which  hin- 
dered the  fulfillment  of  orders  two  or  three  weeks. 
The  trade  labors  under  some  Inconrenlenee  result- 
ing from  a  high  tariff,  which  is  looked  npon  by  the 
zaanofacturers  as  unjust.  The  tax  of  20  per  cent, 
npon  imported  furs  Is  one  item  complained  of,  per- 
haps the  one  article  which  is  most  necessa^  to  their 
business  which  the  country  cannot  produce,  so  that  the 
discrimination  against  them  is  felt  more  keenly.  Then 
there  is  a  tax  of  about  70  per  cent,  on  trimmings, 
bindings  and  silks,  and  another  of  30  or  35  per 
cent,  on  leathers.    The  trade  has  grown,  however.  In 

Eof  these  restrictions,  and  by  superior  workman- 
the  American  makers  have  succeeded  in  forcing 
way  into  Canada,  where  their  manufactures 
are  preferred  to  those  of  English  factories.  Wore  ' 
the  one  item  of  tax  on-  fur  removed,  it  Is  said  by 
leading  makers  that  the  United  States  would  soon 
u>mmand  the  markets  of  the  world  for  felt  hats, 
^he  wool  hat  trade  is  becoming  very  large  year  by 
year^  and  by  means  of  improved  machinery  used  in 
the  production  of  both  fur  and  wool- 
hats,  the  ability  to  produce  has  been  immensely 
extended.  As  stated,  the  demand 'began  to  be  felt 
in  June  for  neWiptock,  and  many  Western  purchasers 
who  then  boi£;ht\.carefuIly  are  back  in  the  City  re- 
plenlthin^  stooks  klready,^  The  business  Ls  all  that 
was  expected.  Very  fewhouaes  complain,  and  most 
of  them  say  that)  the  trade  Is  large  in  volume, 
though  the  profits  are  smaller  than  they  formerly 
were.  Buyers  Are  very  conservative,  purchasing 
judiciously  and  within  their  means.  Credtte  are  not 
so  liberally  giTga  as  they  were  a  few  years  ago. 
The  disoorenr  o^  weakness  atnong  large  numhers  of 
rash  bnyen  UM  made  the  manafacturers  cautious, 
and  a  good  deaZof  scrutiny  Is  made  before  credit  Is

been  running  steadily,  sometimes  night  and  day,  for 
several  months ;  and  aU  the  shops,  and  there  axe  a 
great  many  of  them  in  the  City,  have  given  their 
men  constant  employment.  There  have  been  hut 
few  reductions  in  we  cost  of  labor  within  the  last 
three  years,  all  classes  of  men  employed  making 
Kood  wages.  Strikes  among  the  men  have  been  in- 
xreqoent,  althoufdi  there  have  been  complaints  from 
time  to  time  by  the  men  that  they  were  not  making 
enough.  The  prices  of  hats  are  not  lower  than 
last  year.  One  of  the  largest  firms  in 
the  City,  doing  a  business  which  reaches 
from  Canada  to  Mexieo.  said  that  they  were 
doing  30  per  cent,  mote  business  this  year  thun  they 
were  in  1&76.  It  was  admitted  by  some  small  houses 
that  there  was  little  doing  with  them,  and  thto  to  ex- 
plained by  the  large  houses  as  arising  from  the  fact 
that  the  smaller  concerns  carry  lines  of  goods  that 
cannot  be  so  easily  replenished  as  those  offered  by 
the  large  hoiises,  and  the  tendency  seems  to  bo 
toward  the  reduction  of  the  number  of  houses  in  the 
business.  Generally  speaking,  the  conditions  among 
the  hatters  are  satisfactory,  and  while  there  is  not 
hope  of  sudden  prosperity  for  any  of  them,  the' 
opinions  expressed  were  generally  favorable  to  a 
steady  growth  and  a  good  diatobution  of  products. 

THE  CARPET  TRADE. 
The  manufacturers  and  jobbers  of  carpets 
have  little  eoinplalnt  to  make  either  of  business  for 
the  Spring  months  of  this  year,  or  of  the  prospect 
which  Is  opening  up  before  them  for  the  future. 
There  have  been  few  suspensions  of  factories,  wliieh 
■re  1^  feeling  the  tncreasing  demand  for  good  pro- 
ductions at  medium  and  low  prices.  There  has  been 
a  decided  change  since  the  war  in  the  carpet  trade, 
according  to  the  reports  of  the  domestic  manufao- 
turera.  Before  that  time  there  was  great,  almost  en- 
tire, dependence  on  foreign  manufacturers  for  nearly 
all  grades  of  carpetings.  Now  there  are  numerous  ex- 
tensive factories,  in  which  are  produced  Brussels  and 
tapestries  fully  equal  to  the  same  grades  of  work  turned 
out  by  foreign  makers.  The  standard  of  excellence 
has  been  steadily  raised,  and  now  lu  texture,  design, 
color,  and  durability,  American  carpets  are  found  to 
be  «s  well  received  as  imported  ones,  while  they  meet 
more  nearly  the  demands  for  cheaper  carpets  than 
were  bonght  five  or  six  years  ago.  Of  ourse  the 
warehouses  all  contain  more  or  less  of  imported 
stock,  and  there  Is  an  important  business  in  these 
lines,  although  it  is  a  limited  one,  engaging  the  atten- 
tion of  few  firms,  and  these  depend  for  their  patron- 
age npon  a  comparatively  small  number  of  wealthy 
people.  A  very  promising  feature  of  tho  carpet 
DUBiness  this  year  is  the  appearance  in  this 
Citv  of  numerous  Southern  buyers,  who  are 
noasing  considerable  inquiry  for  goods.  They  have 
been  strangers  td  this  market  for  several  years,  and 
their  return  is  hailed  as  a  good  omen  of  better  times. 
So  far  as  heard  from,  the  Western  dealers  are  feel- 
ii^  disposed  to  purchase  with  greater  freedom,  but 
they  are  still  holding  back  to  see  what  sort  of  re- 
turns the  farmers  and  provision  dealers  will  realize 
on  their  crops.  Prices  are  not  generally  lower  than 
last  year  at  this  tlmo.  but  they  are  in  some  instances, 
and  altogether  they  are  lower  now  than  thev  have 
been  at  any  time  since  the  war.  Great  caution  has 
been  exercised  in  selling,  there  being  no  disposition 
In  the  trade  to  swell  the  number  of 
bad  debts,  which  accumulate  so  easily 
with  the  granting  of  indiscriminate  credits. 
One  house,  well  known  in  the  trade,  reported  that 
its  mills  were  all  running  full  in  auticipation  of  the 
Pall  demand,  and  it  is  expected  that,  should  all  the 
promises  which  now  appear  be  made  good,  they  will 
have  reason  to  be  better  sstisfled  with  the  Fall  busi- 
ness of  1877  than  any  Fall  trade  for  10  years  past. 
The  clianges  in  fashion  are  constant  and  must  be  ob- 
served even  in  cheap  goods,  and  the  effort  to  keep  up 
with  the  varyioc  fancy  Is  full  of  expense  to  the 
manufa<;turors.  The  purchases  in  all  parts  of  the 
country  have  for  several  years  been  light,  indicating 
a  more  rigid  economy  than  formerly.  With  an  im- 
provement lu  trade  that  would  roach  in  its  effects 
the  working  population  in  the  East,  there  is  every 
reason  to  believe,  the  carpeff  manufacturers  ssy.  that 
the  moderate  stocks  on  nand  would  be  disposed  of, 
and  encouragement  given  to  the  trade.  It  Is  yet  too 
eiffly  to  tell  what  the  retail  local  trade  will  be,  and 
nothing  can  be  said  on  that  score  until  tho  rotum  of 
Summer  visitors  and  the  resumption  of  business  in 
general.  If  there  is  an  active  movement  of  grain  and 
provisions  from  the  West,  and  quick  transfers  and 
shipments  of  the  stuff  from  this  jwrt,  the  carpet  deal- 
ers. llJco  other  classes  of  tradesmen,  look  for  a  share 
in  the  moderate  prosperity  that  is  hoped  for. 


THE  HIDE  AND  LEATHER  TRADE. 

While  the  outlook  generally  in  the  hide  and 
leather  trade  is  good,  there  are  conditions  existing 
which  are  causing  some  concern,  but  which  prudent 
counsels  promise  to  correct.  The  depression  of  1876. 
lasting  nine  months,  was  accompanied  by  appalling 
losses  on  leather.  Production  was  checked,  and  in 
the  Fall  the  demand  overreached  the  supply.  Reac- 
tion ensue<l,  and  tanners  who  had  bought  hides  at  a 
reduced  price  suddenly  found  themselves  realizing 
lai^  profits.  Exhilarated  with  success,  they  pur- 
chased heavily  of  hides,  when  hides  rose  rapidly,  and 
the  market  for  leather  soon  became  depressed 
again.  The  hides  were  taken  up  by  the 
tanners,  and  now  there  is  so  much  leath- 
er in  process  of  manufacture  that  the  ten- 
dency of  prices  is  downward.  There  is,  howerver, 
a  trjk  export  traffic  and  good  home  consaroption.  in 
consequence  of  the  improved  shoe  trade.  The  cure 
for  tho  languor,  which  !s  the  result  of  a  strong  dispo- 
sition  on  the  one  hand  to  sell  sud  on  the  other  hand 
a  hesitation  to  buy,  is  felt  to  be  a  curtailing  of  leather 
production.  Lenthev  merchants  are  confident  that 
there  is  a  good  time  ouming — not  with  a  rush — when 
the  exportation  of  leather  will  be  regular  and  profit- 
able, depending  altogether  npon  tho  observance  of 
the  law  of  supply  and  demand.  A  prominent 
leather  merchant  says  that  business  is  decidedly 
more  "healthy"  than  it  was  a  year  ago.  The  exnort 
demand  is  encouraging,  and  it  Is  profitable  to  notU 
producer  and  purchaser.  Au  English  buyer  who  has 
been  in  this  countrj'  for  some  time  making  Invest- 
ments 3as  just  report(.*d  that  one  purchase  of 
leather  made  In  Canada  will  yield  him  sufficleht 
profits  to  pay  tho'e.\penses  of  his  family  during  his 
sojourn  here.  The  danger  of  a  rash  speculative 
spirit  overcoming  tiie  good  sense  of  the  trade  was  re- 
ferred to,  and  the  hope  expressed  that  it  might  be 
avoided,  as  with  the  exercise  of  care  for  a  few 
months  it  seemed  certain  that  tho  trade  would  be 
permanently  benefited.  Higher  prices  ratmot  be  ex- 
pected for  leather.  The  tanners  and  dealers  must  be 
satisfied  with  small  profits.  The  trade  with  tho 
wholesale  dealers  a^  jobbers  in  shoes  is  moderately 
active,  and  orders  rWunied  by  traveling  salesmen  are 
very  favorable.  The  auction  houses  have  not  yet 
been  rushed,  but  the  attendance  is  sjud  to  be  better 
and  bidding  more  spirited.  From  Chicago  shoe 
manufacturers  the  leather  dealers  hear  that  the 
largest  houses  never  did  so  largo  a  business  in  July 
and  August  as  they  have  done  this  vear,  but  the  busi- 
ness is  done  on  small  profits,  ana  there  is  a  conse- 
quent demand  for  leather  at  low  rates.  There  has 
been  an  increased  demand  for  oak  sole-leather,  with 
stock  not  excessive  and  prices  steady,  while  for  hem- 
lock sole  there  has  been  a  steady  demand  for  about 
the  amount  of  goods  received  from  day  to  day. 
Buyers  exercise  great  cnution,  and  sellers  are  con- 
servative. For  the  week  ending  Aug.  16  there  were 
shipped  25.000  sides,  with  encagements  for  about 
tho  same  amount  this  week.  There  has  been  moie 
Inquiry  for  upper  leather,  and  rough  leather  Is 
purcliased  In  small  lots  at  unchanged  prices.  Calf- 
skins are  more  active  at  steady  prices,  while  morocco 
is  taken  In  limited  quantities,  with  objection  to  ask- 
ing prices.  • 

THE  BOOT  AND  SHOE  TRADE. 

.  There  does  not  appear  to  be  any  despondency 
among  the  boot  and  shoe  manufacturers  in  this  City, 
Visits  to  several  lai^  houses  resulted  in  the  dis- 
covery of  the  fact  that  none  of  them  had  done  less 
business  this  year  than  last,  while  some  of  those  sup- 
plying Western  and  Southern  dealers,  the  first  class 
especially,  report  a  decidedly  better  feeling  among 
purchasers  and  considerable  animation  in  manufac- 
ture. The  trade  generally  have  pursued  a  very  con- 
servative course  in  recent  years.  Very  little  stock  is 
made  up  to  anticipate  orders,  and  the  work  that  has 
been  done  has  alwaj's  been  made  up  at  customers'  re- 
quest. The  dullness  among  the  makers  of  fine  shoes  is 
more  protracted  than  among  the  makers  of  staple,  ser- 
viceable wares,  although  in  many  houses  devoted  exclu- 
sively to  the  production  of  the  finest  classes  of  work 
there  is  onoogh  to  do  for  the  ordinary  force  of  men. 
A  few  houses  hadiound  the  business  m  the  beginning 
of  the  season  very  promising,  but  since  very  slow. 
Tlie  trade  in  fine  boots  and  shoes  is  said  to  be  one 
that  must  be  pushed  and  coaxed  :  all  orders  have  to 
be  soUdled.  Stocks  are  very  light,  and  purchasers  of 
all  classes  of  goods  are  buying  fewer  lines  than  they 
did  five  years  ago,  and  are  disposed  to  talk  a  good 
while  about  prices  before  determining.  There 
has  been  some  change  in  prices  daring 
the  year— perhaps  10  per  cent,  would  be  a  fair 
average  of  the  reductions.  There  Is  some  hope  of 
an  increase  in  trade,  but  the  more  careful  men  say 
thoy  do  not  look  for  any  sudden,  remarkable  change 
for  the  better,  but  they  say  they  have  reason  to  hope 
for  a  good  Fall  trade.  The  action  of  the  Crispins  of 
this  City  toward  a  large  firm  which  had  determined 
to  "  run  its  own  business  In  Its  own  way  "  has  re- 
sulted in  the  arrest  of  several  persons,  but  even  this 
course  has  not  prevented  the  Crispins  from  annoying 
the  firm  by  leading  awav  men  while  on  their  way  to 
or  from  work.  8o,  to  keep  the  nien  together,  the  firm 
have  for  somo  time  given  tliem  their  meals  in  ~the 
building  whore  they  work,  and  some  of  them  spena 
their  entire  time  in  the  building.  The  house  referred  to 
had  for  many  years  suffered  its  employes  to  dictate 
in  a  very  loftv  nianner  how  wort  should  be  done  and 
who  should  ^o  it.  It  was  neceasary.  to  meet  the 
growing  demand  for  cheaper  goods,  to  economize  in 
the  manufacture,  and  although  the  business  was  in- 
terrupted, orders  neglected,  and^  opportunities  lost, 
the  principle  involved  is  considered  so  Important  thai 
it  will  be  maintained  by  the  house  at  great  expense. 
While  this  house  and  shops  in  Newark  liave  been  an- 
noyed by  Crispius,  the  strength  of  the  order  appeais 
to  have  been  Impaired,  and  no  strikes  are  ex- 
p|ected.  The  Eastern  manufacturers,  and  par- 
ticularly those  at  Lynn,  report  a  good  busi- 
ness and  freedom  from  labor  difficulties. 
The  makers  of  cheap,  attractive  shoes,  closely 
resembling  in  appearance  the  finest  work  of  the 
best  houses,  are  working  up  about  the  same  qnantl^ 
of  material  as  last  season.  Many  of  them  losii  gpoak 
in  the  Flttshmg  fire,  and  the  orders  have  ziot  oeen 
renewed.  The  reports  of  good  erope  In  the  West  en-

THE  BTJBBEE  CK)ODS  TRADE. 

Perhaps  no  class  of  bneinese  men  are  in  better 
frame  of  mind  than  those  In  the  mannfacttirc  of  rub- 
ber goods.  This  branch  of  trade  has  become  one  of 
great  importance,  and  it  to  steadily  growing  year  by 
year,  notwithstanding  the  general  depcession.  Rub- 
ber enters  mora  largely  every  year  into  iH  sorts  of 
manufactures,  and  there  really  seems  to  be  less  Umit 
to  its  applicability  in  thto  way  than  to  the  elasticity 
of  the  Abstance  which  forms  the  basto  of  so  great  a 
variety  of  productions.  One  house  in  thto  City  doing 
a  large  and  flourishing  trade  in  several  specialties  re- 
ports that  the  increase  In  business  for  the  first  six 
months  of  1877  was  certainly  50  per  cent  over 
that  of  the  same  period  of  1876.  In 
houses  where  the  business  to  solely  or  prin- 
cipallv  that  of  manufacturing  packing  and  belt- 
ing, there  has  not  been  an  increase,  but  the  demand 
has  not  declined-  This  was  a  disappointment,  how- 
ever, as  the  disposition  has  been  to  replace  leather 
belting  by  rubber  whenever  It  was  possible,  and  the 
signs  were  that  manufacturing  was  light  and  would 
not  warrant  refurnishing  of  factories.  Stocks  on 
hand  are  light  in  all  branches,  but  makers  of  boots 
and  shoes  are  compelled  to  manufacture  ahead,  and 
are  carrying  about  as  much  stock  as  Uiey  ever  did. 
There  to  very  little  change  in  these  articles  from 
year  to  year,  and  sales  are  made  generally  with- 
out vtoits  to  the  manufacturers.  Fancy  articles  are 
dull.  Tnere  to  little  change  in  prices,  and  as 
there  is  little  or  no  speculation  in  the  crude  material, 
It  is  likely  that  they  will  remain  steady.  There  to 
hop©  of  a  larger  business  in  the  Fall,  but  no  predic- 
tions are  hazarded.  These  were  made  too  iteelv,  it 
to  thought,  lost  year,  and,  having  buoyed  themselves 
up  with  high  hopes  during  the  Autumn  of  1876,  the 
dealers  have  hod  all  Winter  and  Spring  to  get  over 
thelx  disappointment  at  not  realizing  their  expecta- 
tions. The  attempt  to  introduce  rubber  clothmg  of 
light  weight  and  durability  has  been  rewarded  with 
gratifying  success.  ,  In  the  matter  of  shoes  it  should 
have  been  said  that  at  present  the  regular 
market  has  been  somewhat  affected  by  sev- 
eral auction  sales  of  goods,  at  which  exceedingly 
low  figures  prevailed,  which  palpably  hurt  the  regu- 
lar trade.  While  there  to  no  anticipation  of  any  sud- 
den change  In  business  either  for  better  or  worse.  It 
is  believed  that,  with  an  improvement  in  other 
branches  of  trade  and  activity  among  the  working 
classes,  the  trade  In  fancy  articles,  which  has  been 
the  slowest  in  the  rubber  line  for  a  year  or  two,  will 
undergo  an  Improvement.  The  manufacture  of  toys 
has  improved  greatly,  the  old  clumsy  dolls  and  balls 
and  other  sorts  having  been  gradually  superseded  by 
light  and  graceful  articles,  more  attractive  in  form 
and  color  and  yet  cheaper  and  more  salable  than 
the  kinds  formerly  made.  At  present  there  Is  com- 
paratively little  competition  in  the  trade,  except 
among  small  houses  manufacturing  hose,  belting,  and 
elastic  fabrics,  and  these  manufacturers  perhaps  are 
not  BO  well  satisfied  with  the  present  oasiness  as 
they  are  with  the  contemplation  of  a  possible  activ- 
ity  in  millinjr  business,  which  will  create  a  demand 
for  pacldng  and  beltinij  and  give  them  a  remunera- 
tive or  oven  profitable  trade. 


THE  BtTLDING  TRADE. 
There  is  but  little  change  in  the  building 
trade  to  report,  but  if  anything  can  be  said,  it  to  for 
the  better.  While  there  is  a  great  lack  of  activity, 
there  to  something  doing  all  the  time,  and  the  ntim- 
ber  of  men  employed  to  not  far  behind  the  average. 
They  are  not  making  new  work,  however,  to  any  ex- 
tent. Several  old  buildings  in  good  localities  have 
been  changed  from  residences  into  places  of  busi- 
ness, and  there  have  been  a  few  apartment-houses 
and  private  residences  put  up.  The  number  of  tene- 
ments erected  in  the  first  six  months  of 
1877  to  thought  to  be  larger  than  that  of 
the  same  period  in  1376,  owing  in  large  measure  to 
the  greater  cheapness  of  tobor  and  materiato.  The 
builders  share  the  hope  of  other  tradesmen  that  a 
good  Fail  crop  will  inspire  confidence  and  promote 
business.  Tho  foar  that  the  political  campaign  will 
interfere  with  bnslness  is  not  by  any  means  so  great 
as  it  was  last  Fall.  A  better  business  than  usuiQ  was 
found  in  the  Spring  among  landlords  and  owners  of 
property  which  had  run  down,  and  could  only  be 
rented  at  all  by  restoration  and  general  improve- 
ments to  attract  the  eye  and  afford  all  convenience  to 
tenants.  The  changing  of  houses  into  shops  on  some 
of  the  leading  thoroughfares  continued,  and  this 
famished  employment  nt  low  rates  to  builders  and 
their  employes.  Hoi>e  with  the  builders  to  contin- 
gent upon  several  things-  They  do  not  expect  a  revival 
of  business  until  real  estate  becomes  firm  or  appre- 
ctotes  in  value,  and  of  the  totter  contingency  they 
have  little  expectation,  at  least  no  immediate  reason 
for  indulging  it.  Should  the  mercantile  community 
meet  with  fair  prosperity  in  the  Fall,  they  will  expect 
to  see  larger  contracts  nuule  and  more  men  brought 
into  service.  But  prices  are  low  and  are  likely  to  re- 
main where  they  are  for  a  time,  and  there  to  no 
truth  in  the  opinion  that  fortunes  are  to  be  made 
quickly  and  easily  this  ten  years.  Materials  are  low, 
labor  is  cheap,  and  the  spirit  of  trades- union tom  is 
scarcely  worth  taking  notice  of  amonz  the  workmen. 
so  harmless  and  inactive  is  it  and  has  it  been  for 
several  years.  It  is  believed  that  the  state  of  things 
is  nowhere  about  thto  City  worae  than  last  year,  and 
it  to  safer  to  say  that  it  to  better. 


THE  PAIXT  TR.A.DE. 
The  loading  houses  in  the  paint  trade  are  doing 
fully  as  much  business 'as  they  were  a  year  ago,  and 
look  for  an  Improvemont  in  September.  Stocks  are 
held  very  lightly  by  retailers,  and  they  are  buying 
from  time  to  time  merely  to  supply  their  wants. 
Thto  to  felt  to  be  certainly  a  healthful  indication,  if 
it  does  not  betoken  zreat  prosperity.  Men  do  not 
"  load  up  "  so  heavily  as  formerly.  The  foreign  busi- 
ness wss  formerly  much  larger  tlian  It  to,  but  there 
are  still  persons  who  will  use  the  imported 
oil-colors,  and  pay  the  duty  on  them, 
rather  than  use  the  home-made.  There  has 
in  late  years  been  a  steady  decline  in  the  staples 
uf  the  paint  trade.  linseed-oU  and  white  lead.  They 
are  now  down  to  figures  as  low  as  they  have  been 
Blnce  tho  war.  White  lead  is  now  9  cents  per  pound, 
ground  with  oil ;  during  the  war  it  was  22  cftits  per 
pound.  Liuseed-oiU  now  quoted  at  about  57  cents  a 
gallun,  enuld  not  be  bought  tor  $1  50  per  gallon. 
The  decline  has  been  not  rapid  but  steady.  Tlic 
changes  in  the  building  trade  are  alwavs  felt  by  the 
dealers  in  paints.  When  many  now'buildincs  are 
going  up  they  hear  of  it,  and  are  called  upon  for 
^e  best  qualities  to  paint  thorn.  Now  there  Is  com- 
paratively nothing  doing  in  the  way  of  new  houses 
to  paint,  so  landlords  are  painting  their  housee 
anew  and  In  every  way  making  concessions  to 
tenants  for  the  sake  of  keeping  them.  \Vhile  there 
has  been  a  declining  trade  generally,  In  artists' 
paints  and  materials  there  to  httle  change,  and  that 
for  the  better.  Tho  use  of  ^Vmerican  tube  paints  Is 
a  business  formerly  taken  almost  exclusively  by 
importers,  but  with  the  improvements  made  in  the 
manufacture  of  domestic  paints  they  have  come 
more  generally  into  notice  and  popularity.  One  or 
two  houses  reivorted  that  they  had  been  doing  a  very 
much  lai^T  business  than  they  had  a  year  ago,  and 
thatit  promised  to  hold  nearly  all  it  had  improved. 
Factories  are  running,  some  of  them  on  short  time 
time  and  others  on  full  time,  but  even  the  dullest 
clerk  has  an  idea  that  there  are  to  be  more  sales  and 
more  movements  to  chronicle.  The  stock  on  hand 
to  Ught. 


CROCKERY  AND  GLASSWARE  TRADE. 

Until  some  snbstanoe  shall  have  been  discov- 
ered that  will  answer  the  purpose  of  ironstone  ware, 
and  yet  be  without  its  destmctibUity,  the  crockery 
dealers  expect  to  do  a  steady  business  in  supplying 
the  woeful  waste  which  to  constantly  wrought  by 
careless  servants.  That  to  about  all  that  hna  been 
done,  the  dealers  say,  for  two  or  throe  years,  and 
last  year  there  was  dire  dtotress  in  many  houses  in 
the  trade.  To  add  to  the  chanta  of  dealers,  there 
were  numbers  of  failures,  and  quantities  of  bank- 
rupt stock  were  forced  upon  the  market  to  the 
Injury  of  the  reeular  dealers.  The  weed  ing 
out  process  has  left  the  solid  men  standing, 
without  much  support  from  the  cousuming  class,  but 
the  dark  cloud  which  hung  over  them  now  seems  to 
be  breaking,  and  they  are  looking  forward  to  an  Im- 
provement iu  the  Fall  which  will  enable  them  once 
more  to  ratoo  their  heads  and  go  on  hopefully.  The 
Weitem  farmer  who  has  agood croptolikelyto  find  a 
way  to  ropiooe  his  damaged  crockery  by  new  sets, 
ana  with  the  belief  that  such  to  to  be  the  case,  the 
merchants  in  the  crockery  comer  are  laying  in  mod- 
erate stocks,  believins  that  thev  will  not  rest  bo  long 
upon  their  shelves  as  their  last  purchases.  The 
china  dealers  look  upon  their  goods  as  dhectly  in  the 
line  of  luxuries.  There  to  not  muoh  doing 
among  them  as  yet,  but  they  all  say  that 
they  have  done  business  enough  to  keep  them  alive, 
and  anything  better  would-  be  hailed  with  thanks- 
givlng.  The  stocks  on  liand  are  not  less  in  volume 
than  last  Summer.  Up  to  the  time  of  the  strikes  the 
business  was  encouraging,  but  then  it  declined  again. 
Collections  have  been  hard  to  make.  Prices  nave 
constantly  declined  during  the  last  few  years,  but 
thto  season  they  are  steady  and  almost  firm.  .There 
to  no  sp^^eulative  feeling,  and  it  seems  to  have  died 
out,  never'  to  rise  again.  Competition  has  been  so 
aharP/ihat  business  has  been  done  at  sli;jht  profits, 
aa^iAa,  some  instances  at  a  positive  loss.  This  Killing 
«dmpetition  will  probably  bo  remedied,  as  all  dealers 
have  become  disgusted  with  the  business  of  cutting 
each  other's  throats,  and  are  now  seriously  thinking 
of  coming  to  an  agreement  by  which  the  condition 
of  all  will  be  bettered.  On  the  whole,  the  outlook  to 
better  than  it  has  t>een  for  many  years,  and  it  to 
made  f^rom  observation,  and  not  from  the  desire  only 
to  see  "the  promise  of  good  times  realized. 


THE  PIANO  TRADE. 
Tho  piano  trade  has  for  a  year  or  more  been 
an  exceedingly  trying  one  to  a  great  many  small 
manufacturers,  and  the  depression  in.  business  has 
been  the  cause  of  the  withdrawal  of  some  of  thnn 
from  the  trade.  Most  of  these  houses  came  up  in 
"  flush  "  times,  when  there  was  a  good  deal  of  money 
to  spare  for  pianos,  and  there  were  a  great  many  per- 
sons who  wanted  cheap  pianos  and  who  didn't  Jcnow 
Tcry  mui^  about  selecting  instrumeatB  that  would 
atandwear  and  tear  or  the  brilliancy  which  they 
displayed  in  the  wareroom.  Wiien  money  became 
seener,  and  prices  were  reduced,  the  deoBae  in  the 
trade  affBCted  dealers  In  these  ebeap  buCrn- 
tteats  first.  The  Uxxer,  older,  and  wealthier 
houses      ihared     in      the     haiA

they  kept  on  mansbetnriag,  and  tfce  |nirrhiMee  that 
were, made  were  Judfdons  andwStii  a  thftucht  fbr 
durability  as  well  as  cheapness.  The  OUteamal  year 
was  for  Most  of  tbern  a  year  of  hope,  bnt  it  was 
not  a  year  of  foliUlment.  Uany  hooBee  spent  more 
in  bringtog  their  Wares  into  promlnenoe  than  the 
profits  of  the  year  would  cover.  To  weather  the 
oark  dayssinoehaabeen  a  sore  trial  to  many  finnft, 
but  with  a  nomber  of  them  who  were  ^-totted  the  out- 
look presented  now  is  reassuring.  Like  all  other 
men  in  business  who  wait  on  general  movements, 
most  of  the  piano  men  are  looMuf  forward  to  a  de- 
cided Improvementinbusinesswhichtoto  beKiu  at  the 
West  after  the  handling  of  the  crops,  and  which  will 
then,  it  to  believed,  move  eastward  and  be  felt  in  all 
elaasea  of  trade.  With  the  mannfaeturera  who  are 
prominently  foremost  there  has  never  been  any  inter- 
ruption of  business.  Full  forces  of  experienced  men 
have  been  kept  at  work  at  rales  of  pay  little  less  than 
they  were  five  years  ago,  and  there  has  been  a  suf- 
ficient demand  to  pay  expenses  and  n  little  more. 
But  since  Winter  there  has  been  a  decided  inprore- 
ment,  except  amons  the  builders  of  cJieap  and  poor 
instruments.  The  largest  house  manufacturing  in 
this  City  reports  that  there  has  been  a  vezy  encour- 
aging business  since  Spring.  By  their  books,  which 
were  opened  for  inspection,  it  was  seen  that  in  June 
they  sold  more  pianos  than  in  any  preceding  June  since 
their  factories  nave  been  iu  operation,  and  that  200 
more  pianos  were  sold  in  June,  1877,  than  In  June, 
1876.  The  business  began  to  improve  very  de- 
cidedly in  May,  and  continued  to  flourish  until  July 
20,  when  the  railroads  were  interrupted  by  the 
strikes,  and  then  it  fell  off,  and  has  just  begun  to 
show  a  recovery.  Thto  firm's  receipts  In  June  were 
$142,000,  and  this  production  was  larger  than  any 
other  one  month  in  the  history  of  the  house.  To  add 
to  the  pleasure  which  the  house  feeto  in  the  growth 
of  the  home  trade,  tbey  atoo  note  an  eii>ort  trade  of 
some  importance.  Scarcely  a  steam-ship  goes  to 
England  now  that  does  not  carry  one  of  their  in- 
struments. The  importation  of  Broadwoods  and 
Elards  has  stopped,  aa  it  was  found  that 
these  instruments  would  not  bear  the  changes  In  the 
climate  here,  and  soon  deteriorated  in  quality.  This 
situation,  with  eome  modifications,  to  that  of  sev- 
eral firms  known  to  be  at  the  head  of  the  trade, 
and  they  all  feel  that  people  are  better  provided  with 
money  this  season  than  thoy  were  last,  and  that  they 
are  abont  to  spend  it  with  care,  but  with  more  free- 
dom than  last  FalL  A  house  having  agents  out 
through  the  Western  States  reports  favorable  re- 
turns, frequent  orders,  and  a  promtoe  for  trade  that 
has  not  been  equaled  for  10  years.  They  talk  with 
some  elation,  and,  after  allowance  has  been  made 
for  the  etotion  which  seems  to  come  so  easily  and 
naturally  to  men  in  the  musical-instrument  Ihie,  it 
must  be  admitted  that  they  have  more  hope  than 
they  did  last  year,  and  that  they  certainly  liave  had 
more  business,  notwithstanding  the  absence  of  the 
throng  of  Centennial  visitors.  One  firm,  which  has 
a  fair  trade,  to  about  to  erect  an  additional  factory, 
and  will  then  Increase  the  number  of  its  employes, 
not  as  a  specuUtion.  but  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
a  trade  which  has  had  a  alow  and  sure  growth,  and 
wliich  has  outgrown  its  present  quarters. 

THE  WINE  AND  LIQUOR  TRADE. 

It  may  be  encouraging  to  the  temperance  peo- 
ple to  learn  from  the  importers  of  wines  and  Uquon 
that  their  business  has  fallen  off,  that  the  de- 
mand for  champagne  to  light,  that  the  importa- 
tions are  slow  and  made  with  caution,  and  that  there 
to  a  dtooosition  among  many  houses  long  in  the  trade 
to  put  up  their  shutters  and  turn  their  capital  and 
attention  in  other  directions.  It  may  be>  gratifying 
to  hear  that  throughout  the  Eastern  States  the  call 
for  brandies  to  weak,  and  not  so  lond  as  It  was  a  year 
ago.  It  may  be  cause  for  coi^ratulation  among  the 
disciples  of  Murphy  to  know  that  stocks  are 
generally  very  light  and  held  very  close  to  the  de- 
mand. All  thto  seems  to  be  the  ease  with 
the  importers  of  liquors.  Depression  In  business 
circles  told  upon  them  heavily.  They  have  auflTered 
many  failures.  The  consumption  of  champagne,  the 
favorite  wine  with  Amerioaus,  has  fallen  off  steadily 
with  the  depression  of  business  until  it  does  not 
now  begin  to  be  what  it  was  just  after  the  war.  Yet 
there  to  little  change  in  prices.  Importers  have  still 
to  pay  the  price  asked  for  vintages,  or  they  cannot 
have  the  wines.  While  the  consuraprion  of  imported 
wines  has  declined,  the  business  of  domestic  makers 
of  wines  and  liquors  has  generally  improved.  The 
wine-makers  are  multiplying  all  over  the 
country,  and  their  productions  are  meeting 
with  a  good  deal  of  favor.  Champagnes  of 
fair  quality  to  all  but  eonnolsseurs  are  finding 
their  way  into  the  market.  Everywhere 
grapes  are  thrown  into  the  press  when  it  does  not 

Say  to  send  the  fruit  to  market,  and  the  result  to  a  good 
eikl  of  excellent  wine,  and  not  a  little  stuff  that  to 
grape-juice  partly  fermented  and  "held"  by  a  con- 
siderable quantity  of  alcohol.  Califomla  makers 
have  been  very  bnsv  for  several  years  back,. and  are 
preparing  to  do  a  ^arge  business  this  season.  They 
made  last  year  about  (>. 000. 000  gallons  of  wine,  of 
which  all  but  abont  2.0O0.O00  gallons  were  disposed 
of.  Thto  year  they  expect  to  make  8.000.000  gal- 
lons, and  have  no  fear  that  a  market  will  not  be 
found  for  the  immense  quantity.  This  to  but  the 
product  of  one  State.  Then  Ohio  and  New- York 
vintners  have  not  beefi  idle,  and  their  wines 
have  met  with  a  ready  sale  at  rates  very  mnch  lower 
than  imported  wines  can  be  sold  for.  In  whtoky 
there  has  been  a  good  trade,  though  the  demand  has 
not  increased  in -the  same  ratio  that  It  was  increasing 
before  business  generally  became  depressed.  Reteul- 
ers  comptoin  to  wholesale  merchants  of  the  injury 
inflicted  upon  them  by  the  temjwrance  agitators.  A 
msrked  increase  In  the  use  of  lager  beer  and  ales  has 
also  tended  to  dlmintoh  the  liquor  traffic  and  the  de- 
mand for  "sterner  stuff."  Still  there  Is  enough 
doing  to  keep  most  of  the  old  houses  busy,  although 
dealers  are  complaining  that  with  slow'  sales  and 
smaller  orders  their  profits  are  by  no  means  so  great 
or  so  rapid  as  they  have  known  them  to  be.  With 
laree  crops  there  will  come  a  tendency  to  cheapness 
and  perhaps  an  increased  consumption.  In  parts  of 
several  States  where  the  temperance  movement  at 
one  time  destroyed  business  almost  entlrelv  there  Is 
an  improvement  as  the  excitement  wear*  orf.  but  not 
a  return  to  the  former  activity  in  liquor  business.  It 
to  considered  too  eariy  yet  to  predict  what  the  Fall 
business  will  be.  Should  trade  generally  bo  active, 
the  liauoT  dealers  are  confident  that  they  will  partici- 
pate in  the  prosperity  which  will  visit  the  country, 
but  none  of  them  are  sanguine,  or  are'  basing  any  cal- 
culations on  a  possible  ' '  rush. "

THE  TOBACCO  AND  aOAK  TRADE. 
While  tbe  reports  from  the  South  concerning 
the  tobacco  crop  are  generally  favorable  to  the  con- 
clusion that  the  market  will  be  abundantly  supplied 
during  the  coming  Fall  and  Whiter  season,  the  re- 
ports are  various  from  differeiA  sections,  and  occa- 
sional complaints  are  heard.  Th^  complaints,  how- 
ever, are  believed  to  come  from  individtials  who  do 
notihejin  to  represent  the  tobaeoo  Interest  by  a  great 
deal,  and  manufacturen  here  say  they  have  every  as- 
surance that  there  will  be  tobacco  enough  for  home 
constimption  and  a  laf^  surpltui  for  exportation. 
From  Louisville  tliere  come  reports  that  the  sales 
there  are  less  than  they  were  for  the  first  six 
months  of  1376.  Among  manufacturers  of  chew- 
ing and  smoking  tobacco,  the  general  report 
is  that  businoM  is  fully  as  light  se  it  was 
last  year,  when  it  was  considered  to  he  very  dull. 
There  is,  of  course,  a  steady  demand  for  staple  man- 
ufartures,  but  for  three  years  there  has  been  a  de- 
clining business,  and  the  volume  of  last  year  is  con- 
sidered to  be  greater  than  that  of  this  for  the  first 
six  months.  Stocks  are  usually  laid  iu  during  the 
Winter  season,  and  the  months  of  June,  July,  and 
August  are  ordinarily  quiets  But  it  Is  said  that  these 
months  were  never  so  qniet  as  they  have  been  this 
year.  Then,  with  the  maaufactnrers,  colloctiona 
are  said  to  have  been  difficult.  There  is  a  glance  of 
hope  toward  the  future,  but  there  is  no  disposition 
to  taUc  about  it,  as  all  predictions  made  last  Fall 
failed.  While  the  manufacturers  of  tobacco  are  thus 
a  little  gloomy,  they  still  continue  to  do  business 
with  reduced  force,  and,  hein^  principally  Btrong 
houses,  nre  able  to  stand  and  wait.  Thelmporters  en 
tobacco  are  feeling  better,  a  verv  good  demand  being 
felt  all  the  time  for  Havana  to  be  used  in  cigar-mak- 
ing, although  the  tarifl?  is  complained  of  as  ourdeu- 
Bome.  Storks  are  but  moderately  held,  and  no  spee- 
ulation  is  Indulged  in.  Perhaps  no  branch  of  the  to- 
bacco trade  is  letter  satisfied  with  the  condition  of 
things  tlian  the  cigar-makers.  The  manufacture  of 
cigars— of  high  price,  medium,  and  cheap  qualities — 
hu  grown  amadngly  of'  late  years.  The  great 
tax  on  imported  cig&rshas  made  Havanas  so  expen- 
sive that  many  persons  who  wotUd  use  them  iu 
"llush"  times  now  disoo\'er  that  they  are  beyond 
their  reach.  There  are  several  large  factories  run- 
ning in  this  Olty  which  employ  hund)*eds  of  hands  in 
the  manufacttire  of  cheap  cigars.  One  of  the  largest. 
perha^  the  very  largest,  is  also  the  oldest,  and 
when  It  is  known  that  they  are  now  maaafaeturinc  at 
the  rate  of  700.000  cigars  a  week,  or  36,000,000  a 
year,  an  idea  can  perhaps  be  formed  of  tha  magai- 
tudd  of  a  busine.ss  that  IB  scarcely  more  than  in  its 
infancy.  Agencies  for  the  Bale  of  cheap  cigars  made 
in  these  factories  are  abont  to  be  established  in  Eng- 
land, and  before  long  on  the  Continent  of  Europe,  so 
confident  are  the  men  who  run  these  MtabUahmenta 
that  they  can  compete  with  foreign  makers,  both  in 
price  and  quality  of  goods  oflEer&d.  These  men  say 
tiiat  business  is  better  than  it  was  last  year,  one  firm 
claiming  to  have  done  $200,000  more  business  in. 
the  first  six  mouths  of  1877  than  in  thsaame  period 
of  1876.  These  men,  very  natumlly,  do  not  want 
the  tariff  touched.  They  consider  the  tax  up- 
on imported  cigars  stifficieutly  low,  and  they 
point  to  their  hundreds  of  employes  and  say, 
"Isn't  Ithetterto  have  these  men  and  women  em 
ployed  here  than  in  Cuba  1"  The  competltioit  be 
tween  makers  la  very  great,  and  no  efforts  are  apaied 
to  push  the  sale  of  the  cheapest  grades  of  cigars  all 
over  the  States.  The  dealers  find  that  there  is  a 
growing  taste  for  cigars,  and  chat  the  demand  for 
cheap  cigars  is  alwavs  followed  In  time  by  a  request 
for  a  better  grade,  indicaCing  somewhat  the  educa- 
tion of  tho  smoker.  AVhile  the  makers  of  domestic 
cigars  are  thns  feeling  comfortable,  surrounded  by  a 
steadily  improving  business,  rewarded  with  fair 
profits,  the  importers  of  cigars  say  that  tfieir  trade 
becomes  lighter  vear  by  year.  Or  eooxae,  there  is, 
and  always  will  be,  a  demand  for  Havana  eigmra- 
While  the  excellence  of  the  best  domestic  eig>n  U 
admitted-— and  it  i^  well  known  that  many  pertons 
who.  formerly  found  it  easy  to  use  Imported  ctous 
are  forced  to  put  up  with  "domestics  — there  la  a 
class  of  smokers  who  will  not  touch  a  cigar  not  hn- 
ported,  and  who  are  wUllug  to  bear  their  share  of  the 
tarlfl  tn  order  to  vniixj  the  luxury.  The  Spanish 
Government  takes  $3  50  on  every  1.000  of  elgsn 
exported  from  Cab*,  and  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment coUeots  a  double  tax  for  thaiB.  which  makes 
cigars  which  are  bongbt  In  ^vrnna  for  $36  per  1,000 
worth  $90  when  ttioy  zytch  Kew-YoA,  While  the 
importers  say  thoy  e:q>ect  to^  pay  something  to  the 
QoVemment,  they  are  anzloua  to  see  a  TWiskm  of 
tike  tariff  that  will  MMoar*^  the  ox«  of  good  ol^zy

for  wherever  there  is  density  of  population  tiiere  la 
a  pro:>ort1onate  amount  of  sickness,  not  only  from 
xhe  fact  of  tliere  being  large  numbers  of  people  within

pbes  poverty,  want  of  proper  food,  neglect  of  cleanli-

which  is  to  poison  the  atmosphere  and  contribute

fifty-three  deaths  were  reported  to  this  bnrean  dur- 
ing the  week  ending  Saturday,  Aug.  18,  1877.  wbkh 
is  a  decrease  of  72  deaths  compared  with  the  number 
reported  the  preceding  week,  and  59  less  than  the 
number  reported  during  the  corresponding  week  of 
187G.  The  actual  mortality  for  the  week  ending 
Aug.  11  was  604,  which  is  89.6  below  the  araraga 
for  the  oorresponding  we«k  of  the  past  fire  yean, 
and  represents  an  annual  death  rate  of  29.10  per 
1,000  persons  living,  the  population  estimated  at 
1,079,020.  The  mortality  for  the  past  12  weeks 
compares  very  favorably  with  the  deaths  in  the  cor- 
respon-ding  period  of  last  year.  The  total  number  of 
deaths  reported  to  this  bureau  from  the  week 
ending  June  2  to  Auff.  18-  was  7.069,  against 
8,274  for  the  corresponding  weeks  of  1876.  Dortoe 
these  weeks  of  18/7,  diarrhceal  diseases  caused 
2,137  deatha,  of  which  1,962  were  children  voder 
5  years,  against  2,602  deaths  from  the  aam^e  oaosea.

-  PouGHiiEPSiE,  N.  y.,  Ang.  21.— This  waa 
the  ilHt  day  of  the  August  meeting  of  the  Httdson 
Sivar  Driving  Park  Association,  and  tha  attsBdaaae 
waa  lig^t  in  eompariaoa  with  prevloua  years.  The 
weather  was  quite  warm  and  tlie  track  in  (air  eondi- 
tion.  The  racing  was  splendid,  t>ecause  of  the  win* 
ners  in  previous  races  in  the  circuit  meeting  here, 
the  weak  ones  having  been  iiltered  out  at  Oleveland, 
Buffalo,  Bodustarj  and  tJtiea.  The  Twenty4SrA 
Begiment  band  was  in  attendance,  and  there  were 
many  leading  turfites  here  from  abroad.  The  man- 
agers did  not  expect  a  large  attendance  to-day,  but 
believe  that  during  the  next  three  days  there  will  be 


second  attempt  they  ^^re  sent  on  their  journey  very 
■Tsoly,  bat  when  they  got  uoder  war  Bradamante 
ran  to  the  frost,  and  by  the  time  they  had  reached 
the  judge's  stand  she  .was  a  short  length  ahead  of 
^Tlzginina,  who  waa  leading  Owens  by  a'  head,  tiie 
|!att«r  half  a  length  in  advanea  of  Oriole  who  was  in  a 
pocket.  Aa  th^  went  round  the  turn  Bradamante 
jmllsd  out  and  gav*  Oriole  an  opportunity  to  push 
throng  wliich  she  did,  and  she  wsa  soon  on  even 
terms  with  the  leader.  Sayres  had  the 
lastar  under  a  pull  and  allowed  Oriole 
t«  pass  to  the  front,  and  at  the 
quarter  pole  she  was  a  length  before  Bradamante, 
who  waa  the  same  distance  in  front  ot  Virginius  and 
'Owens,  who  were  running  together.  When  they  ran 
along  the  back  stretch  Evans  forced  the  pace  with 
Oriole,  and  she  rapidly  opened  a  gap  of  Jialf  a  length 
of  daylight  between  herself  and  Bradamante,  while 
tiiaze  was  also  the  same  distance  of  space  between 
Ihe  favorite  and  the  two  rear  ones.  Further  on, 
however,  Oriole  began  to  lose  ground,  and  by  the 
time  tliey  reached  the  half-nule  pole,  Brada- 
mante was  cbai&ng  Oriole's  quarter,  and  a 
lenxth  behind  waa  ^'^rgiIlia3,  a  length  and  a 
half  in  advance  of  Owena,  who  showed  signals  of 
distress-  Coming  round  the  lower  turn  the  pace  be- 
came fsster,  and  Oriole  still  held  the  first  position, 
half  a  length  in  front  of  the  favorite,  while  Barbce 
held  Virginius  well  in  hand  and  was  two  lengths  be- 
hind them,  while  Henry  Owens  ixad  quit  and  was  left 
six  lengths  in  the  rear.  In  this  manner  they  turned 
into  the  home  stretch,  and  when  they  passed  the  fur- 
lone;  pole  Oriole  was  beaten  and  Evans  was  using  the 
'^rhlp.  Bradamante  now  came  to  the  front,  but  in 
the  meantime  Barbee  s«t  Virginias  going  on  the  ex- 
treme outside,  and  in  the  last  couple  of  jumps  won 
tlie  fi,ee  by  a  neck  in  the  fast  time  of  1:57^.  Oriole 
."WVM  four  iengtiis  behind  and  Oweus  beaten  off. 

TBZ  HABDINO  STAKES. 
:  The  second  event  was  the  Harding  Stalces  for  3- 
pear  olds,  one  mile  and  a  half,  wliich  closed  with  32 
jiomiuations,  and  only  four  of  them  appeared  at  the 
post.  Tliese  were  Wash  Booth,  Zoo  Z.to,  Cuba,  and 
Vermont.  Of  course,  in  this  lot  Zoo  Zoo  was 
an  immense  favorite,  and  sold  at  $200  to  $60  for 
the  field.  They  were  started  from  the  half-mile  pole, 
and  when  the  flag  fell  Vermont  took  the  lead,  Wasli 
Booth  and  Zoo  Zoo  tioing  together,  and  Cuba  in  the 
rear.  Coining  around  the  lower  torn  Vermont  set 
out  to  make  hot  work,  and  was  soon  showing  a  lead 
of  three  lengths,  the  others  being  together.  When 
they  turned  into  the  home  stretch  Cuba  came  to  tiie 


a  large  turfiont.  The  first  race  was  for  the  12:31 
class,  and  the  starters  were  Roman  Chirf,  Joseph 
A,  St.  Bemo,  Dame  Trot,  W.  H.  Arnold,  and  Cham- 
pion, Jr.  In  the  pools  Dame  Trot  waa  the  favorite. 
The  result  was  as  follows :

THE  TWO-TEAK  OLD    SWEKPSTAKE3. 

Tte  third  event  was  the  sweepstakes  for  S-yeir  ■

iBStions,  but  only  two  of  them  faced  the  music,  ' 
namely.  Spartan  and  Grinstead's  Alarm  colt.  This  '

THE  THB£E-<2trABT£B  DASH. 
She  Sport  terminated  with  a  three  quarters  of  a 
mile  dash.  There  were  eight  entries,  and  six  of  them 
came  to  the  post,  namely:  Virrinius.  First  Chance, 
Bltadamanthns,  Dan  K,  XUa  Wotten  and  Diamond. 
Isx  tiie  betting  Khadamanthus  ■  was  the  leading

^00.  Dan  K  being  second  favorite  at  $350,  Vir;^- 
toa  ^75.  and  £lTa  Wotten  $150.  There  was  a 
coai^e  of  breaks  away,  and  then  thev  were 
aent  away  to  a  rather  poor  start,  with  Virgmina  in 
front,  BoadamBnthoa  second,  Ella  Wotten  third, 
Urat  Chance  fourth.  Diamond  fifth,  and  Dan  K 
last  As  they  ran  down  the  chute,  Ella  "VYotten  fell 
back,  and  Fir«t  Chance  assumed  the  third  place.  At 
the  half-mile  pole,  where  they  turn  into  the  regular 
ttaek,  Vlri^nfus  was  leading  half  a  length,  and  First 


Une  in  33  minutes.  The  time  nsnally  occupied  by 
the  horse  cars  is  38  minutes.  The  expezl- 
mont  waa  pronounced  a  ■nceeai,  th«  motor 
proving  mnoh  lesa  liable  to  frighten  honea 
than  was  anticipated.  The  car  was  found 
to  run  easy,  there  was  no  ;troable  In  romiding 
curves,  and  no  difficulty  in  asvending  the  heaTiest 
grades.  The  car  is  thr^  feet  ^ptDger  than  the  ordi- 
nary street  car,  and  will  comfortably  seat  26  persoxui. 
The  boiler  is  imder  the  front  platform,  and  the  mik- 
chinery  is  under  the  car.  At  uie  end  of  tb^  car  is  a 
large  mirror,  at  each  side  of  which  are  two  narrow 
windows.  Between  these  windows  and  within  easy 
reach  are  small  knobs,  around  which  are  printed  the 
words,  "  To  stop  the  car,  touch  the  knoo."  When 
the  knob  is  pressed  a  bell  over  the  fear  platform  nuti- 
fles'  the  conductor  that  a  passenger  wishes  to  get  out, 
and  he  stops  the  car.  A  speakipg-tnbe  also  runs  from 
the  rear  to  the  front  platform,  and  through  this  the 
conductor  and  engineer  can  communicate  with  each 
other.  There  is  Uttle  or  no  smoke  from  the  engine, 
and  the  motor  does  not  make  any  noise.  The  run- 
ning gear  and  boilers  for  four  other  motors  idso 
arrived  yesterdav,  and  these,  it  is  ext>ected,  will  be 
finished  and  reaoy  for  use  in  a  week  or  ten  days,  by

FATAL  SXPJBIOMENT  WITS  A  FIBE-ESOAPE. 
S.  £.  Hardman,  of  Providence,  R.  L,  met 
with  an  accidental  and  violent  death  at  12i«  Aator 
Honse  yesterday  afternoon.  He  h&d  obttttoad 
permission  of  the  hotel  managers  to  exhibit  a  new 
fire-escape  on  their  building.  The  apparatus  waa 
fastened  to  the  roof  of  the  hotel,  and  swung  dowmon

The  htftrlng  in  the  cases  of  the  Chinese  and 
other  dgar  vendors  arrested  on  Sunday  on  the  oha]^ 
of  selliag  unstamped  cigars,  was  had  yesterday  after- 
noon before  Commissioner  Shields.  Ah  Gook,  better 
known  aa  "Ah  Gut,"  a  little  old  man  who  kept  a 
stand  at  thaoonier  of  Bowary  and  Broome-street, 
waa  diaeharged  on  his  own  raeognizanee  on  promis- 
ing to  *'  do  so  no  more."  John  Ah  Fog,  of  No.  218 
Bowery,  who  had  paid  no  license,  said  he  had  been 
"  only  two  months  tn  the  country,  and  didn't  know 
anybetter,"  was  let  goon  his  own  recognizance,  on 
pxomUlng  to  take  out  a  Ueense.  John  Johnny,  of 
Ko.  258  Bowery,  who  had  only  one  eye  and  a  long 
"  pigtail"  wrapped  around  his  head,  was  very  loqua- 
dous.  He  said  he  had  just  come  from  Kew-Orleans, 
and  had  '*  no  uncle,  no  brother,  and  no  eat."  and  was 
going  on  to  tell  his  history  when  he  waa  cut  short  by 
being  discharged  on  his  own  recognisance  on  promis- 
ing to  get  a  license-  Adam  Wolf,  a  Roumanian,  who 
said  he  dealt  in  "  cabbage-leaf  cigars,"  and  conla  not 
be  held  for  selling  genuine  tobacco  cigars,  was  held 
for  the  Grand  Jury,  in  default  of  $500  bail.  Ah 
Sam,  a  Fulton  Market  cigar  vendor,  said  he  tried  to 
sell  one  box  to  get  bread,  and  was  let  go  on  promising 
to  sin  no  more.  Ohn  Fee,  another  Fulton  Market 
vendor,  who  was  arrested  Ust  year,  was  held  ta 
default  of  $250  balL  being  his  second  of- 
,  fense.'  Ah  Pat,  a  Bowery  vendor,  was  a 
jolly  fellow,  who  laughed  all  over  when  arxafgnad, 
and  bowed  to  the  floor  when  let  go  on  his  own  re- 
oosnieaaee.  Charles  O'Kahn.  a  Bowery  vendor,  a 
^ostly-looking  Chinaman,  who  said  he  had  been  sick, 
promised  to  get  a  license,  and  was  let  go,  like  the 
others.  John  Sam,  a  venerable  Celestial,  whose  only 
excuse  was  that  he  waspoor,  was  dischaiged  onpromis- 
ing  to  go  to  sea.  Ah  Kahn  said.  "Sometimes  sell, 
Bometlmea  don't  sell,"  aijui,  after  a  warning,  was 
allowed  to  depart.  Ah  Que,  who  bad  acted  as  inter- 
preter for  the  others,  said  he  was  poor,  and 
could  get  nothing  thing  to  do,  and  so 
sold  a  few  dgars.  He  was  let  go, 
but  expressed  great  sorrow  when  be  found  his  deaza 
were  held  for  confiscation.  John  Johnson,  another 
one-eyed  Chinaman,  was  discharged  on  his  own  re- 
cognizance. Will  Lee,  an  Ameneanieed  Chinaman, 
exhibited  a  license  to  sell  at  Ko.  122  Bowery,  but  he 
had  sold  elsewhere,  and  out  of  boxes  not  stamped. 
He  was  discharged  with  a  warning.  Charles  Solo- 
mon, a  Ctennan,  who  gave  his  name  on  Monday  as 
Schmidt,  and  who  has  been  twice  arrested  before, 
was  required  to  give  $250  bail  to  await  the  action  of 
the  Grand  Jtiry.  Charles  Bei'&gard,  a  German, 
exhibited  a  license,  and  was  fllowed  to  go,  it  appear- 
ing that  he  was  arrested  under  a  misapprehension. 
Lewis  Cohen,  who  said  he  was  poor,  and  otily  sold 
on  Sundays,  was  discharged  on  promising  to  sell  no 
more.  Ohn  Fee,  who  had  been  held  in  default  of 
bail,  was  found  to  be  suffering  from  severe  iUneas, 
and  was  allowed  to  go  ou  his  own  recognizance. 

This  concluded  the  proceedings,  the  mfdn  object  of 
which  was  to  deter  the  Chinamen  from  eontinning  to 
violate  the  law.     ___^ 

'     AN  EXTRA  DOSE  OF  ATJROPINE, 

THE  TWO  SCALES  OF  HOMEOPATHIO  PHAB- 
KACIBTS— A  PRESCRIPTION  TAKEN  WITH 
BAD  RESULTS. 
A  rather  singular  case,  illnstrating  the  neoes- 
sity  of  extreme  caution  in  the  prescription  as  well  as 
in  the  taking  of  poisonous  drugs  as  medidnea,  was 
before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court,  Cham- 
bers, yesterday.  The  suit  referred  to  is  ^ronght  by 
Harriet  £.  Bedloe  against  Charles  T.  Hurlburt.  The 
latter  is  the  proprietor  of  the  American  Homeopathic 
Pharmacy,  at  No.  S98  Broadway.  The  plaintiff  in 
her  complaint  says  that  on  May  5,  1 877,  Dr.  Henry 
B.  Millard,  of  No.  47  East  Twenty-flfth-street.  in 
this  City,  wrote  out  a  prescription  for  her. 
The  prescription  called  for  one-half  an  ounce 
of  atropine,  "  second  trituration."  It  seems 
that  there  are  two  scales  or  gauges  whereby  such 
mixtures  are  prepared  In  homeopathy.  One  of  these 
scales  is  known  as  the  decimal,  the  other  as  the  cen- 
tesimal scale.  The  plaintiff  says  the  rule  among 
pharmacists  is  not  to  use  the  decimal  scale  in  com- 
pounding prescriptions  unless  it  is  so  indicated  on 
the  pret»«iption  itself.  The  difference  tn  result  pro- 
duced by  the  two  methods  is  very  great,  triturations 
prepare  by  the  decimal  scale  being  exceedingly  more 
powerful  and  concentrated  than  those  prepared  by 
the  centesimal  scale.  The  plaintiff  says  her  pre- 
Bcriptioa  should  have  been  prepared  by  the  rentes- 
imal,  but  was  prepared  by  the  decimal  scale.  If 
put  up  oy  the  former,  the  dose  to  be 
taken  would  contain  the  one-thousandth  of  a 
grain  of  atropine,  bat  aa  It  was  put  up 
tho  close  waa  100  limes  as  powerful,  and  contained 
the  one-tenth  of  a  grain  of  the  drag.  The  plaintiff 
also  says  that  the  bottle  containing  the  compound 
should  have  been  labeled  so  as  to  indicate  the  name 
and  strength  of  the  drug,  and  that  the  word  '•poi- 
son "  should  have  been  plainly  written  or  printed  ou 
the  label.  Instead  of  this,  the  simple  word  "Atro- 
pine "  was  written  on  the  top  of  the  cork,  and  only 
that  word  appeared  ou  the  label.  After  obtaining 
the  mixture,  the  plaintiff  says  she  went  to  her  home 
in  Brooklyn,  and  took  a  dose  as  directed 
by  her  physician,  she  boliervlng  the  prescrip- 
tion to  nave  been  properly  compounded.  Al- 
most immediately  afterward,  she  says,  she  was 
taken  violently  sick.  Her  health  was  much  im* 
paired,  and  ber  constitution  was  injured.  She 
suffered  great  pain  and  was  "weakened  Id  body  and 
troubled  in  mind."  She  says  she  "was  subjected  to 
great  swelling  of  the  throat  and  touiiue  and  serious 
defect  of  vision."  Even  now  she  says  she  cannot 
read  longer  than  10  minutes  at  a  time.  She  ex- 
pended $200  for  medical  attendance,  and  asks  ^,000 
damages  from  the  defendant. 

The  latter,  in  answer,  says  that  the  only  thing 
called  for  on  the  prescription  was  the  "label  name" 
and  that  the  order  eaUed  for  the  trituration  by  the 
decimal  scale.  In  regard  to  not  putting  the  word 
"  Poison"  on  the  label,  the  defendant  says  he  is  not 
required  to  do  so  when  the  prescription  comes  from 
a  physician.  On  the  application  of  the  plaintiff. 
Judge  Van  Brunt  yesterday  directed  the  defendant 
tc  make  his  answer  more  definite  and  certain.

A  OONDUCfTOB  HELD  FOB  BIGAMY. 

Charles  Fuchs,  an  employe  on  the  Grand- 
Street  Cross-town  Boad,  was  arraigned  beforp  Justice 
Guck,  at  the  Fifth  District  Court,  Williamsburg,  yes- 
terday, on  charge  of  stealing  a  watch  from  Jolhis 
Sehletz,  of  No.  143  Montrosa^venue,  on  the  6th 
Inst.  Two  week  a^  Saturd|ky,  Fuchs  was  married  to 
the  complainant's  daughter,  by  Bev.  Father  Haupt- 
man,  of  the  Brooklyn  Church  of  the  Annunciation. 
On  the  Monday  following  he  took  the  bride  to  his 
apartments,  at  No.  500  Grand-street,  this  City,  and 
soon  after  his  departure  the  watch,  which  had  been 
hanging  in  the  bridal  chamber,  was  misseiL  By  some 
accident  Fuohs  did  not  understand  that  he  was  ar- 
rested on  charge  of  theft.  He  imagined  that  he  was 
before  the  court  on  charge  of  bigamy,  and  pleaded 
extenuating  circumstances.  In  thue  Summer  of  1873 
he  became  conductor  on  the  North  Second-Street 
Boad,  and  in  October  of  that  year  was  married  to 
Miss  Mary  Ann  Clerman,  by  Rev.  Father  Wageman, 
of  the  Kent-Street  (Greenpoint)  Church.  He  was 
then  known  as  Charles  Ferguson.  Last  Winter  he 
suddenly  disappeared,  leaving  his  wife  and  three 
children  destitute.  When  the  facts  were  communi- 
cated to  Mr.  Schietz,  he  withdrew  the  charge  of  theft 
and  substituted  one  of  bigamy.  Fuchs  was  held  in 
default  of  boiL 

JOSEPH  W.  TBV8T8  TWO  WIDOWS. 
Judge  Van  Hoesen,  in  the  Special  Term  of  the 
Court  of  Common  Pleas,  yesterday  rendered  a  deci- 
sion in  the  case  of  Andreas  H.  Goaroud  against  Con- 
stance C.  Trust  and  others.  The  suit  Is  one  of  those 
growing  out  of  the  complications  In  the  settlement  of 
the  estate  of  the  late  Joseph  W.  Trust,  aUas  Trust 
Felix  Qourand,  the  dealer  in  coametics.  The  plain- 
tiff seta  forth  that  Mary  F.  Trust .  was  the  wife  of 
Joseph  W.  Trust,  but  that  the  latter  had  been  for 
many  years  living  with  one  Martha  B.  Tomkins. 
Trust  in  his  lifetime  deeded  over  to  this  wonfkn 
Tomkins,  for  the  consideration  of  $5,  some  real 
estate-cm  Bast  Broadway,  aad  on  Fifth-avenue,  near 
One  Hundredth-street.  This  property  is  said  to  .be 
worth  at  least  $40,000.  Joseph  W.  Trust  also  trans- 
ferred to  h«r  aibout  $40,000  more  of  property,  eon- 
aistins  of  money,  trade  marks,  biQs,  stock,  &c  The 
transxeia  are  said  to  have  been  made  under  cordon, 
aad  by  the  exeieise  ot  ondne  influence  whUe  Trust 
was  enfeebled  in  body  and  mind  The  snitls  broii^t

and  claims  to  b«  the  *7idow  of  Tmst,  «at  in  a  de- 
murrer to  the  complsdzU  cm  the  grounds  ot  defect 
of  parties  and  ot  ixapropvr  joinder  of  causes  of  action, 
becanse  an  aotion  against  some  of  die  defendants  to 
set  aside  conveyances  for  fraud  was  joined  with  an 
action  for  itartitlon  against  other  defendants.  The 
pavtiea  to  the  action,  it  seems,  are  the  widow  and 
nei^  of  kin  of  the  late  Joseph  W.  Trust,  and  also 
Martha  B.  Tomkins,  as  well  as  two  other  persons 
named  Forfltt,  through  whom  the  transfers  of  prop- 
erty to  Martha  B.  Tomkins  were  made.  Judge 
Van  Hoesen  thinks  that  Martha  B.  Tomkins  and 
thePaifltts  were  improperly  mode  defendants  to  the 

Krtition  suit,  and  that  two  causes  of  action  have 
en  improperly  tinited  in  the  complaint.  Judgment 
on  the  demurrer  is  therefore  given  m  favor  of  llartha 
B,  Tovtkhia  and  the  Parfitts,  with  leave  to  the 
plaintiff,  however,  ^  amend  his  complaint  on  pay- 
ment of  costs.

He  alio  alleged  his  inability  to  psy  any  more  uimony.

contempt,  on  the  groimd  that  the  assignment  of  the 
defendfuit's  claim  was  a  settlement  of  alimony.

Firs  TEARS  IX  STATE  PRISOX. 
On  the  evening  of  July  26,  Michael  Healy,  a 
glass-polisher,  living  at  No.  23  Allen-street,  arrived 
at  the  Fulton  Perry-house  just  as  the  boat  was  mov- 
ing out.  Healy,  who  was  somewhat  imder  the 
influence  of  liquor,  attempted  to  jump  on  board,  but 
waa  prevented  by  a  bridgeman  named  Hiram  L. 
Meeker.  Enraged  at  the  Interference  of  the  latter, 
Healy  turned  on  him,  and  drawing  a  pocket-knife, 
stabbed  him  twice  In  the  face  and  left  shoulder,  in- 
flicting ugly  gRAhes.  Meeker's  asBailant  was  prompt- 
ly overpowered  and  handed  over  to  a  Police  officer, 
and  the  injured  man's  wounds  were  attended  to  at 
the  New- York  Hospital.  When  Healy  was  called 
np  for  trial  by  Assistant  District  Attorney 
Herring  yesterday  in  the  Court  of  General  Sessions, 
he  pleaded  giiiltv  by  adWce  of  his  counsel.  In  reply 
to  Juilge  Sutherland's  questions  the  accused  tried  to 
Justify  his  murderous  assault  by  stating  that  he  was 
drunk  and  had  been  severely  beaten  by  a  number  of 
Meeker's  fellow- workmen.  Judge  Sutherland  sent 
tho  prisoner  to  State  Prison  for  Ave  years. 

TWICE  ARRESTED  OX  EXECUTIOX. 
Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court,  Cham- 
bers, yesterday  granted  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus  in 
the  case  of  Peter  Zink,  who  is  in  Ludlow-Street  Jail 
tmder  on  execution  against  his  person  in  a  civil  suit 
brou^t  by  John  Shelly.  The  latter  accused  Zink  of 
conspiring,  with  others,  to  defraud  him  out  of 
$16,0O0.  Zluk  was  arrest«a  in  April,  1675.  and 
Judgment  was  obtained  against  him  by  default. 
After  being  confined  In  Jail  until  July  19,  1875, 
Zink  obtained  his  discharge  because  tne  Judgment 
against  htm  had  not  been  entered  within  30  days 
after  its  rendition.  On  a  reargumant,  however,  it 
was  shown  that  there  had  been,  by  consent,  an  ex- 
tension of  the  time  for  entering  the  Judgment,  and 
the  order  releasing  him  waa  vacated,  and  he  was  re- 
manded to  the  jail.  His  coimsel  now  claims  that 
Zink,  having  been  once  discharged,  could  not  beagain 
arrested  ou  the  execution.

A  FREE  FIGHT  BETWEEX  RELATIVES. 

During  a  dispute  bteween  John  Connell,  of 
No.  400  Tenth-avenue,  and  Thomas  Connell,  of  No. 
552  West  Thirty- second-street,  at  the  house  of 
tho  latter  on  Monday  night  with  Thomas  Connell's 
two  sJstersin-law,  they  attacked  one  of  the  women 
and  tried  to  choke  her.  Officer  De  Gau,  of  the 
Twelfth  Precinct,  who  was  passing  by,  heard  the 
woman's  screams  and  entered  the  house.  He  ordered 
the  men  to  desist  when  they  both  turned  noon  him 
and  beat  him  severely,  the  two  women,  in  whose 
behalf  the  officer  had  interfered,  ralljdng  to  their  aid.

conquering  his  assailants  and  arresting  the  two  Con- 
nells.  Ther  were  arraigned  yestrnday  morning 
before  Justice  Wandell,  in  Jefferson  Market  Police 
Court,  and  committed  for  trial  in  default  ot  $500 
bail  each. 

FOUR  TEARS  IX  THE  PEXITEXTIART. 

On  the  10th  of  August,  as  Patrick  Riley,  of 
No.  216  Sixth-street,  was  sitting  under  a  tree  at 
Buena  Vista  Grove,  One  Hundred  and  Thirty-eighth- 
'street  and  Mott-avenue,  he  was  attacked  by  two 
highwaymen,  who  struck  him,  threw  him  upon  the 

ground,  and  robbed  him  of  his  gold  studs,  sleeve- 
buttons,  a  pencil-case,  and  Slti  in  money.  Chie  of 
the  thieves  was  subsequently  arrested  by  Officer 
Nevins,  of  the  Mounted  Squad,  and  proved  to  be 
John  McLoughlin,  a  Mott  Haven  youth.  In  the 
Court  of  General  Sessions  yesterday,  when  Mo> 
Loughlin  waa  arraigned  for  robbery,  he  offered  a 
plea  of  guilty  of  petit  larceny  from  the  person,  which 
was  accepted  by  Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring. 
Judge  Sutherland  imposed  a  sentence  of  four  years 
in  the  Penitentiary.

THE  CAXSTATTER  FESTIVAL. 
The  festival  known  as  the  Canstatter.at  present 
in  progress  in  Hamilton  Park,  claims  to  go  back  to  a 
veryremote  antiquity  for  its  origin.  It  has  been  built 
up,  it  is  stated,  on  Suabian  customs,  but  as  it  looks  at 
present  it  might  pass  for  anything.  Originally  it 
appears  that  the  festival  was  commemorative  of  the 
natal  day  of  King  William  of  Wurtepiburg,  who  may 
have  been  a  very  goodly  potentate  in  his  time,  but 
whatever  the  main  intention  of  the  commemoration, 
it  has  beyond  doubt  a  great  many  blossoms  and  ofE- 
shoota  just  now.  It  is  a  fair,  a  harvest  home,  au  occa- 
sion for  the  consumptioa  of  much  lager,  for  all  modem 

rclaiatlona  in  the  nature  of  trapezes,  swings,  carousals, 
dancine.  music,  tawdrj-  proeossions,  and  infinite 
nonsense.  There  was  even  a  mai-riage  ceremony  in 
the  opening  portion  of  the  programme,  but  so  fax  tlie 
matter  does  not  appear  to  be  very  successful.  Ger- 
man enthusiasm  Is  not  yet  aroused;  but  perhsps  by 
and  by  the  festival  will  be  very  rollick- 
iug,  and  very  pleasant.  The  attendance  up 
to  the  present  has  been  sli^t,  but  the 
people  who  went  there  enjoyed  themselves  in  a 
quiet  way.  which  would  never  pass  current  on  the 
beach  at  Coney  Islaud.  The  prettiest  thlug  in  con- 
nection with  the  affair  is  a  column  some  38  feet 
high,  constructed  out  of  fruits  and  vegetables, 
that  is  to  sav,  the  outer  surface  has  a 
vegetable  seeming,  but  the  Inner  structure  is 
of  solid  timber.  The  column  is,  however, 
very  cleverly  designed,  and  pumpkius,  pears,  apples, 
potatoes,  cabbages,  com,  carrots,  and  all  the  etcttt- 
eras  uf  the  garden  ore  grouped  with  excellent  artistic 
skill.  Som'^how  or  another  this  festival  cduuects 
itself  with  the  University  of  Tubingen,  which,  it  ap- 
poars.  has  an  antiquity  of  -100  years,  and  yesterday  s 
procedure  had  some  fantastio  kinship  with  that  ven- 
erable academic  institution.  There  were  great  pre- 
tenses of  pursuivants,  students,  lance-bearers,  coun- 
cilors, citizens  peasants,  professors,  and  a  miscel- 
laneous tag-rag  and  bob-tail — all  perfectly  harmless. 
The  saloon  in  the  park  was  given  over  to  dancing 
during  the  day,  and  the  dancing  was  done  chiedy  by 
the  ladies. 


A  BATTLE  IX  THE  SEA. 
An  exciting  incident  is  rejwrted  to  have  oc- 
curred on  Monday  last  off  Fire  Island.  It  appears 
that  the  yacht  T.  B.  Asten,  of  the  'Olj-mpic  Club,  of 
Bay  Shore,  Long  Island,  encountered  a  sword-fish 
and  a  sbaric  the  largest  seen  there  for  years,  engaged 
in  battle.  Mr.  John  P.  Smith,  of  this  Citv,  who  was 
oboj-rd  the  yacht,  selied  a  boat-liook  and  thrust  It 
into  the  side  of  the  shark.  Dr.  ^Valter  M.  Fleming, 
of  No.  43  West  Thirty -first-street '  grasped  the  end 
of  the  staff  to  assist  Mr.  Smith,  when  suddenly  the 
fishes  plunged  downward,  and  both  men  were  pulled 
overboard.  The  sword-fish  drew  his  sword  from  the 
body  of  the  shark,  where  he  had  thrust  It,  and  darted 
tmder  the  keel  of  the  boat.  There  was  much  excite- 
ment at  the  possible  prospect  of  an  attack  upon  the 
men,  but  they  were  finally  hauled  on  board.  Pres- 
ently the  t'onflict  was  renewed,  and  the  shark  killed. 
There  worp  ou  board  the  yacht  the  Commodore  and 
members  of  the  club,  and  a  number  of  visitors  from 
New- York,  inclutUng  Messrs.  Richard  P.  Moore  and 
Andrew  J.  Dam,  of  the  Astor  House. 

SWIMUIXO  MATCH  AT  LOXG  BEAXCR. 

The  swimming  match  between  James  Cun- 
ningham, of  Long-  Branch,  and  George  Wade,  of 
Brooklyn,  over  a  distance  of  three  miles  in  the  ocean, 
will  take  place  tomorrow  afternoon  at  Long  Branch, 
in  front  of  the  Manslon-Hotise.  The  men  will  be 
taken  out  in  surf-boats,  and  will  jump  off  three 
miles  from  shore  ;  the  ono  r^hing  shore  first  yr\}X 
receive  the  stakes,  $500,  which  are  In  the  hands  of 
Mr.  Frank  Green.  The  contestants  are  In  daily  prac- 
tice, and  large  crowds  line  the  beach  to  witness 
them.  Wade  last  week  swam  against  Coyle  at  Phil- 
adelphia, a  distance  of  four  miles,  winning  by  two 
and  a  hifdf  minutes.  Cunningham  is  a  great  surf 
swimmer,  and  has  on  several  ocoaslons  rescued  ]>er- 
sons  &om  drowning. 

CITY  HALL  XOTES. 

Proposals  for  building  a  bridge  over  the 
Hariem  River  from  Madison-avenue  and  One 
Hundred  and  Tliirtr-ninth-street  are  to  be  opened 
on  the  17th  September. 

Messrs.  Lewis,  Slevin,  and  Cowing,  the  Alder- 
manic  committee  who  were  appointed  to  investigate 
the  affairs  of  the  " Tweed  Ring."  met  yesterday  in 
the  chamber  of  the  Common  CounciL  Only  a  few 
persons  were  present.  Mr.  Lewis  presided.  A 
resolution  was  adopted  directing  Mr.  Hugh  L 
Cole,  the  counsel  who  was  assijpied  by  the  Law 
Department  to  assist  the  investigation,  to  "  report  to 
the  committee  whether  Willlara  51.  TVeed  can  be 
compelled  to  appear  and  testify,  and  if  so,  what  are 
the  most  appropriate  meastires  to  be  taken  for  th.it 
end."  The  coinmlttee  then  adjourned  untal  the  ^Oth 
lust. 

It  is  understood  that  the  committee  of  tho 
Independent  Democracy  who  were  selected  to  ascer- 
tain whether  some  of  the  present  Tammai^  Alder- 
men were  connected  with  the  Tweed  Ring  will  meet 
about  the  same  time. 

The  ordinance  proposed  by  Alderman  Morris 
in  the  Common  Council,  prohibiting  street  venders 
from  blowing  horns  and  ringing  bells,  is  now  before  a 
committee,  who  will  probably  report  In  favor  of  its 
adoption.  Another  ordinance,  which  was  passed  in 
18/5,  is  likely  to  be  taken  advantage  of  by  persons 
who  cannot  sleep  at  night  on  account  of  the  howling 
of  dogs.  It  provides  that  any  Police  Justice,  upon 
tlie  complaint  of  two  respectable  citii^ns.  may  onler 
the  kilMTtg  of  any  such  animals  after  notifying  the 
party  or  parties  who  may  refuse  to  aliata  the  nuis- 
ance. .  ^ 

THE  RIVERS'  DEAD. 

The  remains  of  an  unknown  man,  apparently 
about  30  years  of  age,  were  fotmd  yesterday  fioating 
in  the  North  River,  at  Pier  No.  35,  and  were  re- 
moved to  the  Morgue  for  identification. 

The  body  of  Thomas  Harvey,  aged  6  years,  who 
was  ^rovnied  while  bathing  at  the  foot  of  Twenty-

Onr  friends  in  the  interior  af  the  State 
Tjave  been  devoting  gome  attention  to  the 
■chances  of  the  Fall  campaign.  The  latest 
jtable  of  majorities  which  we  have  seen  as- 
Isumea  that  north  of  the  Harlem  Kiver  the 
^Eepnblicana  will  have  a,  majority  of  about 
'48,000  votes.  Tf  the  coimtry  can  make 
BO  good  a  showing  as  that,  there  need  be  no 
dispute  about  the  results  of  the  campaign. 
Kltoly  the  grossest  treachery  or  the  most 
Sdiotle  party  management  can  give  the 
tDemoerats  ia  New- York  and  Kings  even  so 
large  ^a  majority  as  they  obtained  in  1875, 
and  we  observe  that  the  tables  of  probabili- 
ties fare  constructed  on  that  basis.  For, 
Jn  .  that-  year,  the  local  opposition 
to  Jling  Democracy  did  not  extend  beyond 
th/>  County  ticket.  This  year  it  will,  almost 
ce  rtainly,  affect  the  State  ticket  as  well. 
Let  sectional  "  claims  "  for  once  give  way 
/.o  the  necessity  of  making  thoroughly  popu- 
lar nominations  for  State  officers  and  an 
Eiceptionally  strong  nomination  for  Attor- 
ney-General, and  we  shall  answer  for  it  that 
ihe  Democratic  majority  in  Xew-York  and 
Brooklyn  will  be  reduced  to  a  figure  unex- 
ampled since  that  of  1872.  . 


■  Taere  are  two  rather  noticeable  features 
fcbout  the  Democratic  Convention  at  Harris- 
.■brirg.  One  is  that  the  belief  in  the  victory 
o-f  the  party  candidates  has  had  the  effect  of 
^•isibly  improving  the  character  and  ability 
of  the  delegates,  and  the  other  is  that  the 
suereteuspicion  of  a  candidate  being  "  the 
employe  or  servant  of  a  corporation"  is  suiS-t 
cient  to  destroy  his  chances  of  a  nomination. 
As.»  party  politics  are  merely  a  means  to 
the  end  of  good  government,  neither  re- 
sult can  be  regarded  as  a  misfortune. 
We  believe  that  the  Democrats  are  mis- 
taken in  the  assumption  that  even  in  a 
State  like  Pennsylvania  the  policy  of  the 
Admicaistration  will  seriously  weaken  the  Re- 
publican organization  or  materially  lessen 
the  Republican  vote,  but  the  fact  that  such 
an  idea  is  acted  upon  ought  to  furnish;  a 
new  guarantee  for  Republican  energy  and 
watchfulness.  The  jealousy  of  corporate 
influence  in  snch  a  State  is  a  very  health- 
tal  sign,  and,  however  contemptible  may  be 
tJie  motives  which  prompt  it,  such  a  feeling 
Jean  hardlyfail  to  be  productive  of  the  most 
desirable-results.  The  Democrats  will  put 
a  strong -ticket  in  the  fieldjand  if  the  Re- 
publicans cannot  matclfiiBy  a  stronger, 
•they  richly  deserve  to  tfe  beaten. 


There  has  been  a  good  deal  of  captious 
criticism  in  regard  to  the  assnmed  lack  of 
exaculive  abUity  on  the  part  of  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Interior.  Mr.  Schubz  has  fur- 
luahed  one  of  the  best  possible  proofs  that 
he  is  equal  to  the  demands  of  his  position 
\>y  devising  the  means  of  patting  a  stop  to 
the  stealing  of  timber  from  Government 
lands.  That  is  a  problem  which  a  good 
many  of  the  private  owners  of  vahiable 
pine  lands  have  given  up  in  despair,  and 
any  govenmient  oMoer  who  is  able  to 
cheek  •  form  of  thieving  which  is  at 
onoe  ;  very  costly,  and  very  diffienlt 
<if  detection  cannot  be  aeoused  of  any  want 
of  vigilance  or  of  inge&oity.  The  Qovem- 
hnent  has  imqaestionably  lost  millions  of 
doUcrs  by  the  illegal 'catting  of  timber  on 
the  lands  in.  ita  poaBe8sia>a,_-aii4  it.inll  lose 
~'      iaMnaidailtiM.pttUd^af~dii- 


It  is  Bnssia's  misfortane  that  all  her 
really  sound  strategic  movements  in  the 
present  war  have  been  made  too  late.  The 
concentration  of  force  now  making  aroond 
Biela  and  Timova  would  have  turned  the 
scale  if  brought  to  bear  upon  Plevna  three 
weeks  a^o.  The  skillfal  flank  movement  of 
the  Fourth  Cavalry  Division,  now  in 
progress)  would  have  been  exeeuted  at  least 
a  month  earlier  by  VoN  Moltke  or  his  pu- 
pils of  the  Franco-German  war.  This  latter 
enterprise,  indeed,  is  a  literal  "  wager  of 
battle ;"  for  it  has  no  choice  between  com- 
plete success  and  utter  destraotion.  A 
glance  at  the  map  of  Bulgaria  will  suffice  to 
explain  its  object.  Osman  Pasha's  Army, 
ocoapying  a  strongly  intrenched  position  in 
front  of  the  town  of  Plevna,  and  thence  in 
echelon  to  Lovatz  and  Selvi,  is  drawing  its 
supplies  from  the  hitherto  untouo&ed  re- 
gions of  the  south-west,  along  the  highway 
which,  running  north-eastward  from  Sophia, 
crosses  the  Balkan  by  the  Oehordik  (Orkho- 
dyk)  Pass,  and  strikes  into  the  Selvi-Plevna 
road  at  Lovatz,  [(Loftcha.)  The  Russians, 
knowing  by  bitfer  experience  the  strength 
of  the  lines  which' they  have  twice  assailed 
in  vain,  are  now  throwing  their  cavalry  upon 
this  vitally  important  route,  in  the  hope  of 
forcing  their  enemy  to  quit  his  intrench- 
ments,  and  either  fall  back  or  encounter 
them  at  a  disadvantaire.  The  Russian  cavalry 
appear  to  be  unsupported  in  their  perilous 
expedition,  which,  if  unsuccessful,  may 
very  possibly  end  in  their  being  cut  off  to  a 
man.  On  the  other  hand,  should  they  suc- 
ceed in  seizing  and  holding  the  Oehordik 
Pass,  OsMAN  Pasha,  with  his  supplies  al- 
ready running  short,  and  a  force  of  double 
his  own  number  ready  to  ponnce  upon  him 
the  moment  he  quits  his  lines,  will  fiiid  hi;n- 
self  placed  in  a  very  critical  situation. 


The  rapid  transformation  of  Washing- 
ton Market  into  a  Tammany  preserve  is 
worthy,  of  attention  on  more  grounds 
than  one.  For  instance,  one  of  the  first 
acts  of  Controller  KELt.T  was  to  remove 
Thomas  F.  Devoe  from  the  position  of 
Market  Superintendent,  and  to  replace 
him  by  Joshua  M.  Varian.  One  of  his 
latest  acts  was  to  remove  John  N.  CornelIi 
from  the  position  of  Market  Clerk  to  make 
way  for  John  Keenan.  That  is  to  say,  two 
men,  who  were  appointed  by  Controller 
Green  because  of  their  long  and  intimate 
practical  acquaintance  with  the  business 
which  they  had  to  superintend,  were  re- 
moved to  give  place  to  two  Tammany  politi- 
cians, chiefly  identified  with  the  business  of 
selling  and  consuming  rum.  But  there  is 
one  EDW.iRD  Kearney  who  has  the  con- 
tract for  supplying  the  City  institutions 
with  meat,  and  whose  chances  of  making 
money  are  in  proportion  to  his  success 
in  pickuig  up  unsalable  beef  in  the 
markets.  A'  vigilant  Superintendent 
might  interfere  with  Mr.  Kearney's 
profits,  and  it  is  hardly  surprising, 
therefore,  to  find  that  Kearney  was  one  of 
the  bondsmen  of  Superintendent  Varian. 
Devoe  was  evidently  in  the  way  of  Kear- 
ney, and  was  promptly  removed  accord- 
ingly. Cornell  was  probably  in  his  way, 
too,  since  Keenan  has  been  induced  to 
divide  his  attention  between  his  two  liquor 
stores  and  the  clerkship  of  Washington 
Market.. 


THE  OUTLOOK  FOB  TRADE. 

We  give  this  morning  in  our  news^olumns 
an  extended  report  of  tits  views  entertained 
by  business  men  in  various  branches  con- 
cerning the  prospects  of  Fall  trade.  The 
ground  covered  is  considerable,  and  we  be- 
lieve that  the  review  fairly  reflects  the 
opinions  of  the  best  informed  and  most 
trustworthy  authorities  in  this  City.  It  will 
be  seen  that  thejaitkroSs,  on  the  whole,  en- 
couraging. Th4re  is  (no  general  elation, 
and  no  expectation  of  the  sudden  return 
of  large  busines^aiKl  great  profits,  but  there 
is  an  almost  universal  anticipation  that  a 
healthybusiness  will  be  done  ;  that  reason- 
able gains  will  be  possible,  and  that  the  im- 
provement will  be  steady  and  enduring. 
This  view  is  ba.sed  on  a  comparison  of  trade 
actually  donq  in  the  principal  lines  with 
that  which  was  done  a  year  ago,  and 
there  is  no  room  for  doubt  that 
substantial  progress  has  been  made. 
It  is  noticeable  that,  while  the 
gentlemen  who  amuse  themselves  on  Wall- 
street  with  an  expensive  adaptation  of  the 
ehildish  sport  of  kite-flying  have  gone  wild 
over  the  notion  that  the  speculative  times 
which  prevailed  before  1873  are  about  to 
dawn  again,  the  solid  business  men  of  the 
City,  whose  occupation  is  actual  buying  and 
selling,  and  not  mere  gambling,  are  not  mis- 
led by  any  such  delusion.  They  do  not  expect, 
and  the  best  of  them  are  far  from  desiring, 
the  return  of  those  times.  They  prefer  the 
steady  flow  of  business  which  comes  from  a 
rational  attempt  to  complete  genuine  ex- 
changes between  producers  and  consumers 
to  that  harum-scarum  pursuit  of  every  will 
o'  the  wisp  which  appears  in  the  distance — 
the  continual  fostering  of  unfounded  specu- 
lations in  which  some  fortunes  .may  be 
made,  but  by  which  many  fortunes  must  in 
the  long  run  be  lost. 

It  is  generally  agreed  that  in  all  the 
principal  departments  of  trade  methods  and 
plans  have  changed  materially  since  the 
panic,  and  have  become  more  suited  to  the 
transaction  of  safe  and  legitimate  traffic. 
Retailers',  whose  habits,  views,  and  inclina- 
tions must  largely  Control  those  of  jobbers 
and  wholesale  dealers,  since  the  former  are 
nearer  the  consumer  than  the  latter,  show 
this  tendency  in  a  marked  degree.  Retail- 
ers buy  less  at  a  time  and  more  closely  ; 
they  do  not  care  to  lay  in  large  stocks,  or 
too  great  varieties,  and  are  cautious  regard- 
ing "  fancy"  lines  of  purchase.  They  are 
content  to  buy  "  from  hand  to  mouth,"  and 
the  immense  improvement  in  means  of 
communication  and  transportation,  and  the 
extension  of  the  custom  of  "  drumming," 
which  sends  samples  to  every  retailer's  door 
where  samples  can  be  carried,  facilitates 
this  mode  of  doing  boaineas.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  is  farther  helped 
along  by  the  wholesalers'  increase  of  caution 
in  giving  credit,  and  by  the  tendency  to 
shorten  the  term  for  which  credit  is  given. 
In  this  regard'  ther»  has  been  a  marked 
change  since  1873.  But  it  has  not  gone  so 
far  as  it  might  safely  and  profitably  be  car- 
ried. It  is  not  easy  to  make  generaliza- 
tions in  regard  to  qneations  so  delicate  and 
complex  as  those  of  bosiness,  but  we  be- 
lieve that  the  most  oooservstive  and  most 
■ueeeasfnl  boaineaj)  men  are  agreed,t^t  the 
nd^teez^dittfiiuiliel^tu^ttoi&tislmown 


as  "ca<h"— that- is  to  payment  after  • 
reasonable  time  is  allowed  for  the  receipt 
and  inspectaota  of  goods — ^the  better  it  wiU 
be  for  all  parties  ooncemed.  The  evils  of 
over-produetian,  ttam  which  we  are  now 
suffering  could  not  exist,  or  oonld  exist  only 
in  a  Very  much  modified  form,  if  oonsnmers 
and  retail  dealers  were  not  constantly 
pushed  to  buy  what  they  cannot  promptly 
pay  for. 

There  is,  corresponding  to  the  tendency 
to  make  careful  purchases  and  to  care  in 
giving  credits,  a  tendency  to  confine  opera- 
tions to  staple  articles,  to  make  moderate 
ventures,  and  to  avoid  excessive  irregulari- 
ties in  prices.  These  are  all  healthy  signs. 
It  was  inevitable  that  trade  should  conform 
itself  ta  the  conditions  imposed  by  the 
'times,  and  these  are  indications  that  it  is 
doing  so.  There  is  no  danger  whatever 
that  Americans,  or  the  vast  multitude 
of  foreign-bom  business  men  who 
are  attracted  to  our.  shores,  will  fail  in  en- 
terprise, or  energy,  or  disposition  to  push 
their  ventures  in  every  channel  that  is 
opened  or  can  be  opened.  Whatever  re- 
straint may  be  imposed  upon  them,  their  in- 
domitable spirit  cannot  be  repressed.  Rest- 
less an^  inquiring,  their  eager  faculties  are 
constantly  strained  to  the  utmost  to  catch 
the  firstgUmpse  of  possible  profit  andtosieze 
every  means  to  realize  it.  What  they 
have  suffered  from  in  the  past  is  the 
tendency  to  overleap  the  bounds  of  pru- 
dence, to  take  risks  that  the  facts  with 
which  they  were  dealing  did  not  warrant, 
and  to  waste  their  resources  and  rain 
their  credit  in  trying  to  do  too  much. 
The  necessity  of  getting  on  with  less 
lavish  credit,  of  moving  more  slowly  in 
order  to  keep  the  solid  ground  under 
their  feet,  will  do  them  no  harm.  It  is 
one  of  the  most  encouraging  features  of 
the  situation,  as  shown  by  the  inquiries 
of  our  reporters,  that  the  conservative 
methods,  a  more  prudent  spirit,  a  firmer 
resolution  to  be  content  with  smaller 
gains,  and  less  risks,  are  beginning  to 
prevailv 

Although,  as  will  be  seen  by  readers  of 
the  review  to  which  we  have  referred,  a 
great  deal  of  dependence  is  placed  by  busi- 
ness men  in  all  branches  upon  the  market- 
ing of  the  large  grain  crop  with  which  the 
country  is  blessed,  yet  there  are  signs  of  a 
genuine  improvement,  apparently  inde- 
pendent in  a  great  degree  of  this  an- 
ticipation. In  the  clothing  trade,  for 
instance,  the  hopes  of  dealers  are  'based 
on  the  actual  demand,  on  their  abili^  to 
produce  goods  at  moderate  cost,  on  the 
traction  of  low  prices,  and  on  the  improve- 
ment in  the  quality  and  popularity  of 
domestic  cloths.  In  the  carpet  trade  a 
somewhat  similar  state  of  things  exists. 
There  is  an  unquestioned  improvement  in 
the  quality  of  American  manufac- 
tures, and  the  dealers  note  the  ap- 
pearance in  the  market  of  an  increased 
number  of  ■  sound  Southern  buyers. 
In  the  hat  trade,  improvements  in  ma- 
chinery have  led  to  an  increased  demand 
and  to  moderate  prices,  tending  to  keep  up 
this  demand,  in  spite  of  serious  embarrass- 
ment from  our  so-called  "protective" 
tariff.  In  the  shoe  trade  there  is  a  decided 
gain  in  the  morb  stable  relations  with 
workmen.  In  the  cigar  and  tobacco 
trade  and  in  the  wine  trade  there  is  a  grow- 
ing demand  arising  from  a  steady 
improvement  in  the  character  of  the 
product.  We  have  heretofore  pointed  out 
what  we  considered  the  reasonable  antieir 
pations  to  be  entertained  regarding  our 
grain  trade.  They  are  not  such  as  to 
justify  speculation,  but  they  are  decidedly 
encouraging.  It  is  pleasant  to  be  able  to 
record  a  generally  cheerful  view  of  the 
question  of  the  immediate  future  of  trade 
apart  from  this  important  factor  in  it. 


A  RASH  SOUTHl^NER. 

To  the  ordinary  observer  of  political  events 
the  appointment  of  Postmaster-General 
Key  seemed  to  be  a  very  good  thing.  Mr. 
Key  is  what  may  be  called  a  representative 
Southerner.  If  there  is  any  respect  in 
which  he  fails  to  answer  this  description  it 
is  that  he  is  better  than  the  average 
Southern  man.  He  is  not  a  swash-buckler, 
nor  a  vaporcr,  nor  a  bragging  coward.  But 
Mr.  Key  was  an  original  secessionist,  a 
State  rights  man,  and  a  candidate  for  the 
United  States  Senate  on  a  platform  of  the 
principles  which  are  dear  to  the  Southern 
mind.  As  a  rebel  he  was  un- 
compromising. As  a  Democrat  he  was 
firm  in  the  faith.  Kevertheless,  he  accepted 
a  place  in  the  Cabinet  of  a  Republican 
Northern-bom  President.  At  this,  some  of 
the  Southern  people  murmured.  It  was 
thought  a  strange  thing,  to  begin  with,  that 
a  Republican  President  should  go  outside  of 
his  party  to  choose  men  to  put  into  his  coun- 
cil of  advisers.-  Republicans  grumbled  at 
it.  The  Democrats,  especially  the  South- 
em  Democrats,  were  appalled  at  first,  and 
profoundly  indignant  afterward.  No  South- 
em  Democrat,  in  the  full  possession  of  his 
faculties,  would  have  accepted  the  place. 

At  Bennington,  Vt.,  the  other  day,  the 
Postmaster-General  made  a  speech,  in  the 
course  of  which  he  used  the  phrase  "  erring 
brethren,"  as  applied  to.  Southern  rebels,  of 
whom  he  was  one.  If  any  man  has  a  right 
to  characterize  the  rebels,  or  ex-rebels,  of 
the  South  in  fitting  terms,  Mr.  Key  certainly 
has  that  right.  A  rebel  of  the  rebels,  a 
Democrat  of  the  Democracy,  Southern  bom 
and  bred,  and  at  one  time  a  chosen  repre- 
sentative of  a  considerable  constituency, 
Mr.  Key  may  be  said  to  be  a  fair  type 
of  a  certain  subdivision  of  the  American 
people.  His  Bennington  speech,  which 
was  good-hnmored  and  jocular,  has 
thrown  the  talkative  South  into  hysterics. 
One  says  that  this  is  eating  too  much  huinble 
pie.  Another  thinks  that  it  is  groveling  in 
the  dust  in  a  perfunctory  and  unnecessary 
manner.  Still  another  says,  "  Erring  be 
hanged  I  Southerners  will  not  be  the  brethren 
of  any  living  people  on  such  terms.  They 
do  not  admit  that  they  erred."  That  is  to  say, 
thelrost  Cause  is  still  a  righteous  one,  and  is 
only  held  in  abeyance  antU  more  propitious 
days.  For,  if  it  be  right  and  righteous,  its 
disaster  can  be  only  temporary.  Says  this 
incorrigible :  "  If  we  are  to  be  brothers,  you 
must  admit  that  we  were  right  in  the  rebel- 
Uon." 

According  to  these  bellicose  and  exceed- 
ingly high-spirited  gentry,  it  is  necessary 
that  the  facts  of  history  should  be  prefaced 
by  an  apology.  Referring  to  the  late  war, 
we  should  not  only  say  that  both  sides,  es- 
pecially tike  Southern,  f ought  with  such 
braves  as  onljr  Affianeans  ever  can  «vinef(, 
bit twetreurfts.uVi^^'oVer  whiih  min hu. 


no  control  determined  the  issue  as  it  was 
determined.  Superior  numbers,  fortuitous 
occurrences,  and  a  variety  of  accidents, 
which  reflect  discredit  on  nobody,  led  to 
the  result  which  we  refer  to  in  the  most 
guarded  terms.  We  have  been  apologizing 
in  this  magnanimous  way  for  years.  It  is 
very  much  as  if  a  Calvinist  preacher  should 
say :  "  My  hearers,  I  regret  to  inform  you 
that  there  is  a  hell.  I  apologize  to  yon  for 
mentioning  it.  I  am  not  responsible  for  its 
invention  and  existence.  But,  such  as  it  is, 
I  am  boimd4o  fting  it  to  your  notice  in  the 
most  unobjectionable  and  gentlemanly 
way."  Men  despise  such  a  sneak.  But  it 
seems  to  be  expected  that  we  shall  refer  to 
the  war  of  the  rebellion  in  some  such  terms 
as  thes?.  And  when  Mr.  Key,  or  anybody 
else,  presumes  to  say  that  the  rebellion  was 
a  failure,  and  that  the  men  who  participated 
in  it  were  erring  or  misguided,  tiiere  is  a 
howl  of  mingled  rage  and  disgust. 

It  is  settled,  then,  that  a  man  who  admits 
that  the  rebels  erred  is  not  a  representative 
Southerner.  He isa  " trick-mule," ora  " dirt- 
eater."  But  a  representative  Southerner 
does  not  concede  that  he  or  his  lost  cause 
was,  or  could  be,  possibly  wrong.  He  and 
the  cause  were  right  then  and  now.  The 
contest  is  temporarily  adjourned.  During 
this  adjournment,  which  is  a  sort  of  truce, 
the  irreconcilables  will  come  in  for  an  ap- 
propriation and  a  lion's  share  of  what- 
ever the  lately-despised  Unele  Sam 
may  have  to  distribute.  But,  first, 
last,  and  all  the  time,  it  must 
be  distinctly  understood  that  the  Southern 
man  who  admits  that  the  rebellion  was 
wrong  and  a  failure  ceases  to  be  worthy  to 
be  called  a  son  of  the  South.  In  this  cate- 
gory we  find  Mr.  Key,  and  he  is  accordingly 
derided  and  contemned.  It  was  treacherj- 
to  the  South,  the  Democratic  South,  that 
he  should  be  willing  to  assume  charge  of 
the  United  States  postal  service  in  the  Ad- 
ministration of  a  Republican  President.  It 
is  infamous  that  he  should  admit  that  as  a 
rebel  he  was  on  the  wrong  side. 

It  is  impossible  to  say  how  far  Mr.  Key, 
or  the  silly  newspapers  who  fling  their  bad 
language  at  him,  truly  represent  the  South- 
em  people.  We  should  prefer  to  believe 
that  the  Postmaster-General,  who  is  admit- 
ted to  be  a  good  officer,  and  a  sensible  and 
honest  man,  is  a  real  representative  of 
the  South.  If  we  of  the  North  had  not  be- 
lieved that  the  rebels  were  erring,  we  should 
not  have  gone   to  war  with  them.     If  Mr. 

Y  were  not  a  repentant  rebel,  he 
ould,,,  not-  now  admit  that  there  ever 
was  any  erring  in  their  course,  as  he 
does  admit.  Therefore,  as  soon  as  he  makes 
that  admission,  he  is,  in  the  estimation  of 
the  irreconcilables,  a  pervert  from  the 
faith.  Believing  as  we  do  that  the  irrecon- 
cilables do  not  constitute  the  better  portion 
of  the  South,  we  can  afford  to  be  amused 
by  their  fantasies.  It  is  tiresome  to  be  con- 
tinually reproached  with  being  insulting 
when  we  have  tried  to  put  ugly  and  stub- 
bom  facts  out  of  sight.  But  we  have  learned 
to  be  forbearing  with  spoiled  children,  and 
to  endure  their  childish  ill-nature  without 
retort  in  kind. 


rOL  UXTEERS  AMD  REG  ULARS IX  THE 
IXDIAX  WAR. 

That  Gov.  Potts  should  boil  over  with 
zeal  to  enlist  Montana  volunteers  for  Jo- 
seph's war,  and  that  Gen.  Sheridan  should 
check  the  effervescence  of  Potts  by  refus- 
ing to  indorse  his  scheme,  are  matters  easy  to 
understand.  Did  the  Montana  cry  for  volun- 
teers spring  from  necessity  it  would  no  doubt 
be  answered  as  promptly  as  the  like  cry  of 
Washington  Territory  and  Oregon  six  weeks 
ago.  Bat  it  is  a  threewlbare  story  that  no 
sooner  does  an  Indian  outbreak  occur  than 
the  neighborhood  instantly  demands  volun- 
teer troops — the  demand  partly  arising  from 
panic,  and  partly  from  the  notion  of  settlers 
that  they  can  fight  Indians  better  than  the 
Army  can.  Immediately  on  the  rising  of 
Joseph's  band  a  panic  reigned  in  Oregon, 

Washington  Territory,  and  Idaho.  Of 
course,  it  is  not  for  the  peaceful  Atlantic 
sea-board  to  deride  the  exaggerations  of 
danger  that  prevail  in  those  Western  wilds, 
where  all  that  a  settler  hold»  dear  may  be 
swept  off  in  an  hour  by  savages.  We  only 
mean  to  point  out  that  this  natural  panic  is 
not  the  best  guide  for  deciding  on  the  ex- 
pediency of  raising  volunteers.  When 
the  Nez  Percys  took  the  war  path, 
it  was  reported  that  the  Spokanes, 
the  Umatillas,  the  Tokamas,  and  at  least 
half  a  dozen  other  tribes  of  Indians  were 
with  them,  and  that,  as  one  Oregon  dispatch 
said,  "  the  country  is  in  the  hands  of  the 
savages."  Lewiston  itself  was  fortifying 
against  a  night  att-ack  from  Joseph  at  the 
very  time  that  he  was  hurrying  away  from 
that  point  in  great  fear  of  being  overtaken. 
And  it  was  precisely  at  that  date  that  the 
Lewiston  dispatches  declared  that  "  volun- 
teer cavalry  in  large  force  should  be  put 
in  the  field  to  reinforce  Gen.  Howard  and 
stop  this  uprising.  Such  a  force  would  do 
the  work,  as  it  would  be  familiar  with  the 
country  and  with  Indians.  The  alarm  spreads 
dismay  through  the  whole  country  ;  there  is 
imminent  danger  along  the  borders,  and 
business  will  be  suddenly  paralyzed."  Thus, 
with  perfect  ignorance  of  the  nature  and 
extent  of  the  peril,  (for,  as  we  have  said, 
Joseph  was  already  making  his  way  off  from 
the  settlements  to  the  uninhabited  regions 
where  he  has  ever  since  been, )  the  people 
are  crying  out  for  volunteers  lest  all  busi- 
ness should  be  paralyzed. 

Again,  we  must  all  remember,  that  when 
Col.  Perry  was  so  roughly  handled  o^  his 
way  to  the  Cottonwood  with  a  small  party  of 
troops,  early  in  July,  a  story  spread  that 
he  had  "  neglected  seventeen  volunteers" 
who  were  anxious  to  help  him.  The  report 
was  hurried,  with  great  local  indignation,  to 
Gen.  Howard,  before  Perey  could  be 
heard  from,  and  when  the  charge  was  inves- 
tigated it  was  found  that  there  was  noth- 
ing in  it.  There  is,  in  short, 
an  invariable  fear  among  the  settlers,  on 
any  Indian  outbreak,  that  the  regular  troops 
will  not  be  strong  enough  or  prompt  enough 
to  defend  life  and  property,  and  accordingly 
they  cry  out  for  volunteers.  Besides,  the  en- 
listment of  volunteers  will  distribute  wages 
and  rations,  and,  above  all,  contracts  for 
local  traders  to  furnish  supplies.  The  Gov- 
ernors, always  looking  for  local  popularity, 
observe  that  they  can  make  no  mistake  in 
that  direction  by  urging  volunteer  enlist- 
ments, the  whole  expense  of  which  will  fall 
on  the  United  States  Government,  whereas 
they  might  lose  popularity  by  not  urging 
them-  Gtov.  Perry  did  not  even  wait  for 
full  authorization  after  Joseph's  rising, 
bat,  aocDij^sg.  to  _the  reports,  at  once  took 
with 'him  to  "KtSsk  'Walia'  ums  aaA.  uomu-  . 


nition  for  200  volunteers,  and  announced 
his  readiness  to  raise  two  companies  forth- 
with. Shebidan,  of  coarse,  looks  on  this 
business  in  a  totally  different  way.  He  f or- 
sees  that  the  employment  of  volunteers  will 
be  ingeniously  twisted  into  a  reproach 
against  the  Army  when  the  annual  appro- 
priation bill  comes  up  in  Congress  next 
Winter,  and  he  is  disposed  to  make  that  re- 
proach as  small  as  possible.  Knowing 
Joseph's  force  and  Joseph's  possibilities, 
he  saw  no  need  of  more  volunteers  than  are 
in  service  now,  and  hence  discountenanced 
the  Montana  contingent  which  Gov.  Potts 
proposed. 

As  to  whether  volimteer  or  regular  organ- 
izations are  better  for  fighting  Indians,  we 
fancy  that  there  is  little  real  doubt.  It  is 
true  that  after  the  war  of  secession  there 
was  an  unfavorable  reaction  in  the  condi- 
tion of  the  Army.  There  was  a  general 
breaking  up  of  its  former  organization  and 
a  great  deal  of  experiment  in  securing  a 
new  one  ;  above  all,  there  was  a  large  in- 
flux of  an  imsteady  element  from  the  old 
volimteers,  both  of  rank  and  file.  The  dis- 
cipline and  the  monotony  of  the  regular  ser- 
vice did  not  suit  many  ex-volunteers,  who 
had  fancied  they  could  settle  down  per- 
manently to  -the  soldiers  profession  ;  de- 
sertions increased  enormously  ;  and  the  dis- 
coveries of  rich  silver  deposits  at  the  West 
gave  a  fresh  impetus  to  these  desertions. 
As  to  the  volunteer  officers,  while  some 
splendid  material  of  this  sort  was  worked 
into  the  Army,  and  enriched  it,  the  experi- 
ence as  a  whole  proved  very  unfavorable. 
The  reader  perhaps  noticed  that  Stewap.t 
and  EciCLES,  of  the  Fifteenth  Infantry — 
whose  court-martial  sentences  the  President 
approved  last  week,  the  one  being  found  guil- 
ty of  drunkenness  and  the  other  of  attempt- 
ing bribery  in  the  matter  of  a  sutlership — 
were  both  ex-volunteer  officers,  one  from  Cal- 
fomia  and  the  other  from  Nevada.  Now, 
the  court-martial  sentences  for  the  past 
dozen  years  show  a  most  astonishing  pro- 
portion of  them  to  be  those  of  volunteer 
officers  as  compared  with  West  Pointers. 
Still,  by  this  very  process  of  court-martial 
weeding,  and  by  dint  of  hard  work,  the 
.\rmy  has  now  recovered  its  old  character 
and  is  worthy  of  its  best  days. 

A  second  drawback  to  the  Army  has  been 
of  much  more  weight,  so  far  as  concerns 
Joseph's  war.  This  is  that  the  constant 
changes  in  the  size  and  organization  of  the 
Army  made  by  Congress  have  prevented 
the  steadjr  advance  in  the  drill  and  dis- 
cipline of  all  three  arms,  which  would 
otherwise  have  been  secured,  while  the  con- 
stant changes  of  station,  required  by  the 
necessity  of  doing  a  great  deal  of  work  with 
au  extremely  small  force,  have  made  the 
matter  worse.  The  troops  on  sudden  calls 
are  moved  from  Florida  to  Oregon,  from 
Maine  to  Mexico.  When  recruits  are  en- 
listed they  are  so  much  needed  as  to  be  put 
into  the  field  at  once,  ^without  any  prelimi- 
nary service  in  camps  of  instruction,  and  the 
want  of  perfect  drill  tells  especially  on  the 
cavalry,  who  are  of  prime  importance  in 
Indian  campaigning.  But  in  spite  of  these 
and  other  disadvantages,  the  regular  forces 
are  superior  to  the  volunteer  forces  in 
Indian  service.  They  always  have  Indian 
scouts  with  them,  and  thus  make  up  the  only 
advantage  (the  one  of  knowledge  of  the 
country)  that  can  be  claimedfor  volunteers. 
They  have  also  a  degree  of  discipline  and 
steadiness  which  volunteers  have  not,  and 
these  qualities  are  specially  needed'  in 
Indian  warfare. 

It  should,  of  course,  Be  borne  in  mind 
that  regular  officers  have  freely  urged  the 
enlistment  of  volunteers  in  real  exigencies- 
Col.  SniY,  at  the  time  when  it  was  feared 
that  some  of  the  reservation  Indians  would 
join  Joseph,  recommended  the  employment 
of  200  Washington  Territory  or  Oregon 
volunteers,  to  avert  that  danger  and  the 
ensuing  damage,  "until  they  can  be  re- 
placed by  regular  troops."  G&n.  McDowell, 
the  division  commander,  approved  this 
suggestion,  and  the  Cabinet,  in  fact,  author- 
ized the  call,  with  a  pro\-iso  that  the  num- 
ber of  volunteers  could  be  raised  to  500. 
If  the  demand  of  Gov.  Potts  for  the  enlist- 
ment of  Montana  volunteers  is  not  listened 
to,  it  is  because  no  similari  exigency  exists 
to  justify  the  heavy  expense.  There  is  no 
ground  whatever  for  supposing  that  there 
are  not  regular  troops  enough  at  command 
to  cope  with  Joseph.  A  stem  chase  is  a 
long  one,  but  we  may  fairly  expect  that  our 
forces  will  either  capture  or  totally  disperse 
Joseph's  band. 


A  XEW  UXITERSITT. 

There  is  quite  a  number  of  persons  who 
are  in  favor  of  educating  young  ladies.  It 
must  not  be  assumed  that  there  is  nothing 
to  be  said  on  their  side  of  thS  question, 
although  time  and  space  forbid  the  discus- 
sion of  the  matter  at  present.  It  may, 
however,  be  suggested  that  the  evils  of  fe- 
male education  are  probably  much  exag- 
gerated, for  the  reason  that  in  nine  cases 
out  of  ten  the  young  lady  who  graduates  from 
a  female  college  forgets  all  she  has  learned 
after  one  or  two  seasons  of  fashionable 
gayety.  Of  course,  the  young  lady  who 
knows  her  Kings  of  England  by  heart,  and 
comprehends  the  difference  between  the 
Peloponnesian  and  Carthagenian  wars  would 
find  very  little  comfort  in  such  knowledge 
when  at  the  point  of  death,  but  the  ca- 
pacity of  the  female  mind  for  forgetting 
things  is  -far  greater  than  that  of  the  male 
mind,  and  many  a  young  lady  who  has  been 
thoroughly  educated  retains  no  trace  of  that 
process  at  the  expiration  of  three  or  four 
years  of  married  life. 

The  growing  interest  in  female  education 
naturally  leads  to  the  establishment  of  new 
female  colleges.  These  differ  greatly  one 
from  another,  and  the  thoughtful  man 
should  acquaint  himself  with  the  peculiari- 
ties of  each.  Among  the  most  remarkable 
of  these  institutions  is  a  female  college  in 
Pennsylvania— which  we  will  call  the  Abi- 
gail University— the  prospectus  of  which  is 
full  of  interesting  information.  This  uni- 
versity extends  its  care  not  only  to  the 
minds,  but  to  the  clothes  of  its  pupils,  who 
are  required  to  wear  what  the  university  au- 
thorities regard  as  a  neat  and  simple  uA- 
form.  After  alluding  to  the  evils  of  "un- 
due interest  in  dress,"  and  asserting  the 
right  of  the  authorities  to  legislate  in  the 
premises,  the  following  uniform  ia  pre- 
scribed: "A  napkin-ring,  overshoes,  um- 
brella, and  water-proof  cloak  " — which  uni- 
form each  student  is  required  to  bring  with 
her  on  entering  the  university.  There  is  no 
doubt  that  this  dress  has  the  merits  of  ex- 
treme simpUe^y,  ai$d  of  fitness  fpr  nearly 
every  sort  of  mild  weather.    Overahoes.  e&n 


be  worn  in  dry  as  well  as  in  wet  weather, 
and  the  water-proof  and  umbrella,  whieh 
protect  the  wearer  &om  the  rsin,  will  also 
protect  her  from  the  son.  How  the 
napkin-^ring  is  to  be  worn,  and  what 
purpose  it  is  to  serve,  are  qties- 
tions  -  which,  curiously  enough,  are 
left  wholly  imanswered.  It  cannot  be 
intended  as  an  ornament,  since  the  students 
of  the  Abigail  University  are  obviously  not 
permitted  to  wear  ornaments,  and  it  ia  quite 
impossible  to  understand  how  it  can  be 
used  as  a  garment.  Perhaps  the  studious 
young  ladies  are  expected  to  wear  napkin- 
rings  in  the  place  of  ordinary — ^bnt  no ;  this 
is  manifestly  impossible,  since  stockings 
do  not  form  part  of  the  uniform,  and,  be- 
sides, each  student  is  limited  to  one  napkin- 
ring,  mstead  of  a  pair  of  rings.  There  is 
really  only  one  way  in  which  to  account  for 
this  extraorc^inary  mention  of  a  napkin- 
ring  as  part  of  a  student's  uniform.  It  will 
be  remembered  that  Mr.  Squeers  required 
each  boy  to  bring  a  razor  with  him,  whereby 
the  astute  but  dishonest  Squeers  kept  him- 
self constantly  supplied  with  new  razors. 
Can  it  be  that  the  President  of  Abigail  Uni- 
versity is  making  a  collection  of  napkin- 
rings  f  It  is  painful  to  cherish  suspicion 
against  an  otherwise  blameless  man,  but  he 
certainly  ought  to  explain  how' his  students 
are  expected  to  wear  napkin-rings,  or  to 
cease  to  inention  those  articles  in  his  pros- 
pee  txis. 

Excellent  as  this  uniform  doubtless  is 
duriiig  the  Summer  months,  it  does  seem 
as  if  it  would  be  insufficient  during  cold 
weather.  Whether  a  young  lady  who,  while 
at  home,  has  been  accustomed  to  wear  the 
warm  and  fleecy  bustle,  together  with  a  pair 
of  flannel  corsets  and  a  close-fitting  placket, 
wUl  find  a  water-proof,  even  when  supple- 
mented with  overshoes  and  an  umbrella, 
enough  to  keep  her  comfortably  warm  is 
doubtful.  Of  course,  the  authorities  of  the 
university  know  best,  but  parents  would 
probably  be  better  satisfied  if  their  datigh- 
ters  were  to  be  allowed  to  wear  a  few  ruffles 
and  breastpins  in  Winter  to  protect  them 
against  the  cold.  This,  however,  is  a 
subject  upon  whieh  no  mere  man  is  qualified 
to  express  a  final  judgment,  and  it  would 
perhaps  be  well  to  wait  until  the  students 
formally  complain  that  they  find  these  uni- 
forms uncomfortable  in  cold  weather. 

As  might  be  expected,  grfiat  care  is  taken 
of  the  morals  of  the  Abigail  University  stu- 
dents. In  the  prospectus  the  revolting  sub- 
ject of  young  men  is  mentioned  only  once, 
and  then  the  offending  sex  is  delicately  al- 
luded to  as  a  denomination.  The  prospec- 
tus, asserts  that  "  the  personal  convictions 
of  pupils" — meaning  doubtless  their  real 
and  alleged  cousins — wiU  be  "  scrupulously 
regarded,"  and  that  pupils,  at  the  request  of 
their  parents,  "may  worship  with  other 
denominations" — or,  in  other  words,  may 
go  to  church  in  company  with  yovmg  men. 
As  no  religious  denominations  are  men- 
tioned in  the  part  of  the  prospectus  from 
whieh  the  preceding  quotation  is  made,  it  is 
obvious  that  the  word  "denominations"  is 
not  used  in  its  customary  sense,  and  is 
meaningless  unless  it  is  understood  to  refer 
to  young  men.  This  permission,  being  given 
only  at  the  request  of  parents,  cannot  be 
easUy  abused,  and  speaks  well  both  for  the 
the  liberality  and  caution  of  the  university 
authorities. 

It  would  naturally  be  supposed  that  in  an 
institution  so  carefnlly'^onducted  the  stu- 
dents would  be  orderly  and  quiet.  Never- 
theless, this  does  not  seem  to  be  the  case. 
The  prospeetas  contains  the  suggestive  an- 
nouncement that  "  students  will  be  charged 
for  any  damage  done  by  them  to  furniture 
or  rooms."  Are  we,  then,  to  suppose  that 
these  young  ladies  are  in  the  habit  of 
smashing  tables  and  chairs,  and  of  setting 
fire  to  their  bed-clothes  by  smoking  in  bed  T 
Are  they  addicted  to  the  pleasing  but  riot- 
ous practice  of  nailing  up  the  doors  of 
tutors,  or  do  they  lead  the  President's  cow 
into  the  chapel  and  steal  the  clapper  of  the 
bell  T  There  is  evidently  disorder  among 
the  students  of  a  nature  that  involves  dam- 
age to  furniture  and  rooms,  and  the  fact 
shows  that  there  is  something  wrong  in  the 
university  system  of  government.  May  it 
not  be  that  the  possession  of  umbrellas 
tempts  the  young  ladies  to  use  them  as 
weapons  of  offense  and  defense  T  A  hotly- 
contested  umbrella  duel  would  inevitably 
involve  the  breaking  of  a  good  deal  of  fur- 
niture, besides  more  or  less  injury  to  plas- 
tered walls.  This  should  be  investigated, 
and,  if  necessary,  the  students  should  be 
deprived  of  their  umbrellas.  After  all,  the 
umbrella  is  little  more  than  a  mere  orna- 
ment, and  young  ladies  who  can  keep  warm 
in  the  present  regulation  uniform  of  Abigail 
University  will  not  suffer  greatly  if  they  are 
compelled  to  lay  aside  the  umbrellas  which 
tUey  have  perverted  to  reprehensible  uses.

Talking  about  gerrymandering,  let  us  remem- 
ber that  126,973  Democrats  in  Kentucky  have  Just 
elected  35  State  Senators,  while  90,765  Republicans 
could  elect  only  one. 

A  man,  once  a  lawyer  in  Genoa,  is. now  trying 
to  gain  an  honest  living  by  selling  pea-nuts  at  10  cents 
a  pint  in  Cleveland.  Ohio.  One  of  the  papers  of  that 
city  takes  a  column  to  tell  this,  and  very  likely  it 
isn't  true. 

Messrs.  H.  Clay  Trumbull  and  John  D.  Wat-

LoNDOx,  Aug.  21. — The  Gozctfeannotmcea 
the  appointment  of  a  royal  commission  to  ex- 
amine the  law  and  treaties  relative  to  extrmdi-  a 
tion.  The  following  are  the  members :  Chief- 
Justice  Sir  Alexander  Cockbum,  Lords  Sel- 
bome  and  Blackbum.  Sir  Richard  Baggallay, 
Sir  William  Brett,  Sir  John  Rose.  Mr.  Rossell 
Gumey.  Mr.  MoCuUagh-Torrens,  Sir  William 
Temon-Harcourt,  and  Sir  James  Fitzjames 
Stephen. 

The  Mark-Lane  Express,  in  its  weekly  review 
of  the  British  com  trade,  says :  **  The  weatlter. 
which  a  week  ag  appeared  adverse  to  farming 
interests,  has  fortunately  undergone  an  inspirit- - 
ing  change,  varied  by  some  heavy  storTns.  In 
the  midland  counties  it  is  gratifyinj^  to  find 
some  districts  where  the  yield  of  wheat  is  said 
to  exceed  an  average.  These  are,  of  course,  ex- 
ceptions, and  not  numerous  enough  to  counter- 
balance the  localities  where  a  deficiency  on  an 
average  crop  is  reported,  still  it  appears 
evident  that  the  poor  yield  of  1876  will 
be  exceeded.  To  put  the  matter  in  flpures^we 
consider  that  11,000,000  or  12,000,000 
quarters  will  about  represent  the  home  growth 
this  year.  Barley  will  scarcely  be  ready  to  cut 
until  the  end  of  the  month,  but  with  fine 
weather  until  then  the  advantage  will  be  on  the 
side  of  the  crop,  whieh  h^  wonderfully  im- 
proved under  the  recent  rain  and  has  filled  out 
the  ears  in  a  promising  manner.  On  Monday 
last  the  first  samples  of  the  new  En^ish 
wheat  were  exhibited  at  Mark-Lane, 
lust  a  fortnifrht  later  than  was  the  cas3 
last  year.  Very  few  sales  have  yet  been 
made'  of  this  year's  produce,  as'  erowers 
have  held  for  fancy  prices,  whieh  buyers  have 
been  indisposed  to  give.  Some  indication  of 
future  values  will  probably  be  shown  this  week, 
when  the  increased  arrivals  will  no  doubt  at- 
tract purchasers.  The  probable  early  deliveries 
of  new  English  wheat  and  the  anticipated  shi&- 
ments  from  America  have  caused  trade  in  Mart- 
lane  to  move  within  very  narrow  limits,  and  the 
same  causes  have  to  some  extent  aSeet«d  the 
provincial,  markets,  although  in  the  Uttsr  no 

rat  activity  is  ever  expected  at  harvest  time, 
would  be  rash  to  attempt  now  to  predict 
what  the  future  course  of  prices  is  likely  to 
be,  but  our  requirements,  though  heavy,  will 
probably  be  easily  met  by  the  large  American 
supply  which  seems  to  be  assured,  plus  the 
shipments  from  Korth  Russia  and  India,  and 
the  other  numerous  channels  of  supply,  lo  that 
buyers  appear  to  be  justified  in  their  present 
cautious  policy.  At  .the  same  time  it  must  be 
borne  in  mind  that  political  contingencies  may 
again  disturb  trade  and  compel  buyers  to  extend 
their  operations,  while  the  supplies  from  India 
may  possibly  be  limited  or  interfered  with  by 
the*  pressing  need  of  those  districts  now 
scourged  by  famine." 

A  dispatch  from  Bombay  says  the  outlook  is 
now  desperate  in  Goojerat  and  Kattywar,  and 
seriously  threatening  in  Central  India,  Rajpoo-' 
tana,  Punjab,  and  Burmah,  the  latter  in  conse- 
quence of  heavy  exports  of  grain.  "The  Council 
of  Bombay  have  determined  to  construct  or  ex- 
tend several  railways  as  a  relief  work. 

A  disnatch  from  Malta  says  her  Majesty's 
iron-clad  steam-ship  Agincourt.  on  sailing  from 
Besika  Bay,  took  400  sets  of  intrenching 
tools. 

Mr.  Frederick  CaviU  started  at  3:40  o'clock 
yesterday  afternoon  from  Cape  Grizner,  to  swim 
across  the  English  ChaaneL  In  this  attempt  he 
succeeded,  having  arrived  within  50  yards  of 
the  English  coast,  near  Dover,  at  3:45 '  o'clock 
this  morning.  He  was  then  taken  into  a  boat, 
because  the  sea  being  rough  and  the  breakers 
high,  it  was  considered  unsafe  for  him  to  land. 

"The  weather  in  IW>ndon  yesterday  was  very 
hot.  Today  it  is  boisterous  and  unsettled.  In 
Scotland  during  the  week  past  there  have  been 
ceaseless  heavy  rains,  doin^  much  harm  to 
standing  and  root  crops.  -  They  are  said  to  have 
been  the  heaviest  Summer  rains  in  40  years.

FOB   1S78. 

Paris,  Aug.  21.— As  President  Mac- 
Mahon  was  leaving  Cherbourg  on  Sunday 
evening  a  Republican  demonstration  occurred. 
He  was  greeted  w-ith  shouts  of  *'  T*ive  2a  R*- 
puhlique  !  Vive  Thiers  r'  and  the  singing  of  the 
Marseillaise. 

LoSDOJJ,  Aug.  22.— The  Timtg  Paris  cor- 
respondent says  it  is  understood  that  Oen.  Du- 
cTot  has  applied  to  the  Minister  of  War 
for  permission  to  sue  the  Moniteur  for 
defamation.  The  inference  is  that  he  denies 
the  charges  of  instlgatins  the  Figaro's  attack* 
on  Ministers  Berthaut  and  De  BrogUe. 

Another  Paris  dispatch  states  t&it  the  elec- 
tions for  members  of  the  Councils-General  will 
be  held  at  the  beginning  of  Xovember.  A 
special  session  of  the  Councils  will  bt> 
ordered  at  the  end  of  that  month,  so  that 
they  can  apportion  among  the  arrondisements 
direct  taxes  for  1878,  which  the  new  Chamber 
of  Deputies  will  then  have  had  time 
to  vote.  This  announcement,  which  appears 
in  a  ministerial  paper  indicates  that  there  is  no 
idea  of  attempting  a  second  dissolution,  which 
the  Senate  would  certainly  refuse  to  sanction, 
and  which  would  throw  the  assessment  and  col- 
lection of  direct  taxes  wholly  out  of  gear.

in  a  flourishing  condition.  There 
are  now  in  the  State  of  Xew-York  454  lodges, 
with  a  membership  of  about  40,000.  The  re-

Uid  by  special  train  passed  through  the  Notch. 
Upon  reaching  North  Conway,  at  9:10,  car- 
riages were  obtained,  and  the  Kearsarge  House 
visited,  where  a  receptioli  was  held  by  the 
Executive  and  Cabinet  officers.  At  Glen  Sta- 
tion a  few  moments  were  passed  in  hand- 
shaking, and  cheers  were  given  by  the  crowd  as 
the  train  moved  away.  At  the  station  at 
Upper  Bartlett,  a  number  of  citizens  were  con-

down  the  valley  of  the  Saco  and  of  the  old 
Wiley  House.  The  party  arrived  at  this  place 
at  11:30  for  dinner,  before  which  a  short  re- 
ception was  held  in  the  parlor,  the  guests  of  the^ 
house  greeting  the  ofB.cials  and  welcoming  them 
to  the  bouse.  At  1  o'clock  the  party  started  for 
Plymouth. 

Plymouth,  N.  H.,  Aug.  21.— After  partaking 
of  an  elegant  banquet  at  the  Crawford  House, 
at  1  o'clock,  the  party  left  for  Fabyan's.  At  the 
Pabyaii  House  a  special  train  was  taken.  At 
Bethlehem  coaches  were  provided,  and  a  ride 
of  a  few  minutes  brought  the  guests  to 
the  ilaplewood  House.  The  President  was  in- 
troduced to  the  crowd  by  Gov.  Prescott.  Mr. 
Francis  "Wells,  of  the  Pniladelphia  Evening 
BuUetiny  received  the  President  in  a  humorous 
speech,  to  which  the  latter  replied  briefly.  Then 
advancing  he  took  the  hand  of  the  nearest  lady, 
and  continued  shaking  hands  with  all  present. 
After  a  short  reception  the  teams  were  again 
taken,  and  all  were  conveyed  to  the  Sinclair 
House.  Here  fiUly  1,000  people  had  come  to- 
gether, and  with  a  band  of  music  and  enthusi- 
astic cheers  greeted  the  officials  as  they  arrived. 
President  Hayes  and  the  Cabinet  officers,  ac- 
companied by  Gov.  Prescott,  proceeded  to  the 
balcony  of  the  house,  where  the  President  was 
introduced  to  the  people,  and  said : 

Fkllow-citizkns  :  I  thank  you  cordially  one  and 
all  for  this  cordial  greetinR,  and  I  wish  it  was  posai' 
ble  that  I  could  form  the  acquaintance  of  each,  of 
yotL  and  take  you  by  the  hand ;  but  our  ioumey 
allows  but  a  moment  at  each  place.  I  am  sore  you 
do     not     desire      me      to      make      a       political 

?>eecJi.  You  are  too  sensible  a  crowd  for  that ;  but 
am  sure  we  agree  in  a  few  things,  however  much 
we  may  differ  in  others.  There  are  many  things  about 
which  we  can  differ,  such  as  btisiness  and  secular 
affairs,  without  discussing  our  political  differences. 
Now  Tre  are  af^reed  as  Americans,  I  think,  that  all 
parts  of  the  Constitution  shall  be  obeyed, 
the  pans  that  are  new  as  well  as  the  parts  that  ore 
old  ■:  that  it  will  be  a  grand  tiiizig  to  dwell  ti^etber 
In  imity.  "We  have  disagreed  in  the  past  throng  the 
evils  'of  war  the  country  has  borne.  But 
these  thiufEs  are  past.  Let  as  have  a 
brief  period  at  least  of  perfect  harmony  and  unity. 
We  have  with  ns  a  few  people  who  are  associated 
with  me  in  office — Secretary  Evarts,  Attorney- 
General  I>even9.  and  Postmaster-General  Key.  . 
[Applause  greeted  each  name.  ]  I  don't  see 
that  you  make  much  difference  in  these  people, 
although  the  last  mentioned  had  the  bad  taste  to 
vote  against  me,  and  this  is  his  first  visit  North.  But 
he  is  with  us  in  a  common  intereet.  The  results  of 
the  war  are  to  be  accepted  by  all  the  people  of  all 
parts  of  the  conntry.  both  North  and  South.  I  have 
now  the  pleasure  of  introducing  to  you  Postmaster- 
General  Key. 

Mr.  Key  said  : 

I*iDi£S  ANT>  Gextlemem  :  I  have  not  been  accus- 
tomed to  New- England  or  its  people,  and  my  educa- 
tion has  not  been  such  as  to  lead  me  to  form  the  best 
opinion  of  them  ;  but  I  have  been  here  several  days 
and  have  been  so  generously  received  and  met  so 
many  generous  men  and  women  that  I  am  almost 
ready  to  call  myself  a  New-Englauder. 

Secretary  Evarts  was  introduced  by  the  Presi- 
dent as  one  that  could  better  tell  about  battles 
at  home  than  his  bachelor  Attorney-General. 
Mr.  Evarts  said  : 

Tou,  Mr.  President,  have  been  very  fortunate  in 
many  things,  but  in  none  more  so  thaji  in  not  know- 
ing that  bachelors  have  no  battles  to  fight  at  home. 
I  never  before  saw  a  crowd  that  would  al- 
low a  coach  and  six  horses  driven  throngh 
it  without  being  distnxbed,  and  I  take  it 
as  a  sign  that  you  de^iire  peace  and  reconciliation, 
and  that  you  desire  all  the  old  chasms  filled  up.  If 
there  is  another  great  internal  struggle  it  will  not  be 
upon  the  old  issues  between  the  North  and  South- 
The  best  way  for  the  people  of  different  parts  of  the 
coaniry.  or  of  different  coimtries  to  become  ac- 
'  quainted.  Is  by  fighting.  The  North  and  South  have 
nad  such  an  opportunity  and  a  great  one.  The  strong 
*men  of  both  sections  met :  no  cowardice  was  shown 
on  either  side  ;  they  fougbt  for  principles  they  had 
long  learned  to  revere.  The  great  contest  between 
Daniel  "Webster,  of  your  State,  and  Calhoun,  of  the 
South  worked  into  the  feelings  of  the  people  until  there 
was  no  way  out  of  the  difficulty  but  war.  No  in- 
trigninp  of  foreign  powers  can  divide  us  from  with- 
out, and  no  portion  of  the  poopW  will  ever  again 
strive  to  dinde  us  from  within. 

At  the  conclusion  of  ilr.  Evarts*  remarks  the 
party  again  took  carriages  and  drove  at  once  to 
the  depot  at  Littleton,  a  distance  of  five  miles. 
'The  train  at  once  started  for  Plymouth,  making 
short  stops  at  Lisbon,  Woodville,  Haver- 
fhill,  Warren,  Bomney,  and  "West  Bomney,  At 
Plymouth  the  party  was  met  by  a  delegation 
of  citizens,  while  on  either  side  were  ranged 
lax^  numbers  of  school  children,  beautifudly 
dr^sed  and  carrying  flowers.  The  President 
and  party  were  at  once  shown  to  their  rooms, 
after  which  they  appeared  on  the  stairs  of  the 
|hotel,  and  the  Prudent  was  introduced  to  the 
people,  whom  he  addressed  as  follows : 

La0i£S  A:a>  FELL0W-cmz£>-s :  I  thank  you 
sincerely  for  this  very  cordial  welcome.  I  am  quite 
sure  that  nothing  could  be  more  satisfactory  than 
a  heartv  reception  like  this.  The  school  children,  the 
little  girls  with  flowers,  are  in  token  of  the  good 
feeling  yon  have  not  only  toward  us,  but  toward 
all  our  countrymen  of  every  Slate.  If  there 
Is  any  sentiment  that  has  guided  what  we  have  flone. 
It  has  been  for  a  conunon  nationality.  It  has  been 
our  desire  to  do  something  for  the  neopie  of  all  the 
States.  We  have  fait  that  war  should  end. 
and  that  peace  should  spread  through  all 
Dtir  borders.  We  ho^,  as  a  result  of  this,  that  men 
shall  no  louser  be  said  to  belong  to  the  States  of 
Louisiana.  Maine,  or  Iowa,  but  citizens  of  a  common 
country.  Beyond  these  questions  of  the  general  good, 
there  are  questions  on  which  all  may  differ ;  there 
are  differences  about  the  policy  and  means  of  accom- 
plishing desired  ends,  but  we  do  believe  that  all  good 
people  everywhere  desire  reconciliation ;  that  the 
laws  are  to  be  obeyed,  and  that  the  rights  of  each 
and  every  citizen  should  be  respected,  what- 
ever his  race  or  color.  That  being  done,  we 
may  be  citizens,  not  of  a  State,  but  of  a  free  and 
united  country.  It  is  because  I  believe  that  you 
desire  this  that  I  see  yon  gathered  here 
toeetber — Democrats,  Republicans.  and  Inc^- 
pendenta.  It  is  my  hope  that  at  the  dose 
of  my  administration  we  may  say,  ^as 
Jefferson  said,  "We  are  no  longer  Federalists,  and 
no  longer  Republicans,  but  now  we  are  all  Federalists 
and  RepnbUcana. "  and  so  to-night,  for  this  night  at 
least,  let  tis  say  that  we  are  all  Democrats  and  all 
bepublicans — and,  better  than  that,  all  Amaxicans. 

The  President  then  introduced  Mr.  E 
who  said : 

I  am  glad,  ladles  and  gentlemen,  to  receive  some 
■hare  of  that  kindness  and  warmth  with  which  you 
greet  the  President  of  the  United  States,  and  thus  re- 
flect on  us  a  share  of  the  honors.  What  he  has  said 
we  all  think  What  he  plans  we  all  do,  and  if 
during  tiae  Administration  we  shall  see  that  the  Gtov- 
emment  is  honestly,  discreetly,  and  impartially  car- 
ried on,  and  amity  established  In  the  hearts  of  the 
people,  we  aball  feel  that  we  have  done  something  to 
make  It  easy  and  pleasant  for  our  successors. 

Mr.  Hayes  then  introduced  Postmaster-Gene- 
ral Key.  who  spoke  in  a  humorous   vein  for  a 
few  moments,  and  closed  by  saying  that  serious- 
he     was     very      glad     to     he     present ; 

lat  notwithstang  the  trouble  oetween 
Korth  and  South  in  the  past,  there 
Is  now  no  occasion  for  it.  It  became  us,  then, 
to  cultivate  good  relations.  "  As  I  travel  up  and 
down  your  stream  I  hear  the  hci|Lm  of  machinery. 
You  manufacture  our  cotton,  and  we  have  a 
mutual  interest  in  a  common  peace."  Gen. 
Devens  spoke  for  a  moment  only,  and  the  march 
for  the  supper-table  prevented  farther  recep- 
tion. After  the  meal  a  general  reception  was 
held. 

Watkbtown,  N.  T.,  Aug.  21. — ^Vice-President 
Whevler  left  Ma!oue  for  the  "White  Mountains 
to-day,  for  the  benefit  of  his  health. 

CoNCOBD,  N.  H.,  Aug.  21.— Vico-Preaident 
THieeler  arrived  in  this  city  this  evening  from 
Malone,  K.  T.  Many  prominent  citizens 
called  at  the  Eagle  Hotel,  where  he 
la  staying,  to  pay  their  r&spects.  At 
9:30  o'clock  he  was  serenaded  by  the 
Concord  Band.  On  being  introduced  to  the 
^crowdthat  had  gathered  in  front  of  the  hotel 
by  Hon.  A.  B.  Thompson,  Secretary  of  State, 
he  spoke  as  follows : 

Fzixow-CmXEXS :  I  thank  you  most  sincerely  for 
this  cordial  recognition,  and  the  band  for  the  heauti- 
fol  music,  and  with  this  brief  aclmowledg-

requests  me  to  say  that  it  would  give  him  great  pleas- 
ure to  do  80  were  it  at  all  in  his  power.  It 
will,  however,  be  impossible  for  him  to  extend  his  ab- 
sence from  the  seat  of  Government  beyond  the  time 
devoted  to  his  visits  to  the  States  of  Vermont  and 
New- Hampshire,  and  he  begs  thai  you  will  accept  his 
sincere  regrets  that  at  present  he  must  forego  the 
gratification  which .  he  would  receive  from  the  pro- 
posed visit,  and  that  yon  will  permit  ^^-m  to  indulge  in

AN  ADVENTURESS  EXPOSED. 


thi 


MRS.  ANNA  WALLINGPORD'S  ANTECEDENTS 
AS  X>EVELOPED  IN  A  NEW-JERSEY  COURT 
— HEB  VICTIMS  AND  HER  METHODS — ^A 
PLIRtATION  WITH  SAMUEL  J.  TILDEN— A 

BIG  CLAIM  AGAINST  THE  GOVERNMENT. 

From  our  Ovm-CorregpondewU 
Philadelphia,  Tuesday,  Aug.  21,  1877. 

One  of  the  most  celebrated  adventuresses 
in  the  country,  known  as  Mrs.  Anna  Walling- 
ford,  alias  Tiffany,  alias  Collier,  was  exposed  in 
Camden,  opposite  this  city,  to-day,  in  a  hearing 
before  Justice  Cassady.  She  had  charged 
George  F.  Berkert,  a  prominent  wealthy 
and  fashionable  boot  'and  shoe  dealer 
of  this  city,  with  having  stolen  a  $1,000 
bill  from  h  er  at  Cape  May  on  the  1 4th 
of  the  present  month.  It  seems  that  the 
woman  made  Berkert's  acquaintance  last  Fall, 
and  since  about  the  first  of  the  year  the  two 
have  been  living  together,  or  rather  boarding 
at  the  same  house,  the  man  deserting  his  family 
for  the  purpose  of  following  her  up.  Since  he 
has  kept  her  company  he  has  become  ruined 
financially,  and  the  female  has  oftentimes 
paid  their  hotel  bills.  About  a  week 
ago,  through  the  persuasion  of  his 
brother  and  members  of  the  family,  Berkert 
attempted  to  rid  himself  of  Mrs.  Wallingford, 
and  there  was  some  trouble.  They  made  up, 
and  proceeded  to  Cape  May,  stopping  at  Con- 
gress HaU.  On  the  afternoon  of  tbe  14th  she 
alleges  that  Berkert  abstracted  a  $1,000  bill 
from  her  pocket-book,  and  she  therefore  caused 
his  arre^  The  woman  was  put  upon  the  stand, 
and  stood  a  three-hours'  cross-examination, 
wherein  she  showed  a  most  wonderful  memory, 
forgetting  where  it  was  convenient  and  remem- 
bering at  points  which  were  afterward  tum'ed 
against  her.  At  the  conclusion,  Hon-  Alden  C. 
Scovel,  who  represented  Mr.  Berkert,  made  an 
address  in  favor  of  his  client,  when  he  read  ex- 
tracts from  all  the  principal  Western  papers, 
which  showed  the  extent  of  her  operations  in 
the  West.  The  woman  originally  came  from 
Dalton,  Ga.,  and  her  maiden  name  is  believed 
to  have  been  Anna  Claudine  W^ittemore.  She 
figured  extensively  in  Kansas,  especially  at 
Atchison  and  Leavenworth,  where  she  lived 
with  a  man  named  Collier.  It  is 
believed  that  sjie  was  married  secretly 
to  Lieut.  Tiffany,  a  son  of  Rev.  Dr.  Tiflfany,  of 
the  Metropolitan  Methodist  Church  of  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  in  St^  Louis.  She  was  also  mar- 
ried to  Lieut.  D.  W.  Wallingford,  of  the  regular 
Army,  who  was  dismissed  from  the  8er\-ice  for 
conduct  unbecoming  an  officer.  In  his  summing 
up  Mr.  Scovel  said  there  was  sgagocjrut^hotel 
proprietor  in  the  West  wh(k#haanot  a  gooK-fat 
bill  against  her,  which  h^HCept  as  aremembrance. 
and  on  one  occasion,  ■wfien  she  pretended  to  have 
lost  some  baggage,  ^d  made  a  claim  against 
the  Pittsburg,  Cincinnati  and  St,  Louis  Rail- 
way for  damages  in  the  sum  of  $5,000,  a  hotel 
proprietor  was  telegraphed  to  at  Columbus  to 
know  il  she  had  taken  her  baggage  from  his 
place.  He  telegraphed  back  to  the  baggage- 
master:  *'She  removed  her  baggage.  Dont 
pay  her  one  cent.  She  is  a  professional  dead 
beat  and  black-mailer,  and  we  have  evidence 
enough  to  send  her  to ." 

Probably  one  of  Mrs.  Wallingford's  most 
amusing  escapades  was  with  the  late  Democratic 
candidate  for  the  Presidencv,  Hon.  Samuel  J. 
Tilden,  at  Cape  May,  in  18'?5.  Mrs.  Walling- 
ford was  there,  and  was  spoken  of  as  a  dash- 
ing and  handsome  young  ividow.  She  wore  an 
attractive  bathing  suit,  with  knee  breeches  and 
striped  stockings.  Her  form  was  well  displayed, 
and  excited  considerable  admiration  among 
the  gentlemen,  among  whom  was  the  bachelor 
candidate  for  President.  The  woman  lost  no 
opportunity  to  '  ingratiate  herself  with  Gov. 
THlden,  and,  it  is  believed,  was  the  recipient  of 
numerous  favors  at  his  hands,  causing  con- 
siderable talk.  She  also  has  a  claim  for  $800,- 
000  against  the  Government,  now  pending  in 
the  Court  of  Claims,  for  property  said  to  have 
been  destroyed  at  Dalton,  Ga..  during  the  war, 
which  she  says  belonged  to  her.  To  back  up 
this  are  letters  from  Gen.  Steadman  and  others, 
which  are  genuine,  but  as  to  how  she 
obtained  possession  of  them  is  another  matter. 
After  hearing  all  the  testimony  in  the  matter 
Justice  Cassady  dismissed  the  case.  The  evi- 
dence, which  4iad  been  obtained  for  the  purpose 
of  the  expos^  was  furnished  by  Pinkerton'a 
agency  here?  Mr.  Benjamin  Franklin  managing 
the  affair.  Mrs.  Wallingford-CoUier-Tiffiuy  is 
about  35  or  40  years  of  age.  a  demi-blonde.  with 
blue  eyes,  fine  figure,  and  a  glib  tofigue,  with  a 
tnily  Southern  accent.  While  agreeable'  in  her 
manners,  ehe  apes  refinement,  and,  being  illit- 
erate, exposes  her  true  character. 

SETTLING  RIOT  LOSSES. 


LIXG  Rl 


COL.  SCOTT'S  METHOD — ALLEGHENY  COUNTY 
TO  PAY  THE  WHOLE  AMOUNT,  AND  THE 
PENNSYLVANIA  RAILROAD  TO  PROSECUTE 
ALL  THE  CLAIMS. 

From  Our  Oicn  CorretpondenU 
.Philadelphia.  Tuesday,  Aug,  21,  1877. 
The  members  of  the  Maritime  Exchange 
Committee  to-day  held  a  long  secret  session  with 
CoL  Scott  and  the  Committee  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  relative 
to  the  plan  for  proceeding  to  re- 
cover from  the  County  of  Allegheny 
for  freight  in  transit  destroyed  by  the 
rioters  in  the  latter  part  of  July.  CoL 
Scott  referred  them  to  the  circular  which  he 
had  issued,  apd  which  was  published  in  the 
New-Yokk  TiMKS  last  Sunday.  By  conforming 
to  this,  and  presenting  their  claims  as  soon  as 
possible,  was  the  only  remedy  he  knew  fbr  their 
losses.  If  the  merchants  so  desired,  h6  woiild 
have  the  claims  of  private  parties  take  prece- 
dence over  ^ose  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad 
Company.  The  idea  ho  advanced  was 
for  the  merchants  to  surrender  all 
bills  of  lading,  invoices,  &:c.,  to  the  railroad 
company,  and  make  common  war  on  Allegheny 
County  through  that  channel,  and  the  cori>ora- 
tion  would  pay  all  the  expenses  of  the  suit.  As 
.to  recovering  from  the  railroad  company,  that 
is  an  absurdity,  as  a  special  law  protects  them 
in  cases  where  the  freight  has  been  destroyed 
bv  mob  violence.  As  there  is  property 
valued  at  $250,000,000  in  Allegheny 
County,  a  tax  of  1  6-10  mills  on  $1 
would  raise  enough  money  to  pay  the 
claims.  The  committee  of  merchants  departed 
after  receiving  thi^  intelligence,  but  just  how 
they  are  pleased  is  explained  by  the  fact  that 
they  are  bH  gentlemen,  and  a  polite  note  was  ad- 
dressed to  Col.  Scott  some  time  ago  requesting 
an  interview,  but  instead  CoL  Scott  issued  a 
number  of  circulars,  and  when  the  committee 
called  for  information  referred  them  to  the 
circulars,  stating  that  that  was  all  he  could  do, 
and  so  cut  off  discussion.  The  members  feel 
aggrieved  at  their  treatment,  and  the  wool 
trade  here  generally  is  up  in  arms  against  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company,  and  while  the 
threats  are  not  open,  there  are  subdued  mur- 
murings  and  oft-expressed  wishes  that  some  en- 
terprising railroad  company  could  come  ia  here, 
with,  direct  connectiona  of  its  own,  like  the 
Pennsylvania,  to  the  West,  and  then  the  mer- 
chants here  could  get  justice.  At  the  present 
time  Commodore  Vanderbilt's  Blue  Line  is 
reaping  the  benefit  of  this  dissatisfaction.

Beading,  Penn.,  Aug.  21. — ^Habeas  cor- 
pus hearings  were  held  before  Judge  Sassaman 
to-day,  in  the  cases  of  Thomas  Kendall  and 
John  G.  Cleaver,  charged  with  riot  and  inciting 
to  riot  during  the  terrible  days  of  Jtily  22  and 
23.  A  prima  facie  case  was  made  out  against

CUSTOM-HOUSE  EEFORM. 

REPORT  ON  ABUSES  IN  NEW-YORK. 

WHAT  THE  C01C3CISSI0NEHS  SAY  OF  THE 
WEIGHERS  AND  OAUOEBS — ^BUSINESS  IM- 
PEDED BY  IN8UPPICIENT  OFFICERS  AND 
AN  IMPERPECT  SYSTEM— A  REORGANIZA- 
TION OF  THE  WEIGHING  DEPARTMENT 
URQSB — THE  REPORT  TJKDEB  CONSIDEBA- 
TION  BY  THE  TBSASUBT  OFFICIALS. 

"Washington,  Aug.  21.— The  report  of 
Messrs.  John  Jay,  Lawrence  Ttimure,  and  J. 
H.  Robinson  on  the  weighers  and  gangers  of 
the  New- York  Custom-house,  launder  considera- 
'tlon  at  the  Treasury  Department.  The  Com- 
missionerB  have  agreed  that  the  safety  of  the 
revenue,  the  interests  of  commerce,  and  the 
good  name  of  the  Government  demand  the  re- 
organization of  this  branch  of  the  service.  The 
fit  performance  of  the  work  calls  for  intelli- 
gence, fairness,  experience,  exactitude,  and 
promptness,  and  while  a  lack  of  the^ 
qualities  is  detrimental  to  the  inter- 
ests of  the  Government,  it  bears  heavily 
ttpon  honorable  importers.  They  also  say 
that  these  gentlemen  claim  the  right  to  enjoy 
all  facilities  that  are  not  legally  abridged  for 
thej  safety  of  the  Customs.  They  regard  as 
wirong  all  maladministration  in  the  service 
which  tends  to  impede  their  business,  and  they 
claim  that  inaccuracies,  exactions,  and  delays 
in  the  Weigher's  Department  subject  them  to 
loss,  especially  in  affairs  conducted  by  steam 
and  telegraph,  or  where  the  goods  are  sold  de- 
liverable on  their  arrival.  The  commission 
agree  in  thinking  it  important  that  the  Depart- 
ments of  Weighers  and  Gangers  shall  each  have 
a  practical  expert  at  the  head,  upon  whom 
should  rest  the  responsibility,  and  that  each  as- 
sistant, who,  like  tne  chief,  should  be  an  expert 
and  a  man  of  character,  should  be  in  bis  turn 
responsible  for  the  laborers,  to  be  selected  by 
himself.     The  Commissioners  continue : 

*'  In  addition  to  the  maladministration  which  we 
have  specified,  the  present  district  system,  with  13 
districts— four  on  the  Hudson  Biver,  four  on  the 
East  River,  and  five  In  Brooklyn— has  so  many  dis- 
advantages that  it  Is  Impossible  to  render  it  an  eco- 
nomical one  to  the  Government.  The  commission 
are  clear,  if  the  smallest  part  of  the  evidence  oefore 
them  is  true,  that  no  partnership  nor  connection  of 
any  kind  in  the  work  of  weighing  dutiable  goods, 
should  be  sanctioned  or  tolerated  between  the  United 
states  Weighers  and  those  of  the  City.  With  these 
views,  the  commission  respectfully  recommend  the 
reorganization  of  this  department  in  the  following 
manner.    They  propose : 

F\r»t — To  vacate  the  offices  of  weighers,  weigh- 
ers'foremen,  and  weif^hers'  clerks,  and  abolish  *^o 
existing  weighing  districts.  , 

Second — To  appoint  one  weigher,  at  a  salary  of 
$2,500  per  year,  with  an  office  at  the  Custom-house, 
with  six  dei^s,  at  salaries  of  $1,200  per  year,  and 
one  special  assistant  weigher,  at  a  salary  o'f  $1,600 
per  year. 

T%ird— To  appoint  3^  assistant  weighers,  at  sal* 
aries  of  $1,400  per  year  each. 

Fwirth — To  oirect  that  the  assistant  weighers 
shall  employ  the  laborers  they  require  In  weighing, 
not  to  exceed  ordinarily  four  men,  at  a  rate  not  ex- 
ceeding 20  cents  per  hoar  while  actually  employed. 

JXM"That  10  laborers  shall  be  permanently  em- 
ployed at  a  rate  not  exceeding  40  cents  per  hour,  who 
shall  have  charge  of  weighers  and  gangers'  tools,  and 
keep  them  in  good  order,  at  places  to  be  de-ignated. 

Sixth — To  appoint  one  ganger,  at  asalarv  of  $2,000 
per  year,  with  an  office  at  the  Custom-house,  and  ap- 
point one  ganger's  clerk,  at  a  salary  of  $1,200  per 
year. 

Seventh — To  appoint  six  assistant  gangers  at  sala- 
ries of  $1,400  per  year. 

Eighth — To  durect  that  each  assistant  ganger  em- 
ploy his  own  laborers,  not  exceeding  two  m  number, 
at  a  rate  not  exceeding  40  cents  per  hour. 

Sinth — Tliat  the  assistant  weigliers  and  assistant 
gaugers  shall  do  the  work  of  wei;^htng  and  ganging  re- 
spectively, talcing  the  weight  and  gauce  themselves, 
and  that  no  laborers  shall  be  designated  assistant  weigh- 
ers or  assistant  gaugt-rs  to  perform  the  duties  of 
those  officers  ;  the  assistant  weighers  and  assistant 
f;augers  to  be  assigned  to  duty  as  the  necessity  of 
the  service  may  require,  at  such  localities  and  for 
such  time  as  the  weigher  and  ganger  may  determine, 
with  the  approval  of  the  Surveyor. 

Tenth — "That  all  records  be  kept  in  their  offices  at 
the  Custom-house,  and  that  the  clerical  work  be  done 
by  thA  clerks  in  those  offices,  and  returns  signed 
there,  by  the  weigher  or  ganger  respectively,  as  the 
case  may  be,  withm  48  hours  after  the  merchandise 
has  been  weighed  or  ganged ;  all  special  returns  of 
weight,  or  certificateH  of  weights  or  gauges,  to  be 
furnished  to  the  Importers,  shipmasters,  or  owners, 
or  any  one  representing  them,  free  from  any  charge 
whatsoever. 

EUventh — That  a  simple  and  Inexpensive  uniform 
be  adopted,  to  be  worn  by  such  of  the  Customs  offi- 
cers as  may  be  required  to  wear  it,  the  caps  having 
initial  letters  indicating  the  branch  of  the  service  to 
which  the  wearer  belongs  :  that  at  least  the  in- 
spectors, the  weigher,  and  ganger,  and  their  assikt- 
ants,  be  required  at  once  to  wear  such  uniform  dur- 
•ing  their  hours  of  duty. 

While  the  foregoing  plan  will,  it  is  believed,  mate- 
rially reduce  the  expenses  of  the  existing  eyrttem, 
which  are  shown  in  appendix  "  R,  "  the  commission 
think  that  with  the  improvements  in  the  character 
and  efficiency  of  the  force,  under  the  skillful 
managemeut  of  .experienced  chiefs,  a  further  reduo- 
tion  may,  perhaps,  soon  be  feasible ;  but  in  view  of 
the  evils  of  the  present  system,  the  commission  have 
regarded  the  question  of  expense  as  one  of  Inferior 
importance  to  that  of  the  immediate  reorganlEation 
of  the  department.  The  plan  which  they  have  now 
the  honor  to  recommend,  should  its  general  features 
meet  your  approval,  they  believe  may  be  put  In  ope- 
ration at  an  early  day,  with  such  careful  preliminary 
arrangements  for  its  smootn  working  that  the  change 
need  canse  no  interruption  to  the  business  of  the 
Custom-house  or  to  that  of  the  importers. 

Touching  the  practical  results  or  this  system,  the 
e\-idence  submitted,  in  their  judgment,  shows  that 
under  the  preseut  system  the  larger  number  of 
United  States  weighers  who  receive  salaries  of 
$2,500  per  annum,  and  who  are  assigned  respectively 
to  weighing  districts,  render  but  little,  if'  any.  per- 
sonal service  to  the  Government ;  that  the  weighers' 
foremen,  who  receive  $1,200  per  annum,  perform 
but  little  service ;  that  the  most  Important  part  of 
the  duties  which  they  do  perform  is  the  assignment 
of  laborers  to  assist  the  assistant  weighers :  that  In 
some  of  the  districts  the  foreman  designates  from 
the  laborers  who  are  hired  "  assistant  foremen  "  or 
••  (Iwk  foremen."  ns  they  are  sometimes  called,  who 
jierfonn  such  duty  an  is  supposed  to  pertain  to  the 
office  of  foreman ;  tliat  the  weighers'  clerks,  salaried 
officers  receiving  $1,200  per  year,  In  some  instances 
perform  no  duty,  and  that  in  most  if  not  all  of  the 
weighers'  offices  men  who  are  hired  as  laborers 
are  assigned  to  do  the  clerical  work  which 
was  intended  to  be  done  by  the  regular 
clerk  of  the  weigher  ;  that  the  number  of  laborers 
assigned  to  the  weighers'  offices  for  clerical  duty 
varies  in  the  several  districts  from  four  to  eight  per- 
sons— in  some  offices  four,  in  others  six,  and  in  still 
others  eight ;  that  these  men,  so  assigned,  have  but 
Uttle  dnty  to  perform  :  that  in  the  offices  of  weigh- 
ers, persons  whose  names  are  borne  on  the  laborers' 
pay-roll  are  assigned  to  duty  as  janilor^i.  useless  per- 
sons, who  really  perform  little  or  no  service,  out 
wlio  receive  pay  as  though  they  were  employed 
10  hours  per  day,  six  days  In  t\x8  week, 
at  40  cents  per  hour ;  that  names  of  persons  are 
borne  on  the  labor  pay-rolls  who  periorm  no  service 
except  that  of  signing  their  names  to  pay-rolls  and 
receiving  their  pay ;  Uiat  nn  excessive  number  of  per- 
sons as  laborers  are  assigned  to  dnty  at  the  scales — 
often  OS  many  as  10  persons,  when  only  four,  as  a 
rule,  can  be  advantageously  employed — and  that  these 
persons  are  employed  as  laborers  bv  weighers  and 
weighers'  foremen  as  a  reward  for  political  services  ; 
that  the  assistant  weigher,  who  performs  the  work 
of  weighing  and  liandling  the  beam,  has  no  voice  in 
the  sele<'tion  of  the  men  whom  he  is  to  use 
as  laborers  in  perlorming  his  duty,  but  is 
obliged  to  use  such  men  und  such  a  number  as  the 
weiKhor  or  his  foreman  may  designate  ;  that  a  part 
of  the  weighable  merchandise  imported  at  this  port 
is  not  weighed  by  the  United  States  weighers  or  any 
of  their  assistants,  but  ia  weighed  by  the  City 
weighers,  who  give  memoranda  of  what  purport  to 
be  the  weights  to  the  assistant  weigher,  from  which 
the  assistant  weigher  makes  up  his  dock-book, 
whicli  forms  the  basis  of  the  return  of  weight  made 
to  the  Custom-house.  lu  such  cases  ns'  this  the 
United  States  laborers  are  used  by  the  City  weigh- 
ers in  weiring  the  merchandise,  and  the  United 
States  weigher  or  his  foreman  collects  from  the 
City  weigher  one-half  of  what  the  expense  amounts 
to  at  the  rate  of  40  cents  per  hour  for  each  laborer 
engaged  in  the  work,  and  appropriates  it  to  his  own 
use  ;  that  a  part  of  the  weighaole  merchandise  im- 
ported at  this  port,  and  which  ought  to  be  weighed, 
IS  not  weighed  at  all.  but  the  foreign  marks  of  weight 
on  the  package  are  copied  off,  and  these  memo- 
randa of  supposed  weights  are  then  put  into 
the  dock-book :  that  one  of  the  weighers  testified  that 
a  schedule  (appendix  M)  of  Irregular  fees  had  been 
adopted  by  the  "  Board  of  Weighers,"  to  make  these 
charges  uniform  whivh  they  illegally  collect  from 
merdiants,  shipowners  or  ^nts,  and  City  weighers, 
for  special  returns,  certltied  copies  of  returns,  ana 
other  certificates ;  that  the  weighers  frequently  delay 
to  make  returns  of  weight  to  the  Custom-houi^  until 
the  importer  pays  them  these  irregular  charges  for  a 
copy  of  their  return  of  weight. 

TBE  CUMBERLAND  CANAL. 

Cumberland,  Md.,  Aug.  21.— The  Canal 
Board  met  here  to-day,  and  adopted  the  follow- 
ing: 

Betolved,  That  the  President  be  and  he  is  hereby 
aulhorized  and  directed  to  give  notice  that  for  the  re- 
mainder of  this  season  the  tolls  and  wharfage  on  coal 
from  Cumberland  to  Georgetown  shall  he  reduced  25 
cents  a  ton. 

Sttohftdy  That  this  rednetlon  is  made  on  the  con- 
dition that  the  rates  of  freight  to  boatmen  be  mads 
at  the  tmiform  price  per  tou  of  90  cents  to  George- 
town and  95  cents  to  Alexandria,  and  that  in  the 
event  of  a  violation  of  this  understanding  the  I^esl- 
dent  is  authorixed  to  re-establlah  the  present  rata  of 
tol^ 

The  coal  companies  were  notifled.  but  what 
action  they  will  take  is  not  generally  known. 
Thirty-three  boats  were  sent  out  to-day.  Last 
nif^t  at  Borden's  Shaft  a  number  of  threatening 
notices  were  posted.  The  State  Attorney's  at- 
«««adou  was  o^i^  to  tha  mattar  to^lav.    The 


ShtM  irin  probably  offer  ft  lewird  for  the 
apprehension  of  the  raiscreanta.  The  notices 
created  considerable  feeling.

A  CONFERENCE  TO  BE  HELD  IN  WASHINGTON 
TERRITORY— GEN.  WHEATON'S  COMMAND 
AT  SPOKANE  FALLS— ANXIETY  REGARD- 
ING THE  RESULT  OP  THE  NEGOTIATIONS. 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Aug,  21.— The  fol- 
lowing has  just  been  received  from  Spokane 
Falls,  under  date  of  Aug.  15 :  **  Gen.  Wheaton's 
command  arrived  at  this  point  on  the  10th 
Inst.,  after  au  eight  day's  march  from  Lewiston, 
a  distance  of  105  miles.  The  command  in 
camp  at  this  point  numbers  530  men,  two  com- 
nanies  of  the  First  Cavalry,  10  companies  of  the 
Second  Infantry,  comprising  an  entire  regiment 
direct  from  Atlanta,  Ga.,  and  about  50  citizens, 
employes,  teamsters,  &c.  The  transportation 
consists  of  21  wagons,  all  hired  from  citizens- 
Capts,  Hancock,  Conrad,  Kroutinger.Cook,  Mills, 
Daggett,  Drum,  Keller,  Haines,  and  Falk  com- 
mand companies  of  the  Second  Inf  antr}*,  and  Capt 
Perry  and  Lieut.  Parnell  companies  of  cavalry. 
Capt.  Wilkinson,  Gen.  Howard's  aide  de  camp, 
is  here  to  assist  Col.  Wilkins  and  the  Indian  in- 
spectors in  the  settlement  of  affairs  with  the 
Indians  in  this  section.  Word  has  been  sent  to 
all  the  different  tribes  to  collect  at  this  point 
for  this  purpose.  They  are  coming  in  rapidly, 
and  large  numbers  attended  divine  service  in 
the  camp  yesterday.  Mr.  Simms.  Indian  Agent 
from  Colville.  90  miles  distant,  was  present. 
There  are  expected  to  be  nearly  100  chiefs  and 
head  men,  representing  the  following  tribes, 
present  at  the  coming  council :  Lakes.  Pend 
d'Orielles.  Colvilles,  Spokanes,  Coeur  d'Allens, 
San  Poueis,  Enespellems.  Methows.  Chalkanes. 
Auti-Atkas,  the  Moses  Band  or  Columbia  River 
Indians,  and  the  Okanagons,  amounting  in  all  to 
^{,517  men.  women,  and  children,  and  able  to 
furnish  1,500  warriors.  The  report  .says  ^ey 
are  not  well  armed.  The  above  numbers  are 
obtained  from  the  chiefs  actuallv  present."  and 
are  some  4O0  le>ts  than  the  census  of  1S71. 
There  has  been  no  actual  outbrcMik  among 
these  Indians,  but  since  the  war  commenced 
ther«)  has  been  manifest  uneasiness  among 
them,  and  many  instances  of  impudence 
on  their  part  are  reported  by  settiers. 
Four  Nez  Perces  T\"ere  put  in  the 
guard-house  this  morning,  supposed '  to 
be  connected  with  Hush  Hush  Cuit's  band, 
part  of  which  Is  with  Joseph.  It  is  thought 
they  kno'w  something  of  the  murder  of  the  old 
man  Ritchie,  and  the  robberies  perpetrated  on 
Pine  Creek  which  caused  all  the  settlers  in  that 
vicinity  to  leave  their  homes  several  weeks  ago. 
They  will  be  detained  until  it  is  ascertained 
positively  whether  they  are  guilty  or  not.  There 
IS  no  doubt  that  all  the  Indians  iu  this  section 
are  and  have  been  in  direct  communication  with 
Joseph,-  and  have  been  posted  several  days 
ahead  of  the  whites  of  eveiy  movement  of  Gen. 
Howard's  army,  and  in  case  of  Joseph's  success 
hundreds  of  young  men  would  uudoubtetUy 
have  joined  him.  although  the  old  Indians  who 
have  stock  and  farms  la  the  country  have  mani- 
fested a  desire  to  remain  at  peace.  There  is 
naturally  much  anxiety  felt  among  the  settler.-i 
as  to  the  result  of  the  coming  conference,  as 
they  fear  in  case  it  is  not  satisfactory  ta  the 
Indians,  and  the  troops  should  leave.  tKat  they 
would  have  to  abandon  their  hors*?s  and  leave 
to  the  savages  as  fine  an  agricultural  country  as 
there  is  in  Washington  Territory. 

Washington,  Aug.    21,— The  following  tele- 

fam  from  Gen.  Sheridan  was   received   at   the 
ar  Department  this  morning  : 

CuiCAUO.  .\nff.  20.  1877. 
To  Qtn.  E.  D.  Toicnaend,  Waihington,  D.  C..\ 

I  have  no  official  news  from  Montana  since  the 
17th  inst,  the  lines  from  Montana  being  down.  On 
the  Itith  the  Indians  were  reported  by  Capt.  Bain- 
brldge.  of  Fort  HaU,  as  having  crossed  the  stage  mad 
near  Dry  Creek  Station,  north  of  Hole  in  the  Bock, 
and  Gen.  Howard  was  not  far  behind  them  in  pursuit. 
To-day  an  unofficial  telegram  from  Snake  River 
Bridgereports  the  Indians' encamped  on  the  stage 
road  at  Hole  in  the  Rock.  But  little  confidence 
■hould  be  placed  in  this  report.

O  UILTT  OF  OBSTRUCTING  THE  MAILS. 

Philadelphia,  Penn.,   Aug.    22.— John 

Hunt  was  put  on  trial  here  to-day,  charged  with 
obstructing  the  passage  of  the  U'nited  States 
mail.  The  government  alleged  that  on  July 
20,  at  South  Easton,  the  defendant,  and  a  large 
number  of  others,  stopped  a  train  of  cars  on  the 
Lehigh  Valloy  Railroad,  to  which  a  mail  car 
containing  mail  matter'w^s  attached,  and  that 
defendant  said  that  by  order  of  a  committee  the 
train  could  not  go  on.  The  defendant  produced 
a  telegram,  which  he  had  sent  to  the  Postmaster- 
Genend  during  the  strike,  stating  that  though 
the  strikers  had  offered  the  company  the  use  of 
an  engine  and  mail  car  to  carry  the'  mails,  they 
had  refused  to  carry  them.  Judge  Cadwallader 
charged  tho  jury,  saying  that  the  regulation  of 
the  carrying  of  the  mails  was  a  matter  for  the 
General  (Government,  and  not  for  private  per- 
sons. The  jury  found  the  prisoner  guilty,  and 
he  was  remanded  for  sentence. 

Prilaobphia,  Aug.  21. — James  Bennett  and 
William  Weiss  were  also  charged  with  a  similar 
offense  at  South  Easton  on  .hily  27,  and  were 
also  found  guilty.  Sentence  in  all  three  cases 
was  deferred.

THE  MYSTERIOUS  FORGERS. 


SMALL-POX  IN  CHICAGO. 
Chicago,  HI.,  Aug.  21. — Commissioner  of 
Health  De  Wolf  has  issued  an  order  requiring 
that  all  adults  who  have  not  been  successfully 
vaccinated  within  a  period  of  10  years,  and  all 
children  between  the  agea  of  10  and  15,  shall 
be  vaccinated  forthwith.  The  prevalence  of 
small-pox  iu  certain  oftiie  most  squalid  por- 
tions of  the  city,  and  the  determination  to  pre- 
vent its  spread,  are  the  reasons  for  the  order. 
The  ConuDi  ssi  oner,  says  that  over  40  cases  have 
baen  resorted  since  June  L 


THE  STORT  OF  THEIR  ARREST. 

THEIR  WHEREABOUTS  STILL  KEPT  A  PBO- 
FOUND  SECRET— THE  AUTHORITIES  PRO- 
FESS ENTIRE  lONORAKCE — FURTHER  PAR- 
TICULARS OF  THSIB  CAPTURE— A  CURI- 
OUS CASE. 

The  whereabouts  of  the  gang  of  forgers  az^ 
rested  in  Chicago  and  Michigan,  and  said  to  have 
been  brought  to  this  City,  was  kept  a  profoimd  mys- 
tery yesterday.  Mr.  Jayne  declined  to  be 
interviewed  on  the  subject,  saying  that  when 
the  proper  time  comes  ha  will  be  happy 
to  give  the  fullest  information  to  the  press. 
At  Police  Head-qiuuters  the  authorities  professed  to 
DO  in  the  profonndest  Ignorance,  and  at  Ludlow- 
Street  JaU  a  similar  lack  of  knowledge  existed. 
Mr.  Wheelor  H.  Peekham.  counsel  for  the  Union 
Trust  Company,  said  that  he  knew  very  little  about 
the  matter,  and  that  little  he  would  not  telL  Later 
toformlteon  from  Chicago  sayi  that  the  parties  who 
worked  m>  the  case  in  addition  to  Mr.  Jayne  were 
CoL  E.  H.  Austin,  of  Vover,  N.  H.,  and  S.  H.  Car- 
ney, of  this  City,  both  business  men  eonnected  with 
New- York  banks.  They  arrived  in  Chicmgo  „  about 
four  months  ago,  and  since  that  time  have  traveled 
all  over  the  United  States  securing  eridence 
against  the  various  persons  connected  with  the 
forgeries.  They  discovered  that  the  chief  of  the 
gang  was  a  person  with  100  names — sometimes 
called  Stephens,  sometimes  £.  J.  Henderson— a 
man  of  wealth  and  apparent  respectability, 
whose  business  was  that  of  a  speculator,  ox>erat- 
Ing  sometimes  in  com,  sometimes  In  cattie,  some- 
times In  stocks.  He  was  evidently  a  man  of  means, 
for  his  check  was  good  for  $50,000  at  Kew-York 
banks,  and  his  resxiectabillty  was  further  vonch^ 
for  by  an  excellent  family.  Next  to  him  came  a  man 
by  the  name  of  Nelson  A.  Gesner,  a  resident  of  Min- 
nesota, who  had  represented  his  district  in  the  State 
Legislature,  and  who  was  also  wealthy  and  of  good  fam- 
ily. In  the  course  of  their  investigations  they  found 
that  a  man  by  the  name  of  Ely  B.  Weston,  living  at 
No.  1,026  Wilcox-avenne,  Chicago,  who  was  at  one 
time  a  real  estate  agent,  and  who  afterward  kept  a 
horse  auction-room  at  No.  198  Wash- 
ington-street, was  one  of  the  gang,  and 
had  been  used  by  Stephens  or  Henderson 
and  Gesner  for  their  purposes.  It  was  necessary  for 
the  gang  frequently,  when  operating  in  a  city,  to 
have  a  person  of  apparent  respectability  whose  busi- 
ness it  was  to  vouch  at  a  bank  for  the  individual  who 
deposited  for  collection,  or  presented  for  payment, 
a  raised  draft  or  a  spurious  check.  That  part  was 
played  in  Chicago  by  Weston.  Early  in  February  a 
man  by  the  name  of  T.  J.  Henderson  opened  an 
account  with  the  Third  National  Bank,  Chicago.  He 
was  vouched  for  by  Weston.  He  deposited 
money  and  checked  it  out,  always  keeping 
a  satisfactory  balance  on  hand  One  day  he 
deposited  a  couple  of  drafts  purporting  to  have  been 
drawn  by  the  First  National  Bank  of  Milwaukee,  one 
for  $U,  500  on  the  First  National  Bank  of  Chicago, 
and  the  other  for  $2,300  on  the  Union  National. 
The  Third  sent  them  to  the  Clearing-house,  whence 
they  went  to  the  banks  on  which  they  were  drawn, 
and  were  by  them  accepted.  After  that  had  been 
done,  Henderson  checked  against  the  amount  which 
was  then  In  depo!iit  on  the  Third  National,  and 
drew  out  all  tho  money  except  about  $200.  At  the 
end  of  the  month,  when  the  Milwaukee  Bank  settled 
its  accounts  with  its  Chicjigo  correspondents,  it  was 
discovered  tlial  the  drafts  had  been  raised.  Subse- 
quently suit  was  brought  by  the  First  and  Unron 
against  the  Third  to  recover  the  amount  of  the  for- 
ger^' ;  hut  the  general  drift  of  all  the  opinions  seems 
to  be  tliat.  under  the  circumstances,  the  Third  is  not 
resttonaible. 

The  object  of  the  officers  being  to  secure  the  sim- 
ultaneous arrest  of  all  these  parties,  a  great  deal  of 
flnessine  was  necessary,  as  Stephens  was  continuallv 
migrating  from  point  to  point.  There  were  various 
times  when  the  detectives  were  almost  on  the  point 
of  pouncing  down  upon  their  victims.  An  operator 
accompanied  Gesner  once  for  two  or  three  w1*eks, 
was  with  him  at  Minneapolis,  and  occupied  the  room 
adjoining  his,  but  did  not  dare  to  touch 
his  man  for  fear  of  inability  to  have  Ste- 
phens and  one  two  other  parties  arrested 
at  the  same  moment.  Finally,  however,  things  drew 
toward  a  fot'.us.  About  the  middle  of  last  month 
Special  Agent  Jayne  turned  up  at  the  Grand  Pacific, 
Cnicago,  where  he  registered  as  J.  Howard,  and  re- 
main^ there  from  >  that  time  antll  Saturday.  Not 
long  after  that  3.  H  Carney,  sometimes  called 
"  Doctor."  turned  up.  and  also  installed  himself  at 
the  Pacific  in  an  adjoining  room.  A  few  days  after 
CHiue  Austin.  On  the  30th  of  July  war- 
rants were  sworn  out  for  the  arrest  of 
Gunser  and  Weston.  ■  Decoy  letters  had 
been  written  to  the  former,  who  was  then 
near  St.  Paul,  and  acting  on  them  he  camo  down  to 
Chicago  Thursday  and  registered  at  the  Pacific.  On 
the  l7th  of  July  Carney  started  for  Micliigan.  In- 
telligence had  t»een  received  that  Stephens  had  left 
Rahway.  where  he  had  been  stepping,  and  had  gone 
with  fiis  family  to  a  place  near  Detroit  for 
the  purpose  of  spendiuK  a  few  of  the  Sum- 
mer weeks.  It  was  decided,  after  consulta- 
tion, to  strike  the  blow  Thursday.  The  first  man 
gicked  np  was  Gesner.  who  was  arrested  at  his 
otel.  The  warrants  had  Tjeen  placed  in  the  hands 
of  Constable  Hartman  for  the  reason  that  h^  waa  a 
stout,  rough  fellow,  ready  to  knock  down  and  drag 
out,  and  who,  it  was  expected,  would  not  stick  at 
anybody.  It  had  been  expected  that  resistance 
would  be  offered,  because  the  arrestingparties  had  no 
requisitions.  The  reason  for  coming  unprovided 
with  these  documents  was  that  there  was  a  leak 
in  the  District  Attorney's  ofQce.  What  it  was  no 
one  was  able  to  find  out,  but  It  was  certain 
that  application  made  tjiere  for  requisitions  for  any 
of  these  parties  would  huve  come  to  their  ears  in  a 
very  short  time.  There  was  no  such  trouble  at 
Springfield,  but  '.here  was  a  fear  that  an  appli.^aiion 
tliere  might  result,  through  some  inadvertence,  in 
something  getting  out.  But.  contrary  to  the  expecta- 
tion, Gesner  made  no  resistance  whatever.  He  took 
the  intelligence  with  the  utmost  quietuos-s,  nut 
a  muscle  of  his  face  cliauged.  and  he  walked 
off  to  the  room  which  was  temporarily  assigned 
him  as  indifferent  and  as  good-natured  ns  if  he  were 
going  to  a  card-party,  west  .n  had  been  invited 
down  to  the  Sherman  House.  His  arrest  came  very 
near  miscarrying.  Hartman  had  been  told  to  l>e  at  a 
certain  point  at  a  certain  time,  and  there  to  pickup 
an  individual  wlio  would  be  pointed  out  to  him. 
But  ,1ust  about  that  time  he  wamiered  off  for  a 
few  moments,  and  came  within  an  ace  of  juissing 
Ills  man.  LuckUy,  his  negligence  did  not  result  as 
badly  as  it  might,  and  Weston,  too.  was  arrested  and 
taken  to  the  Pacific,  There  the  two  men  were  kept 
in  close  confinement  from  Thursday  until  Saturday. 
Their  rooms  were  changed  at  brief  intervals,  and 
they  themselves,  by  niirbt  and  by  day,  were  kept 
handcuffed  and  chained  to  the  bedposts. 
,It  is  alleged  that  Steplums  and  Gesner  have  been 
working  together  for  nearly  10  years,  and  have  dur- 
ing that  time  plundered  banks  to  an  amount  extend- 
ing into  millions.  Neither  of  them  has  ever  been  ar- 
rested before,  and  neither  has  been  suspected. 

The  arrest  of  these  two  men  In  Chicj^o  was  thus 
safely  accomplished.  But  the  parties  managing  it 
were"  in  great  trepidation  until  they  heard  from,  Ste- 
nhens.  Carney,  as  stated,  went  to  Michigan  on  the 
12th  of  July.  He  retnmed  on  the  ISth,  and 
last  Friday,  having  learned  where  his  man  Was, 
went  thither  again.  They  were  a&aid  that  this 
suspicious  and  wily  individual  wonld  hear  in 
some  inconceivable  way  of  what  had  happened 
to  his  assochites,  and  would  slip  out  of  their  hands. 
But  abont  D:15  on  Saturday  they  learned  that 
he  had  been  quietly  captured  and  was  on  his  way 
to  New- York,  So  thev  took  their  prisoners  and 
rushed  off  for  the  Michigan  Southern  train,  which 
they  barely  ma<ie.  Both  Weston  and  Gesner  went 
quietly.  Each  declined  to  make  any  fuss,  or  to  wait 
fur  a  requisition,  stating  that  it  was  a  dead  clear 
thing  on  them,  and  that  there  was  no  particular 
object  In  making  a  fight. 

Saratoga,  >.  Y..  Aug.  21.— A  Times  reporter 
had  an  interview  %^ith  a  prominent  ex-detective  last 
night  in  regard  to  the  forger  Gesner,  arrested  in 
Chicago  on  Saturday.  Before  retiring  from  the  de- 
tective business'the  former  hafl  been  instrumental  in 
^tracing  the  antecedents  of  Gesner,  wlio  Is 
known  as  CoL  Nelson  A  Gesner,  and  used 
to  reside  in  this  City.  He  was  Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel of  the  Mozart  Regiment  that  went  to 
the  war,  and  is  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  moat  skill- 
ful forgers  yet  brought  to  bay.  The  ex-detective  had 
arrest^  Geaner  when  he  was  a  youth,  on  suspicion  of 
forgery  on  a  bank  In  Nassau-street,  but  he  was  short- 
ly after  discharged  for  want  of  evidence.  He  had 
also  arrested  Charles  Gesner.  his  brother,  for  altering 
and  forging  checks  in  Baltimore,  but  he  is  now  dead. 
The  ex^etective  In  question  had  communicated  with 
District  Attorney  Phelps  and  Mr.  Henry  Knox,  of  the 
firmof  Fullerton,  Knoi&  Co.,  Equitable  Building,  who 
employed  him  oi>on  the  case,  aud  says  he  is  not  at  lib- 
erty to  say  anything  about  it  without  permission 
from  Mr.  fenox'  Sergt.  Keely,  of  the  Detective 
Office,  has  arrested  one  Sprague,  who  was  formerly 
a  respectable  man  doing  business  on  the  street,  but 
who  has  since  been  eonnected  with  questionable 
traniactions  with  Gesner  and  others.

TEE  DEATH  OF  MR.  J.   H.  MACKEY. 


no  XTIDENCS  on  WHICH  TO  BASE  THE  THEORY 
OF  UURDER— BELIEF  THAT  HIS  DEATH 
WAS  ACCIDENTAL— HIS  STRANGE  AC- 
TIONS. 

SpeeialDi^akliteaeKem-TorkTima. 
Cincinnati,  Aug.  21.— Detectives  have 
been  at  work  to-day  tracing  the  causes  that  led 
to  the  death  of  J.  H.  Mackey,  the  Brooklyn 
attorney.  Evidence  has  been  found  showing 
that  while  in  Cincinnati  and  Covington 
he  was  laboring  under  an  hallucination. 
He  Imagined  that  he  was  being  pursued  by  in- 
visible persons,  and  was  "constantly  hurrying 
from  place  to  place.  In  visiting  tho 
spot  to-day  where  his  body  was  fotind, 
one  of  the  detectives  tripped  on  a 
root  and  fell  to  the  ground.  A 
further  examination  of  the  place  revealed  a 
sharp  stone  near  the  spot  where  the  head  of  the 
dead  man  lav.  Cpon  these  facts  the  Po- 
lice have  based  the  theory  that  his 
death  was  the  result  of  an  accident ; 
that  he  was  hurrying  awav  from  his  imaginary 
pursuers,  when  he  stumbled  and  fell  in  the 
thicket  fracturing  his  skull.  Par  fetched  as 
this  theory  may  seem  to  be,  it  is 
the  most  i>lausu>le  one  thus  far  ad- 
vanced. There  is  absolutely  nothing 
upon  which  the  theory  of  murder  or  suicide  can 
be  based.  The  case,  owing  to  its  mysterious 
features,  is  exciting  much  interest  here.  The 
detectives  hope,  in  a  day  or  two.  to  obtain  some 
more  definite  clue. 


The  Brooklyn  Police  are  btisily  engaged  in 
the  investigation  of  the  mystery  connected  with  the 
death  of  J.  H.  Mackey,  whose  body  was  found  re- 
centiy  near  Newport,  Ky.  During  their  investiga- 
tions yesterday  they  learned  that  the  deceased  has  an 
uncle  who  is  a  Catholic  priest  iu  Ogdonsburg,  K.  Y., 
and  that  he  himself  had  originally  studied  for  the 
priesthood.  He  was  known  to  have  had  abont 
$500  in  money  and  a  gold  watch  in  his  pos- 
session when  he  left,  and  upon  his  body  when 
found  were  $155  in  money,  but  no  watch.  Thus 
far  the  investigations  of  the  Police  have  estab- 
lished the  fact  that  to  all  appearances  Mr.  Mackev 
left  New-York  for  the  West  alone.  He  left  his 
boarding-house  on  Tuesday.  July  31,  and  spent  the 
day  at  Coney  Island.  The  next  trace  of  him  was  at 
abont  2  o'clock  on  tho  following  Thursday  afternoon, 
when  he  wat  seen  in  this  City.  The  following  dis- 
patch was  rec«i\-ed  at  the  Brooklyn  Police  Head- 
quarters last  evening :

C  W.  WINSLOW.  Coroner. 

Thus,  it  anpears  that  the  Newport  authorities  have 
abandoned  the  case  and  interred  the  body,  without 
even  the  formality  of  a  jKrst-mortem  examiiiation,  on 
the  "snnposition  '  that  the  man  was  murdered.  In- 
spector Waddy,  however,  is  not  satisfied  with  the 
way  the  case  li  disnosed  of,  and  is  personally  in  favor 
of  further  investigation.  He  says,  however,  that  the 
matter  is  in  the  hands  of  the -Commissioners. 


LOSSES  BY  FIRE. 


A  MONTREAL  GRAIN  ELEVATOR  DESTROYED 
— LOSS  ABOUT  $50,000. 
About  2  o'clock  yesterday  morning  a  fire  broke 
out  in  the  upper  story  of  James  McDougall  &  Co.  's 
large  grain  elevator,  adjoining  their  flour  mills,  on 
the  canal  bank,  Wellington  Bridge,  Montreal.  The 
whole  fixe  brigade  waa  summoned  to  the  scene  of 
action  after  some  delay,  and  when  it  arrived  the 'fire 
had  made  considerable  progress.  In  a  short  time  the 
elevator  and  the  whole  of  the  two  upper  floors  of  tho 
storehouse  facing  the  river  were  given  up  to  the 
fiamcs,  the  fire  having  a  very  strong  hold  on  the 
eastern  side  of  the  quadrangle  which  forms  a  portion 
of  the  mill.  In  this  part  a  laive  quantity  of  w^heat 
WHS  stored.  The  great  heieht  of  the  building  was  an 
obstacle  to  the  subduing  of  the  fiames,  as  the  water 
pressure  was  not  suflicic-nt  to  throw  a  stream  to  the 
top.  It  was  only  when  the  steam  tiro  engines  bad  ar- 
rived, after  the  fiames  had  made  such  headway,  that 
effective  work  could  be  done.  The  fire  burned  from 
the  top  of  the  elevator  down  to  the  lower  flats. 
About  J:30  the  wall  between  McDougall's  elevator 
and  Peck,  Benny  &  Co.  s  factory  fell  iu  and 
created  ereat  consternation.  The  exterior  of  the 
mill  and  storehouse  was  substantially  built  of 
stone  and  brick,  but  the  interior  was  a  mass  of 
timber,  which,  of  course,  fed  the  flames.  Ow- 
ing to  the  substantial  stone  walls  around 
Peok,  Benny  &  Co.'s  foundry,  it  escaped  with 
little  damage.  The  fire,  notmthstanding  all  tho 
efforts  of  the  firemen,  spread  rapidiy.  and,  tho  ueigh- 
b<trhood  being  covered  with  mills  and  factories,  the 
fiames  caught  the  extensive  fiour  mills  of  Ira  Gonld 
&  Sons,  known  as  the  City  Mills.  These  large  prem- 
ises, with  a  heavy  stock  of  grain,  were  reduced  to 
ashes.  The  fire  was  got  under  coutrol  abont  5  o'clock. 
McDougall's  mill  has  not  suffered  material  damage, 
and  the  loss  on  the  elevator  and  storehouse,  including 
the  stock  of  wheat,  will  not  exceed  $50,0U0.  Ira 
Gould  &  Sons^  lo^  on  their  flouring  mill  iS'  light,  tho 
damage  beuig  confined  to  the  roofr'$2.O00  will 
amply  cover  it.  Peck,  Bennv  &  Co.'s  loss  will  prob- 
ably not  Gxoei:^  $3,000.  Mcbougnlls  premises  were 
insured  in  the  Stadacuna  for  .$5.tM)0.  the  Queen  for 
$5,000,  the  National  for  $3,OO0.  the  Citizens'  for 
$0,000,  the  Royal  of  England  for  $5.OO0.  the  Lan- 
cashire for  $5.0O0,  tho  London  Assurance  not  dcfin- 
itclv  ascertoiiAed,  but  for  more  than  $5.0O0  ;  the 
Royal  Canadian  for  $12,000,  $4,000  of  which  U 
re-insnred  in  the  North  British  and  Mercantile,  and 
$2,000  in  the  Liverpool  aud  London  and  Globe. 
Peck,  Benny  &  Co.  are  Insured  in  the  Royal  Cana- 
dian and  the  Liverpool  and  Loudou  and  Globe  for 
$2,000  each.

Gabdiner.  Me..  Aug.  21. — The  bed-slat  fac- 
tory of  W.  H.  Moore  &  Co.  at  Gardiner.  Me.,  was 
burned  yesterday;  loss,  $5,000:  insurance,  $1,500. 

The  Svstem  is  often  so  rapidly  reduced  by  a 
severe  attack  of  diarrhea  or  other  affection  of  the 
bowels  as  to  get  almost  beyond  the  reach  of  medicine 
before  the  patient  can  realize  the  necessity  of  look- 
ing about  him  for  a  remedy.  Better  keephy  you  Dr. 
Jatnb's  Caeminattvk  Balsa  V,  a  safe  curative  for 
Asiatic  cholera,  cramps,  dysentery.  &c..  and  thus  be 
prudently  prepared  to  treat  those  complaints  on  their 
first  appearance. — Advertisement.

1.  TuiSDAY.'Atig.  21— P.  M. 

vr  The  stock  market  was  strong  and  aoUye 
on  the  early  dealings,  -with  IVeatem  Union  as 
the  leading  feature  of  speculation.  Shortly  after 
the '  opening,  however,  a  desire  to  realize  ■mm 
nuwifested,  and,  under  a  pressure  to  sell,  the 
general  list  yielded,  and  a  sharp  decline  en- 
Sfued.  ^  Western  Union  was  an  exception,  heing 
very  firmly  held,  and  advanced  to  821^,  when 
the  handsome  profits  accruing  from  the  recent 
upward  movement  offered  attractions  to  some 
of  the  hulls  which  were  not  to  be  resisted,  and, 
under  the  sales  which  followed,  the  price  re- 
ceded to  8078.  Subsequently,  there  was  a 
rally  to  8 17g,  followed  by  a  decline  to  >  79 14, 
with  a  lecovery'oI^iQ  ¥'  cent,  at  (he  dose,  i  Dur- 
ing the  afternoon  rantors  were  afloat  that  some 
of  the  stockholders  of  'the  Atiantio  land  Paelfls 
Telegraph  .  were  about  to  institat«  .  legal 
proceedings  '  with  a  '  view '  to  prevent  the 
.carrying  out  <>  of  the  agreement  V  entered 
into  •  last  -  evening  a  by  the  i  joint  <»  com- 
mittee representing  that  company  and  Western 
Union ;  but  these  rumors  could  not  be  traced  to 
any  reliable  source,  and  were  doubtless  put  out 
for/stock-jobbiag  pTirposes.  -The  coal  shares 
were  noticeably  weak  througheut  the  day,  and 
recorded  a  decline  of  1  to  3%  V  cent,  the  latter 
in  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  Western.  The 
trunk  line  shares  and  the  Granger  stocks  shared 
in  the  depression,  and  at  intervals  were  freely 
pressed  for  sale.  Th»  entire  market  was  weak 
and  unsettled  in  the  final  dealingit 
-*  The !  total  transactions  reached  20e,46iJ 
shares,  which  embraced  59,813  Western  Union,

and  930  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph. 

Western  Union  advanced  from  81  to  82^4, 
fell  off  to  8078,  recovered  to  81 7g,  declined  to 
79 14,  and  finally  rallied  to  7934.  Lake  Shore

and  dropped  to  5813.  Delaware,  Lackawanna 
and  Western  fell  off  from  50  to  4678,  and  dosed 
at  47.|  North-western  common  rose  from  28  to 
2834,  '«md  declined  to  27.'»  The  preferred  fell 
off  from ''5813  to  57 14.  "  New- York  "Central 
opened  strong  at  100  %,  but  subseqoently  sold 
down  to  98^  a  Michigan  Central  declined  from 
6368  to  51^  I' St  Paul  common  felt  off  from 
27I2  to  2718,  and  the :  preferred  from  64%  to

to  48,  recovered  to  49,  and  finally  sold 
at  :  4712-  Kock  -■  Island  fell  off  from 
991a  to  9334.  New-Jersey  Gientral  opened  at 
20,  against  19i8  at  the  close  yesterday,  and  de- 
clined to  171a.  t  Quicksilver  advanced  from 
I9I2  to  20,  and  preferred  from  33  to  35,  but 
closed  at  a  reduction  of  1  ^cent.  -  Pacific  Mall 
feU  off  from  2338  to  2238,  and  rallied  to  23. 
Morris  and  Essex  dropped  from.  TSlj  to  74.

and  Mississippi  fell  off  from  47g  to  4I4.  Han- 
nibal and  St.  Joseph  rose  to  I2I2,  and  preferred 
to  28I4,  but  the  former  afterward  declined  to 
1134,  and  the  latter  to  26 14. .  American  Dis- 
trict Telegraph  advanced  from  24  to  25.  At- 
lantic and  Pacific  Telegraph  declined  from  20

at  2634^27,  and  Chicago,  Burlington  and 
.Quincy  at  103. 

■  The  money  market  was  rather  active  early  in 
the  da^  at  4% 5  ^  cent,  on  call,  but  toward  the 
close  the  offerings  increased  and  the  rates 
dropped  to  2^21^^  ^  cent.  The  market  has  a 
hardening  tendency,  and  higher  rates  are  natu- 
rally looked  for  in  consequence  of  the  currency 
movement  to  the  interior  for  crop  purposes  and 
the  increased  wants  of  mercantile  borrowers  in 
connection  with  the  preparations  for  the 
Fall  trade.  The  ;  recent  sharp  advance 
In  prices  on  the  Stock  >  Exchange,  which 
increased  the  speculative  demand  for 
money,  has  also  had  a  tendency  to  stiffen  rates. 
Prime  mercantile  paper  is  quoted  at  41^  to  O^a 
¥"  cent,  with  few  tranaactions,  however,  below 
5  f  cent  The  National  Bank  notes  received 
at  Washington  for  redemption  to-dsy  were 
$370,000,  Customs  receipts  $370,000,  »nd 
revenue  receipts  $200,000.  The  following  were 
the  rates  of  exchange  on  New- York  at  the  un- 
dermentioned cities  to-day  :  Savannah,  buying 
ig,  selling  I4 ;  Charleston  dull  and  scarce ;  Cin- 
cinnati heavy,  buying  1-10  off,  selling  par; 
St  Louis,  par;  New-Orleans^  commercial  3-16 
•3^4,  bank  ^fw^e,  and  Chicago,  73  to  80  dis- 
count. 

<  The  foreign  advices  reported  a  steady  market 
at  London  for  Consols,  whi(?h  sold  throughout 
the  day  at  the  closing  quotation  of  yesterday, 
namely,  95  Sg  for  both  money  and  the  account 
United  States  bonds  were  firm,  showing  a  slight 
advance  in  some  instances,  and  closing  at  lOD^ 
for  new  4I2S,  107  for  1867s,  lOglafor  10-40s, 
and  IO7O8  for  new  5s.  The  upward  course 
pursued  by  Erie  for  the  past  few  days  was  in- 
terrupted to-day  and  the  price  declined  1  f 
cent,  for  both  common  and  preferred,  the 
former  closing  at  lOis  and  the  latter  at  20. 
Illinois  Central  also  fell  oB  1  9'  cent,  to  60, 
while  New-York  Central  rose  from  96  to  98. 
The  Bank  of  England  lost  bullion  to  the  amount 
of  £10,000  on  balance.  At  Paris,  Bentes  were 
Una  and  closed  at  106f.  25c. 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  weak. 
The  nominal  rates  'were  reduced  to  ^  83  for 
bankers'  60-day  bills,  and  to  $4  85  for  demand, 
with  actual  business  at  about  $4  82  and  $4  84. 
The  demand  is  still  very  limited,  partly  becaase 
of  the  expectation  that  on  account  of  the  nearer 
approach  of  the  cotton  season  cheaper  rates 
will  prevail  in  the  early  future. 

The  Gold  speculation  was  heavy,  the  price 
making  a  further  decline.  The  opening  sales 
were  at  105,  but  a  decline  followed  to  104%, 
the  final  transactions  being  at  104  7g,  at  which 
'the  bulk  of  tile  day's  business  was  done.  Co 
Gold  loans  the  rates  ranged  f!rom  1  ¥  cent,  per 
annnm  to  1-64  V  cent,  per  diem  for  nse. 

Government  bonda  were  ^  to  I3  9  cent, 
lower,  the  greatest  decline  having  been  in  6s 
of  1881,  1867s,  and  new  5s.  The  decline  in- 
dneed  freer  offerings,  and  the  btuiness  was 
much  Itl^geT  than  usoaL  Railroad  bonds  irere 
leas  active  tjiian  yesterday,  the  tranraetlons  foot-

OF  BOTH  COVP^X!]^ 

The'  terms  ^of  t&p  asreement  between  the 
Wftstem  Union  and.'PacUle  Telegraph  ComDviies, 
which  was  effected  at  a  session  of  the  Joint  Conunit- 
tee  on  Monday  night,  were  not  gtren  for  publication 
yesterdar.  President  Orton,  o£  the  Western  Union 
Comimnf.  when  qaesUonod  by  a  reporter  of  Ths 
T1ME8,  declsired  that  it  was  not  a  matter  in  which  the 
public  could  be  concerned  in  tny  way.  Mr.  Eekert,' 
""President  of  the  Atlantic  and  F^Kiflc  Company,  was 
more  commanlaattTa>  He  had  not,  he  ^d,  been  fur- 
nished with  a  copy  of  the  agreement,  wikich  is  still  in 
the  hands  of  the  Joi^t  Committee.  He  denied 
the  statement  that  the  holders  of  minority  shares 
would  suffer  by  the  trausaction,-4»eing  convinced  that 
It  wonld  necessarily  be  a  me&sore  of  protection  to  all 
shareholders.  The  Atlantic  and  Pacific  is  to  receive 
I210  per  cent,  of  the  gross  eaminKS  of  both  com- 
poniefi.  The  stockholders  will  be  better  off  than  be- 
rore,  from  the  fact  that  they  will  probably  pet  from 
3  to  -t  per  cent,  per  annam  on  the  par  value  of  their 
stock.  It  will  nu^e  the  stock  of  the  company  dividend- 
pAying.  which  it  was  not  before  the  agreement  was 
effected.  Im  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Eokert,  the  Atlantic 
and  Pocifle  could  never  have  paid  dividends  under 
the  competition  which  has  been  goiof  on,  or  if  it 
could  they  would  certainly  not  be  ©qujil  to  those 
which  can  be  got  from  the  newsrraneement.  He  did 
not  believe  that  the  sale  of  71,000  shares  of  the  At- 
lantic and  Pacific  stock  by  Messrs.  Sage  and  Keeneto 
^r.  Vandorbilt  had  any  connection  with  the  sgree- 
xnent  entered  into  between  the  two  companies.  The 
(Combination  will  necessarily  result  in  a  very  lance 
diminution  of  the  forces  employed  by  both  compa- 
nies. For  instanc£.  in  small  country  towns  where  both 
companieK  have  established  offices,  the  one  having 
the  least  facilitiesfor  communication  will  be  closed. 
If  an  Atlantic  and  Pacific  office  has  facilities  stiperlor 
to  those  possessed  by  the  Western  Union  office,  the 
former  will  be  continued  and  the  latter  will  be 
closed.  The  same  role  v^W  be  applicable  to  the 
offices  in  this  and  other  lar^fe  cities. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Western  Union  Company  yesterday  m^omlBg,  the 
proceedines  and  action  of  the  Joint  Committee  at  the 
Windsor  Hotel  were  ratified,  and  the  contract  was 
placed  on  the  records-  The  officials  of  both  compa- 
nies interested  do  not  think  that  the  rates  will  ad- 
vance much  above  the  present  grades.  By  an  exer- 
cise of  moderate  economy,  it  is  thought  the  Western 
L-'nion  Company  can  even  retain  Its  old  rates.  The 
members  of  the  Joint  Committee  were  not  disposed  to 
b<3  communicative  yesterday  regarding  the  terms  of 
the  oontroct.  _"

aecret  and  made  norreeord  of.  It  appears  that  the 
company  never  paid  a  claim  without  first  contesting 
}U  and  many  of  those  discovered  by  the  Receiver 
date  back  as  far  as  1868.  When  the  company  made 
Us  report  in  Jannar?-  the  unpaid  looses  were  put  at 
^6.660.  Mr.  Lawrence,  "as  far  as  he  has  gone," 
JBnds  the  death  claims  amoant  to  $107,000.  The 
Baperintendent,  in -i.  his  repcdt,  and  upon  which 
t  Receiver  was  ^  appointed,  did  not  give 
anything  like  a  true  statement  of  the 
condition  of  the  company.  The  President 
af  the  Popular  .Life,  in  his  report,  for  instance,  placed

There  will  probably  be  an  addition  to  this  sum  of 
975,000  return  dividend?  paid  to  storkbolders,  and 
which  were  not  earned  by  the  conjpany.  The  Re- 
ceiver stated  his  intention  of  beginning  suits  for  the 
recovery  of  the  money.  The  stockholders,  however, 
have  consented  to  return  the  dividends,  and  Mr. 
Lawrence  expects  to  obtain  the  money  withont  resort 
to  leKol  measures.  The  unpaid  premiums  nuw  amount 
to  $13,000,  and  If  these  are  not  paid  Mr.  Lawrence 
calculates'  upon  saving  abont^.  $60,000  In 
liabitities  on  the  policies  in  qnesttnn. 
The  Receiver's  latest  researches  prove  conclusively 
that  the  company  was  insolvent  in  1872,  and  this 
p  fact  is  apparent  npcn  the  most  casual  examination  of 
the  company's  statement  made  In  that  year.  One 
verj-  absurd  item  that  year  is  in  rezard  to  loans, 
as  follows:  ''Loans  made,  $9,600.'  In  the  asset 
column  is  found,  'Interest  dne  on  loans.  $6,000." 
TThns  the  interest  due  amounted  to  two-thirds  of  the 
principal. 

SVICLDE  IN  BROOKLTN, 

k  DISCOURAGED  LABORING  UAS  BLEEDS  HIM- 
SELT  TO  DEATH-  AT  THE  EXTKAKCE  TO 
PROSPECT  PARK. 
A  report  was"  made  at  the  Tenth  Precinct 
Station-house,  in  Pearsall-street,  near  Flatbush- 
avenue.  Brooklyn,  yesterday  morning,  that  the  dead 
!body  of  a  man  had  been  found  at  the  main  entrance 
to  Prospect  Park.  An»oflIcer  was  at  once  sent  to  the 
«pot  indicated,  and  the ,  body  was  removed  to  the 
iMoTgue  in  Willonghby-street.  It  was  that  of  a  man, 
apparently  a  German,  about  50  years  of  age,  and 
idressed  in  the  coarse  clothing  of  a  laboring  man, 
consisting  of  a  well-worn « black  felt  hat,  coarse 
shoes,  woolen  stockings/*-  and  dark  clothing. 
In  one  of  his  pockets  was  ■  found  a  receipt 
for  dues  on  policy  No,  '  46,396  of  the 
Provident  Society  of  the  City  of  New- York,  and  also 
a  receipt,  made  out  la  the  name  of  J.  Stetk,  for  one 
month's  rent  of  apartments  in  the  premises  No.  143 
Sackett-stroet,  Brooklyn,  for  the  month  of  Novem- 
■ber,  1876.  In  another  pocket  were  found  a  large 
.pocket-knife,  a  pair  of  spectacles,  and  other  artwles, 
"and  by  his  side  lay  a  bloody  razor,  while  his  left,  arm 
was  lying  in  a  pool  of  blood.  Searching  for  the  cause 
of  this,  the  officers  found  a  deep  gash,  about  an  inch 
In  length,  on  the  inside  of  his  left  arm,  near  the  el- 
bow, which  entirely  severed  the  main  artery,  and 
through  which  the  life  blood  had  evidently  flowed  iu 
a  rapid  stream ;  and  so  determined  had  the  snicide 
been  in  the  accomplishment  of  his  purpose  that  he 
had  wound  a  fish-line  around  his  left  wrist  and  tightly 
bound  the  arteries,  so  as  to  stop  the  flow  of  the 
blood  and  force  it  to  return  to  the  apetXure  which  he 
hud  made  for  its  exit. 

Although  the  body  was  discovered  and  the  report 
lent  to  the  station-house  early  in  the  day,  at  3:30 
o'clock  no  word  had  been  sent  from  the  3'enth  Pre- 
cinct to  Police  Hear-iuarters,  and  when  Inspector 
Waddy  caused  a  telegram  to  be  sent  to  Sergt. 
McNamam*,  who  i»  in  cnaree  of  the  precinct  in  the 
absence  of  Capt.  Campbell,  ne  was  informed  that  they 
knew  nothing  about  the  case.  He  immediotely  ordered 
the  vigilant  Wergeant  to  make  an  investigation,  which 
xva-s  done,  when  it  was  found  that  the  body  had 
been  discovered  about  9  o'clock  in  the  morning.  In 
the  meantime,  however,  a  woman  had  been  to  Police 
Head-qnarters,  and  reported  her  hnsband  as  missing 
fiince  Monday  morning.  She  naid  that  his  name  "was 
Joseph  Stelk,  and  that  he  resided  at  No.  148  Sackett- 
ptreet.  He  hod  been  a  laborlna  man.  but  had  been 
out  of  employment  for  the  past  four  or  five  months, 
and  had  been  for  a  long  time  much  depressed  in 
fipirits  in  oonwquence  of  his  inability  to  firwl  employ-

BIEKCE  AND  TTNIQCTE  BEVXNOE. 
Nt.  John  Gttgel  is  a  joung  man  who  for 
aome  time  past  has  been  a  regular  patron  of  a  policy- 
shop  at  the  eomer  of  West  Thizty-eighth-atieet  and 
Nluth-avenne,  one  of  the  uumeroos  establUhments 
of  that  character  "  backed  "  by  Vredeilck  Q.  liUtl^r, 
of  No.  232  Greenwich-street.  Hr.  Qugel  has  been  in 
the  habit  of  speculating  there  to  the  extent  of  from  93 
to  $6 .  doily,  and,  notwithstanding  that  he  haa  in* 
Tested  an  aggregate  of  over  $1,000,  he  has  not  been 
particularly  successftil  in  the  aU  important 
matter  of  '*hita:"  On  Friday  laat,  howerer, 
he  bought  three  numbers,  which  in  policy 
parlance  is  known  as  a  "gig."  and  which 
proved  to  be  a  "hit"  amounting  to  $74.  He 
at  once  applied  to  the  dealer,  a  man  named  Brown, 
for  the  amountfof  his  claim,  a»d  was  referred  by  that 
individual  to  Luthy.  Luthy  entered  the  place  while 
Gngel  was  there,  but  suddenly  left  after  hold- 
ing a  harried  conversation  with  Bro  *ra.  Gngel 
followed  the  backer  to  his  office,  at  No.  fi32  Green- 
wich-street, and  asked  him  to  cash  the  policy.  Lnthv, 
acknowledging  the  validity  of  the  claim,  requested 
Gugel  to  hand  nim  the  policy.  The  winner  compiled, 
whereupon  Luthy  somewhat  astonished  him  by  tear- 
ing it  into  minute  fragments,  proclaiming  that  it  was 

a  "skin  hit,"  and  that  he  would  see  him before 

he  would  pay  him  any  money.  Gugel  then  informed 
Capt.  Washbume  tha  tLuthy  was  violating  the  law^y 
keeping  a  policy-shop,  but  thus  far  no  action  has 
been  taken  ny  that  official.  Gn^l  hna  issued  the  fol- 
lowing denunciatory  notice,  which  he  intends  to  ex- 
tensively circulate  In  the  shape  of  handbills  orna- 
mented with  an  introductory  wood-cut  of  a  diminu- 
tive demon :

Gugel  last  evening  related  the  forc^lng  particu- 
lars to  ilr.  Marcus  Cicero  Stanley,  to  whom  ne  also 
exhibited  a  proof-sheet  of  his  unique  handbill-  It  la 
alleged  that  Lnthy  invariably  evades  the  payment  of 
aU  large  hits  by  reoadlating  them  under  the  vogue 
plea  that  they  are  "skin,"  or.  in  other  words,  that 
they  have  been  fraudulently  obtained.  .  He  is  the 
man  who  testified  about  a  year  and  a  half  sgo  before 
the  Committee  on  Crime  that  policy  was  practically 
a  skin  came  ;  that  men  who  played  it  would  steal 
pennies  from  dead  men's  eyes,  and  that  it  wan  the 
means  of  corrupting  young  and  old  of  the  lower 
classes  of  the  community. 

A  case  of  fraud  similar  to  that  alleged  to  have 
been  iKrpetrated  by  Lnthy  was  also  reported  to  Mr. 
Stanley  a  few  days  ago.  In  West  Thirty- 
flnjt-street,  between  Six^  and  Seventh  av- 
enues, there  is  a  policy  shop,  in  conjunction  with  the 
transoctionB  of  which' an  envelope  game  and  another 
known  as  "Red  and  AVhite"are  played  at  night. 
A  boy  who  made  a  hit  at  policy  was  refused  the 
amount  of  his  claim.  The  case  was  rcnorted  to  In- 
spector Dilks,  who  requested  Capt.  Williams  to  in- 
vestigate it.  The  latter  detailed  a  detective  to  ac- 
company the  boy  to  the  place.  The  detective,  after 
an  interview  of  a  confidential  nature  with  the  dealer, 
turned  to  the  boy  and  significantly  Intimated  to  him 
that  if  he  did  not  want  to  get  Into  tronble  It  would 
be  necessary  for  him  to  •'  keep  his  mouth  shut."  Ko 
arrest  was  mode,  despite  the  fact  that  the  officer  had 
undisputable  evidence  of  the  existence  of  a  policy 
shop  on  the  premises.  This  is  a  dreumstanee  which 
it  would  be  well  for  the  Police  Board  to  investigate.

A  MYSTERIOUS  BUROLART  ON  THIED-A VENUE 
— $1,500  "WORTH  OF  JEWELRY  TAKEN — 
THE   PROPRrETOR   ARRESTED. 

Early  yesterday  morning  Charles  Piella,  the 
proprietor  of  a  jewelry  store  at  No.  254  Third-ave- 
nue, reported  at  the  Eighteenth  Precinct  Station- 
house  that  during  the  night  bis  store  had  been  en- 
tered by  burglars,  the  s.^fe  opened,  and  all  the  con- 
tents, consisting  of  watches  and  jewelry  valued  at 
$1,500,  had  been  carried  of.  Piella  aald  that  he 
locked  up  his  store  at  9:30  o'clock  and 
went  to  a  picnic,  and  that  when  he  returned, 
at  2  o'clock  yesterday  morning,  he  found  the  store 
door  unlocked  and  the  safe  open  and  emptied  of  its 
valuable  contents,  .^etine  Capt.  Thompson  and  a 
detective  of  the  Eighteenth  Precinct  proceeded  to  In- 
vestigate the  case,  and  their  snspiclons  were  aroused 
by  finding  that  there  had  been  no  violence  used  in 
entering  the  store  or  In  om-ning  the  safe,  and  also 
that  the  family  of  a  cigar  dealer  who  occupies  the  ad- 
joining store,  and  from  which  the  jewelry  store  Is 
separated  by  a  tiiin  partition,  heard  no  noise  durine 
the  night.  During  the  afternoon  Mr.  Simon  Gold- 
smith,  of  the  firm  of  L.  Kaufmann  A  Goldsmith, 
iewelers,  of  No.  26  John-street,  called  at  the  station- 
nonse  and  Informed  artlns  Capt.  Thompson  that  last 
week  Hella  had  obtnined  from  the  firm  jewelry 
valued  at  over  $(»00  on  commission.  On  Saturday 
last  Mr.  Goldsmith  called  for  the  goods  and  was  In- 
duced by  Piella  to  allow  the  matter  to  re- 
main in  abeyance  until  Tuesday  momin2, 
when  he  would  either  return  them  the 
money  or  the  goods,  and  yesterday  morning 
he  sent  the  firm  a  ines.<uige  that  he  hod  been  robbed 
and  their  goods  had  been  carried  off  with  his  own. 
Mr.  Goldsmith  was  under  the  impression  that  Piella 
had  removed  the  goods  and  reported  the  robbery  for 
the  purpose  of  defrauding  the  firm.  On  going  to  the 
store  yesterday  afternoon  Piella  was  discovered  pack- 
ing up  what  goods  had  been  left  in  the  store  prepara- 
torv  to  removing  them.  Chi  complaint  of  Mr.  Gold- 
smith Piella  was  arrested,  cbargwl  with  the  larceny 
of  the  goods  which  had  been  entrusted  to  him  for 
sale  on  commission,  and  he  will  be  arraigned  at  the 
Fifty -seventh-Street  Police  Court  to-day  for  exam- 
ination. 


A  BRUTAL  SVSBA2iD  8ByT  TO  PRISOy. 

A  sad  case  of  infelicity  and  onhapplness  in 
married  life'came  up  yesterday  in  the  Oourt  of  Spe- 
cial Sessions  before  Justices  Morgan.  Duffy,  and  Kil- 
breth.  Ellen  and  Michael  Garry  are  about  five  years 
naarried,  and  up  to  the  present  time  resided  in  One 
Hundred  and  Tenth-street,  between  First  and  Sec- 
ond avenues.  Ever  since  Michael's  marriage  he  has 
been  in  the  habit  of  drinking  a  great  deal,  and  when 
under  the  influence  of  liquor  abused  and  ill-treated 
his  wife  in  the  most  horrible  manner.  Last  Tuesday 
week,  wh^e  in  a  state  of  intoxication,  he  beat  her  so 
cruelly  that  her  cries  attracted  the  attention  of  the 
officer  on  post.  While  on  the  witness-stand  the  pris- 
oner's wife  told  a  most  heart-rending  story  of  the 
wrongs  and  Injuries  inflicted  upon  her  by  her  hus- 
band, and  how.  on  this  particular  day.  the  7th  inst., 
he  kicked  and  beat  her  most  unmercifully.  Officer 
Ford,  of  ttie  Twenty-third  Precinct,  swore  that  when 
hfr  went  up  stairs  to  the  apartments  where  the  conple 
lived,  he  found  the  woman  completely  exhausted  ; 
she  showed  him  where  her  husband  haa  kicked  and 
struck  her.  and  the  latter  remarked  In  his  presence 
that  he  had  only  one  life  to  lose,  and  that  he  would 
lose  it  to  kill  his  wife.  In  view  of  Garry's  extremely 
brutal  treatment  of  his  wife,  the  court  sentenced  him 
to  one  year  in  the  Penitentiiuy. 


THE  LIQUOR  QUESTION  IN  JERSEY  CITY. 
A  lar^  number  of  persons  interested  in  the 
hqnor  question  assembled  last  evening  in  the  Alder- 
manic  Chamber,  Jersey  Cit;',  to  witness  the  action  of 
the  board  on  the  Mayor's  message  vetoing  the 
granting  of  licenses  to  180  saloon  keepers. 
Amimg  the  first  of  the  papers  read  by  City  Clerk 
Scott  was  a  second  message  from  the  Mavor  vetoing 
about  50  licenses  granted  at  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Aldermen.  It  went  over  under  the  rules  for  a  week. 
Later  in  the  evening  the  veto  message  read  at 
the  lost  meeting  was  called  up  on  motion  of  Mr. 
Wood.  The  veto  was  sustained,  as  to  100  licenses, 
against  the  granting  of  which  the  Mayor  had  ob- 
jected that  the  applications  were  Irregular,  and 
new  applications  were  submitted  in  their  places.  On 
motion  of  Alderman  Woods  the  Mayor's  veto  of  78 
of  the  80  places,  objected  to  on  the  ground  that  they 
are  disorderly  houses  and  similar  grounds,  wan  over- 
ridden and  licenses  granted,  notwithstanding  the 
Mayor's  objections.  All  the  Democrats,  with  ^der- 
man  Msckey,  Republican,  voted  In  these  cases  to  dis- 
regard the  veto.  In  the  coses  of  Margaret  B.  Ne- 
ville and  Robert  McCauley,  Sixth  District  saloon- 
keepers, whom  the  Mayor  refused  to  license,  on  the 
ground  that  they  are  specially  disreputable  jplaces, 
the  veto  was  sustained.  About  GO  additional  licenses 
were  granted,  but  tlie  petitions  of  Israel  Oliver,  of 
Ocean-avenue,  and  T.  J.  Fortescue,  of  the  Bergen 
Point  Pbuk  Road,  were  reported  adversely  by  the 
committee,  and  licenses  refused  them. 


yrSAT  CONSTITUTES  A  FORGERY. 
j^The  Baltimore  Gazette  of  Friday  says: 
**  G^ige  Bayne,  a  Canadian,  arrested  in  this  city  a 
week  ago  by  the  Independent  detective  firm  of  Smith 
Sc  West,  hod  a  hearing  yesterday  morning  before 
Jitftice  Oraff.  He  w&s  arrested  while  offering  $2,390 
tn  Caiiadlan  mohey  for  sale  to  broken  in  this  city  on 
nupi(|oB  that  the  money  waa  part  of  a  large  sum 
reeen^y  itokn  from  the  office  of  the  Grand  Trunk 
Railroad  Company  at  Montreal  He  was  committed 
for  a  hearing  yesterday.  In  the  meantime  the 
detectives  wrote  to  Montreal  and  ascertained  that 
the  money  found  on  Bayne  was  not  stolen  from  the 
Grand  Tnmk  Railroad,  but  was  a  portion  of  ^0,000 
taken  from  the  Consolidated  Bank  of  Montreal.  The 
money  was  stolen  in  sheets  as  sent  from  the 
lithographer,  and  a  vacant  space  was  left  for  the 
nfootore  of  the  cashier.  In  the  money  found  on 
Bayne  fche  name  of  William  Irving  has  been  written 
OB  each' note  in  this  npace.  Mr.  MUls,  on  acent  of 
the  Consolidated  Bank,  has  arrived  tn  this  cxtj  and 
Mffntified  the  money,  but  says  there  Is  no  one  of 
the  name  of  William  Irving  connected  with  the  bank. 
This  gives  rise  to  a  nice  question  of  law,  as  to 
whether  the  insertion  of  a  name  In  the  blank  without 
tbe  addition  of  the  word  cashier  can  be  deemed  a 
Uniyay  under  jthe  laws  of  Canada,  and  whether  or 
not  BvfxiB  eais  be  extradited  under  the  chanfe.  Mr. 
mis  laid  t^  matter  before  Hon.  William  Pinkuy 
Whyte  for  his  professional  opinion,  and  that  gentle- 
IMM  ^  «0ir  WHiged  in  investigating  the  matter.

WEATHEB  run  AKD  SCORES  PAUL 
The  riflemen  at  Creedmoor  yesterday  had  a 
pleasant  day  for  practicing,  and  availed  themselvea 
of  the  opportunity  presented  to  roll  up  some  excel- 
lent scores.  The  American  team  was  present  to  a 
man,  all  the  members  of  the  Kew-Orleans  team  were 
out,  and  a  squad  of  members  of  the  Amateur  Bifie 
Club  practiced  nnder  command  of  Iiieut.-CoL  San- 
ford,  Captain  of  the  club  team.  The  Ameri- 
can team  took  a  new  location,  occupying 
three  targets  on  the  left  of  the  field,  desig- 
nated W,  A,  and  X.  The  relative  positions  of  the 
men -were  the  same,  Oen.  Dakin,  the  Captain,  and 
Ifossra.  Jackson,  Hyde,  and  Allen  ooenpied  the  cen- 
tral target;  Messrs.  Jewell,  Weber,  Bruce,  and 
Blydenburgh,  were  squadded  on  the  left  hand,  and  the 
noarve  membets,  Hepburn  and  Lamb,  occupied  the 
ri^t-hand  target.  Two  targets  on  the  extreme  right 
-of  the  field  were  allotted  to  the  New-Orleans  team, 
and  the  odd  target  on  the  left  was  used 
by  ths  Amateur  Blfle  Club.  Each  squad 
was  provided  with  a  shelter  tent,  and  a  rope 
stretched  behind  the  riflemen  kept  back  speeta- 
tors,  thus  making  a  very  pleasant  picture.  The  New- 
Orleans  team  wore  a  neat  gray  uniform,  with  light 
straw  hats,  trimmed  with  navy  blue  bands.  They 
all  shoot  in  the  back  position,  resting  the  barrels  of 
their  guns  in  the  "V"  caused  hy  crossing  the  If^, 
and  while  Hr.  Selph  holds  the  butt  of  his  gun  In  a 
manner  similar  to  Major  Fulton's  style,  the  others 
place  the  heels  of  their  guns  against  their  shotilders. 
Mr.  Selph  made  a  clean  score  of  15  "  bull's- 
eyes  "  at  800  yards,  and  the  other  members 
of  the  team  made  good  average  scores.  Idx. 
Eyrich  w4S  somewhat  Indisposed  by  the  change  of 
climate  and  water,  and  did  not  attain  his  usual  high 
score.  All  the  gentlemen  were  much  pleased  with 
the  range,  and,  while  they  said  there  was  no  apparent 
difference  in  the  eeneral  conditions  of  weather,  light, 
Ac.,  they  found  the  green  sward  at  Creedmoor  far 
better  to  shoot  over  than  the  swampy  range  of  thetr 
own  club  at  New-Orleans.  The  wind  was  what  Is 
known  as  a  "  fish-tail"  breeze,  varying  from  south  ,to 
south-west,  blowing  from  the  rear  of  the  firing  point 
toward  the  targets.  The  total  scores  made  by  the 
several  teams  were  as  follows  :

A  team  of  10,  representing"  Companjr  G,  Seventy-

the  Washington  Grey  Cavalry  for  the  championship. 
The  conditions  were  distances  100  and  20<l  yards, 
seven  shots  at  each  range.  The  cavalry  team  shot 
with  carbines,  while  the  infantry  used  their  regula- 
tion rifiea.  The  latter  won  bv  15  points,  the  scores 
being  486  for  the  Greys,  and  501  for  Companv  G.

At  the  close  of  the  shooting  the  team  representing

THE  LATTER   AT   ITS  HOME   RA^GE. 

The  time  for  the  departure  of  the  California 
team  for  this  City  has  been  postponed  until  the  29th 
inst.  As  it  will  take  them  fully  a  week  to  make  the 
transit.  It  Is  evident  that  they  are  laboring  nnder  a 
mlsapnrehenslon  as  to  the  date  of  the  Fall  meeting 
at  Creedtnoor,  and  their  time  for  practice  will 
consequently  be  limited  to  two  or  three  days. 
Probably  tha  great  expense  necessary  to 
send  a  team  of  16  men  to  this  City 
has  something  to  do  with  the  postponement,  as  the 
funds  estimated  by  the  team  to  be  ncceuary  amount 
to  $7,000.  while  only  ;f3.000  has  thus  far  been 
raised.  In  the  last  practice  of  the  team,  made  ou 
Monday,  the  I3th  Inst.,  the  following  scores  were 
made  at  200  and  500  yards,  out  of  a  possible  ICK) 
points  : 

T.  E.  Carson,  86 :  George  fl.  Strong.  84 :  Charles

BASE-BALL. 

ANOTHER  VICTORY  for  THE  BR00KLTN"-H ART- 
FORDS — THE  LOUISVILLE  CLUB  FAILS  TO 
SCORE. 
The  Brooklyn-BUrtfords  won  another  victory 
over  the  Lonlsvllle  "  Greys  "  in  a  game  played  on  the 
Union  Grounds  yesterday.  Play  was  opened  at  4 
P.  M..  with  the  Hartfords  at  tbe  bat  and  Mr. 
Ducharme,  of  the  Hudson  Club  of  Brooklyn,  in  the 
umpire's  position.  Burdock  led  off  with  a  hit  to 
second  base,  and  was  finely  fielded  out  by  Gerhordt 
and  Latham.  Hnldsworth,  after  knocking  the  ball 
around  the  foul  line  for  some  time,  drove  a  beauty 
down  to  the  entrance  for  three  bases,  and,  as  Stark 
followed  with  a  good  hit  to  left  field,  an  earned  run 
was  scored.  Carey  and  Ferguson  were  fielded  out  by 
Snyder.  The  visitors  were  disposed  of  in  one, 
two,  three  order,  by  Fersruson,  Holdsworth,  and 
Burdock,  thus  leaving  tlie  score  at  the  dose 
of  the  first  inning  at  1  to  0  In  favor  of  the  home 
clnb.  Neither  side  was  able  to  score  In  tlie  sec- 
ond inning,  the  visitors  being  blanked,  although 
their  first  two  batsmen  led  off  with  good  hits.  The 
Hartfords  scored  three  earned  runs  in  the  next  in- 
ning by  tbe  splendid  batting  of  Burdock,  JlArkin, 
and  Holdsworth,  the  latter  making  his  play  with 
a  splendid  three-baser  which  sent  in  two  of  the  mns. 
In  the  seventh  inning  they  added  three  more  to  their 
score,  one  of  them  eame({,  the  visitors  in  the  mean- 
rime  being  unable  to  score  anything.  Excellent 
fielding  prevented  either  club  from  again  adding  mns 
to  their  score  to  the  close  of  the  gome,  at  which 
time  the  score  stood  at  7  to  O  in  favor  of  the  Hart- 
fords. This  is  the  first  game  this  season  in  which 
the  Louisvilles  were  retired  in  nine  successive  in- 
nings play  without  scoring  by  any  league  club.

QVARRYMEN  AND  CONTRACTORS. 


PROLONGATION  OF  THE  HUDSON  COUNTY 
QUASBTMEN'S  COMBINATION— THE  StTB- 
STITDTION  OP  GRANITE  BLOCK  FOB  BLUE- 
STONE  IN  STREET  PAVEMENTS,  AND  ITS 
RESULT. 
The  quarrymen  of  Hudson  County  decided 
yesterday  to  prolong  for  another  week  the  recently 
organized  combination  for  an  increase  of  theb:  i»y, 
believing  that  they  wHl  ultimately  succeed  in  ob- 
t^ntng  their  demands.  They  met  yesterday  after- 
noon  at  Weehawken,  in  pursnanee  of  the  'arrange- 
ment made  on  Tuesday  last,  to  discuss  the  situation. 
Their  action,  one  of  the  men  said,  had  already  been 
productive  of  good,  as  It  had  brought  out  an  expres- 
sion from  at  least  one  contractor  that  he  was  willing 
to  pay  more  than  the  present  rates.  At  the  conclu- 
sion of  the  speaker's  remarks  the  meeting 
adopted  tmanimonaly  an  address  to  Ths 
TxuzB,  stating  their  grievances  and  giving  the 
cause  of  the  present  trouble.  The  address  attributes 
the  distress  now  prevalent  among  them  solely  to  the 
substitution  of  granite  blocks  in  place  of  trap-rock 
In  the  City  of  Kew-York.  Formerly,  so  it  sots  forth, 
the  Croton  Board  of  this  City  rejected  all  other  stone 
for  paving,  none  being  so  durable  or  well  adapted 
to  the  uses  intended  as  the  blue-stone  block.  But 
a  few  years  slnco  over  800  men  supported  their 
families  comfortably  in  quarrying  on  the  property  of 
the  Weehawken  Ferry  Company,  while  now  only 
150  men  work  there,  and  these  drag  out 
a  miserable  existence,  and  their  families  ore 
all  suffering  for  want  of  the  proper  necessaries  of  life. 
This  substitution  of  the  granite  block  for  the  trap- 
rock,  the  address  asserts,  is  due  to  the  fact  that  a  few 
New-York  contractors  purchased  loige  granite  quar- 
ries in  the  Eastern  states,  and.  by  subsidizing  the 
New-York  ofQclals,  obtained  fabulous  prices  for  pave- 
ments of  granite,  to  the  exclusion  of  the  better 
stone.  As  a  result,  the  tax-payers  were  now  assessed 
for  streets  paved  with  granite  twice  as  much  as  they 
would  be  had  the  old  stone  been  used. 

As  a  case  in  point,  one  quarryman  cited  the  re- 
cent contract  for  the  repaving  of  Sixth-avenue, 
from  Forty-second-stroet  to  Fifty -ninth -street. 
The  Board  of  Aldermen  in  that  instance 
had  originally  provided  for  the  use  of  the  blue-stone 

Eavement,  but  the  Commissioner  of  Public  Works 
ad  changed  the  contract  to  one  for  granite  blocks. 
This  was  a  matter  for  the  careful  consideration  of 
the  tax-payers,  on  it  affected  tlieix  interests  closely. 
If  the  City  was  paying  from  $2  to  $2  25  per  yard 
for  granite  pavement  when  it  could  obtain  a  pave- 
ment more  durable  and  snperior  in  every  respect  for 
$1  27ifl  per  yard,  surely  It  wss  a  matter  for  not  only 
unfavorable  comment  but  for  suspicion  also.  In 
either  case  it  was  a  subject  that  should  be  investi- 
gated by  the  tax-payers  out  of  wbose  pockets  the  dif- 
ference was  paid.  Mavor  Ely,  the  speaker  said,  bad 
himself  recently  visited  the  Weehawken  quar- 
ries, had  witnessed  the  method  of  making 
the  blue-stone  blocks,  and  had  acknowledzed 
that  they  were  superior  to  the  granite  blocks,  but 
hod  said  that  tbe  motter  of  their  selection  lay  in 
other  hands  than  his  own.  It  was  these  others, 
therefore,  that  the  taxpayers  should  coll  to  account. 
As  far  as  the  qnarrymon's  side  of  the  case  was  con- 
cerned, the  ftpeaker  claimed  that  their  demands  were 
perfectly  just,  and  said  that  the  contractors  could 
easily  pay  them  $3o  per  l.OCM)  for  specification 
block,  and  still  leave  a  margin  for  ample  profit. 
After  some  further  discussion  it  was  agreed  to  ad- 
journ until  next  Tuesday,  the  quarrymen  to  con- 
tinue to  "  stand  out "  from  work  in  the  meantime.  A 
committee  of  two  was  then  appointed  to  wait  upon 
the  blacksmiths  and  inform  them  of  the  action  of 
the  meeting,  with  the  design  of  securing  their  co- 
operation  for  another  week.  After  passing  a  vote  of 
thanks  to  the  men  who  liad  refuJied  to  sell  to  the 
contractors  while  the  present  difficulty  remained  un- 
settled, the  meeting  adjourned. 


THREE  INSANE  SISTERS. 


TCRXED  OUT  OF  THEIR  LODGINGS  BT  THEIR 
LANDLADY— ARRESTED  ON  A  CHARGE  OF 
INSANITY—  THEY  THINK  THE  WHOLE 
PROCEEDING  A  JOKE. 

In  the  neatly  furnished  ofBce  of  Mrs.  Foster, 
the  Matron  of  the  Tombs,  there  sat  yesterday  three 
insane  sisters,  named  respectively  Catharine, 
Mary,  and  Bridget  Theresa  Kelly,  who  are 
all  three  supposed  to  be  insane.  \Vhen 
the  Times  reporter  was  introduced  to  them 
by  Mrs.  Foster,  a  brisk  conversation  ensued.  Cath- 
arine and  Mary  were  very  communicative.  Catharine 
particularly  so  ;  Bridget,  or  Theresa,  as  she  is  gen- 
erally colled  by  her  sisters,  seemed  to  be  deeply  in- 
terested in  the  contents  of  a  bowl  of  coffee  which 
she  was  leisurely  sipping.  Catharine  said  that  she 
was  bom  in  the  County  of  Roscommon,  In  the  West 
of  Ireland,  as  were  her  sisters  also.  She 
said  she  was  30  years  of  age :  that  Mary 
was  about  28,  and  Theresa  25.  The  sisters  were 
plainly  but  neatly  dressed.  Mary  was  attired  in  a 
plain  calico  dress.  Catharine  wore  a  linen  suit,  and 
Theresa  had  on  a  handsome  wrapper.  Catharine 
said  that  her  sisters  and  herself  went  back  to  Ire- 
land about  a  year  ago,  and,  on  returning  in 
the  month  of  April  lost,  took  up  apart- 
ments at  No.  31  bt.  Mark's-place.  near  Second- 
avenue,  where  they  have  since  lived  together.  Catha- 
rine and  Theresa  worked  on  the  sewing-machine, 
sometimes  at  home,  bnt  oftener  outside  In  shops. 
Mary  acted  as  general  housekeeper.  For  the  non- 
payment of  the  present  month's  rent,  the  sisters 
were  imceremoniously  dispo^nessed  by  the  landlady. 
Mm.  Budenbender,  who  would  not  icive  them  time  to 
put  their  bonnets  on.  nor  would  she  allow  the  sisters 
to  go  bock  and  get  them,  but  called  two  or  three 
offlcem.  who  huHtled  them  off  to  the  station-house, 
where  the  landlady  made  complaint  of  insanity 
against  them.  On  Catharine  beuig  asked  why  the 
rent  was  not  paid  this  month  as  usual,  said,  "It  is 
not  because  we  did  not  have  the  money,  but  it  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  it  was  our  money  that  helped  to 
buitd  the  house,  and  wo  coni«idered  that  we  had  paid 
rwnt  long  euouch  for  it."  The  sisters  seem  to  take 
the  thiug  OS  a  huge  joke,  and  laugh  at  the  idea  of  in- 
sanity. Theresa  said:  "1  don  t  want  to  go  to  an v 
charitable  Institution;  I  can  work.  Give  me  baot 
my  bonnet,  and  i  vriH  show  them  how  Insane  I  am." 

The  sisters  rest  under  the  haliuclnatlon  that  they 
have  a  wealthy  relative  living  named  Allan  Janes, 
formerly  a  large  landed  proprietor  in  the  south  of 
Ireland,  who  on  coming  to  this  coimtry,  adopted  the 
title  of  George  Washington.  His  whereabouts  at 
present  they  do  not  know  :  the  only  thing  they  are 
sure  of  is  that  he  Is  worth  untold  riches.  Dr. 
Brekes,  the  Tombs  physician,  after  making  a  thor- 
ough examination,  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that  the  sis- 
ters were  fit  subject."*  for  the  asylum  on  Ward's  Isl- 
and. To  a  casual  observer,  however,  they  do  not 
seem  to  be  insane.  Catherine  and  Theresa  are  cer- 
tainly somewhat  cccontric,-  but  Mary  seems  to  be 
quite  jolly  and  not  affected  in  the  least.

LONG  ISLAND. 

Mr.  TreadweU  Hendrickson,  an  old  and  well- 
known  resident  of  Northport  aud  vicinity,  and  a  vet- 
eran of  the  war  of  1812,  who  had  reached  the  ad- 
vanced age  of  94  years,  died  on  Saturday. 

On  Monday  evening,  as  the  6:43  train  from 
Long  Island  City  was  nearing  Rlchnaond  Hill,  passing 
through  the  cut  in  the  woods,  the  engineer  discov- 
ered a  horse  on  the  track.  He  blew  the  alarm  whis- 
tle, but  the  animal,  instead  of  stepping  to  one  side, 
Btaried  up  tbe  track  in  front  of  the  locomotive.  See- 
ing that  a  collision  was  inevitable,  and  as  it  was  im- 
possible to  stop  the  train  on  a  down  grade,  the  engi- 
neer "let  her  out,"  as  a  measure  ot  safety  to  ■^o 
train.  The  locomotive  struck  the  horse  behind, 
smashing  its  hind  legs,  doubling  it  up  so  that  its 
back  was  broken  and  the  bones  protruded,  and  pitch- 
ing it  about  20  feet  forward  on  the  other  track.  The 
train  was  then  stoptwd  and  backed,  and  the  train- 
hands  removed  the  dj-ing  animal  from  the  track, 
where  it  endangered  the  safety  of  trains  passing  in 
the  other  direction.  Had  the  train  been  mo^ng 
more  slowly  it  might  have  been  thrown  off.

WAS  HE  POISONED  f 


SUDDEN  DKATH  OP  A  MAN  Df  A  CELL  IN 
JERSEY  CITY — HIS  WIPE  ASBESTED  ON 
SUSPICION  OP  HAVING  AD30NISTEBED 
POISON. 

Patrick  Fallahee,  a  laborer,  50  years  of  age, 
who  liv^  on  the  comer  of  Grove  and  Twelfth 
streets.  Jersey  City,  died  suddenly  and  singularly  in 
the  First  Prednct  PoUce  Station  in  that  city  between 
8  and  9  o'clock  yesterday  morning.  Monday  evening 
GflBcer  Murray  found  him  IjTng  drunk  on  Brunswick- 
street,  and  procuring  a  wagon,  he  had  him  removed 
to  the  station-house.  When  he  was  called  from  the* 
cell  yesterday  morning  to  be  arraigned  in  Justice 
Davis*  court,  he  seemed  to  be  in  reasonably  good 
health.  The  Justice  heard  the  officer's  story  and 
sentenced  the  prisoner  to  30  days'  imprisonment  in 
the  County  Jail.  He  was  remanded  to  the  cells  to 
await  the  arrival  of  the  van  in  which  prisoners  are 
transported  to  the  county  institutions,  and  there 
soon  afterward  received  a  visit  from  his  wife. 
Mrs.  Fallahee  carried  with  her  a  basket  of 
food,  and  a  tin-kettle  containing  milk.  She  supplied 
her  husband  with  the  contenta  of  the  pail  and  the 
basket,  and  he  showed  sgns  of  sickness  speedily. 
Sergt.  Benjamin  Murphy,  whowossummonedatonce, 
said  the  moment  he  reached  the  cell  door  that  the  un- 
fortunate fellow  was  stricken  with  death.  He  orderea 
Doorman  McLaughlin  to  take  the  sufferer  into  the 
yard  for  a  breath  of  f  rc^h  air.  and  the  half -conscious 
form  was  carried  to  the  grass  plot.  He  breathed 
stertorously  for  a  few  moments  and  died.  The  Ser- 
geant suspected  that  the  sudden  death  had  been 
caused  bysomething  which  the  woman  had  eiven  the 
man.  *'  What  have  you  been  feeding  him  with!"  he 
demandedofher.  Quick  as  thought  Mrs.  Fallahee  lifted 
the  tin  pail  aud  emptied  over  the  stone  tUes  the  milk 
which  herhnsband  had  left.  The  .Ser5;eant  erosped  her 
arm  and  succeeded  in  saving  a  few  drops  for  analysis. 

"  What  was  in  that  kettle  ?  "  he  asked  the  woman, 
while  he  looked  her  straight  in  the  eye.  "  Only  a 
suD  of  brandy  with  the  milt.*'  she  returned- 

"  ^Vliy  did  you  throw  it  aw^  ?  "  was  the  Ser- 
geant's next  question.  "  Because  I  did  not  want  you 
TO  know  I  had  brought  liquor  into  the  prison."  was 
the  woman's  answer. 

A  consultation  was  held  with  Coroner  Gannon, 
who  had  arrived  by  this  time,  and  it  was  deemed 
advisable  to  lock  the  woman  up  till  a  post-mortem 
examination  of  the  remains  shall  have  been  mode. 
She  followed  the  turnkey  meekly  to  the  cell,  onlv 
asking  as  she  went  "  Do  you  think  1  poisoned  him  ? ' 
The  Police  suspicion  that  jwison  may  have  been  the 
cause  of  Fallahee's  sudden  taking  off  was 
strengthened  by  the  fact  that  in  less  than  half  an 
hour  after  death,  the  body  had  change  color  to 
pT^ple. 

While  the  body  lay  on  the  grass  in  the  j-ard  it  was 
observed  that  the  decea,sed  had  two  ugly  half -healed 
wounds  on  the  side  of  his  head.  Mrs.  Fallahee  ex- 
plained that  these  wounds  were  inflicted  two  weeks 
ago  by  a  man  named  Edward  Fitzgerald.  Her  hus- 
band and  Fitzgerald  were  engaged  at  that  time  at  the 
tobacco  Inspection  in  Fifteenth-street,  Jersey  City. 
They  became  enfi»ged  in  an  altercation,  each 
wanting  to  go  around  a  barrel  on  which 
they  were  working  in  different  directions. 
Fitzgerald  finally  seized  a  bar  of  iron  and  struck  Fal- 
lahee on  the  head.  The  wounded  man  staggered  to 
Kneuper'a  drag  store,  but  the  druggist  refused  to 
dress  nis  wound,  because  he  was  not  able  to  pav  for 
it.  He  made  his  way  home  bleeding  profusely,  and 
his  wife  went  out  to  get  something  with  wMch  to 
stancii  the  flow  of  the  olood.  When  she  returned 
she  discovered  that  he  had  gone  out  to  get  a  drink. 
The  Police  think  it  possible  that  the  s'mill  may  have 
been  fractured  by  the  blow,  and  that  the  injury  so  in- 
flicted may  have  accelerated  death.  Detective 
Singleton  was  sent  at  once  to  arrest  Fitzeerald. 
Coroner  Gannon  has  summoned  a  jury,  and  will  hold 
an  inquest  to-morrow  ni^ht.  A  post-mortem  exami- 
nation of  the  remains  will  be  mode  to-day.

The  attendance  at  the  Sing  Sing  Camp-meet-

for  one  day  before  its  conclusion,  which  will  be  on

XiOiroos,  Ang.  23.— The  Daibf  yeics'  Ber- 

■  £n  eoirespondent  writes  that  Gemumy's  pro- 
teit  agsiiiEt  the  Tnxldsh  atrocities  is  due  to  the 
snggestioii  of  the  Emperor  WiUjazn.  Although 
the  protest  does  not  contain  any  threats,  it  is  of 
a  natnre  to  conviaoe  the  Porte  that  Germany 
is  in  earnest. 

Asother  dispatch  from  Berlin  says:  "It 
is  officially  confirmed  that  the  German  CrOTem- 
ment  has  tUten  occasion  to  remind  the  Porte  of 
the  provisions  of  the  Geneva  Convention  to 
which  it  is  a  party.  Germany  simultaneously 
asked  the  other  powers  whether  they  would 
make  similar  representations  at  Constantinople." 

A  dispatch  from  Bucharest  says  :  •'  The  Rus- 
so-Boumanian  convention  respecting  Eou- 
mania's  active  participation  in  the  war  is  now 

■  definitely  concluded.  It  is  said  the  conditions 
are  very  favorable  to  the  Principality.  The 
Bnssians  are  strongly  fortifyine  Kustenji  with 
heavy  artillery.  Numerous  Russian  reinforce- 
ments are  arriving  in  the  Dobrudscha." 

A  dispatch  from  Constantinople  says :  "  The 
Governor  of  Tricalia,  Thessaly,  telegraphs  on 
Aug.  21  that  the  Turks  have  carried 
by  assault  some  entrenchments  erected 
at  Sighena  by  the  Greek  insurgents. 
Osman  Pasha,  under  date  of  Aug.  21,  reports 
encounters  with  Russian  cavalry  at  Nereinsk, 
west^  Plevna,  and  at  Antek.  on  the  road  to 
OrchaJije.  In  both  cases  the  Russians  were  re- 
I  pulsed. 

^SiandarcCs  Pesth    correspondent   hears 

it  Great  Britain  is  ~  making  arrange- 
faents  for  the  intervention  of  the 
great  powers  in  the  interests  of  peace.  This 
is  not  confirmed  from  any  other  quarter 
and  is  very  doubtful.  The  same  paper's  Fera 
correspondent  says  Mr.  Scudamore  writes  to  the 
newspapers,  saying  he  has  resumed  his  post  in 
the  Turkish  mail  service,  his  disagreement  with 
the  Turkish  authorities  having  been  arranged. 

The  following  official  Russian  dispatch  has 
been  received  from  the  Russian  General  Head- 
quarters at  Gomy-Studeni.  Aug.  21  :  "  Forty 
liattalions  under  Suleiman  Pa^a  renewed  the 
attack  this  morning  on  the  Schipka  Pass, 
and  were  again  repulsed.  The  fighting  con- 
tinues although  darkness  has  set  in.  The  enemy 
advanced  simultaneously  from  Loftscha  toward 
Selvi.  Rifle  firing  began  at  noon,  at  points 
occupied  by  our  advanced  guard.  The  result  is 
unknown."

JjOHVO'S,  Saturday,  Aug.  11,  1877, 

Boles  and  regulations  governing 'public 
bodies  are  not  changed  in  England  except  under 
the  severest  pressure,  such,  for  example,  as  the 
persistent  obstruction  of  the  business  of  the  na- 
tion by  Pamell,  Biggar,  and  O'Oonnell,  in  the 
House  of  Commons.  The  new  rule  which  they 
have  been  the  means  of  creating  has  come  into 
operation  with  unexpected  speed.  This  is  the 
danse  as  it  stands  on  the  minutes  of  the  House : 

' '  When  a  member,  after  being  twice  declared  out 
of  order,  shall  be  pronoonced  by  Mr.  Speaker  or  by 
the  Chairman  of  Committees,  as  the  case  may  be,  to 
be  disrvcardlng  the  authority  of  the  chair,  the  de- 
bate shjul  be  at  once  suspended,  and  on  a  motion  be- 
ing made  in  the  House  that  toe  member  be  not  heard 
darinff  the  remainder  of  the  debate  or  daring  the  sit- 
ting  of  the  committee,  sach  motion,  after  the  mem- 
ber  complained  of  has  been  heard  in  explanation, 
shall  be  put  without  further  debate." 

Mr.  WhaUey,  the  member  for  Peterborough, 
an  eccentric  and  troublesome  member,  found 
himself  on  Thursday  night  suddenly  under  the 
operation  of  this  new  rule  while  pressing  a  ques- 
tion about  the  Emperor  of  Rtissia.     The  rule 
was  especially  intended  for  the  Irish  obstruc- 
tives ;  poor  Whalley  was  crushed  by  it  amid  the 
hearty   laughter   of    the   whole   House.      Mr. 
WhaUey  is  one  of  those  few  members  who  be- 
lieve not  only  in  the  Tichbome  claimant,  but 
in  the  Emperor  of  Russia.     He  was  the  bosom 
illy  of  Dr.  Kenealy,  the  member  for    Stoke, 
tnd  the  whilom  champion  of    "  the  unfortu- 
oate  nobleman  now  languishing  in  Dartmoor,  ** 
but  recently  he  has  "  found  out "  Kenealy  only  to 
hate  hirn ;  therefore  to  be  prevented  from  speak- 
ing on  Thursday,  when  he  only  wanted  to  defend 
the  Czar  from  his  insolence,  was  doubly  cruel,  and 
be  left  the  House  a  dazed  and  disappointed  man. 
To  some* extent  he  was  avenged  last  night  by  Mr. 
Monk,  who,  behind  an  inconvenient  question, 
pointed  out  that  it  was  for  the  benefit  of  hu- 
manity and  the  peace  of  the  World  that  Russia 
should  occupy  Constantinople.    On  Thursday 
night  it  was  expected  that  there  would  bo   an 
Eastern  debate,  and   everybody  looked   for  a 
Uinisterial  statement  from  Lord  Beaconsfleld ; 
out  the  Ministry  appealed  to  both  houses  not 
to  ask  the  questions  of  which  notice  had  been 
given,  and  the  wishes  of  the  Cabinet  were  at 
once  adopted.    The  Prime  Minister,  in  return 
for  so  much  courtesy  and  consideration,  stated 
that  her  Majesty's  Government  contemplated 
no  change  of  poKcy ;   that  they  had  explained 
"  British  interests "  to  the  Czar,  who  had  un- 
dertaken to  respect  them,  and  they  had  no  rea- 
son to  think  that  his  Majesty  would  break  his 
honorable  word.     The  Liberal   Party  proper 
were   quite   satisfied    with    this    declaration; 
but  certain  fanatics,  who  ignore   "British  in- 
terests," are  not  content,  and  they  were  repre- 
sented last  njght  by  Mr.  Monk,  who  wanted  to 
know  If  the  Government  placed  sufficient  con- 
fidence in  the  Czar's  word  that  if  his  troops  en- 
tered Constantinople  the  Ministry  would  still 
maintain  its  neutrality ;  whereupon  he  strained 
the  privilege  of  his  position  to  protest  against 
a  sin^e  British  soldier  being  lost  to  defend  the 
capital  of  the  Ottomites,  the  capture  of  which 
by  Russia  hft  desired  and  hoped  to  see.    This 
bronght  the  whole  subject  for  a  short  time  into 
debate,  so  that  the  Extreme  Party  obtained  by 
a  side  wind  what  Lord  Hartington  in  the  na- 
aonal  interest,  had  argued  to  forego.   Sir  Henry 
Wolff  alluded  to  the  temporary  occupation  of 
Constantinople,  and  asked  what  a  temporary  oc- 
sopation  meant.  There  hive  been  the  temporary 
Kcupations  of  Tuscany  by  Austria,  of  Syria  by 
'  France,  and  some  others ;  and  on  more  than  one 
occasion  there  has  been  a  diflSculty  In  termi- 
nating such  occupation.    Although  he  saw  no 
prospect  of  Russia  getting  to  Constantinople  at 
present  he  wanted  to  know  what  the  members 
meant  by  a  temporary  occupation.     But  nobody 
Koswered  Sir  Henry  'Wolir.  because  everyl>ody 
feels  that  if  Russia  planted  her  flag  firmly  there, 
England  could  never  turn  her  out,  and  it  is  this 
knowledge,     coupled     with     broken     Russian 
pledges,   that  makes  the  vast  majority   of  Eng- 
lishmen ready  to  sacrifice  blood  and  money  to 
any  amount  rather  than  have  Russia  dictating 
terms  of  peace  on  the  Bospboms. 

Mr  Forster  spoke  not  for  the  purpose  of  eon- 
tinnins  the  discussion,  but  to  point  out  that  the 
opposiaon  had  not  Initiateda  debate,  be Mjuse 
thevfelt  bound  to  act  on  the  wishes  of  the  Gov 
BmiaeDt,  sympathiring  with  the  very  grave  re- 
BonsilBBty  of  Ministers  in  the  present  crisis 
■  it -Ota  aama  time,  he  took  occasion  to  remmd 


the  Government  of  tho  serious  responsibility 
they  had  undertaken  before  tho  country  in  de- 
siring that  Parliament  should  separate  without 
any  further  special  intimation  in  regard  to  the 
Russo-Turkish  war.  As  to  the  question  put  by 
Mr.  ^  Monk,  he  was  bottTId"~to'i«lmit  Aat  it  was 
not  one  which  the  Government  could  answer.  If 
they  were  to  say  they  would  regard  a  temporary 
occupation  of  Constantinople  as  a  hostile  aoV 
by  Russia,  that  would  be  like  a  hint  to  Russia  to 
go  there.  On  the  other  hanc),  he 'could  not 
imagine  the  Gkivemment  announcing  that  it 
wotiJd  be  considered  a  hostile  act.'  'To  make 
such  a  declanrtion  at  present  would,  he  said,  be 
a  breach  of  neutrality.  One  may  be  permitted 
en  passant,  however,  to  remind  th^  reader  that 
this  is  what  Lord  Derby  has  already  said  in  his 
latest  published  dispatch,  not  in  set  and  positive 
words,  but  in  the  language  of  diplomacy.  The 
Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer,  as  will  already 
have  been  seen,  declined  in  courteous  phrase  to 
answer  Mr.  Monk's  question.  At  the  same  time 
he  referred  to  Lord  Derby'S~&moiis  dispatch, 
"  which  was  unusually  full  and  detailed  in  its 
declarations;  it  was  respondedXto  in  a  spirit 
which  leaves  tis  no  reason  at  all  v^  complain  of 
the  tone  of  the  Russian  Govemn^ent,  and  we 
have  no  reason  whatever  to  doubt  the  propriety 
of  the  course  we  took  in  addressing  thiit  dis- 
patch, but  I  do  feel  that  it  would  be  exceedingly 
mischievous  if  we  were  to  go  into  details  upon 
every  hypothetical  question  that  might  be  sub- 
mitted to  us." 

Thereupon  Dr.  Eenealy  rose,  aflame  with 
wrath,  and  amid  cries  of  "Agreed,"  and  some 
impatience,  said :  "  I  am  convinced  that  the 
occupation  of  Constantinople  cannot  be  con- 
templated seriously  by  any  patriotic  English- 
man for  five  minutes.  I  sincerely  hope  that 
if  any  such  thing  should  come  to  pass,  this 
present  Ministry  will  lose  not  a  single  moment 
in  taking  that  course  which  the  country  calls 
upon  them  to  do,  and  which  I  believe  the  coun- 
trv  will  valiantly  support  |hem  in  doing." 
"  ^ear,  hear,'*  said  a  score  of  voices,  which 
brought  Mr.  Chorley  to  his  feet  to  point  out 
that  when  Mr.  Forster  talked  of  England's 
"  strict  neutrality,"  the  official  words  were, 
"  Strict  but  conditional  neutrality,*'  the  condi- 
tion being  that  English  interests  should  not  be 
imperiled.  And  now  Mr.  WhaUey  thought  his 
chance  had  arrived  once  more,  and  he  turned  a 
grave  debate  into  a  laughter  by  suggesting  that 
the  Jesuits  are  at  the  bottom  of  the  present 
trouble,  and  when  members  laughed  at  him, 
by  protesting  that  he  could  not  under- 
stand what  the  house  meant  by  always 
laughing  whenever  he  addressed  it.  Every- 
body else  except  the  member  himself  sees  how 
ridiculous  he  is,  and  that  is  why  they  laugh. 
Moreover,  the  business  of  the  House  is  generally 
of  so  serious  and  grave  a  character  that  mem- 
bers are  always  ready  to  be  amused.  They  will 
laugh  at  the  mildest  piece  of  absurdity ;  and 
WhaUey  is  a  funny  little  figure,  with  crisp, 
f  U2zy  hair  and  the  strut  of  a  valiant  rooster. 
His  earnestness  has  the  intensity  of  a  low 
comedian  in  the  most  farcical  situation  ;  he  has 
not  the  slightest  idea  of  his  own  absurdity  ;  and 
it  is  not  very  long  since  that  the  House,  carried 
away  by  his  "grave  hilarity,"  roared  with 
laughter  wheo  one  of  its  members  called  out, 
"  Sing,  Whalley,  sing ! " 

"The  honorable  member  for  Peterboro  suc- 
ceeded in  bringing  the  curtain  down  upon  the 
war  debate  in  the  Commons  amid  a  npple  of 
laughter.  In  the  Lords  the  subject  assumed  a 
different  aspect.  Lord  Colchester  asked  the 
Secretary  of  State  for  Foreign  Affairs  whether 
the  attention  of  her  Majesty's  Government  had 
been  called  to  reports  circulated  by  the  Austrian 
press  to  the  effect  that  the  policy  of  the  British 
Government  is  to  await  and  take  part  in  the 
partition  of  Turkey,  and  whether  he  would 
have  any  objection  to  state  if  there  is  any  foun- 
dation for  such  report.  Lord  Derby  said  his 
attention  had  not  been  specially  called  to  the 
reports^,  question :  he  had  seen  so  many  wild 
reportsui  Continental  journals  as  to  the  policy 
and  intentions  of  the  British  Government  that 
hewss  not  inclined  to  attach  much  importance 
to  any  of  them;  but  he  had  not  the 
slightest  diffictdty  in  satisfying  the  anxiety 
of  his  noblft  mend  by  telling  him  that 
the  reports  to  whicb_he  referred  had  no  founda- 
tion whatever.  And  this  it  is  most  possible  is 
the  last  we  shall  hear  of  the  Russo-Turkish 
war  in  the  House  of  Commons  until  next  ses- 
sion ;  for  Parliament  will  be  prorogued  next 
week,  and  the  members  will  be  scattered  over 
the  face  of  the  habitable  and  unhabitable  globe 
before  another  month  is  over.  Many  of  them 
wiLl  no  doubt  flnu  their  way  to  the  scene  of  the 
hostilities  which  they  have  so  often  discussed  ; 
for  Englishmen  have  odd  notions  of  what  is 
called  resting  from  labor.  Ministers  will  re- 
main within  easy  call  of  each  other,  their 
anxieties,  if  not'  their  labors,  continuing  in 
spite  of  the  prorogation.  It  is  possible  that  the 
defeat  of  the  Russians  may  have  relaxed  the 
tension  of  neutral  observation,  seeing  that  all 
prospect  of  the  Muscovites  getting  to  Constanti- 
nople this  year  are  at  an  end,  and  that  at  the 
moment  they  have  had  to  change  their  march  of 
invasion,  commenced  so  brilliantly,  into  a  retro 
grade  movement.

from  ovr  Chan  Corre^tondenL 
Vabsa,  Monday,  July  23,  1877. 
I  am  not  so  sure  now  as  I  was  at  first 
that  the  Russians  will  be  successful  in  this  cam- 
paizn.  yriJkimerous  little  weaknesses  are  crop- 
ping outnan'which  I  did  not  calculate.  Eye- 
witnesses of  some  of  the  small  engagements  we 
have  had  up  to  now  describe  the  men  as  being 
wanting  in  courage,and  in  one  case — the  passing 
of  the  Danube  at  Sistova — I  believe  for  a  few 
moments  the  officers  on  the  Roumanian  bank 
were  obliged  to  fire  on  their  men  to  simulate 
them  to  advance.  I  am  open  to  correction  on 
this ;  my  authority  is  a  wounded  Turkish  sol- 
dier. Some  of  the  Russian  prisoners  speak 
very  vehemently  against  the  war.  They  are 
mostly  lads  of  19  to  22,  and  are  evidently  sol- 
diers much  against  their  wiU.  We  are  told  here 
.that  100,000  are  now  in  Roumania,  men  who.se 
presence  the  Czar  did  not  think  would  be  re- 
quired ;  that  is  one  of  the  weak  points.  An- 
other is  the  slowness  of  the  Russian  arrange- 
ments, considered  by  some  to  be  due  to  a 
spirit  of  caution  and  prudence,  but  con- 
sidered by  me  to  bs  indicativs  of 
a  want  of  energy,  and,  above  all, 
of  unity  among  both  men  and  officers.  The 
Rusai^s  are  in  all  points  much  less  perfect  than 
I  at  first  thought  them.  Their  crushing  blow  so 
long  spoken  of  is  not  yets  matter  of  fact,  and 
every  daj^brings  WinJOT  nearer.  In  the  mean- 
time the  arrivals  of  men  and  ammunition  for 
the  Turks  are  something  astonishing,  and  if  it 
is  true  that  Suleiman  Pasha  is  leaving  Monte- 
negro for  here  with  40  battalions  of  experienced 
men,  I  do  not  hesitate  to  say  the  tide  of  the  war 
will  turn  in  favor  of  the  Ottomans,  however 
desperate  the  efforts  of  the  Muscovites  may  be 
to  get  the  upper  hand. 

The  national  society — Red  Cross — has  at 
length  shown  sigs  of  life.  The  Belle  of  Dun- 
querke,  after  passing  no  end  of  time  in  -f76n- 
stantinople,  is  arrived,  with  surgeons,  drugs, 
and  ambulances.  Drs.  Crookshaiis  and  Scho- 
field'^o  forward  to-day  in  charge,  none  too  soon, 
however,  as  the  wounded  are  brought  in  rap- 
idly. Severe  fighting,  with  varying  success, 
goes  on  daily  near  to  Rasgrad,  and  there  we  may 
look  for  a  great  battle,  if  it  has  not  already  com- 
menced. The  centre  of  the  Russian  Army — 
that  operating  near  to  Rustchuk — is,  it  Is  said, 
stronger  than  the  whole  Turkish  force ;  but  this 
remains  to  be  seen,  and  the  web  so  cleverly  being 
woven  around  the  Turks  may  be  broken  at  any 
moment.  Mehemet  Ali  means  fighting,  hard 
fighting.  Supplies  can  be  sent  from  Constanti- 
nople hy  way  of  the  Black  Sea  and  Varta  Rail-, 
way  in  19  hours  to  the  seat  of  operations  by 
one  route,  and  in  three  days  by  way  of  Yamboli 
and  Sbujnla.  The  Russians  have  not  this  ad- 
vantage and  every  ya,jdtiiey  advance  increases 
their  difficulties.'  It  wouM  be  an  unfortunate 
thing  for  the  world  should^^key  be  snocess- 
ftil,  out  tH  the  elements  of  ssccess  are  tmde- 
niably  hers,  and  Europe's  oppoitumty  is  now  at 
hand.  Russia  cannot  withdraw  in-  caae  of  do- 
feat.  Win  Turkey  listen  to  reason"  should  the 
fortunes  of  war  be  on  her  aide  ?  These  are  re- 
flections well  worth  entertalnine. 
Ton  will  read  of  many  battles  lost  and  von. 


battles  annotmced  by  telegram;  but  aQ  these 
are  merely  skirmishes  and  the  great  Btrtwgle 
has  yet  to  come  on.  From  2  A.  M.  until  5:30 
A.  M.  heavy  firing  was  'heard  at  Rasgrad  sta- 
tion, and  wounded  men,  mostiy  Circassians, 
were  brought  in.-  We  shall  have  the  details 
this  evening,  but  I  do  not  think  it  has  been  any- 
thing very  serious.  "Telegraphic  communication 
with  Rustchuk  is  now  interrupted  and  the  rail- 
way has  been  destroyed  by  the  Russians  at  31 
kilometres  from  Rustchuk.  The  Telova  station, 
39^  kilometres  away  from  Rustchuk,  has  also 
bee'n  damaged.  All  this  was  found  out  by  the 
railway  authorities  who  sent  out  scouts.  Capt. 
Drummond,  of  her  Majesty's  gun-boat  Rapid, 
has  caused  a  good  deal  of  alarm  here,  though 
very  innocently.  He  went  out  for  a  trip  in  the 
direction  of  Baltchic,  and  whin  there  went  in 
for  target  practice,  which  considerably  fright- 
ened the  natives,  who  advised  the  authorities. 
The  latter  insist  that  under  the  present  circum- 
stances the  Captain  should  have  advised  them 
of  his  projected  firing.  The  slight- 
est thing  now  causes  a  panic  Every 
one  is  armed  against  the  foe;  even 
women,  and  children  of  tender  years  carry  re- 
volvers and  carbines.  Many  of  the  poor  things 
have  no  cartridges  ;  they  think  the  arm  itself  is 
a  sufficient  protection.  The  Egj-ptian  troops 
which  left  here  last  week  for  Bazardjik  have 
not  yet  returned.  The  Russians,  instead  of 
marching  to  meet  them,  have  turned  toward 
Silistria,  and  Pravadi  may  now  be  considered 
in  danger.  The  Turks  foresee  this,  and  are 
taking  measures  to  protect  the  place.  In  the 
Pravadi  Valley,  at  distances  of  100  yards, 
there  are  still  dykes,  now  grass-grown,  which 
were  cut  in  1828,  and  in  these  the  Russian  ad- 
vance was  then  contested  step  by  step.  The 
same  dykes  will  turn  out  very  useful  now,  and 
the  Russians  will  experience  very  rough  treat- 
ment there. 

The  Turks  are  beginning  to  acknowledge  the 
Circassians  to  be  the  cause  of  many  of  the  evils 
which  have  befallen  the  country.  Active  meas- 
ures have  been  takeii  against  these  unprincipled 
marauders  in  Varna.  Patrols  of  10  men  "are 
told  out  to  scour  the  environs,  with  orders  to 
shoot  all  who  show  the  ylightest  opposition. 
Only  yesterday,  close  to  the  railway,  two  Cir- 
casiiiana  were  driving  cattle  not  belonging  to 
them.  They  refused  to  obey  the  order  of  the 
patrol  to  delivcj-  up  the  beasts,  and  were  shot 
down  like  dogs  by  the  soldiers.  To  give  you  an 
idea  of  the  state  of  things  here,  I  Arill  remark 
that  lambs'  meat  is  sold  in  the  public  market  at 
3  pence  the  ocque  of  two  and  three-quarters 
pounds ;  the  animal  itself  is  sold  alive  at  about  1 1 
pence.  Beef  is  sold  at  4  pence  the  ocque,  and 
the  animal  alive  at  18  shillings.  .A.t  these  prices 
there  are  no  buyers  excepting  in  quantities  suf- 
flcient  for  the  daily  consumption,  and  export  is 
forbidden,  so  that  speculators  cannot  profit  by 
the  circumstances.  The  rea.»;on  of  all  this  is 
that  the  Dobrudja  Plain  being  deserted,  the 
flocks  are  all  here,  and  the  natives  endeavor  to 
be  quit  of  them  at  any  price  sooner  than  lose 
l£em  altogether.  All  other  article.**  of  food, 
such  as  rice,  sugar,  tea,  ice,  are  abnormally 
dear,  as  the  mercliants  import  none  and  stocks 
are  becoming  very  low. 

Gen.  Stecker,  [Reschid  Pasha, jaPrussian,  until 
now  commander  of  the  fortress  here,  has  been 
appointed  by  Mehemet  .A.li  as  commander  of  the 
artillerv.  'The  Circassians  have  been  murder- 
ing the  villagers  at  a  small  place  called  B^vama 
near  to  here,  and  half-way  on  the  map  between 
Baltchic  and  C-ape  Giilgrad.  Inquiries  are  being 
made.    The  Governor  has  left  for  the  place. 

ISRAELITES  IX  TURKEY. 
STATISTICS  RECEIVED  FROM  THE  UNITED 
STATES  MINISTER — 500,000  HEBREWS 
IN  THE  OTTOM.^N  EMPIRE — THEY  ARE 
BETTER  TREATED  THAN  CHRISTIANS  BY 
THE  TURKS — PROTECTION  EXTENDED  BY 
THE  .UNITED  STATES  OFFICIALS. 

Washington,  Aug.  22. — A  dispatch  has 
been  received  at  the  Department  of  State  from 
the  United  States  Minister  to  Turkey  giving 
interesting  details  concerning  the  number, 
status,  and  persecution  of  the  Israelites  in  the 
Ottoman  Empire.  The  total  number  of  Israel- 
ites in  the  Empire  is  given  at  500,000.  Of 
this  total,  Roumania  contains  250,000,  Asiatic 
Turkey  80,000,  European  Turkey  75,000. 
Servia  2,000,  &c.  The  United  States  Minister 
says  that  justice  to  the  Turk  compels  him  to 
admit  that  the  Israelites  have  been  better 
treated  by  the  Ottoman  than  by  many  of  the 
Western  powers,  and  that  the  impression  pre- 
vails that  they  are  better  treated  in  the  Empire 
than  the  Christians.  They  are  recognized  as 
an  independent  religious  community,  with  the 
privileges  of  their  own  ecclesiastical  rule, 
their  chief  Rabbi,  Chacham  Bashi,  possessing, 
in  consequence  of  his  functions,  great  influence. 
The  Turkish  Minister  of  Foreign  Affairs  pro- 
tested to  Mr.  Maynard  that  where  Turkish  rule 
obtained  the  Israelites  always  enjoyed  every 
privilege  and  immunity  accorded  by  the  laws  to 
Ottoman  subjects.  The  only  maltreatment  of 
Israelites  which  has  been  brought  to  the  notice 
of  the  United  States  Legation  at  Constantinople 
during  the  official  term  of  Mr.  Maynard,  was 
that  of  the  Rabbi  Sneersohn,  an  American  citi 
zen.  On  Nov.  28,  1874,  the  Rabbi  was 
set  upon  by  his  co-religionists,  certain 
Jews  at  Tiberias,  robbed  of  a  considerable 
amount,  and  most  .shamefully  maltreated  by 
being  imprisoned,  stoned,  stripped  naked,  and 
ridden  in  that  condition  through  the  streets  of 
Tiberias,  barely  escaping  with  his  life.  The 
United  States  Con.stil  at  Beyrout  went  to  Tiberia.s 
and  had  the  perpetrators  arrested.  Some  claimed 
British  protection,  and  escaped  by  flight.  The 
friends  of  the  others  assembled,  overpowered 
the  authorities,  and  rescued  them.  The  lega- 
tion at  Constantinople  then  took  up  the  subject, 
and  it  was  being  satisfactorily  pushed — as  fast 
as  possible  under  the  circumstances — when  the 
Rabbi,  doubtless  tired  out  and  impoverished, 
left  for  France,  and  in  his  absence  nothing 
further  could  be  done.  The  po.sition  which 
the  Israelites  hold  in  the  Empire,  the  complex 
systems  and  situations,  and  the  heterogenity  of 
the  races  by  which  they  are  surrounded,  the 
state  of  civilization  and  the  religious  animosi- 
ties which  prevail,  the  little  authority  exercised 
by  the  Ottoman  Government  over  the  provinces 
even  in  ordinary  times,  (protesting  that  it  should 
not  be  held  respon.'ible  for  abuses  in  the  prov- 
inces.) render  the  whole  subject  not  only  diffi- 
cult of  'solution,  but  even  difficult  of 
explanation.  Some  of  the  Israelites 
claim  to  be  under  British  protection,  others 
have  been  under  Russian  protection. 
Many  hold  themselves  as  an  independent 
people,  owing  no  allegiance  to  any  Government, 
and  it  is  only  when  persecuted  or  outraged  that 
they  seek  the  protection  of  any  or  all 
human  powers.  While  all  Governments,  the 
United  States  Government  foremost  of  all,  sre 
most  anxious  to  extend  the  necessary  sympathy 
and  protection,  international  questions  and 
equities  interfere  with  and  prevent  that  full 
protection  which  they  would  receive  were  they 
fixed  citizens  of  any  Government. 

The  United  States  Minister  at  Constantinople 
has  requested  the  consular  officers  of  his  Gov- 
ernment, throughout  the  Ottoman  Empire,  to 
observe  carefully  the  condition  of  the  Israelites 
within  their  several  jurisdictions,  and  to  report 
to  the  legation  at  Constantinople  without  delay 
any  instances  of  persecjitions  of  that  people 
which  may  occui. 

ABBEST  OF  A  MUBDEBEB. 
Philadelphia,  Perm.,  Aug.  22. — ^Adolph 
Strefolchy,  a  Russian,  who  was  arrested  in  this 
city  on  Friday,  is  an  accomplice  of  Whalen  in 
the  murder  of  Max  Hoehne.  at  Elm  Station. 
The  prisoner  made  a  full  confession  to  Detec- 
tive Abrams,  by  whom  he  was  arrested.  At  No. 
531  North  Front-street,  where  he  lodged,  a  coat, 
vest,  razor-strop,  and  two  handkerchiefs 
which  belonged  to  the  murdered  man  were 
found;  and  the  pair  of  trousers  worn  by  the 
nrisoner  also  belonged  to  Hoehne.  A  pawn 
ticket  found  in  his  pocket  called  for  the  ham- 
mer with  which  Hoehne  was  knocked  on  the 
head.  ^^^^^^

Special  Diepaicfi  to  the  Nevo-Tork  Time$. 

Harrisburg,  Penn.,  Aug.'  22.— The  time 
which  intervened  between  last  night's  dis- 
patches and  the  assemhling  of  the  convention 
to-day  brought  no  order  out  of  -the  chaos  of 
opinion  among  the  delegates.  The  shrewdest 
guessers  of  political  conundrums  were  completely 
at  sea,  and  one  and  all  finally  arrived  at  the 
same  conclasion  to  wait  and  see.  Up  to  the 
time  of  the  assembling  of  the  convention  the 
intention  had  been  to  bestow  upon  Thomas  P. 
Schnatterly,  of  Fa^'ette,  the  honor  of  tho  tem- 
porary Chairmanship ;  but  when  Chairman 
McClelland  called  the  body  together,  some 
old  fogy  delegate,  jealous  of  the  encroach- 
ments of  inexperienced  youth  upon  the 
political  arena,  nominated  for  temporary 
Chairman  *•  Uncle  Jake'"  Ziegler,  of  Butler,  in 
opposition  to  the  youthful  but  able  and  ambi- 
tious .Schnatterly.  The  veteran  Ziegler  was 
elected  by  a  handsome  majority,  and  was  es- 
corted to  the  chair  by  his  vanquished 
opponent,  assisted  by  Capt.  Rauch,  of 
Lancaster.  During  the  balloting  for  temporary 
Chairman  X  was  amusing  to  note  the  various 
expressions  which  flitted  over  the  faces  of  the 
delegates  as  the  evidences  of  Ziegler's  superior 
popularity  manifested  themselves.  Heads  were 
laid  together,  and  each  loolced  his  neigh- 
bor in  the  face  with  an  anxious  ques- 
tion in  his  eye  and  on  his  tongue. 
"  What  does  this  mean  1 "  went  from  mouth  to 
mouth,  and  the  response,  "nothing  at  all," 
while  justified  by  subsequent  occur- 
rences, did  not  give  much  comfort  at 
the  time.  The  temporary  Chairman  in- 
stalled and  his  speech  delivered,  the  convention 
adopted  an  order  of  business  which  fixed 
the  nominations  in  the  following  order :  Judge 
of  Supreme  Court,  Auditor.  General  State  Treas- 
urer. A  Committee  on  Platform  was  then  ap- 
pointed consisting  of  one  delegate  from  each 
Senatorial  district,  after  which  the  convention 
adjourned  to  meet  at  4  o'clock. 

Upon  reassembling  the  convention  looked 
anxiously  for  the  report  of  the  Committee  on 
Credentials.  This  committee  not  being  ready 
to  report,  a  recess  of  20  minutes  wa-s  ordered. 
At  the  expiration  of  the  recess  the  Commitee  on 
Permanent  Organization  made  the  report  that 
it  had  chosen  for  permauent  Chairman  ■William 
S.  Stenger,  of  Franklin,  and  for  Vice-Presidents 
a  delegate  from  each  Senatorial  district.  For 
permanent  Secretaries  those  who  did  duty  dur- 
ing the  organization  were  retained.  After  his 
introduction  to  the  Chair  Mr.  Stenger  made  a 
speech  in  which  he  said  that  one  peculiarity 
about  the  Democratic  Party  was  that  it  never 
dies.  He  said  that  the  chair  once  occupied  by 
Washington  is  now  filled  by  a  man  rejected 
by  the  people  by  over  a  quarter  of  a  mil- 
lion majority."  He  charged  that  Hayes 
adopted  the  Democratic  progr^nme  .  in 
withdrawing  the  troops  from  the  .South. 
He  applauded  the  Democratic  Party  for 
its  patience  in  acquiescing  quietly  in  one  of  the 
greatest  frauds  that  ever  disgraced  the  country, 
and  concluded  by  charging  that  the  inaugura- 
tion of  Hayes  was  a  greater  blot  than  can  be 
washed  out  by  all  the  sweet  rain  in  the  heavens. 
Following  is  the  speech  in  full : 

SPEECH  OF  CHAIRMAN    STENGER. 
Hon.  S.  A.  BrMges  and  Roger  Sherman  es- 
corted Mr.  Stenger  to  the  chair.     He  said  : 

Gentlkmen  op  the  Co!rvKNTiox :  Accept  my 
sincere  thanks  for  the  honor  of  being  selected  to 
preside  over  your  deliberations.  I  congratu- 
late you  that  we  meet  with  a  fall  repre- 
sentation from  every  district  in  the  State. 
There  is  one  striking  fact  abont  the  Democrat- 
ic Purty — it  never  dies.  Others  rise  and  fall, 
come  and  go,  with  the  ideas  that  called  them  into  ex- 
istence, but  the  Democratic  Party  lives  on  amid  all 
vicissitude!*,  because  its  principle's  are  those  of  the 
Constitution  ;  it  has  been  defeated,  laid  out  for  dead, 
defrauded,  [applause.]  bnt  still  it  lives,  and  o\ir 
opponents  may  as  well  take  notice  from 
its  vitahtv.  that  while  earth  lasts,  like  seed  time  and 
harvest.  l[>emocrBtic  conventions  shnll  not  cease. 
Defrauded.  I  say.  because  I  am  not  unmindful  of  the 
fact  that  while  I  speak  the  chair  of  Washing- 
ton and  Jefferson  is  filled  by  a  man  re- 
jected by  a  <^uarter  of  a  million  majority 
of  the  Afnencan  peonle  and  a  decided 
majority  of  the  Electoral  votes  of  the  States.  The 
w'sdom  of  the  recent  Democratic  poliej^  is  being  vin- 
dicated by  the  Hayes  Administration,  in  two  points 
especially.  In  1874  a  Democratic  majority  elected 
to  the  lower  house  of  Congresa  instituted 
a  plan  for  the  adjustment  of  public  difficulties 
by  applying  the  policy  of  economy,  rerrencnment. 
and  reform.  They  steadfastly  adhered  to  it,  and 
$60,000,000  were  thereby  saved  to  the  nation. 
Every  Republican  newspaper  said  the  Democratio 
House  was  crippling  the  Government  and  was  cruel 
1o  its  employes;  but  a  few  days  ago  the 
Financial  Secretary  of  the  Hayes  Administration 
went  to  Ohio  and  claimed  credit  for 
his  party  because  it  hAd  recentlv  dismissed  a  thou- 
sand employes.  It  wae  compelled  to  do  so  by  the 
Democratic  House,  and  now  (;redit  is  claimed  by  tlie 
Hayes  Administration.  The  Democratic  Party  ni^d 
the  removal  of  the  Army  from  the  South.  It 
was  felt  that  peace  and  prosperity  would 
come  to  tho  Southern  States  only  in  this 
event,  and  that  business  derangements  only  then 
would'  cease.  The  House  stood  as  firm  as  a  stone 
wall  against  the  proposition  to  p.ay  the  troops,  un- 
less It  was  expressly  stipulated  that  they  shonld  not 
be  used  to  sustain  bo'gu.<4  State  Governments.  It  was  a 
unit  for  the  bill  with  this  included ;  a  unit 
against  it  unless  it  was  included ;  and 
now  Sherman  is  praising  Hayes  because 
he  adopted  the  Democratic  policy — another  Instance 
of  economy  by  the  Democratic  policy,  credit  for 
which  is  claimed  by  the  Hayes  Administration.  I 
do  not  propose  to  detain  this  convention  with  an  Ex- 
tended speech,  but  to  follow  the  experience  of  my 
predecessor,  venerable  in  democracy,  if  not  in 
years.  You  are  competent  to  discharge 
vour  duty,  and  in  that  work  I 
invoke  harmony.  Bnt  why  narmonj^  1  We  are  the 
party  of  law  and  order,  and  in  all  history  there  was 
no  grander  spectacle  than  that  of  this  ereat  party 
quietly  submitting,  for  the  sake  of  peace  -  and  order 
and  the  perpetuity  of  our  free  institutions,  to  the 
most  monstrous  political  fraud  of  any  age  ;  for  the 
act  of  the  Electoral  Commission  was  a  foul  stain  on 
our  national  honor,  which  all  the  rains  in  the  sweet 
heavens  cannot  wash  out. 

The  speech  was  very  frec^uently  interrupted 
by  applause,  and  evefy  allusion  to  the  action  of 
the  Electoral  Commission  was  loudly  cheered. 

The  convention  then  waited  a  long  while  for 
the  Committee  on  Platform  to  report,  and  that 
body  not  making  its  appearance  an  adjourn- 
ment to  8  o'clock  was  ordered.  Upon  the  re- 
assembling of  the  convention  at  S  o'clock  it 
was  found  necessary  to  send  a  committee 
after  the  Committee  on  Platform,  which 
had  gotten  into  a  snarl  over  the 
financial  plank  and  were  unable  to  effect  a  com- 
promise, the  advocates  of  hard  and  soft  money 
being  of  equal  strength  on  the  committee.  A 
report  that  the  committee  would  be  ready  with 
the  platform  in  five  or  ten  minutes  put  the  con- 
vention in  a  good  humor.  At  8:30  the 
Committee  *  on  Platform  came  into  the  conven- 
tion and  reported  the  result  of  its  labors  in  the 
following  platform,  which  was  adopted  after  a 
brief  debate  with  much  enthusiasm : 

*  THE  PLATFORM. 

The  Committee  on  Resolutions  then  reported 
as  follows : 

The  Democratic  Party  of  Pennsylvania  and  its 
delegates  in  convention  assetobled  do  declare  : 

FitH — That  the  induction  of  Rutherford  B.  Hayes 
into  the  ofSce  of  President,  notwithstanding  the 
election  of  Samuel  J.  Tllden  thereto,  was  a  high 
crime  against  free  govermnest  which  has  not  been 
condoned  and  will  not  be  forgotten.  The  szune 
spirit  of  patriotism  which  forbore  contest  upon  the 
fljst  offense  will  resist  and  punish  any  attempt  at  a 
second. 

Second^-Thtkt  the  immediate  happy  effect  of  the 
application  by  the  Federal  Administration  of  the 
Democratls  policy  of  nonintervention  in  the  internal 
affairs  of  the  Southern,  States  amply  vindicates  our 
fzvquent  protests  asainat  the  prevfons  violation  of 
the  reserved  xi^t  oiuie  aereral  States  to  exorcise  all 
power  not  del^ated  to  the  General  GNrvemznent  by 
express  oonstitational  provision. 

JMrd— That  the  pnrpose  to  reform  tbcdTilser' 
vife.  which  hat  been  nrodaimed  by  the  oreMnt  Ad- 


mlnistratioii,  is,  like  Its  adopted  "  Southern  policy^ "  a 
confession  of  the  failure  of  radicalism,  and  a  just 
tribute  to  the  Democracy,  which  has  long  and  ear^ 
nestly  demanded  the  overthrow  and  punishment  of 
corrupt  oificials, 

JVurtA— That  capital  combined  In  corporate  organ- 
ization has  been  too  highly  favored  by  both  State  and 
Federal  le^lation.  and  its  demands  for  lai^  returns 
are  inconsistent  with  the  depressed  condition  of  the 
laboring  and  business  interests  of  the  country.  We 
oppose  further  enactments  for  its  special  benefit  at 
tbeenense  of  other  interests.  LaDor  and  capital 
should  have  no  cause  of  antagonism,  and  th^  sboold 
be  left  free  to  adjust  their  own  relations.  The  right 
to  cxjntract  freely  exists  for  both  parties. 

FifUt — That  we  acccTit  the  ftdmonitionof  Jackson— 
in  saying  concerning  standing  armies  as  dangerous 
to  free  governments  in  time  of  peace — "I  shall  not 
seek  to  enlarge  our  present  establishment,  nor  disre- 
gard the  salutary  lesson  of  political  experience, 
which  teaches  that  the  military  should  be 
held  subordinate  to  the  civil  power.'*  According- 
ly, the  increase  of  the  Federal  Army  and 
any  attempt  to  employ  it  as  a  partisan  agent  of 
Federal  authority,  or  for  interference  with  tho  sove- 
reign r^hts  of  tho  States,  will  receive  the  continued 
earnest  opposition  of  the  Democracy  of  Pennsylvania. 
Sixth— TheX  the  deprivation  of  emplnjihent  of 
many  thousands  of  industrious  citizens  and  laborers, 
and  the  deep  distress  of  themselves  and 
families,  enlist  our  hearty  sympathies,  and  we 
declare,  in  the  language  of  Jefferson,  the 
founder  of  our  ^rty,  that  "a  wise  and  frugal  gov- 
ernment, which  Khali  restrain  men  from  injuring  one 
another,  and  shall  leave  them  otherwise  fi-ee  to  fol- 
low their  own  pursuits  of  industry  ana  improve- 
ment, and  shall  not  take  from  the  mouth  of  labor 
the  bread  it  has  earned,"  is  the  hope  of  the  people  in 
adversity  and  their  security  in  prosperity,  and  that, 
under  such  a  government,  which  it  is  the  duty  of  the 
Democracy  to  maintain  and  perpetuate,  any  resort  to 
force  or  to  violation  of  law  or  invasion  of  the  rights 
ofperwmorof  property  to  redrew?  grievance  is  need- 
lesR  and  at  war  with  free^  institutions,  tmder  which 
the  only  rightful  remedy  is  by  frequently  recurring 
elections  of  representntives  of  the  people  in  State 
Leeislatures  and  in  the  Federal  Congress  to  ac^om- 
pliwh  the  will  of  the  majority  which  should  be  ac- 
cepted a?  the  voice  of  all. 

Srventh—TXiBX  mriny  of  our  rich  men  have  not 
been  content  with  equal  protection  and  equal  bene- 
fits, but  have  besought  us  to  niNko  them  richer  by 
act  of  Congress,  and  by  attomptinfi;  to  grnti^  their 
desires  we  haye,  as  the  results  of  our  legislation,  ar- 
rayed section  against  section,  interest  acaiunt 
interest.  man  against  man,  in  fearful 
commotion,  and  therefore  the  grants  of  the  Legisla- 
tnres  of  the  States,  or  by  Congress,  of  exclusive  priv- 
ilpRCS  and  the  establishment  of  odious  monopo- 
lies under  the  pretext  of  public  bene- 
fit,  or  of  justice  to  certain  wctions  of 
the  country,  are  direct  assaults  upon  the  equal  rights 
of  the  people :  and  as  these  monopolies  have  been 
contrived  to  enrich  tlie  few  while  a  lar^  number  of 
the  people  are  reduced  to  want,  the  Democracy  of 
Pennsylvania  nrotcsts  against  subsidies,  land  pmnts. 
loans  of  the  public  credit,  .ind  appropriations  of  the 
people's  money  to  any  corporation  as  legalized  plun- 
der of  the  tax-paying  industries  of  the  countn.-. 

Eighth— Th.&t  we  look  with  alarm  and  apprehen- 
sion upon  the  pretension"  of  the  great  transportation 
companies  to  be  above  the  fundamentol  laws  of  this 
Commonwealth,  which  govern  sU  else  within  our 
borders,  and  until  Tney  accept  the  Constitution  of 
1873  in  good  faith  tliey  should  remain  objects  of  the 
utmost  \-igjl8nc6  and  jealousy  by  both  the  Legisla- 
ture and  people. 

Jtcsolced.  That  we  hereby  reaCflrm  and  adopt  the 
financial  resolutions  of  the  National  Democratic  plat- 
form adopted  at  St.  Louis  in  1876. 

Mr.  Farquhar,  of  Schuylkill  County,  offered 
the  following  amendment: 

Resolved,  That  we  are  in  favor  of  silver  and 
United  States  Treasurj-  notes,  popularly  called 
greenbacks,  being  made  full  legal  tenders  with  gold. 
and  demand  that  ^d  Treasury  notes  be  substituted 
for  the  national  YtJSk  currency,  and  that  all  banks  of 
issi^e  be  abolished. 

ke*olved.  That  we  are  in  favor  of  paying  the  re- 
deemable United  States  bonds  in  leeal-tender  money, 
equivalent  to  their  market  value  in  gold,  and  that 
Congress  authorize  and  require  the  United  States 
Treasurer  to  »nrchH»*e  said  bonds  in  open  market, 
and  for  that  purpose  authorize  the  issue  of  the  neces- 
Rar\-  legal-tender  notes,  all  legal-tender  no>s  to  be 
convertible  into  United  States  bonds  bearing  inter- 
est not  greater  than  4  per  cent,  per  annum. 

3Ir.  Ck>flfroth  raised  the  point  of  order  that 
thoy  were  out  of  order  under  the  order  of  busi- 
ness established  by  the  convention.  The  CTiair 
sustained  the  point  of  order,  and  the  original 
resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted. 

The  convention  then  proceeded  to  nominate 
candidates.  The  following  gentlemen  were 
nominated  for  Supreme  J^udge :  Hon.  John 
Handley,  of  Luzerne  ;  Hon.  Pnrman  Sheppard, 
of  Philadelphia;  Hon.  James  Otterson,  of  Phil- 
adelphia ;  Hon.  Edward  S.  Golden,  of  Arm- 
strong ;  Hon.  John  Trunkcy,  of  Venango :  Hon. 
Samuel  B.  Wilson,  of  Beaver ;  GeOi^.  G. 
Barclav,  Es*!-.  of  Berks  ;  Hon.  Perry  L.  Wickes. 
of  York  ;  Hon.  A.  B.  Longaker,  of  Lehigh. 
The  following  gentlemen  were  named  for 
Auditor-General :  Ovid  F.  Johnson,  of  Dau- 
phin; William  P.  Schell.  of  Bedford;  Charlo.i 
B.  Brockway,  of  Columbia;  Robert  E.  Patter- 
son, of  Philadelphia;  Thomas  J.  Ham,  of 
Wayne:  Major  B.  H.  Foster,  of  Centre;  Col. 
W.  "Cooper  Talley.  of  Delaware,  and  G^n.  W.  W. 
H.  Davis,  of  Bucks.  The  following  gentlemen 
were  named  for  State  Treasurer:  Amos  ('. 
Noves,  of  Clinton:  Daniel  O.  Barr.  of  Alle- 
ghenv ;  Hon.  Joseph  Powell,  of  Bradford,  and 
Hon.  Justus  F.  Temple,  of  Greene. 

The  convenrion  then  proceeded  to  ballot  for 
Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court.  Two  ballot.'*  were 
had  without  results  During  the  third  ballot  the 
vote  was  verj-  close  between  Tninkey  and  Sbep- 
pard.  and  great  confusion  etLsued  when  the  del- 
egates who  had  voted  for  Handley  and  Golden 
beean  to  change  their  votes.  At  one  timea  regular 
old-fashioned  Democratic  row  seemed  immi- 
nent. A  delegate  sprang  upon  the  desk  and 
changed  his  vote  from  Handley  to  Tninkey.  A 
rush  was  made  in  his  direction  from  several 
parts  of  the  house,  and  it  seemed  as  if 
he  would  be  roughlv  handled.  By  the 
interference  of  peacefully  inclined  delegates 
order  was  at  length  restored.  Then  the  Chair- 
man announced  that,  owing  to  the  great  con- 
fusion which  prevailed  when  the  changes  were 
made,  the  clerks  were  unable  to  report  what  re- 
sult had  been  reached.  A  fourth  ballot  was 
ordered,  when  ail  candidates  except  Tninkey 
and  Sheppard  were  dropped. 

The  floor  of  the  convention  was  then  cleared 
of  all  except  delegates  and  members  of  the 
press.  ThLs  done,  Uie  fourth  ballot  was  taken, 
which  resulted  as  follows:  Sheppard,  124; 
Trunkey,  125.  Mr.  Tmnkey  was  declared  nomi- 
nated. 

A  motion  to  *  adjourn  untU  to-morrow  was 
voted  down,  and  a  ballot  for  Auditor-General 
was  taken,  with  the  following  result:  Ovid  F. 
Johnson,  10 ;  Charles  B.  Brockaway,  27 ;  Wil- 
liam P.  ScheU,  114:  W.  Cooper  TaUey.  10; 
Robert  E.  Pattison,  3G  ;  Foster,  6 ;  W.  W.  H. 
Davis,  27 ;  Ham,  9 ;  whole  number,  232 ; 
necessary  to  a  choice,  117.  The  names  of 
Brockway.  Talley,  Johnson,  and  Foster  were 
then  withdrawn. 

The  second  ballot  resulted :  Schell.  173;  Pat- 
tison, 11 ;  Davis,  29;  Ham,  22.  Mr.  ScheU's 
nomination  was,  on  motion  of  S.  A  Bridges, 
made  unanimous. 

Balloring  for  State  Treasurer  was  then  begun. 
The  first  ballot  was  as  follows :  Noyes,  tiS ; 
Barr,  96 ;  Powell.  31 ;  Temple,  30.  No  choice. 
•  Here  a  second  attempt  was  made  to  adjourn 
the  convention,  which  failed,  the  large  ma- 
jority of  tlio  delegates  apparently,  being 
anxious  to  get  the  job  off  their  hands 
as  speedily  as  possible.  Balloting  for 
State  Treasurer  was  begun  with  the  lines 
drawn  for  a  stubborn  fight,  which  wae  kept  up 
widi  varying  fortunes  through  five  ballots, 
when  victory  perched  on  the  banner  of  Col. 
A.  C.  Noyes,  of  Clinton  Cotmty.  The.last  ballot 
was  had  amid  great  excitement.  Hisses  and 
cheers  greeted  the  various  changing  of  votes, 
which  were  made  from  Mr.  Powell  to  Noyes 
and  Barr.  The  Chair  experienced  great  diffi- 
culty in  preserving  ordeif  within  the  last  hour 
of  the  convenrion. 

Despite  the  efforts  made  dtirin^  the  last  two 
days  to  change  the  current  of  opinion  in  favor 
of  other  candidates, the  efforts  of  the  convention 
resulted  in  the  choice  of  the  three  gentlemen 
named  in  my  first  dispatch  as  likely  to 
succeed,  namely:  A.  C.  Noyes,  William  P. 
ScheU,  and  John  Tmnkey.  William  McLel- 
land,  the  present  Chairman  of  the  Democratic 
State  Central  Committee,  was  re-elected  to 
fill  that  position  for  the  ensuing  year. 
After  the  transaction  of  the  usual  routine 
business  the  convention,  at  2:55  o'clock,  ad- 
journed Bine  die^  apparently  well  satisfied  with 
the  day^s  work.

—  STANLEY  MATTHEWS*  SENATORIAL 
PROSPECTS  — DEMOCRATIC  DISSATISFAC- 
TION WITH  MR.  BISHOP — A  PLAN  TO 
SACRIFICE  HIM  AJTO  PUSH  THE  LEGISLA- 
TIVE TICKETS. 

Special  Diapatch  to  the  yew-YorIc  TimeM. 

Cincinnati,  Aug.  22.— The  work  of  the 

Hamilton  County  Repnbllcskn  Convention  tt>- 
day  has  not  advanced  the  prospects  of  Stanley 
Matthews  for  the  United  States  Sonatorship. 
Of  tho  14  men  nominated  for  the  Legislature 
only  one  or  two  are  avowed  supporters  of 
Matthews.  Several  more  would  pxerhaps  vote 
for  him.  but  if  electod  they  will  go  to  Columbus 
unpledged.  The  ticket  nominated  is  in  the  main  a 
strong  one.  The  four  men  selected  for  the 
Senate  are<araong  the  foremost  citizens.  One  of 
them,  Louis  Seasongood,  is  a  prominent  Jewish 
banker.  Among  the  nominees  for  the  lower 
house  is  George  W.  WilliaTns.  Pastor  of  the 
Colored  Baptist  Church.  His  nomination 
was  demanded  by  the  colored  men,  who 
have  complained  loudly .  that,  while  they 
have  always  voted  with  the  Republican  Party, 
they  have  never  had  representation  of  anv  kind. 
There  was  strong  opposition  to  the  nomination 
of  Williams,  and  the  balloting  on  his  name 
lasted  three  hours.  He  is.  however,  a  man  of 
acknowledged  abilities,  and  in  his  speech  to  tho 
convention  made  a  most  favorable  impression. 
The  German  element  is  liberally  represented  on 
the  ticket,  and  the  belief  is  entertained  that  the 
Liberal  Germans  will  generally  rally  to  its 
support.  If  they  do,  the  county  will  go  Repub- 
lican without  doubt. 

The  Democratic  di.^satisf action  with  their 
Gubernatorial  candidate.  Bishop,  is  increa.'=ing 
every  day,  and  there  is  open  talk  of  forcing  him 
from  the  tickets  The  Commercial  this  morning 
prints  a  damaging  disclosure  relative  to-a  trans- 
action of  his  with  the  Society  of  Or- 
thodox Friends  in  this  city.  The  Gazette: 
to-morrow  will  as.<^l  him  on  his  So.uther^ 
Railroad  record,  which  is  known  to  be  very  lame. 
Strenuous  efforts  are  being  made  by  tho  local 
managers  of  the  Democracy  to  reduce  the  size 
of  their  convention  on  Friday  and  nominate  a 
good  connty  ticket,  and  the  result  is  a  lively 
war  in  the  camp.  Senator  Thurman  is  here  in 
person  to  push  the  matter  through.  It  is  whis- 
pered about  pretty  generally  that  the  plan  of 
the  Democracy  in  this  city  is  to  sacrifice  Bishop 
and  secure  the  Legislature.  It  is  apparent  at 
the  start  that  no  mc-ans  looking  to  the  control  of 
the  -Legislature  will  be  neglected  by  the  Demo- 
crats anywhere  in  the  State.

Indianapolis,  Ind.,  Aug.  22. — At  6 
o'clock  this  evening  advices  from  Senator  Mor- 
ton, who  is  now  at  Richmond,  in  this  State, 
were  very  unfavorable.  He  had  been  suffering 
all  day  with  a  severe  pain  in  the  right  side,  and 
Dr.  Bliss,  of  Washington,  had  been  .summoned 
to  return  on  the  earliest  train.  Privat4» 
dispatches  said  that  unless  a  change  occurred 
his  friends  might  prepare  for  the  worst.  At  10 
o'clock  this  evening  a  special  telegram  says: 
'*  The  Senator  rested  easier  since  0  o'clock." 
Dr.  Woodbum.  of  this  city,  had  arrived,  and 
after  consultation  with  Dr.  Thompson  decided 
that  there  was  good  ground  for  hope.

caused  by  imprudence  in  eating,  and  at  4  P.  M. 
to-day  his  condition  was  considered  critical. 
Two  hours  later  he  rallied,  and  uji  to  this  hour 
is  resting  comfortably.  Dr.  A\  oodburn  and 
Thompson  had  a  consultation  at  1 0  o'clock  to- 
night, and  decided  that  there  wa.s  no  immediate 
danger,  and  that  there  was  good  reason  for 
hope.

Atlanta,  Ga.,  Aug.  22.— The  Stat« 
Treasurer,  under  the  decision  of  the  Attorney- 
General,  would  not  advance  to  the  Constitu- 
tional Convention  more  money  than  wa«  appro- 
priated by  the  Legislature.  The  convention

Ex-Special  Treasury  Agent  Jayne  and  tbos« 
Interasted  with  him  in  the  prosecution  of  the  pris- 
oners he  captured  in  Chicago  last  Saturday  have 
been  playing  an  exceedingly  fine  game  duing  the 
past  few  days.  Tho  whcreabouta  of  the  alleged 
forgers  have  been  '  kept  i^ecret  w>  well  that 
even  the  Police  authorities  hare  been  unable 
to  learn  anything  abont  them.  They  arrived  here 
from  Chicago  on  Monday  afternoon  in  custody  of 
offieew  who  are  unknown  to  the  Now-Yol"t  and  Chi- 
cago Police,  and  w^ere  taken  at  onre  to  the 
Gilsey  HouKe.  Mr.  Jayne  had  come  on  on  a 
prerioui  train,  and  had  semred  rooms  for  them, 
with  the  privilege  of  not  iK-inir  registor<»d.  Jaj-ne 
himself  took  up  his  qtuirtent  at  the  Fifth-Avenue 
Hotel,  a  few  bk»ckji  below,  and  likewise  omitted  to 
aflfix  hia  autograph  lo  the  recJstry-book.  Mr. 
Wheeler  H.  Peckham.  cmin.*el  for  the  New-York 
Life  Insurance  Company,  and  United  States  Commis- 
sioner Davenport  were  immediately  nntifio*!, 
and  started  at  once  for  the  lJil.«iey 
House  accompanied  by  an  expert  stenographer. 
The  prisoners,  rjosely  guarded,  were  then  kuIk 
jected  to  a  rigid  examination,  lasting  over^tu'o  hours. 
The  stenographer  took  full  notes,  but.  by  Mr.  Pe^k- 
ham'R  orders,  has  n(tt  written  thorn  out  yet.  On 
TneKday  the  priwjners  and  tliiMr  utrango  cus- 
todians w^ere  transferred  from  the  Gilsey 
Hon<(e  to  the  Fifth-,V  venue  IToiel.  whero 
they  were  assigne*!  secludwl  rooms  without 
the  necessity  of  being  rejiistercd.  In  the  evening 
Commissioner  Davenport  vUited  them,  but  remained 
only  a  few  minntes.  No  examinaiion  "was  hod. 
Tmring  the  day  Mr.  Henrj*  E.  Knox,  of 
Pnllerton.  Knox  &  Crosby,  counsel  for  tho 
Union  Tmst  Tomiiany.  arrived  in  hot  Iin'.to 
from  the  country,  !n  response  to  a  telegram,  and 
took  a  room  at  the  hotel  to  look  after  the  interests  of 
his  clients.  His  first  act  was"  to  p«>*t  ex-I>ctertivo 
Georee  W.  Klder  oft  to  Saratoga  to  secure  somo 
needed  evidence  there.  Elder,  who  has  f o  r 
years  been  acquaiiiteil  with  the  paniea 
under  nrrcst.  went  on  the  first  Irriiu 
and  took  lodging"  at  the  Grand  Inion  Hotel,  where 
he  still  remains.  The  exnmiuntion  was  not  continued 
oi^  Tuesday,  but  it  was  yesterday.  On  being  Hp. 
proached  in  regard  to  the  turning  of  his  hotel  into  a 
prison  on  Tnesdfiy  ni^ht.  Mr.  (iriswold  ostentatiously 
gave  orders  to  have  them  turned  oat.  sajin^c  he  did 
not  want  any  sach  T>ersons  there,  but  whether  his 
orders  were  carrie<l  out  or  not  could  not  be  learned. 
It  was  reported  yesterday  that  they  had  been  trans- 
ferre<l  lo  the  Albemarle  or  the  Brunswick,  but  this 
wns  denied  at  tlioise  tdaces.  It  is  probable  that  they 
are  still  at  the  Fifth- Avenue.  " 

Tlie  men  under  arrest  nn-.  as  h»«  already  been, 
published,  T.  .T.  Henderson,  Nelson  A.  ( iessner,  and  Kly 
B.  Weston.  Henderson,  otherwise  known  as  Stevens 
in  this  case,  is  supi>o)*ed  to  be  the  chief  and  barker  of 
an  organized  gang  of  forgers  which  includes  George 
W.  Chadwick.  !>.  -\.  Brown.  Joseph  Incallf*.  W.  .T.  Kee, '

on  Sixth-avenue,  where  lie  owns  several  bouse;;,  and 
another — an  elegant  inan.sion — at  ItahwTiy.  N.  J., 
where  he  keeps  up  sreat  style,  including  liorses  and 
carriages,  ana  is  highly  respected.  Hu  is  cT^ditcil 
with  being  a  eomparativelv  rich  man.  Hw  osienMbla 
bn.sInos.s  is  that  of  n  spccnlntor  in  stocks  and  crain. 
He  baa  bc-en  assoe-iated  ■with  <Tessnpr  Jind  Weston,  vy 
the  knowledge  of  the  l*olif:-e.  for  11  years.  Weston, 
at  that  time  called  himself  a  dtwrt  or.  and  Siiid  iio 
came  from  Chicago.  His  hpecialtv  was  the  cure  of 
stammering,  and  it  is  said  he  wa-s  highly  succcs-^ful 
in  his  treatment,  aud  did  a  eond  business.  Another 
of  the  party  then  was  a  I>r.  J.  B.  Stone,  who  ran  a 
distiBery  on  the  ontskirtj>  of  Brooklyn.  By  repre- 
seutine  that  he  had  secured  the  confidence  of  a  clerk 
in  the  employ  «if  the  eovemment  bureau, 
for  the  desTmctiou  of  c^Ied  imnds  he  in- 
duced his  friends  and  a  number  of  per- 
sons now  in  bnsiness  in  this  City,  and 
retarded  as  resix-ctable,  to  eonlribute  tw  a  j>ool  of 
:jilCN0.OOO.  The  scheme  was  to  pay  this  .inionnt  to 
the  clerk  in  question,  who  would  in  return  hand  over 
to  the  eon.^pirators  $&00,OOo  uf  lionds  which  Imd 
hc*en  intrusted  to  him  to  destroy.  The  bonds  were 
to  be  taken  to  Europe  'and  ^Id.  '\\"hen. 
Stone  got  the  money  in  his  possession  ho 
quietly  departed  for  Europe  himVelf.  lenringthe  r^-sti 
of  the  ji-anc  in  the  lurcli.'  Gessner,  wiieu  a  youth, 
was  airested  by  Detective  Elder  on  a  clmfqe  of 
forgery,  bnt  was  discharged  for  want  of  evidence. 
He  afterward  became  Lieutenant-Colonel  of  the  Mo- 
z:trt  Keghuent.  He  is  also  a  man  of  considerable 
means. 

Weston  at  one  time  was  in  the  real  estate  bnsiuess 
in  Cedar-street,  in  partnership  with  a  man  named 
Ball.  He  absconded,  leavins  a  larpe  amount  of  delns 
beliind  him.  In  April,  1^75,  Capt.  Sampson  and 
Ser^t.  K-iely  learned  that  an  attempt  was  to  be  made 
by  Sprajrue.  who  was  also  known  in  the  affair  a* 
Thomas  Betts,  alias  Thompson,  aud  John  R.  Raymond,

the  latter  firm  Tor  the  purchase  of  C'ld.  Mr.  Wi:?*- 
low  pronounced  it  genuine.  Friedman  &  Co. 
accepted  it.  and  the  Third  National  Bank  paid 
it,  A  few  days  later  an  attempt  w«ji 
made  t.o  cash  *  another  simU-ir  cheek  for 
$.54,000,  but  suspicion  was  raised  and  bolU 
checks  were  discovered  to  be  forgeries.  The  ThirJC 
National  Bank  was  at  the  1o.sk  of  tho  $26,086  '.5 
check,  and  was  obliged  to  pass  a  dividend  in  co:  fit^ 
quenco.  Messrs.  Friedman  &  Co.  could  give  nt>  clue 
to  the  perpetrators  of  the  foigerj',  they  'jcing 
strangers  and  several  days  having  elapsed ;  but  Capt. 
Sampson  and  Sergt.  Kiely,  on  examining  th9 
forged  stomp  on  the  check  nnder  a  micros 
scope,  came  to  the  conclu^ou  that  it  waa 
the  woric  of  the  same  hands  as  thoso 
that  had  to  do  T\ith  the  Colgate  &  Co.  t^eck  in  tfas' 
I'arker.  Hsnily  &  Co.  affaic  They  therefora 
shadowe<l  Sprague  and  Greasner  for  some  time.,  OnC 
■Rithont  securing  sufficient  evidence  against  them. 
On  the  2d  of  Januar}-  last,  S.  "L.  Blood,  a  New-street 
broker,  passed  a  foreed  check  for  $G4.,000.  pur- 
porting to  be  drawn  by  the  New-'kork 
Life  Insurance  Company  on  the  Union  Trust 
Company,  In  part  payment  for  $S0,000  in  gold. 
Blooa  said  he  got  the  check  from  George  Maxwell, 
who  said  he  Mt  it  from  (ieorge  W .  Chadwick.  impli- 
cating L.  A.  Brown.  All  these  parties  were  arrested. 
Brown  has  been  discharged.  Maxwell  Lsouton  bail,  and 
tThadwick  is  in  Ludlow-Street  Jail,  -^obn  after  Sprague 
and  Gessner  went  West,  and  in  Pebriihry  swinged 
the  I^rst  National  Bank  of  Chicago  and  the  Unioa 
National  Banlc,  of  the  same  city,  out  of  $*2,500  and 
St!,  300  respectively,  by  means  of  forged  drafts  pur- 
portiiig  to  have  been  drawn  by  th©  First  National 
Bank  of  Milwaukee. 

About  four  months  ago  Mr.  Jayne,  who  has  be«n 
rusticating  in  the  northern  part  of  the  State  «nce 
hiB  dismissal  from  the  Government  service,  obtained 
a  cine  implicating  Sprague.-  Gessner,  and  W»8ton 
in  the  Tliird  National  Bank  aud  Union  Trust 
Company  forgeries.  Ho  at  once  communi- 
cated mth  the  counsel  of  those  two  in- 
stitutions, and  was  employed  by  them  to 
follow  it  np.  Hnkerton's  Agency  had,  meantime, 
been  engaged  in  following  np  the  case,  but  had  not 
struck  on  Jayne's  cine.  This,  it  is  reported  on  good 
authority,  implicates  one  of  the  officers  of  the  in- 
mrance  companv.  The  names  of  Jayne's  assistanta 
M  given  In  the  Chicago  dispatches  are  not  recognized 
here.  The  story  of  the  i:apture  and  of  the  method 
of  the  forged  work  has  already  been  fully  given.  Tho

Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Atig..  22.— The  people  who 

have  mndo  a  regular  annual  pilgrimage  to  Saratoga 
during  the  past  10  or  a  dozen  years  annually  look 
oat  about  this  time  fora  cold  north>easter;  bat  here  it 
is  the  22d  of  Angost,  and  the  thermometer  marks 
?3®  in  the 'shade.  The  vitality  of  "the  season" 
is  thus  accounted  for,  and  although  It  com- 
menced poorly,  it  bids  fair  to  end  in  a 
manner  more  satisfactory  to  the  hotel-keepers  than 
fenerallyantlri-viteil.  Of  coarse,  the  race  meeting 
ha.s  been  the  attractive  feature  that  liaa  kept  the 
crowd  here,  end  the  extra  races  next  week.  In  con- 
junction with  the  regatta,  will  keep  up  the  tntereat 
until  the  1st  of  September.  There  baa  ibeen 
something  of  a  tempest  aroused  over  the' 
misuse  of  complimentary  badges,  and  the 
ejectment  of  several  persons  from  the  eottrso  in  con- 
sequence has  created  considerable  comment.  It  ap- 
pears that  certain  faackmen  who  were  licensed  to  take 
.poojilc  to  the  grand  stand  were  given  badges  admit- 
rincthem  to  the  privileges  of  the  quarter  stretch, 
riicse  some  of  them  sold  at  a  small  price,  and 
ieveral  well-dressed  men  appeared  with  thp  tell- 
tale badges  peniient  from  their  coat  bntton-holea. 
riielr  sumraarv  ejectment  yesterday  was  a  natural 
sequeace,  and  as  tlijv  were  well-known  Saratoglans, 
tlie  matter  occasioned  some  excitement.  The  chief 
annoyance,  however,  has  been  in  the  transfer  of  com- 
plimentary badjOi  with  the  namea  of  well-known 
gentlemen  on  them-  Several  of  thefte  have  been 
taken  from  the  persons  of  the  wearers  by  Mr,  Mo> 
riss(»y.  who  captured  sis  of  them  yesterday,  bitf  to 
&\  oid  a  f^caiidal  he  refuses  to  make  the  names  public. 
To-morrow  is  the  siith  regular  day  of  the  meeting. 
There  are  four  races  on  the  programme,  but  one  of 
them — the  two  and  a  half  mites — iriU  be  a  walk  over

CBBAP  LABOa  IK  AMERICA. 

fho  Glasgow  JVeics  of  Aug.  S  s»ys  editor- 
ally  :  "A  misleading  paragnipb  has  appeared  in  the 
columns  of  some  newspapers,  Ineluding  our  own,- 
hsTOig  an  important  bearing  upon  the  lock-ont  on 
the  Clyde.  The  stotement  was  to  the  aSeet  that  tha 
Anchor  Liner  Australia,  lately  sent  to  Amerlea  to  be 
completed,  was  on  her  way  ha«k  unfinished.  In  con- 
6«(iuoBce  of  the  Amarieans  having  decUned  to  toacb

bore  The  facts,  however,  are  exactly  the  reverse. 
The  steamer  Australia  lias  been  completed  in  an 
American  J•l^d  in  abont  oaehalf  the  time  which  it 
would  hsvo  taken  to  complete  her  on  the  Clyde,  and 
St  t%vo-thinl3  aie  cost.  Kha  is  nowon  her  way  with 
a  iuU  raiEO  to  London,  where  she  wffl  bo  placod  on 
the  berth  for  a  return  Joniney  to  New-Torit.  The 
lesson  to  be  drawn  from  thwe  facta  1»  ateaort  too 
apparent  to  need  comment-  H  *»i..„r«E,^_S9

imder  these  dretuostaneeB  to  give  their  eontnwit  to 
New-Tork  yarAa.  They  wiH  get  their  worV  don« 
cheaper  and  more  expeditionRry.  That  will  be  very 
satlfitartOTy  for  the  ship-owners,  but  how  doe*  it 
effect  th"  work-people  ?  It  la  apparent  that  the  ajbun- 
dance  of  labor  in  the  States  has  redueed  iragoa  to' 
such  an  extent  that  America  seems  likely  to  dnw  to 
its  markets  purchasers  of  manufactured  articles.  It 
used  tjQ.  be  a  sentiment  common  amone  work-people 
on  strike  that  if  by  any  chance  their  action  sent 
a  way  "their  trade  to  other  diatricu  thevcouldfollowthe 
trade.  This  sentiment  used  to  prevaQ  amonx  the  lace 
OTeratives  in  view  of  the  competition  withBelgltim. 
They  faid,  '  If  Belgium  gets  the  trade,  we'll  go  to 
Belgium  and  make  lare  there.'  But  the  xautake 
they  made  was  iu  forgetting  that,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  Clyde  shipwrights,  the  wages  are  lower  in  the 
places  to  whicn  the  trade  goes,  and  that  the  trade 
goefi  to  those  places  because  tlie  wages  are  lower. 
Eipatriatipn  on  low  wages  is  not  attractive,  but  in 
New-York  not  only  are  wages  lower,  but  the  cost  of 
living  is  higher.  Notwithstanding  this,  however, 
xnasteTs  can  get  work-people  on  more  economioal 
terms  than  in  this  conntry,  and  while  this  is  so  trade 
will  leave  us.  and  our  arusana  will  have  no  refuge 
from  starvation,"

EXPLOSION  AND  LOSS  OF  LIFE. 


A  GAS-TANK  IN  A  BLEECKEB-8TEEET  PAC- 
TORY  EXPLODES  AJfD  TEARS  A  WORKMAN 
TO  PIECES — A  VAST  MA0AZIN*E  OF  EX- 
PLOSIVES IN  THE  HEART  OP  THE  CITT. 
Yesterday  afternoon  at  3:30,  an  explosion 
occurred  in  the  manufactory  of  the  New- York  Cal- 
cium Light  Company  at  Nos.  41-1  and  416  Bleecker- 
atreet,  which  caused  the  almqst  in-stant  death  of  one 
of  the  workmen,  John  Boeriol,  a^ed  50,  of  No.  515 
Flashing-avenue,  Brooklyn.  He  wm  the  foreman  in 
the  shop,  and  was  finishing  the  tank  which  exploded 
at  the  time  of  the  accident-  Ttr'.s  tank  was  about 
four  feet  high  and  about  one  and  a  half  feet  in  diam- 
eter. It  was  filled  with  some  25  cubic  feet  of  oxygen 
gas.  It  was  made  of  the  best  boiler  plate-iron,  strong- 
ly riveted,  and  bad  been  tested  under  a  hydraulic 
process,  and  proved  capable  of  sustaining  a  pressure 
of  600  ponnds  to  the  square  Inch,  but  none  of  tho 
tanks  are  often  put  under  a  greater  pressure  than 
225  potmds  to  the  square  inch.  Boerini  was  patting 
a  brass  plate,  with  the  manufacturer's  address  on  it, 
on  the  top  of  the  tailk,  and  attempted  te  fasten 
it  by  soldering.  He  used  a  red-hot  soldering-iron  for 
that  purpose,  and  the  result  was  a  heating  and  con- 
sequent expansion  of  the  conlined  gas.  The  explo- 
sion ripped  the  tank  into  fragments.  The  top  was 
torn  off,  it  was  split  down  the  eutlre  side,  one  fall 
set  of  rivets  was  ripped  out.  and  a  piece  of  one  of  th  e 
«ide5  about  a  foot  in  diameter  was  blown  out. 
-Boerini's  left  side  was  torn  wide  ojpen,  his  right 
arm  lacerated  and  fractured,  his  upper  jaw 
broken  to  fra^nnents,  t  he  left  •  «da  of 
his  face  smashed,  and  his  right  thigh  torn  and  frac- 
tured. He  was  taken  to  New- Vork  Hospital,  and  lin- 
gered there  until -4:15,  when  death  put  an  end  to  his 
sufferings.  William  G.  Bant,  of  No.  33  Goerck- 
street,  Brookl>'n,  an  assistant  workman,  was  also 
hurt  by  the  explosion  about  the  hands  and  feet,  bnt 
not  so  seriously  as  to  prevent  his  taking  care  of 
himseL  and  going  home  without  any  assistance. 
The  windows  of  the  shop  fronting  on  Bleecker- 
street  were  completely  shattered,  and  those  on 
the  Hud-son  and  Bank  streets  sides  were  cracked. 
The  room,  which  Is  about  50  by  60  feet,  and  20  feet 
high,-waa  literally  filled  with  the  smoke  of  the  ignited 
ga-s,  and  the  building  set  on  tire.  Tho  noise  of  the 
explosion  and  the  dense  volumes  of  smoke  Issuing 
from  the  numerous  windows  created  great  excite- 
ment In  the  neighborhood,  and  soon  an  immcn.ie 
crowd  blocked  up  the  stceets.  The  Fire  Department 
were  promptly  on  the  premises  and  put  the  fire  out 
before  mucn  damage  was  done.  The  room  In  which  tha 
accident' occurred  occupies  but  a  comparatively  small 
comer  of  the  vast  huihling  in  which  it  is  located, 
which  occupies  100  feet  on  Bank-street  and  the 
whole  depth  of  the  block  between  Bank 
and  West  Eleventh  ttreets. .  There  were  nu- 
merotLS  other  tanks  of  all  sizes  filled  with 
gas  in  the  room,  some  quite  near  to  the  one  which 
exploded,  and  the  wonder  is  tliat  the  entire  large 
building  was  not  blown  to' atoms  and  between  60 
and  70  lives  lost  by  a  general  explosion.  That  this 
did  not  occtir  was  in  nowise  due  to  any  care  in  the 
handling  of  their  gas  displayed  by  the  company.

employed  in  the  Westmoreland  and  Pennsyl-

moreland County,  quit  work  yesterday  after- 
noon, and  resolved  that  they  would  not  re- 
sume wovk  until  their  demands  for  an 
advance  were  complied  with.  The  mines 
gave  employment  to  about  1,600  men.  Last 
night  a  force  of  from  30O  to  400  miners 
oreaniced  ani  marched  to  Spring  Hill,  a  point 
where  engines  on  the  Pennsylvania  Road  are 
coaled,  and  induced  the  miners  at  that  place  to 
quit  work.  All  the  mines  in  the  Irwin  district

Coal  Company  an  increase  of  wages  from  $175 
to  $2,  and  gave  the  Superintendent  time  to  hear 
from  NewOTork.  The  drivers  say  if  the  de- 
mand is  not  granted  they  will  strike.  It  is  not 
known  whether  the  drivers  at  other  mines  will 
make  a  similar  demand  or  not.

The  United  States  Consul  at  Eonf;  Kong, 
in  a  dispatch  to  the  Department  of  State  giving

of  tho  Governor  of  the  I'olony  on  the  anniver- 
anrj  of  his  great  nation,  and  the  Britij*h  Com-

inst.  he  presented  his  credentials  to  the  Minis- 
ter of  Foreign  Affairs,  who  is  also  President  of 
the  Swiss  Confederation,  by  whom  he  was  cor- 
dially received.  The  extension  of  the  protec- 
tion of  Swiss  citizens  by  our  diplomatic  and 
consvdar  officers  afforded  much  gratification  to 
the  President.  Mr.  Fish  thanked  the  Presi- 
dent for  his  hospitality  to  Gen.  Grant 
during  his  visit  to  Berne,  and  assured  him  tlmt 
the  reception  accorded  so  distinguished  a 
citiien  of  the  Unit«<f  States  would  be  appreciated 
as  a  token  of  frieuship  between  the  two  Repub- 
lics. 

There  have  been  26  applications  made  for 
appointment  aa  Post  Trader  at  Fort  Custer,  tha 
new  military  post  near  the  scene  uf  the  Custer 
massacre,  on  tho  Big  Horn  River,  Montana. 
The  Secretary  of  War  has  adhered  to  the  rules 
he  established  when  he  entered  tho  office,  and 
appointed  a  man  named  Borup,  who  was  rec- 
onmiended  by  the  Council  of  Administration  of 
the  post.  Information  has  been  received  here 
that  a  man  named  Cone,  from  EvansviUe,  lud., 
has  appeared  there  with  a  cargo  of  goods  and 
established  himself  as  Trader,  showing  an  ap^ 
pointment  from  tho  Secretary  of  War.  Secre- 
tary McCrary  says  he  knows  nothing  of 
Cone,  and  never  beard  of  him  till  he  was  in- 
formed of  his  anrival  at  Fort  Custer.  He  says 
that  he  will  make  no  exception  to  his  rule  in 
the  appointment  of  graders,  nor  will  he  recom- 
mend any  man  to  the  Council  of  Administra- 
tion of  any  post,  although  frequently  requested 
to  do  so. 

Gov.  John  L.  Pennington,  of  Dakota, 
writes  to  the  Commissioner  of  Agriculture  from 
Yankton,  Dakota,  Aug.  14,  saying:  "Our 
small  grain  is  all  h'arvestcd  and  now  being 
thrash^l,  and  is  generally  clearing  up  from  20 
to  35  bushels  to  the  acre.  There  are  now  no 
grasshoppers,  and  the  corn  was  never  so  promis- 
ing, and  I  consider  it  now  safe.  No  such  gen- 
eral crop  has  ever  been  produced  in  the  Terri- 
tory before,  and  the  people  are  in  splendid 
spirits.  Wheat  is  opening  at  75  cents  per 
bushel,  and  we  shall  have  millions  of  bushels 
for  the  Eastern  markets.  People  in  the  East 
who  want  homes  for  tho  purpose  of  making  a 
living  by  the  cultivation  of  the  soil  can  find  no 
better  country  than  Southern  Dakota,  and,  iti 
fact,  I  may  say  the  whole  territory,  for  agricul- 
ture IS  being  pursued  along  the  Red  River  of 
the  north  on  and  beyond  the  Korthem  Pacific 
Railroad  with  most  gratifying  success,  and  all 
the  land  not  already  entered  is  absolutely  free 
to  actual  settlers."

The  interest  is  greatly  increasing.  Rev.  J.  H. 
Coleman  preached  the  morning  sermon,  taking 
his  text  from  Matthew  xvlii.,  28.  He  spoke 
forcibly,  showing  man's  relation  to  God  and  the 
consequence  of  it  At  1  P.  M.  prayer-meetings,

MCIIDERED  BY  BIS  BROTBEB. 
MosTROSE,  Penn.,  Aug.  22. — ^Ayotingmcn 
named  Walter  Banker,  of  Liberty,  Susqueh-inua 
Coimty,  has  been  lodged  in  jail  at  this  place  to 
await  trial  for  the  killing  of  his  brother.  Addison 
Banker.  The  brothers  were  engaged  in  a  game 
of  base-ball.  A  dispute  about  some  point  in  the 
game  arose  between  them,  and  in  the  quarrel 
that  ensued  Addison  slapped  Walter  in  the  face. 
The  latter  drew  a  pistol  and  shot  his  brother 
through  the  hrca-st  inflicting  a  mortal  wound. 
The  fratricide  is  but  10  years  old,  and  his  victim 
was  24.  Addison  Banker  was  a  fireman  on  the 
Erie  Railwa}-,  and  was  a  young  man  of  good 
character,  but  hasty  temper.  'The  murderer's 
reputation  is  bad,  and  he  has  beep  in  jail  twice 
before.  Tho  brother  he  killed  supported  him 
and  an  aged  father  and  mother.  The  hard- 
heartedness  of  Walter  Banker  is  illustrated  by 
the  remark  he  mode  to  a  prisoner  in  the  jail, 
who  asked  him  what  he  was  committed  for : 
"  Oh,  only  for  killing  a  fellow,"  was  the  reply.

TEMPERANCE  AT  BONDOCT. 

RoNDOUT,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  22.— The  Murphy 
temperance  meeting,  under  charge  of  J.  C. 
Gobrigbt,  are  wonderfully  successful  here.  Tha 
number  of  signers  of  the  pledge  reaches  nearly 
1,600,  half  of  whom  are  known  to  have  been 
drinkers  and  many  habitual  drunkards.  Tha 
meetings  are  crowded  nightly,  and  although  no 
excitement  exists,  there  is  earnest  fervent  work 
being  done  by  the  co-operators  of  Mr.  Qobright. 
The  prevalence  of  intemperance  seems  to  have 
aroused  the  {>eople  to  the  necessity  of  action. 
Ainong  the  signers  are  persons  of  every  nation- 
ality and  creed.  The  movement  is  being  conr 
ducted  on  the  most  catholic  principles.  So 
great  has  been  the  efifect  on  the '  saloon  keepers 
that  they  have  formed  an  organization  to  oppose 
tho  work,  but  so  far  the  only  effect  has  been  to 
increase  the'  earnestness  of  the  temperance 
workers.

QX7ESTI0N  NOT  ONE  FOR  BLACK  UEN  TO 
TAKE-  SIDES  UPON. 
Something  leM  th&n  »  month  ago  John  D. 
Bagwell,  Chairman  of  th*  State  Central  Oonmuttee 
of  the  Colored  R«pnhUesn  Voteia  of  New-Jersey,  ia- 
saed  a  call  for  a  eonrentlon  to  be  held  at  Princeton. 
Primary  meetings  irere  beld«  and  yesterday  a  nam- 
ber  of  dele^tes  assembled  in  Cook's  Hall  to  consider 
what  should  be  done  in  the  coming  camoaign  by  tba 
colored    m«n   of  the    State.      It  seems  that  the 
distrost     of     the     Administrative     policy     which 
pervades     tho     members     of     the     white     State 
Committee  is  felt  among  tlie  colored  men,  and  it 
found  expression  in  the  conTention.     When  they 
met  yesterday  at  1  o*fllock  there  were  present  abont 
30  delegates  froy  Camden, 'Essex,  Mercer,  Middlesex, 
Somerset,  Union,   and  Hunterdon  Conntieg.    Tho 
C*hairman,  John  D.  Bagwell,  and  the  Secretary,  Wil- 
liam H.  Hopper,   of  the  State  Committee,  were  both 
abeent.    William  Gordon,  of  Princeton,  read  the  call 
for  the  convention,  which  sounded  the  key-note  of 
the  proceedings.    The  most  pointed  paragraph  was 
as  follows : 

"If,  as  some  think,  the  Bepnblicau  Party  has  run  its 
eonrse,  certainly  the  offe<!t  of  the  Pre&ident'B  Southern 
policy,  the  action*  of  Southern 'Democratic  authorities, 
and  ihefolterinr  of  Noithem  Republicans  plainly  indi- 
cate to  Oft  that  the  time  for  us  to  disband  aa  a  united 
people  boa  not  yet  come.  We  have  been  emancipated. 
Invested  with  the  ballot,  and  made  eligible  to  offlclat 
place  In  the  State  and  National  GoTcroment;  bnt  until 
we  shall  be  uetiure  in  the  •njoyment  of  all  the  richta, 
pri\'ilege»,  and  immnnltiea  of  American  citisens 
In  all  parts  of  this  country*,  it  is  our  imperatiTa 
dnty  to  be  a  people  of  one  voice.  As  yet.  we  cannot  af- 
ford to  be  djvided-  United,  we  are  to  etand  in  that  party 
which  hartcne  this  day;  united,  we  are  to  oppose  all  par- 
ties who  oppiise  or  even  retard  its  approach.  And  it  is 
hoped  that  our  ffeilcw-citlzenB  of  New-Jerecy  will  not  be 
alow  in  movinp  toward  the  accomplishment  of  this  great 
end.  Let  us  give  a  nniteil  Jersey  against  the  wrongs  and 
aofleriiiKs  which  so  many  ol  our  brethren  (if  we  ore  not) 
are  now  made  to  sustain." 

Jesse  Lawson,  of  Flainfield,  was  made  temporary 
Chairman,  and  B.  H.  Herbert,  of  Trenton,  Secretary. 
On  taking  the  chair  Mr.  Lawson  made  a  vigorotis 
address,  in  the  coarse  of  which  he  said  that,  though 
constitntioDaUy  free,  by  Invidious  distinction  the 
black  people  tiave  been  deprived  of  their  rights.  In 
the  South,  in  the  States  where  the  colored  people 
largely  outnumber  the  whites  and  should  have 
the  control  of  the  Governments,  by  "brute  force," 
he  said,  they  are  compelled  to  yield  to  a  band  of 
armed  murderers  and  to  an  arrogant  "  landed 
aristocracy."  He  paid  that  they  had  been  divided 
"by  Southern  prejudices  and  hoodwinked  by  Northern 
hypocrisy.  If,  as  has  been  said,  they  were  a  "dis- 
tinct ana  different  people,  forming  a  nation  within 
a  nation,"  questions  of  a  peculiar  interest  to  them- 
Belvea  must  arise  which  the  must  solve.  Of  primary- 
Importance  he  conslpered  the  question  of  education. 
Another  subject  which  Bhonld  occupy  attention  la 
that  of  the  acquirement  of  property,  and. with  prop- 
erty and  education  would  come  power  they  wanted. 
He  then  went  on  to  say  : 

"  In  this  country  there  are  two  great  parties,  differing 
In  doctrine  and  prtnclplea.  One  is  composed  of  ex-rebels 
and  troitorB,  toe  avowed  cnemieK  of  the  negro ;  the 
other,  founded  upon  tho  brood  bafla  of  equaUty  before 
the  law  Aud  exact  justice  to  all.  It  Is  nselecs  to  ask,  con 
wo  trust  the  Democratic  Party  I  for  this  has  been 
answered  negatively  for  17  consecutive  years.  But  the 
question  now  Is,  ran  black  men  trust  the  Republican 
party  I  In  these  times,  when  the  conntry  Ib  bo  divided 
on  fnance,  labor,  and  oapital.  It  \s  difflTult'to  tell  whether 
precedence  should  be  plven  to  tho  adju*lroont  of  these 
questions  by  tho  AdmmlEtratlou  or  to  the  penuaneut  es- 
tablishtuent  of  reconciliArion  hrtwc«n  the  North  and 
South,  at  the  expense  of  tbt)  hlazk  man's  constitutional 

rights.    On  the  <  th  of  November  Rutherford  B.  Hayes 


WB9  elected  Pret-iJent  of  the  Vnited  Statos,  and  bi 
declare*!  the  States  of  South  (.'arollna  and  Louisiana  for 


majority  of  one  vote.    Th©  same  returning  boards 


by  a 
that 


Haye«  and  \NTieelcr  declared  them  in  favor  of  Chamber- 
lain and  Po^kiird.  The  same  men  who  voted  for  Hayes 
»nd  "Wheeler  vot^-d  for  Chamberlain  and  Packard.  On  the 
Oth  of  March  Mr.  HaycB  was  Inaugurated,  and  honestly 
inducted  into  o!flce.  But  how  wa-*  it  with  Chamberiain 
and  Packard  I" 

Ho  then  described  the  proceedines  in  South  Caro- 
lina and  Louisiana,  which  he  declared  throw  tha 
pow?r  into  the  lianiis  of  a  wel ^-organized  opposition, 
nutwitliatandlng  the  majority  of  voters  in  tfaosd 
States  were  black  Republicans.  He  did  not  question 
the  President's  honesty  of  purpose,  or  his  intention 
to  do  right  by  the  bia'Jc  men,  bi!t  he  bad  no  con£- 
dence  in  the  means  employed.    He  continued ; 

"To  barter  owny  tho  liberties  of  a  people  and  to  an- 

£t-a»e  imttlacable  rebelx  Is  not  Just  the  right  thlog,"  sold 
e.  ■■  ana  I.  for  one,  deprecate  (lerionnly  any  such  pro- 
ceedinc.  Tell  It  not  in  (tath  that  In  the  States  of  South 
f 'arolinj  and  Louisiana,  our  brethren  being  wrongfully 
d^jirivfd  of  their  constitutional  rightK,  we  of  Kew-Jersey 
express  no  word  of  a>'mpBthr  for  them.  I  do  not  en- 
courag'i  an  attitude  that  would  ombarra-'ts  the  Preaideno 
In  hlfi  c</n<nllat<ir>'  nieai-areM  towaril  the  South,  bnt  muat

policy  is  not  calculated  to  subserve  tho  end  of  good  and 
careful  government  in  tho  South." 

This  speed  was  loudly  applauded. 

Tlie  convention  llieu  aj.ruinted  a  Committee  on 
Credentials  and  Oigauizatiou,  and  took  a  recess.  At 
3:3<>  o'clock  it  reo-saembled,  when  the  Committee  on 
Oi^nization  reported,  and  Rev.  R.  Fawcett,  of  New- 
Bmnswlck,  was  made  Permanent  Chairman,  and  J. 
Whippen  Pumell,  of  Esaex,  Secretary.  Rev.  Mr. 
Fftwceti,  on  taking  the  chair,  expressed  his  entire  ai>- 
proval  of  tlie  remarks  made  by  >Ir.  Larson  at  the 
early  session,  and  then  called  J'or  the  report  of  the 
Committee  on  Resolutions,  who  presented  the  foUow- 
inc; 

yjfsoJrirrf,  That  we  renew  our  fidelity  to  the  principles  of 
the  Motional  Republitan  Pitrty,  recognirine  in  them  the

Rftnlrtd  That  we  tender  our  support  to  the  tried 
friends  of  liberty  in  our  own  State  ano  elsewhere. 

Rev.  Henry  Higtiland  Gamett,  who  had  been  in- 
vited to  b«  present,  entered  the  hall  just  before  the 
resolutions  were  read,  and  took  a  seat  on  the  plat- 
form. The  resolations  were  taken  up  by  sections. 
The  first  was  adopted  witliout  discnaaion,  and  the 
second  was  immemntely  opposed  by  Mr.  Pumell  who 
con-sidered  that  the  labor  question  was  one  which  the 
black  men  should  not  meddle  with  just  now.  Their 
children  were  not  allowed  to  enter  the  trades  b.s  ap- 
prentices, and  they  themiielves  were  prevented  from 
laboring  on  the  railroads  or  other  works  in  the  same 
capacity  as  whit«  men,  and  be  did  not 
see  how  they  could  make  common  cause  with 
the  white  laborers.  Jesse  Tawsou  opnosed  Pumell, 
and  then  Rev.  H.  H-  Gamett  cotmseled  the  tabling  of 
the  resolution.  He  would  not  have  it  appear  that 
the  black  men  of  New-Jersey,  by  their  representa- 
tives, even  Chongh  few  in  number,  were  in  sympathy 
with  the  spirit  of  violenee  or  communism.  The 
labor  question  was  not  a  simple  question 
that  could  be  settled  to-d^y  or  to-morrow. 
He  would  not  he  prepared  to  say,  nor  ware  they  cer- 
tain, that  capitalists  were  tynnnieal  or  arbitrary. 
Colored  men  know  that  in  the  days  of  trial  uid  dis- 
tress capitalists  have  been  their  nest  friends.  They 
were  not  capitalists  who  In  the  draft  riots  hanged 
men  to  lampposts  and  dashed  ont  the  brains  of  lit- 
tle children  :  hut  they  were  capitalists  who  afterward 
raised  $d,000  for  the  relief  of  the  sufterers,  and  who 
paid  the  bills  incurred  by  the  rioters.*  This  speech 
settled  the  resolution  on  the  labor  question,  luid  it 
was  promptly  tabled.  The  resolution  approving  the 
civil  service  reform  was  then  adopted,  and  the 
section  concemine  the  "policy"  was  taken  np. 
Mr.  B.  H.  Herbert  thought  it  scaicely  wise  to  condemn 
the  President's  policy  tmtil  it  had  been  tried.  Presi- 
dent Grant  hod  not  succeeded  in  his  force  policy,  and 
it  would  be  well  to  wait  and  see  if  the  conciliatory 
policy  of  President  Hayes  would  answer  better. 
There  was  no  doubt  that  the  black  voters 
were  at  variance  witn  the  Administration,  and  dis- 
liked its  policy.  They  thought  it  humiliating  that  it 
was  deemed  necessary  to  bow  the  knee  to  the  oli- 
garchy of  the  South,  and  ask  the  rebels  to  protect  the 
black  man  they  had  fought  to  continue  in  slavery. 
Still  he  thought  It  would  be  In  bad  ta«te  for  the  conven- 
tion to  adopt  the  resolution.  Mr.  Thomas  A.  Schenck, 
ef  Princeton,  said,  in  an  apologetic  tone,  that  the 
resolution  had  only  been  put  In  as  a  feeler,  and 
suggested  that  It  was  sometimes  a  good  thing 
to  give  a  spanked  child  the  sugar-bowl  to 
keep  It  in  good  htimor.  This  stirred  Mr. 
Lqwsou's  blood,  and  he  objected  decidedly 
to  the  use  of  "feelers"  in  the  platform. 
He  said  be  knew  the  sentiment  of  the  black  Bepub- 
licans  of  Union.  ^Uddleaex,  and  £asex  Cotzntiea,  and 
it  was  unanimotuly  against  the  President's  policy. 
He  desired  to  enter  his  solemn  protest  against  it,  on 
behalf  of  the  voters  who  hi^d  instructed  him  to 
come  to  the  convention,  and  he  believed  that 
was  the  feeling  of  the  7. 000  black  voters 
of  New-Jersey.  Snould  they  approve  the  policy  they 
would  he  with  the  Democrats,  who  also  approvod 
it,  and  whatever  policy  the  Democrats  approved  they 
would  be  sure  was  not  good  for  them.  \Villiam  Gop- 
don  thought  they  had  enough  of  •' the  kid  glove  pot- 
icy,  "and  already  they  are  assured  from  the  South  that 
the  new  schemes  Of  protection  for  the  negro  had 
utterly  failed,  and  they  wei-e  at  the  mercy 
of  whi^e  leaguers  and  white-liners,  as  colored  men, 
and  kin  of  colored  men  in  the  South  they  entered 
their  solemn  protest  against  this  policy,  and  they 
woiUd  have  the  sympathy  of  all  colored  men  who  re- 
garded truth,  honor,  juBtlco  and  liberty.  He  be- 
lieved the  condition  of  the  colored  men  South 
was  100  per  cent-  worse  than  it  was  under 
President  Grant.  E*v.  Mr.  Garnet  had  a  few  words . 
to  say  about  the  policy-  He  said  there  was  no  use  to 
hide  the  fact  that  the  Republicans  are  divided.  It 
seemed  that  black  men  were  good  enotigh  for  soL 
diers,  but  in  peace  they  wore  ptished  back  to  what 
was  called  "  tneir  normal  position,"a«  a  hewerof 
wood  and  a  drawer  of  water.  He  believed  President 
Hayes  was  doing  what  he  considered  to  be  beet ;  but 
if  he  had  to  compare  him  with  President  Grant,  he 
would  say  tlukt.  there  was  ' '  mora  resolution  and 
bravery  in  the  flnger  of  that  silent  man  than 
in  tha  bodies  of  a  thousand  men  like  the  one 
who  U  now  at  the  head  of  the  Gov- 
ernment." This  provoked  loud  applause,  and  then 
the  tweaker  i^luded  to  the  Pinkaton  and  Chisholm

when  black  men  would  be  jnsOy  treated  aecordlng  to 
the  Constitution,  but  he  did  nob  think  h»  wouldlive 
to  see  it. 

A  laz]p  number  of  dele^tes  left  at  the  eloas  of  Mr. 
Garnet  ■  speech,  and  before  the  vote  was  taken,  so 
that  when  the  question  was  put  four  delegates  voted 
for  the  resolution  and  five  or  six  against  it.  The 
vote  which  rejected  it  waa  afterward  reconsidered, 
when  the  resolhtlon  was  tabled.  When  there  ap- 
paared  to  be  danger  of  ita  rejection,  the  Ctuurman 
expressed  his  disappointment,  and  said  he  hoped  the 
impression  wonld  not  eo  abroad  tliat  the  convention 
approved  of  the  President's  policy,  llje  last  re^lu- 
tion  having  been  adopted,  the  convention  then^"^ 
ceeded  to  a  variety  or  routine  business.  When  the 
taaaion  waa  over  it  came  out  that  tha  resolutions  as 
presented  bad  been  written  by  John  D.  Baynell,  who 
lain  Baltimore,  and  were  sent  on  by  him  to  b©  "'  ran 
through  "  the  convention  by  Mr.  Lawson.  Some 
remts  were  expressed  that  the  convention  had  been 
held  at  all,  and  Messrs.  Paroell  and  Brown  ex- 
pressed the  opinion  that  it  waa  a  mistake  to  hav« 
acted  before  the  Bepnblicani  of  New-Jersey  had  h^ 
their  convention.

the  awkwmrdest  politics  do  not  disttzrb  the  TtiH^ftntl

very  general  idea  indeed  has  got  abroad  that 
what  are  called  the  prizes  of  poblis 
life  are  not  worth  having,  and  the  shrewder  members 
of  good  society  are  turning  their  attention  more  and.

-TheBoard^f  Fire  Commissioners  met  yester-  !  some  10  or  12  acres  of  pleasure  ground,  cut  inic 


day  morning.  The  Tammany  Commissioners,  Messrs. 
Gorman  and  King,  were  the  only  ones  present,  Com-  , 
missioner  Perley  being  out  of  the  City.  The  nsnal  ' 
crowd  of  Tammany  politicians  was  not  in  attendance,  f 
as  it  was  known  that  nothing  bnt  routine  business  J 
would  be  transacted.  Gen.  Spinola  waa  present*  i 
nowever,  apparently  to  keep  the  Democratic  Com-  i 
missioners  in  mind  of  the  fact  that  "Boss"  Kelly- 
does  not  intend  to  let  them  do  anything  without  his  ' 
knowledge.  The  business  transacted  was  of  very  ' 
little  importance.  Fireman  John  Smith,  of  Engine  | 
Company  No.  7,  was  dismissed  from  the  department  j 
for  drunkenness.  His  offense  was  repeated  several  i 
times,  and  could  not  again  be  pardoned.     A  com-  '

characteristic  of  each  country.  Both  the  home  and 
out-of-doors  life  of  everv  people  in  the  worh* 
will  thus  be  made  visible,  as  well  as  thr< 
8tat«  of  art  and  commerce  among  them.  Upou 
their  part,  the  people  of  all  countries  not  Immediate- 
ly engaged  in  blowmg  each  other  up  by  various  sort^ 
of  gunpowder  seem  cre<t^tably  desirous  to  merit  thu 
msCTtincent  welcome  which  will  be  offered  to  them 
in  the  fairv  structures  now  rising  on  tho  fl'rocad^ro 
and  the  Champs  de  Mars.  The  Prince  of  Walea  Xf 
personally  announced  as  an  exhibitor.  His  Eoyai 
Highness  will  place  liis  collection  of  Oriental  cnriosi^ 
ties  at  tho  disposal  of  the  Commissioners,  and  it  wiU 
be  so  arranged  as  to  show  the  titate  of  art  and  indus- 
try in  India  at  every  epoch  of  historv.  The  ear» 
riage  out  aud  home,  the  packing,  unpacking,  and  set- 
ting  in  order  of  objects  so  v^nabie.  aud  often  so 
fragile,  will  occasion  an  expeui^e  somewhat  startling  : 


munication  was  received  from  the  counsel  of  Mat-  .        ■■ 


person  as  a  member  of  the  Fire  Department.  Mc- 
Caffrey was  injured  at  the  time  of  the  destruction  of 
the  old  Appleton  Building,  at  the  comer  of  Broadway 
and  Leonard- street.  In  1869,  and  was  confined 
to  his  bed  for  a  long  time.  Upon  his  recovery  he 
was  discharged  from  the  position  of  fireman,  anrf  waa 
appointed  a  bell-ringer."  He  was  removed  from  that 
position  in  1873,  and  has  since  endeavored  to  pro-. 
cure  reinstatement  in  his  former  place  of  fireman. 
The  Commissioners  ordered  Secretary  Juswn  to  in- 
fonn  McCaffrey's  counsel  that  bis  <Jient  had  been  le- 
gally displaced  and  they  would  not  restore  him. 
A  report  was  received  from  William  Terhuno,  Ip- 


j  to  Indian  trade  will  more  than  compensate  for  this 
necessary  outlay.  Meantime,  Mr.  Cunliffe  Owen, 
the  British  Commissary -tieneral,  has  rent>ed  a  fin* 
house  in  the  Avenue  Suffren.  There  he  delights  th& 
French  nation  by  bis  affable  manners  and  pleasing 
cookery.  In  the  aftemofjn,  when  it  is  fine,  he  drivet 
his  sprightly  staff  round  the  suburbs  of  this  metropo- 
lis in  a  mail  coach  ;  his  sprightly  staff  readily  di\-idin^j 
themselves  Into  convenient  parties  for  that  purpose, 
and  to  prevent  Mr.  Cunliffe  Owen's  coach  from  being 
overloaded. 

"Rnnsia  also  devotes  much  conrteotis  attention  to

Ber\*iceable  macuiuers  for  harness  are  to  be  had  at  »

"a  careful,  competent,  well-informed  man,  hut  ho 
apparently  thinks  that  his  wife  and  the  **  new  baby  " 
are  combustible  and  likely  to  explode  the  powder 
stored  near  their  anartments.  There  are  now  1,975 
ponnds  of  blasting  powder  and  15  cases  of  mining 
cartridges  on  the  vessel.  The  mining  cartridges,  it 
is  claimed,  the  report  says,  can  only  be  discharged  by 
electricity.  The  scow  never  leaves  her  moor- 
ings. Her  stock  of  powder  is  replenished  by 
sailing  vessels  that  bring  the  explosive  from  a  niaga- 
zine  m  New-Jersev.  As  the  powder  is  sold  it  is 
delivered  on  the  Ninety -eighth -street  dock.  In- 
spector Terhune  reported  that  tho  condition  of  tlie 
powder  schooner  ancnored  In  the  Harlem  River  is 
good,  as  she  is  substantially  built,  cleanly  kept,  and 
seta  so  low  In  the  water  tbat  most  of  tbe  powder  on 
board  is  below  the  water  lino. ,  There  were  at  the 
time  of  the  inspection  4,250  pounds  of  blastinc 
powder  on  board  the  vessel.  The  Inspector  reports 
that  the  locations  of  the  two  vessels  are  the  best  that 
could  be  selected  for  them  in  this  ^'icinity,  as  they 
are  not  near  any  high  tenements,  and  the  water  in 
which  they  lie  is  smooth.  The  directions  as  to  the 
amount  of  powder  allowed  to  be  kept  on 
board  the  vessels  are  said  to  be  care- 
fully followed,  and  the  Inspector  speaks  highly 
of  tbe  ffflcient  packing  and  handling  of  tbe 
powder.  The  pn<  kages  are  said  to  be  flraaly  made, 
and  to  be  coated  on-  the  inside  with  glue,  so  tbat 
tliere  can  be  no  leakage.  In  conclusion,  tbe  Iiisi>ec- 
tor  recommended  that  the  owner  of  the  boat  in  tho 
East  River  be  ordered  to  remove  the  keeper's  "wife 
and  new  baby, "  and  to  reeonstruct  the  upper  works 
of  the  vessel  and  coat  them  with  metal.  He  also  sug- 
gests t'liat  rules  be  made  that  all  powder  stored  on 
the  vessel  shall  be  contained  in  -o-poand  packages, 
and  that  none  of  the  new  patent  explosives — ffun-cot- 
ton.  or  fuHe,  with  tbe  ordinary  powder — bu  permitted 
on  the  vesaels.

Hon,  Vmcmt  C.  King,  PrrMdcnt^afAhf.  Fir^  Department  : 
Sm:    From  your  Iwtterto  m^or  the  19th  inst.,  and  the 

Fapcrs  therewith  transniitted,'  I  ascertain  the  folJowiug 
actii:  Mr.  Jam*^s  H.  Graham  baa  a  contract  with  the 
City,  dnted  June  13,  1877,  to  deliver  for  the  use  of  the 
Fire  Department  1.800  tons  of  eggcoaland  1,'JOO  tons 
of  Btovt.  coal.  Under  this  contract  Jit.  Graham  has  made 
deliveries  at  various  places,  and  it  appf«ra  that  the 
journal  of  Engine  Company  No.  3  ehows  that  tlie 
quantity  received  at  the  house  ot  that  company  Is 
4^5.1-5'poundi>,  while  the  actual  weight  of  the  coal  so 
received  is  only  35.533  p<^unds.  It""  also  appearR  tbat 
Mr.  Graham,  having  been  requested  to  funmh  a  bill  of 
the  coal  delivered  at  «aid  bonse,  presented  au  account  for 
3B,3G5  pound-i  of  egg  coal  and  1*2.000  pounds  of  stove 
coal,  with  T^yeipta  therefor,  showing  a  difference  be- 
tween the  actual  weight  aud  the  bill  as  rendered  of 
1.996  pounds.  Moreover  the  receipts  rendered  with  tha 
bills  by  Mr.  Graham  do  not  forrospond  with  the  journal 
entries  in  certain  inKtanceu,  Luder  these  circum- 
stances you  request  my  opinion  vrhether 
tbe  contmctor         nbould         be         permittea  to 

continue  the  delivery  of  coal  under  tbe  terms  of  tbe  con- 
tract, and  the  regulation-**  made  since  Its  execution  by  tha 
department,  or  whether  the  contract  can  or  should  be  an- 
nmled  and  relet  as  provided  by  law.  You  also  request  to 
be  informed  whether  hills  for  thesctual ascertained  value 
of  the  cnal  ihusfar  dobvcred  under  the  contract  should 
be  audited  in  the  usual  manner  by  the  Fire  Department, 
and  sent  to  the  ControHer  for  payment,  and  whether  tlio 
department  has  authority  to  adjust  and  settle  Mr. 
Gniham's  claims  upon  the  best  terms  which  can  be  made 
with  hlra  in  canes  where  the  actual  value  of  the  delivery 
cannot  now  l>e  definitely  aacertained. 

It  doca  cot  appear  from  the  paper*  submitted  to  me 
tbat  Mr.  <irahnm  has  attempted  to  defraud  the  City  by 
inducing  the  oificer^  of  the  department  to  give  him  credit 
for  a  greater  quantity  of  coal  than  be  has  actually  deliv- 
ered, or  whether,  after  th©  coal  had  been  ■wdgSied,  offi- 
cers of  the  department  or  wome  other  x>cr8ons  have  taken 
away  a  portiou  of  tbe  same.  It  does  not  make  any  dif- 
ference, however,  with  regard  to  tbe  Question  submittal 
to  me,  what  the  fscts  are  on  thi.<i  point.  Even  if  it  were 
true  that  Mr,  Graham  has  endeavored  to  defraud  the 
City  in  the  manner  indicated,  such  fact  would  not  of  it- 
self oi>erate  to  annul  his  cont7«ct,  nor  would  it  enab.a 
the  department,  if  w.  disposed,  to  rescind  the  same.  Tha 
contract  remains  in  full  force,  and  ilr.  Graham  bi  author- 
ized to  deb  ver  and  the  department  ia  bound  to  recelvo 
whatever  coal  remsins  to  be  delivered  under  it. 

With  regard  to  the  other  question,  I  think  the  depart- 
ment should  asceruin,  m  well  aa  It  can,  the  amount  of 
coal  actnally  dehvered  try  Mr.  Graham,  and  approve  his 
bills  for  tlia't  amount,  and  that  the  department  has  the 
authoriry  tti  adjust  and  eettle  his  claims  upon  the  pest 
terms  which  can  he  made  with  him  in  cases  where  it  la 
impoBetbie  to  ascertain  the  actual  amonnt  of  coal  de- 
livered by  blm.     I  am.  Sir,  vour»  reepecrfuIJy, 

W.  C.  WHITKEY,  Counsel  to  tho  Corporation. 

Mr.  Michael  Graham,  of  Avenue  A  and  Ninetieth- 
street,  the  father  of  James  H.  Qraham,  the  Tammany 
contractor  who  has  supplied  coal  to  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment, has  written  a  letter  in  reply  to  tbe  article  pub- 
lished in  The  Timks  of  Tuesday,  m  which  he  decUres 
that  the  scales  upon  which  the  coal  delivered  to  En- 
gine Company  Ko.  S  was  weighed  were  true.  In 
proof  of  this  be  has  sent  the  following  certificate : 

New-Yoei.  July  10.  1877. 

Wo  hove  this  day  sharpened  and  tested  with  United 
States  Standard  vreisihts  a  portable  coal  scale  for  3tr. 
Graham,  aud  we  hereby  certify  that  the  a^a  scale  la  cor- 
rect. JOSEPH  ^OBIDOUX  A  SON. 

IIo^211  Greene-street. 

Mr.  Graham  also  states  that  firemen  were  sta- 
tioned upon  the  dock,  and,  having  assisted  to  weigh 
the  coal,  they  signed  certificates  of  each  quantity  be- 
fore it  was  carted  away.  These  certificates  were  ^- 
terward  signed  by  the  foremen  of  the  engine  or 
trudc  companies  to  whose  quarters  the  ctMd  was 
taken.  Ho  says  that  the  firemen  on  the  dock,  as 
well  as  himself  and  his  son,  know  that  the  quantities 
of  coal,  wtieu  they  left  the  dock,  were  as  large  as  the 
certiflc^ites  represented  them  to  be.  If  they  were 
tampered  with  on  the  way  to  the  engine-houses, 
neither  ho  nor  liis  son  can  be  responsible.  In  con- 
clusion. Mr. Graham  states  that  "a  dark  conspiracy  " 
has  been  formed  to  injure  his  fair  fame. 


A  BSSE  VOLSyi  UAirS  MODESTY, 
It  is  stated  by  th©  Rochester  Union  of  the 
late  Lewis  Brooks,  of  that  city,  (the  "  unknown 
giver  "of  $GG.OO0  to  the  University  of  Viiginia.) 
that  the  extreme  secrecy  which  governed  his  deeds  of 
benevolence  was  induced,  not  only  by  the  motive  to 
do  his  alms  in  secret^  but  also  for  the  reason  that  he 
did  not  wish  to  become  known  as  a  rich  and  benevo- 
lent man,  and  be  constemtly  annoyed  by  letters  from 
adventurers  and  others,  telling  pitifiil  if  not  true 
stories  of  their  wants  and  unfortunate  circumstances. 
Prof.  Ward  onoe  urged  him  to  have  the  natural  his- 
tory cabinet  of  the  University  called  *"  Brooks' Cab- 
inet,''and  that  a  legend  to  that  effect  be  put  over 
the  main  eutrance.  ilr.  Brooks,  however,  declined, 
and  said  almost  angrily,  *'  If  anything  will  make  me

your  urging  me  to  allow  my  name  to  be  used  in  that 
manner."  It  is  also  related  by  one  of  Ins  bankers 
that  be  frequently  went  to  the  bank  and  drew  sums 
of  $50,  9100,  $150,  aud  so  on.  In  currency,  which  h« 
would  put  into  a  sealed  envelope,  and  then  ask  the 
banker  to  direct  it.  The  people  to  whom  the  money 
was  seqt  were,  it  is  believed,  persons  in  poor  circtim- 
stancea,  or  small  tradesmen  wno  were  in  difficulties. 
He  had  the  banker  direct  the  envelopes  so  that  be 
could  not  bo  traced  ont  by  his  handwriting.

Ambassador  to  tho  lYench  Republic  has  not  resumed 
the  interesting  conversations  of  his  predecessor,  who 
atlroitly  strove  to  mingle  discourse  upon  the  ff>r<eat 
Exhibition  with  vast  ideas  of  new  loans.  His  Turin sh 
Excellency,  now  present,  finds  little  joy  in  reeurrins 
to  the  subject  first  mentioned,  while  French  fiuuk- 
ciera  define  to  discuss  the  other.  Still,  S^ij-ma  and 
some  of  tbe  towns  in  Asia  Minor  will  perhaps  ba 
represented  in  an  Asian-ilinor  way.  Egypt  and  Tunis, 
however,  the  big  Mohammedan  vassals  of  the  Port«, 
mean  to  come  ont  strouglv  under  the  guidance  o? 
M.  Mariette  Bey,  M.  Oscar,  and  Baron  Jules  dc 
Lesseps.  Italy,  the  commercial  rival  of  France  in 
many  branches  of  trade  on  the  continent  of  Kurope, 
■will  take  rather  an  eazer  part  in  the  Exhibition. 
The  facade  of  tbe  Italian  section,  designed  by  M- 
ijazille,  mil  be  one  ef  the  architectural  marvelB  of 
next  year.  It  will  be  entirfiy  cohered  with  rich 
mosaics,  and  will  produce  an  enchanting  effect  when 
vitjwed  from  tho  central  garden  of  the  A^itlace  in  the 
ChamT>  de  Mars.  The  Italian  exhibitors  are  chiefly 
remarkable  for  the  excellence  of  their  furniture 
and  house  painting.  Austria  is  so  busy  that  the 
enormous  spaco  already  conceded  to  her  is  con- 
sidered insnfticient  for  the  multitude  of  her  ex- 
hibitors, and  she  has  made  further  demands  for 
room  which  are  difficult  to  grant.  Nevertheless,  as 
Austria  deidres  further  space  cniefly  for  the  aecziatt 
of  firgr*  axta.  it  is  proposed  to  give  ber  a  vast  aite  f ou 
the  erection  of  a  gaUery  of  pictures  and  sculpture. 
Belgium  has  appointed  a  sensible  Ooinmissioner  ia 
Count  d'Oultremont,  who  was  formerly  Belgitm> 
representative  at  tlie  American  Exhibition  at  I'liila- 
delpbia.  The  Count  bf  ing  thus  well  used  to  hii 
business,  has  done  it  so  well  that  hs  has  got  fa^ 
ahead  of  the  l^reneh  commiitees..and  his  conscien^ 
tious  activity  has  occasioned  some  amusement,  a;^ 
rt-sembliig  that  of  a  rider  resolved  to  reach  his  des* 
tination  before  the  horse  which  carries  him.  i 

-Holland  and  the  l>utch  exhibitors  are  wcH  con- 
tent with  tho  space  allotted  to  them.  Their  ehow 
will  be  extremely  prim  and  picturesque-  It  will  bu 
presided  over  by  solid  persons  of  both  sexes  in  their 
naTioiiHl  costume,  and  looking  most  majestic  whexi 
seen  from  behind.  The  only  slight  difference  which 
has  arisen  between  the  French  and  the  Dutch  is  that 
some  plump  persons  among  the  latter  demanded  that- 
vast  subtorranean  t-avems  should  be  constructed  un- 
df  r  their  section,  in  order  that  they  might  be  exdn 
sively  filled  with  Dutch  courage.  The  French  p». 
monstrated,  and,  after  a  prolo:iged  debate  in  which 
the  Dutch  declared  that  ardent  sparits  were  the  bigheel 
objects  of  art  discovered  by  philosophers  since  the 
ytar  1897,  before  the  Christian  era,  the  French  carrlec^

taste- for  the  romantic  and  will  turn  her  attentioi; 
moetly  to  the  manufacture  of  lace,  embroidery,  anc. 
carriages.  She  has  demanded  a  great  deal  of  steam 
power  to  exhibit  her  machines.  Portugal  is  making 
efforts  to  appear  to  advahtage,  both  artistically  and 
commercially.  The  King  himself,  an  eminentlj-

FLUXNCZ  F£ABEI>  BY  THE  EBOC  BOAD — 
HIS  PLAKS  FOB  THK  PtTTUBE, 
^  Barney  J.  l^nahae,  the  railroad  striker,  who 
aas  been  made  generally  notorious,  and  raised  to  the 
prominence  of  a  leader  among  disaffected  worldng 
men  by  the  prosecution  to  which  he  has  been  sub- 
jected by  the  Erie  E^way  Company,  was  released 
from  Lndlow-Street  Jail  yesterday  afternoon,  his 
term  ot  imprisonment  for  contempt  of  court  having 
expired.  The  order  of  release  was  brought  to  the 
Jafl  hy  Warden  TTstson  at  about  4  o'clock,  and  Dona- 
h«a  was  at  once  notifled  that  be  was  free  to  go 
whltherBoerer  it  might  please  him,  so  far  as  the  au> 
thorlties  ot  New- York  County  were  concerned.  Long 
before  this,  however,  be  was  aware  that  his  enjoy- 
ment of  freedom  would  be  but  brief,  as  he  had  been 
called  upon  at  S  o'clock  in  the  tuoming  by  tiherifl 
Sherwood,  of  Steuben  County,  who  notified  him  that 
he  would  be  rearrested  upon  his  discharge 
bom  jail,  and  taken  to  HoraellsviUe  to 
mtirar  to  a  charge  of  conspiracy.  Donahue 
and  Ms  counsel,  Gen.  i^ryor,  expected  all  along 
that  this  course  would  be  pursned  by  the  prosecu- 
tion, and  therefore  they  were  not  taken  by  surprise 
when  Sherljl  Sherwood  made  known  his  mission.' 
While  waiting  for  his  release  Donahue  was  exeeed- 
Isgly  eommimicativa  to-  all  who  desired  to  talk  with 
lilm  on  the  subject  of  Ma  troubles.  His  manner 
throughout  w:^  that  of  a  man  who  was  cheerfully 
tnifarhig  persecution  for  a  great  cause,  and  there 
Ufaa  more  or  less  of  self-sufficient  braggadocio  in  his 
nft-iepeated  remark  that  "the  railroad  company 
ym»  not  through  with  Mm  yet,"  meaning  that  he  had 
fManethtng  of  importance  to  say  and  do  after  all  the 
ndta  against  him  are  ended.  No  doubt  'the  man's 
bead  has  been  turned  by  the  notoriety  wMch  he  has 
ro  soddenlr  and  singularly  acMeved,  and  that  the 
thousands  of  letters  which  hare  been  sent  to  him  by 
penseless  and  thoughtless  people  in  all  sections  of  the 
coimtry  have  filled  him  with  the  notion  that  Ms  mis- 
^Ekm  is  to  lead  his  oppressed  fellow  worMm;  men 
out  of  bondage.  He  told  Tbx  Tdcss  reporter  that 
the  Erie  Bailway  Compsiny  did  not  care  to  punish 
him,  and  would  not  ondertJike  to  deprive  him  of  his 
liberty  if  It  was  any  other  time  but  the  present. 
The  object  of  its  persecution  now.  he  said,  was  to 
jceep  him  out  of  politics  temporarily.  Fearing  his 
Influence  tn the  coming  State  election,  the  railroad 
men  would  leave  no  meass  untried  to  prevent  him 
from  stirring  up  the  wQX;king  classes  to  a  sense  of 
thex^ wrongs  and  a  realization^  the  great  power  of 
the  ballot  wMch  tbev  hold  in  their  hands.  He  felt 
assured,  however,  that  they  had  gone  a  st«p  too  far, 
fmd  that  there  would  be  a  reaction  which  would 
overwhelm  them.  Mr.  MeFarland,  the  attorney  for 
tJie  Erie  Boad,  had  been,  and  was  still,  one  of  his  bit* 
tereet  foes,  and  the  most  dangerous  one,  because  the 
phrewdest,  but  he  had  overreached  .-^tm^'elt  Ho 
!  Donabae]  was  auxloos  to  get  back  to  Homellsville- 
That  ■was  whero  h»i  belomccd,  and  where  he  had  com- 
mitted the  crime  of  standing  ud  for  his  rigHts,-  and 
\hat  was  where  he  would  receive  an  ovatioir  on  his 
return  that  would  make  the  raili^aod  com- 
:nany  stare.  There  would  bo  no  trouble 
nboat  his  getting  bail  in  that  county,  for  his  home 
was  there  and  he  was  known  bv. every  one.  The 
men  whom  he  had  led  and  counseled  ia  the  strugslo 
n^ainst  those  who  would  have  trodden  them  under 
foot,  were  Impatient  for  his  return,  and  he  would 
Moon  be  amone  them.  The  possibility- of  his  conric- 
!:ion  on  any  charge  that  could  be  brought  against 
thim  was  bo  remote  that  he  gave  it  no  eousideration. 
The  reporter  said  he  understood  that  Mr.  Jewett, 
•»he  Receiver  of  the  Erie  Railway,  had  expressed  aK- 
'onlahment  when  Informed  that  arrangements  had 
been  made  for  Donthuo'a  arrest,  he  not  haTine  i*- 
"med  any  instructioDS  to  that  effect.  Donatine 
laughed  derisWely.  and  said  this  was  only  another 
lie  added  to  the  thousands  that  bad  been  told  about 
him.  The  idea  that  Mr.  Jewett  knew  nothing  about 
thematterwas  simply  absurd,  and  would  be  so  proved 
when  the  case  came  up  for  triaL  He  was  very 
plnd.  however,  that  Sheriff  Sherwood  liad  come 
xfter  him.  It  would  save  him  the  expense 
if  paytnx  Ms  own  fare  to  Homellsville.  whifiier 
he  would  have  gone  in  any  event  by  Friday  or  Sat- 
irdav.  When  asked  about  an  address  to  the  coon- 
rry  that  rumor  credited  him  with  purposing  to  issue, 
Donahue  replied  that  his  side  of  the  story  would  be_ 
•^ven  to  the  world  before  lon^.  His  arrest  and  , 
irbiirary  imprisonment  bad  raised  up  a  host  of  ' 
:friends  and  sympathizers,  not  only  in  this  country 
but  in  Europe,  and  they  should  have  an  unvarnished 
zaie  of  his  prosecutions  from  begizmiug  to  end. 
Already  he  had  sent  papers  containing  accounts  of 
ills  trial  to  Ireland  and  Germany,  but  he  would  soon 
be  able  to  send  thorn  a  paper  of  his  own,  wherein  the 
rmth  would  be  told,  no  matter  whom  it  micbt 
jinrt.  It  was  his  intention  to  stir  np  the  labor  In- 
^re»ts  in  the  old  countries. 

During  the  afternoon  Justus  Schwab,  the  beer- 
selling  Communist,  visited  the  jail  In  company  with 
two  othe^  Socialists  of  a  less  respectable  appearing 
type  at  least.  As  soon  as  they  entered  the  reception- 
room  Donahue  darted  forward  to  meet  them,  and 
obook  .Schawb  very  heartily  by,  the  hand.  He  then 
led  them  to  his  cell  in  the  interior,  where  thev  re- 
mained in  undisturbed  consultation  for  half  an  £our 
or  more.  It  is  said  that  the  subject  of  conversation 
between  them  wa<j  the  arraneing  of  a  hasty  labor 
demonstration  in  behalf  ot  Donahue,  to  take  place  at 
"the  depot  or  dock  at  the  time  of  his  leaving  for  home. 
If  this  was  the  object  of  Schwab's  visit.  Donahue 
had  sense  enough  to  put  a  stop  to  the  scheme  at 
pnce,  for  Schwab  and  his  friends  went  to  a  neiehbor- 
Jlng  beer  saloon,  and  remained  there  tmtil  the  prisoner 
made  Ms  appearance  on  the  street  with  Lis  new 
croakodian,  when  they  wafted  Mm  some  Communistle 
;aoai9)iments,  and  departed  for  their  homes.  There 
were  no  other  callers  during  the  day. 

Sheriff  Sherwood  was  in  the  jiUl  when  Donahue 
>wax  released  by  Warden  Watson,  and,  after  that 
formality  had  been  gone  thronch  with,  served  an 
jrder  of  arrest  upon  him.  Donahue  put  on  his  coat, 
shook  hands  witti  the  jail  ofQcers  and  such  other  ac- 
quaintances as  he  had  made  during  his  month's  im- 
prisonment, seized  his  valise  and  a  leather  contriv- 
SDC*  for  holdlmi  papers  which  he  has  been  treasnr- 
tog  since  the  day  of  bis  arrest,  and  marched  out.  It 
was  generaliv  remarked  that  he  looked  a  thousand 
times  bettor  "leaving  the  jail  tlum  be  did  when  enter- 
'og  it,  sympathizing  friends  having  supplied  Mm 
meanwMie  with  clothes  and  money.  Sheriff 
Sherwood  proceeded  to  £arle*s  Hotel,  where 
the  qnestian  of  roate  to  Bath,  the  county  seat  of 
Staaben  County.  22  miloa  from  Homellsville,  wai 
diaenssed.  Donahue  positively  refused  to  accompany 
^he  Sheriff  over  anyroad  running  through  Jfew- 
Jersey  or  Pennsylvania,  as  he  did  not  desire  to  take 
the  chance  of  being  arrested  and  put  to  further 
mmble  In  either  of  those  States.  It  was  finally 
i^reed  to  take  the  steam-boat  Drew  to  Albany,  and 
go  ^enee  by  the  Albany  and  Susquehanna  Railroad 
u}  Bath.  By  this  route  Donahue  does  not  leave  the 
State.  The  Sheriff  and  Ms  prisoner  embarked  at 
5:30  o'clock,  and  left  the  City  at  ■  6  without  any  far- 
ther incident.

Donahue  i^en  he  was  bremgbt  up  for  trial  at  Hor-

THE  sixKixa  ruyD  coMuissioy. 

The  Sinking  PymL^mmisdion  met  yesterday 
In  the  City  Hall.  Tbere"wePe^resaatContryner 
Kelly,  Becordor  Hackett.  Acting  Mayor  Purroy,  and 
City  Chamberlain  Tappen.  A  communication  was  re* 
ceived  from  the  attorneys  of  Mr.  A.  E.  Beach  stating 
that  the  Commissioners,  in  the  case  of  their  client 
against  the  Mayor,  &c.,  had  filed  their  report,  divid- 
ing up  the  land  involved  (some  submerged  lots  on 
Ward's,  Island)  between  the  high  and  low  water 
mark  and  outside  the  low  water  mark,  and  offering 
tne  City  the  privilege  of  purchasing  the  land  awarded 
to  Mr.  Beach  before  it  was  offered  for  sale  to  pri- 
vate individuals.  The  communication  was  placed 
on  file  to  enable  the  Controller  to  investigate  the 
matter  and  report  upon  it  at  the  next  meeting 
of  the  commission.  A  communication  was  received 
from  Corporation  Counsel  Whitney  in  relation  to  the 
dispossessing  of  th«  lessee  of  Barren  Island,  traus- 
raitted  In  reply  to  a  communication  from  the  Com- 
missioners forwarded"^  him  on  the  19th  nit.  The 
Corporation  Coausejhstates  that  after  the  receipt  of 
the  document  from  the  Commissioners  he  at  once 
instituted  dispossesftion  proceeding  against  the  les- 
sees, Messrs.  George  F.  Swift  and  Andrew  J.  White, 
in  Kings  County,  the'hearin;;  upon  them  being  fixed 
for  Tuesday  before  a  Justice  of  the  town  of  Plat 
Lands.  Subsequently,  however, '  he^Msfa^  an  ar- 
ranjement  with  the  lessees,  which  would  render  it 
un^ffecessary  to  continue  the  dwpossesaiuK  proceed- 
ings further.  It  appears,  he  satd,  that  the  lessees 
were  never  able  to  obtain  actual  possession 
of  that  part  of  the  land  hetonging 
to  the  City  since  the  lease  was  made 
to  them,  and  had  conseqnently  been  un^willing  to  and 
had  faUed  to  pay  tlie  installments  of  rent  as  they 
became  due.  The  land.  It  seems,  is  occupied  by  a 
band  of  squatters,  who  were  there  at  the  time  the 
lease  was  made,  and  have  remained  there  ever  since, 
refusing  to  remove.  By  the  terms  of  the  sale  the 
lessees  paid  $80  on  the  making  of  the  lease,  to  be 
credited  upon  the  first  installyjent  of  rent.  The  les- 
sees never  having  had  possession,  and  a**  the  reuioval 
of  the  squatters  would  put  the  City  to  considerable 
trouble,  the  Corporation  Counsel  declares  It  to  be 
hardly  eqnltaMe  to  enforce  dispossessing  proceedings 
against  the  leasees  while  the  souatters  still  re- 
main in  possession.  One  of  the  lessees  suggested 
to  him  in  this  connection  that  the  matter  might  be 
settled  by  the  City  canceling  the  lease  and  waiving 
all  claims  for  accrued  rent,  the  lessees  themselves 
waiving  claim  to  the  $S0  paid  by  them.  This  offer 
was  accepted  by  the  Controller  by  the  Corporation 
Cotmsel's  advice,  and  the  lease  canceled.  Bv  this 
procee^ng  the  City,  the  Corporation  Counsel  says, 
regaias;mfl  title  to  the  property.  After  the  transac- 
tion of  some  further  minor  business  the  commission 
adjourned.  _ 

OXE  WIFH  TOO  MANY. 
Charles  Fuchs,  alias  Charles  Parketf  was  ar- 
rested yesterday  by  Detei^lve  Ennis  on  a  charge  of 
stealing  a  watch  from  Mr.  John  Schultz.  of  No.  143 
Montro&e-avenue,  Brooklyn  ;  and  now.  In  addition 
to  the  charge  of  larceny,  the  prisoner  wHl,  when  Ma 
trial  comes  off,  be  called  npon  to  answer  the  more 
serious  accusation  of  bigamy.  It  seems  that  Fnchs 
married  his  first  wife,  whose  maiden  name  was 
Mary  Ann  Keman,  in  October,  1873,  and  lived  with 
herunti^afew  months  ago,  when  he  went  away, 
saying  that  he  was  goine  West  to  seek  employment. 
He  went  asfar  as  New-Yoi;)E,  where  he  sought  and 
obtained  employment  as  a  conductor  on  the  Grand- 
Street  Cross-town  Cars,  under  the  name  of  John 
Parker.  He  disguised  hla  appearance  as  much  as 
possible,  and  succeeded  in  escaoing  recognition,  and 
also  in  marrying  Miss  Angeline  Schultz,  the  daughter 
of  the  man  for  the  theft  of  whose  watch  he  was  ar- 
rested, lina  marriage  took  place  on  the  11th  Inst., 
the  ceremony  being  performed  by  Rev.  Father 
John  Hauptman,  of  tlie  Catholic  Church  of 
the  Annunciation.  After  remaining  in  the  house  of 
his  new  father-in-law  tmtil  the  evening  of  the  12th, 
he  announced  that  his  leave  of  absence  had  expired, 
and  went  away.  Shortly  afterward  Mr.  Schultz 
missed  his  watch,  and  mistrostinff  that  Ms  new  son- 
in-law  had  borrowed  it,  went  in  search  of  him.  While 
waiting  near  the  ferry  for  Ms  appearance  he  chana»d 
to  speak  of  iSichs,  alias  Parker,  as  his  son-in-law, 
when  he  was  informed  that  he  had  a  wife  and  chil- 
dren living.  The  issue  of  the  warrant  and  subse- 
quent arrest  of  the  bigamist  followed.  Both  vrives 
were  before  Justice  Guok.  In  Brooklyn,  yesterday, 
and  assisted  in  preparing  the  necessary  papers  for  tue 
jprosecntion  of  the  scoundrel  who  has  betrayed  Chem.

DYNAMITE  IN  TSE  PABKS. 


THE  PIEB  COMKISSIONEKS  APPLY  FOB  PBR- 
MISSIOK  TO  BBSOT  A  MAGAZINE  IN  OKN- 
TRAL  PAEK  OR  TOMPKINS-SQirAEK— THK 
APPLICATION  UKAllrfoDSLY  BfiFUSED. 

On  the  4th  inst.  the  Board  of  Fire  Commis- 
sioners addressed  a  communication  to  the  ConmiiB- 
sioners  of  Parks  requesting  them  to  grant  a  hearing 
to  Assistant  Chief  of  the  Department  Shay  and  Mr. 
Julius  H.  Striedinger.  Instructor  of  the  Corps  -of 
Sappers  and  Minos,  on  the  subject  of  granting  per* 
mission  to  the  Fire  Department  to  construct  maga- 
zines for  dynamite  and  other  explosives  in  one  of 
the  public  parks.  The  commtmication  explained 
that  the  application  was  rendered  necessary  by  the 
absence  of  gn  appropriation  for  the  purchase  of  a 
suitable  site  for  the  proi>oaed  store-house,  and  that 
no  locations  seemed,  under  the  circumstances,  avalla- 
Me  except  such  as  the  Commissioners  of  Parks 
might  feel  disposed  to  assign  for  the  purpose.  The 
required  preliminary  hearing  was  granted,  and  on 
Wednesday,  the  15th  inst.,  at  the  regular  meeting  of 
the  Commtssloaers,  Mes.<trs.  Striedinger  and  Shar 
exnlalned  the  plans  of  the  proposed  magazines,  and 
BUbtMtted  Information  concerning  the  nature  of  the 
explosives  Intended  to  be  stored  therein.  The 
location  which  the  gentlemen  thought  would  be  most 
suitable  for  the  structure  was  either  the  green,  the 
middle  of  the  ball-ground,  or  the  north  meadow,  in 
Central  Park.  A  section  of  Tompkins -square  would 
have  also  snificed-  Jdr.  StriediAger  was  quite  certain 
that  the  public  need  feel  no  anxiety  regarding  the  es- 
tabli^iunent  of  these  exceedingly  dangerous  store- 
houses within  the  City,  providing  they  were  con- 
structed in  strict  accordance  with  the  plana  sub- 
mitted. The  proposition  was  to  bnlld  either  one  large 
store-house  ortwo  magazines,  the  latter  being  regarded 
as  superior.  Th-^y  were  to  contain  1-4  ammunition 
cars  filled  with  10,000  pounds  of  high  explosives,  an 
amount  needful  for  the  rapid  andthorough  demolition 
of  three  blocks  of  buildintcs  in  ease  ot  a  conflagration 
menacing  the  City.  Each  of  the  cars  was  tn  be  placed 
in  a  separate  bomb-proof,  open  in  the  front  and  rear, 
and  placed  a  sufficient  distance  apart  to  prevent  the 
transmission  of  detonation  by  concussion  in 
th  e  event  of  a  pre  mature  explosi  on.  The 
nu^arine  was  to  be  sturounded  by  an  earth 
waU  to  check  the  propagation  of  gas 
from  the  open  entrance.  It  was  the  opinion  of  Mr. 
Striedinger  that  in  case  of  an  accidental  explosion 
of  the  magazine,  the  explosive  effect  In  the  air  would 
be  considerably  reduced  and  would  be  distinguished 
by  the  absence  of  hurtful  shocks. 

AJfter  hearing  the  Statements  and  explanations  of 
the  Fire  Department  repretentativea,  the  Police  Com- 
missioners referred  the  matter  for-further  investiga- 
tion to  President  Martin,  who  submitted  the  follow- 
ing report  at  the  meeting  yesterday  : 
To  ihe  CommUaitmtTt  of  the  Departnatt  of  Pubtu:  Parts :

the  City  limits  which  meets  the  rBqidremcnts  except  the 
(Jreen.  the  Ball-Ground,  or  the  Korth  Meadow,  In 
Central  Park ;  that  this  led  them  to  ask  such 
a  location  as  the  centra  of  Tompklns-squaro 
or  the  location  mentioned  In  the  Central  Park.  To  con-

THE  CVSTO^aOUSE  WEIGHERS. 
The  weighers  at  tho  Custom-house  are  any- 
thing bat  pleased  with  the  third  report  of  the  Cos* 
tom-house  Commission.  The  prospect  of  their  longer 
retention  in  office  at  their  present  salaries  of  $2,500 
per  annum  is  considered  extremely  sUm,  and  many 
of  them  are  casting  about  for  what  to  do  when  the 
axe  falls.  "They  call  us  dishonest,"  said  one  of 
them  yesterday  to  a  Times  reporter ;  "  but  Pd  like 
to  know  what  they  have  proved  agalust  tu."  "There 
is  six  times  as  mu^  cheating  and  swindling  In  the 
bonks  and  insurance  companies  as  there  is  tn  the 
Custom-house,"  said  another  employe ;  "  and  yet  the 
papers  are  constantly  howling  about  '  Custom- 
house dishonesty,'  until  the  public  really  begin 
to  tViiTib  us  a  parcel  of  black-mallors  and  ex- 
tortioners. Take  the  Custom-house  right  through  and 
you  will  find  less  dishonesty  and  less  neiyligence  than 
in  three-fourths  of  the  mercantile  houses  in  New- 
York."  This  opinion  was  generally  re-echoed  by 
those  who  were  willing  to  speak  on  this  matter, 
and  the  feeling  seemed  to  prevail  that  the  com- 
mission had  treated  "the  boys''  with  unnecessary 
severity.  The  men  who  are  in  oauKer  of  being  turned 
out  prophesy  all  sorts  of  disasters  to  the  party  iu 
their  individual  "  dee><tricks"  incase  "the  pelicy  of 
dischai-ge"  is  continued.  There  were  rumors  yester- 
day of  a  secret  meeting  of  the  weighers  to  take  some 
sort  of  action  in  self-defense,  but  it  was  generally 
discredited.  Must  of  them,  when  asked,  said  tliat 
they  intended  to  do  nothing  until  some  definite  step 
had  been  taken  toward  their  removal. 


KIXGS  COVNTY  BOARD  OF  SUPERVISORS. 
A  resolution  was  passed  by  the  Kings  County 
Board  of  Supervisors,  at  their  meeting  yesterday, 
directing  the  proper  officers  of  the  board  to  complete 
the  purchase  of  the  property  adjoining  the  City 
Hospital  for  a  site  for  a  new  jail,  at  a  cost  of  $25,000. 
A  communication  was  received  from  District  Attoi^ 
ney  Britton,  stating  that  the  resolution  passed  by 
the  board  reducing  salaries  of  the  county  employes 
was  not  legal,  for  the  reason  that  it  provided  that 
the  reduction  should  take  place  Aug.  1.  The  resolu- 
tion was  amended,  changing  the  tone  to  the*  let  of 
September.  The  request  of  tho  employes  of  the 
District  Attorney's  office  that  their  salaries  be  fixed 
at  $1,400  per  annum  was  complied  with,  and  the 
bo^  adjourned.  '  _

TIONS MADE     AGAINST     HIS     BBOTHEB^

'        INQ. 

On  the  15th  inst  David  Macdonald,  an  im- 
porter, of  St.  Ijoms,  w%»  arrested  by  Detectives  Field 
and  O'Connor,  of  the  District  Attorney's  officer,  on 
his  arrival  from  Europe  in  tho  steam-ship  Ethiopia. 
Macdonald  bad  been  indicted  by  the  Grand  Jury  for 
circulatinK  scandalous  libels  reflecting  on  the  chaz^ 
acter  and  calculated  to  injure  the  business,  of  his 
brother,  Robert  Macdonald,  a  well-known  importer 
of  lace  goods  at  Nos.  64  and  66  Uspenard-street,  in 
this  City.  In  addition  to  this,  coimsel  for  the  in- 
jured merchant  instituted  dvU  proceedings,  and  ob- 
tained from  Judge  Donohue  an  order  of  arrest 
for  David,  ball  being  fixed  at  910,000.  It 
appears  that  David  had  -  grievously  libeled 
his  brother  about  10  years  ago,  but  on  malnnga 
full  retraction  of  his  charges,  the  criminal  proceed- 
ings against  him  were  discontinued.  He  ceased  his 
attacks  for  some  years,  but  in  1876.  after  failing,  as 
alleged,  to  extort  money  from  his  brother,  repub- 
lished the  libel  and  dromated  some  5,000  copies  of 
it  through  the  mails.  For  the  latter  offense  the  ac- 
cused was  held  in  the  Court  of  General  Sessions  iu 
$1,600  bail  on  the  indictment  found  anainstbim. 
After  bah  had  been  given  Macdonald  was  immediate- 
Iv  rearrested  by  Major  Quincy.  Order  of  Arrest

ing full  retraction  of  the  charges  contained  in  the

utterly  snd  wholly  untrue.  Having  by  nature  an  impul-

After  receiving  the  above  document,  counsel  ad- 
vised his  elient,  Robert  Mxicdonald,  to  diEcontinue 
the  dvU  Buit.  Thi*  course  the  plaintiff  agreed  to, 
and,  after  a  copy  of  the  retraction  had  been  tiled,  an 
order  of  discontinuance  was  entered.  David  Mac- 
donald WHS  thereupon  released  from  Ludlow-Street 
Jail.  The  criminal  indictment,  however,  ia  still 
pending  against  him,  and  will  come  before  the  pre- 
sidine  Judge  of  the  Court  of  General  Sessions  on  the 
first  Monday  of  September,  for  which  day  it  has  been 
set  down.  _ 

WHAT   CONSTITUTES    A    MJRRIAGE. 

THE  ODD  6TOET  TOLD  IN  THE  HaSSLACHEB 
DIVOECK  CASE— AK  ALLEGED  MARRIAGE 
DENIED — JUDGE  VAN  BRUNT'S  DECISION. 
The  fidngiilar  suit  brought  bj  Mary  E.  Hass- 
lacher  against  Louis  C.  Uasslacher  was  before  Judge 
Van  Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court.  Chambers,  yesterday, 
on  a  motion  by  the  plaintiff  for  alimony.  The  plain- 
tiff In  her  complaint  says  she  was  married  to  the  de- 
fendant in  October,  1373,  and  has  borne  him  two 
children.  In  December  last  she  says  he  abaudoned 
her.  While  they  were  living  together  she  says  he 
treate<l  her  with  great  cruelty.  She  says  she  always 
conducted  herself  toward  him  as  a  faithful  and  obe- 
dient wife  should,  but  that  he  beat  her  and  rendered 
It  luuafe  for  her  to  live  with  him.  She  seeks  a  Urn* 
tted  divorce.  In  her  affidavit,  which  is  appended  to 
the  complaint,  she  says  he  is  in  receipt  of  $2,000  per 
year  salary,  but  that  he  has  refused  to  contribute  to- 
ward her  support  since  last  December.  She  asked 
the  court  to  require  him  to  pay  a  reasonable  sum  for 
her  support  dtuiog  the  pendency  of  the  action.  In 
response,  the  dofendent  says  that  he  met  the  plaintiff 
iu  August,  1873,  on  a  steam-ship  coming  from  Liver- 
pool to  this  City.  She  introduced  herself  to  him,  he 
says,  under  the  name  of  Miss  Oumey.  She  said  she 
was  an  opera  singer,  and  was  coming  to  this  City  to 

fill  an  engagement  with  Max  Strakosch.  On  the  ar- 
rival of  the  vessel  she  was  met  on  the  wharf  by  a  gen- 
tleman whom  she  Introduced  to  the  defendant 
as  her  uncle.  The  defendent  says  he  went 
to  board  at  a  place  in  Ninth-street,  and  to  his  sur- 
prise met  the  plaintiff  there.  One  tiunday  afternoon 
lie  wont  to  her  n>om,  where  he  found  her  with  an- 
other lady.  Thev  drank  a  bottle  of  wine,  and  the 
other  lady  left.  'I'he  plaintiff  then  bet'arae  commu- 
nicative. She  ahowea  him  a  picture  of  a  boy  4  or 
r>  Years  of  age.  and  said  It  was  her  child.  TTpon  the 
defendant's  hiqnirirur  as  to  why  she  had  said  on  board 
the  ship  thst  she  was  a  "  Miss,"  she  replied  that  she 
was  thu  wife  of  Rev.  Mr.  Dale,  of  London,  and  that 
she  had  left  Mm  to  come  to  America  to  fill  an  engage- 
ment as  an  opera  jtinger.  She  said  she  had  left  her 
child  with  a  married  sister  In  Europe,  but  had  been 
buformed  two  weeks  afterward  that  It  was  dead. 
After  this  conversation  the  aconaintanne  between  the 

Slaintiff  and  defendant  ripened  into  intimacy,  and  In 
lovember,  1373,  the  defendant  fiignged  rooms 
in  St.  Mark'K-plare,  where  they  lived  together, 
she  assnming  his  name  bo  tbat  thev  could 
continue  thefr  relationship  without  exciting  sus- 
picion. They  afterward  lived  together  in  Seventy- 
Kupond-street.  She  urged  him  to  go  to  housekeep- 
ing, so  tbat  she  could  be  conBned  without  it  be- 
coming known.  \VhUo  they  were  thus  living  to- 
gether the  gentleman  she  bad  introduced  as  her  uncle 
called  frequently  and  escorted  her  out  at  dlffereut 
times.  The  defendant  says  that,  before  leaving  the 
house  In  Ninth-street,  he  eave  the  plaintiff  $36  to 
pay  np  her  arrears  of  board  and  to  get  her  wearing 
apparel,  which  was  held  by  her  landlady  as  security 
for  board.  Previous  to  tne  plaintiff's  intimacy  with 
the  defendant  she  had  been  engaged  to  sing  at  a  salary 
of  $25  per  week*  She  said  she  had  paid  a  portion  of 
bar  salary  to  the  man  she  called  her  uncle,  and 
that  It  was  owing  to  this  and  the  termination 
of  her  engagement  that  she  wos  without 
means.  In  June,  1B74.  the  defendant  says  he 
took  a  house  in  Brooklyn,  where  they  went  to 
Uve  and  where  a  child  was  bom  to  hi'r  eight  months 
after  the  beginning  of  hU  acquaintance.  The  de- 
fendant says  he  believes  he  Is  not  the  father  of  the 
child,  and  that  he  once  told  the  plaintiff  that  her  no- 
colled  uncle  was  Its  father,  and  she  did  not  deny  it. 
In  November.  1875.  she  left  Brooklyn,  taking  the 
child  with  her,  and  on  Dec.  15, 1875,  she  absnuoued 
the  defendant  and  sailed  for  Europe,  under  the  name 
of  Mrs.  Oumey,  with  money  furnished  by  the  de- 
fendant. Before  leaving  she  delivered  to  the  de- 
fendant a  release  in  full  of  all  claims  against  him.  on 
condition  that  lie  pay  lior  debts,  which  amounted  to 
^t'JOO.  He  paid  tlie  debts.  While  she  was  in  Europe 
he  was  informed  that  she  had  given  birth  to  a  female 
child.  She  returned  to  this  City  on  March  3  last, 
and  on  the  7th  of  that  month  she  had  the  de- 
fendant arrested  on  the  charge  of  abandonment.  He 
was  taken  before  Police  Jtistice  Flanunei^  and  was 
discharged. 

At  the  hearing  before  the  magistrate  she  said  she 
bad  never  been  married  to  the  defendant,  but  bud 
merely  been  living  with  him  and  liad  srsumed  his 
name.  She  also  stated  that  there  ha<l  heen  no  agree- 
ment between  them  to  consider  themKelvt.*?  man  and 
wife,  and  that  she  never  had  been  married  to  any- 
body. The  defendant  says  the  plaintiff  went  under 
several  names,  such  as  Maria  Mallinard,  Bessie 
Oumey,  and  Mary  Oumey.  He  says  he  never 
treated  her  cnielly  or  abandoned  her,  but  that  she 
abandoned  bim.  He  says  that,  in  his  opinion,  he 
and  she  hod  the  right  to  consult  their  owu  inclina- 
tions and  wishes  as  to  whether  they  should  or  should 
not  live  together.  She  was,  he  says,  of  an  ungov- 
ernable temper  and  po&siot^  and  **isof  a  grasping 
and  improvident  disposition.  No  amount  of  money 
he  cDoid  give  her  was,  he  says,  adequate  for  her  ap- 
parent wants.  He  went  to  Europe  for  a  short  time, 
and  on  his  return  here  he  found  awaiting  him  bills 
ttom  tradesmen  for  provisions  she  had  used  durine 
his  absence,  drosse.s  rent,  fuel,  &c.,  although 
she  had  received  from  him  tliree-quarters  of 
his  salary  during  tho  period.  Ho  says  she 
resorted  to  all  sorts  of  devices  to  raise  money,  and 
to  this  end  was  in  the  habit  of  pawning  her  clothes 
and  his.  He  sayi  he  is  now  earning  only  $1,800  per 
year,  and  that  he  allowed  money  for  the  support  of 
the  plaintiff's  second  child. 

In  court  yesterday  tho  plaintiff's  counsel  insisted 
that  the  parties  were  really  man  and  wife.  Judge 
Van  Brunt,  however,  held  otherwise,  saying  tlmt  a 
man  might  acknowledge  a  wom.in  as  his  wife  500 
times,  and  live  .with  her  for  5O0  years — if  it  were 
possible — but  that  would  not  make  the  woman  his 
wife.  No  court  in  this  State  had  ever  decided  that 
it  would.  It  takes  mure  th^i  that  to  make  a  mar- 
riage. The  Judge  added:  "It  is  hard  on  tlils 
woman,  but  she  should  not  have  entered  into  this 
relationship,  or  rather  want  of  relationship."  The 
motion  for  alimouy  is  therefore  denied. 

TTTO  I>E6PERAD0E8.  PUXISHED. 
On  Tuesday  night  Officer  Leroy  Stevens,  of 
the  Twentieth  Precinct,  attempted  to  disperse  a 
noisy  crowd  congregated  on  what  is  known  as  "Mur- 
derers' Block,"  in  TSventy-nlnth-street,  lietween 
Tenth  and  Eleventh  avenues,  when  he  was  attacked 
by  a  fellow  called  "Woodsle"  who  broke  a  l>ottle 
ou  his  head.    The  oflQcer  struck  his  assailant  ■  with 

his  club,  and  the  latter  fled,  and  mounting  a  truck, 
endeavored  to  pull  out  a  rung  in  order  to  renew  his 
nsaauit  in  a  more  determined  manner.  Stevens  fol- 
lowed him  and  used  his  club  with  effect.  "While  the 
officer  was  struggling  with  "Woodsie,"  John 
McAndrews,  aged  21,  a  giant  in  stature, 
and  one  of  the  worst  men  in  the  ward, 
struck  him  with  a  brick  upon  the  head. 
The  ofBcer's  stiff  hat  was  broken  by  the  blow,  and

tUm  on  his  personal  estate  and  ot^tained  them  yester- 
day, but  on  attempting  to  take  poeaesaion  of  the 
property  found  that  nearly  all  of  it  had  been  mort- 
gaged by  her  late  husbsjud. 

Yesterday,  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  before 
Justdxie  Duffy,  Margaret  Johnson,  of  Ko.  63  Kei^ 
Chambers-street,  accused  Mary  Anne  Walsh,  of  the 
same  numl>er.  with  stealing  from  her  tnmk  while 
she  was  out  at  work  a  silver  watch  and  chain  valued 
at  f^Q.  The  prisoner  was  committed  for  trial  in  the 
Court  of  General  Sessions  in  default  of  9500  bail. 

Peter  B.  Cartier,  of  No.  8  Union-aquaiw, 
whoiefpstsatwaltoing  are  doubtless  familiar  to  the 
public,  was  arraigned  at  the  nfty-seve'nth-Street 
Police  Court  yesterday  on  a  charge  of  having  pushed 
Thomas  Flab,  of  No.  1,524  Broadway,  down  two 
flights  of  stairs  in  the  Central  Park  Garden  on  Tues- 
day night  last.  Cartier  denied  the  charge,  and  was 
held  for  examination. 

Janaes  McDonald,  aged  19,  of  Seventeenth- 
street,  between  Ninth  and  Tenth  avenues,  and  a 
companion  named  Michael  Maher,  on  Tuesday  night 
broke  Into  the  unoccupied  house  No.  307  West 
Twelfth-«trec't  and  stole  $3  worth  of  lead  pipe. 
McDonald  was  arrested  and  taken  to  Jefferson  Mar- 
ket Police  Court  vesterday  morning,  and  Justice

The  old  divorce  suit  brought  by  Sophia  M. 
Funk  against  Augustus  Funk  was  before  Judge  Van 
Brunt,  in  Supreme  Court,  Chambers,  yesterday,  on  a 
motion  by  the  plaintiff  to  nave  the  defendant  pun- 
ished for  contempt  of  court  for  not  paying  alimony, 
of  which  $3,380  is  now  due.  The  action  was  be- 
gun in  1873,  and  is  for  a  limited  divorce.  In  oppo- 
sition to  the  application  Mr.  fSiuk  averred  that  he 
has  been  adjudged  a  bankrupt,  and  has  not  the 
money  wherewith  to  pay  the  arrears  of  aUmony. 
Judge  Van  Brunt  reserved  his  decision^ 

The  case  of  Charles  B.  Orvis,  who  is  accused 
by  William  Clarke,  of  West  Nrnetee  nth-street,  of 
swindling  him,  came  up  for  examination  yesterday 
before  Justice  Daffy,  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court. 
Clarke,  who  is  a  Scotchman,  ^pUed  to  Orvis  for  em- 
ployment, and  they  finally  came  to  the  conclusion 
that  they  would  go  into  partnei'ship.  The  partner- 
ship seems  to  hare  been  all  one-sided,  however,  as 
Clarke  claims  that  Orvis  swindled  him  out  of  large 
6ums  of  money,  a  diamond  pin.  stud,  and  other  arti- 
cles. The  complainant  not  appearing  on  time,  the 
prisoner  waa  dlschsrced. 

On  the  night  of  the  3d  inst.  Michael  Wilson, 
alias  "  Big  Mike,"  a  blacksmith,  aged  37,  entered  the 
room  of  Herman  Westlage,  on  the  second  floor  of 
No.  1G5  Perry-Ktreet,  end  stole  therefrom  a  gold 
watch  and  chain  worth  $120.  Westlage  awoke, 
and  made  an  attempt  to  catch  the  thief,  who,  while 
trying  to  escape,  fell  from  the  window  to  the  ground 
and  was  so  severely  injured  that  he  had  to  be  taken 
to  Bellevue  HospitaL  He  was  taken  before  Justice 
Wandell,  in  the  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court,  yester- 
day, and.  waiving  examination,  was  committed  for 
trial  iu  default  of  $2,000  bail. 

Annie  Ca-sh,  aged  27,  of  No.  110  Charlton- 
street  stabbed  Ellen  Murphy,  of  the  same  house,  sev- 
eral times  with  a  pcn-knlfe  yesterday  morning. 
Kllcn's  injuries  are  of  a  painful  character.  Annie 
was  arrested  and  taken  before  Justice  Wandell,  in 
Jefferson  Alarket  Police  Court,  and  was  by  him  com- 
mitted for  trial  in  default  of  $1,500  baU.  Before 
the  stabbing  affray  both  women  appeared  in  the 
court-room  aud  preferred  chaises  of  indecent  conduct 
against  one  another,  but  the  Judge  refused  to  enter- 
tain them.  They  went  Hway  dNsatisfied,  and  quar- 
reled with  tho  result  stated  above. 

AW&ut  1:30  o'clock  yesterday  morning  OfUcer 
John  Lnydon,  of  Che  Fourteenth  Prednct,  had  bis  at- 
tention attracted  to  the  actions  of  a  man  who  was 
leisurely  promenading  np  and  down  Crosby-Btreet, 
between  Spring  and  Broome.  He  continued  loitering 
ubont  the  block  until  the  officer's  euspicioua  were 
aroused,  and  the  Utter  without  any  further  delay  ar- 
rested him.  When  taken  to  the  station-house  he 
gave  his  name  as  James  Fenin,  and  when  searched 
some  burglars'  tools  known  as  "pick-locks'*  were 
found  in  his  possession.  Yesterday,  at  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  before  Justice  Duffy,  not  being  able  to 
give  a  satisfactory  explanation,  the  prisoner  was 
committed  for  trial  in  default  of  $500  balL

uiitted  thtrm  both  for  trial  m  default  of  $1,000  ball

The  notorious  John  Madden,  of  Xo.  232 
Mulberry-stxeet,  who  on  two  or  three  oecasiona  es- 
caped from  the  Inland  by  swimming,  was  arraigned 
yebt<>rdny  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  before  Justl-  o

Maria,  bhe  swore  that,  not  being  satii^fied  with  beat- 
ing and  striking  her  on  the  head,  be  kicked  her  In 
the  stomach,  hurting  her  severely.  Tho  prisoner's 
father,  on  being  calW  to  the  stand,  gave  John  a  very 
bad  character.  He  said  that  he  was  "the  biggest 
ruffian  in  the  country,"  was  all  the  time  raising  dis- 
turbance in  the  house,  and  that  he  had  not  worked 
inside  of  three  years.  The  comrt  held  John  in  $700 
bail  to  keep  the  peace  for  one  year,  and  will  also 
allow  him  to  spend  the  next  six  months  on  the  Islaud.

avenue,  who  waa  Colonel  of  the  Fifty-second  Regi- 
ment  New- York  State  Voluntt^rs  during  the  war, 
has  been  held  by  United  States  Commissioner  Deu*-*!

allied  fraudulent  bankrupt  clothier,  of  Wfaite-stro.'t, 
that  he  owned  real  estate  duly  recorded  as  his. 
which.  It  is  alleged,  could  not  be*  found  recorded  in 
his  name.  A  partial  examination  showed  tbat  a  part 
of  the  property  was  duly  recorded,  aud  he  exhibited 
a  deed  for  the  balance.  leaving  it.  apparently,  only  a 
technical  offense  ou  his  part  in  swearing  that  it  waa 
all  recorded.  The  exammation  is  to  be  continued  on 
tiatuzday,  aud  he  claims  that  he  can  clearly  estabU  sh 
his  innocence.

saying  that  he  had  b-en  robbed  of  it,  together  with 
a  large  Quantity  of  his  owu  stock.  This  robbery  was 
reported  to  the  Police,  but  It  is  alleged  that  they 
were  unable  to  discover  any  indications  of  a  forcible 
entrance  h8\ing  been  made  into  his  store.  Cards  which 
had  held  the  iowclry  were  found  scattered  about  the

A  SIXGJTLAR  BLAXDER  StlT. 
Louisa  Felten  has  begun  a  suit  in  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas  against  Frederick  Felten.  The 
plaintiff  is  a  married  woman,  and  the  defendant  ia 
her  brother-in-law.  She  ehivges  that  he  xoade  slan- 
deroua  remarks  concemim;  her,  accusing  her  of  un- 
chastity.  She  dainu  $20,000  damages.  Hw  conn- 
self  Messrs.  Riehard  Busteed  &  Son,  applied  to  Judge 
RoUnsoa  for  an  order  <^  arreet  against  ^la  defend- 
ant. Mrs.  Felten  made  an  affidavit  in  support  of  the 
motion.  In  it  she  says  she  is  50  years  of  age,  and  is 
the  mother  of  eight  children.  She  married  her  pres- 
ent husband,  John  Charles  Felten.  about  10, yean 
ago.  He  is  her  second  husband.  She  says  that  there 
haa  been  some  ill  feeling  between  her  husband  and 
his  brother  in  consequence  of  the  former's  greater 
success  In  business.  About  five  years  s^o  she  says 
that  the  defendant  was  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  and  that 
she  gave  him  some  money  to  come  to  this  City, 
where  she  set  him"  p  in  a  little  business.  After  his 
arrival  here  she  says  the  defendant  began  to  poison 
her  mind  In  regard  to  her  husband,  who,  he  said. 
wa»  unfaithful  to  her.  ^he  says  she  knows  of  no 
motive  to  influence  him  toward  such  conduct  except 
a  jealousy  of  her  pecuniary  condition.  Finding  that 
his  remarks  about  her  hu^and  accomplished  noth- 
ing, she  says  he  then  went  and  betnn  to  poison 
her  husband's  mind  in  regard  to  her,  charging 
her  with  unfuthfulness,  and  as  having  been  guilty 
of  acts  of  impropriety  with  him.  Up  to  that  time 
she  says  she  had  been  living  happily  with  her  hus- 
band. The  defendant,  however,  she  says,  ao  worked 
upon  the  latter's  mind  that  he  began  to  abu^e  aud 
assault  her,  and  once  fired  a  pistol  at  her  with  the 
intention  of  murdering  her.  She  saye  the  chaiges 
made  by  tho  defendant  against  her  are  false  and  ma- 
lldous.  Judge  Robinson  denied  the  motion  for  an 
order  of  arrest,  in  accordance  with  a  precedent  in  the

street,  against  her  husband  Thomas,  for  abandon- 
ment, came  np  for  examination  yesterday,  before

husband  was  enjoying  roast  turkey  and  plum- 
pudding  for  dinner  she  had  to  be  content  on  "sweet 
mackerel."  Justice  Duffy  asked  Carey  why  he  didn't 
live  with  his  wife,  and  he  replied  that  it  was  im- 
possible to  live  with  her  on  account  of  her  bad  and 
violent  temper,  and  that  iu  every  place  he  worked 
she  always  followed  him  and  caused  a  dlstarbance 
through  which  he  was  discharged.  He  added  that  he 
was  now  working  for  ^7  a  week  for  the  proprietors 
of  the  New- York  and  Coney  Island  Aquarinio.  aud 
out  of  his  earnings  he  was  obliged  to 
pay  $5  per  week  for  board.  and  that 
at  presentr  owing  to  his  small  salary,  he 
could  not  give  her  an^'thing  for  her  support.  MarT*.

faction." 8he  asked  the  court  to  lock  him  up.  but

fit wou'.d  that  be  to  you,  if  yOu  want  him  to  support 
Jou  :  you  can't  take  olood  out  of  a  turnip,  surely."

A  CAREER  WHICH  SHOULD  BE  STOPPED. 
Detective  Price,  of  the  Fotirth  Precinct, 
Brooklyn  Police,  yesterday  succeeded  in  arresting  a 
notorious  thief  and  swindler  named  MaryMcDer- 
mott,  alias  Johnson,  alias  Sef  ton,  alias  Peglier,  alias 
Webster,  alias  Gallagher.  Three  months  ago  the 
woman  stole  a  gold  watch  and  chain  from  her  cousla, 
Mrs.  Horgan,  of  No.  20  VanderbUt-aTenoe,  Brook- 
lyn, and  tho  detective  hai  been  hunting  for  her  ever 
since.  She  was  found  at  Xo.  212  East  Forty-fourth- 
street,  In  this  City,  aud  whea  arrested  had  nothing 
whatever  to  say  to  all  the  chafes  against  her, 
and  they  are  numerous,  it  having  been  as- 
certained by  the  detective  while  he  was  setfi^hing  for 
her  that  she  was  not  only  a  thief,  but  a.  most  d»pd- 
rate  and  successful  confidence  operator.  The  most 
flagrant  of  her  transaction^,  in  this  line  was  the 
Bwmdling  of  Rev.  Dr.  Stephen  H.  Tyng  out  ct  $2O0 
in  money  at  various  times  by  representing  to  him 
that  she  was  the  daughter  of  a  clergyman  of  the 
Church  of  England ;  that  l>oth  her  father  aud  mother 
were  dead,  aud  that  a  S|>endthrift  brother  had  wasted 
her  fortune  in  riotous  living,  leaving  her  penni- 
less. Being  ashamed  to  remain  in  England  she 
had  come  to  this  country,  where,  having  no  friends 
and  being  unable  to  obtain  eB»ployment.  ahe  had  suf- 
fered terribly.  After  Bucce«sfully  swindling  the 
reverend  gentleman,  she  went  to  Mrs.  Schute,  of 
Tomoklns-Bveune.  whoae  husband  was  so  nearly 
murdered  by  a  burglar  about  two  years  a^,  and  by 
representing  hersefi  to  be  a  poor  sewing-girl  out  of 
emplojTneut,  with  a  brother  at  home  dying  nf  con- 
sumption,  succeededin  obtaining  $5  in  money  from 
her.  and  promise  of  more.  In  her  poaeesaion  was 
found  the  following  list  of  persons  or  whom  aha  had 
obtained  irffts,  most  of  her  victims  being  ladles  re- 
sldlng_  In  Brooklyn  :  Mrs.  D..  i?20  :  Mrs.  B.,  $10 ; 
MrsTPolk-  $20;  Mrs.  Spencer.  $3  25  ;  Krs.  Stone, 
$1  03  ;  Mrs.  Bird,  $3  18  ;  Mrs.  Patterson.  $3  25  ; 
Mrs.  Scttdder,  $10 ;  Mrm.  Schute.  $5  ;  Mrs.  AVeb- 
ster.  $25  ;  Mrs.  Scot^,  $8  ;  Mrs.  Freeman,  $14  25. 
The  pHsoner  was  loebad  ap  ia  Bayaond-Street  JaU 
iu  default  of  bail.

•  T"or  meaningless  verbiage  and  pure  frothi- 
*ess  generally,  the  resolations  adopted  by 
.the  Pennsylvania  Democratic  Convention 
•tear  away  the  palm.  If  Democracy  is  to 
shovr  its  adaptability  to  the  changing  ne- 
cessities of  the  age  by  stuff  like  this,  a  new 
and  dreadful  significance  must  attach 
to  the  declaration  of  the  Chairman 
■at  Harrisburg  that  ' '  while  earth  lasts, 
[like  seed-time  and  harvest.  Democratic  Con- 
tentions shaU  not  cease."  The  President's 
Southern  policy  is,  of  course,  claimed  as  a 
*  Mndication  of  Democratic  doctrine,  but  it 
is  quite  a  new  and  refreshing  idea  to  hear 
that  civil  service  reform,  as  enforced  by 
the  Administration,  is  aisjy  a  tiilpute 
"to  Democracy.  The  resolutions  about 
labor,  capital,  i  corporate  management, 
•and  so  forth,  ought  to  have  been 
•drafted  by  a  Philadelphia  lawyer,  for 
|they  certainly  demand  the  intelligence  of 
one  of  these  proverbially  acute  persons  to 
Tinravel  their  meaning.  "The  seventh  reso- 
lution, in  particular,  is  a  very  remarkable 
production,  beginning  after  this  fashion: 
■  That  many  of  our  rich  men  have  hot  been 
content  with  equal  protection  and  equal 
fcenefits,  but  have  besought  (sic)  us  to 
makft  them  richer  by  act  of  Congress,  and 
by  attempting  to  gratify  their  desires  we 
have,  as  the  results  of  our  legislation,  ar- 
ra^.-ed  section  against  section,  interest 
»y.ainat  interest,.man  against  man,  in  fear- 
tiil  commotion,"  &c.  This  same  resolution 
(protests  against  "  subsidies,  land  grants, 
loans  of  the  public  credit,  and  appropria- 
Itions  of  the  people's  money  to  any 
corporation,"  and  only  stops  short  of  de- 
manding the  repeal  of  the  protective  tariff, 
which  it  condemns  by  implication.  That 
protest  is  about  the'  only  intelligible  and 
practical  portion  of  a  document  which, 
likf,  certain  fire-arms,  was  obviously  intend- 
ed to  make  the  greatest  possible  noise  and 
dj(>  the  least  x>ossible  execution. 


rhe  analysis  which  we  have  made  else- 
Iwhere  of  the  organization  of  the  so-called 
Anti-Gustom-house  Republicans  does  not 
give  a  very  flattering  idea  of  the  character  or 
influjence  of  that  body.  There  are  a  few 
respectable  names  in  the  list  of  office- 
bearers ;  among  the  men  who  are  really  di- 
recting the  movement  there  is  not  one  w^hich 
Bu/jgests  either  disinterested  motives  or 
prilitical  purity.  If,  as  these  gentlemen 
allege,  Mr.  EvABTSand  Mr.  SCHPRZ  request- 
ted  them  to  make  a  re-enrollment  of  all  the 
Eepublicans  in  the  City,  with  the  view  of 
bringing  a  better  class  of  men  to  the  front, 
then  these  two  members  of  the  Cabinet 
must  be  altogether  too  verdant  and 
simple-minded  to  have  anything  to  do 
witJi  New- York  politics.  "We  suspect  that 
Me-ssrs.  Stewart,  Haw,  Jr.,  Haniebre, 
and  their  fellow-patriots,  have  used  the 
names  of  Messrs.  Evabts  and  Schcrz  with 
K^  little  warrant  as  they  have  those  of  sun- 
dry respectable  persons  who  indignantly  re- 
pudiate all  coimection  with  them.  Good 
men  can  hardly  be  brought  "  to  the  front"  in 
City  polities  by  copying  their  names  out  of 
the.  Directory. 


TThe  season  is  now  so  far  advanced,  and 
the  meeting  of  Congress  In  extra  session  is 
so  near,  that  it  is  not  to  be  expected  that 
the  Administration  will  take  any  steps 
toward  appointing  a  provisional  commission 
to  attend  to  the  interests  of  Americaa  ex- 
hibitors at  the'' French  Exporation.  The 
(ailnre  to  do  aois  not  altogether  inexplioa- 
ple,  bnt  it  is  greatlji;  to  be  regretted. 
IDoal>tles8  the  President  is  disinolined 
to  take  any  step  which  may 
not  meet  V  the  approval  of  Congress 
cnleas  he  ia-distinotly  sustained  by  law,  and 
{Utere  is  zeaaon  for  supposinK  that  thare  will 
3m  sob*  opposition  to  the  appropriation  re- 
fcrirrt  fir  **"  "B""'^**'^    TbaoititwUoh 


would  glT«  tiso  to  snoh  opposition  is  a  nar- 
row and  onrea8<»ung  one.  It  is  too  lat^  to 
say  that  it  is  not  within  the  province 
of  the  Government  to  make  such  expend- 
itures ;  the  precedents  settle  that  objection. 
And  it  is  economy  at  the  spigot  to  object  to 
the  e^ense.  At  this  jonctore  an  invest- 
ment of  a  few  thousand  dollars  at  Paris 
would  be  returned  to  the  country  a  hundred- 
fold. Besides  which  there  is  an  absurd 
pettiness  in  higgling  about  this  matter  now, 
after  the  generous  manner  in  which  foreign 
nations  responded  to  our  invitation  a  year 
ago.  __«__^.^____ 

In  an  article  which  we  reproduce  in  another 
column,  the  Stoats  Zeitung  calls  attention  to 
the  flagrant  violation  of  law  of  which  Con- 
troller Kelly  and  the  Fire  Commissioners 
have  been  guilty  in  making  removals  with- 
out informing  the  officer  removed  of  the 
cause,  without  allowing  him  to  be  heard 
in  hi&  own  defense,  aud  without 
entering  on  the  records  of  the 
department  the  true  grounds  of  such  re- 
moval. The  Stoats  Zeitung  makes  the  ex- 
cellent suggestion  that  it  would  be  well  to 
obtain  Mr.  Kelly's  reasons  for  his  re  cent 
arbitiury  changes-^  Washington  Market 
and  elsewhere-  ay  applying,  under  section 
109  of  the  (^ty  charter,  for  a  judi- 
cial order  requiring  his  public  examination 
on  that  point.  -A.n  affidavit  signed  by  five 
tax-payers  is  all  that  is  necessary  to  bring 
thajjiatter  before  a  Justice  of  the  Sapreme 
Court,  and  on  a  proper  recital  of  the  facts 
it  is  hardly  possible  that  the  order 
could  Be  refused.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  some  of  our  associations  for 
the  furtherance  of  Municipal  reform 
will  take  the  hint.  It  was  at  the  instance  of 
certain  of  their  leading  members  that  the 
provision  was  inserted  in  the  charter 
which  Kelly  and  the  Fire  Commissioners 
have  so  impudently  disregarded,  and  it 
ought  to  be  specially  their  business  to  see 
that  it  doe^ot  become  a  dead  letter. 


The  bugles  have  sounded  a  truce,  &  nd  the 
garbage  war  is  at  an  end.  The  point  in  dis- 
pute between  the  authorities  of  New- York 
_aud  Kings  County  was  simple.  The  juris- 
diction of  the  County  of  Kings  extends 
ooeanivard,  above  the  Narrows,  to  the  ex- 
tent of  three  miles,  where  the  limit  of  local 
authority  ends.  Kichmond  County,  Staten 
Island,  projects  its  jurisdiction  south  of 
the  Narrows  to  an  equal  distance  out- 
ward. New- York  is  shut  up  to  a 
slender  right  of  way  between  these  two,  and 
garbage  thrown  overboard  becomes  a  nuis- 
ance on  the  waters  of  Kichmond,  Queens,  or 
Kings,  the  last  named  being  the  active  bel- 
ligerent in  the  series  of  naval  engagements 
now  brought  to  a  close  by  compromise. 
Garbage  thrown  on  the  flood-tide  has  led  to 
stench  and  pestilence  on  Rockaway  and 
Coney  Island  beaches.  Thrown  ou  the  ebb,  it  is 
supposed  to  land  somewhere  on  the  coast  of 
Portugal,  where  it  is  rendered  incapable  of 
harm,  bleached  as  it  ij.by  sea  and  sun. 
New-York  solemnly  agrees  that  garbage 
shall  only  be  sent  to  sea  at  ebb-tide.  Kings 
County  agrees  to  prosecute  or  overhaul  no 
fleet  that  puts  out  at  that  stage  of  water. 
Therefore,  the  regnhir  shipments  of  refuse 
will  be  resumed,  an<K  G.  W.  B.  will  vainly 
shiver  his  timbers  and  blast  his  tarry  top- 
lights.  \ 

.OUH  TRADE  HIT)f  ENGLAND. 
The  Board  of  Trade  returns  published  by 
the  British  Government  on  the  11th  inst. 
are  brought  up  to  the  first  of  this  month, 
and  include  tables  of  imports  into  and  ex- 
ports from  the  United  Kingdom  for  the  first 
seven  months  of  this  year,  compared  with 
those  of  a  corresponding  period  in  1876. 
The  figures  relating  to  the  export  trade  to 
the  United  States  are  exceedingly  interest- 
ing, and  exhibit  several  features  which  are 
not  without  instruction  at  this  juncture  of 
our  affairs.  We  have  compiled  from  the  re- 
turns referred  to  the  items  showing  the  ex- 
ports to  this  country  which  have  increased, 
which  we  have  placed  in  one  table,  and 
those  showing  the  exports  which  have 
dimioiahed,  which  we  have  placed  in  a  sec- 
-tSnd  table.  A  comparison  of  the  two  will 
be  found  both  suggestive  and  instructive.

The  most  considerable  advance  noticeable 
in  the  first  table  is  that  which  has  {aken 
place  in  the  manufactures  of  cotton  and 
those  of  linen,  in  salt,  in  tin  plates  and  im- 
wrought  tin,  in  the  manufactures  of  silk, 
and  in  unmanufactured  wool.  Of  cotton 
goods,  England  exported  during  the  first 
seven  months  of  this  year  2,199,484,600 
yards,  which  was  an  advance  of  6.8  per 
cent,  on  the  amount  exported  during  the 
fixgt  seven  months  of  last  year.  Of  this 
s^duhC^the  United  States  took  a  compara- 
trvely  unimportant  share,  namely,  42,259,- 
200  yards.  But  during  the  same  period  in 
1876  we  took  only  35,641,300  yards,  aud 
our  portion  this  year  shows  an  advance  of  1 8. 6 
per  cent,  on  last  year.  As  all  reports  agree 
that  our  own  mills  have  produced  as  largely 
and  as  cheaply,  on  the  whole,  as  last  year, 
this  adrance  must  be  set  down  to  an  iu- 
oreased  capacity  for  consumption  ;  and-  as 
ootton  goods  are  eoniBTntid  in  anraat  oart  br 


4lD«e  whose  maana  ars  limited  the  sign  Is 
au  •ncouragiag  one.  Of  sUk  goods,  the 
United  States  take  a  far  larger  proportion 
than  ui  jr^  ,  and  while  the  advance  on 
the  total  exports  has  been  24  per  cent.,  that 
in  the  exports  to  this  country  has  been  28.4 
per  cent.  It  may  fairly  be  in- 
ferred' from  these  two  items,  so 
far  as  they  go,  that  while  the  consuming 
capacity  of  onr  people  for  the  cheaper 
goods  has  improved  far  mpre  than  that  of 
the  other  customers  of  England — especially 
those  other  than  the  Oriental  nations — our 
capacity  for  the  consumption  of  more  lux- 
nrions  goods  has  been  fully  as  great,  and, 
comparatively,  a  little  greater,  than  that  of 
other  countries. 

In  linen  goods  the  ratio  of  advance  has 
been  about  the  same  for  the  total  exports, 
(9.3  per  cent,,)  an&  for  exports  to  this 
country,  (10.5  per  cent.) 

Turning  next  to  the  returns  of  unmanu- 
factured wool,  we  find  that  the  total  exports 
have  fallen  off  slightly,  while  the  ex- 
ports to  the  United  States  halve 
advanced  from  172,936  pounds  to  958,281 
pounds,  or  to  24.5  per  cent,  of  the  entire 
export.  As  this  wool  has  been  a  raw  ma- 
terial in  onr  manufactures,  and  as  it  is  used 
for  the  most  part  in  combination  with 
American  wool,  this  large  advance,  even  al- 
lowing for  exceptional  influences,  cannot 
be  regarded  as  otherwise  than  important. 
This  inference  is  strengthened  by  the  figures 
of  exports  of  manufactured  wool.  It  will 
be  found  that  while  the  exports  of  goods 
manufactured  from  wool  mixed  with  other 
materials  fell  off  on  the  sum  total  19  per 
cent.,  the  exports  to  this  country  fell  off 
36  per  cent.  And  while  the  total  ex- 
ports of  carpets  advanced  9  per  cent., 
the  exports  to  the  United  States 
fell  43.7  per  cent.  In  both  these  instances 
it  is  well  established  that  the  diminution  in 
foreign  importations  Is  not  due  to  a  decreas- 
ing capacity  for  consumption,  but  to  an  im- 
provement in  our  own  manufactures.  This 
is  well  known,  independently  of  the  figures 
to  which  we  are  referring.  But  it  is  con- 
firmed by  the  increase  in  the  importation  of 
unmanufactured  wool. 

A  state  of  things  partly  similar  to  that 
above  noted  is  found  in  the  exports  of  tin 
and-'tiil-plsitoa,-— X^e  total  English  exports 
of  tin  plates  have  only  advanced  18.3  per 
cent.,  while  those  to  this  covmtry  have  ad- 
vanced 22  per  cent  The  total  exports 
of  tin  have  increased  121*}  per  cent., 
while  those  of  this  country  have  in- 
creased 153  per  cent.  Both  of  these 
articles  are  raw  material  for  our  manufac- 
tures, and  for  manufactures  consumed 
largely  in  the  family.  A  like  conclusion  is 
warranted  from  the  exports  of  salt,  which 
have  advanced  for  all  countries  only  7.7  per 
cent,  and  for  the  United  States  19.8  per 
cent 

Wa  rejicat  that  the  reasonable  inference 
to  be  drawn  from  these  figures  is  favorable 
to  the  United  States.  A  country  which  in- 
creases its  imports  of  important  raw  ma- 
terials, which  gains  on  foreign  manufacturers 
in  important  branches,  aud  shows  an  in- 
creased capacity  tor  the  purchase  of  goods 
which  enter  into  the  ordinary  consumption  of 
all  classes,  has  a  right,  so  far  as  these  things 
indicate  its  condition,  to  take  "heart  of 
hope."  We '  are  aware  that  the  period 
covered  by  these  tables  is  not  a  long  one, 
and  that  the  branches  of  trade  to  which  they 
relate  are  not  controlling,  and  everyone  can 
understand  that  a  serious  mistake  in  our 
financial  policy,  or  an  untoward  turn  of  com- 
mercial affairs  throughout  the  world,  might 
easily  reverse  the  tendencies  which  the  tables 
denote.  But  in  the  absence  of  any  such 
misfortune,  and  with  the  exercise  of  reason- 
able prudence  aud  self-control,  there  is  no 
reason  why  the  country  should  not  look  for- 
ward to  a  solid  and  enduring,  even  if  moder- 
ate, advance  in  prosperity. 


PATiyO  THE  PIPES. 

In  Pennsylvania,  just  now,  shippers  and 
ovv-uers  of  goods  destroyed  in  the  Pittsburg 
railroad  riot  are  trying  to  find  out  how  to 
get  their  pay.  The  Pennsylvania  Railroad 
Company,  operating  under  State  laws,  as- 
sumed the  responsibility  of  transporting 
these  goods.  As  the  company  paid  taxes 
to  the  State,  and  in  various  waVs  conformed 
to  the  legal  requirements  imposed  upon  it, 
the  logical  presumption  was  that  it  was  en- 
titled to  the  protection  of  the  State  in  case 
of  riot  or  domestic  violence.  The  rehition  of 
the  shipper  to  the  State  is  not  so  clear.  The 
railroad  corporation,  as  a  common  carrier,  is 
responsible  for  goods  aud  merchandise  in- 
trusted to  it  for  carriage.  But  it  is  urged 
that  the  railroad  riot  was  au  extraordinary 
emergency,  and  that,  under  the  circum- 
stances, the  railroad  company  should  be 
released  from  the  obligations  of  a  common 
carrier.  It  could  not  be  expected  that  the 
corporation  should  be  prepared  to  defend 
its  cars  and  warehouses  against  a  riot  or  a 
rebellion.  The  State,  defending  the  rail- 
road, must  protect  the  railroad's  customers. 
However,  by  way  of  concession,  the  corpor- 
ation proposes  to  receive  from  shippers  all 
their  invoices  and  bills  of  lading,  and  use 
them  in  making  up  a  case  against  Allegheny 
County,  in  which  county  the  damages  were 
incurred.  The  corporation  becomes  the  at- 
torney of  the  shippers. 

The  railroad  company  has  its  otAi  claim 
against  Allegheny  Coimty.  The  property 
destroyed  at  Pittsburg  was  divided  into  two 
classes ;  part  of  this  was  in  goods  and  mer- 
chandise belonging  to  merchants  aud  ship- 
pers ;  and  part  was  in  buildings,  machinery, 
and  shops  belonging  to  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  corporation.  The  rioters  burned, 
wrecked,  and  stole  this  property  with  ad- 
mirable impartiality.  They  carefully  re- 
moved certain  piles  of  lumber  which  were 
contiguous  to  the  burning  railroad 
buildings,  because  "  they  were  not 
making  war  on  private  property." 
They  discriminately  looted  the  freight- 
trains,  and  the  goods  of  distant 
merchants  and  shippers  were  distributed 
among  the  families  and  followers  of  the 
rioters.  Altogether,  the  value  of  the  prop- 
erty destroyed  in  Pittsburg,  during  the  time 
when  the  railroad  strikers  were  asserting 
their  right  to  manage  the  business  of  the 
road,was  between  $2,000,000  and  $3,000,- 
000.  It  was  an  expensive  experiment. 
Now  th%t  the  day  of  reckoning  has  come, 
the  first  question  which  arises  is  that  which 
involves  the  right  of  the  individual  loser  to 
recover  from  th^e  railroad  corporation.  If 
the  corporation  assumes  an  obligation  to 
the  shipper,  the  demand  of  the  corporation 
wm  be  increased  yjy  just  so  much  when  it 
finally  reaches  the  County  of  -Allegheny. 

It  wUl  be  observed  that  nobodr  doubts,  or 


appear*  to  donbt,  the  ultimate  liabili^  of 
the  ooimty.  It  is  ooolly  oaloulated  that 
there  is  in  the  County  of  Allegheny  real  and 
personal  property  to  the  amount  of  $250,- 
000,000.  The  persons  and  corporations 
who  have  lost  by  the  riot  and  destmction  at 
Pittsburg  are  concerned  to  know  how  light 
the  tax  may  be  to  raise  the  money  needed 
to  pay  their  claims.  They  would  be  glad  to, 
let  off  the  tax-payers  lightly.  But, 
as  losers,  they  must  be  indemnified 
Wo  take  it  for  granted  that  they 
will  be.  As  long  as  Allegheny  County 
has  anything  to  be  taxed,  it  will  be  taxed  ; 
and  innocent  people,  who  had  no  more  to  do 
with  causing  the  riot  than  they  have  to 
do  with  the  war  in  Asia  Minor,  will  be  as- 
sessed to  pay  for  the  damage  done  by  the 
riot.  Exactly  how  many  mills  on  the  dol- 
lar will  be  exacted  we  do  not  know.  But 
the  rioters  who  burned  the  buildings  and 
robbed  the  freight-ears  of  the  Pennsyl, 
vania  Railroad  Company  were  burning  and 
destroying  the  property  of  the  citizens  of 
Allegheny  County,  many  of  whom  were  far 
from  Pittsburg,  unconscious  of  the  evil 
which  was  as  sure  to  come  to  them  as  death 
and  taxes.  This  is  one  way  of  paying  the 
piper. 

Let  ns  cite  an  individual  ease,  as  showing 
how  one  or  two  men  may  eventually  be 
obliged  to  pay  for  the  fun  which  they  hav  e 
had  as  the  givers  of  mob  law.  On  the  Le- 
high Valley  Railroad,  during  the  strike,  the 
rioters  were  desirous  of  avoiding  a  collision 
with  the  United  States  authorities.  Having 
a  wholesome  dread  of  national  authority, 
they  telegraphed  to  the  President  and 
Postmaster-General  to  the  effect  that  they, 
the  rioters,  would  permit  the  passage  of 
mail-cars,  provided  they  were  detached  from 
a  passenger-train  and  sent  on  by 
special  engine.  One  John  Hunt,  a 
leader  in  the  strike  at  South  Eas- 
ton,  Peun.,  stopped  a  train  to  which  a 
mail-oar  was  attached,  and  in  the  name  of 
a  high  and  mighty  committee  forbade  its 
going  on.  With  singular  magnanimity  he 
offered  to  permit  the  passage  of  the  mail- 
car  with  a  special  engine.  But  the  com- 
pany refused  to  bo  dictated  to  ;  they  would 
carry  the  mails  according  to  agreement 
made  with  the  Government,  and  in  no  other 
way.  Hunt  was  subsequently  arrested 
and,  with  two  accomplices,  tried  and  con- 
victed for  obstructing  the  passage  of  the 
United  States  mail.  His  impudent  tele- 
gram offering  a  conditional  release  of  the 
mail-car  was  produced  in  his  defense.  It 
was  laughed  at ;  and  he  will  doubtless  be 
treated  according  to  his  deserts. 

The  rioters  who  e.xulted  in  the  flames 
which  destroyed  buildings  and  goods  in 
transit,  at  Pittsburg,  insanely  fancied  that 
they  were  wreaking  vengeance  on  the  soul- 
less railroad  corporation.  People  who  live  in 
Allegheny  Coiuity  will,  for  years  to  come, 
pay  the  expenses  of  that  wild  day's  work. 
The  burden  will  first  fall  on  the  owners 
of  real  and  personal  estate.  But  eventu- 
aBy  it  will  be  felt  by  every  ni^n  who  liires 
a  roof,  or  part  of  a  roof,  to  cover  him,  or 
who  buys  food  or  clothing  in  Allegheny 
County.  As  many  of  the  rioters  as  re- 
main in  Pittsburg  will  pay  their 
'share.  They  cannot  escape  from  it 
though  they  may  not  own  a  foot  of  land 
or  so  much  as  a  hovel.  They  have  com- 
mitted a  crime  against  society,  and  society 
slowly  recovers  from  the  blow.  The  in- 
genious gentlemen  who  assumed  the  right 
to  say  what  traffic  should  or  should  not  go 
forward  on  the  railroad  will  have  oppor- 
tunity to  meditate  on  their  folly  behind 
prison  bars.  Tliey  were  so  infatuated  with 
the  success  of  their  brute  force  that  they 
thought  to  compel  the  Government  of  the 
United  States  to  co-operate  with  them  by 
directing  that  the  mails  should  be  carried  as 
the  rioters  dictated,  and  not  as  tne  law  pro- 
vided. These  lunatics  had  their  brief  day. 
The  time  of  reckoning  has  come.  . 


THE  BUSSIAS  IMPERIAL  GCAKD. 

The  \-ast  military  preparations  now  going 
forward  in  Russia  seem  likely  to  bring  the 
troops  of  the  household  brigade  into  the 
field  again,  after  a  comparatively  long  inter- 
val of  inaction  which  has  of  late  years  been 
a  favorite  subject  of  banter  witji  the  wits  of 
the  St.  Petersburg  press.  But  if  the  pacific 
reign  "i"  the  present  Czar  has  furnished  little 
active  employment  to  the  Life  Guards,  it 
was  far  otherwise  in  the  days  of  his  prede- 
cessors. The  first  definite  appearance 
of  the  "  Leib-Gvardia"'  in  history,  was  in 
the  form  of  the  notorious  Preobrajenski 
(Transfiguration)  Regiment,  justly  styled 
by  -Voltaire  "  the  Pretorian  Guard  of 
Russia,"  by  whose  influence  the  revolution 
which  destroyed  Peter  III.  in  1772,  to 
make  room  for  Cathabise  II. ,  was  mainly 
effected.  Around  this  nucleus  grew  up  by 
degrees  an  organized  household  brigade, 
which,  uider  the  able  care  of  Alexander 
I.,  had  already  attained  the  proportions 
of  a  small  army  when  the  Napoleonic 
war  broke  out.  In  the  most  desperate  bat- 
tles of  that  great  conflict  the  Russian 
Guaixls  figm-ed  conspicuously.  At  Auster- 
litz,  in  1805,  the  fiercest  struggle  of  the 
day  was  between  the  cavalry  of  the  French 
and  Russian  Imperial  Guards,  when,  in  the 
words  of  an  eye-witness,  "  they  fought 
man  to  man,  so  mingled  together  that  the 
infantry  on  either  side  durst  not  tiro  for 
fear  of  killing  their  own  men."  At  Fried- 
land,  in  1S07,  when  the  French  onset 
drove  back  the  Russians  to  the  enb-ance  of 
the  town,  the  Foot  Guards  checked  the  rout, 
and  repulsed  the  assailants  with  great 
slaughter  ;  but  the  advance  of  the  French 
reserves  overthrew  these  gallant  troops  in 
their  turn.  At  Borodino,  in  1812,  they 
bore  the  brunt  of  the  fight  with  a  fiirmuess 
which  excited  the  admiration  erf  Napoleon 
himself;  while  at  Leipsic,  in  the  Autumn  of 
the  ensuing  year,  it  was  the  Cossacks  of 
the  Guard  who  broke  Kellsbman's  cuii'as- 
siers,  and  retook  the  ridge  of  .4.aenhayn 
with  its  battery  of  twenty-six  cannon. 
Ihiring  the  fierce -short  struggle  of  1S14 
the  Russian  Guards  greatly  distinguished 
themselves  ;  aud  at  the  great  review  in  the 
Champ  de  Mars  after  the  fall  of  Paris  they 
were  pronounced  by  more  than  one  compe- 
tent judge  to  be  the  finest  troops  on  the 
ground. 

The  accession  of  Nicholas,  who  regarded 
an  army  as  a  costly  toy,  admirable  for  show, 
bnt  liable  to  be  spoiled  by  actual  use,  left 
a  long  blank  in  the  annals  of  the  Life 
Guards.  Their  share  in  the  Crimean  war 
was  merely  nominal,  and  since  its  close 
they  have  never  been  in  the  field  at  all ; 
but,  nevertheless,  they  are  not  likely  to  be 
found  wanting  when  called  upon.  Some 
portions  of.  the  famous   brisade.  indeed — 


such  as  the  ^ted  and  jaok-booted  "  Olga 
Cuirassiers,"  wearing  ponderous  helmets 
surmounted  by  a  gilt  eagle,  the  "  Maria 
Pavlovna  Cossacks,"  gay  in  silver  and  blue, 
and  the  scarlet-frocked  Circassians,  with 
their  pointed  helmets  and  chain-mail  hoods 
— are  palpably  intended  more  for  ornament 
than  for  hard  service ;  but  there  can  be  no 
question  as  to  the  quality  of  the  forty-five 
battalions  of  infantm  that  defiled  along,  ftf* 
Admiralty  Plain  at  St.  Petersburg,  in 
December,  1871,  under  the  keen  gray  eyes 
of  Count  Von  Moltke,  with  a  steadiness 
and  precision  which  elicited  looks  of  ap- 
proval even  from  such  rigid  critics  as  Gens. 
Alvensleben  and  Von  Webdek.  Should 
they  be  sent  to  the  front,  the  heavy  rains 
and  short  provisions  of  Bulgaria  will  un- 
doubtedly try  their  mettle  ;  but  when  once 
confronted  with  the  enemy  on  a  pitched 
field  they  are  tolerably  certain  to  give  a 
good  account  of  him. 


CITT  LABORERS  AND  TAMMATft  POL- 
ITICS. 

None  of  the  official  or  semi-official  organs 
of  Controller  Kelly  have  attempted  to  ex- 
plain why  he  reduced  the  sum  appropriated 
for  the  repaving  and  repair  of  down-town 
streets  fi-om  $700,000  to  $350,000,  and 
why  the  sum  thus  cut  off  from  a  very  neces- 
sary appropriation  should  have  been  partly 
expended  in  increasing  the  salaries  of 
"  Tom"  Dunlap,  "  Ed"  Gale,  "  Billy" 
BoTD,  and  other  City  officials  closely  con- 
nected with  Tammany  Hall.  We  observe 
that  the  Sun  has  taken  the  trouble  to  find 
out  on  behalf  of  the  laborers  who 
have  been  discharged"  because  of  the 
insufficiency  of  the  appropriation  for 
street  repairs,  why  two  Brooklyn  laborers 
had  been  retained,  while  200  New-Yorkers 
were  discharged.  It  is  strange  that  our  en- 
terprising contemporary  should  have  lim- 
ited its  inquiries  to  this  point.  An  explan- 
ation of  why  the  appropriation  was  insuffi- 
cient would  have  been  more  to  the  purpose, 
and  would  have  enabled  the  discharged  200, 
as  well  as  the  others  who  were  likely  to 
follow  them,  to  find  out  whether  they  are 
the  victims  of  public  necessity  or  of  a  sys- 
tem of  political  trickery  and  fraud  which 
sustains  itself  by  their  votes  and ,  pays  its 
favorites  out  of  their  pockets. 

We  have  already  explained  that  John 
Kelly  was  primarily  responsible  for  re- 
ducing by  one-half  the  appropriation  for  the 
repair  of  down-town  streets  asked  for  by 
Commissioner  Campbell  and  inserted  in 
the  City  budget  by  Controller  Gbees.  An 
attempt  was  made  to  supply  the  deficit  thus 
created  by  a  bill  appropriating  $200,000 
for  the  purpose  in  question.  The  bill  passed 
both  houses,  aud,  as  is  shown  by  the  follow- 
ing letter,  the  Governor  was  appealed  to  by 
Commissioner  Campbell  and  Mayor  Ely  to 
allow  it  to  become  law  : 

Kew-Yoek,  May  24,  1877. 
To  Hon.  Luciui  Robinson,  Governor; 

SlE :  Permit  me  to.comraend  to  your  favorable  con- 
sideration .Assembly  bill  No.  520,  now  before  von  for 
approval,  providinsfor  an  expenditure  of  $200,000 
in  two  years  iu  repaving  and  repairing  the  streets 
south  of  Foarteenth-atre«t  iu  this  City- 
Many  or  Ihes^  streets  are  now  in  such  condition  as 
to  seriously  impede  traffic,  thus  injuring  commerce  to 
a  considerable  extent,  and  our  present  appropriations 
are  insuflicieut  to  enable  us  to  make  the  necessary 
improrements- 

The  benefits  to  commerce,  public  health,  and  pub- 
lic interests  generally  to  be  derived  from  a  judicious 
expt^nditure  of  the  proposed  appropriation  arc  so 
great  as  to  make  the  bill  a  measure  of  true  economy, 
and  1  trust,  therefore,  that  it  will  meet  your  approval- 
I  am.  Sir,  very  respectfully  yours, 

AJ.T.Ay  CAMPBELL, 
Commissioner  of  Public  Works. 
1  cordially  concur  with  the  alK>ve  recommendation. 
SMITH  ELY,  Jk.,  Mayor. 

The  assertion  is  made,  with  what  justice 
we  are  unable  to  say,  that  the  Governor  dis- 
regarded these  appeals  at  the  express  de- 
mand of  Jotes  Kelly.  It  is  certain  that 
Kelly  did  not  favor  the  passage  of  the  law, 
and  it  is  equally  certain  that  it  is  now  pre- 
tended by  Tammany  politicians  that  he  did. 
This  is  clearly  a  case  in  which  the  City 
laborers  should liave  some  explanation  from 
their  alleged  "  friends,"  and  in  which  the 
people  at  large  who  are  interested  in  re- 
deeming down-town  thoroughfares  from 
their  present  disgraceful  condition,  may 
fitly  hold  to  account  the  unprincipled  dema- 
gues  who  regard  public  interests  as  at  all 
times  subsidiary  to  the  interests  of  Tam- 
many office-holders. 


A  CHINESE  MTSTESr. 

The  recent  event  which  created  so  much 
surprise  and  consternation  in  Providence 
can  hardly  be  passed  over  without  comment 
by  the  thoughtful  and  earnest  journalist. 
It  is  not  a  topic  to  be  treated  with  the 
irreverent,  if  amusing,  flippancy  character- 
istic of  such  journals  as  the  Evening  Post  or 
the  Missionary  Herald.  There  are  some 
subjects  which  should  be  approached  in  a 
serious  frame  of  mind  and  handled  with 
earnestness  and  dignity.  The  Providence 
affair  is  unquestionably  one  of  these,  and 
the  lesson  which  it  teaches  is  as  solemn  as 
it  is  valuable. 

Not  very  long  ago  a  Chinese  Commission- 
er, with  some  rather  indefinite  mission,  took 
up  his  residence  in  Providence.  He  was  an 
amiablte  gentleman,  who  dressed  in  the 
Rhode  Island  style,  and  put  up  his  pigtail 
with  hairpins  so  as  to  effectually  conceal  it 
under  his  hat.  He  was  accompanied  by  two 
pretty  Chinese  ladies,  who  were  understood 
to  be  respectively  his  wife  and  sister-in-law, 
and  who  made  up  by  their  cheerful  smiles 
for  their  ignorance  of  the  Rhode  Island 
language.  The  new-comers  were  received 
with  open  arms  by  Providence  "  society," 
and  while  the  grave  but  affable  Commission- 
er was  especially  popular  amefigTh^  ladies 
his  fair  companions  were  even  more 
lar,  since  it  was  evident  that  no  matter 
pretty  they  might  be,  two  ladies  who  were* 
able  to  converse  only  with  the  aid  of  signs 
and  tea-chests  could  not  prove  dangerous  ri- 
vals to  ladies  who  could  converse  in  the  best 
Rhode  Island  dialect  upon  such  important 
subjects  as  Patti's  divorce  case  and  the 
Brown  University  Base-ball  Club.  It  was 
unanimously  agreed,  that  the  Chinese  ladies 
were  perfectly  sweet.  They  were  such 
dear  little  innocent  things,  remarked 
the  Providence  ladies ;  though  their  feet 
were  so  ridiculously  small,  aud  they  were 
awfully  nice,  even  if  they  were  so  fearfully 
ignorant  that  they  had  never  heard  of 
"Timothy  Titeomb."  As  for  the  Co  mmis- 
sioner  himself,  he  was  just  a  perfect  love, 
and  it  was  awfully  mean  in  the  local  ortho- 
dox ministers  to  call  him  a  heathen.  His 
religion  was  beautiful,  and  was  almost  the 
same  as  one  of  Mr.  Fbothingsam's  last  re- 
ligions. No  man  who  bowed  so  gracefully 
and  said  such  nice  things  could  be  anything 
buteood.no  matter  if  unoharitable  people 


did  call  him  a  heathen.  Whispered  regrets 
that  he  was  not  an  unmarried  man  were 
frequently  heard,  and  more  than  one  lady 
who  was  supposed  to  have  given  up  all  ex- 
peotations  of  marriage  took  the  broad  gen- 
eral ground  that  for  a  Christian  woman  to 
many  a  weU-meaning  Confucian,  ih  order 
to  gently  lead  him  into  the  Unitarian  fold, 
would  be  a  noble  exhibition  of  enlightened 
philanthropy. 

In  oom^e  of  time  the  Commissioner's  wife 
presented  him  with  a  small  Chinese  son, 
who  was  declared  to  be  the  exact  image  of 
the  typical  infant  portrayed  on  Chinese 
fans.  The  Providence  ladies  felt  a  renewed 
interest  in  the  happy  Chinese  household, 
and  sent  the  happy  mother  presents  of  tea, 
fire-crackers,  rice-pudding,  crockery,  and 
such  other  objects  as  might  be  supposed  to 
meet  her  Cliinese  views.  It  was  tmdoubtedly 
a  mistake  to  send  her  a  basket  of  sparrows' 
nests,  since  that  particular  variety  of  bird's 
nest  is  not  edible,  but  the  Commissioner 
and  his  family  appreciated  the  motives  of 
the  senders  and  were  grateful.  A  graver 
mistake  was  made  by  a  warm-hearted  old 
lady  who  sent  the  Commissioner  a  dozen 
choice  young  rats,  and  was  greatly  sur- 
prised when  her  present  was  unceremoni- 
ously thrown  at  the  head  of  the  small  boy 
who  carried  it,  and  who  subsequently  re- 
ported that  the  Commissioner  swore  dread- 
fully in  his  native  and  complicated  tongne. 
Still,  there  could  be  no  doubt  tliat  the 
arrival  of  the  infant  Chinaman  was  warmly 
welcomed,  and  that,  on  the  whole,  the  popu- 
larity of  the  Chinese   family  was   increased. 

To  say  that  Providence  was  surprised  when, 
precisely  four  months  later,  the  amiable  Com- 
missioner announced  that  he  had  a  "  new 
piecee  small  boy,"  would  convey  a  very  faint 
idea  of  the  effect  of  that  announcement. 
Two  successive  small  boys  within  four  con- 
secutive months  was  something  imparalleled 
in  the  history  of  any  Providence  family.  No 
serious  objection  would  have  been  made  to 
the  two  Chinese  infants  liad  the  latest  one 
avoided  crowding  so  closely  upon  his  pre- 
decessor; for  the  Bostonian  theory  that 
maternity  is  an  essentially  indelicate  act  of 
which  no  cultured  lady  shoidd  be  guilty,  has 
not  as  yet  been  fully  adopted  in  Rhode 
Island  communities.  Nevertheless,  it  was 
felt  that  the  presence  of  two  infants,  one  of 
which  was  but  four  months  older  than  the 
other,  in  a  respectable  family  could  not  be 
overlooked.  There  were  a  few  stanch 
friends  of  the  Commissioner  among  the 
elderly  single  ladies  whose  hearts  had  been 
won  by  flowery  Chinese  compliments,  who 
tried  to  smooth  the  matfer  over  by  suggest- 
ing that  among  a  people  so  peculiar  as  the 
Chinese  all  sorts  of  odd  customs  might  pre- 
vail ;  but  the  suggestion  was  scornfully  re- 
pelled by  all  the  married  ladies.  The  ut- 
most efforts  were  made  to  solve  the  mys- 
tery which  it  was  agreed  hung  on  the  affair. 
The  leading  minister  was  asked  his  opinion 
of  it,  and  replied  that  the  ways  of  the 
heathen  are  dark  and  past  finding  out  ; 
and  the  officiating  medical  man  refused  to 
violate  his  Hippocratie  oath  by  revealing 
the  secrets  of  his  patients.  Finally,  the 
truth  was  obtained  directly  from  the  frank 
and  tmsuspecting  Commissioner,  who  ex- 
plained that  he  had  "two  piecee  wife,"  in- 
stead of  a  wife  and  a  sister-in-law,  and  that 
his  newest  infant  was  the  property  of  the 
second  wife. 

That  Commissioner  being  thus  openly  con- 
Wcted  of  polygamy  has  fallen  from  his  for- 
mer height  of  popularity.  He  is  no  longer 
regarded  as  the  best  of  men,  and  his  wives 
.are  no  longer  described  as  dear  little  inno- 
cent things.  In  fact,  he  has  been  openly 
denounced  as  a  miserable  pagan,  and  has 
been  cut  on  the  streets  by  the  elderly  maiden 
ladies,  who  recognize  the  improbability 
that  he  will  become  a  complete  widower  in 
time  to  really  mend  his  ways.  Meanwhile, 
the  unsuspecting  pagan  cannot  understand 
what  is  the  matter,  and  has  written  to  his 
Government  that  the  barbariai^  have  been 
inftu-iated  at  their  glimpse  of  Chinese  and 
meditate  the  massacre  of  himself  and  his 
family. 

This  incident  teaches  more  things  than 
can  be  well  set  forth  within  the  limits  of 
t.bia  column. 


GENERAL  NOTES. 


It  cost  Maiyland  about  $100,000  to  keep  the 
troops  employed  to  suppress  the  rioters. 

A  Canadian  brought  to  Ottawa,  a  day  or  two 
ago,  a  310-pband  bear  that  he  bad  killed  on  his  farm 
in  Osgoode. 

Mrs.  Shafer's  daughter  when  bom  in  Michi- 
gon  the  other  day  weighed  15  ounces.  Though  a 
small  Shafer  it  still  lives  and  thrires  apace. 

There  were  1.356  norels  taken  from  the 
Toledo  (Ohio,)  Public  Library  last  week,  and  106 
volumes  relating  to  the  arts  and  sciences,  history,  and 
biography. 

All  the  ex-Union  soldiers  in  Minnesota  are  in- 
vited to  meet  at  St.  Paul,  on  the  6t4i  of  September, 
to  help  entertain  the  Society  of  the  Army  of  the 
Tennessee,  which  meetsthere  at  that  time. 

A  County  Court  in  Kentucky  has  tried  to 
stay  the  operation  of  the  Dog-law  until  the  meeting 
of  the  Legislature,  but  the  Attorney- General  of  the 
State  has  Informed  it  that  It  is  exceeding  its  powers. 

The  Democrats  of  New-Haven  contend  that 
the  State  law  for  cumulative  voting  at  town  elec- 
tions is  unconstitutional,  aud  they  will  vote  a  full 
ticket  of  seven  Selectmen,  instead  of  four  of  the 
seven  as  the  law  provides.  If  they  succeed,  those 
favoring  the  law  must  test  the  matter  in  the  courts. 

The  Baltimore  ATtterican  says  that  the  North- 
em  Central  Railway  Company  are  making  arrange- 
mt;nts  to  give  their  employes  a  free  excursion  to 
Fair  Haven  this  week,  each  ticket  to  be  good  for  a 
whole  famUy.  Meals  are  to  be  served  alao.  This  is 
in  rec<^nition  of  the  conduct  of  the  men  doring  the 
late  labor  troubles. 

A  New-Hampshire  paper  leports  that  the 
Cle>k  of  the  State  Senate  carelessly  indorsed  a 
House  bill  as  passed  by  the  Senate,  when  it  had  been 
rejected  by  a  nearly  two-thirds  vote,  and  it  vras  duly 
engrossed  and  signed  by  the  Governor.  It  prohibits 
towns  from  appropriating  pionev  to  aid  railroads,  and 
now  appears  among  the  laws. 

Gov.  Zeb.  Vance  advises  the  unemployed 
laboring  men  in  Baltimore  who  are  talking  of  re- 
moving to  gftt>i^ft^  to  come  to  Xorth  Carolina,  where, 
he  says,  lauds  can  beaecored  in  farms,  large  or  small, 
or  in  great  bodies  for  colonies,  quite  as  cheaply  as  in 
Kansas  or  anywhere  in  the  West  outside  of  the  xai- 
sold  lands  of  th»  Government. 

£x-Gk)v.  Hendricks  has  written  to  a  friend  in 
Indianapolia  that  Paris  "is  not  so  great  a  city  aa 
London,  but  it  is  more  beautiful  than  you  can  con- 
ceive of;"  and  that  '*  the  objects  of  interest  are  to 
nomerons  thit  it  is  a  great  undertaking  to  visit, 
them."  It  is  astonishing  how  much  valoable  in* 
formation  our  statesmen  are  picking  up  abroad  in 
these  days. 

A  negro  prisoner  in  Loaisville,  who  claims  to 
have  been  deaf  and  dumb  for  seven  years,  suddenly 
foundhimself  possessed  of  the  power  of  sp»ech  one 
day  lust  week,  and  since  then  he  has  talked  to  the 
point  of  distraction  everybody  who  unluckily  csm« 
within  ear-shot.  He  says  tjat  when  he  discovered 
that  he  could  hear  and  talk  he  tried  to  break  his  cell

CoxcoRD,  N.  H.,  Aug.  22. — The  Presi- 
dential party  left  Plymouth  at  &:50  this  morn- 
ing, taking  a  special  train.  At  Asliland  a  short 
stop  was  made,  and  the  President  nnd  his  wife 
were  introduced  to  the  crowd  by  Gov.  Prescott* 
ftnd  a  shaking  of  hands  was  participated  in.  At 
Meredith  Tillage  a  smaU  number  had  a» 
sembledt  and  the  President  and  his  wife  were 
introduced,  shaking  hands  for  a  xnoment  and 
departing  amid  cheers.  At  Weirs  Station,  the 
location  of  the  Winnipiaeogee  Camp-meeting 
As-sociation,  at  least  5,000  people  had  congre- 
gated to  greet  the  President  and  party.  The 
visitors  were  at  once  taken  from  the  train  by  a 
committee  and  escorted  to  the  preachers  stand, 
where  the  President  was  received  by  Rev.  Mr. 
Adams  in  an  address  of  welcome,  to  which  the 
President  rerlied  as  follows  : 

Feiekds  and  Fellow-Citizeks  :  I  wish  lo  assure 
you  that  this  kind  welcome  gives  me  vei^  great  grai- 
mcatiuo.  We  do  not,  I  am  sure,  mistakeiui  mean- 
ing. Vou  are  interested  in  me.  aud  those  with  lae. 
because  of  the  great  trust  which,  under  the  Constitu- 
tion and  laws,  has  devolved  upon  us.  Yuu  belie^'e, 
with  Lincoln,  that  iu  the  perfonnance  of  Ibt 
duties  the  onlv  safe  reiianc*;  for  your  Magis- 
trate is  that  l&ivloe  assiftance  withoojt  which  he 
cannot  succeed,  and  with  which  he  cannot  fail.  My 
earnebt  desire  is,  my  praver  is.  that  in  tveiy  difficoit 
aud  grave  emei^ncy,  1  may  be  so  guidL*d  that  all 
good  citizens  can  approve  the  measures  that  may  be 
adopted,  and  that  all  mi.y  conscientlouslv  pmy  for 
their  complet*-  success.  Ay  friends,  w**  have  three 
members  of  ihe  Cabinet  ;  you  will  be  glad  to  be  in- 
troduced to  each.  First  allow  me  to  introduce  a  dis- 
tinguished soldier  of  Massachusetts,  who  has  a  high 
reputation  as  a  la.wyer.  and  who  is  known  every- 
where as  a  conscientiously  upright  man-— Gen. 
Deveus. 

Gen.  Devens  said : 

Your  meeting  is  one  to  which  vou  have  resorted  for 
ptirpoftcs  of  improvement.  1  do  not  expect  to  im- 
prove a  camp-meetiug.  Here  at  least  there  will  be 
rejoicing  at  the  prospect  of  peace  aud  reconciliation. 
A  few  years  ago  the  Church  oi  which  you  are  a  part, 
here  represented,  and  one  that  has  raised  up  so 
many  from  the  depths  to  which  they  had  fallen,  wa-i 
torn  and  rent  a'  utider  by  the  great  coufliet  uf  anus 
between  liberty  aud  slavery.  Certainly,  uuw  thaz 
the  great  questions  involved  iu  that  contest  are 
settled,  there  is  great  reason  to  rejoice.  The 
memburs  of  the  Church.  North  and  South, 
are  again  united.  I  know  that  here,  of  all  places, 
goodintentions  willbe  appreciated,  and  that,  although 
it  may  have  been  said  that  the  ro»d  to  Hell  is  paved 
with  good  intentions,  here  good  intentions  will  not 
be  thrown  aside,  and  that  every  one  believes 
that  he  who  has  good  intentions  and '  is  g<)verned  by 
them  will  as  surely  find  the  result  of  doing  right  as 
smoke  fioata  upwazxl  to  the  sky. 

The  President  then  said : 

It  is  not  best  for  one  bred  to  the  law  to  attempt  ta 
quote  Scripture,  but  there  is  something  like  this  : 
"  There  is  more  Joy  over  the  repenting  one  than 
over  a  hundred  that  have  not  gone  astray. "  We  have 
with  us  a  friend  who  was  for  four  year*  against  us, 
aud  more  reountly  made  the  mistake  of  voting 
asrainst  me,  but  now,  on  the  question  of  the  int^- 
rity  and  maintenance  of  the  Union,  and  on  the  ques- 
tion of  freedom  and  equality  to  all  men,  no  man  is 
before  Judge  Key. 

The  Postmaster-General  spoke  as  follows : 
It  would  not  be  expected  that  I  should  appear  hore 
'Without  embarrassment.  It  is  not  without  feelings 
of  stMinpsf  that  I  view  this  scene.  I  am.  carried  back 
to  my  boyhood  davs,  when  in  that  far  distant  South. 
my  sunny  home,  I  attended  meetings  like  this,  for 
Methodists  we  found  in  that  part  of  the  Union,  and 
my  father  was  a  htmible  minister  in  your  Church. 
He  has  been  gone  now  10  years,  and  yon  have  heai  d 
how  L  his  own  son.  have  wandered.  I  will  not  at- 
tempt to  quote  Scripture;  for  I  might  fail  more  sig- 
nificantly than  the  President ;  but  I  have  heard  an 
old  hynm  that  reads : 

*  While  the  lamp  ho'ds  out  to  bum. 
The  vilest  sinner  may  return." 

The  fact  that  Gen.  Devens  and  I  areLhere  tosether 
shows  that  the  principles  of  religion  have  a  hold  in 
the  Cabinet,  if  not  throughout  the  whole  country. 
The  people  of  Xew.BLanipstiire  net?d  have  no  fears  of 
the  people  of  the  South.  Bot-n  political  parties  there 
have  indorsed  the  Constitution  and  all  of  its  amend- 
ments, and  the  people  have  been  placed  by  the  Presi- 
dent and  his  policy  on  their  good  beliavior.  and  I  am 
sure  they  will  keep  their  faith.  I  thank  you  sincere- 
ly for  this  greeting,  and  I  accept  it  not  as  a  compli- 
ment to  myself,  but  as  a  mark  or  the  feeling  of  amity 
you  have  tor  the  people  of  the  South. 

Secretary  Evarts  was  then  introduced.  He 
said  : 

L^niES  AXB  Gentlemes  :  When  the  founders  of 
this  Government  formed  M-  thvy  laid  its  tmpport 
sure  in  ci^il  and  religious  liberty,  and  insisted  on  tho 
entire  separation  of  Church  and  State.  They  were 
guilty  of  no  such  folly  as  wotdd  confound  freedom  in 
religion  with  freedom  from  relicion.  They  wanted 
that  there  should  be  one  seat  of  united  power,  and 
that  in  the  hearts  of  the  x>eople.  They  were  religious 
people  themselves,  and  knew  no  method  1^  which 
men  could  be  capable  of  self -government  but  when 
they  had  been  made  capable  of  govemiug 
themselves.  They  insisted  that  thoncfa  there 
were  a  diversitv  of  gifts,  yet  there  should  be  the 
same  spirit-  Jfow.  in  this  beautiful  scene,  where  all 
that  makes  nature  and  men  worttiy  of  visitors  is 
found,  we  have  seen  nothing  wauting  in  the  magnti- 
cence  of  our  reception.  As  we  have  ridden  through 
your  magnificent  State  we  have  seen,  as  it  were,  that 
mountains  skipped  for  joy,  and  now  literally  tii© 
hills  have  clapped  their  hands.  The  history  of  this 
people  shows  that  there  was  never  a  profounder  say- 
UQg  than  "who  has  not  much  meditated  of  God  and 
Tnnyi  -will  over  be  naught  but  blundering  patriot  and 
•orry  statesman." 

Gov.  Prescott  was  tben  introduced,  and  he 
responded  by  introducing  Mrs.  Hayes,  who  was 
received  with  hearty  applause-  Praver  was  of- 
fered by  Rev.  Dr.  Barrows,  and.  amid  singing, 
the  party  were  escorted  to  the  cars  and  pro 
ceeded  on  their  way,  stopping  for  a  moment  at 
Lake  Village  and  Laconia.  At  Tilton  a  plat 
f  orm^  had  been  raised,  and  the  President  and  hij 
Cabinet  were  escorted  to  it-  The  President  was 
introduced  by  Gov.  Prescott.  After  muiiic  bj 
the  band,  President  Hayes  said  : 

FeIESDS  and  FELLOW-CniZENS  :  The  five 
minutes  that  we  are  allowed  to  stop  here  does  not 
allow  me  to  make  a  speech  to  you  ;  neither  do  yuu 
desire  it.  You  came  to  make  our  acquaintance. 
Your  presence  here  is  evidence  that,  although  vou 
may  not  agree  with  me  in  partyor  In  regard  to  policy 
or  measures,  I  hope  you  are  interested  to  see  me,  so 
far  as  good  intentions  go,  and  so  far  as  I  shall 
endeavor  to  do  what  you  would  have  me  do.  You 
will  be  charitable  to  mutakes,  and  I  have  no  doubt 
we  may  make  many.  You  will,  however.  I  hope, 
agree  with  me,  that  in  the  nation,  amove  all  classes 
aud  colors,  there  should  be  peace  If  you  do  wo 
shall  not  dififer  angrily  or  violently  about  measures. 
It  is  in  that  desire  an&  with  that  purpose  that  I  hope 
in  four  years  to  do  something  for  the  whole  cotmtrv 
«nd  for  all  its  inhabitants.  I  am  sure  you  would 
rather  hear  some  one  else— Judge  Key  for  instance 

Judge  Key  said : 

I  simply  present  myself  before  you  to  acknowledge 
my  appreciation  of  your  greeting.  All  of  us  commit 
errors,  but  it  is  better  to  grow  better  than  to  gro'y 
worse. 

President  Hayes  said: 

I  have  now  the  pleasure  of  introducing  to  yon 
Secretarv  Evarta  the  man  who  has  the  rvputatiou  of 
being  able  to  make  the  longest  speech  of  any  one  in 
the  world.  I  will  show  tou  that  he  can  make  the 
shortest,  I  hope. 

Mr.  Evarts — A  wise  traveler,  proceeding  to  the 
West,  when  near  the  extremity  of  the  country  pro- 
duced a  reflection.  The  further  he  traveled  West 
the  more  he  was  satis£ed  that  wise  men  came  from 
the  East.  We  have  confirmed  that  reflection.  I  am 
sorry  my  reputation  has  preceded  me.  Th««  is  somo 
limit  to  my  speeches,  ana  one  of  the  beet  in  the  staxt- 
iug  of  the  tram.  I  was  invited  to  deliver  au  address 
at  the  Centennial  Exhibition  at  Philadelphia,  and  a 
friend  said  to  me  :  "  We  all  know  you  spoke  four 
days  in  the  in^>eachment  trial  and  eight  days  in  the 
Bf^echer  trial.  Is  there  any  limit  to  your  Centtmnial 
oration  ?  "  I  said,  "*  No  ;  there  is  no  limit,  only  au 
implied  one  that  I  am  to  get  thK>tigh  sometime  be- 
fore the  next  CenteimiaL 

Amid  cheers  the  party  then  proceeded  to 
Nortizfield,  where  the  express  for  the  North  was 
met,  bringing  as  additions  to  the  party  Vice- 
President  Wheeler,  Grov.  Heame  and  daughter, 
and  members  ^of  his  staff.  Mayor  Pillsbory,  of 
Concord,  Attorney-General  Tappan.  and  others^ 
The  company  then  proceeded  to  Concord  with- 
out farther  itops,  reachiiLg  here  at  12:10 
o'clock.  The  detwt  was  thronged  with  people, 
and  as  Hie  train  moved  in  President  Hayes,  who 
stood  upon  the  platform  of  the  car  with  Vice- 
President  Wheeler,  acknowledged  the  cheers 
with  wbidi  he  was  greeted  by  uncovering  hia 
head  and  bowing.  As  he  steppe  from  the  car 
into  the  space  cleared  by  soldiery  he  was 
approached  by  Mayor  Pillsbury,  who  de- 
livtretl  a  brief  address  of  welcome. 

President  Hayes  briefly  expressed  thanks  for 
the  conrtesies  extended  to  him,  ana,  with  Secr^ 
tary  Evarts,  Postmaster-General  Key,  and 
Attorney-General  Devens,  proceeded  to  the 
front  of  the  depot  to  take  carriages.  A  line  was 
immediately  formed,  the  escort  being  drawn  up 
in  Depotrsquare  to  receive  the  distingiiisbed 
gueata.  As  the  procession  passed  through  tb«

ftt  which  the  Presidential  party  and  prominent 
gentletnen  with  their  ladies  were  present.  The 
President  and  Mrs.  Pillsbury  were  seated  at  the 
rtght  of  Mayor  Pillsbury,  who  presided,  and 
Vice-President  Wheeler  and  Mrs.  Gov. 
Steams  on  his  left.  The  members  of 
the  Cabinet  and  ladies  sat  at  the 
iame  table,  as  did  other  prominent 
gentlemen.  At  the  conclusion  of  the  dinner. 
President  Hayes,  Secretary  Evarts,  Postmaster- 
9*herftl  Key,  and  Attorney-General  Devens, 
— *ccom|»nied  by  Gov.  Prescott  and  staff,  Sena- 
tors Wadleigh  and  Rollins,  and  others,  escorted 
c^  a  Militia  company,  proceeded  to  the  rotunda 
of  the  State-house,  where  the  President  held 
1  reception,  and  some  10.000  persons  passed 
through  the  hall  and  shook  hands  with  him- 
After  the  reception  the  party  proceeded  to  the 
steps  of  the  Capitol,  where  Gov.  Prescott  intro- 
iuced  President  Hayes.  The  President  then 
addressed  the  large  crowd  that  had  gathered 
■s  follows : 

Gov.  Peiscott.  Ladies,  AJfn  Gkntlsmex  :  This 
CQStom  of  handshaking  which  I  have  joat  got 
throBgh  with  comes  down  to  us  ihrongh  several 
generations,  and  it  is  not  an  altogether  satisfactory 
proceeding.  And  now,  havinK  sliaken  hands,  we 
hardly  feel  acquainted  with  ea<3i  other^we  wish  to 
hear  the  voice,  and  I  suppose  it  is  as  proper  now 
M  at  any  time  to  make  my  acknowl- 
edgment _  to  the  authorities  of  the 
State  of  Kew-Hamp6hire.  the  Governor  and  memhers 
of  the  Legislature,  and  to  the  authorities  of  the  City 
of  Concord,  for  their  kindness  in  bringing  me  to 
New-Hiunpshire.  We  entered  the  State  l^t  Monday, 
and  have  oeen  making  our  way  through  it,  visiting 
ihe  remarkable  sceneryof  the  mountain  resribns  under 
circumstances  every  way  favorable.  The  weather 
has  been  perfect,  the  sky  clear,  and  the  air  bracing, 
and  when  on  top  of  Mount  Washington  there  seemed 
nothing  lacking  to  improve  that  wonderful  spectacle, 
which  Is  as  surprising  as  it  is  perfect.  we  have 
had  a  few  clouds  in  the  sky.  just  enongh 
to  make  the  sky  seem,  beautdfui  as  their 
shadows  floated  over  the  great  mountains-  Passing 
from  there  we  came  down  into  the  region  of  the 
lakes,  that  beautiful  part  of  New-Hampshire  wliere 
your  CTeat  rivex— rivers,  perhaps — take  their 
rise,  where  the  great  Merrimac — ^that  river 
which  builds  up  snch  cities  as  Low- 
ell, Lawrence.  and  Manchester— takes  its 
rite.  So  I  came  on  down  here  under  a  somewhat 
hotter  sun  than  is  usual  in  your  climate.  I  think.  I 
met  you,  my  fellow-citizens,  glad  to  exchange  greet- 
ing with  you.  and  to  be  met  by  you,  I  thought  that 
tt  was  not  altogether  proper  in  meeting  this  people 
that  I  should  talk  politics  to  them ;  men  of 
all  parties  have  met  me.  Democrats,  Repub- 
licans, and  Independent  Republicans — Republicans 
that  are  satisfied,  and  RepubHcans  that  are  dissatis- 
fied, [applause  and  laughter,]  and  really.  I  feel  by 
the  way  that  "  laagh  "  comes  in  that  there  is  a  pret- 
ty large  crowd  here.  [laaKhter]  but  at  any  rate  we 
are  here  not  to  talk  politics,  and  it  does  not  seem 
proper  to  me  that  one  in  my  situation  should 
argue  as  to  the  measures  he  thinks  proper  to  pursue. 
what  you  wont  in  this  country  a.^*  an  Executive  is 
one  that  shali  execute.  That  I  believe  to  be  his  duty, 
and  all  that  I  want  of  my  cuuntr\-men  Is  that  charita- 
ble judgment  that  is  proper  to  be  given  by  luen 
among  men,  looking  each  other  in  the  face',  who 
believe  that  upon  the  whole  the  man 
they  are  looking  in  the  face,  whether  he 
is  right  or  wrong.  after  all  means  to 
be  right.  [Cries  of  "Good."  add  applause.]  It  is  not 
a  good  thing  to  say  of  a  man  that  his  intentions  are 

f:ood — and  there  is  a  proverU  that  a  very  bad  place 
s  paved  with  good  intentions— •[ laughter] — and  yet, 
after  all,  among  this  people,  the  man 
that  has  the  confidence  of  the  people 
that  he  has  KtK>d  intentions  has  gained  something, 
and  perhaps  I  had  better  stop  here  and  call  upon 
some  othej — [tries  of ."  Go  on.']  Well,  then,  there 
is  only  one  other  things  and  that  is  that  up  here  in 
Kew-fiampshire.  as  in  Ohio  and  every  other  State, 
Tou  desire  this  Union  to  be  a  real  L'nion, 
[Aman  I]  union  of  hearts,  union  of  friends.  You 
would  wish  to  have  the  entire  Vnion  secure ;  not 
merely  by  force,  but  by  all  the  affections  of  the  j>eo- 
ple  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  [Applause.]  >ow, 
while  we  have  had  in  the  past  distrust  between  sec- 
tions, alienation,  and  the  hostility  uf  bad  blood.  I 
believe,  nevertheless,  that  with  the  cause  re- 
moved the  old  harmony  and  concord  may  return: 
[Cries  of  "  Good ;"]  and  I  believe  it  will  return  ;  and 
iDeheve  in  adopting  measures  that  will  make  it  re- 
turn speedily.  [Applause  and  loud  cries  of  "Good."] 
Then  I  do  not  see  but  that  in  the  main  we 
agrve  as  to  the  most  needful  thing  to  be 
done,  and  our  only  difference  is  upon  the 
meafores  by  which  we  are  to  accomplish 
that  «nd,  and  this  I  must  decline  altogether  to  dis- 
cusSi.  [Laughter.)  And  so  now  fet  me  introduce  to 
you  gentlemen  that  are  somewhat  .responsible  for  my 
blunders,  and  it  is  a  great  pleasure  to  have  somebody 
to  lay  it  on.  In  the  first  place,  there  is  a  gentleman 
from  the  South,  who,  it  Is  said,  captured 
the  good-natured  man  from  Ohio,  Well,  T  can't  say 
sure  about  that.  There  may  be  something  to  it,  but 
I  thought  then  that  we  captured  him.  He  was  very 
much  m  error  during  four  years,  and  his  error  con- 
tinued up  to  last  November,  for  as  I  have  been  tell- 
ing the  audiences,  he  made  a  bad  mistake  in  voting 
azainst  ma  in  November  last ;  and  yet,  upon 
the  whole  he  seems  to  be  a  very 
honest  man,  and  that  Is  one  thing 
that  «eems  to  disturb  men  in  politics.  There  are 
many  men  who  vote  wrong.  He  has  become  better 
very  fast-  As  I  told  the  people  up  there,  that  If  you 
Keep  him  among  you  a  week  or  two  he  will  be  as 
good  a  Republican  as  you  can  fu''ni8h.  So  now  I  in- 
troduce you  to  Postmaster-Genen^  Key.  [Ap- 
plause.] 

Postmaster-General  Key  said : 

PziJ,0W-CiTizi>'3 :  The  President  of  the  United 
States  is  fortunate  in  having  some  gentlemen  upon 
whom  he  can  lay  his  errot.  I  appear  before  you  to- 
day with  some  embarassment,  I  confess.  I  remem- 
ber that  25  years  ago,  «way  down  in  Tennessee,  at 
the  town  where  1  lived— <^ttanooga— I  beard  a 
discossiou  in  regard  to  this  State,  and  I  came 
up  to  see  how  much  truth  there  was 
In  that  dist-usslon.  One  of  your  distinguished  citi- 
sens.  Gen.  Tierce,  was  then  a  candidate  for  President, 
and  among  others  I  was  a  Democrat  then  and  sup- 
ported him.  There  met  at  onr  town  an  immense 
masa-meeting  of  both  parties.  One  of  the  speakers 
advocated  the  election  of  Gen.  Scott,  and  one 
Gen.  Pienre.  The  Whig  speaker  insisted  that 
New  ■Hampshire  was  a  very  bad  State,  and  that  Gen. 
Pierce  was  resjrtnsible  for  that  state  of  affairs.  He 
•aid  they  were  religdoua  intoleranu,  and  that  by  the 
Constitution  of  ^ew-Hampshire  Roman  Catho- 
hcs  were  not  allowed  to  hold  office.  He 
went  on  to  say  that  this  was  one  .  of 
the  13  Colonies — one  of  the  original  States  of  the 
T7nion.  The  reply  of  the  Democratic  orator  was 
that  tiie  "Wiig  speaker  was  entirely  mistaken  ;  that 
New-Hampsfcore  a  name  was  New- Hampshire  :  that 
■he  was  not  one  of  the  old  Colonies,  or  one  uf 
the  old  States.  [Laughter.]  The  Postmaster  of  our 
dty  being  accounted  the  most  learned  man 
In  the  place,  was  appealed  to,  and  he 
proved  that  the  Democratic  Speaker  was 
right,  [applause,]  and  that  New-Hampshire  was  anew 
State,  and  that  satisfied  the  Democrats  and  people 
generally.  They  thought  that  as  the  Whig  speaker 
was  mistaken  in  one  thing  he  was  mistaken  in  alL 
Now,  my  friends.  I  came  up  here  expecting  to  see  aii 
old  State,  but  everywhere  I  have  seen  evidence  of 
your  thrift  and  prosperity,  and  I  am  not  sure  but 
the  Democratic  speaker  was  rieht.  You  ^aove 
like  young  men,  like  active  men,  like  men  who  are 
determined  to  work  out  a  destiny,  and  a  glorious 
"destiny  at  that.  It  is  true,  as  the  President  has 
kindly  said,  that  I  was,  down  in  mv  own  State,  sup- 
porting, to  the  best  of  my  tumble  abilities, 
the  election  of  another  to  the  Presidency  of 
the  XTnited  States ;  and  I  supnose  that  so 
man  was  more  suprised  than  I,  when  his  Elxcellency 
asked  me  to  take  a  seat  in  his  Cabinet.  I  supposed, 
my  friends — and  this  I  feel  I  ought  to  say — that  such 
a  step  might  not  hurt  me  a  great  deal,  but  it 
might  be  rain  to  him.  [Laughter.]  I  sup- 
posed the  Republican  Party  of  the  North 
would  say,         '*  What,  has        this  Presi- 

dent, whom  we  have  done  ho  much  to  elect,  gone  and 
taken  that  old  fellow  who  has  been  from  his  earliest 
infancy  a  Democrat,  and  who  in  later  d^s  was  a 
rebel,  and  taken  him  into  bis  Cabinet  I"  For  I  sup- 
posed, mv  friends^  and  I  am  serious  when  I  say  It, 
that  ul  throii^h  the  North  there  would 
h«»  a  burst  of  indienant  disapproval,  for 
it  was  certainly  unusuaL  I  have  been  gratified,  my 
friends,  to  see  that  the  greater  part  of  the  nortn 
has  accepted  that  appointment  in  a  far  different 
spirit,  and  I  have  felt  satisfied  from  the  beginning 
that  it  was  an  expression  of  the  sentiment  of  the 
people  of  the  North  that  they  were  tired 
of  this  sectional  feeling,  and  wished  it  to  be 
forever  buried-  [Cries  of  "  Good,  that's  so !  "J 
Now,  nry  friends,  these  men  from  these  States  as- 
etsted  in  establishiue  our  Government  and  our  Con- 
stitution ;  but  soon  after  wew^tftered  upon  oar  ca- 
reer of  national  greatness,  th^ffell  into  controversy 
on  the  subject  of  slavery.'  I  do  not  propose  to  enter 
into  the  reasons  of  this  controversy,  out  to  state 
to  you  that  It  is  unfortunate  that  it  ever 
existed,      and       fortunate       that       it      is       ended. 

There  are  men  at  the  South,  I  regret  to  say,  who 
have  lived  on  this  controversy,  and  are  sorry  it  Is 
ended.  There  are  people  at  the  South  who  are 
tired  of  it,  and  accept  the  Constitution  in  good  faith, 
all  of  the  Coustitntion,  with  amendments,  and  are 
willing  to  stand  bv  them,  and  die  for  them  if  neces- 
sary. [Applause.]  We  are  free  people.  Thegreat  chasm 
which  has  separated  the  North  and  the  South  has 
been  closed  forever,  and  no  slaves  exist  In  this  broad 
land  of  ours.  .This  is  a  cause  of  congratulation,  as 
much  to  the  people  of  the  Southern  States  as  to  the 
people  of  the  Xorth :  and  my  friends,  let  me  ask  you 
here,  let  me  ask  you  everywhere,  to  seek  for  qu«r- 
rela— if  quacrrels  we  must  have— elsewhere,  and  let 
those  sectional  issues  be  buried  forever.    [Applause.  ] 

The  President  next  introduced  Attorney- 
General  Devens  as  one  of  the  disting:tushed  sol- 
diers of  the  war,  and  he  was  greeted  with 
cheers,  to  which  he  responded  in  an  appropri- 
ate speech.  The  President  then  introduced 
Secretary  Evarts  as  foUows  : 

Pn*LOW-clTizzK3  :  I  hardly  Igiow  how  to  intro- 
duce my  friend  and  SeCret^Lry  of  State.  A 
very  nnfoxtonate  thing  '  happened  to  him 
this  moining.  He  lost  an  opportunity,  and  It 
Is  the  oiuy  one  d  ever  knew  him  to 
lose,  of  cracking  amdst  excellent  joke.  This  morn- 
ing I  said  to  the  citizens  of  one  of  the  towns  north  of 
here,  a  town  of  which  we' did  not  know  the  name, 
but  which  we  afterward  learned  was  Tilton,  that  I 
was  aboat  to  introduce  to  them  a  gentleman  well 
known  -in  the  United  States  as  tbe  man  who  in  the 
Beeeher-Tllton^trial  exhibited  tl^e  capacity  of  m^vi-ng 
the  longect  speech  ever  made  in  the  United  States, 
uad  I  have  the  honor  of  introdtunng  to  you  the  See- 
retaiy  of  Stata  of  the  United  States.     [Applause.] 

Secretary  Evarts  said : 

I  am,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  so  much  al  home  in

(uident  historians — has  said  that  war  ends  well  only

The  President  and  party  then  took  carriages, 
and  were  taken  by  the  Dty  Govemmimt  for  a 
drive  about  town.  v' 

The  party  visited  St-  Paul's  School^  inspected 
the  buildings,  and  walked  over  the  grounds. 
On  returning  they  dined  with  ex-Gov.  Steams, 
whose  house  was  illuminated  and  elaborately 
decorated.  The  dining  party  consisted  of  Prei- 
dent  Hayes  and  Mrs.  Hayes,  Miss  Foote, 
Vice-President  Wheeler,  Secretay  Evaits, 
and  two  daa^ters,  Miss  Noyes,  Attorney-Gen-

Mrs.  Prescott,  Major  Pillsbury  and  wife,  and 
ex-Gov.  Steams  and  family.  At  8:30  o'clock  are- 
ception  took  place  at  White's  Opera-house,  which 
occupied  about  an  hotir  and  three-quarters, 
and  during  which  some  3.500  people  visited  the 
Opera-house  to  shake  hands  with  and  be  intro- 
duced to  the  President,  Mrs,  Hayes,  and  the 
Presidential  party.  As  the  reception  was  draw-

President  Hayes,  who  spoke  as  fohowa  :

would  like  to  hear,  and  I  assure  vou  they  have  the 
same  capacity  for  brevity  which  I  have  exhibited.  I 
have  the  pleasure  of  introducing  the  Vice-President 
of  the  United  States. 

Vice-President  Wheeler  said  : 

Mr.  Mayor,  Laoies.  and  GssTLEirBN :  A  call 
upon  the  Vice-President  in  the  presence  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  seems  to  me  hardly  to  be 
in  order.  The  whole  theory  of  the  office  of  Vice- 
President  is,  except  in  the  mere  matter  of  presiding 
over  the  Senate  of  the  United  States  while  in  ses- 
sion, that  he  is  to  act  in  the  place  of  the  President. 

President  Hayes,  intemapting — I  wish  you  had 
been  in  my  place  for  the  last  hour.     [Laughter.] 

He  needs  no  substitute,  gentlemen,  here  or  else- 
where. He  has  already  demonstrated  to  the  satis- 
faction of  the  people  of  the  States  his  ca- 
pacity as  the  official  head  of  the  nation,  [ap- 
plause,] with  firmness  and  patriotism  faithfully 
meeting  every  duty  devolving  on  him,  and  with  the 
simple  ambition  to  make  the  American  ^name 
throughout  the  world  the  representative  of  freedom. 
honesty,  peace,  and  unity.  [Avplause.]  Sprung  from 
New-England  towns  he  inherited  the  patriot- 
ism which  your  John  Stark  took  to  the 
field  of  Bennington  100  years  ago,  [ap- 
plause. ]  and  its  fruitage  shall  be  seen  In 
an  adminintration  which  shall  be  marked  in  the  fu- 
ture of  the  country  as  an  epoch  of  bi^h  advancement 
in  the  arts  of  true  and  ^ust  Government.  [Applause.] 
As  for  the  Vice-President,  he  Is  in  full  accord 
with  the  President  In  these  high  purposes. 
[Applause.]  Hia  highest  iboast.  too,  is'  that  he 
is  of  good  old  Xew-England  stock.  He 
trusts  that  he  has  inherited  something  uf  its  pa- 
triotism and  something  of  the  principles  which  have 
placed  this  nation  in  the  van  of  nations  and  which  by 
the  help  of  God  shall  lift  up  into  the  eyes  of  the 
world  the  standard  of  true  enlighteumeut  and  free 
Government.

THE    ^^ATIO^'AL    BOARD    OF   TRADE. 


BESOLUTIOXS  UEGIXO  THE  AMEKDMEKT  OF 
THE  NAVIGATION  LAWS  ADOPTED — 
"WEIGHTS  AND  DUTIES — A  PROPOSED 
CHANGE  IN  THE  IMMEDIATE  TRAKSPOB- 
TATION  ACT. 

Milwaukee,  Wis.,  Aug.  22. — The  Na- 
tional Board  of  Trade  reassembled  at  10  o'clock 
this  morning.  A  motion  was  adopted  for  the 
admission  of  delegates  accredited  to  the  Board 
of  Trade  of  Portland,  Oregon.  Debate  was  re- 
sumed on  the  resolutions  introduced  by  Mr. 
Hills,  of  Boston,  as  follows  : 

Retoived,  That,  in  the  judgment  of  the  National 
Board  of  Trade,  the  Navigation  laws  of  the  United 
States, which  forbid  registration  underthe  American 
flag  to  foreign  citizens,  have  net  only  failed  to  yield 
the  advantages  expected  from  them  to  the  American 
ship-building  class,  for  whose  benefit  they  were  de- 
vised, but  have  also  contributed  to  the  serious  de- 
cline and  almost  threatened  extinction  of  the  Amer- 
can  ship-owning  interest  and  the  ocean  carrying 
trade  of  the-United  States. 

RcMolved, —  That  the  immediate  repeal  of  these 
laws,  by  giving  encouragement  to  American  citizens 
to  become  ship-owners  and  to  engage  in  the  com- 
merce of  the  country,  would  conduce  also  to  the  per- 
manent prosperity  of  the  shipbuilders  of  the  United 
States.  .  '■■ 

JUtolvedL,  That  the  immediate  repeal  of  these  laws 
would  offer  the  best  inducement  which  the  Govern- 
ment conld  hold^^ut  to  American  citizens  to  enter 
into  comnetition  with  the  citizens  of  other  countries 
for  a  proper  share  of  the  vast  steam  traflSc  of  the  At- 
lantic Ocean,  now  carried  on  almost  exclusively 
under  other  flags  than  onr  own. 

JUMolced.  %rhat  when  the  Customs  tariif  of  the 
United  States  comes  before  Congress  for  considera- 
tion an<^evision  care  should  be  taken  that  the  ship- 
builder is  placed  on  as  favorable  a  footing  as  practi- 
cable in  the  importation  of  such  materials  as  it  is 
necessary  for  him  to  procure  from  abroad. 

The  resolutions  were  discussed  by  Mr.  Weth- 
erell.  of  Philadelphia  ;  Mr.  Dorr,  of  Buffalo  ; 
air.  Freeman,  of  Detroit ;  Mr.  Snow,  of  New- 
York  ;  Mr.  Hoffman,  of  Philadelphia ;  Mr. 
Johnston,  of  Milwaukee  ;  Jlri  Winson.  of  Phila- 
delphia ;  Mr.  Ropes,  of  Boston  ;  Mr.  Bayard,  of 
Baltimore ;  Mr.  Buchanan,  of  Trenton  ;  Mr. 
Hayes,  of  Detroit ;  Mr.  Montgomery,  of  Port- 
land, Oregon,  and  Mr.  £agan,  of 
Chicago.  An  amendment,  as  foUows ; 
•*  That  the  Navigation  laws  should  be  so  amend- 
ed as  to  allow  the  registration  of  ships  built 
abroad  and  owned  by  citizens  of  the  United 
States,  upon  the  payment  of  the  proper  tariff 
of  duties  thereon,  was  voted  down — 16  to  16. 
The  last  resolution  was  stricken  out,  and  the 
others  adopted  by  a  vote  of  '24  to  9. 

The  Baiuirupt  law,  being  the  next  subject  on 
the  progranune,  was  referred  to  a  select  com- 
mittee consisting  of  Messrs.  Allen,  of  Milwau- 
kee ;  Barron,  of  New-York,  and  Allen,  of  Phila- 
delphia. 

All  the  resolutions  concerning  the  currency 
and  finance  were  referred  to .  a  special  commit- 
tee, consisting  of  Messrs.  Taylor,  of  Cincinnati ; 
Strauahan,  oi  New-York;  Winson.  of  Philadel- 
phia; Ropes,  of  Boston;  Counselman,  of  Chi- 
cago ;  Johnston,  of  Milwaukee  .Bayard,  of  Bal- 
timore ;  Dorr,  of  Buffalo,  and  Raymond,  of  De- 
troit. 

A  resolution  submitted  by  the  Milwaukee 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  proposing  to  establish  a 
standard  weight  for  the  bushel,  was  amended 
so  as  to  reconmiend  Congress  to  adopt  a  uniform 
table  of  weights  for  the  wlujle  country,  and 
adopted.  A  resolution  w^  also  adopted  in 
faror  of  specific  instead  of  ad  valorem  duties. 

The  following  resolution^  submitted  by  the 
Philadelphia  Board  of  Tride,  was  adopted,  the 
delegates  from  New-York,  only  voting  in  the 
negative :  ^  ~'     "S. 

Wherttu,  Thelsrovisicnw  of  the  I^xaediate  Trans- 
portation act  require  the  consignee  or  his  agent  to 
give  bonds  for  double  the  ambunt  of  invoice,  with 
duty  added,  not^e^my  at  tbe  point  of  destination,  but 
aL^  at  the  p^t  of  hrst  arrival ;  and 

'WheTe€it/T)i6  transportation  companies  are  all  re- 
quired bv  said  act  to  so  bond  their  respective  roads 
s«  Co  fully  secure  the  points  named,  and  thus  render 
the  bond  at  the  port  of  flrst  arrival  unnecessary; 
therefore, 

lUtolved,  That  the  Philadelphia  Board  of  Trade  re- 
quests the  National  Board  of  Trade  to  memorialize 
Congress  to  so  amend  the  Inmiediate  Transportation 
act,  passed  Jtily  14,  1870.  as  to  repeal  that  part  of 
zequires  the  consignee  or  hisagent  to  execute  a  bond 
at  the  port  of  first  arrival,  as  spedfLed  in  sections  29 
and  30  of  said  act. 

The  board  then  adjourned  until  to-morrow. 

EARTSqVAXE  IN  MICSIGAK. 
The  Detroit  J^ee  J^ess  of  Sunday  says : 
**  Bepresentative  Myron  Coon,  who  resides  in  Green- 
field, in  this  countj-,  says  that  Friday  forenoon, 
about  1 1  o'clock,  while  sitting  in  the  Post  Office  in 
that  township,  a  noise  was  heard  resembling  distant 
thonder.  The  house  shook  and  the  windows  rattled 
so  that  the  occupants  believed  that  a  heavy  storm 
had  arisen.  On  going  out  of  doors  the  sky  was  ob- 
served to  be  perfectly  clear,  and  not  a  breath  of  air 
was  BtirTing,  but  trees  and  small  plants  oscillated  as 
if  tossed  by  the  wind.  Mr.  Coon  says  the  people 
were  at  a  loss  to  account  for  the  phenomenon,  and  at 
first  concluded  that  some  heavy  explosion  had  taken 
place  in  the  city  or  in  the  neighborhood.  When  they 
could  receive  no  account  of  such  an  aeddeut,  they 
came  to  the  eonclualon  that  it  waa  an  earthquake 
that  shook  them  up."

ViNELAUD,  N.  J.,  Aug.  22. — ^Everything 
goes  to  show  that  the  charges  of  deliberate 
falsehood  made  against  Father  Vivet  in  the 
dispatch  sent  to  The  Times  from  this  place  on 
Monday  were  not  couched  in  too  strong  lan- 
guage or  based  npon  mere  supposition.  As 
stated  at  that  time,  the  report  was 
current  that  there  was  a  money  consideration 
which  had  great  weight  in  the  matter,  and  I 
have  succeeded  in  doTeloping  certain  facts  to- 
day that  prove  beyond  reasonable  doubt  the 
substantial  accuracy  of  the  statement. 
In  the  light  of  these  new  developments 
it  is  easy  to  see  how  Father  Vlvet 
overcame  his  objections  to  administering  the 
sacrament  to  Gregory  on  his  death  bed  and  hia 
scruples  to  allowing  him  to  die  reconciled  with 
the  Church.  It  will  be  remembered  that,  when 
first  requested  to  attend  upon  Gregory  in  hia 
priestly  capacity,  Vivet  peremptorily  refused, 
because,  as  he  claimed,  the  man  was  *  not  a 
good  Catholic,  and  because,  moreover,  his  life 
and  the  business  in  which  he  had  been  pre- 
viously engaged  had  not  been  such  as  to  entitle 
him  to  burial  in  consecrated  ground.  Despite 
hia  decisive  objecLion  he  consented  at  last  to 
heed  the  request  of  his  dying  applicant  and  his 
anxious  wife,  who  dreaded  most  of 
all  to  have  her  husband  die  without  tbe  pale  of 
the  Church.  The  arguments  which  prevailed 
over  his  resolution  appear  to  have  been  of  the 
most  persuasive  kind.  Previous  to  the  trans- 
action to  which  allusion  is  me^e,  Mrs. 
Gregory  told  a  neighbor  that  it  was  the 
intention  of  her  husband  to  pay  the  priest  the 
sum  of  $100,  but  later  she  intimated  that  the 
compensation  of  the  priest  for  performing  the 
needful  service  of  getting  Gregory's  soul  through 
purgatory  amounted  to  considerable  more  than 
that  amount.  She  hinted  at  the  transfer  of  cer- 
tain property  in  the  City  of  Newark. 

Following  out  the  clue  thug  gained,  I  have 
di^overed  that,  about  the  time  when  Mrs. 
Gregory  made  statements  to  this  effect,  the 
deed  transferring  this  property  for  a  merelv 
noiuinal  sum  to  the  priest  was  acknowl- 
egpd  before  Mr.  James'  Loughran.  Justice 
otf  the  Peace  in  this  township,  and 
iflany  more  evidence  were  needed  of  the  truth 
onthe  matter  it  is  furnished  by  the  priest  him- 
self. Last  Sunday,  in  the  presence  of  his  con- 
gregation, referring  to  the  debt  upon  the 
church  edifice,  he  said  that  if  he  chose 
he  could  now  liquidate  it  all,  as 
he  had .  in  his  possession  a  lot 
of  land  In  Newark  lately  deviseti  to  him  which 
he  could  dispose  of  for  a  sufficient  sura  to  cover 
the  whole  indebtedness.  Under  the  circum- 
stances' it  is  no  great  trouble  to  find 
a  reason  for  the  priest's  willingness  to 
condone  Gregory's  previous  "HSglect  to  pay 
due  respect  to  tlie  regulations  of  his  church. 
In  reference  to  the  disposal  of  lots  in  the  ceme- 
tery the  well-establisheil  rule  seems  to  have 
been  *'  first  come,  first  served."  When  applica- 
tion was  made  to  Mr.  John  Moran,  a  Trustee  of 
the  Catholic  Church.  for  the  right 
to  bury  Joseph  Maggloli  in  the  cemetery,  he 
made  certain  inouiries  of  the  applicant,  and 
then  gave  him  certain  directions,  saying  there 
could  be  no  possible  trouble  about  'bis  inter- 
ment. His  directions  were  to  go  to  a  certain 
part  of  the  burial-plot  and  dig  the  grave 
a  specified  distance  from  the  line 
dividing  the  cemetery  from  adjoining  property, 
and  a  specific  distance  from  the  "  last"  grave  in 
the  row  of  graves  running  parallel  to  the  line  of 
division.  Now,  it  is  evident  from  certain  cir- 
cumstances, that  Mr.  Moran  had  something 
more  than  a  general  idea  whose  that  "  last" 
grave  was.  The  last  burial  lot  in  the  line 
before  that  of  Gregory  was  one  of  some  size, 
not  wholly  occupied  with  graves  as  yet.  hut  by 
some  arrangement  reserved,  and  the  distance 
from  the  last  grave  in  this  reserved  space 
to  the  grave  of  Gregory  is  more  than 
10  feet.  The  distance  as  specified  by  Mr. 
Moran  at  which  Maggioll's  grave  must  be  dug 
from  the  "  last"  grave  was  considerablv  less 
than  this,  less  by  eight  feet  at  least,  and  it  is, 
therefore,  clear  that  Mr,  Moran  knew  what  he 
was  talking  about.  Now,  the  cemetery  has  not 
at  the  preseut  date  been  set  off  into  lots,  and 
except  in  unusual  ca-ses.  in  giving  an  order  to 
dig  a  grave  tbe  Instructions  are,  *'  Dig  so  far 
from  tbe  outside  lineof  the  cemetery,  and  so  far 
from  the  last  grave  dug,"  and  the  persons  who  re- 
ceived the  order  in  Maggioli's  case  and  had  cb  arge 
of  opening  the  grave  state,  without  hesitation, 
that  even  if  there  had  been  other  craves  dug 
during  the  interval  that  elapsed  betweea  the  ap- 
plication for  the  right  to  bury  Maggioli  and  th<> 
digging  of  the  grave,  (a  whole  day,)  understand- 
ing  Mr.  Moran's  order  as  they  did,  they  would 
stul  have  dug  a  specified  distance  from  the 
"last  "grave.        • 

I  interviewed  Mrs.  Gregory  again  to-day  in 
order  to  get  at  the  bottom  facts  in  this  case. 
When  her  husband  died  she  saw  the  priest 
herself  in  reference  to  his  interment.  She  did 
not  go  to  the  ceiuetery  to  select  a  place  for 
his  burial,  but  left  that  matter  wholly  with 
Father  Vivet.  He  located  the  lot  as  he  saw  fit, 
and  the  whole  tenor  of  her  conversation  helped 
to  convince  me  that  she  never  made  applica- 
tion to  the  priest  except  for  a  burial 
place  for  her — ^i^sband.  Most  certainly 
she  has  never  paW^^for,  -  but  one  lot. 
The  amount  paid  to  Johinioran  by  Joseph 
Sauguinetts_/Tor  the  right  to  bury  Joseph 
MaggioILy  Was  $5 ;  I  understand  unon 
the  best  authority  that  that  is  the  cost 
of  a  tingle  bunal  lot  to  Catholics  in 
full  fellowship,  as  fixed  by  the  charter 
of  the  cemetery.  To-day  Mrs.  Gregory  stated 
plainly  and  emphatically  that  she  paid  $5  for 
her  lot  or  lots.  What  more  than  this  statement 
of  hers  is  needed  to  prove  that  her  right  and 
title  covers  but  one  lot  T  More  than  this,  she 
said  that  she  had  in  her  possession  no  receipt, 
paper,  or  document  from  Father  Vivet  or 
anv  one  else  to  show  that  she  had  bought  even 
one  lot,  and  that  she  never  bad.  AU  she  would 
say  was  that  she  paid  the  priest  $5  for  the  lot 
and  a  fee  of  $3  for  opening  the  grave. 

OOOD  PIGEON  MATCH. 

The  Fnrroan's  Island  Shooting  Club  shot  their 
anniud  pigeon  match  at  Primrose's,  on  the  Island, 
yesterday,  for  the  championship  of  the  clob.  The 
KTOoads  are  on  Newtown  Creek,  near  the  Maspeth 
Bridge,  and  a  large  attendance  wltnas.<ied  the  shoot- 
ing. The  badge  was  won  by  Mr.  F.  Morgan  after  an 
exciting  match,  though  the  birds,  through  the  extreme 
head,  seemed  adverse  Id  rising,  and  in  most  instances 
were  driven  up.  Four  tics  of  nine  birds  each  show 
the  qualities  of  the  memhers  as  marksmen.  And  the 
winner  shot  his  three  birds  in  decidlnz  the  tie. 

The  terms  of    the    match  were  10  birds    each,  21 

Jards  rise,  80  yards  bounds,  first  barrel  to  kill  un-

A  CVBIOVS  GROUP  OF  SOCKS.  / 
The  Virginia  (Nev.)  EnUrfnu  contains  this 
description  of  some  curious  natural  formations; 
"  On  the  ridge  between  Mount  Ophir  and  Nevada 
Hill,  the  flrafe  and  second  monntain  peaks  north  of 
Mount  Davidson,  Is  a  ragged  and  picturesque  group 
of  rocks  standing  some  30  or  40  feet  above  the  gen- 
eral surface.  Abont  sundown  and  after,  daring  twi- 
light, thesa  rocks  are  distinctly  ontlinad  against  tbe 
western  sky,  and,  seen  from  the  north  end  of  the 
platform  of  the  freight  depot  oz  the  south  end  of  the 
^trestle-work  bridge  leading  to  the  Ophlr,  present  the 
appearance  of  a  groap  of  Indians.  The  moat  prom- 
inent figure  of  the  group  is  one  that  resembles  a 
sqoaw  standinjr  with  hantts  uplifted  above  the  heads 
ot  a  number  of  little  Injtuis,  squatted  and  kneeling 
about  her.  We  admit  that,  like  most  other  ob- 
jects of  that  nattue,  some  httle  exercise  of 
the  imagination  Is  required  In  order  to 
bring  out  the  details  of  the  group ;  but  the  squaw 
holdutgupher  hands  is  plainly  to  be  seen— is  much 
more  readily  recogoized  than  the  features  of  Shake- 
speaz«  on  the  face  of  the  bis  rock  np  at  Lake  Taho*. 
'Die  best  thing  of  the  kind  In  ths  country,  however, 
is  the  bust  of  Washington,  situated  on  the  road 
leadingfrom  the  Whitman  mine,  Ealmyra  district,  to 
the  old  town  of  Como.  Whan  this  was  first  dlseov-

BROOK  —  CHIW-JU8TICK  WAITE  AND 
OTHER  DISTIKQUISHEO  PERSONS  IN  AT- 
TENDANCE— THE  HISTORY  OP  THE  SEL- 
DEN  FAMILY.

Old  Saybbook,  Conn.,  Aug.  22.— At  last 
the  clans  of  Selden  have  been  gathered  to- 
gether. A  vigorous  but  ineffectual  effort  was 
made  last  year  to  have  a  reunion  of  the  descend- 
ants of  Thomas  Selden,  for  it  waa  thought  that 
the  hundredth  anniversary  of  tbe  Republic  waa 
a  fitting  occasion  for  such  a  meeting  of  the 
members  of  a  family  who  did  so  much  to  form 
and  to  protect  it.  But  this  year  the  efforts  of 
the  Connecticut  Seldens  were  successful,  and 
tc^dsy  many  members  of  the  Selden 
family  and  persons  related  to  it  by 
r  marriage  assembled  in  Fenwick  Grove, 
adjoining  the  grounds  of  Fenwick  Hall,  and 
sittiated  upon  a  little  peninsula,  with  the  main 
body  of  the  Sound  lying  on  the  west  and  south, 
and  an  extensive  cove  adjacent  to  the  mouth  of 
the  Connecticut  River  on  the  east.  The  grove 
is  fitted  up  with  stands  and  sheds,  and  as  early 
aa  9  o'clock  this  morning  at  least  100  persons, 
Seldens  for  the  most  part,  were  gathered  to- 
gether on  tbe  main  platform,  unraveling,  as 
well  as  they  could,  theTr~tles-Qj_£elationshlp  ; 
while  youthful  Seldens  amused  themselves  on 
the  swings  and  "  merry-go-rounds."  Two 
heavily-laden  traina  on  the  Connecticut  Valley 
Railroad  brought  additional  members  of  the 
family  to  th^  grounds  during  the  morning,  and 
many  others  came  in  private  vehicles,  on 
horseback,  and  on  foot.  Before  the  exei^ 
cises  of  the  day  were  begun,  fully  500 
persons  were  seated  upon  the  platform.. 
There  were  Seldens  from  New- York,  Cincin- 
nati, and  Philadelphia,  as  well  as  from  the 
towns  in  the  neighborhood  of  Uld  Saybrook,  the 
great  strongholds  of  the  Selden  family,  such  as 
East  Haddam  and  Haddam  Neck,  Lyme,  where 
Chief-Juatice  Waite  was  bom,  and  Hadlyme. 
The  Norwich  Seldens  and  the  members  of  the 
family  in  Hartford  and  other  Connecticut  cities 
were  also  well  represented.  The  Chief -Justice 
and  Mrs.  Waite  arrived  from  Lyme  in  their 
family  carriage  soon  after  11  o'clock,  and  the 
Judge,  as  the  most  prominent  representative  of 
the  family,  speedily  became  the  centre  of  a 
large  circle. 

The  Selden  family  can  ti^ce  their 
pedigree  hack  to  the  days  of  John  Selden,  the 
jurist,  contemporary  with  Shakespeare,  and 
member  of  the  Long  Parliament,  who,  however, 
never  married.  Aa  Kev.  Lyman  Woolsey  Ba- 
con remarked  this  morning  to  a  Times  reporter, 
he  would  have  been  a  forefather  of  all  the 
Seldens  if  he  had  married ;  and  so  the  Sel- 
dens console  themselves.  The  original  Ameri- 
can Selden  was  Thomas,  a  relative  of  John 
.Selden,  who.  with  about  100  others,  emi- 
grated to  the  American  colonies  in  ltj3*), 
settling  in  New-England ;  he  died  in 
lUo5,  leaving  three  sous  and  a  number 
of  daughters.  His  widow  married  Andrew 
Warner,  of  Hadley,  and  thus  the  Warners, 
a  family  to  which  Seth  Warner,  the  hero  of 
Stony  Point,  belonged,  are  closelylrelated  to  the 
Seldens.  The  descendants  of  'rhomas  Selden 
constitute  the  largest  branch  of  the  family.ln 
America ;  there  are  two  other  branches,  how- 
ever, in  Pennsylvania  and  in  Virginia,  and  Mr. 
Henry  M.  Selden,  in  the  "Historical  Sketch" 
which  he  read  to-day,  established  the  fact,  to  the 
satisfaction  of  all  present,  that  George  Washing- 
ton was  related  to  the  last-named  branch. 
Chief-Justice  Waite  showed  to  The  Timer  re- 
porter the  original  deeds  conveying  the  Selden 
proDcrty.  on  Twelve-Mile  Island,  near  Chester, 
in  tlie  Connecticut  Kiver,  the  title  of  which  can 
be  traced  to  the  time  of  Lord  Say-and  Seal, 
when  it  was  held  by  Master  Fenwick,  the  hus- 
band of  Lady  Fenwick.  the  first  woman  of 
English  birth  who  died  in  the  Colonies.  It  passed, 
upon  the  death  of  Fenwick,  into  the  hands 
of  Master  Cullick,  who  married  a  sister  of  Fen- 
wick, and  by  him  it  was  conveyed,  in  1661,  to 
John  Leverett.  who,  as  the  Judge  thinks,  was 
the  Captain  of  the  vessel  sent  to  aid  the  English 
settlers  in  New- York  during  their  troubles  with 
the  Dutch.  From  the  descendants  of  Leverett  it 
was  obtained  in  1(395  by  the  Scidens.  and  has  re- 
mained ever  since  in  the  possession  of  the  family. 
The  yuUow  old  parchments,  dated  away  back  in 
the  seventeenth  ceuturj-,  are  curious  and  valu- 
able relics,  which  are  carefully  treasured  by  the 
holders  of  the  estate.  Many  prominent  men  of 
this  and  the  last  generation  are  claimed  as  mem- 
bers of  the  Seldea  family ;  notablv  the  late 
Judge  Samuel  Lee  Selden.  of  Syracuse,  and 
Judge  H.  U.  Selden,  of  Rochester ;  Dudley  Selden, 
a  Connecticut  Kepresentative  in  Congress  ;  Gen. 
McDowell,  who  married  into  the  Selden  family  ; 
President  Eliphalet  Nott,  and  Dr.  Samuel  Nott, 
of  Union  College,  •  and,  by  marriage,  Gen. 
Lewis  Cass,  of  Michigan.  Hon.  Lyman  Trum- 
bull's grandmother  waa  a  Selden,  and  Judge 
Waite  and  Mrs.  Waite  are  both  Igreat-grand- 
children  of  the  old  warrior.  Col.  Selden.  who. 
in  his  turn,  was  a  grandson  of  Gov.  Dudley,  of 
the  Muss;ichusett8  Colony.  Senator  Trumbull 
was  present  at  to-day's  festival,  although  he 
kept  himself  In  tbe  background  ;  and  among 
the  other  members  of  the  family  present  were 
Col.  Joseph  Selden.  of  Norwich,  and  Rev. 
Leonard  Woolsey  Bacon,  of  New-Haven. 

At  noon  the  meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
Col.  Selden,  of  Norwich,  who,  addressing  his 
audience  as  "my  cousins,"  introduced  Chief- 
Juatice  Waite.  After  a  prayer  by  Rev.  Edward 
G.  Selden,  of  Manchester,  N.  H.,  Dr.  Bacon's 
hymn, 

"  O  God,  beneath  thy  guiding  hand. 
Our  exiled  fathers  crossed  the  sea" 

was  sung  under  the  leadership  of  his  son,  Rev. 
L.  W.  Bacon,  and  then  Mr.  Henry  M.  Selden,  of 
Haddam  Neck,  Conn.,  read  an  exhaustive 
genealogy  of  the  family.  During  the  read- 
ing a  pleasing  and  noteworthy  incident  oc- 
curred. Mr.  Selden  was  relating  how  an  in- 
trepid female  ance.stor  armed  herself  to  protect . 
her  children  in  the  dark  days  of  colonial  war- 
fare, when  Mrs.  Abner  C.  Ely,  of  New- York, 
rising,  exclaimed.  "  That  was  my  grandmother, 
and  my  mother  was  in  the  house  at  the 
time."  Bev.  Theodore  T.  Munser,  of 
East  Hartford,  read  a  paper  on  John 
Selden,  the  jurist,  whose  portrait  may  be 
seen  in  Faed's  picture  of  "Shakespeare  and 
his  Friends,"  and  whose  statue  has  a  niche  in  the 
Parliamentary  houses  in  Loudon.  _  The  Chief- 
Justice  presented  in  a  few  words  the  records  al- 
ready described  ;  and  the  succeeding  addresses 
were  delivered  by  H.  P.  Johnston,  of  New-York  ; 
Rev.  W.  D.  Morton,  of  Hartford,  who  spake  of 
Deborah  Selden,  the  mother  of  Eliphalet  Nott  ; 
Prof.  Eaton,  of  Yale  CoUege,  who  told  of  the 
life  of  his  mother,  Elizabeth  Selden,  and  Rev. 
Frederick  Munson,  of  Haddam  Neck,  who  read 
an  account  of  Rev.  DaKii  Selden.  After  the 
speech-making  the  dining-tables  were  sur- 
rotmded  by  hungry  and  thirsty  Seldens.  At  4 
o'clock  the  clans  once  more  separated,  and  de- 
parted for  their  many  homes. 


AMUSEMENTS. 


A  VERMONT  TROXjT  STORT. 
A  correspondent  of  the  Boston  Jom-naXf  writ- 
ing from  Woodstock.  Vt.,  tells  the  following  itory  : 
"  Abont  25  years  since,  when  fishing  in  a  small  stream 
in  the  town  of  Plymouth,  Vt.,  with  a  friend  of 
mine,  we  came  to  s  saw-mill  pond  where  the  water 
was  abont  foor  feet  deep,  and  very  clear  and  still, 
with  the  snn  shiniiig>bright.    We  discovered  a  large 

school  of  tront  on  tbe  bottom  of  the  pond,  apparently 
perfectly  dormant.  With  a  good  degree  or  caution 
we  dropped  our  well-baited  hooka  down  to  them. 
They  did  not  api>ear  to  take  any  notice  of  it,  or  of  us, 
who  -were  so  anxiously  waiting  for  a  bite  with  all  the 
a^udety  only  known  to  those  who  are  accustomed  to 
that  kind  of  snort.  We  tried  to  indtice  them  in 
every  imaginable  way  to  notice  the  bait  for  about 
an  hour,  but  to  no  effect.  When  patience  ceased  t4i 
be  a  virtue,  I  noticed  there  "was  one  apart  from  the 
rest,  of  good  size.  I  determlmed  to  try  an  e^roerlment 
with  him  by  awakening  him.  I  dropped  uie  hook 
and  sinker  directly  upon  him.  He  started  oft  about 
six  feet,  when  he  turned  around  and  came  back  with 
great  eagerness  and  took  the  book  and  I  hauled  him 
out,  a  fine  tront  of  about  twelve  ounces.  We  then 
came  to  the  undoubted  conclusion  that  they  were  all 
aaleep.  We  eonttn-oed  the  same  experiment  with 
each  nsh  until  we  caught  almost  the  enUre  school,  to 
the  amount  of  six  or  eight  pounds."

BROADWAY  THEATRE. 
The  house  known  a  few  months  ago  as  Wood's 
Museum,  and  now  rechristened  as  above,  was  opened 
to  the  pablie  for  the  season  yesterday  evening.  In- 
cidents of  this  aort  are  habitually  considered  as  In- 
teresting, and  the  attractiveness  of  lant 
night's  nienniU  was  heightened  by  the  fact 
that  the  occasion  was  farther  to  make 
known  a  new  plar,  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  Joaqtdn 
Miller.  The  piece  acted  during  the  evening  is  called 
"The  Banites,"  audita  five  acts  rehearse  a  story  of 
life  in  California,  carried  on  by  personages  intended 
to  be  distinctly  original  and  racy  of  the  soil.  It  may 
as  well  be  declared  at  once  that  we  would  a  great 
deal  rather,  read  a  romance  fotmded  npon  the 
Inddenta  Mr.  Miller  has  used  for  his  play  than 
submit  to  frequent  representations  of  the  gentle- 
man's dramatic  works.  There  may  be  some  truth  in 
the  trite  z^yivi^poeta  naseitur,  nfmJU,  but  a  proverb 
in  respect  of  playwrights,  asserting  the  very  reverse, 
could  be  depended  upon.  "  The  Danitee  "  is  the  au- 
thor's maiden  effort,  and  the  announcement  that  it  is 
should,  .therefore,  be  held  as  equivalent  to  a  plea 
for  indulgence.  The  play  needs  it.  Aa  an  actine 
piece  it  contains  much  that  is  obscure  and  tedious, 
and,  in  all  essential  points,  it  is  aa  improbable 
as  a  tale  from  "  The  Arabian  Nights."  A 
writer  for  the  stage  may  be  forgiven  for  the 
unlikelihood  of  hia  narrative,  but  It  is  only 
by  the  consummate  skill  shown  in  handling  his  ma- 
terial and  rendering  it  effective  that  he  can  secure 
•  forgiveness.  Obscurity  and  tedlousness,  on  the 
other  hand,  are  unpardonable.  And  in  Mr. 
Miller's  "  Danites"  both  prevail,  while  the  poet's 
lack  of  familiarity  with  tbe  dramatist's  technique 
dceeps  him  from  disguising,  for  10  consecutive  min- 
utes, the  improbability — ^not  to  say  impossibility — 
of  the  events  he  relates.  We  shall  not  seek  to  de- 
scribe them  at  length,  though  a  hasty  out- 
line of  the  plot  they  constitute  may  be 
sketched.  Previous  to  the  beginning  of  the 
drama,  "The  Danites,"  an  offshoot  of  Mormondom, 
who,  as  an  oiganized  bodv,  combine  religion,  murder, 
and  rapine  in  their  every-day  life,  have  slaughtered 
the  Williams'  family,  with  the  exception  of  Nancy 
WiUiaTns  and  Georgie,  a  seven-year  old  child.  Two  of 
the  "  Danites  "  track  the  fugitives  to  a  miners'  camp 
situated  at  the  foot  of  the  Sierra  Kevada.  Here  they 
lie  in  wait  for  them,  and.  as  supposed  at  the  time, 
kill  them  and  hurl  their  bodies  into  the 
depths  of  a  convenient  abyss.  After-scenes 
disclose  that  tbe  murderers'  last  crime  has  failed 
of  success.  Georgie  does  not  reappear,  but  Is  heard 
from  through  the  post,  in  the  final  tableau,  and  Nancy, 
in  the  garb  of  a  boy,  and  bearing  the  euphonious 
name  of  Hillj/  Piper,  wanders  through  the  piece  and 
fllbi  the  principal  part  in  what  Is  really  the  main  epi- 
sode of  the  drama  Huidah  Srown,  a  comely  school- 
mistress, comes  to  the  camp,  and  atrsightway  all  the 
miners  fall  in  love  with  her.  She  conceives  a  stmng 
liidng  for  Rillie  Piper,  but  Alexander  ifeOec  wins  her 
hand.  Just  before  tbe  marrlase  she  discovers  Ril- 
Ue's  ser,  and,  naturally,  allows  the  myste- 
rious personaee  many  agreeable  privileges 
which  McGee'g  jealous  companions  observe,  and 
do  nut  neglect  turning  to  profit  when'  opportunity 
arises.  In  dae  season,  they  awaken  McGet'a  jealousy 
and  almost  determine  him  to  join  them  in  ^Teaking 
revenge  upon  BiUU.  The  two  "  Danites  "  wlio  rep- 
resent that  worthy  band  and  roam  about  like  tbe 
tliree  anabaptists  in  "  The  Prophet,"  have  found 
out  that  BQIU  is  none  other  than  Nan»y  Wil- 
liajtis,  and  join  iitsue  with  tbe  enraged  camp. 
Jast  in  the  nick  of  time,  however.  McOee  de- 
termines to  give  his  confidence  anew  to  JiilKe.  and 
it  suddenly  dawns  upon  him  that  tbe  two  loudest 
leaders  of  the  mub  aiv  ripe  for  the  gallows.  About 
30  seconds'  reflection  suggests  to  the  miners  that 
they  had  better  hang  these  worthies  than  molest 
BUiic,  and,  while  they  depart  on  this  labor  of  love, 
the  persocuted  damsel  resumes  her  cast-off  garb  and 
is  restored  to  perfect  happiness  by  the  punishment  of 
the  "Danites"  and  the  receipt  of  tidings  of  the 
well-being  of  her  long-lost  brother.  All  this  is  not 
so  bad,  but  a  bearing  of  the  drama  does 
not  make  plain  its  story  with  'desirable 
promptness  or  clearness.  Tlie  piece  is  wanting,  too, 
In  action,  and  three  of  the  five  acts  have  feeble  ter- 
minations. Nor  is  the  work  particularly  character- 
istic As  we  said  of  "Ah  Sin,"  the  scene  of  "The 
Danites  "  might  be  shifted  to  any  land  where  rough 
and  honest  personages  could  be  met,  and  the 
slangy  language  put  upon  the  lips  of  the 
characters  is  hardly  expressive  or  original 
enough  to  be  worth  pre8er\*ing.  Yet  the 
language  of  "  The  Danites"  is  iu  worthiest  element. 
There  Is  too  much  of  it,  and  many  passages  of  the 
piece  in  which  the  name  of  the  Deity  occurs  again 
and  again,  and  two  or  throe  singularly  coarse  pleas- 
antries in  act  fourth,  ought  to  be  excised,  but, 
as  a  whole,  the  work  Is  written  with  excep- 
tional purity  a:;d  force,  and  some  of  the 
"  sp'^eches"— especially  those  assigned  to  JiilUe 
Piper — are  exceedingly  poetical,  and  not  at  all 
far 'fetched  or  too  high'sounding.  While  Mr.  Miller 
uses  the  pruning- knife  at  tbe  stages  referred 
to,  he  would  also  do  wisely  to  reduce  the 
quantity  of  lachrymose  verbiage  assigned  to  BiUic 
Piper.  This  person  occasionally  rendnds  one  of 
Jeremiah,  and  latter-day  prophets  of  ao  sombre  a 
type  are  somewhat  oUt  of  place  in  a  theatre.  "  The 
Danites"  is  carefully,  and,  at  its  most  important 
points,  impressively  acted  at  the  Broadway.  The 
lateness  of  tbe  hour  at  which  the  performance 
ended  does  not,  however,  admit  of  '  an  elab- 
orate review.  For  the  present  we  mast  be 
content  to  mention  Misa  Kitty  Blanchard's  Nancy 
WiUiairu — and  BiUte  J*iper.  of  course — as  a  persona- 
tion uf  uncommon  sympathetic  charm  and  consider- 
able detail  and  force ;  a  respectable,  but,  as  yet, 
rather  superficial  and  conventional  representation  of 
Alexander  MeGee — a  commonplace  character,  at  best 
— by  Mr  McKre  Rankin,  and  a  droll  sketch 
of  WiUiam  Wise,  a  comic  individual  recalling 
Solon  Shingle  more  than  anyone  else  by  his  appear- 
ance, supplied  by  Mr.  W.  H-  Lytell.  Messrs.  Aid- 
rich,  Bowers.  Cogswell  and  Pratt — Mr.  Pratt  portray- 
ing Waskee-Wcuhee,  the  fourth  Chinaman  now  before 
the  public,  and,  we  sincerely  hope,  the 
last— and  Miases  lillie  Eldridge,  Ida  Jef- 
freys, and  Ada  Qilmau  sustained  the  re- 
maining parts.  The  *  play  has  been  put  npon 
the  stage  with  all  that  could  be  wished  iu  the  matter 
of  scenery,  and  the  theatre  in  which  it  was  per- 
formed, as  we  ought  to  hare  remarked  at  the  outset 
of  this  notice,  has  been  repainted,  regilded, 
rendered  generally  comfortable  and  bright,  and 
provided  with  a  new  curtain  by  Signor  Arrigoni, 
which,  on  account  of  the  occasional  superabundance 
of  Mr.  Miller's  prose,  might  with  advantage  have  had 
more  frequent  exhibition,  yesterday,  than  was  al-

MR.  SHERMAN  IN  ERROR, 

The  Cincinnati  OcuetU  of  l^Ionday  says : 
"Secretary  Sherman  in  his  Mansfield  speech  esti- 
mated the  tonnage  of  the  Mississippi  River  at  3,000,- 
000;  the  Northern  Lakes  3,00tf,O00,  and  the  New- 
York^Canals  4,172.170  tons;  total,  10,172,179 
tons,  against  which  the  four  trunk  lines  carry  27,  - 
649, 502  tona  The  estimates  for  tbe  water  lines  are 
ridicnonsly  erroneous ;  and  if  that  is  a  sample  of  the 
infer  nation  collected  by  the  Bureau  of  Statistics,  it 
ought  t«  be  reformed  or  abolished.  For  example, 
there  is  floated  down  the  Ohio  River  annually  90,- 
000,000  bushels  of  coal,  which  amounts  to  1,600,- 
OOO  tons.  This  is  more  than  one-half  ifae  amount 
credited  to  the  Mississippi  River.  Then  there  are 
ia  addition  immense  quantities  of  itone,  wood,  and 
lumber,  moved  in  barges,  which  would  swell  the  .on- 
nase  of  the  Ohio,  in  these  aiticles  alone,  to  more 
than  is  estimated  for  the  Mississippi.  It  Is  safe  to 
say  that  the  tonnage  of  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi 
Rivers  is  more  than  the  whole  amount  credited  to  iO. 
the  water  lines  in  Mr.  Sherman's  estimate,  and  the 
tonnage  of  Chicago,  including  lumber,  stone,  and 
coal,  must  far  exceed  the  estimate  for  the  northern 
lakes.  The  fact  is.  no  actmrate  Information  of  the 
commerce  of  our  rivers  is  collected,  and  the  same 
remark  holds  good  In  part  of  tbe  lakes;  bat 
enough  is  known  to  justify  the  estimate  we  have 
given  above. "       ^ 

TO  SAVE  HIS  FATHER'S  GOOD  NAME, 
The  Middletown  Brest  of  Tuesday  relates  the 
following:  "About  a  week  since  a  gentlemanly  ap- 
pearing stranger  walked  into  the  grocery  store  of 
Mr.  John  K.  Kellogg,  of  this  viUagft,  inqnired  for  the 
proprietor,  and  asked  him  how  long  he  had  been  In  the 
buaineaa,  &c  Mr.  Eellogg  informed  him  that  hia 
father,  2Unah  Kellogg,  had  preceded  him  in  busLnesa, 
and  that  later  they  had  been  associated  a^  partn^^  in 
tbe  some  store.  The  sti  anger  then  asked  Mr.  Kellogg 
to  look  over  the  old  books  at  a  period  of  about  30 
years  ago  and  see  if  he  could  find  an  account  against 
a  Richard  Hays.  Mr.  Kellogg  looked,  and  at  about 
tbe  period  indicated  found  a  small  account  against 
Biehard  Hays.  The  stranger  then  announced  him- 
self as  a  son  of  that  Richard  Hays,  and  that  he  had 
come  to  nay  the  account.  His  father  had  come  to 
this  place  at  the  tim«  the  Erie  was  being  VuUt, 
sjd  had  a  small  sub-contract.  He  had  been  obliged

<tbe&  oalr  5  years  old)  had  since  learned  of  it,  haar> 
int  it  spoken  of  by  bis  parents.  He  had  stopped  here 
one*  before,  but  not  finding  Mr.  Kellogg  had  gone 
away.  .  He  than  jiaid  the  biB  in  full." 

THE  NEW  TAMMANT  BROOM. 

Eromtht  NeuhTorher  StaaU-Zmixmg. 

Eternal  vlg:iUnce,  it  is  said,  is  the  price  of 
liberty.  If  this  be  true,  the  citizens  of  our  Metropo- 
lis have  just  now  every  reason  to  redouble  their  vigl- 
lasce.  In  the  City  Hidl  and  at  other  points  of  tbe 
wlde-qveadisg  Municipal  govenunental  machine 
events  are  taking  place  which  are  well  calculated  to 
keep  the  cltitens  vigilant  at  least  until  the 
next  elections.  Is  there  a  Cataline-Uke  con- 
spiracy ia  progress  against  the  Bossf  Or 
do  the  persons  holding  City  offices  by  the  grace  of 
Tammany  meditate  a  strike  which  shall  bring  the 
whole  machinery  of  government  to  a  stand  still  f 
Not  at  alL  There  aire  only  a  few  and  not 
very  troublesome  changes  in  office,  in  order 
to  carry  out  some  apparently  trifling  party  manoeu- 
vres, but  which  have  the  misforttme  to  be  in  viola- 
tion of  the  spirit  as  well  as  of  the  letter,  of  the  City 
Charter.  Onr  readers  must  be  aware  of  tbe  fact  that 
Controller  Kelly,  without  any  ground  or  reason,  has 
just  removed  the  old,  tried,  and  wyill-lnformed  Clerk 
of  Washington  Market,  and  has  put  in  his  place  a 
pliant  tool  of  Tammany's,  who  .  seems  not  at 
all  fit  for  his  position,  and  against  whom  chafes 
of  neglect  of  duty  have  been  already  preferred.  At 
the  same  time  the  Fire  Conunissioners  have  din- 
charged  a  number  of  subordinates  without  deeming 
it  worth  their  wh^e  to  give  any  one  a  reason  for  the 
dischargea  This  course  of  procedure,  even  in  the 
absence  of  all  statutes,  would  show  a  want  of  tact  not 
only  as  against  the  removed  office-holders,  but  also  in 
regard  to  the  general  public,  which  has  the  right 
to  demand  that  heads  of  departments  should  give 
satisfactory  reasons  for  such  arraucemeut.<!,  wtili-h 
directly  affect  the  public  interests.  Hero,  however, 
we  have  to  deal  not  only  with  a  public  case  of  want 
of  tact,  but  also  with  a  na^ant  violation  of  law. 

As  sensible  as  t)ie  people  now  ana  to  the  shame 
which  struts  about  in  broad  daylight,  jnst  so  dull  are 
they  to  the  reproach  which  approaches  stealthily. 
On  this  dullness  Kelly  and  his  associates  reckon. 
The  right  to  undertake  removals  is  undispuu:d. 
Several  removals  hive  already  been  had. 
Others  are  to  follow.  Who,  then,  will 
go  further  and  ask  for  reasons  \  We  can,  uf 
course,  assume  that  tbe  beads  of  bureaus  had  real, 
weighty  reasons,  and  that  they  simply  did  not  wibh  to 
cast  pearls  before  swine.  "HVhy,  therefore,  ask  ex- 
planations of  them  BO  long  as  the  admiuistrative 
machine  keeps  going  f  What  boots  it  whether  Heinz 
or  Kun2  holds  this  or  that  clerkship  ?  Still  we 
should  like  to  have  the  people  consider  that  from 
such  apparently  insignificant  party  manceuvres  party 
corruption  and  party  tj'ranuy  arise,  and  tliat  from 
such  secret,  slinking  violatious  of  law  the  founda- 
tions of  civil  order  are  undermined.  We  bt^lieve  It 
to  be  a  duty  of  self-preservation  that. the  citizens  of 
this  City  should  not  tolerate  such  a  violation  of  law. 
The  charter  may  be  good  or  bad — it  is  tue  law  of 
the  City,  and  should  be  executed  by  tlic  uffiriol.s. 
If  this  is  to  huld  good  of  all  detoi  minationfr, 
it  is  to  hold  good  of  such  as  aim  at  a  pui-e,  possibly 
unpartiaau  Jtlnnicipol  administration.  It  is  plain 
that  the  removals  ordered  by  Contn>ller  Kelly  and 
the  Fire  Commissioners  involve  a  direct  violation  of 
the  charter.  Ought  it  not  to  be  in  the  power  of  the 
citizens  to  ajll  the  guilty  officials  to  account  f  We 
have  here  a  Municipal  corporation  'niio&e  aim 
it  is  to  bring  about  law  and  order  with- 
in the  Municipal  Administration.  It  would 
have  here  a  favorable  opportunity  to  uufold 
its  iufiuettce  and  efficiency  for  the  welfare  of  the 
State.  Thure  is  no  room  for  doubt  that  Control- 
ley  Kelly  thn  he  compelled  to  give  the  reasons  "which 
prompted  him  to  remove  the  faithful  Clerk  of  Wash- 
ington Market.  A  prop*;r  iudiciiJ  pro^-eed- 
ing  against  him  and  against  the  Fire  Commis- 
sioners would  brim;  abiiut  the  desired  result. 
Kven  if  this  were  only  achieved — that 
Kelly  and  his  sss«>ciatos  should  observe  that  thert-  \h 
a  vigilant  ImxIv  of  cLtlSeos  coulruUiug  all  tbeiractious 
— such  a  step  would  be  a  sufficient  succeas.  If  the 
people  remain  indifferent  at  thin  opportunity,  they 
alone  are  to  blame  if  one  statute  book  follows  the 
other,  if  the  jiarty  magnates  insolently  trille  with 
their  most  sacred  iinemsls,  and  if  the  State  again  be- 
comes tbe  prey  of  political  rogues. 


THE  M'ACKEY  MYSTERY. 
The  more  the  Brooklyn  Police  endeavor  to 
reach  a  solution  of  the  mystery  surrounding  the 
death  of  J.  H.  Mackey.  whose  body  was  found  in  the 
bushes  near  Newport,  Ky.,  a  few  days  ago,  the  more 
confused  they  are  iu  regard  to  it.  At  first  word  came 
that  Mackey  had  committed  huicide.  A  few  hours 
afterward  this  report  was  supplemented  by  the 
startling  announcement  that  he  had  been  murdered, 
and  yesterday,  according  to  a  special  dispatch 
from  Cmcinnati,  published  in  The  Times,  both  theo- 
ries are  discarded,  and  the  conclusion  is  arrived  at  tliat 
Mr.  Mackey's  death  was  an  accidental  one.  Inspector 
Waddy  said  yesterday  that  he  was  at  a  loss  to  ac- 
count for  his  inability  to  get  authentic  particulars  of 
the  affair  from  the  Police  of  Cincinnati  or  Newport, 
and  was  of  opinion  that  he  would  sooner  or  later  be 
compelled  to  send  somebody  there  to  make  an  inves- 
tigation. He  said,  however,  that  he  would  not  be 
able  to  decide  in  regard  to  what  action  ought  to  be 
taken  by  the  Brooklyn  Police  until  he  had  re- 
ceived full  details  of  tfie  result  of  tbe  jmst  mortem 
examination  which  he  had  ordered  to  be  made.  It  is 
understood  that  the  sisters  and  friends  of  the  un- 
fortunate man  are  taking  steps  toward  having  the 
body  brought  home  for  burial.  It  has  alao  been  as- 
certained that  he  had  no  watch  with  him  when  he 
left  home,  having  lost  it  al>out  two  weeks  previously. 
Mr.  George  Kaimiay.  an  intimate  friend  and  com- 
panion of  the  deceased,  will  start  this  morning  fur 
NfwvT>ort.  Ky.,  for  the  purpose  of  bringing  thebody 
of  his  friend' to  Brooklyn  for  interment.  He  will  be 
accompanied  on  his  sad  errand  by  oue  of  the  sisters 
of  the  deceased.

A    VIOLENT  PATIENT. 

Henry  Meyer,  aged  42  years,  of  Xo.  402  East 
Houston-street,  for  some  time  past  had  an  allowance 
of  $10  a  week  from  a  benevolent  society  on  account 
of  supposed  helpless  lunacy,  but  recently  Dr.  Striker 
sent  the  society  a  letter  advising  tbe  withdrawal  of 
the  allowance,  which  .was  done.  Last  evening 
Meyer  called  at  the  Doctor's  residence  to  procure 
another  letter  from  him,  recommending  a  continu- 
ance of  tbe  withdrawn  allowance.  The  Doctor  reftised 
and  the  refusal  threw  Meyer  into  a  fit  of  violent 
mge-  He  attacked  the  Doctor,  threw  the  furniture 
around  at  a  lively  rate,  and  tore  Mrs.  Striker's 
clothes  almost  all  to  shreds.  An  officer  of  tbe  Seven- 
teenth Precinct  waa  called  in,  and  Meyer  was  taken 
into  custody  and  sent  to  Bellevue  Hospital. 

A  WOMAN  ASSAULTED  BY  RUFFIANS. 
Lizzie  Parannt.  aged  38,  from  Watertown, 
N.  Y.,  while  passing  along  Eighteenth-street,  be-

stopped  and  Indecently  addressed  by  Thomas  W.%id 
and  a  companion.  She  broke  away  from  them  and 
ran  into  a  hall-way.  They  followed  her,  and 
while  one  of  them  held  her  mouth  the  other 
outrageously  assaulted  her.  Mrs.  Parannt  succeeded 
in  uttering  a  scream,  and  her  cry  attracted  a  passine 
policeman,  who  came  to  her  assistance  and  arrested 
Ward  and  locked  him  up  in  the  Twenty-ninth  Pre-

writers  of  Europe  in  a  aimilar  manner  to  the  many  read-

Wednesday,  Aug.  22— P,  M. 
Speculation  on  the  Stock  Exchange  to-day 
was  again  active  and  excited,  and  the  majoritr 
of  the  active  shares  recorded  frequent  and  wide 
fluctuations.  Prices  opened  a  shade  lower  than 
at  the  close  last  evening,  but  subsequently  the 
market  developed  considerable  strength  and 
under  steady  purchases  an  advance  took  place 
along  the  whole  line,  the  improvement  ranging 
from  ij  to  3  Lj  if  cent.  The  stocks  most  prom- 
inent in  the  upward  movement  were  Lake 
Shore,  Michigan  Central,  Western  Union, 
North-western,  St  Paul,  and  the  coal  shares. 
No  reaction  of  consequence  took  place  until  late 
in  the  afternoon  when,  under  realizations,  the 
entire  list  yielded  i^taZi^V  cent,  the  latter 
in  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  Western.  Just 
before  the  close  this  decline  was  partially  re- 
covered, while  Lake  Shore*  advanced  to  the 
highest  point  of  the  day.

la'ai^  ^^  cent.,  to  9513*9514,  while  the  latter 
were  slightly  lower  for  10-408,  at  1089ga

tinchanged  for  4I2  per  cents  and  18678,  at 
107,  respectively.  Erie  declined  to 
934,  and  preferred  to  19,  but  recovered  li®l2 
I?  cent  at  the  close.  New- York  Central  de- 
clined 2  I?  cent,  selling  down  to  96.  Illinoia 
Central  sold  at  59ioffi60.  The  Bank  of  Eng- 
land lost  £303,000  buUion  to-day.  withdrawn 
on  balance.  At  Paris,  Rentes  fell  off  to  lOttf . 
20c.,  but  closed  firm  at  106f.  35c. 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  weak  and 
again  lower  for  actual  business,  which  was  on 
the  basis  of  $4  SI  lo  a $4  82  for  bankers'  60- 
dsy  bills.  $4  84  for  demand  and  $4  841^2  for 
cable  transfers.  These  rates  barely  admit  of  the 
profitable  importation  of  specie  from  the  other 
side,  but  imports  are  likely  to  begin  at  an  early 
day: 

The  Gold  speculation  opened  quiet  an4  steady, 
with  sales  at  104%  and  104 7g,  but  the  market 
soon  became  weak,  and  the  price  declined  to 
IO4I2,  which- Was  the  closing  figure.  Cash  gold 
was  easier,  and  after  commanding  2I3  to  4  ^ 
cent  for  use,  loaned  fiat  and  at  ligaS  ¥  cent 
for  carrying. 

Crovomnent  bonds  recorded  a  further  frac- 
tional decline  in  sympathy  with  gold,  and  the 
market  closed  rather  weak  in  ton^-  The  trans- 
actions were  moderate  in  amount  In  railroad 
mortgages  the  business  footed  up  $240,000. 
The  dealings  were  well  distributed.  Chicago

VICE OP  SHiLT  DISCONTENTS. 
Hitherto  when  a  new  party  has  been  formed^ 
or   an    old    one  Teorganized,  the  principal  leaders  tn 
the  moTement  have:;  come  to   the  front  and  given 
the  weifiht  of    their  names  to  the  eanse,  and  hare 
avowed  the  moCiTea  which  animated  them.    In.  the 
znovement  to   **  reore&nize  "  the  RepahUean  Party 
in  this  CSty.  no  one  who  is  known  to  those  inside  of 
polities  to   be    engineerinfi;   the  movement    ha«  al- 
lowed his  name  to  appear  on  any  list  of  officers  o£ 
any  one   of  the  twenty-one     district   aasociations 
which  are  asserted  to  have  been  last  Treek  organixed' 
in  this  City.    The  reason  for  this  novelty  in  political 
history  la  a  simple  one.    The  new  faction  claim  to  be 
pecnllarlythe  representatives   of   President   Hayes' 
civil  service  reform,  and  to  prove  it,   have  adopted 
as  their  eonstitation  the  constitution  of  the  regular 
Republican  organization,  with  an  apparently  impor- 
tant amendnvent.    This  amendment  provides  that  *  ^o 
c  person  who  ia^aa  officer  of  any  political  organization 
can  bo  a  candidate   for  any  office  tmder  the  Federal 
Government. "    As  every  one  of  the  men  behind  the 
new  movement  is  notoriously  seeking  office  under  the 
Federal  Government,  there  is  Kood  reason  why  they 
should  not  appear  on  the  surface.     TheVollowtng  list 
of  the  laaders  referred-to  Is  sufficient  evidence  of  the 
truth  of  the  assertion  :

Thn  claims  and -interest  of  Ihe  leaders  have  been, 
freely  stated  by  themselves.  They  say  that  Mr. 
Evarta  and  Mr.  Schurz  requested  them  to  make  a  re- 
enrollment  of  the  Republicans  In  this  City,  to  the 
end  that  all  the  "better  class  of  Republicans  might  be 
brought  to  the  front.  How  far  they  have  succeeded 
in  this  will  be  seen  hythu  sabjoined  analysis  of  the 
district  associations.  They  claim  that  in  a  short 
time  the  Collector  of  the  Port,  the  Surveyor,  the 
Haval  Officer,  and  ottier  Federal  officers  here  will  be 
one  and  all  removed,  and  when  this  is  done  the  new- 
party  men  trust  to  their  influence  to  he  enabled  to 
name  the  successors  to  the  removed  officers.  They 
:fnrther  claim  that  they  will  send,  contesting  delega- 
tions to  the  State  Convention,  and,  having  all  the 
influence  of  the  Federal  patronage  at  their  com- 
mand, will  capture  the  convention  and  make  such  a 
.ticket  as  they  please.  The  latter  part  of  the  pro- 
ETamine,  however,  is  one  whfch  they  have  already 
ecriously  blundered  in.  The  convention,  by  the 
Tegulatious  of  the  party  constitution,  will  of  neces- 
sity have  to  reject  the  claims  of  the  contesting  dele-  •, 
gations. 

riEST  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 
In  the  First  District  the  new  movement  is  engineered 
by  thebrothersJohnaud  JosephLafond,.both  of  whom 
are  in  the  shoe  business.  They  are  assisted  by  the 
.former's  son-in-law.  George  W.  Brigham,  so  that  the 
Lafond  family  and  the  Independents  of  the  district 
may  be  regarded  as  practically  identicaL  Dr.  Wil- 
-liam  L.  HaiSlng.  who  figures  as  President.  Is  a  re-  • 
■pectable  gentleman,  bnt  with  comparatively  little  In- 
mience.  Of  the  delegates  to  the  General  Committee. 
I>r.  J.  U.  Merrill  has  already  disavowed  any  connec- 
tion with  the  concern.  Patrick  Fleming  is  a  Demo- 
crat, who  voted  and  worked  for  Tilden  last  Fall,  and 
Daniel  Terry  is  an  ex- Post  Office  employe,  twice  dls- 
eharged  for  good  and  sufficient  reasons.  About  half 
of  the  ofBcers  and  delegates  are  entirely  unknown  to 
the  political  leaders  ou  either  side,  while  the  total 
number  of  "Independents"  in  the  district  is  no- 
where estimated  at  more  than  30,  not  a  dozen  of 
whom  ever  voted  the  Republican  ticket. 

SECOVD  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 
Tn  the  Second  Assembly  District  the  President  is 
J'ohn  Xoonan.  who  is  unknown  to  the  Republicans  of 
the  district.  The  first  Vice-President  is  John  Cavag- 
sero,  an  Italian,  w#o  developed  Republicanism  at 
the  same  time  that  he  announced  his  opposition  to 
Jt.t  regular  organization.  The  second  Vice-President, 
Andrew  R.  Story,  and  the  Secretary,  William  F. 
Barry,  are  not  known  in  the  district.  The  Treasurer. 
Ix>uis  Ritagliato.  is  an  Italian,  whose  RepabUcanism 
Is  of  recent  growth.  Of  the  delegates  to  the  treneral 
Committee,  the  only  ones  known  to  the  members  of 
the  regular  Republican  association  are  John  J. 
SVhite.  Daniel  Moore,  and  John  ^lullane.  White 
and  Mooro  were  once  members  of  the  district  as- 
Bociation.  White  went  off  with  the  Liberals, 
and  has  never  acted  with  the  Republicans 
since.  Moore  went  over  to  the ,  Democrats. 
Of  the  Inspectora  of  Election,  James  P.  White,  like 
his  brother,  became  a  Liberal,  and  has  since  acted 
upon  occasions  with  the  Democracy.  The  movement 
In  this  district  is  engineered  by  Dennis  McLaughlin, 
once  the  Chainnan  of  the  Regular  Republican  Asso- 
ciation of  the  district,  but  who  was  defeated  by   Mr. 

■  Dennis  Shea  last  Winter.  He  claimed  that  he  had 
->>een  cheated,  and  appealed  to  the  Central  Committee. 
liut  hadiW^case.  He  appears  now  to  be  determined 
either  to  get  place  In  the  re^lar  party  or  to  help  the 
I>emocTatR  by  running  the  so-called  Independent 
Organization,  which  i«  made  up  of  his  followers. 

THIRD    AS.SEMBL.r    I>I.**TBICT. 

In  the  Third  Assembly  District  the  President  of 
the  "  Independent*, '"  John  D,  Kinner,  has  never  be- 
longed to  the  local  Republican  Association;  Richard 
H.  McGuire.  the  Secretary,  and  Matthew  Barclay, 
one  of  the  Insi>e<:tors  of  Election,  have  both  been  ex- 
pelled from  the  regular  Republican  organization  Cor 
affiliation  with-the  Democrats ;  Sidney  Smith,  a  dele- 
gate to  the  General  Committee,  is  a  dischareed  Cus- 
rtom-house  official,  and  Richard  Clawson,  the  Ser- 
'geant-at-arms,  isaD«nocrat  and  former  place-bolder 
u.nder  Coroner  Flynn  and  Jndjce  Dowling.  Well  in- 
formed members  of  the  party  say  that  there  are  not 
tiftlf  a  dozen  genuine  Republicans  in  the  whole  ofFair. 
FOURTH  ASSEMBLY    DISTRICT. 

I^e  President  of  the  Independents  in  the  Fourth 
THstrict,  William  H.  Townley,  was  never  known  to 
Tote  in  that  district.  He  is  a  resident  of  Williams- 
huiz,  XKjng  Island.  William  H-  Webb,  one  of  the 
Vice-Presidents,  is  a  Democrat,  and  has  acted  aa  a 
Democratic  Inspector  of  Election.     Greoigo  O'Connor,  , 

■'the  doorkeeper,  never  called  himself  a  Republican, 
and  never  belonged  to  the  regular  Repub^ 
lican    Association.      George   Willett,    an  Inspector, 

■professed  to  be  a  Republican.  bnt  never 
gave  open  evidence  of  the  fact.  Benjauun  Hobday, 
the  Secretary,  never  belonged  to  the  Republican 
o  ganizatton  of  the  district,  but  is  trying  to  get  a  po- 
sition on  the  Custom-house  night  watch.  Dr. 
Thoms,  one  of  the  delegates  to  the  General  Commit- 
tee, was«/ormerly  a  memlwr  of  the  district  organiza- 
tion, but  was  expelled  for  having  voted  the  Demo- 
cratic ticket  for  the  past  two  years.  He  was  one  of 
the  or^nizers  of  the  Independents  in  the  diartrict, 
Kud  presided  at  the  enrollment. 

FIITH  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 

George  W.  Betts  is  reported  to  be  the  leader  of  the 
Independent  machine  in  the  Fifth  District.  His 
brother-in-law  and  about  a  dozen  young  men  of  no 
political  proclivities  in  particular,  have  joined  "just 
Secause  Belts  wanted  them  to."  Several  of  those 
who  have  signed  the  roll  say  that  they  did  so  under  a 
jnisapprehenaifra-  A.  E.  Pratt,  the  doorkeeper,  is  a 
Democrat,  and  a  number  of  the  few  remaining  mem- 
bers are  of  the  same  kidney.  This  new  movement 
does  not  ntiniber  20  voters  altogether  out  of  the 
2,1)00  polled  by  Republicans  at  the  last  election. 

SIXTH  ASSEMBLY   DISTRICT. 

Daniel  C.  Durnnd,  the  President  of  the  Indenend- 
enta  in  the  Sixth  District,  was  once  a  member  of  the 
regular  Republican  organization,  but  withdr^  a  year 
aeo.  John  F.  Carrick.- the  First  Vice-President,  was 
never  identified  with  the  Republican  Party.  Thomas 
Kirfcpatrick,  a  delegate,  naa  been  a  Liberal,  but  ia 
nsnally  a  Detnocrat.  Charles  B.  Freligh.  another 
dt'legate.  was  proposed  for  membership  in  the  regular 
Republican  Association  a  few  days  ago.  His  name 
fcas  been  used  by  the  Independents  without  his  con- 
'  nent.  John  D.  Post,  another  delegate,  la  an  ex-po- 
iVeman.  and  was  never  a  Regular  i?«publican.  Pat- 
Tick  F  Carroll   laspe«:tor,  was  a  member  of  the   Re- 

•  publican  AswxOation.  but  was  dropped  from  its  roU 
over  a  year  ago. 

SBVKNTH  ASSEMBLT  DISTRICT. 

The    Seventh    District    Independent  Organixatloii 

owes  ita  existence    directly   to  the  efforts  of  Mr. 

Thomas  E.  Stewart.     The  primary  meeting  was  held 

In  a  small  paint  «hop  in  Eleventh-street  which  will 

■  not  hold  40  perwrna.  and  it  was  not  faU.  Persons 
who  were  pre»at  say  that  there  was  no  ei^Ument- 
list,  and  that  the  name*  of  persons  to  form  the  Gen- 
ersJ  Committee  were  taken  from  the  Directory.  Da-

whose  name  is  notid  the  Directory,  and  Joseph  Rice, 
who  could  not  be  found  in  the  district  The  primary 
was  attended  by  an  tmneoessarily  latge  nunli>er  of 
Democrats,  who  seemed  to  take  a  deep  intere^  in 
the  proceedings. 

EIQHTH  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 

Henry  C-  Bangs,  the  President  of  the  Eighth 
District  organization,  is  but  little  known  in  the 
district.  He  is  said  to  be  a  bariceeper.  George 
Snnkel,  one  of  the  Vice-Presidents,  is  entirely  un- 
known. The  Treasurer,  John  E.  Marrin,  was.  once 
employed  in  the  Cnstom-house,  but,  bein?  discharged. 
went  into  Tammany  Hall.  Carl  Geuman  was  a 
member  of  the  Republican  Association,  but  was 
dissatisfied  because  he  was  not  provided  with  a  place. 
Samuel  A.  McOarragal  is  a  sorehead  of  the  same 
character.  Thomas  H.  Flanagan  ia  a  Democrat. 
Michael  Neville  was  once  an  Inspector  in  the  CastOm- 
houae,  but  was  dismissed.  John  Hall,  and  Frank 
IVllmarth  are  pronounced  Democrats. 

NINTH  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 

The  Ninth  la  one  of  the  strongest  Bepubllcah  dis- 
tricts in  the  Oity,  having  a  working  Repnbliean  ma- 
jority, and  being  an  essentially  American  district. 
The  "  Independent  "  clique  here  Is  much  lesa  for- 
midable than  several  other  factions  whidi  have  at 
times  spnmg  up  in  the  district,  and  does  not  number 
at  the  outside  more  than  35  individuals,  and  most  of 
those  young  and  inexperienced  men ;  John  M.  Costa 
is  the  recognized  leader,  and  most  of  the  members 
are  his  personal  friends  and  acquaintances.  A  nnm- 
ber  of  them  say  that  they  joined,  at  Costa's 
request,  lust  for  the  fun  of  the  thing. 
Ei-Assemblyman  Andrew  J.  Campbell  Is  another 
leading  men^ber,  as  is  also  Charles  J.  Rose,  one  of 
the  "criers"  at  the  Gold  Board.  Costa  and  Arthur 
H.  Hawley.  one  of  the  Inspectors  of  Eleetion,  are  still 
retained  in  the  Republican  Central  Committee  of  the

tance. 

TEXTH  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 

The  organization  in  the  Tenth  District  appears  to 
have  been  wholly  the  creation  of  Democratic  poli- 
ticians. A  few  days  before  the  primary  meeting  was 
held  Alderman  George  HaU  and  Mike  Neville — one  of 
the  disappointed  Repablicans  who  deserted  the  body 
and  joined  Tammany  Hall  some  time  ago — began 
scouring  around  among  the  Greenback  men  in  the  dis- 
trict, and  engaged  the  attention  of  a  few  patrons  of  a 
lager-beer  saloon  at  Ko.  237  Fifth-street,  kept  by 
Mr.  P.  C.  Bamberger.  When  the  night  for  the 
election  ;came,  half  a  dozen  men— never  more  than 
seven — collected  around  a  cigar  box,  and  without  any 
enrollment  list  except  one  whfch  had  previously  done 
dpty  for  the  Greenback  organization,  they  elected — 
without  the  formality  of  a  ballot — tne  list  of 
officers  which  was  published  afterward  as  the  choice 
of  the  IndependentRepnblicansof  thedistrict.  Everv- 
bodv  present  got  an  appointment,  and  one  name  (n 
the  list — that  of  Henry  Bayley,  was  used  twice,  the 
second  time  as  "Josh  "  Bayley.  P.  C.  Bambe^er. 
the  Prewdent,  was  a  Peter  fcooper  man  last  Fall,  and 
worked  with  the  Greenback  Party.  Henry  J.  Prinz. 
First  Vice-President,  a  fresco  painter,'  was  also  a 
Greenbacker.  as  was  William  A.  Konow,  the  Second 
Vice-President,  who  was  not  in  the  meeting,  and  did 
not  know  of  his  election  until  the  following  day. 
John  A.  Gieg.  Jr..  the  Secn-tary,  was*  last  Fall  a 
Greenback  man.  but  has  been  heard  to  express  hLs 
intention  to  -work  with  the  rognlar  RepnbUcaus  this 
Full,  Edwin  W.  Rehajt.  I5enr»^ant-at-Ann5.  has  not 
vet  cast  hJs  first  vote.  The  Treasurer,  George  Wil- 
liams, was  furraerl*  a  Depntv  Shertflf  *  at 
Greenpoint.  and  was  then  presumably  a  Democrat. 
Henry  Bayley,  of  the  General  Committee,  is  called 
*•  the  smartest  of  the  lot,"  and  is  a  book-keei>er,  now 
out  of  work,  and  ready  for  a  situation.  Philip 
Prinz,  Jr.,  another  member  of  the  General  Commit- 
tee, has  reached  the  tender  a*re  oC  17.  Herman 
Korclu  named  for  the  General  Committee,  does  not 
live  in  the  district.  Additional  names  in  the  Gen- 
eral Committee  are  tho^e  of  Henry  Gellman.  who 
will  cast  his  first  vote  next  Fall :  George  W.  Knnpp, 
not  in  the  Directory,  and  put  down  at  random  "to 
fill  up  :"  John  H.  Eichler,  cwied  from  the  Green- 
back enrollment  list :  John  Elter  and  James  Moore, 
-suggested  by  Hall  and  Neville;  E.  Knapp,  whose 
name  was  put  in,  it  was  found,  by  mistake,  as  he  has 
a  standing  debt  with  Bamberger,  which  greatly 
annoys  that  person :  and  Jake  Smith,  a  Greenbaeker. 
The  man  who  ran  this  meeting — R.  Shanner,  or 
t^hannon,  a  Democrat — appears  on  the  list  of  In- 
spectors of  ElecUcm  with  "Josh"  Bayley.  a  double, 
and  P.  C.  Bamberger.  Sinre  the  organization  of 
this  powerful  body  the  Seventeenth  Ward  Independ- 
ent Republicans,  an  organization  which  has  always 
opposed  the  regulars,  has  given  tokens  of  a  desire  to 
affiliate  with  the  regulars  and  abandon  its  independ- 
ent existence. 

ELEVENTH   ASPEMBLT   DISTRICT. 

The  election  of  the  Independents  la  the  Eleventh

names  appear  on  the  list  of  officers  of  the  "^de- 
pendents "  who  are  known  to  the  old  residents  of  the 

district.  These  men  are  mainly  persons  who  were 
prominent  Fenton  men,  and  the  new  movement  ia, 
tborefore.  a  revival  of  that  defunct  organization.  Mr. 
George  P.  Bradford,  the  President,  was  a  strong 
Fenton  and  Greeley  man.  He  is  an  eminently  re-

not  appear  in  the  list  of  names  chosen  by  the  Inde- 
pendents of  the  Eighteenth  Districtj  he  Is  very  well 
known  as  the  moving  spirit  of  the  body,  and  his 
friends  are  well  provided  for.  Erastus  Mead,  the 
President  of  the  district  was  four  or  five  vears  ago 
in  the  regular  organization,  but  then  broke  away, 
having  been  at  all  times  au  applicant  for  any  office 
that  could  be  had.  B.  B.  Chappell.  the 
Secretary,  was  formerly  in  the  Custom- 
house. He  claims  to  be  in  the  regu- 
lar organization.  George  Mulligan,  the  Treasurer,

house, and  lo5t  it,  and  has  since  been  disaffected. 
The  Inspectors  of  Election  are  all  ex-office-holders,

cent appllcjmt.  Coles  RasTior,  the  doorkeeper,  is 
one  of  Pullman's  employes.  Of  the  delegates  to  the

Capt  S.  R.  Johnson  is  a  Liberal,  who  refused  last 
Fall  to  take  part  in  the  Bo^-s  in  Blue  demonstra- 
tions. Thomas  W.  Nlxon  is  apolitical  *' intrate," 
who  has  been  kept  at  work  for  the  last  three  years 
by  the  Republicans,  and  would  willingly  accept  any 
position. 

TWENTIETH  ASSEMBLX  DISTRICT. 
In  the  Twentieth  Assembly  Dbrtrict  the  "First 
Vice-President,"  Dr.  Allen  C.  Heath,  repudiates  any 
connection  with  the  "Independents."  Mr.  Seymour 
L.  Bunce,  their  alleged  "Treasurer,"  1b  Treasurer  of 
the  regular  association.  Of  the  delegates  to  their 
General  Committee.  David  Babcock  is  a  regular 
Republican;  De  'Witt  Ward  and  John  Alston 
■■  have  no  connection  with  them."  Charles  Wiegand 
"knows  nothing  of  them."  Abijali  Pell  "never 
heard  of  them  before."  Bernard  F.  MulUn  Li  not  a 
member  of  their  organization,  Charles  Banmgartner 
does  not  recognize  them,  and  William  Lannihan  did 
not  even  know  that  there  was  such  a  party  in  existence. 
Joseph  Swenarton.  an  officer  of  the  Supreme  Court 
and  who  Is  put  down  a^nother  of  the  General  Com- 
mitteemen, Rays  he  never  heard  of  them 
before  he  saw  his  name  printed  as  one 
of  their  officers.  Simon  Hazleton's  name  was  used 
without  his  consent.  William  Fulmer  is  a  member 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  regular  organi- 
zation, bnt  as  he  is  a  persistent  place-seeker,  and 
haa  been  unable  to  procure  a  paying  position  in  his 
old  aiMociation.  it  Ispossible  that  he  has  joined  the 
"Independents."'  The  same  may  be  said  of  Rich- 
mond Duncourt.  Michael  Finn  owns  two  or  three 
ash  carta  employed  by  the  Police  Department  It  hi 
possible  that  he  has  become  an  "  Independent  "  to 
commend  himself  to  the  Democratic  Police  officials. 
Thomas  S.  Knox  has  a  grievance  against  the  regular 
organization  in  that  he  recently  lost  hU  place  in  the 
Custom-house.  Timothv  Hanley  ran  for  the  Assem- 
bly as  an  Independent  I^emorrat  in  IS?.*}.  Another 
of  the  Independents.  Robert  Amos,  is  a  Democrat. 
Well-informed  politicians  of  both  parties  say  that  the 
number  of  the  so-called  "  Independent  Republicans" 
in  this  district  does  not  exceed  'JO.  They  may  liave 
more  names  on  their  roll,  but  if  so  they  are  made  up 
of  Democrats  or  men  who  never  vott>d  a  Republican 
ticket. 

TWENTY-FIRST  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT. 

The  independent  organization  of  the  Twenty-flrst 
District  is  stamped  indelibly  with  the  mark  of 
'*  Bill  "  Haw.  who  is  the  head  and  front  of  the  body. 
He  has  grouped  around  him  a  large  number  of  his 
political  friends,  some  of  whom  are  honest,  hut 
most  of  them  are  soreheads,  desperately  ready  to 
join  any  organization  which  gives  promise  of  office. 
Alderman  ^yea,  who  ia  the  President,  when  the 
split  in  the  party  occurred  went  out,  and  is  known 
as  a  sorebeM,  disappointed  because  he  was  defeated 
for  Alderman  two  years  aeo.  Georee  E.  Townsend 
and  William  0-  Davis.  Vice-Presidents,  are  well 
known  aa  persons  of  light  calibre.  Arthur  P.  Hln- 
roan.  Secretary,  is  a  henchman  of  *'  Bill "  Haw. 
John  Egan,  Treasurer,  Is  an  avowed  Democrat.  In 
the  last  election  he  worked  for  Joseph  Fallon,  the 
Democratic  candidate  for  Assembly.  He  iras  ex- 
pelled from  the  Republican  organization  at  the  aame 
time  "  Bill  "  Haw  was,  and  both,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered, were  afforded  ample  opportunitv  to  object  to 
the  charges  preferred  against  them  before  they  were 
expelled.  £gau  is  an  ignorant  man,  and  It  is  thought 
that  his  main  ambition  is  to  get  control  of  a  couple  of 
ash  routes  in  Harlem,  and  there  are  few  i>ersons  who 
would  select  him  for  the  custodian  of  funds.  The 
inspectors  chosen  by  the  Independents  form  a  some- 
what remarkable  collection  of  persons.  "Jimmy  " 
Roper,  an  inveterate  applicant  for  ofKce,  is  known 
as  "Haw's  man  Fridav  ;'*  Nelson  Mott,  re- 
cently in  the  Street  Department,  an  office- 
seeker,  is  in  the  new  organization  "wait-

EXPLOSION  OF  CHEMICAL   WORKS, 


NARROW  ESCAPE  OP  THE  DEPUTY  MARSHAL 
IN  CHARGE  OF  THE  PREMISES— WHAT 
CAME  OF  LIGHTING  A  MATCH. 

At  a  late  hour  Tuesday  night  a  fire  occurred 
in  the  chemical  works,  owned  and  operated  by 
Charles  Kensler.  comer  of  Flushing  and  Evergreen 
avenues,  Brooklyn,  E.  D.  The  place,  at  the  time, 
was  In  charge  of  the  United  States  authorities, 
having  been  seized  by  Deputy  Marshal  Cochen,  on 
snf^idon  of  illicit  distillation.  Deputy  Marshal 
John  Renx  was  in  charge  of  the  works,  and  yesterday 
made  the  following  statement  to  Vir^  Slatshal  Keady, 
who  is  investigating  the  case :  He  said  that  he  took 
charge  of  the  place  at  5  o'clock,  and^  as 
ustuil  in  such  cases,  remained  outside,  it  not  being 
considered  safe  to  place  strangers  inside  such  a  place 
at  night  for  the  reason  that  they  might  accidentally 
do  some  damage,  or  Injure  themselves.  About  IX 
o'clock  he  went  into  the  building  and  lit  a  fiMteh  to 
see  if  everything  was  all  right  He  walked  through 
the  building,  and  down  toward  the  rear  part,  and 
when  about  half  way  across  the  room  he  saw  a  flame 
about  12  Inches  long  on  top  of  one  of  the  tanks  In 
the  left  band  comer  of  the  room.  He  did  not  know 
what  was  in  the  tank,  or  whether  or  not  it .  was 
covered,  and  wisely  came  to  the  immediate  conclu- 
sion that  it  was  not  best  to  stop  to  investigate.  He 
was  informed  by  the  man  he  relieved  that  there  was 
fire  under  the  boilers,  but  he  did  not  eo  to  see 
whether  there  was  or  not  It  was  'not  more 
than  a  minute  after  he  lit  the  match  when  he  saw  tha 
flash  of  fire,  and  as  the  flame  increased  rapidly  in 
size  he  made  a  rush  through  the  door  on  the  opposite 
Bide  of  the  building  and  ran  as  n^idly-  aa  poeafble 
aerow  the  lots  to«:^d  FinsUng-avenue.  He  had  not 
been  more  than  ou»  or  two  minutes  out  of  the  build- 
\d%  when  he  heazd  aa  exploaion,  and  looking  anrand 
•aw  the  whole  piaee  go  up  in  flamea.  He  dM  not  aee

thatheoriglnally leased  thepteakises,  and  sub-let  them 
to  Kensler,  who  maanfaetuted  a^preparation  for  dts- 
aoMng  ahellae  for  varnish ;  he  waa  positive  that 
there  was  no  'whisky  manufactured  on  the  premtses  ; 
there  was  an  ether  still  there,  and  he  was  of  the' 
opinion  that  the  explosion  occurred  in  that  still. 

Notwithstandiiig  Mr.  Brady's  positive  statement, 
Vhen  the  Man^hi£  who  made  the  seizure  made  the 
usual  aear^theyfoundalot  of  mash,  astill,  and  other 
apparatus..  The  premises  were  not  seized  ou  suspicion 
of  being  an  iQieit  still  for  manufacturing  whisky, 
hut  on  the  ground  that  the  proprietor  was  in  the 
habit  of  manufacturing  alcohol,  which  he  used  in 
the  manufacture  of  ether,  and  thus  evaded  the  Gov- 
ernment tax  on  the  former  article,  and  was  thus  en- 
abled to  undersell  his  competitors  in  the  ether  busi- 
ness. Yesterday  afternoon  Kensler  was  arrested, 
taken  before  the  United  States  Marshal,  and  held  in 
$2,500  bonds  pending  the  investigation. 

RIFLE-SEOOTINa  AT  CREEDMOOR, 


crrr  AM  suBUBBM  news. 


pbactice  by  the  long  sange  teams — the 
stock  sxchakge  match  for  the 
"  bkonze"  medal. 
The  second  day  of  the  flrat  regular  practlee 
of  the  Ameriun,  and  New-Orleans  teaau  paued  off 
pleasantly  yesterday,  and  the  shooting  waa  very 
good,  although  not  up  to  the  handsome  scores  of  the 
previous  day.  The  New-Orleans  team  shot  somewhat 
better.  Its  Captain,  Mr.  Buckley,  attends  very 
closely  to  bis  men.  No  change  in  the  wind  or  light 
eecapes  his  notice,  and  it  is  due  somewhat  to  his 
coaching  that  the  team  keeps  together  and  works  so 
harmoniously.  The  American  team  shot  according 
to  the  admirable  system  introduced  by  its  Captain, 
Gen.  Dakin,  and  made  a  team  total  of  1,562  ont  of  a 
possible  1,800  points.  The  Amateur  Clnb  was  more 
largely  represented  than  it  was  on  the  previous  day, 
several  members  having  been  telegraphed  to  by  CoL. 
Sanford  to  come  down  and  try  their  fortunes  yester- 
day in  order  to  send  a  team  to  Canada  indeoendent 
of  the  members  who  are  in  the  American  team.  The 
wind  was  "an  ugly  fish-tail  breeze,  "as  on  Tuesday, 
blowing  from  a  southerjy  direction  from  the  rear  of 
the  firing  point  toward  the  targets^and  veering  sud- 
denly from  rieht  to  left  throughout  the  day.  The 
scores  made  by  the  American  team  were  as  f  ollowj^, 
the  highest  attainable  iadiridnal  score  being  225 
points :

DEATH  OF  A.  BRAVE  WOMAN. 
Mrs.  Catharine  Ix>uisa  Harris  died  yesterday. 
In  the  4:6th  year  of  her  age.  Her  death  is 'noticeable 
from  the  fact  that  she  was  the  woman  who  risked 
her  own  life  in  August,  1S75,  in  order  to  render  as- 
sistance to  Mr.  James  H.  Noe,  the  brush  merchant, 
who  was  killed  in  his  stote  by  John  Dolan,  who  was 
afterward  executed  for  the  offense.  It  will  be  re- 
membered ttiat  after  Dolan  had  attacked  Mr.  Noe  he 
was  followed  by  the  latter  to  the  roof  of  the'house, 
and  that  Dolan  there  again  Attacked  him  and  left  him 
ga^ed  and  senseleBs.  Mrs.  Harris  lived  in  the  sd- 
Joming  house,  and,  hearing  the  moans  of  the  dving 
man,  went  to  his  assistance  at  the  risk  of  her  own  life, 
having  to  climb  over  the  root  in  order  to  reach  him. 
and  then  to  slide  down  tho  slanting  roof  of  the  .next 
bouee.  She  was  an  impnrt'ant  witness  at  the  trial  of 
Dolan,  and  received  great  praise  for  her  courage. 

'WOMAN  SUFFRAGE  ZY.  COLORADO. 

A  woman  suffrage  meeting  was  held  in  Den- 
ver, Colorado,  on  the  evening  of  the  15th  Inst.,  tund  a 
letter  of  regret  and  sympathy  &om  Gk>v.  Evans  was 
read.  He  wrote:  "I  trust' you  will  Inanxnrate  an 
earnest  movement  for  the  eatise  of  equal  soflfrage, 
which  is  necessary  to  eqnal  rights,  even-handed  jus- 
tice, and  i>olitIcal  reform.  Ati»  time  when  all  good 
citizens  are  watching  with  solicitude  the  results  of 
the  nohle  efforts  of  the  Administration  for  a  reform. 
in  the  civil  service  of  our  country,  and  are  prayiuir 
for  the  uprooting  of  the  influences  that  snstain  and 
foster  political  corruption,  it  is  fortunate  that  In 
Colorado  we  have  an  opportunity  of  bringing  to  bear 
the  restraining,  purifying,  and  ennobling  iSiuences 
of  women  apon  the  qnestion.  It  is  a  reform  that 
will  require  all  the  benign  influences  of  the  country 
to  sustain  and  carry  out.  and  as  I  love  my  country 
and  hope  for  the  perpetuation  of  free  institutions,  I 
dare  not  neglect  any  of  the  means  for  purifying  its 

iliticHi,  among  which  the  influence  of  women  must 
<e  regarded  as  the  most  promising  and  the  most  po- 
tent."

THE  OUTLOOK  IN  OHIO. 

The  Cincinnati  Times  printB  a  telegram  from 
Columbus,  Ohio,  dated  IBth  Inst.,  which  says: 
"The  outlook  at  the  Bepublican  Head-quarters  is 
good — much  better  than  it  was  when  the  party  en- 
tered the  last  Gubernatorial  campaign.  The  organi- 
sation has  not  been  completed,  but  the  response  from 
the  towiuhips  shows  more  earnestness  than  iias  been 
exhibited  during  the  last  nix  y^ara.  This  information 
is  reliable.  It  Is  known  to  your  correspondent  to  be 
correct.  The  letters  received  speak  with  more  than 
usual  determination,  and  more  of  them  are  received 
than  ustiaL  The  writers  want  documents  and  infor- 
mation that  will  enable  them  to  flcht  well.  The  out- 
look now  is  that  the  disaffected  Republicans  who 
will  decline  to  vote  or  work  on  aoconnt  of  the  South- 
ern policy  win  not  weaken  the  party  as  much  aa  the 
liberal  morement  did  a  few  rears  as^*'

LONG  ISLAND. 

The  Roe-Doonan  case  appears  likely  to  make 
work  for  the  courts  for  some  time  to  come.  Annlo 
Doonan  Roe  appeared  before  Justice  Miller,  at  Bay- 
side,  on  Monday  evening,  and  made  complaint  against 
her  husband,  bdward  Roe.  of  Whitestone.  in  an  ac- 
tion for  abandonment.  The  defense  claimed  that 
Annie  was  a  resident  of  New-Jersey,  and  raised  the 
question  of  jurisdiction,  but  the  plaintiff  claims  to  be 
a  resident  of  Flushing,  though  for  some  time  engaged 
as  housekeeper  for  a  family  in  NewJersey.  Justice 
Miller  reser\-ed  bis  decision  to  give  him  time  to  ex- 
amine the  testimony  given  before  other  Justices  by 
the  nlaintiff  in  the  same  action.  Meantime  B.  W 
Downing,  as  counsel  for  Roe,  and  instigated  by  Roe's 
father,  proposes  to  begin  proceedings  for  an  aosolute 
divorce  on  the  ground  of  force  and  fraud  in  inducing 
Koe  to  marry  Annie  last  July. 

A  gang  of  Jamaica  roughs  who.  It  is  under- 
stood,  had  previously  been  making  a  disturbance  at 
a  German  picnic  in  the  neighborhood,  about  3  o'clock 

on  Tuesday  morning  made  an  attack  upon  the  Maple 
Grove  Hotel,  on  the  Jamaica  Turnpike,  about  a  mile 
■west  of  the  village,  kept  by  Richard  Bollerman.  He 
refused  to  open  the  bar-room  to  them,  when  they 
burst  open  the  door,  knocked  him  down,  kicked  him 
badly,  and  otherwise  abused  him.  Help  arriving, 
the  roughs  were  driven  from  the  house,  when  they 
commenced  throwing  stones  and  other  missiles  at 
the  building,  breaking  windows  and  doingother  dam- 
ago.  Bollerman  finally,  in  >elf-defense,  fired  a  i;un 
out  of  a  window  at  the  crowd,  but,  fortunately,  hit 
no  one,  though  it  had  the  desired  effect  of  disnersing 
the  gang.  John  Meighan,  one  of  the  party,  was  ar- 
re8te<l  yesterday,  taken  before  Justice  Betts,  and 
fined  $10.  Warrants  are  out  for  the  arrest  of  the 
others. 

John  Henry  Blake,  as  he  called  himself,  went 
to  Southold  last  September,  and  obtained  work  with 
a  farmer  named  Haines.  He  was  of  agreeable  man- 
ners, and  won  the  confidence  of  the  family,  and 
finally  the  affections  of  Sarah  Jane,  one  of  Mr. 
Haines'  daughters.  He  apparently  became  interested 
in  religious  subjects,  atid  in  due  time  joined  the 
Presbyterian  Church-  Finally,  on  the  30th  of  la-st 
June,  he  and  iSarah  Jane  were  married,  and  the  pub- 
lication of  this  marriage  led  to  the  discoveiy  that 
John  Henry  was  an  impostor.  He  is  a  native  of 
Bristol,  R.  I.,  26  years  old,  and  his  true  name  is  John 
Henry  Lake.  His  parents  formerly  lived  about  a 
mile  from  Bristol  village,  and  his  family^  are  said  to 
be  of  bad  repute.  Two  years  ago  John  Henry  was  at 
liocust  Valley,  Queens  County,  where  on  the  2Sth 
ef  June.  1875,  he  married  a  young  woman  of  that 
place.  A  few  days  ago,  as  soon  as  he  ascertained 
that  a  report  had  reached  Southold  of  his  real  char- 
acter, he  absconded,  and  has  since  written  letters 
from  Bristol  Coimty,   Mass.     There  is  much   sym- 

Sathy  for  the  young  woman   whom  he  has  so  basely 
eceived.

uable as  he  represented  them  to  be,  and  there  is  no

The  inquest  in  the  case  of  Patrick  Pallahee, 
who  died  suddenly  in  a  Jersey  City  station-house  on 
Monday,  was  commenced  before  Coroner  Gannon 
last  night.  The  First  Precinct  officers  testified  to

him  some  milk  which  she  said  contained  brandy, 
just  before  he  died ;  also  to  the  finding  of  a  wound 
on  his  head,  said  to  have  been  inflicted  by  an  iron

Mrs,  James  .A.  Harper  was  yesterday  arrested 
and  arraigned  before  Recorder  McDonough,  of  Ho- 
boken, on  the  complaint  of  her  husband.  Tuesday

and  the  Constable  who  executed  it  found  her  living 
in  a  handsome  house  on  Congress-street.  When 
Mrs.  Harper  was  arraigned  she  said  that  her  htisband 
had  frequently  threatened  to  kill  her.  and  had  once

The  Hoboken  Common  Council  have  dis- 
covered &  new  way  of  acting  upon  the  veto  message 
of  the  Mayor.  A  few  weeks  ago  the  Council  passed 
a  resolution  requiring  City  Treasurer  Kamena 
to  deposit  the  city  moneys  in  the  First  National  Bank. 
A  few  mijxntes  later  they  passed  a  second  resolution 
requiring  the  First  National  Bank  to  gi^e  bonds  for 
the  safe  custody  of  the  money.  'The  Mavor  last. 
evening  vetoed  both  resolutions,  claiming  tkat  the 
refu-sal  of  the  bank  to  file  bonds  will  prevent  the  de- 
posit of  the  City's  money.  The  rules  of  the  board  re- 
quire that  the  message  shall  be  received  and  act^d 
upon  at  the  ensuine  meeting.  Councilman  Ellis  moved 
when  the  message  had  been  read  last  night,  that  it  be 
rejected.  City  Clerk  Deicber  is  in  doubt  whether, 
under  that  resolution,  he  shall  throw  it  into  the 
street  or  return  it  to  Mayor  Russell. 

CRICKET  AT  STA TEN  ISLAND. 


A  GAME  BETWEEN  THE  ISL.A.XI>ERS  AND. THE 
COLUMBIAS,  OP  HOBOKEN — ^A  VICTORY 
FOR   THE   FOBMEK. 

The  Staten  Island  Cricket  Club  played  a 
match  game  at  cricket  with  the  Columbia  Cricket 
Club,  of  Hoboken.  on  the  grounds  of  the  former  at 
Staten  Island.  The  play  was  commenced  at  10:30 
o'clock  A-  M.,  and  was -vigorous  and  at  times  bril- 
liant. The  Staten  Island  Club  were  the  first  to  use 
the  bats,  with  Houghton  and  Jarvis  at  the  wickets. 
The  former  was  nicely  bowled  and  caught 
by  Walsh,  and  the  la^r,  after  making  21 
runs,  lost  his  wickets  through  the  effectrvt 
bowling  of  McGosky.  McCloskv's  bowling  waseicep-' 
tionally  fine  during  both  of  the  innings  of  the  Statea 
Island  Club.  He  also  caught  J.  J.  Ayerat  miu- 
wicket,  which  was  one  of  the  best  performances  ot\ 
the  day.  The  Staten  Island  Club  made  55  in  tiit»' 
inning.  In  the  first  inning  of  tbe  Columbiaa,  Cud- 
dihy  and  Atkins  first  went  to  the  wickets,  and  were 
disposed  of  by  Durand,  who  took  Cuddihy's  wickets 
from  the  field  at  leg  off.  and  Eyre,  who  bowled  At- 
Idns  after  he  bad  made  but  two  runs.  Houghton's 
slow  round-arm  bowling  was  damaging  to  the  Colum- 
bia's score,  and  puzzlinjc  to  their  players.  Gregory, 
however,  managed  to  make  one  ^^khI  hit  for  fotir 
runs,  and  with  throe  others  hardly  earned  retired. 
being  bowled  by  Jarvis.  The  Staten  Island's  second 
inning  was  quickly  played,  with  nothing  to  note,  ex- 
cept the  good  batting  of  E.  Forbes,  a  one-armed 
player,  who  did  some  astonish-ng  work,  and  stood 
for  15  runs.  In  the  Columbias'  second  inning  bat- 
ting was  very  even,  and  their  10  wickets  fell  for  -47 
runs.  If  they  bad  been  sharp  and  more  active,  they 
might  have  increased  their  score  by  taking  advan- 
tage of  Che  passed  balls.    The  following-is  the  score :

t/OSBON,  Aug.  23.— Advices  from  the 
Ehusian  Head-quarters  at  Gomy-Stoden,  dated 
yesterday  af  terooon,  state  tbat  the  battle  in  the 
Ndiipka  Pass  ie  still  proceeding.  The  enemy  has 
renewed  the  attack  many  times  with  fresh 
troops,  bat  eacli  time  bas  been  repnlsed  with 
heary  (Turkish)  loss. 

Additional  details  received  here  regarding 
the  battle  in  the  Schipka  Pass  state  that  the 
Rossians  repulsed  successively  10  vigorous  at- 
tacks made  by  the  Turks,  the  positions  of  the 
Bussians  being  very  strong.  It  is  not  true  that 
the  forces  of  Lieat.-Oen.  Mehemet  AU  and 
Suleiman  Pasha  have  effected  a  junction.  The 
Eussiansare  preparingto  attack  several  Turkish 
positions. 

No  further  news  has  yet  been  received  regard- 
ing the  battle  in  the  Schipka  Pass.  The  capture 
of  the  village  of  Schipka  should  not  be  con- 
founded with  the  repuL«  of  the  Turks  at  the 
southern  entry  of  the  pass.  The  village,  which 
is  two  miles  from  the  entrance  of  the  pass, 
was.  as  reported,  evacuated  by  the  Russians, 
who  fell  back  behind  their  redoubts.  It  should 
be  understood  that  after  the  actions  at  Teni- 
Saghra  and  Eski-Saghra.  Gen.  Gourkho  retired, 
unmolested,  by  the  Hainkoi  Pass,  while  the 
Grand  IKike  Nicholas  and  Prince  Eugene,  after 
with  difaculty  extricating  their  force  from  the 
Eski-Saghra  defile  in  the  lower  Balkans,  re- 
treated by  the  Schipka  Pass,  which  has  re- 
mained cruarded  by  Russian  infantry  and  guns 
established  there  ever  since  the  pass  "was  taken. 

The  latest  Russian  official  telegram,  dated 
Gomy-Studeni,  Aug.  23,  says:  "  Our  troops  in 
the  Schipka  Pas.«  have  behaved  heroically.  Af- 
ter they  repulsed  10  attacks  on  Aug.  '21  the 
Turks  only  Kept  ■  up  a  destiltorv  fire.  Three 
guns  of  a  Turkish  battery  were  clismounted  by 
our  fire  and  fell  over  the  cliffs.  The 
Turkish  forces  do  not  diminish.  Our 
reinforcements  arrived  last  night,  some 
having         marched         40,  and         some. 

56  versts  in  one  day.  Our  losses 
axe  comparatively  ^l^t,  but,  unfortu- 
nately, we  have  many  oMcers  Aors  de  combat 
The  Turkish  losses  are  enormous.  Gens.  Dow-

LoxDOS,  Aug.  23. — ^A  special  edition  of 
■Jie  Evening  Standard  has  the  following  Bu- 
;harest  dispatch,  dated  this  afternoon:  "The 
Turks  attacked  Timova  yesterday,  but  were 
repulsed.  The  enzagement  was  recommenced 
co-day.  Osman  Pasha's  troops  made  an  att&ck 
^n  Selvi,  with  the  intention  of  advancing  upon 
Sabrova,  but  Prince  Mirsky  repulsed  them,  even 
before  the  arrival  of  a  division  which  he  asked 
for  as  a  reinforcement. - 

JIaschesteb,  Aug.  23. — A  dispatch  from 
EsM-Djuma  to  the  dtardian,  dated  Tuesday, 
eays :  "'Ldent.-Gen.  Mehemet  AU  left  th.8 
morning  for  Basgrad  to  inspect  the  camp  and 
defensive  works,  after  which  he  will  return  to 
Shumla.  There  are  60,000  troops  at  Osman- 
Baxar,  which  place  is  entirely  deserted  by  the 
inhabitants." 

liOSDOs,  Aug.  23. — Telegrams  from  the  seat 
of  war  seem  to  show  that  the  Turks  have  at 
last  commenced  serious  operations  against 
the  Russian  positions  from  three  sides 
simultaneously.  Thus  a  Bucharest  telegram 
states  that  Osman  Pasha  commands  in  person 
a  strong  reconnoitring  force  near  Selvi.  This 
reconnoissance  may  account  for  the  previous 
report  of  an  attack  on  Selvi.  A  Rus- 
sian official  telegram.  dated  Gomy- 
Studeni,  Aug.  22,  evening,  says  as  well  as  at- 
tacks In  the  direction  of  Schipka  and  Selvi, 
the  Turks  have  made  attempts  to  break 
in  upon  the  Russian  outposts  on  the

from  Mehemet  Ali  claims  that  the  Turks  cap- 
tured two  guns,  many  prisoners,  and  great  quan> 
tity  of  ammtinition  and  rifles  at  Eski-Djuma." 

The  Daily  yfAca"  correspondent  telegraphs 
from  the  Russian  Head-quarters,  Wednesday, 
as  follows :  **  It  is  a  nervous  time  for  the 
Russians  until  their  strength  increases  suf- 
fldenUy  to  put  them  comparatively  at 
ease.  Any  d&y  a  blow  may  fall  and  strain  their 
resources  to  the  utmost.  The  Turks  are  active- 
ly menacing  the  Bnssian  positions  aH  around, 
and  by  no  means  allow  the  Russians  to  build  on 
the  assoxance  that  there  Trill  be  no 
hard  fighting  until  the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas 
gives  the  signal  to  begin.  The  defenders  of 
the  Schipka  rase  consist  of  but  20  companies, 
consisting  of  relays  of  the  Bulgarian  Legion 
and  a  few  battalions  of  the  Ninth  Russian 
IMvision.  The  SecondDivisionhastheref  ore  been 
diverted  from  its  intended  destination  before 
Plevna,  and  is  marching  on  the  Schipk'a  Pass, 
one  brigade  being  at  Gabrova  to-day,  and 
the  other  at  Timova.  In  a  recent 
visit  to  the  front  before  Plevna,  I  wag 
surprised  to  find  that  so  few  reinforcements 
aa  yet  had  reached  the  Russian  troops  hold- 
ing it.  They  are  unquestionably  inferior 
in  numbers  to  Osman  Pasha's  army.  Com- 
pared with  before  the  battle,  there  is 
but  an  addition  of  Eoumanians  and  the 
Siicteenth  Division,  but  to-day  are  crossing 
the  Danube  8.000  reserves  to  fill  up  the  gaps  in 
the  Ninth  Corps.  On  the  other  band 
Prince  Schackosfcoy  has  marched  his  brig- 
ade of  the  Thirty-second  Infantry  Division  back 
to  his  original  position  confronting  Osman  Pasha. 
Accordingly,  on  the  Plevna  front,  when  the 
Ninth  Corps  gets  its  complement  the  Russians 
•rill  have  two  army  corps — the  Fourth  4nd 
Sinth — including  the  forces  watching  Lovata 
and  Selvi.  I  roughly  estimate  the  whole  Rus- 
sian force  confronting  Plevna  at  from  65,000 
to  75,000  men.  There  can  be  no  ques- 
tion of  their  anxious  eagerness  to  be 
^owed  to  fight  again.  Indeed,  they  do  not 
smother  their  murmurs  at  the  delay,  which 
I  think  will  not  be  as  long  now  as 
ittost  people  imagine.  The  Russian  authorities 
■re  greatly  pleased  with  the  appearance  and 
apparent  efSciency  of  the  Roumanian  artillery. 
^o  Roumanian  troops  are  everywhere  now 
spoken  of  with  a  consideration  not  pre^•iously 
^^eed.  The  bulk  of  the  reinforcements 
are  somewhat  delayed  on  the  way  from  the 
Russian  base,  but  the  cavalry  division  of  the 
Guards  is  expected  to  cross  the  Danube 
in  a  forthnight  and  a  brigade  per  day  to  follow 
in  a  steady  stream.  The  water  is  bad  here. 
The  Emperor  has  been  slightly  indisposed,  but 

is  now  quite  recovered."

London,  Ang.  23,— The  latest  news  from 
Turkey  shows  that  there  is  a  renewal  of  activ- 
ity not  only  at  the  actual  scene  of  operations 
between  .'the  Turks  and  Russians,  but  also 
in  places  where  disturbance  has  hitherto 
been  merely  latent.  Thus  Renter's  Athens 
telegram  announces  that  an  insurrection  has 
broken  oiit  in  Crete.  The  Ti>rks  have  taken 
refuge  in  the  fortresses.  The  Christians  have 
retired  to  the  mountains.  Two  engage- 
ments have  been  fought,  one  in  the  De- 
partment of  Canea  and  the  other  in  Retimo. 
These,  although  animportant  Id  theraeetves, 
unquestionably  commenced  there.  [Note.— To 
judge  from  correspondence  published  in  the 
London  jwpers  describing  the  excited  state  of 
Greece,  it  seems  that  the  Government  will 
hardly  be  able  to  avoid  action  if -the  movement 
in  the  neighboring  Provinces  of  Turkey  con- 
tinues.] 

Eeuter's  dispatch  from  Constantinople  states 
that  the  Porte  is  taking  measures  to  prevent 
the  enrollment  of  volunteers  for  Greece. 
A  flotilla  of  Turki.ih  gnn-twats  and

Nineteen    districts    of    Thessaly,    in    the    re- 

fion  of  Mount  Athos  and  Larissa,  have  been 
eclared  in  a  state  of  siege.  The  Ottoman  com- 
mander at  Larissa  telegraphs,  Aug.  22, 
that  a  battalion  and  a  half  of  'Turkish  infantry, 
with  two  guns,  defeated  200  Greek  bandits  who 
landed  seven  hours'  march  from  Larissa.  The 
Turks  captured  122  rifles  and  a  quantity  of  am- 
munition.    The  Greeks  fled  to  the  woods. 

It  is  reported  that  the  Greek  Jlinister  at  Con- 
stantinople has  assured  the  Porte  that  the  in* 
srirgents  in  Thessaly  are  simply  brigands.

REMODELING  TBE  MAP  OF  EUROPE.

WHICH  ARE  NOT  TET  IJILLT  DETER- 
MINED UPON- THE  GREJVT  POWERS  AS 
MAP-MAKEES — THE  LATEST  POLITICAL 
CURIOSITIES. 
'r  From  our  Oim  Corrftfiondent, 

,'i  Bucharest,  Saturday,  Aug.  4,  1877. 
"^^The  gravity  of  the  situation,  from  a  politi- 
cal even  more  than  from  a  military  point  of 
view,  is  exciting  much  anxiety  among  the  Rou- 
manians, of  Whom  many  do  not  hesitate  to  ex- 
press their  doubts  as  to  the  wisdom  of  the  poUcy 
of  "action"^opted  by  the  Government,  and 
their  regrets  that,  not  being  strong  enough  to 
resist,  they  did  not  limit  their  participation  in 
the  war  to  a  purely  defensive  attitude.  The 
elder  brother  of  the  Prime  Minister,  Mr.  Deme- 
trius Bratiano.  has  published  a  clever  pamphlet 
in  this  sense  imploring  his  countrymen  to  halt 
while  there  is  yet  time,  and  not  rush  blindly 
into  a  conflict  for  which  neither  the  financial 
nor  the  militatT-  resources  of  the  country  are 
sufficient  to  secure  a  successful  issue.  Utrfortu- 
nately.  the  Prince  is  obstinately  determined 
upon  proving  that  he  has  the  abilities  of  a  great 
General,  and  as  he  Is  aided  and  abetted  in  his 
martial  ardor  by  his  Cabinet,  and  as  the  wine 
has  been  drawn,  the  nation  will  be  forced  to 
drink  it,  whether  the  taste  be  a  pleasant  one  or 
not.  No  one  anticipates  any  real  danger  of  a 
Turkish  invasion,  but  a  continuance  of  Rus.sian 
lack  of  success  may  cause  certain  complication^, 
whose  consequences  will  be  grave  to  all  the  na- 
tions of  Europe,  although  they  be  not  direct 
participators  in  the  Russo-Turkish  struggle.  As 
matters  stand  now,  the  necessity  for  the  with- 
drawal of  the  Imperial  Guard  from 
Poland  becomes  more  and  more  proba- 
1»le  with  each  reverse  of  the  Army  of 
the  Danube,  and  it  is  this  eventuality  which 
may  precipitate  the  catastrophe.  I  have  seen 
many  letters  from  Warsaw,  and  in  all  Is  con- 
firmed the  report  that  great  though  smothered 
agitation  prevails  there,  kept  down  for  the  time 
being  by  the  presence  of  strong  Russian  garri- 
sons, but  ready  to  break  out  as  soon  as  these 
shall  be  diminished  or  withdrawn.  In  well 
informed  political  circles  here  it  Is  asserted  that, 
with  a  view  to  this  eventuality,  an  arrangement 
was  made  last  year  between  the  Cabinets  of 
Berlin  and  St.  Petersburg  for  an  occupation  of 
the  Polish  Provinces  by  German  troops.  If  such 
a  measure  should  become  necessary.  No  one 
has  ever  doubted  that  the  chief  promoter  of  the 
present  war  was  Prince  Bismarck,  who,  it  is  as- 
serted by  people  in  a  position  to  know,  and  who 
weigh  carefully  their  words,  that  the  Chancel- 
lor has,  with  the  collaboration  of  Prince  Gort- 
schakoff  and  Gen.  Ifrnatieff.  devised  a  plan  for 
the  remodeling  of  the  map  of  Europe,  to  which 
both  Russia  and  Italy  have  given  their  unquali- 
fied adhesion.  This 'treaty  will  be  followed,  at 
the  proper  moment,  by  a  war  with  the  nations 
of  Western  Europe,  and  particularly  with 
France,  whose  partition  is  to  be  the  price  paid 
bv  Bus  sia  for  Germany's  moral  support  until 
s^ter  the  conclusion  of  satisfactory  terms  with 
vanquished  Turkey.  Bulgaria,  Boumania,  and 
one-half  of  Servia,  with  a  certain  amount  of 
territory  In  Asia  Minor,  are  to  be  annexed  to 
the  Eussian  Empire.  Should  Austria  consent 
to  join  the  alliance,  she  will  receive  Bosnia,  the 
Herzegovina.  Servia  west  of  the  Morava  Valley, 
and  Roumelia— that  is  to  say  Bulgaria — 
south  of  the  Htemtis,  Epirus,  Thessaly,  Thrace, 
and  Macedonia  as  far  as  Salonica,  which  is  to 
become  an  Austrian  port.  If  she  refuses  to  give 
her  adhesion,  Hungary  and  Transylvania  are 
to  be.  divided  between  Germany  and  Russia,  as 
alsojGalicia;  the  other  provinces  to  enter  Into 
the  'Germanic  Confederation,  with  the  excep- 
tron'of  the  jTyrol,  lllyria,  and  Dalmatla,  which 
are  to  be  given  to  Italy.  The  Bosphorusis  to  be  . 
opened  to  the  commerce  of  all  nations,  with 
Constantinople  as  a  free  port  under  the  collec- 
tive guarantee  of  the  high  contracting pailies. 
France  is  to  be  invited,  and  if  necessary  com- 
pelled, to  make  the  sacrifice  of  Belfort  and  the 
remainder  of  Lorraine  to  Germany;  of  Nice 
and  Savoy  to  the  kingdom  of  Italy,  "roulon  is 
to  become  an  Italian  port.  Holland,  Belgium, 
and  eventuaUy  all  Poland,  are  to  be  annexed  to 
the  German  Empire. 

It  is  maintained  that  the  text  of  this  secret  ar- 
rangement Is  in  the  possession  of  the  French 
and  English  Cabinets,  and  that  the  knowledge 
of  the  perils  in  store  is  the  cause  of  the  change 
of  Marshal  MacMahon's  policy  toward  the  Radi- 
cals, who  are  ready  to  tiwart  measures  of  the 
most  vital  necessity  provided  they  can  thus  ob- 
tain some  personal  or  party  benefit ;  of  the 
movement  of  British  troops  to  the  Levant  and  of 
the  mobilization  now  imminent  of  the  Austrian 
Army.  I  give  this  combination  for  what  it  is 
worth ;  rather,  indeed,  by  way  of  a  political 
curiosity  than  as  being  imminent,  although  its 
realization  is  far  from  being  an  improbability, 
and  is  quite  generally  believed  here,  where  the 
fears  of  the  population  are  increased  by  the  cir- 
cumstance that,  although  all  the  foreign  mili- 
tary attach^  have  left  the  Bnssian  Head- 
quarters, the  representative  of  Austria. is  known 
to  have  been  permanently  withdrawn  by  his 
Government. 

The  Turks,  however,  have  something  to  say 
about  the  matter,  and  it  may  be  they  will  assist 
some  of  the  powers  in  arranging  the  map  of 
the  future.  I  gave  in  pne  of  my  recent  letters 
a  r4sTim6  of  the  conditions  of  peace  imagined 
by  the  Czar  and  Prince  Gortschakoff.  From  the 
Boikiret,  (the  -'Truth,")  the  official  journal  of 
Constantinople,  I  translate  the  following,  which 
is  considered  by  the  Turks  to  be  the  only  one 
capable  of  securing  a  dimble  settlement  of  the 
Eastern  question :        /^ 

Jfrjt— ladependenee  of  the  Cancastaa  pepnlatisns 
bom  tha  Black  Sea  to  tb^  Oaniian. 
Swond— Annexation  to  the  Ottoman  Empin  of  the 


Snadaa  PioTince  of  Tiills,  which,  by  the  establish, 
nent  of  the  independence  of  the  Cancssas,  will  be 
virtually  separated  from  the  central  Government. 

Third — Establishment  of  a  line  of  fortifications 
along  the  Pmth,  to  beearrisoned  by  Ottoman  troops, 
the  incapacity  of  the  Wallachiaiis  to  defend  their  ter- 
ritory being  notorious  and  admitted  even  by  them- 
selves. 

Fourth — The  expense  of  these  garrisons  to  be  de- 
flared  by  the  united  Principalities,  whose  annual 
tribute  shall  be  prouortionally  increased.

all  the  great  rivers  which  are  their  trlbntai  les :  this 
clause  to  apply  to  all  the  arsenals  and  dock-yards  at 
present  belongins:  to  Russia  along  these  waters.

yinth — The  reconstruction  of  Poland  as  a  distinct 
State,  with  an  autonomous  and  Independent  Govern-

This  docnment  Is  curious,  aa  sbowing  the  diver- 
gence of  views  between  Russian  and  Tnndsh  states- 
men.  

RUSSIAN  NAVIGATION  RULES. 

STRINGENT     CONDITIONS     IMPOSED     ON     ALL 
MERCHANT  VESSELS  ENTERING     RUSSIAN 


Washington,  Ang.  23.— The  following 
regulations  have  been  issued  by  the  Russian 
Government  to  be  observed  by  vessels  entering 
and  sailing  from  certain  Russian  ports : 

War  having  been 'declared  on  the  12th  of  April 
last,  entrance  into  and  departure  from  the  Port  of 
Odessa,  those  of  the  Tamaa,  of  the  Ihiieper,  of  the 
Bug.  in  the  Strait  of  Kertch,  and  in  the  Bay  of  Se- 
bastopol,  is  allowed  to  vessels  only  on  the  loUowing 
conditions,  whicb,  although  they  are  not  pro\ided  for 
by  the  International  Maritime'  law,  may  be  estab- 
hsfaed  at  the  present  time,  when  the  ports  are  pro- 
tected by  obstructions  in  the  shape  of  mines  whose 
passers  must  remain  secret : 

Rr»f— Every  vessel  on  its  srrirsl  must  heave  to 
outside  of  the  line  of  the  mines,  where  Russian  offi* 
cers  with  their  crew  shall  go  on  board,  and.  takizig 
charge  of  the  said  vessel,  shall  bring  it  into  port, 
after  having  become  convinced  of  the  regularity  of 
the  ship's  papers. 

Second — The  Captain  of  the  said  vessel  shall  sign  a 
written  pledge,  both  for  himself  and  passengers,  that 
during  the  whole  time  of  sailing  through  the  passes 
no  person  shall  remain  on  deck  or  try  to  see  through 
the  port-holes  or  scuttles  the  route  followed  by  the 
vessel. 

Third — The  same  conduct  shall  positively  be  ob. 
served  when  merchant  vessels  leave  the  porta,  that 
is  to  say.  a  Russian  officer  and  crew  shall  take  charge 
of  said  vessel  according  to  articles  1  and  2. 

Fmirth — In  case  of  the  appearance  of  an  armed 
cruiser  in  places  wbonce  it  would  be  Impossible  to 
observ'e  the  entrance  and  departure  of  vessels,  the 
Russian  authorities  shall  require  it  to  be  withdrawn 
to  a  certain  distance  until  the  vessel  shall  have  been 
able  to  effect  its  entrance  or  departure.  Until  this 
formality  shall  have  been  accomplished  no  vessel 
shall  enter  or  depart.  But  at  the  same  time  Captains 
shall  be  notified  that  hostile  crui.sers  might  be  un. 
willing  to  consent  to  this  proposition,  and  that  they 
might  Immediately  commence  hostilities.  In  this 
case  vessels  stationed  in  tlie  port  and  being  thus  de- 
barred from'lcavinz  it  expose  themselves  inevitably 
to  slU  the  hazards  of  the  enemy's  fire. 


SENATOR  MORTON'.'?  ILLNESS. 


NO  M.4TEBIAL  CHANGE  IN    HIS     CONDITION — 
'"  BELIEF  THAT  HE   WILL   RECOVER. 
Speriai  Dispatrh  to  th^  ynn-  York  TVm^x 

Intjianapolts,  .\ug.  23. — Dr.  James  H. 
Woodbum  returned  from  Richmond  this  even- 
ing. He  went  over  last  night  to  consult  with 
Dr.  Thompson  in  regard  to  Senator  Morton. 
He  reports  that  the  condition  of  the  Senator  Is 
not  changed  m^rially  from  vesterday.  He 
rested  well  during  the  night,  and  is  in  good 
spirits.  His  appetite  craves  more  than  is  pru- 
dent for  him  to  eat,  and  this  has  retarded  his 
recovery.  In  answer  to  a  question  as  to  his  ul- 
timate recovery,  the  Doctor  responded  that  It 
would  be  difflciflt  to  say.  but  he  thought  there 
would  be  at  least  a  partial  recovery.  The  ?«ena- 
tor's  faculties  are  as  keen  and  as  bright  as  in  the 
best  days  of  his  life. 

Later. — A  special  from  Richmond  just  re- 
ceived s»ys  that  Dr.  Bliss  has  arrived  and  fully 
concurs  in  the  opinion  that  the  recent  unfavora- 
ble symptoms  in  .Senator  Morton's  case  are  in  no 
sense  an  aggravation  of  paralysis,  but  arise 
from  indigestion.  After  a  careful  examination 
Dr.  Bliss  gives  it  as  his  opinion  that  there  is 
every  reason  to  believe  the  Senator  will  recover.

Special  DUpateh  to  the  Kne-  York  Timea. 

ViNELAND,  X.  J.,  Aug.  23. — Father  Vivet 
has  at  last  relinquished  all  hope  of  forcing  Mrs. 
Maggioli,  by  legal  means  or  otherwise,  to  re- 
move the  remaiijs  of  her  husband  from  the 
Catholic  Cemeterr.  Backed  by  the  moral  senti- 
ment of  the  community,  the  plucky  httle 
Italian  woman,  weak  and  frail  as  she  is,  has 
been  more  than  a  match  for  the  crafty  and  cun- 
ning priest,  who  has  used  every  means  in  his 
power — threats,  protests,  and  appeals  to  her 
religious  scruples— to  move  her  ffom  her 
resolve  not  to  have  the  memory  of 
her  husband  insulted  and  his  resting 
place  desecrated.  Appalled  by  the  tide 
of  public  sentiment  which  set  in  when  he  had 
his  outrageous  order  served  upon  her,  com- 
manding her  to  have  the  body  of  her  husband 
disinterred  from  the  grave  that  she  had  bought 
and  paid  for,  and  overwhelmed  by  the  disgrace- 
ful character  of  the  disclosures  that  his  inhu- 
man action  has  caused  to  bp  made  concerning 
his  own  connection  with  the  affair,  Father 
Vivet  gave  to  the  public  to-day  a 
statement  which  is  an  abject  confession 
that  he  has  richly  merited  the  shame 
and  contempt  that  have  fallen  upon 
him.  He  has  backed  fairly  and  squarely 
down  from  his  first  nosition.  acknowledging  his 
inabiUtr  to  compel  obedience  to  his  priestly 
rule  and  dictation,  and  that  he  has  raised  an  is- 
sue too  big  for  him  to  manage.  He  recedes 
from  every  point  that  he  strenuously  held  to  in 
the  outset,  and. expresses  a  belief  that  the  mat- 
ter can  now  be  quietly  settled  without  an  ap- 
peal to  law.  He  asserts  that  Mrs.  Gregory, 
rather  than  have  any  trial  in  the  courts,  or  dif- 
ficulty in  the  church,  like  a  dutiful  and  yield- 
ing member  that  she  is,  will  consent  to  almost 
anything,  even  to  permitting  MaggioU's  bodv  to 
lie  in  the  lot  which  she  pretends  is  hers,  titow 
baseless  this  pretense  is  the  readers  of  The 
Times  already  know,  and,  as  if  to  make  the  re- 
nunciation of  Mrs.  Gregory's  absurd  claim  to 
the  said  lot  all  the  more  contemptible  in  the  eyes 
of  the  people,  he  admits  that  there  is  room  for 
another  grove  between  Gregory's  and  Maggioli's, 
In  the  first  interview  had  with  Mrs.  Gregory 
by  The  Times  correspondent,  she  positively  re- 
fused, under  any  circumstances,  to  consent  to 
have  Maggioli's  body  remain  beside  her  hus- 
band's, and  in  the  second  interview  she  was 
quite  as  earnest  in  the  expression  of  her  unwil- 
lingness to  have  any  trouble  about  the  matter. 
Rather  than  go  into  any  controversy,  she  as- 
s^ted  that  she  would  disinter  Gregory's  body 
and  remove  it  for  burial  to  Newark,  where  she 
had  desired  to  convey  his  remains  at  his  death. 
In  regard  to  the  report  of  Bishop  Corri- 
gan's  intention  to  remove  Father  Vivet 
from  his  pastorate  h  ere,  aa  made  public 
in  a  New- York  paper  this  morning,  it  is  certain- 
ly premature  anj^  can  have  no  foundation  in 
fact.  It  is  known  to  prominent  Catholics  here, 
with  absolute  certainty,  that  the  Bishop  is 
greatly  displeased  at  the  priest's  conduct,  and 
does  not  make  the  slightest  attempt  to  condone 
or  excuse  it :  but  it  is  just  as  certain  that  they 
are  wholly  uninformed  as  to  his  intended  re- 
moval, though  such  action  would  greatly  please 
the  majority.  At  present  there  is  not  the 
slightest  reason  to  believe  that  it  has  been 
determined  to  give  him  a  charsre  elsewhere, 
much  less  that  his  successor  has  been  named. 
The  ItsJians  have  responded  liberally  to  the  ap- 
peal for  pecuniary  aid  for  Jlra.  Maggioli,  and 
nor  present  necessities  are  well  supplied.  The* 
answer  of  E,  M.  Turner,  attorney  for  Mrs. 
Magsioli,  to  Father  Vivet  will  be  given  to  the 
pnbuc  on  Saturday.  It  has  been  unavoidably 
aeUure^  ^ 


DEPARTURE  FROM  NEW-HAMFSHIRE. 

ENTHUSIASTIC  RECEPTION  AT  MANCHESTER 
AND  NASHUA— MOBS  SPEECHES  BT  PRESI- 
DENT HAYES,  SECRETARY  EVARTS,  AT- 
TORNEY-GENERAL DEVENS,  AND  POST- 
MASTER-GENEBAL  KEY — THE  DISTIN- 
GUISHED TOURISTS  ON  THEIR  WAY  TO 
WASHINGTON.    ' 

Manchester,  N.  H.,  Aug.  23.— The 
committee  appointed  by  the  Reception  Com- 
mittee of  Manchester  to  go  to  Concord  and 
escort  the  Presidential  party  to  Manchester 
arrived  there  at  8:10  this  morning.  The 
party  soon  left  for  Manchester  in  a  special  train. 
The  car  containing  the  Presidential  party  and 
guests  was  met  at  Hookset  by  a  large  crowd.  Th& 
President  was  greeted  by  continuous  cheering 
as  he  appeared  on  the  rear  platform.  Gen. 
NattHead,of  Hooksett,^  introduced  the  Presi- 
dent,  who  said : 

Ladies  aud  Gkstlkmbn  :  There  is  some  uncer- 
tainty as  to  how  lon^  this  train  will  stop  ;  therefore 
I  will  begin  by  the  usual  exchange  of  salutations — 
good  momicg  feUow-dtizens  and  good  bye— if  I 
should  have  no  better  opuorttmity  to  say  that ;  this 
is  our  fourth  dav  in  New-Hampshire.  Entering  the 
State  rather  in  the  northern  part,  crossing  the  Con- 
necticut above  Windsor,  we  passed  into  the  moim- 
tains,  spending  two  days  there,  and  then  from  the 
mountAms  to  Concord,  via  Plymouth,  and  there  we 
have  been  greeted  with  a  reception  so  much  warmer, 
so  much  better,  than  we,  as  indi^'iduaU,  are  en- 
titled to  have,  that  one  is  almost  at  Iors 
for  an  explanntion  for  it;  and  yot  I  suppose  it  to 
mean  that  the  people  of  New-Hampshire  are  good 
American  citizens  in  all  thincn.  The  State  believes 
in  government,  believes  in  nuion,  believes  in  equal 
human  rights,  and  therefore  her  ritlzens  are  glad  to 
meet  those  who  are  so  connected  with  the  Govern- 
ment as  to  have  influence  in  regard  to  tho.se  various 
questions.  I  do  not  take  it  to  be  an  indorboment  of 
the  views  -we  have,  of  all  the  measures  we  adopt,  and 
vet  we  have  a  hope  that  the  people  of  this  town  be- 
lieve that  we  intend  to  do  the  right  thin^.  [Cries  of 
"Good  !"  and  applause.]  I  do  not  enter  into  any  dis- 
cussion of  measures  adopted,  nor  hito  any  defense  of 
them ;  that  would  be  very  idle.  If  they  ore  wrong,  the 
people  will  soon  understand  it,  or  they  understand 
already,  and  our  ailment  cannot  help  it.  If  they 
are  right,  they  will,  of  course,  be  approved  sooner  or 
later,  and  for  this  judgment  of  the  present  and 
future,  I  for  one  am  compelled  and  am  willing  to 
leave  my  pubUc  and  official  condnct.  [Applause.) 
And  so  I  think,  my  friends,  we  are  safficleutly 
acquainted.  Now  I  will  introduce  to  you  some  of  - 
the  gentlemen  who  are  associated  with  me  in  the 
manaeement  of  this  lai^e  piece  of  machinery  which 
is  called  the  Government.  First  allow  me  to  intro- 
duce to  you  the  gentleman  whose  appointment  iumy 
Cabinet  oansed  some  dlsapp<)intrnent  and  some 
disapproval,  1  doubt  not,  amon;j  mv  Kood  Republican 
friends.  I  did  not  consult  any  oi  you  about  It  :  I 
think  most  of  you  would  have  said  no:  [laughter;! 
but  the  longer  I  have  associated  with  Judge  Key, 
tlie  Post  master- General,  the  more  confident  I  have 
felt-that  I  have  made  no  mistake.  He  was  on  the 
wTong  side  at  a  very  important  juncture :  he  was  on 
the  wrong  side  at  a  less  im^rtant  juncture  ;  but  he  is 
getting  right.  Indeed,  he  is  almost  altogether  right. 
I  think  by  the  time  we  take  him  througli  New-hng- 
land  he  will  be  about  as  good  a  Yankee  as  any  of  vou. 

Gen.  Xatt  Head,  of  Hooksett,  said:  ** Before 
Judge  Key  comes  out,  here  is  the  most  important 
member  of  the  Cabinet.  Mrs.  Hayes,  the  wife  of 
tbe  President."  Mrs.  Hayes  wa^  greeted  with 
hearty  cheers,  which  she  acknowledged.  (>en. 
Key  said: 

Lapies  and  Genti-EMEn  :  I  am  very  happy  to 
greet  yon  tliis  morning.  You  have  a  Postmaster  in 
this  town,  and  I  hope  you  have  a  good  one.  if  you 
do  not  you  must  let  me  know  and  I  will  give  yon  a 
,ri>od  one.  [Applause- )  In  the  Post  Office  Depart- 
ment we  are  verj'  anxious  to  have  a  discreet  man, 
one  that  wont  intermeddle  with  secrets  that  may 
be  passing  through  his  department.  If  husband  or 
wife  writes  a  sharp  letter  to  their  other  half  he  must 
not  tell  of  it.  and  if  a  girl  writes  a  very  sweet  letter 
to  her  sweetheart,  he  must  not  lot  it  be  known. 
TTicse  things  we  require  to  be  kept  entirely  secret, 
except  to  those  to  whom  letters  are  directed'.  I  have 
been  very  much  gratified  with  my  Wsit  to  New-Eng- 
land. I  find,  coming  from  a  far-off  land,  the  ideas  of 
which  have  been  so  antagonistic  to  yours,  that 
it  is  natural  that  I  should  feel  an  interest 
in  your  peoole-  Well,  I  find  fine  looking 
r.nd  clever  men.  a  great  many  of  them  ;  I  find  beanti- 
ful  women,  and  a  great  many  of  them  too.  I  take  it, 
after  all.  that  If  vou  pet  a'  Yankee  and  a  Southern 
man  together,  and  get  them  to  talk  together  a  while, 
or.  if  you  please,  a  Northern  lady  and  a  Sonthem 
lady,  tney  would  find  that  all  of  their  differences  are 
more  ideal  tlian  real-  We  are  all  American  citizens. 
and  that  great  cause  of.  contnjversey  that  has  existed 
between  this  section  and  tlie  South  for  so  long  a  pe- 
riod exists  no  longer,  and  there  is  no  good  reasua  Why 
we  should  not  be  the  best  of  friends. 

The  President  then  introduced  Attorney-Gen- 
eral Deveus,  who  said : 

I  have  enjoyed,  fellow-citizens,  my  visit  extremely 
in  New-Hampshire.  I  have  seen  so  many  evidences 
of  thrift,  of  prosperity,  of  education,  of  all  that  fol- 
lows in  the  train  of  these  advantages,  that  I  have 
wondered  very  tnucli  what  the  prosecuting  officers 
have  to  do  up  in  this  region,  who;;*  duties 
are.  as  you  know,  to  superintend  the 
execution  of  the  laws  against  crime, 
and  I  really  began  to  feel  it  a  little  lonelv  until  I  was 
joined  by  my  friend  Attorney -Genfral  Tappan.  of 
New-Hampshire.  Col-  Tappan  and  I  have  been  won- 
dering, I  have  seen  so  Uttie  evidence  of  crime  and 
wrong,  what  the  Attorney-General  of  New-Hamp- 
shir«had  to  do  ;  but  it  is  necessary,  I  suppose,  with 
all  great  Govemmeifts  that  there  should  be  with  all 
of  our  civil  service  reform  a  few  sinecures — some 
oflSces  in  which  people  have  nothing  to  do — and  the 
best  advice  I  can  give  to  the  people  of  New-Hamp- 
shire is  to  appoint  an  Attorney-General  as  a  regular 
officer,  and  to  so  conduct  themselves  that  he  shall 
have  little  or  nothing  to  do. 

President  Haves  then  introduced  Secretary 
"Evarts,  who  spoW  as  follows  : 

Ladies  a>t>  Gentlemen  :  This  town  will  always 
be  famous,  as  those  who  have  read  of  your  pollticU 
conflicts  know,  by  teaching  a  great  lesson  in  educa- 
tion. Your  townsman,  tien.  Head,  was  made  im- 
pressively to  feel  that  the  people  of  New-Hampshire 
insist  upon  a  man  being  able  to  spell  his  own  name. 
[Cries  of  "Good,  good!']  It  is  a  lesson  that  never 
will  be  forgotten  by  him,  and  never^will  be  forgotten 
by  any  of  us.  You  had  your  own  way  about  that, 
and  then  you  had  the  Government  too,  and  it  is  a 
great  thing  for  people  to  have  tneir  own  way  and  let 
other  people  also  have  their  own  way.  It  is 
said  of  us  Yankees  that  we  are  meddlesome,  but  this 
is  not  true.  If  there  is  any  one  tldng  characteristic 
of  a  Yankee.  It  is  the  carefulness  with  which  he 
tends  to  his  own  business ;  but  then  he  considers 
everybody's  businees  his  own  business.  [Applause 
and  laughter.  ] 

At  this  point  the  train  started,  amid  the 
cheers  of  the  crowd  and  much  excitement, 

Manchester,  N.  H..  Aug.  23.— A  special 
train  from  Concord  containing  President  Hayes 
and  party  reached  the  depot  here  at  9:20  A.  M. 
The  distinguished  company  were  received  with 
salvos  of  artillery,  the  nngiug  of  bells,  and  the 
plaudits  of  the  multitude.  Gov.  Prescott  briefly 
introduced  the  President  to  e.^-Mayor  Cross  and 
Acting  Mayor  Devine,  who  presented  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Cabinet  and  laaies.  The  excellent 
arrangements  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Repub- 
lic, under  the  command  of  Levi  L.  Aldrich,  en- 
abled the  party  to  take  carriages  without  delay. 
Through  the  mill-yard  for  nearly  a  mile  thou- 
sandbs  of  operatives  were  ranged  in  lines  on 
each  side,  and  they  also  filled  the  windows  of 
the  great  buildings  to  greet  the  distinguished 
party.  During  the  entire  march  on  Elm,  Han- 
over, Beech,  and  Lowell  streets  bells  were  ring- 
ing, and  the  places  of  business  and  private  resi- 
dences were  elaborately  decorated  with  flags, 
streamers,  and  ornamental  devices.  At  the 
Catholic  Orphans'  Home,  on  Hanover-street,  a 
large  number  of  children  were  ranged  in  line 
on  the  adjacent  lawn.  The  streets  were  thronged 
by  dense  masses  of  people  along  the  entire 
route.  At  10:45  A.  SiL  the  head  of  the  column 
reached  Smith's  Opera-house,  which  was  crowd- 
ed, and  as  the  President  and  his  suite  ascended 
to  the  platform  they  were  received  with  hearty 
and  long-continued' applause.  When  the  cheer- 
ing ceased  Mayor  Patrick  A.  Devine  introduced 
President  Hayes,  who  spoke  as  follows : 

Lapies  akd  Fbxends  :  Onr  reception  and  welcome 
everywhere  in  New-Hampshire  has  been  gratifying 
and  hearty,  but  nowhere,  I  assure  yoo,  has  it  oeeu 
more  gratifying  and  certainly  nowhere  warmer  than 
in  Manchester.  [Applause.]  Wej  thank  you  for 
such  a  welcome  and  such  a  reception.  We  are 
grateful  to  the  -  good  taste  of  your  ances- 
tors whose  elms  and  maples  have  some- 
what tempered  the  warmth  of  the  recep- 
tion. [Applause.]  Onr  time  is  so  limited  that  tbe 
committee  desire  to  suggest  to  you  the  impossibility 
of  going  through  that  part  of  the  reception  ceremony 
which  consists  of  han^haking.  I  mast  say  to  yon, 
as  I  said  to  a  number  of  audiences  at  different  places, 
that  I  will  be  glad  that  it  be  luidentood  by 
the  ladies  and  gentlemen,  yotutg  and  old, 
that  instead  of  an  actual  shake  of  the 
hand,  I  now  extend  to  you  wholesale 
a  hearty  Buckeye  shake.  [Applause.]  On  politics 
and  uublie  affairs  we  need  not  speak.  If  an  Admin- 
istration cannot  stand  upon  its  acta,  leaving  oat  all 
discussion  to  friends  and  adversaries,  it  cannot  stand 
at  alL  [Applause.]  Talk  and  argument  will  not 
save  it ;  therefore,  I  must  omit  all  that.  I  desire  to 
have  it  understood,  and  that,  Mrhaps,  would  be 
quite  as  well  understood  if  I  ^d  not  speak  of  it, 
that  however  defective  onr  methods,  however  mis- 
taken our  measuree,  the  end  we  aim  at  is  the  wel&re 
of  the  whole  eonntiy  and  of  all  its  inhatdtanta. 
[Applause,  and  loud  cries  of  '*Good."'i  Wa  wish  to 
see  every  part  of  the  ConatitatiDn  dE  the  United 


States— the  part  that  is  new  no  leu  than  the  part 
that  is  ol^-observed,  obeyed,  respected,  and 
loved,  in  all  parts  of  the  ©ountry.  [Ap- 
planse.]  If  in  anything  we  are  mista- 
ken, the  people  of  the  country  will 
correct  the  mistake.  As  for  me,  T  look  only  to  the 
approving  judgment  of  this  geneiatioD,  and  if  any- 
thing we  shall  do  shall  be  rememljered  so  long,  the 
approvinpjudgment  of  those  who  come  after.  And 
now,  my  mends,  I  am  sure  yon  will  be  glad  to  t>e 
introduced  to  and  to  hear  the  voices  of  some  of  those 
who  are  associated  with  me  in  keeping  council  In 
deliberating  upon  the  pnblic  affairs  of  the  eonntry. 
Three  menibers  of  the  Cabinet  are  present — Secre- 
tary of  .State  Evarts,  Postmaster-General  Key,  and 
Attorney-General  Devens,  and  I  hardly  know  which 
you  wish  to  see  first.  [A  voice,  "  All  three  of 
them."]  The  man  I  was  moat  curious  to  see,  as  I 
had  never  seen  him,  was  the  Democrat  from  Ten- 
nessee. [Applause.]  He  somehow  or  other  got  into 
the  Cabinet  to  the  astonishment,  and,  I  am  afraid, 
dismav^of  {some  of  my  friends.  [Cries  of  "No, 
no,  all  right."]  AU  right  now,  and  1  am  quite  sure, 
from  what  I  have  observed  of  his  ability  and  di|:nity, 
all  right  in  the  time  to  come.  [Applause. 1  However 
we  may  have  differed  in  the  past,  now  and  in  the 
future  we  are  likely  to  agree  ;  but  in  this  we  are 
now  agreed,  that  this  ia  on«  people,  having,  in  the 
language  of  Webster,  one  Constitution,  one  destiny. 
But  knowing  this,  as  you  do  and  I  do,  that  a  govern- 
ment based  between  Sf  rtions,  a  government  based 
between  two  races,  can  on  y  he  on  a  foundation  of 
equal  and  exact  justiec  to  all  men.  [Applause.) 
Vk  ithout  further  preface  I  introduce  to  you  Judge 
Key,  of  Tennessee.     [Cheers  and  applause.] 

Mr.  Key  said  : 

My  Peibxds:  Democrat,  as  I  always  have  been, 
J.  snppmie  it  is  hardly  necessaiT  for  me  to  justify 
myself  for  being  a  member  of  the  Cabinet  tmder  the 
present  Administration,  as  I  believe  the  Democrats 
of  your  Lepislature  have  indorsed  thiR  affair,  if  I 
remember.  [Laughter.]  I  confess  that  my  accession  to 
the  Cabinet  was  a  matter  of  bewilderment  to  myself. 
I  have  no  doubt  it  was  to  the  whole  cotmtry.  I  had 
great  apprehension  that  it  might  not  be  acceptable 
to  the  whole  Republican  Party.  As  T  said  yesterday 
it  could  not  hurt  me,  but  it  might  have  Injured  his 
Excellency  the  President  of  the  United  States.  But  I 
am  very  glad  to  see  the  manner  in  which  it 
baa  been  indorsed  by  all  men  in  all  nee- 
tions  and  in  all  parts  of  the  eonntry.  [Applause.] 
I  know  in  times  past,  gentlemen,  there  nas  been 
quite  a  conflict  of  opinion  between  the  different  sec- 
tions, especially  between  the  Northern  and  .Southern 
States.  The  views  of  our  people,  their  ideas,  their 
education,  made  them  honestly  differ.  But  I  pro- 
pose -aot  now  to  enter  into  any  discusalon,  or  even 
any  remarks  on  this  occasion.  It  is  simnJy  enough 
to  say  that  in  all  of  this  broad  land,  from  one  end  to 
the  other,  every  man  ia  free  and  slavery  no 
longer  exists.  [Applause.]  Tlie  gulf  which  has 
divided  us  has  been  closed  and  closed  forever, 
and  why  now  should  there  be  any  further  di-sagree- 
ment  between  New-England  .and  the  South  t  I  have 
been  interested  in  going  through  the  streets  of  vonr 
city.  I  had  re.-vd  something,  I  had  heard  mncti,  of 
the  manufactures  of  Manchester,  but  I  confess  I  had 
no  adequate  conception  of  them.  Now,  my  friends, 
where  do  you  get  the  cotton  ?  ^^^lywe  make  it  fur 
you  in  the  South.  You  cannot  grow  it  here. 
We  cannot  manufactnre  our  cotton,  but 
the  Tuore  cotton  you  manufacture  the 
greater  market  we  have  for  our  cotton, 
and  hence  the  interest  of  each  ought  to  bo  upheld, 
supported  and  protected  by  the  other,  [applause)  Bat 
it  has  seemed  to  me  that  we  should  forget  the  quar- 
rels of  the  past,  that  we  should  feel  that  we  are 
brethren  :  that  we  belong  to  a  united  and  insepara- 
ble country.  [Applauae.]  One  thing  I  may 
mention.  Recently  we  have  had  railroad 
strikes ;  we         have         had         those  mobs 

which  supervene  from  them,  and  I  am  gratified  to 
say  that  during  all  of  these  >roubles  which  shook, 
which.  I  may  aay,  defied  the  authorities  of  some  of 
the  greatest  cities  of  the  nation,  in  Ncw-Kngland  and 
in  the  South  there  was  no  disturbance, 
but  universal  submission  to  law  and  order. 
[Applause.  ]        I    hope    that    this     is    eWdence    of 

feace,  of  amity,  that  is  to  be  perpetual.  [Applause.] 
thank  yon  for  the  manner  In  which  I  have  h*^n  re- 
ceived, and  I  extend  to  yon  my  best  wishes.  [Ap- 
plause.] 

President  Hayes  then  introduced  Attorney- 
General  Devens,  who  made  a  brief  speech. 
Mr.  Evarts  was  then  presented-  He  .faid  : 
The  President  has  progreMsed  so  far  through  New- 
England,  beginning  ou  the  great  battle-field  which 
Stark  made  prosperous,  and  which  made  Stark 
famous;  and  now  we  stare  at  his  home,  chanted 
indeed  in  aU  surrounding  features  which  jireseut 
themselves  to  tlie-  traveler.^  from  the  simple 
rural  hamlet  to  the  great  manufacturing  city. 
hut  unchanged  in  the  character  of  its  people 
for  intelligence,  for  patriotism,  and  for  devotion  to 
the  Union  which  he  offered  his  life  in  risk  of  battle 
to  procnre  and  maintain.  I  could  not  bat  think  to 
day.  as  I  looked  at  these  great  manufacturing 
establishments,  how  much  greater  supply  of  cloth 
tliere  was  in  the  neighbornood  than  at  the 
time  when  Stark's  feet^  companies  were  so 
illy  clad.  It  is  told  that  after  the  battle  it  was  un- 
derstood that  the  Oeueral  was  iu  need  of  a  suit  of 
clothes,  and  the  State  of  Massaolinsetu.  having  taken 
through  a  privateer  a  vessel  laden  with  clothing  for 
King  George's  officers  and  men,  actually  proposed  as 
a  tribute  of  gratitude  from  Massachusetts  to 
(Jen.  Stark,  to  present  him  with  a  suit 
of  the  clothing  thus  acquired.  The  inade- 
quacy of  the  tribute  did  not  strike  all  of 
the  lay  members  of  tliat  aaKembly.  but  a  olergyman, 
who  was  a  member  of  the  body,  finally  put  a  stop 
to  this  somewhat  ridiculous  manifesto  by 
saving  that  he  thought  nothing  could  justify 
any  such  transactions  unless  the  Legislature 
was  stark  mad.  or  John  Stark  was  stark  naked,  f  Ap- 
plause.] And  now  for  the  great  results  of  these 
early  battles.  We  are  here  a  union  of  3S 
States  and  Territories,  reachin;;  from  the  At- 
lantic to  the  Pacific,  bounded  by  the 
Arctic  cold  and  Canada  and  the  tropical  heat  of  Mex- 
ico. Was  the  battle  worth  that,  that  we  should 
have  such  results  as  this  /  And  when,  next  in 
the  bosom  of  this  proud  people,  there  was 
introduced  a  qne.ttion.  the  consideration  of  which 
was  brought  to  the  arbttTam<'"t  of  arms — wlien  we 
were  driven  to  the  sad  alternative,  whether  we 
would  accept  a  mutilated  territory  or  a 
corrupted  Constitution,  New-England  'answered, 
'■  We  will  submit  to  neither."'  TKe  result  is  that 
our  territory  is  proser\'ed  and  strengtliened,  and 
the  Constitution  purified.  elevated,  enrolled, 
and  for  ever  saved.  Why  should  we  not 
be  satisfied  with  that  conflict  t  [Applause. ) 
I  do  not  think  much  of  the  Irrcconcilatlos  of  the 
South  ;  I  think  still  less  of  the  irreconcilables  of  the 
North.  [Applause.]  I  do  not  believe  that  any  of  our 
citizens  of  the  North  or  South  will  very  long  be  will 
ing  to  keep  the  position  of  being  irreconcilable. 

President  Hayes  then  spoke  as  follows: 
Fellow-Citizexs  :  We  regret  that  we  cannot  spend 
a  longer  time  with  you,  I  suspect  the  audience  is 
suffering  from  the  heat  of  the  room,  and  possibly 
from  the  infliction  of  long  speeches.  You  will  perhaps 
r^ret  the  brevity  of  the  mtemew  much  less  than  we 
do  :  and  now  thanking  you  for  the  kindness  and 
heartiness  of  your  reception,  we  bid  you  good  morn- 
ing, wishing  that  the  City  of  Manchester  may  have 
prosperity  in  the  future  that  will  be  equal  or  superior 
to  tluit  of  the  post.  [Applause,  and  cries  for  Mrs. 
Hayes.  1 

Gov.  Prescott  then  arose  and  said  : 

I  have  one  other  duty  to  perform,  which  ia  to  in- 
troduce to  this  va^t  assemblage  Mrs.  Hayes. 

Long  and  continued  cheering  ensuefl,  which 
was  gracefully  acknowledged  by  Mrs.  Haye.s. 

The  party  then  re-entered  the  carriages,  and 
were  driven  to  the  residence  of  ex-Gov.  Smvth, 
where  an  elegant  lunch  was  served.  At  10:30 
o'clock  the  party  re-embarked  in  carnages,  and 
were  escorted  to  the  depot,  where  the  journey 
was  resumed  for  Nashua. 

Nashua,  N.  H.,  Aug.  23. — Notwithstanding 
the  extreme  heat,  all  the  circumstances  con- 
nected with  the  reception  and  entertainment  of 
President  Hayes  and  the  other  distinguished 
guests  has  been  most  auspicious,  and  Nashuans 
of  both  political  organizations  have  vied  with 
each  other  and  labored  heartily  together  in  per^ 
fecting  and  carrying  out  the  programme.  The 
streets  were  thronged  with  people  from  the 
suburbs,  and  the  decorations  alone  the  route 
were  numerous  and  beautiful.  Mrs. 
Hayes  and  the  other  ladles  of  the  party 
were  intercepted  at  the  Concord  Railroad  Sta- 
tion, and  taken  in  private  carriages  to  the 
residence  of  Mayor  "Williams,  where  a  re- 
ception was  held,  Mrs.  ^VUliam8  and  her  daugh- 
ter introducing  the  ladies  of  Nashua  who 
called  to  greet  the  wives  of  the  distinguished 
visitors.  At  Concord  Station  the  train 
which  had  ou  board  the  President 
and  those  -  accompanying  him  was 
transferred  to  the  Nashua  and  Lowell  Road,  and 
run  up  to  the  centre  of  the  city,  where  carriages 
were  in"  waiting.  The  carriages  moved  thjough 
some  of  the  principal  streets,  halting  at  the 
City  Hall  Building,  where  the  veteran  soldiers, 
members  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Re- 
public, flanked  the  approaches  on  either  side, 
and  the  Police  held  the  multitude  in  check 
while  the  President's  party,  invited  guests,  and 
the  Grand  Army  passed  into  the  halL  The 
President  and  party  occupied  a  slightly  ele- 
Vated  platform  in  front.  Maj-or  Wil- 
liams   delivered     an     address    of      welcome. 

President  Hayes  responded  as  follows  : 

Mb.  Matoe  and  FELiX)W-crrniN8 :  This  is  otir 
focuth  day  in  New-Hampshire.  We  are  now 
reaching  the  end  of  our  tour  through  this  inter- 
esting and  patriotic  State-  Of  all  w^eomes 
and  receptiona  we  have  had,  or  shall  have,  I 
Am  sure,  from  lasting,  fnnn  grateful,  from,  agree- 
able recoUectioDs,  yotir  own  being  the  last, 
will  never  be  forced  from  our  memory. 
Your  Mayor  tells  us  that  the  town  of  Nashua 
has  been  visited  by  four  chief  magistrates  of  the  na- 
tion— ^Monroe,  Jackson,  Pierce,  and  Grant.  Surely 
I  do  not  wish  to  natne  these  distinguished 
patriotic  statesmen  of  the  ^at  wnh  a 
view  to  provoke  comparison.  We  all  know 
what  those  men  have  accomplished,  and  of  all  they 
have  aeoompUshed  for  their  ootmtry  how  little  of  it 
that  is  now  best  remembered  tt  connected  in  anv  way 
•wiih  any  poHtleal  party.  We  ivmeaber  Jackson  be- 
eanae  he  laid,  and  acted  aecording  to- bis  say,  '*  ^le 
Union— it  mtist  and  shall  be  praeerved."  [Applanse.] 
We  remember  Monroe  becaua*  he  lave  to  the  ODon- 


try  not  victory  for  party,  but  gave  It  that  era  of 
good  feeling  which  will  never  be  forgotten. 
[Applause.]  And  so,  my  friends,  if  there  la  any 
reason  why  you  should  be  interested  in  the  present 
Administration  of  the  coxintry,  I  trust  it  wul  turn 
out  to  be  that  after  four  years  are  ended 
somethiug.  however  small,  will  be  found  to  have  been 
done  for  the  common  good  and  common  glory  of  the 
whole  country,  and  of  all  of  its  inhabitants.  [Applauxe 
a  id  cheers.]  Now,  my  fellow  atizons,  I  am  quite 
sure  you  will  be  glad  to  make  the  acqu^ntance  of 
some  of  the  gentlemen  who  are  assocsated  with  me  at 
the  t^abinet  Councils  in  the  administration  of  the 
Gover  iment.  It  so  happens  that  we  hav^  with  us 
of  the  Cabinet  Mmisters,  the  Postmaster  Genera), 
Att'  m3y  General,  and  Secretary  of  State.  Lhir  time 
to  make  your  acquaintance  is  so  limited  that 
we  caimot  be  expected,  to  make  to  you  any 
extended  remarks.  But  all  of  these  gentlemen  have 
exhibited  lately  in  New-Hampshire  capacity  to  aay  a 
great  deal  in  a  very  short  time.  I  wish 
first  to  introduce  to  -'•'  a  gentleman 
who  is  himself  living,  tang  ble  evidence  that 
union,  that  conciliation,  that  turm  .>ny.  that  an  era 
of  good  feeling  is  possible  to-day  iu  our  country.  I 
allude  to  Postmaster-General  Jodge  Key.  of  Tennes* 
see. 

Postmaster^ eneral  Key  said  : 

3lT  Friends  :  I  came  to  New-England  some  davs 
s^  to  help  celebrate  the  battle  of  Bennington.  In 
\  ennont  I  met  with  so  many  men  and  r>e.iutif ul 
women  that  I  left  that  State  with  reluctance 
[liaughter.]  I  came  into  the  State  of  New-Hamp- 
shire, a  State  of  which  I  had  heard  much,  but  which 
I  had  never  seen,  and  from  the  first  town  in  it  to  this, 
which  is  the  last  we  are  to  >i*it,  I  have  f*lt  that  I 
desired  to  make  each  one  mv  home.  [Applanse.J 
I  have  been  exceedingly  gratified  by  tlje  reception 
that  has  everywhere  met  me.  1  take  It  not 
so  mueh  aa  a  personal  compliment  to  my- 
self as  evidence  of  the  good  feeling  to  that 
section  of  the  country  from  whence  I  rame.  (.Ap- 
plause.] I  see  among  those  beautiful  youn^  ladies 
here  to-day,  upon  the  badges  -which  they 
wear  the  names  of  the  several  States 
of  thU  broad  nation.  and  from  that 
I  take  it  that  the  people  of  New-England  believe 
that  we  have  but  one  country,  and  that  is  the  boast 
of  all  of  the  States  of  the  Union.  [Applause.  ]  They 
are  nil  beautiful  ladies.  It  has  I>een  hard  for 
me  to  say  which  was  the  most  beautiful,  but  I  have 
concluded  that  the  one  which  bears  the  name  of 
Tennessee  is  the  most  benutifnl  lady  1  hsve 
ever  seen..  [Applause  aud  laughter.]  Bnt,  my 
friends,  I  thank  you  for  tnls  demonstration. 
I  must  not  occupy  too  much  of  your  time.  You 
liave  my  best  wishes.  May  fiod  bless  Vermont,  New- 
Hampshire.  New-England,  and  our  whole  country. 
[Applause  and  cheers.) 

President  Hayes  then  introduced  Gen.  Dev- 
ens and  then  Mr.  Evarts,  who  .spoke  briefly. 

Mayor  Williams,  at  the  close  of  the  speeches, 
said  there  would  be  no  opportunity  of  indulging 
the  ordinary  custom  of  hand-Knaking*.  llie 
President  then  bid  the  people  good  bye,  and  he 
and  party  took  a  special  train  for  "Worcester. 

WoETESTER,  3Ia.S8.,  Auff.  .  23. — President

GEN.  HOWABD'S  pack  ANIMALS  STAMPEDED 
— PART  OP  THEM  RECAPTURED  AFTER 
A  SHARP  FIGHT — THE  INDIANS  MAKING 
THEIR  WAY   TO   THE   CROW    COUNTRY. 

Salt  Lake  City,  Aug.  23.— <5en.  How- 
ard's force,  in  pursuit  of  the  hostile  Indians, 
passed  Pleasant  Valley.  Idaho,  on  the  19th 
in.st.,  on  their  way  south.  They  went  as  far  on 
the  stage  road  as  Dry  Creek  Stage  Station, 
eight  miles  south,  then  turned  eastward  to- 
ward the  head  of  Camai  Creek.  The  hostile 
Indians  had  crossed  the  range  some  50  or  <>0 
miles  to  the  westward,  and  hod  arrived  upon 
the  stag:e  road  on  the  10th  in.st.,  taking  posses- 
sion of  the  Hole-in- the-Rock  Stage  Station,  20 
miles  south  from  Pleasant  Valley.  The  In- 
dians destroye<l  the  telegraph  line  in  that 
vicinity,  and  stopped  the  stages  and  all  travel 
upon  the  road.  The  Indians  were  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  this  station  for  three  days.  They 
had  been  for  nearly  two  days  without  water 
when  they  arrived  upon  the»<tage  line,  and  their 
stock  was  so  much  .scattered,  and  in  such  bad 
condition  that  they  stopped  to  gather  all  the 
loose  stock  and  to  feed  the  animals,  using  or 
destroying  all  the  grain  at  the  station,  and  aI.so 
destroying  all  the  property  there,  including 
some  20  sets  of  harness.  The  Indians  left 
Hole-in-the-Eock  Station  on  the  19th  or  20th, 
on  the  approach  of  Gen.  Howard,  going  ea.st 
or  nortn-west,  and  surprised  Gen.  How- 
ard's men  who  had  charge  of  the  pack 
animals  and  loo.se  stock  at  daylight  on  the 
momingof  the  20th,  at  Camas  ]^feadows.  about 
20  miles  east  of  the  Dry  Creek  Stage  Station, 
stampeded  about  100  pack  animals,  an  I  also 
about  30  horses  belonging  to  the  Montana  vol- 
unteers. Capt.  Norwood  and  Col.  Sanford  fol- 
lowed the  Indians  with  three  companies  of  cav- 
alry-, and  overtook  them  about  six  miles  dv^- 
tant,  when  there  was  a  skinnish,  in  which  one 
soldier  was  killed  and  six  wounded.  The  wound- 
ed soldiers  were  taken  to  Pleasant  Valley  Stn- 
stion,  where  one  of  them,  named  Samuel  A. 
Glass,  ha-*  since  died.  Gen.  Howanl  has  been 
reinforced  by  Capt.  Bainbridge,  from  Port  Hall, 
with  one  company  and  about  50  Bannock  In- 
dians, and  is  at  present  in  pursuit  of  the  hos- 
tiles,  who  are  supposed  to  be  making  for  Hen- 
ry's Lake,  which  is  about  00  miles  north-east 
from  the  stage  road  where  the  crossing  was 
made.  Gen.  Howard's  force  was  camped  yes- 
terday morning  on  Shotg:un  (Yeek,  which  is 
about  45  miles  distant  from  the  stage  ruad. 
On  the  20th  Gen.  Howard's  force  was  increased 
by  the  arrival  of  Col.  Miller,  vdth  about 
21)0  infantry  In  wagon.«.  Gen.  Howard 
had  with  tim  about  250  cavalrv,  iu 
addition  to  the  force  with  Capt.  Baint>rid^. 
While  Gen.  Howard  was  camped  at  the  Junc- 
tion, IS  miles  north  of  Pleaftant  Valley,  he  sent 
60  men  and  some  Indian  scouts  across  country 
to  Henry's  Lake  to  intercept  the  Indians.  The 
command  did  not  find  any  Indians  there,  and 
returned,  and  pa.'^sed  Ple&.sant  Valley  yesterday 
on  their  way^after  Gen.  Howard.  All  but  eiirht 
or  ten  of  the  Virginia  City  volunteers  have  gone 
home.  The  Indians  have  not  been  in  any  htirry, 
or  anxious  to  avoid  a  fight.  They  are  supposed 
to  number  between  400  and  500,  and  seem  to 
be  making  their  way  toward  the  Crow  country, 
on  the  Yellowstone.  A  n'agon  train  of  James 
Hayden,  on  the  Salmon  River  road,  is  supposed 
to  have  been  destroyed  by  Indians,  &s  a  numb4*r 
of  mules  belouginjc  to  him  have  been  found  on 
the  stage  road ;  also,  mules  of  another  train,  be- 
longing to  CoL  Shoupo.  A  courier  Ls  expected 
from  Gen.  Howard  to-day. 

Washinotox,  Aug.  23. — Major-Gen.  Mc- 
Dowell, commanding  the  Militarj-  Division  of 
the  Pacific,  sends  the  following  dispatch  to  the

morning  before  day  by  over  100  hostifes.  They  suc- 
ceeded in  stampeding  and  driving  off  about  XOO  ani- 
mals, of  which  number  one-third  were  recaptured  by 
the  cavalry,  who  started  in  pursuit  as  soon  as  they 
could  saddle  their  horses,  ilajor  Sandford,  First

as  follows :      . 
To  Oen.  Crook: 

I  am  operating  in  your  department  near  Henry 
Lake.  Bainbridge,  with  scouts,  arrived  bv  las^alght's

are  just  now  aiming  toward  the  Crow  cotmtiy. 

Virginia  City,  Montana,  Aug.  23,  via  Salt 
LATtK  City,  Aug.  23. — Two  scouts  from  Port 
Ellis  arrived  here  at  6  o'clock  this  morning. 
They  report  seeing  a  squaw  camp  on  Henry's

moving  toward  Greger  Basin,  when  the  scouts 
left  yesterday  morning. 

Lieut.  Leary,  Gen.  Howard's  CommiBsary,

Baltimore,  Aug;  2S. — The  iiec<md  me«t- 
inp  of  the  Worldnfc  Men's  .•Ctty<^<nxT«itlon  was 
held  t<>-n%ht,  with  the  nfflial  lai^  lUtendsnce. 
A  telegram  was  received  frtnq  the  Workiii^ 
Men's  BeneTOlent  Aid  Associatitm  of  I>ew-Or- 
leans,  conveying  its  svmpathr  with  the  move- 
ment, and  promising  to  follow  In  time.  An  ex- 
ecutive committee  was  organized  and  authorized 
to  call  conventions  to  nominate  candidatefi.  and 
also  to  arrange  for  muss-mt^tiligK.  A  special 
committee  was  appointed  to  issue  aa 
address  to  the  people.  The  convention 
was  not  as  harmonious  as  on  the  p^^vions  night, 
and  there  were  exhibitions  of  bad  temper  in  a 
debate  on  a  resolution  repudiatintt  a  self -nom- 
inated candidate  for  Mayor,  and  the  mterferenc*. 
of  the  leaders  was  necessary  To  stop  uaexchangfi 
of  sharp  personalities.  Some  of  the  moderato 
men  are  opposed  to  the  planks  of  the  plarfnna 
demanding  the  seizure  of  the  milrooiLs  tele- 
graphs, and  all  the  machinery  of  indatftry  bjr 
the  Government,  and  their  operation  for  this  co- 
operative benefit  of  the  workinff  nien.  These 
conservatives  renewed  their  efforts  to  have 
question  of  platform  opened,  and  Dr.  Wsyson 

rke  of  the  convention  having  done  mischief 
t  ought  to  1)6  undone ;  hnt  the  moderates 
were  overpowered.  A  resolution  was  offered 
that  the  convention  recogni7.e  all  organizations 
of  colored  working  men  who  will  co-oiierate  with 
the  party  on  its  platform.  This  led  to  th» 
drawing  of  the  color  line,  and  to  ex- 
citement and  confusion  on  the  subject  of 
the  negro.  The  delegates  who  came  from 
the  Democratic  ranks  showed  all  their  old  bit- 
terness against  the-  colored  people,  and  those 
who  were  Republicans  fought  f»>r  the  resolution, 
most  earnestly,  it  was  denounced  on  the  otie 
hand  as  a  fire-brand  that  had  been  thrown  into 
the  convention  by  traitors  to  the  working  men's 
cause,  and  on  the  other  hand,  it.«  stupporters  ar- 
gued that  something  must  be  done  to  couciliato 
the  10.000  negro  voters  in  the  citv. 
One  angry  Densocrat  chnrged  that  men 
from  the  Heform  P.'irty  had  stulen 
into  the  convention  in  disguise,  with  the 
object  of  liividing  it  on  this  question  and  pre- ' 
dieted  that  if  it  was  agitated  tlie  working-men"* 
movement  would  be  speeilily  «Teeked.  A  mo-  < 
tion  to  lay  the  resolution  on  the  table  was  re- 
jected by  a  vote  of  .">4  to  1 7.  and  it  wa.s  evident 
that  the  majority  was  largely  in  favor  of  mak- 
ing friendly  overtures  to  the  colored  voters. 
The  confusion  grew  worse,  and  the  Chairman 
lost  control  of  the  convention,  and  had  to  caU 
the  Sergeant-at-anns  to  his  aid.  Finally,  at 
the  solicitation  of  the  peaci-makers,  tiie  matter 
was  postponed  until  the  next  meeting,  and  tb*- 
convention  adjourned  amid  mucli  disorder.

A  TERRIBLE  DOCBLE'TR.iGEDT. 

Stkoudsbcrq,  Pemi.,  Aug.  23. — X  letter 
from  Ashley,  Luzeinie  County. .  Penn.,  to  rela- 
tives of  the  persons  concerned, »  gives  the  par^ 
ticulars  of  a  terrible  double  tragedy  that  oc- 
curred in  that  village  on  Monday  night.  Mrs. 
Benjamin  Warner,  widow  of  a  ilreman-  form- 
erly on  the  Lehigh  and  Susquehanna  Railway, 
who  was  killed  in  an  accident  at  Sugar  Xotch, 
.several  months  ago,  got  out  of  bed  in  tho  night 
and  taking  her  baby  drowned  it  in  a  barrel 
of  rain-water  near  the  house.  She  then  got  ia 
bed  with  her  S-year  old  son  and  cat  her  throat. 
When  the  boy  awoke  in  the  morning  she  lay  by 
his  side  dead.  Mrs.  Warner  hiid  l>een  in  low 
spirits  ever  since  her  httsband's  death,  but  had 
returned  home  from  a  visit  to  nilatives  at  Xan- 
ticoke  on  the  day  of  the  tragedy,  feeling  in  tin- 
usually  good  spirits.  Her  husband  left  her  well- 
provided  for,  and  it  is  thought  .she  must  hava 
been  insane  when  she  conmiitted  the  deed.

From  OUT  Ovn  ComaptmdgKU 
LosDOSf,  Ssttirday,  Aug.  11,  1877. 
On  Thursday  I  came  to  London  from  a 
little  eottaga  rete«at  on  the  Thames,  first  to 
transact  some  business  at  Westminster,  and  then 
to  do  some  work  in  the  city.  Hymen  obstmeted 
me.  both  at  the  Abbey  and  at  St.  PaoTsChnreh- 
yard.  I  stayed  in  Palace  Yard  to  watch  the  op- 
eration of  putting  np  there  a  sort  of  model  of 
tho  Cleopatra's  Needle  which  ia  on  its  way  to 
Hiis  classic  spot  I  found  a  crowd  at  the  Abbey. 
-''Sfhe  l>ell»  wtT>-  ringing.  The  peal  of  the  organ 
'  tame  langnidlyontinto  the  sunny  air.  Ahloekof 
earr.a;:e3,  with  bouqaet-decked  eoaohmes,  made 
•waiting  down  to  Dean's  Yard  a  diffteolty.  The 
Briroiioss  de  Bretton  was  being  married  to  Lord 
Grtrra^h.  A  complaisant  verger  made  way  for 
me  .".nd  1  enters'!  the  Abbey.  It  was  a  firetty 
sight,  the  younj,  hanlsome  eonple  in  their 
bri.ial  robes,  the  bridesmaids  and  friends  in  gay 
aLtire  surrounding  them  at  the  altar,  the  solemn 
ol  I  m.-vrble  effigrics  Unking  past  centuries  to  tho 
prcwiit,  solemn  .spectators  of  the  living 
pioture.  The  briJo  is  the  yonngest  daughter  of 
Bnro-a  >!»  Bretton,  a  Danish  nobleman,  ori- 
ginally of  nn  old  Hasmcnot  family,  who  left 
Franco  after  tho  edict  of  Nantes  and  settled  in 
Denmark.  For  tho  entertainment  of  the  fair 
readers  of  TrtE  Times,  let  me  record,  in  the 
technical  Iaii3^mg;e  of  an  authority  In  these 
matters,  Th,-.t  the  bride  wore  a  dress  of  rich 
vrbite  satin  dashes?©,  trimmed  with  point  de 
Erazt?  and  .carUnds  of  orange  blos-soms ;  corsage 
;arr<J  trimmed  with  the  Sitae  lace  Mid 
bouiiuet  of  oran»:t-''los^on3  and  shamrocks. 
Over  a  wreath  of  oranjre-blossoma,  fastened  to 
h.T  hair  by  several  diamoad  stars,  she  wore  a 
tulle  veil,  and  her  jewels  were  diamonds  and 
pearls.  There  was  a  distin^ished  congrega- 
tion. I  hope  they  did  not  mistake  me  for  Lord 
Pomebody-or-other.  coming  in  late,  condoeted 
to  a  seat  by  that  accessible  and  pleasant  verger, 
who  estimated  my  position  by  the  ^oin  which  I 
hid  ostentatiously  dropped  into  :  fiis  hand. 
What  a  loDfT  way  it  goes  towar  1  mating  life 
happy  in  London — a  half-crown  well  pUced  !  I 
noticed  cl-'se  at  my  siiie  Lord  Hougnton,  who 
L5  so  fond  of  Americans,  and  Lady  Diana 
Huddlestone,  who  takes  her  sewing  and  sits 
beside  her  ji:dicial  husband  at  County  Assizes. 
The  Earl  and  Cruntcss  of  March  were  there, 
and  31r.  Washington  Hiltjert,  tho  Bentincks, 
the  Darby  Griinths,  and  other  aristocrats,  sat  in 
fnll  vieT  oi  the  a'.tnr.  Presently,  when  all  was 
over,  the  "  wedding  march"  echoed  throngh  the 
buildinj.  and  t!ie  bridal  profession  filed  out 
throush  tho  nave  of  the  Jemsalem  Chaxober. 
I  liad  uii.ssod  my  appointment  at  WestHH-nster, 
so  I  chartered  a  hansom,  and  shaking  off  the 
mysterious  influences  of  the  Abl>ey,  which 
always  wei?h  upon  me"  as  if  I  had  stood  in  the 
gl'jom  of  n  lonii-lead  past.  I  hurried  over  the 
t:iil,ajilaiient  only  to  encounter  another  joyous 
block  in  St.  Paul's  Church-yard. 

I  s<5on  remembrTed  that  Cupid  and  Hymen 
R'ertj  once  more  celeljratint?  their  high  festivi- 
ties. This  second  weddin-^  was  over,  and  I  be- 
came one  of  a  str?.™s;:lin!?  crowd  of  wedding 
crnests  and  l<jo'K"n-in.  No  marriage  had  been 
crlel)rateJ  in  Sf.  Paul's,  until  Thur.sday  la-rt,  for 
310  years  :  and  nobody  cati  find  in  history  an 
instance  of  the  marriage  of,A  Ijady  3Iayores3. 
When  1  v.-:is  in  Boston  hist  year  I  heard  Mr. 
Baiioy  (•■  the  Daubtiry  St-.n  man")  lecture  on 
LondoiL  He  sniil  he  went  to  .?t.  Paul's,  and 
wus  surprised  to  find  that  during  the  service  he 
liiidbot'n  sittin'j:  on  a  Duke  and  Duchess,  grave 
Fpace  being  so  limitc^l  in  London  that  people 
v/ero  bufied  underneath  the  pews.  Thousands 
OL'  people  wer^*  walking  over  the  dead  arotmd 
tiliontS'.  Paul's  un  Thurs.Jay,  and  it  was  a  eu- 
il--iUs  uirieteenih  ci-otury  sight.  The  gay  car- 
riaies  of  the  l.oril  M.iyor,  private  broughams, 
tiO-i  open  Irnrouches  were  taking  up  the  brilliant 
i-ort'ir**  as  it.emptied  itself  from  tho  grand  old 
c>it!r-*Ji  to  tlio  sonnds  of  a  prt>cessiohal  march 
'"hich  tho  organ  was  blaring  forth.  The  Lord 
Tiiayor  i*  a  \«i(Iower.  He  constituted  his  dangh- 
t'T  Lady  May iire«s.  Ex-oflicio  he  irone  of  the 
Tntftei-'S  of  Sc  FhuI's.  and  being  a-somewhat 
p-.inipnus  L'lrd  flavor,  he  wished  bia  daughter, 
( -.vlio  was  engat;ed  when  he  entered  office.)  to  be 
marriLil  at  the  Cathptlraljclmrch.  His  influence 
V  a?  suSicient  to  secure  the  privilege,  and  the 
^redding  was  n-^ardod  as  a  i>ecuUarly  interest- 
ins:  event,  not  o'idy  on  account  of  the  novelty  of 
a  Lady  Mayoress'  marriage,  but  hy  rea.son  of 
the  I'Tig  interval  between  thi«  and  t'he  previous 
marria^'e  at  .^t.  Paul's.  The  reporters  gush  over 
tbs  scene.  Pyra'midal  groups  of  white  roses 
tlecomtcd  a!:,nr,  and  between  them  the  cruclllx 
towered  tin.  wreathed  with  the  same  chaste 
blooms.  The  screen  at  the  back  was  festooned 
with  tiowcrs.  and  from  the  tall  banks  of  blooms 
in  tho  sccrarium  arose  beautiful  palms  and 
ntlicr  exotic  pi.-.nts.  The  Archbishop  of  Canter- 
bury, tho  Bishop  of  London,  the  Bishop  of 
Kiy.  and  Canon  Liddon  assisted  at  the  c*r»- 
nnny,  and  nothing  was  wanting  to  give  solem- 
r.lrrand  trrandeur  to  the  occasion,  though  the 
Lord  M&yor  is  ''only  a  tradesman"  and  the 
^rideg^oor.•l  a  gentleman  connected  with  com- 
merce— a  Mr.  Price  •'laarrying  a  Miss  White.  It 
is  this  wonderful  r»j>pect  for  authority  in.  Eng- 
l.ind  that  is  the  maiust.iy  of  its  free  instltu- 
linrs.  l-'or  the  time  being  the  Lord  Mayor 
is  the  King  of  t'oe  city,  the  La*ly  Mavoress 
the  Queen,  and  in  their  oflicial  capacities  they 
are  entitled  to  the  homage  of  the  highest  per- 
Ffina::es  in  the  land,  and  they  get  ia.  While  I 
ain  standing  uoon  the  baried  dust  of  some  Eng- 
Ij.ih  noble  in  St.  Paul's  Church-yard,  the  crowd 
tiiat  files  by  :s  regal  in  its  lmi)osing  statelin^slS. 
Imperial  and  civic  lorrls  and  ladies,  Sheriifsjaml 
Aldermen  and  Chine-ifl  Ambassadors  jnake  their 
way  to  Ihs  .Alansionhonse,  where  a  wedding- 
liicakfast  w.-.s  laid  in  the  Venetian  parlors  for 
1,000  gue.st.^.  and  where  the  health  of  the  bride 
and  bivJpgroom  was  afterward  jjropofed  by  the 
ArchbL-hi^P  ot  Canterbury  himself,  while  the 
Bishop  oi  Ely  gave  the  health  of  tho  Lord  Slay- 
rr.  both  th"  distingnished  prelates  referring 
with  satisfaction  to  the  revival  of  a  good  old 
cii-stom  which  they  professed  to  see  in  the  com- 
bination of  private  and  public  interests  repre- 
F'-'nted  by  the  company  that  surrounded 
thi  chief  magi.strate  of  the  City  of 
London.  Tho  Bishop  of  Ely  said  ot 
I.T"''  years  there  h:ul  been  an  increas- 
ing tendercy  among  persons  of  high 
^■t:i':iial  raiik  to  make  a  marked  separation  lie- 
twee  u  t'neir  public  and  their  private  life,  ex- 
rlii>;inK  the  outer  world  from  sympiithijing 
vith  them  in  their  private  joys  and  sorrows. 
This  It  regarded  as  a  mistake,  leading  as  it  did 
fo  a  .reparation  of  class  from  class,  and  prevent- 
ing that  hearty  welding  together  of  the  differ- 
ent sccricns  of  society  on  which  the  happiness 
of  the  Empire  materiallv  depended.  Therefore 
he  considered  that  not  the  least  of  the  debts 
wiiich  Lonrlon  owed  to  its  present  Lord  Mayor 
lies  in  the  fact  that  he  has  broken  throiKh  the 
i.e  which  h.'is  incrusted  society  by  calling  on 
tlie  citiicns  of  London  to  join  him  in  hLs  happi- 
ness. In  days  gone  bv  the  private  life  of  mem- 
bers of  the  Corporation  was  interfused  with 
ihcir  public  life,  and  the  present  fe.stival  carried 
them  to  the  old  London  days  when  iho  city 
Fiiared  the  chief  magistrate's  social  as  well  as 
his  public  life. 

A  friend  of  mine  whoso  father  was  a  Director 
of  the  Xorth-castem  ftailway,  remembers  that 
reSTiected  gentleman  mentioning  one  day  over 
the  I'amilv  dinner  that  tne  board  had  had  a 
curiojs  application  made  to  them.  "A  little 
fellow  named  .Smith  wanU  us  to  give  him  per- 
missioa  to  sell  books  and  newspapers  at  tha 
stations  (depots)  along  the  lino  ;  we  are  going 
to  let  him  do  it."  This  was  the  cammencem«it 
of  that  wonderful  business  which  eventually 
daveloped  into  a  ya.st  trading  monopoly  similar 
In  character  to  the  American  Newsligency. 
Mr.  Smith  had  a  small  newspaper  store  in  Lon- 
aon  which  under  his  shTuwd  management  grfew 
into  a  vast  establishment,  employing;  huiMireds 
of  clerks,  messengers,  carts,  hoi'Ses,  and  rail- 
ways. Mr.  Suiith~becaroe  the  chief  dlafaitotor 
of  the  vast  ncwspaiwr.and  magazine  dretitotion 
of  the  metropolis  and  the  prinoipri  cities  of  the 
E  uplre.  He  organized  the  hook-ataU  ^ratem. 
md  the  advertislBg  arrangements  Wiucb  «U 
iiie  British  depots  with  wall  po*««»  and 
ornamental  placards.  Awurtod  by  hta  only 
son,  Mr  W.  H.  Smith,  he  made  a  prineely 
fortune  which,  with  the  bnriaMa,tolefl  toUji 

partner.  A  few  years  ago  »•  ™£»»»™»  .,S?S

tlinragh  Covent  Garden  while  he  was  "»»M»y  ^ 
hostlnga  speech.  The  mob  were  ^h»iftpg  hmi, 
calling  out^  in  reference  to  his  hnsineaa,  "Hors- 
ing papers."  "  TrkgrapK,"  "Standard,"  "  JTi«w»," 
"  naifg  News,"  "  Pmieh."  But  Mr.  Smith  went 
on  calmly  disctissing  the  political  tonics  of  the 
day.  He  was  returned  to  the  House  of  Com- 
mons, and  was  soon  recognized  aa  a  capable, 
painstaking  member.  'When  Hr.  Disraeli  suc- 
ceeded to  power  he  gave  office  to  Mr. 
Smith,  sad  the  son  of  the  "little  fellow" 
who,  some  30  or  40  years  ago,  sold 
books  at  the  railway  stations,  is  now 
Pir«  Lord  of  the  Adminrfty.  The  apwintineHt 
was  welcomed  with  cheers  by  both  sides  of  the 
House  of  Commons,  and  the  press  indorses  the 
wisdom  of  it  in  a  general  choms  of  praise.  "  In 
a  merely  party  sense,"  the  IHOy  Jfttes  (the 
prlaeipw  Opposition  journal,)  says,  "liord  Bea- 
conafield  has  acted  wisely.  Into  a  Cabinet  of 
peers  and  eomty  members,  a  Cabinet  exelosively 
representative  of  the  landiad  interest,  he  has  in- 
trodaeed  in  the  pet«on  of  Mr,  Smith  a  repre- 
sentative at  oBce  of  trade  and  of  a  great  city 
constituency.  Lord  Beacon-sfleld  is  fond  of 
startling  effects,  and  Mr.  Smith's  admission  into 
the  Cabinet,  not  as  the  head  of  a  secondary  and 
newly-vreated  department,  but  as  the  chief 
of  one  of  the  great  Offices  of  State,  is 
a  stroke  after  the  Prime  Minister's 
own  heart."  It  is  also  another  example  of  the 
opportimittes  afforded  for  advancement  in  Eng- 
land outside  the  stippqsed  favored  class,  in  «pl& 
of  monarchical  and  aristocratic  institutions. 
The  Prime  Minister,  an  alien  by  birth,  and  the 
son  of  a  litterateur,  electa  for  his  First  Lord  of 
the  Admiralty  the  son  of  a  news  agent,  and  a 
man  still  in  business  ;  for  Mr.  Snath  hu  sot 
yet  abrogated  his  position  as  head  of  the  firm  in 
the  Strand.  He  has,  however,  a  partner,  who

COL.  E.  J.  ALSTON'S  FORTUNE. 


AK  AOEEfiABLE  STOKT  OP  A  PROPHECT  BT 
A  GANABT,  AXD  ITS  tTNEXPECTED  FUL- 
FILLMENT. 

From  the  Atlanta  (Qa.)  Constihition. 

Several  months  ago  Gen.  Gordon  and  Col. 
R.  A-  klston  were  waOdag  down  Feansylvaala-ave- 
sne'ln  Wisbington  City.  They  noticed  a  crowd 
standing  on  the  sidewalk,  and  upon  investigation  dis- 
covered a  portable  stand  upon  iv%ich  a  grave  and 
apeenlstive  ;n>tip  of  emary  fetrda  Iwere  engaged  In 
tuning  the  fortunes  ot  the  bystanjiera.  The  modns 
operindi  was  simple.  A  strangex  would  give  one  of 
the  birds  a  nickel.  The  bufHTould  then  hop  off  to  a 
basket  Bflar  by,  snd  pick  ^  a  little  envelope  ia  his 
bill  and  carry  it  to  the  expectant  enstomar.  In  this 
envelope  he  would  find  a  small  piece  of  paper  on 
which  wa.s  printed  the  history  of  his  tntvn  life — at 
least  a  caoiuy  bird'«-eye  view  of  it. 

Moved  by  o'ne  of  those  tmaccountable  Imnolsee  that 
operate  with  the  great  as  well  as  the  lowly,  Gen. 
Oordon  annotmeed  his  purpose  of  trying  his  hick 
with  the  btnla  He  handed  the  wisest  looling  cana- 
ry he  could  see  a  carefully-selected  nickel  and 
HWait«d  the  result.  The  bird  nstumed  with  an  en- 
velojje.  which  the  Senator  opened.  It  aunoanced 
tliat  the  Senator  "  talked  too  much,  had  five  children. 
Slid  would  live  to  be  86  years  of  age."  The  Senator 
r  marked  that  the  first  part  of  the  fortune  was  not  true, 
that  the  second  was,  and  he  hoped  the  third  wonld 
be.  Upon  this  encouraging  r^5nm6  Col.  Alston  de- 
termined to  have  iiia  fortune  tried  ;  so  he  -chased  a 
nickel  into  the  comer  of  his  breechea-pocket  and 
.c  ipturing  one,  handed  it  to  a  likely-looking  bird,  and 
requested  bl'ji  to  move  ahead  with  the  panorama 
The  lilrd  loolied  at  the  Colonel  carefiUly,  as  if  he  felt 
that  the  case  in  hand  required  his  very  finest  judg- 
Tnent,  and  then  move^i  off  in  a  profoundly  contempla- 
tive and  ret!ectl+tf  sfute-  He  soon  returned  with  an 
envelope,  whi-h  he  delivered  to  the  I'olonel.  The 
first  clau.se  of  the  fortune  was  this  :  *'  You  Invite  too 
many  people  to  your  house  ;  many  of  those  you  in- 
vite are  not  yonr  friends-"  Tlint  mnch  was  true. 
The  hospitality  of  Col.  .Alston  is  as  wide  and  as  spon- 
taneous as  tliat  of  the  Biblical  gentlemaa  who,  when 
he  had  a  wedding  in  his  house,  felt  so  ctood  about  it 
that  he  sent  out  the  Police  to  beat  up  hu  guests  from 
the  boshes  ajid  thickets.  ^_ 

But  the  above  was  a  small  part  of  fue  prophecy. 
The  orinted  slip  went  on  to  recite  that  the  Cwonel 
wonld  in  a  short  time  receive  a  large  snm  of  money. 
He  thought  at  first  that  tbis  was  tidings — dire  but 
grateful — about  his  big, fee  which  was  then  in  the 
prospective.  Wo  the  paper  went  ou  to  say  that  ho 
would  receive  this  fortune  aa  an  inheritance,  and 
that  tt  wonld  be  tlie  basis  on  which  he  would  build  a 
definite  prosperity.  He  folded  the  scrap  of  paper  in 
liis  pocket  and  went  to  WiUard's.  where  ne  met 
.Tudge  Loebtaue.  He  was  showing  the  paper  to  this 
genial  gentleman  with  the  big  Irish  heart,  when  he 
was  Interrupted  by  the  exclamation;  "\Vhy,  my 
d^nr  Sir.  yonr  fortune  is  already  left  you.  1  saw 
this  very  day  in  the  Baltimore  Sun  that  John  E. 
Aston,  of  Brooklvn.  had  died,  and  had  left  a  for- 
tune of  about  M<'0.(>00  to  he  divided  among  his 
beirsandrelativesin  the  South."  CoL  Alston  then 
hurried  out  to  find  the  Baltimore  Sun,  He  failed, 
however,  and  the  matter  dropped  out  of  his  mind. 
A  day  or  two  afterward  Attorney-General  I>evena 
asked  him  if  he  waa  any  kin  to  .T.  £.  Alston,  of 
Brooklyn,  remarking  that  that  gentleman  had  left  a 
large  fortune  to  be  divided  among  his  family.  Col. 
Alston  replied  carelessly  and  camo  to  Georgia  soon 
afterward,  and  had  very  soon  forgotten  about  the 
cloar>eyed  sanaries  and 'their  prophecT- 

A  few  days  ago,  however,  he  received  a  printed 
copy  of  the  will  of  James  E.  .Alston  addressed  to 
him  as  one  of  the  heirs  of  the  estate.  The  will  be- 
queathed various  amounts  to  special  heirs  and  then 
recited  that  the  balance,  amounting  tu  ^137.000, 
should  be  distributed  to  the  heirs  in  Georgia  and 
South  Carolina,  throtlgh  the  agency  of  Mr,  .Albert 
Glover.  CoL  Alston  yesterday  reeclved  a  letter, 
which  we  examined,  from  Mr.  Albert  Glover,  an- 
nouncing that  he  would  b«  ont  to  Georgia  soon  to 
have  a  ptsrsonal  interview  with  Col.  Alston  concern- 
ing the  distribution,  and  annonncins  that  he  was 
hrmgingthe  matter  to  a  close  as  rapid^  aa  possible. 
Mr.  Ker  Boyce,  of  Atigusta,  has  the  card  upon  which 
the  fortune  was  printed,  but  Col.  Alston  has  written 
to  him  ftor  it.  that  he  may  be  ready  to  meet  the  tide 
of  inquiry  that  this  article  will  turn  loose'  npon  him. 

The  above  story  is  true  in  every  particular.  It  is 
a  remarkable  story  in  itself,  but  when  taken  in  con- 
nection with  the  numerous  miracles  of  luck  that  have 
lieen  worked  in  belialf  of  Col.  Alston  becomes  much 
more  remakable.  1Ve  predict  that  be  will  clear  $^fO,- 
000  by  the  little  inheritance.

JEFF.  DAVIS. 


HIS  POOB  OLD  COLOBED  COACHMAN  ONCE 
KOBE  DEAQGED  INTO  SERVICE  TO  DENT 
THAT  HE  WAS  DISGUISED  IN  WOMAN'S 
CLOTHING  WHEN  CAPTrRED. 
From  the  Raleigh  (JV.  C.{  Xetc*.  Aug.  20. 
Soon  after  the  close  of  the  civil  war  in  1860, 
when  Gena.  Lee  aud  JohnBton  had  surrendered  to 
the  United  States  forces,  a  good  deal  was  said,  much 
of  it  falte.  in  regard  to  tho  capture  of  Jefferson 
DftTis.  President  of  the  Confederacy.  Soon  after  his 
captnrc.  Jamea  H.  Jones,  a  colored  man,  who  was 
with  Mr.  l>tL.\-\s  or  hin  family  daring  nearly  the 
whole  time  of  the  war  in  the  capacity  of  coachman, 
and  who  wan  with  him  when  he  was  taken  inrisoner 
in  Georgia,  fnmi»hed  a  statement  of  -his  capture  to 
the  Greensboro  I^alriot,  and  it  was  published  at  tho 
time.  Recently  a  reqneet  ha«  been  made  to  a  gen- 
tleman of  hiffh  stxuiding  in  thi*  city  to  procure  from 
James  H.  Jones  a  atatement  of  the  whole  msiter,  which 
he  lifts  given,  anil  which  we  are  permitted  to  copy,  as 
below.  But  before  giving  the  statement  we  will  take 
occasion  to  Miy  that  the  author  is  a  natlTo  of  this 
city,  and  stanOs  as  high  as  any  colored  man  in  the 
State  for  truth  and  integritr.  Ue  is  and  has  been 
for  10  years  Captain  of  the  Victor  Pire  Company  of 
this  city,  and  was,  until  his  resi^ation,  recently, 
Captain  of  the  Raleigh  Bines,  a  colored  volunteer 
company  of  the  city.  The  statement  is  given  as 
Inrieny  as  possible  to  be  intellisrible,  and  is  as  follows: 

STATEMENT. 

I  was  coachman  to  Hon.  Jeff  Davis  nearly  aU 
through  the  war,  and  was  with  him  at  the  time  of 
hia  capture,  which  occurred  on  the  10th  of  Msy, 
1665,  Between  3  and  4  o'clock  in  the  momine,  some 
15  or  16  miles  from  the  county  seat  of  Wilcox 
County,  Oa.,  while  in,  camp  on  the  public  road. 
I  heard  the  tramping  of  the  horses  of  the  Federal 
soldiers  as  they  were  approachlnc  the  camp,  and 
awoko  Mr.  Davis  and  told  him  the  Yankees  were 
nearly  on  ua.  He  and  his  wife  had  been  sleeping  in 
their  tent.  When  I  went  in  he  ^ot  up,  and  by  the 
time  hefothls  clothes  on  the  soldiers  were  in  the  camp, 
and  10  orl2  of  them  were  standing  at  his  tent  door 
with  tiieir  puna.  No  one  could  paaa  in  or  out.  Mrs. 
Davis  and  the  children  had  not  had  time  to  dress. 
2tfr.  Davis  went  to  the  tent  door,  and  was  ordered  by 
the  soldiers  to  surrender.  He  replied  he  would  not; 
that  he  woxild  die  first.  At  this  Mrs.  Da\is  pressed  to 
her  husband  and  put  her  armsaronnd  hi5  neck,  begging 
the  soldiers  not  to  kill  him,  both  she  and  the  children 
crvine  piteoualy. 

It  has  been  stated  that  l&r.  Davis  had  on  a 
hoopekirt,  ami  was  otherwise  disguised  as  a  woman. 
Tma  is  wholly  false.  He  was  dressed  in  his  ordinary' 
clothing,  with  cavalry  boots  drawn  ovaj;  his  pants,  a 
water-proof  over  his  dress  coat,  a  shawl  thrown  over 
his  sh<mldera,  and  on  his  head  a  brostt  brim  white  or 
drab  Texas  hat.  He  had  not  an  aziicle  of  female 
wear  about  his  perfien. 

The  following  gentlemen  wer*  in  the  camp  and 
were  captured  at  the  same  time  :  Geji.  Rea^fan,  Post- 
master, General ;  Mr.  Harrison,  private  secretary  to 
Mrs.  Davis  ;  Col.  Ivovett.  of  Toxaa  ;  Col.  -  Joseph 
Johnston,  of  Kentucky  ;  CoL  Joseph  Wood;  (escaped 
next  day  ;)  Mr.  William  Howell,  brother  to  Mrs. 
Davia,  and  many  others,  all  of  whom  I  doubt  not 
wUl  eOTTOborate  what  I  have  stated  above.

ARI8M — THE  CASE  IN  THE  HANDS  OF  THB 

REVENUE  AUTHORITIES. 

Fire  Marshal  Keady  yesterday  ooncltxded  the 
Investigation  into  the  cause  of  the  explosion,  and 
oonaeqoent  destruction  by  flro,  of  the  chemical-works 
of  Charles  Kunstler,  comer  of  Flushing  and  Ever 
green  avenues,  BrooUys,  on  Tuesday  ni^t  last. 
The  owner  of  the  works,  Hr.  Konatler,  testified  that 
he  had  been  in  possojision  of  tho  premises  abont  II 
months  ;  his  boeiness  consisted  of  the  nuumfaetar» 
of  ether  and  shellae  solutions.  He  then  went  on  to 
state  a  portion  of  the  ingredients  used  in  tho  manu- 
facture of  ether,  refusing  to  disclose  the  names  of 
■onto  of  the  ingredients,  on  the  ground  that  they 
were  professional  secrets,  and  that  to  dimlfte  them 
would  mln  hla  bualness.  He  then  continued  his  tea- 
ttmony  as  follows :  "The  ether  is  very  explosive, 
and  the  vapon  will  easily  catch  fire  from  a  llfcht ;  I 
did  not  have  any  mash  there,  but  I  had  two  '  stills,' 
two  'condensers,'  and  a  'donbler;'  the  stills  were 
regularly  rwdstered,  and  one  of  then^  was  of  seven 
and  tha  other  32  barrels  capacity;  I  made  no  secret 
of  what  I  was  doing  there — everybody  who  wished 
could  come  in ;  the  revenue  offlcers  have  been 
there  about  20  times  ;  one  of  them  broke  into  my 
place  lost  ^Vinter  but  did  not  seize  anything  ;  they 
seized  my  place  on  Tuesday  last,  and  the  same  night 
burned  it  up ;  I  am  sure  I  was  not  violating  the 
revenue  laws,  and  I  did  not  think  that  I  waa  looked 
upon  with  suspicion  by  the  officers,  because  they  got 
every  facility  from  me  to  investigate  tho  nature  of 
my  Dusineis  ;  I  was  eomnelled  to  work  there  some- 
times at  night,  but  was  always  careful  about  the  use 
of  lights,  and  if  I  had  thought  that  the  revenue 
officer  would  have  need  fire  or  lights  there  I  would 
have  told  him  to  be  careful ;  I  was 
perfectly  thunderstruck  when  Mr.  Cochu  seized  tho 
place,  bnt  I  drew  the  fires  and  left  the  premises  in  a 
safe  condition  ;  I  left  at  G  o'clock ;  the  place  was  then 
in  charge  of  a  Deputy  Collector,  and  be  put  Mr. 
Renz,  a  Deputy  Marshal,  in  charge  i  I  did  not  come 
back  to  the  factory  until  after  the  flre  occurred ;  I 
was  surprised  when  I  heard  the  place  was  on  fire  j 
my  neighbors  tell  me  that  the  ofBeera  had  a  light  In 
the  building  before  the  fire ;  I  did  not  make  any 
arrangement  that  would  set  the  factory  ou 
fire  that  night,  and  did  not  get  any  one  else 
to  do  so ;  the  fire  must  have  been  caused 
by  the  carelessness  or  the  Ignorance  of  the 
Deputy  Marshal,  Bens ;  I  estimate  my  loss  at  about 
^,000 ;  I  have  not  a  dollar  of  insurance ;  W.  F. 
Garrison  owned  the  building ;  his  loss  is  about  $rtOO, 
insored  for  9^00 ;  I  had  to  pay  an  extra  Insurance 
on  the  building  as  an  extra  hazardous  risk ;  I  had  no 
dispute  with  the  revenue  oflQcers ;  1  never  made 
any  whisky  or  other  spirituous  liquors  there,  nor  did 
I  have  any  mash  or  mash  tubs  there ;  I  had  tanks 
there  in  which  I  mixed  chemicals ;  I  have  been  ar- 
rested on  a  charge  of  violating  the  revenue  laws,  and 
held  in  $2,500  bail" 

The  testimony  of  Mr.  Kunstler  satiRflos  Fire  Mar- 
shal Keady  that  the  fire  waa  not  of  incendiary  origin, 
and  endb  the  Investieation,  so  far  as  he  is  concerned. 
The  ease  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  revenue  authori- 
ties, and  the  hearing  of  his  case  has  been  set  down 
for  Sept.  4.  - 

IX  SEARCH  OF  "  TffE  ELEPHAKT."* 

A  TROJAN'S  EXPERIENCE  IN  NEW  YORK  AND 
BROOKLYN— ARRESTED  AS  A  CONFIDENCE 
SWINDLER  AND  HELD  FOR  TRIAL. 
A  mild  and  onassuming  young  man,  who 
gave  his  name  as  James  Walker,  and  his  residence 
Troy.  N.  Y.,  was  arrested  in  Brooklyn  yesterday,  on 
complaint  of  Mr.  M.  W.  Whitlock,  Superintendent  of 
a  tobacco  factor)*  in  that  dty,  on  a  charge  of  obtain- 
ing money  under  fal^e  pretenses.  Yoang  Walker, 
accor*Ung  to  his  own  story,  as  told  to  Inspector 
Waddy,  at  Police  Head-quarters,  is  engaged  in  the 
upholstery  busiuess  In  Troy,  and  came  down  to  New- 
York  ahuat  two  weeks  ago  in  search  of  "the  ele- 
phant." He  had  about  $90  in  his  pocket  when  he 
left  home,  and  thus  provided  for  he  manngtd  to  see 
a  great  many  of  the  wonderfid  and  interesting  sights 
which  Gotham  presents  to  her  rural  visitors.  He 
ultimately  extended  his  peregrinations  to  tho  City 
of  Brotherly  Love,  and  returning  again  to  the 
Metropolis  Walker  waa  astonished  to  ascertain  that 
his  fortune  of  $i>0  was  exhausted,  and  so  he  xet  tn 
work  to  devise  means  tu  return  to  the  parental 
mansion  at  Troy.  No  more  feasible  way 
out  of  his  dilemma  suggesting  itself  to  his  mind,  he 
determined  to  try  the  confidence  dodge :  and  so  he 
went  across  thv  Kast  River,  and  proceeding  to  the 
tobacco  factory  superintended  by  Mr.  Whitlock  told 
that  gentleman  that  he  was  a  son  of  Bagloy,  the 
famous  tobacco  man  of  Detroit,  Mich.,  and  men- 
tioned in  proof  theri-of  the  names  oi  several  of  the 
employes  of  the  eHtabiLshnient.  which  he  had  ob- 
tained in  some  msnner  in  New- York.  He  said  that 
be  had  left  New- York  for  the  purpose  of  visiting  ('one y 
Island,  bnt  that  he  iiad  been  so  unfortunate  as  to 
have  his  pockets  picked  on  the  ferry-boat,  and  all  hia 
money  taken  from  him,  and  he  aslted  Mr.  Wliitlock 
for  the  loan  of  $4  to  pay  hiH  exitenses  to  Coney 
Island,  ns  he  did  uot  wish  to  go  back  to  New-York  fur 
more  money,  and  he  wonld  nend  it  buck  to  him  when 
he  returned.  Believing  Walker's  storj-,  Mr.  Whit- 
l04:k  gave  him  the  sum  ai»ked  for.  and  thJe  young  xDan 
took  his  departure.  Aa  he  left  the  place,  one  of  ilr. 
Whitlockft  neighbors  entered,  and  Mr.  ^^'hitlock 
asked  him  if  ne  knew  that  young  man,  saying  that  be 
wa.s  a  son  of  Bajdey,  of  Detroit.  *'  No,  ho  Ib  not," 
replied  Mr.  ^^'~hitlock'!i  friend,  much  to  his  astonish- 
ment. \VhereuiK)n,  coming  to  the  conclusion  that  he 
had  been  swindled,  Mr.  Whitlock  followed  Walker, 
and  succeeded  in  overtaking  hiru  at  the  8outh  Ferry, 
just  as  he  was  nlx)ut  to  take  the  boat  to  return  to 
New- York.  Walker  was  placed  In  charge  of  a,  police- 
man, and  by  him  taken,  nrst  to  Police  liead-ouarters, 
and  thence  to  the  First  Precinrt  t>tation  lnm:<e,  and 
sabsequently  locked  np  in  Raymond-Street  Jail.  He 
seamed  to '  feel  ver>'  badly,  aud  wept  freely  while 
talking  to  Inspector  'Waddy, 

PSErEXTIOS  OF  CHIME  ly  JEJiSET  CITT. 
The  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Crime  of 
Jersey  City  have  concluded  to  lodge  complaints 
against  all  liquor  dealers  who  keep  their  places  open 
on  Sunday,  and  have  to  that  end  secured  the  names 
of  40  dealers  who  kept  open  last  Sunday.  Tho  mem- 
bers of  the  society  complain  that  they  were  not  fairly 
treated  In  the  cases  of  the  liquor  dealers  arrested  on 
their  compl^nt  and  discharged  by  Justice  Dnvls  a 
few  davs  ago.  They  were  charged  with  selling  with- 
out license.  The  dealers  did  not  deny  the  charge, 
but  rested  their  defense  on  the  production  of  City 
Clerk  Scotts  receipts  for  the  Hcpuse  fee.  showing 
that  they  had  made  applications  for  license,  and 
Justice  iJavls  dischaned  them.  The  society  claim 
that  the  produrtion  of  a  licenRo  is  the  only  defense 
which  the  court  can  entertain,  and  that,  t>esides. 
Justice  Davis  failed  to  notify  tiie  society's  counsel 
when  the  cases  wonld  he  called  for  trial.  Under  the 
ordinance  the  society  is  entitled  to  $10  of  the  $25 
fine  in  every  case  in  which  conviction  is  ha-l  on  their 
complaint.  In  order,  it  is  claimed,  to  prevent  them 
from  collecting  their  share  of  the  fine,  Justice  Davis 
instrnftod  the  officers  of  the  Police  Department  to 
make  the  formal  complaint  themselves  against  the 
liquor  dealers  arrested  at  the  instance|pf  the  society. 

BROOKLYN  BOARD  OF  CITT  WORKS. 

At  tho  meeting  of  the  Brooklyn  Board  of  City 
Works  yesterday,  Mr.  Luke  O'Reilly  was  appointed 
Permit  Clerk  in  the  Sewer  Department,  vice  Thomas 
Sheridan  reeigned,  at  a  salary  of  $1,000  per  annum. 
A  resolution  was  adopted  removing  James  Bhatigan, 
James  MoHenry.  and  Thomas  Murray,  laborers, 
from  the  repair-}*ard,  on  the  ground  that  there  was 
nothing  now  for  them  to  do.  Preeident  Slocum

SESIOrS  RESULT  OF  SECKLESS  DRITIKG. 

Mr.  B.  F.  Wells,  of  No.  117  Yates-avenue, 
Brooklyn,  was  out  riding,  with  his  wife  and  little 
daughter,  on  Bedford-avenue,  on  Wednesdsy  evening^ 
when  his  carriage  was  run  into  and  smashed  to 
pieces  by  the  carriage  of  another  gentleman,  at  pres- 
ent unknown.  Mrs.  Wells  was  thrown  ont  of  the 
carriage,  hut  was  not  seriously  hurt.  Mr.  Wells, 
however,  had  one  of  his  ankles  broken,  and  tt  is 
feared  that  his  foot  will  have  to  be  amputated,  while 
the  little  girl  was  seriously  -injured  in  the  head,  it 
being  feared  that  her  EkuU  is  fractured.  It  is  said 
that  the  stranger  who  ran  into  Mr.  Wells'  carriage 
was  driving  at  a  furiotu  rate  of  speed,  nnd  that,  as 
soon  as  he  ascertained  the  amount  of  damage  he  had 
inflicted,  he  unhitched  hia  horae  from  his  broken 
bug^  and  rode  off.  The  buggy  is  in  the  hands  of 
thePolice  of  the  Ninth  Precinct,  who  are  looking  fOt 
the  driver.  He  is  supposed  to  have  been  driving  a 
livery  team,  but  whether  from  New-York  or  Brook- 
lyn is  not  at  present  known.

THE  MOON  ECLIPSED, 

A  FULL  MOON  IN  A  CLEAR  SET  OB&ODBED 
BY  THE  earth's  SHADOW— THE  ECLIPSE 
AS  SEEN  DTKEW-TOBE. 

The  moon  nerer  rose  in  a  dearer,  hlaer  Bky 
than  last  evening,  when  its  brig^itnees  was  to  be 
hidden  before  it  reached  our  horizon  by  the  shadow 
of  the  earth..  It  had  been  concealed  behind  this 
esormcms  shadow  for  nearly  two  horns  before  it  be- 
came visible  to  the  many  eager  watchers  in  New- 
York  who  waited  for  its  eoming;  and  when  it  ap- 
peared above  the  horizon  its  face  was  so  darkened  by 
the  shadow  that  the  familiar  eyes,  nose,  and  month 
were  nndiatinguiahahle:  The  total  ecHpse  was  hard- 
ly  seen  from  New-York.  The  moment  of  the  moon's 
ridng  and  that  of  tlie  ending  of  the  total 
eclipse^ were  so  nearly  together,  and  the  moon 
was  so  low  in  the  sky.  and  concealed  by  so  many  high 
walls  and  chimneys,  that  very  few  New-Yorkers  saw 
it  when  It  was  completely  covered.  In  a  few  minutes, 
however,  It  was  higher  In  the  heavens,  and  the 
gathering  darkness  gave  greater  brilUaney  to  the  tiny 
semi-circleof  light thatsoon  appeared  on  the  northern 
edge  of  the  moon's  face.  The  shadow  began  gxad- 
uaTIy  to  pass  off,  apparently  going  southward,  "as 
if,"  as  one  of  the  spectators  said."  the  sun  was  over 
on  the  Elysian  Fields,  and  was  traveling  slowly  up  to 
Harlem.  For  the  first  half  hour  after  the  moon  rose 
it  was  in  a  perfectly  clear  space  in  the  sky,  tbotigh 
sanouuded  at  some  distance  by  clusters  of  moving 
white  clouds,  which  were  tinged  more  and 
more  with  silver  and  tfold  as  more  and  more 
of  the  moon's  surface  became  visible.  At  7:30 
one  of  these  cloud  clurters  drifted  slowly  across  the 
moon's  face,  turning  it  sometimes  into  nothing  but  a 
shininc;  vapor  and  at  others  distorting  it  into  odd,  nn- 
nsnal  shapes.  These  clouds  continued  to  drift  north- 
ward till  7:45,  when  the  last  of  them  floated  past. 
leaving  the  moon  in  a  perfectly  smooth  field  of  light 
blue.  The  best  view  of  the  eclipse  was  then  had. 
The  moon  changed  slowly  from  first  to  second  and 
third  quarters,  making  the  changes  that  usually  occu- 
py weeks  in  as  many  minutes,  one  of  the  eyes  of  the 
man  who  is  authoritatively  said  to  be  there  appearing; 
first,  then  the  nose,  part  of  the  mouth,  and  at  last 
the  second  eye,  till  nothing  was  left  of  the  eclipse  bnt 
a  tiny  bhtr  on  the  southern  upper  edge,  so  small  that 
it  might  have  been  a  dent  received  in  a  late  collision 
with  some  other  heavenly  body.  At  8:04,  the  exact 
time  announced,  this  last  blot  disappeared,  and  the 
fttll  glory  of  the  moon  shone  out  agahi  over  the  City. 

At  no  time  was  the  shadow  so  deep  as  to  complete- 
ly conceal  the  moon,  a  dim  circle  of  light  markiilg  Its 
locality  as  soon  as  the  totij  ecUpa©  was  over.  It 
was  apparently  floating  qmetly  directly  over  Brook- 
lyn, and  the  best  views  were  had  from  the  high 
buildings  on  the  east  side  of  the  City.  Most  of  the 
observatories  were  too  low  to  command  a  view  at  the 
tlfte  of  the  total  eclipse,  on  account  of  the  nearness 
of  the  moon  to  the  horizon  ;  and  even  afterward  It 
was  so  low  in  the  s^  as  to  be  invisible  from  many  of 
them.  The  tops  of  hhfh  bnildin2^  were  sUve  with 
spectators ;  the  east  and  west  streets,  givinj?  a  fine 
Sight,  were  well  peopled,  and  the  omnipresent  street- 
telescope  men  will  have  good  reason  to  remember  the 
total  eclipse  of  the  moon  in  1877. 

BVSISESS  FAILURES. 

Theodore  Neender  assigned  his  property  for 
the  benefit  of  creditors  to  John  Lohman  and  Frank 
Green  yesterday. 

William  E.  Spencer,  hardware  merchant  in 
Chicago,  has  failed, with  liabilities  amountiugto  $56,- 
000.  chiefly  owing  to  New-York  creditors. 

The  creditors  of  Marschutze.  Mack  &  Co.. 
liquors,  Xo.  3  8  Dey-street,  have  accepted  a  composi- 
tion of  25  cents  on  the  dollar,  payable  in  three  in- 
stallmenta. 

The  scbednles  were  filed  yesterday  In  the 
Court  of  Common  Pleas  in  the  assignment  of  Luke 
W.  Thomas,  Cliarles  8.  Farley,  and  George  P.  Mer- 
rill, composing  the  firm  of  Thomas  &  Co.,  dealers  In 
woolens,  of  No.  46  White-street,  to  John  L.  Hill. 
The  inventories  are  somewhat  confusing,  but  seem  to 
show  the  lial'ilities  of  the  assignors  to  be  $.')i>7.- 
547  32.  and  the  nominal  assets  to  be  $4*J3,  849  7S. 
Over  HO  per  cent.,  it  is  believed,  will  be  realized  on 
the  assets. 

A  DESPERATE  ATTEMPT  AT  StICIDE. 
Moses  Bredner,  aged  25,  the  proprietor  of  a 
bartiershop  at  No.  313  West  Forty-fourth -street, 
made  two  desperate  attempts  to  terminate  hia  ex- 
istence during  Wednesday  night.  Bredner  was  un- 
married, and  slept  in  a  small  room  in  the  rear  of  his 
barber  shop.  At  7  o'clock  yesterday  morning  a 
young  man  employed  as  an  assistant  In  the  shop 
called  at  the  place  and  found  it  closed.  He  rapped 
at  the  door  several  times,  but  receiving  no  re«(pon^e 
became  alarmed  and  suuunoned  an  officer  of  the 
Twenty-second  Precinct.  The  door  of  the  barber 
shop  waa  forced  open,  and  Bredner  was  found  lying 
on  the  floor  in  a  pool  of  blood,  moaning  piteonsly. 
On  examination  tt  wa«  ascertained  that  the  barl>er 
had  cut  his  throat  with  a  razor,  inflicting  a  terrible 
wound,  from  which  he  had  bled  profusely.  It  was 
also  ascertained  that  before  cutting  his  throat  ho  had 
swallowed  the  content^  of  a  four-ounce  vial  of  hair- 
dye.  An  ambulance  was  summoned,  and  the  barl>er 
was  removed  to  the  ^^inety-ninth-Street  Hospital  for 
treatmt*nt.  It  is  believed  bv  the  neighoors  that 
financial  difflcoltles  had  indorsed  Bredner  to  make  the 
attempts  on  his  life,  which  it  is  feared  will  prove 
snccessful.-

usual  in  former  years.  Y'esterday  tlie  camp-meeting 
had  not  probably  3,500  people  on  the  ground.  The 
day  was  beautiful  and  the  preaching  above  the 
average,  bnt  people  showed  the ,  same  apathy 
that  has  been  so  obser\-able  throughout  the 
whole  of  the  present  meeting.  At  10  o'clock 
Officer  Hubbard  rang  the  large  bell  of  the 
"Tabernacle,"  and  a  slim  audience  assembled  to

which  they  had  strayed,  a  large  number  of  persons 
stood  up  and  professed  reli^on.  The  services  of  the 
whole  camp-meeting  culminated  at  midnight  with 
appropriate  reUgioas  services.

trifle  under  the  market  rates.-  On  the  finergoods  there 
waa  a  falling  off  of  from  5  to  10  per  cent.  Bidding 
was  brisk,  and  goods  met  with  such  a  ready  sale

From  Chir  Ova  Cbrre«7<m<f«af. 
aiBAToeA,  Thuraday,  Aug.  33,  1877. 
The  sixth  regolar  day  of  the  second  meeting 
was  another  sticcesa  for  the  aaaociatlon,  for  although 
one  race  resulted  in  a  walk-over,  the  other  three  were 
interesting  to  the  ipeetatozs,  aa  *  draw  forth  mnch 
enthusiasm.    The  attendanee  wat       '>'  laife.  bnt  the 
weather  was  so  vary  wana  that  fWv     ■«!*  Inelined  to 
move  from  the  ahelter  of  the  cmw>  stand,  and.  there- 
fore, the  mutual  pools  were  not  aa  largely  patronlMd 
as  during  the  preceding  days.    Two  favoritea  oat  of 
the  three  captured  the  purses.    The  mutual  pools 
paid  on  the  ftnt  raoe,  $7  40;  the  aeeond.  $30  50. 
and  the  third,  $13  30.    The  following  are  the  de- 
tails of  the  qport :         

THE  RACES  IN  DETAIL. 

The  two  and  a  half  miles,  which  was  to  have 
commenced  the  day's  sport,  had  but  one  entry. 
Parole,  aud  he  had  a  walk-over.  After  galloping  two 
miles  and  a  qtuuter  the  horse  was  allowed  to  oome  up 
the  stretch  at  a  little  faster  gait. 

THE  KILE  AND  A  HALT. 

The  second  event  was  a  free  handicap  of  a 
mile  and  a  half,  which  had  five  entries,  but  when 
tiiey  w^ere  summoned  to  the  track  only  Vera 
Cruz,  Vermont,  and  Wash  Booth  appeared, 
and  Vera  Cruz  sold  at  $100  to  $40  over 
the  other  two.  As  the  distance  was  a 
mile  and  a  half,  they  were  started  from  the  half- 
mile  pole.  They  got  off  on  the  second  attempt,  with 
Vermont  in  front,  Wash  Booth  secoi^  and  Vera 
Cruz  third,  bnt  when  they  got  under  way  Wash 
Booth  ran  Into  the  lead,  and  made  the  pace  aa  fast  as 
he  could,  soon  getting  away  three  lengths  from  Ver- 
mont, and  rapidly  increasing  his  lead  up  to  the 
stand,  where  he  led  about  five  or  six  lengths.  Ver- 
mont secured  a  length  in  advance  of  Vera  Cruz,  who 
wss  ondera  pull.  They  ran  in  the  same  way  round 
the  turn,  but  at  the  quarter  pole  Vera  Cmz  got  on 
even  temur  with  Vermont,  while  Wash  Booth  waa 
still  pegging  away  at  his  best,  five  lengths  in  front  of 
them.  Going  down  tho  back  stretch,  the  pace  began 
to  tell  on  Vermont,  and  Vera  Cruz  gradually  moved 
past  him,  and  began  to  close  up  on  Wash  Booth,  who, 
at  the  half-mile  pole,  was  four  lengths  before  the 
favorite,  while  Vermont  dropped  b«Jc  two  lengths 
behind,  beaten.  As  they  came  round  the  lower  turn 
Vera  Cmz  closed  upon  Booth,  but  Booth  still  led 
him  a  length  when  they  turned  into  the  home  stretch, 
while  Vermont  was  far  behind.  Coming  up  the 
stretch  Vera  Cruz  got  alongside  of  Booth,  and  the 
latter  was  being  punished,  vera  Cruz  held  tiim  safe, 
nnd  won  the  race  without  being  tonched,  by  three- 
quarters  of  a  length,  in  2:391^^  Vermont  beaten  off. 
The  first  half  mile  was  run  in  53%  seconds,  and  the 
mile  from  the  starting  point  back  again  in  1:4C. 

THE  SELLING  RACE. 

The  nest  event  to  be  decided  was  a  selling 
race  of  a  mile  and  a  eighth,  and  this  brought  ont  all 
the  entries — ^Dixon  &  Wimmer's  Courier,  McDtnger's 
First  Chance,  Crouse's  Auburn,  and  Williams'  Fair 
Play.  The  latter  was  the  favorite  in  the  pools  at 
$325,  while  Auburn  sold  as  second  choice  at  $175, 
PuTt  Chance,  $110,  and  Courier,  $65.  The  four 
were  as  frsctioua  as  2-vear  olds,  but  they  were 
sent  away  on  the  third  efltort,  with  First  Chance  in 
the  rear  of  the  other  three,  who  were  on  a  line. 
Cominc  up  the  stretch  Fair  Play  and  Courier  made  a 
hot  pace  for  tho  track,  but  there  was  no  advan- 
tage gained  by  either,  as  they  passed'  the  stand 
head  and  head,  a  length  and  a  half  in 
front  of  Anbum,  who  was  a  length  ahead  of  First 
Chance-  As  they  went  around  the  turn  Pair  Play 
unshed  out  half  a  length  in  front  of  Courier,  but  the 
latter  came  again,  and  they  passed  the  quarter  pole 
simultaneous!  V,  two  lengths  ahead  of  Auburn,  who 
was  also  two  lengths  ab^ui  of  First  Chance.  Going 
alone  the  back  stretch.  Courier  and  Fair  Play  fought 
for  ue  lead,  and  they  ran  like  a  team,  stride  for 
stride,  without  ad\-antage  to  either,  and  there  was 
half  a  length  between  them  and  Auburn,

showed  bis  head  In  front  of  Courier,  whUe  Auburn. . 
at  thetr-heels,  was  a  length  and  a  half  before  First 
(Thance.  The  race  around  the  lower  turn  was  a  mag- 
nificent one,  and  created  a  great  dral  of  excitement. 
First  Chance  bad  moved  up  to  the  head  of  Auburn, 
and  the  pair  collared  Fair  Play,  while,  in  the  mean- 
time. Courier  had  pushed  his  neck  out  in  front  of  the 
three.  They  came  down  to  the  three-quarter  pole  in 
this  order,  and  turned  intO/the  home  stretch  ap- 
parently In  a  line.  There  was  now  a  itplendid 
struggle  up  the  home  stretch,  and  when  they  passed 
the  furlong  pole  neither  of  them  had  any  perceptible 
advantage.  Soon  after,  however.  Fair  Play  was 
•'cooked,'"  and  gave  It  up,  while  Auburn  stmggled 
gamely  to  the  front,  challenged  every  inch  of  the 
way  by  Courier  and  First  Chance.  The  colt  gamely 
kept  his  lead,  however,  and  won  the  race  by  a  short 
length  in  1:59%.  Tt  was  impossible  to  tell  which 
had  gained  the  second  place  from  the  stand,  bnt  the 
jmlges  plnced  First  Chance  second  '*  by  an  eyelash," 
Cotuier  third,  and  Fair  Play  six  lengths  behind.  Au- 
burn was  offered  at  auction  according  to  the  condi- 
tions of  the  race,  but  thore  was  no  offer  over  the 
price  for  which  he  was  entered,  $750,  and  so  he 
went  back  to  Mr.  Crouse's  stable. 

THE  HURDLE  RACE. 
The  last  event  was  a  handicap  hurdle  race 
of  a  mile  and  a  quarter,  over  five  hurdles,  and  the 
competitors  were  Smyth's  Waller.  Hart's  Bedding. 
Lawler's  Moonstone,  Fisher  &  Carson's  Kelso.  Reed's 
Senator  M.,  and  Daley  Brothers'  Dandy.  The  bet- 
ting showed  Waller  to  be  the  favorite  at  $350,  while 
Kelso  bronght  $300.  Redding  $150.  and  the  other 
three,  as  a  field,  $55.  They  were  started  from  the 
three-quarter  i>ole,  and  when  the  flag  fell  Dandy  was 
in  the  lead.  Kelso  second,  and  the  others  well  to- 
gether. TTie  flrrt  hurdle  was  situated  midway  down 
the  stretch,  and  Dandy,  making  the  mo«t  of  his  light 
weight,  was  the  first  to  jump  over  it.  followed  oy 
Redding.  Waller.  Moonstone,  Kelso,  and  Senator  M., 
in  the  order  named.  Moonstone  then  came  into  tho 
second  place,  but  Dandy  remained  in  front 
at  the  judges'  stand.  ffhe  second  hur- 
dle was  at  the  beginning  of  the  turn, 
and  Dandy  was  the  first  to  land  on  the  other  side, 
but  was  closely  pressed  by  Sloonstone,  who.  at  the 
moment,  received  the  lash.  Three  lengths  behind  was 
Redding  and  Waller  lapped  followed  by  Senator 
M  and  Kelso.  Going  round  the  turn  Dandy  showed  a 
length  in  front  of  Moonstone, who  was  lapped  on  the 
quarter  pole  by  Waller,  and  he  in  turn,  lapped  by 
Redding,  while  Kelso  and  Senator  M  were  sevend 
lengths  in  the  rear.  At  the  quarter  pole  Dandy  in- 
creased his  lead  to  a  length  and  a  half,  and  "U  aller 
changed  places  with  Moonstone,  poshing  half  a  length 
in  front  of  him,  A  little  way  beyond  tho  quarter 
the  third  hurdle  was  situated,  and  whenthoy  jumped 
over  it,  Waller  and  Dandy  raised  themselves  together 
and  went  over  it  simultaneously,  followed  by  Moon- 
stone. Down  the  back  stretch  they  went  and  Dandy 
again  pushed  half  a  length  In  front  of  Waller,  and 
at  the  fourth  hurdle,  just  before  reaching  the  half- 
mile  pole.  Dandy  was  leading  a  length  and  Moon- 
stone was  once  more  seconC  half  a  length  ahead 
of  Waller,  while  Redding  was  fourth.  Coming  round 
the  lower  turn  Dandy  still  showed  the 
way  and  Moonstone  was  second.  Waller  third,  bnt 
lapping  each  others  quarter.  However,  Midgely  soon 
set  sail  with  Walter,  and  before  reaching  the  three- 
quarter  pole  he  bolted  a  length  to  the  front,  but 
when  they  got  into  the  strai^t  work  Dandy  came 
again,  and  at  the  fifth  -hurdle  they  were  tctgether. 
They  jumped  over  it  bead  and  head  and  landed  ou 
even  terms,  while  Moonstone  and  Kelso  were  three 
lengths  behind  them.  In  the  run  home  Waller  came 
to  the  front  and  there  he  kept,  while  in  the  mean- 
time KelbO  came  up  and  challenged  for  the  rare.  He 
could  not  catch  Wwler.  however,  who  won  a  fine  race 
by  a  length,  but  he  gained  the  second  place  by  a  head 
from  Dandy,  who  was  two  lengths  in  advance  of 
Moonstone  fourth,  Redding  fifth,  and  Senator  M. 
last.  The  time  was  2:21^.  The  result  was  a  great 
disappointment  to  the  owners  of  Daud}'.  who  felt 
sure  of  the  race  with  the  light  weight  he  carried.

A  GAME  BJBrWEE27  AX  EUCVXN  GW  THE  KAB^ 
BCED  A2n>  AN  ELEVXN  OT  THE  SINGLE 
HEMBZBS  OF  THE  6T.   6E0R6E*»  CLUB. 

An  eleven  of  the  mairied  and  an  eleven  of 
the  single  members  of  the  St.  Oeerge's  Cricket  Club 
played  a  match  game  yesterday,  on  their  groonds  at 
Hoboken.  The  game  waa  conunenced  at  3  o'clock 
P.  M.,  with  the  single  men  first  at  the  wichets. 
Each  of  the  sidaa  had  one  inning,  and  the  single  men 
played  a  portion  of  Qieir  second,  when  the  game  was 
called,  to  be  finished^n  Saturday  next  fhe  playing 
on  both  sides  waa  strong.  There  was  but  one  mis- 
take, which  was  made  J^T  Smith,  who  "amffed"  an 
easy  ball  from  Marsh  in  the  married  men's  first  in- 
ning. Smith's  playing  was  otherwise  creditable. 
Greorge  Giles,  Jr.,  imd  Mooze  were  the  first  to  use  the 
bats  on  the  single  men's  ride.  Tonng  GUee  waa 
bowled  by  his  father  after  makiogaeven  nma,  and 
Moore,  after  seeing  Whethazn,  tiieir  best  bat,  bowled 
by  Marsh,  succiunbed  to  the  bowling  of  Giles,  Sr. 
Cashman,  who  followed  Whetham,  did  some  power- 
ful batting.  His  play  was  full  of  dash  and  YJy^'"  ^'^d 
he  made  the  best  score  of  the  day — 27^  runs. 
The  single  men  had  but  four  of  their  crack 
players  among  their  numb«-,  and  aft^  Cash- 
man  had  retired,  the  wickets  fell  in  rapid 
suocession,  the  10  going  down  for  77  runs.  The  mar- 
ried men  were  first  represented  at  the  wickets  by 
Giles,  Sr.,  and  Satterthwait  The  latter  was  deftly 
caught  by  Giles,  Jr.,  at  point,  before  be  had  scored  a 
run,  and  the  former  waa  caught  by  Whetham  off  the 
wickets,  after  making  five  points.  Mocran  waa 
caught  by  Gilbert,  who  took  a  very  hot  ball  at  short 
leg  position,  after  making  four,  and  Taibot,  who 
usuallv  runs  his  score  Into  the  double  numbers,  was 
bowled  by  Cashman  after  making  two.  The  married 
men  retired  with  a  score  of  24.  The  fielding  of  the 
single  men  in  this  inning  waa  lirilliant,  and  their  posi- 
tions, taken  under  the  captaincy  of  Whetham,  were 
admirably  chosen.  The  following  Is  the  score :

RIFLE  PRACTICE  AT  CMEEDMOOR, 


AN  EXCITING  CONTEST  BETWEEN  THE  HART- 
FORDS,  OF  BBOOKLTN,  AND  THE  LOUIS- 
VILLE CLUB — AN  EVEN  SCORE  AND  THE 
GAME  DECLARED  ''a  DRAW." 
The  game  between  the  Brookl3Ti  Hartford 
Club  and  the  Jjouisville  Greys,  which  was  played  on 
the  Union  Grounds,  yesterday  afternoon,  was  without 
exception  one  of  the  most  brilliant  exhibitions  •  of 
fielding  skill  ever  witnessed  in  this  vicinity.  At  the 
dose  of  the  ninth  inning  the  score  stood  even,  each 
clnbhaving  scored  a  run.  Two  more  innings  were 
then  played,  in  order  to  decide  the  question  of 
superiority,  bnt  as  neither  of  the  clubs  was  able  to 
add  to  its  score,  the  umpire,  at  the  ui^nt  request  of 
the  captains,  declared  the  game  a  draw,  a^^d  ordered 
that  it  be  played  off  to-day.  It  was  the  twelfth  and 
last  game  of  the  championship  series  between  these 
clubs,  and  was  witnessed  by  nearly  13,000  persons. 
The  Hartfords  wont  first  to  the  bat,  and  Mr.  Du- 
chume.  of  the  Hudson  Club,  wai^  the  umpire.  Play 
opened  favorably  for  the  Hartfords,  who  scored  a 
run  in  the  second  inning,  on  good  *  hits 
by  Habridge  and  Carey,  assisted  by  an  over- 
throw of  Snyder,  the  Louisville  catcher. 
Brilliant  fielding  was  done  by  both  nines  up  to  the 
close  of  the  fourth  inning,  when  the  Hartiotds  got 
"  rattled"  aud  allowed  the  visitors  to  score  an  un- 
earned run  off  a  sta^e  base  hit  by  Graver  and  a  two 
baser  by  Snyder,  after  two  hands  were  put  out.  This 
made  the  score  a  "tie,"  each  club  having  scored  a 
ran.  The  Hartfords  then  went  to  work  with  the 
Intention  of  wincing  a  lead  from  their  adrer- 
saries,  bat  this  ihey  vrere  unable  to  do, 
as  Inning  after  inmng  they  were  retired 
J  withoat  scoring.  Nor  did  the  visitors  fare  any 
^  better,  because  they  were  nnable  to  hit

THE  StZTT-KINTH  REGIMENT  AT  THE  RANGE 
— RECORD  OF  THE  SHOOTING— OTHER 
TEAMS  ON  THE  GRODND. 

The  Sixty-ninth  Regiment  completed  its  prac- 
tice in  the  third  class  at  Creedmoor  yesterday.  There 
were  140  men  of  all  ranks  out,  of  which  110  were 
actually  engaged  in  shooting.  The  regiment  left 
Hunter's  Point  for  the  range  on  the  9  o'clock  train, 
and  commenced  shooting  shortly  before  10  o'clock. 
CoL  James  Cavanagh  was  in  command.  XTpon  reach- 
ing the  grounds  Capt.  Kerr  was  appointed  officer  of 
the  day.  and  a  guard  was  monntea  at  the  entrance, 
and  sentinels  on  either  side  of  the  field,  as  mnch  for 
appearance  sake  as  for  anything  ehte,  as  tho  men 
were  well  behaved  and  obedient  to  orders.  Dr.  Breen, 
the  Regimental  Sunreon,  was  present  for  duty  in  case 
of  emergency.  Major  Joseph  Holland,  Brigade  In- 
spector of  Rifle  Practice,  and  Capt.  Carton,  Regimen- 
tal Inspector,  superintended  the  shooting.  Ten 
scorers  were  prmiaed  by  the  Seventh  and  Ei«hth  Regi- 
ments— only  half  the  number  ordered  to  report.  At 
the  dose  of  the  shooting  at  100  and  loi*  yards  dis- 
tance It  was  found  that  iSO  men  had  qualified  for  the 
second  class,  by  making  25  out  of  a  possible  50 
points,  and  an  hour's  recess  was  then  taken  for  ra- 
tions. It  was  quite  refreshing  to  see  the  men  march 
by  companies  from  the  firing  point  to  the  *'  mess- 
room,"  after  stacking  arms  In  projwr  order,  this 
being  an  exception  to  the  general  rule  at 
Creedmoor.  At  2:30  P.  M.  '*  assembly "  was 
beaten  by  the  drummers,  and  the  several  companies 
formed  and  marched  back  to  the  300  yards  firing 
point,  which,  with  the  range  at  400  yards,  was 
rapidly  shot  over,  and  condnded  the  day  s  practice. 
The  order  prohibiting  the  sale  of  liquors  was  en- 
forced so  far  as  the  soldiers  were  concerned,  and  al- 
though the  men  who  were  out  mainly  comprised  the 
"dnffers,"  the  remainder  of  the  regiment  having 
previoosly  won  "  Marksmaa^g "  badges,  yet  there 
WAS  a  disposition  on  thstr  part  to  shoot  as  well  as 
possible,  and  there  was  consequently  no  disturbance 
or  drunkenness.  The  scores  of  those  who  qualified 
]  at  300  and  400  yards  to  shoot  for  ' "  MarkKman'a " 
badges  were  as  follows,  the  highest  attainable  num- 
ber neing  50  points : 

Corp.  Fltrglbbon,  S7 ;  Bergt  Btnke,  34)!  Private

Tbe  regiment  finished  shooting  at  5  P.  JUL,  bat  as 
there  was  no  train  before  the  one  leaving  at  6:43 
o'dodc,  the  men  were  compeUed  to  wait  in  the  ears 
until  that  time. 

A  team  of  18  men,  comprising  members  of  the 
First  and  Ninth  Regiments,  New-Jersey  National 
Ghiard,  nracticed  under  command  of  Capt.  Nolte.  of 
the  Ninth,  at  200  and  500  yards  yesterday,  and 
teams  from  the  Eighth  and  Kltith  Regiments  x>t  this 
City,  and  Fourteenth  of  Brooklyn,  shot  over  the 
same  ranges,  in  anticipation  of  tbe  military  matehea 
to  take  place  during  the  FaU  prise-meeting  of  the

The  followinc  are  given  as  some  of  the  more  im- 
portant of  the  donations  of  Channeey  Rose  dnxtng  bii 
life: 

The  endowment  of  stindry  charitable  odxemea  at 
Charleston.  S.  C.  .      « 

A  part  of  the  pecuniary  provision  for  tho  5»eW[^ 
bovs^  Home,  New-Tork  City. 

to  "Wabash  Collese,  Crawfordsvine,  Ind.,  nma 
amounting  to  about  $S0.(»00. 

To  the  endowment  of  the  Rose  Polytechnic  Intti- 
tute,  Terre  Haute.  $4.^.000. 

To  Providence  Hospital  $4O.000. 

To  the  endowment  of  the  Vigo  Orphans'  HxxtOM,  ytA 
to  be  built,  $150,000. 

For  the  establishment  of  a  suitable  library  at  the 
State  Normal  School.  Terre  Haute,  $8,000. 

It  has  been  stated  that  Mr.  Rose  left  a  fortune  ef 
$3,000,000,  and  that  his  public  charities  have 
amounted  to  over  $2,000,000.  But  tlie  former  ii 
far  above  the  true  figures,  while  the  latter  is  made  np 
only  from  aneh  facts  as  happened  to  b^  known. 

MR,  RANDALL  OX  SUBSIDIES. 
The  Harrisbnrg  (Penn.)  Telegraph  of  the  22d 
says:  "It  would  seem  that  Mr,  Randall  Is  not  s« 
much  in  favor  of  Texa--^  Pacific  subsidies  and  schcmei 
for  improving  wasl  e  places  throughout  the  South  ai 
his  sui^porters  in  that  sectiou  have  represented-- 
rather  he  dont  want  to  be^  understood  by  those  o^ 
posed  to  these  schemes.  Some  newspapers  hav« 
been  raepinjt  Samuel  nretty  severely  for  hii 
ready  acquiescence  in  all  projects  for  the  improve- 
ment of  the  South  at  public  expense.  As  long  as  bs 
styk  to  the  Texas  FAciflc  the  tfritidsm  was  light, 
buT now  that  tho  cry  comes  up  that  he  will  aid  ap. 
propriations  for  reeonstructina;  the  M-s«iS3U;i]'l 
levees  and  for  reclaiming  the  wrste  lands  alouj*  its 
banks  and  for  a  dozen  other  schemes  which  are  well- 
nigh  chimerical,  he  finds  it  necessary*  to  put  in  a  gen> 
tie  negative.  Tliis  he  does  through  the  Ikncaner  Itu  ' 
tetiiffenrer.  Prom  it.^  columns  we  learn  that  Sir. 
Randall  has  never  expressed  himself  specifically  oq 
the  subject  of  appropriations  and  subsiaies ;  that  ths 
conversation  from  which  the  idea  that  he  would  enp* 
port  the  Southern  raid  on  tbe  Treasory  waa  gleaned 
was  general  In  its  nature  ;  that  he  only  favors  in  a 
general  way  the  building  np  of  the  South  generally 
and  the  general  development  of  its  general  ir 
sources.

Yoar  correspondent  who  criticises,  very  jnst-

Jthat  he  thooj^ht  tt  was  useless  for  him  to  add  to  the

Came  up  and  struck  aa  oar.  Come  to  open  my

good-bye  to  the  mate,  and  let  go  the  ^ar.  I>own  I 
went  again,  bat  I  came  up  and  struck  a  piece  of 
scantllne,  part  of  oar  front  deck.  I  was  then  used 
up.  I>ta  not  see  anything.  The  mate  and  two  of 
the  men  had  got  together  four  pieces  of  scantling. 
They  took  their  clothes  and  lashed  them  together. 
Mr.  UcClore  then  pushed  and  paddled  his  raft  until 
he  got  to  me  ;  then  took  my  piece,  making  five.  The 
rest  of  the  crew  were  away  off,  but,  both  parties 
pushing  and  paddliDg.  we  all  came  together,  and  I 
was  the  weakest  of  them  alL  The  rest  were  all 
good  swimmers,  and  had  swallowed  xu>  salt 
water.  To  sum  up.  thsre  were  seven  of  us  on  eight 
pieces  of  scantling:,  twe  fenders,  and  two  boards/ 
We  passed  a  horrible  day  and  night — nothing  on  us, 
up  to  our  armpits  in  watear,  and  fifty  shar^  around 
US  all  the  time.  It  was  awful  to  think  of.  Saturday 
morning  a  steamer  passed  close  to  us,  bat  in  conse- 
quence of  a  raLo-sqaall  she  did  not  see  us.  But  the 
schooner  Minnie  Repplier,  of  Philadelphia,  bound 
for  As^inwall,  Capt.  William  H.  Burton,  made  our 
small  signal,  beat  up  to  us,  and  took  us  all  on  board, 
treating  ns  with  every  kindness— -giving  clothes  and 
medicine  to  those  who  were  sick.  If  Capt.  Madge 
had  taken  his  lumber  ashore  not  one  of  us  wotud 
have  been  sared,  and  I  most  say  that  Mr.  McClure 
saved  me  by  propelling  his  raft  lo  me.  I  can  write 
no  SKxre  how.    Yours,  with  much  respect,

"The  residents  on  the  islands  in  tho  western  end  of

tion  to  temyt  tbe  ownen  thereof  to  allv  themselvee 
witih  the.Stats  and  Stripes.  The  ground  upon  which 
the  chsnjie  is  exi>ectod  is  that  the  treaty  fixing  the 
boundary  says  that  the  line  shall  follow  the  usually 
traveled  channel  througli  the  archipelago.  The  be«t 
and  deepest,  as  well  as  the  shortest  and  most  usually 
traveled  channel  is  that  north  of  P<rint  an  Pelee  Isl-

mouth  of  the  Detroit  River  to  Cleveland  and  all 
the  lower  ports.  If  the  treaty  specifies  the  most 
usually  traveled  channel,  then  th^-re  is  no  doubt  *hat 
the  Point  au  Pelee  route  is  tho  one.  The  reasons 
that  are  urged  against  the  probal  ility  of  any  change 
being  demanded  in  the  Lake  Erie  boundary  by  our 
Government,  is  that  the  fact  of  th^  Point  an  Pelee 
channel  being  the  shortest  and  best  has  been  known 
ever  since  the  lake  has  been  navigated,  and  its  entire 
control  by  tto  British  has  been  acquiesced  in  by  us 
for  nearly  a  century-,  and  we  cannot  now  ask  to  nave 
it  changed.  The  British  have  alwavs  exercised  un-

placed  light-houses  on  several  of  them." 

GOLDEN  OPFORTVNITIES  LOST, 


A  FORTtrXE  WASTED  AXD  A  LIFE  THROWN 
AWAY— DEATH  OP  SAMUEL  MCDONALD 
IK  INDIANA. 

From  the  Baltimore  Gazette^  Aug.  22. 
A  telegram. from  Terro  Haute,  Ind.,  stating 
that  Samuel  W.  McDonald,  of  Baltimore,  died  there 
Monday  night  at  8  o'clock  was  received  yesterday 
momuuE  at  the  residence  of  his  brother- 
in-law.  Baleigh  C.  Thomas,  West  Chase- 
street,  Baltimore.  The  dispatch  was  sent 
by  McDonald's  manservant,  Michael,  and  did 
not  state  tbe  cause  of  death.  Samuel  McDonald  was 
bom  in  this  city  March  9.  1S49.  He  was  the  son  of 
William  McDtmald,  a  wealthy  citizen  of  Baltimore, 
and  well  known  as  the  owner  of  Flora  Temple,  and 
was  tho  grandson  of  Gen.  William  McDonald,  who 
had  an  important  command  in  Baltimore  in  the  war 
of  1812- 14.  He  was  also  a  soldier  of  the  Revolu- 
tion. Samuel  McDonald  was  sent  to  several  schools 
in  this  city^  and  was  also  sent  abroad  to  school,  but 
he  had  but  little  taste  for  books,  giving  most  of  his 
attention  to  gvranastic  and  athletic  exercises,  in 
which  he  excelled.  On  the  9th  of  March,  1870.  he 
came  in  possession  of  on  estate,  inherited 
from  his  father,  valued  at  a  half  million  of 
dollars.  The  event  Wiis  celebrated  witli 
great  festivities  at  his  residence  in  Baltimore 
County,  Giiilford.  on  the  York  road,  near  the  country 
seat  of  A.  S.  Abell.  Esq.  Most  of  the  fa-iliion  and 
6Ute  of  Baltimore  participated,  and  young  McDonald 
on  that  day  stood  upon  tlie  threshold  of  his  career. 
Enjoying  the  advantage  of  a  handsome  personal  ap- 
pearance, standing  five  feet  10  inches  in  height,  and 
of  splendid  phvsique,  descended  from  one  of  the  old- 
est and  best  iTarviand  families,  and  in  possession  of 
large  wealth.  Eociety  was  ready  to  receive  him  with 
open  arms,  and  to  shower  itschoicestfavorsuporihim. 
He  however  threw  off  all  restraint,  and,  selecting 
his  associates  from  tbo  vicious  and  depraved,  he  was 
ostracised  from  polite  society  and  left  to  follow  the 
bent  of  his  inclination  unrestrained,  after  reoeatod 
and  unsuccessful  efforts  to  reclaim  him.  He  be^an 
to  squander  his  money  in  the  most  absurdly  lavish 
manner.  His  excesses  became  proverbial,  and  tlie 
stories  told  of  his  extravagance  and  dissipation  would 
fill  a  volume. 

When  free  from  the  influence  of  drink,  he  was  of 
quiet  demeanor,  but  when  intoxicated  was  quarrel- 
some and  only  too  anxious  to  test  liis  strength  with 
any  one  willing  to  enter  on  the  trial.  He  purchased 
a  hunting  lodge  at  Terro  Haute,  andfrequenjly  made 
excursions  there,  carrying  with  hira  a  number  of  his 
boon  companions,  and  indulging  there  in  the  wildest 
and  most  extravagant  orgies.  While  in  Baltimore, 
on  the  night  of  June  22.  187-1,  hia  name  berame 
connected  with  the  Amos  tragedy,  the  details  of 
which  are  still  fresh  iu  tho  public  mind.  On  the 
night  named.  Berry  Amos,  a  well-known  sporting 
character,  and  a  man  of  unusual  size,  but  of  an  amia- 
ble disposition,  together  with  WiUiam  Carroll  and 
others,  were  gathered  in  tho  bar-room  of  tho  Sher- 
wood House  drinking,  when  Sam  McDonald  entered. 
with  several  other  young  men.  Some  words  ensued 
between  McI>onald  and  Amos,  a  Kcufflo  followed, 
and  Amos  received  sevfral  >i.ivage  cuts  in  the  left 
arm.  One  of  these  cuts  reached  the  head  of  the 
huraems,  cuttinj:  off  a  frai^nent ;  the  other  pene- 
trated down  into  the  cavity,  cuttini;  the  sub-clavian 
artery,  which  wa-snocessarilya  fatal  wound,  and  a  third 
cut  was  through  the  bieeus  muscle  of  the  left  arm, 
and  severing  tli«  brarhial  artery.  Thi.s  wound  miuht 
produce  deatli,  but  wa.s  not  necessarily  fatal  in  ciwie 
of  prompt  surgical  attention.  Amos,  secompanied 
by  Carroll,  prweeded  to  *■  Kussell's."  at  the  comer  of 
Baltimore-street  and  Centre  Market  space,  and  died 
in  a  half-hour.  SIcDnnald  was  arre-sted  and  held  at 
tho  Middle  District  Station.  The  next  day  the  Coro- 
ner'8jur>- returned  a  verdict  of  murUc-r  against  Mc- 
Donald, and  he  was  committed  to  jail  for  trial.  Wil- 
liara  Claris  and  Henry  Golibart.  who  were  with  Mc- 
Donald at  the  time,  were  also  arre.'(t»'d,  and  tlio  three 
were  indicted.  The  knife  with  which  Amos  was  cut 
was  never  found,  though  a  diligent  search  for  It  was 
made  in  the  bed  of  Jones'  Falls,  near  the  Fayette- 
street  bride,  wliere  it  was  supposed  to  have  been 
thrown.  McDonald  removed  hlJi  trial  to  Baltimore 
County.  It  wa.<  commenced  In  tho  Circuit  Court  at 
TowBo'ntown  on  Monday.  Oct.  5,  and  concluded  on 
Saturday  monung  following.  The  evidence  was  of  a 
contradictory  character,  and  tho  jur^'.  giving  the 
prisoner  the  benefit  of  the  doubt  created  by  the  eon- 
tlicting  testimonv.  rendered  a  verdict  of  acquittal. 
McDonald  wat  ably  drfendeil  by  Hon-  WlUiam  Pink- 
ney  >VTivte.  Clark  and  Golibart  were  also  di^^chargeU. 
fmmoSiatelv,  after  McDonald's  acquittal  he  left 
for  Terre  itante.  where  he  has  since  remained, 
spending  his  time  iu  gunning  ami  in  dri\in^  fast 
horsen  over  the  es^-ellent  roads  of  that  vicinity. 
Occasionally  he  wouJd  invite  his  favorite  compun- 
ious  in  Baltimoro  to  ^'islt  him,  and  they  would  re- 
turn with  stories  of  hU  gsy  life  at  his  elegant 
mansion  at  Terre  Haute.  About  a  year  ago  he 
was  taken  suddenly  ill.  and  his  life  was  de.^palred 
of.  His  mother.  Mrs.  De  Speyr.  was  sent  for.  and 
with  others  of  the  family  proceeded  to  Terro 
Haute,  and  remained  with  him  until  he  was  con- 
valescent. Returning  to  Baltimore,  she  left  for 
Europe  with  her  husband,  and  took  up  her  abode 
in  Prance.  Before  leaving  there  was  a  dispute 
between  the  mother  and  son  over  the  sum  of 
$100,000  he  had  placed  in  her  hands.  He  alleged 
he  had  given  it  to  her  for  safe  keeping,  while  she 
claimed  that  it  had  been  a  gift  from  nim.  The  mat- 
ter was  compromisetl  by  the  division  of  the  amount 
between  them.  As  soon  as  his  health  was  restored 
McDonald  entered  on  his  old  course  of  life,  which 
has  terminated  in  his  death  at  the  ^rly  aee  of  29 
years.  It  is  the  opinion  of  those  hero  best  infonned 
as  lo  his  affairs  that  of  his  handsome  estate  but  little 
will  be  saved  from  tho  wreck.  When  remonstrated 
with  by  hi-s  friends  upon  his  t-xtravacanee  and  profli- 
gacy, his  answer  always  was  that  his  money  would 
but  him  his  life.  This  seemed  to  be  his  positive  be- 
lief, and  bis  friends  think  that  with  his  death  will 
vanish  the  In^t  vestige  of  the  fortune  he  inherited 
under  such  brilliant  promise.

A  COXXECTICUT  LOGGERS  LIFE. 
The  Springfield  (Mass. )  Republican  of  the  2l3t 
inst.  says  :  *'  The  log-drivers  and  lumbermen  who 
passed  this  city  last  week,  clearing  the  coast  of  pine 
and  spruce  logs,  lead  an  exciting  life,  which  partly  re- 
pays them  for  their  seeming  hardships.  A  gang  of 
25  of  them  were  recently  seen  taking  their  morning 
meal  in  the  rain  on  the  shore,  and  a  heartier,  health- 
ier set  of  men  can  seldom  be  found.  Baked  beans, 
butt«fr,  biscuit,  gingerbread,  and  tea,  all  cold,  were 
eaten  with  a  relish  that  would  give  a  sick  man  appe- 
tite, and  most  of  them  use  plug  tobacco.  The  cook 
furnishes  them  food  at  5  ffnd  9  A.  M.  and  2  and  8 
P.  M.,  the  first  and  last  meals  being  eaten  in  the 
camp-tent,  and  the  others  upon  the  river  brink 
wherever  they  happen  to  bo  at  work.  Several 
bateaux  carry  the  nrovision,  baggage,  tents, 
and  tools,  and  when  these  are  unloaded  at 
flie  camp  the  l>t>uta  are  used  for  transports 
for  the  men.  They  work  simultaneously  on 
either  shoft,  the  majority  rolling  the  logs 
into  tbe  stream  with  caut-hoofcs,  and  the  more  ex- 
pert and  adventurous  shove  them  off  into  the  chan- 
nel with  long  spike  poles,  and  walk  on  the  loose  logs 
as  if  they  felt  at  home  there.  It  requires  some  ex- 
perience to  do  this  safely,  as  well  as  a  knowledge  of 
currents  and  lighters.  The  more  rapid  the  current 
the  greater  the  necessity  of  keeping  the 
logs  close  together,  and  the  smaller  the 
timber  the  quicker -mnst  be  the  movement  of  the 
navigator,  borne  of  these  meu  have  known  no  Sun- 
day, no  day  of  rest,  no  other  home  than  tent  and 
camp  life  lor  135  days.  They  commenced  the  drive 
April -I  last,  and  have  been  moving  down  the  stream, 
with  their  logs  ahead,  ever  since,  at  the  average  rate 
of  atwut  two  miles  ft  day.  Hartford,  Conn.,  is  their 
lowest  destination,  and  after  taking  a  hasty  look  at 
our  tamer  civilization,  they  expect  to  return  to  their 
frontier  homes  to  get  tho  timberready  for  next  year's 
drive.  Spruce  logs  are  delivered  iu  Hartford  for 
about  $9  a  thousand  feet,  and  the  best  white  pine  at 
twice  that  sum," 

DironCE  FROJI  A  MOTHER-IXLAW. 
The  Chicago  Times  of  Tuesday  says  :  "  Mrs. 
Lena  White,  who  was  married  to  George  White  In 
the  City  of  Chi<;sgO  on  the  8th  day  of  February 
last,  has  filed  a  bill  in  chancer)-,  to  obtain  a  divorce 
from  her  mother-in-law.  She  states,  In  her  petition 
for  a  separate  maintenance,  that  soon  after  her  mar- 
riage she  went  to  live  with  her  husband's  mother  at 
No.  272  West  Harrison- street.  She  alleges  that  Mrs. 
Francis  White,  who  suslaiua  the  maternal  relation 
aforesaid  to  her  husband,  is  a  common  scold,  and  that 
soon  after  she  came  to  reside  there  with  her  husband 
the  old  ladv  set  about  making  it  warm  for  her 
daughter-inlaw.  The  husband  appeared  to  take 
sides  with  hia  mother  against  her,  snd  life  was  re- 
lieved of  monotony  by  the  burden  of  it.  I*euB  claims 
that  she  is  unable  to  maintain  herself  any  longer, 
and  she  desires  the  court  to  cause  her  husband  to  set 
apart  an  allowance,  which  she  says  he  ia  abundantly 
able  to  do,  for  her  support."

The  Salt   Lake  (Utah)  Herald  of  the    13th

Being  lately  made  aware  of  the  fact  that  I  be-

of  a  number  of  ladles  and  gentlemen,  I  feel  that  a 
public  apology-  from  me  is  due.  Realiring  that  so- : 
clety  justly  claims  better  conduct,  I  have  concluded 
to  abstain  from  the  use  of  liquors,  and  will  reward 
handsomely  any  person  who  sees  me  drink  again,  if 
J  am  so  thoughtless  as  to  do  so.  I  will  say  to  those

dealer,  entered  into  a  contract  with  the  company, 
whereby  the  latter  was  to  sell  bim  8,000  tons  of  ice 
at  $2  50  per  ton,  and  to  supply  2, OOOtons  of  the 
ice  to  him  per  year  from  Jan.  1,  1870,  to  Dec  31, 
1873.  The  ice  was  to  be  delivered  each  day,  Sun- 
days excepted,  from  the  defendant's  depot  in  this 
City.  In  case,  however,  of  the  company's  inability 
to  lay  np  a  full  supply  of  ice,  or  of  other  casualties, 
they  were  bound  to  deliver  to  him  such  a  pro- 
portion of  the  2,000  tons  per  year  as 
the  quantity  laid  up  by  them  bore  to 
a  full  supply.  On  May  1.  1870,  the  comxMny 
represented  to  him  that  they  had  been  unable  to  lay 
np  a  full  supply  of  ice  for  that  year,  and  that  the 
proportionate  amount  to  be  supplied  him  for  the 
year  would  be  only  587  tons.  They  requested  him 
to  sign  an  agreement  to  accept  that  quantity  a  s  his 
full  share.  In  case  he  refused,  they  said  they  would 
Bupplyhimwithnoice.  He,  believinx  these  statements, 
signed  such  an  agreement.  He  says  hj  learned  after- 
ward that  the  company's  representations  were  false  and 
had  been  made  to  deceive  and  defraud  him,  to  entrap 
him  into  the  agreement  mentioned,  and  to  deprive 
him  of  the  full  benefits  of  his  original  contract.  Ha 
says  the  company  had  in  1870  laid  up  a 
full  supply  of  ice.  but  that  the  market 
price  of  ice  having  greatly  risen  that  year,  the 
company  "resorted  to  the  false  'pretense 
of  a  short  supply  in  order  to  reserve  to  itself  and 
defraud  the  plaintiff  out  of  the  difference  between 
tbe  contract  and  market  price  upon  1,413  tons  of 
ice.  that  qiumtity  being  the  diffci-ence  between  the 
2,000  tons  deliverable  under  the  ssid  contract  dur- 
ing the  year  1870  and  the  087  tons  which  the  de- 
fendant falsely  and  fraudulently  pretended  as  ofor^ 
said  was  all.  that  was  deliverable  under  the  said  con- 
tract during  that  year."  The  plaintiff  therefore 
aiked  for  a  rescission  of  his  agreement  made  with 
the  company  in  May.  1870,  and  for  $25,000  dam- 
ages. The  company  in  its  answer  set  forth  that  in 
1870  it  had  not  laid  up  a  full  supply  of  ice,  and  that 
the  plaintiff  voluntarily  entered  into  the  agreement 
to  take  587  tons  instead  of  2.000.  The  compahy 
denied  all  fraud,  fal.se  representations,  and  threats. 
The  company  also  alleged  that  accor^^Ung  to  the  c<m- 
tract  with  the  plaintiff  it  was  agreed  that  the'  plain- 
tiff should  pay  it  $1  for  every  ton  less  than  2,00O 
which  he  failed  to  take,  and  that  It  was  to  pay  him 
$1  for  every  ton  under  that  quAutity  which  It  failed 
to  supply. 

A  suit  similax  to  this  was  broueht  against  the  com- 
pany by  John  Kemp  and  others,  and  the  Court  of 
Appeals  affirmed  a  judgment  obtained  against  the 
company.  TThe  Kemp,  case  Is  referred  to  by  Judge 
Van  Hoesen  In  Lis  decision  of  the  present  case. 
Among  other  things,  the  Judge  says  ;  '"  1  think  I  am 
bound  to  assume  that  the  Court  of  Appeals  has  de- 
cided that  there  was  some  evidence  in  the  Kemp  case 
of  fraud  or  mistake,  and.  I  cannot  shut  my  eyes  to 
the  fact  that  both  the  Special  and  General  Terms 
of  this  court  considered  that  the  evidence  in  that 
case  established  the  fraud  charged  in  the  complaint. 
Although  I  may  not  be  absolutely  bound  to  follow  in 
this  case  the  findings  of  fact  madia  In  the  Kemp  case, 
I  cannot  forgot  that  the  uncertainty  of  the  law  is  one 
of  the  reijroache;;  cast  upon  It^  administration,  and  I 
deem  it  proper  that  the  Special  Term  (where  there 
has  been  no  reversal  upon  appeal)  should  always 
make  the  same  decision  on  the  same  state  of  facts. 
Suitors  will  then  know  what  judgment  to  expect 
upon  a  given  state  of  facta,  and  will  not  be  compelled 
to  speculate  as  to  the  idiosyncrasies  of  each  jiarticu- 
lar  Judge  and  the  effect  those  idiosyncrasies  are 
likely  to  produce.  I  do  not  mean  to  dispute  the  cor- 
rectness of  the  findings  in  the  Kemp  case.  If  the 
Question  were  a  uew  one.  I  should  find  that  the 
efendant  obtained  releases  from  the  dealers 
by  fraud  and  deceit.  I  do  not  regard  the 
statement  that  29  per  cent,  was  the  proportion  each 
dealer  was  entitled  to  as  an  innocent  mistake  oc- 
easioned  by  an  honest  misconstruction  of  the  con- 
tract. The  dealers  understood,  as  the  defendant  in- 
tended they  should  understand,  that  the  Knicker- 
bocker Ice  Compitny  had  laid  up  no  more  ice  than' 
was  Hufflcient  to  supply  each  dealer  with  29  tons  on 
every  100  tons  cafte'd  for  by  the  contracts.  Tho 
statement,  as  we  are  now  told  the  defendant's  officers 
understood  it,  was  merely  that  the  new  jcfc  harvested 
by  the  defendant  amounted  to  about  twenty-nine  hun- 
dredths of  the  total  capacity  of  all  Its  icehouses.  Tbe 
company  willfullv  misled  the  dealers.  •  *  *  The 
evidence  of  Mr.  Moses  G.  I^onard  proves  that  there 
was  a  willful  cuucealmout  of  facts,  an  underhand  ar- 
riingement,  a  secret  harvesting  of  ice  in  the  name  of 
another  company,  the  object  of  wbicii  was  to  keep 
the  dealers  and  the  public  from  learning  the  actual 

Snantity  of  ice  which  tho  defendant   might   gather." 
odgment  is  given  for  the  plaintiff  for  3p3.U90  -LS.

"  TBE  PULLING  MACUIKE,'' 

SERIOVS  ZFFECTS  OP  A  PRACTICAL  JOKE— 
THE  VICTIM  SUES  FOB  $5,000  DA1£AG£S 
— THE  DEPENDANTS  ARRESTED. 
What  is  known  as  the  **  pulling  machine  " 
has  been  recently  introduced  into  several  of  the 
liquor  saloons  of  this  City  and  has  proved  a  great  at- 
traction in  some  of  the  places  in  which  a  practical 
joke  is  relished  by  the  frequenters,  at  no  matter 
what  cost  to  the  victims.  The  "machine"  consists 
of  two  large  rings  suspended  from  the  wall  of  the 
saloon  and  connecting  with  an  index  to  indicate  the 
amount  of  force  which  any  person  can  exert  who 
chooses  to  pull  on  the  rings.  But  behind  the  bar  is  a 
hidden  electrical  machine  or  galvanic  battery,  con- 
necting with  the  rings  by  means  of  wires  run  under- 
neath the  floor,  and  when  an  unsuspecting  person 
has  been  induced  to  '*  try  his  strength  "  by  pulling  on 
the  lings,  and  by  a  vigorous  effort  has  drawn 
himself  up  from  the  floor,  he  receives  a  shock  from 
the  "masked  battery,"  which  may  simply  temporari- 
ly affect  his  nerves  or  may  seriously  injure  bis  sys- 
tem, it  all  depending  on  whether  he  is  so  constituted 
as  to  be  mentally  and  physically  a  proper  or  au  im- 

S roper  subject  to  operate  upon  in  this  rude  fashion. 
I  he  escapes  without  much  harm,  it  is  "  drinks  all 
round, "  and  tlie  object  of  the  saloon-keeper  is  served. 
If  the  effect  is  injurious  and  he  gets  angry,  he  is 
laughed  at,  and  generally  slinks  away  anU  says 
noting  further  about  the  matter. 

Such  a  machine  was  in  tbe  saloon  of  James 
Stewart,  on  the  north-west  comer  of  Pearl -.«itreet 
and  Malden^ane,  and  on  the  13th  nit.  William  Web- 
ber, a  stevedore,  whose  place  of  business  is  at  No. 
67  South-street,  and  who  resides  iu  Williamsburg, 
was  Induced,  as  he  charges,  by  Patrick  Reed, 
Patrick  Weir,  and  Daniel  Connor,  all  stevedores, 
to  '■  try  his  strength  "  on  Stewarts  machine.  The 
result  was  that  Webber  was  "  shocked  "  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  excite  his  bitter  resentment,  and  be 
brought  suit  in  the  Marine  Court  to  recover  $5,000 
each  from  Stewart,  Reed,  Weir,  and  Connor.  In  his 
comphdut  he  says  that  the  defendants  did  "  con- 
trivingly,  knowingly,  wickedly,  wrongfully,  ma- 
liciously, and  falsely"  represent  to  him  that  the 
machine  was  harmless.  He  pulled  on  the  rings  and 
raised  his  body,  weighing  230  pounds,  "  clear  of  the 
floor,"  and  then  he  goes  on  to  say  "  that  Ste^-art, 
(who  was  behind  the  bar,)  or  his  barkeeper,  by 
means  of  a  galvanic  battery,  transmitted  to  the  rings 
a  powerful  and  parab'zing  current  and  shock  of  elec- 
tTicIty,  whereby  deponent  was  for  three  minutes 
wholly  unable  to  release  his  hold  from  the  rings 
or  regain  his  footing,  and  was  thus  kept 
suspended,  writhing,  and  suffering  great 
torture,  pain,  and  anguish  in  his 
limbs  and  body  for  the  space  of  tlie  said  three  miu- 
utes."  when  the  current  was  stopped  by  Stewart  or 
his  bar-tender.  While  he  wastuus  suspended  he 
says  that  Weir  and  Connor  were  "laughmg  at  and 
deriding",  him,  and  telling  him  to  "spit  on  his 
hands.  He  alleges  that,  in  consequence  of  the 
shock,  he  has  "sustained  great  and  incurable 
wounds,  lesions,  strains,  and  bruises  in  and  upon  his 
body,  and  particularly  in  the  region  of  bis  stomach 
and  umbilfcus."  and  has  been  put  to  great  expense 
for  medical  treatment. 

Edward  W.  Owen,  a  physician,  of  No.  541  Grand- 
Street,  WiUiomsbai^h,  makes  an  affidavit  that  he 
fonnd  Webber's  umbilicus  enlarged  to  an  na- 
nsuol  size,  very  tender  upon  pressure,  and 
greatly  tumefied,  aud  that  he  believes  it  will 
result  In-  the  rupture  of  the  umbilicus,  and 
very  probably  permanent  bodily  injarj-. 
Dr.  Owen  says  he  is  familiar  with  the  effects  of  elec- 
tricity, and  that  ' '  in  the  hands  of  an  inexperienced 
and  ignorant  oi>erator  it  may  occasion  a  greet  deal  of 
serione  mischief.  Blindness  has  been  eaosed  by  it, 
and  rupttires,  cramps,  hysterical  fits,  and  palsies  have 
been  induced  by  tbe  Improper  administering  of  too 
powerful  shocks  of  it,  aud  apoplectic  attacks  have 
been  produced  by  its  improper  use." 

AU  the  defendants  were  arrested  yesterday,  and 
gave  $500  bail  each  in  the  Sheriff's  office,  under 
orders  of  arrest  issued  by  Judge  Sinnott.  Mr.  Je  >se 
K.  Furlong,  counsel  for  Webber,  says  that  this  is  the" 
first  case  in  which  proceedings  have  been  taken,  but 
that  It  wlU  probably  not  be  the  last  as  Webber  is  by 
no  means  the  only  victim  who  has  been  seriously  in- 
jured in  the  mamier  described.

The  case  in  which  Eberhard  Wiegand,  the 
Councilor  of  Wax  of  the  Duchy  of  Hesse,  is  charged 
with  embezzling  20,000  florins,  was  called  up  for  ex- 
amination yesterday  before  Commissioner  Osbom, 
pursuant  to  adjournment.  £x-CK>v.  Salomon  ap- 
pealed for  the  German  Government,  and  «x-Jadge 
Dittenhoefer  for  the  accused.  Mr.  Dlttenhoefer 
said  he  waa  ready,  but  Mr.  Salomon  asked 
for  a  postponement,  saying  he  had  received  a  tele- 
gram from  Berlin  that  the  docnmentary  evidence  in 
the  case  had  been  forwarded  on  the  16th  inst.,  and 
wonld  probably  be  here  soon,  and  that  he  could  do 
nothing  in  the  meanl^me.  .Mr.  Dittenhoefer  said  that 
his  client  had  already  been  kept  four  weeks  in  ^ail 
awaiting  evidence,  and  that  thb  was  the  first  time 
a  leeal  excuse  bad  been  given  for  a  delay.  He 
did  not  feel  like  consenting  to  a  postponement 
unless  counsel  for  the  German  Qovemmsnt  would

A  DISCARDED  SON 
ARRESTED  ON  CHARGES  OF  FOROERT  AND 
FALSE  PRETENSES— EDWARD  COLEMAN'S 
DOWNWARD  CAREER — H8  IS  HELD  FOR 
TRIAL  m  DEFAULT  OP  BAIL. 
Edward  E.  Colemas,  of  the  comer  of  Gay- 
street  and  Waverley.place,  waa  arraigned,  yesterday 
aftwnooB,  before  J'ustice  Wendell,  in  Jefferson  Mar- 
ket Police  Court,  on  two  different  charges  of  forgery 
and  one  of  false  pretenses.  Coleman's  father  is  a 
well-to-do  marble  merchant,  of  the  firm  of  Coleman 
&  Volk,  of  Thirtieth-street  and  Tenth-avenue.  The 
young  man  has  Utely  got  into  bo  many  disreputallle 
scrapes  that  he  has  been  discarded  by  his  father.  He 
had  long  been  a  customer  at  the  cigar  store  of  David 
Montis,  at  No.  85  Christopher-street,  and  on  the  24th 
of  lost  July  he  owed  $3  there  and  $15  to  Meyer 
Manns,  father  of  David,  who  keeps  a  tailor  shop  at  No. 
129  Waverley-plaoe,  fora  coat.  Going  to  the  cigar 
store  on  that  day,  he  sala  that  aa  he  was  about  to 
leave  the  City  on  a  Summer  vacation  he  wished  to 
settle  up  his  account,  and  offered  a  check  drawn  by 
James  H.  Daly  to  his  order  on  the  National  Shoe 
and  Leather  Bank  for  $36  60.  Coleman  also  told 
David  ManuB  to  take  out  his  father's  bill  of  $15  for 
a  coat.  Being  on  old  etistomer  and  well  known  to 
him,  Mr.  Menus,  without  any  hesitation,  accepted  the 
check,  gave  Coleman  receipts  for  his  accounts,  and 
$18  OG  in  change.  Coleman  had  frequently  got 
checks  cashed  by  Manus,  but  when  this  one  was  pre- 
sented at  the  bank  it  waa  ascertained  that  there  was  ' 
no  such  person  as  the  ostensible  maker  known  there. 
On  the  same  day  Coleman  presented  a  check  for  $35, 
purporting  to  be  drawn  by  Edward  Mitchell,  Execu- 
tor, to  Coleman's  order,  at  the  hardware  store  of 
Gwynne  &  Richardson,  on  the  comer  of  Eleventh 
and  Hudson  streets,  in  payment  of  $2,  which  he  had 
previously  borrowed.  Here  he  told  the  same  story 
that  he  did  to  Manus— that  he  was  going 
awav  on  vacation  and  wanted  to  "square  up."  The 
check  was  taken  and  $33  given  in  change.  On  the 
same  day,  with  the  same  story,  Coleman  got  a  check 
for  $<>2  cashed  by  John  Rueter,  an  acquaintance,  of 
No.  770  Greenwich- street.  This  aluo  purported  to 
be  drawn  by  Mitchell  to  Coleman's  order.  Both  the 
Mitchell  checks  were  drawn  on  the  National  Bank  of 
the  Bepublio,  and  when  presented  were  dis- 
covered to  be  forgeries.  On  the  same  day. 
it  is  reported  by  the  Police,  Coleman  succeeded 
in  getting  SI  liO  from  Park  and  Tilford  by  similar 
means,  and  various  amounts  from  some  half  dozen 
Other  parties,  none  of  whom  have  as  yet  entered  com- 

Slaints.  After  the  operations  of  that  day  Coleman 
isappeared  and  managed  to  elude  all  search  until 
yesterday  morning,  when  he  was  arrested  by  Officer 
Sehmitt,  of  the  Sixteenth  Precinct,  near  the 
comer  of  Tenth-avenue  and  Twentieth  street. 
Sehmitt.  took  Coleman  before  Justice  Wandell, 
where  Rueter  and  Manus  entered  complaints  against 
him.  Justice  Wandell  committed  the  prisoi^er  for 
trial  in  default  of  $1,000  bail  for  false  pretensee  on 
the  complaint  of  Manns,  and  held  him  tor  examina- 
tion on  charges  of  forgery  in  the  cases  of  Kueter  nnd 
Gwynne  &  Richardson.  It  Is  expected  that  quite 
a  number  of  additional  complaintsfor  forgery  will  be 
entered  against  Colenuui  to-day.

BOW  A  COXVIVIAL  PASTY  BROKE  VT. 
The  suit  of  Thomas  H.  Madden  against 
Bernard  Ck>odwin  was  before  Judge  Robinson"  in 
Chambers  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  yesterday, 
on  a  motion  bv  the  defendant  to  vaca^  on  order  of 
arrest  hod  agunst  him.  It  seems  that  on  June  23 
the  plaintiff,  his  brother  and  two  women  went  to 
Pleasant  Valley  to  attend  a  sociable  held  in  the  hotel 
ot  that  place.  The  party  returned  to  this  City  about 
midnight,  aud  stopped  with  two  other  men  at  the  de- 
fendant's saloon  in  West  Twenty  third-street  to  get 
some  lager  beer.  Tbey  seated  themselves  at  a  long 
tijble  and  called  for  beer,  at  the  same  time  inviting 
the  defendant  to  drink  with  them.  He 
was  In  no  way  loth  to  do  so,  and  ac- 
cepted the  invitation.  Two  or  three  additional 
rounds  of  beer  were  subsequently  called  for  and 
drunk,  the  defendant  joining.  The  party  sang  a  few 
songs  in  which  Goodwin  also  took  part.  The  plain- 
tiff says  that  Goodwin  then  became  obstreperous  and 
used  Insulting  language  to  the  women.  They  were 
provoked  at  tbis,  and  aU  arose  to  leave,  when  Good- 
win siezed  the  plaintiff  by  the  shoulders,  pushed  him 
out  into  the  street,  and  drawing  a  pistol  from  his 
pocket,  shot  at  the  plaintiff.  The  ball  passed  through 
the  upper  portion  of  the  tall  hat  worn  by  the  plain- 
tiff. The  latter  brought  a  suit,  making  these  ^ege- 
gations,  and  caused  the  defendant  to  be  arrested 
and  held  in  $3,O0O  baiL  In  moving  to 
vacate  the  order  of  arrest,  Goodwin  put  in 
an  affidavit,  stating  that  the  plaintiff  and  hij;  party 
on  the  night  in  question  seemed  drunk  and  were  dis- 
orderly, sang  abusive  songs  and  swore.  He  says  he 
asked  them  to  leave  the  place,  but  they  said  they 
would  remain  as  long  as  Uiey  had  money  to  pay  for 
beer.    He  then  put  tht^m  out.    He  says    he  heard  a 

gUtol  shot,  but  the  pistol  was  not  fired  by  him,  as 
e  had  none.  Goodwin  says  he  was  indicted,  but 
that  the  District  Attorney,  with  the  consent  of  the 
court,  entered  a  nolle  prosequi.  Messrs.  Richard 
Busteed  &  Son,  who  appeiared  for  the  plaintiff,  put 
in  answering  affidavits  denying  that  the  plaintiff  or 
any  one  of  his  party  were  drunk,  and  stating  posi- 
tively that  the  defendant  bad  fired  the  pistol.  After 
some  argument  Judge  Robinson  denied  the  motion 
to  vacate  the  order  of  arrest,  with  $10  costs,  to 
abide  the  event  of  the  action. 

A  DEPVTT  SBERIFrs  STAT  i.Y  A  CELL. 

The  contempt  proceedings  against  Police  Of- 
ficer Johnson  and  Capt.  Foley,  of  the  Tenth  Precinct, 
were  before  Judge  Sinnott,  in  Marine  Court,  Cham- 
bers, yesterday.  Johnson  and  Foley  were  charged 
with  contempt  of  court  in  causing  the  arrest  aud  de- 
tention of  Deputy  Sheriff  Daniel  £.  Finn  on  the  8th 
inst.,  while  the  latter  was  endeavorlnz  to  serve  au 
order  of  arrest  on  the  defendant  in  tbe  breach  of 
promise  case  of  Banquert  against  Lissuer.  Finn  was 
waiting  for  Llssnor  on  the  comer  of  Bowery  aud  Ca- 
nal-street, and  says  he  was  assaulted  by  Johnson 
and  token  to  tbe  station-house,  where  Capt.  Foley 
ordered  him  to  bo  detained  for  the  night.  Ffain 
swore  that  he  showed  his  authority  to  the  officers. 
In  opposition  Officer  Johnson  averred  tiiat  his  orders 
were  to  keep  the  comer  of  Canal-street  and  Bowery 
clear  of  loungers.  On  making  his  rounds  at  about 
10  P.  M.,  on  the  8th  inst..  he  saw  Finn  sitting  on  a 
hydrant  at  the  comer,  and  ordered  him  to  move  on. 
Finn  became  abusive,  but  showed  no  badge  or  other 
authority,  and  the  officer  says  he  arrested  liim  for 
disorderly  conduct.  On  their  way  to  the  station- 
house  Finn  Invited  the  officer  to  "strip  andfi^rfitit 
out"  in  the  back  yard  of  the  station-house.  Capt.

STRAXGE  PRACTICE  BT  A  LAWYER. 
Some  rather  strange  practice  on  the  part  of  a 
lawyer  was  shown,  before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  in 
Chambers  of  the  Supreme  Court,  yesterday,  on  an 
arcument  to  dismiss,  as  sham,  the  answer  in  the  suit 
of  XiOuis  Jtiilliard  and  another  against  Benjamin 
Tomes  and  another.  The  complaint  in  the  action 
sets  forth  that  the  plaintiffs  compose  the  firm  of 
Juilliard  ft  Co., aud  that  the  defendants  composed  tbe 
firm  of  Tomes  &  Co.  It  further  states  that  the  de- 
fendants are  indebted  for  goods  sold  and  delivered 
between  certain  dates.  The  answer  In  the  case  is  by 
Benjamin  Tomes,  who  "  denies  each  and  every  alle- 
gation contained  in  the  complaint."  Appended  to 
the  answer  is  a  verification  "in  which  George  H. 
Forster,  one  of  the  defendants'  connsel,  swears  that 
the  statements  of  the  answer  are  true  to  his  own 
knowledge,  &c,  and  that  his  information  wms  derived 
from  Tomes'  partner.  Tomes  having  been  atisent 
from  the  ttty  at  the  lime.  Tomes  Subsequently  re- 
turned to  the  City,  and  was  examined  as  a  party  be- 
fore trial.  He  then  admitted  tbe  truth  of  some  of 
the  statements  in  the  complaint,  such  as  his  partner- 
■hip  with  the  other  defendant,  toe  fact  that  Ms  firzn 
owed  some  money  to  tbe  plaintiffs  for  goods,  &c. 
Tomes  also  swore  that  he  could  not  verify  such  an 
answer  aa  Forster  had  put  in.  Judge  Von  Brunt  took 
tbe  papers  on  the  motion  to  strike  out  the  answer.

their  avowed  public  purposes,  but  merely  as  a  pri- 
vate Bi>ecnlalion.  Judge  Donohue  reserved  his  de-

had  ever  refused  to  provide  for  his  children.  He  wsa 
ordered  to  proWde  $7  a  week  for  his  family,  and  was

trate. The  case  was  put  upon  the  calendar  of  tbe

Bible  to  seetire  the  attendance  of  the  witnesses  to  the

SOW  HE  CAUGHT  A  PIKE. 
Tho  following  fish  story  is  the  contribution  of 
the  Detriot  Free  Frcs$:  "On  Saturday  morning 
while  George  "W*  Osbom,  of  this  dty,  was  fishing 
from  tbe  east  end  of  the  long  crib  off  Stoney  Island, 
with  a  hand-line  and  fioat,  he  had  occasion  to  leave 
for  a  few  minutes,  and  mode  his  line  secure  to  the 
crib,  as  he  supposed.  XTpou  his  return,  however, 
nothing  was  to  be  seen  of  his  fishing-tackle.  Five 
minutes  later  tbe  fioat  was  observed  upon  the  sur- 
face of  the  water  300  or  400  feet  away  from  the 
crib,  alternately  appearing  and  disappearing, 
and  working  toward  the  middle  of  the  river. 
There  wns  no  small  boat  In  the  vicinity  with 
the  aid  of  which  to  recover  ^e  tackle,  and  the  float 
finally  becvne  lost  in  the  distance.  This  was  be- 
tween 8  and  9  o'clock  In  the  forenoon.  Between  3 
and  4  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  Mr.  Osbom  walked 
down  to  the  end  of  the  Canada  Southern  Ferry  Dock, 
and,  looking  over  tho  western  side,  discovered  his 
line  and  fioat  near  the  dock.  "With  considerable  risk 
of  getting  into  the  river  ho  went  down  to  the  water, 
some  10  or  12  feet,  and  got  hold  of  one  end  of  the 
line,  but  found  something  lively  tugging  at  the  other 
end  of  It.  The  telegraph  operator  at  the  ferry  sta- 
tion now  came  to  his  aid.  ana  with  the  help  of  a  pike- 
pole  a  lO'pound  pike  was  landed,  znore  thui  six  hoars 
after  it  had  taken  the  hook."

READJUSTMENT  IN  YIRGIXIA. 
Speaking  of  tbe  debt  question  in  Virginim  &s 
an  element  entering  into  the  present  political  cam- 
paign, the  Kichmond  Whig  of  the  21st  Inst,  says : 
"The  Conservatives  of  Virginia  are  eonunitted,  posi- 
tively committed,  against  repudiation ;  and  they  are 
with'  equal  positiveness  committed  in  favor  of  all  fair 

and  honorable  means  for  effecting  a  readjustment  of 
the  State  debt.  The  truth  is  that,  in  obedience  to 
the  will  of  the  best  people  of  Vireliua,  expressed  In 
the  Conservative  Oonventiou  a  few  days  ago,  the 
fact  is  fijEed  that  readjustment  will  be  one  of  there- 
stilts  of  the  legislation  of  next  Winter  here.  If  there 
are  gentlemen  in  the  State  who  mean  to  persist  In 
paying  full  iuterest  on  the  debt  when  they  know  that 
an  Increase  of  taxation  is  indispensable  to  that  end, 
and  when  at  the  same  time,  too,  they  know  that  an 
increase  of  taxation  is  absolutely  Impossible,  such 
gentlemen  had  better  at  once  turn  their  backs  to  the 
future  and  their  faces  to  the  past.  They  hare  no  po- 
litical vitality  left  in  them.  And  if  there  are  others 
who  are  in  favor  uf  a  repudiation  of  the  8taie  debt, 
they  bad  all  better  club  in  and  buy  a  second-lund 
omnibus  and  start  In  a  t£ot  for  Georgia." 

CAN  A  CAT  corrsTt 

The  Meriden  (ContL )  Republican  tolls  the  fol-, 
lowing :  "  An  old  cat  had  been  ux  affectionate  caller 
at  H.  L.  Spencer's  store  during  the  Winter.  Aa  the 
weather  grew  warmer  her  visits  grew  less  frequent, 
she  evidently  preferring  the  sunshine  of  cnt-door 
life.  Whenever  she  came  she  waa  treated  kindly. . 
On  Friday  she  came  and  surveved  the  store  with  pe- 
culiar care,  and  soon  afterward  left.  In  a  short  time 
she  returned  with  a  little  kitten  tn  her  mouth,  wiiich 
she  deposited  with  motherly  tenderness  in  an  empty 
tea-chest.  She  made  a  second,  third,  and  fourth 
visit  at  6tat«d  intervals,  bringing  one  of  her  ofCspzing 
evezy  time.  Her  affectioa  became  a  matter  of  study 
by  Mr.  Spencer  and  his  clerks,  and  thoy  watched  the 
movements  of  the  old  cat,  who.  aa  eve^  trip  waa 
made,  would  stand  over  the  box  and  look  intently 
into  It  as  if  counting  .the  number  xA  her  family.

Senator  EoMmiDS  «ays  that  he  has  not 
•een  one  Vermont  Republican  who  do  es  not 
consider  the  President's  o^der  forbid- 
ding the  participation  of  office-holders 
in  the  active  business  of  politics  a  mistake. 
We  are  not  prepared  to  dispute  the  accu- 
racy or  comprehensiveness  of  the  Senator's 
rendering  of  Republican  opinion  in  Ver- 
mont, but  he  is  singularly  unhappy  in  his 
attempt  to  illustrate  the  injustice  of  the 
rule  laid  down  by  the  President.  "  If,"  said 
he,  "  Mr.  Shekmas  talks  a6oat  the  policy  of 
the  Government,  resumption,  &c.,  in  Ohio, 
why  not  a  petty  Postmaster  in  the  niidst  of 
sur  Green  Mountains  about  the  plans,  of  his 
office,  his  desire  to  accommodate  tbe^nblic, 
and  his  attempts  for  the  improvement  of 
mail  facilities !"  It  would  be  difficult  to  say 
"why  not,  because  nobody  has  sought  to 
abridge  the  petty  Postmaster  of  his  privi- 
lege of  talking  "  shop  "  if  he  can  induce 
anybody  to  listen  to  him,  and  because 
even  petty  Postmasters  have  a  good  deal 
mora  sense  than  to  suppose  that  they  can 
Bay  anything  worth  listening  to  about  plans 
and  facilities  which  they  have  very 
little  share  in  devising.  The  petty  Post- 
master can  -  even,  in  the  intervals 
of  business,  talk  partisan  politics 
if  he  will,  but  he  must  not  use  the  influence 
Ifhich  he  acquires  as  an  official  of  the  Unit- 
ed States  to  "  run  "  primaries  and  manipu- 
late conventions.  And  the  reason  is  very 
simple,  for  it  is  of  the  essence  of  civil  service 
reform  that  the  petty  Postmaster  should 
retain  his  office  on  good  behavior,  no  mat- 
ter what  may  be  the  party  in  control  of  the 
Federal  Government.  But  he  cannot  long 
be  flee  from  the  political  dictation  of 
his  official  superiors  if  they  are  to 
be  subjected  to  the  annoyance  of 
liaving  his  office  used  as  a  weapon  of  poli- 
tical opposition.  Cabinet  Ministers  form 
part  of  the  Administration,  change  with  its 
politics,  and  are  properly  intrusted  with  the 
task  of  explaining  its  policy.  None  of  these 
things  are,  on  the  theory  of  the  civil  service 
reformer, .  predicable  of  the  petty  Post- 
master. 4  

• '  Mr.  X''  H.  Williams,  Democratic  ean- 
oidate  for  (Jovemor  in  Maine,  accepts  the 
nomination,  but  loses  no  time  in  comment- 
ing on  the  principal  plank  in  the  platform 
of  his  party.  The  convention  said  that 
"  the  reversal  of  the  verdict  of  the  Ameri- 
can people,  as  manifested  at  the  ballot-box 
in  November  last,  electing  Samuel  J.  Til- 
des President  of  the  United  States,  was  the 
most  monstrous  political  fraud  recorded  in 
history. "  And  it  was  magnanimously  added 
thai  the  Democracy  submit  to  it  in 
the  .  interest  of  peace,  but  it  must 
not  -  be  repeated.  Mr.  Williams,  in 
his  letter  of  acceptance,  says  that  he  finds 
nowhere  in  this  resolution  any  impeachment 
of  the  President's  title  to  office.  He  thinks 
that  the  "  fraud"  referred  to  in  the  platform 
of  the  Maine  Democracy  took  place  in  the  Re- 
turning Boards  of  certain  States,  and  that 
■aid  frauds  were  out  of  the  jurisdiction  of 
the  Electoral  Commission.  This  view  of 
the  case,  considering  that  it  is  Democratic, 
is  moderate.  It  is  commended  to  the 
attention  of  those  over-zealous  converts  to 
Democracy  who  are  wearying  the  world 
with  their  cries,  of  "  His  Fraudulency"  and 
*'  The  Prandnlent  President." 


We  are  glad  to  find,  that  papers  like 
the  Albany  Evening  Journal  are  fully 
awake  to  the  advantage  to  be  gained  to 
the  Republican  cause  by  frankly  accept- 
ing the  issue  of  whether  or  not  Gov. 
RoBiNSOJi  has  made  a  record  which  the 
people  can  afford  to  sustain.  The  Gov- 
ernor's appointments  have  been  almost  uni- 
formly bad,  and  the  Senate  has  erred,  not 
in  rejecting  so  many,  but  in  failing  to  reject 
more  of  them.  The  preposterous  assump- 
tion that  men  like  Georoe  B.  McClellan — 
of  moth-killing  fame — and  Allen  C. 
BsACH— the  ally  of  the  Canal  and  Tweed 
Rings — ^were  nominees  in  the  interest  of 
"  reform,"  is  too  absurd  to  delude  anybody. 
The  Cowles-Brega  correspondence  settled 
the  character  of  the  one,  and  the  reports  of 
Mr.  Tiloen's  Canal  Commission  disposed 
of  the  reputation  of  the  other,  A  Demo- 
cratic Senate  would  aid  the  Governor  in 
making  some  of  the  worst  appointments 
sknown  to  the  history  of  the  State,  and  a 
B*moeratie  Assembly  would  enable  him  to 
becaa|£  the  tool  of  Kelly  to  an  extent 
which  would  give  the  people  of  this  City  very 
painful  reminders  of  the  days  of  Hoffman 
and  Tweed. 


The4  condensed  report  of  the  Bnrean  of 
Statistics  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
which  we  publish  to-day,  will  be  scanned 
with-interest  by  all  who  are  identified  with 
the  commerce  of  the  United  States.  It  is 
hardly  necessary  to  remind  readers  of  this 
ciass  that  any  comparison  between 
the  relative  proportions  of  the  exports 
^and  imports  during  the  last  three  years 
^uat  be  made  with  constant  reference  to 
the  altered  values  of  the  articles  compared. 
The  tables  which  we  publish  give  values 
only,  not  quantities,  and  there  are  many 
items,  both  of  exports  and  imports,  where 
value  has  decreased  while  the  ijnantity 
has  increased.  The  figures  repro- 
dnoed  in  The  Times  of  yesterday 
from  the  British  Board  of  Trade  returns  tell 
in  many  cases  a  different  story  from  those 
famished  by  Mr.  YoUNO,  and  that  is  due  to 
"the  very  decided  change  in  the  trade  of  the 
eomitry  which  has  taken  place  during  the 
last  six  months  of  the  fiscal  year,  which  waa 
the  period  covered  by  these  figures,  as  well 
as  to  the  altered  relations  between  quantity 
EDd  value  which  have  been  recently  estab- 
lishad.  Among  the  most  noticeable  fea- 
tures of  the  tables  published  to-day  are 
tHiose  which  show  that,  as  complired  with 
the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1875,  our

The  World  is  trying  to  make  its  party 
believe  that  the  dissensions  among  the 
Sepnblioans  of  New-York  State  render  eer- 
tahi  a  Democratie  victory  in  November. 
The  World  chooses  to  forget  tiiat  the  divi- 
sions^^an  the  Democratic  camp  are  quite  as 
serious,'  and  that  the  vote  which  may  for 
convenience  sake  be  called  Indepen- 
dent, and  without  which  the  Democrats 
have  never  of  late  years  obtained  a  ma- 
jority, will  be  cast  this  year  on  the  Repub- 
lican side.  So  little  account  was  taken  of 
this  vote  in  the  City  election  in  1875.  that 
the  World,  Mr.  Thatbe,  Mr.  Kelly,  and 
other  "well-informed"  persons  confidently 
predicted  the  election  of  the  Tammany 
candidates.  They  made  an  egregious 
bISnder  then,  and  the  expectation  of  a 
I^iocratio  victory  in  the  State  is  likely  to 
be  a  blunder  now,  because  the  Grermans 
and  Independent  Democrats  will,  this 
year,  carry  their  opposition  to  Tammany- 
dictation  into  the  vote  for  members  of 
the  Legislature  and  State  officers.  The 
World  muddles  itself  over  the  question  of 
Democratic,  that  is  Tammany,  treatment 
of  the  problem  of  Municipal  reform. 
Let  it  try  to  answer  sqnarely 
these  two  questions  :  Would  a  Democratic 
majority  in  the  Legislature  approve  of  the 
Con^tutional  amendments  recommen  ded 
by  Mr.  Tilden's,  Municipal  Commission  f 
and,  Wotjld  such  a  majority  reduce  official 
salaries  snd  check  the  increase  of  debt  in 
New-York  City  T  Thaf  will  be  more  to  the 
purpose  than  its  meaningless  twaddle  about 
"  giving  the  citizens  a  chance  to  give  them- 
selves the  best  government  they  will,"  ».  e. , 
the  best  that  Tammany  Hall  can  afford. 


The  attempt  of  Suleiman  Pasha's  Army 
upon  the  Schipka  Pass  may  imply  either 
an  advance  against  its  northern  entrance 
by  the  main  Army  under  Suleiman 
himself,  or  an  attack  from  the  south 
by  the  Roumelian  detachment  under  Ras- 
SAM  PashS,  who  has  recently  occupied  tho 
village  of  Schipka  itself.  The  former  is 
probably  the  true  state  of  the  case  ;  but  at 
all  events  the  effort  has  been  made  in  thor- 
ough earnest  and  with  no  ordinary  vigor,  A 
force  of  forty  battalions,  or  nearly  32,000 
i£en — a  full  third  of  the  combined  armies 
of^SuLEiMAN  Pasha  and  Mehemet  Ali — 
would  hardly  be  employed  as  a  mere  feint ; 
and  a  serious  attack  in  this  quarter,  if  suc- 
cessful, means  nothing  less  than  utter  ruin 
to  the  Russian  campaign.  The  Sistova- 
Schipka  cordon  once  broken,  Gen.  Gourkho 
would  be  completely  surrounded,  the  Army 
of  Timova  cut  in  two,  the  invaders  thrown 
back  upon  the  Danube,  and  Osman  Pasha 
set  free  to  take  part  in  a  grand  combined 
assault  of  all  three  Turkish  armies  at  once 
upon  the  shattered  forces  of  the  enemy.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  peculiar  energy  of  this 
attempt  gives  some  color  to  the  current  re- 
ports of  Osman  Pasha's  increasingly  strait- 
ened condition ;  and  should  the  Russians 
succeed  in  repulsing  further  attacks  as  they 
appear  to  have  repulsed  the  one  in  ques- 
tion, it  may  yet  go  hard  with  the  Army  of 
Plevna,  despite  its  rumored  success  in  re- 
pelling the  scattered  assaults  of  the  Russian 
cavalry.  The  concentration  of  force,  to  the 
want  of  which  the  Russians  may  fairly  at- 
tribute all  their  recent  disasters,  is  on  their 
side  at  last ;  and  it  behooves  them  to  turn  it 
to  good  account. 

^SE   fVIUBE    OF  PARTIES    IN   THE 
-'  SOUTH. 

"  The  hardest  blow  that  the  Republican 
Party  has  struck  at  the  Democracy  in  sev- 
eral years,"  says  the  Atlanta  Constitution,  a 
leading  Democratic  paper  in  Georgia,  "  is 
in  tljeir  determination — which  has  been  evi- 
dent for  some  time — to  entirely  abandon  their 
political  organization  in  the  South."  This 
is  the  opening  expression  of  an  article  enti- 
tled "  The  Danger  and  the  Duty  of  the 
Hour."  It  is  the  first  recognition  which  we 
have  seen  from  an  authoritative  South- 
ern Democratic  source  of  the  existence  of 
discord  in  the  Democratic  Party  of  that 
section  which  may  become  of  national  im- 
portance. The  CoTtstitution  undoubtedly 
takes  an  exaggerated  view  of  the  definite- 
ness  of  the  intention  of  the  Republican 
Naders  to  abandon  their  party  organiza- 
tion in  the  South,  but  it  does  not 
exaggerate  the  consequences  which  may 
flow  from  such  a  step,  whether  the 
step  itself  be  voluntary  or  otherwise. 
There  is  not  now,  and  has  never  been,  in 
the  Republican  Party,  sufficient  compact- 
ness of  organization,  or  sufficient  rigor  of 
party  discipline,  to  make  it  feasible  for  any 
number  o{  its  leaders  to  form  and  enforce 
such  an  extensive  project  involving  so 
many  interests,  and  requiring  the  concur- 
rence ot  so  many  widely  scattered  local 
politicians  as  our  Democratic  cotemporary 
has  figured  to  itself.  Least  of  all  would 
it  be  possible  for  Mr,  Hayes'  Administration 
to  set  on  foot  and  carry  out  such  a  plan. 
The  declaration  that  "the  instructions  re- 
cently given  to  all  Federal  office-holders  to  ab- 
stain from  active  participation  in  party  elec- 
tions and  party  organization  is  no  doubt  a 
part  of  the  prograinme,"  only  shows  that  the 
writer  has  allowed  his  partisan  fears,  to  get 
the  better  of  his  judgment.  Mr.  Hayes' 
order  to  the  office-holders  is  a  shot  of  too 
large  calibre  and  too  l^IIg^)ge  to  have 
been  aimed  at  any  such  game  as  is. 
Ime  ■mmo— d.    £vaii  if  it  could  be  relied 


oil  to  break  up  the  party  o^anlsation  in  iSe 
Botttb— whieh  it  could  only  partially  do— it 
could  not  in  that  way  secnre  any  purely 
partisan  gains  which  would  in  tjie  least  com- 
pensate for  the  immediate  diffieolty  whteh 
it  has  produced  and  is  -  prodtieing  in  the 
North.  Nothing  can  fairly  explain  the 
motiva  of  that  order  except  the  Presidenffs 
firm  sold  sincere  determination  to  divorce 
tba^ublic  business  from  party  politics,  and 
to  compel  his  party,  cost  what  it  may,  to 
depend  on  its  intrinsio  merits  for  support. 
Doubtless  the  order  will  go  far,  in  its  opera- 
tion both  in  the  North  and  in  the  South,  to 
bring  about  a  radical  change  in  the  political 
situation,  and  one  which,  if  the  Republican 
Party  has  vitality  enough  to  stand  the  test, 
win  make  it  stronger  than  it  has  lately  been 
and  give  it  a  new  lease  of  healthy  and  useful 
existence.  But  these  consequences  wilT 
flow  from  elements  quite  beyond  the  control 
of  Mr.  Hayes.  It  is  simply  absurd  to  regard 
his  order  as  a  politioai  device.  It  is  the  one 
thing  in  the  history  of  his  Administration 
thus  far  which  fully  sustains  the  promise  of 
his  inaugural  address,  and  which  must  be 
attributed  solely  to  the  spirit  of  an  unqual- 
ified reformer  and  the  wisdom  of  a  patriotic 
Executive. 

But  it  remains  true  that,  if,  whether  from 
the  operation  of  the  President's  order,  or 
from  his  course  in  regard  to  the  Southern 
States,  or  from  changes  in  public  opinion 
which  would  have  had  the  same  effect 
sooner  or  later  under  any  circumstances,  the 
Republicans  find  themselves  unable  to 
maintain  an  active  organization  in  the 
South,  the  Democratic  Party  there  will  be 
in  serious  danger.  The  Georgia  organ  re- 
gards voluntary  disbandment  by  the  Repub- 
licans as  ' '  cunning  as  well  as  plausible  ;  " 
as  having  originated  with  "  some  of  the 
shrewdest  of  the  always  shrewd  leaders  of 
that  party."  It  concedes  the  reasonableness 
of  the  psesumption  that  the  Democracy  left 
to  itself  will  di\-ide,  and  that  when  divi- 
sion arises  on  local  questions  new 
combinations  will  be  formed  on 
national  questions.  These  admissions 
are  significant,  and  are  quite  in 
harmony  with  the  general  reasoning  which 
careful  observers  have  for  some  time  hold 
regarding  the  South.  The  Democrats  of  the 
South  have  been  substantially  united  ever 
since  the  Whig  Party  was  swallowed  up  by 
the  Republicans,  and  there  were  only  two 
national  organizations  to  choose  from.  The 
Southern  AVliigs  could  not  go  with  the  Re- 
publicans, and  they  had  to  go  with  the  Dem- 
ocrats, and  from  that  moment  the  supreme 
influence  of  slavery,  and  of  the  questions  of 
the  war  and  reconstruction  growing  out  of 
slaver}-,  have  kept  the  white  voters  of  the 
South  closelj"  bound  together. 

For  tho  last  live  or  six  years  there  have 
been  indications  that  this  close  union  might 
be  broken  in  upon.  There  were  evidences 
of  dissension  among  its  members.  Young, 
energetic,  and  progressive  men  among  its 
active  workers  chafed  under  the  dictation  of 
tho  Bourbon  leaders,  and  a  considerable 
claims  of  cool-headed  and  intelligent  voters 
seemed  willing  to  leave  the  Democratic 
ranks  if  they  could  find  another  organiza- 
tion whieli  would  Ite  of  real  service  to  their 
section,  which  would  not  offend  their  preju- 
dices, and  which  would  gratify  reasonable 
ambition.  We  have  frequently  pointed  out 
in  these  columns  that  tho  Republican  Party 
might  secure  this  alliance  on  honorable 
terms  and  with  advantage,  if  its  coimsels 
were  guided  by  candor,  public  spirit,  and  ag- 
gressive honesty.  The  goldtn  opportunity 
for  this  purpose  was  previous  to  and  follow- 
ing the  campaign  of  1S72,  when  thousands 
of  Democrats  in  the  South  felt  their  party 
ties  much  loosened,  and  when  they  were 
ready  to  form  new  ones.  But  it  was  pre- 
ferred, for  reasons  which  it  is  not  now  worth 
while  to  rehearse,  to  cling  to  what  may, 
without  injustice,  be  called  ihe  policy  of  the 
carpet-bagger  and  the  negro,  and  the  oppor- 
tunity was  lost. 

It  is  by  no  means  impossible  that  a  like 
opportunity  may  present  itself  before  the 
next  Presidential  election.  The  Democracy 
of  the  South  is  extremely  restive,  as  the  ex- 
pressions olj  its  Atlanta  organ  show.  It  no 
longer  has  the  motives  which  formerly  ex- 
isted for  a  compact  union.  The  questions 
regarding  which  all  Southern  Democrats 
either  thought  alike  or  were  compelled  to  act 
as  if  they  thought  alike,  wUl  not  arise  again 
in  the  same  form,  and  may  not  arise  at  all. 
Without  the  species  of  outside  pressure 
to  which  they  have  hitherto  yielded,  it  is 
improbable  that  the  party  can  hold  so 
strongly  together,  ^Viat  issues  may  come 
up  in  national  polities  which  will  enable  any 
portion  of  their  number  to  act  with  the  body 
of  Republicans,  North  and  South,  we  shallnot 
now  discuss.  But  that  such  issues  are  assum- 
ing shape,  and  may  within  three  years  be- 
come eoiitrolling,  no  careful  student  of  our 
politics  will  be  likely  to  deny. 


A  MAN  AND  A  BBOTHER. 
A  belated  wayfarer,  passing  through 
Union-square  the  other  night,  accident- 
ally feB  into  conversation  with  a  tramp 
who  had  taken  up  his  lodging  on  one  of  the 
benches.  The  tramp  candidly  confessed 
that  he  was  a  vagrant,  without  occupation, 
that  he  picked  up  his  liring  and  his  clothing 
about  the  streets,  vacant  lots,  and  suburban 
fields,  and  that  h^  had  slept  on  that  particu- 
lar park  bench  for  seven  nights  in  succes- 
sion. The  wayfarer  attempted  to  rouse 
some  ambition  in  the  breast  of  this  battered 
creature.  It  was  in  vain.  His  only  answer 
was;  ' '  Oh,  X  don't  care."  Then  he 
was  tried  on  another  tack,  .  and 
was  asked  if  he  did  not  dread 
being  arrested  for  vagrancy  and  sent  to 
"the  Island."  The  miserable  man  had  but 
one  reply:  "Oh,  I  don't  care."  A  cross- 
Eght  is  thrown  upon  the  tramp  question  by 
the  brief  history  of  this  particular  individ- 
ual. He  had  stolen  a  "hand"  of  tobacco 
from  a  box  exposed  to  view  in  front  of  a 
down-town  shop.  It  was  his  first  offense. 
He  was  sent  to  "  the  Island  "  for  six  months, 
and  when  he  came  out  he  thought  he  was 
as  good  as  he  ever  was.  Nobody  else 
thought  so.  He  was  a  convict,  and  every- 
body knew  it.  There  were  so  many  men 
who  were  not  convicts,  and  who  were  seek- 
ing employment,  that  lie  found  himself 
crowded  out';  at  any  rate  he  thought 
he  was  crowded  out,  and  that  is 
pretty  much  the  same  thing.  It  was 
easier  to  steal  than  to  get  work,  and 
this  TTiaTi  soon  found  his  way  to  "the 
Island"  a  second  time.  After  this  it  was 
more  natural  to  go  to  the  penitentiary  than 
anywhere  else ;  and,  to  his  evident  comfort, 
he  found  that  more  than  three-f  ourtlis  of  the 
oonvlota  were  old  oSendors.  and.  we  may 


•d^  old  aoqilaintances.  Onhey  were  men' 
wio,  having  bnse  worn  the  strip^  uniform 
of  crime,  seemed  to  be  badged  forlife.  This 
fellow,  however,  after  three  years'  experi- 
ence of  convict  detention,  with  brief  inter- 
vals of  liberty,  greir  tired  of  the  monotony, 
and,  OBoe  more  free,  straek  out  for  himself. 
He  deputed  for  fresh  fields.  Not  having 
money,  he  walked.  For  the  same  reason,  he 
begged  his  rations  from  door  to  door.  He 
met  with  surprising  success.  People  fed 
and  clothed  him  to  get  rid  of  him.  He  found 
no  work.  Why  should  he  seek  it  t  He  had 
found  liis  level  at  last,  and  was  ready  to  an- 
swer all  expostulation  with  his  everlasting 
"  I  don't  care." 

The  Union-square  lodger  may  have  lied. 
Very  likely  he  did  in  some  of  the  minor  de- 
tails of  his  story.  But  the  essential  points 
of  his  experience  are  doubtless  true  of 
many  another  tramp's  life.  It  would 
be  curious  to  inquire  into  the  begin- 
nings of  a  career  like  that  of  the  average 
tramp.  How  many  of  these  miserable  men 
were  dragged  down  by  their  own  vicious- 
ness,  how  many  by  sheer  laziness,  and  how 
many  succumbed  to  misfortunes  which 
would  have  stiffened  the  manhood  of  others, 
nobody  can  tell.  They  are  all  defeated 
men.  They  have  had  their  chance  in  the 
struggle  of  life  and  have  gone  to  the 
rear  in  disorder  and  disgrace.  They 
wiU  never  catch  up  again.  They 
are  the  wrecks  which  strew  the 
shore.  Nevertheless,  they  don't  care  ;  and 
in  this  xmceasing  refrain  they  undoubtedly 
find  much  comfort.  The  birds  of  the  air  are 
not  more  irresponsible  and  free  from  care 
than  they.  Possibly,  they  dread  death,  as  all 
men  do ;  and  it  is  quite  likely,  nevertheless, 
that  even  death  may  be  looked  at  as  a  sort 
of  dull  relief  from  the  necessity  of  getting 
something  to  eat. 

More  than  death,  however,  they  dread 
work.  And,  under  the  laws  of  this  country, 
which  are  so  tenderly  careful  of  the  work- 
ing man's  interest,  a  convicted  vagrant  can- 
not, except  in  rare  instances,  be  made  to 
work.  There  have  been  several  attempts  in 
this  State  to  permit  the  managers  of  penal 
institutions  and  almshouses  to  put  the  con- 
victs at  work  on  some  productive  industry. 
But  the  outcry  of  the  indignant  work- 
ing man  has  al^'ays  terrified  into  silence  all 
advocates  of  such  a  scheme.  So  the  tramp 
who  steals,  or  who  is  merely  a  vagrant,  does 
not  care  if  he  be  arrested,  tried,  and  con- 
victed, "  They  CEUi't  make  me  work,"  he 
mutters  to  himself ;  and  so  he  goes  to  jail 
or  penitentiary  with  a  merry  heart.  He  is 
fed  and  lodged ;  and  food  and  shelter  are  to 
lum  the  sum  and  substance  of  life.  He  pays 
no  taxes,  is  not  bothered  with  polities,  is  as 
indifferent  to  the  rise  and  fall  of  empires  as 
he  is  to  the  perturbations  in  the  orbit  of 
Saturn,  is  not  amenable  to  society  for  his 
personal  appearance,  his  garb,  his  manners, 
or  his  morals,  and  is  as  wholly  irresponsible 
as  a  man  can  be  who  really  does  not  care. 
Other  people  have  some  one  or  more  depend- 
ent upon  them,  in  one  way  or  another. 
The  tramp  has  not  even  the  responsibility 
which  binds  the  sparrow  to  its  mate.  It  is 
impossible  for  ci\-ilization  to  contend  against 
rags  and  dirt.  The  man  who  never  uses  soap 
and  water,  and  never  changes  his  clothes 
until  he  sheds  them  by  process  of  decay, 
soon  ceases  to  feel  the  wants  of  a  more  ar- 
tificial state  of  society.  He  sleeps  under  a 
plank  sidewalk  or  in  a  door-ivay  with  ap- 
parent comfort.  He  lives  on  refuse  ;  and 
so  long  as  his  looped  and.  windowed  ragged- 
uess  does  not  let  in  cold  enough  to  kill  him 
he  subsists  very  much  as  his  primitive  an- 
cestors did  when  they  lived  in  caves,  clad 
themselves  in  skins,  and  tore  the  half -cooked 
flesh  of  their  game  with  teeth  and  fingers. 
He  is  content  with  a  very  little.  He  does 
not  work  ;  and,  above  all,  he  don't  care. 

This  absolute  recklessness  of  the  average 
tramp  is  the  most  discouraging  feature  of 
the  wuole  case.  As  a  rule,  the  men  seem 
to  have  lost  all  sense  of  pride  and  manli- 
ness. They  have  lost  heart,  "  lost  their 
grip,"  as  the  common  saying  is.  It  is  a  dan- 
gerous feature,  too.  ."When  a  great  riot, 
like  that  in  Pittsburg,  breaks  out,  the  tramps 
gather  from  afar  like  eagles  to  the  carcase. 
As  they  don't  care  for  consequences,  nothing 
short  of  an  immediate  and  violent  death 
frightens  them  from  a  work  of  destruction. 
Of  what  use  is  it  to  threaten  such  men  with 
imprisonment  f  So  long  as  they  are  not 
to  be  killed  or  compelled  to  work,  the 
heaviest  punishment  which  the  law 
can  inflict,  short  of  hanging  or 
hard  labor,  is  a  matter  of  utter  in- 
difference. Some  persons  discuss  the  tramp 
question  as  though  we  were  dealing  with  a 
problem  which  has  long  puzzled  Europe. 
The  American  tramp  has  all  of  the  Ameri- 
can recklessness  which  has  been  justly 
charged  with  so  many  of  our  vices  and  mis- 
fortunes. He  cannot  be  dealt  with  as  his 
more  conservative  European  brother  is.  If 
the  tramp  nuisance  is  ever  brought  to  an 
end  in  this  counti-y,  it  will  not  be  by  a  re- 
turn of  j)rosperous  times.  The  class  of 
tramps  is  now  as  settled  and  distinct  as  any 
in  society.  The  tramp  is  confirmed  in  his 
calling,  such  as  it  is.  Good  times  will  only 
make  things  easier  for  him.  If  he  is  ever 
compelled  to  work,  he  will  cease  to  be  a 
tramp. 


NATIVE  ART  AT  THE  CENTENNIAL. 

Augusts  Bartholdi  is  the  designer  of 
the  large  statue  of  "  Liberty  Enlightening 
the  World,"  which  is  to  be  placed  on  a 
pedestal  rising  from  the  centre  of  the 
fort  on  Bedloe's  Island,  in  our  harbor. 
The  statue  is  now  being  cast  in  France, 
and  at  last  accounts  there  was  little 
doubt  that  the  American  part  of  the  en- 
terprise— the  pedestal  of  granite,  which 
was  to  be  contributed  by  residents  of 
the  United  States — would  not  suffer 'delay 
from  want  of  subscriptions.  It  appears 
that  besides  his  office  as  designer  of  the 
gigantic  gift  of  France,  M.  Ba^holdi 
was  a  member  of  the  International  Jury 
at  the  Centennial  Exhibition,  and  as  such 
has  made  a  report  to  the  Government 
on  the  state  of  the  arts  of  decoration  in 
our  country.  Since  the  report  comes 
from  a  man  of  acknowledged  rank  as  a  sculp- 
tor, and  one  who  may  be  supposed  to 
have  a  perfect  familiarity  with  the  con- 
dition of  the  arts  of  painting,  sculpture, 
and  architecture  in  France. and  Italy,  its 
contents  are  of  peculiar  interest  .  to 
Americans  who  want  to  know  the  truth 
about  themselves,  even  if  that,  truth  be 
not  entirely  palatable. 

Bartholdi  reports  that  painting  in  the 
United  States  is  entirely  within  the  in- 
fluence of  the  European  movement,  not  to 
say  under  French  influence,  although  the 
aehool  of   DQSSELD0B7    and   English    in- 


^^

flaenees  exert  a  certain  force.  Sonlstnze 
follows  the  Italian  methods,  owing  ehiefly  to 
l^e  residence  in  Rome  of  a  number  of  noted 
American  sculptors,  but  there,  says  this 
competent  critic,  they  allow  themselves  to 
be  seduced  a  little  too  far  by  a  school  which 
makes  a  point  of  imitating  in  marble,  backs 
of  chairs,  leaves  of  paper,  and  blocks  of 
soap.  A  few  resident  sculptors  are  ex- 
cepted from  this  scathing  criticism.  He 
speaks  at  greater  length  about  architecture, 
in  which  he  finds  an  American  individuality. 
The  necessity  for  producing  bidldings  fitted 
for  the  customs  and  prejudices  of  *he  coun- 
try causes  originality  in  this  department. 
Since  American  cities  grow  normally  and 
without  hindrance  from  the  germ  of  a  log 
hut,  they  do  not  offer  the  picturesque  effects 
found  in  Europe;  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
the  greatest  latitude  is  allowed  in  imitating 
models  from  every  country  and  every  cli- 
mate. Greek,  Moorish,  Egyptian,  Roman, 
English  rustic — all  these  are  represented  in 
the  chief  cities.  Large  numbers  of  marble, 
granite,'  and  stone  buildings  are  being 
erected  for  churches,  banks,  and  govern- 
ment offices,  and  though  these  edifices  are 
not  always  successes,  yet  some  of  them,  M. 
Bartholdi  charitably  adds,  are  thoroughly 
studied. 

The  general  diift  is  in  the  direction  of 
French  architecture,  and  notably  toward 
the  ideas  represented  by  Viollet-le-Duc. 
American  architects  are  more  than  any- 
thing else  men  of  enterprise,  and  the  com- 
bination of  daring  with  the  ideas  just  men- 
tioned are  likely  to  lead  to  happy  results. 
Iron  buildings  have  had  an  extraordinary 
development,  but  their  best  days  have 
passed  ;  large  fires  have  proved  their  pro- 
tective qualities  a  delusion,  and  a  better 
taste,  led  by  a  few  centres  of  educated  and 
refined  people,  is  beginning  to  discover 
their  insincerity  and  ugliness. 

The  practical  spirit  of  Americans  appears 
to  M.  Bartholdi  in  the  development  of 
structures  in  wood,  such  as  trestle-works  and 
bridges,  as  well  a.s  the  interior  decoration 
of  houses.  In  cabinet-work  the  contrast 
offered  by  different  colored  woods  is  sought, 
and  cheapness  and  effectiveness  secured  by 
applying  thin  plates  of  wood  on  the  body 
of  articles  of  furniture.  In  following  out 
an  ornamentation  with  such  materials 
Americans  have  produced  an  indefinable, 
GrKco-Oriental  style,  with  a  dash  of  renais- 
sance, which  M.  Bartholdi  proposes, 
with  some  humor,  to  call  the  Pull- 
man car  style.  Pianos  and  billiard- 
tables  are  especial  favorites  with  the 
American  public,  and  the  Pullman  car  style 
in  a  modified  form  is  applied  to  them- 
Bartuoldi  objects  to  the  sombre  turn 
given  the  decoration  of  both  pianos  and 
billiard-tables,  but  mentions  in  explanation 
that  Americans  have  a  certain  taste  for  the 
funereal,  and  thereupon  cracks  his  little 
joke  on  the  "  burial  caskets"  exhibited  at 
the  Fair.  He  alludes  to  the  brilliant  decora- 
tions of  machines,  and  in  reference  to 
objects  of  art  cast  in  bronze  and  copper  has 
little  of  interest  to  report.  In  the  jewelry 
trade  he  has  a  few  words  of  qualified  praise 
to  say,  but  nothing  to  advise  concerning 
marble  working,  ceramics,  and  glass  cut- 
ting. In  the  department  of  eugravilig  he 
allows  a  certain  originality  sho^vu  in  bank 
notes,  checks,  and  postage  stamps,  while 
engraving  on  wood,  lithography,  and  chromo 
lithography  are  well  represented.  Wall- 
papers receive  high  praise,  and  originality 
is  accorded  to  wooden  wall-papers.  The 
book  trade  is  unmistakably  affected  by  Eng- 
lish traditions,  and  good  printing  and  bind- 
ing is  to  be  seen.  In  regard  to  carriages 
and  wagons,  fault  is  found  with  their  want 
of  grace,  resulting  from  keeping  solely  in 
mind  the  question  of  weight.  Even  in 
sleighs,  the  old  heavy  sleighs  are  handsomer 
than  light  cutters,  because  they  have  curves 
in  their  lines. 

On  the  whole,  then,  M.  Bartholdi  is  not 
deeply  impressed  with  the  position  of 
America  in  the  domain  of  decorative  art. 
But  he  concedes  the  efforts  that  are  making 
to  establish  new  and  better  works  In  all 
departments.  He  says  that  the  American 
has  been  compelled  from  the  first  to  be 
harsh  toward  himself  and  his  surroundings ; 
hence  comes  a  certain  persistent  ruggedness 
that  he  carries  into  his  tastes  and  work.  His 
designs  are  angular  ;  he  has  no  liking  for  a 
curve.  Preoccupied  before  all  things  with 
the  useful,  he  does  not  perform  an  act  from 
the  pleasure  of  performing  it,  but  solely 
for  the  purpose  which  he  has  put  before  him. 
But  in  every  question  of  art  and  taste,  sa}"S 
M.  Bartholdi,  there  is  an  element  of  dis- 
interestedness called  the  ideal,  which  de- 
lights the  public  for  which  a  work  is  made 
just  as  much  as  the  artist  who  produces  the 
Tpyork.  .  This  need  of  an  ideal  cannot  be 
supplied  by  the  artist ;  it  grows  up  gradually 
by  a  continual  excitation,  which  passes  from 
the  public  to  the  artist  and  the  artist  to  the 
public  which  is  capable  of  sympathizing 
with  his  thought. 

M.  Bartholdi  has  put  his  finger  on  the 
weak  spot  of  the  question  as  to  Ameri- 
can art.  Why  is  it  that  our  sculptors  fly  to 
Rome  and  our  jjainters  to  Paris  f  Because 
the  public  is  not  formed  which  can  sjTupa- 
thize  with  or  intelligently  criticise  their 
work.  M.  Bartholdi,  it  is  fair  to  say,  re- 
marks that  the  roughness  noticeable  at  first 
in  American  art  gives  way  to  more  genial 
and  hopeful  impressions  on  a  nearer  exami- 
nation ;  but  the  fact  remains  that  only  the 
most  robust  artists  can  withstand  the  strain 
brought  to  bear  on  their  nerves  by  the  ad- 
miration lavished  on  shallow  workmen,  and 
the  continued  lack  of  that  artistic  and  intel- 
lectual food  embraced  under  the  general 
term  of  sympathy. 


AMERICANS  ABBOAIK 
Complaints  are  frequently  made  in  these 
daysbyioreign  mn-keepers,  servants,  guides, 
commissionaires,  and  the  whole  tribe  who 
live  by  and  upon  travelers,  that  American 
tourists  are  growing  mean;  that  they  no 
longer  distinguish  themselves  by  the  reck- 
less lavishuess  which  has  made  them,  or 
rather  their  pocket-books,  welcome  in  every 
city  and  comer  of  the  world.  We  think 
there  is  some  basis  for  the  complaint;  we 
certainly  hope  there  is,  and  that  the  thing 
complained  of  may  continue  to  increase. 
Meanness  has  not  been  a  characteristic  of 
otrr  wandering  countrymen,  nor  do  we  be- 
lieve it  is  now.  It  is  highly  probable,  how- 
ever, that  Americans  are  far  less  prodigal 
than  has  been  their  wont ;  that  they  have 
ceased  to  distribute  gratuities  on  every  hand 
and  to  enjoy  being  cheated  in  the  most  open 
and  audacious  manner.  Many  of  them  have 
adopted  the  habit  of  looking  at  their  bills 
before   oaying,    and  some   have    eone  so 


far  as  to  Vefose  p^^inent  latil  llagxant 
and  premeditated  errois  had  Twen  corrected. 
They  have  declined  to  recognize  service 
which  has  nitt  'been  rendered ;  have  a«ked 
the  price  of  rooms  before  engaging  them; 
have  demanded  reparation  for  gross  neglect 
and  deliberate  dishonesty;  in  brief,  have 
acted  as  tra  veins  belonging  to  other  nations 
act  under  like  circumstances. 

This  is  so  imlike  their  behavior  of  old 
that  it  is  not  strange  it  is  called  mean- 
ness. Comparatively,  it  is  such ;  but  it  is  a 
very  sensible  «ort  of  meanness,  and  one 
which  it  behooves  us  to  practice.  Since  the 
Autumn  of  '73,  most  of  us  have  felt  the 
necessity  of  economy,  and  many  of  our 
tourists  abiroad,  who  have  been  accustomed 
to  empty  their  purses  with  foolish  alacrity, 
have  been  constrained  to  observe  prudence. 
Perhaps  they  chafe  under  the  financial  re- 
straint which  obliges  them  not  to  make 
asses  of  themselves,  considenng  asinine 
performance  one  of  their  special  preroga- 
tives, if  not  a  natural  right. 

But  there  are  a  great  many  more  Ameri- 
can tourists  who  have  scattered  money,  not 
from  vanity,  nor  from  any  disposition  to 
extravagance.  They  knew  that  it  was  ex- 
pected of  Americans,  (most  of  us  are  pretty 
apt  to  answer  expectations  formed  of  us, 
however  irrational,)  and  they  believed  it 
would  save  a  deal  uf  trouble.  They  have 
found,  since  the  !,'iiieral  pressure  and  dull- 
ness, that  the.v  i.^ve  wasted  considerable 
money  ;  that,  aa  hil  ■  :i  certain  amoimt  judi- 
ciously spent  preVtnts  friction  and  increases 
convenience,  it-  iiii.'Scellaneous  distribution 
does  no  good  an  J  often  subjects  them  to 
annoyance.  jTlu'v'have,  in  'consequence, 
formed  new  hii ■>;  1  s  in  traveling,  and  have 
been  surprised  t.i  see  how  well  they  get  on. 
Thus  the  duli  tiij:t;s  have  been  beneficial  to 
us  as  travelers  ii.-  well  as  in  other  ways — 
necessity  being  a  stem  though  most  effi- 
cient teacher. 

Whatever  the  ■oiamereial  future  of  the 
country,  it  is  ijue.stionable  if  we  shall  ever 
re-establish  a'Divn  J  the  reputation  for  mone- 
tary carelessutr:~  >yhich,  it  seems,  we  are 
steadily  losia.:.  \  r'  it  is  not  already  lost.  It 
is  to  be  hopeu  liiut  we  have  lost  it  absolute- 
ly and  for  aV:  time.  The  convenience  and 
agreeablenes^  ui"  tjur"  foreign  travel  would 
be  much  inii'  ;'.t'  d  if  it  should  come  to  be 
understood  b>'  l>Ji'^igners  that  Americans 
look  upon  iif  ii: -y  aS  other  people  do ;  that 
they  are  not  ;•  •  iiing  every  opportunity  and 
pretext  to  ^••;  ild  of  it ;  that  they  intend  to 
have  an  eijniv:iknt  for  what  they  spend. 
^Vhat  Ameriiaii  has  ever  been  abroad,  even 
for  a  few  weeks,  without  frequently  wishing 
himself  of  some  other  nationality  f  We 
may  rejoice  in  and  be  proud  of  our  country: 
but  it  is  not  pleasant  to  be  the  perpetual 
object  of  overcharges  and  doivnright  swin- 
dles because  we  happened  to  be  bom  in 
the  United  States.  We  do  not  always 
permit  ourselves  to  be  thus  wronged, 
though  a  great  many  of  us  j-ield  with- 
out protest;  but  even  when  we  do  not, 
it  is  exasperating  to  have  the  attempt  inces- 
santly made,  and  to  see  the  blank  surprise 
which  greets  any  effort  at  resistance,  ^VTien 
we  remember,  too,  that  we  owe  our  annoy- 
ance to  the  vanity  and  foUy  of  otir  compat- 
riots, we  feel  mortified  on  their  account. 
We  are  prompted  to  stand  on  our  rights — if 
Americans  have  any  rights  abroad — and  to 
oppose  petty  swindles  which  we  should  not 
have  opposed  were  we  not  moved  to  over- 
come the  impression  left  by  our  siUy  coun- 
trjTuen,  by  conducting  ourselves  bke  French, 
German,  or  English  travelers. 

If  only  those  Americans  who  covet  the 
reputation  of  being  indifferent  to  money  had 
to  part  with  it  in  travel  nobody  would  care. 
They  would  be  allowed  -by  every  sensible 
person  an  entire  monopoly  of  such  cheap 
fame.  But,  unfortunately,  all  of  us  have  to 
pay  for  their  folly,  and  are  also  compelled 
to  sustain  a  reputation  we  are  anxious  to 
destroy,  A  very  large  part  of  our  tourists 
possess  little  means;  many  of  them  are 
obliged  to  pinch  in  order  to  get  the  where- 
withal to  go  abroad,  and  the  additional  tax 
laid  on  them  on  account  of  their  nativity 
bears  heavily — all  the  more  when  it  is  re- 
membered how  foolishly  it  Ti5>-  ukuv.  caused. 
That  circumstances  have,  otcn  recently 
undoing  our  inconvenient  reputation  for 
wealth,  extravagance,  and  foolishness  is 
reason  for  congratulation  ;  for  when  Amer- 
icans are  thought,  out  of  their  own  land, 
to  have  common  sense  on  the  subject  of 
money,  their  travels  will  -be  far  less  expen- 
sive, and  they  will  be  spared,  besides,  mor- 
tifications and  annovances  without  end.

the  position  because  he  was  once  indicted  for  selling 
liquor  when  in  the  grocery  business. 

The  call  for  the  Massachusetts  Democratic

The  black  snakes  seem  to  be  of  aspiring  di» 
positions  this  year.  One,  four  and  a  quarter  feet 
long,  crawled  to  the  fourth  story  of  a  building  in 
Cincinnati  on  Sunday,  and  ensconced  iiim^^^f  jn  a 
bird-ea£B.  The  contents  of  a  pan  of  hot  water  caused 
him  to  glide  quickly  out  of  the  cage,  and  to  fall

A  meeting  to  facilitate  the  emigration  of  tm- 
employed  laborers  to  the  West  was  held  in  Piiiladel- 
phia  Monday  night.  It  wnA"  stated  that  there  are  71 
families  in  WiUcesbarre,  26  in  Xorristown,  36  in 
Chester  and  Wilmington,  51  in  Baltimore,  and  about 
5,000  persons  in  Philadelphia,  anxious  to  seek  In  the

Hon.  Joseph  H.  Williams  has  formally  ac- 
cepted the  Democratic  nomination  for  Governor  of 
Maine.  He  says  that  it  was  the  St.  Louis  platfonr 
that  led  him  to  renew  his  co-operation  with  the 
Democratic  Party,  from  which  he  had  been  sex>arated 
20  years,  and  that  be  nowhere  finds  in  the  second 
resolution  of  the  State  platform  any  impeachment  o* 
the  President's  title  to  the  high  office  which  he  oc- 
cupies. 

The  Springfield  (Mass,)  RepuWican  says  that 
25  years  ago  sis  meii  in  Massachusetts  and  seven  in 
this  State  entered  into  an  agreement  that,  as  each 
died,  the  survivors  should  attend  his  funeral  and 
that  the  departed  should  appear  to  the  others  after 
death,  if  possible.  Only  two  now  survive,  one  in 
SpringSeld  and  <tne  in  Albany,  and.  so  far  as  known, 
none  of  the  departed  have  revisited  their  old  com- 
panions or  made  any  sign  that  they  have  not  forgot- 
ten all  about  their  promise.  ^

EESOLUTIONS  ADOPTED  STROXGLT  URGIXO 
THE  RE-ENACTMENT  OP  THE  CANADIAN" 
KECIPROCITT  TREATY — RADICAI.  CHANGES 
IN  THE  BANKRUPT  LAW  EECOMMENDED— 
SIGNAL  SERVICE  EXTENSION  ADVOCATED. 

illLWAlKEE,  Wis.,  Aug.  23. — The  Xa- 
tional  Board  of  Trade  reassembled  at  10  o'clock. 
The  committee  to  whom  the  subject  was  referred 
last  year  presented  a  roport  stioagly  urging 
re-enactment  of  the  the  reciprocity  treaty  with 
C-nada,  closing  as  follows  : 

Jiesolved,  That  the  President  of  the  United  States 
be  and  is  hereby  respectfully  requested  to  consider 
the  expediency  of  reconinieudin;;  Conpiess.  in  his  first 
annual  Me.^sage.  to  authorize  and  provide  by  api>ro- 
priate  legislation  for  the  appointment  of  acommission 
to  co-operate  on  the  part  of  the  Unit*^  States,  with  a 
commission  to  be  appointed  by  the  Oovemmeat  of 
Great  Britain,  in  the  negotiation  of  a  treaty  of  recip- 
rocal trade  between  the  United  States  and  the  Prov- 
inces of  Canada. 

Jiegolted,  That  the  object  of  the  proposed  treaty 
being  the  promotion  of  kindly  fet.lin^  and  mutu.%lly 
profitable  trade  between  two  great  and  kiudred  com- 
munities, liWug  in  close  proximitv  to  each  other,  the 
negotiations  now  recommended  should  be  conducted 
in  a  liberal  spirit  and  with  a  view  to  securing  _  such 
conce-ision  on  both  sides,  at  the  outset,  as  are  Jjen^- 
mlly  recognized  and  desirable,  and  ajs  are  iiamediiitelv 
obtainable,  ieavina  it  to  time  and  exi>erieiice  to  indi- 
cate by  wliat  method  and  to  what  extent  further 
freedom  of  coinmer«*ial  intercourse  may  be  extended 
in  the  future. 

Jieiuh-ed.  That  in  the  jnd^rment  of  tlie  Xational 
Board  of  Trade  it  is  1  loth  uuueeessary  and  impolitic 
to  complicate  and  embarrass  the  pr^ssineaud  itia- 
portant  issue  of  recijirocal  trade  between  the  United 
h'tates  and  the  iKuninion  of  Canad-i  with  anv  cou- 
siiieratious  or  speculations  bearing  upon  the  political 
relations  at  the  pre.sent  time  subtistiuij  or  remotely 
possible  between  the. two  countries. 

lieat'hfd.  That  a  A:onumttee  of  nine,  of  whom  the 
President  of  the  Board  of  Trade  shall  be  Chairman, 
be  appointed  to  take  charge  of  tiiis  subjt.ct  until  the 
next  meetinc  of  the  board,  and  to  adopt  surli  cr.m- 
bined  action  in  reference  to  it  as  may  seem  expedient. 

Mr.  Adam  Brown,  of  the  Dominion  Board  of 
Trade,  and  Mr,  White,  of  Montreal,  addressed 
the- board  in  favor  of  reciprocity.  The  debate 
Wi'.^  participated  in  by  Messrs,  Dorr,  of  BulTalo ; 
Hayes,  of  Detroit :  Buchanan,  of  Trenton,  and 
otijcrs.  The  resolutions  were  adopted  Willi  onlj 
six  votes  in  the  nenaiive.   ~ 

The  committee  to  which  was  referred  the 
several  propositions  concerning  resumption  re- 
ported the  following  resolution  : 

lieiolceu.  That  in  the  opinion  of  the  National  Board 
of  Trade.  Congress  has  omitted  to  pass  the  ne<;e*i*ary 
measures  to  caiTy  the  Resumption  Act  into  rffei-'t, 
and  it  tberetore  re'-ommends  that  Congreas  should 
enact  a  law  authorizing  the  funt^ng  of  the  iet.'a] 
tender  notes  in  bonds  running  40  yrfirs.  and  bearing 
4  per  cent.,  interest  per  annum,  parable  quarterly, 
to  an  amount  not  exceeding  $10.0tKJ,000  per  month 
tintil  tile  legal  tender  notes  shall  be  at  par  with  coin- 
Mr.  Taylor,  of  Cincinnati,  made  a  speech  in 
support  of  the'  resolution.  Mr,  Oldershaw,  of 
Chicago,  moved  as  a  substitutie  the  resolution 
submitted  by  tlie  Board  of  Trade  of  that  city, 
in  favor  of  legal  tender  notes  issued  by  the 
Federal  Government  and  redeemable  in  coin  on 
demand.  After  a  protracted  debate,  the  sub- 
stitute was  rejected.  The  resolution  reported 
by  the  committee  was  then  adopted  with  three 
dissenting  voices. 

The  Committee  on  the  Bankrupt  law  reported 
as  follows : 

Hesohei.  That  in  the  opinion  of  the  Xatiousl 
Board  of  Trade  the  existing  Bankrupt  law  of  our 
country  is  unjust  in  its  e.ssential  fealures.^nd  those 
features  are  rendered  still  more  unjust  and  oppres- 
sive in  the  construction  put  upon  them  by  the  courts, 
and  hence  ought  to  be  repealed,  or  better,  be  so 
altered  and  amended  as  to  avoid  if  possible 
the  great  wrongs  which  are  now  perpetrated  under 
their  sanction.  We  say  unjust  because  it  operates, 
first,  as  a  premium  niion  fraud,  by  making  it  in  tho 
interest  ot  the  debtor  to  offer  low  terms  ~of  composi- 
tion, thereby  making  to  themselves  more  money,  or 
rather  retaining:  others'  money  not  belonging  to  them, 
than  they  could  acciuire  by  their  labor  and  with  a  due 
sense  of  iutegrity  ;  second,  because  it  places  the  honest 
merchant  at  the  mercy  of  the  dishonest  merchant, 
by  a  shameless  and  reckless  disregard  of  obligations, 
knowing  that  relief  can  be  had  for  all  indebtedness 
and  dishonesty  in  the  Bankrupt  act ;  third,  that  in 
this  regard  it  demoralizes  business,  destroys  ceaimer- 
cial  integrity.  Impairs  confidence,  and  tends  to 
destroy  the  credit  upon  wiiich  our  whole  commercial 
fabric"  rests,  and  therefore.  .  operates  as  much 
to  the  injury  of  honest  enterprise  needing 
aid  as  to  the  injury-  of  the  unfortunate  and  betrayed 
creditor;  fourth,  tliat  the  law  is  not  uniform  in  its 
operations,  as  required  by  the  Constitution,  bat  has 
39  applications,  corresponding  to  the  number  of 
States  in  the  Ci  ion.  and  thus  great  injustice  arises  to 
creditors,  and  gives  debtors  rights  in  one  State  de- 
nied those  living  in  other  States,  whereas  creditora 
sho'uld  stand  _  alike  in  all  States  of  the  Union 
under  the  oper,ttions  of  a  national  Jaw; 
fifth,  that  the  judicial  constructien  put  upon  priority 
or  unsectu-ed  liens  and  confes-sions  of  judgment 
operate  with  the  greatest  hardship  upon  unsuspect- 
ing creditors,  comnellLug  them  to  give  credits  in  the 
dark,  and  to  lo.^se  the  credits  by  attacks  in  ambush,' 
confirmed  under  the  solemn  sanctions  of  law  :  sixth, 
that  the  composition  feature  of  the  law  Ls  its  most 
odious  feature,  opening  the  door  to  the  most  shame- 
less frauds,  and  destrf)ying  the  very  foundations  of 
that  confidence  on  which  ail  commercial  credits  exist, 

Btinolred.  That  a  special  committee'of  seven  be  ap- 
pointed, of  which  the  President  of  this  board  shall  be 
Chairman,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  de\-ise  sach 
changes  of  the  bankrupt  law  as,  wh'de  thev  secure 
the  just  ends  sought  in  such  relief  laws,  shall  at  the 
same  time  avoid,  if  that  be  possible,  the  evils  herein 
pointed  out,  and  such  other  evils  as  siiall  be  found  to 
exist  in  said  law,  and  present  the  same  to  Congress  at 
its  next  regular  session,  and  urge  upon  that  body 
their  adoption. 

Mr.  Allen,  of  Milwaukee,  spoke  in  favor  o£ 
the  resolutions,  which  were  adopted. 

The  following  resolution  was  adopted  : 

Wiiercoi.  The  inception  and  organization  of  that 
di\is:on  of  the  Sigmil  Service  of  the  United  States 
Army  which  is  included  iinder  the  head  of  ""  Tele- 
grams and  Reports  for  the  Benefit  of  Commerce  and 
.Agriculture."  was  in  a  measure  due  to  the  action  of 
the  National  Board  of  Trade  at  its  meeting  in  Rich- 
mond in  1^69  :  and 

Wherea»,  This  board,  fully  appreciating  the  suc- 
cess of  what  was  at  first  an  experiment,  realizing 
from  the  work  so  far  accomplished  its  value  to  the 
commercial  and  agriculttiral  interests  of  the  coun- 
try, whereby  both  lives  and  property  have  been 
saved,  and  having  due  regard  for  the  necessitj"  of  its 
continuance  in  the  future,  does  resolve  ; 

That  the  National  Board  of  Trade,  as  an  exponent 
of  Ihe  business  interests  of  the  country,  respectfully 
recommend  and  urg^  upon  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States  that  the  Bureau  of  Telegrtims  and  Re- 
ports for  the  benefit  of  Commerce  and  Agriculture  be 
made  a  distinct  and  permanent  bureau  of  the  Wai 
Department,  with  such  increased  appropriations  as 
may  insure  and  niaintain  the  service  in  its  present 
state  of  efficiency,  and  that  the  service  be  increased 
by  additions  to  the  number  of  its  stations  and  ob- 
servers, in  order  that  it  may  nearly  approach  that 
perfection  in  local  observations  which  u  greatly  to 
be  desired. 

Resolutions  were  adopted  to  prevent  members 
expelled  or  suspended  by  one  local  board  from 
becoming  members  of  another  board.  Ad- 
journed, In  the  evening  the  delegates  were  en- 
tertain^ at  a  banquet  by  the  business  men  of 
Milwaukee.  ^

fiosTON;  Aug.  23.— An  interview  with 
Senator  Edmonds,  of  Vermont,  on  the  Presi- 
dent's order  to  office-holders  and  the  feeling  of. 
Vermont  Bepublicana  thereon  will  be  published 
here  in  the  morning.  The  Senator  says: 
'*  I  have  not  seen  one  Vermont  BepobU- 
can  who  does  not  think  the  order  a 
mistake,  and  while  it  is  founded  on  correct  no- 
tions, it  is  not  advantageous  to  the  public  inters 
est."  He  did  not  see  why  a  man  who  waa  able 
to  fin  an  office,  and  had  worked  hard  to 
get  the  place,  should  be  debarred  from 
having  anytiiing  to  say  .  about  his 
P«rty,  or  .  taking  further,  actdo^  in 
support  of  it.  .  "  There  is  no  mo^.  reaaoiZ''  he 
said,  "  that  he  should  cease  to  talk  abouc  cur- 
rency than  that  Hr.  Sherman  ^ould.  U  Mr. 
Sherman  talks  about  the  policy  of  the  Govern- 
ment, remonetizing  silver,  resumption,  &c., 
in  Ohio,  why  not  a  petty  Postmaster, 
in  the  midst  of  our  Green  Mountains,  about  the 
plans  of  his  office,  his  desire  to  accommodate  the 
public,  and  his  attempts  for  the  improvement 
of  mail  facilities.  This  order,"  he  continued, 
"  will  simply  destroy,  for  ifap  time  being,  any 
practical  work  in  the  RepubHcan  Party."  Mr. 
Edmunds  thought  that  the  many  abuses  in  the 
party  could  be  corrected  without  striking  at  the 
foundation  of  the  party  machinery.  In  New- 
Tork  City,  he  said,  the  great  body  of  the  Repub- 
licans had  worked  hard  to  get  this  sys- 
tem. Thus,  the  men  ^  in  office  had  to 
do  ^the  work  and  •  pay  the  •  bills.  "There 
are-  men  -there,"  "he  said,  **who  would 
not  come  out  and  vote  unless  sent  after  with  a 
four-horse  barouohe.  There  are  men  who  find 
fault  wiUi  the  Administration  on  account  of  its 
gold  policy,  or  its  Indian  policy,  and  nearly 
•Terything  that  it  does.  Let  the  policy 
be  -  changed  or  not,  they  are  never 
suited.  They  never  did  work  for  the  success  of 
the  party ;  they  never  wiU.  I  have  always 
been  in  ^  favor  of  .  civil  service  reform," 
Senator^  Edmunds  \  furtlier  said.  *•  es- 
pecially'J  during  the-  last  four  years,  and 
I  alwa^  expect  to ;  be,  but  1  don't  see  how  this 
order  is  eoing  to  assist  it"  When  Conmss 
meets.  Senator  J  Edmunds  thinks  there  will  be 
trouble.  -  but  *  not  from  this  order  of 
the  President,  ^  nor  from  his  so-called 
Soathem  policy.  *  The  difficulty  will  "be  about 
weightier  subjects — the  remonetizing  of  silver, 
resumption,  the  tariff,  and  questions  wMch  will 
cause  discussion.  **  I  think,''  he  added  *'  that 
the  President  will  allow  us  the  liberty  of  opin- 
ion which  he  seems  desirous  the  office-holders 
should  not  have."

/  Coi.TJMBrs,  Aug.  23. — The  opening  meet- 
Izig  of  the  campaign  for  the  Democracy  here 
to-night  was  not  by  any  means  marked  by  a 
degree  of  enthusiasm  and  numerical  strength 
calculated  to  elevate  the  hopes  of  the  party. 
There  was  a  liberal  supply  of  music  and  pyro- 
technic accompanients  as  means  of  attracting 
an  audience,  and  about  2,000  people  assembled 
in  Capitol-square.  A  very  large  proporti6n  of 
those  present  were  representatives  of  the  indus- 
'  trial  class,  ^i.  Hozi.  ,  George  H.  Pendleton  and 
Cten.  Thomas  Ewing  were  the  speakers.  R.  "hi. 
Bishop,  the  Democratie  nominee  for  Governor. 
Hon..  John >G.  Thompson,  Chairman  of  the 
State  Central  -|  Committee, ,  and  several  other 
prominent  Democrats  from  viurioas  parts  of  the' 
State  occupied  seats  on  the  platform.  Judge  J. 
H. .  Anderson,  ^  a  wealthy  private  •  banker  of 
this  city,  *  presided.  The  utter  '  lack  *  of 
enthusiasm* was  a  source  of  eeneral  remark. 
Z>uring  the  speech  of  Mr.  Pendleton  there  were 
a  few  faint  attempts  at  ,  applause,  but 
the  ripple  was  invariably  ^  lost  before  it 
had 'extended  10  feet  from  where  it  origi- 
nated. The  crowd  could  not  be  "enthused." 
Mr.  Pendleton's  exposition  of  the  labor  question 
was  quietly  diseased  bv  little  knots  of  l^teners 
heo-e  and  there  among  the  crowd,  and ,  the  com- 
ments were  by  no  means  favorable  to  the  De- 
mocracy.^ Mr.  Ewing  had  no  better 
sncce^  and  before  he  was  half  through 
the  crowd  had  dwindled  away  to  about 
one-half  its  original  dimensions.  Mr.  Bishop 
was  called  out  at  the  conclusion  of  Mr.  Pendle- 
ton's remarks,  but  the  Gubernatorial  aspirant 
evidently  had  more  faith  in  his  ability  to  sell  tea 
and  coffee  than  make  a  political  speech.  He  simply 
said  that  he  warmly  indorsed  the  sentiments  oi 
rthe  honorable  gentleman  who  had  preceded 
Jt<m  ;  that  If  called  to  the  Sxecutive  chair  he 
^ovUd  endeavor  to  conduct  the  affairs  of  the 
fState  to  the  best  of  his  ability,  and  that  he 
rwonld  endeavor  to  shape  his  conduct  m''  the 
.jPature  as .  he  had  in  the  '  past,  whaliBver 
'that  might  mean.  It  is  safe  to  say  tbat^  the 
iopening  of  the  campaign  for  the  unterrified  in 
this  State  is  not  altogether  auspicious.  Follow- 
'ine  are  abstracts  of  the  speeches  of  Messrs. 
iPendleton  and  Ewing : 
^  Mr.  Pendletouj spoke  in  substance  as  follows : 
-  Mt  FxLLOW-CrnzzNS  :  I  speak  to  you  to-night  be- 
■caoBe  our  country  siuffers  ;  because  honest,  Indiiu- 
.trious  men  seek  employment  in  vain,  and  their  fam- 
iliea  want  food.  There  must  be  a  cause.  What  is  it  ? 
>One  fact  confronts  us  In  this  inquiry.  Tha  laws  of 
taxation,  ths  laws  of  the  tariff,  the  commercial  sys- 
tem, the  financial  system — thepe  tench  the  very  life 
and  beinjc  of  the  whole  social  and  industrial  fabric. 

The  tariff  Is  an  ill-adjusted  tax.  It  produces  lit- 
tle revenue,  is  extremely  onerous  on  those  who 
Import  and  pay  duties,  extorts  large  subsidies  for 
private  interests  from  those  who  do  not,  and  saps 
the  prosperity  of  every  industry,  even  those  it  af- 
fects to  protect.  Stircely  s~^hlp  navigates  the 
oceanunderthe  tlagof  the  Unitga  States,  and  the 
few  wnich  do  are  bidlt  on  the  Clyde  and  belong  to 
foreien  owners.  The  financial  system  may  be  briefly 
stated.  An  immense  public  indebtedness,  payable  in 
3>aper,  has.  by  the  effect  of  two  laws,  been  made  pay- 
able tn  gold  only,  and  thereby  been  increased  30  per 
ocnt.  Silver  has  been  demonetized,  and  gold,  the 
cmly  remaining  legal  tender  for  the  bonds,  has  been 
enhanced  accordingly.  Besumption  of  specie  pay- 
ments has  been  ordered  for  January,  1879,  and 
within  18  months  they  have  no  plan,  except  the  Il- 
legal contraction  of  greenbacks  or  the  impossible 
hoarding  of  gold.  The  first  measure  largely  increases 
the  indebtedness.  The  second  diminisheB  the  cur- 
rency in  which  that  indebtedness  can  be  paid.  The 
third  effectually  and  necessarily  destroys  the  indus- 
tries and  energies  by  which  the  means  of  pay  can  be 
earned.  The  E^yption  policy  of  requiring  bricks, 
and  not  famishing  straw,  was  mercy  in  comparison. 

It  is  in  the  power  of  Congress  to  effect  allthis  re- 
lief to  labor,  but  not  according  to  this  Repnbhcan 
plan.  I  will  point  out-the  Democratic  plan  hereafter. 
Congressional  intervention  to  secure  "fair  returns 
on  capital,  fahr  wages  to  laborers,  good  management 
of  railroads !"  "V^ihence  does  Congress  derive  this 
power  I  Where  is  the  erant  in  3ie  Constitution? 
It  is  nowhere  to  be  fonnd;  this  action  Is  utterly  be- 
yond the  scope  of  the  powers  or  the  functions  of 
the  Federal  Government.  "All  powers  not  granted 
are  reserved."  No  man  can  pomt  out  this  grant. 
If  Congress  ■  may  intervene  to  this  extent  in 
the  case  of  a  railroad,  it  may  intervene  also  in 
the  case  of  every  machine-shop  and  foundry  aud 
manufacturing  establishment  in  the  land.  If  it 
may  secure  »ir  wages  to  laborers — that  is.  more 
wages  thanemployers  are  willing  to  give — so  It  may 
secure,  nay.  mast  secure  fair  service  to  the  employ- 
ers; that  is,  more  service,  or  longer  service,  or  differ- 
ent service,  .than  workmen  are  willing  to  render.  Is 
It  part  of  the  duty  of  any  government — is  it  within 
the  limited  and  delegated  jKiwers  of  our  Govem- 
xoent — to  socure  "  r'&ir  returns  for  capital  invested  i " 
And  if  it  were  within  the  '©gal  powers,  how  shall  it 
be  accomplished  }  By  what  proccsss  can  governments 
decide  what  nrlvate  soeculations  shall  be  made,  and 
provide  thab  all  speculations  which  are  leeal  shall  be 
profitable  I  The  courtji  are  open ''to  adjust  contro- 
vcraies,  reconcile  interests,  and  establish  justice  and 
equity  between  employers  and  employes."  If  their 
process  is  slow,  it  should  be  made-  speedy ;  if  their 
machinerv  is  cumbrous,  it  should  be  made  sim- 
ple. What  other  tribunals  are  needed  f  What 
gQukt  funotions  coujd  be  performed  unless,  indeed.  It 
be  intended  to  deprive  both  employer  and  emnloye 
of  all  free  agency,  an<££o  require  them  to  submit  in 
«n  things — the  giving-  employment,  the  rendering 
tMTvlce,  the  rate  of  wages,  the  quantum  of  labor^ 
to  the  arbitrary  dictation  of  this  "  statutory  arbi- 
tration." This  declaration  either  means  nothing  or 
it  means  greatly  too  mneh.  It  is  either  a  eminingly 
devised  phrase,  meaning  nothing  and  intended  to  de- 
eetve  the  working  men,  or  it  is  a  revolution  in  our 
Government  fraught  with  the  worst  evils  to  the 
working  men  themselves.  Capital  and  labor!  the 
^Jr  and  honest  adjustment  of  profits  between 
tiwml  This  has  been  the  problem  of  the

Capitalists

of  contract  on  which  both  shall  apree,  and  Govern 
inent  has  done  all  that  it  beneficially  can  when  it  se- 
cures to  all  respectively  this  freedom,  and  when  it 
fairly  and  fully  and  speedily  enforces  this  contract. 
The  Republican  cantUdate  for  Governor  has  made 
bis  own  commentary  on  '.be  platfortn.  He  wotild 
provide  by  law  that  railroad  companies  should  pay  a 
fljted  rate  of  wages  to  the  employes,  a  fixed  rate' of 
dividend  to  the  capital,  and  should  divide  tbe  residue 
of  the  profits  between  the  stockholden  and  the  la- 
borers. What  rate  of  wages  1  What  rate  of  divi- 
dend? Who  shall  decide?  By  what  role  shall  it  be 
^  ascertained  ?  But  suppose  the  railroad  is  unf  ortn- 
*nate,  and  there  are  no  profits;  shall  the  wages  then 
be  reduced  below  the  rate  In  order  to  make  a  di\-i- 
'  dend  T  Capital  being  invested  in  an  unprofitable  or 
unfortunate  road  can  not  be  taken  out ;  it  must 
remain.  Labor,  having  no  such  tie,  may  turn  else- 
where. Shall  It  be  forced  to  remain  ?  Shall  it  be 
compelled  to  work  at  the  diminished  wages?  If 
not,  what  possibility  Is  there  for  a  fair  return  for 
the  capital  invested?  What  would  the  "statutory 
.arbitration"  do  in  such  case  ?  If  the  scheme  is  so 
beneficent,  why  confine  It  to  railroads  ?  Why  not 
apply  it  to  manufactories,  to  husbandry,  to  the  house- 
hold !  Nay,  why  not  to  the  law  office  of  the  candi- 
date himself,  and  make  semi-annually  a  division  of 
the  surplus  profits  with  the  woman  who  sweeps  it 
and  the  boy  who  carries  bis  books  to  the  court- 
house I  "So,  gentlemen  ;  these  are  all  devices  to  the 
detriment  of  labor.  Grovemment  may  establish  Po- 
lice regulations  and  sanitary  regulations ;  it  may  pro- 
vide for  safety  in  the  construction  of  factories  and 
mines ;  it  may  regulate  the  employment  of  children 
of  tender  years,  or  persons  of  feeble  and  unsound 
mind;  it  may  appoint  inspectors  and  other  officers 
to  secure  these  ends  j-  it  may,  perhaps,  exercise  still 
other  powers,  in  the  case  of  common  carriers,  and 
of  railroads,  which  extend  from  one  end  of  the  con- 
tinent to  the  other,  in  which  it  Is  part  owner  by  sub- 
scription or  donation ;  but  when  it  goes  further  and 
assumes  to  take  laborers  under  its  especial  and  pa- 
rental care,  to  make  them  the  wards  of  the  nation,  it 
belittles  and  injures  them. 

Labor  should  be  free,  untrammeled.  left  to  itself. 
Its  contracts  should  be  speedily  enforced.  It.s  in- 
juries should  be  speedily  redressed.  The  burdens 
imposed  upon  it  should  be  made  as  light  as  possible. 
The  advantages  of  education  furnished  by  the  State 
should  be  msde  easy  to  all  its  children.  An  enlight. 
ened  public  opinion  should  award  honor  to  its  high- 
est self-respect  and  honorable  self-assertion.  Under 
these  conditions  it  can  best  fight  the  hara  battle  of 
life,  aud  most  successfully  overcome  the  disadvanta- 
ges of  the  daUy  straggle  -for  the  daily  bread  This  ; 
question  has  been  brought  into  special  prominence  . 
just  now  by  the  strikes  and  subsequent  riots.  No 
man  approves,  every  right-thinking  man  condemns 
and  deprecates  lawless  violence  toward  person  or 
property,  and  believes  it  should  be  restrained  and 
punished  by  the  strong  arm  of  the  law.  Yet,  let  us 
.  not  deceive  ourselves  or  do  wrong  to  others.  Strikes 
are  the  loud  mutterings,  the  open  acts  which  suffer- 
ings produce.  Strikes  are  the  protests  which  scant 
food  and  scant  clothing  and  poor  homes  make 
a,painat  greater  reduction.  Strikes  are  tbe  voice  of 
discontent,  and  discontent,  restless  as  it  is,  for  a  long 
time,  aye,  so  long  as  possible,  bears  '"  the  ills  we 
have."  Happy  men  do  not  strike.  Prosperous  men 
do  not  strike.  There  were  bad  men  and  wicked  men, 
and  ill-advised  men. who  willfully  did  wrong  and  com- 
mitted crime,  but  at  the  bottom^  of  this  great  up- 
heaval there  was  a  cause,  and  that  cause  was  tbe 
inability  of  willing,  honest,  industrious  men  to  ob- 
tain work  and  earn  wages  for  wife  and  children. 
"ff^ages  were  low,  men  were  working  on  short  time  ; 
wages  were  long  unpaid,  families  were  buying  on 
credit  at  tbe  retail  shops.  Wages  were  to  be  reduced 
stilllower.  and  no  prospect  of  prompter  payment. 
Ton  migibt  as  "well  try  to  check  the  thunder  in  the 
slcy  as  to  suppress  the  wail  of  human  anguish  ex- 
torted hv  these  conditions.  Vntil  the  cause  shall  bo 
removed  strikes  will  be  made  and  violence  and 
crimes  will  ensue.  But  down  at  the  bottom,  under- 
lying this  conflict,  which  is  but  an  incident  and 
symptom,  there  is  a  graver  conflict  and  a  miehtier 
struggle,  arraying  greater  forces  and  stimulating 
more.gigant]c  efforts.  It  is  the  conflict  between  that 
capital  which  emplovs  no  human  labor,  which  works 
with  no  human  hancLs  which  never  pauses  by  night 
orbydav,  in  Winter  snows  or  Summer  heat," or  Au- 
tumn rains,  which  never  wearies,  never  rests,  never 
loses,  but  ever  gathers  in  its  increase  and  its  intere^^t 
— and  that  capital  which  employs  labor  feeds  unter- 
prise,  stimulat«?s  industy  aud  brings  into  activity  and 
co-operation  the  hand,  the  head,  the  busy  brain,  the 
cunnh:^  ingenuitv,  the  productive  energies  of  all  the 
forces  of  accumulated  wealth  and  human  rieor.  It 
Is  the  conflict  between  that  power  which  seizes  the 
production  of  others  and  that  power  which  itself  pro- 
duces. It  is  the  conflict  between  the  money  power 
,&nd  tbe  industries  of  the  country. 

^y  the  money  power  1  mean  iliose  whose  aim  and 
object  and  piurpose  in  life  is  not  by  energy  au<l  en- 
terprise and  industry  and  the  co-operation  of  capi- 
tal and  labor  to  add  to  the  aggregate  wealth  of  the 
world,  but  by  legislation,  Inte^retation.  and  rombi- 
nation  to  add  to  the  value  of  accumulated  money. 
Eveiy  man  knows  this  can  be  done  onlv  by  decivas- 
ing  the  value  of  every  product  of  lat>or  and  skill, 
destroyine  or  making  doubtful  the  profits  of  all  en- 
terprisa.  discouraging  all  busine.^.  In  this  struggle 
the  money  power  has  been  successful.  Energy. 
enteTOrise,  industry,  business  lie  prostrate  Iwfore  it. 
The  Democratic  Party  proposes  the  exact  opposite  of 
this.  Tracing  the  pauperism  and  discontent  of  the 
people  and  Ihe  prostration  of  all  prosi>erity  to  the 
vicious  policy  which  I  have  described,  it  demanda 
the  rep^  of  the  Resumption  Act,  the  restoration  of 
the  old  silveT  dollar,  the  retention  of  greenbacks, 
the  cessation  of  thpic^^mtraction,  aud  finally,  the  is- 
sue of  all  rir^U^tuig  mfediqm  by  the  Government. 
making  it  all  fflfrgal  tender,  a&d  the  paper  and  the 
coin  interconvertible  at  par.  This  will  give  us  a 
stable  currency,  a  sound  currency,  and  a  safe  cur- 
rtmcy. 

The  speech  of  Hon.  Thomas  Ewing  was  very  long. 
and  in  its  printed  form  makes  10  closely -printed 
large  octavo  pages.  Long  as  it  was.  bowover.  it  may 
all  be  summed  up  in  the  assertion  that  the  country 
is  going  rapidly  to  ruin  by  the  operation  of  the  Re- 
sumption law.  and  will  speedily  reach  it  unless  the 
law  is  repealed,  rilver  renxonetized.  Treasury  notes 
substituted  for  bank  notes,  and  greenbacks  made 
payable  for  Customs  duties.

IXG    THE    XOMINATIOK     FOR    GOVERNOR 
AND   APPROVING   THE    PLATFORiL 

'  Augusta,  Me.,  Aug.  23. — The  letter  of 
Hon.  J.  H.  Williams  accepting  the  Democratic 
nomination  for  Governor  of  Maine  contains 
the  following  in  relation  to  the  resolutions 
adopted  by  the  nominating  convention : 

'*  Considering  the  second  resolution,  I  nowhere  find 
In  it  any  impeachment  of  the  President's  title  to  the 
high  office  which  he  now  occupies,  and  I  have  no  dif- 
ficulty in  according  to  it  my  full  concurrence.  That 
title,  though  stoutly  contested,  was  recognized  and 
became  valid  by  the  decision  of  the  tribunal  which 
acted  under  authority  of  law  to  which  all  parties 
and  all  the  States,  through  their  Senators  and  Kepre- 
sentatives  in  Congress,  hnd  eiven  their  delib- 
erate assent.  Tho  fraud  charged  by  that 
resoluticui  referred,  as  I  understand  from  the  Ian- 
gnsge  used,  to  transactions  which  took  place  in  the 
discharge  of  the  functions  of  the  Returning  lioard^ 
of  Louisiana  and  other  States — illegal  and  fraudulent 
acts,  within  the  competencv  of  those  States  respec- 
tively to  deal  with — but  which,  in  the  view  taken  by 
the  Electoral  Commission,  might  have  occurred  as 
alleged,  and  yet  be  beyond  the  range  of  their  juris- 
diction to  judicially  determine.  The  thirdresolution 
confirms  my  understanding  of  the  scope  and  intent 
of  the  second,  as  above  expressed,  containine  as  it 
does  a  recognition  of  the  wisdom  of  the  President's 
Southern  policy,  which,  in  turn,  is  an  admission  on 
his  part  of  the  soundness  of  the  doctrinos  of  the 
Democratic  Party  upon  that  subject.  Tbe  entire 
series  of  resolutions,  therefore,  has  my  unqualified

THE  MYSTERIOUS  FOfiOERS. 


AN  INNOCENT  MAN  HANGED. 
Louisville,  Ky.,  Aug.  23. — Statements 
are  made  that  Richard  Shuck,  who  was  hanged 
last  month  for  murder  in  Owenton,  Ky.,  was 
innocent,  so  far  as  the  crime  for  which  he  suf- 
fered is  concerned.  Shuck  was  implicated  in 
many  Ku-klux  outrages,  but  in  this  particular 
instance  he  seems  to  have  been  innocent, 
although  he  was  present  when  Paris  was  .slain. 
His  confession,  and  the  statements  of  Dave 
Carter,  since  arrested,  show  the  existence  of  a 
regular  band  of  outlaws,  the  leaders  of  which 
are  all  now  in  custody.

GESSNEB  DELIVERED  TO  THE  POLICE. 

WESTON  TO  BE  USED  AS  A  WITNESS — SPRAGUE 
STILL  HIDDEN  AND  SAID  TO  HAVE  TURNED 
INFOEMEB — OTHER  ARRESTS  TO  BE  HADE 
— THE  TIMES  FORCES  THE  DETECTIVES 
TO  SHOW  THEIR  HANDS — A  CURIOUS  CASE. 
Superintendent  Walling  last  evening  took 
positive  action  in  the  case  of  the  forgers  who  wera 
captured  in  Chicago  by  ex-SDedal  Treasury  Agent 
Jayne,  and  whose  mysterious  movements  have 
been  so  keenly  watched  by  a  host  of  news- 
paper reporters.  The  result  of  this  ac- 
tion on  the  part  of  the  Municipal  Police 
is  that  Kelson  A.  Gessner,  the  chief  of  the  the  forg- 
ers, is  now  a  prisoner  in  one  of  the  cells  at  Police 
Head-quarters.  Yesterday  afternoon,  Mr.  Henry  E. 
Knox,  of  the  law  firm  of  FuUerton,  Crosby  &  Knox, 
counsel  for  the  New-Tork  Life  Insurance '  Company, 
called  on  the  Superintendent,  and  had  a  protracted 
interview  with  him.  At  about  5  o'clock  last  evening 
Sergt.  Keally,  of  the  Detective  Office,  proceeded  to 
tbe  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel  for  the  purpose  of  taking 
into  custody  CoL  Gessner,  who  is  suspected  of 
complicity  in  the  successful  forgery  of  a 
check  for  $26,986  75,  purporting  to  have  been 
drawn  by  "Winslow,  Lanier  &  Co.  on  the  Third  Na- 
tional Bank  in  December  last.  On  arriving  at  tha 
hotel,  Seret-  Kealey  sent  his  card  to  Mr.  Jayne'a 
room,  and  was  immediately  told  to  walk  up 
stairs.  He  was  at  once  admitted  to  Mr, 
Jayne's  room,  snd  was  .  courteously  re- 
ceived. Mr.  Jayne  iiitroduced  the  Sergeant 
to  Hr.  T.  J.  Henderson,  who  he  said  was  a  Chicago 
detective,  and  also  presented  Ely  B.  Weston,  who  he 
claimed  was  not  a  prisoner  but  merely  held  as  a 
witness  agaimtt  some  other  parties  to  be 
arrested.  Sergt.  Kealey  made  known  bis  bosiness 
to  Mr.  Jayne,  and  the  latter  said  that  he  would  not 
offer  any  obstacle  to  the  arrust  of  Gessner  by  the 
Sergeant,  and  sent  for  the  prisoner,  who  occupied  a 
room  adjoining  that  of  Jayne.  Kealey  placed 
Gessner  under  arrest  and  brought  him  to 
the  Central  Office,  where  he  was  locked  up.  The 
particulars  of  the  crime  for  which  Gessner  is  now  in 
custody  were  fuUy  puhlLshed  in  yesterday's  Timbs. 
His  accomplice,  Sprsgne,  Is  said  to  be  under 
arrest,  and  is  giving  information  wliich  will 
lead  to  further  arrests.  Seret.  Kiely  refused 
last  evening  to  disclose  the  nalnre  of  the  evidence 
again.9t  Gessner.  but  as  the  accused  will  be  arraigned 
at  the  Tombs  Police  Court  at  lo  o'clock  this  morn- 
ing for  examination,  the  facts  in  this  exceedingly 
curious  case  will  then  probably  be  made  known.  All 
access  to  the  prisoner  was  refused  last  nipht.  and 
the  authorities  carefully  watclied  to  prevent  any 
communication  with  him  bv  outsiders.  It  Is  proba- 
ble that  another  arrest  will  bo  made  to-day  In  tbe 
same  ctn^e,  but  the  detectives  are  verj-  reticent,  and 
absolutely  refuse  to  rnitverse  on  th-'*  .subject. 

Mr.  .Tayne  paid  his  bill  nt  the  Pifth-Avenue  Hotel, 
asked  for  his  valise,  and  left  for  partsunknown  about 
7  o'clock  last  evening.  A  diligeut  search  in  other 
hotels  where  he  has  been  in  the  habit  of  staying 
failed  to  discover  his  whereabouts.  His  action  in 
tuminii  Ge.ssner  over  to  th«  Police  authorities  was 
undoubtedly  forced  by  tlio  esposur©  in  yesterday's 
Times.  Some  further  particulars  'in  rejs^rd  to  tne 
forsers  were  learned  yeiiterd.iy  from  authoritative 
sources,  !i^prague,  in  addition  to  his  other  rascali- 
ties, was  the  man  who  some  seven  or  eipbt  yearn  ^ 
.started  a  number  of  offlce.s  in  the  louver  part  of  the 
City,  and  swindled  hundreds  nf  poor  forei^n-bom  per- 
sons by  means  of  worthU-ss  drait.s  for  small  amounts, 
liu  alsu  kept  on  hand  a  lar^e  quantity  of  spu- 
rious coin,  which  he  palmed  off  on  Lntendiog  emi- 
grants in  exchange  for  preenbacks.  He  is  described 
as  a  tall,  weazened,  sickly-lookint;  man,  slow  and 
smooth  of  manner,  and  wearing  a  cropped  mustache, 
which  he  keeps  dyeil  a  very  deep  black.  He  has  a 
wife  who  is  said  to  be  a  fine  lady  and  gf>od  looking. 
Wtston.  the  witness,  after  leaving  this  City  made  a 
tour  of  the  Wfst ,  and  swindled  a  numtier 
of  savings  banks  by  means  of  forged 
drafts  in  Louisville,  Cincinnati,  St.  Ix)uls.  and 
other  places  of  sums  varjiiigfromi?l,<MH>  to  $6.01)0. 
The  detective  who  waa  following  him  says  that  ho

BOND  FORGERS  ARRESTED. 

SPCRIOL'S  ST.  LOUIS  COUNTY  BOJJDS  IN  CIRCU- 
LATION—GOOD WORK  ET  DETECTIVE 
riKKERTOy — HISTORY  OF  THE  CASE. 

Another  case  of  bond  forgery  in  which  the 
accused  are  alUijed  to  have  offered  for  sale  some 
spurious  St.  Louis  County  (Mo.)  bonds,  came  up  for 
examination  yesterday  beforu  Justice  Duffy,  at  the 
Tombs  Police  Court.  About  tlirce  wetks  ago  a  well- 
known  Broad-street  broker  called  on  Mr.  Robert  A. 
Pinkerton,  of  Pinkerton's  Detective  Auency,  and  in, 
formed  nim  that  he  hud  bbcu  approached  in  a  sus- 
picious manner  by  a  man  who  had  for  .sale  some  St. 
Louis  County  bond.s,  which  he,  the  broker,  on  close 
eiiaminatiou,  deemed  to  be  counterfeit  and  Irregfular. 
The  detective's  suspicions  were  imnaediately  aroused  i 
ho  thoroughly  investigated  the  matter,  and  was  final- 
ly rewarded  by  discovering  the  man  who  had  the 
bonds  for  sale,  and  whose  full  name  and  title  is 
"  Col. "  WiUiam  Carrerer.  J.  C.  Hurd,  a  curb-stone, 
broker,  wa.<;  also  trj'ing  to  negotiate  the  sale  of  these 
bonds,  but  the  detectives,  after  making  strict  in- 
quiries into  the  matter,  completely  exon- 
erate him  from  all  complicity  in  the  af- 
fair, as  ho  was  only  used  as  a  tool 
by  Carrerer.  Detective  Pinkerton,  having  fully  sat 
isfied  liimself  that  there  was  something  "crooked" 
in  the  matter,  immediately  telegraphed  to  Superin- 
tendent SIcDonouyh.  Chief  of  Police  ,in  St.  Louis, 
and  informed  him  of  the  circumstances  of  tho  case, 
at  the  same  time  asking  him  if  he  wished  to  take  any 
steps  in  regard  to  arresting  the  party  or  parties  who 
were  uttering  the  foiged  bonds.  Superintendent 
McDonougb  laid  the  matter  at  once  before  the  St. 
Louis  Police  Board,  who  fortunately  happened  to  be 
in  session,  and  the  latter  came  to  the  conclusion  that 
it  would  be  advisable  to  send  an  officer  to  this  City  to 
represent  the  interests  of  St.  Louis  County.  In  ac- 
cordance with  this  conclusion  Detective  SviUiam  J. 
Tucker,  of  the  St.  Louis  Metropolitan  Police  force, 
arrived  in  this  City  on  Tuesday  morning,  when  the 
ease  was  laid  before  the  District  Attorney,  who 
deemed  it  of  sufficient  importance  to  detail  Detec- 
tives Fields  and  O'Connor,  of  his  office,  to  assist  iu 
working  the  matter  up. 

The  next  day  the  detectives  met  in  Pinkerton's 
office  for  consultation,  and  while  engaged  in  discuss- 
ing the  matter,  M^.  John  Kanna,  of  Ute  tirm  of  Haima 
Bros,,  brokers,  >.o.  2  New-street,  came  in.  This 
gentleman,  who  had  been  warned  previously  by 
Detective  Pinkerton  to  keep  a  sharp  lookout  for  any 
St.  Louis  Couutj'  bonds  that  mightbe  on  the  market, 
imparted  the  information  that  Messrs.  Perkins,  Liv- 
ingston &Post.  of  Xo.  ^3  Xassau-atreet,  had  purchased 
from  a  broker  named  Johnson,  whose  place  of  busi- 
ness is  Xo.  5:i  Broadwsy,  Room  Xo.  59,  10  $1,000 
bonds  of  au  issue  of  the  year  1853,  to  run  for  2.^ 
years  from  date.  This  tr.'uisaction  took  place  on 
Tuesday,  and  it  was  not  uatil  Wednesday  that  De- 
tective'Pinkerton  was  informed  of  it.  when  he  re- 
paired to  the  oflice  of  Messrs.  Perkins,  Livingston  & 
Post,  where  Mr.  Jolinson  also  happened  to  be  await- 
ing pajTuent.  The  tirm  informed  the  detective  that, 
though  tbey  had  negotiated  for  the  sale  of  the  bonds 
and  had  already  sold  them,  they  had  not  yet  given 
Johnson  tbe  check  for  the  amount.  An  examination 
showed  that  the  cousecutivo  numbers  on  some  of  the 
bonds  were  of  a  higher  denomination  than  they  could 
possibly  have  been  on  the  original.  The  genuine 
bonds  were  numbered  from  l,31Jto  1,338  iiwlusive, 
whereas  the  numbers  on  the  bonds  in  the  hands  of 
Perkins,  Livingston  &  Post,  which  did  not  correspond 
with  the  originals,  ranged  from  1,350  to  1.359.  On 
asking  Johnson  for  un  ex)>!anation.  he  said  that  he 
received  the  bonds  on  commission  from  a  man  who 
represented  himself  as  John  H.  Hnsted,  of  Stock- 
port, TS.  Y.,  and  who  came  to  him  with  a  letter  of 
^  Latnadnffttion  miiT^ortiQg  to  haye  been  writt^  hr  ft 


•OB  o<  Doia  fikhmond,  sad  oa  hia  uU&c  fiuteid 
hcn«'h«-gDtpo«ae«slon  of  the  bonds,  the  Utwr  stated 
that  he  received  them  from  a  man  asmed  John 

Wheeler,  to  whom  he  J^UFted}  xoftde  ft  loftn  of 
9^,500  on  the  bonds.  Tbe  deteetiTe  went  immedi- 
ately with  Johnson  to  hia  offl^  and  there  arreated 
Hnsted,  who  was  leiatmdy  prmnenading  In  the  corri- 
dor in-  front  of  the  ofBea,  waiting  for  Johnson's  Tfr- 
turn  that  he  might  get  paid  for  the  bonds. 

"When  Detective  Phuterton  returned  to  his  offlee 
he  learned  that  "  Col."  Carrerer .  and  Hard  had 
called  at  the  office  of  Hanna^rothers.  Carrerer  waa 
forthwith  arrested,  and  on  his  person  was  found  one 
f  1,000  St.  Louis  Countv  bono.  No.  1,334.  Kurd, 
being  only  a  dupe,  was  allowed  to  go.  Carrerer  said 
that  he  got  the  bond  from  John  J.  Can- 
non, of  No.  221'W'e8t  Sixteenth- street.  Carrerernnd 
Hasted  were  then  taken  to  the  Fourteenth  Piecfaiet 
Station-house,  and  were  there  charged  with  foisery. 
The  next  thing  on  the  programme  was  to  arrett  Cfta- 
non,  a  matter  which  the  detectives  f  otmd  to  be  aom»- 
what  inconvenient,  as  they  kept  a  strict  watch  on  hia 
house  all  Wednesday  night,  and  did  not  aueceed 
la  arresting  Mm  until  9  o'clock  yesterday 
morning  when  coming  out  <d  hia  honae.  De- 
tectives Fields  and  O'Connor  recognized  Cannon 
as  an  old  and  experienced  forger,  having  aerred  eight 
yean  alreadv  m  the  Maaaaehhaetts  State  Priaon. 
Andrew  Ii.  Boberts  and  Valentine  Gleaaon,  ahaa 
*' Canada  JacK,"  who  are  now  eonlhied  in  Lodlow- 
Street  Jail  for  a  similar  offense,  are  old  "pals"  of 
his.  Cannon's  name  Is  also  connected  with  the 
forgery  of  the  $04,000-check  on  the  Cnion  Trust 
Companr,  and  also  with  the  9^000  on  the  Third 
National  Bank.  He  is  well  known  to  Detective  El- 
der and  other  detectives  thioughout  the  Citv,  havinz 
been  several  times  arrested  by  them  for  a  umilar  o^ 
fense. 

Carrerer,  who  has  been  In  the  Confederate  Army, 
from  whence  he  derives  his  title  of  "Colonel,"  ia» 
man  of  about  38  years  of  age  and  of  exceedingly 
good  address.  After  hl«  arrest  he  admitted  to  hav- 
ing offered  and  passed  $25,000  worth  of  bonds  of 
the  City  of  Qtiincy,  HL.  which  were  issued  for  the 
construction  of  •'  the  Missouri  Pacific  Railway."  The 
bonds  were  sold  to  a  well-known  Broadway  banker 
by  a  broker  to  whom  Carrerer  had  given  them 
to  dispose  of,  and  the  broker,  after  obtaining  the 
money,  coolly  absconded,  much  to  the  Ooloners 
chagnn.  These  bonds  were  also  obtained  by  Carrerer 
from  Cannon,  who  seems  to  be  the  "boss."  The 
bc^ns  St.  Louis  Cotmtv  bonds,  which  have  been  of- 
fered for  sale,  are  well  executed,  and  so  like  are 
they  to  the  original  that  the  Continental  National 
Bank,  who  pay  the  coupons,  pronounces 
them  genuine,  and  up  to  yesterday  after- 
noon Messrs.  Perkins,  Livingston  &  Post  were 
still  in  doubt  as  to  the  genuineness  of  the  bonds. 
Detective  Robert  A.  Pinkerton.  however,  seem^  to 
have  no  doubt  in  the  matter.  In  regard  to  the  for- 
gery he  savs  that^  though  the  bonds  are  torn  and  tat- 
tered and  look  dirty  with  age,  they  are  in  reality  not 
printed  three  mouthc.  The  account  of  Husted's  ar- 
rest in  an  evening  paper  is  mere  fiction ;  the  latter 
did  not  shrink  back  from  the  cotmter  in  dismay  when 
confronted  by  the  detectives,  as  there  was  no  counter 
to  spring  back  from.  The  prisoner  was  arrested  In 
front  of  Johnson's  office,  and  not  in  the  office  of  Per- 
kins, Livingston  &  Post,  as  was  published  last  even- 
ing. Tho  three  prisoners.  "Colonel"  William  Car- 
rerer, John  H.  Hufited,  and  John  J.  Cannon,  were  re- 
manded for  furtlier  examination.  The  case  will  be 
called  at  3  o'clock  this  afternoon. 

St.  Louia,  Aug.  23. — ^The  publication  this  after- 
noon of  a  dispatch  from  New- York  mentioning  the 
arrest  of  HtLsted  and  Wilson,  having  forged 
St,  Louis  County  bonds  in  their  possession 
produced  considerable  comment  In  financial  and 
other  circles,  and  inquiry  at  Police  head-ouar- 
ters  revealed  the  fact  that  the  autboritlea  here 
knew  of  tlie  existence  of  the  fraudulent  bonds 
several  days  ago.  and  have  been  in  corresponeence 
with  Pinkerton  In  regard  to  the  matter.  Detective 
J.  W.  Tucker  waa  sent  to  New- York  on  the 
1 8th  Inst  to  cooperate  with  Pinkerton  in 
workine  up  the  case,  and  this  morning  Chief  of  Po- 
lice McDonsngh  left  for  the  same  place,  to  give  hia 
aid  in  the  matter.  Mr.  McDonnofcli  took 
with  him  several  canceled  genuine  bonds.  Identi- 
cal with  the  bonds  issued  that  has  been  foiged  ex- 
cept in  date  and  number,  and  besides  this  he  was 
personally  acquainted  with  Messrs.  Thomas  and 
J.<acey.  who  signed  the  original  bonds,  and  can 
readuy  identify  their  signature.  Nothing  will  be  left 
undone  by  Chief  HcDonough  and  the  authorities 
here  to  capture  everybody  connected  with  the  forgery 
and  secure  the  forced  bonds.  The  original  bonds  are 
for  $2,500.  dated  1853,  and  are  numbered  from 
1,313  to  1,338  inclusive. 

THE  FRENCH  CRISIS. 

PERSON'S   ATTACKING     THK     GOVERNMENT   TO 
BE     PROSECUTED— AKXIETT     KEGABDING 
THE  APPROACHING   ELECTIONS. 
Parjs,    Aug.    23. — The  Figaro   positively 
denies  to-day  the   accu.sation    of  almost  the  en- 
tire Paris  press  that  its  recent  attack  on  Gen. 
Berthaut,  Minister  of  War,  was  inspired  by  Gen. 
Ducrot.    It  renews  the  attack  and  recommends 

that  President  MocMahon  institute  an  inquiry 
into  the  management  of   the  "War  Department, 

The  clerical  organ,  Le  Difensf.  formally  de- 
clares that  it  has  been  decided  to  put  down  ull 
illegal  proceedings.  Any  one  delivering  speeches 
attacking  the  (lovemment  will  bu  urosecutcd. 

The  Republican  paper  Le  Temps  says : 
*' Throughout  France  there  exists  an  ill-defined, 
feeling  of  anxiety  Ic-^t  the  choice  of  the  coun- 
try 04  erpr*s.sed  at  the  approaching  elections 
should  be  disregarded.  There  Is  no  ground  for 
alarm,  but  good  cause  for  vigilance  and  pre- 
caution."

in  tho  plaintiflTs  suit  for  separation  against  the 
Marquis,  which  the  lecent  judgment  of  the

THE  MIXERS'  STRIKES. 

Scranton,  Penn.,  Aug.  23.— The  Dela- 
ware and  Lackawanna  Railroad  officials  at  this 
place  to-day  sent  an  engine  to  Brigg's  shaft,  two 
miles  distant,  to  got  the  loaded  coal  cars  stand- 
ing there  since  the  strike.  The  miners  refused 
to  let  them "  go,  and  cut  the  tele- 
graph wires.  The  engine  went  back 
for  assistance,  and  returned  to  Brigg*a  shaft. 
The  mining  companies  of  this  section  nave  now 
completed  their  payments  to  the  miners  for 
July.  The  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  Western 
Railroad  Company  paid  their  miners  about 
$90,000  instead  of  $100,000,  which  the  miners 
would  have  received  had  they  not  struck  and 
lost  several  days  in  July.  It  is  estimated  that 
the  miners  of  the  Delaware.  llackawanna 
and  Western,  Delaware  and  Hudson, 
and  Pennsylvania  coal  companies  would 
have  received  iu  September,  for  work  done 
in  August,  at  least  $250,000.  which  sum  is 
lost  to  them  in  consequence  of  their  strike.  To 
this  may  be  added  $50,000,  being  the  pay- 
ments of  smaller  operators,  so  that  the  total 
loss  to  the  men  is  $300,000.  This  tmmistakably 
tells  upoi>  the  business  men  of  this  region  as 
well  as  the  minors.  The  military,  with  an  en- 
gine, secured  the  cars  of  coal  wiUiout  disturb- 
ance and  brought  them  here. 

CxjMBEBLAXD.  Md.,  Aug.  23, — To-day  the 
drivers  in  tho^ew-Central  and  American  coal 
companies  mines  struck  for  an  advance  from 
$1  75  to  $2  per  day,  action  similar  to  that 
of  the  Matyland  drivers  yesterday. 
The  Superintendent,  after  some  parleying, 
compromised  on  $1  90,  and  work  went  on.  This 
region  is  turning  out  a  htaavy  quantity  of  coal 
now  daily,  and  the  canal  is  doing  a  good  busi- 
ness, but  there  is  an  uneasiness  and  uncertainty 
about  the  trade  not  very  promising  for  pro- 
longed operations.

Collector  of  Customs  at  Sitka,  Alaska,  an  olBce

Agent  at  Panama,  but  for  some  time  past  has 
been  connected  with  the  Bureau  of  Stadstics  of 
the  Treasury  Department.

to  serve  as  a  member  of  the  Sitting  Bull  Com

his  inability  to  go,  on  account  of  Uluess,  and 
Gen.  Francis  A.  Walker,  recently  Superintend-

WiUiam  Cassius  Goodloe,  of  Kentucky, 
has  applied  for  appointment  as  Minister  to 
Belgium.  He  is  an  "old  Whig,"  was  a  Union 
man  during  the  war,  and  his  son  has  just  been 
appointed  Paymaster- General  of  the  Marine 
Corps.  The  son  married  a  daughter  of  Sena-

dent  Hayes  was  inaugurated. 

Sscretary  Schurz  to-day  dismissed  George 
W.  Smith,  of  Ohio,  fmm  the  Government  ser- 
vice. Mr.  'Smith  is  a  relative  of  Commissioner 
Smith,  and  was  placed  by  him  iu  charge  of  tbe 
Division  of  Accounts,  the  most  imixirtant  di- 
vision of  the  Indian  Office.  Facts  have  recently 
come  to  light  showing  that  Smith  (Gfeorge  W.) 
has  tieen  utterly  incompetent  and  Inefficient, 
and  it  was  for  this  that  he  was  removed. 

The  Unit«d  States  Consul  at  Munich  has 
forwarded  to  the  Department  of  State  circulars 
received  by  him  from  the  Minister  of  Foreign 
Affairs  for  transmission  to  the  Government  of 
the  United  States,  announcing  an  exhibition  of 
hops  and  tools  and  implements  used  in  the  cul- 
tivation of  hops  to  which  all  nations  are  invited 
to  contribute.  The  exhibition  will  be  held  in 
Nuremberg  from,  the  7th  to  the  15th  of  Octo- 
ber. 1877. 

A  circular  to  Collectors  of  Customs  and 
Special  Agents  has  been  issued  by  Acting  Sec- 
retary  of  the  Treasury  McCormick,  directing 
that  in  coses  of  any  seizures  hereafter  made  of 
vesseLs,  animals,  or  other  property  of  the  prob- 
able value  of  $2,000  or  upward,  a  detailed  re- 
port be  made  by  the  Collector  of  the  district  at 
once  by  letter,  setting  forth  particularly  the 
cause  of  seizure,  and  the  sections  of  Revised 
Statutes  supposed  to  have  been  violated. 

The  SoeretaiT  of  the  Interior,  some  time 
ago.  ordered  an  investigation  of  the  methods  of 
bu.slness  in  the  Indian  Ofilce,  and  tbe  report, 
which  he  characterises  as  a  masterpiece  in  its 
way,  showing  the  most  patient  and  intelligent 
work  on  the  part  of  the  commission,  was  hand- 
ed to  him  to-day.  It  includes  recommendations 
for  a  re-organization  of  tho  Indian  Office, 
which  the  Secretary  will  act  u^n,  with  such 
changes  and  additions  as  his  own  judgment 
may  suggest.  The  other  bureaus  of  the  Inte- 
rior Department  will  be  examined  in  the  same 
way  as  rapidly  as  possible,  and  it  is  probable 
that  before  Winter  the  entire  department  will 
be  reorganized. 

Detective  Benson,  of  the  Secret  Service, 
has  been  engaged  for  several  weeks  In  the  in- 
vestigation of  the  expenditure  of  money  in  im- 
provements in  the  harbors  at  Buffalo  and  Erie, 
which  are  in  charge  of  Col,  Blunt,  of  the  En- 
gineer Corps.  Benson  flnd.s  serious  irregular- 
ities in  tho  letting  of  contracts  for  work  and 
the  purchase  of  materials,  and  upon  his  evidence 
several  contractors  at  both  places  will  probably 
be  indicted.  There  is  no  e"\'idence  yet  obtained 
to  show  that  CoL  Blunt  is  implicated  in  any 
frauds,  but  the  sm^picions  against  him  are  so 
strong  that  Inspector  Davis,  of  the  Army,  has 
been  sent  to  examine  his  accounts.  The  crimi- 
nal prosecution  of  contractors  will  be  com- 
menced at  once,  but  no  evidence  relative  to 
Col.  Blunt  will  be  given  to  the  Grand  Jury  un- 
til Inspector  Davis  has  reported  to  the  War  De- 
partment. 

The  committee  from  the  Interior  Depart- 
ment which  has  been  investigating  the  Indian 
Bureau  for  nearly  three  month.^  have  com- 
pleted their  work  as  far  as  the  direct  evidence 
IS  concerned,  and  Secretary  Schurz  has  given  a 
printed  copy  of  the  testimony  to  Chief  Clerk 
Galpin,  agamst  whom  the  charges  were  origi- 
nally preferred.  Galpin  is  allowed  an  opportuni- 
ty to  examine  the  evidence  that  relates  to  him, 
and  can  recall  any  of  the  witnesses  for  cross- 
examination,  either  personally  or  by  attorney. 
When  he  has  completed  his  defense  other  clerks 
in  the  Indian  Bureau  will  be  notified  that 
there  is  evidence  to  their  disadvantage, 
and  vdM  be  given  a  full  opportunity  to  explain 
themselves  or  call  witnesses  in  their  defense. 
When  the  testimony  is  all  in  it  will  be  submit- 
ted to  Secretary  Schurz,  who  will  act  upon  it  as 
he  sees  proper.  It  there  is  any  evidence  dam- 
aging to  clerks,  whicii,  in  the  opinion  of  the 
Secretary,  is  properly  explained,  it  will  not  be 
made  public  ;  out  if  those  who  are  accused  are 
not  able  to  set  themselves  right  upon  the 
record,  the  evidence  against  them  will  be  pub- 
lished, and  they  will  be  dismissed  from  the 
service.

THE  PABIS  EXPOSITION. 
Washinqtok,  Aug.  23.— A  dispatch  has 
been  received  at  the  Department  of  State  from 
the  United  States  ChargS  d' Affaires  at  Paris, 
dated  Aug.  10.  announcing  that  the  ioamense 
exhibition  buildings  on  the<7hamp  de  Mars  and 
the  Trocadero  are  approaching  completion,  and 
that  all  the  foreign  Commissioners  are  on  the 
eve  of  entering  into  possession  of  the  respective 
places  assigned  them.  The  greatest  solicitude 
is  felt  by  the  administration  of  the  exhibition 
in  regard  to  the  intentions  of  the  United  States 
Government,  no  official  assurance  having  been 

received- therefrom.  The  Legation  is  in  receipt 
of  letters  dally  through  the  officers  in  charge  of 
the  e^niosition  from  the  United  States  applying 
for  inrbrm,ation,  space,  &c.  The  Commissioner- 
General  has  assured  the  Charg^  d' Affaires  that 
the  space  allotted  to  the  United  States  in  the 
original  designs  will  be  reserved  to  the  very 
latest  moment,  but  the  time  is  rapidly  approach- 
ing when,  for  the  general  good,  questions  of 
this  kind  mi^t  be  irrevocably  decided.  The 
matter  will  be  brought  to  the  attention  of  Con- 
gress, in  the  hope  of  ekrly  action  by  that  body. 


AX  UNSAFE  RAILROAD  BRIDGE. 

Baltimore,  Aug.  23. — The  through  New- 
York  express  train,  duo  at  President  at  8  o'clock 
last  night,  did  not  arrive  until  midnight,  hav- 
ing been  detained  at  Perryville,  on  the  other 
side  of  the  Susquehanna  River,  because  one  of 
the  spans  of  the  bridge  Tvas  found  to  be  unsafe. 
The  weak  spot  was  about  midway,  where  work- 
men were  engaged  in  removing  the  old  wooden 
spans  to  replace  them  with  iron,  which  the 
company  has  been  doiner  for  some  time.  The 
railroad  officials  at  Baltimore  state  that  when 
the  weakness  w^as  discovered  all  trains  were  at 
once  ordered  not  to  cross,  and  the  passenger 
train  for  Baltimore  was  the  first  detention.  The 
train  was  a  large  one,  with  about  200  passen- 
gers, who  remained  at  Perryville  until  cars 
c^uld  be  sent  from  Baltimore  to  Ha\Te-de- 
Grace,  when  they  were  transferred  across  the 
river.  The  cars  were  backed  from  Perryville 
half  way  across,  or  as  far  as  was  safe,  when  the 
passen^rs  landed  and  walked  the  remainder  of 
the  distance  on  the  planks  between  the  railwav 
tracks.  The  train  left  Havre-de-Grace  at  10:36 
P.  M. ,  and  made  good  time  from  there  to  Balti- 
more. The  baggage,  express,  and  mail  matter 
were  left  at  Perryville.  A  large  force  of  men 
was  set  to  work  to  strengthen  the  span.  The 
train  due  at  Baltimore  bv  midnight  was  also 
detained  at  Perryville.  The  train  ft>r  New- York 
last  night  left  on  time  at  1 1:30, 


AFFAIRS  IN  THE  WEST  INDIES. 

Havana,  Aug.    23.— The   English  mail 

steamer  has  arrived  bringing  the  following  ad- 
vices : 

St.  Thomas,  Aug.  17. — ^The  American  brig 
C.  S.  Packard,  rejwrts  having  spoken  on  the 
4th  Inst  in  latitude  35^  lO',  longitude  12°  20^, 
the  American  bark  Gazelle,  from  New- York, 
July  26,  for  Demerara,  badly  leaking. 

Sax  DoMiNoo,  Aug.  10. — President  Baez  has 
sent  a  message  to  the  Legislature  reviewing  the 
last  six  months.  He  says  the  relations  with 
foreign  powers,  excepting  Hayti,  are  friendly. 
He  has  sent  an  embassy  to  Hayti,  with  the  ob- 
ject of  Amicably  settUng  the  pending  difficxil- 
ties.  He  states  that  during  the  several  months 
of  his  administration  $400,000  were  spent  for 
the  sole  purpose  of  suppressing  insurrection.s. 
He  petitions  the  Assembly  to  suspend  temporar- 
ily the  constitntional  guarantees  granted  the 
people,  and  as  the  A.ssembly  is  composed  prin- 
cipally of  Baez's  friends,  it  will  probably  actoede 
to  his  wishes,  but  this  measure  would  apparent- 
ly precipitate  revolts.  The  President  is  re- 
ported to  have  shipped  $40,000  in  specie  to 
Curacoa  in  part  pa>-ment  of  a  loan  for  private 
ptirposeg.  The  Government  intends  to  have 
about  $100,000  in  nickel  currency  coined  in 
the  United  States. 

Hayti,  Aug.  10. — Peace  is  reported  to  have 
been  entirely  re- established.  President  Canal's 
health  is  much  improved.  He  attended  are- 
view  of  the  Army  at  Port-au-Prince. 


SUIT  AGAINST  THE  CONTROLLER. 

AXBAKY,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  23. — Thomas  Ham- 
ilton has  commenced  a  suit  in  the  name  of  the 
State  against  the  Controller,  to  compel  him  to 
pay  over  some  $2,200  appropriated  by  the  Le- 
gislature for  arrears  due  to  the  said  Hamilton 
for  materials,  woods,  &c.,  furnished  at  Sing 
Sing  to  the  State.  The  Controller  refuses  to 
pay  because,  as  claimed,  he  has  a  receipt  in  full 
tor  a  vear  later.  Mr.  Fowler,  the  attorney  for 
Mr.  ifamilton.  procured  an  alternative  writ  of 
maudamus  returnable  fSept.  1 ,  to  be  heard  at 
the  special  terra  before  Judge  Westbrook  at  the 
City  Hall  at  Kingston,  N.  Y.

spicuous in  the  upward  movement.  After  mid- 
day a  disposition  to  realize  was  developed,  tbe

prices  of  1q  to  2  V  cent.  At  the  second  call. 
However,  the  market  partially  recovered,  with 
New-York  Central  and  Bock  Island  as  leaders  of

low-priced  stocks,  like  Pacific  Mail,  'V^abash,  C,* 
C.  and  L  C,  and  Ohio  and  Mississippi,  were 
moved  up  to  the  best  figures  of  the  day.

mainder of  the  day.  The  farther  decline  in  the 
price  wag  stimulated  by  the  reported  shipment 
of  £100,000  yesterday  from  London  to  this

FLOUR  AND  MEAL — A  fairly  active  movement  was 
reported  lu  Sfate  and  TVestem  Flour,  which,  as  a  rule, 
varied  little  in  price.  The  offerings  of  desirable  lota 
were  on  a  compHrativel,v  moderate  scale,  and  the  prin- 
cipal holders  seemed  confident  in  their  views.  The  main 
inquiry  was  from  home  trade  sources,  the  export  call  hav- 
ing been  less  ui^cut.  Minnesota  Extras  and  fair  to  very 
good  Winter  \\'lieat  Extras  wore  mo^t  freely  dealt  in- 
City  Mill  Extras  were  lesj*  active,  but  quoted  essentially 
unchanged  as  to  values.  No.  2  Floor  was  in  reduced

-BEAVT     ITEXGHTS     AT     KOBTWALK     POINT  — 
A  SCALE  THAT  WZa6HZI>    NOTHING  LESS 
THAN     TWO      HUNDRED  1  POUKDS  —  THE 
ATTACK  ON  THE  BOAST — BOENSS  AT 
TABLE— A  SOLEVN' ELECTION. 
The  Fat  Men's  Association  and  Clam  Bake 
Society,  cotmopolitsQ  la  iu  charaeterr;  and  demanding 
nothing  of  a  member  bnt  that  he  shalCnot  ineifdileM 
than  300  pounds  aToiTdai>oUf  nor  he  ashamed  to  own 
tt.  -was  organized  in  1869.    It  hasgrown  to  be  a  body 
of  300  members,  and  many  of  those  mem'bers  have 
grown  from  "sneaks,"  who  barely  tippe^i  the  scale 
at  2O0  poonda,   to  be   men    of  goodJy  girth,  who 
threaten  the  scales  when  they  tread  vprm  th«  plat- 
form.   Yesterday  the  fleshy   society,  tibserving  an 
annual  custom,  partook  of  an  In<Uan  elam  loast  at 
Dorian's,  Xorwalk  Point,  and  showed,  a  good  many 
thin  people  who  came  to  look  at  themi  eat,  how  they 
should  feed  themselves  if  they  wisis  to  attain   to 
ireight  In  the  community.    In  seekio^  its  presiding 
officers  the  society  has  picked  out  some  goodly  giants. 
It  possesses  a  monster  cane,  with  a  gold   plate  about 
two  feet  in  length  upon  it.  and  on  this  are  already 
engraved  the  names  of  seven  men  who  have  occupied 
the  ample  chair  of  the  President  on  great  occasions. 
Sidney  Smith,   the  first  President,   was  a  Stamford 
man  who  -weighed  317  pounds ;  John  A.    P.  Fisk, 
of  Xew-Tork,  Smith's  successor,    was  3&8  pounds 
in      weight,    '  and      Andrew     Hall,      w'ho      came 
;next,     was     a     slight     man    who    only   weighed 
p*^    pounds.       Charles    W.    Bradley    was  hcJivier, 
■weii^bing  250,  which  was  pretty  well  for  Kew-Haven, 
'and  k'O  ^as  ;e-eleoted  because  he  gained  20  pounds  in 
m  yaajr-     Pawtucket  exceeded  it  in  Vf.  A.  Brlggs,  who 
weigh\^  ^^  pounds,  and  the  cu  Itivatlon  of  a  taste 
tor  clan  '•*»  roasted  and  otherwise,  by  Willard  Perkins, 
•"Won    htn  ^   the    Presidency    whan    he    weighed  369 
pounds,  aa  ^  ^^  served  a  second  ierm  at  372.    To-day 
h&  has  score  ^   ^^^   pounds,  and  Xhe  announcement 
created  a  senk  (^tion  among  the  fat  men  that  needed 
tnt  little  encon  ragement  to  convert;  it  into  a.  demand 
that  b«  sbonld  bi*  elected  for  a  thiird  term.     Patrick 
Murphy,  weighing    303  pounds,  sutveeded  .Perkins, 
and  was  to-day  re-elected. 

The  fat  men  from    New-York  were  fcaken  to  Nor- 
"walk  by  sij<«ial  boat,  and  they  formed  a  jolly  excur- 
sion party  up  the  Sound,     At  the  several  landings  In 
l>,'ew-York,  poraons  who  were  waiting  for  excursion 
boats  were  astonished  at  the  unnsoial  con5:regation  of 
corpulent  men    on  the  docks,  and  by  their  kittenish 
and  graceful  prsnks  as  they  jested  about  the  coming 
feast  and  at-licit^ted  the  sport  of  the  day  by  bulky 
dances.     As    the    groups   of  men.  varying  in  weight 
from  a  quarter  -of   a  ton  upward,  walktd  down  the 
gascplank.      it    creeked   and  bent    beneath     their 
weii^ht,  much    to    the  amusement    of   the  crowds  of 
small   boys    on    the    dock.       Onr^the    way    up  the 
fiound    the    decks    of     the    stesin-boat    wert    mer- 
Ty     with     the     8Q^ga     of     the^-  fat     men.    wb» 
gathered  in  circles  ui»on  the  forward  lower  deck,  and 
quaffed  innumerable  ^-la-ises  of  Isirer-beer.      Promi- 
nent  iimong  these  festfv  men  was  "Pete"  Reld,  of 
JCow-York.  a  cherub  of  2i'7  pounds,  who  sang  "Meet 
me  hv  MoonliRht  Alone.'*  »,^nd  "The  Boar  Came  Over 
the  Mountain,    In  a  raeUitia*»us  tenor  voice,  much  to 
the  entertainment  of  his  fellows,  whom  he  occasion- 
ally startled  by  falling  wiiu-'<t    when  they  were  en- 
tirely   unprepared    for  his  coming,  and  sometimes 
tiUeS  thi^m  un'-eremonlously  from  their  seats  to  the 
floor.     Thtre  were  not  a  few  fat  .ladies  on  board,  and 
tliev  seemed  to  enioy  the  sportM  keenly  as  fthe  men 
^ho  wera  ^ified  with  an  uncommon  qaantity   of    adi- 
pfise  tissue.      The  day  was  a  pnarminc  cue  on   the 
tvAtor.  and  the  three  hours'  trip  to  Gregor^/s  Point 
was  by  no  means  an  Irksome  one.      At  the  dock  nenr 
Dorlon's  Hotel  was  an  immense  thron?  waiting,  and 
the  Connecticut  and  Massarhivwttn  contingent  of  fat 
men  were  gathered  to  receive  the  New-Yorkers  upon 
Kew-Eni:lanii  w>il  and  to  the  ample  embraces   of  her 
Bfili.l  mt-n.     The  bay  was  thickly  dotted  with  sail  and 
row  boats,  drawn  to  the  spot  by  the  feast,   and  the 
roads  were  "lined  with  carriages   which  had  brought 
loads  of  peonle  to  share  in  the  dinner  and  rejoice  their 
tyes  with  the  siaht  of  fellow-creatureswho  were  happy 
In  weighing  more  than  the  average   Connecticut  man 
or  woman.    The  greetings  of  the  great  men   were 
hearty^  for  your  fat  man  is  nothing  if  not  boisteroos. 
They  then  marched  together  to  the  sc  >le8  which  had 
been  placed  on  the    lawn,  and  oho    after  the  otier, 
they  Bttbmitted  to  the  test  of  membership.    As  wall- 
known  m'*n  were  tried  and    found  to  have  lost  er 
zained  during  the  year,   they  were  rallied  with   aurfi 
fmpertinent  remarks  as  "  How  long^  ye   been  sick  f" 
or  ••  Better  go  to  Colorado,"  or"  Wei^h  Mm  after  din- 
ner."  Willard  Perkins  got  a  cheer  for  his  399.  althout:h 
Peter     BeiJ     expressed    the   opinion    that    Perkins 
ought  to  be  ashamed  for  not  making  it  a  round  40O. 
Mrs.    Susie  LAke.   of    Hampden,    proved    herself  a 
rolid  woman,  with  228  pounds  on  the  scale,  and  Mrs. 
8.  R.  Burnett,  of  Norwidk.  was  admitted  to  be  worthy 
to  be  spoken  in  the  same  breath   with   the  fat  men 
because  she  weighed  202,     Ninety  men  who   were 
weighed  agzregated  20.730  pounds,  or  an  average  of 
23U  1-3  pounds  to  each.     A   number  of  applicants 
:ame  to  be  weighed  who  were  allowed  to  step  upon 
the  scale*,  but  were  unable  to  ascertain  their  weight, 
as    the   weights    had  been    arranged    only    to    suit 
persons  of  more  than  2O0   pounds,  and  these  vt-n- 
luresome  ones  who  lacked  a  few  ounces  were  unmer- 
cifully   jeered  at  and    jested   with    for  their  failure. 
From  the  scales  attention  was  turned  to  the  bake  it- 
self, which  had  been  under  way  for  several  hours.  Its 
fragrance  fllJed  the  air,  and  no  one  had  any  difficulty 
•bout  finding  the  spot.    The  fires  had  been  lighted  at 
7  o'clock,  and  four  cords  of  hard  wood  had  been  used 
to  heat  the  stoves.      At   11  o'clock  Sam  Weston,  the 
champion  clam-bake  manaiier  of  the  neighborhood, 
cupermtcndeil  the  stacking  up  on  the  red  hot  stoves 
of  provisions  enough  for  a  regiment.  There  were  110 
bushels  of  clams  and  oysters.  300  chickens  wrapped 
in  cloths  and  laid  above  the  clams,  400  lobsters.  OOO 
pounds  of  hlueiish  wrapped  in  cloths,    3   barrels   of 
sweet  potatoes,  and  2  barrels  of  white  potatoes,  and 
to  top  all  1.<XK>  ears  of  green  com  in  the  husks.  This 
heap  WHS   coverc«l   "ivith   canvas  and  then  with  sen- 
■weed,  and  as  the  steim  rose  through   the   mass  there 
escaped  odors  that  .sharpened  the  appetites  of  the 
escnrsionists,  andmiido  the  fat  men   impatient  for 
the  word  to  be   tiveii    for    removing  the  cover.     At 
12:30  it  was  re»T.ay.  bat  not  until  2  o'clock  were  the 
tjibJ-H  filled,  and  the  mass   of  lish,    fowl,    and  vege- 
ti'^les  distnr&ed.    The  dinner  was  eaten  in  the  oprn 
]  av  lion    b*?fnro    the    hotel,     and    was    at    first    a 
rather  exciting  scramble  for  everything  by  every- 
body.   But  there  was  more  than  enough  for  all,  and 
those  who  came  late  fared  best.    For  onBThour  or 
mc»n?  the  fut  men,  the  exceedinglv  corpuS^^t  qpes, 
emptied  pan  after  pan   of  the  bake,  and  filled  up 
other  pan.-*  with   the  refuse   shells  of  clams  and  lob- 
sters.   But  while  the  fat  men  did  nobly,  it  was  a 
rliigular  fact  that  the  thin  men  in  the  .party  were 
mnch  better  eaters,  and  raised  the  highest  heaps  of 
refuse  in  quicker  time  than  the   fat  men.    After  din- 
ner   the     Fat     Men's     A-*>*i>ciation     held    a     meet- 
"inz     in     the    hotel    parlor.      President     Murphy 
sat  in  state  in  the  capacious  chair"  presented    to    the 
assoriarion.  and  listened    to    propositions    for    new 
tiiombers.    Several  persons  were    elected,   and  then 
the  election  of  officers  took  place,   which   resulted  in 
the  re-election  of  Patrick  Jiurphy  as  President  and 
n.  W.  Maples  as  Secretary  and  Treasurer.    A  balance 
remaining  to  be  paid  for  the  renewal  of  a  gold  plate 
on  the  i^esident  s  cone,  the  hat  was  passed  to  collect 
the  amount — about  $30.    But   31G  was  raised  the 
first  time,  and  tlien  U  was  sent  around  twice  more, 
nntil   the   whole   sum  required   had    been  raised. 
At  the  close  of  the  business  laeetine  the  result  was 
announced  from    the    balconv    of   the    hotel  to  the 
anxious  crowds  outside,  artd  Sir.   Murphy  gracefully 
acknowledged    the    compliment    paid  him  on  his  re- 
election.    The  band  played  "  Hail  to  the  Chiet "  and 
soon  after  the  time  for  the  boat  to  leave  arrived, 
and  the  jolly  fat  men  sadly  left  the  neighborhood  of 
Mie  bake  for  the    City.      Their  trip  down  was  more 
boisterous  than  that  up  the  Sound.  There  was  no  dis- 
turbance of  any  kind  during  the  day.  the  crowds  werre 
larger  than  thev  have  oeen  iu  recent  years,  and  nothing 
Dbieetionable  was  seen  except  a  Coney  Island  '•  pro- 
prietor" and  several  of  his  satellites,  who  ran  divert- 
biZ  games  for  the  Connecticut  youths  who  had  nickels 
tolose  and'experience  to  gain.     On  the  way  home 
the  fat  men  had  an  excellent  opportunity  to  see  the 
eclipse  of   the  moon,  but  they  wasted  it  in  singing 
and  recounting  the   adventures  of  the  brethren  at 
fonnpr  bakes.    Just  before  Twenty- third-street  was 
reached  a  dance  was  begun  on  the  forward  deck,  in 
which   Pete   Reld  and  Col.  Rucker  were  prominent 
figures,  their  motions  msemblingtho  c»P«Tr*  of  young 
elephants  more  than  anything  else.     The  following

CUBA'S  WROKG£f'  B£HEAR5EDi  AXD  THE 
C0T7BSE  OF  THE  OTnTED  STATES  QTTES- 
TIO'ED— A  CHAKOEnOF  POUCTTOWABD 
CUBA  UBGED. 
Messrs.  Charles  K.  Graham,  Joseph  Hayes, 
and  Juan  M.  Maeias,  the  committee  appointed  at  a 
rocent  meeting  of  the  Cuban Ijeagne,.ye«terdayiaaaed 
their  report.  The  document  openc  with  the  com- 
plaint that  Cuba  has  never  shared  in  the  good  wishes 
of  this  Government  which  have  been  «njoyed  by  any 
one  of  tbe  colonies  of  this  continent  in  aiaintalning  at 
the  point  of  the  bayonet  their  rights ;  but  that  in 
1826,  when  her  bonds  were  about  to  be  Woken  by 
the  Liberator  Bolivar,  this  Qovemment  inteipoted 
its  veto,  and  the  chains  of  Cuba  were  again-.Tiveted. 
With  the  view  that  such  a  policy  ^  is  no 
longer  necessary  on  the  part  of  this  Government, 
the  committee  presente  to  the  league  certain 
observations  touching  the  condition  of  Cuba  and  the 
attitude  of  the  United  States  toward  her  in  her  pres- 
ent struggle  for  liberty.  The  report  elidms  that  the 
co-operation  of  Spanish-American  coontrlca  would 
have  been  sufllclent  to  have  destroyed  forever 
Spanish  power  in  the  Antilles  but  for  the  attitude 
of  the  United  States  as  manifested  In  the 
President's  message,  indicating  an  opposi- ' 
tion  to  Cuban  Indepehdonco  through  any 
agency  other  than  its  own.  But  the 
resolution  of  the  Cuban  patriots  did  not  falter,  and 
their  attitude  changed  from  purely  defensive  to  of- 
fensivo  and  uigorous.  The  greater  part  of 
the  territory  of  the  Island  is  under 
tho  patriot's  sway,  although  Spain  holds  the  seaports 
through  the  strange  construction  put  by  the  late 
Administration  upon  the  set  of  1818,  which  forbids 
"  the  furnishing,  fitting  out,  or  arming  of  any  vessel 
to  cruise  or  commit  hostilities  against  the  sabjects* 
citizens,  or  property  of  any  foreign  prince  or  State, 
or  of  any  colony,  district,  or  people  with  whom  the 
United  States  are  at  peace."  Spain  was  allowed 
•openly  to  fit  out  30  pun-boats  in  this  port  to  operate 
against  the  citizens  of  the  colony  of  Cuba,  with  whom 
the  United  States  were  at  peace,  while  United  States 
officers  exercised  the  utmost  vigilance,  sometimes 
Tmdertheins'mclions  of  Spanish  spies,  to  intercept 
even  a  fishing-smack  bound  for  tbe  relief  of  the 
Onbans.  The  excuse  that  the  United^totes  did  not 
recognize  a  state  cf  war  iu  Cd9t>a,  although 
S.Use,  would,  if  true,  be  without  force, 
because  the  act  does  not  contemplate  a 
siate  of  war,  but  is  always  in  effect. 
Coba  therefore  has  a  right  to  complain,  and  to  claim 
the  enforcement  of  United  States  laws  so  far  as  they 
concern  her  rights.  The  revolntion  Is  invincible,  and 
it  can  only  be  claimed  for  Spain  that  she  Is  not  at 
this  instant  in  absolute  danger  of  seeing  her  Qovem- 
ment in  the  Islsnd  overthrown  by  force  of  arms. 
.Her  principal  has  been  from  the  Spanish  Bank. 
'  which  for  years  has  been  in  a  state  of  bankruptcy, 
and  whose  notes,  the  forced  currency  of  the  island. 
Are  not  worth  more  than  44  cents  on  the  dollar  in 
^iie  of  arbitrary  measures  A»  increase  their  value. 
Public  credit  is  artificially  sustained  by  oppresaive tiriflT 
and  direct  contribntion.s  upon  productions  amonntimc 
to  3li  per  cent,  of  the  grow  products,  and  often  at  the 
Government's  discretion,  to  more  than  the  not  re- 
sults of  an  entire  crop.  And  still,  having  increased 
the  public  reeeipu  from  $35,000,000  before  the 
■war  to  $84,000,000  now.  the  liovemment  not  only 
■fails  to  pay  widows  and  orphans  pensions,  but  even 
to  i>av  jegularly  or  to  properly  maintain  the  troops, 
thereby  occaaio'ning  many  desertions  to  the  patriot 
ranks.  This  can  only  result  in  decay,  and  it  be- 
hooves the  United  States  to  consider  it  in  connection 
with  her  own  national  interests. 

Public  documents  in  the  possession  of  the  com- 
mittee show  the  entries  of  suRar  iu  cases  and  ho;7s- 
heads  at  tbe  warehouseH  of  Havana  In  the  first  six 
months  of  the  years  1S75,  1S76,  «nd  1S77, 
respectively,  as  follows:  221.000.  168,700.  aud 
137,300  tons.  For  the  same  periods  the  exporta-' 
tions  from  Havana  and  ilatanzas  were :  238. 45>*. 
211,7*i2,  and  147.924  ton^s,  and  for  the  district  of 
Cardena,*.  105.226,  89.007.  and  59.813  tons  of 
sugar,  and  90,<H>0,  67,000.  and  3S,000  hogsheads 
of  molasses.  In  every  place  there  was.  the  same 
descending  progression,  while  the  proportion  in 
which  the  necessities  of  the  Government  increase 
and  its  resources  diminish  are  in  the  reverse  order. 
This  progress  of  CMba  toward  absolute  ruin  tends  to 
put  an  end  to  Spanish  dominion  in  the  Island. 
out  this  result  cannot  be  accomplished  without 
serious  injurv  to  American  national  Interests. 
The  imiports  from  Cuba  were,  in  1874,  $86,272,- 
466;  in  1875.  $06,745,527.  tod  in  1876,  $58,717.- 
ess.  This  shows  a  decrease  of  32  per  cent-  in  two 
years,  and  the  result  of  this  year  may  be  predicted, 
m  view  of  tbe  eeneral  decrease  of  the  crops .  In  Cuba, 
estimated  at  Id  per  cent.  With  an  absolute  scarcity 
of  sugar  in  Cuba,  there  will  be  less  return  for  Ameri- 
can general  productions  In  tbe  Cuban  market,  less 
occupation  ftir  her  merchant  marine,  and  an  increase 
in  the  coal  of  an  article  indispensable  to  45,000.000 
consumers  in  this  country.  The  noUcy  of  this  Govern- 
ment toward  Cuba  has  not  prevented  the  steady 
growth  of  the  revolution,  nor  favored  in  any  way 
the  finanrdal  policy,  or  secured  the  good  will  of  Span- 
lards,  who  to-day  regard  this  Government  with  dis- 
trust and  hatred.  Is  It  right  to  continue  a  policy 
which  makes  us  accomplices  in  the  prolon^ion  of  a 
bloody  struggle,  and  the  indefinite  continuance  of 
Cuban  slavery  1  Slavery  was  abolished  by 
the  Cuban  patriots  from  the  moment  the 
insurrection  began.  All  concessions  upon 
this  point  on  tbe  twrt  of  Spain  have  been 
forced  from  her.  The  law  for  the  abolition 
of  slavery  passed  at  the  urgent  Instance  of  the 
American  >unister  at  Madrid  was  a  ridiculous  farce, 
characteristic  of  a  nation  whose  traditional  policy  has* 
been  to  deceive  in  order  to  gain  time  Tbe  continu- 
ance of  slavery'  in  Cuba  at  this  moment,  under  the 
shadow  of  the  Spanish  flag.  Is  the  result  of  the  apathy 
and  indiffereuco  ivith  which,  during  nine  years,  the 
United  States  has  regarded  the  heroic  struggle  of  the 
Cupan  patriots.  To  suppress  the  insurrection  ' 
is  an  acluLOwledgM  Impossibility,  but  unless  civiliza- 
tion prevent*,  the  war  will  be  carried  to  total  de-f 
structioD.  The  liberty  of  500. OOO  slaves,  the  preser- 
vation of  the  remabiinc  resources  of  the  Ifdand, 
and  the  puttinK  an  end  to  useless  shedding  of  blood, 
depend  upon  the  polit-y  to  be  hereafter  followed  by 
the  Unit^  .States  toward  Spain,  and  upon  the  Gov- 
ernment assuming  simply  the  attitude  which  re* 
quires  neither  armed  in'ter%*ention  nor  diplomatic 
explanation.  The  committee  believe  that  Congress 
may  now  jointly  recognize  the  independence  of 
Cuba,  or  at  least  the  belligerent  rights  of  Cubans, 
and  therefore  recommends  that  a  petition  be  prepared 
by  the  League,  and  presented  at  the  next  session  of 
Concress.  'The  report  is  signed  by  Charles  K.  Gra- 
ham, Joseph  Hays,  and  Juan  M.  Maeias,  Committee.

KET — THE  RELEASE  OP  THE  FRAUDU- 
LENT  ARMY   PURVEYORS. 

A  letter  received  in  this  City  from  Havana, 
Aug.  13,  contains  the  following:  "The  depressed 
state  of  the  sugar  market  here,  consequent  upon  an 
equal  condition  of  foreign  markets,  has,  thus  far,  not 
had  the  disastrous  influence  upon  financial  affairs 
which  some  have  reported  to  be  the  case.  Parties  of 
rickety  standing,  of  course,  feel  Its  effects,  but  as  a 
general  thing  there  is  no  anxiety  evinced  to  sell  in 
order  to  raise  money,  but,  on  the  contrary,  holders 
are  keeping  back.  It  has  also  been  said  that  the 
stringency  of  our  money  market  is  such  that  banks 
refused  to  advance  any  money  against  sunir  certifi- 
cates. This,  even  if  it  should  be  true,  out  which 
I  doubt,  is  counterbalanced  by  the  fact  that 
banking  firms  are  quite  ready  to  advance  money,  and 
one  of  our  leading  sugar  houses  states  that  money 
was  offered  them  actuAlly  at  a  low  rate.  Taking  the 
rate  of  gold  as  a  barometer  it  indicates  nothing  ex- 
traordinary, for  it  keeps  Arm  at  an  average  rate  of 
127. 

'  The  reports  about  Jovellar  having  received  dtders 
to  release  the  fraudulent  army  purveyors  are  con- 
firmed. Their  cases  were  taken  in  hand  by  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  Spain,  which  ordered  their  release — 
on  what  grounds  remains  a  mystery — 
and  Jovellar  bad  to  obey.  The  short 
visit  of  Martinez  Campos  to  this  city 
was  no  doubt  in  relation  to  the  question  whether 
jovellar  should  resign  In  consequence  of  this  rebuff 
and  expose  affairs  on  the  Island  thereby  to 
new  and  very  dangerotw  changes,  or  stay 
and  pocket  the  insult  and  his  wounded  feel- 
ings for  the  benefit  of  the  expected  pacification 
of  the  island  to  be  brought  about  by  his  and  Campos' 
combined  efforts.  Jovellar  has  chosen  the  latter 
course,  it  appears,  although  there  are  still  rumors 
that  the  affair  is  not  quite  settled  between  him  and 
the  Madrid  Government. 

*-pt  is  reported  that  the  insurgent  chief.  Paneho 
Jhfienez,  at  the  head  of  200  insurgents,  fell  upon  a 
detachment  of  30  Spanish  soldiers,  near  Santi-Splrit- 
ns,  cutting  them  to  pieces. 

"  Heavy  rains  on  this  and  almost  all  other  West 
India  islands  have  favored  the  growing  sugar-cane, 
which  presents  a  very  promising  appearance  every- 
where, but  it  Is  too  esrly  in  the  season  to  predict  an 
abundant  crop  with  surety."

J  The  primary  eleotloB  to  fill  the  vacancy  eaoaed 
1^  the  resignation  of  Henry  6.  Leask  from  the 
,?resideney  of  the  Fifteenth  Assembly  District  Re- 
publican Association  was  held  last  nhcht  at  No.  353 
West  Thhty-flfth-street.  It  was  an  adjourned  meet- 
ing, aneffort  having  been  made  on  the  Thnrsdaypre- 
cedlng  to  elect  a  President,  which  was  a  fallnre. 
Theore  are  two  factions  in  the  district,  whl^ 
irodcr  the  best  of  dreumstanoes,  is  a  turbulent 
and-dlsorderly  one.  Mr.  lieask,  the  retiring  Presi- 
dent has  hitherto  kept  the  peace,  by  the  "simple  ex- 
pedient of  having  a  bigger  band  of  mnscnlar  voters 
at  hia  command  than  the  other  party ;  his  retirement 
under  the  dvil  service  regulations  let  loose  sll  the 
elameiits  of  disorder,  and  the  meeting  last  night,  as 
wall  as  the  former  one,  waa  a  soene  of  noise  and  tnr- 
bnlenee-whioh  only  the  presence  of  a  strong  force  of 
P<^eei]rthe  room  prevented  from  becoming  a  free 
fight  at  a  Tery  early  stage  in  the  proceeding  At 
the  last  meeting  the  antt-Leask  faction 
had  h&redfthe  room,  but.  seeing  that  things 
were  goingagainst  them,  they  abruptly  adjourned  the 
meeting,  and  the  Police  cleared  the  place.  Last  night 
both  fictions  mustered  In  force,  and,  truth  to  say, 
there  seemed  very  little  to  choose  between  them 
either  as  to  their  appearance  or  methods.  Xjong 
before  7  o'clock  there  was  a  great  crowd  in  line  out- 
side the  doors  of  the  hall,  (an /^d  Police-station,)  and 
the  moment  the  doors  were  thrown  open  the  hsU 
was  filled.  At  .one  end  was  the  table,  on  which  the 
ballot-box  was  placed,  and  across  the  room,  about  a 
.foot  in  front  of  tMs,   a    strong   wooden  partition 

[  about  four  feet  high  had  been  fixed.  In  front  of 
this  was  a  line  of  Police,  who  had  hard 
work  to  keep  the  rough  crowd  from  flying  at  each 
ckher's  throats.  The  row  commenced  the  instant  the 
m  eetlng  opened.  In  a  contest  over  the  electio*  of*  a 
Set-Tetiuy  pro  tem.,  the  regular  Se<netary  being  ab- 
sent- This  ended  in  the  election  of  Mr.  Robert  Mil- 
ler, imd  the  antl-Leask  faction  scored  one,  Miller 
beingM>nA  of  their  leaders.  A  vacancy  in  the  Board 
of  Inspectors  had  to  be  filled,  which  was  done  by  the 
votes  of  the  officers  nresent,  and  the  auti-Loask  fac- 
tion soored  another  iu  the  election  of 
John  Collins.  The  meeting  was  now  regularly 
organized,  the  Board  of  Inspectors  being  George 
Herman, '^Villlam  McCoy,  and  John  Collins.  The 
polls  wererthen  declared  opened,  and  from  that  mo- 
ment untBl  past  11  there  was  nothing  but  howling, 
shouting,  •cheering,  and  every  species  of  noise  that 
leather-bonnd  throats  were  capable  of.  Both  sides 
se^^ed  to  be  ready  to  run  in  all  the  men  they  could, 
and  each  challenged  the  votes  of  the  other  the  whole 
evening  through.  Twice  the  Police  charged  through 
the  room  and  somewhat  thinned  the  dense  crowd, 
allowing  a  breath  of  fresh  air  to  come  In,  and  sum- 
Tnari^y  checking  the  beginnings  of  a  fight.  There 
were  two  tickets  in  the  field.  The  Leask  people 
ptr^rposed  for  President  Mr.  Oliver  Davis,  janitor  of 
Judge  Gedney's  Court ;  the  other  faction  proposed 
Mr.UrViUiam  M.  Montgomery,  a  gentleman  connected 
with  the  Empire  Ice  Company.    As  the  voting  pro- 

i  eeoded  It  seemed  that  the  Montgomery  ticket  would 
win.  vw'bile  tbe  Davis  inspectors,  Jcnowing  that  they 
had  a^strong  force  in  resen*e,  were  not  inclinea  to 
hurry  i  the  voting  at  all.  Shortly  before 
10  o'clock  tbe  Davis  men  seemed  to  be  coming  to  the 
front.  At  that  hour  a  dispute  arose  about  closing 
the  polls,  but  It  was  ended  by  Mr.  Canfield,  the  First 
Vice-President,  who  had  acted  throughout  as  a  peace- 
makei*.  and  now  declared  that  the  constitution  miist 
be  observed,  and  in  accordance  therewith,  while  the 
doors«of  the  room  would  be  closed,  the  polls  should 
be  ke]|C  open  until  the  last  voter  present  In  the  room 
should  ^ave  deposited  his  vote.  The  voting  then 
continiied  uutil  10:55,  and  then  the  Davis  Inspectors 
declared  the  polls  cloned,  amid  loud  shouting  and 
cheering  The  next  thing  was  the  counting  of  the 
vote,  and  the  quiet  of  expectancy  reigned  In  the 
room  when  the  officers  sat  down  to  the  table, 
and,  watchine  each  other  like  cats,  com- 
menced to  take  tally.  It  was  found  that,  as  the 
result  of  the  nearly  three  hours'  voting,  just 
74  votes  had  been  cast.  At  least  200  men  htd  been 
around  tberp<ills  all  the  evening.  Of  these  74  votes, 
Davis  had  received  32,  and  Mon^omery  42.  The 
Davis  inspectors  looked  considerably  sui^rised  and 
chagrined  at  this  unexpected  result,  but  there  was 
no  escape  from  It,  and  one  of  these  officers, 
as  Chairman  of  the  board,  had  to  publicly  an- 
nounce the  result,  which  he  did  amid  the  frantic 
cheering  of  the  Montgomery  men.  Then  followed 
an  example  of  that  most  satisfactorv  phase  of  our 
politics,  and  the  very  men  who  for  bours  had  been 

?;laring  at  each  other  and  qndrreling  like  tigers,  all 
ell  to  shaking  hands;  the  outside  crowd  rheered 
the  successful  and  the  beaten  candidate  with  eoual 
heartiness,  and  good  humor  appeared  to  prevail  all 
round.

MEMBERS — AK  ADDRESS  BY  MR.  'WILLIAM 
T.  GRAJF — RESIGXATIOVS  Of  OPPICERS. 

The  Seventeenth  Assembly  District  Repub- 
lican Association  met  last  evening  in  Turn  Hall,  No. 
341     West     Forty-seventh-street.     The     hall     was 
crowded      to      sufl'ocation,      and       some      business 
of      an       Important       nature       wax       transacted. 
Mr.  Joel  "W.  Mason,  President  of  the  association,  oc- 
cupied the  chair.     Mr.   James  W.  Brinck  submitted 
a  document  In  which  he  charged  the  following  mem-  \ 
bers  with   violating  their  pledge  of  membership  In 
having  become  members    of    an  organization  which 
does    not    recognize    the    authority   of     the    regu-j 
lar    association :    Robert  Campbell.  W.  VT.  Culver, 
George  Mann,  and  Robert  \Vhlte.    The  specifications 
s?t  forth  that  at  a  primary  election  held  by  the  so- 1 
called   Independent  Republican  Association   of  the  f 
district  th*  accused  were  duly  elected  as  delegates 
to  the  Central  Committee  ;  that  Robert  Campbell  waa 
duly  elected  Treasurer,  and  that  George  W.  Mann  was 
duly  elected  Inspector  of  Election  of  such  association. ^ 
Mr.   Grant  moved  that  the  charges  be  laid  on  the' 
table,  but  his  motion  was  not  carried.    A  subsequent 
motion  to  refer  them  to  a  committee  of  three  to  be. 
in'Tesligated  prevailed.    Mr.   Brinck  also  submitted 
the  following  with  reference  to  Mr.  George  P.  Brad- 
ford, the  I'residcnt  of  the  *'  Independents  :" 

WhcrtoM,  It  Id  cuTTtrntly  reported  and  pubUnhed  in  the 
newspapers  that  Mr.  George  P.  Bradford,  who  was  re- 
cently propoied  and  elected  to  mnmbershlp  in  thU  a.«so- 
clatlon.  Is  now  President  of  and  co-operating  with  an 
outside  political  orpanitatlon,  which,  by  the  constitution 
of  the  Republican  Party  in  this  City,  dlsquolifle*  him 
from  beeomlnK  a  member  of  any  regular  Republican  as- 
aociatlon  ;  and  ne  harlng  failed  to  siguthe  roU,  therefore, 
belt 

Reaolvfd,  That  the  -vote  taken  by  which  Mr.  Bradford 
was  elected  a  member  of  this  association,  be  reconsidered.  * 

The  preamble  and  resolution  were  adopted,  and  the  ' 
name  of  Mr.  Bradford  was  referred  to  the  special 
Committee  of  Three,  for  them  to  determine  whether 
he  is  entitled  to  membership  under  the  circumstances 
cited  by  Mr.  Briucks.  At  this  juncture,  Mr.  William 
T.  Graff,  in  response  to  an  invitation  of  the  asaoclntion, 
extended  at  a  previous  meeting,  delivered  an  address. 
Sneaking  on  the  subject  of  civil  service  reform, 
which  he  warmly  supported,  be  said,  in  conclusion  :  ■ 
"  WhOe  we  are  compelled  to  admit  the  great  force 
of  all  that  can  be  said  in  favor  of  civil  Ber%-ice  re-  ' 
form,  yet  we  see  In  its  operations  a  great  daijger  to  '■ 
the  Republican  Party.  It  seems  to  be  conceded.. 
that  the  rules  of  civil  service- require  an  entire  with- 
drawal, not  only  from  the  conventions  and  caucuses, 
but  also  from  any  participation  In  the  organ- 
ization of  the  party,  ^ow,  effective  organ- 
ization is  necessary  to  success  in  every : 
party.  This  requires  experienced  workers, 
able  and  willing  to  devote  their  time  to  the  service  of 
the  party.  In  our  district  the  most  efficient  workers 
have  been  the  persons  holding  office.  You  will  all 
agree  with  me  that  in  a  great  measure  we 
owe  a  very  great  portion  of  our  suc- 
cess in  this  district  to  the  zealous  labors  of  those 
members.  Now  we  lose  all  the  benefit,  and  while 
we  may  feel  sure  we  shall  have  their  good 
wishes  and  their  hidivldaal  influence  in  our 
favor,  we  are  still  at  a  disadvantage, 
which,  I  fear,  we  can  hardly  overcome.  It 
would  be  a  melancholy  collapse  of  civil  service 
reform  If  we,  weakened  Dy  the  workings  of  this  new 
system.  sbonJd  fall  in  retaining  the  administration  in 
our  hands,  and  should  find  the  rules  of  the  <dvll 
service  reform  swept  away,  the  old  order 
of  things  restored,  and  we  laughed  at 
for  wearing  the  rope  with  which  to  hang  ourselves. 
Our  hope  must  be,  and  yet  I  confess  I  have  not  much 
faith,  in  bringing  in  others  to  take  the  places  of  those 
we  lose,  in  interesting  those  personally  who  are  now 
only  nomin:^y  members  in  taking  a  more  active  part 
witn  ns  and  sharing  our  labors.  Let  every  citizen 
who  believes  in  tbe  attempt  to  establish  civil  ser- 
vice reform  look  to  it  that  he  gives  us 
his  aid  and  assistance  to  compensate  for  our 
loss."  In  his  remarks  on  the  Southern  policy 
of  President  Hayes,  Mr.  Oraff  held  that  it  could  be 
considered  only  in  the  light  of  a  surrender  of  so 
much  of  the  principles  of  the  Republican  Party  to 
the  lawless  Democracy  of  the  South.  The  policy 
was  not  sustained  by  any  trrinciple  of  right,  justice. 
or  law,  and  he  was  not  abLs  to  accept  the  excuse  of 
enedieney. 

The  bnsinesB  of  the  evening  being  resnmed,  tiie 
following  officers  of  the  association  axul  36  members 
tendered  their  resignations,  with  the  view  of  eom* 
plying  with  the  requirements  of  the  recent  dvil  ser- 
Tiee  order:

A  reiolntion  that  their  resignations  as  officers  of 
the  association  be  accepted  was  adopted  after  some 
discussion.  The  conaideatlon  of  their  resignations 
as  members  of  the  association  was  referred  to  the 
Executive  Committee.  Mr.  Grant  offered  a  resolution 
requesting  the  officers  whose  duty  it  is 
to  appoint  Inspectors  of  Election  for  the  primary  at 
which  the  vacancies  are  to  be  filled,  to  name  them 
from  among  15  names  presented  by  the  proposer  of 
the  resolution,  whose  object  was,  he  said,  to  secure 
a  fair  election,  Mr.  McClay,  in  opposing  the  resolu- 
tion, said  that  its  tenor  was  an  unjust  criticism  of 
the  officers  of  the  association.  The  resolution  was 
lost.  A  resolution  offered  by  Mr-  Slmonson  to  ap- 
point an  early  date  for  the  holding  of  a  special  pri- 
mary was  adopted,  after  which  the  association  ad- 
journed.

kindly  elected  .  him  to  some  office  in

ciation of  the  district,  and  has  'uothiug  to  do 
with  the  so-called  Independents,  and  he  further 
says  he  shall  continue  to  speak  his  mind  in  the  meet- 
ings of  the  regular  association  as  he  has  in  the 
past.  Mr.  George  Mulligan,  of  the  Biehteenth  As-

9  COMPOVND  FRACTURE  OF  THE  SKULL. 
Yesterday  afternoon  about  3  o'clock  Thomas 
Brennan,  aged  21,  of  No.  224  East  Twenty-second- 
street,  abused  Mrs.  Donovan,  an  aged  lady  re.sidlng 
at  No.  332  in  the  aame  street,  and  while  he  was  so 
engaged  William  Donovan,  aged  16.  a  grandson 
of  the  old  lady,  came  in.  Young  Donovan 
ordered  Brennan  to  leave  the  premU^.  Brennan 
refused  to  leave,  and  a  fight  ensued,  during  which  the 
combatants  rolled  down  stairs  inV>  the  street.  The 
struggle  was  continued  on  the  pavement,  and  youmj 
Donovan,  finding  that  ho  waa  being  overpowered, 
pickednp  a  stone  and  struck  Brennan  on  the  bead 
with  it.  Brennau  staggered  off  and  Donovan

TnE  iTETRlC  SYSTEM. 
7b  the  EdUor  of  the  yew-  York  Time*  : 

Your  adtnirable  editorial  of  the  15th  inst  on 
"The  Metric  System"  is  worthy  of  the  careful  at- 
tention of  your  readers.  Beyond  writing,  speaking, 
and  urging  this  matter,  is  It  not  time  that  some  ac- 
tion were  taken  by  the  Government  to  bring  this  sys- 
tem Into  general  use  f  The  metric  system  was  legal- 
ixed  in  this  country  IT  years  ago.  Being  legal, 
would  it  not  be  proper  for  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treastiry  to  adopt  it  in  place  of  the  systems,  or  want 
of  systems, ofyneasuring,  weighing,  and  guaging  now 
used  In  ascertaining  quantities  for  the  collection  of 
duties!  The  present  Is  a  reform  Administration; 
here  Is  a  reform  indeed.  The  adoption  of  the  metric 
system  by  the  Treasury  Department  would  injure 
none,  but  it  would  advertise  and  attract  attention  to 
ItH  beauty  and  utUitv.  Chir  merchants,  quick  to  dis- 
cern Its  worth,  would  soon  apply  It  to  their  busi- 
ness, and  from  them  It  would  spread  among 
the  people;  so  ^hat  in  a  few  years  Con- 
eress  would  be  aHlb  to  pass  laws  establish- 
ing it  to  the  exclusi\p  of  all  other  systems. 
Thus  would  be  resched  a  reform  which  might  some- 
what annoy  those  who  were  educated  more  than  10 
or  15  years  ago,  but  which  would  be  received  with 
delight  by  the  present  generation,  and  earn  the  grat- 
itude snd  kindly  remembrance  of  those  yet  to  come. 
Tho  philosophers, .philanthropists,  and  great  states- 
men of  this  countryin  the  past  havepoiuted  out,  prayed 
for.  and  urged  with  energy  and  enthusiasm  the  adop- 
tion of  the  decimal  system  in  coinage,  weights,  and 
measures ;  but  they  have  passed  away,  lonsring,  yet 
hopeful.  Perhaps  tho  present  able  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  will  give  this  important  subject  the  grave 
consideration  it  so  richly  deserves-  D.  M.  H.

A  LADT  SWIMS  ACROSS  THE  BUD80K. 

Miss  Eliza  £.  Bennett,  aged  18  years,  at  Dex- 
tcr's  Baths,  foot  of  West  Twentieth -street,  North 
River,  yesterday  attempted,  and  fully  succeeded  In 
swimming  from  the  Now -York  shore  to  Hoboken,  the 
start  being  made  at  11:30  A.  M.  The  distance  Is 
about  one  inlle.  Miss  Bennett  vas  dressed  in  orange- 
colored  tights  of  the  finest  silk,  which  fitted  her  like 
a  glove.  At  the  hour  fixed  the  young  lady,  accom- 
panied by  Prof.  Leach,  leaped  from  the  top  of  the 
bath-house,  a  distance  of  20  feet,  and  at  once  struck 
bravely  out  for  the  Jersey  shore.  The  tide  at  the 
time  was  ebbing,  but  she  stood  it  bravely,  and 
after  35  minutes'  hard  struggling  reached  the 
Jersey  coast,  where  she  waa  received  with  loud  and 
prolonged  cheers.  During  tbe  swim  across  the  river 
she  was  accompanied  by  a  number  of  experts  In  a 
smtdl  boat  to  assist  her  In  case  of  accident,  but  their 
services  were  not  called  into  requisition,  as  she 
showed  no  signs  of  fatigue.  Miss  Bennett  swims  a 
fair  straight  stroke,  keepinc  her  chest  well  out  of  the 
water,  this  being  considered  by  her  the  easiest  mode 
of  swimming.  Taking  a  short  rest  after  reaching  the 
Jersey  shore,  she  expressed  a  desire  to  return  to 
New- York,  whereupon  a  beautiful  boat  was  placed  at 
her  disposal  and  she  was  taken  back  to  the  point 
from  which  she  started.

When  the  Twenty-third  Regiment,  National 
Guard  State  of  New-York,  was  ordered  to  proceed 
to  HomellsvlBe  to  suppress  the  strikes,  a  large 
number  of  the  members  failed  to  report  for  duty.  A 
court-martial  of  the  delinquents  was  ordered  to  be 
held  at  the  armory  in  Cle^mon^avenue,  and  Ltent.- 
Col.  Partridge  was  detailed  to  conduct  the  investigs- 
tion.  About  90  summonses  were  issued,  and  the 
investiffation  was  begun  at  the  armory  la.«t  evening. 
Some  30  of  those  ordered  to  appear  and  show  cause 
why  they  should  not  be  dealt  with  according  to 
military  discipline,  came  forward  and  presented 
their  excuses,  dl  of  which  were  con.'sidered  sufBdent. 
and  the  parties  discharged,  except  two.  and  in  their 
cases  decision  was  reserved.  The  investigation  was 
adjourned  until  Tuesday  evening  next. 

LONG  ISLAND. 

The  Board  of  Excise  of  the  town  of  Hemp- 
stead, granted  40  licenses  to  hotel  proprietors  on 
Rockaway  Beach  yesterday.  The  board  have  dedded 
to  grant  ucenses  to  aU  who  anply. 

The  work  of  layinc  pipes  for  the  conveyance  of 
oil  from  the  Devoe  and  Standard  Works,  at  Long 
Island  City,  across  Newtown  Creek,  the  East  River, 
aud  underground  through  New- York  to  the  North 
River,  is  about  completed.  Storage  tanks  will  be 
built  at  Sixty -fifth -street.  New-York,  and  all  the  sh*p- 
ping  will  be  done  from  that  point,  instead  of  the 
works. 

Yesterday  was  saltrwater  dayforliong  Island- 
ers, and  large  numbers  of  the  reddents  on  both  the 
north  and  south  ^des  of  the  island,  visited  Fire 
Island  and  Rockaway  Beach.  Sixteen  ear-loads  of  ex- 
cuntionists  from  Port  Jefferson,  Huntington,  and. 
Northport.  and  the  same  number  from  Patchc^^e 
and  other  stations  on  the  Soutliem  Railroad  pa^ed 
the  day  at  Rockaway. 

Last  evening,  as  the  train  on  the  Long  Island 
Railroad  due  at  Long  Island  City  at  4:18  was  near- 
ing  Blissville,  after  rounding  the  sharp  curve  this 
side  of  the  bridge  over  Metropolitan-avenue,  the 
engineer  discovered  an  obstruction  on  the  track. 
He  whistled  down  brakes,  and  the  train  was  stopped 
just  before  reaching  it,  when  investigation  showed  it 
to  be  a  lanre  cable-chain  stretched  across  the  track, 
and  secured  at  each  end  The  obstruction  was  so 
securely  fixed  that  it  required  several  minutes*  time 
to  remove  it.  The  chain  is  now  at  the  company's 
office.  It  is  yet  uncertain  whether  the  pob  was  the 
work  of  malice,  or  the  thoughtless  mischief  of  some 
boys,  but  sn  investigation  is  to  be  made.

London,  Ang.  23. — ^The  aecoants  of  the 
batUe  before  Esld-Sjoma  are  rery  fr»g- 
Bieiitary  and  oonSictijig.  The  nnmber  en- 
gaged do  not  appear  to  have  been 
mui  great,  althoogh  the  battle  was 
EtnbborDly  contested.  The  Staniard's  Vienna 
■pedal  says  the  Russians  nnmbered  7,000  and 
the  Turks  14.000.  According  to  the  Bussian 
official  aceoant,  the  Turks  took  the  offensive 
in  great  force  on  Aug.  22,  and  drove  back  two 
Russian  battalions  from  Jaslac  The  Russians 
subsequently  retook  Jaslac-  Skirmishing  contin- 
ued throughout  the  night.  Theneztday,  the  23d, 
the  Turks  made  three  attacks  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Jasler,  but  were  thrice  brilliantly  re- 
pulsed. A  renewal  of  the  attack  is  expected. 
The  StiiJidarda  dispatch,  dated  Eski-Djuma, 
Thursday  night,  reports  that  heavy  fighting 
bas  been  goinz  on  for  the  last  36  hours 
between  the  Turkish  advanced  posts  and 
the  Russians,  who  are  attacking  in  force 
•loog;  the  line  from  Jaslar  to  Popkoi.  The 
Tujis  were  at  first  driven  in,  but  were  rein- 
forced, and  retook  their  original  positions, 
which  they  hold  at  this  moment. 

A  Constantinople  dispatch  contains  the  fol- 
lowing :  '•  Suleiman  Pasha  telegraphs  under 
date  of  Aug.  21  that  three  of  his  brigades 
aaennded  the  heights  of  the  Schfpka 
Pan,  in  spite  of  a  shower  of  Russian  projectiles, 
^rove  back  a  Russian  outpost  and  advanced 
to  within  a  100  yards  of  the  enemy's  in- 
trenchments.  There  was  desperate  fighting 
for  14  hours,  at  the  end  of  which,  how* 
ever,  although  the  Turks  retained  the  ground 
they  conquered,  the  enemy  still  held  their  for- 
tified positions,  which  were  defended  by  14 
cannon  and  a  large  force."  The  telegram  con- 
cludes: •'To-morrow  we  shall  bring  up  our 
siege  guns  and  renew  the  struggle.  We  bope 
to  be  successful." 

Detailed  buBetins  from  the  Russian  General 
commanding  the  Schipka  Pass  ehow  that 
on  Aug.  22  the  Turks  erected  two  bat- 
teries of  long-range  artillery,  and  made 
trenches  through  which  they  approached  the 
Ru.<^siAn  positions.  The  Russian  losses  on  Aug. 
21  was  200.  and  on  the  22d  much  less.  The 
latest  bulletin  recounts  the  operations  of 
Thursdny  It  says :  ''Tne  Turkish  fire  com- 
menced at  4:.'}0  in  the  morning,  and  lasted  with 
great  violence  until  noon.  Meanwhile  the  Turks 
made  several  desperate  assaults,  but  were 
repulsed.  Our  heroes  did  not  yield  a  foot.  At 
noon  the  firing  ;  slackened,  and  reserves  under 
Badetsky  began  to  arrive.  Our  losses  have 
been  great." 

The  Daily  yeurs  correspondent  at  the  Bus- . 
sian  head-quarters  ezpUdns  the  mystification 
which  has  arisen  concerning  the  reported  cap- 
toie  of  the  Bankoi  Pass  by  the  Turks.  He 
says :  "  On  the  16th  Inst,  a  column 
of  Suleiman  Pasha's  force  attempted  stren. 
consly  to  force  the  pass.  It  has  been  reported 
that  they  were  successful  But  though  the 
column  did  indeed  force  its  way  into  the  defile, 
it  was  there  ao  roughly  handled  by  the  Russian 
artillery  and  by  the  regiment  holding  the  pass, 
that  it  was  cotnpellcd  to  retire. 

The  Tima'  Vienna  correspondent  remarks 
relative  to  the  attack  of  the  Schipka  Pass, 
that  all  along  the  main  range  of  the 
Balkans,  especially  along  the  Tondja 
valley,  the  face  of  the  mountains 
is  precipitous  rock,  through  which  a  road  leads 
up  in  steep  curves.  However  much 
the  bulk  of  Suleiman  Pasha's  forces  may 
have  been  inured  to  mountain  warfare,  and 
however  heroie  the  efforts  made  within 
the  last  two  days  ma^  have  been,  it  will  be 
little  short  of  a  miracle  if  they  should  ultimately 
succeed  in  carrying  the  pass. 

A  dispatch  dated  Adrianople  says  Suleiman 
Pasha  has  been  reinforced  hj  two  divisions 
under  P^f^m  Pasha  from  Philippopolis.

LoNDOJf,  Ad^.  25. — The  Timetf  Therapia 
dispatch  states  that  Mr.  Paweett,  who  was  sent 
1^  Mr.  Layard,  the  British  Minister,  to  report 
upon  the  condition  of  the  fugitives 
aotith  of  the  Balkans,  and  to  distribute 
leliaf,  writes :  "  Even  all  that  has  been 
vritteo  gives  no  adequate  idea  of  the  extent  of 
tbe  misery  and  destdtntion  among  the  refugeea 
or  the  barbarities  which  have  been  perpe- 
trsted  on  both  sides.  The  British  ReUef 
Committee  at  Adrianople,  after  a  careful 
loveetigatioD,  have  ascertained  that  10,150  fu- 
ntive  women  and  children  need  relief  at  once. 
bt  these  1,700  are  Jews  and  8,000  Turks." 

The  Turkish  Ideation  in  this  City  famishes 
Qie  following  to  the  Associated  Press  : 

The  TniMsh  Ministerof  Foreign  Affairs  has  sent 
the  following  circTLlar»-3to  the  diplomatic  agents  of 
the  Porte  abroad:  "A  t<legr*m  from  Saleiman 
Faoba  deseribea  as  follows  the  conduct  of  the  Bossian 
Aisiv  during  the  11  days  itoccnpied  Eski-Saghia. 
Tba  first  act  of  tne  Rassuuia  on  entering  tne  town 
was  to  disarm  the  MussuUnan  population.  They 
■mplojed  the  Mokdars  of  the  place,  who.  deceived 
aa  to  the  real  object  of  their  mission,  were  ordered 
to  fetch  tne  Mussulmans  oat  of  their 
hoosas.  and  aa  soon  aa  the  latter  appeared 
they  were  massacred.  Eleven  hondred  HnBsmmana 
were  thus  pat  to  death.  A  telegram  from  the 
1f.4,p«v»nT  of  Lovatz  reports  that  when 
the  Basstans  entered  that  town  13  wom- 
en and  children,  fleeing  from  the  invaders, 
were  kaied  by  the  fire  of  the  enemy's  artillery- 
Otbers  of  these  unfortunate  prisoners,  m 
order  to  eaeape  outrage  or  death,  had 
to  abandon  everything  they  had.  even  their 
ehildien-  Every  Miisaalman  house  ,in  Lovatz  was 
pQlsfied  by  the  Cossacks  and  Bulgarians-  .Uter  the 
imaptnre  of  the  town  by  the  Imperial  Army  the 
BoBsiaas  carried  devastation  and  carnage  into  the 
ixagbboring  districts." 

'TbB  Bussians  and  Bolgszians  drove  out  all  the 
Ifoasnlixian  iahj»bitants  of  the  village  of  Heiste, 
and  homed  all  the  men  and  some  of  the 
women.  Their  bodies  were  removed  by 
the  Bulgarians.  Only  o^  woman  suc- 
5«eded  in  escaping.  Seventy  Mnssolmans  and 
Qm  Imaam  of  Ynidem  were  shut  up  by  the  Bulga- 
•ians  in  a  bam,  to  which  the  latter  in  conjnnction 
irith  the  Coasacka  set  fire.  Forty-four  other  Mussul- 
Sians  of  the  same  villas  were  massacred,  and  all 
She  Mussulman  women  outraged.  Eight  young  girls 
who  resisted  were  MUed.  and  two  others  were  burned 
iflth  the  men.  The  greater  part  of  the  other  women, 
wiOx  their  children,  were  taken  outside  the  village, 
where  one  after  another,  with  their  chil- 
dzen  at  their  aide,  they  were  slansh- 
tcred.  Twenty  women  and  children  who 
esaiped  the  massacre,  were  rescued  bv  the  im. 
paiial  Ottoman  troojn.  The  English  militarv  attachi 
^Dself  witnessed  all  these  horrors.  Tbe  Russians, 
on  aotering  these  parts,  disarmed  all  the 
SCoasnh&aas  of  ESki  -  Saghja.  Kazanlik,  and 
tbe  neli^boriiig  villages,  and  distributed  the  arms 
aeiaed  among^he  Bnlgaziana-  The  latter  then  drove 
^m  400  Musralmans  from  the  Mughlis,  In  the  Dis- 
trict of  ^-""i"'  to  the  bank  of  the  River  Tundia, 
and  there  nuusaised  them.  At  EsU-Saghra  and  Its 
BeUibothood  the  Bulgarians  continue  to  massacre 
1^  Mussulman  population." 

After  a  light  with  the  enemy,  Suleiman  Pasha,  on 
rnnsflsT  entered  Eski  Saghra.  Several  cannon  fell 
gxto  <mr  hands.  The  Russians  met  with  considerable 
Zam.  The  atrocities  committed  by  the  Cossacks 
tai  BulgBrians  still  continue.  Women  and  children 
whohadsonght  refuge  in  Khydir-Keni  were  mas- 
weied.  Other  families,  shut  un  in  a  granery,  were 
leBvered  by  onr  troops,  among  them  several  women 
■od  children  who  were  wouniled.  The  Bulgftriana 
pat  to  Are  and  the  sword  the  Mussulman  village  of 
Sofedii,  and  several  others,  after  having  earned  off 
-ilie  womas  and  girls,  whom  they  outraged,  killed, 
"Za  mutilated  hdSribly.  One  woman  and  her  tiro

Ix)Nl>ON,  Aug.   25.— The  Tiimal  Athens 

Siapatah  denies  tlie  report*  of  inaarrectlons  in 

Xhmmtj  Md  Cr»te,  and  says  the  Turks  in  the 

'  gaaaoC  Tbe^alypozvowly  exagaerated  a  mere 


riot  in  order  to  obtaia  aa  exense  for  proclaim- 
ing a  state  of  sisgs. 

The  SUmSar^t  'Vienna  correspondent  tele- 
graphs :  "  A  rumor  prevails  that  at  Warsaw  the 
secret  National  Government  is  at  work-  once 
more.  The  story  is  not  yet  confirmed,  but  it  is 
known  that  the  aathorities  have  forbidden  the 
sale  of  arms,  unless  by  special  permission  in 
each  case." 

A  Moscow  correspondent  of  a  London  daily 
writes,  describing  the  effects  of  the  war  in  Rus- 
sia aa  follows:  "The  peasants  are  being 
called  off  to  join  the  Imperial  Army  from 
all  directions,  'n^herever  one  goes,  families 
are  monming  because  either  father  or  "brother 
are  under  orders  to  start  within,  perchance, 
only  a  few  hours.  Families  are  broken  up  on 
all  sides,  and  wives  are  selling  the 
household  furniture.  The  streets  of 
Moscow  are  thronged  in  many  places 
with  household  goods.  The  price  of  provisions 
is  rising  proportionately.  .Ajnong  the  upper 
classes  homes  are  in  the  same  state  of  change. 
Those  who  have  retired  from  the 
.Army  or  Navy  are,  in  many  cases, 
being  recalled.  All  will,  it  is  pre- 
sumed, be  summoned  in  the  course  of  time. 
While  I  write  a  general  call  is  being  made  for 
all  to  serve  in  the  Militia,  and  notices  to  this 
effect  have  been  served  on  all  those  residing  in 
No.  1  of  the  six  divisions  of  Moscow.  Honse  to 
house  visitation  is  also  going  on  relative  to  the 
number  of  men-servants  and  horses  kept  by  every 
householder,  a  large  quota  of  which  must  now  be 
parted  with  for  public  service.  Substitutes  on  the 
part  of  the  former  are  not  accepted.  Funds  are 
rolling  in  for  the  sick  and  wounded  on  all  sides, 
tbe  peasants  even  urging  the  acceptance  of 
their  mite. 

A  correspondent  at  the  Montenegrin  head- 
quarters telegraphs  the  following :  "  No 
steps  have  been  taken  to  follow  up 
the  recent  successes  against  the  out- 
works of  Nicsics.  The  artillery 
fire  is  quite  suspended  and  tbe  musketry  fire 
very  slight.  I  cannot  believe  that  Nicsics  is  in 
the  slightest  danger  from  any  military  opera- 
tion. 

A  Bucharest  dispatch  says:  "  On  account  of 
the  nnmerotis  accidents  on'the  overworked  Rou- 
manian railways,  an  agreement  has  been  made 
by  which  the  railways  will  pay  4.000  francs  for 
every  soldier  hereafter  killed  and  12,000  francs 
for  every  ofScer  killed." 

Reutefs  Bucharest  dispatch  states  that  the 
population  of  Giurgevo  have  been  ordered  to 
leave  the  town  because  of  the  cannonade  ^hich 
is  progressing  between  Rnstchuk  and  the  Rus- 
sian batteries  on  the  norther  bank  of  the  Dan- 
ube. 

Several  special  dispatches  retnark  the  hostile 
tone  of  the  German  semi-official  press  toward 
Tturkey.  The  Turkish  Embassy  at  Berlin  hav- 
ing, through  a  Berlin  telegraphic  agency,  con- 
tradicted the  repoit  that  the  perpetrators  of  the 
Salouica  massacre  have  been  released,  the 
Slinisterial  Nord  DeuUche  expressly  begs  to 
observe  that  the  statements  put  forward  by  the 
Turkish  foreign  department  are  notoriously 
untrustworthy. 

A  telegram  to  the  Daily  JVVtes,  dated  Vienna, 
Friday  night,  says  the  Servian  plan  of  action  is 
settled,  at  least  on  paper.  Gen.  Horvatovich 
is  to  take  chief  command  of  four  corps.  Pro- 
vision is  made  for  the  mobilization  of  68  bat- 
talions.

BucHABEST,  Saturday.  Aug.  4, 1877. 
I  have  been  visiting  the  hospitals,  where 
every  facility  for  inspection  was  procured  for 
me  through  the  courtesy  of  one  of  the  gentle- 
men of  the  amateur  "  Red  Cross  Knights,"  by 
whom  I  was  accompanied  on  my  rounds.     They 
are  well  enough  in  their  way,  although  inferior 
to  those  we  had  in  America.     StiU.  according  to 
their   lights,    every  comfort  is  given    to   the 
patients,  except  fresh  air.    .All  the  Continentals 
have  peculiar  ideas  on  the  snbject  of  ventila- 
tion, and  a  holy  dread  of  what  they    call  a 
eourajit  ffair ;  consequently  tbe  atmosphere  is 
stifling  and  not  nice  smelling,  and  if  they  es- 
cape the  hospital  gangrene,  it  will  be  more  by 
good  luck    than   through    good    management. 
There  is  one  very  large  establishment  at  Ko- 
trocheni,  about  150  yards  on  the  other  side  of 
the  road  from  the  Prince's    Summer   palace. 
Formerly  it  was  an  artillery  barracks,  and  is  a 
long  three-storied  stone  edifice,   standing  on  a 
hill,  and  well  adapted  for  its  present  uses  if  tbe 
windows  were  occasionally  opened.    Spacious 
as  it  is,  however,  and  capable  of  accommodating 
1,000  soldiers,  it  is  insufScient  for  the  needs 
of     the     moment,     so     that    a    number    of 
frame  builings  have  been  constructed  in  the 
immediate  vicinity.    Here  are  brought  all  the 
wounded  who  are  judged  to  be  incapable  of 
supporting   the   fatigues  of  a  longer  journey, 
but  who  are  supposed  to  be  curable.    Strange 
to  say,  however,  the¥e  is  a  "  condemned  ward," 
and  it  seems  rather  singular  that  the  field  Sur- 
geons should  tiave  inflicted  the  additional  suf- 
fering of  two  or  three  days'  jolting  in  spring- 
less  bulloek-carts  tmder  a  broiling  sun  on  poor 
fellows  whose  recovery  is  pronounced  to  be  im- 
possible as  soon  as  their  wotmds  are  examined 
here.    Thanks  to  the  efforts  of  the  civilian  am- 
biilance  committees  of  Moscow  and  St.  Peters- 
burg, everything  is  conducted  in  a  most  orderiy 
and  efficient  manner  at  Eotrocheni,  as  at  all 
the  hospitals  in  rear  of  the  line  of  operations  ; 
but,  from  all  that  I  have  seen  and  heard  at  the 
immediate  front,  in  the  surgical  as  well  as  in 
every  other  administrative  department,  there  is 
nothing  but  confusion  and  want  of  organiza- 
tion.   But  here  no  fault  can  be  found  except  in 
the  matter  of  non-ventilatioji,  which,  after  all 
may  be  the  atmospheric  condition  best  suited 
to  the  constitution  of  the  Russian  soldier,  who 
is  used  to  breathe  the  stifling  air  of  his  bar- 
rack-room heated  to  a  temperature  which  would 
smother  one  of  our  people,  and  to  wear  a  thick 
overcoat  dtiring  the  dog-days.    The  beds  and 
linen  are  clean,  the  rooms  tidy  and  weU  swept, 
the   nurses  attentive   and    kind.      We    must 
say    a    word       in       praise     of     these     min- 
istering      aneels,       some       of     them       very 
pretty,     nearly     all     young    and     sprightly, 
in  their  neat  brown  serge  dresses,  long  white 
aprons,  embroidered  on  the  breast  with  the  red 
cross,  and  snowy  handkerchiefs  pinned  tasteful- 
ly over  their  heads,  as  they  glide  about  noiseless- 
ly among  the  sufferers,  sometimes  administering 
medicines,  elsewhere  showing  pictures — a  favor- 
ite amusement  to  these  half  stages — orreading 
some  book  to  the  more  intelligent,  or  pouring 
out  the  loved  national  beverage,  tea,  for  which 
several  immense  samovurs  stand  always  filled  In 
every  room.    Their  bright  cheerful  faces  have 
soothed  many  a  poor  fellow's  dying  moments, 
and  their  coming  is  always  welcomed  with.,  a 
smile  of  pleasure,  eveii  when  approaching  diBo- 
lufcion  has  taken  away  the  power  of  expresAng 
gratitude  in  words.    A  few  Chaplains,  dishev- 
elled looking  Popes  in  long  black  gowns,  and 
with  tall  sktill-eaps  crowning  their  tangled  hair 
and  ragged  beards,  were  there  as  if  for  form's 
sake,  but  they  were  not   a  successful  feature, 
and  their  ghostly  ministry  was  not,  apparency, 
so  gratefully  appreciated  as  the  presence  of  the 
■'  little  sisters,    as  the  soldiers  cajled  the  nurses. 
The  Russian  is  devotedly  attached  to  his  fadth. 
and  will  die  for  it  with  all  the  fanatical  bigotry 
of  the  Moslef,  but  he  has  not  a  very  hi^  ven- 
eration for  his  clergy,   whose  shorteommgs  he 
blows  by  the  esperienee  of  his  daily  life,  and 
although  ha  would.  lesant  any  wai^  of  respect 


his  spiritual  masters,  he  feels  no  particular 
comfort  in  their  societv,  and  would  be 
quite  as  well  pleased  if  they  kept  away  alto- 
gether. 

There  were,  perhaps,  a  dozen  hopeless  cases 
in  the  "  condemned'' ward,  but  neither  here  no# 
elsewhere  did  I  see  any  of  that  ghastly  mangling 
which  one  still  remembers  in  our  war.  Nearly 
all  were  gtinshot  wounds,  a  circumstance  the 
more  extraordinary  from  the  fact  that  as  all  the 
Turkish  fighting  has  been  on  the  defensive,  the 
principal  Russian  losses  were  occasioned  by  the 
artillery.  According  to  my  cicerone  none  of  the 
apparently  serious  cases  were  brought  further 
than  Sistova,  or  at  the  most  Simnitza  and 
Tumu-Magurelli— there  were  4,000  at  the 
former  place  before  the  battle  of  the  30th 
July  as  added  that  few  who  could  not  crawl 
off  the  field  ever  got  away,  as  the  Turks  always 
slaughtered  whoever  fell  into  their  hands,  I 
know  that  this  was  the  case  at  Plevna,  where 
the  fire  was  so  hot  that  no  assistance  could  be 
given  to  the  wounded,  particularly  as  the  ene- 
my, in  spite  of  his  adhesion  to  tbe  Geneva  Con- 
vention, shot  down  or  cut  the  throats  of  all  the 
fatigue  parties  who  ventured  forward  with 
stretchers.  By  the  way,  let  me  mention  that 
the  commonly  received  opinion  is  that  all  the 
Russian  officers  go  into  battle  with  a  provision 
of  poison  on  their  persons,  in'  order  to  escape 
by  Instant  death  from  the  horrors  known  to  be 
in  store  for  them  should  they  fall  alive  into  the 
hands  of  their  cruel  enemy.  Generally,  the 
patients  appear  to  bear  their  sufferings  with 
great  fortitude ;  they  jrarely  comnlained, 
listened  respectfully  to  what  was  said  to 
them,  and  occasionally  replied  to  a  question  ; 
but  the  pendent  lip  and  dull  stare  at  vacancy 
seemed  more  like  the  insensibili^  to  pain  re- 
marked among  certain  of  |tbe  lower  animals 
than  the  resignation  of  beings  more  advanced 
in  the  order  of  creation.  But  there  were  a  few 
'exceptions,  some  quite  jolly  fellows  swearing 
outrageously  at  one  moment  and  ready  to  laugh 
and  jest  at  the  next,  and  not  a  bit  cast  down  by 
their  ilMuck.  One  of  them,  who  had  been  in 
the  attack  of  Nikopolis,  was  delighted  to  be  able  j 
to  tell  his  experiences  and  of  his  share  in  the  I 
action.  He  has  a  bullet  in  the  chest  and  an. 
other  in  the  left  arm.  and  an  ugly  cut  over  tbe 
head ;  for  he  was  in  the  forlorn  hope  which 
went  into  the  demilune  and  turned"  the  for- 
tunes of  the  day,  although  the  rearmost  files 
of  the  column  had  to  clamber  over  the  bodies  of 
their  fallen  comrades  before  they  could  come  to 
blows  with  the  Osmanli.  It  was  a  sort  of  free 
fight  for  several  minutes,  not  nulike  the  Strug- 

fie  between  the  backwoodsman  and  the  hear. 
he  stormers  would  drive  back  the  garrison, 
and  then  these  would  come  again  and  hold  the 
ground  for  a  few  moments,  just  long  enough  to 
butcher  the  wounded  and  strip  their  bodies. 
From  what  I  saw  myself  in  1854,  the  "Turks  are 
uncommonly  handr  and  expeditious  in  this 
last  operation.  As  ttey  do  for  all  Asiatics,  boots 
possess  a  wonderful  attraction  for  the  Turks, 
and  as  tbe  Rus.sians  are  very  well  shod,  ami  the 
Moslem  along  this  lino  are  reduced  to  the  opanka 
sandal,  it  is  not  surprising:  that  they  were  very 
busy  about  their  enemies'  leg-s-  But  I  will  let 
Sergt.  .Alexander  Roch  tcU  his  own  story,  as  it 
was  translated  to  me. 

"Tbe  horse  battery  scrambledin.  and  we  were 
ordered  to  support  it,  but  the  Turks  were  firing 
like  devils  from  over  the  parapet  on  our  tlank. 
and  a  good  many  of  us  tumbled  into,  the  ditch  and 
never  got  out  again.  'W'e  got  over  at  last-  It 
seemed  a  long  while,  though,  for  the  gims  h.id 
been  unlimbered.  and  after  the  first  dischiu'ge 
the  people  in  the  fort  ceased  firing  for  a  minute, 
and  we  rushed  in,  but  they  were  back  again  ver>- 
soon,  and  charged  us,  and  as  we  were  so  close 
together,  we  could  onlv  use  our  bayonets  and  the 
butts  of  our  muskets,  for,  except  from  the  olB- 
cers'  revolvers,  I  don't  think  a  shot  was  flred- 
1  had  been  hit  here,  [ho  pointed  to  his  brea.st.1 
I  suppose,  as  we  were  coming  up-  I  didn't  feel 
it  then,  and  I  was  using  my  bayonet  as  well  as  I 
knew  how  when  I  felt  a  sharp  pain  through  mv 
arm,  and  dropped  my  gun,  and  then  1  suppo.se  1 
got  this  sting  over  the  head,  for  I  knew  nothing 
more  until  I  was  hauled  out  from  under  a  heap 
of  dead  men.  My  comrade.  Selenko,  had  fallen 
across  me,  and  two  or  three  of  our  fellows  and 
as  many  "rurks  above  him,  and  I  suppose  that 
this  saved  my  threat,  for  all  the  others  were 
like  sheep  in  a  'outcher's  shop-  But  one  of  my 
legs  stuck  out  from  beneath  the  pile,  and  when 
they  took  mo  to  th**  hospital  one  of  my  boots 
was  gone-"  I  really  think  that  the  poor  man  fult 
the  loss  of  his  boot  even  more  than  his  three 
wounds. 

In  one  of  the  annexes,  a  mere  -shed  open  to 
the  air  and  the  sunshine,  lies  a  group  of  the 
slightly  wounded.  Their  beds  are  clean  and 
well  kept.  A  young  nurse,  with  a  pure  white 
and  red  face,  and  a  little  rebellions  cluster  of 
dark  curls  escaping  from  beneath  her  cap,  is 
tryinjr  to  explain  something  to  the  soldiers,  who 
are  leaning  upon  their  elbows,  the  better  to 
listen  to  her  words.  A  pile  of  numbers  of  the 
Illustration  Russe,  is  on  one  of  the  tables,  for  the 
soldier  much  loves  the  pictures  repre-senting 
scenes  of  the  war  in  which  he  is  an  actor-  "You'll 
all  be  there,"  said  the  Sister,  "and  in  the  English 
papers  too;  and  that  gentleman,"  pointing,  as  she 
spoke,  to  Villiers,  of  the  London  GraphiCj  "  will 
•^t  the  world  know  what  heroes  are  the  men  of 
l^he  Minsk  and  Volhynia  Regiments-  You'll  all 
be  in,  I  tell  you,  and  he  is  here  to  take  your  por- 
traits-" 

"  Show  us  what  we  look  like,"  said  one  of 
them-  "  Ah  !  that's  nice;  I  will  send  a  copy  to 
my  village,  your  Honor.  But,"  and  then  he  re- 
flected a  moment,  "  you  see,  my  name  is  Vassi- 
lieff.  and  I  belong  to  the  third  company  of  Vol- 
hynia.  and  the  Czar  gave  me  the  Cross  of  St. 
George  for  Nikopolis,  where  1  ran  a  Turk 
through  the  body  and  received  this  sabre  cut 
over  the  head  just  as  he  was  firing  off  a  can- 
non which  would  have  destroyed  the  supports. 
I  should  like  to  be  painted  in  that  way,  with  the 
cross  of  honor  unon  my  breast,  just  as  our 
Father  Alexander  gave  it  to  me." 

The  nurse  burst  into  a  merry  laueh.  "But." 
she  said,  "you  were  decorated  after  you  came 
here.  You  did  not  have  the  cross  when  you 
were  fighting."  "Oh!  thatmakesnodifference," 
replied  the  soldier.  "  Wont  your  honor  oblige 
me  by  putting  it  on  ?  The  great  Czar  himse'tf 
gave  it  to  me,  and  my  picture  must  have  it  too-" 
The  artist  made  the  promise,  and  the  poor  fel- 
low was  delighted,  and  what  more  could  bo 
asked!  Space,  and  perhaps  my  reader's  pa- 
rience,  is  exhausted,  so  I  must  stop,  much  to 
my  regret,  for  there  were  several  other  little 
anecdotes  to  relate,  for  which,  it  may  be,  I  will 
claim  indulgence  on  another  occasion.

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  24. — The  wide 
discrepancy  between  Gen.  Tom  Swing's  Oolum 
bus  speech,  as  it  was  actually  delivered,  and  the 
published  reports  made  from  copies  distributed 
in  advance,  occasion  some  comment  to-day.  In 
his  real  address  Gen.  Ewing  talked  inflation  and 
repudiation,  pure  and  rimple.  Indeed,  tbe  only 
sentiment  that  evoked  hearty  applause  from  the 
crowd  was  the  one  that  if  the  bondholders  did 
not  cease  to  oppress,  we  would  have  repudiation. 
It  is  noticeable  that  the  Democratic  speakers 
have  adopted  a  verv  persuasive  tone  toward 
the  working  men.  It  was  a  marked  fea- 
ture  of  the  Pendleton  and  Ewing  meet- 
ing. Senator  Thurman,  in  an  interview 
published  to-day  said  that  he  should  do  his 
share  of  work  in  the  campaign  by  and  bv.  He 
seems  to  acquiesce  with  cheerfulness  in  the  idea 
of  giving  an  inflation  tone  to  the  Democratic 
campaign  at  the  start,  and  reserving  tbe  sound 
money  men  of  the  party  for  late  speeehes.  He 
is  much  troubled  at  the  tendency  to  communism 
in  the  Republican  platform.

DOZA'S  CASE. 

Frwt  our  Sfptctat  OomtpandaU, 
WASHrsoTON,  Monday,  Aug.  20,  1877.  ^ 
When   the    legally    elected    Eeprublioan 
State  oflcers   of  South  Carolina  relinquished 
their  positions  in    April  last,  it  was  with  the 
general  imderstanding  that   they    should  not 
meet  with  any  further  persecution    from  the 
shot-gun    Democracy ;    that    they    should  be 
allowed  to  continue  their  residence  in  Coltmibla 
or  in  any  other  part  of  the  Commonwealth,  and 
thatnoneof  their  rights  and  privileges  as  citi- 
zens should  be  interfered  with    in    any  way- 
■When  they  finally  delivered  over  their  offices 
on  May  1  there  was  a  distinct  verbal    under- 
standing with  Oen.  Wade  Hampton  and  several 
of  his  prominent  followers  and  supporters  to  the 
same  effect.    The    offices  were  delivered  over 
to  the  Democrats,  after  a  most  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  documents  in  them  and  a  most  ex- 
haustive research  among  the  private  papers  of 
the  outgoing  office-holders.  In  the  case  of  State 
Treasurer  Cardoza,  for  instance,  21  days  were 
consumed  in  delivering  over  the  office.      Re- 
ceipts were  given  to  him  for  everything  deliv- 
ered, and  the  Democratic  experts  who,  during  the 
time  named,  a.ssumed  charge  of  his  department, 
and  bad  every  opportunity  to  examine  his  ac- 
coimts,  stated  very  freely  that  they  could  find 
nothing  irregular  in   them.    Notwithstanding 
the  pledges  made  by  Hampton  and  Company, 
however,  and  notwithstanding  the  testimony  of 
the  experts,  who  aided  in  delivering  the  office 
from  Republican  into  Democratic  hand-s,   the 
■White  League  Assembly,  toward  the  close  of  its 
session,  appointed  a  committee  to  investigate 
certain  alleged  irregularities  and  discrepancies 
in   the   accoimts   of   individual    Republicans- 
There  was  nothing  discovered    against  them, 
however,    yet,    at   the    close    of    the    session, 
the    committee    was    maile    a    joint    one  and 
the     scope     of    the     investigation     extended 
so    as    to     cover     the     conduct     of    all    Re- 
publican    office-holders     during     the     entire 
period  of  Republican  rule  in  South  Carolina- 
This  joint  committee  was  composed  exclusively 
of  the  bitterest  White  League  partisans  in  the 
State  and  of  one  renegade  Republican  Senator, 
and  from  its  composition  It  at  once  became  evi- 
dent to  all  those  conversant  with  the  politics  of 
South  Carolina  that  it  was  the  deliberate  pur- 
pose of  the  dominant  party  to  destroy  the  char- 
acter and  infiuence  of  all  the  leading  Republi- 
cans in  the  State,  and  to  even   more  effectually 
break    up    the   Republican    organization  than 
had  been  done  by  the  shot-gun  leaders  in  the 
last  campaign.    It  became  evident,  too,  that  this 
blackening  of  the  character  of  Republirjins  was 
to  proceed  without  regard  to  the  official  acta  of 
the  parties,  but  with  a  sole  reference  to  their 
standing,  and  the  influeuce  which  they  exerted 
in  the  political  organization  to  which   they  be- 
longed.   That  this  was  the  purpose  for  which 
the  committee  was  organized  is  seen  by  the 
statement  of  the  loading  Democratic  papers  of 
the  State.    On  July  28  the  News  and  Courier  of 
Charleston  said  that  all  the  leading  Republicans 
of  South  Carolina  must  choose  between  two  al- 
tomatives,    'that     they     must     either    leave 
the     State    or     go     into     the     penitentiary. 
In  its  issue  of  -\ng.  4  this  same  White  Lo:kgue 
organ    said,  in  substance,  that  the  Democrats 
did  not  desire  to  bnrden  the  penitentiary  with 
the  Republican  leaders,  but  that  they  proposed 
to  compel  them  to  leave  the  State.      It  was  fur- 
ther intimated  that  they  would  be  deprived  of 
any  property  which  they  possessed,  and   that 
they  would  be  obliged  to  go  forth  as  beggars   to 
seek  homes  elsewhere.      The  committee,  consti- 
tuted and  organized  for  the  purpose  intimated, 
selected  as  Its  first  victim  L.  Cass  Carpenter, 
Collector  of  Internal  Revenue,  who  had  been  for 
several  years  tbe  editor  of  the  only  Republican 
daily  in  tbe  State,  who,  in  that  capacity,  had  been 
a  bitter  foe  to  Hampton  and  Company,  and  who 
had  done  good  service  to  the  Republican  cause. 
In   past    years    many    charges    were     brought 
against  Mr.   Carpenter,  and  some  of  them,  it 
must  be  admitted,  had  the  appearance  of  being 
just   ones.      The   accusations  which  are  now 
brought  against   him,    however,    were    never 
heard  of  until  made  by  the  present  committee. 
They  are  in  substance  that  he  altered  certain 
accounts  for  printing,   thereby,  unlawfully  re- 
ceiving a  large  stun  of  money  from  the  State. 
Carpenter  denies  the  charge.    As  I  have  already 
stated,  bis  was  the  first  case,  and  it  is  a  some- 
what  significant   fact   that   the  Grand  Jury, 
which  has  met  since  his  arrest  on  a  magistrate's 
warrant,  has  found  no  indictment  against  him. 
THE  CASE  OP  STATE    TBEASUBEB    CABDOZA 
The  next  arrest,  and  perhaps  the  most  im- 
portant one  yet  made,  was  that  of  F.  L.  Car- 
doza, State  Treasurer.    He  was  taken  into  cus- 
tody on  the  21st  of  last  month  on  a  charge  of 
"diversion  of  funds;"  and  Democratic  news- 
papers, from  one   end  of   the  country  to  the 
other,  were  at  once  filled  with    editorial  com- 
ments congratulating  the  people  of  the  Palmetto 
State  upon  the  breaking  up  of  "  the  band  of 
thieves  that  had  oppressed  them."    In  making 
these  and  ot'ner  pleasant  references  to  Mr.  Car- 
doza,  they  took  occasion  to  state  that  he  had 
stolen  several  htindred  thousand  dollars  from  the 
State  Treasury,  the  amounts  varying  as    the 
place  in  which  the  papers  were  published  were 
near  to  or  remote  from  the  capital  of  South 
Carolina.    The  exact  truth  is  that  F.  L.  Car- 
doza is  one  of  the  most  conscientious,  high- 
minded,  and  scrupulously  honest  men  who  have 
ever  held   public  office  in  this  country.    He 
is   not   to-day   worth    $5,000   in    the    world. 
■What     money  >he     has     is     locked     up    in 
a  little  house  and  a  few  lots  of  ground  which  he 
owns  in  Columbia.     ■What   is   meant   by  the 
charge   brought   against   him,    "  diversion  of 
funds,"   will   perhaps  forever  remain  a  mystery. 
It  is  supposed,  however,  to  refer  to  his  action 
in  paying  a  claim  of  T.    W.    Price    &    Cq^,  of 
Philadelphia,  which  amounted  to  $15,8007The 
circtimstanoes  attending  the  payment  of  this 
claim  are  substantially  as  follows  :    In  the  Sum- 
mer of  1872,  Mr.  Price  printed  the  books  and 
papers  required  by  the  Auditors  and  Treostirers 
in    each    of   the  '32      counties  of    the    State 
of  South  Carolina  for  tbe  collection  of  taxes- 
The  State  did  not  pay  him  for  tbe  work  when  it 
was  done,  but  the   Auditors   and  Treasurers 
duly  received  their  books  and  made  use  of  them. 
In  the  Summer  of  1874  the    State  required 
similar  books  and  papers  for  a  similar  purpose. 
It  was  impossible  to  get    any  firm  in  South 
Carolina  to  furnish  them,  on  account  of  the 
failure  of  the  State  to  pay  tor  those  already, 
supplied,  and  it   appeared   that   the  want  of- 
$10,000  to  obtain  the  books  and  pa]>ers  tnac 
were   absolutely    necessary    to  the    collection 
of     the    taxes    would    have     prevented    the 
authorities     from    collecting     any     part     of 
the    $1,500,000    of    the    tax    levy-     Under 
the^    circumstances,  Moses,    who   was    then 
Governor  of  the    State,  called   together   the 
Controller-General  and    State  Treasurer,    and 
these  three  officers  after  consultation   handed 
in  a  written  request  to  Price  &  Co.  io    prepare 
the  required   books  and  papers,  and   assured 
them  that  they  would  use  their  utmost  influence 
to  persuade  the  Legislature   to  pay  not  only  for 
the  work  which  they  wished  them    to   do,  but 
also  for  the  service  which  they  had  previously 
rendered.      Under    these    circumstances   Mr. 
Price   consented    to   furnish  the    books     and 
japeza,    and    did    so.     In   February,    1875, 
the      Ijegialatan,       after      haying      been 


informed  of  all  the  facts  in  the  case,  made  an 
appropriation  of  $21,076  35  to  pay  for  the 
books  and  papers  furnished  and  used  in  1872 
and  1874,  and  authorized  the  payment  of 
$8,971  56  out  of  the  taxes  that  were  then  be- 
ing collected,  and  tlw  remainder,  with  interest 
at  7  per  cent,  from  the  time  the  debt  was  con- 
tracted, out  of  the  taxes  of  1876,  the  succeed- 
ing year.  This  law  was  approved  by  Gov. 
Chamberlain,  who  was  then  chief  magistrate 
of  the  State,  and  who  aided  materi- 
ally in  procuring  its  enactment  Under 
the  law  Mr,  Price  duly  received  the 
first  installment  of  the  money  owed  him  by  the 
State,  and  the  balance,  amounting  to  $15,800, 
principal  and  interest,  was  paid  by  State 
Treasurer  Cardoza  in  1876.  The  Tax  act  for 
the  year  named  was  passed  in  December,  1875, 
and  as  Mr.  Price's  name  was  not  specifically 
mentioned  in  it.  Cardoza  is  now  charged  with 
"diversion  of  funds,"  for  paying  Price  out 
of  tbe  proceeds  of  that  tax,  in  accordance 
with  the  act  of  Feb.  0,  1875.  After  the 
payment  was  made  a  member  of  the 
Hpuse.  who  was  personally  opposed  to  Treas- 
urer Cardoza,  offered  a  resolution  inquiring 
by  what  legal  right  he  had  paid  the  warrant. 
He  replied  that  he  had  acted  in  accordance  with 
the  law  of  Feb-  9, 1875.  The  House  then  or- 
dered this  answer  to  be  entered  in  the  journal 
and  paid  no  further  attention  to  the  matter, 
showing  conclusively  that  they  regarded  it  as 
too  frivolous  for  their  notice.  For  this  offense — 
that  is  to  say,  for  having  acted  in  accord- 
ance with  the  laws  of  the  State — Mr.  Cardoza  was 
held  in  the  exorbitant  sum  of  $20,000  bail. 
How  unjust  are  the  charges  brought  again«t 
him,  and  how  outrageous  is  the  persecutions  to 
which  South  Carolina  Republicans  are  now 
being  guojected,  will  be  better  understood  when 
I  state  that  Mr.  Cardoza  has  occupied  the  posi- 
tion of  State  Treasurer  for  four  and  a  half 
years,  and  during  that  time  handled  $20,- 
000,000  of  money,  bonds,  and  securities,  and 
although  his  office  and  every  paper  in  it  was 
thoroughly  secarcbed  for  two  months  by  well- 
known  ei])ert.s,  it  was  impossible  to  bring  any 
charge  of  defalcation  or  of  irregularity  against 
him. 

THE  ROBBER  GOVERNOR  AGAIN. 

Finding  that  Cardoza  wag  able  to  furnish  even 
the  extravagant  bail  which  was  demanded  of 
him,  and  seeing  that  it  would  bo  impossible 
to  have  him  imprisoned,  as  they  desired,  the 
committee  next  turned  their  attention  in  other 
directionsjand  caused  the  arrest  of  ex-Gov- 
Moses,  C-  W-  Montgomery,  ex-President  of  the 
Senate  ;  S-  J.  Lee,  ex-Speaker  of  the  House  ;  J- 
Woodworth,  Clerk  of  the  Senate,  and  A-  O. 
Jones,  ex<^erk  of  the  House.  They  were  all 
charged  with  general  corruption  and  fraud  in 
office.  Of  all  the  persons  named,  Moses 
was,  of  course,  generally  admitted  to  be 
the  chief  criminal.  No  man  had  done  the 
Stote  of  South  Carolina  more  injury. 
He  it  was  who  completed  the  work  of  spoliation 
commenced  by  the  Administration  that  preced- 
ed him.  He  was  the  man  who  emptied  the 
Treasury,  exasperated  the  people,  and  made 
South  Carolina  Republicanism  odious  all  over 
the  country.  For  in-stance,  when  he  was  Speak- 
er of  the  House,  during  the  session  of  1871, 
the  appropriation  for  legislvtive  expenses  was 
only  $350,000  ;  yet,  witii  the  utmost  coolness, 
he  issued  $7.'JO,0<)0  of  pay  certificates  to  the 
favorites  and  sycophants  who  cringed  about 
him,  ■\Vhile  Governor,-  a  warrant  was  issued 
for  his  arrest,  in  which  he  was  directiy  charged  in 
connection  with  one  of  his  tools — a  boy  named 
Hubbard — with  having  robbed  the  State  of  a 
large  amount  In  spite  of  the.ie  crimes,  how- 
ever, and  in  spite  of  all  tbe  abuse  which  had 
been  heaped  upon  "the  robber  Governor,"  he 
was  no  sooner  arrested  than  Hampton — the 
chivolric  Hampton — and  his  associates  made 
terms  with  him.  He  has  now  turned  State's 
evidence,  and  is  treated  with  the  utmost  con-sid- 
eration  and  kindness  by  the  Democratic  re- 
formers. It  may  be  that  their  action  in  this 
direction  in  due  to  the  fact  that  Moses 
still  boasts  of  having  hauled  down  the 
American  flag  from  Fort  Sumter-  He  is  a 
native  South  Carolinian,  too,  and  it  is  just 
possible  that  the  Democrats  don't  desire  to  have 
him  prosecuted,  because  he  would  bo  able  to 
prove  that  in  1875,  while  he  was  Governor, 
they  bought  from  him  for  the  sum  of  $15,000 
all  the  Commis-sioners  and  Inspectors  of  Elec- 
tion appointed  by  him  in  that  year.  This  they 
did  hoping  to  count  Chamberlam  out 

The  committee  which  has  been  Instrumental 
in  making  the  arrests  referred  to  conducts  its 
examinations  strictly  on  the  star  chamber  plan- 
Each  witnes-s,  before  he  is  examined,  is  com- 
pelled to  swear  that  he  will  not  divulge  any  of 
the  questions  that  have  been  asked  him,  or  any 
of  the  answers  which  he  makes  to  them,  and 
the  Democratic  Attorney-General,  Connors,  has 
given  the  committee  an  opinion  which  empowers 
them  to  imprison  all  witnesses  who  will  not 
complywith  theseconditions.  Notwithstanding 
this  prospective  punishment,  however,  some  of 
the  witnesses  examined  have  evaded  the  oath, 
and  told  of  some  of  the  questions  asked  and  the 
answers  given-  From  these  it  is  very  evident 
that  the  committee  is  not  by  any  means  actu- 
ated by  a  desire  to  discover  fraud  and  prosecute 
criminals,  but  that  its  chief  desire  is  to  perse- 
cute prominent  leaders  of  the  now  defunct  Re- 
publican Party  who,  in  the  days  that  are  gone, 
had  the  courage  to  fight  for  its  principles 
against  the  combined  forces  of  the  White 
League. 

A  PLOT  AGAINST  GOV,   CHAMBEBLAIN. 

I  have  recentiy  had  extended  conversations 
with  a  number  of  these  witnesses,  who  are  now 
in  ■Washington,  and  they  all  join  in  the  state- 
ment that  most  of  the  questions  put  to  them 
were  evidently  Intended  to  elicit  information 
which  might  in  some  way  criminate  Gov- 
Chamberlain.  Every  question  pointed  in  that 
direction,  and  made  it  certain  that  the  Democrats 
are  engaged  in  a  desperate  effort  to  impeach  his 
honesty  and  so  break  down  the  character  of 
one  who  has  been  held  up  as  an  honest  man,  a 
cultivated  gentleman,  and  a  true  type  of 
Southern  Republicanism.  Thus  far  they  have 
not  succeeded,  and  it  is  not  likely  that  thev 
will  succeed-  There  is  not  one  particle  of  evi- 
dence against  Gov.  Chamberlain,  and  every  act 
of  his  official  and  private  life  in  South  Carolina 
can  be  made  public  without  detriment  to  him. 
Indeed,  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  an  in- 
vestigation wonld  only  tend  to  strengthen  him 
in  the  good  opinion  of  his  countrymen.  Of 
course,  Gen.  Hampton  protests  in  his 
mild  and  pleasant  way  against  the  po- 
litical persecution  to  which  i  have  referred. 
How  honest  he  is  in  these  protestations  may  be 
inferred  from  the  fact  that  his  intimate  fnend 
and  constant  associate  Attorney-General  Con- 
nors is  counsel  to  the  Committee  of  Investiga- 
tion and  prominentiy  engaged  as  prosecuting 
attorney.  Why  the  Democratic  leaders  of 
South  Carolina  desire  to  blacken  the  character 
of  men  who  have  left  the  State  and  who  have 
given  them  complete  control  of  the  Government 
it  is  impossible  to  state.  It  is  surmised,  how- 
ever, that  they  still  fear  the  power  of  the  im- 
mense Republican  majority  which  they  tnow 
exists  in  that  Commonwealth.  The  memory  of 
the  last  campaign  of  murder  and  outrage  still 
clings  to  them-  The  ghosts  of  murdered  Repub- 
licans haunt  them-  In  their  innermost  souls 
they  feel  that  they  are  guilty  men,  and^they'are 
still  dissatisfied  even  with  what  is  generally  re- 
garded as  the  complete  overthrow  of  their  old 
opponents.  They  will  not  rest  content  until  the 
Republican  Party  is  buried  beyond  even  a  hope 
of  resurrection.   . .  E.G. 

THE  MINERS'  STRIKE. 
SprdtU  IHi^Mteh  to  tht  Nno-Tork  Ttmn. 

SCBANTON,  Penn.,  Aug.  24. — ^The  com- 
munication of  President  Hoyt  in  reply  to  the 
demand  of  the  Pennsylvania  Coal  Company's 
miners  at  Pittston  for  an  advance  of  23  per 
cent  in  their  wages  was  received  this  after- 
noon. The  tone  of  the  letter  takes  the  miners 
aback,  as  the  company  not  only  refuses  to  grant 
the  desired  concession,  but  will  not  allow  work 
to  be  resumed  in  the  mines  unless  the  miners 
are  quite  unanimous  in  favor  of  re.sumption  at 
the  July  rates  of  compensation,  which  is  44 
cents  per  ton.  The  miners  will  hold  a  meeting 
soon,  and  decide  whether  to  accept  the  situation 
or  oppose.  Upon  their  decision  rests  the  fate  of 
scores  of  families  already  reduced  to  the  lowest 
degree  of  poverty.

THE  VINELAND  BURIAL  CASE. 


FATHER  VrVET  KNOWS  NOTHING  ABOUT  HIS 
BEPOETED  REMOVAL  AND  DOES  NOT  BE- 
LIEVE IT — ^MRS.  MAGGIOLI'S  LAWYER  SUMS 
UP  HER  CASE. 

4wiaIX>iapi«ilk  til  On  Xtie-Tort  naua. 
■ViNELAND,  N.  J.,  Aug.  24. — The  state- 
ments telegraphed  The  Times  last  evening  in 
reference  to  the  reported  removal  of  Father 
■Vivet  from  the  pastorate  of  the  CathoUc  church 
in  this  place,  faithfully  represent  the  situation 
BO  far  as  he  is  at  present  concerned.  It  is  true 
that  there  is  a  strong  and  growing  feeling  in  fa- 
vor of  his  removal  or  transfer  from  his  charge 
here,  and  undoubtedly  a  heavy  pressure  will  be 
brought  to  bear  upon  the  Bishop  to  secure 
such  action  on  his^art  But  at  this  time, 
at  least.  It  is  whol%  premature  to  assert 
that  such  will  be  the  final  result  -*When 
questioned  jthis  evenings  on  the  subject  of  the 
report.  Father  '?ivet  expressed  great  surprise, 
and  said  that  it  was  the  strangest  of  news  to 
him.  His  relations  with  the  Bishop  had  always 
been,  and  sttU  were,  of  the  most  cordial  charac- 
ter, and  he  did  not  believe  that,  on  account  of 
this  unhappy  affair,  he  intended  to  take  him 
away  from  the  charge  to  which  he  had  espe- 
cially endeared  himself,  and  that,  too,  just  when 
his  little  church  was  finished,  and  ready  for 
the  reverend  father's  blessing,  who  was 
coming  to  bestow  it  upon  the  com- 
pleted edifice  in  about  six  weeks.  He 
[the  priest]  said  that  he  had  written  to  Bishop 
Corrtgan  asking  him  to  fix  -some  Sabbath  in  Oc- 
tober as  the  date  of  his  vLsit,  and  he  was  mo- 
mentarily expecting  a  definite  reply  to  his  com- 
munication. In  this  interview  Father  Vivet 
assured  me  that  his  decision  in  respect  to  his 
and  Mrs.  Gregory's  determination  to  allow  tbe 
body  of  Mr.  Maggioli  to  lie  undisturbed  in  its 
present  place  of  Interment  was  final  and  abso- 
lute so  far  as  any  action  of  his  might  affect  it 
It  was  his  most  earnest  wish  and  desire  to 
have  no  more  trouble  or  controversy  about  the 
matter,  and  he  would  endeavor  to  do  nothing 
that  would  arouse  public  feeling  in  any  form. 
He  also  took  pains  to  inform  me  that  he  had 
sent  a  communication  to  The  Tiscks,  denying 
emphatically  certain  statements  prejudicial  to 
his  character  and  action  as  a  priest  which  had 
recently  appeared  in  its  columns-  It  should  be 
remembered  that  in  this  case  there  are  several 
separate  charges,  each  susceptible  of  proof,  and 
that  a  simple  denial  will  be  insufficient  to  dis- 
prove any  of  them-  The  answer  of  E-  M-  Tur- 
ner. Esq.,  to  Father  Vivet  will  be  made 
public  to-morrow  morning-  It  opens  with'a 
reference  io  the  illegal  and  informal  manner  in 
whicnlris^angwer,  as  dictated  after  consultation 
with  Bishop  Corrigan,  was  served  upon  Tur- 
ner, the  priest  having  read  it  to  him  in  hisjofflce 
from  a  local  paper,  after  having  first  i3sde  it 
public  in  that  manner :  and  reviews  with  con- 
siderable detail  all  the  circum-stances  attending 
and  growing  out  of  tbe  service  of  Father  Vivet's 
iuhuman  order  upon  Mrs.  Maggioli,  command- 
ing her  to  remove  the  body  of  her  husband 
from  the  Catholic  cemetery  upon  pain  of  prose- 
cution for  trespass  in  case  she  refused  to  comply- 
The  answer  then  proceeds  with  a  statement  of 
the  facts  of  the  case,  substantially  as  they  have 
already  been  given  to  tbe  readers  of  Th£  Tiubs- 
Mr-  Turner's  presentation  of  the  case  is  an  ex- 
ceedingly strong  and  comprehensive  one-  The 
substantial  argument  is  compressed  In  the  sum- 
ming up,  which  is  as  follows  :  "  First — You 
ordered  tlie  body  of  Joseph  Maggioli  to  be  ex- 
humed and  removed  because  he  did  not  perform 
his  Eafjter  duties,  also  because  he  did-not  call  a 
priest  during  his  sickness,  and  upon 
the.<o  tv.-o  grounds  only.  Mrs.  Maggioli 
refased  to  comply.  Second — Y*ou  then  tried 
to  compel  her  by'  intimidation.  That  failed. 
Third — You  now  try  to  compel  her  to  comply 
with  your  order,  on  the  ground  that  some  one 
else  owns  the  lot  In  which  her  husband  Is 
buried.  Fourth — You  try  to  estab^h  the  title 
of  the  lot  in  which  Mr.  Maggioli  is  buried  in 
Mrs.  James  Gregory,  and  fix  the  date  of  your 
sale  on  Aug.  2  inst  James  Gregory  was 
buried  July  30  last  past,  by  your  permit 
Mrs'  Gregory  says  she  had  but  one  transaction 
with  you,  made  but  one  payment,  and  that 
but  $5.  The  sale  made  to  J^rs.  Gregory 
for  the  lot  in  which  Mr.  MaggitfU  lies  is  not 
conveyed  by  deed  or  otherwise,  and  Mrs. 
Gregory  has  no  receipt  for  the  money  paid. 
Mrs.  Maggioli  pale  $5  for  one  burial  permit. 
Mrs.  Gregory  $5  for  two  in  the  same  location. 
Mrs.  Gregory  hag  intended,  and  still  Intends,  to 
leave  Vineland  and  take  her  husband  with  her. 
On  tbe  strength  of  the  aforesaid  statement  and 
information,  in  behalf  of  Mrs.  Maggioli,  I  hereby 
notify  you  that  she  will  not  exhume  and  remove 
the  body  of  Joseph  Maggioli,  or  consent  to  its 
being  removed  from  the  place  where  it  in  now 
entombed." 

Rev.  P.  Vivet,  of  Melvil4e,"N.  J.,  has  written 
to  The  Times  in  reference  to  the  Vineland  scandal, 
in  which  his  name  was  prominentiy  associated,  mak. 
ing  a  general  denial  of  the  charges  against  him  in 
connection  with  the  exhundng  of  the  body  of  Mr. 
Maggioli.  He  alleges  that  the  scandals  were  circu- 
lated by  aymnatbizen  of  the  dead  man  to  calum- 
niate him  dnfprejndice  hixn  in  the  eyea  of  tbe  pub- 
lic He  denies  that  the  lot  on  which  the  deceased 
was  buried  was  sold  to  Mrs.  Gregory  on  .4,ug-  7, 
assorting  that  the  sale  occurred  aa  early  as  Aug-  2, 
two  days  before  the  burial  of  Maggioli's  body.  He 
declares  the  statement  that  he  was  entreated 
to  allow  Giegoiy  to  die  reconciled  to  tJie 
Church,  and  that  he  oonRented  and  visited  him  the 
day  before  he  died,  to  be  a  "  monstrous  mwrepre- 
sentation,"  and  he  also  denies  that  he  refused  to  ad- 
mininter  the  sacraments  to  the  dying  man,  or  to  rec- 
oncile Gregory  to  the  Churah-  He  asserts  further 
tliat  Mrs-  Gregory  had  a  leiaral  ri^t  to  the  lot  in  quea* 
tion,  it  being  given  her  by  himself  on  Aug-  2,  as  be- 
fore stated-  He  still  furtner  afiserts  that  ifrB-  Greg- 
ory did  not  make  the  statement  that  the  lot  wax  ftold 
to  her  on  Aug-  2  in  obedience  to  any  instructions, 
and  denies  the  report  that  there  was  any  "  money 
consideration"  in  his  giving  his  consent  to  visit  Mr- 
Gregt>rT  the  day  previous  to  his  death  to  reconcile 
him  to  'the  Church,  and  the  publiBhed  statement  that 
he  [Vivet]  had  be*n  guilty  of  deliberate  falsehood  in 
his  representations  concerning  the  disposal  of  banal 
rights  to  Mrs-  Gregory-  In  conclusion  he  col's  the 
accounts  published  from  Vineland  on  Aug-  20  a  story 
made  up  by  the  interested  aympathizers  of  Mrs- 
Ma^oh  through  hatred  or  to  aerve  private  enda- 

DANGERS  OF  SURF  BATHING. 

Boston,  Aug.  24. — ^At  Nantucket  Beach 
this  afternoon  Charles  S.  Waller,  of  New-York, 
and  Mrs.  S.  A.  Webster,  a  well-known  artist, 
while  bathing  in  the  surf  were  swept  out  by  the 
waves  beyond  their  depth.  Mrs.  Webster  was 
rescued  at  oncC  t*. Waller  was  finally  drawn  in 
and  conveyed  to  the  Sea  Poam  Honse,  where 
immediate  measures  were  taken  to  resuscitate 
him.  His  heart  beat  and  he  breathed  through 
the  afternoon  occasionally.  Hopes  are  enter- 
tained of  his  recovery.

THE  PRESIDENT  SPEAKS  AT  NASHTU.  ANI> 
WORCESTER — SPEECHES  OP  THE  CABIKTr 
OFFICERS  AT  THE  LATTEB  PLACE — DE- 
PARTUBE  FOR  NEW-TOBK. 

Nashua,  N.  H.,  Aug.  24. — The  Presiden- 
tial party  took  their  places  in  the  special  can 
assigned  to  them  at  5  o'clock  yesterday  after- 
noon, en  route  for  Worcester.  A  very  enl£asl- 
astic  crowd  assembled  at  the  rear  of  the  irain,  . 
and  the  President  was  repeatedly  urged  to-apea^-r' 
He  spoke  as  follows  : 

I  have  spoken  so  often  and  so  much  in  New- 
Hampshire,  and  especially-  in  this  town  ot 
Nashua,  that  I  hardly  know  how  to  start  E 
feel  rather  like  going  through  that  military  evo- 
lution, which  is  sometimes  neces.sary,  of  mark- 
ing time :  it  makes  no  progress.  [A  vkjIcc — "  W* 
will  do  it  for  you."]  There  are  a  number  of 
thinga  on  which  we,  I  think,  agree,  and 
in  tills  sort  of  miscellaneous  anaemblage, 
made  up  of  Republicans,  Democrats, 
and  Independents  —  made  up  of  men 
of  different  sects,  and  possibly  some  and  many-, 
who  have  no  sect  at  all ;  of  capitalists  and  la-  ' 
borers,  it  is  desirable  to  discuss  rather  those 
things  in  which  we  agree  tiian  those  things  in 
which  we  differ.  We  have  occasion  daily  to 
meet  and  discuss  our  differences.  Political 
meetings  are  for  that  purpose,  but  this  is  agath- 
erine  in  which  I  trust  the 'general  spirit  Is  a  de- 
slro  for  harmony,  for  friendship,  for  agreement ; 
and  that  really  is  the  guiding  sentiment,  so  far 
aa  my  purposes  are  concerned,  of  xhim. 
Administration — to  bring  people  togethef 
who  have  heretofore  been  divided.  [A 
voice — "  And  hold  them  together."  Applaase.1' 
I  knew  there  were  better  speakers  in  the  ciowd 
than  I  am.  And  among  those  ideas  about  wh'ich 
wo  agree  are  these  :  We  are  agreed  that  [liia 
territory  embraced  within  the  United  States, 
from  the  tropics  almost  to  it*(  fripid  zone,  from, 
the  Atiantic  to  the  Pacific,  is  hereafter  inde- 
structibly one  nation,  [a  voice — ;"  That's  so  :"] 
and  again,  it  is  a  nation  composed  of  States- 
all  of  which  States  have  equal  rights,  [a  voice^ 
'•  That's  right,"]  and  it  is  crowded  with  inhab- 
itants of  different  races,  nationalitie.*.  employ- 
ments, and  differences  of  life,  all  of  which  States 
have  equal  rights.  Now,  there  are  threa 
great  ideas,  and  the  fourth  is  that 
the  National  Government  has  all  within  tha| 
sphere  of  its  proper  constitutional  rigbtr. 
It  is  supreme,  and  all  this,  I  think  we  aire 
agreed  on,  and  if  there  bo  any  chart  on  which 
any  one  shall  attempt  to  make  out  the  cours» 
that  this  Administration  is  to  take,  they  should 
make  it  ont  in  accordance  with  all  four  of  these 
ideas  If  we  succeed  In  what  we  desire.  That  there 
will  be  short-comings,  that  there  will  be  gross 
blunders  sometimes,  that  there  will  be  mistakes, 
is  no  doubt  true  ;  for  the  Government,  lite  the 
people.  Is  human  In  Its  origin  an<l  may,  there- 
fore, err.  Our  purpose  is  always  to  try  to  r^ 
member  that  while  the  National  Government  is 
supreme — while  the  Union  is  to  be  one  forever 
— the  rights  of  .States,  and  the  rights  of  individ- 
uals are  to  be  equally  regarded  forever.  [A 
voice,  "  Amen."j  But  this  is  altojjether  too* 
sober,  I  see,  for  the  temner  of  this  crowd,  andj 
for  my  own  part  I  would  rather  joke  with  you ; 
and,  now,  as  the  locomotive  is  coining  to  end 
my  speech,  for  which  I  am  much  obliged,  I  will 
bid  you  good  evening. 

The  trai^  then  fiioved  off  amid  the  cheers  of 
the  crowd,  and  tbe  Presidential- party  left  New. 
Hampshire.  At  Ayer  Junction  the  Presideni 
made  a  short  address  as  follows : 

Fellow-citizex-s  :  It  is  altogether  out  of  the 
question  that  iii  the  short  time  the  cars  will  de- 
lay at  this  station  1  should  say  anything  worth 
your  hearing  or  my  saying.  I  am  very  sure 
that  tbe  people  of  Mas,sachusetts  desire  theii^ 
Government  to  be  administered  honestiy,  with 
purity,  with  a  desire  of  promoting  the  interest 
of  all  sections  of  the  Union,  and  to  promote  the 
intcre-*it  of  all  alike  and  equally — of  capitalist 
and. laborer,  white  man  and  black  man-  In 
short,  to  be  with  all  as  citizensof  our  own  coun* 
Uy- 

The  noise  of  the  train  prevented  further 
speaking  from  being  heard-  Gov.  Prescott  and 
staff  accompanied  tbe  President  and  Cabinet  to 
Ayer  Jtmction,  leaving  them  there  and.  return- 
ing by  the  regular  train  to  Concord. 

WOECESTER,  Mass.,  Aug.  2-1. — Xt  the  Presi- 
dential reception  at  the  Bay  State  -House  last 
evening  the  President  made  the  following 
speech: 

FELLOw-crnxEire  of  Woecbsteb  :  I  need 
not  say  to  vou  that  this  is  a  great  reception  and 
very  grati^ing  to  us.  The  Government  of  the 
Uni't^  States  is  of  interest  to  ail  of  you,  and  it 
Is  because  of  your  interest  in  that  Government 
that  you  have  turned  out  as  you  have  in  such 
vast  numbers  to  welcome  tho-se  to  whose  charge 
the  administration  of  this  Government 
has  been  committed.  We  undecstaud  per^ 
fectiy  well  that  this  is  no  personal 
compliment  to  us.  Tou  entertain  very  decided 
opinions  as  to  the  course  the  Government  shall 
pursue.  There  is  a  wide  diversity  of  opinion  at 
to  the  precise  measures  of  the  Government;  , 
but  there  are  a  few  things  I  have  acquired  the 
habit  of  saying,  since  our  trip  through  New- 
England  besran,  upon  which  the  whole  people  of 
the  United  States  are  substantially  agreed. 
[Cheers-]  We  are  all  agreed  that  hereafter,  and- 
for  all  time,  the  territory  of  the  United  States, 
embracing  as  it  does  the  best  part  of  the 
Continent,  extending  from  the  torrid  zone  on 
the  south  to  the  fri^d  on  the  north,  from, 
the  Atlantic  Ocean  on  the  east  to  the  Pacific  on 
the  west.  Is  forever  hereafter  to  belong  to  one 
nation,  and  to  one  nation  only.  We  are  all 
agreed  that  all  the  States  of  the  Union  shall 
have  equal  rights  ;  that  every  State  is  equal  to 
each  other ;  that  all  citizens  of  the  L  nited 
States,  black  or  white,  native  bom  or  na- 
turalized, capitalists  or  laborers,  shall  have 
equal  rights  before  the  law,  and 
over  all  the  Government  by  the  peopls 
shall  continue  to  be  forever  supreme. 
These  are  general  ideas  entertained  about 
the  Government  There  are  differences  as  to 
the  methods,  and  whatever  errors  may  be 
made  you  will  remember  that  it  is  our  purpose, 
honestly  to  pursue  a  course  In  support  of  the 
propositions  I  have  offered  you.  -And  now, 
having  already  spoken  too  long,  I  must  give 
way  to  one  who,  althoufrh  he  has  not  always 
been  vrith  us,  in  support  of  the  ideas  I  have 
given  you  is  as  sound  as  you  and  I.  I  no^abjtve 
the  pleasure  of  introducing,  Judge  Key,  oPTen- 
nessee :  * 

Postmaster-General  Key  said : 

My  Fellow-Citizens  :  When  onr  fathera 
made  tbe  Constitution  of  this  country,  they  rec- 
ognized slavery  in  it  The  people  of  the  South, 
who  supported  it  from  the  very  beginning,  had 
differences  with  the  people  of  New-England,  who 
opposed  it,  and  for  many  long  years  the  two  sec- 
tions continuc'l  to  quarrel  over  the  extension  of 
slavery-  i'iually,  they  decided  to  settie  it  by' 
force  of  arms  :  to  quit  quarreling  and  fight  it 
out.  Both  sides  fought  bravely,  but  as  a  sol- 
dier of  the  South  I  can  say  yoa  whipped  na 
soundly.  That,  I  hope,  created  no  ennuties  be- 
tween UB.  Here  is  your  fellow-citizen  and  xnv^ 
friend,  Attorney-General  Devens.  Ha  and  't 
used  to  shoot  at  each  other,  but  there  are  now 
no  better  friends.  North  or  South,  than  we  :<re 
to-day ;  and  I  hope  this  feeling  prevails  thro-agh. 
all  sections  of  the  land,  and  is' 
entertained  by  every  man,  white  or 
black.  -As  we  are  now  free  men, 
the  cause  of  the  great  quarrel  between  tho 
South  and  New-England  no  longer  exists  ;  the 
great  chasm  which  yawned  between  is  dosed, 
and  will  remain  closed  forever,  and  friendship 
and  ami^  should  exist  among  us  all  The 
soldiers  of  the  South  abide  by  the  settietnent  ot 
the  question  which  divided  us — which  one  and 
aU  recognized  in  the  Coustitutian,  as  amended, 
as  the  mial  determination  of  our  quarrel,  azid 
we  are  right  to  fight  for  it  and  die  for  it  But, 
my  friends,  I  must  speak  no  longer.  There  are 
others  whom  yon  wish  to  hear,  and  I  will  elosa 
by  thanking  you  most  prof otmdly  for  the  verW 
cordial  and  hearty  welcome  we  ^ve  received.  / 

Qen.  Devens  said : 

FaLLOW-CrnzEMB :  I  am  much  ohlUred  to 
yon  for  this  cordial  welcome  home ;  for  to  m» 
it  oomes  with  all  those  affectVinate  associationa 
Involved  in  the  word  "  home."  Delightful  as  it 
is,  it  is  not  more  so  to  mo  than  the  manner  in 
which  vou  have  received  the  President  and  my 
friend  the  Postmaster-General  I  can  aasuttt 
them  in  your  name  that  there  are  none  whom 
yon  desire  more  ardentiy  *d  tee  or  weloome 
more  cordially  than  one  -no  fotight  »g«.in«^

heard  my  voice  too  often,  and  sometlines  too 
long,  and  again  thanking  you  cordially  for  your 
welcome,  I  will  give  way  to  others. 

Secretary  Evarts  said : 

I  am  proud  of  this  assemblage  of  eltUens  of 
my  nauve  State  that  have  come  together  to  do 
homage  to  the  President  of  the  TTnited  States, 
and  to  welcome  our  colleague  from  a  distant 
State  with  all  the  warmth  of  nationality  that 
belongs  to  the  people  of  Maflsaehuaetts.  We 
have  come  from  Bennington,  whereon  that 
field  on  which  the  battle  ^vas  fotight  that  pre- 
vented a  division  of  the  North  and  South,  we 
have  renewed  that  feeling  of  nnlty  between  the 
N^orth  and  South  by  which  alone  was  that  sur- 
rir  n  ler  which  followed  the  battle  obt^ued.  Our 
dt:£eat  of  the  British  wfa^n  they  aought  to 
divide  U3  made  successfol  the  war  of  tiie  revo- 
lurinn,  and  within  our  borders  let  us  suppress, 
as  did  our  fathers  in  the  revolution,  all  effortEi  to 
divide  us,  and  deny  hospitality  to  all  counsels 
that  seek  to  renew  dissension.  If,  gentlemen, 
the  distin^ruished  General,  soldier,  and  law^r 
of  the  ^outh — (and  Mr.  Key  accepts  all  these  aa 
a  triumph  of  our  opinion  as  well  as  our  arms,) 
— Inofcs  upon  this  countty  as  a  whole  pervaded 
with  Xew-England  principles ;  if  he  and  his 
poopSc  are  satisfied  to  live  under  our  ennobling 
Consiitution,  cannot  we»  who  have  carried 
every  jKiint,  lay  aside  every  issue  of  that  an- 
cieat  strife  i  How  many  in  this  crowd — how 
niiiny  in  the  North — are  ready  and  willing  to 
occupy  the  position  of  being  irreconcilable  with 
reconcilability  I 

Senator  Hoar  said : 

Thoushtless  men  sometlnies  speak  of  the 
rixecutivo  power  of  the  Government  as  a  one- 
raau  power.  Ko  greater  heresy  was  ever  ut- 
tered. The  power  of  the  President  of  the  United 
folates  iu  all  the  departments  is  all  men's  power, 
Vv'hcn  our  illustrious  and  distinguished  guest 
utterpd  those  truths  of  dignity  and  manhood, 
45.000,000  people  spoke  through  his  lips.  His 
utterances  are  reinforced  by  the  thousands  of 
(ho  Army  he  heads, 'and  carried  the  world  over 
by  the  Navy  which  he  a^ds  on  errands  of  corn- 
mere?  and  to  vindicate  the  dignity  of  the 
Amcncan  flag.  They  are  uttered  ?rom  the 
hearis  of  45,000.000  people,  of  which  he  is 
the  hono'red  and  beloved  representative.  But, 
my  frionds.  while  the  nation  speaks  to  you 
throufrh  a  sinirle  voiced,  and  its  thoughts  and 
purposes  are  fitly  uttered,  the  heart  of  the  Com- 
monwealth needs  no  single  voice  to  speak  for 
her.  You  are  here  in  person,  and  not  by  a  rep- 
resentative, and  I  ask  yon  to  oonclnde  the  In- 
t(^ref»rin2  solemnities  of  this  occasion  by  three 
cheers  for  the  President  of  the  United  States. 

("lieers  were  given  with  a  will,  after  which 
Mrs.  Hayes  was  presented  by  Gteu.  Derens.  After 
the  speaking  the  party  again  took  carriages,  the 
processinn  was  reformed  and  the  march  was 
taken  nn  to  the  residence  of  Senator  Hoar, 
where  were  trathered  the  members  of  the  City 
Govemmpni  auil  ayfargo  number  of  invited

Detective  Larry  Hazen  and  Mr.  GilUgan,  In

B*anf?d  oat  yestenhiy  afternoon  on  the  trail  of  J.  H. 
^lackey,  fannd  dead  in  a  tld^ket  on  a  farm  back  of 
Newport.  Sunday  nijjht.  On  the  way  there  they 
foniid  a  blufgy  whip,  which  saemed  to  give  them  a 
ciae  to  a  theory  of  his  destli — driTen  oat  in  a  buggy, 
mnrdered,  and  hidden  in  haste  by  his  murderer,  who 
h:id  dropped  a  whip.  But  the  whip,  it  tomed  ont, 
belonged  to  Coroner  Winston,  and  was  left  there  by 
hiin  on  last  Sunday  night.    This  sj^tled  that  theory. 

On  the  ground  they  found  the  scalp  and  hair  of 
the  dead  man,  which  had  eridently  pulled  off  when 
they  lifted  him  up  in  the  lamplight.  The  hair  was 
tuatte-l  to  the  ground  and  the  scalpiay  on  a  stone — 
a  Mn-'ill  stone  in  a  position  that  corresponded  to  the 
rontu5iion  found  on  the  back  of  the  man's  head  to 
the  left  of  the  crown.  This  jjave  a  Btkrt  to  another 
thfonr.  excluding  the  supposition  of  Imnrder.  i.  e..

PKOPLB  —  SEVERAL  MCTBA  SACKS  TO 
TAKE  PLACE— THE  PBOGRAlOtE  FOE  TO- 
DAY, 
Sabatooa,  N.  Y.,  Ang.  S^—Altlwngh  three 
days'  radng  will  be  given  next  week,  the  r^tilar  sea- 
son terminates  to-morrow.  The  meetings  here  have 
certainly  famished  the  most  brilliant  sedes  of  events 
ever  witnessed  in  this  ootmtry,  and  have  been  wit- 
nessed by  the  very  best  elaas  of  people.  There  can 
bono  better  commentary  npon  the  management  of 
the  Saratoga  OonrSe  than  to  say  that,  day  after  day, 
the  grand  stand  has  been  the  resort  of  people  eminent 
In  lltermtnre,  the  arts>  and  the  polities  of  the  country. 
A  eonple  of  ministers  were  present  on  one  of  the 
race  days,  and  were  pointed  out  to  your 
correspondent.  They  appeared  to  be  as  mnoh 
interested  in  the  several  contests  as  the 
specolatom  thetnielres,  without  assnmlng  that  any 
pecuniary  advantage  occasioned  their  manifest  en- 
thusiasm. The  new  system  of  immediately  indicat- 
ing the  horse  that  has  flrst  passed  the  winning  post 
worked  to  a  charm  yesterday,  and  the  loud-mouthed 
sharpers  who  formerly  stood  as  close  to  the  line  as 
possible  and  offered  to  bet  on  the  result  before  a  de- 
cision was  given,  fonnd  their  ooeapation  gone.  The 
rule  has  effecttially  ended  a  ntdsuiee,  and,  as  many 
members  of  the  American  Jockey  Club  have  pro* 
normoed  it  a  great  improvement,  it  will  very  likely 
be  adopted  for  the  Fall  meeting  at  Jerome  Park. 
The  associations  can  make  another  progressive  step 
by  forbidding  spiritnons  liquors  in  the  jadges*  stand, 
and  compelling  owners  to  start  their  horses  when  en- 
tered In  races  that  close  the  day  before  they  are  to 
be  ran.  The  need  of  this  was  thorongtily  ezempliAed 
In  the  mOe  and  a  half  dash  yesterday.  There  were 
five  horses  entered,  viz..  Partnership,  \lceroy,  Vera 
Cros,  Vermont,  and  Wash  Booth  Vera  Cmz  became 
to  great  a  favorite  that  ha  was  finally  sold 
agidnst  the  field.  Those  who  bought  pools  on 
the  field  paid  well  for  it,  as  they  expected  four  horses 
to  Ttax  for  them ;  btit  at  the  last  moment  and  with- 
out any  previous  intimation,  the  two  best  horses. 
Viceroy  and  Partnership,  were  withdrawn,  and  the 
field  bnyers  were  in  the  Itireh.  At  the  same  time  the 
many  who  invested  la  combinations  (which  are  play 
or  pay)  with  those  two  horses  in  them,  had  no  oos- 
Bible  chance  to  win,  and  thus  a  wrong  is  perpetrated 
which  tlie  assocdation  is  powerless  to  prevent  under 
existing  rales.  ^  the  book-making  system  has 
taken  a  foothold  In  this  cotmtry,  the  roles  of  our  as- 
sociation mtut  be  amended  to  compel  horses  to  start 
in  purse  races  unless  they  are  excused  by  the 
judges  for  satisfactory  reasons.  Mr.  Morrissey,  who 
has  done  so  much  toward  popularizing  tha  turf,  will 
no  doubt  see  the  necesuty  of  introdueinK  this  salu- 
tary reform,  for  tho  public  must  be  protected  even  at 
the  basard  of  offending  the  sharpers. 

The  closing  of  the  stakes  of  the  Saratoga  Associa- 
tion for  1878-9  lias  been  the  means  of  reopen- 
ing the  discussion  in  regard  to  the  penal- 
ties introduced  by  this  association,  which  occa- 
sioned so  much  excitement  after  Mr.  Morrissey'a 
letter  appeared  in  Tax  Ttuxs.  The  entries  certain- 
ly indicate  that  tht  aasociation  has  not  gut  the  wont 
of  it,  and  that  the  oonfideuce  of  turfmen  in  its  in* 
tegrity  has  not  been  shaken  bv  the  controversy.  The 
five  stidces  closed  on  the  15tn  lust,  show  a  large  in- 
crease as  compared  with  the  entries  in  the  stakes 
run  this  year.  Take,  for  instance,  the  Saratoga 
Stadiea,  for  2-year  olds,  which  was  ran  at  tiie  flrst 
meeting.  There  were  49  nominations.  For  1878 
there  are  65  colts  and  fillies  entered,  an  increase  of 
16.  Tbe  Kentucky  Stakes  also  had  49  entries,  and 
next  rear  there  are  66.  The  Travers  Stakes  this 
year  had  01  entries  ;  for  1879  there  are  73  ;  and, 
while  the  Kenner  stake  had  63  this  yaar,  for  1879 
there  are  84  entries,  an  increase  of  21.  The  Ala- 
bama Stake,  forfillles.  has4!i  entriesfor  1879,  which 
is  a  falling  off  of  two  from  this  year.  These  flmires 
denote  a  faith  In  Saratoga  as  the  great  racing  centre, 
and  are  indicative  of  the  future  prosperity  of  the  turf. 
There  is  an  admirable  series  of  races  arranged  for 
to-mcrrow,  with  which  to  wind  up  the  regular  meet- 
hig.  There  are  four  events,  as  tuual,  the  first  of 
wbieh  is  a  consolation  purse  of  $4€K),  of  which 
$  lO^to  the  second  horse ;  dash  of  one  mile ;  all  horses 
beaten  and  not  having  won  a  race  at  either  meeting 
allowed  5  pounds.  As  there  are  plenty  of  owueni 
seeking  consolation  for  numerous  aefeata,  there  is  a 
fine  field  of  starters,  as  follows:  First  Chance,  with 
116  pounds:  Henry  Owens,  113  pounds;  Sisterof 
Mercy.  108  potinds ;  the  Glen  Athol  filly,  93  pounds ; 
>lary,  108  pounds;  Cotirier,  113  pounds;  Grecian 
Maid.  93  pounds,  and  Dan  K.,  95  pounds.  The  sec- 
ond race  is  a  free  handicap  of  a  mile  and  a  half,  for 
S-vear-olds,  for  which  are  entered  Bradamante,  108 
pooads;  Lady  Salyers,  101  pounds,  and  Bush- 
whacker, 100  potmds.  Following  this  is  an 
{fixtrm  race  of  a  mile  and  a  qtiarter,  at 
the  old  weights,  for  a  purse  of  $250 
offered  by  >lr.  H.  Stanford,  an  Fnglish 
book-maker,  who  thus  wishes  to  express  his 
appreciation  of  the  support  he  has  met  with  from 
turfaien  here.  The  association  gives  $50  to  the 
secoad  horse.  The  entries  are :  Riiadamanthns,  5 
yeajrs.  114  pounds:  Mad^,  i^  years,  109  pounds: 
Ma^  Barker.  3  years,  9o  pounds :  and  Bombast,  3 
years,  92  pounds.  This,  in  all  probability,  will  be 
tlie  most  exciting  contest  of  the  day.  and  is  attract- 
ing much  attention.  The  last  affair  will  be  a  free 
handicap  steeple-chase  over  the  usnal  cnnrne  for  a 
purse  of  $700,  and  the  acceptances  are  Trouble, 
Waller,  Moonstone,  and  a  newcomer  named  Paris. 
The  last  named  is  a  bay  gelding.  6  years  old,  by 
Colosros,  dam  by  imp.  Knight  of  St.  George.  The

From  Ottr  Own  Oonmffoitdent 

On  thb  Thaicbs,  neab  London,  J 
Saturday,  Aug.  4,  1877.      J 

Fire  and  twenty  minutes  by  district  rail- 
way from  Charing  Cross,  embowered  in  trees 
from  every  comer  of  the  world,  lie  Kow  Grar- 
dens,  a  picture  of  all  that  Is  peaceful  and  lovely. 
The  Thames  flows  dose  by,  and  if  you  go  there 
early  in  the  day  the  only  -rtsitors  are  half  a 
dozen  boating  loungers,  a  stray  botanist,  a  few 
lady  artists  transferring  the  images  of  rare 
leares  and  trees  to  their  slcetch  books,  or  a 
score  or  so  of  tourists.  No  Americans  visiting 
the  Uetropolis  should  miss  the  Boyal  Botanic 
and  Pleasur«  Gardens  at  Kew,  open  free  to  all 
comers  alt  the  year  round.  Nowhere 
in  Europe  will  he  find  so  many 
reminders  of  the  leafy  grandexir 
of  his  own  country.  The  ttilip.tTee,  the  ivy.  oak, 
the  white  maple  of  the  United  States,  the  giant 
Dines  ot  CaUfomia,  the  American  red  oak,  and 
a  score  of  other  trees  familiar  in  the  forests  and 
fields-  on  the  other  side,  mingle  their  um- 
brageous shadows  with  the  cedars  of  Lebanon, 
the  pines  of  the  Himalayas,  the  elms  of  Eng- 
land,  the  firs  of  Scotland,  and  the  cork  oaks  of 
Spain  and  Africa.  The  principal  entrance  is  ap- 
proached from  an  old  English  green,  which  in 
itself  is  worth  seeing  as  a  specimen  of  the  vil- 
lage greens  of  Great  Britain  celebrated  by  poet 
and  painter.  Yon  are  pestered,  though  not  un- 
dnly,  bv  itinerant  artists  and  hawkers  to^  pho- 
tographed, to  "  try  your  weight,"  to  buy  plums 
and  apples ;  but  tlie  tramp,  with  his  basket  or 
barrow,  is  an  institution  outside  all  the  show 
places  of  England,  and  he  helps  to  give  artistic 
color  to  the  landscape. 

Do  not  be  afraid  of  the  liveried  attendants  at 
the  gates ;  they  are  only  there  to  see  that  you 
don't  carry  luncheon  baskets  into  the  Gardens, 
and  to  remind  you  -that  you  are  not  to  smoke 
in  the  Botanical  Department.  Yon  step  into 
the  inolosure,  you  may  tread  the  velvet  turf, 
you  may  go  where  you  please.  It  is  a  dream  of 
green  lawns  and  parks,  lake  vistas,  of  floml  de- 
signs in  grassy  frames,  of  picturesque  trees 
sweeping  their  branches  to  the  ground,  of  fairy- 
like nooks  secluded  from  all  the  world,  of 
temples  on  turfy  mounds,  of  delicious  per- 
fumes, of  the  dreamy  presence  of 
the  sylvan  goddess  of  peace.  It  is 
the  much-abused  humidity  of  the 
English  climate  that  gives  ,to  this  fa- 
vored island  the  everlasting  green  of  its  grass 
and  the  luiuriant  verdure  of  its  trees.  "  By 
no  means  is  it  forbidden  to  walk  upon  the 
lawns,"  the  "Regulations  for  Visitors"  say; 
'*  still  it  is  requested  that  tbe  lawn  edges  paral- 
lel to  the  walks  be  not  made  a  kind  of  footway, 
for  nothing  renders  them  more  unsightly." 
How  deferentially  put !  how  thorbnghly  the  in- 
junction is  obeyed !  Visitors  at  Kew  seem 
to  be  of  one  mind  in  scrupulously  obey- 
ing this  rule ;  and  no  wonder,  when 
there  are  some  hundreds  of  acres  of  soft, 
springy,  carpety  grass  upon  which  you 
may  walk  or  lie  ad  libitum — a  luxury 
which  every  American  appreciates  to  the  full. 
It  is  difficult  to  realize,  sitting  beneath  a  cluster 
of  elms  and  watching  a  group  of  children  chas- 
ing a  butterfly,  that  the  world  is  full  of  gloom 
and  misery ;  that  London  is  so  near,  with  its 
everlasting  struggle  for  bread ;  that  Turkey  is 
deluged  with  blood ;  that  there  is  any  reason 
why  everybody  should  not  be  happy.  The 
Garden  of  Eden  could  not  have  been  much 
more  beautiful  than  Kew,  and  it  certainly  was 
not  80  trim  and  neat ;  neither  had  it  so  many 
specimens  of  earth's  lavish  splendors  of  tree 
and  shrub  and  flower.  It  had  no  glass  honses 
of  tropical  plants,  no  conservatories,  no  mu- 
seums of  woods  and  seeds,  and  it  was  infested 
by  a  serpent  of  the  deadliest  powRr.  Kew  has 
certainly  the  advantage  in  this  respect — that  no 
reptile  Ls  permitted  to  disturb  its  peace.  The 
yelling  newsboy,  with  his  sheets  of  war  news,  is 
not  even  to  be  found  within  a  mile  or  two 
ot  the  gates ;  thoiigh  on  one  side  of  this  para- 
dise the  omnibuses  from  Richmond  are  running 
to  and  from  the  Bank  ot  England.  You  need 
not  know  that  There  is  nothing  to  Indicate  so 
prosaic  a  fact.  The  sounds  which  vou  boar  are 
not  the  rumblings  of  wheels,  but  the  plashing 
of  the  fountain  in  the  lake  where  tbe  great  tropi- 
cal conservatory  is  reflecting  its  crystal  walls, 
through  which  you  may  trace  the  luxurious 
treasures  which  have  been  transplanted  from 
tropical  lands,  from  Africa  and  the  Indian 
Islands,  from  South  Aranrica  and  the  Andes  of 
Colombia,  from  the  banks  of  the  Amazon  and 
the  Orinoco. 

The  history  of  Kew  Gardens,  though  devo'.d 
of  what  may  be  called  romance,  presents  some 
featuTfls  of  universal  interest.  Abont  the  mid- 
dle of  the  seventeenth  century  this  spot,  with  h 
residence  railed  Kew  Hou.s8,  belonged  to  a  Mr. 
R.  Bennett,  whose  daiiRhter  and  hebress  married 
Lord  Capel.  Through  this  union  came  a  Lady 
Elizabeth  Capel,  who  married  Mr.  Molyneani, 
Secretary  to  George  II.  when  that  monarch  was 
the  Prince  of  Wales.  Mr.  Holynoaux  was  an 
astronomer  and  a  student  of  literature.  He 
constructed  and  Imilt  up  opposite  Kew  House 
the  telescope  with  which  Dr.  Bradley  matle  his 
two  great  discoveries — the  aberration  of  light 
and  the  nutation  of  tho  earth's  axis.  This  is 
commemorated  by  a  sun-dial  erected  on  the  site 
of  the  telescope  by  William  IV.  The  Prince  of 
Wales,  son  of  George  II.  and  father  of  George 
IIL,  took  a  lease  of  Kew  House  from  the  Capel 
family  in  1730,  and  began  to  lay  out 
the  pleasure  grounds,  whioh  then  covered  270 
acres-  They  were  completed  by  his  widow,  Au- 
gusta, Princess  Dowager  of  Wales.  She  em- 
ployed Sir  W.  Chambers  to  decorate  the  grounds 
with  tetnples,  some  of  which  remain  to  this  day. 
The  Exotic  Department  was  commenced  by  this 
Princess  in  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  cen- 
tury, and  many  of  the  finest  trees  were  pre- 
sented to  her  by  Archibald,  Duke  of  Argyl, 
whom  Horace  Walpole  christened  the  Tree- 
monger.  In  1789  George  III.  bought  Kew 
House,  pulled  it  down,  and  removed  its  furni- 
ture to  an  older  maaslon,  since  known  as  Kew 
Palace,  and  once  the  property  of  Sir  Hugh  Port- 
man,  "the  rich  gentleman  who  was  knighted 
by  Queen  Elizabeth  at  Kew."  The  tinpreten- 
tions  red  brick  building  is  an  interesting  fea- 
ture ot  the  gardens.  Its  architecture  evidently 
belongs  to  the  period  of  James  or  Charles  I. 

It  has  for  English  people  the  melancholy  at- 
traction of  being  the  scene  of  Queen  Char- 
lotte's death.  In  1789  appeared  William 
Alton's  famous  botanical  work  in  three  volumes, 
the  ffortus  Keieenais,  giving  an  account  of  the 
several  foreign  plants  which  had  been  intro- 
duced into  the  £nglish  gardens  at  various 
times,  numbering  G,GOO.  Alton  died  soon 
afterward,  and  is  buried  in  the  churchyard  at 
Kew,  near  the  graves  of  his  distinguished 
friends,  Zoflany,  Meyer,  and  Gainsborough. 
Travelers  then,  as  now,  were  invited  to  collect 
vegetable  curiosities  for  Kew  Gardens ;  and  the 
voyages  round  the  world  of  the  famous  Capt. 
Cook  and  Sir  Joseph  Banks,  the  travels  of 
Capt.  Flinders  and  Sir.  Robert  Brown,  and  of 
Mr.  Allan  Cunningham  through  Australia,  the 
expeditions  ot  Bowie  and  Mason  to  Brazil 
and  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  enriohed 
the  Kew  collection  very  largely.  George  IU. 
erected  new  stoTe-honaee  and  improved  the  gar- 
dens, bnt  they  were  neglected  dtiring  the  reigns 
of  George  IV.  and  Wilflam  IV.;  but  Victoria  re- 
vived their  former  glories  and  handed  them 
over  to  the  nation,  placing  them  under  the  care 
of  the  Commissioners  ot  Woods  and  Forests  for 
the  pubns^nse. 

The  palm  stoVo-hbttse  is  the  principal  stmo- 
ture  in  the  rardsns.  It  is  302  feet  long,  100 
wide,  and  60  high.  The  sheet-glass  with  which 
it  is  glazed  is  slightly  tinged  with  green  by  the 
addition  of  oxide  of  copper,  to/ISSOity  the  tone

nnder  the  shelves  and  floor.  The  lions  of  this 
house  are  the  banana  and  plaintait-  trees  in  dif- 
ferent stages  of  flower  and  fruit,  the  screw  pine, 
the  Anstniian  Illy,  the  mango,  the  tamarind, 
the  coffee  shrub,  and  the  coral  plant  Among 
the  minor  houses  No.  VI.  is  the  most  popular. 
It  contains  a  tank  with  a  water  surface  of  about 
1,800  square  feet,  in  which  blossoms  the  giant 
lily,  called  by  its  English  discoverers  the  Vic- 
toria rtgia,  a  native  of  the  still  waters  of  the 
Amazon  basin  and  of  the  rivers  of  Guiana  and 
La  Plata.  Last  year,  on  an  ocean  steamer 
bound  for  New-York,  and  carmng  among  other 
passengers  the  two  sons  of  John  Bright,  a 
Western  preacher,  going  home  after  a 
visit  to  London,  delivered  an  address 
at  an  entert^nment  given  in  the  saloon.  His 
address  was  an  elaborate  attack  on  England, 
and  one  of  his  grievances  was  that  Great  Brit- 
ain had  stolen  a  Republican  flower  and  given  it 
the  monarchical  and  local  name  of  the  I'icforio 
regia.  The  speaker  was  in  earnest.  I  think  he 
must  have  been  badly  treated  at  one  of  those 
English  hotels  where  they  swindle  Americans 
with  persistent  impertinence.  Mr.  Bright's  eld- 
est son  made  a  brief  reply  to  the  Western  Amer- 
ican, and  spoke  of  the  United  States  in  terms  of 
warm  admiration,  meotioning  the  fadt  that  he 
had  blood  relatives  on  the  other  side, 
and  that  he  thought  the  time  had 
long  since  gone  by  when  we  ought  to 
speak  of  each  other  on  either  side  of 
the  Atlantic  as  foreigners.  The  incident  cansed 
a  good  deal  of  ^citement  on  board  the  ship, 
and  all  about  this  lovely  plant  which  with 
scores  of  other  'examples  of  tropical  America 
are  watched  over  and  cared  for  at  Kew  with 
scientific  solicitude.  D'Orbigny  flrst  mentions 
the  Victoria.  When  he  was  traveling  in  Cen- 
tral America  he  made  the  acquaintance  of 
Father  La  Cueva,  a  Spanish  missionary.  In 
one  of  their  interviews  he  happened  to  men- 
tion the  famous  botanist,  Haenke,  who  had  been 
sent  by  the  Spanish  Government  in  1801  to  in- 
vestigate the  vegetable  productions  of  Peru. 
Father  La  Cueva  told  D'Orbigny  that  he  and 
Haenke  were  in  &  pirogue  upon  the  Rio  Mamor6, 
one  of  the  great  tributaries  of  the  Amazon, 
when  they  discovered  in  the  marshes,  by 
the  side  of  the  stream,  a  flower  which  was  so 
surprisingly  beautiful  and  extraordinary  that 
Haenke,  in  a  transport  of  admiration,  fell  on 
his  knees  and  expressed  aloud  his  sense  of  the 
power  and  magnificence  of  the  Creator  and  His 
works.  They  had  seen  the  giant  water-lily,  with 
its  mighty  leaves,  specimens  of  which  we're  flrst 
sent  to  pJurope  by  M.  Bonpland  and  JI.  D'Orbi- 
guy.  Dr.  Poepigv  diSctl^ered  it  in  the  Amazon 
Basin,  and  wrote  the  first  description  of  it  in 
1833  ;  Sir  R.  H.  Schomburgh  found  it  in  1837 
iu  his  ascent  of  tho  Berbico  River,  in  British 
Guiana,  and  after  many  fruitless  efforts  it  was 
flrst  successfully  introduced  into  cultivation  in 
Europe  at  Kew  in  1840 

Monday  is  a  bank  holiday,  one  of  the  four  new 
holidays  recently  pla<^ed  in  the  calendar  by  act 
of  Parliament.  Between  now  and  noon  on 
Monday  these  gardens  will  swarm  with  excur- 
sionists from  London  and  the  suburbs.  They 
will  arrive  by  train  and  boat,  they  will  come 
and  go  in  streams,  settling  down  upon  all  tbe 
show  places  and  points  of  interest  all  around 
the  spot  where  I  am  located  for  the  dav.  and  I 
am  writing  within  a  few  miles  of  Ifampton 
Court,  Bushy  Park,  Windsor.  Staines,  and  Vir- 
ginia Water,  every  locality  full  of  historical  in- 
terest, all  of  them  endowed  with  natural  beau- 
ties. It  is  Saturday  night,  London  is  gradually 
emptying  itself  ot  the  crowds  of  poorer 
people  who  can  only  afford  a  brief  holi- 
day. Every  train  is  crowded,  every  boat 
pants  under  an  extra  load.  Tbou-sands  are  off 
to  Mnrgate  and  Ramsgate.  to  Brighton  and 
Hastings:  crowds  of  cockney  sportsmen  are 
away  to  fish  in  the  Lea  ;  hundreds  of  oarsmen 
have  put  on  their  flannels  to  navigate  the  Up- 
per Thames;  thousands  of  fathers  and  mothers 
with  their  offspring  will  picnic  In  Bushy  Park 
and  -stragcle  through  Hampton  Court,  tramping 
through  the  court-yard  where  Wolsey  walked, 
promenading  over  the  sward  where  the  only 
nappy  days  of  Charles  I.  were  spoht.  Happy 
groups  will  dot  tho  gardens  of  Kew  and 
eat  their  luncheons  on  tbe  green  outside,  or 
indulge  in  eight-penny  and  shilling  meals  at 
tho  adjacent  Tea  (iardena.  It  has  often  been 
remarked  that  the  Englishman  takes  bis  pleas- 
ure in  a  solemn  way,  and  .so  ho  does  ;  but  hia 
pleasure  is  rest,  his  holiday  is  an  interval  be- 
tween days  and  weeks  of  hard  labor  ;  and  the 
show-places  and  holiday  haunts  of  the  English 
have  peculiar  influences  for  the  class  of  persons 
in  whose  interest  bank  holidays  were  enacted. 
They  love  to  walk  where  Kinss  and  Queens 
have  walked  ;  they  like  to  look  on  ancient  walls 
and  famous  apartments  ;  they  take  an  interest 
in  tho  beds  where  monarchs  have  died  ;  they 
have  an  eye  for  fine  gardening;  they  are  willing- 
to  stare  at  grand  old  pictures,  because  they  are 
told  they  '  are  very  fine  and  costly ; 
they  take  pleasure  in  contemplating  the 
rare  properties  that  belong  to  the  na- 
tion, and  are  therefore  partly  their 
own  ;  they  like  to  fish  and  row  in  a  boat,  and 
play  at  cricket  and  ride  in  a  hackney  coach. 
And  so  when  they  have  a  holiday  and  all  tho 
stores  are  closed,  and  work  is  really  suspended 
on  all  tiands,  the  London  toiler  goes  about 
with  his  Missus  and  the  children  on  exctirsions 
hither  and  thither  to  famous  places,  staring 
about  and  wondering  at  all  he  sees,  (Irinking 
too    much   beer   possibly   between   whiles,    but 

foing  home  after  the  vacation  is  over  all  tho 
etter  for  the  glimpses  of  what  appears  to  him 
to  be  the  hapny  world  beyond  hot  and 
dusty  London.  The  women  like  to  be 
seen  out  with  their  men.  and  to  have  their  little 
ones  walking  in  front  of  them  ;  the  young  fel- 
lows like  to  stick  their  sweethearts  into  boats, 
and  row  them  to  some  public  house  by  the  river 
side,  and  treat  them  to  tea  and  shrimps.  And 
the  children  from  back  streets  and  stifling  al- 
leys, how  they  drink  in  the  sweetness  of  the 
green  fields !  Thousands  of  them  will  see  the 
gra-ss  of  the  country  for  tbe  first  time  this  year 
on  Monday  ;  the  children  who  have  been  work- 
ing "in  the  play-time  of  the  others,"  what  a 
ble.ssing  Kew  and  Bu.shy,  Hampton  and  the 
Thames  is  to  them  !  What  delicious  memories 
the  sunny  spots  of  the  valley  of  the  great  Eng- 
lish river  have  in  store  for  the  puny  infants  of 
the  east  end,  who  at  this  moment  thinK  Monday 
is  years  away,  some  of  their  little  heads  aching 
at  the  prospect  of  the  bliss  of  a  ride  lute  the 
country  and  a  whole  day  among  tbe  fields.

RESULTS  OP  THE  DISCUSSION  IN  THE    CONSTI- 
TUTIONAL      CONVENTION — THE        STATE 
OIVBN    AUTHORITY     TO     BKOULATE   THE 
PRICE  OF  FREIOHTS  AND  FARES. 
From  the  Allanla  (Qa.)  Conttitutinn,  Avg.  19. 

The  proposition  of  Mr.  Toombs  with  regard 
to  railways  bss  been  disposed  of  as  follows  :  His 
first  proposition  was  rejected  and  in  lieu  thereof  the 
substitute  of  Mr.  Reejie,  of  Morgan,  was  adopted,  as 
follows :  "■ 

"  The  t>0W6r  and  authority  of  regulatlBg  railroad 
freights  and  passenger  tariffs,  preventing  unjust  dis 
criminations,  and  requiring  reasonable  and  jast 
rates  of  freight  and  passenger  tariff^  are  hereby  con- 
ferred upon  tbe  General  Assembly,  whose  duty  it 
shall  bo  to  pass  laws,  from  time  to  time,  to  regulate 
freights  and  passenger  tariffs,  to  prohibit  unjust  dis- 
criminations on  the  various  railroads  of  this  State, 
and  to  prohibit  railroads  from  chsrgin|r  other  than 
just  and  reasonable  rates,  and  ouforce  the  same  bv 
adequate  penalties." 

Mr.  Toombs'  second  section,  to  prohibit  discrimina- 
tion  as  between  coromon  carriers,  by  abatements, 
drawbac]»,  Ac,  was  stricken  out.  His  third  proposi- 
tion, which  asserts  the  right  of  eminent  domam  to  tie 
the  same  against  corporations  as  against  individuals, 
and  that  the  Police  powers  of  the  State  shall  not  be 
abridged  so  as  to  allow  corporations  to  Infringe  the 
equal  riehts  of  individuals,  or  the  welfare  of  tho 
State,  was  passed. 

Tlie  convention  also  struck  ont  his  fourth  proposi- 
tion, whioh  was  to  authorize  private  individuals  to 
uso  the  name  of  the  State  in  efforts  to  forfeit  the 
charters  of  corporations.  The  fifth  proposition, 
which  makes  corporations  hereafter  acce'pting  any 
leffislation  made  for  their  benefit  subject  to  the 
provisions  of  the  new  Constitution,  was  adopted, 
with  a  proviso  that  they  might  aid  branch  railroads 
without  subjecting  themselves  to  the  terms  of  this 
Constitution. 

The  sixth  proposition,  which  reserved  to  the  State 
tho  ripht  to  alter,  amend,  annul,  and  withcraw  tbe 
franchises  of  corpomtiuns  when,  in  the  opinion  of  the 
General  Assembly,  the  pnblic  interest  demands  it, 
was  struck  ont.  The  seventh  proposition,  which  for- 
bade the  Legislature  from  authorising  comorations 
to  buy  the  stock  from  each  other,  when  the  etfect 
may  lie  to  defeat  or  lessen  competition  or  encourage 
monopoly,  was  passed.  The  eighth  and  ninth  sec* 
tions  were  passed  aa  follows : 

"No  provision  of  this  artiolo  shall  be  deemed,  held, 
or  taken  to  Impair  the  obligation  of  any  contract 
heretofore  made  by  the  State  of  Georgia.  The  Gen- 
eral Assembly  shall  enfore  the  provisions  of  this 
article  by  appropriate  legislation." 

The  debate  upon  these  several  articles  consnxned 
the  entire  day.  Mr.  Tnggle,  of  Troup,  moved  to  re- 
oonslder  the  action  of  the  convention  adoptingJIr. 
Warren's  substitute,  and  was  replied  to  by  ilr/War- 
ren.  The  motion  to  reconsider  was  earned.  Upon 
motion  of  Gen.  Gartrell,  the  rejection  of  the  proposi- 
tion of  Mr.  Beeee,  of  Morgan,  was  also  reconsidered, 
and,  upon  a  vote,  Mr."  Warren's  amendment  was  lost 
and  Mr.  Reese's  substitute  adopted  iu  lieu  of  the 
original  proposition  of  Gen.  Toombs.  The  discnssiou 
upon  these  and  the  other  propositions  was  encaged 
In  by  Messrs.  Reese,  of  Morgan :  Reese,  of  Wilkes  ; 
Matthews  and  Johnson,  of  Osiethorpe ;  Xawsou  and 
Hill,  of  Morgan ;  Moore,  of  Whitfield  r  Wallace,  of

Whtte  SuiiPHint  8PBINGS,     ? 
Wednesday,  Aug.  15,  1877.  $ 

The  "Wliite  Sulphinr  is  overflowing  for  the 
first  time  since  1869.  It  feeds  more  months 
to-day  than  it  ever  fed  hef ore.  The  f »et  is  more 
significant  than  might  be  anticipated,  because  it 
shows  a  revival  of  Southern  society.  The 
White  Sulphnr  has  always  been  the  chief 
Southern  resort.  So  you  may  feel  here  the 
pnlse  of  the  Gnlf  States.  It  will  be  a  general 
satisfaction  to  know  that  it  beats  to-day  with 
more  strength  and  evenness  than  it  has  since 
the  close  of  the  war.  People  generally  say  that 
tho  White  Sulphur  is  full  this  year  because  the 
political  tranquillity  permits  them  many  hopes 
for  the  future.  Also  that  the  good  crops  stimu- 
late commercial  activity,  and  secure  a  partial 
relief  from  the  flnanci^  distress  of  late  years. 
And,  (^;ain,  because  the  Centennial  took  them 
away  from  their  favorite  resort,  and  it  is 
therefore  this  year  doubly  attractive. 

The  place  Is  certainly  very  inviting  for  both 
its  natural  beauty  and  its  peculiar  social 
features.  The  Alleghany  Mountains  rise  ab- 
ruptly 1,500  feet  on  either  band  along  How- 
ard's Creek.  They  are  still  covered  with  primi- 
tive forest,  and  full  of  the  freshness  and  the 
grandeur  of  the  wilderness.  In  contrast  with 
their  gloom,  the  valley  smiles  with  smooth  pas- 
tures, orchards,  and  cheerfnl  homes.  Near  the 
head  of  the  valley  an  elevated  plateau  projects 
from  the  foot  of  Kate's  Mountain  to  the  creek. 
This  plateau,  a  valley  between  three  hills  cov- 
ered with  forest,  is  the  park  or  grounds  of  the 
White  Sulphur  Spring.  The  lawns,  terraces, 
and  walks  are  shaded  by  old  oaks,  maples,  and 
pines.  Cottages  stand-in  rows  about  the  park 
just  in  the  edge  of  the  woods.  The 
large  hotel  in  the  centre  is  a  homely 
brick  building,  containing  a  dining-room 
seating  1,400  people,  an  immense  parlor,  a  ball- 
room, lodging-rooms  and  wide  piazzas  on  three 
sides.  The  plan  of  the  Virginia  Spring  is 
suited  to  the  sunny  South.  The  people  lodging 
in  the  cottages  find  the  life  delightful  in  regard 
to  quiet,  space,  air,  and  seclusion.  The  shady 
piazzas,  walks,  and  lawns  are  indeed  very  invit- 
ing. But  when  it  rains,  those  in  the  hotels 
watch  with  some  complacency  the  hurrying  um- 
brellas issuing  from  th&  woods  and  converging 
toward  the  dining-room.  Yet,  on  the  whole, 
notwithstanding  the  showers  and  the  distance 
to  walk,  the  cottages  are  the  most  popular. 
They  certainly  seem  most  appropriate  to  a  season 
of  rest  in  the  country.  The  inmates  may  be  as 
exclusive  as  they  please  in  their  own  house  ;  or 
as  social  as  possible  in  the  parlor  and  ball-room. 
Besides,  how  many  object  to  the  consequent 
need  of  attending  the  ladles  home  in  the 
evening  ? 

The  people  here  are  the  cream  of  Southern 
society.  The  White  Sulphur  is  the  most  social 
resort  in  the  United  States.  This  is  due,  flrst, 
to  the  prevalence  of  the  Southern  element  Tbe 
people  are  hospitable,  free  and  easy  in  their 
way^<,  yet  very  polite  in  their  deportment. 
They  therefore  receive  kindly  a  stranger  who  is 
able  to  meet  them  on  equality  of  culture. 
Secondly,  the  Springs  are  under  one  manage- 
ment. Here  is  but  one  hotel,  but  one  family. 
All,  therefore,  are  brought  and  kept  together. 
Moreover,  the  cottage  system  favors  sociability, 
notwithstanding  the  separation  it  implies.  The 
cottages  are  too  plain  and  small  for  receptions. 
Their  most  cheerful  aspect  Is  In  the  afternoon, 
when  callers  sit  about  tbe  steps  and  piazzas,  and 
the  parties  are  out  of  doors.  So  every  body 
resorts  to  the  parlor  for  an  hour  or  two  after 
each  meaL  Thus,  great  facllitiea  for  making 
acquaintances  are  offered  and  accepted.  Again, 
here  are  no  natural  objects  of  remarkable  in- 
terest to  mnke  people  walk  or  ride ;  no 
ra<M58  to  collect  them  in  gay  attire ;  no 
sea  bathing,  no  fishing,  no  regattas — in  short,  no 
out-door  festivals  of  any  kind  to  draw  people 
away  from  the  parlor  and  the  ball-room,  i  et, 
although  the  routine  of  life  here  is  remarkably 
imeventful,  everybody  has  a  good  time,  thanks 
to  the  social  facilities  offered  by  the  arrange- 
ments and  the  customs  of  tbe  place.  Bancini; 
and  flirting  are  the  main  occupations.  Three  or 
fou^  Oermans  every  week  and  a  ball  every  even- 
ing are  the  regular  course  of  events  from  the  Ist 
of  July  to  the  loth  of  September. 

The*  Lee  Monument  Ball,  at  the  White  Sul- 
phur, is  the  great  festival  of  Southern  springs. 
The  ball  is  given  in  the  great  dining-room, 
•SI 7  feet  long.  Lamps  and  two  locomotive  head- 
lights illuminate  the  place,  but  not  so  well  as 
the  ball-room  is  lightea  by  its  chandeliers.  The 
German  began  at  1  A.  M,,  after  supper.  It 
is  the  general  opinion  that  tbe  company  present 
contains  the  greatest  number  "of  beautiful  wo- 
men and  fine  costumes  ever  assembled  here. 
This  successful  season  the  White  'Sulphur  is 
crowded  with  talent  and  beauty  from  the  chief 
South6m  cities.  Some  infantry  from  Rich- 
mond and  \VheeUng  encamped  on  one 
of  the  h  ills  in  the  grounds  adds  a  new 
feature  to  the  view  and  swells  the  crowds 
of  people. 

Even  this  haven  of  rest  and  pleasure 
is  not  free  from  political  storms.  The  last 
gust  is  from  Missl^ippi,  Gen.  Stephen  D. 
Lee  being  the  mouthpiece.  This  morning  at  a 
review  of  the  volunteer  companies  he  compli- 
mented them  on  their  appearance  and  drill,  and 
referred  to  the  necessity  of  keeping  up  the  vol- 
unteer organizations,  shown  by  their  usefulness 
in  the  late  riot.  He  complimented  the  First 
Virginia  Regiment  as  the  first  to  enter  tiie  Con- 
federate service.  He  complimented  also  the 
Mathews  Light  Guard  for  their  services  in  the 
riot,  and  iu  speaking  of  their  uniform  said  it 
was  known  before  the  war  only  as  the  gray,  but 
now  it  bad  the  added  honor  of  being  Confed- 
erate gray.  He  then  paid  a  glowing  tribute  to 
the  soldiers  of  the  Confederacy,  and  spoke  of 
the  gray  uniform  as  the  only  relic  of  a  lost 
cause.  But  his  peroration  was  hopeful  He 
said  that  the  Confederate  gray  worn  by  the 
yonng  men  of  the  present  day  is  a  bright  augury 
for  the  future.  During  all  these  compliments 
and  auguries  there  stood  a  company  in  the 
Federal  blue.  But  he  said  never  a  word 
for  their  consolation.  No  one  oensurea  this 
speech  for  what  it  contains :  but  all  cbndemn 
it  for  its  lack  of  equality,  not  to  consider  the 
dues  of  hospitality.  The  close  was  received  in 
silence.  So  it  wae  arranged  that  Gov.  Hampton 
should  be  serenaded  this  evening,  that  Gov. 
Mathews,  in  presenting  him,  might  speak  some 
good  words  to  remove  tho  bad  effect.  But  the 
serenade  has  been  postponed  till  to-morrow,  and 
we  must  go  to  bed  with  .the  taste  of  Mississippi 
in  our  mouths. 

Among  the  prominent  guests  at  the  Springs 
are  Gen.  J.  E.  Johnston  and  wife.  Virginia ;

SUICIDE    OF    HB.    PBANK   A.  THOBNTON,   OF 
ICABTLAND,     TWO     WEEKS     A17KB    THE 
DEATH  OF  HIS  WIFE. 
From  the  Baltimore  Ameriean,  Ai»ff.  24. 

The  intelligence  of  the  suicide  by  landannm 
of  Fnnk  A.  Thornton,  the  son-in-law  of  John  T. 
Ford,  the  theatrical  manager,  came  with  a  great 
shock  yesterday,  following  so  soon  upon  the  lament- 
able death  of  Mrs.  Thornton,  Mr.  lord's  eldest 
daughter.  The  name  of  Ai^nle  Ford  was  almost  a 
"household  word"  here  for  many  years,  and  not 
content  with  lending  comfort  to  afflicted  famflies  by 
deeds  of  kindness  and  plons  counsel,  she  lent  her 
talents  to  enriching  the  annals  of  dramatic  literature. 
Two  years  ago  she  formed  the  acquaintance  o*"  Frank 
A.  Thornton,  then  about  35  years  of  age,  and  in  him 
found  a  kindred  taste  for  literature.  He  was  attrac- 
tive in  person,  with  cnltore  and  wide  experience, 
reckless,  perhaps,  at  times,  bat  Withal  just  the  sort 
of  person  to  interest  one  of  her  inclination.  He  was 
the  son  of  Purser  Thornton,  of  the  United  States 
Nary,  from  whom  he  had  a  handsome  inheritance. 
The  stately  mansion,  surronnded  by  picturesque 
grounds,  now  occuuied  by  W.  W.  Spence,  at  the  in- 
tersection of  HoflEman  and  Bolton  streets,  was  his 
father's  place.  His  family  was  exceptionally  good, 
and  his  mother  and  sisters  are  now  living  on  Entaw- 
place,  highly  esteemed  by  all  who  know  them.  He 
was  a  frequent  visitor  at  Mr.  Ford's  house,  and  evi- 
dently fonnd  favor  in  Miss  Annie's  eyes.  He  was  in- 
fatuatod  with  her  and  paid  her  devoted  attention. 
On  one  occasion  Miss  Ford  went  awav  from  the  city 
to  a  Summer  resort  with  a  lady  friend,  and  he  fol- 
lowed her.  He  was  taken  sick  while  there,  and  she 
attended  him  assiduously,  with  as  much  regard  as  her 
true  womanly  delicacy  would  allow.  This  act  seemed 
to  strengthen  hia  devotion. 

Her  sympathy  for  him  kindled  a  warmer  feeling. 
He  argued  that  her  influence  had  elevated  and 
strenfithened  him,  and  there  is  little  doubt  that 
this  thought  was  one  of  the  main  influences  that 
brought  abont  her  consent  to  marry  him.  On  the 
23d  of  last  June  they  were  married  at  St.  Martin's 
Catholic  Church.  It  had  been  arranged  beforehand, 
and  he  had  purchased  a  place  near  Bladensburg.  on 
the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad,  in  anticipation  of 
the  event.  They  left  immediately  for  this  new  coun- 
try home,  which  he  had  fitted  np  in  a  way  to  please 
her  tastes.  A  few  days  afterward  she  visited  Balti- 
more, and  upon  returning  took  a  young  brother  with 
her  as  a  companion.  After  that  her  visits  to  ^ti- 
more  were  rare.  Her  relatives  supposed,  however, 
that  she  was  well  and  happy. 

/  A  week  ajpo  lafit_  Wednesday  the  young  wife  died 
very  suddenlv.  No  one  was  near  except  her  hus- 
band. Her  death  was  unexpected,  and  its  announce- 
ment threw  all  her  relatives  Into  the  deepest  grief. 
Ever  since  her  death  her  hosband  has  acted  in  a 
strange  manner.  On  different  ocrasions  he  has  vis- 
ited the  room  where  she  died  and  has  shown  ereat 
mental  excitement.  Lately  he  went  to  Washington, 
and  while  with  friena.s  talked  wildly  abont  being 
crazed  with  gri«f,  and  on  one  occasion  floari^hed  a 
revolver.  On  Wednesday  he  inrited  a  friend  in  Wash- 
ington to  go  and  drive  with  him  to  Pairfleld,  the  place 
near  Blaaensburg,  and  while  driving;  mit  asked  the 
friend  if  he  would  take  care  of  him  if  he  committed 
suicide.  The  fnend  did  not  think  him  in 
earnest.  Upon  reaching  the  house  Mr,  Thorn- 
ton went  to  the  room  where  hia  wife  died, 
and  throwing  himself  on  the  bed.  wept  like  a  child. 
Mr.  Schaefer.  his  friend,  Induced  him  to  come  down 
stairs,  and  sueceeded  in  calming  him.  Abont  1  P.  M. 
Mr.  Thornton  said  ho  wanted  lo  rest  for  a  while,  and 
went  to  his  late  wife's  room  and  lay  on  the  bed  where 
she  died.  An  hour  later,  when  a  servant  came  to  call 
him,  he  was  found  in  a  dying  condition.  By  his 
side  was  a  vial  which  had  contained  over  an  ounce 
of  laudanum.  It  was  the  same  vial  containing  the 
laudanum  which  his  wife  bad  used  during  her  last  ill- 
ness to  alleviate  'pain,  and  he  had  preserved  it.  In  a 
short  while  he  died  from  the  effects  of  die  poison. 
His  remains  will  be  interred  in  Oak  Hill  Cemetery, 
Georgetown. 

The  relatives  of  the  deceased  In  this  city  were  sad- 
ly grieved  by  the  news  of  his  death.  HLs  mother  is 
ill.  and  has  not  been  Informed  of  the  eircnmstances  as 
yet,  lest  the  shock  might  prove  disastrous.  Commo- 
dore Emmons  and  Capt.  Perkins,  of  the  United 
States  Navy,  married  sisters  of  the  deceased. 

THE  FIRST  BULL  RXTN. 


A  STEVBEB  OF  GEN.     JOE.   JOHNSTON'S  STAFF 
TELLS    WHY  THE  REBELS     DID     NOT  AT- 
TEMPT TO  CAPTaRB  WASHINGTON. 
Erom  the  LouirviUe  Worker,  Aug.  2*2. 

The  Mobile  Regutter  denies  by  authority  that 
ex-President  Davis  intends  to  criticise  Gen.  Joseph 
E.  Johnston  severely  in  his  forthcoming  memoir,  or 
to  charge  upon  him  the  responsibility  for  the  failure 
to  pursue  the  Federal  forces  into  Washington  after 
the  battle  of  Manassas, 

3fr.  Davis  is  a  man  of  too  much  good  sense  ever  to 
have  dreamed  of  assailing  Gen.  Johnston  upon  snch 
a  proposition  as  this.  Having  been  npon  Gen.  John- 
ston's staff  at  that  battle,  and  knowing  folly  all  the 
preceding  negotiations  relative  to  the  permission 
granted  for  a  junction  of  the  two  Confederate  am£es, 
we  happen  to  be  in  a  position  to  say 
that  no  one  could  reflect  upon  Gen-  Johnston 
for  any  act  connected  there^rith-  The  authorities  in 
Richmond  did  not  assent  to  the  march  of  Gen.  John- 
ston until  Patterson  had  made  his  feint  by  moving 
sonth  from  Martinsburg.  Gen.  Whiting,  our  Adju- 
tant-General, screamed  einltingly  to  the  writer,  as  he 
rode  full  speed fromthe  telegraph  office,  "  We'vegotit 
at  last."  And  our  troops  were  then  in  line  of  battle, 
expecting  an  assault  from  the  forces  of  Patterson, 
magnified  by  rumor  Into  30,(K>O,  when  we  had  less 
thau  l",OO0  effective  men.  The  moment  Patterson 
turned  aside  to  Charleston,  eight  miles  distant,  "Old 
Joe  "  pouaeed  upon  his  objective  point  with  the  celerity 
of  a  auck  upon  a  June  Dug.  He  read  (Jen.  Scott's 
plans,  and  knew  by  instinct  that  the  Federal  Army 
was  being  massed  npou  Manassas,  to  crush  the  in- 
ferior forces  of  Beauregard.  We  marched  without 
regard  to  comfort  or  equipment,  and  within  two 
hours  of  the  report  that  Patterson's  army  had  turned 
from  Its  southern  course,  "  Old  Joe"  had  "  skipped," 
and  his  columns  were  clearing  the  bright  waters  of 
the  Shenandoah.  He  knew  Implicitly  that  he  had 
not  a  day  to  lose,  perhaps  not  an  hour :  for 
he  read  unerringly  that  Patterson's  mission  had  been 
performed.  We  reached  Manassas  in  the  nick  of 
lime.  We  had  brought  no  tents  for  the  army, 
and  there  were  none  to  be  had.  The  writer  had  the 
thoughtfnlness  to  put  his  large  tent  in  hie  spring 
wagon,  and  that  was  our  shelter  for  head-quarters. 
That  was  a  busy  night  of  our  arrival  We  were  to 
march  upon  the  enemy,  and  orders  were  sent  to  the 
various  brigades  to  march  at  daylight.  Several  did 
cross  Bull  Run.  Bnt  for  a  fierce  cannonading  npon  onr 
centre  at  sunrise,  which  Johnston  and  Beauregard 
both  knew  was  only  a  feint,  indicative  of  some  actual 
movement,  we  would  have  marched  to  the  Federal 
rear,  and  the  first  battle  of  Manassas  would  have 
been  fought  by  each  army,  cut  off  from  its  reserve  ! 

if  the  original  intent  of  onr  two  Generals,  in  their 
interchange  of  riews  for  two  weeks,  had  bfen  carried 
ont  by  permission  of  the  [Confederate]  War  Depart- 
ment, Gen.  .Johnston  would  have  marched  through 
London  from  \Vinche5ter  to  the  rear  of  Gen.  Mc- 
Dowell, while  Beauregard  attacked  in  front.  That 
was  their  plan  ;  and  it  it  had  been  carried  ont  tiie 
whole  Federal  Army  would  have  been  captured  and 
Washington  was  a  defenseless  capitaL  The  recogni- 
tion of  the  South  by  Europe  and  a  cessation  of  hos- 
tilities might  have  followed-  The  reason  of  refasal 
to  carry  out  this  plan  was  doubtless  the  fear  of  defeat 
and  a  loss  of  the  cause,  which  prudence  dictated  could 
best  be  maintuned  by  a  defensive  war. 

It  was  impossible  for  the  Confederate  troops  to 
have  followed  the  defeated  Union  forces.  They  had 
no  transportation  in  wJiich  to  carr>-  their  provisions 
and  mnnitions.  And  as  Gen.  Johnston  remarked  to 
the  writer  several  days  thereafter,  on  being  told 
what  Arnold  Harris  -said  abont  Wa.shington  being 
ready  to  surrender :  "It  would  have  been  madness 
for  onr  army,  raw  troops  as  they  were,  lo  have  been 
thrown  against  the  intrenchments  at  Arlington,  even 
if  our  transportation  had  been  effective.  Who  could 
suppose  tliat  Gen.  Scott  had  neglected  to  man  his 
works  f  And  who  bat  a  lunatic  would  lead  troops 
from  an  exhaustive  battle-field  against  probably 
equal  numbers  of  fresh  troops  behind  mtrench- 
ments  T" 

Arnold  Harris  had  come  into  our  lines  from  Wash- 
ington to  ^t  the  dead  l>ody  of  Col.  Cameron,  and  as 
an  old  friend  of  the  writer  he  talked  freely  with 
him  abont  the  scenes  in  Washington  following  the 
disaster, 

A  SZTBSTDY  SPEAKER  NOT  WAHTED. 
The  Rochester  Union,  a  Democratic  i>aper,  in 
its  issue  of  the  23d  inst.  says  :  "If  there  be  any 
one  thing  for  which  the  men  of  the  South  and  tfaeir 
partners  at  the  Korth  who  favor  a  subsidy  to  the 
Texas  Pacific  Railroad  are  dlatingnished  more  than 
another,  it  Is  their  sagacity  in  wr^WTtg  political  bar- 
gains, Thoy  are  not  in  the  habit  of  getting  '  sold  * 
or  of  bargaining  away  their  strength  without  the 
certainty  of  the  return  they  seek  for  it,  Tbe  game, 
evidently,  is  to  '  sell'  the  more  credulous  and  more 
easily  doped  men  North  and  South,  who  hare  no 
selfish  Interests  at  stake  and  tv ho  act  solely  for  the 
good  of  the  country.  It  is  all  very  well  to  tell  the 
people  that  "hit.  Randall  Is  not  committed  in  favor  of 
the  Texas  snbaidy  job.  Bnt  is  he  com-

that  is  what  the  people  demand  to  Know  of 
any  man  who  aspires  to  the  Democratic  Speaker-

sentatives. In  the  present  situation,  he  who  is 
not  openly  and  nneqolvocally  against  Government 
subsioies  to  corporations  must  be  regarded  as  for 
them.  And  no  second-hand  assurances  through 
newspapers  or  other  channels  can  be  accepted  as 
good  for  anything.  Aa  Mr.  Randall  stands  before 
the  country  to-dav,  he  Is  in  faror  of  Tom  Scott's

It  may  be  truthfully  said  that  the  problem  ot 
dvH  servln  in  the  United  States  la  as  Tminr^  tbat  of 
any  othernation  as  the  great  principles  i^Km  whlcih. 
onr  GoTSRunent  is  based  are  TiniiVe  those  of  aay  of 
the  great  clrilixed  powers  of  the  globe.  Ths  grmlk 
nnderiyisg  principle  of  onr  State  and  Katiacial 
Governments  is  the  equal  representation  ot  tiia 
people  in  every  branch  of  them.  It  is  most  ean- 
fuBy  enforced  in  the  l^islatlve  branohfia.  It  hai 
great  wei^t  in  appointments  made  in  the  jnffleUI 
branch.  Cabinet  officers  are  apportioned  as  '^'^ftilhr 
among  the  several  sections  of  the  Union  as  c 
stances  wHl  admit,  and  the  same  principle  is  ) 
wisely  embodied  in  the  n^ethoda  by  which  our  Amy 
and  Navy  are  officered.  In  view  of  this  prindplo  aai 
the^e  faetv  it  is  apparent  that  any  wise  and  aeoep^ 
able  plan  of  civil  service  will  necessarily  embody 
these  general  ideas  : 

I.  A  fair  apportionment  of  aQ  dvH  offieen,  not' 
otherwise  provided  for  by  the  Constitntiaa  mad 
laws,  among  the  Congressional  districts  of  thesev». 
ral  States. 

II.  Open,  local,  and  competitive  ezamtnaUmis  to 
fill  vacancies,  to  be  held  in  the  districts  the  quotas  ocC 
which  are  not  ftalL 

IIL  Cureful  regulations  to  secure  the  examJnatltti 
of  none  but  worthy  and  competent  persona. 

rv.  The  appointment  of  a  commission  to  aaper- 
vise  and  enforce  the  regulations  governing  appoint- 
ments to  the  civil  serrice. 

To  carry  ont  a  plan  of  dvil  service  founded  !n  aa 
cordance  with  the  foregoing  principles,  the  foliowtnc 
general  outlines  of  a  system  are  offered  for  ooa- 
aideration : 

1.  The  appointment  of  seven  ComnussloneB  who 
shall  supersede  the  seven  appointment  cluka  now  in 
the  departments,  and  thereby  not  add  to  the  preaent 
number  of  officers,  who  shall  form,  a  board  to  be 
known  as  the  Board  of  Civil  Service,  and  which  shall 
have  direct  snper^'ision  of  appointments,  promotions, 
and  removals  in  each  and  iill  of  tbe  boreans  and 
divisions  of  the  great  departments  of  the  Govern- 
ment, under  snch  regulations  as  shall  be  hereafter 
prorided-  One  of  those  Commissioners  shall  repre- 
sent  the  Executive  Department,  (the  President,)  omr

Office  and  the  I^epartmenta  of  State,  Treasniy, 
Justice,  and  Interior.  .

bnt  one-third  of  those  first  appointed  shall  vacate 
their  positions  at  the  end  of  two  years  and  one-third 
at  the  end  of  four  years,  to  be  determined  bv  lot  ot 
otherwise,  so  that  every  two  years  there  shall  be  two 
new  appointments  for  this'  board.  The  sevezuh 
Commi-sioner  shall  be  appointed  for  the  Presidential 
term  (four  years.)  to  represent  the  presiding  ofllear 
of  (lie  board-  The  President  shall  always  appohit 
a  clerk  for  the  board,  and  such  additional  elerka

assistant  secretaries  of  the  departments  tney  repre- 
sent,  and  receive  such  jiay  as  may  herE-..Lfter  be  ff^Md- 
fied.  Four  memljers  shall  constitute  a  quorum  foe

the  matter  for  legislative  action,  and  trust  to  tho 
wi'tdom  and  patrioUsm  of  our  law-makers  to  uphold 
the  President  in  efforts  to  pnrify  the  mnch-aoused 
ciril  service  system.  In  the  meantime,  the  Prealdeac 
desires  a  public  discufwion  of  the  points  above  pre- 
sented, in  order  that  there  may  be  a  full  understand- 
ing of  the  subject  when  the  time  arrives  for  dafouie 
action.  '  ^^^

From  the  St  Paul  CiTinn.)  Pumeer-Freet,  Auy.  21, 

The  investigation  of  the  pine  land  frauds 
which  have  been  peipetrated  upon  the  Getieral  Gov^ 
emment  in  the  State  ctf  Minneaota  for  many  yeari 
past  still  eontinnea,  and  new  devejopemente  are  daily 
taking  place.  A  large  number  of  oomplaints  against 
trespassers  upon  the  public  domain  have  been  made, 
bnt  details  are  not  yet  made  public  The  action  o£ 
the  Govemntent  is  prindpally  devoted  at  present 
to  detecting  instancec  of  etealing  Government  timber 
within  the  past  year,  and  to  recovering  the  sudaa 
goods  as  far  aa  possible.  The  names  of  thetrea* 
passers  are  known,  and  aa  fa^  as  they  can  be  reaehad 
by  the  United  States  Man>hall,  and  his  asaistanca 
they  will  be  called  upon  to  hand  over  tbe  nine  logs, 
mllroad  ties,  and  cord  wood  which  thev  took  the  lib- 
erty of  removing,  without  authority,  from  the  Gov- 
ernment lands.  The  depredations  tbnafar  unearthed 
amount  to  7.000.000  or  8,0(X),000  feet  of  logs,  15,- 
OOOor  20.000  cords  of  wood,  and  many  thonsand 
railroad  ties,  the  value  of  which  is  not  known,  buU 
will  appfoximate  to  perhaps  $100,000.  ThisTbe  1« 
observed,  covert  only  the  depredations  of  a  ahigla 
year,  and  a  year,  too.  In  which  an  unusually  amalJ 
amount  of  logging  and  lumbering  was  earned  on- 
Now,  the  prospects  are  that  the  t^ovemment  will  re- 
cover the  value  of  nearly  all  this  stolen  propeorty, 
and  if  similar  satisfactory  results  follow  troio 
Investigations  of  the  trespaases  during  previoo/ 
and  more  prosperous  years,  the  Kationu  Traaant^ 
will  be  considerably  benefited  by  these  pfne  land  ei>

gCEIBNKB'S  UAOAZnOC. 
—Out  of  oompUment  to  the  hot  months  in 
WUch  the   September  m&gazines   mske  their 

'Prauatare  appearance,  Scribner's  has  an  article 
by  SUrarice  Mauris  on  the  fan.  A  long  list  of 
pwtty  illoatratlons  shows  the  fan  m  It  w»s  used 
bjr  kncieDt  natiens  and  is  to  be  found  among 
the  modems.    A  story  is  told  of  Goldonl,   the 

'  Kalian  dramatist,  that  being  one  evening  the 
piMt  of  a  Venetian  ladj,  he  \ras  complimented 
by  her4>n  the  DrodoctlTeness  of  his  genios: 

"  '  Why.  my  lady.'  he  replied,  '  anything  is  a  good 
aabjact  for  a  coniedy.' 

"  •  Anything  t'  rejoined  the  l«dy. 

I'  ■  Anything. '  emphaticaUy  replied  the  dranutist. 
*  Eren  this  fan  V  infilBtea  the  beanty. 

"  At  thequntionUoIdoniseenied  stmckby  a  happy 
fooiuht,  and  exclaimed,  '  I  shall  be  Indebted  to  yon 
*or  line — yon  have  tnggasted  to  roe  my  i)est  comedy  : 
In  a  week  yon  shall  rejui  it.'  And  he  kept  liis  prom- 
ye  :  the  toy  in  liis  hand  became  the  nnclens  of  nnm- 
oerleia  Intriguea  and  oomicjii  situationa." 

The  article  on  "  The  Land  of  the  Arabian 
Nights"  recalls  with  its  &rst  illnstration  the 
tn^  edition  of  that  worlc.  Lane's  translation, 
which  has  amused  so  many  young  readers.  It 
repreaents  Stndbad  the  sailor.  William  H. 
Rideing  furnishes  a  leading  paper  on 
the  passage  of  the  immigrant  through  onr 
City.  The  illostrations  are  especially  elabo- 
rate, and  several  by  Kelly  quite  remarkable 
Cor  Tigor  and  a  qoicl^  feeling  of  the  truth.  The 
■rtlst  has  evidently  studied  on  the  spot,  and 
sires  each  scene  in  its  broad  lines,  without  la- 
iKnionsly  finishing  his  sketches.  A  utilitarian 
paper  comes  from  J.  W.  Pinkham,  and  instructs 
In  &e  right  manner  to  iiave  wells  and  cisterns 
ihig.  The  work  of  Alfred  Rimmer  on  pictur- 
aMiae  localities  and  architecture  of  England  fur- 
nishes a  very  pleasant  review.  One  of  the ' 
"  Three  Excursions  "  made  by  Mr.  Henry  James, 
Jr.,  and  chronicled  in  the  Galaxy  for  September 
U  to  Hatfield  House.  He  speaks  of  a  tradition 
that  it  was  planned  and  erected  by  its  first 
owner,  a  Cecil,  but  finds  no  corroboration.  Ln 
the  article  in  Scritntr'a  we  are  told  that  the  old 
pl«ce  which  Mr.  James  describes  was  built  by  an 
architect  named  John  Thorpe,  whose  memory 
was  preserved  from  oblivion  by  Walpole.  In  a 
folio  of  his  designs  is  one  house  intended  for 
his  own  occupation.  It  is  f  antasticaUf  designed, 
forming  the  letters  J  and  T,  joined  by  a  corri- 
dor.    Beneath  is  the  stanza  : 

■•  These  two  letters.  I  and  T. 
Joined  together  as  yon  see, 
Make  a  dweUing-hoose  for  me. 

.TOHS  THORPE." 
"  Onr  story  concerns  a  very  brief  epitaph  which  he 
composed  for  himself  in  his  last  illness.  Some  of  his 
fxiends  were  as'iced  by  him  to  prodnce  an  epitaph 
which  wonld  rhyme,  and  yet  be  very  sliort.  He  ont- 
dld  all  their  prodnctions  by  himself  composing 
"Thorpe's  Corpse.'  " 

Natural  history  receives  duo  notice  from 
Sophie  B.  Herrick,with  a  paper  on  "  Microscopi- 
cal Corals ; "  Dr.  S.  51.  Burnett  gives  advice  as 
to  the  use  and  care  of  the  eyesntnd  Charles  T. 
Thwing  sums  up  the  requirement  and  studies 
In  the  leading  colleges  of  the  country,  with  the 
Idea  of  arriving  at  some  conclusion  by  compar- 
ing the  stfbtistics  of  a  certain  numlier  of  institu- 
tions, each  selected  as  typical  of  a  group  of  others. 
The  conclusions  are  not  drawn ;  the  paper  is 
only  a  collection  of  statements.  Fiction  is  sup- 
plied by  the  two  serials'  that  have  been  rtinning 
heretofore — Dr.  Holland's  "Nicholas  Mintum" 
and  Adeline  Traf ton's  '*  His  Inheritance." 
Prances  Hodgson  Burnett  supplies  a  short 
story,  in  her  tisual  dramatic  and  forcible 
Tein.  "  Lodnsky "  is  a  girl  in  the  mount- 
ain districts  of  North  Carolina,  whose 
_pectiliar  physical  beauty  and  intensity  of 
^character  cause  a  young  painter  to  deviate 
ftom  his  fidelity  to  his  lady  love.  The  drawling 
prontmciation  of  Sotitbem  mountaineers  is  ad- 
mirably caught,  and  a  scene  where  two  young 
men  quarrel  over  Lodu.t}ky  is  most  excellent. 
Mrs.  Burnett  understands  not  only  how  to  work 
ont  the  large  lines  of  her  scenes  and  plots,  but 
the  filling  up  ;  the  texture  of  her  work  never 
mars  the  general  efifect,  as  is  so  often  the  case, 
especially  with  woman-writers.  The  end  does 
not  quite  justify  the  expectations  of  the  begin- 
ning, either  because  we  expect  a  more  vigorous 
poniahment  for  the  wavering  lover,  or  because 
we  are  not  allowed  to  follow  Lodusky  out  into 
the  great  world  and  its  wickedness,  for  both  of 
which  Lodnsky  has  a  deep,  inherited  yearning. 
We  only  catch  a  glimpse  of  her  at  the  opera  in 
Paris,  where  she  is  being  as  wicked  andwell- 
dreased  as  she  desired.  It  Mrs.  Burnett  tends 
to  the  tragic,  Mr.  Edward  Bellamy  has  a  healthy 
-ttste  for  the  comic  His  sketch  called  "  Hook- 
ing Water-melons  "  has  his  usual  amount  of 
quiet  humor.  The  poetry  of  the  month  consists 
of  »  sonnet  by  D.  S.  Foster,  on  the  "  Cricket," 
a  few  lines  by-  Mrs.  S.  M.  B.  Piatt ;  "  The 
False  Oracle,"by  MaryAingedeVere.and  "The 
Mirage  of  the  Desert,"  by  Elizabeth  C.  Kinney. 
Mr.  Clarence  Cook  will  surprise  his  readers  of 
articles  on  furniture  by  some  very  good  verses, 
entitled  "A  Portrait."  and  Mr.  B.  H.  Stoddard 
gtrea  xis  some  -jovial  stanzas  "  At  Merry 
Mount."  In  the  Old  Cabinet  will  be  found  a 
poem  by  Mr.  Gilder,  on  "Nature,"  which  dis- 
covers him  in  a  curious  attitude  toward  her, 
almost  that  of  fear.  In  addition  to  foreign  ar- 
ttetos  in  this  month's  Scribner,  there  la  one  on 
"JTorida,"  by  Julia  B.  Dodge,  containinga  num- 
ber of  excellent  products  of  Thomas  Moran's 
fraeU.  

THE  OALAXT. 

—Both  the  Army  and  Navy  have  articles 
deroted  to  them  in  the  Galaxy  for  September. 
Inae  Newton  tells  over  again  the  story  of  tor- 
pedo warfare,  its  first  beginning  with  Bushnell 
and  Fulton,  the  use  of  submarine  mines  in  the' 
Crimean  irar,  and  the  long  list  of  gallant  ves- 
aela  of  the  Union  sent  to  the  bottom  during  the 
late  war  by  this  insldiotis  foe.  Mr.  Newton's 
paper  Is  headed  "  Has  the  Day  of  Great  Navies 
Paased  1"  but  his  text  gives  only  an  affirmatory 
•nswer. 

"  It  Li  now  conceded  by  the  best  authorities  that 
a  movable  torpedo,  to  be  a  practical  weapon,  anlted 
to  the  exacting  conditions  of  actoal  warfare,  must 
have,  liTBt.  high  speed,  {not  less  than  12  Icnots ; )  sec- 
ond, most  progress  under  water  at  any  desired  depth; 
third,  mnst  carrr  an  explosive  charge  equal  in  force 
to  not  less  than  500  pounds  of  gnn-cotton,  (wlllch  is 
equal  to  about  one  ton  of  gunpowder ; )  and  f oiu'th, 
must  be  under  the  complete  control,  with  respect  to 
■teerini?,  of  the  officers  directing;  it,  from  the  time  it 
is  pat  in  motion  until  it  strikes  the  side  of  the  vessel 
attacked.  Some  naval  men  go  so  far  as  to  say  that 
•  nnleas  these  exact  conditions  are  met  no  amount  of 
Sngennlty  and  mechanical  skill  will  make  movable 
loipedoes  anything  more  tbai^  mechanical  curios- 
ttiefc" 

The  Lay  torpedo  is  said  to  be  too  complicated 
and  bulky  for  sticcess,  but  the  Exicsson  tubular- 
oaUs  pneumatic  torpedo,  with  which  experi- 
ments are  now  being  made  by  the  Ordnance 
Department  of  the  Navy,  is  supposed  to  fulfill 
aUtho  requirements.  R.  Davey  contributes  a 
notice  of  the  life  and  death  of  Inez  de  Castro. 
Queen  of  Portugal,  of  whose  tragical  fate 
Cunoens  has  snng  In  the  Lusiad.  Albert 
'Bhodes  discusses  the  temperance  question,  and 
Edidn  Ellis  tells  in  good  style  a  pathetic 
ftory  of  Florentine  life  called  "  Lucia  Berto- 
aalU.''  S.  G.  Young  repeats  the  old  descriptions 
of  'Venice,  and  Lucy  H.  Hooper  translates  four 
i^fT^.T  from  JJes  ChatinunU  of  'Victor  Hugo. 
There  is  another  paper  by  Heniy  James,  Jr.,  on 
Tiiwg««h  every-da;  life  and  evory-day  scenes, 
called  "  Three  EionrsiGna.''  The  first  excur- 
■fant  is  to  Epsom  races ;  tho  second  to  an  English 
nobleman's  conntry  seat,andthethirdtoOxford. 
fwMn  McCarthy's  serial,  "Miss  Misanthrope," 
eontinnes  its  career,  and  Mr.  E.  Q.  White  dis- 
eonnes  this  month  on  -"Americanisms."  There 
to  a  "  Chapter  on  Oddities,"  devoted  chiefiy  to 
tfa*  hnmor  of  tombstones.  The  United  States 
,Aimy  is  the  subject  of  an  essay  by  F.  Whittaker. 
Be  shows  with  what  a  niggardly  spirit  Congress

the  prevention  of  bloodshed  and  the  support  of

of  BepresentatiTes  refused  to  vote  any  supplies 
for  the  Army  unless  the  troops  were  compelled 
to  abstain  from  intnferenee  in  the  political 
trouble  of  Kansas,  and  the  Army  was  deprived 
of  its  appropriation  in  1859. 


LIPPnrCOTT'S  ILAOAZINE. 

— The  illustrated  paper  for  September  is  by 
E.  C.  Bruce,  who  makes  a  light  sketch  of  the 
Kabyles  or  Berbers,  mountain  tribes  of  North 
Africa  tributary  to  the  French.  .  Charlotte 
Adams  tells  us  about  a  celebrated  to-wn  of 
I  northern  Italy  in  a  paper  on  "  A  Paduan  Holi- 
j  day,"  which  contains  one  or  two  wood-cuts  of 
the  variety  tisual  in  this  magazine.  The  female 
figures  in  several  of  these  illustrations  fix  the 
date  of  their  date  about  20  years  ago,  to  judge 
from  the  style  of  their  dress.  Rebecca  Harding 
Davis  gets  on  ifith  the  serial  "  A  Law  Unto  Her- 
self," and  Neckart,  the  New-York^  editor  "witii 
incipient -softening  of  the  brain,  confesses  his 
love  to  Jane  without  seeing  how  he  can  marry 
her.  A  paper  which  will  be  read  in  Pennsyl- 
vania and  New-Jersey  with  peculiar  interest 
is  that  on  Mme.  Patterson-Bonaparte.  In 
1S03  Jerome  Bonaparte  married  a  Hiss 
Patterson,  a  beautiful  girl  of  Baltimore,  and 
this  paper  seems  to  have  been  written  by  a  per- 
sonal friend  or  relative  of  her  family.  The 
dress  worn  by  Miss  Patterson  when  she  was 
first  seen  by  Jerome  is  fully  described.  It  is  said 
that  New-Jersey  earned  its  title  of  a  "foreign 
country"  from  the  fact  that  one  of  the  Bona- 
partes  bought  and  handsomely  laid  out  a  large 
country  seat  at  Bordentown,  on  the  banks  of 
the  Delaware ;  for  the  State  that  could  boast  a 
King  -was  a  kingdom,  and  as  kingdoms  could 
not  fit  into  the  definition  of  the  United  States 
the  irresistible  logic  of  all  persons  not  of  New- 
Jersey  causeil  them  to  insist  on  considering 
that  land  of  red  clay  a  foreign  realm.  The 
story  of  Miss  Patterson's  life,  as  told  here, 
proves  that  it  was  she,  and  not  any  member  of 
the  Bonaparte  family,  who  could  boast  of  any- 
thing liko  a  royal  side  to  tho  character,  for 
Jerome's  conduct  was  always  weak.  She,  how- 
ever, would  not  yield  in  any  way,  and  though 
repudiated  by  Jerome,  who  married  a  titled 
wife,  and  compelled  to  return  home 
in  d'lsgrace  "with  her  infant  son,  yet 
her  spirit  never  failed  her.  'When  King 
Jerome,  after  his  marriage  with  the  Princess  of 
Wilrtembnrg,  offered  her  the  Principality  of 
Smalcand  with  $40,000  per  annum,  she  re- 
plied :  "  Westphalia,  no  doubt,  was  a  consider- 
able kingdom,  bi^t  not  large  enough  to  hold  two 
Queens."  This  answer  is-said  to  have  so  pleased 
the  Emperor  that  he  assisted  her  poverty  with  a 
present  of  $20,000  and  an  annuity  of  $12,000. 
She  accepted  -with  the  proviso  that  she  should 
.<dgn  the  papers  as  Elizabeth  Bonaparte,  and  the 
Emperor  acceded,  thus  allowing  the  legality  of 
the  marriage.  But  her  retort  to  her  weak-kneed 
husband  is  delightful  to  read.  When  he  pro- 
tested against  her  acceptance  of  aid  from  his 
brother  while  rejecting  his  own.  she  sent  him 
word  that  she  "  prefetred  shelter  l>eneath  the 
wing  of  the  eagle  to  suspension  from  the  pinion 
of  the  goose."  The  paper  is  fuU  of  interesting 
anecdotes  and  descriptions  of  celebrities  with 
whom  in  her  eventful  life  Mme.  Pattersou-Bon- 
aparte  came  in  contact.  It  appears  that  she  is 
still  living  in  great  seclusion  in  Baltimore.  If 
her  diary  is  ever  published  we  may  periiaps 
light  upon  a  mine  of  piquant  gossip 
extending  over  50/"as  eventful  years.,  as 
the  history  of  ^fhe  world  has  to  show. 
The  short  story  for  this  month  is  by  Edward 
Bellamy,  a  yoting  writer  who  generally  succeeds 
in  holding  the  attention.  The  present  instance  is 
not  as  happy  as  some  we  have  seen,  partly  owing 
to  tho  rather  threadbare  motif  of  the  tale,  a  re- 
semblance between  two  women,  in  consequence 
of  which  an  old  man  takes  the  younger  for  the 
spirit  of  his  elderly  friend,  as  she  appeared 
when  he  first  loved  her.  Howard  M.  Jenkins 
tells  the  story  of  the  Battle  of  the  Brandywine, 
and  there  is  a  translation  of  short  story  by  the 
Italian  writer  Edmondo  de  Amicis.  It  is  power- 
ful in  a  certain  way,  but  rather  harsh.  The 
idea  is  to  show  the  cruelty  and  foolishness  of 
the  papistical  opposition  to  the  national  longing 
for  a  united  and  progressive  Italy.  H.  M.  Ben- 
son tells  well  the  life  and  services  to  literature 
of  a  Venetian  dramatist  of  the  eighteenth  cen- 
tury— Gozzi. 

tTNTIL  THE  DAT  BEEAK.  By  Mrs.  J.  M.  D.  BAartarr, 
("  Bln^  Arnold,")  Philadelphia :  PoKtxa  A  Coatul 
1877. 

It  would  be  an  injustice  to  tax  the  author 
of  Until  the  Day  Break  with  paucity  of  ideas. 
Never  had  that  stereotyped  criticism  "there  is 
in  the  book  under  review  material  enough  to 
make  a  dozen  first-class  romances"  a  better 
application.  The  only  trouble,  however,  about 
the  inordinate  use  of  material  is  that  when- 
ever heterogeneous  stuff  is  shoved  between  the 
covers  of  a  book,  as  in  the  present  case,  a 
novel  of  some  373  pages  is  the  inevitable  re- 
sult— and  immeasurable  weariness.  In  UntU  the 
Bay  Break  are  mixed  up,  in  a  tangled  kind  of 
way,  a  pert  country  girl,  Laura,  from  Lakeview, 
Penn.,  a  scheming  governess,  a  quadroon, 
negroes,  relays  of  sawdust  swindlers,  cripples, 
only  one  hag.  a  single  journalist,  (doing  no 
woree  than  dropping  into  poetry,)  herds  of 
lovers,  all  proposing,  with  bevies  of  languishing 
girls,  all  accepting,  and  a  curious  menagerie  of 
fathers,  mothers,  aunte,  uncles,  cousins,  and 
nephews.  In  the  early  chapters  of  the  romance 
the  reader  gets  a  surfeit  of  gore,  for  there  is  a 
first-class  robbery  perpetrated  in  a  Southern 
swamp  by  the  crone  de  rigeur.  It  is  always  per- 
fectly understood  that  in  such  cases  an  indivi- 
dual with  a  saddle-bag  full  of  gold  ought  to  be 
murdered,  but  it  invariably  turns  out  that  the 
victim  never  is  quite  lulled,  for,  being  a  singu- 
larly knotty  personage,  no  amount  of  stabbing 
or  subseqntlnt  burning  of  his  remains  can 
seriously  ^ect  his  future  health.  Edward 
Gardiner,  then,  who  has  been  hashed  up  into 
catVmeat  and  cremated,  turns  up  as  fresh  as 
paint  at  the  concitision,  and,  by  means 
"of  that  cameo  ring  with  .  the  con- 
cealed portrait,  which  he  wore,"  which  trinket 
the  robbers  have  carefully  kept  on  their  fingers 
for  10  or  20  years,  detection  and  arrest  and  a 
real  dramatic  conclusion  are  effected.  There  is 
no  end  of  high  life  in  the  book.  If  anybody 
wants  to  get  an  insight  into  aristocratic  man- 
ners from  a  Long  Branch  point  of  view,  ITntil 
the  Bay  Break  gives  the  amplest  opportunity. 
Shovers  of  counterfeit  money  are  made  to  be 
leaders  of  society.  No  end  of  harmless  French 
of  the  bon^ottr,  eM  !  and  &2aiie  (sic. )  order  is  inter- 
jected. Miss  Laura,  of  Lakeview,  Penn.,  is 
called  La  reine  Gordon,  which  is  a  dashing  tou- 
briquet,  if  it  be  nothing  else.  Descriptions  of 
women's  eostumes,  i  to  Godey't  Lady't  Sook, 
however,  illuminate  the  novel  and  are  the  re- 
deeming points.  Laura  is  arrayed  (girls  do  not 
dress,  but  array)  "  in  a  heavy  white  silk,  devoid 
of  rtifBa,  plait,  or  fold,  against  which  the  dali- 
of  tiMaodlaat  i&iwrtdMklaaa 


overdress  mi  clearly  defined.  *  *  *  She 
'wore  no  jewels,  but  her  tan,  a  rich  point  laoe  af- 
fair, displayed  every  now  and  then  between  tlie 
folds  the  sdntUlant  ^eamof  diamonds."  One 
would  of  course  expect  meh  a  heroine  as  Laura, 
of  Lakeview,  Penn.,  to  tie  arrayed  in  a  point 
lace  scintiliant  affair.  The  innocence  of  the 
author  in  regard  to  tlie  "  shovers  of  the  queer" 
is  quite  amusing.  Bartell^  one  of  the  swindlers, 
-wants  to  sell  Amot,  another  of  the  bogus  men, 
someUiing  or  other,  and  offers  him  $5,000  in 
their  o-wn  counterfeit  money.  Crammed  "with 
sentimental  twaddle,  abounding  in  the  crudest 
impossibilities,  conceived  without  the  faintest 
conception  of  art,  TTntn  the  Day  Bnak  is  a  far- 
rago of  tiresome  nonsense.

There  hasb««n  a,  decided  impro-vement 
in  the  general  character  of  the  American 
sportsman.  Conscious  of  the  increased  destruc- 
tion of  game,  due  to  ^weapons  of  greater  preci- 
sion, the  sportsman  has,  in  a  certain  measure, 
exerted  himself  to  preserve  the  fens  natura, 
"Let  us  go  out  and  kill  something  to-day," 
which  speech  has  been  put  into  an  Englishman's 
month,  may,  perhaps,  yet  be  uppermost  in  many 
minds  ;  still  this  savage  idea  is  tempered  by 
the  thought  that  the  slaughter  of  beasts,  birds, 
and  fUkhes  ought  to  be  accomplished  only  in 
certain  seasons.  To  shoot  the  doe  when  nursing 
her  fawn,  to  bag  a  partridge  while  hatching 
ont  her  brood,  to  catch  a  trout  when 
spawning,  would  be  to  exterminate,  in  time, 
every  one  of  those  creatures,  which  God  gives 
us  for  our  use.  Considerations  of  this  charac- 
ter have,  then,  diverted  the  attention  of  the 
sportsman  to  questions  of  natural  history.  It 
became  apparent  that,  if  any  conservative  legis- 
lation was  possible,  the  habits  of  all  ani- 
mals, birds,  or  fishes  should  be  known.  Modem 
books  of  sporting,  then,  while  giving  the  fullest 
explanations  as  to  methods  of  destruction,  de- 
vote no  small  amotmt  of  space  to  the  sdentifla 
study  of  those  creatures  which  throng  the  field 
andfiood.  Now  a  man  may  sboot  his  wood- 
cock or  his  canvas-back  duck,  and  if 
he  be  of  the  gentler  kind,  he  is 
pretty  certain  to  have  some  general 
smattering  as  to  the  place  both  these  birds  oc- 
cupy in  the  ornithological  kingdom.  Swelter- 
ing in  an  Illinois  swamp,  or  frozen  on  tho  Ches- 
apeake, though  guns,  setters,  and  retrievers 
may  be  amply  discussed,  if  Snhpax  or  FuligiUa 
vaUitmeria  may  not  be  treated  by  the  sportsmen 
with  exactly  the  same  lore  as  developed  by  a 
Coues,  still  sportsmen  have  no  end  of  discussion 
about  the  birds.  If  the  Professors  are  stronger 
in  their  thcoreti-^al  classifications,  it  is  the  shoot- 
ing naturalist  who  culls  his  thousands  of  inter- 
esting practical  facts  which  the  Smithsonian  In- 
stitution digests  at  its  leisure.  Mr.  Charles  Hal- 
lock's  Sportsnuin's  Gazetteer,  for  comprehensive 
grasp  of  the  whole  matter  of  shooting,  fishing, 
and  trapping,  is  certainly  the  best  American 
work  of  the  kind  yet  produced  in  the  United 
States.  The  experience  of  the  author  of  the 
Fishing  Tourist  has  i>een  of  such  a  wide  char- 
acter that  probably  no  oue  could  have  accom- 
plished the  angling  portion  of  the  work  better. 
There  is  just  enough  of  science  in  the  book  to 
make  it  interestinj;  to  the  general  reader,  and 
the  practical  portion  of  the  volume  leaves  noth- 
ing to  be  desired.  There  are  several  chapters 
on  dogs,  on  sporting  boats  and  canoos,  and  that 
portion  of  the  Sportsman's  Gazetteer  entitled  "  In- 
struction in  Taxidermy,"  is  a  most  useful  ad- 
dition to  the  book.  A  notable  part  of  the  &az£(- 
tMr  is  taken  up  by  a  sportsman's  directory.  Here 
not  only  the  sportsman,  but  the  tourist  in  tho 
United  States,  can  find  his  way  through  much 
of  what  has  been  heretofore  a  terra  incognita. 
States  are  divided  into  counties,  and  the  game 
found  there  is  given  in  detail,  with  information 
as  to  routes,  cost  of  travel,  and  general  expenses. 
A  very  thorough  bibliography  for  sportsmen  is 
added.  In  future  editions  of  the  Sporismnn't 
Gazetteer,  it  might  be  worth  while  for  Mr.  Hal- 
lock  to  give  the  names  of  all  the  associations 
for  the  preservation  of  game  in  the  country, 
with  the  various  sportsmen's  clubs.  A  record 
of  this  character  might  add  in  some  way  to  tho 
usefulness  of  the  book.  As  it  is,  however, 
we  are  very  sure  that  for  a  long  time  to 
come  the  Sportsman's  Gasetteer  will  be  consid- 
ered as  quite  exhau-stive,  and  -nill  be  taken  as 
a  leading  authority  in  the  United  States.

Jostioe  Wandell  yesterday,  in  Jefferson  Mar- 
ket Police  Court,  committed  Mrs.  Jane  McLatuj^- 
lln,  of  No.  2jg  Grand-street,  for  trial  In  defanlt  of 
$&00  baU.  for  long-contlnned  and  bratal  cruelty  to 
Annie  Costello.  an  adoptod  orphan  child,  aged  5 
yean.  The  child  was  given  over  to  the  care  of  the 
Society  for  the  PrevwitUai  of  Cmel^  to  Children. 

Judge  Vftn  Brant,  in  Snpreme  Court,  Cham- 
bers, yesterday  rendered  a  decision  directing  the 
defendant  Benjamin  Tomes  to  verify  his  own 
imsirer  in  the  snJt  of  Joilliard  ft  Co.  sgainst  Tomes 
&  Co.  In  this  ease,  -which  was  reported  in  Thb 
TIUZ3  yesterday.  GooTRe  H.  Forater.  the  defendants' 
lawyer,  rerifled  the  answer,  and  in  doing  so  swore  to 
the  tnith  of  something  which  the  answer  itself 
denied. 

On  the  morning  of  the  22d  Anguat,  Officer 
John  LaydoQ,  of  the  Fourteenth  Precinct,  arrested 
James  Fenin,  who  was  acting  in  a  snapicioaa  manner 
in  Croatiy-street,  between  Spring  and  Broome.  When 
brought  to  the  station-house  some  burglar's  tools, 
known  to  the  fraternity  as  '*  pick-locks,  were  found 
In  his  possesslpn.  Yesterday,  at  the  Court  of  Special 
Setisions.  the  prisoner  on  his  plea  of  '*  guilty,  was 
sentenced  to  the  Penitentiary  for  one  year. 

At  Fifty-seTenth-Street  Police  Court  yesterday, 
before  Justice  Morgan,  William  Donovan  was  ar- 
raigned on  the  charge  of  murderously  assaulting 
Thomas  Brennan,  who  is  now  lying  in  an  extremely 
critical  condition  at  Bellevne  HospitaL  Donovan 
admitted  to  the  ofScer  who  arrested  him  that  he 
Etruek  Brennan  with  a  paving-stone  in  self-defense. 
Dr.  Vanderpoel  transmitted  a  certificate  to  the  conrt 
setting  forth  that  the  injured  man  is  suffering  from 
compoond  fracture  of  the  skull,  and  that  his  condi- 
tion is,  at  best,  precarious.  Donovan  was  committed 
to  await  the  result  of  the  injuries. 

£dgar  Hunt,  a  boy  of  1 1  years  of  age,  was 
some  time  sincd  committed  by  Police  Justice  Murray 
to  the  care  of  the  New- York  Juvenile  Asylum.  The 
commitment  was  made  at  the  request  of  Daniel  H. 
Hunt,  the  boy's  grandfather,  the  understanding  be- 
ing, as  now  said,  that  the  boy  should  be  discharged  at 
the  grandfather's  request  at  «3y  time.  The  request 
was  reeenly  made,  and  Justice  Murray  granted  an 
order  of  dl.scharge.  Tlie  officers  of  the  asylum  have 
refused  to  deliver  up  the  boy,  and  Jadge  Van  Bnint, 
in  Supreme  Court,  Chambers,  yesterday  granted  a 
writ  of  habeas  corpus  in  the  case. 

Mrs.  Sarah  E.  Mellok  brought  suit  in  the 
Court  of  Common  Pleas  for  an  absolute  divorce  from 
her  husband,  John  W.  Melick.  on  the  ground  of  the 
latter's  alleged  marital  infidelity.  Mrs.  Melick's 
charoe  against  her  husband  was  based  solely  on  an 
afilda\it  made  by  a  ser\'ant  girl  named  Harvey.  The 
suit  was  sent  for  trial  before  ei-Judee  Loew  as  Ref- 
eree, mod  there  the  servant,  when  culed  as  a  witness, 
testified  that  her  affidavit  was  false.  Judge  Loew 
reported  to  the  court  that  the  complaint  should  be 
dismissed,  and  Judge  Kobineon  yesterday  confirmed 
the  report.  Mrs.  Melick,  being  satisfied  that  her 
charge  was  groundless,  has,  it  is  said,  gone  back  to 
live  with  her  husband. 

TEE  MILITARY  P±RADE  QROUND. 
The  difflcultiee  which  have  followed  the  now- 
abandoned  plan  of  having  a  Military  Parade  Ground 
above  Two  Hundredth-street,  near  Ninth-avenue, 
still  form  the  tuuject  of  legid  proceedings,  one  of 
which  was  before  Judge  Van  Brunt  In  Supreme 
Court.  Cbamben,  yesterday.  The  Legislature,  it 
seems,  in  ItiTl  passed  an  act  providing  for  the  es- 
tablishment of  the  parade  ground.  At  the  last  ses- 
sion another  act  was  passed  repealing  the  act  of 
1871,  and  providing  for  the  appointment  of  Com- 
missioners to  appraise  the  loaaes  all^:ed  to  have  ac- 
erued  to  the  owners  of  the  property  designated  for 
the  parade  in^iuid,  in  consequence  of  the  proceed- 
ings already  had  in  the  matter.  Among  the  owners 
of  such  property  is  Erastus  H.  iluuson,  who  claims 
he  has  been  deprived  of  the  right  to  improve  his 
property  though  he  had  been  compelled  to  pay  the 
taxes  and  assessments  on  it.  His  counsel,  John  C. 
Shaw,  applied  to  Judge  Van  Brunt  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  Commiuioners  to  estimate  his  loss,  in  ac- 
cordance with  tlieactof  1877.  Corporation  Counsel 
>Vhitney,  representing  the  City,  said  that  as  the  act 
of  1877  is  mandatory,  he  supjposed  it  Incumbent 
n^Kin  the  Conrt  to  appoint  the  Commissioners.  He 
urged,  however,  that  the  City  is  not  liable  for  dama- 
ges in  the  matter,  since  whatever  had  been  done  hod 
not  been  done  by  the  tMty  but  by  the  Lecis- 
iature.  The  latter  had  first  enacted  the 
law  for  the  t*tablishment  of  the  parade 
ground  and  had  then  repealed  it,  while  the  City  had 
refused  to  t^a  any  action  in  tho  matter.  Mr.  Whit- 
ney submitted  an  affidavit  of  his  own  In  which  he 
avers  that  the  parade  ground  was  not  laid  ont  or  es- 
tablished until  April,  1673.  In  the  Fall  of  that  year 
the  Pork  Department  directed  proceodings  to  bi? 
t«tken  to  acquire  title  to  the  lands  desitmated.  That 
proceeding,  accordhig  to  Mr.  Wljiiuey.  was  made 
solely  by  the  Park  Department,  and  was  abandoned  in 
January,  1874.  The  owners  of  property  on  the  site 
of  the  proposed  parad*^  ground  taon  endeavored  to 
compel  the  Park  Department  to  continue  tho  pro- 
ce^dlDgii  to  acquire  tltlt*.  but  thev  were  defeated  in 
the  endeavor  after  a  litigation  of  more  than  a  year's

Corretpondence  of  the  BcUHmore  Suiu 

Washington,  Ang.  22,  1877. 

Under  date  of  Aug.  13  the  Secretary  of  Staf« 
addressed  a  letter  to  the  Secretary  of  the  TTreasury, 
setting  forth  that  from  T.  H.  Bourdmmn  &  Co.,  Kew- 
buryport,  there  hod  been  received  a  letter  givlns  ac- 
counta  of  the  firing  by  a  Spanish  war  vessel  on  the 
schooner  Edward  Lee,  and  requesting  the  Treasury 
Department  to  cause  proper  inquiries  to  be  made  re- 
specting this  matter,  with  a  view  to  ascertaining 
whether  the  intelligenee  is  authentic  or  not.  The 
reply  of  the  Deputy  CoUec^-or  at  Provincetown,  Aug. 
18.  was  received  to-day.    He  says,  after  diligent  and 

{larticuiar  Inqutrr,  that  he  had  obtained  a  copy  of  the 
etter  addressed  by  Capt.  Atkins,  master  of  the  Ed- 
ward Lee,  to  hia  mother,  residing  at  Provincetown, 
under  date  of  March  12,  substantially  that  the 
Spanish  cruiser  first  fired  a  bombshell,  exploding  a 
short  distance  from  the  vessel.  The  next  was  a 
charge  of  grape  shot,  and  tho  firing  was  repeated  sev- 
eral times.  The  schooj»nr  was  put  under  full  sail,  and 
escaped.    The  Deputy .  JoUector  then  odds : 

*' I  have  also  ascertained  from  John  A.  Durham, 
master  of  the  Ellen  Rizpah,  a  schooner  recently  ar- 
rived, which  was  also  fired  at  by  probably  the  same 
cruiser,  that  he  boarded  the  Leo  at  sea  July  28,  in 
longitude  76°  40,  latitudeSloSO'.  when  Capt.  Atkins 
related  the  story  in  substance  as  above,  adding  that 
the  armed  vessel  was  a  sloop,  and  that  the  Edward 
Lee  escaped  from  her  by  going  to  sea  and  outsailing 
her.  It  IS  not  certain  whether  the  Lee  will  return  to 
the  United  States  this  season  or  next,  or  at  what  for- 
eign port  she  may  enter  cannot  now  be  ascertained. 
This  reply  was  promptly  seat  to  the  State  Depart- 
ment. In  the  absence  of  the  master  of  the.  Edward 
Lee  the  CoUeetor  will  be  instructed  to  at  once  take 
the  deposition  of  Capt.  Durham  regarding  the  attack 
on  his  own  vessel,  and  make  oath  as  to  the  statement 
of  Capt.  Atkins.  The  explanation  of  the  Spanish 
Mitdater  thact  the  firing  was  done  by  on  onr-cealoua 
odBeer  does  not  »-xcuse,  in  the  opinion  of  the  State

TBROWK  FROM  A  TBIBD8TOBT  WIK2>OW. 
Officer  Baywood,  of  the  Eighteenth  Prednot, 
found  at  an  early  hour  yesterday  a  woman  lying  on 
the  sidewalk  fronting  Ko.  502  East  Seventeenth- 
street.  She  was  unconsdoos,  but  recovered  her 
senses  at  the  station-house,  whithex  the  ofllcer,  with 
the  assistance  of  Dthera,  removed  her.  She  said  that 
her  name  was  Amelia  Barker,  and  that  she  left  her 
hpme  at  No.  208  Elm-street  recently  to  become  the 
mistress  of  a  German  named  Frank  Sohlata,  with 
whom  she  lived  at  Ko.  502  £ast  Seventeenth-street. 
On  ThuTsdaj  evening  they  quarreled,  and  he,  she 
alleges,  brutally  maltreated  her.  In  an.  en- 
deavor to  escape  from  her  assailant  the 
woman  ran  to  the  open  third-stoTy  window, 
and  either  fell  or  was  pushed  ont  by  Schlata. 
She  asserted  tbst  ha  violently  pushed  her  as  %\X 
stood  at  the  window,  causing  her  to  fall  to  the  side- 
walk. When  she  had  completed  her  story.  Officer 
Kaywood  arretted  Schlata,  whom  he  found  In  bis 
room  in  East  Seventeenth-street.  At  3?ifty-.seventh- 
Street  Police  Court  he  declared  Ms  Innocence,  assert- 
ing that  the  women  jumped  ont  of  the  window.  He 
was  field  to  await  the  result  of  her  injuries,  which, 
according  to  a  certificate  of  the  House  Surgeon  at 
Bellevue  Hospital,  are  not  of  a  serious  character.

TBE  LATE  DR;   SEARS'  DETJSB. 

Sarah  Ourran,  Mark  Sears,  and  Maria  Sears 
have  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court  from  the  decis- 
ion of  Surrogate  Calvin  upholding  the  validity  of  the 
will  of  the  late  Dr.  Edward  L  Sears,  whose  heirs  at 
law  the  appellants  are.  The  respondents  are  Pat- 
rick S.  Fanning.  William  Harry  Byrne,  Catherine 
I.  Sears.  David  A.  Gorton,  and  the  Trustees  of  Man- 
hatUn  Colleee.  Dr.  Sears  "^ed  Dec.  7.  187fi.  and 
by  his  will  left  all  his  real  estate  to  the  college. 
StuToeate  Calvin  upheld  the  devise,  and  appointed 
Mr.  Gorton  as  Ref-eiver  of  the  property.  The  heirs 
claim  that  the  devise  Is  void,  because  It  suspends  the 
power  of  alienating  the  property  beyond  the  limit  of 
time  fixed  by  statute.  Judire  van  Brunt  yesterday 
directed  the  respondents  to  answer  the  petition  with<

DECISIONS. 


THE  OWNERSHIP  OF  AX  AVENUE. 
A  rather  interesting  discussion  was  bad  be- 
fore Judge  Van  Brunt,  in  Cliambors  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  yesterday,  in  regard  to  an  award  made  by  the 
Commissioners  for  the  opeidng  of  Eleventh -avenue, 
aboveOne-HundredandFifty-fifth-street.  The  avenue 
hod  been  used  for  some  years,  but  no  maps  had  been 
filed,  and  the  City  had  taken  no  step.?  to  gain  title  to 
the  road-bed  of  the  avenue.  In  1 874  the  City  began 
proceedings  to  acquire  the  title.  It  then  appeared 
that  the  persons  owning  the  property  along  the  av» 
nuo  were  not  the  some  as  the  ones  who  held  the  fee 
in  the  road-bed.  and  two  acts  of  claimants  appeared 
to  claim  the  awards  for  lands  taken.  The  City,  how- 
ever, maintained  that  neither  sot  was  entitled  to 
awards,  on  the  CTound  that  the  avenue  had  been 
dedicated  to  public  uses.  Judge  Lawrence  held, 
however,  that  there  had  bocn  no  such  dedication. 
An  award  of  $20,000  was  then  mode  to  unknown 
owners.  The  two  sets  of  claimants  referred  to  then 
recommenced  their  dispute,  each  claiminj;  to  be  en- 
titled to  the  award.  The  matter  was  referred  to  ex- 
Jndgo  Mitchell,  who  reported  in  favor  of  allowing 
three-quarters  of  the  amount  of  the  award 
to  the  owners  of  the  property  along  the 
avenue  and  one-quarter  to  the  owners 
of  the  fee  in  the  road-bed  of  the  avenue.  The  matter 
of  couflnning  this  report  was  before  Judge  Van 
Brunt  yesterday.  The  owners  of  tho  road-bed 
claimed  that,  as  the  land  hod  been  takon  from  them, 
'they  are  entitled  to  the  whole  compensation.  The 
owners  of  the  projwrty  aloufc  the  street,  they  con- 
tended, had  lost  nothing.  Thoy  had  an  easement, 
consisting  of  the  rUtht  to  use  the  thorouRhfare  in 
order  to  reach  their  property.  When  the  thorough- 
fare was  made  a  public  avenue  they  had  the,  same 
right  as  before.  The  other  side,  however,  insisted 
that  they  had  had  a  perpetual  exclusive  rijzht  to  use 
the  old  thoroughfare  which  had  been  taken  from 
them,  and  that  tboy  are  therefore  entitfed  to  be  paid 
for  what  the  City  had  token.  Judge  Van  Brunt  took 
the  papers,  reserving  his  decision. 


A  TUIEF  SENT  TO  PRISON. 
James  Rigger,  of  No.  42  Hamilton-street, 
who  was  so  cleverly  captured  after  a  long  and  ex- 
citing chose  on  Monday  last,  by  Officer  Flannigan,  of 
the  Fourth  Precinct,  was  yesterday  arraigned  in  the 
Court  of  Special  Sessions  on  the  charge  of  stealing  a 
$20  gold  piece  from  Lotus  Vei^r,  a  Frenchman  witli 
whom  he  hod  been  drinking.  Officer  Flaamigon  tes- 
tified that  he  wosinjames-street,  nearOak.  ontheday 
in  question,  and  that  on  hearingcries  of  "  Stop  thief." 
and  seelsg  a  man  running,  who  bad  just  come  out  of 
a  liquor  store  at  the  comer  of  Catharine  and  Oak 
streets,  he  followed  inpnrsuit,  and  finally  arrested 
him  on  the  comer  of  Hamilton  and  Slarket  streets. 
The  prisoner  in  trving  to  escape,  ran  from  Oak-street 
to  Oliver,  up  Oliver  to  Ma^son.  through 
Madison  to  Catharine,  down  Catharine  to 
Hamilton,  and  through  Hamilton  to  Market- 
street,  where  the  -  officer,  after  a  long  run, 
arrested  him.  The  officer  swore  that  when  Rigger 
was  searched  at  the  station-house  they  did  not  find 
the  coin  In  his  pockets,  nor  In  his  clothes,  but  on 
opening  the  prisoner's  mouth,  which  had  to  be  done 
forcibly,  the  coin  was  found  therein.  The  prisoner 
was  found  guilty  and  sentenced  to  the  Fomtentiary 
for  the  term  of  six  months. 


OBIAINING  MONET  BY  FALSE  PRETENSES. 
Henry  Singer,  a  man*residing  at  No.  175 
East  Third-street,  was  arrested  yesterday,  and  ar- 
raigned at  the  Essex  Market  Police  Court  on  a 
charge  of  obtaining  money  by  false  pretenses.  The 
affidavit  of  the  oomplalnaut,  Mr.  Patrick  Parkes,  of 
Ko.  75  Orchard-street,  set  forth  that  on  Aug.  17  *.e, 
being  a  co-defendant  with  Christopher  Murray  in  a 
civil  suit  before  Judge  Dinkel,  in  the  Fourth  Dis- 
trict Court,  visited  the  premises  of  Mur- 
rey at  Noo.  7  and  9  Canal-street.  While 
there  Singer  called  and  represented  himself  to  be 
a  Marshal,  said  that  judgment  had  been  entered 
against  them,  and  said  that  he  had  an  execution 
Bgunst  his  property  in  his  possesslou,  but  added  that 
If  he  gaveliim  [Singer]  $20  he  would  give  him  time- 
until  the  next  afternoon  to  file  an  appeal  bond,  and 
he  would  not  make  a  levy  on  the  property,  but  other- 
wise he  would  immediately  remove  it.  llie  plaintiff 
alleges  that  subsequently  ho  discovered  t^at  the 
representations  were  false.  Tlie  prisoner  pleaded 
not  guilty  to  the  chaise.  He  asserted  that  he  was 
a  clerk  to  Marshal  Frank  O'Donnel,  and  that  he 
visited  Mr.  Murray's  establishment  with  Mr. 
O'Donnel,  at  the  request  of  the  plaintiff 
in  Parice's  suit.  The  Marshal  had  the  execution  with 
y-m,  but  he  himself  had  no  conversation  with  Parke, 
but  with  the  latter's  attorney.  The  latter  told  the 
Marshal  and  faimself  that  the>'  had  better  not  enforce 
the  execution  that  day,  but  give  his  clients  time  to 
settle  the  matter  or  give  bonds  in  appeal  The  at-

People  ■who  have  grown  a  little  tired  of 
■the  limpid  stream  of  oratory  ■which  has 
marked  the  com'se  of  the  President  and  cer- 
■tain  members  of  his  Cabinet  through  New- 
England  must  remember  that  the  man- 
ner of  the  speaker  and  the  occasion 
of  the  speech  'giTe  a  significance  to 
commonplace  expressions  which  is 
entirely  lost  when  they  are  transferred  to 
type.  President  Hates  has  the  eu'viable 
'acuity  of  impressing  all  ■with  ■whom  he 
jomes  in  contact  with  the  sincerity  and 
openness  of  his  character  and  the  perfect 
honesty  of  his  intentions.  These  are  quali- 
ties of  T-hieh  the  mass  of  the  American  peo- 
ple are  pretty  shrewd  judges,  and  the 
chanCQ  of  listening  to  a  few  homely 
rema,-.-ks  from  the  President  of  the  United 
Stat<i3  is  quite  as  valuable  an  aid  to  the  ap- 
preciation of  his  policy  as  either  elaborate 
siFjosition  or  defense.  We  have  known 
Presidents  ■who  made  a  much  less  profitable 
use  of  the  Summer  holidays  than  President 
■Hayes  has  been  doing. 

The  Ohio  Democrats  are  at  their  old 
tricks — ^professing  the  methods  of  the  states- 
man and  practicing  the  arts  of  the  dema- 
gogue. Gen.  EwiNO  gave  out  for  publication 
a  speech  of  comparative  moderation  and 
really  delivered  a  rabid  harangue 
».gainst  keeping  faith  with  •  the  public 
Vireditor.  This  .sort  of  thing  is  understood 
to  please  the  "  working  man,"  who  has  be- 
come so  potent  an  element  in  politics,  and 
who  is  likely  to  be  made  the  excuse  for 
some  of  the  most  mischievous  proposals 
which  have  been  heard  in  ten  years.  Bepub- 
ticnns  in  Ohio  and  elsewhere  would  do  well 
to  remember  that  the  Democrats  can  always 
iistanee  them  in  the  species  of  clap-trap  so 
long  cultivated  by  the  iSeymours,  the 
t*endletou3,  and,-  the  Ewings  of  the  party 
of  repudiation.  There  is  a  field  for  intelli- 
gent legiBlation;and  progressive  politics  in 
iealhig  withthai  industrial  problems  which 
the  country  has*  to  face,  but  it  is  not  in 
iha  direction  taken  by  the  Ohio  Democrats. 

I  Mr.  Alles-C.  Beach  has  kindly  consent- 
ed to  be  considered  a  candidate  for  the 
'Democratic  4- nomination  for  Secretary  of 
State.  Wo  ? trust  that  his  aspirations  will 
be  gratified.  A  Republican  Senate 
thought  Tiim  an  unfit  person  for 
the  position  of  Bank  Superintendent, 
and  was,  roundly  abused  therefor  by  the 
Democratic  press.  There  could  be  no  bet^ 
ter  wajy  of  ■vindicating  Mr.  Beach  against 
the  sQspicions  of  his  political  opponents  and 
the  calumnies  of  some  of  his  political  asso- 
eiatos  than  by  placing  his  name  at  the 
bead  of  the  Democratic  State  ticket.  If 
the  people  approve  of  him  it  would  be  at 
once  a  certificate  of  character  to  Mr. 
Bkach,  an  indorsement  of  the  ■wisdom 
oi'  his  suooessive  nominations  by  Gov.  BoB- 
TNSON,  and  a  rebuke  to  the  Bepubli- 
y^ans  wbo  refused  to  confirm  these 
nominations.  If  Geoboe  B.  McClellan 
could  only  be  induced  to  "  consent  to  be 
considered  a  candidate "  for  the  office  of 
State  Engineer,  t^ere  woold  be  a  fair  chance 
of  arubmitting  to  the  people  a  ticket  com- 
posed of  thiorcA^td^  representative  Demo- 
crats, "j,-    -■ 

y  Ex-6ov.  A.  6.  Bko^wn,  of  Mississippi, 
does  not  share  in  the  opinion  of  the  Chair- 
man of^e  Democratie  Convention  of  Penn- 
sylvania that  "  the  Demooratio  Party  never 
dies."  On  the  contrary,  the  ex-Governor, 
who  certainly  cannot  be  considered  "  a 
Southern  renegade"  or  "  a  triok  mole,"  de- 
daresthat  the  I>emoaratlo  Party  is  hunx- 
htg  to  Its  own  destruotion.  He  reminds  his 
psrty  friends  in  Mississippi  that  he  predicted 
fliaaatair  from  their  eonrse  ten  year*  ago. 


promised  from  year  to  year ;  they  have  not 
come,  and  the  day  of  triumph  seems  farther 
att  than  ever.  He  seea  defeat  everywhere, 
and  thoTi^h  he  declines  to  give  roasons  for 
the  faith  that  is  in  him,  he  is  eoniident  that 
the  Demoet^y  is  digging  its  own  grave.  It 
■will  now  ^v  in  order  for  the  Democratic 
papers  to  speak  disrespectfully  of  ex-Gov. 
Bbown,  of  Mississippi. 


The  Turkish  Government  appears  to  have 
entered  witii  great  vigor  upon  the  regular 
publication  of  a  gazette  of  Bossian  atroc- 
ities. It  would  be  cruel  to  speak  lightly  of 
the  horrors  of  war,  or  of  the  horrors  which 
the  Turkish  official  circulars  depict.  But  it 
may  as  well  be  said,  once  for  all,  that  these 
publications  are  little  better  than  a  weari- 
some impertinence.  Multitudes  of  instances 
of  outrages  by  Turks,  the  character  of  which 
would  disgrace  a  savage  people,  are  certified 
by  dispassionate  and  veraeions  witnesses. 
These  do  not  disprove  the  statements 
made  by  the  Turks  against  the  Russians. 
They  do  prove  that  the  present  war  is  one 
of  uncommon  barbarity.  And  if  the  Sublime 
Porto  desires  to  convince  the  world  of  that 
fact,  its  circulars  are  quite  superfluous.  The 
worst  is  known  already ;  fresh  details  ■will 
not  move  anybody.  In  this  latest  gazette 
of  horrors  the  Bulgarians  are  represented 
as  being  turned  loose  on  the  Mussulman 
population  by  the  invaders,  who  relied  upon 
the  ferocity  of  the  natives  to  exterminate 
their  former  masters.  This  may  be  the 
reason  why  the  Bulgarians,  since  the  vrith- 


LEGISLATION FOR  BUSINESS. 

While  it  is  very  far  from  true,  as  some  sup- 
pose, that  all  the  questions  which  may  be 
called  political  are  disposed  of,  there  is  no 
doubt  that  the  time  has  come  for  a  change 
in  the  subjects  and  manner  of  legislatiou. 
The  old  question  of  slavery  has  settled  it- 
self, after  absorbing  the  largest  part  of  Con- 
gressional attention  for  the  past  twenty 
years ;  whatever  be  thought  of  the  merits  of 
the  President's  so-called  ''  Southern  policy," 
common  sense  requires  its  acceptance  as  a 
finality.  There  is  no  longer  either  oppor- 
tunity or  excuse  for  any  measures  intended 
to  apply  to  less  than  the  whole  country. 
"  Manifest  destiny "  is  under  a  cloud,  and 
except  the  little  band  of  filibustering  spirits 
that  are  always  ■with  us,  there  is  nobody  who 
wants  more  territory  or  any  meddling  ■with 
foreign  powers ;  annexation  is,  therefore,  no 
longer  a  question.  Internal  improvements, 
although  there  is  an  impending  struggle  be- 
tween the  defenders  of  the  Treasury  and  the 
speculators  who  wish  to  run  conduits  into  it 
for  their  own  benefit,  cannot  now  come  up  as 
the  question  of  policy  it  once  was,  since 
pleas  for  aid  are  sufficiently-  answered  by 
citing  the  evident  fact  that  the  Government 
is  not  now  in  a  position  to  assist  anything, 
however  meritorious.  The  tariff  is  the  only 
remaining  one  of  the  four  subjects  upon 
which  the  parties  of  the  last  generation 
divided,  and  that  is  more  vital  than  ever 
before.  The  currency,  labor  troubles, 
transportation,  and  the  relations  of  the  State 
and  Central  Governments  respectively  to  it, 
these  are  the  subjects  with  which  legidation 
has  now  to  deal. 

And  not  only  are  the  old  political  ques- 
tions out  of  the  way,  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
the  need  of  ■wise  action  is  pressing.  That 
the  condition  of  trade  and  industry  is 
deplorable  and  menacing  is  a  fact  which 
must  be  admitted  before  remedies  can  be 
discussed,  and  no  Congress  for  forty  years — 
unless  in  1861  and  1863 — ^has  confronted 
so  serious  a  situation  as  meets  the  Congress 
of  1877.  The  heyday  during  which  every- 
body was  prosperous,  and  the  neat  little 
pictures  illustrating  the  school  geographies 
were  typical  of  the  general  thrift  and  con- 
tent, has  passed.  Existence  has  become, 
to  many,  not  a  matter  of  routine 
labor,  but  one  of  fierce  struggle. 
Prosperity  has  become  exceptional  among 
employers  ;  capital  is  in  hiding  places,  and 
the  springs  of  industry  and  profitable  ex- 
changes seem  dried  up.  Under  these  cir- 
cumstances the  general  inattention  to  Con- 
gressional action  is  somewhat  disappearing, 
and  the  delusion  that  the  country  is  not 
sensibly  affected  by  it  is  giving  way.  Some- 
thing is  justly  expected  of  Congress,  but 
no  more  nostrums  need  be  presented. 
There  is  no  panacea  ;  neither  by  repealing 
the  Resumption  act,  nor  by  remonetizing 
silver,  nor  by  renewed  inflation,  nor  by  any- 
thing which  the  average  party  platform 
demands,  can  Congress  remove  the  cause  of 
the  trouble.  Empiricism,  trying  this  and 
that  remedy  at  random,  in  the  hope  that 
somehow  it  may  hit  the  disease,  will  not  do. 
It  is  not  more  necessary  that  rational  legis- 
lation be  had  than  that  irrational  and  med- 
dlesome legislation  be  avoided. 

The  setUement  of  the  currency  question 
npon  a  specie  basis  is  so  vital  that  there 
will  be  no  genuine  prosperity  imtil  the  pr^- 
ent  paralysis  of  uncertainty  is  ended  and 
that  settlement  is  reached.  Hardly  less  im- 
portant is  tariflf  revision.  After  successive 
alternations  up  and  down,  protectionists 
have  had  an  unbroken  control  since  1860, 
and  the  duties  are  so  excessive,  contradic- 
tory, and  self-neutraliziag;  the  revenue  laws 
are  so  over-laii  and  bepatched  with  what 
traps,  confuses,  defrauds,  discourages,  and 
obstructs,  that  whoever  wishes  to  illustrate 
by  cases  hardly  knows  where  either  to  begin 
or  end  ;  in  a  word,  if  the  importers,  who  in- 
directly contribute  the  great  bulk  of 
the  Government's  revenues,  were  its  natural 
enemies,  the  laws  could  hardly  have  been 
better  devised  for  obstmcting  and  plaguing 
them.  Even  excluding  the  complexities 
which  harass  them  without  benefiting  any 
honest  interest,  there  are  duties  which  re- 
sult in  smuggling  and  in  defeat  of  revenue  ; 
there  are  very  many  which  do  not  yield 
more  than  the  cost  of  collecting  ;  there  are 
many  on  raw  materials  and  constituents  of 
manufactures  which  repeat  themselves  in 
their  effect  on  the  cost  of  production. 
Lacking  system,  pulled  hither  and  thither 
at  the  demand  of  special  interests  which 
seek  nothing  further  than  their  own 
immediate  advantage,  and  shaped  in 
abnost  ntter  ignorance  as  well  as  dis- 
regard of  economic  laws  and  of  the  probable 
efltects,  I3ie  tariff  has  become  a  blanket 
which  aaBumes  to  protect  everybody,  but 
has  ceased  to  perform  its  office  well  and  is 
now  perhaps  reactionary.  Possibly  even 
the  thorough  advocates  of  protection  ivill 
admit  this  statement,  which  does  not  ask 
them  to  admit  anything  more.  If  satisfac- 
tory prosperity  were  the  present  condition,

to  argue  that  t&e  .  prosperity  might  result 
from  oth£r  causes  tKan  the  protection,  and 
even  be  in  ^ite  of  it ;  protectionists  must 
therefore  not  expect aqy  better  reception  for 
an  argument  that  we  must  cling  to  the  high 
tariff  because  that  alone  protects  us  from 
being  worse  off.  Dissatisfaction  must  pro- 
duce inquiry,  and  protectionists  must  con- 
tent themselves  with  seeing  their  tariff— not 
necessarily  their  doctrine — ^pat  npon  the 
stand  of  examination. 

While  saying  this,  however,  we  do  not 
look  to  a  doctrinal  examination.  The  issue 
between  protection  and  fi-ee  trade,  abstiract- 
ly,  is  neither  the  real  nor  the  desirable  one 
at  present.  The  proper,  questions  are  of 
this  sort:  Whether,  even  on  the  extreme 
theory  of  developing  manufactures,  the  work 
has  not  been  overdone  t  Whether  the  re- 
sult of  trying  to  secure  the  home  demand  is 
not  praoticallyraiaing'tmduly  the  cost  of  pro- 
duction, and  thus  neutralizing  the  ad  vantages 
of  abundant  coal  and  iron,  and  an  unpar- 
alelleddevelopmentof machinery T  Whether, 
in  barring  out  imports,  we  have  not  suc- 
ceeded in  barring  in  exports  f  Whether  the 
time  has  not  oome  for  a  bolder  policy  of 
trusting  more  to  our  own  ability  as  pro- 
ducers and  traders  and  less  to  artificial  re- 
strictions npon  exchanges  t  Our  commerce, 
exclusive  of  raw  materials,  is  startlingly 
small,  even  with  our  near  neighbors.  Ac- 
count must  be  taken  of  the  fact  that  the  rate  of 
possible  production  in  manufactures  per 
headof  population,  has  enormously  increased 
since  1860  ;  and  it  is  therefore  a  question 


drawal  of   the  protection  of   the  Btissian 
Army,  have,  in  their  turn,  been  massac£sdy   whether  we  are  not  suffering  from  engorge- 
by  the  Turks,  ■with  uunamable  atrocities.      —  iment,  and  have  not,  in  reality,  by  a  policy  of 

exclusion,  through  revenue  and  navigation 


laws  no  longer  adapted  to  the  conditions  of 
industry,  been  bottling  ourselves  up.  It 
should  not  follow  that  a  protectionist  an- 
swers this  one  way  and  a  free-trader  an- 
other. The  common  ground  of  consent 
should  be  sought.  If  those  who  disagree 
will  waive  the  abstract  question,  and  will 
come  together  and  first  see  upon  what 
things  they  agree,  the  position  ■will  bagreat- 
ly  simplified. 

In  one  view,  it  is  encouraging  that  these 
are  not  distinct  political  issues.  The  tariff 
and  the  eurrencr,  particularly  the  latter, 
have  fceen  handled  by  both  parties  timorous- 
ly, 80  that  neither  is  unmistakably  and 
unitedly  committed  to  a  definite  policy  re- 
garding them  both  ;  as  between  the  par- 
ties, the  cause  of  resumption  rests  with  the 
Republicans,  but  that  of  revenue  reform 
has  not  an  unequivocal  support  in  either. 
In  the  fact  that  an  opportunity  is  thus  fur- 
nished for  honorable  emulation,  there  is' 
hope  ;  and  perhaps  there  is  another  hope  in 
the  close  balance  of  power  in  Congress, 
there  being  less  temptation  for 
merely  partisan  measures.  Business 
interests,  for  many  years  shoved  aside 
by  party  matters,  have  now  the 
better  prospect  of  getting  the  attention 
which  they  never  needed  as  now,  and  it 
is  time  that  the  time-serving  policy 
which  asks  what  will  probably  tickle 
popular  fancy  until  after  the  next  elections 
were  abandoned  for  the  question  what 
will  be  best  for  the  general  welfare. 
Statesmanship,  study,  and  "saving  com- 
mon sense  "  are  wanted  now — legislation 
for  business  and  business  in  legislation. 


THE  SO  UTS  CAROLINA  PROSEC  CTIONS 

When  Wade  Hampton,  the  de  facto  Gov- 
ernor of  South  Carolina,  visited  Washington 
in  response  to  an  invitation  from  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  he  assured  all 
those  with  whom  he  came  in  contact  that  he 
had  the  utmost  respect  for  Gov.  Chamber- 
I.AIK  and  many  of  his  prominent  supporters, 
and  that  he  had  never  believed  any  of  the 
charges  which  were  made  against  them  by 
the  radical  element  in  the  Democratic  Party. 
During  his  interview  with  President  Hates, 
Gen.  Hampton  not  only  made  these  and 
many  similar  declarations,  but  stated  em- 
phatically that  should  he  succeed  in  the 
effort  which  he  was  then  making  to 
gain  control  of  the  Government  of 
South  Carolina  he  would  '  use  all 
his  personal  and  official  power  to 
secure  to  all  the  prominent  Republicans 
in  the  State  every  right  and  privilege  to 
which  they  were  entitled  as  American 
citizens.  A  letter  from  our  special  cor-, 
respondent,  whiohjwe  print  this  morning, 
demonstrates  vefyclearly  how  Gen.  Hamp- 
ton is  keeping  the  pledges  referred  to.  The 
de  facto  Governor  of  South  Carolina  must 
always  be  regarded  as  the  head  and  front 
of  the  Democratic  Party  in  that  State. 
From  "unreconstructed  Edgefield"  and 
"  bloody  Barnwell"  to  Charleston  and  the 
coast  he  has  been  landed  as  the  "  vindicator 
of  Carolina's  honor,"  "  the  savior  of  the 
State."  Those  who  know  anything  about 
the  politics  of  the  Palmetto  Commonwealth 
know  that  Hampton's  word  is  law  in 
Columbia.  His  followers  obey  him  im- 
plicitiy  and  blindly,  and  there  is  no  legis- 
lative act  passed,  no  political  move  made, 
■without  his  advice  and  sanction.  Such 
being  the  case,  Wade  Hampton  must  be 
held  responsible  for  the  political  persecu- 
tions in  the  name  of  law  and  justice  which 
are  now  going  on  in  South  Carolina. 

With  the  avowed  purpose  of  exposing 
fraud  and  punishing  criminals,  the  shot- 
gun Legislature  toward  the  close 
of  its  sessions  appointed  a  joint  committee, 
which  was  empowered  to  investigate  every 
official  act  of  every  Republican  who  had 
ever  held  office  in  the  State.  Aided  by  At- 
torney-General CoNNEES,  the  friend  and 
boon  companion  of  Hampton,  this  commit- 
tee, composed  entirely  of  Democrats  and 
Democratic  sympathizers,  has  for  weeks 
past  been  engased  in  overhauling  the  books 
and  papers  of  prominent  Republicans.  With 
that  love  of  mystery  which  has  been  always 
characteristic  of  men  of  their  type,  they 
hold  their  meetings  in  secret  and  compel 
■svitnesses  to  swear  that  they  ■will  not  reveal 
any  of  the  questions  which  are  asked  them 
or  the  answers  which  they  give.  In  spite 
of  all  the  safeguards  thrown  about 
their  proceedings,  however,  it  has  been  dis- 
covered that  the  one  end  and  aim  of  the 
investigation  is  to  break  down  the  remnant 
of  South  Carolina  Republicanism  which  has 
survived  the  shot-gun  plan  and  the  reconcili- 
ation policy.  To  this  end  everything  is 
sacrificed,  and  notorious  criminals  are  al- 
lowed to  escape  upon  condition  that  tliey 
will  aid  in  blackening  the  characters  of  the 
respectable  Republican  leaders. 

There  is  ncf  doubt  that  there  has  been 
much  political  corrdption  in  South  Carolina, 
and  that  many  frauds  have  been  comndtted 
in  the  name  of  the  Bepublican  Party.  Ale- 
ciaUtifa  ooaKaittM.greiierly  eoostitntsdutA 


deairona  of  punishing  crime  could  do  great 
good  by  unearthing  these  frauds  and 
securing  tbo  prosecntion  of  those  who  per- 
petrated them. .  There  is  no  indication  that 
th^  men  who  are  called  "  the  Hampton  in- 
vestigators "  are  actuated  or  influenced  by 
liuoh  motives.  Covering  the  real  object  of 
■their  proceedings  with  an  occasional  declara- 
tion that  "Joe"  Woodeupp,  ex-Senator 
Allen,  or  some  other  insignificant  politician 
had  defrauded  the  State  out  of  a  few  dollars, 
which  were  charged  to  the  legislative  sundry 
accoimt,  and  really  expended  in  whisky  and 
cigars,  the  committee  is  making  almost 
superhuman  efforts  to  criminate  Gov.  Cham- 
berlain, for  whom  Gen.  Hampton  had 
"great  respect  and  much  regard," 
while  notorious  rascals  are  allowed 
to  go  scot-free.  We  are  assured  by  the 
Democratic  press  that  the  arrest  of  State 
Treasurer  Cabdoza  ■was  a  great  step  in  the 
direction  of  reform.  How  much  truth  there 
is  in  this  pretense  ■will  be  better  understood 
after  a  perusal  of  the  letter  to  which  refer- 
ence has  already  been  made.  "  Joe  "  Wood- 
eupp, for  many  yeara  Clerk  of  the  Republi- 
can Senate,  has  been  arrested  and  charged 
■with  many  crimes.  Up  to  this  time,'  how- 
ever, there  has  been  no  attempt  to  interfere 
■with  the  liberty  of  his  friends  and  partners, 
the  editors  of  the  DesooFMic  News  and 
Courier.  Moses,  too,  "  Maasa  Moses,"  "  the 
robber  Grovemor,"  is  not  -only  allowed  to  go 
unpunished,  but  is  taken  by  the  hand  and 
■warmly  welcomed  back  into  the  bosom  of 
"the  native  and  best."  None  of  the  nu- 
merous old  charges  against  Judge  Mackey 
have  been  revived  or-inqiiired  into.  He  de- 
serted Chamberlain,  voted  for  Hampton, 
and  in  consequence  has  been  adjudged 
guiltless  of  all  crim|k  So  with  almost  every 
renegade  Bepublican  in  the  State.  They 
have  all  been  pardoned  on  condition  that 
they  would  turn  State's  e^jdence  and  join 
the  ranks  of  the  Democratic  faithful  The 
whole  in^vestigation  thus  far  has  been  sim- 
ply another  illustration  of  the  ease  with 
which  Wade  Hampton  and  Company  can 
shirk  their  duty  and  violate  their  most  sacred 
pledges. 


CARBURETTERS. 


Among  the  various  household  and  busi- 
ness accounts,  the  gas  bill  stands  pre-emi- 
nent as  the  one  most  frequently  paid  under 
mental  or  verbal  protest.  There  is  a  feel- 
ing that  in  this  pekodieal  charge  we  are 
very  much  in  the  power  of  the  interested 
corporation.  The-  rates  are  given  at  so 
much  per  thousand  feet,  which  is  simplicity 
and  plainness  itself ;  but  in  estimating  the 
amoBut  consumed  there  is  almost  always  a 
■wide  margin  of  discrepancy  between  the  re- 
collections of  the  user  and  the  figures  of  the 
company.  There  are  numberless  people 
who  profess  to  believe  that  these  calcula- 
tions are  purely  arbitrary,  and  that  gas  com- 
panies merely  use  meters  as  complicated, 
devices  by  means  of  which  they  can  justify 
whatever  charges  they  see  fit  to  make. 
It  is  quite  likely  that  these  opinions 
arise  from  the  fact  that  the  system 
and  practice  of  registration  are  in- 
soluble mysteries  to  most  persons. 
The  meter  is  ordinarily  located  in 
some  dark,  and  all  but  inaccessible,  cor- 
ner of  the  cellar ;  thereby  defeating 
any  attempt  at  daily  or  weekly  supervision 
on  the  part  of  the  householder,  while  the 
hea^vy  iron  easing  shuts  out  all  knowledge 
of  what  is  going  on  within.  It  is  this,  to- 
gether with  the  very  generally  entertained 
opinion  that  those  who  will  not  or  cannot 
watch  must  expect  to  be  cheated,  that  has 
placed  gas  companies  under  a  cloud  of  sus- 
picion. The  established  price  appears  to 
have  very  little  to  do  with  the  matter,  for 
the  prejudice,  if  it  is  one,  is  as  firmly  robted 
in  the  mind  of  the  London  gas-consumer,  who 
pays  but  three  of  four  shillings,  as  it  is  in 
that  of  the  inhabitant  of  some  small  N'ew- 
England  city  who  pays  four  or  five  dollars 
per  thousand  feet. 

It  is  to  these  confessedly  helpless  suffer- 
ers that  the  carburetter  comes  in  like 
a  divine  compensation.  There  are  sev- 
eral patents  in  more  or  less  use,  but 
the  common  agreement  under  which  they 
are  introduced  is  that  the  gas-saving  ma- 
chine shall  be  put  into  the  building,  with 
its  necessary  attachments  and  supplies,  at 
the  expense  of  the  patentee,  and,  further- 
more, all  that  he  shall  receive  in  payment 
shall  be  one-half  of  the  saving  in  expense 
affected  by  means  of  his  device,  the  esti- 
mate of  this  to  be  based  on  the  gas  bills  of 
the  previous  year.  To  illustrate,  if  one's 
quarterly  gas  bill  during  the  Fall  of  1876 
was  $50,  while  by  using  a  carburetter  it 
should  be  during  the  same  season  of  1877 
only  $20,  the  householder  would  pay  this 
latter  amount  to  the  gas  company  and  $15 
to  the  patentee  of  the  -machine.  This  per- 
centage of  saving,  though  possibly  of  no 
great  moment  as  a  matter  of  domestic  econ- 
omy, comes  up  for  serious  consideration  in 
large  manufacturing  establishments,  where 
the  cost  of  lighting  is  often  an  annual  tax 
on  the  profits  of  one,  two,  and  even  three 
thousand  dollars.  It  is  on  this  class  of  con- 
sumers that  the  carburetter  men  make 
their  fiercest  attacks,  and  that  they  have 
been  successful  may  be  judged  from  the 
fact  that  there  are  now  quite  a  number  of 
these  machines  in  operation  in  this  City. 

The  one  general  principle  governing  the 
workings  of  all  carburetters  is  that  it  is 
possible,  by  passing  street  gas  through  a 
chamber  filled  with  naphtha  vapor,  to  so  en- 
rich it  that  its  illuminating  power  shall  be 
increased  threefold.  Inversely,  it  is  thus 
possible  by  this  compound  to  reduce  the 
consimiption  of  pure  gas  by  two-thirds,  and 
yet  obtain  light  of  equal  quantity  and 
quality.  On  this  well-established  basis  in- 
ventors all  over  the  country  have  gone  to 
work,  and  the  Patent  Office  records  show 
that  more  than  four  hundred  claims  have 
been  filed  covering  minor  improvements  on 
these  machines.  The  chief  precautions 
which  have  to  be  taken  are  :  to  regulate  the 
density  of  the  vapor  through  which  the  gas 
is  to  pass,  to  purify  the  compouud  before 
it  passes  out  into  the  pipes,  and  to  prevent 
anyfpossible  leakage.  These  points  once 
covered,  a  certaiu  amount  of  success  can  be 
depended  npon — io  be  increased  no  doubt 
as  inventive  genius  siiall  from  time 
to  time  suggest  new  appliances  and  iu- 
provements.  Still,  for  a  device  of  recent 
origin,  the  carburottcr  has  made  rapid 
progress ;  and  there  is  one  sangidne  In- 
ventor who  does  not  hesitate  to  claim  that 
within  five  years  it  will  absorb  the  di^vidends 
of'  gas  companies  in  all  the  large  cities  of 
this  country. 

But  almost  alt  mechanical  improvements 
haT«  amm  stutiifgiuc  Xwtonu  onffieiaat  to 


prevent  their  general  and  immediate  ac- 
ceptance, and  so  with  the  carburetter  there 
are  defects  which  would  sustain  the  indi- 
vidual or  the  City  Government  in  condemning 
its  use.  The  machines  are  ordinarily  con- 
structed so  as  to  hold  from  twenty-five  to 
one  hundred  gallons  of  naphtha,  and  in 
buildings  they  are,  of  course,  situated  as 
near  as  possible  to  the  gas  meter.  Now,  it 
would  be  thought  dangerous  in  the  extreme 
to  keep  in  one's  cellar  a  barrel  t>f  gun- 
powder or  a  keg  of  nitro-glycerine,  and  yet, 
it  properly  protected,  these  would  be  less 
hazardous  than  a  similar  quantity  of  naph- 
tha. Not  only  has  this  latter  substance  an 
immense  explosive  power,  but  a  slight  leak 
in  a  carburetter  filled  with  it  would  speedily 
Convert  one's  cellar  into  an  extemporized 
im^ne,  needing  but  the  furnace  or  some 
other  Are  to  st&rt  it  into  deadly  activity. 
More  than  this,  as  naphtha  vapor  is 
heavier  than  atmospheric  air,  its  ten- 
dency when  escaping  is  to  seek  a 
lower  level,  and  in  so  doing  it  naturally  fol- 
lows those  cold  currents  in  a  room  which  in 
Winter  have  their  outlet  through  stoves  and 
fire-places.  When,  in  addition  to  this,  iUis 
said  that,  as  an  explosive  compound,  mixed 
with  atmospheric  air,  one  part  of  naphtha 
vapor  is  equal  to  ten  parts  of  street  gas,  it 
will  at  once  be  seen  that,  from  its  nature  and 
tendency,  this  material  is  in  no  way  suited 
for  ordinary, use.  For  the  present,  under 
the  pressure  of  popularizing  a  new  inven- 
tion, sufficient  care  will  no  doubt  be  daken 
to  prevent  any  mishap  ;  but  if  once  genier- 
ally  adopted  this  extra  attention  would 
gradually  discontinue,  and  we  should  prob- 
ably have  a  succession  of  disasters,  which, 
in  the  loss  they  would  oecasioii  to  life  and 
property,  would  more  than  counterbalance 
the  money  saved  by  the  use  of  carburetters. 


PENITENT  BARBERS. 

When  a  man  commits  suicide  it  is  the  duty 
of  the  stern  moralist  to  condemn  the  act. 
And  yet  charitable  men,  while  condemning 
the  offense  may  be  unable  to  help  applaud- 
ing the  offender.  There  is  Sergt.  Bates, 
for  example.  Were  he  to  commit  suicide  we 
should  ^l  remark  that  he  was  a  poor,  mis- 
guided man,  but  we  should  also  feel  a  cer- 
tain degree  of  respect  for  him  as  one  who, 
whatever  were  his  faults,  showed  at  the  last 
that  he  loved  his  fellow-men.  In  Uke  man- 
ner, when  it  was  announced  last  Thursday 
that  a  barber  had  attempted  to  commit  sui- 
cide by  drinking  his  own  tonic  and  subse- 
quently cutting  his  throat  with  a  razor, 
there  was  a  general  feeling'  of  satisfaction 
over  his  apparent  repentance  and  conse- 
quent effort  to  expiate  his  professional 
crimes  by  doing  to  himself  as  he  had  done 
to  others. 

What  led  this  barber  to  seek  to  put  an 
end  to  his  ohirQ.ering  existence  we  are  not 
told.  Possiblyrhe  had  suffered  from  deaf 
customers.  There  is  nothing  that  a  barber 
dreads  so  much  as  a  deaf  man.  Upon  such 
a  customer  his  choicest  conversation  falls  as 
harmlessly  as  musket-balls  against  the  tur- 
ret of  a  monitor,  and  his  praises  of  tonic  are 
wasted.  Some  years  since  two  young  and 
ardent  medical  students  undertook  to  test 
the  effect  of  simulated  deafness  upon  a 
largo  and  fluent  barber.  In  pursuance  of 
this  object  they  made  a  point  of  visiting  the 
barber  shop  together  every  day.  At  first  the 
barber  seemed  unwilling  to  admit  to  himself 
that  his  two  customers  were  totally  deaf,  as 
they  pretended  to  be,  and  he  accordingly 
conversed  with  great  fluency,  and  told  the 
most  extravagant  stories  of  the  virtues  of 
his  tonic.  After  a  few  daj-3,  however,  a 
perceptible  gloom  came  upon  him.  He 
would  begin  a  sentence,  and  suddenly  break 
off  "with  a  sigh.  He  would  bring  a  bottle  of 
tonic  half-way  across  the  room,  and  then 
sadly  exclaiming,  "But  what's  the  use; 
they're  deafer'nany  posts .' "  would  replace 
it  on  the  shelf.  At  the  end  of  the  first 
Week  he  had -entirely  ceased, all  attempts 
at  conversation  and  had  grown  per- 
ceptibly thinner.  The  written  record 
of  his  case  shows  that  in  four 
weeks  he  lost  thirty-eight  pounds  and 
grew  so  nervous  that  he  could  not  shave  a 
customer  ■without  running  the  risk  of  cut- 
ting him..  When  this  last  symptom  showed 
itself  the  medical  students  ceased  to  be 
shaved,  and  contented  themselves  with 
undergoing  the  operation  of  shampooing 
daily.  In  four  weeks  the  barber  was  a 
ruined  man.  He  had  cut  so  many  of  his  old 
patrons  that  they  suspected  him  of  intoxica- 
tion and  abandoned  his  shop,  and  he  was 
forced  to  discharge  his  journeymen  for  lack 
of  work  to  keep  them  busy.  Three  days  later 
he  took  to  his  bed,  wasted  to  a  mere  skele- 
ton, and  died  a  broken-hearted  man.  From 
the  time -that  the  medical  students  began 
their  experiment  until  the  date  of  its  final 
and  triumphant  success  was  exactly  fifty- 
one  days,  and  there  can  be  no  question 
that  the  barber's  disease  was  simply  sup- 
pressed conversation.  So  general  is  the 
fear  of  deaf  men  among  barbers  that  in 
most  cases  they  make  a  point  of  so  hacking 
and  cutting  any  deaf  customer  who  may 
come  under  the  razor  that  the  unhappy 
man  never  again  ventures  within  their 
clutches.  This  explains  why  deaf  men  uni- 
versally shave  themselves — a  fact  which  has 
hitherto  never  been  explained.  Still,  a  deaf 
man  of  really  philanthropic  tendencies 
could  do  much  good  by  constantly  having 
himself  shampooed,  and  the  barber  who  at- 
tempted to  kill  himself  may  have  been 
driven  to  desperation  in  precisely  this  way. 

Oi-  he  may  have  met  a  customer  of  super- 
human firmness  andrextraordinary  self-abne- 
gation, who  may  have  voluntarily  and  habit- 
ually lured  him  on  to  describe  with  the  ut- 
most fullness ,  all  the  iuiaginary  virtues  of 
his  tonic,  only  to  dash  his  hopes  by  calmly 
refusing  to  buy  it-.  There  are  men  of  iron 
will  who  would  be  quite  willing  to  engage 
ii^this  noble  work,  were  it  to  be  suggested 
to  tusm.  Thei-e  is  no  doubt  that  by  such  a 
process5-«teadily  carried  out,  a  barber  could 
be  driven  either  to  ins  anity  or  suicide.  It 
seems  too  much  to  hope,  but,  nevertheless, 
some  noble  man  may  be  even  now  laboring 
in  the  tonsorial  field ;  and  the  recent 
suicidal  attempt  may  be  the  first  fruit  of  his 
harvest.  Everybody  has  heard  of  the  Mo- 
ravian missionaries  who  voluntarily  impris- 
oned themselves  for  life  in  a  leper's  hospi- 
tal. Why  shoiffi  not  some  modem  philan- 
thropist emulate  their  .  devotion,  and  spend 
his  life  in  bringing  barbers  to  a  sense  of  the 
wi-;kedness  of  Uieir  ways  f 

Of  cota-se,  it  may  bo  possible  that  the 
suicidal  barber  ■was  the  victim  of  remorse  ; 
and  the  fast  th£,t  ho  tried  to'  take  his  life 
with  the  devastating  tonic  with  which  he  had 
maddened  his  feUff^-men  gives  a  certain 
«ir  of  olavsibiUfir  to  t]ui  t])»oxr.    But.  oa 


the  other  band,  who  ever  heard  of  a  repent- 
ant barber  T  In  the  whole  list  of  the  pub- 
lications of  .^e  Tract  Society  there  is  not 
a  single  reoo^  of  a  barber  who  forsook  his 
conversational  ways,  threw  a^way  his  tonic, 
and  shaved  his  customers  in  Christian 
silence.  The  most  depraved  of  men  en- 
gaged in  criminal  pursuits  but  little  less 
revolting  than  that  of  the  conversation- 
al barber  have  been  known  to  become 
penitent  and  to  abandon  their  evil  eonrses, 
but  the  barb«r  hardens  his  heart  with  con- 
stant conversation  and  sears  his  conscieijce 
■with  tonic  to  that  extent  that  for  him  th^ 
is  apparentiy  no  such  thing  as  reformation. 
Whatever  may  have  been  the  motive  of 
the  suicidal  barber,  the  great  central  fact 
that  he  drank  his  own  tonic  and  hacked 
himself  with  his  own  razor  stiU  remains. 
Will  his  example  prove  of  any  practical 
value,  and  vrill  other  barbers  go  and  do 
Uke^wise  T  It  is  true  that  we  cannot  urge 
upon  the  barbers  the  duty  of  suicide,  but  if 
they  utterly  refuse  to  abandon  conversa- 
tion and  tonic  they  may  be  sure  that  if 
they  lay  violent  hands  upon  themselves  the 
world  will  feel  almost  kindly  forward  them, 
and  liberal  men  will  gladly  subscribe  a  fund 
to  pay  their  funeral  expenses.

The  Troy  Press  (Democratio)  says:  "  The

A  country  paper  says  that  the  burial  of  the 
favorite  cat  of  a  Kewport  family  "cost  $10,  or,  say, 
166  loaves  of  bread."  Possibly  the  undertaker  and 
his  assistants  were  glad  to  get  the  SIO  to  buy  bread 
with. 

TheMeriden  (Conn.)  SeramJer  makes  the  se-

wickedness  visible  at  tne^Vijiiiralle  Camp-meeting  on

race it  has  ever  known. 

The  story  that  Senator  Ben.  H.  Hill  has 
buried  his  war-horse  has  astonished  some  of  the 
Georgians  who  know  him.  One  of  their  papers  says 
bitterly  that  "  if  he  has  buried  any  of  his  hoDbiss  we 
have  yet  to  hear  of  it." 

The  suggestion  that  ex-Gov.  A.  G.  Brovm 
should  run  as  an  Independent  candidate  for  Gov- 
ernor, in  Mississippi,  put  the  Democrats  into  a  state

of  relief,  now  that  he  declines. 

Rev.  Charles  H.  Leinbach,  of  Pennsylvania, 
claims  that  in  the  past  13  years  he  lias  preached 
1.450  sermons.tiaptized  1,010  infants  and  50  adults, 
preached  510  funeral  sermons,  married  350  couples, 
and  administered  communion  to  12,000  persons. 

Pottsville  has  the  champion  idiot.  He  chanced 
to  see  half  a  dozen  merry  ladies  run  part  way  across 
a  bridge  during  one  of  the  recent  pleasant  moonlight

manners." 

A  teachers'  Institute  in  ■Washineton  Territory 
declared  that  female  teachers  are  entitled  to  the 
same  pay  as  males  for  the  same  services.  Of  course 
in  that  far-o£t  and  presumably  ben%hted  region  they 
can't  be  expected  td  see  that  the  other  and  accepted 
plan  is  just. 

The  West  still  has  some  lively  towns.  Mayor 
Gwin,  of  Effingliam.  BL,  has  been  fined  $10  for  an 
assault  on  the  City  Attorney,  and  the  latter  has  been 
fined  $5  for  hitting  back.  And  the  Marshal  ■was 
specifically  instructed  to  send  both  to  the  rock-pile 
in  default  of  payment. 

The  Atlanta  (Gra.)  Oons<«<M<w»  says  that  it  is 
an  open  question  whether  Toombs  ever  gets  back  the 
money  he  loans  the  Constitutional  Convention.  Just 
let  the  State,  that  at  his  suggestion  repudiates  its 
bonds,  repudiate  his  clnim,  and  then  listen  to  his 
prolonged  bowl  of  wrath. 

Sixty  murderers  and  20  other  criminals  are  at 
large  in  Tennessee,  for  whose  arrest  rewards  aggrega- 
ting $20,000  have  been  offered  ineffectually.  Ten- 
nessee is  Democratic,  and,  of  course,  the  laws  are 
rigorously  enforced,  (if  we  can  believe  the  Demo- 
cratic officials  and  papers.)

Ills :  and  their  daughters  fr^m  6  feet  2  to  6  feet  S. 
At  least,  these  are  the  figures  given -by  the  jEentue-

Mr.  Williams'  letter  accepting  the  Democratic 
nomination  for  Governor  of  Maine  must  rasp  the 
old  liners.  He  admits  that  he  only  came  back  to  the. 
party  in  1876  after  20  yeaH'  estrangement,  and  he 
expresses  the  hope  in  so  many  words  that  he  may 
be  instrumental  in.  aiding  the  party  to  recover  the 
prestige  of  former  days,  and  revive  the  memory  of  Its 
ancient  renown.  -  . 

The  Baltimore  Oaatte  is  in  a  blissful  frame 
of  mind  because  Gov.  Carroll  did  not  thank  the 
General  Government  for  the  troops  sent  to  suppress 
the  rioters.  It  says:  "It  -was  the  duty  of  the 
moment  for  the  Governor  to  call  for  the  troops  ;  it 
was  the  duty  of  the  Federal  Government  to  furnish 
them  ;  there  la  no  question  of  gratitude  or  of  com- 
plimentin  the  matter,  and  it  is  well  that  no  phrase 
in  the  correapondenceshonldconvevthatsuggestion." 
Some,  j^abama  Democrats  have  formally  adopt- 
ed th  is  resolution :  "  It  is  -with  indignation  we  see,  and 
we  hereby  call  the  attention  of  all  good  Democrat* 
to  the  fact,  that  there  still  are  men  in  Dallas  Coun- 
ty, self-styled  Democrats,  who  for  gain,  or  some  un- 
known cause,  make  bonds  for  Badical  officials, 
thereby  greatly  damaging  the  public  welfare,  and  we 
recommend  thitt'these  men,  if  they  still  persist,  be 
marked  and  remembered  and  pointed  to  with  the 
finger  of  scorn  for  all  time  to  come."

TAET  CONVENTION. 

Milwaukee,  Wis.,  Aug.  24.— The  Na- 
tional  Board  of  Trade  reassembled  at  10  o'clock 
this  morning.  J.  D.  Hayes,  of  Detroit,  pr& 
sented  a  report  In  favor  of  establishing  a  De 
partment  of  Commerce,  the  chief  officer  ol 
which  to  be  a  member  of  the  Cabinet.  The  fol- 
lowing resolutions,  submitted  by  ^e  Cbieas« 
Board  of  Trade,  were  taken  up  ;        -    ■ 

W/urrat,  Congress  by  an  act  revising  the  ecrininc 
basis  of  the  United  States,  a^-proved  Ib'^b.  12,  18TS7 
failed  to  provide  for  any  siiver  coin  cf  full  legal 
tender  qoiuity ;  and  whereas,  subsequent  legislatian 
by  other  commercial  nation.-*  has  areatly  restricted 
the  use  of  silver  money,  thereby  reauciiig"  its  bullion 
value  relatively  -with  gold  lic^ow  what  iias  been  ob- 
tained for  more  c}utn  a  ceiilurv  past,  and  if  per- 
sisted in  must  inevitably  destroy  or  greatly  <",pp,r  tta 
stability  and  value  as  a  medium  of  exchange  bei-ween 
nations ;  and.  whereas,  any  metal  to  be  of  per- 
manent utility  as  a  medium  by  which  the  values  of 
other  conunodities  are  mp-uured  should  possess  a 
recognized  commercial  value  as  well  Kmong  nations 
as  among  individuals,  and  the  use  as  money  of  two 
or  more  metals  by  commercial  nations  npon 
different  relations  of  venation  can  only 
result  in  complications  and  .bi  loss  to  those  placing 
the  higher  varoation  upon  one  as  compared  with  the 
other,  or  else,  as  in  the  past  experience  of  the  Tnited 
States,  the  banishment  from  ciircolatiou  of  the  one 
undervalued  ;  and.  whereas,  it  is  not  deemed  desira* 
ble  if  it  were  possi'ole  to  discard  as  monev  the  greater 
part  of  the  world's  stock  of  coin  metal  hitherto  in 
use  as  money,  therefore, 

Betolvtd,  That  the  Kational  Board  of  Trade  t«. 
spectfully  urges  upon  Congress  that  immediate  steps 
be  taken  to  secure  an  intcniational  monetary  con- 
vention representing  the  leadinc'  commerlcial  na- 
tions, for  the  purpose  of  establishing,  it  possible,  a 
permanent  valuation  between  gold  and  silver,  and 
their  unrestricted  coinage  and  use  as  money  of  ex- 
change  by  the  participants  in  such  convention,  to  tho 
end  that  stability  may  be  imported  to  all  financial 
circulations  and  'enteixrises.  both  foreign  and  do- 
mestic, of  the  people  of  the  ITnltwd  States. 

The  resolution  was  adopted,  wi^  only  ono 
negative  vote.  The  resolution  submitted  by  the 
Cincinnati  Chamber  of  Commerce  was  then 
taken  up,  as  follows  : 

lUsohtd.  That  the  National  BoarJ  of  Trade.  In 
view  of  the  near  approach  of  the  time  appointed  fci 
the  redemption  of  specie  puynients.  and  also  in  view 
of  the  character  and  effect  o'f  the  coinage  act  of  Feb. 
12.  1S73.  respectfully  recommend  to  the  Coneress  of 
the  Vnited  States  the' consideration  of  the  propriety 
of  re-establishing  the  silver  dollar  of  the  weight  and 
fineness  existing' at  the  time  of '  the  passage  of  said 
act.  as  a  unit  of  money  value. 

Mr.  Gano.  of  Cincinnati,  spoke  at  length  in 
support  of  the  resolution.  The  debate  was  con- 
tinued by  Messrs.  Winser,  of  Philadelphia : 
Ropes,  of  Boston  ;  Buchanan,  of  Trenton ; 
Snow,  of  New- York,  and  Montgomery,  of  Port- 
land, Oregon.  Mr.  "Taylor,  of  Cincinnati,  moved 
an  amendment  limiting  the  coinage  to  $50,- 
000,000.  Adopted— yeas  16.  nays  6.  The 
vote  on  the  resolution  resulted — ^yeas  11,  nays 
11,  not  two-thirds  in  the  aSimiktive,  so  the 
resolution  was  declared  defeated. 

The  committees  were  announced  as  follows  : 

On  Canadian  Reciprocity — Messrs.  Fraley.  Phila- 
delphia:  Stranahan,  New-York:  Hill.  Boston;  Mc-

Gardner  Hubbard  and  D.  M.  For.  of  the 
United  States  Postal  Commission,  addressed  the 
board  in  support  of  the  following  resolutions : 

Resolved.  That  the  interests  of  the  mercantile  and 
business  community,  as  well  as  social  interests,  re- 
quire that  appropriations  for  the  Post  Office  Depart- 
ment be  made  like  those  of  other  departments,  com- 
mensurate with  the  wants  of  the  service  without 
special  reference  to  its  ordinary  revenues. 

Sesoleed,  That  the  constantly  increasing  demands 
for  more  rapid  and  certain  transportation  of  cor- 
respondence  require  the  grafting  into  the  service  as 
one  of  its  recognized  features  t"he  establishment  of 
two  limited  mail  trains  between  the  East  and  West, 
and  one  between  the  Nortn  and  South. 

Sfsolced,  That  to  obtain  the  greatest  efficiency  in 
the  service  the  Postmaster-General  should  have  power 
to  direct  at  what  hours  and  at  what  speed  m^il  mat- 
ter should  be  transmitted,  and  that  provision  may  be 
made  to  determine  any  differences  that  may  arise  be- 
tween the  Government  and  the  carrying  companies. 

Resolved,  That  an  increased  appropriation  is  recom- 
mended to  enable  the  Post  OfRce'  Department  to  fur- 
nish the  South  with  a  postal  service,  in  proportion  to 
its  extent  and  territory,  equal  to  that  of  the  other 
sections  of  the  country. 

The  resolutions  were  laid  on  the  table  under 
the  ruJes.  Resolutions  were  adopted  directing 
that  a  memorial  be  addressed  to  the  President 
of  the  Unite<l  States  by  the  National  Board  of 
Trade  recommending  "the  appointment,  as  far 
as  possible,  of  men  to  foreign  Consulships  who 
are  familiair  with  the  manufacturing  interests 
of  this  country,  and  that  a  system  of  reports  be 
de^vised  which  shall  lay  before  our  manufac- 
turers at  least  semi-annually  the  wants' and 
needs  of  different  countries  which  may  be  snp

Secretary  of  the  Treasury  is  justified  in  settxns 
aside  a  fraudulent  claim  against  the  Govern- 
ment, although  the  claim  has  been  allowed  by 
the  Southern  Claims  Commission,  and  mone; 
for  its  payment  appropriated  by  Con- 
gress. Th©  opinion  was  written  in  refers 
ence  to  the  claim  of  Caleb  Tompkins, 
of  Georgia,  for  damages  growing  oat  of  the 
war.  The  Southern  Commission  allowed  it,  re- 
ported it  to  Congress  according  to  law,  and 
money  was  appropriated  for  its  pa-vtnent :  but 
evidence  has  recently  come  to  the  Treasair  De- 
partment to  show  that  it  is  fraudulent.  Al- 
though there  is  no  law  authorizing  the  Secre- 
tary to  refuse  to  pay  claims  of  this  character, 
aUli,  in  the  light  of  the  evidenM  before  hijn, 
which  was  discovered  subsequent  to  the  declsioc 
ol  the  Southern  Claims  Commission,  Solicitoi 
Robinson  is  of  the  opiniou  that  the  *6ecretary 
can  legally  postpone  its  payment  until  he  can 
have  reported  the  matter  to  Congress,  and  let 
thatliody  repeal  the  bill  authorizing  the  pay- 
ment  of  the  claims.

4pt<c<iil  ZKVKUdk  ta  M<  jr«ic-T'<n-:k  ZlmoL 

CmoAGO,  Aug.  24.— The  matter  of  the 
nle  of  stock  of  the  National  Life  InBonnce 
Oompany  to  astitfy  a  claim  against  the  Bepab- 
llc  Ufe  Company,  came  up  again  to-day  before 
the  court  here.  Before  proceedings  on  deciding 
hida  already  opened  were  had,  a  letter  was  read 
ttom  V.  H.  Higgina,  of  this  city,  offering 
$270,000  for  the  $1,000,000  stock  offered, 
■whioh  was  $40,00amore  tlian  had  been  pre- 
Wooudy  bid  for  the  same.  The  attorney  repre- 
senting the  National  objected  to  this,  saying 
there  was  danger  of  wrecking  both  campanies, 
and  he  wished  the  sale  to  be  made  to  the  previ- 
ous party  making  the  highest  bid. 
A  petition  from  one  of  the  policy- 
holders of  the  Republic  was  read,  stating  that 
Oie  sale  would  result  in  the  loss  of  more  than 
11,000,000  to  the  creditors  of  the  Republic, 
ind  asking  that  the  stock  be  not  sold, 
and  that  the  affairs  of  the  National  be 
referred  to  a  Master  for  investigation. 
Eeceiver  Ward  reported  that  there  was 
a  surplus  of  over  $500,000  on  the  basis  of  4 
per  cent,  reserve  in  the  National  Life  over  the 
liabilities.  As  the  premiums  paid  are  over  6 
per  cent,  basis,  the  relations  to  policy-holders 
would  be  on  that  basis  and  the  surplus  in- 
creased. Since  May  1,  1877,  to  Aug.  1, 
1877,  policies  in  the  National  Life  have 
lapsed  to  the  amount  of  $1,200,000— 
an  annual  premium  of  $39,000.  The  total 
ledger  and  unrealized  assets,  July  1.  were  re- 
ported by  the  Receiver  at  $4,086,825  :  liabili- 
ties, $3,551,030.  By  this  statement, 
the  National  is  worth  to-day  $15,200 
less  than  it  was  purchased  for  in  1874.  The 
time  for  the  sale  was  extended  by  the  court  for 
30  days.  The  claim  on  the  National,  the  court 
held,  must  be  paid.

Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  Aug.  24. — Gen. 
Howard  arrived  at  Vii-ginia  City,  Montana,  this 
morning,  and  left  this  evening  for  Henry's 
I'ake,  where  his  force  awaits  supplies.  The  re- 
port of  Sitting  Bull  being  at  Fort  Peck  is  con- 
tradicted by  a  Helena  dispatch.  He  is  still  in 
the  British  possessions. 

Salt  Lake  Citt,  Aug.  24.— Advices  from 
Snake  River  Bridge,  Idaho,  received  this  even- 
ing, say  that  Capt.  Bainbridga  and  his  force 
from  Fort  Hall  have  returned,  that  the  Indians 
are  at  Henry's  Lake,  and  that  Gen.  Howard  is 
one  day  behind  them.  Many  of  the  Bannock 
Indians  who  went  with  Capt.  Bainbridge  from 
Fort  Hall  have  returned  with  quite  an  amount 
of  stock,  which  thev  picked  up  after  it  had  been 
used  up  and  left  by  the  hostilea. 

A  report  from  Virginia  City,  Montana,  says 
Indians  are  reported  this  morning  on  Madison 
River,  40  miles  below  Henrv's  Lake.  Most  of 
the  families  in  the  Madison  Valley  came  to  Vir- 
ginia City  during  the  night. 

The  Indians  have  gathered  many  horse-s,  and 
have  killed  one  man  on  Wolf  Creek.  It  is  prob- 
ably only  a  straggling  party,  but  it  cuts  off  com- 
munication with  Gen.  Howard  by  that  route. 
Couriers  and  provision  wagons  en  route  have 
been  stopped.  No  news  has  been  received  from 
Gen.  Howard  since  Wednesday  night. 

Some  of  Gen.  Miles'  command  are  moving  up 
the  Yellowslone  in  front  of  the  Indians.     The 
Indians  secured  about  100  horses  in  the  Madi- 1 
son  Valley,  but  have  now  left.

CRIMES  AXD  CRmiyALS. 

St.  Louis,  Aug.  24. — The  members  of  a 
notorious  gang  of  horse-thieves,  who  have  been 
operating  in  western  Missouri  for  several 
months  past,  were  captured  yesterday.  They 
were  concealed  in  a  wheat-stack  three  miles 
from  Concordia.  Several  stolen  horses  in  their 
possession  were  secured.  Two  of  the  thieves 
were  taken  to  Brownsville,  where  the  latest  rob- 
bery had  been  committed,  and  the  other  one 
was  lodged  in  the  Warrensburg  Jail.  It  is  said 
that  the  gang  to  which  these  men  belong  have 
60  horses  on  hand,  and  that  they  have  stolen 
over  300  aniTT,,tla  since  last  May.  A  number  of • 
persons  are  implicated  in  the  depredations. 
Other  arrests  will  follow,  and  it  is  hoped  that  ■ 
the  gang  will  be  entirely  broken  up. 

Wmrnio,  Ala.,  Aug.  24.— To-day.  as  a  train 
was  leaving  Pensacola,  the  Sheriff.'with  a  posse, 
boarded  the  cars  to  assist  a  couple  of  Texas 
officers  in  arresting  a  notorious  fellow  named 
John  Wesley  Harden^who  is  credited  with  com- 
mitting no  less  than  27  murders,  and  for  whose 
body  $4,000  reward  was  authorized  by  an  act 
of  the  Legislature  of  Tesas,  The  last  murder 
by  Harden  in  Texas  was  that  of  the  Sheriff  of 
Comanche  County.  Harden  has  lived  in 
Florida  for  several  years  under  the  name  of 
John  Swain.  In  making  the  arrest  atwut  20 
ihots  were  fired,  and  a  companion  of  Harden, 
named  Mann,  who  had  a  pistol  in  his  hand,  was 
killed.

living  near  Charleston,  West  Va.,  was  arrested 
yesterday  for  poisoning  his  wife.  She  was  his 
third  wife,  both  the  former  wives  having  died 
suddenly  under  what  were  considered  suspicious 
circumstances,  and  it  is  now  supposed  he 
poisoned  them  also.  The  bodies  wul  be  ex- 
humed and  examined  for  traces  of  poison.  Dr. 
Cooper  was  a  man  of  violent  temper,  especially 
when  intoxicated.

^tcMDlifaiaHolluSem-TorkTIam. 
Habttord,  Conn.,  Ang.  24. — ^XTnder  the 
joint  stock  law  of  this  State,  stockholders  are 
not  personally  liable  beyond  the  amoimt  of 
their  stock  sniMeriptions,  wliile  in  some  other 
States  a  penonal  liability  is  attached,  with  some 
defined  limit.  Parties,  therefore,  who  go  into 
corporate  enterprises  for  purely  speculative 
purposes,  and  on  fictitious  canital,  find  it  veiy 
convenient  to  avoid  risk  by  taking  advantage  of 
the  liberal  provisions  of  the  Connecticut  law. 
All  they  have  to  do  is  to  appoint  attorneys  here, 
and  on  the  strength  of  that  the  corporation  goes 
on  record  as  located  in  Hartford,  or  such  place  as 
the  attorney  may  reside  in ;  yet  all  the  affairs  of 
the  concern  are  conducted  outside,  and  if  there 
is  any  swindling  about  it  Connecticut  suffers  in 
reputation.  An  examination  of  the  records  in 
the  ofBce  of  the  SecretaiT-  of  State  to-day  shovrs 
that  even  in  these  dull  tlmea  for  business,  and 
especially  for  new  ventures,  there  have  been  69 
incorporations  since  the  1st  of  January,  their 
aggregate  capital  on  paper  amotmting  to  within 
a  fraction  of  $16,000,000.  Out  of  the  whole 
amount  $2,000,000  only  represent  legitimate 
establishments  in  this  State.  The  greater 
portion  represent  Massachusetts  speculations, 
there  being  but  one  from  New- York,  and  that 
the  Insurance  Lamp  Company,  with  a  capital  of 
$50,000.  The  figures  are  so  suggeetive  that 
possibly  the  next  Legislature  will  place  some 
restriction  noon  outside  parties,  so  as  not  to  put 
the  seal  of  the  State  upon  questionable  enter- 
prises. 

THB  ST.  LOUIS  WSISKT  CASE. 
St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Aug.  24. — ^A  demurrer 
and  an  answer  in  the  case  of  the  United  States 
against  A.  M.  McKee  were  filed  in  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court  to-day  by  defendant's  coim- 
sel.  The  demurrer  is  against  all  the  counts  and 
causes  of  action  from  No.  1  to  No. 
454.  covering  the  time  from  Sept.  1, 
1871,  to  Aug.  3,  1872,  on  the  ground 
that  they  are  barred  by  limitation.  The 
answer  is  a  general  denial  of  all  the  remainder 
of  the  counts  from  No.  455  to  No.  1,653,  and 
alleges  that  the  Govemmei^  cannot  maintain 
the  present  suit  against  the  defendant  for  the 
reason  that  he  was  indicted,  tried,  aad  con- 
victed on  the  same  general  charge  as  that 
now  brought  against  him  in  187o,  was  sen- 
tenced to  imprisonment  and  to  pay  a  fine,  and 
that  he  was  subsequentiy  granted  full  and  un- 
conditional pardon  by  the  President,  which-  was 
accepted,  and  the  court  released  him. 


CSAJfOES  X2V  OFFICE. 
WASHDfaTOiT,  Aug,  24. — There  is  con- 
llderable  comment  here  npon  the  affairs  of  the 
District  Government,  growing  out  of  rumors 
that  several  changes  are  contemplated  in  various 
important  olBces.  In  one  office — that  of  Sur- 
veyor— a  change  has  already  been  made,  Mr. 
Forsythe  gplving  place  to  Mr.  J.  R.  Partridge, 
but  the  intimations  made  by  the  Commissioners 
of  the  District  do  not  indicate  further  removals 
of  consequence,  with  perhaps  one  or  two  excep- 
tions. It  is  mentioned  upon  the  best  author^ 
Ity  that  the  office  of  Inspector  of  Buildings 
wiD  be  subjected  to  investigation,'  and  perhaps 
other  positions  will  be  made  matters  of  consid- 
eration, with  a  view  to  further  official  action, 
but  there  is  no  authority  as  yet  for  any  such 
statement  of  wholesale  removals  as  some  are  dis- 
posed to  believe  will  take  place.  The  more  im- 
portant positions  are  those  of  Water  Registrar, 
now  heW  by  CoL  Timothy  Lnbey  ;  Collector, 
held  br  Mr.  John  P.  Cook ;  Treasurer,  Mr. 
Robert  Dodge,  and  Auditor,  flUed  by 
Mr.  John  T.  Vinsen.  Of  these  officers  Messrs. 
Lubey  and  Cook  are  old  ofSeials  of  the  Govern- 
ment, ifr.  Cook  was  the  first  colored  man 
elected  to  office  in  this  District,  and  Col.  Lubey 
has  long  occupied  positions  of  responsibility 
here,  and  it  is  authoritatively  stated  that  no 
changes  will  be  made  in  any  of  these  positions. 
Lieut.  Hoxie,  of  the  United  States  Engineers, 
is  the  Engineer  of  the  District,  and  there  is  no 
prob»bilitv  whatever  of  a  change  in  that  posi- 
tioa,  as  his  servieee  are  entirely  satisfactory  to 
the  GovBTUnient.

EXPLANATION  OT  THE  MTSTEBT. 
At  10:30  o*clock  yesterday  morning  DetectlTe 
Sergevxt  Klely  and  Officer  Lyons  walked  np  to  the 
bar  of  the  Tombs  Police  Court  secompuiled  by  a 
genteely-dressed  man  of  appuently  40  years  of  age, 
alim  bnllt,  with  bigb  bulging  forehead,  thin,  regnUr 
featnres,  fresh  complexion,  sandy  hair,  monstaeha, 
and  side  whiskers,  the  latter  close  cropped,  or  of  re- 
cent growth,  and  wearing  a  black  diagonal  frock  coat, 
Btylish  gray  trousere,  ^d  a  high  white  casslmere  hat. 
Justice  Duffy  at  once  inqnired  "What  yoar  name  I"  The 
Btraoger  nonchalantly  replied,  "  Nelson  A-  Gesaner,'* 
pronouncing  each  part  of  the  name  with  studied  dis- 
tinctness. Justice  Ihiffy  then  said  :  "  You  are  ac- 
cused in  an  afadaTit,upcn  which  the  warrant  for  your 
arrest  was  granted,  with  having  been  the  head  of  a 
band  of  forgers  who  have  been  operating  on  the  lead- 
ing banks  of  this  country,  from  California  to  New- 
York.  One  of  the  counsel  of  the  Union  Trust  Com- 
pany, Mr.  Wheeler  H.  PedEbam,  came  to  me 
two  or  three  days  ago,  and  stated  that  you 
were  stopping  at  the  Fifth-ATenue  Hotel, 
and  he  wanted  a  warrant  for  you.  I  went  up  there, 
but  did  not  deena  the  evldenee  against  you  sufficient- 
ly strone  at  the  time  to  grant  the  warrant.  Subse- 
quently, Mr. Wheeler  H.  Peckham  and  the  party  who 
makes  this  affidavit  came  to  this  Police  Court  and 
received  a  warrant,  on  the  strength  of  which  you 
have  been  taken  into  custody."  Gessner,  who  had 
been  listening  with  admirable  politeness,  said,  as 
though  supposing  the  haraosue  at  an  end  :  "  Yes, 
Sfar."  Justice  Duffy  continued :  *'  The  ofBcers 
have  done  their  duty  in  bringing  you  here,  but 
it  appears  that  the  witnesses  are  not  present 
and  it  will  be  necessary  for  me  to  remand  you  back 
to  Head-quarters  until  3  o'clock."  With  another  po- 
lite *'  Yes,  Sir, "  Gessner  turned  about  and  walked  out 
of  court  between  the  detectives.  On  the  sidewalk  he 
presented  each  with  a  cigar,  lighted  another  himself, 
and,  gayly  chatting,  the  three  proceeded  up  Centre 
stieet  to  Spring,  thence  down  to  Mulberry,  and  up 
Mulberry  to  the  Central  Office,  where  the  prisoner 
was  kept  rigidly  excluded  from  the  gaze  of  prying  re- 
porters. 

The  affidavit— or  affidavits,  rather,  for  there  are 
two  of  them — spoken  of  by  Justice  Daffy,  are  as  fol-

JOSEPH  M.  THOMPSON. 

Subscribed  and  sworn  to  before  me  this  -"2d  day  of 
August,  1877.  P.  Q.  DUFPY.  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

Thompson  is  Spra^e,  alias  Henderson,  stlas  Bettsi 
alias  Stfvens,  the  backer  and  leader  of  the  gang. 
Weston  being  the  chemist  and  Uessner  the  writer. 
Under  the  last  name  he  Is  now  residing — and  has 
been  since  Modday  last — at  the  Gilsey  House,  in 
charge  of  the  "  Dr."  S.  H.  Carney  who  assisted 
Jayne  In  Chicago. 

After  the  adjournment  of  the  court  Justice  Duffy 
made  a  statement  to  the  reporters  to  the  effect  that 
he  had  known  for  several  days  tiiat  the  prisoners  had 
arrived  In  the  City  lu  charge  of  Chicago  detectives, 
and  that  they  were  confined  in  the  Fifth-Avenue 
HoteL  They  had  been  brought  on  without  any 
requisition,  as  the  laws  of  the  State  of  lUiuois 
reqtiire  30  days'  time  before  one  can  be  granted. 
The  prisoners  Icnowlng  this,  elected  to  come 
on  of  their  own  free  will,  but,  as  they  were  not 
taken  before  any  Police  Justice  oStheir  arrival,  bad 
they  only  known  thefact,  they  wer«  free  men  direct- 
ly they  landed  in  New;- York,  as  no  warrant  had  been 
issued  for  their  arrest.  On  Tuesday  last  Mr.  \Vheeler 
H.  Peclcham  called  upon  Justice  Duffy  and  acqouiut- 
ed  him  with  the  facts  of  the  case,  but  asked  that  the 
utmost  secresy  should  be  observed  In  order  to  give  a 
little  time  to  the  New- York  detectives  to  obtalh  some 
missing  links  in  the  evidence  in  the  Third  National 
Bank  case,  and  If  po:i:sible  to  find  out  their 
conuection  with  the  $61,000  tor^eiy  on  the  Union 
Trust  Company.  Justice  Duffy  went  to  the  hotel 
and  saw  the  men  were  comfortably  located,  and  the 
next  day  (Wednesday)  they  were  brought  down  to 
tixe  Tombs  and  a  private  conference  held  in  the  pri- 
vate room.  On  Thursday  Mr.  Peckham,  deeming  the 
case  complete,  applied  for  a  warrant  in  the  usual 
form,  and  the  prisoners  were  handed  over  to  the  cus- 
tody of  Superintendent  Walling. 

It  was  after  4  o'clock  when  the  preliminaries  of 
Gessner 's  examination  were  restunt-d.  Meantime 
Justice  Duffy  had  been  engaged  trying  a  case  in 
Special  Sessions.  Gessner,  in  charge  uf  Sergt.  Kiely 
and  Detective  Lyon,  arrived  promptly  on  the  minute 
at  3  o'clock  With  him  were  Counselors  James 
Oliver  and  D.  B.  Waldrou,  of  Waldron  &  Sterling, 
his  lawyers.  He  was  put  into  the  prison  pen, 
but.  on  the  remonstrance  of  counsel,  ^was  immedi- 
ately afterward  let  out  and  given  a  seat  at  the 
side  of  the  Justice's  bench.  The  temporary  Indig- 
nity seemed  to  discomfit  him  greatly.  Reporters 
were  not  allowed  to  approach  him.  His  wife  and 
brother  had  arrived  some  time  previous  and  were 
permitted  to  occupy  seats  in  the  private  examination 
room  in  the  rear  of  the  court.  Mrs.  Gessner,  a  lady- 
like personage  in  a  suit  of  embroidered  brown  linen, 
wept  almost 'continuously — or  appeared  to  do  so.  A 
shoiit  time  before  the  opening  of  court  she  was 
taken  to  her  htiaband  and  allowed  to  converse  with 
him.  The  St.  Xx>uis  bond  forgers  having  been  ar- 
raigned and  remanded,  Oessner's  name  was  called. 
He  stepped  confidently  to  the  bar.  Counselor  Oliver 
demanded  to  see  the  affidavit  upon  which  the  war- 
rant was  granted,  but  Justice  Duffy  paid  no  atten- 
tion to  him,  and  was  about  adjourning  the  case 
until  11  A.  M.  to-day,  whe  n  Counselor 
Waldron  spoke  up  and  asked  for  a  postponement 
until  Tuesday  next  in  order  to  give  counsel  time 
to  prepare  their  case.  Gessner.  he  said,  had  been  so 
securely  taken  care  of  that  be  bad  had  no  opportu' 
nity  to  advise  with  any  one  for  his  defense.  Justice 
Duffy  said  that  Tuesday  was  a  Special  Sessions  day. 
Wednesday  did  not  suit  A^lstant  District  Attorney 
Herring,  who  appeared  for  the  prosecution.  Thurs- 
day was  finally  agreed  upon.  Gessner  said  to  his 
counsel  that  be  did  not  want  to  he  committed  to  the 
Tombs ;  that  he  would  prefer  to  rettini 
to  Police  Head-quarters.  when  the  propo- 
sition was  made  to  Justice  Duffy,  Seigt. 
Kiely  objected  pn  behalf  of  Superintendent  WalUng, 
on  the  ground  that  the  Central  Office  was  so  overrun 
with  lawyers  looldng  for  the  case  yestt  rday  morn- 
ing that  business  was  impeded  answering  thmr  ques- 
tions. His  Honor  made  out  a  commitment  to  the 
Tombs,  and  Gessner  was  led  off,  anxiously  request- 
ing bis  counsel  to  see  after  his  trunk, 
which,  he  said,  was  still  at  the  Fifth-Avenue 
Hotel.  Not  a  word  was  said  about  bail 
on  either  side.  The  Tiiras  reporter  subsequently 
had  a  conversation  with  the  prisoner  is  the  Tombs 
corridor.  Gessner  refused  with  profuse  regrets  to 
answer  any  questions  bearing  on  the  case;  or  on  his 
capture  by  Javne  and  mysterious  imprisonment.  He 
had  promise<{  his  cotinsel  that  he  would  not.  He 
said,  however,  that  Javne  had  taken  from  him  at  the 
time  of  his  arrest  $9(30  in  money  and  a  gold  watch, 
and  he  would  like  to  get  them  back  With  a  hearty 
**  Good  day,  gentlemen."  he  tripped  lightly  up  stairs 
to  lUs  cell  again.  Whatever  bis  misdeeds,  he  is  appar- 
ently a  man  of  education  and  refinement. 

Apart  from  the  nature  of  the  evidence  against 
Gessner  there  are  many  ctirious  points  about  the 
arrest  of  these  men  upon  which  those  interested  in 
the  prosecution  are  suspiciously  reticent,  and  that 
B«ed  alueidAtlon.  Not  the  least  curious  is  the  part 
taken  by  the  repreevntAtives  of  the  New- York  Life 
Insntaneo  Company  in  the  matter.  Although  the 
complaint  agamst  Gessner  refers  only  to  the 
Third  Natioixal  Bank  check  forgery,  it  la  no- 
torious that  the  Police  from  the  flnt  hare

Company  and  th«  amount  of  dspoalta  held  bV  tha  lat- 
ter for  the  former,  and  they  mMe  snch  use  'of  their 
knowledge  m  to  ffreatl^  enhance  their  ohaiieea  of 
sncceas.  WTiere  they  got  their  information  was  al- 
ways a  question  of  mach  interest  in  the 
esse,  ai^  it  has  been  freely  cliarped 
that  it  could  only  have  been  obtained 
from  some  one  in' the  employ  of  the  life  insar«ne« 
company.  Over  two  months  ago  It  was  given  ont  as 
a  dead  secret  in  Police  circles  ffaat  Jayne  was  work- 
ing on  a  clue  which  implicated  an  officer  of  the  eom- 
panr.  The  Union  Trust  Company  accepted  the  loss 
of  the  check,  and  credited  the  Now- York  Life  Insu- 
rance Company  with  the  amount  some  Urn* 
ago.  What  interest,  therefore,  the  latter  com- 
pany can  have  in  the  oonrietion  of  the 
forgen  and  the  retom  at  the  nooey  is  aot 
very  dear.  Yet  the  moment  the  news  of  the 
arrest  of  the  gang  was  published  Mr.  Henry  E.  Knox, 
of  the  firm  of  t^Jlerton,  Knox  &  Crosby,  counsel  for 
the  New-York  Life  Insurance  Company,  hurried  to 
the  City,  dispatched  ex-Detective  (xeorge  Elder  on  a 
secret  mission  to  Saratoga,  and  took  a  room  at  the 
fHfth-Avenne  Hotel,  where  the  prisoners  wore  con- 
fined. Mr.  Knox  did  not  appear  in  the  subsequent 
proceedings,  and  when  interviewed  had  nothing 
to  say  except  that  there  were  other  men  to  be 
arrested,  and  it  vgould  defeat  the  ends  of  justice 
to  have  anything  published  that  wotild  give,  them  a 
hint  to  get  out  of  the  way.  Yesterday  afternoon, 
while  Gessner  was  waiting  for  Justice  Lhiffy  to  open 
court,  a  yonng  lawyer  attached  to  PuUerton  ,Knoi  & 
Crosby's  office  entered,  and  with  much  difficulty  se- 
cured permission  to  converse  with  the  prisoner.  He 
remained  with  him  probably  half  an  hoar,  until  the 
proceedings  opened,  and  while  they  lasted  joined  in 
the  debate  in  oehaK  of  Gessner,  speaking  as  though 
he  had  been  retained  as  one  of  tlie  counsel  for  the  de- 
fense. When  these  facts  were  related  to  old  detec- 
tives yesterday,  thev  smiled  and  said  that  the  con- 
nection w-as  perfectly  clear  to  them — that  if  Mr.  Elder 
was  employed  in  the  case  he  was  not  working  against 
Gessner. 

The  action  of  ex-Speclal  Agent  Jayne  throughout 
the  case  is  severely  animadverted  upon,  not  only  In 
Police  circles,  but  throughout  the  City  gener^ly ; 
but  whethep  justly  or  not  is  yet  to  be  learned. 
Jayne's  only  supposable  interest  in  the  matter  was 
what  he  could  make  out  of  it.  It  is  asserted  in  cer~ 
t^u  quarters  that  when  he  left  on  his  hunt  he 
carried  in  his  pocket  a  contract  guaranteeing 
htm  a  certain  percentage  on  all  the  money  he  might  - 
be  able  to  forte  the  forgers  to  disgorge  beyond  a  cer- 
tain stun,  and  that  in  any  event  his  expenses  would 
be  paid.  An  answer  to  a  question  embodying  this 
allegation  could  not  be  obtained  from  Mr.  Ja\'ne.  All 
Mr.  Peckham  would  say  on  the  subject  was.  '^'  He  has 
no  contract  with  me."  At  the  offices  of  the  Union 
Trust  and  New- York  Life  Insurance  Companies  pro- 
found Ignorance  on  the  subject  was  expressed.  It 
is  now  certain  that  some  sort  of  immunity 
was  promised  to  Sprague  and  Weston  for  their  evi- 
dence. Mr.  Jayne,  in  conversation,  acknowledged  as 
much,  and  what  has  taken  place  during  the  past  few 
days  leaves  no  doubt  on  the  subject.  Whether 
Gessner  was  marked  for  pro.sf^cution  from  the  start 
or  not  is  a  problem.  The  curious  thing  about  it  Is 
his  apparent  willingness  to  come  on  here  for  trial 
and  the  indifference  wiih  which  he  permitt«d 
himself  to  be  imprisoned  for  five  days 
without  waixant  of  law.  Ho  seems  too  intelligent 
and  too  much  a  man  of  the  worldnot  to  know  that 
the  law  required  him  to  be  taken  before  a  magbitrato 
as  soon  as  possible  after  his  arrival  here,  and  that  in 
the  event  of  non-cumpllanco  on  the  part  of  his  cap- 
tors, a  writ  of  habeas  corpus  was  at  his  service. 
There  was  nothinc  to  prevent  his  communicating 
with  his  ffriends  at  any  time;  in  far-t.  there  was 
nothing  to  hinder  his  walking  out  of  the-  hotel. 
Jayne  &  Co.  woiild  not  have  dared  to  deter  him.  It 
is  given  out  by  parties  claiming  to  be  his  friends  that 
he  was  "  bullKlozed"  by  Juyne  into  the  belief  that  he 
was  under  legal  arrest,  and  that  they  did  not  know 
wliere  he  was.  It  is  this  fact,  that  Ge.SKner  was  not 
leeally  under  arrest,  if  all  is  straight  that  apjiears  on 
the  surface,  that  is  Jayne's  defense  for  keeping  him 
in  secret  confinement  so  long,  and  It  explains 
Mr.  Peckham's  apparent  cumpll'.-lty  in  what 
would  otherwise  have  been  a  dangerous  defiance 
of  law.  It  also  corroborates  Commissioner  Da- 
venport's denial  that  he  had  auv'thlng  to  do  with  the 
case.  The  evidence  on  which  this  gentleman's  name 
ffks  used  was  his  accidental  presence  in  the  Iiotels 
wfaere,  and  at  the  time  when,  Mr.  Peckham.  assisted 
oy  Stenographer  Adams,  was  examining  Sprague 
and  Weston,  and  perhaps  Gk-ssner.  Recent  events 
show  tliat  the  charge  against  the  forgors  was  not 
one  under  the  United  States  laws,  as  all  the  testi- 
mony obtainable  on  the  subject  at  first  seemed  to 
render  probable. 

The  latest  developments  have  given  rise  to  a  new 
theory  aoout  thc/<Sse  that  has  a  much  more  likely 
air  abont  it  thaii  the  compromise  story,  which  the 
complicity  ofMr.  Peckham  and  the  officers  of  the 
Union  Tru.srCompany  in  the  matter  mode  untenable 
from  the  start — this  is.  that  Javne  and  his  colleagues 
were  employed  by  the  Union  "f  rust  Company  with 
the  sole  view  of  brini;ing  to  justice  the  guilty 
officials  of  the  New- York  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, if  siu:h  there  be.  All  the  facts 
that  are  detailed  above,  and  all  that  have  come  to 
light,  seem  to  fit  nicely  into  such  a  theory,  and  the 
repeated  assertions  of  Messrs.  Jayne,  Peckham, 
Knox,  and  the  officers  of  the  Union  Trust  Company 
to  the  reporters  that  they  have  been  endeavoring  to 
compass  the  arrest  of  two  or  three  m<»re  men.  and 
have  been  Catherine  evidence  therefor,  helps  along 
it-i  probability,  while  there  are  many  things  in  the 
case  that  cannot  be  made  to  accord  with  any 
other  theory.  The  proseculioji  of  (tessner  is  the  only 
obstacle,  but  many  persons  regarded  that  as  merely 
a  shrewd  trick  to  which  the  detectives  have  been  com- 
pelled to  resort  by  the  enterprise  of  The  Times  in 
order  to  eain  time  and  dLtarm  suspicion.  The 
prisoner's  nonchalance  is  certainly  surprising.  It  Is 
even  asserted  that  Ju.stico  Dnffv  and  Ossner's  coun- 
sel are  In  the  secret,  and  that  tfiis  explains  the  delay 
in  forwarding  the  public  exitmination. 


THE  DEMOCHATW  OVERTUKOW, 


ITS  NEAR  COMINO  PREDICTED  BY  ONK  OP  THE 
PARTY — LETTER  FROM  EX-GOV.  A.  G. 
BROWN,  OF  MISSISSIPPI. 

The  following  letter  from  ex-Oov.  A.  G. 
Brown  is  printed  in  Mississippi  papers,  and  is  char- 
acterized OS  "  extraordinary  "  by  those  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Party  : 

Terry,  Hinds  County.  Miss..  Aug.  12,  1877. 
Janu*  A.  SUtem,  Etq..  Columbus,  MiM.: 

Dear  Sir:  Your  note  i»f  the  7th  inst.  was  received 
only  two  days  since,  still  it  would  have  received 
earlier  attention  but  that  I  have  been  otherwise  en- 
Kaged.  To  numerous  inquiries  such  as  yours,  ver. 
bally  and  in  writing,  I  have  replied  as  I  now  do  to 
you.  that  1  am  not  an  Independent  or  any  other  sort 
of  candidate  for  f^ovemor  or  anything  else. 

I  disapprove  of  much  that  has  been  done  by  the 
Democratic  Party  since  its  return  to  power  in  Mis- 
sissippi, and  I  have  said  so.  Its  acts  of  omissinn 
and  commission  do  not  afford  assurance  to  mjt  mind 
that  we  are  to  reap  those  rich  rewards  ihiit  were  so 
lavishly  promised  us  in  1^75  and  a;;aln  in  1H7(>.  Of 
thostf  matters  I  ImVe  spoken  freely,  but  I  have  writ- 
ten very  little.  It  Is  to  those  utterances.  I  suppose, 
that  I  am  indebted  for  the  fre'^uent  mention  of  my 
name  as  ait  Independent  candidate.  That  was  not 
what  I  meant. 

In  18(J7  1  felt  confident  that  the  white  men  of 
Mississippi  were  embarking  on  a  course  that  would 
lead  to  aiHHStor.  and  I  volunteered  to  tell  them  so. 
Yon  and  all  men  know  how  my  advice  was  receive.d. 
I  was  then  fresh  from  the  Ber%ice  of  the  people,  and 
held,  as  I  supposed,  a  sort  of  warrant  to  speak  when 
I  saw  danger  ahead.  Now  I  have  been  In  retirement 
I'i  years  and  more.  If  I  was  denounced  then  for 
volunteering  advice,  what  would  he  said  of  me  now 
if  I  should  ao  tlie  same  thin:;  t  I  feci  a  moral  con- 
viction that  the  DemntTatic  Partj-  is  hurrjing  on  Its 
own  overthrow,  not  this  year  peroaps,  hut  certainly 
in  the  not  distant  future-  If  I  pointed  to  where  the 
danger  lies  I  should  be  again  covered  wiili  obloquy, 
and  at  the  end  of  another  eight  or  ten  years — ill 
should  live  so  long—hear  people  In  one  Ijroath  lament 
the  folly  of  not  having  taken  mv  ad\ice  in  time,  and 
in  tlie  next  award  the  credit  of  Its  paternity  to  other 
people. 

I  want  no  office,  and  if  I  did  I  would  not  seek  it 
through  a  sea  of  defamation.  About  all  that  is  left 
me  is  to  do  my  own  tliiuking  and  my  own  voting, 
and  these  blessed  privileges  I  intend  to  exercise  to 
their  fullest  extent  during  the  remainder  of  my  Ufe. 
I  pretend  to  no  extraordinar>"  prescience.  But  I  am 
just  as  confident  that  I  am  right  now,  Kf  I  now  am 
that  I  was  right  In  IS67.  I  decline  giving  the  rea- 
sons for  the  faith  that  is  In  me<  You  will  read  my 
justification  in  what  I  have  written  above.  Very 
truly,  your  obedient  servant.  A.  G.  BROWN.

The  next  was  the  "free  for  all''  contest.  Rams, 
Great  Eastern,  and  Slow  Go  did  not  start.  Splan, 
questioned  whether  Karus  would  start,  replied  in 
the  negative,  and  when  asked  If  there  was  anything 
the  matter  with  the  horse,  simply  sold,  "No; 
nothing."  Horsemen  say  he  was  afraid  to  start, 
fearing  Lucille  would  beat  him.  The  starters  were 
Lucille     Golddust,     Hopeful,    and    Nettie.      In    the 

SKiIs  previous  to  the  first  heat  Lucille  brought  $100,

THE    ESTIJIATED   COST    $25,000,000 — 

THE  LOKGEST  SPAN  IN  THE  WOBLD. 

Capt.  James  B.   Eads,  Engineer  of  the  Iron 

Bridge  at  St.  Louis,  and  who  has  ao  sncoessfully 

planned  |  and  eonftnctad  the  Jetti«s  at  ^e  delta 

of  the  Mississippi  BiTer,  has  also  made   elsbontfl 

plans  for  a  grand  iron  bridge  over  the  Bosphoms, 

eonnectlug     Perm — European    Oonslantlnople— with 

the  Asiatic  shore.    This  project  of  the  distinguished 

engineer  Is  now  for  the   first  time  made  pnblic 

through  the  courtesy  of  Mr.  A-  0.  Lambert,  civil 

engineer,  who  has  been  largely  connected  with  great 

works  of  railway  and  bridge  constrtiction  In  ieveral 

cotmtries  of  the  Old  World,  and  also  In  Nebraska, 

Montana,  Idaho,   and  particularly  in  the  Southern 

States.     Mr.   Lambert,  in  conjunction  with    Capt. 

Eads,  drew  the  plans,  made  the  calculations,  and  as- 

ais.ed  at  the  surveys.    It  will  be  seen  that  the  work, 

when  constructed,  will  be  the  most  important  of  the 

kind  ever  completed,  affording  to  the  Turks,*  If  that 

day  ever  comes,  a  ready  back  door  out  of  Etirope,   In 

-which  they  took  up  their  residence  some  400  years 

ago. 

The  bridge  will  be  about  6,000  feet  long— over  a 
mile — ^will  have  15  spans ;  will  be  100  feet  wide,  and, 
save  the  masonry  and  flooring,  will  be  built  of  iron. 
The  height  of  the  roadway  above  the  stirface  of  the 
water  will  be  120  feet,  thus  affording  ample  passage* 
ways  beneath  the  arches  for  ingoing  and  outgoing 
ships.  It  will  be  observed  that  this  elevation  of  the 
bridge  above  the  Bosphoms  is  some  60  feet  less  Chan 
that  of  the  Brooklyn  Bridge  above  the  East  River, 
with  the  difference  that  the  former  Is  a  suspension 
bridge,  while  the  latter  will  present  a  series  of  15 
bold  arches  thrown  over  the  most  attractive  water- 
scape in  f  he  world.  The  greatest  feat  of  en^ueering 
will  be  the  bold  central  arch,  750-feet  span — over  an 
eighth  of  a  mile.  This  is  the  longest  span  ever  con- 
templated, and  its  construction  will  necessitate  the 
most  careful  labor  and  no  small  outlay  of  money.  In 
order  to  accomplish  this  single  portion  of  the  work 
alone  two  great  caissons  will  have  to  be  sunk  in  over 
100  feet  of  water;  and  this  can  only 'be  done  by 
coffer-dams  and  special  contrivances,  In  their  com- 
pleteness yet  imknown  to  engineering.  The  current 
at  the  point  where  these  piers  will  rest  is  very  strong, 
coming  in  through  the  Dardanelles  from  the  Sea  of 
Marmora,  and  rushing  to  the  Block  Sea.  The  two 
central  piers  constituting  the  backbone  of  the 
bridge  will  be  50  feet  thick,  of  solid 
granite  blocks  locked  together  with  iron  braces. 
A  side  view  of  the  bridge  will  present  below  the 
highest  points  of  the  arches  an  Intricate  svstem  of 
reinforce  braces.  It  is  in  this  part  of  the  construction 
that  great  ingenuity,  nice  mathematical  calculstiun, 
and  delicate  mechanical  skill  must  be  employed.  By 
an  invention  of  Capt.  Eads  a  new  feature  will  be  in- 
troduced, so  that  a  train  of  cars  or  any  other  heavy 
burden  will  not  superimpose  its  weight  at  any  one 
point  over  which  it  may  be  at  the  moment,  but  will 
be  distributed  throughout  the  6,000  feet  of  the  sup* 
ports,  thus  practically  making  it  an  easy  task  to 
build  an  arch  of  750  feet.  This  is  accomplished  by 
uniting  all  the  nmln  bracing  from  pier  head  to 
pier  head,  and  connecting  the  minor  r«ids,  so  that 
the  whole  forms  a  complete  system,  making  one  brace 
dependent  on  the  other.  The  action  of  heavy  weights, 
of  troops  marching  to  a  common  step,  of  rapid 
locomotion  by  the  cars  is  thus  instantly  communi- 
cated through  ever}'  foot  of  the  supports,  and  every 
part  Is  made  to  do  its  duty.  It  will  be  remarked  by 
the  traveler  who  has  carcfnllv  noted  the  vibratory 
motion  of  the  Suspension  Bridge,  two  miles  l>elow 
Niagara  Falls,  that  the  strain  on  the  guy  braces  is 
ver>'  uneqtial.  and  at  times,  when  the  structure  has 
been  put  to  severe  service,  these  braces  have  sud- 
denly become  taut,  threatening  to  relea.se  themselves 
from  their  fastenings.  No  such  difficulty  is  appre- 
hended in  the  projected  bridge  over  the  Bosphoms. 
Besides  the  main  span  of  750  feet,  there  will  be  two 
spans  of  500  feet  each,  adjoining  the  central  one. 
and  the  distance  between  the  arches  will  go  on  dimin- 
ishing as  the  bridge  apjirouches  either  shore,  tintil 
the  arches  reach  the  mmlmum  width  of  200  feet. 

The  Turkish  and  French  Governments,  prelimin- 
ary to  this  work  caused  a  very  careful  survey  of  the 
harbor  of  Constantinople  to  be  made,  as  the  bed  uf 
the  Bosphoms  was  imperfectly  known — known  only. 
In  fact,  by  the  British  Admiralty  charts.  It  wa* 
found  by  using  deep-sea  leads  and  the  patent  sounder, 
which  are  both  armed  with  grease,  that  there  was 
about  three  feet  of  allnviul  mud  overlj-ing  15  feet 
of  saftUdy  strata,  and  beneath  was  found  wlid  ro^-k- 
Cipt.  Kads' peculiar  experience  in  sinking  the  piers 
of  the  Mississippi  bridge  will  come  Into  play 
in  the  difficult  work  of  lajing  these  pii-V 
foundations.  The  river  at  '  .St.  I^juis  is 
HO  feet  deep.  Capt.  Eads  was  daily  in 
the  bottom,  living  a  regular  diving-bell  exi:«tence.  Ho 
fonnd  that  the  water  at  the  bti'ttom  i>f  the  stream 
moved  with  great  velocity,  carrying  with  it  lar;;e 
bodies  of  sand  and  earth  held  in  solution,  eventually 
to  reach  the  delta  chaimeL  silting  them  up  and  dos- 
ing the  gateways  to  commerce.  Tlie  currents  in  the 
Bosphoms  do  not  reach  any  such  velocity,  and 
while  the  greater  depth  will  render  the  couslmction 
of  coffer-dams  and  cjiis«tous  a  labor  of  longer  duration 
and  greater  expense,  there  will  iw  no  insurruounta- 
ble  diifirulty  in  the  way.  IVrhMjis  the  magnitude  of 
tiie  uiidortaking  may  be  bettvr  understood  when  it  Is 
stated  that  the  main  piers  will  be  '2.70  feet  high  from 
the  foundation  to  the  sutnmit.  The  aggregate  lieinht 
of  the  15  piers  would  make  a  singln  pier  of  half  a 
mile  in  height,  or  eight  times  tho  altitude  of  the  boll 
un  the  top  of  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  l^judou. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  cost  of  construction  will 
not  excetMi  $25.O00.OO<>.  and  th«?  time  to  complete  it 
six  years.  It  took  about  eight  years  to  build  the  St. 
Louis  briflge  :  but  in  the  ca.sc  of  tJie  projected  tme 
over  the  Bosphoms  the  couditiousare  very  different. 
Kxcellent  granite  can  be  found  in  desirable  quantities 
near  the  place  of  construction,  and  the  labor  will  he 
very  cheap.  Thero  exist  few  sucli  impcctxnJous  iwp- 
ulaliouK  as  those  which  inhabit  the  districts  .-(bout. 
Ct>njttantinople.  It  is  also  a  question,  in  cousideriag 
this  branch  of  tKe  subject,  wli&ther  "Chinese  cheap 
labor"  cannot  be  as  profitably  employed  as  it  was  in 
the  construction  of  tiie  I'nion  Pacific  Railway.  In 
the  estimate  of  $25.000,(K>0  as  the  cost  of  <onstrui:- 
tion  an  outside  figure  has  been  given,  for  it  is  thought, 
with  vigorous  economy,  and  the  preparation  of  the 
iron  work  in  France  and  Belgium,  that  the  bridge 
may  not  ultimately  eest  over  $  1  s.oo*  >.  iK)0. 
It  is  believed  that  the  great  rise  in  proi>erty 
that  would  take  place  on  the  Asiatic  shore 
would  more  than  pay  for  the  ctmstmctiou.  There  is 
a  very  lar-.:e  class  of  wealthy  and  well-to-do  people 
who  reside  along  the  bank*  of  tlie  Bosphoms,  and 
particularly  on  the  Kuropcan  shore.  Every  few  mo- 
ments steamers  come  and  go  from  the  pier-heads  at 
the  junction  of  the  Golden  Horn,  co-irj-iug  passen- 
iiers  away  to  suburban  homes  like  Astoria  and 
Nyack.  for  few  people  care  to  live  either  in  Stambuul 
or  Pera.  Pera,  where  the  bulk  of  foreign  residents 
live,  in  the  city,  is  built  on  a  hillside,  with  narrow, 
filthy,  and  circuitous  streets,  and  the  storj'  of  its  oft- 
recurring  fires,  epidemics,  and  miserable  street  curs 
has  frequently  been  written.  No  greater  boon  could, 
therefore,  be  conferred  upon  the  i»eople  of  Constan- 
tine's  city  than  the  construction  of  the  bridge  so 
ably  planned  by  Capt.  Eads  aiid  Mr.  Lambert. 

The  traveler  who  has  visited  Constantinople  will 
remember  the  long  pontoon  bridge  which  connects 
Stamhoul  with  Pera  and  crosses  the  Golden  Horn. 
During  the  residence  of  the  writer  in  Constantinople 
it  occurred  to  Abdul  Aziz  that  he  would  like  a  more 
sightly  structure,  like  unto  those  he  had  seen  in  his 
foreign  travels.  So  he  g  ve  orders  for  an  iron  bridge, 
which  in  dtie  coui*se  of  time  was  constructed,  and  a 
very  handsome  structure  it  proved  to  be.  But  the 
young  Prince,  his  son,  whom  he  vainly  endeavored 
to  make  his  heir,  and  whose  every  capnce  was  a  law 
of  the  Empire,  found  that  his  plea-iure  y.acht  could 
not  sail  under  the  bridge.  He  therefore  made 
known  to  the  Sultan  liis  desire  for  its  demolition, 
and  it  was  forthwitli  done,  to  the  disgust  of  the  peo- 
ple and  Turkish  creditors  generally.  It  was  alwut  this 
time  that  a  magnificent  marble  palace,  now  stauding 
on  the  very  e<lge  of  the  Bosphoms,  was  completed 
and  furnished  at  an  aggregate  cost  of  £5,000,000. 
When  the  Sultan  entered  it  for  the  first  time  he  bo. 
held  his  image  reflected  by  the  mirrors  presenting 
ids  person  upside  down.  He  regarded  this  as  an  evU 
omen,  and  ca.used  the  palace  to  be  closed,  never 
^gain  entering  it  during  his  reign.  The  cost  of 
i^  palace  would  have  bridged  the  Bosphorus. 
The  interests  of  Turkish  bondholders  and  East 
India  merchants  have  long  been  nrged  in  England  as 
reasons  why  Parliament  should  subsidize  the  pro- 
jected ".Euphrates  Valley  Railroad,"  wiiieh,  leaving 
Constantinople,  is  to  traverse  the  rich  region  of  Ana- 
tolia, pursue  its  course  to  Aleppo,  thence  to  the 
Euphrates  and  the  Tigris  Rivers,  skirting  the  Persian 
Gulf,  with  a  branch  to  Teheran  ;  thence  through 
Southern  Persia  and  Beloochiston ;  through  the 
Khyber  pass  of  the  Hindoo-Koosh  Mountahis.  to  the 
Indus  and  Bombay,  which  is  now  connected  with 
Calcutta  by  rail.  The  English  are  particularly  anxious 
to  build  this  line,  in  order  to  forestall  the  Russians, 
who  are  now  making  surveys  for  a  r^way  from 
Orenburg  on  the  Volga,  across  Torklstan,  and  torough 
the  Khvber  to  Pesnawer  in  Northern  India,  dram- 
ing  such  rich  districts  as  those  of  Khiva,  Bokhara, 
Sunarcand,  and  Cashmere.  This  Is  the  plan  of  M. 
De  Lesseps,  and  there  remains  little  doubt  of  the 
imperial  authorities  undertaking  it,  after  tfaey  shall 
have  the  present  war  off  their  hands.  However,  the 
construction  of  Capt.  Ead's  bridge  cannot  fail  to 
give  a  great  impulse  to  the  agitation  of  the  Euphrates 
Valley  project — which  for  many  reasons  is  to  to  pre- 
ferred as  a  route  to  India. 

On  arri%ing  in  the  harbor  of  Constantinople  the 
"correct"  traveler  always  rises  at  daybreak  to  ob- 
tain a  favored  view  of  the  magnificent  prospect.  But 
with  a  bridge  across  the  Bosphorus  this  will  no  lonicer 
be  necessarj-.  To  the  northward  will  lie  the  marble 
palaces  of  the  Stiltans,  the  imposing  itmcture  of  the 
Russian  Embassy,  the  Sweet  Waters  of  Etirope,  the 
Golden  Horn,  the  Sublime  Porte,' the  Seraglio,  and 
the  lofty  dome  of  St.  Sophia  ;  and  stretching  to  east- 
ward and  westward,  the  charming  suburban  resorts 
which  dot  the  European  shore  for  miles.  The  water- 
scape, covered  with  ships  of  all  nations,  with  caiques 
pulled  by  strong-armed  men  darting  in  all  directions, 
and  darkened  by  the  presence  of  the  iron-clad  fleet, 
h)  unsurpassed  In  the  world,  stretching  as  it  doe* 
from  the  Sea  ot  Marmora  to  the  an^io:;!  iuuxine.  P*r*

Patrick  Fleming,    of  the    Twenty-third  Dis- 
trict, writes  to  disclaim  any   connection  with  the 
"  lodependentt."   He  is  a  member  of  the  regular 
organlzatioD  of  the  district. 

Hr.  Htigh  Coleman,  who  was  mentioned  as  one  of 
the  leaders  of  the  so-called  "  Independent  "move- 
ment, writes :  *'  I  have  not  been  a  Republican  for 
more  than  two  years,  and  did  not  vote  for  Hayes, 
therefore,  I  cannot  be  identified  with  any  movement 
of  the  Republican  Party,  but  am  entirely  opposed  to 

Mr.  C.  Pullman  states  that  he  yesterday  received 
the  reelgnation  Mr.  George  Mulligan  as  a  member  of 
the  "  Independent  "  or^iization  of  the  Eighteenth 
As.sembly  District. 

Mr.  Pullman  takes  the  responsibility  of  saying  that 
Mr.  Erastus  Mead  "  never  held  office  nor  was  a  can- 
didate for  office, "  that  Dr.  Hanks  could  not  be  in- 
duced to  be  a  candidate  for  Assembly  or  any  other 
otBca  outside  his  profession,"  and  that  the  gentlemen 
named  for  Inspectors  never  held  office  and  were 
never  candidates  for  of^e. 

Mr.  David  Terry,  one  of  the  '"  Independent "  dele- 
gates in  the  First  Assembly  District,  writes  to  deny 
that  he  T?as  discharged  from  the  Post  Office  "for 
good_  and  sufficient  reasons."  He  says  they  had 
nothing  to  do  with  it,  but  "It  was  in  consequence  of 
a  petty  dispute  arising  between  myself  and  the 
janitor."  

BEA7Y  BAISFALL  IX  TREXTOy. 
The  heaviest  rainfall  in  years  occurred  at 
Trenton,  N.  J.,  yesterday.  The  streets  were  flooded, 
and  much  damage  was  done  by  the  water  filling  the 
cellars  of  buildings,  stores,  &c.  Gutters  were 
washed  ont  on  Lamberton,  Livingstone,  and  Cass 
streets,  and  these  streets  were  impassable.  Model 
and  Clinton  avenues  were  badly  damaged.  Tha  em- 
bankment near  the  tunnel  of  the  Delaware  and 
Raritan  Canal  was  washed  down  on  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  track  a  few  min- 
utes before  the  Pacific  express  train  was 
due,  and  had  not  Mr.  Walsli,  foreman  of  Cooper  & 
Hewrjtt's  wire  factory,  run  down  the  track  and 
stopped  the  train  there  would  have  l»een  a  bad  acci- 
dent. A  washout  was  made  on  the  Bordentown 
Branch  Road,  and  trains  had  to  be  run  on  the  freight 
track  The  Long  Branch  express  was  detained  by  a 
wash  on  the  main  line  near  Olinton-street  depot,  and 
the  water  in  the  tntmel  under  the  canal  almost  extin- 
guished the  fires  of  the  locomotive.  The  trains  were 
all  behind.  The  damage  will  be  heavy,  but  cannot 
yet  be  estimated.

-  OfScer  Wall,  of  the  Twentieth  Precinct,  came 
Along  about  the  time  the  shooting  began,  and  at- 
iempted  to  enter  the  uloon  as  the  &st  of  the  crowd 
was  rushing  out,  but  for  a  time  did  not  succeed. 
Abont  the  nrst  thing  the  offlcer.  heard  when  be  did 
itet  In  was  the  question,  "Why  in  thunder  didn't  you 
ro  and  atSend  to  the  man  that  waa  shot  P'  Woll'im- 
rediately  went  In  aearch  of  the  "man,  and  fouinl 
t'homas  Llovd  lying  insensible  on  the  sidewalk  on 
ihe  comer  of  Twenty -eighth- street  and  Tenth-ave- 
nue, with  a  pistol^ot  in  the  left  side  of 
jhe  abdomen,  and  his  whole  person  covered 
with  blood.  Wall  rapped  for  assistanre,  and  other 
officers  came  to  his  aid.  Ther  arrested  John  McCor- 
aiick.  James  MdLanghlln,  frank  McLanghlln.  Pat- 
rick Fitzpatrick.  John  HoGuinness,  and  Patrick  Per- 
riR,  alias  Ferry,  alias  Mullen,  who  were  still  In  the 
^oon,  and  locked  them  up  in  the  station-house.  It 
ff-as  ascertained  that  a  great  many  shots  had  been 
Bred,  but  McCormick  was  the  only  man 
ununst  whom  evidence  to  that  effect  could 
oe  had.  He  admitted  the  charge  to  a 
tertain  extent,  but  claimed  that  he  fired  into 
the  ground,  and  only  did  so  to  intimidate  the  crowd. 
Lloyd,  the  mjnred  party,  testifies  that  McCormick'a 
belligerent  conduct  all  took  place  after  he  was  hurt 
and  lying  on  the  fioor.  As  soon  as  Lloyd  was  shot, 
pne  of  the  McLaughlins  picked  him  up  and  carried 
Dim  out  in  his  arms  away  iioin.  the  scene  of  the  fight 
x>ward  home,  but  when  they  reached  Twenty-eighth- 
Itreet  Lloyd  beoame  uueonsciouB,  and  McLau^ilin, 
In  bis  fright,  left  him.  Lloyd  was  removed  by  (^Boer 
Wall  to  the  Twentieth  Pieclnof  Scation-hoose.  and 
thence  to  Bellevue  Hospital. 

After  Lloyd  waa  admitted  to  the  hospital  he  was 
ccamined  by  the  honse  surgeon,  who  xound  him:  to 
Dft  suffering  from  a  plstol-abot  wotmd  in  the  left  side 
of  the  abdomon,  ana  from  the  direction  wiiich  the 
bullet  had  taken  it  was  feared  that  it  had  entered 
Ibe  peritoneum.  As  the  condition  of  the  patient  was 
•onaadered  extremely  critical.  Coroner  Flanagan  waa 
mmmoned  to  take  hts  ante-mortem  deposition. ,  Ac- 
companied by  his  deputy.  Dr.  Miller,  the  Coroner 
repaired  to  the  hospital  at6A.  M.,  but  found  that 
Lloyd  had  not  sufficiently  recovered  from  the  shock 
df  the  injury  to  be  able  to  make  an  Intelligent  state- 
ment. Later  in  the  day  the  Coroner  again  called  at 
the  hospital  and  took  Lloyd's  statement.  The  de- 
ponent said  that  at  the  close  of  the  primary  election 
ne  went  with  McCormick  and  a  number  of  friends 
to  McCormick'a  saloon,  and  remained  drinking  there 
for  some  time.  While  there  a  party  of  roughs  from 
tha  Fonrth  Ward,  who  bad  come  ap  to  "  work  "  the 
primary,  entered  the  plaee.  A  quarrel  sprang  np,  and 
a  general  fracas  enaoad,  dnring  which  a  piiitol-shot 
was  fired,  and  he  was  woonded  and  fell  to  the 
flixnr.  While  he  was  on  the  floor  several 
more  shots  were  fired.  He  saw  MtrCormick 
with  a  pistol  in  his  hand,  flonrishing  the 
weapon  about.  McCozmick  said,  "  If  you  don't  stop 
this  disturbance  I'll  shoot  some  of  you."  This  was 
after  he  [Llovd]  was  shot.  McLaughlin  picked  him 
np  from  the  d-^or  and  walked  out  of  the  saloon  into 
the  street  with  him.  He  fell  insensible  on  the  side- 
walk when  they  reached  Twenty-eighth- street,  and 
when  be  regained  consciousness  he  found  hbnself 
in  the  hospital.  Lloyd.several  times  reiterated  the 
statement  chat  he  did  not  know  who  shot  him. 

The  pt^soners  were  taken  before  .Tostire  Wandell, 
in  Jefferson  Market  Police  Court,  yesterday  morning, 
and  were  fined  $10  each  and  discharged,  except 
McCormick,  who  was  held  to  anvait  the  result  of 
Lloyd's  injuries.  Lloyd  cannot  possibly  recover,  it 
is  said  by  the  phyaiciana,  who  give  him  but  a  short 
time  to  live,  and  they  say  they  would  not  be  sur- 
prised to  see  him  die  at  any  moment.  McCormick's 
saloon  has  never  home  a  good  reputation,  and  some 
of  the  persons  concerned  in  the  row  have  served 
more  than  one  term  in  the  jaila  of  this  City  for 
different  offenses. 

TEE  IXDEPEXDEXT  DEMOCRACY, 


AJT  ADDRESS  TO  THE  CTTEEKS  OP  NEW- 
TORK  ADOPTED  LAST  EVEXtSQ  BY  THE 
EXECCTTVE  COMMITTEE. 
A  meeting  of  the  EiecntiTo^  Committee  of  the 
(ndeiwndent  Democracy  waa  held  in  the  Union- 
Square  Hotel  last  evening,  Mr.  Louis  M.  Doscher  in 
the  chair.  The  Chairman,  and  Charles  H.  Swan  and 
John  W.  Tan  Hoesen,  Secretaries,  formerly  the  tem- 
porary officers,  were,  on  motion  of  Mr,  William  H.  Se-  • 
cor,  made  permanent  officers.  The  Chairman  ap-' 
pointed  as  a  Committee  on  By-laws,  Messrs.  Dean. 
Theiss,  and  Cashman.  After  addresses  by  Messrs. 
Secor  and  Rnfus  F.  Andrews,  Mr-  Andrews  presented 
an  address  to  the  citizens  of  Xew-Vork,  which,  after 
a  short  discussion  Vas,^nnanimous]y  adopted.  .  The 
address  begins  by  saying  that  the  Tammany  Hall  or-  . 
ganization  has  controXpf  thl  Executive,  Finance.  - 
Fire.  Dock.  Charities  an*- Correction,  and  Health 
Departments,  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  and  the  Street- 
cleaning,  and  other  Departments,  aod  that  their  ad- 
min isrration  becomes  a  proper  subject  of  criticism. 
"  That  Tammany  Hall,''  the  address  continues,  "'  un- 
der the  leadership  of  John  Kelly,  is  now  re- 
sponsible for  whatever  mismanagement  is  apparent 
In  our  City  administration :  that  the  discharge  of 
efficient  and  practioal  officials  likw  Devoe  and  Cor- 
nell, to  make  room  for  ward'  politicians  like  Keenan 
and  Varian.  indicates  a  total  msregard  of  the  inter- 
ests of  the  City  and  sacrifices  those  interests  for  the 
mere  purpose  of  rewarding  political  strikers.  The 
cleaning  of  streets  is  much  ne^^ected.  and  is  a 
matter  of  such  public  notoriety  that  it  is 
nnnecesaa^  to  do  more  than  -  allude  to  it. 
The  Dock  Department,  althoagh  some  of  its  nefarious 
practices  were  exposed  by  a  recently-appointed  Com- 
missioner, continues  to  indulge  m  la^'ish  expendi- 
ture for  supplies  and  salaries,  and  meanwhile  good 
-wiiarfage  cannot  be  bad  in  a  commercial  City  where 
the  accommodation  of  the  shipping  and  freight  inter- 
ests is  of  the  first  Importance,  The  "'Cmiuibus" 
jmd  Financial  bills  passed  by  the  last  Le- 
gislature and  sent  to  the  Crovemor  for 
approval  wonld  have  consolidated  departments 
and  bureaus  where  like  business  is  conducted,  re- 
dured  the  nnmber  of  officials,  instired  greater  sim- 
plicity in  City  business,  and  reduced  the  City  expenses 
over  $2,000,000  a  year,  but  was  opposed  by  John 
Kelly,  and  fa»  him  wm  vetoed  by  Gov.  Robinson,  and 
under  such  circumatances  and  surroundings  as  indi- 
cates the  Governor's  entire  subserviency  to  Tammany 
H«H.  if  nothing  mor<*.  The  patronage  and  favor  of 
the  Judges  ecnnected  with  Tammany  Hall  Is 
exercised  principally  in  favor  of  those  who 
are  already  in  recolpt  of  salaries  as  Clt^  employes 
and  to  the  detriment  of  public  business  if  they  have 
enough  to  ooeapy  their  tbne.  Whatever  may  be  said 
as  to  the  Excise  quectlon,  even  by  the  most  strenuous 
tempeTmnca  adroeate,  no  one  can  but  adnxlt  that  the 
action  of  th«*  PoUee  and  Excise  Boards  in  their  re* 
cent  tTv«tmei:s  oi  man  who  bad  paid  their  money 
into  the  Ttwaaary  waa  unneeesaarOy  harsh  and  un-

the  enormous  axpense  and  taxation^  the  Increase  of 
the  bonded  debt  wfal^  now  burdens  our  City— Tam- 
many Hall  la  responaibla:  that  the  change  in  that

only  by  the  thoroofh  del aat  of  whatever  ticket  mar

"WITH    A    "WIDOW — THX      TWO      DECEIVED 

wiviEs  araET. 
George  W.  Kirk,  an  actor  and  stage  manager 
of  some  local  renown  in  Brooklyn,  has  achieved  a 
reputation,  recently,  as  the  husband  of  tw^^jrives 
and  the  base  deserter  of  both.  Kirk  is  28  years  old, 
and  was  bom  in  Brooklyn.  His  father  is  a  mmlster. 
and  Is  also  engaged  in  the  printing  btuineas  at  the 
eomer  of  Fulton  and  Nassau  streets,  in  Kew-Tork 
Cityi  George  served  his  time  as.  an  anprentlce  at  the 
printing  bnainess  with  his  father,  for  whom  he  con- 
tinued to  work  until  within]  the  past  six  years. 
Early  in  life  he  developed  a  taste  for  the  stage,  and 
finally,  despite  the  opoositlon  of  his  father,  became 
an  actor.  On  April  13,  1870,  be  married  iGss 
Carrie  L.  Isaacs,  whose  father,  then  a  prominent 
buUder,  resided  at  Claason  and  Ijexlngton  avenuea, 
Brooklyn.  l>uring  the  first  three  years  of  their 
married  life  he  deserted  his  wife  three  times  for 
short  periods,  and  returned  again,  each  time  express- 
ing regret  for  his  conduct  and  promising,  to 
reform-  Finally,  on  July  13.  1873,  he  left  home 
for  good,  after  having  pawned  his  wife's  watch 
and  chain,  silver  spoons,  and  wearing 
apparel,  and  -  selling  all  their  household 
goods,  having  first  gained  possession  of  them 
by  inducing  his  wife  to  consent  to  the  goods  being 
Btored,  under  the  pretense  of  breaking  up  house- 
keeping to  go  boarding.  He  also  left  her  with  their 
child,  then  nearly  2  years  old,  ^  provide  for.  The 
deserted' wife,  however,  with  true  womanly  courage, 

rued  a  school  in  Ski llman -street,  Brooklyn,  where 
succeeded  in  providing  for  the  wants  of  herself 
and  her  little  one. 

Nothing  was  known  or  heard  of  the  whereabouts 
or  movements  of  her  husband  tmtil  he  had  been  ab- 
sent about  11  months.  Then  it  was  ascertained  that 
he  had  become  a  nrofesslonal  actor,  and  was 
stopping  at  Bement,  111.,  under  the  name 
of  Oeorgle  W.  Beebe.  It  was  also  learned 
that  be  had  married  Miss  Kate  A.  Alen. 
the  sister  of  .Tohn  A.  Allen,  manager  of  the  Adelphl 
Theatre  In  Chicago,  his  second  naarriage  having  been 
consummated  on  the  11th  of  Juno,  1874.  Miss 
Allen,  who  was  then  20  years  oW,  was  traveling 
with  "Ed."  \V'hite"a  Comedy  Companv,  of  which  her 
sister-in-la^  was  a  member,  and  waa  playing  juvenile 
pans.  Kirk  led  her  to  believe  that  he  was  a  widower. 
Shortly  after  his  marriage  he  acquired  ^n  interest  in 
a  traveling  company,  with  which  he  traveled  with 
his  wife  for  n  short  time,  but  finally  deserted  her  at 
Havana,  Ma^on  County.  HI.,  under  the  plea  that  h^ 
was  going  to  some  other  place  to  get  some  printing 
done.  The  second  deserted  wife  waited  lome  time 
for  her  husband's  return,  and  finally  becoming  tired 
of  waiting,  borrowed  a  small  sum  of  money  mtm  a 
friend  and  sought  refuge  in  her  mother's  home  in 
Chicago. 

After  deserting  his  second  wife  Beebe  resumed  his 
real  name  once  more,  and  in  November  last  ap- 
peared at  the  Theatre  C-omlque,  In  the  Eastern  Dis- 
trict of  Brooklyn,  as  the  successor  of  the  former 
stage  manager.  He  endeavored  to  induce  his  first 
wife  to  a^ain  share  a  home  with  him,  and  she  finally 
promised  to  live  with  him  once  more  if  he  could  pro- 
vido  suitable  accommodations  for  herself  and 
their  child.  He  failed  to  do  so,  however,  and 
the  desired  retmion  was  not  effected.  Meantime, 
throogh  a  letter  addressed  to  the  New- York  Clipper, 
his  second  wife  discovered  his  whereabouts,  opened  a 
correspondence  with  him.  and  flnallv  accepted  on  in- 
vitation to  join  him,  and  commenced  an  engagement 
at  ^e  Oomique  in  April  last.  On  Jan.  27  last,  his 
first  wife,  having  ascertained  that  he  had  married  an- 
other woman  dnring  his  absence  from  her.  caused 
him  to  be  arrested,  and  he  was  placed  under  bonds 
by  Justice  Rilev  to  pay  $4  per  week  for  the  support 
ot  his  child.  His  father  became  his  bondsman,  and 
has  ever  since  paid  the  weekly  installments. 

About  two  weeks  ago  he  made  an  engagement  for 
himself,  wife,  and  child  to  go  to  the  West  Indies 
with  Miss  Effie  St.  John's  company,  for  36  weeks,  at 
958  per  week.  He  draw  $20  in  advance  from  the 
agents  for  the  purpose,  as  he  aaid,  of  getting  hi« 
wife  and  trunks  on  ooard  the  vesseL  He  then  left 
home,  and  hla  second  wife  [Mrs.  Beebe]  has  not  seelf 
him  since.  It  was  finally  learned  that  the  vessel 
sailed  last  Friday  with  Kirk  on  board, 
and  that  a  widow,  who  formerly  resided 
in  the  Eastern  District  of  Brooklyn,  had 
aeeompanied  him.  This  woman  had  three  children, 
two  of  whom  she  abandoned,  taking  the  third  one 
with  her.  probably  to  fill  the  contract  for  the  engage- 
ment of  ■■  Kirk,  wife,  and  child.'  Kirk's  second 
wife,  it  is  said,  is  not  only  in  destitute  circiunstances, 
but  is  also  about  to  become  a  mother.  The  two 
injured  women  met  for  the  first  time  yesterday 
afternoon,  and  are  said  to  have  In  contemplation 
the  futnre  prosecution  of  the  scoundrel  who  haa 
betrayed  them,  should  he  ever  return  from  hia 
present  engagement  in  the  West  Indies. 

The  Kings  County  Commissioners  of  Charitleshave 
been  applied  to  for  the  means  to  procure  a  ticket  to 
convey  Mrs.  Beebe  to  Cincinnati,  where,  it  is  said,  her 
mother  resides,  with  whom  she  can  find  a  home. 
It  is  also  said  that  if  the   Commlsaionem  refuse  to 

f rant  the  relief  asked  for.  the  money  will  be  furnished 
y  a  few  philanthropic  persons  who  have  become  in- 
terested m  the  case. 


THE  ST.  LOUIS  FORGED  BONDS, 


A?PIDAVITS  IN  THE  CASE  BY  THE  DETEC- 
TIVES Ain)  OTHERS — THE  PBISOyEBS  KE- 
MAia>ED  UNTIL  TO-DAY. 

The  case  of  the  alleged  bond  forgers,  William 
Carrerar,  John  H.  Huested,  and  John  J.  Cannon, 
came  up  for  examination  yesterday  at  the  Tombs 
Police  Court,  before  Justice  Duffy,  and  for  want  of 
sufficient  evidence  was  ^ain  postponed  until  to-day 
at  11  o'clock.  The  St.  Louis  County  officials  arc  ex- 
pected to  arrive  this  morning,  and  they  will  probably 
throw  some  light  on  the  matter.  Th^  will  bring 
with  them  some  genuine  canceled  bonds,  and  these 
will  be  compared  with  those  that  were  sotigfat  to  be 
negotiated.  If  any  discrepancy  is  discovered  the 
officials  will,  of  course,  make  the  necessary  affidavits 
as  to  the  forgery  ofthe  bonds  uttered  by  the  priso jilers. 
William  J.  Tuctor,  the  St.  Lotiis  detective,  now  stay- 
ing at  the  Stevens  Hotel,  made  an  affidavit  yesterday, 
in  which  he  states  that  on  the  22d  of  August  he  was 
informed  by  Hiram  Johnson,  broker,  of  No.  52 
Broadway,  that  John  H.  Huested  gave  him  on  the 
previous  (lay  the  following  bonds,  called  St.  Lonls 
County  i.onds,  and  numbered  1,330.  1,331,  1,332, 
1,333.  1,334,  1.350,  1,3-51.  1.352.  1.353.  1,354. 
and  asked  him  [Johnson]  to  sell  them  for  him.  He 
further  states  that  Johnson  informed  him  that  he 
sold  the  bonds  tor  Huested,  but  before  the  latter 
called  for  the  money  he  [Tucker]  informed  Johnson 
that  the  bonds  were  forgeries,  and  he  requests  that 
Huested  may  be  held  until  such  time  as  the  officials 
may  arrive  nt>m  St.  L<iuis  to  make  the  proper  affi- 
davits. He  also  says  that  the  aforesaid  bonds  num- 
bered from,  1,350  to  1,354,  inclusive,  have  never 
been  issued  by  the  County  of  St.  Louis. 

Hiram  Johnson  also  made  an  affidavit  to  the  effect 
that  on  the  'ilst  of  August,  John  H.  Huested  called 
at  his  office,  No.  52  Broadway,  and  asked  him  to  sell 
ftlO  000  St.  Louis  County  bonds,  ntimbered  1,330, 
1,331.  1,332,  1.333,  1.334,  1,350.  1,351,  1.352. 
1,353,1.354.  Deponent  negotiated  the  s»le  of  the 
bonds,  but  before  he  made  payment  to  Huested  he 
wRsinformedby  Detective  William  J.  Tucker  that 
the  bonds  were  forgeries.  Afterward  Huested  was 
arrested  In  his  office.  Detective  Tucker  made  still 
another  affidavit,  and  in  it  he  states  that  on  the  22d 
of  August  be  waa  informed  by  John  T.  Hanna,  of  the 
flrm^  Hanna  Brothers.  No.  11  Wall-street,  that  one 
William  Carrerar,  with  another  man  named 
Hurd,  canw  to  his  office  on  that  day.  Carre- 
rar said  that  he  wanted  to  negotiate  a 
loan  on  $10,000  St.  Louis  County  6s,  and  asked  him, 
[Hanna,]  what  he  could  negotiate  on  them. 
Tucker  further  states  that  Hanua  informed  him 
that  he  [Hanna]  told  Carrerar  that  he  coald  nego- 
tiate from  85  to  90  cents  on  the  dollar  for  60  or 
90  days.  Hanna  agreed  to  negotiate  the  loan,  and 
Carrerar  informed  him  that  he  would  bring  the 
bonds  on  Thursday.  Aug.  23,  at  12  o'clock.  Tucker 
says  he  la  informed  by  Hanna  that  Carrerar  uttered 
the  bond  No.  1,345,  Bt.  Louis  County,  to  be  nego- 
tiated, which  was  afterward  found  in  the  letter's 
possosalon  by  Detective  Bobort  A.  Pinkerton,  and 
he  [Tuckorfbelieves  the  said  bond  to  be  a  forgery. 

John  T.  Hanna,  who  resides  at  No.  76  Ureene- 
street,  Brooklyn,  E.  D..  and  whose  place  of  business 
is  No.  11  Wali-streeL  made  affidavit  corroborating 
all  that  waa  contained  in  that  made  by  Detective 
Tueker  concerning  Carrerar.  Detective  Robert  A, 
Ftnkerton  also  made  an  affidavit  to  the  efl'ect 
that  he  arrested  William  Carrerar,  and  on  searchlztf 
him  found  one  $1,000  St.  Louis  County  bon^ 
No.  1,345.  the  one  spoken  of  in  Tucker's  affidavit. 
Oanezar  admitted  tloit  the  bond  was  his,  and  that  he 
had  received  it  from  John  J.  Cannon,  of  No.  221 
West  Sixteenth -street.  Cannon  has  since  been  ar- 
rested and  Carrerar  haa  recognized  him  in  bis  (de-

Mr.  Oliver,  counsel  for  Huested  and  (Smrerar,  was 
of  opinion  that  there  was  not  sufficient  evidence  to 
hold  the  prisoners,  but  the  court,  after  constiltlng 
wi^  Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring,  tlwught 
otherwlae,  and  they  were  accordingly  zemaaded  until 
this  momlngto  aindt  the  arrival  of  the  officials  from 
St.  X^nls.  The  annvoneement  that  the  examination 
was  to  take  plaee  yesterday  attracted  ft  considerable 
crowd  of  etmosity  seekers  to  the  Tombs.  The  exam- 
ination room  was  so  crowded,  and  tiu  aJr  so  stilting, 
that  the  eourt  gave  orders  to  have  all  tluwe  executing 
reporters  and  those  connected  with  the  case  ezvelletl 
from  the  room,  which  was  done,  and  then  those 
that  were  inside  breathed  allttle  more  freely.

TESTING  THE  Cm'S  GAS.

YJJVLIO  WOEKS— HOW  THE  OITT'S  GAfl 
IB  TESTED  KVX&r  DAY— THK  PHOTO- 
XXTKR. 
Few  pcnona  In  this  CitfJEBOW  thftt  thero  now 
la,  in  the  Odd-fellowa'  Building,  at  the  comer  of 
Grand  and  Centre  streets,  a  photometrioal  room,  be- 
longing to  the  Department  of  Public  Works ;  and 
still  fewer,  it  li  likely,  have  any  very  dear  Idea  of 
theusee  of  soeh  a  room,  and  its  yalae  to  the  City. 
Frepaxatioas  for  iht  establishment  of  the  photomet- 
rieal  room  were  beg^n  last  April,  and  the  manufae- 
tqre  waa  oommenced  of  instruments  and  appliances 
of  aU  sorts  to  test  the  purity,  pressure,  spedfle  grav- 
ity, and  Ultuninatlng  power  of  the  gas  furnished  to 
the  City,  under  contract,  by  the  several  companies. 
Kearly  all  Its  machinery — and  its  appointments  are 
equaled  by  aothing  else  of  the  kind  in 
the  oonntry,  except  tiiose  used  by  the 
United  States  Government  la  Washington— was 
made  and  put  Into  position  by  Goodwin,  of  Philadel- 
phia, and  the  expenditures  amounted  to  scarcely 
$1,600.  During  the  term  of  offlce  of  Gen.  Porter  as 
Commissioner  of  Public  Works,  the  establishment  of 
such  a  room,  under  the  department,  was  broached, 
but  no  active  steps  were  then  taken  to  free  the  City 
from  the  power  of  the  gas  companies  and  release 
the  eompaniee  from  a  responsibility  which  they  de- 
clare, without  exception,  that  they  do  not  desire. 
Under  the  administration  of  Couunlssfoner  Campbell, 
however,  the  room  was  flnlshed  and  opened  In  July, 
an  Examiner  of  Oas  having  already  b|»u  appointed 
in  the  person  of  Edward  G.  Love,  Ph.  B.,  of  the  Col- 
umbia College  School  of  Mines.  The  situation 
of  the  preaent  Photometries!  Room— there  Is 
to  be  another  one  In  the  course  of 
time  on  Seventy-ninth-street— was  sagaciously 
chosen;  for  the  mains  of  the  Kew-York  Gas-li^ht 
Company,  which  supplies  the  lower  part  of  the  City, 
run  up  to  Grand-street',  and  those  of  the  Manhattan 
Company  extend  from  Grand  to  Thirty -fourth- 
street.  The  gas  of  these  two  companies  is  tested  by 
Mr.  Love,  together  with  that  of  the  Kew-York 
Mutual  Gas-light  Company,  which  obtained  Its  char- 
ter during  the  reign  of  Tweed,  and  was  granted  the 
right  to  extend  Its  pipes  all  over  the  City;  and  every- 
thing is  in  readiness  there  for  the  gas  of  the  new 
Municipal  Company,  which  has  obtained  a  charter 
similar  to  that  of  the  Mutual,  when  it  begins  ooera- 
ttons.  Above  Seventy-ninth-street  the  Metropolitan 
and  Harlem  Gaa-lif^t  Companies  supply  the  City  at 
present ;  and  the  material  which  they  fur- 
nish will  be  tested  in  the  Seventy- 
ninth-street  room,  when  It  Is  opened. 
The  principal  instnuoent  In  the  Photometrical  Room 
is,  not  unnaturally,  the  photometer.  This  photo- 
meter is  considered  superior,  in  some  respects,  to 
any  other.  It  consists  of  a  60-inch  graduated  bar. 
connecting  with  two  sperm  candles  on  one  side,  and 
with  the  gas-measuring  and  burning  appliances  on 
the  other,  comprising  an  ordinary  wet  meter, 
a  pressure  ^uge  and  a  governor.  Upon 
the  bar  is  a  sliding  box.  containing  what 
is  called  a  Letheby  disk,  which  is  placed  vertlcallv  to 
catch  the  light  from  both  sides.  All  light  is  then 
excluded  from  the  room,  the  ceiling,  wallf  and  floors 
of  which  are  all  painted  a  dtill  black  ;  and  experi- 
menting with  the' disk  the  examiner  readily  learns, 
by  the  position  of  the  box  upon  the  graduated  bar 
when  the  light  falls  with  ecpial  strength  on  both 
sides  of  the  disk,  whether  the  illuminating 
power  of  the  gas  reaches  the  required  standard, 
that  of  16  candles.  The  pure  sperm  caudle, 
burning  120  grains  an  hotir.  is  used,  and  the  gas 
must  be  nsed  at  the  rate  of  five  cubic  feet  an  hour. 
The  meter,  of  coarse,  shows  the  rale  at  which  the  gas 
in  burning ;  bat,  as  bettors  frequently  desire  to  know 
In  regard  to  the  man  that  holds  the  stakes  who  holds 
the  man,  so  it  is  necessary  that  the  acctirscy  of  the 
meter  shoald  be  tested.  For  this  pnrpoie  a  remark- 
able, and  to  the  unscientific  person,  an  almost 
indescribable  appliance  has  been  invented,  con- 
sisting of  a  huge  copper  cylinder  to  hold  water, 
and  a  nickel-plated  globe  with  a  capacity  of  precisely 
one  cubic  foot — that  Is  to  say,  it  contains  exactly 
62  321-1.000  pounds  of  distilled  water,  at  a  temper- 
ature of  62  degrees.  There  is  only  one  other  instru- 
ment like  this  xn  existence— In  London.  This  one  was 
made  in  this  country,  and  it  Is  considered  little  less 
than  marvelous  ths't  a  first  attempt  should  be  so 
satisfactory  in  its  reault.  Certainly,  it  speaks  well  for 
the  progress  of  practical  science  in  this  country. 
The  photometer  has  an  electrical  attachment  by 
which  all  tu  operations  may  be  instantly  sto.>ped 
and  the  lights  extinguished,  the  examiner  mfrrely 
touching  a  button.  The  illiuninaiine  power  of  the 
gas  fnmlahed  to  the^ty,  Mr.  Love  has  ascertained, 
gencnrally  exceeds  the  required  standard.  For  in- 
stance, Ute  averaee  power  of  the  gaa  of  the  three 
companies  which  are  now  represented  in  the  photo- 
metrical  room  for  the  week  ending  Aug.  18,  was  as 

follows  : 

New-York  Oas-llght  Compsny.  16.59  candles. 

Manhattan  <i&s-hebt  Company.  1S:M3  candles. 

New-York  Mutu*!,  22.22  candles. 

The  Examiner  of  Gas  Is  not  required  by  the 
nrdinance  anthorizing  bla  appointment  to  test 
the  ptirity  of  the  City's  ^as.  oat  Mr.  Love  has 
made  some  experiments  which  have  shown  that  the 
amount  of  sulphur  which  it  contains  U  comparative- 
ly small.  In  London,  Parliament  demands  that  the 
gas  shall  contain  no  more  than  20  grains  of  sulphur 
in  100  cubic  feet.  To  purify  the  gas  to  such  an  ex- 
tent it  is  necessary  to  pass  it  through  lime — the  oxide 
of  iron,  generally  used  in  London,  leaving  a  much 
greater  amount  of  sulphur  In  the  gcs.  The  odor  of 
the  waste  lime,  however.  Is  very  oflfensive  and  dan- 
gerous in  such  a  populous  city  as  London,  and 
the  gas-light  companies  there  are  in  a  quandary. 
In  this  City  oxide  of  iron  and  lime  are  both  used  m 
pnrtf>'ing  the  rss.  and  Mr.  Love  has  satisfied  himself 
that  the  proportion  of  sulphur  in  it  certainly  does 
not  exceed  20  grains  in  100  cubic  feet ;  and  the  com- 
panies who  furnish  the  gas  say  that  100  cubic  feet  of 
it  do  not  contain    more    than  12  erains  of  sulphur. 

Another  duty  of  the  Examiner  of  Gas  is  to  test  the 
burners  used  on  the  street  lamps.  The  law  demands 
the  use  of  burners  consuming  three  cubic  feet  an 
hour.  Hitherto  there  have  been  very  few  examina- 
tions of  burners :  now  and  then  a  single  one  has 
been  removed  and  its  power  tested,  but  now  those 
examinations  are  conducted  regularly,  and  upon  a 
proper  basis,  by  Mr.  Love.  The  specific  gravity  of 
the  gas  of  the  various  companies  is  also  determined 
in  the  photometrical  room,  as  it  bears  a  direct  rela- 
tion to  its  illuminating  power^^ 

There  are  also  in  the  room  three  pressure  reg- 
isters, which  are  attached  directly  to  the  mains  of 
each  company.  They  are  self-registering,  and 
the  pressure  Is  continually  recorded  on 
the  '  olanks  nrovided  for  that  purpose. 
The  companies  are  required  to  furnish  gas  at  a  pres- 
sure of  one  inch.  The  appliances  in  the  photometri- 
cal-room  for  determining  the  pressure  show  that  it 
rarely  falls  so  low  as  that,  and  that  at  certain  hours 
it  rises  much  higher ;  for  instance,  between  7  and  8 
o'clock,  when  the  theatres  are  lighting  up,  and  the 
gas  is  in  use  throughout  the  City,  the  pressure  is  fre- 
quently as  mnch  as  three  In*  hes. 

The  argai:d  Immera  used  by  Mr.  Love  In  his  experi- 
ments are  the  .SuggLetbeby  burners  prescribed  by  Par- 
liament for  tise  in  London.  The  gas  used  in  Kew-York 
City  is,  on  the  whole,  of  an  excellent  quality.  The 
richest  gas  is  that  famlsHed  by  the  Mew-York 
Mutual  Company,  of  which  the  Examiner  finds  it  im- 
possible to  bam  as  mach  as  fiv^  cubic  feet  in  an 
Sour.  Naphtha  is  used  in  the  muMfacture  of  this 
gas,  and  the  complaint  has  been  made  that  it  pro- 
duces smolce.  The  same  complaint  is  mnde  of  the  gas 
of  the  new  Mnnicloal  Company,  which  has  been  tried 
in  Delmonico's  up-towu  restaurant.  Theillumlnatiag 
power  of  this  gas,  however,  is  said  to  be  great.  It  is 
water  gaa.  and  is  made  by  passing  steam  over  red-hot 
coals,  thus  decomposing  the  steam,  so  that  the  oxy- 
gen unitine  with  the  carbon  produces  carbonic  oxide, 
which,  with  the  hydrogen,  enriched  with  naphtha, 
forms  the  gas. 

The  Photometrical  Room  is,  as  a  matter  of  course, 
a  part  of  the  Bureau  of  Lamps  and  Gas,  and  Superin- 
tendent McCormick  naturally  regards  the  new 
Mnnicipal  infant  with  pride.  The  examinations'  are 
conducted  in  the  Photometrical  Room  daily,  and 
duubtlees  their  valae  to  the  public  will  become  more 
and  more  apparent  as  the  work  progresses. 

AMERICAN  PETJtOLEUiLABROAD. 
At  the  meeting  of  the  Boara  of  Mana^rs 
of  the  Prodnee  Exchange  yesterday,  the  subject  of 
the  recent  eommunicatiou  from  the  Bremen  Petro- 
leum Exchange,  relative  to  the  American  system 
of  testing  oil  and  other  matters,  was  taken 
np.  Some  time  since  the  ofBcials  of  tlie 
Bremen  body  wrote  to  the  managers  of  the 
Produce  Exchange  here,  complaining  that  the 
tests  in  use  in  this  country  were  insufficient  in  sev- 
eral respects,  and  also  allei^ng  that  an  Inspector  in 
Baltimore  had  recently  failed  to  discbarge  his  duty 
in  examining  a  cax^  of  petroleum  destined  for  a 
German  port.  The  communication  was  referred  to 
the  Committee  on  Trade,  who  yesterday  reported  the 
draft  of  a  reply — which  was  ordered  to  be  forwarded 
— to  the  effect  that  the  American  system  of  tests  was 
approved  by  the  best  authotiities  in  both  countries, 
andtliat  the  charges  against  the  Baltimore  inspector 
(who  is  licensed  by  the  New-York  Produce  Exchange) 
wotild,  if  proved,  be  followed  by  his  immetUate  dis- 
missal.  It  la  the  intention  of  the  board  to  order  a 
rigid  investigation  as  soon  as  the  accused  inspector 
returns  from  Europe. 

TBB  AmrUAL  CATHOLIC  RETREAT. 
The  Roman  Catholic  clergymen  of  the  arob- 
diocese  of  New-York  will  begin  their  annual  retreat 
on  Monday  next  at  St.  Joseph's-  Seminary,  in  Tioy. 
It  is  announced  that  Cardinal  MeCloskey,  who  has 
iust  returned  from  a  visit  to  Newport,  will  be  pres- 
ent. The  purpose  of  the  retreat  is  to  gain  strength 
for  the  better  alscharge  of  the  duties  of  the  ministry, 
and  iu  special  feature  will  be  rigid '  self-examination, 
meditation  on  religious  matters,  and  other  reUgions 
exercises  calculated  to  improve  the  sjilritual  mind. 
The  exerdsae  will  be  Erected  by  Rev.  Father  Durtha-

SIFLE  MATTERS. 


THS  THIRTEENTH  BEOOCENT  AT  CKEED- 
MOOB — THE  RECEPTION  OF  THE  BRITISH 
TEAM. 

The  Thirteenth  Begiment,  Brooklyn,  engaged 
in  rifle  pnotice  at  Oreedmoor  yesterday.  The  nimi- 
ber  of  men  present  waa  248.  The  re^^tment  was 
under  oommand  of  Col.  David  E.  Austen,  late  of  the 
Forty -seventh,  who  accompanied  the  regiment  as  its 
commanding  officer  for  the  first  time.  Capt.  Ackei^ 
man.  Regimental  Inspector  of  Kile  Practice,  and 
Capt.  J.  H.  Story,  Acting  Brigade  Inspector,  superin- 
tended the  shootmg.  The  number  who  qualified  at 
100  and  150  yarda  to  shoot  at  300  and  400  yards 
was  156.  Good  order  was  maintained  dtirlng  the  en- 
tire day,  and  the  regiment,  in  falling  back  from  one 
firing  point  to  another,  did  so  in  good  order.  The

The  Committee  of  Hve  of  the  National  Rifle  Asso- 
ciation having  in  charge  the  international  match,  and 
the  reception  of  the  British  team,  held  a  meeting 
yesterday  afternoon.  Judge  N.  P.  Stanton  in  the 
chair.  Other  members  present  were  Gen.  D.  D.  Wy- 
lie,  Capt.  W.  C.  Casey,  and  Capt  J.  G.  Story.  The 
sub-committee  all  reported  that  their  work  was  com- 
pleted, and  that  everything  was  now  in  readiness  for 
the  Fall  prize  meeting  and  the  international  match; 
The  committee,  accompanied  by  a  few  invited  guests, 
will  Eo  down  theB  ay  to-day,  on  the  steamer  Nelson 
K.  Hopkins,  to  meet  the  British  team,  which  is  ex- 
pected to  arrive  by  the  Inman  steamer  Ci»y  of  Rich- 
mond. The  little  boat  will  leave  the  stone  pier 
at  the  Battery  at  1  P.  M.  The  Governors  Island 
BandhaS  been  engaged  for  the  occasion  to  enliven 
the  trip,  end  a  small  mountain  howitzer  will  be  used 
to  salute  the  steamer  upon  its  coming  in  siglit.  Hav. 
ing  token  the  foreign  team  on  board,  the  Hopkins 
will  return  to  the  Oty.  and  will  land  her  passengers 
at  the  foot  of  West  Twenty -third-street,  where  car- 
riages will  bo  in  waiting  to  convey  the  team  to  the 
fmh-avenne  Hotel. 

Gen.  Wylie  reported  that  the  Long  Island  Railroad 
Company  had  promised  to  furnish  complimentary 
pasae*  to  the  British  team  over  its  road  from  Long 
Island  City  to  Creedraoor,  and  an  effort  will  be  made 
to  procure  a  aimilar  extension  of  courtesiea  to  the 
American  team  on  practice  and  match  days.  A  new 
wooden  building  is  to  be  erected  on  the  range,  ad- 
joining the  present  head-4iuarters  of  Superintendent 
Brower,  at  an  expense  of  $*i50.  The  committee  au- 
thorized Gen.  Wylie  to  procure  a  permanent  tent  for 
the  use  of  the  President  on  t^e  range.  An  adjourn- 
ment was  then  taken. 


PURE  TABLE  WATER 
The  waters  of  the  ApoUinari^^Sprinsr,  in  the 
Valley  of  the  Ahr,  Germany,  are  at  present  attract- 
ing much  attention.  This  spring  belongs  to  the  dass 
of  acidulated  soda  waters,  and  Its  admirable  quality 
has  made  it  highly  ponular  as  a  beverage  for  the 
table.  It  possesses  a  pleasant  flavor  and  stroug  effer- 
vescence, containing  and  retaining  99  per  oent.  of 
carbonic  acid  longer  than  any  mineral  water,  and  re- 
maining fresh  and  brisk  long  after  the  eork  Is  drawn. 
Combining  as  it  does  the  advantages  of  natural  and 
artificial  waters,  agreeable  taste,  and  valttable  diet- 
etic qualities,  it  is  not  surprialng  that  it  has  met 
with  the  approval  of  Mr.  J.  A.  Wauklyn,  the  noted 
English  analyst,  and  has  been  preferred  by  leading ' 
British  medical  journals  to  any  of  the  artificial 
waters  ef  commerce  now  In  use.  In  the 
XTnlted  States  Its  popularity  is  becoming  very 
great.  Dr.  R.  Ogden  Doremus  pronounces  it  free 
from  organic  Impurities^  and  entirelv  impregnated 
with  its  own  natural  ^^-  and  Dr.  Fordyce  Barker, 
who  has  used  it  for  six  or  eight  years,  regards  it  as 
the  most  agreeable  of  mineral  waters,  whetner  drank 
alone  or  with  rlaret.  chunpa^ne  or  aherry.  and  of 
utility  in  certain  catarrhal  conditions  of  the  mucous 
membrane  of  the  stomach  and  bladder,  as  well  as  for 
pt-rsona  predisposed  to  gout  in  its  milder  forms.  Dr. 
Austin  flint,  and  Dr.  William  A.  Hammond,  who 
have  made  extensive  use  of  the  Apollinoris  water, 
concur  In  approving  it,  and  Dr.  Hammond  considers

STUDYING  AMERICAN  SURVEYING. 
The  International  Geodetical  Association  ia 
an  official  union  of  the  Government  stirveys  of  14 
countries,  (somewhat  similar  to  the  Postal  Union,) 
which  holds  annual  meetings  at  Brussels,  for  the  sake 
of  concerting  arrangements  for  connecting  the  maps 
of  the  different  countries,  as  well  as  for  the  consider- 
ation of  methods  of  avoiding  errors  and  of  reducing 
the  expenses  of  the  operations.  The  published  jour- 
o^  of  the  last  year's  meeting  states  that  an  officer 
was  sent  to  the  United  States  in  order  to  study  and 
report  upon  the  metHods  in  tise  in  the  Coast  Survey. 
He  "  gave  some  details  of  this  gigantic  work,  which 
embraces  a  considerable  number  of  degrees  of  longi- 
tude, and  in  connecting  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific 
Oceans  not  only  crosses  the  Rocky  Mountains,  bnt 
adso,  what  is  still  more  difficult,  the  vast  plains  of  the 
prairies."  The  United  States  has,  unforttmately,  no 
authorized  representative  in  the  International  Lnion. 
There  mtist  be  much  to  learn  from  the  experience  of 
the  14  national .  surveys,  which  are  so  zealously 
studying  the  economics  of  geodesy.  It  appears  from 
the  report  just"rt:ited  that  ' '  Mr.  Carlyle  P.  Patterson, 
the  &iperintendent  of  the  Oo«t  Survey,  received 
Ttith  warm  approval  the  idea  suggested  to  him  by  M. 
le  Commandant  Perrier,  of  making  gepdetical  opera- 
tions by  night."  A  correspondent  suggests  "if  it  is 
true  that  night  observations  are  of  such  advantage, 
does  it  become  the  United  States  Coast  Stirvey  to 
learn  of  them  from  a  remark  let  fall  by  a  European  offl- 
cer sent  to  this  country  for  the  purpose  of  improving 
European  surveys  I"  It  is  to  be  feared  that  the  su- 
periority of  our  gzeat  stirveyover  those  *f  other 
countideswiU  not  be  maintained  unless  means  are 
taken  by  which  It  may  avail  Itaelf  of  their  experience.

It  is  suspected  that  the  bonds  as  well  as  the  coupons 
have  been  forged,  though  as  to  that  nothing  of  a 
definite  nature  has  been  developed.  The  matter  is 
now  being  investigated. 

The  legislative  commission  appointed  to  pre- 
pare a  general  law  for  the  government  of  all  (uties  in 
the  State  of  New-Jersey  met  yesterday  at  the  office 
of  Amzi  Dodd,  at  Newark.  ^  City  Counsel  Hon.  of 
Camden,  and  City  Counsel  Chetwood,  of  Elizabeth. 
gave  their  personal  experience  of  the  workings  of 
city  charters,  pointing  out  what  they  consider  the 
more  serious  evils  of  those  existing,  and  suggesting  sev- 
eral changes  in  the  mode  of  making  streets,  and 
assessing  and  collecting  the  costs  thereof.  At  the 
concltision  of  these  statements  the  commission  ad- 
journed until  September  1. 

At  the  close  of  the  Centennial  Exhibition  the 
structtire  known  as  the  Kew-Jersey  Building,  which 
was  erected  by  the  State  on  the  grounds,  was  pur- 
chased by  some  public  spirited  citizens  and  presented 
to  the  town  of  Haddonfield  as  a  public  hall.  The 
building  was  removed  to  Haddonfield,  and  yesterday 
it  waa  ^dedicated.  Among  those  present  at  the  re- 
dedication  were  Hon.  Orestes  Cleveland.  Gov.  Bedle, 
the  Centennial  Commissioners,  John  Welsh,  Presi- 
dent ofthe  Board  of  Finance  of  the  Centennial  Com- 
missioners, and  a  large  number  of  prominent  citi- 
zens from  all  parts  of  the  Sute.  Addresses  were  de- 
livered by  Gov.  Bedle.  Mr.  Cleveland,  and  omers. 
Carl  Sentz's  Orchestra  supplied  tbe  mtisic  ane  the 
Handel  and  Haydn  Society  sang. 

The  inquest  in  the  case  of  Patrick  Fallahee, 
who  died  in  a  cell  in  the  First  Precinct  Police  Sta- 
tion. Jersey  City,  was  concluded  last  evening.  Coun- 
ty Physician  Converse  testified  that  he  had  made  a 
post-mortem  examination,  and  found  on  FaJlahee's 
head  a  scalp  wound  about  an  inch  in  length,  while 
about  an  inch  below  that  was  a  contusion,  apparent- 
ly made  some  time  before  th  e  scalp  wound  bad  been 
produced  ;  neither  had  or  could  have  caused  an^  se- 
rious injury.  In  his  opinion  death  was  caused  by 
syncope,  due  to  depressed  state  of  the  nervous  sys- 
tem, brought  on  by  the  excessive  tise  of  alcoholic 
stimulants.  The  wounds  on  Fallahee's  head  had 
nothing  to  do  with  his  dea,th.  The  jury  rendered* 
verdict  to  that  effect,  and  Fitzgerald  was  discha^ed.

Lo>-l>03f ,  Aiig.  23.— The  Turks  have  been 
bluned  for  not  following  up  their  recent  suc- 
cesses at  Plevna.    Their  inaction  was  not  the 
resnlt  of  apathy.    They  were  »-alting  to  attempt 
a  movement  eti  matsSy  deciding  not  to  stir  until 
all  their  forces  were  in  position.      The  present 
activity  shows  that  allthe  Turkish  armies  are 
acting  under  one  supreme  direction.      The   cor- 
respondent of  The  Nevt-Tosk  TniES  at  Bucha- 
rest writes  that  their  forces  now  number  50,- 
000  men  at  Basgrad,  4O,0flO  at  Osman  Bazar, 
40,000  with  Suleiman  Pasha,   and  55,000  at 
Plevna  and  Loftscha,  under  Osman  Pasha.     To- 
day they  are  faced  by  200,000  Russians. 

The  reports  of  the  engagement  in  Schipka 
Pass  have  been  much  exaggerated.  It  was  only 
one  feature  of  the  general  advance  of  the  Turks. 
The  villages  in  the  immediate  neighbornood  of 
the  Sehlpka  Pass  are  now  in  Turkish  hands, 
and  heavy  flehting  is  going  on  at  various  points, 
with  evidences  of  brilliant  generalship  on  the 
part  of  the  Turks.  The  movement  is  tending 
in  the  direction  of  Tircova.  Reinforcements 
t  r  the  Russian  Army  are  pouring  in,  and  many- 
more  are  expected.  The  Turks  must  send 
20,000  men  from  Plevna  to  meet  the  Rotuna- 
Dian  Army.  The  Rnssians  are  now  as  strongly 
posted  at  Timova  as  the  Turks  were  at  the 
battle  of  Plevna. 


DUpateS  to  thi  Asso/riizui  Prrsa. 

LoN-DON,  Aug.  25. — The  precise  object  of  the 
Turkish  activity  since  the  21st  Inst,  remains 
doubtful.  All  commentators  fs.il  to  understand 
why  Suleiman  Pasha  shonlii  waste  the  lives  of 
his  men  by  an  endeavor  to  force  the  Schipka 
Pass  by  a  front  attack  when  he  could  effect  a 
junction  with  the  Turkish  forces  north  of  the 
Balkans  by  marching  through  the  Demir-C*- 
pon  Pass  so  as  to  join  ilehemet  Ali 
Pasha,  or  cou'.d  join  Osman  Pasha  by 
way  of  Sophia,  both  of  tbese  routes 
being  unquestionably  in  possession  of  the  Turks, 
and  offering  the  advantage  of  randering  the 
Schipka  Pass  untenable  for  the  Russian*.  It  is 
notevTirthy  that  the  estimate  of  the  forces  ea- 
g3ged  in  attackuig  the  Schipka  Pass  at  40  bat- 
talions comes  from  Russian  screes,  and  it  is 
twinted  oiit  that  the  pass  does  nit  offer  a  front 
for  mo.'e  than  SOO  or  1,000  men.  On  the 
whole,  it  is  possible  that  the  attack  on  the 
Schipka  Pa<-.s  was  intended  as  a  feint,  while  the 
bulk  of  Suleiman  Pasha's  forces  effected  a  juno- 
tioE  with  Mehemet  Ali  by  some  more  easterly 
dehle.  There  have  already  been  rumors 
tha';  the  advance  guard  of  Suleiman 
Pasha's  ri^ht  wing  has  appeared  at 
Bebrova,  on  the  northern  slope  of  the  Balkans, 
end  it  is  noteworthy  that  Mehemet  All's  army, 
for  the  first  time  since  the  commencement  of 
the  eampaicm,  hae  been  showing  activity,  as 
though  feeling  forward  to  meet  Suleiman 
Pasha's  advance.  The  reported  Turkish  at- 
tack on  firova  is  probably  merely  an  exagger- 
ated version  of  the  movement  of  Me- 
hemet  AJi's  forces  from  Eski-Djnma  in 
the  direction  of  Agahaslar,  (or  Jalsar.) 
ind  the  apparent  object  of  which  is  to  effect  a 
junction  with  Suleiman  Pasha  on  the  road  from 
E.iki-Djuina  to  Timova.  It  is  thought  that  a 
few  days  must  dear  up  these  p*,ints.  as  it  is  evi- 
dent a  crisis  is  approaching  when  the  Turks 
must  do  something  before  the  bulk  of  the  Rus- 
sian reinforcements  arrive.  Speaking  gene- 
rally, the  Turks,  aided  by  their  command  of  the 
sea,haveaIreadybroughtupreinforcements.and, 
though  they  certainly  have  mom  men  coming, 
namely,  the  33,000  from  Bagdad  and  further 
levies  of  Militia  from  .\sia  3Iinorand  Syria, 
they  will  represent  a  much  ^nailer  ratio  to  the 
number  of  "Turks  now  between  the  Danube  and 
Constantinople  than  the  Russian  reinforcements 
will  hear  to  the  Russian  Army  in  Bulgaria. 
Moreover,  the  Turkish  reinforcfcments  must 
hereafter  be  largely  employed  in  maintaining 
arder  in  the  provinces  which  are  threatened  with 
new  or  revived  revolts. 

Reports  as  to  the  bad  commissariat  of  the 
Ra5.«aans  continues.  It  is  said  that  the  troops 
it  Sistova  on  Tuesday  rioted  because  of  bad  pro- 
dsions,  and  threw  100,000  moldy  loaves  of 
bread  into  the  Danube. 

The  Ru.'teians  on  their  part  are  making  every 
oreparation  for  a  prolonged  campaign.  It  is 
said  they  have  contracted  with  an  engineering 
arm  for  the  construction  of  bridges  across  the 
Danube  capable  of  withstanding  ice.  Also, 
instead  of  their  occupation  of  the  Dobrudscba 
being  a  transitory  measure,  as  would  have  been 
the  case  if  it  was  merely  intended  to  cover  a 
rrossing  of  the  Danube  at  a  point  higher  up  the 
stream.  Gen.  Zimmerman  is  strongly  fortify- 
ing various  points  and  receiving  ammunition 
and  sieg«  material  to  an  extent  which  shows 
tiat  his  occupation  is  not  now  merely  as  it  may 
have  been  up  to  within  three  weeks  ago,  but 
that  future  siege  operations  against  the 
fortresses  of  the  quadrilateral  are  seriously 
intendefl.  The  Ttirks  also  seem  to  be  arriving 
at  the  conclufdon  that  the  Russiiins  mean  .serious 
operations  in  this  direction.  They  have  in- 
trusted Prince  Hassan  with  the  tasfe  of  facing 
and  engaging  Gen.  Zimmerman,  while  Fazli 
Pasha  operates  on  the  Lower  Danube  against 
Blilia  and  Xikolaevka,  supported  'tif  the  fleet 
under  Hobort  Pasha.  It  seems  certain  that  the 
fleet  intends  striking  a  blow  somewhere  between 
Sniioa  and  Odessa,  to  parry  which  reinforce- 
ments have  been  dispatched  from  Akarman  to 
Tartar-Bunar  and  Nikolaevka. 

In  Armenia  the  week  has  been  one  of  utter 
stagnation.  Both  belligerents  are  resting  on 
their  arms.  Gen.  3Ielikoff  is  intent  on  trying 
to  discover  some  weak  point  in  the  line  oi  de- 
fense, and  Mukhtar  Pasha  is  watching  every 
movement  of  the  foe,  to  ascertain  the  cSrection 
in  which  the  next  blow  will  be  struck. 
Since  the  renewal  of  the  Russian  of- 
fensive, the  Turks  have  apparently 
bad  somewhat  the  'oest  of  the  fighting,  inas- 
much es  they  have  succeeded  in  retaining  the 
positions  from  which  it  was  Gen.  ilelikoff's 
object  to  drive  them  :  but  the  operations  in  this 
quarter  are  altogether  of  subor^nate  interest  to 
those  In  Europe.  It  is  known  that  the  Turks 
have  withdrawTi  part  of  their  Asiatic  Army  to 
the  European  seat  of  war,  while  the  Russians 
are  reported  to  have  similarly  diverted  part  of 
the  reinforcements  originally  intended  for  Asia.

IiOSl>0if,  Aug.  25. — Advices  from  Gomy- 
Btoden,  dated  Friday,  say:  ''The  Turks  in 
strong  force  violently  attacked  Schipka 
Pass  yesterday  on  three  sides.  AH  of  their 
onslaughts  were  repulsed.  At  9  o'clock 
in  the  evening  a  rifle  corps,  which 
had  arrived  as  a  reinforcement,  stormed  the 
heights  on  the  Russian  right  flank,  and 
desperate  lighting  eontinned  till  midnight,  when 
«ii  eclipse  4f  the  moon  stopped  the  fighting. 
The  Russians  maintained  all  of  their  positions, 
liotwithstanding  -the  Turkish  numerical  sup- 
eriority and  cross  fire.  The  Russians  have  now 
feiubt  for  four  days,  the  whole  of  Suleiman 
Pass's  army,  without  partaking  of  rest  or 
warm  nourishment.  Further  considerable  rein- 
foroementB  are  expected  during  the  night" 

A  later  dispatch  savs  the  fighting  on  Friday 
was  confined  to  aA  lively  cannonade.  The 
Turkish  left  wing,  threatening  the  Russian 
rear,  has  been  driven  from  its  position.  All  is 
quiet  at  I^oftechaand  Plevna.

BtJOHaBEST,  Monday,  Aug.  6,  1877. 
Gen.  Schildner-Schnldner  is  to  be  court- 
martialed  for  neglect  of  duty  and  general  in- 
capacity ;  he  had  no  outposts  in  rear  of  his  posi- 
tion, when  surprised  at  Plevna  on  the  19th  of 
July,  and  allowed  bis  first  brigade  to  be  repulsed 
on  the  20th.  and  destroyed  on  the  23d,  because 
he  did  not  advance  his  reserves.  Gen.  Krildener 
is  to  be  court-martialed  for  n^lecting  to  secure 
the  hill  defiles  through  which  Osman  Pasha's 
reinforcements  passed  on  the  2Sth  of  Jtily,  and 
for  general  incapacity  in  the  oombatof  the  29th 
of  July,  and  the  battleof  the  30th  of  July.  Abd- 
ul Kerim  is .  to  be  court-martialed  for  utter 
worthlessness ;  and  Eschreff  Pasha  is  to  be 
court-martialed  for  wanting  to  sell  Rnstchnk 
to  the  Russians,  after  the  manner  of  Youssouf 
Pashaat  yamain  1828.  In  short,  the  last  10 
days  have  been  fruitful  in  the  sacrifice  of  scape- 
goats to  cover  the  disgrace  of  defeat  on  the  one 
side  and  of  inaction  on  the  other.  There  is  no 
doubt  about  the  justice  of  the  charges  in  each 
case,  but,  although  the  Turks  have  already 
begun  to  profit  by  their  change  of 
leaders,  the  remedy  must  be  much  more 
radical  in  the  case  of  Russia  before  any 
favorable  symptoms  will  be  manifested  in  the 
condition  of  the  Russian  Army.  The 
defeats  before  Plevna,  at  Rasgrad.  at  Silistria, 
and  at  Eski-Saghra  are  only  the  effects  of  a 
wretched  system  of  tactics,  and  are  due  not  so 
much  to  the  incapacity  as  to  the  ignorance  of 
the  Generals.  They  did  wh.\t  they  were  told  to 
do,  and  as  well  as  they  knew  how.  but  they 
have-  never  been  taught  to  do  better,  and 
if,  when  every  other  civilijed  nation  has  adopt- 
ed a  formation  in  open  ordeir,  the  Russian  offi- 
cers are  instructed  to  keep  in  column,  they  can 
scarcely  be  blamed  for  not  deploying  before 
they  got  into  the  range  of  the  enemy's  batter- 
ies, whose  projectiles  tore  their  dense  mssses 
into  frasments.  All  the  heroism  of  the  troops 
is  useless  in  such  circumstances  as  these,  and 
all  the  possible  latent  talent  of  any  particular 
chief  is  powerless  if  the  orders  which  he  has  re- 
ceived forbid  its  development.  Messrs  Kriide- 
ner  and  Schildner-Schuldner  doubtless  deserve 
their  fate,  whatever  it  may  be.  but  if  the  great 
burning  and  shining  light  who  planned  the 
campaign  were  to  be  included,  together  with  all 
the  other  old  fogies  of  the  General  Staff,  in  the 
hecatomb  of  iucapables,  nothing  but  mere  jus- 
tice would  be  meted  out  and  the  Russians 
might  have  some  ohance  of  retrieving  their  lost 
prestige. 

Long  before  the  first  shot  was  fired,  I  stated, 
in  The  >'ew-Yokk  Tuies,  my  reasons  for  sup- 
posing that  the  Russians  would  probably  make 
the  mistake  of  splitting  up  their  Army  into  rela- 
tively feeble  columns.  I  quoted  the  old  Turk- 
ish proverb ;  "  Whenever  you  see  one  turban, 
be  Sure  that  there  are  thousands  behind."  It 
is  as  true  now  as  it  was  in  the  days  of  Amurath 
and  Bajazid,  and  gave  the  opinion  of  the  infal- 
lible Moltke  that :  "As  the  Turks  entirely  ig- 
nore the  use  of  detachments  and  advanced 
guards,  remaining  always  concentrated  in  mass, 
similar  tactics  must  be  practiced  by  their  ene- 
mies who,  otherwise,  are  ever  in  danger  of 
being  crushed  by  superior  for-es."  The  Rus- 
sians, from  the  annals  of  all  their 
former  campaigns,  were  perfectly  aware 
of  this,  but  they  neglected  to  profit  by 
the  experience  of  the  past :  they  believed 
themselves  to  be  invincible,  and  they  have  been 
punished.  t-Like  the  person  of  the  name  of 
Jeshuron,  who  kicked  and  became  generally  un- 
manageable from  over-prosperity,  the  Russians, 
emboldened  by  the  easy  victories  in  the  passage 
of  the  Danube  and  the  capture  of  Xikopolis, 
got  above  themselves,  and  with  their  valiant 
allies,  the  Roumanians,  even  went  so  far  as  to 
publish  in  the  columns  of  the  Roumanian  press, 
10  days  or  a  fortnight  in  advance,  the  precise 
date  of  the  stirrender  of  Rustchuk,  which,  as 
yet.  has  not  been  regularly  invested-  Entirely 
ignoring  the  possibility  that  the  governor  of 
the  fortress  might  not  be  afBicted  with  the  same 
venality  as  the  late  Eschreff,  or  that  the  new 
Serder-Ekrem  might  be  of  a  different  compo.si- 
tion  from  the  algebraically  minded  Abdul 
Kerim,  who  would  not  let  his  men  fight  until  he 
had  found  out  the  precise  value  of  x. 

There  is  not  a  little  reaction  since  the  late  re. 
verses,  and  a  sort  of  misunderstanding  in  the 
camp  of  Agramant.  Last  evening  a  Russi.in 
oflficer  remarked  in  public  that  matters  were 
much  more  serious  than  his  Government  had 
anticipated.  'Xo  wonder,"  replied  a  brilliant 
Wallachiau.  whose  boot*  are  the  admiration  of 
all  thefafes,  and  who  will  probably  make  up  his 
mind  to  abandon  Bucharest  when  he  baa  learned 
that  Constantinople  is  occupied  by  a  Ruasian 
garrison:  "no  wonder  that  you  have  been 
beaten ;  if  your  Government  bad  not  depre-' 
elated  our  Army,  and  if  we  had  been  allowed  to 
pass  the  Danube,  Plevna  would  have  been  a 
victory,  and  your  position  would  not  have  been 
so  critical  as  it  is;"  and  then  the  Muscovite 
rose  in  wrath,  and  said  something  unintelligi- 
ble to  me,  but  probably  disagreeable  in  sound  ; 
for  the  descendant  of  the  Romans  left  hur- 
riedly and  in  disorder.  For  more  than  a  month 
I  have  asked  the  question :  "  When  are  you  going 
to  cross  1"  and  have  received  the  invariable  an- 
swer :  "•  To-morrow  or  the  day  after,  at 
latest,"  and  stich  is  thoir  national  van- 
ity that  a  week  ago  was  published  a 
soul-stirring  descriotion  of  the  advance 
of  their  heroes,  music  playing  and  banners 
flaunting  in  the  early  breeze  of  mom,  the 
''  gallant"  ^lano  at  their  head,  and  all  Bulgaria 
wild  with  rapture  at  their  heuciism ;  and  all  this^, 
w^ell  knowing  that  it  was  an  ilnpudent  false- 
hood, and  that  only  one  regiment — ^very  much 
against  its  will,  for  the  first  wounded  from  the 
fight  at  Plevna  had  begun  to  straggle  in — had 
been  ferried  over,  and  that  all  the  artillery  and 
as  much  of  the  infantry  as  they  dared  to  keep 
were  in  safety  on  the  left  bank.  There  must 
have  been  some  recriminations  addressed  to 
the  Government  by  somebody  on  this  refusal  to 
obey  orders,  for,  not  content  with  the  military 
explanation— that  the  Russians  would  not  gi  ve 
them  a  bridge,  and  that  the  Roumanian  Army 
was  ur.provided  with  means  of  transportation — 
the  JiomanuX  has  seen  fit  to  justify  the  delay,  on 
high  political  grounds,  by  the  assertion  that 
Roumania  would  never  sacrifice  her  independ- 
ence of  action  to  mere  expediency,  and  that  her 
sons  would  never  submit  to  the  orders  of  any 
foreign  cMeftain.  The  true  history  of  the  af- 
fair IS  the  following :  On  the  20th  of  July, 
Prince  John  Ghika,  commonly  known  among  bis 
countrymen  as  "  Gen.  Zero,"  who  is  attached 
to  the  Imperial  Head -quarters,  was  sent  over 
with  dispatches  from  the  Grand  Duke  to  Prince 
Charles,  requesting  that  the  troops  at  lalacz 
should  take  the  place  of  the  Russian  garrison  of 
Nikopolls,  which  was  needed  in  the  field.  Now 
Ghika,  who  was  acquainted  with  the  content*  of 
the  letter,  is  patriotic  and  above  all  eonstitn- 
tionaL  So,  before  going  to  Pojana.  where  is 
his  Sovereign,  he  called  upon  the  Minister  of 
Fonion  Asadn.  Cognlnloeaiio,  to  ask  hia  ad- 


vice. This  great  medicine  man,  in  his  turn,  sent 
for  the  head  Mamamouschi  Braidano,  and  the 
result  of  their  united  intellects  was  the  decision 
that  the  Grand  Duke's  request  could  be  com- 
plied with  only  on  certain  conditions,  to  wit.: 
Whereas,  the  report  of  the  said  Grand  Duke 
Xicholas  to  the  Emperor  on  the  operations  of 
the  Army  of  the  Danube  had  been  couched  in 
terms  so  offensive  to  the  Roumanians  that  the 
indignation  of  the  whole  country  had 
been  aroused;  and;  whereas,  Roumania 
had  not  spent  milKons  and  excited  the  jealousy 
of  all  Europe  only  to  become  the  lackey  of  Rus- 
sia ;  therefore,  the  demands  of  the  Grand  Duke 
must  be  refused  unless  the  said  person  would 
make  another  ofBdal  report  to  the  Czar,  in  which 
it  should  be  categorically  recognized  that  the 
capture  of  Nikopolis  was  in  great  part  due  to 
the  co-operation  of  the  Roumanian  artillery,  and 
that  henceforth  the  right  and  claim  of  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief of  the  Roumanian  Army  to  in- 
dependent action  should  be  acknowledged,  be- 
vond  the  possibility  of  any  future  contestation. 
If  all  this  was  settled,  Roumania  would  help 
Russia  out  of  her  self-create^  difBcultjes ;  but 
'if  not,  she  must  take  the  consequenceSjand  as 
she  had  chosen  to  sow  the  wind  so  mtit  she 
reap  the  whirlwind- 
After  coming  to  this  decision,  in  private  con- 
clave, all  the  -'medicine  men"  repaired  to 
Plojana,  where  Prince  Charles  sent  the  answer 
dictated  by  his  sages  to  the  Grand  Duke,  who 
sent  back  another  Roumanian  warrior,  Gen. 
Zeffcaria,  on  the  24th  of  July,  with  a  very  cate- 
gorical refusal  of  the  Roumanian  proposals,  and 
so  the  "braves "  remained  at  Tumu-ilagurelli, 
and  the  semi-official  journal  was  authorized  to 
publish  to  Christendom  that  ''Roumanians 
never  would  be  slaves,"  at  which  the  hearts  of 
Routnania's  Spartan  mothers  and  wifes,  and 
still  more  the  hearts  of  the  sons  and  *husband3 
of  the  same,  were  infinitely  relieved  and  com- 
forted. But  the  Prince  w-as'  very  sad  about  it, 
for  he  had  hinted  that  perhaps  after  all  his 
troops  would  be  in  Stamboul  before  the  Rus- 
sians could  get  there,  and  when  somebody  sug- 
gested that  such  unseemly  hfete  would  scarcely 
be  courteous  to  his  guests  reluctantly  agreed 
to  modify  his  programme  so  far  as  to  agree  to  a 
joint  occupation  of  the  Turkish  capital,  on  coa- 
dition  that  Mr.  Rosetti  should  oc--;upy  the  place 
of  honor  on  the  right  hand  of  i  he  Czar,  while 
the  Grand  Duke  Nicholas  should  ride  on 
the  left,  when  their  allied  legions  entered  the. 
city  of  the  Sultan.  Still  I  am  assured' 
that  Carol  I.  was  very  low  in  the  mind  ;  thnt  ho 
was  not  at  all  satisfied  with  his  present  rolo  of 
Mros  d'Op4ra  Couiiqiie,  and  had  neither  heart 
nor  voice  left  him  wherewith  to  chant  the  Rou- 
manian war  song.  He  was  burning  to  flesh  his 
maiden  sword  and  win  his  spurs  by  some  act  of 
esnecial  heroism  or  grand  strategy,  and  it  "was 
very  hard  to  damp  thus  his  martial  ardor.  But 
then  there  are  reason.*^  of  state  mort-  cogent  than 
even  these  heroic  aspirations,  andCogiuni-^eano. 
who  has  brains,  even  if  he  be  destitute  of  the 
enthusiasm  of  his  colleagues,  knowsthat.  in  face 
of  Austrian  warnings.  Roumanian  precipitation 
might  imperil  the  existence  of  the. nation,  and 
so  the  very  transparent  excuse  of  the  necessity 
for  the  assertion  of  national  .«elf-resi>ect  was 
imagined  to  salve  over  the  wounds  maiie  to 
nari,:inal  -vanity.  A  lew  detachments  are  thro-n-n 
•jver  to  the  right  bank  evt-ry  few  days,  fulio-w-ed 
by  the  inevitable  bulletin  :  ■•  Our  troops  retired 
in  good  order,  after  the  completion  of  the  recon- 
noissance,  bet^ore  superior  forces  of  the  enemy, 
whose  leases  are  unknown.  We  have  only  to 
deplore  the  loss  of  one  killed  and  throe 
wounded."  Occasionally  to  this  is  added, 
•  Lieutenant  X.  received  a  contusion."  This 
style  of  thing  has  now  been  stereotyped. 

Some  change,  however.  ha--i  taken  place -within 
at»;wdaT8;  the  brave  Jlsno  has  been  removed 
to  the  command  of  anfither  division,  and  a 
brigade  numbering  8.000  men,  belonging  to 
the  Fourth  Division.  h.as  cros.'-ed  over  to  Xikop- 
olis.  whose  garrison  has  gone  six  miles  out  of 
town  to  aid  in  the  reorganization  of  the  two 
Corp.*  bejiten  at  Pievua.  Tne  Prince  Ls  once 
m--  I--  jubilant,  but  no  one  knowa  whether  the 
Muscovites  have  made  the  am^nd/'-  honrtrahle  to 
Roumania's  wounded  pride,  or  whether,  as  is 
more  pix>bable,  he  has  been  content  with  a 
verbal  promise  that  he  may  have  his  independ- 
ent command,  and  may  get  him.>elf  in  and  out 
of  trouble  as  he  please.*.  provid»-d  that,  during 
a  certain  time,  he  will  consent  to  do  Polii-e 
duty. 

a' train  of  ,30  wagons,  containing  (500  wound- 
ed Russians,  left  Buciiare^t  tht*  morning,  en 
route  for  Kischeneff.  and  as  they  streamed  out 
of  the  station  a  sei-i^nd  contingent  of  about  the 
same  number  came  in.  About  30  of  the  first 
Datch  were  Cossacks,  and.  with  very  few  excep- 
tions— perhaps  a  score — all  had  been  hit  in  the 
right  or  left  forearm  ;  onlv  one  man  was  wound- 
ed in  the  head,  and  he  had  his  nose  shot  off. 
which  will  probably  be  put  down  iu  the  oau-i- 
logue  of  Turkish  atrocities.  The  other  10  had 
caught  it  in  the  legs  and  fe*^t.  They  all  seemed 
much\  demoralized,  and  were  evidently  glad 
to  go  home.  Each  man  wore  a  label 
around  his  neck.  in  the  shape  of 
a  bit  of  pasteboard,  inscribed  with  his 
name,  the  number  of  his  regiment,  the  na- 
ture of  his  wound  and  where  received,  and  his 
place  of  destination.  As  the  carriages  in  which 
they  came  are  simple  cattle  trucks,  it  is  pre- 
sumable that  all  the  ambulance  wagons  havo 
been  retained  for  the  more  severe  ca.snnltie.s. 
Xo  arrangements  have  been  inaiie  to  alleviam 
the  3uffel^ng3  of  these  poor  fellows,  who  h:tve 
now  l>een  on  the  move  fur  eight  days  without 
recei-ving  any  proper  attention.  -  -Vt  Fratesti, 
the  first  station  out  of  Oiurgevo.where  they  am 
transferred  from  the  bullock  carts  to  the  rail- 
way, I  hear  that  gangrene  has  begun  to  show 
itself,  and  from  my  personal  observation  I  can 
afllrm  that  the  sanitary  arrangements  at  this 
point  are  as  disjrracefully  incomplete  and  inetli- 
cient  as  those  of  the  *>,mmissary  and  Quarter- 
master Departments  which  1  have  already  si;<. 
nailed. 

The  great  event  of  the  day.  however,  is  the 
arrival  of  two  wounded  Roumanians;  one  an 
officer  with  a  bullet  in  his  arm.  the  other  a 
private  -with  one  foot  to  the  bad.  They  are  the 
tirst  specimens,  and  are  looked  upon  with  as 
much  interest  as  would  be  a  dodo  bird.  Hither- 
to the  national  hospitals  have  been  empty ; 
there  are  more  beds  in  them  than  there  are  sol- 
diers in  the  Army,  and  the  amount  of  lint  manu- 
factured by  lovely  -women  amounts  to  several 
thousand  tons  in  weight.  It  was  vety  hard 
that  all  this  patriotically  humanitarian  labor 
should  have  been  undertaken  iu  vain,  it  would 
be  so  nice  to  nurse  a  hero  and  brush  away  the 
blue-tailed  flies  which  trouble  his  repose, 
and  generally  be  a  ministering  angel,  and  so 
much  naughty  romance  might  have  grown  out 
of  it.  Alas  r  "fate  was  cruel,  and  Sister  Anne 
looked  out  vainly  for  the  coming  man.  "VN'hat 
wonder  is  it.  then,  that  the  ucws  of  the  advent 
of  a  wounded  warrior  should  spread  like  wild- 
fire through  the  town,  and  that  one  of  the  afore- 
said lovely  creatures,  who  in  company  with 
twenty  more  equally  lovely  was  diligently  era- 
ployed  in  scratching  away  at  a  piece  of  an  old 
sheet — what  wonder  can.  there  be  that  she 
clapped  her  hands  in  a  transport  of  gratitude 
to  a  beneflcieut  Providence  and  exclaimed; 
"  Evfiu  It  charme  Mt  romvu  et  nous  avoiis  df. 
blesstfs.''  Perhaps  the  b?«s-?Af  did  not  appreciate 
the  favor  quite  so  highly,  particularly  the  man 
who  had  lost  his  foot,  but  then  some  people  are 
selfish  by  nature,  and  the  nineteenth  century  is 
not  the  age  of  chivalrj'. 

A  report  was  current  on  Satnrdav  night  that 
a  band  of  Bashi-Bazouks  had  crossed  the  Dan- 
ube and  sacked  ^Vlexandria.  Of  course,  there 
was  nG  foundation  -R-hatever  to  the  rumor,  but, 
in  the  present  condition  of  the  Roumanian 
mind,  it  was  quite  sufficient  to  excite  the  direst 
forebodings  of  future  evil,  and  not  a  few  of  the 
population  have  made  every  preparation  for  a 
ha.sty  exodus  should  the  'Turks  pursue  their 
enemv  and  violate  Wallachian  soil,  and  the 
notables  of  the  town  worried  the  Russian  com- 
mandant of  the  place  until  the  small  hours  of 
the  morning  with  their  petitions  for  the  pro- 
tection of  tneir  lives  and  property.  There  is 
no  immediate  danger  of  a  Moslem  invasion,  but 
that  the  Rus.sians  estimate  at  a  low  figure  their 
chances  of  holding  their  positions  on  the  ntrht 
bank  may  be  judged  from  the  vast  accumula- 
tion of  boats  and  bridge  materials  which  they 
have  made  at  Sistova  The  last  advices  from 
the  Southern  Army  are  very  despondent  over 
the  ;situation  of  the  Gourtho  and  Seobalefl 
corps,  beyond  the  Balkans,  and  it  is  positive 
that  a  large  draft  has  been  made  on  the  forces 
of  the  Czaro witch  to  reinforce  the  centre  at  or 
near  Biela,  where  the  Turks  have  retaken  the 
bridge.  Xobody  knows  where  the  head^^uar 
tersare. 

P.  S- — ^I  am  assured  that  an  enterprising  ped- 
dler from  Paris  is  making  a  good  thing  by  the 
sale  of  "individual  bomb-proofs,'-  otherwise 
bullet-proof  cuirasses,  to  be  worn  under  the  uni- 
form, and  that  the  demand  far  exceeds  the  sup- 
ply. ,  ^  '

Spectal  2>iq>atoA  to  the  Sao-  Tork  Time*. 
Athens,  Ohio,  Aug.  25. — The  Republican 
campaign  in  Ohio  was  in  reality  opened  in  ihis 
county  town  to-day.    Earlj  in  the  day  the  rural 
commuDity  for  miles  around  began  to  pour  in 
in  all  kinds  of  vehicles,  and  by  the  time  of  the 
opening  of  the  meetimr^  at  1   P.  M.,  the  streets 
presented  a  holiday  appearance.     About  3,000 
people  assembled  in  the  College  Campus,  be- 
neath the  elms.    Judge  Welch,  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  was  chosen  Chairman,-' and,  after  paying 
a     compliment      to      the     eminent     speakers 
present,    introduced     Senator    Matthews,   who 
spoke  for  over  two  hours  from  printed  slips. 
The  following  are  the  essential  points  of  his 
remarks  on  silver  remonetlzation  : 

The  Republican  Convention  at  Cleveland,  npon 
the  question  of  restoriiig  silver  to  its  place  in  our 
eoinaee,  expressed  itself  in  the  following  resolution  : 
Retolvtd,  That  we  are  In  favor  of  bo:h  Mlver  and  gold 
as  monev;  that  both  Rball  h*"  a  lecal  tender  for  the  pay- 
ment offtUdebtji.  except  where  otherwiRe  Bpeclally  pro- 
vided by  law.  with  coinace  and  valuation  ho  regulated 
tliat  onr  people*  i«hall  n<^  be  placed  at  a  diBadvantjige  In 
our  trade  with  forei(m  nationB,  and  that  both  metals 
shall  be  kept  in  circulation  as  the  money  of  the  nation,  as 
contemplated  by  the  Constitntion ;  and  we  therefore  dc- 
mai^d  the  remonctiiatiuu  of  silver. 

This  is  a  very  distinct  declaration  in  favor  of  the 
rc-estahlishmeut  of  the  bi-metallic  standaitl  and  of 
the  restoration  of  silver,  not  as  a  subsidiary  coinaee, 
but  on  :m  eqnal  footing  with  gold,  as  a  legal  tender 
iu  pajTDent  of  all  debts,  and  in  all  Riims,  ex- 
cept whore  the  law  otherwise  Bpeeinlly  i^ro- 
vides.  The  only  conditions  to  its  remonetiza- 
tion  are  that  tne  coinage  and  .  the  valnation 
shall  be  so  rei^ulated  that  we  shall  not  suffer  in 
our  foreign  tra^le,  and  that  both  metals  shall  be  kept 
in  circulation  to;;ether  at  home.  This  qualification 
as  to  the  coin.ige  is  tmdonbtodly  neeessary  and 
proper.  In  the  present  relation  between  the  market 
value  of  gold  and  silver  bullion,  it  would  be  out  of 
the  question  to  permit  the  free  coinage  of  silver  on 
private  account.  The  coinage  of  silver  should,  for 
the  presejit.  be  made  on  Government  account  alone, 
and  in  quantities  which  would  not  prevent  the  cir- 
c-alntion  of  gold.  The  sin^e  and  simple  limitation 
upon  the  amount  coined  will  be  ample  for  this  pur- 
pose. There  seems  to  be  in  the  resolution  of  the 
convention  nn  implication  that  there  may  possibly 
be  existing  special  legislation  which  wouM  forbid 
silver,  when  restored,  from  being  a  legal  tender  tn  all 
cases.  An  examination  of  our  legislation  will  show 
that  there  is    no  ground    for  any    such    intimatiou. 

Mr.  MntthBWP  here  went  into  an  ej:amination 
of  the  laws  on  the  siibjw^t  and  came  to  the  fol- 
lowing conclusion  ; 

The  fact  then.  Hearlj  appears  that  no  part  of  the 
DuMic  debt  of  the  Vnited  States,  bv  \nnue  of  any 
.specbl  proviMona  of  law  under  which  it  was  ron- 
Irarted,  is  payable  otherwise  than  in  coin,  consisting 
of  gold  and  silver  of  the  standard  value,  as  estab- 
lished by  law  in  force  on  the  14th  day  of  'Tuly,  1870. 
Af«  on  that  date  the  silver  dollar  contained  371 14 
grains  of  pure  silver — the  ancient  silver  dollar, 
the  dollar  of  the  fathers — was  a  lawful  coin  of  the 
United  States,  of  a  standard  value,  and  a  legal  ten- 
der in  all  sums  for  the  payment  of  all  debts, 
eouaJly  with  coins  of  gold,  the  conclusion  is 
irresistible  that  the  t'nited  States  has  to-day 
the  legal  right  to  pay  every  parr  of  its  debt, 
principal  and  interest,  as  it  becomes  due.  in 
coins  of  that  description;  and.  if  they  cannot 
otherwise  be  procured,  to  purchase  in  the  open  mar- 
ket silver  bullion  at  any  price,  no  matter  how  cheap, 
and  coin  that  descriution  of  silver  dollars 
in  any  amounts  needed  for  tliat  purpose. 
The  question  of  leral  right  being  disposed  of  in 
ihat  way,  dLsposcs  of  the  question  of  moral  right  in 
the  same  way.  It  does  not,  of  course,  always  liappen 
that  legal  and  mornl  right  coincide.  But  here  it  is  a 
question  of  good  faith,  and  we  have  already  s*»en 
iliat  the  onlv  faith  expressly  pledged  wa«  to  pay  in 
coin,  of  gold  or  silver,  of'the  then  current  stand- 
ard value.  No  implication  can  be  raised  where  the 
rnntract  is  express,  and  it  does  not  alter  the  case  to 
snv  that,  in  point  of  fact,  no  silver  coins  were  m  cir- 
culation, and  the  coinage  had  long  before  ceased, 
(iold  coins  were  not  in  general  circtilation  either: 
but  what  is  more  to  the  point,  and  guite  condtLsive. 
is  that  the  right  and  option  to  coin  silver  dollars  and 
use  them  in  pajTuent  ot  debts  was  at  the  time  un- 
dimini*h*>d.  The  silver  dollar  was  a  lawful  coin,  a 
legal  te-i  f-r.  and  the  tTOvemment.  neither  expressly 
nor  by  nny  implicition.  gave  any  pledge  not  to  re- 
sume it.^  coinage  and  use  it  in  pa>'ment.  ,Ajiy  opinion 
to  the  contrary,  that  it  would  not  be  done,  was  indi- 
vidual men-ly — nothing  but  a  personal  conjecture — 
and  not  binding  on  the  public  authority.  The  law 
itself  was  notice  to  the  world  of  the  continued  ex- 
istence of  the  right,  and  no  one  had  any  ground  to 
presume  that  the  Government  would  not  restore  sil- 
ver to  its  currency  in  lawful  psj-ment  of  Us  obliga- 
tions whenever  considerations  of  public  policy,  which 
are  merely  motives  of  public  interest,  snoijla  incline 
it  HO  to  do. 

There  is  nothing,  then,  to  prevent  the  reatoratiou 
of  the  jiilver  dollar  to  its  place  in  our  currency  as  an 
unlimited  legal  tender,  so  far  as  payment  of  the  pub- 
lii:  creditor  Is  concerned,  except  considerations  of  ex- 
pediency. If  to  do  s>o  would  deprei'late  the  public 
credit,  lower  the  market  value  of  the  4  per  cent, 
bonds,  and  interfere  materially  witli  t  he 
process  of  refunding  the  public  debt  nt 
a  lower  rate  of  interest — in  other  words, 
if  it  shall  appear  to  be  in  the  public  interest 
to  pay  the  principal  and  interest  of  the  bonds  in 
cold,  then,  clearly,  it  oucbt  to  be  done  ;  but  if  we  re- 
monetize  silviT.  we  can  still  pay  our  tjonds  in  gold,  if 
we  are  bound  to  do  so.  or  if.  witliout  an  obligation, 
wo  still  see  fit  to  do  so,  for  any  sufficient  reason  ; 
and  if.  by  remonetizing  silver,  we  make  it  easier  and 
cheaper  to  pay  in  gold,  certainly  those  who  claim  the 
right  to-be  paid  in  gold  have  no  right  to  object.  That 
such  wilt  be  the  efft-rt  is  my  firm  conviction,  and  it 
furnishes  the  controlling  reason  why  we  should  re- 
store to  our  coinage  and  currency  the  silver  dollar  as 
proposed. 

•Tndge  Wcpt  followed  in  a  speech  one 
hour  in  length.  He  paid  his  respects  in 
opening  to  Messrs.  Ewing  and  Pendleton, 
saying  thftt  he  was  ashamed  that  such  speeches 
should  l»«  made  in  Columbus.  If  they 
were  heard  in  a  foreign  land  it  would  be  sup- 
posed that  we  were  a  race  of  paupers  and  bog- 
gars.  In  a  few  well-chosen  sentences  he 
showed  that  the  trouble  was  not  that  we  have 
not  enough  paper  money.  Wnt  that  the  general 
market  is  poor.  He  showeiK^that  the  close  of 
every  war  was  followed  by  just  such  a  crisis  as 
now  ezi.<<ts.  He  asked  if  "Washington  was  to 
blame  because  the  merchant  prince,  Robert 
Morris,  was  placed  in  a  debtor's  cell  at  the  close 
of  the  Revolution,  or  if  the  honored  Presidents 
following  the  war  of  1812  were  to  be  blamed 
because  times  were  hard.  Neither  should  our 
Government  now  receive  censure.  Ho  spoke 
for  about  one  hour,  when  he  was  obliged  to  de- 
part hastily*  to  deliver  an  evening  speech  iu 
Marietta.  At  the  close  of  his  speech  Judge 
"Westwa"*  heartily  applauded. 

Gen.  Garfield  was  next  introduced,  and  spoke 

in  substance  aa  follows : 

Mr.  Chaieman  anu  FKiiLOw-rmzENB  :  We  be- 
gin this  campaign  amid  a  most  nntisual  conflict  of 
narties  and  opinions,  but  our  chief  antagonist  is  the 
SMue  we  have  ao  often  vanquished.  For  20  years 
the  Democrntii:  Party  has  an  advantage  overall  its 
opponents  from  the  fact  of  taking  the  negative. 
Every  great  substantive  doctrine  of  public  policy 
advauced  by  that  party  for  20  years  has  been  at 
length  repxidlated  even  by  tliemselves.  One  thing 
only  they  affirm — that  they  should  be  trusted  with 

?ower.  On  ail  the  leading -topics  of  the  -day  the 
temocmcy  are  reckless  and  inconsistent.  The  same 
■party  that  in  187*2  declared  that  a  speedy  resump- 
tion of  specie  payments  is  demanded  alike  by  the 
Idghest  considerations  of  commercial  morality 
and  honest  government  now  demands,  with- 
out shame,  the  immediate  repeal  of  the 
Resumption  act.  When  greenbacks  were 
needed  to  sustain  ttie  Government  in  putting  down 
the  rebellion  the  Democracy  denounced  them  as  un- 
constitutional. During  all  those  years,  when  the 
greenback  was  necessary  to  the  national  life,  it  was  an 
offense  tp  the  Democracy.  Now  they  favor  its  reten- 
tion as  the  best  money  we  ever  had.  Such  absurdi- 
ties can  only  be  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  the 
Democracy  has  no  principle  left  except  to  assault  tho 
KepubUcan  Party  and  catch  the  popiuio:  breeze.  Not 
only  has  every  effort  to  keep  national  faith  been 
bUjckaded  by  the  Democracy,  but,  worst  of  all,  they 
have  attempted  to  make  party  capital  out  of  public 
distress  by  pretending  that  the  eflforts  of  the  Govern- 
ment to  improve  the  currency  are  injurious  to  busi- 
ness and  laboring  men.  The  fact  is  that  depreciated 
paper  has  done  more  to  destroy  the  business  and  in- 
jure the  prosperity  of  the  cotmtrr  than  all  other 
causes  over  which  the  Government  has  any  coniroL 
In  closing  his  discussion  of  this  question, Gen. 
Garfield  said : 

I  know  of  no  better  statement  of  this  whole  ques- 
tion than  that  which  was  made  by  Gov.  Hayes  in  his 
letter  addressed  to  me  on  the  4th  of  March,  1876, 
in  which  he  aayc :  "  We  are  tn  soch  a  oonditicm  that 
fixnmess  and  adherence  topnneiple  are  of  peeotUr 
tkIub  just  now.  I  would  consent  to  no  backward 
steps.  To  yield  or  compzomiae  Is  weakness,  and  will 
.destrortu.    It  a  better zstamptioii  measnrecaabe 


'  substituted  for  the  present  one,  that  may  be,  but  we 
can  better  afford  to  tm  beaten  than  to  back  o  nt." 

He  then  discussed  the  silver  question  at 
length,  and  traced  the  history  of  ttie  variotia 
adjustments  of  gold  and  silver.  He  aaid  that 
from  1792  to  1834,  the  ratio  of  15  to  1  drove 
gold  coin  out  of  circulation.  The  act  of  1834 
was  an  error  in  the  opposite  direction  and 
wholly  expelled  the  silver  dollar.  The  advo- 
cates of  bimetalism  nelieve  it  possible  so  to  ad- 
just the  ratio  as  to  retain  both  in  circulation  as 
legal  tender,  and  so  are  willing  to  try  the  ex- 
periment, if  it  can  be  done  by  a  general  agree- 
ment amon^  bimetallic  nations,  or  if  silver  is 
issued  to  a  limited  amount  to  take  the  place  of 
the  one  and  two  dollar  notes ;  but  he  opposed 
any  scheme  which  would  inflate 'the  currency, 
defeat  resumption,  or  cripple  the  public  credit. 
He  opposed  any  scheme  wnich  would  drive  out 
gold  and  leave  only  silver  in  circulation. 

In  regard  to  the  Southern  ouestion,  he  said 
it  is  useless  to  dispute  about  things  which  have 
been  irrevocably  settled,^  except  as  their  settle- 
ment has  affected  the  honor  of  the  parties  con- 
cerned. Some  worthy  Republicans  charge  that 
President  Hayes  made  a  bargain  by  which  he 
surrendered  the  Southern  Republicans  to  secure 
his  own  nomination.  Were  this  true  it  would 
be  in  the  last  degree  dishonorable.  With  full 
opportunities  for  knowing  the  facta,  I  deny  that 
President  Hayes  ever  made  or  authorized  such 
a  bargain,  which  would  have  been  dishonorable 
alike  to  him  and  the  Southern  Democrats,  who 
resisted  filibtistering  in  the  late  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives. The  country  owes  them  a  debt  of 
gratitude  for  preventing  chaos,  and,  per- 
haps, civil  war,  despite  the  Northern 
Democratic  leaders.  He  advocated  civil 
service  reform,  first  in  regard  to 
the  tenure  of  office,  which  should  depend  upon 
the  faithful  discharge  of  duty ;  second,  in  free- 
ing the  appointing  pow5T"~fw?m  CongreRsional 
control.  The  President  should  be  supported  in 
his  eflTorts  in  this  direction,  though  he  may  have 
gone  too  far  in  depriving  citizens  who  hold 
office  of  participation  in  nominating  conven- 
tions within  their  own  precincts.  He  regarded 
the  recent  strikes  as  a  symptom  of  the  greatest 
danger  that  ever  threatened  the  nation.  The 
danger  was  aggravated  by  the  railway  problem. 
Ho  quoted  Lord  Macaulay's  letter  of  1857,  pre- 
dicting the  downfall  of  the  United  States  from 
mob  violence.  ^>ur  only  answer  is  enforcement 
of  the  law  against  all  mobs,  everywhere,  by  all 
the  power  of  the  States  and  nation,  and  the  as- 
sertion of  the  right  of  every  man  to  acquire 
propertj'  and  to  keep  it  when  acquired.  Ho 
would  make  no  compromise  with  communism, 
but  demand  for  both  labor  and  capital  just  pro- 
tection of  law.  

A  PROTECTIVE  LABOR  PARTY. 

Philadelphia,  Penn. ,  Aug.  25- — The 
working  men  of  this  city  met  this  evening  at 
Caledonian  Hall  and  organized  under  the  name 
of  the  Protective  Labor  Party.  W^illiam  B. 
Eckert  presided.  A  platform  was  adopted 
indorsing  the  Eight-hour  law.  the  equalization 
of  taxes,  compulsory  education,  and  a  liberal 
application  of  funds  for  that  purpose ; 
and  condemning  the  -^employment  of  prison 
labor  by  private  persons,  manual  labor  in  fac- 
tories by  children  under  14  years,  and  all 
laws  making  it  conspiracy  for  laboring 
men  to  combine  for  their  own  protection. 
A  committee  of  seven  was  appointea  to  confer 
with  the  other  labor  organizations  now  in  ses-

The  following  dispatch  has  Jost  been  received  from 
Gen.  Ord.  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  the  converaatiou 
reported  In  it  is  entitled  to  but  little  importance. 
The  reply  of  the  Governor  of  Texas  to  Gen,  Ord's

Sax  Ai^TOSlo,  Texas,  Atig.  *JL 

The  following  has  been  received  from  Capt.  Brown : 
Gen.  Benavides  handed  me  yesterday  the  following 
message,  to  be  transmitted  to  j'ou  : 

I'ol.  Gomez,  commanding  at  Caraargo.  commuui- 
c"o^s  the  following  telegram.  In  au  iuter\iow  I 
had  with  the  commanding  officer  of  the  State  Volun- 
teers, who  have  arrived  at  Klo  Ohrande  City,  he  in- 
formed me  that  he  had  received  orders  from  tho 
Governor  of  Texas  to  pursue  and  arrest  criminals 
wherever  they  may  be  found,  even  though  it  be  on 
Mexican  soil,  in  case  they  are  not  promptly  delivered 
up  by  the  authorities.  I  haro  answered  liim . 
1  have  orders  to  pursue  and  arrest  all  persons  who 
mav  commit  depredations  on  United  States  territory 
and  afterward  take  refuge  upon  Mexican  boU  :  that 
relative  to  deliverinc  them  up  I  shall  confine  myself 
strictly  to  the  orders  I  received  from  head-quar- 
ters. I  also  notify  head -quarters  that  there  are 
at  present  organizing  In  Texas,  according  to  the 
statement  of  said  commander,  25,000  voltmteers 
for  the  campaign  against  Mexico.  Escobedo,  his 
sons,  and  San  Alomoyare  still  in  Davis.  I  beg.  Gen- 
eral, to  caU  your  attention  to  tbe  aforesaid  asser- 
tions of  the  commanding  officer  of  the  State  volun- 
teers In  his  conversation  with  CoL  Gomez. 

GEN.  BKKEVIDES. 

I  telegraphed  at  once  to  Gov.  Hubbard  your  letter, 
with  Capt.  Hall's.  My  advices  do  not  agree  with  the 
latter'H.  My  orders  prohibit  the  crossing  on  tho 
trails  after  any  sort  of  raiders  where  there  are  Mexl- 
cen  troops  to  arrest  or  pursue  such.  Benavides 
telegraphs  that  H^l  proposes  to  cross  at  Camargo, 
and  says  ho  is  authorized  by  orders  from  you  to 
pursue  and  arrest  -  all  criminals  wherever  they 
may  be  found,  even  on  Mexican  soil.  If  this  is  so, 
and  he  crosses,  unless  my  orders  are  changed,  be  will 
cross  without  aid  from  regulars.  Hall,  also,  accord- 
ing to  my  ad\-ices,  stated  to  CoL  Gomez  that  there 
are  25,000  volunteers  organized  In  Texas  for  a  cam- 
paign against  Mexico.  Such  talk,  if  reported  cor- 
rectly, is  likely  to  stop  efforts  on  the  part  of  the 
Mexican  authorities  to  capture  and  return  the  res- 
cued prisoners  under  the  extradition  treaty.

INDIANS   IN  THE  BLACK  HILLS. 

Dkadwood,  Dakota,  Aug.  25. — The  party 
of  25  persons  who  loft  here  about  two  weeks 
ago  for  the  Little  Missouri  River  returned  to- 
day. They  report  that  on  last  Tuesday  after- 
noon the  party  discovered"  Indians  close  to 
them ;  that  they ,  selected  high  ground 
and  dug  rifle  pita,  and  that  while  en- 
gaged in  this  work  nearly  500  Indians  ap- 
peared on  the  bluff  opposite,  about 
400  yards  off,  and  opened  fire  on  them.  The 
fight  la.sted  about  four  hours.  Thomas  H. 
Carr,  Quartz  Recorder  of  the  Deadwood  Mining 
District,  was  shot  through  tho  head  and  killed. 
Twenty-seven  horses  belonging  to  the  miners 
were  also  killed.  After  dark  the  Indians  with- 
drew, and  tho  miners  escaped,  being  compelled 
to  walk  150  miles  to  reach  this  city.

Boston,  Aug.  25.— Bagnall  &  Loud,  deal- 
ers in  block  and  tackle  fixtures  at  No.  139  Ful- 
ton-street, were  this  afternoon  robbed  of 
$29,200.  Two  men  entered  the  store  when  the 
salesmen  all  chanced  to  be  engaged, 
walked  back  to  the  counting  room,  and 
after  conversing  with  the  junior  member 
of  tne  firm  a  short  time,^  asked  to  be 
shown  something  in  front  of  the  store.  During 
his  absence,  it  is  supposed,  a  con- 
federate entered  by  a  nde  door,  near 
the  countine-room,  and  rifled  the  safe 
of  $1,200  in  money,  and  notes,  mort- 
gages, &c,  valued  at  $28,000.  The  robbery 
vf&s  not  discovered  until  the  men  had  l>een  gone 
half  an  hour.

A  GREAT  BRIDGE  BLOWN  DOWN 


TEBKIBLE4CYCL0NEIKTHE   MISSOURI  VALLEY 
•      — TWO    SPANS     OP     THE     UNION    PACIFIC 
RAILROAD       BRIDGE       CARRIED      AWAY — 
TRAVEL  INTERRDPTED. 

SpecttU  Dltpakh  to  the  yew-  York  7%me*. 

Omaha,  Neb.,  Aug.  25.— A  tornado  or 
cyclone  passed  down  the  river  at  5:30  this 
morning,  and  destroyed  nearly  one-fifth  of  the 
Union  Pacific  Railroad  Bridg^.  The  storm,  was 
one  of  the  most  severe  that  has  visited  this  sec- 
tion in  years.  It  is  stated  by  one  or  two 
of  the  railroad  employes  who  witnessed  the  fall 
of  the  two  spans  that  the  storm-cloud  came 
from  the  north-east  and  traversed  the  surface  of 
the  river  for  some  distance,  fairly  dividing  the 
water  in  its  course,  and  piling  it  up 
in  solid  walls  on  either  .«side  of  its  track. 
Just  before  the  bridge  was  struck  the  wind  sud- 
denly shifted  from  north-west,  and  almost  in- 
stantly following  the  disaster  it  was  followed 
with  rain  and  hail.  A  night  watchman,  who 
was  in  his  house  at  the  Iowa  end 
of  the  bridge,  went  down  with  the 
shore         span,  and  was  for  half 

an  hour  or  more  pinned  down  by  the  twisted 
and  shattered  wreck.  On  extricating  himself 
he  started  in  a  small  boat  and  made  his  way  to 
tho  Nebraska  side,  to  ^ve  the  alarm,  as 
the  telegraphic  communication  had  been 
broken  by  the  fall  of  the  bridge. 
He  arrived  at  the  train  dispatcher's 
office  in  time  to  prevent  the  5:10  A.  M.  train 
from  going  upon  the  bridge.  This  man  is  of 
the  opinion  that  the  bridge  was  struck  by  light- 
ning, as  he  says  he  saw  it  when  it  went  down, 
and  that  it  was  one  sheet  of  flame.  The 
leading  electricians  here  do  not  believe; 
this  as  they  say  tbe  columns,  which  reached  far 
into  the  water,  were  most  excellent  con- 
ductors of  electricity.  One  of  the  spans 
fell  into  the  water  while  the  shore  end 
was  scattered  about  the  southern  embank- 
ment like  an  over-turned  rail-fence.  The 
southern  rail  along  the  entire  length 
of  the  bridge  left  standing  was  drawn  with  the 
fallen  spans  into  the  river,  while  the  north  rail 
was  twisted  and  bent  out  of  shape.  There  is  no 
boat  here  by  which  passengers  and  freight 
can  bo  transferred  across  the  river,  and 
th  ey  wi  1 1  be  o  bliged  to  go  by 
way  of  Plattsmouth  and  the  Missouri  Valley 
Railroad.  General  Superintendent  (lark  ar- 
rived here  from  the  East  this  luomingby  way  of 
Plattsmouth,  and  began  at  once  the  task  of  re- 
establishing telegraphic  communication.  This 
done,  he  telegraphed  Eastern  bridge 
builders  for  the  cost  of  a  wooden  truss 
for  a  temporary  bridge,  and  al.v»  of 
iron  work  for  a  permanent  structure.  It  will 
probably  take  all  of  three  months  to  replace  the 
destroyed  spans.  In  the  meantime,  it  will  be  a 
severe  blow,  not  only  to  tho  bu-sinpss  men  of 
Omaha,  but  of  the  entire  Missouri  country.. 
The  loss  is  estimated  at  $350,000.  "   '

THE  WIND  BLOWS  A  TRAIN  FROM  THE  TRACK 
ON  THE  NEW-LONDON  AND  NORTHERN 
ROAD — SEVERAL  TRAIN  HANDS  GO  DOWN 
WITH  THE  WRECK. 

'Speddl  Diepatch  to  the  yeto-  Tork  Timta. 

New-London,  Conn.^  Aug.  25. — A 
violent  rain-storm,  which  began  in  the 
north-east  and  gradually  veered  to  south- 
west, set  in  here  this  evening,  and 
during  its  continuance  badly  washed  the 
road-bed  of  the  New-London  and  Northern 
Railroad,  between  this  city  and  Norwich. 
One  wash-out  was  a  short  distance 
below  Norwich,  and  the  other  two  at 
Thome\'ille  and  Mohegan,  the  latter  place 
a  flag  station  about  eight  miles  north  of  New-. 
London.  As  the  northward  bound  accommoda- 
tion train,  which  leaves  horeat  8  o'clock  thtse ven- 
ing,  was  within  a  quarter  of  a  mile  of  Mohegan, 
it  came  suddenly  upon  the  wash-out.  The  engine, 
tender,  and  baggage-car  were  precipitated  into» 
the  River  Thames,  along  the  bank  of  which  the 
track  runs.  The  two  passenger  cars  of  the  train 
remained  on  the  track,  and  escaped  injury  to » 
themselves  and  inmates.  1 

Engineer  William  Ricker,    Piremau  Herbert 
Beebe,  Baggage-Master  Nathaniel  Palmer,  and 
Train  Inspector  John  Nolan  went  down  with  the- 
wreck.     All    are    verj-    badly    hurt,  but  in  the  * 
excitement  attending  the  affair  it  is  impossible  to 
learn  the  extent  of  their  injuries.    They  are 
said,     however,    to  be   fatal  ones,     except      in"* 
the     case     Of      Nolan.        who       escaped    withr- 
broken    legs.    A    wrecking    train    with    sev-  ^ 
eral    surgeons    was    dispatched    to  the    scene  b 
of  the  accident  at  1 1:15  this  evening.    TheNor- 
wich  and  AVorcester  freight  train  is  prevented 
from      reaching     this     city     by     tne    wash-i 
out     at    Thamesville.        At      11:30      o'clock/ 
the      steamer     Citv      of       Boston,      of      the 
Norwich      and       New- York       Transportation 
Line,  was  sent  up  the  Thames  River  to  AUen's 
Point,  where   it  will    take   on   the   freight  and 
passengers  of  both  trains,  carrying  those  going 
north  to  Norwich,  and  bringing  the  others  to 
New-London  here.     So  far  rain  ceased  at  mid- 
night ;  fall,  two  inches. 

Later. — Dispatches  from  the  scene  of  the 
accident  state  that  Alichacl  Curley,  baggage 
master,  is  also  seriously  hurt,  Eleebe,  the  fire- 
man, is  badly  scalded.  The  obstructions  at 
Thamesville  are  now  overcome,  and  the  Brattle-' 
boro  train  due  here  at  0:30  P.  M.  has  reached 
the  wreck  at  Mohegan  and  transferred  the  lat- 
tor's  passengers  to  its  own  train,  and  will  carry: 
them  to  Norwich. 


A  COLLISION  OFF  ROCKY  POINT. 


THE  EXCURSION  STEAMER  STEWART  AND

SUNK — ^NARROW  ESCAPE  OP  THE  PASSEN- 
GERS. 

Special  Dispatch  to  the  yeiD-Tork  Times. 

Highlands,  N.  J.,  Aug.  25. —A  collision 
occurred  at  10:30  o'clock  this  evening  between 
the  excursion  steamer  T,  Stewart  and  the  pleas- 
ure yacht  Kate,  by  which  a  large  niunber 
of  persons  narrowly  escaped  drowning. 
The  Stewart,  commanded  by  Capt. 
Greenfield,  left  the  Highlands  with  a 
large  pleasure  x*''''*ty  Rud  steamed  up  the 
Shrewsbury  River  toward  Seabright.  The 
Kate  also  had  on  board  a  party  of 
pleasure-seekers  from  Seabright,  and  was 
making  her  way  toward  the  High- 
lands. At  Rocky  Point,  about  midway  between 
the  two  places,  tlio  Stewart  ran  into  the  Kate  aa 
the  latter  was  rounding  the  point.  The  shock 
was  a  severe  one,  and  the.  merrymaking 
excursionists  of  a  moment  before  became  panic- 
stricken.  Numbers  jumped  overboard  from  tho 
Stewart  through  fear,  while  the  entire  party 
numbering  some  17  persons,  on  board  the 
Kate  were  compelled  to  leave  her,  as  she 
sank  in  a  few  minutes  after  being 
struck.  Heart-rending  screams  from  the. 
affrighted  f»eople  were  heard  on  shore,  and, 
small  boats  rapidly  put  out  to  the  rescue. ' 
Their  assistance  was,  however,  not  needed. 
The  passengers  on  the  Stewart  who  had 
recovered  their  composure  lent  their 
aid  to  those  in  the  water  and  dragged  them 
up  the  sides  of  the  vesseL  In  a  very 
few  moments  all  were  safely  on  board 
the  Stewart,  and  the  party  from  Sea- 
bright taken  home.  The  Stewart  afterward 
returned  to  the  Highlamls,  It  is^  impossible  to 
get  a  reliable  account  of  how  the  collision  occur- 
red, as  the  parties  on  each  boat  claim  the  other  to 
be  in  the  wrong.  Whistles,  they  sav.  were 
properly  sounded  from  the  Stewart,  but  not 
heard  on  board  the  Kate,  which,  it  is  said,  car- 
ried no  light

at         noon.        but        at         1  o'clock        wasi 

worse    and    very    low,  .      Since      then    noth* 
ing     has      been      received     from      Richmond,^

city  by  all  classes,    Inquiiies  are  made  by  every,' 
one.  and  all  unite  in  cxpnwsions'of  sympathy' 
and  hope  for  his  recovery.      A  gentleman  who 
left  Richmond  at  10  A,  M.  says  the  Senator  re- 
cognizes the  fact  that  his  end  is  close  at  hand, 
and  that  Dr.  Bliss  has  givejj  up  all  hope.     He 
says  the   Senator  may  survive   a  week  longer 
possibly,  but  this  is  very  doubtful.

Richmond,  Ind.,  Aug.  25. — Senator  Morton 
slept  quietly  from  3  to  5  o'clock  this  afternoon,, 
awoke  reft^hed,  and  had  the  papers  read  to- 
him.  Dr.  Bliss  says  his  system  is  entirely  free 
from  the  opiates  which  had » previously, 
V>een  administered  to  him,  and  that ; 
his  condition  is  more  favorable.  Th»( 
alarming  symptoms  of  last  night  and* 
this  morning  resulted  from  thoracic  effusion, 
which  his  physicians  claim  has.- been  checked.; 
At  this  hour  (i>  o'clock  P.  M.)  his  physicians,, 
family,  and  friends  are  sanguine  of  his  7*e- 
coverv,  in  which  opinion  the  Senator  concurs. 
Those  not  so  wijl  informed  of  the  Senator's 
condition  fear  alarming  symptoms  during  the 
night. 

IIP.  M. — Senator  Morton  has  just  been 
moved  from  his  couch  to  an  easy-chair,  and' 
seems  to  rest  easily.  Dr.  Bliss. :saya  he  cannoti^ 
see  how  the  pain  can  recur. 


THE  GREAT  senator's  WONDERFUL  INDUSTRY 
AND     REMAP.KABLE    ACHIEVEMENTS — HIS 
SERVICES  IN  BEHALF  OP  THE  SOUTH. 
Correspondence  of  the  St.  Panl  (M^tnn.)  I'inncer  Prrx*. 

Washingtok,  Aug.  ir». — Those  who  bate 
known  .Senator  Morton's  ni.^iiner  of  life,  especially 
for  the  last  two  years,  are  not  sxirprl*M^  that  over 
tasked  nature  has  enforced  a  rest.  His  work  Uac 
simply  been  liert-ulean.  He  has  been  a  miracle  of 
industry  and  a  wonder  to  his  associates.  How  a  man 
unable  to  take  physical  exercise  coiUd  accorapliKh  s*^ 
mucti  mental  labor  1  never  could  nndersiand. 
Nature  had  been  liberal  to  him.  Before  his  Sr<6 
illness  he  was  one  of  the  rugcedi-st  of  all  onr 
public  men,  especially  put  up  for  work  and  en- 
durance. Endowed  '  with  a  roomy  brain,  his 
mental  machinery  worited  ea<iily,  and  his  tenacious 
memory  enabled  him  at  will  to  use  the  accumulations 
of  his  past  studies  and  experience.  He  was  alsc— 
favored  with  a  temperament  the  verj-  reverse  <<J 
sluggish,  yet  without  that  wearing  of  self  belomcin^ 
to  the  nervous  organization.  In  his  manly  prime, 
in  those  glorious  days  of  the  war  when  he  was  hold- 
ing the  copperhead  by  the  throat  tliat  it  might  not 
stin£r  Indiana  into  tbe  Confederacy,  iie  was  an  almost 
perfect  specimen  of  the  getiujt  homo,  and  those  who 
have  only  known  him  for  a  few  years  and  have 
stood  in  wonder  at  the  work  of  tlfose  years,  liav& 
been  informed  bv  his  early  friends  that  that  work 
was  rest  and  relaxation  compared  to  the  toil  nu J. 
labors  of  1861  to  1SG5. 

For  the  past  four  years  he  lias  been  Consressman- 
at-Large  for  the  entire  Soutii.  As  State  after  .Stat« 
slipped  away  from  the  Republican  Pai'ty,  as  their 
carpet-bag  representatives  graduaUy  and 'rt?rtaiiily 
lost  their  influence,  all  fixed  their  hopes  on  M«»rton, 
and  especially  when  he  was  jiresented  as  a  candidate 
for  the  Residential  nomination.  Not  only  wan  he- 
consulted  upon  all  political  questions,  and  his  co- 
operation made  a  «iii«  qua  non  for  any  hope  of  j.ue- 
cess,  but  his  mails  wen*  burdened  with  request* 
for  his  aid  in  trivial  matters.  One  day  1  w»»* 
in  his  room  and  his  private  secretary  showed 
me  a  letter  containing  money,  nsjuesting  lh« 
Senator  to  secure  the  writer  a  desired  patent.  That 
was  a  specimen  of  hundreda  of  letters  received  from 
the  South.  Accepting  the  btirdens  of  his  enlar?:ed 
constituency,  he  increased  his  number  of  clerk*: 
nntil  his  commit  tee- room  became  known  as  a  sub- 
S>enate.  For  tne  last  two  years  his  l»roiher-in-law, 
ex-Gov.  J.  P.  Burbank,  has  served  him  as  his  private 
secretary.  Genial,  active,  intelligent,  cool,  with  au 
IndianUku's  capacity  for  hard  labor,  without  .Sena- 
torial cares  and  responsibilities,  yet  his  labors  wer« 
excessive  enough  to  crush  out  an  ordinary-  man.  Uy 
this  you  can  judge  of  tbe  weight  of  Morton's  btti> 
dens! 

His  failure  to  secure  the  nomination  at  Cineinnat' 
did  not  lessen  his  labor.  With  a  passionate  love  fui 
the  Republican  Party,  whose^  ser\*ices  he  deeme*i  al- 
lied to  the  best  welfare  of  his  ccnutitry  and  the  lie>4 
hopos  of  his  race,  his  defeat  at  Cincinnati  may  have 
created  a  momentar>'  sadness,  but  left  no  dei>obit  oi 
bitterness  in  his  heart.  Of  cotirse.  he  greatly  dettirac 
to  be  President.  He  knew  he  was  folly  compeleul 
therefor,  and  firmlv  believed  tliat  in  that  jKwitinn 
he  conld  secure  tbe  happiness  of  both  races.  Thouzh 
he  did  not  receive  150  votes,  yet  he  and  his  frienfls 
knew  that  he  was  verj'  n«ar  the  nomination.  It  wms 
expected  Blaine's  defeat  would  be  manifested  hy 
the  third  ballot.  Had  tliat  been  so.  enough  uf  hi  / 
scattering  forces  would  havegone  to  work  to  ma  Is' 
him  the  leadingcandidate.  Theunexpe<:ted  oohosi  iui 
of  the  Blaine  men  made  Hayes  a  necessity. 

Perchance  he  could  not  have  been  elcnrted.  I  t^.lnlci 
he  could,  for  while  he  ctmld  7>ot  carry  the  p*  vutai,' 
State  of  Indiana  for  Haves,  he  could  have  carried  It 
for  Morton,  and  tho  pnj>)abiUty  of  his  election  would) 
have  so  paral\"/.Hi  the  rebels  of  the  South  that  Flor- 
ida. South  C:.*iuiiDa,  and  booisiana  wotild  have  been 
urdoubii-dly  won,  and  North  Carolina  would  have 
put  its  seal  to  victory.  His  sanguine  soul  oonld  have 
seen  no  such  perchance.  But  how  little  he  acted  like 
a  d*^ft;ated  candidate  f  Removing  tbe  real  treueralis- 
simo  of  the  Southern  wine,  in  the  mid^t  of  the 
•  heated  season,"  we  find  him  rushing  home  with 
the  single  purpose  of  putting  Indiana  in  line 
of  battle,  and  the  intensity  of  that  campaign — 
surpassing  oven  his  marvelous  campaign  of  1  S<>4 — in 
a  proud  montunent  of  his  unselfish  devotion  to  tha 
principles  of  that  party,  which  to  him  was  a  syno- 
myn  oi  country,  Jnrtlce,  and  freedom.  Had  Conlc- 
ling,  who  had  never  a  ghost  of  a  chaneeof  soccess,' 
been  Morton,  or  Morton  Conkling,  New- York  woald| 
have  been  n»deemed.  If  the  crippled  Morton  had.' 
suddenly  been  stricken  with  oundness,  like  tba 
knight  of  old  he  would  have  been  strapped  to  hia 
boxae.  and  with  his  banner  lifted,  high,  led  by  his 
friends  into  the  battle-field  of  every  coantr  of  th<v 
Empire  State.  Unlike  Conkling,  ho  would  faava

Fnmtm  Ocea^auU  Oorrmondent 
Caiko,  Egypt,  Sunday,  July  29,  1877. 
The  native  population  of  Cairo  is  so  orderly 
that  there  have  been  no  fears  smong  Intelligent 
foreigners  of  a  Mohaznmedan  ^ente  m  the  city. 
However,  last  evening  illustrated  hvw  readily 
Mossuhnan  fanaticism  may  be  inflamed.  Three' 
emissaries,  (^eiks,)  who 'had  quietly  arrived 
from  Constantinople,  made  their  appearance  in 
the  Hoosky— the  principal  business  street  of  the 
Arab  part  of  the  city — and  began  a  harangue 
among  their  coreligionists.  They  soon  attract- 
ed a  great  crowd,  who  were  not  long  in  taking 
up  the  cry  of  the  Sheiks:  **Long  live  the  Sul- 
tan, and  death  to  the  Christians  l"  The  crowd 
was  increasing  and  the  excitement  spreading 
when  the  Chief  of  Police  appeared  on  the  scene 
with  about  100  9f  hin  force,  the  officers  of 
whom  are  mostly  Italians,  and  arrested  some  of 
the-  principal  di^ttorbers  of  public  order,  and 
sent  them  to  the  zaptish.  It  u  said  that  the 
three  Sheiks  have  been  sent  to  the  Khedive,  at 
Alexandria,  anU  that  on  the  same  day  there  was 
a,  similar  distnrbancd  there.  in  which 
two  Italians  were  killed— the  difficulty 
^TowinfT  out  of  a  discussion  of  the  wax* 
news  of  the  day.  It  is  suggestive  that  on  this 
same  day  a  dispatch  was  indLscreetly  posted  in 
Cairo,  and.  perhaps,  in  Alexandria,  saying  that 
the  foreign  Ministers  at  Constantinople  bad  ad- 
viR^d  their  Governments  to  make  better  pro- 
vision than  exiats  for  the  protection  of  their  re- 
spective subjects,  as  there  were  fears  of  an  out- 
break amous  -tli4j  Mussulman  population. 
Do  fanaticism  and  cowardice  need  fur- 
ther invitation  J  To-day  there  is  bul- 
letinf^d  a  reassuring  Ui^pateh*  purporting  to 
b«  from  Constantinople,  to  the  effect  that  the 
Clemn  desire  all  good  Mussulmans  to  abstain 
from  aotA  of  violence,  as  their  good  conduct  is 
now  on  trial  before  Christian  Europe;  but,  at 
the  same  time,  there  is  a  wild  rumor  flying  the 
rtreets  and  cafes,  believed  by  many  of  the  ap- 
prehensive foreign  population,  that  the  Police 
nad  di.'M'overe<l  :i,0(K)  stand  of  arms  and  quan- 
tities of  ammunition  stowed  away  in  an  eld 
mosque,  near  the  scene  of  the  Cairo  disturbance 
nbovo  referred  to,  Tho  rumor  could  not  be 
Traced  beyond  a  Russian  brain. 

Left  to  themselves,  so  far  from  Constantino- 
ple—the centre  of  excitement — there  would  be 
little  fear  of  any  present  disturbance  by  the 
Mohammedan  population  here.  But,  inter- 
estod  as  wo  are  here  in  the  future,  in  the  real 
proj?res3  of  Eg>Tit.  which,  notwithstanding  it  is 
almost  politically  independent,  is  socially  with 
the  Turks,  mastless  ana  rudderless,  in  the  great 
sfa  of  Mohammedanism,  it  is  useless  to  ask. 
what  effect  will  the  existing  war  have  upon  an 
institution  [haarreem]  common  ^to  Turkey  and 
her  Mohammedan  dependencies  i  and  which 
bears  such  important  relations  ■with  their  future 
welfare,  and  nowhere  supported  with  more  mag- 
niticence  than  in  this  rich  valley  of  the  Nile.  The 
haarreem  looms  up.  front  and  foremost,  as  a 
djTiamic  as  well  as  inertial  power — as  the  Tur- 
kish Empire*s  grreat  evil-gen er»to»,  at  which  all 
prt'^rresMnuistis — all  who  wish  well  of  Egypt — 
should  dre  their  ahafts,  for,  making  some  al- 
If»wance  for  weak  human  nature's  shortcomings 
fverj-where,  it  is  to  this  Institution  and 
Its  mainteuance,  with  all  its  ignorance, 
pitper^titioTi.  envy,  ,  jealously,  and  intrigue, 
That  niav  be  trared  lying,  backsheesh,  black- 
mail, bribery,  forgery,  theft,  and  corruption 
generally,  hi^rh  and  low,  and  exorbitftnt  taxes, 
rruelty  and  murder,  emasculation  and  slavery 
an  I  ail  their  concomitantn.  as  well  as  that  in- 
t#;nsity  of  tanaticism,  now  so  peculiarly  Moham- 
medan, which  the  Sheiks  (with  their  dervishes) 
are  ever  prepared  to  fan,  and  which  is  the 
offspring  o£  that  ignorance  so  sedulously 
maintained  in  tho  haarreem ;  for,  although 
the  first  wife  may  know  something,  generally 
all  of  the  hundreds  who  afterward  enter  the 
tiaarreem  do  so  a3  slaves — coming  from  the 
rery  d»'pths  of  barbarism,  ignorance,  and 
«uperstirion.  And  these  are  the  mothers,  the 
tducators  of  youth,  upon  whom  hang  future 
hope3.  The"  word  haarreem  itself,  if  not 
originally  the  plural  of  hhaar  (hot)  as  cherubim 
is  of  rherub.  certainly  suggest  a  hell  on  earth, 
=u*  we  know  the  institution  Tvith  its  sooty 
5uaMfl.  and,  in  later  time:^  mythologists  may, 
tf  they  do  not  seat'  Pandora  as 
Queen  '  of  the  Haarreem,  at  least, 
irace  some  connection  between  it  and  her  box, 
rr'<in  which  ilowed  so  many  world-lnfiicting 
»vi!s.  They  who  believe  in 'radical  measures 
think  an  exodus  of  the  Agaa — the  Contralto 
Knights  and  Regulatora  of  the  Haarreem — is 
now  in  order.  This,  certainly,  would  destroy 
the  magnificence  and  great  power  for  evil — phy- 
sical, moral,  social,  and  political — of  the  institu- 
tion, which  could  then  exist  only  in  miniature, 
(and  controllable.)  as  it  is  now  among  the 
poorer  cla^s,  and  where  it  is,  partly  as 
an  imitation  and  by  the  sufferance  and  con- 
tis.tency  of  Pashas  and  rulers,  who  themselves 
are  lords  of  great  estabUshments.  Measures  so 
romplete  being  out  of  the  (question,  one's  atten- 
tion is  directed  to  slavery  itself,  for  all  who  are 
connected  with  a  haarreem.  save  the  lord  and 
mlDtrers?,  are  slaves.  Were  the  Khedive's 
engagements  with  other  powers  for 
The  suppression  of  the  slave  trade  folflll- 
i!i|.  the  haarreem  would  doubtlessly  lose  its 
iuSuence  and  power  within  a  generation.  But 
the  trade  continues,  and  this  and  a  future  letter 
eh  all  be  suggestive  of  the  why  and  the  where- 
fore. EiTorts — such  they  are  called — are  made 
%t  either  end  of  the  line  of  trade,  one  to  cut  off 
:ho  supply  and  the  other  to  quench  the  de- 
mand. It  is  to  this  end  of  the  line  that  atten- 
tion is  novr  directed — this  end,  where  a  recent 
United  States  Minister  at  Constantinople,  in  a 
published  dispatch?^  suggested  that  the  para- 
mount efforts  should  be  made  with  anv  expec- 
tation of  immediate  success  ;  it  was  onlv  when 
The  market  was  destroyed  in  places  washed  by 
Lhe  Atlantic  that  the  trade  on  the  West  African 
coast  received  a  deadly  blow. 

Vrhen  all  see  that  haarreems  are  kept  to  their 
full,  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  go  beyond  into 
partiBidao:^  to  show  the  existence  of  th^  trade, 
which  is  only  a  little  less  noisy  and  open,  when 
foreigners  are  near,  than  it  was  a  few  years 
ago.  Still,  it  may  be  stated  that  the  hiuirreems 
or  hundreds  of  slaves,  &c.,  of  the  late  Mafeet- 
ish  (Minister  of  Finance)  were  knocked  down  to 
bidders  in  a  3Iohammedan  assemblage,  and 
that  thousands  of  slaves  have  since  come  down 
tho  river  from  Darfoor  and  elsewhere,  aQ  of 
'nrhom  have  disappeared  in  the  slave  market 
here,  the  heart  of  the  Egyptian  trade.  Not 
onlv  is  there  a  constant  supply  of 
these  bUcks.  but  of  the  more 
valuable  and  lecherons  Abyssinians,  and  even 
of  the  t>eautiful  Circassians  and  Georgians,  who 
Anter  the  establisliments  only  of  the  more 
.  «-KaItbv.  Such  is  the  Kh^ive's  new  and  young 
sviXe-  with  whom  h©  baa  solaced  so  many  of  bis 
trolled hoursduringtherecentmonths.  There, 
up3irttia  banks  of  the  Nile,  in  his  cosy  palace, 
he  hacl  a  retreat  from  the  panicky  news 
of  Consiantinople  and  rumors  of  suo- 
ression  in  Egypt— addres.sed,  as  is  said 
he  was.  in  a  firman  of  the  new  Sultan,  as  Gov- 
pmor-General.  instead  of  by  his  well-worn  and 
hitherto  recognized  title  of  Khedive.  Driven 
by  Rtress  of  hot  weather,  he  has  taken  his  com- 
panionandhlshaarreemandgone,  with  the  heads 
of  Ministries  and  their  haarreems,  to  the  bracing 
sea  air  and  baths  of  Alexandria  and  vicinity — 
the  only  Egyptian  watering-place — ^the  only 
place  to  which  one  can  change  his 
fonntion  during  the  Summer's  heat 
with  any  prospect  of  relief  from  the 
crisping  desert  winds.  Time  being  a  drug  of 
the  country,  absolutely  unavoidable  business 
only  is  now  attended  to,  and  this  with  more 
rhan  the  usual  Paahalic  repulsion  and  leisure, 
Knd  in  keeping  with  his  Instinctive  Ideas  of 
pleasure  and  repose.  ^ .     .     * 

After  this  ramble  is  resumed  the  subject  of 
the  haarreem.  which  is  powerful  not  only  in 
its  hoary  traditions,  but  as  a  graf t  unon,  as  an 
Institution  of,  the  Koran ;  household  slaves, 
limited  by  the  purse  only  as  to  number,  color, 
ng^  or— Sex  I  was  about  to  write,  recogniaed

are  to  the  fsathfnl  inseparable.  Foreini  In- 
fluence has  only  recently  imposed  npon  Egypt 
tribtinals  with  European  ideas  of  justice ;  but 
these  exist  only  that  the  foreign  population 
may  receive  justice  as  it  is  known  in  C-hriaten- 
dom.  Between  native  and  native  the  Code 
Koran  yet  decides. 

But,  you  ask,  with  all  the  professions  which 
are  heard  from  high  quarters  of  a  desire  for  the 
extinction  of  slavery,  is  there  no  municipal  law 
there  aiming  to  destroy,  limit,  or  check  the 
trade — the  demand  f  Yes.  but  for  the  eye  of  the 
foreigner  only !  It  Is  csAb  for  Cerberus.  In 
Cairo,  for  club  the  initiated  read  Monaco,  just 
as  in  enterprising  America,  between  the  letters 
a-p-o-t-h-e-c-a-r-y,  is  read  saloon.  As  already 
huited,  not  only  does  every  Mohammedan  in 
the  country,  from  the  Kh6dive  down,  personally 
disregard  the  law  himself,  in  entering  the 
market  to  keep  the  harreems  fiDed  to  their 
capacity,  but  the  Government,  its  agents,  detec- 
tives, Police,  Shieks,  and  whatnot,  in  fact  every 
man,  woman,  and  child  old  enough  to  distin- 
guish a  Christian,  who  are  of  the  Moham- 
medan persuasion,  and  other  natives, 
too,  seem  to  conspire  to  protect  each 
other  in  this  il!e|^timate.commerce.  They  all 
violate  the  law,  and  stand  or  fall  together. 
Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  Kh^ve 
is  the  chief  of  the  institution,  it  has  been  said 
that  he  desires  it  to  die  with  him,  and  that  the 
Prinoca  shall  now  have  only  one  wife ;  but, 
yotmg  as  the  married  ones  are,  (aged  24,  24, 
and  25.)  they  already  have  their  haarreems, 
^ves,  and,  of  coarse,  concubines.  A  short  time 
ago  an  Egyptiux  in  my  employ  bought  at  public 
sale  a  I>arfour  slave,  a  new  importation, 
paying  for  her  21  napoleons.  In  her  household 
work  she  did  not  attain  the  exacting  Arab  stand- 
ard, so  this  young  man,  in  a  passion,  threat- 
ened her,  and  this  is  more  imprudent  than  a 
beating,  as  it  leaves  marginal  play  for  the  im- 
agination. The  followhig  night  she  disappeared 
with  all  his  wife's  valuable  jewelrv,  which  even 
the  poor  here  often  have  as  heirlooms.  There 
was  no  hesitation  at  all  in  putting  upon  the 
track  all  the  machinery  of  the  Goverfl- 
ment  and  5loh»mmedan  society's  Ig- 
norance and  snperstinon,  in  the  persons  of 
policemen,  Shieks,  soothsayers,  and  old  hags, 
it  is  true  that  he  has  not  vet  captured  her,  but 
the  confidence  with  which  he  commenced  and 
has  continued  the  search  for  a  slave — with 
which  he  divulged  what  one  would  have 
thought  was  his  secret,  is  assuring  enough  that 
the  law  upon  the  subject  is  a  dead  letter.  The 
remedy  is  not  simply  in  having  a  distinct  civil 
as  well  as  church  polity,  for  violators  of  law 
are  not  apt  to  be  it^  sincere  executors.  If, 
then,  there  is  no  hope  that  an  antidote  mav 
emanate,  or  even  can  evolve,  from  the  Church 
itself,  may  it  be  expected  that  this  war  will  im- 
pose any  extraneotis  influences  for  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  cancerous  haarreem,  which  is  eat- 
ing the  vitals  of  this  as  well  as  the  other  de- 
pendencies of  the  Mussulman  Empire  ? 

The  surveys  in  Lower  Egypt,  written  of  In 
my  last  letter,  have  been,  as  then  divined  thev 
would  be.  discontinued.  If.  when  they  ceased, 
they  had  not  already  served  their  purpose,  at 
least  the  fact  was  learned  that  Americans  were 
not  to  be  bribed  in  their  acreage  computations ; 
and  it  was,  perhaps,  thought  that  downright 
starvation  taxes  can  be  more  readily  collected 
without  their  presence — starvation  is  said,  for 
children  of  the  fellaheem  are  often  seen  now 
picking  up  trash  cast  away  for  the  dogs.  Every- 
thing is  taxed,  even  chickens.  The  donkey-boy 
pays,  besides  other  taxes.  $10  tax  for  his  don- 
key, sometimes  exceeding  its  value,  as  the  tax 
upon  land  often  does.  Even  the  little  boot- 
blacks— real  Arabs — who  receive  only  a 
half  cent  for  polishing  a  pair  of  shoes,  are 
taxed,  on  their  occupation,  an  Egyptian  pound 
($5)  a  year.  In  one  of  ti>e  provinces,  where  these 
surveys  have  been  made,  a  body  of  0.50  tilled 
feddans  (acres),  of  ordinary  value,  pavs  $25,000 
yearly  taxetc.  t'pon  all  the  lands  in  that  vicinity 
there'  were  recently  collected  an  additional  .*24 
(about)  per  acre,  as  war  tax  :  but  to  succeed  in 
doing  it  you  may  conceive  the  cruelties  enacted 
over  Lower  Egypt  when  you  hear  that  there 
were  bastinadoed  i^  one  day,  in  a  single  small 
district  within  the  survey  of  one  of  these  officers, 
56  Shieks,  each  of  whom  then  promising 
the  deficient  amount  for  the  morrow,  returned 
to  his  village  and  pursued  a  similar  course  of 
cudgeling  his.  people  with  a  vim  indicative  of 
apprehension  for  his  own  life.  After  the  pro- 
nnetor  sees  bis  only  resotirces  in  a  sale  of  the 
land,  he  even  offers  to  give  itupforthetaxeaand 
abandons  it,  only  to  be  compelled  under  the 
lash  to  return  and  work  the  land  in  the  interest 
of  the  relentless  Govermnent.  Notwithstand- 
ing the  land  tenure  is  hereditary,  the  Govern- 
ment looks  with  no  favor  on  its  | 
transfer  to  foreigners,  from  whom  the  sweep- 
ing taxes  cannot  be  collected — fearin;;  coUu.sion  ' 
to  escape  these  extraordinary  taxes,  such  trans-  j 
fers  are  not  usually  suffered  to  be  made.  Prac-  i 
tically,  the  State  absorbs  everything — propertv, 
time  and  labor,  body  and  soul,  and  it  is  impossi-  i 
ble  for  the  Eg>T)tian,  who  knows  only  Egypt,  to 
escape  the  cruel  exactions.  Canals  are  made 
and  repaired  by  forced  labor  ;  Pashas'  lands  are 
often  thus  eid'tivated  ;  and  the  poor  fellaheen  is 
frequently  held  to  such  work  when  his  own 
crops  are  dying  with  thirst.  His  donkey  and 
his  cow  go  with  him,  and  these  he  must  feed 
while  doing  his  forced  labor,  and  when  done  he 
also  is  required  to  pay  his  share  of  taxes  laid 
ostensibly  to  pay  for  thw  very  work.  One  who 
has  been  a  great  deal  among  the  agrieoltoral 
population  says  that  he  has  about  come  to  the 
conclusion  that  there  are  no  taxes — ^when  tho 
Government  wants  money  the  bastinado  and 
sword  procure  it.  The  fate  of  the  fellaheen  is 
indeed  sad.

TSE  TRANSFUSION  OF  BLOOD. 


THB  WOBST  JAM  OF  WAGOXS  SBEK  ON  THE 
WEST*STDE  FOR  MAKT  TEAES— SZRIOCS 
INTERRUPTION  OP  BCSIKESS. 

There  was  a  sudden  improvement  in  business 
yesterday  on  the  west  side  of  the  City,  from  Canal 
down  to  Liberty-itreet,  and  between  Greenwich- 
street  and  the  river,  which  came  with  soeh  a  rush 
aa  to  somewhat  obatract  itself.  For  several  hours 
doilne  the  mominc  there  teas  a  mass  of  wagons  In 
the  streets  aboat  Washington  Alarket  and  for  two 
blocks  from  the  river  as  for  north  as  Canal-street, 
which  taxed  to  the  nttermost  the  ingenuity  of  police- 
men and  the  drlTem  of  teams  to  break  up  and  dis- 
tribute. It  evldeutly  began  to  form  when  the  mar- 
ket wagons  gathered  early  Friday  night.  They  then 
came  in  ouasunl  numbers,  lining  all  the 
streets  and  lapping  many  of  the  crossings. 
^Vhen  the  grocery  wagons  appeared  yesterday 
momtDg,  they  too  seemed  to  come  in  uu- 
uitual  numbers,  and,  as  iU-luck  trould  have  it, 
there  Keemed  to  be  au  immense  quantity  of  merehan- 
diflo  on  the  move  toward  all  the  freight  depot*,  and 
the  trucks  carrj'inc  it  wion  found  themielves  in  the 
midst  of  an  almost  Immovable  park  of  other  wagonB. 
The  tracks  and  market  wagons  from  the  ferrr-Softts 
abided  to  the  jam,  and  toward  noon,  having  exlated  in 
a  more  or  lew  aggrnTated  form  since  early  morning, 
the  confusion  be<:ame  intense.  Policemen  in  extra 
nomhers  appeared  and  lent  their  aid  and  loud  coun- 
sel to  the  exaapemted  drivers  of  horse  cars  and 
peach  wagont,  but  so  intricate  was  the  mass  of  vehi- 
cles, and  so  slowly  were  tRey  separated  and  reduced 
in  number,  that  it  wan  long  after  2  o'clock  before  the 
■tracts  were  again  in  their  every-day  condition.  The 
blockade  delayed  many  travelers,  causing  them  to 
lose  boats  and  trsdns,  and  greatly  annoyed 
truckmen  who  were  hastening  to  steamers  and 
freight  trains  with  goods  that  demanded  immediate 
dispatch.  The  teams  nearest  the  river  suffered  the 
moflt  delay,  as  on  West-street  there  were  few  spfices 
snJEBrient  to  permit  of  turning  or  releasing  wagons, 
and  they  were  obliged  to  wait  for  hours  until  tho  more 
distant  lines  of  wagons  had  been  reduced  and  brolcen 
up.  Pedestrians  from  and  to  the  ferriea  were  com- 
pelled to  pick  tiieir  way  between  the  close  ranks  of 
wagons  and  street  cars,  assisted, 'where  it  was  poAsi- 
ble  to  extend  a'isistance.  by  policemen,  who  were 
spattered  with  mud  from  head  to  foot.  A  few  slight 
accidents  occurred  in  the  jam,  and  a  ntunher  of  de- 
layed ice-venders  lost  their  stoclc,  which  melted  away 
while  they  waited  for  the  breaking  of  the  blockade.

THREE  BUILDINGS  ENTERED  BT  THtKTES — 
A  FRUITLESS  SEARCH  BT  THE  POLICE. 
At  a  few  minutes  after  10  o'clock  last  night 
Patrolman  Junger,  of  the  Fourteenth  Precinct,  dis- 
eorered  that  the  aide  door  of  Ko.  660  Broadway,  be- 
tween tJpTing  and  Prince  streets,  was  open.  The 
building  la  occupied,  in  its  lower  story,  by  Henry  Fel- 
t«r,  as  a  wholesale  grocery  and  liquor  store,  and 
two  of  the  upper  floors  are  occupied  by  Ben- 
ton &  Kelson  and  J.  Berlin,  dealers  In  straw 
millinery  goods. '  Janger  gave  the  alarm,  summoning 
assistance  from  the  station-house  of  the  Fourteenth 
Precinct,  and,  stationing  a  guard  at  the  door,  throe 
officers  proceeded  to  examine  the  building.  A  mere 
elance  at  the  lower  door  satislled  the  officers  that  it 
had  been  forced  open,  and  another  door  at  the  head 
of  the  ftTKt  flight  of  stnlrs  had  been  rudely  broken 
open  with  a  erowbar.  The  aenttle  leading  to  the  roof 
was  open,  and  on  the  roof  a  hearv  crowbar  and  a 
dark  uintem  were  fouud.  Ko  further  traces  of  the 
burglar  or  burglars  were  found  in  this  building,  and 
thabnUding  No.  558  Broadway,  adjoining,  so  far  as

On  the  teeond  floor  of  No.  556  Broad- 
way, however,  to  which  the  ofHoert  alio

BdCABKABLE  CASK  07  ITS  SnCCt8SFT7L  OPER- 
ATION— ^A  MAN  WHO  WANTS  TO  ^ '  LIVB 
FOE  A  PUBPOBB*'— CBna  AND  ITS  PUN- 
ISHMENT. 
The  substance  of  tK©  testimony  given  by  med- 
ical experts  at  the  inquest  on  Walter  Robert  WH- 
Uami^  whose  death  oocurred  In  June,  consequent 
upon  the  loss  of  four  ounces  of  blood  during  trans- 
fusion, win  be  readily  recalled,  an  account  of  the  ex- 
amliutlon  having  beext-  printed  at  length  In  local 
journals,  and  afterward  extensively  quoted  both  in 
Great  Britain  and  in  this  country.  The  drift  of  this 
testimony  was  to  the  effect  that  the  operation  of 
transfusion  Is  su  exceedingly  hasardons  one,  and 
that  it  should  be  resorted  to  only  In  extreme  cases. 
There  are  a  namber  of  rieka  involred  in  It.  If  the 
blood  becomes  ehiSed  during  transmission.  If  the 
slightest  dot  reaches  iha  receiver's  vein,  or  if  a  par- 
ticle of  air  enters  the  opened  vein  of  ^ther  party, 
instant  death  results.  Accordingly,  the  operation  is 
alwayi  undertaken  reluctantly,  and  its  details  and 
results  are  of  paramount  professional  inttsrest.  It 
was  recently  performed  successfully  in  Williams- 
burg,  under  conditions  that  are  considered  especial- 
ly unfavorable.  The  patient  was  John  Adam  Koh- 
lepp,  of  Ten  Eyck-street,  For  four  yean  he  was  a 
sufferer  from,  eonsumption,  and  for  six  weeks  pre- 
oedlng  the  operatiim  he  had  not  loft  his  bed, 
and  had  become  emaciated  and  listless ;  violent 
tuhercnlosis  had  affected  him ;  his  left  hmg  was 
nearly  eaten  away  ;  and  even  under  strong  doses  of 
morphine  sleep  was  almost  impossible  to  him-  I>r. 
Charles  J.  Stahl,  who  attended  him,  was  persuaded, 
for  reasons  that  will  be  stated,  to  perform  the  opera* 
tlon  of  transfusion  npon  him.  A  volunteer  to  give 
the  blood  was  found  in  the  person  of  Louis  Burk- 
bardt,  of  Stagg-street-^a  strong,  healthy  man.  On 
the  afterxioon  of  July  11  the  parties  met  at  Kohlepp's 
bedside,  and  the  inatmments  having  been  prepared 
and  placed  in  warm  water,  Burkhardt's  arm  was 
bandaged  to  swcH  the  blood-vessels,  and  a  vein 
pricked  with  alance.  Four  ounc-es  of  blood  wore  drawn 
and  emptied  into  a  sraail  porcelain  dish,  where  they 
were  rapidly  beaten  with  a  wisp  prepared  for  the 
purpose,  to  which  the  flbrine  dnug,  leaving  the 
strengthening  properties  of  tho  blood  behind.  This 
residue  was  in  tarn  poured  into  a  glass  vial  attached 
to  one  extremity  of  a  rubber  tube,  the  other  extrem- 
ity of  if^icb  extended  about  three-quarters  of  an  inch 
into  an  air  trap  in  the  form  of  a  glass  globe  set  up- 
right upon  a  stand.  From  the  further  side  of  the 
base  of  the  globe  snotlier  rubber  tube,  whose  con- 
necting #xtTemity  is  at  a  lower  elevation  than  that  of 
the  first  tube,  is  depended,  which  terminates  in  a  hol- 
low needle  similar  to  that  used  in  hypodermic  injec- 
tions. The  instrument  Is  known  as  "Whitehouse'a. 
It  is  k^t  eonstantlj- in  warm  water  dnrint:  the  op- 
oration.  The  biood  passed  through  the  Instmment 
rapidly,  and  was  injected  into  the  patient'K  median 
basilic  veins,  at  the  hollow  of  the  eloow.  Before  the 
operation  b^aan  Kolilepp's  pulse  was  feeblo  and 
accelerated,  but  as  soon  as  the  blood  entered  his 
system  the  pulse  beat  slower  and  fuller,  and  a  gentle 
perspiration  appeared  upon  his  body.  Then  his  fwe 
became  turgid  acd  cong:ej;tive  symptoms  appeared, 
causing  a  temporary  diaeontinuance  of  the  operation. 
After  about 'JOminatea,  the  eongft^tivo  trouolo  hav- 
ing subsided,  tliree  ounces  more  of  blood  were  trans- 
fused. At  tliis  point  Bnrlthardt  complaine*!  of  weak- 
ness nnii  thirst,  but  his  system  was  not  impaired, 
having  previnufilyundercone  frequent  venesection  in 
Germany.  He  rcmaiueu  at  home  for  a  day  to  es- 
cape any  possible  ill  effects  from  the  loss.  Aa  soon  as 
he  quit  the  room  Koh>epp  fell  ARleep,  not  awaking 
for  seven  hoars  ;  he  then  ate  with  aopaient  relish — S* 
thing  he  had  not  done  for  month?,  and  again  fell 
asleep.  On  the  day  following  he  dressed  tilmself, 
but  did  not  venture  beyond  his  room ;  four  days 
later  he  walked  upon  the  street  without  assistaoee- 
On  July  26  a  second  operation  was  performed,  in 
wWch  four  ounces  of  blr>od  were  transfused.  Since 
then  he  has  been  convalescent ;  night  sweats  have 
entirely  left  him ;  he  breathes  easily ;  tho  short, 
hacking  cough  that  attends  the  disease  is  no  longer 
troublesome,  and  for  a  week  psst  he  has  done  several 
hours*  hght  work  daily.  On  Sunday  last  ho  walked 
two.  and  a  half  miles.  The  operation  will  be  again 
repeated  within  a  month  in  the  hope  of  arresting  tho 
diseaiie  bj  riratrization.  it  being  considered  ImpoaTl- 
ble  to  eradicate  it. 

Kohlepp  appears  to  have  a  somewhat  remarkaolo 
history.  During  tho  Schleswig-Holstein  war.  In 
1864,  he  was  a  Sergeant  in  one  of  the  engineer  cori's 
of  the  Prussian  Army.  At  the  siege  of  Duppel, 
which  virtually  ended  the  war,  when  all  the  snperior 
offlcerm  of  the  corps  liad  been  Iciiled  or  disabled,  he 
placed  himself  at  the  head  ot  tho  men,  and  in  {wrsou 
climt>ed  one  of  the  outer  towers  of  the  city  and 
hauled  down  the  Danish  flag.  He  received  a  stroke 
from  a  sabre,  while  in  the  act.  which  barMl  his  skull 
from  the  eye  to  the  top  of  the  head  ;  tlie  cut  was 
fully  eiG:ht  inches  long,  and  an  ugly  srar  yet  remains. 
For  this  act  of  gallantrj'  he  received  the  personal 
thonkA  of  t)ie  General  commnudintg  she  I'rua^ian 
forces,  waa  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Captain  aud 
presented  with  a  medal  of  honor.  It  seems  that 
either  during  the  war  or  soon  after  it  he  and 
three  others  conspired  to  murder  a  certain 
Baron  who  had  provoked  them  by  some 
act  of  tyranny,  and  for  this  purpoite  one  of  them 
made  some  pretext  to  ciiallenge  the  Baron  to  a  duel, 
which  was  accepted,  his  brother,  who  was  one  of  the 
conspirators,  acting  as  his  aecond.  As  the  arconnt 
appears,  the  Baron  was  assassinated,  and  it  was 
siren  out  and  believed  that  lie  fell  in  the  duel.  The 
lour  then  i>ound  themselves  by  a  solemn  oath  to  not 
reveal  the  secret  of  the  murder  for  a  term  of  years, 
and  the  Baron's  brother,  thu,s  aasured  that  the  se- 
cret was  safe,  aconired  possession  of  the  estate  of  the 
deceased.  In  the  course  of  a  year  or  more  he  oier- 
dsed  his  authority  in  such  a  direction 
that  the  three  engaged  with  him  in 
the  murder  quit  the  country  for  safety. 
They  arrived  in  America  In  1867.  Since  then  two 
of  them  have  died,  and  Kohlepp's  life  has  been  pro- 
longed by  the  means  stated.  Dr.  Ptahl  was  per- 
suaded to  attempt  the  operatlt>n  of  transfusion  upon 
him  by  Kohlepp  8  earnest  solicitations  tiiat  his  life 
might  be  prolonged  for  three  years.^ocause  he  "  had 
a  sacred  auty  "  to  perform.  DoeuraenlH  were  also 
suinnltted  to'  Dr.  Stan!  and  a  nnmber  of  the  patient's 
friends  which  satisfied  them  that  his  storv,  as  abovn 
stated,  wan  not  withnnt  foundation.  Kolnlepp  will 
reveal  no  names  or  dates,  but  alleges  that  if  bis  life 
is  spared  he  will  be  able  to  present  eonchiuive 
doctimentary  proofs  to  the  Pnissian  antboriiies 
of  the  murder  and  its  details.  He  seems 
to  ftel  especially  bitter  toward  the  present 
Baron,  whom,  he  denounces  as  a  vtllain  and  a  usurper, 
if  Koiilepp's  account  of  the  fact  of  a  murder  and  of 
bis  participation  in  it  is  true,  bis  ease  is  axnply  illus- 
trative of  earthly  retribution  for  crime.  When  he 
arrived  in  this  country  he  had  a  family,  some  pecu- 
niary means,  and  was  a  robust,  strong  man.  That 
was  10  years  ago.  For  four  vears  he  has  not  oeen 
able  to  do  steady  worlc,  and  during  about  half  of  tjiat 
time  he  has  been  confined  to  his  room.  Besides,  bin 
wife  haa  deserted  him,  and  a  son  recently  decamped 
with  all  the  money  that  had  been  saved. 

A  WXLLXAMSBUltO  JVSTWE  SHADOWED. 
The  affidavits  in  support  of  the  charges 
preferred  against  Justice  Herman  L.  Guck,  of  the 
the  Fifth  District,  Brooklyn,  were  served  on  him 
yesterday.  Some  of  them  are  very  atrong  and 
damaging  in  their  character  if  they  can  bo  sustained, 
and  others  are  in  preparation  which  the  plaintiff, 
3Ir.  James  Myers,  claims  are  still  more  conclusive  as 
evidences  of  hia  malfeasance.  The  main  points 
of  the  complaint  are  that  Justice  Guck 
and  his  son.  W.  A.  Gnck,  wlio  is  a 
lawyer  practicing  in  his  father's  court,  are 
virtuallv  partners  and  share  in  the  business  of  the 
law,  and  thev  have  permitted  a  rumor  to  that  effect 
to  gain  a  wi<5e  circulation  in  order  to  increase  their 
business.  The  instances  cited  in  the  afQdavita 
served  yesterday  are  iUustrations  of  partiality  in 
adjudication  and  of  the  receipt  iu  numerous  histances 
of  fees  and  overcharges  not  allowed  by  tho  laws  of 
the  State.  Justice  Barnard  has  ordered  a  lieariiig  on 
the  second  Monday  In  September,  when  it  is  required 
.that  the  accused  show  cause  why  he  should  not  1  e 
removed  from  office.

DANGERS  OF  THE  FLATF0R3Z. 
As  the  way  express  over  the  Erie  Railway 
passed  Clifton  Station  about  8:15  last  evening,  a 
colored  man  went  ont  on  the  rear  platform  of  tho 
last  car,  and  at  the  sharp  curve  near  "Wea-sel  Cn  ei 
the  eselllation  threw  him  to  the  ground.  A  passen- 
ger gave  the  alarm  and  Conductor  Tenney  at  once 
bathed  his  tnun  to  tho  spot,  and  found 
the  man  lying  between  the  tracks  where  he  fell, 
insenslhle,  his  head  badly  fractured,  and  his  arm 
broken.  He  was  taken  to  Passaic  on  the  trikin,  and 
Dr.  Horrick,  who  was  immediately  summoned,  pro- 
nounced his  case  hopeless.  The  man  died  at  about 
10  o'clock.  His  name  waa  Thomas  Thompson,  a 
basket-maker  by  trade,  24  years  old,  and  he  leaves  a 
wife  and  four  small  children.  Acting  Coroner  James 
A.  Sprout,  who  was  a  passenger  on  the  train,  granted 
a  burial  permit  in  accordance  with  the  facts.

TBOITBLE  THE  STEEPIiE'CHASE. 

SASATOOAf  Ang.  25.— The  weather  to-day 
haa  been  olondy.  and  the  atmotphere  so  terribly  op- 
pressive that  it  beeame  more  of  a  labor  than  pleas- 
ure to  make  the  Journey  to  tho  race-course.  The 
prt^ramme  was  so  attractive,  however,  that  the 
ladies  eoiild  not  resist  the  temptation  offered  them, 
and  consequently  the  grand  stand  presented  a  gay 
anpearauce.  It  was  one  of  the  most  suceessfnl  days 
of  the  meeting,  both  in  point  of  attendance  and  the 
character  of  the  racing.  The  races  were  equally  di- 
vided between -the  favorites  and  the  outsiders. 
Courier,  the  favorite  in  the  first  race,  a  dash  of  one 
mUe,  won  a  victory  for  the  "Western  stable  of  Dixon 
and  "Wimmer,  but  their  representative  in  the  second 
race,  Bradamante,  was  badly  beaten  by  Ijady 
Salyers,  the  most  popular  success  of  the  day.  The 
third  race  occasioned  great  interest,  for .  it  was  re- 
ported that  Bombast  was  quite  lame,  but  as  he  ap- 
peared on  the  track  when  the  race  w»a  called  it  was 
said  that  the  report  waa  gotten  np  for  betting  pur- 
poses. He  was  lame,  however,  and  therefore  ran  a 
wonderful  race.  The  Judges  demanded  his  appear- 
ance to  exanune  him  af  tor  the  day's  racing  was  over, 
and  as  he  was  led  along  his  lameness  was  fully 
shown.  The  steeple -chase,  which  concluded  the 
day's  ^port,  occasioned  the  usual  amount  of  enthu- 
siasm. The  mutual  pools  were  largely  patronized, 
and  paid  on  the  flnt.  race  f^lX  50;  second  race, 
$14  80  ;  thnrd  race,  $25  40  ;  fourth  race,  $8  30. 

THE  RACING  IK  DETAIL^ 

THE   MILE    DASH. 

The  CJonsolation  Purse,  for  beaten  horses, 
commenced  tho  day's  entertainment.  There  were 
eight  entries,  and  six  of  them  sported  colors  when 
called  upon.  These  were  Medinger's  First  Chance ; 
McDanieVs  Sister  of  Mercy  and  Glen  Athol  filly; 
Bowie's  ilarv ;  Dixon  &  Wimmer's  Courier,  and  J. 
VT.  Crawford's  Dan  K.  Although  Courier  and  Dan 
K.  sold  for  even  money  yesterday^  there  was  con- 
siderable pluuginfc  on  the  former  before  the 
start,  -  and  he  became  a  firm  favorite  at 
$150,  ^^Dan  K.  selling  for  $90,  Mary  $ft7. 
McDnniers^pnir  $G0  and  First  Chaace  $31.  There 
was  considerable  delay  in  petting  them  off.  but  finally 
the  flag  fell  on  tho  fifth  attempt,  and  the  Glen  Athol 
filly  shot  to  the  front,  closely  followed  by  Mary,  then 
twister  of  Mercy,  with  First  Chsiv-  and  Courier  to- 
gether and  I>an  K.  moving  off  »!<•  '■  ~  the  rear.  Aa 
they  went  round  the  turn  Courit—  —^  the  aecond 
pUwe  f rom  Mary,  aud  tho  latter  v*'"'''  *^***o  passed  by 
Sister  of  Mercy.  The  Glen  Athol  9^y  made  the  work 
vciy  rapid,  and  when  the  quarter  pole  was  reached 
iibe  waa  a  length  and  a  half  in  advance  of 
Cotirior,  who  was  a  length  ahead  of  .Sister  of  Mercy 
and  Mary,  running  head  and  head  with  First  Chance 
a  length  and  a  half  behind  them  and  Dan  K.  six 
lenjcths  in  the  rear.  A»  they  went  along  the  back 
•tretch  the  Glen  Albol  filly  continued  to  cut  out  tho 
work  and  Courier  still  held  tho  second  plaep,  but 
.^ister  of  Mercy  had  parted  company  with  Mary  and 
was  at  Courier's  saddle-girth.  When  they  reached 
the  half-mile  pole  the  Glen  Athol  flUy  was  leading 
only  a  length,  Imt  when  they  came  round  the  lower 
turn  BpUlmaa  aet  sister  of  Mercy  going 
and  she  parsed  both  Courier  and  her  stable  compan- 
ion, and  assumed  the-  lead  by  a  length.  Near  the 
tiiree-quarter  pole  Courier  passed  the  Glen  Athol 
filly  and  challenged  Sister  of  Mercy,  and,  tuminu 
into  the  homestretch,  the  latter  waa  leading  by  half 
a  length  only.  She  maintained  her  lead  to  the  fur- 
long pole,  however,  but  then  Courier  outran  her  and 
came  to  tlie  front,  winning  the  race  by  a  length  iu 
the  fast  time  of  1:44 14-  Slater  of  Mercy  was  second, 
a  length  in  front  of  Mary,  who  was  two  len^hs 
ahead  of  Dan  K.,  who  ran  up  the  stretch  very  fast. 

THE  MILE  AND  A  HALF  HANDICAP. 
The  second  race  was  a  handicap  of  a  mile  and  a 
half  for  three-year  olds,  which  brought  out  Dixon  & 
Wimmer's  ch.  f.  Bradamante,  McDauiel's  Lady  Ssl- 
yer«,  and  DosweU's  Bu^^hwhacker.  Notwithstand- 
ing that  Bradamante  carried  the  top  weight,  ahe  was 
a  decided  favorite,  especially  as  the  stable  appeared 
to  be  in  form  by  the  victory  of  Courier  in 
the  first  affair.  She  brought  ?375,  against  .'?195 
for  Buahwhacker  and  $190  for  I^ady  Salyers. 
The  distance  being  a  mile  and  a  half,  the  three  were 
taken  down  to  the  half-mile  pole,  and  without  delay 
they  were  sent  im  their  journey,  with  Bradamante  in 
the  lead,  Bushwhacker  second,  and  L.ady  Salyers  iu 
the  rear.  Coming  around  the  lower  turn  the  favorite 
showed  a  length  in  front  of  Bushwhacker,  while 
I*ady  Salvers  was  puiled  three  lengths  in  the  rear.  At 
the  three-quaiter  pole  Bushwhadcer  was  on  even 
terms  with  Bradamante,  but  at  the  ftirlong 
pole  -  the  latter  again  worked  to  the  front 
under  a  strong  pull,  and  finished  the  tir^t 
half  mile  of  tho  race  in  52  lo  seconds,  lead- 
ing Bushwhacker  half  a  length,  while  Lady  Salyers 
was  three  and  a  half  lengths  behind  them.  «»>itiff 
round  the  turn,  Bradamante  shook  oif  Bushwhacker, 
leading  him  a  length  and  then  two  lengths,  but 
finallv,  at  the  quarter  pole,  there  was  nearly  half  a 
length  of  rtayl^t  between  them,  while  a  length  of 
space  dividfd  Buahwharker  and  Lady  Salvers.  In 
this  manner  they  ran  some  distance  do^vn  the  back 
stretch,  but  then  Spillman  used  his  whip  freely  on 
Bushwhacker,  who  was  inclined  to  lag,  and 
responding  to  It  he  closed  to  the  tall  of 
Bradamante,  while  Barrett  let  Lady  l*alyers 
fret  within  half  a  length  of  Bu.*^! whacker.  Conung 
round  the  lower  turn.  Bushwhacker  challen^d 
"Bradamante,  and,  after  setting  even  with  her. 
showed  hti  no(^k  and  shotdders  in  the  van,  while  in 
the  meantime  l^ady  Salyers  came  up  and  was  lappinc 
Bradamante  at  the  sadrtle-pirth.  The  brush  round 
the  turn  was  very  excitini;,  and  aroused  the  enthu- 
siasm of  the  spectators.  At  the  three-quarter  pole 
Bradamante  and  Biwhwhacker  were  apparently  even, 
and  Barrett  had  fallen  La/"k  a  little  with  Jjady  Halyers 
In  onlor  to  take  a  good  position  ou 
the  home  stretch.  When  they  came  up 
to' the  furlong  pole  the  three  appeared  to  be  level, 
and  there  was  great  excitement  on  the  itand.  Busli- 
whacker  then  had  Bradamante  beaten,  as  the  favorite 
began  to  quail  and  Lakeland  drew  his  whip.  A  shout 
went  up  from  Ha.thwhacker"8  backers,  but  now  came 
I^ady  Salyers  to  the  front  amid  the  cheerinji  of  the 
spectatorH  from  every  quarter  of  the  stand,  and  when 
ane  passed  tlie  Roal  the  winner  by  three-quarters  of 
A  length,  the  Bhootlug  was  continued  for  s6me  time. 
The  favorite  was  imaten  off  sii  lengths,  and  her 
backers  were  chopfallen.  The  time  of  the  mile  and 
a  half  wa«  'J:39i*j.  and  the  mile  from  the  starting 
point  back  again  was  \A\i. 

THK  MILK  AXD  A   QCARTEB. 

The  third  event  waa  a  dash  of  a  mile  and  a  quarter 
for  the  purse  given  by  the  book-maker,  Mr.  H.  Stan- 
ford, The  horses  were  to  carry  the  old  weights,  and 
from  the  character  of  the  entries  a  great  contest  was 
antioipat«d,  and  the  people  were  not  disappointed. 
There  were  four  competitors,  namely,  Dwyer  Broth- 
ers' Rhadamanthua.  Smythe's  Madge,  McDanlel's  Ma- 
jor Barker,  and  P.  Itorillard's  Bombast.  Rltadaman- 
thus  waa  the  favorite  at  $400.  Bombast  brought  $325. 
3[adge  $380,  and  Barker  $95.  They  were  sUrted 
from  the  three^uarter  pole  apparently  well  together, 
but  when  they  got  going  Bombast  came  to  the  front 
at  a  fast  pace,  followed  by  Major  Barker,  while  the 
other  two  were  even.  Wnon  they  reached  the  stand 
Bombast  showed  a  length  in  'front  of  Major 
Barker,  and  he  waa  the  same  distance  ahead 
of  Rhsdamanthus.  with  Madge  lapping  the  lat- 
ter'8  quarter,  doing  round  the  turn  they  ran 
nose  and  tail  in  the  same  relative  positions,  and  at 
the  quarter  polo,  the  only  change  wa.s  that  Madge 
had  moved  up  to  the  saddle-girth  of  Rfaadamanthus. 
Going  along  the  back  stretch  Bombast  kept  the  pace 
hot,  out  Major  Barker  mauaj^ed  to  get  up  and  lap 
his  quarter,  and  Hhadamauthus  in  the  meantime  wa^ 
moving  nn,  followed  by  Madge.  When  they  reached 
the  halfmile  pole  Boa.bast  wan  fltlU  cutting  out  the 
work,  but  Maior  Barker  clung  to  his  sad(ile-skirtJ^ 
and  at  the  latter's  heels  was  Hhadamauthus, 
lapped  by  Madge  on  the  quarter.  'Wlien  they  came 
round  the  lower  turn  the  race  was  beautiful 
to  look  at.  Bombast  pushed  out  a  length  and  a  half 
In  front  of  Major  Barker,  who  began  to  atiit.  and  ttie 
other  two,  Rhadamanthns  and  Madge,  got  even  with 
him.  Evans  then  set  Rhadamanthns  to  work,  and 
the  black  horse  pushed  to  the  second  place  at  the 
three-quarter  pole.  ^V'hen  they  came  up  the  stretch 
Khadamauthus  made  a  doteruiined  effort  to  catch 
Bombast  and  closed  up.  while  Malge  came  on  the 
outside  very  fast,  bnUthe  effort  was  too  much  for 
them.  Madge  first  gave  it  up,  and  then  Rhadamnn- 
thu.1,  although  running  gamely,  could  not  overtake 
Bombast,  who  won  the  race  amid  the  greatest  en- 
thusiasm by  a  length  in  2:10i2 — fast  time:  Madge 
was  third,  lieaten  rIx  lengths,  and  Major  Barker  waa 
four  lengths  behind  her. 

THE  STEEPLE-CHASE, 
The  day's  entertainment  terminated  in  a  handicap 
steeple-chase,  which  brought  out  the  noted  cross 
country  horse*.  Trouble,  Waller,  and  Moonstone, 
and  introduced  a  new-comer  in  Perls.  The  pool-sell- 
ing was  heavy  on  the  result,  and  Trouble  was  tho 
favorite  at  $350,  Waller  $300,  and  the  other  two  In 
the  field  $110.  They  were  started  as  usual 
In  the  east  field,  the  left  side  of  the  chute 
and  they  moved  off  at  a  hand  gallop.  The  first  ob- 
stacle, a  stone  wall,  was  first  taken  by  Mooiutone, 
with  Trouble  second.  Waller  third,  and  Paris  fourth. 
Theywereallwaitingfor  one  another,  and  wentround 
thebeudof  thelower  turn  very  alowly.untiltheygot  to 
the  third  obstacle,  the  stone  wall,  whick  Moonstone 
took  fotir  lengths  in  front  of  Waller,  who  was  two 
lengths  ahead  of  Trouble,  who  waa  the  same  distance 
away  from  Paris.  They  remained  in  the  same  posi- 
tions over  the  fence,  and  at  the  stone  wall 
tn  the  vicinity  of  the  three-quarter  pole, 
when  they  ran  obliquely  to  the  hedge 
imder  the  tree,  and  then  they  came  to  the  eighth 
jump,  the  north  section  of  the  water,  which  they  all 
look  in  a  beautiful  manner.  Moonstone  waa  leadinR 
three  lengths.  Waller  was  aeoond.  just  in  front  <rf 
Tztmble,  and  Paxla  aevwal  lengths  m  the  rear.  They 
made  two  leaps  aerett  the  raus  of  the  ehute  Into  the 
west  fl^ld,  where  a  stone  wall  confronted  them,  and 
Koonstooe  atUl  led  three  lengths,  and  Trouble  took 
the*eoimd  i^iaca  from  Waller.      Takins  the  track 


rails  at  the  turn  they  dropped  down  fnto  tlie  aontb 
field  beyond  the  back  stretch,  where  Troubls  felL  to 
the  rear,  and  the  pace  became  better.  When  they 
got  to  the  sixteenth  obstacle,  tho  big  stone  wall  op- 

{>oslto  Belmont's  stable,  Moonstone  showed  four 
engthe  in  advance  of  Waller,  who  was  half  a  length 
in  ftont  of  Paris,  and  Trouble  three  lengths  in  the 
rear.  They  then  took  a  fence,  jumped  across  the 
trackrailsmtothe  west  field  again,  then  across  the 
lower  end  of  the  chute,  into  the  east  field,  taking  a 
hedge  and  then  a  fence.  Then  making  a  Beml-circlft, 
they  came  round  to  the  stone  wall  this  side 
of  the  furlongpole.  where  Moonatone  was  loading 
two  lengths,  >valler  second,  with  Trouble  close  up, 
and  Parut  in  the  rear,  where  he  remained  to  the  end. 
They  took  the  south  section  of  the  water  in  the 
uune  order,  but  Tronbl^mado  such  a  magnificent 
leap  that  he  was  loudly  applatided.  They  again 
Jumped  across  the  chute  iklls  into  the  we«t  field,  and 
Waller  assumed  the  lead  and  went  over  tho  atone 
wall  two  lengths  in  front  of  Moonstone,  who  led 
Trouble  a  length,  and  the  latter  was  two  lengths  be- 
fore Paris.  They  made  a  turn  to  the  right,  came 
over  the  hedge  and  ditch,  when,  in  ma- 
king the  circle,  Moonstone  ran  wide,  and  he  was  soon 
left  behind,  but  got  going  again  before  Paris  could 
pass  him.  The  race  was  now  betweeu  Trouble  and 
Waller,  and  the  excitement  began  when  thev  ran 
down  parallel  with  the  sectional  track  with  Waller 
two  lengtha  in  front  of  the  favorite.  At  the  thirty- 
first  jump,  the  Btone  wall  Waller  waa  still  two  lengthy 
in  the  run,  but  Trouble  was  closing  rapidly  upo4( 
him,  and  when  they  leaped  the  last  stone  wall, 
before  jumping  into  the  tracic.  Trouble  was 
in  front,  and  turning  into  the  tracic,  he  showed  half  a 
length  before  Waller.  As  they  ran  round  the  turn. 
Waller  ran  up  and  collared  Trouble,  and  they 
jumped  the  hurdle  on  the  turn  together.  The  excite- 
ment was  intense  as  they  came  round  to  the  last 
hurdle  on  the  home  stretch,  which  they  leaped 
simultaneously  amid  the  greatest  ezdtement. 
There  was  another  cheer  as  Trouble  came  to  the 
front,  and  stuck  there,  finally  winning  the  chase  by- 
three-quarters  of  a  length,  in  .5:53^^.  Moonstono 
third,  some  20  lengths  off,  Paris  fai^hind.

SWIMMING  AGAINST  TIDE. 

A  "WELL-COKTESTED  AMATEUR  RACE  ON  THE 
HARLEM — ONE  MILE  AGAINST  THE  TIDE 
—  NAMES  OF  THOSE  WHO  OBTAINED 
PLACES, 

Elevi^n  amateur  swimmers  of  New-York  and 
vicinity  mustered  at  the  New-Vork  Athletic.  Club- 
house, fo<it  of  One  Hundred  and  Thirty-eighth-street, 
yciterday  afternoon,  for  the  purpose  of  contesting  a 
one-mile  swimming  race  for  the  eluh  gold  medal. 
Notwithstanding  the  heavy  f^torm  of  thunder  and 
lightning  which  marred  the  afternoon  and  at  times 
aecmed  to  threaten  the  dem^'litiou  of  Harlem  and  its 
environs,  all  the  contestants  save  one  were  present 
at  tho  appointed  hour,  together  with  a  goodly  com- 
pany of  frienda  and  backers.  The  following  were 
the  entries,  with  the  colors  of  each  : 

William  Childn.  Nantilas  Boat  Clnb,  dark  blue;  R. 
WfllfiftiTubani.  Kew-Yort,  bluo  aud  whttf  :  H.  W.  Peok- 
wcll,  L»Buntles«  Boat  Club.  Mne ;  C  M.  -Shaw,  Yonkert 
Athletio  Club,  red  and  white :  T.  K.  Kit-htnfc.  New-York, 
orange:  .lames  FmztT.  New-Vork  .\thletic  ( luh.  red  ami 
whttc- ;  M.  Kran.  New- York,  blue  and  white:  Wnrren  K. 
Smith,  New-Yi.rk.  crinason;  T.  B.  Bat*«i.  Hariem  AthleUc 
Chib.  puri-li  niiiJ  while  :  O.  O.  Bate*.  Uarlem,  brown  and 
white  ;  S.  Sinclair,  MorrLsania.  yellow. 

The  las^named  gentleman  is  a  deaf  mute  from  the 
rnstitution  for  tho  Deaf  and  Dumb  in  Morrlsania. 
He  proved  himself  a  fair  swimmer.  Owing  to 
the  Btorm  and  the  consequent  delay,  the  men  did  not 
get  off  until  three-quarters  of  an  hour  after  the  time 
appointed.  A  large  fleet  of  pair-oared  and  single 
shells,  together  with  row-boats  aud  banies,  had 
gathered  off  Florences  Dock  just  below  McCumbs 
Dam  Bridge,  where  the  men  took  to  the  water. 
At  5:36*  the  signal  was  ^ven,  and  the  1 1  atruck  out 
boldly  on  their  lone  journey.  The  courne  was  the 
usual  one  of  the  Harlem  Regatta  AswH-iation — a 
measured  mile  terminating  at  a  point  below  the  Co- 
lumbia College  boat-house.  Owing  to  the  late  hour 
at  which  the  mpn  cot  off.  they  found  the  incoming 
tide  stmng  against  tnem,  and  were  forced  to  expend 
more  than  double  tlie  force  otherwise  required 
ill.  reaching  tho  gosX.  At  200  yards  from  the 
starting  pomt  Weissenl>arn,  a  clean  limbed  and 
powermlfy  built  yoiuig  Oerman,  b«:an  to  force  ahead 
of  his  companions,  giN'lng  nnmisiaUable  evidence  of 
"  rtayitiE  "  Qtialities.  which  bid  fair  to  win  him  the 
race.'  Klt^'hiDg,  a  light,  graceful  swimmerj^seized  the 
second  place,  and  stuck  to  it  with  lenacifi-  throui-h- 
ODt  the  struggle.  Frazer  and  Shaw  hugged  the  wext- 
em  shore,  thereby  wisely  avoldiiig  the  cur- 
rent which  set  swiftly  against  the  others. 
At  the  half-mile  five  of  the  swimmers  had 
succimibed,  and  of  the  remwnlug  half  dozen 
several  showed  signs  of  weakening.  At  this  point  the 
race  presented  a  very  pretty  sicht,  the  wide-spread 
fiotllla  of  boats,  with  the  blue  and  while  costumes  of 
thoir  occupants,  contrasting  admirably  -vr^Ax  Xlie 
broad  unruffled  surface  of  tho  stream  and  thc^^greeu 
shore  on  either  hand.  A  little  later  the  approach  of 
the  steamer  from  High  Bridge  caused  a 
flutter  among  the  gay  convoy,  and  the 
liffht  shells  were  seen  darting  to  either  side, 
followed  bv  the  struggling  swimmers.  The  latter 
had  more  difficulty  in  steering  clear  of  the  paddle- 
wheels,  and  at  one  moment  it  appeared  as  though  one 
or  two  of  the  more  venturesome  would  be  run  down, 
but  tho  clever  steering  of  the  pilot,  and  the  active  ef- 
forts of  the  men  in  the  water  averted  the  danger.  As 
the  race  approached  the  club-house  it  was  plain  that 
Welssenbam  had  It  all  hls_  own  way.  though  about 
the  second  place  there  was  'still  some  doubt.  Kitch- 
ing  followed,  20  yards  in  the  wake  of 
his  companion,  while  hugging  the  southern  shore, 
in  the  order  named,  were  Fraxer  and  Shaw. 
Ryan  and  the  two  Bateses  had  long  before 
been  seized  with  "cramps'  and  taken  aboard  the 
boats.  Opposite  the  Athletic  Club-boa^e,  where  the 
majority  of  the  spectators  were  gathered,  the  inter- 
val between  the  first  and  second  was  at  least  'M> 
yards,  while  the  remainder,  with  the  eicggtlcm'  of 
Frszer  aud  Shaw,  were  plainly  out  of  %tii^T&cc 
AVeissenbam  swam  hand  over  hand,  grasping  the 
water  with  his  pahna  and  pushing  himself  for- 
ward by  strong  efforts.  Kitching  swam  the  ordinary 
stroke  iu  an  easy  and  graceful  manner,  but 
was  plainly  fatigued,  although  plucky  to  the  last- 
A  couple  of  hundred  yards  further  on  tjio  men  passed 
the  stake-boat  in  the  following  order  and  time : 
Welssenbam,  first,  45m.  4'i^R.;  Hitching,  second, 
46m.  25s.;  Fraier,  third.  49m.  ll^s.  Shaw  was 
fonrth-  The  strong  adverse  tide  and  the  interrup- 
tiona  by  the  steamers  and  passing  boats  account  for 
the  unusually  long  time  occupied.  The  winner 
emerged  from'  the  water  in  excellent  conditiou,  but 
the  two  others  were  terribly  fatigued.  Charles  Cone, 
of  tho  New-York  Athletic  Club,  acted  as  referee, 
J.  H.  Stead  as  judge  at  the  finish,  and  Edward  Plum- 
mer  aa  time-keeper^

wanted  6S  rune  to  win  the  game,  and  these  they 
made  in  less  tlian  an  hour.  The  playing  was  re- 
markablr  strong  both  in  the  field  and  at  the  bat. 
Batterthwaite  and  Moeran  were  first  at  the  wickets.

The  third  ammal  regatta  of  the  Sea  ClUf  Adim 
teur  Boating  Club  took  place  at  Sea  Clift.  Lout 
Island,  yesterday  afternoon.  A  large  number  o% 
spectators  w«re  present,  despite  the  frequent  zain  ' 
"Which '  fell  during  the  races.  The  programma  in-{ 
eluded  four  races,  the  first  of  which  was  for  two-pair-i 
oarWhitehall  boats,  open  to  all  comets,  for  a  prize' 
of  $50  ;  second  prize,  910 ;  cotcrse  three  miles— od4 
and  one-half  miles  and  return.  Two  boats  oompetad— ^ 
the  Katie,  manned  by  William  and  Isaac  Cor,  anf 
the  Nellie  Kyle,  manned  br  W.  R.  Be  Puy  and  A^ 
Fall.  At  the  start  the  Cos  brothers  led  by  half  a 
length,  which  they  gradually  increased,  tcming  the 
stake-boat  four  longttis  in  advance.  On  the  hoac 
stretch  they  pulled  away  from  the  Kdlia  Kyle,  com* 
ing  in  easy  wiimers  by  six  lengths.  Time.  l^D- 
34  3(s.  The  Cox  brothers  were  winners  of  the  races,

The  second  race,  open  to  members  of  the  clnb  only. 
wa.s  for  the  same  class  of  boat«  si?  the  first,  over  t* 
two-mile  ctrarse — one  mile  and  return — for  a  sUrar 
challenge  ctlp.  Three  crews  competed — J.  Heodiick- 
son  and  William  Eoteling,  in  the  Romeo;  J.  Fran- 
cis  and  J.  Keator,  in  the  Nellie  Kvle,  and  H.  Slili- 
well  and  William  Cox,  Jr..  in  the  Katie.  Th\» 
boats  got  away  evenlv,  and  neither  gained  a  percepU 
ble  advantage  uotil  tho  tlrst  quart<*r-mile  had  beer.. 
passed,  when  the  Nellie  Kyle  was  fouled  by  the 
Romeo.  It  is  claimed  that  the  former  wa&  sleereu. 
into  the  latter's  conrpe,  and  thun  c«ns«sl  the  tonL

crew,  10m.  53  ^ss-  Messrs.  tiiillwcU  and  Cox  war: 
winners  of  the  cup  last  year. 

The  third  race  was  for  single  scull  shells,  open  to 
all  comers,  over  a  two-niiLe  course — one  mUe  and  re- 
turn— for  a  prize  of  S20.  The  conteKtants  were  W. 
K.  X>o  Puy  and  (  harles  E.  Keator.  At  the  atar* 
Keator  took  the  lead,  De  Puy  seeming  to-be  tnmbled 
with  the  sliding  seat,  which  ho  had  never  before 
Tised.  He  soon  settled  down  to  a  steady  str^ike.  how- 
ever, and  at  the  half  mile  passed  his  opponent  easily, 
and  turned  the  stake-boat  a  lenjjth  ahead.  Keator^ 
pulled  a  plucky  race,  but  wa.-*  ntiable  to  over- 
take I>e  Puy,  who  crossed  the  inish  three  letigth:^ 
iu  advance.  Time,  1-lm.  l^^s.  Kcator's  time,  14in 
28s. 

The  closing  race,  open  to  members  of  the  cWb 
onlv,  was  for  the  same  class  of  boats  as  in  the  fim. 
ancf  second  races.  Course,  two  mile*— on**  mile  and 
return.  J.  Hendrif  kson  and  WiUlKm  Hoieliug  eo-^ 
tered  the  Romeo :  J .  l^ncis  an  d  Gtorse  Burgess  en-' 
tered  the  Nellie  Kyle ;  T.  Miller  and  James  Coi  en- 
tered the  Katie.  'The  prize  was  a  ladies' chaUexue 
flag.  ^lendrirkROii  and  HotelinK  took  the  lead  at  tho 
start,  closely  followed  by  Francis  and  Burpess,  with 
MiUer  aud  Coi  in  the  rear.  The  rsce  waa  liotly  oem- 
tested  throughout,  but  the  posiciona  were  unchanged, 
tie  crews  crossing  the  finish  in  the  order  named- 
Time  not  taken.  It  is  thought  by  many  t2iat  the 
course,  not  being  correctly  measured,  was  too  short. 
Tne  time  given  vfonld  indicate  that  such  is  the  ease. 
After  the  close  of  the  la«t  race  tho  priac*  were  pza- 
Muted  to  the  winning;  crews  by  Mr.  John  Poord.

Ten  thoosand  sowers  throtigh  the  land 

Fass^  heedless  on  their  way  ; 
Ten  thousand  sc^^tls  in  every  hand 

Of  every  sort  had  they. 
They  cast  seed  here,  they  Vast  a«ed  there, 
They  cast  seed  everywhere. 

The  land  a  forest  strahi;htway  grew, 

With  plinM  of  every  kind  ;- 
And  kindly  fruits,  and  poisonous  too, 

In  that  wood  could  you  find  ; 
For  trees  prew  here,  anrl  trees  grew  there,    - 
And  trees  erew  everywhere.  ■ 

Anon,  as  many  a  year  went  by. 

Those  sowers  came  once  more. 
And  wandered  "neath  the  leaf-hid  sky. 

And  wondered  at  the  store  ; 
For  fruit  han^^  here,  and  fruit  hong  there, 
And  fruit  huiu;  everywhere. 

Then  plucked  they  many  a  berry  bright, 

None  could  their  riirht  denv  : 
And  some  ate  to  their  long  delight. 

And  some  ate  bat  to  die  : 
WhUa  some  plncksd  here,  and  some placked  there, 
And  some  plucked  every^vhero.

The  treea  that  were  their  omi ; 
Yet  as  they  plucked  as  ea::h  one  should. 

Each  plaeked  what  he  bad  sown.

do  not  mean  that  wa  have  passively  become  his

that  we  have  so  aided  and  abetted  him  in 
makinig:  the  maiden  of  his  choice  his  wife  that  I 
feel  entitled  to  rei^ent — Wo  have  married  him. 

It  took,  you  will  see,  a  Ion?  time  as  it  was,  but. 
I  am  sure  it  would  have  taken  years  more  wiih- 
out  U.9.  It  was  not  that  there  was  any  difficulty 
in  regard  to  what  is  usually  the  most  fruitful 
Bource  of  dliTiculty  when  our  friends 
are  bent  upon  marrying  and  giving  in  man-iage 
— the  dot — for  Pommier  was  very  poor  when  he 
came  to  ua,  and  I  do  not  think  he  can 
nave  saved  much  of  his  wajfes  since,  and 
so  he  could  not  expect  that  Made-

I  must  not  introduce  her  yet.  Dear  Bo, 
why  did  not  your  godfathers  and  godmothers 
call  you  Jlarie  Adolphine  instead  of  the  barbar- 
ous name  whose  only  presentable  form  we  havo 
discovered  in  Bo  ?  But  I  ought  at  once  to  reas-

him  if  I  might  speak  to  him  as  to  whether  he 
woulii  give  me  pt-rmission  to  marry.  .For  you 
see,  Mad— "  "Permission  to  marry  I"  said  I. 
interrupting  the  stream  of  talk  that,  was  now 
let  loose,  "  why,  you  know  that  you  have  no 
need  to  ask  his  permission  to  marry."  "Ah. 
but  you  know.  Mademoiselle,  tjiat  I  come  from 
the  Mayenne,  and  one  does  not  the  things  there 
as  one  does  here,  and  I  am  so  well  cased  here 
that  I  would  not  marry  if  it  derange  Monsieur 
or  you.  though  I  find  it  very  dear  living 
alone  and  having  to  pay  for  my  washing 
and  cooking,  or  living  at  the  nuhergfi,  to 
Bay  nothing  of  Mademoiselle  my  intended  l>eing 
able  to  earn  enough  by  dres-^-makiu-r  to  keep 
herself.  And  I  asked  her  to  write  to  my  father 
for  his  consent,  for  she  can  write  beautifiilly, 
but  she  thought  that  it  was  better  for  me  to 
pay  some  sons  and  get  Monsieur  Billois  to  do 
that ;  and  she  ha<l  reason,  had  she  not  I  And 
If  you.  Mademoiselle,  would  ask  31onsieur  for 
his  permission  I  should  then  have  no  neM  to 
trouble  him  at  all  :  and  you  will  tell  him  that  1 
will  not  marry  if  it  would  derange  him — is  it 
not  so  ?  And  Mademoiselle  will  excuse  me.  for 
I  am  pressed,  tor  3Ionsieur  the  schoolmaster 
cannot  wait,  for  the  school  recommences  at  1 
o'clock."  And  Pommier  fairly  ran  away  to 
avoid  any  reply  to  the  longest  speech 
he  had  ever  made.  I  have  taken  the 
liberty  to  introduce  some  commas  and  stops 
into  it,  but  there  was  no  pause  of  any  sort  in  his 
delivery  of  it,  and  I  have  suppressed  some  50 
**  3Iade'moiselles." 

Well,  do  you  know,  Bo.  I  was  disappointed. 
We  had  all  been  busy  matchmaking — tying  to- 
gether our  two  favorites,  Vlrginieaad  Pommier. 
And  here  was  this  self -conceited  Pommier  pre- 
gtiming  to  choose  for  himself,  and  knocking  to 
pieces  our  castle  in  the  air.  For  there  was  a 
real  castle  in  the  air,  as  we  had  found  an  abode 
for  our  happy  pair  in  the  waste  howling  wilder- 
ness of  attics,  where  you  remember  the  former 
proprietor  of  our  house  had  commenced  fitting 
up  a  sath  d'ann^.s  and  gymnasium,  and  I  know 
not  what.  There  we  thought  they  might  be 
quite  at  home,  within  bell-call,  and  yet  _out  of 
earshot,  even  if  they  should  people  that  wilder- 
ness witK  ••  infant,s  wailing  for  their  absent 
molher."  Xow  all  this  had  to  be  given  up.  and 
for  a  damsel  whose  surroundings  we  did  not 
like — the  Belgian  girl  whose  Christian  names 
have  already  created  a  rankling  jealousy  in  your 
heart 

Whert  I  told  Virginie,  she  was  quite  put  out. 
Kot  that  she  shared  your  jealousy  of  tty?  Wan- 
gcrmann.  for  I  believe  "  she  walks  in  maiden 
meditation  fancy  free,"  like  Queen  Elizabeth 
and  me,  or  that  h^r  "  brorhers  friend  from 
Paris"'  sometimes  occupies  her  thoughts.  But 
Bhe  did  not  like  Pommier  having  told  me 
first.  So  we  had  some  difficulty  in  bringing  her 
round.  But  round  she  duly  came,  and  has  ever 
since  boon  Pommiers  chief  confidante,  and, 
jointly  with  Lys  and  me.  chief  adviser. 

A  little  more  than  a  week  after.  Pommier,  all 
radiant,  showed  Virginie  a  letter  that  he  had 
just  received  from  his  father,  with  liis  formal  con- 
sent to  the  marriage  duly  certified.  This  con- 
sent is  a  most  important  affair,  for  without  it, 
and  many  other  documents  also,  marriage  be- 
comes almost  impossible.  So,  Bo,  when  the 
French  il.'irquis  wnom  you  say  you  are  expect- 
ing turns  up.  seo  that  he  has  it  or 
gets  il,  and  that  you  may  know  that  it  is

When  I  next  saw  Pommier  I  &sked  hira  when 
the  wedding  was  to  be.  '•  Ah,  Slademoisello,  if 
I  had  only  known,  I  wonld  never  have  begun  to 
get  married.  ^Vhen  I  took  my  papers  to  get 
my  marriasre  notice  posted  np  at  the  mairie. 
Monsieur  Billois  asked  me  for  my  own  papers, 
so  I  showed  him  my  Hvret  (the  little  booK  that 
all  French  workmen  have  to  carry— their  pass- 
port, in  fact,)  but  he  said  that  that  was  not 
enough,  that  I  must  also  have  my  act  of 
-birth-  and  my  certificate  of  military 
ser\'ice  or  of  exemption ;  and  so  he  has 
written  for  them.  And  you  know.  Mademois- 
elle, all  this  costs  money. "  And  besides  I  have 
a.^ked  Jladcmoiselle  Adolphine  whether  she  has 
her  papers,  and  she  has  not,  and  I  do  not  know 
when  she  will  get  them,  for  she  has  to  write  to- 
Be-ilginm  for  them.  And  further,  I  asked  her  to 
write  to  Monsieur  the  cur^  of  my  country  for  a 
copy  of  my  certificate  of  baptism,  for  you* know, 
Mailemoiselle.  that  we  are  going  to  be  mairied 
religiously  as  well  as  civilly,  and  we  cannot  be 
without  the  certificate  which  Monsieur  the  cur6 
has  not  sent,  though  there  is  now  a  month  since 
we  wrote  V  I  duly  condoled  with  him,  and  said 
that  as  I  heard  hira  whistle  so  .at  his  work  I  had 
concluded  that  matters  wore  going  on  all  right." 
'*  Just  the  contrary.  Mademoiselle,  I  whistle 
that  I  may  not  think  !" 

A  few  ^ys  after,  Virginie  came  and  told  us 
that  Pommier  was  whistling  louder  than  ever, 
f<ir  he  had  had  liis  application  for  a  copy  of  his 
certificate  of  liberation  from  military  service 
sent  back  because  it  was  not  written  upon 
stamped  paper,  and  consequently  that  the 
schoolmaster  had  had  to  write  again,  and  Pom- 
mier to  pay  1-t  soi(S  for  the  stamp.  It  seemed 
as  if  the  fates  wore  fighting  against  the  we<l- 
ding.  At  last,  however,  the  following  docu- 
ments came,  which,  like  all  the  others,  were 
covered  with  impres.^ed  seals.  To-b^gin\rith

There,  Ro,  I  have  now  given  you  the  four 
papers  you  mu-<t  make  your  Marquis  produce, 
or  corresi>onding  ones,  according  t*>  hLs  circum-

it  was  amusing  to  see  the  way  PomraiL-r  dru-w 
himself  up  to"  the  full  of  the  scant  measure  of 
heiffht  nature  has  dealt  out  to  him.  and  how  he

*'  Now  then,  I  hope  all  is  in  order."  said  I  to 
Pommier  on  hiii  return  from  the  nuiirie.  "  "^'es. 
Mademoiselle,  all  I  want  for  my  civil  mairiage  : 
but  Mademoiselle  Adolphine  has  not  yet  got  ner^ 
papers,  and  we  have  not  vet  heard  from  Monsieiir. 
mycur^.  And  please.  M'ademoi.^tlle,  will  you  usk 
Monsietir  whether  ho  will  permit  me  to  present 
my  intended  to  him.  and  »to  you,  and  to 
Mademoiselle,  your  sister  ?  '^  I  told  him  ho 
might  bring  her  on  Sundiiy  evening,  after  din- 
ner. 

During  dinner  on  Sunday,  we  commenced 
pitying  the  x>oor  girl  coming,  as  it  were,  ju!>t  for 
us  to  criticize  her.  so  we  determined  to  make 
things  as  easy  as  possible.  About  0  o'clock.  Mon- 
sieur Pommier  and  Mademoiselle  Wangermann 
were  announced.  She  is  very  gocnl  looking. 
dark,  and  tall — so  tall,  in  fact,  that  she  would 
not  have  escaped  for  ""  default  of  height,"  had 
she  been  drawn  for  senrice  in  the  army.  She 
was  plainly  dressed  in  dark  stuff,  and  had 
an  open-knitted,  white  capeline  very  gracefully 
thrown  .over  her  hair,  with  its  point  reaching 
her  forehead.  I  suppose  she  had  been  thinking 
also  of  how  to  make  the  interview  as  easy  as 
possible , /or  us,  for  she  sailed  into  the  room  like  a 
Duchess,  cool  and  collected,  made  a  low  bow  to 
Monsieur,  then  bowing  to  us  also,  wished  us  the 
good  evening,  and  said  how  pleased  she  had  felt 
when  Monsieur  Pommier  askf^d  her  to  come  and^ 
pay  her  respects  to  us ;  how  honored  she  felt  to* 
make  our  acquaintance ;  how  she  hoped  that  in 
the  future  the  marriage  of  Monsieur  Pommier 
with  herself  would  not  change  the  good  rela- 
tions existing  botWe_en  us,  itc,  ifcc.  Long  before 
her  polite  phrases  were  exhausted  Pommier  had 
escaped,  murmuring  something  about  th6  gar- 
den. But  she  had  no  need  of  his  support,  and 
took  good  care  that  the  conversation  did  not 
fiag.  Neither  did  she  forget  business  by  remind- 
ing ns  that  she  was  a  dress-maker,  and  would  be 
proud  to,  Ac,  &e.;  but  this  was  brought  in  very 
delicately.  AVhen  Pommier  returned,  we  con- 
doled with  him  upon  all  the  trouble  he  had  had 
with  his  papers,  eepeciidly  as  some  of  them  ap- 
peared to  us  so  useless.  But  she  would  not 
have  it  that  these  formalities  were  useless. 
"How,  Mesdames,  without  them,  could  one 
know  that — that,  for  example.  Monsieur  Pona- 
mier  was  not  already  married  i ''  Poor  Pom- 
mier I  he  did  not  look' just  then  like  an  intend- 
irig  bigamist ;  but  words  failing  him  to  make  a 
proper  disclaimer,  he  had  to  give  a  nod,  and — 
•■But  yea,  she  has  reason:  "*  to  show  his  sense 
of  the  necessity  of  all  possible  precautious. 
Speaking  of  the  delav  in  procuring  the  bap- 
tismal certificate,  the  \V'angermaim  said  some- 
thing abont  not  waiting  for  it  when  all  her  pa- 
pers had  come,  as  the  civil  marriage  was  suffi- 
cantly  binding ;  but  Pommier  blazed  up  at  this 
like  a  good  old-fashioned  peasant  as  he  is,  so  she 
at  once  drew  in. 

As  regarded  her  papers,  the  only  one 
wanting  was  her  act  of  birth.  As 
she  was  bom  in  Belgium  a  nd  did 
not  know  in  what  town,  and.  as  her  parents 
were  dead,  this  paper  gave  her  some  trouble. 
Pommier  got  very  disquieted  about  it,  almost  as 
if  he  suspected  her  having  ever  been  bom,  as 
she  could  not  produce  this  necessary  proof  of  it 
••I  cannot  understand  people,  Mademoiselle, 
who  could  lose  so  important  a  paper.  I  cannot 
understand  them!"  "But,  Pommier,  what 
about  your  own  certificate  of  baptism  ? — that  is 
also  delaying  things,  you  know,''  said  I,.^think- 
iug  I  had  him  there.  '*  For  that.  Madem^selle, 
I  got  Monsietir  the  cur6  to  ^\Tite  to  the  cnr«l  of 
my  country,  and  he  has  sent  me  this  letter.'' 
And  a  very  kind  letter  it  was,  witnessing  equally 
to  the  good  feeling  of  the  sender  and  to  the 
good  character  of  the  rec;eiver.  The  cuT6r  ex- 
plained that  he  could  read  only  a  part  of  the 
first  letter,  and  that  that  part  did  not  include 
either  the  signature  or  the  address,  so  he  did 
not  know  how  to  reply.  I  hope  the  letter  was 
not  a  fair  specimen  of  the  Wangermann  pen- 
manship. The  certificate  in  the  curb's  letter 
was  this :

By  the  time  Adolphine  had  ^t  her  papers 
Lent  hod  come,  and  so  Xhe  wedding  cotud  not 
take  place.  It  was,  therefore,  arranged  to  have 
it  in  E&ster  week.  Her  aunt,  with  whom  she 
Uvesa  Aod  vho  ijL  tuxz^livep  with  the  coal  m&i'^ 


chant,  had  persuaded  him  to  regularize  her  po-

double  wedding,  and  the  feast  ^vas  to  be  held  at 
their  house.

ding. When  the  auspicious  day  arrived,  Pom- 
mier was  almost  g^ieechless  with  excitement 
about  the  wedding  generally  and  his  clothes  in 
partieular.  His  tailor  had  promised  them,  but 
had  not  brought  them  overnight.  But  about 
the  time  to  start  the  trousers  arrived.  We  have 
no  false  pride  here,  and  do  not  keep  our  private 
affairs  to  ourselves.  The  tailor  marches  up  the 
street,  carefully  holding  out  the  trousers  so  as 
not  to  crease  them,  and  everybody  looks  out  of 
tlie  windows  at  them,  or  goes  out  into  the  street 
and  feels  relieved  that  at  least  an  instalment 
has  come,  and  eicpresses  a  hope  that  the  rest 
will  not  be  long.  The  tailor  feeU  himself  impor- 
tant with  the  responsibility  resting  upon  him, 
and  tells  Pommier  and  all  the  world  to  be  calm, 
and  count  upon  him.  Then  the  waistcoat  was 
brought  up  in  equal  state ;  and  finally, 
to  the  general  relief  of  all,  and  not  more  than 
an  hour  behindhand,  the  coat,  of  course  a 
swallow-tail,  was  carried  home  in  triumph. 

Nor  was  it  only  about  our  place  that  there 
was  an  unwonted  stir.  From  early  morning, 
friends  had  been  coming  in  from  the  country 
in  their  carts,  to  the  various  inns.  The  men 
had  on  black  trousers,  blue  blouses,  and  all 
sorts  of  head-gear.  The  best  coats  and  hats, 
carefully  brought  in  a  parcel,  wero  only  put  on 
at  the  last  moment,  at  the  bride's  about-to-be 
uncle's  house,  or  more  frequently  in  the  street 
in  front  of  it.  and  the  blouse  left  at  the  house, 
to  be  resumed  immediately  the  ceremonial  part 
i.<t  over,  and  the  joyous  part  about  to  begin. 
The  women  wero  nearly  all  dressed  in  black,  for 
the  good,  careful  souls  arrange  that  their  best 
dress  shall  serve  for  all  their  state  occasions, 
wedtlings,  baptisms,  and  funerals.  Adolphine 
Marie  (I  like  poking  those  two  names  at  you) 
looked  very  handsome  all  in  white,  with  veil 
and  orange-fiower  wreath.  This  wreath,  now 
under  a  glass  sha<le,  forms  the  principal  orna- 
ment of  her  best  rt»om — a  little  half-parlor,  half- 
chamber,  with  a  bed  in  an  alcove,  a.**  is  almost 
the  universal  custom  here.  However  poor  the 
girl  may  be,  she  always  managf^s  to  get  a  white 
dress  and  veil  to  wear  at  her  wedding — that  is, 
if  she  dares  to  "claim  her  right  to  wear  the  virgin 
color — for.  alas!  some  dara  not.  The  other 
bride  wore  black,  being,  as  Xir"ginie  explained 
to  us,  a  widow  carrying  the  unrQrning  for  her 
defunct  husband  tip  to  the  last  possible  mo- 
ment— a  touching  devotion  to  his  memory,  is 
it  not  ? 

Of  course,  we  had  received  the  usual /atre  part, 
asking  us  *'  to  as.sist  at  the  nuptial  benediction." 
Wo  went  also  to  the  mairk  to  the  civil  marriage, 
to  do  honor  to  oor  Pommier.  This  en- 
abled us  to  see  the  procos.sion.  The 
bridegroom  went  to  the  bride's  house, 
and  there  all  were  assembled,  awaiting 
him  and  his  best  man.  Poor  Pommier  looked 
very  red  at  finding  himself  the  observed  of  all 
observers,  and  redder  still  when  he  heard  that 
hi**  best  man  had  not  arrived.  Besides  the  wed- 
ding party  proper,  there  wasachristoning  party 
also  ;  for  as  hf-re  they  do  not  ring  the  church 
bell?*  for  weddings,  but  do  for  christenings,  they 
always  try  to  arrange  so  that  the  bridegroom 
and  bride  may  be  at  the  same  time  godiather 
and  godmother  of  some  friend's  baby.  By  this 
arrangement  tiie  wishod-forcljimrng'is secured: 
and  ns  here  the  godfather  fs  expected  to  makr* 
presents  to  the  trodmotlier  and  not  to  the  god- 
chiM'..  its  economy  would  recommend  it  if  the 
orthodox  presents  were  not  sweetmoat.s. 

Pommier  w:is  not  the  only  one  who  was  get- 
tins;  fidgety  about  the  be.i^t  man.  who  was  our 
village  smith  :  for  tho  bridesmaid,  a  voung  lady 
Willi  the  mo^st  wonderfully  dressed  hair  and 
m.ultitudinous  pink  ribbons,  was  lettinK^  her 
face  get  pinker  than  her  ribbons.  Her  con- 
fusion was  being  enjoyed  by  a  pretty  little  dark- 
haired  girl — whom  you  \rill  remember  w<- 
u>ed  to  call  Mademoiselle  Sairey  Gamp,  from 
her  mother's  profession — who  had  not  been  in- 
vited to  the  wediiiug.  and  who.  all  the  world 
says,  is  the  young  smith's  sweetheart^ — or 
rather  would  be,  but  for  her  want  of  dot ;  ht^ 
hini>;elf  being,  in  his  way.  the  bt-st  p<irti  and 
the  beau  of  the  place. 

■  At  last  he  came  as  coolly  as  possible,  as  if  he 
knew  that  punctuality  is  not  the  politeness  of 
blacksmiths,  lit*  went  along,  shaking  hands 
wi:h  one-half  of  the  people  with  his  right  hand 
and  the  other  half  with  his  left,  as  it  he  wt-re 
climbing  hand  over  hand  up  to  his  place  in  the 
pnu'ession.  And  then  F*ink  Ribbons  gave  a  tri- 
umphant glance  at  ^ladenioiselle  Sairey— a 
glance  that  prevent<;d  her  from  noticing  that 
which  her  squire  aLso  sent  in  the  same  direc- 
tion. Had  she  seen  it  she  would  not  have 
smiled  so  complacently  ;  aud  as  it  wa.s,  it  fully 
consoled  the  dark-haired  beauty  for  her  rival's 
seeming  triumph. 

At  the  tnmrU.  Monsieur  the  Mayor  kept  us 
waiting  a  long  time — 1  suppiise  while  he  brushed 
his  whiskers  and  put  on  his  tri-colored  scarf 
and  .sash,  the  grandeur  of  which  justified 
tho  delay.  He  did  not  keep  us  long  at  the  cere- 
mony, for  all  being  in  OT*der  there  were  not 
many  formalities  to  fulfil.  But  the  registers  of 
this  place  now  possess  the  beautiful  autograph 
of  a  witness  to  an  "  act  of  marriage  "  that  here- 
after may  be  quite  priceless.  As  we  went  out  of  the 
mairis,  I  noticedtnatsomebpdy had puta wreath 
on  our  great*  townsman.  Jean  liacinu's  statue, 
that  made  it  look  a  little  les»Iike  a  man  wrap- 
ping a  bathing  towel  round  himself  on  coming 
.out  of  the  neighboring  river. 

As  it  was  getting  late,  thanks  to  the  Mayor 
and  the  groomsman,  the  proces-sion  took  the 
shorte^st  road  to  the  church,  up  the  steep  street, 
where  you  remember  the  old  poacher  lives  who 
gives  their  chief  employment  to  our  fine  tjen- 
darme-3.  There  is  a  good  story  of  the  old  ras- 
cal, how  that  when  he  was  last  in  trouble 
the  Jiige-de-jxiix  said.  '*  Imprisonment 
does  you  no  good— you  seem  rather  to  like 
it."  "  Monjuqp,  it  is  that  one  appreciates  me 
down  there.  No  sooner  do  I  arrive  than  I  am 
named  chief  cook  V  And  the  sinner  put  his  fln- 
Kers  to  his  lips,  and  made  the  motion  and  the 
sound  as  if  he  were  pulling  out  a  long  kist* — 
the  motion  and  sound  that  precede  the  "  C'est 
ftr^Mw'' that  winds  up  a  Frenchman's  descrip- 
tion of  his  favorite  dish. 

The  procession  was  still  more  imposing  when 
we  left  the  quaint  old  church,  for  it  was  headed 
by  the  beadle  with  his  staff  of  office,  tipped 
with  a  wedding  favor.  What  is  the  beadle's 
skull-cap  made  of  ?  1  fancy  black  fluted  leather. 
Pommier  and  Madame  Pommier  were,  in 
their  quality  of  godfather  and  godmother, 
throwing  handfuls  of  sweetmeats  right  and 
left.  Imagine  the  following  they  had  of  the 
urchindoni  of  La  Fert^.  We  always  knowwhen 
a  christening  lakes  place,  even  when  it  is  at  the 
('hau.ss6e  church,  on  the  other  side  of  the  river 
—not  by  the  bell-ringing— for  its  sound  is 
drowned  by  the  shriller  cries  of  the  children. 
What  row  equals  that  of  a  crowd  of  children  in 
high  glee  \ 

1  cannot  describe  the  wedding  feast,  or  rather 
feasts — for  the  affair  lasted  three  days,  as  is 
usual  here,  and  we  did  not  assist  thereat.  They 
began  as  if  biwiness  was  meant,  for  all  the  men 
at  once  doflfed  their  broadcloth,  and  donned 
their  blouses — thechangeof  raiment  beingchiefly 
effected,  as  before,  in  public.  The  preparations 
mad)B  are  most  extravagant.  Butter  rose  in 
price  in  our  market  last  Friday,  in  conpo- 
quence  of  the  purchases  made  for tfiis  feast.  Vir- 
ginie says  34  pounds  were  bonghtforit,andI  have 
no  doubt  she  knows  all  about  it.  It  seems 
strange  that  these  econonucal  peasants  should 
be  so  extravagant  at  the  beginning  of  their 
housekeeping — spending  what  would  keep  them 
for  montns.  But  it  may  be  almost  forgiven 
them  when  Touihink  that  it  will  be  their  only 
extravagance  for  some  20  years,  when  they 
will  perhaps  repeat  it  at  a  senior  daughter's 
wedding.  As  I  before  said,  mon  oncle — as  Pom- 
mier has  alreaUy  for  monliis  called  him— gave 
the  feast,  so  his  and  Marie  Adolphine's  savings 
will  not  be  diminished.  Usually  the  parents  on 
both  sides  club  together,  and  joinUy  provide 
the  wedding  entertainment. 

After  two  or  three  hours'  eating  and  drinking, 
the  guests,  with  the  host  and  hostess,  walked 
arm  in  arm  in  procession  through  the  town,  and 
then  went  and  danced  in  a  friend's  garden, 
to  the  music  of  the  town  fanfare,  reinforced 
by  a  fiddle.  In  the  evening  there  was 
more  eating  and  drinking,  that  lasted  far  into 
the  night.  The  next  day  the  feasting,  prome- 
nades, and  dancing  were  reoeated — the  brass 
knocker  of  an  An^lo-Indian  wedding  was  nothing 
to  it.  On  the  third  day,  as  signs  appeared  of 
the  running  ont  of  supplies,  many  or  the  guests 
left,  and  their  desertion  enabled  the  old  cam- 
paigners, who  stuck  to  their  posts,  to  have  a 
grand  winding-up  supper. 

Two  days  have  since  elapsed,  and  Pommier 
has  just  put  in  an  appearance.— Jtfacjrti7iart'5

Books  in  Spaik. — Bookshelves  are  very 
rare  in  Spain,  and  bound  books  still  rarer, 
among  the  middle  classes.  In  fact,  the  litera- 
ture of  the  country  is  at  the  lowest  ebb ;  there 
is  plenty  of  it,  such  as  it  is,  but  it  is  of  a  kind 
neither  to  interest  nor  to  improve  its  readers. 
The  daily  paper,  in  fact,  seems  the  chief  fodder 
for  the  mind,  and  that  being  its  daily  pabu- 
Itmi,  no  wonder  that  it  becomes  ener- 
vated and  effeminate,  and  that  the  want 
of  a  good,  cheap,  wholesome  literature  is 
grievously  felt  on  all  sides.  A  bound  book  is 
very  rare,  it  is  scarcely  to  be  found  in  any  of 
the  Idbreriaa,  the  books  being  simply  In  paper 
covers,  and  advertised  in  the  following  fashion : 
In  the  newspapers,  there  is  scarcely  a  single  ad- 


,  house,  a  few  specimen  sheets,  generally  with 
engravings,  of  the  forthcoming  work  of  his 
employer,  which,  if  you  fill  up  the  form 
inclosed  in  the  sheets,  will  be  left  at 
your  door  in  weekly  parts,  pric^  two  reals 
(five  i>ence)  per  part.  In  three  days  the  lad 
goes  his  rounds  again,  and  collects  all  the  speci- 
men sheets,  and  the  subscribers^  names,  taking 
the  former  to  the  inmates  of  another  street. 
This  shows  a  little  the  frugality  of  Spanish  life. 
Those  books  are  generally  the  wildest  and  moat 
improbable  love  stories,  or  narratives  of  such 
and  such  a  criminal's  career  and  death,  or  they 
aro  deeply  devotional  works  ;  and  thev  stand 
in  the  place  of  the  ordinarv  English  maga- 
zine or  three-voltune  novel. — ^emph  Bar. 


Cavoub, — There  is  no  portion  of  the  his- 
tory of  the  nineteenth  century  that  better  "re- 
pays careful  study  than  those  memorable  10 
years  dtiring  which  Cavour,  as  the  constitution- 
al Minister  of  a  small  and  impoverished  State, 
gradually  raised  Piedmont  from  her  position  of 
existence  on  sufferance  to  the  recognized  leader- 
ship of  an  almost  completed  Italy.  To  English- 
men in  partlctilar  the  life  of  Count  Cavour  will 
ever  be  of  singular  interest,  for  he  avowedly 
built  upon,  lines  traced  by  our  politi- 
cians and  thinkers,  and  his  most  suc- 
cessful reforms  were  modeled  upon  improve- 
ments which  we  have  slowly  introduced  Into 
our  own  anomalous  |y)Utical  system.  English 
men.  indeed,  are  entitled  to  feel  proud  of  the 
high  regard  expressed  for  them  and  their  insti- 
tutions by  two  patriots  of  such  different  charac- 
ter and  such  widely  different  ambition  as  Gari- 
baldi and  Cavour.  The  perfect  freedom  we 
hai^  gained,  the  energy  and  patriotism  we  have 
shojgTa  at  all  critical  periods  in  our  history,  ap- 
pear .alike  to  the  cool  calculating  statesman,  and 
to  the  enthusiastic  simple-minded  warrior. 
worthy  of  the  constant  imitation  of 
their  countrymen.  It  is  .  refreshing, 
after  that  long  course  of  self-deprecia- 
tion which  is  an  integral  part  of  English  train- 
ing, to  observe  the  success  which  has  attended 
the  wise  application  of  English  methods  amid 
an  excitable  and  far  from  homogeneous  people- 
The  fashion  is  gaining  ground  of  jeering  at  the 
cumbrous  forms  of  representative  parliamentary 
government,  and  some  even  go  so  far  as  to  pre- 
dict its  speedy  downfall.  It  is  described  on  tho 
one  hand  as  involving  a  waste  of  power  and  a 
sacrifice  of  efficiency  by  excessive  deference  to 
tho  popular  vrill  ;  while  on  the  other  hand  the 
checks  and  balances  so  carefully  contrived  aro 
held  to  fritter  away  al!  ge^ine  responsibility. 
and  to  prevent  the  true  tendency  of  popular 
feeliug  from  making  itself  felt  at  the  most  im- 
portant time.  A  system,  however,  that  rendered 
it  possible  for  Italy  to  secure  unity,  independence, 
and  in  the  main  good  government  under  the 
most  difficult  circumstances,  without  any  serious 
internal  commotion,  can  scarcely  be  really  wantr 
ing  either  in  strength  or  in  flexibility.  Weak 
Ministers,  or  those  of  a  natuntUy  arbitrary  dis- 
position, may  fail  to  manage  a  machine  which 
enabled  rulers  of  greater  capacity  and  wider 
grasp  to  carry  through  projects  that  would  have 
been  hopeless  without  its  a.ssistance  ;  but  tho 
re.al  value  of  parliamentary  institutions  is  not 
the  less  great  on  that  account.  Herein  it  was 
that  Cavour  displayed  the  noblest  sagac- 
ity. Ho  was  ever  ready  to  blame 
his  own  incompetence  rather  than  to 
find  fault  with  his  tools  or  his  materials. 
Throughout  all  the  bitter  struggles  that  he  en- 
gaged in  when  his  policy  was  thwarted,  his  mo- 
tives rnisre presented,  and  even  his  character 
tradu'-ed,  he  steatlily  refused  to  tamper  \rith  one 
iota  of  that  liberty,  failing  which,  as  ho  per- 
sistently declared,  it  was  not  worth  while  to  re- 
constitute Italy.  Parliaments  themselves  might 
be  refractor^-,  his  adversaries  unscrupulous,  or 
his  allies  exacting,  but  nothing  coiUd  justify  a 
statesman  in  taking  a  short  cut  to  his  ol)ject 
over  the  broken-down  fences  of  the  rights  of 
the  people.  Cavour,  from  the  first,  had  a  deep- 
rooted  confidence  in  his  own  countrj-men,  and 
they  more  than  repaid  him  for  it  in  the  end. 
No  Minister  of  a  despotic  sovereign,  no  dictator 
railed  to  supreme  power  by  thepronunciamento 
of  an  army  or  the  ignorant  plt^biscite 
of  a  mob,  could  possibly  have  had 
the  weight  in  Italy  and  throughout  Europe 
that  Cavour  carried  with  him  as  the  responsible 
chief  of  a  constitutional  Cabinet.  That  which 
he  thought  and  felt  to-day,  it^as  certain  that 
through  his  persuasion  the  great  majority  of 
Italians  would  think  and  feel  to-morrow.  By 
<legreeshe  establislted  such  a  community  of 
sentiment  between  him.ielf  and  them  that  they 
could  follow  him  as  readily  in  the  most  intricate 
negotiations  as  in  pursuing  those  ends  which 
were  obviously  for  their  advantage.  The  per- 
fect openness  of  mind  which  enabled  Cavour 
to  work  willingly  and  harmonioustjLi^  with 
all,  no  matter  what  might  he  their 
political  or  religious  views,  who  could  subordi- 
nate their  own  opinions  to  the  good  of  their 
country,  is  a  rare  quality  even  among  statesmen 
of  the  hrst  rank,  and  it  is  this,  even  more  than 
his  genius,  which  renders  him  an  example  to  be 
imitated.  He  alone  of  modem  Ministers  could 
have  fairly  said,  with  Demosthenes.  *•  Though 
each  of  you  is  nearer  to  his  own  than  I  am.  vet 
I,  the  statesman,  am  nearest  to  you  all." — The 
Fortnighlly  Review. 


Shakespeare  made  East. — The  histori- 
cal plays  of  Shakespeare  have  been  freely 
handled  by  all  sorts  of  adapters  at  every  period 
since  his  own.  Nahum  Tate,  who  assisted  Dr. 
Nicholas  Brady  in  turning  the  "  Psalms  of 
David  *'  into  doggerel,  and  who  wrote  a  su- 
premely dull  continuation  of  Dryden's  '*  Absolom 
and  Achitophel,"  got  into  hot  w«ter  by  his  impu- 
dent distortion  of  the  '*  History  of  Kichard  II.," 
under  the  title  of  the  "  Sicilian  Ustxrper,"  the 
performance  of  which  was  prohibited ;  and  ho 
published  his  precious  work  in  1681,  with  a 
prefatory  '*  Epistle  in  Vindication  of  the  Au- 
thor." This  quarto  is  now  valuable  for 
its  scarcity,  and  only  for  its  scarcity, 
the  reader  may  be  sure.  A  thrice- 
dyed  bibliomaniac  must  be  he  who  would  bid 
for  a  copv  under  the  hammer  of  the  auctioneer. 
Lewis  Theobald,  in  1720.  altered  this  same 
tragedy  of  "Richard  IT.,*'  and  about  5(r"years 
later  another  alteration  was  printed  at  Manches- 
ter for  James  Goodhall,  who  tells  us  on  his  title- 
page  that  he  has  "  imitated  the  style"  of  Shake- 
speare in  the  interpolated  matter.  Betterton, 
the  actor,  made  considerable  alterations  in  both 
the  first  and  second  parts  of  "  Henry  IV."  He 
revived  the  first  part  at  the  theatre  in  Lincoln's 
Inn  Fields,  in  1/00.  calling  it  a  "  tragi-c^medy," 
and  bringing  into  prominence  on  his  bill  "  the 
Humors  of  Sir  John  Faistaff."  I  can  find  no 
record  of  his  having  produced  the  second  part, 
but  there  is  an  octavo  acting  edition,  witnout 
date,  bearing  this  title,  "  Tho  Sequel  of 
Hepry  IV.,  with  the  Humors  of  Sir  John 
Palstaflf  and  Justice  Shallow ;  as  it  is 
acted  by  his  Maiosty's  company  of  comedians 
at  the  Theatre  Royal  in  Drury  Lane.  Altered 
from  Shakespeare  by  the  late  Mr.  Betterton." 
All  the  three  parts  of  **  Henry  VL"  have  been 
mangled  and  maltreated  moro  or  less.  John 
Crowne  doctored  the  first  and  second  parts  for 
the  Duke's  Theatre^  bestowing  on  them  addi- 
tional titles,  which,  in  the  parlance  of  our  time, 
would  probably  be  called  **  sensational."  Then 
came  Ambrose  Phillips,  with  his  Drury  Lane 
tragedy  of  '*  Humfrey,  Duke  of  Gloucester,"  in 
which  **a  few  speeches  and  lines  only"  were 
taken  from  Shakespeare.  The  Gibbers  followed, 
as  we  have  seen.  I  do  not  think  that  anybody  but 
CoUey  Cibber  dealt  notably  with  "Richard  IU." 
As  for  "  Henry  VIIL,"  its  principal  alterations 
belong  to  our  own  era,  and  are  limited  to  cur- 
tailments. Sometimes  it  ends  with  the  fall  of 
Wolsey,  sometimes  with  the  death  of  Queen 
Katherine. — TinsUy'i  Magazine. 


The  Future  op  the  English  Tubf. — The 
recent  death  of  Admiral  Rous,  and  the  public 
accession  of  the  Prince  of  Wales  to  tho  turf,' 
conspire  to  direct  renewed  atteiftion  to  the  horse 
as  an  instrument  of  gambling.  What  part  the 
Prince  proposes  to  play  in  the  paddock  has  not 
transpired ;  that  he  cannot  fill  the  rdle  of  the 
brave  old  Admiral,  who  for  so  long  a  period 
acted  as  a  law-giver  to  the  Jockey  Club  and  the 
racing  world,  may  be  taken  for  granted  ;  while 
the  odds  are,  to  use  the  slang  of  the  race-course, 
that  his  Royal  Highness  may  be  made  as  pro- 
noimced  a  centre  of  turf  intrigue  as  another 
royal  personage  who  kep  b  race-horses 
some  86  years  ago.  The  wise  counsels  of 
the  Admiral  will  be  missed  in  the  Legislature 
of  the  race-course.  His  Bandrbook  of  the  Laws 
of  Racing  is  the  text-book  on  the  subject.  He 
was  a  foe  to  the  frauds  of  the  turf,  no  matter 
what  shape  they  might  assume,  or  "by  whomso-

Mall  Gazette  said,  the  other  day,  "  those  who 
were  responsible  for  the  management  of  the 
horses  belonging  to  the  late  Marquis  of  Hast-

of  *the  spider  and  ^e  fly.'  *'  Now  that  the  Ad- 
miral is  dead,  '*turf  reforms"  are  spoken 
of,  and  it  is  asserted  that  but  for  the 
optimism  and  obstlnancy  of  the  deceased 
many  improvements  in  racing  would  ere  now 
have  been  instituted.  We  trust  such  changes 
as  are  proposed  will  be  "reforms."  There  are 
some,  as  we  have  endeavored  to  show,  which 
are  much  required.  It  is  questionable  if  recent

ation  of  the  betting  nuisance.  If  betting  has 
been  lessened  in  any  degree  in  large  towns — 
which  we  doubt — becaits*  of  the  suppression  of 
ready-money  wagering,  irhas  certainly  been  in- 
tensified on  the  race-conrseJ  What  the  Legisla- 
ture, at  tho  instance  of  Mr.  George  Anderson  and 
others,  has  seemed  to  do  has  been  to  put  down 
betting  in  crowns  and  encotirage  it  in  sover- 
eigns. That  betting  in  any  shape  is  a  huge 
social  nuisance  there  can  scarcely  be  two  opin- 
ions ;  and  that  unlimited  betting  should  bo  al- 
lowed at  one  place  and  not  at  another,  is  a  strik- 
ing anomaly.  In  consequence,  however,  of 
such  being  the  case,  it  is  asserted  that  there  is 
one  law  for  persons  who  frequent  Croydon  and 
another  for  those  who  attend  at  Newmarket 
We  have  witnessed,  within  tho  last  year  or  two 
the  scandal  of  judges  giving  opposite  decisions 
for  offenses  which  were  exactly  the  some. 
Horae-iracine was  once  the  "sport  of  Kings," 
and  in  England  will  apparently  become  so  again ; 
but  it  haa  sadly  degenerated,  if  it  ever  were 
the  innocent  pastime  which  some  assert  it 
was.  Now  it  is  in  sad  want  of  reform, 
seeing,  to  use  a  quaint  quotation,  that  "  the 
turfis  daisy'd  o'er  with  scandals."  The  run- 
ning of  horses,  as  w^e  have  tried  to  show,  has 
become  surrotmded  by  ^1  kinds>if_aemptation  ; 
the  horse  is  in  the  hands  of  gamblers.  Gentle- 
me7i  degrade  tiiemselves  by  dirtying  their  hands 
with  a  petting-book.  Men  bribe,  and  stable  boys 
become  corrupt  in  consequence  of  the  tnrf  hav- 
ing been  selected  as  one  of  the  places  where  peo- 
ple make  haste  to  be  rich.  The  elements  of 
chicanery  which  now  attend  the  pastime  of 
horae-racing  have  given  it  a  bad  odor,  and  it 
would  be  a  thousand  times  better  that  horse- 
racing  should  altogether  cease,  than  that  the 
race-courses  of  Grtiat  Britain  should  continue  to 
be  seminaries  of  swindling! — The  Contemporary 
Review. 

Sea  or  Mountain? — Who  should  go  to 
the  .mountains  I  who  should  go  to  the  sea  ?  and 
who  should  go  to  neither  ?  I  should  like  to  an^ 
swer  the  last  question  first.  I  believe  there  is 
no  greater  mistake  made  than  that  very  general 
one  of  sending  all  convalescents  to  the  seaside, 
except  the  stUl  greater  one  of  actually  embark- 
ing them  on  a  sea  voyage  !  It  arises  from  the 
very  natural  desire  ^  hasten  convaUscence 
after  acute  disease.  I  am  now  sneaking  ex- 
clusively of  convalescents  from  acute  diseases. 
But  these  unwise  attempts  to  hasten  conva- 
lescence are  the  very  frequent  cause  of  serious 
relapses.  In  the  general  debility  which  follows 
a  fever  or  an  acute  inflammation  all  tlie  organs 
share — the  organs  of  nutrition,  the  s*:cretory, 
the  circulatory,  the  eliminatory  organs, 
are  all  feeble  and  unablu  to  do 
miich  work  without  exhau.^tion.  If  an 
attempt  is  made  to  overstimuli^te  them,  if  an 
appetite  is  induced  before  dieestive  power  has 
been  regained,  a  feverish  state  is  frequently  re- 
excited,  and  the  very  effort  that  has  been  made 
to  hasten  recovery  retards  it  Sea  and  moun- 
tain air  are  alike  too  stimulating  and  exciting 
for  .such  cases.  They  arouse  to  pr»-mHtnre  ac- 
tivity when  the  organism  can  strengthen  itself 
only  by  absolute  repose.  -'How  poor  are  they 
that  have  no  patience"  was  never  so  applicable 
as  to  cases  such  as  these.  Puns  unexciting 
countrv  air.  in  a  locality  where  the  patient  can 
l>e  thoroughly  protected  from  cold  winds,  and 
where  he  can'"  bathe  in  the  sunshine  or  slumbifr 
in  the  shade" — thatis  the  safest  and  best  pl^efor 
the  invalid  to  slowly,  but  steadily,  regain  health 
after  severe  acute  disoase.  St?a  or  mountain  air 
mav.  however,  be  needed  later  on  to  promote 
recover>'  from,  the  chronic  aHections  which  oc- 
casionally follow  acute  ones,  and  then  se-a  air  is 
probably  the  more  appropriate  of  tjiis  two. 
S|>eaking  generally,  those  who  seek  h-iilth  in 
high  mountain  districts  should  lie  capable  of  a 
certain  amount  of  muscular  activity.  Those  who 
suffer  from  greatmusculardebility'aswell  as  gen- 
eral exhaustion,  aud  who  need  absolute  or  almost 
absolute  repose,  are  unsuited  for  mouiitain 
climates.  Such  climates  are  too  rigorous,"  too 
changeful,  too  exciting,  and  the  i^er-sons  to 
whom  I  now  allude,  when  they  find  themselves 
in  the  cold,  rarified,  exciting  mountain  air,  feel 
oxit  of  place  and  become  chilled,  depressed,  and 
dyspeptic.  One  also  finds  such  persons  among 
those  whose  desire  for  jnenlal  activity 
Is  somewhat  in  excess  of  their  men- 
tal power,  especially  wben  this  is 
combined  with  a  feeble  physirpie ;  or  among 
those  who  incessantly  and  heedlessly  work  a 
strong  though  not  exceptionally  vig(»n»us  brain. 
Such  ptersons  need  for  a  time  much  repose,  and 
they  will  find  renovation  with  repose  by  the  .'«ea, 
or,  still  better,  in  a  yachting  trip  on  the  sea. 
There  are  otiiers,  however,  who.  with  vigorous 
frames  and  much  actual  or  latent  power  of  mus- 
cular activitv,  become  mentally  exhutisted  by 
the  strain  of  incessant  mental  labor,  anxious 
cares,  or  absorbing  occupations.  Mental  irritu- 
bility  usually  accompanies  this  e.xhaustiou. 
great  depression  of  spirits,  with  unrest  of  mind 
and  body.  These  are  the  typical  cases  for  the 
mountains.  The  stimulus  aud  obj'rct  which 
they  afford  to  muscular  exertion  ;  the  bi-aciug 
atmosphere  rousing  the  physical  energies  and 
re-awakening  the  sense  of  powers  unimpaired 
and  unexhausted ;  the  soothing  effect  of  the  q  uiet 
and  stillness  of  high  mountain  regions,  and  the 
absence  of  the  human  crowd  ;  all  these  influ- 
ences bring  rest  and  renovation  to  the  over- 
worn min<£  It  is  important  to  remember  that 
the  same  individual  may,  at  different  times 
and  under  different  conditions,  be  differently 
affected  by  sea  and  mountain  air.  If  he  happens 
to  be  the  victim  of  an  irritable  and  exhausted 
nervous  system,  the  resvilt  of  over.*;train.  he  \rill,- 
probablv.  be  benefited  by  removal  to  the  moun- 
tains ;  if.  on  the  other  hand,  he  shonld  be 
slowly  recovering  from  chronic  disease,  and 
especially  from  certain  surgical  maladies,  or 
after  siirgical  operation,  where  the  pro- 
cesses of  tissue  change  require  hasten- 
ing, without  necessitating  any  activity  in  the 
gatient  himself,  then  he  should  go  to  the  sea. 
ea  air  is  better  suited  than  mountain  air  to 
persons  who  cannot  bear  great  and  sudden 
changes  of  temperature,  as  is  tho  case  with  most 
of  those  who  suffer  from  grave  chronic  mala- 
dies,'as  well  as  with  many  others.  If.  however, 
it  should  turn  out.  as  suggested  by  Prof.  Beneke, 
that  rtwefied  air  is  a  bad  conductor  of  heat,  we 
can  readily  understand  why  a  high  degree  of 
cold  at  a  great  olevation  should  exercise  a  much 
less  injurious  and  depressing  effect  on  the  ani- 
mal organism  than  the  same  degree  of 
cold  at  the  level  of  the  sea.  A  certain 
morbid  sensitiveness  to  cold,  or  rather 
to  "taking  cold,"  is  often  greatly  lessened 
Dy  a  residence  in  the  bracing,  rarefied  air 
of  elevated  localities,  and  the  same  good  effects 
are  also  to  be  obt-ained  by  sucl*  persons  from  ex- 
posure to  a  bracing  sea  air,  especially  if  accom- 
panied by  sea-bathing.  Speaking  within  very 
wide  limits,  mountain  air  is  less  suitable  to  per- 
sons advanced  in  years  than  sea  air.  The  very 
stimulus  to  muscular  exertion  which  moun- 
tain air  produces  is  to  persons  much  j>ast  mid- 
dle life  often  a  pitfall  and  a  snare.  Qui  va 
doticemeni,  ra  loin  is  especially  applicable  to  this 
period  of  life,  and  the  state  of  feverish  activity 
which  is  sometimes  induced  in  aged  persons  in 
the  mountains  is  not  by  anvj  means  for  their 
good-— i>r.  Bumey  Yeo — TheFortnightly Review. ^ 

Chzss. — The  late  Mr.  Buckle,  after  a  day's 
work  upon  The  History  of  Civilization,  is  said  to 
have  thought  nothing  of  spending  half  the  night 
over  the  chess-board,  and  probably  never  mated 
hia  adversary  with  more  ease  and  rapidity  than 
after  writiug  a  slashing  chapter  upon  the  -dnoien 
Riaime-.  But  we  may  be  permitted  to  doubt 
whether  the  superfluity  of  mental  force  is  to  be 
found  in  all  or  any  of  Mr.  Btickle's  contempora- 
ries and  successors.  Such  was  not  the  opin- 
ion of  the  ■  late  Mr.  Staunton,  who 
often  regretted  that  his  early  passion 
for  the  game  of  chess  prevented  him 
in  later  life  from  doing  full  justice  to  his  powers 
in  other  paths.  Chess  requires  from  those  who 
seek  excellence  so  exclusive  a  cultus  that  no 
other  pursuit  can  be  prosecuted  at  the  same 
time  with  even  equal  intgrest  This  explains 
why  no  man  of  great  and  commanding  genius 
has  ever  been  at  the  same  time  a  great  player. 
Napoleon  was  passionately  fond  of  the  game, 
but  he  was  never  even  a  second-class  player. 
A  senior  wrangler  might  probably  liave 
to  receive  largo  odds  from  the  winner 
of  the  •'wooden  spoon,"  even  though  bo^ 
had  learned  the  game  at  the  same  time. 
For  success  in  chess  depends  upon  the  amount 
of  the  qualities,  mental  or  moral,  which  can  be 
concentrated  on  the  chess-board.  The  game 
must  be  played  as  if  ^e  stake  were  life  and 
death.  The  exact  mediimi  between  excessive 
caution  and  audacity,  which  so  few  Generals 
have  practiced,  must -be  invariably  pursued  in 
the  man^emeut  of  so  many  bits  of  wood  or 
ivory.  Now,  it  is  no  paradox  to  assert  that  a 
man  of  vast  genius — a  Bacon,  or  a  Descartes,  or 
a  Milton — could  not  throw  his  soul  into  such  a 
task.  Mr.  Gladstone  could  not  construct  a  chess 
plan  with  the  care  and  minuteness  with  which 
he  would  construct  a  budget  Gen.  Ig- 
natieff  coiUd  not  devote  the  same  ingenuity 
in  concealing  a  deadly  onslaught  upon  the  ad- 
versary's chess-king  that  he  might  have  dis- 
played on  hour  before  in  dealing  with  a  fellow- 
ambassadon.  We  must  pass  down  the  intellec- 
tual scale,  therefore,  until  precisely  tliat  point 
is  reached  where  victory  in  a  game  of  skill  can 
attract  and  enlist  all  that  tho  man  possesses  of 
invention,  knowledge,  patience,  audacity,  and 
resource.  Add  to  these  a  fair  physical  constitu- 
tion, to  endure  a  V2  hours*  sitting  if  necessary, 
an  absolute  freedom  from  irritability  and  ner- 
Tonsness,  and  a  complete  knowledge  of  the 
ttkfiQCTA&dtRno^^  tii$  sftme.    The  product.

Brought  akd  Famine  •  in  India.— The 
drought,  and  consequent  scarcity,  which  have 
afOicted  so  lai^  an  area  of  India  dtiring  the 
past  and  the  present  year  are  phenomena  of  tin- 
ustxal  gravity.  They  are  not,  it  is  true,  unex- 
ampled. But  H  Is  the  very  fact  of  their  occur-

a  frequency  wldch  is  only  the  more  apparent  the 
more  carefully  the  history  of  the  country  is  in-

aspect  of  the  subject  Good  and  bad  years,  iuj

ed as  capricipns,althonghithas  been  reduced  toa

cordant with  this  general  law,  which  affects 
alike  the  green  crops  and  the  cereals  of  England, 
the  vineyards  of  France,  and  the  olive  gardens 
of  Italy,  that  the  very  conditions  which 
stimulate  the  Inxtzriance  of  the  heaviest  crops, 
aggravate  the  evils  of  years  of  misf  orttine.  The 
powerful  influence  of  the  rays  of  the  sun  in 
stimulating  the  process  of  the  organic  chemistry

the  close  vicinity  of  that  main  source  of 
sTipply  that  the  cooling  anft  attracting'* 
effect  of  lofty  mountain  chains  is  most-^ 
sudden  and  most  apparent,  and  that  the 
most  violent  precipitation  ensues.  The 
ranges  of  mountains  that  line  the  western  coasts 
of  the  Indian  Peninsula  to  the  north  of  the 
Gulf  of  Cambay,  of  British  Burmah,  and  of 
Siam.  are  annually  watered  by  more  than  100 
inches  of  rain.  Nor  is  the  quantity  of  the  wa- 
ter supply  its  most  important  feature.  Its  regu- 
larity is  periodic.  As  the  sun  crosses  the  equi- 
noctial line  the  winds  fellow  in  its  course.  The 
Nile  rises,  almost  to  a  day,  on  the  fall  of  the 
solstitial  rains  in  Abyssinia.  And  the  arrival  of 
the  Indian  monsoons,  or  trade  winds,  which 
bring  rain  on  their  wings,  is  anticipated  to  oc- 
cur with  a  regularity  nearly  as  exact  as  that 
which  characterizes  the  changes  due  to  the  com- 
plex cycle  of  the  moon.  When,  from  causes 
which  science  has  not  as  yet  grasped,  this 
punctuality  of  water  supply  la  interfered- with, 
the  heat  which  would  have  stimtdated  the 
growth  of  the  well- watered  plant,  parches  and 
withers  the  vegetation  of  an  arid  soil.  For  the 
culture  of  rice,  and  of  other  main  crops  of  In- 
dian agriculture,  not  only  a  minimum  quantity 
of  rain  is  necessary,  but  a  certain  distribution 
of  that  quantity  according  to  the  age  of  the 
young  plants  is  indispensable  to  their  welfare. 
And  thus  it  occurs  that  when  those  disturb- 
ances of  the  normal  course  of  the  monsoon  rains ' 
of  which  we  speak  attain  a  certain  gravity,  veg- 
etation in  the  stricken  districts  is  partly  or 
li^tally  cut  off.  The  famine  of  the  year  1877  is  at 
least  the  eighteenth  of  those  which  have  affected 
India  since  the  commencement  of  the  British 
rule,  and  the  fourteenth  during  the  present 
centur>'.  The  dates  of  themost  serious  famines 
on  record  may  be  most  conveniently  exhibited 
in  a  tabular  form.

Illitstrioijs  Pigs. — In  the  correspondence 
of  the  Princess  Palatine  there  is  a  marvelous 
account  of  the  capacities  of  Louis  for  the  as- 
similation of  food.  **  I  have  often  seen  him," 
writes  the  Princess,  "eat  four  large  plates  full 
of  different  soups,  a  whole  pheasant,  a  partridge, 
a  large  plate  of  salad,  two  large  slices  of  ham, 
some  mutton  dressed  with  garlic  sauce,  a  plate 
of  pastry,  and  then  some  fruit  and  hard-boiled 
eggs."  Perhaps  one  could  forgive  much  iti 
such  a  dinner,  but  to  wind  up  with  hard-boiled 
eggs  seems  wholly  indefensible.  In  any  case  it 
was  one  of  those  meals  over  which  Elia  would 
have  forbidden  the  saying  of  grace,  tinless  it  • 
were  such  a  prayer  as  La  Tolone,  a  gentleman, 
of  Touraine.  was  in -the  habit  of  offering  up*^" 
after  every  copious  repast — and  all  his  repasts 
were  copious — '*  Lord,  g^ve  me  grace  to  well 
digest  what  I  have  eaten."  It  is  reported 
of  this  same  worthy  that  he  regarded  all  things 
human,  and  apparently  all  things  divine  as 
well,  from  the  sole  point  of  view  of  their  bear- 
ing upon  dinner.  **It  will  be  a  fine  day  for  a 
walk,  said  some  one  in  his  hearing."  **  Yes, 
and  a  fine  one  /or  eating."  quoth  La  Tolone. » 
Among  royal  gluttons,  by  the  way,  few  seem  to 
have  equaled  the  Emperor  Claudius  Albinns, 
whose  usual  breakfast  consisted  of  500  figs, 
100  peaches,  10  melons.  100  beccaflcoes,  four 
dozen  oysters,  and  a  quantity  of  grapes.  The 
Emperor  Maximinus  gorged  lumself  very  much 
in  the  same  fashion,  and  ultimately*egrew  so  fat 
that  his  wife's  bracelets  served  him  excellently 
instead  of  rings.  Kings,  alas!  are  often  outdone 
by  their  subjects.  Thus  we  read  of  a  comedian, . 
P'hagon  by  name,  who,  in  the  presence  of  the 
Emperor  Aujrelian,  devoured  a  wild  boar,  a 
sheep,  a  sucking  pig,  and  lOO  rolls,  be-

ing  to  the  Nuites  Parunennes,  which,  however, 
are  not  written  with  that  strict  accuracy  which 
is  characteristic  of  the  works  of  Hallam  and 
Grote,  there  was  once  a  woman  of  Syria  who 
daily  consumed  30  chickens,  1  and  complained 
she  could  never  get  enough  ;  but  it  is  stated  that 
Macedonius  enmi  her  of  this  inordinate  appe- 
tite by  making  her  drink  holy  water.  Perhaps 
the  woman  was  as  mythical  as  the  French  sol- 
dier who  is  the  hero  of  the  following  (and  wholly 
unedifying)  story.  A  discussion  had  eaisen  at 
a  dinner-party  as  to  the  capacities  of  the  human 
stomach,  and  whether,  indeed,  as  there  seemed 
almost  reason  to  believe,  it  was  capable  of  in- 
definite expansion.  After  some  surprising  feats 
of  gluttony  had  been  narrated,  an  of&cer  in  the 
Royal  Guard  said  he  quite  believed  them,  for 
he  had  a  'Kbldier  in  his  company  who  could  eat 
a  whole  calf  at  a  sitting,  and  think  very  little  of 
the  achievement.  The  company  laughed,  but 
the  officer  assured  them  he  was  serious,  and  a 
heavy  bet  was  the  result  On  the  appointed  day 
the  Turtles  repaired  to  a  restaurant,  and  the 
soldier  was  soon  seated  at  table.  The  officer  had 
been  careful  to  order  that  the  different 
portions  of  the  calf  should  be  served  in 
a  variety  of  appetizing  forms.  The  soldier 
dispatched  one  (ush  after  another  with  astonish- 
ing rapidity.  Those  who  had  betted  against  his 
powers  were  losing  all  hope,  when  he  was  ob- 
served at  the  seventh  or  eighth  dish  to  look 
grave.  "-Ah!  pa  rtion  capitantf,''  he  objected, 
•*  I  think  it  is  high  time  for  them  to  serve  the 
veal,  otherwise  I  can't  answer  for  my  being 
able  to  make  you  win  your  bet"  He  had  thought 
that  all  the  previous  dishes  were  merely  intend- 
ed to  serve  as  stimulants  to  his  appetite,  which 
having  been  made  apparent,  the  other  side  ex- 
pressed themselves  ready  to  pay  at  once.  The 
story  reminds  one  of  the  English  farmer,  who, 
after  dispatching  a  score  or  so  of  apple  dump- 
lings, observed  that  they  were  very  good,  and 
that  some  day  he  would  come  and  make  *'  a. 
regular-meal  of  them." — The  ComkUl Magazine,^

the  Italians  have  •  a  proverb  *tthat,  in  these

Mastai-Ferretti  canke  more  and,  more  distinctly 
to  the  front,  Gizzi  disappeared  from  the  lists, 
and  Lambruschini  fell  hopelessly  into  the  rear. 
But  if  Lambruschini  could  only  have  kept  open

displaced  his  rival,  and'periuips  have  puucetd  the 
tiara  upon  his  own  brows,  or,  if  not  th<a^ 
mightat  least  have  placed  it  upon  the  brows  of 
his  friend  Pranzoni  :  for  5Sastai-Ferretti  was  in 
bad  odor  with  the  court-of  Austria  on  account

and  the  railway  havo  put  an  end  to  all  riek  of 
anything  of  this  kind  happening  again;  for

CHAPTER  I. 
In  the  hey-day  of  the  Emperor  Anrelian*s 
greatness,  when  bis  strong  right  ann  propped 
Kome  up,  and  hewed  Palmyra  down,  when  he 
Burrounded  his  capital  with  walls  50  miles  in 
circuit,  and  led  Tetricns  and  Zenobia  in  triumph 
through  its  streets,  and  distributed  elephants 
among  the  senators,  and  laid  Etruria  out  in 
vineyards,  and  contemplated  in  leisure  moments 
the  suppression  of  Christianity  as  a  subordinate 
detail  of  administration,  a  mere  ripple  on  the 
broad  ocean  of  his  policy — at  this  period  Bahrara 
the  First,  King  of  Persia,  naturally  became  dis- 
quieted in  his  mind. 

■*  This  upstart  soldier  of  fortune," 'reflected 
he,  *'  has  an  unseemly  habit  of  overcoming  and 
leading  captive  legitimate  Princes  ;  thus-  preju- 
dicing Divine  right  in  the  eyes  of  the«vulgar. 
The  skin  of  his  predecessor  Valerian,  .curried 
and  stuffed  with  straw,  hangs  to  this  hour  in 
the  temple  at  Ctesiphon,  a  pleasing  spectacle  to 
the  immortal  gods.  How  would  my  own  skin 
appear  in  the  temple  of  Jupiter  CapitoHnns  I 
This  must  not  be.  I  will  send  an  embassy  to 
him,  and  impress  birn  with  my  greatne&s.  But 
how  ?" 

He  accordingly  convoked  his  counselors  ;  the 
viziers,  the  waigiors,  the  magi,  the  philosophers, 
and  addressed  them  thus  : 

'*  The  King  deigns  to  consult  ye  touching  a 
difficult  matter.  I  would  flatter  the  pride  of 
Rome  without  lowering  the  pride  of  Persia.  I 
would  propitiate  Aurellan,  and  at  the  same  time 
humble  him.  How  shall  this  be  accomplished  ?'^ 
The  viziers,  the  warriors,  and  the  magi  an- 
swered not  a  word,  Unbroken  silence  reitrued 
In  the  assembly,  until  the  turn  came  to-the  sage 
Marcobad,  who,  prostrating  himself,  said,  "O 
King,  live  for  ever  I  In  ancient  times,  as  hath 
been  delivered  by  our  ancestors,  Persians  were 
instructed  in  three  accomplishments,  toride,  to 
draw  the  bow,  and  to  speak  the  truth.  Persia 
still  rides  and  shoots:  truth-speaking  praised 
beOrmuzd!)  she  hath  discontinued  as  unbefit- 
ting an  enlightened  nation.  Thou  neediest  not, 
,  therefore,  scniDle  to  rtrcnmvent  Anrellazi.  Of- 
fer him  that  which  thou  knowest  will  -  not  be 
found  in  his  treasury,  seeing  that  it  is -unique 
in  thine  own  ;  giving  him,  at  the  same  time,  to 
understand  that  it  is  tlie  ordinary  produce  of 
thy  dominions.  So.  while  rejoicing  at  the  gift, 
shall  he  be  abashed  at  his  inferiority.  I  refer 
to  the  purple  robe  of  her  Majesty  the  Queen, 
the  like  of  which  is  not  tao  be  found  in  the  whole 
earth,  neither  do  any  know  where  the  dye  that 
Hnses  it  is  produced,'  save  that  it  proceeds  from 
the  uttermost  parts  of  India." 

*•  I  approve  thy  advice,"  replied  Bahram, 
*'  and  in  return  will  save  thy  life  by  banishing 
thee  from  my  dominions.  When  my  august 
consort  shall  learn  t^at  thou  hast  been  the 
means  of  depriving  her  of  her  robe,  she  will  un- 
doubtedly request  that  thou  mayest  be  flayed, 
and  thou  knowest  that  I  can  deny  her  nothing. 
I  therefore  counsel  thee  to  depart  with  all  pos- 
sible swiftness.  Repair  to  the  regions  where 
^he  purple  is  produced,  and  if  thou  returnest 
with  an  adequate  jmpp^,  I  undertake  that  my 
royal  sceptre  shall  be  graciously  extended  to 
thee." 

The  philosopher  forsook  the  royal  presence 
with  celerity,  and  his  office  of  chief  examiner 
of  court  spikenard  was  bestowed  nponanotber  ; 
as  also  his  house  and  his  jrarden,  his  gold  and 
his  silver,  his  wives  and  his  concubines,  his 
;:amels  and  his  asses,  which  were  numerous, 

While  the  solitary  adventurer  wended  his 
way  eastward,  a  gorgeous  embassy  traveled 
westward  in  the  direction  of  Rome. 

Arrived  in  the  presence  of  Aurelian,  and  at 
the  conclusion  of  his  complimentary  harangue, 
the  chief  envov  produced  a  cedar  casket,  from 
which  he  drewa  purple  robe  of  such  surpassing 
refulgence  that,  in  the  words  of  the  historian 
who  has  recorded  the  transaction,  the  purple  of 
the  Emperor  and  of  the  matrons  appeared  ashy 
jjray  in  comparison.  It  was  aecompanied  by  a 
lytter  thus  conceived: 

"  Bahram  to  Aurelian  Thealth.  Receive  such 
purple  as  we  have  in  Persia." 

'•Persia,  forsooth!"  exclaimed  Sorianus.  a 
voung  philosopher  versed  in  natural  science, 
''this  purple  never  was  in  Persia,  except  as  a 
rarity-  O  the  mendacity  -and  vanity  of  these 
Orientals  !'* 

The  Ambassador  was  berfnning  an  angry  re- 
plv.  when  Aurelian  quelled  the  dispute  with  a 
took,  and  with  some  awkwardness  delivered 
himself  of  a  brief  oration  in  acknowledgment 
af  the  (rift.  He  took  no  more  notice  of  the  mat- 
ter until  nightfall,  when  he  setnt  for  Sorianus, 
ind  inquired  where  the  purple.actually  was  pro- 
duced. 

"In  the  uttermost  parts  of  nndia,"  returned 
the  philosopher. 

"Well,"  rejoined  Aurelian,  summing  up  the 
matter  with  his  accustomed  rapidity  and  clear- 
ness of  head,  "  either  thou  or  the  Persian, 
King  has  lied  to  me,  it  is  plain,  and,  by  the  fa- 
vor of  the  gods,  it  is  Immaterial  which,  seeing 
that  my  ground  for  poing  to  war  with  him,  is 
equally  good  in  either  case.  If  he  has  sought 
to  deceive  me,  I  am  right  in  punishing  him  ;  if 
he  possesses  what  I  lack.  I  am  justified  in  tak- 
ing it  away.  It  would,  however,  be  convenient 
to\now  which  of  these  grounds  to  inscribe  in 
my  manifesto  ;  moreover,  I  am  not  ready  for 
hostilities  at  present ;  having  first  to  extirpate 
the  Blemmyes,  Carpi,  and  other  barbarian  ver- 
'  min.  I  will  therefore  dispatch  thee  to  India  to 
ascertidn  by  personal  examination  the  truth 
about  the  purple.  Do  not  return  without  It,  or 
I  must  cut  off  thy  head.  My  treasury  will 
charge  Itself  with  the  administration  of  thy 
property  during  thy  absence.  The  robe  shall 
meanwhile  be  deposited  in  the  temnle  of  Jupi- 
ter Capitolinus.  ilay  he  have  it  and  thee  in  his 
holy  keeping  !    Leave  my  presence !" 

Thus,  in  that  ace  of  darkness,  wet«  two  most 
-eminent philosophers  reduced  ro  beggary,  and 
constrained  to  wander  in  remote  and  Insalu- 
briotia  regions— the  one  for  advising  a  King,  the 
other  for  instructinff  an  Emperot-.  But  the 
matter  did  not  rest  here-  For  Aurelian,  hav- 
ing continued  the  visible  deity  of  half  the  world 
for  150  days  after  thfi  departure  of  Sorianus, 
Was  slain  hy  his  own  Generals.  To  him  enc- 
ceeded  Tacitus,  who  sank  oppressed  by  the 
Knight  of  rule  ;  to  hifli  Probtis.  who  perished 
In  a  mllitajT  tumult ;  to  him  Cams,  Who  was 
killed  by  Hgntnlng;  to  him  Carlnus,  who  was 
iBsassinattflbyone whomhe  had  wronged;  to 
Mm  Dibdet&n-  who,  having  maintained 
himself  for .  20  yeatv  Wisely  forbore 
to  tempt  JTemsfiifi  ftirthei',  and  ntired 
to     pint     eabbages    At    Stfdbna.     All   thMe 


every  other  respect,  agreed  in  a  common  desire 
to  poase&s  the  purple  dye,  and  when  the  philoso- 
pher returned  not,  successively  dispatched  new 
emissaries  in  quest  of  it.  Strange  was  the  di- 
versity of  fate  which  befell  these  envoys.'  Some 
fell  into  the  jaws  of  lions,  some  were  crushed 
by  monstrous  serpents,  some  trampled  by  ele- 
phants at  the  command  of  native  Princes,  some 
perished  of  hunger,  and  some  of  thirst ;  some, 
encountering  smooth-browed  and  dark-tressed 
girls,  wreathing  their  hair  with  the  champak 
blossom  or  bathing  by  moonlight  in  lotus-man- 
tled tanks,  forsook  their  quest,  and  led  thence- 
forth idyUlc  lives  in  groves  of  banian  and  of 
palm.  Borne  became  enamored  of  the -principles 
of  the  Gymnosophists,  some  couched  them- 
selves for  uneasy  slumber  upon  beds 
of  spikes,  weening  to  wake  in  the 
twenty-second  heaven.  AU  which  ro- 
mantio  variety  of  fortune  was  the 
work  of  a  diminutive  insect  that  crawled  or 
clung,  heedless  of  the  purple  ttiat  it  was  wear- 
ing into  the  many-colored  web  of  human  life. 

CHAPTER  II. 

Some  30  years  after  the  departure  of  the  Per- 
sian Embassy  to  Aurelian,  two  travelers  met  at 
the  bottom  of  a  dell  in  trans-Gangetic  India, 
having  descended  the  hill-brow  by  opposite 
paths.  It  was  early  morning ;  the  sun  had  not 
yet  surmounted  the  timbered  and  tangled  sides 
of  the  little  valley,  so  that  the  bottom » still  lay 
steeped  in  shadow,  and  flittering  with  large 
pearls  of  limpid  dew,  while  the  oval  space  of 
sky  circumscribed  by  tree  summits  glowed  with 
the  delicate  splendor  of  the  purest  sapphire. 
Songs  of  birds  resounded  through  the  brake, 
aAd  the  water-lilies  which  veiled  the  riv- 
ulet trickling  through  the  depths  of 
the  retreat  were  unexpanded  still.  One 
of  the  wayfarers  was  aged,  the  other  a  man  of 
the  latest  period  of  middle  life.  *1  heir  raiment 
was  scanty  and  soiled  ;  their  frames  and  coun- 
tenances alike  bespoke  fatigue  and  hardship  ; 
tfut  while  the  elder  one  moved  with  moderate 
dflaerity,  the  other  shuffled  painfully  along  by 
the  help  of  a  staff,  shrinking  every  time  that 
he  placed  either  of  his  feet  on  the  ground. 

They  exchanged  looks  and  greetings  as  they 
encountered,  and  the  more  active  of  the  two, 
-whose  face  was  set  in  an  easterly  direction,  ven- 
tured a  compassionate  allusion  to  the  other's 
apparent  distress, 

'■  I  but  suffer  from  the  usual  effects  of  cruci- 
fixion," returned  the  other;  and  removing  his 
sandals,  displayed  two  wounds,  completely  pene- 
trating each  foot. 

The  Cross  had  not  yet  announced  victory  to  Con- 
stantine.  and  was  as  yet  no  pa.ssport  to  respectable 
society.  The  first  traveler  drew  back  hastily, 
and  regarded  his  companion  with  surprise  and 
suspicion. 

*' I  see  what  is  passin°:  in  thy  mind,"  resumed 
the  latter  with  a  smile;  "but  be  under  no  ap- 
prehension. I  have  not  undergone  the  censure 
of  any  judicial  tribunal.  My  crucifixion  was 
merely  a  painful  but  necessary  incident  in  my 
laudable  enterprise  of  obtaining  the  marvelous 
purple  dye,  to  which  end  I  was  dispatched  xinto 
these  regions  by  the  Emperor  Aurelian." 

"  The  purple  dye!"  exclaimed  the  old  Per- 
sian, for  it  was  he.     "  Thou  hast  obtained  it  i" 

"I  have.  It  is  the  product  of  insects  found 
only  in  a  certain  valley  eastward  f roni  hence,  to 
obtain  access  to  which  it  is  before -all  things 
needful  to  elude  the  vigilance  of  seven  drag- 
ons."" 

"  Thou  didst  elude  them  ?  and  afterward  7  in- 
quired Marcobad  with  eagerness. 

"Afterward."  repeated  Sorianus,  "'I  made 
my  way  into  the  valley,  wlrere  I  descried  the 
remains  of  my  immediate  predecessor  affixed  to 
a  cross," 

**Thy  predecessor !"' 

*•  He  who  had  last  made  the  attempt  before 
me.  Upon  any  one's  penetrating  the  Valley  of 
Purple,  as  it  is  terraea.  with  the  design  I  have 
indicated,  the  inhabitants,  observant  of  the 
precepts  of  their  ancestors,  append  him  to  a 
cross  by  the  feet  only,  confinintj  his  arms  by 
ropes  at  the  shoulders,  and  setting  vessels  of 
cooling  drink  within  his  p^rasp.  If,  overcome 
with  thirst,  he  partakes  of  the  beverage,  they 
leave  him  to  expire  at  leisure ;  if  he  endures  for 
three  days,  he  is  permitted  to  depart  with  the 
object  of  his  quest.  !My  predecessor,  belong- 
ing, as  I  conjecture,  to  the  Epicurean  persu.'i- 
sion.  and  consequently,  unable  to  resist  the 
allure:  -Mit-^  of  sense,  had  perij*hed  in  the  man- 
ner aforesaid.  I,  a  .Stoic,  refrained  and  at- 
tained." 

'*  Thon  didst  bear  away  the  tincture !  thou 
hast  it  now  /"  impetuously  interrogated  the  Per- 
sian. 

"  Behold  it !"  replied  the  Greek,  exhibiting  a 
small  flask  filled  with  the  most  j^orgeous  purple 
liquid.  '*  What  seesT.  thou  here  ?*'  demanded 
he  triumphantly,  holdinq:  it  up  to  the  li^ht. 
"  To  me  this  \'ial  displays  the  University  of 
Athens,  and  throngs  of  fair  youths  hearkenin;? 
to  the  discourse  of  one  who  resembles  myself." 

•*  To  ray  vision,''  responded  the  Persian,  peer- 
ing at  the  vial,  "  it  rather  revrals  a  palace,  and 
a  dress  of  honor.  But  suffer  me  to  contemplate 
it  more  closely,  for  my  eyes  have  waxed  dim  by 
over  application  to  study,'' 

So  saying,  he  snatched  the  flask  from  Sorianus, 
and  immediately  turned  to  fly.  The  Greek 
sprang  after  his  treasure,  and  failing 
to  grasp  Maroobad's  wrist.  siozed  his 
beard,  plucking  the  hair  out  by  hand- 
fiils.  The  infuriated  Persian  smoto  him 
on  the  head  with  the  crystal  flagon.  It  burst 
into  shivers,  and  the  priceless  contents  eu.sbed 
forth  in  a  torrent  over  the  uncovered  head  and 
uplifted  visage  of  Sorianus,  bathing  every  hair 
and  feature  with  the  most  vivid  purple. 

The  aghast  and  thunderstricken  philosophers 
remained  gazing  at  each  other  for  a  moment. 

"  It  is  indelible  !"  cried  Sorianus  in  distrac- 
tion, rushintr  down,  however,  to  the  brink  of 
the  little  stream,  and  plunging  his  head  be- 
neath the  waters.  They  rarried  away  a  cloud 
of  purple,  but  left  the  purple  head  stained  as 
before. 

The  philosopher,  as  he  upraised  his  glowing 
and  dripping  countenance  from  the  brook,  re- 
sembled Silenua  emerging  from  one  of  the 
riverswhich  Bacchus  metamorphosed  into  wine 
during  his  campaign  in  India.  He  resorted  to 
attrition  and  contrition,  to  maceration  and 
laceration  ;  he  tried  friction  with  leaves,  with 
grass,  with  sed^e,  with  his  garments  ;  he  re- 
garded himself  in  one  crystal  pool  aft-er 
another — a  grotesque  anti-Narcissus.  At  last 
he  ilung  himself  on  the  earth,  ana  gave  free 
course  to  his  anguish. 

The  grace  of  repentance  is  rarely  denied  us 
■when  our  mis'leeds  have  proved  unprofit- 
able.   Marcobad  awkwardly  approached. 

"  Brother,"  he  whispered,  '•  I  will  restore  the 
tincture  of  which  I  have  deprived  thee,  and  add 
thereto  an  antidote,  if  such  may  be  found. 
Await  my  return  under  this  champhor  tree.'* 

So  sajTug,  in  hopes  of  winning  a  supply  of 
the  precious  purple,  he  hastened  up  the  path 
by  which  Sorianus  had  descended,  and  was 
speedily  out  of  sight. 


CHAPTER  in. 

Sorianus  tarried  long  under  the  cham- 
phor tree,  but  at  last,  becoming 
weary,  resumed  his  travels,  imtil 
emerging  from  the  wilderness  he  entered  the 
dominions  of  the  King  of  Ayodhya.  His  ex- 
traordinary appearance  speedily  attracted  the 
attention  of  the  royal  officers,  by  whom  he  was 
apprehended  and  brought  before  his  majesty. 
.  '*  It  is  evident,"  pronounced  the  monarch, 
after  bestowing  his  attention  on  the  case,  "  that 
thou  art  In  the  possession  of  an  object  too  rare 
and  precious  for  a  private  individual,  of  which 
thou  must  accordingly  be  -  deprived-  I  lament 
the  inconvenience  thou  wilt  sustain.  I  must 
have  thy  head  for  my  cabinet  of  curiosities.  I 
would  it  had  been  thy  hand  or  thy  foot" 

Sorianus  acknowledged  the  royal  considerato- 
neas,  but  pleaded  the  indefeasible  right  of 
T^perty  which  he  conceived  himself  to  have 
acquired  in  his  own  head^ 

**  In  respect,"  resx>onded  the  royal  logician, 
"that  thy  head  is  conjoined  to  thy  shoulders, 
it  is  thine  ;  but  in  respect  that  it  is  purple,  it  is 
mln©»  ptirple  being  a  royal  monopoly.  Thy 
claim  is  founded  on  anatomy,  mine  on  juris- 
prudence. Shall  matter  prevail  over  mind  ?  Shall 
medicine,  the  most  uncertain  of  sciences,  override 
law,  the  perfection  of  human  reason  1  It  is  but 
to  the  vmgar  observation  that  thou  appearest  to 
have  a  head  at  all ;  in  the  eye  of  the  law  thou 
art  acephalous." 

'*I  would  sobmit,"  urged  the  philosopher, 
"  that  the  corporal  connection  of  my  head  with 
my  body  is  an  essential  property,  the  color  of  it 
a  fortuitous  accident." 

"Thou  mightest  as  well  contend,"  returned 
the  King,  "that  the  law  is  bound  to  regard  thee 
in  thy  abstract  condition  as  a  human  being,  and 
is  dibbled  of  taking  cognizance  of  thy  acquired 
capacity  of  smuggler — rebel,  I  might  say,  seeing 
that  thou  assumed  the  purple.  That  color  be- 
longs to  Mngs  alone." 

"But  the  Imputation  of  cruelty  which  might 
attach  to  your  majesty's  proceedings  1" 

"  There  can  be  no  cruelty  where  there  is  no 
Injustice.  If  any  there  be,  it  must  be  on  thy 
part,  since,  as  I  have  demonstrated,  so  ta,1\  from 
my  despoiling  thee  of  thy  head,  it  is  thon  who 
inlquitously  withholdest  mine.  I  wiU  labor  to 
render  this  even  clearer  to  thy  apprehension. 
Thon  art  found,  a^thou  must  needa  admit,  in 
poasBssion  .of  a  contraband  article  forfeit  to  the 
crown  by  operation  of  law.  What  then  ?  Shall 
the  intention  of  the  liegislature  be  frustrated 
becaiise  thou  hast  insidiously  rendered  the 
possession  of  my  property  inseparable  from  the 
possession  of  thinel  Shall  I,  an  innocent 
proprietor,  be  mulcted  of  my  right  by  thy  fraud 
ana  covin!  Justice  howls,  righteousness 
we^>8,  integrity  stands  aghast  at  the  bare  notion. 
No,  friend,  thy  head  hath  not  a  leg  to  stand  om 
Wotildst  thou  retain  it,  it  behooves  thee  to 
■how  that  it  will  be  more  servleeable  to  the 
dWbert  iii^ftf^  &3t^i^  ^^^^  ^^  ^oolden  than 


elsewhere.  This  mav  well  be.  H^sb  thou  ner- 
adventure  any  subtleties  in  perfumery  I  any 
secrets  In  confectionery  9  any  ^ill  in  the  prepa^ 
ration  of  soup  ?"  - 

'*  I  have  condescended  to  none  of  these  frivol- 
ities, O  King.  My  study  hath  ever  consisted  in 
divine  philosophy,  whereby  men  are  rendered 
equal  to  the  gcds  V' 

*' And  yet  long  most  of  all  for  purple!"  re- 
torted the  monarch,  '*  as  I  conclude  from  per^ 
ceiving  thou  hast  after  all  preferred  the  latter. 
Thy  head  must  indeed  be  worth  the  taking." 

"  Thy  taunt  is  merited.  O  Kinjr !  I  wiU  im- 
portune thee  no  longer.  Thoti  wilt  indeed  ren- 
der me  a  service  in  depriving  me  of  this 
wretched  head,  hideous  without,  and  I  must 
fear  empty  within,  seeing  that  It  hath 
not  prevented  me  from  wasting  my  life  In  the 
service  of  vanity  and  luxury.  Woe  to  the  sage 
who  trusts  his  infirm  wisdom  and  frail  integ- 
rity within  the  precincts  of  a  court !  Yet  can  I 
foretell  a  time  when  philosophers  shall  no  lon- 
ger run  on  the  futile  and  selfish  errands  of 
Kings,  and  when  Kings  shall  be  suffered  to  rtile 
only  so  far  as  they  obey  the  bidding  of  philoso- 
phers.   Peace,  knowledge,  liberty — " 

The  King  of  Ayodhya  possessed,  beyond  all 
Princes  of  his  age,  the  art  of  gracefully  inter- 
rupting an>  unseasonable  discourse.  He  slightly 
signed  to  a  courtier  in  attendance,  a  cimeter 
flashed  for  a  moment  from  its  scabbard,  and  the 
head  of  Sorianus  rolled  on  the  pavement,  the 
lips  murmuring  as  though  still  striving  to  dwell 
with  inarticulate  fondness  upon  the  last  word 
of  hope  for  mankind. 

It  soon  appeared  that  the  principle  of  life  was 
essential  to  the  resplendence  of  the  Purple  Head. 
Within  a  few  minutes  it  had  assumed  so  ghastly 
a  hue  the  Rajah  himself  was  intimidated,  and 
directed  that  it  should  be  consumed  with  the 
body. 

The  same  full  moon  that  watched  the  white- 
robed  throng  busied  with  the  rites  of  increma- 
tion in  a  grove  of  cocoas,  beheld  also  the  seven 
dragons  contending  for  the  body  of  Marcobad. 
But,  for  many  a  year,  the  maids  and  matrons  of 
Rome  were  not  weary  of  regarding,  extolling, 
and  coveting  the  priceless  purple  tissue  that 
glowed  in  the  fane  of  -lupiter  Capitolinus,  though 
the  name  of  the  barbarian  King  who  had  sent, 
and  the  former  Emperor  who  had  received  it, 
were  obliterated  from  all  memories. — Praser's 
Magazine. 

The  Automatic  Doctrine. — The  fierce 
conflict  to  which  the  discussion  of  automatic 
doctrine  has  given  rise  can  be  readily  under- 
stood and  explained.  It  Is  no  light  matter  to 
assert  that  the  mental  powers  and  intellect  of 
man  are,  after  all,  simply  mat£frial  in  their 
nature  and  origin,  and  that  they  nierely  repre- 
sent a  high  development  and  modification  of 
the  simple  nervous  impressions  seen  in  lower 
states  of  existence.  Yet  there  is  a  latent  truth 
in  this  view  of  -the  matter,  which,  when  recog- 
nized and  brought  into  relation  mth  facts  and 
ideas  external  to  such  a  theory,  presents 
us  with  a  rational  explanation  of  the 
origin  of  man's  mental  nature.  Whatever 
may  have  been  the  orijfiu  of  man's  intellect, 
there  can  firstly  be  no  question  of  the  impassa- 
ble nature  of  the  Rulf  which  exists  between  the 
human  type  of  mind  and  the  instincts  of  all 
other  forms  of  life.  Even  if  man's  total  origin 
from  a  lower  form  or  forms  were  a  proved  fact, 
the  recognition  of  the  fact  could  never  lessen  by 
an  iota  our  estimation  ^^the  infinite  superiority 
of  man,  regarded  as  a-^  thinkinG:<  intelligent 
beinsr,  over  his  nearest  allies.  Preconceived 
notions  and  l<leas  might  and  probably  would 
revolt  aeainst  .such  an  idea  of  the  oriffin  of 
man's  mind  ;  but  the  spirit  of  a  liberal  science 
would  content  itself  with  the  fact 
that  no  con.siderations  regarding  its  ori- 
gin and  development  can  detract  from  the 
high  or  immeasurable  superiority  of  the  human 
over  every  other  type  and  form  of  nervous 
functions.  When  we  inquire  Into  the  existence 
of  automatic  or  instinrtive  acts  amom;  animals, 
we  may  in  the  first  place  be  surprised  to  note 
that  in  the  hydra,  sensitive  although  the  polype 
is  seen  to  be  to  outwur*l  impressions,  no  traces 
of  a  nervous  systsm  or  of  anaIo|!:ous  ortrans  can 
be  disrt'mcd.  The  polypes  are  thus  literally 
sensitive,  \vithout  possessing  any  appreciable  or 
visible  apparatus  fur  exercising  that  sense. 
The  hydra  is.  however,  by  no  means  alone  in 
this  respect.  The  sea  anemones,  which  are 
animals  nearly  related  to  the  hydra,  are  equally 
if  not  more  sensitive  than  the  latter ;  since 
the  anemones  may  be  seen  to  withdraw 
their  tentacles  and  to  contract  their  bodies  on 
being  touched,  or  even  if  the  light  falling  ut>on 
them  bo  suddenly  intercepted,  as  by  the  shadow 
of  a  passing  cloud.  Yet  the  anemones,  like 
hydra,  utterly  want  a  nervous  system.  But 
certain  plants  may  also  not  only  exhibit  symp- 
toms of  irritatiou'or  sensitiveness  when  touched, 
but  may  act  upon  their  sensations— a  feature 
well  exemplified  by  the  drooping  leaflets  and 
leaf-staMi  of  the  sensitive  plant;  by  the  closure 
of  the  leaf  of  the  Venus  flytrap,  and  by  delinite 
movements  of  'contraction  observed  in  other 
plants,  resultinfi;  from  alterations  in  tempera- 
ture. In  plant.-i,  it  is  almost  needless  to  remark, 
no  nervous  system  has  been  demonstrated  to 
exist;  and  no  botanist  ha<t  even  8ugge.«(ted  the 
possibility  of  the  existence  of  nervous  tissues 
within  the  limits  of  the  vei^etable  creation.  Yet, 
tested  by  the  acts  of  their  lives,  we  might  trulv 
say  to  such  plants,  with  Shakespeare — 

' '  .*Vnse  you  have. 
Else  could  you  not  have  motion ; "' 

and,  judging  from  the  sensitiveness  of  theplants 
just  mentioned,  the  conclusion  appears  inevita- 
ble that  plants  possess  means  for  receivinjr  and 
for  acting  upon  sen.sations,  and  that  in  this 
light  they  may  be  fitly  compared  with  the  hydra 
and  all  lower  animals  in  which  a  nervous' sys- 
tem has  not  been  demonstrated  to  exist.  It  is 
perfectly  clear  that  the  acts  of  tliese  plants,  and 
of  such  animals  as  the  hydra  and  sea-anemone, 
must  be  considered  of  a  purely  automatic  kind. 
We  cannot  reasonably  snppose  that  consrlous- 
ness.  or  a  knowledge  of  why  or  how  the  acts  are 
performed,  plays  any  part  in  the  lifv-history 
of  such  fonus.  And  even  if  it  be  maintained 
that  mere  sensation  and  conscionsness  in  this 
case  are  identical  or  closely  allied,  the  latter 
quality  must  l>e  so  far  removed  in  its  nature 
from  the  consciousness  of  humanity  as  to 
render  the  comparison  quite  inadmissible.  -  The 
hydra  and  its  neighbors  are,  in  truth,  automata 
pure  and  simple,  in  that  they  are  stimulated  by 
6»tward  circumstances,  and  respond  to  such 
stimuli  without  possessing  any  appreciation  of 
the  why  and  wherefore  of  any  act  of  their 
lives. — TJte  Cornhill  Mrtgazine. 

\taribaldi  After  Mentana.— The  am- 
munition of  the  guns  was  exhausted ;  scarcely 
a  rotmd  of  cartridges  remained  to  the  troops. 
The  provisions  in  Monte  Botondo  were  also  ex- 
hausted;  the  nearest  town  12  miles  off.  The 
Italian  Government  had  forbidden  a  single 
ratio'n  to  be  sent  across  the  frontier.  Garibaldi 
listened  to  all  these  details  in  silence.  They  did 
not  seem  to  aff€«t  him.  **  J?oma  o  wior/e.'"  had 
been  the  battle  cry;  as  they  could,not  enter 
Rome,  he  elected  death.  I  think  he  only  yielded 
to  the  despairing  appeal  of  old  Gen.  FabrizzI, 
his  senior  by  many  years,  the  veteran  of  Italian 
conspiracy,  who  had  answered  *' present  "to 
eveiy  revolutionary  roll-call,  and  who,  on  the 
heights  of  Montana,  had  seemed  to  be'  seeking 
his  own  death  there,  to  be  spared 
this  bitter  cup.  The  return  to  the  fron- 
tier resembled  a  funeral  march ;  even 
there  Garibaldi  turned  and  made  a  last  appeal. 
They  might  yet  ffain  Monte  Libretto,  summon 
Acerbi  and  Nicotera,  unite  all  the  volunteer 
forces  at  Tivoli.  "  Fabrizzi  shook  his  head. 
The  regular  troops  were  on  the  frontier,  with 
orders  to  disarm  the  volunteers.  Better  that 
the  latter  should  resign  their  useless  muskets 
to  those  reluctant  hands  than  that  a  conflict 
should  ensue.  This  last  argunlent  triumphed. 
Garibaldi  crossed  tire  bridge.  The  officers  of 
the  regular  troops,  with  bared  heads,  accepted 
In  silence,  we  may  say  reverentially,  the  arms 
that  the  volunteers  laid  down.  The  soldiers 
looked  on  awestruck — not  one  failed  in  render- 
ing the  military  salute.  Fabrizzi  remained  on 
the  Papal  territory  till  the  last  "rebel" 
had  crossed  on  to  Italian  soil.  The 
Colonel  of  the  regulars  had  placed  a 
special  train  at  Garibaldi's  disposal,  which  he 
entered  with  his  staff  and  sons,  intending  to  go 
straight  to  Genoa  and  embark  for  Caprera. 
'*  They  wiU  arrest  me,  Alberto,"  he  said  to  my 
husband,  and  they  were  the  only  words  he  spoke, 
smiling  sadly,  but  without  bitterness,  on  the 
dense  masses  of  people  whd  crowded  to  every 
station  shouting,  "Viva  Garibaldi!  viva 
Hbma!"  nor  once  reproached  them  that  they 
had  shouted  only  when  his  volunteers  were  dying 
on  the  Roman  soil.  Carbineers  and  poUcemen 
held  the  entire  line.  At  Piglini  CoL  Camozzl 
entered  the  carriage  and  Informed  the  General 
that  he  had  orders  to  convey  himself  and  his 
family  prisoners  to  Spezzia.  His  officers  cocked 
their  revoivers  and  uilsheathed  their  sworda. 
The  General  bid  them  dfesist,  and  asked  the  Col- 
onel if  he  had  a  regulwMy_arrant,  descending,  as 
he  spoke,  from  tlie^^ariiage.  \"  No,  General; 
only  the  verbal  order."  "  Then,  you  are  aware 
yoi^  are  violating  the  law  ?  "  *'  I  am  executing 
the  orders  of  the  Government.**  "  The  laws  are 
superior  to  Government.  I  nrotest  against 
your  intimation,  and  shall  only  vield 
tb  violence  I "  CoL  Camozzl  ordered  'four 
Carbineers  to  _  lift  the  General  into 
the  carriage.  He  offered  no  resistance,  and 
\nM  e<mvc^ed  theace  tb  YaHcutoo.  And  later. 


imder  esoort,  to  Oaprera.  This  act  of  violence 
initiated  the  reign  of  terror  to  which  Italy,  un"- 
der  the  united  sway  of  Napoleon  and  Menabrea, 
was  subject,  until  Sedan  broke  the  spell,  and 
left  the  Italian  Government  no  alternative  save 
to  enter  Rome  vrith  the  cross-stained  tricolor,  or 
to  allow  the  volunteers  to  enter,  bearing  the 
old  flag  of  1S49. —Jessie  White  Mario,  in  Praser's

Victor  Hugo. — ^Hugo  is  75,  yet  his  men- 
tal eye  is  not  dimmed,  nor  is  his  bodily  strength 
greatly  abated.  He  shows  the  same  richness  of 
fancy,  the  same  powerful  grasp  of  grand  ideas, 
the  same  originality  of  thought,  and  the  same 
susceptibility  of  feeling  as  when  he  wrote  in 
what  would  have  been  the  mattirity  of  men  of 
feebler  stamina.  There  is  as  much  of  youthful 
impetuosity,  and  as  much  ot  nervous  vigor,  as 
when  he  flashed  out  on  the  world  in  the  Odes  and 
Ballads.  And  all  the  time  he  has  been  Inde- 
fatigably  occupied  ransacking  strange 
store-ho  uses  of  fantastic  learning,  trac- 
ing the  mythology,  the  supersti- 
tions, the  legends,  and  the  semi-mythical 
history  of  every  race  and  creed,  till  he  has  ac- 
cumulated a  store  of  the  peculiar  treasure  which 
he  of  all  men  has  the  talent  to  use.  But  how 
much  of  it  has  been  unhappily  inisapplied  so  far 
as  his  own  immortality  is  concerned !  Should 
he  be  spared,  as  we  trust  he  niay,  to  write  those 
books  which  he  promises,  we  know  very  nearly 
what  we  may  expect.  They  will  abound  in 
beauties  of  no  common  order ;  they  will  be  en- 
riched by  rare  thoughts  and  sublime  concep- 
tions ;  they  will  show  a  generous  sympathy  with 
the  sorrows  of  mankind,  and  breathe  ideal  aspi- 
rations as  to  h\unan  perfectibility.  But  they 
will  be  T^Titten  in  the  style  and  shape  that 
were  formed  30  or  40  years  ago.  They  will 
show  the  tyro  in  practical  politics,  and  possibly 
the_ melancholy  spectacle  of  a  Titan  in  intellect 
laying  himself  open  to  the  ridicule  of  the 
premier-venu  of  the  pigmies.  We  may  enjoy 
them  more  or  less  than  others  that  have  gone 
before,  but  that  will  be  alL  For  this  noble 
L4gende  dts  Si^des  shows  not  the  slightest  ad- 
vance in  art  on  its  predecessor  or  on  the  Chdti- 
ment^,&udhis  latest  novel  but  one — L' Homme' 
qui  Bit — ismore  artistically  fanJty  than  anything 
he  has  composed.  It  has  been  unfortunate  for 
his  fame  that  he  has  been  so  much  of  a  French- 
man in  more  ways  than  one.  It  seems  harsh 
to  reproach  a  man  with'  an  excess  of  patriot- 
ism, especially  when  his  much-loved  country 
has  fallen  upon  evil  times.  But  Hugo's  party 
escapades  and  democratic  volubility  have  re- 
acted on  his  literary  career  and  his  serious  lit- 
erary workmansliip."  Political  opinions  fly  to  the 
head  with  him  :  he  has  nroached  the  principU-s 
of  that  pernicious  gospel  that  the  Commuuistn 
of  Pans  translated  into  action.  He  has 
dreamed  a  perfection  of  institutions  that  pre- 
supposed a  perfectibility  of  nature  ;  and  thosi' 
of  his  countrymen,  who  have  followed  him.  or 
dragged  him  with  thorn,  have  still  along  way 
to  go  toward  perfection.  We  cannot  conceive 
that  he  has  been  blind  to  their  shortcomings  ; 
and  it  is  probable  that  their  very  faults  or  their 
crimes  have  tended  to  increase  the  exaltation  of 
his  language.  15  his  doctrine.s  in  their  legiti- 
mate application  have  .sown  the  dragon's  teeth 
— ^if  things  turn  out  other  than  as  they  oupht  to 
do— the  more  that  he  is  disappointed  and"  disen- 
chanted in  his  heart,  the  more  foudly  he  clings 
to  his  illusions.  It  is  touching,  in  spite  of  the 
unconscious  self-satire  of  his  writings,  to  see 
how  firmly  he  has-  held  to  his  fancies  about  his 
ideal  Paris— the  salt  of  the  earth,  and  the  lami> 
of  civilization.  We  are  far  from  desiring  to 
deny  the  claims  of  France  on  the  friends  of 
civilization  and  refinement ;  btit  Victor  Hugo's 
jealous  ana  excessive  exaggeratiou  is  almost 
the  only  sign  of  senilitv  about  him.  Not  that 
there  is  anything  really  senile  about  that,  for 
he  felt  and  spoke  equally  extravagantly  in  tlio 
hot-headed  fervor  of  his  early  youth.  He  is 
perfectly  happy  m.aking  a  spem'h  to  the  crowd 
on  some  subject  thai  is  touching  evor\'  man  of 
them  closely,  when  each  burning  word  falls  lik-' 
a  firebrand  on  the  heap  of  inflammable  materials 
that  is  piled  all  ready  to  his  hand.  He  is  en- 
tirely in  his  element  writing  a  glorification  of 
his  darling  Lutetia  in  such  a  handbook  as  was 
given  to  the  world  on  the  occasion  of  the  last 
grand  exhibition  there.  But  it  would  have 
been  well  for  him,  and  well  for  his  readers,  had 
l^e  blown  off  his  sentimental  haHucinntions  by 
such  occasional  safety-valves  instead  of  leaven- 
ing all  his  books  with  them,  thus  provoking  our 
smiles  when  he  would  have  had  us  most  serious 
by  blending  the  sublime  with  the  ludicrous  and 
imnossible. — lilackicuod's  Mojjazine. 


The  Mokgoose. — In  the  various  encount- 
ers which  I  have  personally  witnessed  between 
mon;jooso  and  cobra,  the  former  invariably 
came  off  the  victor,  and  that  without  apparently 
receiving  a  wound.  The  little  animal  always 
adopted  the  same  tactics,  vigorously  attacking 
the  snake  by  circling  round  it  and  springing  at 
its  throat  or  head,  but  at  tho  same  time  with 
wonderful  skill  and  quickne.ss  avoiding  the 
counter-strokes  of  its  dangerous  enemy  :  till  at 
length  waiting  for  a  favorable  opportunity — 
when  the  snake  had  become  to  a  certain  extent 
pihausted  by  its  exertion — the  nimble  little 
quadruped  would  suddenly  dart  forward,  and. 
so  to  speak,  getting  under  its  opponent's  guard, 
end  the  fight  by  deliveriuff  a  crunchingr 
bite  through  the  robra's  skull.  In  none 
of  the  half-dozen  battles  \vhi<*h  I  have 
witnessed  has  there  been  an  attempt  on  the  part 
of  the  mongoose  to  ''extract  the  serpent's  fang:s'' 
(as  .some  recent  writers  have  described ;  I  thouph 
more  than  once,  after  eaiuing  the  victory  the 
animal  has  commenced  to  ravenously  devour  its 
late  opponent  Possibly  these  poor  creatures, 
that  showed  so  inordinate  a  desire  for  food,  bad 
been  intentionally  starve<l  fur  the  occasion  bv 
their  owners,  to  make  them  the  more  eager  to 
engage  and  overcome  the  cobra  .so  soon  as  let 
loose,  and  thus  without  fail  or  delay  to  insure  a 
pitched  battle  for  the  benefit  of  the  spectators. 
As  the  reader  is  probably  aware,  these  combats 
between  mongoose  and  cobra  have  piveu  rise  to 
many  differences  of  opinion  and  dispute  among 
naturalists;  though  1  think  that  the  careful  in- 
qniriesandnumberless  experiments  raadeby sci- 
entific men  in  late  years  have  done  much  to  clear 
up  these  old  poiuts  of  contention,  and  at  the 
same  time  have  put  to  flight  many  delusions  no 
longer  tenable.  For  instance,  a  common  belief 
formerly  prevailed  *'that  a  mongooscj  when 
bitten  in  an  enieragement  with  a  cobra  or  other 
venomous  snake,  was  in  the  habit  of  eating 
some  kind  of  plant  or  root,  which  altogetlireT 
nullified  the  effects  of  the  poison."  This  extra- 
ordinary idea  yet  prevails  in  some  parts  oT 
India  sunong  certain  classes  of  natives,  who  to 
this  day  maintain  that  the  mongoose,  by  means 
of  some  such  speciflc  as.  I  have  mentioned, 
works  a  self-cure  when  bitten  by  a  venomous 
reptile.  But  it  is  a  well-known  fact  that 
many  tribes  atid  castes  are  exceedingly  super- 
stitious and  obstinate,  pertinaciously  clinging 
to  the  convictions,  maxima  and  ciistoms  handed 
down  to  them  by  their  forefathers  ;  and  with 
such  people  it  is,  generally  speakinj?,  useless  to 
enter  into  an  argument. — Chambers's  Journal. 


The  Hague.— The  Hague  is  certainly  the 
pieasantest  and  most  peaceful-looking  capital 
existing — "  umbrageous"  is  the  only  word 
expressive  of  it,  such  is  the  amount  of  trees  in 
every  direction.  "  Trim  retired  leisure"  is  the 
general  impression  of  the  place,  where  women 
have  time  to  squirt  water  at  the  fronts  of  their 
houses,  and  where  the  railway  station  is  so 
clean  that  one  might  almost  eat  off  the  bricks. 
Still  there  is  a  busier  and  dirtier  side  to  the 
town,  connected  with  the  trade  to  the  sea.  We 
looked  down  canal  after  canal,  with  long 
perspectives  of  bridges,  men  punting  heavy 
barges  with  long  poles  thrust  into  the  muddy 
black  water  or  against  the  brick  sides,  leaning 
over  BO  far  that,  at  sharp  turnings  of  the  canals, 
it  seemed  as  if  they  must  overtopple  themselves 
and  fall.  The  boats  were  full  of  greenc^bages 
and  yellow  carrots,  baskets,  mats  hung  up  in 
rows,  peat  in  neat  little  square  cakes,  the  best 
from  uueldreland.  In  many  of  them  women 
and  children  were  living  in  the  small  cabins, 
half  under  and  half  upon  the  deck,,  and  were 
sitting  about  in  picturesque  heaps.  Some  of 
the  canals  are  now  filled  up  and  turned  into 
streets,  but  the  waterways,  with. bright  lights 
and  chequered  flhf^ows  from  the  avenues  of 
trees  thrown  on  the  brick  houses  and  the  black- 
green  water,  are  far  more  pleasant  to  look  at. 
The  stirring  of  the  boats  prevents  the  stagnant 
look  which,  in  out-of-the-way,  littie-used  cor- 
ners, appeara  in  a  coating  of  green  slime,  and 
seems  as  if  it  ought  to  bring  fever,  but  does  not. 
Here  is  a  very  Dutch  picture  :  two  won^en  har- 
nessed to  a  boat  by  a  long  rope,  ptishtng  against 
the  collar  like  beasts  of  burden  ;  a  bit  of  red 
color  on  a  wherry  under  a  distant  bridge  ;  then 
a  green  hull  and  a  mass  of  black  barge,  and  the 
bide  of  the  men's  shirts,  punting  among  the 
trees  with  their  long  poles,  carrying  the  color 
from  a  bright  sky.  Nature  gets  the  blue 
required  for  her  gamut  often  from  above,  and 
the  reflections  of  the  trunks  and  houses  in  the 
water,  wherever  it  was  still,  doubled  and 
inverted  the  lines  with  admirable  effect.  Next, 
a  more  open  view  out  of  our  windows,  where  the 
canJ^  (always  a  necessary  foreground  here)  Is 
baokea  by  the  park.  The  trees,  particularly 
iha  6iifcA.Jcft>w  riffv  fittaish^  fahowllur.tbat  there 


is  no  stony,  gravelly  obstacle  to  tap  their  roots 
in  the  easy  soil ;  peat  (of  an  inferior  quality)  is 
reached  wherever  a  foundation  is  dug  or  a  gar- 
den cultivated,  even  in  the  best  quarters  of  the 
town.  Endless  barrows,  with  all  sortsof  produce, 
are  passing  by — grapes  ;  blue,  green,  and  orange 
faYence  ;  a  reel  box  with  "  Koffee,  Thee."  on  it 
— the  last  as  national  a  beverage  here  as  in 
England  ;  a  boy  in  a  blouse  and  safjots^  with  two 
great  baskets  ^ung  to  a  yoke,  aiid  an  enormous 
cauliflower  in  each  ;  .some  women  marketing, 
with  queer  skull  caps  of  very  ^in  beaten  gold, 
hiding  the  hair  completely,  a  costume  from 
Zeeland;  others  with  lace  lappets,  and  small 
curlv  gold  horns  projecting  four  or  five  inches 
on  the  side  of  the  head  ,  heirlooms  in  a  Korth- 
Holland  family,  a  white  jacket^  pink  apron,  and 
sabots,  cold  coloring ;  the  peaisants  looking 
substantial  in  every  sense  ;  odd,  old-fashioned 
country  carts,  with  a  curious  horn  jutting  out 
in  front ;  two  wicked  little  boys,  certainly  not 
twelve  years  old,  smoking ;  several  more  In 
wooden  shoes  and  red  stockings,  flinging 
stones  to  bring  down  the  horse-chestnuts,  with 
an  amoimt  of  diligence,  patience,  and  skiU 
which  would  make  them  model  boys  if  they  do 
those  lessons  as  earnestiy  for  which  they  will 
certainly  be  too  late  this  morning.  No  "  guard- 
ians of  on3er"  interfering ;  apparently  order 
takes  care  of  itself  in  this  well-conducted  popu- 
lation. The  schools  are  said  to  be  remarkably 
good  and  well  attended  ;  the  reli^ous  educa- 
tion is  kept  separate  from  the  secular,  the  hot 
Protestant  ana  Catholic  feuds  making  any  other 
arrangement  impossible,  if  the  children  are  to 
be  taught  together  ;  and  there  seems  to  be  no 
difficulty  there  at  least  in  carrying  out  the 
details. -^Tfte  Vontemporary  lieview. 


AiTTTCIPATTXO  THE  TELEGRAPH. — Prof. 
Stanley  Jevons,  1 0  years  ago,  spent  some  trouble 
in  investigating  this  curious  anticipation  of  tho 
telegraph,  but  only  published  the  results  in  the 
form  of  a  brief  anonymous  article  in  a  weekly 
newspaper.  This  cm-ious  subject.  Mr.  Jevons 
thinks,  has  not  received  tho  attention  which  it 
seems  to  deserve,  butit  was  not  wholly  unknown. 
TheAbb^Moigno,  in  his  Traits  tie  Tf'.Ugraphie 
Electrique,  (Paris,  1>S52.)  alludes  to  what  he 
calls  this  *' Charmnnt  rh'e  nu  it£cronMncicn}tf,*' 
and  ho  points  out  that  Addison  had  fpiotod  tho 
remarkable  verses  of  Famianus  Str.ada  in  tho 
Spectator.  Xo.  2-il.  Addison  speaks  of  "a 
cliimerical  coirespondenco  between  two  friends 
by  the  help  of  a  loadstone."  Simula's  remarka- 
ble lines  are  aLso  quoted  and  tnitislated  in  i\Ir. 
George  Dodd's  account  of  "  Jiailwajja,  Sieawfrg, 
and  TtJegraphs :  a  Glance  at  their  Herevd 
Progress  and  Present  Stat*,''  (Chambers.  l^iOT. ) 
Mr.  Jevons  found  allusions  to  a  magnetic 
telegraph  runnijig  through  many  scientific  or 
qu:isi-scientifie  works  of  the  sixteenth  and  sev- 
enteeth  centurifts.  8ir;yhomas  Browne,  in  his 
P.tefiiiodo.rit:(t  Epidemiol ^*sviy a  :  '*  The  coufoit  is 
excellent,  and,  if  the  efi'eet  would  follow,  some- 
what divine ; "  and  ho  speaks  of  it  a-^  a  conceit, 
*•  whbipered  thorow  the  world  with  some  att4'u- 
tion.  crefiulous  and  vulgar  audit  »rs  rea^lily  be- 
lieving it,  and  more  judicious  and  distiiictivt^ 
heads  not  altogether  rejecting  it."  Sir  Thomas, 
it  would  seem,  submitted  the  matter  to  experi- 
ment, but  found  tliat  though  the  needles  wen- 
.sf-parated  but  ha\f  a  span,  when  one  wjis  movcfl 
••  the  other  would  stand  like  Hercules*  pillars." 
Joseph  Gianvili,  in  his  Scepsis  Scttntijifa,  (KUi.t,) 
discusses  the  objections  of  Sir  Thonius  Browne, 
and  concludes  that  "there  are  some  hints  in 
natural  operation  that  give  us  probability 
that  if^feasii'h;.  ilow  can  we  read  without  won-

rrlanvill  treats  the  inaiter  quite  seriously  as  a 
scientitic  possibility.  The  Marquis  of  Worces- 
ter probably  refers  to  the  niagnotic  telegraph 
when  he  speaks  of  *' intelligence  at  a  distan<*e

it  is  hardly  likely  that  he  would  originate  a  sci- 
entitic conception  of  the  sort.  Theearliest  books 
in  which  Mr.  Jevons  found  allusions  to  a  mag- 
netic telegraph  is  the  yatiiral  Ma^ir  of  liaptista 
Port.i.  published  in  IfiS'l.  in  the  seventh  book 
he  de.*cribes  the  '•  wonders  of  the  mairiiet,"'  s;iy-

jieriment  of  putting  a  niaguet  under  a  table  anil 
moving  thereby  a  needli:  above  the  table.  Tliis

much  abridge  the  lovers  pains  in  this  way  of 
writing  a  letter,  a.s  it  would  enable  him  to  ex- 
press the  most  useful  and  significant  words

is  an  interesting  one.  and  seems  to  us  well

The  Moa. — It  is  difficult  to  deeidc,  even 
approximately,  the  dato  of  Iho  last  moa,  or 
whether  he  survived  the  last  dodo  or  not.  At 
least,  in  his  case  the  European  is  not  responsible 
for  his  fate.  Many  of  the  bones  found  seem 
80  fresh  that  they  may  have  lived  within  the 
last   half-centtiry,    but   Capt.    Cook   heard   or 

saw  nothing  of  them.  ,  Still.j  we  may  fairly 
conclude  that  they  became  extinct  in  the  North- 
em  Island,  which  was  comparatively  thickly 
peopled,  and  was  doubtless  the  first  settled  by 
man,  long  before  they  finally  disappeared  iu  the 
Southern  Island.  Dr.  Haast  strongly  supports 
the  view  that  these  giants  were  not  con- 
temporaneous with  the  present  Maori 
race,  but  were  exterminated  by  their 
Negrite  predecessors ;  yet  there  is  in  the 
Museum  of  the  Philosophical  Society  of  York  a 
magnificent  skeleton  of  Di}u>rnis  gigajitKens, 
found  a  few  years  since  under  a  sand-drift, 
with  many  of  the  integuments  and  fragments 
of  skin  and  hairy  feathers  remaining  a«ached, 
while  large  fragments  of  an  egg  Qr  eggs,  on 
which,  perhaps,  the  parent  birtl  was  sitting 
when  overwhelmed  by  a  .sudden  convulsion  or 
earthquake  wave,  etill  retain  their  rich  green 
color.  On  another  occasion,  in  the  hands  of  a 
skeleton,  buried  in  an  upright  sitting  posture, 
in  a  cave,  was  found  an  egg  of  a  moa,  entire. 
with  a  small  hole  bored  at  the  end  immediately 
under  the  chin  of  the  skeleton,  and  preserving 
all  its  freshness  of  cojor.  This  egg  was  brought 
to  England,  but  has  finally  returned  to  the  an- 
tipodes to  be  placed  in  a  public  museum.  As 
the  skeleton  was  that  <rf  a  Maori,  there  seems 
here  a~  proof  of  the  coexistence  of  the  two, 
and  that  the  egg  was  placed  in  the  hands  of 
a  deceased  chieftain  to  supply  him  with  sus- 
tenance on  his  jotumey  to  the  land  of  spirits. 
It  has  been  suggested,  on  the  other  hand,  that 
the  egg  may  have  been  placed  where  it  was 
found  as  being  a  great  rari^,  the  m.08t  preciotis 
possession  of  the  tribe.  But  the  late  Rev.  B. 
Taylor,  who  probably  knew  more  of  the  native 
history  and  traditiohs  than  any  other  European, 
and  who  eoUected  many '■of  the  native  songs 
fi£i  vn*aa  bftf ana.  oalonlKatiaiL  bejzaiu  hj^  wr^'^^n 


down  many  songs  which  record  the  exploits  of 
Maori  heroes  in  hunting  the  gdgantie  moa ;  and  a 
solitary  feather,  said  to  be  the  la^  relic  of  the 
bird  possessed  by  the  tribe,  was  buried  with  a 
great  native  chief,  Rauparaha,  in  1849.  One 
of  the  native  legends  is  ba.sed  on  the  story  of  a 
chieftain  who  went  in  quest  of  a  tuft  of  moa 
feathers,  and  who,  when  he  had  secured  the 
plume,  reciHved  in  exchange  the  finest  green- 
stone mere  in  the  land.  We  may  infer  from 
this  tale  that  at  a  very  early  period  of  the  Maori 
settlement  the  moa  had  become  extremely  rare.

A  French  Poet  of  the  Fiftbkkth  Cen- 
TTTRr.— Villon's  Large  Testament  is  Ahntly-hxiTly 
of  cynical  and  sentimental  reflections  about  life, 
jesting  legacies  to  friends  and  enemies,  and,  in- 
terspersed among  these,  many  admirable  bal- 
lads, both  serious  and  absurd.  With  so  free  a 
design,  no  thought  that  occurred  to  him  would 
need  to  be  dismissed  without  expression  ;  and 
he  could  draw  at  full  length  the  portrait  of  his 
own  bedeviled  soul,  and  of  the  bleak  and  black- 
guardly world  which  was  the  theatre  of  his  ex- 
ploits and  sufferings.  If  the  reader  can  con- 
ceive something  between  the  slap-dash  inconse- 
quence of  Byron's  "  Don  Juan"and  the  racy, 
humorous  gravity  and  brief,  noble  touches 
that  distinguish  the  vernacular  poems  of  Bums, 
he  wUl  have  formed  some  idea  of  Villon's  style. 
To  the  latter  writer — except  in  the  ballads, 
which  arc  quite  his  o\vn,  and  can  be  paralleled 
from  no  other  language  known  to  me — ^he  bears 
a  particular  resemblance.  In  common  with 
Burns  he  has  a  certain  rugged  compression,  a 
brutal  vivacity  of  epithet,  a  homely  vigor,  a  de- 
light in  local  personalities,  and 'an  interest  in 
many  sides  of  life  that  are  often  despised 
and  passed  over  by  more  effete  and  cul- 
tured poets.  Both  also,  in  their  strong. 
easy  colloquial  way,  tend  to  become  dif- 
licult  and  obscure,  the  obscurity  in  the 
case  of  Villon  passing  at  times  into  the  absolute 
darkness  of  cant  language.  They  are  perhaps 
the  only  two  great  masters  of  expression  who 
keep  .sending  their  readers  to  a  glossary.  "  Shall 
we  not  dare  to  say  of  a  thief,''  asks  ^lontaigne, 
"that  he  has  a  handsome  leg  I"  It  is  afar 
more  serious  claim  that  we  have  to  put  forward 
in  bfrhalf  of  ViUon.  Beside  that  of  his  cotem- 
paries.  his  writing,  so  full  of  color,  so  eloquent, 
so  picturesque,  stands  out  in  an  almost  miracu- 
lous isolation.  If  only  one  or  two  of  the 
chroniclers  coiild  have  taken  a  leaf  out  of  his 
book,  history  would  have  been  a  pastime,  and 
the  fifteenth  century  as  present  to  our  minds  as 
the  age  of  JJharles  II.  This  gallows-bird  was 
the  one  great  writer  of  his  age  and  country,  and 
initiateil  modem  literature  for  France.  Boileau, 
long  ago,  in  the  period  of  perukes  and  snuff- 
boxes, recognized  him  as  the  first  articulate 
poet  in  tho  language:  and  if  we  measure  him, 
not  by  priority  of  merit,  but  living  duration  of 
infiuencLf — not  on  a  comparison  with  obscure 
forerunners,  but  with  great  arfd  famous  suc- 
cessors— we  shall  install  this  ragged  an^  dis- 
roimtable  figur^t  in  a  far  higher  niche  in 
glory's  temple  than  was  ever  dreamed  of 
by  the  critic.  It  is,  in  itself,  a  memorable 
fact  that,  before  l~t42,  in  the  very  dawn  of 
printing,  and  while  modem  France  was  in  tho 
making,  the  works  of  Villon  ran  through  seven 
different  editions.  Out  of  him  flows  much  of 
Rabelais:  and  through  Rabelais,  directly  and 
indirpctly,  a  deep,  permanent,  and  growing  in- 
spiration. Not  only  his  style,  but  his  callous 
pertinent  way  of  looking  upon  the  sordid  and 
ugly  sides  or  life,  becomes  every  day  a  more 
speciflc  feature  in  the  literature  of  France.  And 
'.nly  last  year  a.  work  of  some  power  appeared 
in  Paris,  and  appeared  with  infinite  scandal. 
wliich  owed  its  whole  inner  significance  and 
much  of  its  outward  form  to  the  study  of  our 
rhyming  thief. — Tlie  CornkiU  Magazine. 


Garrick's   Shakespeare. — GrarricVs  nn- 

sparing  manipulations  of  Shakespeare  maybe 
8een.  by  those  who  have  the  run  of  curious 
dramatic  libraries,  in  a  duodecimo  acting  edi- 
tion of  "  Romeo  and  Juliet."  which  is  enough 
to  make  a  Shakespearian  purist's  hair  stand  up- 
right wi:h  horror.  Till  comparatively  recent 
times,  indeed,  this  was  the  version  commonly 
followed  on  the^tage — followed  still,  it  .J^ay  be, 
by  .some  players,  for  aught  I  know  to  the  con- 
trary. Byway  of  "piling  up  the  agony,^' Mr. 
(larrick  brought  poor  Juliet  to  life  before  the 
]»oison  which  her  lover  had  swallowed  had  bo- 
gim  to  take  any  effect  on  him.  A  quantity  of 
blank  verse.  a*i  un-Shakespearian  as  can  possi- 
bly be  imagined,  is  thus  foisted  upon  the  scene. 
(•th<-rwL<e  a  gem  of  exquisite  pathos  hardly 
7nat4'hed  by  anything  in  Boccaccio.  The 
sudden  action  of  the  drug,  in  the  original 
play,  is  as  appalling,  though,  of  course,  not  so 
uuixpected.  as  the  instantaneous  effect  of  the 
horb  i^an-lessly  plucked  and  eaten  by  the  young 
lover  in  the  garden,  for  which  beautifully  tragic 
story  1  need  scarce  refer  you  to  the  Depimeron. 
Knuun  has  purchased  a  quick,  not  a  slow  poi- 
son— "  such  soon-speeding  gear  as  will  di.sperse 
itself  through  all  the  veins,  that  the  Hfe-wear\- 
taker  may  fall  dead:"  in  fact,  as  if  shot  or 
stabbed  to  the  heart,  as  Homeo.  in  the  language 
of  poetry,  proceeds  to  signify.  And  this  is  the 
sf^<jael  in  the  churchyard : 

■•  Here's  to  my  love!  [Drinks.]  O  true  apothecary ! 
Thy  ilrug'i  are  quick.  Thus  with  a  kiss  I  die." 
This  is  enough,  one  would  think :  but  it  was 
not  enough  for  Sir.  Garrick.  The  death  of 
Jiom^n  mu-^t  be  spun  out,  and  the  pang  of  part- 
ing slowly  envenomed  by  the  discovery 
that  he  has  been  precipitate,  and  might 
have  lived  for  his  living  .  and  loving 
JuVu-t,  It  was  Garrick.  too,  who  altered 
the  "Winter's  Tale."  calling  it  **  Florizel  and 
l*erilita ;  "  who  altered  '*  Taming  of  the  Shrew,*' 
calling  it  "Catherine  and  Petmchio ; ''  who 
changed  "A  Jlidsummer  Night's  Dream" 
into  an  opera,  which  he  called  the  "Eairies:" 
who  did  something  of  the  same  kind  by  the 
"Tempest."  though  Shadwell  had  preceeded 
him  by  S;j  years  in  that  labor.  '*  Cymbeline," 
too,  was  altered  by  Garrick.  and  considerably 
altered  for  the  worse ;  as  we  may  be  sure  it 
could  not  have  been  altered  by  him  or  anybody 
else  for  the  better.  I  do  not  know  that  the  great 
actor  toc,k  upon  himself  the  work  of  altering  any 
more  uf  Shake^:peare's  plays:  but  the  fact  is 
that  most  of  them  had  been  altered  ready  to  his ' 
hand,  so  that  he  had  only  to  play  them  in  their 
changed  shape,  as  he  invariably  did  in  prefer- 
ence to  playing  them  as  they  had  been  left  by 
Shakespeare. — Tinsley's  Magazine. 


LiTEKART  Scavengers.— What  right  have 
literary  scavengers  to  arrogate  to  themselves 
the  exclusive  name  of  "realists!"  I  deny  that 
the  dark  and  fotd  side  of  life  is  any  more  real 
than  the  bright  and  pleasing.  A  rose  is  just  as 
real  as  a  poison  vine ;  a  perfume-bottle  is  as  real 
as  a  dunghill ;  a  spring  of  clear  water  is  as  real 
ns  a  tess-pool.  It  seems  to  be  taken  for  granted 
that  "  reality"  means  nastiness,  and  the  more 
of  the  hideous  rottenness  of  the  lo-west  deeps  of 
life  a  writer  can  rake  up.  the  more  real  and  nat- 
ural his  descriptions  must  be.  I  deny  this  ut- 
teriv.  51.  Zola  and  his  far-off  comrades  only  de- 
scriibe  one-half  of  life,  just  like  the  **  romantic  " 
writers  they  decry ,  the  only  difference  is  that 
th2  former  give  the  worst  and  the  Istterthe  best 
half.  Reality  ought  at  least  to  demand  an 
equal  division  of  labor  between  the  good  and 
the  bad,  between  misery  and  happiness,  vice 
'and  virtue ;  It  might  be  granted  thAt  no  prefer- 
ence should  be  shown  tho  latter ;  but  when  the 
former  is  given  sole  possession  and  the  latter 
wholly  excluded,  the  writer  forfeits  his  claim  to 
impartial  description  of  real  life  as  much  as  if 
he  picked  out  the  golden  grains  and  left  the  ■ 
others.  Even  allowing  that  the  choice  of  sub- 
jects is  not  to  weigh  at  all,  this  bears  as  much 
for  my  argument  as  its  opposite:  for. a  less 
revolting  subject  could  be  chosen,  and  its 
faithful  depiction  would  be  aa  well  entitled  to 
the  name  of  "realism"  as  the  other.  This  is 
not  at  all  a  question  of  art  versus  morality ;  it 
is  a  question  as  to  whether  art  working  in  com- 
paratively clean  material  is  not  as  truly  art  as 
that  which  seeks  out  specially  the  foulest  ma- 
terial. Granting  that  the  chemist  must  analyse 
alike  spices  and  ordure,  why  should  the  aelec-i 
tion  for  study  exclusively  of  the  latter  entitle 
him  to  call  himself  a  more  thorough  chemist 
tlian  one  who  devoted  himself  to  the  former  ? —

RtJssiAN  Characteristics. — The  history 
of  the  present  campaign  in  Asia  Hinor  has  so 
far  illustrated  well  the  Russian  character  and 
habitual  mode  of  action.  First,  great  enthusi- 
asm, inordinate  expectations,  and  a  haughty 
contempt  for  difficulties  ;  next,  a  rapid  advance, 
obstacles  surmounted  with  wonderful  facility, 
difficult  positions  stormed  with  reckless,  dashing 
^Uantry  ;  and  as  a  result  of  all  this,  overween- 
ing confidence  whispering  to  them  that,  as  one 
of  their  proverbs  graphically  and  quaintly  puts 
it,  "  if  they  tried  to  ford  the  ocean  the  waters 
would  not  rise  higher  than  their  knees."  Tlwn 
comes  a  check,  obstacles  are  met  which  no 
amount  of  dash  and  gallantry  can  snrmonntf 
the  overheated  enthusiasm  cools,  the  retreat  be- 
gins, the  imprudence  of  neglecting  to  secure 
firmly  and  methodically  the  positions  gained  be 
Come's  apparent,  and  the  grent  shadowy  oon-^ 
quest  collates  into  the  most  modest  of  acquis!-./ 
tions.  This  has  been  the  history  of  the  cam- 
paign }n  Asia  Minor,   and    it  has  likewise  been 


Peter  tiie  Great— a  fact  which  may  has, 
mended  to  the  consideration  of  those  who  fmajn 
ine  that  impulsiveness  and  snasmodio  en^^tf^ 
asm  can  flomifih  only  in  southern  climes.  In  tha 
opening  chapter  of  Macanlay's  history,  it  wiU  bd 
remembered.tiiere  is  an  eloquent  passage  in  whicli 
national  progress  is  compared  to  the  advancing 
tide.  First  the  wave  advances,  and  then  it  re- 
cedes, but  only  in  order  to  gain  new  force  to 
advance  further  than  before.  To  use  this  met* 
aphor,  I  should  say  that  in  a  cotintry  like  our* 
the  waves  are  ftiero  ripples.  If  we'  have  what 
mav  be  termed  periods  of  Liberal  enthnslaem 
ana  periods  of  Con.s©rvative  reaction,  the  ^i 
thusiasm  does  not  drive  us  very  far  forwardj 
and  the  Conservatism  simply  stops  ns  wtUu>Di 
perceptibly  pulling  us  back.  In  countries  lik^ 
Russia,  on  the  contrary,  the  tide  advances  in 
great  rolling,  foam-crest-ed  wavos.  and  the  re<

bravest  soldiers)  civil  courage  of  a  hi;ch  order. 
How  strange,  by  the  way.  mtist  have  been 
the  state  of  society  iu  St.  Peterpburc  almost 
within  living  niomory.  when  it  was  pos- 
sible for  Suwarrow  at  *-vcnii*ff  parties  to  go 
about  from  one  lady  to  anntber,  kissing  the 
portrait  of  Catherine  II..  wlii^h  each  of  th^em 
wore  on  her  bre-ast !  Som^  uf  Suwarrow's  per« 
sonal  habits  must  have  contributed  to  rendeu 
these  pseudo-loyal  caresses  extreniely  unpleas^. 
ant  to  the  objects  of  them.  It  woulil  be  qultei 
out  of  the  question  to  f*nior  much  into  details, 
unless  we  were  to  ^vrite  in  Ijatin.  but.  for  ona 
thing,  the  Marshal  was  ignorant  of  ih*.-  use  of 
pocket-handkerchiefs.  Other  incidents  in  Su- 
warrow's  domestic  economy  arc,  as  Mr.  Carlyle 
might  say,  '*  too  Snmoyedic"  to  bo  dwelt  upon. 
To  his  credit,  however,  bo  it  said.  Suwarrow 
tubbed  regularly  once  a  day  in  cold  water.  an<il

TrriA^t's  PiCTTKEs, — During  a  period  of 
80  years,  Titian  was  a  constant  worker,  and 
the  number  of  pictures  he  produced  has  nevef 
been  estimated.  3Iany  have  been  destroyed^ 
others  so  defaced  and  injuretl  by  accidents  of 
time  that  their  original  glory  is  gone  forever; 
but  stiU  nearly  every  I.irge  picture  gallery  in 
Europe  possesses  genuine  Titians,  many  of  them 
of  rare  beauty  and  freshness  of  color.  The 
varied  cbaran^Ter  of  Titian's  genius  was  very  re- 
markable. There  is  scarcely  a  Rno  of  art  which 
he  has  not  enriched.  Dt-votinnal  and  profane 
subjects,  landscapes,  and.  above  all,  portraits. 
grew  with  surprisiujr  prace  under  his  powerful 
penciL  He  was  a  rapid  worker,  but  never  in  a 
hurry  ;  developing  his  conception  in  a  sure, 
firm  mimner :  never  failing  to  r^ach  the 
desired  effect.  Pahna  Giovane,  who,  ir? 
his  youth,  was  Titian's  scholar,  has  left 
the  following  intorestine;'  record  of  Titian'f 
method  in  painting;  "  Titian,"  he  says.  "  pr& 
pared  his  pictures  with  a  solid  stratum  of  pig- 
ment, which  served  as  a  bfd  or  fundament  up- 
on which  to  return  frc»quently.  Some  of  these 
preparations  vrere  made  with  resolut^strokes  oj 
a  brush  heavily  Laden  with  color,  the  half-tint( 
struck  in  with  pure  red  earth,  the  lights  with 
white,  modeled  into  relief  by  touches  of  the 
same  brush  dipped  into  red.  bla^k,  and  yellow. 
In  this  way  he  would  give  the  pn^miso  of  a  fig~ 
ure  in  four  strokes.  Afw-r  laying  this  founda- 
tion, he  would  turn  the  picture  to  tho  wall,  and 
leave  it  there  perhaps  for  months,  turning  i| 
round  a^in  after  a  time  lo  look  at  it  carefully, 
and  scan  the  parts  as  he  would  the  face  of  hij 
greatest  enemy.  If  at  this  time  any  portion  o: 
it  shoidd  appear  to  him  to  have  been  defective, 
he  would  set  to  work  to  correct  it.  applying 
remedies  as  a  surgeon  miirht  apply  them," cut- 
ting off  excrescences  hens  superabundiint 
fiesh  there,  redressing:  an  arm,  adjuFtiuR: 
or  setting  a  limb,  regardless  of  tho  pain  which 
it  mi«;ht  cause.  In  thLs  way  ho  would  reduc-« 
the  whole  to  a  certain  symmeiry.  put  it  aside* 
and  return  again  a  third  or  more  times,  till  tho 
first  quintessence  had  been  covered  over  with 
its  padding  of  fiesh.  It  wtis  couTrary  to  his 
habit  to  finish  at  one  paintintr,  and  he  used  to 
say  that  a  x>oet  who  improvise?  cannot  hope  tc 
form  pure  verses.  But  of  'c-ondiments'  in  th^ 
shape  of  last  retouches  he  was  particularly  fond. 
Xow  and  then  he  would  model  tho  liglir  into 
half-tint  with  a  rub  of  his  finger,  or  with  a 
touch  of  his  thumb  he  would  dab  a  spot  of 
dark  pigment  into  some  comer  to  strengthen  it, 
or  tiirow  in  a  reddish  stroke — a  tear  of  blood,  se 
to  speak — ^to  break  the  parts  superficially.  Ic 
fact,  when  finishing  he  painr^^d  much  more  witk.

Taxkee  Doodle. — I  will  point  ont  that 
one  of  its  most  humorous  and  seemingly  char- 
acteristic passages  is  of  a  date  much  older  not 
only  than  otir  war  of  independence,  but  than 
our  colonial  existence  ;  indeed,  if  it  could  be 
traced,  its  origin,  like  that  of  most  pood  things, 
would  be  found  to  be  hidden  in  the  darkness  oi 
remote  ages.  I  refer  lo  this  stanza  : 
' '  Yankee  Doodle  came  to  town 
And  wore  his  etriped  trowsis : 
Said  he  couldn't  see  tho  town. 
There  were  so  many  houses." 
In  the  **Contes  du  Sieur  Glalliard,"  by  Tar^ 
bourot  d^ccords,  is  the  following  passage  i- 
•'Chascun  me  disoit  que  jeverrois  une  si  granda 
et  belle  ville ;  mais  on  so  mocquoit  de  moi ;  car 
on  no  lo  pent  vou  k  cause  de  la  multitude  des 
maisons  qui  empechont  la  veiie."  That  is, 
"Every  one  told  me  that  I  should  see  such  a 
large  and  handsome  town ;  but  they  modced. 
me ;  for  one  could  not  see  it  because  of  the 
multitude  of  houses  that  hid  the  view.'*  The 
Sieur  GaUiard  here  is,  as  his  name  indicates,  a 
roystering  blade,  rather  rustic  withal.  On  an- 
other pa3.sace  in  this  silly  so-called  "national 
song"  I  shful  venture  to  remark  in  passing,  be* 
cause  I  have  found  that  many  people  did  not 
understand  it. 

"  Yankee  Doodle  cwne  to  town

BT  BICHiJU)  ORAST  WEITZ. 


1  am  ■writjng  far  away  from  the  heat  and 
twmoil  of  'New-York,  amid  wooded  hills  and 
bioad,  Bloptng  meadows,  tbnnigh  which  run 
l^aatifnl  brooks,  some  of  wbieh  in  any  other 
country  would  be  called  rtrers,  and  into  these 
Tua  little  rills,  the  .  oyerflow  "  of  ooont- 
!«■  springs,  tha  ■  water  of  which  seems 
almoit  ioy  eold.  Old  stone  farm-houses 
Hppear  at  long  intervals,  snrraiuided  by  stone 
twms  and  stables  bigger  than  the  honses. 
Grand  old  stone  mills,  with  huge  peaked  roofs 
pierced  by  doable  rows  of  dormer  windows,  and 
the  large  quaint  old  houses  of  the  golden- 
thumbed  millers,  saxroanded  by  lofty,  wide- 
•^preading  trees,  appear  where  the  larger  streams 
UVBS  the  roads.  And  when  I  add  that  over  these 
gelid  springs  and  rills  small  stone  dairy-houses 
are  built  that  look  like  little  chapels,  any  one 
familiar  with  the  country  will  know  that  I  am 
in  the  ruiul  region  of  Eastern  Pennsylvania — a 
I'egion  rich  in  all  that  is  wholesome  for  man  and 
beast,  where  butter  that  is  sold  in  New-York  for 
)$1  a  pound  is  made  and  eaten  as  if  it  were  oleo- 
.margaiine;  where  the  hens  kindly  lay  their 
eggs  early  in  the  morning  that  you,  instead  of  a 
chicken,  may  .chip  their  shells  at  breakfast; 
where  the  fruits  o^  the  garden  «ome  to  the  ta- 
ckle rich  in  flavor  and  tender  to  the  teeth ; 
"where  the  countrj*'  seems  to  smile  in  conscious 
richness  and  content,  and  where  it  would  seem 
(that  poverty  must  be  almost  unknown. 

It  is  not  foreign  to  the  subject  of  these  pa- 
pers that  I  remark  upon  the  domestio  estab- 
lishment of  my  hostess,  and  also  upon  those  of 
oome  of  her  neighbors,  which  are  even  upon  a 
larger  scale.  (For  I  should  have  added  that 
umotig  these  farm-houses  are  scattered  the  villas 
of  wealthy  gentlemen,  which  are  surrounded  by 
■beautifully  wooded  lawns  and  fields  that  almost 
Bitalntothedignityof  parka.)  I  was  struck  by  the 
appearance  of  the  female  servants  in  these  houses, 
liy  their  manner .  of  performing  their  duties, 
nnd  also  by  their  speech.  At  4rst  I  abpposed  that 
my  hostess  had  been  fortunate  enongh  to  obtain 
the  services  of  a  suit  of  English  servants. 
3er  anendants  went  so  silently  anov  methodi- 
cally about  their  work ;  they  were  so  respecta- 
I'le  and  so  respectful ;  their  dress  was  so 
'horoughly  neat  and  modest  and  unpretending  ; 
*.bey  answered  the  slightest  summoiis  so  prompt- 
ly ;  they  were  so  quietly  attentive,  and  last,  not 
!;ast,  their  speech,  when  they  did  speak,  which 
iVas  rarely,  was  so  rich  and  soft  and  sweet  and 
clear.  Upon  my  mentioning  my  supposition  to 
(the  mistress  of  the  household,  she  gave  me  a 
laughing  negative  ;  and  I  was  surprised  to  learn 
that  she  and  the  other  ladies  of  corresponding 
jHMition  here  are  fortunate  enough  to  be  served 
Tjy  the  daughters  of  the  farmers  in  the 
neighborhood,  who  gladly  accept  such  situa- 
■lions,  and  lose  thereby  not  a  jot  of  their  own 
aalf -respect  or  of  the  respect  of  others.  "  My 
liursery-maid,"  said  my  hostess,  indicating  a 
golden-haired  girl  with  a  fairness  of  skin  and 
a  richness  of  bloom  that  I  rarely  saw  equaled  in 
England,  '*  is  perfectly  well  maunereil,  and  so  in- 
telligent and  faithful  that  1  can  leave  the  chil- 
tlren  with  her  without  the  least  concern.  They 
^rtll  learn  no  bad  tricks  or  bad  manners  from 
—er."  Xor,  thought  I,  will  they  catch  from  hor 
any  bad  tricks  of  speech  or  even  any  unpleas- 
unt  tone  of  voice.  For  the  girl  spoke  perfectly 
well — simple,  plain  English,  with  a  sweet-toned 
freely  uttered  voice.  I  found  that  the  ladies 
around  there  were,  like  my  hostess,  so  happy  as  to 
'•eserved  by  persons  of  their  own  race  and  relig- 
ijn,  and  among  all  of  these  household  servants 
7  remarked  the  same  quietness  of  dress 
^ud  manner,  and  the  same  simplicity 
■"jad  pleasantness  of  speech,  varying 
uf  course  in  degree  and  qualitj-,  according  to  pe- 
culiarities of  indindual  organization.  This 
Crait  is  by  no  means  peculiar  to  the  servants ;  it 
appears  equally  in  the  served.  I  dined  last 
avening  at  a  neighboring  country  seat,  before 
which  the  bright  green  velvet  turf  stretched 
away  on  a  sloping  lawn,  which,  with  the  trees  that 
dotted  it,  would  not  have  shamed  the  south' 
of  England.  3Iy  table  companions '  were 
"out-  gentlemen  and  five  ladies ;  and 
from  all  of  them  "  I  heard  the  same 
.'lear,  sweet  tone  and  thoroughly  free  un-nasal 
speech.  I  hear  the  same  from  the  people  in  all 
the  country  around :  in  the  neighboring  village, 
in  the  roadside  talk,  in  face  everywhere.  In- 
Fieed,  two  little  boys,  children  of  the  hoi 
where  I  am  staying,  and  who  I  know  to  heron 
one  side  at  least  of  the  tenth '  genera- 
tion bom  in  this  cotmtry,  speak'  with 
such  broad  Saxon  utterance  tha»--tifeir  man 
f^d  handf  instead  of  being  what  may  be  best'  < 
although  imperfectly  indicated  by  inceun  and 
.^UMvnd,  spreads  out  into  mahn  and  hahnd. 
Plainly,  therefore,  the  supposition  that  climate 
ia  the  cause  of  the ..  harshness  and  nasality 
which  so  generally  deforms  American  speech 
is  not  well  founded,  for  these  jfeopleare  ''Amer- 
ican" bom  and  bred  fur  generations.  I  will  also 
remarkupon  their  physical  characteristics.  They 
are,  almost  without  esception,  stout,  well-built, 
hearty-looking  people.  The  women  have,  with 
hardly  an  exception  as  I  have  observed, 
weQ-rotinded  figures  and  fair,  fresh  com-  i 
plexions ;  indeed,  they  are  rather  inclined  to  an 
texcess  of  plumpness  after  they  have  passed  30.  ' 
Ihls  trait,  however,  is  not  peculiar  to  this  re- 
gion. I  have  remarked  it  elsewhere  among 
"Americans,"  who  may  be  properly  taken  as  ' 
examples  of  the  human  product  of  this  conn-  . 
tzy;  that  is,  people  whose  forefathers  have  been  ' 
uom  and  bred  here  for  generations.  Itisinthesec- 
ond  generation  of  the  late  European  emigrant 
that  1  have  chiefly  remarked  that  physical  de- 
generacy which  prejudiced  or  ill-informed 
critics  so  commonly  attribote  to  the  whole 
"  American  "  people.  But,  after  all,  we  are  not  ■ 
peculiar  as  the  subjects  of  such  misapprehen- 
rion,  for,  as  I'Hermite  de  la  Chauss^  d'Antin  . 
says,  "Plus  on  r£flj>i^t«  plus  on  observe,  ct 
plus  on  se  convainct  de  la  fausset^  de  la  plupart 
daces  jugcmens  portfe  snr  une  nation  entiire 
X>ar  quelques  ^crivains  et  adopts  sans  ex- 
nznen  par  les  autrea."  [The  more  we  reflect, 
tlie  more  we  observe,  the  more  we  are  convinced 
at  the  falsity  of  the  greater  part  of  those  judg- 
ments passed  upon  a  whole  nation  by  a  certain 
£ortof  writers,  and  adopted  with'but  examina- 
tion by  the  others.]  The  Hermit  illustrates  this 
point  by  remarking  how  the  whole  world  has  ' 
been  taught  that  the  French  people  is  the  most  ' 
mobile  and  inconstant  on  the  earth ;  whereas, 
far  from  being  inclined  to  change,  the  French-  \ 
man  is  the  most  enslaved  by  his  prejudices  and 
the  moat  boimd  up  in  routine.  Whether  the 
experience  of  the  62  years  which  have  passed 
since  this  last  opinion  was  expressed  has 
justified  it  I  shall  not  vonture  to  say ;  but  of  the  ; 
soundness  of  that  of  which  it  is  offered  as  an  ' 
ilhutration  no  reasonable  and  observant  man  . 
will,  I  think,  entertain  a  doubt.  i 

Among  the  letters    which  have   been  sent —  [ 
or,  aa  the  more  elegant  and  learned  writers  of  I 
.the  period  would  say,   transmitted— to  me  from  I 
TThb  Timks  offioe,  are  two  which  are  printed  to- 
day in  company  with  this  article.     One  of  them, 
that  in  regard  to  granunar  and  Cobbett,  is  pub- 
lished because  of  its  intrinsic  interest,  the  other 
because  it  furnishes  an  occasion.    In  regard  to 
■both  I  will    say  that    they  impress   me  some- 
■what    strangely,  because    the  writers    seem  to 
im  SgDoract  that  I  have  written  anything  upon 
Om  aabjeots  of  their  letters  except  the  very 
BTtldM  to  which  they  respectively  refer.-  One 
of  Una  teema  x>ot  to  have  read  eyen  the  pre- 
-T^tTtg  aacttola*  <tf  this  series.      It  is  somewhat 


what  he  has  already  said,  and  his  having  said 
irideh  is  the  vary  reason  of  his  being  asked  to 
izaat  the  same  snbjeot  again.     With  this  pass- 
ing remark,  which  q>pliee  to  the  letters  of  other 
oorrespondents,  I  turn  to  the  first  one  of  these. 
The  writer  seems  somewhat  startled  at  the  re- 
marks made  by  me  two  or  three  weeks  ago  in 
.  regard  to  the  futility  of  the  study  of  English 
'  grammar  so-called;   but  it  is  nearly  10  years 
:  since  mjr  essay,  "The  Grammarless  Tongue," 
!  wiiich  he  wlU  find  in  Worit  and  their  Vut,  the 
i  said  tongue  being  the    English,  startled  men, 
!  who,  if  not  philologically  wiser  than  my  cor- 
i  respondent,  make    much    more    philoteeieal 
I  pretense.     In    this    decade    there    has     been 
;  a      marked       change       of       opinion       upon 
I  this     subject.    English    grammars,     so-called, 
;  have  been  written  and  published  in  which  there 
:  hai  been  an  attempt  to  sweep  out  a  great  deal 
'  of  the  old  scholastic  rubbish  with  which  children 
:  were  crammed  and  choked  in  the  professed  ef- 
,  fort  to  teach  them  how  to  write  and  speak  their 
;  mother  tongue.     Grammars  have  been  dimin- 
;  ishing  in  volume,  the  diminution  being   due 
'  to  the   reduction .  in    quantity  of  dusty  non- 
<  sense — of  roles- which  were  shackles  instead  of 
]  guides,  and  of  examples  which  burdened  the 
I  memory,  but  which  did  not  teach  the  use  of 
:  words.    But  much  remains  to  be  done.  .  People 
:  have  yet  ftilly  to  grasp  the  fact  that  there  is 
really  no  such  thing  as  a  grammar  of  the  Eng-- 
lish  tgngue ;  that  all  systems  of  teaching  Eng-^ 
lish-speaking  children  their  mother  tongue  by 
rules  and  exceptions  and  observations'  are  use- 
[  less,  and  not  only  so,  but  worse,  because  they 
are  led  by  such  a  system  into  the  injurious  mis- 
apprehension that  writing  or  speaking  gram- 
matically is  something   else   than  writing  or 
speaking  naturally — something  else  than  saying 
in  plain  language  just  what  you  mean.    But  tha, 
good  time  is  coming,  and  is  not  very  far  off, 
'  when,  as  my  correspondent  so  earnestly  desires, 
no  English-speaking  boy  will  have  a  grammar- 
book  put  into  his  hand. 
I      As  to  William  Cobbett,  my  cotyespondent .  is 
entirely  right  as  to  the  vigor  and  clearness  of 
his  style   and   the  goodness  of   his    English. 
Equally  correct  is  he,  I  think,  in  his  apprecia- 
tion of  Cobbett's  English  Grammar.    I  know  it 
well,  and  have  read  it  with  groat  admiration, 
both  for  its  sound  teachings  and  the  excellence 
of    its    system.       If     EngUsh    Grammar    is 
to    be    taught    at    all    upon    the    old     prin- 
ciples   it   may    best    be    taught    from    Cob- 
bett's book ;    but  in  regard  to  the  relation    of 
Cobbett's   grammar  to  his    style,   I  think  my 
correspondent  is  altogether   wrong.       Cobbett 
would  have  written  as  he  did  if  he  had  never 
read  a  page  of  another  man's  grammar-book,  or 
written  a  page  of  his  own.    Withhim  the  gram- 
mar was  the  Toan.     He  wrote  clearly  and  strong- 
ly simply  because  he  thought  clearly  and  strong- 
ly.    He     was     bom    with    the    art    of    put- 
ting    things      in     language.      Probably     no 
English  writer  who   attained  any  distinction 
was  a  man  of  so  little  education  as  William  Cob- 
bett.   Of  htmible  birth,  he  passed  eight  years  of 
early  life  as  a  common  foot-soldier  in  the  British 
Army  in  Canada.        Having  married  another 
soldier's  daughter,  he  then  began  his  struggle 
for  the  means  of  supporting  the  large  family 
which  she  brought  him.     He  learned  English  in 
writing  it,  and  he  had  written  years,  and  with 
success,  before  he  thought  of  grammar.  He  was  a 
self-made   man,    and   in    language    he    was  a

Cobbett  did  not  write  his 
until  1819,  when  he  wa^i  07  ymrs  old.  This  was 
after  he  had  written  all  the  works  which  had 
brought  him  his  reputation,  and  after  ho  had 
translated  much  from  the  French,  in  learning 
which  language  he  was  of  course  obliged  to  go 
through  a  grammatical  study  of  it.  His  English 
Grammar  he  wrote  really  for  the  benefit  of  his 
grandchild,  whom  he  wished  to  have  the  benefit 
of  all  the  instruction  he  could  give  him ;  for 
Cobbett,  like  most  uneducated,  or  self-made 
self-educated  men,  had  an  exaggerated  notion 
of  the  value  of  education,  commonly  so  called. 

My  correspondent  asks,  dees  not  the  study  of 
Latin  teach  English  gramimar  ?  Ko,  not  at  all. 
First,  for  the  all-sufficient  and  never^too-of ten- 

-be-repeated  reason  that  there  is  no  English 
'^ramnuu-  to  be  taught ;  next,  because  the  struc- 
ture of  the  Liatin  language  and  of  the  English 
are  diametrically  unlike,  and  you  cannot  teach 
the  structure  or  use  of  one  thing  by  training  a 
pupil  to  the  construction  and  use  of  another  al- 
together different.  Indeed,  it  has  been  the 
curse  of  the  teaching  of  English  by  grammars, 
and  by  school-masters  in  the  last  75  years  or 
more,  and  particularly  in  "  America,"  that  the 
methods,  the  spirit,  the  structure,  and  the  ter- 
minology of  Latin  syntax  have  been  trans- 
ferred and  applied  to  the  English  tongue.  As 
well  might  a  horse  undertake  to  teach  an  eagle -to 
fly,  or  a  dolphin  to  swim. 

Of  the  positions  taken  in  this  and  my 
previous  article  upon  the  same  'subject  1  shall 
have  somewhat  to  say  hereafter. 

My  other  correspondent  is  aCOicted  about  the 
possessive  form  "St.  James's,"  and  entreats  to 
have  his  letter  published.  By  a  slip  of  the  pen 
in  my  last  article  I  wrote  the  Palace  of  St. 
James's  instead  of  the-Court  of  St.  James's ;  but 
this  should  not  have  misled  my  correspondent, 
for  I  referred  to  my  previous  article  in  which 
the  correctness  of  the  latter  expression  was 
fully  discussed.  We  ■  should  indeed  say  •  the 
Palace  of  St  Jame»  or  St.  Jama's  Palace ;  but 
not  the  Court  of  St.  James,  but  the  Court  of  St. 
Jame^s ;  that  is  the  Court  of '  St.  James's 
[palace].  .  The  notion  ■  that  the  use  of  the 
possessive  form  in  such  cases  implies  personal 
possession  is  worthy  only  of  a  pedant  and  a 
grammarian,  or ,  of  a  man  who  would  use  such 
,  a  thoroughly  un-English — I  will  not  say  non- 
sensical— phrase  as  ' "  St.  Paul  Cathedral,"  or 
"St.  James  Palace."  The  cathedral  is  dedi- 
'cated  to  St.  Paul,  the  palace  to  St.  James  ;  this 
in  no  way  justifies  ■  the  use  of  "St.  Paul"  and 
"St.  James "  as  a  qualification  of ' the  cathedral 
or  the  palace,  but;  does  justify  the  use  of  the 
possessive  form  of  ithe  saints'  names  as  imply- 
ing a  relation  of  teotectorship  over  the  build- 
ings dedicated  to  them.  I  have  nothing  else  to 
say  to  this  correspomlent,  except  to  agree  in  a 
modest  and  moderate  way,  and  with  some  quali- 
fications, with  his  sleeping  remark  that, 
"  Beally,  American  grammar  and  pronunciation 
in  general  is  shocking."  '

ENGLISH  GBAMMAB  ANP  COBBETT, 
Te  Oie Hdilor  of  Ou Sae-Tort  Tima : 

In  Bichard  Grant  'White's  admirable  essay  on 
"Every-day  English"  la  last  Sunday's  TiMSS,  he  calls 
the  study  of  English  grammar  an  absurd  and  useless 
•tudy,  declares  that  grammar  is  at  war  with  eonunon 
sense,  and  that  our  greatest  writer*  knew  nothing 
ot  grammar.  There  is  great  tratti  in  his  re- 
marks, startling  as  they  at  first  appear;  but  he 
makes  nevertheless  one  vital  mistake.  The  study  of 
grammar,  as  pozsned  in  our  eonunon  schools,  consist- 
ing chiefly  of  parsing  and  analyshig,  and  the  learn- 
ing of  rules  by  heart,  deserves  to  be  called  an  shinrd 
and  useless  study ;  bat  granunar  taught  by 
means  of  the  actual  wntings  or  eompoel- 
tions  of  the  acbolaxs,  and  not  at  all  until 
they  are  able  to  put  seutences  together, 
is  of  quite  a  dlfTerent  nature ;  it  is  the  only  way  in 
which  grammar  should  be  taught.  No  Amencan  ooy 
should  ever  get  a  grammar -book  in  bis  handa  :  the 
principles  of  grammar  can  be  well  and  profitably 
tAucht  orally,  without  book-  By  means  of  the  black- 
board  and  by  using  aentencea  conatmcted  on  the 
spot,  the  grammar  lesson  may  be  made  interesting 
and  profitable.  Bat — and  this  is  a  great  but — it  needs 
ttachert  to  do  this,  and  not  a  lot  of  superficially  and 
mechanically  taught  girls,  who  have  no  idea  of  teach- 
ing  except  with  a  text-book  in  their  hands  and  one  in 
the  hands  of  each  of  their  seholara. 

Moreover,  a  striking  proof  of  the  crroneousness  of 
Mr.  White's  assertion,  that  a  knowledge  of  grammar 
does  not  teach  one  to  write  well,  is  afforded  b/  the 
fact  that  the  very  best  writerof  English  that  ever 
lived  was  also  perhaps  the  best  EDglishgrammarian,- 
I  mean  the  celebrated  William  Cobbett.  There  is  per- 
haps  no  author  in  the  whole  range  of  English  literature 
who  wrote  more  clearly,  correctly,  forcibly,  and 
idiomatically 'than  this  man,  and  probably  no  man 
had  a  better  knowledge  of  KngUsh  grammar,  he  hav- 
ing written  three  graiumors  that  are  masterpieces 
each  in  its  way.  His  little  work  on  English  grammar 
Is  ^e  very  best  work  on  grammar  ever  printed, 
and  as  to  his  own  style  of  writing,  let  me  cite 
the  opinions  of  three  eminent  authorities :  A 
distingoished  Englishman — I  think  it  was  the 
poet  Southoy — said  that  if  he  were"  asked 
by  a  foreigner  to  give  him  a  specimen  of  pure  Eng- 
lish, he  would  cite  not  something  from  one  of  the 
learned  university-bred  authors,  but  some  passage 
from  the  woska  of  WUUam  Cobbett.  The  Loudon 
TiTnet  characterized  his  style  as  possessing  "  per- 
spicuity unequaled  and  inin'iitable  ;  homely,  muscu- 
lar vigor,  parity,  always  simple,  and  raclness,  oft^n 
elegant.'  Hazlitt  says  he  was  '•  unquestionably  not 
only  the  most  powerful  political  writer  of  tiie  day, 
but  one  of  the  best  writers  in  the  language — one  who 
wrote  and  spoke  plain,  broad,  downright  English." 
Now,  Cobbett  himself,  who  knew  nothing 
of  Latin,  attributed  his  power  and  facility 
in  the  use  of  the  jien  to  his  Vnowiedge  of  English 
grammar.  Conclusion  of  the  whole  matter  ;  Gram- 
mar OS  taught  in  the  modem  public  school  fashion 
is  utterly  useless  and  dreadfully  wearisome  ,-  gram- 
mar as  taught  iu  a  free  and  reasonable  manner,  with- 
out book,  causing  everything  to  be  Widertfood  and 
nothing  to  be  learned  by  heart,  after  the  German 
fashion,  rnu^t^sist  in  aiding  scholars  to  express  their 
tbouf^hts  correctly,  as  well  as  operate  beneficially  in 
tralnmg  their  uiihds. 

Mr.  White  says  that  our  great  Engh'sh  authors 
knew  notbinz  ox  any  grammar  except  Ijatiu.  Of 
coarse,  for  does  not  the  study  of  I^tin  teach  En;;- 
Ihih  grammar  1  One  of  the  chief  difficulties  of  Kng- 
lish  grammar  is  that  the  terms  are  all  iiatin.  At  the 
present  day  a  preferable  way  of  learning  Eng. 
lish  grammar  is  the  titudy  of  a  foreign 
Ueing  tongue  ;  when  properly  done,  by  scholars  at 
an  age  beyond  childhood,  there  is  perhaps  no  better 
way-  And  for  this  purpose  Cobbett's  French  Gram- 
mar is  one  of  the  best  works  exvuut.  I  speak  from 
experience.  It  was  probably  the  thorough  studv  of 
French  that  made  Cobbett  himself  uurli  an  excellent 
English  grammarian.  R.  W.\TKKS.

ABOUT  DOUBLE  POSSESSIVES. 

Totlie  SaUarofOie  NeteYnrli  l-iMa: 

My  only  object  in  writing  this  is  to  request 
Mr.  R-  Grant  'White,  whose  article  on  "  American 
Engliah  "  we  all  read  yesterday,  to  explain  why  he 
should  prefer  us  to  say  "  the  Palace  of  St. 
James's,"  instead  of  "the  Palace  of  St.  James." 
For  my  part  I  look  upon  "St.  James" 
here  oa  merely  a  title,  and  not  a  per- 
sonage possessing  a  palace,  (for  I  doubt  if  he  ever 
[  did  own  one.)  Then  why  should  we  write  "  St. 
James's  "  in  tho  posseiisivc  case,  as  though  we  under, 
stood  "  a  palace  belonging  tothat  celebrated  punwn- 
agef"  Anuif  weihooldput  it  inthe  possessive,  would 
not  "the  p,\]ace  of  St.  James's''  be  in- 
correct  I  For,  "as  wo  cannot  say  "the  apple 
of  the  boy's,''  why  should  we  waive  the 
law  in  honor  of  St.  James  I  True,  wo  generally  say 
■' St.  Paul's  Cathedral."  but  I  am  infinitely  aiore  In 
fsvor  of  "St.  Paul  Cathedral"  and  "St.  James 
Palace,"  using  the  words  merely  as  titles-  Al  least 
this  is  my  opinion,  and  if  1  am  in  error  should  be 
glad  to  be  convinced,  for  really  American  gmmniar 
and  pronunciation  in  general  is  so  shocking  that 
some  one  ou^ht  to  enlufhten  the  public,  and  entreat 
tliem  not  only  to  hear,  but  to  mark  and  inwardly  di- 
gest— in  other  words,  to  put  into  practice. 

Pardon  me  for  asking  you  to  pnblijth  this,  but  it  is 
written  In  a  good  cause.  AI.EX.  DOYLE.

RELEASED  O.V  lECHXICALITIES. 
Two  shoplifters,  named  Augusta  Hentz 
and  Rose  McLean,  were  arrested  in  the  early  part  of 
May  lost  by  Detectives  Folk  and  Corwin,  of  the 
Brooklyn  Police,  on  a  charge  of  stealing  calico  wrap- 
pers, valued  at  $4,  from  the  dry -goods  store  of  E.  J. 
Swan,  and  a  piano  cover,  v&taed  at  $^7.  from  the 
store  of  W.  &  11.  Mumford,  of  Fulton-street,  Brook- 
lyn- They  pleaded  guilty  l}efore  Jostico 
Bloom  on  two  charges,  one  of  petit  larceny 
and  the  other  of  irrand  larceny,  and  were  sen- 
tenced to  the  Penitentiary  for  three  months 
each  on  each  cliargo.  On  the  6th  of  June 
Coonsellor  Keady,  who  had  defended  the  women  in 
the  Justice's  court,  brought  Ro.^e  McLean  before 
Judge  McCne,  in  the  Brooklyn  City  Court,  and  pro- 
imred  her  discharge  on  the  second  commitment,  on 
the  ground  of  an  error  in  the  name  in  that  commit- 
ment. Her  first  three  months'  sentence  exp'ired  on 
Friday,  and  she  was  t.ierefore  discharged  from  cus- 
tody on  that  day.  Augusta  Ilentz,  the  other  prisoner, 
was  taken  tiefore  Jndge  AlcCue,  in  the  Brooklyn  City 
Court,  by  Mr.  Kead.v  on  a  writ  of  hahejis  corpus,  and 
her  discharge  from  imprisonment  on  the  charge  of 
grand  larceny  demanded  on  the  ground  of  want  of 
jurisdiction  on  the  part  of  the  Justice's  court  which 
sentenced  her-  The  value  of  the  Diano  cover  was 
stated  In  the  charge  'io  be  $27,  which  constituted 
grand  larceny,  and  ovj^  such  a  crime  the  Justice  had 
no  jurisdiction,  except  to  hold  the  prisoner  for  the 
Grand  Jury.  After  hearing  the  argument,  .Tudge 
McCue  granted  the  prisoner's  discliarge,  and  both 
women  are  now  at  large.  Augusta  Heutz  is  a  native 
of  Waterburj'.  Conn.,  and  had  never  before  l)een  ar- 
rested- Rose  McLeanjs  a  resident  of  Xew-Jersey, 
and  the  mother  of  eiglit  children.

Hospital  of  St.  John's  Guild  oceuired  yesterday, 
and  was  largely  availed  of  by  the  class  for  whose 
benefit  the  charity  was  established.  The  route  se-

Kull  and  around  Staten  Island  The  sloping  shores 
of  Kew-Jerney  and  Staten  Island,  freshened  into  a 
livelier  green  by  a  parsing  shower  ;  the  quiet  beauty 
of  the  landscape,  and  the  strengthening  breeze  ^that

A  WAITER  OrERCHAROiyO. 
On  Thursday  last  John  Coyne,  one  of  the 
waiters  at  Cable's  Coney  Island  Hotel,  was  detected 
in  the  act  of  overcharging  a  customer,  and  was 
promptly  discharged  by  the  bead-waiter,  who  ordered 
him  to  report  to  the  cashier,  moke  a  settlement,  and 
depart.  Instead  of  reporting  to  the  cashier  Coyne,  it  is 
slleged,  went  to  his  room  and  prepared  to  leave,  hav 
ing  in  his  possession  $7,  which  he  hod  take  in  at  the 
tables.  He  was  arrested  as  he  was  about  to  leave  the 
hotel,  and  tajcen  before  Justice  Voorhles,  and  by  him 
sentenced  to  10  days  in  the  County  Jail  and  to  pay  a 
fine  of  $25.  Yesterday  Counselor  gidgeway  appUed 
to  Judge  Reynolds,  tn  the  Brooklj-n  "City  Court,  for  a 
•writ  ot  habeas  corpus  in  favor  of  Coyne,  claiming 
that  the  commitment  upon  which  he  is  confined  in 
jail  is  faulty,  and  that  he  'was  tried  on  charxes  of  eiU' 


dement  and  grand  larceny,  both  of  which  crimes

To  tSe  Editor  of  fktStv-Torlc'nmu: 

Your  correspondent  '*  A  Dollar  a  Day,"  who 
»o  mercilessly  critloUM  Mrs.  Mary  Forrest's  er- 
"tnvacsnt  household,  coss^xting  of  lier  hosbuid,  self, 
aad  firs  children,  the  cost  of  which  is  f8  34  p«r 
weelE,  deserves  in  hsr  torn  to  be  critiei«ed.  And  »s  1 
look  npon  this  very  simple  question  with  great  in- 
terest in  an  economical  li^t,  I  may  be  pardoned  to 
point  oat  the  erron  of  yonr  new  (and  I  recret  to 
see)  anonymons  correspondent. 

"  A  DoUjuf  ft  Day"  says  to  Mrs.  Mary  Poirest :  "  I 
wonid  like  to  show  Sister  Mary  how  she  can  make 
her  money  go  a  deal  farther  than  in  the  way  she  in- 
dicates in  her  table  of  expenses.  Mary  begins  thus : 
Rent,  weekly,  $3.  That  item  should  be  *1,  or  cer- 
^fkinly  npt  more  tlian  91  25."  Now,  that  la  exMOtly 
what  I  said,  that  $2  per  week  for  rent  is  too  mimh, 
and  I  have  shown  that  in  1860-61  the  rent  for  Mrs. 
Forrest's  rooms  would  only  have  been  $1  17. 

But  does  your  correspondent  "  a  Dollar  a  Day" 
mean  to  say  that  a  family  consisting  of  seven 'souls 
could  get  a  lodging  that  has  some  three  rooms  for  $1 
or  $1  25  a  weak  f  If  she  does,  she  would  do  well  to 
show  a-  few  thousand  families  sxich  cheap  tene- 
ments. Or,  on  the  other  hand,  does  she  mean  to 
teQ  a  family  consisting  of  seven  souls  to  hire  one 
single  room  for  $1  a  we^  and  sleep,  cook,  wash, 
and  liv»ln  it  t  Why  not  tall  Mrs.  Forrest  to  go  and 
live  under  a  railway  arch  at  once  and  save  even  the 
%X  rent  per  week.  On  investigation  I  am  per- 
fectly satisfied  that  the .  tenement  of  Mrs.  Forrest 
at  92  a  week  is  not  over-snraptuous.  In  fact,  I 
doubt  whether  it  is  even  healthy  for  a  family  of 
seven  beings.  Mrs.  Forrest,  therefore,  cannot  be 
charged  with  extravagance  in  rent. 
Your  correspondent  goes  on  to  say : 

"  Second— Barrel  of  wood,  25  cents.  That  Item  Is  ex-

Well^  the  midn  question  is,  is  41  cents  for  fael, 
whether  it  is  made  np  with  more  wood  than  coal,  or 
more  coal  than  wood,  Xoo  mnch  per  week  f  It  seems 
from  the  criticism  of  your  correspondent  that  the 
amotmt  is  not  extravagant,  but  the  way  the  fuVl  is 
used.  But.  your  clever  correspondent  says,  "to/buy 
coal  by  the  pailful  anyway  i^  a  dear  way  of  odtting 
fneL"  No  doubt  It  is.  But  to  buy  it  by  the  ton  at 
$5,  which  is  Infinitely  a  better  way.  requires  first 
of  all  $5;  and  second,  a  place  wherein  to  kiep  the 
coaL  Now,  where  is  Mrs.  Forrest  to  get  $5  af 
to  spare,  and  where  a  pince  to  keep  the  cosJ.  especial- 
ly if  she  is  to  UvH  only  in  one  room  at  SI  rent  a 
week  f    Your  correepondent  goes  on  to  say : 

"  Next,  burial  Roelety.  22  cent*.  Put  that  money  in 
the  savings  book.  Miu^%  and  attend  toyour  own  funeniL" 

Now,  I  looked  upon  that  item  with  peculiar  inter- 
est. These  societies,  if  well  managed,  are  moet  be- 
nevolent in  their  wav.  and  elevate  the  working 
claa»eK  inaiuiiuch  ba  to^eep  up  a  certain  pride  not  to 
be  buried  as  paupers.  How  flippant  sterns  the  re- 
mark that  Mrs.  Forrest  would  do  better  to  attend 
to  her  own  funeral.  What  a  moral  teacher  your  cor- 
r^pondent  must  be. 

The  next  criticism  is  : 

"  Next,  oat-uual,  1 4  rents;  that  item  you  would  do 
well  to  double  ou  aimuotof  the  onildreu.  Next,  two 
pounds  of  totter,  tiU  C4Uitii ;  make  that  one  pound  at  i!5 
ctnts." 

This  piere  of  advice  moans  simply  thw  :  Staff  your 
children,  like  young calvtRt,  with  double  the  amonnt  of 
uat-meal,  and  put  &»  little  or  no  batter  in  the  porridge 
as  you  can.  To  tell  a  family  of  seven  to  live  on  one 
pound  of  butter  a  week,  which  is  a  trifle  over  two 
and  a  quarter  ounces  a  day.  entitles  the  advisor  to 
take  the  place  of  hpad  matron  in  the  English  work- 
house where  Oliver  Twist  asked  for  "more." 

"  Next,  three  and  a  half  pounds  of  sugar,  40  oentx  ; 
surely  that  can  b«  cntdowuto  two  pounu,  at  lU  cents 
per  pound,  20  cents." 

Mrs.  Forrest  n^es  one-half  pound  of  sncar  a  day. 
She  ha«  five  young  children — the  oldoHt  9,  the  young- 
est 1  year  old.  She  seems  tu  uourish  these  young 
one.s  cmefly  on  porridge,  tea,  and  inillc.  How  In  the 
world  one-half  pound  of  sugar  a  day  is  extravagant 
la  certainly  strange.  Your  correspondent  goes  on*,  to 
Bay: 

"  Two  cakee  of  soap.  14  '•«nt£.  Mary,  if  you  could  only 
buy  a  box  ahead  you  could  Have  half  that  lc«ut.'' 

Of  course,  *ho  would  do  better  provided  she  had 
the  money  to  buy  a  box  of  soap  at  one  time. 

"  NL'xt,  tea,  125  cents  ;  I  guoei  that  Is  aboat  ri^t, 
ilary." 

Gloria  in  fxadsi* !  here  is.  at  last,  one  item  that  is 
right.    The  next  criticism  is : 

"  Next,  two  quarts  of  potatoes  daily.  4*2  cauIs,  I  hny 
potatoes  at  50  c^nts  pt-r  huuhnl,  about  1  ^j  conti  jmr 
quart.  Nt-xt.  two  M-cent  loaves  daily  :  thii.t  seonu  to  me 
dfttr,  for  the  reason  that  I  moke  my  own  bread," 

If  Mrs.  Forrest  haK  to  buy  coal  by  the  pailful, 
^soap  by  the  cake,  on  acwiunt  of  the  stato  of  her  ex- 
■  chequer,  bow  Is  she  to  buy  potatoes  by  the  bushel  ? 
-Xn  for  baking  l^er  own  bread,  considering  »lie  has  to 
attend  to  her  household,  to  washing  and  ironing,  to 
drefislug  and  keeping  her  five  children,  to  cooking  her 
family '»  food,  she  may  be  excused,  not  fi«i<ling  time 
for  baking  bread  too. 

"  Meat.  20  nrnts,  or  $1  40  per  week.  That  is  hlgh,and 
should  uot  bo  more  than  (1. 

ilrs.  Forre.st  s^Uitod  she  uses  lOJ-i  pounds  of  meat 
per  week,  which  is  one  and  one-half  pounds  por  day. 
1  suppose  thftfouader  of  Mrs.  Forre.st's  extravagant 
household  ia  a  stalwart  working  man,  who,  if  uot 
nourlahcd  with  nt  least  one-half  pound  of  meat  a 
day.  would  soon  lie  in  a  condition  to  see  his  whole 
family  cullapb^,  and  one  pound  of  meat  between. 
bay  Mm.  Forrest  and  three  children,  respectively 
agud  i*.  7,  and  5  years,  is,  to  say  the  least  of  it,  verj- 
modest  indeed.  And  now  comes  the  last  criticism  on 
po(jr  Mrs.  Forrest's  beer: 

"  rs«9Luu  the  suiali  itemji,  c-umes  the  beer,  37  cents. 
Oh.  d«ar.  alar>-.  how  can  vou  Kpend  37  rents  for  beer  f 
That  ii  out  of  all  rea»on.  if  you  want  to  retain  your  good 
looks,  and  not  be  a  big.  fat,  groas.  soggy  woman,  like  the 
CngUidi  women,  (when  they  pa^  3~>  cir  iO.\  (rive  up  the 
beer  and  take  cold  water  or  a  little  more  tea  iustiad.'' 

Never  mind,  Mrs.  Forrest,  you  were  honest  enough 
to  own  the  beer,  and  yon  shall  not  lack  a  de- 
fender for  it.  It  is  infinitely  better  for  a  woman  who 
nourishes  her  babes  to  dnnk  a  pint  of  beer  a  day 
than  to  forego  the  duty  nature  has  imposed  on  her 
by  shiftinr:  the  responsibility  to  a  glass  bottle,  witli 
which  children  are  not  raised,  but  chiefly  untimely 
slain,  in  this  countr>*.  And  it  is  by  far  preferable  to 
become  in  looks,  figure,  and  health,  after  the  age  of 
40  yean),  like  the  majority  of  Engltiih  women,  than 
to  be  a  faded,  tniu,  khIIow  phantom.  Drink  your 
b«r,  Mrs.  Knrreet ;  nurse  your  babes,  and  people 
this  great  country  with  a  healthy  race.

MARY  FORREST  EXPLAINS, 

A  REPLY  TO   UEB  CRITICS— SHE    HAS  NO   PA- 
TIENCE      WITH        THE  DOLLAB-A-DAY 
THEORY. 
To  the  Mditor  of  tke  X<nc-  Tork  Time*  : 

I  see  my  article  of  the  12th  inst.  called  forth 
three  different  suggestions,  the  first  of  which  com- 
mences with  a  quotation  from  Mr.  Greeley,  which 
was  ntterly  uncalled  for,  and,  to  use  a  sentence  of  Josh 
Billings'  philosophy  in  the  New- York  Weeidy,  (a  paper 
my  more  leam«»d  sister  despises,)  *' I  don't  care  how 
much  a  man  or  woman  abuses  me,  if  they  will  only 
lie  when  they  do  it ;  if  I  can't  beat  a  lie,  I  aint  got 
any  right  to  live  ;"  and  for  the  benefit  of  the  writer 
I  must  say  I  cannot  belong  to  -that  class,  as  I  never 
allow  my  honsehold  expenses  to  exceed  the  half  of 
my  income  unless  something  unavoidable  occurs. 
Neither  do  I  belong  to  the  class  to  which  I  fear  the 
writer  belongs,  who  will  neither  live  themselves,  nor 
give  others  a  cliance  to  live,  and  who,  too  much 
ashamed  to  let  the  ^orld  know  how  she 
can  starve,  has  neglected  to  add  her  name,  for  want 
of  which  (so  as  not  to  be  behind  in  endoaring  ex- 
preaelons)  I  shall  designate  her  as  Mrs.  Finch.  Well, 
dear  Sister  Pinch,  I  did  not  ask  how  a  fam  ily  could 
starve  on  a  dollar  a  day,  neither  did  I  say  how  I 
bought  my  articles-  I  merely  reduced  everything  to 
a  weekly  consumption  to  show  what  a  family  with 
an  income  of  a  dollar  a  day  could-he  supposed  to  livo 
on.  Aliout  the  only  thing  you  say  I  do  not  use  too 
much  of  Is  tea.  Ah !  Sister  Pinch,  I  am  not  the  only 
woman  you  liave  dissected  over  a  cup  of  that  ener- 
vating beverage.  Now  I  will  endeavor  to  show  you, 
nt  yoor  own  figures,  (which  in  regard  to  rent,  sugar, 
and  Ths  Tiu£.s.  are  not  to  be  fotmd  at  that 
price  in  Newark,)  how  you  have  failed,  far  wide  of 
the  mark,  to  answer  my  question :

This  leaves  the  22  cents  I  invest  in  the  burial  so- 
ciety, which  pays  for  the  burial  of  six  persons,  to  be 
saved  against  a  time  of  need  ;  and  83  cents  to  be 
used  in  cli>'>thing,  also  thread,  needles,  stove-polish, 
ahoe-blacking,  to  replace  broken  crockery,  and  every 
other  little  article  that  goes  to  make  up  a  well-or- 
dered household.  Sister  Pinch's  bill  of  fare  will  sup  - 
ply  a  familr  of  seven  with  a  scanty  supply  of  oat- 
mei^  porridge  for  breakfast,  with  the  addition  of  a 
qaart  of  nflk  divided  among  the  seven,  two  qttarts 
potatoes,  %ad  14^4  cents  worth  of  meat  for  dinner 
among  thn  seven.  A  very  good  dinner  conld  be  Xaade 
for  that  amount,  with  the  addition  of  a  few  v^eta* 
bles  and  a  little  more  fuel  than  Slater  Pinch  woold 
■Saw  to  aaok  U.    Vor  taa  a  twiMMuuMl  iaa£  of  bread. 


with  tha  addition  ai  hottar,  ai  long  as  the  poimd 
of  batter  laeted  after  that  put  the  plate  on 
tha  table  and  jtist  imagine  the  batter 
is  on  It— and  if  the  family  like  milk  in  their  tea  a 
little  of  the  quart  most  be  Boalded  and  aaved  for  that 
imrposa ;  any  bread  left  from  tea  mnst  be  saved  to 
add  to  breakfast  and  dinner.  I  never  on  any  oocount 
let  children  have  any  bread  to  eat  between  meals. 
Then  if  the  bread-winner  (who  ia  euppoeed  to  be  a 
human  being  and  not  a  machine  wotmd  up  with  a 
key,  that  would  work  on  stndght  ahead)  happens  to 
loee  a  day  by  siekneis,  and  thtis  lose  his  dE^Oar— per- 
haps two  or  three  of  them — what  conld  that  family 
have  to  live  on  after  paying  for  the  medicine  that 
eared  him,  without  paying  for  tiie  doctor  at  all  f 
Th^  most  find  something  to  eat  eome where,  and 
generally  will  get  a  few  artidea  at  some  grocery 
on  credit,  the  grocer  being  generally  the 
loeeT,QU„  except  in  the  case  of  a  single 
mam  vm>^  few  c&n  pay  back  debts  off  a  dollar  a  day- 
Nom^uter  Pinch,  as  I  sea  you  are  an  admirer  of 
Mr.  Beeeher,  and  could  not  stop  to  discuss  the  non- 
sense I  attributed  to  him.  allow  me  to  say  here,  if 
Mr.  Beeeher,  in  the  character  of  a  Christian  minister, 
could  have  taught  bis  congregation  what  his  Master 
taught,  to  do  unto  others  as  they  would  be  done  by, 
he  would  have  instigated  a  spirit  of  brotherly  feel- 
ing, and  helped  to  quell  thts  unhappy  relations  ex- 
Istiilg  between  employer  and  employe ;  and  if  he  can 
aay  nothing  In  favor  of  the  working  class,  but  feels 
impelled  to  insult  them  by  describing  them  as  igno- 
rant, uneducated,  and  inferior — evidently  dotermiued 
to  try  and  deprive  them  of  any  chance  they  might 
have  to  rise  to  be  superior  by  crushing  them—let 
him  mind  his  own  business,  which  is  to  keep 
the  congregation  of  Plymouth  Church  in  good  hu- 
mor and  let  the  working  man  alone.  There  is  not 
much  Christianity  in  telling  others  to  do  what  you 
would  not  do  yourself.  1  wotild  like  to  ask  Mr. 
Beeeher  what  is  the  difference  between  a  man  and 
a  working  man.  Mr.  Beeeher  says  we  nnedncated 
people  are  small  in  the  head  and  small  in  the  waist ; 
thus  we  are  inferior.  The  Scotch  people  do  not  stfree 
with  Mr.  Beeeher  In  oue  respect;  they  say,  "oig 
head  and  little  wit."  I  never  heard  any  of  the 
most  learned  of  my  countrymen  say  the  waist  had 
anything  to.  do  with  the  intellect,  but  J  am  thank- 
ful to  him  for  the  information ;  and  if  ever 
my  waist  gets  bpyoud  the  usual  size  I 
shall  know  my  totellectis  improving.  Kow.  Sister 
Pinch,  a  few  words  more  and  I  have  done.  Y'ou  ad- 
vise me  to  i^ve  up  my  daily  piut  of  beer,  if  I  want  to 
retain  my  good  looks  and  not  grow  big,  fat,  gross, 
and  soggy,  uke  the  English  women.  I  could  not  pos- 
sibly do  so  tmless  compelled,  as  I  take  it  for  the  very 
purpose  of  keeping  at  my  average  weight  while  nurs- 
ing. And  now,  dear  Sister  Pinch,  allow  me  to  give 
you  a  word  of  advice.  .Never  apjdy  the  word  soggy 
to  a  woman;  apply  it  to  yonr  bread,  which  mttstbe 
B*^g7t  ^B  you  use  so  little  of  it;  and,  when 
you  attempt  to  blow  your  own  trumpet, 
always  use  your  own  ideas.  I  have  seen 
that  expression  abont  English  '  wom^i 
before,  in  an  article  treating  on  the  different  customs 
and  appearance  of  Amencan  and  English  women 
after  they  had  attained  a  certain  age.  and  should  I 
live  to  attain  that  age  I  would  rather  be  a^stout, 
matronly  woman  than  a  lean,  lank,  and  scraggx*  one. 
As  to  good  looks,  I  trust  to  nattire.  and  would  neither 
regulate  my  diet  to  attain  them  nor  ivfsort  to  art  to 
improve  them.  So  adieu,  dear  Sister  Pinch.  Start  a 
boardinc-hoa»e,  and  if  you  get  any  boarders  teach 
them  self-denial,  practice  it  yourself,  and  along  with 
rigid  economy  you  will  save  far  more  than  a  dollar 
a  day. 

Heading  the  views  of  "Vegetarian"  brought  to  my 
memori'  an  old  sUjrj-  of  an  eminent  Scotch  doctor, 
who  had  a  gr.*Ht  antipathy  to  listening  to  long  com-  , 

glaiutfi  from  his  patients.  He  was  visited  one  day 
y  a  young  girl  and  her  mother,  the  mother  describ- 
ing her  daugtittgr's  ailment,  saving  she  had  no  appe- 
tite for  anything  but  vegetables,  which  she  described 
as  greeuH.  and  after  rhyming  over  all  the  different 
Bor^  she  could  part^e  of,  wound  up  with.  '"Deed, 
doctor,  Rhe  cauna  eat  naef  hing  at  a'  except  it's  green. " 
when  the  doctor,  out  of  au  patience,  exclaimed. 
"  Lord  bless  my  sool,  could  she  eat  a  fiddler's  bag  I" 
So,  o-s  the  poor  girl  could  not  masticate  a  fiddlers 
bag.  neither  can  the  average  workman  subsist  on  fruit, 
vegetablcit,  orgraios  alone.  What  is  food  forone  man 
is  unpalatable  to  another ;  and  even  were  it  not  so.  there 
orestiil  the  other  necessaries  to  be  conaidered.  It  is  au 
old  saying  that  idleoess  covereth  a  man  with  rags;  but 
I  think  honest  labor  at  $1  a  day  (except  in  the  ca^e  of 
a  itingle  num)  will  not  cover  hun  even  with  rags,  ex- 
reptho  and  his  family  live  or  starve  on  com -meal 
mnsb  three  times  a  day  all  the  year  round.  Those 
who  have  to  exist  on  :^1  a  day  with  a  family  of 
growing  children  know  it  to  be  true.  If  such  men 
an  Mr.  Beeeher  and  "Vegetarian"  consider  it  the 
lack  of  knowledge  and  education  on  the  part  of 
the  working  class  ttiat  makes  the  times  hard. 
Kurely  there  has  been  a  great  wont  of  discretion  in 
the  selection  of  the  public  school  teachers  that  tauj^ht 
the  present  generiition  :  for  although  the  majority 
may  have  Men  poor,  still  they  could  not  all 
lie  blockheads.  If  the  foreign  element  is  meant. 
(1  speak  for  my  own  couatrymen.)  very  few  are 
without  a  good  common  education  and  a  trade,  and 
gtmerally  make  good  citizens,  and  being  a  cautious, 
reasoning  neople.  are  the  hutt  to  find  fault  if  not  trod- 
den on,  when,  like  their  national  emblom.  they  are  apt 
to  Sting.  Jnliet  Carson,  the  t  bird  correBpondent,  is  the 
only  one  of  the  three  who  coiues  near  the  mark.  Her 
offer  ought  to  be  accepted,  and  her  pamphlet  largely 
patronized,  if  It  shows  the  working  man  how  he  can 
provide  his  family  with  three  hearty  meals  per  day, 
and  make  the  income  that  thousands  have  to  exist  on 
t-over  all  expenses.  M.\HV  FOKRE.ST.

A  WORD  TO  WORKIXG  MLX. 
To  thf  Eiiiior  of  Vie  Xew-Tork  Tiir  s  : 

Will  you  allow  me  space  in  your  columns  to 
have  a  plain  talk  with  my  comrades  the  working 
men  ?  I  am  deeply  pained  for  the  class  to  which  I 
belong  on  account  of  the  organized  lawlessness  of 
late  shown  by  a  oertain  portion  of  them.  The  first 
step  in  that  direction  I  trace  back  to  the  mistaken 
act  of  the  Brotherhood  of  Engineers  ou 
tho  (fraud  Trunk  Railroad  last  "Winter.  Pres- 
ident Qowen,  of  Ke:tding.  then  Rhowed  himself  capa- 
ble of  arbitrary  and  tyrannical  conduct  to  his 
workmen  by  ordering  them  to  leave  the  brotheriiood 
for  a  mere  myth.  The  deplorable  loss  of  life  and  de- 
struction of  property  that  has  occurred  in  the  rail- 
road strikes  is  due  to  the  dangerous  and  foolish 
teachings  of  the  working  men  themselves.  Any  man 
or  oi^auized  body  of  men  have  a  right  to  obtain  tho 
highest  wogcs  tbey  can  for  thoir  labor ;  to  leave  off 
working  if  not  Hufticlently  paid  ;  bat  once  suspending 
work,  the  contract  l>etween  him  or  them  and  that 
particular  employer  ceases.  That  employer  has 
then  a  right  to  hire  another  man  or  men  wherever  he 
can  get  them,  and  for  such  wages  as  he  and  they 
do  agree  upon.  But  what  do  we  find  as  the  prevail- 
ing custom.  A  man  or  number  of  men  agree  to  sus- 
pend work  and  he  or  they  determine  t^t  no  other 
man  or  men  shall  be  allowed  to  work  iiT  their  places 
for  the  wages  they  are  dissatiHtied  witli  It  in  time 
for  laboring  men  to  cut  loose  from  such  hurtful  and 
dangerous  teachings  as  this.  Just  how  and 
when  we  are  gotng  to  l»etter  onr  at  present 
miiserable  surroundings  it  is  hard  to  tell.  But  there 
are  certain  things  all  working  men  can  do  in  their 
proper  season  toward  that  end.  Hon^  to  mouth  was 
the  rule  in  the  times  gone  by.  If  a  man  cannot  ob- 
tain work  at  his  own  calling,  let  him  ^  to  work  at  the 
best  work  he  can  get.  Let  us  economize  in  our  habits 
and  the  sui>errtuities  of  dress  whenever  and  where- 
ever  there  is  the  least  room.  Every  laboring  man 
lihould  quit  spending  a  c«nt  on  any  kind  of  intoxi- 
cating drinks ;  it  drains  our  pockets  and  our 
tiealth.  ii^pend  neither  money  nor  time  In  trash 
novels,  but  when  able  subscribe  for  and  read 
an  able  leading  paper  that  will  uphold  you  in  right. 
Unions  of  worldng  men  in  my  judgment  are  Iwth 
necessary  and  proper,  but  to  afford  the  needed  bene- 
fit to  those  concerned,  every  branch  of  labor  should, 
if  possible,  be  represented,  and  all  the  various  branch- 
es should  bo  amalgamated  under  one  head,  contribu- 
ting as  each  branch  agrees,  with  corresponding  ratio 
of  henetlts,  and  to  petition  oar  law-makers  to  legal- 
ize such  facilities  as  are  needed  to  that 
end.  The  time  is  at  hand  for  all  elaas- 
e.s  of  laboring  men  to  try  to  improve 
thfir  position  by  and  through  their  voting  prK-i- 
leges,  but  I  have  not  much  to  say  and  a  great  deal  to 
Icam  at  presant  on  that  subject ;  but  if  as  working 
men  we  conclude  we  eon  do  better  by  forming  a 
working  men's  party,  letustu  work  deliberately,  study 
the  situation  calmly  and  Intelligently  as  we  know 
how.  With  the  majority  of  workin^g  men  it  is  too 
much  the  custom  to  be  too  ajwthetic  on  this  point 
save  and  excepting  at  certain  spasmodic  intervals. 
We  may  all  leam  politically  by  studying  the  present 
crisiR  in  ITrance.  Tliere  the  powers  that  be  are  en- 
gageil  in  very  disreputable  business.  Gagging  the 
Republican  press  while  allowing  free  license 
to  those  jotumols  willing  to  support  tho  Presi- 
dent and  his  pliant  tools  throtigh  thick  and  thin. 
Courting  the  bayonets,  (if  percliancethey  should  need 
the  men  who  wjeld  the  instruments  of  destruction  to 
steep  their  hands  in  their  countrymen's  blood, )  and 
trying  to  hoodwink  the  people  into  consenting  to  an 
abridgment  of  their  liberties  and  rightu,  and  assisting 
tho  powers  that  be  in  placing  a  closer  muzzle  on 
their  moutlis,  and  helping  to  rivet  the  chains 
still  faster  round  their  own,  ^he  people's]  necks- 

Fellow-workmen,  if  wo  try  indiviaxially  and  col- 
lectively to  help  ourselves,  it  will  do  us  a  deal  more 
good  tiian  denouncing  tne  Bepublicau  uid  Demo- 
cratic parties  and  the  Administration.  From  what 
I  have  seen  of  President  Hayes  and  his  Cabinet, 
I  believe  tills  to  be  the  most  honest  and  capable  Ad- 
ministration we  have  had  for  a  number  of  years. 
Commnnism  is  a  red-haudcd  demon,  whose  grave 
ought  to  be  dug  by  the  handti  of  labor.

A    MORTGAGED   HOR&E   TAEEX    FR021 
CANADA. 

The  Oswego  Timw  of  Friday  says:  "About 
three  weeks  since  a  fin^  Hambletonlan  stallion,  upon 
which  one  EUzur  Little,  ol  Syracuse,  held  a  mortgage 
for  $1,000,  was  taken  to  Canada  unknown  to  the 
mortgagee,  by  one  Horace  Williams,  the  mortgageor. 
Mr.  Little,  suspecting  that  the  horse  had  been  taken 
to  Kingston,  encaged  Mr.  I.  D.  Garfield,  of  Pratt, 
Brown  &  Garlield.  attorneys,  Syracuse,  and  the  two 
started  for  Kingston  at  3  o'clock  yesterday  morning 
via  the  Syracuse  Northern  Railroad  to  Cape  Vincent 
and  steamer  to  Kingstou,  arriving  there  at  abont 
noon.  They  were  not  long  in  search  ot'  the  hor^e 
liefore  he  was  found  in  a  bam  close  by.  Mr.  Garfield 
quietly  put  the  bridle  over  the  horse's  head,  and  In 
resp<inse  to  the  question^y  a  young  fellow  who  was 
in  charge  of  the  bam.  ■  What  does  this  mean  f '  re- 
pUed,  'Oh,  it's  all  right;  we  Just  wish  to 
bee  if  the  horse  has ,  any  good  pointa.' 
The  horse  was  led  down  to  the  dock  atid 
placed  on  board  the  steamer  Champlain  for  this  port, 
but  none  too  soon,  for  shortly  after  the  horse  had 
been  xdaced  on  hoard  th«  boat  a  lama  cxowd.  includ- 


ing WilUaou,  his  lawyer,  and  a  lot  e<  Sutton 
ronghs,  came  on  the  dock  with  the  intention  of  recor- 
ering  the  hpr»«  by  force,  but  were  jprevented  from 
going  on  board  the  boat  by  the  Pollee,  as  the  crowd 
were  uot  armed  with  warrants  for  the  posaeeaion  <^ 
the  horse.  While  awaiting  the  departure  of  the  boat 
international  law  Was  freely  discussed  by  Messrs. 
Kirkpatrick  and  Oarfield.  We  do  not  know  who 
came  ont  ahead  on  the  azgnment,  but  we  know  that 
Little  came  out  ahead  on  the  horse,  which  arrived 
here  this  morning,  and  was  Immediately  shipped  by 
rail  to  S>Tacuse.  The  stallion,  we  understuid,  was 
valued  at  1^6,000,  and  has  tarotted  in  2:24."

GxyrucKKN  :    I  had  the  honor  of  addresshsg  a 
petition  to  the  Mayor  and  Common  Council  on  the 
1st  of  ■  September,  1868,  wliich  was  transmitted  by 
Mayor    ConwM"  to    the    Council,  and    by  tho    latter 
respectfully  referred  to  the  Fin&uce  Committees  of 
both    boards,  relative  to  my  claim  against  the  city, 
amounting  then    to  the  sum  of    $2,590,391.    The 
petition  being  referred,  it  was  followed  by  an  elab- 
orate report  inm  the  committee,  who  stated  in  part 
aa  follows  : 

"Your   committee    did   not   deem   it   within  the 

f>rovince  ot  their  duty  to  give  any  opinion  upon. the 
egality  of  the  claim  of  the  petitioner  ;  but,  as  it  is  a 
question  of  great  importance,  not  only  to  the  dty. 
bat  to  a  lazge  number  of  persons  who  have  acquired 
titles  to  property  from  the  city,  and  in  view  of  the 
magnitude  of  the  claim,  and  that  the  other  duties  of 
the  City  Attorney  precluded  him  from  giving  his  time 
and  attention  to  the  study  of  this  claim  and  case,  we 
have  asked  the  opinion  of  attorneys  of  known  abiliiy, 
who  have  no  bias  of  opinion  for  or  against  the  claim- 
ant, and  whose  opinion,  attached  hereto,  we  re- 
commend  as  a  basis  for  final  action,  and  offer  the 
accompanying  resolution  for  the  sanction  of  the 
Counol." 

I  have  now  only  to  call  your  attention  to  the  opin- 
ion of  K.  Woouridge,  Esq^.,  attorney,  addressed  to 
the  "  Honorable  Chairman  and  members  of  the  Fin- 
ance Committees, "  specially  charged  by  the  Coimcil 
with  a  thorough  investi^tion  of  this  claim,  and  his 
answer  to  interrogatories  propounded  by  the  com- 
mittee. He  was  sustained  by  0.  E.  Whitney,  Esq., 
attorney,  in  a  writtan  opinion,  also  addressed  to  the 
Finance  Committee,  and  accomponj'ing  herewith, 
both  concurring :  "That  to  further  opoose  the 
claims  of  one  who  has  the  indorsement  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  would  be  tmwise."  And -further: 
"  One  thing  is  sure  :  Tliis  resistance  will  be  so  long 
continued  as  that,  before  it  is  finally  .adjusted,  tho 
city  will  have  lost  in  taxes,  which  it  would  have 
otherwi8«>  collected,  and  in  money  expended  in  litiga^ 
tion.  double  or  triple  the  sum  for  which  the  whole 
matter  can  now  be  compromised,"  And  I  will  add, 
preventing  such  improvements  as  woold  increase  the 
revenues  of  the  city  largely. 

This  indorsement  of  the  bluest  tnboual  of  onr 
country,  the  "  Supreme  Court  of  the  Unitod  States. " 
stands  irrevocable  in  a  decree  as  rendered  by  Justice 
I>avis.  and  to  wtilch  your  particular  attention  is 
called,  while  the  recent  decision  of  tho  United  States 
Circuit  Court  of  Louisiana  in  my  favor,  with  which 
your  honorable  body  is  familiar,  should  be  conclu- 
sive against  further  oppo.sition  by  the  city,  which.  I 
respectfully  submit^  cjinnot  but  result  in  heavy  loss 
by  failure  to  avail  it«olf  of  the  offer  on  my  part  to 
compromise  a  valid  and  just  claim  a.<i  previoiudy  mode 
by  me  in  1868  to  tfhe  city  autiioritiefl. 

I  am  more  than  anxious  to  avoid  the  execution  of 
the  judgment  against  the  parties  defendant,  which 
the  city,  by  an  amicablo  compromise  and  aettlement 
with  me,  can  now  avoid,  and  In  thuh  consenting  will, 
in  the  language  of  the  eminent  coimsel  on  behalf  of 
the  city,  •■  protect  them  from  eviction  from  their 
homes,  built  in  firm  reliance  upon  the  good  faith 
and  protection  of  this  city."  Any  farther  informa-

A  ST,  LOUIS NEGRaS  VOCAL  POWERS. 


HIS  SUCCESS  AS  AN  IMITATOR  AND  VENTBILO- 

QtriST— A  GHASTLY  JOKE. 

J*rom  tf^  St  Lo%tu  Otobe-DemocrtUy  Atig.  19. 

A  great  many  people  in  St.  Louis  have  seen 
something  of  the  peculiar  performances  of  a  ybung 
mulatto  named  Albert  Rhodes,  who  follows  the  river 
for  a  regular  living,  bat  whose  chief  delight  is  in  ex- 
hibiting ibis  skill  as  a  whistler  and  ventriloquist  be- 
fore crowds  wherever  he  can  And  them.  There  Is  not 
a  steam-boat,  tug,  or  ferry-boat  betwe^  St.  Xioais 
and  New-Orleans  the  whistle  of  which  he  Cannot 
closely  imitate.  The  InutatioiTof  each,  in  fact,  is  so 
perfect  tliat  any  person  "^familiar  with  the 
whistie  of  a  given  boat  would  at  once  recognize  it. 
This,  however,  is  merely  one  of  hia  acosmplish- 
menttt,  as  he  seems  to  have  power  to  duplicate 
any  sound  he  ever  hears.  The  bellowing  of  a  boll, 
cackling  of  chickens,  barking  of  dogs,  roaring  of  a 
lion,  or  the  caterwatd  of  the  midnight  oat.  are  as  easy 
t4>  him  as  talking.  The  lowing  of  cattle.  noh>e  of 
moving  trains  with  pufllng  of  engines,  chirping  of 
birds,  and  the  scraping  of  a  violin,  are  almost  per- 
fectly imitated.  Several  times  the  reporter  has  seen 
him  entertain  a  crowd  with  a  lively  tune  on  an  imag- 
inary- violin  while  he  kept  time  on  a  banjo  of  equally 
Irhagipary  character.  His  imitation  of  a  terrier  catch- 
ing a  xat  and  the  subsequent  squalls  of  the  rodent  in 
its  efforts  to  get  away  is  a  marvel,  and  y.  realistic  as 
to  almost  convince  the  looker-on  that  there  is  an 
actual  rat  iu  the  case. 

The  most  remarkable  features  of  Rhodes'  voice, 
however,  are  its  ventriloquial  and  doplex  qualities. 
He  is  able  to  carry  a  tune  in  two  distuict  keys — alto 
and  temir — each  being  clearly  defined  and  apparently 
produced  by  separate  agencies.  Tliis  £eat  is  not  by 
any  memis  perfect,  but  enough  so  to  make  It  one  of  a 
wonderful  nature.  Rhodes  is  a  natural  ventriloquist, 
and  tliough  hij  is  a  rude  boy,  and  his  voice  as.yet  un- 
developed, is  able  to  throw  sounds  in  any  given  di- 
rection with  startling  effect.  What  he  calls  his 
"ccho"i£  a  genuine  triumph.  In  a  large  hall  or 
room  he  gives  a  low  hallo,  and  in  a  moment  you 
bear  the  echo  oo  tjixe  opposite  wall :  then  it  bounds  to 
the  next  wall,  and  the  next,  and  next,  and  then 
to  the  ceiling,  and  dies  away.  There  ia  really  no 
eclio  at  all,  the  sounds  being  produced  solely 
by  ventriloijuial  agency,  but  the  imitation  is  per- 
fect and  the  deception  complete.  Several  i>ei£on8 
wlio  witnessed  tins  performance  at  a  sidoon  on  Pine- 
street  a  few  days  ago  could  scarcely  be  convmced 
that  it  was  simply  the  trick  of  a  ventriloquist.  At 
the  some  place  Rhodes  imitated  the  neighing  of  a 
horse  so  perfectly  that  he  waa  isunediately  answered 
by  sympathetic  neighs  from  two  cor  horses  iu  the 
adjacent  street.  On  another  occasion  and  in  an- 
other part  of  the  city  he  threw  lus  voice  up  an  alley 
with  tho  cry  of  "  Murder  !*'  and  "Watch!"  and  in 
tliree  minutes  there  were  six  policemen  on  the  spot 
to  catch  the  supposed  assassin.  At  Vtcksbnrg  about 
•  two  months  ago  he  attended  the  funeral  of  a  colored 
person,  who  was  beinc  buried  by  a  Baptist  con- 
gregation of  that  citv.  ^ere  were  at  least  300 
persons  present,  inclu^ingthe  widow,  children,  and 
mother  of  the  deceased.  The  burial  service  was  re- 
cited, the  coffin  lowered  into  the  grave,  and  the 
boards  adjusted.  As  the  first  clod  of  earth  fell  on 
the  boards  there  came  a  low  moan  as  if  from  the 
cofiSn.  The  sounds  at  hrst  were  very  indistinct,  but 
in  a  moment  they  became  loud  and  frantic,  as  if  the 
corpse  had  come  to  life,  and  was  struggling  to  free 
iteelf  from  the  habiliments  of  the  grave,  'Hiere  was. 
of  course,  intense  excitement  among  the  crowd,  and 
the  greater  portion  of  those  present  fled  in  dismay, 
the  w^omen  and  children  shrieking  at  the  top  of 
tiieir  voices.  Iliose  remaining  h^tily  raised  the 
coflin  from  the  grave,  and  without  waiting  to  un- 
screw the  lid,  pried  it  off  with  an  axe  in  oraer  that 
the  resurrected  body  might  get  air  as  soon  as  pos- 
sible. It  was  at  once  discovered  that  it  was  not 
po&sible  that  there  could  be  a  ^lork  of  life  in  the 
•corpse.  I>ecompositlon  had  In  fact  set  in.  and  the 
■'boay.  which  had  been  encoffllned  two  days  before 
bunal,  was  rapidly  losing  all  human  shape.  Of 
course,  there  was  nothing  to  be  done  except  to  re- 
place the  lid,  lower  the  coffin,  and  fill  in  the  grave, 
which  the  crowd  hastily  did,  and  then  hastily  left. 
The  event  served  aa  a  great  sensation  funoug  the 
colored  people  of  Vickaburg.  and  old  women  snook 
their  heads  ominously  as  if  it  presaged  something 
terrible  that  was  about  to  happen.  Rhodes  was  the 
author  of  the  trick,  using  his  power  as  a  ventrilo- 
quist to  produce  the  unearthly  sounds  in  the  grave. 
The  next  day  it  leaked  out  among  the  colored  folks 
that  Rhodes  was  the  offender,  and  if  he  had  uot  dis- 
creetly left  the  city  a  few  hours  before  the  discovery 
they  would  undoubtedly  have  made  it  very  unhealthy 
for  him.  

A  KBW  FISH  DISCOVERED. 
Mr.  G.  Brown  Goode  gives,  in  the  Boston 
Advertiser,  the  following  description  of  the  new 
species  of  flounder,  which,  as  already  stated,  haa  been 
^bnnd  by  the  United  States  Fish  Commission :  "  On 
Mouday  the  dredging  party  discovered,  10  miles  off 
.Salom,  a  fish  entirely  new  to  America — the  Pole  or 
Craig  flounder,  (Olyptoe^haitut  cynogh}f»u4.)  hereto- 
foreknown  only  from  the  akrctio  coast*  of  Europe. 
This  fish  appears  to  be  a  resident  of  Maamichuaetts 
Bay,  since  both  adult'and  young  specimens  w*re  taken 
in  considerable  ntmibers.  It  does  not  take  the  hook, 
and  its  existence  hod  not  been  suspected.  The  loig- 
egt  weighed  about  four  pounds,  and  Is.  doubless,  an  ex- 
cellent table  ftsh.  Another  small  fish,  (Icdui  t^nci- 
luUiu, )  hitherto  known  only  from  Greenland,  waa 
also  tJ^en.  Daring  the  two  Sommera'  work  od  the 
southern  coast  uf  Maesachusetta,  several  new  Ashing 
grounds  were  discovered." 


A  XEWTORE  WOMAjra  TICKET  STOLEN. 
The  Chicago  Journal  of  Wednesday  evening 
says  :  "  Mrs.  Mary  Ryan,  of  New-York  (Sty,  passed

cago, Burlington  and  Qaincy  Ebulroad  a  man  whom 
Mrs.  Ryan  supposed  to  be  the  conductor  came  along 
and  took  up  her  ticket.  Subsequently  the  genuine 
conductor  asked  for  the  ticket  and  then  Mrs.  Ryan 
learned  that  she  had  been  robbed.  The  Chicago 
Police  were  notified,  and  yesterday  they  aneated 
Thomas  F.  Laven,  a  well^oiown  thug,  of  reepedabl* 
appearance,  and  found  the  ticket  on  him.  Laven 
was  before  Justice  Summerfield  this  moislng,  and 
Mr?.  Ryan  said  he  was  not  the  man  who  got  tha 
ticket ;  but  as  he  is  known  to  be  a  '  pal '  of  the  first 
party,  and  hod. the  ticket  in  his  possession,  ha  was

There  is  a  prevailing  iinpresi*ioQ  that  Aubtra 
lia  is  far  removed  from  volcanic  activity  ;  but  recent 
news  by  xnul  from  Perth,  in  Western  Ausir&lia.  if 
true,  will  modify  th^  belief.  It  is  said  that  a  Tos 
manian  capitalist  had  purchased  from  the  Govern- 
ment the  right  to  remove  the  goano  from  two  islands 
called  the  Baker  Islands,  in  latitude  \l?  south, 
longitude  152'^  east,  and  had  dispatched  three  vessel* 
for  the  guano.  On  arriving  at  the  ploce  where  the 
islands  lay  nothing  wa4  ftecn  buwa  waste  of  waters. 
The  islai^s,  with  their  inhabitants,  had  dis&ppeand. 

The  principal  fact  noted  by  the  Norwegian. 
Atlantic  Exploring  Expedition,  during  June  and  J«d:y 
of  this  year,  is  that  the  minimum  tcm;>eratara  of  tho 
water  off  the  coast  of  Norway  is  neirlier  at  the  boi- 
tom  nor  at  the  surface,  but  al  some  intermediate 
strata  of  considerable  depth.  Tlie  eiqilanation  of- 
fered is  that  in  Winter  the  cold  water  of  the  snrfacu 
descends,  on  account  of  its  inovased  weight,  until  i: 
reaches  a  stratum  where  the  superincumbent  waT?r 
cauKes  by  pressure  an  equal  density.  In  The  warm 
montiis,  the  surface  water  becoming  heated  hoK  uu 
tendency  to  sink. 

The  theory  of  Pasteur  and  Jouben  that  bac- 
teridia  are  tlie  couce  of  h-plenic  fever  seems  to  txi 
vsrififd  by  later  experim«]tj>.  In  the  tesu  made  by 
Bart,  and  othen  who  opposed  the  theor>*,  the  germ> 
in  the  diseased  blood  of  animals  affected  with  thu 
fever  had  not  been  effectually  destroy  edi  by  thti 
alcohol  and  oxygen,  and  a  miii>leading  conclusion  was 
arrived  at.  Blood  token  from  a  guiuea-plg  which 
had  been  infected,  was  comjiletely  deprived  of  its 
virulent  qaalitlee  after  having  been  exposed  to  the 
action  of  compressed  ox>'gen  for  about  a  week,  oc 
soaked  in  concentrated  alcohol. 

From  a  work  on  the  Materia  Mtdiea  of  fJio 
Hindus,  recently  published  by  Mr.  George  King,  ol 
the  Royal  Botanical  Garden*.  Calcutta,  it  appears 
that,  notwithstanding  the  present  extensive  growtU 
and  use  qf  both  tobacco  and  opium  in  India,  neither 
of  these  narcotics  were  known  there  iu  aucit-nt  times. 
Opium  was  introduced  by  the  Arabs,  and  tobaoc'i 
was  brought  thither  by  the  Portuguese  from  America 
about  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  centur}'.  The  "far 
cotmtry"  whence  the  "sweet  caue  '  was  brought  wa^; 
India,  and  our  modem  word  sagur-cnndy  Is  made  up 
of  the  two  Sanskrit  words  aarkaro  kJuznda. 

Those  who  are  recovering  from  an  acute  dis- 
ease have  a  piece  of  advice  given  them  by  Dn  Bumey 
Yeo,  which  is  frequently  and  fatally  overlooked  by 
both  patients  and  phii*Eiirian>.  Too  often,  when 
health  is  rutuming,  p<-ople  ari;  hurried  to  tht<  sea- 
side or  to  a  bracing  mountainoas  re^ou.  and  coi^ 
prise  is  manifested  when  such  a  course  is  found  tw 
bring  on  a  relapse.  Dr.  Vc-o  sets  his  face  resolutely 
against  having  recourse  to  the  stimulction  oi  e«u  or 
mountain  air  in  convalesctmce.  The  digcsrive  oipma 
ore  too  feeble  for  the  tax  thw*  imposed  upon  tht:TU. 
A  change  of  scene,  climatic  condiUoos  beizig  "na'lK; 
is,  however,  beneficial. 


Ai2B/rKAr/0.V  FOR  COAL  MiySRS. 

The  Cleveland  (Ohio)  Herald  of  Friday  says 
"  The  coal-mine  operators  of  the  Tuscarawas  Valley 
have  for  some  time  post  b^n  in  consultation  over 
tne  demands  <rf  the  miners.  At  a  recent  meeting  it 
was  determined  that  steps  be  taken  to  meet  tL,c 
miners  half  way,  and  a  committee  of  six  wns  ap- 
pointed to  meet  the  committee  of  miners.  T'nc  com- 
mittee is  composed  of  J.  P.  Burton  and  A.  HowuUe. 
Massillon  ;  E.  J.  Loomis,  Wadsworth  :  A.  A.  Br«-w.>- 
ter,  Akron.-  C.  H  Clark  and  J.  P.  Rhodes,  of  cleV4s- 
lond.  It  was  expreftscd  as  th^  opinion  of  the  meet- 
ing that  no  arbitroriou  ouglit  to  be  entered  into  when 
the  chances  a'ere  all  ou  one  side,  or  If  any  arbitra- 
tion is  to  take  place  it  will  be  made  an  arbitiation  of 
the  whole  question  of  wages,  so  that  if  a  coin}»8Ti£on 
of  books  and  figures  shows  that  55  cento,  instead  of 
60  cents,  ia  a  proper  rate,  thtsre  would  be  a  reduf. 
tion  of  wages,  but  If  facts  show  that  70  or  75  eent4 
is  just,  there  would  be  on  increoae.  The  miners  aa 
yet  have  not  answered  as  to  whether  they  \nil  entei 
into  such  an  arbitration,  where  they  mav  win  or  lose. 
The  operators  are  content  to  continue  at  CO  cent^, 
although  they  all  claim  that  ^ey  are  not  "iBking  an;' 
money.'*  

:_  SEEKING  AN  OTHER  COURT. 
Mrs.  Jane  Foster,  a  respectable  appearing 
nuddle-ag«d  woman,  who  lives  in  Forty -lixth-ctreet, 
entered  the  Fifty -seventh-Street  Court  yesterdaT, 
and  asked  Justice  Morgan  to  deal  Tiith  her  hm^bood, 
who,  she  said,  had  been  drinking  and  abuMm^  her  for 
the  post  five  years.  He  was  a  carpenter,  and  worked 
every  day,  she  said,  but  since  May  he  had  piven  her 
but  «1 9  for  the  support  of  bei%elf  and  herttre« 
children,  and  she  bod  been  turned  out  of  tbr^-« 
places  becoose  she  could  not  pav  the  rent.  Sbe  dt- 
olared  herself  in  danger  of  being  Villed  or  maimed  by 
him,  he  having  repeatedly  dragged  her  by  the  hair 
aboat  tlie  room.  The  man  positively  denied  that  he 
had  ever  abtised  his  wife,  said  that  he  was  eamii^ ^ 
but  $1  a  day.  and  that  Khe  did  not  want  to  lire 
with  himy  and  so  shut  him  out  of  tlie  bouae.  Jude> 
Morfcan  sent  the  couple  home,  telling  the  man  that  if 
he  did  not  support  his  fumiiv  he  would  go  to  th« 
Island.  This  highly  ^spleased  Mrs.  Foster,  and  she 
strode  out  of  court  ahead  of  her  husband,  declaring 
that  she  would  seek  another  court,  where  she  eouhf 
obtain  Jostioe.

Our  "Washiagton  dispatches  this  morning 
tonvey  an  intimation  that  there  is  some  dis- 
oussion  at  the  capital  regarding  the  feasi- 
bility of  dispensing  entirely  with  an  extra 
eession  of  Congress  and  of  not  calling  that 
■body  together  until  December.  We  do  not 
tknow  in  what  particulars  the  sitnation  has 
■o'nanged  since  the  last  decision  was  reached 
'J/egarding  the  time  of  assembling  Congress. 
•At  that  date  it  was  stated  that  the  exigen- 
'cies  of  the  pnblic  service  would  not  admit  of 
lany  later  postponement  than  to  the  middle 
•of  October.  It  may  be  that  the  President 
and  his  assistants  in  the  Executive  Depart- 
ments have  found  themselves  able  to  save 
)m»ney  enough  in  running  the  Government 
to  tide  them  over  another  six  weeks.  But, 
TBS  the  main  element  in  the  question,  when 
Tt  was  decided,  was  the  need  of  raising 
flioneyfor  the  Army  and  Navy,  and  as  the 
formetr  has  since  been  engaged  in  an  ex- 
pensive and  unexpected  Indian  war,  it  is 
not  easy  to  see  how  the  decision  then  ar- 
ri\-ed  at  can  be  reversed.  Doubtless,  how- 
•ever,  if  the  President  reaches  the  conoln- 
"eion  suggested,  he  will  be  abundantly  able 
to  justify  his  course. 

_  At  10:15  A.  M.  yesterday  the  price  of 
teold  in  legal  tenders  was  quoted  at  lOS^g. 
•^his  is  the  lowest  point  that  the  gold  pre-" 
,  toium  ias  touched  since  the  ■  month  of  Jtme, 
ISea,  or  over  fifteen  years.  At  the  figures 
quoted  legal  tenders  for  $100  were  worth 
In  gold  $96  35,  or,  in  other  words,  the  dis- 
ponent on  the  Government  notes  was  but 
/3. 65  per  cent.  When  we  remember  that  in 
'1S64:  the  discount  was  for  a  while  so  great 
that  $100  in  notes  were  worth  bnt  $35, 
Oiis  close  approach  to  equality  between 
P.otes  and  paper  is  striking.  It  is  also  worth 
bioticing  that  the  advance  in  the  specie  valne 
of  greenbacks  goes  on  at  an  even  pace  with 
the  preparations  for  resumption  according 
to  the  existing  provisions  of  law,  with  the 
■  accumnlation  of  gold  in  the  Treasury,  and 
with  the  subsiding  of  the  movement  in  favor 
of  the  remonetization  of  silver,  of  which 
««nrparatively  little  has  been  heard  in  some 
timo,  and  which  the  public  is  getting  to  re- 
giVd  with  very  languid  interest. 

^  The  English  rifle  team  arrived  in  the 
feteamer  City  of  Richmond  yesterday,  and 
•were  courteously  received  and  warmly  wel- 
comed by  the  representatives  of  the  Ameri- 
can marksmen.  With  very  basiness-like 
resolution  they  declined  any  ceremony  of 
reception  in  the  City,  and  decided  to  go  im- 
mediately to  their  quarters  on  Long  Island. 
We  have  no  doubt  that  they  will  make  the 
best  use  of  their  time  to  overcome  the  difl- 
culties  which  they  will  necessarily  have 
to  meet  from  a  change  of  climate 
and  the  strangeness  of  their  surroundings  at 
jtVeedmoor,  and  we  have  as  little  doubt 
that  they  will  vindicate  their  national  repu- 
tation for  cool-headedness,  pluck,  and  per- 
aeverenoe.  Their  Captain  says  that  they 
anticipate  a  close  contest  and  shall  do  their 
best  to  win.  The  spirit  in  which  they  have 
come  to  this  country  is,  we  can  assure  them, 
warmly  appreciated,  and  the  friendly  con- 
test that  they  have  accepted  wiU  be  univer- 
sally regarded  as  one  in  which  success  may 
be  grateful,  but  in  which  failure  cannot  be 
batter  or  discreditable,  to  whichever  side  it 

may  fall. 

f       — 

A  correspondent  of  the  Cincinnati  Com- 
mercial is  authority  for  statements  made  by 
Hr.  9HEKXA27  with  reference  to  his  financial 
policy,  which  show  that  the  Secretary  is  not 
likely  to  give  much  practical  aid  and  com- 
fort to  the  sUver  men.  Mr.  Sherman  is  re- 
ported to  have  said  that  it  is  likely  that 
Congress  will  authorize  the  exchange  of  the 
($1  and  $2  greenback  notes  for  silver,  but 
'>«dded :  "'Of  course  the  legal-tender  quality 
of  the  silver  should  be  limited  to  the  same 
■extent  tiiat  the  legal  tender  of  the  green-, 
^ackads  limited,  so  that  the  importers  could 
^ot "flood  OS -with  silver  in  payment  of  Coa- 
fKnos-  dntiesP'    We  have  little  patience  with 

^e  diekering>aiid  fooling  regarding  silver 
amy  fo^n  wUch  Isoorectha  tmst  that  if: 


silver  is  to  be  made  legal  tender  at  all,  it 
win,  to  the  extent  that  it  enjoys  that  quality, 
drive  out  other  coin,  so  long  as  the  latter  is 
of  greater  value.  But  if  .silver  is  only 
to  be  issued  at  par  for  greenbacks, 
and  is  not  to  be  received  for  Customs  dues, 
the  whole  transaction  will  be  in  vacuo ;  it 
will  amottnt  to  nothing  one  way  or  another. 
Xo  one  who  has  tiie  greenbacks  will  care  for 
the  silver,  and  no  one  without  the  green- 
backs can  get  it.  So  much  of  it  as  might  be 
coined  would  remain  in  the  vaults  of  the 
Treasury,  a  permament  monument  to  the 
harmless  folly  of  a  set  of  financial  t  heorists. 


On  the  other,hand,  what  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury  is  reputed  to  have  had  to  say 
on  the  payment  of  the  Customs  dues  in  gold 
is  of  essential  importance.  His  words  as 
given  are  :  "  We  must  take  care  and  keep 
our  credit  unshaken.  The  present  provision 
of  law  in  regard  to  Customs  dues  lies  at  the 
basis  of  our  system  for  discharging  our 
obligations,  and  the  people  are  not  interested 
in  having  that  disturbed."  There  has 
been  so  much  loose  talk,  and  some  of  it 
from  Bepnblicans  who  ought  to  have 
known  better,  about  the  desirability  and 
justice  of  receiving  greenbacks  in  payment 
of  Customs  dues,  that  it  is  refreshing  to  see 
attributed  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
a  clear  and  decided  rejection  of  all  this  kind 
of  nonsense.  The  Government  is  pledged 
to  pay  its  interest  in  gold  coin ;  it  is  by 
an  act  of  equal  authority,  and  forming  a 
part  of  this  same  pledge,  bound  to  re- 
quire the  payment  of  its  Customs  dues  in 
gold  coin  and  to  set  apart  this  coin  for  the 
payment  of  interest  and  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  sinking  fund.  Any  tinkering  with, 
that  provision  of  law,  until  the  ^eenbacks 
are  redeemable  at  par  in  gold,  is  simply  of 
the  nature  of  repudiation,  and  must  be, 
therefore,  either  extremely  dishonorable  or 
the  fruit  of  great  ignorance.  Mr.'  Sher- 
man's statement  of  the  case  goes  to  the  gist 
of  the  principle  and  the  fact  involved  in  it. 


The  leaders  of  the  Mississippi  Democrats 
do  not  feel  entirely  easy  in  their  minds,  and 
their  concern  has  been  publicly  and  offi- 
cially expressed.  The  Stat«  Committee  has 
issued  an  appealing  circular,*  exhorting  the 
the  party  to  remember  that  "  the  first  duty 
is  to  support  the  regular  nominations,"  and 
that  the  "  refoi-ms"  which  have  been 
begun  "  can  be  perfected  and  carried 
out  only  by  a  rigid  adherence  to 
the  discipline  and  observance  of  tho 
methods  by  which  the  victories  of  1875  and 
1876  were  won.  The  trouble  is  that  the 
Mississippi  Democrat,  now  that  he  has 
"  waxed  fat,"  politically  by  his  peculiar 
"plan,"  is  inclined,  like  Jeshuron  of  old, 
to  "kick,"  and  his  managers  feel  that  if 
there  is  a  division  in  their  own  ranks  the 
"plan"  will  cease  to  work  instantly. 
In  the  words  of  the  negro  Sen- 
ator who  first  proposed  abstention  as 
a  definite  policy  for  Republicans  in; that 
State,  "When  the  fight  is  between  Demo- 
crats we  shall  not  be  bull-dozed  but  courted. " 
It  is  the  fear  of  this  that  explains  the 
official  appeal  to  stick  to  the  "  methods  of 
1875  and  1876."  But  the  appeal  puts  the 
effect  before  the  cause.  The  methods  re- 
ferred to  were  resorted  to  to  get  possession 
of  the  spoils  for  the  party  ;  the  quarrel 
now  is,  who,  in  the  party,  shall  enjoy  the 
spoils,  and  that  quarrel  cannot  be  settled  by 
the  tise  of  the  shot-gtm  in  negro  cabins. 


CITY    TAX-PAYERS  AND    THE   FALL 
CAMPAIGN. 

On  an  honest  registration  and  an  honest 
count,  the  cities  of  New-York  and  Brooklyn 
cast  one-fourth  of  the  total  vote  of  the 
State.  They  are  represented  in  the  State 
Senate  by  seven  members  instead  of  the 
eight,  and  in  the  Assembly  by  thirty  instead 
of  the  thirty-two  members  to  which  on  this 
basis  they  would  be  entitled.  Does  any  man 
in  his  senses  suppose  that  the  want  of  three 
representatives  in  the  Legislature  is 
a  BuMoient  reason  for  the  assump- 
tion set  np  by  Gov.  Bobinson, 
and  re-echoed  by  the  Democratic  press,  that 
these  cities  must  be  compelled  to  wait  for 
the  tardy  justice  of  a  correct  apportion- 
ment before  the  claims  of  their  tax-pay- 
ers for  reUef  from  a  steadily  increasing 
load  of  debt  and  taxation  can  be  heeded  f 
Both  cities  are  denied  adequate  represen- 
tation when  they  are  cut  off  from  the 
possibility  of  profiting  by  any  laws 
providing  for  retrenchment  and  reform 
which  the  State  Legislature,  as  now 
constituted,  can  give  them.  And  that  is 
precisely  the  effect  of  the  rule  which  Gov. 
EoBDisoN,  and  his  prompters  among  the 
Ring  Democrats  of  both  cities  have  laid 
down.  "  I  will  approve  of  no  law  relating 
to  the  affairs  of  New- York  or  Brooklyn  of 
which  the  majority  of  the  delegation  from 
either  city  has  not  already  approved."  That 
is  the  purport  of  the  veto  messages  of  Gov. 
BoBiNSOJJ  which  have  already  cost 
these  cities  many  thousands  of  wasted 
money  and  will  cost  them  many 
thousands  more.  The  grievance  of 
an  inadequate  apportionment  is  a  trifling 
one  compared  with  the  wrong  inflicted  by 
the  monstrous  doctrine  that'  the  local  gov- 
ernment of  cities  is  not  an  integral  part  of 
the  State  Govemjent — a  delegation  of  its 
sovereign  power  to  be  controlled  by  legisla- 
tion as  it  was  conferred  by  legislation, 
and  in  which  frands  or  irregularities  are  by 
the  statute  law  liable  to  be  corrected  by  the 
judicial  officers  of  the  State. 

The  logical  inference  from  the  position  of 
the  Governor  and  his  Ring  allies  is  that 
New- York  and  Kings  ought  to  constitute  a 
State  by  themselves,  or  that  they  are  au- 
tonomous municipalities  of  the  mediceval 
type,  with  which  the  sovereign  power  must 
not  meddle.  The  first  position  has  never 
been  seriously  maintained,  and  the  second 
has  been  contemptuously  disposed 
of  in  numerous  arguments  by  such 
excellent  Democratic  authorities  as  Messrs. 
Samuel  J.  Tilden  and  Charles  O'Conor. 
Bnt  the  insincerity  of  the  Democratic  twad- 
dle about  "  local  .\lf-govemment"  has  been 
demonstrated  by  mhch  more  familiar  meth- 
ods than  these.  The  two  great  measures  for 
the  relief  of  New- York  tax-payers  which 
Gov.  EoBKSON  vetoed  last  Spring  were  the 
"  omnibus"  charter  and  the  Finanoial  bill. 
The  first  was  a  measure  for  the  abolition  of 
unnecessary  offices,  the  consolidation  of  de- 
partments, the  reduction  of  official  sal- 
aries, and  Spring  elections  for  City 
officers.  It  was  the  joint  work  of  Democrats 
and  Bepnblicans — mainly  of  Democrats.  It 
was  vetoed  on  the  grounds  that  the  City  was 
not  represented  according  to  its  population, 
and  that  it  failed  to  r8o«iTe-,thA  umrovaa  of 


^^'Sm^mx  f:iflgi;^^li^^i^ 


the  maj(Bitf  at  thote  who  were  assumed  to 
represent  the  people  of  New-York.  The^ 
second  was  a  very  carefully  drawn  enact- 
ment, which,  with  the  exception  of  one 
solitary  clause,  had  been  approved 
by  Controller  Kellt,  indorsed  in  every 
essential  line  by  the  Corporation 
Counsel,  and  adopted  as  a  whole  by  Mayor 
Ely.  It  conferred  the  most  sweeping 
powers  in  regardi  to  the  regulation  of  City 
finances  on  the  Board  of  Apportionment, 
and  that  principle  met  with  the  ap- 
proval of  the  judicious  Kellt.  It  was  only 
when  the  Legislature  incorporated  with  it 
the  Mayor's  recommendation  of  allowing 
representatives  of  the  tax-payers  to  be 
'placed  on  the  Board  of  Apportionment, 
thereby  increasing  its  value  as  a  measure  of 
"  local  self-government,"  that  the  order  went 
forth  to  oppose  the  bill  in  both  houses 
and  veto  it  in  the  Executive  chamber. 
While  Kelly  and  Pubrot  were  allowed  to 
virtually  control  the  Board  of  Apportion- 
ment, the  bill  was  unexceptionable.  When 
there  was  a  prospect  of  placing  four  men  of 
character  and  standing  on  the  board,  Kellt 
discovered  that  the  continuance  of  his 
power  might  be  endangered.  The  Gtovemor 
did  not  venture  to  assign  reasons  for 
his  veto  of  the  bill,  did  not  even 
make  the  sweeping  assertion  hazarded 
in  regard  to  Mr.  Bradley's  bill  for  the  re- 
duction of  heads  of  departments  in  Brook- 
lyn that  it  was  "  unconstitutional  in  every 
Une." 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  recall  the  veto 
of  the  bill  reducing  to  a  fixed  annual  remun- 
eration the  extravagant  fees  pocketed  by 
Kelly's  friend  Coroner  Cbokf.r  and  his  as- 
sociates, or  of  the  other  bill  reducing 
to  $6,000  the  $15,000  of  yearly 
salary  paid  to  the  Commissioner  of 
Jurors  for  attending  mainly  to  the  business 
of  Tammany  Hall,  to  show  how  palpable 
was  the  swindle  inflicted  on  City  tax-payers 
under  the  specious  pretense  of  devotion  to 
the  principle  of  "local  self-government." 
The  point  to  be  chiefly  remember^  is  that 
a  triumph  of  the  Democracy  at  the  coming 
State  election  would  mean  a  triumph  of 
the  Ring  Democracy  of  New- York 
and  Brooklyn ;  that  the  election  of  a 
Democratic  Legislature  would  not  only 
defeat  the  constitutional  amendments  for 
the  better  government  of  cities,  but  would 
also  defer  all  prospect  of  relief  from  the 
burdens  which  now  oppress  the  two  chief 
cities  of  the  State.  The  constitutional 
amendments  were  the  work  of  a  commis- 
sion appointed  by  Gov.  Tiloen,  and  com- 
posed as  follows:  Willia.m  M.  Evarts, 
E.  L.  GoDKiN,  John  A.  Lott,  Simon 
Sterne,  James  C.  Carter,  Oswald 
Ottendorfer,  William  Allen  But- 
ler, and  Joshua  M.  Van  Cott. 
The  partisan  Republican  element  can  hardly 
be  said  to  be  represented  here,  and  we 
imagine  that  the  majority  of  the  commis- 
sion voted  for  Tilden  last  Fall.  But  the 
King  Democracy  has  opposed  at  every  step 
the  adoption  of  the  recommendations  of 
that  body,  and  the  necessity  of  defeating 
the  proposed  amendments  is  regarded  as  a 
question  of  life  and  death  by  Tammany  Hall. 

The  issues  to  be  decided  in  November  re- 
late exclusively  to  local  and  State  govern- 
ment, and  we  have  sufficiently  outlined 
their  general  character.  That  the  municipal' 
contest  in  these  two  cities  will  be  between 
the  intelligent,  honest,  and  tax-paying  ele- 
ment and  the  ignorant,  the  vicious, 
and  tax-eating  portion,  may  be  ac- 
cepted as  a  settled  fact.  That  the 
Ring  Democracy  in  both  cities  must  go 
down  before  any  united  and  well-directed 
attack  of  its  opponents  does  not  admit  of 
any  doubt.  That  the  interests  of  the  Repub- 
lican Party  and  of  the  people  at  large  are 
absolutely  identical  in  such  a  fight  is  clear 
enough  to  warrant  the  most  hopeful  antici- 
pations in  regard  to  its  effect  on  the  Demo- 
cratic control  of  the  State. 


PLATING   WITS  POLITICS. 

No  sooner  does  the  labor  question,  as  it  is 
called,  get  into  politics  than  confusion  man- 
ifests itself.  Material  issues,  as  the  Louis- 
ville Courier-Journal  calls  them,  are  well 
enough  as  side  issues  in  politics,  but  they 
are  not  valuable  in  .working  or  organizing 
parties.  The  convention  of  working  men 
at  Baltimore  the  other  day  furnished  a  good 
illnstration  of  the  difficulty  of  finding  an 
issue  sharp  enough  to  constitute  "  a  good 
cry"  to  go  to  the  country  on,  and  broad 
enough  to  secure  the  support  of  all  men 
who  earn  a  living  by  manual  labor.  Pre- 
cisely what  the  working  men  want  was 
not  shown  by  their  speeches,  or  by 
any  resolutions  or  platform.  In  the  first 
place,  many  of  the  men,  possibly  most  of 
them,  were  in  favor  of  a  seizure  of  the  rail- 
roads, telegraphs,  and  all  means  of  trans- 
portation by  the  Government.  It  was  urged, 
as  it  has  so  often  been  urged,  that  the 
Government  ought  to  control  vast  proper- 
ties for  the  benefit  of  the  general  public.  It 
is  thought  that  the  profits  of  these  concerns 
should  go  to  enrich  the  whole  people,  not  a 
few  corporations.  It  is  suggested  that  the 
Government,  having  secured  possession 
of  the  property  of  the  corporations, 
would  be  able  to  pay  better  wages 
than  are  now  paid ;  and  that, 
instead  of  paying  dividends  on  stocks, 
should,  besides  paying  high  wages 
to  its  employes,  be  able  to  do  the  work  at 
a  less  rate  than  is  now  paid  by  people  who 
travel  and  use  the  telegraph.  If  the  Gov- 
ernment owned  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
for  example,  it  is  believed  that  the  way- 
farer would  pay  $1  to  go  to  Philadelphia,  in- 
stead of  $2  50,as  now,  and  that  the  greater 
part  of  the  $150  saved  on  his  fare  would 
in  some  way  get  into  the  pockets  of  the  con- 
ductors, engineers,  firemen,  brakemen,  and 
others  employed  in  taking  him  there.  A 
paternal  Government,  instead  of  pocketing 
a  profit,  would  carry  the  dear  people  at 
cost  prices. 

It  is  not  necessary  here  to  go  into  what 
seems  the  absurdity  of  this  proposition.  It 
has  not  yet  come  before  the  people  for  their 
serious  consideration.  But  it  was  brought 
up  in  the  Baltimore  Convention,  and,  strange 
as  it  may  appear,  &ere  were  working  men 
who  opposed  it  as,  impracticable.  To  be 
sure,  the  confiscation  plank  of  the  platform 
was  adopted,  but  there  was  enough  op- 
position to  it  in  the  convention  to  reopen 
discussion  and  very  nearly  reconsider  the 
action  of  the  body.  So  far  as  the  Balti- 
more Convention  signifies  anything, 
it  has  proclaimed  an  intention  to 
compel  the  Government  to  secure  possession 
of  railroads,  tjelegraphs,  canals,  and  steam- 
boats, and  operate  them  as  it  now  manages 
the  mail   se^o«.  at  the  conntrr.    Bat  it. 


should  be  said  that  there  was,  in  this  in- 
stance, enough  intelligence  manifested  to 
make  certain  a  permanent  division  on  that 
vital  question. 

The  inevitable  "color  line"  also  shows 
itself  in  the  budding  organization,  just  as  it 
is  sure  to  wherever  there  are  enough  colored 
working  men  to  make  a  respectable  demand 
for  recognition.  It  is  quite  charac- 
teristic of  the  men  who  revolt 
against  "the  tyranny  of  capital,"  that 
they  should  begin  by  proscribing 
men  of  their  own  guilds  who  belong 
to  what  is  called  an  inferior  race.  All  la- 
bor, they  sonorously  declare,  is  honorable. 
But  the  labor  of  a  black  man  is  not  honora- 
ble. The  suggestion  that  the  black  man  has 
a  vote  makes  the  more  thoughtful  agitator 
pause  and  consider.  But,  at  last  accounts,  the 
working  men  of  Baltimore  were  willing  to 
thi-pw  away  the  opportunity  of  gaini^jg  the 
votes  of  ten  thousand  workers  who  happen 
to  be  black  as  to  skin  and  crooked  as  to 
tibia.  If  this  is  not  tyranny  on  a  small 
scale,  we  should  like  to  know  what  it  is. 
Yet  the  attempt  to  organize  a  national 
party  on  purely  "  material  issues"  is  sm-e  to 
meet  with  just  such  obstacles  at  the  outset. 
It  would  be  impossible  for  any  party  of  moral 
or  soimd  political  ideas  to  be  so  incumbered. 
The  Democratic  Party,  professing  devotion 
to  the  Virginia  and  Kentucky  resolutions  of 
'98,  could  not  and  would  not  refuse  to  fold 
the  colored  man  and  brother  in  its  arms. 
But  an  organization  which  bases  its  exist- 
ence on  a  question  of  day  wages  must  needs 
begin  by  drawing  the  Une  at  colored  men. 
The;  negro  cannot  be  consistently  admitted 
to  the  Utopia  in  which  the  Government  is 
to  give  its  railroad  gains  to  the  working 
men. 

It  is  bad  enough  for  parties  that  the 
question  of  the  distribution  of  offices 
should  create  discord  among  their  members. 
But  a  party  whiehis  organized  on  purely  ma- 
terial issues  has  ti'ouble  ou  hand  fi-om  tho 
first.  This  is  apparent  in  the  confusion 
which  already  appears  in  the  party  which 
Mr.  Samtel  J.  R.\NDA1X  is  forming  to 
elect  liimself  Speaker.  It  was  given  out 
that  Mr.  Randall  was  in  favor  of  subsidies 
on  general  principles.  This  took  in  the 
Texas  Pacific  Railroad  job,  the  Mississippi 
levee  scheme,  the  project  of  creating  artiti- 
cial  harbors  on  the  Gulf  coast,  and  sundry 
other  things.  But  it  happens  that  a  great  many 
people  who  favor  the  levee  subsidy  do  not 
believe  in  the  railroad  job,  and  vice  versa. 
There  is  a  jarring  at  once.  There  is  an 
agreement  on  the  fimdamental  principle, 
but  irreconcilable  disagreement  as  to  de- 
tails. The  working  man  must  be  legislated 
for,  but  the  black  working  man  must 
be  left  out  in  the  cold.  The  rail- 
roads must  be  managed  in  tho  inter- 
est of  railroad  employes,  but  it  is  ilis- 
puted  whether  the  Government  shall  do 
this  or  compel  the  corporations  to 
do  it.  Jealousy  is  bound  to  appear 
early  in  all  discussions  iu  which 
the  main  issue  is  a  material  one. 
Even  the  machinery  of  trades-unions,  in 
times  when  its  usefulness  is  tested,  shows 
signs  of  friction.  During  the  late  strike  it 
was  found  that  men  who  had  been  "  ordered 
out"  on  the  distinct  promise  of  certain 
wages  during  their  enforced  idleness  failed 
to  receive  their  stipend.  Favored  officials 
and  "head  centres"  divided  the  funds  among 
them,  and  left  the  rank  and  file  of  the  con- 
tributors to  grumble  and  make  the  best  of 
it.  Conceive  of  a  party  organized  ou  a 
similar  basis — a  sort  of  political  trade-union. 
The  sharp  politicians  would  soon  be  on  the 
ground  gathering  up  the  fragments  of  the 
wreck. 


THE  ATTACK  ON  THE  BALKAN  PASSES. 

The  most  important  news  of  the  past 
week,  or,  indeed,  of  the  past  month,  is  that 
Suleiman  Pasha  is  still  south  of  the  Balkan, 
and  as  yet  imsuccessfal  in  his  attempts  to 
force  his  way  across  it.  This  is  an  ominous 
fact  for  the  Turks.  The  reported  junction 
with  Mehemet  Ali,  the  taking  of  the  Schip- 
ka  Pass  in  the  rear,  the  overlapping  of  the 
Russian  left  by  90,000  men,  the  contem- 
plated breach  of  the  Russian  line  by  a  simul- 
taneotis  attack  from  Selvi  on  the  west  and 
Osman-Bazar  on  the  east,  all  vanish  at 
once  ;  and  there  remains  the  momentous 
fact  that  the  three  Turkish  armies  are  still 
widely  separated,  that  the  Sehipka  Pass  is 
still  held  by  the  Russians  after  two  days' 
fighting,  that  Meheuet  Ali's  "  -N-ietory  "  at 
Eski-Djuma  is  virtually  a  drawn  battle,  and 
that  the  various  sanguinary  conflicts  which 
have  taken  place  since  Monday  last  have 
told  against  rather  than  in  favor  of  the 
Turkish  arms. 

The  double  repulse  of  Suleiuas"  Pasha's 
vigorous  attacks  upon  the  Sehipka  and 
Hainkoi  passes  is  easily  accounted  for. 
The  narrow,  tortuoas  path  which  led  Gen. 
GoiTRKHO  through  the  latter  is  eminently 
fitted  for  the  display  of  that  stubborn 
tenapity  which  is  the  Russian  soldiers  lead- 
ing characteristic  ;  and  the  bloody  re- 
pulse of  the  assailants,  after  actually 
forcing  their  way  into  the  defile,  fuUy 
bears  out  the  terse  comment  of  an  eye- 
witness, that  "it  is  easier  to  get  in  than 
to  get  out  again."  The  defenses  of  the 
Sehipka  Pass  are  more  formidable  still.  No 
one  who  has  traversed  it  can  have  faUed  to 
be  struck  with  the  almost  preeipiee-Uke 
steepness  of  the  descent  from  the  summit  of 
the  ridge  to  Sehipka  itself ;  and  it  is  easy  to 
imagine  the  carnage  ^vrought  by  a  well-di- 
rected fire  from  the  heights  upon  an  attack- 
ing column  struggling  painfully  up  a  precip- 
itous ascent,  vrith  a  i-ise  of  3,000  feet  in 
less  than  four  miles  ! 

Nor  is  the  issue  involved  in  this  desperate 
undertaking  merely  that  of  an  ordinary  bat? 
tie.  The  very  fact  of  such  a  sacrifice  of  life 
being  deemed  necessary  by  one  of  the  Sal- 
tan's ablest  Generals,  sufficiently  shows 
how  precarious  must  be  the  position  of 
OsMAN  Pasha,  on  whose  behalf  it  was  made. 
Indeed,  should  Si'LlEMiiS  faU  in  his  attempt 
to  force  the  passage  of  the  Balkan,  the  Rus- 
sians must  be  unskillful  indeed  if  they 
cannot  strike  at  least  one  great  blow 
at  the  Turkish  Army  of  Bulgaria  before 
the  OEimpaign  closes.  They  are  now  in  Na- 
poleon's favorite  position,  viz.,  interposed 
between  two  hostile  armies ;  and  they  have 
an  excellent  chance  of  executing  his  favor- 
ite manoeuvre  of  "striking  with  one  hand 
while  parrying  with  the  other."  Forty  or  fif- 
ty thousand  men,  strongly  intrenched,  would 
suffice  to  cover  Timova  and  keep  Mehemet 
Aiil  in  check,  while  Osman  Pasha  was  being 
overwhelmed  at  Plevna  or  Lovatz  by 
150,000  more.  That  the  Turks  them- 
selves fear  some  such  attempt  is 
amply   proved  by     the    iU-jodjted     haste 


with  which  they  have  recently  assailed 
the  finssian  positions  at  Selvi  and  along 
the  Yantra,  with  the  appajrent  object  of  in- 
flicting a  disabling  blow  before  the  arrival 
of  the  vast  reinforcements  which  are  daily 
pouring  into  Roumania*.  But  hitherto  this 
attempt  hasjutterly  failed.  Russian  and 
Turk  have  suddenly  exchanged  parts,  and  it 
is  now  the  latter  who  is  breaJdng  his 
strength  upon  fortified  positions  and  the 
former  who  is  successfully  defending  them. 
In  the  meantime,  various  minor  influences 
are  at  work  on  the  side  of  Russia.  Seivia 
has  completed  the  mobilization  of  her 
Army,  and  placed  it  under  the  command 
of  Gen.  HoEVATOVlTCH,  the  hero  of  the  war 
of  1876.  Severe  fighting  has  taken  place  in 
Bosnia,  in  which  the  Turks  have  .by  no, 
means  come  off  seathless.  In  Montenegro 
the  ever-active  moimtaineers  are  astir  once 
more,  harassing  the  invading  columns  at 
every  step.  The  insurrections  in  Crete  and 
Thessaly,  though  denied  for  obvious  reasons 
by  the  Greek  Cabinet,  are  making  ^Tsible 
progress,  and  the  whole  district  of  La- 
rissa  has  already  been  declared  in  a  state  of 
siege.  Kustendje  has  been  reoccupied  and 
fortified  by  tho  Ai-my  of  the  Dobrudseha. 
Germany  has  remonstrated  with  the  Porte, 
in  very  decided  language,  upon  the  alleged 
atrocities  of  the  Turkish  irregulars,  and  her 
example  has  been  followed  by  Austria  and 
Italy.  FinaUy.  the  active  co-operation 
of  Roumania,  although  not  yet  officially  an- 
nounced, has  already  become  a  certainty. 
The  persistent  attacks  of  Scleima:; 
Pasha  upon  the  two  western  passes 
wotild  seem  to  imply  that  the  Tvar- 
ditza  defile,  which  comes  next  in 
order  after  the  Hainkoi,  has  likewise  been 
occupied  by  the  Russians,  though  no  men- 
tion has  yet  been  made  of  the  fact.  This 
route,  leading  through  the  Tvardjtehka- 
Ptenina  to  Helena,  is  manifestly 
Ids  easiest  way  of  joining  Mehemet 
Ali  ;  while,  if  his  object  be  to 
reach  Osmax  Pasha,  the  Sehipka  Pass  is 
undoubtedly  the  most  direct  route,  but  at 
the  same-  timtj  the  most  inaccessible.  The 
task  which  seems  to  be  already  beyond  his 
strength  TOli  soon  become  altogether  im- 
possible. Hitherto  the  pass  has  been  held 
by  only  twenty  companies,  drawn  partly  from 
the  Eleventh  Division  and  partly  from  the 
Bulgarian  Legion;  but  the  Russian  brigade 
which  passed  through  Gabrova  last  Wednes- 
day has  proba  blr  joined  them  by  this  time , and 
another  brigade  of  the  Second  Division  left 
Timova,  three  days  ago,  with  the  same  ob- 
ject. Thus  strengthened,  the  defenders  of 
the  pass  might  be  trusted  to  hold  their 
ground  against  anything  short  of  actual 
starvation,  a  method  of  attack  which  the 
assailants  will  hardly  have  time  to  employ. 


THE  ASTEROIDS. 

Hearing  constantly  of  planets  by  the 
hundred,  of  suns  by  the  million,  comets  in- 
utunerable,  and  "  star  dust''  illimitable,  we 
find  it  very  hard  to  realize  the  condition  of 
the  human  mind  in  which  new  astronomical 
discoveries  were  resisted  and  attempts  to 
disturb  the  consecrated  finality  of  the  seven 
heavenly  bodies  resented  as  impious  and 
absurd.  And  yet  it  wants  some  years  of 
being  three  centuries  since  Sizzi,  in  reply 
to  Galileo,  could  say,  with  the  applause  of 
learned   Etirope: 

"  There  are  seven  windows  given  to  animals  in  the 
domicile  of  the  bead,  through  which  the  air  is  ad- 
mitted  to  the  tabernacle  of  the  body  to  enlighten,  to- 
werm.  and  to  noorish  it,  which  windows  are  the  prin- 
cipal parts  of  the  microcosm  or  little  world — two  nos- 
trils, two  eyes,  two  ear?,  and  one  mouth.  So  in  the 
heavens,  as  In  a  microcosm  or  great  world,  there  are 
two  favorable  stars.  Jupiter  and  Venus  ;  two  unpro- 
pitious.  Mars  and  Saturn  ;  two  luminariea,  the  Sun 
and  Moon,  and  Mercury  alouo  undecided  and  indiffer- 
ent. From  these,  and  from  many  other  phenomena 
of  nature,  we  gather  that  the  number  of  planets  is 
necessarily  seven.  Moreover,  the  satellites  are  invis- 
ible to  the  naked  eye.  and  therefore  can  exercise  no 
inlluence  over  the  earth,  and  therefore  would  be  use- 
less, and  therefore  do  not  esust.  Besides,  the  Jews 
and  other  anolent  nations,  as  well  as  modem  Euro- 
peans, have  adopted  the  division  of  the  week  into 
seven  days,  aud  have  named  them  from  the  seven 
planets.  Xow.  if  we  Increase  the  number,  of  planets 
this  whole  system  falls  to  the  ground. " 

But  the  ancient  astronomy  broke  down. 
New  bodies  were  constantly  added  to  those 
known  from  the  earliest  times.  From 
Galileo's  time  up  to  the  present  there  has 
been  no  permanent  cessation  in  planet- 
finding,  though  it  must  be  acknowledged 
that  tho  results  achieved  withjn  the  last 
century  have  surpassed  tho  united  results 
of  all  preceding  ages.  Since  17S1,  when 
Sir  W.  Herschel  '  discovered  Uranus,  two 
major  planetX,  nine  satellites,  and  nearly 
one  hundred  and  eighty  minor  planets  have 
been  discovered.  There  is  a  singular  con- 
nection between  the  distances  of  the  plan- 
ets from  the  sun,  which  was  first  noticed 
by  Keplek,  and  revived  one  hundred  years 
ago  by  TiTirs,  but  which  is  now  universal- 
ly known  as  "Bodes' law."  If  we  set  down 
a  row  of  foiu^s,  equal  to  the  whole  number 
of  planets,  and  below  them  (beginning  with 
the  second)  a  row  of  numbers  commencing 
with  three  and  doubling  as  we  proceed,  the 
sum  of  the  two  lines,  when  taken  separate- 
ly, represents  approximately  the  mean  dis- 
tances of  the  planets  from  the  sun. ,  Thus  :

Kepler  had  noticed  that  the  fifth  term 
(2S)  in  this  series  was  missing,  and 
he  conjectured  tha^  a  planet  existed 
between  Mars  and  Jupiter.  This  con- 
jecture he  seems  to  have  abandoned; 
but  the  discovery  of  Cranus  gave  such  an 
apparent  confirmation  of  the  reality  of  this 
law,  and  the  consequent  existence  of  a 
planet  in  the  vacant  space,  that.  Baron  Zach 
formed  an  association  of  twenty-four  as- 
tronomers to  search  for  it.  The  associa- 
tion was  doomed  to  disappointment  for  a 
long  time,  as  it  was  not  untU  Jan.  1,  1801. 
that  the  first  frajnient  of  the  missing  planet 
n-as  discovered  ;  and  this  discovery  was  not  | 
made  by  one  of  its  members,  but  by  Piazzi, 
the  famous  Sicilian  astronomer.  Olbess,  in 
seeking  to  find  Ceres,  discovered  (March 
28,  1S02,)  Pallas,  the  second  of  the  minor 
planets,  and  the  work  of  discovery  has  gone 
on  from  that  day  to  the  present.  In  1S04 
Juno  wasfound,  and  in  1307  VMta.  It  was 
not  tmtil  1845  that  a  fifth  was  miei  to  the 
Hst.  None  was  discovered  in  1846,  but 
fi'om  1 847  on  there  has  been  no  year  in 
which  one  or  more  of  these  little  strangers 
has  not  been  found.  Our  distinguished  as- 
tronomer, Prot  C.  A.  Yotrse,  in  a  paper  re- 
cently published,  has  collected  some  carious 
statistics  on  this  subject.  One  h-ondred  and 
seventy-two  asteroids  are  now  known.  The 
discoverers  are  thii-ty-one  in  number.  Four- 
teen of  them  discovered  one  each,  while  ten 
have  discovered  five  andoTaraaah.  FeT£Bs.  , 


of  Clinton,  in  this  State,  heads  the  list  'with 
26  ;  Lt;THEE,  of  DOsscldorf,  has  20  ;  'Wat- 
sos,  of  Ann  Arbor,  Mich.,  has  19;  and 
GtJLDSCHitlDT,  of  Paris,  has  14.  Discovery 
is  thus  apportioned  among  the  nation- 
alities :  52  were  discovered  in  France, 
51  in  America,  39  in  Germany,  19  in  Eng- 
land and  its  dependencies,  and  11  in  Italy. 
1875  was  the  banner  year,  J.7  asteroids 
having  been  fotmd  init ;  in  1868, 12  were 
found ;  in  1872, 11,  and  1861  and  1876 
are  credited  with  10  each.  The  annual 
crop  of  new  asteroids  will,  it  is  thou^t 
greatly  diminish,  because  the  Berlin 
Astronomical  Year  Book,'  which  formerly 
gave  the  ephemerides  of  'sail  planets 
which  come  to  opposition  during  the 
year,  has  determined  to  omit  the  places 
of  ,the  greater  number  of  the  asteroids  as 
being  of  very  slight  importance  to  general 
astronomy.  This  means  that  the  observer, 
in  order  to  be  sure  that  he  has  actually 
caught  a  new  planet,  will  have  to  go 
through  a  laborious  calculation.  The 
largest  of  these  bodies  is  about  three  hun- 
dred miles  in  diameter,  and  the  smallest 
about  fifteen,  and,  according  to  Le  Ver- 
rier's  computation,  the  mass  of  the  whole 
belt  is  onl}'  about  one-third  that  of  our 
globe.  Flora  is  nearest  to  the  sun — a  little 
over  two  hundred  millions  of  miles — and  its 
periodic  time  is  three  and  a  quarter  years, 
while  Hilda,  the  most  distant,  (three  hun- 
dred and  sixty  millions  of  miles,)  has  a 
period  of  nearly  eight  veai-s. 

And  now  what  have  the  asteroids  taught 
us?  'Very  little.  Whatever  confirmation 
their  discovery  gave  to  ■'Bodes'  law"  has 
been  more  than  neutralized  by  that  of  Nep- 
tune, where  it  completely  fails.  Olbes's 
famous  h\-pothesis  that  they  were  the  re- 
mains of  an  exploded  planet  ought  lon.g  ago 
have  been  consigned  to  the  lumber-room 
as  being  totally  opposed  to  everything  that 
we  have  learned  about  the  solar  system.  If 
explosions  can  take  place  in  this  way  what 
becomes  of  the  much-vaunted  stability  of 
our  system  !  It  has  been  proposed  to  regard 
the  asteroids,  not  as  the  fragments  of  an  ex- 
ploded planet,  but  as  the  parts  into  which 
the  nebulous  ring,  which,  in  accordance 
with  the  nebular  h\'pothtsis,  circulated  dur- 
ing the  condensation  of  the  system  between 
Mars  and  Jupiter,  became  disrupteJ.  mainly 
by  the  attraction  of  the  huge  mass  of  the 
latter  body.  This  suggestion  unfortunately 
admits  of  no  verification  and  does  not  point 
to  any  connection  with  any  other  astronom- 
ical- phenomena.  It  has  been  demon- 
strated that  comets  are  made  up  of  ioi- 
mense  numbers  of  shooting  stars.  Is  thera 
any  connection  between  comets  ai^d  the 
asteroids  f  The  periodic  time  of  some  of 
the  comets  is  very  similar  to  that  of  some  of 
the  asteroids.  The  orbits  of  many  of  the 
asteroids  are  ineUned  to  the  ecliptic  very 
much  like  comets,  and  they  all  depart  from 
the  planet  type  in  this  fun  lamental  charac- 
teristic. If  it  should  turn  out  that  the 
comets  are  asteroids  "  in  the  making,"  and 
if,  more  especially,  any  comet  could  be  traced 
to  this  belt,  then  indeel  will  the  finding  of 
the  asteroids  not  have  been  wasted  labor,  for 
it  will  have  put  us  on  the  rig'al  path  of  ex- 
plaining the  formation  of  our  solar  system. 
There  is  every  reason  for  be"iiev»ng  that  the 
asteroids  are  the  materials  out  .of  which  a 
great  globe  will  some  day  be  formed.  If  it 
could  be  shown  that  comets  were  the  frail 
original  of  these  bodies,  and  that  these 
nomads  of  the  sky  can  actually  settle  down 
into  a  place  provided  for  them,  the  day  of 
■'universal  death,"  according  to  Sir  W. 
Thomsox's  doctrine  of  "  the  dissipation  of 
energy,"  would  be  indefinitely  postponed,  as 
our  system  would  have  in  itself  a  principle 
of  growth  as  well  as  one  of  decay. 


CONJUGAL  UNFITNESS. 

It  is  generally  supposed  that  every  man 
and  every  woman  of  sound  mind  and  sotmd 
body  is  fitted  for  marriage.  They  certainly 
ought  to  be,  and  it  may  be  hard  to  see  why 
they  are.  not,  but  very  little  observation 
makes  the  fact  that  they  are  not  obvious 
enough?  As  a  rule  everybody  marries,  but 
it  can  hardly  be  said  that  as  a  rule  every 
marriage  is  happy,  or  anvthing  like  it.  The 
disagreements  of  most  couples  arise  doubt- 
less from  their  want  of  adaptability  to  one 
another.  If  either  or  both  had  made  a  dif- 
ferent selection,  they  might  have  got  on 
quite  comfortably. 

But  there  are  persons,  men  partieularlv, 
who  seem  constitutionally  disqualified  for 
matrimony  or  partnership  of  any  kind  :  and 
one  of  their  unalterable  convictions  is  likely 
to  be  that  nature  designed  them  fof  wedlock 
and  sociability  generally.  Their  experience 
may  have  contradicted  their  belief.  They 
may  have  quarreled  with  all  their  associates 
from  early  youth  upward ;  they  may  be 
mean,  suspicious,  jealous,  tyrannical,  ene- 
mies of  friendship,  repellers  of  sympathy 
and  all  gentle  offices.  Still,  their 
experience  teaches  them  by  contraries ; 
they  recognize  consequences ;  but  the 
causes  they  ascribe  to  others,  or  at  least  to 
something  outside  of  themselves.  They  are 
precisely  as  they  should  be  ;  it  is  their  ac- 
quaintances who  are  at  fault,  or  if  not  they, 
it  is  the  perversity  of  circumstance  which 
thwarts  desirable  ends.  They  may  have 
been  married  once  or  twice,  and  fotmd  mar- 
riage hateful ;  but  this  does  not  prevent 
them  from  new  ventures  of  the  same  sort, 
confident  that  their  own  affectionate  and 
domestic  disposition  must  eventually  be 
answered  and  the  connubial  happiness  pro- 
duced they  were  bom  to  secure. 

Of  such  frame  of  mind  must  have  been 
the  man  who,  as  one  of  our  Western  ex- 
changes avers,  recently  took  a  fifth  wife  in 
Chicago  after  having  been  divorced  from 
four  others  in  little  more  than  nine 
years.  Almost  any  sane  person  wotild 
have  refrained  from  a  continuation  of  mat- 
rimonial activity  confronted  by  the  vivid 
reco'Jeotion  of  four  unfortunate  experi- 
ments. But  marriage  is  a  thing  on  which  the 
sanest  are  often  insane,  and  four  divorces  in 
nine  years  are  assuredly  suScient  excuse  for 
mental  disorder  even  of  an  aggravated 
character.  A  man  who  had  been  so  fre- 
quently wedded  and  unwedded  must  of  ne- 
cessity be  confused  as  to  his  condition. 
jVIight  he  not  have  formed,  after  sneh  varied 
experience,  a  matrimonal  habit  too  strong 
to  be  resisted  ?•  If  he  live,  will  he  not  go  on 
in  the  same  course  to  old  age  f  The  divorce 
laws  are  so  peculiar  in  the  West,  and  so 
much  chicanery  is  employed  there  in  ob- 
taining divorce,  that  he  may  yet  be  the  hus- 
band of  half  the  woman  in  his  immediate 
neighborhood.  It  is  altogether  probable 
that  he  wonders  why  his  four  wives — the 
fifth  also  by  this  time,  perhaps — should  have 
been  so  rasolved  to  diesmee  with  him.  and  i. 


should  hare  forced  him  to  seek  legal  tedresf 
for  his  wrongs.  A  hundred  to  one  that  Itc 
-regards  himself  as  an  amiable,  affectionate; 
yielding  creature,  against  whom  women 
have  formed  conspiracies  for  the  ruin  of  his 
<lomestic  peace. 

It  might  be  thought  that  one  inharmonious 
marriage,  with  its  long  train  of  tmspeakable 
woes,  would,  _,aft€r  release  by  death  or  di- 
vorce, invest  pie  question  of  another  mar- 
riage with  an  awful  responsibility.  It 
would  seem  that  he  or  she  who  had  suffered 
from  one  such  cruei  disappointment  would 
be  in  dread  of  another,  and  would  be  de- 
terred from  re-entering  a  state  so  associated 
with  bitterness  and  pain  until  time  and  re- 
flection had  given  some  guarantee  against 
a  recurrence  of  the  tragedy.  Bat  on 
the  contrary,  persons  who  have  been 
unhappily  married  and  have  escaped 
through  natura  or  through  law,  appear 
unusually  eager  to  tempt  matrimoniai 
fortune  again.  They  may  think  that, 
having  been  unlucky  once,  they  shall  be 
lucky  a  second  time  ;  that  the  repeated 
hazard  will  yield  what  the  fiirst  refused. 
Whatever  they  think,  they  act  in  a  way  to 
show  that  they  are  incapable  of  profiting 
by  experience.  la  fact,  no  amount  of  con-  , 
nubial  wretchedness  seems  to  keep  people 
out  of  new  alliances  when  they  are  once  free- 
of  the  old.  They  appear  to  be  incited  by 
wretchedness  in  the  past  to  risk  wretched- 
ness in  the  future. 

They  never  suspect  for  a  moment  that 
they  are  not  tuned  to  matrimony  ;  that 
matrimony  is  a  pitch  above  or  bslow  theii, 
and  that  it  and  they  can  never  "oe  in  accord. 
To  them  the  very  idea  is  preposterous.  AU  . 
that  a  man  or  woman  needs  Cor  iiappiness 
they  sriy,  is  a  proper  mate.  That  may  be  ; 
bat  there  are  men  and  women  for  whom  .i 
proper  mate  is  uno'iitainable,  or  oaghi  to  be, 
in  the  intereii  of  Ci\-U:ia'-!on.  Sacu  icc;i 
and  women,  mainly  the  mja,  have  no  con- 
ception of  trao  marriage  or  of  the  basis  oa 
which  it  rests.  They  'balieve  that  it  should 
be  all  exaction  on  one  s'ide  and  all  oon- 
cessiou  on  the  other:,  that  indl^erence 
or  unkindness  s'noald  oa  met  with  de- 
votion ;  that  raJca3s>  sho'jld  evok;  srmpi- 
thy :  that  loss  of  eass-ji  saould  be  the 
crown  of  love.  Failing  to  fitil  eongeriiai 
marriage  ou  such  terms  after  one  or  two 
experiments,  they  sci'il  persevere,  and  nsta- 
raUy  persevere  in  vain. 

Persons  who  get  divorces,  thongh  there  are 
many  exceptions,  are  not  generally  in  har- 
mony with  t'ae  institution  of  marriage,  or, 
in  other  words,  in  harmony  with  themselves. 
Theyexpect  from  miriia^;^  whit  is  nor  aud 
should  not  be  in  it.  They  seek  to  get  every- 
thing, and  give  nothing  in  exchange.  It 
might  be  surmised  that  divorced  people 
would  suspect  and  avoid  one  another :  but, 
oddly  enoii.2;h,  they  often  have  a  m'itual 
affinity.  The  number  of  divoreed  men  who 
have  married  divorced  wom.3n  would  be  sur- 
prising, if  it  were  kaoxa.  Xot  unf  reqaently 
they  get  divorjed  ag.iin:  for  one  divorce 
makes  another  easy,  aui  enco-orajes  the 
custom.  To  a  certain  sort  of  folks,  too, 
there  is  in  conjunction,  disjunction,  and  re- 
conjunction  a  rv'il'l  e.vcitemsnt,  not  unlike 
drinking  brandy  before  br«al£f-ast,  and 
equally  pernicious. 

There  are  persons  incessantly  declaiming 
against  marriage  as  an  intolerable  eviL 
They  have  tested  it  f  ally,  they  declare,  and 
therefore  they  kiio.v.  Tiie  fast  of  their  test- 
ing it  proves  nothing  agi'inst  mirriagj,  but 
only  their  unfitness  for  it.  which  a  close  ob- 
server would  have  granted  without  the  ex- 
periment, .^d  they  will  be  sure  to  test  it 
again.  Marriage,  as  at  present  managed, 
may  not  be  aU  that  it  should  be  :  but  it  ii 
so  infinitely  superior  to  anything  yet  pro- 
posed in  its  place,  that  it  is  well  to  remem- 
ber that  its  tradueers,  instead  of  touching  or 
hurting  it,  are  merely  abusing  and  hurting 
themselves. 


TEMPEBANCE  SEVIVAL  IN  BONDOVT. 
EoXBorx.  Aug.  25. — The  great  temper- 
ance revival  continues  without  abatement,  and. 
in  fact,  shows  slens  of  increasing  interest.  Th« 
second  week  closed  last  nijht,  when  221  per 
sons  si^ed  the  pledge  and  donned  the  blue  rib- 
bon, making  a  total  of  2,021  for  the  two  weeks. 
The  second  week  showed  nearly  double  th« 
number  of  names  a^;  compared  with  the  £zsc 
week.  Ajnong  '.he  speakers  last  night  wtm 
Judge  Wesfbrook,  who  ssid  that  during  his 
practice  at  the  bar  of  Lister  he  had  been  em- 
ployed in  every  murder  case  in  the  county  sbv» 
when  absent,  and  of  tnese  every  one,  with  a 
single  exception,  were  directly  chargeable  to 
mm.  and  he  had  held  court  since  he  had  been 
on  the  bench  when  t'aere  were  a  cozen  criminals 
in  court  at  a  time,  every  one  of  who2a 
were  brought  ther«  by  rum.  This  move- 
ment embraces  all  the  temperance  worker* 
in  the  place,  of  all  shades  of  opin- 
ion, and  is  remarkable  for  the  great  unanimity 
of  those  engaged.  In  the  upper  portion  of  th» 
city,  or  old  Kingston,  the  firstt  effort  to  start 
the  movement  failed,  but  a  meeting  was  held 
there  yesterday  afternoon  to  complete  arrange- 
ments for  commencing  meetings,  and  next 
week  it  is  expected  the  whole  city  will  ba 
aroused-  Visitors  from  the  neighboring  town« 
and  villages  are  drawn  to  these  meetlDfrs.  and. 
Mr.  Qobri£:ht.  the  leader,  predicts  that  Rondout 
wUl  be  to  the  eastern  part  of  the  State  wha» 
Elmira  is  to  the  western.  The  progress  of  ti;* 
movement  here,  he  savs,  exceeds  any  shoTra' 
in  any  part  of  Ohio,  'Pezmsjlvania,  or  New^' 
York. 


THE  NOBTHVILLE  CAMP-MEETING. 

JoHXSTOWx,  X.  T.,  Aug.  25. — This  tvaa 
the  last  day  of  the  greatest  camp-meeting  evei 
held  in  tills  section.  The  weather  has  been  de- 
lightful for  the  past  week,  and  the  attendano 
at  each  day's  meetings  very  large.  A  grea- 
many  have  been  converted.  A  love  feast  wai. 
held  at  9  o'clock  this  momiuz.  J.  Benncti 
Anderson,  of  England,  delivered  an  interestiD'; 
address,  and  before  the  close  of  tbe  meetinff  7fe 
converts  were  made.  Immediately  after  th« 
love  feast  a  meeting  of  prayer  was  held  for  tbf 
anxious  ones.  Th'^  closing  remarks  wer»  madr 
by  Bev.  Mr.  Dayton. 

TRE  BBANCff  MIST  INVESTIGATION- 
Saceamekto,  CaL,  Aug.  25. — The  pnblii 
sessions  of  the  Mint  Investi^&tiug  Conunissiox 
closed  last  night,  though  further  private  In- 
quiries will  be  carried  on.  A  significant  piece 
of  testimony  -was  given  by  Fz«nk  Levine,  an 
employe  for  11  years  is  the  mist,  who  testified 
to  overhearing  a  conversation  between  Superin- 
tendent Lagrani^  and  Pinney,  at  the  county 
jail  in  which  the  latter  told  the  former  that  hf 
would  prefer  no  charges  against  him  if  le  wo'jlj 
join  him  [Pinney]  and  his  crowd,  and  help  them 
through.  Lagr^ge  said  he  did  not  fear  in  vesti- 
^tion,  as  nothing  could  be  proved  against  him. 
Pinney  urged,  however,  that  it  might  be  that  it 
would  cost  Lagrange  a  good  deal  of  money,  and 
he  added,  ■*  Ton  know  thnt  throtigh  my  people  J 
can  prove  anything  I  -want  to  prove,''  Levine 
accompanied  Lagrange  to  the  jail  for  the  pu» 
pose  or  listening  to  the  interview.

\  IIaBQE  crowd  PKESKNT — SPEECH    BT  SEK- 
ATOR  CONKLING. 

Oswego.  N.  Y.,  Aug.  25.— The  annual 
rcxxnion  of  the  Teterana'  Association  of  Oswego 
bounty  was  held  here  to-day.  Special  trains 
brought  large  numbers  of  people  to  the  city, 
which  Tra3  gayly  decorated.  The  feature  of  the 
day  v»8  a  meeting,   which  was  addreaaed  by 

^    Senator  Conkling.    Judge  William  P.  Allen  In- 
troduced the  Senator,  who  said: 

To  sny  tb.it  i  am  highly  honoTed  thus  to  me«i  rou 
wonlJ  be  to  ;^.ve  inndequate  expreaaion  to  the  se'ntl- 
rocitta  ins^^Ir^  by  tho  occasion.  T^  va«t  asaem- 
blagi*  ".oriiosfrom  nil  walks  of  life  and  all  poUtieal 
persiiyttmis.  .Stirred  by  somo  oommon  rea- 
Boa  rome  duep  feeling  or  eonviotioii  has 
^atimmcr^e-i  such  n,  concourse.  What  la  !t  ?  Yea 
have  cumo  in  grateful  appreciation  of  all  heroes  ^ho, 
living  i)r  liyiri:;,  were  cotisacrated  to  establlshii^  or 
preservin™  tbivt  fair  fabric  of  dvil  and  religious  rre«- 
lotu,  that  gr-fai  heritage  of  order  and  liberty  which 
m  oro  permitted  to  enjoy.  Who  are  these  dead  whose 
fmvcs,  made  n  few  Summers  ago,  nro  yet  moistened 
frith  nniiiLoti'stenrs  !  Theyworeall  soliers  ofthe  Re- 
pnbUc.     In   a  dark  and  appalling  hour  these  men, 

^  K>okiug.  it  might  be.  for  the  last  time  into  the  faces 
of  moiliers  and  sisters,  and  cblldreu  and 
^wiTes,  tumetl  away  from  home — their  homes — 
and  went  out  to  bare  their  bosoms  to  tbe 
ley  pang  of  death.  From  the  State  of  New- York 
moro  than  500.000  citizen  soldiers  went  to  the  field. 
£Vnm  Oswego  County  five  regiments  went,  and  many 
besides  went  in  other  regtments  and  In  the 
nar>'.  The  Btirriwirs  of  these  bands  are 
with  '«.«*  lo-dav.  When  the  war  was  done 
more  thnu  JSOO.OOO  soldiers  put  off  their  uniforms, 
Inid  aside  the  bayonet  and  the  sword,  and  melted 
into  the  ranks  of  oiUzeashSp  as  peecefnlly  as  when  a 
itomi  is  over  the  waves  melt  into  the  sea.  The 
'world  had  looked  on  in  wonder  to  such 
annies  raised  and  maintained.  Everybody  knew 
they  had  courage  which  -danger  could  not 
daunt,  nor  sufTering  sabdae  :  bat  how  snch  an  army 
cotUd  be  suddenlv  and  quietly  disbanded  was,  in  the 
old  iTorld.  oixm  of  the  greatest  puzzles  of  the  age.  The 
soldiers  solved  :t  in  an  hour ;  the  love  of 
country  which  organized  them  dissolved 
their  organization:  the  moment  they  were 
no  longer  needeci  they  disappeared.  The 
same  patriotism  would  organize  them  again. 
The  enormous  extent  of  tbe  territory  covered,  the 
distances  involved,  and  the  natural  barriers  to  be 
mrmounted.    all  aggravated    our  disadvantage  and 

?>»tponed  the  final  overthrow  of  the  rebellion. ' 
he  task  was  great  and  tho  military  part  of  it 
was  thoronghly  accompU^hed.  Should  history 
record  a  foilure  in  the  purposes  of  the  struggle  for 
national  integritv  and  equ^  righti",  that  failure  will 
date,  not  f:-om  tlie  war,  but  from  the  time  the  war 
was  over.  The  bl.^me.  If  blame  there  shall  be, 
cannot  t>e  traced  to  shortcomings  of  our  armies, 
or  to  incompletenes-s  In  the  work  they  did. 
Xor  cau  this  victorious  nation  ever  be  charged  with  a 
vengeful  spirit  toward  the  vanquished.  The  atmals 
hf  tlofs  will  be  searched  in  vain  for  a  par- 
allel "to  the  magnanimity  and  generosity 
of  ouB  people  toward  those  who  dreni-hed  the 
land  m  blood  and  covered  it  with  mourning.  The 
imtiou's  prayer  should  be  that  neither  this  genera- 
tion nor  any  other  may  ever  be  brought  to  the  bitter 
thought  that  the  martyrs  of  the  great  struggle  for 
thtf  Vnion  and  a  puritied  Constitution  died 
in  Tain.  The  mission  of  our  cotmtry 
now  Is  peace.  We  are  slowly  emerging 
from  *  period  of  business  prostration  and  distress. 
We  h»ive  outlived  the  worst  evils  of  an  inflated  and 
depreciated  currency,  and  wisdom  and  patience  will 
soon  make  every  paper  dollar  all  it  pretends  to  be. 
Prorideuce  has 'made  this  a  year  of  unexampled 
bono  ty.  The  crops  of  all  kinds  exceed  all  precedent. 
This  IS  riches  for  the  farmer,  the  producer,  the  mer- 
chnct  and  carrier,  and  at  this  we  all  can  rejoice. 

Tfce  promise  of  the  future  in  respect  of  material 
prof.perity  is  anvihing  but  gloomy.  We  do  not  need 
laxEre  Illations  about  exaggerated  or  imaginary 
trembles.  We  need  cheerfulness  and  faith.

■Washixqtos,  Aug.  25,  1S77. 

ilessrs.  "Wells  and  Anderson,  of  the  Louis- 
iana Returning  Board,  arrived  this  evening. 

Thomas  M.  Plowman  this  afternoon  ten- 
dered to  the  District  Commissioner  his  resigpia- 
tion  as  Inspector  of  Buildings,  and  it  was  ac- 
cepted. 

The  President  received  several  visitors 
this  morain«:.  Among  tbose  who  had  inter- 
vieTTB  with  him  were  several  Cabinet  officers, 
Jnd^  Settle,  of  Florida ;  R«presentative  Scales, 
of  North  Carolina;  Gov.  Hartranft,  of  Penn- 
sylvania, and  ex-Senator  Harvt&y,  of  Kansas. 

Mr.  Silverman,  of  Brookl}-n,  N.  Y.,who 
preferred  the  charge?  against  Internal  Revenue 
Collector  James  Preeland,  was  at  the  Internal 
Revenue  Office  to-day,  and  had  an  interview 
with  Commissioner  Raam.  His  visit  did  not 
result  in  any  additional  action  being  taken  by 
the  department 

The  President  has  appointed  Samuel  A. 
Brooks  and  Warrington  f).  Roath  to  be  First 
Lieutenants  in  the  revenue  service  of  the 
Unittd  States.  Galathiel  M.  Crosby  is  appointed 
Second  Lieutenant  in  the  revenue  service. 
Henry  B.  Sheldon,  of  California,  is  appointed 
Agent  of  the  Round  Valley  Agency,  in  Cali- 
tOroia.  Daniel  W.  Finney,  of  Kansas,  is  ap- 
pointed Receiver  of  Public  Moneys  at  Topeka, 

It  is  altogether  likely  that  Gen.  Terry 
ilone  wiU  be  sent  to  negotiate  with  Sitting  Bull. 
The  trip  19  of  such  a  formidable  character  that 
rery  few  citizens  of  the  proper  calibre  care  to 
ondsrtake  it,  especially  as  they  must  take  their 
pay  in  gratitude.  It  is  believed  that  Gen.  Terry 
sain  do  the  business  just  us  well  by  himself  as  it 
could  be  done  by  a  commission  of  half  a  dozen 
persons. 

The  Bureau  of  Statistics  famishes  the 
statement  that  of  27.560.885  hundred  weight 
of  wheat,  valued  at  £17,329,444.  which  were 
Imported  into  the  Cnited  Kingdom  duriiig  the 
seven  montlis  ended  July  31  last,  5,373,674 
came  from  Russia.  2,667,022  from  Germany, 
2.841,611  from  British  India,  11,318,646 
[41  per  cent,  of  the  whole)  from  the  United 
States,  of  which  8,109.224  hundred  weight 
were  shipped  from  Pacific  ports,  and  the  re- 
mainder £coin.  other  co^tries. 

The  rumor  is  again  in  circidation.  that  the 
President  is  considering  the  propriety  of  post- 
poning the  next  session  of  Congress  to  the  regu- 
tor  day  in  December.  The  statement  is  made 
that  be  has  received  letters  from  prominent 
business  men  througbout  the  country,  urging 
that  there  Is  no  present  necessity  for  the  meet- 
ing of  Congress,  and  that  the  material  interests 
(Fould  probably  be  better  served  by  a  prolonga- 
tion of  the  vacation.  Many  Congressmen  have 
dso,  it  i3«aid,  written  to  the  same  effect,  some 
sf  them  tirging  the  importance  to  them  as  law- 
;^ers,  of  pressing  btisiness  before  the  courts  at 
the  Fall  term. 

The  ITnited  States  Consul  at  St.  John's, 
Newfoundland,  has  informed  the  Department 
9f  State  that  four  American  fishermen,  who  had 
tnissed  their  schooners,  were  picked  up  on  the 
Srand  Bank  by  passing  vessels  and  landed  at 
St.  John's.  Charles  Wheeler  aud  Michael  Down- 
ing, of  tbe  Battle  Westerzi,  were  picked  up  by 
Capt.  Robinson,  of  tbe  schooner  Hattie  New- 
man. Michael  Anthony  and  Manuel  Silvia,  of 
the  schooner  Frank,  were  picked  up  by  Capt. 
West,  of  the  Charlie,  of  Essex.  The  Consul 
took  them  in  charge,  relieved  their  wants,  and 
sapped  them  to  Gloucester,  Mass.

P.  G.  DUFFY,  PoUce  Justice. 

Justice  Duffy  granted  the  warrant,  and  Central 
Office  Detective  King  was  detailed  to  serve  it.  Ofllcer 
King  went  to  the  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel,  and  took  Wes- 
ton to  Police  Head-quarters,  where  he  was  locked  up 
for  the  night.  About  4:30  o'clock  yesterday  after- 
noon the  ofQcer  and  his  prisoner  made 
their  appearance  in  the  private  examination- 
room  of  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  and 
were  ushered  into  the  clerk's  inner  room.  The  door 
was  closed  and  nobody  was  allowed  in  except  Mr. 
Knox,  an  officer  of  the  New- York  Life  Insurance 
Company,  and  Weston's  counsel,  &Ir.  James  Oliver. 
After  the  affidavit  had  been  read  Counselor  Oliver 
wanted  to  examine  the  affidavit,  but  Justice  Duffy 
would  not  permit  him.  The  counselor  objected 
strenuously  to  the  proceedings,  and  then  reduced  his 
objections  to  writing,  a  copy  of  which  he  served  on 
the  conrL  H's  Honor  committed  Weston  to  the 
Honseof  Detention  in  default  of  $2,000  bail. 

Weston  Is  a  rosy-chewed,  round-faced,  young-look- 
ing man.  with  long  durk-brown  mustache  and  chin 
whiskers.  He  has  a  bright  eye,  talks  rapidly  and 
with  an  apparent  candor  that  is  refreshing,  and  uses 
good  bmgoi^e.  He  was  plainly  but  well  p lad.  Du- 
ring the  few  moments  of  waiting  for  Justice  Duffy's 
arrival  and  for  a  few  moments  afterward  he  con- 
versed freely  with  the  reporters  tonchlng  his  arrest 
and  treatment  by  the  detectives.  He  says  he  is  42 
years  of  age,  has  a  wife  and  child,  and  is  in  the  horse 
auction  and  commission  business  at  Kos.  196  and 
19d  East  Washington-street,  Chicago.  He  claims  to 
be  well  connected  and  respectable.  His  story  Ib  as 
follows :  About  7  o'clock,  on  the  evening  of  Thurs- 
day a  week  ago,  as  he  was  descending  the  steps  of  the 
Sherman  House,  one  of  the  leading  Chicago  hotels, 
he  was  accosted  and  his  passage  barred  by  three  men. 
One  gave  his  name  as  Col.  Austin,  a  private  citizen, 
representing  the  New- York  Life  Insurance  and  Union 
Trust  Companies  of  New- York.  The  second  was  ux- 
Speclal  TreasuryJAgent  Jayne.  and  the  third  was  Con- 
stable Hartaoan.  of  Chicago.  They  showed  him  a  war- 
rant sworn  to  |by  S.  H  Carney,  chaiging  him  with 
having  passedaforgedcheck  for  $64, 000  on  the  L^'hion 
Trust  Company,  and  told  him  to  consider  himself 
under  arrest.  Knowing  the  constable,  he  yielded 
without  resistance,  and  was  taken  to  the  Grand 
Pacific,  another  leading  hotel,  where  he  was  put  Into 
a  room  and  another  warrant  was  read  to  him,  the 
name  attached  to  which  he  did  not  catch,  aeeusing 
htm  of  forging  a  check  for  $26,000,  on  the  Third  Na^ 
tional  Bank.  They  kept  him  in  the  Grand  Pacific 
Hotel  until  Saturday  night  a  week  ago.  He  was  well 
fed,  bat  was  kept  under  the  strictest  survelliauce, 
was  not  allowed  to  communicate  with  anybody,  and 
was  frequently  threatened  with  penalties  of  divers 
alarming  kinds  uuless  he  divulged  what  he  knew 
about  the  for^ries.  He  says  that  Constable  Hart- 
man  fiourished  before  his  fare  a  revolver  "  as  big  as 
hi«  arm,'' but  that  it  was  Jayne  who  was  the  princi- 
pal actor  in  the  endeavor  to  terrify  him.  Among 
other  things,  Ja>'ne  told  him  he  had  everything 
fixed  to  put  Dim  ia  a  dark  cell  at  Police 
Head-quarters  if  he  continued  obstinate. 
Another  time  Javno  said  to  him  :  "During  my  four 
years' service  I  Iiave  sent  2S0mentothe  peniten- 
tiary, and  I  will  send  you  there — it  don't  make  any 
difference  whether  yon  arp  innocent  or  guilty — unless 
you  give  thin  thing  away."  They  wotud  freiiuently 
''grit  their  teeth  at  liim  and  shake  their  nsts  at 
him,  but  hia  reply  always  was  that  he  knew  nothing 
about  the  affair,  and  could,  therefore,  tell  them 
nothing.  They  also  told  him  that  President  Pierce, 
of  the  Chicago  Third  National  Bank,  had  accused^ 
him  of  forgmg  notes  on  that  bank.  He  de-  '^ 
manded  a  trial  and  coonsel,  but  thoy  were ' 
refused  him.  From  scraps  of  conversation  that 
he  overheard  he  learned  that  Gessner  was 
also  a  prisoner  at  tbe  hotel,  but  he  did  not  see  him. 
When  arrested  he  was  searched,  and  some  private 
papers  and  7  cents  in  money  were  found  on  his  per- 
son. These  were  taken  away  aud  have  never  been 
returned  to  him.  On  Saturday  night  he  was  taken 
to  the  Michigan  Southern  Depot  aud  =  put  on  tmard 
the  cars.  The  distance  from  tbe  hotel  was  traversed 
on  foot.  Weston  made  no  resistance,  because 
he  supposed  his  captors  had  authority  for  what 
they  were  doing.  On  the  way  Jayne,  he 
Maya,  said  to  him,  "'  Now  wo  are  going  to  give  you 
a  chance  to  slip."  This  offer  he  \'irtuonslv  spumed. 
He      said      that      after      what      had      taken    plar-e 

he  would  be  d d  if  he  would  run  away  ;  he  would 

see  the  thinj^  through.  On  board  the  train  he  got 
hold  of  a  Chicago  newspaper  and  read  in  it  an  inter- 
view with  President  Pierce,  of  the  Third  National 
Banlc,  in  which  the  latter-said  he  had  nothing  against 
him,  and  had  authorized  nobody  to  arrest  him.  This 
made  him  feet  ver^-  indignant,  but  at  the  some  time 
it  was  a  relief  to  lilm,  as  the  only  thing  that  had 
troubled  him  about  coming  to  New-York 
was  fear  lest  soma  unanswered  charge  might 
bn  pending  against  him  in  Cliic&go.  He 
did  not  pee  Gesaner  on  the  cars.  On 
arriving  in  New-York  on  Monday  afternoon  he  Was 
taken  to  the  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel  and  placed  in  lltKyia 
No.  105.  next  door  to  Jayne's.  which  was  No.  lot*. 
Constable  Uartman  came  on  to  New- York  with  him. 
but  immeyi«tely  returned  home.  At  the  Fifth- 
Avenue  Holi'l  the  threats  were  renewed,  and  every 
precaution  was  taken  to  prevent  communication  with 
the  outer  world.  There  were  ^uerally  two  or  three 
of  his  captors  in  the  room  with  him.  and  whenever 
they  went  out  they  locked  the  door  after  them.  The 
newspapers  were  furnished  the  prisoner  to  read, but  all 
«bout  tbe C".  e  had  been  pre^iousl^  cut  out  of  thetit, 
and  he  could  not  leam  what  was  being  said  about  him. 
He  gathered  from  converB.-xtions  between  his  jailers 
that  Qessner  and  Sprague  were  also  in  the  hotel  in, 
confinement,  but  he  never  saw  either  of  them.  He' 
attempted  several  times  to  attract  the  attention  o£. 
porteta,  but  none  of  them  would  come  to  him.  Once- 
ho  su^eeded  In  stopping  a  hall  boy,  and  a.'iked  him 
for  a  key,  so  that  he  could  open  the  door ;  but  the  boy 
answered  that  he  had  received  instructions  not  to  do 
80.  On  Weihiesday  evening  Col.  Austin  took  him  out 
for  a  little  fresh  air,  and  they  walked  quite  a  way  up 
town  and  back  again.  Weston  does  not  say  why  he 
did  not  make  use  of  this  opportunity  to  escape.  On 
Thursday  afternoon,  when  he  whs  left  alono  for  a 
few  minutes,  he  opened  the  window  and  endeavored 
to  attract  the  attention  of  the  passers-by. 
He  had,  meantime,  managed  to  secure  a  lead 
pencil  and  a  piece  of  paper,  with  which  he 
wrote  a  note  to  the  uptown  office  of  a  newspaper 
asking  for  a  reporter.  A  boy  happened  to  look  up. 
Weston  pronused  to  nay  him  for  carrj-ing  the  note, 
and  the  boy  consentinjr.  Weston  threw  the  note  out 
of  the  window  and  the  boy  went  off  with  it.  A  short 
time  later  Weston  saw  the  boy  come  back  with  an 
envelope  in  his  hand  and  enter  the  hotel,  but  the 
answer  never  reached  him. 

Such  was  Weston's  story  to  The  Times  reporter. 
He  said  he  had  known  Sprague  15  years,  but  was 
only  slightly  acquainted  with  Gessner,  whom  he  saw 
for  the  first  time  last  January  at  his  [Weston's] 
office  in  Chicago.  He  acknowledged  that  11 
years  ago  he  was  was  practicing  in  t)iis  City  as  a 
carer  of  stammering,  but  denied  everything  else  the 
detectives  have  said  about  him.  "  I  mav  have  driven 
sharp  bargains  in  my  life  but  I  never  did  anything 
crooked  "he  said.  "  Of  this  forgery  business  I  am 
as  innocent  as  an  unborn  babe.  I  know  nothing 
whatever  about  it."  Then  rising  to  his  feet  he 
stnUghtened  himself  up  and,  strildng  his  breast,  said 
with  dramatic  Impresstveness,  a  candor  that  was 
charming  beaming  from  his  countenance  as  he  spoke, 
"Here  in  this  conscience  everything  is  satisfactory 
and  clear."  He  went  on  to  say  that 
during  the  four  years  he  has  been  in  Chicago  be  has 
not  been  out  of  it  but  twice,  and  then  to  visit  his 
father,  who  resides  about  100  mites  away.  He  has 
paid  the  strictest  attention  to  his  business,  and  has 
been  at  his  office  day  and  night.  With  many  reitera- 
tions of  his  innocence,  Weston  was  led  away  to  the 
House  of  Detention  by  Officer  King.  The  detectives 
say  that  Weston  could  never  be  found  at  his  livery 
stable  in  Chicago  ;  that  he  was  always  away  from  it, 
and,  that  his  brother  runs  it  for  him.  Tber 
agree — both  Police  and  private— that,  whatever 
faja  connection  with  the  present  case, 
he  has  long  been  known  as  a  forger  and  the  intimate 
of  forgers.  Counselor  Oliver  procured  a  writ  of 
habeas  corpus  in  his  behalf  from  Judge-^Donohue  late 
yesterday  afternoon.  It  will  be  served  early  to-mor- 
row morning.  Weston  says  he  will  bring  actions 
both  criminal  and  dvil  against  Messrs.  Peekham, 
Jayne.  Austin,  and  Carney,  Constable  Hartman,  the 
propnetoTS  of  the  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel,  the  Union 
^TtutC  Company,  and  everybody  who  has  had  a  hand 
in  hia  arrest,  and  be  expects  to  xeaUxe  from  the  lot 
A  good-sized  fortune. 

According  to  appointment  the  Tncxs  reporter 
caUad  on  Qessner  T^erday  afternoon,  at  the  l^maba. 
The  disttagoiahed  accoaea  came  down  stain  looking 
cool  and  anmffled.  H«  vaa  ta  hia  ahizt  slasves,  aa3 
waa  smokiiic^  a  elgar.  Ha  said  he  had  seen  his  coma- 
Mi,  and  ngrcrtted  that  the  latter  bad  ivpeatad  his  in- 
janeStea  sot  to  talk  about  tha  eaaa  to  aarbody.    Ha 


did  not  know  the  reason  for  poatpoxdsg  his  examine 
tion  untU  Thursday  next,  but  supposed  that  It  waa 
to  give  time  to  prepare  hLs  defense.  He  had 
nothing  to  say  against  Jayne,  who  had  treated 
htm  very  well  indew,  except  in  the  matter  of  taking 
hU  money  and  his  watch.  He  [Gtesaner]  supposed 
that  Jayne  had  authorAy  to  arrest  and  imprison  him. 
He  was  ignorant  of  the  law,  and  was  not' allowed  to 
communicate  with  anybody.  That  was  the  reason  he 
had  submitted  so  quietly  to  the  indignity  that  had 
been  put  upon  him.  It  waa  rough,  of  course,  to  be 
obliged  to  remain  in  such  a  place  as  the  Tombs  for  a 
week,  butone  hod  to  submit  to  the  inevitable,  {with 
a  shrug.)  Throughout  the  conversation  Oessner  was 
imparttirbably  polita,  and  at  Its  conclusion  bowed  the 
reporter  out  with  the  grace  of  a  Chesterfield. 

A  gentleman  eonneoted  with  the  defense  of  Q«oree 
Becker,  one  of  the  forgers  now  in  the  Tombs,  told 
a  TiiiK9  rBr>orter  that  Mr.  Wheeler  H  Peckham  said 
to  him  yesterday :  "We  now  have  all  the  evidence 
we  want  to  implicate  one  of  the  foremost  business 
men  in  New- York  in  the  $64,00U  lorgery.  We  have 
bim  sure,  and  he  can't  iret  out  of  it.  In  a  very 
few  da>-B  he  will  be  azrested.  and  the  entire  facts  of 
the  case  will  be  given  to  the  public.  It  will  make 
one  of  the  most  startling  sensations  New- York  has 
had  for  40  years."  Subsequently  the'reporter  asked 
a  well-known  detective,  who  has  been  employed  in 
ferreting  out  the  forgery  ever  since  the  commence- 
ment, whether  this  waa  true.  The  reply  was  that  it 
was.  Another  detective,  who  has  also  had  a  great 
deal  to  do  with  the  case,  in  answer  to  a  similar  ques- 
tion said  he  did  not  know,  but  he 
named  a  gentleman  who  is  a  very  high 
official  in  the  New- York  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, who  has  been  suspected  of  complicity 
in  the  forgery  almost  from  the  be^^nning.  "In 
fact,"  said  the  officer,  "we  were  sure  he  was  in  it, 
but  we  have  not  been  able  hitherto  to  get  the  neces- 
sary proof. ' '  He  then  went  on  to  relate  sundry  other 
queitionable  tranriactlons  in  which  the  gentleman 
has,  it  is  alleged,  been  engaged  in  connection  with 
other  gentlemen  who  also  stand  high  in  the  com- 
munity; but  for  the  present  it  would  not  be  proper 
to  repeat  these  stories.  Mr.  Peokham  could  not  be 
found  last  evening. 

The  detectives  generally  said  yesterday  that  Thb 
Tim ss  hod  struck  the  right  track.  They  said  that, 
although  the  Union  Trust  Company  was  compelled 
to  shoulder  the  loss  of  tbe  forg^  check,  they  did  so 
with  an  ill  grace,  because  they  firmly  believed  that 
the  swindle  was  rendered  possible  by  officials  of 
the  New- York  Life  Insurance  Company.  They  have 
never  ceased  In  their  efforts  to  clear  the  matter  up 
and  to  fasten  the  crime  upon  the  supposed  guilty 
parties,  as  in  that  event  tho  New-Yora  life  Insur- 
ance Company  would  be  compelled  to  refund  them 
the$64,UOO — "quite  a  considerable  sum  to  lose  in 
these  tiard  times. "  said  one  officer.  It  was  to  this  end 
Jayne  was  employed  and  the  present  proceedings  in- 
stituted. Whether  Fullerton,  Knox  &  Crosby;,  the 
counsel  for  the  New- York  Life,  have  been  acting  in 
the  interests  of  justice  or  in  the  interests  of  their 
employers  was  a  question  on  which  the  •  detectives 
were  not  of  accord.  Those  who  are  moet  likely  to  be 
best  informed,  however,  hold  to  the  former  opinion. 
Carney,  one  of  the  men  Jayne  had  with  him.  is  a 
route  agent  or  special  detective  in  the  employ  of  the 
insurance  Qompsny.  Austin  was  formerly  attached 
to  Jayne's  office  in  the  Custom-house.  No  informa- 
tion could  be  got  on  the  subject  at  the  offices  of  the 
companies. 

Much  speculation  is  indulged  In  among  the  New- 
York  detectives  as  to  what  ex^etective  Elder  is  doing 
on  the  case  in  Saratoga.  One  of  them  says  that  while 
he  (the  speaker)  was  shadowing  Sprague  auid  GeBsnor 
at  the  time  .of  the  Third  NationabBank  fon^ery.  Elder 
was  shadowing  him,  and  eouldxell  him  all  about  his 
movements  every  day.  He  adds  that  Elder  seemed 
to  take  a  great  interest  in  the  case  at  first,  and  then 
suddenly  dronped  It.  Another  well-known  detective 
says  that  Elaer  waa  always  friendly  to  Gessner. 
SprajTue  at  one  time  had  as  a  partner  in  business  in 
this  City  a  man  named  Buckiugbam,  who,  when  they 

farted,  went  to  Saratoga  and  started  a  hotel  there. 
t  was  at  this  time  that  Sprague  purchased  his  Rah- 
way  farm.  It  is  thought  that  Elder  is  shadowing 
Buckingham,  and  endeavoring  to  get  some  evidence 
out  of  him  in  regard  to  Sprague,  but,  as  he  is  work- 
ing for  Mr.  Knox,  it  is  not  known  for  what  purpose 
it  18  to  be  used. 

The  stories  published  yesterday  that  Oessner  was 
connected  with  Macdonnell  in  the  Bank  of  England 
forgery,  and  that  the  forger  Williamson  waa  seen  on 
Broadway,  are  laughed  at  by  the  detectives.  Jayne 
is  reported,  on  authority  that  can  no  longer  be  dis- 
puted, to  have  gone  to  his  farm  at  Ithaca  for  a  few 
days. 


LOCAI  MISCELLAOT. 


SECRETARY  SHERMAN. 


HIS  VIEWS  ON  THE  PRACTICABILITY  OP  RE- 
SUMPTION AT  THE  TIME  SET— SILVER 
COINAGE. 

CoTTttpoTidtnu  of  the  CiTuinnati  ComnutreiaL 
Clevilakd.  Aug.  22,  1S77. 

I  met  Hon.  John  Sherman  at  the  Union  depot, 
where  he  was  about  taking  the  train  on  his  return 
from  Put -in-Bay  to  Mansfield.  On  being  reminded 
of  the  opinion  expressed  by  him  in  an  interview 
with  your  correspondent  in  the  Fall  of  1875  In  re- 
gard to  the  feasibility  of  resuming  specie  payments 
in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Resilmption  act,  if 
only  the  right  man  were  in  the  office  of  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  and  that  too,  without  the  aid  of  addi- 
tional legislation.  Mr.  Sherman  replied  : 

"There  is  no  difficulty  at  all  about  it.  You  see  that 
we  are  accunmiulating  the  gold  in  the  Treasury  for 
tlie  purpose — five  millions  a  month,and  the  premium 
on  gold  all  the  time  going  down-" 

Correspondent — lour  accumulation  of  coin  is  a 
steady  increase  then  ? 

Mr.  Sherman— Five  millions  a  month,  and  I  have 
the  next  two  months  already  provided  for.  The  rate 
from  the  1st  of  Mav  last  until  the  let  of  January. 
1879,  will  give  us  $100,000.000— auiple  to  resume 
on. 

Correspondent — If  only  now  we  could  get  the  $1 
and  $2  greenbacks  into  silver  dollars. 

Mr.  Sherman— That  will  very  likely  be  done.  I 
think.  I  have  no  doubt  Congress  when  it  meets  wiU 
authorize  it.  Of  course  the  legal-tender  quality  of 
the  silver  should  be  limited  to  the  same  extent  as  the 
legal-tender  of  the  greenbacks  is  limited — that  is,  so 
that  the  importers  couldn't  fiood  us  with  silver  In 
pa\Tnont  of  Chistoms  dues. 

Oorresnondcnt — The  amount  of  coinage  might  per- 
haps be  depended  upon  to  r»'gulate  this  ? 

Mr.  Sherman — We  must  tike  care  and  keep  our 
credit  un.shaken.  The  prt  sent  provision  of  law  in 
regard  to  Customs  duos  lies  at  the  basis  of  our  nystem 
for  dischargiug  our  obligations,  and  the  j»eople  are 
not  interested  in  having  that  disturbed :  but.  after 
all,  that  is  a  question  for  Congress  t^  determine. 
You  will  notice  that  when  sr.ch  questions  are  before 
Congress,  that  body,  after  turning  them  over  for  a 
while,  is  apt  to  come  out  somewhere  near  right  with 
them.  

WILD  STEERS  4T  LARGE. 


A  NUMBER  ESCAPE  FROM  A  DROVE — EXCITING 
PURSUIT  OP  THE  INFURIATED  ANIMALS — 
FOUR  OP  THEM  SHOT  BY  POLICE  AND 
CITIZENS. 

Early  yesterdav  morning  a  number  of  Texan 
steers  escaped  from  a  diive  which  was  being  driven 
to  the  abattoirs  on  the  west  side  of  the  City,  and 
started  off  down  town,  causing  a  great  deal  of  con- 
sternation and  excitement  among  pedestrians.  One 
of  the  animals  made  his  appearance  at  Twenty-fifth- 
street  and  Seventli-avenue  shortly  after  7  A.  M., 
followed  by  a  crowd  of  men  and  boys  who,  in  their 
endeavors  to  catch  him.  so  excited  the  brute  that  he 
became  furious.  I'atrolman  Miilheam,  of  tbe  Six- 
teenth Precinct,  endeavoredtto  stop  tho  career  of  the 
infuriated  ste^r.  but  the  latter  butdly  attacked  him. 
and  as  he  turned  to  retreat  stmck  him  in  the  baclc 
with  its  horns  and  tossed  him  into  tbe  air.  The  officer 
fell  heavily  to  the  pavement,  receiving  severe  in- 
juries. He  was  picked  up  by  nome  citizens  and  car^ 
ried  to  the  station-house  in  West  Twentieth -street. 
The  steer  rushed  down  the  street  to  EightJi-avenue, 
and  then  down  the  avenue.  Capt.  Kennedy,  with 
Roundsman  Webster  and  sovft-al  other  officers,  sur- 
rounded the  animal  in  front  of  No.  595  Hudson- 
street,  and  fired  several  shots,  which  killed  him. 

One  of  the  same  drove  was  killed  at  Seventh- 
avenue  and  Nineteenth-street  by  George  D.  Parsons, 
of  No.  142  Seventh-avenue,  who  dispatched  him  with 
a  well-aimed  shot  from  a  rifle,  and  another  still  waa 
shot  and  killed  by  Patrolman  McOuire,  of  the  Six- 
teenth Piecinct,  in  front  of  No.  109  Tenth-avenue. 
James  Bailev,  a  cart  driver  In  the  employ  of  the 
Street-cleaning  Bureau.  aI.^o  killed  a  wild  steer, 
evidently  one  of  the  same  drove,  in  Irving-place.  No 
other  casualties  than  those  described  above  were  re- 
ported by  the  Police.       

SBRIOrS  STAMBING  AFFIiAT. 
A  quarrel  occurred  last  evening  in  the  tenement- 
house  No.  420  West-street  between  Leonard  Rodan, 
aged  26,  a  native  of  Germany,  and  William  McGar- 
vell,  an  Irishman,  22  years  of  age,  which  re- 
sulted in  Rodan  stabbing  McGarvell  in  the 
left  side  with  a  pocket-knife,  indicting 
a  wound  which  it  is  feared  will  prove  fatal.  Both 
men  are  residents  of  the  bouse  No.  420  West-street, 
and  had  not  been  on  friendly  terms  for  some  time 
owingto  aquarrel  between  their  wives.  Bodanand  Mc- 
Garvell, met  in  front  of  the  house  lost  evening,  when 
the  old  quarrel  was  renewed.  Angry  words  passed 
between  the  men,  and  while  they  were  quarreling 
Mrs.  McGarvell  appeared  on  the  scene.  She  com- 
menced abusing  Rodan,  who,  beside  hlmt^elf  with 
rage,  called  the  woman  vile  names.  McQarvesll 
raised  his  fist  to  strike  Rodon,  when  the  latter  drew 
from  his  pocket  a  common  pocket-knife  and  plunged 
the  blade  a*  the  weapon  into  McGar^-ell's  left  side. 
The  wounded  man  fell  to  the  pavement,  and  was 
picked  up  and  carried  into  his  apartmeuts.  Dr.  Vos- 
Durg  was  summoned,  and  found  him  in  sji  extremely 
critical  condition.  Rodan  was  arrested  by  Patrol- 
man Ward,  of  the  Ninth  Precinct,  and  locked  up  at 
tbe  Charles-Street  Police  Station  to  await  the  result 
of  the  injuries.      •  ^

A  SEAVY  BUSINESS  FAILURE. 
SUSPENSION    OF   A  FLOUR   AND    GRAIN    FIBU 

WITH    $250,000     LIABILITIES  —  LARGE 

BUT  UNAVAILABLE  ASSETS. 
The  report  of  the  failure  of  L.  Roberts  &  Oa, 
flour  and  grain  merchants  at  No.  17  South-street, 
gidned  limited  circulation  yesterday  afternoon  In 
down-town  business  drdea,  and  created  a  passing 
sensation.  The  reports  concerning  the  embaxraas- 
ment  of  the  house .  were  at  first  .ex- 
aggerated, being  stated  aa  high  as  9600,000. 
Later  information  from  trustworthy  sources  placed 
them  at  $250,000,  but  in  the'  absence  of  members 
of  the  firm  from  their  place  of  bnsiness  it  could  only 
be  learned  positively  that  the  report  of  the  failure 
was  correct,  but  that  the  extent  of  the  liabilities 
had  not  been  ascertained.  Roberts  &  Co.  are  well 
known  and  highly  esteemed  by  the  trade,  having 
been  in  business  upward  of  25  years,  duritu;  which 
they  have  carried  on  an  extensive  trado.  The  pres- 
ent is  not  the  first  business  embarrassment  they 
have  encountered.  Three  years  ago.  just  after 
the  panic  of  1873,  they  were  forced  to  sus- 
pend payments.  In  60  days  thereafter  they  settled 
with  all  their  creditors  in  full,  and  It  is  said  that  at 
the  time  of  the  resumption  they  were  worth  $500,- 
000  or  more  above  liabilities.  The  present  failtire 
of  the  firm  is  said  to  be  caused  by  the.  shrinkage  of 
values  in  stock  and  real  estate  during  three  years 
past,  by  which  the  various  memtiers  have  been  com- 
pelled to  resort  to  a  suspension.  Tliey  have  large 
assets,  which  are  said  to  he  not  immediately  availa- 
ble. The  largo  commission  business  of  the  house,  It 
is  said,  has  been  turned  over  to  Jesse  Hoyt  &  Co. 

ABDUCTING  A  CHILD. 

HOW  ANNIE  COSTELLO  WAS  LOST  AND  RE- 
COVERED—HER CRUEL  TREATMENT  BY 
AN  OLD  WOMAN.    ' 

On  Thursday  night  last  a  decrepit  old  woman 
ov^  GO  years  of  age,  giving  her  name  as  Jane  Mc- 
Langhlin,  and  who  lived  in  a  miserably  dark  and 
filthy  cellar  at  No.  2  Grand-street,  waa  arrested  and 
locked  up  in  the  Prince-Street  Police  Station  for  ill- 
using  and  cruelly  beating  a  little  child  living  with 
her.  It  appears  that  for  some  days  previous 
to  the  arrest  Patrolman  Dugan,  whose  post  Included 
the  house  mentioned,  had  received  numerous  com- 
plaints from  the  tenants  about  the  way  in  which  the 
old'woman  had  abused  the  child.  The  tenants  stated 
that  she  dragged  the  child  through  the  streets  with 
her  during  the  day  and  compelled  her  to  beg  from 
tbe  passers  by,  and  when  the  child  returned  home, 
exhausted  from  fatigue  and  want  of  food,  the  woman 
beat  her  so  brutally  that  the  cries  of  the  unfortunate 
little  one  disturbed  the  entire  neighborhood.  The 
officer  endeavored  to  obtain  the  evidence  of  some 
person  who  had  seen  the  woman  beat  the  child,  but 
conld^  not  succeed  in  doing  so.  On  one  occasion  he 
entered  the  cellar  and  made  a  partial  investigation. 
Mrs.  McLaughlin,  of  course,  denied  that  she  had  ill- 
treated  the  child,  who,  she  said,  was  her  grand- 
child, and  the  little  one,  when  questioned  by  the 
officer,  being  evidentlyin  fear  of  severe  punishment 
if  she  made  any  other  answer,  replied  that  the 
woman  whom  ahe  called  mother  did  not  beat  her, 
but,  on  the  contrary,  waa  ver^  good  to  her.  Despite 
the  denial  of  the  child  the  policeman  was  convinced 
that  the  poor  little  wan  was  being  shamefully 
ill-nsed,  and  he  therefore  Icept  a  watch  on  the 
premtsea  The  complaints  of  the  neighbors 
continued,  and  finally  -the  officer  said  that 
be  would  arrest  the  woman  of  any  of  the  people  in 
the  house  would  make  a  formu  complaint  against 
her.  •  Mr.  Elias  Abrams  volunteered  to  become  the 
complainant,  and  the  woman  wai  accordingly  arrest- 
ed, and,  with  the  chUd,  was  taken  £o  the  stacion-house. 
The  woman  there  said  that  the  child's  name  was 
Maiy  Cassidy,  and  she  was  her  grandmother.  The 
child,  however,  said  that  her  name  was  Annie  Cos- 
tello,  and  she  waa  so  completely  cowed  by  the  treat- 
ment she  had  been  subjected  to  that  she  was  afraid 
to  gainsay  the  atory  told  by  her  tormentor. 

The  body  of  the  child  was  one  mass  of  bruises  and- 
recentlv  healed  wounds.  She  was  terribly  emaciated, 
and  altnoogh  between  5  and  (i  years  old  she. did  not 
weigh  more  than  a  child  of  3  years.  Her  eyes  were 
infiuned  aud  twollen  and  there  was  a  cut, 
as  though  from  a  blow,  under  each.  The  lower 
portion  of  her  face  woR  swollen  and  disfigured  from 
constant  beatings.  The  child  was  given  in  cliarge  of 
Mrs.  Webb,  the  Matron,  and  received  the  kindest 
treatment.  She  was  half  starved,  and  ate  ravenous- 
ly when  food  was  placed  before  her.  Mrs.  Webb 
recognized  the  child  as  having  been  in  hor 
chotge  on  se^-eral  occasons  when  she  was 
picked  up  by  the  Police  for  begging  In  the 
streets.  The  Society  for  the  Prevention  of 
Cruelty  to  Children  were  notified,  and  they  took 
charge  of  the  prosecution  of  the  woman.  She  was 
arraigned  before  Justice  Wandell,  at  the  Jefferson 
Market  Police  Court,  on  Friday,  and  committed  to 
the  Tombs  to  await  trial  in  default  of  $oOO  bail.  ■ 
The  child  was  left  in  charge  of  Mrs.  Webb,  aud  Officer 
Lundberg,  of  the  socioty  referred  to  above,  was 
specially  detailed  to  ascertain  her  previous  history, 
OS  it  was  Nuspectod  that  she  had  been  stolen  from  hor 
parents  by  the  woman  in  whose  possession  she  was 
found. 

Yesterday  James  Costello,  a  tinsmith,  residing  in  a 
shanty  at  Seventy- pecond-street  and  Avenue- A, 
called  at  the  office  of  the  Society  for  the  Prevention 
of  Cruelty  to  Children,  and  informed  Officer  Lund- 
berg that  he  had  read  a  rei>ort  of  the  case  in  the  pa- 
pers, and  from  all  the  circumstances  he  believed  that 
the  girl  was  his  child,  who  had  been  lost  on  the  3d 
inst.  Costello  accompanied  the  officer  to  Polif'e 
Heod-qnarters,  and  on  entering  the  room  where 
Annie,  with  a  number  of  other  children,  was  sitting, 
the  child  sprang  from  her  seat  and  ran  to  him 
crying,  "  Papa,  papa  !"  Costello  atonce  recognized 
her,  and  burst  into  tears.  He  said  that  Annie  was 
plajntig  about  the  rocks  on  the  afternoon  of  the  3d 
ult..  when  she  suddenly  disapjjeared  ,and  although  he 
reported  her  disappearance  to  the  Police,  no  trace  of 
her  waa  obtained  until  yesterday.  ITie  overjoyed 
father  took  his  child  home. 

Mrs.  Webb,  the  Matron  at  Police  Head-quarters. 
said  last  night  that  the  child  was  first  brou^fht  to  tbe 
Central  Office  on  tho  11th  of  .June,  having  been 
found, wandering  in  the  street  by  the  Police.  She 
was  claimed  by  her  father  the  next  day.  and  he  took 
her  home.  She  wai  brouglit  in  again  on  the 
8th  of  July,  tmt  hor  hair  had  been  cut 
()ff  so  that  Tklrs.  "Webb  -"did  not  recognize 
her  at  the  time.  On  tbe  second  occasion 
slie  was  claimed  and  taken  awav  by  Mrs.  McLaugh- 
lin, who  said  she  was  her  grandmother.  The  child 
was  brought  in  again  ou  the  lOth,  I2th.  17tti,  2Sth, 
aud  30th  of  July,  and  each  time  was  taken  away  by 
the  old  woman.  On  one  occasion  the  woman  told 
31rs.  Webb  that  she  was  a  match  peddler,  and  that 
wliile  going  through  Harlem  the  child  had  ae^N>sted 
her  and  asked  her  for  bread.  She  called  an  officer'^ 
attention  to  the  child,  and  the  policeman  suggested 
that  she  should  take  the  child  home  and  core  tor  her, 
and  acting  upon  this  su;;:gestion  she  took  her  home. 

An  additions]  charge  of  abduction  will  now  be 
made  against  Mrs.  McLaughlin  bv  Costello,  and  it  is 
probable  that  the  woman  will  be  as  severely  dealt 
with  aa  ahe  dcser^-es.

A  NOVEL  SCENE  IN  PATERSON. 
HOW  A  POLICEMAN  CAFTUREl)  HIS  PEIBONEB 
— A  LIVELY  CHASE,  IN  WHICH  THE  OP- 
PICER  CAME  OFF  VIOTOBIOUS, 
John  Farrell,  of  PatersoOf  N.  J.,  is  evidently 
a  tongh  character.  About  5  o'clock  Fridav  after- 
noon, being  a  little  drunk,  he  took  his  stand  on  the 
Pine-street  canal  bridga,  and  began  throwing  stones 
at  passera-by.  Two  boys  informed  Offioer  Blimson. 
who  proeeeded  to  put  an  and  to  the  distorbanee. 
WhenFarreU  saw  the  officer  coming  he  started  to 
run,  and  Blimson  pursued  him  five  or  six  blocks, 
when,  thinking  Farrell  would  go  home,  he  gave  up 
the  chase.  Farrell,  instead  of  going  home,  at  onco 
resumed  his  stone-throwing,  and  this  time  the  of- 
ficer resolved  to  take  Farrell  into  custody.  He  pur- 
sued him  about  half  a  mile,  when  the  fugitive,  who 
had  taken  to  the  Morris  and  Essex  Railroad  trade, 
came  to  a  point  i^ere  he  could  no  longer  avoid  cap> 
ture  withoift  jumping  from  a  stone  wall  1-L  feet  high 
to  the  tow-path  of  the  canal.  The  officer  was 
already  felicitating  himself  on  the  capture,  when  Far- 
rell braced  himself  up  and  took  the  leap.  He  struck 
on  his  feet,  fell,  rolled  to  the  water's  edge,  gathered 
hhnself  up  and  was  off  ag^n  at  a  good  swinging  gait. 
Blimson  reached  the  wall  in  time  to  see  Farrell  going 
down  the  tow-path,  but  he  did  not  jump.  He  looked 
about  him  and  seeing  a  telegraph  pole  not  far  away, 
managed  to  reach  it  and  alid  down.  By  this  time 
Fatrell  was  so  far  ahead  that  Blimson  no  longer  had 
any  hope  of  overtaking  him.  when  Blimson 's  father 
and  broth,er,  who  happened  to  be  passing  on  the 
other  side  of  the  canal,  ran  to  the  bridge  below  and 
crossed,  thus  beading  Farrell  off.  Seeing  his  pre- 
dicament, Farrell  at  once  leaped  into  the  canal  and 
struck  boldly  out  for  the  other  side.  Shouting  to 
Blimson  to  prevent  Farrell's  return  to  the  tow-path, 
the  father  and  brother  ran  back  to  the  berme-bank 
and  prevented  him  from  landing  on  that  side.  Far- 
rell, nothing  daunted,  informed  them  that  he  could 
tire  them  out,  and  proceeded  to  divest  himself  of  his 
clothes,  a  feat  that  he  suceessfully  acccompllshed, 
even  to  his  shoes  and  stocking,  which  latter  he  re- 
moved hi  mere  bravado.  This  was  about  6:30,  and 
from  that  time  until  8  Farrell  swam  up  and  down 
the  canal,  his  clothing  in  the  meanwtule  having 
drifted  away.  To  every  call  made  upon  him  to  sur- 
render, Farrell  replied  that  if  Blimson  wanted  him 
he  must  come  into  the  water  and  take  him.  The 
crowd  that  had  been  attracted  by  the  novelty  of  the 
scene  now  shouted  to  Farrell  to  come  out 
and  they  would  help  him.  They  drove  the 
elder  Blimson  and  his  son  away  from  the  canal,  and 
Farrell  swam  to  the  bank  and  was  on  the  point  of 
escaping  when  tbe  officer's  brotiier  broke  through 
the  crowd  and  seized  Farrell,  when  he  was  thrown 
into  the  water  and  Farrell  drawn  out.  There  being 
no  bridge  near  by.  Officer  Blimson  leaped  into  the 
canal  and  sn-am  across.  Seeing  him  laud,  Farrell 
started  in  the  opposite  direction,  when  he  was 
headed  off  by  the  elder  Blimson.  He  s^in  sprang 
into  the  canal,  when  the  officer  leaped  after  him. 
Notwithstanding  he  had  his  clothes  on,  the  offi- 
cer overtook  Farrell  before  he  could  reach 
the  other  bank  and  arrested  him  in  the 
water.  The  crowd  pelted  the  officer  with 
mud,  and  even  used  stones,  but  Blimson  held 
on  to  his  prisoner  and  landed  him.  The  Trrowd  mani- 
fested an  inteution  of  releasing  the  prisoner,  but 
Blimson.  who  knew  most  of  them,  warned  them  that 
if  tney  interfered  any  further-,  he  would  prosecute 
each  and  every  one  of  them  to  the  full  extent  of  the 
law,  which  might  .possibly  result  in  some  of  them 
reaching  the  State  Prison.  Farrell  was  finally  lodged 
in  the  Police  station,  but  not  until  tbe  officer  s  father 
was  struck  on  the  head  with  a  atone  and  severely 
hurt.  Yesterday  the  Recorder  sentenced  Farrell  to 
30  days"  imprisonment  in  the  County  Jail  and  to 
pay  a  tine  of  $10,  his  term  to  continue  until  the  fine 
shall  be  paid. 

TBE  CASE  OF  COLLECTOR  FREELAXD. 

There  are  no  new  developments  in  the  case  of 
Internal  Revenue  Collector  Freeland,  of  the  Brook* 
lyn  District.  He  has  been  furnished  with  an  amend- 
ed copy  of  the  charges  preferred  against  him  nomi- 
nally by  Mr.  X«azarus  Silverman,  and  is  now  engaged 
in  collecting  e\idence  to  refute  them.  He  was  confi- 
dent yesterdav  that  he  could  clearly  show  that  the 
charges  had  either  been  prompted  by  malice  or  were 
the  result  of  gross  misinformation.  He  claims  that 
the  names  which  he  will  attach  to  his  a!Sdavits  as  wit- 
nesses to  their  truth  will  astonish  if  not  confound  his 
accusers,  and  will  be  a  guarantee,  if  no  further  one  is 
demanded,  that  his  office  is  and  has  been  properly 
conducted.  Mr.  Freeland's  affidavits  will  probably 
be  forwarded  to  Internal  Revenue  Commissioner 
Raum,  at  Waxhlngton,  before  the  end  of  next  week. 


PLATTDEUTSVUES    VOLKSFEST. 
GRAND  NATIONAL  CELEBRATION  OP  THE  LOW 

DUTCH  AT  SCHUETZEN  PARE — FOUR  DAYS 

OP  JOLLITY. 
The  annual  festival  of  the  folk  who  claim 
Northern  Germany  as  their  birth-place,  and  proudly 
style  themselves  Plattdeutschcs  Volks,  begins  to-day 
in  the  Schuetzen  Park,  at  Union  Hill,  and  will  con- 
tinue until  next  We4nosday  night.  The  origin  of  this 
festival  now  dafes  back  three  years.  Previous  to  1874 
there  was  a  large  number  of  clubs  of  the  "  Low 
Dutch"  In  New- York  and  its  vicinity,  ea^h  of  which 
held  an  annual  festival;  It  was  then  proposed  to 
have  a  national  festival  after  the  pattern  of  the  cele- 
brations usual  in  the  Fatherland.  The  idea  was 
taken  by  a  number  of  wealthy  Plattsdeutschera.  and 
an  organization  was  formed  for  the  purpose  by  the 
co-operation  of  the  40  societies  in  this  neighborhood. 
As  the  intention  was  simply  to  bring  about  a  grand 
reunion  of  their  compatriots,  the  wealthy  men  gave 
their  services  gratiutously  as  managers  of  the  festi- 
val, and  arrangements  were  so  made  that  every 
dollar  of  money  likely  to  be  derived  from  the  sale  of 
tickets  and  privileges  during  the  celebration  should 
be  expended  for  tho  amusement  of  the  people. 
All  the  festivals  have  since  been  conducted  on  tliis 
plan.  They -have  been  held  in  Schuetzen  Park,  and 
were  the  pleasantest  and  most  interesting  of  the 
many  national  celebrations  aauuallv  held  in  the 
vicinity  of  New- York.  They  attracted  thousands  of 
visitors,  and  at  one  time  the  crowd  pressing  for  ad- 
mission to  the  park  ^vos  so  great  that, 
in  order  to  prevent  the  possibility  of  any 
persons  being  hurt,  the  managers  of  the  "Fest"  had 
the  gates  opened  wide  and  allowed  all  to  enter  with- 
out payment.  Yet  on  that  day  the  sum  of  money 
taken  by  the  collectors  was  so  large  it  had  to  be 
packed  in  barrels  and  rolled  from  tbe  gates  to  the  of- 
fice. At  the  present  time  the  I^sident 
of  the  Verein  is  ex-Alderman  Henry  Clau- 
sen, oz  this  City.  He  and  his  associates 
in  tlie  Executive  Committee  have  arranged 
a  programme  of  amusements  suited  to  every  taste. 
The  festival  will  be  opened  at  1  o'clock  to-ilay  by  a 
grand  sacred  concert.  Deference  having  thus  been 
paid  to  the  day,  a  series  of  innocent  sports 
will  take  place.  Athletes  will  display  th^ 
skil],  and  marksmen  will  begin  to  con- 
tend for  the  honor  of  being  named 
the  Bang  of  the  Festival.  A  shootingmatcn,  in  which 
ladies  will  be  the  contestants,  will  also  be  begun.  In 
the  evening  the  park  will  be  illtiminated  and  a  finb 
display  of  nre-works  given.  On  Monday  a  carnival 
procession  will  take  place  in  wtiich  the  moiit  celebra- 
ted personages  of  the  Old  and  New  Worlds  will 
be  caricattu^  Besides  this,  several  singing  socie- 
ties will  give  concerts ;  there  will  be  exhibitioiu  of 
skill  in  horsemanship  and  the  exercises  of  the  tour^ 
ney.  Tnesday's  most  interesting  event  will  be  the 
celebration  of  a  golden  wedding  in  the  quaint  Low 
Dutch  farm-house  erected  in  the  park.  The  wedding 
procession  will  be  formed  at  No.  165  Bowery,  tn  this 
City.  Upon  reaching  Hoboken  It  will  be  met  by  sev- 
eral of  the  PLattdentscher  Societies  aud  escorted  to 
tlie  park.  A  grand  humorous  display,  whose 
character  Is  not  yet  revealed,  will  take 
place  on  Wednesday,  in  addition  to  a  oonoert,  and 
the  crowning  of  the  King  and  Queen  of  the  festlTal 
The  celebration  will  conclude  with  an  elaborate  dis- 
play of  fire-worki.  The  p^aratlons  for  the  festival

BLiTCHFORD'S  DECISION. 

In  March,  1^75,  the  shio  Niagara,   of  New- 

;irork,  Cupt.  ^acfarlazie,   sailed  from  litverpool  for 

thia  port.  hAviiuc  on  1>oard  1,950  sacks  of  "  Aahton" 

iablo  salt,  shipped  hy  Charles  A.  McDoveD.  to  he 

bold  on  arrival,  and  2,850  saclcs  of  "  Marshall"  tabla 

salt,  consigned  to  the  firm  of  St.  John  8s  Avery. 

^ere  wsa  also  ihipjMd  •n  tiie  same  vassel  99  kega 

of     poTtdered     araenie,      'wliich,     was    stcved     on 

tha^EcA'ji  (lod%  thdkudt  being  stowed  partly  on  that 

•Adi  a«d  partly  below.    During  the  Toyage  a  storm 

u^ose,  and  the  kegs  of  araenio  broke  loose,  and  about 

00  of  them  were  stove  in,  their  contents  becoming 
inixed,  zdotb  or  less,  with,  the  salt,  the  owners  of 
arhich  libeled  the  vessel  to  recover  damages,  on  the 
^ound  that  the  occurrence  was  the  result  of  haproper 
etowa^  and  negliKonce  on  the  part  of  the  Captain  of 
tiie  vessel  The  defense  was  that  the  arsenic  was 
proi>erly  stowed,  and  that  its  breaking  loose  was  the 
cnsvoiJabiu  result  of  tempestuous  %Teather.  The 
wise  was  tried  in  the  United  States  I>iBtiict  Court, 
before  Jutl^o  Blatchford,  who  gave  a  decision  yeeter" 
dftv  in  favor  of  the  libellants. 

Aiter  speaking  of  the  insecure  manner  in  which  the 
arsenic  was  stowed,  and  of  its  harine  broken  looee  a 
cecond  time.  Judge  Blatohford  says  that  on  the  first 
<»ccabion  about  40  broken  kcKS  were  left  loose  about 
nine  days  after  they  broke  away.  Relative  to  the 
salt  becoming:  lmpref:uated  with  the  arsenic,  ho  says : 
"  To  wl:at  extent  any  bag  with  which  the  loose  ar- 
senic came  in  contact  was  impregnated  by  it  could 
r-o:  be  \o\\  with  any  safe  reliance  except  by  analysis.* 
Ico  ?-nit  nrd  the  nrsenlc  were  alike  white  and  undls- 
VrTU-3l*al.ile  to  tjie  eye.  Two  bags  of  the  salt  were 
tinr.Iyzed.  tn  ere  arseuio  was  fotind  to  such  an 
extent  thjic  there  inigbt  have  been  as  much 
r  s  three  and  one-huf  grains  of  arsenic  in 
^.  pound  of  salt,  and  less  than  one  ^rain  .of  araenio 
t.as  been  known  tu  destroy  human  life.  In  the  other 
bfig  anenic  was  found  in  salt  taken  carefully  from 
ilic  '.-futrc  of  tjo  bag  by  digsjing  down."  He  then 
gues  on  to  say  that  the'Captain  and  officers  of  the 
vessel  did  not  inform  the  parties  who  were  to  receive 
iwe  salt  lu  reference  to  the  fact  of  its  being  impreg- 
nated with  arsenic  tmtil  a  good  portion  of  the  cargo 
had  been  discharged,  and  the  clerk  receiving  it  had 
I'OTleed  the  white  powder  on  aome  of  the-bags,  all  of 
which  wore  bein;?  discharged  indiscriminately,  those 
with  the  powuered  arsenic  on  them  being  mixed  up 
with  bas"  apparentlv  clean  and  dumped  into  the 
lighters  together.  The  parties  receiving  the  salt 
tuen  told  ^he  Captain  to  atop  discharging,  and 
ti^k  legal  a^ivice,  £nd  notified  the  purchasers  of 
the  i^Hit  10  prev^t  its  use.  An  analysis 
of  nil  the  salt  would  have  cost  more  than  its  value. 
l*rof .  Dorn-mus  made  an  analysis  of  a  few  bags  Indis- 
rrlniinately  selected,  and  advh>cd  that  all  the  salt 
3ns>it  to  Ije  a^ed  solely  for  purpo^s  where  human 
'iV-  wonM  not  be  endangered.  Vr^rt.  Chandler  on  the 
i>ther  u.^i:d.  ^ve  an  opinion,  from  examinations  of 
7ortifjus  of  ^he  salt,  that  no  harm  could  come  from 
>iv>  use  ot  it  because  no  one  person  would  consume 
•"ic^h  <•:*  U  to  injuriously  affect  him.  All  the  salt 
^as  iixsin  giitnered  tugeth'jr  and  stowed  away  for 
-uore  than  a  year,  and  was  thim  sold  for  manure. 

In  reference  to  the  action  of  Capt.  Macfarlane, 
?uiige  "Blatchford  says.  '"TLen^lect  of  the  master 
^fts  a  grr.p?  ivrone  to  the  owners  of  the  vessel,  the 
ov,der;i  of  tha  salt,  and  the  eutlr©  communitv,  who 
-uii'h*  very  well,  somo  of  them,  have  actually  con- 
sn^r-.i'd  some  of  the  s:ut  and  sonte  of  the  arsenic  with 
...  bat  for  the  prompt  action  of  those  receiving  the 
nait  from  trie  ves-sel."  A  decree  Is  ordered  for  the 
lltieilants,  wi:.h  cost%  and  a  reference  to  ascertain

Xverything  in  the  S4:;nalid  room  was  indicative  of  ex-

RULIGIOy  A  CACSE  OF  CIiI£rAXC£. 
The  reference  in  the  singular  divorce  suit, 
brought  by  ^rs.  Alice  Rowe  against  Edward  J.  Rowe, 
in  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  was  begun  before 
"A'illiam  is.  Keiley.  in  the  Special  Term  room  of  the 
Common  Pleas,  yesterday.  The  plaintiff  is  a  pre- 
possessing young  lady,  who  was  married  to  the  de- 
rindant  in  Waterford,  Ireland,  Oct.  30,  1S69.  Mr. 
*' owe  was  at  the  time  a  Lieutenant  in  the  English 
-vrmy.  In  l*"?!  tbe  parties  came  ~to  this  country, 
«nd  'have  been  living  hwre  since.  Three  children 
-.veiv       bom       to       them.        Mrs,      Rowe      claims 

1  lat  since  lb73  her  husband  has  sub- ' 
;ect«d  her  to  a  continual  course  of  Ul- 
i  fcatscrnt.  She  charges  him  with  having  beaten  her 
i-ad  left  her  without  proper  food,  and  ^rith  having 
prevented  her  from  having  medical  attendance  when 
fr^ie  was  sick.  31r.  Rowe  in  his  answer  denies  these 
chanzes,  and  puts  in  three  aiHdavits  from  sisters  of 
Lis  wife  in  support  of  his  denials.  Ge  says  she  is  a 
toltgious  fanatic  and  is  crazy  on  the  subject  of  Romsn 
ratholieism.  He  also  asserts  that  she  has  been  In- 
f  lenred  to  bring  jier  suit  by  a  priest.  He  says  that 
fc'.ie  ei^^s  for  the  benefit  of  the  Chtirch  all  the  money 
1  e  -ri v(w  lier  for  the  support  of  the  household,  and  that 
Ehe  has  often  expressed  herself  to  the  effect  that  the 
culy  way  in  which  she  can  save  her  soul  is  by  going 
lalo  a  convent.

XS  EAEXEST   CALL   FOR   IMiaGRANTS,    WHICH 
KEMPER  COrXTT  MASSACRES  AXD    STATE 
OFFICIAL  XEGLECT  NECTRAXIZE. 
i  From  the  Tiebtburg  (Uisi.)  JlenUd,  Atig.  17. 

'      In   a   few   weeks  there  will  be  more  labor 
\  needed  In  this  State  than  can  be  procured.    A  vast 
\  crop  of  cotton  and  grain  is  to  be  gathered.    The  cot- 
I  ton  crop  requires  groat  labor  in  the  Fall  and  Winter. 
'  It  is  flriit  to  be  gathered,  then  to  be  prepared  for 
market,  and  then  to  be  trani)x>ort«.-d  to  market.    All 
these  differeut  t»pera  clous  furnish  labor  for  a  largo 
!  number  of  people.    We  have  known  tuxsldlled  laborers 
'  to  earn  as  much  as  $2  or  $2  50  per  day  in  picking 
cotton-    This  labor  is  not  ItnrJ,  and  in  the  pleasant 
Pall  season  women    and   children    earn  aood  wages. 
The  women  frequently  pick  as  much  cotton  as  men. 
:  for    it  does   not   require   strength,    but   skill    and 
patience.    In  other  ways  all  those  who  work  in  cot- 
ton earn  good  wages.    We  often  see  the  common 
laborers  on  our  steamers  earn  as  much  as  $00  to  $75 
,  per  month,  when  there  are  large  amounts  of  cotton 
I   being  shipped. 

I       We  have  recently  published  extracts  from  reliable 
:  Kbrthem  papers  t  hat  stated  that  many  of  the  com- 
mon laborers  of  the  Korth  do  not  receive  enough  to 

•  secure  the  necessariei  of  life.  In  the  mines  of  Penn- 
r  sylvania  the  miners  earn  mere  pittances,  and  live 
I  miserable  lives.  The  common  labr>rers  of  the  South 
'  live  much  better,  and  there  is  no  comparison  in  the 
I  character  of  the  wi)rk.  ~  li  the  miners  and  faetorj- 
i  operatives  of  the  Korth  were  here  engaged  in  the  cul- 
'  ture  of  cotton,  they  would  find  their  lar^e  families  an 
I  aid  instead  of  a  burden  to  them.  The  picking  season 
I  is  the  bn>y  one  in  the  South,  and.  as  we  have  said 
I  above,  the  labor  of  women  and  children  is  almost  as 

•  valuable  as  that  of  the  men. 

I  And  laborers  are  needed  in  the  fields  of  tbe  South 
!  to  an  almost  unlimited  extent.  Tift*  lands  are 
I  cheap  and  fertile,  the  climate  is  mild,'  and  the  gov- 
I  cmment  of  t!ie  .States  Is  excellent-  It  seems  to  us 
:  that  it  would  l>e  mutually  beneficial  to  the  South  and 
'.  to  the  Korth  if  that  section  could  send  us  vast  nnm- 

•  bers  of  emi^^uts.  We  believe  our  Legislature 
'  should  take  steps  to  se«:ure  agreat  addition  to  our 
.  population.  ^\  e  had  a  Commissioner  of  Emigration 
J  during  Radical  misrule,  but  he  was  an  ignorant  negro, 

and  he  amused  himself  by  using  wl^t  money   he 
.  conld     cet    in     bringing     negroes     to    the    State 
\  and    selling    thom    at    so    much    a    head    to  tbe 
planters.    To   set    rid    of    Brl^ifs,    Squiggs,  Priggs, 
:  Graggs.  or  whatever  Ids  name  &,  the  Legislature  cut 
down  his  salary  to  $100.   and   tliat  amount  is  just 
$99  75  more  than  he  ought  to  have  received.     But 
since  we    are  clear  of    him      somo    steps    should  be 
taken  in  this  important  matter.     We    have,  we  be- 
lieve, a  gentleman  who  is  well  qualified  to    perform 
I  the  duties  of  Commissioner,  hot  he  has  no  means  to 
work  with.    We  suggest  that  the  new   Legislature 
appropriate  a  reasonable  amount,  aud  let  us  see  how 
1  much  it  will  cost  to    bring  the    tide   of  immiicration 
toward  this  State.     Texas  in  now    one    of    the   most 
,  powerful  and  wealthy  States  in  the  ITnion,    and    the 
I  ceaseless  flow  of  emigrants  to  the  Stat»lias  caused  it.

WHAT  THE  POLICr  OF  THE  DOMIKIOX  GOV- 
ERNMENT 13 — U  EDIATION  OP  HALF- 
BREEDS,  j 

From  the  lliltcaukee  (Wii.)  Sentind,  Auy.  23. 
From  H  gentleman  who  has  recently  enjoyed 
an  opportunity  to  secure  d'rest  information  on  the 
subject,  we  liave  learned  some  facts  with  reference  to 
the  Md'an  policy  of  Cam^da  that  are  pertinent  to  the 
present  diseussion  of  the  question  of  transplanting 
it  on  our  soil.  This  gentleman  says  that  the  success 
of  the  Dominion  in  dealing  with  its  aborigines  is 
latKcly  due  to  the  mediation  of  half-breeds.  These 
are  a  class  the  like  of  which  do  not  exist  in  this 
country ;  at  least  it  is  too  small  to  exert  any  Infiu- 
ence.  In  Canada,  however,  it  h  a  large  and  impor- 
portant  element  of  the  population.  The  half-breeds 
are  of  two  kinds.  Some  take  after  their  Indian 
mothers,  and  these  generallr  follow  hunting  and 
trapping.  Othen  inherit  more  of  the  disposition  and 
talents  of  their  French  or  Englisli  fathers,  and  these 
nre  an  intelligent  and  ofteu  industrious  and  thrifty 
lot  of  men.  The  latter,  and  indeed  both  clashes, 
have  been  very  useful  to  the  Government  in  con- 
ducting its  operations  with  tbe  Indian  tribes.  The 
Indians  recognize  their  kinship  with  the  half-breeds, 
and  place  confidence  in  them.  So  the  half-breeds 
are  able  on  the  one  hand  to  snow  the  Indians  that 
the  intentions  of  the  Crovemment  toward  them  are 
honest  and  just,  and,  on  the  other  hand,  to  see  that 
whatever  is  appropriated  to  them  in  fact  reaches 
them.  Thus  it  comes  that  the  relations  of  the  Cana- 
dmn  Government  toward  the  Indians  within  the 
borders  of  the  Dominion  have  been  peaceful  and  sat- 
isfactoiT-  But  it  is  said  that  the  authorities  are  now 
-dispensing  with   this   mediation,    and.  as  a  conse- 

?uence,  our  informant  states,  a  great  deal  of  dlesatia- 
action  has  followed  the  last  payment.  It  is  pre- 
dict^ that  if  a  ri.  Eurn  is  not  had  to  the  form^"  sys- 
tem mutual  iterance  and  distrust  between  the 
agents  and  Indians  vill  bring  about  tbe  consequences 
that  the  same  causes  have  brought  about  in  this 
country — ^namely,  rascality  on  the  part  of  the  agents 
and  reprisals  on  the  part  of  the  Indians.

BOOM. 

At  the  Liverpool  Assizes  recenUv  the  case  of 
Branch  against  GaUoway  was  heard  before  Mr.  Jtis- 
tice  Hawkins  and  a  common  jury.  Mr.  TomUnson  ap- 
peared for  the  plaintiff,  who  is  deecribad  as  a  eloek 
jobber-,  and  who  claimed  of  the  defendant,  Henry 
Galloway,  who  is  a  foreman  ata  jeweler's  in  Warring- 
ton, damages  for  slander  and  the  loss  of  a  wadding 
breAkfaat,  a  stilt  of  wedding  clothes,  the  expenses  of 
mazriage  banns,  a  wedding  ring,  and  several  other 
articles.  Mr.  TomUnson  sjdd  tlaat  the  plaintiff,  who 
lived  in  Warrington,  was  about  to  be  married  to  a  lady 
named  Anne  Grigg,  and  he  had  the  baxms  publish^ 
twice  at  that  place.  The  defendant  therenpon  went 
to  the  elergynian  of  tbe  church  and  told  him  that  he 
had  made  inquiries  at  the  Post  Office  at  Winchester, 
and  had  found  that  Branch  was  a  married  man. 
meaning  that  the  plaintiff,  by  representing  himself  to 
bean  uimiarried  man.  had  induced  Aime  Gri^  to 
marry  him,  toereby  committing  a  felony.  The  p.  ;in- 
tiff  stated  that  he  had  lost  his  mairiago  with  tlie  said 
Anne  Grigg,  had  been  put  to  variotis  expenses,  and 
lost  his  employmjBnt,  and  was  for  several  months 
out  of  work.  The  defendant  disputed  In  the  first 
Instance  the  allegations  made  against  him,  and 
then  said  that  he  only  mentioned  a  report  which  was 
generally  current  that  the  plaintiff  w^  married,  to 
Kev.  Mr.  Wilkinson,  the  clergyman  of  the  parish, 
and  that  therefore  he  was  privileged  In  making  the 
report  as  morSlly  binding  upon  him-  When  the  jury 
had  heard  the  circumstances  they  would  be  able  to 
say  if  the  defendant  was  -justified  in  maJmig  suCh  a 
report.  Charles  Branch,  the  plaintiff,  was  a  widower, 
his  wife  having  died  about  lo  years  ago,  and  iihthe- 
diately  before  this  occurrenf^e  worked  at  the  shop  of 
a  Mr.  Wood,  a  jeweler,  in  Warrington.  There  he 
made  the  acquaintance,  through  the  introduction  of 
one  of  his  fellow- workmen,  of  a  Mrs.  Gri«g,  a  widow, 
who  kept  a  house  and  possessed  furniture  and  took 
in  lodgers.  He  was  engaged  to  tlus  lady,  and  the 
engagement  lasted  for  some  naonths,  aud  then 
Branch  took  the  necessary  steps  for  carrving  out  the 
wedding,  and  gave  the  "necessary  notices  to  the 
ofBcials  of  the  church  for  the  ceremony.  The  banns 
were  published  a  first  and  second  time  on  the  14th 
of  January.  He  ordered  a  new  suit  of  clothes,  and 
heboucht'a  wedding  ring  and  the  necessary  para- 
phernfluia  and  a  wedding  dress  for  Mrs.  Gti^. 
The  defeudant  Gallowav,  who  was  employed  In  tma 
same  shop  as  the  pl&Iutiff  as  foreman,  bad  been, 
however,  prying  into  the  secrets  of  Branch,  and 
had  made  certain  inquires,  and  had  seen  letters 
arriving  with  the  Winchester  postmark  for  the 
plaintiff,  and  with  t)iat  curiosity  to  which  human 
nature  was  so  liable,  he  thought  to  himself 
"  Here  Is  a  fine  game ;  here  is  a  chance  for 
scandal."  And  so  he  mtuie  inquiries  from  the  Fost 
Office  authorities  at  Winchester,  and  found  that 
Branch  was  a  married  man — »t>  be  thought.  Besides 
this  information  he  cpt  to  know  that.  Branch  had 
been  Bonding  weekly  Post  Office  orders  to  Winches- 
ter, aud  as  the  reimlt  of  his  inquiries  he  went  to  Mr. 
Wilkinson,  the  elergyman  of  St.  Paul's,  at  Warring- 
ton, and  told  him  that  he  had  discovered  that  Branch 
was  a  married  man.  It  seemed  that  the  plaintiff 
had  some  rime  previously  made  the  acquaintance  of  a 
widow  in  Winchester,  and  had  helped  hex  to  keep 
goiiu;  in  life.  He  took  a  house  at  Winchester,  and 
Te^£>d  there  while  he  lived  at  Winchester  and  al- 
lowed the  woman  10  shilUngs  a  week-  She  took 
In  lodgers,  aud  managed  so  to  support  herself. 
It  might  be  that  living  in  the  same  house  with 
this  woman  he  was  guilty  of  some  Indls- 
cretioELS  with  her,  and  it  might  rationally  be  sun- 
posed  that  they  lived  together  as  man  and  wife. 
So  she  felt  justified  on  one  oecasion  to  si^  herself  in 
a  letter  addressed  to  him,  as  "  your  affectmnate  wife.'' 
This  being  communicated  to  Mr.  Wilkinson,  that  cru- 
tlemau  said  he  uiiist  inquire  into  the  matter,  and  ho 
sent  for  Mrs.  Grigg.  Then  Mr.  Wilkinson  wrote  to 
the  woman  at  Winchester.  An  answer  came  directed 
to  the  pLaluiifT  at  the  shop,  and  thereupon  the  de- 
fendant took  it  upon  hiim^lf  to  open  it.  The  defend- 
ant read  the  contents  to  one  of  the  workmen.  It  had 
tlie  sisnature  *'Vour  affectionate  wife."  ^^Iien  the 
I»laint{ff  went  to  liis  work  the  next  morning  ho  saw 
the  defendant,  who  acou^-ied  him  of  being  a  married 
man,  and  of  being  about  to  enter  into  matrimony 
with  another  woman.  An  altercation  eiutied,  and 
then  the  defendant  in  his  capacity  as  foreman  gave 
the  plaintiff  a  week's  notice  to  quit  his  work. 

Eev.  8.  Wilkinson,  Vicar  of  St.  raur--*.  Warring- 
ton, was  called,  and  dei>osed  to  the  banns  of  the  par- 
ttea  being  publislied  on  the  7th  and  14th  .Tanuarv. 
The  defendant  came  the  week  following  the  14th. 
He  told  witness  his  siuipicions  had  been  aroused  by 
Branch  sending  Post  Office  orders  to  Winchester ; 
he  had  made  inquiries  of  the  Post  Office  authoriUes, 
and  from  ivhat  they  bad  told  him  he  bad  reason  for 
believH^  Branch  wsm  a  married  man  :  in  conse- 
quence of  tliat,  witness  told  defendant  he  would  di> 
uothing  but  what  wa4  above-board,  and  he 
would  see  Mrs.  Grigg :  witness  posted  a 
letter  to  a  lady  at  Ko.  12  Su.««ex-8treet. 
Winchester,  addressing  her  in  the  name  of  Mrs. 
Charles  Branch.  In  it  ho  aske<l  her  if  she  was  the 
wife  of  Mr.  i'harles  Branch,  then  in  the  employ  of 
Mr.  Wood,  of  Warrington,  and  added  that  if  she 
were  she  would  hear  of  KcimethiuK  to  her  advantage.

His  Lordship — Duyou  moan  that  I  Witness— Yea,

I  would  stand  here  if  I  ¥ras  a  nurried  man.  my

His  Lordship — 1  won't  allow  you  to  be  impertinent. 
Just  answer  the  questions.  Witness,  in  further 
cross-examination,  said :  I  always  sent  the  hwly  at 
Winchester  10  shillings  a  week,  and  she  did  call  me 
her  dear  Charley,  and  her  husband,  and  so  forth : 
ithe  had  no  business,  of  course,  to  make  tiae  of  that 
assertion:  [laaghter;]  the  latter  lived  in  Victoria 
Cottage,  Wmchester,  for  a  number  of  years ;  she 
kept  a  lodging-hou^e  for  the  accommodation  of  yotuig 
training  fellows ;  her  place  was  for  the  reception  of 
persons  who  watched  the  studs ;  it  was  only  for 
youngsters. 

Mr.  Kash — ^Tou  don't  call  yourself  a  youngster,  do 
you?  A — ^I should  think  not,  indeed;  '[laughter:]  I 
used  to  enjoy  myself  there  rabbit  shooting  and 
cuuniing,  and  so  forth ;  [laughter.] 

His  iJirdship— Aud  what  aid  your  wife  do  ?  Wit- 
ness—I  did  not  call  her  mv  wife  ;  she  looked  after 
the  invalids,  my  Lord.     [Ijaughter.] 

Mr.  Kash— And  were  you  an  invalid  ?    Witnos 

No  ;  she  never  passed  as  Mrs.  Branch  ;  I  didn't  write 
to  her  as  Mrs.  Branch  ;  she  could  call  me  wliat  ihe 
liked,  you  know ;  1  swear  1  never  addressed  her  as 
Mrs.  Branch  :  1  addressed  her  as  W. 

His  Lordship— ^Vbat   was  that   fort     Witness-^

Branch  t    Witness — I  don't  know. 

His  Lordship— Oh.  you  do.  Witness— Her  first 
husband's  name  was  Dorrity,  of  BlackwaU.  London ; 
he  wa<i  an  engineer ;  and  hht  second  husband  was  a 
gentleman.  ,•■■ 

His  Lordship— And  what  was  the  name  of  the

His  Lordship— Unless  it  was  dear  Charley.  TGreat

Mr.  ^mA,  in  addressing  th#  jtiry  for  tlie  defense, 

S lad  tbe  xdaintiff  an  impudent  old  clock  jobber 
keting  t&a  airs  of  a  country  gentleman,  talking 
about  hu  rabbit  shoot^g  and  coursing  with  an  Im- 
pertizience  which  iU  became  his  years.  Presuinably 
he  thoaeht  it  was  the  province  of  the  country  gentle* 
man  to  keep  a  mistress.  If  the  jury  felt  obliged  to 
give  faizD  their  verdict,  then  let  them  award  him  one 
of  thoaa  coins  960  of  which  went  to  make  up  a 
poimd,  and  which  were  coined  for  no  other  ptirposa 
than  to  give  to  suefa  people  M  this  imder  nke  dir- 
eomstaticae.  And  then,  probably,  if  he  lived  to  the 
VethoseUh  and  obtained  a  similar  verdict  every  year 
in  soch  a  case,  he  would  in  960  years'  time  lay  by 
£  1  as  the  result.    [Laughter.  ] 

His  lAirdship,  in  .jamming  up  the  case,  said  he 
thouidit  the  communieaiion  of  the  defendant  to  Rev. 
lifc.  Wilkinson,  a  privileged  conmrnnication.  If  a 
man  chose  to  jump  at  an  idle  rumor,  and  circulated  it 
malidouslvwtthout  there  being  any  foundation  for 
It,  it  woulA  be  h,  different  thhig.  The  jury  found 
a  verdict  for  the  defeudant. 

His  Lordahip^And  now  gentleman,  if  by  any 
chance  it  should  turn  out  that  by  law  the  communi- 
cation was  not  a  privileged  one,  and  that  I  have

verdict  was  for  the  plaintiff  i 

The  Foreman  of  the  Jury.— One  farthing.  (Lftugh-

Mr.  Kash — ^Z  ask  for  judgment ;  and  as  to  tJie

A  FLYING  POX  AND  A  CLUB  DAKCE^JTHE 
'waves  of  THE   SEA. 

A  correspondent  writes  as  follows  from  Fiji : 
"  It  was*  amusing  in  the  momiug  to  watch  the  country 
people  streaming  into  tbe  town  in  large  and  small 
parties  in  canoes  or  along  the  paths  on  the  banks  of 
the  liver.  They  bad  their  smart  dancing  dresses  tied 
up  in  bundles,  some  with  their  faces  already  painted, 
and  their  hair  done  up  in  tappa  in  the  oddest  way  pos- 
sible. All  the  time  the  'lalis'  (native  wooden 
drunu)  were  tr^^Ving  ^  great  row  in  the  sqttare,  and 
when  all  the  people  were  assembled  we  went  aud  sat 
down  tmdtr  a  canopy  of  matt  which  had  been  put  up 
to  screen  us  ^from  the  son.  First  came  the 
school  children.  They  passed  us  in  tingle  file. 
and  pasidng  inside  the  advancing  file  coiled 
themselves  up  In  the  centre  of  the  square.  Each 
child  as  itpassed  halted  aud  read  a  verse  from  tbe 
Bible.  Then  they  unwound  themselves,  and  came 
up  in  the  tame  fashion  with  their  writing  on  slates. 
Then  came  a  dance  on  the  'meke.'  Thev  retired  a 
little,  di\-ided  into  bands,  and  then  rame  forward  ia 
a  sort  of  dance,  turning  first  to  one  side  and  then  the 
other,  moving  in  the  most  perfect  time,  and  chanting 
as  they  came.  Ail  their  movements  were  grareful. 
and  the  way  In  which  the  tune.  If  one  can  so  vaW  it, 
waa  first  of  all  sung  by  those  In  front,  aud  then 
taken  up,  a  third  lower,  by  tiiose  behind,  was  verj- 
effective.  If  I  have  time  I  wll  ti-auslate  the 
*meke'  for  you.  It  was  'composed  for  tho  o^^*- 
casion.'  When  they  had  come  close  enough,  on 
a  signal  they  all  sot  down  and  bejgan  a 
geography  Jeeson.  The  native  teacher  called  out  the 
name  of  a  cotmtrj-,  as  'Peritanis.'  (Britain.*  aud  on« 
of  the  children.  In  a  low,  minor  key.  beji/in  to  chant 
' Peritania  sa  matanitu '  (Britainlsakingdoin.)  Tiiea 
a  third  higher  some  other  words,  where  Britain  b, 
&c.,  and  then,  with  a  swayiac  inotiou  of  their  bodies 
and  a  rythmical  clapping  of  hands,  sometimes  beat- 
ing the  grounil.  soraetimw;  pointing  on  "ue  side, 
sometimes  on  the  other,  audsolnetime'^  joiniughaiid-i 
overhead,  they  all  joined  In  a  chant  descriptive  of  tho 
extent,  goveriimeut.  &c..  of  tho  British  Empire;  in 
fact,  school  geography  turned  into  a  rather  pretty 
song.  In  this  way  they  went  thi-ough  nearly  all  tho 
countries  in  Europe. 

"Then  came  the  event  of  tho  dny.  tlie  great  State 
'meke.'  Ti>e  first  waa  the  'Flying  Fox  Dantu?.' 
From  the  half  hidden  road*  leadiug  out  of  the  cumera 
of  thesqunrecametwo  bands  of  nu-ii  dressed  in 'liku.s' 
(a  sort  of  kilt*  of  preen  aud  colored  leaves.  These 
were  beautifully  nuide,  the  leaves  lying  very  thi'-k 
one  above  another,  and  reat-hiny  below  their  knevs. 
The  men  were  ver>' fine  specimen!- 01*  humanity;  some 
had  their  faces  bhickened  or  painted  b'iu;k  itud  re*! 
and  their  hi»ads  done  up  In  tne  most  elaborate  way 
with  wliite  tap]»a.  Gariands  of  dowers  and  leaves  huui: 
rotmd  their  necks,  and  they  liad  garters  and  armlets  «.i* 
brlght-efjlored  leaves  on  ibeir  arms  aud  lees.  To  de- 
spr«)«  the  dance  is  far  beyond  my  power.  There  nmst 
have  been  over  2*M>  mvii  rmd  alwmt  00  eluldren 
taking  ^isrt  in  it.  The  two  parties  approached  each 
otlier  in  the  usual  'meke'  form.' an  odd  mixture  6f 
march  and  dance,  and  after  various  evolutions  every 
man  threw  awsy  the  huge  palm-lenf  fan  which  he 
carrietl  in  hi*  Izamt  Tbi.>  whs  thu  eiid  of  the  fir*t 
act.  In  the  next  part  the  fiyijig  foxes  proceeded  to 
rob  a  banana  tree.  A  polu  was  set  up  in  the  middle 
of  the  square,  and  on  tlie  top  of  it  a  b.-in!i:Hi  pluiit. 
with  a  bunch  of  artiticial  fruit  made  uf  hu.'^ked 
cocoaunts  full  of  oil.  T.'ie  two  liand*  advanc**d.  and 
seemed  to  eoni«ult.  and  then  mcsscnijiri  wcro  sent 
out  from  eitiier  party,  to  see.  I  suupoBe.  tliat  ail 
was  Kife.  They  went  "tiyiug  round  the  square  with 
tlieir  anas  ttretcjieil  out,  making  a  noise  like  u 
flying  fo.t.  With  n  great  deal  of  dauciujr  the 
main  lH>dy  approached  tiie  tvi^e.  aud  one  of 
them  climbed  up.  wJiile  the  little  rt>ing  foxes  circled 
round,  and  ilnally  clustered  nude**  tho  tn-e.  crjin.; 
with  deliirht  at  the  sight  of  tbe  frtii;.  The  fox  bi  the 
trpc  hung  i»y  his  Itifs  cud  fiappfd  his  arms,  when 
another  clunbed  after  "him,  and  they  bit  aud  scmtohed 
and  jMiuoUed  just  as  big  bats  do.  and  the  lirst  comer 
wa*  turned  ont.  The  wliole  danct;  lastud  about  b:»!f 
an  hour.  Mid  betwe^-n  each  tlicure  there  was  «  »li*ihi 
pause.  Tiie  tiuie  was  w^undert'uj — every  swish  of 
their  likus  was  in  unb-ou.  and  they  were  most  clever 
iu  adapting  them.'Nelves  to  any  iiieiiujility  in  th-* 
gronud.  There  wns  a  musical  acconi]iaai;neut  oi" 
native  drums  aud  hollow  baiut>oos,  played  by  about 
20  gailv-dressed  old  centlcmeu. 

■•Kcxtcame  a  club  dan'-e.  Tlio  square  was  sur- 
rounded—except on  one  side,  where  stood  the  great 
cluir^'h — as  I  ought  before  to  have  meutioiipi  by 
plantations  of  bananas  and  bread-fruit;  so  that  one 
taw  nothing  of  the  preparations  and  formation,  but 
iHfard  the  chant  of  the  dancers  before  they  came 
iu  from  the  differeut  paths.  From  either  Ride  ad- 
vanced a  party,  each  about  wO  strong,  marching  throe 
abreast,  armetl  with  sliort  spears  made  of  bamboo, 
cut  into  fautastic  shapes  at  the  end,  or  with  the 
shafts  painted  or  covered  with  a  matting  of 
reeds.  As  the  two  j»arties  approached  each 
other— very,  very  slowly — they  chanted,  and 
swung  their  bodies  from  side  to  side,  thrust- 
ing aud  parr>-ing  with  their  spears.  which 
were  held  ovefli^ud :  every  baud  and  everj-  fool 
moving  exactly  together.  AVlien  about  1*J  yards 
from  each  other  each  body  wheeled  away  from  us. 
and  we  Kaw  advancing  between  them  from  some  dis- 
tano.e  another  bodv  of  men,  of  about  tiio  same 
strength  as  both  the  others,  but  12  abreast  and 
armed  with  cluiis.  This  •meke.'  in  which  over  300 
men  were  dancing,  wa?;  wild  aud  picturesque,  and  the 
men  fine,  wellmade  fellows,  .is  they  were  idl  chiefs 
or  meu  of  high  birth.  TIu;  dresses  in  this  dance  were 
even  more  brilliant  than  In  the  lo^jt.  Each  man  had  a 
likuuf  strips  of  pundanusleaf.  dyed  black,  yellow,  and 
red  iu  strips.  Tiieir  bodies  and  faces  were  elabomte- 
ly  painted  black  and  red.  and  their  heads  were 
done  up  iu  folds  of  very  fine  tappa.  wliite  or  brown, 
or  in  some  cajies  (what  I  had  never  seen  before)  of  a 
bright  blue.  Thev  had  J^oslit-s-  of  white  tuppa.  in 
thick  folds,  terminating  sometimes  in  streamers,  and 
sometimes  in  a  long  train,  not  allowed  to  touch  the 
ground,  but  looped  up  agsin  into  the  sash,  something 
like  the  things  ladies  used  to  wear  a  little  while  oko. 
Each  msu  of  the  front  rank  of  the  larger  body  had  a 
splendid  largo  breast-plate  of  ivorv  aud  pearl-shell. 
Many  had  a  hirge  boar's  tooth  hung  round  their 
neck*^ — rather  an  effective  omaineut — and  armlets, 
garters,  aud  bracelets  of  shells,  ivory,  or  black  water- 
wetid.  according  to  his  fancy. 

"  The  next  dance  waa  the  most  graceful  of  all.  It 
is  called  •  The  Waves  of  the  Sea.'  and  represented 
the  sea  coming  up  on  the  reef.  Tiie  dresses  of  the 
men  were  much  the  same  as  in  the  Isj^t,  but  tber« 
were  also  a  number  of  childreu  in  bright  likus.  and 
T*ith  garlands  of  leaves  ami  floweis.  First  of  all, 
they  formed  into  a  long  line ;  then,  breakinc  the  line, 
danced  forward.  10  or  1*2  at  a  time,  for  a  few  steps, 
bending  down  their  bodies  and  spreading  out  their 
Iiands.  as  the  little  shoots  of  a  wave  run 
up  on  the  Ijeaf-h.  Then  wave  after  wave  rolled  in. 
and  then  at  the  end  of  tlio  Iouk  line  ran  round. 
lirst  a  fow  at  a  time.,  some  falling  back  again  ;  then 
more  and  more,  as  the  tide  runs  un  on  the  shore-sido 
of  l^e  reef,  aud  uothing  but  a  smnll  i^^land  of  coral  Is 
left.  The  band  kept  up  a  sound  like  the  roar  of  the 
surf ;  and  as  the  tide.**  rose  and  the  waves  began  to 
meet  and  battle  over  the  little  Island,  the  dancers 
threw  their  arms  over  their  heads  as  they  met.  and 
their  white  tappa-covered  heads  shookas  they  bound- 
ed Into,  the  air.  like  the  spray  of  the  breakmgsurf. 
The  people  sitting  round  screamed  with  delight.  The 
idea  oi  the  dance  could  not  have  been  more  artis- 
tically carried  out."

tradition certainly  constitute  'a  strong  bar*  (as  it 
wotild  formerly  have  been  called)  in  favor  of  the 
English'  views  upon  that  important  subject.  As 
American  fugitives  are  nearer  to  Canada,  when  on 
this  side  of  the  water,  than  to  Eurflpe.  tlus  country 
la  naturally  and  necessarily  much  interested  in  the 
future  proceedings  of  the  conmiission.  So  far  as 
white  men  are  concerned,  tho  laws  of  the  two  conn- 
tries  are  so  much  alike  that  it  would  be  difficult  to 
make  the  treaty  too  wide.  All  that  should  be  neces- 
sary in  an  extradition  case  between  England  and 
America  should  be  to  show  that  the  offense  was  an 
iudlctable  erime  at  the  law  of  both  countries:  that 
there  was  evidence  admissibie.^^  in  the 
courts  of  both  to  show  that  tlts^^  ingre- 
dients of  such  an  indictable  offense  had 
been  alleged  on  oath,  and  that  the  matter  was  purely 
nou-polItTcftl  on  the  face  of  the  charv;e.  and  according 
to  au  abstract  of  facts  which  shoiud  be  exacted  In 
BUpnort  of  it.  And  the  partv  demanded  failing  to  re- 
but these  inferences,  or  to  create  doubt  of  his  identity, 
should  be  dellvewl  up.  Each  Government  should 
determine  for  itself  tmder  what  circumstances  it 
would  demand  extradition  or  give  leave  to  one  of  its 
subjects  ao  tp  do.  Fraudulent  debtors  might  well  be 
included  in  a  demand  for  rendition,  provided  they 
had  incurrred  civU  imprisonment,  even  if  not  gtiilry 
ofau  indictable  offense,  tireot  caiy,  however,  will

THE  HOUSEKOID. 

• 

^VLt   SUPPLIES  nf  TRE  MARKETS. 

I'argc  quantities  of  peaches  have  been  in  the 
market  during  the  past  week.  They  were  of  fine 
iq>poarance  and  '  flavor,  and  their  prices  were 
.  aibremely  reasonable.  Peara  also  appeared  in 
laxge  nombora,  but  most  of  them  were 
not  inviting,  either  in  loolc  or  price.  The 
Bartlotts  ware  good,  but  were  high  in  price.  Plains 
were  plentiful,  and  were  sold  reasonably.  The 
grapes  that  have  arrived  up  to  the  present  time  are 
scarcely  worth  speaking  of.  Some  are  sold  quite  low, 
notwithstanding  their  scarcity,  but  their  appearance 
is  unattractive.  Tl^e  ordinary  vegetables  are  in  mar- 
ket in  lAi^e  quantities,  and  are  cheap.  Their  prices 
have,  however,  varied  but  little  since  last 
week.  A  large  sf  ock  of  meat  is  on  hand.  Its  quality 
Is  good  and  prices  are  low.  Butter,  cheese,  ejxs,  and 
other  varieties  of  ceneral  produce  are  plentiful  with 
pnces  varying  but  little  from  those  of  last  week.

Ihen  take  the  meat  and  bone  from  the  water,  chop 
the  moat  and  season  with  salt,  adding  pepper,  if  you 
rhoose,  and  while  hot  put  into  a  di*ih  or  pan  ;  pour  a 
little  of  the  liquid  in  which  it  was  boiled  over  it,  and 
then  place  a  weight  upon  it  and  set  aside  to  cool : 
when  ready  for  use  turn  it  out  upon  a  platter  and  it 
wiH  make  a  most  inviting  and  palatable  ttisb  of  meat. 
Havinfir  prepared  the  meat,  take  the  liquid  and  set  it 
Bsidein  a  dish  to  cool :  then,  after  taking  off  any  fat

EXPORTATIOX  OF  DEAD  CBiyAMEX. 


OBJECTS  OP  THE  MANSION  OP  DIVINE  BLISS 
BONE  COMPANY  OP  GOLDEN  MOUNTAIN — 
ITS  DEVICES  TO  PREVENT  FRAUDS. 
from  the  San  Francisco  Chronicle,  Aug,  17. 
English-speaking  people  have  the  short  and 
repulsive  name  of  ghoul  for  the  man  tliat  disinters 
the  hones  of  the  dead.  The  superiority  of  the  Chi- 
nese civilization,  which  has.  according  to  lilwral- 
minded  Eastern  chronologist.s  braved  for  several 
million  years  the  battle  and  the  breeze,  is  nowhere 
more  apparent  than  in  the  gorgeous  appellation  it 
confers  upon  an  association  for  uuburying  dead  Chi- 
nese. The  full  corporate  name  is  "  The  Mansion  of 
Divine  Bliss  Bone  Company  of  Golden  Mqpntain." 
Golden  Monntain  is  the  literal  translattoa  of  the 
bristling  Chinese  character  that  represents  Califor- 
nia, Oregon,  Nevada,  and  such  of  the  adjacent  Ter- 
ritories as  have  been^afllieted  with  the  Oriental 
parnsites.  San  Frauei:!^  ia  the  Great  Metropolis, 
Hbrtland  is  the  second  city,  Virginia  City  is 
■ipilver  Slountaln,  the  snow  sheds  and  tunnels  are 
the  great  dragon's  cave*,  and  Helena,^  Montana, 
is  the  1,200-mUe  post.  The  society  was  organized 
in  the  great  metropolis  in  1S5^,  commenced  opera- 
tion^id  l.*<60.  but  in  the  unlucky  yearofl8G2,  or 
Jen  Shu  Fli,  the  exchequer  of  Divine  Bliss  "  busted," 
and  it  lias  only  now  been  reorganized.  Its  com- 
mendable object  is  to  transport  "  the  dead  who  sigh 
for  their  native  villages  far  away  to  the  said  vil- 
lages." In  the  richness  of  Eastern  imagery  the 
thing  is  much  more  fully  expressed  as  the  "assort- 
ing of  the  bones  wiiieh  constitute  the  race  of  pre- 
friends — the  suhstanve  that  their  sons  and  grandsons 
shall  worship  for  a  myriad  of  years."  Tho  preamble 
to  the  constitution  and  by-laws  of  the  Di\ine  Bfiss 
firm  sadly  but  sweetly  recite  that  by  fire  the  grave- 
boards  of  their  ■■  Mission"  Cemetery  were  destroyed. 
'■  Besides,  tho  barbnriuns,  oonstmcting  an  embank- 
ment for  a  reservoir,  mutilate<i  the  graves,  and  the 
skeletons  being  revealed  to  the  clouds,  jy»r- 
ishinl,  oh.  so  many."  The  lalu-ls  having  been 
burned,  or  the  wrung  lalK-U  having  got  scattered 
aroand  over  tJie  wroni:  bones,  it  lieats  even  the  pre- 
Bcienfe^if  KahMiuK.  thepomi»any"(>managt^r  of  as.sort- 
ing  and  transportation,  to  telf  wliosi»  bones  are  whose, 
and  undMibtedly  many  boirus  anatomies  will  come  In 
for  a  "rax-riail  of  yeani '  of  uimpcessary  grief.  "The 
consternation  over  tiiis  contretemps  Is  thus  ex- 
pressed :  •■  The  corpse  r'^Utive<«  saw.  then  were  tears 
shed:  the  iiatriot  neighbors  h-.-ard,  then  were  hearts 
gasheil:  never  yet  were  su'*h  excruciatinjr  thoughts 
in  every  lo-.vn  and  *»very  villag-:*.  ' 

To  mmblo  precipitately  from  .Sanskrit  into  .Saxon, 
the  Divine  Bliss  men,  in  order  to  rau*e  tho  wind  for 
raising  the  tiead,  issue  ■'  i»ase  warrants  "  of  $S  each, 
and  ■  autiiorize  a  deputy  to  enter  the  country  and 
supplicate  purehn.'iers.'  The  "cori'se  relatives  '  and 
the  '■  earthworker"  are  to  settle  between  them- 
s-.elves  the  price  of  properly  transplnntins  anv  par- 
ticular set  of  bones,  and.  to  climb  iiack  to  Cefestial 
mer.iphor  and  metaphysics,  ■•  when  the  friends  g<Mie 
before  have  been  remrued  to  the  Orient  and  peace- 
faily  buried  in  their  native  soil,  then  can  we  fare  the 
an-'estors  aliove  or  the  j>:itriot  neighhoi^  beloiv,  in 
not  giving  offense  to  th"se  or  these,  but  hoarding  up 
rigliieousness  with  an  oritrinal  beart." 

The  Mansit.u  of  Divine  Bli.ss  has  adoj>ted  17  by-laws. 
The  first  enacts  tliat  the  "  Instrtictions  Assumed 
Karthworker. "  or  the  man  wiio  has  taken  the  con- 
tra'-t.  shall  wipe  the  i>ones  clean  with  cluth.  sun  them 
till  dry.  sew  them  in  a  compact  bundle  in  drilling 
with  thread,  indorse  on  the  parcel.  "The  district  sub- 
ject to.  the  native  village,  the  patronjTnic,  and  the 
prenomen  ;"  put  each  "-^i  in  a  separate  compartment 
of  an  inch-hoard  box  securely  nailed,  and  the  box  la- 
beled with  the  yiartieulars  of  each  set.  "thus  effect- 
ing no  chnos  or  perplexity."  'As  to  the  expense  of 
the  h re  junk  and  lire  chariot."  lieing  the  p*>etifal 
names  respectively  of  the  river  "kickup"'  and  the 
locomotive  which  transports  "the  frame- works  of 
the  souls  of  the  triends  gone  iMjfore  to 
the  Great  Metropolis."  that  is  to  be  set- 
tled between  the  Instruction.^  .Assumed  Eanh- 
worker  and  the  Lord  of  the  Inner  Ri>ora  of  the  Ex 
tensive  Peace  in  the  company  hall,  where  thp  matter 
of  the  "fares  and  freiirhts '■  of  the  bony  remnants  is 
to  be  first  adjusted.  The  second  by-law  hos  a  weath- 
er-eye  out  for  a  possible  deputy  of  amint-superinlend- 
enry  turn  of  mind,  and  provides  :  "But  if  the  deputy 
receive  much  money,  and  report  hut  fe^  base  war- 
rants sold,  it  is  not  rulable.  This  Mansion  will  con- 
sider the  sureties  re.sponsible."  As  every  investiga- 
tion into  every  Caucasian  villainy  successively  estab- 
lisll^  that  the  books  of  p'.iblic  oScers  are  kept  scien- 
tifically and  methodically  muddled,  the  concluding 
command  of  by-law  5  of  tho  Blissful  Bone  Bag- 
gers may  be  tiraently  commended  to  all  corporation 
aecountants.  After  enactim:  in  what  way  the 
record  of  base  warrants  iFsue<l  shall  l>e  kept,  it  says 
to  the  "Scribe"  :  "  Ve^.  let  him  seize  the  peninstant- 
er  and  record  it  clearly,  fi^et  him  not  lead  the  ac- 
counts into  chaos.  '  By-law  r».  as  a  specially 
lofty  philological  flight,  i.s  worthy  of  uneliminated 
quotation.    It  reads : 

■'  It  ia  agreeft  fioM  Mountain  being  a  region  broad  and 
Wlif-,  that  ^vith'lnt  fi-scissitig  ea^t.  west,  north,  or 
EOi;'.n.  for  hi«  Ksrherinc  np  an  d"  assort  in  e  of  friend'*  eoue

ambiUate  it.  eatherin^  find  a.<!<orring;  but  should  he  pass 
outside  the  limit,  thai,  is;,  to  dependencies  of  other  St«t*»s. 
then  this  Man-Jion  mast  discriminate  between  far  and 
ne:.r  and  reniuuerute  his  exoenditiu^.' 

After  such  a  so.'iring  sky-scraper  as  the  preceding. 
what  more  radical  and  felicitous  change  eould  be  made 
even  in  American  slang  than  its  t*hort,  concluding 
sentence.  "Thus  shall  it  become  even  atid  level?  ' 
Xor  is  the  langnjiire  confined  to  the  expression  only 
of  lofty  sentiment  or  pithy  mercantile  max'ma,  but 
ir  is  also  a  signal  success  as  the  exponent  of  a 
sprightly  conception  of  the  Mongolian  imagination, 
as  witness  this  curly  tail  of  by-law  7,  provid- 
ing for  the  "supplication"  oi  purchasers  of  base  war- 
rants : 

"  Ton  dollars  i^  the  criterion  for  tho  minimom  sub- 
BCTi^ti'Ja  of  ea  -h  iu'Uvldtial ;  how-^v^r.  ona  should  con- 
fer from  bis  opulenc-  somewhixt  more,  coming  up  with  a 
hop.  skip,  and  lump  to  adu  hi<   contribution.    like  it 

fileasedhlm  weUtoas-sistthe  cillectinc  of  ready  money 
n  oftler  to  complete  the  general  expense  fund.  A  beau- 
tiful affair  should  be  complete. " 

By-law  R  returns  to  .sober  btisiness.  and  the 
admirable  capacity  of  the  Chinamau  for  "haggling" 
will  no  longer  be  wondered  at  When  it  is  known  that 
the  knowleilge  is  imparted  by  revelation  from  the 
Mansion  of  Divine  Bliss  in  words  and  figures  as  fol- 
lows, to  wit:  "The  sgent  moreover  otignt.  with  his 
whole  heart  and  strength,  to  cleverly  use  specious 
phrH?eol(^  with  the  barbarians,  talking  with  them 
until  arriving  at  the  extremity  of  the  bottom  price. 
Thus  shall  it  become  a  benefit  to  our  i>eople-" 

By-law  9  provides  for  a  specially  dihgent  search 
for  the  queues  of  deceased,  without  the  home  burial 
of  which  the  ghosts  will  not  be  appeased.  'By-laws 
11  and  12  contain  some  sentences  of  such  tnuy  su- 
perior turgidity  that  if  the  nnlnckv  Jujomy  Macpher- 
6on.  instead  of  tramping  through  tne  Scottish  High- 
lands at  the  risk  of  catching  the  national  Irritation 
and  issuing  fraudulent  translatiotis  of  Impossiblu 
Gaelic,  had  only  done  the  by-laws  of  a  Chinese  cor- 
poration into  literal  English,  even  the  mflSanly  Dr. 
Johnson  wotild  have  hesitated  before  he  denounced 
Ossian  as  a  cltimsy  forgery  : 

*'Now,  Gold  Mountain  region  Is  broad— ;l»  faraway; 
the  graves  in  it  of  pre-friends  are  in  by-places — are  in 
places  distant.     There    Js  no    man  to  lead  us  to  those 

§lacei«.  Pre-friends'  tombs  may  be  far  away — may  be  In 
esolate  places  where  men's  tracks  are  very  rare.  Then 
a  patriot  might  or  ought  to  nut  forth  his  own  body  as  a 
giiide  to  tho  earthwork,  or  that  he  go  eihtim©  and  export 
fcuchremaina  Even  thoughlthinderhlsowniuaignlflcsnt 
labors.'  he  is  hoarding  up  virtue,  ho  ia  doing  righteous- 
ness. Certainly,  when  one  sees  a  thing  to  t>e  righteous 
he  should  twld  ly  perfurm  it." 

By-law  14  Is  fall  of  the  following  geographical  in  ■ 
formation  : 

"It  Is  agreed  that  due  eart  from  Silver  Mountain. 
_rginiaCity,]  entering  the  Great  uragou's  Csvts  [the 
tunnelsj  and  going  as  far  as  the  TwQjve-hundred-mile 
po.Ht,  CHclena,  Montana,]  aboil  be  the  umtfa^  Due  south 
from  Stockton.  journe>i.ug  the  extent  of  thFSKi  Joaquin, 
shidl  be  the  Umit.  Due  west  from  Humboldt.^ conform- ' 
ing  to  the  direct  road  tiU  entering  in  the  dlstence  the 
great  ocean's  shore,  shall  be  the  limit.  Due  north  from 
OrorUle  to  Bpanishtown  in  the  Snow  3f  oantaina  shall  be 
the  limit" 

Besides  the  samples  of  the  metaphorical,  the  btul- 
nesfl,  and  the  sprightlv  styles  the  Chinese  language 
will  permit  of,  it  is  also  tersely  sanguinary,  as  the 
conclusion  of  by-law  16  evinces:  "If  one  being, 
full  cf  envy  and  relj-ing  on  fort^,  should  mount  this- 
device  for  snatching  in  gains,  this  Mansion  wiU^attend 
to  him."  The  frontiersman's  '"rU  fix  him!"  when 
he  takes  the  war-path  against  a  fellow  desperado,  ia 
not  half  so  terrible  as  tms  brief  suggestion  of  a  pow- 
erful Chinese  company.  It  means  tfiat  they  will  at- 
tend to  him  witb  hatchets  and  bayonets,  knives  and 
xevolveri :  that  no  place  can  conceal  him  ;  the  sen- 
sible    Chinaman    .wUL     therefore,    carefully    avotd

recting hi.-*  command  to  complete  its  rifle  practice  for 
the  .season.  as*follows:  Final  practice  in  tho  third 
class  at  lUO  and  150  yards  for  all  who  still  remain 
in  that  class,  as  follows:  Tomorrow,  Gatling  Bat- 
tery and  Separate  Troop  Cavalry ;  F:  iday.  Sept.  7. 
Thirtv-second  Regiment.  Practice  In  the -second  class 
at  300  and  400  yards,  and  for  Marksman's  badges,  at 
200  and  .'500  yards  b^  those  who  have  qualified  in  the 
third  class  but  have  lailod  to  become  first-class  shots 
will  be  conducted  as  follows:  On  Thursday,  Sept.  20, 
Twenty-third.  Forty-seventh,  and  Thirty-second  Regi- 
ments ;  on  Friday,  Sept.  21.  Gatling  Battery  and 
S«'parat6  Troop  Cavali^.  The  commanding  officer 
of  the  Twenty -third  Regiment  is  directed  in  orders  to 
detail  25  men  to  act  as  scorers  on  Sept.  7  in  the 
place  of  those  previously  ordered  for  to-morrow. 

Company  A.  Forty-eighth  Regiment,  Oswego, 
Das  entered  for  tho  third  competition  for  tho  "'Ne- 
vada" badge,  and  ha.s  notified  Col.  G-  W.  Wingate. 
tlie  General  Inspector  of  Rifle  Practice,  that  it  will 
shoot  for  it  on  Thursday,  Sept.  6,  at  Oswego.  This 
is  the  first  entry  that  has  been  made  by  any  company 
for  this  badge.  In  selecting  so  early  a  day  for  prac- 
tfce,  when  the  present  fine  weather  may  I>e  expected 
to  continue,  and  before  the  "equinoctial"  storm 
causes  a  change  in  elevations  and  wind,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Forty-eighth  have  shown  their 
good  sense.  The  practice*  hitherto  has  been 
for  companies  competing  to  put  off  the  match  until 
the  last  of  October,  when  the  cold  weather  and  wind 
prevent  anything  like  decent  scores  being  made  and 
Keep  many  good  shots  from  competing;  All  com- 
panies entering  for  this  match  are  entitled  to  witness 
each  other  whejL^hootlng.  Those  who  wish  to  be 
represented  at  the  competition  at  Oswego  should 
therefore  enter  at  once. 

The  new  regulations  governing  the  conduct 
of  matches  at  Creedmoor  have  been  altered  in  some 
important  particulars.  Article  1  of  Rule  1  desig- 
nates the  person  who  may  have  charge  of  contests 
at  the  weekly  meetings  as  follows  :  "All  other  asso- 
ciation competitions,  (except  the  Spring  and  Fall 
meetings, )  will  be  condnctod  by  an  officer  or  director 
of  the  association,  or  other  competent  person  desig- 
nated by  the  senior  officer  or  director  •  on  the  range 
at  the  hotir  of  shooting,  utte&s  previously  designated. 
In  the  absence  of  officers  or  directors  the  Assistant 
Secretary-  or  Superintendent  of  the  Range  shall  act 
as  or  designate  an  executive  officer."  Article  2. 
"The executive  officer  shall  havo  control  of  the  range 
for  the  conduct  of  matclies."  Article  3.  "These 
regulations  and  such  directions  as  the  executive 
officer  may  give  must  be  rigidly  complied  with  by 
competitors  and  all  other  persons  npon  the  range 
grotmds."  This  prevents  the  repetition  of  mistmder- 
standinga  such  as  occurred  in  the  final  competition 
for  the  JStpirit  of  the  TiwsM  Itadsre,  when  the  score  of 
Col.  Santord  was  protested  by  Mr.  R.  H.  Keene  be- 
cause the  latter  shot  after  the  match  had  terminated. 

JIajor  John  H.  Horsfall,  of  the  Twenty-sec- 
ond Regiment,  and  Lieut  Orrin  S.  Bogert,  of  the 
same  command,  being  a  majority  of  the  committee 
appointed  by  the  Board  of  Officers  of  that  command 
to  decide  all  questions  that  might  arise  in  the  rifle 
contest  for  the  champion  regimental  badge  at  Creed- 
moor, have  decided  that  Private  Lewis  H.  Greve,  of 
Company  I,  has  fairly  won  the  trophy  in 
three  .contests.  Col.  Porter  has  issued  orders 
directing  the  several  companies  of  this  command 
to  go  to  Creedmoor  for  rifle  practiee^in  the 
third  class  as  follows  t  Companies  D,  K,  A,  P^and  I 
on  Thursday,  the  30th  Inst.;  Companies  H,  E.^,  O, 
and  G  on  Monday,  Sept.  17.  The  order  concludes  as 
follows  :  "  The  Commander-ln- Chief,  In  ordering  the 
dismissal  of  the  troops  of  the  First  Division  on  the 
evening  of  July  27,  direeted  that  his  commendation 
of  the  promptitTLdo  and  alacrity  witb  which  they 
responded  to  the  call  to  duty,  %m  wbU  a«  thrir  exeel- 
leiu  behavior  ifhiio  undex  anas,  aluvld  be  eonuna- 


nicated  to  them.  In  transmitting  the  commendation 
of  the  Commander-ln -Chief,  the  Major-General 
commandhig  the  First  Division  contributes 
his  testimony  to  the  readiness,  obedience, 
and  patient  endiirance  shown  by  the  officers 
and  men  of  his  command,  and  adds  that 
the  fact  that  a  resort  to  the  weapons  with  which  the 
troops  are  armed  <lid  not  become  necessary  is  in 
itsrff  an  acknowledgment  of  tjie  well-earned  reputa- 
tion for  efficiency  of  the  National  Guard.  The  C^^lonel 
commanding  takes  this  opportunity  to  add  the 
expression  of  bis  eommendntion  to  that  of  tlie  Com- 
mander-in-Chief and  the  Major-Genonil  commanding, 
so  far  as  it  applies  to  this  retriment,  among 
others,  and  congratulates  the  officers  and  men 
of  his  command  on  the  soldierly  manner  in  which 
they  performed  the  dut}-  required  of  them  and  sus- 
tained the  established  reputation  of  the  regiment  on 
that  momentous  occasion."'  The  following  officers 
have  been  commissioned  :  Capt-  Joseph  G-  West, 
Fir^t  Lieuts.  Henrv  A.  Cuppia  and  Philip  H.  Parlev, 
and  Second  Lieut.  ^Viliiam  King  Phillips.  Private 
Frank  M.  Hardenhrook,  of  Company  F.,  has  been  dLs- 
honornbly  dismissed  from  the  regiment  for  non-pay- 
ment of  dues  and  fines   and  dereliction  of  duty. 

AN  EFFECTIVE  MILITIA. 
THE  REQUISITES  TO   FORM    IT — THE    EDUCA- 
TION   OP     THE     OFFICERS — TIIE     IMPOR- 
TANCE OP  MARKqittANSniP. 
7b  tht  Kditor  of  the  Xew-  York  Times  : 

An  oflScer  high  in  command  during  the  late 
war  said  to  some  unsuccessful  troops,  "  I  know  it  is 
not  your  fault,  my  men ;  it  all  comes  of  your  miser- 
able officer."  From  this  text,  than  which  nothing 
can  be  more  generally  true  of  all  unsuccessful  troops, 
wo  may  infer  what  is  the  true  means  of  forming  an 
effective  Militia.  Give  any  number  of  raw  recmifc?, 
being  such  men  as  our  iUlitia  comes  from,  and  put 
them  under  first-rate  officers,  say  averaging  three 
officers  to  each  100  men,  grant  two  wi'oks"  time  for 
these  ofScers  to  select  and  in  some  measure  form 
their  non.commis.sionod  officers,  and  yon  havo  at 
once  a  command  capable  of  executing  any  pur[)Oses 
for  which  Militia  are  likely  to  bo  required.  AVero  tho 
non-commissioni'd  offif-ers  also  r^ady  and  prrviously 
known  to  the  men,  and  the  men  tolerably  good  marks- 
men, the  command  might  march  at  once. 

How  to  have  the  ofQcers  and  non-commissioned 
officers  ready,  and  liow  to  have  tho  men  good  marks- 
men, flro,  then,  the  questions.  The  last  is  easily  pro- 
vided for  by  m.aking  arrangements  for  regular  prac- 
tice firing  at  moderate  rangas  by  all  enrolled  Jlilitia. 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Inspector-General's 
Department.  As  to  the  first  two — after  remarking 
that  tho  non-commissioned  officers  sbnuld  not  be 
edncated  with  the  officers  but  by  thom — wo  would 
propose  for  the  oducalJon  of  officer?,  say  in  New- 
York  State,  a  yearly  camp  of  instruction  for  three 
month.s,  to  bo  liold  at  Albany,  through  which  all  of- 
ficers sfctuld  pass  at  least  once-  Tho  instruL-tors 
should  be  officers  of  tho  United  State.?  Ax^iy  wlio 
had  seen  service — the  (fovemment  wotU^i' readily  de- 
tail them  for  such  duty — and,  to  he  sure  of  trood  av- 
erage ability  rather  than  look  for  more  and  perhaps 
fail,  they  should  bo  graduates  of  Wast  Point. 

It  would  probably  be  impracticable  to  assemble 
many  of  the  MiUtia  ofli':or3  now  in  service,  but  with 
a  law  that  all  hereafter  commissioned  must  have 
passed  through  the  school,  it  would  not  be  difficult 
to  obtain  as  candidates  for  commissions  from  ea'-b 
district  a  proper  number  of  yiiuni;  men  who  <-wuId 
spare  the  three  monllis,  iind  from  tbe.se  tho  Gover- 
nor of  the  State  should  select  those  to  be  atlniitted. 
as  also,  afterward,  those  to  receive  coninr.s.sions. 
The  whole  nurabershould  be  formetl  into  a  b»ttfilJon. 
Rations,  equipments,  ttc.  should  be  fumislud  by  the 
State,  and  no  privnte  messes  nr  private  inilulgen''es 
nllitwed.  Confining  the  in-<tru**lion  to  drill, 
discipline,  and  military  wlininlstnition,  Xhrc^ 
months  would  aifonl  time  for  all  tiiat  is  abso- 
lutely necessrin,-  to  Militia  ser\"ice.  for  civin;;  military 
ideas  of  re-sponnibility  and  of  roummnd,  ajid.  by  prac- 
tice marches  of  reasonaldc  lensth.  for  givuig  a  pnic- 
ticol  idea  of  what  may  fairly  bere»|uirod  of  soldiers  in 
the  field.  It  would  also  enablo  the  authorilii-s  to 
decide  who  were  and  who  werw  not  worthy  of  receiv- 
ing commissions,  or  of  continuing  tr)  hoi. I  iheui.

In  that  remote  time  vsgnely  referred  to  in 
lie  ritual  of  the  I.  O.  S.  M.  as  "  wherein  the 
memory  of  man  runneth  not  to  the  contrary," 
Mr.  John  Lang— familiarly  yclept  "Johnny 
Lang " — was  editor  and  proprietor,  in  part  if 
not  in  whole,  of  that  now  venerable  grand- 
mother of  the  Metropolitan  press,  the  Commer- 
mercial  Adveriiter.  He  used  to  spend  his  Sum- 
mers on  Staten  Island — his  Summer  nights,  at 
least — and,  either  actuated  by  a  commendable 
spirit  of  enterprise  or  stimulated  by  an  excuse 
for  temporal^  escape  from  the  ferocious  mos- 
quitoes of  that  home  by  the  sea,  got  into  the 
habit  of  going  out  in  a  small  boat  at  night  on 
the  Bay  U>  "  pick  up  "  incoming  vessels  and  get 
their  latest  news  from  abroad  for  the  next  day's 
Comm^ninl  Adveriiter.  It  was  thus  that  he  won 
tor  himself  posthumous  fame  as  the  father  of 
Bhip-news  reporting.  After  him  came  a  Mr. 
Thompson,  who  died  at  the  ripe  age  of  76.  and 
who  was  a  ship  news  reporter  up  to  the  time  of 
his  death.  He  used  to  work  for  both  the 
Commercial  Advertiier  and  Evening  Post.  As 
long  ago  as  March  17.  1832,  Mr.  W.  T.  Brogan, 
now  the  veteran  gatherer  of  this  class  of  in- 
formation, entered  the  business.  It  must  not  be 
understood  that  the  occupation  has  been  con- 
fined to  those  named.  Scores  have  essayed  it 
and  numbers  have  clung  to  it  for  years,  but  of 
sll  the  energetic  and  adventurous  spirits  en- 
listed in  it,  Mr.  Brogan  alone  remains,  pnrsning 
it  to-day  with  the  enthusiasm  of  youth,  the 
enertry  of  middle  life,  and  the  conscientiousness 
of  old  age.    Wondronsly  woll>it  has  agreed  with 

him.  Though  he  is  in  his  C3d  year,  his 
silvered  locks  are  the  only  excuse  one  would 
have  for  estimating  his  age  above  40.  His 
^lue  eyes  are  as  clear,  his  temples  as  free  from 
"  crow  feet,"  bis  voice  as  full  and  clear,  his  step 
a<<  light,  and  his  wits  as  bright  as  most  men  20 
years  his  junior  can  boast.  "He  is  stout,  but  hia 
avoirdupois  does  not  tell  against  him  when  .ikip- 
ping  into  or  out  of  a  boat,  nor  does  it  seem  to 
be  in  his  way  when  pulling  against  wind  and 
tide.  Besides,  it  seems  the  common  lot  of  good- 
humored,  nautical  persons  to  grow  stout.  Capt. 
Coffin  has  a  profound  theory  on  the  subject 
*'  It's  the  salt  as  fattens,"  says  he.  "  Tou  never 
see  a  lean  piece  of  meat  pulled  out  of  the  brine 
of  a  barrel  of  prime  mess  pork,  It*s  all  fat, 
which  is  all  along  of  the  salt,  and  Iike\vise  it  be 
with  the  good  siJlor-roan."  Mr.  Brogan  became 
n  ship-news  reporterrat  that  important  juncture 
when  the  </(>«maJ  o/  Comra«n»  and  the  Courier 
and  Enquirer  developed  the  energy,  remarka- 
ble at  that  day,  of  fitting  out  four  largo 
and  swift  boats  like  the  present  pilot-boats 
to  cruise  40  or  50  miles  off  shore,  in- 
tercept incoming  vessel.s,  get  their  news 
and  then'  heai  them  dnto  the  City  by  sufficient 
xime  to  enable  those'then  sprightly  journals  to 
get  the'  news  out  ahead  of  their  slower  contem- 
poraries. The  JournoTs  boata  were  the  Journal 
of  Commerce  and  Eclipse  ;  the  Courier's  the 
Courier  and  Enquirer  and  Evening  Edition. 
The  men  employed  on  those  vessels  had  to  pos- 
sess indomitable  energy,  fertility  of  resources, 
and  an  extraordinary  fund  of  endurance.  If 
wind  and  tide  favored  they  might  sail  up  to  the 
City,  but  should  those.aids  fail  them,  tbey  were 
compelled  to  row  to  the  nearest  land.  Long 
Island  or  the  Jersey  shore,  and  thence  make 
Iheir'way  to  town  by -whatever  conveyance  they 
could  obtain,  regardless  of  hour  or  weather. 
'Winter  and  Summer,  darkness  and  light,  were 
the  same  to  them,  and  the  storm  in  which  the 
white  wings  of  other  vessels  were  furled,  was 
welcomed  \xr  them,  fbr,  driven  by  its  breath, 
they  could  fly  the  faster  with  their  news.  It 
was  a  eoetly  service.  Webb,  of  the  Courier  and 
inoMirer,, (for  whom  Mt,  Brogan  then  worked,) 
sank  over  -  $52,000  in  it  within  two  years — a 
great  sum  ■  for  those  da^ys,  "Well  as  it  worked 
for  a  time,  the  progress  df  invention  soon  made 
It  seem  a  clumsy  and  obsolete  machinery  for 
news  gathering.  One  is^k  night  in  1836,  if 
Mr.  Brogan  remembers  aright,  the  first  ocean 
Fteattier — the  Sirius,  from  Cork — steamed  up 
the  Narrows,  and  the  very  next  day  the  Great 
"Western  came  driving  in  from  BristoL  That 
was  the  end  of  the  useftilness  of  the  swift-sailing 
yews-boats.  The  steamers  easily  left  them  be- 
hind in  the  race.  Still,  they  did  not  at  once  give 
np  the  struggle,  but  used  to  lie  outside  waiting 
to  '*  pick  up  ''  packets  from  ports  not  yet  pro- 
vii^ed  with  steam  communication,  and  'in  that 
way  managed  occasionally  to  get  some  good 
news. 

Two  or  three  years  later  Moses  T.  Beach,  who 
was  wise  in  his  day  and  generation,  aad  spent 
much  thou^t  and  endearor  upon  the  advance- 
ment of  the  SuTi,  had  theddea  of  establishing  a 
pigeon  express  to  bring  the  news  from  Sandy 
Hook  to  the  Sun  ofHce,  Coops  were  erected  on 
the  office  roof,  carrier-pigeons,  warranted  good 
homing  birds,  were  procured,  and  the  experi- 
ment was  made,  but  without  success.  Whether 
the  birds  were  not  properly  trained  by  prelimi-  > 
nary  short  flights  or  were  imable  to  fix  proper ' 
flight-points  on  the  loi^,  barren  country  they 
had  to  cross,  or.  were  confused  by  the  sea,  or 
were  a  poor- sort  of  birds  anyway,  does  not  ap- 
pear; but  it.is  positively  affirmed  upon  good  au- 
.,^thority  that  they  never  were,  notwithSanding 
all  the  '■  blowing  "  done  about  them,  of  any  val- 
nable  service  except  once,  when  they  brought . 
from  Hartford,.Conn.,  tUe^earUest  news  of  the 
conviction  of  a  ministerial  murderer  whose  trial 
had  excited  a  great  deal  of  popular  interest. 
Later  the  Associated  Press  made  the  pigeons  of 
a  good  deal  of  service,  flying  them  with  news 
from  the  Sout-west  Spit  to  SaiidyHook.  whence 
the  intelligence  they  brought  was  telegraphed 
to  the  Citv,  That  only  lasted  a  short  time,  how- 
ever, until  a  boarding-station  was  established  at 
Cape  Race,  on  the  eastern  edge  of  New- 
Brunswick,  whence  steamer  news  was  tele- 
graphed to  New- York  three  days  in  advance 
of  the  arrival  of  the  steamer  bringing 
it.  That  lasted  up  to  the  laying  of  the  Atlantic 
cable,  which  at  once  superseded  all  the  old 
methods.  When  Mr,  M.  Y.  Beach's  pigeons 
failed  him  heucast  about  for  some  new  device, 
and  the  result*  of  his  cogitations  was  a  step 
which,  if  originated  even  now,  would  be  deemed 
enterprising  and  ingenious,  the  competition  of 
the  telegraph  being,  of  course,  left  out  of  con- 
sideration. The  Sarah  Sands,  the  Arcadia,  a 
Cunarder,  and  other  steamers  were  then  arriv- 
ing regularly  at  this  port  from  Europe,  Mr. 
Beach's  good  idea'was  to  charter  a- fast  steatn- 
boat — upon  which  he  would  have  a  force  of  ac- 
tive compositors  with  their  cases — ^intercept  thte 
Incoming  steamers,  get  their  news,  and  while 
returning  to  the  City  "  set  up  "  the  matter  for 
an  "extra,"  andJock  up  its  "form"  ready  to  be 
tossed  into  a  carriage  immediately  npon  its  ar- 
rival at  the  Battery  and  rushed  off  to  the  press. 
The  scheme  worked; to  perfection.  His  "extra 
5«  Its"  were  cried  on  the  street  long  before  the 
Serald  had  its  type  -set  in  the  office,  and  James 
Gordon  Bennett,  to  Ms  infinite  disgust,  was  reg- 
ularly "  beaten "  on  the  arrival  of  every  Eu- 
ropean steamer.  Hevemployed  the  steam-boat 
Jacob  BeU  to  intercept^ressels,  but  did  not  set 
•up  the  "form"  on  board,  and  that  was  where 
they  had  him.  Gratifying  as  this  result  was  to 
Beach,  he  was  very  glad.to  find  others  than  his 
immediate  rival  to  share  its  expense,  for  it  was 
a  very  costly  triumph-  The  Journal  of  Com- 
merce was  first  to  go  in  with  him.  Then  came 
the  Tribune,  and  finally,  after  two  years  of 
unavailing  resistance,  Bennett  succumbed, 
joined  in  the  combination,  and  the  nucletis  of 
the  now  powerful  Assoeiatied  Press  was  formed. 

When  the  Jlerald  was-once  in  the  combination 
and  enjoyed  the  same  facilities  as  the  others  for 
news-getting,  Joe  Elliott  originated  a  rather  in- 
genious way  of  turning  the  tables  on  the  Sun 
and  utilizing  the  late  news  with  superior  rapidi- 
ty. Mr,  3ennett,  at  his  suggestion,  employed 
eight  good  compositors  in  the  press-room,  "The 
understanding  was  that  while  they  were  prop- 
erly press-room  hands,  they  were  toimmediateV 
npon  the  receipt  of  late  news  jump  to  the 
cases  and  set  the  matter  for  a  late  edition. 
Having  these  men  thus  ready,  the  Herald  could 
set  a  column  wiiiie  the  Sun's  men  were  being 
hunted  up  about  town  or  waked  from  the^ 
beds,  Mr,  Brogan  waa  at  that  time  employed 
in  the  getting  of  the  night  ship  news,  and  it 
was  his  d&ty  to  wake  np  the  Sun  comnositoni 
when  he  brought  newt  after  they  had  left  the 
office,  according  to  a  little  directory  of  their 
places  of  abode  which  he  carried  in  his  pocket. 
He  had  also  to  prepare  the  news  for  them  to 
"  set,"  for  it  was  never  thought  worth  while 
then  to  bother  an  editor  to  come  to  the  office 
merely  to  get  out  a  batch  of  European  news. 
Mr.  Brogan  could  do  that  qtiite  well  enough 
■with  the  simple  assistance  of  a  pair  of  scissors, 
for  in  those  days  the  English  papers  were  not 
such'  formidaMe  things  as  they  now  are,  and 
their  condisnaed  news  was  p«£anly  sot  forth 
under  tlie  namM  of  the  several  conntriea

long  thereafter  found  her  far  too  alow  to 
compete  with  the  swift  steamers  then  put  on 
the  Ounard  Line.  Indeed,  they  could  get  no 
steam-boat  able  to  do  more  than  keep  in  sight 
the  oew  Cnnarders  coming  up  the  Bay.  So  the. 
Newsboy  was  given  up  and  a  return  to  the  olt 
est  system  of  all — ^that  of  sending  out  small 
boats  from  Staten  Island  to  meet  incoming  ves- 
sels— was  resorted  to.  the  same  system  practi- 
cally that  is  kept  up  to  this  day,  notwithstand- 
ing the  telegraph  has  so  far  circumscribed  its 
usefulness.  The  Courier  and  Enquirer  and  Jmir- 
nal  of  Commerce  did  not  get  out  extras  even  in 
those  exciting  days,  leaving  that  troublesome 
competition  to  their  smaller  rivals,  the  Sun  and 
JTerald,  and  later  the  Tribiine.  In  each  office, 
however,  a  couple  of  compositors  were  kept  on 
duty  all  the  night  through,  waiting  to  set  np 
possible  news.  There  was  then  no  stereotyping 
of  forms,  and  it  was  a  very  simple  matter  If 
an3rthing  good  came  late  to  set  it  up,  stop  the 
press,  unlock  the  form,  lift  oiit  something  to 
give  the  require^  space,  and  push  the  new  mat- 
ter In.  And  all  that  was  frequently  done  as 
late  as  7  o'clock  A.  M. 

In  the  Winter  of  1845-6  another  idea  for  in- 
creasing news  facilities  suggested  itself  to  Moses 
T.  Beach.  The  steamer  then  ran,  in  the  Winter 
season,  but  once  a  month.  Packet-ships  some- 
times came  in  between,  but  they  were  uncertain. 
Beach  thought  it  would  be  practicable  to  run  a 
small,  swift-sailing  vessel  across  the  ocean,  be- 
tween the  steamer  trips,  carrying  news  both 
ways,  and  as  there  was  just  then  a  great  deal  of 
excitement  on  both  sides  of  the  water  over  the 
fixing  of  the  Oregon  boundary  line,  the  time 
seemed  propitious  for  the  experiment.  The  com- 
bination, or  Press  Association,  was  not  then 
formed.  A  coalition  for  the  purposes  of  this 
experiment  was,  however,  entered  into  between 
■the  5ien  and  Tributie,  Mr.  Thomas  McElrath 
representing  the  latter  in  the  arrangement,  and 
on  Feb.  9,  1846,  the  60-ton  pilot-boat  W.  J. 
Romer,  James-  McGuire,  master,  started  on  the 
experimental  trip.  Mr.  W.  T,  Brogan  went  on 
board  for  the  Sun,  Mr,  Gale  for  the  Tribune. 
The  weather  was  frightfully  bad.  There  was  a 
constant  succession  of  heavy  gales  from  the 
north-west.  Every  six  hours  the  stout  litde 
twat  would  have  to  be  "  hove  to."  The  deck 
was  under  water  all  the  while,  and  those  who 
had  to  venture  there  needed  to  lash  themselves 
fa,st  to  prevent  being  swept  overboard.  Not- 
withstanding all  these  difficulties  and  great 
perils,  they  made  Qneensto^vn  on  the  twenty- 
third  day  out  from  New- York.  They  laid  there 
five  or  SIX  days,  while  Mr.  Gale  went  up  to  Lon- 
don with  his  news  and  brought  back  a  budget 
in  return.  Then  they  set  sail  for  New- York, 
and  made  the  home  trip  in  27  days,  with  less 
trouble  than  ttey  had  in  going  out,  .since  they 
returned  by  the  longer  but  smoother  southern 
passage.  'The  e.tporiment  was  deemed  measur- 
ably successful,  but  was  never  tried  again,  as 
very  soon  thereafter  the  .steamers  got  to  running 
much  more  frequently  than  before.  Although 
smaller  boats  than  the  W.  J.  Romer  have 
since  crossed  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  in  the 
most  favorable  seasons  for  such  attempts, 
this  gallant  trip  to  and  fro  in  so  small  a  vessel, 
and  in  the  most  Inclement  and  perilous  time  of 
the  year,  deserves  to  be  remembered  as  a  feat 
of  which  the  participants  may  well  be  proud. 
Incidentally,  something  that  occurred  at 
Queensto^.  while  the  news-boat  lay  there,  is 
worthy  of  record.  The  second  day  after  her  ar- 
rival Admiral  Pickett,  of  the  Royal  Navy. 
chanced  to  look  down  in  her  direction  from  Jiis 
residence  on  the  hill  above  Cork,  and  beheld  the 
American  pennant  floating  from  her  mast-head. 
Straightway  he  sent  an  order  on  board  the 
Crocodile,  a  huge  7-1-gun  ship  lying  in  the  har- 
lK>r.  to  have  that  pennant  hauled  down.  When 
the  officer  charged  to  see  this  done  stepped  upon 
the  deck  of  the  Romer  he  found  nobody  there 
but  Mr.  Brogan,  all  the  officers  and  crew  having 
gone  ashore.  Mr.  Brogan,  a  New-Yorker,  and 
as  thoroughly  American  as  the  "bird  of  free- 
dom ''  himself,   heard  the  command ;   he  was

astounded  and  indignant.  *'Haul  down  those 
colors  t  Ko,"  ho  said,  "not  for  Admiral 
I^ckett  and  the  whole  English  Navy,  and  the 
rjral  family  in  a  lumo,  with  the  '  old  lady  of 
Threadneedle-street*  thrown  in,"  would  he  per- 
mit them  to  be  touched  while  the  Romer 
floated  and  he  lived.  The  English  officer  re- 
tired in  good  order,  and  the  colors  continued  to 
wave.  The  American  Consul,  Mr.  Murphv, 
was  consulted,  and  sustained  Mr.  Brogan. 
There  were  consultations.  representAtions,  ex- 
planations, and  finally  the  Admiral  receded 
rrora  his  imperatiye  position,  making  the  ex- 
cuse that  he  had  miiitaken  the  boat  for  an  Eng- 
liah  yacht,  a  vessel  restrained  by  some  re^ila 
lion  from  lloattng  it«  pennant  when  in  a 
where  there  is  an  Admiral. 

During  the  many  years  of  his  services  ..„. 
Brogan  has  been  the  urst  to  receive  here  some 
of  the  most  important  news  brought  to  the  New 
"World.     It  was  about   1845.  while  he  was  em- 

{)loyed  by  the  Sun,  that  he  got  the  earliest  intel- 
igence  of  the  terrible  e-arthquake  that  visited 
San  Domingo,  destroying  almost  all  the  city 
and  some  10,000  human  lives.  A  briij 
from  Port  au  Prince  broueht  the  .news;  Hani 
as  the  work  was  tn  the  old  days  when  the  Jonrnul 
and  Courier  ran  their  pilot-boats,  it  became  much 
more  hazardous  in  later  years,  when  steamers 
had  to  be  boarded  from  small  boats,  especially 
in  the  Winter  season.  He  had  then  an  assist- 
ant, and  it  was  the  practice  to  be  hauled  up  on 
board  by  a  line  over=the  stem,  leaving  the  boat 
to  tow  until  they  reached  a  point  where  they 
thought  they  could  make  a  landing,  and  then 
be  cast  off.  In  Winter  they  had  to  risk  their 
lives  over  and  over  again  everj'  night.  They 
did  not  dare  to  tow  behind  for"  fear  some  un- 
lucky chance  might  put  them  iii  the  way  of  the 
propeller  blades,  or  a  cake  of  ice  might  at  any 
moment  tear  the  entire  bottom  out  of  their 
boat^  Not  infrequently  when  they  came  to 
clamber  down  into  their  boat  to  attempt  a  land- 
ing, they  would  find  her  torn  open  by  the  ic«. 
Sometimes,  in  furious  storms  of  snow  and  in 
fogs,  the  steamers  would  lie  to  until  daylight. 
Then  they  would  have  to  pull  up  from  Staten 
Island  to  the  City  in  the  storm  and  dark- 
jiesji  and  amid  the  ice.  Once,  in  the  month 
o^November,  Mr.  Brogan  and  two  oarsmen 
were  in  a  boat  pulling  up  to  the  City  under 
such  circumstances,  when  the  steamer  City  of 
Washington  ran  them  down,  crushing  their  boat 
like  an  eggshell,  and  hurling  them  into  the 
water.  They  managed  to  grasp  a  piece  of  their 
wreck  and  keep  afloat  until  rescued  by  a  reve- 
nue boat,  that  Landed  them  at  the  Battery, 
whence  they  hurried  up  town  with  their  news  as 
if  nothing  unusual  had  happened-  On  another 
occasion  the  ice  prevented  Mr.  Brogan  from 
landing  any  nearer  New- York  than  Red  Hook, 
and  he  walked  the  three  miles  on  the  ice,  quite 
satisfied  that  by  so  doing  he  got  his  news  in  in 
time  for  that  night's  use.  Many  similar  in- 
stances of  his  devotion  to  duty  and  indiffer- 
ence to  personal  sacrifice  and  danger  might  be 
cited.  Yet  in  all  the  years  of  his  service  in  this 
business  he  lost  but  five  days,  and  those  were 
when  he  was  laid  up  with  the  yellow  fever. 
For  20  years  he  never  was  off  duty,  day  or 
night.  In  1865  he  resigned  and  remained 
away  for  two  years,  but  then  the  Associated 
Press  requested  him  to  return — after^uperin- 
tendent  Hall's  discharge — and  he  did  so.  No 
wonder  that  in  1848  Moses  Y.  Beach  &  Sons 
wrote  to  him,  *'  During  the  eight  years  and  a 
half  yon  were  in  our  employment,  as  ship  news 
collector,  we  always  found  you  faithful  and  at- 
tentive, and  for  enterprise,  honesty,  industry, 
and  ability  you  have  our  implicit  confidence.'* 
AU  that  he  deserves  to-day  as  well  as  then. 
Now  his  duties  are  comparatively  easy.  Dr. 
Vanderpoel,  the  Health  Officer  of  the  Port,  col- 
lects the  ship  news  of  the  dav,  and  he  performs 
the  same  service  all  night.  Whatever  is  got  is

the  Quarantine  landing,  or  else  is  telegraphed. 
There  is  comparatively  little  risk  in  getting  the 
news,  and  at  this  season  it  is  indeed  pleasant  to 
do  so.  But  if  the  old-time  comjwtition  and  ex- 
citement could  be  inang^urated  again,  it  cannot 
4>6  doubted  that  Mr.  Brogan  would  hail  it  with 
joy,  nor  never  once  think  of  his  added  weight

The  Meriden  (Conn.)  R^ublican  of  Friday 
has  the  following  account  of  fatal  poisoning  In  that 
city :  "  Wednesday  morning  Mr.  Valentine  Kane,  of 
North  First-street,  went  out  early  into  a  meadow 
near  his  honsa,  and  picked  what  he  thoogbt  were  edi- 
ble mushrooms.  He  had  them  stewed  for  breakfast, 
and  himself  and  littJe  son  and  daughter  ate  heartily. 
Mrs.  Kane  aiM  an  infant,  the  only  other  members  of 
tk&  family,  did  not  eat  of  them.  After  breakfast  tbe 
father  went  to  his  day's  l^bor,  and  felt  about  ta  usual 
until  the  afternoon,  when  he  began  to  experience  a 
slight  sickness  at  the  stomach,  lie  thought  nothing 
of  it.  but  got  through  Trithhia  work,  and  at  night 
went  home.  After  arriving  there  he  was  taken  ynth 
vomiting,  and  became  very  sick.  The  two  older  chil- 
dreu  also  became  sick,  and  manifested  the  same 
symptoms.  The  family  are  poor,  and  did  not  like  to 
send  for  a  doctor  until  it  was  found  to  be  necessary, 
but  as  all  of  them  kept  growing  worse  a  messenger 
was.  at  2  o'clock  Thursday  morning,  hastily  oQ,s- 
p&tched  for  I>r.  Newport.  He  did  not  come,  and 
afterward  messengers  were  dispatched  for  other 
doctors,  but  none  could  be  got  until  8  A-  M.,  when  a 
messenger  foond  Dr.  Tait  and  brought  him  to  the 
sick  family-  It  was  soon  discovered  what  was  the 
matter,  and  remedies  were  applied,  but  bo  long  a 
time  had  elapsed  after  eating  the  poisonous  *  toad- 
stools '  that  u  seemed  impossible  to  do  much.  The 
two  children  kept  growing  worse,  and  although  Dr. 
Tait  had  summoned  in  othem  doctors,  the  united  skill 
of  all  could  not  save  them,  and  the  little  girl,  named 
Henrietta,  aged  3  years  and  11  months,  died  at  5 
o'clock  Thursday  afternoon,  and  Valentine,  the  hoy, 
aged  5  years  and  6  months,  died  in  the  evening.  The 
father's  life  was  almost  despaired  of,  but  his  more

BAQyggBa-DB-LXTOHOy,       I 

Wednesday,  Aug.  8,  1877.  > 
People  rise  early  at  Lnohon,  as  at  most 
other  watering-places,  and  by  S:30  a  number  of 
bathers  are  out.  At  6  o'clock  the  ladies  begin 
to  appefir  in  curious  morning  costumes,  with 
their  cups  in  their  hands,  and  slowly  wend  their 
way  up  the  hillside  to  take  their  morning 
draught  of  warm  stilphurotis  water.  At  the 
spring  a  train  is  formed — each  takes  it  in  turn — 
it  is  fire  and  fall  back— and  those  served  range 
themselves  along  the  walks  of  the  villa  to 
worry  down  the  nasty  tasting  waters  as 
best  they  can,  or  with  as  few  grimaces 
as  possible.  There  is  a  look  of  satirfaction 
upon  each  ^aoe  wlien  the  formidalmj^is 
over,  which  is  intensely  amusing  to  those  |K)s- 
sessing  a  keen  sense  and  appreciation  of  the  lu- 
dicrous, and  all  go  away  looking  much  happier 
than  when  they  came.  Probably  their  faces 
are  illumined  by  th^t  air  of  self-satisfaction 
which  comes  from  a  sense  of  duty  done.  Then 
comes  the  bath,  which  is  a  more  agreeable  ope- 
ration. The  men  who  have  no  particular  mala- 
dies affect  the  piscine,  and  about  7  o'clock  it  is 
full.  The  ladies  also  have  their  swimming 
bath  upon  the  other  side.  The  water  is  warm 
and  exceedingly  comfortable.  After  sporting 
about  in  it  for  a  time  the  bather 
is  advised  to  put  himself  under 
a  douche,  and  the  servant  lets  a  s^am  of  cold 
water  out  upon  the  head  and  l^k.  The  first 
jet  takes  away  the  breath,  and  one  has  an  irre- 
sistible desire  to  scream ;  but  after  a  moment 
the  body  gets  in  a  glow,  the  blood  circulates 
freely,  and  the  sensation  is  rather  pleasant 
than  otherwise.  A  second  plunge  into  the 
piscine  completes  the  bath,  and  this  time  the 
water  appears  to  be  hob  rather  than  tepid. 

On  going  out  another  glass  of  'water  is  neces- 
sary, according  to  the  doctors,  and  this  may  be 
taken  in  the  establishment — water  which  comes 
out  of  the  same  mountain,  but  by  a  different 
pipe,  and  presumably  of  a  different  composi- 
tion. The  book.*?  give  you  the  .details,  showing 
what  ingredients  are  found  in  each  spring,  and 
I  was  astonished  at  their  number.  The  most  of 
them  were  represented  by  decimal  fractions, 
but  a  quantity  are  designated  by  the  sim- 
ple words,  *'  a  trace."  A  trace  of 
iodine  is  found  in  one  spring ;  a  trace 
of  another  mineral  substance  has  been 
discovered  in  such  a  water.  Dr.  Pegot,  who  has 
written  the  most  complete  work  upon  the 
thermal  stations  of  the  Pyrenees  now  extant, 
gives  us  the  most  minute  analyses  of  all  these 
craters  in  his  books.  He  is  an  enthusiast  upon 
the  subject.  He  believes  in  the  curative  effects 
of  the  springs,  and,  after  30  years'  experience, 
part  of  the  time  as  Chief  of  the  Hospital 
of  Luchon,  he  has  gathered  up  a  large 
number  of  cases  to  prove  his  theories.  It  was 
by  Dr.  Pegot  that  I  was  introduced  tothees- 
tablisbiment  at  Luchon,  and  I  picked  up  so 
much  useful  information  in  the  course  of  on 
hour's  talk  that  I  do  not  hesitate  to  advise 
others  to  consult  him  or  one  of  his  colleagues 
on  arriving  at  these  warm  springs.  I  can  say 
th^for  them:  all  my  friends  and  acq^int- 
ances  were  well  satisfied  with  the  progres^  thoy 
had  made  toward  a  cure,  but  I  will  not  pretend 
to  say  what  part  the  waters  actually  had  in  it. 

Permit  me  to  say  that  I  am  not  a  little  skepti- 
cal upon  the  subject  of  mineral  waters  in  gen- 
eral, that  is  mineral  water  per  se,  but  there  Is  no 
doubt  that  much  good  is  gained  at  watering- 
places.  I  remember  a  neighbor  of  mine  In  Vir- 
ginia who  wished  to  rival  the  White  Sulphur 
Springs,  who  finally  persuaded  himself  that  a 
pure  clear  spring  upon  his  place  contained  a 
quantity  of  sulphur.  He  could  taste  it  himself, 
and  wondered  that  others  could  not.  Finally  he 
put  a  few  sticks  of  the  old-fashioned  brim- 
stone into  the  water,  and  invited  his  friends  to 
take  it.  To  this  day,  I  believe,  he  has  never 
forgiven  tbe  doctor  who  told  him  that  sulphur 
did  not  dissolve  in  water  in  that  way.  I  do 
not  mean  to  insinuate  that  all  waters  are  doc- 
tored, but  some  of  them  are,  and  in  the  most 
impudent  fashion.  But  that  cannot  be  done  at 
Luchon.  After  all,  the  character  of  the  water 
is  a  small  affair,  in  my  opinion,  in  comparison 
with  the  repose,  the  exercise,  the  pure  air,  the 
£almnes.<t  of  mind  that  one  gets  when  sojourning 
at  a  Summer  resort  of  this  nature.  If  we  go  ill 
and  really  get  better,  we  need  not  scrutinize 
too  closely  the  chemical  analysis  of  the  waters^ 

The  morning  at  Luchon  is  chiefly  spent  in 
bathing  or  in  walking.  Breakfast  comes  at  10 
or  thereabouts,  and  afterward  the  excursions 
into  the  valleys  begin.  If  one  wishes  to  ascend 
the  mountains  an  early  start  is  required,  but  for* 
the-  ordinary  promenades  after  breakfast  will 
do.  My  first  drive  was  about  the  Val- 
ley of  Luchon,  ^a  complete  tour  of  the 
town,  embracing  a  distance  of  some  eight 
miles.  There  is  little  of  Interest  on  the 
route  besides  the  mountains  that  rise  precipi- 
tously on  either  side  and  the  houses  and  gar- 
dens nestled  in  the  valley.  A  fine  effect  is  ob- 
tained in  the  evening  when  the  declining  snn 
gilds  the  mountain  tops,  leaving  the  valleys  in 
soft  shadow.  That  is  the  hour  for  reverie,  and 
upon  the  hillsides  one  feels  inclined  to  halt  by 
the  way  .  and  think,  or — dream  ;  in  youtn 
over  the  future,  in  middle  age  about 
the  past.  Along  ^the  road  aSout  the 
town  there  are  two  or  three  little  hamlets 
and  a  beautiful  cascade.  Back  of  an  old  mill 
and  a  collection  of  poor  cottages  rises  a  mass  of 
solid  rock,  bver  which  a  stream  of  water  flows, 
falling  into  a  basin  some  40  feet  below.  The 
scene  is  picturesque,  but  it  is  marred  by  the 
owner  of  the  mill,  who  has  shut  his  cascade  in 
for  the  purine  of  gain.  In  order  to  reach  it 
one  has  topkaa  through  a  gate  which*  is  only 
opened  with  a  silver  key,  and  the  very  act  of 
paying  before  one  can  enjoy  the  beauties'of  nai_ 
ture  destroys  completely  the  harmony  of  the 
scene. 

'My  second  excursion  was  to  the  Portillon,  or 
one  of  the  gates  to  Spain,  where  a  regular  gam- 
bling-house, like  that  of  Monaco,  has  been 
established.  I  happened  to  fall  upon  the  open- 
ing day.  Let  me  say  that  gambling  goes  on 
nearly  everywhere  in  Luchon  in  a  Certain  way — 
tolerated  simply,  and  controlled  by  the  Po- 
lice by  the  system  of  the  club.  In  one 
of  my  previops  letters  I  told  you 
that  the  legists  of  France  had  long  been  study- 
ing the  question  of  play,  and  had  finally  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  the  club  system  was  the 
best  that  could  be  devLsed.  In  the  first  place, 
only  men  of  a  certain  class  can  get  into  a  club, 
even  those  they  have  here,  and,  secondly,  the 
members  play  among  themselves,  and  not 
against  a  bank.  At  Maniyx)  one 
plays  against  a  machine  with  ^a  large 
percentage  in  its  favor,  and  there  is  always  a 
percentage  in  favor  of  the  bank.  In  the  clubs 
the  memliers  take  the  bank  by  turns,  and  each 
has  a  chance  to  bank  or  to  play  against  the  bank 
as  he  sees  fit.  All  this  under  the  eyes  of  the 
Police.  If  a  swindler  is  known  tohave  obtained 
access  to  any  club  the  Police  give  warning  to 
the  responsible  officers,  and  invite  uem 
to  get  rid  of  him.  By  this  system  play 
is  controlled,  kept  within  certain  limits,  and 
rendered  as  harmless  ae  possible.  But  in  the 
regular  gambling  establishments  any  one  can 
enter,  and  everybody  plays  continijrily  against 
the  bank,  with  many  chances  against  them. 
An  application  Vas  made  to  open  a  house  in 
Lwshon,  but  the  French  Government  refused, 
and  hence  it  was  placed  iust  upon  the 
frontier  on  the  Spuiish  side,  'if  la  a 
small  pavilion  at  the  beginning  of  a  deep  vri- 
ley,  and  contains  nothing  but  a  small  resiauraut 
and  the  rooms  for  play.  A  majority  of  people 
go  over  in  carriages,  with  four  horses— a  tedi- 
ous ride  of  two  hours — but  others  go  on  horse- 
back. The  ride  over  was  a  pleasant  one.  For 
more  than  an  hour  our-  little  horses  clambered 
up  a  'Steep  ascent,  winding  about  the 
mountain  side  in  all  directions,  and 
then,  ve  had  a  short  descent  between 
two  ranges.    XTpon  the  sommit  of  the  second

below  saw  the  gambling  pavilion  known  as  the 
Portillon.  It  was  decorated  with  the  flags  of  all 
nations,  and  r  saw  the  Stars  and  Stripes  flying 
from  each  eomer.  At  a  sort  of  mstlc  gate  upon 
the  path — for  the  carriage  road  ends  here— a 
Spanish  soldier  was  standmg  guard  and  looking 
curiously  at  the  crowd  of  persons  passing 
his  stand.  Within  a  score  or  more  of  players 
were,  already  assembled,  and  I  saw  faces  that 
were  familiar  to  me  years  ago  at  Baden-Baden, 
and  later  at  Monaco.  The  old  Russian  Princess 
had  come  here  to  try  her  luck;  the  Polish 
Count  was  in  the  foremost  rank;  all  the 
flgures  of  the  rouge-et-noir  tables  were 
seen  at  the  Portulon.  Roulette  was 
in  full  blast,  and  at  each  turn  the  bank  increased 
its  pile.  For  two  hours  it  went  on  in  this  way, 
everybody  losing,  and  in  the  snd  there  was 
scarcely  any  money  left.  I  am  told  that  the 
owner  of  the  hotise  made  50,000  francs  on  the 
opening  day.  The  crowd  drove  back  to 
Luchon  in  bad  humor,  for  there  was  not  one  of 
the  lot  who  could  boast  of  having  won  a  penny. 
It  was  a  general  rout,  and  a  field-day  for  .the 
gamblers. 

TBE  BAGE  FOE  OLD  CHINA, 


AN  ETHUSIAST'S  STORY  OP  HER  SEARCH 
AMONG  THE  TREASURES  OP  BLOCK 
ISLAND. 

C&rregpondence  0/  the  Hartford  Timci. 

Block  Islanp,  Aug.  18,  1877. 
The  letters  this  year  from  Block  Island  have 
been  both  numerous  and  interesting,  and  I  should 
have  some  delicacv  in  daring  to  write,  if  I  had  not 
a  now  subject  to  discourse  upon.  The  light-house 
has  been  duly  described,  the  grand  cliffs  and  fine 
hotels  eulogized,  but  the  one  subject,  "  Old  Cheeney, " 
has  been  neglected.  The  fever  for  antiquities  has 
even  reached  this  quiet  s^ot,  and  the  island  has  been 
scoured  from  north  to  south,  and  oist  to  west.  I, 
who  have  always  been  a  scoffer,  was  seized  with  tlio 
disease  whUe  there,  and  would  run  a  mile  if  I  beard 
there  was  any  cliance  of  adding  to  any  collection. 
Tbe  island  is  a  fertile  spot  for  such  things  on  account 
of  the  ships  which  run  into  port,  and  also  for  the 
numerous  wrecks. 

The  great  thinj;  was  to  get  somethini;  off  the  Pala- 
tine, the  first  wreck  recorded,  and  which  happened 
asearly  as  17.^2,  and  about  which  there  are  many 
romantic  stories.  Whittier  1ms  written  a  beautiful 
poeji  in  memory  of  this  event,  but  according  to  Liv- 
ermore,  the  Block  Island  historian,  lie  does  great  in- 
justice to  the  honest  islandiirs.  Whittior  says  she 
was  brouicht  ashore  bv  false  lights  and  then  plun- 
dered by  pirates,  but  Livermore  claims  she  was  not 
wrecked  at  all,  but  merely  stopped  to  leave  some  of 
her  passongers  who  wore  In  a  uiaeased  and  dying  con- 
dition, and  that  there  is  the  record  of  such  a  ship 
being  lost  years  afterward  in  the  Bay  of  BengaL 
Which  story  is  true  of  course  will  never  be  known, 
but  it  seems  as  if  the  anf  lent  inhabitants  were  the 
best  authority,  and  they  all  say  sho  was  wrecked 
and  then  burned.  Tlie  ship  was  bringing  emigrants 
from  Holland  to  America,  and  all  the  passengers 
were  well  to  do*  The  Bhip  was  burned,  with  one 
woman  on  her,  wflo  rofustcf  to  leavo  her  treasure. 
The  one  survivor  of  the  many  passongers  was  a 
woman  called  Dutch  Kathem.  who  soon  after  her 
escape  married  a  negro  slave.  She  had  three  chil- 
dren, all  of  whoso  descendants  have  left  the  island, 
although  the  house  is  still  shown  where  Cradle,  her 
daughter,  once  lived.  Josie  and  myself  happened  to 
be  very  fortunato,  and  succeeded  in  securing  three  or 
four  pieces  off  this  "  Wrack."  as  the  aborigines  term 
it.  Ou  one  plate  Is  a  view,  evidently  Dutcli,  the 
others  have  Jtprays  of  blue  flowers  Bi)read  over  the 
entire  surface. 

We  enjoyed  ourselves  inunensely  going  to  the 
different  houses ;  tbe  inmates  wore  all  very  hospita- 
ble, and  most  of  them  willing  to  selL  At  one  place 
Joaio  went  twice  before  she  8ucceedt^d  in  getting  any- 
tbiuff,  and  then  the  ludy  said  "sbo  dimi't  suppose 
she'd  care  for  any  such  old  trash  as  that."  The  old 
trash  happened  to  be  a  beautiful  old-fashioned  India 
china  punchbowl.  We,  of  course,  bad  many  amus- 
ing incidents.  There  was  one  ancient  maiden  with 
small,  piercing  block  eyes,  a  large  nose, 
bordering  on  the  Rom.in,  and  a  mouth 
like  a  cork-screw.  She  had  a  mo;^  curious 
set  of  crockery,  including  eight  pieces, 
over  125  years  old.  It  had  a  whito  background, 
whleh  was  covered  with  green  figures  like  dragons. 
She  was  willlDg  to  sefi  the  lot  for  $25.  By  the 
time  we  reached  this  ulace  ourpfwkeits,  which  had 
begun  to  feel  ilstht.  rebelled  against  this  price.  So 
Josle  and  mysolf,  as  sweat  as  possible,  in  hopes  to 
move  her  stony  heart  to  pity,  suggested  that  she 
should  tireok  the  »et.  and  sUow  un  a  cup  and  saucer 
apiece  ;  but  In  vain  we  plt'sded.  She  fell  $^i  on  the 
lot.  and  after  that  was  as  ImmoN-ablo  as  granite.  At 
length,  after  much  debating,  we  decided  to  buy  .the 
entu-o  set.  But,  alas  1  the  next  day.  when 
wo  went  to  the  bouse,  tho  door  was  closed  in 
our  faces,  and  wo  wt-rc  told  that  she 
would  not  sell  for  love  or  niouey.  Crestfallen, 
wo  returned  home.  But  while  there  w  life  there  is 
hope,  and  our  busy  brains  soon  hit  upon  what  we 
thought  a  very  clover  plau.  There  was  one  of  our 
party  of  a  cool  and  deliberate  temperament^  and  upon 
ner  wo  pitched  to  cany  out  onr  little  design.  It  was 
that  she  should  go  and  offer  tho  "■  dragon  woman."  as 
wo  named  her  ou  account  of  Iter  crocker>-.  a  price 
lower  than  wo  had.  and  then  we  were  in  hopes  that 
she,  seeing  so  many  willing  to  buy  at  a  lower  price. 
would  jtunp  at  onr  offer.  But  no  ;  the  ancient  fe- 
male could  not  be  caught  in  any  such  trap.  and.  in 
order  to  avoid  further  i  importuniticH,  had  presented 
the  entire  set  to  her  niece- 
All  our  hopes  were  now  crushed,  and  we  submitted 
to  fate.  At  one  house,  where  I  bought  a  Palatine 
plate,  there  was  a  jug  which  must  novo  formerly 
t>een  used  for  water,  or  something  stronger.  It  was 
pottery  covered  with  blue  eu;imel,  with  leaves  and 
flowers  in  raistni  work.  In  th«  centre  was  a  crown, 
and  under  it  in  large  letters  O.  R-  This,  acconilng 
to  the  owner's  af^count,  was  taken  from  a  British 
man-of-war  during  the  stmegle  between  the  French 
and  English.  The  vessel  on  the  way  to  Canada 
touched  at  Block  Island.  This  was  the  time  of  tho 
battle  of  Quebec,  in  1702,  when  Wolfe,  be- 
ing commander,  was  killed.  On  the  neck, 
which  is  a  point  of  land  at  on<>  place  nearly 
separated  by  the  ocean  and  a  large  pond  from  the 
rest  of  tbe  island,  we  struck  a  mine  of  riches.  We 
drew  up  in  front  of  a  pleasant  house  and  asked  the 
lady  at  the  door  if  she  had  anj'thing  ancient.  She 
said  "  ves,"  but  nothing  she  was  willing  to  sell.  Our 
brave  fiearts  failed  us.  but  outwardly  we  were  calm. 
and  weakly  asked  ''if  wo  might  see  them."  She  said 
"O,  yes  ;"  so  out  we  jumped  and  warily  followed  into 
her  closet;  hero  was  a  st«)n' of  treasures.  Josle  im- 
mediately tf>ok  up  a  queer  little  tea-pot  and  I  seized 
a  mustard-cup.  After  .1  great  deal  of  inveigling  we 
persuaded  her  to  sell.  The  little  tea-pot  was 
used  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  when  no  one 
was  allowed  tea  but  the  old  people,  and  the  m\is- 
tjwrd'cup  was  equally  antique.  We  exchanged 
knowing  glances  as  we  embraced  our  treasures. 
Another  curious*  thing  we  purchased  at  the  same 
house  was  an  old  dipper,  beautifully  carved  by  hand, 
which  the  Captain  of  the  Ann  Hoj>e  had  made  for 
his  wife  on  his  way  home  from  India.  This  vessel 
was  wrecked  on  Block  Island  in  the  year  "1^06,  and 
is  the  first  of  what  the  historian  calls  modem  wrecks. 
We  found  various  other  curious  things,  including 
brass  candlesticks,  cups  and  saucers,  plates  and  tea- 
pots, painted  by  hand,  and  so  on.  I  need,  hardly  add 
that  as  the  feVer  Increased  and  the  news  sprei^ 
among  the  InhaBitants  the  prices  went  up  accoi^ 
Ingly,  and  I  fear  the  fortunate  owner  of  the  dragon 
crockery  will  scarcely  be  induced  another  season  to 
sell  for  $50.  _ 

PAINFUL  COVIIT  SCENE. 
The  Fall  River  (Mass.)  Sews  thus  describes  a 
painful  incident  in  a  court-room  in  that  city  on 
Friday  morning  last :  "  Peter  Boyle,  a  citizen,  64 
years  of  age,  and  possessed  of  a  comfortable  estate, 
bis  wife,  and  his  son,  a  strong,  healthy  young  man. 
were  arraigned  on  complaints  for  being  common 
drunkards.  The  evidence  disclosed  a  terrible  state 
of  things  in  the  family ;  everything  is  going  to  ruin 
from  the  use  of  rum :  the  proportv  is  being  squan- 
dered and  the  home  destroyed.  The  evil  has  existed 
for  a  long  time,  and  their  friends  flnaUy  interfered  to 
save  them  from  absolute  ruin.  The  father,  it  Is 
stated,  has .„ squandered  about  $6,000  worth  of  his 
property  during  drun£«n  debauches  within  the  post 
few  weeks.  He  acquired  most  of  his  monoy  in  the 
rum  business,  and  at  now  seems  to  be  going  in  the 
same  way.  The  yo'nng  man  was  sentenced  to  three 
months  in  jail,  and  the  father  and  mother  to  60  days 
each," 


SPORTIVE  SPARROWS. 
The  Kingston  .Freeman  thus  describes  the  an- 
tics of  some  birds  :  "  A  sparrow  certainly  baa  some 
idea  of  fan  in  his  head.  The  other  evening  a  small 
dog  up-town  made  up  his  mind  to  catch  a  few  of  the 
sparrows,  so  he  chased  the  birds  wherever  he  could 
find  one  on  the  gronnd.  Of  course  they  were  always 
too  quick  for  him,  but  as  he  ccntinued  his  exertions, 
the  sparrows  began  to  play  with  him  and  torment 
him.  Tliey  would  drop  just  behind  him,  and  under 
his  very  nose,  and  often  nm  some  distance  before 
thoy  would  shoot  out  of  his  reach.  The  more  frenzied 
tbe  dog  became,  the  saucier  were  the  sparrows,  until 
finally  the  canine,  turning  short  around,  struck  .  so 
close  to  one  of  the  birds  that  several  feathers  were 
left  on  the  ground,  and  then  the  whole  flock  gave  a 
cry  of  'take  core,'  and  left  for  a  safer  region." 

RATTLESNAKES  IN  SULLIVAN  COUNTY.- 
The  Monticello  Republican  of  the  24th  inst 
says :  *'  On  Saturday  last  H.  Van  0uzer  and  D.  D., 
Tompkins 'killed  19  rattlesnakes  on  the  Barrens  east 
of  the  old  Munn  Hotel — the  largest  having  12  rattles,^ 
and  the  next  largest  9 ;  the  others  *ere  smaller.  We 
understand  that  Mr.  Van  Dnzer  was  at  work  in  a 
lot  adjoining  the  road,  when  he  discovered  the  snakes 
— some  of  which  were  sunning  themselves,  and  oth- 
ers were  under  a  large  flat  stone.  A  '  slau^ter  of 
the  innocents'  immediately  followed.  WhUe  Mr. 
Van  I>uzer  was  thus  engaged  Mr.  Tompkins  hap- 
pened to  be  passing,  and  seeing  that  there  was  Uvelv

10  suites  were  found."

JOM  G.  WHITTIER. 


EAJRLT  LIFE  OF  TBE  QUAKES  POET. 
HIS  ANCESTRY  XSV  HOME — PRESENT  MANXER 

OF  LIFE  AND  METHODS  OF  WORK — INTEE- 

ESTINQ  PERSONAL  GOSSIP. 

From  the  BotUm  Serald,  Aug.  19. 
John  Greenwood  Whittier,  by  many  pro- 
nonneed  the  most  American  of  all  our  poets,  was 
bom  at  East  Haverhill,  Mass.,  (then  a  frontier  town.) 
in  December,  1807;  consequently,  next  December 
he  will  be  70  years  of  age.  His  parents  were  Quak- 
ers, and  the  social  atmosphere  of  the  pla^e  of  his 
birth  had  in  it  all  the  rigid  and  earnest  seriousness  of 
an  earlv  Puritan  neighborhood.  The  father  of  the 
poet  was  a  hard-headed,  practical  farmer,  whose 
good  sense  and  judgment  were  such  that  he  was 
elected  an  authority  in  all  matters  relating  to  tho 
town  government,  in  which  he  took  a  very  prominent 
part    Says  tbe  poet : 

"  A  prompt,  decisive  man,  no  breath 
Our  father  wasted." 

Mrs.  Whittier  was  a  lady  of  education,  whose  un- 
derstanding was  thus  rendered  considerably  superior 
to  her  httsband's.  She  had  a  beautiful  disposition 
and  was  one  of  those  ideal  mothers  to  whom  emi- 
nent men  are  wonttd  attribute  the  foundation  of 
their  greatness.  She  tmdouhtedly  exercised  a  pow- 
erful influence  upon  the  poet's  character  and  auhse- 
quent  career,  and  his  mind  retains  her  meraoiy  \rith 
wonderful  freshness  at  the  present  day.  Wlifttier's 
life  does  not  present  the  monotonous  biographical 
features  that  characterize  the  personal  historien  of 
most  of  our  literary  giants.  There  is  nothing  to  be 
said  about  his  college  career  as  8ho%ving  his  aptnes-s 
for  any  special  branch  of  letters  bftcause  he  never 
had  any,  his  only  Alma  Mater  l>eing  the  Haverill 
Academy,  an  institution  which  would  not  take  rank 
with  a  cpimtry  gramtnar-school  of  to-day.  His  bioy 
grapher  cannot  exercise  his  critical  conceit  by  com- 
paring his  educational  acquirements  or  knowledge  of 
foreign  language  and  literature  with  those  or  hlH 
conteniimraries  in  the  field  of  poesy,  for  the  reason 
that  he  Is  entirely  self-educated  and  knows  no  lan- 
gtiage  beyond  Ids  own.  His  librarj-  shelves  contahi 
only  Quaker  documents,  histories,  work-s  of  fiction, 
and  autograph  copies  of  books  prosented  to  him  by 
the  authors ;  there  is  probably  not  a  volume  written 
in  a  foreign  tongue  among  them. 

The  family  llbrar\'  consisted  of  tho  Bible,  Fox's 
Book  of  Martys,  a  dictionary  published  in  London  200 
years  prevlotisly,  a  volume  called  DamdicK,  which 
was  a  story  of  the  doings  of  King  David,  told  in 
rhyme,  by  somebody  contemporaneous  with  Milton :  a 
Bunyan's  PUffrim'a  l^ogrese,  and  iwrbfips  a  pamphlet 
or  two.  Out  of  these,  and  his  observations  and  re- 
flections on  Nature,  indulged  in,  may  be,  as  he.  liko 
Robert  Bums,  held  the  plow-handle,  grew  at  an  early 
age  the  inspiration  to  write  verses.  He  mustered  up 
sufficient  courage  one  day  to  send  a  poom;  anonym- 
ously, to  tho  ofiice  of  a  Newburyport  paper.- mlited  by 
William  Lloyd  (.Tarrison.  Garrison,  as  the  story 
goes,  found  it  where  the  post-rider  had  tucked  it. 
under  the  door,  and  after  reading,  decided  to  use  it. 
Several  others  followed  m  the  same  manper,  and  one 
day  Garrison  asked  the  post-rider  where  he  left  the 
papers  he  was  in  habit  of  taking  away  with  him  fr(»ni 
the  office  whenever  the  poems  were  printed.  Tlie 
rider  rep'ied  that  he  left  them  at  a  farm-house  in 
East  Haverhill  some  distance  from  the  road.  At 
Garrison's  request  he  made  his  directions  explicit, 
and  one  afternoon  the  then  obscure  anti-slavery  ad- 
vocate visited  the  "Whittier  household.  Here  he 
found  a  blushing,  ba-sliful  boy  of  1 0  years  or  so.  who. 
with  considerablo  trepidation,  acknowlodgevi  himself 
to  be  the  poet.  Gamson  had  a  serious  conversation 
with  his  father,  in  which  the  latter  told  bira  that  he 
couldn't  see  "the  use  of  .lohn's  dabblin*  in  verses," 
which  would  never  give  him  bread  »nd  butter  or  the 
practical  comforts  of  life,  (iarrison.  in  alarm,  en- 
loined  him  solemnly  to  in  no  wise  interfere  with  tho 
lad's  love  of  writing  poetrv,  and  t.n  give  him  tTie  ad- 
vantages of  education,  if  possible.  This  set  the 
farmer  to  thinking,  and  tbe  result  was  that  .lobn 
spent  the  next  two  yeare  in  tbe  Haverhill  Academy. 
After  leaving  the  academy,  at  the  age  of  1  **  years, 
he  obtained  a  position  teacl'iing  school  in  a  little  vil- 
lage in  West  Aniosbury,  callM  Birchy  Meadows.  He 
did  not  remain  here  hmg;  the  truth  is.  as  a  lufor  he 
was  a  lament.-ible  failure.  Of  mild,  retiring  diiipiisi- 
tlon  and  womanly  wavs.  bo  w,ia  nonuttcli  for  the 
wild,  harum-scarum  co^lectloS*  of  younesters  that 
comprised  his  sehooL  and  they  did  prettv  much  as  they 
pleased  with  him.  Wlien  hi.s'  brother  Matthew  car- 
ried his  resignation  to  the  Chairman  of  the  School 
Committee,  a  rough-hewn  but  good-he.'irted  butcher, 
the  latter  thus  expressed  his  regrets :  "  Has  .lohu 
got  to  go  I  I'm  sorry  for  th.^t,  'cos  he  w.x"?  a  first-rate 
tooterer."  Some  time  after  tbw,  at  the  age  of  i:2. 
he  was  in  Boston  editinc  th«  Ainnican  3fniiu/actvr,rr 
in  the  tariff  interest,  on  tho  side  of  protection,  (iar- 
rison, whom  he  loved  and  admin-d.  led  him  by  his 
example  into  anti-slavery  ways,  and  he  was  full  of 
thfr  dangerous  infection  even  at  that  early  age.  In 
1831  be  embalmed  his  obser\'ations  of  and  ac- 
quaintance wltb  the  social  economy  of  old 
Kew-England  in  a  volume  of  prosi*  en- 
titled Legends  of  Neic-Englaiul.  a  serl'-s 
of  sketches  devoted  to  Indian  and 
colonial  traditions  and  superstitions.  He  also  sent 
fortn  a  little  later  a  ston*  in  verse  entitled  "  Moll 
IMtcher,  the  Witch  of  Kah.snt."  Within  a  year  or 
two  following  he  published  bis  opinions  on  "  Tho 
Justice  and  Expediency  of  Slavery.  ConsiderM  with 
a  View  to  its  Abolition."  In  1S.54  he  representeti 
the  town  of  Haverhill  in  the  Legislature.  In  1  >*3o 
he  issued  the  poem'"Megg  Meg<ine,"  the  herr>  of 
which  was  chief  of  the  Saco  Indians  in  KitJT.  Gar- 
rison was  verj'  fond  of  his.  gifted  disciple,  and  his 
earnest  feiror  and  unwearied  labors  in  the  anti- 
slavery  cause  showed  bow  Whittier  returned  hi.s 
affection.  Rarely,  indeed,  have  there  be^-n  in  this 
world  two  more  devoted  friends  than  Whittier  and 
Garrison  since  the  old  days.  60  years  back,  when  th*> 
editor  of  the  Newburjiwrt  news  sheet  gave  the  first 

firactical  encouragement  to  the  sen.siiivp  heart  of  the 
ad  who  is  now  one  of  the  greatest  of  liring  poets. 
In  1^38  he  was  In  Philadelphia  conducting  tho  Pcnn- 
rylvania  Preeman.  a  paper  published  in  op 
poidtjon  to  slavery.  AHiile  engaged  in  this 
capacity  his  oflSce  was  sacked  ana  burned  by 
the  moD.  Mr.  Whittier  has  had  considerable  experi- 
ence with  mobs  and  their  peculiar  doings  at  one  time 
and  another,  having  been  prominent  in  the  case  men- 
tioned above,  and  also  in  the  anti-slaverj-  riots  at 
Boston  and  Concord,  N.  H.  Shortly  after  the  burn- 
ing of  his  office  he  was  elected  Seeretarj-  of  tbe  Anti- 
Slavery  Society,  and  edited  Its  reports.  Of  this  soci- 
ety he  saida  short  time  ago  in  a  private  letter  :  "'A 
mere  handful  of  us  came  together  from  Now-Eiig- 
landandthe  Middle  States  and  Ohio,  mostly  strangers 
to  each  other,  without  much  personal  consideration 
at  home,  and  utterly  unknown  in  the  strange  city  of 
Fbiladelphia,  where  we  met.  representini:  nothing 
but  a  few  newly-foiined  anti-slavery  associations, 
with  the  entii-e  influences  of  ■Church  and  .*^Jaie  f^ain.-!t 
us,  and  laid  the  foundation  of  a  society  which,  under 
God.  has  moved  the  world." 

Some  time  afttr  this  he  moved  to  Amesbury.  and. 
after  being  fairly  settled  there,  he  retU-ed  fnnn  news- 

f taper  and  public  work  of  all  Idnds.  and  during  the 
ost  30  years  of  his  life  he  has  devoted  himself  to 

literature  entirely.  His  cottage  is  a  plain  white 
plain  old-fashioned  house,    situated  oi^Fri end-street, 

about  a  mile 'from  the  Amesbury  line.  There  is 
nothing  about  It  to  attract  the  attention  of  passers- 
by.  It  has  a  simple  yard  in  front  without  orna- 
mentation, save  a  few  trees,  two  or  three 
lilac  bushes  and  a  stationary  vase  of 
flowers.  His  study  is  a  cosy  Uttle  room  of  middling 
dimensions. .-  A  cheery  open  fire-place,  with  the  old- 
fashidned  brass  andirons,  is  a  prominent  feature  of 

it ;  Indeed,  all  the  poets  seem  to  look  upon  stoves 
as  intolerable  innovations  and  pledged  enemies  to 
poesy.  Near  a  window  is  located  his  writing  table, 
which  is  upually  strewn  with  manuscript  and  writing 
materials,  very* rarely  including  books  of  reference  of 
any  kind — a  few  chairs,  some  simple  pictures  on  the 
wnJls  of  anti-slavery  acquaintances,  with  nere  and 
there  a  photograph  of  som,e  literary  or  personal 
friend.  His  book-cjises  are  roomy  and  w«U  filled. 
and  the  number  of  aato^aph  boolcs  sent  him  by  the 
authors  is  very  large.  LstiaUy  it  is  not  long  after  he 
conceives  a  poetical  idea  before  he  has  it  reduced  to 
writing.  He  only  writes  when  the  mood  seizes  him. 
and  then  he  writes  as  if  fired  with  inspiration,  losing 
all  consciousness  of  tense  and  things,  going  out-  of 
himself  as  it  were,  and  becoming  part  and  parcel  of 
his  subject.  His  first  draft  stiffers  little  subsequent 
alteration,  and  the  various  editions  of  his  works  rep- 
resent Utile  or  no  time  spent  in  revision.  If  a 
friend  suggests  a  grammarical  error  here  or 
there,  or  caBs  his  attention  to  an  offense  against 
taste,  the  poet  is  apt  to  quietly  investigate  It,  and  in 
the  next  edition  strike  it  out  or  amend  it ;  but  he 
doesn't  study  his  poems  with  a  view  of  detecting 
these  errors.  There  Is  something  rather  repulsive 
to  poets  about  this  kind  of  employment.  Longf^low 
invariably  has  John  Owen  do  all  the  hard  vrork  of 
'■  finishing"  his  poems.  Owen  revises  them,  punc- 
tuates them,  smooths  their  orfhography  if  it  happens 
to  be  a  little  rough,  etiggests  alterations,  and  relieves 
by  his  labors  the  i^^ed  poet  of  all  the  tiresome  and 
harassing  details  that  make  literary  work  such  grind- 
ing drudgery.  Whittier  is.  happily  for  himself,  what 
might  be  termed  a  spontaneous' poet.  He  absolutely 
writes  underthe  influence  of  something  like  inspira- 
tion. A  thotight  seizes  him.  He  does  not  mature  it 
by  slow- processes  and  an  infinite  number  of  inci- 
dental thotights  and  mental  finishing  tou'^es.  He 
seats  himself  at  his.  plain  little  writing  table,  takes ' 
up  his  pen.  and  puts  it  on  paper.  May.be  it's  a  p*)em 
of  four  or  five  short  stanzas  he  will  write.  He  doesn't 
have  to  strain  after  on  Idea  or  an  expression.  They 
tranquilly  come  to  him  as^ast  as  ho  needs  them,  and 
he  writes  them  down.  He  may  scratch  a  half  lino 
here  and  there  and  begin  agoia;  he  may  substi- 
tute one  word  for  another  that  does  not 
mean  enough,  but  there  is  no  strugele,  no 
nervous  fidgeting  about  with  the  legs;  no  bit- 
ing the  top  of  his  pen-handle  in  mental  agony:  uo 
waiting  for  the  sluggish  current  of  thought  to  be::r 
along  on  its  surf  ace  the  right  idea.  Whittier  "s  writ- 
ings nave  their  faults,  butjhere  are  msny  more  ele- 
gant writers  who  would  with  eager  .willingness  ex- 
change their  excellencies  for  his' faults,  could  tliey 
produce  popular  matter  with  his  ease  and  freedom. 
His  speech  is  charactarized  to  a  slight  extent  by  the 
peculiarities  of  Quaker  usage,  but  his  religious  \-iqws 
are  much  broader  than  the  Quaker  creed  in  its  liferal 
anplication.  He  has  never  enjoyed  the  most  robdst 
health,  but  his  presence  iias  nevertheless  a.  certain 
kind  of  power  which  may  be  the  resnlt  of  the  com- 
bined influences  of  mental  and  spiritual  strength. 
He  delights  to  saunter  alone  throrigh  unfrequented 
places  where  he  can  be  in  solitude  with  nature,  and 
fill  his  imagination  with  images  and  fancies,  concrete 
and  abstract.  This  faculty  furnishes  him  with  as 
much  enjoyment  as  it  did  20  years  ago ;  indeed, 
mentally  he  ^4f  not  an  old  man.  He  -  ha^  lived 
as  regularly  as  clock-work,  and  all  his  habits  have 
been  such  as  are  believed  by  medical  scienpo  to  con- 
duce to  perfect  mental  and  physical  health.  He  is 
tall  and  slender,  with  benevolent  couptenauce  and 
small  but  expressive  eyes.  He  dre^es  in  .n  t>\i:t  of 
black,  cut  in  Quaker  fashion,  He  w.alks  about  the 
country  considerably,  but  never  drives  out  any- 
where, and  cannot  be  coaxed  or  compelled  to  attend 
a  gathering  of  litterateurs  or  ex-anti-slavery  people, 
or  any  assembly  whatever.  He  doesn't  object  to 
fttkXS*  PKTiftt  oecauonal  visits  to  hun-but. 


they  mtist  be  sensible  or  behave  as  nearly  as  possibl* 
like  sensible  people,  otherwise  they  will  bore  him 
fearfully.  They  absolutely  must  not  speak  of  his 
works,  ror  just  as  soon  as  they  begin  to  speak  of  his 
great  poetic  gifts  they  are  rubbing  the  fur  the  wron^ 
way.  Mr.  Whittier  is  a  very  sensible  man  himself. 
He  thinks  very  little  of  his  works,  and  is  rather  sur- 
prised because  the  public  doesn't  agz«e  with  him. 

RECENT  CASE  OF  SAMADB  IN  INDIA, 


SACRIFICE  AXD  SELF-TORTURE-^-AK  OVBR- 
ABCNDANCB  OP  POPULATION— HOW  A 
3IAN  BURIED  HIMSELF  ALIVE  IN  A 
VAULT — A  GROSS  -  ATTEMPT  AT  IMPOS- 
TURE DISCOVERED. 
A  correspondent  writes  to  the  London 
Athencsum  of  Aug.  4  as  follows : 

"It  may  interest  some  of  your  readers  if  I  give  a 
brief  account  of  a  case  of  gamadk  which  has  recently 
occtirred  in  the  district  of  Kalra,  in  Grujarat.  The 
particulars  wore  furnished  to  me  by  Mr.  Frederick 
Sheppard,  the  energetic  Collector,. in  whose  camp  I 
staid  twice  during  my  Indian  travela.  *  *  *  Of 
cotirse,  leprosy  in  India,  as  In  other  Eastern  coun- 
tries, is  a  kind  of  living  death.  Lepers  are  ex- 
cluded from  society,  and  can  get  no  employment, 
and  they  often  gave  themselves  up  of  their  own 
accord  to  be  buried  alive,  the  motive  simplv  being 
a  desire  to  be  released  from  physical  suffering. 
This  was  called  performing  tamadlK  (Sanskrit, 
samcO/ii,  suspending  the  connexion  between  soul 
and  body  by  religiotis  abstraction.)  Sleeman  describes 
how  he  once  knew  a  very  resuectable  Hindu  gentle- 
man who  came  to  the  river  Narbada,  .attended  by  a 
lar^e  retinue,  to  perform  samadh,  in  consequence  of 
an  incurable  disease  under  which  he  labored.  After 
takins  leave  of  his  famUy  he  entered  a  boat,  which 
conveyed  him  to  the  deei>est  part  of  the  river.  He 
then  loaded  himself  with  sand,  and,  stepping  into  the 
water,  disappeared.  In  most  of  these  cases  the  land- 
able  humamty  of  our  Government  in  preserving 
bnmnn  life  has  given  rise  to  frush  evils  and  diffi- 
cultieK. 

"In  the  first  place,  population  is  increasing  npon 
us  in  a  degree  which  threatens  to  become  wholly  un- 
manageable. Then  widows  never  marry  again  :  not 
even  if  their  boy-husbands  die  leaving  them  widows 
at  the  age  of  6,  A  woman  is  supposwi  to  be  sacra- 
raentally  united  to  one  husband,  and  belongs  to  him 
forever.  Every  town,  every  villaire.  almost  every 
hou.se,  is  full  of  widows  who  are  debarred  from  all 
amusements,  and  converted  into  hottsehold  drudges. 
They  often  lead  b;id  lives.  Their  life,  liko  that  of 
the  Topers,  is  a  kind  of  liring  death,  and  they  would 
often  cheerfully  give  themselves  up  to  bo  burned 
alive  if  the  law  would  let  them.  Only 
tile  other  day  in  NepauJ.  where  bur  suprem- 
acy is  still  barely  recognized,  the  widows  of  Sir 
.Tung  Bahadur  became  Satis,  and  burned  themselves 
with  their  husband.  Tlien,  again,  the  increa.se  in 
the  number  of  girls  who  cannot  find  suitable  hus- 
liands  is  now  causing  much  embarrassment  in  some 
districts;  and  even  the  lepers,  whose  lives  we  pre- 
serve, involve  us  in  peculiar  difliculties.  These  un- 
fortunate creatures  often  roam  about  the  country, 
exacting  food  from  the  people  by  threatening  to 
touch  their  children.  Here  and  there  we  have  bnUt 
leper- villages — rows  of  cottages  imder  trees  devoted 
to  their  u.«w — and  we  make  the  towns  contribute  from 
local  funds  to  support  them,  while  charity  ekes  out 
the  mi-serable  pittance  they  receive.  -  »  »

Benares— that  is,  devotees  who  hold  their  arm&with 
clinched  fists  above  their  heads  for  years,  until  they 
become  shriveled  and  the  finger 'nails  penetrate 
through  the  back  of  their  hands.  Another  man  was 
pr<istrating  himself  and  measuring  every  inch  of  tho 
ground  \vith  his  body  round  the  liUl  of  Govardhan 
when  I  pas-sed.  Two  attempts  at  nanuidh  occurred 
in  Mr.  Sheppard's  district.  A  devotee  announced  his 
int<"ution  of  adopting  this  extraordmary  method  of 
securing  perfect  abstraction  and  beatitude,  and  was 
actually  buried  alive  in  the  neighborhood  of  a  vil- 
lage. His  friends  were  detected  by  the  villagers  in 
pouring  milk  dowTi  a  hollow  b.amboo  which  had  been 
arranged  to  supply  the  btiried  man  with  air  and  food. 
The  bamboo  was  removed,  and  the  Interred  man  was 
found  dead  when  hia  friends  opened  the  grave  shortly 
afterward. 

■■  The  other  attempt  is  still  more  recent,  and  I  will 
conclude  tliis  communication  by  giving  Mr.  Sheppard's 
own  account  of  it  almost  in  his  own-  words:  'As  I 
was  shooting  near  my  camp  one  evening,  a  mounted 
orderly  c  line -op  with  news  that  a  Bfiat  had  per- 
formed sain<uih  that  afternoon  In  a  neighboring  vil- 
lage, imd  that  there  was  much  consequent  excitement 
there.  Not  having  a  hor?e  with  me,  I  directed  the 
orderly  to  ride  off  to  the  village,  (picking  up  my 
Police  escort  as  he  passed  through  my  camp, )  and  to 
die  up  the  buried  man,  taking  into  custody  any  per- 
soiiii  who  might  endeavor  to  oppose  tiie  execution  of 
my  orders.  On  returning  to  my  camp,  I  ordered  the 
apprehension  of  all  those  who  had  assisted  in  tho 
mmndit.  and  soon  afterward  received  areport  thatthe 
man  had  l>een  actually  buried  in  a  vault  in  his  own 
bouse,  but  had  been  taken  out  alive.  He  was, 
however,  very  weak,  and  diel  the  following 
morning.  It  was  then  reported  to  me  that  the 
limb.;,,  though  cold,  had  not  stiffened,  and  the 
I>eopIe.  ready  as  of  old  to  be  deceived,  and  always  in- 
oliued  to  attribute  the  smallest  departure  from  the 
ordinary  conrso  of  events  to  supematnal  agency,  de- 
clared that  the  Bhat  was  not  dead,  but  lying  In  the 
Kitjaadh  trance.  There  was,  however,  no  pulse,  and, 
as  it  WHS  clear  that,  even  if  the  supposition  of  tho 
\-inagers  was  correct,  medical  treatment  would  be 
desirable,  I  sent  the  body  In  a  cart  to  the  nearest  dis- 
pensarj-.  distant  some  six  or  seven  miles,  and  in  due 
time  received  a  certificate  of  death  from  the  hospital 
BssLstant  in  charge  of  that  institution,  together  with 
a  report  of  a  jwst-mortem  examination  of  the  body, 
which  showed  that  death  had  re.»sulted  from  heart 
disea.'»e.  Meanwhile  I  visited  the  village  and  ascer- 
tained the  following  facts. 

•' ■  Tlie  decejised  was  a  man  in  fairly  comfortable 
circumstances,  and  with  some  relirious  pretensions. 
It  was  well  known  that  he  aspired  to  a  still  higher 
reputation  for  sancitv,  and  that  with  this  riew  he 
had  f((r  several  months  been  contemplating  samadh. 
The  proper  date  for  this  rite  had  been  finidly  settled 
after  many  solemn  ceremonies,  and  the  due  observ- 
ance of  fasting,  prayer,  and  charity.  On  the  after- 
noon fixed  for  the  xavuuUi  he  assembled  the  villagers, 
and  told  them  that  it  had  been  imparted  to  him  in  a 
vision  that  the  Deity  reqtiired  him  to  pass  six  weeks 
in  religious  abstraction,  and  that  he  felt  compellod  to 
obey  the  dirine  command,  and  to  remain  in  thevatdt 
prepared  for  him  during  that  period.  He  then 
produced  and  worshijied  a  small  earthen  vessel 
containing  the  sacred  Tnlsi  plant,  and  afterward 
carefully  planted  therein  20  grains  of  barley,  tell- 
ing the  \'illagers  to  watch  for  their  growth,  as  it 
had  been  revealed  to  him  that  the  grains  repre- 
sont-ed  his  life.  If,  at  the  end  of  the  six  weeks, 
the  grains  had  sprouted,  the  villagers  were  to  under- 
stand that  tbe  Bhat  was  still  alive.  He  ^Au  then  to 
be  rem^ed  from  the  -  vault  and  woTFhiped  as  a 
saint.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  germination  had  not 
taken  place,  they  wore  to  understand  that  th©  Bhat . 
was  dead  also,  and  the  vault  was  in  that  cam  to  be 
permanently  bricKed  np,  and  the  Tulsi  planted  over," 
the  grave.  After  giring  these  directions,  the  devotee 
recited  some  Mantras  and  entered  the  vatilt,  bidding 
farewell  to  the  world,  and  declaring  his  belief  that 
nis  life  would  be  miraculously  preserved.  The  vatOt . 
was  then  roofed  over  with  boards,  and  plastered  ■ 
thickly  with  mud.  About  two  hours  after  this  event 
he  was  removed  from  the  vault  by  the  Police  under 
mv  orders,  and  placed  in  the  veranda,  the  house  it- ' 
self  being  locked  up. 

•'  'After  ascertaining  the  above  particulars,  I  caused 
the  house  to  be  opened,  and  then  discovered  that  a 
pros*  attempt  at  imposture  had  been  practiced.  The 
crave  was  then  about  three  feet  deep,  being  a  hole 
dug  in  the  floor  of  the  inner  room  of  the  house.  The 
wall  of  the  room  formed  one  side  of  the  vault.  The 
roof  over  the  latter  was  a  climisy  structure,  and  had 
been  partly  demolished  to  allow  of  the  removal  of 
the  devotee.  As  usual  in  India,  the  only  light  ad- 
mitted to  the  room  was  through  the  door,  and  the 
tin  substantial  nature  of  the  roof  was  not  likely  to 
attract  the  attention  -of  the  villagers-  But  I  satis- 
fied myself  that  the  occupant  of  the  \*ault  mifht, 
with  great  ease,  have  demolished  the  covering  which 
was  supposed  to  shut  Mm  off  from  the  world. 
The  vamt  itself  was  somewhat  dark.  I  entered  it 
in  order  to  ascertain  how  much  space  had  been 
allotted  to  tho  occupant.  I  found  therein  the  rosary 
of  tlio  deceased,  ana  the  chaplet  of  flowers  which 
he  had  worn  before  his  self-immolation.  There 
was  sufficient  room  for  me  to  sit  in  tolerable  com* 
fort.  On  one  side  of  the  vatUt  I  felt  a  small 
wooden  plank  apparently  let  into  the  wall^  and  on 
obtaining  a  light  I  found  that  a  trap-door  about  a  foot 
square  had  been  ingeniotxsly  contrived  to  communi- 
cate with  the  other  room  of  the  house.  The  trap- 
door was  so  hung  as  to  open  inward  toward  the 
vault,  at  the  niaaanre  of  the  inmate.  On  going  into 
the  outer  room,  into  which  commtuiicatlon  haa  thus 
been  opened.  I  found  that  a  row  of  the  laige  earthen 
jars,  which  Horace  would  have  called  ampkorm,  and 
wkicli  are  used  in  India  to  store  grain,  had  been  ar- 
ranged against  the  wall.  The  trap-door  into  the 
vault  was  effectually  concealed  by  them,  and  the 
Bup^dy  of  air,  food,  and  water  to  the  impostor  within 
tluis  cleverly  prorided  for.  The  arrangement  was 
neatly  contrived,  and  was  notlikelyto  have  attracted 
suspicion.  Had  the  Bhat  been  a  strong  man,  and  in 
good  health,  he  might,  without  any  &nger  to  life, 
and  with  only  a  minimum  of  discomfort,  have 
emerged  triumphantly  after  his  six  weeks'  samadh^ 
and  have  earned  a  wide  reputation.  But  the  excite- 
ment and  fasting  were  too  much  for  him.*  " 


CA^3  AND  PRATERS  FOR  A  HORSE. 
The  Dubuque  (Iowa)  Times  tells  the  follow- 
ing story  on  trustworthy  authority,  as  it  claims :  "  A 
widow  residing  ou  Whisky  Hill  had  a  horse  which 
she  wanted  to  selL  She  entrusted  the  sale  to  a 
gentJeman  friend,  one  Tom ,  a  shrewd  finan- 
cier and  an  honest  man.  Tom  found  a  man  from 
Wisconsin,  a  preacher,  who  took  a  fancy  to  the 
widow's  hoi-se.  Tom  asked  $125  for  it.  The 
preacher  offered  $75.  Tom  offered  zo  '  split  the  dif- 
fer.' but  the  preacher  would  not  *  spUt,'  Tom  knew 
the  animaj  was  really  worth  about  $25,  but  thotight 
if  he  made  any  morej^oncessions  it  would  look  like  a 
confession  that  the'price  he  had  at  first  asked  was 
extortionate ;  so  he  cudgeled  his  brain  for  a  way  out 
of  the  difficulty.  He  agreed  to  take  $100  for  the 
Iiorse  ;  ^75  in  cash,  and  the  other  ^25  in  pravers  for 
his  temporal  and  eternal  welfare,  to  bo  sent  heaven-

The  Baptist  Churches  in  China  correspond 
with  each  other  annually.  Accurding  to  tha 
letters  of  1876,  there  are  20  churches  fii  China,

erara  and  Stam,  making  in  all  25  cJburches, 
with  1,502  communicants.  -  Tho  number  of 
baptisms  was  187. 

Sixteen  Presbyterian  churches .  received

Bishop  Haven  is  still  suffering  from 
malarial  fe^'er  contracted  in  Africa.  He  tlnis 
describes  it :  '•  An  African  forest  was  growing 
up  within  me,  the  tops  whereof  were  made  visi- 
bfc.  Wlien  the  scrapings  from  the  roots  of  the 
tongue  were  placed  under  a  microscope,  their 
roots  wero  Ui  the  spleen  and  liver.  Black 
specks  moving  swiftly  uo  and  down  these  fema 
and  gross  trunks  and  branches  were  probably 
monkeys  leaping  from  tree  to  tree  of  this  inward 
African  forest." 

The  Missourians.  (High  Church  Luther- 
ans.) who  are  increasing  very  rapidly,  carry  ou 
their  educational  work  in  three  associated  in- 
stitutions. The  classical  department  is  at  Fort 
Wayne,  Ind.,  the  Theological  Seminary  at  St. 
Louis,  and  another  Theological  Seminary,  more 
practical,  though  less  extensive  and  scientific  in 
Its  curriculum  than  the  one  at  St.  Louis,  is  at 
Springfield.  III.  There  is  also  ant>ther  institu- 
tion at  Addison,  111.,  designed  for  tho  training  of 
teachers  for  parochial  schools. 

The  Examiner  and  Chronicle  "having 
charged  that  Prof.  Simford  was  ••  kicked  "  out 
of  the  Syracuse  Unive^ty  (Methodist)  because 
be  was  a  Baptist,  the  answer  is  made  upon 
authority  that  such  irnot  the  fact.  There  was 
no  dissatisfaction  among  the  Alumni  as  aUejred, 
and  the  fact  that  he  was  a  Baptist  operated  in 
favor  of  liis  retention.  "  The  rea.sons  which 
led  to  his  resignation  were  not  different  from 
those  which  in  many  cases  have  caused  the 
resignation  of  ilethodist  Professors  in  Heth« 
odiss  colleges." 

A  novelty  in  American  Presbytjerian  his- 
tory is  the  election  of  a  layman,  Dr.  William 
Eldmer,  a  ruling  eIder,as,iJoderator  of  the  West 
Jersey  Presbytery.  As  the  directory  of  the 
Presbyterian  CThurch  requires  that  Presbyteries, 
like  Bynods  and  tlie  General  Assembly,  shall  be 
opened  with  preaching,  the  Moderator  appointed 
a  minister  to  do  the  duty  usually  discharged  by 
the  Moderator.  There  were  times,  in  the  early- 
history  of  the  Church  of  Scotland,  when  ruling 
elders  were  called  to  be  Moderators  of  church 
courts,  but  it  is  something  new  in  the  practice 
of  modem  Presbyterianism. 

The  Watchman  is  of  the  opinion  thatman; 
of  the  converts  of  Moodv  and  Sankey's  meetings 
iu  Boston  have  been  gathered  into  the  churehes. 
The  churches  of  its  own  denomination  (Baih 
tist)  have,  it  savs,  been  benefited  by  the  revi- 
v^l — ^not  oiUy  thosean  Boston,  but  all  in  New- 
Sft^land.  'The  Watchman  believes  that,  not- 
withstanding some  adverse  criticism,  the  revi- 
valists would  be  as  heartilv  received  a  second 
time  in  any  of  the  cities  they  have  visited  as 
they  were  the  first.  It  is  said  to  be  Mr.  Moodv's 
intention  not  to  visit  any  of  the  great  cities 
next  Winter,  but  work  in  the  villages  and  towuA 
of  New-England.  ., 

The  Free  Congregational  Church  of  Flor- 
.ence,  Mass.,  which  belongs  to  the  radical  ning 
of  the  Unitarian  denomination,  has  a  large  and 
fiourishlng  Sunday-school.  Tbe  school  is  opened 
with  singing  and  readings  of  poetry  or  prose, 
the  latter  embracing  extracts  of  history  or 
science,  and  selections  from  moralists — p^an 
as  well  as  Christian.  One  class  is  devoted  to 
the  study  of  Shake.speare,  another  of  Milton's 
Paradise  Lnirt,  and  another  of  book-keening. 
There  are  also  classes  in  historv.  zoology,  and 
drawing.  Neither  prayer  nor  liible  reading  is 
used  in  the  regular  exercises,  and  the  Bible  is 
"placed  on  the  level  of  other  sacred  writings. 

The  Supreme  Court  of  Kew-Hainpshire 
has  delivered  a  decision  of  interest  to  Congre- 
gational Churches.  The  suit  was  brought  by 
.the  minority,  who  adhered  to  the  parish  at 
Francestown,  to  compel  tbe  majority,  who -had 

gone  off  to  organize  another  Church  and  taken 
le  property  along,  to  restore  the  communion 
^service.  The  judgment  of  the  court  was  against 
the  complainanl^f^.  the  point  of  the  decision 
.being  that  there  is  no  necessary  connection  of 
Church  and  parish,  and.  according  to  Congre. 
gational  u.wges,  the  Church  may  at  any  time 
sever  its  connection  with  one  parish  and  attach 
Itself  to  another,  or  form  a  new  one  at  pleasure. 

It  is  said  that  St.  Michael's  Church,  Marble- 
head,  Mass.,  is  the  oldest  Episcopal  church  now 
standing  in  New-England.  It  was  built  in  1706 
of  material  brought  from  England.  It  has  a 
reredos ;  an  ancient  chandelier,  the  gift  of  John 
Elbildge,  of  Bristol ;  a  nulpit  of  a  quaint,  wine- 
glass pattern :  a  graveyard  about  it,  and  a  place 
of  burial  beneath  it.  Gov.  Nicholson,  of  bouth 
Carolina,  was  one  of  its  founders,  and  its  second 
Rector  was  the  clergyman  who  married  Mrs. 
Custis  to  George  Washington.  The  boy  choir, 
which  attained  a  remarkable  pitch  of  exceltuee 
at  one  tinae,  is  a  thing  of  the  past,  and  the  sing- 
ing is  now  entirely  congreational,  led  by  the 
Kector  as  precentor,  and  supported  by  tho 
organ. 

The  Primat*  of  Scotland,  the  Bishop  of 
Moray,  bears  willing  testimony  to  the  mission- 
ar\-  activity  of  the  Russian  Church  :  ••  Euro- 
pean ignorance  of  Russia  has  led  to  much  in- 
justice being  done  to  the  Russian  Church,  and 
because  onr  missionaries  have  not  frequently  '' 
fallen  in  with  Russian  missionaries  m  the 
course  of  their  labors,  they  have  concluded 
that  that  Church  was  asleep.  It  would  be  well, 
however,  if  the  English  Church,  with  all  its 
ad\'antage8,  could  show  comparatively  as  muc^ 
successful  work  done  by  h6r  in  India  as  the 
venerable  Innocent  could  show  among  tn© 
heathen  nations  of  tho  vast  Russian  Empire." 
Russia  is  not  neglecting  her  missionar}-  duties 
among  her  heathen  subjects. 

Rev.  Mward  de  Pressens^,  of  Paris,  writes 
that  "  Religions  libetty  in  Prance  is  about  to 
pa.ss  through  a  sorrowful  eclipse.  It  is  evident 
that  the  bill  proposed  by  me  to  tbe  National  As- 
sembly, and  which  was  taken  up  again  by  my 
friends  in  the  existing  Chamb^  of  Deputies, 
will  be  set  aside  for  a  long  time.  It  will  become 
very  dlfflcult  to  carry  on  any  evanc^Ucal  mis- 
sionary work,  at  least  outside  of  the  great  towns. 
I  lately  received  a  most  interesting  call  from 
some  thoughtful  meti,  who,  weary  of  Catholi- 
cism, were  convinced  that  it  must  be  over- 
thrown, not  by  skepticism,  but  byfa  true  and 
earnest  faith.  They  invited  me  to  come  and  ex- 
plain to  them  my  own  evangelicjkl  convictions. 
The  day  following,  May  16,  they  wrote  to  me  to 
say  that  the  proposed  discussion  would  now  be 
in^>ossible.  Only  this  morning  there  has  sp- 
peared  an  extraordinary  circular  from  the  Mil: 
later  of  tlie  Interior  on  the  subject  of  colportagi?,

haadnoe  been  taken  under  the  wing  of  the  State  4uid

State  normal  Bchoola,  to  carry  out  .the  Ofiwego  system, 
founded  by  spetial  net  of  onr  State  IjogisUmre. 

The  statement  of  Mr.  Sh«ddon  has  been  Indoraedf  after 
a  careful  examination  of  my  plan,  by  the  entire  faculty 
of  the  celebrated  Training  School  for  Teachera  above  ro- 
feixed  tt^-^ippended  to  lix.  Eh^don's  atatemest  below. 

0SWZ90,  Jan.  13, 1^63. 

Thia  is  to  certify'  that  I  hare  examined  with  some  care 
the  syatem  of  representing  the  sounds  of  the  language 
by  phonetic  characters,  as  presented  by  Mr.  T..  D.  Kel* 
logg,  and  I  bellere  Mr.  KeHogg's  notation  to  be  a  simple. 
phUosophlc,  and  eorrect  representation  of  these  Bounds, 
BHipUcabie  alike  to  all  languages  It  orereomea  many 
objections  broo^t  against  the  somewhat  Imperfect 
alphabets  which  have  hitherto  been  presented.  I  mm. 
confident  ehlldren  ^^n  be  tnn^t  to  read  and  spell  by  this 
plan  with  far  more  ease  than  by  the  common  methods, 
and  with  great  saving  of  tbne.  I  have  no  hesitation  In 
recommending  thia  plan  to  the  attention  of  teachera 
and  school  olBcers.    Respectfully, 

E.  A.  SHELDON,

■re  on  the  profcnuntBe  to  li«  extended  to  the  British 
long-range  team  took  place  y^esterdaj.  A  tel^raia 
was  receiTed  from  Qaarmntiae  shortly  before  noon 
by  the  committee  of  seven  of  the .  National  Rifle  As- 
sociation ansonndng  that  the  City  of  Bichmond  had 
been  "  sighted."  Accor^ngly  the  Kcntlemen  started 
for  the  ateam-Jbpat  Kelson  K.  HopkinB.  which  had 
been  placed  at  tfae'r  disposal  by  the  Qosrantioe  Com- 
missioncrB,  and  which  was  moored  off  the  stone  pier 
at  t^e  Battery.  A  larse  number  of  invited  goests 
had  already  assembled  on  the  dock,  and,  on  the  ar* 
rival  of  the  committee,  the  party  went  aboard  and 
the  boat  headed  for  Governor's  Island,  where  the 
Tnlted  States  )  and  was  taken  on  toarl.  The  little 
steamer  was  desked  witii  buntins  from  stem  to  stem. 
.  The  British  Umon  Jack  was  flying  from  the  mast- 
head at  the  bow,  while  Irish,  German,  and  French 
flags  floated  amidships,  and  the  8tars  and  Stripea 
decorated  the  stem  of  the  steamer.  Capt.  W.  C- 
Casey  had  entire  charge  of  the  reception,  and,  as  he 
had  fully  corop'eted  .his  plans, before  starting,  every- 
thing worked  s-noctbly.  After  the  mnsicians had  been 
taken  on  board,  no  time  was  lost  in  getting 
off.  The  band  was  stationed  on  the  npper 
<Ieck,  where  it  played  lively  music  all  the  way  down, 
the  bay.  At  1:15  o'clock  along  streak  of  black 
smoke  was  eef'n  in  the  distance,  which  the  pilot  of  tb& 
Hopkins  j,r>r.ounced  to  be  that  of  the  City  of  Rich- 
mond, whose  rol  }ra  he  could  discern  thr:ueh  his  glass. 
The  two  steamers  met  opposite  the  Hospital-ship,  when 
the  little  mountain  howHzer  on  board  the  Hopkina 
roared  oat  a  welcome,  while  the  pilot  blew  three 
blasts  of  his  whistle,  and  Sergt.  McHn^h,  In  the 
atem  of  the  boat,  dipped  tl  e  uatioBal  colors.  The 
aaluto  was  responded  to  on  board  the  steam-ship  by 
three  blasts  of  the  whistle  and  the  dipping  of  her 
colors.  Side  by  aide  the  two  boats  aaileti  up  the  bay 
to  Quarantine,  where  both  came  to  anchor,  and  the 
Health  Officer  boarded  the  City  of  Bichmond.  His 
Investigation  was  a  short  one,  and  then  the  Hopkins 
went  .ilougside :  the  steamer's  gang-plank  was 
thrown  out,  and  Capt.  Casey  went  aboard  to  meet 
the  British  team.  Sir  Henry  Halford  met  him  at 
the  gangway,  and  not  far  behind  bim  were  Messrs. 
Milner.  Greenhill,  Evans,  and  Rigby,  whom  the 
crowd  at  once  recognized  and  saluted  with  three 
cheers  and  a  " tiger."  a  kr.ot  of  Seventh 
Regiment  boys  winding  np  the  shout  with 
a  "sky-rocket."  Capt.  Uasey  handed  Sir 
Henry  his  card,  and  informed  him  that  he  had  the 
honor  to  represent  the  Katlonal  Rifle  Association  as 
Chairman  "of  the  Reception  Committee,  and  re- 
quested the  British  party  to  go  on  board  the  little 
sttflimer,  where  a  formal  reception  would  take  place. 
Sir  Henry  accepted  the  m\itation,  and  the  riflemen 
picked  up  their  guns  and  clambered  down  the  steep 
gang- plank  to  the  deck  of  the  Hopkins.  Here  they 
were  met  bv*  Judge  Stanton,  and  the  other  members 
of  th'^  committee — GJen.  Wylie,  Col.  Wingate.  C-oi. 
f^cott.  and  Capt.  Story — wno  escoited  them  to  the 
after  deck.  Judge  Stanton  then  addressed  them  as 
joUows  :

of  the  Atlantic  as  it  Is  to  those  of 
ynor  o-vm  Wimbledon  and  Dollymount  on

Twenty-third-street  a  heavy  shower  of  rain  com- 
menced falling,  which  made  the  decks  wet  and  slip- 
pery, and  gave  s  cheerless  aspect  to  affairs.  Car*

A  SEW  DEPAUTURE  IN  SWIXDLIXG, 


EMPLOYING  UNDERTAKERS   TO  TAKE  CHARGE 
OP     BOGUS     DEATU      CASES,     AKD      THBK 
BORROWING  MO>"EY  FROM   THEM  TO  PAT 
FOR  DEATH  |«0T1CES — HOW  THE  SCHEME 
WAS  DISCOVERED. 
Dr.  W.  De  F.  Day,  Sanitary  Superintendent, 
reported  yesterday  at  the  Central  Police  Office  that  a 
numbei  of  undertakers  in  this  City  had  been  swin- 
dled by  a  new  scheme  to  '•raise  the  wind."    The 
plan  of  operation,  it  appears,  is  to  employ  the  under- 
taker to  superintend  the  preparations  for  a  funeral 
of  an  alleged  dead  man.  at  the  same  time  showing  an 
apparently  genuine  burial  certificate.    The- swindler 
then  borrows  $2  or  ^3  from  the  undertaker  for  the 
aTOwed  purpose  of  paying  for  an  advertisement  in 
the  Herald.    The  undertaker,  on  going  to  the  house 
designated,  discovers,   to  his  surprise,   that  he  has 
been  swindled.  ^, 

A  number  of  undertakers  have  called  at  the  Bureau 
of  Vital  Statistics  within  the  past  few  days  with  these 
bogrns  death  certificates,  on  which  they  wished  to  get 
burial  permits,  and  it  was  through  these  frequent  ap- 
plications that  the  swindle  first  came  to  the  knowl- 
edge of  Dr.  Day.  'The  latest  case,  reported  yesterdav. 
Isthatof  Mr.  P.  Cauldwell.  an  undertaker  of  No.  1.3«-i 
Broadway,  who  says  that  a  tall,  stout  man,  dressed 
in  a  gray  suit,  called  ou  him  on  Friday 
and  handed  him  a  certificate  of  death 
of  Manraret  Joyce,  aged  55,  who  It  was 
stated  in  the  document  had  died  of  consumption  at 
No.  311  "West  Thirty-sUth-street,  The  certificate 
purported  to  have  heeu  signed  by  H.  Campbell, 
M.  D..  of  No.  255  West  Forty-socond-street.  The 
swindler  left  orders  for  the  funeral,  and  borrowed  $2 
from  the  ondertaSter  for  the  insertion  of  the  death  no- 
tice ha  the  Herald  until  he  could  draw  the  money  from 
a  savings  bank.  On  going  to  the  address  named  In 
the  certificate,  Mr.  Canldwell  found  that  there 
was  Ido  death  on  the  premises.  It  is  rumored  that 
the  authors  of  this  scheme  are  those  who  were  con- 
cerned in  what  was  known  as  the  ''undertakers' 
ring  "  at  the  Coroners'  office,  formed  by  a  reporter 
who  formerly  represented  a  morning  journal  at 
Police  Head -quarters,  his  messenger,  and  a  firm  of 
undertakers  In  the  Bowery,  The  object  of 
the  undertakers  was  to  secure  early  In- 
formation of  suicides  or  sudden  deaths,  fatal 
accidents.  Sec.,  reported  by  the  Police  to  the 
Central  Office,  so  an  to  enable  them,  by  representing 
themselves  as  the  "  Coroners'  undertakers,  '*  to  procure 
from  the  friends  of  the  deceased  an  order  for  the 
funeraL  This  information  was  furnished  by  the  re- 
porter and  his  messensrer,  and  for  which  they  re- 
ceived a  commission  on  each  funeral  obtained 
through  their  azemry.  This  "ring"  was  broken  up 
recently  by  the  discharge  of  both  the  reporter  and 
his  messenger,  and  it  is  alleged  that  they  nave  since 
engaged  in  the  above  questionable  enterprise.     .

BOAT-LOADS  OP  OPFAL  AND  PtTTRID  CAR- 
CASSES IN  THE  TRACK\  OP  EXCURSION 
STB:AM-B0ATS — CO.HPLAIi(TS  BT  PASSEN- 
GERS  TO    BAY   RIDOE.     / 

The  Steam-boat  landing  at  Bath,  Long  Island, 
every  morning  receives  thousands  of  passengers 
bound  for  the  seashore  by  way  of  the  railroad  end- 
ing there,  and  from  many  of  these  passengers,  par- 
ticularly those  of  delicate  health,  sickly  children,  and 
sensitive  women,  loud  complaints  have  recently  been 
heard  of  a  nuisance  which,  It  is  asserted,  might  be 
easily  remedied,  but  which  Is  persistently  continued 
by  those  who  are  responsible  for  It,  regardless  of  the 
offense  which  it  gives.  The  offeuding  vessel  is  the 
Argo,  sometimes  called  "Frank  Swift's  steam-yacht,'* 
and  it  la  used  by  a  rendering  company  in  tranaiwrt- 
ing  offal  and  carcasses  from  the  City  to  Barren  Isl- 
«id.  For  several  days  past  it  has  aoparently  se- 
lected the  morning  hour,  when  excursion  boats  were 
landing  at  Bay  Ridge,  to  paddle  leisure- 
ly along  in  the  course  of  the  excursion  steam- 
boats, leaving  as  it  passed  a  sickening  and  overpow- 
ering stench,  which  lineered  long  nfter  the  dlsirusting 
vessel  had  disappeared.  On  Friday  morning  at 
10  o'clock  it  camtf  along,  close  in  shore,  and  stopped, 
for  some  reason,  near  the  dock,  and  just  in  the  way 
of  the  D.  R.  Martin  and  Empire  State.  Both  of 
these  steam-boats  were  well  loaded,  the  Empire  State 
having  scarcely  less  than  2.OO0  passengers  on  board. 
The  Argo  was  filled  up  with  all  manner  of  pes- 
tiferous filth,  in  barrels  anU  otherwise,  stowed 
away  In  the  after  part  of  the  boat,  and 
ou  her  forward  deck  there  was  a  heap  of 
carcases]  of  horses  and  other  animals,  thrown  in 
with  their  swollen  and  festeriufir  bodies  exposed  to 
the  sight  of  all.  The  effluvia  that  rose  from  this 
mass  was  deadly  in  its  offensiveness,  and  many 
women  and  children  became  nauseated  by  the  spec- 
tacle and  attending  odors,  while  men  did  not  by  any 
means  enjoy  the  situation.  When  the  Argo 
moved  on,  the  steamboats  were  all  able 
to  land,  but  tlie  sickening  stench  that  re- 
mained was  so  baleful  in  its  effects  as  to 
spoil  the  enjoyment  of  many  persons  who  were  on 
their  way  to  Coney  Island.  It  was  determined  by 
some  of  those  on  board  the  excursion  boats  that  an 
attempt  would  be  made  to  compel  the  Argo  to  go 
down  the  Bay  at  an  hour  which  would  not  prove 
detrimental  to  the  health  of  thousands,  or,  at  all 
events,  to  convey  its  load  so  that  it  shall  not  be  an 
offense  to  the  eyes  and  no«es  of  pleasure-seekers. 

BJTDDEK  DEATH  FROM  HE  AST  DISEASE. 
A  aid  case  of  sadden  death  from  organic 
diseasew  the  heart  occurred  on  Thursday  afternoon 
last,  a^the  residence  of  Mr.  John  Freeman,  No.  635 
BnQer-street,  Brooklyn.  The  name  of  the  unfortu- 
nate victim  was  Mr.  Charles  F.  Potter,  a  real  estate 
broker,  aged  33  years,  and  residing  at  No.  697  But- 
lerstreet.  It  seems  that  on  Thtunday  last  a  little 
daughter  of  Mr.  Freeman,  who  had  been  sick  a  short 
time,  died,  and  that  Mr.  Potter,  who  was  very 
fond    of    children,     cut    eome    flowers      from     his 

Srden  and  carried  them  to  the  house  of

EXAMINATION  OF  THE  PBISONEfRS, 

TESTIMONY  OP  CHIBP  OF  POL'ICE  JAMES 
M'dONOUOH  and  others  —  WTLUAM 
CARRERAR  AKD  JOHN  H.  HXTESTED  RS- 
MAITDED  IK  DEFAULT  OP  BAIL — JOHN 
J.  CANNON  DISCHARGED  —  WHAT  THE 
PRISONERS  SAT— WHO  IS  OARRERAR  f 
Contrary  to  expectation  there  waa  no  large 
crowd  assembled  yesterday  in  the  Tomba  PoUca 
Court  to  listen  to  the  examination  in  the  ease  of  the 
alleged  bond  forgers,  William  Cairerxr,  John  H. 
Huested,  and  John  J.  Cannon.  The  excitemeut  that 
was  -visible  on  the  previous  day  seemed  to  have  en- 
tirely disappeared.  A  tedious  delay  occurred 
in  opening  the  proceedings.  The  case  had 
been  set  down  for  11  o'clock,  but  it 
was  fully  two  hours  afterward  before  the  clerk  an- 
nounced that  he  was  ready.  The  affidavits  had  not 
been  made  out  in  time,  owing  to  a  misunderstanding 
between  the  Clerk  of  the  court  and  Assistant  Dis- 
trict Attorney  Herring— the  former  thought  that  the 
latter  would  draw  np  the  necessary  papers,  but  Mr. 
Herring  did  not  do  so,  believing  that  it  was  the 
Clerk's  business  to  prepare  the  documents.  It  waa 
doubtful  In  which  room  the  case  would  be  heard,  hut 
when  Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring  and  the 
Court  Clerk,  with  the  detectives  and  the  prisoners, 
were  seen  filing  into  the  room  back  of 
the  Police  Court,  it  was  considered  that 
the  examination  would  take  place  there.  The  re- 
porters were  nicely  seated,  and  everybody  and  every- 
thing seemed  to  be  in  readiness,  when  Justice  Duffy 
annonnced  that  the  case  would  go  on  In  the  Police 
Court,  where  there  is  not  the  slightest  accommoda- 
tion or  convenience  for  reporters.  The  matter  be- 
ing laid  before  the  Justice,  he  at  once  recognized  the 
fact,  and  immediately  adjourned  to  the  Court  of 
Special  Sessions,  where  there  is  ample  room, 
light,  and  ventilation.  The  charge  against  the 
prisoner  Is  that  of  forging  and  uttering 
11  St.  Louis  County  bonds  of  $1,000  each, 
issued  in  the  year  1853  and  fo  rtm  for  25  years 
from  date.  Mr.  James  Oliver  appeared  as  counsel 
for  Carrerar  end  Hnested,  and  Mr.  John  O.  Mott 
represented  Cannon.  Assistant  District  Attorney 
Herring,  sitting  on  the  bench  with  Justice  Duffy,  con- 
ducted the  case  for  the  people.  The  first  case  called 
was  that  of  Hue8t«d.  Chief  of  Police  James  Mc- 
Donoueh,  of  St.  Lotiis,  was  the  first  witness  for  the 
prosecution.  He  is  a  man  about  58  years  of  age, 
bald,  with  mustache,  very  stout,  and  was  attired  in  a 
dark  gray  tweed  suit,  with  frock  coat  On  taking  the 
stand  the  court  asked  the  witness  if  he  knew  any  of 
the  prisoners,  and  he  replied  hi  the  negative.  Mr. 
Oliver  then  rose  and  examined  the  witness  as 
follows : 

Q. — Have  you  got  what  purports  to  be  a  genuine 
bond  with  you  f  A. — Xo,  but  I  have  a  canceled  St. 
Louis  County  bond  with  me.  issued  In  the  same  year 
and  bearinc  the  name  signature,  differing  from  t-ne 
forged  bonds,  inasmuch  as  it  only  runs  for  20  years. 
Q. — ^How  long  have  yuu  been  Chief  of  Police  (  ^V. 
— For  about  30  years,  off  and  on. 

Q. — What  was*  your  business  when  not  Superinten- 
dent ;  what  did  you  do  for  a  living  I 

The  Court  was  of  the  opinion  that  the  witness' 
business  at  the  time  mentioned  waa  immaterial,  and 
the  question  waa  overuled. 

Q.— Were  you  ever  Clerk  of  the  County  of  St. 
Xiouis  t    A. — No,  Sir. 

'Q.— Were  you  ever  presiding  Justice  of  that 
Couiitv  }    A.— No.  Sir. 

Q. — iHd  you  ever  see  T^ewis  F.  Ijacy,  Clerk  of  the 
County  of  St.  Louis,  sign  these  bonds!  A. — I  am 
not  <-ertain. 

Q. — By  whom  and  for  what  purpose  were  the  bonds 
issued  f  A. — The  bonds  were  tssaed  bv  the  authority 
of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Missouri  for  the 
construction  of  the  MiR8<>uri  Pacific  Railroad. 

^. — How  many  bonds  were  issued  \  A. — Of  my 
own  knowledge  I  do  not  know  how  many  bonds  were 
issued. 

Q. — Is  thatLary's  signature!  (showing  witness  one 
of  the  bonds  said  to  be  forced.)  ■  How  does  it  differ 
from  a  genuine  bond  !  After  the  witness  adjusted 
his  glas.ses  and  %ad  closely  scrutinized  and  compared 
the  signature,  he  answered  :  In  the  first  place.  I  have 
been  familiar  with  Mr.  Lewis  F.  Laoy  all  hi«  lifetime. 
and  comvequently  have  often  seen  his  signature  :  the 
signature  LewLs  F.  Lacy  on  this  boud  Ik  hot  compact 
or  close  enough  for  the  genuine. 

Q. — How  or  in  what  respect  does  it  differ  from  the 
original  ?     A. — It  differs  in  the  "  w." 

(^art — Have  you  Lacy's  signature  on  any  other  pa- 
per ?  A. — Yes.  Sir.  I  have  a  bond  issued  in  the  same 
year,  signed  at  ^e  same  time,  but  only  to  run  for 
JO  years. 

On  comparing  the  signature  on  this  bond  with  the 
one  on  the  bond  shown,  the  witness  said  It  diffeied  la 
the  '■  w, "  and  he  pronounced  it  a  foi^rv. 

Q.— I>o  you  know  that  all  the  bonds  were  signed  In 
the  same  way  1  A. — Well,  ther^  might  possibly  be 
the  scratch  of  a  pen  or  so. 

Mr.  Oliver  suggested  to  have  the  bonds  marked  : 
his  objei't  appeared  to  be  to  show  .the  incompetency 
of  the  witness,  but  the  court  refused  to  so  order.  ■ 
Counsel  then  moved  that  all  the  testimony  given  by 
McDonough  be  stricken  out.  .The  motion  was  de- 
nie<l  and  exception  taken.        ™j_ 

Hiram  B.  Johnson,  the  broker^who  negotiated  the 
sale  of  the  bonds  with  Perkins,  Livingston  &  Post, 
waa  the  next  witness.  He  was  examined  as  follows 
by  Mr.  Oliver: 

Q. — Do  you  know  anythlnfr  about   the  St.   Louis 
County  iKinda  !  do    you    know    whether    they    were 
forged  or  not  !    A, — Xo.  Sir. 
^hn  T.  Hanna  was  next  called  and  examined : 
Q. — Have  you  traded  in  St.  Louis  County  bonds  t 
A. — No.  Sir. 

Q. — Do  you  know  whether  the  bonds  shown  here 
are  genuine  or  not  ?    A. — Xo.  Sir. 

Leroy  C.  Hurd  waa  the  next  witness.  He  testified 
that  he  was  a  hatter  by  trade  ;  lived  at  Xo.  lO-l 
Grand-avenue.  Brook^n  ;  had  been  conductor  on  tlie 
Third-avenue  RaUToaa  for  three  or  fonr  years;  did 
not  know  the  difference  between  a  genuine  and 
forged  bond  of  the  County  of  St.  IaiuIs. 

Superintendent  McDonough  recalled.  Q. — Do  yon 
know  whether  any  person  or  deputy  was  authorized 
to  sign  the  bonds  m  Lacy'e  absence  ?  A. — I  am  sure 
there  was  not — of  my  on*n  knowledge  I  do  not  know 
that  there  wa**. 

The  case  of  William  Carrerar  was  now  called,  and 
Mr.  Oliver  said  that  if  the  court  held  that  the  evi- 
deure  in  one  ease  was  good  In  the  other,  he  would 
move  that  the  two  be  merged  in  one.  The  court 
acquiesced.  Mr.  Herring  then  announced  that  the 
prosecution  rested  on  what  was  contained  in  the  af- 
fldavitfS  Slroady  submitted. 

Mr.  Oliver  a'ppliod  for  the  dischai^  of  the  prisoTi- 
er«,  as  there  was  not  sufficent  evidence  to  hold  them. 
Justice  Duffy  then  said  that  In  his  opinion  the 
fact.<t  mentioned  in  the  affidavits  were  sufficient  to  re- 
mand the  prisoners,  and  he  would  conunit  them  in 
default  of  $10,000  bail  each. 

Mr.  John  0.  ilott,  who  appeared  for  Cannon, 
moved  for  the  discharge  of  his  client  on  the  ground 
that  there  was  no  forgery  shown,  and  consequently 
the  people  had  no  case.  Mr.  Herring  said  that  though 
there  was  evidence  conneetins;  Cannon  with  the  forg- 
eries, there  was  not  sufficient  to  warrant  his  deten- 
tion.   The  prisoner  was  then  discharged. 

While  Mr.  Herring  was  speaking  Cannon,  breath- 
less with  expectation,  stood  up  :  hv«  face  was  flushed, 
and  he  was  nervous  and  excited.  When,  to  his  great 
satisfaction,  he  found  he  was  a  prisoner  no  longer,  he 
eentiy  glided  out  of  the  court,  accompanied  by  his 
lawyer  and  a  few  friendJi. 

Chief  McDonough's  affidavit  is  to  the  effect  that 
he  was  Informed  that  certain' bonda—Xos.  1,330, 
1,331,  1,332.  1.333.  1.334.  1.3r>0.  1.351.  1.352, 
1.3.53,  l,354--purporting  to  be  bonds  of  the  City  of 
yt.  Louis,  Issued  In  the  year  1853.  signed  by  Lewis 
F.  Lacy.  Clerk  of  the  County  Court,  had  been  found 
in  the  possession  of  Perkinit,  Livlngaton  Si  Post.  Xo. 
23  Xaasau-street,  to  whomxhey  had  already  been  sold 
by  Hiram  Johnson,  of  Xo.  52  Broadway,  and  that 
tpe  latter  had  received  said  bonds  from  Johu 
H.  Huested,  and  that  a  certain  bond  of  the  same  issue 
(Xo.  1,345)  was  found  in  the  possession  of  William 
Carrerar,  who  had  uttered  it  for  sale  to  John  T. 
Hanna,  of  Xo.  11  Wall-street,  and  that  Leroy  C. 
'Hurd  had  Introduced  Carrerar  to  the  former  as  a  per- 
son who  had  some  St.  Louis  County  bonds  on 
which  he  desired  to  obtain  a  loan,  and  that  he  [Mc- 
Donough] has  examined  said  bonds,  and  that  they 
are  forgeries.  The  deponent  goes  on  to  say  that  he 
is  well  acouainted  with  the  handwriting  of  Lewis  F. 
Lacy,  Clerk  of  the  Coimty  Court  of  St. 
Louis,  having  frequently  seen  him  write,  and 
knows  his  signature,  and  that  the  signature 
of  Lacy  on  the  bonds  now  In  question  were  forgeries. 
McDonough  further  sajrs  that  the  original  bonds  of 
the  Countv  of  St.  Louis,  issued  in  the  year  1853. 
were  uumoered  from  1314  to  133S  Inclusive,  and 
that  no  other  bonds  of  that  character,  and  running 
for  '25  years,  were  issued  by  the  County  of  St.  Louis 
in  the  year  1853,  or  any  other  year.  The  affidavit, 
in  conclusion,  charges  Huested  and  Carrerar  with  ut- 
tering forged  and  fraudulent  bonds  of  the  County  of 
St.  I^uis. 

The  prisoners  Carrerar  and  Huested  were  taken 
bftck  to  their  cells,  where  a  Tiuss  reporter  had  a 
conversation  with  them.  Carrerar.  who  is  in  cell  Xo. 
72,  Beyond  tier,  was  not  in  anyway  communicative. 
On  being  asked  if  there  was  anything  in  his  case  that 
he  would  wish  the  public  to  know,  or  if  he  had  been 
misrepresented  in  anyway,  he  answered  that  there 
was  nothing  he  wished  the  public  to  know,  as  he 
thought  they  knew  enough   already.     He  refused  to 

Seak  lurther,  saying  that  his  counsel  so  advised  him. 
nested,  who  Is  In  cell  Xo.  49  on  the  aame  tier,  was 
a  little  more  talkative.  He  was  of  the  opinion  that 
he  had  been  grossly  misrepre.sented,  and  waa  positive 
that  he  could  not  be  found  guilty  of  the  charge.  On 
being  asked  if  he  eipectjyl  to  obtain  ball,  he  replied 
in  the  affirmative,  and  added  that  In  his  opmion 
$10,000  bail  waa  altogotber  too  much  in  his  case, 
and  that  when  Justice  Duffy  would  consider  the 
matter  over  he  would  probably  reduce  the  bail  to 
$5,0pO.  On  being  asked  if  Ht  was  true  that 
his— ;  name  was  "  Whttipore,  ""  and  If  he 
lived  in  Whitestone,  Long  Island,  he  said 
that  such  a  story  was  alt<w>ther  false. 
Huested  then  said :  '•  I  am  charged  wtth  forging  and 
uttering  bonds,  knowing  them' to  be  forged.  I  deny 
the  charge  in  toto.  I  know  no  more  about  the  bonds 
being  forged  than  the  man  in  the  moon."  Huested 
fur&er  says  that  there  was  no  evidence  brought  forth 
In  the  examination  to  hold  him,  and  that  he  was  sure 
that  he  would  come  oat  all  right  by  and  by.  He  aaid 
that  he  thought  It  curious  that  Caanon  was  released 
and  be.  Carrerar,  held,  as,  In  Ms  opinion,  the  ntere 
fact  of  Carrerar  admitting  that  he  got  the  bond  from 
Cannon  was  evidence  enough  to  hold  the  latter. 
Mr.  Huested  now  considered  he  had  spoken 
enoBkb,  ^ttl  XMoU^ting    that  he  was    adrteod 


by  Ills  lawyara  not  to  apeak  with  cnbody  on  the 
aubjeet,  asked  to  b»  ezBuaed  from  sayfog  any  more. 

In,  connaetloB  with.  Hnested's  assertion  that  hia 
name  waa  not  Whltmotet  a  reporter  of  h  Whitestone 
paper  held  an  interview  with  him,  and  the  reporter 
emphatically  pronounces  the  man  to  be  none  other 
than  Whitmore,  of  'SVhltestone,  Long  Island.  The 
reporter  says  he  knows  Whltmore's  family,  and  that 
they  are  well  known  and  highly  respected  In  the 
place.  He  says  that  it  Was  never  known  in  White- 
stone what  Wnltmore  did  for  a  living,  but  that  he 
always  seemed  to  dress  well,  kept  his  family  re- 
spectably, and  was  a  prominent  church  member. 

Quite  an  incident  oocurred  in  the  Tombs  building 
in  the  afternoon,  and  it  waa  one  in  which  the  prin- 
cipal actor,  probably,  did  not  expect  to  take  part  so 
suddenly.  A  reporter  happened  to  be  standing  on 
the  steps  outside  the  court,  when  he  was  approached 
by  a  closely-veiled  lady  dressed  in  black,  w^o 
aaked  him  if  it  were  possible  for  her  to  see 
William  Carrerar.  who  was  charged  with  forgery. 
The  reporter  was  of  opinion  that  she  could.  Warden 
Quinn  not  being  in  his  office,  the  reporter  introduced 
the  lady  to  Deputy  Warden  Finley,  who  courteously 
acceded  to  her  wishes.  She  ejaculated,  "Let  me  only 
see  him  once,  then  III  be  satisfied."  The  reporter 
and  the  Warden  thought  the  lady  waa  a  relative  of 
the  prisoner,  but  both  were  mistaken.  As  soon  as 
Carrerar  was  brought  out  on  the  corridor  she  said  in 
a  nervous  way,  "Yes,  that  s  him;  I  thought  It  was." 
Upon  being  asked  to  explain,  she  said  that 
her  husband  brought  Carrerar  to  dine  with  the 
family  about  a  week  ago.  Her  husband  mentioned 
that  Carrerar  was  introduced  to  h^m  as  a  rich  Indian 
banker,  who  at  one  time  through  his  wealth,  and  by 
liberally  disburHlng  his  money,  saved  the  population 
of  a  large  section  of  the  country  from  Btarvjng  when 
famine  prevailed.  She  added  that  Carrerar  when  at 
dinner  Informed  her  that  he  was  going  to  enter  Into 
the  banking  business  on  a  large  scale  in  this  country. 
The  lady  did  not  stop  to  speak  to  Carrerar,  but  after 
taking  one  (cood  look  at  bun  departed. 

The  detectives  think  they  are  now  on  the  track  of 
the  man  that  printed  the  forged  bonds.  Hi»  name  Is 
supposed  to  be  Hall.

The  town  of  Union  Hill,  N.  J.,  desiring  sev- 
eral years  ago  to  make  a  broad  new  boulevard,  to  be 
called  the  Bull's  Ferry-road,  and,  not  ha>-ing  the  re- 
quisite cash  In  hand,  issued  bonds  to  the  amount  of 
$50,000,  which  were  known  as  "Bull's  Ferry  road 
bonds."  The  town  had  already  issued  $15,000  in 
bonds  for  the  Gardner-street  improvement,  which 
were  known  as  "  Gardner-street  improvement 
bonds,"  and  the  coupons  that  are  attached  to  both  of 
these  seta  of  bonds  are  cashed  half-yearly  by  the 
First  Xational  Bank  of  Hoboken.  When  the 
Town  Treasurer,  Charles  Wurtz,  Sr.,  went  into 
the  Hoboken  Bank  several  ,  days  ago  and  was 
presented  with  the  coupons  that  had  been 
cashed  by  the  bank,  he  found  three  among 
them,  aggregating  $105,  that  he  at  once  pronounced 
to  be  forgeries.  They  were  exact  imitations  of  the 
genuine  coupons,  both  in  lithographing  and  in  signa- 
tures, but  Mr,  Wurtz  remembered  that  the  two 
$1,000  bonds  from  which  they  had  been  cut  were 
canceled,  and  lay  securely  in  his  safe  in  Union  Hill.  A 
closer  comparison  of  the  sourious  coupons  with  the 
gentUne  ones  showed  that,  while  the  former  were  true 
counterparts  of  the  latter  in  press-work  and  chiro^- 
raphy,  they  differed  slightly  in  the  style  of  figure 
used  in  the  numbering,  this  being  done  with  a  hand- 
stamp,  after  the  coupons  are  signed.  Two  of  the 
bogus  coupons  were  from  one  bond,  being  for  Janu- 
ary and  July  interest,  and  the  treasurer  ascertained 
that  ttie  Jantiary  interest  ou  all  the  coupons  had 
been  paid  nearly  six  months  before. 

The  great  fdmllari(y  of  the  spurious  coupons  to  the 
genuine  ones,  and  the  clo.<<e  resemblance  of  the  signa- 
tures, gave  rise  to  the  suspicion  that  some  person 
who  had  officially  handled  the  bonds  when  they 
were  first  issued  was  the  guilty  party.  At  the  time 
that  the  Gardner-street  bonds  were  issued,  ex-Coun- 
cilman Fritz  Meyer  waa  President  of  the  board,  and 
vague  suspicions  against  him  culminated  in  open 
charges,  circulated,  tt  is  said,  principally  by  his  per- 
sonal enemies,  that  he  had  tried  to  sell  these  bonds 
for  his  own  advantage.  While  the  excitement  about 
these  charges  was  at  its  height  Mr.  Meyer  left  the 
village.  Afterward,  however,  the  charges  were 
presented  to  the  Grand  Jury,  and  that  body  failed 
to  find  an  indictment  against  Mr.  Meyer,  who  then 
returned  to  Union  Hill.  He  left  the  village  again 
several  months  ago,  and  the  discovery  of 'the  spurious 
coupons  ftt  once  gave  anew  Impetus  to  the  old  stories 
Agamst  him,  and  a  ready  feeUng  among  his  enemies 
that  he  was  concerned  in  the  crime.  The  presenting 
of  the  July  coupon,  however,  some  time  after 
Mr.  Meyer  left  tjnlon  Hill,  goes  far  to 
disprove  the  theory  that  he  U  connected  with  the 
forgery.  "And  besidew.'  as  Town  Clerk  Frederick 
C.  Hansen  said  to  a  TlUES  reporter  yesterday.  *  if 
he  wanted  either  coupons  or  bonds,  why  should  he 
forge  them  I  They  all  went  through  his  hands,  and 
If  so  disposed  he  might  more  safely  have  taken  the 
originals."  Mr.  Hansen  also  says  that  the  town's 
books  and  papers  were  in  a  very  disor- 
derly  and  unbusinesslike  state  when  they 
came  into  his  possesnfon.  the  book  from 
which  the  Gardner-street  bonds  were,  Lssued  being 
missing  altogether.  The  two  bonds  whose  coupons 
were  counterfeited  are  kept  in  the  Town  Clerk's  safe, 
where  a  number  of  persons  may  see  them  while  doing 
business  In  the  office,  and  It  Is  a  favorite  theory  of 
many  of  the  intelligent  citizens  of  Union  HUl  that 
some  person  nnconnecte*!  with  the  vUla^je  (Jovem- 
meut,  seeing  these  canceled  bonds  and  learning  their 
numbers,  and  having  facilities  for  reproducing  the 
lithographic  work,  took  advautaee  of  this  knowledge, 
and  made  and  sold  the  false  coupons.  Suspicion  lias 
not  yek  openly  fallen  upou  any  one  in  Union  Hill. 

The  Teller  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Hoboken 
says  that  the  coupons  of  the  Union  Hill  bonds  are 
always  cashed  at  that  bank  :  that  thejthree  coupous 
were  received  as  genuine  ;  that  he  has  not  yet  re- 
ceived any  proof  that  all  of  them  are  not  genuine  ; 
and  that  the  bank  has  no  clue  by  which  the  utterer 
of  the  three  coupons  could  he  found.  Mr.  Ixmis  0. 
Hanensteln,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Law 
and  Ordinances,  Is  endeavoring,  with  the  aid  of  de 
tectlves.  to  find  the  utterer  of  the  coupons  ;  Mr. 
Charles  Wittreich.  Chairman  of  the  Town  Council  is 
also  active  in  the  matter  ;  and.  in  short,  every  good 
and  loyal  ritlien  of  Union  Hill  is  determined  that  the 
wronj^oer  shall  suffer.  There  is  some  anxiety  lest 
more  of  the  forged  coupons  may  be  in  circulation.  , 


CREMATION  IN  A  HOSPITAL. 


A  DISSECTED  FCETCS  BURNED  IX  A  FURNACE 
AT  THE  NEW-TORK  HOSPITAI/— STATE- 
MENT OF  THE  PHYSICIANS  OF  THE  IN- 
BTITUTTON — VIEWS  OF  THE  BELLEVUB 
SURGEONS. 
On  the  8th  of  this  month  Mrs.  Mary  Tait 
waa  taken  from  her  home.  No.  557  Greenwich- 
street,  to  the  hospital,  having  received  two  etab 
wounds  in  the  abdomen.  On  the  13th  she  was  de- 
livered of  a  still-born  male  chUd,  She  has  since  re- 
covered, and  was  discharged  a  few  days  ago.  Dr. 
McKnlght.  the  House  Surgeon,  and  Deputj-  Coroner 
McWhinnie,  made  an  examination  of  the  child,'and 
were  convinced  that  its  death  waa  the  result  of  the 
mother's  injuries.  A  few  days  later,  Mr.  White. 
keeper  of  the  Morgue,  received  a  burial 
permit '  for  the  infant,  and  after  waiting 
for  thre^  days  to  receive  the  body,"  sent  the  dead 
wagon  for  it.  When  Dan  Russel,  the  driver  of  the 
wagon,  called  at  the  Xew-York  Hospital,  he  was  told 
by  the  clerk  that  he  guessed  the  body  had  been 
thrown  Into  the  furnace  and  cremated.  Dan's  as- 
tonishment and  horror  at  the  supposed  barbarity  of 
the  physicians  knew  no  bounds,  and  he  reported  the 
disposition  of  the  remains  to  Mr.  White,  who  in- 
dorsed the  burial  permit  in  accordance  with  Dan's 
statement. 

IBA  TiMBS  reporter  called  at  the  hospital  yesterday 
to  interview  Dr.  Knight  upon  the  subject.  The 
Doctor  declared  that  he  could  hot  tell  what  had  be- 
come of  the  child,  but  it  was  not  at  all  improbable 
that  it  had  been  cremated.  Supposing  that  it  might 
have  occurred,  he  conl'l  see  nothing  improper  in  it. 
He  did  not  know  whether  such  a  proceeding  was 
common  in  hospitals,  but  it  was  common  to  bum 
oarts  of  limbs  that  hud  been  amputated.  It  waa.  he 
saliL  the  most  effectual  method  of  disposing  of  thom, 
ana  he  seemed  greatly  amused  at  the  in- 
terest created  by  the  occurrence.  There  was 
no  one  in  the  hospital,  he  said,  who  knew 
positively  what  had  been  done  with  the  child.  HJt 
were  true  that  the  body  was  burned,  the  man  WTio 
burned  it  had  since  been  diKcharged  from  the  hos- 
pital for  incompetency  and  had  gone  to  France.  The 
Doctor  doubted  if  even  this  man  would  have-known 
what  the  body  was,  for  It  was  but  a  six  months' 
child,  and  after  the  examination  was  finished  it 
would  not  have  been  recognizable  to  any  one  but  axx 
expert.  Many  of  the  organs  of  the  body  had  been 
preserved  In  parU  by  the  doctors,  as  of  unusual 
value  as  specimens  for  study.  Mr.  Smith,  the  clerk 
who  told  the  driver  the  remains  had  been  burned, 
said,  when  questioned,  that  the  Doctor  [Knight] 
would  not  tell  him  what  had  been  done  with^the 
child.    ■ 

The  reporter  conversed  upon  the  subject  with  sev- 
eral of  the  Hotise  Surgeons  In  Bellevue  HospitaL 
They  said  that  all  amputations  there  were  buried, 
and  that  they  never  heard  of  their  being  burned  in 
any  hospital,  it  did  not,  however,  appear  to  strike 
them  08  anything  out  of  the  way,  even  m  the  case  in 
question.  At  the  Morgue  the  case  is  looked  upon  as 
one  of  the  utmost  barbarity.  Deputy  Coroner  Miller 
thought  that  if  true  it  waa  a  very  remarkable  pro- 
ceeding, but  he  made  no  apeciai  objection  to  It. 

Tiie  phvsicians  of  the  New- York  Hospital  subse- 
quently said  that  they  had  no  such  facilities  as  were 
available  at  Bellevue  for  the  burial  of  ampuUted  or 
dissected  remains,  and  were  fbnsequently  unable  to 
dispose  of  them  in  any  other  way  than  by  burning 
them.  Thay  desired,  however,  to  correct  the  impres- 
sion tbaX  might  be  made  upon  the  public  mind  by  the 
senaational  report  publianed  In  an  evening  news- 
paper, that  they  were  aei;ustomed  to  bum  bodies 
entire.  It  waa  only  dissected  or  amputated  remalni

BEINFOBOEKESTS  HASTENING  TO  THE 
ASSISTANCE  OF  THE  RUSSIANS. 

London,  Aug.  27. — The  Paris  Temps  says 
it  has  received  intelligence  from  an  authentic 
■oarcethat  Soleiman  Pasha  has  captured  the 
ScMpka  intrenchments  with  15  guns,  and 
poshed  on  to  Gabrova. 

The  DaUjf  Xact'  correspondent,  who  ires  an 
oye-witneM  of  Friday's  battle  in  the  Schipka 
Pass,  telegraphs  from  Gomy-Studeni,  Satur- 
day, as  f ollr  V  g :' "  Riding  backward  from  Schipka 
through  tl  e  ni  ,ht  I  passed  masses  of  reinforce- 
ments of  arifUery  and  infantry  hurrying  for- 
ward to  Schipka.  Their  strength  is  such  as  ought 
to  secure  the  safety  of  the  all-important  posi- 
tion." The  uame  coirrespondent  telegraphs  from 
Bucharest,  Sunday,  as  fol'o-vs :  '•  Information 
follows  me  here  that  the  fljh:ing  at  the 
pass  is  still  raging,  h.ving  been  again 
renewed  to-day,  but  that  Rauetsky  continues 
to  hold  his  own.  •  It  is  now  a  question  of  en- 
durance, but  I  adhere  to  my  impression 
that  the  Schipka  Pass,  as  now  held 
by  Radetzky,  is  safe^  and  that  unless 
Suleiman  Pasha  can  run  ^a  column  through 
another  pass,  regarding  the  practicabil- 
ity or  contrary  of  which  I  know  noth- 
ing, he  will  wreck  his  army  by  thus 
dashing  it  continually  agatust  Schipka" 
The  corresoondent  eiolains  that  the  Schipka 
Pass  consists  mei*ely  of  a  section  of  the 
Balkans  lower  than  the  surrounding  heiehts. 
There  is  no  pass  i  rop  rly  so-called, 
but  merely  a  track  over  this  lower  section, 
or  ridpe,  which  is  extremely  broken  and 
hilly.  The  highest  point  of  the  road  is 
flanked-  on  ■  either  side  by  mountainous 
spurs  higher  than  itself  and  commanding  it, 
and  also  a  ridge  behind  the  first  of  these 
two  spurs  can  rake  the  road  leading  up 
to  the  Russian  positions.  These  spurs  break 
off  ahn!ptly  and  precipitously  at  the  edge, 
therefore  affording  no  access  into  the  valleys 
north  of  the  Balkans.  Their  sole  use  to  the 
Turks,  therefore,  was  in  affording  positions 
from  whence  to  flank  the  central  Schipka 
ridge.  It  is  possible  also  for  troops  to 
descend  from  them,  struggle  through  the  inter- 
veuing  glens,  and,  climbing  the  steep 
jlopes  of  the  Schipka  ridge,  give  a 
hand  to  each  other  on  the  road  which 
runs  along  its  summit.  This  done,  the  Schipka 
position  wo^ld  of  course  be  turned,  but  the  ad- 
vantage would  be  of  little  avail  till  the  road 
had  been  opened  by  carrying  the  fortified 
positions  on  it.  The  road  over  the  Schipka 
ridge  constitutes  for  an  army  the 
3nly  practicable  line  of  commuunica- 
tion  in  this  section  of  the  Balkans. 
On  the  2l3t  inst.,  when  fighting  commenced, 
the  Russians  probablyjpere  little  over  3,000 
strong,  with  40  cannon.  The  Russians  on 
this  day  had  laid  mines  in  front  of  their 
trenches,  which  were  exploded  just  as  the 
head  of  the-  Turkish  assaulting  parties 
were  massed  above  them.  It  is  re- 
ported that  a  large  number  of  Moslems 
were  blown  into  fragments.  By  Thursday 
evening  the  Turks  had  so  worked  aroimd 
on  both  the  Russian  flanks  that  it  seemed  as 
though  the  claws  of  a  crab  were  about 
momentarily  to  close  behiiJil  the  Russians,  and 
that  the  Turkish  columns  climbing  the  Russian 
ridge  would  give  hand  to  each  other  on  the 
road  in  the  rear  of  the  Russian  posi- 
tion. At  this  supreme  moment  the  two 
Russian'  Generals,  expecting  momentarily 
to  be  environed,  sent  at  last  a  telegram 
to  the  Czar,  telling  him  what  they  expected,  how 
they  tried  to  prevent  it,  and  how,  please  God, 
when  driven  into  their  positions,  they  would  hold 
thetn  until  reinforcements  should  arrive  ;  at  all 
events,  they  and  their  men  would  hold 
their  ground  to  the  last  drop  of 
their  blood.  At  6  o'clock  there  was 
a  lull  in  the  fighting,  of  which  the  Russians 
could  take  no  advantage,  since  the  reserves  were 
all  engraged.  The  men  were  beaten  out  'with 
heat,  fatitrue.  hunger,  and  thirst.  There  was  no 
water  within  the  Russian  lines,  and  men 
la^  panting  on  the  bare  ridge,  reckless 
01  the  fact  that  it  was  swept  by 
the  Turkish  rifle  fire.  Others  dog- 
gedly fought  on  down  among  the  rocks 
but  were  forced  to  give  ground.  The  cliffs 
resounded  with  triun^phant  Turkish  shouts. 
It  was  at  this  juncture  ■  that  reinf  ircements 
under  Radetzky  arived.  Raditzky  took 
command  of  these  with  others  who  arrived 
subsequently,  which  brought  up  the  number 
of  the  defenders  of  the  pass  to  about 
13,000.  The  read  even  in  the  rear 
of  the  Russian  positions,  along  which  the 
reinforcements  had  to  advance  was  swept  by  the 
Turkish  fire,  and  the  reinforcements  suffered 
heavily.  The  object  of  Friday's  battle  was  to 
:lear  the  Turks  from  a  well-wooded  position  which 
flanked  the  Russian  positions  on  the  road.  The 
Q  eh  ting  was  solely  confined  to  intisketry,  and 
continued  all  day  most  desperately.  The  Rus- 
tians  could  make  little  impression  by  a  front 
attack  on  the  Turks. 

The  correspondent  says  :  "  Occasionally  at 
some  point  the  Russians  would  be  hurled  clean 
back  out  of  the  wood  altogether,*  I 
could  mark  the  Turlcs  following  them 
eagerly  to  it«  edge,  lying  down  while 
pouring  out  a  galling  fire.  The  troops  who  were 
charged  with  making  this  front  attack  merely 
sacc«eded  in  preventing  the  Turkish  efforts  to 
work  round  to  the  Russian  rear.  It  was  therefore 
decided  at  noon  to  deliver  a  counter  fiank  move- 
ment. Two  battalions,  executing  this  move- 
ment, had  to  advance  under  a  tremendous 
fire  from  Turkish  mountain  guns.  The 
fighting  on  the  Turkish  front  and  flank  lasted 
for  a  full  hour,  but  at  last  the  Turks  were  seen 
withdrawing  their  battery  of  mountain  guns 
near  the  right  flank,  which  was  a  sure 
sign  that  danger  menaced  it  if  it  stayed  longer. 
Their  left  batterv  followed  their  example, 
which  showed  th"  Rissians  gained  the  ridge  on 
the  Turkish  left  als ).  There  remained  but  the 
central  peak  of  taj  Turkish  positions.  That 
carried,  the  ridge  would  be  ours,  and  our  right 
fluik  would  be  set  free  from  the  dangerous 
pressure  on  it." 

•The  foregoing  describes  the  situation  up  to 
the  time  the  correspondent  quitted  the  pass. 
Here  follow  his  telegrams  from  Gomy-Studeni 
and  Bucharest.  Gen.  Dragimiroff  has  been 
wounded  in  the  knee. 

A  Russian  official  bulletin  admits  that  the 
Russians,  after  defeating  the  Ttirkish  attack 
upon  .\ghaslar  on  Thursday  '  morning, 
were  compelled  by  strong  Turkish  reinforce- 
*  ments  to  retire  to  Smian-Koi.  Mehemet 
AJi's  bulletin  gives  the  Russian  loss  in  these 
operations  as  400  killed  and  many  wounded. 
The  latest  Russian  bulletin  says :  "  Our  attack 
on  Aghaslar  has  not  been  renewed  since 
Thursday.  The  Turks  have  concentrated  in 
strong  force  at  that  point,  and  are  intreitfh- 
Ing  themselves.  Our  troops  are  concentraled 
in  sight  of  the  enemy.  In  two  engagements 
»t  Aghaslar,  on  Thursday,  we  lost  10 
officers  and  66  men  killed,  and  11  offlcers 
and  274  men  wounded."  A  Russian  bulletin 
relative  to  the  battle  at  Schipka  Pass, 
says:  "Fighting  continued  all  of  Pnday.  Our 
troops  retain  all  their  positions.  Our  losses 
during  the  four  days  of  firiiting  have  been 
considerable,  27  wotmded  officers  and  900  men 
being  brought  to  GaBrova.  The  number  killed 
is  unknown.  The  cannonade  in  the  pass  was

From  Our  Otcn  CtrrrefponOent. 

Constantinople,  Wednesday,  Aug.  8,  1877. 

It  is  a  ctirious  fact  that  the  destinies  of 
the  Turkish  Empire  should,  at  this,  the  greatest 
crisis  it  has  ever  encountered  since  it  existed, 
be  intrusted  to  two  men  who  are  not  only  not 
of  Turkish  race,  but  not  of  any  Musiolman 
race — such  as  Arab,  Persian,  Indian,  Caucasian, 
Kurd,  &c  The  Grand  Vizier  is  by  origin  a 
Greek,  saved  when  a  child  by  the  Turkish 
troops  in  the  massacre  of  the  Christian  inhahf- 
tants  of  the  island  of  Chio,  and  brought  up  in 
the  faith  of  the  Prophet ;  a  brother  who  escaped 
remained  true  to  the  religion  of  fais  ancestors, 
and  has  for  some  years  past  had  the  care  of  the 
orthodox  souls  resident  at  Couscoundjouk,  a 
subtirb  of  Consiantinople,  situated  on  the 
Asiatic  shore  of  the  Bosphoms,  near- 
ly opposite  ■  the  Tali  of »  his  brother, 
the  Sadr'azam,  with  whom,  neverthe- 
less, he  has  held  no  iDterconrse.  This 
Tali,  by  the  way,  was  the  property 
of  the  great  .Ali  Pasha,-  whose  i  son, 
Ali  Fuad  Bey,  is,  or  pretends  to  be,  too  poor  to 
occupy  it,  and  has,  until  lately,  not  been  able 
to  find  a  tenant  for  it.  Edhem  Pasha,  no 
doubt,  got  it  on  nominal  terms  on  a  hint  from 
the  Palace.  He  has  no  country  residence  of  his 
own,  having,  to  his  credit  be  it  said,  so  far  neg- 
lected his  opporttinities  of  making  a  fortune 
that  he  has  never  been  able  to  acquire  that 
summuH  bonum  of  a  Pasha — a  residence  on  the 
banks  of  the  Bosphorus.  But  for  the  necessity 
of  being  near  the  Sultan,  his  Highness  would 
probably,  as  he  has  generally  done,  pass  the 
Summer  as  well  as  the  Winter  in  his  town  .resi- 
dence. In  the  days  of  Abdul  Aziz  .  the  Sultan 
would  have  confiscated  Ali  Pasha's  palace  and 
transferred  it  to  his  present  Grand  'Vizier  (sub- 
ject to  the  eventuality  of  taking  it  back  again  in 
case  of  losing  the  imperial  favor,)  or  Edhem 
Pasha  would  have  been  forced  to  borrow  money 
from  an  Armenian  or  do  a  big  job 
in  order  to  meet  the  requirements 
of       his       high       rank.  Under       present 

circumstances,  either  one  or  the  other  course, 
even  if  practicable^  would  have  caused  a  scan- 
dal, and  it  is  worth  noting  that  notwithstanding 
such  exceptions  as  arbitrary  exiles  and  other  oc- 
casional violations  of  the  newly-fiedged  Consti- 
tution, supposed  to  be  justified  by  the*  state  of 
siege,  the  governing  classes  nowadays  recoil 
from  shocking  public  opinion,  though  the  said 
public  opinion,  as  far  as  it  is  understood  by 
them,  is  pretty  much  of  the  Mrs.  Grundy  type 
and  value. 

Liike  most  con  verts — or  perverts,  or  renegades, 
as  you  will — and  especially  those  brought  up  in 
early  life  to  Islamism^Edhem  Pasha  is  a  thor- 
ough-going disciple  of  Mohammed,  though  too 
well  educated  a  man  and  two  much  imbued  with 
European  ideas  and  manners  to  wish  to  be  con- 
sidered a  fanatic.  He  is,  however,  of  an  Irasci- 
ble temper,  which  is  said  to  be  much  aggravated 
by  a  disease  of  the  spleen.  Those  who  have 
any  favors  to  ask  of  him  always  consult  the 
domestics  as  to  the  state  of  his  health  at  tha 
moment.  Since  his  (rather  sudden)  elevatJOQ 
to  the  office  of  Grand  Vizier  he  has  shown  mora 
control  over  this  unfortunate  propensity,  partly, 
perhaps  owing  to  the  sense  of  responsibility, 
and  paifbr  also  to  the  dominaerina  eharaeter  of 


Mahmond  Pasha,  Damat  and  Redif  Pasha, 
who  could  not  brook  the  slightest  contradicstion. 
Edhem  Pasha  is,  withal,  a  good-hearted  man, 
and  might  have  done  inore  justice  to  himself  if 
he  had  acceded  to  the  Grand  "Vizierate  tmder 
circumstances  in  which  he  cotild  have  had  that 
full  independence  which  the  bolder  of  such  a 
post  ought  to  enjoy. 

Edhem  Pasha  has  never,  to  my  knowledge, 
been,  however  indirectly,  connected  with  anyef 
the  acts  which  have  recently  brought  discredit 
on  the  Tur^sh  Government  in  the  eyes  of 
Christendom.'  It  is  true  that  the  office  of  Min- 
ister of  Public  Works,  which  he  had  held,  with 
a  few  breaks,  up  to  his  appointment  as  Am- 
bassador at  Berlin,  was  not  one  to  identify  him 
with  the  policy  of  the  Porte  toward  any  particu- 
lar classes  of  its  subjects :  but  it  is  a  remarkable 
fact  that  his  abstention  from  any  approval  of, 
on  the  one  hand,  the  indifference  shown  to  the 
claims  of  the  Christians;  and.  on  the  other,  of 
the  drastic  method  adopted  of  curing  the  di.=af- 
fection  caused  by  such  indifference,  has  never 
inspired  any  suspicion  of  his  being  at  all  weak- 
kneed  as  a  Mussulman,  or  ever  even  recalled 
his  origin.  iThe  Mussulmans  would  not  do  such 
an  injustice  to  their  own  religion  as  to 
s-uggest  doubts  as  to  the  sincerity  of 
any  one  brought  up  in  it  from  child- 
hood. Adult  renegades  are  rarely  trusted.  One 
notable  living  exception  is  Peizi  Pasha,  (Gen. 
Kohlmann,}  who  came  here  as  a  Hungarian  ref- 
ugee about  30  years  ago,  and  who  is  at  present 
serving  as  head  of  the  engineering  staff  under 
Ahmet-  Mukhtar  Pasha— an  officer  of  great 
merit  who,  though  so  long  in  the  service,  owed 
his  pashalik  toa  caprice,  as  it  may  be  called,  of 
Sultan  Abdul  Aziz,  on  the  occasion  of  a  sham 
fight  a  few  years  ago,  when  Fc-izi  conducted 
.some  manoeuvres  that  happened  to  strike  his 
Majesty's  attention.  Feizi  Pasha,  however,  is 
far  from  imitating  the  old  Turk  in  his  house- 
hold ways,  but  brings  his  family  up,  as  many 
Turks  now  do,  in  a  eemi-^Europeau  fashion. 
There  are  other  foreign  Generals  in  the 
service  who  have  only  Iieen  employed  with 
reserve,  and  under  the  pressure  of  great  need 
for  scientific  officers,  thoueh  they  have  dubbed 
themselves  with  Mu.ssulraan  names,  v.-hicb 
cannot  legitimately  be  assumed  by  Giaours, 
I  .say  '*  assumed,"  because  the  Arab  Christians 
have  names  which  have  been  borne  br  their  an- 
cestors before  Mohammed  was  bom.  and  before 
a  majority  of  their  countrymen  were  converted 
to  the  new  creed.  T'ue  suspicion  attaching, 
tinder  present  circumstances,  to  foreigners, 
however  long  they  may  have  been  in  the  ser- 
vice, is  derived  more  'from  political  than  reli- 
gious reasons.  HobartPasha,  for  example,  would 
bv  no  means  have  <liniinished  the  distrust 
shown  toward  him  if  he  had  became  a  31ussui- 
man.  The  Turks  do  not  iirnore  the  fact  that  a 
man  may  be  a  good  Mussulman  and  yet  be  a 
loyal  subject  of  the  Czar  or  of  the  Empress  of 
India.  Ihe  Arabs  pri<le  themselves  on  bein;^ 
the  aristocracy  of  Islaraism ;  the  Persians 
look  upon  the  Turks  as  heretics:  and  both  | 
di>like  the  Osmanli.  or  supposed  descendants  of  j 
the  Ariny  of  60.000  men  whom  Ertogrul  left  to  : 
his  son  Osman,  orOtbman,  with  which  to  becin 
the  conquest  of  a  great  part  of  three  continents. 
One  of  Othman's  most  illustrious  descendants, 
the  magnificent  Soleyman  "The  Legislator."  ( 
had  for  Grand  Vizier  a  young  Greek,  known  in  j 
history  as  Ibrahim  Pasha,  whom  he  triiated  with  [ 
unbounded  confidence,  which  the  latter  only  j 
obeyed  in  a  domestic  s^-u.'^e  by  extcuain^  the 
aiTection  he  entertained  for  his  imperial  master 
to  some  of  the  latter's  female  favorites,  whose 
rash  reciprocity  cost  him  his  head.  But  if 
there  has  never  beett.  in  Turkish  history  an 
example  of  treachery  by  a  native  renegade  in 
high  place,  (though  there  have  been  cases  of 
such  on  the  part  of  Turks  of  tne  blood. )  there 
has  never  been  a  precedent  for  such  confidence 
as  has  been  placed  in  a  Grand  Vizier  of  Christian 
extraction  under  circumstances  such  as  the 
present,  which  are  themselves  without  pre- 
cedent in  the  annals  of  the  Empire. 

it  is  still  more  extraordinitry  that  the  most 
important  mtlitar)-  command,  on  which  depenils 
the  very  safety  of  the  capital— the  tiara  of  fs- 
lamism — should  fall  to  a  renegade  who  is  not 
even  "native  and  to  the. manner  born."  These 
things  are  the  more  extraordinary  as  the  word 
"  treason  "  has  been  frequently  pronounced — not 
whispered  in  the  coffee-hou.ses.  but  printed  in 
the  'Turkish  papers,  (as,  for  ^sample,  on  the 
occasion  of  the  skedaddle  of  Has-scin  Sabri 
Pasha's  troops  from  Ardahnn.)  and  that  the  ob- 
jects of  such  such  sinister  accusations  have 
been  Osmanli"!  pur  aaiuj.  or  of  as  pure  blood  as 
any  one  belonginpr  to  the  most  mongrel  race  in 
the  world  can  lay  claim  to.  There  could  have 
been  no  fear  of  any  one  divulging  Abdul  Kerim's 
plan,  as  he  kept  it  a  profound  secret,  and  if  it  be 
true,  as  many  (including  Redif  Pasha)  now  as- 
sert, that  he  had  no  plan  at  all.  the  secret  will 
not  even  be  revealed  before  the  court-martial 
at  present  sitting -on  its  ^ot  tfuaiit  author.  The 
principle  that  the  best  way  to  keep  a  secret  is 
not  to  confide  it  to  any  ope  was  carried 
hy  Abdtd  Kerim  to  such  an  e±tcnt  that 
be  peremptorily  declined  to  give  even  an  idea  of 
it  to  the  Sultan  himself  :  but  so  far  from  think- 
ing Of  any  danger  which  the  Grand  Vizier's 
Greek  origin  mightlead  him  to  apprehend,  he 
hinted  that  what  he  was  more  afraid  of  than 
anything  else  was  an  "  indi.scretion  "  on  the 
part  of  his  Majesty,  whose  desire  for  peace  was 
so  strong  that  "he  might  be  tempted  to  disclose 
the  plan  as  a  mean^  of  inducinfir  the  Russians  to 
com^to  terms.  You  are  probably  not  unaware 
that  some  of  the  Sultan's  adWsers  were  accused 
of  hoping  that  the  Russians  would  gain  so  sig- 
nal a  victory  that  things  would  be  brought  to  a 
head,  and  that  a  late  Minister  was  repor*ed  to 
have  thanked  God  for  the  defeat  at  -\rdahan  as 
affording  an  opportunity  for  negotiating  a 
peac.e.  '  '    ' 

It  is-'under  such  circumstances  as  these  that, 
after  the  coUapsa  of  Abdul  Kerim's  "plan," 
and  in  the  face' of  an  excitement  among  the 
Mussulman  population,  daily  pouring  in  soldiers- 
from  the  remotest  parts  of'tne  Empire,  which 
made  it  dahgerous  for  the  Sultan,  and  eye^  his 
dynasty,  fo  evince  the  leastdisposition  to  treat 
with  the  invader  before  chastising  him  'for  his 
aggression.  It  is  under  such  circumstances 
that  among  the  host  of  Marshals,  more  or  less — 
mostly  less — distinguished  as  representatives  of 
the  bfothers-in-arms  of  Saladdin  and  Mahmoud 
the  Conqueror,  not  one  was  considered  equal 
to  the  situation,  (Ahmet  Mukhtar,  it- is  tcue, 
could  not  be  recalled  from  Armenia,)  and 
that  the  Sultan,  with  the  general  approval  of 
his  counselors  and  of  the  public  voice,  pitched 
upon  a  Prusso-French  renegade,  who  had  not 
been  many  years  in  the  scTvice,  but  who  had 
just  distinguished  himself  by  his  bravery,  ac- 
tivity,, endnrande,  and  energy  in  the  futile  cam- 
paign in  Montenegro,  ah  enterprise  which  either 
ought  never  to  have  been  commenced,  or  oueht 
never  to  have  been  abandoned.  It  was  a  long 
way  to  fetch  a.  Commander-in-Chief  from  in 
such  ah  emergency,  but  his  army,  also — a  picked 
one  and  already  lyell-fleshed  against  the  Monte-, 
neerins,  an  enemy  of  a  very  different  stamp  to 
that  of  Servians  or  Roumanians — was  wanted 
to  reinforce  the  troops ,  on  the  Danube,  and  it 
was  important  that  they  should  be  luider 
the  same  captain  whose  personal  qualities 
were  known  to  them.  This  last  consideration 
decided  the  choice  between  Mehemet  Ali  and 
Suleiman  in  favor  of  the  former.  Suleiman 
was  allotted  the  defense  of  this  side  of  the  Bal- 
kans, for  which,  it  was  then  supposed  R^ouf 
Pasha  coiUd  in  the  meantime  suffice,  it  never 
being  expected  that  the  Russians  would  risk  a 
dash  across  the  defiles  before  having  thorough- 
ly secured  their  positions  on  the  other  side  and 
an  invulnerable  line  of  cotnmunlcation  with 
the  north  of  the  Danube.  The  new  command- 
ers did  not  arrive  a  moment  too  soo'n.  'What 
suc-cess  they  have  had,  you  will  know  through 
the  cable  -sooner  and  more  accurately  thn,n  our- 
selves here ;  I  simply  note  the  fact,  as  under- 
stood among  us  in  Constantinople,  that  it  is  on 
Mehemet  Ali  that  refeUy  depends  the  gigantic 
task  of  repelling,  tfie'  invader,  inasmuch  as 
whatever  victories  th«  Turks  may  gain  in 
Roumelia,  the  ultimate  issue  will  be  simply  a 
question  of  arithmetic — as  in  your  civil  war^as 
long  as  the  Rtissians  can  continue  to  pour  their 
troops  over  the  Danube  by  htmdreds  of  thou- 
8an(&.- 

Mehemet  All,  though  a  great  warrior,  is  in 
stature  a  very  little  man — scarcely  half -.the 
height  of  RAjnf  Pasha,  (nominally  Jlinister  of 
Marine,)  who  commanded  in  the  affair  at  Eski- 
Saghra,  and  who  is  under  orders  to  leave  with 
Djemil  Paeha,  (son  of  Namyk  Pasha,)  for 
Shumla.  Talking  of  Generals,  I  may  add  an- 
other curiotjfl  fact — that  Chakir  Pasha,  who  /ils- 
tingnished  himself  on  the  occasion  of  R&uf's 
reptilse,  and  was  appointed  to  succeed  that  Gen- 
eral in  his  command,  is  brother  of  Aghia  Ef- 
fendi,  one  of  the  principal  authors  of  the  Reso- 
lution and  Constitution,  who  is  reaping  in  ex- 
ile tlie  reward  of  his  patriotism  and  pludc  It  is 
said,  however,  that  all  the  persons  who  were 
banished  from  the  capital  for  participation  in 
theSotta  demonstration  before  the  Houses  of 


Parliament    have  received  permission   to  re- 
turn. 

The  court-martial  for  trying  Abdtil  Kerim 
Pasha,  Redif  Pasha,  Ahmet  Hamdi  Pasha,  (the 
hero  of  Sistova,)  and  Hassim  Sabri  Pasha,  (the 
hero  of  Ardahan,}  with  a  batch  of  subaltern 
officers,  has  not  yet  formally  commenced  its  sit- 
tings, pending  the  arrival  from  Shumla  of 
Namyk  Pasha,  who  is  appointed  President 
Abdul  Kerim  has,  however,  tmdergone  a  long 
"interrogatory;"  Redif  pleads  Illness  for  non- 
appearance. There  was  a  lively  scene  between 
the  two  on  board  the  steamer  which  brought 
them  from  Varna,  t'p  to  that  moment  thev 
had  not  exchanged  a  word  since  they  left 
Shumla  together  on  receiving  the  Siitan's 
summons  and  notification  of  their  dis- 
miujul.  s^  Redif  was  the  first  to  break 
silence  by  suddenly  apostrophizing  his 
companion  in  disgrace  as  ah  old  ass,  imbecile, 
&c.  Abdul  Kerim  was  not  slow  in  retorting, 
and  both  continued  for  some  minutes  in  pres- 
ence of  their  servants  to  exchange  those  vig- 
orous but  far  from  decent  epithets  of  vitupera- 
tion which  are  familiar  in  the  very  highest 
Turkish  society.  The  scene,  I  am  assured  by 
an  eye-witness,  would  have  wound  up  with 
blows  if  the  servants  had  not  intervened  and 
separated  their  masters.  The  principal  defense 
of  these  two  accused  will,  you  will  perceive,  be 
based  upon  mutual  recriminations  of  incapacity, 
indolence,  and,neglect,  so  that  they  will  prob- 
ably help  to  cou^•ict  each  other. 

DEATH  OF  A  TURKISH  PASHA. 
THE  LAST  MOMENTS  OF  GEN.  AZIZ — STJIPTOMS 
OP  INSANITY— HOW  HE  RODE  INTO  BAT- 
TLE— WHISKING  AWAY  BULLETS  WITH  HIS 
EIDING-WBIP. 
A  war  correspondent,,  -writing  from  Varna, 
sends  us  the  fol'o-wing  translation  of  a  let- 
ter written  him  bv  an  aide  de-camp  pres- 
ent at  the  battle  of  Esirdje,  It  is  date^  Has- 
grad,  Jtily  31,  and  runs  as  follows  ;  "  yon/ will  no 
doubt  be  very  anxions  to  hearfrom  me,  and  as  I  havo_ 
some  little  time  to  spare  to^isy,  I  avail  myseU'  of  tbe 
occasion  to  give  you  some  details  al  thekust  momenta 
of  .4zi2  Pacha,  Though  one  of  the  raW-at  Generals 
we  possess,  ho  l»ad  unfortunately  for  the  last  few 
days  shown  s^'mptoms  of  insanity  :  to  such  a  pitch 
had  he  arrived  that  his  staff  became alanned ;  usually 
so  affable  and  tractable,  he  suddenly,  only  four  days 
previous  to  the  battle,  soured  in  disposition, 
and  threatened  to  blow  out  the  braius  of 
the  first  man  who  bad  the  hardihood 
to  speak  to  him.  Two  days  before 
the  battle  three  B&shi-E.izouks^wbo  had  committed 
some  crime  were  brought  before  him,  and  he  sliot 
them  -with  his  own  revolver.  The  day  of  the  battle 
he  arrived  at  the  vlllege  of  Esirdje,-  the  officer  of  the 
advance  guard,  a  Lieutenant,  who  had  observed  the 
Kt>s,'iians  ambushed  in  the  forest,  approached  his 
Qeneral  and  announced  liis  discovery.  The  General 
renUed  by  dra-winK  his  sword,  which  he  thrust 
through  the  neck  of  the  Lieutenant,  saying,  "What  I 
yon  are  afraid  of  the  Russians  f '  and  lie  continued 
.idvoncing  toward  the  forest.  Suddenly  he 
WHS  assailed  by  a  perfect  hail  of  rlfio 
bullets,  which  showered  upon  him  from  the 
two  extreme  ends  of  the  forest — it  is  more  a 
little  wood  than  a  forest — but  still  he  advanced  with 
one  battalion.  The  commander  of  this  battalion, 
who  wjis  by  his  side,  implored  liim  to  retire,  when 
the  General  replied,  -  Are  voa  also  af miu  of  the 
balls  f  'No,'  replied  the  commander,  -but  we  are 
going  to  sacrifice  our  battalion  ;  its  existence  is  at 
stftke.'  The  balls  were  whistling  around  them,  and 
still  the  General  advanced  with  Iiis  single  Imttalion, 
another  fojlowinz  him  np  closely.  A  Russian  battal- 
ion  at  this  moment  rushed  from  tlie  forest,  but 
was  completely  annihilated  by  the  Turlss.  The 
Russians  Uien  opened  fire  from  si^  field  guns  hidden 
in  the  forest,  and  Aziz  ordered  forward  three 
only  in  reply,  forbidding  the  second  battalion  to  ad- 
vance. The  whole  of  his  division  was  verj-  near,  and 
a  Lieutenant-Colonel,  seeing  the  danger,  immediately 
sounded  the  clarion  for  the  division  to  come  up,  but 
the  General  shot  nt  and  missed  him  for  giving  orders 
without  bis  permission  :  all  remained  therefore  be- 
hind, fearing  to  rislc  tiie  furj-  of  Aziz  Pa-sha.  Raising 
his  riding-whip  and  cracking  it  wildly  over  liis  h  'ad 
t4>  whi-sk  awav  the  fljing  bullets  as  it  were,  he  rode 
on  to  death,  ,receiving  a  oullet  in  the  forehead  which 
killed  him  :  those  behind  him  did  not  perceive  his 
fall,  and  went  on  bravely  fighting  with  the  enemy, 
.\  Brigadier-General  fell  mortftlly  i^-ouudcd,  as 
well  as  two  Colonels,  Ti.e  General's  own  aide-de- 
camp tried  hard  to  save  the  corpse,  dragging  it 
along  by  the  leg ;  ho. was  set  upon  by  a  Russian,  to 
whom  he  gave  his  uuietus  with  his  revolver — the 
Russian  had  previously  fired  on  him  and  scorched  tlm 
side  of  his  tmiform  :  the  aide  de  camp  still  kept  on 
dragging  by  the  leg  until  he  saw  a  squadron  of  cav- 
alry bearing  down  on  him,  when  h'e  fled  and  hid 
himself  in  a  ntVine,  If  the  act  of  folly  for  which 
the  General  suflfered  had  not  prevented  the  division 
from  taking  part  in  the  fray,  I  do  not  think  a  single 
Russian  would  have  been  left  to  tell  the  tale,  and  we 
should  besides  have  taken  their  artillery,"   "

DESTRUCTIVE  EARTHQUAKES  ON  THE  SOUTH 
COAST — PROPOSED  CONFEDERATION  OP 
STATES — GERMANY  AND  NICARAGUA — AN 
ATTEMPTED    REVOLUTION. 

Panama,  Aug.  IS. — The  steamer  Payta, 
which  arrived  here  on  the  1 6th  inst, ,  brings 
news  of  further  destruction  by  earthquakes  on 
the  south  coast.  The  day  she  sailed  from  Cal- 
lao,  (Aug.  1,)  a  report  was  received  there  of 
serious  earthquakes  having  occurred  at  Co- 
quimbo  and  Serena,  in  Chill.  The  e.xtent  of  the 
disturbances  and  the  amount  of  the  damage 
done  are  not  stated.  The  cable  from  Callao, 
south,  had  been  broken,  owing,  it  was  supposed, 
to  the  earthquakes.  The  details  o£  the  news, 
therefore,  had  not  been  received.  The  steamer 
from- Valparaiso,  due  at  Callao  on  the  Ist,  had 
liot  arrived  when  the  Payta  left. 

From  Ecuador  we  learn  that  many  of  the 
priests  are  lea-ving,  on  account  of  tbe  hostility 
of  the  Government.  There  is  no  news  of  irn- 
portance,  from  Colombian  porta.  At  'I'umnco 
.there  had  been  some  difficulty  at  the  Ctiatom- 
bouse  about  landing  goods  witliout  the  necessary 
sobordos  or  maiufests,  but  it  was  not  of  a  serious 
nature. 

The  subject  of  a  confederation  of  the  five 
States  of  Central  America  is  again  prominently 
before  the  public,  with  President  Barrios,  of 
Guatemala,  as  leader.  Guatemala,  Salvador, 
and  Hofidtirns  have  already  declared  in  favor  of 
confederation.  Nicaragua  and  f  osta  Rica  are 
yet  to  be  heard  from.  It  is  considered  unlikely 
that  they  will  assent  to  the  scheme.  The  ques- 
tion between  Germany  and  Nicaragua  growing 
out  of  an  attack  luade  on  Mr.  Eisensttu'k,  Ger- 
man Consul  at  Leon,  in  his  private  character, 
has  assumed  serious  proportions.  Germany's 
ultimatum,  in  which  demands  are  made  for  an 
indemnity  of  $30,000,  and  that  the  German 
flag  be  saluted,  reads  more  like  a  declaration  of 
war  than  anything  else.  It  states  that  if  tlio 
demand  is  not  complied  with  immediately  on  i  s 
receipt,  a  German  squadron  will  be  sent  to 
Nicaraguan  waters,  and  an  imperial  army  will 
m^fch  to  Leon  and  enforce  the  demand.  The 
mSitter  is  now  before  the  Governments  of  the 
United  States  and  England. 

An  attempt  atrevolution  occurred  in  SanJos^, 
the  capital  of  Costa  Rica,  on  July  29,  but  was 
immediately  suppressed  "without  having  created 
any  public  disorder.  In  the  absence  of  any 
other  source  of  information,  we  translate  tbe 
following  account  of  the  affair  from  the  Cos- 
taricttiM  of  the  3d  inst.  A  handful  of  men, 
among  them  some  youths  of  known  disorderly 
antecedents,  entered  the  principal  barracks 
through  the  disloyalty  of  the  officer  of  tbe 
guard,  who  opened  the  door  with  a  false  key. 
Parti,  of  those  who  entered  went  direct  to  the 
bedroom  of  [the  commander.  Col.  Cordero,  and 
broke  open  the  door  with  matchetes.  Various 
shots  were  fired  into  the  room,  and  the  com- 
mander would  undoubtedly  have  been  killed 
had  he  not  fortunately  been  out  of  bed. 
Nevertheless,  the  officers  and  imen  put  them- 
selves on  the  defensive,  and  although  some  confu- 
sion was  produced  in  consequence  of  the  invad- 
ers having  extinguished  the  lamps  on  entering, 
fire  was  opened  by  the  guard  on  the  place  where 
the  invaders  were  supposed  to  have^  entered. 
The  latter,  it  is  stated,  did  not  fire  a  single  shot, 
but  on  the  first  discharge  of  anns  of  the  guard, 
the  voice  of  Zenon  Castro,  who  appeared  to  be 
one  of  the  chiefs,  was  heard  to  say,  "Wears 
lost."  They  then  tried  to  make  their  escape, 
many  of  them  being  wotmded  by  the  fire  of 
the-  guard  toward  the  course  which  they 
had.  to  pass  over  to  reach  the  street. 
On  the  part  of  the  guard,  Capfc  Pedro  Lopes 
was  killed,  and  a  soldier  mortally  wounded;  and 
died  two  days  afterwards ;  of  the  Evaders,  Jose 
Antonio  Chamorro,  a  young  man  of  21  years, 
and  Bamon  Brenes,  a  mamed  man,  were  mor« 
or  less  seriously  woimded.  By  private  advices,

Indianapolis,  Ind.,  Aug.  26. — Last  night 
Dr.  Bliss  sat  up  with  Senator  Morton,  In  order 
to  be  present  when  the  pains  that  hare  been 
giving  him  so  much  trouble  occurred.  At 
midnight,  however,  the  patient  fell  asleep,  and 
not  having  awakened  at  3  o'clock  A. 
M.  Dr.c  Bliss  retired.  The  pains  did  not  re- 
cur, and  the  Senator  passed  a  comfortable  day. 
A  private  telejfram  received  from  Richmond  at 
10  o'clock  to-night  says :  *'  Senator  Morton 
rested  comfortably  last  night,  and  has  been 
quiet  during  the  day,  sleeping  a  portion  of  the 
time.  He  is  very  weak,  out  his  cir- 
culation and  temperature  are  ^perfect  and 
respiration  good.  ^  he  local  difficulties  which 
prostrated  Wm  a  few  days  fto;©  are  now  under 
control,  and  his  condition  and  symp- 
tons  warrant  the  belief  that  he  is 
in  a  fair  way  to  recover,  provided 
that  no  new  complication,  not  now 
anticipated,  occurs.  He  has  seen  and  conversed 
with  several  fnends  to-day.  He  has  lost  no 
flesh,  and  looks  as'  well  as  at  any  period  of  his 
life.  His  mind  is  as  active  and  vigorous  as 
ever." 

^fcial  THsTTOfarA  to  the  Xevf-Torii  Tim^a. 

RicnMOND,  Ind.^^Aug.  26.— There  is  still 
intense  anxiety  at  the  residence  of  GN>v.  Bur- 
bank  regarding  Senator  Morton's  condition. 
Dr.  Bliss  reports  he  is  steadily  improving,  as 
he  has  improved  during  the  day.  The  pains  in 
his  right  side  have  not  returned.  He  -  is 
anxious  te  go  on  the  record  as  ;bas- 
ing  his  medical  reputation  on  the  fact 
that  they  will  not  return.  Yet  a  gentleman  in- 
formed me  this  evening  that  this  afternoon  the 
acute  pains  changed  from  the  right  to  the  left 
side,  his  information  coming  fi*om  a  lady 
who  assisted  heating  flannels  to  relieve  the 
Senator's  suffering.  Col.  Holloway  to-night 
continues  hopeful  and  is  kept  busy  answer- 
ing telegrams  from  all  over  the  country.  Gov. 
Burbank  is  champion  among  the  hopeful 
friends,  claiming  that  the  Senator  is  so  far  im- 
proved that  he  was  removed  to  the  back  parlor, 
where,  upon  the  invalid  lounge,  he  hrts  passed 
the  afternoon,  sleeping  or  .'chatting  pleasantly 
■with  old  friends  and  neighbors. 

Dr.  Bliss  claims  that  tde  Senator  is  not  under 
the  influence  of  opiates;  but  chloroform  and 
morphine  are  still  sent  from  the  dra^ist's 
in  generous  quantities.  It  is  announced  that 
the  Senator  has  read  every  item  iu  the  news- 
papers at  hand  relating  to  Ms  conditiois  and  it 
IS    thought  that  on  this   account  the  doctors 

five  more  favorable  reports  than  the 
acts  justify,  the  unfavorable  ones  having 
a  depressing  effect  upon  their  patient. 
There  are  no  rea.<ions  why  the  public  should 
question  Dr.  Bliss'  statement  that  the 
Senator  is  gradually  improving.  There 
has  been  no  serious  return  of 
the  alarming  symptoms  of  Friday  night  and 
Saturday  morning.  His  principal  nourishment 
at  pJ^^sent  is  beef-tea,  and  it  is  thought  his  ap- 
petiteior  solids  will  return  to-morrow. 

Ar*5;  27. — 2  A.  M. — No  further  word  from 
Senator  Morton.  It  is  supposed  he  l«  still  sleep- 
ing.   

TH-fpaUih  to  tht  Ataociated  Praa^ 

Richmond.  Ind..  Aug.  26. — At  9  o'clock  to- 
night, Dr.  Bliss  made  the  following  statement : 

"  I  am  willing  to  base  my  medical  reputation  npon 
the  assnranre  that  the  acute  pains  in  Senator  Mor- 
ton's right  side  will  not  return.'* 

The  Senator  has  passed  a  very  favorable  day. 
reclining  during  the  afternoon  upon  an  invalid 
lounge  in  the  back  parlor,  chatting  with  old 
friends  and  several  neighbors  from  (  entervillo 
while  his  sick  room  was  being  aired.  Major 
Burbank  arrived  from  Kansas  to-night.  The 
following  dispatch  was  sent  this  evening  in  re- 
.•*ponRe  to  an  inquiry  as  to  Senator  Morton's 
condition :

To  the  President,  R-  B.  Hayeu,  Extcittire  Matnion, 
Wa*hinffton,  D.  €.:  ^  u 

Senator  Morton  rested  eaay  to-day.  The  indica- 
tions are  fitlly  as  favorable  as  he  could  expect. 

JOHN  A.  BURBANK. 

At  10  o'clock  to-night  Col.  Holloway  informed 
a  swarm  of  reporters  that  Gov.  Burbank's 
residence  would  be  closed  for  the  remainder 
of  the  night,  unless  the  Senator's  con- 
dition should  grow  worse.  in  which 
event  they  would  be  admitted.  This  action  is 
probably  for  the  purpose  of  allowing  the 
family  and  a  portion  of  the  attendantsS 
a  much-needea  opportunity  for  rest. 
The  representative  of  the  Associated  Press 
however,  was  informed  at  midnight  that  the 
Senator  was  sleeping  well,  and  had  developetl 
no  unfavorable  symptoms-  The  professional 
nui^s  expect  a  continuation  of  the  Senator's 
present  favorable  condition.

HIS   JOURNEY   A   CONTINUED   OVATION. 
Corretpondejiee  of  the  Cincim}fiti  Gazstte. 

RiCHVONn,  Ind.,  Ang.  24. 

I  have  just  left  the  bedside  «P Senator  Morton. 
He  is  a  very_  nick  man,  but  by  ntTmoanB  in  a  hopeless 
condition.  Those  who  remember  him  in- 1860  saw 
hts  life  at  a  lower  ebb,  and  once  or  twice  since  he  has 
suffered  quite  as  much  as  now.  The  only  really 
ilangerooa  sjrmptom  is  the  paralysts  of  his  left  ami. 
It  seems  to  indicate  that  the  disease  which  prostrated 
him  in  18(35  is  crawling  up  to  the  vital  parts. 
Further  than  this  it  itt  not  so  painful  or  dangerous 
as  it  is  Inconvenient.  For  10  years  his  arms,  hands, 
and  canes  have  supplied  the  place  of  legs  ;  but  with 
his-  left  arm  panilj-zed  he  must  be  carried  about, 
wfcich  will  be  vastly  more  tiresome  and  irritating 
than  walking  with  canes.  However,  it  is  by  no 
means  certain  that  he  will  not  yet  recover  the  n»e 
of  hia  arm.  Already  he  can  move  bi.^  thumb,  and 
Dr.  Bliss  is  hopeful  that  the  use  of  the  entire  arm 
will  be  restored.  His  physicians  are  not  very  com- 
nmnicative.  hut  my  impression,  from  all  I  can  learn, 
is  that  they  intend' to  have  him  in  Washington  by  the 
15th  of  October.  The  Senator  is  in  good  spirits, 
and  evidently  has  no  intention  of  givine  up  the  tjat- 
tle  nntU  he  Is  compelled  to  by  that  wilj'  foe  which 
sooner  or  later  conouers  us  all. 

But  since  1  left  him  at  Astoria  on  the  28th  ult.,  a 
very  creat  change  has  come  over  hira.  He  was  then 
en  route  to  Clatsup.  a  fashionable  watering-place,  14 
miles  south  of  Astoria,  on  the  coaitt.  Ben.  Hol- 
laday.  of  "Pony  Express "  fame,  has  a  fine  establish- 
ment  there,  and  the  Senator  was  to  be  his  guest.  At 
that  time  the  latter  was  iu  excellent  health.  Since 
leaving  Indianapolis  on  the  7th  of  June  he  had  trav- 
eled over  8,000  mil^s  by  rail,  steam-boat,  and  stage- 
coach ;  but  he  had  not  only  endured  the  fatigue  as 
well  as  the  strongest  in  the  party,  but  was  in  much 
better  flesh  and  seemed  stronger  and  heartier  than  at 
any  time  since  his  lameness.  Mrs.  Morton  remarked 
this  several  times  daring  our  trip  down  the  river  to 
Astoria,  and  it  was  her  desire  to  remain  at  CTlatsup, 
or  some  other  point  on  the  Pacific  coast,  until  the  l^t 
of  September.  She  urged  this  course  upon  tne  Sena- 
tor, and  at  the  time  of  my  departure  It  seemed  to  be 
understood  that  he  would  likely  do  so. 

But  as  soon  as  the  several  members  of  the  commis- 
sion had  taken  their  leave  he  became  anxious  himself 
to  return,  and  followed  on  by  the  next  steamer,  just 
in  time  to  cross  the  alkali  plains  of  the  Central  Pa- 
cific daring  the  hottest  days  of  the  season.  Dr.  Mor- 
ris, of  Lane  Seminary,  came  as  far  as  Ogden  on  the 
same  train.  I  met  him  afterward  at  Salt  Jjoke  City, 
and  he  pronounced  it  the  hottest  and  most  dLsagree'a- 
ble  ride  he  ever  experienced.  Such  a  ride,  backed  bv 
such  a  sudden  change  of  climate,  was  of  itself  suf- 
ficient to  endanger  the  health  of  a  well  man.  It  did 
prostrate  Mr.  Stagg,  the  official  stenographer,  though 
a  stout,  stalwart  gentleman,  aocustomed  to  fatigue 
and  ham  riding. 

Senator  Morton's  trip  to  the  Pacific  coast  was  one 
continued  ovation.  Serenading  began  at  Cheyenne, 
and  from  that  time  until  he  le^  Sui  Francisco  on  hia 
return,  he  was  the  recipient  of  most  flattering  com- 
pliments. The  steamer  on  which  he  took  passage  was 
five  days  in  ascending  Puget's  botmd.  At  Port  Town- 
send,  Seattle,  Tacoma,  Olympia,  and  other  towns 
along  the 'shores  of  thia  1>eaut]xal  sheet  of  water,  the 
people  seemed  to  vie  with  each  other  in  doing  btm 
honor.  At  everytpolnt  carriages  were  placed  at  the 
disposal  of  the  co~hmiis8ion  and  the  Captain  urged  to 
extend  the  time  of  his  stay.  Salutes  were  fired 
on  the  steamer's  arrival,  and  bands  played  as  it 
steamed  away.  Upfyi  leas  than  three  hoars'  notice 
the  citizens  of  Olyinpia,  the  capital  of  "Washington 
Territory,  refreshed  the  party  with  an  outdoor 
picnic,  coupled  with  an  "Indian  clam  bake."  At 
Tacoma  they  were  taken  in  a  small  steamer  and 
shown  the  ti«auties  of  the  sound,  and  Ita  myriad  of 
tiny  harboTB.  Here,  too.  a  committee,  representing 
the  Portland  Board  of  Trade,  met  them,  and  finther 
on  the  Mayor  and  a^elention of  citi&ans.  During 
their  stay  in  Ongm,  pobUe  rtoeptlpBS,  banquets, 
and  private  eatertramentB,  wererue  order  of  the

done  fOT  tbe  flsuertafamient  of  thep«z^.  'When  the 
-work  of  tiie  eommlasion  .was  ooneindMlf  by  invita- 
tion of  the  Oitffoa  Steaa^tdv  KaticMiflSL 


the  party  visited  Walla  Walla  Valley.  Then  came 
an  excursion  through  the  central  part  of  the  State, 
and  up  the  Willamette  Valley.  AJfterward  the  sal- 
mon fisheries  and  great  "canneries"  of  theColnm- 
bla  River  were  v&ted  by  invitation  of  the  Board 
of  Trade.  Senator  Morton  went  everywhere* 
Changing  from  boat  to  car.  from  ear  to  eoaob,  and 
from  coach  to  the  cotmtry  apringless  wagon  did  not 
seem  to  fatigue  him.  He  saw  it  all  and  enjoyed  it  aa 
much  as  the  strongest  in  the  party.  In  a  single  day 
he  rode  18  miles  In  an  open  carriage  and  270  miles 
by  boat  and  bv  rail,  changing  cars  three  times  and 
steamers  as  orten.  At  every  turn  he  was  called  upon 
for  a  speech,  and  never  refused  to  respond.  At 
Salem  he  spoke  for  upward  of  two  hours,  making  one 
of  the  ablest  speeches  of  his  life.  It  was  the  unquali- 
fied verdict  of  Republicans  who  heard  him  that  his 
was  the  greatest  effort  ever  heard  in  On^n.  The 
occasion  seemed  to  inspire  him,  and  he  spoke  with 
much  of  the  energy  that  characterized  his  efforts 
during  the  war. 

In  addition  to  snch  duties,  arduous  and  fatiguing 
as  they  were,  he  kept  np  hi^  correspondence,  pre- 
pared an  elaborate  speech  which  he  had  been  invited 
to  deliver  in  Ohio  on  hia  return  home,  wrr>te  an  arti- 
cle for  the  AbrtA  A  nwn'can  Ji£vicw,  and  performed 
the  work  for  which  the  commission  visited  Oregon. 
Yet  in  June  last,  when  Senator  Saulsbury  saw  that 
Mr.  Morton  was  fully  determined  to  start  for  Or^on. 
he  felt  constrained  to  remonstrate  with  him.  beUev- 
ing  that  he  w:is  unt^hle  to  endnre  the  fatigues  of  the 
journey,  let  alone  performing  the  work  with  which 
the  commission  was  charged. 

(tov.  Morton's  great  will  power  has  stood  him  in 
many  a  trying  hour  before,  and  now,  unless  naralysia 
is  cntlng  to  hi"!  vitals.  I  beUeve  he  will  take  his  seat

SERIOUS  EESri<TS  OF  A  STORM — A  RAILROAD 
TRAIN  PLUNGES  INTO  A  CULVERT — SEV- 
ERAL PERSONS  BADLT  INJURED  BUT  NO 
ONE  KILLED — A  HOUSE  OPPOSITE  NEW- 
LONDON   GUTTED   BY   THE   FLOOD. 

Norwich,  Conn.,  Aug.  26.— Conductor 
Cody's  passenger  train  from  New-London, 
which  is  due  here  at  9  P.  M.,  met  with  a  seri- 
ous accident  when  a  short  distance  below  Mohe- 
gan  Station,  near  the  residence  of  William 
( 'hnrch,  on  Sattirday  night.  During  the 
afternoon  and  evening  the  rain  had 
beenide  seen  ding  in  torrents  over  a  con.siderable 
portion  of  Eastern  Connecticut,  and  the  streams 
which  enter  into  the  Thames  were  swollen  to 
an  unprecedented  height.  A  culvert  near  Mo- 
hegan,  20  feet  long  and  10  feet  high, 
had  been  entirely  washed  away  by  the 
swollen  current,  although  the  track  was  left 
in  its  natural  posirion.  The  defect  was  not 
observe<l  until  the  engine  was  upon  it.  The  en- 
gine, tender,  and  baggage  car  wure  liurled  into 
the  ravine,  which  so  filled  it  that  the  single 
passenger  car  wfes  not  moved  from  the  track. 
As  the  engine  went  down,  it  was  struck  by 
one  of  the  iron  rails  with  such  force  that  the 
latter  penetrated  through  the  material  of  the 
boiler  and  into  the  interior,  breaking  some  of 
the  flues  in  its  course.  Another  portion  of  the 
rail  was  thrown  a  distance  of  CO  feet.  The 
bursting  of  the  flues  instantly  filled  the  cab 
with  steam,  and  the  engineer  and  firenmu 
leaped  into  the  water,  escaping  with  their 
lives.  The  baggage  car  was  tele.sroped  by  the 
tender,  and  was  completely  wrecked.  The  pas- 
senger car  suffered  only  a  tremendous  shock. 
Fortunately,  only  one  passenger,  Charles 
Bryant,  of  this  place,  wa,s  injured  by  the 
concussion.  Hoi  received  a  dislocation 
of  the  right  elllow.  The  conductor,  who 
was  in  the  passenger  car  at  the  time  of  the  ac- 
cident, finding  that  on  solid  ground,  instructed 
the  pas-sengers,  about  40  in  number, 
not  to  be  alarmed,  and  rushed  to  the 
assistance  of  the  fireman  and  engineer, 
who  were  crawling  from  the  water  as  thev 
floated  down  the  stream.  He  bastily  cut  the  bell- 
rope  and  threw  it  to  fireman  Berbe.  who  was 
thus  drawn  out.  The  engineer  crawled  out 
%vithoiit  assistance  and  made  his  way  to  the  near- 
est farm-house.  Besides  the  injuries  of  Bryant, 
six  trainmen  were  more  or  less  severely  hurt. 
The  engineer,  William  B.  Ricker.  of  this  city, 
was  burned  on  the  left  arm.  from  above  the 
elbow  to  the  flngers,  and  left  hip  badly  bruised. 
Fireman  Boebe,  of  New-London,  ha^  hL?  face 
and  both  arms  and  legs  badly  burned.  John 
Nolan,  of  New-London,  a  car  inspector,  who  wa.s 
in  the  baggage  car,  received  a  compoimd  com- 
minuted fracture  of  the  right  leg  between  the 
knee  and  ankle.  The  chtck  master  in  the 
freight  office  at  New-Li>ndon  received  a 
fracture  of  the  thigh.  Nathan  Palmer,  the 
e.Ktra  freight  conductor  received  a  fracture 
of  the  right  arm  below  the  elbow,  and  had  hia 
head  injured.  Baggage  Master  Michael  Curley, 
of  this  place,  was  badly  bruised^  The  Tvounded 
men  were  cared  for  by  surgeons  summoned 
from  this  city,  and  it  is  expected  that  all  will 
recover. 

During  the  same  storm  which  carried  away 
the  culvert,  a  stream  in  Preston,  across  the 
river  from  this  city,  rose  suddenly,  overflowed 
its  banks,  and  completely  gutted  a  house  occu- 
pied by  a  negro  family  named Tossett.  The  older 
members  of  the  family  escaped,  but  a  child.  3 
veara  of  age,  who  was  sleeping  in  one  of  the 
lower  rooms,  was  swept  fiom  the  house  by  the 
water  and  drowned.  The  body  was  found  to- 
day at  Montville,  eight  miles  down  the  river. 

THE  DEATH  OF  MB.  HENRY  MACKEY, 


HIS  BODY  TO  BE  EXHUMED  AKD  EXAMINED— 
Outrageous  conduct  of  the  officials 
and  others. 

Special  Di^ptUeTi  to  Oie  JVnc-rori  Tbn^s. 

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  26.— The  arrival 
here  of  Miss  M.  Mackey.  the  sister  of  the  late 
Henry  Mackey,  of  Brooklyn,  and  Mr.  Charles 
Ramsey,  of  Xew-York,  an  inrimate  friend  of  the 
deceased,  has  been  the  signal  for  renewed  ef- 
forts to  solve  the  mysterv.  They  visited  Newport 
to-day,  and  arranged  to  have  the  Iwdy  exhumed 
to-morrow  for  a  thorough  medical  examination 
bv  competent  medical  men.  and  by  to-morrow 
night  they  will  be  able  to  conclude  whether  the 
now  generally  accepted  theory  that  JIackey  died 
from  natural  causes  is  a  correct  one.  Mis3 
Mackey  yesterday  visited  the  spot  where  the  re- 
mains were  found,  accompanied  by  the  detec- 
tives and  others,  and  also  conversed  with  peo- 
ple who  had  seen  her  brother  in  that  vicinity  on 
the  3d  inst.,  and  came .  away  convinced  that  the 
theoiy  that  his  death  was  from  natural  causes 
was  probably  the  true  one.  There  is  a  general 
feeling  here  that  the  actions  of  the  Newport 
Coroner,  and  others  con nected_ with  the  recov- 
ery of  the  body,  have  been  simply  outrageous, 
of  the  $155  found  on  his  body,  all  but  $8  have 
been,  as  shown  by  an  itemized  "statement  to 
be  published  to-morrow,  paid  out  to  the 
undertaker,  physician,  andI,^Coroner,  and  it 
is  shownrthat  the  attentions  given  by  these 
persons  and  services  rendered  were  of  the  cheap- 
est and  most  ordinary  character.  Their  con- 
duct is  condemned  in  the  strongest  terms  by 
the  Mayor  of  Newport,  and  by  citizens  both  of 
Newport  and  CincinnatL  A  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  skull  will  be  made  to-morrow,  after 
which  the  renmius  will  be  shipped  to  New-York 
for  interment.  ' 

NE}}'^-rORK  STATE  DEMOCRACY. 
/  Albany,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  26.— The  Demo- 
cratic State  Committee  is  called  to  meet  at  the 
Delavan  House,  in  this  city,  Tuesday,  Sept,  11, 
at  3  P.  M.  The  Aryttn  of  to-morrow  morning 
closes  an  article  on  the  presnnt  State  officers  as  fol- 
lows: "The  Democratic  Party  caimot  afford  to  con- 
demn these'men  or  dispense  with  their  services. 
Gov.  Robinson  needs  their  continuance  in  office 
anddesii^sit.  He  was  elected  with  these  men.  He 
has  served  with  them.  He  knows  them.  He 
has  been  called  to  the  highest  position  of  honor 
and  trust.  Upon  him  the  people  have  rested 
the  gravest  responsibilities,  and  ne  is  entitled  at 
the  hands  of  his  party  to  a  corps  of  State 
officers  whose  recora  is  made,  and  whose  views 
on  all  important  questions  involved  in  the 
management  of  State  affairs  harmonize  with 
his  policy.  This  is  the  verv  essence  of 
the  Constitution.  It  is  what  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  whole  people  demand,  and 
what  is  most  essential  to  the  unity  and  success 
of  the  party.  Therefore  it  is  that  the  Governor 
advises  the' renomination  of  the  present  State 
officers,  not  on  account  of  any  personal  predi- 
lections or  because  they  are  thought  to  be  more 
capable  or  otherwise  oetter  than  many  other 
gentlemen  who  might  be  named  for  the  places, 
but  because  he  feels  the  need  of  tried  men ;  and 
they  have  been  tried  and  have  proved  them- 
selves able,  faithful,  and  efficient."

EVENTS  OP  THE  SALE— THE  ANIMAL.? 
DISPOSED  OP  AND  THE  PRICES  THKT

From  Omr  Oirn  Cormpondmt. 

LoN-noN,  Thursday,  Aug.  16.  ISTVl 
The  Prince  of  Wale.s  has  recently  ^reA 
up  Chiswick  Houfie  for  economical  reasons, 
thus  depriving  the  Ix>ndon  season  of  .one  of 
ita  great  society  charms — the  royal  'garden 
parties  at  Chiswick.  The  rumor  that  he  would 
further  retrench  by  relinquishing  fanning  v>n 
a  lai^re  scale  and  sell  off  his  stocJc 
was  at  first  received  with  incredulity,  but  tho 
report  was  no  idle  tale.  Yesterday  saw  tho 
auctioneers  at  work,  and  thus  one  of  the  finest 
collectiotis  of  stock  in  England  has  been, di*^ 
persed. 

On  Wednesday  evening  the  long  stretch  of 
road  between  the  little  way<ddo  station  at 
Wolferton  and  Sandringham  Hnll  was  pounded 
Into  dust  by  the  wheels  of  many  vehicles  bring- 
ing a  throng  of  buyers  and  some  curious  sicht;- 
seers  to  the  Prince's  sale.  His  RA)yal  Highness' 
steward  seemed  to  have  requisitioned  all  the 
farmers'  traps  for  miles  around.  Ho  had  col- 
lected four-horse  Tjuses  and  wagonettes  from 
Lynn;  he  had  brought  out  all  the  .^^paretdog- 
carts  from  the  home  coach-houses,  and  got  to- 
gether a  curious  collection  of  country  traps 
from  the  farmsteads  in  the  neighboring  ^ena — 
but  all  these  were  insufficient  to  hold  all  tho 
crowd,  and  many  had  to  wearily  wend  their  way- 
over  the  three  miles  of  hot.  sandy  soil  on 
foot,  with  little  in  the  shape  of  foliage  to  screen 
them  from  a  burning  sutLshine  until  the  most 
toilsome  part  of  the  journey  had  been  covered. 
This  crowd  of  possible  buyers  would  have  been 
an  augury  of  high  prices  indee*l  if  the  sale  had. 
been  of  one  of  the  great  shorthorn  herds  of  the 
land  to  which  nobody  thinks  of  going  from 
mere  curiosity,  where  all  the  visitors  wear  a, 
stem  air  of  busines.s,  anil  where  none  dare  ven- 
ture but  those  who  can  afford  to  give  fabulous 
sums  of  money  for  some  fashionable  tribe  of 
cattle.  Like  a  sensible  man,  the  Prince  has 
never  gone  in  for  the  fancy  breeding  on  which 
many  a  peer  wastes  his  sub.«tancc,  and  out  of 
which  many  a  keen  farmer  has  before  now  made  % 
fortune.  From  the  flrsttheobjectat.'^andringhaju 
has  been  to  keep  up  an  ancient  breed  of  shorrt- 
homs  that  has  long  been  found  useful  to  farmers 
in  the  County  of  Norfolk,  never  striving  after 
fashionable  strains,  but  introducing  such  crosses 
of  good  old  blood  as  were  necessarj-  to  pi?event 
degeneration,  and  if  possible  to  improve  tho 
race  without  placing  it  Iwyond  the  reach  of  a 
tenant  farmer*.*;  purse.  In  this  way  tho  Princo 
has  probably  done  far  more  good  than  if  he  had 
attempted  to  perpetuate  a  fashionable  family  of 
shorthorns,  whose  good  (lualities  are  often  more 
fanciful  than  real,  simply  because 'they  wera 
highest  in  price  and  blu«*st  in  bloo<l  Tn  such  a 
sale,  as  a  matter  of  course,  few  of  tlie  great 
shorthorn  breeders  would  come,  for  they  could 
expect  to  find  there  nothing  likely  to  add  a  fancy 
value  to  their  already  high-priced  animals,  but 
there  were  many  canny  Northerners  on  tho 
lookout  for  sometbing  useful  to  carry  over  tho 
border,  and  the  Sussex.  Siirr\-.  Essex,  and  Cam- 
bridge men  mu-stered  in  strength.  The  Nor- 
folk contingent  had  come  evidently  bent  on 
doing  battle  sturdily  for  the  old  county  and 
keeping  as  much  of  its  blood  as  they  could 
among  themselves,  and  though  tht*  prices  never 
reached  the  coveted  three  figures,  they  were  run 
up  frequentlv  to  much  above  the  average  prico 
of  good  faimers'  stock  before  Norfolk  men 
-wotUd  let  the  anizc^ls  go. 

Before  the  sale  commenced  there  wa«  a  pleas- 
ant luncheon  iinder  a  marquee  on  the  sunny 
slopes  of  the  home  farm.  Sir  Dighon  Probyn" 
controller  of  the  household,  presided  iu  the 
Prince's  absence,  and  looked  somewhat  less  at 
home  at  the  head  of  a  company  of  farmers  and 
herders  than  he  used  to  in  tbe  old  days  "wheu 
bis  stalwart  form  sat  erect  in  the  smldle  and  ho 
scoured  the  Indian  plains  at  the  head  of  tho 
famotis  irregular  regiment  that  still  l>ears  his 
name.  But  he  was  supported  on  either  hand  by 
the  Earl  of  Lieicester  and  CoL  Kiugcote,  who.Ka 
names  are  towers  of  strength  among  agricultur- 
ists. whUe  around  them  were  gToup«-d  William 
Ryden,  of  Hove,  the  great  sheep-breeder  of  tho 
South-downs;  his  rival,  Henry  Webb.  «f  Streelby 
Hall  Combs;  Hugh  Gossinge,  of  Sussex.  anU 
Sir  William  Salt,  whose  love  for  the  »dxort- 
wooled  sheep  has  grown  so  strong  that  he  will 
have,  by  and  by,  to  substitute*  a  South-down 
for  the  Alpaca.  whi*'b  is  now  th*»  family 
crest.  Cumt>erland  sends  Mr.  Watson.  whilt> 
from  Cambridge  come  thtr  brothers  Jonas,  Tom 
Gunnell,  the  great  breeder  of  tho  "  white  faces," 
and  Tom  Na.sh.  whose  fond  rt^mlnlscence-s  are 
divided  between  South-downs,  short-horns, 
cricket,  and  tbe  quadrille  which  be  danced  at 
the  great  Royal  Society  meeting  hand  in  baud 
with  the  Princess  of  Wales,  If  short-horn  mi-n. 
were  conspicuous  by  their  absence,  the  sheep- 
breeders  made  up  for  it,  ami  there  was  au 
evident  intention  among  them  to  struggle 
bard  for  possession  of  representation  of  a 
flock  that  has  won  prizes  wherever  South-downs 
have  been  shown.  Lord  Walsingham.  the  Duke 
of  Grafton,  Mr.  J.  J.  Oleman,  M.  P.,  and  tha 
Duke  of  Manchester  all  sent  their  trusty  agencs 
to  make  purchases,  and  it  was  e\*ident  that  thiiro 
would  be  a  closer  competition  for  th»i  shi^ep  ibaiL 
for  the  homed  cattle.  After  hearty  cheers  had 
been  given  for  the  Prince  and  Princess  of' 
Wales,  a  move  was  made  for  the  ring  dowu  byj 
the  cattle  sheds,  where  the  animals  were  har- 
moniously dozing  for  the  i»:rt  time,  -, 
and  business  began  at  once.  The  auc- 
tioneer was  John  Thornton,  who  was 
the  famous  Strafford's  lieut^-iiant  at  tbe  great 
Windsor  sale  when  "  from  the  pastures  of  Ge- 
neva. 111.,"  Sheldon  sent  his  flrst  batch  of 
pure;bred  shorthorns  to  an  Engli<di  marke;/ 
bearing  the  honored  name  of  the  m-.in  who  was 
styled  a  **  herd-book  in  breeches."  Mr.  Th». ni- 
ton has  at  least  one  recomnw-ndation  for. 
wielding  the  hammer  to  whi«.*h  he  .suc-j 
ceeded  on  Mr.  Strafford's  death,  andj 
men  begin  to  look  ou  him  as  quite  thel 
TattersaU  of  cattle  sale  rings.  The  firsg 
to  be  bought  iu  was  a  9-year  old  cow,  in  whose/ 
veins  tlm  old  Norfolk  blood  mineled  with  thas 
of  Earl  Spencer's  tribe.  Her  gTBat-great-gran- 
dam  was  tbe  Althorp  Prudeace.  and  this  valu- 
able strain  would  have  made  her  much  coveted 
in  her  youth,  though  she  went  now  to  ^ir.  Brad- 
fleld,  a  Sandriugh&m  tenant,  for  30  guineas' 
only.  The  next  five  lota  went  to  Norfolk  meu^f 
at  an  average  of  about  33  guineas,  but  Pancake^ 
another  of  Lord  Spencers  blood,  was  car- 
ried back  to  Northampton  by  Mr.  Griffin^ 
of  Peterboro,  who  got  her  after  a  close  struggle 
with  Lord  Leicester  for  48  guineas,  and  her 
young  calf  fetched  13  guineas  more.  Briggi, 
of  Lincolnshire,  got  one  of  Mr.  Tou's  famous 
blood  for  30  guineas,  and  he  bid  up 
to  50  guineas  for  Louisa,  a  beauti- 
ful roan,  who  comes  direct  from  Mr.. 
Thomas  Booth's  great  Warloby  tribe.  Mr.  Wat-' 
son  made  a  jump  to  54  guineas,  and  was  so  evi^ 
dently  determined  to  have  tUe  young  one  tba& 
the  auctioneer's  appeal  of  **  now.  Mr.  Brlggs, 
54  is  against  you  and  the  glass  runs'*  elicited  na 
response  before  the  sand  ran  out.  and  the  roan 
went  to  Cumberland.  Mr.  Briggs,  however,  go* 
another  descendant  of  Prudence  for  48  guineas. 
Mr.  Heinemann,  of  Sussex,  took  Marguerite,  ouq 
of  the  oldest  Norfolk  blood,  for  4t>  gnineaa.  ilr. 
Watson  secured  Lady  Audley ,  of  similar  descent, 
for  44  guineas,  and  2ttr.  H&mond  ^ve  4a 
guineas  for  a  son  of  General  McNab,  who 
comes  through  a  good  line  from  Lord  Grant- 
ham's Comet.  These  were  the  highest  prieee 
realised.  The  12  bulls,  ineluding  bull-calveB, 
averaged  about  30  guineas  apiece;  for  the 
Jersey  cattle  good  prices  were  given,  among  the 
buyers  being  Mr.  Roes,  our  great  authority  on 
this  head,  and  the  total  for  homed  cattle  wan 
within  a  fraetion  of  £1,600.  A  move  then  «o

Gonings  bid  at  onoe  10  gniness,  and  go  aUnned 
other  bidders  that  he  got  them  at  once  at  thU 
pric©.  Mr.  F.  5L  Jonaa  took  a  second  prize  pen 
tor  8  gaineaa  apiece,  in  the  hope  that  he  might 
find  something  there  to  ImproTe  hia  already

the  Duke  of  Manchester  and  Mr.  Colmaa  Boada 
tin  ninning  then  nntil  all  the  ewes  were  dis-

over  the  bidding  for  patriarchs  of  the  flock. 
For  Diss,  of  Goodwood  and  Boby  race,  Mr.  Jonas 
betcan  with  a  big  smn,  but  Sir  William  Salt. 
watching  quietly,  capped  the  bid,'and  after  all 
got  him  for  28  guineas.  The  next  one  of  Sand- 
ringham  breed  went  to  John  Overman  for 
31  guineas,  and  then  the  prices  dropped  nntil 
Mr.  Jonas,  determined  to  carry  off  one,  ran  up 
the  bidding  for  a  lamb  to  £7  10s.,  and  thus  fin- 
ished the  day  brilliantly.  An  arerage  of  4^3

From  the  Xnc-Orleang  Timet,  Aug.  23. 

The  young  men  of  the  South .  must  realize 
that  the  historical  period  of  reconstruction  is  at  an 
Bnd,  and  that  a  new  era  is  upon  them.  The  disap- 
pearance of  the  wofnl  rule  of  the  adventurer,  the 
aegro,  and  the  baj-onot.  frees  their  hands  from  the 
struggle  with  their  own  wrongs.  Their  disenthialled 
section  suddenly  lifts  its  eyes  from  the  coutempla- 
[iou  of  its  loag  bleeding  but  now  healing  woundl, 
ond  find?  itself  merged  into  the  new  nation,  partaking 
of  the  nation's  life,  and  possessing  a  vast  but  as  yet 
atent  influence  in  oatinnal  affairs.  Shidl  she  step  to 
:he  front  with  a. steady  tread,  and  hold  her  own  upon 
:hi.s  higher  plnne,  or  shall  her  sudden  exultation  make 
aer  dizzy,  distract  her  cotmseU,  narrow  her  policy, 
»iid  causa  her  to  relapse  into  provincial  inslgnlfl- 
?ance .'  It  wiU  not  do  for  the  young  men  of  the 
■^onth  to  give  themselves  up  to  rejoicing  and  offlee- 
hoiding.  They  are  the  liclit  of  her  future  life,  her 
brjiins.  hor  heart,  and  her  hope,  and  her  leaders  In  a 
new  and  brilliant  ep<>cli  of  the  country's  histtory.  as 
unlike  the  past  as  night  la  unlike  day.  They  have 
serious  work  to  do. 

It  is  their  duty  to  show  the  world  that  the  over- 
throw of  nejnro  mle  is  not  a  reaction  in  the  direction 
rf  slavery,  but  a  progressive  forward  movement.  It 
wju*  thi'  *  necessary  prelude  to  the  establishment  of 
fraternal  reL-ilions.' and  to  the  beginning  of  thede- 
r.^y  of  jtcrtional  animosity.  The  brave  men  of  the 
N'ortli  and  the"  South  learned  to  respect  each  other 
Dii  the  b«ft]e-6eld.  and  undoubtedly  each  section 
stATids  to-day  far  higher  in  the  other's  esteem  than  it 
riid  before  tlie  war.  The  time  is  auspicious,  ther*>- 
E'lrr.  for  cementing  the  fiectiona  into  an  enduring 
union  npon  a  Instin^  ba.^is. 

The  North  at  la^t  distinctly  announces  Its  desire 
to  rccf-iv<?  tlie  South  in  the  national  councils,  not  as 
cfinquerrd  foes  and  repentent  sioiieTs  upon  trial  and 
toleration,  but  upon  tJio  fullest  equality — as  proud 
men  cominii  with  nO  apologies  to  make.  This  gener- 
ous invitation  the  young  South  accepts,  and  turning 
lier  fnt-e  to  the  future,  she  bids  the  "good  old 
times "  fot*ver  farewell.  Slavery  is  gone,  and  all 
:})atj>)  If  ft  of  its  spirit  must  also  eo^  Its  spirit  was 
itTrtssnrily  hostile  to  immigration.  The  youne 
South  throws  its  do^tri!  open  to  all  the  world,  and 
in%ite^  the  children  of  ^very  land  to  come  and  share 
h»*T  brilliant  prou.ise  of  fortune. 

The  yunuK  South,  whose  motto  is  "up  with  the 
F'^linol- house  and  down  with  the  revolver,  '  will  bend 
its  enereies  to  providing  every  child  with  at  least  the 
nidimentft  of  an  education,  so  that  it  will  be  as  well 
f'quipncd  for  the  battle  of  life  as  if  it  had  been  born 
in  the  cent  e  of  Xew-Eucland.  The  younis  South,  in 
short,  will  push  ahead  like  the  'U'est.  She  need  not 
rease  to  l>e  noted  for  ehivulry  and  hospitality,  but 
she  Rbould  grow  rich  and  powerftil.  and  hnr  influence 
In  ahapin:r  th*»  de:»tiny  of  the  nation  will  be  greater 
than  it  w&s  iu  the  palmiest  days  of  the  slave  ri^glme. 


PL  A  TX  WOnDS  TO  TJJE  EX-REBELS. 
The  Tro}-  Prcw,  a  Democratic  paper,  thus 
sxpresses  itself  for  the  benefit  of  its  erring  Sontbem 
brethren:  "We  want  no  blatant  rebels  nor  aristo- 
rratls  firc^-eoters.  The  Democratic  Party  insists  that 
the  re>b»U  did  err  and  erred  seriously,  and  some 
of  them  onzlit  to  have  had  thoir  netrks  stretched. 
The  class  of  Snuthem  people  who  still  hold  the  re- 
bellion in  memory  a«  the  '  lost  cause.'  and  still  insist 
that  they  were  only  whipped,  not  convinced,  of  their 
error,  are  rt-^onsfble  for  a  deal  of  the  wrong  which 
their  neij;hl>ors  hare  suffered.  Bat  fortunately  this 
p'.ass  is  very  small.  A  few  Southern  hot-heads  pro- 
ripitfttM  a  mon.-Jtrons  war  on  this  nation.  We  have 
rot  fnrsottpn  that  crime,  for  crime  it  was;  but  we 
(ire  wil!tii:r  to  take  that  people  back  to  our  arras,  as 
a  parent  ili^es  an  erring  and  rppentant  rliild,  but  wa 
nrp  not  williue  and  will  not  consent  to  listen  to  this 
whining  about  the  sufferings  they  brought  on  them- 
selves.  The  .Southern  people  came  up  to  us.  ac- 
knowlodd^d  their  wrong  and  asked  to  be  forgiven. 
We  forqiave  them  and  l»nripd  the  past.  If  they  dig 
it  up  It  will  not  he  good  for  them,  for  they  will  not

(..  anr  such  di«poitition  on  th*>  part  of  the  representa- 
iivt>  ^uthem  peopl**.  Wr  look  upon  them  as  honest 
CQnn.  who.  pouvinced  of  their  wr&ngs,  are  trying  to 
\Liiko  amends." 


THE  VALIAXT  EWJXa. 
The  Cleveland  Flerald  of  Friday  says  :  "Hon. 
Thomas  Ewlnj,  before  addressing  himself  to  the 
:ask  of  belaborinic  tlie  Republican  Party  and  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  relieved  his  feelings  by  a 
rinotis  slap  in  the  face  administered  to  the  late 
Democratic  candidate  for  the  Presidency,  hla  super- 
iervieeRi>le  nephew,  and  the  CluUrman  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Xatlonnl  Committee.  3Ir.  Ewing  said  that 
:]ic  "people,"  meaninjt  by  that  the  I>emocT»tic  organ- 
.zatlon.  *  were  bullied  out  of  their  choice  by  the 
Jireat  that  a  little  fellow  from  Michigan  should 
fnls*-Jv  declare  Haves  elected,  and  that  the  retiring 
Preiti^lent  should  t^en  instail  him  at  the  point  of  the 
bayonet."  Ha  thou  added  :  'If  certain  leaders  of  the 
Enitom  Democracy  had  met  this  threat,  aa  the 
Demorrary  of  the  West  met  it,  like  freemen  jealona

bling about  per  cents,  the  bullies  of  the  RopubUcan

CLOSEXESS  OF  THE  BEXATS. 
The  political  complexion  of  the  next  Senate, 
«rhich  meets  In  special  session  Got.  15,  is  as  follows, 
BO  far  as  the  polities  of  the  Senators  ia  at  prevent  de- 
fined :  Republicans,  39 ;  Demoenita.  33 ;  Independ- 
ent Eepnbllcan,  1.  There  are  three  vacancies— one 
from  bouth  Carolina,  caused  by  the  retirement  of 
5jenator  Robertson,  and  two  from  Louisiana,  one  be- 
ing the  vacancy  caused  by  the  retirement  of  Senator 
West;  and  the  other  being  known  as  the  Plnchbaclc 
vacancT.  which  haa  existed  for  four  or  five  years 
past.     *  he  applicants  for  the  South  Carolina  vacancy 


are  David  TT  Corbin,  Republican,  and  31.  C.  Butler, 
Dem^-crat.  The  applicants  for  the  two  Louisiana 
vacancies  are  William  Pitt  Kellogg.  Republican,  and 
J  B.  EnstU  and  James  Lewis.  Demoerau.  f^bould 
these  Taeancies  be  filled  by  Democrats,  the  Demo- 
trats  would  have  36  members. 


any 

ci^  whatever,  but  even  that  arid 
plamvis  made  to  produce  abundantly  by 
means  of  irrigating  ditches.  There  will  be  little 
Irrigation  in  the  State,  however,  a*;  long  as  there 
is  80  much  huad  lying  unimproved  where  that 
troublesome  and  somewhat  expensive  process  is 
wholly  unnecessary  in  any  season.  At  the 
"Point  of  Tin^ber,^*  near  Antioch,  where  only 
four  inches  of  rain  fell  this  season,  and  one  inch 
of  that  came  too  early  to  do  any  good,  400  tons 
of  wheat  were  raised,  one  field  yielding  a  ton  to 
the  acre.  The  unfailing  productiveness  of  the 
foot-hill  farms  L**  demonstrated  in  seasons  like 
this,  where  they  yield  much  heavier  crops  than 
the  adjacent  Valley  land.  The  foot-hills  of 
Amador  and  neighboring  ponntiea  have  never 
failed  to  produce  a  good  crop  wherever  culti- 
vate*!, and  thfre  is  much  valuable  footrhill  land 
still  untilled. 

The  barley  crop  this  season  has  averaged  from 
40  to  70  bus>hels  per  acre.  Where  it  promised 
to  be  less  it  was  cut  for  hay  before  it  matured, 
and  sold  .at  the  rate  of  ^18  to  $25  per  ton. 
This  practice  of  cutting  the  immature  grain  for 
hav  will  probably  become  less  common  as  the 
cultivation  of  alfalfa  becomes  more  extensive. 
This  ia  one  of  the  most  reuuinerative  crops  pro- 
duced in  the  State.  Its  growth  is  so  rapid  that 
I  have  seen  it  measuring  two  and  a  half  feet  in 
height  at  two  weeks'  growth.  It  is  cut  four 
times  a  year,  and  in  favorable  localities  five 
times.  Cattle,  horses,  hogs,  sheep,  and  goats 
thrive  upon  it.  and  one  acre  of  alfalfa  is  con- 
sidered equal  to  10  acres  of  ordinary  pasturage. 
It  is  a  good  fertitizer,  restoring  land  that  has 
**  run  ©"uf '  through  many  years'  production  of 
the  same  grain  crop,  and.  being  deep-rooted,  it  is 
never  affected  bv  drought. 

Fanning  in  California  has  been  mostly  conduct- 
ed on  a  very  extensive  scale,  one  ranch  compris- 
ing leagues  of  land  and  requiring  a  vast  deal  of 
machinery  and  labor  for  its  cultivation,  while 
no  attention  could  be  paid  to  the  development 
of  its  varied  powers  of  production.  Owners  of 
these  large  ranches  are  now  beginning  to  divide 
them  up  and  sell  them  in  small .  farms  at  rea- 
sonable rates  to  industrious  settlers,  who  are 
sure  to  realize  a  handsome  profit  on  their  in- 
vestment where  such  a  variety  of  produce  is  so 
easily  obtained ;  where  potatoes  yield  10 
tons  or  nbout  200  sacks  to  the  acre^ 
and  other  vegetables  in  proportio] 
and  the  fruits  of  semi-tropical  and  tempei 
climates  flourish  together  m  wonderful  prol 
flion.  A  farm  of  49  acres  in  the  San  Jos^  Vat^ 
ley  sent  to  market  $10,000  worth  of  prod- 
uce ;  the  cost  of  making  sales  and  carrying  on 
the  business  amounted  to  ^3.000,  leaving  a 
clear  profit  of  $150  per  acre  for  the  whole 
farm.  But  as  only  25  acres  were  devoted  to 
production,  it  leaves  in  reality  a  profit  of  $240 
per  acre  in  a  single  year.  A  great  many  large 
tracts  of  unimproved  land  are  also  being  divided 
up  and  sold  in  this  manner. 

A  THAMES  RTTER  FISH  FARM. 
Close  by  the  banks  of  the  rlVer  Thames,  with- 
in a  stone's  throw  of  Chertsey-bridge,  a  fish-breeding 
establishment,  which  was  started  some  few  years  ago 
by  a  private  gentleman,  has  year  by  year  been  en- 
larged and  improved  upon  until  it  has  now  become 
one  of  the  most  complete  establishments  of  the  kind 
in  the  kingdom.  The  undertaking,  being  a  private 
one,  has  been  little  before  the  public,  notwithstand- 
ing tlie  fact  that  the  main  object  of  the  pro- 
prietor has  been  to  benefit  the  public  gen- 
erally by  improving  the  fish  of  the  metropoli- 
tan  nver.  That  it  ii  Ukely  he  has  succeeded  in  this  re- 
spect may  be  surmised  from  the  fact  that  within  the 
last  few  yean  some  tens  of  thousands  of  fish  have 
been  hatched  In  the  troughs  at  Chertsey  and  turned 
into  the  Thames  at  various  places,  ilr.  Forbes,  the 
originator  and  proprietor,  has  displayed  |Teat  inge- 
nuity in  the  constmctien  of  his  flsn-breedtng  house. 
By  a  simple  yet  clover  device  the  machinery  for  aer- 
ating the  water  is  worked  by  the  water  itself.  This 
is  acc<implished  by  directing  the  waste  flow 
into  a  receptacle  somewhat  the  shape  of 
a  bellows.  This  fills  and  empties  it»elf 
every  few  minutes,  the  action  each 
time  setting  the  machinery  in  motion,  thus  reeuring 
a  constant  and  thorough  aeration  of  the  water.  In 
other  matters  of  detail  the  uame  economy  of  expense 
and  labor  have  been  carefully  studied,  and  though 
Mr.  Forbes  has  been  at  great  expense  in  building 
his  fish-house,  and  in  perfecting  his  plans  for 
regulating  a  proper  supply  of  water,  he  has  now 
aucreeded  in  being  able  to  carry  on  his  operations 
under  the  most  favorable  conditioDs  and  at  a  compar- 
atively trifling  expense.  The  water  supply  ia  derived 
from  a  well,  from  whicli  some  0, 000  gallons  are  daily 
pumped  into  a  receptacle  or  reservoir  placed  a-  the 
top  of  the  fish-house.  Flowing  thiongh  the  tanks 
day  and  night,  the  water  drains  off  int<y  open-air 
tanks,  situated  in  the  garden,  (where  are  deposited  a 
number  of  full-grown  flsh  of  various  descriptions, ) 
and  eventually  empties  Into  the  Thames.  At  pres- 
ent there  is  no  "batching"  going  on.  The 
tanks  are,  however,  filled  with  a  splendid  lot 
of  fish  of  various  ages  and  descriptions.  Young 
salmon,  apparently  none  the  worse  for  their  sojourn 
in  their  temporary  home,  great  lake  trout,  common 
trout,  American  trout.  Loch  Leven  trout,  (a  new  and 
interesting  addition  to  the  tanks,)  and  a  number  of 
aalznon  and  trout  from  various  Continental  waters, 
are  all  to  be  seen  in  various  stages  of  growth  in  splen- 
did condition.  Mr.  Forbes  and  liis  wife  carefully  look 
after  the  feeding  of  the  Ash  themselves,  and  are  as- 
sisted by  Galloway,  the  only  Thames  fisherman  who 
has  seen  and  assisted  in  the  capture  of  salmon 
in  the  Thames  many  years  ago  when  that  fish  was 
indigenous  to  the  river.  In  drawing  attention  to  Mr. 
Forbes'  flsh-hatehing  establishment  it  is  ouly  due  to 
him  to  say  that  it  is  carried  on  at  his  own  expense. 
without  any  pecuniary  assistance.  The  thotisands  of 
fish  which  are  each  year  reared  in  his  tanks  and 
turned  into  the  river  are  riven  as  a  free  gift 
and  with  the  commendable  view  of  benefit- 
ing Thames  anglers  generally  by  securing  a  more 
abundant  stock  of  fish.  This  good  work,  it  will  be 
recollected,  was  formerly  carried  on  by  the  Thames 
Angling  Preservation  Society,  under  the  direction  of 
Mr.  Frank  Buckland  and  Mr.  Stephen  Ponder.  For 
several  years  these  gentlemen  worked  energetically 
and  snccessfully  in  rearing  a  fine  stock  of  fish  at  the 
Sunbury  Ponds,  (given  by  the  Thames  Conservancy 
Board  to  the  society,)  and  turning  thousands 
Into  the  river.  The  special  fund  which  was 
collected  formerly  each  year  by  the  Thames  Angling 
Preservation  Society  for  this  object  'was  stopped 
some  years  ago.  since  which  time  the  artificial  stock- 
ing of  the  river  with  salmon  nnd  trout  has  been  left 
almost  altogether  in  the  hands  of  a  private  gentle- 
man, whose  disinterested  exertions  will  be  dody  ap- 
preciated by  all  Thames  anglers.  It  Is  expected  that 
when  the  new  Natural  History  Museum  is  opened  at 
South  Kensington  the  aathoritles  will  be  enabled  to 
give  greater  facilities  to  Mr.  Frank  Buckland  for

TaaeBHIorertKelfeie-Ym-knna: 

Becently  there  appeared  before  the  Demo- . 
entla  Party  of  Virginia  a  candidate  for  the 
honors'of  the  OuberdHtorial  office  one  of  whose 
strongest  claims  to  faroisble  consideration  was 
his  adrooaey  of  .a  seheme  to  repudiate  a  portion 
of  the  State  debt.  The  convention  rejected  him, 
hnt  it  is  generall:^  understood  that  hia  voice  was 
largely  influential  in  the  choice  of  the  success- 
ful candidate.  We  are  told  that,  while  a  frank 
avowal  of  the  repudiation  policy  was  withheld, 
nevertheless  there  Is  grave  reason  for  suspicion 
th'at  a  majorityofthedelegates  were  in  sympathy 
with  the  plans  of  the  repndiators,  and  that  any 
suggestion  that  additional  taxation  should  be 
resorted  to — that  heingthe  only  effective  method 
ot  upholding  the  honor  aild  faith  of  the  State — 
was  vociferously  hissed  by  the  representatives 
of;  Virginia  Democraoy.  Every  honest  man 
sees  how  discreditable  this  fact  is  to  the  Old 
Dominion,  and  how  Injurious  to  the  Ameflcan 
name  and  fame.  It  might- have  been  hoped 
that,  If  no  higher  motives  prevailed,  the  scorn 
and  reprobation  which  have  greeted  repudiating 
States  in  the  past  would  have  induced  the 
representatives  of  that  mother  of  States  to  re- 
pel any  suspicion  of  favor  to  a  policy  so  short- 
sighted and  dishonest.  We  still  hope  that  the 
sound  good  sense  and  sagacioiis  honesty  of  the 
Legislature  and  Executive,  to  be  elected  will  de- 
feat the  policy  marked  out  by  Gen.  Mahone. 

The  press  of  the  country,  or  the  more  influen- 
tial and  respectable  portion  of  it,  has  piit  the 
seal  of  its  condemnation  on  Oen.  Mahone's 
project.  We  wish  it  were  equally  emphatic  in 
reprobation  of  another  scheme  of  repudiation 
and  wrong,  much  wider  In  its  scope  and  worse 
In  its  theory.  We  mean  tlie  remonotizntion  ot 
silver.  The  Virginia  statesman  (!)  proposes  to 
confess  the  bankruptcy  ot  a  single  State  and 
ask  its  creditors  to  compromise  their  claims  or 
wait  an  indefinite  period,  perhaps  always  wait, 
for  payment.  The  wrong  affects  a  comparatively 
Ijmited  class. 

The  advocates  of  the  remonettzatlon  of  silver 
propose  a  law  whereby  the  whole  creditor  class 
in  this  country  and  a  large  body  In  foreign 
lands  shall  be  defrauded  of  a  part  of  their  just 
dues.  Not  satisfied  that  private  debtors  are 
permitted  by  law  to  cancel  obligations,  <!on- 
tracted  perhaps  at  a  time  when  the  paper  cur- 
rency ot  the  country  was  convertible  into  gold, 
by  the  payment  in  legal-tender  dollars  or 
national  bank  notes  worth  94^  cents  on  the 
dollar,  they  seek  to  re-establish  as  legal  tender  a 
dollar  worth  only  alx>nt  90  cents  at  the  present 
market  price  ot  gold,  and  liable  at  any  time  to 
be  reduced  far  below  that  value,  inasmuch  as 
within  18  months  we  have  seen  that  its  value  in 
gold  has  once  gone  '  as  'low  as  79  cents  and 
a  fraction.  They  profess  to  regard  the 
old  American  silver  dollar  as  a  time- 
honored  monument  of  the  wisdom  and  honesty 
of  our  venerated  fathers,  and  the  repeal  of  its 
legal-tender  attribute  in  1873  as  alike  .a  fraud 
\ipon  the  Deople  and  a  desecration  of  one  of  the 
landmark.^  of  our  early  financial  history.  The 
great  Hamiltxjn  was  its  godfather,  and  it  is  next 
to  sacrilege  to  destroy  this  sacred  monument  of 
his  wisdom.  Wo  are  almost  moved  to  tears 
when  we  read  their  pathetic  altu.<)ions  to  the 
sanctity  of  this  reverend  coin,  and  see  how  ten- 
derly solicitous  they  are  that  that  exact  weight 
and  form  of  fair  silver,  just  as  it  stood  in  17!VJ 
or  18:i7,  shall  be  restored  to  its  headship.  Our 
feelings  might  indeed  get  the  better  of  us  and 
bring  us  into  the  brotherhood  ot  the  silvor- 
philes,  were  it  not  that  in  their  plan  lurks  a 
swindle  and  a  cheat. 

Before  we  yield  to  the  outcry  and  clamor 
with  which  the  remonetijsation  of  tlie  silver  dol- 
lar is  demanded,  it  may  be  well  to  look  at  its 
'Ty  in  onr  coinage,  and  see  how  far  it  merits 
the  sacred  character  which  is  claimed  for  it. 

silver  dollar  of  Hamilton's  time  wt'ighed 

IG  grains  Troy,  and  was  flue  silver  to  the  ex- 
tent of  802  4-10.000.  It  therefore  con- 
tained 371 14  grains  of  fine  silver.  The  Sil- 
ver dollar  authorized  by  act  of  Jan.  18,  1837. 
weighed  412I2  grains  Troy,  and  was  fine  sil- 
ver to  the  extent  of  900  thousandths.  Like 
the  former,  it  contained  371^  grains  fine  sil- 
ver. A  dollar  ot  371 14  grains  fine  silver  is, 
then,  the  sacred  '*  dollar  of  the  fatliers,''  the 
dethronement  of  wMch  by  the  sacrilegious 
hands  of  an  irreverent  Congress  in  1873  has 
caused  so  much  weeping  aud  wailing,  not 
to  say  cursing,  among  our  Western  patriots. 

From  the  affectionate  terms  iu  which  its  vir- 
tues are  chronicled,  we  should  infer  that  at 
some  time  in  the  memory  of  the  historians,  it 
had  been  a  very  familiar  coin.  In  comniun  use 
among  the  .people,  fre<iueully  pa'iaing  from 
hand  to  hand,  cheering  with  its  broad  fair  fuce 
many  a  damsel  and  swaiu,  and  found  in  abund- 
ance in  the  miser's  old  strong  liox  an<l  the  hid- 
den away  stocking  of  the  spinster.  We  regret 
to  disturb  the  pleasant  memories(I)  \9hich  soeni 
to  liave  clustered  around  it.  But  the  fact  is 
that  it  was  never  In  common  use,  Miough  there 
were  times  in  our  history  when  it  was  occasion- 
ally seen.  The  entire  coinage  of  silver  dollars 
for  the  first  50  years  after  the  adoption  of  tho 
Constitution  was  only  l,440,.'il7,  or  an  annual 
average  of  about  2l^.O0<>.  It  is  obvious  that 
this  number  would  go  but  a  short  way 
in  distributing  silver  dollars  among  "our 
fathera."  Their  supply  of  silver  dol- 
lars. When  they  had  any,  came  from  the  Spanish 
and  3Iexican'  coinage,  of  which  there  were  a 
groat  many  worn  and  light  pieces  in  circulation. 
The  total  number  coined  from  1789  to  18lJI>, 
inclusive,  was  3.658.670,  or  an  annual  average 
of  a  little  over  50.000.  The  numlier  of  silver 
dollars  coined  from  1860  to  the  passage  of  the 
demonetizing  act  of  1873  was  4.387,  lt}8,  but 
as  specie  was,  during  nearly  the  whole  of  that 
period,  out  of  circulation,  it  is  evident  that-  tho 
silver  dollar  rarely  met  the  eyes  of  any  but 
dealers  in  silver  and  gold  as  merchandise,  or 
those  who  paid  or.  received  Customs  duties. 

Enough  has  been  said  to  demonstrate  the 
proposition  that  the  American  silver  dollar  has 
never  formed  any  proportion  of  our  circulating 
medium  worth  mentioning.  The  number  coined 
has  boen  so  insignificant,  as  compared  with  the 
entire  coinage,  that  the  pretense  that  the  silver 
dollar  has  ever  been  an  important  element  in 
our  currency  is  manifestly  absurd.  Nobody  ex- 
pected to  pay  or  be  paid  in  that  coin  when 
transactions  assumed  any  considerable  extent. 
It  Is  true  that  the  fractional  parts  of  a  sil- 
ver dollar  did  perform  an  important  function 
and  com^KJse  a  large  part  of  the  current 
circulation  ;  but  it  must  be  remembered  that 
these  coins  were  reduced  in  value  by  the 
Act  ot  Feb.  21,  1853,  and  were  subsequently  to 
that  time  onlv  a  token  coinage.  We  trust  that 
even  the  maddest  reformer  of  the  currency  does 
not  propose  to  make -that  coinage  legal  tender. 
A  dollar  in  the  silver  we  are  now  using  as  sub- 
sidiary coin  is  worth  about  85  cents  in  gold. 
Yet  we  see  no  reason  for  making  the  payment  of 
coin  obligations  in  silver  dollars  worth  00  cents 
in  gold  valid  which  will  not  as  well  justify 
their  payment  in  half  or  quarter  dollars,  worth 
85  per  cent,  ot  their  nominal  value.  The  one 
is  a  swindle  of  10  per  cent,  the  other  of  13  per 
cent,  a  difference  of  degree  only,  not  ot  princi- 
ple. 

During  the  whole  period  when  on  the  statute 
books,  although  the  silver  dollar  was  recognized 
aa  a  legal  tender  equally  with  the  gold  coins,  it 
was  well  understood  bv  the  world  ot  debtors  and 
creditors  that  all  considerabUi  payments  In  coin 
were  to  be  made  in  gold.  The  very  paucity  of  the 
silver  dollars,  the  practice  of  the  Government 
in  abstaining  from  coining  any  considerable 
number  of  them,  were  in  fact  notice  to  the 
world  that  gold  was  to  be  u.sed  in  all  large  pay- 
ments. It  would  in  those  days  never  have  en- 
tered into  the  mind  of  a  holder  of  a  Govern- 
ment bond,  or  of  the  ofilcer  charged  with  ita 
payment,  ^at  it  was  to  be  paid  in  iulver.  'This 
common  understanding  became  eqiutably  a  part 
of  the  contract  when  large  transactions  were 
made.  Itis  only  now,  when  the  price  of  silver  is  so 
low,  and  a  silver  dollar  is  so  much  less  valuable 
than  a  gold  dollar,  that  this  Kheme  of  paying 

the  public  debts  and  enabling  private  persons 

to  pay  their  debts  in  silver  is  brought  forward. 

Though  83  years  experience  of  our  own  eonn- 
try,  and  all  experience  of  other  countries,  de- 
mottitratei  the  muvaotleablUtr  of  Tnfif»»*"*"t 


in  uae  two  metals  hsrirg  the  same  attributes  of 
standard  and  legal  tender,  the  demand  that  we 
shall  attempt  the  impossible  is  made — not  that 
the  originators  of  the  schema  expect  to  estab- 
lish, really,  the  concurrent  eirenlatlon  of  gold 
and  silver  on  eqtial  terms,  hut  that  the  cheaper 
motal  may  drive  out  the  dearer  one,  and  enable 
debtors  to  discharge  their  obligations  in  a  cur- 
rency of  less  value  than  that  in  which 
they  were  contracted  or  which  they  call  for. 
The  sliver  will  expel  the  gold  by  a  law  as  In- 
exorable as  that  of  gravity.  But  one  metal  can 
act  as  standard  and  as  legal  tender,  however 
you  may  legislate.  Remonetization  of  the  old 
silver  dollar  is  demonetization  of  the  gold  coins. 

Silver  may  be  largely  used  in  the  currency 
for  subsidiary  coins.  The  fractional  parts  of  a 
dollar  are  better  made  of  silver,  because  gold 
pieces  of  so  small  value  are  too  minute  for  con- 
venience or  safety.  But  their  nominal  value 
must  exceed  their  real  value  as  metal,  or  they 
may  disappear  in  the  melter's  pot  or  be  exported. 
The  difference  between  their  real  and  nominal 
value  should  be  just  enough  to  keep  them  in 
circulation  for  change  and  small  transactions. 

The  impossibility  of  retaining  the  relative 
values  of  silver  and  gold  at  a  constant  ratio  Is 
the  insuperable  obstacle  to  the  use  ot  both  at 
the  same  time  as  standards  and  as  legal  tenders. 
As  well  may  we  expect  to  have  com  and  cotton 
hold  their  relative  values  at  a  constant  ratio  as 
gold  and  silver.  Newlv-dlscovered  mines,  new 
processes  of  working,  richer  veins,  now  of  gold, 
now  of  silver — a  hundred  incidents  and  acci- 
(lents  not  foreseen  nor  expected — may  change  the 
cost  of  production,  perhaps  of  silver,  perhaps  ot 
gold,  so  that  the  price  of  either  metal  in  the 
other  may  vary  widely  from  that  fixed 
by  the  statute.  Only  so 'long  as  there  is  no 
considerable  difference  between  the  market  and 
the  statutory  ratio,  will  the  two  metals  circulate 
side  bv  side  with  equal  powers.  This  coinci- 
dence between  the  statutory  and  the  market 
ratio  may  not  occur  for  years;  it  may  occur  at  any 
time.  At  no  time  between  1792  and  1837  was 
the  coincidence  exact ;  at  one  time  the  market 
ratio  of  tho  value  of  silver  to  that  of  gold  was  9 
percent  above  the  statutory  ratio  ;  at  anotht-r 
time  it  was  over  8  per  cent  below.  In  July, 
1870,  the  ratio  of  the  market  price  of  silver 
to  that  of  gold  was  mor«  than  26  per  cent,  be- 
low the  ratio  as  fixed  by  law  in  the  gold  coins 
and  the  old  silver  dollar. 

These  wide  and  frequent  variations  of  the  rel- 
ative values  of  gold  and  silver  should  satisfy 
every  reflecting  person  of  the  foUy  of  tho  at^ 
tempt  to  legislate  both  into  the  position  of 
standards  and  legal  tender.  The  one  which  is 
for  the  time  cheaper  will  displace  the  other,  and 
all  coin  payments  will  be  made  in  the,  cheaper 
metal,  if  the  law  permits  it.  A  silver  dollar  of 
371 14  grains  pure  silver  is  now  worth  about  00 
cents,  gold.  Will  any  saue  man  pay  a  gold  dol- 
lar worth  100  cents  when  the  law  allows  him  to 
satisfv  his  creditor  in  silver  dollars  worth  90 
cents;  To  aslcthis  que.stion  is  to  answer  it. 
Every  coin  paymont  will  be  made  in  silver 
from  the  moment  the  old  silver  dollar 
is  remonetized  and  endowed  with  its  former 
attribute  of  legal  tender.  The  repudiation 
of  9  or  10  per  cent,  of  ail  existing  coin  contracts 
will  have  been  legalized.  This  is  precisely 
what  the  debtors  who  are  so  clamorous  for  •  the 
]^monetization  of  silver  desire  and  demand.  It 
is  to  this  cheating  propensity  that  the  dema- 
gogues who  preach  the  doctrine  of  remonetiza- 
tion to  poUtical  gatherings  are  pandering.  ^To 
suppose  that  most  of  them  are  ignorant  of  the 
law  which  will  inevitably  operate  in  the 
case  is  to  insult  thoir  understandings.  We  must 
suppose  them  to  be  knaves  or  fools ;  we  know 
they  will  prefer  to  be  thought  the  former. 
But  let  them  silence  their"  notes  of  con- 
demnation for  repudiators  of  State  obli- 
gation, and  especially  for  those  who,  like 
Gen.  Mahone,  openly  proclaim  their  purpose 
rather  than  veil  it  under  specious  andplausible 
pretexts.  They  dare  not  openly  avow  their  ob- 
ject by  proposing  to  cancel  one-tenth  or  one- 
twentietli  of  every  coin  contract  by  a  sweeping 
and  explicit  statute.  This  would  open  the  eyes 
of  hono.st  men,  who  would  hesitate  to  follow  and 
abet  the  demagogues  in  their  scjiemes.  Open 
robbery  would  be  frowned  down.  But  they 
propose  to  cancel  a  part  of  every  public  and  pri- 
vate coin  contract  liy  paying  it'  in  debased  cur- 
rency. To  remonetize  silver  in  the  way  they 
demand  is  the  same  in  effect  a»  to  reduce  the 
weight  or  purity  0%  the  goid/<*oins.  Let  them 
boldly  ask  that  the  eaglo/^Ud  its  fractional 
pari.s  shall  be  reduced  inr  value.  This  will  bo 
open  and  above  tioard,  and  since  they  wish  to 
legalize  robbery,  let  tyezu  show  the  vb*tuo  of 
frankness  at  least. 

This  mode  ot  violatfcig  contracts  is  no  novel- 
ty. Tyrants  and  corrimt  rulers,  for  their  oivn 
selfl.sh  purposes,  have  dooe  this  thing  from  time 
immemorial.  The  English  pound  sterling  was 
oriinally  a  Tower  pound  of  fine  silver,  equal  to 
11  ounoesHpennyivcightsTroy.  From  tlie  time 
of  the  Conquest  to  the  present  dav  the  standard 
has  been  reduced  about  two-thirds — i.  c,  tho 
silver  ivhlcU  entered  into  one  pound  sterling  in 
lOflO  is  now  sufficient  to  coin  about  three 
pounds  sterling,  and  in  every  case  when  the 
value  of  the  pound  has  been'  redurcil  it  has 
been  done  with  precisely  tlie  same  purposes  as 
those  of  the  >ilver  remouetizers.  viz.:  to  violate 
the  conditions  of  contracts,  and  to  cancel  ob- 
ligations with  less  real  value  than  was  called 
for  by  their  tenor. 

The  same  spirit  has  sometime-s  manifested  it- 
self in  another  way,  that  is,  by  increasing  the 
value  of  coins  without  changing  their  names. 
But  that  has  been  done  to  compel  the  people  t'» 
pay  larger  sums  in  taxes  to  an  oppressive  ruler. 
One  of  the  worst  of  tho  Komsn  i-rai>erors  addeil 
largely  to  the  weight  of  the  atir^us,  a  gold  coin, 
a  certain  number  of  which  the  citizens  were 
compelled  to  pay  Into  the  Imperial  Tre.isury, 
thus  largelv  adding  to  the  real  value  of  the  peo- 
ple's contributions  to  the  extravagance  and  vices 
of  their  tyrannical  ruler.  Ho  wished  to  clieat 
the  wliole  body  of  tax-payers :  our  silver  renion- 
etizera  wish  to  cheat  only  creiiitors.  On  tlie 
same  principle  a  tyrannical  H^>man  ruler  *.<( 
Gaul,  whoso  people  were  obliged  to  pay  a 
inontlily  tribute,  divided  the  year  into  14 
months,  and  added  thereby  10  2-3  per  cent,  to 
his  exactions.  I 

History  furnishes  abundant  instances  of  th^ 
application  of  the  principles  of  our  silver  r«j 
monetizer.s.  but  to  the  credit  of  motiurn  Goi/-! 
emraents,  it  may  i>e  said  those  precedents  afej 
of  old  date.  Nations  possessed  of  the  average 
amount  of  virtue  and  wisdom  have  not  recently 
made  a  business  of  debasing  thcii-  currency  to 
avoid  paying  their  just  debts,  nor  to  enable 
their  citizens  to  do  so.  We  trust  the  boasted 
model  Kepublic  will  not  initiate  such  a  policv.

StARBIF.T)  WOitEys  KIGBTS. 
The  Boston  HtraUl  of  Saturday  says  :  '  "  The 
recent  Masaacbnsette  law  relating  to  tho  rights  of 
married  women  in  property  is  calculated  to  work  in- 
justice in  some  in-stanco,  as  was  showi  by  a  case 
which  came  before  Judge  Colt,  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  yesterday.  The  plaiatiCfs  were  Cliarles  W. 
Scates,  of  Haverhill,  and  his  two  daughters,  and  the 
defendants,  Ann  E.  Scstes.  wife  of  l.'barlos,  and  a 
real  estate  agent  named  Brown.  The  pliiintiffs  al- 
leged a  verbal  ngreenient  in  1867  benveen  tiiemselves 
and  Mrs.  ^cates  for  tlie  purchase  of  a  lot  of  laud  and 
the  erection  of  a  house,  in  which  they  should  all 
i«side.  The  land  anil  the  house  cost  about  $^i,00O, 
of  which  sum  Mrs.  Scales  furnished  but  ^O,  the 
remainder  being  contributed  by  her  husband  and 
daughters.  The  deed  to  the  property  was  in 
the  name  of  Mrs.  Scates.  ana  tor  10  years  tlie 
agreement  worked  satisfactorily  to  all  par. 
tfes,  and  for  their  mntnal  benefit.  In  the 
month  of  May  last  the  aspect  changed,  by  a  separa- 
tion on  the  part  of  Mrs.  Scales  from  ber  husbanil, 
leaving  hiin  and  Iier  daughters  in  possession.  Iu  tho 
month  of  July  foliowiug  Mrs.  Scates  asserted  her 
ownership  of  the  premises  by  leasing  them  to  one 
Brown  for  the  term  of  one  year,  and  the  latter 
biongh(4i,suit  of  ejectment  against  Mr.  Scafes  and 
the  da^htcrs.  This  suit  is  now  pending  in  Haver- 
hill, and  in  the  meantime  counsel  for  Mr.  Scates  and 
hia  daughters  brought  a  bill  in  equity  to  restrain 
Mrs.  Scales  from  completing  her  purj>o8e.  and  to  de- 
termine the  rights  of  parties  in  the  mater.  Judge 
Cblt  after  hearing  a  full  statement  of  the  case,  said 
that  it  was  a  hard  one  for  the  plaintiffs,  but  he  was 
afraid  they  had  no  remedy  tmder  the  laws  of  Massa- 
chusetts as  they  now  stood,  as  the  Legislature  had 
given  married  women  the  same  right  of  property  in 
their  own  name  as  single  women  had.  The  counsel 
for  the  plaintiffs,  however,  turned  the  matter  so 
strongly  that  the  Judge  granted  an  order  of  notice 
requiring  Mrs.  Scates  to  appear  on  Tuesday  next  and 
show  cause  why  an  injunction  should  not  issue." 

ATROCIOUS  ATTEMPT  TO  WREOK  A  TBAIA: 
A  telegram  from  Quebec,  24th  inst,  to  the 
Montreal  Witness,  says :  "Attention  has  lieen  drawn 
to  the  fact  that  there  has  been  mote  than  mere 
apathy  in  reference  to  the  attempt  made  last  Jime 
to  wreck  a  train  on  the  North  Shore  Railway.  Yes. 
terday  another  most  diabolical  schema  was  laid  to 
smash  a  ballast  train  on  the  same  line,  with  about 
30  people  on  lioard.  During  Wednesday  night  some 
malicious  wreckers  cut  all  but  through  the  timbers 
of  five  or  six  trestles  supporting  the  portion  of  tho 
line  near  Port  Neuf,  wluch  crosses  a  ravine  45  feet 
deep.  A  habitant  accidentally  discovered  the  deed 
before  the  train  passed  over  in  the  morning,  and  sig- 
naled the  engineer  to  stop,  thus  avoiding  a  terrible 
calamity,  as  tho  weight  of  two  men  would  have 
caused  it  to  give  way.  It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that 
at  the  present  moment  strikes  men's  minds  very 
vividly  that  two  months  ago  a  solemn  curse  was 
uttered  by  Fother  Wynn,  from  the  pulpit  of  St.  Pat- 
rick's Church,  against  the  North  ShotB  EoUway.  ita 
cars,  their  wheels,  the  rails,  the  platform,  the  ground 
they  stand  on,  and  everything  connected  with  them. 
This  occurred  just  after  the  announcement  of  a  pic- 
nic over  the  line,  proposed  by  the  Emerald  Indepen- 
dent Brass  Band,  which  had  mcurred  the  displeasure 
of  tho  fathar.  The  Mcraury  expresses  no  surprise 
that  this  course  was,  bv  some  of  the  moat  Ignorant 
and  debased  of  the  people,  mistaken  as  a  warrant  to 
npaet  and  pillage  the  trains  under  the  idea  that  they 
wen  depimd  ot  the  divine  protection  and  given 
over  M  a  iBOll  to  the  daitiovar."

Drom  Ow  Oum  ComapondaO. 
Fabis,  Wednesday,  Aug.  15,  1877. 
I  left  Lnohon  in  company  with  his  Ma- 
jesty the  King  of  Holland,  who  'was  at  that 
watering-plaoe  with  a  nnmierona  suite,  and  onr 
last  tew  days  were  spent  in  promenades  about 
the  mountains.  Among  the  most  charming  of 
the  drives  is  that  along  the  Vallfe  du  Lys.  The 
King  and  his  officers  .went  out  In  carriages 
drawn  by  four  horses ;  -the  invited  guests  were 
on  horseback.  It  Is  a  ride  ot  over  20  miles, 
aUer  et  retour,  but  the  scenery  is  so  fine  that  one 
forgets  the  distance.  Unfortunately,  the  clouds 
hung  low  upon  the  mountains  the  day  that  we 
were  there,  and  we  entered  them  before  reach- 
ing the  level  of  the  LiUy  Valley.  At  the  further 
end  is  the  Cascade  d'Enfer,  one  of  the  finest 
waterfalls  in  the  Pyrenees,  There  Is  a  small 
auberge  near  the  casc^e,  and  here  our  party 
halted  while  a  few  of  us  mounted  the  heights, 
on  horseback.  It  was  a  curious'  sensation,  and 
one  that  must  be  painful  to  delicate  nerves  and 
to  timid  natures.  Winding  up  the  mountain  is 
a  little  path  scarcely  two  feet 'wide,  aud  running 
along  a  precipice  hundreds  of  feet  deep.  To 
make  matters  worse  the  path  is  full  of  rolling 
stones.  Two  of  our  party  dared  not  trpst  to 
our  l^le  mountain  horses,  and  left  them  to 
climb'  up  the  cliff  on  foot,  but  I  clung 
to  my  little  animal,  giving  him  free  rein,  and 
he  carried  me  up  attd  <lown  without  a  single 
stumble.  How  he  managed  to  avoid  tripping 
upon  those  wet  rolling  stones  is  more  than  I  can 
say,  but  he  climbed  up  with  the  agility  of  a 
goat,  and  came  down  with  an  amount  ot  caution  * 
that  won  my  admiration.  Probably  he  knew 
very  well  that  a  single  mis-step  would  be  fatal  to 
both  of  us.  The  Cascade  d'Enfer  Is  reallv  im- 
posing and  even  terrible.  The  torrent  rushes 
over  a  ma.ss  of  solid  rock,  and  falls  into  a  basin 
In  a  narrow  rocky  gorge  more  than  GO  yards  be- 
low. There  is  a  short  respite  here,  underneath 
the  Pont  d'Enfer,  and  then  there  is  another 
fall  of  something  over  40  yards,  when  the  wa- 
ters descend  the  Pique  along  the  beautiful  Val- 
lie  du  Lys.  The  most  astonishing  thing  about 
this  is  that  the  small  brook  trout,  so  abundant 
here,  go  over  this  tremendous  waterfall  without 
injury.  They  are  caught  in  great  numbers  in 
the  stream  below,  and  I  found  them  so  delicious 
that  I  made  my  breakfast  on  them  at  the  auberge. 
At  the  summit  one  sees  the  Maladetta  and  the 
glaciers  of  the  Pyrenees.  After  gathering  a 
few  wild  flowers,  as  one  does  in  Alpine  re- 
gions, we  turned  our  horses'  beads  downward, 
and  began  the  perilous  descent  It  was  grand 
but  moving,  for  there  are  moments  when  one 
reflects  that  Instant  death  must  result  from  a 
single  mis.step  of  the  good  animal  that  carries 
you  so  surely,  and  accidents  are  always  possi- 
ble. But  our  sure-footed  animals  carried  us 
down  In  safety,  and  we  arrived  in  time  for  the 
delicious  spotted  trout  that  had  been  prepared 
for  our  breakfast  These  were  washed  down  by 
some  .Tohannisberger  Md  Steinberger  Cabinet 
that  the  King  had  sent^  early  in  the  morning. 
After  breakfast  we  vMCed  the  Cascjulo  du 
Ccour.  where  the  falling  waters  form  a  typical 
heart,  and  late  In  the  evening  rode  back  to 
Luchon.  Strange  to  say,  onr  horses  showed  no 
signs  of  fatigue,  though  they  had  carried  us 
over  20  miles  and  made  a  very  rude  as<!ent  of 
a  mountain  peak. 

The  next  dav  we  went  up  to  the  Lac  d'Eau,  a 
lake  upon  the  summit  of  the  mountains,  and 
the  next  we  breakfasted  at  the  Hospice.  The 
route  to  this  place  was  made  by  Napoleon  III. 
after  the  visit  of  the  Princo  Imperial.  It  offers 
a  most  delicious  promenade,  ascending  continu- 
ously for  some  10  miles,  and  *h6  route  is  shaded 
with  magnificent  beeciics,  some  of  them  the 
largest  that  I  have  ever  seen.  The  road  runs 
along  a  jirecipico  over  200  feet  in  depth,  but  at 
the  dangerous  parts  a  parapet  has  been  made. 
In  our  trip  here  'wo  were  accompanied  by  M. 
Tron,  the  Mayor  of  Luchon,  and  the  Bonapart- 
ist  candidate  m  the  coming  elections.  He  was 
familiar  with   everv  foot  of    the    ground,  and 

E roved  a  most  agreeable  companion.  I  am 
appy  to  state  that  his  Majesty  made  him  an 
officer  of  the  Order  of  the  Eagle  of  Nassau, 
and  on  leaving  Luchon  remitted  5,000  francs 
to  M.  Tn>n  for  the  poor  of  his  commune. 

We  breakfasted  at  the  Hospice,  which  is  a 
simple  auberge  now,  eating  the  delicious 
speckled  trout  and  drinking  Johannisbergt^r 
with  Chiiteau  Latltte  of  1858.  M.  Tron  had 
also  sent  up  some  Spanish  wines  from  his  cellar, 
one  of  the  best  provid"d  in  the  country.  And 
while  speaking  of  him,  let  me  add  that  tho 
visitor  to  Luchon  who  is  an  atnat^ur  d*.s  Mhs 
rhnses  would  do  well  to  ask  permission  to  visit 
his  tapestrie.s.  In  his  saloons  he  has  some  of 
the  finest  pieces  extant,  and  four  or  five  that 
are  worth  more  than  .<>3O,O0O.  They  are  very 
remarkable,  and  I  am  sure  •that  M.'  Le  Maire 
would  be  happj^  to  show  them  to  any  of  my 
countrymen  visiting  his  town.  'To  re- 
sume "  my  story,  we  h.id  a  splendid 
breakfast  at  the  Hospice,  where  we 
saw  some  of  the  mountain  dogs  so 
useful  in  Winter,  and  thus  visited  the  Cascade 
des  ParisienS,  so  called,  as  one  of  our  compan- 
ions facetiously  remarked,  because  made  in 
Paris  in  the  year  183'2,  and  sent  out  to  Luchon. 
Whenever  and  wherever  made  I  can  certify  to 
the  artistic  value  of  the  work.  It  is  a  most 
l>eautiful  waterfa!l,|in  the  midst  ot  a  beech 
fo^st  The  water  tumbles  down  from  a  great 
height  upon  a  picturesque  mass  of  rock,  and 
the  borders  of  t'ne  gorge  are  formed  of  moss- 
covered  rocks  t.iat  look  like  pictui-es,  if  one 
might  be  permitted  to  oompare  nature  to  art 
At  any  rate,  em'h  rock  would  make  a  splendid 
picture  if  representtd  upon  canvaj.  We  took 
our  siesta  in  the  beech  forest,  and  were  lulled 
to  sleep  by  the  music  of  the  cascade.  The  heA 
of  the  day  over  we  went  back  to  the  hospice,- 
encounteting  a  party  en  route  for  the  Porte  do 
Venasque,  ten  hours  further  on,  and  In  the  cool 
of  the  afternoon  began  our  descent,  arriving  at 
Luchon  for  dinner. 

"ITius  time  passes  at  this  Pyrenean  watering- 
place.  In  the  early  morning  you  bathe,  and- 
driiik  the  na.sty-tasting  sulphurous  water  If  it 
suits  you ;  after  breakfast  you  ■  go  into  the 
mountains,  returning  at  night  thoroughly 
hungry ;  after  dinner  you  listen  to  the  hanil 
upon  the  Quinconces,  or  visit  the  Grand  Circle, 
if  an  ain>i<<ur  de  la  dame  de,  pigne,  and  at  a 
seasonable  hour  you  seek  your  bed  to  sleep  the 
sleep  of  the  weary  if  not  of  the  just  I  could 
have  spent  two  weeks  more  very  agreeably  in 
Luchon,  but  business  called  me  back  to  Paris, 
and  his  Majesty  was  preparing  to  leave  -with  all 
his  household.  .'We  arrived  In  Paris 
after.  a  fatiguing  journey  of  24 
hours,  and,  after  a  day's  sojourn  at  his  ch&teau 
at  Meudon,  the  King  left  for  the  Hague,  where 
he  arrived  yesterday  morning.  After  a  most 
agreeable  visit  the  invited  guests  returned  to 
Paris,  aud  to  their  ordinary  occupations.  I  ar- 
rived in  time  to  see  the  Marshal  before  his  de- 
parture, for  he  was  just  starting  off  for  another 
tour.  Of  course  the  object  is  to  make  an  im- 
pression upon  the  people.  To-day  we  have  the 
Bonapartlst  demonstration  at  St  Augustine, 
and  nevOT  before  has  there  been  so  great  a 
crowd  on  the  15th  ot  August.  Bonapartxst 
stock  Is  looking  up  again,  and  at  thi&.'mom( 
that  is  the  only  party  the  Republicans  have 
fear.  In  my  next  1  shall  try  to  examine  a  little 
the  political  situation.

To  tJu  Editor  of  the  Sevy-  Vork  Timet  : 

It  is  well  knoxm  to  all  intelligent  persons  that 
one  of  the  principal  causes  of  the  high  price  of  foo4 
is  its  transportation  from  the  point  of  prodnction  to 
that  of  consumption.  In  a  very  able  pamphlet  bj 
Hon.  William  J.  McAlpine,  addressed  to  the  Giamber 
of  Commerce,  it  Is  dearly  shown  that  Ifew-York  Is 
the  great  nataral  pathway  between  the  West  and  the 
East,  and,  other  things  being  eqnftl,  no  other  section 
of  the  cotintty  can  ever  compete  with  her.  After

each  a  workable  highway  for  vesaels  of  1.200  tons. 
Without  giving  an  opinion  as  to  the  merits  of  either  of 
these  three  routes,  {exeeptlng  to  say  that  it  ia  not

MAN  A  HERO. 

The  memorable  encoimter  between  &  Btuslsn 
merchantman  and  a  Torklsh  Iron-dad  is  the  theme  of 
the  following  official  report  ofjXkpt.  Baranoff,  t^o' 
commander  of  the  Vesta,  which  accomplished  the 
feat: 

"  On  the  23d  of  June,  7:30  A.  M.,  at  35  mU««  from 
Kustendje.  while  sailing  west  sont^i-west,  I  was  in- 
formed that  smoke  had  been  seen  south.  I  ordered  tho 
vessel  to  be  put  on  all  speed,  and  stood  south  to  west 
to  cut  off  the  vessel  from  tho  shore,  should  it  prove  a 
merchantman  or  a  lightly-armed  man-of-war.  About 
8  A.  M.  we  discerned  a  strong  Turkish  iron-dad, 
which,  hoisting  her  flag,  immediatelv  fired  on  the 
Vesta  from  heavy  guns.  Upon  this  the  Vest.-* 
nuse4  the  Russian  war  flag  and  gave  a  salvo 
^rom  ber  bows.  I  then  veered  to  north  to  west, 
Ifoing  at  full  speed,  to  prevent  my  engines 
being  struck,  and  to  get  an  opportunity  of  firing 
out  of  my  three  6-inch  mortars  and  one  9-ponnd 
cannon.  In  making  this  move,  I  took  it  for  granted 
that  the  hostile  vessel  could  m«ke  no  more  than  10 
or  11  knots,  and  that  my  superior  speed,  together 
with  the  nse  ori>avidoff*s  firing  machine,  would  en- 
able me  either  to.  destroy  the  iron-clad  or  to  compel 
surrender.  To  my  surprise,  however,  though  we 
were  going  at.the  rate  of  12  knots  an  hour,  the  Turk 
managed  to  diminish  the  distance  between  us,  and 
presently  approached  so  close  that  my  0-pounder  gun, 
placed  at  12-cable  elevation,  fired  over  him.  Lieut.- 
Col.  Trhertioff,  of  the  3Iarine  Artillery,  who  had 
been  directine  the  fire  of  our  poop  guns  with  un- 
abated steaS^ess.  came  to  me  ou  the  bridge  and 
'Tvhispered  that  the  enemy  had  got  too  close  for  ui^o 
make  use  of  the  indicator  of  the  DavidofT  firing 
apparatus. .  At  this  moment  the  enemy  was  coming 
down  upon  US  so  rapidly  that  tho  distance  between 
US  was  sensibly  diminished  even  during  the  bullet's 
flight.  The  Turkishproiectilescontalningshrapnels, 
our  sblp  was  riddled  by  shot,  in  conBe<mence  of  which 
I  permitted  Tjieut.-Col.  Tchemoflf  and  Iiieut.  Rojdest- 
venski  to  fire  a  full  salvo.  Two  solvos  were  fired, 
but  the  Turkish  projectiles,  of  11-inch  and  7-inch 
calibre,  now  hit  our  stem,  struck  the  upper  deck,  and 
even  entered  the  body  of  the  vessel.  One  bomb  set 
the  ship  on  fire  clo-'^e  to  the  powder  magazine,  and 
the  destruction  wrought  on  the  upper  deck  was  fear- 
ful. One  bomb  deluged  the  deck  with  blood,  destroyed 
one  of  our  mortars,  and,  striking  the  Davidoff  appa- 
ratus, knocked  down  the  two  artillery  officers  at  the 
giinv  Knaign  Jakovieff  had  his  neck  and  shoulder  lacer- 
ated. Liout.-Col.  Tchemoflf,  mortally  wounded  uttered 
these  liust  words:  "Farewell;  fire  from  the  right- 
hand  stem  gim  ;  it  is  pointed."  and  fell  dead.  Even 
before,  this  salvO,  seeing  that  our  mauoenvreing  was 
over  an&  all  that  we  could  do  was  to  turn  our  stem  to 
the  enemy  and  to  reciprocate  bullet  for  bullet,  I 
determined  to  go  right  at  the  enemy,  and  ether 
l>oard  him  or  else  blow  him  up  by  submarine  mines. 
Another  reason  suggested  this  resolve  was  the  ene- 
my's evident  wish  to  run  his  spur  Into  our  side.  I 
railed  Iiieut.  Michael  Pereleshine,  the  torpedo 
officer,  to  the  bridge,  ordering  him  to  see  whether 
the  mines  were  still  fit  for  use.  and  to  prepare  to 
place  them.  Pereleshine,  in  reply,  asked  permission 
.for  himself  and  Lieut.  Jerebko-Eotmistrenko  to 
launch  the  two  sloops  and  attack  the  enemy  in  broad 
daylight.  Notwithstanding  the  dangerous  nature  of 
the  enterprise.  I  should  have  permitted  it  had  not  the 
sea  been  too  boisterous.  Pereleshine  had  hardly  left 
the  bridge  wh<»n  a  bomb  tore  away  his  leg  to  the  hip. 
In  this  condition  he  still  endeavored  to  spewk  to  me 
about  the  nse  to  be  made  of  the  stream  sloops. 

"But  Pereleshine's  terrible  wound,  the  death  of 
two  ofBoers,  the  disabling  of  four  others,  the  de- 
struction of  the  mortar,  and  the  conflagration  In  the 
lower  deck  were  powerless  to  intimidate  my  gallant 
crew.  iVom  the  oldest  to  the  youngest  officer — 
("adet  Jakovieff,  the  brother  of  the  killed  Ensign — 
the  gentlemen  associated  with  me  in  the  command  of 
the  ship  proved  heroes.  The  place  of  the  killed  ar- 
tillery effi^ers  was  supplied  by  Lieut.  Krotfcoflf. 
While  pointing  his  gun  he  received  17  wounds  from 
the  splinters  of  a  grenade,  and,  with  his  hair  entirely 
singed  off.  continued  to  work  at  the  guns  without  the 
Davidoff  apparatus,  the  conducting  wires  of  which 
were  broken.  Lieut-  Rojdestvensfcl.  who  took  the 
place  of  Lieut.-Col.  Tehemoff,  directed  tho  second 
mortar,  stationed  on  the  platform  by  the  side  of  the 
Davidoff  indicator.  Thanks  to  him,  wo  lodged  a 
bomb  in  the  enemy's  chimney  and  burst  in  the  port- 
hole of  the  largest  g}in-  A  terrible  confusion  followed 
on  the  deck  of  the  Turk.  Unfortunately,  we  were  un- 
able to  take  ad\-antage  of  onr  success,  a  bomb  splinter 
striking  our  steering  apparatus,  so  that  the  rudder 
ceased  to  act.  The  Turks,  profiting  by  our  mishap, 
poured  their  grenades  into  us.  One  of  these  went 
right  into  the  steam-pipe.  and.  covering  the  bridge 
with  fraements,  killed  two  riflemen  standing  by  me, 
wlm  had  been  firing  at  the  port-holes  of  the  hostile 
vessel.  At  this  m<unent  the  last  remaining  artillery 
officer,  Lieut.  Krotkoff.  was  wounded  in  the  face  ;  I 
received  a  contusion  on  the  head  and  left  hand;  C-adet 
.lakoTleff  likewise  was  slightly  wounded  in  the  head. 
Splinters  were  raining  over  the  engine,  wnich,  pro- 
tpried  bv  matting  andT  hammocks,  was  happily  kept 
safe.  Tlhis  was  the  last  serious  salvo  of  the  enemy. 
Hi*)  great  deck  gun  was  dLsableS,  and.  as  he  did  not 
succeed  in  boarding,  he  gradually  fell  back  and  ceased 
firing.  A  dense  smoke  rose  from  the  deck,  and,  after 
two  or  three  rounds  more,  the  enemy  veered  north 
to  west  and  then,  to  north-west,  and  finally  went 
awav. 

•■  I  had  two  guns  destroyed,  two  holes  in  the  body 
of  the  vessel  two  officers  killed,  four  wounded,  and 
the  <fcck  strewed  with  grenades,  splinters,  and  hu- 
man limbs.  The  engineers  and  stoker^  after  a  five 
hours'  encounter,  could  hardly  stand  on  their  le^. 
This,  and  the  eir^mmstance  that  the  enemy  was  sig- 
naling, and  tliat  the  masts  of  other  ships  were  sighted 
in  tbe  distance,  induced  me  to  allow  the  enemy  to 
make  off  without  pursuit.  ^ 

"  Finding  the  iron-clad  took  to  flight,  I  ordered  the . 
corpses  to  be  removed.  As  the  water  was  gaining  in 
the  hold,  and  1  did  not  know  how  long  the  ship  could 
be  regularly  moved,  I  fully  expected  a  f:esh  attack 
from  some  more  Turkish  iron-dads,  and  prepared 
the  ship  as  well  as  1  cuuldfor  a  second  encounter.  1 
then  ordered  the  crew  to  slm:  a  hymn  of"  thanks  for 
our  vi*'tory,  after  t\  hich  we  gave  three  cheers  to  the 
retreating  enemy,  who  did  not  reply  to  our  shots. 

"  I  do  not  know  the  nam6-of  tlie  ship  with  which  I 
had  to  denl.  It  was  an  iron-clad  of  the  ram.  type, 
with  a  10-inch  or  11-inch  gun  In  her  turret,  and  an- 
other irun,  probably  of  the  same  calibre,  in  the  stem. 
In  the  centre  was  a  bloek-br»cLse  containing  four  7- 
inch  cannon,  in  addition  to  some  others  of  smaller 
calibre,  probably  four  Mid  nine  pounders.  The  Tur- 
kish rifles  were  equal  to  our  own,  and  at  a  distance 
from  600  to  800  sajen  poured  salvo  after  salvo  upon 
us,  traces  of  which  were  very  visible.  Ko  damage 
being  none  at  this  distance  by  the  rifle  fire,  I 
ordere<l  our  riflemen  to  use  their  weapons  only 
when  the  ships  weip  about  400  sajen  apart.  At 
that  time  I  dearly  saw  the  red  fez  in  the  port 
holes,  one  fer  on  the  bridge,  busy  with  an  optical  in- 
strument, and  giving  directions  to  several  persons  in 
European  coats  of  dark  blue.  I  wished  to  hit  the 
instrument  and  the  European  uniforms  and  caps,  and 
promi«ed  a  rewani  to  three  of  tho  best  shots  and  the 
commander  of  the  Engstrom  eun  if  they  knocked  off 
these  men.  They  gave  a  salvo  :  two  of  the  blue- 
cuats  fell,  the  tez  disappeared,  but  tho  Instrument 
remained  in  Its  place." 

The  rest  of  the  "report  recoxmts  the  Dravery  of 
indivianai  officers  and  men,  and  ot  two  cabin-boys 
and  a  Greek  interpreter,  who  took  part  in  the  expedi- 
tion as  volunteers.  _ 

A  DAXGEROrS  WIFE  TO  JOKE  WITH. 
The  Fort  Worth  (Texas)  Democrat  says : 
"  Marshal  Oourtright,  of  this  town,  thought  of 
joking  his  wife.  Arriving  atTiome  at  a  late  hour,  he 
entered  the  front  gate,  carefully  dosing  it.  Cau- 
tiously groping  his  way  thither,  what  was  his  sur- 
-prise  to  see  the  right  hand  of  his  wife  lying  on  the 
sill  of  the  window.  On  her  fingers  she  had  two  gold 
rings,  one  of  which  he  proceeded  to  take  off.  It  being 
rather  loose,  he  experienced  but  little  trouble,  and 
Fccceeded  in  the-  operation  without  waking  her  up. 
The  remaining  ring  was  a  much  tighter  fit.  and,  in 
\^  effort  to  extricate  it.  his  wife  awoke,  finding  her 
band  gmaped  from  without  by  some  one  whom  she 
at  once  concltided  was  a  robber.  Quickly  pulling  her 
hand  away,  she  was  about  to  scream,  but  thinking  of 
a  convenient  six-shooter  tmder  her  pillow,  she  again 
placed  her  'jeweled  band'  on  the  sill  which  was 
graai>ed  by  the  supposed  linrglar,  and  with  the  other 
she  quietly  reached  for  the  pistol,  and,  rising  sud- 
denly, brought  it  to  hear  "on  her  husband;  but  for 
his  presence  of  mind  in  quickly  calling  her,  she  would 
have  shot  him  dead.  Mrs.  Courtright  displayed 
great  presence  of  mind,  fortitude,  and  courage,  and 
the  marsliril  should  be  proud  of  possessing  a  wife 
so  fearlwK  and  brave.  His  narrow  escape  has  com- 
pletely cured  him  of  any  further  desire  to  play  the 
role  of  a  midnight  robber." 


TIMBER  SEIZED  OX  THE  SABIXE. 
The  New  Orleans  Picayune  of  the  23d  inst. 
says  :  "  Owing  to  the  late  seizures  of  timber  on  tho 
Sabine  River,  made  under  the'. orders  or  sufferance 
of  United  States  Marshal  Wharton,  of  this  State,  it 
is  pjoMible  that  new  complications  may  arise.  Tim- 
ber has  been  seized  on  this  river,  which,  it  is 
claimed,  was  cut  on  the  Texas  side,  and  belonged 
to  piivate  individuals,  and  should  this  bo  ultimately 
established.  Marshal  Wharton  will  be  liable  on  his 
official  bond  for  any  injury  that  may  be  sustained. 
Residents  of  Texas,  near  the  Sabine,  have  communi- 
cated with  their  Attorney-General,  who  in  turn  com- 
municated with  the  Attorney-General  at  Washing- 
ton. The  matter  was  referred  here  to  CoL  Whar- 
ton, who  called  upon  his  deputy.  Gainey,  to  explain. 
Gainey  stated  that  no  Texas  timber  was  seized,  but 
as  some  doubting  people  do  not  consider  Gainey's 
statements  absolutely  reliable,  it  is  proposed  to  see 
further  into  the  matter,  and  bring  up  the  truth." 


A  HAT  STOLEN  FROM  A  MAXS  HEAD. 
The  Baltimore  Stm  of  Satorday  says  that  on  1 
Friday  afternoon  an  old  gentleman  from  the  cotmtry  ■ 

had  his  new  hat  stolen  from  his  head  in  that  city,  ' 
-Tind  a  shocking  bad  one  substitute  In  its  stead  by  a  ' 
shrewd  thief.-  While  looking  in  the  shop  windows  ' 
some  one  came  up  behind  him.  and  gave  his  hat  a  i 
tilt,  as  he  thought,  and  he  paid  no  attention  to  the  - 
jrudeness.  He  strolled  down  to  the  Post  Office,  and  ; 
there  discovered  to  his  surprise  that  his  own  hat  w^as  ; 
gon^and  that  he  had  on  his  bead  a  dilapidated  tile.  I

Capt  Gambler,  an  officer  in  the  BritaLsh  Armjt 
now  on  leave  of  absence,  is  one  of  the  w»r  oa^»' 
^ondents  of  tho  London  2^m«f .  His  reputation  ac 
anoflUcer  and  a  gentleman  is  unquestioned;  bahaj 
partidpated  in  several  active  campaigns,  and  is  ol 
practical  exiwrieuce  in  the  science  of  war,  aaA  hia 
letters  from  the  front  are  written  without  fevof 
favor.    Writing  under  date  of  Aug.  3,  he  saya : 

'*  Yesterday  I  visited  a  large  Bulgarian,  villan  of 
upward  of  3tK>  houses  that  had  been  sacked,  burned, 
and  the  people  massacred  by  the  Bashi-Bnzookl  on 
the  30th  of  July.  The  village  L^  called  Eaxa-AtU, 
about  16  miles  from  Tt^nova,  toward  PhilippopoUa. 
The  place  is  a  total  wreck,  hardly  one  stoae  standing 
on  another.  It  is  more  completely  destroyed  than 
any  other  I  have  visited.  The  people  had  all  fled,  so 
it  is  difficult  to  say  what  become  of  them,  though  th« 
account  of  the  Bnr%ivors  seems  probable  enoa^i. 
This  is  that  a  great  many  of  tbera  had  leftb*. 
fore  the  30th,  and  gone  to  PhilippopoUa,  bnl 
about  600  remained,  chiefly  women  and  children. 
They  all  ran  away  Into  the  woods  and  fields 
on  the  approach  of  the  Bashi-Bazouks,  and  many 
were  caught  and  slaughtered  at  once,  and  others  are 
roaming  about  until  a  similar  fate  overtakes  them. 
Of  Ihefewcorpses  J  saw,  the  most  shocking  wasa  wom- 
an with  her  head  half  hacked  off,  her  clothes  all  torn 
away  at  the  waist,  and  the  body  half  burned.  t)ogi 
and  pigs  were  devouring  the  bodies,  while  donkeys 
and  cattle  strayed  through  tho  mads  ownerless.  The 
school  had  not  been  burned,  and  h!id  evidently  been 
tho  scene  of  a  terrible  fray.  Blood  on  the  floors  ana 
doorposts,  and  all  kinds  of  household  gear,  school* 
books,  and  other  things  in  the  greater  confusion, 
told  the  same  dreadful  tale.  The  spelUngbooks  and 
childish  copy-books  appealed  powerfully  to  every  hu- 
man instinct  within  one. 

"This  affair  at  Kara-,4tli.  however,  sinks  into  in- 
signiftcauce  before  the  appalling  horror  of  tbe  nta«- 
sacre  at  Geula-Mahaiifoi^.  It  appears  that  on  the 
36th  a  strong  force,  under  Raouf  Pasha?  made  a  te- 
counoissance  from  Yeni-Saghra,  and  spent  a  nighti 
near  the  village  above  named,  which  is  sittiated  n 
little  off  the  line  of  rail  botweeu  Yeui-Saghra  and 
Timova.  After  the  force  had  left,  a  large  body  of 
Circassians  returned  to  the  villace,  and  in  the  first) 
place  carried  off  an  immense  number  of  young  girls, 
whose  fate  can  only  be  guessed  at.  They  then  re- 
turned to  the  village,  aud  found  that  the  re- 
mainder of  the  women  and  children  had  fled 
for  protection  to  the  chtirch.  There  they  slaugh- 
tered them  all,  and  from  that  church  CoL  Leu' 
nox  and  Lieut.  Chennside.  R.  "EL.  militarr  attaches, 
and  Messrs.  Lfcslie  and  Meyrick,  of  the  Aid  to  th* 
Sick  and  ^\utended  Sodety,  brought  out  and  buried 
175  bodies  of  women  an^  children.  Besides  theso 
there  were  many  others  killed  in  different  places 
about  tbe  village,  and  36  wounded  had  their  Trounds; 
dressed  bythe  above  named  mcdicalj-^fficers.  Theseeye- 
witnesses  describe  t  he  S'-ene  in  the  cburrh  &H  something 
inde«crib»blj-  awful.  Tho  deaii  and  the  djong  were 
piled  in  suffocating  heaps,  little  children  crawling 
about  looking  for  their  mothers,  wounded 
mothers  tryirg  to  move  those  ghastly  heap& 
to  find  "their  children,  and  when  fotind 
hardly  able  to  recognize  them  with  the 
fearful  sword  cuts  about  their  little  heads.  Many 
women  had  been  violated  and  subjected  to  fearful 
barbarities,  preimant  women,  ripped  open,  while 
others  had  had  their  breasts  cut  off  or  their  hjuids 
chopped  off  at  tbe  wrist.  A  mother  lay  stone  dead 
and  her  baby  was  vahily  endeavoring  to  get  the  food 
for  which  it  was  starving,  while  an  older  child  wae 
calling  and  pushing  the  dead  woman  to  try  and  make 
her  awake.  Even  while  these  gentlemen  were  in 
the  village  the  murdering  was  going  on  at  another 
part,  and  so  threatening  were  these  ferodous  ruffian: 
that  their  lives  stood  in  very  great  danger.  A  Clr. 
cassian  from  behind  a  bed^  took  a  deliberate  ahot  at 
Mr-  Meyrick,  but  missed  him." 

Another  officer  in  th^  British  service,  Iiient.-OoI. 
Brackenbury,  of  the  Royal  Artillery,  is  also  engaged 
as  a  special  military  correspondent  of  the  London 
Timet.  In  a  recent  letter  to  that  paner  he  writes  as 
follows  1 

"  We  all  feel  sorry  for  the  poor  fellows  who  ara 
driven  to  fight  against  a  wariike  nation  from  the 
Korth,  instead  of  cultivating  roses.  But  the  pitr^ 
becomes  mingled  with  a  sterner  sense  of  justic^ 
when,  later,  we  find  mtirdered  Bulgarian  peasants 
strewing  the  ground  with,  their  throats  cut  trom  car 
to  ear,  and  others  with  gashes  on  their  heads  and 
skulls  dashed  in.  But  again  comes  the  recoU  to  pltr 
when  Princo  Wichtwn stem  rides  up  and  says  that  Ih'o 
Bulgarians  are  murdering  the  wounded  Turks  :  the 
slaves  acting  like  all  other  enslaved  people  when 
they  escape  from  the  lash  of  the  master.  ThU  war  is 
not  an  affair  of  civilizati<<n,  but  of  horror  upon  hor- 
ror. The  Russian  officers  do  all  they  can  to  prevent 
atrocities  of  everv  sort.  According  to  regulation 
the  inhabitants,  whether  Turks  or  Btdgarians,  are 
treated  with  mercy  and  consideration;  the  code  is 
milder  than  that  of  the  Prussians,  but  tbe  Russian 
soldier  looks  on  the  Turk  as  an  animal  whom  he  has 
to  chase  and  kilL  Disdpllne  prevents  the  Russians 
from  committing  excesses,  but  the  Bulgarians  have 
not  the  same  obedience  to  orders,  and  have  felt  tbe 
Turkish  yoke.  Thej'  will  kill  if  they  can.  Among 
the  Russian  officers  it  is  said,  '  We  began  by  Tricking 
war  on  the  Turks  for  the  snke  of  the  Bulgarians ;  we 
shall  end  by  making  war  on  tho  Bulgarian*:  for  the 
sake  of  thoTurks.'  When  later  we  passed  back  over 
the  field  of  battle  to  visit  the  wounded  the  Bulgarian" 
pea'Mints  were  pillaginc  the  dead,  and  were  drivenfrom' 
thelrfoul  work  by  inalrnant  commands  nnd  a  threat 
of  Cossack  whips.  The  position  of  the  tuture  ruler  of ; 
Bulgaria  will  be  cxtremoiy  difficult.  But  what  is  to: 
be  exx>^'*t*d  from  a  people  who  have  been  enslaved^ 
for  centuries,  to  whom  militainr  eervici- — ihe  true 
fountain  of  honor — has  been  forbidden,  whose  women 
have  been  the  property  of  their  masters  f ,  I  assert 
from  my  own  knowlL-dge  that  one  of  the  cbief  quar- 
rels the  Bulgariftn  men  have  with  the  Turks  Is  that 
their  wives  and  daughters  are  violatM  by  their  mas- 
ters, aud  in  many  cases  are  left  in  the  towns  to  bear 
chilrirfln  of  shame  and  abhOTrence.  For  these  thincs 
exerntion  is  being  done,  yet  done  by  judges  who  lack 
power  to  guide  always  the  hand  of- tho  minister  of 
justice.  1  write  the  truth,  as  I  see  it,  without  fear 
or  favor.  The  If  asslan  officers  fiibhor  all  these  atroci- 
ties on  the  one  side  as  on  tlie  other ;  Imt  situated  oc 
this  column  is  at  this  moment,  with  en»-mie5  on  all 
sides,  completely  sepsrated  from  all  ba.ne  of  supplleb 
and  from  all  help,  the  powers  of  every  manoeing 
strained  to  t-ome  through  in  safety,  it  is  impossible  to 
organize  a  proper  systein  of  military  Police." 

The  epeeial  oirrespondent  of  the  Edinburgh  BoaU- 
man^  who  was  with  Gen.  Gourkho  in  his  bold  ri^ 
tfarotigh  Schipka  Pass,  writing  from  that  ofBcer'fl 
head-*iuarters  Aug.  1,  savs : 

"Within  30  v.irds  of  where  T  had  sought  repose 
during  the  few'honrh  of  night,  I  came  upon  a  house,' 
the  walls  still  intact,  but  with  some  of  tho  wood^ 
work  still  smoldering.  Such  scenes,  alas  1  had 
dorine  the  past  10  daj-s  been  but  too  commoxi,  and 
1  would  have  paw^eu  it  by  unheeded  but  that  a  sick- 
ening stench  excited  my  curiosity,  and  I  peeped  in  at 
what  had  been  the  door.  It  is  no  exaggeration  to 
say  that  what  little  hair  I  hod  left  ou  my  bead 
rwe  with  revolting  terror  at  the  awful  sight  pre- 
sented to  me.  The  shell  of  the  bou.^  inclosed  a  mass 
ci  1  imed  Bulgarians  I  Swollen,  blackened  corpses  ot; 
a  battle-field,  mutilated  trunks,  impaled  babies. 
crucified  women,  females  cut  open- — all  had  I 
seen;  yet  none  possessed  half  the  terrible  horror  of 
this  ghastly  commingling  of  charred  skeletons  anc 
lialf-consumed  bodiea.  Only  part  of  them  were  «- 
po<<ed,  for  the  roof  had  fallen  in  ou  the  south  side, 
and  covered  more  than  half  the  floor  space;  but  in 
tbe  heap  nearest  tbe  door  I  counted  the  remains  o£ 
33  human  beinjcs,  besides  the  disconnected  limbs  o:' 
many  more.  They  were  of  all  ages  and  of  both  sexes. 
On  the  day  before,  at  the  capture  of  Yeni-Saphra,  tht 
Turks  in  the  town  hud  risen  upon  the  Bulgarians  anc 
driven  them  into  houses  selected  for  the  purpose, 
locked  them  in.  surrounded  the  houses,  set  fire  u 
them,  and  made  of  the  Euljiarian  wretches  a  bum; 
offering  to  their  vengeance.  Here,  near  the  door,  wae 
the  blackened  corpse  of  a  man  who  had  tried  to  force 
the  door  while  tne  flames  were  circling  overhead, 
but  he  had  been  shot  in  the  chest,  as  could  be  seen 
from  the  bullet  hole  in  the  charred  flesh.  There 
was  a  skeleton.  I  bo  venebne  of  which  Lad  literally 
ctirled  np :  another  wa*  doubled  up  with  the  mos^ 
expressive  contortions ;  a  fourth,  apparently  that  of 
a  woman,  had  in  agony  chipsed  the  neck  of  a  fifth  a^ 
its  side.  Over  against  this  heap  were  several  wltl. 
the  bones  of  theletr*  drawn  tip.  the  skuH-  thrown  back. 
and  griiaiing  fleabless  in  the  most  ghastly  manner. 
The  remains  of  youths  and  babes  were  also  there, 
lees  and  arms  twisted  and  bent  past  resemblance  tc 
hum-in  form :  while  limbs  and  skulls  strewn  here 
and  there  showed  that  tbe  hacked  bodies  of  the  deac

tVe  have  fallen  indeed  upon  new  times 
Wlken  a  cultdTated,  refined,  and  not  nndevoafe 
Rngli<hwoman  can  yriteabook  so  radical  as  thia, 
»nd  a  leading  Boston  pnblishing  house  finds  ad- 
rantage  in  giving  it  to  the  public  in  such  hand- 
lome  style.  Here  ire  have  a  f^t  more  startling 
(ban  we  were  prepared  for,  an  attempt  to  con- 
rtruct  a  system  of  ethics  ■without  IntnitlTe  ideas 
»r  positive  revelation,  and  to  set  forth  the  reli- 
t^on  of  the  future  without  a  personal  God  and 
the  immortality  of  the  souL  Here  we  have  Spi- 
coia  come  again  and  in  petticoats,  and  with  less 
podtiTe  faith  than  he  had  200  years  ago.  Miss 
Bimcos  does  not  find  any  such  object  of  de» 
rotlon  in  the  universe  as  the  substance 
Epinoza  called  by  the  name  of  God  with  such 
rapture,  but  she  presents  the  universe  of  nature 
snd  mind,  the  universnm,  as  she  calls  it,  as  the 
supreme  fact ;  and  while  she  is  by  no  means 
in^e  that  it  is  so  very  good,  she  cannot  think 
that  it  is  very  bjid,  and  she  urges  us  to  make 
the  best  of  it  in  our  life  and  our  worship.  She 
8oe3  not  read  it  geometrically  as  he  did,  but 
Kith  the  help  of  all  the  scionces,  and  she  under- 
takes to  show  that  however  many  of  the  old 
Illusions  the  new  science  has  taken  away,  it  has 
left  enough  for  us  to  study  and  to  love,  enough 
for  us  to  live  for  and  even  to  adore.  How  she 
makes  out  her  case  we  will  try  briefly  to  show, 
»nd  then  say  what  we  think  of  her  bold  essay. 

She  begins  by  explaining  w°hat  she  means  by 
natural  law  ;  and  here,  as  everywbere,  she  aims 
to  remove  the  usual  distinctions  between  nature 
and  mind,  and  to  trace  out  the  same  system  of 
laws ,  through  the  kingdoms  of  nature,  and  the 
taeultiea  and  experiences  of  human  life.  In 
her  view,  ';  law  is  a  statement  of  constant  rela- 
tions posited  by  the  nature  of  things."  She 
does  not  rely  upon  the  personal  will  of  God  as 
the  foundation  of  natural  law,  but  insists  only 
upon  the  two  essentials  of  a  law— that  the  rela- 
tion which  it  formulates  should  be  constant, 
and  that  it  should  be  the  result  of  constant 
qnalitiss  in  the  things  related.  She  accepts  a 
personal  subject  of  the  law  without  accepting 
necessarily  a  personal  law  giver,  and  she  treats 
the  moral  law  very  much  as  she  treats  the 
law  of  gravitation,  which  bears  upon  all  persons 
tnd  all  things  without  implying  of  necessity 
any  personal  lawgiver.  liaw,  morality,  and  re- 
ligion are  in  her  view  statements  of  the  con- 
stant necessities  or-  modes  of  human  conduct 
that  are  imposed  upon  man  by  his  various  ob- 
jective relatiotis.  Law,  in  its  ordinary  sense, 
states  the  compalslou  exercised  on  his  wUl  by 
other  human  wills ;  morality  states  the  compul- 
sion exercised  from  within  his  own  nature  in 
relation  mainly  to  these  other  wills,  while  re- 
ligion stands  for  the  compulsion  exewised  on 
man  by  the  strongest  general  influences  ot  the 
imiverse,  or  by  what  Matthew  Arnold  calls  the 
Not-Ourselves.  Thus  positive  law  is  the  rule 
for  the  actions,  while  moral  law  includes  inteu- 
N  tion  as  well  as  act,  and  religion -is  the  law  of 
fplritual  libeyty,  which  reaches  the  inclinations 
as  well  as  the  will  and  deed. 

The  chapter  on  customary  and  positive  law 
contains  a  great  deal  of  careful  study  and  fine 
thought,  and  one  may  accept  its  leading  idea — 
that  specific  cases  go  before  written  statutes, 
r.nd  that  all  practical  legislation  has  its  roots  in 
^  previous  usages — without  getting  aside,  as  the 
author  does,  the  Divine  factor  in  the  social 
order.  She  is  not  content  either  ^th  the  theo- 
logical,  the  utilitarian,  or  the  ideal  derivation  of 
laws;  but  she  traces  laws  to  the  nature  of 
things,  and  she  is  as  sure  of  the  right  of  society 
to  make  laws  as  she  is  sure  of  the  right  of  fire 
to  bum.  Law  is  required  by  the  irresistible 
force  which  she  designates  as  the  tendency  of 
contemporarx  being — »  definition  well  enough 
in  its  way,  although  it  is  very  Important 
'or  us,  especially  in  these  times,  to  know 
what  we  mean  by  contemporary  being,  and 
whether  it  is  heads  or  heels ;  and  if  heads,  what 
kind  of  heads,  that  are  to  make  the  laws  that 
Qxpresss  the  tendency  of  contemporary  being, 
and  what  idea  those  heads  have  of  the  eternal 
law  of  justice  whose  "seat  Is  the  bosom  of 
God." 

The  author  introduces  her  valuable  chapter  on 
morality  by  a  statement  of  the  distinction  be- 
tween the  law  of  nature  scientifically  rendered 
and  htunan  laws  with  their  sense  of  constraint 
and  the  addition  of  consciousness  to  a  real 
causal  or  fixed  order  of  relations.  She  uses 
with  emphasis  the  phrase  **  consciousness  of 
causation,"  by  which  she  means  not  merely  the 
perception  that  a  fixed  order  exists,  but  a  direct 
coxisciousness  of  the  steps  in  such  order  apart 
from  the  desire  of  the  conscious  subject.  She 
does  not  mean  to  teach  or  imply  that  conscious- 
'ness  of  causation  is  consciousness  of  being  the 
iH>nrce  of  causative  purpose,  but  of  being  the 
subject  of  a  causative  tendency  from  the  nature 
of  things.  Her  definition  of  moral  good  has  a 
certain  elevation,  although  not  the  highest.  It 
is  not  merely  natural  good  or  *'  the  perfection  of 
a  thing  of  its  kind  by  experience,  nor  sensible 
good  or  pleasure,  the  enjoyment  of  natural  good; 
but  it  is  the  pursuit  of  natural  good  in  face  of  all 
obstacles,  such  'as  come  either  from  the  imper- 
fection of' the  organism,  the  imperfection  of  the 
world,  or  the  instability  of  the  specific  type  or 
standard  of  conduct  and  desire  as  receding 
with  the  evolution  of  new  powers  and  purposes. 
She  is  not  satisfied  with  the  utilitarianism  that 
Tests  upon  the  union  between  natural  good  and 
pleasure,  but  she  insists  upon  the  need  of 
ddelity  to  the  most  perfect  known  standard,  in 
spite  of  all  difflculties.  Morality  thus  begins 
with  the  consciousness  of  opposition  between 
the  nature  of  the  individual  and  its  environ- 
ment, or  the  reaction  of  the  man  against  the 
circumstances  about  him.  The  motives  which 
are  back  of  inoral  conduct — such  as  ambition, 
sympathy,  love — may  be  traced  at  last  to  natural 
or  physical  causes,  yet  she  regards  them  as 
none  the  less  moral  because  efTecUve  in  making 
man  do  his  part  in  the  social  order.  Good  and 
evil  are  words  that  mean  for  her  what  our 
whole  mind  and  heart  approve  or  condemn,  and 
it  is  the  human  wiU  that  is  praised  or  blamed 
because  moral  obligation  centres  there,  although 
she  reminds  us  that  we  are  no  more  the  authors 
of  our  will  power  than  ot  our  constitution  and 
stature.  A  hump  back  is  an  evil,  although  we 
did  not  make  it ;  and  a  vice  is  an  evil,  although 
it  may  bo  inherited.  Still,  moral  perfection  is 
the  deliberate  pursuit  of  the  elected  best 
through  every  obstacle,  within  and  without,  in 
face  of  the  moral  evil,  which  is  as  much  a 
historical  fact  as  malice  and  crime. 

The  80  pages  upon  Religion  will  have  for 
most  readers  more  interest  than  any  other  por- 
tion of  the  volume,  because  the  subject  is  so  im- 
portant, and  because  it  Is  treated  with  so  much 
thought  and  feeling  and  with  such  remarkable 
study  and  recognition  ot  the  finer  and  deeper 
sxperiences  of  the  devout  life.  Few  of  our 
preachers  have  gone  further  into  the  depths  of 
the  soul  than  this  Positivist  apostle  of  Evolu- 
tion,  who  has  looked  into  the  pages  of  a  Kempis 
and  of  St.  John  of  the  Cross  as  earnestly  as 
Into  the  pat;es  of  Herbert  Spencer  and  Matthew 
Arnold.  Tet  she  is  wonderfully  set  in  her  ex- 
treme radicalism,  and  she  cannot  even  agree 
with  Arnold  and  Spencer  in  regarding  the  su- 
preme reality  unknowable,  but  she  regards  it 
as  constantiy  making  itself  known  in  all  our 
observations  of  nature  and  life,  and  very 
much  like  everything  that  we  know.  To  her 
the  religious  sentiment  is  the  going  out  of  the 
whole  emotional  nature  of  the  self  toward  that 
whiah  is  ths  not-self,  and  it  is  oomplete  aecord- 
taBMtb«Mi£ia  •aBMtsw  at 


power  of  the  eoUeetiTe  Influences  of  the  not- 
self.  She  looks  to  setenee  as  the  best  means  f  or  - 
bringing  the  universe  to  bear  npon  this  emo- 
tion, and  she  regards  science  as  cutmlnattng  in 
the  knowledge  of  the  best  tendencies  In  the 
natural  world.  In  her  own  language,  "these 
tendencies  are  not  persons  or  entities,  but  they 
are  peifoctiy  natural  and  legitimate  objects  of 
feeling,  and  in  proportion  to  the  aensibility  of 
men  to  those  natural  Infinences,  which  '  make 
for  righteousness,'  will  be  their  affection  for 
the  powers  which  have  called  and  chosen  them 
for  the  service  of  the  best,  i.  «.,  their  religions 
reverence  for  the  supreme  not-self."  There  can 
be  no  doubt  of  the  strength  of  the  subjective 
element  in  reli^ous  feeling,  or  in  the  human 
need  and  faculty  of  love  and  reverence.  The 
question  is  as  to  what  object  we  can  love  and 
revere  in  place  of  the  personal  God ;  and  the 
author  tries  to  make  it  out  that  the  universe  is  to 
be  regarded  as  this  object  by  the  wisdom  and 
piety  of  the  future.  Even  the  intense  sense  of 
personality,  which  is  so  natural  to  men  and 
women,  is  to  help  out  the  new  religion  by  ena- 
bling us  to  cherish  our  human  characters  as 
personal  mirrors  of  the  larger  not-self,  or  as 
helps  to  a  devout  recognition  of  the  infinite  alL 
Yet  no  man  nor  woman,  nor  all  humanity  living 
or  dead,  is  sufficient  to  represent  the  supreme 
not-self,  which  comprehends  aU  being,  exist- 
ence, nature  and  life,  things  and  persons.  The 
author's  religion  practically  seems  to  be  a  kind 
of  humanitarian  socialism.  In  her  own  words, 
"  it  is  agreement,  outspoken  agreement,  a 
friendship  as  brotherly  as  in  primitive  reli- 
gions, between  all  those  who  have  one  faith  in 
human  nature,  one  hope  in  human  effort,  one 
God  in  the  aouTs  vision  of  a  perfect  light,  and, 
alas,  one  baptism  of  sin,  sorrow,  and  privation, 
from  which  few  of  ns  emerge  without  wounds, 
stain,  or  discouragement." 

The  four  chapters  which  follow  and  treat  of 
the  natural  history  of  altruism,  the  natural 
sanction  of  morality,  social  and  individual 
perfection,  and  conclusions  pro  and  con,  run 
very  much  in  the  paths  already  pointed  out. 
Altruism,  or  regard  for  others,  is  seen  to  oome 
very  naturally  from  the  pursuit  of  good  objects 
in  society ;  rectitude  is  shown  to  be  the  way  to 
the  best  ends ;  personal  completeness  is  found 
in  the  true  social  order,  and  in  the  future  of 
civilization  it  may  be  seen  that  under  a  compre- 
hensive and  just  public  opinion,  in  view  of  the 
duties  of  men  tio  each  other,  the  claims  from 
this  quarter  may  be  as  infinite  and  pressing 
as  the  demands  of  any  imaginary  creator. 
Great  as  the  new  burden  of  duty  will  be,  the 
help  will  be  in  proportion,  for  it  is  to  be  borne 
in  common.  The  law  that  is  binding  upon  .one 
is  binding  upon  all,  and  every  service  that  is 
rendered  may  be  repaid  a  thousand  fold.  Ko 
new  heaven  is  needed  to  make  life  happy  ;  and 
the  author  ends  her  book  with  a  touch  of  poetry 
that  hints  of  a  good  beyond  the  limit  of  her  too 
earthly  creed:  "  Heaven  and  hell  are  names  or 
visions ;  the  earth  is  ours — here  a  hell  of 
sensuality  and  hardened  cruelty,  there  a  heaven 
of  love  ami  beauty  and  wisdom,  with  a  tender 
smile  upon,  her  gracious  lips,  and  yearning 
prophecy  in  the  melting  depths  of  her  un- 
fathomable eyes.  "■ 

This  work  is  remarkable  more  as  a  thought- 
ful and  earnest  and  sometimes  eloquent  appli- 
cation of  the  Positive  Philosophy  that  accepts 
facts  and  relations  and  ignores  final  causes 
rather  than  as  an  original  cx>ntribution  to  that 
philosophy.  It  is  especially  valuable  in  bring- 
ing home  to  us  the  results  of  this  bold  school  ot 
thinking  and  trying  to  make  it  square  with  our 
daily  life  and  our  habitual  methods.  As  a 
woman's  book  it  is  quite  telling,  and  it  will 
show  to  many  sagacious  men  tho  real  bearing  of 
ideas  that  they  have  often  heard  or  read  list- 
lessly. As  a  woman's  book,  moreover,  it  shows 
what  advances  the  new  thought  has  made,  since 
a  woman  rarely  accepts  a  system  until  it  has 
taken  strong  hold  of  the  human  mind,  and  it  is 
felt  by  her  as  a  human  power  as  well  as  ac- 
cepted by  her  as  an  intellectual  faith.  Wo  mast 
make  up  our  minds  to  this  result,  and  accept 
the  undoubted  fact  that  we  have  fallen 
upon  new  times,  and  the  acre  of  positive 
science  has  come  and  is  battling  away  at  the 
foundations  of  ail  old  ideas  and  institutions. 
Conservative  thinkers,  however,  are  not  to  be 
frightened  by  the  new  crusade,  but  they  are 
bound  to  look  well  to  their  posts  and  their  arms, 
and  see  that  a  good  cause  does  not  suffer  by  their 
neglect  of  their  own  just  methods ,  or  by  their 
failure  to  turn  the  methods  of  their  adversaries 
against  them,  and  to  beat  them  upon  their  own 
fields  of  science.  The  friends  of  science  who 
also  are  beUevers  in  the  Supreme  God  as  the 
First  Cause  of  the  universe,  and  as  the  source  of 
all  life  and  intelligence,  are  at  'Uberty  alike  to 
note  the  defective  science  of  this  pretentious 
book,  and  to  condemn  its  utter  neglect  of  the 
highest  facts  of  the  universe  and  of  the  best 
experience  of  mankind.  A  few  remarks  must 
sufBce  in  order  to  state  impressions  that  might 
easily  fill  a  volume. 

While  Miss  Simcox  does  not  in  set  form  declare 
and  try  to  prove  any -definite  system  of  nature 
or  principles  of  science,  she  takes  for  granted 
one  of  the  extreme  theories  of  the  universe. 
Thus,  what  can  well  be  more  dogmatic  and  less 
justified  by  severe  science  than  a  statement  like 
this  on  page  4  ?  "As  the  animal  eye  is  made  by 
the  action  of  the  light  which  it  perceives  upon 
specially  organized  matter,  so  the  animal  mind 
is  made  by  the  perceptions  It  registers  through  a 
still  higher  development  of  the  vital  mechan- 
ism." How  does  the  author  know  all  this  1  It 
is  theory  and  not  science.  There  is  no  proof 
that  the  li^t  makes  the  eye,  or  that  mind — 
whether  of  the  animal  kind  or  any  other — is  the 
result  of  mechanism.  Science  in  its  high- 
est teachers  does  not  presume  to  tell 
us  how  the  eye  was  made  or  how 
conscious  mind  came.  The  position  is  still 
invincible  that  life  is  the  necessary  condition 
of  life,  and  that  no  material  mechanism  can 
produce  animal  vitality  or  conscious  intelligence. 
'What  ages  of  evolution  may  do  imaeination 
may  conjecture,  but  positive  science  cannot 
prove  ;  and  even  if  it  could  be  shown  that  all 
organization  has  been  gradually  developed  from 
lowest  forms  to  highest,  by  apparently  inherent 
law,  the  question  still  remains  as  to  the  relation 
of  this  inherent  law  to  the  eternal  spirit  and 
the  Omnipotent  WilL  Prof.  Benjamin  Peiroe, 
of  Harvard  University,  who  is  called  the  best 
mathematical  head  in  this  country,  in  a  recent 
address  has  well  put  this  point  of  the  relation 
of  law  to  religion  : 

"That  all  animals  have  succeedodeach  other  under 
law  ia  the  whole  of  the  development  theory.  That 
is  all  that  science  has  to  do  with  it.  Science  merely 
studies  what  the  order  is  and  what  the  law  is.  It 
does  not  ko  buhind  that  point.  There  la  the  'laestion 
behind;  How  is  the  law.  executed?  Is  it  executed 
ImmediBtel^  by  the  act  of  the  Creator  f  Does  He  at 
every  moment  Interfere,  and  when  I  will  to  act  does 
He  carry  out  my  will  I  Or  does  He  place  the  law 
under  secondary  causes,  so  that  it  U  carried  out  in 
that  way  f  That  is  no  question  of  science  ;  it  be- 
longs to  philosophy  in  general.  It  is  a  question  of 
religion  if  yon  -will,  but  science  is  not  in  any  way 
affected  by  it,  whatever  may  be  your  decision.  It  ia 
no  part  or  the  Darwinian  theory,  of  the  development 
theory,  or  any  other  theory  of  tho  unlverae." 

Our  author  goes  far  beyond  the  bounds  of 
such  science  by  at  once  affirming  a  theory  of  the 
universe  as  a  fact,  and  by  adding  the  dogma  of 
atheism  to  a  theory  of  speculative  sofence.  She 
does  as  wrongly,  and  perhaps  wors/,  in  her  gen- 
eral habit  of  letting  down  aU  tne  moral  and 
spiritual  facts  and  experiences  of\ man  to  the 
plane  of  matter,  and  of  trying  to>  reduce  all 
spirit  to  matter,  all  metaphysics  to  physics. 
This  is  the  vice  of  her  whole  schooL  She  goes 
beyond  her  oraole,  Spinoza,  in  this  respect ;  for,

some  hope  that  good  may  turn  in  the  end.  She 
gives  up  thaolc^  and  metaphysics  for  what  she 
calls  loienee,  but  her  solenoe  is  as  dogmatlo 
as  any  theology  and  as  speculative  as  any 
metaphyslos,  irith  far  leas  of  ideal  wis- 
dom and  spiritual  enthusiasm  than  either. 
She  begins  with  matter,  and  while  earnest  to 
see  and  help-on  the  evolution  of  the  perfection 
thatis  called  moral  and  soiritual,  she  is  not  sure  of 
any  satisfactory  future  good  on  earth,  and  she, 
does  not  see  clearly  that  the  end  of  the  universe 
may  be  better  than  the  beginning,  which  was 
dust,  or  less  than  dust.  She  believes,  in  her 
■way,  in  the  universe ;  but  she  has  no  positive 
faith  as  to  what  it  may  evolve,  and  she  tempts  us 
to  ask  "  whether  a  God  may  not  be  evolved,  and 
If  she  is  siire  that  it  may  not  be  a  Satan."  More- 
over, strong  and  decided  as  is  the  author's  re- 
oognition  of  the  historical  factore  of  all  progress 
and  of  the  transmission  of  natural  and  intel- 
lectual elements  of  life,  her  rendering  ot  his- 
tory is  made  superficial  and  inadequate  by  her 
disparagement  or  neglect  of  the  moral  and 
spiritual  factors  in  time.  Without  religion  the 
records  of  the  human  law  are  an  absurdity,  and 
man  is  not  man  without  positive  religious  ideas 
and  motives.  Faith  belongs  to  our  race,  and  it 
was  as  much  a  part  of  the  highest  Greek  cul- 
ture as  of  the  Hebrew  and  Christian  devotion, 
and  faith  was  the  root  of  virtue  as  of  worship. 
Thtis  Sophocles  spoke  of  the  "firm  unwritten 
laws  of  the  just  gods :  " 

"  These  are  not  of  to-day 
Or  yesterday,  bat  tfaroogh  all  ages  live. " 

and  Plato  in  the  fourth  book  of  his  laws,  his 
code  of  ethics,  makes  the  Athenian  say,  "  God  is 
the  measure  of  all  things  in  a  sense  far  higher 
than  any  man  could  be,  as  the  common  saying 
aflrma.  And  he  who  would  be  dear  to  God 
must,  as  far  as  is  possible,  be  like  him  and  such 
as  He  is."  Now  a  faith  akin  to  this  belong;  to 
our  human  nature,  ana  has  gone  into  history,  and 
is  part  of  the  life  of  our  race.  Christianity  is  its 
consummation,  for  this  allows  us  to  accept  all 
that  Is  truly  human  and  all  that  is  purely 
divine  as  our  religion.  As  the  greatest 
master  of  ethics  in  our  time,  Richard  Rothe, 
has  said,  "  Christ  is  the  sunrise  of  God 
in  history."  and  in  Christ  he  finds  at  once  the 
Ughtnf  wisdom,  and  the  solar  force  of  virtue. 
So,  then,  it  is  false  history  as  well  as  poor  sci- 
ence to  ignore  the  divine  factor  in  experience, 
and  to  deny  to  the  Spirit  of  God  all  power  in 
the  evolutions  of  the  ages,  and  to  find  that 
power  only  in  material  things  and  their  rela- 
tions. 

Nor  does  this  essay  in  ethics  look  any  better 
when  tested  by  the  standard  of  results.  How 
it  falsifies  and  belitUes  the  human  mind  to  rob 
it  of  its  power  of  looking  into  the  intention  as 
into  the  efficient  causes  of  things.  The  history 
of  man  is  a  blank,  if  we  are  not  allowed  to  look 
for  the  purposes  that  men  have  had  in  view  in 
their  thonghta  and  labors,  their  efforts  and  sac- 
rifices, and  if  we  are  allowed  only  to  contem- 
plate the  blind  forces  that  drove  them  on  to  their 
work  and  their  doom.  Is  the  history  of 
the  universe  any  more  generous  and  luminous 
to  us  when  we  are  deprived,  as  by  this 
author's  principles,  of  the  liberty  of 
tracing  out  the  intentions  df  the  Supreme 
Mind  in  the  final  causes  of  the  structures  and 
functions  that  appear  in  the  kingdom  of  na- 
ture and  culminate  in  mani  We  know  very 
well  indeed  that  the  study  of  final  causes  is  apt 
to  be  very  misguided,  and  that  fancy  and  super- 
stition set  their  own  ends  in  place  of  the  ends 
of  God  and  nature,  and  are  wise  or  foolish  be- 
yond the  teaching  of  the  facts.  But  why  abdi- 
cate a  power  because  it  is  abused  I  >Vhy  deny 
that  we  can  see  any  real  aim  in  the  universe  be- 
cause too  many  aims  have  been  imagiued  i 
Nay.  we  abdicate  the  human  mind  itself  the 
moment  we  .succead  In  stopping  tho  search  for 
aims ;  and  when  a  so-called  philosopher  of  our 
day  tells  us  that  the  universe  has  not  any  end 
or  purpose,  while  we  see  that  every  litUe  flower 
and  bird  has  an  obvious  purpose,  and  how 
raarvelously  the  bird  and  flower  are  con- 
joined to  each  other,  the  common  sense 
of  mankind  tells  such  philosopher  that 
if  every  thing  means  something,  all 
things  must  mean  more,  and  that  the  Almighty 
God  is  the  only  explanation  of  the  universe  in 
its  first  cause  and  its  final  causes — the  Almighty 
God  who  is  none  the  leu  personal  because  His 
personality  is  not  limited  as  our  own. 

Miss  Simcox  does  not  see  or  recognize  any 
God.  She  says  :  "  There  is  no  God  to  make  the 
rough  way  smooth.  But  though  tho  struggle  is 
hard,  victory  is  always  possible  to  the  single 
lover  of  truth  and  rectitude."  Surely  the  vic- 
tory is  not  easier  to  her  because  there  is  no  God 
to  smooth  the  way,  and  every  system  of  ethics 
is  robbed  of  its  heart  and  life  when  the  sense  of 
duty  and  the  resolve  of  virtue  find  no  light  or 
motive  in  the  Supreme  Being,  who  is  theetemal 
light  and  the  undying  love.  There  are  appar- 
entiy  men  and  women  who  do  what  they  think 
to  be  right  without  any  reference  to  God's  will, 
but  it  remains  to  be  seen  whether  the.se  have  not 
been  educated  under  religious  sanction ;  and 
the  result  will  probably  show  that,  like  this  ac- 
compished  author  and  her  associates,  they  have 
carried  into  the  camp  of  atheism  the  nurture  and 
habit  of  their  Christian  Church  and  home,  and. 
reversing  the  method  of  the  Hebrews  of  the 
Exodus,  they  have  spent  the  treasures  of  Israel 
in  the  camp  and  courts  of  the  Egyptians. 

What  is  to  come  of  this  godless  study  of 
nature  which  this  remarkable  book  presents 
and  represents  it  is  not  easy  to  say.  Vet.  without 
much  doubt,  it  is  the  part  of  calm,.5cholarly. 
and  devout  wisdom  to  believe  that  in  the  end 
the  new  realm  of  knowledge  and  thejjry  thus 
opened  will  be  possessed  by  a  godly/raith  and 
virtue,  and  that  in  time  the  antagonism  between 
science  and  religion  will  be  lost  in  a  synthesis 
that  shall  reconcile  all  differences  and  accept 
nature  and  human  life  within  the  catholicity  of 
culture  and  Christianity.  Study  and  striving 
of  themselves  inay  not  do  this,  although  they 
may  touch  and  invigorate  a  power  beyond 
themselves  in  tho  new  ages  as  in  the  old. 

The  Eternal  Spirit  is  greater  and  stronger 
than  His  children,  and  possesses  them  more 
than  they  possess  Him,  a  truth  which  gives  us 
more  hope  for  students  of  science  than  they 
have  for  themselves.

Three  learned  gentlemen  in  combination 
present  us  here  with  their  ideas  on  the  ancient 
theme  of  the  serpent,  the  symbol  of  so  many  eth- 
nic superstitions.  The  treatises  are  republished 
from  the  Journal  of  the  Anthropological  Society 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  and  prefaced  by 
an  introduction  from  the  editor.  The  book, 
elegantiy  printed  and  presented  in  stiff  paper 
covers,  has  the  undeniable  merit  of  being  a 
brief  one,  comprising  only  46  pages,  while  it 
contains  an  amount  of  information  and  sugges- 
tion which  might  have  been  drawn  out  and 
dressed  up  in  an  octavo  of  500  ;  and  all  the 
more  easily  tliat  the  authors  have  Intertwined 
their  subject  of  "  the  spirited  sly  snake  "  with 
the  race  origins  and  race  migrations  attributed 
to  several  old  families  of  men,  and  discussed 
the  Tiunnians,  Dravidians,  Aryans,  Semites, 
and  other  ethnio  nomenclatures. 

In  treating  his  subject  Mr.  Clarke  quotes 
Prof.  W.  M.  Gabb's  valuable  paper  (published 
in  the  proceedings  of  the  American  Philosophical 
Society)  on  the  "  Indian  Tribes  and  Languages 
of  Costa  Bica,"  and  presents  a  list  of  the  tribes 
who  still,  on  the  Atlantis  and  Pacific  slopes  of 
the  isthmus,  preserve  the  remains  of  their 
ancient  forms  of  speech.  These  are  tbe  Bribris, 
Cabeeaia,  ITrens,  Ohanginas,  and  Valley  family, 
vhita    ia    oaniBlasiaB.  and  bbb>- 


bezing  about  1,300  persons,  many  of  whom 
nse  stone  axes  with  wooden  handles — 
altogether  a  very  interesting  group 
of  Aborigines.  Their  words  will  he 
a  great  help  to  the  study  of  comparative 
philology ;  and  in  this  connection  Mr.  Clarke  well 
observes:  "it  is  when  we  learn  the  thought 
which  governed  the  application  of  a  word  that 
we  know  how  the  human  mind  operated  in  the 
prehistorie  epoch."  His  comparison  of  the 
vocabularies  ef  Costa  Rica  and  those  of  Africa 
and  India  tends  to  show  tnat  the  people  of 
Bribri  and  the  other  tribes  must  have  got  their 
ideas  and  speech  from  the  older  world,  es- 
pecially from  Africa.  The  powerful  immemorial 
custom  of  the  Atlantic— tho  Draught  {"  wind,") 
would  have  a  good  deal  to  do  with  such  a  state 
of  things. 

In  these  essays  a  number  of  ancient  words, 
from  the  Hebrew  and  other  sourees,  are  quoted 
and  compared  in  a  manner  that  must  interest 
the  ethnologists,  philolog'ists,  and  other  critics 
of  literary  ancientry.  But  while  the  names  for 
the  Serpent  are  proved  to  have  been,  in  many 
places  those  for  God,  the  Sun,  Eve,  Seth,  Pyth- 
on, &c.,_  there  is  no  attempt  to  explain  the 
reason  why  such  a  curious  cult  should  have 
made  its  way  over  such  vast  surfaces  ot  the 
globe,  and  why  men  should  have  espe- 
cially chosen  for  their  reverence  such-  a  very 
repulsive  sort  of  animal — serpent,  snake, 
worm  or  dragon.  And  yet  the  raimn  Setn  of 
the  serpent-fetich  or  the  serpent-god  -will  be 
plain  enough  by  and  by,  and  it  will  help  to  ex- 
plain the  existence  o^all  the  other  mythological 
animals  so  fantastically  played  with  and  inter- 
preted by  men  in  the  infancy  of  the  race  or  the 
world,  viz.,  the  cow,  the  lamb  or 
sheep,  the  beetie,  the  hawk,  the  bull, 
the  horse,  the  dove,  the  fish,  the 
cat,  the  dog,  the  crocodile,  the  wolf,  and  a 
crowd  of  others  traceable  in  the  classic  and 
Asiatic  records,  and  among  the  tribes  of  Africa 
and  America.  That  idolatry  of  animals  existed 
everywhere  in  the  world,  showing  that  it  must 
have  been  suggested  by  some  grotesque  logic 
which  would  be  very  natural  and  suitable  to  the 
notions  of  people  in  the  condition  of  semi-bar- 
barians. That  logic  may  bo  discovered  in  tho 
imperfection  and  poverty  of  early  speech.  It 
■was  a  wild  growth  of  language,  the  divtnest 
agency  of  nature,  a  thing  which  has  in  all  ages 
of  the  world,  early  or  late,  been  turned  and 
twisted  to  sanction  the  fanciful  wan- 
derings of  the  human  intellect  and  all 
the  forms  of  human  superstition.  Among 
the  earliest  utterances  of  men  would  be  the 
names  for  "  child,"  and  this  was  bestowed  upon 
everything  bom,  whether  of  the  human,  the 
quadruped,  or  tho  reptile  tribe ;  and  ■we  ac- 
cordingly find  that  in  all  old  languages,  living 
or  dead,  the  words  for  the  baby  served  for  the 
animal  cub  and  the  offspring  ot  the  grub. 
"Create"  and  *' Creator"  were  words  shaped 
from  some  word  for  baby,  and  croth — the  Egyi>- 
tian  word  for  child — will  servo  as  proof  as  well 
as  any  other.  The  human  being,  in  fact, 
came  to  recognize  bis  own  name  as  child 
and  man  in  the  name  originally  given 
to  every  living  thing,  and  the  observant 
mythologists  of  a  later  age,  finding  that  the 
terms  for  "  men,"  "  animals,"  "  origin,"  and 
"  Creator"  were  very  nearly  the  same,  mado  out 
their  supcmaturalism  accordingly.  Religion, 
in  fact,  grow  by  degrees  out  of  paronoinaitia,  or 
"  punning  "—the  first  literary  exercise  of  our 
race  in  early  ages  or  stages  of  language  :  so 
that  after  a  time  an  increasing  swarin  of  double 
meanings  covered  ti]te^,,entire  surface  of  what 
may  be  terme<i  Uterature7^"*oot  deep,  and  pre- 
pared that  bewildering  field  of  archaic. inquiry 
in  which  our  learned  men  have  been  always 
going  astray.  The  oldest  writings  on  record 
carry  a  crowd  of  puns  on  almost  every  page,  and 
the  most  learned  people  of  antiquity  have 
recognized  a  kind  of  divinity  in  paronoiiiafia. 
The  pun  was  actually  the  first  figure  of  human 
speech ;  and  it  will  yet  give  us  a  key  to  unlock 
the  door  of  the  Pyramids  and  read  the  riddle  of 
the  Sphinx.  The  totftns  of  all  human  tribes 
were  puns.  The  term  totem  (the  Lycyisn  tedeeme) 
meant,  and  means,  "children."  "  family  ;"  not 
alone  of  men,  but  of  the  animals — such  as  wolf, 
bear,  bull,  and  all  the  rest ;  and  thud  the  men  of 
the  early  races  acrustomed  themselves  to  have  a 
common  sort  of  kindly  feeling  for  those  crea- 
tures. In  this  way  they  came  to  adopt  their 
totems,  which  were,  certainly,  the  rudiments  of 
all  supematurallsm.  Worship  began  on  very 
low  ground,  very  probably.  The  totein  (an 
.\siatic  word)  has  been  represented  b-^  fetiche  in 
Africa,  and  by  kobong  in  Australia  ;  and  it  was 
the  lar  of  the  Etruscans,  this  fact  showing  that 
the  idea  had  its  origin  in  the  household — in  a 
sentiment  of  love  and  relationship,  and  not  of 
terror.  The  Hebrews  knew  what  the  totem 
meant ;  and  their  women  pronounced  it  diidaim, 
as  the  rabbis  tell  us.  Rachel,  going  from  her 
own  tribe  to  that  of  her  husband.  Jacob,  carried 
away  ■with  her  some  totems,  or  teraphim  (a  word 
in  which  we  may  perceive  the  old  term  "tribe."') 
She  might  have  had  among  them  one  or  two 
more  in  the  shape  of  her  own  name,  ("sheep" 
or  "lamb,")  and  these  would  fairly  belong  to 
herself,,  and  not  to  Lahan.  The  serpent  was 
originally  a  totem,  or  lar,  the  honored  symbol  of 
a  family  or  tribe,  before  it  was  raised  to  the  po- 
sition of  a  deity.  It  carried  with  it  a  household 
significance,  and  was  regarded  as  the  bringer  of 
health,  good  fortune,  and  other  blessings  to  its 
namesakes.  It  was  also  regarded  as  a  wise 
animal,  because  its  names  had,  and  still  have,  a 
resemblance  to  men's  ancient  words  for  "  talk" 
and  "  knowledge."  It  was,  in  fact,  a  good  and 
blessed  creature  in  the  huts  and  caverns  of  the 
early  tribes.  The  Hebrews  honored  it  as  a 
healer  ;  and  it  is  to  be  noted  that  Shelley,  the 
pbet,  always  speaks  of  it  with  a  respect  and  ten- 
derness which  secme<l,  in  the  opinion  of  a  great 
many,  to  show  that  the  mau  loved  perversity  in 
all  things.  But  he  had  the  true  insight  of  an- 
tiquity, a  thing  wanting,  apparently,  in  the 
mind  of  Mr.  Per5US.son.  who,  in  his  book  on 
Serpent  'and  7'ree  )yorship,  expresses  a  kind  of 
wonder  that  the  old  races  could  have  such  ideas 
of  such  a  poisonous  and  u|ly  animal.  He  gives 
in  another  place  his  opinion  that  the  serpent 
might  have  received  its  honors  on  account  of 
the  brilliancy  of  its  eyes — ^a  piece  of  shrewdness 
which,  as  well  as  the  preceding  sentiment, 
seems  to  show  his  unfitness  to  handle  such  a 
curious  theme.

It  said  that  the  Cabinet  had  been  in  sossiou  the  day

ceeded to  '  discuss  the  question  of  danger  to  the  in-

in  1865,  to  continue  for  10  years  from  the  begin-

inasmuch  as  the  company  now  seeks  a  renewal

of  the  past  term,  and  endeavor  to  ascertain  what

the  government's  share  of  the  loss  on  this  abortive 
steam-ship  enterprise. 

When  the  Pacific  Mall  Compiiny  entered  into  the 
China  mail  contract,  the  company  was  in  a  very 
flourishing  condition.  It  was  paying  large  annual 
dividends  to  its  shareholders,  and  setting  aside  a 
large  and  steadily  increasing  reserve  fund.  Its 
shares  were  worth  from  100  to  150  per  cent,  premi- 
um at  the  Stock  Exchange,  and  its  property,  out- 
side of  its  investment  in  steam-ships,  was  valued  at 
$7,000,000  to  $10,000,000,  invested  in  valuable 
real  estate  in  San  Francisco  andKew-To:^  and.  In  in- 
terest-bearing securities. 

The  nominal  capital  of  the  company  was  increased 
to  $20,000,000.  and  new  shares  issued  to  provide 
funds  for  establishing  the  China  Line.  Four  laree 
steam-ships  were  built  for  the  trans-Pacxfic  seTvice, 
and  several  smaller  steamers  were  token  from  the 
company's  coastwise  line,  to  run  on  the  branch  lino 
from  Japan  to  ShanghaL  Two  large  side-wheel  ships 
were  subsequently  added  to  the  main  line,  and,  alto- 
gether, fully  $3,000,000  of  the  company:*- capital 
was  invested  in  its  China  Line  between  1865  and 
1 87*J.  This  large  investment  has  shrunk  to  less  than 
$300,000.  Four  lange  steamers^-Oreat  Republic, 
China,  Alaska,  and  Colorado — are  on  hand,  but  they 
are  superseded  in  the  China  trade  by  iron  screw- 
steamors,  and,  beinp  useless  for  any  other  trade. 
their  only  value  is  in  their  materials  and  fittine^. 
aud  their  destination  is  the  snip- breaker's 
yards.  These  steamers  have  never  paid  ia  the  trade 
for  which  they  were  built — even  with  their  large 
government  subsidy  they  have  been  a  constant  an- 
nual expense  to  the  company,  and  $9,000,000  woul<l 
probably  not  cover  the  total  loss  to  the  comiMiny  in 
its  struggle  tcr  keep  up  its  China  Line  under  its  con- 
tract of  1805.  Since  that  date  tho  capital  of  the 
company  (reckoned  by  the  market  value  of  its  shares) 
has  shrank  from  $40,000,000  to  $4,000,000,  all  Its 
property  outside  of  its  steam-ships  has  been  sold,  and 
when  the  present  management  (the  best  the  company 
has  had  in  many  years)  took  char^  of  its  affairs  in 
May.  1876.  they  found  it  upon  the  verge  of  oank- 
ruptcy,  with  pressing  debts  amounting  to  upward  of 
$*J,000,000.  ^All  this,  notwithstanding*  it  is  claimed 
that  the  coastwise  line  has  steadily  paid  a  surplus  of 
$1,000,000  to  $2,000,000  a  year  over  its  expenses. 
A  part  of  that  surplus  was  no  doubt  taken  to  build 
the  two  lante  iron  steamers  which  have  superseded 
the  wooden  steamers  on  the  China  Line,  by  which  the 
Capitol  invested  in  the  China  Line  was  increased  to 
nearly  $3,000,000  over  aud  above  the  amount  al- 
ready stated. 

It  isobviouB  that  Congress  acted  wisely  in  withhold- 
ing; any  further  endowment  to  the  steam-ship  com- 
pany, and  that  the  grant  of  a  neW  endowment  will  be 
an  injustice  to  the  tax  payers  of  the  country.  Inas- 
much as  the  continued  maintenance  of  the  line  does 
not  benefit  one  citizen  in  any  50,000  who  would  be 
taxed  to  coutribute  to  the  subsidy,  and  the  serv-ices 
to  be  rendered  boar  no  proportion  to  the  amount  of 
compensation  asked  for.  A  fair  examination  of  the 
cost  of  our  ocean  mail  services  in  all  directions  will 
establish  the  justice  of  this  opiniou,  while  a  review 
of  the  steam-ship  traffic  between  San  Francisco  and- 
China  justifies  the  assertion  that  nearly  all  the  profits 
aud  advantages  attaching  to  the  enterprise  go  to 
benefit  the  Piicific  railroads,  and  the  Chinese  imml- 
ia"auts  ami  residenu  upon  the  Pacific  coast,  and  that 
the  chief  and  best  paying  branch  of  the  business  is 
tb&  importation  of  Chinese  coolies.  i 

AMERICAN  POSTAL  SEKVICE  WITH  CHINA. 
The  cost  of  the  foreign  postal  service  of  the 
United  States  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  3i>. 
1876.  was  $772,044,  of  which  sum  the  Pacific  Mail 
Company  received  $500,000  for  its  monthly  China 
and  Japan  mail.  The  entire  cost  of  uur  foreign  mails 
(exclusive  of  China  and  Japan)  was,  there- 
fore. $272,044.  or  a  little  more  than  one- 
half  the  sum  paid  to  the  Pacific  Mall  Com- 
pany. The  total  cost  of  all  our  trans- Atlantic 
mails  was  $172,343,  a  little  over  one-third  the  sum 
paid  for  our  China  and  Japan  mails,  the  former  being 
dispatched  four  times  per  week,  the  latter  once  a 
month.  We  sent  to  Europe  letters  weighing  B9.28S,- 
897  grammes,  which,  at  10  erammes  to  the  letter, 
gives  8,928.889  letters,  and  tuewspapers  weighing 
340,659.887  grammes,  equal  to  about  0;OO0,000 
pnpers.  In  the  same  year  we  sent— ter  China,  and 
Japan  96.717.  and  received  from  there  159.71  i,  let-- 
ter«,  on  whicii  the  postage  amounted  to  $13^456  ; 
there*  wtis  also  collected  on' newspapers  and^mmer- 
cIhI  circulars  $5,233,  making  a  total  of^l8.679, 
from  which  the  Oc(*idental  and  OrientaiCompany 
re-M'tved  $2,531,  leaving  $16,149,  minus  ihe  over- 
land postJige,  to  the  credit  si  te  of  the  account  with 
the-  Pacific  Mail  Company,  against  the  debit  of 
.^loOO.OOO.  As  the  mails  were  about  equally  divided 
between  the  Pariflc  Mail  Company  and  the  Occi'Ieutal 
and  Oriental  Company,  the  citizens  of  the  United 
States  wero  taxed  almut  $4  per  letter  on  every  letter 
carried  by  the  Pacific  Mail  steamers. 

One  thou-sand  is  a  very  liberal  estimate  of  the  num- 
ber of  American  citizens  who  have  social  or 
business  relations  with  China  and  Japan,  assuming 
that  each  one  writes  two  and  receives  two  letters  a 
mimth.  ^•ia  San  i'rauciRco,  tlieir  letters  will  number 
.4S.00O  per  annum,  or  less  than  one-fifth  of  the  total, 
the  other  tour-fifths  being-  received  and  sent  by 
Chinamen  temporarily  resident  in  the  United  States. 
It  is  rather  a  bold  proposition  to  ask  the  tax-pavlnij 
citizens  of  the  United  States  to  contribute  $500*000 
per  annum  to  the  supportof  this  correspondence. 

THE    TRAN3-PACIPI0    STEAM    TRADE. 

■While  San  Francisco  possesses  the  great  advantaere 
of  proximity  to  China  and  Japan,  as  compared  with 
the  distance  of  those  countries  from  the  Eastern 
States  and  Europe,  it  labors  under  the  very  serious 
disadvantage  of  being  far  removed  from  the  centres 
t>f  manufacturing  industry,  and  of  having  few  pro- 
ductions within  its  reach  (other  than  silver  and 
quicksilver)  that  are  in  demand  in  the  transpacific 
countries. 

Overland  transportation  to  San  Francisco  is  too 
costly  to  permit  the  shipment  of  tht^  manufactures  of 
New-England  over  that  route  to  China  and  Japan. 
The  productions  of  the  Atlantic  States  will,  there- 
fore, continue  to  be  shipped  by  the  long  sea  route 
round  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  or  via  the  Suez  Canal. 
Con.stMjuently  there  are  few  merchants,  manufac- 
turers, or  other  citizens  who  have  anv  special  interest 
in  supporting  steam  lines  across  the  l^acific  Ocean. 

The  value  of  exports  (exclusive  of  treasure)  from 
San  Franslsco  to  China  in  1876  was  $2,932,590  ;  of 
this  value  $978,060  was  ^p  quicksilver  and  $S50.- 
000  in  flour,  leaving  sonlethmg  under  $1,200,000 
for  nilscellaueouB  cargo,  made  up  mainly  of  unsala- 
ble odds  and  ends  of  California  stocks,  and  dried  fish, 
fungus,  and  other  delicacies  shipped  by  Chinamen  to 
their  friends  at  home.  A  few  sail  vessels  were  cleared 
for  Hong  Kong,  but  the  bulk  of  the  export  was  car- 
ried by  the  steamers,  and  was  divided  as  follows  be-- 
tween  the  two  companies  :  P»cifl«  Mail  steamers, 
8..552  tons,  averaging  712  2-3  tons  per  voyage  ;  Oc- 
cidental and  Oriental  steamers,  13,  lu2  tons ;  average 
per  steamer,  1.097  tons.  The  exports  to  Japan  only 
reached  $421,821  in  value,  and  2,657  tons  in  bulk, 
being  under  $1S,  000  in  value  and  1 10  tons  in  bulk 
per  steamer.  The  treasure  shipments  for  tlie  year 
were  $4,589,533  by  Pacific  S^il  steamers  "and 
$5,809,818  by  OccidenUl  and  Oriental  steamers. 
Tho  promts  on  the  treasure  shipments  uo  to  the  Eng- 
lish bankers  and  Chinese  merchauts  in  San  Francia- 
CO  and  tlie  owners  of  the  Bon&uza  mines  in  Nevada. 
It  is  oHHoos  that  this  export  trade  Is  not  of  snffldent 
value  to  the  citizens  of  the  United  St-ates  to  call  tor 
a  contribution  from  them  of  $500,000  per  annum, 
or  even  of  .'^50,000  per  annum,  for  its  support.  The 
value  of  all  imports  from  China  to  San  fVancisco  in 
1976  was  $4,179,277,  of  which  $2,776,200  was  in 
rice  and  $400,000  in  opium  for  the  use  of  the  Chin- 
ese residents  in  the  Pa<nllc  States.  The  quantity  of 
tea  imported  into  San  Francisco  was  1,00.5,800 
pounds  from  China  and  17.556,236  pounds  from 
Japan,  together  18,652.036  pounds:  16,400.979 
pounds  of  which  came  East  overland  by  railroad, 
leaving  2.251,057  pounds  for  consumption  in  the 
Pacific  States,  a  large  proportion  of  this  last  being 
imported  by  Chinese  merchanta  for  Chinese  consump- 
tion, and  not  passing  through  the  hands  of 
American  importers,  dealers,  or  consumers. 

Theimport  of  teas  measures  in  balk  about  17,000 

tons  of  40  cubic  feet,  which,   if  distributed  equally 

over  the  24  voyages  of  the  two  companies,  givea  only 

700  Um%  each  voyasn.    It   thus   appears  that  the 

t  ea«o  trafio  betWMa  Saa  X^aadseo  and  China  and 


Janan  is  not  nffident  for  the  eappon  or   eran  one

of  half  their  tonnage,  would  be  more  profitable  and 


better  adapted  to  the  trade  xeqniremants  of  the 
route.  The  secret  of  the  employment  of  the  large 
steamers  on  a  route  whloh  supplMaoxilya  amaD  e»Tgo 
traffic,  is  explained  in  the  Company's  desire  to  enoour- 
ue  and  accommodate  the  traffic  In  Chinese  Jmmigra- 
tion,  which  is  by  far  the  most  lucrative  branch  of  this 
China  business.  The  fare  is  $50  on  a  Chinese 
steerage  passenger  to  or  from  Hong  Kong  and  San 
Frandseo,  and  it  eosts  but  a  trifling  sum  to  feed  a 
Chinamaii  on  the  voyage.  In  1874  and  1875  the 
Pacific  Mail  steamers  frequontU-  brought  over  l.OOO 
Immigrants.on  a  single  trip.  Last  year  the  importa- 
tion had  fallen  off  to  16,000,  owing  to  the  opposition 
of  the  San  Francisco  people  to  the  increasUi^  infinx 
of  Chinese.  Seveu  thousand  returned  to  Chtua.  As 
nearly  all  were  adults,  paying  full  fare,  the  steamers 
rocelvedan  average  of  about  $47,000  per  vovage.  It 
is  obvious  that  the  regular  steam  lines  between  Oxn. 
Francisco  and  China  greatly  stimulate  and  facilitate 
the  immigration  of  Chinese  into  the  Pacific  States, 
aud  that  it  is  the  direct  interest  of  the  com- 
panies to  encourage  the  increase  of  that  immi- 
gration, without  entering  into  a  discussion 
of  the  "  Chinese  questloa  "  Jnere,  it  may  be  obserrved 
that  a  very  large  majority  of  the  people  of  the  Pacific 
States,  in  whidi  majority  is  included  the  most  intel- 
ligent snd  considerate  citizens  of  California,  believe 
that  the  further  Influx  of  Chinese  should  be  checked 
and  discouraged  by  national  legislation ;  that  its  con- 
tinuance in  B  large  volume  is  an  evil  which  should  be 
abated,  and  that  it  interferes  with  the  interests  and 
good  morals  of  the  American  working  classes  of  their 
community.  Public  optnion  throughout  the  United 
States  is  opposed  to  Chinese  immigration,  and  there 
can  be  no  doubt  that  if  public  opinion  is  permitted  to 
be  heard  upon  the  question  it  will  pronounce  very 
decidedly  against  any  grant  of  money  from  the  public 
treasury  to  assist  and  encourage  a  company  which 
derives  its  chief  income  from  the  obnoxious  traffic 

The  Occidental  and  Oriental  Steam-ship  Company 
is  a  sub-organization  of  the  owners  and  man- 
agersoftheCentralPacific  Railroad  Company.  Itisruu 
in  the  interest  of  its  parent  company  as  a  feeder  to  sup- 
ply east-bound  freight,  and  to  keep  the  through  Cliina 
traffic  under  the  control  of  the  railroad  company  and 
away  from  the  Panama  Railroad  by  operating  as  a 
check  upon  the  Pacific  Mail,  shoula  that-  company 
show  a  disposition  to  give  its  through  fausiness.to  its 
coastwise  steamers  and  the  Panama  route.  *■  The 
traffic  supplied  by  the  two  lines  is  estimated  to  be 
worth  $250.'D00  to  $300,000  per  annum  to  the  Cen- 
tral and  Union  Pacillc  Railroads.  The  Occidental 
and  Oriental  Company  employs  three  chartered  Eng- 
lish steamers,  tue  Oceanic,  3, /OOtons;  (Jaelic,  2.500 
tons,  and  Belgic,  2,500  tons,  formerly  in  the  White 
Star  Line  between  t  Jis  port  and  iJverpooL  The 
Belgic  and  Gaelic  are  very  economical  steamers,  and 
are  said  to  pay  their  way  with  their  traffic  receipts. 
They  are  certainly  better  adapted  to  the  limited  trade 
between  San  Francisco  and  China  than  the  lai^e  and 
expensive  ships  of  the  Pacific  Mail  Company,  except 
in  the  transportation  of  Chinese  immigrants.  There 
is  also  a  large  saving  of  invested  capital,  as  the  three 
steamers  of  the  Occidental  and  Oriental  Line  cost 
less  than  the  single  City  of  Peldns.  The  Occidental 
and  Oriental  steamers  carried  ttie  United  States  mails 
las'^year.  For  the  sea  postage  on  mail  matter  carried, 
under  the  general  act  of  Congress  providing  for  the 
transportation  of  our  foreign  mails,  they  claim  to 
have  carried  456  packages  of  mail  matter,  against 
478  packages  earned  by  Pacific  Mail  steamers,  and 
to  have  received  $2,531,  against  $500,000  paid  to 
the  Pacific  3Iail.  At  tho  close  of  last  year  the  Occi- 
dental and  Oriental  Company  notified' the  Postmas- 
ter-General that  its  ships  would  no  longer  carry 
mails  for  the  sea  postHge.  snd  !t  is  now  an  applicant 
for  a  subsidy  of  $.500,000  per  annum.  The  two 
companies  are  thus  asking  $1,000,000  per  annum 
(which  they  are  pleased  to  term  a  reasonable  com- 
pensation) for  carrying  about  1.000  packages  of  mail 
nmtter.  being  at  the  rate  of  $1,000  per  package,  said 
packages  averafong  less  In  weight  than  barrels  of 
flour,  which  the  companies  are  ^ad  to  carry  for  $1 
per  barrel.  These  trul^  modest  aud  liberal  pro- 
posals come  iTom  apnhcants  who  have  already  re- 
ceived subsidies  from  their  fellow-citizens,  amount- 
ing in  the  one  case  to  the  large  sum  of  $27,000,000, 
upon  which  the  recipients  steadily  refuse  to  pay  in- 
terest, ttirowing  the  charge  for  the  same  upon  the 
United  States  Treasury,  and  in  the  other  case  to 
$5,000,000,  which  hsa  been  expended  with  no  bet- 
ter result  than  flooding  the  Pacific  States  with  Chi- 
nese coolies. 
THE  FORCIBLE  TBA>*SFEE  OP  OUB  CHINESE  TRADE 

FROM  THE  ATLAA'TIO  TO  THE  PACIFIC  COAST. 

This  is  an  enterprise  which  has  no  just  or  reasonable 
claims  upon  the  people  of  the  States  lying  east  of  the 
Mississippi  and  is  an  experiment  wliich  Congress 
should  refuse  to  assist  by  granting  money  subsidies 
to  the  transportation  companies  who  are  striving  to 
effect  such  a  transfer  for  tneir  own  profit.  The  busi- 
ness ihu.s  given  to  San  Francisco  is  abstracted  from 
Boston,  New-Yorlc  Philadelphia,  and  Baltimore  ;  the 
•  traffic  thus  given  to  the  Pacific  railroads  is  abstracted 
from  the  traffic  of  the  railroads  of'  New-England, 
New-York,  Pennsylvania,  Marvlaud,  Ohio,  and  other 
Eastern  and  Midale  States.  Such  a  transfer  of  the 
importations  of  tea  and  silk  can  only  benefit  the  cor- 
porations that  would  control  the  transportatiou, 
together  with  a  few  persons  connected  with  them  in 
San  Fi^ncisco,  and  perhaps  a  few  tea  importers  and 
dealers  in  the  far  Western  cities.  It  is.  of  course,  en- 
tirely legitimate  and  fair  for  these  several  parties  to 
combine  to  divert  the  trade  from  the  old  channels, 
but  to  ask  for  large  Government  boimties  (contribu- 
ted mainlj  by  Eastern  people)  to  help  forward  their 
selfish  enwrprise  is  a  shameless  proposition,  which 
should  be  met  by  a  prompt,  severe,  and  final  condem- 
nation by  Congress  and  the  public 

In  November  last,  a  memorial  to  Congress  was  got- 
ten up  in  the  interest  of  the  Pacific  Mail  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. It  asks  for  a  renewal  of  the  subsidy  of  $500.. 
OOO  per  annum,  which  the  memorialists  modestlv 
term '■  moderate  aid."  It  was  signed  by  some  50 
respectable  citizens  of  San  Francisco.  The  memorial 
is  thickly  padded  with  patriotic  sentiments,  and  ap- 
peals to  Congress  to  aid  in  maintaining  the  suprema- 
cy of  "  our  flag  "  against  the  competition  of  British 
steam-ships.  backtS  by  the  British  Government.  &c. 

One  paragraph  declares  that  "our  flag  is  proudly 
borne  on  the  Pacific  by  only  one  company.  It  is  in 
behalf  of  that  one  company  that  the  undersigned 
solicit,''  &c.  This  all  sounds  very  nice  and 
patriotic,  but,  singular  to  relate,  just  three 
days  later  appeared  a  memorial  to  Congress  in  favor 
of  "the  British  line,  (Occidental  and  Oriental  Compa- 
ny.) in  which  ■  Congress  is  asked  to  "place  three 
steamers  (British  flng  included)  on  the  same  terms  as 
tlie  Pacific  Mail  steamers,"  by  giving  them  S500.O00 
per  annum  subsidy.  This  anti- American  flag  memorial 
was  signed  by  25  of  the  most  prominent  Kigner!>  of 
the  spread-eagle  memorial  of  the  Pacific  Mall  One 
other  paragraph  in  tho  memorial  of  the  Pacific  Mail 
Company  deser^'es  mention.  It  is  this:  **We  re- 
spectfully rtpresent  that  the  sustaining  of  a  great 
companv.  wliose  officers  and  seamen  are  our  brothers 
and  fellow -citizens,  is  an  act  worthy  the  legislature 
of  a  great  countrj."  The  cool  impudence  of 
the  above  wiU  be  appreciated  when  it  is 
stated  that  the  crews  of  the  Pacific  Mail 
steamers  on  the  Pacific  Ocean  (on  the  coastwise  as 
well  as  on  the  China  line)  are  Chinamen  :  they  are 
mannert  vrith  Chinese  sailors.  Chines©  firemen  and 
coal  passers,  Chinese  cooks  and  ^tewaI3a-  Chinese 
labor  ia  employed  in  every  department  on  ship  and 
on  shore,  to  the  exclusion  of  American  labor. 

The  respectable  signers  of  the  memorial  doubtless 
si;:ned  it  with  a  superficial  glance  over  its  contents, 
but  the  getters  up  of  the  memorial  deserve  to  be 
^0)>enly  and  severely  rebuked  for  their  attempting  to 
gain  money  by  a  false  pretense.  A  similar  offense 
perpetrated  by  a  tradissman  would  subject  the 
offender  to  arrest  and  imprisonment. 

BEFtTSAL  TO  CABRIT  MAILS. 

The  refusal  of  the  Occidental  and  Oriental  Com- 
pany to  carrj'  the  United  States  mails  for  the  sea 
postage  is  doubtless  a  game  of  bltifif  to  force  Congress 
into  a  grant  for  a  subsidy.  The  sea  postage  rates  will 
average  $1  per  pound  on  mail  matter,  and  the  steam- 
ships are  glad  to  get  a  cargo  at  1  cent  per  pound  out 
to  China,  and  2  cents  per  pound  back,  consequentlv 
one  pound  of  mail  matter  pays  them  as  much  as  much 
Hs  100  pounds  of  flour  or  oO  pounds  of  tea,  and  it  is 
really  no  more  trouble  or  expense  to  the  carrier. 
This  refusal  to  carry  mails  is  obviously  prompted  by 
a  spirit  of  extortion,  or  by  pure  '"  eussedneas. "  and  a 
determination  to  do  nothing  for  the  public  interest 
without  receiving  an  extraordinary  and  extravagant 
comi>en^ation  for  the  trifling  service  rendered. 
Toi-tunately  for  the  public  interests,  Congreea 
is  specially  endowed  with  power  to  checkmate  this 
selfish  and  insolent  dictation.  As  the  regulator  of 
the  commerce  of  the  United  States,  Concress  may. 
at  its  discretion,  prescribe  rules  and  regulations  for 
the  government  of  ships  of  our  own  and  other 
nationalities  that  may  find  it  profitable  or  desirable 
to  trade  with  the  United  States.  It  will  be  no  hard- 
ship to  demand  of  the  owners  or  managers  of 
steamers  coming  to  or  departing  from  our  porta  that 
they  shall  receive  and  transport  such  mails  as  our 
Consuls  at  their  foreign  port  of  departure  may 
wish  to  send  home,  and  such  other  malls  as  the  Post- 
master St  the  port  of  departure  in  the  United  States 
may  wish  to  send  to  the  country  to  which  the  steamer 
is  bound,  receiving  aij  compensation  for  the  service 
the  sea  poiita;^  rates  fixed  by  Congress.  If  any 
steamer  shaO  refuse  to  receive  the  malla 
after  due  and  sufficient  notice  from  the 
Consul  or  Postmaster,  let  a  fine  of  $5,000 
or  $10,000  be  imposed,  to  be  collected  upon  the 
first  following  appearance  of  the  offender  within  the 
jtirisdiction  of  tne  United  States.  Our  commercial 
treaties  simply  stipulate  that  foreign  ships  shall  be 
treated  as  we  treat  our  own  ships,  when  they  come 
into  our  ports,  and  If  foreign  steam-ship  owners  do 
not  like  the  laws  and  reasonable  regulations  which 
Congress  may  enact  for  the  government  of  the  com- 
merce of  the  country,  they  can  keep  their  ships  away 
from  our  ports.  That  respectable  steam-ship  owners 
of  other  countries  will  not  object  to  the  proposed 
law  plainly  appears  in  the  willing  and  eager  applica- 
tion of  the  sreat  steam-ship  companies  in  our  Trans- 
atlantic t  rude  to  carry  the  United  States  mails  on 
the  conditions  and  tejafes  laid  down  by  Congrees. 
The  duty  of  Congre5»-to  enact  a  general  law  for  the 
regulation  of  our  foreign  mail  servioe  is  ungratefully 
forced  upon  /that  body  \rj  the  insatiate 
greed  of  a  coiporation  of  its  own  creation — 
a  corporation  wafch  divides  $10,000,000  annually 
betwr>en  its  half  dozen  proprietors  ;  a  corporation 
which  owes  its  great  wealth  and  power  to  the  lavish 
generosity  of^Uongress  in  endo^ng  It  with  the 
public  credit  to  the  extent  of  $*28.000,O00 ;  a 
corporation  which  refuses  to  make  restitution  to 
the  public,  by  giving  up  a  portion  of  its  enormous 
annual  gains,  to  reduce  the  public  burden  of  interest 
njwn  its  subsidv,  and  which  now  demands  an  ad- 
ditional $5,000,000  from  our  overtasked  public 
Treasury,  nominally  as  compensation  for  an  In- 
significant and  already  sufficiently  paid  mall  service, 
in  reality  to  maintain  a  feeder  to  its  raUroad,  and 
add  $500,000  a  your  to  the  regal  incomes  of  tta 
limited  clique  of  proprietors. 

Ail  good  citizens  wlU  agree  that  this  is  no  time  to 
grant  further  subsidies  of  public  money  to  greedy, 
Helf-seeklng  corporations,  particularly  to  corpora- 
tions who  are  enga^rcd  in  the  extensive  importation 
of  Chinese  coolie  labor,  regardless  of  the  fact  tha^t 
American  labor  throughont  the  Union  ia  in  ad*- 
pro-ised  and  nuffering  condition. 

The  indnstrial  pursuits  of  the  country  are  passing 
through  a  crLtls  which  enforces  economy,  selfMlenia^ 
and  self-control  upon  our  people,  and  which  calls 
upon  Congreia  to  exercUe  a  rigid  oontrol  over  t2i« 
public  enienditare.  EC0X03IIST. 


WHAT  THE  MAILS  BRING. 


TBE  SAXES  FAMILT. 

SOHS  YERMONT  MEaCEKTOS — TH£  STOBC  Of 
THE  PRESIDENT'S  FATHErf— SUEVIVISQ 
RELATIVES. 

From  tlu  BuOand  {Tt)  Seraid. 

The  visit  of  Preaideat  Hayea  to  BratUeboro 
and  Newtane  has  revived  deep  intvrast  in  every  object 
and  locality  in  the  remotest  d^ree  associated  with 
thD  families  of  Birdiard  and  Hayes.  In  the  neigh- 
boring town  of  Dommenton,  npon  a  plateau  which 
commands  a  charming  view  of  the  fertile  valley,  ar« 
several  interesting  mementos  of  tht*  family.  On  the 
south  adde  of  the  common,  connected  -n-ith  a  Uun^ 
wooden  structure  of  modem  construction,  stands  tue 
little  store  in  which  Rutherford  Hayes,  father  of 
the  President,  first  embarked  in  business  an  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Koyes,  Mann  &  Hayes.  Tlie  part- 
ners cs,me  from  Woit  Brattleboro,  and  set  up  a 
country  store,  where  they  continued  to  do  imsine;^ 
for  several  vears.  The  firm  was  dissolved,  aud  JoU:i 
Noyes  and  kutherford  Hayes  united  tlielr  forimiM 
and  opened  a  store  in  a  large  two-story  building, 
painted  red,  which  stUl  stands  on  the  oast  side  of  the 
green,  and  is  now  occupied  by  a  veneratileeordwainor 
aud  his  family.  A  part  of*  the  second  tJtory  was 
fitted  up  as  a  ball-room,  and  tliere,  in  the  olden 
time,  tlie  rustic  belles  and  beaux  wert*  wont  to  trip 
the  light  fantastic  toe  to  the  mu&ic  of  the  violin.  Tht* 
ceiling,  from  which  great  patches  have  fallen,  is 
arched,  and  «Iong  the  ndes  of  the  hall  are  i>erniancnt 
slata.  innocent  of  paint,  wliirh  have  grown  brown 
with  age.  The  place  is  destitnte  of  omameot  or  fur- 
niture, and  contains  a  spinning-wheel  and  several  old 
chests  and  tmnks. 

In  this  building  Mr.  Haves  tarried  on  business  be- 
tween the  years  lt*12  and  lttl7.  His  wife,  the 
mother  of  the  Prei^ideut,  lived  a  part  of  the  time  in  a 
house  standing  adjacent  to  the  littlt-  old  store  whjcu 
was  built  by  her  husband,  and  there  were  l>om 
a  daughter  and  son.  The  Utter  wus 
drowned  while  skating  on  tlie  Ohio  River 
a  few  years  after  the  family  emigrated  to  Onlo. 
The  house  is  now  owned  and  ocrupk^d  by  Mrs. 
Asa  Knight,  whose  son.  John  Knight.  Esq.  of  I^es 
Moines,  Iowa,  is  now  on  a  visit  to  his  venerable 
mother.  The  kitchen  and  porch  of  this  house  were 
built  by  Mr.  Haj^  ard  are  still  standing  in  a  good 
degree  of  preservation.  On  the  road  from  Brattle- 
boro  to  Dummerston  stood,  a  few  years  ago.  the  store 
of  Richard  Birchard,  an  nnrle  of  the  President, 
which  was  destroyed  by  fire,  and  the  owner  perished 
in  the  flameb. 

Notwithstanding  the  visit  of  the  President  to  the 
village  of  Fnyetteville  last  Friday  was  unexpected  by 
tho  community  generally,  still  a  considerable  cum- 
ber greeted  him  upon  lus  arrival,  and  assembled  at 
the  residence  of  Austin  Birchard.  where  they  wero 
presented  to  the  distinguished  visitor.  A  cordial 
welcome  was  accorded  tne  family  by  their  venerable 
relative,  and  several  hours  were  spent  in  the  revival 
of  memories  pleasant  and  sad,  and  congratuLiclons 
upon  the  high  honors  conferred  upon  rhe  fjvorite 
nephew,  and  the  grand  old  age  of  the  uncle. 

Mr.  Birchard.  who  is  now  in  the  elirhty-fourth 
year  of  his  age.  lias  be«>n  a  merchant  in  Fayetteville 
many  years,  and  iias  been  one  of  the  most  public- 
spirited  and  useful  citizens  of  the  county  and  State, 
occupj'ing  various  publio  offices — Senator.  Councilor, 
and  Presidential  Elector.  He  is  a  man  of  sterUng  intvc- 
rity  and  highly  respected  i»y  all  ^lasses.  Mr.  Bircliard 
and  Mrs.  Bigelow  are  the  only  relatives  ot  the  Pr«j>i- 
dent  living  in  Vermont,  from  whence  his  fathar 
moved  some  six  years  before  Rutherford  as  the  citi- 
zens familiarly  <»11  him.  was  bom.  Hi**  grandfather 
settled  in  West  Brattleboro.  where  he  built  a  iarce 
square  house,  which  is  now  occupied  by  Mrs.  Bi^ciow. 

THE  SILK  CROP  OF  lS7tJ. 
The  French  Sliniatiy  of  Agriculture  publisheii 
some  very  complete  information  as  to  the  prospects 
of  this  year's  silk  crop  both  in  Franco  and  abroad,  t.^ 
which  the  crisis  in  the  trade  at  Lyons  h<nds  special 
interest.  The  quantity  of  silk-worm  e^g  seed  raued 
in  France  was  about  the  same  as  in  1:?70,  being 
above  the  figures  for  that  year  in  the  Departments  of 
the  Gard.  the  Vaucluse,  the  Hemiut.  and  tho 
Bdnches-du-RhAne,  and  below  them  in  the 
Dr6me,  the  I&ero,  and  the  Ardeche.  but  th-s 
crop  of  cocoons  was  much  larper.  beins  estimated  at 
6.783  tons,  as  aealusi  ',i.2;»6  ia  isTrt.  10.070  itL 
1S75,  onH  11.071  in  1874.  The  dcpanm-ais  whi<'li 
have  produced  the  most  thii"  year  are  the  Gard, 
<3.2G-itons,)  the  Ard^he,  (l.ytil  tons. I  the  I>r>:>me. 
(1,917  tons.)  and  the  Vauclu.se.  (LOlI^*  tons  ;)  next 
to  which  come  the  Isere.  the  Bonche^-du-Ehone.  aud 
the  Var,  with  about  400  tons  each.  Out  of  the  total 
crop  of  cocoons,  5.693  tons  are  yellow 
and  1..090  green;  and  while  the  ior-uer 
are  reported  good  the  qualiiv  of  thy  latter 
will  it  ia  apprehended,  be  found  vf-y 
inferior.  The  estimated  yield  from  these  oeoons 
will  l>e  475  tons  of  raw  yellow  silk  and  70  tons  ttf 
green  silk,  and  the  average  price  has  been  5  franf* 
for  the  yellow  and  3 ^2  francs  for  tb"  irrt-en  co^oon.'i. 
In  Italy  the  crop  has  fielded  -2-45''*  tons.  .^;:Jlinst 
14,537  in  1876,  39.410  inlS75.  and  4'i.310  iu 
1S74,  and  here  the  green  silkworms  nreduniina't-. 
being  six-sevenths  of  the  total  quantity.  Tij o 
yellow  cocoons  are  repon^-d  good,  but  thr* 
others  are  bod,  and  the  crop  will  not  yield 
above  1 . 500  tons  of  j.ilk.  The  .<pa Qish  cr> >:j 
has  yielded 920  tons,  against  I.'JIO  tj,>ns  iu  l'r7o. 
1.605  tons  in  1875,  and  1.^4*^  tons  in  1>74.  i-i 
the  Levant,  Broussa  has  given  »SO0  i-ous  tii"  cocoon-., 
more  than  half  of  which,  obtained  from  the  grft-u 
sllk-worm^of  Japan,  will  turn  out  well.  Comparir..? 
the  crops  of  all  the  countries  mcntioucHi  abov»iv:t 
will  be  apparent  that  thev  suppli*^  -.31G  ton*  ia 
1877,  1,456  tons  in  1S76.  and  3,  <  3^  tons  iu  1S7.T  : 
in  other  words,  that  the  crops  of  the  two  former 
years  scarcely  exceed  tliat  of  1875. 


S  XEW  LIFE'SATISG  DRESS. 
Interesting  and  successful  experiments  wera 
made  at  Havre  recently  with  a  dress  designed  by 
M.  Selingue  for  saving  life  at  sea.  The  trials  took 
place  in  one  of  the  large  docks  of  the  town,  in  tho 
presence  of  the  President  of  tlie  Cliomber  of  Com- 
merce, the  Director  of  the  Society  for  Saving  Lift, 
and  other  officials  of  the  city  aud  port.  One  of  the 
harbor  pilots  and  a  boatman,  wearing  ordinary 
clothes  and  heavy  sea-boots,  put  on  the  life-saring 
dress  and  plunged  into  the  basin.  It  wes 
found  that  they  floated  in  the  .water 
without  making  the  slightest  movemcni. 
In  order  to  show  that  the  dress  docs  not  iu  any  way 
impede  freedom  of  movement,  the  men  next  swam 
for  some  time  about  the  dock.  \Vheu  they  emergtd 
froui  tlie  water  they  were  examined  by  the  commis- 
sion, who  satisfied  themselves  that  the  men  still  wor« 
their  heavy  clothing  and  boots.  The  inventor  next 
proceeded  to  cut  the  suit  »U  over,  in  order  to  show- 
that  a  person  wearing  the  lifo-«a\'ing  clothcii  w^uid 
still  float,  even  though  ihey  should  be  torn  by  coming 
into  contact  with  floatijag  wreckage,  rocks,  &!^ 
Altogether,  32  cuts  and  rents  were  made  in  the 
dress,   leaving   the   body  of    the    wearer   in   many 

S'aces  exposed  to  view.  One  of  the  men  then 
vested  himself  of  his  clotliing.  and^iauging  into 
the  water,  feigned  to  be  drowning.  His  comjjanion. 
still  wearing  the  cut  and  mutilated  dress,  entered  thf 
basin,  and  easily  brought  the  other  to  tho  shore.  Ha 
well  satisfied  were  the  commission  witii  the  resulu 
of  these  eiperimeuta  that  thejr  at  onco  gave  the  int 
ventor  an  order  for  30  of  the  life-saving  suits,  for  th  j 
use  of  the  crews  of  the  two  life-boata  stntioned  a; 
Havre.  The  dress  consists  of  a  paletot  and  truusen., 
forming  a  sin^e  garment,  in  order  that  a  taaa 
wearing  the  etut  may  not  be  wet  by  rain  or  spra  /. 
and  is  rendered  insubmergible  by  being  divided  in.o 
28  compartments,  each  of  which  ountaiuK  a  float, 
compost  of  20  small  cylindrical  and  articulated 
floats.  The  s\"8tem  may  be  applied  to  any  clothinj^ 
since  it  is  not  necessary  that  a  garment  should  be  im- 
pervious to  water  la  order  that  it  ahall  be  mode  in> 
submersible. 

A  HEUASKABLE  PETRIFACTION. 
The  Portland  Oregonian  of  Aug.  15  contains 
thia  unbelievable  story  :  "  Judge  E.  C.  Bronau^h  haa 
attached  to  his  watch  chain  a  little  amulet  or  charm, 
which,  aside  from  its  peculiar  history,  Is  very  pretty 
in  Itself.  It  is  nothing  more  or  less  than  a  petrified 
rosebud.  During  the  rebellion,  a  young  nephew  o£ 
Judge  Bronaugh,  while  in  one  of  the  Southern 
States,  wrote  home  to  his  mother  aud  in- 
closed in  the  letter  a  rosebud.  The  letter 
arrived  safely  at  its  deetlnation.  and,  after 
having  been  perused,  was  laid  aside  with  the 
rosebud  in  a  drawer,  where  it  remained  for  eight  or 
nine  months.  When  the  drawer  wa.*i  overltauled  and 
the  letter  again  brought  to  light,  the  rosebud  it  con- 
tained was  discovered  to  be  petrified.  The  Judge '9 
aunt  receutlv  sent  the  stone  to  him  at  this  place,  and 
he  placed  it  In  the  hands  of  a  jeweler  tor  the  porposa 
of  having  It  fitted  to  carry  on  his  watch  chain.  Tha 
petrification  is  so  very  hard  that  while  tr>ing  to  dnii 
a  hole  in  it  two  or  three  tools  were  brok<?n  beforo 
the  object  was  socomplished.  It  Is  a  perftM(K»!»ebu<l, 
and  so  well  preserved  that  the  finest  fibri*8  an  to  be 
seen.  ^V^lat  peculiarities  of  air.  earth.- or  water 
could  have  ehajiged  the  tender  rosebud  into  a  hanl. 
almost  diamond-like  stibstance  In  the  short  space  of 
nine  moutha  ia  to  na  a  ni3rster7." 


AME  SOLDIERS'  fXyTS  TO  BE  PUOSCRIBED  9 
The  Avenir  MHittxlrA,  commenting  on  some  ar< 
tidaa  reoeutly  contributed  by  Gen.  Lewal  to  tht 
Journal  dtt  Sdeneta  MiUXaira.  agrees  with  this  lattex 
that  tenta  muat  be  proscribed  during  war.  A  man 
requires,  the  Avenir  MUUairt  remarks,  during  a  night 
of  seven  hours,  two  and  a  third  cubic  metres  o( 
pure  air.  Eight  men,  conseqaently.  should  hav^ 
18  '2-3  cubic  metres  of  trvnh  air :  but  eigbl 
men,  sheltered  by  two  tejita  d'abri  placed 
together,  as  is  the  ctistom  in  French  camps  ui  bad 
weather,  have  only  about  one-seventeenth  of  this 
quantity  to  breathe,  and  the  circulation  of  air  through 
toe  tent  is  not  suffident  to  make  up  for  the  defiden* 
cy.  The  men,  therefore,  must  breathe  on  Impure  at- 
mosphere throughout  the  night,  and  their  health 
must  sulfer  in  consequence.  Even  in  the  bell-tent, 
which,  relatively  to  uie  number  of  men  who  sleep  ^^ 
it,  ia  of  larger  dimensions,  the  amount  of 
air  ia  insufficient ;  and  moreover,  the  tenta,  b» 
ing  of  considerable  weight,  must  be  carried  ii 
wagons  for  the  men,  and  consequentlv  would  ol 
moat  invariably  have  to  be  left  behind  during  rapi4 
operation*  in  the  field.  Troops,  therefore,  on  ortivi 
servioe  will  ganaralty  b«  obliged  either  to  bivouac  1) 
the  ooeu  or  to  be  cantoned  in  towns  and  villagM 
adjacent  to  the  line  of  march.  As  a  rule,  the  Ar*nii 
Miiitair§  holds  it  will  be  possible  to  find  a  oommoda 
tion  for  the  main  body  of  a  column,  bnt  the  adw)oe4

An  interesting  aceount  is  given  in  our 
:olunms  this  morning  of  the  mode  b7  which 
die  Tammany  managers  raise  funds  for  elec- 
tion purposes  through  their  facile  tools  in 
the  Corporation  Attorney's  office.  Any  one 
who  knows  the  extreme  confusion  in  which 
our  Municipal  Government  JS  carried  on, 
and  the  entire  lafck  of  distinct  resi>onsibility 
•which  marks  it,  will  readily  understand  how 
snob  contemptible  persecution  as  our  report 
describes  can  be  pursued  with  im- 
punity. There  are  many  ways  in  which 
officers  intrusted  s  with  the  power  of 
'civil  prosecution  can  make  themselves 
a  terror  to  innocent  citizens,  with- 
out the  latter  being  able  to  Either  resist 
or  expose  the  fraud.  Whec  officers  of  this 
stamp  form  part  of  an  organization  as  com- 
pact and  relentless  as  that  of  Tammany,  there 
is  no  Umit  to  the  plundering  which  they  can 
indulge  in  under  the  forms  of  law.  At  the 
same  time,  it  is  notorious  that  the  real  du- 
Hes  of  the  Corporation  Attorney's  office  are 
grossly  neglected  in  the  very  direction  in 
which  he  appears  to  be  so  busy.  While  he 
Is  levying  his  piratical  contributions  on  the 
unfortunate  persons  whom  he  chooses  to 
select  as  "  obstructors  "  of  the  highways, 
the  streets  are  constantly  and  most  incon- 
veniently obstructed  by  those  who,  for  one 
reason  or  another,  secure  his  favor  or  his 
neglect.      ^ 

Tha  Bureau.of  StAiatics  has  published  its 
somparative  statement  of  imports  and  ex- 
ports for  the  seven  months  ending  with 
July.  -The  values  given  are  specie.  For 
the  entire  period  in  this  year  the  exports 
of  merchajidise  have'  increased  over  the 
corresponding  period  iastyearby  $10,366,- 
■403,  or  3.21  per  cent.;  the  imports  have 
increased,  by  $35,24:6,381,  or  13.4  per 
Vjent.  The  excess  of  merchandise  exported 
over  n?.erehandise  imported  last  year  was 
$59,300,024.  Thisyear  it  is  but  $35,422,- 
046.  This  change  is  still  more  con- 
Bpicnous  in  the  trade  for  July, 
trha'j.  the  exports  fell  off  slightly 
and  the  imports  increased  a  little 
ovT.r  33  1-.3  per  cent.,  and  instead  of  an 
Bseess  of  exports  of  $9,236,241  which  we 
b  ad  last  year,  give  us  this  year  an  excess 
<.f  imports  of  $2,4:80,767.  Ttiming  to  the 
'specie  motvement  we  find  that  while  we 
have  exported  only  $37,630,460  this  year, 
against  $42,677,790  last  year,  we  have 
imported  $12,618,549  this  year,  against 
only  .$'j,320,765  last  year,  reducing  the 
excesT  of  e.xports  from  $36,337,025  to 
$25,001,911— a  ilifference  of  $11,295,- 
114.  The  total  amount  of  the  transactions 
with  foraign  countries  for  the  first  seven 
months  of  1877  is  $680,007,557.  For  a 
cor  responding  period  in  1876  it  was  $634,- 
If' 6,31 9,  an  increase  for  this  year,  so  far, 
Qi":  $45,811,238,  or  7.2  per  cent.  These 
E.gures  sustain  in  the  main  the  deductions 
Ve  drew  the  other  day  from  the  English 
Boaxdof  Trade  returns  for  the  same  period. 

It  is  now  announce'  that  M.  Gambetta 
Is  to  be  prosecuted  by  the  French  Grovern- 
meut  foi-  his  speech  at  LUle,  and  that  the 
newspapers  which  have  published  the  speech 
will  be  prosecuted  also.  This  is  in  strict 
accoTtlance  with  the  abeurd  policy  of  re- 
pression adopted  by  the  present  Ministry. 
M.  Gambetta's  speech  was  not  a  seditious 
one  in  any  sense.  On  the  contrary,  it  was 
marked  by  great  moderation,  and  was  all  the 
more  teUrng  on  that  accoimt.  It  is  diffi- 
cult to  see  how  tha  reactionary  coali- 
tion is  to  take  anything  by  a  legal  prosecu- 
tion of  its  author.  No  punishment  which 
could  be  inflicted  would  terrify  the  ei-Dio- 
tator,  and  no  publio  argument  of  the  legal- 
ity of  Ms  address  could  fail  to  make  advo- 
cates for  bim  among  all  friends  of  fair  play 
and  rational  freedom.  It  seems  that  the 
present  Government  is  bound  to  ex- 
^ost  all  its  resonrces  to  convince 
the  Frenoh  people  that  its  cause  osnnot 
stand,  free  discnsaion,  and  that  it  ean  only 
iwin  by  some  form  of  oppression  and  vio- 
)anee.  The  latest  evidence  of  this  we  have 
aaortod  Above;  hb  almost  etpiaUy  striking

history  of  France,  since  its  Goremment 
pretended  to  rest  on  snSra^e,  the  Adminis- 
tmtion  has  undertaken  to  control  the 
action  of  its  minor  employes,  as  was  shown 
by  a  recent  circular  of  one  of  the  Ministers 
practically  threatening  those  uAder  him  who 
should  side  with  the  Bepublicans  with  dis- 
favor. - 

The  Chicago  Inter-Ocean  prints  a  number 
of  the  replies  received  from  various  mem-

lar asking  their  views  on  the  remonetiza- 
tion  of  silver.  There  were  197  replies  re- 
ceived, which  the  Inter-Ocean  classifies  as 
follows  : 

For  repealing  the  law  of- 1873,  and  the  restora-

Some  of  the  letters  are  interesting,  some 
very  amusing.  Senator  Chkistiaucy  gives 
cold  comfort  to  the  movement  by  favoring 
the  silver  dollar  only  on  condition  that  it  be 
made  equal  to  gold  =in  value,  and  kept  so. 
HcKTEK,  of  Indiana,  favors  unlimited  coin- 
age and  legal  tender ;  "  then  let  the 
finances  alone,"  he  says,  "  and  we  will  grow 
into  specie  payments  by  prosperity,  and  not 
by  legislation, "  which  is  a  happy  solution  of 
a  problem  that  has  deeply  vexed  the  Indiana 
mind.  Foster,  of  Ohio,  is  uncertain.  He 
"would  try  fifty  to  a  himdred  millions,  then 
await  developments.  Acklen,  of  Louisiana, 
is  of  a  divided  mind.  He  "  favors  the  re- 
monetization of  silver,  though  not  the 
adoption  of  the  double  standard."  Patter- 
son, of  South  Carolina,  favors  everything — 
silver,  repudiation  of  the  resumption  pledge, 
"exchangeable"  bonds,  subsidies,  and  so 
on.  Schleicher,  of  Texas,  takes  a  view 
characteristic  of  his  section.  He  "  looks  on 
this  as  a  three-cornered  fight,"  and  is  not 
yet  decided  on  which  comer  to  take  a  hand 
in.  AlKEJf,  of  South  Carolina,  frankly  owns 
that  he  is  "imable  to  give  an  intelligible 
reply."  Mr.BAKER,  of  this  State,  cruelly 
suggests :  '"  Why  should  we  not  make  copper 
coin  a  legal  tender,  (for  all  sums,)  as  well  as 
silver '.     It's  cheap." 

It  may  be  necessary  by  and  by  fo  r  Mar- 
shal Bazaine  to  prove  an  alibi,  as  there  is 
afloat  a  curious  rumor  that  he  is  command- 
ing the  Turkish  Army  as  Osmak  Pasha.  So 
many  foreigners  are  masquerading  in  Tur- 
key as  Pashas  and  Beys,  there  is  nothing 
improbable  in  the  story  that  Osman  is 
really  a  Christian  knight  in  disguise.  It  is 
pointed  out  that  the  victor  of  Plevna  has, 
since  he  succeeded  to  command,  infused 
new  life  into  the  .\rmy,  and  is  the  first  offi- 
cer in  the  Turkish  service  to  fight  in  the 
open  field.  His  tactics,  the  knowing 
ones  declare,  are  the  tactics  of  Baz^vine, 
though  his  name  is  Turk.  The  rimior  sug- 
gests a  romantic  story,  but  it  is  not  a  little 
strange  that  the  French  and  English  news- 
papers have  no  infoimation  leading  to  its 
confirmation.  Since  his  escape  in  1874, 
Bazaine  has  spent  part  of  his  time  in 
Belgiiim  and  part  in  Spain.  He  is  an  am- 
bitious soldier,  and  would  undoubtedly  serve 
in  the  Turkish  Army  with  an  easy  con- 
science. But  there  is  no  substantial  rea^son 
why  he  should  tight  incognito. 

THE  DOLLAR  IX  FACT  AXD  IX  LAW. 

Probably  few  persons  noticed  at  the  time 
the  f  oUowiug  brief  act  passed  at  Albany  two 
years  ago  : 

"Sectiok  1.  All  taxes  levied  and  confirmed  in 'this 
State  on  and  after  Jan.  1,  1879,  stiall  be  collected  in 
United  States  coin.  United  States  gold  certificates,  or 
national  bank  notes  which  are  redeemable  m  gold  on 
demand. 

"Sbc.  2.  Every  contract  or  obligation  tnade  or 
implied,  and  payable  in  this  State,  and  made  or  im- 
plied after  Jan.  1,  1879.  and  payable  in  dollars,  but 
not  in  a  specified  Icind  of  dollars,  shall  be  payable  in 
United  States  coin  of  the  standard  of  weight  and 
fineness  established  by  the  laws  of  the  United  States 
at  the  time  the  contract  or  obligation  shall  have  been 
made  or  implied. " 

That  the  taxing  power  may  legally  pre- 
scribe the  medium  in  which  taxes  shall  be 
collected  seems  only  a  natural  corollary 
from  the  existence  of  power  to  tax ;  and 
confirmation  is  given  to  the  first  section  of 
this  act  by  the  express  declaration  of  the 
Supremo  Court  (7  Wallace,  71,  Lane  Coun- 
ty against  Oregon)  that  "the  clauses  in  the 
several  acts  of  Congress  of  1862  and 
1863,  making  United  States  notes  a 
legal  tender,  have  no  reference  to 
taxes  imposed  by  State  authority." 
As  to  the  other  section  there  may  be 
perhaps  some  question.  In  its  support  are 
several  decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court. 
The  well-known  doctrine  about  contracts  is 
reaflirmed  in  Walter  against  Whitehead 
(16  Wallace,  314,)  that  "the  laws  which 
exist  at  the  time  and  place  of  the  making  of 
a  contract  and  where  it  is  to  be  performed 
enter  into  and  form  a  part  of  it."  So,  too, 
(Trebilcock  against  WiLSOS,  12  Wallace, 
687)  "  the  terms  '  in  specie '  are  merely  de- 
scriptive of  the  kind  of  dollars,  there  being 
several  kinds  in  circulation  recognized  by 
law ;  they  mean  that  the  designated  number 
of  dollars  shall  be  paid  in  so  many  gold  or 
silver  dollars  of  the  coinage  of  the  United 
States." 

The  case  of  the  Ocean  Spray  is  the  most 
notable  matter.  In  1868  a  vessel  of  that 
name  was  libeled  for  damages  resulting 
from  a  collision  off  the  coast  of  California, 
and  damages  were  awarded  in  the  United 
States  District  Court.  The  decree  being  for 
damages  in  legal  tenders,  the  plaintiff  was 
not  satisfied,  and  immediately  appealed  to 
the  United  States  Circuit  Court,  Judge 
Field,  of  the  Supreme  Court,  presiding  ;  it 
was  reversed,  July  1,  1869,  and  a  new  de- 
cree ordered  for  judgment  for  $10,657  88, 
"in  gold  and  silver  coin  of  the  United 
States."  -  From  this  decision  the  owner  of 
the  Spray  appealed  iii  his  turn,  and  at  the 
December  term,  1870,  of  the  Supreme 
Court  (12  Wallace,  366)  the  decision  of 
the  Circuit  Court  was  unanimously  sus- 
tained. Judge  Davis  pronouncing  the  opin- 
ion. Upon  this,  the  damages  were  paid  in 
gold  coin,  but  afterward  a  request  was  made 
for.  a  rehearing,  which  was  denied  infor- 
mally in  a  letter  by  one  of  the  Judges  in 
1874. 

The  case  occupies  only  about  three  pages 
of  Wallace,  while  the  second  decision — sus- 
taining the  Legal-tender  act — ^rendered  at 
the  same  term  of  the  court  and  reported  in 
the  same  volnme,  occnpies  over  200.  It 
has  been  said  that  the  reports  slur  over  the 
case,  and  do  not  give  it  oorrectiy.  Whether 
this  is  the  fact  we  do  not  know;  but,  as- 
suming the  adequacy  of  the  report,  it  is 
plain  that  the  merits  of  the  case  as  before 
^^|K|iirere9«was4oTe^fox  tiM4eoifum 


cites  the  oirenxnstanoes  of  the  collisioii 
minutely,  with  nautical  terms,  descriptive 
of  the  manner  in  which  the  Spray  was 
handled,  and  affirms  the  decree  of  the 
court  below  on  the  express  and  exclusive 
ground  that  the  vessel  was  in  fault,  Wit 
omits  to  even  indirectly  mention  the  matter 
of  gold  damages.  Upon  embarrassing  sub- 
jects courts  are  frequently  careful  to  avoid 
pronouncing  upon  any  questions  which  can 
be  avoided,  .but  the  omission  in  this  in- 
stance is  peculiar.  For  the  Supreme 
Court  is  not  an  original  court,  but 
an  appellate  one,  and,  of  course,  its 
cognizance  would  seem  to  be  limited 
to  whatever  constitutes  the  appeal,  which 
might  ordinarily  be  the  merits  of  thel  case, 
but  in  this  instance  was  not.  The  merits 
of  the  case — ^in  other  words,  the  question  of 
fault  between  the  colliding  vessels — had 
been  decided,  admitted,  and  was  not  in 
controversy ;  the  prioir  appeal  had  been 
taken  by  the  original  plaintiff  because  he 
wanted  damages  in  gold,  and  when  the  Cir- 
cuit Court  sustained  him  the  defendant  had 
appealed  because  he  did  not  want  to  pay  in 
gold.  It  would  seem,  therefore,  that  the 
ground  of  the  appeal,  namely,  the  gold 
payment,  and  not  the  merits  of  the  original 
case,  was  the  sole  matter  before  the  Su- 
preme Court,  or,  at  least,  that  it  could  not 
be  avoided.     Yet  it  was  utterly  avoided. 

The  effect  of  the  decision  is  not  wholly 
free  from  doubt.  Apparently,  upon  an  ex- 
press and  exclusive  issue  between  gold  pay- 
ment and  legal-tender  payment,  the  Su- 
preme Court  decided  for  the  former,  and 
this  seems  to  be  equivalent  to  holding  that 
a  dollar  is  legally,  as  in  fact  it  is  known  to 
be,  a  definite  quantity  of  gold,  and  not  a 
paper  note.  If  In  this  particular  case  this 
was  held,  a  square  contradiction  arises  be- 
tween this  position  and  the  general  one, 
taken  at  about  the  same  time,  that  paper  is 
a  legal  dollar,  good  on  all  obligations  which 
call  for  payment  in  dollars.  Even  if  the 
gold  question  had  not  been  raised,  and  the 
appeal  had  been  on  the  merits  of  the  case, 
that  question  was  covered,  and  seems  to 
have  been  plainly  brought  up  by  a  ju^- 
ment  expressly  awarding  damages  in  gold. 

The  treatment  of  the  subject  was  thus  pe- 
culiar, and  we  do  not  undertake  to  inter- 
pret positively  either  it  or  its  legal  effect. 
We  cite  it  because  it  is  an  interesting  and 
nearly  unknown  case,  aud  because  it  illus- 
trates the  dificulties  of  trying  to  make  a 
thing  in  law  what  it  is  not  in  fact..  At  the 
first  hearing  on  the  legal-tender  matter  the 
dissenting  minority  expressly  bsised  their 
support  of  the  law  on  the  ground  of  its 
necessity  at  the  time  of  enactment.  At  the 
second  hearing  Judge  Stbokq  took  precisely 
the  same  view,  and  Judge  Bradley — the  other 
new  member — expressed  the  same  idea  of 
controlling  necessity  still  more  plainly,  say- 
ing that "  the  power  to  make  Treasury  notes 
a  legal  tender,  while  a  mere  incidental  one 
to  that  of  issuing  the  notes  themselves,  and 
to  one  of  the  forms  of  borrowing  money,  is, 
nevertheless,  a  power  not  to  be  resorted  to 
except  on  extraordinary  and  pressing  oc- 
casions, such  as  war  or  other  public  exigen- 
cies of  great  gravity  and  importance,  and 
should  be  no  longer  continued  than  all  the 
circumstances  of  the  case  demand."  Ho 
also  said  that  the  note  is  "  a  promise  by  the 
Government  to  pay  dollars,  not  an  attempt 
to  make  dollars  ;  the  Government  simply 
demands  that  its  credit  shall  be  accepted 
and  received  by  the  public  and  private  citi- 
zens during  the  pending  exigency." 

The  Supreme  Court,  to  which  the  green- 
back was  a  plague  and  an  embarrassment, 
thus  with  great  difficulty  was  induced  to  de- 
clare it  a  legal  dollar,  solely  because  the 
legal-tender  quality  was  a  necessity  in  time 
of  war.  Beyond  this  the  court  has  never  gone, 
but  it  is  plain  that  perplexing  questions 
may  yet  arise,  for  example,  whether  the  re- 
tention of  these  notes,  with  legal-tender 
quality,  years  after  the  exigency  has  passed, 
can  be  upheld ;  whether  the  issue  of  new 
notes  to  replace  worn  ones,  and  particularly 
of  new-series  notes,  is  not,  legally  speaking, 
an  issue  of  new  legal  tenders  in  time  of 
peace  ;  whether  States  ean  for  themselves, 
as  by  the  Ne"T- York  law  above  quoted,  practi- 
cally banish  the  greenback  as  a  legal  dollar, 
&c.  The  unredeemed  legal-tender  note  is 
a  fountain  of  plagues;  and  not  only  are 
these  decisions  so  many  barriers  thrown 
across  the  way  against  going  backward  to- 
ward inflation,  bufimmeasurably  the  wisest 
course  is  bo  cut  the  whole  knot  of  trouble 
by  pressing^orward  to  resumption. 


A  CRT  FOR  PEACE. 

The  resolutions  adopted  by  the  Connecti- 
cut Peace  Society  last  week  admirably  il- 
lustrate the  "views"  of  one  class  of  re- 
formers. The  society  is  evidently  made  up 
of  people  who  are  "  viewy,"  but  so  aoso- 
lutely  sincere  that  it  seems  brutal  to  find 
fault  with  their  being  unpractical.  It  is 
generally  admitted  that  war  is  a  great  evil, 
and  that  peaceable  arbitration  between  na- 
tions would  be  a  happy  arrangement  for 
mankind.  So  thoroughly  is  this  accepted  by 
men  that^its  statement  is  a  truism  of  the 
baldest  sort.  Tet  nations  are  continually 
going  to  war  with  each  other  ;  and,  to 
all  intents  and  purposes,  we  are  just  as  far 
from  beating  our  swords  into  plowshares 
as  we  were  when  the  first  peace  society 
was  formed.  The  aim  of  the  peace  socie- 
ties is  thoroughly  desirable ;  their  motives 
are  above  reproach.  But  the  state  of  society 
which  the  advocates  of  universal  peace  ex- 
pect to  produce  is  a  purely  ideal  one. 
Human  nature  mu^t  be  made  over,  or  the 
millennium  must  come,  before  we  can  be  so 
sure  of  peace  that  we  ean  disband  the 
Army,  convert  the  Navy  into  a  merchant 
marine,  and  sell  all  the  paraphernalia  of 
war  for  old  iron  and  steel. 

Yet,  the  peace  societies  annually  meet  and 
utter  their  plaintive  protest  against  war  and 
bloodshed,  just  as  though  each  year  brought 
new  responsibilities  and  new  successes. 
The  Connecticut  society,  for  example,  tak- 
ing their  turn  at  the  financial  question, 
charge  the  dull  times  to  the  war  debt  and 
taxation.  We  may  admit  that  this  is  the 
true  explanation  of  the  difficulty ;  but  jt  does 
not  follow  that  the  war  was,  therefore, 
wrong,  unless  it  was  wrong  for  the 
rebels  to  provoke  the  war.  TheJ  peace 
men  might  as  well  give  us  a  sermon 
on  the  exceeding  sinfulness  of  sin. 
And  even  debt  and  taxation  in  this  country 
have  come  from  a  war  about  the  righteous- 
ness of  which  even  idealists  can  have  no 
question.  The  Shays  rebellion  in  Massa- 
chusetts was  the  outbreak  of  a  discontented 
people  against  the  legislation  which  the 
debt  of  the  Bevilntipnary  War  made  need- 
fnl.    Thmlt  ojiriou  xej^c^  ^as  a^soint  <^ 


domestio  war  to  shift  the  burdens  in- 
curred during  the  American  struggle  for 
liberty.  H  peace  societies  are  to  accom- 
plish any  purpose  besides  that  of  fulminat- 
ing paper  pellets  and  resolutions,  they  must 
begin  at  the  foundations  of  things.  The  causes 
of  war  mnstbe  reached.  .And  the  statement 
that  the  Pennsylvania  Peace  Society  pre- 
vented a  strike  on  the  Beading  Railroad  is 
the  first  practical  hint  in  this  direction 
which  we  have  seen.  If  the  advocates  of 
peace  can  begin  with  the  strikers,  or  intend- 
ing strikers,  and  keep  the  peace  between 
corporations  and  employes,  they  will  earn 
their  title  to  the  gratitude  of  the  country. 
But  it  is  grotesque  to  urge  in  one  resolution 
that  Indiain  wars  are  the  result  of 
bad  faith  on  the  part  of  the  Government, 
and  to  demand  in  another  resolution 
that  the  Army  be  abolished.  The  cause  of 
the  troubles  may  be  correetly  stated.  But 
must  we  leave  the  country  in  a' defenseless 
condition  because  the  difficulty  is  of  our 
own  making  f  It  is  hardly  worth  while  to 
treat  such  a  proposition  seriously. 

Somehow,  moral  suasion,  which  was  so 
much  in  the  foreground  a  few  years  ago, 
does  not  wear  well.  Societies  for  the  sup- 
pression and  prevention  of  crime  appear  to 
have  great  faith  in  the  Revised  Stat- 
utes. While  a  convention  of  reform- 
ers is  passing  a  series  of  windy  resolutions 
against  sin,  crime,  and  violence,  another 
sort  of  reformer  is  haling  the  criminal  before 
a  magistrate  to  answer  for  his  sins.  It  is 
easy  to  say  that  Russia  and  Turkey  ought 
to  submit  their  differences  to  arbitration  ; 
but  who  shall  compel  them  ?  Not  public 
opinion,  however  highly  educated  it  may 
be.  When  a  State  desires  to  effect  a 
conquest,  or  to  avenge  what  is  said  to  bo 
a  great  wrong,  it  goes  to  war ;  and  the 
opinion  of  the  world,  however  forcibly 
expressed,  does  not  deter,  unless  that  opin- 
ion is  backed  by  cannon  and  musketry — 
implements  of  war. 

The  moral  suasionists  found,  to  their  great 
grief,  that  the  rum-sellers  could  not,  as  a 
class,  be  talked  out  of  theu-  deraoralizing 
traffic.  Resolutions  so  voluminous  that  the 
world  could  scarcely  contain  them  have 
been  fired  at  the  rum-sellers.  Thousands 
of  reformers  have  denoimeed  them,  and 
have  relieved  their  feelings  in  addresses 
and  proclamations.  But  the  most  effective 
reform  ever  accomplished  in  this  direc- 
tion was  in  the  enacting  of  wholesome 
laws  for  the  regulation  of  the  liquor 
trade.  It  is  mischievous,  because  confusing 
of  popular  ideas,  to  denounce  deplorable 
effects  as  something  which  might  have  been, 
and  ought  to  have  been,  avoided.  The 
Peace  Society  hates  war ;  it  points  to  debt 
and  taxation  as  the  result  of  war :  there- 
fore, that  war  was  a  calainsv  which  should 
liave  been  averted.  Moral  siiasion  should 
have  been  applied  to  the  rebels,  or  we 
should  have  submitted  to  a  disruption  of 
the  Republic  rather  than  have  any  trouble. 
Of  course,  nobody  will  say  that  debt,  taxa- 
tion, and  hard  times  are  referred  to  as 
proofs  of  the  general  statement  that  war  is 
is  an  evil.  The  main  fact  is  aJmitted  with- 
out a  word  of  debate.  As  well  might  a  con- 
vention of  savatits  solemnly  resolve  that  the 
sun  shines.  But  when  these  peaceful  peo- 
ple seriously  demand  that  we  stop  in  the 
midst  of  our  errors  aud  disband  the  Arm}-, 
thev  cover  their  cause  with  ridicule. 


TBE  JAPAX-EiiE  AKMT. 

In  the  Sufnmer  of  1875  three  officers  of 
•the  United  States  Army— Brevet  Major-Gen. 
Emory  Upton,  Brevet  Brig. -Gen.  George 
A.  FoESTTH,  and  Major  Joseph  P.  Sasuer — 
were  sent  upon  a  tour  of  inspection  of  mili- 
tary systems  in  various  nations.  They  were 
expected  to  be  absent  about  eighteen 
months,  and  to  make  during  that  time  every 
practical  examination  of  the  methods  of  war 
then  in  operation  in  Asia  and  Europe,  be- 
ginning with  Japan  and  terminating  with 
England.  The  attention  of  Gen.  Upton  was 
to  be  directed  to  the  infantry,  Gtn.  For- 
syth was  to  occupy  himself  with  observa- 
tions of  cavalry,  and  Major  Sanger  with  the 
artillery  of  the  several  armies.  The  labors 
of  the  commission  commenced  in  Japau. 
and  the  results  of  their  sojourn  in  that 
country  were  important  in  a  degiee  wholly 
unexpected  by  them.  The  War  Depart- 
ment at  Washington  anticipated  little  profit 
from  a  study  of  the  military  accomplish- 
ments of  the  Japanese,  and  it  is  safe  to  say 
the  General  of  the  Army  looked  for  noth- 
ing, or  next  to  nothing,  from  that  quarter. 
The  distinguished  officers  of  the  commission 
also  shared  this  belief  to  a  large  extent,  but 
when  the  time  for  positive  investigation 
came  the  successive  disclosures  were  a  se- 
ries of  iminteri-upted  surprises.  The  officers 
named  returned  home  only  a  short  time 
since,  and  we  are  now  enabled  for  the  first 
time  to  present  to  our  readers  the  result  of 
their  visit  to  the  far  distant  and  friendly 
nation  of  Japan. 

Although  Gen.  Upton  and  his  associates 
arrived  at  Tokio  on  the  26th  ot  August, 
1875,  a  delay  in  the  communication  of  their 
purposes  to  the  Japanese  War  Department 
through  the  United  States  Legation,  pre- 
vented their  reception  until  the  5th  of  Sep- 
tember. On  that  day  our  representatives 
had  an  interview  with  Gen.  Yamagata,  the 
Minister  of  War,  and  the  reviews  were  fixed 
for  the  Sth.  A  heavy  ram  fell  during 
the  whole  of  the  night  of  the  7th,  and  it 
was  a  question  whether  the  ground  would 
be  fit  for  manoeuvres  of  any  kind,  but  it 
was  determined  to  proceed  in  spite  of  these 
disadvantages.  The  difficulties  which  stood 
in  the  way  of  an  effective  display  will  be 
understood  when  it  is  said  that  the  field  se- 
lected for  the  Infantry  and  cavalry  drill  was, 
in  many  places,  covered  with  water  to  the 
depth  of  several  inches,  and  was  in  all  parts 
slippery  with  mud.  Early  in  the  forenoon 
the  visiting  officers  were  escorted  to  the 
parade-ground,  where  several  infantry  regi- 
ments of  the  Imperial  Guard,  a  battalion 
from  the  school  ioT  non-commissioned 
officers,  and  a  large  body  of  lancers  were  al- 
ready assembled.  The  movements  of  the 
cavalry  caibeAist  in  order.  All  the  details 
of  driU  pert^tiring  to  this  arm  of  the  service 
were  executed,  and  were  closely  watched 
by  the  American  officers,  first  with 
critical  calmness,  then  with  attentive 
interest,  presently  with  warm  approv- 
al, and  at  last  with  undisguised 
demonstrations  of  hearty  admiration.  Gen. 
"Sandy"  Foestth,  whose  interest,  of 
course,  centred  particularly  in  cavalry,  is 
reported  as  having  spoken  of  each  new 
movement  with  unmeasured  satisfaction,  not 
solely,  on  account  of  the  evidence  afforded 
of  Japanese  progress,  but  as  proof  of  meri- 
figasM  akill  anconliua;  to  a^  standard  of 


judgment.  Asked  whether  it  would  be 
proper  to  estimate  the  proficiency  shown  by 
the  same  rules  that  would  apply  to  the 
cavalry  of  the  United  States,  the  brave 
American  officer  replied  that  it  would ;  that 
in  the  strictest  comparison  between  Ameri- 
cans and  these  particular  Japanese  it 
would  be  necessary  to  make  no  allowances 
on  behalf  of  the  latter,  and  that  the  evolu- 
tions he  had  witnessed  were  in  all  respects 
equal  in  regularity  and  precision  to  the 
average  capabilities  of  the  United  States 
cavalry.  With  regard  to  the  Japanese 
horses,  which,  though  small,  were  strong  and 
active,  it  was  held  that  they  appeared  to  be 
well  suited  to  this  use,  but  were  probably 
too  light  for  artillery,  an  opinion  which  was 
fully  verified  by  subsequent  examination.    ^ 

The  infantry  movements  which  followed 
were  rewarded  by  similar  commendations 
from  Gen.  Uptox.  Here,  again,  it  was  ad- 
ipitted  that  the  regiments  of  the  Guards 
would  have  little  to  appreheaS  even  in  di- 
rect competition  with  the  crack  regiments 
of  the  line  in  the  United  States.  They 
were  especially  complimented  for  the  firm- 
ness of  their  march  and  steadiness  in  line 
in  moving  over  ground  that  had  been  inse- 
cure at  first,  and  was  now  broken  badly  by 
the  charges  of  the  cavalry.  To  complete 
the  effect  of  the  ■  display,  music  was  sup- 
plied, not  only  by  a  corps  of  trumpeters, 
but  also  by  a  band  organized  and  trained 
by  a  French  Professor  to  perform  precisely 
in  the  style  of  American  and  European  mili- 
tary musicians.  The  Japanese  had  thor- 
oughly familiarized  themselves  with  their 
reed  and  brass  instruments,  and  they  used 
them,  we  are  informed,  "  with  as  much 
skill  as  the  average  bands  of  this  City, 
from  which,  if  they  should  any  day  head  a 
battalion  marching  down  Broadway,  they 
could  not  be  distinguished  by  any  test  the 
ear  alone  could  apply." 

The  field  exercise  occupied  some  three] 
hours.  The  grounds  of  the  old  Castle  of  the 
Taikuns,  which  have  for  some  years  past 
been  given  over  to  engineering  operations, 
were  then  e.xamined,  and  afterward  a  plain 
devoted  to  artillery  practice.  Next  came  a 
visit  to  the  arsenal,  in  which  arms  and  am- 
muniticm  of  various  kinds  are  manufactured. 
Later  in  the  day,  while  the  American 
officers  were  on  their  way  back  to  their 
quarter,  an  impromptu  experiment  was  tried 
to  test  the  rapidity  with  which  the  troops 
could  get  under  arms  aud  in  line  at  a  sud- 
den summons.  The  carriages  drove  into 
the  square  of  the  great  city  barracks,  which 
cover  some  forty  acres  of  space,  and,  the 
centre  having  been  reached,  an  aide  was 
dispatched  with  an  order  to  the  commanding 
officer,  in  obedience  to  which  the  "  assem- 
bly "  was  instantly  sounded.  No  previous 
warning  had  been  given  ;  the  men  were 
wholly  unprepared,  lying  about  at  ease  in- 
side their  barracks,  and  in  many  eases  only 
partly  dressed.  In  a  few  seconds  less  than 
five  minutes  4,000  troops  were  standing  in 
line  armed  and  equipped  as  if  for  immediate 
action.  This  extraordinary  achievement 
closed  the  operations  of  the  day,  and  most 
(.-ITectivcly,  as  will  be  admitted  by  all  mili- 
Uiry  men. 


STORY-TELLERS. 

Story-telling  has  been  for  centuries  a  pro- 
fession in  the  East,  and,  notwithstanding  its 
discontinuation  aud  deeliue  to  a  large  ex- 
tent, story-tellers  may  still  be  met  with  in 
OL-rtain  parts  of  Arabia,  Palestine,  and 
SjTia.  Those  who  have  heard  their  narra- 
tives, even  when  ignorant  «f  the  language 
spoken,  will  beai'  witness  to  their  power  of 
presentation  and  illustration,  their  dramatic 
talent  and  expressive  gesture  making  their 
ideas  lucid  through  an  unknown  tongue. 
This  rare  capacity  for  story-telling  belongs 
especially  to  the  East,  and  the  thing  itself  to 
another  age,  before  printing  had  been  in- 
vented, before  population  had  been  com- 
pressed into  i^artieular  localities  and  men 
absorbed  in  commerce  and  trade. 

Storj'-telliug  to-day  is  almost  an  anach- 
ronism, notably  in  the  West  and  in  a  De- 
mocracy devoted  to  practicalit}-,  whose  peo- 
ple are  so  ceaselessly  busy  as  are  ours. 
Nevertheless,  there  are  men  here  who,  with- 
out the  endowments  of  the  East,  tell  very 
good  stories  and  furnish  entertainment  to  a 
wide  circle  of  their  acquaintances.  Their 
stories  are  not  epics  nor  set  tales  like 
those  of  the  Orient ;  they  are— or  ought  to 
be — short,  pertinent,  pithy,  and  designed 
to  e-vcmplify  the  question  or  point  at  issue. 
When  thoy  fulfill  these  requirements,  they 
are  all  that  can  be  or  is  expected  and  con- 
tribute largely  to  eonvi\ial  or  social  enjoy- 
ment. The  tellers  are  fully  appreciated, 
over-appreciated  generally,  gain  popularity, 
and  are  welcome  in  many  places  for  their 
one  talent.  Flattered  by  their  reception, 
hearing  themselves  praised,  being  in  de- 
mand, they  are  apt  in  a  little  whUe  to  lay 
undue  stress  upon  their  knack — it  is  rather 
tills  than  a  taleait — and  they  cultivate 
it  at  the  expense  of  any  other  capaci- 
ty they  may  have.  All  they  think 
of  is  telling  stories ;  they  tell  them  on  all 
occasions,  and  if  the  occasion  be  lacking 
the}-  often  make  it,  impelled  by  their  vanity 
to  shine  in  the  one  way  that  is  possible. 

Thus  they  sink  into  professionalism,  and 
by  professionalism  lose  the  freshness  and 
interest  which  they  had  as  amateurs.  Then 
they  told  stories  because  they  liked  to,  and 
in  a  free,  easy  manner  that  imparted  a 
charm.  Now,  while  they  still  like  the 
telling,  '  it  is  a  sort  of  trade ;  it  is 
more  associated  with  their  vanity  than 
with  their  gratification ;  it  is  self-con- 
scious, and  intended  for  effect.  They 
are  always  mindful  that  they  have  a  reputa- 
tion to  sustain ;  they  are  watchful  of  their 
listeners,  and  greatly  disturbed  at  any 
lack  of  sympathy  or  attention  on  their  part. 
They  become  egotistic  and  exacting,  and  by 
solicitude  for  their  own  success  neglect 
what  is  due  to  their  hearers.  .  These,  they 
are  prone  to  imagine,  belong  to  them  by 
right  instead  of  courtesy.  They  fall  into 
pedagogism,  and  from  entertainers  deviate 
into  bores,  DjOt  for  the  many,  perhaps,  but 
for  the  few,  who  are  ever  in  advance,  and 
who  eventually  mold,  if  they  do  not  cre- 
ate, the  opinions  of  their  circle. 

Who  is  there  that  has  not  the  infelicity  of 
acquaintance  with  some  of  these  profes- 
sional story-tellers  T  Who  has  not  suffered 
some  time  from  their  inflictions  f  Who  does 
not  remember  when  they  were  pleasant  and 
diverting  comjanions,  and  how  they  were 
spoiled  by  adulation  until  they  spoiled  th«r 
stories  and  wore  out  their  welcome  T  The 
best  of  them  are  likely  to  be^  wearisome 
after  a  while,  and  certain  to  be  when,  as 
frequently  happens,  they  have  grown  into 
such  self -favor  that  they  fancy  tlk«T  eaunqt 


be  tediona.  "Every  grade  of  society  abotinds 
in  these  professionals,  who  usually 
begin  well,  continue  not  so  well, 
and  become  positively  ill.  Stoiy-tell- 
ing  is  always  attended  with  danger, 
and  ought,  like  professionalism,  to  be  held 
in  dread.  The  giit,  if  it  be  such,  should  be 
used  sparingly,  and  invariably  with  judg- 
ment. The  temptation  to  tell  a  good  story 
is  always  strong  to  a  man  who  can  tell  it 
cleverly,  and  quite  as  strong,  unhappUy,  to 
a  man  who  is  sure  to  tell  it  abominably. 
This  temptation  should  be  resisted  vigor- 
ously, even  on  occasions  that  are  appropri- 
ate, and  imder  eireumstanees  that  are  fa- 
vorable, since  frequent  yielding  destroys 
self-control,  and  results  in  nimiety.  One 
of  the  greatest  perils  of  a  story-teller  is  rep- 
etition, which  is  inevitable,  of  course,  but 
which  he  believes  he  avoids  to  familiar  ears. 

If  a  liar  should  have  a  good  memory,  a 
story-teUer  should  have  a  memory  equally 
good ;  but,  like  the  liar,  it  is  impossible  for 
him  to  have  one  perfect  enough  to  serve  his 
purpose.  He  must  tell  the  same  things  over 
and  again  to  the  same  person,  and  the 
longer  he  continues  in  the  business  the  more 
certain  he  is  to  forget  who  his  auditors  have 
been.  When  he  becomes  a  professional,  he 
will  be  sure  to  repeat  to  the  same  company 
not  only  one  story,  but  a  series  of  incidents, 
anecdotes,  or  reminiscences  which  they 
have  learned  by  heart  from  his  own  lips. 
Even  should  he  have  some  distrust,  and 
ask,  "  Haven't  I  told  you  this  T"  his  com- 
panions, if  they  are  polite,  will  reply,  "  I 
think  not,"  or  "I  don't  remember,"  and 
thus  -invite  martyrdom  from  pure  courtesy. 

The  professional,  or  even  the  semi-pro- 
fessional, story-teller  is  held  in  terror  in  all 
the  walks  of  cirilizatiou,  and  his  private 
punishment  is  his  dense  ignorance  of  the 
fact.  His  acquaintances  may  not  doubt  his 
capacity  for  oral  narrative ;  but  they  dis- 
like to  hear  his  stories  more  than  five  hun- 
dred times  apiece.  They  may  be  impatient, 
fastidious,  unkind ;  but  it  must  be  avowed 
that  there  is  a  touch  of  human  nature  in 
their  dislike.  We  cannot  aU  agree  with  the 
stoic  who  approved  of  a  favorite  anecdote 
of  a  diner-out  in  the  words :  "  I  am  delighted 
with  it ;  I  am  always  delighted  with  % ;  I 
was  delighted  with  it  when  I  first  heard 
Smith  tell  it,  twenty  years  ago ;  I  have 
heard  him  tell  it  at  frequent  intervals  ever 
since,  and  I  am  delighted  with  it  from 
ancient  association  as  we  are  with  an  old, 
old  friend  who  never  changes,  who  is  always 
the  same — yesterday,  to-day  and  forever." 
Men  start  in  the  street  and  turn  short  comers 
when  they  see  the  notorious  story-teller 
approaching,  for  their  instinct  assures  them 
he  has  nothing  new.  They  assume  an  air 
of  resignation  in  his  society  and  ^lip  into  as 
easy  a  position  as  possible  when  he  begins 
to  unfold  his  tale.  They  slip  out  Xhe  side 
door  of  the  club  as  he  enters  loaded  with 
his  too-familiar  themes,  and  ready  to  dis- 
charge them  at  the  first  persons  in  range. 

The  habitual  story-teller  is  not  always 
proficient,  by  any  means.  He  may  be  a 
bungler,  and  may  add  torment  to  repetition. 
He  may  be  so  slow  of  utterance  as  to  enable 
everybody  to  anticipate  the  end  long  before 
it  has  been  reached.  He  may  pause  for 
trifling  details,  and  insist  on  recalling  what 
is  of  no  consequence  whatever.  He  may  be 
a  man  whom  Nature  never  intended  for  his 
ravished  calling,  andTwho  makes  his  hear- 
ers suffer  for  his  sin.  But  if  he  be  the  best 
and  cleverest  of  his  kind  he  eannot  be  other 
than  a  periodic  bore.  To  be  acceptable  he 
must  often  conquer  his  inclination,  and 
nobly  forego  opportunities,  manifestly  ripe, 
for  his  self-approbation.  He  must  be  occa- 
sional, and  then  flash  out  his  stories  as  part 
_of  his  talk,  making  his  auditors  forget  that 
he  has  introduced  a  story  and  that  he  is  a 
story-teller.  Only  in  that  adroit  way  will 
he  be  always  welcome  ;  for  to  be  distinctly 
recognized  and  known  as  a  story-teller  is  to 
turh  friends  into  fugacious  foes. 


DOXAMUE'S  DILEMMA. 

Just  at  present  Mr.  Barney  DqNAHTJE  is 
in  the  clutches  of  a  rural  minion  of  despot- 
ism who  wears  the  gaudy  uniform  of  a 
County  Sheriff ;  but  as  soon  as  he  regains 
his  freedom  he  intends  to  abandon  the  field 
of  rioting  and  to  devote  himself  to  the  busi- 
ness of  editing  a  newspaper. 

There  is  xmquestionably  no  more  loath- 
some capitalist  than  the  average  editor. 
Every  intelligent  rioter  knows  that  the 
editor  never  does  a  partiqle  of  work. 
He  simply  sits  in  an  office  si'few;  hours  dur- 
ing the  day,  reads  a  newspaper  or  two,  con- 
verses pleasantly  with  his  visitors,  and 
draws  an  enormous  salary,  upon  which  he 
lives  in  demoralizing  luxury.  As  for  work- 
ing, or,  in  other  word's,  doing  or  pretending 
to  do  sometimtg  with  a  spade,  a  hammer,  or 
an  axe,  he  is  altogether  too  proud  to  do  any- 
thing of  the  kind.  He  is,  in  short,  a  social 
parasite  who  robs  the  rioters  of  the  wealth 
which  the  labor  of  their  hands  produces, 
and  squanders  it  in  the  gratification  of  his 
aristocratic  instincts.  That  he  is  a  capital- 
ist is  as  notorious  as  that  he  is  not  a  work- 
ing man.  His  ill-gotten  and  colossal  wealth 
— that  is  to  say,  such^f  it  as  he  does  not 
selfishly  squander — is  the  sole  object  of  his 
affections.  What  is  it  to  him  if  the  rioter 
starves  upon  half  rations  of  whisky  and  has 
no  time  to  practice  upon  the  piano  ?  By 
nature  and  by  virtue  of  his  circumstances 
he  is  the  foe  of  every  man  who  riots,  and 
should  be  hated  and  despised  accordingly. 

That  Mr.  Donahue,  a  rioter  who  rioted 
with  great  diligence  in  order  to  so  improve 
the  finances  of  the  Erie  Road  by  destroying 
its  property  as  to  enable  it  to  pay  higher 
rates  of  wages,  should  voluntarily  lay  down 
his  club  and  become  a  bloated  editor  ean 
hardly  fail  to  surprise  his  fellow-rioters. 
Their  respect  for  him  must  necessarily 
vanish,  and  they  must  hereafter  look  upon 
him  as  a  renegade  and  an  enemy.  Mr. 
Donahce,  as  the  editor  of  his  contemplated 
journal,  will,  of  course,  never  do  any  more 
riotous  work.  He  will  be  like  aU  other 
editors,  aud  wiU  care  for  nothing  but  his  ex- 
orbitant salary.  When  his  old  comrades 
call  at  his  ofiice — in  case  they  should  con- 
descend to  notice  him — they  will  find  him 
dressed  in  kid  gloves  and  a  new  hat,  engaged 
in  smoking  a  costly  cigar  and  reading  one  of 
the  organs  of  capital.  He  may  at  first  make 
a  hollow  pretense  of  retaining  his  old  love 
for  rioting,  but  his  life  of  sybaritic  luxury 
must  inevitably  lower  his  moral  tone.  He 
will  soon  purchase  out  of  the  surplus  of  his 
salary  a  magnificent  brown-stone  house,  and 
will  turn  a  deaf  ear  to  the  earnest  rioters 
who  may  tirge  him  to  bum  it  down.  The 
day  Mr.  Donahue  becomes  an  editor  he  will 
bo  simply  a  detestable  capitalist,  and  wiU 
ioia  wifh  all  other  capitalists  in  t^eir  de> 


termination  to  make  negro  slaves  of  the 
working  men. 

It  is  only  fair  to  say  that  it  is  rumored 
that  Mr.  Donahue  intends  to  remain  a  riotei 
even  after  he  becomes  an  editor  and  to  eon- 
duct  his  paperupon  strictiy  riotous  principles. 
Those  who  believe  this  rumor  assert  that 
hife  journal  will  be  forced  into  circulation  by 
processes  anal^ous  to  those  by  which  he 
has  hitherto  endeavored  to  raise  *lie  wages 
of  brakemen  and  engineers.  If  it  is  proper 
to  create  a  riot  in  order  to  induce  capitalists 
to  pay  Mr.  Donahue  an  increase  of  Wages 
when  working  on  a  railroad,  it  is  clearly 
proper  for  that  gentleman  to  create  riots  in 
order  to  compel  other  capitalists  to  pay  him 
for  his  paper.  He  will  therefore  canvass 
for  subscribers  at  the  head  of  a  mob.  and 
will  give  the  public  the  choice  of  either  buy- 
ing his  paper  or  of  having  their  ill-gotten 
houses  burned  over  their  miserable  heads. 
From  time  to  time  he  will  announce  that  the 
price  of  his  paper  is  to  be  immediately  in- 
creased, and  will  send,  notifications,  orna- 
mented with  drawings  of  coffins  and  death- 
heads,  to  his  old  subscribers,  requiring  them 
to  pay  the  additional  price  or  to  prepare  for 
immediate  burial.  When  he  issues  an  extra 
blood  will  certainly  flow.  The  casual  capital- 
ist, who  meets  a  mob  of  a  thousand  desperate 
newsboys  carrying  Mr.  Donahue's  extra,  and 
demanding  fifty  cents  a  copy  or  blood,  will 
usually  "compromise"  by  paying  the -full 
sum  demanded ;  but  occasionally  some  par- 
ticularly ol^stinate  capitalist  will  refuse  to 
accede  to  the  demand,  and  will  call  upon 
the  authorities  to  protect  him.  Neverthe- 
less, as  Mr.  Donahue  asserts,  the  capitalists 
are  in  a  small  minority,  and  the  moment 
they  see  that  their  enemies  are  banded 
together  they  will  hasten  to  surrender  end 
to  buy  unlimited  extras  at  ecormcus  prices. 

■VThile  thus  conducting  his  paper  like  £ 
true  and  earnest  rioter,  Mr.  Donahue — sc 
his  apologists  insist — will  scrupulously  re^ 
spect  the  wishes  of  all  who  work  under  him. 
When  his  compositors  strike,  as  they  may 
naturally;  under  the  eircumstances.be  ex- 
pected to  do  at  least  three  times  a  week,  he 
will  instantly  pay  them  whatever  they 
may  ask.  There  is  no  principle  dearer  to 
him — if  we  may  believe  his  professions — 
than  the  sacred  right  of  the  employed  to 
strike  for  precisely  such  wages  as  they  may 
think  proper ;  and  there  is  no  crime  which 
he  regards  as  worse  than  a  refusal  to  yield 
on  the  part  of  employers.  Hence  he  will 
be  only  too  glad  to  have  his  compositors 
constantiy  striking  for  increased  pay,  and 
will  doubtiess  hope  that  their  example  wiU 
stimulate  his  sub-editors  and  reporters  to  do 
likewise.  The  more  rioous  his  strikers 
may  be,  and  the  more  oiten  they  may  break 
his  windows  and  bum  down  his  office,  the 
better  will  he  be  pleased  at  their  heartj 
adoption  of  his  pet  pi-inciple  of  political 
economy.  Thus  Mr.  Donahue  wiU  find  his 
editorial  life  a  gay  round  of  riots  and  strikes, 
and  if  he  is  not  happy  it  will  be  because  he 
loses  faith  in  his  own  creed. 

It  does  seem  as  if  a  paper  conducted  after 
this  fashion  would  fail  to  become  success- 
ful. At  any  rate,  it  will  be  an  entirely  new 
experiment,  and  timid  men  will  look  upon  it 
with  considerable  doubt-  And  yet  either 
Mr.  Donahue  must  manage  his  paper  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  doctrines  which  he  has 
hitherto  professed,  or  he  mtist  become  as 
bloated,  as  loathsome,  and  as  much  of  s 
capitalist  as  are  other  editors.  Perhaps  ir 
this  dilemma  the  best  thing  that  cotdd  hap- 
pen to  hiTTi  would  be  his  detention  in  the 
dungeons  of  the  penitentiary  for  a  term  oJ 
years.  He  would  then  be  free  from  the  ne- 
cessity of  choosing  between  becoming  a 
capitalist  or  remaining  a  striker,  and  could, 
moreover,  amuse  himself  by  striking  b1 
fixed  intervals  for  an  increase  of  his  term  oi 
imprisonment,  with  a  certainty  that  sucli 
strike  would  never  fail  of  success. 


It  is  reported  in  the  Western  papers  thav 
a  movement  is  making  among  the  managers 
of  roads  connecting  with  the  trunk  lines  to 
combine  to  force  tlie  latter  to  charge  higher 
rates,  aud  the  Western  press  is  not  without 
a  commendatory  word  for  the  project.  It  is 
not  impossible  that  such  a  movement  may 
be  made ;  the  complaints  of  Western  con- 
nections have  more  than  once  been  made 
the  basis  of  action  by  the  trunk  lines.  But 
on  the  one  hand  it  is  not  likely  that 
interests  so  scattered  and  so  various  as 
those  of  the  roads  which  feed  the  trunk 
lines  ean  be  brought  into  close  enough  har- 
mony to  make  the  movement  very  formi- 
dable, aud  on  the  other,  in  the  long  run  it  is 
plain  that  the  trunk  lines,  with  their  large 
capital,  superior  organization,  and  more 
effective  equipment,  must  control  the  rates 
of  freight.  If  they  yield  to  the  reelamationv 
of  their  Western  connections  it  will  only  b* 
because  their  own  interests  dictate  an  ad» 
Vance.  Meanwhile,  it  is  amusing  fo  perceive 
the  indignant  tone  in  which  some  papers 
which  took  very  kindly  to  the  Granger  move- 
ment speak  of  the  wrong  inflicted  on  the 
Western  railroads  in  not  allowing  them  tf 
charge  enough. 


A  GEORGIA  VIEW  OF  JOt  KET-S  SPEECB. 
The  Columbus  (Ga.)  Enquirer  says :  '•  Post- 
master-General Key  was  a  Colonel  in  the  Confed- 
erate Army,  fought  bravely,  was  a  Democrat,  claims 
to  be  one  yet,  and  voted  for  Tilden.  In  New- Eng- 
land, as  a  Southern  man,  be  stultifies  himself  and 
the  people  he  pretends  to  represent.  Mr.  Hayef 
"and  the  rest  apologize  for  his  presence  among  them, 
and  Mr.  Key  arises,  and,  with  abject  ImmSlity,  con- 
tinues the  apology,  and  talks  about  'erring  btnthers' 
of  the  South  and  'repentant  sinners.'  "We  really 
wish  he  would  stop  all  this  flunkyi^m  BXtd  shame- 
ful misrepresentation  of  our  people.  TheSonthem 
people  do  not  feel  they  have  '  erred,'  nor  hare  they 
repented.  They  are  proud  of  their  past,  and  regret 
nothing  save  the  noble  hearts  tiiat  fought  for  tile 
lost  cause,  and  went  to  death  for  it.  They  have  ac- 
cepted the  inevitable,  as  Mr.  Hayes  was  forced  to 
adopt  Demociatic  policy  in  the  removal  of  troops 
from  State-houses.  They  -will  keep  their  plighted 
word.  and.  under  the  Constitution,  are  as  true  as  any 
section  of  our  land.  They  do  not  accept  the  tracJc- 
ling  sentiments  of  Mr.  Key  when  in  the  North,  for 
they  glory  in  the  past,  and  liope  to  make  the  tatur* 
worthy  of  it." 

A  XORTE  OASOLIXA  VIEW  OF  MR.  KEY. 
Referring  to  Secretary  Key's  speeches  in  New- 
England,  the  Raleigh  (S.C)  Observer  says:  "The 
whole  performance  is  to  the  last  degree  humiliating 
and  mortifying,  we  are  free  to  cotifesa.  If  the  Strath- 
em  people  were  vile  traiton  who  owe  their  lives  and 
what  remnants  of  property  they  possess  to  the 
clemency  and  magnanimity  of  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment, then  indeed  we  have  done  that  Government, 
and  the  portion  of  the  American  people  it  repz«- 
sented,  great  wrong.  If  we  were  criminals  and  they 
patriots,  then  indeed  Mr.  Key  does  well  to  exhiint 
himself  dfdly  and  nightly  before  the  Xorthem  people 
as  a  living  demonstration  of  Southern  penitence,  and 
then,  indeed,  does  he  do  right  to  declare  that  Hr. 
Hayes  has  put  us  on  our  good  behavior.  But  if  w* 
are'not  in  that  degraded  position,  then  Mr.  Key  is 
wrong,  and  needlessly  humiliates  himself  and  the 
section  from  which  he  comes,  by  the  attitude  in  whicjr 
he  has  placed  himself  before  the  Northern  public."

From  Ota-  Own  Com^poKdeht 
Boston,  Thursday,  Aug.  23,  1877. 

For  an  >if#'""year  the  polities  of  Maasaohu- 
•Bt^raTf*  AT***  'iinglj-  unsettled-  The  Governor- 
imp,  wht.fh  loany  wise  politicians  and  not  a 
lew  wise  na-.^-apapers  long  ajco  conaigiied  to  the 
Uosetas  the  portable  property  of  its  present 
wasessor,  keeps  wriggling  out  through  crevices 
ind  chinks  to  disturb  the  calculations  and 
Ireama  of  those  who  are^  saddled  with  the  duty 
9t  its  final  disposition.  ^Slien  it  became  an  es- 
tablished fact  that  Gov.  Rice  wished  to  remain 
-  tn  office  another  year,  his  friends  summarily 
irove  off  all  other  aspirants,  and  taking  forci- 
ble possession  of  the  field,  compelled  Talbot  and 
tjong,  and  others  whose  heads  had  just  be- 
gun to  appear  over  the  top  of  the  fence, 
io  be  content  with  the  honor  of 
i  graceful  withdrawal  from  the  race. 
\n'.l  so  Talbot  and  Long  withdrew,  and  the  fact 
Kos  officially  and  publicly  proclaimed  in  the 
newspapers  and  in  the  inner  circles  of  political 
workers,  and  the  politicians  concluded  that  the 
guestlon  was  settled  beyond  the  possibility  of 
fesuscitatlon,  and  that  all  the  convention  would 
fiave  to  do  would  be  to  renominate  Mr.  Rice  by 
(hcclamation  and  pass  a  resolution  of  confidence 
|n  and  approval  ot*  the  President's  policy.  But 
there  is  a  troublesome  public  sentiment,  for 
which  nobody  in  particular  seems  to  be  respon- 
^le,  which  vigorously  kicks  against  a  third 
term  of  Mr.  Rice,  and,  what  is  the  strangest 
feature  of  the  opposition,  it  does  not  seem  to  be 
fn  the  interest  of  any  other  candidate.  The 
withdrawal  of  Long  and  Talbot  was  bona 
fide,  and  their  friends— that  is,  the  men  who 
were  before  the  public  as  their  advocates — 
accepted  the  situation  gracefully^  so  that  then* 
would  seem  to  b©  no  concerted  movement  and 
po  organized  hostility  to  Gov.  Rice,  only  a  float- 
Ims  apprehension  that  if  nominated  he  will  be 
defeated,  and  a  general  disinclination  to  see  him 
pgain  chosen  as  the  leader  of  the  party. 
jABd  yet  no  man  has  givea  more  general  satis- 
^^action  ;  few  mun  have  occupied  the  chair  with 
more  dignity  or  maintt^ed  the  credit  and 
reputation  of  the  Commonwealth  with  more 
success  than  he.  His  vetoes  of  the  Tunnel  and 
anti-license  bills  toward  the  close  of  tSe  last 
pession  gained  for  him  a  host  of  friends,  and  if 
he  had  then  decided  to  retire  from  office  his 
jname  would  have  been  handed  down  among 
(the  best  men  who  have  preceded  him  in 
the  Gubernatorial  chair.  Mr.  Rice's  reputation 
in  politics  heretofore,  that  is,  before  he  entered 
fthe  executive  I>epartment,  was  very  good,  but 
he  was  never  suspected  of  being  a  man  of  such 
positive  views  that  he  could  not  modify  or  re 
vamp  them  to  suit  the  signs  of  the  times  or  the 
drift  of  public  sentiment.  He  had  been  Mayor 
of  Boston^  and  while  there  had  given  general 
satisfaction  ;  he  had  no  enemies ;  he  di3plea5tefl 
nobody,  because  he  always  felt  of  the  public 
Ipulse  before  he  took  a  decided  step,  and  gen- 
lerally  decided  in  favor  of  the  majority.  His 
'career  in  Congress  was  molded  after  the  same 
fashion.  He  made  an  intelUsrent  and  useful 
representative,  but  he  nev»jr  rose  above  medi- 
-ocrity.  He  was  accused  of  a  certain  lack  of 
rigidity  in  the  spinal  column,  and  his  first  year's 
experience  as  Governor  afforded  no  reason  for 
changing  the  original  estimate.  He  made  a 
good,  faithful,  intelligent  Governor  as  Gov- 
ernors i?o,  and  was  renominated  without 
opposition.  But  it  was  generally  un- 
derstood that  this  was  to  be  his  last  year,  and 
it  is  well  known  that  he  so  understood  it  him- 
self. His  vetoes,  therefore,  while  showing  a 
sudden  stiffeuiug  of  the  backbone,  must  be 
view*^  from  this  i^tacdpoint,  that  he  was  not  a 
candidate  for  renomination.  He  was  also  loom- 
ing up  somewhat  in  national  politics,  and  his 
iiam«  was  quite  freely  used  in  connection  with 
a  Cabinet  portfolio  or  a  foreign  appointment. 
Under  these  circumstances  he  *'  returned  to  the 
Senate  where  it  orii;inated."  and  without  his 
signature,  a  biU  pushed  through  by  the  Prohi- 
bitionists which  aimed  to  materially  modify  the 
present  satisfactory  license  law.  now  working  so 
well  in  the  larp^e  cities.  And  in  the  message 
which  accompanied  the  veto  he  took  a  decided 
stand,  and  the  Urst  which  he  is  known  to  have 
publicly  taken  in  favor  of  a  well-regulated  li- 
cense law.  He  strikes  a  blow  at  the  pet  theory 
of  the  Prohibitionists  when  he  says : 

**  It  is  a  settled  fact  that  no  legislation  can 
perfectly  extirpate  the  use  of  intoxicating  liq- 
uors as  a  beverage  ;  and  all  the  forces  of  Chris- 
tendom have  not  been  able  by  any  means  to  ac- 
complish that  result :  and  if  there  be  Pagan  or 
non-Christian  countries  where  abstinence  from 
th^  upe  of  spirituous  liquors  has  been  enforced 
>»  «T»  olute  authority,  even  those  people  have 
o^^t**!-  -timtUantsiiot  less  hurtful  and  pestiferous 
fnTa  ir  indulgence.  It  is  a  fact  of  history  in 
—  j-^.ust  experience  of  this  Commonwealth  that 
extreme  laws  on  this  subject  have  not  been  ef- 
fective^ and  their  impotency  has  not  always 
arisen  from  indisposition  to  enforce  them  on 
the  part  of  those  charged  with  that  responsibil- 
ity, but  from  inherent  difficulties  which  lie  in 
the  way  of  their  administration." 

Now,  this  would  naturally  drive  away  the 
Prohibitionists,  who  have  year  after  year  enun- 
ciated doctrines  diametrically  opposed  to  com- 
mon 3eDse  in  the  treatment  of  the  liquor  ques- 
tion. The  Republican  Partv  could  have  doubt- 
less afforded  to  *' cut"  the  followers  of  Miner, 
Baker,  Phillips,  and  Faxon  in  a  Presidential 
y^BSTy  but  could  they  do  so  in  an  off  year  ?  Mr. 
Bftce  did  not  receive  a  Cabinet  appointment  nor 
y«et  a  foreign  mission,  and  he  decided  to  accept 
Lbe  charge  of  guiding  the  destinies  of  the  State 
another  year,  and  he  meets  at  the  outset  the 
hostility  of  about  12,0iX)  Prohibitionists. 

The  other  veto,  which  attracted  a  good  deal  of 
comment,  and  elicited  the  most  friendly  criti- 
cism from  ail  but  the  parties  directly  in  interest, 
was  that  of  the  Tunnel  bill.  By  persistent  lob- 
b\ing  and  wire-pulling  certain  railroad  combi- 
■no*»7  ns  had  succeeded  in  smuggling  through  a 
'  •"  'hat  aimed  to  upset  the  toll-gate  plan  and 
make  a  contract  running  seven  years  for  the 
use  of  the  great  bore.  The  Governor  and  Coun- 
cil were  to  see  to  tlie  fultiUmeut  of  the  contract, 
and  were  therefore  constituted  a  sort  of  rail- 
road board  of  Directors,  and  future  Legislatures, 
until  the  expiration  of  the  seven  years,  were 
prohibited  from  changing  or  modifying  the 
bargain.  To  this  the  leading  men  along  the 
line  of  the  tunnel  route,  and  chielly  in  the  west- 
em  part  of  th  State,  attached  themselves,  and 
they  succeeded  in  getting  the  measure  through 
both  hoQses.  The  Governor  vetoed  it,  and  drew 
down  the  hostility  of  the  tunnel  men,  while 
tlie  great  masses  of  the  people,  the  business  men 
and  tax-payers,  generally  applauded  his  action. 
From  these  two  elements  came  the  active  oppo- 
nents of  Gov.  Rice,  and  shrewd  leaders,  know- 
ing this  opposition,  are  loth  to  risk  defeat  by 
placing  him  at  the  head  of  the  ticket. 

When  the  Legislatiire — and  pretty  near  the 
who''e  of  it  turned  out — was  on  its  way  to  Ben- 
nington to  attend  the  celebration  last  week,  the 
members  talked  freely  and  openly  in  opposition 
to  Mr.  Rice's  candidacv.  The  young  men 
wanted  Long,  and  the  Prohibitionists  wanted 
Talbot ;  but  a  very  small  minority  wanted  Rice. 
And  yet  Rice  seems  to  have  the  poll  so  far, 
chiefly,  it  is  to  be  presumed,  because  there  is  no 
other  candidate  working  for  the  nomination. 
Either  Col.  Long  or  Mr.  Talbot  would  accept 
if  they  got  the  necessary  votes,  but  for  the  sake 
of  harmony  they  are  walling  to  keep  out  of  the 
way.  This  is  the  actual  condition  of  affairs  in 
the'  Republican  camp  at  the  present  time.  What 
may  transpire  to  cnange  it  between  now  and 
Sept.  19  oi  course  cannot  be  conjectured.  But 
if  all  signs  are  not  erroneous,  there  will  be  more 
than  one  ballot  at  the  convention,  unless  the 
potent  night-before  caucus  or  conference  can 
adjust  the  differences. 

In  the  Democratic  camp  there  is  also  a  state 
of  uncertainty  that  portends  some  vigorous 
wire-pulling.  As  present  indications  go,  ex- 
Gov>.  Gaston  has  the  inside  track.  He  is  by  far 
the  most  available  candidate,  and  the  leaders 
kn(yw  it.  But  there  are  factions  on  factions, 
and  they  are  working  with  determination  and  a 
rebkless  disregard  for  the  result.  The  friends 
of  Mayor  Prince,  of  this  city,  who  are  captivat- 
ed with  his  fidelity  to  the  party  in  the  matter 
of  appointments  and  municipal  measures  gen- 
eniry,  are  loud  in  their  demands  for  his  recog- 
ztition  as  a  candidate.  They  are  beginning  to 
zealize  that  his  hold  on  the  affections  of  Boston 
Is  breaking,  and  they  would  fain  satve  him  from 
^e  lesser  defeat  by  putting  him  on  the  road  to 
« jdsiwr  and  more  respectable  one.    He  would 


yet  been  mentioned^  if  we  except,  of  course,  the 
venerated  name  of  Charles  Francis  Adams, 
He  has  proved  himself  a  politician  pure 
and  simple,  has  never  risen  above  party 
in  any  measure  that  he  could  control  since 
his  elevation  to  office,  and  he  has  no  following 
outside  of  the  city  whatever.  Judge  Abbot  is 
also  a  candidate,  but  his  stren^h  is  n*t  known 
yet  He  has  a  hostility  for  Gov.  Gaston,  which 
showed  itself  in  the  campaign  of  1876  very 
effectively.  When  Gaston  was  Governor  there 
was  a  vacancy  on  the  Supreme  Bench  which 
Abbot  wanted  very  much,  but  which  he  did  not 
get.  and  he  is  therefore  an  enemy  of  the  present 
leading  candidate.  He  threw  all  bis  inJftuence 
In  favor  of  Adams  at  Worcester  last  year,  fcnd 
helped  to  force  that  ice-bound  statesman  on  the 
Democratic  Party,  and  in  return  for  this  the 
Gaston  men  threatened  to  defeat  him  for  Con- 
gress ;  but  the  Judge  very  wisely  declined 
to  run,  and  his  district  was  the  only  one 
siK'ed  to  the  Democracy  in  the  State.  The  feud 
still  exists,  but  Gaston  has  the  stronger  follow- 
ing, and  unless  the  friends  of  other  candidates 
cumbiue  against  him  he  will  secure  the  nomina- 
tion without  much  difficulty.  He  is  the  only 
man  the  Republicans  have  any  apprehension  of, 
and  if  he  is  nominated  at  W  orcester  Sept.  13, 
the  friends  of  Mr.  Rice  will  need  to  be  very 
cautious  at  the  convention  which  takes  place  six 
days  later,  Thev  will  certainly  have  a  harder 
fight  to  make,  for  some  of  the  shrewdest  ob- 
servers are  outspoken  in  their  belief  that  with 
Rice  pitted  against  Gaston  the  hitter's  chances 
would  be  very  doubtful. 

The  two  leading  parties  thus  disposed  of, 
there  are  four  yet  remaining  which  clamor  for 
notice.  And  first  in  order  of  power  and  prom- 
inence come  the  Prohibitionists,  who  have  of 
late  years  formed  the  unknown  quantity  in  poli- 
tics '  here  and  the  great  disturbing  element 
which  needed  to  be  conciliated  by  the  Repub- 
lican leaders  before  success  was  insured.  They 
lost  caste  in  the  campaign  of  1874,  when  they 
forced  the  party  to  take  up  Talbot,  a  determined 
Prohibitionist,  who  was  beaten  by  Gaston  by  a 
majority  of  5,000  votes*.  Since  then  they  have 
been  ignored  by  the  Republicans,  and  have  pre- 
sented to  the  voters  of  the  Common- 
wealth the  name  of  John  I.  Baker,  of 
Beverly,  a  pronounced  cold-water  man. 
Their  leading  lights  have  been  Dr.  Miner, 
Wendell  PhilUps,  Henry  Faxon,  and  a  few  min- 
isters who  take  an  active  part  in  the  politics  of 
the  State  Last  year  they  cast  some  12,000 
votes,  which  were  chiefly  drawn  from  the  Re- 
publican strength.  They  will  hold  a  conven- 
tion at  Worcester  Sept.  12,  and  the  leading  can- 
didates for  their  approval  are  Mayor  Stott,  of 
Lowell,  and  Mr.  Baker.  Wendell  Phillips  is  also 
spoken  of.  as  he  is  likely  to  be  agreeable  to  a 
few  other  disaffected  elements.  There  is  proba- 
bly no  man  in  Massachusetts  at  all'  available 
who  would  poll  a  smaller  number  of  votes  than 
Wendell  PhilUps,  He  and  Charles  Francis 
Adams  are  irrevocably  on  the  political  shelf. 

The  three  remaining  factors  in  our  political 
.^stcm  this  year  are  the  Woman  Suffi^agists. 
the  Labor  Reformers,  and  the  Greeubackers. 
The  first  two  are  old  residents  in  the  Bay  State ; 
they  are  thoroughly  acclimated,  and  c^n  show 
the  honorable  scars  of  many  a  costly  defeat. 
But  they  always  turn  up  at  the  opening  of  a 
campaign,  and  insist  that  they  have  somewhat 
to  say  in  the  settlement  of  our  political  prob- 
lems, and  no  amount  of  remonstrance  and  no 
accumulation  of  defeats  can  disabuse  their 
minds  of  this  illusion.  The  Labor  Reformers 
have  taken  a  new  lease  of  life  from  the  atten- 
tion which  has  lately  been  attracted  to  the 
problems  involved  in  the  relations  between 
capital  and  labor. .  They  are  making  extensive 
preparations  for  their  convention  to  be  held  at 
Boston,  Sept.  12,  the  same  day  that  the  Prohi- 
bitionists meet  at  Worcester.  Like  other  dis- 
affected elements,  they  look  up  to  Wendell 
Phillips  as  their  great  Moses,  and  no  doubt  they 
will  give  him  their  support  should  he  be  chosen 
as  the  standard-bearer  of  the  cold-water  legions. 
There  only  remain  the  Greeubackers,  the 
voungrest  offshoot  of  political  heresv.  the  latest 
"prout  of  dLsaffection  that  has  sprunj;  up  in  the 
Bay  State.  Until  within  a  few  weeks  it  was  not 
ktiownand  could  not  l>e  believed  that  this  delu- 
sion of  the  Western  States  could  take  r<tot  and 
flourish  imder  the  shadows  of  Bunker  Hill  and 
within  the  atmosphere  of  Harvard's  classic 
groves.  But  it  has.  A  few  very  enterprising 
aud  noisy  fellows  in  Charlestow-n  have  been 
studving  finance  in  a  sopbomoric  kind  of  a  way, 
and  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  they  have 
thoroughly  mastered  the  whole  science  of  po- 
litical economy,  and  esptMiially  that  portion  of 
it  which  pertains  to  the  monetary  policy  of  our 
Government.  They  have  begun  to  organize  in 
a  determined  way.  and  are  outspoken  in  their 
expressions  of  their  intentions  and  purposes. 
Thev  are  not  recog^iiLzed  as  anybody  in  par- 
ticular :  are  not  known  outside  the  wards  they 
live  in.  but  they  talk  glibly  on  the  problems  of 
currency  and  make  converts  of  the  ignorant  and 
uninitiated.  Thev  have  started  clubs  in  differ- 
ent sections- of  the  State  and  have  called  a  Con- 
vention to  meet  in  this  citv  Sept.  .^.  There  is 
no  public  man  visible  in  their  plans,  but  it  is 
known  that  Wendell  Phillips  is  their  great 
prophet  and  Ben  Butler  their  god.  From 
the  great  statesman  of  Lowell  they  undoubtedly 
receive  aid  and  comfort,  and  they  will  very 
likely  put  the  name  of  Wendell  Phillips  on  their 
banner.  There  is  no  sympathy  with  this  move- 
ment outside  of  the  disaffected  and  the  rem- 
nants of  all  the  parties  and  isms  that  abound 
here. 

Next  to  the  Governorship,  of  course,  the  lead- 
ing topic  of  discussion  and  conjecture  is  the 
possible  action  of  the  Republican  Convention  on 
the  Southern  policy  and  the  civil  service  order. 
Here,  as  well  as  in  Maine  and  New-Hampshire. 
there  lh  arespectable  nimil>er  of  earnest  Repub- 
licans who  cannot  accord  their  unqualified  sup- 
port to  the  course  pursued  by  President  Hayes 
in  settling  the  Southern  question.  They  are 
not  prepared  to  fully  indorse  what  they  think 
is  only  an  experiment,  the  success  of  which  tiino 
alone  can  determine.  This  class,  however,  will 
be  in  a  hopeless  minority,  -if  it  shows  itself  at 
all  at  the  convention.  It  is  generally  under- 
stood that  a  resolution  will  be  pas^sed  fully  in- 
dorsing ths  policy  and  expressing  confidence  in 
the  President's  patriotism  and  honesty  of  pur- 
pose. The  leaders,  or  nearly  all  of  them, 
are  for  it;  the  entire  Congressional  delegation, 
without  regard  to  previous  condition,  favor  it ; 
Gov.  Rice  and  other  possible  candidates  want  it, 
so  it  is  not  easy  to  imagine  how  it  can  be 
avoided.  It  is  not  known  whether  the  Demo- 
cratic Convention  will  pass  the  stereotyped  reso- 
lution of  "fraud"  or  not.  The  extremists  would 
be  in  favor  of  such  a  course,  but  the  more  mod- 
erate would  be  satisfieil  with  an  implied  censure 
of  the  work  »f  the  Electoral  Commission.  The 
campaign  from  now  till  the  last  convention  is 
held  bids  fair  to  be  animated,  and  the  campaign 
succeeding  thereto  will  b«  as  lively  and  an 
spirited,  no  matter  who  the  standard-bearers 
may  bo.  _ 

A  DEADLY  ASSAULT. 


A  BEOOKLYN  ilANUFACTrRER  VISITING  HIS 
FACTORT  IS  NEARLY  KILLED  BT  OXE  OF 
HIS  EMPLOYES. 
Mr.'  George  Lightbody.  aged  50  years,  of  No. 
154  Washington-street,  Brooklyn,  is  the  proprietor 
of  an  ink  factorj'  at  No.  1*J9  Furman -street,  in  that 
city.  He  has  in  his  employment  several  workmen, 
among  whom  is  one  Lon^ellow,  who  sleeps  on  the 
premises.  Yesterday  morning  Mr.  Lightbody  went 
to  his  factory  for  Bome  purpose,  and 
while  there  became  involved  in  a  quar- 
rel with  Lon^ellow,  and  was  severely  beaten. 
The  assault,  as  near  as  could  be  ascertained,  occurred 
about  2  o'clock  P.  M.  At  9  o'clock  Mrs.  Lightbody. 
becoming  alarmed  at  the  continued  absence  of  her 
husband,  sent  another  employe  to  look  after  him, 
and  ho  was  fonnd  lying  on  the  floor,  nearly  uncon- 
scions,  and  bleeding  nrofnseiy  from  a  wound 
in  the  bead.  The  Police  of '  the  Second  I*re- 
cinct  were  Immediately  notifled.  and  Sergt. 
Meeks  and  Roundsman  (iaynor  procee<led  to  the  jtlai'e. 
They  questioned  Liightbody  as  to  the  manner  in  which 
he  had  received  his  injuries,  and  h«  said  that  Ijong- 
fellow  had  assaulted  nim.  They  did  not,  however, 
learn  the  cause  of  the  quarrel.  Lightbody  was  re- 
moved to  the  Long  Island  College  Hospital,  where 
the  physicians  in  attendance,  on  examining  his 
wounds,  found  that  hia  skull  was  bndlj^  fractured, 
and  pronounced  his  case  criticaL  Officers  were  sent 
after  Longfellow,  who  had  made  his  escape  after  com- 
mitting the  assault,  and  he  wa«  arrested  about  mid- 
night. He  will  be  arraigned  before  Jostlce  Walsh  to- 
day.   ^ 

KOVEL  EVJDEyCE  OF  REGARD. 
About  two  weeks  ago  it  was  reported  to  the 
authorities  of  Lutheran  Cemetery  that  the  stone 
over  the  grave  of  Frederick  Elsaaser.  which  had  been 
there  for  10  years,  was  missing.  An  investigation 
was  made,  and  the  stone  was  found  at  the  hexul  of 
the  grave  of  Beinholo  Kleuger,  who  was  buried  Ang. 
10,  1874,  the  iikscription  upon  it  having  been  duly 
altered.  The  aathorities  also  discovered  that  several 
other  gravestones  had  been  stolen  and  removed  trojo. 
the  cemetery,  and  a  deputy  was  sent  to 
call  npon  Klenger's  wife.  He  found  her 
at  No.  173  North  Fifth-street,  Williama- 
bo^,  and  was  informed  that  her  new  husband,  one 
Schmidt,  had  purchased  the  gravestone  and  placed  it 
in  the  cemetery.  She  declined  to  state  where  he  was, 
except  that  he  was  away,  his  business  requiring  con- 
stant travel.  Early  last  week  another  call  was  made 
at  the  house  and  Schmidt  was  found.  He  said  he 
knew  nothing  of  the  theft ;  that  he  was  a  wood-carv- 
er, and  had  bought  a  itone  and  cut  it  and  put  it  up 
himself  to  save  expense,  bat  that  rather  than  let  such 
a  matter  gfin  Fubnoity,  he  would  see  that  all  the 
miaaing  stones  were  returned.  On  Saturday  Mn. 
Klenger-Sehznldt  drove  to  the  oemetery  and  left  one 
of  the  vtolen  stones  at  the  cemetery  office,  excuvlzig

HOW  MAILBOAD  TBAINS  ARE  RUX. 
DETAILS  OP  THE  STSTEai  OF  RUNNING  RAIL- 
aOAD  TBAINS  ON  TELEQBAPHIC  ORDERS 
— HOW  IT  CAME  TO  BE  ADOPTED — ^AN 
IMPORTANT  AID  TO  RAPID  TRAVELING. 
Port  Jervis,  N  Y.,  Aug.  25. — The  year 
1850  marks  an  important  era  in  the  history  of 
railroad  manag;ement  in  this  country,  for  it  was 
In  that  year  that  the  tise  of  telegraphic  signals 
in  moving  trains  was  adjtpted.  The  importance 
of  the  telegraph  in  connection  with  ntilroads 
had  been  recognized  before  that,  but  the  neces- 
sary courage  to  utilize  it  was  not  possessed  by 
any  of  the  railroad  managers  of  that  day.  It 
was  left  for  Charles  Minot,  Superintendent  of 
the  New- York  and  Erie  Railway  in  1850,  to 
demonstrate  the  practicability  of  the  telegraph 
under  very  aingtilar  circumstances.  The  system 
of  *•  running  a  railroad "  which  followed  was 
subsequently  adopted  by  all  the  roads  in  the 
country,  and  is  the  one  atill  in  use  on  all  tho 
lines  in  the  United  States.  Previous  to  the  suc- 
cessful experiment  of  General  Superintendent 
Hlnot.  engineers  and  conductors  on  roads  where 
the  telegraph  had  been  constructed  were  afraid 
of  it,  and  there  is  more .  than  one  instance  in 
the  records  of  the  companies  of  engineers  re- 
fusing to  move  their  trains  on  telegraphic 
orders.  This  refusal  was  esi>ecially  em- 
phatic when  the  orders  were  to  proceed 
from  one  station  to  another  on  the  time 
of  a  train  coming  in  an  opposite  di- 
rection, but  which  was  late.  It  frequently  hap- 
pened that  when  a  train  coming:  from  the  west 
was  reported  two  or  or  even  four  hours  late,  the 
engineer  of  a  train  going  west  would  not,  until 
the  other  one  arrived,  move  beyond  the  station 
where  he  should  meet  and  pass  it — thus  caus- 
ing a  delay  of  hours  to  passengers  who  might 
have  been  carried  to  their  destinations  in  the 
interval.  But  the  railroad  men  could  not  un- 
derstand the  running  on  orders  that  were  not 
printe<l  on  their  time-tables,  and  could  not  be 
made  to  believe  that  there  was  not  ^  chance  of 
their  meeting  the  over-due  train  somewhere 
between  stations. 

In  1850  the  Erie  Road  was  in  operation  be 
tween  Piermont  and  Elmira.  but  the  track  whs. 
of  course,  a  single  one.  After  much  discussion 
and  oppoaitiou.  a  telegraph  vara  had  Iwjen  put 
up  along  th©  road.  Mr.  Minot  was  a  strong  be- 
liever in  its  use  as  a  facilitator  of  transporta- 
tion on  railroads.  In  the  Summer  of  1850  he 
was  a  passenger  on  the  road.  The  train  he  was 
on»  according  to  the  printed  time-table,  was  to 

meet  a  through  train  from  the  west  at  Turner's 
Station,  47  miles  from  New-York.  Upon  ar- 
riving at  Turner's  it  was  reported  to  Mr.  Minot 
by  telegraph  that  the  train  from  the  west  was  be- 
tween five  and  six  hours  late,  owing  to  some 
mishap.  Under  tliu  system  then  in  use,  the 
we.stem-bound  train  had  to  lie  at  Turner's 
until  the  eastwar&-bound  train  reached  that  sta- 
tion. In  fact,  the  whole  busiuess  of  the  roa^l 
from  there  west  was  at  a  .standstill,  owing  to 
the  non-arrival  of  that  train  on  time  at  the  var- 
ious stations  where  others  were  awaiting  it. 
Mr.  Minot  resolved  to  test  the  efficacy  of  the  tel- 
egraph in  this  emergency.  He  telegraphed  to 
the  fetation  Agent  at  Port  Jervis  the  news  that 
he  intended  to  mn  the  west-bound  train  to  that 
station  on  the  time  of  the  one  that  was  behind 
time,  and  ordered  him  not  to  let  anv  train  go 
east  until  he  arrived,  and  to  teU-gniph 
him  how  he  understood  his  [Miuot's]  mt-s- 
suge.  The  Agent  answered  .satisfactorily.  Mr. 
Minot  ordered  the  train  to  procetnl.  The  eriKi- 
neer  positively  refused  to  move  his  engine  away 
from  Turner's  until  the  over-due  train  arrived. 
The  Superintendent  at  once  ordered  the  engi- 
neer off  the  engine  and  mounted  it  himself,  ran 
the  train  successfully  to  Port  Jervis,  and  sent  It 
ou  as  far  as  Warrenabur^,  where  it  waited  until 
the  late  train  passed  it.  Thus  the  passengers 
were  saved  a  delay  of  over  five  hours,  and  the 
question  of  the  accuracy  of  the  telegraph  in 
movioK  trains  was  forever  settled.  It  is  a  com- 
mon thin^  now  to  move  an  many  as  20  trains  in 
opposite  directions  over  one  (livision  of  tho 
road,  and  so  perfect  has  the  sj'stem  been  miule 
that  during  the  past  10  years  accidents  by  col- 
lision have  rarely  occurred,  and  when  they  do 
occur  they  may  lie  traced  directly  to  some  care- 
lessness on  the  part  of  a  dispatcher. 

The  position  of  Train  Dispatcher  on  one  of  the 
leading  lines  of  railway  is  second  in  importance 
to  none  on  the  road.  On  the  Erie  there  are 
two  for  each  division,  one  for  day  and  one  for 
night  duty.  The  dispatcher  is  not  the  telegraph 
operator,  nor  is  it  necessary  for  him  to  under- 
stand telegraphing.  It  is  his  duty  to  keep  the 
localities  of  every  train  running  east  and  west  on 
division  constantly  In  his  mind,  and  issue  or- 
ders to  them  at  even-  station  where  thev  stop. 
W^en  the  road  had  only  a  single  track  the 
labor  and  responsibility  of  a  Train  Dispatcher 
were  great — 20  trains  running  toward,  say 
Port  Jervis,  and  20  passing  westward  from 
it  All  these  had  to  meet  and  pass  each  other 
somewhere  along  tho  division.  The  dispatcher 
must  know  just  where  to  hold  the  train,  where 
to  send  that  one  from  and  how  far  to  run  it, 
and  anow  within  a  second  just  when  to  ex- 
pect a  train  at  a  station.  With  his 
lime-card  before  him,  containing?  tlie 
names  of  all  stat  ons  and  numbers  of 
all  trains,  the  dispatcher  sits  close  to  the  ope- 
rator, surrounded  by  a  hundred  clicking'  ma- 
chines, checks  off  train  and  station  as  arrivals 
are  rapidly  telegraphed,  aud  quickly  issues  his 
orders  to  the  ojierator,  to  be  sent  to  expectant 
trainmen  all  along  the  division.  The  dispatcher 
of  trains  on  a  single  track  is  the  player  of  a 
gigantic  game  of  ches^.  the  men  in  which  are 
to  be  so  moved  that  they  may  never  bo  brought 
in  check.  For  auv  accident  by  collision  on  a 
railroad  the  dispatcher  is  hi-Ul  responsible,  un- 
less it  is  shown  that  hi.s  orders  were  disobeved. 

The  rules  and  orders  ust?il  on  the  railroads  of 
this  country  in  rminini^tndnsby  tele^aph  neiirly 
alt  origiuated  with  Col.  I>.  (.'.  McColhnu.  when  he 
was  Superintendent  of  the  Erie  Railway  some 
25  years  ajro.  He  liro;i;;ht  them  into  i;eneral 
use  as  Militiir>*  J>uperintt'n<lfnt  of  all  the  rail- 
ways in  the  l'nit4'(l  Stutps  during  the  late  war. 
All  trains  on  the  Erie  iCailway  an?  known  by 
numbers — odd  nunilii-rs  being  used  on  trains 
ruuuing  west,  uml  even  numbers  on  east-buun<l 
trains.  At  every  station  a  book  is  kept  in 
wliich  the  teleffrapli  orders  received  are  copied. 
«nd  sifrned  by  ttio  conductors  and  engiTicera 
when  they  are  received.  These  are  the  gentTal 
orders.  A  train  leaving  one  station  cannot  start 
away  froni  the  next  until  an  order  like  tho  fol- 
owing  is  received ; 

Station, 18—. 

To .  Conductor,  and  ■ — -.   Kngir,frr.  Train  Xo  — . 

You  will  run  to Station,  regardlesft  of  Train 

jJo. 31.  ,  Dispatcher. 

The  figures  "  31  "  at  tho  close  of  the  order 
mean  "  How  do  you  nndei-stand  I "  On  receipt  of 
thtt  message,  the  following  is  returned  to  the 
Dispatcher  : 

Station. 18 — .

rrgardless  of  Train  So. .       ,  t'onduct<tr. 

,  Kui^ineer. 

The  receipt  of  this  being  acknowleilj^dby  the 
dispatcher,  ihv.  train  moves  on  to  the  station  it 
is  ordered  to,  there  to  await  further  instruc- 
tions. All  special  orders  are  given  to  the  con- 
ductors and  enjnneers  in  writing.  If  a  passen- 
Ker  train  at  one  station  is  ordered  to  meet  and 
pass  a  freight  or  other  train  at  another  station, 
the  conductor  of  the  passenger  train  must  not 
start  for  such  station  until  he  is  telegraphed  by 
the  freight  conductor  tliat  he  has  arrived  and  is 
nut  of  the  way  on  a  siding.  A  slow  train  is  fre- 
quently run  between  stations  ahead  of  a  fast 
train,  but  only  when  the  former  can  be  started, 
if  a  pas-senger  train,  10  minutes  ahead  of  the 
time  of  the  fa.st  one ;  or,  if  a  freight,  2r»  min- 
utes ahead.  The  following  order  is  g^ven  in 
cases  of  this  kind : 

Station, IS—. 

To ,  Ckyndrtetor,  and .  Engineer,  Train  No.  — ; 

You  will  run  ahead  of  Train  No.   to  

Station,  conditioned  as  follows  :  Should  yon,  from 
any  cause,  be  unable  to  make  your  ninning  time, 
yoa  must,  as  soon  as  yon  discover  such  to  be  the 
case,  leave  your  flagman  to  warn  the  foUowine  train 
in  advimce  of  which  yon  are  running,  and  report  your 
arrival  at  the  next  telegraph  station.    31. 

,  Dispatcher. 

The  conductor  and  engineer  telegraph  that 
"they  understand,*'  &c.,  aud  the  tratn  moves. 
The  above  orders  are  all  of  any  particular  im- 
portance in  the  system  of  running  a  railroad  bj 
telegraph  in  the  reenlar  routine  of  business. 
Special  occasions  bring  up  special  rules.  The 
fast  train  that  carried  articles  over  the  Erie  for 
the  relief  of  the  sufferers  by  the  Chicago  fire 
had  absolute  right  of  way  over  the  road ;  and 
occasions  of  a  similar  character  interrupt  for 
the  time  the  general  orders.  "Caution'* 
is  the  embodiment  of  all  the  rules  governing 
the  employes  of  a  railroad.  The  Imowledge 
that  his  way  is  dear  for  50  miles,  and  that  by 
no  possibility  can  it  be  obstructed,  does  not 
permit  an  engineer  to  be  less  watchful  or  ex- 
pectant of  dajiger,  and  it  is  a  fundamental  rule

Conservative  State  ticket  in  ViTifinia. 

The  Columbtis  (Ga.)  inguirtfr  is  of  the  opin-

Hon.  Eugene  B.  Gere,  of  Tioga  County,  de- 
clines to  be  a  candidate  for  the  Republican  nomina*

Reports  come  from  Monroe  County  that  the 
peach  trees  are  dying.  Probably  they  will  recover  as 
soon  as  the  fruit  has  been  sold  at  profitable  figures. 

Boston  expects  about  30,000  persons  to 
parade  in  its  procession  on  the  17th  of  September, 
when  the  Army  and  Navy  montunent  on  the  Com- 
mon Is  to  be  unveiled. 

Congressman  W.  A.  Piper  was  run  over  by  a 
light  express  wagon,  at  the  corner  of  Sutter  and 
Kearney  streets,  San  Francisco,  on  the  17cb  Inst. 
His  injturies  were  slight. 

It  Is  rumored  in  Baltimore  that  Mr.  Creswell 
and  others  are  negotiating  to  purchase  the  Everwig

publican morning  paper  of  it. 

The  Iowa  Democratic  State  Convention  is  to 
be  held  In  Marshalltown  on  Wednesday.  The  Pro- 
hibitionists of  the  same  State  will  hold  their  conven- 
tion in  Oskaloosa  on  Tbnraday. 

The  Atlanta  Cotistitution  says  that  repudiation 
*'isa  very  ugly  word,  but  it  doesn't  frighten  the 
poverty-stricken  tax-payers "  of  Georgia.  And  it 
invites  the  "financiers'*  to   "do  their  worst." 

Democratic  papers  bad  a  hard  time  of  it  last 
week  attempting  on  the  same  day  to  commend,  not 
to  say  reconcile,  the  letter  of  Mr.  Williams  in  Maine, 
the  speeches  of  Pendleton  and  Ewing  in  Ohio,  and 
the  party  platform  in  Pennsylvania.  ^    - 

The  Btirlington  Free  Press  says  that  Pre.sident 
Hayes  was  so  much  pleased  with  the  turnout  pro- 
vided fur  him^  at  Bennington  that  he  commissioned 
on  the  spot  Mr.  Gteorge  E.  French,  of  Woodstock,  to 
purchase  for  him  a  span  of  Vermont  horses. 

The  New-Orleans  Timey  has  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  there  are  a  great  many  other  men  whom 
the  South  can  better  afford  to  trust  for  Speaker  than 
Mr.  Randall.  His  varying  utterances.  North  and 
South,  on  the  subsidy  question,  have  exaiiperated  it. 

The  testimony  of  the  Bos'on  Post  was  not 
needed  that  the  modem  Democracy  cares  not  for 
moral  obligations,  ifonly  it  can  seem  to  keep  within 
the  letter  of  the  Btatati>s.  Its  antipathy  to  the  high- 
er law  dates  back  to  the  days  of  its  approval  of 
htunan  slavery. 

The  Quebec  Mercury  states,  on  the  authority 
of  a  gentleman  just  returned  from  England,  that,  in 
the  belief  that  most  of  the  Canadian  failures  are  due 
to  commercial  gambling,  merchants  across  the  At- 
lantic are  becoming  very  careful  about  giving  Cana- 
dian finns  credit. 

The  Bangor  (Me.)  Whig's  correspondence  says 
that  the  issue  in  the  Sagadahoc  County  Republican 
Convention  was  made  by  the  President's  supporters 
to  be  directly  for  or  against  his  Southern  policy,  and 
that  the  "  policy"  ticket  was  def  eat«d  by  one  headed 
by  Gen.  Thomas  W.  Hyde,  by  87  votes  to  49. 

The  question  of  the  location  of  thj^State  cap- 
ital and  the  section  relating  to  homosteadslh^  to  be 
submitted  to  the  people  of  Georgia  as  separate  Lssues. 
lndei>endent  of  the  new  Constitation.  As  seUfied  by 
the  conventiou,  the  homestead  consists  of  a  1. GOO, 
with  the  right  of  waiver  without  the  wife's  Consent. 

A  crazy  man,  when  taken  into  cust«dy  in 
Baltimore,  asked  the  ol&cer  to  mail  for  lilm  a  letter 
which  he  had  written  to  his  sister,  and  signed  with 
h^is  own  name,  and  wliich  read:  '"Your  brother 
•Tames  [himself]  is  dead  ;  died  during  the  riot  here  in 
Baltimore,  It  is  supposed.  I  have  the  kindness  to 
send  this." 

Of  Southern  papers  the  Richmond  Dispatch 
and  the  Richmond  StaU  refuse  to  join  in  the  general 
denunciation  of  Mr.  Key's  utterances  in  New-Eng- 
land. The  latter  says:  "He  baa  said  nothing  at 
which  the  most  inveterate  grumbler  and  fault-finder, 
of  which  we  have  too  many  in  this  section  for  oar 
own  good,  shonld  take  exceptions." 

The  New-Brunswick  Fredoniai^  expresses  the 
belief  that  with  Hon.  Frederick  T.  Prelinghuysen  as 
the  candidate  for  Governor,  the  Renublicans  of  New- 
Jersey  would  be  sure  of  success:  and  the  Newark 
Court**"  thinks  that  if  it  were  certain  that  he  would 
accept  the  Gubernatorial  nomln.ition,  it  would  be 
tendered  him  by  a  unanimous  vote  of  tlie  conven- 
tion. ^ 

Th9  Wntert^wn  Dispatch  says  that  Cliairman 
Daniel  Magone,  Jr.,  Is  in  correspondence  with  the

THE   GREAT  FORGERIES. 


WSAT  MB.  J  A  YNE  SA  YS  ABO  UT  THEM. 

HOW  THE  OPERATIONS  WEBB  GARBIED  ON — 
RESUME  OF  SEVEN  MONTfiS  PUESUIT  OP 
■  THE  GtTTLTY  PARTIES. 

The  Ithaca  Jouryial  of  Saturday  contains  a 
long  report  of  an  Interview  with  B.  G.  Jayne  con- 
cerning his  agency  iu  arresting  the  parties  accused  of 
forgeries.  He  is  reported  as  saying  that  when  in 
this  City  in  February  last  he  received  i^  message 
from  a  leading  law  firm  here  -to  come  to  them 
at  once.  He  continued:  "I  i&&.  so,  and  they 
desired  me  to  undertake  the  detection  and  arrest  of 
the  forgers  who  had  committed  the  forgery  of  Wins- 
low,  lAuler  &  Co. 's  name  to  a  check  on  the  Third 
National  Bank  ^or  $26,986  75.  Neither  the  law- 
yers or  firm  conid  give  me  the  slightest  clue.  I  ac- 
cepted the  work  under  grave  mi^vingi  of  my  abili- 
ty to  accomplish  what  was  expected  of  me." 

Reporter— You  underestimated  your  own  abilities, 
then,  as  the  resolt  shows. 

Mr.  Jayne  (triumphantly) — ^Yes,  I  think  every  one, 
myself  included,  is  perfectly  satisfied.  I  have  suc- 
ceeded in  coopiue  14  of  the  crooked  ones  in  all. 

Reporter— Does  that  include  all  connected  with  the 
"syndicate?" 

Mr.  Jayne — ^All  except  one — the  man  who  escaped 
arrest  in  the  West  while  I  was  at  Chicago.  But  a  de- 
tective stands  by  his  side  with  a  warrant  in  his  pocket 
while  we  are  talking. 

Reporter— Let  me  ask  a  few  preliminary  aud  dis- 
jointed questions  before  voii  tell  us  how  It  was 
done.    They   ate  suggested    by  the    newspaper  re- 

girts.  Did  the  proprietors  of  the  Fifth-Avenue 
otel  object  to  your  keeping  your  prisoners  at  Iheir 
hotel  or  your  making  your  head-quarters  at  that 
place? 

Mr.  Jayne-s^ot  at  all.  They  treated  us  not  only 
hospitably,  but  courteously,  and  extended  every 
facility  possible.  They  claimed  that  any  gentleman 
or  party  of  gentlemen  who  decline  to  rwrister  or  re- 
ceive cards  or  callers  shotUd  be  'accorded  tliat  privi- 
lege, disappointed  news  hunters-to  the  contrary  not- 
withstanaing. 

Reporter— Has  Gen.  Butler  had  any  connection 
with  the  case  or  been  consulted  t 

Mr.  Ja}'ne — ^Not  in  the  least.  One  of  the  captured 
men,  however,  was  once  a  (derk  In  his  office  and  was 
dirtcharged  for  forging  his  [ButlersJ  name. 

Reporter— Did  you  hold.tfae  forgers,  or  any  of  them, 
captnres  in  New  Jersey,  as  stated  \ 

Mr.  Jayne — No ;  I  never  dreamed  of  such  a  thing. 
There  was  not  the  slightest  reason  for  so  doing. 

Reporter — You  did  not  act  as  Government  or 
Treasury  officer,  or  use  United  States  warrants,  pro- 
cess, or  officers  in  effecting  the  capture  I 

Mr.  Jayne — No  to  all  of  that  question. 

Reporter — How,  then,  did  vou  prevail  on  the  crim- 
inals to  return  to  New-York  City  with  you  without  a 
requisition  f  ^ 

ilr,  Jayne — Simply  by  convincing  them  that  I 
knew  their  trauRactions,  lives,  and  histories  for  many 
years  back  as  perfectly  and  minutely  aa  tliey  did 
themselves;  that  they  were  marked  men,  and  with 
the  proofs  In  my  hand  it  was  a  scramble  for  accept- 
ance as  State's  evidence— which  should  save  himself 
by  becoming  most  serviceable. 

Reporter — Are  these  foixers  really  of  the  wealth, 
polish,  and  standing^stated  by  the  papers  f 

Mr.  Jayne — As  to  the  wealth,  no  ;  but  as  to  being 
gentlemen,  Sprngue  and  Gessner  are  as  perfect  and 
accomplished  gentlemen  as  ever  grawd  any  drawing- 
room.  By  the  way,  one  of  the  parties  implioat-ed  In 
this  case  married  and  lived  for  years  in  a  \'illage  but 
a  few  mUea  from  Ithaca,  and  is  one  of  the  largest  tax- 
payers in  it. 

Reporter— I  see  by  the  papers  of  laat  evening  that 
Ge.*tsner  was  committed  to  jail  yesterday  morning. 

Mr.  Jayne — Yes ;  the  last  of  the  Mohicans  is  by 
this  time  behind  the  bars,  and  my  part  of  the  pro- 
gramme is  filled.  'It  now  remams  with  the  >ew- 
York  officers  and  courts  to  do  their  work  as  thor- 
oughly, and  the  great  Metropolis  will  breathe 
easier. 

Reporter^The  papers  of  last  evening  have  full  ac- 
counts of  imtrortant  arrests  by  Pinkeitou's  force  of 
forgers  of  St.  Louis  County  bond^.  I*>  this  com- 
bination In  any  wise  connected  with  the  one  you 
broke  I 

■    Mr.  JajTie — ^No.    I  came  to  know  incidentally   of 
jj^Jiia   St.  'ijouis  business  and   Pinkerton's  efforts  in 
TKiit-Kiirection,   but  they  are   different  men  and  of 
smaller  calibre. 

R<'porter— There  is  no  possibility  that  the  forgers 
you  arrested  perpetrated  the  $<>4,00(>  forgery  of  the 
New- York  Life  In.surance  Company's  cjieck  f 

ilr  Jayne— No;  that  job  will  be  eventually  traced 
to  its  doers  ;  they  are  5»ew-York  City  operators,  and 
the  chief  one  fled  to  Europe  some  months  since,  al- 
most immediatelv  after  the  division  of  the  booty. 
The  others  ar«  lielieved  to  h^in  hidJu^  in  Jersey. 

Renorter — Now,  give  uJiHintOyiusight  into  how 
forcing  on  a  laive  scale  is  HbcceSsfully  done. 

Mr.  Jayne — This  gang  wan  comprised  of  a  busine.-w 
man.  an  eipi-rt  penman  or  "scratchor,"  as  ho  is 
called  in  police  parlance,  a  "lengraver."  a  "statisti- 
cian,'' or  one  wlm  ascertains  l>ank  balances,  and  to 
what  amount  a  check  or  draft  is  good:  a  "Uyer 
down,"  or  the  one  who  presents  the  forged  paper 
for  payment;  a  "piper,"  or  man  who  sees 
that  the  "layer"  honestly  ^"D^pys  the  spoils  to  the 
r«?ndo2vou«  »greed  upon  for  division  and  a  nximlnr 
of  iwsistant  but  minor  "  helps."  In  this  case  Sprague 
was  the  buaineM  man  and  C^fssner  the  expert  who 
washed  genuine  pa^jer.  leavinj^only  the  dfsired  date, 
signature,  and  lipurea.  Col-vessner  has  not  his 
equal  in  thiji  country  in  his  particular  branch.  He 
bad  an  "engraver  "  because  it  was  impossible  some- 
times to  get  a  blank  or  genuine  check  or  Iftter-head, 
and  it  was  necesRar>'  to  make  (me.  Tho  modug  oji- 
frandi  is  illustrftt-ed  by  one  of  the  cast-s  in 
Chicago  as  follows,  but  they  vary  in  nearly 
every  case  in  detail,  as  the  emergency  may  demand. 
These  crest  forgeries  are  manipulated  by  sharp,  edu- 
cated, cultivated  business  men.  8<ime  of  whom  often 
are  or  have  been  bankers,  brokers,  or  large  mer- 
chants who  were  overreaching  or  unfortunate  iu 
bu.sines8.  aud  who  incur  the  nsk  of  prison  bars  to 
gain  wealth  bv  whif^h  to  maintain  their  families  in 
the  style  to  w'hirh  they  are  accustomed  and  flud  nec- 
essary to  retain  caste  in  their  s<.>cietv  circles.  The 
huHino<;s  man  sent  an  operator  to  the  Thir<l  National 
Bank  of  Chi«"acf»,  wlio  opein-d  un  scrount  by  deposit- 
ing a  $'JOO  draft,  and  in  a  day  or  two  chet-king  out 
some  of  it.  and  keeping  this  up  for  some  time,  bnt 
always  leaving  a  go<Mi  balance.  This  slow  process  of 
Imying  dridts  and  depositing,  and  checking  ont  to 
buy  more  dntf ts.  is  kept  up  nntil  an  acquaintance 
and  credit  in  acquired,  in  the  nienwhile  all  the 
drafts  have  been  "  traced"  on  the  very  best  of  oiled 
drawing- 1 laper.  and  the  siguMtiires  and  forms  are 
preserved  by  tho  ■"scratcher."*  When  the  time  has 
come  to  act.  tho  chief,  Ihnnigh  one  of  his  corres- 
pondents, purchases,  for  instance,  in  Milwaukee,  a 
draft  for  $25  on  the  Cl:irago  bank.  This  comes 
inclosed  to  the  "  scratcher,"  who  lakes  out 
all  obstructinc  lines  or  marks  with  acids — 
takes  his  tracings,  finds  the  worn  "  huinlred."  aud  by 
the  aid  of  steel  finger-braces  reproduces  it  in  the 
washed  check  following  the  words  *  •  twenty-five. '" 
and  so  with  the  added  ciphers,  allowing  the  original 
d*te.  signature.  &c..  to  renioin.  In  a  short  time  a 
neat  margin  of  $2,475  Is  made.  Mennwhite.  agents 
have  been  .selected,  for  laying  the  draft  drawn,  lor 
.son>etimeB  the  original  »ie]M»sitor  Is  simply  used  as 
an  "  introducer  "  and  "  ideuLi.'itT."  The  "scratcher" 
never  receives  the  checks  or  drafts  from  any  inan's 
h.-vnd.  or  delivers  it  personally  or  directly  to  any  one. 
The  Poivt  Office  is  u.sur1Iv  the  means  of  communica- 
tion, and  the  one  who  takes  out  of  the  office  is  sim- 
ply obej'inj;  direction's,  and  is  seldom  allowed  to  do 
mnre  th'sn  to  Hand  it  to  some  person  who  is  to  give  it 
to  the  "  layer  down."  Tli*"  actual  chief  workers  thus 
hold  thenUelvfB  far  in  the  barkgri^und.  I'nleifs 
caught  witii  llie  tools  in  h.-md.  e%"ldcni't'  <>u  which  to 
couvirt  is  simply  and  uit'Tly  inipossible.  Their  cor- 
respondence is  usually  in  ci^iherorbymesns  of  "per- 
«i>imls."  or  ordinary  sdvcrtiscnients  in  newspapers. 
I  thonmghly  ma.'^lered  the  cipher  and  make-up  of 
this  gang  before  going  West  for  the  first  tiuje  in  May

DONALDSON'S  FATE. 


FACTS  Ain>  8PECUI4ATIOKS  ABOUT  THE  LOST 
AEROlfA0T    AND     HIS     COMPANION — THE 
UNKNOWN  DEAD  POUND  IN  THE  SEARCH. 
C<»resp<nuienu  qf  the  Cincinnati  Enquirer. 
Drrsorr,  Aug.  20,  1877. 

Prof.  Dozuddson,  the  balloonist,  left  "friends 
and  relatives  behind  him  who  have  persisteutly  fol- 
lowed up  every  clue  that  might,  .by  any  posaibllity, 
unravel  the  mystery  surrounding  kls  last  hooza. 
These  claes  have  been  followed  the  more  persistently 
because  more  Chan  one  newspajwr  has  asserted  that 
Donaldson  escaped  disaster  by  throwing  Grimwood 
into  the  lake,  and  that  he  is  now  biding  from  Justice. 
This  assertion,  accepted  in  its  broadest  sense,  finds 
no  believers  among  aemable  men,  and  yet  Donaldson 
may  be  living  to-day.  Your  correspondent  haf  had 
reasons  and  inducements  for  following  up 
every  clue  Mid  theory  yet  given  to  tho 
pnbllc,  and  the  result,  as  a  whole,  forms  a 
chapter  of  strange  mysteries.  As  the  hunt  for  Charlie 
Boss  was  the  means  of  discovering  hundreds  of  other 
stolen  childreu,  so  has  the  strange  fate  of  poor  Don- 
aldson been  the  means  of  unearthing  many  other 
strange  things.  It  was  not,  perhaps,  the  duty  of  his 
employer  to  continue  tSe.  search  after  the  bodv  of 
Grimwood  was  foand  oirthe  Michigan  shore.  That 
seemed  to  be  proof  stifficlent  that  the  balloon  had 
struck  the  water  and  been  torn  to  pieces  by  the 
w^vves  and  the  storm,  and  that  both  adventurers  had 
suffered  the  same  fate.  The  public  were  satisfied 
with  that  theory,  except  now  and  then  a  aeusation 
dally  paper,  and  it  was  left  to  a  small  band  of  friends 
to  proEccute  further  search  and  inquiiv. 

It  was  never  believed  by  any  one  who  knew  Don- 
aldson well  that  he  would  have  tossed  the  reporter 
overboard  had  he  been  certain  of  saving  his  own 
life  by  the  act.  He  had  made  enough  a.scensions. 
and  had  every  reason  to  know  that  it  the  balloon 
bad  been  reduced  to  such  a  strait  as  that,  the  hurl- 
ing overboard  of  130  pounds  of  ballast  would 
not  hv'e  carried  him  more  than  a  mile  further. 
The  balloon  was  seen  by  the  crews  of  at  least 
five  vessels  after  the  gale  commenced.  It  was 
driving  toward  the  Michigan  shore,  and  when 
frst  seen  was  at  least  1,000  feet  above 
the  waves.  The  further  it  drove  through  the  rain 
the  heavier  it  grew,  and  wnen  last  seen  through  the 
darkness  of  ni^bi  and  the  bowling  gale  it  was  so 
close  to  the  sutrace  that  it  was  fur  an  instant  mis- 
taken for  a  ship  driving  t>efore  the  storm.  It  must 
have  struck  the  water  soon  after  tliat  Grimwood 
was  with  Donaldson  then,  for  the  sailors  heard 
shouts  from  different  voi'-eK,  Tliey  could  not  make 
out  the  fonns  of  two  human  beings,  owing  to  the 
6pray  and  the  darkneBS,  bnt  the  .snouts  were  from 
different  thro.its,  a«  they  could  make  out. 

if  Grimwood  was  saiztxl  and  thrown  overboard,  or 
was  thrown  out  by  the  concu^wion  waen  the  bttsket 
Btruck  tlie  high-rolling  waves,  the  balloon  might 
have  bounds  up  to  settle  down  again  a  mile  away, 
but  the  chancen  are  that  it  would  not.  ant  wiikd.. 
weight,  and  wave  would  be  almost  certain  to  bold^f 
down.  Both  were  good  swimmers,  and  Donaldson 
was  cool  and  clear-headed,  and  possessed  of  great 
presence  of  mind.  ReaUzing  that  the  storm  would 
prove  toO  much  for  the  balloon,  and  that  they  must 
face  the  new  dancer,  ho  'would  have  coolly  made 
ready.  The  fact  that  he  did  make  ready  was  proved 
when  Grimwood's  hody  was  found  in  a  half-nude 
condition.  Both  had  made  ready  for  a  battle  with 
the  waves,  and  were  as  ready  as  they  could  be 
when  the  moment  came.  The  balloon  would  float. 
Silk  cordage  and  the  lightest  of  woods  must  not 
only  float,  but  act  as  a  buoy  fnr  considerable  weight. 
An  empty  flour  barrel  has  kept  a  sailor  afloat  through 
■J-i  hours  of  fierce  storm.  Balloon  and  basket  woidd 
hoid  up  five  times  as  much  weight.  Driving  across 
the  troubled  lake  through  the  black  darkness  and  the 
howUng  gale,  sometimes  on  the  crest  of  a  great  wave 
and  again  buried  under  the  foam,  wouldni  Donald- 
son, in  the  prime  of  life,  in  the  best  of  health,  and 
an  athlete  Jf  remarkable  muscle,  be  more  c*>rtaiu  of^ 
seeing  the  sun  rise  from  the  pineries  of  Michicati' 
than  his  companion,  young  in  years,  not  over  strongs 
and  laboring  under  far  more  fear  and  excitement  of 
mindf  If  Grimwood  held  on  till  day  broke  again  he 
did  not  live  to  see  ni:;ht  come.  When  he  lei  go  his 
hold  aud  disappeared  forever  from  sight  of  his  com- 
panion, the  currents  seiied  his  bodj-.  carried  it  her*; 
and  there  for  diiys.  and  finally  tossed  It  upon  the 
sands  of  the  lonely  shore  where  the  mail-carrier 
found  it. 

And  of  Donaldson  ?  The  onlv  division  of  opinion 
among  his  fricnils  occurs  right  here.  There  are  two 
the-irie-,  and  there  are  strong  proofs  to  back  up 
each  one.  The  first  tbtory  is  the  one  thus  far  ad- 
vanced in  my  letter.  Let  me  follow  it  to  th«  end. 
When  morning  aime  Grimwood.  worn  out  -and  ex- 
hausted, gave  uu  the  struggle.  Donaldson  had  plenty 
of  ]iie  leit  yet.  out  he  looked  around  him  when  the 
sun  came  up.  and  saw  that  his  only  hope  of  rescue 
w&A  from  some  passing  vessel.  He  was  stil  I  driv- 
ing tiiu«r(l  the  -Michigan  shore,  but  slowly,  and 
he  could  not  hope  to  hold  out  till  tho  cur- 
r  ills  binded  hlra  on  the  beach.  The  lake 
was  still  trouftled  next  day,  fend  vessels  might 
liave  passed  wiiiiiu  twomlies  of  the  floating  balloon 
and  its  human  burden  without  suspectim;  its  pres- 
ence. A  dozen  vessels  did  cross  that  trackless  waste 
that  day.  goiug  and  coming,  and  the  eager  eyes  of  the 
lobt  balloonist  no  doubt  sighted  more  than  one  dis- 
tant sail.  A  man  .is  powerful  as  Donaldson  would 
float  ail  night  and  all  day.  and  |H>rhaps  live  to  see  a 
second  sunrise.  By  that  time  want  of  food  »nd  the 
cltilly  water  would  exhaust  him.  A  body  supp«>sed 
to  be  his  wasseen  in  the  lake  near  Kacine ;  another 
was  seen  about  40  miles  off  Chicago  Uurbor;  another 
was  seen  near  South  Haven,  tangled  In  a  mass  of  cord- 
age ;  a  mass  of  cordage,  •  upposed  to  be  the  wreck  of  his 
tmlloon,  was  seen  otf  Port  Sheldon.  In  each  instance 
masters  of  vessels  had  some  excuse  for  not  further 
investigatins,  but  it  seems  pro^a^le  that  at  least 
one  of  tiiem  saw  all  that  was  left  of  Donaldson.  The 
first  theory-,  then,  is  finished.  Donaldson  and  Grim- 
wood both  met  the  siune  fate.  The  reporter's  body 
was  thrown  upon  the  sands,  that  of  the  aeronaut  was 
carried  here  and  there  by  wind  and  wave  till  nothing 
WKH  left.  T  jike  Michigan  is  a  mighty  body  of  water. 
The  remains  of  a  balloon  might  fioat  about  for 
nxnths  and  not  tte  seHu  at  all;  and.  if  r>e»^n,  they 
would  not  be  particularly  noticed  among  the  d^b'fls 
always  to  be  encoimterecl. 

Now  for  the  second  theory.  It  is  supposed  that 
the  balloon  struck  the  lake  in  that  howling  gale,  and 
that  the  shock  threw  Grimwood  out  of  the  baskut. 
That  would  certai::ly  have  been  the  result  had  he 
not  been  well  prepared  for  the  shock.  liightened  of 
bis  weight,  the  balloon  leaped  up  into  the  arms  of  the 
gale,  and  before  midnight  it  was  flying  along  the  east- 
em  shore.  From  the  general  direction  of  the  wind 
and  the  locality  where  Grimwood's  body  was  found. 
one  would  guess- that  the  balloon  struck  Michigan 
nearjthe  moutht  of  White  River,  between  Muskegon 
and  Clay  Bank.  There  is  almost  positive  proof  that 
it  did.  In  January  following  some  lumbermen  dih- 
covered  a  skelt  tmi  entangled  in  the  limbs  of  a  tree, 
and  nearby  was  the  wrorkof  what  they  believed  to  l-e 
a  balloon's  basket  or  car.  Three  mouths  later,  30 
miles  away,  but  in  the  same  direction,  a  lot  of 
cordage  was  found  entangled  in  the  trees.  It 
was  certainly  balloon  cordage,  and  If  not  from 
Donajison"s  balkKm.  what  ftther  aeronaut  is  mis-s- 
ing f  Again,  ou  seciion  -5.  Houghton  County,  some 
hunters  and  trappers  from  Ljin^in™  came  i^cross  a 
skeleton  in  the  woods.  Time,  and  the  teeth  of  wild 
animals,  had  removed  all  the  flesh,  but  there  were 
l(»ck5  of  hair,  remains  of  clothing,  aud  jiortionsof  the 
boots  left  to  make  the  discoverers  feel  certain  that 
they  had  found  the  remains  of  the  uufortunat©  Don. 
aldsitn.  Again,  on  section  30,  Mauist<^  County, 
and  30  or  40  miles  nearer  the  lake,  jwrtions  of  a 
human  bodv  were  found.  This  last  discovery 
WHS  only  sLx  weeks  after  the  fatal  ascension, 
and  the  body  was  closely  viewed,  .but  left  where 
the  hunters  found  it.  The  descriptii'd  of  the  clothiug. 
color  of  hair,  heieht,  &c..  tallied  exactly  with  a  de- 
scription of  Donaldson.  Tlien,  once  more,  aud  only 
two  mouths  ago,  land-lookers  traveling  near  the 
head  of  Thunder  River,  found  ropes  in  the  trees,  a 
brandy-flask  from  which  the  willow-work  had  almost 
rotted  away,  and  a  bundle  of  bones  which  had  once 
belonged  to  some  human  being.  • 

All  these  reports  liave  been  traced  up  and  found  to 
be  faei!?i.  That  is.  men  have  truthfully  stated  what 
they  sa^  There  is  no  doubt  of  the  death  of  Donald- 
son. bufTTsn't  it  strange  that  so  many  other  mysteries 
.•should  have  been  developed  while  seeking  to  develop 
this  one  ? 


DESTRUCTIVE  STORM  IN  MAINE. 
Fryebtro,  Me-,  Aug.  2tJ.-T-A  severe  rain- 
storm, with  wind  from  the  south-we.st,  pre-

The  locks  of  the  dam  on  Ballard  Stream  have 
been  swept  out.  Thousands  of  logs  are  let 
i^e  into  the  river.  The  damage  to  the  mill 
amounts  to  several  thousand  dollars.  Wa.sh-outs 
on  the  railroad  are  reported  near  Glen  Station 
in  Hartlett.  part  of  tho  trestle  being  caiTiaf^

other  changes  being  an  increase  of  $1,003,300

Tho  'Money  market  throughout  the  week, 
while  generally  characterized  by  ease,  exhibited 
rather  a  hardening  tendency,  but  this  was  very 
natural,  in  view  of  the  demand  incidental  to 
the  sea.son  and  that  created  by  the  active  stock 
Dpecolation.  Judging  from  present  indications, 
it  seems  reasonable  to  conclude  that  anything 
like  excessive  stringency  in  the  Money  market  in 
the  near  future  is  not  to  be  apprehended.  High 
rates  will,  of  coxirse,  prevail  at  intervals,  but 
there  are  good  grounds  for  the  belief  that  the 
Fall  movement  of  the  crops  will  be  effected 
without  occasioning  any  serious  disturbance  in 
the  monetary  situation.  The  discount  market 
was  moro  active,  with  41*2^7  ^  cent,  as  the 
ruling  rates  for  prime  commercial  paper,  ac- 
cording to.  date  of  maturity. 

Tho  foreign  advices  reported  a  firm  market  at 
London  for  British  consols  and  American  secu- 
rities. The  statement  of  the  Bank  of  England 
for  the  week  ending  Wednesday  last  showed  a 
loss  of  £2S4,000  in  specie,  and,  since  then 
£111,000  has  been  withdrawn  on  balance.  The 
mioimiuurata  of  discount  remains  unchanged  at 
2  *>■  cent. 

The  Sterling  Exchange  market  was  weak  on  a 
very  limited  demand,  and  rates  declined  to  a 
point  ailmitting  the  importation  of  Gold  from 
abroad. 

Tho  Gold  market  was  weakened  by  the  low 
rates  for  exchange,  and,  the  prospective  heavy 
sliipments  from  the  other  side,  and  the  price 
declined  to  lO^'g,  the  lowest  point  touched 
rince  June  18G2,  On  Gold  loans  the  rates 
were  1  ^  cent,  for  carrying,  and  ranged  from 
flat  to  3  **  cent,  for  borrowing. 

The  Government  bond  market  was  weak  and 
lovrer,  the  decline  ranging  from  igtolia  1? 
cent.  The  market  was  affected  chiefly  by  the 
fall  in  Gold,  the  selling  movement  having  been 
very  moderate.  The  lowest  quotations  were 
generally  current  at  the  close.  The  business  in 
railroad  mortgages  was  on  a  larger  scale  than 
for  some  time  past,  the  sharp  advance  in  the 
share  list  and  the  favorable  accounts  in  regard  to 
the  crops,  as  well  as  the  increased  earnings  re- 
ported by  many  of  the  Western  roads,  having 
stimulated  the  demand  for  investment  Some 
large  ptirehases  *ere  made,  and  the  market  ex- 
hibited great  strength,  nearly  the  entire  list 
•haring  in  the  improvepjent.  The  advance 
ranged  from  1  to  8  IP'  cent.,  with  the  greatest 
rise  and  activity  in  Chicago  and  North-western, 
St.  Patil,  Toledo  and  Wabash,  and  Ohio  and 
Mississippi.  State  bonds  were  dtiU,  and  pre- 
sented no  feature  worthy  of  comment. 

The  share  speculation  was  characterized  by 
activity  and  buoyancy,  and,  under  free  pur- 
chases, the  entire  list  of  active  stocks  recorded 
an  advance,  which  was  fairly  well  maintained 
to  the  close.  The  business  was  well  distributed, 
and  it  was  noticeable  that  a  brisk  demand  ob- 
tained for  many  of  the  low-priced  stocks,  which 
have  for  s  long  time  lain  neglected.  Outside

Mr.  T.  D.   KELLOGG'S  SYSTE3I. 

I  take  great  plMeore  in  presentJnjt  the  ittleBient.of 
Hon.  E.  A.  Sheldon,  becatise  it  waa  given  over  nine  yeart^ 
^0,  before  I  had  redaded  biy  system  to  iu  present  aclen- 
tine  aocarfl«y  wad  exkctitade  of  detMl,  and  because  ho  hat 
long  been  regarded  by  manr  as  standing  at  the  head.of 
educational  matters  fn  the  United  States.  The  Training 
School  for  Teucberft  and  the  public  sciiool  system  of  0»- 
■wego.  which  he  waa  a  prime  instrument  in  founding  and 
building  up,  have  been  copied  In  their  principal  features 
by  both  the  normal  and  public  schools  of  the  principal 
States  and  cities  of  the  Union.  The  Training  School  for 
Teachers.  originallvKtartcdforthe  sole  purpose  of  training 
teoohers  to  carry  out  the  then  proposed  new  system  of 
Mr.  Sheldon  and  others  in  the  public  schools  of  Oswego, 
has  since  been  taken  under  the  wing  of  the  State  and 
made  a  State  institution,  the  State  Normal  School  at 
Albany  remodeled  on  the  same  plan,  and  eight  additional 
State  normal  schools,  to  cany  out  the  Oswego  system, 
founded  byspetdal  act  of  our  State  Legislature.  "■ 

The  statement  of  Mr.  Sheldon  has  been  indorsed,  after 
a  careful  examination  of  my  plan,  by  tJie  entire  faculty 
of  the  celebrated  TrmlninK  Schco!  for  Teachers  above  re- 
ferred to— appended  to  ifr.  Sheldon's  statement  below. 

Opweoo,  Jan-  13.  186a 
This  Is  to  certify  that  I  have  examined  with  some  cai« 
the  system  of  representing  the  sonnds  of  the  language 
by  phonetic  characters,  as  presented  by  Mr.  T.  D.  Kel- 
logg, and  I  believe  Mr.  Eellogg's  notation  to  be  a  simple, 
philosophic,  and  correct  representation  of  these  sotinds, 
applicable  alike  to  all  languages.  It  overcomes  many 
objections  brought  against  the  somewhat  Imperfect 
alphabets  trtUch  have  hitherto  been  preeented.  I  am 
confident  children  can  be  taught  to  read  and  spell  by  this 
plan  with  far  more  ease  than  by  tho  commoa  methods, 
and  with  great  Raving  of  time.  I  hare  no  hesitation  In 
recommending  this  plan  to  the  attention  of  teachers 
and  school  officers.    Respectfully, 

E.  A.  SHELDON, 
Superintendent  of  Oswego  Public  and  the  State  Nor-

Abont  this  time  Tammany  Hall  begins  the 
Irork  of  raisiiig  money  for  the  Fall  campaign.  The 
FisAsce  Committee  of  that  beneficent  instttntion 
hju  the  matter  in  charge ;  hut  its  principal  operation! 
are  performed  indirectly  and  throngh  variona  ol&cial 
and  non-official  agencies.  The  mo«t  prodnctire  «f  all 
these  agencies,  the  one  which  tnziu  in  most  money 
and  operates  to  secnre  most  votea,  isthe  Corporation 
Attorney's  ofOce.  It  ia  prealdi^  over  by  Mr. 
William  Boyd  at  a  salary'  -«f  seTeral  thon- 
sand  doUara.  &ir.  Boyd  la  a  eomparatively 
young  man.  like  his  intimate  friend  Mr.  Alder- 
man Parroy ;  and,  alao  like  that  individnal,  is  de- 
tested by  the  majority  of  hia  own  party.  Both  men 
owe  their  positions  entirely  to  the  favor  of  Mr.  John 
Kelly,  and,  knowing  that  ther  have  nothing  to  sus- 
tain them  hat  his  power,  they  make  the  moat  serrice- 
able  tools  that  Mr.  Kelly  could  have.  The  Corpora- 
tion Attorney's  office  la  charged  with  the  prosectrtion 
of  all  cases  of  violation  of  Manteipal  ordinances. 
The  line  of  prosecutions  which  is  worked  with  such 
vigor  for  electioneering  purposes  is  that  relating  to 
"obstructions."  A  sign  projecting  over  12  inches 
from  the  house  is  an  "  obstruction  ;"  any- 
thing placed  on  the  sidewalk  or  left  in  the  road- 
way— as  a  stand  or  a  wagon — is  an  "  ob- 
struction, "  subjecting  the  person  responsible  for  it 
to  a  fine  and  the  costs  of  the  action.  It  is  the  duty 
of  erery  patroloian  to  report  at  the  statton-honse  all 
tlie  obstructions  he  has  seen  on  his  post  whenever 
he  comes  oiT  duty ;  each  precinct  has  also  attached 
to  it  an  officer  whose  special  dnty  it  is  to  look  oat 
for  obstmetions  and  to  report  them.  All  the  re- 
ports are  entered  upon  a  book  kept  for  that  purpose. 
Thus  It  may  hjippen  that  the  same  obstruction  will 
be  reported  by  three  different  persons  in  one  day, 
viz..  the  patrolman  who  goea  on  duty  in  the  morning, 
the  one  who  goes  on  duty  in  the  afternoon",  and  the 
rcgxUar  '*  obstruction "  officer.  Something  in  ex- 
ce!^.s  of  lOO  are  r-eported  in  the  aggregate  from  all  the 
Police  precincts  of  the  City  every  dav.  The  reports 
are  sent  down  to  the  Corporation  Attorney's  office 
daily ;  and.  in  addition  to  these,  complaints  of  ob- 
structions are  received  at  that  office  from  private 
parties,  makine  in  nil  a  very  formidable  daily 
list  at  the  quietiest  times.  To  the  persons  com- 
plained against,  a  '^notice  paper'  is  sent,  requiring 
them  to  appear  in  one  oC  the  district  civil  courts  to 
answer  for  the  offense  complained  of.  and  warning 
them  th.1t  on  failure  to  appear  judgment  for  $5  or 
$10.  with  the  "costs  of  action."  will  be  entered 
against  them.  From  now  antil  election  time  comes 
tlie  political  working  of  the  legal  machine. 

The  prosecutions  are  worked  for  two  purposes — 
first,  toTaise  money  for  the  Tammany  Finance  Com- 
mittee; second,  to  worry  a  person  who  is  politically 
troublesome  in  his  district  into  tractability.  A  regu- 
lar plan  of  campaign  is  laid  out  on  the  basis  of  As- 
pemblv  districts.  If  it  be  decided  to  be^  with  the 
First  Assembly  District  all  the  persons  n\  this  terri- 
tor\- who  can  be  reached  either  through  the  regular 
T'ofice  complaints  or  throneh  private  complaints 
from  the  proper  men.  are  served  with  notice  papers. 
A  genrral  raid,  in  fact,  is  nsade  on  the  whole  body  of 
Ptorekeeners  and  others  in  the  district,  care,  of 
Course,  neine  taken  not  to  trouble  any  who  are 
kpown  to  be  of  the  right  stripe.  At  the 
F-irne  time  the  Tammany  Hall  General  Commit- 
tee men  of  the  district  are  notified  that  the 
pjtpers  have  been  sent  ont.  There  is  one 
rommiitee  member  to  each  election  district 
who  has  ch-vge  of  its  political  worWng  and  is  gen- 
erHlly  responsible  for  it.  No  sooner  have  the  pabera 
been' seo'ed  in  his  territory  than  a  local  "worker*' 
dr«'p8  in  rasually  on  the  unfortunate  storekeeper 
who  has  received  one  and  converses  with  him,  if  he 
j.<  new  to  the  business,  about  the  obstruction  notice. 
The  worker  expresses  Rympathy  for  tho  storekeeper, 
perhaps,  but  assures  him  tiiat  that  is  the  way  liiey 
work  things  in  the  Corporation  Attorney  s  office,  and 
that  there  Is  no  use  in  flghtinjr  against  it.  because  he 
15  sure  to  get  the  worst  of  it  if  he  jcoes  to  coxirt.  The 
worker,  however,  has  a  way  out,  and  tells  the  store- 
keei>er  to  go  to  the  district  committee  man.  The 
etorekeeper  goes  to  him  in  much  distress.  The  local 
politician  debat«  a  little,  thinks  he  can  get  it  settled. 
and  walks  the  victim  down  to  Mr.  Corporation  At- 
tomev  Boyd's  office,  where  the  case  is  settled  pos- 
sibly'for  h'^  •^.  or  possibly  for  nothing  at  all :  in 
either  event,  the  storekeeper  Is  made  to  understand 
that  the  favor  of  his  vote  will  be  required  at  the 
l>r('per  time,  failing  which  he  had  better  look  ont  for 
liiniself.  Meantime,  he  hears  no  more  about  the 
'■  obstruction. ■'  This  process  is  gone  through  with 
where  it  is  thought  that  a  vote,  or  perhaps  two  or 
three,  may  be  secured ;  but  if  money  bo  sought  the 
T'-immittee  member  will  report  to  the  Attorney's 
office  what  he  thinks  the  man  is  worth  ;  and  any  sum 
from  $.^  to  $17  50  on  each  notice  may  be  squeezed  out 
of  him.  according  to  rircumstanceo.  The  law  on  the 
puf'ject  is  so  loose  t^at  Jt  permits  a  person  offend- 
ing against  it  to  bo  worried  with  any  number  of  sum- 
monses for  the  same  obstruction,  and  even  when  he 
ba.s  removed  it  be  has  no  aecurity  forsome  consider- 
ahle  time,  against  the  rapacity  of  the  office,  fnr  the 
Corporation  Attorney's  men  are  always  ready  to 
swear  that  "  at  the  time  the  complaint  was  made  " 
Buch  an  obstruction  existed.  If  it  be  desired  to  worry 
a  man  who  is  ti  oublesome,  it  In  done  by  the  very  sim- 
ple process  of  showering  notices  upon  him.  day  after 
dav.  until  he  come*  t'>  terms,  wid  makes  it  ail  right 
with  the  district  commitit^e  member.  This  is  nowbe- 
ing  done  in  onp  of  the  down-town  Assembly  districts 
t*^'  persons  who  are  known  to  be  anti-Tammany  men. 
Jlrmeyisalso  obtained  from  storekeepers  who  can 
afford  to  pay.  for  "  protection."  The  representative 
of  the  finance  committee  calls  upon  him  and  intimates 
that  he  must  come  down  with  $2.^  or  $50.  or  he  will 
hear  from  the  City  .-Vttomey"*  office.  It  would  be 
easr  to  make  quite  a  long  Hrt  of  tradesmen  who  an- 
nually contribute  some  such  sum  to  the  Tazmnany 
fund,  in  order  to  avoid  prosecution. 

"Tlie  extent  to  which  the  business  is  carried  may  be 
inferred  from  the  fact  that  from  now  tiU  election 
time  the  office  sends  out  an  average  of  l,:iO0  notices 
per  month,  and  may  run  it  up  to  1.500.  Three  sub- 
ptena-  servers  are  kept  busy  at  the  work.  The  least 
that  a  person  not  speiially  favored  can  settle  for  is 
.$7  50 :  he  may  be  mulcted  $17  50.  and  he  ™av  be 
summoned  a  dozen  times  for  the  same  offense.  Tlie 
Bwramouses  are  usually  directed  to  a  District 
i'ourt.  where  the  JuoRe  understands  what  is 
wanted  and  does  it.  Nearly  all  the  obstruction 
business  used  to  be  done  with  that  e:ttraordinary  le- 
gal light  Jndge  "Tim'  Campbell.  aL<o  with  that 
other  luminary,  Jndge  Clancy  :  but  lately  not  a 
little  of  it  has  been  taken  before  Judee  Dinkel. 
which  cau.'*es  some  surprise.  The  "obstruction" 
c.ises  come  up  in  batches  of  a  hundred  or  so.  and  the 
Judge,  supposing  him  to  be  Campbell,  takes  the. 
papers,  and.  running  them  over  as  rapidly  as  possi- 
ble, simply  says  :  "  Judgments— judgment — ^judg- 
ment.' while  the  Clerk  enters  them  as  fast  as  he  can. 
Very  rarely  is  there  any  pause  to  hear  what  some  de- 
fendant, who  has  taken  the  trouble  to  come  to 
coiirt.  may  have  to  offer  in  hia  defense, 
and  more  rarely  still  does  he  gain  anything 
bv  offering  a  defense.  The  customary  way 
with  storekeepers  who  know  what  a  notice  means  is 
to  "  come  down  "  as  soon  as  they  get  their  papers. 
Ail  the  money  recovered  on  these  judgments  ia 
paid — not  into  "court,  as  might  naturally  be  supposed 
—but  at  the  O>rporation  Attorneys  office,  where  a 
certain  Mr.  Marshal  Hanbniy  receives  it.  Judge 
Parker  attempted  to  stop  this  and  have  the  money 
paid  into  court,  but  he  aid  not  succeed.  If  a  man 
refuses  to  pay  after  judgment  has  been  entered 
acainet  him  his  goods  areseiwd  on  execution.  Thus 
It  will  be  seen  that  outside  of  the  Corporation  Attor- 
nev's  office  there  is  al»solutely  no  means  of  ascertain- 
ing how  much  money  is  received  for  violations  of 
imiinances.  Their  returns  are  conclusive  evidence 
on  the  point,  and  on  these  there  is  no  check  whatever. 
The  necessity  of  having  some  man  like  Boyd  as  Corpo- 
ration Attorney  is  apparent.  It  is  common  with  him 
Xp  replv  to  some  poor  grocery  keeper  or  other  unfor- 
tunate who  is  begging  to  be  let  off  lightly:  "We 
cannot  help  it ;  you  have  violated  the  law.  The  City's 
j-evenue  must  be  protected:  see  the  amount  this 
office  turns  in  monthly  to  the  City."  It  was  stated 
how  many  notices  were  served  by  the  office  mothly — 
some  1.200  or  more.  Supposing  these  to^be  calcu- 
lated at  the  very  low  figure  of  $5  each,  here  is  $6,000 
for  the  month.  Mr.  Boyd  has  never,  except  for  the 
first  month  he  took  office,  made  a  return  of  as  many 
hundreds  for  that  period.  Usually  he  returns  be- 
tween $300  and  $400.  In  view  of  these  facts,  it  is 
not  difficult  to  understand  why  the  Corporation  At- 
torney's office  is  regarded  as  the  mainstay  of  the 
Tammany  Finance  Committee.  It  raises  money, 
makes  votes,  and  worries  the  enemy  to  an  amount 
«nd  degree  far  beyond  that  of  any  other  agency  at 
the  command  of  Tammany  HalL

SUNDAY  AT  CONEY  ISLAND. 


SCENES  ALONO  TBK  BEACH— A  GREAT  CBO-Wp 
OP  VISITOES— TH^  GRAND  AND  POSITIVE- 
LY* SACRED  CONCERT. 

Yesterday  wm  a  day  partially  dedicated  to  reli- 
gious observances  at  Coney  Island,  Mr.  Onfnlla  and  his 
Seventh  Regiment  Band  being  on  hand  at  the  eastern 
end  of  the  island,  to  conclude  the  day's  exercises 
with  a  grand  and  positively  sacred  concert,  to 
be  composed  of  such  fayorite  religious  melodies 
aa  "^ohkr^'the  Port,"  "The  Ninety  and  Nine." 
and  several  of  Mendelssohn's-  beautiful  produc- 
tiona.  Many  thousands  of  heat-worn  New- 
Yorkert,  finding  in  this  sacred  concert  jnit  the 
sort  of  religious  stimulant  their  minds  demanded 
after  the  week's  toil,  went  down  to  the  Island  to  en- 
joy the  tunes  of  praise.  Very  many  of  them,  too,  ar- 
rived at  the  island  at  a  much  earlier  hour  than  that 
announced  for  the  concert,  that  they  might,  by  ap- 
propriate bathing  and  purifying,  and  other  such 
proper  pastimes  aa  are  to  be  found  on  Coney  Island, 
prepare  themselves  for  the  religious  feast  In  store. 

On*  of  the  first  drawbacks  to  the  true  moral  and 
spiritual  tone  of  the  day's  exercises  was  met  almost 
at  landing  by  those  who  found  themselves  on  the 
western  end  of  the  island.  It  was  the  long  line  of 
worldly  and  sinful  amusements  and  occupations  pre- 
pared for  the  unwary,  which  began  at  the  landing 
and  reached  almost  up  to  the  Ocean  House.  Tlie 
first  of  these,  an  inn«K<ent  enough  one  on  secular 
days,  was  the  cane-seller,  a  somewhat  remarkable 
specimen  of  humanology,  the  right  leg  and  the  rirht 
eye  being  missing.  This  merchant,  who  did  a  thriv- 
ing business  all  day,  seemed  much  averse  to  being 
stared  at  on  account  of  his  infirmities,  and  an- 
nounced, at  short  intervals,  "You  needn't  look  at 
me  :  I'm  soliiL  Fm  not  handsome,  but  I'm  nlc«,  aud 
it's  better  to  be  nice  than  handsome." 

The  next  snare  set  by  the  wicked,  as  the  crowd 
moved  up  the  beach,  was  the  machine  that  would 
"  test  the  amount  of  electricty  in  any  man.  woman, 
or  child,  without  injury,  but  urith  positive  benefit,  for 
the  very  small  sum  of  half  a  dime."  Then  came  the 
row  of  *22  solemn-faced  little  donkeys,  with  cunning 
little  saddles,  traps  set  especially  for  the  children. 
These  were  followed  by  the  Punch  and  Judy  men. 
the  prize  package  men.  the  solid  told  jewelry  man. 
the  ^andy  and  fruit  stands,  and  tMe  shovel  and  pail 
men  ;  and  at  the  extreme  end  of  the  line  wn.s  a  soli- 
tary milk  wagon  from  Brooklyn,  retailing  ice  cold 
milk  at  o  cents  a  glafs.  These  busy  money-neekers 
m%de  an  exceedinely  lively  scene  along  the  beach,  but 
not  such  a  one  as  might  be  wished  to  line  the  ap- 
proach to  grand  and  positively  sacred  concert. 

If  the  island  iiad  l>een  balanced  oh  a  stick,  yester- 
day, the  two  ends  would  have  been  pretty  nearly  of 
a  weight.  If  there  were  more  visitors  at  one  end 
than  at  the  other,  the  fact  was  indiscernible  with  th- 
naited  eye.  At  both  ends  the  hotels  and  pavilions 
were  crowded  beyond  all  possibility  of  comfort ;  tht> 
beer  tables  were  surroundeil  by  such  persons  as  are 
yet  unaffected  by  the  Murphy  movement;  the  beach. 
for  a  half  mile  or  more  at  each  end,  was  almost  Im- 

gaRsablf  for  the  crowds,  and  the  surf  was  full  of 
appy  bathers,  all  day  long.  From  the  appearance 
of  the  water,  every  visitor  on  the  island  must  have 
bathed  at  leant  three  times,  with  a  fair  sprinkling 
reaching  the  fourth.  An  old  Coney  Islander,  stami- 
ing  on  the  be&_'h  looking  at  the  crowds  of  bathers, 
when  asked  bow  many  he  thought  were  in  the  surf, 
replied,  without  any  hesitation.  "Millions,  Sir;  mil- 
lions." Though  this  estimate  may  pos»ibly  be  f*ome- 
what  exaggerated,  stiU  the  number  was  beyond  all 
counting,  and  after  the  sun  had  set  aud  the  darkness 
had  begun  to  thicken,  the  water  was  still  alive  with 
iMithers. 

A  lar^e  school  of  porpoises  came  in  sight  early  in 
the  afternoon,  very  close  to  the  shore,  much  to  the 
delight  of  the  bathers,  many  of  whom  easily  swam  out 
to  their  vicinity.  The  water  was  full  too.  of  minute 
jelly  fish.  that,  washed  upon  the  shore  by  the  waves. 
sparkled  like  ro  many  crystals  in  the  sun.  The  set- 
ting sun  was  just  gUding  the  fioating  clouds,  and 
sending  Its  prismatic  ravs  through  the  stained-glas<^ 
windows  of  the  little  band  stand  on  the  upper 
end  of  the  island,  when  the  sacred  concert  wa.^ 
begun.  After  liBtening  for  an  hour  or  two  to  the  de- 
lightful music  tlie  I'TOwd  pressed  toward  the  landings 
and  depots,  and  in  an  hour  more  the  island  was  com- 
paratively deserted.  So  great  was  the  crush,  how- 
ever, that  some  difficulty  was  experienced  in  getting 
all  the  visitors  home.  Trains  on  the  Manhattan  Rail- 
way were'  delaycKt  and  that  company  had  to  press 
the'  Harlem  >M>at  Sylvan  Dell  Into  their  service  to 
carry  several  hundred  of  their  passengers  to  this  City. 


THE  FIRE  DEFARTMENT. 


SEA  CLIFF  CAMP-MEETING. 

THE  SECOND  OP  THE  SEASON — A  LARGE  AT- 
TENDANCE— MRS.  VAN  COTT  AGAIN  IN 
THE  PULPIT — ORDER  OP  EXERCISES. 
The  second  camp-meeting  of  the  season  at 
Sea  Cliif,  under  the  leadership  of  that  untiring  re- 
vivalist, Mrs.  Van  Cott,  was  opened  yesterday  under 
circumstances  justifying  the  most  sanguine  expecta- 
tions of  success.  Exclusive  of  those  who  are  pasalng 
the  Summer  months  at  this  charming  resort,  there 
were  on  the  grounds  yesterday  at  least  1,000  per- 
sons, many  of  whom  went  thither  in  wagons  from 
the  surrounding  hamleta  and  farmstea*ls.  New- 
Yorkers  and  Brooklynites  were  also  there  In  large 
numbers,  and  even  the  towns  of  "Westchester  were 
not  without  representation.  The  number  who  ar- 
rived on  Saturday  evening,  taxing  as  It  did  the  ac- 
commodation of  the  hotel  to  its  utmost,  was  greatly 
augmented  by  the  morning's  arrivals  on  the  steam- 
boat Seawanhaka  and  the  trains  of  the  Long  Island 
Railroad.  Those  who  were  so  unfortunate  as  to 
■taSe^^he  trains,  which  left  them  at  the  pleasant 
station  of  Glen  Head,  near  Ixtcust  Valley,  were  com- 
pelled to  walk  to  the  encampment,  a  distance  of  two 
miles  and  a  half,  owing  to  the  non-attendance  of  the 
Stages  at  the  depot.  Comparatively  few  of  the  tents 
are  as  vet  occupied.  The  pretty  cottages,  however, 
which  dot  the  picturesque  hillsides  by  the  shore  and 
extend  inland  in  the  midst  of  shady  grovea  and 
pleasant  meadowland.  are  all  filled.  So,  too, 
are  the  boarding-houses,  which  provide  accom- 
modation for  transient  visitors  to  the  cliff. 
Mrs.    Van     Cott     has     entirely     recovered     from 

her  recent  indisposition,  which  deprived  the  late 
i<ing  Sing  Camp-meeting  of  her  active  participation. 
Her  face  wears  the  old  healthy  expressfon.  her  step 
retains  Its  elasticity,  but  her  supremely  powerful 
voice  was  yesterday  perceptibly  marred  by  hoarse- 
ness. Six  mcetbiKS  in  all  were  held  during  the  day, 
the  first  being  at  0  A.  M.,  the  second  at  10:30,  the 
third  (the  children's  service)  at  1  P.  M.,  the 
fourth  at  2  P.  M.,  the  fifth  at  6  P.  M.. 
and  the  closing  service  at  7  P.  M.  The  same 
programme  will  be  adhered  to  during  the 
seven  remaining  days  of  the  encampment.  At  the 
10:30  service,  which  was  held  in  the  Tabernacle,  and 
was  attended  by  at  least  1,200  persons,  Mrs.  Van 
Cott  preached  from  the  text.  "  Ye  are  my  witnesses." 
Her  oisconrKe.  or  rather  exhortation,  was  eloquent, 
and  her  peculiar  method  of  appealing  to  sinners  irre- 
sistible. The  true  witnesses  of  God  were,  to  her 
way  of  thinking,  those  who  utterly  forsake  the  follies 
and  foibles  of  earth  for  things  eternal.  She  Implored 
her  hearers  to  leave  the  world  and  its 
sinful  ways  for  the  sake  of  being  true  and 
earnest  witnesses  of  God.  their  supreme  Master. 
Salvation  would  never  come  from  mere  professions 
of  religion,  but  from  an  avoidance  of  all  that  Is  sin- 
ful. With  a  vain  profession  of  relieion  Heaveu's 
gate  could  not  be  opened.  To  be  reugious,  in  the 
strict  sense  of  the  term,  does  not  necessitate  gloom 
and  sombreness.  The  smile  of  God's  true  witnesses 
is  Invariably  bright,  cheerful,  and  welcoming, 
and  their  utterances  always  of  the  pleas- 
antest.  Nor  Is  excellence  in  oratory  neces- 
sary in  spreadiuK  God's  holy  truths.  Some  people 
who  can  talk  very  glibly  of  their  business  Mf(urs 
profess  not  to  be  able  to  say  a  word  forthe  Lord,  who 
said.  "  He  that  confesseth  Me  before  men,  him  shall  I 
confess  before  my  Father  in  Heaven."  The  man  who 
is  filled  with  the  spirit  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  has 
partaken  of  the  sanctifying  power,  can  lead  others  by 
the  sole  force  of  that  power.  The  merely  professed 
Christian  is  an  ear  without  com.  -The  preacher  trusted 
that  the  Lord  would  fill  the  empty  ears  with  corn. 
In  conclusion,  Mrs.  Van  Cott  fervently  called  down 
a  blessing  on  the  mothers  of  the  encampment,  that 
they  might  succeed,  with  the  help  of  grace  from  on 
high,  to  lead  their  families  to  holy  attainments.  At 
the  close  of  the  meeting  she  invited  the  clergymen 
preeent  to  mc»et  her  at  the  nulpit,  but  few  responded. 
In  fact,  the  ministers  manifested  snrpriung 
apathy.  It  was  with  no  little  difficulty  that 
one  conld  be  fotmd  to  preach  at  the  evening 
service,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  several  were 
present  on  the  grounds.  It  is  only  just  to  mention, 
however,  that  Rev.  Mr.  Olmstead.  an  occupant  of 
one  of  the  cottages,  exerted  himself  assiduously  In 
sharing  the  labors  of  the  day  with  the  lady.  The 
children's  meeting  was  opened  at  1  P.  M.,  and  ter- 
minated immediately  before  the  afternoon  service, 
when  Mrs.  Van  Cott  again  preached,  selecting  her 
textfrom  St.  Mark  viii..  36:  "For  what  shall  it  profit 
a  man  if  he  shall  gain  the  whole  world  and  lose  his 
own  souL"  In  response  to  an  invitation  to  approach 
the  pulpit  that  they  might  be  praved  for.  groups  of 
ponUents — men,  women,  and  children — knelt  while 
other  brethren  offered  up  fervent  supplicationa  in 
their  behalf.  The  two  services  held  in  the  evening 
were  similar  in  character  to  those  held  in  the  day- 
tinia.

WOSK  OF  KELLY'S  COMMISSIONERS, 

EfTBCT  or  THE  EECENT  REU0VAL8  ON  THK 
DISCIPLINE  OP  THE  FORCE — EFnCIENT 
OFFICERS  DISMISSED  TO  MAKE  BOOM  FOB 
LOW  TAMMANT  POLITICIANS — SKETCH  OF 
THE  NEW  APPOINTEES. 

The  action  of  the  Tammany  Fire  Commi»- 
slonflrs,  Messrs.  Gorman  and  King,  in  removing 
eflSdent  employes  to  make  room  for  the  friends  of 
Croker  and  Pnrroy,  has  created  ereat  diaccmtent 
among  all  the  men  connected  with  the  department, 
and  feara  are  entertained  that  the  demoralization 
which  has  now  crept  in  among  the  clerical  attach6a 
of  the  office  will  soon  extend  to  the  fire- 
men and  destroy  the  efficiency  of  the  force. 
Men  who  have  hitherto  done  their  du^  without 
hope  of  political  reward  are  in  a  condition  of  anxiety. 
The  Tammany  Democrats  are  looking  for  "backers  " 
to  procure  them  promotions,  while  the  Republicans 
and  Anti-Tammany  Democrats  remidn  qniet,  in 
philosophical  expectation  of  dismissal.  The  Tam- 
many Commissioners  have  Introauced  a  new  system 
regarding  the  privacy  of  their  meetings.  Formerly 
no  one  was  permitted  to  be  present  except  the  Com- 
missioners and  their  Secretary;  now  a  number  of 
"  ex  officio"  Commissioners  make  their  presence  felt 
at  the  meetings,  and  "Dick"  Croker,  "Tommy" 
Shells,  "Frank"  Splnola,  Alderman  Purroy,  and  Al- 
derman Tuomey  freely  "  advise  "  their  friends  Gor- 
man and  King. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  board  held  on  Wednesday, 
the  15th  inst.,  Tuomey.  Shells,  and  Splnola  were  all 
present,  aud  were  attended  by  a  large  crowd  of  lesser 
Tammanyites.  In  the  absence  of  Pnrroy,  their  bold 
leader,  they  sat  in  the  background.  At  that  meet- 
ing Messrs.  Gorman  and  King  dismissed  from  the 
department  seven  of  Its  most  capable  employes. 
They  made  no  charges  against  any  of  the  men,  aud 
by  their  failure  to  do  so  violated  the  letter  and  spirit 
of  section  28  of  the  charter  of  1873.  Messrs.  Gor- 
man and  King  only  filled  the  places  of  six  of  the 
men  they  removed.  Tliat  their  appointees  are  unfit 
for  the  positions  to  which  they  have  been  assigned 
in  reward  for  their  services  to  Tammany  Hall  is 
made  apparent  by  their  records  as  given  below  : 

Martin  P.  Killian,  who  has  been  appointed  a  clerk 
in  head-quarters  to  succeed  Mr.  David  Graham,  is 
well  known  as  a  Tammany  "  striker. '^  He  belongs  In 
the  Twentieth  Ward.  Although  ho  has  for  years 
been  a  Democratic  worker,  he  waa  not  rewarded  with 
office  until  the  Fall  of  1875,  when  he  was  elected  to 
the  Assembly  from  the  Fifteenth  District  Previous 
to  that  time  he  was  employed  as  a  freight 
clerk  by  the  Hudson  River  Railroad  Company. 
\MiIle  in  the  Legislature  he  was  recog- 
nized as  the  leader  of  the  "  Black  Horse  Cavalry." 
He  Introduced  a  lai^  number  of  bills  affecting 
corporations,  bnt,  strange  to  say.  did  not  attempt  to 
move  them.  His  advocacy  of  rapid  transit  was  loud, 
mouthed,  and  to  catch  the  popular  applause— or 
something  else — he  introduced  a  ridiculous  measure 
affectlnsr  the  City  railroads,  which  was  nick-named 
the  "  No  Seat,  No  Fare  "  bill.  From  the  close  of  hia 
legislative  career  Killian  languished  for  place  until 
he  was  appointed  to  a  clerkship  in  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment last  week.  He  is  in  no  way  fit  f  1  to  perform 
the  duties  of  his  new  position.  He  uT-^frstands  that 
fact  thoroughly,  and,  it  is  said.  reRards  hLs  place  in 
the  light  of  a  'sinecure,  which  he  will  be  enabled  to 
retain  merely  through  his  political  services  in  sup- 
port of  the  Tammany  "  Boss."' 

John  Kennedy,  of  the  First  Assembly  District,  Is 
the  successor  of  Michael  T.  Cummings  as  a  clerk  in 
the  headquarters.  Cumminirs  is  a  Democrat,  be- 
longing to  the  Nineteenth  Assembly  District.  He  Is 
independent,  however,  and  wujb  removed  at  the  In- 
stance of  Tom  Callaghftn.  the  Tammany  leader  in 
his  district.  His  offense  was  that  last  Pall 
he  opposed  Ecclesene.  the  Tammany  candl- 
ilate  for  Assemblyman,  and  snpjwrted  Charles 
E.  Simms,  the  independent  Democratic  nom- 
inee, who  was  also,  nntU  last  Wednesday, 
an  employe  of  the  IMre  Department.  The  appoint- 
ment of  John  Kennedy  is  probably  the  worst  that 
has  been  made  by  the  Democratic  CommUsioners. 
It  appears  to  hav^  been  broiight  about  through  an 
»»rder  of  John  Kelly  himself,  given  at  the  request  of 
Justice  Duffy,  whose  "henchman  Kennedy  la  at  pres- 
ent. This  fact  is  taken  as  an  indication  that  Kellv 
intends  to  completely  depose  Congressman  Nick 
Muller  from  his  position  of  Tammany  leader  in  the 
nrst  District.  Kennedv  was  orlginaUy  a  follower  of 
Muller.  who  procured  him  several  positions  at  vari- 
ous ttmea.  Once  he  employed  him  in  the  Castle  Gar- 
den, and  at  another  period  kept  him  in  place  as  an 
InspeK-ior  of  Streets  and  Lamps.  Kennedy  has  three 
brothers,  and.  with  their  aid,  has  endeavored  to  iustal 
himself  as  the  "  boss "  of  his  election  district  in 
the  First  Ward.  In  the  same  district  is  a 
family  named  Dunleavy.  whose  male  members 
have  always  refused  to  bow  before  him.  Thus  there 
has  been  a  constant  rivalry  Iietween  the  Kennedys 
and  Dunleavys  for  the  possession  of  power  and  pub- 
lic pap.  Some  months  ago  Nick  Muller  conferred 
some  favor  upon  one  of  the  Dunleavys,  and  by  doing 
«o  alienated  x\\c  Kennedys  from  him.  John  Kennedy 
immediately  became  his  most  bitter  enemy.  Joining 
the  Duffy  faction,  he  became  the  Secretary  of  the 
General  Committee  of  the  ward.  Kennedy  further 
commended  himself  to  Boss  Kelly  and  l>nffv  by 
loudly  advocating  the  nomination  of  Charley  Moore 
to  succeed  Assemblyman  James  Healy  upon  the  d«ath 
of  the  latter  In  Januarv  last.  His  boisterousness 
in  the  convention  assUted  Justice  Ihiffy  to 
break  it  up  tn  such  a  manner  as  to  insure  the  nom- 
ination of  Moore,  who.  however,  was  after  all  de- 
feated by  Muller's  candidate.  John  Derriffan.  Ken- 
nedy has  no  other  qualities  to  commend  him  to  his 
present  place  than  the  vulgar  political  services 
spoken  of  above. 

James  Graham,  better  known  as  '•  Jimmy,"  who 
has  been  appointed  to  succeed  Mr.  Daniel  Lawson  as 
a  clerk  In  the  Bureau  of  Combustibles,  is  a  resident 
of  the  Ninth  Ward.  He  has  lieen  a  Democratic  place- 
holder for  years.  In  the  old  Rinic  da}-H  he  was  a 
rlerkin  the  Bureau  ot  Supplies  of  the  Department  of 
Public  Works.  When  Tweed  left  the  Commisslonershp 
of  that  department  Graham  lost  his  position  in  the 
Supply  Bureau,  bnt  soon  afterward  procured  one 
under  Taintor.  the  accountant  who  went  throneh 
the  books  of  the  departments.  He  was  afterward 
suspected  by  Tweed's  friends  of  having  given  valua^ 
ble  hints  to  Taintor,  and  was  denounced  ac<>cordinitly. 
For  severalyearshebasbeenoutofpolitical  place  but 
has  worked  energetically  to  prot-ure  it.  Hia  political 
labors  have  plerwed  the  Tammany  leaders  in  the 
Ninth  Dii^triet.  and  his  present  |)Osition  has  been 
given  him  by  Commissioner  Gorman,  who  belongs  to 
th.it  district.  Mr.  Lawson.  whbm  he  super- 
sedes, .Is  a  brother  of  ex-Congressman 
John  Th  Lawson.  and  was  removed 
simply  because  he  was  a  Republican.  Dnrint:  Mr. 
Ijawson's  four  years  of  service  in  the  Bureau  of  Com- 
bustibles he  turned  over  to  the  Fire  Commissioners 
$12.5.000  which  he  received  for  licenses  and  fines 
of  various  kinds.  The  position  to  which  Graham  has 
been  appointed  requires  that  its  occupant  shall  have 
A  t>  o-rmBh  knowledge  of  the  laws  concerntngthe  Fire 
D-^ar  'viwnt.  The  fart  that  ho  la  not  possessed  of 
re**  k  .#Twiedge  causes  considerable  confusion  in  the 
Bui  '-  .u  of  Combustibles. 

William  P.  Dorkin,  a  resident  of  the  Twentieth 
Assembly  District,  snperaedea  Charles  E.  Simms  in 
the  very  important  place  of  Sur\eyor  attached  to  the 
Bureau  of  Combustibles.    Hia  qualifications  for  the 

f>laee  are  as  yet  unknown.  He  was  formerly  a  clerk 
n  the  County  Court-house,  and  has  been  for  a  long 
time  a  Tammany  worker.  Hia  backer  is  Alderman 
Tuomey.  Mr.  Stmms.  whom  he  has  displaced,  was 
dismissed  by  CommUsioners  Gorman  and  King 
merely  becaose,  although  a  Democrat,  he  had  the  in- 
dependence to  oppose  Ecclesene,  the  Tammanv  can- 
didate for  Assemblymaq,  In  the  Nineteenth  District, 
last  Fail.  He  ran  agtfinst  Kcclosene,  aud  took  a 
large  vote  from  him. 

Lawrence  W.  McGrath  is  the  successor  of  John 
Royal  as  Dtputy  Fire  Marshal  in  the  Twenty-third 
and  Twenty-fourth  Wanis.  He  is  a  devoted  follower 
of  Alderman  Purroy,  and  a  strong  Tammany  leader 
In  the  Twenty-third  Ward.  He  keeps  a  bar-room  on 
Third-aventie,  near  One  Hundred  and  Forty-Eighth- 
atreet. 

John  J.  Hart  who  succeeds  Joseph  H.  Munday  as 
a  clerk  in  Head-quarters.  Is  a  young  man  residing  in 
Harlem.  On  account  of  his  youtli  he  has  not  yet 
become  well-known  as  a  Taramanyite.  His  qualifi- 
cations for  his  place,  beyond  the  fact  that  he  is  a 
Democrat,  are  not  more  than  respectable.  He  was 
appointed  on  account  of  his  fatner,  who  was  an  en- 
gineer in  the  Volunteer  Fire  Department,  and  an 
associate  of  the  Tammany  leaders  m  his  district. 


IKTERESTIKO  TELEPaOXW  EXPERIMENT. 

The  new  Edison's  Singing  Telephone,  which 
has  recently  been  heard  at  Cape  May  and  Long 
Branch,  was  tested  yesterday  at  the  Western  Union 
building  over  a  loop  of  wire  extending  to  Hartford 
and  back,  240  miles.  Singers  stationed  at  one  end 
of  the  wire  sang  into  a  small  fiaring  tube,  and  the 
electric  current  traversing  the  wire  reproduced  the 
music  at  the  other  end,  with  the  aid  of  a 
sounding-board  and  an  ingenious  apparatus 
which  IS  too  complex  to  be  readily  ex- 
plained to  non-scientlno  readers.  The  tones  were 
all  accurately  reproduced  as  regards  pitch  and  ex- 
pression, though  their  quality  was  somewhat 
changed  by  the  vibrations  of  a  metallic  diaphragm  at 
one  end  and  wooden  sounding-board  at  the  other. 
There  was  suffldeut  volume  to  be  easily  heard  in  a 
large  hall.  Mr.  E.  H.  Johnson,  the  electrician,  con- 
ducted this  experiment,  with  the  assistance  of  Mr. 
Downer.  Manager  of  the  main  Western  Union  Office, 
together  with  that  of  the  cliief  operator  and  several 
amateur  sin cers.  It  is  now  proposed  to  give  a  con- 
cert in  Saratoga  with  the  singers  in  this  City,  200 
miles  away.  Mr.  Johnson  is  ceriain  of  being  able  to 
produce,  even  at  that  great  distance,  an  ample  volume 
of  tone.  

DEAD  ON  TBE  STREETS. 
Between  3  and  4  o'clock  yesterday  morning 
Timothy  Lenahan.  a  shoemaker,  30  years  of  age,  re- 
sidh^  at  Ko.  75  Boosevelt'Street,  was  found  by  a 
poHceman  lying  on  his  face  in  the  all«yway  at  Ko. 
81  Roosevelt-street.  The  officer  attempted  to  rpnse 
him,  but  .finding  that  he  was  insensible,  obtained  as- 
sistance and  carried  Lenahan  to  the  Oak-Steeet  Po- 
lice Station.  An  ambulance  was  sent  for,  bnt  before 
It  arrived  Lenahan  expired.  There  was  but  one 
mark  of  violence  on  his  body,  and  that  was  across  tiie 
nose,  which  he  doubtless  received  in  falling  to  the 
pavement.    Oofoser  nasasan  waa  notified,  and  aa 


aBtop«y«f-th»  Tsmalns  of  the  deceased  shoemaker 
-waa  maAe'bx  Dr.  Miller,  who  found  that  death  had 
Temltedfrom  natural  causes,  the  deceased  haviiM^ 
long  been  affioted  with  diaeaaa  of  the  liver  and  Uf 
neo.    Deeeeaad  leeves  a  widow  and  three  children. 

At  delight  yesterday  morning,  an  officer,  of  the 
Ninth  Prednct  found  the  dead  body  of  a  man  lying 
on  the  platform  in  front  of  a  cotton  warehouse  at 
No.  386  West  Eleventh-street.  The  deceased  ap- 
peared to  be  about  -40  years  of  age,  Mid  his  clothlnar 
and  appearance  indicated  that  he  was  a  confirmed 
"bummer."  There  were  no  external  marks  of  vio- 
lence on  the  body,  and  death  is  supposed  to  have  re- 
sulted from  intemperance  and  exposure.  The  re- 
mains were  removed  to  the  Morgue  for  inquest. 

A  PLEASANT  PLACE  TO  GO  TO. 


BOW  IN  THE  OLYMPIC  THEATRE  DT  BEOOK- 
LTN— FEBE  FIGHT  IN  THE  GALLEET— 
SUCH    APFAIE8    TOO    COMMON   FOB  THE 


^ 


POUCE  TO  NOTICE, 


The  Olympic  Theatre,  situated  on  Pulton- 
street,  near  Smith,  Brooklyn,  was  the  scene  of  a 
rather  exciting  occurrence  late  on  Saturday  night, 
caused  by  the  presence  in  the  gallery  of  three  or  four 
young  roughs,  who  persisted  in  interrupting  the  per- 
formance until  they  succeeded  in  creating  a  disturb- 
ance, and  were  finally  forcibly  ejected  from  the  house 
by  the  attach^  of  the  theatre.  The  theatre  em- 
ployes endeavored  to  quell  the  disturbance  with- 
out resorting  to  harsh  measures,  but  In  this 
they  were  unaucoessful,  and  finally  they 
moved  upon  the  rioters  in  jl  body,  and 
after  a  short  scoilQe  succeeded  in  putting  them  out. 
In  the  mSI^e  a  bar-tender  from  the  Olympic  Hotel, 
situated  next  door  to  the  theatre,  waa  hit  on  the 
head  with  a  soda-water  bottle,  receiving  a  scalp 
wound  from  which  the  blood  flowed  quite  freely.  He 
was  taken  to  the  drug  atore  of  L.  Hermance,  nearly 
opposite  the  theatre,  where  his  wound  was  dressed, 
after  which  he  walked  away.  He  stated  subsequent- 
ly that  he  did  not  know  who  It  was  that  hit  him, 
although  hia  assailant's  face  waa  familiar,  and  as  he 
was  not  a  particularly  pleasant  or  nrofitable  cus- 
tomer he  would  be  perfectly  satisfied  if  be  would 
keep  away  frcim  the  saloon  and  froni  the  theatre. 
He      said,     also,     tnat      he      seised      hold    of     the 

Serson  whom  he  supposed  was  his  assailant  Imme- 
lately  after  the  occurrence,  and  handed  him  over 
to  a  special  officer,  telling  him  to  take  him  to  the 
First  Precinct  Station-house,  and  that  he  would  fol- 
low and  make  a  complaint  atcainst  him  as  soon  as  he 
could  have  his  wound  dressed  :  that  the  officer  took  the 
man  a  block  or  two  toward  the  station-house,  when  a 
crowd  surrounded  the  officer,  and  in  some  way  or 
other  the  prisoner  broke  away  from  him  and  escaped. 
Thebar-tender  was  the  only  one  hurt,  and  after  the 
ejectment  of  the  unruly  element  in  the  gallery,  the 
performance  at  the  theatre  proceeded  to  a  peaceful 
termination  without  further  trouble. 
'  Stmuee  aa  It  may  appear,  no  report  of  the  affair 
was  made  to  Police  Hi^d-qnarters,  nor  even  to  the 
First  Precinct  Station-house.  The  Police  authori- 
ties, when  questioned  about  it  yesterday,  replied 
that  such  scenes  were  by  no  means  uncommon  there, 
and  that  it  often  happened  that  unruly  pariies  had 
to  be  nut  out  of  the  gallery  of  the  Olympic,  and, 
therefore,  they  attatrbed  no  importance  whatever  to 
such  slight  episodes  as  that  of  Saturday  nicht.  In. 
spector  Waddy  said  there  were  uo  special  officers 
sent  to  the  Olympic  from  Head-quarters  on  Saturday 
night,  for  the  reason  that  none  were  applied  for.  anS 
they  were  not  in  the  habit  of  sending  special  officers 
there  unless  they  were  asked  for  by  the  manage- 
ment. 

At  5:40  o'clock  last  night  the  following  dispatch 
was  i^celved  at  Police  Head-quarters,  from  the  First 
Precinct: 

"About  10  last  night  a  gang  of  young  roughs  In  gal- 
lery of  Olympic  Tnaatre  start-iHi  a  row.  ana  the  ringleader 
beini?  ordered  to  utop  by  Special  Officer  lyclch  refused, 
Leirh  thrn  undertook  Wi  eject  Mul.  when  the  gang  at- 
tacked bin..  The  employes  then  anslsted  Leich  to  eject 
the  crowd,  and  micceeded.  Charles  Pearsall.  an  employe, 
waa  Ktrack  on  the  head  and  Bl%htly  cut  with  a  botUe. 
The  affair  lasted  about  lU  minutes." 


BRUTAL  CASE  OF  CHILD-BE ATING. 
A  case  of  brutal  child-bearing  took  plaeeETon 
Saturday  afternoon  at  Xn.  23-t  Greenwich-street. 
The  child's  name  Is  Ann  Ouslck.  aged  12.  For  some 
disobedience  on  her  part,  the  parents,  for  one  reason 
or  another,  not  caring  to  punish  her  themselves, 
called  in  the  assistance  of  a  cousin  named  Walker, 
who  happened  to  be  In  the  vicinity.  This  gentleman, 
who  evidently  deserves  a  medal,  went  to 
work  with  a  will  to  chastise  the  child. 
He  locked  her  in  a  room,  and  there  un- 
merrifuUv  lashed  her  across  the  face  with  a 
rattan,  which  had  been  previously  soaked  In  noap.  In* 
fiicting  cuts  and  bruises  the  marlcs  of  which  will  re- 
main on  the  girl's  face  for  life.  The  unnatural 
parents  were  all  this  time  in  the  hallway,  the  father 
shouting  "  Give  it  to  her.  give  It  to  her,"  and  the 
mother  preserving  a  passive  indifference.  The  child 
has  a  gash  over  two  mchrs  long  on  the  right  side  of 
her  face,  comnletely  disfiguring  her  youthful  coun- 
tenance. Wallter  was  arraiimod  yesterday  before 
Justice  Duffy,  at  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  and  for  his 
dastardly  conduct  was  held  In  default  of  $1,000 
bail  to  answer  In  the  Court  of  Special  Sessions. 
The  model  father  was  sent  to  the  City  Prison  for  13 
days,  and  to  stand  committed  to  keep  the  peace  in 
default  of  9500  bail.  Parties  living  in  the  neiehbor- 
hood  where  the  assault  took  place  are  very  bitter  in 
their  denunciation  of  the  conduct  of  Walker  and  the 
father.  They  say  they  would  have  lynched  the 
inhuman  child-beater  if  they  had  caught  him  on  Sat- 
urday night.  The  Society  for  the  I*revention  of 
Cruelty  to  Children  has  taken  charge  of  the  case. 
Ann  Cnsick  was  sent  to  the  House  of  Detention  to 
appear  as  a  witness  against  Walker. 

SERMON  BY  REV.  DAVID  IMRIE. 
The  pulpit  of  the  Westminster  Church, 
Twenty-second-street,  near  Seventh-avenne,  was  oc- 
cupied last  evening  by  Rev.  David  Imrie,  of  St  An- 
drews Free  Church,  Dunfermline,  Scotland.  The 
preacher  took  his  test  from  the  Epistle  of  Paul  to  the 
Philipplans,  L,  6:  "Being  confident  of  this  very 
thing,  that  he  which  hath  begun  a  good  work  In  you 
will  perform  it  until  the  day  of  Jesus  Christ."  Some 
1 ,  800  years  ago,  he  said,  these  words  were  written 
from  a  Roman  priiion.  and  the  message  bore  now  as 
much  truth  and  force  as  when  it  was  penned.  This 
epistle,  inspired  by  the  spirit  of  God,  was  a  message 
sent  direct  to  the  soul  of  each  true  believer  In  ( 'hrist. 
It  waa  specially  given  to  mau  for  his  comfort.  The 
words  of  the  Apostle  were  emphatic.  They  dealt  not 
In  eonjecture,  out  were  assured  and  absolutely  rer; 
tain.  The  preacher  especially  directed  attention  to 
the  doctrine  contalneil  In  the  text,  that  God's  w/rk 
of  (trace  shall  Vj«  carried  to  perfection  In  all  (* 
children.  This  doctrine,  he  said,  was  an  esnehtial 
part  of  God's  sovereignty  and  of  the  salvation  that  Is 
in  Christ  JeiiuB.  He  then  spoke  of  the  doctmne  of 
elecrion,  pointing  out  th.at  all  tm?-  believers  must 
needs  be  saved,  but  tliat  at  the  same  time  theije  must 
he  a  sharp  conflict  before  the  attainment  ot  saVration. 

SAVISG  TBE  CHILDREN. 
The  visitors  of  the  Sick  Children's  Mission  of 
the  Children's  Aid  Society  report  that  they  have 
found  as  many  cases  of  slckneas  among  the  children

Summer.  Since  Monday  last  220  applications  for 
relief  were  received  at  the  head-quarters.  No.  3*23 
Rivington-atreet^'&od  medical  attendance,  medicine,

vestigation showed  that  the  families  could  not  possi- 
bly afford  to  pay  for  them.  The  mission  does  not  re- 
lieve "general  want,"  and  as  the  visitors  and  physi- 
cians report  many  families  who  are  suffering  for 
want  of  the  necessaries  of  life,  they  have  been  re- 
ferred to  the  Association  for  Improving  the  Condi- 
tion of  the  .Poor,  which  has  oftered  to  co-operate 
with  the  Children's  Aid  Society  in  relieving  such  ex- 
tretbe  destitution.  Many  of  the  poor  mothers  say 
that  they  only  reoulre  temjiorary  aid,  as  the  families 
wili  soon  return  rrom  the  coxmtry  that  cive  them  em- 
ployment at  washing  and  scrubbing.  The  physicians 
and  visitors  connected  with  the  Sick  Children's  Mis- 
sion have  been  supplied  with  "health  circulars." 
printed  in  English  and  German,  for  distribution 
among  the  tenement-houses,  giving  simple  in.<(truc-

ance ;  that  on  the  way  she  remarked  upon  his  own 
piriful  condition,  whereat  Eisle  was  silent  for  a  few 
moments,  and  then  jumped  from  the  wagon,  saying 
that  he  preferred  to  walk.  She  will  also  testify  that 
previous  to  his  incarceration  Eisle  kept  a  close 
watch  upon  Thomas,  the  lame  man.  who  appeared  to 
be  afraid  of  him,  and  who  said  to  her  one  day.  "  Mrs. 
Gunser.  I  could  tell  a  good  deal-  more  than  I  did  at 
court,  if  I  only  dared." 

JUSTICES  WBO  WILL  NOT  DO  THEIR  DUTY. 
The  Police  of  Richmond  County,  acting  un- 
der orders  from  the  Comm»sioners.  have  recently 
made  numerotis  arrests  of  Uquor-dealers  for  viola- 
tion of  the  Excise  law,  and  many  .cases  are  set  down 
for  hearing  early  next  month,  the-delinquents  being 
held  in  $100  bail  each.  Capt.  Bla^^  order  of  the 
Police  Commissioners,  has  caused  to  be  prepared  a 
list  of  all  persons  engaged  In  the  liquor  business, 
whether  licensed  or  not.  from  which  It  apx>ears  that 
in  the  whole  town  of  Northfield  but  one  dealer  is 
licensed,  while  not  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  can  be 
found  in  the  town  who  will  issue  warrants  to  arrest 
offenders.  In  the  town  of  Westfield  also  the  Jus- 
tices refused  to  Issue  warrants,  and  but  one  Justice 
could  be  found  In  either  Middletown  or  Sonthfield 
who  would  co-operate  witn  the  Police.  Justice  Cor- 
bett,  of  Castleton.  at  first  agreed  to  issue  warrants, 
but  afterward  declined.  It  is  thought  that  not  one 
hquor-dealer  In  ten  throughout  the  county  pays  li- 
cense.

THE  MOST  EXPENSIVE  BOOK  EVER  SOLD. 
The  London  Saturday  Review,  referring  to 
the  Carton  collection  now  on  exhibition  in  England, 
says  that  "  in  first  editions  and  in  books  which  are 
the  first  fruits  of  particular  presses,  the  Spencer  col- 
lection is  extremely  rich.  This  was  the  peculiar 
province  of  the  gosslppliigblni^erer   who    brotigbt 


bibliography  into  fashion-^'D  year%  aeo.  The  amus- 
ing ped  antry  of  Dr.  Dibdln.  who  made  mistakes 
whenever  he  could,  aud'*^ho.  it  may  safely  be  said, 
never  hazarded  a  guess  without  guessing  wrong,  has 
rendered  many  people  f  amilikr^th  the  famous  history 
of  the  Valdarf  er  Boccaccio.  The  book  reposes  quietly 
enough  in  one  of  the  cases,  and  gives  little  indication 
of  bein^  the  most  expensive  volume  a  man  ever 
bought.  In  1S12  Lord  Blandford  bid  aeainst  Lord 
Spencer  at  the  sale  of  the  Jioxburgh  labrarv  in.  St. 
James' '  Sqtiare  for  this  volume,  and  tiiev 
ran  each  other  up  until  the  enormous  price 
of  $10,961  was  reached,  when  the  hammer 
fell.  Dibdin  has  told  the  storv  in  his  most 
hyperbolical  languajie.  The  Roxburzh  Club  was 
founded  in  honor  of  the  sale,  and  Dibdin  wrote  his 
•■  Bibliographical  Decataeron"'  ia  honor  of  the  book. 
"But  the  strangest  part  of  the  story  hardlv  comes 
out  in  conteraporarv  literature.  *The  Valdarfer 
Boccaccio  waa  printed  in  Venice  in  l-tTl.  and  owes 
its  distinction  to  Its  being  the  first  edition  of  the 
Italian  romancer  with  a  date.  An  imperfect 
copy  is  in  the  library  of  the  Duke 
of  Mariborougfa  at  Blenheim :  and  when  Lord 
Bluidford  succeeded  to  the  dukedom  he  was  actually 
the  happv  possessor  of  two  out  of  the  four  known 
copies.  Naturally  one  must  be  sold.  The  Blenheim 
copy  waa  aniheirloom,  and  had  to  be  retained.  The 
Roxburgh  copy  was  sacrificed,  and  at  the  "  White 
Knight's  "  sale,  so  called  from  the  name  of  the  house 
in  Berkshire  where  it  took  place,  Lord  Spencer  had 
occassion  to  be  thankful  he  did  not  buv  the  volume 
twhen  it  was  put  up  before."  At  this  sale  he  secured 
the  book  for  $3,437  50.  It  is  on  the  whole  a  very 
plain  volume,  having  oiily  colored  initials  at  the 
banning  of  the  chapters. 


REPEATING  SERMONS. 
Rev.  J.  F.  Moors,  Pastor  of  the  Unitarian 
Church  in  Greenfield,  Mass.,  has  addressed  a  note  to 
the  editor  of  the  Boston  Journal,  in  which  he  says  : 
'■  I  am  amused  at  the  newspaper  criticisms  abont  re- 
peating sermons,  based  upon  a  statement  which 
some  one  has  set  going  that  I  have  written  L300  ser- 
mons and  have  not  repeated  one.  The  last  nart  of 
the  statement  Is  as  wide  of  the  truth  as  possible.  I 
repeat  sermons  a  great  dcah '  I  have  two  or  three 
sermons  which  I  have  preachfd  with  only  verbal 
changes  about  50  times  each.  Most  of  my  sermons 
are  preached  more  than  once.  I  find,  howeve^. 
if  I  am  to  repeat  a  sermon  it  mtist  usually  T 
be  within  two  or  three  years  after  it  is  written. 
If  it  is  not  repeated  within  that  time  it  must  be 
rewritten.  I  find  it  easier  to  rewrite  a  sermon  than 
to  make  a  great  many  alterations  in  it ;  so  I  have 
rewritten  a  great  many  sermons  and  have  numbered 
them  as  new  opest  Does  1.300  seem  a  great  many  f 
I  have  been  a  good  while  doing  it.  Leaving  out  one 
year  in  the  Army  and  one  year  in  Europe,  I  have 
given  30  years,  uninterrupted  by  sickness,  to  pre- 
paring 1.300  manuscripts  for  the  pnlpit;  about 
1.200  sermons  and  100  lectures  for  Sunday  even- 
ings, equal  to  43  manuscripts  a  year.  I  do  not  daim 
to  be  a  genius  nor  a  blockhead,  but  to  have  done  in 
a  quiet  way  a  fair  average  amount  of  professional 
work."  

TBE  BRITISB  POSTAL  SERTIOE. 
A  tall,  gray-haired  gentleman,  so  runs  the 
story,  lately  went  into  one  of  the  branch  po^  oflices 
in  the  western  region  of  England.  He  ask^'some 
question  relative  t^he  registering^  a  letter  of  one 
the  girls  in  attendance,  and  was  answered  in  a  m.in- 
ner  which  he  considered  exceedingly  sharp  and  rude. 
He  repeated  the  question,  however,  not  being  quite 
sure  that  he  not  mistaken  in  his  supposition,  and  he 
repeated  it  very  mildly.  She  answered  him 
more  rudely  than  before.  He  then  made 
some  remonstrance,  and  asked  her  if  she 
thought  that  waa  a  proper  way  to  answer  an  inquiry 
in  a  public  office.  She  said  she  tbotight  she  had  been 
quite  civil  enough  for  him.  He  a^ed  her,  with  an 
ominously  increasing  mildness  of  manner,  if  she 
would  favqx  him  with  her  name.  She  emphatically 
declined  to  do  so.  He  then  said  he  thought  he  would 
tell  her  his  name,  which,  however,  she  declined  to 
hear,  saying  that  his  name  was  no  concern  of  heri^ 
He  calmly  replied  that  he  thought  it  was,  for  his 
name  was  John  Manners,  and  he  was  the  Postmaster- 
General,-  Curtain.        

CONGRESSMAN  EICKHOFF  SERENADED. 
The  San  Francisco  Call  says  that  a  serenade 
was  given  in  that  city  on  Friday  e-'ening,  ITth  inst., 
to  Hon.  Anthony  Elckhoff,  Congressman  elect  from 
the  Seventh  District  of  New-York.  A  large  number 
of  citizens,  chiefly  German,  assembled  In  the  parlors 
and  in  front  of  the  hoteL  Mayor  Brj^aut 
was  present,  and  after  mu^ic,  performed  bv 
the  .  Second  Regiment  Band,  had  ceased, 
he  introduced  Mr.  EiekhofF,  stating  that 
during  his  visit  he  had  inqtiii-ed  into  some  matters  of 
particular  interest  to  the  coast.  Mr.  Eickh'off,  in  ac- 
knowledging the  serenade,  said:  "  I  thank  you  for 
this  mark  of  attention  to  a  visitor.  I  am  not  vain 
enough  to  believe  that  the  compliment  is  intended 
for  me  personally,  because  I  have  done  nothing  to 
deserve  it ;  but  I  consider  It  as  a  compliment  to  my 
constituency  in  New- York.  I  have  come  to  Califor- 
nia and  have  traveled  over  the  State  for  the  purpose 
of  gleaning  something  of  its  requirements  in  regard 
to  questtons  of  vital  importance  that  may  come 
up  for  settlement  in  the  next  Congress,  and  in 
of  which  I  wished  to  be  able  to  8i>eak  and

XiOSDON,  Aug.  27.— The  contiDuation  of 
die  Daily  Noes'  correspondent's  description  of 
.  Frida;|s  battle  in  the  Sehipka  Pass  shox««  that 
'  the  central  peak  of  the  Turkish  position  was 
carried  with  the  bayonet  by  the  Rossians,  part 
it  the  troops  who  accomplished  this  being 
led  by  Gen.  Radetzky  in  person.  The  corre- 
spondent says':  •'  The  Turks  endeavored  to 
retake  it  but  were  repnlsed.  As  well  as  thus 
clearing  his  flank.  Gen.  Badetzky  also  pushed 
back  the  Turks  from  his  front.  The  Turks  will 
donbtle.ss  renew  the  attack  to-morrow  (Sun- 
day) with  fresh  troops,  probably  both 
in  front  and  on  the  flanks.  They  are  reported 
as  pressing  on  through  a  narrow  and  dif- 
ficult pass  on  the  east  side  of  Schipka  leading 
down  into  Triana,  but  I  know  that  the  Grand 
Duke  Nicholas  has  ordered  a  brigade  to  that 
point,  with  more  troops  to  follow ;  also,  that 
reinforcements  are  streaming  on  to  the  Schipka 
position.  Gen.  Radetzky  has  brok.'n  the  dan- 
gerous pressure  on  his  flanks.  All  danger  is 
not  yet  over,  but  the  atmosphere  looks  much 
clearer."  The  correspondent  estimates  the  Rus 
sien  loss  on  Friday  at  1,500  killed  and 
wounded. 

Lo.vDos,  Aug.  2S.— The  Daihj  Ketes'  corre- 
spondent at  Sistova  telegraphs  on  Monday 
as  follows:  "Fighting  is  still  going  on 
in  front  of  the  Schipka  Pass,  but  Gen. 
Radetzky  continues  to  maintain  his  ground  al- 
_  though  his  losses  are  serious.  1  hold  to  my 
:onviction  that  Schipka  is  safe,  and  that  thus 
is  defeated  the  great  strategic  scheme  of  the 
lurkiKh  leaders  to  hem  the  Russians 
within  the  large  Utf-de-pont  in  Bulgaria, 
with  the  ultimate  intent  of  driving  them 
aver  the  Danube.  The  ne^t  few  days  wUl 
be  full  of  interest.  These  past,  I  shall  expect 
the  Russians  to  take  the  initiative  in  a  vigorous 
offensive  policy  on  both  flanks,  and  so  relieve 
themselves  from  the  existing  pressure,  and,  hav- 
ing done  so,  pursue  their  design  of  sweeping  the 
5ountry  north  of  the  Balkans  clear  of  the  Turk- 
ish armies.  The  spirits  and  condition  of  the 
Russian  soldiers  are  high  and  satisfactory.  They 
may  be  relied  upon  to  flght  a  gooid  fight. 
The  Russians  have  been  paBsing  through  a 
dangerous  crisis.  They  had  only  so  many  men 
to  hold  their  ground  In  Bulgaria  pending  the 
arrival  of  reinforcements  rendered  necessary  by 
the  unexpected  development  of  the  Turkish 
Bchting  strength.  These  they  have  dis- 
posed like  a  fence  around  the  edge 
of  the  large  area  which  they  had 
been  able  to  occupy  owing  to  the  inactivity  of 
the  Turks  in  the  early  stages  of  the  campaign. 
Dreading  attacks  from  the  right  and  left  on 
Timova.  the  Russians  kept  a  body 
of  troops  belonging  to  the  Eighth 
Corps  about  that  town  available  to 
strengthen  any  weak  position  that  might  he 
threatened,  when  Suleiman  Pasha  took 
the  village  of  Schipka  there  was  thus 
not  a  Russian  soldier  available  to  rein- 
force the  small  force  holding  the 
pass  nearer  than  Timova,  40  miles 
away.  Reinforcements  arrived  in  the  nick 
of  time,  but  the  safety  of  the  Schipka  position 
was  an  affair  of  minutes,  and  if  the 
Turks  had  struck  all  around  simultaneously 
either  the  Schipka  position  xaast  have  been 
left  to  its  fate  or  some  other  section  of 
the  fence  line  must  have  been  serionslv 
endangered.  I  think,  however,  that  the  crisis 
is  virtually  past.  The  arrival  of  reinforcements 
now  flowing  in  In  a  steady  stream,  should  ena- 
ble the  Grand  Duke  to  breathe  more  freely.'* 
The  telegram  concludes  :  ■'  There  are  indica- 
tions that  important  diplomatic  matters  are  in 
progress." 

A  St.  Petersburg  dispatch  of  Aug.  26  says  : 
•'The  news  from  Constantinople  announcing 
i-he  capture  of  several  forts  in  the  Schipka  Pass 
is,  according  to  present  Information,  unfound- 
ed." The  following  ofiQcial  intelligence  is  pub- 
lished: "According  to  the  latest  news  n-om 
head-quarters,  our  troops  have  not  yielded  an 
inoh  of  their  positions  in  the  Schipka  Pass." 

A  Russian  ofBclal  bulletin,  dated  Gomy-Stu- 
denl,  Sunday  evening,  says  :  "  Yesterday  our 
troops  maintained  t£eir  positions  in 
the  Scbiplsa  Pass.  During  the  day's 
fighting,  which  lasted  from  9  o'clock 
in  the  morning  until  10  in  the  evening, 
we  lost  30  officers  and  400  men  killed  and 
wouhded.  During  the  night  the  Turks  renewed 
:he  engagement  with  fresh  troops,  and  figntlng 
sras  still  going  on  desperately  at  noon.  Sunday, 
when  the  dispatch  containing  this  information 
left  the  pass.  The  Russians  then  still  main- 
tained their  positions.*'

OF  THE  EUSSIANS. 

LoSDOX,  Aug.  27. — The  Times^  Vienna 
correspondent  telegraphs  the  following  explana- 
tion of  Mehemet  All's  operations:  "The ob- 
ject of  the  movement  on  Aghaslar  seems  to 
have  been  to  get  between  the  posi- 
tions occupied  by  the  Russians  on  the 
River  Lom  and  those  occupied  by  them  on  the 
lino  from  Timova  to  Osman  Bazar.  Although 
by  the  taking  of  Aghaslar  the  right  of  the  Rus- 
sian position  on  the  Lom  has  been  turned  by 
the  Turksv  communication  between  the  Russian 
division  on  the  Lom  and  that  on  the 
road  from  Timova  to  Osman  Bazar  has 
not  been  Interrupted,  for  It  runs 
further  behind,  over  the  heights  bv  Koragacs 
and  Kadi-koL  Two  divisions  of  the  Thirteenth 
Corps  are  now  ready  to  co-operate  against  any 
furUier  advance  of  the  Turks  from  Aghaslar. 
Pop-koi,  near  which  these  two  divisions  are 
concentrated,  is  a  strong  flanking  position. 
The  Turks,  if  they  advance  from  Aghas- 
lar, cannot  leave  it^  aside,  but  must 
either  take  it  or  manoeuvre  the  Russians 
out  of  it.  Even  a  feeble  demonstration  from 
Bebrova,  where  the  right  wing  of  Suleiman 
Paaha's  army  was,  or  from  Osman-Bazar,  which 
might  be  made  at  any  moment,  would  prevent 
the  Russians  from  drawing  up  large  reinforce- 
,  mente  to  oppose  an  advance  from  Aghaslar.  From 
the  partial  nature  of  the  en^gements  fought 
hitherto  on  the  Lom  line  the  Russians  cannot  be 
certain  whether  it  is  the  main  force  pf  Mehemet 
AU  they  have  to  deal  with  there,  or  whether  an 
advance  in  that  direction  is  not  made  with  a 
view  to  prepare  for  an  advance  from  Osman-Ba- 
zar, which,  being  along  the  main  road,  would 
seem  a  far  more  likely  movement  for  a  large 
army  than  an  advance  along  the  indifferent 
roads  and  tracks  leading  Aghaslar.  From  the 
manner  in  whi  b  the  Russians  are  pushing  for- 
ward reinforcements  to  the  Schipka  Pass,  it 
leems  they  ate  still  confident  of  being  able  to 
resist  any  advance  from  the  River  Lom  or  Os- 
xian-Bazar.

London,  Aug.  27. — A  dispatch  to  the 
Daily  Neics  from  Kurukdara,  dated  Aug.  25, 
says:  "  The  Turks  took  Kiziltepe,  but  in  at- 
tempting to  take  Kurukdara  they  were  entirely 
dsteated.  The  Russian  Generals  Eomarofi  and 
Tchavschevadzo  were  wounded."

London,  Aug.  28.— The  DaUy  News'  corre- 
spondent at  Kurukdara,  telegrapmng  on  Sunday, 
gives  fuller  details  of  Saturday^  battle.  He  says 
the  heights  of  KlzUtepe,  which  were  captured 
by  the  Turks,  were  only  held  by  one  Russiitn 
battalion.  The  Ttirks  swarmed  upon  the  moun- 
tains, protected  by  siege  guns,  which  they 
used  with  terrible  effect.  'They  made  a  des- 
perate flank  movement  from  the  direction  of 
Kars  to  capture  Kurukdara.  The  Russians 
had  their  tents  loaded  on  wagons  ready  to 
move,  but  perfect  discipline  and  the  admirable 
management  of  the  officers,  together  with 
fierce  fighting,  saved  ■  the  day.  The  infantry 
contest  at  Southaton  village  and  fort  was  ter- 
rible, the  Turks  retiring  at  sundown  with 
heavy  losses.  The  Russians  lost  before  Kuruk- 
dara two  Generals  and  eight  officers  killed.  237 
soldiers  killed  and  712  wounded.  Deserters  say 
the  Turks  lost  3,000.

SPEECH  OP  SIR  ST.\FFOED  NOETHCOTE  ON 
THE  DUTT  OF  ENGLAND— THE  STRICT- 
EST AUTRALITT  TO    BE  MAINTAINED. 

LoNDON.Aug.  2S.— SirStaffordNorthcote, 
in  a  speech  at  Plymouth  last  night,  declared 
that  the  duty  of  England  at  the  pres- 
ent moment  was  to  pursue  a  policy 
of  the  strictest  neutrality.  An  occa- 
sion might  arise  on  which  a  definite 
policy  would  be  necessary,  but  under  present 
circumstances  the  duty  of  the  Government  was 
to  keep  in  view  and  maintain  in  every  possible 
way  the  position  of  influence  of  England, 
so  that  it  could  be  of  assistance  in 
bringing  this  most  miserable,  disastrous,  cruel, 
and  barbarous  war  to  a  close.  As  the  struggle 
became  more  and  more  mortal,  the  nece£i.lty 
increased  for  England  so  to  pkn  her  conduct 
as  to  avoid  the  possibility  of  her  motives  or 
sincerity  being  misunderstood  or  suspected  on 
either  side.  They  had  said  the  interests'*  of 
England  must  l>e  protected  If  attacked,  and  he 
maintained  this  position,  but  not  in  the  narrow 
and  selfish  sense  which  had  been  ascribed  to 
the  phrase.  What  they  \\-i8hed  was  in  the  in- 
terest of  humanity  and  the  world  at  large  to 
bring  about,  it  possible,  a  settlement  of  the 
unhappy  Quarrel  which  at  present  desolated 
Europe.  He  hoped  the  Government  would  be 
attained  without  having  to  contend  with  ex- 
cited outbursts,  to  exorcise  according  to  the  best 
of  their  judgment,  and  with  a  firm  resolution  tA 
do  their  duty,  the  influence  which  still  remained 
to  Great  Britain  In  the  councils  of  Europe.  He 
believed  that  infiueDce  was  still  growing  and 
that  It  would  not  be  less  powerful  for  good  at 
the  close  of  the  nineteenth  century  than  .ft  was 
at  its  commencement.    - •

SactiTZA,  Friday,  Aug.  10, 1877. 

It  is  quite  wonderful  to  see  the  speed  of 
Cossacks  after  a  defeat ;  indeed  their  ehambling 
thiee-legged  brutes  can  only  be  comnared  to 
the  Servian  heroes  when  they  were  forced  to 
fall  back  after  some  unsuccessful  affair  las: 
Summer,  and  the  population  of  Sistova  was 
again  nearly  frightened  out  of  its  senses  on  the 
evening  of  the  7th  of  August  by  the  appearance 
of  a  number  of  these  importations  from  the 
Ukraine,  who,  with  trembling  voices  and  in 
despondent  tones,  annoimced  that  the  Russian 
Army  had  sustained  another  severe  defeat. 
The  whole  truth  was.  not  known  until  next  day. 
and,  to  the  great  relief  of  the  panic-stricken  in- 
habitants, it  was  proved  that  although  there 
had  been  a  repulse  the  disaster  had  been  ex- 
aggerated. Still  it  was  a  disaster,  and  another 
proof,  if  any  were  still  wanting,  of  the  incapaci- 
ty of  the  Russian  Generals  and  the  splendid,  un- 
flinching courage  of  the  Russian  troops,  both 
oflBcers  and  men.  The  engagements  before 
Plevna  having  been  unsuccessful,  because  the 
attack  had  been  made  by  InsufSclent  numbers 
on  a  very  strong  position,  an  improvement 
was  attemipted  in  the  shape  of  a  move- 
ment with  a  single  brigade  of  infantry 
supported  by  four  squadrons  of  cavalry, 
against  Lovdscha,  (Lovatz,)  the  strongest 
point  of  Osman  Pasha's  line.  The  battle  was 
long,  lasting  about  10  hours,  the  results  a  re- 
pulse, as  might  have  been  anticipated,  the 
losses  about '20  per  cent,  of  the  troops  engaged. 
It  was  a  mere  repetition  of  the  former  affairs, 
the  only  difference  being  that  then  the  move- 
ments were  principally  directed  against  the 
Turkish  left  wing,  whereas  on  Tuesday  the  ex- 
treme right  was  selected.  Large  drafts  of 
wounded  have  been  sent  up  from  the  field,  and 
the  ambulance  trains  are  now  crawling  over  the 
bridge  to  this  town,  where  the  hospitals  are 
filled  to  overfiowing,  to  be  thence,  after  a  brief 
halt,  forwarded  via  Alexandra  to  some  point 
of  J  the  Bucharest-Giurgevo  Railway.  As  In 
the  cases  which  had  already  cbme  under  my 
notice,  most  of  the  wounds  had  been  received 
in  the  arms  and  head,  very  few  in  the  body, 
and  a  certain  small  proportion  in  the  legs,  feet, 
and  back,  but  there  were  no  instances  of  the 
horrible  mutilations  of  the  preceding  engage- 
ments, from  which  circumstance  I  judge  that 
the  enemy  had  not  attempted  any  sorties  from 
his  position,  and  that  the  fighting  on  his  side 
had  been  strictly  on  the  defensive.  The 
combat,  indeed,  could  have  been  nothing 
but  a  sort  of  forced  reconnolssance,  intended 
as  a  feeler,  the  Russians  not  proposing  to  bring 
on  a  general  engagement  until  they  shall  have 
got  over  all  their  reinforcements,  which  are 
now  coming  up  at  the  rate  of  about  12.000 
every  day.  However,  as  this  letter  will  prob»- 
bly  reach  its  destination  at  about  the  same  mo- 
ment that  the  telegraph  will  communicate  the 
results  of  the  great  impendiag  battle,  it  will 
not  be  irrelevant  to  give  a  sketch  of  the  relative 
positions  of  the  two  armies  now  in  presence,  as 
the  special  corresgondents,  in  their  thrilling 
and  eloquent  narratives  of  the  various  phases 
of  the  actions  already  fought  there,  have  entire- 
ly neglected  to  describe  the  theatre  of  the  opera- 
tion. 

Osman  Pasha,  with  a  force,  estimated  at  70,- 
000  troops  of  all  arms,  but  deficient  in  cayfjiry, 
occupies  a  ridge  of  hUls  running  nearly  in  a 
straight  line  from  Plevna  to  Lovdscha — ^the 
"  horse-shoe"  formation,  spoken  of  in  one  very 
detailed  dispatch,  referring  probably  •  to  the 
throwing  back  of  the  extreme  Turkish  left, 
which  is  in  echelon  at  Plevna-  The  distance 
between  the  two  extremities  of  the  line — con- 
nected by  a  good  military  road — is  about  16 
miles,  over  a  broken  country  where  the  hills 
slope  down  gradually  along  the  whole  front  of 
the  position,  forming  a  natural  glacis,  whose 
base  is  covered  by  a  multitude  of  little  tributa- 
ries of  the  Vid  and  Osman  Rivers,  of  which  the 
most  Important  is  the  Grivica.  At  about  two 
hours'  march  from  Plevna  this  ridge  attains  an 
elevation  of  1,425  feet  above  the  level  of  the 
sea,  but  from  this  point  declines  into  the  vass 
alluvial  plain  in  front  of  Lovdscha. 

Plevna  is  a  town  of  14,000  inhabitants, 
hnilt  in  terraces  upon  a  hill,  with  the  Vid  and 
Grivica  Bivers  coveriwt  three  of  its  sides. 
Its  streeta  are  narrow  andtortooos,  and  u  moat. 


of  the  houses  are  bnilt  of  stone  and  surrounded 
by  orchards  and  gardens,  with  high  walls  or 
thick  hedges,  it  is  susceptible  of  a  good  defense. 
The  circumstance  that  it  is  not  comma:«ded  from 
any  point  in  the  environs  renders  the  position 
still  more  formidable,  as  it  can  be  carried  only 
by  assault.  It  has  been  strengthened,  as  is  the 
case  along  the  whole  line,  by  abattls  and  rifle- 
pits,  with  redoubts  at  some  of  the  salients.  A 
good  military  road,  crossing  a  branch  of  the 
Grivica  about  three  miles  outside  of  the  town — 
here  there  is  an  earth  work— leads  to  the  Russian 
position  of  Bulgareni.  To  the  rear  the  commu- 
nications are  eaaj-  with  Wlddln  and  Rahova,  the 
country  to  the  norlt  and  west  between  Plevna 
and  the  Danube  being  chiefly  a  plain,  with  a 
few  unimportant  undulations,  practicable  for 
artillery  in  every  direction  during  the  dry  season. 

Lovdscha,  on  the  extreme  right.  Is  the  key  of 
the  Turkish  position,  although  its  Importance 
seems  to  have  been  overlooked  during  the 
battles  of  the  2Sth,  29th,  and  30th  of  July, 
when,  garrisoned  by  only  five  battalions 
of  Osmanli,  no  serious  attempt  was  made 
for  its  possession.  It  was.  indeed, 
occupied  for  a  short  time  In  the  early  days  of 
the  invasion,  when  everything  looked  so  bright 
and  rosy,  by  a  detachment  of  Cossacks,  hut 
these  were  easily  driven  out  by  a  small  Turk- 
ish detachment,  and  since  then  the  place  has 
been  held  as  a  Turkish  outpost.  Lovdscha, 
a  town  containing  about  13,U00  inhabitants, 
two-thirds  of  whom  are  Mussulmans,  stands 
upon  both  banks  of  the  Osma.  with  a  bridge  of 
masonry  connecting  the  maiu  town  with  the 
western  suburb,  which  is  entirely  inhabited 
by  the  Christians.  The  eastern  and  central 
quarters  are  built  In  amphitheatre  olTa  spur 
of  the  Balkans  at  an  absoiuteusltitude  of  ODO 
feet,  with  steep.  naiTow  streets  running  up  the 
sides  of  the  mountain,  whose  summit — stundiug 
out  like  a  promontory  In  the  midst  of  the  plain 
of  the  Osma — ^vus  used  as  an  obaervatorr  lur  the 
Russian  topographical  survey  made  by  them 
dm-ing  their  occupation  in  lb2s-9,  and  isnuw 
crowned  by  earth-works  mounted  with  heavy 
guns.  In  the  centre  of  the  town  is  the  Konat, 
or  palace  of  the  Governor,  a  squure  stouo  edi- 
fice, surrounded  by  a  walled  courtyard  capable 
01  holding  1.000  men  ;  this  and  the  Khan,  also 
of  stone,  are  the  only  buildings  of  any  size  or 
importance,  but  as  the  dwelling-houses,  gar- 
dens, and  orchards  are  disitosed  as  at 
Plevna,  a  successful  assaidt  will  be  attended 
by  an  Immense  loss  of  life.  A  narrow  lane  iu- 
closed  between  two  perpendicular  chalk  cUlfs 
leads  up  the  Osma  and  to  the  communications 
in  rear  .connecting  with  Trojan ;  on  the  north 
and  'WSst  are  two  cemeteries  surrounded  by 
stone  walls  and  stiong  palisades — au  innovation 
for  Mohammedan  burial-places,  which  are  gen- 
erally left  open.  Against  an  enemy  a<lvanr.iQg 
from  the  Danube,  Lovdscha  Is  the  first  serious 
rampart  for  the  defense  of  the  Bulkaus,  and. 
although  an  open  town,  Its  possession  Is  of  cap- 
ital Importance  to  the  Osmanll,  as  a  coint  of 
support  to  their  base  of  operations.  In  addi- 
tlou  to  this  It  commands,  like  Tiruova,  the  en- 
trance to  the  valleys  of  the  Vid,  the  Osma,  and 
Yantra.  which  are  peopled  by  the  only  really  In- 
surgent element  of  the  Bulguriau  Christian  pop- 
ulation. 

Itrom  the  earliest  days  of  the  Moslem  invasion 
all  this  part  of  the  Cpper  Hixmus  chain  has 
been  the  chief  refuge  of  the  Balkan  Ctielibl  aud 
the  Hay  dukes,  a  set  of  fierce  outlaws,  who,,  from 
love  of  plunder,  or  through  hatred  of  oppression 
and  misrule,  have  sought  a  home  In  the  mount- 
ain fastnesses,  whence.  If  hard  pressed  by  the 
Turkish  Zaptlebs,  they  could  easily  escape  to 
the  equally  impenetrab'ie  wildernesses  of  Mace- 
donia and  Upper  Mcesia.  So  terrible, 
indeed,  was  the  reputation  of  these  brig- 
ands that  these  defiles  were  rarely  used 
by  the  Turks,  who,  contrary  to  their  custom, 
established  no  post  relays  in  this  section  of  the 
country,  although  it  is  constantly  traversed  bv 
the  traders  and  Kiradjls  from  Tartarbazardjlk 
and  Phlllppopolis  on  their  way  to  Lovdscha  and 
the  I)annbe — neither  the  "gentlemen  of  the 
mountains,"  Bal'iian  Chelibi,  nor  the  political 
■  ffenders,  the  Haydukes.  ev^fTintert'ering  witli 
Christian  travelers,  except,  perhaps,  so  far  as 
to  levy  a  small  toll  wherewith  to  p\ircbase  arn;s 
and  ammunition.  Lovdscha  thus  commands 
the  network  of  roads  and  bridle-paths  leading 
south  of  the  Baliians  through  the  valleys  of  the 
Troutscha  and  Koumsou.  and  to  the  famous 
Col  de  Trajan,  so  that  so  long  as  it  is  held  not 
even  a  defeat  of  the  Turkish  forces  at  Plevna 
can  be  a  really  decisive  affair,  a.s  their  line  of 
retreat  is  perfectly  secured.  A  few  days  ago 
Hafiz  Pasha  was  detached,  with  5,000  infantry 
and  two  batteries,  to  Sehi,  a  very  .strong  position 
on  the  main  highway  to  "Timova,  but,  owing  to 
the  reinforcement  of  the  Russian  left  wing,  there 
was  a  danger  that  this  Isolated  brigade  might 
be  cut  otf,  so  It  has  been  brought  back  to 
Lovdscha.  Selvi  is  now  held  by  Grand  Duke 
Vladmir  with  a  division,  and  although  its  bat- 
teries can  take  no  part  in  the  attack  on  the 
Turkish  lines  they  can  cover  a  retreat,  and  vr.ll 
secure  the  Kusslan  advanced  guard  at  Tirnova. 
and  prevent  a  turning  movement  of  the  euemy 
against  their  left  wing. 

The  Russian  position,  defensively  considered, 
has  consequently  become  stronger  than  It  was  a 
week  ago,  but  the  line  is  still  too  extended,  from 
Selvi,  through  Tepeva,  to  Paradlm,  and  thence 
to  Kreta,  on  the  \  id.  The  general  engagement 
here  will  certainly  not  be  fought  for  10  days  or 
a  fortnight,  unless  Osman  Pasha  assumes  the 
offensive,  as  is  indicated,  a.t^lnst  the  extreme 
Russian  right  flank.  Possibly  the  knowledge  of 
the  Turkish  commander  of  the  iuefliciency  of 
his  troops  for  anything  except  .strictly  defensive 
operation  is  the  cause  of  his  inaction  since  his 
victory  of  last  month,  and  may  prevent  the  ac- 
complishment of  a  brilliant,  although,  if  unsuc- 
cessful, a  dangerous  operation.  The  Rus.sians, 
as  usual,  are  bent  upon  making  another  mis 
take,  and  will  certainly  repeat  all  the  faults  and 
follies  of  their  previous  attacks.  The  immense 
distance  of  the  extremities  of  their  line  from 
each  other  and  from  the  centre  will  prevent'auy 
mutual  support,  and  although.  possl'Dly.  they 
may,  on  the  day  of  the  battle,  muster  a  force 
of  100.000  men.  they  will  certainly  fritter  It 
away  in  driblets  against  the  enemy  acting  in 
masses  and  protected  at  every  point  by  in- 
trenchments.  We  are,  however,  to  be  treated 
to  an  exhibition  of  "  high  art"  strategy 
in  the  shape  of  a  grand  turning  move- 
ment directed  against  the  Turkish  left  wing. 
It  is  not  quite  clear  how  this  pertormanoe  is  to 
be  conducted  on  a  scale  sufficiently  Important 
to  insure  its  success.  The  "turning"  Army 
will  expose  its  left  flank  during  the  march,  and 
leave  its  rear  to  be  threatened  from  Rahova  and 
Widdin,  unless  at  least  the  former  of  these 
places  be  taken  or  evacuated  before  the  move- 
ment commences,  as  is  not  likely,  there  being 
no  danger  of  Its  attack  from  the  left  bank, 
which  It  commands,  and  very  little  probability 
that  the  Russians  will  compromise  their  main 
plan  of  campaign  by  any  such  secondary  opera- 
tion as  Its  siege  or  assaulL  It  is  true  that  I  had 
almost  forgotten  the  Roumanian  cooperation. 
This  heroic  Army,  after  months  of  patient  wait- 
ing, has  at  last  received  permission  to  fight,  and 
can  now,  like  any  other  tub,  stand  upon  its  own 
bottom.  The  Russians  wanted  It  to  act  as  an 
auxiliary  force  under  Russian  direction,  but 
this  condition  has  been  withdrawn,  and  It  will 
act  under  Its  own  chiefs.  Gen.  Mano,  who  was 
their  great  war-horse,  because  he  had  graduated 
from  a  foreign  miMtary  school,  has  been 
placed  under  arrest  for  disobedience  of 
orders,  and  so  the  little  cloud  raised 
by  the  Ministerial  decision  not  to  "help  the 
Russians  "  unless  they  recognized  the  Rouma- 
nians, as,  at  least,  their  equals,  has  been  dis- 
sipated, and  everything  goes  on  harmoniously. 
There  is  even  a  report  current  that  one  of  their 
divisions  has  crossed  above  Rahova,  and  another 
still  higher  up  the  Danube,  to  operate  upon  the 
Turkish  rear ;  but  as  the  river  Is  about  1,000 
yards  wide,  as  they  have  neither  boots  nor 
bridges,  and  as  the  Roumanian  newspapers  an- 
nounce It  as  a  positive  fact,  no  one  believes 
one  word  of  the  stor}-. 

We  also  hear  that  the  Czar  has  left  the  Army 
and  Is  now  at  Frate.stl  near  Glurgevo,  It  is  Im- 
possible to  say  whether  he  Is  or  Is  not  there,but 
a  machine  for  making  Ice  has  been  sent  for- 
ward within  the  I^t  three  or  four  days  for  his 
special  service,  although  the  railway  employes 
are  instructed  to  declare  that  it  is  for  the  use  of 
the  ambulances.  The  Emperor's  butler  cer- 
tainly still  remains  at  head-quarters,  and  his 
agents  at  Sistova  and  Slmnltza  are  indefati- 
gable in  their  efforts  to  give  proper  food  to  their 
imperial  master  and  the  80  persons  who  com- 
pose his  regular  suite.  Special  couriers  bring 
down  fresh  food  and  all  the  delicacies  of  the  sea- 
son every  morning  from  Bucharest,  for  Bulga- 
ria just  nowis  not  nrecisely  a  land  fiowlng  In 
milk  and  honey.  The  Army,  Indeed,  Is  said,  and 
the  sources  of  my  information  are  too  Phllo- 
Rnsslan  to  be  disputed,  to  be  in  want  of  every- 
thing. The  men  refuse  to  eat  aught  but  bran 
or  rye  bread,  which  has  run  short,  the  wells  are 
dried  up,  and.  meat  in  sufficient  quantities ,  can- 
not always  be  procured.  Besides,  the  typhus 
.  has  broken  out,  and  with  it  the  dysentery ;  Qen. 


Ignatleff  Is  dangerously  111,  all  the  Imperial  aides 
de  camp  save  one  are  in  their  beds,  and  the  rank 
and  file  are  dropping  off  like  sheep  with  the 
miurain.  Still  the  men  and  officers  keep  up 
with  wonderful  fortitude ;  one  hears  no  mur- 
murs nor  complaints,  but  all  are  ready  to  ^ 
out  to  flght  and  die  for  their  Czar  and  their 
faith  as  cheerfully  as  if  they  were  marching 
only  to  the  parade  ground. 

The  campaign,  or  rather  this  phase  of  the 
campaign,  is  nearly  over ;  no  one  makes  any 
secret  of  tSe  fact  tfiat  all  trans-Balkhan  opera- 
tions are  abandoned,  at  least  for  this  year,  and 
that  after  a  renewal  of  their  efforts  against  the 
lines  of  Plevna,  which  will  be  persisted  in  at 
any  sacrifice  until  they  are  conquered,  the  in- 
vestment and  sieges  of  the  fortresses  of  Bul- 
garia win  be  regularly  undertaken,  even  If  these 
operations  entail  the  necessity  of  a  Winter  cam- 
paign. In  short,  we  are  about  to  see  a  mere 
repetition  of  the  performances  of  1828  and 
1829.  .

ME.  GLADSTONE  AND  THE  GREEKS — THE 
EOUM.VNIAN  SOLDIERS  INDISPOSED  TO  BE 
FLOGGED. 

London,  Aug.  27. — A  Belgrade  dispatch 
to  the  Tini'ji  pays  there  are  very  strong  Indica- 
tions that  Servia  will  again  try  the  fortunes  of 
war.  District  officfels  have  received  orders  not 
to  give  passpoils  to  any  militiamen  who  wish 
to  go  to  the  interior  or  abroad.  There  are  unin- 
terrupted dally  communications  with  the  Rus- 
sian head-quarters.  - 

Renter's  Belgrade  dispatch  dated  Monday, 
says,  at  a  Ministerial  Council  yesterday  at  which 
Prince  Milan  presided,  the  co-operation  of  the 
Servian  Army  with  the  Russians  in  Bul- 
garia was  determined  upon,  and  the 
commanders  of  the  various  corps 
were  nominated.  .A.  deputation  from  Servians 
now  taking  part  in  the  insurrection  in  Bosnia 
is  negotiating  with  the  Servian  Minister  of  War 
for  the  formation  of  a  Servian  free 
corps,  under  command  of  Servian  offi- 
cers; to  be  dispatched  to  the  insurgent 
c."imp  in  Bosnia,  Servia  at  the  same  time 
taking  the  entire  direction  of  the  Bosnian 
bands.  The  Servian  Government,  however, 
seems  unwilling  to  entertain  this  project.  Be- 
fore war  is  declared  against  Turkey  an  extraor- 
dinary session  of  the  Skuptschina  will  be  con- 
voked. The  Minlstrj-  has  taken  the  initiative  In 
proposing  war  In  order  to  unite  all  parties,  and 
should  the  Skuotschliia  approve  Its  course  a 
coalition  Ministry  will  be  formed.  Prince  Zes- 
cheff  has  arrived" in  Belgrade  from  the  Russian 
head-quartei"S,  and  is  conferring  with  Prince 
Milan,  Prime  Minister  Ristics,  and  the  Minister 
of  War. 

Renter's  telegram  from  Athens  has  the  fol- 
lowing :  "  It  is  said  that  the  King  of  Greece  wU 
shortly  proceed  to  the  frontier  to  inspect  the 
Army." 

The  second  edition  of  the  Dnihi  Telegraph 
prints  a  sensational  telegram  from  Pera,  alleg- 
ing that  Mr.  Gladstone  has  written  letters  to  a 
Greek  merchant  in  Constantinople,  urging  the 
Greeks  so  unite  with  the  Slavs  In  an  attack  oh 
the  Turks, 

The  'iiine^'  Vienna  dispatch  states  that  a  colli- 
sion almost  occurred  at  Xlkopolia  between  the 
Rus-sian  and  Roumanian  forces  in  consequence 
r;f  the  Russian  commandant  having  caused  a 
Roumanian  soldier  to  be  flogged.  Tift  denial 
now  given  by  the  Politisehe  Corre.'.-pofidem 
of  a  rumored  disagreement  between  the 
Roumanian  Government  and  the  Rassian  head- 
quarters probably  indicates  that  the  Russian 
he'ad-quaners  have  seen  that  things  have  been 
carried  too  far.  and  that  some  sort  of  satisfac- 
tion must  be  given  to  the  offended  feelings  of 
the  Roumanian  Army. 

■The  Moscow  GnziMe  announces  that  Prince 
Tcherkasskl's  removal  from  the  administration 
of  Bulgaria  is  imminent. 

London.  Aug.  2.S. — A  Belgrade  dispatch  to 
the  Times  says  :  "  Horvatovltch.  Commander- 
in-Chief  ef  the  Servian  Army,  arrived  here  yes- 
terday. Servia  and  Greece  will,  it  is  believed, 
take  up  arms  at  the  same  time.  Special 
envoys  from  Athens  are  expected  here. 

The  Times'  correspondent  at  Vienna  tele- 
graphs :  '•  From  the  preparations  that  are  going 
on  it  must  be  inferred  that  the  Servians  will 
prefer  employing  rather  a  smaller  force 
than  last  year,  but  one  possessing  some 
organization.  The  regular  Armv  is  estimated 
at  about  1 2.000  and  the  best  part  of  the  first- 
class  militia,  numbering  ~  altogether  about 
40.000  men.  seem  to  be  all  they  reckon  upon. 
The  force  Is  to  be  concentrated  at  Saltschar  and 
In  the  Morava  Valley  toward  Nisch. 

The  military  correspomlcnt  of  the  Times 
at  Bucharest"  writes  under  date  of  -Aug. 
25  as  follows:  "At  present  the  indi- 
cations are  that  the  Roumanians  will 
act  under  Russian  orders.  They  have  h^en 
crossing  yesterday  and  tcwiay  over  the  bridge 
at  Korabia  in  order  lo  operate  m  the  roar 
of  Plevna.  It  is  also  announced  that 
a  brigade  of  Infantry,  with  a  battery  of  artil- 
lery and  three  regiments  of  cavalry  have 
crossed  at  Turnu  Magurelli."

Special  Dispatch  to  thcNea.  York  Times.  -" 
ScRANTON,  Penn.,  Aug,  27. — Pursuant  to 
a  call  issued  by  the  Chairman,  P.  Sweeney, 
about  1,000  of  the  miners  aiid  laborers  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Coal  Company  at  Pittston  as- 
sembled at  10  o'clock  this  morning  in  a  small 
grove  on  the  outskirts  of  the  town.  The  object 
of  the  meeting  was  to  consider  the  reply  of 
President  Hoyt  to  their  recent  demand  of  23 
per  cent,  advance  in  their  wages,  and  to  take 
action  thereon.  Besides  the  Pennsylvania  Coal 
Company's  employes  there  were  present  at 
least  200  or  300  outsiders,  a  few  of  whom 
were  drawn  thither  by  curiosity,  but  most 
of  whom  came  In  the  capacity  of  "  bull-dozers," 
In  which  they  subsequently  demonstrated  great 
-proficiency.  The  men  sat  npon  the  grass  In 
large  sweeping  circles  facing  the  Chairman, 
who  stood  in  the  centre  and  exercised  remarka- 
ble influence  in  -keeping  order  in  the  great  con- 
course. After  stating  the  object  of  the  meet- 
ing, the  Chairman  invited  open  and  serious  dLs- 
cusslon  of  the  Important  question  which  so  vi- 
tally concerned  them  all,  and  which,  moreover, 
involved  the  interests  of  thousands  of  fellow- 
laborers  who  were  to  be  guided  entirely  by 
their  decision,  speaking  advisedly  on  the 
subject.  He  hoped  that  it  would  be 
calmly  and  judiciously  con.sidered,  and 
that  no  man  present  would  invito  the  accusa- 
tion of  fear  or  cowardice  by  withholding  a  free 
expression  of  his  own  convictions  in  the  matter. 
Had  this  la^t  advice  been  heeded,  the  final  is.su6 


ities  to  all  parts  of  the  world ;  and  the  extension 
of  b-uch  reductions  might  be  fatal  to  negotistionB. 
The  fears  of  the  Americans  In  this  respect  are 
probably  overstrained.  Even  If  it  were  true, 
they  would  not  really  suffer.  The  Times  does  not 
know  whether  the  idea  Is  entertained  that  the 
fisheries  disputes  should  be  settled  by  negotia- 
tions for  a  new  treaty.  Iir  view  of  this  possi- 
bility, it  suggests  that  whatever  negotiations 
are  attempted  should  be  confided  to  the  Canadi- 
ans, the  lUtimate  ratification  being  left  to  Eng- 
land. With  this  all  should  be  reasonably  con- 
tent. The  Times  remembers  many  mishaps 
arising  from  ignorance  or  forgetfulness  of  Can- 
adian interests,  and  would  be  glad  if  it  could  be 
persuaded  that  the  suspension  of  the  extradition 
-treaty  would  be  the  last  of  them."

for  a  large  Fall  trade  In  this  city  are  extraordi-

BEAVr  ASSESSMENT  IN  KINGSTON. 
Kingston,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  27. — The  tax- 
payers of  this  city  are  greatly- exercised  over 
the  tax  assessment  this  year,  and  a  public  meet- 
ing is  called  for  to-morrow  evening  to  consider 
what  can  be  done  about  it.  In  accordance  with 
the  recommendation  of  the  State  Assessors  the 
Assessors  of  the  city  rated  real  estate  at  its  full 
value,  as  near  as  could  be  arrived  at,  adopting 
as  a  rule  an  average  raise  of  350  per  cent ,  which 
brought  the  total  assessment  of  the  city  up  to 
$12,000,000.  The  Assessors  of  the  different 
to^vns  also  raised  their  rates,  but  the  average  Is 
only  50  per  cent.,  some  of  them  being  put  up 
GO,  70,  and  90  per  cent.,  while  others  are  rated 
at  the  same  rates  as  formerly,  the  Assessors  in- 
sisting that  the  farms  would  not  sell  for  more  than 
they  were  rated  for  last  year,  although  that  was 
supposed  to  be  only  one-third  their  actual  value. 
The  consequence  of  this  unequal  raising  of  as- 
sessments is  that  the  City  of  Kingston  will 
have  to  pay  nearly  one-half  the  taxes  of  the 
county  and  the  county's  share  of  the  State's 
taxes,  whereas  formerly  she  had  to  pay  a  little 
less  than  one-third  of  the  same.  The  city  tax 
will  thereby  be  increased  about  one-sixth.  An 
effort  was  made  to  remedy  the  matter  at  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Common  Council,  but  under 
a  ruling  that  that  body  could  not  direct  the  As- 
sessors, nothing  was  done.  The  tax-payers, 
meanwhile,  are  considerably  stirred  up  about  it, 
but  there  does  not  seem  to  be  any  remedy  this 
year  at  leaat.

Whitehall,  N,  T.,  Aug.  27.— A  box,  con- 
taining the  notes  Btoton  &om  the  KeesAville  National 
Bank,  was  zvtunied  to  them  by  express  to-day.  The 
robbeiB  also  inclosed  a  letter  saying  the  mouev  had 
been  disposed  of  and  the  bonds  were  where  all  the 
detectives  in  Ameiie*  could  not  find  them- 


of  the  meeting  would  undoubtedly  have  been  \  quite  drunk.  He  has  expostulated  with  her 
reversed ;  but  nO  one  in  favor  of  working  at  the 
old  rates  of  compensation  dared  to  speak,  and 
the  few  who  4id  express  themselves  thus  are 
now  under  the  most  vehement  threats.  After 
considerable  waiting,  one  man  made  a  brief 
speech  In  favor  of  striking,  arguing 
that  they  might  as  well  starve  idle  as  work- 
ing, and  that  they  had  trusted  the  company's 
generosity  long  enough  and  without  avail.  He 
W.1S  followed  by  another,  who  spoke  in  defense 
of  the  company,  reminding  his  hearers  that  they 
had  uniformly  been  far  more  generous  than  any 
other  corporation  In  the  valley,  and  he  believed 
would  do  as  well  by  them  as  it  could. 

It  was  then  moved  that  branch  meetings  of 
the  various  collieries  represented  be  held,  apart, 
as  a  conclusion  would  thus  be  arrived  at  that 
would  be  worth  something.  The  motion  pre- 
vailed, and  17  different  groups  formed 
theraselves  out  of  the  main  assembly.  The  men 
talked  and  argued  with  one  another,  earnestly, 
though  with  calfeiess  and  brevity.^  A  vote  was 
taken  by  holding  up  the  hands,  aBiJ-»o^qiu»lly 
divided  was  the  sentiment  that  the  vote  was 
nearly  a  tie.  \Vhen  It  is  rein^mbered  that,  the 
entire  number  of  employes  i^bout  3.,'it>0,  and 
that  only  about  1, 0(10  of  theih.  had  ayolce  In 
this  matter,  and  that  of  this  l,00O  a  l»j%e 
number  of  those  In  favor  of  work  did  not  vote, 
through  fear,  thus^- allowing  the  actual 
minority  to  rule,  it  is  a  cause  of 
deep  regret  to  all  who  value  liberty  of 
voice  and  action  that  the  fear  of  the  threats  of 
their  fellows  should  have  caused  the  majority 
of  the  company's  employes  to  be  overruled.  Of 
the"  17  branch  groups"  10  nominally  voted  in 
favor  of  a  strike  and  7  in  favor  of  work.  A 
committee  was  accordingly  chosen  to  notify  the 
company  of  this  decision,  and  as  President 
Hoyt  wrote  tljat  there  would  be  no  work  what- 
eve"r  unless  the  great  majority  of  the  miners  re- 
quest It.  the  situation  is  clearly  defined.  The 
miners  in  favor  of  the  strike  are  i^ejoicing  even 
in  their  great  poverty,  but  the  men  who  want  to 
work  and  who  have  large  families  to  support 
deeply  regret  the  result  reached. 

The  effects  of  t'uls  strike  are  very  extensive, 
a-s  It  involves  not  only  the  miners  but  all  the 
men  who  are  employed  on  the  railroad  that  con- 
veys the  coal  to  Hawley,  30  miles  distant  The 
number  of  these  is  large,  and  altogether  4,500 
or  5.000  persons  \^^U  "be  out  of  employment 
for  a  long  time,  if  the  expressions  of  the  com- 
pany are  any  Indication.  President  Hoyt  saj-s 
there  Is  no  profit  in  selling  coal  at  the  present 
prices,  and  he  is  in  favor  of  a  suspension, 
unless  labor  costs  less  than  it  has.  The 
outlook  is  therefore  gloomy,  and  the  business  of 
the  valley  suffers"  severely.  The  employes  of 
several  small  companies  have  heretofore  been 
guided  by  the  Pennsylvania  tCoal  Company's 
men,  and  what  theylmay  do  remains  for  the  fu- 
ture to  disclose.

PRACTICAL    END      OP     THE     STRIKE     IK    THE 
LEHIGH  BEOIOX. 

Hazelton,  Penn.,  Aug.  27. — ^Linderman, 
Skeer  &  Co.'s  three  collieries  at  Stockton  w; 
resume  work  to-morrow,  practically  on  tlte^me 
terms  as  those  under  which  the  men^  Pardee 
&  Co.  have  been  working  during/  the  strike. 
These  terms  provide  for  the  restoration  of  the 
1 2^2  percent,  reduction  on  the^st  of  »Septem- 
ber,  the  advatice  in  the  price  of  coal  ha\'1ng  war- 
ranted this  action.  C.  F.  Shoener  &  Co.'s 
miners  at  Beaver  Sleadow  resumed  work  to-day, 
the  12l2*per  cent,  reduction  having  been 
restored,  with  the  understanding  that  after 
Sept.  1  the  wages  shall  be  controlled  by  the 
pnee  of  coal,  thereby  virtually  returning  to  the 
^  old  basis  or  sliding  scale.  These  arrangements 
end  the  strike  in  the  Lehigh  regions.  The 
difference  of  the  plans  pursued  by  different 
companies  shows  an  absence  of  combination 
amoni;  operators,  each  having  evidently  deter- 
mined to  act  independently. 

RECIPROCITY  WITH  CANADA, 


ENGLISH  PRESS  VIEWS  ON"  THE  QUESTION^ 
THE  DIFFICULTIES — ^WHAT  THE  CAiCA- 
DIAXS  MIGHT  COKSENT  TO. 

Toronto,  Ontario,  Aug.  27. — The  Toronto 
Glohe  has  a  special  cable  dispatch  from  London 
as  follows:  ''The  LdBdon  Twries  of  Saturday 
has  an  editorial  on  the  subject  of  reciprocity 
between  Canada  and  the  United  States,  in  which 
that  journal  maintains  that  the  preservation  of 
a  Customs  frontier  is  a  troublesome  task  that 
can  never  be  perfectly  fulfilled,  that  it  is  im- 
possible to  overhaul  every  petty  act  of  commerce 
between  the  two  t^nitories,  and  if  it  were  pos- 
sible to  do  80  ^e  cost  would  be  enormously  in 
excess  of  the  gains.  If  the  two  Governments 
could  agree  on  terms  nj)on  which  the  Customs 
Une  could  be  abolished,  it  would  be  a  consum- 
mation attended  with  many  advantages.  Eng- 
land would  certainly  not  stand  -ha  the  way,  but 
the  end  might  not  be  so  easily  reached^ as  it  may 
seem.  ■  In  former  attempts  lo  negotiate  a  new 
treaty  the  negotiators  lost  themselves  in  bar- 
ren mquiries  into  the  bal&nce  of  trade,  and  this 
probably  would  be  the  case  if  fresh  negotiationB 
were  started.  It  Is  probable  that  after  some  hag- 
gling the  Canadians  would  consent  to  the  intro- 
duction of  the  manufactures  of  the  States  at 
lower  duties  than  those  now  levied,  but  would 
extend  the  same  reductions  on  simjlttr  conun^d- 


on  her  bad  disposition  but  all  in  vain.  She  has 
frequently  boen  drunk  to  unconsciousness.  In 
IS  months  he  has  found  her  twice  in  a  drunken 
stupor.  On  the  4th  of  July  he  found  her  foam- 
ing at  the  mouth  and  unconscious  from 
liquor.  When  under  the  influence  of  liquor 
she  is  of  a  violent  temper.  She  becomes 
frantic  and  acts  like  an  insane  per- 
son. On  one  occasion  she  attacked 
him,  and  pulled  out  his  whiskers,  and  at  an- 
other time  she  thrust  a  pin  deep  in  his  shoul-, 
dor.  *' Deponent  further  says  that  within  the 
last  year  the  plaintiff  has  been  quilty  of  un- 
seemly and  lewd  conduct :  that  he  has  been  in- 
formed and  believes  that  she  has  frequently 
lu'en  out  of  his  house  at  unseasonable  hours  of 
the  night  with  other  men,  and  has  been 
seen  in  such  positions  and  under 
such  circumstances  from  which  he  is 
justiifled  in  believing  her  guilty  of  adultery,  the 
particulars  of  which  will  he  stated  at  the  proper 
time."  He  believes  her  morally  and  physically 
unfit  to  have  the  care  of  her  child, and  says  he  is 
worth  $40,000. 

Lena  Fiejller,  the  nurse  girl,  and  with  whom 
Mr.  Mitchell  i.srharged  with  being  intimate,  al- 
so makes  an  affidavit  in  which  she  says  that  in 
the  past  two  years  she  has  seen  Mrs,  Mitchell 
drink  frequently  at  the  Plankinton  Hotel  in 
Milwaukee.  at  the  Metropolitan  Hotel 
in  New-York,  and  elsewhere.  She  was 
drunk  four  sncressive  days  at  the 
Palace  Hotel  in  San  Francisco,  and 
on  the  cars  last  month  was  so  drunk  as  to  be 
unconscious.  At  the  hotels  she  always  ordered 
her  drinks  sent  to  her  room.  When  the  plain- 
tiff boarded  at  the  Plankinton  House  she  re- 
ceived calls  from  young  men  at  late  hours  of 
the  night.  On  three  occasions  she  came  home 
early  in  the  morning  with  a  man  not  her  hus- 
band. On  one  occasion  she  came  home  at  1 
o'clock  in  the  morning  witTi  a  married  man 
and  remained  in  her  bedroom  with  him  two 
hours. 

Alexander  Mitchell,  father  of  the  d^endant, 
also  makes  an  affidavit  in  which  he  ^ys  he  has 
kuown  of  the  plaintiff  being  unders^heipfljj- 
ence  of  liquor,  and  that  she  is  incomp^^St  to 
cAre  for  her  child.  He  recites  two  attempts  on 
her  part  to  kidnap  the  child,  and  refers  to  her 
threat  to  finally  secure  the  child.  Other  affi- 
davits from  Mrs.  Mitchell's  servants  ftre  to  the 
same  effect.  Mrs.  Mitchell  asked  an 
order  for  a  change  of  venue  to 
the  County  Court.  She  has  charged 
.Tiidge  Small,  of  the  Circuit  Court,  with  preju- 
dice. The  request  for  a  change  of  venue  was 
granted.  Extraordinary  efforts  to  settle  the 
case  have  been  mttiie  ^during  the  past  week. 
Ex-United  StatSS  Senator  Carpenter,  in  behadf 
of  Mrs.  Mitchell,  has  been  in  consultation  with 
Alexander  Mitchell,  and  it  was  supposed  a 
compronriise  had  been  effected.  If  the  suit  con- 
tinues, it  will  brinff  in  a  large  number  of  promi- 
nent people  of  boui  sexes  as  witnesses.

DIAMOND  ROBBEET  IN  BOSTON — FLIGHT  OP 
THE  ROBBERS  TO  EUROPE. 
Boston,  Mass.,  Aug.  27. — The  Berald  says 
that  three  years  ago  H.  Cohenno  began  business 
in  this  city  as  a  diamond  cntter  and  polisher  in 
connection  with  a  branch  office  in  New-York. 
Business  increasing,  some  three  months  since, 
he  took  into  partnership  Samuel  B.  Hegt,  of 
New-York,  and  employed  his  cousin.  B.  J.  Hegt, 
as  a  cutter.  A  week  ago  Friday,  Samuel 
Hegt  went '  to  Philadelphia  with  several 
valuable  diamonds  to  sell  for  the  Arm.  On 
Friday  last  he  wrote  Cohenno  to  come 
to  Philadelphia  at  once  on  important 
business.  Cohenno  failed  to  find  him,  and,  sus- 
pecting mischief,  returned  to  this  city  yester- 
day, and  found  that  the  safe  had  been  opened 
in  his  absence  and  $10,000  worth  of  diamonds, 
bonds,  and  a  large  amount  of  jewelry  abstract- 
ed. Visiting  the  home  of  the  Hegta  he  found 
that  both  had  fled  with  their  families,  takine 
the  steamer  for  Liverpool  Saturday.  This  bold 
and  guece^ul  robb»y  ruins  Cohenno  finan- 
cially, and  throws  out  of  employment  a  number 
of  expert  diamond  cutters  and  DoUihera. 


fldenee  in  ther  individual  ability  to  win.  AD 
three  are  in  splendid  condition.  Courtney  looks; 
a  trifle  overwork&l.  He  is  thinuer  than  he  was  i 
at  Greenwood  Lake,  and  his  eyes  are  not  so; 
clear  as  they  might  bo.  At  first  he  said  bo, 
never  felt  better  in  hLs  .  life,  '  bat  when 
I  ventured  to  express  my  doubts,  h© 
acknowledge*!  tliat  he  had  not  quite  recovered 
from  the  cffecLs  of  his  dosing  at  Greenwood 
Lake,  and  said  that  he  will  be  obliged  to  start 
off  more  slowly  in  consequence,  for  fear  o£ 
pumping  himself  out  too  quick.  He  is  a  little 
afraid,  too,  of  Plaiste<l.  whose  ability  he  has 
the  highest  respect  for.  For  Uiley  he  carea 
nothing,  and  s,iys  he  will  beat  hlra  with  ease. 
He  assured  me,  however,  tliat  he  will  strain 
every  nerve  to  win.  He  .says  that  after  what 
the  newspapers  have  s;iid  of  him  recently,  defeat 
means  ruin  to  him,  no  matter  if  his  time 
is  better  than  the  best  on  rec/»rd.  He  is  en- 
tirely willing  to  take  all  bets  on  his  chances, 
but  refuses  the  odds  current  here  to-night  on 
tho  ground  that  they  are  not  fair.  He  say» 
that  he  and  Plaisted  .should  sell  even,  with  Ri. 
ley  onlv  a  little  below. 

Plaisted  is  twice  as  good  a  man  in  appearance 
as  he  was  when  he  rowed  on  Greenwood  Lake 
la«t  year.  It  is  said  among  boating  men  that 
his  improvement  in  rowing  has  kept  pace  with 
his  looks.  He  stands  a  verj-  good 
chance  of  carrying  off  tho  prize  to- 
morrow if  he  piills  to  win.  Tho  trou- 
ble is  that  his  backer  is  reported  to  "be  put- 
ting up  money  on  C-ourtney.  and  it  is  not  too 
much  to  say  that  Plaisted  will  do  as  he  is  told, 
especially  as  defeat  can  do  him  no  harm  profns- 
siwnally.'  I  do  not  know  why  Riley  should  have 
fallen  so  in  public  estimation  as  the  pools  indi- 
cate. As  far  as  looks  go  he  is  fit  to  row  any- 
body, and  his  last  performance  should  tell  in  his 
favor.  It  is  given  out  here  that  the  Neptune 
Club  are  refusing  to  put  their  ■  money  on 
him.  This  may  be  the  reason.  He  tells 
me  he  has  a  sure  thing.  Courtney  is  the  favor- 
ite here  to-night  at  big  odds.  Some  pools  were 
sold  this  afternoon  at  Moons  Lake  Ilouse.  I

Courtney  will  use  shorter  ones  than  he  has

9  feet  9  inches  in  length.  Courtney  puts  np  at 
Moon's.  Plaisted  at  Abel's,  aud  Kiley  at  Meyer's. 
They  have  been  practicing  ever  since  they  came 
here,  the  weather  having  been  unusually  pro- 
pitious during  the  last  two  weeks.  They  all  ex- 
press themselves  well  satisfied  with  the  w  iy 
they  have  been  treated  here  and  with  the  ni  e- 
cautions  that  have  been  taken  to  save  them  i.n- 
noyance.  Courtney  says  there  net^l  be  no  fear 
of  auv  fiasco  from  out*ide  sources  to-raorrow. 

It  looks  to-night  as  though  there  will  be  still 
another  dav  of  f avertible  weather.  The  race  is 
to  take  place  between  11  A.  31.  and  1  P.  M. 
Sbould  the  water  be  too  rough  between  those 
hours,  it  will  be  postponed  until  the  iiiMt  fine 
day.  All  the  preparations  of  sight-seeing  have 
been  completed.  In  addition  to  tlie  immense 
crowd  of  pleasure-seekers  now  staying  at  the 
Springs,  it  is  expected  that  to-morrow  morn- 
ing's train  will  bring  thousands  of  boating  i>eo- 
ple.  Thirteen  special  sleeping  cars  are  to 
be  run  from  Buffalo,  i  and  a  train 
of  1(>  special  cars  -  MriH  be  sent 
from  Albany  and  Troy.  Boston,  too.  will 
seiid  a  goo<l  delegation  of  Plaisted's  friends,  and 
New-York  will  undoubtedly  show  up  heavy  for 
Riley.  Capt.  W.  B.  Curtis,  of  Chicago,  has  been 
chosen  as  refefee.  The  feeling  is  that  there 
will  be  a  race,  and  a  gc»od  one.

JUSTICE  FIELD  AND  TEE  REPORTERS. 

rNSUCCESSFUL  ATTEMPT  TO  •  INDUCE  A  SU- 
PREME COURT  JUDGE  TO  DIVXILQE  THL 
SECRETS  OP  THE  ELECTORAL  COMMISSION. 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Aug.  27. — A  few 
days  ago  tho  Daily  Exchange  published  a  reply 
from  Justice  Field,  of  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court,  to  an  article  recently  ifublished  5n  the 
New- York  Sim,  charging  Justice  Bradley  with 
having  read  an  opinion  to  'Justices  FieM 
and  Clifford  to  tlie  effect  that  the  Electoral 
vote  of  Florida  should  be  given  to  Tilden 
and  Hendricks,  the  Democratic  nominees,  and 
reversing  his  conclusion  without  alteration  of 
the  premises  or  arguments.  A  cumber  of 
attempts  have  been  made  by  representatives  of 
the  press  to  interview  Justijce  Field  on  the  sub- 
ject, but  he  has  uniformly  refiL^ed  to  say  any- 
thing, and  in  most  cases  has  declined  to  se^. 
them  altogether.  The  Exchange  t».day  publishes 
an  interview  n;th  Justice  Field-  He  at  fllrat  de- 
murred to  giving  any  statement  whatever, 
but  finally  said,  after  some  reflection  and 
speaking  with  great  deliberation,  **Well,  Sir; 
all  that  1  care  to  say  with  regard  to  that  is  that 
Jujstice  Bradley  read  " — with  peculiar  emphasis 
on  the  word  read — "  Justice  Bradley  read  no 
opinion  to  me  in  advance  of  the  formal  submis- 
sion of  the  opinions  to  the  Commission.  Be- 
yond that  I  think  it  would  be  improper  for  me 
to  say  anything.  If  I  should  enter  upon 
the  subject  I  shotild  probably  say  a  great 
deal  more  than  I  wish  to  say."  "I  Sink 
I  comprehend  yonr  reply,"  said  the  inter- 
viewer. •*  The  point  you  make  is,  that  tho 
opinion  which  the  .Stm. says  was  submitted  to 
you  and  Justice  Clifford  in  writing  was  not  so 
written.  It  was  a  mere  verbal  communication 
of  the  opinioii  which  J nstice  Bradley  had  arrived 
at  "  To  this  the  Justice  replied :  **  Yon  have 
my  answer ;  all  the  answer  I  can  now  make. 
Justice  Bradley  did  not  read"  (again  emphasiz- 
ing the  word  "read")  "any  opinion 
to  me,  as  alleged."  "  Very  well.  Sir,"  contin- 
'ued  the  questioner,  "there  can  be  no  objection 
to  my  calling  attention  in  my  publication  of  this 
conversation  to  the  emphasis  you  put  on  the 
word  read.  That  will  make  the  signlficanee  of 
your  reply  as  clear  to  the  reader  aa  it  is  now  to 
me."  ^'You  have  all  the  answer  I  have  to 
make,"  persisted  the  Justice ;  ''  I  will  not  dis- 
cuss the  matter  in  any  of  its  details."  In  the 
course  of  some  further  conversation,  the  Justice 
urged  his  preference  not  to  be  dragged  into  the 
controversy  at  all ;  said  he  regretted  that  hi« 
name  had  been  used,  as  he  was  associated  with 
Justice  Bradley  on  the  bench  of  the  Cnlted 
States  Supreme  Court,  and  it  would  be  exceed- 
ingly unpleasant  were  their  social  relations  dis- 
turbed by  such  controversy.  He^soem^iatieaUy

Sabatoga.  N.  T.,  Aug.  27. — The  first  day  of 
the  extra  ineethig  ^M  one  of  great  Interest  to  tnrf- 
Ites;  and  sneeesitfal  as  re^arda  both  the  stt^ndanee  of 
spectators  afid  the  exciting  character  of  the  racing. 
The  weather  was  bright  and  warm,  without  the  op- 
presBiTeness      whieh      dlstiugoished       8ataTda}''a 
hent,      and    tl-e    track    being    in    splendid    order. 
the      four      contests       wera       run       in       fast 
time,  anl  the  only  great  ^'isaster  o*  the  day  iv^a  the 
final  race,  in  which  the  favorite  finished  last.    Pique 
won  the  2-year  old  sweepstakea,   and  the  Wostem 
men   are  now  satisfied  that  Bramble's  Tlctory  in  the 
^Hratoga  Stakes,  which  created  so  much  of  a  sensa- 
tion, was  a  decided  scr-itch.    The  mntoal  pools  paid 
as  follows  on  the  sereral  events  :    First  race.  Pique, 
59  40  :  second  race,    Rappahannock,   $9  70 ;  third 
ra^e,  Bradjunante.   $17  10.    ani  fourth  raee,    Ber- 
tram. .?2S  70.    The  foUoiring  are  the  details  of  the 
racins ; 

T;rE  THRKE-<JUARTKB  STTBTIPSTAKIS. 
The  first  affair  to  attract  attention  was  the  sweep- 
stakes for  2-year  olds,  three-quarters  of  a  mile,  whleb 
was  gotten  np  for  the  purpose  of  deciding  the  re- 
spective merits  of  gamble  and  Pnde  of  the  VHIitge, 
.ifter  the  latter  had  so  easily  won  the  Kentucky 
Stakes.  It  will  lie  remembered  that  the  Bramble 
p»rty  offered  to  match  that  colt  against  Mr.  Aster's 
r'illy.  but  ilr.  Efalers,  the  representative  of  Mr.  As- 
if*v.  det'lined,  proposing  instead  a  sweepstakes  of 
f  250  pRc-h,  and  the  association  added  $406,  with  the 
provisi«m  that  three  or  more  start.  The  second 
.■inr5,o  wa-r  to  save  his  stake.  The  entries  were 
Pierre  Lorillanl's  b.  f.  Pique,  J.  "W.  Crawford's  b.  c 
Urarahle,  and  William  Astor's  ch.  f.  Pride  of  the 
Villaffp.  The  latter,  however,  has  eone  a  little  lame, 
arid  was  scratched,  and  thi*»  altered  the  condition  of 
the  stake  considerably.  The  $400  offered  by  the 
ssAociation  was  withdrawn,  and  all  that  Bramble  and 
linno  ran  for  was  the  $250  forfeit  of  Pride  of  the 
Villace  aud  tlieir  own  stake.  The  betting  on  the 
T'^sult  was  very  tlnctuAting.  Bramble  waa  the  favor- 
ite at  tirst,  and  then  Pique  brought  the  most  money, 
Biul  in  the  last  pool  they  sold  for  $100  each.  They 
wi?re  started  in  the  chute,  and  when  the  flag  fell 
Ilruralilo  had  a  lenjjth  the  best  of  It,  and 
f»hi»t  down  to  the  half-mile  pole  very  fast,  turning 
into  the  re^ilar  track  a  length  and  a  half  in  front  of 
Pique.  Imi  coming  rotmd  the  lower  turn  the  filly 
I'losed  to  Bramble "s  tail,  and  was  at  his  quarter  when 
they  turned  into  the  homestretch.  At  the  furlong 
pole  tliey  were  even,  and  then  Bramble  began  to 
^}iow  the  white  feather  and  received  the  whip.  The 
filly  easily  came  away  from  him,  and  won  in  the 
•■H>:o«;t  manner  possible,  by  three  lengths,  in  1:10^. 
The  Bramble  party  were  considerably  taken  aback  at 
thp  ea^y  manner  in  which  he  was  iMspoaed  of,  for 
uhich,  however,  they  had  no  excuses  to  offer. 
THE  TWO  MILES. 

The  second  event  on  the  card  was  a  free  handicap 
for  all  ages,  dash  of  two  miles,  which  had  five  entries, 
but  Oriole  had  lost  form  and  was  scratched."  which 
left  in  C.  W.  Medinjier's  "Wash  Booth,  D.  McDaniels' 
3l3jor  Barker,  Doswell's  Rappahannock,  and  Hart's 
H^arj-  Owens.  There  was  a  general  plunge  made 
upon  Rappahannock  which  the  hanulcap  hanily  war- 
runted,  but  the  heavy  speculators  had  confidence  in 
his  ability  to  stay  the  distance  better  than  the  others, 
sad  consequently  lie  was  a  heavy  favorite,  briugini; 
in  the  pcK>!B  $4(H>,  Major  Barker  being  second 
choice  at  S170,  Wash  Booth  at  31QSr  and  Henry 
Owens,  $30.  Tho  first  effort  was  a  success,  an^ 
when  the  signal  was  given  XlAppahannoek  was  in  the 
lead.  Henr>'  Owens  second.  Major  Barker  third,  and 
Wash  Booth  fourth.  As  they  ran  round  the  turn. 
Rappahannock  set  the  pace  himKalf,  as  the  others 
TC-ere  not  inclined  to  so  on,  and  he  was  soon  two 
lensrtfas  in  front,  while  Wash  Booth  had  taken  the 
second  place,  and  was  a  length  ahead  o£  Henry 
Owens,  who  was  two  lengths  before  Major  Barker. 
They  ran  to  the  quarter  pole  in  the  same  order,  but 
\Vji*.h  Booth  had  g«3t  to  the  tail  of 
Rnpn.ihannuck,  and  was  half  a  length 
fun  her  away  from  Henry  Owens.  Oolng 
slonc  the  back  stretch  Rapptthannock  and  Wash 
Uttoth  i:«tt  six  lengths  away  from  the  others, 
ind  then  Rappahannock  shook  ofif  Booth  and  led  him 
two  If-ntrths  at  the  half-mile  pole,  Owens  still  hoIdloK 
■.iie  third  place,  five  lengths  behind  Booth,  and  a 
.en^Ih  and  a  half  before  Major  Barker.  As  they 
jainc  round  the  lower  turn  they  got  a  little  elpser  to- 
kTf  ther.  and  when  they  turned  into  the  home  [stretch 
kappaliannock  wa<f  but  a  length  ahead,  but  'coming 
up  toward  the  stand  Spillman  set  anil  wSh-  the 
favorite  aifain  and  finished  the  first  mile  four'tFtigths 
in  advance  of  Wash  Booth,  who  was  three  lengths 
ahead  of  Major  Barker,  who  had  passed  Henry 
( twens  and  was  leading  him  two  lengths.  Going 
round  the  tuni  I^ppahannock  increased  his  lead  and 
was  sweeping  along  extended  at  his  best  to  the  quar- 
ter pole,  where  lie  was  showing  the  route  six  lengths 
in  t^nt  of  Wash  Booth,  who  was  leading  Major 
Barker  a  len^h.  the  larter  being  four  lengths  away 
from  Henry  Owen.s.  There  was  little  change  along 
the  back  stretch  to  the  half-mile  pole,  where  Rappa- 
hannock still  led  half  a  dozen  lenetbs. 
hut  com  ing  round  the  lower  turn 
there  was  something  of  a  change  as 
^S'a*h  Booth  closed  up  the  gap  between  him  and  Rap- 
jiabannonk,  swooping  down  upon  the  latter  very  fast 
Tintil  th**y  reached  the  three-quarter  pole,  where 
tlu-y  W(-renc>e  and  tail,  while  both  3I^or  Barker  and 
Htiiry  Owens  were  beaten.  When  they  came  up  the 
Ktrelcli  Rappahannock  had  the  Inelae,  and  Booth 
(':uiie  up  to  him  past  the  fnrlong  pole,  but  at  the 
l.iT.er  end  of  the  Omnd  Stand  B<^tn  crowded  Rap- 
7>abannofk  into  the  fone«  and  threw  the  farorite  out 
•  >f  hi.-*  stride,  and  creasing  in  tront,  reached  the  Boal 
ft  lenzth  in  front  of  Rappahannock,  who  was  fotir 
Jen^ihs  ahead  of  Major  Barker,  Henry  Owens  beaten 
u:?.  The  foul  was  so  pidpable  that  the  judges  could 
not  do  oilienvise  than  give  the  race  to  Rappahan- 
nock and  platro  Barker  >;econd  and  Henry  Owena 
third.  Of  course,  there  was  a  "grand  kick"  among 
the  backers  of  Booth,  but  the  judges  were  snstainecl 
by  everj-  impartial  person  present.  The  time  was 
a':40^'the  first  mile  being  run  in  1:54. 

THE   MILE   AXD   AX   EIGHTH. 

The  third  affair  was  a  free  handicap  sweepstakes 
of  a  mile  and  an  eighth,  for  all  asces,  which  brotight 
to  the  post  all  the  entries,  viz. :  Snediker's  Cuba,  Mc* 
Daniels  Sister  of  Jlercy,  Dixon  Se  Wimmer's  Brada- 
manie.  and  L.  Hart's  Cleramie  G-  This  was  an  excel- 
lent ijfitine  TJice.  although  Bradamante  was  a  strong 
favorite.  The  field  sold  over  her  considerably,  how- 
ever, as  follows;  Bradamante.  $300;  Sister  of 
3!ercy.  $170:  Cleramie  G..  $150,  and  Cuba.  $145. 
Tliey  were  started  from  the  furlong  poie,  and  Sister 
<.r  iltri-y  was  in  the  van,  with  Bradamante  second. 
(."oming'lrt  tlie  stand.  Sister  of  3Iercy  was  a  neck 
aLetul  of  Clemmie  O..  who  was  a  length  ahead  of 
lJrfid.im&nte,  with  Cuba  in  the  rear.  As  they  round- 
ed the  upper  turn  Clemmie  G.  pulled  to  the  front, 
."^ister  of*  Mercy  l>eiug  under  a  pull.  Bradamante 
folli.wed  into  'the  second  position,  and  when  they 
rfjwh'*d  the  quarter  pole  Bradamante  has  assumed 
the  front  place,  and  showing  half  a  length  before 
I'iemniie  O..  who  was  a  length  and  a  half  ahead  of 
Sister  of  Mercy,  who  was  two  lengths  tefore  Cuba. 
<ioinc  a.lnng  the  back  Ktretch.  Bradamante  shook  oflf 
Clemmie  G..  and  opened  a  gap  of  half  alength,  while 
the  same  distance  divided  Olemmie  (i.  mA  Sister  of 
Merry.  At  the  half-mile  pole  Bradamrnte  still  held 
her  lead,  and  coming  round  the  lower  turn  she  in- 
creased it  to  two  lengths,  while  Sister  of  Jlercy  came 
I'p  and  reached  the  widdle-girth  ot  Clemmie  G.,  and 
Cuba  but  a  length  behind.  With  all  their  struggling 
they  could  not  get  near  to  Bradamante,  who  came  un 
the  home  slrttch  well  in  hand,  and  won  the  race  with 
consummate  esse  bv  three  lengt  s  in  1:5S^  Clem- 
mie G.  second,  two  lengths  ahead  ©faster  of  Meroy, 
wi:o  bent  Cuba  out  a  neck.  Tiie  firstTcoiie  was  run 
In  1:45^- 

THE   RELLIKO   HACK. 

The  day's  sport  terminated  with  a  selling  race  of 
one  mile,  with  the  usual  allowances,  for  which  there 
were  six  entries,  and  five  of  tliem  sported  silk,  as 
follows  :  Xeedinger's  First  Chance,  Harbeck's  Ber- 
tram, McD&niel's  Lady  Salyers,  Reed's  Cardinal 
Wclsey*  aud  Crawford  &  Co.'s  Dan  K, 
This  was  an  excellent  field,  and  created 
inu'-li  interest  when  the  five  appeared  upon 
the  track.  Dan  K.  was  the  favorite  at  $225 ;  Cardl- 
ral  Wolsev,  $140:  Bertram,  $135;  Lady  Salyers, 
&130,  anrf  First  Chance,  $40.  On  the  fotirth  at- 
tempt they  were  sent  on  their  joumev  to  a  rather 
ptraeglinp' start.  First  Ctance  having  the  best  of  it, 
Wolsey  second.  Dan  K.  third,  Bertram  fourth,  and 
I^ady  Salyers  two  lengths  In  the  rear.  Tint  Chance 
tnade  the*  best  ot  his  advantage  rotmd  the  turn,  and 
|)usbed  out  two  lengths  in  front  of  Cardinal  Wol- 
Bey  and  Dan  K..  who  were  head  and 
head.  VVben  they  had  reached  the  quarter 
pole  Fir^t  Chance  was  still  pegging  away  two 
lengths  in  advance  of  Dan  K.,  who  bad  pushed  half  a 
length  ahead  of  Cardinal  Wolsey,  while  Lady  Salyers 
fcad  mn  very  fast  past  Bertram,  and  was  lapping 
%Vol5ey*s  quarter.  As  thev  went  along  the  back 
ptretch  First  Chance  continued  to  make  the  pace 
fnrt,  and  still  held  the  advantage  by  two  lengths, 
■ivhile  Ladv  Salyers  had  giTen  Wol.iey  the  go-by,  and 
was  at- the  saddle-girth  of  Dan  K.  The  last-named 
end  the  Lady  befan  closing  upon  the  leader  on  ap- 
pT'iaching  the  TmU-mile  po'e,  and  when  they 
pavsed  that  point  First'  Chance  was  a  length 
Itefore  Dan  K,  who  ■nas  bnt«  a  neck  in 
front  of  Ijady  Salyers.  lapped  at  the  quartet  by 
Wolsev.  and  Bertram  in  the  rear  in  hand.  There 
was  a  ilae  brush  roand  the  lower  turn,  which  aroused 
the  enthusiasm  of  the  spectators  to  a  high  pitch. 
Dan  K.  fell  back  and  Lady  Salyers  was  soon  second, 
and,   lapping  the  quarter  of    First  Chance  and  the 

Rair,  immediately  got  away  three  lengths  from  Dan- 
:.,  who  was  a  tongth  before  Wolsey,  Japped  by 
Bertram.  Tbua  they  turned  Into  the  home 
stretch,  and  whan  they  came  up  there  was 
treat  •idlament.  for  at  the  furlong  it  was 
liflScnlt  to  tell  wWch  had  the  advan- 
tage. Lady  Salyera  seemed  to  be  in  fint,  but  she 
•  bad  done  two  much  ruBfting  and  toon  gavie  way, 
wbHe  First  Chance  came  forward  and  looked  like  the 
winner,  hut,  measuring  his  distance  accorateU', 
Barbee  sent  Bertram  along  on  the  outside,  and  he 
came  in  v»ty  fast  and  reached  the  goal  but  a  baa*  in

A  GERMAN  FESTIVAL. 


THE  PLATTDEUTSCHB^OLKSFEST  AT  UXION 
HILL — SACK  RACES,  A  RCKNING  ilATCH, 
TILTING,  AND  OTHER  SPORTS— A  PRO- 
CESSION,"  ItLCMIXATION,  DANCING,  AND 
SPEECH-MAKING. 

Uninterrupted  jollity  wa.<»  the  prevailing  char- 
acteristic of  the  second  day  of  the  Plattdentsche 
Volksfest  at  Schnetzen  Park,  Union  Hill.  About 
10,000  persons.  Including  numerous  representatives 
of  the  42  societies  composing  the  association,  visited 
the  park  daring  the  day.  The  booming  of  can- 
non at  2:30  P.  M.  from  the  grounds  snrroundlng 
the  Castle,  as  the  pletoresque  head-qtiarters  of  the 
association  is  called,  was  the  signal  for  the  com- 
mencement of  the  festivities.  The  first  event  of  the 
day  whleh  the  Committee  on  Sports  provided  for  the 
amosement  of  the  crowd  was  a  bovs'  sack  race,  with 
its  accompanying  ludicrous  incidlnts.  There  were 
two  heats  and  about  30  competitors  for 
cash  prizes.  A  larj^e  boy  won  the  first 
heat  and  a  correspondingly  small  boy  the  second. 
The  next  event  consisted  of  unsuccessful  attempts  on 
the  part  of  several  courageoos  youths  to  rloe  tJie 
smallest  and  wickedest  of  mules.  *  The  animal,  which 
Is  the  property  of  a  resident  of  Hudson  City,  inti- 
mated by  a  few  preliminarr  rolls  on  the  greenswaM 
that  the  aspirants  would'  meet  with  a  determined 
resistance,  including  an  astonishing  dliplay  of  mulish 
strategy.  Numerous .  attempts  were  made  to  ride 
the  beast,  bnt  no  one  sncceeded.  A  running 
matoh.  In  which  2U  bovs  participated,  waa 
the  npxt  diveraion.  The  course  waa  about  200 
yards  in  front  of  the  booth.  A  Hobokan  boy.  who 
waa  the  winner,  received  a  cash  prize.  Many  of  the 
ladies  took  part  in  the  tournament  of  swinging  a 
suspended  ei^e  with  a  sharp-pointed  beak,  against  a 
target.  Mrs.  Herman  Rankeu  made  a  score  of  36 
out  of  a  possible  30  :  Mrs.  Col.  A.  Meyers,  35  ;  Mrs. 
H.  Luning.  34 ;  Mr«.  Tienken.  34 :  and  Mrw. 
Tletgen,  32.  The  most  successful  competitor  in  tilting 
waalhlr.  £.  H.  Epehard,  who  took  four  rings  out  of  a 
possible  six.  3Xe8srs.  Benner  and  Lnts.  amateur 
acrobats,  of  Williamsburg,  gave  an  exhibition  of 
ranlting  and  ttimbUng  upon  an  improvised  stage,  and 
some  profesaionals  performed  acts  of  clever  slack- 
wire  and  sjilt  walldng.  At  4:30  P.  M.  there  was  a 
proceuion  of  the  societies  represented  on 
the  grounds,  the  following  organizations 
taking  part  therein :  New-Tork  Schnetzen 
Corps,  New-York  Central  Schnetzen  Corps,  Jersey 
City  Grocers'  Association,  Gehrder  JVenndsohaft's 
Bpnd,  Amt  Hagener  Club.  Jersey  City  Schnetzen 
Lyra.  Norddentscher  Saengerbnnd  of  Brooklyn, 
Norddentscher  Club  of  Greenpoint,  Amt  Ashlm 
Club,  Westphallscher  Club,  Oldenbnrger  Vereln, 
Hfth  TVard  German  Guard.  Klaus  Groth  Club, 
and  the  Eureka  Kegel  Club.  Preceded  by 
the  Governor's  Island  Band,  the  procession 
marched  through  the  winding  walks  of  the  park,  and 
finallv  formed  in  a  solid  mass  in  .front  of  the  stage, 
from  which  addresses  were  delivered  by  Mr.  Henry 
Clausen,  the  President  of  the Plattdeutsche  Volksfest, 
and  Mr.  Hherman  .Schwarte,  the  Secretary.  The  dis- 
tinctive -feature  of  the  evening  festivities  was 
the  carnival  procession,  which  formed  at  the 
castle  at  6  r.  M.  The  number  was  limited 
to  somthing  less  than  150.  A  decorated 
truck  freighted  with  picturesquely-attired  young  la- 
dies led  the  van.  King  Carnival  in  a  buggy  followed, 
with  Gambnnns  and  hla  merry  crew  next  In  order. 
Then  followed  Russian  and  Turkish  infantrj-men, 
conversing  with  each  other  in  the  most  amicable 
terms,  after  which  came  files  of  men  and  boys  envel- 
oped in  the  skins  of  beai^s.  ^Vfter  sunset  the  walks, 
pathways,  and  stands  were  attractively  Illuminated 
with  lanterns,  and  daring  the  hours  Intervening  be- 
tween that  time  and  midnight  dancing  wa«  the  chief 
source  of  amusement.  The  most  interesting  event 
to-day  will  be  the  celebration  of  a  golden  wedding 
after  the  Low  Dutch  ritual.  In  the  quaint  farm-house 
erected  in  the  park.  In  connection  with  this  event 
there  will  be  a  procession,  which  will  form  at  No. 
165  Bowery,  In  this  City,  and  will  be  received  in 
Hoboken  by  the  Jersey  Plstt-deutscher  societies. 

THE    PENXSTLFAyiA    COAL    TRADE. 


SPORTS  m  LAOT)MD  WATEB 


RESULTS  OP  THE  CONTrNUED  STRIKE — PRO- 
DUCTION FOR  THE  TVEEK. 
Ttom  the  Philadelphia  Ledger,  Aug.  37, 
We  are  still  without  reports  of  the  tonnage 
of  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  ■Western  and  the 
Delaware  and  Hudson  Companies,  the  strike  in  the 
northern  coal  fields  interfering  with  thetr  shipments. 
This  strike  has  almost  entirely  stopped  production 
outride  of  the  Schuylkill  region,  so  that  the  market 
is  mainly  dependent  upon  the  Scnnylklll  r^ion  for 
its  supply.  There  seems  little  present  indication  of 
an  early  termination  of  this  strike.  If  all  the  com- 
panies are  as  resolute  as  the  Pennsylvania  Coal  Com- 
pany it  is  improbable  that  there  will  be  any  early 
compromise,  and  as  the  miners  seem  to  be  as  deter- 
mined as  their  employers  the  dead-lock  con- 
tinues indefizdtely.  The  miners  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Coal  Company  asked  for  23  p«  cent, 
advanced  wages.  To  this  President  Hoyt  on 
Friday  replied  firmly,  not  only  refusing  to  make  the 
desired  concession  but  stating  that  the  company 
would  not  allow  work  to  be  resumed  in  its  mines  un- 
less the  miners  were  quite  unanimous  In  favor  of  re- 
sumption at  the  July  rate  of  compensation,  44  cents 
I>er  ton.     Oar  tabulated"  returns  show   that  tho  ag- 

fregate  weekly  output  has  for  several  weeks  fallen 
elow  the  ontput  at  the  corresponding  time  last  year. 
This  diminishes  the  sapply  at  tide-water,  and  has 
caused  a  general  advance' in  prices  and  also  in  tolls, 
so  that  coal  is  now  generally  15  to  20  cents  per  ton 
hidier  than  it  was  a  week  or  two  ago.  an  advance 
which  enforces  the  advice  to  consumers  that  we  have 
steadily  given,  that  there  waa  no  probability  of  lower 
prices  this  year.  The  advance  in  coal  pricea  and  In 
tolls,  with  the  general  belief  that  hereafter  coal 
would  go  higher,  has  had  the  effect  of  steadilv  ad- 
vancing all  ooid  securities  during  the  last  fewdavs. 
This  rise  In  price  has  alike  affected  the  companies 
that  are  idle  and  those  that  are  working,  tlie  belief 
being  that  there  are  brighter  prospects  ahead  for 
owners  of  coal  securities  than  hu  been  the  case  for 
some  time. 

For  the  week  ending  on  the  18th  Inst.,  the  total 
tonnage,  as  reported  by  the  several  carrying  compa- 
nies, amounted  to  29u.  1 25  tons,  Bgatnst  352.809 
tons  in  ^e  corresponding  week  last  year,  a  decrease  of 
57,684  tons.  The  total  amount  of  anthracite  mined 
for  the  year  is  12,316,511  tons,  against  10,154,875 
tons  for  same  period  last  year,  an  mcrease  of  2, 1 61,  •

market  fortheweekamounted  to  44,236  tons,  against 
76.548  tons  in  the  corresponding  week  last  year, 
a  decrease  of  32.312  tons.  The  total  tonnage  of  all 
kinds  of  coal  for  the  week  is  339,361  tons,  i^nst

RTFLE  MATTERS  AT  CREEDMOOR, 

THE  BKOOKLYN  CAVALBT  TROOPS*  CONTEST — 
MOVEMEirrS  OP  THE  BRITISH  TEAM — 
PREPARATIONS  FOR  THE  INTERNATIONAL 
MATCH. 

The  cavalry  troops  atta43hed  to  tho  S«oond 
Division,  Brooklyn,  were  ordered  to  Creedmoor  for 
rifle  practice  in  the  third  class  yesterday.  The  or- 
ganizations represented  were  as  follows :  Separate 
Troop,  Fifth  Brigade,  19  men,  under  command  of 
Lieut.  Roselin ;  Separate  Troop,  Eleventh  Brigade, 
23  men,  Cspt.  Bertsch  commanding,  and  Oatling 
Battery,  16  men,  under  command  of  Capt  John  A. 
Sdwards.  The  latter  being  senior  officer,  took  com- 
mand of  the  entire  detachment.  The  ranges  covered 
were  100  and  150  yards  In  the  third  class,  and  250 
and  300  yards  in  the  second  class.  In  the  first  class 
only  16  men  qualified  in  the  Eleventh  Brigade  Troop, 
10  in  the  Fifth  Brigade,  and  4  In  the  GatUng  Battery. 
Capt,  Boynton,  of  the  Fifth  Brigade  staff,  assumed 
ilajor  Jewell's  place  as  Inspector  of  Rifle  Practice, 
and  eoideavored  unsnceessfully  to  qualify  a  large 
number  of  men.  The  only  qualifications  were  in 
QatUng  Battery,  as  follows:  Capt.  Edwards,  39; 
Private  Delius.  34 ;  Sergt.  Moog.  28,  and  Private 
Cannon,  28.  These  men  were  affodred  an  opportunity 
to  shoot  for  Marksman's  badges,  and  all  but  Private 
Cannon  were  winners  of  the  trophies.  Dr.  Edwin  P. 
Lindridge  was  acting  medical  officer,  and  had  two 
cases,  one  of  sunstroke  and  another  in  which  the 
natient  dislocated  his  knee  in  a  wrestlkig  match. 

Gen.  Dakln,  Gen.  Wylie,  Capt  Story,  and  Major 
Overton,  of  Gen.  Jourdan's  staff,  visited  the  range 
In  the  afternoon  for  the  purpose  of .  selecting  the  site 
for  and  supeiinteuding  the  erection  of  their  tents. 
Gen.  Dakin  has  a  large  marquee,  20  by  40  feet^ 
with  an  awning  extending  10  feet  beyond 
It.  In  front  of  the  tent  is  a  small 
garden  of  shrubbery,  anrrotinded  by  a 
hedge  of  arbor  vita^e.  At  either  end  of  the  tent  are 
tall  flagstaffs.  From  the  one  in  front  will  be  sus- 
pended an  American  flag,  20  by  40  feet,  and  at  the 
rear  a  British  Union  Jack  of  similar  dimensions. 
Suspended  from  halyards  between  the  two  flf^staffs 
will  be  the  Louisiana,  Irish,  Australian,  Scotch,  and 
other  flags.  On  the  left  of  Gen.  Dakin's  tent  will  be 
placed  the  tent  for  the  use  of  the  American  team, 
while  the  British  team  will  occupy  similar  quarters 
on  tho  right.  Below  these,  and  toward 
the  targets,  tents  have  been  erected  for 
the  Surgeon,  the  press,  and  the  Ord- 
nance Department,  adjoining  which  is  Gen.  Wylie's 
marquee.  This  tent  is  in  the  form  of  a  cross.  The 
entrance  is  in  the  arm  fronting  on  the  main  avenue 
of  the  range,  and  the  other  three  arms  will  be  used 
for  sleeping  apartments  and  dresaing-rooms,  being 
separated  from  each  other  by  red  brocade  curtains. 
The  centre  polo  is  surrounded  by  ancient  hand 
weapons  of  war,  bayonets.  &c  A  new  building  is 
being  erected  on  the  southern  side  of  the  old  "  Head- 
quarters building"  of  the  association  for  tho  use  of 
Capt.  Storj-.  the  Statistical  Officer  of  the  Fall  meet- 
ing. Its  dimensions  are  16  by  30  feet,  and  It  will  be 
one  story  high.  Nearly  all  of  the  regiments  of  .  any 
standing  have  already  provided  quarters  for  theix 
representative  teams  at  Creedmoor. 

The  only  long-rauge  practice  on  the  range  yester- 
day was  done  by  Mr.  l!*.  L.  Hepburn,  of  the  fcserN-e 
forees  of  the  American  team,  who  ma<ie  numerous 
"bull's  eyes*  at  HOO,  000,  and  1.000  yards.  Today 
and  to-morrow  both  the  ojvposing  te'ams  will  slioo't 
over  the  ranges.  Sir  Henry  Halford  and  Mr.  Piggott, 
of  the  British  team  visited  tlie  City  yesterday  iu  a 
state  of  trepidation  at  not  finding  their  bullets 
among  the  baggage  of  the  team.  Late  in  the  after- 
noon the  employes  of  the  Inman  Company  found  the 
bullets,  which  were  contained  in  two  boxes,  and  also 
a  package  of  crockery,  the  use  of  which  by  the  tf^am 
iv&H  not  apparent.  On  Thursday  the  team  will  go  to 
Bridgeport.  Conn.,  as  the  guests  of  Shnrps  KWo 
Company,  and  ot  Friday  thev  will  witness  a  match 
at  glass-ball  shooting  by  tho  frestside  Gun  Club  at 
Elm  Park,  East  River.  The  team  has  decided  to 
practice  only  oh  Tuesdava,  AYedncsdavs.  and  Thuw- 
days.  

BASE-BALL, 

THE  CINCINNATI  RED  STOCKINGS  DEFEATED 
BY  THE  BROOKLYN  HAHTFORDS — THE 
RACE  FOR  THE  CHAMPIONSHIP.  " 
The  Cincinnati  Hed  Stockings  played  a  game 
of  base-ball  with  the  Hartford  Club  in  Brooklyn  ves- 
terday,  and  were  easily  beaten  by  a  score  of  5  to  1. 
The  game  was  tedious  and  uninteresting,  and  was 
witnessed  by  about  200  persons.  The  Hartfords 
were  short  the  services  of  three  of  their  best  players 
— York,  Holdswortb,  and  Fergruson.  Their  places, 
however,  were  very  acceptably  filled  by  Pike  and 
Bunco,  two  ainatuer  players,  and  Habridse,  the  r^u- 
lar  substitute  of  the  club.  The  game  was  ca]le<l  at 
4:10  P.  M.,  with  the  visitors  in  the  field.  Tlie  game 
opened  favorably  for  tho  home  players,  who  scored  a 
run  in  the  first  inning  and  blanked  their  opponents. 
There  were  no  runs  ma<le  by  either  side  again  until 
the  third  inning,  when  the  Hartfords  increased  their 
lead  by  two.  In  this  inning  the  Cincinnatts  were  al- 
lowed to  score  one  mn  by  Allison's  carelessness  in 
failing  to  gt>  after  a  wide^pitrhed  ball.  This  proved 
to  be  the  only  run  which  they  were  able  to  get  dur- 
ing the  game.  Start  made  a  clean  home  mn  in  the 
fifth  Inning,  on  a  hit  which  panned  over  Addy*n  head 
in  right  field.  The  feature  of  the  fielding  was  a 
beautiful  double  play  by  Allison.  Burdock,  and  Start, 
by  which  the  visitors  were  retired  in  the  soveuth  in- 
ning. The  game  was  impartlallv  umpired  by  Mr. 
Dncharme.    Appended  le  the  score  :

and  become  very  monotonous.  The  straigntforward

by  two  slippery  and  devious  rways  for  Indorsement

AX  ABORTIVE  YACHT  RACE. 
A  second  attempt  to  decide  the  tfaim  to  the 
first  and  second. claw  prizes  of  the  Hudson  River 
Yacht  Club  was  made  yesterday,  and  resulted  in  fail- 
ure, owing  to  the  light  and  ba£9ing  winds.  The  an- 
nual regatta  was  sailed  on  July  30,  and,  in  conse- 
quence of  a  rather  general  foul  at  the  finish,  only  in 
the  third  class  was  the  race  decided.  It  waa  de- 
termined that  there  should  be  a  new  race  for  tho 
boats  of  the  first  and  second  classes,  and,  according- 
ly, there  appeared  yesterday  to  compete  for  the  gold 
medals  offered  by  the  club  the  Eureka  and  St.  Ehno, 
of  the  first  class,  and  the  Clara  S.,  G.  B.  Dean,  Pros- 
pect, Annie  L.,  and  Lydia  T..  of  the  .tecoud.  The 
course  was  from  the  elub-house,  foot  of  Seventieth- 
street,  round  a  stake-boat  anchored  off  Fort  Lee,  and 
return ;  this  course  to  be  sailed  over  twice.  The  con- 
test was  little  more  than  a  drift,  and  the  yachts  were 
only  able  to  sail  over  the  course  once  within  the  time 
necessary  to  constitute  a  race.  The  Eureka  and 
Dean  were  then  ahead  in  their  respective  classes.

GOV.     HARTRANFT     IN      WASHINGTON  —  AR- 
RANGEMENTS   FOB  THE    DISPOSITION  OP 
THE     TROOPS — CLOTHING      THB    THREE- 
MONTHS'  VOLUNTEERS. 
A  Washington  telegram  of  the  26th  inat.  to 
the  Philadelphia  Prea  says : 

-"Gov.  Hartranft  arrived  here  yesterday  for  the 
purpose  of  conferring  personally  with  the  President 
and  Secretary  of  ^^  ar  in  regard  to  the  use  of  the 
Government  machinery  for  the  manufacture  of 
clothing  for  the  volunteer  regiments  to  be 
callsd  Info  the  service  of  the  State  of  Pennsyl- 
vania for  three  months,  and  for  a  period  as 
much  longer  as  the  exigencies  of  the  present 
disturbed  condition  of  anairs  at  several  of  the 
industrial  centres  demand.  Gov.  Hartranft  repaired 
to  the  Executive  Mauaion  .shortly  after  the  amvaliof 
the  President,  and  called  his  attention  to  several  dis- 
patches which  had  been  sent  to  hira,  asking  authority 
to  utilize  the  machinery  of  the  Government  as  abovo 
stated.  The  President  summoned  the  Secretary  of 
W^,  who,  upon  reaching  tlie  Cabinet-room,  informed 
Gov.  Hartranft  that  a  letter  granting  his  request 
had  been  forwarded  to  him  at  Harrisbnrg  on  Friday 
night.  The  presence  of  the  Governor,  however, 
gave  opportunity  for  a  very  full  conversation 
upon  the  existing  state  of  affaiia  in  the 
commonwealth,  particularly  with  reference 
to  the  further  occupation  of  the  l^tate 
by  Federal  troops.  Tho  Governor  expressed  a  de- 
sire that  the  United  States  forces  be  permitted  to 
remain  at  Philadelpliia,  Pittsburg,  Reading,  Wilkes- 
barre,  Scranton,  as  most  convenient  to  all  points  of 
possible  disorder,  until  liis  own  arrangements  for  the 
future  preservation  of  the  peace  of  the  common- 
wealth were  perfected.  In  conjunction  with  ihe 
regular  forces  there  aFe-stiU  in  the  field  about  1.200 
of  tho  National  (iuai-d  available  for  operations  in 
any  part  of  the  State,  and  with  these  he  said  that  he 
cooldpreserve  the  ueaco  until  tho  two  regimenia  of 
of  three  months' volunteers,  to  be  detailed  from  the 
National  Guard,  were  ftilly  organized,  armed,  aud 
eouipped.  The  President  direct etl  t her  Secretary  of 
W  ar  that  the  troops  of  the  Fe<lenil  Government 
should  be  permitted  to  remain  tliere  untii  the  Gov- 
ernor signified  his  readiness  to  have  them  relieved. 
Later  iu  the  day.  by  direction  of  the  Secretary  of 
War,  Quartermaster-Gen.  Meigs  is.«sued  instructions 
to  the  officers  of  tlie  .Schuylkill  Arsenal,  Philadelphia, 
directing  them  to  facilitate  In  every  manner  the  mak- 
ing of  uniforms,  of  the  staixlard  patterns  and  sizes, 
for  the  us©  of  the  troops  to  be  called  into  the  service 
of  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  for  the  sup- 
pression of  domestic,  violence  :  the  cost  of  material 
and  labor*  to  be  defrayed  by  the  commonweAlth. 
This  action  will  not  interfere  with  the  necessities  of 
the  Government,  as  there  Ik  now  a  large  supply 
of  clothing  on  hand,  and  the  Government 
cutters  are  at  this  moment  idle.  Gov.  Hartranft, 
t  prior  to  his  departure  for  Harri^burg  last  night, 
obserx'cd  that  he  was  mncli  gratified  nt  the  success  of 
his  mission,  and  WAS-  especially  impres.ted  with  the 
liberal  \'iewa  entertained  by  the  President  on  the 
subject  of  the  duty  of  tho 'Exectitive  in  lawful  co- 
operation with  the  State  authorities  in  the  sup- 
pres<(ion  of  domestic  violence.  He  said  that  the 
President  conceded  ail  his  requests  without  the 
slightest  hesitation,  admitting  at  once  their  reasona- 
bleneas  and  i)ropriety.  It  was  evident  that  the  Gov- 
ernor was  at  first  somewhat  chary  on  the  sub- 
ject of  this  request,  snpjwsing  that  the  President's 
course  in  South  Carolina  and  Louisiana  indicated 
a  stringent  policy  in  regard  to  the  interference 
of  the  Government  in  State  affairs.  Chi  the  con- 
trary, he  found  that  the  President's  ideas  of 
the  use  of  the-  Army  in  the  political  affairs 
of  a  State  and  In  the  suppression  of  violence  and 
destruction  of  life  aud  property,  upon  the  constitn 
tiunal  call  of  the  legally  constituted  authorities  of* 
the  State,  drew  the  true  line  of  distinction.  For  the 
latter  nue  the  Piesident  was  ready  to  co-operate  in 
every  respect.  The  point  was  made  by  Gen.  Meigs 
that,  with  the  power  to  send  troops  into  a  State  to 
sill  the  authorities  fn  preserving  order,  to  the  General 
Govemmeni  also  belonged  tho  -power  to  send  cloth- 
ing, arms,  equipments,  ammunition,  and  in  fact  even 
money  into  a  State,  if  necessary,  to  restore  order.  In 
thit  cftao,  however,  the  Governor  of  Pennsylvania 
Kimplyasks  the  u«ie  of  the  Government  arrangements 
for  making  anny  clothing  for  which  tho  State 
will  pa  v.  The  Governor  said  that  the  greatest 
anxiety  he  had  was  the  clothing  of  the  trnops  to  lie 
called  into  the  State  scrnce  :  that  not  only  would  it 
involve  contracts,  and  the  Interinltiablo  annoyances 
attending  a  resort  to  such '-methods,  but  Would, 
doubtless,  result  in  ttie  State  Ifelng  imposed  upon,  as 
there  are  now  on  hand  large  quantities  of  army 
clothing  which  were  condemned  by  the  I'nited  States 
Army  officers,  all  of  which  would  be  thrown  upon 
tho  State.  Under  the  present  arrangements, - 
the  Statu  would  be  se^^ired  against  such  im- 
positlou.  as  it  would  al.'to  have  all  command 
cf  the  experience  of  the  Government  in.spector. 
In  addition  to  this  the  clothing  could  be  fur- 
nished within  10  days,  which  would  be  impossible 
by  ordinary  contract.  The  Goycmor  prop^jses  to 
organize,  clothe,  and  equip  two  regiments  of  10 
companies  each,  as  already  stated,  to  be  detnileil 
frnm  the  National  Guard,  for  three  months*  serxncc 
Tlie  clothing  will  be  ot  the  United  States  material 
and  patterns,  used  by  the  Unite<t  8tAte.s  troops.  In 
allumng  generally  to  the  preservation  of  the  peace 
of  the  State,  the  Governor  spoke  very  hfghly  of  the 
Coal  and  Iron  Police,  employed  and  paid  by'ihe  dlf- 
fcFent  raining  and  transportation  'companies  of  tho 
niithracite  region,  but  commissioned  by  the  com^ 
monwealth.  Thus  constituting  a  sort  of  armed  con- 
stabulary loval  to  tho  State  and  to  the  in- 
terests which  they  are  specially  employed  to 
protect.  In  tlie  late  crisis  he  said  they 
showed  themselves  loyal  to  their  comp.nnies.  brave 
and  judlrlou^.  the  guardians  of  the  livesand  property 
of  peaceful  citizens,  and  the  detomiined  foe  to  the 
disorderly  element,  who,  under  the  guise  of  honest 
industry,  destrov  property  and  pr^-vcnt  honest  labor 
ers  from  toil.  lie  thought  tht*  same  syrtem  very  gen- 
erally adopted,  the  men  selected  from  among  tho 
most  faithful  employes  of  the  Industrial  establinh- 
roents  or  compsnies.  paid  extra  wages,  and  armed 
with  tlie  moRt  efficient  weapons,  would  matutain  or- 
der. Questions  of  controversy  between  labor  and 
capital  would  then  adjust  themselves  by  orderly 
methods,  for  In  every  destruction  of  property,  no 
matter  what  the  cau^e.  the  results  invariabl v  Increase 
the  burdens  of  the  honest  laborer.  Gov.  flartranft. 
will  proceed  to  Scranton  to  personally  superintend 
affairs  in  that  disturbed  region." 


THE  nOIiHERT  IX  IfOSTOX. 
The  Boston  Herald  gives  the  following  account 
of  the  robbery  of  the  firm  of  Bagnall  &  Loud,  dealers 
in  block  and  tackle  rigging,  at  No.  130  Fulton-street, 
that  city,  on  Saturday  noon  :  "  Jlr.  11.  Loud,  junior 
partner,  was  engaged  in  writing  in  the  counting- 
room,  a  small  apartment  in  the  comer  of  the  store, 
near  the  Fulton-street  door,  when,  about  1 1 :30 
o'cloc^c  a  man  went  in  and  requested  change  for  a 
dollar  bill,  which  he  obtained,  Mr.  Loud  going  to  the 
safe,  taking  the  mone^  from  a  drawer,  and,  at  the 
same  time,  showing  qmte  a  large  package  of  green- 
backs which  the  drawer  cohtainctl.  The  man  retired. 
Fifteen  minutes  or  so  later  two  other  men  went  in, 
and,  speaking  to  Mr.  Loud,  Jr..  desired  to  look  at 
some  sheaves.  The  salesman  and  the  other  partner 
being  busj'.  Mr.  Loud  went  to  the  rear  part  of  the 
store  to  show  the  goods,  leaving  the  counting-room 
unoccui>1ed.  The  men  didn't  dnd  what  they  wanted, 
or  professed  towant.  andin  twoorthree  minutes  went 
out  the  back  door  of  the  store  and  into  the  saloon 
opposite.  Mr.  Loud  returned  to  bis  desk,  aud  about 
1  o'clock,  having  occasion  again  to  go  to  the  safe  for 
money,  discovered  that  the  entire  contents  of  the 
drawer  had  disapeared.  These  included  alniut  $  1 ,  200 
iu  cash,  and  notes,  mortgages,  and  other  papers 
representing  some  $2S,000.  The  only  Kolutloa  of 
the  mystei-y  is  iu  the  theory  that  the  three  men 
acted  m  collusion,  the  first  taking  iu  the  situation  of 
affairs  in  the  counting-room,  and  tho  other  two  get- 
ing  Mr.  Loud  to  a  remote  part  of  the  store,  while  the 
flrst  returned  and  took  the  property,  the  work  of  a 
moment  only.  The  losers  do  not  exi^ct  to  recover 
the  money,  but  wish  the  operators  would  return  the 
private  pajfers,  which  are  of  value  only  to  the  firm." 

MICSIGAX  CEXTRAL  WAGES. 
The  Detroit  Tribvne  of  Friday  says:  "Mr. 
Ledyard,  the  Superintendent  of  the  Slichigan  Central 
Railroad,  and  bis  asEistant,  Mr.  Brown,  have  com- 
menced the  eqtialization  of  the  wages  of  the  em- 
ployes of  that  road.  The  work  at  Detroit  is  ended, 
and  yesterftiy  they  naid  their  respects  to  the  Chicago 
end  of  the  route,  where  the  pay-roll  of  about  20O 
men,  comprising  switchmen,  yardmen,  and  ware- 
house laborers,  was  revised,  the  wages  being  gradu- 
ated according  to  a  scale  which  had  previously 
been  approved  by  the  employes  themselves.  In  a 
very  few  instances  a  small  percentage  was  taken 
from  the  salaries  paid  at  present  and  heretofore,  but, 
as  a  rule,  the  pay  waa  increased,  the  advance  rang- 
*ing  from  4  to  12  per  cent.  The  advance  w\\\  proba- 
blv  average  6  per  cent.  There  are  several  grades  of

91  15.  Aijother  grade  have  been  receiving  $1  17; 
tlieir  pay  istncreased  to  $1  20.  Still  another  class 
have  been  paid  $1  2*2;  their  wim;es  are  increased  to 
$1  25.  The  engineers  on  this  road  ere  to  be  paid

grades.  Those  who  arc  serving  their  first  year  at  the 
business  will  receive  $2  50  per  day :  during  their 
second  year  they  will  receive  $2  80.  and  in  the  third 
year  of  their  sei-vice  their  pay  will  be  increased  to 
that  of  flrst-class  engineers,  whatever  that  may  be. 
The  employes  expresa  themselves  as  satisfied  with 
the  new  scale  of  wages.  Messrs.  Ledj-ard  and  Brown 
will  now  begin  wnrking  their  way  eastward  on  the 
line."  .

WHAT  THE  MAES  BRING. 

A  ROMANTIC  STORY 

EEPOETIO)  DIBCOVEBT  OP  A  DAUGHTEE  IN 
CALIFOENIA  "VTHO  'VrAB  STOLEN  IN  THIS 
CITY  THIKTEKN  TEABS  AGO.  -^  ^ 

From  the  San  Francisco  CaU,  Aug.  107^ 

Among  the  gaests  at  the  Fifth- Avenue  Hotel 
In  New-York  City,  iu  the  Summer  of  1864,  was 
a  lady  of  wealth,  who  was  known  as  Mrs.  Capt. 
Worthley.  She  was  the  reputed  wife  of  Capt 
Worthley.  then  in  charge  of  a  flrst-class  clipper  en- 
gaged in  the  China  trade.  She  had  no  children  of 
her  own,  but  was  passionately  fond  of  "ihem,  and 
often  had  with  her  as  companion  at  the  hotel  or  at 
the  sea-side  the  son  or  daughter  of  some  of  her 
friends.  One  day  in  July  of  the  year  already 
named,  a  French  laundress,  named  Mortinet,  who 
had  been  working  for  Mrs.  Worthley,  called  it  the 
hotel  to  dehver  some  laces  to  that  lady.  She  had 
with  her  at  the  time  a  little  girl  aged  four  years. 
She  was  a  pretty  child,  but  somewhat  sickly,  and  in 
the  course  of  conversation  with  Mrs.  "Worthley  the 
motherexpressedafear  thatthe  child  would  become 
a  victim  of  consumption.  Mrs.  Worthley  stated  that 
on  the  following  day  she  would  start  for  Long 
Branch  to  be  gone  six  weeks,  and  that  nothing  would 
please  her  so  m  uch  as  to  have  Mrs.  Mortinet's  little 
^1  with  her.  The  mother  was  loth  to  letthechildgo. 
but  the  idea  that  a  trip  to  the  sea-side  would  improve 
the  little  one*s  declining  health,  and  the  promise  of 
Mrs.  Worthley  that  the  child  should  have  the  best  of 
care,  induced  her  to  part  company  with  her  little 
darling.  Mrs.  Worthley  took  her  departure,  and  two 
months  passed  by  without  Mrs.  Mortinet  learning 
anything  of  her  or  of  her  child.  She  then  became 
alarmed  and  reported  the  matter  at  Police  head- 
quarters. 

An  investigation  was  made  by  officers,  and  the  re- 
sult of  it  was  that  they  learned "  that  Mrs.    Worthley 
went  to  Long  Branch  with  the  little  girl  and  a   boy 
alwut    3  years  or  age  ;    that  she    remained  there 
but  two  days  and  left,  taking  the  children   with  ;her. 
The  mother,  being  in  poor  circumstances,  was  unabla- 
to  offer  anything  in  the  shape  of  a  reward,  conseqtiflbt- 
ly  the  search  for  the  missing  woman  and  the  abduct- 
ed child  was  abandoned  by  the  Police.   ^The  mother, 
however,  did  not  discontinue  her  £nd.eavors  t^j  learn    l 
of  the  whereabouts  of  her  stolen  rirh     In   the  course 
of  her  inquiries  she  learned  that  Mrs.  Worthley  had, 
on  her  return  from  Long  Branch,    taken  passage  on 
one  of  the  Cunard  steamers  for  Liverpool,  and  that 
after  "  doing  Europe  "  she  had  sailed  for  China,  and    ■ 
from  there  had  .•called  for  Califoraisk     When  the 
Aimee  opera  troupe  was  about  to  leave  New- York 
for  this  city,  on  the  occasion  of  the  flrst  ptot'essional   , 
visit.  Mile.  Mario  Aim(^e,  who  had  heard  of  Mrs.  Mor- 
tinet's affliction,  promised  to  use  her  best  endeavors   i 
to  learn  something  of  the  kidnapper.    True  to  her  , 
jiromlse,  illle.  Aim6e,  after   her   arrival    here,  took  j 
steps  to  find  out    if  Mrs.    Worthley  was    in  the  city,  j 
and  advertised  for  hor,  but    naught  came  of  her  ef- 
forts. 

A  few  months    ago  Mrs.    Mortinet   determined  to  ■ 
make  an  individual  effort   to  find    her   lost   child  in 
San  Francisco,  having  heard  from  some  source  that 
the  woman  who  had  stolen  her  girl  was  in  this  city  or  | 
in  its  immediate   vicinity.    Some  time    after  her  ar-    ' 
rival  she  iuseried  advertisements  in  different  news- 
papers asking  for  information,  but  did  not  learn  any- 
thing about  what   she  was  iu   6e.irch  of   until  a  few 
weeka    ago,    when    a    gentleman     called    upon    her   i 
and     made    a    statement    which    gave    her  a   ray 
of    hope.     He   said   that    several    years    ago    there 
came  to  Oakland  a  lady  and  two  chudreu — a  boy  and 
a  girl.    She  took  up  her  residence  iu  a  house  on  the  , 
San  Pablo  road,  and  as  she  was  very  wealthy  she 
soon  formed  a  large  circle  of  acquaintances    She, 
however,  waa  very  reticent  as  to  her  previous  history, 
and  all  efforts  to  ascertain  who  she  was  or  where  she 
came  from  proved  futile.  The  children,  who  appeared 
to  be  very  much  attached   to  her,  called  her'motber. 
The  lady  had  bestowed   upon    the    children  a  liberal 
education,  and  they  had  all  that  money  purchases  to 
satisfy    their  whims.    One  day  the  lady  was  taken  ill  ■ 
and  gradually  grew  worse,  uniU  tlie  attending  physi-  , 
cians,  after  a  consultation,  pronounced  her  case  hope- 
less.     One   afternoon     she    calleil     the     nur^e  _to 
her   and    told    her   that   she    had    a   great     scefety  ~ 
to   impart.    She   told   her   that    the    children  who 
called  her  mother  were  not  hers.    She  gave  the  name 
and  former  residence  of  the  mother  or  *the  girl,  and 
was  about  to  give  that  of  the  boy,  when  she  became 
unconscious  and  iu  a  short  time  breathed  her  last.   ' 
The  secret  of  the'  boy's  birth  died  with  her.     Mrs. 
Mortiuet  became  satisfied  that  this  girl  was  her  Jong- 
lost  daughter,  and  hastened  to  Oakland,  where  she  ' 
had  an  interview  with  her.    The  girl,  who  is  now  i 
about  17  years  of  age.  is  the  perfect  ima^e  of  her 
mother,  and  this  is  about  the  only  proof  the  mother 
has  in  sunport  of  the  claim  of  relationship.     The  girl 
refu-sed  to  recognize  her.    Mrs.  Mortinet  will  prob-  . 
ably  have  recoprse  to  the  courts  to  r^ain  possession 
of  her  child.  T

SHE  BLOPES  WITH  A    b'OTOEIOUS  CONVICT — 
-  ■       HER  FATHER    MAKES    A   STATEMENT  TO 
THE  PUBLIC. 
From  the  IndianapcUM  SeminO,  Aug,  34. 

The  Sentinel  of  Wednesday  contained  an  aft- 
oonnt,  substantially  correct,  of  the  elopement  of  Dr. 
J.  W.  Younge  with  Miss  Oara  A.  Hill,  tho  yonngost 
daughter  of  John  H.  Hill,  Esq.,  during  the  absence  of 
her  father  from  the  <dty.  Mr.  Hill  returned  from  : 
Cleveland  yesterday,  and  thla  morning,  at  his  re- 
quest, a  Sentinel  reporter  called  upon  him  at  his  resi- 
dence, comer  of  Le^  and  Harrison  streets,  to  hear 
his  statement,  which  was  sahstantially  as  follows  t  | 

"I  desire  the  pnbhc  to  nnderstand  that  the  mar- 
riage of  my  daughter  Clara  with  the  adventurer.  Dr. 
Younge,  was  wholly  without  my  knowledge  or  con- 
sent. 1  left  home  on  the  6tb.of  August,  at  5  o'clock 
in  the  morning,  expecting  to  be  absent  until  Oc-  ' 
tober.  We  took  an  early  breakfast,  and  iny  ' 
daugatera^-among  them  Clara— accompanied  me 
to  the  depot.  Aa  I  left  she  kissed 
me  affectionately  and  waved  her  handkerchief  at  me 
as  far  as  I  could  see,  1  did  not  know  that  she  con- 
templated  matrimony  with  any  one,  or  that  she  was 
acquainted  with  Dr.  Younge,  whom  1  would  not  al- 
low to  enter  my  doors.  I  have  heard  ot  him,  but 
never  saw  him.  and  would  not  know  him  were  he  to 
appear  here  at  thhj  moment.  I  have  been  indulgent 
and  liberal  witii  my  daughter  ;  havr  educated  her  in 
music,  Ac,  at  laigo  expense,  and  I  desire  the  public 
now  to  know  that  1  and  my  entire  family  utterly  dis- 
own and  repudiate  her  aud  her  husband,  and  shall 
refuse  to  have  anything  to  do  with  them.  I  was  in 
Cleveland,  aud  received  a  telegram  to  come  home.  I 
never  knew  of  the  marriage  until  I  arrived  in  the  de- 
pot in  this  city." 

Iu  conversation  with  members  of  the  famUy  our 
reporter  learned  farther  details  of  the  elopement. 
Miss  liiU  dined  at  home  Mondav  noon,  and  betra>-ed 
no  signs  of  excitement.  She  left  .<<hortly  after,  say- 
ing that  she  was  going  to  play  croquet  with  a  friend 
on  East  Lewis-street.  She  did  not  return  ou  Mon- 
day, and  on  Tuesday  one  of  the  bisters,  3frs.  Dr. 
Metcalf,  visited  the  house  referred  to.  but  found 
that  Miss  Clara  had  not  been  there.  &|spicion  w:i<* 
aroused,  but  nothing  was  known  Jt^il  Tuesday 
evening  at  6  o'clock,  when  Mrs.  Joseph  Saunders, 
another  sister,  found  the  folllowing  letter: 

MyDeaekst  Fathee:  I  have  gone  from  your 
house  to  get  married  to  one  1  love  and  one  that  loves 
me.  1  knew  it  would  be  of  no  use  to  ask .  your  con- 
sent, for  I  would  not  get  it.  But  I  love  you  stiU  with 
ft  daughter's  love,  ana  hope  wo  will  be' frienils  for- 
ever.    Your  dearest  daughter,  CLAKA. 

A  search  of  the  house  showed  that  the  young  lady 
had  carried  away  every  article  of  any  kind,  however 
trifling,  which  belonged  to  her.  On  Wednesday  the 
following  letter  was  received  from  Van  Wert : 

DEPiry  House.  Van  Webt,  O.,  Aug.  21, 1877. 

Mt  De_a.r  Sister  :  Perhaps  you  will  be  surprised 
to  hear  of  ray  marriage.  I  was  married  to  I>r.  Younge 
at  the  DePuy  House  yesterday.  Do  not  condemn  me 
or  be  tmcharitahle.  and  please  use  your  influence  to 
recnn5il£.Pa  to  what  I  have  done.  Dr.  Younge  is  not 
to  blame  for  the  course  I  have  wrsued.  Ho  desired 
to  consult  Pa.  but  I  objected.  Knowing  it  wouid  be 
useless.    May  God  bless  you,  one  and  ail.

TION  AND  BURIAL  OF  THE  REMAINS. 
From  the  Cincinnati  Enquirer,  Aug.  26.  I 

Miss  M.  Mackey,  of  Brooklyn,  •>*'.  Y.,.  sister 
of  James  W.  Mackey,  whose  mysterious  death  near 
the  Newport,  Ky.,  Pumping-works  has  attracted  so 
much  attention,  arrived  yesterday  from  Brooklyn, 
accompanied  by  Mr.  Charles  Ramsey,  an  intimate 
friend  of  the  deceased  and  also  a  friend  of  the  family. 
They  came  for  the  double  purpose  of  removing  the 
remains  of  the. unfortunate  man  to  Brooklyn  and  if 
possible,  to  clear  up  the  mystery  surrounding  his 
death. 

After  a  brief  consultation  with  Mr.  E.  T.  Gilliland, 
the  friend  of  the  deceased,  who  has  been  working  so 
earnestly  since  the  discovery  of  the  body  to  solve  the 
mystery,  they  repaired  to  the  office  of  the  Chief  of  , 
Police,  to  whom  tliey  had  letters  from  the  Brooklyn'  : 
and  New-York  authorities,   and  from  him  obtained 
promises  of  every  assistance  in  his  power  in  the  in- 
vestigation   demanded.    Detective    Ampthauer    was  '. 
detailed  to  assist  those  already  engaged  in  the  invea-  ! 
tigation,  and  the  entire  party  yesterday   visited  the  I 
spot  where  the  romains  were  found,  and  also  talked  ' 
with    the   peoplo    in   the    neighborhood    a*ho     had  | 
seen   Mackey    on   the    day  previous  to  his    death. 
One  additional  point — perhaps  an  important  one —  , 
was  gained  by  finding  parties  living  near  the  scene 
of  the  death  who   had  heard  cries  for  help  on  the  j 
fatal  night  of  Aug.  3.    They  stated  that  at  two  or  { 
three  times  during  the  night  they  heard  what  seemed  ; 
a  cry  of  "help,'  but,  from  some  reason  as  yet  not  I 
fully  developed  or  understood,  they  seem  not  to  have 
responded  to  it.      To    those    who    believe    in  the  ; 
theory  of  death  from  natural  causes  this  is  taken  as  i 
additional  proof  in  their  support.    They  think  that 
the  unfortunate  man,  in   his  weakened  and  excited  ' 
condition,   evidently    suffering  temporary  insanity, 
wandered  through  the  hot  sun  to  this 'place,  and,  ' 
suffering  perhaps  from  sun-stroke  and  also  from  ex- 
haustion,  became  insensible    until   revivetl    by  the 
cool  air  of  the  evening,  and  became  at  times  suf- 
flciently  conscious  to  call  for  helo.     The  theory  of 
death  from  natural   causes   seems  to  obtain  with 
most  of  those  conversant  with  the  circnmstances ; 
even  Miss  Mackey.  the  sister  of  the  deceased  who 
had  rejected  it  untU  Wsiting  the  grounds  yesterday, 
now  accepting  it  as    most  probable.    Miss  Mackey  ■. 
has  in  her  possession  a  photograph  of  her  deceased 
brother,  and  by  it  all  possible  doubt  eis  to  the  identi. 
tv  of  the  remains  was  removed,  the  parties  who  saw 
Mackey  instantly  recognizing  the  photograph  as  that  , 
of  the  man  of  whom  they  sneak.  The  party  returned  , 
to  Newport  lo  proceed  with  the  investigation  there, 
intending  to  have  the  remains  exhumed  and  an  ex-  | 
amlnation   made    of   the    skulL    in  order  to  assure  I 
themselves  relstive  to  the  alleged  fracture.     Owing  ] 
to  the  lateness  of  the  hour,  however,  they  decided  to  | 
postpone  such  action  until  tonlay,  when  Dr.  Wood, 
of  this  city,  and  Dr.  Davis,  the  party  who  made  the 
first  Qp:amination,   will  proceed  to  Uie  task,  making 
tne  examination  most  thorough  and  complete. 

The  feeling,  already  mentioned,  that  the  conduct 
of  the  parties  who  made  the  firsv  investigation  was. 
far  from  just— was  an  outrage  upon  common  de- 
cency— continues  to  grow  stronger.  The  people  of 
Newport  have  themselves  caught  the  infection  and 
are  loudly  demanding  a  thorough  -  investigation. 
Mayor  Berry  stated  yesterday  to  the  friends  of 
the  deceased  that  the  charges  made  by  the  par- 
ties concerned  were  exorbitant  In  the  ex- 
treme and  unwarranted,  and  that  no  law, 
either  of  State  or  city,  would  sustain  the 
actions  as  commonly  reported  to  have  oc- 
curred. The  renort  that  the  parties  who  re- 
moved the  body  ^m  the  p^ace  where  it  was  found, 
and  were  afterward  on  the  jury,  were,  some  of  them 
at  least,  brutally  drunk,  gains  strength.  The 
names  of  three  or  four  parties  who  assisted  in  the 
bringing  of  the  body  to  Xewport,  some  of  whom 
were  afterward  on  the  Coroners  jury,  are  men- 
tioned in  this  connection,  and  no  concealment  of 
the  fact  made.  As  to  the  "  examination"  made  by 
Dr.  Davij,  there  is  a  general  feeling  th^t  it  was  en- 
lireJj'  superficial — a  mere  farce,  and  in  no  way  val- 
uable as  indicatiog  the  true  facts  in  the  case-  Indeed. 
tbat  gentleman  himself  admits  that  he  merely  drew 
his  hand  across  the  level  of  the  head  of  the  dead  man, 
and,  making  a  slight  examin&tloa  of  the  contusion, 
concluded  that  there  was  a  fracture  of  the  stuU.  laid 
gave  his  '*  verdict''  upon  this  sliglit  evidence.  That 
he  should  have  demanded  and  received  the  sum  of 
$'J5  foe  this  aimplo  examination  is  denounced  by  all 
as  outoigeous  in  the  extreme.  These  loud  denuuci- 
atlons,  land  orobabiy  a  feeling  of  self-respect  on  the 
part  oAthe  Doctor,  have  iEduced  hbn  to  proffer  his 
serviceAwlthoat  further  fee  for  the  examln&iion-  of 
to-day.  ^Che  scathing  rebuke  given  the  "  Doctor"  by 
MissMackey  yesterday  for  his  action  in  the  matter 
will  probably  be  remembered  bv  him  to  his  dying  day. 

Regarding  the  action  of  the  Coroner  rwinaton] 
and  the  undertaker  Fl'etz]  there  are  also  loud  com- 
phvinta.  It  is  allied  that  tiie  undertaker's  bill  \%  an 
a«tonUhingly  exorbitant  one,  being,  according  to  re- 
port, considerably  over  $100  for  the  plainest  of 
coffins  and  the  work  of  rem>  ving  the  body  from  the 
the  scene  of  death  to  Newport  and  thence  ?to  the 
cemetery-  He,  however,  allies  that  there  are  many 
other  charges  to  be  considered,  those  of  carriage 
hire  by  the  Coroner  and  others  in  vlriting  the  scene 
of  death,  and  also  many  other  items  of  a  similar  na- 
ture. These,  however,  Mayor  Berry  states,  cannot 
be  properly  demanded  or  collected,  and  if  foond  to 
be  exorbitant  aa  sa^ootad,  wiU  be  diluted  by  the 
partiea  Interested.

A  TEXAS  OVTLA  TV  IX  JAIL, 

THE   ALLEGED   MURDERER   OP   TWEKTT-SETZX 

:  MEK — HOW  HE  WAS  CAPTCRED. 

From  the  Montgotnery  (Ala.)  Advertiser,  Aug.  25. 

From  Lieut.  Armstrong," of  the  State  Police 
force  of  Texas,  we  gather  the  following  particulars  of 
the  arrest  of  Jolm  Wesley  Hardin,  who  is  said  to  be 
known  throughout  the  Lone  Star  State  as  one  of  the 
most  desperate  and  dangerous  men  in  the  whole 
South-west.  About  three'  years  ago  Hardin  killed 
Sheriff  Webb,  of  Comanche  County,  and  made  good 
his  escape.  He  had  previously  killed,  according  to 
report.  26  men  at  different  places  and  under  various 
circumstances,  and  managed  to  elude  the  vigilance  of 
detectives  and  officers,  except  in  two  instances, 
and  in  those  two  he  was  rescued  from  the  officers 
of  the  law  by  armed  and  disguised  friends 
and  confederates.  There  are  13  indictments 
against  him  for  murder,  and  other  charges  for  lesser 
crimes.  After  the  killing  of  Sheriff  Webb  and  the 
escape  of  Hardin,  the  Legislature  of  Texas  authorized 
the  (iovemor  to  offer  a  reward  of  $4,000  for  the  ar- 
rest of  the  fugitive,  the  usual  amount  being  not  more 
than  $500.  This  law  was  passed  about  a  year  ago, 
and  the  detectives  then  commenced  operations,  Kome 
scouring  the  countrj"  and  others  in  less  demonstra- 
tive ways.  A  detective  hired  himself  as  n  farm  la- 
borer to  the  father  or  father-in-law  of  Hardin,  and  by 
his  innocence  and  guil»'lessnet!8  and  other  arts  pe- 
culiar to  the  profession  managed  to  learn  something 
of  the  whereabout:!  of  an  absent  *'friend,''  whose 
waywani  course  and  self-imposed  banishment  was 
causing  the  oM  folks  at  home  much  grief  and  constant 
uneasiuess.  With  tliis  much  to  work  upon.  Lieut. 
Armstrong  and  his^  subordinate— the  farm  laborer — 
hied  themselves  to' Alabama. 

This  absent  frtend  was  caUcd  by  his  friends  at 
home  by  the  name  of  Swayne,  and'for  Swavue  the 
search  was  instituted.  Posting  tliemselves  tVlly  on 
tho  gengntphy  of  AlabfLnui.  and  becoming  acquainted 
witli  the  dark  places  and  by-ways  which  a  fugirivo 
would  probably  i^eek,  they  finally  cxnclnded  to  settle 
down  at  Pensaco^a  Junction  for  a  short  siege.  Learn- 
ing incidentally  of  a  person.wlio  answ.ned  SwR>-ne's 
description,  they  proceeded  to  Pensarola.  There 
they  spotted  a  man  ordinarily  clothed,  wearing  a 
straw  hat  and  costless,  and  'shadowed "  him 
throughout  the  day.  He  was  accomimui<-l  by  three 
companions,  and  ordinarily  fw  uld  h^ve  been  [un- 
notioed.  Their  movements  and  conversation  indi- 
cated that  they  expected  to  proceed  northward  on 
the  afternoon  train.  .Armstrong  and  his  assistant 
then  revealed  their  secret  to  the  Sheriff  of  Escambia, 
who.  with  two  or  three  Deputies,  consented  to  assist 
in  the  arrest. 

Hardin  and  his  companions  were  armed  with"  ordi- 
nary shot-guns  when  they  entered  the  cars,  which 
they  filed  away  in  the  racks  above.  At  this  moment 
Armstrong  and  two  others  entered  at  the  front  door 
wiih  leveled  pistolf:.  while  the  Escambia  Sheriff  and 
two  other  men  duplicated  the  movement  at  the  rear 
door.  Hardin  was  overpowed,  after  fearful  resist- 
ance, and  kept  down  by  the  main  force  of  several 
persons.  One  of  the  men^knowu  as  Billy  Mann — 
escaped  through  a  window,  and  the  remaining  two 
struggled  with  all  their  might  aga^pi^  the  crowd  with 
whom  thev  were  contending,  now  numbering  a  dozen 
or  more,  but  were  finally  secured,  ilann  fired  his 
pistol  several  times  at  the  cars,  but  did  no  damage, 
and  in  return  was  shot  dead  on  the  track  by  some 
onejrithin.  The  train  then  moved  off.  with  Hardin 
sef^ely  manacled  and  his  two  companions  under 
close  surveillance. 

After  leading  Penfacola  some  distance  behind  the 
two  men  were  allowed  to  get  off,  there  beir.g  no 
charge  against  them.  Apprehending,  from  infonna- 
tioq  received,  that  an  effort  would  be  made  to  rescue 
Hardin  at  Pollard,  the  train  passed  there  without

PHILADELPHIA  JEWELER  ASSAULTED. 
The  Philadelphia  Times  of  the  27th  inst 
says  :  *'  Albert  Martin,  who  said  he  'lived  all  over,' 
had  a  bearing  at  the  Central  oh  Saturday,  charged 
with  assaulting  and  robbing  R.  J.  Marquett,  a  jew- 
eler, at  No.  420  Xorth  Eighth-street.  About  noon 
on  Saturday  he  entered  Sir.  Marqnett's  store  and 
asked  to  inspect  some  watches.  A  tray  was  laid  on 
the  counter  by  the  proprietor,  and  after  an  inspec- 
tion, in  which  none  were  found  suitable,  he  asked  for 
a  better  article.  These  were  locked  up  in  the  safe. 
The  proprietor  walked  to  the  safe  in  tee  rear  of  the 
store  t>ack  of  the  counter,  stooped  do^m  and  pulled 
out  a  case  of  time-keepers.  The  man  walked  back, 
and  reaching  over  the  counter  struck  3Ir.  Marquett  a 
terrible  blow  on  the 'head,  renderirz  him  almost 
senseless.  He  ata^^gered  for  a  moment  and  then 
raised  up.  his  assailant  striking  him  repeatedly  on 
the  head  until  he  fell  to  the  floor  with  a  fractured 
akulL  A  lady  residing  in  the  house  heard  the  scuffle 
and  called  for  aid.  The  thief  grabbed  two  warcbes 
and  ran  ont  of  tlie  store  and  down  Eighth  street,  but 
was  captured  by  William  Wagner,  Jr.  Ha  was  taken 
to  the  store  and  fully  identified,  the  watches  being 
found  in  his  possession,  after  which  he  was  locked 
up.  The  instrument  with  which  the  assault  wsKcom- 
mitted  was  on  iron  oipe  filled  with  lead.  There  are 
seven  cuts  on  Sir.  ilarguett's  head,  and  the  physi- 
cian attending  him  siud  it  would  require  the  utmost 
care  and  attention  to  insure  his  survivaL  l^lartin 
was  committed  without  bafl  to  await  the  result  of 
Mr.  Marquett'a  injuries.  Martin  had  been  iu  the 
store  a  number  of  times  since  last  Wednesday,  on  one 
occasion  purchasing  a.pair  of  cheap  sleeve-bnttons."

The  aquatic  correspondent  of  ft  London

"Many  people  talk  about  swan-hoptptng,  but  eom- 
paratively  few  know  what  it  is.  'With  most  of  ns  do

t  exifrts,  and  as  time  out  of  mind  it  doubtless  has  ex- 
isted. Till  yi  tfterday,  I  may  frankly  own,  the  pro- 
cedure of  this  ancient  observance  was  to  me  on  utter 
mystery,  but  i  have  been  thomaghly  and  pnictic^y 
InltiatvKl,  and  can  now  stand    beiore  the  councils  of

■  it  is— of  catching  and  marking  all  the  swans  on 
the  Tliames.  from  Southwark  Bridge  up  to  Henley. 
The  feasting  which  follows  will  oitrapy  tho  two  re- 
maining days.  Fridav  and  .'^oturday.  Swaii«,  by  Jba

;  Koyal  prerogative,  in  this  as  in  other  matters,   has 

"  often  been  delegated  to  a  subject,  and  sometimes  to  a 

'  body     corp<jntte.        The      uinls     have      generally 

a      mark       on      them :       and      the       ewan>her^ 

who      looked    after    the    setting      of     this     mark, 

was    in      old      time      a      p*'nHJU      of      cousiderabla 

'  importance.  A     -    subject        is       not       entitled

I  boats,  wc  had  the  utrauht  diflir-ulty  in  closing  in  n»on 
1  the  Urds,  both  of  which  eyed  our"  approach  withevi. 
I  dent  saspicion.     1  very  goon  found  that  a  swan  is  ai 

artful  game  to  chase  as  any  Mag  in  the  royal  hunt, 

'   and  is  ae  cunningly  prepared  to  lead  bis  pursnerB  i

■  to  drive  him,  or  them,  ashore,  and  then,  pola

.  Thus  it  is  that  you  collar  him — wlu-n  you  can.  But  in 
close  quarters  it  is  S4.metimes  better  to  discard  the 
honk  aud  to  seixc  your  gamt*  boldly  with  botli  hauda, 
being  ven.'  cjireful  to  avoid  a  Mow  from  the  pinian, 
which  is  almost  as  Uk*^ly  as  a  kick  from  a  racehorse  to 
break  an  arm  or  a  leg.  t>nrfir^  pair  gave  us  no  end  of 
trouble,  and  I  could  uot  but  aduiire  tiie  patience  of  the 
ciews.  turning  their  boats  about  and  altom  on  tlw 
stmng  tiood  tide.  Not  having  the  nunib-r  of  craft  t< 
make  a  com])kie  cordon,  we  were  continually  anc 
unavoidably  presenting  an  open  space  tlirtmgh  which 
the  birds  dashed,  half  flyinji.  hall' cleaving  the  wa- 
ter, back  again  into  the  middle  of  the  Mream.  From 
shore  to  shore  did  they  lead  ««.  dodging  round 
bjirges.  doubling  upon  our  broken  line  suddenly 
when  they  perc-,-tve(l  a  cHaoee.  and  altogether  dis- 
playing a  wonderful  fertility  of  tncties.  Quite  mar- 
velous was  it  to  see  them  contemplating  a  move, 
and  then  relinquish  it  on  the  discovery  of  its  hop^v 
les-sness.  Tlie  rommai.ds  of  the  swan-mastere 
Were  uttered  with  ;ianitn;lile  judgment  and  tiecision, 
and  were  promptly  obeyed  by  Peter,  treorge.  I'nvid, 
ani  other stai«*art  oarsmen,' called  upon  by  name; 
I'Ui  I  am  inclined  to  think  there  was  as  good  general- 
ship on  one  side  as  on  the  other,  and  that  the  swans 
were  defeated  by  superior  forces  rather  than  by 
Ftategj\  Defeated  lliey  were — ^this  pen  and  coli — in  a  ' 
creek  by  Burton's  Wharf,  nearly  opposite  l^iiico 
Pier:  but  not  till  after  smart  skinuisliing  at  2»ln« 
F/<ins  and  other  pf<:nts  of  the  river.  W©  bound  iiixr 
prisoners  and  took  them  on  board,  one  being 
the  epoil  of  the  Vintners,  and  the  other*  of  the 
Dyers :  so  that  first  honors  were  di\ided.  But 
the  bills  of  both  birds  bore  tlie  Queen's 
nuu-k.  so  that  all  we  had  t"  do  was  to  take  charge 
of  them  till  we  should  fall  in  with  Mr.  HajniltMn'* 
boats,  which  we  soon  afterwards  tlid.  The  marks  on  s_ 
the  bills  grow  indistinet  with  time,  and  have  to.bo^^ 
deepened :  but  just  above  Baiiersea  we  jMisseU 
another  pair  of  swans  which  the  quick  eye  of  Mr. 
Abnett  instantly  distingxiisbed  as  Queen's  birds,  the 
sign  being  plainer.  «>  that  we  suiTervd  thetu  to  go 
tlieir  ways  uuchallenged.  Wlien  joined  bv  the  fiiher 
tw  o  Rhips,  Our  little  squadron  mu^le  a  really  respect- 
able, it  not  imposing  appearance.  Each  craft  caiv 
ried  a  flag,  and  the  galley  commanded  by  Mr. 
Hamilton,  our  .\dmirRl.  hoisted  the  insignia  of  Roy- 
alty in  addition  to  the  Imimerbearingthe  image ol' the 
swan.  As  for  the  guild  boats.  1  speak  under  correc- 
tiimofthe  Her.ilc.^  college  v.-hen  I  say  that  Mr. 
Abnett's  craft  and  my  own  carried  the  arms  of  the 
Vintners'  Couij>;!T;y.  finble  a  chevron  between  three 
tuns  argent ;  while  tlie  Dyers'  cogtiizance,  if  1  do  not 
mistake,  was  sable  a  chevron  engrailed  argent  l»e- 
twecu  three  bags  of  the  same,  curded  or.  The  bags, 
one  may  suppose,  represent  parcels  of  dye-stuiT  just 
as  the  tuns  in  the  case  of  the  Vjntnr-ra  svmliolize 
\rine.  If  that  be  not  a  sufficient  blazonry.  I  beg  pap^

"  We  had  a  tussle  with  four  birds  in  a  mud^n*edt 
at  Battersea,  a  little  beluw  the  glnve  fa*-tory  of 
Mes«rs.  Fewni^s.  The  strcngtlieued  arrav  of  boats 
enabled  us  now  to  dmwn  well-connectod  line,  our 
spare  hooks  l>eing  used  in  grappling  one  another's 
fiag-irone.  It  w.-w  ruugh  work,  aud  som  of  us  were 
half-covered  with  mud  as  grlniv  as  the  dregs  of  a 
shoe-black's  stine  bottle.  wnUe  the  enowj- plumage 
of  the  struggling  prisoners  were  fu>  changed  as  to 
give  them  the  aspect  of  rarte  ares  indeed-  UgJy  *  ahin- 
ners  *  from  the  hook  stocks,  m'^reovcr.  were  given 
end  received  in  the  meloo.  causing  us  to  feel  some- 
what in  tlie  condition  of  river-phonics  Sn  a  brisi;  gams 
of  polo.  Still  liigher  up.  at  the  Feathers,  we  ha*: 
another  good  catch  ;  ano  hTe,  hn%-ing  nicked  and 
scored  all  onr  birds'  biils  that  required  it,  we  un- 
tied their  legs  and  launched  them  upon  the  flood, 
ten  all  told.  Let  me  just  mention  here  thai 
when  cygnets  are  taken  they  are  marked  bZter  th« 
old  birds  in  whose  comp.nny  they  swim,  aud  whes 
the  pen  i-  a  Queen's  bird  and  the  cob  bears  a  Vint 
nera  or  a  Dyers'  notcli.  or  rw:*;  rerso,  the  brood 
is  divided  in  accoidance  with  certain  regulations. 
When  w©  reached  I'utney,  soon  s-Tter  f*  o'clock, 
the  strange  and  beautiful  stillnesa  <-f  the  river  sup. 
prised  us  greatly.  We  had  thought  to  find  it  crowded 
with  boats,  bht  somehow  we  seemed  to  have  out- 
stripped the  bank  holiday  and  all  its  belongings. 
The  tide  was  slnckeiiing.  and  the  water  was  not  only 
as  smooth,  but  as  clear  as  glass.  So  with  increasing 
pleasantness  of  green  boughs  and  fresh  grass  on  either 
side,  we  rowed  steadily  on.  the  sounds  of  the  oars  in 
the  rowlocks,  preceded  by  the  reguiar  plash  in  the 
calm  water,  lulling  »s  to  the  i>eaoefal  eenae 
of  a  morning's  he:ilt?iful  recreation.  At  Mort- 
lake  a  hearty  bre.i'Cfast  awaited  us  at  the  Ship, 
and  BOon  aircr  1 1  our  swan-hopping  recom- 
menced, and  was  rniuiuued  up  to  Thames  Dittoa. 
Here  1  mu£t  p!iiy  ileserter.  My  companions  of  yes- 
teriay  were  to  rest  at  thia  quiet  place  for  the  night, 
and  to  proceed  as  far  as  Siaiues  to.day.  Attei 
another  night's  halt  they  will  row  a  prescribed  dis- 
tance to-aiorrow;  will  sleep  as  before ;  and  ^ill 
finish  on  Thursday  at  Henley-on-Thame».  having.  1 
hope,  succeeded  in  outgeneraling  all  the  pens,  cobs, 
and  cygnets  they  may  meet.  Later  in  this  month  of 
AtoguKt  the  swans  down  the  river  as  far  as  Doptford 
cr  beyond,  will  be  pu--siied  and  marked ;  hut  sufll 
dent  for  the  day  are  the  pleasures  of  swan-hopping."

$10  per  acre,  and  that  there  is  about  12,000  to 
14.000  acres  vnld  land  in  the  county  subject  to  entry 
under  the  Homestead  law— the  cost  of  homestead 
entry  being  about  ;tl0  for  40  acres,  aud  $1S  for  60

our  correspondent  sends  ns  a  list  of  several  farmi 
offered  for  s&le  in  that  region.  One  is  a  farm  of  16C 
acres,  with  building«  and  orchard,  six  miles  south  o!

miles  from  Cuba,  comfortable  house,  good  watei; 
plenty  of  timber,  for  SiOO  ;  another,  of  120  acrea,

400  fmitUCffS.  for  $1,000;  another,  of  SO  acr«i,

These  prices  are  low  enough  to  pbice  the  farms 
offered  within  the  reach  of  an  indtistrious,  resolute 
man,  whether  he  has  money  to  pay  for  one  of  rbem 
or  not.  Thousands  of  persons  in  Missouri  have

that  Recurred  during  that  time,  his  own 
personal  experiences,  and  gUmpses  more 
or  less  TlTid,  of  most  of  ibe  actors 
in  the  same  scenes  with  him.  Katorally 
enough,  his  stand-point  is  a  prirate  and  indi- 
vidual one ;  his  political  -views  colored  his  esti- 
-^oates  of  men,  and  sometimes  made  blm 
nndnly  harsh  in  his  criticisms  of  persons  and 
poUcies.  But  the  impression  is  distinctiTely  that 
of  a  man  who  reflects  before  he  denounces,  who 
questions  the  sincerity  of  his  own  views  before 
committing  himself  to  them  as  principles  from 
Which  to  act  He  has  not  a  very  broad  or  lib- 
eral mind  under  certain  aspects,  although  his 
education  is  both  broad  and  liberaL  He  reads 
a  good  deal  of  Latin,  paraphrases  the  Psalms  of 
jDavid,  and  writes  poetry  of  a  miscellaneous 
.character  on  all  occasions,  but  he  is  not  devoid 
of  a  healthy  partisan  vigor  when  it  comes  to  a 
question  of  politics.  He  is  B^curious  mixture 
of  Massachusetts  uprightness  and  exactness,  of 
old-fashioned  learning,  and  of  American  poli- 
tics. But  he  was  educated  in  a  larger  school 
than  the  men  with  whom,  for  the  most  part,  he 
was  fated  to  work.  What  he  gained  by  his  ac- 
quaintance-with  the  great  men  of  the  Revolu- 
tion, and  through  the  inspiring  breath  of  the 
large  principles  of  that  age,  could  notjae  felt  by 
the  younger  politicians,  who  were  fighting  for 
mere  personal  and  petty  considerations.  Yet 
some  of  them  surpassed  him  in  cleverness  and 
success,  notwithstanding  his  advantages  of  po- 
litical and  private  education,  chiefly,  it  seems, 
from  a  lack  in  the  older  man  of  the  true  vigor 
of  genius.  Others  again  he  outlived  and  lived 
down,  in  his  quiet,  thorough,  and  somewhat 
plodding  way,  after  the  manner  taught  by  the 
fable  of  the  tortoise. 

John  Quincy  Adams  himself  remarks  on  the 
thoroughness  of  his  diary.  On  the  31st  of  Oc- 
tober, 1846,  when  he  must  have  realized  more 
than  ever  his  slender  hold  on  life,  he  writes : 

"  There  has,  perhap-r  not  been  another  Indlvidoal 
of  the  homan  race  of  whose  daily  eiisteuce,  from 
early  childhood  to  four  score  years,  has  been  noted 
<lotnj,  with  his  own  hand,  so  minutely  as  mine.  At 
little  more  than  1'2  years  of  age  I  began  to  jonmal- 
ize.  Rnd  nearlv  two  years  before  that,  on  the  lltli  of 
February,  1/78,  I  emttarked  from  my  matemai 
■ancle  Norton  Quincy's  house,  at  Mount  WoUas- 
ton,  ou  board  the  Boston  frigate  Captain  Samuel 
Tucker,  then  lying  in  Kautasket  Eoads,  and  bound  to 
Prance." 

On  the  14th  of  llarch,  1S47,  he  writes  what 
he  calls  a  posthumous  memoir,  calling  it  by  that 
name  because  on  the  20th  of  November  pre- 
vious, while  In  Boston,  he  was  attacked  with  a 
paralysis  of  his  faculties.  From  this  he  recov- 
ered, and  came  back  to  "Washington,  but  says : 
"From  that  hour  I  date  my  decease,  and  con- 
rider  myself,  for  every  useful  purpose  to  my- 
self or  to  my  fellow  creatures,  dead ;  and  hence, 
I  call  this  and  wlint  I  may  write  hereafter  a 
posthumous  memoir."  Yet  he  lived  almost  a 
Tear  after  writing  this,  and  stuck  to  his  post  in 
Conjrress.  It  was  not  till  the  21st  of  February, 
3  848,  that  he  suddenly  had  a  stroke  of  mortal 
il-'ness,  in  his  chair  in  the  House,  while  business 
was  pr<Sreeding.  Suoi  was  his  tenacity  of  pur- 
pose, shown  equally  in  the  writing  of  his  diary 
and  the  tragic  end  of  his  life. 
I  It  has  always  been  plain  that  John  Quincy 
Adams  conducted  this  diary  with  an  idea  of 
having  it  published.  In  the  present  volume  we 
And  him  giving  instructions  to  his  son  and  ex- 
ecutor for  the  carrying  out  what  may  be  termed 
laa  life-work-  €'he  abolition,  or,  at  any  rate; 
the  alow  extinction  of  slavery,  the  cessation  of 
war,  and  other  objects  of  less  importance  to  the 
country,  were  always  present  in  his  thoughts 
ind  dictated  a  large  number  of  his  acts,  but  his 
diary  was  mor^  than  anything  else  distinctively 
the  work  of  his  life.  It  is  strange  to  read  the 
outburst  of  regret  and  humility  that  occurs  to- 
ward the  close.  He  says  that  it  his  intellectual 
powers  had  been  such  as  have  been  sometimes 
committed  "by  the  Creator  of  man  to  single  in- 
dividuals of  the  species,**  his  diary  would  be 
the  most  valuable  and  precious  book,  next  to 
the  Holy  Scriptures,  ever  written  by  human 
hands,  and  that  he  would  have  been  one  of  the 
greatest  benefactors  of  his  country  and  mankind. 
"But,"  he  says,  "  conceptive  power  of  mind 
was  not  conferred  upon  me  b j  my  Maker,  and  I 
have  not  improved  the  scanty  portion  of  His 
gifts  as  I  might  and  ought  to  have 
done."  Tet  posterity  will  hardly  make 
that  last  charge  against  the  memory 
of  the  venerable  ei-President.  His  life 
is  witness  that  he  did  all  he  could  with  the 
powers  he  had  ;  that  he  allowed  no  faculties  to  ' 
go  to  waste.  His  editor  closes  the  work  with  the 
best  piece  of  verse  by  John  Quincy  Adams  that  it 
has  been  our  good  fortune  to  see.  It  is  a  sonnet 
to  the  sculptor  Hiram  Powers,  who  modeled  his 
bust  in  1837.  This  sonnet,  better  than  any- 
thing else,--may  leave  a  good  taste  in  the  month 
of  a  reader  who  by  chance  should  feel  like 
resenting  more  than  one  unfruitful  page  of  tills 
huge  diary : 

"  Sculptor  !  thy  hand  has  moulded  into  form 

The  haggard  features  of  a  toil-worn  face, 

And  whosoever  views  thy  work,  shall  traca 

An  age  of  sorrows,  and  a  life  of  storm. 

And  can<;t  thou  mould  the  heart  !  For  that  Is  warm, 

Glowin^f  with  tenderness  for  all  it-s  race. 

Instinct  with  all  the  sympathies  that  f^raee 
The  pure  and  artless  bosoms  where  they  swann. 
Artist !  may  fortune  smile  upon  thy  hand  I 

Go  forth  and  rival  Greece's  art  sublime  ; 
BetUTU.  and  bid  the  statesmen  of  thy  laud 

Live  in  thy  marble  through  all  after-time. 
Oh.  catch  the  tire  from   ileaven  Prometheos  stole, 
.  And  give  tlie  lifeless  block  a  breathing  soul." 

The  twelfth  voltmie  of  the  diary  continues 
the  record  of  the  Twenty-eighth  Congress  and 
enters  on  that  of  the  Twenty-ninth.  Almost 
half  the  volumo  is  taken  up  with  a  very  ftill 
and  apparently  very  accurate  index,  without 
which  such  a  publication  would  be  almost  use- 
less. The  style  of  the  last  items  in  the  jour- 
nal remains  very  much  the  same  as 
the  first.  It  is  a  plain,  straightforward, 
homely  diary,  lightened  now  and  then  by 
expressions  slightly  violent.  The  wonder  is 
that  it  is  not  more  so,  when  one  reflects 
how  much  bad  language  John  Quincy 
Adams  was  forced  to  hear  in  Congress.  One 
Item  mentions  iu  rather  Bepresentative  lan- 
gnage  that  in  a  debate  on  a  certain  occasion  a  - 
certain  member  opened  "  a  flood  of  fllth  and 
stench."  DougUs  is  alluded  to  with  disdain  as  , 
a  "  homnncnlus."  On  the  10th  of  June,  1844, 
he  reoords  the  vote  in  the  Senate  against  the  ' 
treaty  with  Texas,  and  says  :  "  I  record  this 
rot©  aa  a  deliverance,  I  trust,  by  the  special  in- 
terposition of  Almighty  God,  of  my  country  and  . 
of  htiman  lit>ert7  from  a  conspiracy  comparable 
tot  that  -  of  Lucius  Sergins  Catilina.  Dday  it  - 
jHTOve  not  a  temporary  deliverance  like  that, 
only  preliminary  to  the  fatally  successful  eon- 
■piiaey  of  Julius  Cssar.  The  annexation  of 
Texas  to  this  Union  is  the  first  step  to  the  con- 
qneet  of  all  Hexico,  of  the  West  India  Islands, 
of  a  maritime,  colonizing,  slave-tainted  mon- 
■rahy,  and  of  extinguished  freedom." 

This  was  the  energetic  opinion  of  one  of  the  . 
<^da(t  gtateamen  of  the  time,  and  before  smiling 
at  It  th*  condition  of  the  country  ought  to  be

la  publishing  a  colleotion  of  translations  | 
of  contemporaneous  foreign  literature,  Uessrs. 
Appleton  &  Co.  have  conceived  what  appears  to 
be  a  most  happy  idea.  No.  1  of  the  series 
is  unexceptionable  as  to  type  and  paper,  and, 
even  In  ttiese  stringent  times,  this  opening  vol- 
ume is  issueitat  such  a  reasonable  price  that  its 
purchase  can  scarcely  make  an  inroad  on  the 
most  economical  pocket.  We  n:iay  be  absolutely 
certain  that  a  watchful  discrimination  will  be 
exercised  by  the  publishers  as  to  the  character 
of  the  books  to  be  comprised  in  the  series. 
Many  French  books — even  those  most  in  vogue, 
which  agitate  Parisian  saloTis — are  too  often 
the  reflections  of  an  utterly  vicious 
social  organization.  That  somewhat  para- 
doxical criticism,  that  "  a  good  French  book 
Is  a  bad  book,"  is  not,  however,  true.  Those 
who  rail  at  French  literature  In  sweeping  terms, 
might  be  replied  to  in  the  same  curt  way  as 
was  employed  Ky  the  great  lexicographer, 
when  the  lady  complained  about  the  dictionary. 
French  contemporaneous  literature  abounds 
with  romances,  which  may  be  read  with  perfect 
impunity.  Nothin£_is  easier  in  making  selec- 
tions than  to  east  aside  those  books  which  are 
tainted.  That'hoiTibls.rBaliBm  which  goes  out 
of  the  way  to  write  o^  paint  wliat  la  coarsely 
disgusting  may  fall  to  its  lowest  depths  in  a 
Zola,  a  Droz,  or  a  Courbet.  When  the  last 
overthrows  a  public  monument  in  Paris,  such 
iconoclasm  can  be  repaired,  but  the  seed  sown 
by  a  Zola  or  a  Droz  in  France  is  to  be  reaped 
not  only  to-day,  but  to-morrow,  and  for  a 
centjuryto  come.  Its  perfect  fruitage  is  mad 
anarchy  and  bloody  revolution.  A  book  which 
could  turn  even  the  stomach  of  a  Swinburne, 
may  be  de3crit)ed,  indeed,  as  the  work  of  a  de- 
praved man  on  depraved  topics,  and  written! 
for  depraved  people.  There  are  no  mysteries 
about  such  productions.  No  one  of  common 
sense  who  reads  a  single  page  can  declare  un- 
consiousness  as  to  their  nieritricious  character. 
There  is  no  inveiglement.  Before  ten  pages  are 
read  the  unsavoriness  of  the  book  is  manifest. 
It  behoovesttbe  reader,  then,  to  drop  it,  and 
with  the  tongs  to  consign  it  to  the  flre  or  the

TictorCherbuliez'sSitmw*!  SroAJaiidCompanj/, 
as  a  work  of  artistic  character,  may  be  consid- 
ered one  of  his  cleverest  conceptions.     Cher- 
boliez  is  much  given  to  stories  in  which  the 
Polish  element  forms  an  important  part.     Most 
especially  does    quite  a   famous  book  of  this 
author,  Ladislas  Bolski,  bear  this  peculiar  im- 
print.   There  is  a  fund  of  sympathy  which  the 
world  acoonls  to  Poles,  which  makes  this  na- 
tionality   an      inexhaustible      source    whence 
a   clever    novelist    can    draw    his    inspiration. 
French  writers  have  an  expression  in  literary 
argot,   which  they  call  "  le  fairv,''  to  be  very 
vaguely  translated  "  by  the  working  up  of  a 
subject."     This  artistic  coustruction  is   a  talent  i 
Cherbuliez   possesses  in     a     marked     degree.  , 
Samuel  Brobl  is  a  double  man.     So  cleverly  is  ' 
this  dual  conception  carried  out  and  the  charac- 
ters of  the  Count  Abel  Larlnaki,  the  high-bred 
Polish  gentleman  and  refugee,  and  of  Samuel  , 
Brohl,  the  Jewish  adventurer,  merged  into  one  ( 
that  the  reader  mostly  sees  but  a  single  person-  ' 
age,  resultirg  from  the  homogeneous  blending  ' 
of  tT\-o    entirely  .opposite  in:iividualitie:i-     The  ! 
romance  opens  with  the  cai>ual  rencontre  of  the 
pseudo   Count     and   a    spirited    French    girl. 
Mile.     Antoinette     Moriaz,    the    da'oghtcr     of 
a      wealthy     French     Professor,     having     a  ' 
positive  will    of    her  own,    and    commanding  , 
all  her  surroundings,  meets  Brohl  at  the  Cathe-  ' 
dral   of    Charr,     Brohl  impoverished,   reduce'd  i 
to      the     last     extremity,     embodying      the  ; 
elegant     manners      of      tlie      Count,      who 
Is         dead,        knowing         that         Antoinette  i 
is  rich,  determines  ou   making  the  conquest  of  ■ 
the  lady  and  her  fortime.     Probably  had  the  ; 
true  Count  been  alive  he  would  have  entered  on  r 
a  similar  campaign.    Brohl  scarcely  opes  the 
character  of  the  Polish  nobleman,  for  the  a^l-    | 
►  venturer  is  a  consummate  comedian,  and,  in-   ! 
spired  by  the  role,   absolutely  lives  the  part. 
Brohl,  then,  is  fired  by  the  noblest,    loftiest  as- 
pirations, and  loses  his  own  individuality.     It  > 
his  own  wretched  self  appears  to  him  at  times,    j 
it  is  nothing  more  than   as   a   nightmare — soma 
horrid  psychological  aberration.     Antoinette's  ' 
father,  who  is  a  geologist,  gets  entangled  in  ' 
the  mazes  of  sotae  Tyrolean  crags,  and  owes  i 
his  rescue  to  Cotint  Larlnski.    Brohl  poses  be-  i 
fore  -Antoinette,  who,  though  oflPering  a  certain  , 
amount  of  resistance,  wall^,  with  her  eyes  wide    . 
open,  into  Oie  pittaE,  Brohl  is  highly  educated. 
Mme.  Guloff,  a  Russian  Princess,  has  rescued 
Brohl,  somewhere  in  Galicia,  from  a    life  of 
abject  misery,   and  made  him  her  dependent. 
Brohl  plays  the  piano,  can  sing,  can  talk  senti- 
-ment,  and  following  out  the  inspirations  of  the 
Polish  Count,  indulges  in  unlimited  nobility  of 
thought  and  action.     The  only  trouble  about 
Brohl  is  that  his  high-bred  appreciation  of  mun- 
dane matters  comes  by  spasms,  and  wants  easy 
continuity.    There  is  a  certain  Camille  Langis, 
an  engineer,   who  loves  Ant'jineftte.     Mme.  De 
Lorcy,  Camille  Langis'  aunt,  is  her  nephew's 
ally.    M.   Moriaz  is  watchful,    suspicious,   and  I 
has  but  a  half  lilting  for  the  count.     Mme.  De  { 
Lorcy,  a  sharp,  keen,  bu.siness  woman,  has  also   j 
her  doubts  as  to  the  character  of  the  Pole.     S3  1 
cleverly,  however,   has  Brohl  covered   up  his  ; 
tracks    that     there     is    no     discernible    flaw. ' , 
Without  a  hiatus  when  the  real  Cotint    dii^d, 
the  sham  Count  is  the  continuation.    But  the 
supreme  art  of  Cherbuliez  is  phown,  just  where  ■ 
here  and  there  Brohl  overacts  his  part.     Still 
Camille  hates  the  man,   intuitively  he  knows  ■ 
him  to  bo  a  sham.     Antoinette  and  Brohl  are 
about    being    married.     By  one  of    those  ac-  ; 
cidents     familiar    to    fiction,      the     Princess  ' 
Guloff    is    brought    on  the  scene    and  placed  ■ 
in     juxtaposition    with    BrohL      The      catas- 
trophe takes  place,   and  the   base  character  of  ' 
the  adventurer  is    exposed.      Thrown    off  his 
equilibrium,  the  low  instincts  of  the  inn-keeper's 
son  assume  their  mastery.    Brohl  exacts  from  i 
Camille  a  price  for  every  love-token  Antoinette  i 
Ixas  confided  to  him.     A   tariff  is  established.    ' 
The  lion  ^ves  place  to  the  jackall.    A  medallion, 
a  hood,  a  letter  or  two  of  Antoinette's,  are  worth  ! 
to   Brohl   25,000  franca.     But   jast  here,  as  I 
Brohl  clutches  the  crisp  bank-notes  in  his  hand,  : 
the  high  breeding  of  the  Counts  appears.   Brohl,  ' 
■with  melodramatic  flourish,  bums  up  the  notes 
in  the  candle,  and  an  instant  after  has  poignant  I 
regrets  at  his  aristocratic  layishness.     Biohl 
and  Camille  fight  a  duel,  anil  Camille  barely  , 
escapes  with  his  life.     Of  course,   the  conclu-  • 
slon  ends  as  it  should,  for  -Antoinette  marries  | 
Camille.    What  becomes  of  ISamnel  Brohl !    M.  1

TH£  BOOK  OF  PSALMS.  Utetally  Benderad  in 
'Verse.'  BytheHuqnlsofLoma  Kew-Tork:  Uao- 
xaLur  *  Co. 

This  is  an  extremely  vain  prodnction, 
very  characteristic,  too,  of  the  popular  and  ex- 
cellent young  man  whose  work  it  is.  Only  such 
a  person  as  Lord  Lome  wotild  have  set  down  to 
such  a  task,  and  it  is  certain  that  only  such  a 
person  as  he  would  have  completed  it.  We 
should  have  supposed  that  after  coming  out 
very  strong  on  the  first  psalm,  "  That  man  is 
blessed  who  walketh  not,"  &a.,  and  got  well 
throogh  the  second.  "  Why  rage  the  heathen  I" 
&c,  any  rightly  organized  youth  would  have 
broken  down  on  the  third.  But  Lord  Lome  has 
written  them  all  out  down  to  the  one  hundred 
and  fiftieth,  with  second  and  in  some  oases 
third  versions. 

The  author  says  that  his  reason  for  the  publi- 
cation of  the  book  is  that  many  of  the  words  of 
the  authorized  version,  (written  in  1650  by 
Bous,)  which  formerly  might  have  been  con- 
sidered to  rhyme  together,  certainly  do  not 
rhyme.  Aa  this  want  of  rhyme  is  not  agreeable 
to  most  ears.  Lord  Lome  thinks  there  is  a  need 
of  a  new  version.  His  version  is  as  nearly 
literal  as  possible,  the  use  of  the  actual  words 
of  the  Bible  being  alone  satisfactory  to  ears  ac- 
ctistomed  to  Bous'  Psalms— to  the  people  of  the 
Scottish  Chtuvhes,  in  short,  for  whom  the  book 
is  Intended. 

The  reader  will  get  a  notion  of  thfe  character 
of  the  book  by  the  following  rendering  of  "  The 
Lordismy  Shepherd,!  shall  not  want.  Helead- 
ethme,"  &c. : 

I 
"  Mv  shepherd  is  the  Lord,  and  I 
Shall  never  want  or  fear ; 
To  streams  of  comfort  Ha  me  leads 
By  quiet  waters  clear. 

n. 

"  He  makes  me  lie  in  pastures  green ; 
Mr  sotd  He  doth  restore : 
For  'His  name's  sake  in  righteous  paths, 
He  leads  me  evermore. 

The  following  is  from  the  authorized  Scottish 
version : 

"  The  Lord's  my  shepherd.  III  not  want ; 
He  makes  me  down  to  lie 
In  pastures  ereen  ;  He  leadetb  me 

The  qniet  waters  by. 
My  soul  He  doth  restore  again. 

And  me  to  walk  doth  make 
Within  the  paths  of  rifihtaousness 
£v'n  for  His  own  name's  soke." 
The  author's  task  would  appear  to  have  beeiT 
doubly  hard,  in  view  of  his  being  himself  of 
the  opinion  that  there  should  be  no  rhyme  ver- 
sion of  the  psalms.     *'  It  is  impossible,"  he  says, 
"  to  engage  in  this  work  without  feeling  that  it 
is  a  mistake  to  twist  into  rhyme  the  beautiful 
prose  of  the  original,  and  that  it  is  best  to  sing 
the  psalms  without  alteration." 

Lord  Lome  has  attempted  a  somewhat  more 
varied  versification  of  the  Psalms  than  that  of 
the  authorized  Scottish  Psalm-book.  But  he 
has  not  attempted  any  of  the  irregtilar  metres 
Into  which  Milton  has  rendered  the  poetry  of 
David.  It  will  be  interesting  to  compare  Lord 
Lome's  version  of  the  concluding  part  of  the 
third  P.salm  with  that  of  Milton.  This  is  Lord 
Lome's : 

*'  Kot  for  ten  thousands  of  the  folk 
Will  I,  then,  he  afraid. 
That  stand  atcuhist  me  rotmd  about ; 
Arise,  Lord,  to  my  aid. 

"  Help.  O  ray  God,  for  Thou  my  foes 
t'pon  tile  cheek  dost  smite; 
The  teeth  of  the  uiisodly  Thou 
Hast  broken  by  Thy  luight. 

"  Salvation  doth  alono  belong 
Unto  the  Lord  most  hij^h; 
Upon  Tliv  people  evermore 
O  lot  Thy  blessing  lie." 

The  following  is  Milton's,  which,  thotigh  the 
work  of  a  master  of  verse,  does  not  seem  much 
like  the  Psalms  :  ^i^ 

"  Of  many  miilions 
The  popnlous  rnu't 
I  fear  not,  though,  rncamning  round  about, 

lliey  pitch  BKninst  uif  tneh  pavilions. 
Rise,  Lord  ;  save  lue,  my  tiod !  for  Thou 
limil  smote  ere  now 

On  the  cheek-bone  all  my  foes. 
Of  raen  abhorred 

Hast  broke  the  teeth.     This  help  was  from 
the  Lord.  • 

Thy  blessing  on  Tliy  p^ple  flows." 
We  have  no  doubt  that  these  rhymed  Psalms 
of  the  MarquLs  of  Lome  will  have  considoruble 
circulation  in  England,  where  his  high  rank, 
his  romantic  ancestry,  und  romantic  marriage, 
and,  it  may  not  bo  improper  to  aad\  ills  ex- 
tremely prepossessing  personal  appearance, 
have  made  him  a  great  favorite.

it,  entered.  He  aeposited  his  fare  and  sat  down 
uejct  the  fare-boi.  In  a  few  moments  the  other  pas- 
sengers in  the  car  saw  his  bead  drop  back  and  his 
whole  frame  commence ,  t4j  shake.  'They  called  the 
attention  of  the  driver  to  the  fact,  telhng  him  tlita

and  pronounced  that  death  was  caused  by  apoplexy. 
"The  deceased  was  uubse<iuently  identitled  as  August 
Geiger,  aged  48  years,  and  a  native  of  Germany.'

A    DRA2iATIC  LIBEL   SUIT. 

A  suit  for  alleged  libel  has  been  beg^un  in  the 
Superior  Court  by  Mr.  De  Bonay  against  C.  A.  Byrne 
and  Josh  Hart,  respectively  editor  and  proprietor 
of  a  paper  called  the  Dramatic  Xcicg.  Sir.  De  Bonay 
says  he  obtained  from  the  author  the  exclusive  right 
to  play  the  drama  entitled  "  Poor  Jo."  The  author 
of  the  play  is  a  Mr.  Woolf  who,  Mr.  De  Bonay  claims, 
did  not  carry  out  his  agreement,  but  furnished  the 
plav  to  Miss  Carj'.  The  suit  for  libel  rests  upon  an 
article  entitled  •*  Mr.  De  Bonay  Ri^es  to  Explain," 
which  was  printed  in  the  I>ramatic  Xrw»  on  Satur- 
day, and  which.-  Mr.  Do  Bonay  claims,  abuses  and 
vUifies  him  in  connection  with  his  right  to  the  play.

rett  &  Palmer.  The  latter  put  in  an  answer  immedi- 
ately after  being  served  with  the  papent.  In  it  they 
alleged  that  Danziger  had  been  eject«d  because  he 
and  a  friend  of  his  used  violent  and  profane  language. 
and  blocked  up  the  gangway  of  the  boat,  Danziger 
and  his  friend  were,  however,  afterward  allowed  to

I^*  Advertisement  for  The  Weekxt  Times 
must  be  banded  in  before  G  o'clock  this  evening. 


Tlie  Signal  Service  report  indicates  for  to- 
day, for  the  Middle  and  yew-England  States, 
varmer  southerly  winds,  stationary  pressure, 
and  clear  or  partly  cloudy  weather. 

The  Eepublican  State  Committee  meets 
to-day  to  fix  on  the  time  and  place  for  hold- 
ing the  State  Convention.  The  choice  of  a 
place  of  meeting  seems  to  lie  between 
Eochester  and  L'tiea,  v.-ith  all  the  argu- 
ments admissible  in  such  a  case  decidedly  in 
favor  of  the  former.  The  call  will  doubtless 
b«  as  comprehensive  in  statement  and  as 
eoncUiatory  in  tone  as  those  of  late  years. 
It  will  probably  be  responded  to  by  a  body 
of  more  truly  representative  Republicans 
than  have  been  recently  seen  at  State  con- 
rventions,  just  as  the  campaign  which  it  will 
jset  in  motion  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
;inost  remarkable  which  has  been  seen  in  the 
lEmpire  State.  According  to  all  precedent  this 
ought  to  be  an  ''off  year"  in  politics,  but 
among  other  remarkable  phenomena  of  the 
time  not  the  least#s  that  the  people  remain, 
af  cer  the  exhaustion  of  a  Presidential  year, 
»s  liable  to  be  stirred  by  questions  of  parti- 
^n  supremacy  in  New- York  as  if  they  had 
[been  violently  awakened  from  a  state  of  po- 
Viical  apathy. 


fA.  quarrel  is  brewing  in  the  Democratic 
happy  family  over  the  nominations  for  State 
officers.  Gov.  Eobinson  has  signified, 
through  the  Albany  Argus,  his  "  desire"  that 
all  the  present  State  officers  should  be  re- 
oiorainated.  llr.  John  Kelly  is  pretty  well 
Tinderstood  to  desire  that  they  shall  not  be 
le  nominated,  and  some  of  his  joumal- 
iitie  echoes  have  already  intimated  that 
It  would  be  decidedly  inexpedient  to  comply 
with  the  desire  of  the  Governor  on  this 
point.  .  With  characteristic  impudence  the 
Argus  revives  the  well-worn  figures  about 
the  reduction  of  the  State  t^,_^to 
ihow  not  only  that  Democratic  ad- 
ministration has  earned  the  grati- 
tude of  the  people,  but  that  the  Demo- 
cratic-State officers  elected  in  1875shouldbe 
Te-elected,  as  "  a  vindication  of  their  course  " 
in  effecting  the  reductions  aforesaid.  As 
t'nere  are  Democratic  journals  whose  faith  in 
{popular  idiocy  is  not  quite  so  strong  as  that 
»f  the  Albany  Argus,  it  may  be  worth 
while  recalling  the  following  factsr"  These 
figures  did  duty  a  year  ago ;  their  assumed 
significance  was  so  thoroughly  exploded 
"then  that  the  i-ural  voters,  to  whom  they 
■were  chiefly  addressed,  found  in  them  a 
fresh  reason  for  voting  against  TiLDEN  j 
every  one  save  some  very  ignorant  Demo- 
cratic ^  voters — whose  allegiance  is  per- 
fectly ;  secure — ^knows  that  the  reduction 
in  the  State  taxation  for  1875-6  was 
accomplished  through  Republican  agencies, 
just  as  the  heavy  taxation  of  the  two  pre- 
ceding years  .was  the  result  of  Democratic 
tampering  with  the  State  sinking  funds. 
jThe  State  officers  whose  term  ends  next 
QDeeember  have  had  as  much  to  do  with  the 
reduction  of  State  taxes  as  the  man  in  the 
mooiL 


The  strike  in  the  coal  regions,  other  than 
the  SehnyUdll  Valley,  still  continues,  and  the 
latter  section  is  the  only  one  from  whioh 
coal  is  now  being  sent  forward  in  anything 
like  the  usual  quantities.  Nominally  prices 
are  from  10  to  15  cents  a  ton  higher 
than  last  week,  bat  praotioally  there  is  no 
defined  price  in  the  New- York  market. 
jWhere  ooalis  held,  the  market  allows  either 
an  acknowledged  advance,  or  the  imposition 
of  conditions  as  tO'qaality,freights,  &c.,whioh 
is  equi-valent  to  an  advance.  The  present 
prospect  is  that 'the  anthracite  companies 
Will  either  obtain  the  reduction  in  wages 
jirhieh  they  hsv«  proposed,  or  will  ihorten 
Ibe  ■dppljrjot  ooal  snfflwiently  to   enable- 


ti^em  to  pay  higher  wages,  and  the  latter 
appears  at  present  the  more  probable  con- 
tingency. But  the  outlook  is  still  very  un- 
certain, and  all  prediction  regarding  the  fu- 
ture extremely  hazardous. 


At  an  important  meeting  of  the  Pittston 
coal  miners  yesterday  it  was  decided  to 
continue  the  strike  occasioned  by  a  refusal 
to  advance  the  current  rate  of  wages.  The 
resolution  of  the  meeting  commits  3,500 
working  men  to  voluntary  idleness  when 
they  could  work  if  they  chose.  But  it  is 
noticeable  that  1,000  men  assembled  in 
mass-meeting  decided  the  step  for  the 
whole  body  of  workers.  And  of  these 
1,000  men  only  a  bare  majority  was 
obtainable  by  means  which  amounted 
to  a  very  little  less  than  terrorism. 
It  is  not  unlikely  that  a  full  and  free 
conference  and  expression  of  opinion 
would  have  resulted  in  a  defeat  of  the  pro- 
posal to  continue  the  strike.  As  it  was,  out 
of  17  subdivisions  of  the  workers,  10  nomi- 
nally voted  in  favor  of  remaining  idle,  and 
7  in  favor  of  resuming  work.  This  seems  a 
fair  opportunity  for  arbitration.  Some  of 
the  men  bitterly  said  that  they  might  as 
well  starve  in  idleness  as  at  work.  Yet  the 
advance  demanded  was  large  ;  and  it  seems 
possible  that  between  the  alleged  starvation 
wages  of  the  men  and  the  23  per  cent,  ad- 
vance asked  for  there  might  be  some  basis 
found  for  a  compromise. 


The  curious  burlesque  of  an  election  can- 
vass which  is  being  enacted  in  France  has 
gained  a  new  element  of  absurdity  from  the 
resolution  to  prosecute  M.  Gambetta  for 
"  insiUting  "  President  MacMahon  and  the 
Ministers.  IhSt  is  to  say,  M.  Gambetta 
informed  the  people  that  in  face  of  a  Repub- 
lican majority  as  a  result  of  the  pending  elec- 
tions, the  etdministration  could  not  afford  to 
disregard  the  obvious  desire  of  the  people 
to  have  a  Republican  policy.  When,  under 
a  Government  nominally  free,  it  is  held  to 
be  a  punishable  contempt  of  the  chief  of 
the  State  to  jnaintain  that  he  must  be  guided 
in  his  action  by  constitutional  methods, 
the  reign  of  absolutism  can  hardly 
be  far  off-  There  can  be  no  doubt 
that  the  imperialist  tactics  of  M.  FouRTor, 
and  the  rabid  attempts  at  political  terror- 
ism of  the  MacMahon  agents  generally, 
will  bring  capital  to  the  Republican  cause, 
but  it  is  equally  beyond  question  that  the 
legitimate  outcome  of  such  a  policy  can,  in 
the  probable  event  of  a  Republican  tri- 
umph, only  be  a  coup  d'etat. 


SILVER  AXD    COMMOy-SEySE. 

We  have  already  alluded  to  the  letter  of 
Senator  Cheistianct  to  the  editor  of  the 
Chicago  Inter-Ocean  on  the  silver  question ; 
but  the  letter  is  so  clear  and  intelligent  a 
statement  of  essential  faces  in  that  question 
that  our  readers  will  thank  us  for  reprint- 
ing it  in  full,  which  we  do  this  morning. 
It  is  valuable  on  account  of  the  position  oif 
the  author  and  his  weight  and  influence  in 
the  Senate,  and  also  on  account  of  the  fact 
that  doctrine  so  sound  does  not  often 
originate  or  circulate  in  the  West,  though 
we  are  bound  to  say  that  both  Senator 
Christiancy  and  his  immediate  predecessor, 
Senator  CHANa(,ER,  have  been  radically 
right  on  the  important  questions  of  finance. 

There  was  just  a  tinge  of  what  we  must 
be  allowed  to  call  demagogy  in  the  way  the 
editor  of  the  Inter-Ocean  put  his  question  to 
the  Senator  and  the  others  whom  he  ad- 
dressed. He  asked  them  whether  they  were 
in  favor  of  the  repeal  of  the  law  of  1873, 
and  "  the  restoration  of  the  dollar  of  the 
fathers  to  its  old  place  in  the  coinage."  To 
which  Senator  Christiancy  very  pointedly 
replies  that  he  does  not  "believe  that  the 
power  of  Congress  or  the  most  ab- 
solute and  despotic  human  power  can 
give  '  the  dollar  of  the  fathers  its 
old  place  in  the  coinage'  of  this 
country,  unless  either  the  standard  of  gold 
shall  be  lowered,  or  that  of  silver  raised — 
that  is,  unless  the  gold  coinage  shall  contain 
less  pure  gold  or  the  silver  dollar  more 
pure  silver."  "It  is  the  market  value,"  hg 
explaiiis,  "  regulated  by  tlje  laws  of  supply 
and  demand,  which  will  govern  the  circula- 
tion, in  spite  of  all  the  legislation  in  the 
world.  The  first  effect,  therefore,  of  restor- 
ing '  the  dollar  of  our  farthers  to  its  old  place 
in  the  currency,'  making  it  a  legal  tender 
for  all  debts,  would  be  to  drive  gold  out  of 
circulation  as  money  and  cause  it  to  be 
hoarded  or  exported;  unless  we  can  sup- 
pose that  debtors  generally  will  be  willing 
to  pay  more  to  extinguish  their  debts  when 
they  can  just  as  readily  extinguish  them  by 
paying  less." 

After  detailing  his  project  for  employing 
silver  in  the  coinage  without  producing 
confusion  or  practical  debasement — of  which 
we  shaU  have  more  to  say  presently — the 
Senator  lays  down  the  following  principles 
as  to  the  so-called  "  double  standard,"  prin- 
ciples with  which  we  tnist  all  the  readers 
of  Mr.  Christlajjcy's  letter  in  the  West  will 
struggle  conscientiously  until  they  have 
mastered  them  :  "  Whatever  the  law  in  any 
commercial  country  may  have  been,  to  what- 
ever extent  both  (silver  and  gold)  may  have 
been madealegaltenderin payment  of  debts, 
apd  whatever  the  ratio  of  the  two  metals 
as  fixed  by  the  law,  there  has  practically 
never  been,  for  any  lengtl^  of  time,  and  never 
can  be  (when  the  ratio  of  such  values  fixed 
by  law  differs  very  materially  from  the 
T^,tio  according  to  the  market  value)  but  one 
of  them  really  the  standard  of  value  at  the 
same  time.  The  comparative  market  value 
of  one  would  be  higher  and  of  the  other 
lower  than  the  ratio  fixed  by  l»w,  and  that 
one,  for  the  time  being,  which  happened  by 
the  market  value  to  be  lower  than  the  ratio 
fixed  by  law  necessarily  became  almost  the 
exclusive  currency,  while  the  other  was 
hoarded  or  exported,  and  became  in  effect  a 
commodity  rather  than  a  circulating  me- 
dium. 

Senator  Cheibtiancy  could  not  have  done  a 
greater  service  than  in  calling  the  attention 
of  those  who  are  agitating  the  remonetiza- 
tion  of  silver  to  the  truths  which  he  has  here 
explained,  and  which  lie  above  and  beyond 
the  domain  of  legislation,  and  can  no  more 
be  controlled  by  legislationj^than  could 
the  movement  of  the  tides.  One  of 
the  -most  curious  characteristics  of 
the*  enthusiastic  advocate  of  "the  (fol- 
iar of  our  fathers"  is  the  coolness  with 
which  he  assumes  the  omnipotence  of 
Congress  and  his  own  onmisoience.  To  him 
the  world  of  finance  and  commerce  is  a  vir- 
gin field,  with  whioh  he  can  deal  according 
to  his  fancy.  If  he  chooses  to  say  that 
there  can  be  a  double  standard,  and  that 
nothing  is  needed  to  establish  it  but  an  act 
of  Congress,  that  is  an^end  of  the  matter.  If 


the  facts  do  not  sgfee  with  his  theory,  he 
will  feel  a  sort  of  scornful  pity  for  the  facts, 
but  he  will  not  change  his  theory.  He  is 
profoundly  convinced  that  Congress  stands  at 
the  beginning  of  things  and  draws  its  power 
from  the  head-spring  of  all  power,  so  that 
it  can  shape  the  affairs  of  the  Ameri- 
can people  absolutely  to  suit  itself. 
Judge'  Christiancy  is  not  bitten  by 
this  delusion.  He  understands  that 
the  forces  whioh  simple  and  universal 
human  needs  and  desires  set.  at  work  in  the 
transaction  of  the  daily  affairs  of  a  com- 
mercial people  cannot  be  defied  or  over- 
come by  legislation,  however  absolute.  As 
he  presents  his  views  as  an  advocate  of  the 
employment  of  silver  in  the  currency,  they 
may  receive  more  attention  than  they  would 
from  one  of  what  the  Western  papers  are 
pleased  to  call  the  "Gdldooracy  of  the  East." 
Judge  Christianct's  plan  for  the  nse  of 
silver,  without  incurring  the  evils  of  depre- 
ciated coin,  will  be  found  stated  in  his  let- 
ter. It  recognizes  clearly  the  dangers  and 
difficulties  attending  fluctuation  in  the  rela- 
tive values  of  two  kinds  of  legal  tender, 
and  proposes  to  avoid  these  by  a  commis- 
sion who  should  fix  at  short  intervals  the 
rates  in  which  gold  and  silver  coin 
should  be  exchangeable  as  legal  ten- 
der. But  we  are  bound  to  say  that 
this  device  seems  to  us  to  only 
bring  out  in  stronger  relief  the  insuperable 
nature  of  the  obstacles  to  the  employment 
of  silver  as  a  legal  tender  at  the  same  time 
with  gold.  The  frequent  adjustment  of 
legal  values  by  a  commission  would  require 
the  exercise  of  an  almost  despotic  power  on 
the  part  of  the  Commissioners,  and  would 
expose  them  not  only  to  temptation,  but  to 
suspicion  whioh  no  resis&nce  of  temptation 
could  allay.  Every  announcement  which 
they  made  would  work  a  change  of  greater  or 
less  extent  in  the  value  of  a  large  amount  of 
indebtedness,  and  though  they  were  as  pure  as 
snow  they  could  not" 'scape  calumny."  On  the 
other  hand,  however  frequent  their  adjust- 
ments, and  however  discreetly  and  honestly 
made,  they  could  not  avoid  doing  injustice 
and  inflicting  injury.  They  could  not  keep 
exact  pace  with  the  fluctuations  of  value 
at  all  times  and  under  all  circumstances. 
In  short,  no  arbitrary  agency  could  possibly 
prove  an  acceptable  substitute  for  that  com- 
plex but  unfailing  force  which  results  from 
the  unchecked  play  of  individual  interests 
and  individual  desires.  The  second  plan; 
wo  may  add  —  namely,  the  adjustment 
of  the  values  of  gold  and  silver  by  a 
change  of  the  quantity  of  pure  metal  in 
the  respective  coins,  to  suit  the  fluctuations 
in  the  mai'ket — strike  us  as  a  clumsy  and 
radically  mischievous  proposition.  And  the 
advantages  hoped  for  by  the  Senator  from 
his  projects,  as  well  as  the  difficulties  feai'ed 
from  the  emijloyment  ol^old  alone  as  the 
basis  of  currency,  afe,  in  our  judgment, 
purely  imaginary.

The  detailed  statements  of  condition  of 
the  City  savings  banks  on  the  1  st  of  July 
have  already  appeared  in  the  news  columns 
of  The  TiMfis,  but  as  the  significance  of  such

be  useful  to  examine  them  in  respect  to  im-

'Decrease. 

In  comparisons  of  these  figures  it  must  be 
borne  in  mind  that  the  banks  covered 
by  the  two  dates  are  not  quite  identical, 
the  older  table  omitting  a  few  small  ones, 
together  with  the  German  and  the  Union 
Dime.  There  appeai-s  an  increase  in  every 
item  but  the  first,  and  in  that  a  decrease  is 
not  quite  undesirable.  Allowing  for  the 
two  banks  just  named,  there  appears  to  be 
no  marked  change  in  stocks  and  bonds,  but 
a  very  decided  increase  in  holdings  of  gov- 
ernments, tallying  thus  with  the  known  fact 
that  some  of  the  largest  banks  have  been 
liberal  takers  of  the  funding  bonds ;-  this  is 
emphatically  as  it  should  be,  for  govern- 
ments are  th*  very  best  foundation  for  sav- 
ings banks,  and  the  relative  holding  of  them 
will  be  found  a  prettK^accurate  gauge  of  the 
age  and  strength  of  the  banks.  The  gov- 
ernments now  exceed  the  mortgages  and 
are  about  30  per  cent,  of  assets,  against 
about  24  per  cent,  at  the  end  of  1876  and 
25  per  cent,  at  the  eila  of  1875. 

The  following  taole,  covering  the  City 
banks  for  the  eleven  and  a  half  years  be- 
ginning with  the  end  of  1876  may  be 
interesting :  *

The  movement  of  the  average  balance 
has  not  been  a  healthy  one.  The  average 
stood  lowest  at  the  end  of  1871,  and  rose 
to  its  highest  at  the  en4  of  1876.  The 
reason  is  a.%  hand,  being  simply  that  many 
persons  belonging  to  the  ' '  capitalist "  class 
have  been  using  the  savings  barfks,  in  the 
absence  of  an  adequate  demand  for  money, 
as  a  place  of  safe  deposit,  taking  for  it  any 
interest  they  could  get.  Hard  times  may 
thus  produce  simultaneously  an  increase  of 
deposits,  an  increase  of  withdrawals,  an  in- 
crease in  surplus,  a  decrease  in  the  number 
of  accoimts,  and  an  increase  in  the  average 
balance.  The  increase  in  deposits  may  arise 
by  the  disposition  of  owners  of  4arge  sums 
to  secure  them ;  this  change  in  the  nature  of 
accounts  may  more  than  offset  the  with- 
drawals by  small  depositors,  under  pressure 
or  under  fear ;  the  forfeitures  of  accrued 
interest  may  thus  increase  the  surplus,  and 
yet  every  one  of  these  changes  is  really  in- 
dicative of  general  hurt  and  financial  ill- 
health.  The  largest  deposits  at  present 
we  are  unable  to  state,  but  at  the 
opening  of  the  year  they  ran  as  high  as 
15,000  in  the  Manhattan,  $10,000  in  the 
Dry  Dock,  $18,277  in  the  Irving,  $40,000 
in  the  Seamen's,  and  $89,779  in  the  Metro- 


politan. The  average  balance  in  several  of 
the  large  banks  is :  TTnion  Dime,  $333  ; 
Greenwich,  $375;  Seamen's,  $450,  Bowery, 
$485  ;  Emigrant,  $520.  This  is  much 
higher  than  the  general  average,  indicating, 
as  wotdd  naturally  be  the  case,  that  the 
large  accounts  seek  the  strong  banks.  Of 
course,  afew  extra  heavy  accounts  in  a  bank 
materially  raise  the  average  balance.  The 
general  act  of  May  17,  1875",  forbids  allow- 
ing any  account  to  exceed  $5,000,  unless 
made  in  pursuance  of  an  order  of  the  court, 
or  prior  to  the  passage  of  the  act ;  hence, 
the  inference  from  the  very  slight  decline  in 
the  average  is  that  the  heavy  accounts  are 
in  general  more  than  two  years  old,  and  are 
retained  by  the  continued  dullness  of  money. 

The  law  of  1875  restricts  organization  of 
new  banks  by  requiring,  first,  the  advertis- 
ing of  notice  of  intention  in  the  local  papers, 
every  savings  bank  in  the  countri'.to  be 
served  with  a  copy  ;  the  Superintendent  is 
then  to  ascertain,  as  best  he  can,  whether 
the  proposed  bank  is  needed,  is  in  proper 
hands,  and  is  likely  to  be  a  public  benefit ; 
if  not  satisfied  on  these  points,  ho  refuses 
his  consent,  and  there  the-  matter  .stops.  In- 
vestments may  be  only  in  governments,  in 
securities  of  this  State,  or  of  any  State 
which  lias  not  for  ten  years  previous  de- 
faulted on  any  debt  authorized  by  any  of  its 
Legislatures  ;  in  municipal  bonds  in  this 
State  ;  in  real  estate  necessary  for  use,  the 
building  to  be  suitable  for  revenues,  and  its 
total  cost  not  to  exceed  one-half  the  net 
surplus  ;  in  real  estate  obtained  on  fore- 
closure ;  in  first  mortgages  within  the 
State  up  to  50  per  cent,  on  iihproved 
property  and  40  per  cent,  on  unimproved, 
but  more  than  60  per  cent,  of  deposits  may 
be  put  out  on  mortgage,  and  no  loan  maybu 
made  except  on  report  of  an  examining 
committee,  wliieh  report  shall  be  kept  on 
file.  Interest  is  restricted  to  6  per  cent, 
after  reserving  a  portion  of  earnings  toward 
an  authorized  surplus,  which  may  be  grad- 
ually accumulated  up  to  10  per  cent,  of  de- 
posits ;,^^stimating  surplus  securities  shall 
be  taken  at  market  value,  real  estate  at  not 
above  cost,  mortgages  not  in  arrears  over 
six  months  at  their  face,  mortgages  or  se- 
curities longer  in  arrears  at  the  rate  judgi'd 
by  the  Superintendent  as  best  he  may.  He 
shall  visit  and  examine  everj'  bank  at  dis- 
cretion, and  always  once  in  two  years  ,  when- 
ever satisfied  that  any  bank  is  either  vio- 
lating law  or  is  following  unsafe  practices, 
or  whenever  he  judges  it  "  unsafe  or  inex- 
pedient "  foranybanktocontinue  in  ousiuess, 
he  shall  institute  proceedings  which  may 
look  to  removal  of  Trustees,  to  transfer  to. 
or  consoldidiitiou  with,  some  other  bank,  or 
to  such  relief  as  may  be  required.  The 
amendatory  act  of  May  10  last,  which  took 
effect  July  1,  goes  further  in  rigidity.  It 
raises  the  limit  of  authorized  surplus  from 
10  per  cent,  to  15,  and  cuts  down  the  rate 
of  interest  from  6  to  5  per  cent.,  allowing 
the  accumulation  after  reaching  the  lull 
surplus  to  be  dirided  trienniailyasan  extra: 
as  before,  Trustees  voting  fur  interest  divi- 
dends above  the  legal  rate  are  made  per- 
sonally liable  for  the  excess.  In  estimating 
surplus  the  rule  is  chaug«;d  so  tiiut  securi- 
ties are  to  be  taken  at  par  instead  of  mar- 
ket value,  and  at  their  market  value  when 
that  is  below  par.  A  July  as  well  as  a 
January  report  is  also  required. 

Too  much  exactness  in  comoiirisons  of 
the  figures  given  must  not  be  e.vpected. 
The  number  of  bauks  has  bL-on  chu?i<.'iu^'. 
and  they  have  all  been  passing  through  a 
transition  period,  so  that  the  figures  only 
indicate  the  general  movement.  Dearly  a? 
it  has  been  paid  for.  the  experience  of 
the  banks  since  1870  has  worked  out  a 
refoi-m  in  the  law  which  was  sorely  neeled. 
and  it  now  devolves  upon  the  Legislature  as 
a  most  serious  duty  as  to  which  every  ap- 
proach of  political  feeling  should  be  pre- 
vented, to  see  to  it  that  the  vacant  office  of 
Superintendent  is  so  filled  that  hencefor- 
ward the  goardiansliip  of  the  State  shall  be 
a  reality  and  not  a  snare  for  the  poor  and 
trusting.  The  wrong  inflicted  by  .  the 
State's  fiioral  malfeasance  in  its!  soVf-as- 
sumed  djty  is  not  smaller  in  the  view  of 
the  economist  than  in  that  of  the  moralist. 


SUBSIDIES  FOB  SEyTIMEXT. 
Two  steam-ship  companies  doing  business 
on  the  Pacific  Ocean  arc  applicants  to  Con- 
gress for  subsidies  amounting  to  $1,000,000 
per  annum.  Each  of  the  corporations 
asks  for  half  a  million  a  year.  The  Pa- 
cific Mail  Steam-ship  Company  received  in 
subsidies,  beginning  with  IS 05,  the  amount 
of  $5,000,000.  It  is  now  an  applicant  for  a 
renewal  of  the  old  grant.  The  Occidental 
and  Oriental  Steam-shVp  Company,  originally 
organized  as  an  opposition  corporation  to 
the  Pacific  Mails,  asks  a  similar  amount, 
and  its  managers  decline  to  carr\'  the 
mails'  any  longer  for  the  sea  postage. 
Thisl  company  is  made  up  of  American 
citizens,  but  its  steamers  are  all  under 
the  British  flag.  It  was  said,  when  the 
line  was  organized,  that  the  ships  were  tem- 
porarily chartered,  and  that  they  would  be 
speedily  replaced  by  American-built  ves- 
sels. The  line  is,  to  all  intents  and  p'arposes, 
to-day  just  what  it  was  when  it  first  went 
into  operation.  The  Occidental  and  Orien- 
tal Company  was  brought  into  existence  in 
consequence  of  a  dispute,  or  lack  of  harmony, 
between  tlie  Pacific  railroads  and  the  Paci- 
fic Mail  Steam-ship  Company.  The  latter 
corporation  not  only  controlled  the  freight 
traffic  between  San  Francisco  and  China 
and  Japan,  but  it  had,  and  still  .has,  a 
line  of  steamers  connecting  San  Fran- 
cisco with  New-York,  by  the  way  of 
the  isthinus  of  Panama.  At  one 
time  this  powerful  corporation  also  practi- 
cally controlled  the  Panama  Railroad,  thus 
gaining  an  interrupted  line  of  steam  com- 
munication between  the  Pacific  and  the  At- 
lantic coasts  of.  the  Republic.  The  man- 
agers of  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  (Com- 
pany were,  therefore,  largely  dependent  on 
the  caprice  or  self-interest  of  the  Pacific 
Mail  Company  for  a  .share  of  the  through 
traffic  between  Chinese  and  Japanese  ports 
and  New-York.  The  great  flourish  of  trum- 
pets made  over  the  opening  of  "  the  high- 
way of  nations,"  when  the  trans-continen- 
tal railway  was  finished,  was  likely  to  be 
burlesqued  by  the  Pacific  Mail  Company 
when  it  coolly  diverted  the  com- 
merce of  the  aforesaid  nations  by 
the  old  route  across  the  Isthmus  of  Panama. 
After  a  series  of  negotiations  which  en- 
livened the  stock  market  for  weeks,  the 
Central  Pacific  people  created  a  sub-organi- 
zation of  their  own,  which  they  called  by 
the  high-sonnding  title  now  borne  by  the 
Occidental  and  Oriental  Steam-ship  Com- 
pany. The  officers  and  managers  of  this 
oouoem  are  tho  officers  and  manasers  of 


the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  Company,  for 
all  practical  purposes.  The  steam-ship  line 
is  a  feeder  to  the^  richly-endowed  railroad 
line,  and  it  is  a  cheek  upon  any  undue  inde- 
pendence on  the  part  of  the  Pacific  Mail 
Steam-ship  Company.  Both  steam-ship 
companies,  however,  agree  in  asking  for  a 
subsidy  from  Congress. 

The  Pacific  Mail  people,  in  common  par- 
lance, "  fly  the  flag  "  in  their  appeal  to  Con- 
gress. They  urge  now,  as  they  did  in 
1864,  that  the  United  States  ought  to  main- 
tain at  least  one  line  of  steamers  to  distant 
foreign  ports.  The  memorialists  declare 
that  "  our  flag  is  proudly  borne  on  the  Pa- 
cific by  but  one  company,"  and  in  behalf  of 
that  company  they  implore  the  trifle  of  half 
a  million  dollars  a  year.  It  is  by  no  means 
clear  that  it  is  worth  nyhTS^-to  spend  so 
much  money  for  a  sentiment ;  and,  after  all, 
it  is  chiefly  a  sentimental  consideration 
which  is  urged  upon  Congress.  "  The  flag  " 
must  be  upborne  on  the  Pacific,  and  we 
must  pay  roundly  in  order  that  it  shaU  be. 
Letters  are  at  this  time  carried  between  San 
Francisco  and  the  Asiatic  ports  by  ships  with 
out  subsidies.  The  sea  postage  paid  amounts 
to  about  one  dollar  a  potmd.  These  ships 
carry  ordinary  freight  profitably  at  one  cent 
a  pound  when  bound  out,  and  at  two  cents 
on  the  home  voyage.  And  there  is  nothing 
in  the  present  or  prospective  trade  between 
the  Pacific  coast  and  Asiatic  ports  which 
can  justify' an  annual  expenditure  of  $500,- 
000  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  com- 
mercial mail  facilities.  It  has  been  shown 
that,  under  the  subsidy  system,  each  letter 
carried  by  the  Pacific  Mail  Company  cost 
the  Government  $4.  During  the  preva- 
lence of  that  system  the  mail  service  on 
the  Pacific  was  nearly  three  times  aS-  costly 
as  the  whole  of  the  enormous  transatlantic 
mail  service. 

It  is  hardly  worth  while,  perhaps,  to  refe> 
to  the  scandal  created  by  the  exposm-e  of. 
the  corrupt  selieme  to  obtain  from  Congress 
the  last  subsidy  given  to  the  Pacific  Mail 
Company.  To  this  day  it  is  uncertain  how 
much  of  the  public  donation  went  to  the 
maintenance  of  "  the  flag"  on  the  Pacific 
Ocean  and  how  much  was  divided  among 
harpies.  But  it  is  urged  that  this  scandalous 
job  should  nofbe  charged  against  the  present 
managers  of  the  steam-ship  company,  who 
are  honest,  prudent,  and  honorable  men. 
So  were  the  managers  of  the  Pacific  Mail 
Steam-ship  Company  in  1865.  When  the 
original  subsidy  passed  Congress  no  friend 
of  the  bill.  Bo  officer  of  the  company,  ever 
dreamed  of  the  possibilitv  of  the  scandal 
which  afterward  made  every  honest  Ameri- 
can ashamed  of  his  day  and  generation. 
^Vhat  security  can  the  friends  of-"  the  &a.g'' 
give  that  a  geue^'asl.v-subsidized  American 
company  shall  al&ays  be  managed  with  tlie 
honesty  and  prudence  now  claimed  for  the 
Pacific  Mail  ? 

-•Vs  for  the  Occidental  and  Oriental  Com- 
pany's impudent  demand,  a  few  words  will 
suffice.  It  isjhe  demand  of  five  or  six  of 
tlie  richest  proprietors  in  the  L'nited. States. 
The  country  has  never  seen  an  enterprise  so 
magnificently  endowed  as  the  Central 
Pacific  Railroad  Company.  The  members 
of  this  close  corporation,  by  an  unparal- 
leled scheme  of  subsidy,  have  been  con- 
verted into  money-princes.  Yet,  '  while 
they  are  coutinually  endfeavoring  to  throw 
on  the  public  Treasur.v  every  charge 
which  they  .can  possibly  shirk,  they  ask  lor 
subsidies  for  a  steam-ship  line,  which 
is  a  feeder  of  the  road  built  by  the  public 
funds.  These  men  have  a  community  of 
interest  with  the  Pacific  Mail  people,  and 
the  two  applications  for  subsidies  receive  a 
joint  support.  On  the  one  hand  we  are 
asktd  to  give  the  people's  money  to  "  fl.vj 
the  flag"  on  the  Pacific;'  and,  on  the 
other  hand,  an  equally  loud  appeal  is 
made  iu  behalf  of  a  twin  line 
which  carries  the  flag  of  our  dreaded 
competitor — Great  Britain.  One  company 
urges  sentimoiital  considerations ;  another 
threatens  to  refuse  the  mails.  The  railway 
magnates,  under  a  foreign  flag,  want  their 
richly-subsidized  trans-continental  line  ex- 
tended to  Asia.  The  American  company, 
(under  whatever  management, )  after  squan- 
dering its  endowment  in  riotous  li^^ing, 
promises  better  morals  in  a  lively  hope  of 
favors  to  come.  It  does  not  neem  necessary 
to  waste  argument  on  either  of  these  propo- 
sitions. 


formation  is  that  of  a  closed  hand  with  one 
forefinger  extended,  the  latter  being  repre- 
sented by  the  troops  holding  Gabrova  and 
the  Schipka  Pass.  The  sudden  assumption 
of  the  offensive  by  the  Turks,  and  their  per- 
sistent attacks  in  defiance  of  the  severe- 
losses  inflicted  upon  them,  show  that  they 
foresee  grave  peril  from  the  powerful  con- 
centration -which  hsis  at  last  welded  to- 
gether the  injudiciously  scattered  Russian 
forces ;  but  as  yet  their  efforts  to  turn  the 
Russian  right,  and  to  force  back  the  van- 
guard, have  proved  wholly  unsuccessful. 
Nevertheless,  the  danger  is  not  over  yet. 
OsMAN  Pasha  may  attempt  a  second 
advance  from  Selvi.  Suleiman  may 
move  eastward,  and  reach  Mehejcet 
Ali  byway  of  Kasan  and  Tchatak.  The 
powerful  garrisons  of  Rustchuk  and  Schumla 
may  join  the  latter  in  a  combined  attack 
upon  the  Russian  left.  Finally,  Hobart 
Pasha,  who  has  not  been  heard  of  for  some 
time,  may  turn  his  fleet  to  aecoimt  by  bom- 
barding Kustendje  or  landing  troops  in  the 
rear  of  the  Dobrudseha  Army.  The  diffi- 
culties of  transport,  and  the  numberless 
wounded  daily  sent  to  the  rear,  may  partly 
account  for  the  delay  of  all  decisive  action 
on  the  part  of  the  Russians ;  but  if  they 
desire  to  make  this  year's  campaign  in  any 
way  profitable  to  themselves  they  have 
no  time  t<r  lose.  Five  weeks,  at  the 
utmost — probably  even  less — ^remain  to 
them  before  the  commencement  of  the 
rainy  season,  and  their  conquest  of  Bul- 
garia is  as  yet.-,b5t  half  completed.  More- 
over, the  increasing  sickness  in  their  camp, 
and  the  growing  difficulty  of  feeding  the 
more  distant .  troops,  are  matters  which 
'  cannot  be  slighted;  and.  whatever  may  be 
the  i-esult,  it  behooves  the  Czar's  Generals 
to  make  a  speedy  and  vigorous  attempt  to 
overwhelm  either  0sm.\n  Pasha  or  Mehem- 
et  Ali  while  still  separated  from  each, 
other,  and  while  the  much-vaunted  Sulei- 
man is  in  no  condition  to  assist  either. 


THE  VyBROKEy  SEMI-CIRCLE. 
A  Turkish:  victory,  a  Turkish  defeat,  and  a 
tbawn  battle,  are  the  latest  tidings  from  the 
East.  It  seems  to  be  an  established  rule  by 
this  time  that  whichever  party  takes  the 
offensive  is  s'are  to  be  worsted-H.  The  Rus- 
sian attack  upon  Mehemet  Ali's  right  at 
Aghaslar,  a  little  to  the  south-east  of 
Osman-Bazar,  has  ended  iii  a  retreat,  with 
the  loss  of  400  killed^and  wounded,  north- 
ward to  Sultankoi.      On  the  other  hand,  the 


"   of     th 
Schipka 


Kurukdara  and  the  Schipka  Pass  amount 
only  to  two  very  sanguinary  drawn 
battles.  Kurukdara  is  just  Borodino  over 
again.  A  terrific  artillery  duel,  a  long, 
bloody,  and  indecisive  mel^e,  the  capture  of 
the  first  line  of  defense  by  the  assailants, 
and  their  signal  failure  to  penetrate  any 
farther.  The  Schipka  Pass,  -again,  so  far 
from  being  captured,  is  more  firmly  held 
than  ever.  The  coming  of  R.idetzky's  re- 
serves .has  raised  the  gallant  handful  de- 
fending it  loan  effective  strength  of  15,000 
men,  which  will  be  amply  sufficient  to  repel 
the  flanking  attacks  on  the  side  of  the 
Trawna  defile,  by  which  alone  Suleiman 
PaslS'can  hope  effect  his  object. 

Stated  briefly,  the  relative  positions  of 
the  two  armies  are  as  follows :  The  Rus- 
sian right,  cuiving  outward  in  a  large  half- 
moon  from  Sistova  to  Tirnova,  is  watching 
the  75,000  men  whom  Os.'tfAN  Pasha  has 
ranged  in  echelon  along  the  line  of  Plevna, 
Lovatz,  and  Selvi.  In  advance  of  this 
force  stands  Prince  MiRSKi,  holding  (Jabrova 
with  one  division  of  the  eighth  corps,  while 
another  guards  the  mouth  of  the  Trawna 
Pass  and  the  approach  to  Helena ;  and 
beyond  this,  again,  in  the  Schipka 
Puss-  itself,  are  several  detachments  of 
the  Second  and  the  Eleventh,  under^en. 
Radetzbtt,  with  three  or  four  companies  of 
the  Bulgarian  Legion  facing  SulSiman 
Pasha,  who  has  just  been  strengthened 
by  the  arrivaI,"ifrom  Philippopolis,  of  Rah- 
SAM  Pasha,  with  two  fresh  battalions.  The 
Russian  centre  is  massed  around  Biela  and 
along  the  line  of  the  Yantra,  while  their 
left,  spread  out  like  a  f a^  to  the  south  and 
east,  keeps  watch  on  one  side  over  the  gar- 
risons of  Rustchuk  and  Rasgrad,  and  on  the 
other  over  Mehemet  Ali  and  his  60,000, 
concentrated  to  tho  soutEVf  Osman-Bazar. 

It   will  thus  be  seen  that  the  Russian 


DUMB-WAITER  CALAMITIES. 

That  ingenious  piece  of  mechanism  de- 
vised in  the  interest  of  crockery  dealers — 
the  dumb-waiter — is  sadly  familiar  to  tens 
of  thousands  of  householders  whom  it  is 
slowly  bringing  to  bankruptcy.  Its  action 
is  supposed  to  be  modeled  upon  that  of  the 
volcano,  since  it  shoots  up  crockery  from 
the  kitchen  to  the  dining-room  as  though  by 
a  convulsion  of  nature.  This  process,  it  is 
pretended,  is  far  less  dangerous  to  crockery 
than  its  transportation  at  the  hands  of  a 
living  waiter  would  be.  To  a  certain  ex- 
tent this  is  true.  The  cat  does  not  meddle 
in  the  upheavals  of  the  dumb-waiter,  and 
hence  those  cataclysms  of  china  which  so 
often  result  from  the  ill-judged  attempts  of 
the  family  cat  to  carry  away  a  tin  waiter  full 
of  tea  cups,  or  to  steal  a  soup-tureen  in 
order  to  investigate  its  contents  in  the  back 
yard,  are  of  comparatively  rare  occurrence 
in  households  where  the  dumb-waiter  is  in 
use.  It  is  the  proneness  of  the  latter  to 
usurp  the  functions  of  the  earthquake,  as 
well  as  the  volcano,  and  to  sudden- 
ly swallow  up  whole  dinner  services, 
which  it  subsequently  easts  forth  in  the 
shape  of  fipely  eomoiinuted  fragments, 
which  reduces  the  householder  to  despair 
and  ultimate  beggary.  That  the  dumb- 
waiter should  from  time  to  time  thus  de- 
vastate the  household  is  regarded  by  every 
experienced  and  intelligent  person  as  in- 
evitable. It  is  a  solemn  thought  that  not  an 
hour  of  the  day  passes  without  bringing  to 
some  householder  the  blood-curdling  sound 
— something  between  the  rattle  of  a  volley  of 
musketry  and  the  dull  roar  of  distant  artil- 
lery— which  announces  that  the  dumb- 
waiter, is  loose  and  that  in  another  moment 
the  crash  of  crockery  mingled  with  the 
despairing  cry  of  the  housewife,  "There's 
that  dreadful  dumb-waiter  again."  will 
cause  the  cheek  of  the  bravest  householder 
to  pale  with  fear. 

Upon  investigating  a  series  of  dumb- 
waiter calamities,  extending  ovfl-  a  period  of 
at  least  tw^o  years,  the  observer  will  notice 
a  remarkable  periodicity.  He  will  find  in 
the  case  of  any  given  dumb-wuiter  that  its 
first  crash  occurred  three  months  after  its 
active  service  began;  that  seven  months 
later  a  second  and  still  more  destructive 
crash  took  place ;  followed  in  five  months 
more  by  a  third.  There  may  be  and  often 
is  a  slight  variation  of  a  few  days  in  the 
recurrence  of  these  successive  calamities,- 
but  that  they  may  be  confidently  expected 
at  intervals  of  three,  seven,  and  five  mon;hs 
every  careful  observer  will  concede.  The 
intervals  are  never  interchangeable.  The 
first  crash  of  a  dumb-waiter  is  Aever  de- 
layed to  the  seventh  month  of  its  service, 
and  the  second  crash  is  never  followed  by  a 
third  at  a  less  interval  than  five  months. 
It  is  also  noticeable  that  while  the  second 
crash — in  wliich  the  soup-tureen  is  always 
involved — ^is  uniformly  more  destructive 
than  the  first ;  the  third  is  generally,  though 
not  always,  milder  than  either  of  its  pre- 
decessors. 

Now  this  remarkable  periodicity  has  its 
meaning.  To  suppose  that  it  is  merely  ac- 
cidental would  be  in  the  highest  degree  un- 
scientific. We  might  as  well  regard  the 
recurrence  of  intermittent  fever  or  of  the 
equinoxes  as  an  accident.  Nature  does 
nothing  accidentally,  and  whether  she  shakes 
a  Staten  Islander  every  other  day,  or  pro- 
duces an  equinox  every  six  months,  or  a 
dumb-waiter  calamity  at  periods  of  three, 
seven,  and  five  months,  she  acts  in  aceonf- 
anee  with  fixed  and  immutable  laws.  The 
resemblance  between  dumb-waiter  calami- 
ties and  certain  forms  of  malarial  fever  is 
particularly  noticeable.  There  are  fevers 
which  recur  on  the  seventh  and  twentv-first 
days  after  the  first  attack.  If  the  physician 
recognizes  in  this  a  physical  law,  how  can 
we  refuse  to  concede  the  working  of  natural 
law  in  the  regular  recurrence  of  dumb- 
waiter calamities. 

The  public,  universally  ignoring  this  great 
fact  of  the  periodicity  with  which  crockery 
is  smashed,  superficially  imagines  that  a 
dumlhwaiter  calamity  is  simply  an  accident 
caustni  by  the  breaking  of  a  rope.  Un- 
doubtedly the  broken  rope  is  a  feature 
which  is  never  wanting  when  a  dumb-waiter 
calamity  occurs,  but  those  who  regard  it  as 
a  cause  instead  of  a  mere  incident,  are 
guilty  of  preferring  the  methods  of  com- 
mon-sense to  those  of  science.  Yet  it  is 
upon  this  erroneous  theory  that  the  popular 
treatment  of  the  dnmb-waiter  is  based. 
When  the  hemp  rope  which  supports  it  first 
gives  away,  another  hemp  rope  is  uniformly 
prescribed  hy  whatever  carpenter  may  be 
called  in.  This  remedy,  of  course,  is  per- 
fectly inopuatiye,  as  the  more  violent  crash 
some  months  later  demonstrates.  The  car- 
Venter  then  Ranges  his   remedy  and  pre- 


scribes a  rope  of  copper-wii«.  It  only  needs 
three  months  to  show  the  folly  of  trying  to 
bind  destructive  energies  of  the  dumb- 
waiter with  copper-wire.  After  this  the 
householder  loses  all  faith  in  curative 
measures,  and  yields  to  the  apparent  truth 
that  it  is  vain  for  man  to  hope  to  control 
the  dumb-waiter ;  but  that  it  contains  within 
itself  a  vast  elemental  force,  which  is  liable 
to  break  out  at  any  tim6  with  results  that 
can  neither  be  warded  off  nor  predicted. 

How  the  dumb-waiter  should  be  treated.and  i 
whether,  indeed,  it  is  possible  for  men  to  do 
more  than  to  accurately  predict  the  dates 
when  danger  is  to  be  apprehended  from  it,^ 
are  questions  to  which  it^is  yet  too  early  to 
attempt  an  answer.  The  study  of  the  dumb- 
waiter is  only  in  its  infancy,  and  we 
really  know  nothing  with  certainty  as  _ 
to  it  except  the  periodicity  of  its  calami- 
ties. The  vigor  with  which  in  one  of 
its  fierce  convulsions  it  shakes  crockery 
from  its  shelves,  together  with  the  periodicity 
already  noted,  may  perhaps  hint  at  the  pres- 
ence of  malarial  poison,  but  we  should  bo 
very  cautious  not  to  attach  tmdue  impor- 
tance to  what  may  be  a  mere  coincidence. 
At  present  the  only  salvation  for  a  man  who 
has  a  dumb-waiter  is  to  chop  it  into  small 
pieces,  to  burn  the  pieces,  and  to  bury  the 
ashes  at  least  a  mile  from  his  house.  If  this 
is  not  done  his  dumb-waiter  will  slowly  but 
surely  smash  all  the  crockery  which  he  can 
gather  together,  will  destroy  the  nervous 
systems  of  his  entire  family,  and  will  finally 
land  'him  in  the  mad-house,  a  bankrupt, 
broken-hearted  lunatic.

Boston,  Mass.,  Aug.  27.— Hon.  Justin  a 
Morrill,  United  States  Senator  from  Vermont, 
in  an  interviev  to-day  on  the  President's  policy 
in  general,  said  :  "  My  opinion  is  that  the  large 
majority  of  the  people  are  disposed  to  treat  the 
President's  policy  fairly,  so  that  it  may  have  a 
full  opportunity  to  be  tested,  both  by  the  people 
in  the  South  and  the  i^ople  in  the  North.  I 
baVe  the  impression  that  a  very  respectable 
minority  of  the  Republican  Party  have  long 
desired  the  adoption  of  a  conciliatory  policy 
in  the  control  of  tne  Southern  States 
in  the  place  of  the  military  force  policy, 
We  have  certainly  tried,  for  many  years,  the 
military,  and  during  the  same  time  have  lost 
control  of  the  majority  of  the  reconstructed 
States,  and  whether  the  conciliatory  policy  shall 
turn  out  to  be  any  better  or  not,  the  trial  of  it 
la  inevitable,  if  not  by  the  Bepublican  Party 
by  the  Democratic- Party." 

As  to  the  result  of  the  last  election,  Mr.  Mor- 
rill is  satisfied  that  not  a  KepubUcan  in  Vei> 
mont  lives  ^ho  does  not  believe  that  President 
Hayes,  and  also  Govs.  Packard,  of  Louisiana, 
and  Chamberlain,  of  South  Carolina,  -were  elect- 
ed by  thelawful  votes  cast.  Saidhe:  **If  absolute 
justice  and  fair  play  could  have  been  had.  I 
think  it  is  aUo  believed  we  should  have  had 
mom  votes  than  even  we  claimed.  There  is  a 
strong  doubt  felt  by  our  whole  party  as  to  whether 
the  Republicans,  as  a  party,  will  derive  any 
benefit  at  the  polls  from  the  policy  now  adopted 
by  the  Admiuistration,  but  if  peace  prevails  and 
the  Democratic  Party  will  do  its  whole 
duty  by  the  colored  people  in  regard 
to  educating  them  and  their  children, 
protecting  them  in  all  their  rights,  so 
as  to  give  -ome  evidence  that  they  wUl  in  time 
bwunit^  valuable  citizens,  the  country  at  least 
"will  derive  some  benefit  from  the  policy.  "What 
our  people  are  the  most  reluctant  to 
Burrender  are  the  Republican  Administrations 
in  Lonisiana  and  Soutn  Carolina.  They  believe 
the  Republican  Governor's  of  those  States  were 
-elected,  and  believe  so  now,  although  they  have 
some  doubt  whether  their  authority  could  have 
been  maintained  without  the  aid  of  the  strong 
arm  of  the  general  Government. 

Eegardin :;  the  President's  civil  service 
order.  Jlr.  .Vtorri^Il  thinks  that  there  never  was 
any  call  for  civil  service.reforms  in  Vermont, 
as  there  never  had  beeQ"sny  abuse  to  be  cor- 
rected. Officials  had  never  assumed  to  control 
the  distribution  of  appointmentsX  He  said.  *•  If 
for  one  minute  it  was  thought  that  any  official' 
Arrogated  to  himself  power  over  the  dis- 
tribution of  official  patronage  or  places,  it 
would  have  been  almost  fatal  jo  him.     Our  peo- 

Ele  do  not  like  to  be  dictated  to  by  office-holders, 
avius:  a  mind  of  their  own.  Almost  invariably 
it  is  the  custom  iij  this  State  to  appoint  the 
Postmaster  for  a  locality  who  is  wanted  by 
the  people  of  that  locnlity."  The  Senator 
thinks  the  allegations  may  be  true  that 
in  some  of  the  large  cities  of  the  country,  out- 
side of  Vermont,  rings  esift  that  control  the 
patronage,  in  which  cities  civil  service  reform 
m»i*t.  be  »*  ,reat  blessing ;  but  nothing  of  the  kind 
tii^ii.i-^  ..lere,  he  thinks  no  remedy  is  necessary. 
"  The  Vermont  State  Legislature,"  said  the 
Senator,  has  never  supported  a  lobby.  I  do  not 
think  thaJ^  our  State  it  trill  have  much  effect 
one  way  or  the  other,  but  if  office-holders  such 
as  I  refer  to  cannot  go  to  a  convention,  and 
cannot  be  placed  on  a  committee  of  organiza- 
tion or  resolutions,  they  and  the  pubUc  will 
think  that  it  is  depriving  them  of  some  portion 
of  their  rights  as  American  citizens."

one  would  be  higher,  and  of  the  other  lower,  than 
the  ratio  fixed  by  law  ;  and  that  one  for  the  time 
being  which  happened  by  the  market  valne  to  be 
lower  than  the  ratio  fixed  by  law  necessarily  became 
almost  the  exclusive  cnrrencx.  while  the  other  was 
hoarded  or  exported,  and  became,  in  effect, 
a  commodity  rather  than  a  circulating  medium. 
Slere  aubaidiary  or  fractional  coins,  however,  do 
not  come  fully  within  this  rule,  for,  though 
worth  considerably  less,  according  to  the  market 
value  of  silver,  than  this  standard  value,  (or  legal 
ratio,)  and  even  le9s  than  the  standard  of  the  larger 
silver  coin,  they  will,  on  account  of  their  convenience 
and  necessity  for  change  (which  constitute  an  ele- 
ment of  value)  continue  to  circulate  for  snch  pur- 
poses at  their  nominal  or  lepd  value,  at  par  with  the 
laiger  silver  coins,  or  even  with  golJf  to  the  extent 
demanded  for  small  chanee  in  the  commerce  of  the 
country,  which  would  probalilyamount  in  the  United 
States  to  »8O.0O0,00O  or  SlOO.OOO,0OO.  But 
clearly,  such  inferior  coins  could  not  justly  be  made 
a  legal  tender  for  any  large  amoont.  verv  truly

tlZWS   OP     SEXATOR     I.    P.    CHRISTIAXCJT,    OP 
34ICH3G.VX.    OX   THE   SILVER   QUESTION. 

The  following  letter  was  addressed  to  the 
Chicago  InUr-Oc^an,  in  reply  to  a  circular  sent 
out  by  that  paper  asking  the  views  of  various 
members  of  tiie  Forty-fifth  Congress  on  the 
silver  question : 

Lan-sing.  Jnly  22.  1877. 

Tv  thr  Editor  of  the  Inter' Ocean  : 

Your  printed  note  requesting  to  know  my  posi- 
tion upon  the  silver  question  has  just  been  received- 

3y  your  blank  iuelosed  for  a  reply  yOu  seem  to 
have  assumed  that  I  mast  fall  within  one  of  the  three 
chisseK  stated  in  the  blank  :  First.  "  For  remoneiiza- 
tion  ;"  stKond.  ■'  .-Vcainst  it,"  or  third,  "  Undecided." 
But.  owing  I  supiKJse  to  the  fact  that  the  blank  was 
not  got  up  with  reference  to  my  opmioas,  or  that  my 
opimons  were  not  formed  to  fit  the  blank,  I  do  not 
fall  exactly  within  either  of  the  three  classes  so  as  to 
I^\-«' .'  ■!  intelligible  notion  of  my  own  views  by  filling, 
ious  your  tll.^Tlk,  and  I  am  compeUed  to  state  my 
Vie^s  a  Httle  m  >re  fully  and  m  my  own  way. 
,  I  am,  and  ever  since  the  partial  demonetization  of 
silver  have  br;eu  in  favor  of  refrtoring  It  to  general 
cirmlation.  But  I  am  not  in  favor  of  the  simple  re- 
-  peal  of  the  law  of  l!iT3.  and  the  "  restoration  of  the 
•dollar  of  the  fatiiers '  to  its  old  place  in  the  coinage." 
Kor  do  I  believe  that  the  power  of  Congress,  or  the 
most  ab>*'jlute  and  despotic  htmaan  power,  can  give 
the  "doUar  of  the  fathers-its  old  place  in  the  coinage  " 
of  this  country,  unie^is  either  the  standard  of  gold 
shall  be  lowered,  or  that  of  silver  raised — that  is,  un- 
less the  gold  coinage  shall  contain  less  pure  gold, 
or  the  silver  dotiir  more  pure  silver.  And  my 
principal  reason  for  this  is  that  the  relative  value  of 
silver  and  gold,  a^  compared  with  each  other,  has 
greatly  chan-^ed  in  almost,  if  not  all  commercial  na- 
tions since  the  coinage  of  the  '*  dollar  of  the  fathers, " 
the  value  of  silver  as  compared  with  that  of  gold  hav- 
ing largely  depre-.-iated  in  the  markets  of  the  world 
slncQ  that  time.  And  it  is  the  market  value,  regulated 
by  the  laws  of  supply  and  demand,  which  will  govern 
the  circulation  in  spite  of  all  the  legislation 
In  the  world.  The  first  effect,  therefore,  of 
restoring  the  "  dollar  of  our  fathers  to  its  old 
place  In  the  currency, "  making  it  a  lecal  tender  for 
all  debts,  would  be  to  drive  gold  out  of  circulation  as 
money,  and  cause  it  to  be  hoarded  or  exportea :  un- 
less we  can  stipposo  that  debtors  generally  will  be 
willing  to  pay  more  to  eitin^fuish  their  delJts,  when 
they  <aux  just  as  readily  extinguish  them  by  paying 
less.  Another  effect  would  be  to  enable  every 
debtor  whose  debt  was  not  specially  contracted  with 
reference  to  pa>-ment  in  silver  at  its  old  valu- 
ation to  repudiate  a  cousiderabJe  iK)rtion  of  his 
debts,  and  to  rob  his  creditors  to  a  like  extent. 
While,  therefore,  1  am  in  favor  of  tT>nVitig  silver 
alegal  tender  to  any  amount; .  and  bringing  it  Into 
^neral  circulation — without  which  I  fear  we  shall  not 
»  able  to  reach  specie  payments  at  as  early  a  day  as 
pre  ought — I  am  opposed  to  making  the  present  sub- 
lidiary  coin  or  the  old  silver  dollar  a  legal  tender  to 
my  amount  above  $5  at  the  present  standard  of  the 
jubsiilinry  coin  or  the  old  standu^l  of  the  dollar. 
iccortUng  ro  ^v^hlch  it  is  really  worth  mnch  less  than 
\h&  greenbacks,  which  are  still  far  below 
iT>ar  as  compared  with  gold.  But  I  would 
»vereome  the  difSculty  in  one  of  two  ways. 
First,  (as  to  all  at  least  except  the  subsidiary  coin, 
|tf  not  including  that.*  by  adopting  the  mariie't  value 
ipf  silver  as  compared  with  gold,  and  by  maicing  the 
filver  coin  in  dollars,  or  any  larger  pieces,  a  Tegal 
■tender  for  all  amounts  at  such  market  value,  and  by 
providing  a  board  for  the  determination  and  publica- 
Itlon  of  this  value  at  short  intervals — substantially 
Kceording  to  the  plan  which  I  suggested  in  the  Sen- 
ate, June  29.  IssTtj,  (Congressional  Record,  First 
BeMion.  Forty-fourth  Congress,  VoL  4,  Part  5,  pp. 
ll2Bto428.) 

I  still  think  this  sliding  scale,  thus  flexibly  ad- 

iosted,  would  meet  the  difBculties  of  the  problem 
•ith  more  exact  justice  and  leas  friction,  and  at  the 
aime'time  better  x»reveEt  disturbances  in  the  money 
p^arket  by  speculators,  than  any  other  plan  which 
B-3S  occurred  to  me,  or  which  I  have  s^en  suggested 
Slsewhere.  The  idea  suggested  by  some  of  overcom- 
Ie».  or.  rather,  preventing,  these  'liuctuations  in  the 
relative  values  of  gold  and  silver  by  treaties  or  con- 
Fentious  with  all  the  other  commercial  na- 
tions, fixijig  permanently  such  relative  valnes. 
•eems  to  me  much  more  visionary ;  as  no  such 
tommon  agreement  upon  a  common  relative  value 
Kmld.  in  my  opinion,  be  brought  about  during  the 
Ifetime  of  any  man  now  living;  and,  if  it  could,  it 
vould  still  be  a  very  imperfect  romedy,  as  the  mar- 
tet  value,  fixed  by  the  law  of  supply  and  demand, 
would  still  continue  Tnainiy^to  govern  in  spite  of  all 
mch  conventions  ;  for  gold  and  silver  are  valuable 
ind  in  demand,  not  only  as  money,  but  for 
Ktensils  and.  ornaments,  and  in  the  arts 
>f  civQized  life.  Tho  fixing  of  such 
relative  valne,  therefore  by  such  conven- 
tions, would  neither  prevent  fluctuations  in  the  rela- 
tive market  (or  real)  value,  nor  disturbances  and 
tpecolations  in  the  money  macrket,  nor  the  hoarding 
n  exportation  of  the  one  which  for  the  time  should 
t»  worth  in  the  markets  of  the  world  more  than  the 
relative  value  thus  fixed  by  convention,  leaving  the 
me  of  less  value  to  form  the  currency  in  actual  use. 
I  am,  howevtfr.  by  no  means  so  wedde'd  to  the  plan  I 
ftave  above  suggested  as  to  make  me  unwilling  to 
tcrept  any  plaii  which  will  approximate  a  just  re- 
mit ;  and.  If  this  plan  cannot  be  adopted,  then : 

Secondly,  as  the  next  best  pian,  I  would  bring 
Dp  the  standard  of  the  silver  dollar,  and  any  coin 
0f  two  £>r  more  dollars,  to  near  the  comparative 
ralne  of  silver  to  gold  in  the  market,  as  it  now 
jBxiats  in  the  great  centres  of  trade,  say  New- 
fork.  London,  and  Paris ;  that  is  to  say,  put 
enough  more  silver  Into  the  dollar  to  bring  it 
rery  n  sarlv  up  to  this  comparative  market  value. 
[  aay  nearly  to  this  valae,  because  bringing  the 
lUver  into  general  circtLlation  asj  money,  and 
toaking  it  a  lethal  tender  to  any  amount  in  the 
C7nited  States,  would  tends  lightly  to  raise  the  rela- 
tive value  of  silver,  (though  but  slightly,  as  the  m- 
lux  from  other  coixntries,  as  well  aa  our  own  nxinea, 
rould  soon  supply  enough  to  equalize  the  two.) 
This  raising  of  the  standard  of  silver  as  to  dollars  or 
my  larger  coins,  wotild  not.  as  in  changing  the 
rtandard  of  the  subsidiary  *£oin,  lead  to  the  necessity 
rf  calling  In  the  old  coina^  since,  practically  ipeak- 
aig,  w©  have  not  now  in  cir<ralation,  or  authorized  to 
»  coined,  any  silver  dollar  or  larger  ailver  coinaae, 
Ihe  "trade  dollar,"  so  tailed,  being  issued  only 
Cor  a  special  purpose  and  to  a  limited  extent.

AMUSEMENTS. 


SENATOR  MORTON'S  CONDITION. 

KiCHMOND,  Ind.^  Aug.  27. — Dr.  Blis-s  is 
greatly  encouraged  with  Senator  Morton's  con- 
dition during  the  afternoon.  At  noon  to- 
day Dr.  Bliss,  Col.  Holloway,  and  Gov.  Burbank 
join  in  pronouncing  the  Senator's  condition 
as  much  improved  as  they  could  reasonably  ex- 
pect. A  return  of  his  recent  alarming  condi- 
tion is  not  anticipated.  They  remain  unchanged 
in  the  belief  that  he  is  hourly  growing  stronger, 
and  that  the  worst  is  passed. 

Later. — The  official  bulletin  received  from 
Gov.  Burbank  at  midnight,  reported  Sena- 
tor Morton  sleeping.  Dr.  Bliss  has  noth- 
ing to  communicate  except  a  repetition 
of  his  former  assurances  that  the 
Senator  is  progressly  very  favorably 
toward  convalescence.  No  new  tmfavorablo 
symptoms  have  been  apparent  or  apprehended 
amce  midnight  last  night.  The  Senator's  con- 
dition is  more  generally  favorable  than  at  «ny 
period  since  his  arrival  in  Richmond.

WALLACK'S  THEATRK 
The  burlesque  called  '*  Oxygen**  and  repre- 
sented for  the  first  time  at  Wallack*B  Theatre,  last 
evening,  has  the  merit  of  novelty  in  addition  to  the 
attraciiveness  lent  to  pieces  of  this  order 
by  masic,  bright  stage  attire,  and  an  ex- 
cess, if  anything,  ot,  vivacity  on  the  part  of 
the  performan.  It  is  based  upon  the  spectacular 
opera bonffe  entitled  "Doctor  Ox,"  which  work,  in 
turn,  is  founded  upon  Jules  Teme's  boolc  bearing  the 
same  name.  But  the  novelist's  idea  only  Is  borrowed. 
This  brings  before  the  reader  an  imaginary  town 
in  Flanders,  known  as  Keekendone.  Keekendone  ia . 
a  dreadfnlly  slumbrous  place  until  Dr.  Or,  a  scien- 
tific man  of  rare  attainments,  appears  on  the  scene. 
Dr.  Ox  ia  the  discoverer  or  the  propagator  of  the 
use  of  oxygen  gas,  and  as  soon  as  he  has  constructed 
a  vast  metre  and  freighted  the  atmosphere  -  of 
Keekendone  with  the  new  element,  the  whole 
asjwct  of  local  affairs  changes,  and  hilarity  reigns 
srapreme.  Until  the  gas-works  explode  the  jollity  of 
the  characters  and  incidents  is  continuous.  The  ftm 
ia,  of  course,  nonsensical,  but  the  fanciful  influence 
under  which  it  is  conducted,  the  picturesque 
views  supplied  by  the  {mlnter's  brash,  and  the 
gaudy  and  eccentric  dresses  endow  the  revels  of  the 
occasion  with  an  interest  the  old  bnrlettas  no  longer 
possess.  It  would  be  useless  to  enter  into  further 
details  about  a  niece  in  which  coherence  Is  the  very 
last  thing  aimed  at,  but  mention  must  be 
made  of  the  fact  that  '*  Oxygen"  was  received 
yesterday  with  much  laughter  and  applause  by  a  ^erf 
numerous  audience.  It  is  to  be  regretted,  perhaps, 
that  Offenbach's  score — which  would  be  quite  fresh 
to  American  listeners— has  not  been  drawn  upon 
more  freely,  for  good  and  lively  as  are  most  of  the 
songs  and  concerted  numbers  in  the  bur- 
lesque, new  music  a^well  as  a  new  story 
would  have  been  still  more  welcoma. 
Mr.  Connelly's  selections,  however,  are  judicious, 
and  nothing  is  dull  and  unmolodious  in  the  depart- 
ment of  the  representation  for  which  he  Is  responsi- 
ble. Miss  Thompson,  of  course,  fills  the  leading  r61e 
in  "Oxygen,"  Mr.  Willie  Edouin  ia  conspicuous  in 
the  cast,  and  the  remainder  of  the  company  are  well 
cared  dor,  one  and  all,  in  an  entertainment 
which  is  certainly  not  calculated  to  suggest  profound 
thought  or  interest  the  logical  mind,  but  which  is 
quite  weighty  enough  for  the  season.  The  scenery 
and  costumes,  we  must  not  omitto  say,  are  brilliant, 
and  had  their  first  exhibition  yesterday. 


EAGLE  THEATRE. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  J.  Florence  began  the  fulfill- 
ment of  an  engagement  at  the  Eagle  Theatre,  yester- 
day evening.  The  audience  was  not  large, 
but  it  showed  a  lively  interest  in  the 
performance,  and  marked  its  progress-  by  frequent 
outbursts  of  merriment.  •Mr.  and  Mrs.  Florence 
were  seen  in  "The  Mighty  Dollar."  Thij^pellaporni 
piece  has  had  many  performances  in'  this  City, 
and  the  indications  are  that  the  public  are  on 
the  point  of  discovering  that  Its  existence  has 
been  sufficiently  prolonged.  In  view  of  the  fact 
that  Flautus  and  Terence  are  still  read,  that 
MoU^re  and  Goldonl  are  stiU  acted,  and  that 
Sheridan  and  Goldsmith  still  hiive  an  occasional 
hearing,  this  opinion  may  be  considered  as  rather 
hazardous,  but  it  is  offered  with  suitable  def- 
erence, and  stands  a  possible  chance  of 
contradiction  by  the  delighted  patrons  of 
the  drama  at  Hohokus.  Baton  Hoage,  and: 
Kalamazoo.  Meanwhile,  the  familiarity  of  the  Me^o-^ 
politan  theatre-goer  with  the  "  Mighty  Dollar."  spares 
us  the  trouble  of  rehearsing  its  story.  It  has  been  a 
very  successful  play,  and  it  is.  aa  it  always  was.  a 
ver>-  bad  one.  Much  stress  has  been  laid  upon  the 
favor  it  has  foxmd  with  amusement-seekers,  and  its 
popularity  has  been  cited  as  a  proof  that  the  critical 
condemnation  it  has  had  did  not  rest  upon  substantial 
grounds.  If  it  were  worth  while  arguing 
the  question  at  this  late  day,  .  it  might 
be  urged  in  behalf  of  the  critics  that  numerous  ex- 
hibitions and  numerous  nlaces  of  resort  fiourish  in 
spite  of  censure,  or,  perhaps,  because  of  It,  and  it 
might  also  be  remarked  that  a  work  of  art  at  all 
deserving  the  name  is  seldom  set  aside  after 
being  kept  in  the  public  eye  for  a  year  or 
two.  Ifr-would  have  been  a  waste  of  time  and  space, 
however,  to  discuss  the  subject  when  it  was  first 
mooted,  and.  from  present  appearances,  it  is  so 
close  upon  the  vanishing  line  that  we  shall  certainly 
not  dwell  npon  it  in  this  notice.  Those  readers 
who  have  not  witnes-sed"  The  Mighty  Dollar,  "or  have 
not  glanced  at  previous  critiques,  may  he  pleaaed  to 
learn  that  it  is  a  rather  sketchy  satire  npon  manners 
and  morals  in  Washington  ;  that  it  Introduceif  many 
personages  of  strange,  wondroxis,  and  wholly  un* 
natural  characteristics,  and  that  its  fun.  as  a  rule,  is 
violent  and  coarse.  Only  one  of  the  dramatis  persome 
is  really  entitled  to  a  hearing — Hon.  Bardwell  Slote,  a 
lobbyist  of  a  type  which,  tn  a  slightly  less  exn;;gerated 
form,  probably  lived  and  moved  and  had  his  being  a 
quarter  of  a  century  ago.  Mr.  Florence  portrays 
Slote  with  much  skill  In  what  is  technically  called 
"make  up."  with  an  abundance  of  appropriate  man- 
nerisms and,  also,  with  a  xymmetry  of  cuuception  aud 
execution  which  give  the  effort  claim  to  the  title  of  a 
erAation.  in  the  fullest  sense  of  that  muc);-abn.sed 
word.  "W'e  cannot  admire  Mrs.  Florence's  Mrn,  Gen. 
Giljlory.  who  was  always  a  vuljjar  creature,  who  bu- 
comea  exceedingly  tiresome  after  the  first  act.  and 
who  is  more  objectionable  than  ever  at  prt-5»iit  from 
a  fashion  of  haranguing  the  audience,  in  a  style  snc- 
gestlve  of  the  set  speeches  delivered  by  minstrel 
performers  in  fem.aie  attire.  The  other  rules 
in  "The  Mighty  Dollar"  are  divided  between 
a  pretty  well-balanced  company,  of  wluch  ^lessrs. 
Lamb.  Carroll,  Perguion,  Morris,  and  Padgett,  and 
Misses  Cameron.  Melville,  and  Baker  are  the  lead- 
ing members  ;  the  play  is  neatly  placed  upon  the 
stage. 

SAX  FRANCISCO  MIXSTRELS. 
The  San  Franci.sco  Mimstrels  "gave  their  first 
entertainment  this  season  at  their  ^roadn-ay  Opera- 
house,  yesterday  eveninu.  They  are  aa  strong  in 
point  of  talent  and  numbers  as  ever,  and  their  reap- 
pearance, lu  a  boudoir  titted  up  with  a  uiaguift- 
enoe  no  genuine  son  of  Ham  could  ever  have 
aspired  to,  was  greeted  by  the  hearty  plaudits  of  a 
large  assemblage.  Their  i>erfonnanr>e.  as  heretofore, 
was  divided  into  two  parts,  vocal  muwicwith  the  usual 
exchange  of  witticisms  between  the  songs,  constitut- 
ing the  first,  and  miscellaneous  scenes,  soliloquies, 
and  dances  making  up  the  second.  The 
chief  attraction  of  the  musical  ~  part  of 
the  performance  is.  to  this  day,  the 
singing  of  Mr.  Wnmbold,  whom  it  Is  always  a  pleas- 
ure to  listtin  to.  His  tenor  voice,  once  of  great 
beauty,  has  lost  some  of  its  power  and  freshness,  but 
its  sweetness  and  sympathetic  quality  of  touo 
dtiU  linger,  and  the  singer  n^es  It  with 
expression  and  skill.  Mr.  Wamhold  sang,  last 
night,  "Little  Daisy,"  and- the  piece,  of  course, 
had  to  be  repeated.  Mr.  W.  H.  Frillman,  who  is 
posses^d  of  a  good  bass,  was  much  applauded  after 
"Rocked  in  the  Cradle  of  the  Deep"— a  com- 
position, by  the  way,  a  little  the  worse 
for  wear — and  the  spectators  even  rede- 
manded  "'Till  the  .Clouds  Go  By,"  in  spite 
of  the  rather  nasal  tone  in  which  Mr.  W.  Raymond 
delivered  it.  The  comic  vocalists  were,  as  In  the 
past,  Messrs.  Birch  and  Backus,  and  the  personalities 
exchanged  between  these  worthies,  who  also  ofiiciated 
as  "end -men,"  delighted  an  audience  which,  as  Is 
habitually  the  case,  appeared  thoroughly  au/ait  of 
the  speakers'  transactions  and  habits  In  private  life. 
The  last  part  of  the  programme  included  dances  by 
Messrs.  Johnson  and  Powers,  a  "Scientific  Dia- 
cotirse,"  by  Mr.  Bob  Hart,  a  travesty  scene,  by  "the 
Great  Ricardo, "  "  The  Happy  Family, ' '  In 
which  Messrs.  Birch  and  Backus  we^e  the 
chief  promoters  of  merriment,  on  the  stage 
as  well  as  off,  and  a  laudable  sketca,  entitled 
"  Our  Babies."  Minstrelsy,  sli^t  progress  though  it 
has  made  iu  half  a  century,  still  has  a  hold,  like  the 
circus  and  pantomime,  upon  the  affections  of  a  large 
portion  of  the  public,  and  to  its  admirers  the  tidings 
that  the  San  Francisco  Minstrels  have  begun  opera- 
tions for  the  Fall  and  Winter,  will,  jio  doubt,  be  a 
Subject  of  real  gratification.

ATED  BY   THE   ItAN'S   CONVERSATION. 
BpedaX  iXipoCeA  to  the  Ifew-Tork  Tlmee, 

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  27.— When  the 
steamer  Mary  A.  Miller  left  St.  Louis  a  few 
days  ago  for  this  city  a  man  giving  Hie  name 
of  William  Martin,  of  Warren,  Warren  County, 
Mo.,  took  passage  for  Cincinnati,  having 
with  him  a  tnmk,  a  fine  shot-gun,  and 
a  large  lot  of  cartridges.  On  the 
way  he  talked  wildly  of  some  woman  with 
whom  he  had  trouble,  and  attracted  gener- 
al attention  by  his  strange  manner.  At 
Boston,  a  short  distance  below  Louisville,  while 
ip  a  fog,  the  boat  laid  up  for  a  time.  Mar- 
tin excitedly  left  it  and  hurried  up 
the  bank,  leaving  all  of  his  -baggage 
behind,  and  did  not  return.  When 
the  boat  reached  Cincinnati  this  afternoon 
the  matter  was  laid  before  tho  detectives,  who 
opened  the  trunk,  and  among  other  contents 
found  letters  addressed  to  "J.  Bryant,  Brook- 
IjTQ,  N.  Y.,"  some  of  which  appeared  to  be  from 
his  sister,  '*M.  Wilson,  No.  211  Schenectady- 
avenue,  BrookljTi."  The  trunk  also  contained 
a  shirt,  the  sleeves  of  which  were  covered  with 
blood.  The  impression  created  by  his  conversa- 
tion was  that  he  bad  killed  the  woman  and  had 
afterward  become  partially  insane.

PACIFIC  MAIL  SUBSIDY. 
To  t?ie  Editor  of  the  2fete-  Yttrk  TimeM  : 

The  article  which  you  published  in  to-day's 
isfiue,  signed  "Economist,"  lays  hold  on  a  subjet't 
which  deserves  great  consideration  and  careful 
thought.  Doubtless  there  may  be  reasons  for  not 
acting  too  promptly  in  a  matter  of  such  graud  im- 
portance, either  in  granting  or  not  granting  a  subsidy 
to  the  Pacific  Mail  Sto&m-ship  Company,  but,  aa 
an  American  morchant.  it  certainly  seems  to  me  that 
in  Kome  manner  Con::Tess  might  endeavor  to  assiat, 
encourage,  and  prumote  an  American  steam-ship  line. 

We  have  in  this  country  betu  passing  through 
fearfully  dull  and  dark  period,  and  while  EngUi 
capitalists  are  eagerly  watching  for  chances  and  op- 
portunities to  invest  in  n»'W  enterprises,  and  laying 
their  plana  for  establishing  new  steam-ship  lines  in 
different  parts  of  the  world,  can  we  not  in  some 
manner  contrive  to  sustain  and  encourcge  a  company 
purely  American  1 

In  all  times  past  foreign  powers  have,  wisely  and 
with  a  shrewd  and  watchful  eye  to  Die  future  welfare 
of  their  respective  countries,  carefully  nursed  and 
aided  any  and  all  enterprises  which  %voald  tend  to 
strengthen  and  encourage  it-s  people  in  large  public 
and  national  enterprises,  all  of  which  have  a  healthy 
influence  on  the  country  at  large,  while  we  in  this 
ronntry  seem  rather  averse  to  promoting  anything  of 
the  kind. 

I  will  not  attempt  to  deny  that  in  former  times 
the  Pacific  Mail  Steam-ship  Company  may  have 
ill-used  the  advantages  it  obtained  frum  the  Govern- 
ment, but  that  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  present 
question.  The  company  has  now  passed  into  hands 
of  competent  and  efficient  men.  men  who  h.ive  no 
superiors  in  their  line  of  business  ;  it  ia  economically 
and  skilifuHy  managed,  and  If  ever  there  was  a 
bright  futurv  for  a  steam-ship   line,    this   coraptmy 

{Hissesses  it,  if  pmperlv  manugt^i.  as  it  now-  is  and 
las  been  recently.  Laving  the  great  advantage 
of     being     already      iu      thorough 

d 
iiig  ngencien.  &-■..  have  been,  1  underntnnd  from  that 
tiuiirter.  reitured  to  a  mere  numinal  suit:,  and  all  ii« 
Jinances  are  carefully  managed;  and  all  Knst  India 
merchants  will  cheerfully  give  theui  credit  for  hand- 
ling and  delivering  aTl  merchandise  intrusted  to  their 
charge  with  great  care  and  promntness,  aud  rarely  in 
a  damaged  Mate. 

We  Americans  sliouM  club  together  tn  aid  and 
support  each  other's  enterjirives  m<yre  than  we  do,  » 
trait  of  character  which  foreigners  ^lossess  more 
than  we;  and  while  I  would  never  desire  that  Con- 
gress should  wo-ste  one  single  dollar  on  any  enter- 
Ijrise  whi**h  might  abuse  the  privilegeH  dc'rivetl.  I 
must  confess  tllpt  I  eaiTifstlv  hope  with  thnusHnds 
of  other  American  merchants,  that  Congress  will  in 
some  sub'itBntial  manner  cive  encouragement,  aid, 
and  support  to  this  ereat  Ameiicuu  stenm-ship  line.

Ord,  commanding  the  Department  of  Texas,

in  the  report  that  the  commander  of 
the  Texas  troops  had  been  instructed  to 
pursue  Mexican  marauders  into  Mexico  and  ar- 
rest them  wherever  they  may  be  found.  He 
also  denies  the  story  that  a  force  of  25,000  men 
is  being  organized  in  Texas  to  Invade  Mexico, 
and  says  the  instructions  to  Capt.  Hall,  com- 
mandine  the  Texan  troops,  are  that  he  shall 
confine  his  operations  to  the  Texas  side,  and 
when  criminals  succeed  in  escaping  to  the  Mexi- 
can side  the  facts  sfaaU  be  reported,  that  they 
may  be  extradited.  Capt  Hall  h  also  instructed 
not  to  act,  except  in  harmony  with  the  United 
States  troops,  and  after  consultation  with  the 
United  States  officers.

FATAL  KEHULT  OF  UALriiACTICE. 
Dast  Saturday  evening  two  young  men,  well 
dressed  and  respectable  looking,  <one  of  whom  called 
himself  Mr.  Murmougb,)  took  a  young  woman  to 
Bellevue  Hospital,  and  secured  admittance  for  her 
by  a  certificate  from  Mr.  Kellogg,  to  t!ie  effect  that 
she  had  cholera  morbus.  She  gave  her  name  as 
Cora  Young,  of  No.  116  Prince-street,  and  said  she 
was  a  Russian.  She  19  years  of  a<^,  and  tmod'look- 
n  a.      On    Sunday    evening    she     died    at    the    hos- 

Sltal.  and  it  was  ascertained  that  the  cause  of  her 
eath  was  the  recent  performance  of  an  abortion 
upon  her.  Inquiries  bt  No.  IIU  Prince-street  have 
f^ed  to  elicit  any  information  concerning  the  men 
who  took  deceas^  to  the  hospital.  Coroner  Flaaa-

bringing  the  guilty  parties  to  justice. 

A  BLOODY  STREET  AFFRA  Y. 
Last  evening  at  8:30  Albert  Ott,  of  Ko.  0 
Firstr^venue,  was  assisting  a  family  in  moving  into 
Ko.  190  Elizabeth-street,  and  was  very  mnch  an- 
noyed by  a  crowd  of  young  loafers  who  hang  around 
that  neighborhood.  He  bore  their  tatmts  and 
Insutts^  as'  long  as  he  could  and  then  attacked 
them.  During  the  fracas  that  *  followed  Ott 
drew  a  pocket-knife  and  assaulted  the 
supposed  ring-leader.  While  pursuing  him 
John  IMllon,  of  No.  503  East  Thirteenth-street, 
stepped  between  him  and  his  intended  victim  to 
make  peace,  and  then  Ott's  wrath  fell  upon  him. 
Attacking  Dillon  the  Infuriated  Ott  cut  him  first 
npon  the  chin  and  then  upon  the  neck,  cutting  his 
throat  deeply,  and  partly  severing  the  carotid  artery. 
Dillon  fell  and  was  taken  in  an  ambulance  to  the 
Fourteenth  Precinct  Station-house,  and  there  at- 
tended by  Surgeon  Clift.  and  afterward  removed  to 
Chambers-street  Hospital,  where  he  now  lies  in  a 
dangerous  condition.  Ott  was  arretted  and  locked  up.

COURTESIES  BETWEEN  THE  SOUTH  PACIFIC 
SQUADRON  AND  THE  PERUVIAN  AUTHOR- 
ITIES. 

Washington,  Aug.  ST.-rRear-Aamiral 
Preble,  commanding  the  South  Pacific  Station, 
in  a  letter  to  the  Navy  Department  dated  fiag- 
ahip  Omaha,  Callao,  Peru,  Aug.  1,  refers  to  the 
courtesy  shown  to  himself  and  oflficfers  by  the 
Peruvian  civil,  military,  and  naval  authori- 
ties, and  announces  that  on  the  3d  of  July 
he  called  upon  Gen.  Prado,  ttie  Presi- 
dent of  the  Republic,  accompanied  by  his 
staff.  They  were  introduced  by  our  Minister  at 
Callao.  On  the  Fourth  of  July  the  Peruvian 
ships  were  dressed  and  the  batteries  on  shore 
fired  salutes  in  honor  of  our  National  Anniver- 
sary. All  the  steun-ships  of  the  English  Paci- 
fic Steam  Navigation  Company  in  port  also 
hoisted  the  American  Flag.  The  United  States 
Consul  and  Minister  were  serenaded  in  Callao

THE  FAMINE  IN  BRITISH  INDIA. 

UNFAVORABLE  ACCOUNTS  "STILL  RECEIVED — 
$40,000,000  ALREADY  EXPENDED  FOR 
RELIEF— RAIN    REPORTS    FROM  BOMBAY. 

London,  Aug.  27.— Accounts  from  the 
Indian  famine  districts  are  stiU  very 
bad.  There  has  been  rain  during  the 
last  week  in  Madras,  though  In 
most  districts  only  a  slight  fall.  In  Bombay 
there  has  been  no  BuiSciency  of- rain  anywhere 
except  in  the  Canara  district.  There  has  been  no 
rain  in  Berar  or  Central  India.  Reports  relative 
to  Bengal,  Assam,  Dude,  and  the  north-west 
prOTinccs  are  fairly  good,  but  those  relating 


•to  tiM  Punjab  are  bad.  The  Madras  famine 
most  last  till  January,  and  a  failure  of  the  Oe- 
to]t>er  nUns  may  prolong  it  ti^  next  August.  In 
view  of  this,  and  of  the  probable  scarcitr  In 
Gujarat,  the  North-west  provinces,  and  Itaj- 
pootana,  the  Government  is  determined  to  ex- ' 
ercise  the  utmost  care  in  its  exx>enditure.  The 
Madras  famine  alone  has  already  cost  £8,000- 
000,  and  is  costing  £500,000  per  month.  The 
next  budget  will  certainly  show  a  deficit  and 
probably  necessitate  a  large  amount  of  fresh 
taxation. 

Bombay,  Aug.  27.— Rain  has  fallen  in  Kahn- 
deish,  the  Deccan,  Gujerat.  aud  Kattj-war.  The 
general  prospects  hie  considered  better.

tions on  Monday.

THE  CHARGES  AGAIXST  AUSTIN  LEAKE. 
The  investigation  of  the  charges  against  Mr. 
Austin  Leske,  President  of  the  Fifth  Assembly  Dis- 
trict Repttblitran  Association,  was  resumed  last  even- 
ing by  the  rommittee  of  the  association  appointed 
for  that  porpose.  Only  one  witness  was  examined, 
Mr.  William  Irving,  who  gave  e\-idence  in  relntion 
to  the  impropriety,  in  a  political  sense,  of  the  ap- 
pointments Mr.  Leake  had  made,  and  also  to  the  un- 
authorized removal  of  the  furniture  of  the  head- 
quarters room  of  the  association  to  Mr.  Leake's 
place  at  Rockaway.  The  evidence  presented  no  new 
feature,  and  was  simply  corroborative  of  that  given 
by  other  witnesses  at  the  previous  meeting.  It  came 
out.  however,  that  Mr.  Leake  had  told  the  witness 
that  when  Hayes  rame  into  power,  he  [Leake]  should 
have  Absolute  coutrnl  of  all  the  patronage  of  the  dis- 
trict— an  expectation  which  wa.s  not  realized.  When 
Mr.  Irving  left  the  witness  stnnd  the  investicntion 
was  broiiRht  to  a  somewhat  abrupt  termination. 
There  were  several  rather  seriouu  chHrKe*.  of  misap- 
propriation of  the  funds  of  the  association  by  Mr. 
Leake  still  untouched  ;  but  Mr.  Brady,  who  acted  as 
prosecutor,  made  a  little  speech,  in' the  course  of 
which  he  declared  tbat  the  only  object  for  which  the 
charges  had  been  brought,  was  to  show  how  badiy 
the  affairs  of  the  district  had  been  conducted,  and  to 
secure  better  c"veminent  for  it.  He  had  reason  to 
believe  that  this  object  had  already  been  attained, 
and  he  would  therefore  withdraw  the  other  ch:irges. 
After  some  discussion  the  committee  adjourned  sub- 
ject to  the  call  of  the  Chair.  It  is  understood  tbat 
the  committee  will  report  all  the  charces  proved. 
Mr.  Leake  has  persistently  refiuted  to  attend  any  of 
the  mecti^nKS,  or  offer  any  explanation  or  defi^use. 
It  is  more'than  probable  hi's  resi^atinn  aa  President 
will  be  speedily  handed  in.  As  affairs  stand  now. 
it  appenrs  to  be  President  Leake  against  the  Kepnb-  j 
lican  Association  of  the  Fifth  Assembly  District.  / 

A  MT&TERIOUS  liOBBERT.  I

trated last  Saturday.  On  Satur«lay  morning  she 
went  to  market,  and  before  going  .carefully  locked 
her  bureau,  in  one  of  the  drawers  ofl  which  she  keeps 
her  valuable  jewelry.  i>he  then  hidlthe  key.  While- 
at  market  she  met  two  friends  .-ind  ii^vited  them  to  go. 
liome  with  her.  On  reaching  home  she  took  th* 
bureau  key  from  its  hiding  place  and  unlockini:  the 
jewelrj-  drawer  left  the  key  hans:lng  in  its  key-hole. 
Soon  after  her  two  visitors  left  Mrs.  Weatheiill  hud 
of'casion  to  look  for  her  jewelry  and  found  that  a 
valuable  diamond  cross  of  very*  fine  workmunxhip 
was  jjone.  It  cost  $1,500  aud  had  11  line  diamonds 
in  it,  beven  on  the  upright  (»iece  and  two  on  the 
tlanks.  The  stones  were  placet)  in  knife  setting,  and 
around  the  eiige  of  the  ^ross  was  a  black  enamel  line 
so  faint  as  :o  be  scanxly  perceptible.  The  cross  was 
attached  to  a  gmird  chain. 


A  A'  OUTRAGEOUS  ASSAULT. 
On  last  Thursday  evening  Francis  Sebastian, 
of  No.  l'J9  Blcfcker  street,  a  young  Cuban  who  has 
been  in  this  country  only  a  few"  days,  requested

THE  GREAT  FORGERY  CASES. 

♦■■ 

X'ORE  UGST  OS  A  DARK  SUBJECT. 

A    WiUT     OF     HABEAS    CORPUS    IN    "WESTON'S 

CASE — ^DETECTIVE    JAYNE'S    CONKECTION 

THTH  THE  CASE — BIS  BASQAIN  WITH  THE 

TJKION    TRUST     COMPANY    AND     HOW    IT 

CAliE    TO    BE  BROKEN — THE  KANNEB   IN 

^        "WHJCH  FORGERS  OBTAIN  BLANK  CHECKS. 

The  work  of  the  detectives  in  the  $64,000 

forgery  ease  wa*  almost  at  a  standstill  yesterday. 

The  fev  mysteries  In  the  case  that  have  not  already 

been  nnravoled  by  THK'TrMES  have  given  the  shrewd 

detectives  brain  work  for  the  laa%24  hoars,  bnt  the 

work  has  been  confined  principally  to  brains,  bands 

and  handcuffs  having  little  part  in  the  play.    In  the 

rooming  Jndge   Van    Brunt,   in   Supreme   Court. 

Chambers,  granted  a  writ  of  habeas  eoxpus  In  the 

cau  of  E.  B.  Weston,   requiring  the  production  of 

his  body  In  court  on  Thursday  morning   at   10:30 

o'clock,  and  this  was  the  only  material  work  of  the 

day. 

An  intimate  friend  of  Detective  Jayne,  who  Is  said 
to  bo  well  Informed  of  the  conduct  of  that  oCBcer's 
business,  gav«  a  new  and  unique  account  of  the  de- 
tective's connection  with  the  case  yesterday.  The 
story,  as  told  with  great  confidence  and  assurance  of 
truth  by  the  friend.  Is  that  about  a  month  after  the 
discovery  of  the  fontery  of  the  $64,000  check 
of  the  New- York  Life  Insurance  Company 
Detective  Jayne  went  to  the  officers  of  the 
Vnion  Trust  Company  and  said  that  he  was 
acquainted,  or  could  become  acquainted,  with  the 
particulars  of  the  foncery,  and  that  if  the  company 
would  give  him  25  per  cent,  of  the  amount,  he  would 
see  that  the  money  was  returned  to  them.  The 
TruRt  Company,  it  is  siud,  agreed  to  this  proposition, 
and  the  detective  went  to  work.  After  several 
months  of  work— the  exact  length  of  time  is  not 
stated — he  returned  to  the  IVust  Company's  ofBee,  and 
said  that  he  had  recovered  the  $64,000,  and 
demanded  his  one-quarter  share.  The  Trust  Com- 
pany, knowing  that  if  the  money  was  recovered,  the 
criminals  must  have  been  discovered,  and  feeling 
sure  of  eventually  recovering  the  money,  refused  to 
pay  the  25  per  cent,  saving  that  they  had  agrreed 
to  pay  for  the  return  of  the  money  and  the  appre- 
hension of  the  criminals,  but  not  for  the  recovery  of 
the  money  alone.  Detective  Jayne  replied 
that  he  had  agreed  ■  to  have  the  money 
returned  for  25  per  cent,  of  the  value  of  the  check, 
and  that  the  money  had  been  recovered ;  but  that  n^ 
acreemeut  had  been  made  covering  or  suggesting  thP 
i^ivine  up  of  the  criminal,  and  he  refused  positively 
to  hand  over  the  money  unless  his  percentage  was 
paid  without  the  exposure  of  the  forger.  While  the 
question  was  under  consideration  by  the  l^rust  Com- 
pany's officers,  and  before  they  had  received  any 
of  the  recovfflfed  money,  Hartman.  the  Chi- 
cago constable  who  was  associated  with  Ja^nie 
in  hi8  work  in  that  city,  and  who  was  possessed  of 
all  the  facts,  made  them  known,  ':or  "  cave  them 
awav."  and  in  a  short  lime  they  reached  the  ears  of 
the  Trust  Compauy'ii  officers,  who,  as  soon  as  they 
learned  the  names  and  whereabouts  of  the  criminals, 
conid  of  course  proceed  acalnst  them  independent- 
Iv  of  Detective  Jayne,  which  they  are  now  doing. 
The  conclusion  of  the  story  is  that  Jayne, 
when^  he  found  that  the  Trust  Company 
was  -on  the  track  of  the  criminals,  said 
that  while  hunting  for  traces  of  the  $64,000  forgers, 
he  had  accidentlv  come  upon  the  forgers  of  Lanier  & 
Co's  name  to  the  $26,9S6  75  check  on  the  Third 
ational  Bank,_.and  that  he  would  go  to  work  at 
once  to  finish  up  that  case,  which  he  old,  abandoning 
the  Tmst  Company's  case  entirely.  Such  is  the  story 
as  told  by  Detective  Jayne's  friend. 

The  forgers  and  their  work  were  the  principal  sub- 
jects of  conversation  among  the  detectives  yesterday. 
The  latter  universally  scouted  the  idea  that  these 
men.  or  other  forgers  as  a  rule,  incurred  the  risk  or 
eipen«e  of  enffravinc  blanks  of  the  bank  checks-^ 
or  drafts  that  they  desired  to  operato^th.  A  much 
easier  way,  and  much  surer  and  simpler,  was  de- 
pf*ribed.  Vearly  all  the  lithographing  and  en>n^ving 
for  the  larce  banks  and  commercial  houses  is  done  in 
one  of  half  a  dozen  large  lithographing  or  engravinf; 
houses.  Two  men  are  detailed  to  become  acquainted 
with  the  engraving  houses,  and  particularly  to  learn 
the  hour,  about  the  middle  of  the  day,  when  the 
men  go  to  dinner.  Watching,  on  a  certain 
dfty,  till  all  the  men  in  one  of  the  e$- 
tnhlistunents  have  gone  to  dinner,  leaving 
only  a  boy  or  yonnc  aporentice  to  foard  the 
premises,  the  two  watchers  go  into  the  office  and  in- 
quire for  the  manager  by  name.  Belni;  told  that  he 
Is  ont  they  express  great  regret,  saying  that  they 
have  only  a  few  minutes  to  spare,  and  wish  to  leave 
in  order  for  some  printing.  After  some  conversation 
with  the  boy  thev  determine  to  leave  their  order  in 
a  note  for  the  manager,  and  ask  the  boy  to  show 
them  Jtome  samples.  Ever>-  tar^  engraving  house 
has  its  check  and  dmft  samples  done  up  in 
packages  like  greenbacks  from  the  Treasu- 
r>'.  and  while  one  of  the  conspirators  is 
ivritiue  the  note  to  the  manager  the  other 
looks  hurriedly  overth**  samples andabstractsadozen 
Drmore,  while  his  confederate  engage^t  the  boy's  atten- 
:iun  in  another  direction,  and  is  thus  provided  not 
:»nlv  with  the  blank  needed  for  immediate  use,  but 
?nib  a  handful  more  for  future  operations.  The  case 
n-a.^  mentioned  of  an  experienced  forger,  who,  the  de- 
rectives  say.  is  making  $lOO  a  day  or  more  with 
•ounterfeit  checks,  and  operating  in  &och  a  way  that 
.t  is  almost  impossible  to  catch  him.  Having  pro- 
dded himself  with  a  bundle  of  blank  che<^  in 
I  he  w.iy  above  described,  he  mails  a  let- 
ter in  >ew-York  to  Mr.  John  Smith,  directing 
it  to  some  inland  city,  in  care  of  the  best  hotel  in  the 
place.  Several  days  afterward  he  takes  a  train  for 
the  city  named,  goes  to  the  hotel  to  which  he  has  ad- 
dressed the  letter,  engajies  rooms,  and  inquires  for 
letters.  Being  handed  the  letter  be  ha**  pre^nously 
mailed  to  himself,  he  opens  It  In  presence  of  the 
dork,  takes  out  the  check  he  has  himself  put  In  it. 
and.  handing  it  to  the  clerk,  asks  him  to  deposit  it  in 
the  office  safe.  Staying  in  the  hotel  for  several  days, 
he  unexpectedly  receives  a  telegram  (from  a  confed- 
erate; summoning  him  In  haste  to  some,  distant 
city.  He  shows  the-  hasty  telegram  to  the 
clerk.  ask<«  him  to  deduct  the  amount  of  his  bill  from 
the  check  and  give  him  the  change,  and  in  an  hour  is 
in  the  cars,  .safe  from  detection,  and  re.idy  to  bc^ 
the  same  game  in  .some  other  city  next  day.  This 
man  has  been  practicing  this  swindle  for  months,  the 
•teeret  of  his  immunity  from  punisliment  being  that 
the  hotels,  having  already  lost  the  amotint  of  his  bill 
and  the  change  given  for  thw  forged  checks,  do  not 
care  or  cannot  afford  to  go  to  the  additional  expense 
of  employing  detectives  to  hunt  him  up. 

Detectivo  Elder  reached  the  City  yesterday  mora

familiar  haunts  were  carefally  avoided. 


THE  ST.  LOUIS  BON'D  FOROERIE-S. 
A  detective,  in  conversation  with  a  Times  re- 
porter yesterday,  informed  the  latter  that  theprin- 
.■ipal  object  sought  to  be  obtained  in  arresting  "Jack"' 
('annon.  who  with  Carrerar  and  Huested  was  accused 
Df  forging  St.  Louis  County  bonds,  was  to  search 
Cannon's  house,  with  the  view  of  finding 
iome     doctimentary     evidence     to      use      against 

lim  on  his  trial.  The  officers  after  ran- 
>.icking  bureaus,  closets,  &c..  J  utterly  failed 
to  find  anything  that  would  in  the  least  tend  to  crim- 
inate him.  "Jack"  is  very  shrewd  and  cunning,  and 
it  is  owing  to  his  shrewdness  that  he  escaped  the 
fate  of  his  "pals."  Carrerar  and  Huestea,  who 
were  each  held  in  $10,000  bail.  If  Carrerar,  who 
admitted  to  Detective  Pinkerton  that  it  was  from 
f 'annon  he  received  the  St.  Louis  County  bond  No. 
1.;M.5  found  in  his  possession,  were  put  upon  the 
stand  and  allowed  to  turn  State's  evidence,  his  own 
word,  unsnnported,  without  any  corroboration  what- 
ever, wonld  not  hold  good  before  any  jnry.  The 
J  :ouri  viewing  the  matter  in  this  light,  considered  it 
iidvisable  to  hold  Carrerar  and  allow  Cannon  to  go. 
Huested  and  Carrerar,  at  present  in  the  Tomb^  un- 
der advice  of  counsel,  still  refuse  to  talk. 

The  writs  of  habeas  corpus  heretofore  granted  for 
the  production  in  court  of  Carrerar  and  H  nested 
were  withdraiyn  vesterday,  and  new  writs  directed 
ti  Warden  Quinii.  of  the  Tombs,  and  returnable  ou 
Thursday,  were  grant  e<l.

THE  ELEVATED  ROAD  TRANSFEJt  CABS. 

What  may  prove  to  be  an  obstacle  to  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  means  df  rapid  transit  direct  from 
*he  Grand  Central  Depot  to  the  lower  parts*  of  the 
City,  has  manifested  itself  in  an  effort  of  the  Madi- 
son-Avenue Line  of  stages  to  set  up  alegal  obstruction 
to  the  project  of  the  Elevated  Railroad  Company  to 
mn  cabs  from  the  depot  to  their  Forty-second-street 
station.  Formal  complaint  was  made  yesterday  to 
the  Mayor's  Marshal  that  this  omnibtis-cab  line  was 
being  mn  in  violation  ef  the  law  passed  by  the  Le- 
gislature in  1857,  forbidding  the  granting  of  the  au- 
thority to  run  stages  or  omnibuses  by  the  Common 
Council,  and  prohibiting  the  establishment  of  any 
such  route,  unless  the  consent  of  the  majority  of  the 
owners  of  propertv  along  the  proposed  route  shall 
have  first  been  obtained  and  providing  that  after 
snch  consent  shall  liave  been  granted,  the  privilege 
to  run  tlie  conveyances  shall  be  disposed  of  by  the 
City  at  public  auction  to  the  highest  bidder.  The 
Btnge  owners  claim  that  the  cabs  used  by  the  Elevated 
Kailioad  Company  are  operated  by  Dodd's  Transfer 
Companv  nr.iier  contract ;  while  the  railroad  com- 
[►anv  claims  th.it  the  cabs  are  not  a  line  of  stages,  but 
ftimpl  v  a  part  of  their  railroad  line.  They  sell  tickets 
to  the"  (jrnnd  Central  Depot,  and  cliarge  nothing  extra 
for  the  use  of  the  cabs  by  the  passencerB.  and  do  not,  as 
'<  cnsi.-mary  on  the  regular  ati^e  tines,  receive  and 
riischtirge  -tassongers  between  the  depot  and  their  up- 
town station.  The  question  of  the  legality  of  thia 
5j-8tem  of  transfer  was  submitted  to  the  Coriwration 
^>i.^^^ilusel  for  decision.

given  a  snccesidon  of  other  blows  that  knocked  bim

TROUBLES  OF  A  BROOKLYN  MANAGER, 


STRIKE  07  THK  ORCHESTRA  IN  8AMUELLS* 
MOZART  GARDEN — A  CONTRACT  SUBCEP- 
TIBLE   OP  TWO   CONSTRtTCnONS. 

A  plaoe  of  amusement  known  as  the  '*  Moeart 
Garden  "  was  recently  opened  in  Brooklyn  under  the 
management  of  Mr.  A.  R.  Samuells,  late  of  the  New 
Park  Theatre,  in  the  same  city.  Mr.  Samnells  en- 
gaged a  musician  named  Emil  Seifert  as  the  leader 
of  his  orchestra,  under  a  written  contract  which  au- 
thorized Prof.  Seifert  to  engage  an  orcbectra  and  solo 
artists  for  the  season  commencing  Angtut,  lS77,and 
ending  August,  187S,  and  also  authorised  him  to  ex- 
pend a  sum  not  exceeding  $450  for  the  open- 
ing week,  the  orchestra  thereafter  to  be  reduced  at 
the  option  of  Mr.  Samuells.  SundM^nightlast  closed 
the  second  week  of  the  concerts.  For  the  first  week 
Mr.  Samuells  lins  receipts  from  Seifert  and  from 
two  solo  artist.*; — Signor  Del  LagO  and  Miss  Franklin 
—for  $5t)S,  and  for  the  second  week  he  has  Prof. 
Self ert's  receipts  in  full  for  each  night's  concert,  $36 
each  night,  and  for  $10  for  eieht  extra  musicians  for 
the  sacred  concert,  making  $76  fo&  Sunday  night's 
performance.  Mr.  Seifert  elwras  that  he  was  to  re- 
ceive $100  per  week  for  his  own  services  as  leader, 
but  that  he  has  not  only  paid  his  musician*)  every 
cent  of  money  he  has  received  from  Samuells,  but 
thst  Samuells 'is  $108  i>ehind'on  this  aceonnt.  On 
Sundav  night,  when  the  concert  was  half  over,  Seifert 
went  to  Samuells  and  demanded  $36,  suying  that  he 
would  not  finish  the  concert  unless  he  was  paid.  He 
was  finally  induced  to  go  on  with  the  concert  under  a 
promise  from  Samuells  that  he  wonld  pavhim$lO 
when  he  was  through,  which  $10  Samuells  refused 
afterward  to  pay,  and  the  consequence  was  that  the 
leader  struck,  the  orchestra  struck,  and  last  night 
there  was  no  concert  at  Mozart  Garden. 

Mr.  Samuells  said  last  night  that  -he  bad  simply 
done  what  all  mansgers  did  under  similar  circum- 
stances. He  had  engaged  a  leader  who  liad  agreed  to 
furnish  him  with  an  orchestra  and  solo  artists  at  a 
certairt  price  for  the  opening  weeks,  after  which  the 
orchestra  was  to  be  reduced  at  bis  [Mr.  Sainuells'J  op- 
tion ;  that  he  had  t>aid  the  leader  $."168  for  the  first 
week,  including  $140  to  his  solo  artists,  and  that 
he  had  also  paid  bim  in  full  for  each  night's  con- 
cert during  the  whole  of  last  week.  He 
said  "that,  notwithstanding  he  had  .  wdd 
for  the  concert  on  Sunday  night,  Sir. 
Seifert  came  to  him  when  the  concert  was  about  half 
over  and  demwn(le<i  $36  more,  saying  that  he  owed  a 
friend  that  amount,  and  the  friend  was  there  demand- 
ing the  money,  and-be  must  pay  it  or  he  would  not  go 
on  with  the  concert:  that  he  had  played  there  for 
two  weeks  and  spent  money  for  car  fare  and  music, 
and  hftd  not  himself  received  one  cent.  Mr.  Samuells 
refused  to<^^  the  $3(>,  und  told  Seifert  that  he 
had  already  Jjaid  $76  for  that  night's  con- 
cert, and  he  "  must  go  on  with  the  pro- 
gramme :  that  if  he  stopped  he  [SamnellsJ  wonld  be 
compelled  to  refund  the  money  to  the  people  who 
had  come  to  the  concert,  and  if  he  [Seifert]  would 
not  go  on  and  finish  the  concert  he  most  refund  the 
$76.  Seifert  then  ordered  his  clerk  to  go  upon  the 
platform  and  get  his  music,  and  started  to  go  him- 
self, when  Samuells  seized  them  both  by  the  collar, 
and  ordered  the  oflRcers  not  to  allow  the  musicians  to 
pass  out  until  they  had  either  finished 
the  concert  or  refunded  the  $76.  After  con- 
siderable parleying,  Seifert  consented  to  finish  the 
concert  and  did' finish  it  on  the  promise  of  $10  from 
3Ir.  Samuells.  which  he  afterward  refused  to  pay. 
Mr.  Samuells  said  that  be  owned  the  building  ;  that 
he  was  not  at  all  dependent  upon  roncerts  for  a  liv- 
ing, and  that  after  a  while,  he  would  either  continue 
his  concerts  or  give  some  light  variety  pertormances. 
He  said  that  he  hud  been  losing  money  ever  since  he 
opened  th'^  garden,  and  he  considered  that  the  refusal 
of  Seifert  to  continue  wss  $50,  at  least.  In  his  pocket 
last  night.  He  denies  that  he  owes  Seifert  anything. 
Musicians  were  engaged  to  famish  a  concert  last  night, 
but.  as  they  were  all  members  of  the  Musical  Union, 
they  conld  not  play  so  long  as  there  was  anything 
claimed  to  be  due  to  Mr.  Seifert. 


TBE  LABOR  PROBLEM, 


AN  OPEN  LETTER  FROM  MR.  R.  B.  ROOSEVELT 
TO  MAYOR  ELY — REASONS  WHY  SUFFER- 
ING LABORING  MEN  SHOULD  BE  EMPLOYED 
— PUBLIC  IMPROVEMENTS  THAT  CAN  NOW 
BE  CONSTRUCTED  CHEAPLY — AN  APPEAL 
FOR  THE  WORKING  CLASSES. 

The  following  open  letter  has  been  addressed 
by  Mr.  Robert  B.  Roosevelt  to  Mayor  Ely : 

Hon.  Smith  Ely,  Jr.: 

I  am  impelled  to  write  this  letter  to  yon  from  a 
strong  conviction  that  the  public  does  not  fully  ap^ 
preciate  the  unhappy  condition  of  many  laboring 
men  in  this  City.  AU  of  us,  rich  and  poor,  feel  the 
hard  times  that  are  upon  the  country— the  rich  by 
enforced  sacrifice  of  pleasures  or  extravagances,  the 

fioor  by  a  clo!<er  approach  of  hollow-eyed  want  and 
n  the  nearer  Ij-ing  of  the  wolf  at  the  dtmr.  Ther*» 
used  to  be  a  saying  In  our  country  when  these 
two  classes  were  closer  allied  than  they  seem  to 
have  become  of  late  years  :  "Take  care  of  the  boor ; 
the  rich  cau  take  care  of  themselves."  The  pres- 
ent is  one  of  those  occasions,  happilv  rare  on 
our  side  of  the  Atlantic,  when  private  beneficence 
cinnot  reach  the  pressing  need.  The  persons  for 
whom  I  would  speak  want  work,  not  alms — thev  are 
st<*a(ly  working  men.  not  cringing  beggars.  ^Vo^k 
cannot  be  oht«ine<l  through  its  ordinary  channels  ; 
shops,  factories,  foundries  and  mills  are  do-ted  ;  the-' 
entire  community  is  ha%-ing  its  relapse  into  torpor 
after  fifteen  years  of  feverish  excitement.  I  wonld 
ask  you  if  it  be  not  i>ort^ihIe  that  work  could,  to  a 
certain  extent,  l»e  wisirly  and  profitably  fumitlied  by 
the  Municipal  Government.  It  is  not  my  purpose  to 
enter  into  a  diwuKsion  of  the  everlasting  principles 
of  ]>oliticaI  economy,  nor  to  argue  whether  or  not 
one  portion  of  the  oommunity  is  nnder  any  legal 
or  moral  obligation  to  help  another,  or  whether 
it  is  the  duty  of  the  State  to  take  a  pateiijal  care  of 
its  children.  The  crisis  is  a  peculiar  one.  and  may 
justify  unusual  remciies,  out  of  the  line  of  what  is 
ordinarily  sound  statecraft.  Contnmeiy  and  abuse 
have  imeh  heaped  upon  the  foolish  part  of  the  labor- 
ing classes  who  started  the  late  railroad  striken  and 
thought  ti)  increasH  their  wages  by  destroying  the 
capitalwhich  nione  gave  them  wages.  Riots  have 
b<>en  denounced  «nd  bullets  called  for  to  convince 
rioters.  But,  after  all.  i**  there  any  jrood  reason  to 
expect  greater  wisdom  from  a  lahorinK  than  from 
any  oll^r  man.  for  the  labor  question  has  perplexed 
the  world  since  the  days  of  Roman  agrariauism,  and 
the  best  tliinkers  have  failed  to  .solve  it.  A  gentler 
class  of  advisers  has  preached  patience  to  the  suf- 
ferers, but  in  a  stmcgle  between  patience  and  star- 
vation, starvotttm  is  ant  to  have  the  best  of  It.  It 
is  vain  to  ar^rne  with  empty  bellies.  The  man 
who  has  no  work,  and  sees  his  wife  and  family 
hungri.-.  is  not  in  a  £;oo(i  mood  for  caim^discti^sion  of 
Ih^orelical  probleras- 

I  know  the  City  i»  not  in  a  condition  to  add  much 
to  its  debt:  it  has  been  robl>ed  dnring  the  day  of 
robberies,  bnt  It  Is  still  wealthy  and  its  credit  sound. 
There  are  public  workx  which 'are  needed,  and  wliich 
ran  be  cheaply  built  at  present.  "We  have  a  system 
by  mistake  called  •'Chnrities  and  Correction" — it 
-shonld  he  named  "  Wastefulness  and  Encourairement 
of  Vite "' — bv  which  all  the  tramps,  idlers,  vagabonds, 
and  criminais  of  the  entire  country  are  invited  to 
take  up  their  al>ode  with  us  dunng  the  Winter. 
Even  the  money  thrown  away  in  this  direction  could 
be  made  a  vast  help  to  the  honest  and  Industrious  if 
properly  used,  and  certwnry  the  increase  to  our 
uopnlatlon  which  it  brings  in  its  ordinary  use  will 
oe  anything  bnt  a  beneficial  addition  to  a  large  lalior 
client  nnt  of  work  and  suffering  for  the  needs  of 
life.  It  is  said  contractors  can  hire  day  laborers  in 
this  City  for  75  cents  a  day.  I  would  ask  those 
who  preach  patience  whether  75  cents  a  day  is  not 
a  pretty  fair  limit  of  pattL-nce  to  n  large  family,  and 
I  would  snaiest  that  we  shotUd  not  bandv  words 
nor  wait  tilliVinter  is  upon  ua  before  we  take  some 
steps  to  effect  a  change.  There  may  be  difficulty  In 
the  detail  arrangement  of  any  plan,  but  let  us 
try  some  plan  and  convince  the  i>oor  that  we  have  the 
blood  of  civilized  men  in  our  veins,  and  that  we 
do  not  value  our  money  dearer  than  their  lives. 
There  is  also  danger  that  any  plan  max  be  used  as  a 
political  machine,  but  the  community  has  known 
yon  long,  both  in  public  and  private  capacity ;  it  has 
confidence  in  you,  and  bears  still  fresh  m  Its  memory 
that  you  can  rise  above  partisan  sentiment  In  what 
you  consider  a  matter  of  principle  and  honor.  To 
you  it  would  intrust  the  prei>aration  and  execution 
of  a  scheme  with  entire  confidence,  either  to  com- 
plete our  docks  or  pave  our  streets  or  finish  general 
improvements,  and  at  least  all  the  charitable.  Chris- 
tian, and  generous  of  our  tax-payers  will  stand  by 
you.  To  the  others  I  would  add  a  few  words  of 
warning.  A  riot  costs  more  money  to  suppress 
than  it  does  to  prevent,  as  we  learned  during  the 
days  of  the  draft  and  PiHsbnrg  is  learning  now. 
Our  Police  and  citizen  soldiers  are  admirably  pre- 
pared, and  can  suppress  any  outbreak,  but  the 
mere  outbreak  woula  be  an  e^aenslve  thing.  It 
does  not  do  to  palter  or  drift,  and  we  iiave  an  emer- 
gency upon  US  which  must  be  met.  We  tri*'d  shuffling 
when  the  draft  was  threatened,  and  only  hastened  to 
correct  our  mistake  after  three  days  of  anarchy  and 
three  nights  of  horror.  Nor  is  it  a  graceful  thing  to 
do  from  terror  what  would  have  come  very  huid- 
somely  from  favor.  We  then  issued  bounty  bonds, 
secured  substitutes,  and  insisted  on  a  revision  of  the 
enrolment  list  after  the  mob  had  enforced  their  de- 
mands with  the  torch  and  the  knife.  Let  tts  be 
beforehand  with  them  this  time.  Honest  men  may 
not  be  rioters,  but  honest  men  become  wonderfully 
indifferent  to  the  safety  of  the  worldly  possessions 
of  their  neighbors  when  themselves  are  starving. 
Tours  very  truly,         ROBERT  B.  ROOSEVELT.

LIABILITIES  ESTIMATED  AT  NEABLT 
HALT  A  MILLION  DOLLAES-7SCSPENSIOK 
OF  8.  A.  BEEEMAX  A  CO.  WITH  LABOE 
LIABILITIES — OTHER  MINOR  FAILURES, 
The  failure  of  L.^  Roberts  &  Co.,  grain  and 
flour  merchants,  at  No.  17  Bonth-street,  reported  in . 
ThkTiu¥3  on  Sunday,  has  occasioned  little  com- 
ment in  hustness  circles.  The  trouble  really  began 
in  1873,  when  the  firm  fatted,  owing  to  shrinkage  of 
real  estate  values,  Mr.  Roberts  being  an  investor  to 
a  large  extent  in  lands  about  Tarrytowny  When  the 
first  failnre  occurred,  the  firm  made  ajj^rrangement 
to  pay  Its  ereditots  in  full,  and  Mr.  Roberts  now 
says  that  he  undertook  too  much,  and  the  present 
suspension  is  therefore  forced  upon  him.  He  says 
that  the  liabilities  will  not  much  exceed  $250,000, 
and  that  he  has  large  aaseta  which 
he  cannot  speedily  convert  to  the  pur- 
pose of  li<]utdsting  hla  debts.  He  thinks  it  probable 
that  he  will  have  to  go  through  bankruptcy  before 
he  can  resume  business.  In  the  meantime,  to  keep 
his  business  together,  the  customers  of  Roberts  & 
Co.  have  been  turned  awer  Jesse  Hoyt  &  Co.  Out- 
side the  firmi  In  business  circles,  It  is  the  opinion 
that  the  firm  have  Indulged  somewhat  freely  in 
speculation,  and  their  Ill-success  in  lai^  ventures  in 
real  estate  and  other  directions  has,  it  is  s^d,  added 
to  their  already  embarrasflod  circumstances,  and  It  Is 
thought  that  their  liabilities  will  greatlv  exceed 
$300,000.  Jesse  Hojt  &  Co.  say  that  they  are  in 
no  way  concerned  in  Roberts  &  C-o.'s  failure,  bnt 
have  simply  consented  to  take  such  business  as  they 
may  turn  over  to  them. 

The  straw  goods  and  millinery  trades  have 
suffered  severely  by  depreciation  in  values,  and  sev- 
eral failures  are  reported.  The  large  firm  of  S.  A. 
Beekman  &  Co.,  manufacturers  and  wholesale  deal* 
ers  in  straw  goods,  at  Nos.  537  and  539  Broadway, 
rfnd  at  Franklin,  Mass.,  have_failed,  with  heavy  lia- 
bilities, variously  estimated  si  from  $100,000  to

A  MAN  WITH  TWO  WIVES. 

THE  BIGAMOUS  MARRIAGE  OF  A  WESTERN 
IRON  FOUUDER  WITH  A  BROOKLYN  OIRL 
— THE  CEREMONY  PERFORMED  BY  AN 
UNDERTAKER — AN  ALLEGED  CASE  OF 
KIDNAPPING.  • 
A  new  and  astonishing  development  was 
made  yesterday  In  the  habeas  corpus  case  of  Wbite 
against  Merrimon.  before  Judge  Reynolds,  In  the 
Brooklyn  City  Court.  "VNTiite  is  a  wellto-do  iron 
founder  of  Milwaukee,  Wis.  In  March  last  he  went 
to  Europe,  leaving  his  infant  son  in  charge  of  his 
wife.  ;irho  Is  the  daughter  of  David  and  Ann  Merri- 
mon. On  Tuesday  of  la.it  week  he  returned  to  this 
country,  and  when  he  sought  to  recover  his  boy  his 
wife's  parents  refused  to  give  him  up.  He  then 
applied  to  Judge  Reynolds  for  a  writ  of  habeas  cor- 
pus, the  writ  being  returnable  on  Saturday  morning 
last.  Mr.  Merrimon  answered  this  writ,  and  In- 
formed the  court  that  his  wife  had  taken  the  child 
and  disappeared,  and  he  did  not  know  where  either 
of  them  were.  He  was  given  until  yesterday  morn- 
ing to  produce  the  cltUd  or  go  to  jail  for  contempt  of 
court.  Mrs.  White,  the  mother  of  the  child.  Is  a  very 
pretty  young  woman,  aged  about  *-0  years.  Her 
story  Is  a  very  remarkable  one.  She  says  that  her 
husband  Is  a  wealthy  Iron  manufacturer  of  Milwau- 
kee. Wis.  Some  four  or  five  years  ago  he  cams 
to  .Jersey  City  t<t  buy  machinerj'.  and  feelinff  lonely, 
advertiKed  for  friends  from  Cantleliar.  Ireland,  from 
which  place  he  name.  Mrs.  ilerrimon,  who  came 
from  the  name  place,  thought  the  man  mieht  have 
been  taken  «Ick  and  wanted  some  one  to  take  care  of 
him.  She  answere<l  the  advertisement,  and  the  result 
was  Mr.  White  became  intimate  with  the  family. 
.Tennie  Merrimon.  his  wife,  was  then  only  15*3 
years  old.  White  represented  hlmrielf  to  be 
a  widfiwcr.  won  the  affections  of  Jennie,  gained  the 
conRcnt  of  her  father  and  mother  to  their  marriajre, 
and  then,  after  iwo  weeks  of  court- 
ship, returned  to  Milwsukee.  A  short  time 
afterward  she  received  a  letter  from  him  asking  her 
to  meet  him  in  Chirago,  where  they  would  be  mar-'- 
ried.  She  cumnlied  with  his  rooueiit  and  went  to 
Chiraco,  accompanied  by  her  "brotner-ln-law.  White 
met  them  and  took  them  to  the  Briefs  Hnase.  He 
at  once  proposed  matrimony,  and  sent  her  brother- 
in-law  out  for  wine,  &c.  As  soon  as  her  brother-in- 
law  was  gone  some  one  knocked  at  the  door,  and 
when  it  was  opened  asked  for  Mr.  White. 
He  said  he  was  the  clergyman  sent  to 
marry  a  couple ;  that  he  had  only  15 
minutes  to  spare,  and  that  the  ceremony  munt  pro- 
ceed at  once.  Jennie  inRisted  that  they  must  wait 
until  her  brother-in-law  returned,  but  was  finely  in- 
duced to  forego  her  objection,  and  stood  up,  and  the 
stranger,  who  wdd  his  nnme  was  Walsh,  mnrried 
them,  giving  them  a  certificate.  She  sayw  that  White 
tried  to  persuade  her  to  give  up  the  certificate,  which 
she  refused  to  do,  and  thot  he  afterward  stole  it  from 
her  pcK'ket  when  she  was  asleep,  and  burned  it. 
>^nbiiequently.  she  nayB,  she  found  a  letter  In  her 
husltand's  pocket,  beginning  "Dearest  and  Best 
of  Husbands,"  and  that  a  f#(r  dnvs  afterward 
a  woman  with  two  children,  who  claimed  to  be 
White's  wife,  came  from  Canada.  She  hss  since 
learned,  also,  tliat  the  man  who  married  them- was 
not  a  cierpyman.  but  an  undertaker  named  Cutler. 
Yesterday  Rh©  applied  to  Justice  Walsh  for  a  war- 
rant for  the  arrest  of  her  husband  on  a  charge  of 
bigamy,  which  was  refused  on  the  ground  of  want  of 
jurbsdi'tion.  She  subsequffntlv  Bsked  District- Attor- 
ney Britton  if  she  could  cause  White's  arrest  here  for 
bigamy,  and  was  Informed  that  the  warrant  must  bo 
ajiplif^  for  in  the  county  where  the  ofTense  wan  com- 
mitted. Mrs.  Merrimon  it*  now  nnder  arrent  in  Jer-

MART^WVERMOTTS  SWINDLES, 

HOW  SHE  IMPOSED  ON  THE  BEKEDICTINE 
KITNS  OP  NEWARK— HEE  DISMISSAL  FROM- 
THE  CONVENT— A  TRIP  TO  EUROPE  TOt^ 
LOWED  BY  HER  ARREST  IN  BROOKLYN. 
Some  additional  particulars  concerning  the 
swindling  ofwrations  of  Mary  McDermott,  who  was 
arrested  in  Brooklyn  on  Wednesday  last,  have  been 
brought  to  light.  It  appears  that  in  1873  she  ap- 
plied at  the  Benedictine  Convent,  in  Newark,  N.  J., 
for  admission  as  a  novice.  She  presented  letters 
from  Rev.  Patrick  Daly  and  Paul  Minard,  JeMilts,  of 
New-York,  stroogly  recommending  her.  She  told  the 
Prioress  that  she  was  bom  near  French  Park,  County 
Roscommon,  Ireland,  and  was  21  years  of  age  ;  that 
•he  was  an  heiress  to  an  estate  worth  $200,000 
which  she  would  inherit  on  the  death  of  her  mother. 
She  had  entered  the  Ursuline  Academy,  Dnblin,  at  an 
earlr  age,  intending  to  become  a  Sister,  but  left  that 
inititnUon  because  she  had  a  vision  that  she  should 
become  a  Benedictine  nun?  Mary  was  admitted  to 
the  Newark  convent.  S^e  was  well  educated  and 
highly  accomplished,  ana  instructed,  the  pupils  in 
French  and  music  She  was  modest,  pious, humble, and 
obedient,  and  stringently  observed  the  rules.  Among 
the  pupils  was  a  little  daughter-  of  Mr.  William 
McDermott,  through  whom  Mary  was  introduced  to 
the  family.  Some  time  afterward,  Mary,  who  had 
rotated  tile  story  of  her  life  to  McDermott,  began  to 
express  discontent  with  convent  life,  and  naid  she  de- 
sired to  visit  her  estatcih  Ireland.  Letters  which 
she  had  received  from  a  friend  in  Ireland  were  read 
by  her  to  McDermott,  describing  scenes  and  inci- 
dents that  could  only  belong  to  an  elevated  sphere  of 
life.  Familiar  mention  was  made  of  Dukes  and 
Marquises.  After  a  novitiate  of  six  months  TOe  left 
the  convent,  or  rather  she  was  dismi-'^sed  in  conse- 
quence of  her  bavine,  as  alleged,  circulated  false 
stories  regarding  the  nuns  and  the  priests  of  St. 
Mary's  Pnory.  Prior  to  her  dismissal  Father 
Bemardine  defended  her  whenever  he  heard  any- 
thing said  derogatory  to  her ;  and  for  this  she  took 
no  pains  to  conccsl  her  gratitude.  After  leaving  the 
convent  she  went  to  New-York,  and  secured  board  .it 
the  Home  for  Aged  Women,  promising  Sister  Borgia 
to  pay  when  she  secured  remittances  from  Ireland. 
A  week  later  she  returned  to  Newark,  lind  obtained 
a  loan  of  $250  from  Mr.  McDermott  to  pay  her  ex.- 
penses  to  Ireland.  Subsequently  Mr.  McDermott 
received-  numerous  letters  froni  Mary  and  her 
reputed  mother,  setting  forth  among  other  things 
that  she  had  arrived  and  was  the  guest  of  members  of 
Parliament,  Dukes,  &c.  In  a  letter  dated  from  Paris 
in  the  Fall  of  1874  she  informed  McDermott  that 
Khe  had  shipped  to  him  a  lot  of  valuable  silks,  seal- 
skins, &c.,  as  a  present  for  his  kindness.  The  goods, 
however,  never  came  to  hand.  In  the 
Pall  of  1 87.5  she  returned  to  this  coun- 
try, and  presented  herself  at  the  convent 
in  Mndison,  N.  J.,  where  Mr.  McDermotts  dauch- 
ter  was  attending  school,  and  exhibited  a  check 
for  $5,000,  which"  she  said  was  intended  to 
be  prefionted  to  the  young  lady's  father.  Nothing 
more  was  heard  of  her  until  her  arrest  on  Wednes- 
day IsRt.  On  hesring  of  thi.i,  Mr.  McDermott  went 
to  Brooklyn  and  recognized  her. 


THE    ASSAULT  ON   MR.    LIGHTBODY. 

HE  EXONERATES  THE  MAN  HE  FIRST  ACCUSED 
AND  IMPLICATES  HIS  STEP-SON — THE 
LATTER  ADMITS  STRIKING  HIS  STEP- 
FATHER ON  THE  HEAD  WITH  A  HAMMER- 
HAN^E. 

George  il.  Lightbodv,  who  was  fot^nd  in  the 
office  of  his  ink  factory,  No.  129  Furman-street, 
Brooklyn,  at  9  o'clock  on  Sunday  night,  suffering 
from  the  effects  of  a  fracture  of  ^he  skull,  is  still  an 
Inmate  of  the  Long  Island  College  Hospital,  and  was 
somewhat  'frnproved  in  condition  yfeaterday.  The 
Police  of  the  Second  Precinct  have  been  industrious- 
ly engaged  In  endeavorinic  to  ascertain  all  the  par- 
ticnlani  of  the  affair, and  have  partially  succeeded.  As 
stated  In  The  Times  yenterdav  mormng,  Mr.  Light- 
body  informed  the  Police,  at  the  time  of  his  removal 
to  the  hospital,  that  the  assault  wss  committed  by  a 
man  named  Longfellow,  a  ship-builder, who  had  been 
working  for  him  and  slecpinK  in  the  factorj-.  Long. 
fellow  was  arrested  80<)n  afterward  and  taken  to  the 
hospital  for  identification.  Mr.  Lightbody,  however, 
promptly  declared  that  he  was  not  hia 
assailant,  but  that  his  [Ligbtbody's]  step- 
son. Robert  H.  Nelson,  was  the  guilty 
man.  Nelson  is  a  painter,  and  resides  with- Mr. 
Llghthody.  This  unexpected  turn  of  affairs  nut  a 
new  phase  upon  the  matter,  and  Lonjrfellow  was 
asked  to  tell  his  story.  Thift  he  did,  in  substance,  as 
follows:  He  Said  that  Mr.  LiRhtbody  had  been  for 
some  time  past  sleeping  In  the  ink  mnnnfactory.  On 
Saturday  nmht  Mr.  Llghthody  gave  Mr.  Longfellow 
a  five-dollar  bill,  and  sent  him  out  to  buy  a  pair  of 
pantkloons.  He  made  jhe  uurchase,  and  on  his  way 
back  to  the  fa<*tory  stoppeu  at  several  saloons  and 
took  divers  drinks,  arrivini;  at  the  factory  at  a 
rather  unseaAonable  hour.  He  knocked  for  adnils-' 
slon,  but  waa  unable  to  arouse  Mr.  Lightbody.  and 
so  he  sat  down  on  the  .stoop  and  went  to  sleep. 
Waking  up  In  the  morning  he  was  astonUhed  to  find 
that  the  pantaloons  which  he  hadptirrhased  had  been 
stolen.  When  he  came  to  tell  the  storj-  to  Mr.  Light- 
body,  that  eentleman  failed  to  give  him  credit  for 
tellinc  the  truth,  and  accused  him  of  having  spent 
the  $5  in  the  parrhase  of  intoxicating  beverages,  A 
qnarrel  ensued  which  led  to  blows,  and  Longfellow 
says  that  Lightbody  struck  him  several  times  in  the 
face,  caaaing  his  nose  to  bleed  freelv.^nd  that  was 
the  cause  of  hiS-  haviuK  two  of  Mr.  Llghthody's 
towels  in  his  pocket  covered  with  blood  when  ar- 
rested. He  positively  denied  striking  Mr.  Lichtbody. 
rlalmln!?  that  he  only  endeavored  to  ward  off  the 
blown  which  Mr.  Lightbody  aimed  at  him. 

The  Police  then  went  in  search  of  NeLson.  and  he 
was  found  at  his  step-father's  house.  When  ques- 
tioned as  to  his  connection  with  the  affsir  he  ad- 
mitte<t  that  on  Tuesday  last  he  had  a  quarrel  with 
hin  step-father  :  that  "the  old  man"  attacked  him 
with  a  knife,  and  he  struck  him  on  the  head  with  the 
handle  of  a  hammer  in  self-defense.  The  quarrel,  it 
seems,  grew  out  of  the  fact  tb*t  5!r.  Lightbody  re- 
fused longer  to  harbor  Nelson,  who  is  a  son  of  his 
present  wife  by  a  former  husband,  and.  coming  to 
the  conclu-'ton  that  he  had  supported  him  about  long 
enough,  informed  his  wife,  who  had  taken 
side8  with  her  son,  that  either  he  or  NcNon 
must  leave  the  house.  Both  Ijonirfpllow  nnd  Nelson 
wei*e  taken  before  Justice  Walsh  yesterday  morning, 
and  committed  to  jail  until  Thursday,  when  they  are 
to  Hppear  for  einminalion. 

Mr.  LUihtbody  is  a  brother  of  the  wealthy  Ink 
manufacturer  of  that  name  who  died  recently  in 
New- York.  He  was  visited  at  the  hospital  yesterday 
by  a  reporter,  who  found  him  walking  about  his 
room,  apparently  in  a  rational  state  of  mind  ond 
anxious  to  return  to  his  business.  He  paid  that  he 
-did  not  see  any  reason  why  he  shonid  stay  there,  and 
that  he  was  not  sure  he  should  make  any  complaint 
against  his  assailant. 

DEATHS  FROM  A  PECVLIAR  CAUSE- 
William  Selan  died  yesterday  at  St.  Cathe- 
rine's Hospital,  Brooklyn,  E.  D.,  of  lockjaw,  pro- 
duced by  being  poisoned  by  the  carcase  of  a  dead 
cow,  which  he  and  two  companions,  William  Kramer 
and  J.  Peterschen,  found  near  the  gas-works  in  East 
New- York  on  July  16.  They  determined  to  save  the 
hide  of  the  cow.  and  the  impression  was  that  the  ani- 
mal died  from  eatinz  Piuis  green.  I>r.  FehiTfang 
was  called  to  attend  ivramer  and  Pcters- 
clien  on  July  23,  nnd  on  the  succeed- 
ing day  Kramer  died  in  a  stupor,  his 
nerves  seeming  to  be  much  affected  by  con\-ulsive 
movements.  Dr.  FehrgMig  declared  Kramer  s  pymp- 
toms  not  to  be  those  of  arWnlcAl  poisoning,  but  could 
not  sav{>  him,  as  he  had^been  inoculated  with  the 
most  malignant  type  of  Icvor,  the  wounds  on  his 
hands,  which  he  received  prior  to  skinning  the  cow, 
showing  gangrene.  Pejerschen.  who  had  no  abra- 
sions on  hiB  cuticle,  was  saved.  Selan  was  sent  to 
the  Kings  County  Hospital  for  a  time,  and  was  dis- 
chargt^d  recently,  only  to  be  sent,  as  soon  as  arrived 
back  in  East  New-York,  to  the  St.  Catherine's  Hos- 
pital. The  cases  of  the  three  men  have  excited  a 
great  deal  of  attention  among  the  medical  fraternity 
of  Kings  County. 


ACCIDEXT  OX  THE  HARLEM  ROAD. 
An  accident,  in  which  no  one  was  injured,  oc- 
curred on  the  Harlem  Railroad  yesterday.  When 
the  CbqXham  local  express  train,  due  here  at  10:45 
ArM.7  was  just  north  of  Scarsdale  Station,  one  of  the 
wheels  of  the  palace-car  Mazeppa  broke  and  about 
one-eighth  of  the  flange  flew  off.  The  oil-box  and 
another  piece  of  the  wheel  were  lost,  and  then  the 
axle  parted,  and  the  broken  truck  dropped  and  tore 
the  ground.  Four  planks  were  ripped  up  from  in 
front  of  the  station  and  carried  about  a  quarter  pf  »- 
mile.  One  of  them  got  In  such  a  position  as  to  keep

A  ROUGH  AXD  TUMBLE  FIGHT. 
About  2:30  o'clock  yesterday  afternoon  the 
attention  of  passers-byin  the  neighborhood  of  Pier 
No.  6  East  River  was  attracted  by  loud  conversation 
on  the  wharf,  and  those  who  turned  aside  to  dis- 
cover the  cause  of  the  disturbance  found  a  crowd  not 
far  distant  from  the  street-car  tracks,  and  in  the 
midst  of  it  two  men  who  were  being  urged  on  by 
their  neighbors  to  test  tbeir  qualities  of  endurance 
and  bravery  in  a  fight.  The  two  principals  were  seen 
at  a  glance  to  be  unequal  in  strength.  One  was  an 
old  man  with  a  hard  face,  very  much  reddened  by 
exposure  and  drink,  grey  hair  cropped  close  to  his 
head,  shabby  trousers  held  about  liis  waist  by  a 
belt,  and  rough  shoes  evidently  strange  to  blacking. 
Tbe  opponent  of.  this  wirv,  drunken  old  man 
was  a  young,,  very  mucii  sunburned  athlete 
and  canal -boatman.  He.  too,  was  tmder  the 
influence  of  liquor.  He  was  without  shoes,  and  wore 
a  gay  handkerchief  about  his  neck,  and  was  re&Uy 
dark  enough  to  be  taken  at  first  glance  for  a  negrro. 
After  taunts  from  each  side,  which  were  encouraged 
by  the  bystanders,  the  old  man  struck  his  young  op- 
ponent, and  there  was  straightway  a  round  of  blows, 
the  younger  man  receiving  a  terrible  thump 
on  his  lip,  and  immediately  looting  very 
much  the  worse  for  wear,  -  with  the  blood 
streaming  down  his  chin.  A  lull  succeeded,  bnt 
the  ancient  sportsman  was,  to  use  his  own  phrase. 
"  spoiling  for  a  fight,"  and  he  followed  the  youth 
about,  making  free  wagers  that  he  could  * '  whip  him 
in  sL^  minutes."  As  the  two  stood  glaring  at  each 
other,  with  hands  locked,  some  one  pushed  the 
young  man  upon  the  old  one,  when  they  clinched 
and  resumed  the  battle.  Both  were  soon  rolling  on 
the  wharf.  surrotinded  by  a  crowd  of 
200  people,  stevedores,  'longshoremen,  and 
Idlers,  none  of  whom  interfered  except  to 
stand  the  men  on  their  feet  and  let  them  go  on 
again.  Thev  foueht  in  this  way  for  10  minutes, 
until  the  old  man's  face  was  covered  with  wounds 
and  blood,  and  the  young  man  was  in  almost  as  bad  a 
plight.  While  the  men  were- still  savagelV  deter-- 
mined  to  persist  and  have  it  ont,  the  bystanderB  had 
seen  enooch  of  the  brutal  sport,  and  separated  them, 
one  party  leading  the  old  man  away  to  a  neijchboring 
saloon.  .\I1  this  time  not  a  policeman  came  in  sight, 
although  one  had  passed  up  and  down  the  street  op- 
posite the  wharf  dnring  the  fight,  in  plainsight  of  tiie 
crowd.

DBSPEEATE  PEESISTENCE  OF  THE  TCKKS. 

(rOEjrr  Studesi,  Aug.  27. — Since  yes- 
terday afternoon  and  dnriBg  today  the  Tiirks 
bave  mamtained  a  feeble  fire  against  the  de- 
fenses in  the  Schipka  Pass.  The  Bossians 
maintain  all  their  positions.  The  Turks  hold 
the  neighboring  heights,  eontinnally  relieving 
each  other  in  fighting.  They  bring  up  supplies 
on  beasts  of  burden,  and  where  the  roads  are 
impassable  for  the  animals  compel  Bulgarians 
to  drag  the  loads. 

CoKSTAXTisopLE,  Aug.  28.— A  telegram  from 
Adrianople  to-day  announces  that  the  Bussians 
still  hold  Fort  Nicholas,  in  the  Schipta  Pajs. 
The  Turks  are  attacking  the  highest  Russian 
positioas  in  the  Pass.  A  large  number  of 
Tnrkish  wounded  are  arriving  at  Adrianople. 

LojTDOS,  ling.  29.— The  Daily  Netm  has  the 
following  special  dispatch  from  Shumla,  dated 
Toesday,  Aug.  28 :  "'  Yesterday  Suleiman 
Pafiha  made  an  assault  on  the  Russian 
positions  in  the  Schipka  Pass  at  9 
o'clock  in  the  morning.  The  battle,  which 
was  sanguinary,  lasted  until  6  in  the  evening. 
The  enemy,  who  were  assailed  on  both  flanks, 
were  unable  to  resist  the  attack  and  the  Turks 
gained  possession  of  all  the  earthworks  at  the 
opening  of  the  defile." 

A  telegram  to  the  Times  from  Shumla  aLio 
says ;  •'  Suleiman  Paaha  has  captured  nearly 
all  the  Rus.?iau  positions.  The  Russians  lost 
3,000  killed  and  wounded." 

The  ataiu^ard's  dispatch  from  Shumla  says  it 
is  rejjorted  that  the  Russians  have  abandoned 
their  works,  and  that  Suleiman  Pasha  is  pursu- 
ing them.  This  last  version,  however,  seems  to 
•»  exaggerated.

NOUNCED. 

London,  Aug.  29.— The  Daily  Nc\c^  cor- 
respondent, with  the  head-quarters  of  the  Kus- 
Bian  Army  before  Plevna,  writes  from  Poredin. 
Aug.  23 :  "  The  mistake  made  by  the  Russians 
after  the  batde^  of  Plevna  in  not  concentra- 
ting the  whol*«rmy  against  Plevna  and  taking 
U  is  already  beginning  to  produce  its  results. 
The  Turks  have  been  receiving  reinforcements 
mere  rapidly  and  in  greater  numbers  than  the 
Russians,  and  are  beginning  to  take  the 
offensive  all  along  the  line.  The  correspondent 
then  details  the  movements  already  known 
against  the  Schipka  Pass,  and  by  Me- 
hemet  AU's  Army.  He  says :  -It 
seems  that  the  former  movement  was 
not  calculated  upon  or  provided  against.  The 
Talis  are  also  keeping  the  Russians  on  the 
Plevna  front  on  a  continual  qui  vive  by 
soncentrating  troops  as  if  about  to  attack. 
Kothing  could  give  a  better  idea  of  the 
critical  position  of  the  Russians  than 
the  fact  that  a  correspondent  cannot  now 
risk  mentioning  the  number  of  troops 
any^'here  for  fear  of  giving  information 
to  the  Turks,  when  a  few  weeks  ago 
no  secret  was  made  of  any  movement. 
The  Bossians,  from  the  rapid  and  bril- 
Ipnt  offensive  upon  which  thev  acted  up  to 
the  battle  of  Plevna,  have  fallen  back  on  the 
most  timid  defensive,  and  feel  themselves  dan- 
geirouslv  threatened  on  ev?ry  side.  So 
far  from  attacking  Plevna  again  they  are 
fortifying  their  positions  here  in  the 
strongest  manner,  and  are  evfdently  determined 
to  make  a  desperate  resistance  if  attacked,  but 
for  the'  present  at  least,  not  dreaming  of  taking 
the  offensive.  Reinforcements  are  arriv- 
ing very  slowly.  Although  it  is  known 
that  three  out  of  four  divisions  have  crossed 
the  Danube  since  the  battle  of  Plevna. 
I  have  not  yet  been  able  to  ascertain  where 
they  have  gone,  nor  can  I  see  any  indications 
of  the  Russians  taking  the  offensive  for  a  long 
time ;  yet  the  results  of  not  adopting  a 
vigorous  offensive  after  the  battle  of  Plevna 
will  evidently  be  a  second  campaign ;  a  Win- 
ter passed  in  Bulgaria  and  the  BaUtans,  amid 
snow  and  mud;  a  loss  of  half  the 
Army  by  sickness,  and  the  expenditure  of  mil- 
lions. Russian  public  feeling  is  very  dissatis- 
fied. Newspapers,  while  admitting  the  courace 
of  the  soldiers,  generally  speak  contemptuously 
of  the  Grenerals." 

A  dispatch  from  Shumla  dated  yesterday  an-

paper,  and  the  foregoing  moreover  is  in 
direct  contradiction  of  all  news  from  other 
sources.  The  same  correspondent  states  that 
Gen.  Ignatieff  has  been  ordered  to  leave  the 
Bsssian  Head-tjuarters.

The  correspondent  of  the  Times  at  Belgrade

what  happens  here.  The  Servian  Government 
Inquired  whether  Gen.  Fadyeff  should  receive 
a  command,  but  the  reply  was  in  the  negative." 
The  Times'  Vienna  correspondent  says  it  may 
may  be  stipposed  that  this  rejection  of  FadyeCTs 
services  is  the  consequence  of  Austrian  remon- 
strance to  Russia.  Fadyeff  is  very  inimical  to 
Austria  in  consequence  of  his  known  opinion 
that  the  way  to  Constantinople  lies  through 
Vienna.

TEMPEK  OF  THE  INFLtlENTIAL  CLASS  OP  POLES 
— AGITATION  REGARDED  AS  FATAL  TO 
THE  INTERESTS  OP  POLAND. 

London,  Aug.  28.— The  Vienna  corre- 
spondent of  the  Times  telegraphs  as  follows : 
••■  Very  trustworthy  information  enables  me  to 
state  most  positively  that  int&e  most  influential 
quarters  of  Russian  Poland  any  Poli^  agitation 
or  movement  intended  to  take  advantage  of  the 
difficulties  in  which  Russia  might  find  herself, 
would  be  regarded  as  a  most  fatal  step  to  the  in- 
terests of  Poland.  There  is,  of  course,  a  small  set 
which  has  been  very  active  since  the  Eastern 
codlplication,  and  above  all  since  the 
war  began,  but  it  is  altogether  vininfluen- 
tial.  Those  who  may  really  be  looked  upon  as 
leaders  in  Poland  have  spoken  outplainlyi^  so'as 
to  leave  no  Ulusion  in  the  minds  of  either  the 
Austrian  Poles,  who  have  lately  adopted  a  tone 
very  hostile  to  Rus.-da,  or  of  enthusia.stic  for- 
eigners. The  Poles  in  Russia  trust  te  the  force 
of  circumstances,  which,  they  are  convinced, 
must  bring  about  a  reaction  in  their  favor. 
They  think  themselves  quite  competent  to  di- 
rect their  own  affairs,  and  will  not  aUow  any 
one  else,  not  even  the  Poles  dwelling  outside  of 
Russia,  to  speak  or  act  in  their  name." 


BALTIMOKE  AND  OBIO  RAILROAD. 


THE  TALKED-OF  LOAN  OP  FIVE  MILLION 
DOLLARS— RETICENCE  OP  THE  MANAGE- 
MENT ON  THE  SUBJECT. 

Baltimore,  Aug.  28.— In  regiird  to  the 
reported  negotiation  of  a  loan  in  London  by 
jhe  Baltimcrs  and  Ohio  Railroad  Company,  the 
Americnn  of  this  morning  says:  "A  rumer 
that  the  Baltimore  aad  Ohio  Railroad  Company 
has  succeeded  in  effecting  a  foreign  loan  of 
$5,000,000  on  the  Chicago  Division  has  been 
credited  in  certaia  quarters,  \;ut  it  such  a  loan 
has  been  negotiated  the  executives  of  the  road 
do  not  feel  themselves  at  liberty  to  sanction 
what  they  may  consider  a  prematura  announce- 
ment. Other  repDrtsplace  tfctf'loan  at  $8,000,- 
000,  an  amount  sufficient  to  fund  the  floating 
debt  of  the  company  and  Uave  a  surplus.  If 
the  facts  were  known  it  is  probable  that  the 
announcement  would  prove  unauthorized,  and 
intended, .possibly,  for  speculative  effect-  It  is 
very  likely  that  the  negotiation  of  such  a  sum 
at  the  pre.' oat  time,  if  it  coald  be  secured  on 
liberal  terms,  would  be  acceptable  to  the  com- 
pany, and  in  the  prevailing  state  'of  European 
teehng  regarding  American  railroad  invest- 
ments the  consummation  '  of  such  an  im- 
portant financial  transaction  would  be  of 
ueep  interest  and  prove  a  source  of  much  en- 
C'juragement.  Any  one  acquainted  with  the 
confidences  and  prejudices  animating  the 
sources  of  investment  in  England  at  least 
knows  that  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Rail- 
road Company  is  on  a  fooasg  with  any  of 
the  other  American)  railway  trunk  lines,  and 
possibly  stands  at  a' decided  advantage  in  some 
respects.  The  Chicago  Division,  r n  which  the 
loan  was  to  be  based,  was  built  without  the  con- 
tracting of  any  debt,  and  nothing  but  the  bur- 
den of  poor  relations — like  the  Marietta  Road — 
could  Dear  unfavorably  upon  such  an  invest- 
ment. It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  Directors  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad  Company,  held  six  months  ago,  it  was 
determined  to  endeavor  to  secure  a  loan  of 
$8,000,000  on  the  main  stem,  secured  by  the 
bonds  of  the  Chicago  extension.  Mr.  Garrett, 
the  President  of  the  road,  was  sanguine  at  that 
time  that  the  loan  could  be  negotiafed  at  4  per 
cent.  Since  then  the  Eastern  war  and  other 
ivnforessen  events  have  occurred,  each  with 
some  bearing  on  the  project.  Very  little  doubt 
exists  that  the  visit  of  Jir.  Robert  Garrett  to 
Europe  a  iew  months  since  was  in  reference  to 
this  loan.  If  it  has  been  made,  the  Vice-Presi- 
dents of  the  conipany.  according  to  their  own 
statements,  know  nothing  about  it."

Philadelphia,  Pena.,  Aug.  28. — It  is 
learned  that  the  merchants  who  lost  goods  by 
the  fires  at  EHttsburg,  and  to  whom  CoL  Scott, 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company,  made 
overtures  volunteering  to  take  the  trouble  of 
all  their  suits,  have  determined,  upon  the  ad- 
vice of  counsel,  not  to  accept  Col.  Scoit'sproposi- 
tions,  but  to  env&c  suit  against  the  railroad  com- 
pany. 'This  course  has  been  under  considera- 
tion since  their  recent  intennew  with  the  officials 
of  the"railroad  company,  but  within  the  past  two 
days  has  been  agreed  u|  on.  ThiswilLlead  to  an 
inteitninable  legal  war.  and  as  a  result  the  mer- 
chants and  those  interested  wUl  be  compelled  to 
wait  for  years  for  a  return  of  their  lost  money. 
However,  it  shows  by  their  thus  boldly  "  show-

pany cannot  dictate  terms  to  all  of  the  mer- 
chants here.  ^^^^^

VOLCNTABT  DISBANDMENT  OF  THB  SIXTH 
MARYLAND  REGIMENT  —  DEATH  OF 
ANOTHER  OF  THE  WOUNDED  IN  THE 
RIOT. 

Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  23. — During  the 
recent  strike  on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Rail- 
road the  Sixth  Regiment,  two  companies  of 
which  fired  into  the  rioters  and  did  such  execu- 
tion on  the  evening  of  Friday.  July  20,  was  not 
afterward  called  into  service,  although  two  new 
regiments  and  an  artillery  company  were  en- 
listed and  on  active  duty  for  several  weeks.  In 
the  meantime  it  was  rumored  that  the  Sixth 
Regiment  would  disband,  and  a  morning  paper 
say?:  "A  full  meeting  of  the  oflicers  of 
the  Sixth  Regiment  was  held  last 
evening  at  the  armory,  Col.  Peters  presiding. 
The  determination  to  disband,  as  expressed  at 
a  recent  meeting,  was  reaffirmed.  A  resolution 
was  also  adopted  indorsing  the  course  pnrsued 
bv  Col.  Peters.  Some  time  was  spent  in  leave- 
taking  among  the  officers,  after  which  they 
quietly  separated,  and  the  Sixth  Regiment  as 
a  military  organization  was  at  an  end.  The 
reslenations  will  be  forwarded  to  Adjutant- 
Gen.  Bond  during  the  present  week. 

James  Carey  Williams,  one  of  the  men 
wounded  in  the  riot  at  the  Sixth  Regiment 
Armory  on.  the  evening  of  July  20,  died  this 
inoming.  This  makes  the  eleventh  victim  of 
the  riot,  nine  having  been  kUled  outright,  and 
another,  Thomas  Bond,  having  died  of  his 
wounds  several  days  afterward.

Judge  stated  he  always  declined  to  be  inter-

on  the  article  in  the  Exchange,  said  :  "  I  So  not 
care  to  discuss  or  comment  on  that  article  or 
upon  the  way  in  which  it  was  obtained,  and  I 
WTll  simply  say  that  nothing  I  have  said  to  any

to  Judge  Bradley."

of  an  interview  with  Mr.  Justice  Field,  in  which 
he,  referring  to  the  alleged  opinion  of  Mr.  Jus-

A  HEAVY  RUN  ON  THE  BANK — ^A  STATE-

BANKERS — THE  PRINCIPAL  LOSERS — 
STATEMENT  OP  THE  RESOURCES  AND 
LIABILITIES. 

Spedat  DUpaltA  to  Oc  Hea-Ym-Tt  Timet. 

Chicago,  111.,  Aug.  28.— The  State  Sav- 
ings and  Loan  Institution  of  this  City,  after  the 
close  of  business  hours  to-day  made  an  as- 
signment to  Col.  Abner  Taylor,  and  suspended 
operations.  The  breaking  of  the  St  Louis 
banks  a  month  ago  created  a  scare  among  the 
depositors  of  the  State  Savings  Institution 
here,  and  some  little  uneasiness  among  those  o^ 
other  savings  banks,  and  the  State  had  to  un- 
dergo a  run.  It  paid  out  between  $300,000 
and  $400,000  of  cash  means  '  in  the 
hope  of  abating  the  excitement,  but  the 
alarm  increased,  and  there  was  considerable 
of  a  run.  Then  the  bank  fell  back 
on  the  30  and  60  days*  time  rule,  but  mouey 
was  still  paid  out,  and  there  has  been  a  constant 
drain  on  the  bank  since  July  1.  The  return  flow 
was  very  small.  This  check  to"confidence  ar- 
rested the  deposits  and  dried  up  the  sources  of 
income.  On  July  1  the  half-yearly  interest  on 
the  entire  balance  had  to  be  paid,  which 
amounted  to  about  3  per  cent,  on  perhaps 
$4,000,000.  Up  to  last  Saturday,  Mr.  Spen- 
cer, the  President,  reported  to  bankers 
who  had  asked  Eora  statement  of  the  condition 
of  the  institution,  that  he.  had  paid 
out  in  cash  over  the  counter  over 
$S,000  more  than  had  boen  taken 
in.  and  that  this  outflow  had  taken 
the  great  bulk  of  his  cash  means.  In  order  to 
raise  the  $800,000  as  fast  as  it  was  called  for 
by  depositors,  he  sold  the  greater  portion  of  his 
bonds  and  also  disposed  of  sM*eral  other  classes 
of  sectirities.  He  also  sold  a  niimber  of  notes 
of  the  best  customers.  It  was  rumored  in  bank- 
ing circles  last  Saturdav  niyht  that 
the  State  Savings  only  had  SilOO.OOO  or 
le.ss  on  hand,  and  that  the  liabilities 
outstanding  Vere  in  the  neighborhood  of  $3.- 
000,000,  and  they  having  been  reduced  since 
July  1  to  $  1,000.000.  The  bank  had  lost,  in  de- 
preciation of  real  estate  and  on  other  securities. 
more  than  enough  to  sink  the  entire  capital 
stock  of  $500,U00.  The  bank  bad  loaned  a 
great  deal  of  its  money  to  mechanics  and  the  sal- 
aried class  who  were  trying  to  save  enou;;h  to 
own  a  home.  What  proportion  of  its  funds 
was  Invested  in  this  way  is  not  generally  known, 
but  at  least  one-third  of  its  means  are  locked  up 
in  mortgages  on  city  property,  which  has  so 
depreciated  in  value  as  to  be  at  present  com- 
parativelv  worihles-s. 

On  Saturday  last  Mr.  Spencer,  reported  that 
the  obUgations  of  the  bank  were  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  $3,000,000.  He  w.inted  the  Chi- 
cago banks  to  loan  him  $300,000  on 
such  securities  as  he  •  could  a.ford  to 
let  them  have,  saying  that  with  the 
credit  he  wotild  receive  from  such 
loan  he  could  get  between  $300,000  and  ¥500.- 
000  in  New- York,  and  he  thought  with  these 
$600,000  or  $800,000  he  could  restore  the 
credit  of  the  bank  and  stop  the  run.  But  the  bank- 
ers would  not  accommodate  him.  Mr.  Spencer 
then  went  to  Xew-York,  where  he  now  is.  At 
least  it  is  supposed  he  went  to  New- York  for  the 
purpose  of  raising  funds. 

The  condition  of  the  bank  may  be  gleaned 
by  the  following:

Prom  the  foregoing  something  of  the  coniii-

of  the  most  serious  runs  on  savings 
institutions      this     city     has     ever     known. 

The  depositors  of  ttie  States  were  largely 
working  men.  The  Fidelity  and  other  institu- 
tions which  felt  the  scar*^  somewhat  at  the  time 
of  the  St.  -Louis  troubles  will  no  douLt  be 
besieged. 

A  special  from  Elkhom.  Wis.,  to-night  .=ays  : 
''  The  news  of  the  failure  of  the  State  Savings 
Bank  was  not  received  here  with  much  surprise 
since  it  was  known  that-  0.  D.  .  Speocer 
was  at  the  head  of  that  institution.  The 
old  residents  of  this  place  remember 
Mr.  Spencer.  He  came  here  from  the  East  in 
1853.  He  became  connected  with  the  Elkhom 
Bank,  and  was  its  Ca.shier  until  it  fai'.ed.  It 
was  charged  that  Spencer  h.id  embezzled  the 
funds  of  the  concern,  and  at  the  Mav 
term  of  the  Walworth  County  Court  an  indict- 
ment was  found  by  the  Grand  Jury  charg- 
ing him  with  having,  as  Cashier,  taken 
nearly  $5,000  in  bank  notes  and  gold

Chicago,  HL,  Aug.  28. — Gen.  A.  H.  Terry, 

of  the  United  States  Army,  who  is  en  route  to 

Washington,  left  the  city  this  morning.    Be- 

.Scm  -fininc  however,  he  ]u4  *  long  co&vocMt: 


tion  with  Lieufc-Gen.  Sheridan  iipon  matters 
pertaining  to  the  management  of  the  Indian 
campaigns  ra  the  North-west.  In  regard  to  the 
questiAps  bearing  upon  the  object  of  the  Sitting 
BnllCommission,  of  which  he  is  to  be  a  member, 
the  General  had  comparatively  little  to  say,  but 
what  he  kqew  he  told  with  great  frankness. 
He  denies  that  the  scheme  for  a  commission 
was  attributable  to  him  ;  he  had  nothing  what- 
ever to  do  with  getting  it  up.  When  asked  if 
he  reposed  any  credence  whatever  In  the  report 
that  Sitting  Bull  had  recrossed  the  Canada  line 
with  his  band,  the  General  replied  that  the 
only  advices  he  had  regarding  the  matter  had 
been  furnished  him  by  Gen.  Miles,  and  his  in- 
formation had  heretofore  been  found  very 
trustworthy.  He  had  advices  from  Miles  under 
date  of  the  19th  inst.,  which  represented  that 
Sitting  Bull,  \rith  a  force  of  1.300  warriors, 
was  encountered  south  of  the  line.  The  parties 
who  brought  this  inteUigence  to  Genr  Miles  had 
understiaod  that  Sitting  Bull  had  got  into  a 
difficulty  with  the  British  authorities  and  re- 
crossed  the  boundary  in  high  dudgeon.  His 
band  was  represented  as  being  in  good 
trim  for  traveling  and  fighting.  "Their  horses 
had  recuperated  their  wasted  strength,  and  the 
warriors  had  replenished  their  depleted  stock  of 
ammunition.  'Th'e  General  stated  that  if  Sitting 
Bull  was  discovered  to  be  on  this  side  of  the  line 
he  wo«ld  be  pursued  to  the  bitter  end  by  the 
entire  available  force  of  troops  in  the  Yellow- 
stone country.  Gen.  Terry  says  the  shortest 
wav  to  reach  the  old  Indian,  presuming  him  to 
be  in  the  vicinity  of  Woody  Mountain,' is  to  go 
by  steamer  to  old  Port  Peck,  at^d  thence  into 
British  America.  He  does  not  believe  it  will  be 
safe  for  the  commissibn  to  undertake  the  trip 
without  a  large  escort  No  such  escort  can  be 
spared  from  the  field  just  now.  He  does  not  see 
how  more  than  200  men  can  be  spared. 


FURTHER  PARTICULARS  OP  THB  SURPRISE 
OF  THE  HELENA  PARTY. 

Helena,  Montana,  .A.ug.  28. — A  Herald 
special  from  Bosemaq,  Montana,  dated  to-day 
says :  "  The  Helena  pa^rty  arrived  at  Mammoth 
Springs  at  10  A.  M.  yesterday,  except  Kenick 
and  Fowler,  who  are  still  missing.  A.  J. 
Weikert  is  wounded  In  the  shoulder  slight- 
ly, and  J.  Stuart  in,  the  side  and  ankle, 
not  seriously.  The  Indians  surround 
their  camp  six  miles,  above  Mud  Volcano, 
taking  xheiu  completely  by  surprise.  The  In- 
dians did  not  pursue  whin  the  party  fled.  When 
Kenick  was  last  teen  he, was  ninniug  close  to 
timber.  Mrs.  Cowan's  husband  was  shot  in  her 
arms.  He  is  the  onlyope  of  the  Radersburg 
party  known  to  be  killed.  The  balance  may 
have  escaped.  It  is  reported  that  Indians  were 
on  Gardner's  River  yestetday." 

ViBGisiA  City,  Montai^a,  Aug.  28.— The  In- 
dians reported  by  Lieut.  Schofield  as  having 
gone  back  under  Joseph  to  fight  Gen.  Howard 
were  on  a  horse-stealing  expedition.  They 
came  within  25  miles  of  this  place  in  Madison 
Valley,  on  the  night  of  the2oth.  and  drove  off 
a  herd  of  over  300  horse*  in  the  direction  of

;        STILL  DUE  MB.    WIGGIN. 

i'  Sp^al  DispatrJi  to  Itif  ^'nB.jrorh  Tlra*t. 

Habtfoed,  Conn.,  Auj.  23. — Almost 
every  week  there  are  some  ne»  disclosures  con- 
cemicg  the  internal  management  cf  the  Charter 
Oak  Life  Insurance  Company  tmder  the  Fnrber 
administration.  The  latest  thing  reported  is  a 
liability  still  existing  which  wa^  not  discovered 
either  by  the  special  insuranc«  commission  or 
the  committee  of  life  insurance' experts,  and,  so 
far  as  can  be  learned,  was  notaknown  to  the 
Insurance  Department  of  th«  State.  This 
liability  is  in  the  form  of  two  contracts 
made  by  the  old  Walkley  management,  with 
Mr.  Wiggin  as  President  and  .Mr.  White  as 
Treasurer,  under  the  new  administration  which 
succeeded  Walkley  ff  al.  The.se  contracts  were 
Jo  run  Ave  years,  and  pledged  ^o  the  officers 
Tiamed  a  stated  salary  of  $5, 000. a  year,  and  a 
commission  of  2^2  per  cent  on  all  premium  re- 
ceipts from  both^d  and  new  business.  It  is  a 
question  whether  the  one  held  by  Mr.  White  is 
of  anv  legal  force,  because  it  was  ^lade  while  he 
WHS  yet  Vice-President  of  the  company  bv  the 
President — an  arrangement  between  two  ofiicer? 
ratified  by  a  board  of  which  both  were  mem- 
bers. The  contract  with  Wigsrin  was  made  as  a 
condition  precedent  to  his  taking  hold  of  the 
company,  and  was  peculiar  in  some  respects.  It 
provided  for  his  salary  and  commission,  but  did 
not  fix  his  status  in  the  company,  that  being  left 
to  the  Board  of  Directors,  by  wnom  he  was  sub- 
sequently elected  President,  and  received  a  sal- 
ary of  $12,000  a  year.  It  is  now  claimed  that 
of  "this  salary  only  .$5,000  w;j^  drawn  on  ^alarJ' 
account  the  balance  of  $7,000  being 
on  account  of  commissions.  He  was  in 
the  company  20  months,  and  it  is 
estimated  that  his  commissions  under  the  con- 
tract amount  to  about  $75,000.  leaving  about 
$65,000  as  still  due  him.  taking  into  no  account 
the  prospective  value  of  the  contract  for  the 
whole  five  years  it  hai  to  mo.  Efforts  are  in 
progress  to  m^^e  a  settlement,  and  it  is  possible 
tiiat  a  lawsuit  may  result.  Mr.  Wiggin  thinks 
he  has  as  good  a  claim  against  the  company  as 
Mr.  Furbe'r  had  under  the  contract  already  "can- 
celed for  a  valuable  consideration;  but  that  re- 
mains to  be  seen.  The  precise  terms  of  set.- 
tlement  with  Furber  under  his  contract  and 
sale  of  stock  in  connection  with  the  recent 
negotiations  and  new  management  have  so  far 
been  carefullv  concealed,  excepting  as  The 
Times'  dispatches  have  indicated  their  general 
character.  Now  that  it  is  learned  for  the  first 
time  that  other  contracts  are  in  existence  it 
would  seem  to  be  advisable  to  have  the  whole 
matter  officially  promulgated,  and  surprise  is 
expressed  that  the  Insurance  -  Department  does 
not  anticipate  the  work  of  the  special  commis- 
sion by  calling  for  the  documents  and  putting 
them  on  file  where  they  will  be  accessible  to  the 
pre.ss  'and  public.  Their  publication  in  full 
would  at  least  stop  rumors  which  are  having  a 
damaging  effect  upon  personal  and  business 
reputations  and  are  doing  harm  to  the  company, 
which  needs  now  the  best  direction  to  save  it. 
A  full  publication  would  give  opportunity  for 
satisfactory  explanations,  perhaps,  even  whore 
the  text  of  the  contract  has  a  bad  look.

Matthews,  of  New-York,  was  here  to-day  in 
search  of  facts  pertaining  to  H.  J.  Furber's 
connection  with  the  Charter  Oak  Company. 
He  denounces  Furber  as  having,  in  the  real

mortgage  of  $30,000  was  obtained  to 
swell  the  assets  of  the  company,  got 
the  best  of  him  to  the  amount  of 
$500,000.  Matthews'  moTStaents  here 
were  very  quiet,  though  whffever  he  en- 
gaged in  conversation  his  denunciations  of  Fur- 
ber were  very  bitter.  Now  that  he  is  disposed 
to  talk,  it  gives  importance  to  the  fact  that  both 
Mr.  Wigein.  late  President,  and  Mr.  White,  late 
Treasurer  of  the  Charter  Oak,  speak  in  strong 
terms  of  Fnrber  as  having  *' gone  back"oii

WASHrNQTON,  Aug,  -28. — A  Washington 
paper,  a  day  or  two  ago,  published  a  statement 
that  Secretary  McOrary  was  to  be  a  candidate 
for  the  Senate  before  the  next  Iowa  Legislature, 
to  succeed  Senator  Allison,  and  that  he  intended 
to  leave  the  Cabinet  soon  for  the  reason  that  he 
is  not  in  accord  with  the  President 
in  matters  .  of  policy.  This  statement 
has  been  telegraphed  over  the  country, 
and  Secretary  McCrary  desires  the  fullest  denial 
made.  He  is  not  a  candidate  for  the  United 
States  Senate.  He  is  very  well  satisfied  with 
his  position  at  the  head  of  the  War  Department, 
and  is  heartily  in  accord  with  the  President  in 
the  general  features  of  his  policy.  Although 
the  Secretary  differed  in  judgment  from  the 
President  in  regard  to  some  matters  at  the  out- 
set, he  considers  that  aU  the  good  that  can  come 
from  his  policy  depends  upon  the  fullest  ac-

which  he  hopes  will  be  given.

with  zeal  in  the  apprehension.  Gen.  Benevides 
has  dismissed  two  Captains  of  local  troops  for

SEEKING  EMPLOYMENT  IN  ENGLAND." 

NO  CHANCE  FOE  FOREIGN  WORKMEN  THERE 
UNLESS  THEY  GO  UNDER  CONTRACT — A 
WARNING  FROM  THE  UNITED  STATBS^X- 
SUL  AT  LIVERPOOL.  / 

Washington,  Aug.  28. — ^A  dispatch  has 
been  received  at  the  State  Department  from  the 
United  States  Consul  at  Liverpool  referring  to 
the  fact  that  35  joinera  have  recently  landed  at 
that  port  for  Manchester  under  a  contract  to 
workat  their  trades  for  a  given  number  of 
months.  These  men  were  brought  over  to  take 
the  places  of  the  English  joiners  who  were  on  a 
strike  for  higher  wages.  Beferriflg  to  the 
landing  of  American  mechanica  uudera  con- 
tract, and  the  published  "statements  in  some 
American  newspapers  that  fewer  men  are  out 
of  employment  in  England  than  in  the 
United  States,  the  Consul  solemnly  warns 
our  mechanics  against  the  danger  of 
putting  these  statements  to  the  test. 
These  reports  have  induced  many  mechanics  to 
leave  the  country  for  the  purpose  of  bettering 
their  condition,  and  the  result  has  been  a  large 
amount  of  steering  and  destitution.  To  avoid 
any  further  augmentation  of  their  suffering,  the 
Consul  requests  that  public  warning  be  ^iveu  to 
American  workmen  not  to  go  to  England  unless 
under  positive-contract.  Able-bodied  American 
workmen  are  daily  calling  upon  the  Con.«ulate 
for  reUef.  These  men  are  greatly  disappointed 
when  they  learn  that  Constus  have  no  funds  for 
such  1  elief  purposes.  Under  these  circumstances 
the  Consul  deems  it  his  duty  to  inform  the  State 
Department  that  neither  skilled  nor  unslcilled 
workmen  who  come  from  abroad  cau  find  em- 
ployment in  England.  '  -

OBSTRUCTION  OF  THE  MAILS. 

Washington,  Aug.  28.— The  Post  Office 
Department  has  reports '  of  arrests  by  special 
agents  of  a  number  of  leading  •'  strikers,"  for 
obstructing  and  delaying  the  mails  upon  the 
Pennsylvania,  New-Y'ork,  and  Western  Rail- 
roads. The  conviction  of  nine  ringleaders  has 
been  secured  in  the  United  States  Circuit  Court 
at  Philadelphia,  sentence  to  be  pronounced  next 
Saturday.  Judge  Cadwallader  held  upon  the 
trial  that*  the  defense  made  by  the  strikers  that 
they  offered  no  objectdoii  to  the  passage  of  the 
locomotive  and  mail  car;  was  not  a  mitigating 
circumstance,  th^  view  being  that,  as  the  lawful 
contract  was  for  the  transp<irtation  of  the  mails 
upon  passenger  trains,  any  interference  with 
the  trains  upon  which  mails  were  carried  ren- 
dered the  parties  liable.  Judge  Drummond  has 
made  the  same  ruling  at  Chicago.  So  it  is  setr 
tied  that  the  strikers  have  rendered  then^elves 
liable  to  prosecution  in  the  United  States 
Courts  In  all  cases  where  they  Interfered  with 
the  regtilar  running  of  passenger  mail  trains.

460  77. 

The  President  to-day  eommissioned  the 
following  Postmasters :  William  Firth  at  Mo- 
berly.  Mo.,  and  Cyrus  J.  Pry  at  Great  Bend, 
Kan.

nue nuger  for  the  District  of  South  Carolina,

for.  the  Fourth  Iowa  District. 

Mr.  Edwin  L.  Stanton,  son  of  the  late 
Secretary  Stanton,  who  has  been  siek  in  this 
city  for  some  time  past,  is  to-day  very  low.  his 
disease  having  I«£st  night  taken  a  still  more  un- 
favorable turn. 

The  Cabinet  meeting  to-day  adjourned 
before  2  o'clock,  and  but  few  matters 
were  considered.  There  was  some  talk  in  re- 
gard to  changes  in  the  New- York  Custom-house 
and  reforms  in  that '  institution,  but  nothing 
was  determined  upon.  ^  '■ 

By  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
Trea.?ury.  $1,000,000  in  gold  will  be  sold  by 
the  Assis^nt  Treasurer  in  New- York  on  Sat- 
urday, at:JRK>n,  to  redeem  United  States  notes 
to  be  retired  by  reason  of  the  issue  of  national 
bank  notes.  The  amount  of  national  bank  cur- 
rency issued  during  the  present  month  is  $1,- 
301,640. 

The  United  States  Consul  at  Lisbon  has 
informed  the  Department  of  State  that  the  ports 
of  the  United  States  heretofore  considered  as 
infected  with  or  suspected  of  yellow-fever  are 
declared  healthy,  and  vessels  arriving  there- 
from at  any  of  the  ports  of  Portugal  will  not  be 
subject  to  quarantine.  The  ports  thus  relieved 
are  New-Orleans  and  the  other  ports  of  Louis- 
iana. 

Senator  Cockrell  has  addressed  a  letter  to 
the  Treasuij  Department  regarding  claims  now 
pending  before  that  department  for  the  use  and 
occupation  of  private  propertv,  .such  as  houses, 
farms,  inclosures,  churches,  ic,  by  the  Union 
Army  during  the  reb«^lHon.  He  desires  the  de- 
partment to  .*<elect  a  goo<i  officer  and  send  him 
to  Missouri  to  investigate  such  claims. 

The  Government  paper  mills  at  Glen 
Mills,  Penn.,  will  bo  closed  on  the  Istof  Sei:^ 
tember.  The  stock  of  paper  now  on  hand  for 
bank  note  and  internal  revenue  purposes  is  so 
large  that  an  additional  supply  -will  not  be 
needed  for  a  year.  A  committee  of  Trea.sury 
clerks  is  now  superintending  the  transfer  of 
the  paper  from  the  mills  to  Washington. 

The  following  were  the  balances  in  the 
Trea.<niry  at  the  close  of  business  to-dav:

$57,520,000;  coin,  (inclu.ling  $38,42l>,500 
in  coin  certificates.)  $102.03!>.76(>  Ki.;  out- 
standing legal  tenders,  $350,094,220. 

It  can  be  authoritatively  stated  that  thp 
President  has  no  intention  of  revoking  his 
proclamation  convening  Congress  in  extra  ses- 
sion on  the  1 5th  of  Octotx-r.  The  reports  in 
regard  to  having  no  extra  session  were  referred 
to  in  the  Cabinet  meeting  to-day,  but" the  P*resi- 
dent  and' all  the  Cabinet  officers'  are  unanimous 
in  the  opinion  that  (2-gKgre»s  should  nfeet  on 
the  15th  of  October,  and  the  p^clamation  con- 
vening the  session  on  that  day  will  not  be  re- 
voked. ^ 

The  OoiiBiissioner  of  Internal  Revenue 
has  received  notice  of  the  arrest  of  Deputy 
Marshal  William  H.  Deaver.  United  States  Com- 
missioner Joseph  H.  Green,  and  his  son  J.  \. 
Green,  at  Statesvllle,  N.  C.  for  presenting  al- 
leged fraudulent  vouchers  for  awards  on  account 
of  giving  information  for  the  arrest  of  criminal-:. 
ThejCommissioner  has  forwarded  to  the  United 
Stafe  Attorney  in  that  district  all  papers  bear- 
ing on  the  case  on  file  in  his  office,  to  be  u-sed  in 
the  prosecution  of  the  parties  arrested. 

It  is  said  at  the  office  of  the  Cliief  Engineer 
that  the  statement  as  to  the  irregularities  in  the 
office  of  Col.  Blunt,  engineer  in  charge  of  the 
eovemment  works  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  ifliiuch 
exaggerated.  It  is  claimed^that  the  trouble  was 
caused  by  misplaced  confidence  in  a  clerk,  and 
the  amount  involved  is  somV  hundreds  of  dol- 
lars, and  not  Several  theunand,  as  stated.  The 
visit  of  Inspector-General  Davis  to  Buffalo  was 
at  the  urgent  request  of  CoL  Blunt.  The  Chief 
of  Engineers  has  every  confidence  in  Col.  Blunt, 
who  is  an  old  Army  officer,  and  it  is  not  fliought 
that  he  has  been  guilty  of  any  improper 
conduct 

Secretary  Sherman  has  as  yet  taken  no 
action  on  ttie  report  of  the  Jay  Committee  upon 
the  weighers  and  gaugers  at  the  New-York  Cn.«- 
tom-houae.  The  -Secretary  will  afford  a  hear- 
ing to  several  parties  who  -protest  against  the 
statements  and  conclusions  of  the  report  Spe- 
cial agents  of  the  Customs  who  have  recently 
investigated  the  matter  report  numerous  in- 
stances of  favoritism  in  omitting  to  examine 
baggage  arriving  at  New- York  from  foreign 
ports.  The  Treasury  Department  has  now  un- 
der consideration  a  circular  on  the  subject,  in 
which  Collectors  of  Customs  will  be  directed  to 
permit  no  foreign  baggage  arriving  from  for- 
eign ports  to  be  admitted  without  examination. 

ABANDONMENT  OF  A  VESSEL. 
Washington,  Aug.  28. — The  United 
States  Consul  at  Corunna,  Spain,  has  informed 
the  Department  of  State  that  the  Spanish  mer- 
chant steamer  Colon  fell  in  with  the  John  W. 
Weld,  of  Waldoboro,  Me.,  a  large  three-masted 
schooner,  near  Cape  Finisterre,  and  towed  her 
into  the  i>ort  of  Ferrol.  Thete  was  not  a  soul 
on  board,  nor  were  any  papers  found  that 
could  give  a  clue  to  the  owner's  name.  The 
Consul,  however,  ascertained  that  the  owners  of 
the  schooner  are  A.  A.  Reed  &  Co.,  of  Waldo- 
boro, Me.,  and  that  the  cargo  belong  to  British 
subjects.  The  authorities  of  Ferrol  have  taken 
po.ssosslon  of  the  vessel,  and  are  having  her 
cargo  discharged.

Baltimore,  Mil.,  Aug.  28. — The  arrest 
was  effected  In  this  city  to-day,  by  United  States 
Deputy  Marshal  Krager,  of  Charles  E.  Gette- 
lelch,  Deputy  Collector  of  Customs  at  Norfolk, 
Va.,  on  the  charge  of  defrauding  the  Govern- 
ment The  accused  was  taken  in  custody  at  his 
residence,  in  Baltimore,  and  hurried  before 
United  States  Commis-sioner  Rogers,  who  com- 
mitted him  to  jail  for  a  hearing  in  default  of 
$5,000  bail.  -There  was  no  examination, 
and  the  Government  officials  are^  jising 
every  effort  to  keep  the  matter  private. 
Details  are  refused  for  publication,  but  it  has 
leaked  ou]t  that  there  have  been  very  serious  ir- 
regularities disclosed  in  the  management  of  the 
Norfolk  CUBtom-house,  and  that  there  will 
probably  be  other  arrests  made,  for  which 
special  agents  of  the  Treasury  Department  are 
hunting  up  evidence.  The  specific  charge 
named  in  the  waraant  against  Getteleich  is  that 
of  being  a  publjc  officer  and  receiving  putjUc 
moneys  in  that  capacity,  and  failing  to  aobonht 
for  the  same.  V  He  claims  residence  inJBaltfr

He  has  been  in  Government  service  2S  years, 
and,  until  his  appointment  to  Norfotfe^yas  fot-

Saratoga.  N..'Y.,  Aug.  28. — The  gren 
single-scnll  match  for  $800  and  the  champion' 
ship  of  America,  between  what  are  withool 
doubt  the  three  best  oarsmen  in  the  country, 
took  place  promptly  as  advertised  on  the  lak« 
this  morning,  and  was  won  easily  by  Courtesy 
In  time  which  is  within  a  quarter  of  a  second  oi 
the  fastest  on  record.  -  A  prettier  ^  contest 
could  not  be  wished  for.  ThemOming,open<)d  ^ 
bright  and  warm.  The  blue-' of  the  sky  ■«-»« 
broken  with  but  a  few  whit©  fleecy  clouds.  A. 
gentle  breeze  came  from  the  south-west  in* 
stirred  up  the  water  of  the  lake  so  that  at  9 
o'clock,  when  the  early  sight-seors  began  tc 
gather  oh  the  shores,  it  was  quite  lumpy.  From 
that  time,  however,  it  began  to  die  out-,  And  the 
waves  gradually  subsided,  until,  ,•  at  the 
time  tie  race  was  rowed,  there,* was  no 
more  ^than  enough  of  a  ripple  left 
to  prevent  the  fulfillment  of  my  prediction  that 
the  fastest  time  on  record  would  be  made.  Whei^ 
Riley  scored  his  remarkable  time  of  20m.  47i4«. 
on  Greenwood  Lake,  the  surface  of  that  sheet  of 
water  was  as  smooth  as  a  polished  mirror.  The 
water  here  to-day  wa.sat  lea.st  30  seconds  slower, 
and  Courtney  could  undoubtedly  have  done  the 
distance  several  seconds  faster  had  he  been 
pressed  Or  so- chosen.  The  general  exp.  •.■<sion 
here  last  evening  was  that  the  odds  gi  een  or 
Courtney  in  ^he  pools  sold  during  the  aftemoor 
were  too  great,  and  it  was  expected  that  th< 
Boston  men  who  were  to  arrive  this  morning 
would  run  Plaisted  up  to  a  more  agreeable  place 
in  the  betting,  but  the  event  did  not  prove  tb< 
correctness  of  the  anticipation.  Pool-selling  b^ 
gan  on  the  bank  below  Moon's  at  9  o'clock,  and 
continued  actively  until  the  start  The  follow, 
ing  pools,  taken  at  random,  will  give  an  idea  of 
the  public  appreciation  of  the  ■  men> before,  the

The  attendance  was  very  large,  the  lowest  e^ 
timate  being  that  fully  10.000  persons  -wit- 
nessed the  contest.  From  •  9  o'clock  the  drive 
to  the  lake  -was  a  perpetual  procession  of  -vehi. 
cles  four  and  five  deep.  All  sorts  were  repre- 
sented, from  the  stylish  liveried  barouche  down 
through  the  various  grades  of  private  and  hired 
carriages  and  buggies,  to  the  countrified  Sara- 
toga stage  jammed  to  overflowing  at  50  c^nts  a 
head,  and  the  dilapidated  farm  wagon,  with 
rough,  tinplaned  boards  for  seats.  Himdreds  oj^ 
people  from  the  vicinity  walked  in  their  shirt., 
sleeves  along  the  dusty  .pathway.  The  suni 
poured  down  broiling  hot.  but  they -did  not  seem, 
to  mind  it.  A .  special  train  c(f  - 13  cars 
arrived  hero  from  Buffalo  atj|V7:15  this 
morning.  It*  passed  through  the  region 
inhabited  by  Caurtney's  friends  and  picked  up 
here  and  there—a-  large  delegation.  Another 
special  of  l2  cars  from  Albany  and  Troy  brought 
a  reinforcement  of  New-Yorkers  and  others 
interested  in  the 'success  of  KUey.  Boston's 
special  contribution  of  Plaistcd's  backers  filled 
six  cars.  Nearly*everjbody  from  the  hotels 
here  went  to  see  therace.  The  ladies  seemed  to 
take  as  much  interest  in. the  affair  as  their 
hnsbauds  and  sweethearts  and  the  result  was  a 
vtry  brilliant  assemblage-  The  principal  place 
of  gathering  was  on  the  slope  I)clow  Moon's^ 
opposite  which  •  the  stakes  of  the  stan 
and  finish  weretdriven.  This  was  fairly 
black  with  the  crowd.  Moon's  grand 
stand  was  well  patronized,  and  groups  were 
scattered  along  the  banks  on  either  side  of  the 
course  as  far  as  Point  Breeze.  Above  that  there 
were  very  few.  The  bridge  creaked  under  its 
burden.  Numerous  small  boats  laden  almost  to 
the  water's  edge,  and  many  singlc-oaiyd  shell 
boats  were  massed  between  the  bridge  and  the 
stakes,  -with  a  few  strung,  out  alon^  the  banlts 
on  each  side  of  the  course.  '  Half  a  dozen  barges 
anchored  in  the  stream  .  outside  the  starting 
point  did  a  good  business.  There  were  four 
steam  yachts  on  the  water. :  One  chartered  by, 
Mr.  Morrissey  and  friends  took  up  its  position, 
just  below  the  turning  stakes,  and  followed  the 
oarsmen  in.  The  press  boat  came  to  about  mid-^ 
way  of  the  course,  and  did  likewise  after  aUow>. 
ing  the  shells  to  get  by  on  the  home  stretci.-" 
The  referee's  boat,  a  verj-  fast  little  black 
steam.er,  remained  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  starting  point  busily '  making  ready.  A 
fourth  steam  yacht  belonginc  to  Mr.  Frank  Les- 
lie, was  moored  at  the  wharf  with  William 
H.  Vanderbiit  and  party  on  board. ^"•itumerous 
venders  of  lager  ■  bier,  lemonade,  sandwiches, 
and  pie  had  temporary  Ixwths  on  the  road  and 
under  the  trees  below  Moon's,  and  there  was  one 
man  with  prize  envelopes,  and  anotheri 
with  a  sort  of  astronomical  game.  These  two 
were  the  only  traps  for  the  ,  unwary  visible  at 
^e  course.  The  best  of  order  prevailed.  AU 
the  arrangements  were  excellent,  and  were  ad- 
mirably carried  out  On  the  long  wharf  w'as  a 
frame  on  which  were  hoisted  from  time  to  tirne  the 
positions  of  the  men  at  the  various  inter rals  of 
the  race.  This  was  in  charge  of  L. 
C.  Cramer,  ci"l  engineer,  who  watched 
the  contest  through  an  instrument  ■mounted 
and  shaped  like  a  theodolite.  The  several  an- 
nouncements were  loudly  cheered,  especially, 
when  the  advantaco  was  with  Courtney,  wh<>< 
appeared  to  be  a  prime  favorite  with  the  majox^i 
ity  of  the  spectators.  Capt.  William  B.  CurijaJ 
of  Chicago,  a  famous  athlete  and  boating  nian^f 
acted  as  refcr«-e.  /E.  S.  Foster  was  judge  at  the  ^ 
finish,  Stcphen-fStinn  was  time-keeper  at  the 
finish,  and  Waters,  the  paper-boat  builder,  and 
Edward  Plummer,  of  the  Sportomon,  too^  the 
time  of  the  quarters,  halves,  and  the  turn,  on 
the  referee's  boat  On  the  ISEter  boat,  in  addi- 
tion to  those  named,  there  were  two  friends  of 
each  of  the  contestants,  placed  there  to  see  taic 
play. 

At  11:15  o'clock  the  first  gun  to  make  ready 
was  fired  from  the  bow  of  the  press  boat  Piais- 
ted  paddled  out  into  line  first  and  was  roundly 
cheered.  He  was'foUowed  in  a  few  mintUes  by 
Courtney,  whose  greeting  made  the  very  treet 
tremble.  Riley  appeared  almost  immediately 
afterward,  and  was  also  applauded.  ,  Conrtaer 
and  Plaisted  wore  white  armless  shirts,  irhile 
Riley  was  stripped  to  the  waist  Courtney  and 
Riley  had  short  blue  drawers,  and  Plaisted  red 
ones.  All  wore  sknll-caps,  Courtney  blue  and 
white,  Biley  red  and  black,  and  Plijsted  plain 
white.  All  three  looked  to  be  in  superb 
condition — Courtliey,  especially,  showing  np' 
magniileently  when  stripped.  Then  was  no 
bother  or  deby' whatever.  The  men  qoieay 
took  the  poaitiona  they  drew  -ihe  other  day,  ' 
Courtney  inside,  oslhe  west,  Paisted  next,  aad 
Biley  outside.  At  11:29  the  word  go  wa< 
given,  and  all  'three  sets  of  oars  tore  thrao^

It  the  rate  of  38  strokes  to  the  minnte,  and 
the  others  40  each.  The  excitement  among 
the  spectators  found  Tent  in  a  ]0Dd  mnrmnr  of 
admiration  and  a  succession  of  shouts  of  en- 
coorageraent,  and  a  general  scramble  was  made 
for  the  edge  of  the  water  for  the  purpose  of  ob- 
taining a  better  view  of  the  struggle.  The  ac- 
tion of  the  three  men  was  superb.  -ITo  fault 
conid  be  found  with  either.  They  slid  fbr- 
ward  crenly,  caught  the  water  wHh  a  tremen- 
Oons  grip  that  shot  their  boata  ahead  like]  ar- 
rows, feathered  gracefully,  and  swung  back 
without  less  of  the  most  imperceptible  portion 
oftime.  It  was  the  perfection  of  scientific  row- 
ing. Biley  and  Plaisted  made  orer  toward  the 
east  shore  close  together,  while  Court- 
nej  kep£  more  in  the  middle  of  the 
stream,  and  qnite  -  a  distance  apart 
from  his  competitors.  Plaisted  gradually 
forged  to  the  front,  until  at  the  quarter  he  was 
more  than  a  length  ahead  of  Riley,  who  had 
pained  between  one  and  a  half  and  two  lengths 
on  Courtney.  The  latter"s  stroke  had  frilen 
to  36  per  minnte,  while  the  others  still  kept  ut> 
rheir  40  gait;-  Notwithstanding  this,  in  the  next 
tliiarter  uf  a  mile  Courtney  had  crept  up  on  and 
vone  past  both  Plaisted  and  Biley,  and  at  the 
iialt'  was  half  a  leneth  in  front  of  the  former, 
who  still  had  a  clearlength  the  advantage  of  the 
latter.  The  time  of  the  half  mile  was  3m.  388. 
There  was  as  yet  no  Tariation  in  ^he  stroke. 
Just  after  passing  the  half-mile  ilag  Plaisted 
Twrned  to  the  east  and  crossed  directlv  in  front 
nt  Uiley.  giving  him  Ills  wash  and  bothering 
him  considerably.  At  the  same  time  he  tackled 
t'ourtney,  and  before  three-quarters  were-possed 
had  gone  by  him,  and  once  more  assumed  the 
lead.  The  pace  against  the  wind  had  begun 
to  tell  on  all  three,  and  they  now  settled 
down  to  a  longer  and  slower  stroke, 
Hiich,  however,  continuing .  to  poll  all 
he  knew  how.  Courtney  was  rowing 
.'{5  to  the  minute  ;  Plaisted.  32,  and  Riley,  33. 
At  the  mile  Plaisted  still  had  a  lead  of  over  a 
quarter  of  a  length  on  the  others,  RUer  mean- 
while having  spurted  and  closed  the  daylight 
b-tween  himself  and  Courtney,  who  had 
«tr;nni-d  the  muscles  of  his  right  arm,  and  had 
bt?en  compelled  to  go  easy  to  recover.  The 
time  "f  the  mile  was  7ra.  17s.  Riley,  contin- 
iiin;;  his  spurt,  drew  up  on  Plaisted,  and  the  two 
l^ats  being  close  together,  there  seemed  great 
ilanijer  of  a  foul,  but  Plaisted  ^t  out 
of  the  way  in  time.  The  diversion 
pave  Courtney,  who  was  himself  again,  a 
ihance,  which  he  improved,  to  forge  to  the 
front.  .Tiist  before  reaching  the  tuiriing  stakes 
— which  were  marked  by  three  little  flags  sta- 
tioned at  a  distance  of  about  150  feet  apart — 
H  mile    and  a  half  from   the   starting  point, 

•  'ourtney  stopped  rowing  and  turned  around  to 
look  for  his  Hag.  This  lost  him  a  stroke, 
and  Riley  whirled  al)Out  first  in  10m.  39s.. 
Courtney  following  close  after,  with  Plaisted 
right  on' top  of  him.  Courtney  at  once  shot  to 
the  front  and  Plaisted  hurried  after  him.  Biley, 
v-ho  set-raed  unable  to  get  straight  as  quick  as 
The  others,  losing  ground.  He  at  once  put  on  a 
terrific  spurt,  however,  and  in  the  next  quarter 
«!  a  mile  had  passed  Plaisted  by  several  yards 
of  clear  water  and  was  rapidly  closing  mx 
Cqimney. 

Suddenly  Plaisted  began  to  wabble  furiously. 
He  save  two  or  three  spasmodic  strokes,  and, 
finally,  before  reaching  the  two-mile  flag, 
dropped  his  head  forward,  and  stopped  rowing 
altogether.  The  referee's  boat  steamed  up  to 
him,  and  he  was  asked  what  was  the  matter. 
He  answered  that  he  was  taken  with  cramps  in 
the  stomach.  He  was  asked  if  he  was  able  to 
(.ft  ashore.  He  replied  in  the  affirmative,  and 
the  steamer  went  on.  Courtney  was  now 
pulling  in  a  moderate  manner  that  drew  forth 
^]Kluts  of  admiration  from  the  passeneers  on 
t  !je  steam  yachts.  His  broad  chest  and  brown 
kni»tte<l  arms  swung  back  and  forth  with  the 
rfijiilariry  of  a  pendulum,   and  every  time  he 

•  aught  tlie  water  his  oar-blades  bent  backward 
in  semicircles.  Riley  was  rowing  nervously, 
l>ut  it  was  evidently  a  case  of  sheer  pluck  on 
lii'  part,  for  he '  looked  badly  piunped. 
His  sTeerinjc  was  wild,  too,  and  several 
tiiues  he  glanced  over  his  shoulder  at  Courtney, 
and  at  the  home  stakes,  which  must  have 
stremed  very  far  away.  At  the  two  miles, 
^■hich  was  made  in  13m.  45%,s.  Courtney 
hal  a  half  a  length  the  advantage.  Riley 
i-losed  his  teeth  and  made  a  desperate  effort,  but 
T-;,  no  avail.  Prom  this  on  Courtney,  by  the  aid 
uf  a  few  short  spurts,  drew  rapidly  away-  Twice 
before  reaching  the  finish,  deceived  by  the 
murmurs  of  the  crowd  on  shore,  he  stopped 
rowini:  and  turned  himself  around  in  search  of 
The  stakes.  He  glided  past  them  finely  an  easy 
winnwer  by  five  lengths  in- 20m.  40  34s. 

Instantly  a  tremendous  shout  went  up  from 
the  multitude  on  shore,  and  cheer  after  cheer 
was  given  with  a  will.  Hats  were  thrown  in 
air.  thousuntb^of  handkerchiefs  fluttered,  and 
The  whistles  uf  the  steamers  aggravated  the  din. 
( 'otirtney  quietly  pulled  towanl  the  bank,  the 
crowd  Tumbliusrover  each  other  In  their  efforts 
T-j  follow  in  the  direction  ho'  was  going. 
A  lon'^  siring  of  small  boys  ."plashed 
throuu-h  shallow  water  after  the  shell, 
v.nd  STirrounded  it  when  it  halted  opoosite 
ilu?  Old  Yale  boat-hoiise,  which  the  champion 
}:us  used  since.he  came  here.  One  enthuMastic 
jimn  pressed  forward  through  the  throng  and 
wanted  to  lift  the  victor  out  of  the    boat  bodily. 

•  VmrtBfy  waved  him  away,  saying.  "No,  jti'st 
let  me  alone,  please  ;  I'll  get  out  myself,"  which 
liH  lii.l.  He  wiui  apparently  a.^  fresh  as  before 
he  st.'irted.  and  spoke  without  the  slightest 
jivTnptom  of  distre.ts.  The  only  evidence  of 
the  ordeal  through  whicji  he  had  passed 
was  Tiie  profuse  perspiration,  which  gave 
liim  the  appearance  of  having  come 
4Mit  of  a  bath.  Riley  pulled  home, 
his  time  being  given  as  21m.  lO^s.  He  stopped 
short  at  the  flnLshing  stroke,  gave  a  regretful 
glance  toward  his  successful  rival,  and,  after 
mopping  his  head  plentifully  with  water  from 
the  lake^  tunied  about  und  rowed  slowly  to  his 
quarters.  The  crowd  fallowed  Courtney  Into 
the  hoat-honse  still  cheering,  and  filled  it  so 
full  they  had  to  be  driven  out.  "When  the  victor 
had  dressed  ho  walked  briskly  up  the  steep  hill 
nuToiinde*!  by  a  shouting  mnltituiio.  At  the 
■top  everrbmly  wanted  tc*  shake  bands  with  him, 
and  tor  an  hour  the  corridors  in  the  hotel  were 
impassable.  .\t  length  relief  came  in  the  shape 
oi  a  message  that  the  ladies  wanted  to  see  him. 

There  is  a  great  deal  of  talk  this  evening 
ahouc  Plaisted's  part  in  the  contest.  His  nu- 
m*-roas  hackers  in  the  pools  are  evidently  highly 
dissatisfied  at  the  way  in  which  their  money  w^as 
lost.  The  stor>-  about  his  principal  having 
ttiiked  a  largo  sum  on  (Courtney's  success  has 
■  been  revived,  and  it  is  freely  charged  that  the 
pifta  of  illness  was  made  up  in  obedience  to 
orders  from  head-quarters,  which  required  him 
to  iosH  the  ra<'e.  What  justice  there  is  in  these 
Fra'erneats  it  is  impossiijie  to  learn.  Plaisted 
ROd  Mr.  Meeker  of  cour."*  deny  them,  and  I  saw 
Jh«latt<?r  hand  a  friend  $50  to  bet  on  the  for- 
TnftT  just  before  the  start.  But  a  crowd  of 
r.ewspapi?r  and  betting  men  being  within  ear- 
shot at  the  tlaie.  this  may  have  been  done  for 
pjfectT  !n  any  <?vciir  tli»  contest  has  decided 
two  qpfstions  which  have,  been  agitating  boat- 
ing circles  throughout  the  countr\-  for  some 
past'  rir-t.  i?!  r'urtney  or  Riley  the  better  oars- 
riia.  a^i.i  secondly,  .-ure  they  amateurs  or  pro- 
fessionals ' 

J^ince  writing  the  foregoing  I  have  made  it  my 
l'-:>iQ6£s  to  inves'ii^ate  tne  charge  against 
Plaiste;.  :^Ti^  nf]  sHtL-fled  that  neither  he  nor 
hi6  liacker  .in?  to  blame.  All  those  who  were  in 
a  pofilii^n  to  see  say  that  he  was  really  used  up, 
j.r.i  ."•Jr.  Morrissey' called  upon  Mr.  Meeker  to 
rrJcr  him  to  i:top  fully  five  minutes  before  he 
\'Tr\yp-  down,  owing  to  the  evident  distress  de- 
picierl  on  his  countenance.  'W'hilo  it  is  true 
tiat  Mr.  Meeker  bet  money  on  Courtney,  he 
fi'.'O  lie:  heavily  on  Plaisted  against  RUey,  and 
his  losses  are'  said  to  be,  very  considerable- 
]Riiey  is  very  much  disaatisfled  with  the  result 
ct  tlie  race.  He  complains  bitterly  of  Plaisted's 
runifing  across  him  soon  after  the  start,  and 
claim;  that  a  foul  really  occurred  juat  before 
the  turn.   -It  seems  that  the  oars  did  strike  to- 

f  ether,  but  Biley  l>eing  behind,  the  fault  was 
is.  if  anv  one's,  a:2d  as  neithec  of  the  contest- 
aj-.tsl^st  W  the  collision,  his  claim  was  disre- 
f^rded.  K'iley's  backer,  UelaQeld.  has  been 
talking  somewhat  loudly  on  the  street,  offering 
-  T, .  put  up  $500  that  his  man  can  defeat  Cotirt;- 
tjey  in  another  race  on  the  lake  within  10  days. 
I  hivs  just  seen  Courtney  receive  $800  in 
g:e.  nbacks  from  Mr.  Morrissey,  his  winnings  in 
t-daN'i  contest.  He  says  that  if  Mr.  Delafield 
'i  in  Vamesc  he  will  bo  accommodated  if  he  will 
■'  nrent  to  have  the  race  rowed  on  Seneca  Lake, 
where  Courtnev's  friends  will  have  a  chance  to 
Witness  it :  or  Courtney  is  willing  to  row  two 
^<;es— one  here  and  the  other  on  Seneca  Lake, 
i^r  sav: ,  however,  that  he  does  not  care  to  row 
Riiev'  .ir.v  more,  and  will  not  row  if 
It  is  ftilev's  money  that  is  to  be 
put  up.  Courtney  tella  "me  that  the  iajnry 
to  his  arm  occurred  before  he  had  pulled  10 
rods.  He  got  into  the  swell  of  one  of  the  small 
steamers,  and  being  excited,  dragged  his  oar 
out  of  the  water  with  the  full  strength  of  his 
arm,  straining  the  two  cords  in  the  centre  of 
his  right  wrist.  .  At  one  time  his  arm  got  per- 
fectlv  numb,  and  the  seull  dropped  from  his 
era-sp.  It  went  agaiiut  him  throoKhout  the  race. 
A  similar  accident  happened  him  two  year*  aco. 
1  heard  several  responsible  gentlemen  make  a 
proposition  to  Courtney  tonight  to  make 
a  match  for  hfan  with  Trlckatt,  of  Atatrmll*,  ths

all  his  winnings.  Courtney  expressed  aot  only 
his  willingness  bat  his  eagerness  to  row  on  (hese 
terms.  It  may,  therefore,  l>e  consider«A  as  cer- 
tain that  the  challenge  will  be  issued,  but  it  is 
doubtful  if  it  will  be  accepted,  as  the  foreigners 
are  almost  :certain  to  refuse  to  come  to  this 
counny. 

LOSSES  Br  FIRE. 


Shortly  after  4  o'clock  yesterday  afternoon, 
a  fire  broke  out  in  the  one-story  frame  stable.  No. 
630  Eleventh-avenufi,  and  extended  to  the  rear  of  the 
thre^ctorr  Mdc  dmUfaig,  No.  549  West  Forty^slxth- 
street,  ana  the  two-story  frame  stable,  No.  531  West 
Forty-sixth-atzvet.  The  firemen  w«r«  promptly  at 
the  soene  of  the  fin^  but  notwithstanding 
their  exertions  the  flames  extended  to  ,a 
nnmb«r  of  the  Bunouadlnir  bmldlngs, 
and  before  they  were  extinguished  six  btuldings  had 
been  more  or  less  damaged.  The  entire  loss,  how. 
ever,  will 'not  exMed  $37500.  The  sUbles,  No.  630 
Eloventhavenne  and  No.  651  y/ai  Simty-sbrth- 
street,  and  the  dwelling  No.  549  West  Portysixth- 
Btieet,  were  owned  by  John  W.  Bockhom,  whose 
lots  Is  estimated  at  §2,300.  A  horse,  wngon,  and 
sleigh  behn^ing  to  Jofam  HoUiz^  wer«  destroyed, 
and  a  horse  Mlongixig  to  Patrick  Duffy  was  so  badly 
burned  that  his  owner  had  the  animal  killed:  The 
loss  of  Holllngs  is  estimated  at  $200.  and  Duffy's 
horse  waa  vahwd  at  $130.  The  frame  rtwallijig.  No. 
872  West  Forty .levsnth-street,  was  damaged  to  the 
amoant  of  9200,  and  tb«  one-story  frame  stable, 
S'o.  574  WMt  Forty-seventh-street.  owned  by  Mary

638  Eleventb-arenue.  owned  by  P.  L.  and  J.  Kaffer- 
ty,  took  fire  from  sparks  ;  loss  $200.  The  origin  of 
the  fire  eould  not  be  ueertained.  Charles  Acker- 
man,  of  Hook  and  Ladder  C^imiMny  No.  4,  while  en- 
gaged in  tearing  down  a  chiinney,  was  severely  in- 
joied  on  the  head  by  some  bricks  falling  on  him. 

At  8  o'clock  yesterday  a  fire  broke  through 
the  roof  of  the  home  of  Mr.  George  Coombs,  near 
Lawrence  Station,  Roekaway,  Long  Tiland.  and  in  a 
few  minutes  the  whole  roof  was  enveloped  In  flames. 
There  being  no  fire  apparatus  in  the  village,  nothing 
could  be  done  to  check  the  progreee  of  the  Are.  Mr. 
Coombs'  loss  on  building  and  fnrnituro  is  abont 
$3,000,  with  an  insurance  of  $1,800.  The  house  of

GERilAJft  AXJD  TBE  FREXCB  TROOPS. 

A  German  military  paper  very  severely  criti- 
cises the  instructions  recently  issued  by  the  French 
Minister  of  War  coneeming  the  carrying  of  fully- 
packed  knapsacks  J>y  the  Infantry.  Aceozdine  to  the 
new  regulations,  all  foot  soldiers  are  in  future  to  b« 
laden  with  their  complete  kit  at  nearly  all  their  ex- 
ercises. Soldiers  who  have  finished  their  instruc- 
tional drills  are  to  carry  their  knapsack  whenever 
tmder  arms.  Corporals  and  other  nonK^ommissioned 
officers  are  to  wear  it  at  all  drills,  field  manceuvres. 
and  when  on  giurd.  Young  soldiers  are  to  carrv  the 
pack  as  soon  as'they  have  finished  their  squad  drill ; 
but  are  to  be  zradtuiUy  accustomed  to  the  weight  of 
a  complete  kit.  Inus  for  the  first  week  an 
empty  knapsack  is  to  be  worn ;  daring  th^  second 
and  thtrd  weeks  linen,  shoes,  brushes,  &c..  are  to  be 
carried  in  the  pack :  afterward  two  packets  of  cart- 
ridges are  to  be  added  each  week  until  the  full  com- 
plement of  74  rounds  is  reached.  On  special  occa- 
sions, as,  for  instance,  durin;;  fields  manoeuvres, 
sham  fights,  and  on  marches,  the  camp  equipment, 
'^etUecfahri,  cookinir  utensils,  and  one  or  more  rations 
of  biscuits  are  to  be  added.  Considering  that  the 
average  French  inf  aotry  soldier  is  smaller  and  weaker 
than  the  German,  the  writer  adds,  and  that  the  same 
care  is  not  e.xercised  in  Fran-e  as  in  Germany  at  the 
yTiwwftI  conscriptiou  in  weeding  out  men  of  ulterior 
physique,  these  strict  regulations  concerning  the  car- 
rying of  the  pack  can  be  read  only  with  surprise. 


TBS  LICE  ESTATE  LtTIOATIOK. 
The  San  Francisco  A  Ita  of  the  21st  inst  says : 
"  In  the  Nineteenth  District  Court  the  suit  of  Rich- 
aid  S.  Floyd  et  aL  and  Johu  Lick,  Administrator,  et 
al.,  came  up  for  fituil  argument  yesterday,  and  was 
submitted,  with  ten  days  to  each  side  to  file  briefs. 
The  suit  was  brought  by  the  Trustees  of  the  estate 
of  James  Lick,  deceased,  azainst  the  Administrator 
and  he^  at  law  and  the  beneficiaries,  under  a  cer- 
tain ludMtore,  executed  by  the  deceased  prior  to  his 
death,  for  the  ratification  of  a  certain  compromise. 
made  by  the  Trustees,  whereby  John  H.  Lick  heir- 
at-law.  is  to  receive  $38,%. 000  in  addition  to  the 
$150,000  granted  to  himunder  said  indenture.  All 
the  heirs  and  beneficiaries  accepted  the  compromise, 
by  which  the  additional  sum  is  to  be  deduotetl  from 
the  residue  of  the  estate,  except  the  California  Acad- 
emy  of  Sciences,  which  organization  demands  tliat 
an  additional  sum  bhall  be  deducted  pro  rata  from 
each  legatee.  The  Academy  of  Sciences  thereupon 
demurred  to  the  complaint,  and  it  was  upon  thls'de* 
murrer  that  the  argument  was  had.  The  grounds  of 
demurrer  are  want  of  jurisdiction  on  the  part  of  the 
court ;  that  the  plaiutins  h.ivo  no  legal  power  to  sue : 
that  John  H.  Lick,  in  his  indivldnaj  capacity,  is  not 
made  a  party  defendant,  and  that  the  complaint  does 
not  recite  stiflldent  facts  to  constitute  a  cause  of  afi. 
tion."  

MlSSiyO  FOR  FITE  TEARS. 
The  si.  Louis  Glohf-Dftnocrat  revives  the 
story  of  the  slngtUar  and  sad  disappe'aranco  of  ^Ers. 
.T.  n.  Newl>old,  a  sister-in-law  of  Gov.  Newbold,  of 
Iowa,  in  that  city  on  the  9th  of  October,  1872.  She 
went  from  CarroUton,  Mo.,  to  St.  IjOuIs,  in  company 
with  her  sister,  for  medical  treatment,  but  it  being 
fair  week  they  were  not  able  to  get  lodgings  at  a 
hotel.  Mrs.  Newbold  ordered  hor  baggage  sent  to  the 
house  of  a  Mrs.  Downs,  midwife  and  physician,  who 
said  she  could  accommodate  one  boarder,  but  not 
two.  Mrs,  Newbold's  sister  returned  to  CarroUton. 
This  was  the  last  seen  of  Mrs.  Newbold.  After  five 
years"  search  a  criminal  has  been  found  who  says 
Mrs.  Newbold  was  murdered  for  $700  in  her  posses- 
sion and  that  he*  body  was  pat  in  a  sewer  at  the 
Pacific  Depot,  from  whence  it  was  probably  carried 
into  the  river.  In  the  meantime  Mts-  Downs  has 
been  sentenced  to  the  penitentiary  in  Ohio  for  Bte,>l- 
mg  goods  in  Cineinnati.  The  mystery  is.  therefore, 
only  partially  tuiraveled.  Mrs.  Newbold  was,  a 
native  of  Motmt  Pleasant,  Iowa.

T3E  MXTRDEB  OF  J.  W.  aULLT  OyCE  MORE. 
The  Meridian  (Miss.)  Mercury  of  Aug.  2-t  has 
the  following :  "  It  was  generally  known  here  yes- 
t<*rdRy.  and  to  some  parties  the  day  before,  that  the 
real  assassin  of  John  W.  Chilly  had  been  irrested  in 
Tennessee,  and  was  bronght  down  Thursday  ni^ht  to 
Scooba.  It  seemed  to  be  well  substantiated  that  the 
man  arrested  is  a  negro,  one  Walker  Rllev,  an  old 
resident  of  Kemper  County.  Abont  six  years  ago 
this  negro  waylaid  and  shot  and  killed.  Bob  Dabbs,  in 
DeKalb,  luid  ran  oCf  and  has  not  been  seen  since. 
At  this  writing  we  know  nothing  of  the  evidenoe 
upon  which  his  arrest  has  been  based  for  the  murder 
ot  Gully.  We  are  eudeav<»rliig  to  obtain  something 
more  satisfactory  for  this  issue  of  our  paper.  The 
first  theory,  that  Ben  Rush  had  slipped  into  the 
country  and  committed  the  murder,  has  long  since 
been  exploded  by  satisfactory  evidence  of  his  b«ing 
in  Arkansas  at  the  time  ;  and  the  mystery  of  it  has 
baen  i>erplexing."  .

■will  doubtless  be  one  of  the  notable  poUti  al  utt^er-

YEAMOXT  SNAKE  STOBIES!. 
The  Burlington  Fr€e  Press  of  Monday  thus 
groups  them  :  "  Near  St.  Albans,  the  other  day,  a 
snake  was  seen  12  feet  long  and  as  large  around  as  a 
water-pail.  As  be  stood  on  hla  head  and  wiggled  his 
tail  in  the  air  the  scene  was  terrific.  A  woman  at 
Sutton,  reeently.  heard  a  noise  among  her  hens.  She 
went  out  to  see  what  was  the  matter,  and  beheld  a 
lazge  snake  of  a  darkish  color.  It  did  not  seem  like 
the  ordinary  striped  si^oke.  and  was  coil^  np  beside 
one  of  the  hens,  and  the  hen  was  flapping  her  wings 
and  seemed  to  be  fixed  to  the  spot  as  if  she  were 
charmed.    The  woman  killed  the  snake,   and  subse- 

anently  the  hen  laid  an  egg.  the  sauul  end  ot  which  is 
tie  exact  shape  of  a  snuc&'s  head.  The  egg  was 
broken,  and  in  the  cud  was  a  small  but  perfect  snake, 
alive  and  about  one  inch  long.  Alfred  GUe,  of  Dan- 
ville, is  reported  to  have  killed  a  black  snake,  re- 
cently, that  xoeasuted  5  feet  and  3  inches  in  length." 

A  CHEAP  IMPOSITION.

tbe  following  in  reference  to  a  pretended  poem  by  E.

RACE. 
The  Monmouth  Park  August  Meeting  opened 
yesterday,  but  not  quite  auspiciously  in  the  matter 
of  attendance ;  and  yet  there  is  no  good  reason  why 
tliis  should  be  so.  The  management  seems  to  lack 
no  essential  in  spirit  or  enterprise,  the  course  is  one 
of  the  ftceat  in  the  country,  conmnmication  with 
the  Metropolis  is  easy  and  abundant,  a  fashionable 
watering  place  lies  Just  at  band,  and  no  adverse 
legiatation  curtails  betting,  and  puts  obtrusive  bar- 
riers is.  the  way  of  enterprlaing  speoolators.  But  for 
all  these  things  the  meeting  appears  to  be  no  longer 
so  lareely  patronized  as  heretofore.  Perhaps  it 
suffers  from  the  pressure  of  Saratoga,  or  perhaaps 
the  more  general  pressure  of  bard  times  touches  it, 
in  common  with  all  Idnds  of  sport  throughout  the 
country.  It  must  not,  however,  be  inferred  that  the 
meeting  is  in  Bnyre^)ect  a  failure.  On  the  contrary, 
It  affords  exeellent  sport,  and  Is  only  deficient  in  the 
spirit  and  tone  which  come  of  a  rery  large  and  very 
faiterested  attendance.  The  gathering  yesterday  was 
by  means  meagre,  but  no  doubt  would  be  of  sight 
account  in  comparison  with  the  assemblages  that  are 
accustomed  to  visit  this  pretty  race  ceurse  in  West- 
chester County.  The  day  waa  excessively  warm, 
and  only  late  in  the  afternoon  waa 
ii  tempered  by  a  breeze.  But,  whatever 
the  drawbacks,  some  of  the  races  were 
of  sufficient  Interest  to  make  amends  for  all  sUght 
blemishes.  Such  a  one  was  the  first  race — a  dash  of 
three-quarters  of  a  mUe— which  broneht  out  a  field 
of  eight  horses.  It  was  an  exceedingly  prett  J*<«pee- 
tacle,  a  stubborn  contest,  fought  out  between  the 
two  leading  horses  to  a  head,  and  fraught  with  some 
untoward  consequences  to  backers.  The  bright  line 
of  minting  colors  streamed  first  along  the  back 
stretch  from  the  quarter  pole,  then  it  closed  np  and 
shifted  hues  with  kaleidoscopic  effect.  Into  the 
home  stretch  it  rushed  with  winged  expedition, 
whip  and  spur  were  vigorously  at  work,  and  then  the 
horses  rushed  under  the  string  with  only  the  length 
of  a  head  between  them.  It  was  a  passing  flash  of 
green  and  blue,  but  the  green  was  leading,  and 
so  the  victory  went  to  the  smart  filly  Duchess,  which, 
by  the  way,  brought  her  backers  $44  20  in  the 
mutual  pools.  The  antagonist  which  ran  her  so  dose 
was  Egypt,  which  carried  23  pounds  more  than  the 
fleet  youngster  of  Leamington  descent.  But  the  favor 
ite,  the  prestmiedly  invincible  Yorkshire  I»ass,  which 
had  been  backed  at  almost  even  sums  to  beat  the 
field,  was  only  fourth,  and  so  there  were  some  wry 
faces  when  the  race  was  done.  A  capital  race,  too, 
was  the  first  of  the  mile  beats,  in  which,  to  the  sur- 
prise of  everybody.  Hattle  F.  held  her  own  with  the 
favorite  Partnership.  It  was  a  brilliant  contest. 
The  horse  came  up  stride  after  stride  under  whip 
and  spur,  but  the  mare  was  not  touched  until  nitbin 
a  few  paces  of  the  line,  but  then  she  had  nothing  to 
give  in  response  to  the  summons,  and  her  strongly- 
going  antagonist  all  but  caught  her.  So  his 
backers  held  by  him.  and  he  rewarded 
their  confidence  by  winning  the  succeeding 
beats  "hard  held.*'  as  the  turf  people  phrase  it.  The 
hea  B  in  the  hurdle  race  were  also  beautifully  close, 
but  they  were  nevert&eless  Jield  safe  by  Mr.  I>aw- 
rence's  Risk,  which  had  very  properly  the  confidence 
of  the  betting  communltv-  Ihe  judges  were:  Gen. 
Van  Fleet.  >Ir.  Johu  S.  Heckscher.  Col.  S.  Fellows, 
snd  Mr.  F.  G.  K.  Lawrence.  Atessrs.  Ellis  and  John 
Hoey.  Jr.,  were  the  distance  judges;  Mr.  D.  D. 
Withers  and  Judge  Manson  were  the  timers,  and 
Mr.  William  M.  Conner  officiated,  as  heretofore,  in 
the  capacity  of  starter.  The  following  are  the  de- 
tails of  the  several  contests  : 

THE  TIIHKE-<jrABTEBS  DASHrf 

The  first  race  was  a  dash  of  three-4iuarters  of  a  mile,

.    THE  MILE-HEATS  RAfE.  \ 

The  second  race  was  run  in  mile  heats,  sni^  was 
open  to  horses  of  all  ages,  with  maiden  alloin^inces 
as  in  the  provions  contest.  It  was  for  a  pox^  of 
$350,  of  wlkich  $275  went  to  the  first  horse  and  $^ 
to  the  second.  The  entries  were  :  W.  R.  Babcock's 
b.  c- Woodland,  4  TWO'S,  118  pounds,  (Waller;)  J. 
ti.  Bethtme's  J),  g.  Burgoo,  aged,  121  pounds,  (Gaff-

pounds,  (Hennessy  ;)  G.  LongstafiTs  br.  n.  Partner-

Partnership  wiuh  made  the  favorite,  selling  at  $(i0  to 
Bunsoo'e  $il,  Hattio  F.'s  $25,  and  WocxUand's  $15. 

The  start  for  the  first  heat  was  pi  omptly  aud  sat- 
isfactorily effect«d  from  opposite  the  g^rand  stand. 
Buigoo  was  Rtmuest  in  motion,  and  jumped  at  once 
into  front  plane,  with  Hattie  F.  stcond,  P.trtnar- 
ship  third,  imd  Woodland  jast.  Tliis  onler  was 
maintained  to  the  nuarter-pole,  down  the  back 
stretch,  and  to  the  half-mile  jkjIp.  the  only  nolic.ablo 
effect  being  that  the  pace  was  telline  upon  Wood- 
loud.  •  Hatiie  F.  came  up  ou  the  in^de  as  the,,  eu- 
tered  th-^  home  str'-tcij,  w-ith  Partnership  close  after 
her,  under  presjmre  of  the  whip.  Tlio  horse,  how- 
ever, held  out  ifamely,  and,  althungh  Hattle  only  ro- 
ceivfHl  *ho  whip  for  tlie  first  time  in  the  few  last 
strides,  it  was  clear  that  fiad  they  murh  further  to 
go.  she  must  have  snceunibrd  to  Partnership.  As 
It  was  she  pa.«sed  under  tiio  line  liitlf  a  length  ahead. 
Partnership  havini?  a  similar  lead  of  Burgoo.  Wood-

hi^cherthan  both  Huttie  F.  and  Burgoo  coniblnejL 
Kor  did  tl  0  horst-  fail  to  justify  this  confidence. 
Once  the  liorses  -"Vere  set  going,  Bunjoo  again  rushed 
to  the  fr-pnt  with  ihe  .ipparent  intention  of  making 
the  running.  This  time  Partnership  followed  close 
after  Jiim,  ond  Hattle  F.,  who  was  h  £^"d  deal 
Btkbdued  by  her  first  n^at.  lay  off  behind,  Tnere  was 
no  ch;-.ng(j  in  thesepn^itions  until  they  came  to  the 
back  turn,  when  riirtuership  closed  with  .Burgoo, 
la  the  home  stretch  he  was  leading,  and  alihoueh 
Burgoo  was  hard  whipped  he  could  never  reach  tne 
favorite,  which  won  In  a  canter  by  a  length.  Hattle 
F.  was  two  lencths  bthind  Burgoo.    Time — 1:483^. 

For  the  final  bent,  Partuershlp.sold  at  $00  to  $10 
over  Hattle  F.  Partnership  took  the  lead  at  tlie 
start,  completely  outpaced  the  mare,  aud  could  have 
distanced  her  it  there  were  any  heed  for  such  a  per- 
formance.   He  cantered  iu  a  winner  in  1:55^^ 

THE  HUTtDLE    RACE. 

The  third  was  a  hurdle  race  over  four  hurdles,  and 
was  run  in  mile  heats,  the  first  horse  receiving  $275 
and  the  second  $75.  The  entries  were  J.  McGuire 
&  Brother's  ch.  h.  New-Vork,  5  years.  152  pounds, 
(Nolan:)  Di.  Lj-nch*s  gr.  h.  Derby,  5  years.  152 
pounds  (Gaffeuey ;)  J.  G.  K.  Laurence's  r.  h.  Hisic,  5 
years,  152  pounds  (Sutcliffe.) 

The  horses  wore'dlspatched  to  a  splendid  start,  and 
reached  the  first  hurdle  together,  which,  however, 
they  succeeded  in  kno<:kiDg  down.  They  then  quick- 
ened their  pace,  and  as  they  reached  the  second  hur- 
dle at  the  beginning  ot  the  back  stretch,  New-York 
was  leading,  with  Risk  second,  and  Derby  three 
lengths  b^und.  The  hurdle  was  well  cleared,  and 
the  pace '  still  continuing.  Bisk  drew  up  to  New- 
York,  and  both  crossed  the  third  hurdle  together. 
I>erby  bad  also  closed  up  at  this  point,  and  was  only 
a  length  behind  Risk  and  New- York.  All  were  on 
perfectly  even  terms  as  they  went  over  the  last  hur- 
dle, but  coming  np  the  home  stretch  Risk  showed  the 
best  pace,  and  went  by  the  stand  leatUng  bv  a  length. 
Derby  was  second,  two  leng^ia  shead  of  }^'ew-York.

TUE-  POPE'S  -fTOCKIXCS. 
Among  the  many  pilgrims. who  have  of  late 
visited  Rome  was  snold  French  lady,  who  undertook 
the  pilgrimage,  accordine  to  an  Italian  pajor.  under 
circimistances  of  no  ordinary  interest.  She  had  for 
some  lime  suffered  from  at:  aifediou  of  the  leg  of  so 
serious  a  nature  that,  acting  under  the  advice  of  emi- 
n»tht  pliysicianf,  she  at  lait  consented  to  have  the  o- 
Umb  amputated  a.i  the  only  chance  of  restoration  to  - '  20]^ 
health.  On  the  day,  however,  before  that  on  which 
the  operation  was  to  take  place  one  of  her  friends 
persuaded  her  to  defer  it  until  she  had  tried  the  effect 
of  a  stocking  in  his  possession  that  had  been  *om  by 
the  Pope,  and  which  he  asserted  would  infallibly  cure 
her.  !She  accordingly  put  on  the  stocking,  aiid,  to 
her  surprise  add'  aeligUt.  at  the  end  of  a  few  days 
WH&  alue  to  walk  about  as  thoroughly  cured  as 
though  she  hod  never  labored  tmder  any  infirmity. 
Having  madea  vow  that  if  the  remedy  proved  suc- 
cessfm  she  would  perform  a  pilgnimage'to  Rome,  she 
lost  no  time  In  redeeming  this  pledge  ;  and  on  being 
ushered  into  the  presence  of  the  Pope  prostrated 
herself  with  emotion  before  his  Holiness,  enthtisias- 
tdoally  thanking  blm  for  the  benefit  she  had  derived 
from  the  use  of  his  stocking.  After  hearing  her 
■tfsyttiePope  coldly  replied,  "Tou  are  most  for- 
tanK*.  On*  of  B^  stockings  has  healed  you  and 
leftmd  yea  a  leg.  Am  for  myeelf  I  put  two  of  them 
on  e»tib.  BOtsSsfi  yet  I  un  not  able  to  walk  or  even

THE  OFFENDERS — THE  RRiJUEST  TO-BE 
ACTED  UPON.  TO-DAT. 
A  meeting  of  the  Garbage  Committee  of  the 
Kings  County  Board  of  Supervisors  was  held  yester- 
day afternoon  in  the  Board-room,  of  the  Kings 
County  Court-house,*  to  confer  with  Shore  Inspector 
Ferguson  in  regard  to  the  means  necessary  to  enforce 
the  decision  of  the  court  to  restrain  the  Police  Com- 
missioners of  New-York  from  passing  the  Narrows 
with  their  garbage  scows  without  a  permit  from  tbe 
Shore  Itispector.  Supervisors  Gubner  and  Ctuxwi 
only  were  present,  they  being  the  only  members 
of  the  committee  now  in  town.  While  tiie -com- 
mittee was  In  consultation  a  dlspatcb  was  received 
informing  them  that  the  scows,  loaded  witb  their 
dlsgusttng  freight,  were  at  tho  Bay  Ridge  Dock,  at 
1  o'clock,  ready  to  proceed  outward  at  once.  Shore 
IiMpector  Fen^uson  stated  that  the  New- York  Com- 
misidoners  had  not  even  asked  for  any  permit  from 
him,  and  were  therefore  in  contempt  of  court,  and 
asked  the  committee  to  authorize  him  to  procure 
a  steam-boat  and  follow  them  down  the  Bay 
with  a  Police  force,  whiclf  would  be  fur- 
nished by  the  Brooklyn  authorities.  He  said, 
however,  that  he  was  afraid  ir  was  too  late  to  do 
anything  then.  The  "members  of  the  comimlttee 
present  favored  the  plan,  and  it  is  probable  that  it 
■will  be  adopted  hereafter.  Supervisor  Gubner  said 
that  the  loss  to  the  longshore  fishermen  by  the  out- 
rageous practice  of  the  New-York  Commissioners 
hodnotl^n  less  than  $100,000,  and  that  immense 
quantities  of  fish,  oyster8.-T  and  clams  had 
been  poisoned,  and  could  bo. — picked  np 
dead  along  the  shore  at  any  time'.  Supervisor 
Cturan  said  that  he  supposed  the  trouble  was  due  to 
the  desire  of  the  contractors  to  make  all  the  money 
they  could.  By  taking  advantage  of  the  'outgoing 
tide,  they  were  able  to  convey  a  large  fleet  of  scows 
down  the  Bay,  when  if  they  took  them  down  when 
the  tide  was  running  un  so  as  to  dtmiip  them  on  an 
ebb  tide  it  would  require  the  employment  of  more 
steam  tugs,  involve  an  increased  expenditure  of 
money,  and  thus  diminish  their  profiu.  There  not 
being  a  quorum  of  the  committee  present,  final  action 
on  the  Shore  Inspector's  requisiduu  for  a  st«amer 
waa  deferred.  Application  waa  subsequently  mi^-. 
to  the  Brooklyn  Police  Commissioners  for  a  detalFol 
noUcemen  to  carry  out  the  proposed  raid  ou  the  gar- 
bage men,  and  the  Commissioners  will  hold  a  meeting 
to-day  to  take  action  in  the  matter.  ~

TUE  QVARRyME.yS  COMBIXATIOX. 
The  Hud.son  County  quarrymen  held  a  mat- 
ing at  Donohoe's  tavern,  in  Weehawken,  yesterday, 
and  resolved  to  continue,  at  le.ist  another  week,  their 
combination  for  increased  rotes.  A  report  waa  re- 
ceived to  the  effect  |  that  the  Guttenberg 
quarrymen  aud  blaclwmitlfe  had,  several  days 
ago,  .iohied  the  organizatipn  and  susjwnd- 
ed  work.  A  committee  appointed  at  a  pre- 
vious meeting  to  visit  tbe  Hudson  City  block- 
men  reported  that  the  men  in  tiiat  locality  were  in 
full  sympathy  with  the  Wecbawken  men.  One 
quarrynian,  they  said,  was  still  making  the  blocks,  but 
had  agreed  not  to  sell  any  until  the  differences  be- 
tween the  men  and  the  contractors  are  amicably  ad- 
justed. Four  members  of  the  combination 
were  detailed  to  wait  on  two  blacksmiths 
on  -  Union  Hill,  who.  in  defiance  of  the 
^Veehawken  block-makers  are  sharpening  tools  for 
some  working  quarrymeu  at  that  place.  It  being 
pretty  clear  to  those  present  that  the  contractors,  or 
at  least  some  of  them,  are  weakening  in  their  oppo- 
sttion  to  the  demands  of  the  combination,  it  was 
unanimously  resolved,  to  prolong  it,  and  a  morion  to 
adjourn  tlie  meeting  until  Tuesday  next  waa  adopted. 
A  previous  motion  to  resume  work  at  the  present 
rates  was  *ot^l  down  with  expressions  of  indigna- 
tion, and  it  was  decided  to  debar  from  the  combina- 
tion those  who  sell,  i«r  attempt  to  sell,  blocks  during 
iho  period  of  the  strike.  After  pa.s.sing  a  vote  of 
thanks  to  the  press  for  its  support,  the  meeting  ad- 
journed. _  _  ^

TBE  FITTSTOy  COLLIERS  STRIKE^ 

STOPPAOE  OP  THE  PENNSYLVANIA  COM- 
PANY'S MINES— PRESIDENT  HOYT'S  OPIN- 
ION OF  THE  STRIKING  MINERS.  '" 
The  announcement  of  the  detennlnation  by 
the  Pfttston  miners  not  to  work  longer  for  tbe  Penn- 
sylvania Coal  Company  unless  an  advance  of  23  per 
cent,  is  made  in  their  wages  seemed  to  cause  no  but- 
prise  among  tho  officers  of  the  ctfmpany  in  this  City. 
They  freely  expressed  their  disappointment  that  'thp 
men,  who  had  held  aloof  hitherto  from  participation 
iu  the  strikes,  had  felt-  impelled  to  Join  the 
thousands  already  idle  In  the  Pennsylvania 
coal  fields,  but  they  had  ftUly  expected  that  the  fever 
would  spread  to  their  own  men  before  tbe  trouble 
alt<Mtether  ceased.  Mr.  Hoyt  says  the  company's 
positive  and  unalterable  answer  to  the  miners  waa 
given  on  Saturday,  when  it  waa  declared  that,  on 
mature  reflection,  the  advance  asked  for  cotild  not  be 
given,  and  they  had  further  det-ipjed  that  they  would 
not  change  tbelr  reply  if  the  mines  were  to  remain 
idle  an  entire  year.  As  it  is,  the  officers  say  thev  are 
not  mailing,  nor  have  they  made,  any  profits,'  and 
tiiey  have  little  anxiety  about  continuing  un- 
profitable mining  any  longer.  For  the  aake 
of  the  miners  they  would  have  kept  the 
works  ffoingif  the  miners  had  consented  to  resume 
at  the  old  rates,  and  should  they  now  reconsider  their 
action  on  Monday,  and  ask  to  be  put  at  work  again 
on  former  wages,  with  some  assurance  that  tlie  re- 
quest is  a  unanimous  one,  the  probability  is  that  the 
company  will  grant  their  request.  Mr.  Hoyt  is  of 
the  opinion  tliat  the  miners  will  soon  adopt  this 
course.  He  does  not  believe  that  the  principals  in 
the  movement  are  ntimerous,  and  he  is  assured  that 
the  four  men  who  caused  the  greatest  dissatisfac- 
tion came  from  other  mines.  "Were  the  miuers  to 
vote  upo^the  matter,  he  believed  four-fifths  of  them 
would  voce  for  work.  Tlie  ces.satiou  of  work  in  the 
Pittston  mines -will  immediately  cause  distress  among 
the  miners,  as  the  store-keepere  with  whom  tbe  men 
trade  will  now  decline  to  extend  further  credit  to  tbe 
men.  ilr.  Hoyt  denied  that  the  Pennsylvania  Com- 
pany had  been  making  a  profit  on  powder  and  oil 
furnished  to  the  miners.  On  the  contrary,  he  said 
the  men  were  free  to  buy  their  powder  and  oil 
wherever  they  chose,  and  the  company  have  had 
nothing  w;hatever  to  do  with  their  sale.  He  said 
^  that  the  company  had  been  careful  of  the  interests  of 
'  the  miners,  and  on  several  occasions  when  it  had 
""been  found  that  they  had  lieen  compelled  to  pay  ex- 
orbitant prices  for  their  supplies  the  company  had 
ptipchased  powder  and  oil  and  sold  them  to  the  nainers 
at  a  loss  of  50  per  cent.  So  far  from  keeping  them 
idle  a  great  part  of  the  time,  he  said  that  the  miuers 
in  the  employment  of  the  company  were  dolne  better, 
than  manv  sidlled  mechanics,  as  they  had  oeenat 
work  five  days  in  the  week  at  good  paying  wages. 
21t.  Hoyt  was  decidedly  of  the  opinion  that  the  strike 
would  not  increase  the  price  of  coal,  and  he  gave  it 
OS  his  opinion-that  the  market  is  so  overstocked  that 
it  is  not  likely  soon  to  be  affected.  A  resumption  of 
mining  early  in  the  Fall  would  keep  prices  as  low  as 
they  have  been  during  the  Summer. 


THE  LIGHTBODT  ASSAVLT.  « 

Mr.  George  H.,  Lightbody,  the  Furman-^treet 
(Brooklyn)  ink  manufacturer,  the  particulars  of 
whose  serious  injury,  on  Sunday  night  last,  have 
been  already  published  in  The  Times,  left  the  Long 
Island  College  Hospital  at  4:30  o'clock  Monday 
night  in  company  with  his  wife.  It  is  stated  that 
the  hospital  stirgeons  made  no  examination  whatever 
of  the  wounded,  man's  injuries,  and  did  not  even 
wash  the  blood  from  his  face  and  head;  and  that  he 
left  tbe  hospital  in  tbe  same  condition  in  wiilch  he 
entered  it.  It  is  still  asserted  that  the  man's  skull  is 
fractured,  and  that  he  is  in  momentarr  danger  from 
his  injuries.  Hia  wife  stated,  vesterlav,  that  she 
was  up  with  him  all  night  the  night  before,  and  that 
by  consfant  bathing  she  had  succeeded  in  keeping 
down  the  inflammation  and  allaying  the  fever.  She 
said  that  the  trouble  between  her  son  and  her  hus- 
band occurred  a  week  ago  last  Friday,  and  grew  out 
of  ill-treaiment  erf  the  son  by  the  husband,  when  the 
latter  was  under  the  intlnence  of  liquor.  She  said 
that  she  had  supported  hernelf  for  tho  last  20  vears, 
by  taking  boarders  and  letting  furnished  rooms,  and 
for  that  reason  «he  considered  ahe  had  a  perfect  right 
to  furnish  her  son  with  a  room.  She  said  .*er  htis- 
bfind^-as  a  large,  powerful  man,  and  her  son  had 
beenmore  than  once  compelled  to  Invoke  the  aid  of 
the  law  for  bis  protection;  and  that  at  the  present 
time  her  husband  wa«i  under  bonds  to  keep  the  pi?ace. 
Both  Nelson  and  Longfellow  are  out  on  bail- 

A  RUSSIAX  PEASANT'S  SATIXGS  BAXK. 

In  one  of  the  small  provincial  towns  of  South- 
em  RtiBsla  a  savings  bank  b^  recently  been  estab- 
lifthed.  the  second  clerk  of  which,  while  lounging  at 
his  desk  on  a  "flat  day  "  in  Summer,  was  startled  by 
tbe  entrance  of  a  hea\-\--looklng  peasants-slouching, 
grimy,  unkempt — tlie  very  last  man  one  would  ex- 
pect to  see  iu  a  bank,  except  for  the  purptose  of 
robbing  it.  The  apparition  came  timidly  up  to  the 
counter,  and  tho  following diaiogne  ensued: 

"  Well,  my  good  feilow,  what  may  you  want  here, 
proy  V  ^ 

"  If  It  picase  you,  father,  I  want  yon  to  take  charge 
of  some  money  for  me.  Our  folks  say  that  I  might 
be  roblied  of  it,  aud  that  it  will  be  safer  with  you.' 

•"Money,  eh  J  Wliv,  how  much  money  htCvo  you 
got  then  I    Four  roubles  J    Five?    Tent"  ' 

"No,  it  must  Im?  more  thau  that,  I  fancy.  My  wife 
and  1  couldn't  manage  to  cotmt  it  all.  though 'we've 
been  at  it  ail  morning." 

Srt  saving,  the  genUeman  In  sheepskin  produced  a 
tattereA,  filthy  leather  bag,  and  poured  out  be- 
fore tho  clerk'a  astonished  eyes  a  perfect  pvra- 
Tiiid  of  bank  bills  of  all  values  froni  1  rouble  to'.'W). 
The  amazed  clerk  hastily  Kummoned  his  two  col- 
leapics.  and  the  three,  otter  a  long  spell  of  counting. 
satisfied  themselves  that  the  toul  amount  was  not 
less  than  •20,(X>0  roubles  (f  15,000.)  The  peasant, 
wlio  had  stood  watching  the  operation  with  a  look  of 
childlsli  curit>sity.  pocketed  his  receipt  and  walked 
off  aii  coolly  as  if  nolMnR  had  happened :  but  the 
next  morning  he  reappeared  and  again  addressed  him- 
self to  the  same  clerk. 

'^*  •  Ood  bo  with  you,  father.  Do  you  take  care  of 
gold,  too,  as  well  os  bank  bills  ? " 

"What,  gold?  Wliy.  you'd  b^er  start  a  bank 
yOrUrself !  How  much  gold  have  you  got,  in  Heaven's 
uamei " 

'■  Two  boxes  fulL" 

At  ttds  point  the  Iwnker  himself,  who  had  been 
listening  to  tho  conversation  with  the  deepest  amaze- 
ment, came  forward  and  announced  his  intention  of 
accompanying  his  strange  customer  home,  and  tak- 
ing charge  of  the  gold  himself.  The  unwashed  capi- 
talist joyfully  accepted  the  offer,  and  the  pair  drove 
out  to  a  hamlet  about  two  miles  from  the  town.  Here 
the  peasant  led  his  companion  to  a  small,  mean- 
looking  hut,  and  opening  a  shed  on  one  side  of  it. 
displayed  two  battered  wooden  boxes,  throngh  the 
breaches  in  whicli  gold  pieces  were  escaping  in  all  di- 
rections, while -beside  them  lay  the  dirty  bag  which 
had  held  the  bank  bills  of  the  day  liefore-  The 
banker  asked  in  .nmazement,  "  How  long  havo  you 
had  thlsmoney  \" 

•  >ly  father  and  grandfather  saved  It  up.*'  an- 
swered the  peasant,  "  and  btiried  it  here  :  and  I  due 
it  up  jn.st  the  other  day,  becattse  I'm  going  to  shift 
my  quarters." 

"But,  with  all  this  money,  why  don't  you  and 
TOUT  wife  live  in  bettor  style  t"  asked  the  banker, 
looking  around  at  the  miserable  hovel.

CA  VALRY  MAKCEWRES  IN  GERMANY. 

The  special  cavalry  manoauvres  which  now 
take  place  every  Autcunn  in  Germany  are  compara- 
tive novelties  in  the  exercises  of  the  German  Army, 
dating  only  from  -the  campaign  of  1370-1,  when, 
as  is  well  known,  cavalry  was  repeatedly  called  upon 
to  operate  Independently,  in  large  masses,  at  consid- 
erable distances  from  the  main  body  of  the  Army. 
The  experience  then  g^ned  showed,  according  to  the 
Recue  MiHtaire.  tbe  necessity  of  holding  special 
manoeuvres  for  that  arm  of  the  service ;  and  accord- 
ingly, during  the  last  four  ^eafs  such  exercises,  con- 
tinued for  at  least  a  fortnight,  have  been  annuallv 
carried  out  at  three  different  places  in  Germany.  All 
the  cavalry  regiments  in  turn  take  part  in  these  mau<Fn- 
vres,  those  exercised  being  temporarily  organized  in  di- 
visions, each  of  three  brigades  of  two  r^dments — 
two  of  the  brigades  oonslsUng  of  liaht,  the  third  of 
heavy  cavalry.-  Each  of  these  dtvfeions  also  com- 
prises tbree  batteries  of  horse  artillery,  one  of  the 
the  latter  being  attached  to  each  brigade.  The  regi- 
ment.** th*'mselvea  are  on  a  war  footing— that  is  to 
say,  they  take  the  field  with  four  sqtiadrons,  the  fifth 
remaining  to  perform  garrison  duties,  but  taking  part 
in  the  Autumn  mancen\Tes  of  the  division  of  infantrj* 
to  which  it  is  attached.  The  first  of  these  special 
cavalry  manoeuvres  jook  place  in  1S73  at  Juter- 
bock.  where  eight  regiments  of  the  division  of  cav- 
alry of  the  guard  were  exercised :  at  Dessau. 
where  six  regiments  o£dfcft£onrth  Corps  manoeuvred 
under  the  orders  of^Gen.  Von  Schmidt,  and  at 
Buxdehude.  where  six.  regiments,  belonging  some  to 
the  Ninth  and  others  to  the  Tenth  Corps. were  assc^m 
bled.  In  IST-l  the  exercises  took  place  at  Munch- 
berg.  Burg.  &nd  Hftcenau ;  In  l^.'S  at  Nauen.  Konitz. 
and  Vftbrode,  to  which  latter  plare  regiments  were 
brought  for  the  purposft  from  three  different  army 
corpR — the  Seventh,  Tenth,  and  Eleventh;  and  in 
18  /  6  St  ZuUichau  and  Welssenoma^only.  it  not  being 
thongljt  neceRsarj' to  hold  a  third  set  of  the  manoeu- 
vres last  vear.as  theravalrv  of  the  guard — ^the  Third. 
the  Twe'.rth.  and  the  Fourth  Corps — was  formed  into 
separate  divisions.-  and  employed  independently  dur- 
ing the  manoeuvres  of  their  respective  corps  against 
one  another.  •

As  does  every  other  good  Rhode  Islander"  -when  he 
has  anything  remarkable  to  show,  Capt.  Bowen  im-

with  no  common  interest  as  its  further  history  is

taken  prisoner,  lie  was  informed  that  he  would  be 
released  on  parole.  ViM>n  leaving  he  was  so

home  barely  alive,  and  a  few  weeks  later  he  had  tha 
pleasure  of  recviving  the  sword.  He  then  had  en- 
gravetl  upon  it  th»  inscriptioiis  which  have  been  the 
means  of  brineing  the  Bword  back  to  hlni  now.  In

and  Capt.  Bowen's  sword  drank  blood  again  and

■  A  correspondent  writing  from,  the  South  Afri*

3  RETOLTTXti  SHELL  GVN. 

A  correspondent  with  the  Turkish  fleet  writesi 
"  In  speaking  of  the  armament  of  the  Arsari  Tefyk  I 
should  mention  that  a  most  valuable  addition  hat 
lately  been  made  iu  the  shape  of  a  revolvixig  ah^ 
gun.  ItzJs  the  invention  of  a  Frenchman,  and,  in 
connection  with  the  electric  light,  may  be  considered 
as  the  very  best  defense  yet  brought  out  against  tor- 
pedo-boats. It  throws  a  one-pound  shell  with  a 
pointed  steel  head  capable  of  piercing  the  plates  oi 
which  the  Thomycroft  is  constructed,  and  has  a 
ranp:e  of— something  like  3.000  yards.  Briefly., 
described,  it  is  a  Gatling  gun  on  a  lam 
scale,  having  five  revolvuLg  rifled  barrela 
instead  of  10,  the  said  barrels  being  about  3  ^  feet 
in  length,  and  1  \  Inches  l>ore  at  the  muzzle.  The 
loading  and  firing  arrangements  are  similar  to  the 
(iatling.  only,  instead  of  -a  cylindrical  ease  beli^ 
placed  on  the  top  of  the  breech,  the  cartridges  axe  ar- 
ranged in  flat  cases  of  five,  which  are  fixed  in  an  in- 
clined position  at  the  aide.  Tho  turn  of  a  handle 
causes  one  of  the  cartridges  to  slip  into  the  chamber. 
when  it  is  thrust  forw&i^  into  the  barrel  and  fired. 
This  weapon  Is  fixed  on  a  pivot  at  the  stern,  while  a 
Gatllng  ffun  at  each  end  of  the  bridge,  and  one  un  tbe 
forecastle,  are  also  always  ready  for  giving  a  -warm 
reception  to  any  of  the  enemy's  boats  which  may  at- 
tempt to  approach  the  Turkish  flagship  while  at  an- 
chor."

DESTROTIXG  CHESTNUT  TREES. 

While  the  phylloxera  is'  raraging  the  rina 
yards  and  the  Colorado  beetle  threatening  the  potato- 
fields  of  France,  yet  anoth^  plague  is  reported  to 
have-appeared  in  the  Pyrenean  districts.  This  tima 
it  is  the  groves  and  woods  of  chestnut  trees  which 
are  menaced.  According  to  tbe  Oourrier  de  Bapommtt 
&  large  number  of  these  trees  in  the  c&nton  of  Espe- 
lette  and  elsewhere  have  been  attacked  by  small 
black  insects,  basing  shining  bodies,  -with  six  logt 
and  small  vsiogs,  but  apparently  incapable  of  fiyiatg. 
These  Insects,  it  seems,  eat  their  way  In  beneetn  the 
bark  of  the  tree  at  the  level  of  the  ground,  sad  then 
work  round  tbe  tree  between  the  biirk  and  tbe  faazd 
wood,  up  to  a  height  of  some  IU  feet.  The  ocm^iet'

followed  by  a  species  of  worm,  which  ascends  ewa 
higher  than  the  former,  eating  channels  not  only  b* 
neath  tbe  bark,  but  ersn  Into  the  hard  wood  oc  the

Poet  Jeb\-i«,  N.  T.,  ? 
Monday,  Aug.  27,  1877.  $ 
The  sketch  of  "  The  First  Locomotive," 
printed  In  The  Tdiks  of  the  9th  Inst,  has 
giran  oocaslon  for  the  produetloa  by  several 
newspapers  of  maoh  "  Infonnatioit "  in  regard 
to  other  early  experiment*  with  steam  as  a  mo- 
tive power  on  railroads  in  this  oonntry.  APhil- 
■delphia  jonmal  prints  a  statement  that  the 
ftrst  locomotive  built  In  America,  for  effective 
Bse,  was  made  by  Tyler  &  Baldwin,  o£  that  city. 
In  1832,  and  was  ran  on  the  Gennantnwn  and 
Horrlstown  Railroad  that  same  year.  An  Al- 
iMmy  paper  insists  that  an  English  locomotive, 
-flailed  the  "  John  Bull,"  made  the  first  trip  in 
America,  with  passenger  cars,  in  1S31,  on  the 
Vohawk  and  Hudson  Baiiroad,  between  Albany 
tnd  Schenectady.  When  such  ignorance  of 
Important  historical  facts  exists  in  circles  whose 
■tembers  are  generally  supposed  to  know  where- 
of they  speak,  and  when  the  result  of  such  lack 
vt  information  is  the  giving  to  the  public  state- 
ments upon  which  future  records  of  railroad 
history  may  be  based,  it  woold  seem  to  be  time 
to  note  the  fact,  and  to  counteract  the  conse- 
qnenees  by  narrating,  from  unimpeachable  tes- 
timony, the  authentic-history  of  the  introduc- 
tion of  American-built  locomotives  on  American 
raflways. 

First,  then,  let  it  be  known  that  the  venerable 
Peter  Cooper,  of  New-York  City,  in  1829  oon- 
■tmeted  the  first  locomotive  in  America,  and  it 
Was  ran  on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad 
in  1830.  Secondly,  the  first  practical  use  of  lo- 
comotives in  this  country  was  made  by  the 
Sonth  Carolina  Railroad  in  1830— which  rail- 
road was  the  first  in  the  world  constructed  with 
a  special  view  to  the  use  of  steam.  The  Balti- 
more and  Ohio  Railroad  was  the  first  one  of 
■ny  extent  projected  In  the  United  States, 
^meeting  being  held  to  discuss  its  feasibility  on 
the  12th  of  Fehmary,  1827.  -A  charter  to 
eonstrnet  a  road  to  connect  the  waters  of  the 
£ast  with  those  of  tho  'West  wa-i  obtained  in 
April  following,  and  ground  was  broken  in 
Baltimore  on  the  4th  of  July,  1828.  Charles 
CarroU,  "  of  Corrolltou,"  laid  tho  cornerstone, 
he  being  then  over  00  years  of  aze.  "  I  eou- 
sider  this  act,"  he  said  on  the  occaslou. 
"  second  in  importance  only  to  my  signing  of 
the  Declaration  of  Indepeudence,  i^  even  it  be 
second  to  that."  The  A)ad  Was  constructed  for 
the  use  of  horse-power,  and  when  the  question 
cf  the  efficacy  of  steam-power  was  raised,  a  few 
milesof  the  road  then  beiogcompleted,  it  was  held 
that  a  locomotive  could  not  be  used  on  account 
of  the  many  sharp  curves.  Thetheory  was  then 
jthat  a  road  must  be  constructed  in  a  straight 
rBne  or  it  would  be  impossibto  for  a  locomotive 
,  to  maintain  itfielf  on  the  rails.  Among  the  iiidi- 
Ivlduals  who  did  subscribe  to  this  theory  was 
■  Peter  Cooper,  who  had  acquired  roniuderahle 
iProperty  in  the  vicinity  of  BiiUimore.  which 
the  success  of  the  railrontl  would  a^raiita- 
geonsly  affect.  On  the  24th  of  May,  lf^.^(^ 
the  railroad  was  opened  l»etwoeii  Baltimore  and 
EUioott's  Mills.  Tlie  wagons  were  first  rough 
box  cars,  and  these  were  improved  to  a  vehicle 
-resembling  a  stage  ceach.  They  ran  in  what 
Were  calleil  "brigades,"  and  were  dntwu  liy 
horses.  Some  raonth.*!  after  the  road  wtis 
opened  Ross  "Winans  constructed  and  placed 
upon  it  the  first  eight-wheeled  tnicks-ar.  Mr. 
winans*  inventive  goitius  contrived,  at 
this  carlv  day,  many  of  tho  in- 
valuable fixtures  about  the  running  gear 
of  railway  rolling  stock  which  are 
in  use  to-day.  Among  the  improved  modes  of 
motion  adopted  previous  to  the  iiiirodiiciion  of 
steam  on  the  road  was  a  machine  fitted  up  with 
an  endless,  slatted  belt,  upon  which  a  horse 
walked,  as  in  the  horse  power  of  certain  thrash- 
ing-machines. Prom  this  motion  was  given  to 
the  wheels.  The  first  railroad  **  smash-np"  on 
record  in  this  country  waa  caused  by  this  ma- 
chine. The  trial  trip  was  being  made.  Several 
of  the  leading  newspaper  men  and  politicians  of 
that  dav  were  passengers  on  the.  train.  When 
near  Ellicott's  Mills  the  novel  enpne,  having 
attained  a  speed  of  some  eight  miles  an  hour, 
came  into  collision  with  a  cow  that  had  strayed 
on  the  track.  The  car^  were  tumbled  down  the 
embankment,  and  the  horse  was  killed. 
The  passengers  escaped  with  slight  injuries,  but 
the  thrashing-machine  locomotive  was  con- 
denmed  at  once.  The  sudden  failure  of  this 
contrivance  did  not  deter  Mr.  Evau  Thoma.s, 
a  Welsh  inventor,  from  offering  a  still  moro 
novel  "mode  of  motion."  This  was  Ae  sailing- 
car,  a  basket-shaped  vehicle,  set  on  four  large 
wheels.  A'raasC  rose  from  the  centre  of  the 
car,  to  which  was  attached  a  large  sail.  If  the 
wind  was  strong,  and  in  the  right  direction,  the 
•*  Meteor,"  as  it  was  called,  would  haul  a  good 
load  at  a  fair  rate  of  speed  ;  but  head  winds 
made  it  useless,  and  it  was  soon  discarded. 

As  stated,  the  land  Mr.  (>ooper  had  purchased 
In  Baltimore  depended  for  its.  value  entirely 
on  the  success  of  the  railroad,  and  when  leading 
stockholders  in  the  company  became  discour- 
aged at  the  generally  accepted  opinion  that  the 
road  waa  too  crooked  to  admit  of  the  use  of 
steam-power  upon  it,  and  talked  of-disposing  of 
their  stock,  Mr.  Cooper  determined  'to  test  the 
correctness  of  the  theory  he  held,  that  a  locomo- 
tive coui^  run  as  well  around  curves  as  on  a 
straight  line.  He  had  a  locomotive  built  to  .  ex- 
periment with.  The  boiler  was  the  first  tubular 
boiler  ever  made,  gun-barrels  being  used  for  the 
tubes  they  suggeeted.  Itwasvertical,  aboutOfeet 
high,  furnace  and  all,  and  not  more  than  18  or 
20  Inches  in  diameter.  The  cylinder  stroke 
was  14^  inches,  the  cylinder  b^g  3I4  inches 
in  diameter.  The  machinery  was  supported  by 
»  frame  resembling  a  show-aase  of  to-day,  with 
the  glass  left  out.  There  were  four  wheels  2^2 
feet  in  diametepr.  The  fuel  was  anthra- 
cite coal,  which  was  just  then  coming 
Into  tise.  The  boiler  was  bo  small  that 
to  maintain  a  sufficient  quantity  of  steam 
artificial  draft  was  necessary.  This  Mr.  Cooper 
supplied  by  means  of  a  fan,  which  was  worked 
by  the  running  apparatus  of  the  machine. 
Motaon  was  communicat*:d  by  wheel  and  pinion 
gearing.  The  engine  was  called  the  "  Tom 
Thumb."  With  this  machine  3Ir.  Cooper  ex- 
perimented in  1829,  but  it  did  not  work  to  his 
satisfaction,  and  he  made  .such  alterations  that 
lie  felt  warranted  in  making  a  public  trial  trio 
with  it,  which  he  did  Aug.  28.  1830.  Ha  ran 
Itthe  round  trip  between  Baltimore  and  Elli- 
cott's  Miiu,  2b  miles,  pulling  four  and  a  half 
tons,  at  an  average  speed  of  12  miles  an  hour, 
turning  some  of  the  sharpest  curves  at  15  miles 
ftn  hour.  The  engine  weighed  orily  a  ton,  and 
It  waa  of  but  one-horse  power.  Although  it  was 
nothing  more  than  a  toy,  it  demonstrated  the 
jtU-important  fact  that  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Eailway  was  adapteifto  the  use  of  steam,  a  fact 
,which  the  company  was  not  slow  to  act  upon. 

The  return  trip  otMr.Coopers  locomotive  was 
attended  with  an  amusing  Incident,  which 
neutralized  somewhat  the  triumph  of  the  day. 
Stockton  &  Stokes,  the  great  stage  proprietors  of 
ante-railroad  days,  determined  to  test  the  speed 
knd  endurance  of  one  of  their  coach  horses  with 
that  of  the  "  Tom  Thumb."  They  hit«hed  a 
large  gr&y  horse  to  one  of  the  Baltimore  and 
Oluo  cars,  and  drove  out  of  Baltimore  several 
miles  on  the  second  track — for  tho  company 
had  laid  down  two — to  meet  the  excursion  train. 
They  started  back  with  it,  and  the  horse  tor  a 
time  led  the  engine.  Mr.  Cooper  was  himself 
the  engineer,  and  he  put  on  all  the  steam  his 
novel  machine  wotud  bear.  He  canght 
and  passed  the  horse  amid  the  shouts 
of  the  excursionists  in  the  car  he  waa 
lamling.  His  victory  was  brief,  however,  for 
the  machinery  working  the  blowing  apparatus 
of  his  furnace  became  disarranged,  and  before 
ho  could  again  get  it  in  order,  the  gray  horse  came 
up  and  passed  him.  and  got  so  great  a  start  that 
it  could  not  be  overtaken,  and  was  driven  into  Bal- 
timore several  minutes  ahead  of  Mr.  Cooper  and 
"  Tom  Thumb."  The  next  year  after  the  exper- 
hnent  of  Mr.  Cooper,  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Bailroad  adopted  the  use  of  locomotives  on  their 
nMtd,  the  first  practical  engine  being  built  by 
,  Fhineas  Davis,  of  York,  Penn. 

The  South  Carolina  Railroad  Company  was 
organised  on  the  12th  of  May,  1828.  Hbratio 
^  Allen  was  appointed  Chief  Engii>eer  of  the  pro- 
Socted  road.  The  enterprise  had  been  talked  of 
Kr  nearly  two  years,  and  it  was  a  gigantic  one 
for  that  day,  being  the  connecting  of  Charleston 
with  Hamburg,  in  the  western  part  of  We  State, 
^distance  of  nearly  140  miles.  Mr.  Allen  im- 
nodttio&ally  recommended  and  advocated 
that  the  load  should  be  constructed  for 
die  nee  of  steam  locomotives.  The 
"Soard  of  Directors  of  the  road  in  Jan- 
uary, 1830.  unanimously  adopted  the  views  of 
Mr.  AlloTi,  and  it  was  resolved  that  steam  only 
ahoald  be  used  on  the  South  Carolina  Railroad,

the  world  that  was  intended  from  the  begin- 
ning &>r  the  use  of  locomotives.  Amon;  tho^ 
who  went  to  England  in  1829  to  witness  the 
experiment  of  George  Stephenson  with  his  lo- 
comotive on  the  new  Liverpool  and  Manchester 
Railroad,  was  E.  L.  Miller,  Esq.,  of  Charleston. 
He  was  so  well  satisfied  with  the  workings  of 
steam  that  in  1830  he  contracted  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  locomotive  to  be  used  on 
the  South  Carolina  Railroad.  This  locomotive 
was  built  in  the  West  Point  Foundry,  in  Beach- 
street,  New- York.  It  weighed  4%  tons,  was 
called  "The  Best 'Friend  o&  Charleston,"  and 
was  the  pioneer  of  all  Amfrican-built  locomo- 
tl^s  for  actual  use.  It  was  constructed  under 
the  direction  of  Mr.  David  Matthew,  who  had 
charge  of  tho  foundry.  The  locomotive  had 
four  wheels,  each  41*2  feet  in  diameter.  The 
boiler  was  vertical,  and  was  located  where  the 
cab  is  in  the  locomotives  of  to-day.  The  cylin- 
ders were  in  the  forepart  of  the  engine,  the  en- 
gineer standing  between  them.  It  was 
transported  from  New- York  in  the  ship 
Niagara,  in  October,  1830.  It  was  put  to- 
gether by  Julius  D.  Petsoh,  foreman  of  the 
shops  of  Dotterer  &  Eason,  of  Charleston,  as- 
sisted by  N.  W.  Darrell,  who  waa  placed  in 
charge  of  the  locomotive  when  "it  was  ready  _to 
run,  thus  becoming  the  first  prjiotical  American 
engineer.  After  several  experimental  trips  tho 
engine  was  put  on  the  road  for  use  in  December, 

1830.  The  following  June  "The  Best  Friend  of 
Charle.ston"  exploded,  through  the  ignorance  of  a 
negro  fireman,  who  sat  on  flie  safety  valve  un- 
til thepressureof  steam  became  too  great  forthe 
boiler  to-  bear.  The  negro  was  scald- 
ed to '  '  death.  This  was,  doubtless, 
the  first  locomotive  boiler  explosion  on 
record,  and  the  second  known  fatal  acci- 
dent on  a  railroad.  Pending  repairs  te  the  loco- 
motive another  one,  called  ■'  The  West  Point," 
was  ordered  from  New- York.  After  the  "  Best 
Friend"  was  repaired  it  was  named  "  The 
Phoanix."  The  "  West  Point"  was  made  after 
drafts  by  Horatio  AHen,  who,  in  1831,  intro- 
duced the  first  eight-Jfrheeled  locomotive,  which 
was  also  run  upon  the  South  Carolina  Railroad. 
Nicholas  W.  Darrell,  the  original  American  en- 
gineer, died  in  Charleston  in  18G9. 

The  Mohawk  and  findaon  Railroad,  between 
Albany  and  Schenectady,  waa  the  work  of  the 
pioneer  incorporated  railroad  company  in 
America,  the  charter  being  dated  April  17, 
1826.  The  road  was  a  short  one,  and  was  not 
completed  until  1831.  Upon  it  the  third 
American  locomotive  was  run,  and,  con- 
sequently, the  statement  that  the  first  pas- 
sengerri  train  ever  drawn  by  steam  In 
America  waa  drawn  by  an  English  locomo- 
tive, on  the  Mohawk  and  Hudson  Railroad,   in 

1831,  is  not  altogether  in  accordance  with  the 
facts.  John  B.  Jervis  was  the  Chief  Engineer 
of  the  Mohawk  Road,  and  under  his  direction 
the  West  Point  Foundry  constructed  a  locomo- 
tive called  "  The  DeWitt  Clinton."  which  was 
finished  on  the  20th  of  June,  1831,  and  taken 
to  Albany  by  David  Matthews.  This  locomo- 
tive, in  appearance,  was  the  nearest  approach 
vet  made  to  those  now  in  use.  It  weighed 
3^3  tons,  and  could  run  30  miles  an  hour. 
Several  trial  trips  were  made  with  it, 
but  on  the  9th  of  August,  1831,  it  drew  the 
pioneer  passenger  train  of  New-York  State. 
There  were  three  of  the  old-fashioned  coaches, 
beside?  some  rough  cars,  in  the  train.  Among 
the  passengers  were  Thurlow  Weed,  Ex-Gov. 
Yates,  "  Billy  "  Winne,  (penny  postman,)  Era.s- 
tug  Coming.  Mayor  Meigs,  and  other  prominent 
men  of  the~"day.  David  Matthew  was  the  engi- 
neer, and  J.  T.  Clark,  Master  of  Transportation 
of  the  road,  acted  as  conductor.  The  signal  to 
startwasglvenbyhimona tinhorn.  •  Asuiecars 
were  coupled  together  by  chains,  when  the  slack 
w!is  taken  up  by  the  starting  ahead  of  the  en- 
gine thepassengers  were  jerked  out  of  their 
seats.  To  remedy  this  tho  train  was  stopped 
and  the  chain  being  drawn  taut,  a  fence  rati 
was  placed  from  the  front  of  one  car  to  the  rear 
of  another,  thus  preventing  them  from  getting 
nearer  together,  and  the  chain  from  becoming 
slack.  William  H.  Brown,  an  artist  possessing 
a  rare  talent  for  cutting  pictures  in  silhouette , 
cut  a  rcpKisentatifln  of  this  train  and  its  pas- 
sengers on  its  return  to  Albauy,  preser\'lng  the 
likenesses  of  the  latter  with  great  fidelity.  This 
picture  ho  subsequently  presented  to  the  Con- 
necticut Historical  Society.  From  it  v»rious 
lithographic  copies  have  been  made,  but  tho 
historical  inforihation  accompanying  these 
copies  as  to  what-this  picture  was  made  to  rep- 
rf-sent  h.'is  been  so  far  from  the  truth  that  the 
wide  sale  they  have  attained  should  be  a  sotirco 
of  much  regret.  It  was  from  one  of  these 
copieti,  no  dnubt,  that  the  Albany  paper  ob- 
tained its  veracious  item  of  railro»l  history. 

A  .short  time  after  the  DeWiit  Clinton  'made 
its  trip  over  the  Mohawk  and  Hudson  Roa<l  the 
company  received  a  locomotive  from  Ens:lanc]. 
It  was  called  the  "Robert  Fulton."  It  did 
not  work  as  well  as  the  American  engine.  .lohn 
B.  Jervis,  however,  was  not  fully  satisfied  with 
the  working  of  either,  and  in  the  Fall  of  1831  he 
plannml  a  locomotive  with  the  truck  >on  tlie 
front  end  of  the  iKiiler,  to  ansi.st  in  bearing 
its  weight,  and  leading  around  curves,  like  the 
fore  wheels  of  a  wagon.  The  locomotjive  was 
built  nt  the  West  Point  Foundry,  and  was  used 
a  long  time  on  the  road.  This  truck  contrivance 
was  never  patented,  and  its  value  is  attested  by 
the  fact  that  it  is  in  use  on  all  locomotives 
throughout  the  world  to-day.  "  Old  Ironsides," 
"  the  first  effective  loci>motive"  to  which  the 
well-informed  Philadelphia  paper  refers 
as  having  run  on  the  Uemiantown 
and  Momstown  Railroad  in  1832,  de- 
serves a  word  of  mention.  It  was  made  by  Mr. 
Rufus  Tyler,  in  Lodge  Alley,  Philadelphia,  who 
seems  not  to  have  heard  of  the  "  Stonebridge 
Lion."  which  ran  at  Honesdale,  Penn.,  Aug.  ». 
18-9 ;  of  Peter  Cooper's  "  Tom  Thumb."  nor  of 
the  succes.sful  locomotives  built  by  the.  West 
Point  Foundry  Company  in  1830  and  1831. 
Mr.  Tylers  locomotive  was  put  on  the  track  at 
Ninth  and  Green  streets.  Philadelphia,  some 
time  in  1832.  It  ran  a  mile  in  an  hour !  The 
wheels  were  too  light  to  draw  the  tender,  and  it 
was  placed  in  front,  which  prevented  the  wheels 
from  leaving  the  track.  Steam  was  generatedf  ast 
enough  to  keep  the  locomotive  going  only  for  a 
short  time,  when  the  parties  riding  upon  it 
would  get  off.  push  the  engine  until  it  got  up  some 
speed,  and  then  jump  on  and  ride,  until  they 
reached  Germantown.  They  were  making  the 
return  trip  in  the  same  way,  when  the  water 
froze  up.  and  the  passengers  had  to  build  a  fire 
under  it  to  thaw  it  out.  After  several  hours  of 
effort  the  "first  effective  locomotive"  was  re- 
turned to  Philadelphia. 

Some  months  after  Peter  Cooper  made  hia  suc- 
cessful experiment  with  hia  "  Tom  Thumb"  lo- 
comotive, the  Baltimore  and  Susquehanna  Rail- 
road— which  has  now  grown  to  be  the  important 
Northern  Central — imported  a  locomotive  from 
England.  It  was  a  very  handsome  machine, 
but  it.s  constmction  wa.s  such  that  it  would  not 
run  successfully  on  the  roads,  and  it  waa  al- 
tered to  suit  the  conditions  required.

TIfE  LA.N1>  OF  ROSES. 
It  is  probably  not  generally  knomi  that  tho 
region  lu  which  Hen.  Goarkho  has  been  lately  operat- 
ing with  Ills  tossacks.  Is  the  land  wtience  by  far  the 
greatest  quantity  of  attar  of  rosea  comes  to  Western 
Europe.  Kasanlik,  the  name  of  which  has  so  often 
figured  daring  the  past  fortnight  as  a  point  of  strate- 
gical importance,  is  also  the  centre  of  one  of  the  most 
remarkable  species  of  horticultore,  or  rather  agri- 
culture, to  be  found  in  the  whole  world.  Around  it, 
or  near  it,  are  the  districts  of  Cripan^  Qiopca, 
Karadshfth-Daph.  iCojun-Tepe, "  Yeni-Saghra,  all  of 
which  are  devoted  to  this  peculiar  husbandly.  Tho 
Mussulman  tradittou  assigns  the  origin  of  the  rose  to 
the  night  of  Mahammed's  journey  to  heaven.  The 
white  ruses  siirang  from  the  drops  of  sweat  which 
fell  from  the  blessed  forehead  of  the  prophet 
himself  in  the  toilsome  a<)cent :  the  sweat  of  Borak, 
the  miraeuloua  animal  be  rode,  gave  birth  to  the 
yellow  ones  ;  while  tho  celestial  drops  which  fell 
from  Gabriel  w«re  tho  source  of  the  red  rose.  The 
appearance  of  the  neigUborbood  of  Kasanlik  would 
favor  a  suspicion  that  the  heavenward  journey  must 
have  sorely  tried  the  Archangel ;  and  Coxint  Von 
Jloltke,  who  was  well  ac<iuainted  with  Bulgaria  and 
the  Balkans,  has  styled  the  Valley  of  the  Tundja 
*'the  Cashmero  of  Europe,  the  Turkish  Golistan, 
the  hind  of  roses."  Roses  aro  not  grown 
there  in  isolated  patches  in  gardens,  but  in  fields 
and  in  ridges  as  if  tney  were  no  better  than  potatoes. 
Jt  woitld  be  difBcult  to  imagine  anythuig  more 
charming  than  the  appearance  of  those  rose  fields  ; 
and  any  painter  who  should  attempt  to  reproduce 
this  picture  would  assuredly  be  charged  with  exasger- 
ation.  But  it  would  be  Impossible  to  catch  the  In- 
finite alternations  of  color  both  among  tho  roses 
themselves  and  the  green  leaves  of  the  shrubs.  Hun- 
dreds of  millions  of  rose-leaves  strew  tho  ground, 
and  are  useless  for  the  chief  object  in  view.  It  Is 
calculated  tliat  about  one-fburtb  of  the  leaves  are  lost 
in  ^Is  way;  perbspa  as  much  more  either  fail  to 
come  to  the  requisite  perfection  or  are  unavoidably 
wasted.  The  entire  TOoduee  of  the  Tekne,  or  region, 
of  which  Kasanlik  is  the  centre,  is  estimated  at 
between  800  and  900  kilogrammes  (from  195 
to  220  imperial  gallons)  of  rose-oil.  The  wealth  of 
water  in  the  valley  is  prodieions ;  springs  are  notonly 
numerons,  but  most  abundant  in  yield.  There  is  a 
general  system  of  irrigation  which,  remembering  that 
the  country  is  Bulgaria  and'  not  Lombardy.  is  admira- 
ble. The  whole  valley  was  a  picture  of 
prosperitv,  the  result  of  natural  fertility  care- 
fully tended  by  human  industry.  "Where 
roses  axe  not  coltlrated,  h^avy  crops  of 
maize  are  gathered,  and  along  the  slopes  and 
down  by  the  waterside  are  numerous  herds  and 
flocks.  Kasanlik  itself  is  a  town  of  10,000  inhabi- 
tants, and  is  surrounded  by  magnificent  wiUnut 
woods,  which  also  are  a  source  of  commeroial  indus- 
try. Von  Moltke  speaks  of  the  sitnation  as  one  of 
the  rarest  beauty.  Many  of  the  trees,  ha,  says, 
cover  an  extent  of  100  feet  with  their  spreading 
brain^hes,  while  countless  wild  pigeons  fill  the 
woods  with  their  eoolng.  The  murmuring  or  the 
rush  of  waters  Is  heard  in  every  direc- 
tion ;  the  sky  itself  presents  perpetuaUT  ebang- 
^y^g  aspects  by  reason  of  the  nei^boriDg

Qetkui^ObdibiNo.  88.— The  following  circu- 
lafu  Issued  June  16(  1875,  from  ^he  Head-quarters 
'EHviaion  of  the^,Pfccific,  is,  on  the  recommendation 
of  the  Parmaster.Oeneral,  adopted  as  the  rule  for  tho 
Armv :  \VhiJe  General  Order  No.  75.  War  Depart- 
ment, Adjutant-General's  Office,  directs  disbj^xeing 
officers  to  refuse  pa^'ment  on  telegraph  communica- 
tions which  appear  to  have  oeen  sent  on 
private  businesa,  and  on  commonioatlQns 
wliidi  there  was.  no  necessity  to  send  by 
telegraph,  there  is  yet  forced  upon  the  Govern- 
ment great  and  unnecassary  expense  arising 
from  the  number  of  needless  words  used  in  tele- 
graphic communications.  An  examination  of  a  num- 
ber of  telegrams  received  at  these  hesd-ovarters  con- 
taining over  75  words  shows  that  one-naif,  and,  in 
some  eases,  oae-third  the  numlier  of  words  would 
have  convoyed  tlie  information.  It  is  necessary  to 
effect  economy  In  this  matter,  and  officers  in  tills  di- 
vision, before  sending  off  dlspstchos,  particularly 
when  they  contain  more  than  25  words,  will  care- 
fully strike  out  every  word  not  important  to  the 
sense  of  the  communication.  Tho  words  if,  o/,  a, 
and  the  can  nearly  always  be  omitted.  As  it  generally 
requires  fewer  words  to  address  the  office  than  the 
officer,  and  as  a  dispatch  thus  addressed  will  more 
certainly  reach  its  aestiuatign  and  be  received  with- 
•out  doubt  as  to  its  officii  cimracter,  this  practice  is 
enjoined,  and  officers  at  division  and  department

irOBE  ABOUT  CAPT.   CRAPO  8  VOTMSB. 

The  New- Bedford  (Mass.)  Mercury  publishes 
a  letter  from  Capt  Crapo  and  some  extracts  from  a 
little  volume  which  has  been  published  in  Eogland, 
in  which  the  Captain  "spins  his  yam,"  giving  de- 
tails of  his  experience  in  crossing  the  Atlantic  in  a 
20-foot  boat  He  says  he  has  crossed  the  *'big 
drink"  21  times,  that  he  is  not  a  Captain  except  of  ^ 
the  New-Bedford,  never  having  risen  above  flrat 
mate.  He  undertook  this  last  venture  from  a  desire 
to  outdo  everjlblng  preWously  recorded  in  the  way 
of  crossing  the  ocean  iu  a  small  boat.  His  wife 
accompanied  :  him  l>ecau&e  she  could  not  con* 
sent  to    his     going    alone.    The    passage    was    a 

eiod  deal  rougher  than  be  had  anticipated  ;  it  yr/M 
ke  a  bad  Winter  passage,  nnd  had  they  not  suc- 
ceedetl  in  getting  from  passing  vessels  fresh  meat, 
broad,  and  water  their  fate  would  hav^  been  sealed 
before  they  reached  England,  lliough  they  liad  taken 
a  supply  of  corned  muats,  fisli.  and  fruit  calculated  to 
last  thrnugh.  even  if  more  thnn  ordinarily  delayed. 
Tlio  oulyexcitemeOt  (^xiwricncod  was  when,  on  two  or 
three  occasions,  they  found  themselves  in  a  school  of 
whales,  whose  spoutimr  and  blustering  frichtened 
Mrs.  (.Vapo. "'  In  rough  weather,  sometimes  for  two 
or  three  days  at  a  tiiue,  they  woi^ld  lie  to  attached 
to  a  drug  or  buoy,  and  on  these  occasions  the  Cap- 
tain col  most  rest,  for  when  favorable  wind*  pre- 
vailed he  dared  not  leave  the  helm  for  a  momen|. 
In  fine  weather  he  ni'ver  took  more  than  four 
hoars'  rest  a  day.  Once  he  kept  at  his  post-74Hn>urs 
consecutively  without  rest.  His  w if 5  had  scarcely^a 
pwd  nl;;ht's  rest  during  the  whole  voyage,  which  op- 
cupled  40  days.  Tliev  spoke  a  dozen  vessels  aiSd 
steamships,  and  were  Kindly  treMe<l  by  all.  Once 
the  rudder  of  the  boat  was  twisted  off,  but  an  e^ra 
one  was  at  hand.  His  wife  has  now  crossed  the  ocean 
four  times,  but  will  never  do  the  journey  again  in  so 
small  a  crafc  nor  would  the  (.'untain,  for  he  declare?! 
the  ta-sk  a  great  deal  ruuplior  than  he  looked  for.  The

her  keel  Is  13  feet :  her  total  length  U  barely  20

WTTCncIiSFT  Jy  FXOLAXn. 
An  old  man,  ag<?<l  8fi,  livinj?  at  Wcstdown, 
near  Barnstaple,  was  charged  recently  with  using 
certain  .subtle  craft,  meaus  or  device,  by  palmistry 
and  otherwise,  to  deceive  and  impose  on  certain  of 
her  Majesty's  subjects.  For  some  time  a  woman, 
named  ^lizabeth  Sanders,  llvingat  Bishopsnympton, 
had  been  ill.  Doctors  had  been  of  no  avail,  and  on 
^>atnrday,  Au^.  4,  her  husband  sent  for  a  man  named 
Harper,  who  IS  known  by  the  name  of  the  "■  White 
Wltoh,"  but  who  calls  himself  a  herbalist.  He  went 
to  the  house  of  deceased,  ft^lt  her  pulse,  and  said  that 
he  did  not  know  whet  her  he  could  do  her  any  good, 
as  he  was  only  a  humble  instrument  in  the  hands 
of  God.  He  gave  her  four  or  five  iron  rods 
in  succession,  with  which  she  tapped  a 
piece  of  iron  held  in  the  other  hand 
while  lying  in  bed.  At  the  eml  of  the  rods  were  the 
names  of  different  planets,  such  as  Jupiter  and  Mer- 
cury. Defendant  also  asked  the  age  of  the  womau, 
and  the  hour  she  was  bom.  Raying  ne  wanted  to  find 
out  under  ^hat  planet  ^ihe  was  bom.  He  gave  her 
some  bitters  to  take,  but  she  died  a  few  days  after- 
ward. The  defense  was  that  the  rods  rtnd'  piece  of 
metal  waa  a  rude  means  of  luing  electricity,  by  wiiich 
the  defendant  had  made  many  cures,  but  no  explana- 
tion was  given  as  to  tbe  meaning  of  the  names  of  the 
planets.  It  was  proved  that  the  White  Witch 
charged  the  woman  25  shillings  for  hi.s  services, 
stayed  in  the  house  five  hours,  and  had  a  glass  of 
rum  and  some  biscuits.  Several  witnesses  were 
called,  who  proved  having  been  cured  of  had  legs  and 
bad  arms  by  the  defendant's  magic  rods  when  nobodv 
else  could  help  them.  The  Bemch  sentenced  the  old 
wizard  to  a  month's  imprisonment.  Xotloe  was 
given  of  appeal,  and  be  was  bailed  out. 

THE  WRITER'S  CRAMP. 
A  paper  read  by  M.  Boullland  before  a  recent 
meeting  of  the  French  Academy  of  Sciences  gives 
an  account  of  his  further  researches  relative  to 
lesions  of  the  brain.  In  his  former  communications 
he  demonstrated  that  the  loss  of  speech  was  doe  to  a 
malady  of  the  third  circumvolution  of  the  left  an- 
terior lobe  of  that  org;an.  He  now  goes  farther,  and 
asserts  that  the  three  faculties  whioh  essentially  dis- 
tinguish man  from  otlier  animals — speech,  reading, 
and  writing — are  «acb  controlled  by  separate  portions 
of  the  brain.  In  hi«  researches  he  discovered  that 
the  paralysis  of  one  of  tliose  functions  could  exist 
without  the  others  being  affectetl,  and  he  gives  as  an 
example  a  case  in  which  he  was  called  to  a  c onaultatiou 
on  a  young  man,  whose  avocations  compelled  Idm 
to  write  conlintially.  At  ftrst  the  patient  had  felt  a 
slight  "weakness  in  writing,  then  a  great  difficulty, 
and  finally,  an  absolute  loss  of  the  faculty.  The  re- 
snit  of  the  closest  examination  could  not  detect  any 
defect  In  the  mtwcles  of  the  arm  or  hand,  the  latter 
retaining  all  its  sensitiveness  and  power  for  every 
other  purpose  than  that  of  writing,  and  all  his  other 
functions  being  normal  and  in  pood  condition.  The 
conclusion  arrived  at  was  that  the  aouree  of  the  In^ 
flrmity  must  not  be  sought  for  in   the  external  or- 

fans.  Lot  in  the  centre  itself  of  nervous  action — the 
rain.  The  young  man  was  advised  to  learn  to  <frit6 
with  the  left  hand,  which  he  rapidly  succeeded  in 
doing.  The  def^pt  from  which  he  stiffered  had  long 
been  known  as  writvrV  cramp,  jnst  as  the  loss  of 
speech  was  for  centuries  termed  paralyi^s  of  the 
tonsue.  3oth  designations  were  equally  Acroneous, 
both  being  now  attributed  to  maladies  of  certain 
portions  at  the  brain. 

ROMXy  REMllSH  IN  PARIS. 
A  Paris  correspondent  ■writes  :  **  An  interest- 
ing discovery  has  been  made  by  some  workmen  who 
are  pulling  down  the  old  houses  which  are  to  make 
room  for  the  new  boulevard  connecting  the  National

court-yard  of  a  house  iu  the  Rue  d'Argenteuil,  at  a 
depth  of  about  five  feet  from  the  surface,  they  came 
upon  two  skeletons,  I^d  side  by  side,  but  placed  ob- 
hqnely.  The  chest  of  ono  of  those  skeletons  was  still 
prominent,  and  the  ribs  seemed  to  be  in  a  good  state 
of  preservation.  A  third  skeleton  was  found  at  right 
angles  to  the  two  others.  At  their  head  and  at  their 
feet  were  several  vases  and  medals,  one  of  which  was  so 
much  oxydated  that  the  inscriptions  upon  It  were 
flle^blo.  The  other  medals,  which  data  from^  Con- 
stantine  and  his  sou  Crispus,  are  of  bronze,  and  in 
an  excellent  state  of  preservation.  The  Constantlne 
medal  is  0.6693  of  an  inch  in  diameter,  with  the 
laureled  head  of  Constantlne  and  the  inscription,

n>presented  himself  as  a  collector,  and  said  that  he 
would  collect  all  his  bills  and  make  a  weeklv  report 
for  ono  year  for  $12.  McCal>e  gave  him  $'4  on  ac- 
count and  he  collected  $2.  for  wWch  he  made  no  re- 
turn. The  court  held  that  as  Fisher  represented  tho 
Guaranty  Mercantile  Association  onlv  as  an  agent 
he  could  not  be  lieUI.  On  this  technicality  the  pris- 
oner was  discharged. 

A  BOOTH  I  EF  BELD  FOR  TRIA  L. 
John  Murphy,  described  by  the  Police  as  "a 
pugilistic  bummer,"  at  one  time  owned  a  very  valua- 
ble English  bull-terrier  called  Sprite.  Sprite  was  a 
highly  trained  canine.  He  could  walk  on  his  two 
front  feet,  jump  the  hoop,  and  do  other  curious 
things.  In  addition  to  other  accomplishments  he 
had  considerable  patriotism  instillec'  into  his  train- 
ing, for  when  asked  whether  be  liad  rather  be  a  aebel 
or  a  Union  man,  and  die  for  his  country,  he  would 
lie  down  and  feign  death,  thus  slion4ug  that  he 
would  willingly  lay  down  his  Uf©  for  the  .Stars  and 
.Stripes.  Murphy  finally  had  to  sell  Sprite.  Henry 
Byrne  bought  him.  and  went  to  such  trouble  to  com- 
plete his  education  that  Sprite  became  known  as  the 
finest  triok  dog  in  the  eountr\-.  and  at  the  late 
Bench  Show  In  this  Citv  took  the  $20  gold  prize. 
His  value  was  set  down  at  $500.  As  Si.rite's  repu- 
tation and  value  increased.  Murphy's  regret  grew 
greater,  and  many  were  the  devices  he  resorted  to  to 
repossess  lumself  of  the  terrl^-r.  On  last  Saturday 
morning  ii\Tne  was  promenading  the  Bower>-  with 
Sprite,  and  the  latter  was  properly  collared  and  muz- 
zled. Murphy  saw  the  dog  running  aloht*.  and  cov- 
eted him  ijo  strongly  that  he  determined  to  "Kobble" 
:hlm.  Watching,  his  chance  he  noti(*ed  Sprite  run 
around  the  comer  of  Houston -street,  considerably 
ahead  of  his  master.  Mitrphy  at  once  picked  him 
up  and  ran  awny.  When  B\-me  arrived  at  tho  cor- 
ner he  missed  Sprite,  and  while  eagerly  searcliing  for 
him  he  was  Informed  bv  Francis  Wscker,  a  jeweler, 
of  No.  279  Bowery.  tKat  Murphy  had  stolen  the 
dog,  and  taken  him  into  McLalley's  saloon,  on  the 
comer  of  Eiizabeth  and  Houston  streets.  Securing 
the  services  of  a  poli«»mau,  he  went  Ii»  and  had  the 
dog-thief  arrested.  Murphy  was  taken  before  Jus- 
tice Wandell,  In  Jeffersou  Market  Police  Court, 
yeiterdny  morning,  and  committed  for  trial  in  de- 
fault of  $5O0  ball.

CLEVER  CAPTCKE  OF  A  HORSE  THIEF.- 
On  the  loth  inst.  a  tall  well  dressed  man 
called  at  the  livery  stable  of  Whitfield  Van  Cott, 
and  ordered  a  horse  and  buggy.  Van  Cott  demanded 
pay  hi  advance,  which  the  stranger  refused  on  the 
ground  that  he  did  not  know  how  long  he  might 
want  to  use  the  property.  '*  My  name  is  Ferguson," 
said  he;  "I  board  at  the  New- York  Hotel,  where 
you  may  make  any  inquiri^es  about  me  you  wish,  and 
if  satisfactory  send  the  carriage  over  in  half  an  hour." 
Van  Cott  inquired  at  the  New  York  Hotel,  and  Was 
told  by  the  managers  that  Mr.  Fei^ruson  was  a  per- 
fect geutleman  and  responsible.  Feiguson  accord- 
ingly got  the  horse  and  carriage,  which  were  worth 
$1,000.  Not  returning  with  it  within  a  reasonable 
time,  Van  Cott  again  went  to  the  hotel  and  learned 
that  the  Ferguson  who  boarded  there  was  an  elderly 
man  who  was  atUl  there,  while  the  Fer^son  who  had 
patronised  him  was  uot  kn^wn  tlvere  at  all.  Van 
Cott  then  complained  at.  the  Central  Office,  but 
no  one  there  knew  iin>-thing  about  Ferguson.  In- 
spector Dilks  told  him  to  go  to  Detective  Philip 
Reilly.  of  the  Thirty-fourth  Preoinct.  who  might 
know  him.  When  Van  Cott  described  hia  customer 
to  Rielly,  the  latter  exclaimed.  "Why,  that's 
Henry  Campbell,  alia-s  '  English  Horrv.'  of 
London  J  I  know  hipi.  He  hangs  out  at  Philadel- 
phia." Rielly  whs  at  onre  st-nt  after  him.  He  found 
him  in  Philadelphia  on  Monday  night,  arrested  him. 
and  brouBht  him  to  this  City.  Before  nmking  the  ar. 
rest  the  detective  hunted  up  the  stolen  property.  He 
found  the  buggy  for  sale  at  an  auctlon-hous'a,  the 
harness  at  a  saddlery  store,  and  the  horse  at  pasture 
on  afajm  11  miles  outside  of  tho  city,  lie  i'^'lzedafl 
the  prdpertV  and  brought  it  home,  together  with  the 

riri-soner.  Ferguson  wxs  arraigned  yesterdav  mom- 
ns  in  Jeffenton  >Iarkot  Polioe"  Court,  before"  .To<itiro 
Wandell,  anj  committed  for  trial  in  default  of  $1,5()0. 


"AFRAID  OF  THE  GJl.YC." 
Patrick  Dougherty,  of  No.  3'J  Thompson- 
street,  an  old  man,  whose  frame  is  bent  with  age,  was 
the  complainant  yesterday  in  the  Court  of  Special 
Sessions  in  a  case  of  assault  and  battery,  the  defend- 
ant belDg  James  Thompson.  The  old  man  presaoA^T^v 
a  pitiful  appearance  ;  both  his  eyes  were  blackened, 
and  the  marks  on  his  face  were  conclusive  evidence 
that  ho  had  been  used  roughly.  When  the  case  was 
called,  Patrick  sai*^  he  wanted  to  withdraw  the 
charge,  but  tho  court,  aftei?  inquiring  into  his  reason 
for  so  doing,  would  not  permit  it.  Dougher- 
ty,  on  beiug  asked  for  an  explanation,  said,    "Well, 

Sour  Honor,  the  whole  trouble  is  I'm  ^aid  of  my 
fe  of  the  gang."  The  complainant  stated  that  on 
last  Friday  night,  while  comg  out  of  the  house  to 
search  for  his  son,  he  was  approached  by  a  gang  of 
loafers,  who  "hang  out"  in  the  vicinity,  and  James 
Thompson,  who  seemed  to  l>e  the  ringleader,  dealt 
him  some  terrible  blows,  beating  and  lacking  him  la 
a  most  bmtal  manner,  for  .which  James  was  sentenced 
to  spend  the  next  six  months  In  the  Penitentiary.

caase.  When  Flannigan  was  sent  on  post  he  was  di- 
rected to  arrest  all  liquor-dealers  found  violating  the 
Excise  law.  He  had  only  been  on  post  a  short  time 
when  he  got  drunk  and  amused  himself  by  swaggering 
into  the  stores  on  his  beat  and  threatening  to  arrest 
the  propriettirs.  Finally  he  made  his  way  into  the 
apartments  of  Michael  Flood,  the  proprietor'  of  a 
liquor  storu  at  Sixteenth-street  and  Thlrd-avenoe, 
and  arrested  Flood  while  eating  supper  with  his 
family.  He  then  went  into  the  bird  store  of  a  man 
named  Meyer  and  arrested  him  for  "violating  the 
Excise  law."  At  the  station-hoose  the  prisoners 
were  discharged  and  the  officer  was  detained.  This 
model  policeman  will  be  plafii^d  on  trial  next  week 


FOREIGN  BUSINESS  INTERESTS. 


Lo.vDox,  Aug.  28Vr-The  annual  pamphlet  bv 
Me.^srs.  Bartheln;y  A  Ertienne.  of  Marseilles,  on  Prencli 
harvest  pro8p«'('tK.  says:  "The  prospects  of  the  wheat 
harx'est  in  2  dei»artmt*ntR  are  ver>' good  ;  In  16.  good; 
In  2.  pretty  good ;  In  32.  uoor,  and  in  9.  bad.  7*be  oat 
pro.-^nt'ct  in  verv  gootl  in  4  departments,  Kood  in  27, 
pretty  (;ood  in  28,  poor  In  21.  and  bad  in  2.  The  rye 
prospect  is  verv  good  in  4  deiiartmentrt,  good  in  10," 
pretty  eood  In  15.  poor  in  H2.  ana  very  bad  In  1 1." 

Th«  ilark'tane  hxpresn  in  its  usual*  weekly  review  of 
the  British  com  trade,  payii :  '•  The  weather  has  been  vf  ry 
umiettled  during  tlie  put  week,  and  •farmers  have  been 
considerably  delaved  In  stacking  and  thrashing  wheat, 
although  cutting  has  lieen  carried  on  without  much  in- 
terrupt ton.  Sunshine  in  now  wanted  to  harden  the 
grain  and  rheck  the  tendency  to  sprouting.  The  thunder- 
ct^jrms  in  tlie  midland  counties,  r^-fcrrftd  to  last  week, 
did  a  good  deal  of  damage,  bat  It  li  considered  that  the 
vield  of  wheat  on  th«  fen  lundjf  wiU  be  about  an  avorago. 
KetK>rt8  vary  repirdlng  barlry  and  oats,  but  tht-  crops 
are  much  hnprovt-d.  With  a  fair  spell  of  drv 
Wt-athtT  tliey  would  bt^  ready  for  ruuplng  ncCt 
wt*flk.  In  Ijeotlaud  cert-als  are  makiug  imusuallv 
sl'>w  progr«is  under  the  retanling  inHuenco  of  wet 
Weather,  but  apuearances  indicate  afKlr>ieM  of  grain 
althongh  of  inferior  quality,  wlule  there  isolsogood 
promise  of  abunaant  utraw.  The  root  crops  have  been 
beiiettted  by  rain.  Tumipii  and  mangels  promise  well, 
but  i-omplaints  of  the  potato  disease  increase.  The  agri- 
pultnral  retujm.s  sliow  that  the  area  planted  witn  wheat 
thlsyearlsabout  3.IU8,0O0  acres-  Thisli  about  172.. "iOO 
acre?  In  excess  of  last  year,  but  about  the  same  quantity 
less 'ban  1^7"),  It  alsoappears  that  compareil  with  last 
vftar  barley  and  oats  have  been  sown  ui>oa  a  illehtly 
dimlnisheixarea.  The  prosecution  of  har\'est  work  has 
BO  entirely  engaged  farmers  lately  that  there  ha*  been 
very  httle  business  in  the  country-  markets,  but  where 
gales  aro  made  prices  Iridieafo  a  fall  of  Is.  ^ 
quarter  on  wheat  since  last  Monday.  The  fyw  lots  of  uew 
wheat  shown  iu  the  Prorincial  EreJianKes  have  been  In 
poor  coDditloii.  and  warcely  fit  f"r  weseut  use,  but  the 
diiidition  of  ft  majority  of  the  samples  offered  ut  Mark- 
lim«  on  Monday  lort'waa  tolerably  good.  Sale*  wer© 
inttile  ttt  (i4«.  for  white  and  Glit.  for  red  de«criptiouR.  Al- 
tli ouch  no  KTeat  activity  is  ever  looked  for  in  the  praiji 
trade  during  harvest  time,  the  depTvusion  was  greater 
than  usual  during  the  paat  week.  Owing  to  enormous 
arrivals  of  foreign  wheat  aild  oat*  the  supplies  have  been 
upon  a  lurte  .s«-alo  for  some  weeks  past  and  the  rfttim 
on  MonduvTu;it  gttve  over  92,0(Kt  ((parter^.  while  nubse- 
queiit  arrival."  up  to  Friday  have  amounted  to  55,120 
quarters.  prices  liave  necessarily  given  way,  and 
a  decline  of  2a.  to  3a.  per  quarter  waa 
quoted  last  SfoinUy  on  wheat,  and  fully  In. 
on  outs.  Other  articles  remain  without  much  variation, 
but  the  trade  is  generally  ovcrweighte<l  by  supplieii  which

The  Eepublican  State  Convention  will 
meet  at  Eochester  four  weeks  from  to-day  to 
nominate  candidates  for  State  officers,  and 
"  for  the  transaction  of  other  appropriate 
business."  The  call  defines  the  essential 
bond  of  Republican  electors  to  be 
ihe  "  support  of  an  honest  and  economical 
administration  of  Federal,  State,  and 
municipal  affairs,"  and  thereby  recognizes 
the  paramount  importance  of  practical 
questions  of  gOTemment  in  the  campaign. 
Let  the  delegates  to  the  fconyention  be 
elected  because  of  their  competence  to  deal 
with  such  questions,  and  we  are  likely  to 
have  a  ticket  which  will  commend  success  by 
des  erving  it.  The  campaign  in  this  City  wiU 
turn  upon  considerations  of  honest  and  eco- 
nfimieal  admrnistration,  and  it  needs  only 
t/j  be  kept  there  to  the  exclusion  of  all 
iiypocritical  humbug  about  a  "  straight  Re- 
publican" ticket  to  secure  a  result  that 
will  save  the  party  majority  in  the  interior 
of  the  Sta,te  from  being  neutralized. 


'  The -rumor  that  the  President  and  Cabi- 
net were  considering  the  possibility  of  dis- 
pensing with  the  extra  session  of  Congress 
altogether  is  "authoritatively"  denied  by 
the  Associated  Press  this  morning.  As  we 
suggested  when  the  report  was  first  circu- 
lated, the  circumstances  which  made  an 
B3  fra  session  necessary  have  not  materially 
o'nanged,  or,  in  so  far  as  they  have 
tehanged,  render  the  session  more  impersi- 
tively  requisite.  The  pay  of  the  Army 
especially,  according  to  the  War  Depart- 
ment, must  be  provided  for,  if  possible,  by 
the  15th  of  November  at  the  latest,  and  this 
leaves  only  a  month  for  organization  and 
the  always  tedious  preliminaries  of  legisla- 
tion. The  proclamation  calling  Congress 
together  on  the  15th  of  October  will  not  be 
revoked. 


The  reception  by  the  Democratic  press 
ef  Mr.  Roosevelt's  letter  to  the  Mayor  is 
somewhat  amusing.  Mr.  Roosevelt  sug- 
gested that  as  laborers  were  wUling  to  work 
for  75  cents  a  day,  and  as  the  City  had 
»  good  deal  of  work  to  do,  consider- 
ations of  public  policy  and  of  hu- 
manity demanded  that  some  special 
feffort  should  be  made  to  have  the  work 
]done.  Thereupon,  one  Kelly  organ 
refers -Mr.  Roosevelt  to  the  experience 
of  the  "National  Workshops"  of  M.  Louis 
Blanc  and  his  associates,  while  another 
sheet,  said  to  be  chiefly  owned  by  Kelly 
himself,  enunciates  the  startling  doctrine' 
tb,at  "it  is  a  false  and  pernicious  principle 
for  a  municipality  to  hire  men  to  work  for  the 
teake of  givingthem occupation."  Sincewhen 
has  Tammany  Hall  learned  so  much  wis- 
dom f  It  is  only  a  year  ago  since  the  Kelly 
organization  passed  resolutions  condemning 
the  action  by  which  the  pay  of  the  City 
laborer  was  reduced  from  $2  to  $1  60  a 
day ;  it  was  no  later  than  Kovember  last 
that  Kelly  declared  that  it  was  both  "  nn- 
fortunate "  and  "impolitic"  that  the  C5ty 
laliorer  should  have  been  compelled  to  work 
Kt  something  like  market  rates,  and  that 
both  he  and  his  organization  had  done 
everything  in  their  power  to  prevent  it. 
The  essential  difference  between  the  "  so- 
cialism "of  Mr.  BoosTTixT  and  that  of 
Kelly  and  his  gang  ia  that  the  former  rex>- 
resents  the  honest  impulse  of  a  wai;m- 
hearted  and  syinx>athetio  friend  of  the  poor, 
while  the  latter  is  merely  one  of  the  tricks 
hy  which  a  coarse  and  vulg^ar  dezDa^ogae 
attentpta  to  deceive  the^  class  whose  votes 
^ep  him  in  power,  and  whose  earnings  con- 
pOata  ta  tiu  vBQoort  of  the  DoUtio*!  tad 


in  repairing  its  streets,  which— motives  of 
humanity  apart — ^it  would  be  wise  and  profit- 
able to  have  do:^  now.  The  Mayor  did  his 
best  to  secure  the  requisite .  appropriation 
for  that  purpose,  as  did  the  Commissioner  of 
Public  Works.  It  was  inserted  in  the  budget 
by  Controller  Green,  but  it  wasjstricken 
out  by  John  Kelly,  so  as  to  allow  "  Ton  " 
DuNLAP,  "Billy"  Boyd,  "Ed"  Gale, 
and  other  of&cials  of  Tammany  Hall  to 
draw  extravagant  aalaTies  from  the  City, 
while  at  the  same  time  deluding  the  people 
with  false  professions  of  economy.  Tam- 
many Hall  has  educated  the  City  laborer 
to  look  upon  steady  employment  and 
liberal  wages  as  one  of  his  rights 
as  a  citizen ;  but  it  has,  when  it 
had  a  chance  to  serve  the  laboring 
men,  deliberately  preferred  the  interests  of 
a  set  of  official  loafers  who  fill  the  high 
places  of  its  organization.  The  trouble 
which  it  has  now  to  face  is  of  its  own  mak- 
ing, and  it  is  likely  to  find  in  1.877,  as  in 
1875,  that  even  the  laborer  is  shrewd  enough 
to  know  in  politics  the  difference  between 
frankness  and  Jesuitical  cunning. 


The  letter  of.  our  fecial  correspondent 
at  Bucharest  alludes  to  the  low  spirits  and 
irritability  of  the»Czar,  a  cable  telegram 
staltes  that  his  health  is  so  bad  that  he  has 
been  advised  to  change  his  residence  to 
a  healthier  locality  than  the  head- 
quarters 'of  the  Army,  and  a  Ber- 
lin rumor  credits  bim  with  a  very 
earnest  desire  for  peace.  There  can  be 
little  doubt  that  the  Emperor  went  to 
war  against  his  will,  and  there  is 
cumulative  testimony  to  show  that 
he  is  decidedly  tired  of  it.  Still, 
it  would  be  obviously  premature  to  con- 
clude that  the  war  is  likely  to  end 
in  a  patched-up  compromise.  It  is  hard 
to  see  how  Russia  can  end  the  contest 
short  of  a  decisive  victory  or  abso- 
lute exhaustion..  If  we  may  judge 
from  the  obstinacy  of  the  struggle 
which  is  being  waged  for  the  possession 
of  the  Schipka  Pass,  the  firet  is  not  likely 
to  be  forthcoming  this  year,  and  it  will 
need  at  least  another  campaign  to  bring 
about  anything  approaching  to  the  latter 
result. 

TME  SOUTH  AND  THE  DEMOCRATIC 
PAMIT. 
Amid  the  chorus  of  bitter  scolding  at  Mr. 
Key  for  his  recent  speeches,  with  which  the 
Southern  press  has  been  largely  filled  for 
the  past  ten  days,  it  is  refreshing  to  find 
some  Southern  journals  showing  ai  marked 
degree  of  common  sense.  Probably  those 
who  have  rated  the  Postmaster-General 
most  soundly  have  fairly  represented 
the  spirit  of  their  readers.  The 
great  body  of  the  white  people  of  the  South 
are  unquestionably  still  irritated  by  any- 
thing which  reflects  on  their  pride  of  sec- 
tion or  implies  that  the  Confederate  cause 
was  not  a  good  one  heroically  maintained. 
A  very  large  part  of  them  also  are  in  ill 
humor  with  the  North,  and  are  not 
only  ready  to  take  offense  at  such  ex- 
pressions as  Mr.  Key's,  but  are  never  loth 
to  ' '  get  even  "  with  a  Northern  man  or  a 
Northern  party  whenever  the  opportunity 
offers.  But  there  are  many  and  important 
exceptions  to  this  state  of  mind.  There  are 
several  classes  of  Southerners  who.  do  not 
sympathize  with  the  excessive  irritability 
shown  recently,  and  who  are  not  only  willing 
but  anxious  to  bury  the  past — their  part  in 
it  and  our  own  as  weU — and  to  turn  their 
faces  resolutely  toward  the  future. 

Of  these  classes  a  considerable  one  is 
made  up  of  comparatively  young  men,  with 
active  business  faculties,  eager  to  get  on  in 
the  world,  intelligent  and  observing,  who 
see  in  this  continual  whining  and  snapping 
at  every  fancied  affront  connected  with  the 
war  a  serious  obstacle  to  the  mate- 
rial prosperity  of  the  sectiqp.  They 
recognize  the  fact  that  the  South  has 
great  natural  resources  and  a  con- 
siderable body  of  fairly  effective  laborers, 
but  that  it  has  not  the  capital,  the  business 
experience,  the  range  of  enterprise,  and 
talent  for  affairs  which  can  be  found  in  the 
more  compactly  settled  North.  They  un- 
derstand that  the  absurd  pride  which  would 
make  the  South  a  distinct  section, 
with  separate  interests,  separate  social 
feeling,  nursing  a  petty  sense  of 
fancied  superiority  based  on  a  state  of 
things  long  gone  by,  is  a  stumbling  block  in 
the  way  of  progress.  The  South  can  keep 
itself  apart  from  the  rest  of  the  union  if 
it  chooses,  but  it  will  have  to  pay  very 
dear  for  its  childish  gratification.  It  can 
only  keep  itself  apart  by  keeping  it- 
self behind  and  shutting  its  people 
out  from  the  benefit  of  the  ac- 
tive forces  which  in  the  rest  of 
the  country  are  constantly  advancing  aU 
interests  in  common.  There  is  no  large 
career  in  business  open  in  the  South  so  long 
as  it  insists  on  setting  up  a  barrier  between 
its  people  and  the  people  of  the  North, 
whatever  that  barrier  may  consist  in.  Both 
sections  would  suffer  from  such  isola- 
tion, but  the  South  would  suffer  infinitely 
the  most. 

Another  class  which  does  not  take  de- 
light in  the  super>s$nsitiveness  of  the  South- 
em  press  is  made  ut;~of  those  politicians 
who  see  that  1416  destruction  of  slavery, 
and  the  permanem^^C%ilure  of  the  attempt  to 
control  the  Southern'S^tes  by  means  of 
the  negro  vote,  are  very  likely  to  take  the 
Southern  question  as  a  distinct  issue  out  of 
politics,  and  that  if  this/diall  prove  to  be  the 
case  new  combinational  may  come  abont  in 
which  Southern  leaders  may  find  themselves 
in  a_  situation  very  dmerent  from  that  in 
which  they  ha^e  been  ibi  many  years  past. 
A  prominent  organ  of  the  democratic  Party 
in  Yi^inia  recently  made  an  emphatic 
statement  of  this  view.  It  declared  that  the 
indiscriminate  tailing  at  Northern  men  and^ 
Northern  measures  was  not  only  foolish 
but  mischievons;  that  parties  throngh- 
out  the  country  were  passing  one 
of  those  periods  when  political  ties  were 
loosened,  and  when  they  might  snap  at  any 
moment,  and  that  no  one  conld  foresee  how 
goon  the  South  might  need  the  aid  and  seek 
the  aUianes  of ,  MKe  of  th«  leaders  who 


wan  B*r  b^Uit^^Mt'iiuMy.and  nnneeasanly 
•Basiled.    Snggestkiis  have  zeeently.  "been 
made  in  aevetvl  qmariers  in  the  South  that 
the     connbetiOn     bj^tween    that    section 
and  the  .Democratic    Party    was    by    no 
means     like   -that     tietween     the      Siam- 
ese    twins;      that  -it     had    not    always 
existed,     and'    that'    though     it     might 
kill  the  Democniicy  to  sever  it  such  an  event 
would  not  neoessari^  be  fatal  to   Southern 
interests.    T'hege  hints  ore  not  without  their 
signifieance.     The    Dempcrats  have   fre- 
quently reminded  us  iHiit  a  party  cannot 
live  on  its  past  alone,  but  that  living  issues, 
touching    actqal     interests    and   feelings, 
must     determine     party     connections     in 
the    long    run.      It     is    not    impossible 
that    they  may,    before    a   great   while, 
be    called    upon    to    take    this     admoni- 
tion    to     themselves.      Their     claim     on 
Southern  fealty    may  not  yet  be  wholly 
based  on  the  past,  but  it  is  largely  so,  and 
it  ie  difficult  to  see  hoW- it  caii  be  extended 
far  into  the  future.    Inpolitics,tf  anywhere, 
gratitude  is  a  lively  sense  of  favors  to  be 
conferred,  and  now  that  the  South  has  no 
"peculiar  institution"  to  be  protected,  and 
is   not  likely    long    to     be    vexed    ■with 
the     fear      of      negro       supremacy,       we 
may  well  antic^ate  that  it  will  find   occa- 
sion for  a  revision  of  its  political  arrange- 
ments.   When  that  time  comes,  both  par- 
ties to  the  old  Demooratic-Southem  alliance 
may   find  themselves    very  much  divided, 
each  from  the  other,  and  each  within  itself. 
It  is  at  any  rate  a  sigl^  of  some  importance 
when  this  possibility  is  recognized  in  the 
South  and  made  an  Occasion  for  rebuking 
that  intense  clannishness  which   has  made 
of  the  South  in  the   past  so  valuable  and 
trusty  an  ally  for  the  Democracy. 

There  is  still  another  class  which  is  out 
of  sympathy'  with  the  current  of  feeling  in 
the  South,  and  which,  though  small,  may 
well  become  larger  and  more  powerful.  It 
is  made  up  of  men  who  at  heart  earnestly 
desire  the  enlightened  progress  of  the  South 
— ^progress,  not  only  in  material  prosperity, 
but  in  order,  in  intelligence,  and  the  general 
characteristics  of  free  self-governed  com- 
mnnities,  and  who  see  with  '  regret 
and  mortification  its  shortcomings  in 
these  regards.  These'  are  men  who 
are  thoroughly  identified  ■with  their 
section,  who  are  proud  of  its  good  qualities 
and  devoted  to  its  best  interests,  but  who 
perceive  that  all  that  is  best  in  its  character 
can  be  more  rapidly  developed,  not  by  hold- 
ing it  aloof  from  the  Union,  biA  by  a  cordial 
harmony  between  it  and  the  rest  of  the 
country.  These  men  are  anxious  for  good 
local  government,  for  a  liberal  and  w^ll- 
sustained  public  school -system,  for  just 
and  friendly  relations  between  employers 
and  employed,  and  for  the  utmost 
encouragement  to  all  classes  in  the 
pursuit  of  honest  industry  and  the  accumu- 
lation of  ]honestly-eamed  property.  These 
objects  they  know  have  not  always  or  gen- 
erally, been  advanced  by  the  Democratic 
party,  and  they  are  prepared  to  demand 
either  a  change  of  policy  from  that  party  Or 
the  organization  of  new  combinations.  We 
believe  it  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the 
forces  which  we  have  noted  may  yet  work, 
and  perhaps  before  long,  important  modifi- 
cations of  the  political  relations  of  the 
South. 


29,  1877. 


AN  INTERNATIONAL  MONETARY  CON- 
FERENCE. 
The  National  Board  of  Trade,  at  its  annu- 
al meeting  in  Milwaukee,  a  few  days  ago, 
passed,  trith    only  one  dissenting  voice,  a 
resolution  urging  upon  Congress  "  that  im- 
mediate steps  be  taken  to  secure  an    inter- 
national monetary  convention  representing 
the  leading  commercial  nations,  for_  the  pur- 
pose of  establishing,   if  possible,   a  perma- 
nent valuation   between    gold    and    silver, 
and      their      unrestricted     coinage      and 
use    as   money    of    exchange  by    the  par- 
ticipants in  such    convention,    to    the    end 
that  stability  may  be  imparted  to  all  finan- 
cial  circulation  and  enterprises,  boLh  for- 
eign and  domestic,    of   the   people   of  the 
United  States."    A  resolution  submitted  by 
the  Cincinnati  Chamber  of  Commerce,  recom- 
mending to  Congress  to   consider   the  pro- 
priety of  re-establishing  the  silver  dollar  of 
1870,  was  then  lost  on  an  even  vote. 
■   No  action    in  reference   to  a    joint  use  of 
two  metals  as  money  can  be  sound  which 
does  not  recognize  the  historical  fact  that 
instead  of  the  double  standard  having  been 
"  found  upon  the  whole  to  work  very  well" 
— as  the  leading  advocate  of  remonetization 
asserts — it  has  been  really  a  failure.    The 
original     Coinage     act    of      1792     over- 
valued      silver,       and       thus       expelled 
gold,       leaving       in       fact       a       single 
standard  of   silver   until  1834,  when  the 
weight  of  gold  coins  was  slightly  reduced. 
The  intent  of  this  change  was  to  retain  gold 
in  the  circulatioo,  and  to  some  extent  this 
was  realized.    In  1853  the  smaller  coins 
were  demonetized  by  a  reduction  in  weight 
and  a  limitation  of  legal-tender  quality,  and 
thus  were  retained  in  use  until  the  late  war. 
The  silver  dollars  coined  up  to  1804  were 
only  $1,439,517;  thence  forward  to  1837, 
nothing ;  from  1792  to  1873,  $8,045,838, 
against  $19,01-4,108  for  the  tiny  gold  dol- 
lar, which  did  not  begin  until  1849.    Slight 
as  was  its  actual  use,  gold  was  the  real 
standard  from'  1834  forward ;  the    chief 
cause  of  the  exportation  of  silver,  nottvith- 
standing  the  attempt  in  1834  to  remove  its 
overvalnation,  being  that  it  was  undervalued 
as  compared  'vrith   its   mint   valuation  in 
France  and  some  other  European  countries. 
Between  1803  and  1850,  and  since,  France 
first  overvalued  silver,  as  the  United  States 
did,  ■with  the  sam^  result  of  making  it  the 
sole  standard  in  use ;  then  she  undervalued 
it  with  the  result  of  expellimg  it  from  use. 
The    history    of    Coinage    is,    therefore, 
one   of    nnsoceeasfnl    attempts   to   retain 
a    double  "standard    in    fact,    and    make 
the      two      metals      circulate      side      by 
side,    nor     has     this     non-success     been 
coiifined  to  the  ITnited  States.   The  coimtry 
is  now  asked  to  restore  the  silver  dollar  on 
the  old  basis,  np<hi  the  assurance  of  the  sil- 
ver men  that  this  unsupported  action  ■will 
instantly  and  niidoubtedly  raise  silver  to 
equality 'vrith  gold   in   the  markets  of  the 
world.    The   bniden    of   proof  clearly  lies 
upon  them,'  and  they  are  bound  to  remove 
aU  reasonable  doabt  that  this  would  be  the 
result;  the]|.«jfler,  ho|rever,  nothing  but  a 
din   of    reiterated    assertion.      We   have 
already  attempted  to  show  that  the  proba- 
Mlity  is  against  the  success  of  the  attempt, 
mainly  because  the  demand  for  silver  here, 
while   exerting  sohle   appreciating  effect, 
would  not  alone  be  sufflciest  to  undo  what 
has  been  done  by -other  nations. 

ttam,  tliist  and  even  uoon  the  aa- 


snmption  that  the  altetiiative  is  the  ocmtin-. 
nance  of  msaterly-inaetivity,  there  seeai  to 
US  good  reasons  for  urging  an  international 
conferen<ie  on  the  subjeet-of  coinage.    It  is 
the   fact, .  speaking  broadly,   that  manage- 
ment of  coinage  has  not  been  successful ; 
it  is  also  thefsBst' that  there  has  not  been 
united  as  well  as  concurrent  action ;    and 
nothing  seems  clearer  than  that  the  latter 
fact  has  been  in  some  degree  the  cause  of 
the  former.    A. mint  ratio  of  16  to  1  here 
.■will  not  work  well  ■with  a  French  ratio  of 
I5I3  to   1 ;   gold  and  silver,    like  eygry 
other  commodity,  will  go  where  they  are  most 
valued ;  and  two  or  more  countries,  trying 
to  maintain  a  double  standard  on  different 
ratios  of  ■valuation,  pull  against  one  another. 
As  money,  g.oldand  silver  are  mainly  an  in- 
strument of  measure  for  valuing  Commodi- 
ties ;  aside,  therefore,  from  their  relations 
and  movements  as  commodities  themselves, 
it  should  be  unnecessary  to  argue  the  utility 
of  having  the  standard   measure  uniform 
among  nations.     The    passionate    protest 
of    the      Cincinnati      Commercial      against 
an       international       conference       is      a 
sign     of     weakness      in      position.       If 
remonetization      cannot    wait      for     con- 
current action  and  ■will  be  successful  with- 
out it,  the  assertion  has  to  be  taken  without 
support,  the  latter  not  being  offered ;   if 
concurrence  is  not  w^anted,  it  may  neverthe- 
less be  needed;  and   even  if  this  country 
could  go  alone  it  is  not  'desirable  to  do  so.' 
The  sUver  question  has  its  difficulties,  and 
the  future  of  silver  ismot  clear.     It  is  not 
available    as    money    now,  .  not    because 
it  has  a  depreciated    value,   but  because 
it  has  none — ^for  to-  this  its   instability  is 
equivalent  in  a  coinage  sense.    If  vfe  take 
the  extreme  view  that  this  instability  is  't*. 
continue,  we  must  take  the  other  extreme 
view    that     its    usefulness    and     use     as 
money      is     ended;     if      that     instability 
is     removable,     it      can      be      removed 
opiy  by  union  of  the  leading  commercial 
nations  upon  a  monetary  basis — for  such 
union  -will  do  all    that    it     is  possible  to 
legislation  in  fixing  and  retaining  a  double 
standard,  by  which  term  we  understand  that 
gold  i^in  fact  the  measure,  and  that  silver 
occupies  to  it  a  given  relation. 

The  reasons  which  are  conclusive  against 
independent  action,  however,  are  in  favor 
of  ooneurrent,  and  this  Sountry,  which  really 
tpok  no  part  in  demonetizing  silver,  may 
the  more  properly  suggest  a  conference, 
abandoning  the  idea,  however,  that  any  one 
nation  is  to  unload  upon  0K_glet  the  bettenof 
another  in  the  mattei'.  "fefrv. Western  nV 
tion  of  national  independence  is  in  this  ut- 
terly weak  and  false.  We  were  independ- 
ent in  entering  the  greenback  course,  and 
have  been  so  in  deferring  resumption,  the 
notion  that  this  country  has  some  sort  of 
financial  laws  of  its  own  having  been  one 
of  our  errors.  Thus  far  we  have  kept  our 
money  dissociated  front  that  of  mankind, 
and  this  false  independence  should  be  re- 
manded to  the  past.  Especially  since  the 
Centennial, TBis  country  stands  higher  than 
formerly  in  the  respect  of  nations  ;  to  ask 
a  conference  would  not  seem,  for  us,  a  con- 
fession of  error  in  the  past  treatment  of 
silver,  and  the  proposition  would  come 
from  the  United  States  with  especial  digni- 
ty and  weight.  Even  if  it  failed  of  agree- 
ment on  the  main  object,  it  could  not  fail  to 
considerably  promote  the  end  of  uniformi- 
ty in  measures,  as  well  as  to  establish  the 
precedent  of  such  conferences.

are  indebted  to  Mr.  Justice  FlELD-rfor 
an  entertaining  aecotmt  of  what  -was 
said  in  the  consultation-room  of  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court  eonoeming  the  deci- 
sion to  be  ^ven  on  the  Florida  election 
case.  At  least,  if  it  ■was  not  what  ■was  said 
about  this  case,  it  is  what  was  fancied  to 
have  been  said,  by  Judge  Field,  who,  as 
already  remarked,  ia  gpfted  ■with  a  florid 
and  vivid  imagination. 

According  to  the  original  statement,  Mr. 
Justice  BbjA)!^  is  reported  to  have  read 
his  opinion  (whielb^s  favorable  to  TlLDElf ) 


A  GARRULOUS  JUDGE. 
Mr.  Justice  Field  has  been  talking  again. 
Judge  Stephek  J.  Field  is  one  of  the  Asso- 
ciate Justices  of  the  Supreme  Court.  He 
was  appointed  by  Lkcoln,  and,  at  that 
time,  out-heroded  Herod  in  his  denuncia- 
tion of  the  rebels,  the  rebellion,  the  Demo- 
crats, and  tBe  Democratic  Pai-ty.  His  favor- 
ite toast  was,  "Death  to  Copperheads  ;"  his 
favorite  song,  "  John  Brown's  body."  As  a 
member  of  the  family  which  boasts  Da^td 
Dudley  Field  as  its  brightest  ornament,  he 
is  naturally  a  politician.  As  an  old  Califor- 
nian  and  a  member  of  the  Supreme  Bench 
of  that  State,  he  may  well  be  excused  for 
taking  free  and  easy  vie^ws  of  life,  manners, 
and  morals.  Judge  Field,  accordinglr,  has 
a  -ri^vid  imagination,  a  convivial  habit,  and 
a  loose  tongue.  He  likes  to  talk : 
and  when  the  fountains  of  speech 
are  unlocked  by  the  generous  influences 
of  a  good  dinner  he  is  as  fluent  as  a  river. 
We  have  never  heard  that  any  member  of 
the  Field  famUy  made  any  pretensions  to 
principle.  In  moments  of  calm  reflec- 
tion, iw^bly,  Mr.  Justice  Field  might 
refer  to  principle  as  one  might  refer 
to  a  problem  in  Euclid — something  too  ab- 
struse and  remote  for  human  use.  But  these 
would  be  rare  and  infrequent  occasions. 

On  the  authority  of  Mr.  Justice  Field, 
whom  a  reporter  caught  in  the  golden  mo- 
ment which  intervenes  between  after  din- 
ner and  the  after-dinner  nap,  it  was  an- 
nounced in  a  New- York  Democratic  news- 
paper that  Mr.  Justice  Bradley  had  had 
two  opinions  on'tKe  Electoral  question.  It 
was  saidj'ln  the  fifst  place,  that  Justice 
Bradley  had  read  to  Justices  Field  and 
Clifford,  diiring  the  sitting  of  the  Electoral 
Commission,  an  opinion  wjueh  gave  the- 
vote  of  Florida  to  Tildes.  Furthermore, 
it  was'said  that  influences  were  brought  to 
bear  upon  Mr.  Justice  'feEADLEY  which  in- 
ducedhim  to  reverse  his  opinion  and  give  the 
State  to  Ha'stes.  As  Florida  was,  so  to  speak, 
the  pivotal  State,  it  followed  that  this  change 
of  opinion,  if  there  was  a  change,  gave  the 
Presidency  to  Hayes.  WhUe  there  is  no 
positive  statement  to  the  effect  that,  this 
information  came  from  Mr.  Justice  Field, 
it  is  well  understood  that  the  charge,  if  we 
may  so  call  jtj,e)»«ra  not  have  been  made 
on  the  authority  of  anybody  else.  Mr. 
Justice  Field,  as  we  have  remarked,  loves 
to  talk  ;  and  when  the  influei^ces  of  good 
cheer  have  softened  his  judicial  mood  he 
does  talk  in  a  most  uiyudicial  manner.  The 
ancient  traditions  of  the  United  States 
Supreme  Court  are  peculiar.  We  were 
wont  to  consider  the  Minos  and  Bhadaman- 
thusof  the  Sujireme  Beneh^^ts*  belonging 
to  a  race  of  superior  bein^  'What  was 
said  and  done  in  the  fefril  seclusion

J>f  mankiiid  ;  no  vulpir  reporter,  no  tattling 
meonfnir  could  ejner.  For  generations  no 
human  being  has  been  able  to  tell  us  what 
the  Justices  yfi  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  Stat^  have  stud,  or  thought,  about 
any  giv^  subject.  The  Justices  have 
been  a  sort  of  ^Iphic  oracle  multiplied  by 
nine.  »  Svhyni  rpllsd  out  into  several  ex- 


to  Field  and  CLiPPoJto.  A  San  Pr^cisco 
reporter  interviewed  Mr.  Justice  Field,  who 
is  now  unbendrng'^his  eminently  judicial 
mind  in  California.  The  Judge,  according 
to  the  report  rwhich  is~  telegraphed  to  us 
across  the  conUnent,  declared  that  Mr. 
Justice  Beabley  aid  not  "read"  any  opin- 
ion to  him  in  advaaoe  of  the  decision  of  the 
Electoral  Commissimi.  There  was  such  a 
significant  emphaap  on  the  word  "read" 
that  the  persistent/ reporter  returned  to  the 
attack  with  tj»e^«ubtle  insinuation  that  the 
opinion^wag^erlJally  expressed,  not  commit- 
ted to  ■writing.  "  Ton  have  my  answer,"  said 
Mr.  Justice  Field,  -with  a  new  Secession  of 
dignity.  "  All  the  answer  I  can  now  make 
is  that  Mr.  Justice  Beadley  did  not  read  to 
me  the  opinion  as  alleged."  And  the  Cali- 
fomian  Bhadamanthus'was  again  observed' 
to  lay  fresh  emphasis  on  the  word  "  read." 
We  ai'e  gratified  to  learn  that  Mr.  Justice 
Field,  ■vrith  that  dignity  and  caution  which 
characterizes  him  under  normal  eonditions, 
emphatically  reftised  to  go  further  into  the 
subject,  urging  that  "  members  of  the  Com- 
mission were  bound  by  resolution  to  respect 
the  secrecy  of  their  deliberations." 

Next  day,  it  appears,  Mr.  Justice  Field, 
seeing  in  print  his- reminiscences  of  the  Elec- 
toral Commission,  was  visited  with  a  qiialm  of 
conscience,  and  the  Californian  Ehadaman- 
thus  declared  that  nothing  that  he  had  said,  or 
emphasized,  could,  would,  or  should  justify 
any  inference  derogatory  to  Mr.  Justice 
Bradley.  If  Mr.  Justice  Bradley  had 
changed  his  opinion  on  the  Electoral  ques- 
tion over  night,  and  Mr.  Justice  Field  -had 
said  as  much,  such  a  report  would  have  been 
decidedly  derogatory  to  Mr.  Justice  Bead- 
ley.  Let  us,  then,  respect  the  tardy 
accession  of  dignity  which  "  next  dav.'i 
discredits  the  lively  imagination  and  loosif 
tongue  of  the  day  before.  'When  the  Elec- 
toral Commission  was  proposed,  The  Times 
ventured  to  say  that  "the  inevitable 
suit  would  be  that  gossips  and 
JHtrngei-s  would  befoul'  the'  Suprejje^ 
Court,  the  highest  and  most  august 
tribunal  in  the  land.  It  i«i8  felt  that  the 
Justices  of  the  Supreme  BeAeh  ought  to  be 
left  above  the  reach  of  wrtisan  rancor. 
The  result  has  been  a  iilstifieation  of  our 
worst  fears.  Put,  untijlately,  we  had  sup- 
posed that  the  Judges  were  themselves 
free  of  a  tendency  tp  blab.  ~We  evidently 
overlooked  Mr.  Justice  Field.  As  for  Mr. 
Justice  Bradley,  we  are  boxmd  to  give  him 
credit  for  common  sense  and  discretion. 
There  is  no  evidence  whatever  that  he  ever 
had  more  than  one  opinion  on  any  question 
befoi'e  the  Commission.  And  if  he  had 
changed  his  mind  over  night,  it  is  morally 
certain  that  he  could  not  have  confided  his 
secret  to  the  jovial  and  talkative  Justice 
from  CaUfomiaTS 


NlpEOLite,  ^riiose  Marshal's  baton  swallowed 
up,  like  Aaron'*  rod,  every  other  branch  of 
national  development.  His  admiration  of 
Wellikoton  led  him  to  attempt  a  com- 
promise between  the  great  leader's  line- 
s«rder  and  his  own  favorite  column  forma- 
WfB:fby  eovwing  the  advance  of.  the  heavy 
masses  of  infentry  with  a^oud  of  skir- 
mishers tluWwn  out  in  front.  But  Alma, 
and  Inkerman  showed  the  fallacy  of  this 
experiment,  and  the  severe  lesson  of  Plevna 
appears  to  have  completed  what  the 
Crimean  war  began.  Victorious  in  ^eir 
ffist  trial  9f  their  new  formation,  the  Rus- 
sians may  not  impossibly  adopt  it  alto- 
gether, in  which  case  the  magnificent  fight- 
ing power  of  their  rank  and  file  will  have  a 
far  better  chance  of  showing  itself,  unham- 
pered by  the  only  too  frequent  incompe- 
tency of  its  officers  ;  and  should  the  pres- 
ent ■war  have  no  other  result  than  this,  it 
will  none  the  less  have  been  an  incalcula- 
ble boon  to  Russia.

OPEN  ORDER  VERSUS  CLOSE  COLUMN. 
The  details  of  the  great  Armenian  battle 
at  Kurak-Dara,  if  correctly  reported,  have*a 
significance  wholly  apart  froni  the  immedi- 
ate results  of  the  fight  itself.  The  latest 
dispatches  inform  us  that  in  the  severe  in- 
.  f  antry  combat  around  the  village  and  fort  of 
Sanbatau,  which  raged  for  two  hours  ■with- 
dut  Interinission,  the  Russians  advanced,  not 
as  usual  in  heavy  masses,  but  formed  by 
battalions  in  open  order,  after  the  German 
fashion,  the  second  line  supporting  the  first, 
and  supported  in  its  turn  by  a  powerful  re- 
serve.     This  fact  marks  the  opening  of  a 

new  era  in  Russian  oailitary  history.      Since   ?cedarwood,    furnished    with    nickel-plated 
war  first  became  a  science  the  battle  of  line  *  Tiandles,  and  a  lid  made    to    fasten    with  a 


versus  column  has  been  waged  unremitting- 
ly, the  former  being  invariably  triumphant. 
The  heavy  Greek  phalanx  yielded  to^e 
'•  open  order  «  of  the  Rotnan  legion,  with  its 
two  line  of  .flastati  and^^incipes,  and  its 
rescue  of  Triarii.  "The  unwieldy  masses  of 
TiLLT  and  Walleksteis  were  beaten  by  the 
lighter  formation  of  GcsTA"vns  Adolphus, 
as  were  like^!\ise  those  of  the  Austrian  Mar- 
shals by  Frederick  the  Great,  while  the 
Peninsular  war  and  the  great  battles  of  our 
day  have  pointed  the  saiae  moral.  • 

But  the  change  in  question,  however  mo- 
mentous in  itself,  acquires  a  double  impor- 
tance from  its  having  taken  place  among 
t\&  troops  which  have  hitherto  been  the 
very  incarnation  of  the  '•  column  system.'' 
The  latter  has  been  obstinately  adhered  to, 
for  generations  past,  by  Russia,  Tu?key, 
and  Austria  alike,  on  the  plea  that,  faulty 
as  it  was  admitted  to  be,  it  was  the  only 
safe  or  even  possible  method  of  fighting  for 
the  men  who  employed  it.  To  a  certain  ex- 
tent this  reasoning  was  undeniably  correct. 
Many  eminent  critics  have  noticed  and  rep- 
rehended the  instinctive  aversion  of  both 
Russian  and  Turkilsh  soldiery  to  anrtliing 
like  indi^vidual  action,  and  their  tendency 
•  to  huddle  together  in  dense  masses,  no  mat- 
ter how  unnecessary,  or  even  harmful,  such 
a  proceeding  might  be.  At  Inkerman  it 
was  remarked  by  an  observant  eye-witness 
that  the  Russians,  in  their^/ferand  charge 
upon  the  sandbag  ba±t«*y,  crowded  to- 
gether in  .such  a  way  as  to  leave 
more  than  one  wide  gap  in  their 
front  of  attack.  The  formation  which 
thus  humored  their  innat«  peculiarities 
was  likewise  consecrated  by  its  asso- 
ciation with  their  great  military  idol.  Mar-

and  extent.  But,  however  defensible  it 
might  be  in  this  respect,  its  advantag;es 
were '  for  the  most  part  purely  imaginary, 
while  its  defects  were  fatally  real.  The 
looming  of  the  gray-clad  column  through 
the  lolling  smoke  of  the  battle-field  might 
oppress  the'troops>*)pposed  to  it  -with  a  feel- 
ing of  overwhelming  numbers  against  them 
and  certain  overthrow  to  themselves,  tanta-

teought  out  in  full  relief,  with  its  huge,  un- 
■wieldly  mass  offering  a  fair  tsu^t  to  every 
shot  fired  at  it,  was  helpless  as  a  flock  of 
sheep  against  a  few  resolute  men  drawn  up 
in  line.  A  few  well-aimed  volleys  usually 
sufficed  to  break  it;  and^  once  broken, ■!(

BAGGA  GE-SMASmNG. 
How  to  prevent  railway  porters  and  bag- 
gage-masters from  smashing  trunks  is, 
perhaps,  one  of  the  most  important  and 
certainly  one  of  the  most  difficult  problems 
of  the  age.  So  long  as  the  ba^age-man 
haudlestrunk^whiehcanbe  smashed  withput 
the  aid  of-  dynamite  or  steam-hammers  he 
will  continue  to  smash  them — ^for  'tis  his 
nature  to.  It  is  in  vain  that  sanguine  men 
have  hoped  to  check  his-  devastating  course 
by  providing  themselves-with  trunks  made 
of  boiler-iron  riveted  as  securely  as  the 
plates  of  an  iron-clad.  They  have  found  to 
their  sorrow  that  a  trunk  which  is  strong 
-*H5ngh  to  resist  the  baggage-man's  native 
resotirees  is  necessarily  too  heavy  for  use. 
\Railway  companies  refuse  to  transport  it, 
es^ept  at  exorbitant  rates,  and.  hotel 
pikers  utterly  refuse  to  have  anything  to 
do  with  it.  A  year  or  two  since  an  unknown 
man  travelimt  on  a  New-Jersey  railway 
placed  nitro-glycerine  in  his  trunk,  and 
thereby  accomplished  a  blessed  work  among 
the  railway  porters.  This,  however,  was  a 
mere  philanthropic  effort  to  reach  the  con- 
science of  the  baggage-smasher,  and  cannot 
be  classed  as  an  expedient  for  preserving 
trunks.  In  fact,  there  is  very  little  reason 
to  hope  that  an  impregnable  and  at  the 
same  time  portable  trunk  ■will  ever  be- 
devised.  It  would  probably  be  easier  to 
invent  a  n'ew  kind  of  baggage-master  than  a 
trunk  which  could  successfully  defy  the 
existing  race  of  baggage-masters.  Still,  it 
'  does  seem  disgraceful  that  in  this  scientific 
age  we  cannot  solve  the  problem  of  travel- 
ing ■with  unsmashed  tnmk3>.>_. 

Two  partietdarly  noticeable  efforts  have 
been  made  in  the  desired  direction,  but, 
though  they  were  extremely  ingenious, 
neither  was  conspicuously  successful.  Some 
years  ago  a  Troy  man  made  himself  a  trunk 
of  indiambber,  which  ■was  both  exceeding- 
ly strong  and  exceedingly  light.  Equipped 
■with  this  trunk  he  started  for  the  CatskiU 
Mountains,  and  arrived  at  CatsMll  Station, 
on  the  Hudson  River  Railroad.  His  trunk 
was  pitched  out  of  the  baggage-ear  with  un- 
usual violence,  owing  to  its  extreme  light- 
ness. As  soon  as  it  stniek  the  ground  it 
bounded  twenty  fget  in  the  air,  and  started 
in  a  parabolic  eurvenp^n a  course  of  terrific 
destruction.  It  first  mowed  down  six  ladies 
of  different  sizes,  and  knocked  a  seventh 
through  the  ■window  of  the  telegraph  office. 
Returning  in  the  opposite  direction,  it  struck 
a  large  clergyman  in  the  back,  driving  liim 
under  the  feet  of  a  spirited  pair  of  horses, 
which  immediately  ran  a^way ;  and  finally  it 
swept  a  small  'boy  into  the  river  and  floated 
down  with  the  tide,  rolling  over  and  over 
upon  the  drowning  small  boy  ■with  every  ap- 
pearance of  fiendish  deUght.  Its  owner 
naturally  fled  for  his  life,  and  neither  he 
nor  his  trunk  has  ever  been  heard  from. 

Somewhat  later  an  Illinois  man,  noticing 
that  the  only  article  which  the  baggage- 
smasher  does  not  smash  is  a  loaded  cofSn, 
provided  himself  ■with  a  coffin  made  of  light 


deparluru  fri>zn.the  rales  of  the  hotise.  "0x9 
discussion  soon  attracted  attention,  and 
a  Coroner,  who  was  waiting  in  the  hotel  in 
order  to  be  on  hand  in  ease  a  few  gnests 
should  be  burned  to  dt«th,  promptly  setaed 
the  coffin,  and  impaneling  a  jury,  proceeded 
to  hold  an  inquest  with  that  rapidity  and 
energy  characteristic  of  the  Western  people 
when  brought  face  to  face  with  an  oppor- 
tunity to  obtain  official  fees.  Great  was  the 
astonishment  of  the  Coroner  and  his  jury 
when  they  viewed  the  supposed  body.  This 
astonishment  on  the  part  of  the  Coroner  him- 
self soon  gave  ■way  to  anger  when  he  reflected 
that  he  could  not  claim  fees  for  holding  an 
inquest  on  wearing  appareL  He  relieved 
his  mind  by  causing  the  arrest  of  the  un- 
happy .Qlinoisan  on  the  charge  of  iiaving 
mtrrdered  a  wife  or  wives  unknown  to  the 
jury,  and  confiscated  the  coffin  in  part  pay- 
ment of  the  fees  which  he  had  expected  to 
earn  and  of  which  he  considered  himself 
defrauded. 

Thus  this  expedient  for  transporting  bap- 
gage  in  safety  came  to  a  disastrous  i.-nd. 
Nevertheless,  it  was  based  upon  the  great 
truth  that  coffins  are  never  smashed  "by  "t>ae- 
gage-masters,  and  one  cannot  help  feeling 
that  it  deserved  to  succeed.  It  is  plain, 
howe^ver,  that  the  cofSn  can  never  supersede 
the  tmnK.  Perhaps  if  trunks  were  to  ke 
provided  with  maohiues  so  contrived  as  to 
produce  a  sotmd  like  that  of  the  rattle  -of 
an  angry  rattlesnake,  and  were  to  be  la- 
beled in  large  letters,  "  Rattlesnakes :  with 
care,"  they  might  be  handled  with  suffi- 
cient tenderness  to  permit  of  their  reaching 
their  destination  in  safety.  The  experiment 
is  certainly  worth  a  trial,  and  might,  in  the 
ease  of  intemperate  baggage-masters,  'Da 
productive  of  much  good.

pression of  extreme  woe,  to  check  his  be- 
loved ■wife  for  Chicago.  The  baggage-mas- 
ter, though  hardened  by  years  of  trunk- 
smashing,  still  retained  some  traces  of  hu- 
manity in  his  composition,  and  refrained 
from  cursing  the  mourning  husband,  al- 
though he  firm^-  explained  to  him  that 
'•  dead  wi^ves  couldn't  be  played  off  on  him 
as  personal  baggage,"  and  that  the  husband 
would  either  have  "to  express  his  good 
lady  or  to  send  her  as  special  first-class 
freight."  But|the  ingenious  Illinoisan  per- 
sisted in  his  demand.  He  told  the  baggage- 
master  that  he  must  either  check  those  re- 
mains or  be  responsible  for  their  safe-keep- 
ing until  the  decision  of  the  la^wsnit  which 
he  should  eertaiidy  bring  against  the  com- 
pany. Jfiarmed  by  this  threat,  the.  baggage- 
master  yielded,  and  checked  the  coffin  for 
Chicago,  while  its  owner  went  behind  the 
freight-house  and  executed  a  ■wHd  dance  of 
private  triumph. 

Twice  .(iurmglthe  journey  the  baggage 
was  shifted  from  one  car  to  another,  and 
while  dozens  of  trunks  were  reduced  to 
splinters  the  coffin  was  carried  by  six  men 
with  the  most  tender  care.  Its  o^wner 
watched  it  from  the  window  of  the  smoking 
car,  and  chuckled  in  a  delighted  ■way  that 
would  alone  have  proelaimsd  him  a  happy 
■widower.  In  time  he  reached  Chicago, 
when  doubts  as  to  the  success  of  his  inven- 
tion first  began  to  assail  him.  The  coffin 
■was  "brought  to  his  hotel  by  a  local  express- 
man who  had  been  unwarily  entrapped  into 
taking  the  check,  but  who  charged  the 
owner  ■four  dollMS  and  compelled  bJTti  to 
pay  by  threatening  to  carry  his  -wife  to  the 
nearest  medical  college  and  to  sell  her  to 
the  students.  No  sooner  had  the  express- 
man departed  than  the  ingenious  Illinoisan 
became  involved  in  a  dispute  with  the  land- 
lord, who  refused  to  allow  the  coffin  to  be 
carried  up  stairs.  "  We  can  store  your 
lady,"  remarked  the  landlord,  "  in  the  bag- 
gage-room, where  she  will  be  perfectly  com- 
fortable, but  it  is  against  our  rules  to  allow 
guests  to  have  any  remains  carried  to  their 
rooms."  Now,  the  Illinoisan  was  anxious 
to  get  his  paper  collar  and  his  qni-^ 
nine,  but  did  hot  dare  to  open  his 
coffin  in  public,  so  he  tried  his  utmost 
fn  txrtax.  and  to  bnUv  tliA  IniKilar^  into  a

The  Kepublican  State  Committee  met  at 
&e  Fifth-Avenne  Hotel  yesterday  morning  at 
10:30,  to  agree  upon  the  time  and  place  for  the 
holding  of  the  State  Convention  and  the  formal 
can  therefor.  There  were  present  the  follow- 
ing gentlemen  :  Mr.  Alonzo  B.  Cornell,  Chair- 
man, Eleventh  District;  John  N.  Knapp,  of 
Anbum,  Treasvirer,  Twenty-sixth  District ; 
Henry  A.  <}lidden,  of  Albion,  and  Edward  M.

^George  M.  Case.  Twenty-fourth  District ;  George 
Croose,  Twenty-fifth    District ;    Cornelius 

OParsons,  Thirtieth  District.  The  meeting 
waa\a9  usual,  a  private  one.  It  was  agreed 
with  utile  discussion  to  hold  the  convention  on 
Wednesdajs  the26th  of  September.  The  next 
thing  was  sbTo  the  place.  Members  seemed  at 
flist  equally  dmde^/between  Syracuse,  Koch- 
ester,  and  Saratoga.  Six  ballots  were  taken, 
Mr.  John  N.  Knapp  standing  through  all 
firmly  for  Auburn,  as  he  always  dofss, 
but  the  final  ballot  gave  19  votes  for 
Rochester,  which  settled  the  matter.  The 
convention  will  therefore  be  held  at  Rochester, 
and  the  choice  seems  to  give  general  satisfac- 
tion, as  the  town  is  a  pretty  and  convenient 
one,  with  ample  hotel  accommodations.  Fur- 
thermore, it  is  thought  to  bi  good  policy  to 
have  the  convention  in  the  western  end  of  the 
State,  after  holding  so  many /in  the  northern 
and  central  sections.  The  ^rms  of  the  call 
were  next  discussed,  and  the  following  adopted. 
It  will  be  noticed  that,  in  consequence  of  the 
largely  increased  Republican  vote  last  year,  a 
new  apportionment  of  delegates  becomes  neces- 
sary, and  an  increase  in  their  number.  The 
next  convention  will  therefore  have  454  dele- 
gates, against  424  since  1872 — an  increase  of 


ticiuu  of  prominence  In  their  section  of  Jtmrj- 
land,  and  the  affair  grew  out  of  a  political  feud. 
Hammond  is  disabled  from  a  wound  received  in 
the  Confederate  service,  and  was  unable  to  re- 
sist bis  opponent.  A  challenge  to  a  duel  is  an- 
ticipated.

Washington,  Aug.  28. — Mr.  Stone,  the 
United  States  District  Attorney  for  South  Caro- 
lina, arrived  here  to-day  and  tendered  his  resig- 
QBtion  to  the  Attorney-General.  He  intends  to 
go  to  New-York  City  to  practice  law.  He  is  a 
strong  friend  of  ex-Gov.  Chamberlain,  and  de- 
clares that  it  is  the  purpose  of  the  people  of 
Sonth  Carolina  to  send  Chamberlain  to  the  Peni- 
tentiary, whether  thev  oan  find  him  guilty  of 
any  offense  or  not.  Mr.  Stone  says  that  W  ade 
Hampton  recently  made  a  requisition  on  .the 
Governor  of  one  of  the  Northern  States  for  an 
ex-ofScial  of  South  Carolina  charged  with 
frauds,  and  that  the  Governor  upon  whom  the 
-  requisirion  was  served  refused  to  honor  it,  and 
returned  It  with  the  indorsement  that  Mr. 
Hampton  had  never  been  formally  recognized 
Oy  the  Federal  Government  as  the  Governor  of 
South  Carolina,  and  that  he  must  therefore  de- 
cline to  pay  any  attention  to  the  document.  Mr. 
Stone  refuses  to  give  the  name  «f  the  Northern 
QwBraor.

PoTTSViLLE,  Penn.,  Aug.  28.— The  Fall 
campaign  in  this  section,  which  threatened  to 
be  a  rather  monotonous  one,  promises  now  to  be 
made  lively  by  the  efforts  of  Hon.  P.  W.  Hughos 
to  make  a  split  on  the  financial  question.  Aided 
by  the  Shenandoah  Herald,  he  has  been  engaged 
for  some  time  in  organizing  Greenback  clubs  in 
the  upper  part  of  the  county,  and  has  made 
two  or  three  sx>eeches  on  the  subject  at  Shenan- 
doah and  Mahanoy  City.  He  sent  his  son-in- 
Jaw  and  law  partner,  Guy  E.  Parqnhar,  to  Harris- 
iurg  with  a  couple  of  resolutions  demanding 
the  abolition  of  national  banks,  the  making  of 
greenbacks  fully  equal  to  legal  tenders  with 
gold,  and  that  all  legal  tender  notes 
be  convertible  into  United  States'  4  per  cent 
bonds.  These  resolutions  were  summarily  tabled 
by  the  convention,  and  then  Mr.  Hughes  pub- 
lished a  card  repudiating  the  platform  adopted 
by  the  convention,  denouncing  it  as  favoring 
free  trade  and  secession,  and  appealing  to  the 
true  and  old  time  Democracy  to  disown  the  in- 
famous surrender  and  vile  heresies  of  the  plat- 
form,"iwid  to  proceed  to  organize  for  the  vindi- 
cation of  their  ancient  faith,  the  rights 
of  the  people  and,  the  good  of  our 
common  country.  A  call  was  Issued  for 
a  meeting  in  purstiance  of  this  appeal,  and  an 
audience  of  about  200  assembled  to-night'  to 
hear  Mr.  Hughes  enunciate  his  views  in  full. 
The  following  is  a  synopsis  of  the  more  impor- 
tant portions  of  his  speech : 

Answering  the  charge  of  inconsistency  as  ap- 
plied to  the  Democratic  Party,  he  quoted  the 
action  of  Jefferson  while  a  member  of  Wash- 
ington's Cabinet,  in  opposing  the  charier  of  the 
first  United  States  or  national  bank ;  Jack- 
son's re-election  in  1S32  on  the  c  issue 
whether  the  then  great '-  national '  bank 
should  be  rechariered,  and  the  act  of 
1840  creating  the  independent  Treasury  system 
and  divorcing  the  Government  from  dependence' 
upon  and  the  control  of  all  banks.  From  that 
day  until  the  adoption  of  the  St.  Louis  platform 
the  party  to  which  he  had  been  attached  had 
been  unwavering  in  its  oppositio-t  to_bi>nk  con- 
trol over  the  subject  of  supplyiv«>  "JJimey  or  a 
medium  of  exchange  for  the  .i-cooie.  .Com- 
ing then  to  the  Resumprion  act,  he  said  : 

If  the  nrovisions  of  this  act  are  carried  out, 
you  see  that  all  our  paper  issues  would  be 
national  bank  notes,  professedly  redeemable 
in  gold;  but  as  it  is  perfectly  demonstrable 
that  this  would  be  impossible,  bank  suspensions 
would  be  forced  in  a  very  few  days.  Gold 
would  then  enflrely  disappear  aa  a  <drculating 
medium.  We  might  retain,  perhaps, 
a  portion  of  our  present  depreciat- 
ed silver;  national  bank  notes,  not 
being  legal  tenders,  are  not  money,  and  then  the 
gold  having  disappeared  with  most,  if  not  all, 
the  silver,  we  would  be  without  any  money  at 
alL  In  such  an.  extremity  the  banks  would  call 
on  Congress  to  legalize  this  suspension,  and,  how- 
ever  unconstiturional  a  law  for  that  purpose 
might  be,  we  would  then  have  stiU  really 
no  money,  but  we  would  have  this 
suspended  bank  paper,  an  *'  irredeemable,'* 
"depreciated,"  "dishonest,"  "inflated,"  "rag" 
currency,  and  then,  too.  would  still  remain  that 
control  over  Congress,  and  through  it  the  coun- 
try, that  the  national  banks  have  'exerted  for 
over  10  years  past.  Blessed,  happy  state  I  No 
money  for  the  people  and  their  industries,  labor 
and  political  independence  the  prey  of  national 
banks.  And  shall  it  be  told  to  our  shame,  sa 
well  as  sorrow,  that  this  is  the  "  financial  reso- 
lution," approved  at  the  convention  at  Harris- 
burg  on  the  22d  inst.,  assembled  in  the  name  of 
democracy — that  once  proud,  glorious  Democ- 
racy 1  As  to  the  subject  of  secession,  my  argu- 
ment is  found  in  my  protest,  and  I  quote  it 
here: 

■*  The  second  resolution,  while  justly  approvingtlie 
right  of  each  State,  'within  its  reserved  rights,  to  be 
»fr»e  from  Federal  interference  and  lunrpation.  yet 
in  its  assertion  that  the  Federal  tjovemment  is  one 
of  mere  delected  powers  is  involved  a  direct  appro- 
val of  the  heresy  and  doctrine  of  the  right  of  seces- 
sion. The  true  Democratic  doctrine  is  that  the  Fed- 
eral Government  is  one  of  limited  powers,  but  that 
these  are  granted  and  absolute,  and  not  merely  dale- 
gated." 

And  hence  that  Government  within  the 
sphere  of  the  powers  thus  granted  has  consti- 
tuted "  We,  the  people  of  the  United  States  "  a 
nation.  The  States,  too,  are  Governments  of  lim- 
ited powers,  but  the  the  limitation  differs  from 
that  of  the  Federal  Government  in  this,  that 
what  is  not  granted  to  the  latter  is  withheld, 
while  to  the  States  that  which  is  not  withheld 
or  excepted  is  granted.  National  banks,  (1,) 
free  tt«le,  (2.)  and  secession,  (3.)  constitute  the 
Harrisburg  platform  trinity.  Men  who  love  a 
party  name  .above  their  country's  good  may 
yield  it  reverence.  Let  them  enjoy  the  honor. 
Their  communion  "will  be  a  feast  in  the  hunger, 
rags,  and  tears  of  the  poor  and  the  bankruptcy 
of  all.  Mr.  Hughes  went  on  to  say  toward 
the  conclusion  of  his  address :  "  My  friends,  it 
has  been  erroneously  assumed  by  some  that 
this  movement  is  one  concerning  ejeltM4^eIy 
the  laboring  portion  of  the  community, 
only  portion  of  the  people  who  do  not  laixir  is 
the  bondholder  who  Jives  upon  the  uiterest,  and 
if  clipping  coupon.H  is  labor  he  is  a  laborer  to 
that  extent.  The  laborer  is  one  who  employs 
his  mental  and  muscular  forces,  or  either, 
to  abeomplish  production  or  useful  re- 
sults. Let  mo  advise  the  men  of  the 
pick  and  the  shovel,  who  expend  the 
sweat  of  their  faces  to  purchase  br.sid,  upon 
one  point.  Your  wage.-^  are  low  ;  under  a  sy.s- 
tem  of  sound  anocey  they  should  anil  would  be 
much  greater.  But  the  present  system,  with 
the  threat  of  the  enforcement  of  tlie  delusively- 
called  Resumption  act.  tea'ling.  as  I  have  shown, 
to  deprive  us  all  of  legal  tender  mouey, 
is  destroying  confidence  and  stopping 
industries.  You  have  a  ptrt'iictly  good  remedy 
for  the  evil  of  low  wages  in  your  own  hands. 
Help  along  that  policy  that  will  restore  confi- 
dence by  gi'ving  to  the  country  a  sound  money, 
sufBcient  for  the  purposes  of  increased  bu.si- 
ne.<^,  equal  to  the  wants  of  a  people  who 
consume  not  the  mere  necessaries  but 
what  affords  the  comforts  of  life.  And 
if  we  only  had  plenty  of  business 
such  as  restored  confidence  by  sound  money 
will  produce,  you  could  all  enjoy  God's  boun- 
ties. He  has  eiven  us  plenty  for  all,  but  for 
the  reasons  I  htfve  stattvl.  in  the  midst  of  all 
this  plenty,  people  are  dying  of  starvation. 
Before  high  Heaven  let  us  all  protest  against 
the  iniquity  of  that  policy  that  thus  defeats  that 
Heaven's  bounties. 

Other  speakers  were  announced,  who  failed  to 
appear,  but  another  meeting  is  to  be  held  this 
week  for  organization.

THE  DEMOCRATIC  CENTRAL  ASSOCIATION 
OP  THE  EIGHTH  ASSEMBLY  DISTRICT 
SECEDE  IN  A  BODY — TAMMASY  HALL  AND 
"  BOSS  "  KELLY  TIGOROUSLY  DENOTTNCED. 
A  meeting  of  the  Democratic  Central  Asso- 
ciation of  the  Eighth  Assembly  District  was  held 
last  evening  at  Ko.  122  Delancey-street.  Abont  75 
petsona  were  present.  Mr.  John  W.  Wnito  was 
Chairman.  This  association  was  originally  formed 
«f  the  officers  of  Tilden  and  Hendricks  Clubs  m  the 
district,  and  was  organized  to  advance  the 
interests  of  the  Democratic  national  candidates 
when  the  Tammany  associations  seemed  lukewarm 
toward  them.  Since  last  Fall  the  organization  has 
'beenm  a  measure  afBliated  'with  Tammany  Hall, 
but  the  S  arrogant  masner  of  "Bom"  Kelly, 
and  of  his  representative  in  the  district, 
Edward  D.  Gale,  has  driven  them  from  it.  As  soon 
as  the  meeting  ivas  opened  last  evening  it  -waa  evi- 
dent thst  Tammany  Hall  was  to  be  denoimced  and 
seceded  from.  Speeches  were  made  by  the  Chair- 
man, "William  Van  Dnser,  Prank  Rodenbonrfr, 
John  Thei«  John  W.  Jonea,  and  Edward 
Kaoffman.  They  were  all dennnciatory  of  "Boss" 
Kelly,  who  was  accused  of  having,  from  «  partisan 
mottve,  prevented  the  performance  of  L*or  that 
'would  keep  working  men  from 
TuLnueriam.        Edward

-'OBGAKIZATIOK  OF  A  <  GENERAL  •  COSmTTEE— r 
BEKBY  C.  B0BIN80N  ELECTED  PRESIDENT 

^        — PEESIDENT  HAYES'  POLICY  I^AUDED. 

:"  What  was  advertlfled  to  be  the  "  new  Repub- 
lican General  Committee,"  held  its  first  meeting  for 
organization  liut  night  at  Lyric  Hall,   Forty-second* 

r  street  and  Sixth-avenue.  ■  At  8  o'clock,  the  hour  ad- 
vertised, fhe  hall  had  only  a  few  delegates  in  it,  and 
the  lights  were  tamed  low,  bnt  in  the  dim.  and  mys- 
teiioas  light  thrown  on  the  stage  from  above,  a  group 
of  motionless  figures  could  be  discerned  apparently  in 
deep  consultation.  This  group.  It  appeared,  was  com- 
posed of  the  members  of  tbe  Committee  on  Organiza- 
tion, and  the  subject  of  their  eonsnltatloiis — and  It 
seemed  a  troublesome  one — was  the  proper'  running 
of  the  meeting  about  to  take  place.  It  must  have 
been  nearly  6:30  before  the  committee  made  up  its 
coUfiCtive  mind  upon  a  programme.  When  this  was 
done  the  lights  were  turned  up,  and  tla»  committee 
members,  desoending  from  theSstage,  scattered  them* 
selves  about  the  hall,  whi'th^had  by  this  time  beeome 

.  nearly  filled,  ready  to  rise  in  their  places  at  the 
proper  time  and  make  entirely  impromptu 
motions  and  suggestions.  -^  Ur.  Thomas  Stew- 
art was  left  alone  on  the  stage,  and, 
rapping  on  the  table  for  attention,  said  tliat,  by 
virtue  of  the  authority  vested  in  him  at  the  meeting 
held  in  Science  HaU  some  weeks  ago,  he  called  this 
meeting  to  order,  and  asked  the  pleasure  of  the  com- 
mittee. Mr.  S.  J.  Glaasey  nominated  Weeks  W. 
Culver  for  Secretary  pro  torn.,  who  was  elected,  and 
Mr.  George  M.  Mitchell  was  elected  assistant.  Tbe  roll 
was  then  called,  and  177  delegates  answered  to  their 
names.  The  Twentieth  Assembly  District  was  not 
represented,  and  the  two  wards  were  represented  by 
one  delegate.  Mr.  Ethan  Allen's  name  was  called  ; 
also  Mr.  Dorman  B.  Eaton's  and  Le  Grand  B.  Can- 
non's, but  thev  were  not  present.  The  President 
said  that  over  200  delegates  were  present,  and  thev 
could  proceed  to  business.  He  then  made  a  speech 
uf  some  length,  going  into  a  history  of  the  movement 
for  a  re-enrollment  of  the  Republicans  of  this 
City,  and  the  indiflference  of  the  Kepjlar  State 
Committee  to  the  representations  of  those  who  de 
aired  this  to  be  done.  He  referred  to  the  new  and 
regenerating  movement  in  the  party  now  begun,  on 
the  basis  of  President  Hayes  civil  ser\'lc«  order, 
[loud  applause  ;]  and  then  spoke  with  some  bttt«r- 
ness  of  the  way  the  ofBceholders  ran  the  political 
machine.  One-half  the  members  of  the  dwtrict  or- 
ganizations, he  asserted,  were  now  holding  office  ; 
two  Inspectors  of  Elections  out  of  the  three 
were  officeholders  in  each  district.  and 
ran  the  primaries  to  suit  themselves ;  and 
there  were  numbers  of  men  holdinff  places  in  these 
organizations  to-day  in  spite  of  the  President's  order, 
who  were  Federal  office-holders.  As  long  as  thU 
went  on  they  would  see  all  manner  of  evil  coming 
from  it — even  mnrder.  as  they  had  seen  in  tbe 
Fifteenth  AssemblJ-  District.  He  concluded  by  calling 
npon  them  to  sustain  President  Hayes'  position  in 
regard  to  the  civil  service.     [Applause.) 

Gen.  John  A.  Foster  said  that  the  first  thing  to  be 
done  was  to  elect  a  permanent  President,  and  in  a 
htgWy  enlogiBtic  speech  he  nominated  Mr.  Henry  C. 
Robinson  for  the  place,  and  called  for  a  rising  vote. 
This  was  about  to  be  done  when  the  inevitable  elder- 
ly and  respectable  delegate  from  the'tnck  of  the  hall, 
who  rises  in  all  Republican  meetings,  regular  or 
irregular,  arose  in  the  p«r»ou  of  Mr.  Taylor, 
of  the  Thirteenth  District,  and  put  a  tempo- 
rary damper  on  the  rising  enthusiasm  oy 
wanting  to  know  If  It  was  right  to  go 
into  an  election  now,  so  hurriedly,  before  they  had 
time  to  learn  who  the  nominee  was  or  anything  about 
him.  For  hU  part,  he  wanted  some  well-known  man 
at  their  head,  like  Mr.  Schultz  or  Elliot  C.  Cowdiu. 
and  he  suggested  delay  for  a  week.  This  brought  np 
the  fiery  rostei^in  a  furious  speech  against  Mr. 
Schultz,  who,  he  declarea,  was  an  nld  fraud,  and  In 
proof  of  his  assertion  related  in  the  most 
tragical  style  several  severe  snubbings  which 
be  [J'oster]  had  received  from  Mr.  Schultx,  He 
hoped  the  committee  would  not  nominate  ah  old 
fraud  because  he  was  a  rich  one.  Mr.  Taylor  sarcas- 
tically nominated  Gen.  Foster  for  President. 
[Laughter.  J  The  General  promptly  declined  in  favor 
of  MrJ  Robinson.  Mr.  Anarcw  J.  Campbell  seconded 
the  nomination.  Mr.  Thomas  Kirkpatrick  was  not 
satisfiM  to  go  on  so  hurriedly.  He  once  heard  a 
gentleman  lauded  Just  a.s  Mr.  RobiuHon  had  b««n.  and 
atter  his  election  he  was  found  to  be  a  thoromrh 
rfuwal.:  [Laughter.]  Mr.  Henry  Boeny  and  Mr. 
Glassey  called  for  immediate  action,  and  the  commit- 
tee, getting  impatient  on  account  of  the  great  bent  of 
the  room,  called  loudly  for  the  que«(tion.  Mr.  K<b- 
innon  Was  then  elected   by  a  unanimous  and  rising 

lir^new  President  was  conducted  to  the  chnir.  nud 
miif^  a  speech.  In  which  he  lauded  President  Hayes 
.e  skies,  spoke  much  about  civil  service  reform, 
and  deflnred  that  it  wds  no  more  posftible  to  ref.>nn 
the  RepwMican  Party  with  the  old  organization  than 
t^put  old  wine  into  new  bottles.  Mr.  Robinson  is  a 
friend  cif  Mr.  "Bill  •   Haw. 

Tilt'  election  of  other  officers  followed. .  Ex-J'ndce 
Richanison  nominated  Gen.  Henry  L.  Burnett  for 
First  Vice-President.  Gen.  Foster  seconded  the 
nomination,  and  Mr.  Burnett  was  unanimously 
olctod  by  a  risinc  vottj.  Mr.  Mitchell  nominated 
Willian^  *  Terwill^er  for  Second  Vice-President, 
nnd  he  ^^'as  electtnl  in  the  same  way. 
Some  delegate  nominated  Mr.  Weeks  W.  Culver 
for  Sefbietcry.  bnt  Sir.  Culver  hastily  declined, 
for  reasons  stated  in  TuK  Times  a  few  day  aco.  Mr. 
•  Henry  C.  Bangs,  of  the  Eighth  District,  and  Mr. 
Abraham  Qnackenbuah.  of  the  Fifteenth,  were  then 
elected  Recordinir  and  Corresponding  Secretaries  re- 
spectively. The  election  01  Mr.  Joseph  Hall  as 
iVeasurer  was  efiffected  after  some  trouble,  which  a 
threat  to  call  the  roll  quieted  at  once.  Mr.  Thomas 
Bell,  of  the  First  District,  was  elected  Sergeant-at- 
Anns. 

Some  discussion  followed  about  adjournment,  and 
it  was  finally  decided  to  meet  at  some  place  on  Mon- 
day next.  The  Chairman  was  empowered  to  appoint 
an  executive  committee  bf  two  from  each  As.semby 
District,  and  two  from  the  upper  wards  ;  and  then 
Mr.  Glassey.  who  had  been  trying  for  some  time  to 
pot  them  in,  read  a  series  of  resolutions  lon^n^  the 
President  and  the  civil  aervice  ordery'fvhich  were 
passed  at  once.  As  the  swt* Itoring  dulepites  made  fOr 
tbe  street,  the  burly  form  of  "  Bill "  ^w  loomed  up 
in  the  doorway,  a  beaming  smile  on  his  face,  indicat- 
ing; itow  well  he  wan  pleased  with  the  smooth  running 
of  the  machine.  ^^^^

Philadelphia,  Penn. ,  Aug.  28  .^-the 
mueh-talked-of  gathering  of  the  GoTemors  of 
the  rariotus  States  in  this  city  does  not  promise 
to  be  the  success  that  %aa  so  earnestly  desired. 
Up  to  this  hour  (10  P.  M.)  the  number  arrlTed 
is  indeed  a  mere  handf  ul,  and  does  not  include 
the  Exeoutives  of  States  that  have  ever 
figured  very  extensively  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  country.  Tbe  list 
of  those  present  includes  Govs.  Hartranf^  of 
Penn^lTania;  Anthony,  of  Kansas;  Axtell,  of 
New -Mexico;  Garber,  of  Nebraska;  Newbold, 
of  Iowa;  Porter,  of  Tennessee;  Clark,  of  J3ol- 
orado;  Drew,  of  Florida;  Bedle,  of  New  Jesv 
sot;  Young,  of  Ohio,  and  Iiieut.-Gov.  Eotter- 
man,  of  Iowa.  The  Governors  whose  presence  was 
more  particularly  desired  were 'those  from  tbe 
Southern  States.  Tbe  object  of  the  gathering 
is  two-fold :  .^  Firsty  to  secure  an  acquaint- 
ance of  all  the  State  Executives,  and 
next  to  have  an  expression  of  opinion  from 
those  of  the  South  concerning  the  political  sit- 
iiatloa  and  its  effect  npon  the  internal  com- 
merce of  thercountry.  Back  of  all  this  there  is 
a  little  s<^eme  concerning  the  funding  of  the 
debts  of  the  Southern  States, .  and  to  devise 
some  means  to  have  the  very  heavy  indebted- 
ness of  those  States  liquidated,  or  some  ar- 
rangement made  looking  to  the  payment  of  a 
peroentase  to  the  bondholders.  .  It  was 
thought  that  with  the  Governors  here  to 
lay  the  matter  before  the  merchants,  not  only  of 
Philadelphia  but  of  New- York,  Boston,  and  the 
other  cities,  an  interest  might  be  awakened 
and  the  aid  of  moneyed  men  be  secured.  With 
the  present  representation  this,  it  would  seem, 
will  be  a  failure.  Some  good  may  result,  how- 
ever, in  the  visits  to  the  Industrial  establish- 
ments, bnt  whatever  opinion  they  may  hold 
concerning  the  greater  question  th&  Governors 
will  keep  to  themselves,  for  there  is  not 
one  who  would  desire  to  place  him.<)elf  on 
record  and  probably  antagonize  some  particu- 
lar interest  in  his  own  section  of  the  country. 
As  it  stands  now  the  trip  will  be  a  fine  pleas- 
ure jaunt  for  the  State  rulers,  and  tbe  people  in 
the  towns  and  cities  they  i)a8s  through  can 
show  their  respect  by  many  kind  attentions. 

At  noon,  to-day,  jin  informal  reception  was 
held  at  the  Continetital  Hotel  by  John  S.  Mor- 
ton, Esq..  the  new  President  of  the  Permanent 
International  Exhibition  ;  Peter  B.  Simmons, 
Fl^sident  of  the  Exhibitors*  Association,  and 
the  members  representing  the  latter  organiza- 
tion. After  Introductions  and  Interchange  of 
sentiment  in  conversation,  an  adjoummeDt  was 
had  until  3  o'clock,  when  Gov.  Hartranft  held 
a  reception  at  Independence  HaU,  where  there 
w^ere  present  a  number  of  city  officials  and  a  few 
citizens.  Speeches  were  made  by  Govs. 
Hartranft,  Axtell,  Porter,  Young,  Bedle,  Hon. 
John  W.  Forney,  and  John  J.  Morton,  Esq. 
Here  there  were  expressions  of  sentiment 
which  touched  the  key-note  of  the  assemblage, 
and  which,  if  discusBed  by.a  thoroughly  repre- 
sentative body,  might  result  in  much  good.  In 
referring  to  the  condition  of  the  country  Gov. 
Hartranft  said  that  *  the  great  problem  of  the 
day  was  the  labor  question.  Gov.  Axtell  fol- 
lowed this  up,  and  said  that  when  the  p<?ople  of 
his  State  ship  cattle  to  New-York  and  the  East, 
and  riotous  men  stop  thera  in  transitu,  he 
expected  the  ruler  of  the  State  to  do 
just  as  Gov.  Hartranft  did.  open  the 
railroad  by  military  force,  and  to  caU 
on  tbe  National  Government  for  aid.  The 
working  men,  he  said,  had  a  mistaken 
idea  that  they  desired  the  Government  to  re- 
gulate their  hours  of  labor  and  wages.  They 
would  hold  up  their  hands  and  say  put  tbe 
shackles  on  us.  To  his  mind  this  is  where 
they  made  a  mistake.  Gov.  liedle  was  emphatic 
in  saving  that  no  men,  whether  railroad  laborers 
or  railroad  Presidents,  should  infringe  upon  tbe 
laws  of  New-Jersey,  but  would  be  treated  as  be 
had  done  with  the  rioters  at  Phillip(*burg.  Gov. 
Porter,  as  the  only  Southern  representative 
present,  was  highly  complimented. 

To-morrow  at  1 1  o'clock  tho  great  rec-eption 
will  take  place  at  the  International  E.xhibition, 
and  the  entire  day  and  evening  will  be  spent  at 
the  exhibition  and  in  the  park.  The  party  will 
reach  New-York  on  Monday  next,  by  which 
time,  no  doubt,  the  number  will  be  increased  by 
the  addition  of  Wade  Hampton  and  Gov.  Stone, 
of  Misaissippiv  and  several  others. 

The  vi8iting\  Governors  were  formally  wel- 
comed to  the  State  by  G^ov.  Hartranft.  at  Inde- 
pendence Hall  niis  afternoon.  His  address  was 
responded  to  bv  Gov.  Anthony,  of  Kansas.  The 
party  will  visitlthe  Exhibition  to-morrow,  where 
elaborate  preparations  for  their  entertainment 
have  been  made.

MEETING  OF  THE  CHAMBER  OF  COMMERCE 
TO  MAKE  ARRANGEMENTS  FOR  TUEIR 
RECEPTION— A  COMMITTEE  OF  REPRE- 
SENTATIVE  BUSINESS   MEN  APPOINTED. 

It  is  not  at  all  improbabl/tSiat  the  vLsiting 
Governors  of  several  of  tho  States.  *ho  arejiow  in 
Philadelphia,  and  who  propose  next  Tucsd/y  to  visit 
New-Vork,   will  be  received  in  a  manner  quite  as 
agreeable  as  they  could    wish,    although   they   will 
miss  those  delicate  attentions   which   Alderman  Pnr- 
roy's  Common   Council   would  lavish  upon  them  if 
they  were  so  fortunate  as  to  have  the  opportunity  of 
making  a  demonstration  and  spon<ling    the  public 
funds.     There  are  no  unappropriatoi  balances  in  the 
City  Treasur>-  which  can  be  applied  to   the  reception 
of  anybody,  so  the  Governors  are  to  be  received  by  a 
body  of  merchants  and  gentlemen,  and   while  there 
will  be  no  indiscriminate  ex^wnditure  for  carriages 
and  other  thiUj^  which  Common   Councils  so  well 
know  how  to  make  expensive,  the  trovernora  who 
pass  through  New- York  and  stop  to  spend  a  few 
hours  will  be  in  good  company,  and  will  probably  see 
all  they  desire  to,  and  will  not  be   "done  up  "in 
formal  style  by  the  magnates  of  Tammany  Hall.     A 
few  gentlemen  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  have 
taken  the  matter  in  hand,  and  have   partly  arranged 
a  plan  to  be  carried  out  on  Monday  and  Tuesday 
nexi.    With  the  view  of  Bi^•ing  tho  movement  an 
official  form,   a  meeting  was  called  for  yesterday  at 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  to  form  a  committee.  The 
President,  Mr.  S.  D.  Eabcock.  and  the  Vice-Presidents 
of  the  Chamberare  absent  fromthe  City,  and  when  the 
meeting  was  called  to  order  it  was   by  Mr.  Elliot  C. 
Cowdin,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee.    In 
taking  the  chair  Mr.  Cowdin   announced  that  the 
meeting  was  called  for  the  purpose  of  making  ar- 
rangements for  the  proper  reception  of   the  Gov- 
ernors who  are  about  to  visit  this  City.     He  thought 
that  they  should  be  received  in  the  commercial  centre 
of   the  country  with  some  attention   by  the   mer- 
chants.    In  order  to  make  arrangements  for  the  day 
tbe  Executive  Committee  had  made  on  efifori  to  as- 
certain the  feeling  on  the  subject  among  members  of 
the  Chamber,  and  found  that  there  was  a  general 
disposition  to  tender  the  visitors  a  public  reception  in 
the  C*ity  Hall  and  a  trip  to  the    inbtitutiona  and 
Central  Park.     ilr.  William  E.  Dodge,  among  others, 
had  expressed  his  willingness  to  bear  a  share  of  the 
expense,  but  he  would  undoubtedly  t>e  absent.    Tues- 
day, the  11th,  will  be  the  anniversary  of  his  seventy- 
second  birthday,   and  he  will  spend  the  day  at  his 
birthplace.  Salem,  Washington  County,  where  he  has 
nromised  to  deliver,  on  Monday  night,  an  address  be- 
fore a  great  temperance  gathering.     Mr.  Cowdin  read

2>EATH  OF  BEN  DE  SAB. 


A  DISTBSSSIKG  ILLNESS  XNDXD— 4XXTCK  OF 
THE  VETEBAK  COMEDIAN'S  iJtK — ^TOBTT- 
SIX  TEARS  or  STAGK  EZPXRIENCK — ^HIS 
YENTUBES  AS  A  MANAGEB. 

The  friends  of  the  veteran  comedian  Ben  De 
Bar  wiU  learn  with  stnoare  ragrrt  that  the  malady 
from  which  he  has  been  Buffering  more  or  less  for 
two  years,  and  wfalcb  a  few  weeks  ago  toddenly 
assimied  a  threatening  form,  caused  his  death  yester- 
day mwnlng  in  St.  Louis.  Mr.  De  Bar  was  at  the 
time  of  his  death  63  years  of  sge,  having  been  born 
in  London,  Enj^and,  In  1814.  ffis  father  was  the 
steward  of  an  estate,  and  had  an  ambition  to  adncate 
his  son  for  a  business  or  profession ;  but  at  an  eariy 
age  young  Be  Bar  evinced  a  taste  for  the  stage, 
and,  joii^ng  a  strolling  eompaay,  he  made  his  first 
attempts  on  the  boards  in  the  provlnoes.  His 
first  recorded  engagement,  bowerer,  was  with  Faiidt 
SavlDe,  under  whose  management  be  appeared  at: 
the  Theatre  Boyal,  Margate,  Kent,  as  the  Pag*,  in 
the  farce  of  the  "  Page  and  the  Purse.*''  This  was  u 
1831,  and  ha  soon  after  appeared  in  the  Drary-Lane 
Theatre  in  the  ballet.  Fqt  three  yean  ha  played 
with  increasing  sneoess  on  the  En^lah  stage,  and  in 
1834  he  came  to  the  United  States,  appearing  in  the 
St.  Charles  Theatrei,  Kew-Orleans.  in  1835,  under 
the  management  of  Caldwell,  as  Sir  Benjamin  Back- 
bt<«,inthe  "School  for  ScandaL"  He  became  very 
popular  in  the  South,  and  played  there  with  great  suc- 
cess. In  1837  he  came  to  New-York,  opening  at  the 
old  National  Theatre,  Leonard  and  Church  streets, 
as  Frank  Frisky,  and  afterward  in  the  Chatham 
Thaatre,  in  a  variety  of  small  parts.  Joining 
the  Bowery  Theatre  company  .|  under  Hsmblin, 
he  b^an  as  Second  low  comedian,  and  rapidly  rosa 
to  be  a  first-doss  comedian  of  the  broad  type,  and  In 
1842  was  Hamblin's  stage  manaser.  A  few  years 
after  he  visited  Englano,  and  appeared  as  Mote  at 
the  SUndard  Theatre  in  1849.  His  popularity  at 
the  South  had  drawn  him  toward  New-Orleans 
again,  and  having  resolved  to  establleh  himself  there, 
he  purchased  the  St.  Charles  Theatre  of  Ludlow  A 
Smith  in  1853,  and  two  years  afterward  the  theatre 
of  John  Bates,  on  Pine-street,  St.  Louis,  which  has 
since  borne  the  name  of  its  owner. 

At  these  two  houses,  and  in  his  starring  tours 
through  the  South,  he  acctmiulated  Jarg^simiB  of 
money,  so  that  at  one  time  h«  was  worth  fmly  $600,- 
OCK).-  His  success  continued  unabated  up  to  the 
breaking  out  of  the  rebellion,  when,  communlci^on 
between  the  two  cities  having  been  interrupted,  his 
affairs  were  seriously  deranged,  and  he  met  with 
losses  and  lost  control  of  the  New-Orleans  house. 

At  the  St.  Louis  Theatre  he  did  a  good  business 
for  two  or  three  years,  dtiring  the  "  flush"  times 
which  followed  the  war.  Then  he  was  unfor- 
tunate, and  having  lo^t  money  again,  he  began 
two  or  three  years  ago  to  ''star"  the  country 
with  the  idea  of  regaining  bis  losses.  He  did  not 
meet  with  the  success  he  expected,  his  old  habits  of 
management  standing  In  his  way,  although  his  talent 
and  experience  still  made  him  an  admired  actor. 
Among  the  characters  in  which  he  has  appeared  most 
frequently  and  acceptably  was  that  of  FaUlaff,  which 
he  has  played  with  remarkable  unction  and  power 
since  the  death  of  Mr.  Hackett,  appearing  in  Brook- 
lyn in  tbe  character  last  Winter,  and  in  the  part .  al- 
tostetherjprfre  than  150  times.  In  1843  be  mar- 
ried H^irietta  Voile,  a  dancer  and  a  niece  of  Mr. 
LasalleV  proprietor  of  the  Courier  de*  EtaU  Vni*. 
Mrs.  De^Bar  anfl  her  husband  played  together  for 
sometime  in  the  "French  Spy."  appearing  In  the 
Park  Theatre  in  1848.  Mr.  De  Bar's  style  may 
be  compared  with  that  of  Burton  and  Blako.  and  he 
was  at  one  time  looked  upon  as  a  formidable  rival  of 
these  popular  actors.  He  was  a  comedian  of  the 
broadest  kind,  with  more  fnn  than  Bloke  but  less  re- 
flneiufnt.  During  the  war  De  Bar  was  a  pronounced 
sece^ionlst,  and  it  is  sold  that  at  his  house  in  St. 
Louis  John  Wilkes  Booth  Imbilwd  much^of  the  sen- 
timent which  afterward  impelled  him  to  the  mnrder 
of  President  Lincoln.  His  nnancial  losses  and  some 
family  troubles  which  distressed  him  have  had  a 
serious  effect  npon  his  health,  which  began  to  decline 
about  two  vears  i^o.  During  an  engagement  in  San 
Francispo  last  W  mter,  under  John  McCnllongh.  he 
forgot  hifi  lines  in  the  part  of  Falttajf,  and  after  an 
attack  of  malarial  fever  he  attempted  to  ful&ll  an 
eneagement  at  Nashville  in  spite  of  the  objections 
of  his  physician. 

A  few  week?  ago  he  came  to  this  City  for  the  pur- 
pose of  making  his  Fall'  and  Winter  engagements, 
and  his  friends  bnmediately  detected  a  merked 
change  in  bim.  He  foiyot  the  names  of  persons 
whom  he  had  known  for  years,  and  soon  after  he  was 
rommitted  to  the  care  of  I>T.  William  Hanlmond  he 
was  unable  to  recail  his  own  name  durine  a  conversa- 
tion held  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  nlR  true  con- 
dition. Theatrical  people  whom  he  had  known  for 
years  were  passed  by  him  in  the  street  without  recog- 
nition, and  he  freqnently  exhibited  painful  symp- 
toms of  decline..  It  became  apparent. that  it  would 
be  tiseless  to  attempt  to  transact  business  with  blm, 
and,  after  rei>eat-ed  ronsnltatlous  with  a  phyiician, 
he  was  prevailed  njxm  to. return  to  St.  Louis,  as

WESTON    RELEASED'iON  BAIL — THE  CASE 

OF   JOHN   J.    CANNON. 

Detectives  ac^d  others  who  are  supposed  to 
be  acquainted  with  the  facts  connected  wlth..the  re- 
cent forgeries  in  this  City,  are  confident  that  some 
persons  who  are  connected  vUh  the  present  forgeries, 
if  not  the  eiftira  g:ing,  ofe  the  same  men  who 
were  concerned  in  the  extensive  forgeries 
committed  in  thU  City  la  the  early  part 
of  1873.  Readers  of  Thb  Tiirss  will  re- 
member tliat  in  January,  February,  31arch,  and  April 
of  that  year  there  were  an  untisual  number  of  for- 
geries in  New- York.  Among  others  was  the  forging 
of  certificates  of  the  Toledo,  Wabash  and  Western 
and  Pittsburg,  Fort  Wayne  and  Chicago  Railroads, 
in  which  the  Continental  Bank  was  one  of 
the  victims,  the  firm  of  Oddle  &  Austin, 
of  No.  11  Broad-street,  being  largely  concerned.  It 
is  alleged  by  lawyers  who  skw  Sprogue  in  court  at 
that  time,  and  who  have  seen  him  since,  that  he  is 
identical  with  the  Sprague  who  is  connected  with 
the  present  foigeries,  and  who  is  said  to  b^ 
confined  in  an  up-town  hotel.  It  is  believed 
that  ho  is  only  one  of  a  number  of  the  conspirators 
who  have  been  widely  known  in  other  large  torgeries^. 
and  that  it  can  be  t^liown  that  the  forgeries  of  187  / 
are  only  a  later  effort  of  the  same  men  who  perpe- 
trated the  forgeries  of  1873. 

The  habeas  corpus  proceedings  In  the  case  of 
Ely  B.  Weston,  the  mysteriouli'  prisoner  in  tjie  $64.- 
006  forgery  on  theNewYork  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, were  unexpectedly  interrupted  yesterday  by 
the  arrival  of  a  relative  of  Mr.  Weston  from  Roches- 
ter, N.  Y.,  who  immedlatelv  took  steps  to  have  the 
prisoner  released  on  bail.  This  friend  is  one  of  the 
foremost  business  men  of  Rochester,  aman  well  known 
for  honor  and  integrity,  and  an  intimate  friend  of 
Mr.  Purcell.  prtjprietor  of  the  Metropolitan  Hotel. 
His  relationship  to,  and  friendship  with,  Weston  ore 
amonK  the  stronue^tt  arjraments  in  favor  of  the  lat- 
ter's  innocence.  On  arriving  in  this  City  this  gentle- 
man drove  at  onco  to  the  Metropolitan  Hotel.  He 
registered,  and  soon  afterward  sent  for  Mr.  Purcell, 
and  told  him  that  he  had  come  to  the  City  oiTvery 
unpleasant  business-^the  bailing  of  a  relative, 
his   brother-in-law.      Weston's    relative     tl^en     ex- 

?lained»that  th«  man  who  was  confined  in  the 
'ombs  on  charge  c^  complicity  in  the  $(>4,- 
000  check  forgery— Ely  B.  Weston — ^was  his 
brother-in-law ;  snd  he  then  asked  Mr.  Purcell 
whether  he  could  become  bondsman  for  the  latter,  or 
whether  he  could  recommend  him  to  some  friend. 
Mr.  Purcell  replied  that  he  would  recommend  himtO 
a  friend  who  would  give  bonds  for  Weston's  securi- 
ty, and  he  took  him  at  onre  to  Dr.  T.  H.  Burras, 
dentist,  of  No.  48  Great  Jones-street.  Weston's 
relative  put  a  cheek  for  $2,000  In  Dr.  Burras' 
hsoids  and  requested  lim  to  become  snrety 
for  the  prisoner.  Dr.  tjurras,  who  is.  the 
father-in-law  of  Dunlap.  the  hatter,  consented, 
and  he  and  Wenton  s  friend  drove  to  tiie 
Tombs.  Here,  however,  they  were  denied  a  admis- 
sion, and  were  obliged  to  visit  the  District  Attorney's 
o£Bce  and  get  a  written  order  before  they  could  see 
Weston.  The  prisoner's  relative  was  strongly  ad- 
vised by  all  the  friends  he  met  in  the  City  to  ob- 
tain the  services  of  a,  lawyer,  or  to  send  word  to 
Weston's  counsel.  James  Oliver.  Esq.,  but  be  replied 
that  it  was  scich  a  simple  case  that  no  lawyer  was 
required,  uid  that  he  was  abundanUy  able 
to  attend  to  the  business  himself.  The  two 
then  visited  Justice  Duffy,  and  in  a  short  time 
Weston  appeared  in  the  Tombs  Police  Court,  and  Dr. 
Burras  entered  into  bonds  in  $-,000  for  his  M>pear- 
ance  in  court.  The  three  then  drove  to  tne  lo^tro- 
politon  Hotel,  and  X>r.  Burris  want  home.  Weston 
conmlained  that  he  hod  not  been  able  to  sleep  the 
night  before,  in  the  Tombff,  and  so  retired  to  his 
relative's  room  before  9  o'clock. 

John  J.  Cannon,  of  No.  221  West  Sixteenth-street, 
who  is  accused  of  comnlictty  in  the  S^  Louis  forgery 
case,  was  in  Lawyer  Oliver  s  office,  inlCentre-street, 
yesterday,  to  make  a  statement  fo  his  eouiael  and 
the  pr^s.  He  had  already  given  a  story  to  ae  news- 
papers, which  is  described  as  two  yards  Idng,  and  he 
was  loud  in  bis  denunciations  because  H  was  hot  pub* 
U^ed.  The  substance  of  his  storv  yssterday  was 
that  he  had  never  before  been  in  jail  and  that  he  was 
an  honest  taasi.  _■

.FORD,  Penn.,  Aug.  28. — ^A  bam  be- 
longing to  Philip  Stark,  four  mfles  from  Mil- 
ford,  was  entirely  consumed,  with  contents, 
last  Saturday  morning.  Involving  a  heavy  loss, 
on  which  there  was  no  insurance.  Later  in  the 
day  two  tramps  came  to  Milf ord  and  gave  them- 
selve  up  as  tbe  incendiaries.  At  a  preliminary 
hearing  they  said  they  had  been  tramping 
for  several  months,  had  been  unable  to 
get  work,  and  being  almost  starved,  con- 
cluded to  flro  the  bam  and  get  into  prison,  where 
they  would  get  something  to  eat  They  were 
locked  up  in  the  county  jail,  and  will  be  tried 
at  the  September  term  of  court.  One  gave  his 
name  as  Frederick  Myers,  and  says  he  was  bom 
in  Odense,  Denmark,  and  is  by  occupation  a 
painter.  He  is  aged  33  yearsl  'The  other  gave 
the  name  of  Joseph  Wilson,  alias  Brown,  alias 
Kelley.  He  was  bom  in  London,  England.  He 
is  40  years  old,  and  by  occupation  a  plasterer. 
Kelley  claims  to  havd^been  a  leader  in  the  Pitts- 
burg, Penn. ,  railroad  riot.  He  has  also  con- 
fessed to  having  committed  many  crimes,  and 
that  a  few  years  before  he  came  to  the  United 
States  he  assisted  in  taking  the  life  of  a  fetlow- 
workmaif  while  intoxicated.  He  is  small  in 
stature,  .^ell  educated,  and  has  but  one  eye. 
Myers  says  this  is  his  Arst  offense.

LETTER  TO  THE  EDITOR. 


THE  ■;|7ATI0NAL    BOARD     OP     TRADE    ANU    A 

'^  BCSHEL   or   GRAIN, 

lb  the  SdOar  o/  IV  -Vetr-  Tork  l%itUM  : 

For  more  than  half  a  century  exchange  on 
England  was  reckoned  at  four  shillings  and  sixpence 
sterling  to  the  dollar,  or  four  and  four-ninths  dollars 
to  the  pound  sterling,  and  the  error  in  value  cor- 
rected by  a  percentage.  Four  years  i^o  Congress 
simplified  this  matter  by  declaring  (according  to  the 
fact)  the  value  of  the  pound  sterling  to  be  four  dol- 
lars eighty-six  cents  and  six  and  one-half  mills  ;  and 
enacting  that  all  contracts  based  on  any  other  par  of 
exchange  made  after  Jan.  1,  1874,  should  be  null  and 
void.  Since  that  d^!^  exchange  on  England  is  reck- 
oned In  a  simple  and  sensible  way,  namely,  in  dollars 
and  cents  to  the  pound  sterling.  The  National  Board 
of  Trade,  lately  in  session  in  Milwaukee,  resolved  to 
recommend  Congress  to  adopt  a  uniform  table  of 
welchts  per  bushel  for  the  whole  country.  In  other 
words,  they  ask  Congress  to  confirm  t^e  foolish  sys- 
tem of  buying  and  selling  nominally  by  the  bushel, 
but  actually  by  weight.  I  have  before  me  a  report 
published  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Mil- 
waukee, in  which  is  a  table  of  "Weights  of  the 
bushel  aa  established  by  law.''  The  weights  for  31 
different  artides  are  given.  As  to  16  of  them  the 
weights  established  by  law  of  Illinois  are  the  same  as 
by  law  of  Wisconsin.  Aa  to  5  the  weights  are  differ- 
ent. Illinois  gives  weUrhts  for  10  arrives  for  which 
Wisconsin  gives  none  ;  and  Wisconsin  gives  weights 
for  5  articles  for  which  minois  gives  none. 

It  really  seems  strange  that  any  body  of  men  with 
sense  enough  to  enable  tbum  to  do  business  should 
put  up  with  Buch  a  buunline  method.  wh(*n  simplicity 
18  within  their  contriiL  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  if 
Congress  takes  any  notice  of  the  matter,  it  will  tell 
,  them  to  transact  business  according  to  the  rules  of 
.common  sense.  If  the  National  Board  of  Trade  is 
really  after  uniformity  they  cannot  do  better  than  to 
>adopt  the  metric  weights  and  measures,  legalized  by 
Congress  11  years  ago.  Onne  ha\'ing  made  that 
change  they  ne<d  not  fear  ever  being  required  to 
make  another.  But  if  they  are  going  to  receive  and 
deliver  wheat  and  other  produce  by  weight,  they  of 
course  should  bay  and  sell  by  weight :  and  articles 
which  arA  to  be  received'and  delivered  by  volume  or 
bulk  should  be  bought  and  sold  by  volume. 

Wheat  and  other  grains  might  be  bought  and  sold 
by  the  100  kilo*;  lOO  kuos  equal  220  46-100 
pounds.  When  wheat  Is  at  $1  30  per  weighed 
bushel  of  60  pounds,  the  price  is  $4  78  per  100_^ 
kiloK.'  A  difference  of  one  C4^nt  per  bushel  makes  a* 
difference  of  about  four  ceuti>  per  100  kilos.  When 
shelled  com  is  at  55  cents  per  weighed  bushel  of  56 
pounds,  the  price  Is  $2  16  per  100  kilos. 

When  rye  is  at  77  cents  per  weighed  bushel  of  56 
pounds  the  price  Is  $3  03  per  100  kilos. 

When  barley  is  $1  per  weighed  bushel  of  48  pounds 
the  price  Ik  $4  59  per  100  kitoTs. 

When  malt  Is  $1  per  weighed  bushel  of  33  pounds 
the  price  is  $5  80  uer  100  kilos. 
.  The  word  quintal  means  10(»  kilos. 

Asfcganls  quantity  of  weight  to  volume,  wheat  is 
now  graded  a»  weighing  not  less  than  60,  58,  56,  or 
54  pounds^o  the  measured  bushel. 

tjixty  pounds  per  bushel  is  equivalent  to  772^4 
grams  per  liter. 

Fifty-eight  pounds  per  bushel  is  eqtuvalent  to 
746^2  grams  per  liter, 

Flfty-slx  pounds  per  bushel  is  equivalent  to  72044 
grams  per  liter.  ,^ 

Fifty-four  pounds  pier  bushel  is  equivalent  to  695 
grams  per  liter. 

At  least,  that  is  the  grading  according  to  the  rules 
of  the  Milwaukee  Cham>>er  of  Commerce,  and  incase 
of  their  adopting  the  metric  weights  and  measures,  a 
slight  change  in  their  rules  would  get  rid  of  the  frac- 
tional quantities.  JAMES  M.  McKINLAY.

TCESOAT,  Ang.  28— P.  M. 
%  The  stock  speevlatlon  to-day  vns  rather 
indecisive  in  tone,  and  as  a  natural  conae(iusn(% 
the  opinions  of  operators  in  regard  to  the  future 
course  of  prices  were  greatly  at  varianae.  Not 
a  few  seem  to  be  impressed  with  the  belief  that 
-the  bull  movement  has  fairly  culminated,  and 
that  for  some  time  to  come  the  market  Is  likely 
to  feel  the  effect  of  realizations,  while  others 
again  regard  the  lower  range  of  prices  estab- 
lished during  the  past  few  days  as  nothing 
more  than  a  merely  temporary  reaction.  These 
who  hold  the  latter  view  base  their  espectatloos 
of  .  still  higher  prices  in  the  1  near  •  .future 
on  the  beneflts  to  result  to  the  railroads  from  , 
the  transportation  of  the  immense  crops  and 
upon  the  signs  of  reviving  prosperity  which  are 
everywhere  apparent  throughout  the  country. 
The  market  at  the  moment  it  must  be  acknowl- 
edged is  upheld  by  the  large  operators,  but 
these  claim  that  when  outsiders  appreciate  the 
changed  condition  of  business  they  will  ex- 
perience no  dii&enlty  in  disposing  at  thsir  hold- 
ings without  precipitating  a  decline  in  prices. 

The  market  opened  firm  lind  gsnerally  higher 
prices  prevailed  than  those  current  at  the  close 
yesterday,  but  before  the  first  call  there  was  • 
decline  of  I4  to  lio  **  c<jpt. :  Subsequently,  un- 
der brisk  purchases,  an  advance  of  ^toS^s  ^ 
cent. '  ensued,  but  during  the  afternoon  the 
market  became  heavy  and  the  Improvement  was 
nearly  all  lost

Creedmoor  nnge  bora  •  strong  rasemtdanee 
yvsterday  to  its  appeanfnee  on  the  days  of  the  inter- 
SAtional  match  last  year.  The  American,  Britiah, 
Amateur  Club,  and  NewOrleana  teams  were  all  pres- 
ent, and  «hot  over  the  rangM  at  800, 900,  snd  1,000 
yaidi,  sceompanled  by  sD  tlie  parsphenulla  that  win 
be  naed  in  the  international  matehet  next  month- 
The  British  team  did  not  reach  the  range  until  near- 
ly 11  o'doek— after  the  other  teams  had  fired  sev- 
eral shots  at  800  yarfls.  Upon  its  arrival  the  other 
teams  stopped  ihootliig  long  enough  to  receiv*  formal 
introdnctiona  to  the  strangers.  The  latter  did  not 
stop  long  for  ceremony,  bnt  went  immedlataiy  to 
their  reipeetlve  firing  points  on  the  right  of  the  field, 
and  trnpaeUng  their  gnna  went  to  work.  There 
were  13  shooting  memb«n  of  the  team,  who  were 
assigned  to  the  three  risht-hand  targets,  where  they 
were  sqnaddedfoor  on  each  of  two  targets,  and  five  on 
the  third.  Five  members  of  the  team,  FeterMn,  Plg- 
gott,  Humphrey,  and  the  two  Fentons,  shoot  in  the 
old-fashioned  militaTy  or  prone  position,  while  the 
others  shoot  Rccordinc  to  the  new  style — flying  on 
their  backs.  Mr.  Waller,  Oapt.  Bowlsby,  and  Mr. 
Annitage  kept  scores  on  the  several  targets,  and  Mrs. 
Armitage,  >ir8.  Humphreva,  and  Mrs.  Penton.  were 
interested  spectators.  The  weather  was  quite  hot, 
but  a  cool  breeze  blew  from  the  rear  of  the  firing 
point  toward  the  targets,  at  "from  5  to  6  o'clock," 
in  shootini;  parlance.  The  scores  of  the  British  team 
were  as  follows,  the  highest  attainable  number heing

The  committee  of  seven  had  a  meeting  in  reference 
to  the  request  of  Sir  Henry  Halford  for  extra  time  in 
which  to  practice,  and  decided  to  allow  the  British 
:eam  to  snoot  on  Friday  of  next  week,  if  the  troops 
jouldbe  induced  to  forego  their  practice  on  that  day. 
This  was  decided  by  Gen.  Dakin,  who  said  he  would 
countermand  the  order  directing  the  regiment  to 
shoot  at  Creedmoor  on  that  day,  as  it  happened  to  be 
in  his  division.  Capt.  Casey  was  appointed  a  commit- 
tee of  one  to  Inquire  who  had  invited  the  British 
team  to  visit  Bridgeport.  Conn-,  next  Thursday, 
frjthout  the  knowle^e-of  the  committee.

MATCH  BETWEEN  THE  JtJNJOB  ELEVENS  OP 
THE  ST.  GEORGE  AND  STATEN  ISLAND 
CLUBS— THE  FORMER  CLUB  VICTORIOUS— 
.THE   SCORES   ON  BOTH   SIDES. 

The  junior  elevens  of  the  St  George  Cricket 
Clnb  and  the  Staten  Island  Cricket  plob  played  a 
match  game  yesterday  on  the  grounds  of  the  former 
club  at  Hoboken.  Among  the  '  spectators  were  a 
number  of  mature  ericketers,  who  frequently  ap- 
plauded the  juvenile  players.  The  game  was  inter- 
esting, and  it  was  played  with  much  vim  and  spirit. 
The  players  were  between  9  and  ISj^ars  of  «ge, 
and  were  coached  by  Talbot,  Whetham,  Marsh, 
and  Houghton  in  tucns,  and  proved  quite 
active  and  deft  in  their  playing.  '  Tne 
umpires  were  Houghton  and  Talbot.  The 
St.  George's  were  the  first  to  go  to  the  bat,  with 
Campbell  and  Havens  at  the  wickets.  Campbell 
stood  for  16  points,  which  was  the  best  score  of  the 
inning.  The  St.  Georee's  mustered  but  eight  men. 
and  their  seven  wickets  went  down  for  46  runs.  In 
the  Staten  Islanders'  first  inning  the  highest  score 
was  made  by  Durand,  who  played  with  patience  snd 
coolness  for  5  points.  The  rest  of  his  colleagues 
were  disposed  of  for  22  runs.  The  St.  Qeorse'a 
made  89  ^uos  in  tfeeir  second  inning.  48  of  which 
were  credited  to  H.  CampbeU.  The  second  inning  of 
the  Staten  Islanders  netted  them  42  runs,  IS  of 
which  were  made  by  Durand.  H.  Campbell,  although 
a  junior  member  of  the  St.  George's  Club,  has  taken 
part  in  some  of  the  best  matches  that  .have  occurred 
on  the  Hoboken  grouuds,  and  it  is  to  his  playine  that 
h.\»  party  are  indebted  for  their  victory.  W.  T. 
Havens,  a  lad  of  11.  did  some  creditable  work  in  the 
field,  and  bowled  exceptionally  well,  taking  two 
wickets  and  catching  five  of  ills  oppoxwnta  out.  The 
following  is  the  score :  *

A  TRJiI2f  WRECKED  OX  A  DRSWBRIDQB. 

Engine  No.  18,  attached  to  a  Boston  peach 
train,  which  left  Harlem  River  at  1:20  F.  M.  yester- 
day, dropped  with  its  tender  Into  an  open  draw  at 
Bronx  Biver,  and  the  engineer,  James  Mawn,  of 
Kew-Haven,  was  Idlled.  Just  after  the  Philadelphia 
express  train  crossed  the  river,  carrying  an  extra- 
train  signal,  the  bridge  tender,  John  Savage,  opened 
the  draw  to  allow  a  tug  having  a  vessel  in  tow  to 
pass.  Ten  minutes  later,  and  before  the  draw  was 
closed,  the  extra  train  came  In  slg^t  at  the  curve,  a 
little  less  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile  distant,  and 
at  the  same  time  a  sloop  under  full  headway 
passed  the  lower  draw  about  100  yards  away.  .  The 
danger  signal  was  in  position,  and  Sava^  left  the 
draw  open  for  the  sloop,  which,  he  says,  had;  the 
right  of  way.  The  engineer  whistled  down  brakes, 
Out  the  train  was  heavy — 21  cars — and  the  brakes 
poor.  The  train  stopped  lust  too  late.  The  fireman, 
seeing  the  danger,  jumpea  off  before  the  trestle  was 
reached,  and  was  not  hart.  When  the  engineer  saw 
that  his  engine  must  go  down,  he  jum[>ea  into  the 
river,  and  it  is  supposed  stuck  in  the  mud  and  was 
drowned.  The  conductor,  Nelson  Bnrlingame,  and 
the  five  brakemen  escaped  without  injury.  The  en- 
gine, which  waB  the  last  one  turned  out  from  the 
shops,  and  wu  built  nnder  the  supervision 
of  its  engineer,  was  badly  broken,  and  the 
tender  was  slightly  damaged.  A  wrecking  train  waa 
Immediately  telegraphed  for,  and  upon  Its  arrival  a 
large  force  of  men  set  to  work  to  repair  the  track, 
which  had  been  somewhat  damaged,  and  to  draw  the 
tender  from  the  river.  When  the  tide  fell  the  engi- 
neer was  discovered  lying  in  the  mud,  but  lu  no  way 
mutilated.  The  body  was  taken  out  at  6:45,  and, 
being  placed  on  the  south  side  of  the  river,  lav  in 
New-York  City,  and  had  to  be  taken  to  the  Thtrty- 
fourth  Precinct  Station-house,  In  Tremont.  Coroner 
Croker  waa  notified.  Mr.  Mawn  had  been  in  the  em- 
ploy of  the  company  for  a  number  of  years  and  waa 
considered  very  competent.  He  was  about  45  years 
old  and  had  a  wife  and  family  in  New-Haven.  The 
peach  train  was  sent  back  to  the  river. 

STOLEN  BOOKS  REOOrERBD. 
The  eight  cases  of  books,  valoed  at  $2,500, 
consigned  from  Boston  to  George  A.  Leavltt  ACo., 
of  this  City,  which,  with  a  truck  on  which  they  had 
been  loaded,  were  stolen  on  Thursday  last  from  In 
front  of  the  Hudson  Blver  Railroad  Depot  In  Lalght- 
street,  were  re<tovered  yesterday  by  the  Police,  but 
the  thieves  were  not  arrested.  Information  was  re- 
ceived at  the  Central  Oflce  that  the  eases  were  in  a 
room  In  the  tenement-house  No.  169  Monroe-street, 
the  room  having  been  hired  by  a  stranger  on  the  day 
the  goods  were  brought  there.  Two  detectives  were 
detidled  to  watch  tlw  house,  and  did  so  for  several 
days,  in  the  hope  that  the  thieves  would  call  there 
again.  1^  tliis.the  Police  were  disappointed,  and  yes- 
terday the  officers  entered  the  house,  and,  taking  pos- 
session of  the  eoods,  took  them  to  Police  Head-quar- 
ters. F^m  one  of  the  residents  of  the  house  the 
Police  obtained  an  accurate  description  of  the  person 
who  had  hired  the  room,  and  search  i«  being  made 
for  him.

THS  VTSTSBT  SUBBOTTNDIKO  THE  BIBAPPXA&-

BBOOKLTKITE — COINCIDENCB8  THAT  MAT 
LEAD  TO  AJSOLUnON  OP  THE  HATTER— 
INVESTIOATIOK  BT  TH£'  BROOKLYN  PO- 
LICE AUTHORITIES. 
The  mysterious  disappearance  of  a  supposed 
Brooklynite  from  a  steamer  on  the  Ohio  River,  the 
particulars  of  which  were  detailed  in  The  Timss' 
OinetzuiAti  speoial  yesterday,  remaina  as  much  a  mya- 
tery  as  ever.  According  to  the  telegram  In  question, 
the  man  represented  himself  as  William  Martin,  of 
Warren  County.  Mo.  He  left  St.  Ifouis  on  the 
steamer  Mary  A.  Miller  fot  Cincinnati,  having  in  his 
possession  a  well-filled  tmnk,  a  shotgun,  snd  a  large 
amotmt  of  unmtmition.  During  the  trip  he  talked 
wildly  eoneeming  some  woman  with  ^hom  he  had 
had  trouble,  a^d  in  this  way  attraotM  the  atten- 
tion of  the  passengers.  At  Boston,  a  short 
distance  below  Ijouisville,  he  suddenly  disappeared. 
On  reaching  Cincinnati  his  trunk  was  opened  by  the 
Police,  who  found  in  it  among  other  tbings  a  shirt, 
the  sleeves  of  which  were  soaked  in  blood,  and  sev- 
eral  letters  addressed  to  ">T.  Bryant,  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.,"  and  others  to  "  M.  Wilson,  No.  211  Schenec- 
tady-avenue,  Brooklyu,  N.  Y.'*  Yesterday  a  TiMKa 
reporter,  with  some  dilBculty,  succeeded  in  finding  a 
house  in  the  outskirts  of  Brooklyn  which  answered 
to  the  above  number.  The  neighborhood  is  almost 
uninhabited,  and  the  hou.se  stands  alone  ou  the  sum- 
mit of  a  ridge,  running  through  Schenectady,  Utlca, 
and  other  recently  opened  avenues.  Thejowuer,  Mr. 
W.J.  Bryan  ana  lus  wife,  knew  nothing  of  "M. 
Wilson,"  and  waa  certain  that  nobody  of  that  name 
had  lived  in  the  vicinity  for  many  years.  They  bad 
a  son,  however,  William  Bryan,  aged  23,  who 
left  for  the  West,  some  months  since,  to 
seek  bis  fortnae,  and  who  when  last  heard  from  waa 
in  St.  Louis.  A  short  time  ago  he  wrote  back  for  a 
a  shot-Kun,  and  his  father  sent  him  by  express  a  fine 
double-barreled  weapon  of  the  best  quality.  Mr. 
Bryan  and  his  wife  Ejected  to  regard  the  possibility 
of  their  son  bein^  identical  with  the  person  named  in 
the  telegram  with  incredulity,  but  seemed  more 
worried  than  they  cared  to  admit  at  the 
untoward  coincidences  of  the  letters,  the  gun, 
and  the  stranger's  startinii;  point— St.  Louis. 
It  also  appears  that  youne  Bryan  has  a  brother  John, 
:^ed  16,  wbo  is  employed  as  messenger  with  a  New- 
York  firm,  and  who  may  have  been  the  '"J.  Bryant, 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,"  to  whom  the  other  letters  in  the 
stranger's  trunk  were  directed.  Mrs,  Bryan  said  yes- 
terday, "  I  have  not  the  slightest  fear  thatthe  person 
mentioned  ju  The  Times'  dispatch  is  my  son.  What 
worries  his  father  and  myseli:  i.^  the  fact  that  he  had 
a  considerable  sum  of  money— $400  or  more — with 
him,  and  may  have  fallen  a  prey  to  some  designing 
individuals.  I  cannot  believe  that  my  son  would  ap- 
pear under  such  an  assumed  nanie.  and  conduct  him- 
self so  quoerly,  and  I  know  that  if  it  had  been  him 
his  trunk  would  have  immediately  proclaimed  his 
identity,  as  it  contained  his  business  papers  and  other 
documents  showing  who  he  was."  Both  the  father 
and  mother  would  not  believe  that  their  son  could 
have  got  into  trouble  voth  some  woman,  but  the 
presence  of  the  bloody  shirt  in  the  trunk,  and  the 
awkward  coincidences  of  dates,  address,  &c.,  plainly 
troubled  them.* 

The  theory  which  meets  with  most  favor  is  that 
young  Bryan  had  met  with  foul  play,  either  In  St. 
Louis  or  some  part  of  Mis.souri,  at  the  hands  of  some 
desperado,  who  had  afterward  absconded  with  his 
victim's  trunk  conlaioing  the  evidences  of  his  crime. 
Mrs.  Bryan  still  clings  to  the  hope  that  the  affair  is 
only  an  extraordinary'  oomcideuce,  or  that,  at  the 
worst,  her  son's  letters  have  been  lost  and  afterward 
picked  up,  or  in  some  way  come  into  the-'^secssion 
of  others.  Young  Bryan  s  last  letter  was  dated  St. 
Louis,  Aug.  15,  at  which  time  be  was  in  exc<lh»nt 
health  and  snihts.  The  only  Martin  known  to  the 
family  is  a  William  Martin,  residing  on  Utica-avenue, 
near  Atlantic,  and  who  Is  an  empMye  in  the  Navy- 
yard.  Neither  himself  nor  his  family,  however,  could 
throw  any  light  on  the  affair.  Young  Bryan  is  de- 
scribed by  those  who  know  him  as  of  meditun  size, 
light  complexion,  and  generally  unassuming  appear- 
ance. 

Yesterday  afternoon  the  attention  of  Inspector 
Waddy,  of  Brooklyn,  was  called  to  the  dlnpatch  pub- 
lished in  The  Times,  and  he  immediately  caused  a 
dispatch  to  be  sent  to  the  Captain  of  the  Twelfth 
Precinct,  instructing  him  to  go  at  once  to  the  resi- 
dence of  William  Bryan,  thoroughly  investigate  the 
case,  and  report  immediately  to  head-quarters  by 
telegraph.  Sftortly  afterward  the  Inspector  received 
a  dispatch  from  the  Captain  of  the  TEdrteenth,  stat- 
ing that  Mr.  J.  Bryan,  the  brother  of  the  young 
man  who  went  West,  was  at  the  station- 
house,  and  stated  that  his  brfither  left  home  about 
five  mouths  ago.  He  said  that  he  received  atelegram 
from  him  froii^  St.  Loui^  statinc  that  he  left  there 
on  the  16th  of  this  month  for  Cincinnati,  and  that 
that  was  the  last  he  bad  heard  of  him.  He  also  in- 
formed the  Captain  that  he  did  not  know  anybody 
named  "M.  Wilson.''  Laterin  the  evening  a  yonncer 
brother  of  the  young  man  who  is  supposed  to  be 
ndssin^;  visited  Police  Head -quarters"  ana  had  an 
lnter\new  with  Inspector  Waddy.  He  could  simply 
rorroborate  what  has  already  been  stated,  bnt  could 
furnish  very  little  which  would  throw  any  additional 
light  upon  the  mysterf-.  He  said  that  his  brother 
had  traded  some  property  in  Brooklyn  for  a  farm  In 
Warrenton,  Warretf  County,  Mo.,  which  Is  a  small 
town  on  the  Missouri  Pacific  Railroad,  not  far  from 
St.  Louis.  He  made  a  bargain  with  a  man  in  Brook- 
lyn, without  seeing  the  property  for  which  he  traded, 
and  when  he  went  Wept 'took  considerable  money 
with  him.  intending,  if  he  liked  the  country  and  waa 
satisfied  with  his  farm,  to  settle  there  permanently. 
When  he  arrived  therehe  waa  disgusted  with  the  farm 
and  determine  not  to  remain.  Considerable  corres- 
pondence hod  passed  between  the  young  man  and  hla 
friends  herg,  and  by  its  aid  they  came'Tn  possession 
of  the  above  facts.  In  one  of  the  letters  hfi  Informed 
hi*  tjrother  that  he  intended  to  leave  Warrenton  on 
the  18th  of  the  present  month  and  go  to  Cincinnati, 
where  he  should  endeavor  to  trade  his  farm  in  War- 
renton for  one  in  Ohio,  near  Cincinnati.  Instead  of 
leaving  Warrenton  on  the  IStb,  he  left  on  the 
16th,  went  to  St.  Louis,  and  outbe  17th  telegraphed 
to  his  friends  the  fact  that  he  left  on  the  16th.  He 
had  written  that  he  was  golug  by  steam-boat  frdtn  St, 
Louis  to  Cincinnati,  which  voyage,  owing  to  the  low 
stage  of  water  in  the  river,  would  require  two  or 
three  weeks.  Young  Bryan  said  his  brother  had  no 
trunk,  bnt  a  valise.  All  these  things  taken  into  con- 
sideration, the  Inspector  said  there  could  be  no 
doubt  that  the  prox)eriy  found  belonged  to  young 
Bryan,  but  whether  the  man  who  left"  the  boat  at 
Boston  was  he  or  somebody  els^  remains  to 
be  ascertained.  Ho  telegraphed  last  night  to 
the  Chief  of  Police  of  ('incinnati  request- 
ing him  to  ascertain  all  the  pariicnlars 
of  the  finding  of  the  trunk.  amL^elegraph  them 
immediately.  He  expects  to  hear  from  the  Cincinnati 
authorities  this  morning.  The  Inspector  said  that 
he  had  BO  donbt  that  there  was  something  vrrong 
about  the  case,  and  expressed  an  opinion  that  ii 
young  Bryan  was  living  his  friends  would,  of  course, 
bear  nrom  him  at  once.  He  said  that  he  questioned 
yo'iug  Bryan  very  closely  In  regard  to  the  Intimation 
in  the  special  dispatch  that  there  was  a  woman  in 
the  ca»e,  and  the  ooy  was  emphatic  iu  his  disbelief 
that  there  was  any  foundation  for  this  rumor.

STRIKE  OF  CIGAR-MAKERS, 


THE  XNEPPICIENCT  OF  THE  NSW  TAMMANY 
CLERK  OP  WASHiNGTON"  MABKET — GOOD 
MEAT  SEIZED  AND  THROWN  AWAY  BY 
THE  AMATEUR  BUTCHER— COMPLAINTS 
or   STALL-KEEPERS. 

A  few  days  ago  The  Times  published  an  ar- 
ticle which  proved  conclusively  that  John  Keenen, 
the  Tammany  liquor-seller,  who  was  recently  ap- 
pointed clerk  of  Washington  Market,  neither  know 
the  duties  of  his  new  office  nor  made  any  pretense  of 
endeavoring  to  learn  and  fulfill  them.  It  was  also 
shown  that  from  the  date  of  his  appointment  to  sue- 
eeed  Mr.  John  N.  Cornell  up  to  the  time  the  article 
was  published,,  he  had  been  absent  from  the  market 
almost  eycTf  day  in  attendance  upon  the  picnics  of 
the  Democratic  awodations  of  bis  district.  The  in- 
ference from  the  latter  fact  4s,  that  Keenan  is  deter- 
mined to  attend  to  tlw  political  interests  of  Tam- 
many HaH,  knowing  that  if  he  does  this  he  will  be 
kept  in  his  present  position  by  **  Boss  "  Kelly,  lu 
spite  of  his  obvious  unfitness  for  it,  and  in  defiance 
of  proteets  uttered  by  good  citlzena.  All  the  stall- 
keepers  in  Washington  Market  are  Indlcuant  at  the 
removal  of  the  former  efficient  clerk  of  the  market, 
Mr.  Jolin  N.  Cornell,  but  dare  not  speak  loudly 
against  Keenan,  for  the  reason  that  their  stands 
may  be  taken  from  them  summarily.  In  private 
they  say  that  Keenan,  if  he  had  the  will 
and  energy  requisite,  could  not  properly  discharge 
the  dnties  of  his  position  on  account  of  his  lack  of  ex- 
perience and  technical  knowledge.  The  proof  of  this 
is  found  in  the  record  of  his  official  action  during  last 
week.  Since  the  publication  in  Thi  TliiKS  of  the 
article  alluded  to  above,  Keenan  has  made  several 
attempts  t2»  prevent  the  sale  of  foul  meats  in  the 
mark0t  and  its  neighborhood.  The  restilt  of  most  of 
his  efforts  have  been,  however,  unnecessary  annoy- 
ance to  market-men  in  the  seizure  on  their  stands  of 
meats  that,  it  is  claimed  by  all  the  but<^ers  who  saw 
them  after  seizure,  were  not  diseased,  or  In  any  way 
unfit  for  use.  Mr.  Keenan's  first  seiztire  was 
made  on  Wednesday,  Aug.  22.  when,  acting  under 
the  advice  of  Mr*  *'  Wash  "  Romalne.  a  butcher  In 
the  maricet,  he  took  from  the  stand  of  Eiseman  & 
Co.  a  quantity  of  diseased  beef.  After  this  Mr. 
Bomatne  went  with  Keenan  through  the  market,  and 
explained  to  him  the  difference  in  the  appearance  of 
gf>od  and  bad  meats.  Thinking  that  ho  had  learned 
all  that  was  necessary  for  him  to  know.  Keenan  made 
an  inspection  of  the  market  on  Thursday,  and  on  the 
stand  of  R.  Madden  found  a  quantity  of  what  he 
supposed  to  be  bad  meat.  This  he  seized  and 
carted  away  to  the  dump.  A  number  of 
butchers  who  witnessed  the  selxnre  declare 
that  the  greater  part  of  the  meat  waa 
of  first-class  quality.  Cm  the  following  day  Keenan 
took  from  Wiseman's  stand  another  lot  of  beef, 
which  the  butchers  assert  was  fit  for  food.  He  then 
made  a  survey  of  the  stands  on  Vesey'Street.  be* 
tween  Greenwich  and  Washington,  whore  the  very 
poor  people  and  the  very  mean  boarding-house- 
keepers make  their  purchases.  There,  as  a  matter 
of  oonrse,  he  found  a  large  qnaotity  of  bad  meat, 
and  seized  it.  The  remarks  of  Uie  butters  who  saw 
him  condemn  good  beef  on  the  stands  of  Madden  and 
Eiseman,  it  seems,  affected  the  mind  (k  Keenan,  and 
erased  him  to  beHeve  that  he  had  not  learned  every- 
thing about  the  batcher's  trade  in  one  short  da/s 
tuition ;  BO  on  Saturday  he  again  procured  the  aid  of 
Mr.  Bomaine.  After  inspecting  the  market  he  went

CIGARS" — THE   CptAB-MAKERS'   UNION. 

More  than  300  ci^aiMiuikera  in  this  City  are 
now  on  sMke,  bnt  there  is  no  reason  to  believe  that 
the  movement  will  become  general,  or  that  it  will 
affect  the  price  of  cdgan  to  any  greas  e:£tent.  The 
strike,  up  to  last  evenlzig,  was  confined  to  the  manu. 
factories  of  Frederick  De  Barry '&  Co.,  on  the  comer 
of  Blrington  and  Attorney  streets  ;  Kimball,  Oaul- 
lieur  &  Co.,  No.  34  Hurray-street ;  Stachelberg  SB 
Co.,  on  Libertr^-sfreet,  between  Broadway  and 
Chureh-stieet ;  Pohalski  &  Guerra,  on  the  comer  of 
Maiden-lane  and  William-street,  and  the  factory  of 
M.  J.  G^djinski,  whomakes  the  tit-bit  cigarette,  which 
is  simply  a  small  cigar,  at  No.  93  Warren-street.  In 
the  last-mentioned  establishment  the  strike  began  yes- 
terday. Mr.  Grodjinski  employed  60  men.  He 
paid  them  $4  for  maklog  X,OuO  cigars,  and  they 
asked  for  $5,  and  when  he  refused  to  accede  to  their 
demand  they  all  stopped  work.  Mr.  Grodjinski  was 
undecided  yesterday  afternoon  as  to  what  course  he 
should  ptirsue.  He '  had  plenty  of  orders  to  fill,  he 
said.  A  good  worker  in  his  establishment  could 
average  from  $10  to  $12  a  Week.  The  cigar-makers 
eniplocred  by  Morris  Jacoby,  at  No.  22  RidKe-street, 
have  not  struck,  but  5fr.  Jaooby  said  yesterday  after- 
noon to  a  reporter  of  THE  TtUES  that  he  had  heard 
murmurings  among  his  workmen,  and  could 
not  tell  how  soon  they  would  demand 
h^her  rates.  It  would  be  difficult  for  any 
cliquQ  among  the  cigar-makers  to  institute  a 
general  strike.  No  two  establishments  pay  exactly 
the  same  rates,  and  the  old  Cigar-makers  Union  was 
pretty  well  disorganized  several  years  ago  when  the 
Bohemians  and  Germans  in  the  east  side  streets, 
down  town,  becaa  the  manufacture  of  cigars  under 
contract  with  the  dealers  who  furnished  the  stock,  in 
their  own  homes.  "NVhat  people  in  the  cigar  trade 
call  "tenement-house  cigars  '  are  very  profitable  ar- 
tides.  Their  manufacture  is  paid  for  at  the  rate  of 
from  $2  to  $3  a  thousand,  and  as  frequently  a  family 
of  six  or  eiglit  persons  are  engaged  on  one  batch  of 
work,  they  are  made  up  very  quickly.  Mr.  F.  B. 
Thurber,  of  the  firm  of  H.  K.  &  P.  B.  I^hurber,  said 
yesterday  to  a  Times  reporter  that  some  of  the  cigars 
sold  by  that  firm  were  made  iu  tenement-houses,  the 
firm  furnishing  the  stock  and  paying  the  Government 
duties.  They  had  a  factory,  also,  he  said,  at  Nos. 
41  and  43  Bowery,  but  there  had  been  no  symptoms 
of  a  strike,  althongh  he  cotild  not  tell  how  soon 
there  would  be  one.  Strikes  in  the  cigar  trade,  he 
said,  were  of  frequent  occurrence.  Mr.  Hirsch,  of  the . 
firm  of  J.  &  C.  Hirsch,  cigar  manufacturers, 
at  No.  122  Chambers-street,  said  that  there  had  been 
no  strike  in  his  establishment,  and  that  there  waa  no 
likelihood  of  any.  Mr.  J.Gompers,whoisinMr.  Hirsch's 
employ,  is  the  President  of  tho  Cigar-makers'  Union, 
which  meets  at  No.  28  Stanton  street.  He  said  to. 
The  Times  reporter  that  the  cigar  makers  belonging 
to  only  one  establishment  in  which  a  strike  had 
occurred  belonged  to  the  Cigar-makers'  Union.  That 
was  tho  manufactory  of  Stachelbere  &  Co.  The 
strike  there  was  not  primarily  for  higher  wages. 
Mr.  Stachelberg  employed  asorterof  tobacco  who  was 
very  obnoxious  to  the  dgar-makers,  and  who,  Mr. 
Gompers  said,  interfered  so  much  with  their  work 
that  It  frequently  took  them  a  quarter  of  an  hour  to 
make  a  cigar  which  could  bo  made  in  from  three  to 
six  minutes.  The  strikers,  who,  according  to  Mr. 
Gompers,  comprised  37  men  and  women,  demanded 
either  the  removal  of  the  obnoxious  sorter  or  else  an 
Increase  o^31  a  thousand  cigars.  The  Cigar-makers' 
Union,  according  to  its  President,  intends  to  uphold 
Mr.  Stachelberg's  workmen  and  workwomen  in  their 
strike. 

Mr.  Stachelberg.  whose  manufactory  is  at  No.  92 
Liberty -street,  said  that  he  employed  about  100  per- 
apns.  40  of  whom  stopped  work  last  Wednesday. 
They  said  that  they  objected  to  one  of  the  sorters  m 
the  establishment,  but  expressed  themselves  vriUing 
to  work  at  increased  rates.  Mr.  Stachelberg  had  not 
acceded  to  their  demand,  and  did  not  Intend  to  do  so. 
A  good  clear-maker  in  his  factory  could  make  from 
$lo  to  $'J0  a,  week.  None  but  the  best  grades  of 
cigars  were  niade  there,  and  the  rates  of  payment 
were  from  $11  to  $35  a  thousand.  Of  the  sort  for 
which  he  paid  $11  a  man  could  make  between  1,200 
and  1.300  a  week:  and  between  700  and  800  of  the 
best  brands,  which  require  very  careful  labor,  could 
be  made.  Only  those  who  worked  on  the  seed 
Havana  cigars  had  stjpick,  and  he  bad  about  60 
cigar-makers  still  at  work  on  imported  leaf. 
3Ir.  Pohalski.  of  Pohalski  &  Guerra,  at  the  comer  of 
Maiden-lane  and  Williara-street,  said  that  there  had 
been  no  strike  in  his  establishment.  He  had  been 
paying  very  higtj  rates — from  $12  to  $35  a  thousand 
— and  last  week  had  heard  grumblings,  and  noticed 
other  sjTnptoms  of  a  coming  strike,  whereat  he  had 
p'roropUy  discharged  all  of  his  workmen — 75  in 
number — and  engaged  new  ones  at  the  old  rates. 
Mr.  Gaullieur,  of  i^ssrs.  Kimball,  GauUieur  &  Co.. 
of  No.  34  Murray -street,  said  that  a  number  of  the 
workmen  of  that  establishment,  those  employed  on 
cigars  of  the  Concha  size,  struck  last  week.  Their 
rates  of  payment  had  been  decrea.H«?d.  Thi.-i  step  was 
necepsary.  he  .said,  in  order  to  compete  with  the  man- 
ufacturers who  made  their  cigars  with  molds.  All 
the  work  in  bis  establLshment  waa  hand-work.  The 
lowest  weekly  average  of  any  workman  there  before 
the  reduction  bad  been  $9  75,  and  a  good  workman 
could  have  made  from  $12  to  $14  a  week.  The  re- 
duction was  at  the  rate  of  not  more  than  $1  a  week. 

The  cigar  manufactory  of  Messrs.  Freilerick  De 
Bary  &  Co.,  at  the  comer  of  Rlviugton  and  Attorney 
streets,  was  closed  yesterday.  The  doors' were 
locked  and  most  of  the  windows  shut  and  barred. 
The  Times  reporter,  however,  obtained  admit- 
tance to  the  presence  of  Mr.  Monue,  the  Superin- 
tendent of  the  establishment,  who,  in  scant  attire^ 
was  packing  cigars  himself  in  the  absefice  of/ 
assistants.  Mr.  Monne  explained  minutely  the  cau!i« 
9f  the  strike  in  that  factory.  They  were  paying,,^ 
insisted,  higher  rates  than  any  other  factory  in  the 
City ;  that  is  to  say,  comparatively  higher  rates. 
Only  mold-work  was  done.„  and  they  had  paid  $6 
a  thousand  for  the  Reina  Victoria  size  and  $o  50  for 
the  Concha  size.  About  the  Ist  of  July  the  cigar- 
makers  were  informed  that  their  rate  of  payment 
would  be  reduced^  50  cents  a  thousand,  and  the 
bunchers,  who  m"ake  the  inside  of  the  cigars, 
were  told  that  tbey  would  be  reduced  25  cents  a 
thousand.  They  were  given  a  week's  notice  of  the 
reduction,  and  Mr.  Munne  heard  no  complaints. 
About  two  weeks  ago  it  was  decided  to  pay  the 
bunchers,  who  were  making  very  lltt^  money,  at  the 
old  rates  again.  Then  the  cigar-makers,  120  in  ntun- 
ber.  men  and  women,  struck.  The  books  showed 
that  the  weekly  accounts  ranged  from  $13  for  good 
workers  to  $5  50  or  $6  for  plow  ones.  After  the 
strike  some  of  them  wanted  to  return  to  work,  bnt  the 
others  had  prevented  them.  Mr.  Monne  said  that  he 
had  cigars  enough  ou  baud  to  last  for  several  months. 

CHARGES  AGAINST  OITT  MARSHALS. 
There  were  some  interesting  developments 
yesterday  in  the  recently  published  case  of  Henry 
Singer,  who  was  arraigned  a  few  days  ago  at  the 
Essex  Market  Police  Court  on  a  charge  of  obtaining 
money  tinder  false  pretenses.  It  appears  that  Singer 
waa  recently  appointed  a  Marshal  by  Mayor  Ely.  A 
few  days  later,  notielng  the  account  in  The 
Times  of  Singer's  acts,  the  Mayor  referred  tho 
matter  to  Chief  Clerk  Hardy,  with  instructions 
to  make  an  investigation.  The  case,  was 
a  dvil  suit  In  the  Fourth  District  Court,  in  which 
judgment  had  been  entered  by  Judge  Dinkle  against 
the  defendants,  Patrick  Parks,  of  No.  75  Orchard- 
street,  and  Christopher  Murray.  An  execution  was 
fiven  to  Marshal  Frank  O'Donnell,  with  Instructions 
0  levy  immediately.  The  execution  was  given  by  , 
O'Donnell  to  Singer,  and  the  Utter,  in  company  with  t' 
the  Marshal,  went  to  the  counsel  of  the  defendants,  ' 
Mr.  Frank  Trautman,  and,  representing  himself  to 
be  the  Marshal  and  bis  companion  as  his  clerk, 
stated  that  if  Trautman  would  induce  his 
clients  to  give  him  [Singer!  $50  he  would  give 
him  $20  bonus,  and  postpone  levying  on  their  stock 
until  the  next  afternoon,  to  give  tbem  time  to  file  an 
appeid  bond.  On  the  other  nand.  If  the  money  was 
not  forthcoming  he  would  go  to  Murray's  establish- 
ment and  "rip  out "  everything  in  it.  Finding  it 
impossible  to  get  the  $50.  he  finally  accepted  $20 
from  Mr.  Parks  and  left,  admonishing 
^e  defendants  that  nothing  must  be  said  about 
the  matter  to  the  plaintiffs  in  the  case. 
In  compliance  with  his  instructions  Chief  Clerk 
Hardy  began  an  investigation,  and  yesterday  formal 
complaint  was  made  against  both  Singer  and  Mar- 
shal O'Donnel,  the  latter  being  charged  with  neglect 
of  duty  in  permitting  Singer  to  sc^-ept  the  $20,  and

The  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Crime  in 
Jersey  City  have  condluded  to  send  to  the  Supreme 
Court  the  cases  of  liquor  dealers  who  have  been  ao-  • 

?ntt€d  of  charges  of  selling  liouor  without  license, 
he  dealers  in  no  cases  offeree  proofs  that  they  had 
licenses,  but  rested  their  defense  upon  the  produc- 
tion of  City  Clerk  Scott's  receipts  for  the  license 
fees  rfhich  tbe  ordinance  requires  them  to  pay  when 
they  make  application  for  a  license.  The  society's 
counsel  objected  to  the  introduction  of  these  receipts 
in  evidence,  but  the  courts  admitted  them,  and  up^n 
them  the  verdicts  of  acquittal  were  based.  It  is  the 
opinion  of  many  lawyers  in  Jersey  City  that  the  re- 
ceipts ought  not  to  have  been  admitted,  asd  that  the 
cases  will  be  sent  back  for  trial.

LONG  ISLAND. 

The  excessive  heat  of  yesterday  rendered  the 
stenches  from  the  bone-boUiiig  and  fat-rendering 
establishments  of  Long  Island  City  doubly  insuffera-

nuisances  have  been  stopped  through  the  efforts  of 
Messrs.  Downing  and  Stanbrough,  Judge  Barnard 
TrtftVing  the  injunctions  against  them  perpetual.

ing  that  the  amount  of  travel  across  their  bridge  ' 
over  Newtown  Creek  would  not  payfor  the  necessary,

tempted  to  sell  their  franchise  to  the  authorities  of 
Kin^  and  Queens  Counties  for  $9,000,  but  failed, 
and  have  now  probably  taken  this  course  to  induce-a 
compliance  with  their  terms.

THE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 
At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Health  yester- 
day Dr.  Janes,  the  Assistant  Sanitary  Superintend- 
ent, called  the  attention  of  the  board  to  the  escape  of 
five  '  Texan  steers  from  a  herd  wliich  was  being 
:  driven  through  the  streets  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
■^City,  on  Saturday  last,  and  to  the  consequent  excite- 
ment and  danger  to  pedestrians  caused  by  their 
subsequent  career,  and  in  strong  terms  condemned 
the  practice  of  driving  such  cattle  through  the  City. 
On  the  recommendation  of  the  Sanitary  Committee 
it  was  resolved  "  that  no  cattle  known  as  Texas 
or  Colorado  cattle  shall  be  driven  through  the  streets, 
and  such  cattle  can  in  future  only  be  delivered  at 
such  slaughter-houses  as  can  be  entered  from  the 
docks  without  the  possibility  of  cattle  escaping  into 
the  streets."  The  Police  Department  was  requested 
to  enforce  the  above  regulation,  and  an  invitation 
was  sent  to  all  the  slaughterers  of  Texas  and  Col- 
orado cattle  to  be  present  at  the  meeting  of  the 
board  on  Sept.  4,  for  the  ptirpose  of  consultation 
on  tbe  subject.  The  Sanitary  Superintendent  was 
directed  to  discharge  the  fruit  inspectors  on  the  3lst 
inst.  A  complaint  was  received  in  relation  to  the 
foul  odors  emanating  from  the  dumping  dock  at  the 
foot  of  Laight-street,  North  River,  and-  it  was  or- 
dered that  the  wharf  and  scows  alongside  be  disin- 
fected It  .was  also  ordered  that  the  tenement- 
house  No.  146  Chatham-street,  owned  by. Morris 
Levy,  be  vacated  forthwith,  as,  by  reason  of  its  want 
of  repiur,  the  building  is  dangerous  to  life  and  detri- 
mental to  health. 

The  following  is  a  synopsis  of  the  weekly  report  of 
Dn  John  T.  Nagle.  Deputy  Register  of  Records,  to 
the  Board  of  Health :  Five  htmdred  and  ninety-six 
deaths  were  reported  in  the  City  during  the  week 
ending  -Saturday,  Aug.  25,  being  an  increase  of  43 
deaths  as  compared  with  the  number  reported  the 
preceding  week,  and  24  more  than  the  number  re- 
ported for  the  corresponding  week  of  1S76.  The 
actual  mortality  for  the  week  ending  Auc.  IS,  1S77, 
was  583.  which  is  7  below  the  average  for  the  cor^ 
responding  weeks  of  the  past  five  years,  and  repre- 
sents an  annual  death  rate  of  28.08  per  1.000  per-

TTTO  CONFLICTING  TERDICTS. 
For  the  last  week  or  10  days  Coroner  Crane, 
of  Hoboken,  has  been  engaged  in  holding  an  inquest, 
at  large  expense  to  the  county,  over  the  remains  of 
Mrs.  Mary  Eckert,  who  fell  or  was  thrown  from  the 
window,  of  her  house  on  Pafcerson-avenue,  West 
Hoboken,  two  weeks  ago,  and  who  died  in  conse- 
quence of  her  injuries.  In  order  to  swell  the  cost  of 
the  inquest  to  as  large  a  figure  as  the  circumstances 
would  admit,  he  has  sworn  witness  after  witness  to 
the  fact  that  she  was  found  lying  in  the  alleyway 
after  her  fall,  and  to  the  fact  of  her  being  removed 
into  the  house  and  her  death  an  hour  afterward  ;  but 
he  has  thrown-  no  possible  licht  upon  tlje  quection 
whether  she  was  thrown  out  by  her  husband  or 
jumped  or  fell  out  without  his  aid-  The  only  evi- 
dence bearing  at  all  upon  tbe  guilt  or  innocence  of 
her  husband,  who  is  in  '.custody,  was  that  given  by 
himself,  and  he  of  course  'stoutly  denied  that 
he  had  bad  any  hand  in  her  death.  The  jurv  retired 
to  deliberate  at  10:30  on  Monday  night.  They  quar- 
reled and  debated  till  3:30  yesterday  momicg.  when 
they  informed  the  Coroner  that  they  could  not  agree. 
Seven  of  them  desired  to  implicate  the  husband,  the 
remaining  five  desired  to  acquit  him.  The  Coroner 
agreed  to  accept  both  verdicts,  and  at  4  o'clock,  the 
jurors  havjng  put  their  findings  In  such  English  as 
they  could,  returned  to  the  room,  and  the  verdicts 
were  delivered  to  fhe  Coroner.  One  of  "the  findings 
declares  positively  that  'Eckert  threw  his  wife  from 
the  window  and  the  other  that  she  jtimped  out  her- 
self. There  was  no  evidence  to  support  either  ver- 
dict. Coroner  Crane  still  holds  Eckert,  however, 
and  says  that  he  will  lay  the  matter  before  the  Grand 
Jury. ^_

Diss  MoiNES,  Iowa,  Aug.  29. — A  terrible 
aecidont  occairsd  at  2:30  o'clock  this  morning 
on  the  Chicago  and  Bock  Island  Bailroad,  at 
Fonr  MBe  Creek,  three  miles  west  of  Altoona 
and  seven  miles  east  of  this  city.  At  the  time 
a  tremendoas  shower  of  rain  pre'miled.  The 
creek,  which  in  ordinary  times  has  but  little 
water,  is  spanned  by  an  arched  culvert,  which  is 
supported,  as  an  additional  precantion,  by 
wooden  piles  resting  on  a  stone  foundation. 
The  train  consisted  of  an  engine,  Bar- 
nom's  advertising  car,  one  baggage  car,  three 
coaches,  and  a  sleeper,  and  was  running 
at  ordinary  speed.  It  appToa»hed  the  culvert, 
and  the  engine  ran  partially  across,  when  there 
was  a  sudden  crash,  and  all  but  the  sleeper, 
which  became  detached,  went  down  the  chasm. 
The  engine  'was  thrown  against  the  embank- 
ment, clear  across  the  opening.  Bamum's 
advertising  car,  nert  the  engine,  was 
oompletely  demolished,  the  baggage  car 
crushing  dear  through  it  to  the  opposite  bank 
alongside  the  engine,  and  partially  covering  the 
latter.  The  first  coach  telescoped  the  second, 
and  both  of  these  went  half  way  through 
the  third,  and  the  three  lay  with  their 
ends  in  the  water.  The  telescoping  evi- 
dently was  caused  by  the  elevation 
of  the  rear  end  of  each  as  it  pitched  over  the 
bank.  The  sleeper  remaihed  on  the  track  at 
the  end  of  the  culve^,  and  the  occupants  es- 
caped unhurt  As  far  se  known,  18  persons 
were  killed  outright,  and  a  large  number 
were  wounded.  It  is  probable,  however, 
that  the  list  of  killed  may  be  increased,  as  it  is 
feared  that  a  number  of  bodies  are  still  under 
the  wreck.  It  is  also  supposed  that  several  have 
floated  down  the  stream.  The  water  in  the 
channel  at  the  time  of  the  accident  was  very 
deep. 

The  following  list  of  tdlled  and  injured  and 
missing  has  been  prepared  by  Jlr.  Eoys,  Divi- 
"ion  Superintendent:

A  fozions  ■tonafreTsUed  about  the  time  the 


accident  occurred,  and  some  time  previous  t^e 
rain  came  down  in  torrents,  and,  te 
the  judgment  of  the  old  inhabitants  iMsre, 
who  are  ever  infallible  on  such  points, 
it  never  WIS  known  to  rain  harder  hereabouts. 
The  creek  is  very  small  and  usually  hss  little 
water  in  it,  nut  the  heavy  rsins  swti[]pi  it  sud- 
denly to  a  large  stream,  which  undermined  the 
foundations  of  the  culvert  The  train  which 
went  down  was  the  Pacific  express,  which 
left  Chicago  at  10:15  Monday  moming 
and  was  nearly  on  time  here.  Had  the  train 
safely  passed  Over  the  culvert  the  calamity 
might  have  been  a  hundred  times  worse.  It 
was  ascertained  after  tHe  disaster  that  a  good- 
sized  bridge  just  one  mile  west  of  the  scene 
of  the  disaster  had  been  washed  out  Had 
the  train  gone  down  that  chasm  it  is 
hardly  probable  any  of  those  on  board  would 
have  escaped  unhurt.  /This  road  is  carefully 
managed.  No  amount  of  foresight  could  have 
prevented  the  accident  of  this  moming.  The 
track  between  Des  Moines  and  Altoona,  where 
the  accident  occurred,  was  in  good  con- 
dition, and  the  arched  stone  culvert 
which^ve  away  and  which  caused  the  disaster, 
was  so  well  constructed  that  it  was  thought  it 
would  last  forever.  Mr.  Hugh  Riddle.  Presi- 
dent of  the  road,  passed  over  this  very  point 
last  night  and  found  everthing  ta  good  order. 
Sir.  Eoys,  Superintendent  of  this  division, 
was  on  the  fated  train,  but  was  not  injured.  He 
made  all  possible  efforts  to  aljeviate  the  soffer- 
ings  of  the  wounded,  and  ha3  the  bodies  of  the 
killed  tenderly  cared  tor.  As  soon  as  possible 
he  sent  full  particulars  of  the  accident  to  Mr. 
Riddle  at  Chicago.  Nearly  the  entire  day 
was  consumed  taking  out  the  dead  bodies.  As 
soon  as  the  debris  ^vas  removed  a  temporary 
bridge  was  placed  across  the  culvert,  and  the 
trains  are  now  running  as  usual.  It  is  thought 
that  the  missing  bodies  wUl  all  be  found  to- 
morrow. 

THE  NEWS   DT  THIS  CITT. 

A  Times  reporter  last  night  sought  for 
information  concerning  the  men  reported  killed 
who  oelonged  to  Bamum's  traveling  show,  in 
the  saloon  of  Frank  Whittaker,  on  Fourth- 
avenue,  a  favorite  gathering  place  of  the  show 
people.  Mr-  J.  J.  Nathans,  who  is  connected 
with  the  Bamum  show,  was  there,  and  he  said 
that  he  had  received  a  dispatch  from  Mr.  Bai- 
ley, one  of  its  managers,  dated  at  Hannibal, 
Mo.,  saying:  **  .-Vdvertising  car  smaahed  all  to 
pieces,  and  seven  menkilled."  He  had  received 
no  further  information,  and  did  not  recognize 
the  six  names  of  the  killed  in  the  prei^s  dispatch. 
The  advertising  car,  he  said,  carried  what  is 
known  as  the  "paste  brigade."  The  paste 
brigade  -iollows  in  the  wake  of  the  ad- 
vance agent  of  the  show.  Their  car  is 
attached  to  any  sort  of  a,  train — cattle, 
coal,  freight  or  passenger  train— and  they  are 
always,  as  s  matter  of  course,  in  advance  of  the 
main  body  of  the  show,  as.  after  they  finish  put- 
ting up  their  posters,  they  go  on  to  another 
town.  The  men  whose  names  are  ^ven  in  the 
dispatch  may  have  been  engaged  in  this  Citv  in 
the  Spring,  or  they  may  have  been  picked  up 
along  the  route.  At  any  rate  they  are  not 
known  among  the  show  people.  Seven  men  are 
reported  killed,  however,  and  only  six  names 
sent  The  chief  of  the  paste  brigade  was  Fred- 
erick Keeler,  a  veteran  in  the  business,  and 
much  admired  among  his  fellows.  Keeler  is 
described  as  a  man  of  30  years  or  thereabouts, 
who  has  a  family  living  in  Flushing.  As  his 
name  was  not  telegraphed,  his  friends  nope  that 
he  escaped. 

OTBEB  RAILROAD  ACCIDSNTS. 

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  29.— A  freight 
train  on  the  Indianapolis,  Cincinnati,  and  La- 
fayette Bailroad  ran  off  the  track  yesterday  at 
Hansell's  Station-  Four  tramps  were  stealing  a 
ride,  and  two  of  them.  George  Hogle  and  Fill- 
more Fagley,  were  killed,  and  the  other  two 
badly  wounded. 

HtJDSOS,  N.  T.,  Aug.  29.— A  fatal  accident 
occurred  on  the  Hudson  River  Railroad  at  the 
depot  in  this  city  at  midnight  last  night.  A 
passenger  train  from  th^north,  due  at  11:32  P. 
M.,  arrived  late,  and  wbUe  taking  water  was 
run' into  by  freight  train  No.  44,  telescoping 
the  sleeping-car,  which  was  directly  under  the 
Ferry-street  bridge,  crossing  the  track.  The 
bridge  was  completely  destroyed.  Engine  No. 
68  was  disabled,  and  several  cars  were  wrecked. 
Thomas  Ryan,  a  flrtman  of  Rhinebeck,  was 
killed,  and  Charles  Somers,  an  engineer  of  New- 
York,  injured.  The  disaster  was  caused  by  a 
negligent  fiagman,  who  displayed  the  wrong 
light  All  the  trains  were  delayed  sever^ 
hours.  ^     / 

South  Berwick,  Me._Aug.  29- — The  engine 
and  baggage  car  of  the  12:30  P.  M-  train  from 
Boston  to  North  Conway  on  the  Eastern  Bail- 
road, Conway  Division,  was  thrown  from  the 
track  near  this  place  this  afternoon,  badly  dam- 
aging the  tender  and  tearing  upthe  track.  No 
one  was  seriously  injured.  The  passengers 
were  considerably  shaken  up  and  mgbtened. 
They  proceeded  by  extra  trains. 

THE     CiyCINNAtl     CIGAR-XAKERS. 

CXNCINNATI,  Aug.  23 One  hundred  and 

twenty-flve  cigar-makprs  in  the  employ  of  New- 
berger  &  Brothers  struck  to.day,  demanding 
the  immediate  discharge  of  all  female  em- 
ployes. The  firm  declined  to  discharge 
the  'women,  and  expressed  a  determina- 
tion to  remove  tbeir  factory  to  New- 
York  if  the  men  persisted  in  their  demHids. 
There  is  no  change  in  the  situation  at  Krohn, 
Feiss  &  Co.'s  factory,  where  the  men  struck  yes- 
terday. At  Lowenthal's  factory  the  cigar- 
makers  were  informed  by  representatives  of  the 
^ua  that  if  a  strike  was  intended,  or  the  men 
continued  work  merely  to  assist  the  strikers  al- 
ready out  the  factory  would  be  closed.  TJie 
men  declared  that  they  had  no  Intention  Of  doug 
either.

Constantinople,  Aug.  29. — A  dispatch 
from  Suleiman  Pasha,  dated  Aug.  26.  details 
the  operations  up  -to  that  day.  He  say^ :  "  The 
Turks  occupied  Alikridjcbel  H^ghts,  to 
the  left  of  the  enemy's  works,  threat- 
ening their  line  of  retreat  on  the 
21st  insji,  but.the  Russians  succeeded  on  Friday 
in  dislodging  ftem,  (as  described  by  the  London 
I^aily  ifews*  correspondent  in  his  ac- 
count of  the  Schipka  Pass  battle  pre- 
viously telegraphed  to  the  United  States.) 
But  on  Saturday  Vessel  Pasha,  with  two 
jbrigades,  succeeded  in  gaining  a  footing,  and  the 
fighting  continued  all  night  tfy  3  o'clock  Sun- 
day moming  the  Russians  were  completely 
driven  from  the  heights.  The  Russians,  receiv- 
ing reinforcements,  made  a  final  assault,  but 
were  unsuccessful,  and  returned  to  their  fortified 
works.  The  cannonade  continued  all  Sunday 
without  effect."  Suleiman  Pasha  concludes  his 
dispatch  as  follows :  "  The  matter  is  not  yet  de- 
cided, as  we  have  not  yet  taken  the  enemy's  forti-

Suleiman  Pasha  telegraphs,  under  date  of 
Aug.  28,  as  follows :  "Our  intrenched  line  of 
investment  is  only  130  paces  from  the  enemy's 
fortifications.  We  still  hold  the  commanding 
Alikrid-Jebel  heights.  The  Russians  are  block- 
aded on  three  sides.  Every  effort  is  being  made 
to  complete  the  blockade  by  cutting 
them  off  from  the  road  to  Gabro- 
va.  The  Russian  forces  have  •  been 
cruelly  decimated  and  they  have  retired 
to  their  fortified  jxisitions.  Cannonading  and 
outpost  engagements  are  carried  on  intermit- 
tently." 

London,  Aug.  29.— The  second  edition  of  the 
Daily  Sfws  has  a  dispatch  from  Gomy  Studen 
dated  yesterday  afternoon,  which  says :  '■  After 
the  severe  fighting  of  Sunday,  the  Turks 
have  refrained  from  renewing  the  at- 
tack on  the  Russian  positions  in  the 
Schipka  Pass,  and  up  to  this  morning  only  oc- 
casional trivial  rifle  fire  between  the  outposts 
has  occurred-  As  a  result  of  Sunday's  fight- 
ing, the  Turkish  advanced  batteries  somewhat 
menace  the  Russian  danks-  The  Turks 
are  constructing  fresh  batteries  in  the 
Tunja' Valley-  'Tbe  Russians  have  been  ade-

THE  WILLINGNESS  TO  ACCEPT  THE  AID  OF

ITS  SIGNIFICANCE  —  THE  .^^INFOECE- 
MENTS  NOT  EQUAL  TO  THE  CSffiUALTlES 
FROM  ALL  CAUSES— THE  RUSSIAN  FI- 
NANCES. 
London,  Aug.  29 — Tha,  Vienna  corre- 
spondent of  the  Tinted  telegraphs :  "  The 
mere  fact  of  Servia  trying  again  the-  issue  of 
war  with  Turkey  would  scarcely  be  in  itself  a 
stifBcientmotivefor  this  country  to  change  herex- 
pectant  and  watchful  attitude-  She  could  perfectly 
well  afford  to  look  on  as  long  as  her  interests 
are  tmtouched.  On  the  other  hand.  Austria 
might  be  provoked  into  action  without  a  single 
battalion  of  the  regular  Servian  Army  crossing 
the  Servian  frontier  if  Servia  lent  herself  to 
become  the  focus  of  a  Pan-Slav  revolut  ionary 
agitation  and  tried  to  spread  this  agitation 
by  sendin  g  bands  across  the  River  Drin  into 
the  Turkish  provinces  bordering  on  Austria. 
This  seems  to  have  been  understood  in  Bel- 
CTade.  Servia  is  preparing  to  act  as  part  of  the 
Russian  Arn«:.  She  marshals  her  forces  on  the 
'Timok  and  ilorava,  but  not  on  the  Drin,  and  not 
only  declines  the  offers  of  Gen.  Fadyeff,  but,  it 
seems,  likewise  the  demands  of  the'  deputation 
from  the  Bosnian  Insurgent  camp  which  has 
come  to  Belgrade  to  ask  subsidies  and  volun- 
teers. The  readiness  of  Russia  to  accept  the 
previously  despised  aid  of  Roumanian  and 
t^ervian  auxiliaries,  coupled  with  the  fact  that 
the  Servians  cannot  be  ready  before  Russia's 
own  reinforcements  are  also  available, 
causes  the  belief  that  the  auxiliaries  are  not 
merely  wanted  to  help  in  a  temporary 
difflctuty.  but  that  the  Russians  are  convinced 
that  the  ta-sk  before  them  is  far  more  diflBcult 
than  they  had  anticipated,  and  requires  all  the 
forces  which  can  be  arrayed  against  Turkey. 
Besides  this,  I  hear  from  a  source  extremely 
well  informed  about  all  that  passes  in  the  Rus- 
sian Cabinet  and  camp,  that  the  wear 
and  tear  of  the  Army  has  bean  such 
that  tbe  reinforcements  brought  up  hitheito 
have  not  compensated  for  the  losses  suffered 
from  battle  suid;  other  causes.  Without  any- 
thing like  an  epidemic,  there  has  been  a  con- 
siderable filing  out  of  the  ranks  owing  to  sick- 
ness of  one  kind  or  another.  There  has  been  a 
good  deal  of  suffering  from  sore  feet  and  ex- 
haustion from  exposure  to  the  sun  ■  or  heavy 
night  dew.  Many  cases  are  slight,  but  they  im- 
pMr  the  effective  strength.    'Thus,  despite  the 

f-eat  reinforcements  which  are  on  the  way,  the 
ussians  may  begin  to  doubt  whether  they  will 
be  able  to  have  berore  the  breaking  up  of  the 
■weather  the  numerical  superiority  necessary  for 
a  decisive  result" 

The  Russian  newspaper  VedemoiiA,  after  an 
elaborate  review  of  the  sums  already  expended 
on  the  war,  draws  the  conclusion  that,  if  the 
war  lasts  till  next  Autumn,  it  will  cost  not  less 
than  850,000,000  roubles,  of  which  232,- 
000,000  roubles  have  already  been  expended. 
To  cover  this  sum  there  is  in  reserve  150,- 
000,000  roubles.  As  to  the  remaining  450,- 
000,000  roubles,  more  paper  money,  of  which 
there  is  already  877,000,000  roubles  in  circu- 
lation, must  be  issued.

Tho  Timtt'  Belgrade  telegram  states  that  many 
engineer  officers  have  left  for  the  frontier- 
Pontoons  and  bridge  materials  are  ready  at  the 
Morava  and  Timok  Rivers,  and  at  Kladovs.  To- 
morrow eight  battalions  of  regulars  will  leave 
for  the  frontier.  They  have  been  camping  and 
drilling  for  a  long  time  at  Belgrade.  Servia

the  nrst-clasa  Militia  and  reserves.

chief  of  the  Serrlsi  staff.  Officers  firom  the 
Russian  head-qtiarters  are  buying  large  quanti- 
ties of  grain  and  cattle  in  Servia. 

The  Vienna  Political  Com»pondentx's  Buehs- 
rest  special  asserts  that  Roumania  has  not 
concluded  any  '  military  convention  with 
Russia.  The  Roumanian  Army  will 
preserve  its  individuality,  although  acting 
in  concert  with  the  Russians.  Prince  Charles 
with  the  bulk  of  the  Army  will  shortly  follow 
the  vanguard  which  has  already  crossed  the 
Danube  at  Eorabia. 

The  Vienna  correspondent  of  the  Times  tele- 
graphs :  The  Roumanian  bridge  at  Koral^ 
was  ready  on  Aug.  23,  when  a  whole 
division  crossed.  Two  others  have  prob- 
ably crossed  by  this  titne,  together 
with  the  Prince  himself,  who  assisted  at  the  op- 
erations from  the  beginning.  Whatever  may 
be  thought  of  the  vSue  of  the  Roumanian 
troops,  the  appearance  of  some  25.000  men  in 
the  fiank  and  rear  of  the  position  of  Plevna 
must  be  very  awkward  to  the  Turks,  above  all 
as  they  may  soon  expect  to  be  attacked  likewise 
by  a  powerful  force  in  front  From  the 
spot  where  the  Roumanians  have  crossed  a 
tolerably  fair  road  leads  along  the  right  bank

"  inciting  to'  hatred  and  contempt  ot

Washington!  Aug.  29. — The  last  letter 
written  by  Senator  Morton  was  addressed  to 
President  Haye^  and  was  dated  about  one 
week  ago.  Tfie  'first  part  of  the  letter  was 
written  by  Senator  Morton,  and  the  fact 
that  the  latter  half  is  in  the  handwriting 
of  Postmaster  Holloway,  of  Indianapolis,  Is  ac- 
cepted as  an  indication  that  the  Senator  had  not 
sufficieiit  Etreneth  to  finish  it  The  signature 
-was  made  by  Senator  Morton.  The  letter  asks 
the  President  to  withdraw  his  request  for  the 
resignation  of  District  Attorney  Mayer,  of 
Alab&ma,  until  Senator  Morton  can  have  an 
opportunity  to  talk  with  the  President  about  it. 
It  IS  understood  that  Mayers'  place  has  lyeen 
tendered  to  ex-Gov.  Parsons,  and  that  Senator 
Morton's  request  cannot  be  complied  with.

night  and  this  %*enlng  the  following  editorial 
is  published  in  fiis  paper  :  "  The  general  anxiety 
about  the  condition  of  Senator  Morton,  and  the 
contradictory  rumors  afloat  in  regard  to  it,  justi- 
fy us  in  saying,  and  we  speak  from  personal 
observation,  that  his  improvement  in  the  last 
48  hours  has  been  most  remarkable.  His  rest 
last  night  was  almost  unbroken,  sleeping  the 
greater  part  of  the  time  as  calmly 
and  naturally  as  though  in  perfect  health. 
This  momiiig  he  was  bright  and  cheerful,  con- 
versing with  his  friends  with  the  utmost  free- 
dom, and  expressing  the  kindest  solicitude  for 
the  comfort  of  those  in  attendance  upon  him. 
Dnring  tO:day  this  improvement  continues,  and 
his  friends  everywher^may  be  assured  that  his 
speedy  and  permanent  recovery  can  be  confi-

WASHlNaTON,  Atig.  29. — Gen.  Terry  ar- 
rived here  to-day  and  had  an  interview  with 
the  President  and  Secretaries  SfcCrary  and 
Schurz,  with  reference  to  Sitting  Bull.  .The 
reports  made  by  Oen.  Miles'  scouts  that 
Sittl^  Bull  has  reorossed  the  Canadian 
border  and  is  now  moving  toward  the  Yellow- 
stone are  not  credited  becatise  these  do  not- 
agree  with  the  recent  advices  received  thronjrh 
the  Canadian  authorities,  which  represented 
Sitting  Bull's  forces  to  be  in  the  vicinity  of 
Cypress  Hill,  in  an  impoverished  condition. 
Gen.  Stiles'  scouts  say  the  Indians  are 
in  good  condition  and  well  supplied 
with  ammunition,  which  Is  regarded  at 
the  War  Department  as  improbable  in 
view  of  reports  received  from  the  Canadian 
authorities.  Miles'  dispatches  were  sent  from 
the  Little  Big.-Hom,  and  were  IC  days  old 
when  received  at  the  War  Department.  The 
Canadian  advices  are  of  more  recent  date,  and 
were  forwarded  by  the  Mounted  Police.  The 
State  Department  is  in  frequent  communi- 
cation witb  the  Caaedian  authorities  with  refer- 
ence to  these  hostiles,  and  both  Governments 
will  make  every  effort  to  prevent  them  from 
using  the  border  as  a  basis  for  depreda- 
tions. To-day  Assistant  Secretary  Sew- 
ard, through  the  British  legation,  notified 
the  Canadian  authorities  of  these  reports 
from  Gen.  Miles'  scouts,  and  informed-them  that 
until  the  exact  whereabouts  and  movements  of 
Sitting  Bull  can  be  ascertained,  it  is  deemed  in- 
advisable to  send  forward  the  commission. 
Should  the  reports  of  the  scouts  prove 
true,  it  would  be  diflcult  to  obtain 
a  .  sufBcient  escort  to  accompany  the 
commis."ion,  as  all  available  troops  would 
be  required  to  prevent  Sitting  Bull  and  Joseph 
from  joining  their  forces,  which  woiUd  seem  to 
be  the  object  of  both  chiefs,  if  their  movements 
are  reported  correctly.  Advices  from  Gen. 
Miles  are  anxiously  expected  by  the  War  De- 
partment, and  uiitil  something  definite  and 
trustworthy  is  learned  Gen.  Terry's  commis- 
sion will  not  be  sent  forward.

that  was  struck  by  Gen.  Sliles  last  Spring,  in 
which  engagement  Lame  Deer  and  several 
other  Indians  were  killed.  This  band  is  a  rem- 
nant of  Sitting  Bxill's  village  not  yet  driven  in 
by  the  troops  in  the  Department  of  DafcotaC  and 
their  coming  in  and  disarmament  will  render

London,  Aug.  29.— The  editor  of  the 
Madras  Time»,  who  is  a  rfember  of  the  Relief 
Committee,  writes  under  date  of  Aug.  1,  as  fol- 
lows :  '"The  population  Jn  Southern l^dia  more 
or  less  afflicted  by  famine  numbers  24,0(M),000. 
In  the  most  favorable  circtuustances, 'at'ieast 
one-sixth  of  the  people  will  die.  The  famine 
is  immeasurably  greater  than  was  that  in 
Bengal.  Twenty-three  people  in  all  died 
of  starvation  in  BengaL  In  Madras  no  camp  of 
3,000  rises  morning  after  moming  without 
leaving  30  corpses.  In  the  interior  the  distress 
is  most  fearful.  .One  gentleman  passing  down  a 
valley  in  the  Wynaad  District  counted  29  dead 
bodies  on  the  road.  A  coffee  planter  seeking 
shelter  from  the  nun  in  a  hut  found  aix'decom 
posing  corpses  in  it.  On  any  day  and  every 
day  mothers  may  be  seen  in  the  streets  of 
Madras  offering  their  children  for  sale, 
while  the  foundling  portion  of  the  Poor- 
house  is  full  of  infants  found  by  the  Police  on 
the  roads  deserted  by  their-parente.  Since  the 
famine  commenced  500.00O  people  have  died 
of  want  and  distress.  Theflrst  big  tragedy-may 
be  expected  in'  Mysore.  In  that  Provintcg,  in-

Detroit,  Mich.,  Aiig.  29. — Several  se- 
rious casualties  are  reported  to-day  in  connec- 
tion with  a  heavy  thunder  storm  ^}il<'h.  swept 
over  this  State  last  night.  John  G.  Hiller.  of 
this  city,  while  at  work  on  a  farm  near  Northfield, 
took  refuge  from  the  rain  under  a  tree  which 
was  struck  by  lightning.  He  was .  instantly 
killed,  and  a  companion  named  R.'L.  Qreen,  of 
Northfleld,  was  dangerously  hurt.  At  Marshall 
a  young  man  nam^  Lake,  who  was  riding  with 
a  lady  named  Hulchings,  also  drove  for  shelter 
under  a  tree  which  -was  soon  hit  by  a  bolt  of 
lightning.  He  was  instantly  killed,  and  his 
companion  was  so  seriously  stunned  that  ehe 
is  insensible.

ries of  the  Second  UnAed  States  Artillery,  un- 
der command  of  Capt  William  J.  Rogers,  have 

been  detached  from  Fort  McHenry  garrison, 
and  will  leave  in  the  morning  for  Carlisle, 
Fenn.,  where  the  old  military  post  will  be  re-

NOVEL  TELEPHONIC  EFFECT. 
Saratoga,  N.  Y.  ,  Aug.  29. — WhUe  Edison's 
telephone  was  at  work  here  on  Tuesday  evening, 
Clartnce  Bathbone,  at  Albany,  heard  fbe  music 
as  gent'from  New- York,  distinguishing  the  tunes 
by  a  Bell  telephone.  Investigation  shows  that 
the  wire  givix^g  the  tune  from  the  Observatory 
runs  parallel  with  tbe  wire  used  here  for 
Edison's  telephone,  and  enter's  Rathbone's  house 
near  Bell's  telephone  wire.  It  is  believed  that 
the  proximity  of  Bathhone's  time  wire  with 
EcuEon's  telephone  wire  caused  the  sympathetic 
working  of  the  Bell  instrument. 

THE  CUBAN  CAPTAIN-GENERAL. 

Hataka,  Aug.' 25.— Btunors  with  regald

Chicago,  111.,  Aug.  29.— Tie  assignment 
and  consequent  suspension  of  the  State  Sav- 
ings Bank  in  this  city  yesterday  was  undoubt- 
edly hastened  by  the  f ailtre  of  the  St.  Louis 
banks  about  40  days  ago.  At  that  time  large 
sums  were  deman3&i-hj:_and  paid  out  to  depos- 
itors. The  time  rule  wasT^^tevertheless,  en- 
forced, and.  in  order  to  meet  ahe  demands  of 
creditors  at  the  expiration  of  the.  first  30  days, 
the  bank  was  coinpelled  to  realiz^  upon  its  as- 
setSk  The  statement  which  the  Assignee  made 
this  morning  shows  that  all  the  good  as-sets-^ 
L^nited  States,  park,  and  county  bonds, 
both  cash  and  real  estate — have  been  dis- 
posed of,  and  that  nothing  but  mortgages, 
collaterals  and  a  little  real  estate  have  been  re- 
tained. Among  other  paper,  and  all  the  bonds, 
cash,  &c.,  on  hand  July  1,  have  been  swept 
away  over  $600,000  in  canal  bonds,  which  are 
worthless.  Col.  Abner  Taylor,  the  Assignee, 
began  an  investigation  of  the  books  this  morfl- 
ing,  and  the  statement  which  is  made  from 
their  face  is  not  accepted  as  at  all  authentic. 
Col.  Taylor  expressing  grave  doubts  whether 
man}-  of  the  items  di.<<playe<l  will  be  found 
in  the  vaults  when  they  are  opened  to- 
morrow. The  number  of  depositors  is  sup- 
posed to  he  about  15,000,  and  the  average 
amount  of  deposits,  $200.  Our  Iri.'h  citizens 
are  more  largely  interested  than  any  others, 
and  after  them  come  Americans,  .'Swedes,  and 
G<-rmatt.s.  The  scene  aboxit  the  bank  this  mom- 
ing was  one  of  intense  excitement,  although  no 
threats  of  resort  to  violent  measures  were  heard, 
as  is  usual  in  such  cases.  The  most  bitter  in- 
wctives  were  showered  upon  the  h^ad  of  Presi 
dent  Spencer,  who  had  successfully  managed 
tho  concern  into  irretrievable  disaster.  Quite  a 
force  of  Police  was  necessary  to  keep  the  crowd 
away  from  the  doors. 

There  appears  to  "  ■  be  but  one  con- 
clusion drawn  from  the  situation  of 
affairs,  and  that  is  that  the  failure 
was  caused  by  the  most  reckless,  if  not  dishon- 
est management,  Spencer  had  been  speculat- 
ing in  suburban  real  estate  since  1873  with  the 
funat*  drawn  from  the  deposdts,  and  doing  this 
on  his  private  nccount.  It  is  also  alleged  that 
when  Spen(V!r  bought  up  the  controlling  inter- 
est in  the  stock  of  the  State  Savings  Bank  it 
was  done  with  the  money  of  the  bank,  this  be- 
ing a  favorite  dodge  of  his  wheii,;identifled  with 
the  Cook  County  Bank,  which  went  under  with 
disastroiis  results  four  years  ago.  One  of  the 
former  inspectors  of  the  bank  states  that  when 
Spencer  got  control  of  the  institution  by  paying 
an  advance  of  200  per  cent,  on  the  stock  ;  the 
stockholders  who  sold  to  him  knew  very  well 
that  they  were  selling  to  a  scoundrel  and 
violating'their  trust. 

Tbe  other  savings  banks  exnerienced  some- 
what of  a  run  to-da^  the  most  closely  besieged 
being  the  Fidelity,  ■  Which,  however,  met  the 
demands  to  a  certain  extent,  paying  small 
amounts  and  taking  advantage  of  the  time  rule 
of  ;i()  and  00  days  for  the  balance.  Mr.  Myers, 
President  of  the  Merchant,*.'.  Farmers'  ami 
Mechanics'  Bank,  has  given  orders  that  no  more 
money  he  paid  out  of  that  institution 
unless  it  is  needed  for  immediate  use.  The  Il- 
linois Tru-st  and  Savings  Bank  officers  are  psy- 
'ine  all  demands.  The  leading  bankers  here 
"•^ako  a  hopefi^l  view  of  the  situation,  and  say 
that  they  dof*  not  apprehend  that  the  effect  on 
the  banking  interests  will  be  serious  here.  They 
are  of  the  opinion  that  the  effect  will  be  more 
marked  abroad.  There  is  a  strong  impression 
here  that  Spencer  has  fled  to  unknown  parts. 

The  report  submitted  to-day  by  the  Assignee 
is  as  follows :

The  vaults  of  the  bank  were-  opened  this  af- 
ternoon, aiid  the  work  of  examining  the 
contents  was  begun.  The*  mortgages  were 
first  taken  hold  of,  but  nothing  can 
yet  be  told  as  to  the  result  of  the  investigation. 
It  appears  to-night  that  the  bank  was  short  over 
$1,000,000  on  what  are  put  down  in  the 
scheduleas  collaterals,  of  which  there  are  .$300.- 
000  Calumet  Canal  Stock,  $300,000  Canal 
bonds,  $300,000  in  stock  bought  out  of  the 
bank  funds  for  one  Dobbins,  and  $272,000 
stock  held  by  Spencer.  How  much 
money  Spencer  got  away  with  is  not 
known.  'The  report  comes  from  Hyde  Park,  at 
a  late  hour  to-night,  that  C.  G.  Bulkley,  Assist- 
ant-Cashier <  of  the  State  Savings  Sank,  has 
fled  the  country.  He  has  sent  his  family  to 
friends  la  the  North  IJivision  of  this 
city,  and  it  is  believed  he  has  gone 
either  to  Canada  or  some  other  safe  point.  He 
was  Spencer^iTright-band  man  and  fully  cogni- 
zant of  his  i>rincipal's  rascality,  ■  The"  family  of 
Spencer  is  also  gone,  and  left  no  word  behind  as 
to  'heir  whereabouts. 


NOTi  ^•0  SEEN  OP  SPENCER  IN  THIS  CITT. 
One  o.  e  officers  of  the  Chemical  National 
Bank,  wit.  hich  Spencer  aHine  time  had  extensive 
dealings,  stated  yesterday  that  at  the  beginning  of 
the  ' '  run  "  on  tbe  State  savings  institntio  n,  the  latter 
had  a  large  amount  of  OoTemment  bonds  on  deiwsit 
in  the  Chemical  Bank,  but  that  tho  entire  amount 
had  since  been  withdrawn.  Neither  tho  President  ^t^eciniated 
nor  Cashier  of  the  last-named  institation  could  be 
found  last  evening,  both  being  out  of  the  City.    It 

is  known,  however,  that  Spencer  was  in  New-York 
atxiut  10  days  ago  on  important  business  relating  to 
the  alfaiis  of  the  suspeiraed  savings  hanlc,  but  what 
he  did  has  not  yet  been  developed.  At  the  Fifth- 
Avenue  Hotel,  where  be  has  been  in  the  habit  nf 
stopping  for  the  past  five  or  six  years,  he  has  not 
been  seen  for 'a  month.  ,So  that  if  anywhere  in  New- 
York,  he  is  jlrobably  living  incomuto.  The  general 
^impression  se<}ms  to  be  that  he  has  gone  either  to 
Canada  or  Europe. 

'EFFECT  OP  THE  FAILURE  IN  THIS  CITT. 
The%ews  of  the  failure  of  the  Chicago  insti- 
tution caused  much  agitation  en  the  stock  market 
yesterday  moming,  and  the  expectation  was  that  thf 
savings  banks  of  this  City  would  feel  the  ejfects.  In- 
quiries were  made  at  the  principal  banka  during  the 
afternoon,  but  there  was  no  sign  ot  any  trouble.  At 
each  and  all  nothing  but  the  usual  business  was 
done ;  nor  was4here  the  faintest  sign  of  alarm  among 
the  depositors.  This  was  accounted  for  in  the  sim- 
plest' pKUsible  way — they  knew  of  nothing  to  alarm 
them.  It  was  pointed'  out  that  the  Western  aavings 
banks  didno(  do  a  savings  bankbusisess,  as  that  term 
is  understood  here,  but  mixed  up  a  loan  and  discount 

business  with  it.  Cert^n  so-called  savings  banks  in 
this  City,  operating  under  special  charters,  did  the 
same  thjng  a  few  vears  ago,  but  there  were  none  in 
existence  now.  They  had  all  gone  into  bankruptcy. 
Among  the  baniu  whoae  officers  were  visited  yester- 
day m^  be  mentioned  the  Emigrant  Savings  Bahk, 
whom  bn^ess  was  going  on  as  nsoal;  the  East 
River  Savings  Bank,  the  Bowery  Sa'rings  Bank,  the 
Dry-Dodc  Savings  Bank,  the  Muihattan  Savings  In-

BEIGHAM  YOUNG'S  CAKEEB.,. 
Brigham  Young  was  bora  at  Whltting* 
ham,  Windham  Coimty,  Vt,  on  the  1st  of  Jiui« 
1801.  His  father,  John  Young,  was-s  farmei 
in  indifferent  circumstances,  with  a  family  of 
five  sons  and  six  daughters,  Brigham ;  being  the 
fourth  son  and  ninth  child.  At  thetage  of  Id 
John  Young  joined  the  Revolutionary  Army, 
and  served  in  three  campaigns  t  under  Gen., 
Washington.  In  1785  he  married  Nabby^ 
a  daughter  of  Phineas  and  Susannah  Howe,  the 
mother  of  Brigham,  and  settled  down  as  p 
farmer  in  Hopkinton,  Middlesex  County,  Mass., 
his  birthplace.  We  are  told  ((hat  he  was  "  very 
circumsspect,  exemplary,  and  religions,"  and  tha^ 
he  was  from  an  early  period  of.  his  life  a  men> 
ber  of  the  Methodist  Church.'  He 'afterward, 
however,  became  a  Mormon,  and*  was  consti. 
tuted  First  Patriarch  of  the  Chtirch,  He  died  at 
Quincy,  111.,  on  the  12th  of  October,  1839,  at 
the  age  of  70.  In  the  earlier  years  of  his ,  lifa 
Brigham  Young  worked  with  his  father  on  tha 
farm  in  Sherbum,  Chenango  County,  N.  Y., 
whither  his  father  had  removed  in  1804.  Th» 
family  appears  to  have  suffered  the  hardship*) 
and  privations  commonly  met  with  in  new  seW 
tlements,  and  none  of  them  had  opportunitlea 
of  any  but  the  most  primary  form  of  educa- 
tion. Brigham  afterward  learned  the  trade  of 
painter  and  glazier,  an  occupation  which  hf 
followed  till  he  was  31  years  of  age,  when 
the  whole  current  of  his  life  was  changed  in 
consequence  of  his  conversion  to  Mormonism. 
In  1S33  he  was  converted  by  Samuel  H.,  a 
brother  of  Joseph  Smith,  and,  having  embrace-/ 
the  Mormon  faith .  was  baptized  by  Ele-azer  M  J- 
ler.  At  Kirtland,  <.>hio.  'where  be  joined  thi 
Saints,  he  became  Intimate  with  .Joseph  .Smi  th, 
was  ordained  an  Elder,  and  began  tii  prer,ch 
his  shrewdness,  knowledge  of  character,  an4 
strength  of  will  quickly  acquiring  for  him  -som< 
measure  of  that  inliuence  and  power  in  the 
Church  wliich  afterwards  became  so  absolutely 
overwhelming.  On  the  14th  of  February,.  1835", 
Brigham  was  ordained  one  of  the  Twelve 
Aposfles  of  the  Church,  of  whom  he  became 
Prefiident  in  the  following  year,  on  the  apostasy 
of  Thomas  B.  Marsh.  Th*-  persecution  of  the» 
Mormons  soon  tame,  and  .Joe  Smith  and  J^ngham 
Young  fled  for  their  lives.  After  many  hair- 
breadth e.scapes  and  trials  they  succeeded  in 
rallying  together  the  brethren  and  sisters  wio 
had  not  apostatized,  and  thc.v  founded  a  new 
Mormon  colony  in  Missouri,  Brigham  seetiHng 
a  still  greater  .'share  of  influence  and  power. 
Again  persecution  came  upon  tlie  Saints,  and 
they  returned  to  Illinois.  In  1S40  Brigham 
wo.s  sent  to  England  as  a  missionary.  Ho  com- 
menced preaching  in  Liverpool  immediately, 
issued  an  edition  of  the  Book  of  Mormon, 
aud  started  a  periodical  called  the  Mil- 
Unnial  Star.  His  success  as  a  preacher 
was  immense  and  immediate.  In  less 
than  a  year  he  had  successfully  organized  sev- 
eral churches,  and  in  1841  he  saile<i  from  Liv- 
erpool for  New-York  in  company  «ith  709  emi- 
grant converts.  That  one  year  wrought  a  great 
work  in  England.  Its  influence  is  felt  to  this. 
day.  But  encouraging  as  the  result  of  Brigham'a 
mission  was  to  the  faithful,  dark  days  Indeejl 
were  in  store  for  them.  In  l.'^-14  came  the  rijoc 
at  Xauvoo,  the  shooting  of  Smith,  the  scattering 
of  the  Twelve  Apostles,  and  the  assumption,  or 
the  Mormon  Prerfdency  by  Sidney  Kigdon.  Brig- 
ham was  in  Boston  at  tbe  time  of  these  un- 
toward occurrences  ;  but  he  hurried  off  to  Kau- 
voo  imme<liately,  knowing  well  that  his  oppor- 
ttmity  had  arrived.  Fotir  persons  were  ambi- 
tious of  the  Mormon  Presidency,  though,  ac- 
cording to  Mormon  law.  it  belonged  of  right  to 
Rigdon.  Brigham,  however,  .secured  this  posi-, 
tion  for  himself  by  a  bold  coup  d'etat.  Ho 
summoned  the  people  together,  denounced 
the  other  aspirants  and  their  adherents  as 
children  of  the  dfevil — especially  Kigdon — and 
even  went  so  far  as  to  curse  Rigdon* 
and  hand  him  over  "  to  the  buffetings  of '  Satan, 
for  a  thousand/ years."  He  would  not  conde- 
scend to  reason  with  those  opposed  to  him.  and 
carried  the  position  by  sheer  audacity  and  force 
of  character.  His  energy  was  simply  over- 
whelming. It  silenced  all  his  enemies,  while  it 
raised  him  up  a  host  of  friends  ;  the  more  so 
when,  in  his  new  office,  he  at  once  exhibited 
marlced  administrative  ability.  He  .set  to  work 
to  complete  the  great  temple  ;  he  built  a  man- 
sion bouse,  and,  in  increasing  the  prosperity  of- 
Nbuvoo,  increa-sedhisown  popularity  aud  power. 
But.  even  before  the  completion  of  tlie  tem- 
ple, in  1845,  Brigham  foresaw  the  necessity  of 
a  migration  further  westward,  aud  be  gradually 
led  the  mtnds  of  his  people  to  t'be  .same  view. 
They  hesitated  to  desert  their  temple.  Brigham 
preached  tin  argued  with  the  enthusiastic  fervor 
of  the  old  crusaders,  roused  the  hatred  of  his 
people  against  the  "  Gentile.''."  and  Anally 
worked  them  up  to  a  rcadines  to  follow 
him  anywhere.  In  1^46  the  great  migra- 
tion began  ;  thou-sands  of  the  Saints  left  their 
homes — all  of  them  poor  and  many  of 
them  destitute — to  seek  an  indefinite 
home  somewhere  in  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
They  crossed  the  '  Missis-sippl  on  the 
ice  in  February,  with  about  as  vague  an 
idea  of  the  locality  of  their  ultimate  destinatioa. 
as  the  Israelites  had  of  tbe  land  of  Canaan,  ex- 
cept that  they  were  assured  by  Brigham  that 
it  was  to  be  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey. 
In  the  following  Winter  the  Mormons  esfab- 
lished  themselves  at  Kanesville,  now  Council 
Bluffs,  in  Iowa,  where  their  sufferings  and  pri- 
vations were  intense.  Their  poverty  w^s  so 
great  that  numbers  of  them  were  in  a  starving 
condition,  and  many  of  them  resorted  to  steal- 
ing cattle  and  horses  as  a  means  of  subsistence. 
At  this  time,  by  the  exercise  of  some  diplomacy 
at  Washington,  Brigham  received  !f20,000 
bounty  money  from  the  National  Go  verament^or 
raising  a  Mormon  battalion  of  soldiers  for  Gen. 
Scott's  Army  in  Mexico.  Tbe  poor  people 
obeyed  tnc  command  of  their  President  without 
much  murmuring,  for  nothing  could  be  worse 
Than  the  life  they  were  then  enduring.  Brig- 
ham expended  part  of  the  money  in  an  explor- 
ing expedition  west  of  the  RocJty  Mountains. 
In  the  Spring  of  1847  the  expedition,  consist, 
ingof  Brigham  and  1-13  men.  left  Kanesville. 
On  the  24th  of  July  they  reached  Salt  Lake, 
and  after  le.iving  a  few  of  the  party  ta 
commence  farming  operationa  the  remair/* 
der  reir.nied  to  Kanesville,  where  th-iy 
found  their  people  almost  starving,  ejid 
by  fever  and  cholera.  Brighiaiu 
determined  to  move  the  entire  body  o£  tha 
Cliurch  to  Salt  Lake,  a  gigantic  undertajdng, 
considering  that  they  had  to  travel  a  digtwice  of 
over  1,000  miles  and  to  traverse  the. 'Rocky 
'Mountains.  To  carry  this  intention  into  effect 
he  felt  that  he  mtLSt  have"  more  pow^r.  That 
cotild  only  "be  obtained  by  his  assumption  of  tbe 
attributes  of  Smith,  as  the  Prophet,  Seer,  and 
Revelstor  of  the  Mormon  people.  This  he  did  on 
the '24th  of  December,  1847,  daring  the  delivery 
of  one  of  the  most  remarkable  and  impassioned 
sermons  he  ever  preached.  The  effect  of  his 
language  and  demeanor,  theatrical  aa  thev 
were,  had  the  desired  effect.  Women  scre&me^ 
and  fainted,  the  male  Saints  wept,  and  all  ex- 
claimed, "The  mantle  of  Joseph  has  fallen 
noon  Brigham!"  When  quiet  was  restored 
Brigham  'Young  was  elected  '■  President  of  the 
Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  I>ay  Saints  ixL 
all  the  World :"  an  election  which  w»a  af  terwar«l 
ratified  at  a  General  Conference  held  on  the  6t.h 
of  April,  1848.  In  the  same  year  Brighun 
moved  his  people  to  Salt  Lake.  The  privatiijns 
they  suffered  during  their  long  journey  "were 
fearful,  and  number?  of  them  perished  on  the 
road.  Half -starved,  gloomy  facea  looked  to 
Brigham  for .  aid  and  encouragement.  Evcry- 
thlng  depended  npon  him,  and  murmurs  and 
complaints  were  loud  and  bitter.  But  his  rest- 
less energy  kept  down  any  more  marked  demon- 
strations of  discontent,  and  when  they  at  last 
reached  Salt  Lake  he  kept  them  ao  hard  at  work 
that  they  had  little  time  to  complain,  and  aet 
them  the  best  example  he  could  by  worUiig 
himself  harder  than  he  worked  any  of  them.  In 
this  way  he  consolidated  his  power  over  them. 
But  it  -was  the  power  bom  of  fear,  not  of  1ot«, 
for  he  ruled  i^em  after  Hie  fai^ilott  of  an 
Oriental  despot. '  But  he  nve  tSiem  enough  to

The  termination  of  the  Slaxiean  war  gave 
Brijrham  Yoiine  the  opportunity  of  aecnrin^ 
for  his  people  me  protection  and  recognition  of 
the  United  States  GoTemment,  and  of  adding 
to  the  gUyry,  importance,  and  stability  of  his 
own  position.  A  Mormon  conveption  was 
held  on  the  15th  of  March,  1840;  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  proposed  Stst«  ot  Deaeret 
wag  drawn  up,  and  delegates  were  sent 
to  Waahlnrton  to  ask  that  Dweret  might 
be  admitted  Into  the  Union.  The  ques- 
tion was  bnmrht  tm  In  Congress,. and  eventu- 
ftted  on  the  9tn  of  September,  1830,  in  consid- 
erable madJflcatioD.t  of  Brigham's  Echeme  and 
the  grant  of  a  Territorial  Government  under  the 
name  of  Utah.  Brigham  Young  was  appointed 
by  President  T^Imore  to  be  the  flrat  Gavemor 
of  thp  n'ew  Territory  for  a  term  of  four  years, 
and  Hebpr  Chase  Kimball,  Daniel  H.  Wells,  and 
other  leading  men  of  the  church,  filled  the 
other  offices.  Thus  did  Mormonism  gain  a 
\ee»l  habitation  and  a  name  in  the  United 
States.  The  first  Legislature  of  the  Territory 
of  Utah  met  pn  the  i;2d  of  September,  1X.51. 
In  the  meantime  Brig:ham'a  energy  was  show- 
ing fruit.  "Towns  and  viilages  were  springing 
up,  public  buildings  were  being  erected,  roads 
were  planned  and  constructed,  cities  laid  out, 
the  Tabernacle  was  built,  and  the  Mormons  be- 
Rnn  to  see  prosperity  In  the  future.  At  this 
time  they  numbered  a  population  of,  according 
to  the  official  census,  11,380  persons;  apopu- 
-  lation  which  was  dosbled  in  the  two  follow- 
ing years,  the  females  outnumbering  the 
males — a  ihing  unknown  in  other  Anglo 
Scandinavian  colonies.  The  political  situation 
of  the  -Mormons  at  this  tune  was  what  it 
has  ever  since,  more  or  lei^  remained — ^uni- 
versal suffrage,  after  the  fashion  ot  imperial 
>'rance,  with  a  strong  admixture  of  Bussian 
autocracy.  Every  man  had  a  vote,  but  all  were 
supposed  to  vote  by  direction  and  counsel  of  the 
Li>rrt,  through  His  prophet,  Brigham  Young. 
Socially,  the  Mormons  were  no  better  off  than  a 
horde  of  peasants,  hound  to  obey  the  bidding 
of  tho  suzerain.  This  is  directly  shown 
iu  the  action  of  the  first  Utah  Territorial 
LegisUitiirc.  After  passing  a  code  of  laws 
tor  t!\e  government  oi,  the  Territory, 
uud  sending  innumerable  memorials  to  Con- 
l^re.-'s.  mostly  asking  for  appropriations  of  pub- 
lic moneys,  that  body  divided  up  the  eafions, 
berries,  pasture  land.s  woodlaods,  water  priri- 
ligKS,  nud  all  the  most  valuable  parts  of  the 
State  domain  among  the  most  prominent  of  the 
saints.  Brigham  Young  always  eoming  in  for 
the  lion's  share.  And  this,  in  spite  of  the  di- 
rection of  the  law  that  the  land,  when  set  off 
into  townships  six  miles  square,  with  subdivl- 
s.'  IT-,  must  be  sold  at  auction  to  the  highest  bid- 
der. But  as  few  of  the  saints  had  any  money, 
iirigham  and  his  chosen  lieutenants  did 
noi  e  cperieace  much  trouble  on  that  score.  Of 
Brigham  Young's  way  of  dealing  with  people 
who  opposed  him  in  any  matter,  his  own  lan- 
truaee.  with  regard  to  the  murder  of  51r.  Bab- 
bitt, will  give  an  adequate  impression.  "  There 
is  no  need  of  any  difticulty.'^haid  he,  in  speak- 
ing of  the  lamentable  occorrencs,  "  and  there 
need  be  none,  if  the  officers  do  ,  their  duly 
and  icind  their  own  affairs.  Iffthey  do  not, 
it  thoy  undertake  to  interfere  in  affairs  that  do 
not  concern  them,  I  will  not  be  far  off.  There 
was  Almon  W.  Babbitt ;  he  undertook  to 
quarrel  with  me,  but  soon  afterward  was 
killed  by  Indians.  He  Uved  like  a  tool,  and 
died  like  a  foot"  Mr.  Babbitt  was  a  Gren- 
tilo       and       a      Federal      ofScer.  It    was 

with  the  Federal  officers  as  with  his  own 
T*opIe.  He  would  try  cajolery,  argument, 
trioes ;  but  if  these  means  failed,  he  would  not 
M-raple  to  adopt  severer  nieasurea.  For  in- 
stance. Col.  Steptoe,  with  300  men  of  the 
Uftited    States    Army,  passed    the    Winter    of 

I  s5-i-5  at  Salt  Lake  City.  President  Pierce 
offered  the  Colonel  the  Governorship  of  Utah. 
liri'j^ksaa  secreted  some  Mormon  ladies  in 
Steptoe's  office,  and  then,  by  means  of 
threats,  compelled  him  and  his  Gentile 
friends  to  recommend  that  he  [Brigham] 
f  houM  be  reappointed  as  Governor.  He  was  re- 
iip{)«inted.  By  tricks  and  stra'ajema  of  this  and 
similar  nature.  Brigham  Young  succeeded  iu 
ridding  the  Mormon  territory  of^all  the  Federal 
a'.ahorities,  till  at  last  Utah  was  virtually  in  a 
stale  of  rebellion  a£;aiu5t  the  Federal  Oovem- 
laect.  The  Mormon  war  of  1 837  was  the  re- 
sult, In  the  Summer  of  1$57,  Congress  not 
boing  in  session.  President  Buchanan  and  Mr. 
K1"<1,  Kftcrrtarv  of  War.  di.^>patched  3,000 
t  oops  to  Utah,  the  reasons  for  whieh 
Lciion  were  duly  set  forth  in  the 
Secrftary's  report  of  5th  December  fol- 
lowing; Brigham  Voung  retaliated  by  issuinga 
proclumatiou  which  was  substantially  a  declara- 
tion of  war  against  the  United  States,  and  whirh 
f-laoed  the  Territory  of  Utah  under  martial  law  ; 
at  the  same  time  every  man  who  could  bear  arms 
WHS  iaken  from  his  usual  peaceful  avocation  and 
drilled  as  a  soMer.  The  "Army  of  Utah"  reached 
the  scene  of  its  operatiops  late  in  the  Fall,  and 
went  into  encampment,  the  severe  Winter  and 
iletp  snnws  affording  it  little  opportunity  of 
qi^ellingthe  now  open  rebellion  of  the  Mormons — 
i.-:eaiil'ly  fcumdert  on  the  appointment  of  Cum- 
i.-iing  as  Governor  of  the  Territory.  Durinij 
the  Winter  negotiations  were  brought  about 
-»y  Col.  Kane,  a  quasi-Mormon,  between  Brig- 
*:am  and  the  Government,  which  ended  in  Gov. 
rummini  visiting  Salt  Lake  City,  beingreceived 
by  Brigham  with  a  hypocritical  show,  and  hav- 
ing the  Territorial  records  and  papers  placed  in 

II  is  posse-ision.  In  the  meantime  Federal  sol- 
Jir-rs  wt^re  in  the  city,  and  Brigham,  in  the  face 
uf  such  a  humiliation,  prommgated  an  order, 
I'Ur|->orting,to  coine  direct  from  the  Almighty, 
L-ommanding  the  people  to  'leave  their  homes 
"-nd  miip^te  to  the  South.  This  .  order 
was  imphoitly  obeyed.  The  people  started  on 
the  iith  of  April,  1858,  taking  with  them  their 
household  goods  and  pi^vislons  for  the  journey. 
They  hutted  at  Proro,  50  miles  from  Salt  Lake 
City.  sTufferi'uff  much  from  the  inclemency  of 
the  weather,  the  snow  being  still  on  the  ground. 
Six  days  later  pir.  Buchanan  sent  Commission- 
ers to  Utah  with  a  proclamation  of  pardon. 
They  arrived  at  Salt  Lake  City  oil  the  7th  of 
June,  and  a  conference  was  held  with 
Brigham  and  the  Monhon  leaders. 
The  conference  resulted  In  Brigham  agree- 
in;;  to  receive  peaceably  the  tjivil  officers  of  the 
Government,  not  to  resUt  them  in  the  execution 
of  their  duties,  and  to  yield  obedience  to  the 
authorities  and  laws  of  the  United  States. 
Hngham  stipulated  that  the  army,  on  march- 
itjg  through  the  city,  should  not  halt,  and  tbat 
it  should  not  be  encamped  within  forty  mites  of 
the  city.  These  arrangements  were  carried  out. 
On  tho  .oth  of  Julyjhe  Mormons  were  ordered 
to  return  to  their  homes,  and  the  Moniion  war 
was  brought  to  a  close  without  any  bloody  en- 
:;oimtfcr  on  the  battle-field. 

In  1S.57  occurred  the  infatnoas  Mountain 
Meadow  massacre.  For  his  port  in  this  terrible . 
rmrrage,  as  is  sufficiently  fresh^  in  our  readers' 
memories,  John  D.  Le«  last  year  met  his  death 
on  the  very  spot  made  memorable  by  his  crime. 
Urisliam  'Young's  connection  with  the  massacre 
Las  never  been  judicially  established,  though 
I.'iere  is  no  doubt  that  a  strong  feeling  has 
always  existed  in  the  public  mind  that  the  un- 
fortiiiia'.e  emigrant*  met  their  cruel  fate  by  his 
orders. 

In  1S62  Stephen  S.  Harding,  of  Indiana,  was 
appoinied  Governor  of  Utah  by  Mr.  Lincoln, 
and  in  his  first  message  to  the  Territorial  Legis- 
lature he  gave  great  offense  to  Brigham  Young 
and  the  Mormons  by  his  denunciations  of  polyg- 
aijy— especially  in  its  violation  of  the  act  of 
Consrress,  re<cnrly  passed,  entitled  "  An  act  to 
t.uuish  and  prevent  the  practice  of  polygan^ 
Iu  tlie  United  States,''  <fec.  The  messafe 
Mas  suppressed  by  the  Legislature  by 
the  order  of  Brigham.  but  was  af- 
terward printed  and  published  by  or- 
d*T  of  the  United  States  Senate.  In  1863, 
in  order  to  settle  permanently  the  queirtioii  as 
to  whather  Mormon  or  Territorial  officers  should 
summon  jurors,  Judge  Waite  procured  the  in- 
troduction of  a  bill  in  Congress  providing  for 
the  selection  of  United  States  jurors  by  the 
riarshal  under  the  direction  of  the  court, 
as  ill  other  District  and  Territorial  Courts  in 
:lie  United  States.  This  is  the  very  question 
which  is  to-day  impeding  the  judicial  action  of 
Judpo  McKean.  The  Mormon  officers  -Kill  only 
siimiaen  Mormon  jurors,  and  Monnon  jurors 
will  not  find  indictments  against  Mormons. 
Brigham  find  the  Mormons  were  furious.  iUeet- 
ings  were  held,  the  most  inflanunatory  gpeeehes 
wtre  made  by  Brigham  and  others,  and 
im  insolent  message^  was  dispatched  to 
Mr.  Liuiolu,  requesttog  him  to  re«»ll 
the  Governor  and  other  Federal  officers. 
Mr.  Lincoln's  hands  wer^  fully  occupied 
at  the  time,  and  Brigiiam  achieved  a  decided 
victory.  Mr.  Harding  Ijeing  transferred  to 
the  Gsvcruorship  of  Colorado,  and  the  Judges 
heUig  permitted  to  resign  in  dijigust.  They 
coiUJ  not  have  remained  at  their  post»  w^.^'^T*

troops.  These  trpops  Mr.  Uncolu  wa«  upabla 
to  famish  in  connequence  of  the  exigencies  of 
the  war.  This  victory  over  the  Government 
made  Brigham  more  powerful  than  ever. 
Uis  people  feared  siid  sheysd  ^yna.  He 
became  Will  Piore  »rb*W»ry  'and  »tll} 
more  reckless  iu  Ws  grBe4  fw  'wealW, 
and  unscrupulous  as  to  his  aetipns  and  rela-

idea  of  Mormonism— that  "'the  Inlqui^  of  the

Brigham  Young's  career  dtoing  the  Ia«t  10 
years  is  familiar  to  aU.  During  the  war  of  the 
rebellion  he  and  his  coadjutors  remained  almost 
entirely  quiescent,  though  having  a  leaning  to- 
ward secession.  This  is  easily  accountable. 
Though  not  a  slave  Territory  In  the  sense  which 
chaia«terixed  the  Southern  States,  Utah  was 
committed  to  the  purchasing  and  holding  of 
slaves,  by  an  act  passed  by  the  Territorial  Legis- 
lature on  Jan.  31, 1852,  entitled  "An  act  for 
therelieifof  Indian  slaves  and  prisoners."  But 
during  tire  last  10  years.  Brigham  has  princi- 
pally occupied  himaelC  in  carrvang  out  as  far  as 
possible  his  favorito  idea  that  Utah  contained 
the  element.s  of  everything  needed  by  civilized 
man,  and  tbat  by  the  establishment  of  manu- 
factories and  the  nroduction  of  silk  and  eot- 
tju,  both  of  whicn  have  been  started,  the 
Mormon  Territory  might  be  independent 
of  the  world.  His  great  aim  was  to 
prevent  the  Saints  from  trading  with  tho 
Gentiles.  At  one  time  he  proposed  putting 
down  wages  to  a  scale  so  low  that  no  Gentile 
could  afford  to  work  under  it.  Then  he  tried 
the  organization  of  every  settlement  in  the  Ter- 
ritory into  a  co-operative  society.  Finally  he 
instituted  the  Order  of  Enoeh,  an  organization 
on  communistic  principles,  which  did  not  meet 
with  the  desired  success.  At  the  time  of  the 
concepKon  of  the  Pacific  Railroad  Brigham 
Young  at  first  exhibited  some  'hostility  to  that 
underiaking ;  but,  finding  that  it  was  to  be  an 
accomplished  fact,  he  afterward  supported  it, 
and  the  Mormons  paid  for  the  construction 
of  the  Uintah  branch  of  the  road,  between  Og- 
den  and'Salt  Lake  City,  Brigham  himself  being 
the  principal  stockholder  in  this  imiKirtant  con- 
nection. The  last  years  of  Brigham  Yonng*s 
life  were  sorely  tried  by  the  action  directed  by 
the  United  States  Courts  against  polygamv. 
He  and  other  leading  Mormons  were  Arraigned 
before  the  Grand  Jury  at  the  instance  of  the 
United  States  District  Attorney,  and,  afler 
much  delay,  were  arrested  and  held  by  Judge 
McKean  in  $5,000  bail  each. 

Brigham  "Young's  family  relations  are  matters 
of  common  notoriety.  He  married  early  in  life 
in  his  own  State  of  Vermont,  but  was  soon  left 
a  widower  with  two  daughters,  both  of  whom 
subsequently  embraced  the  Mormon  faith  and 
contracted  polygamic  marriages.  Shortly  after 
his  wife's  death  he  married  Mary  Ann  Angell, 
who  was,  as  he  claimed  in  his  answer  to  tho  pe- 
tition for  divorce  and  alimony  of  his  nineteenth 
wife  —  Ann  Eliza  —  his  only  lawful  wife. 
She  bore  Brigham  five  children — Joseph, 
Brigham  A.,  John,  Alice,  and  Luna.  Lucy 
Decker  Seely  was  his  first  wife  in  "  plurality," 
and  the  first  child,  Brigham  Heber.  was  the 
first-born  in  Mormon  polygamy.  Since  then 
Brigham's  domestic  relations  have  been  ex- 
tended almost  indefinitely,  vrith  his  Plural, 
proxy,  and  sealed  wivca  But  Amelia  Folsom 
was  the  favorite  wife  of  his  old  age. 
She  was  bom  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H., 
is  tall  and  vjoll  formed,  with  light 
hair,  gray  eyes,  and  regular  features,  but 
is  pale  and  delicate  in  appearance.  On  her 
Brigham  delighted  to  squander  his  money.  He 
passed  much  of  his  time  in  her  society,  and  she 
occupied  tiD  his  death  a  queenly  position 
amrug  the  Saints.  Amelia  was  married  to  Brig- 
ham k'oung  on  the  29th  of  January,  1863. 
In  all,  Brigham  Young  is  cretlited  with  having 
bten  married  or  sealed  to  40  wives,  the  ma-, 
jority  of  whom  he  never  visited  in  his  late 
years,  and  who  lived,  with  their  children,  a  life 
of  drudgery.  Impecuniosity.  and  misery. 

In  appearance,  Brigham  Young  resembled 
much  a  New-England  farmer,  as  he  originally 
was.  He  was  of  rather  large  figure.,  broad- 
shouldered,  and  stooping  slightly  when  in  a 
standing  position  ;  hair  light  in  color,  somewhat 
narrow  forehead,  gray  oyes,  (the  lid  of  one 
drooping.)  tleshy  cheeks,  imperfect  teeth,  es- 
pecially in  the  lower  jaw  :  rather  sharp-pointed 
nose,  peaked  chin,  and  generally  somewhat  ir- 
regular features  ;  and  yet,  both  his  friends  and 
enemies  agree  in  saying  that  his  appear- 
ance was  agreeable  and  impressive.  In 
conversation  he  was  pleasant  and  affable, 
unless  rendered  suspicious  or  encoun- 
tering eontradictlon  or  oppositlo|i.  Illiterate, 
yet  not  without  talent;  fluent  in  speech,  and 
still  without  the  first  elements  of  the  genius  of 
an  orator,  he  held  his  listeners  easily,  combin- 
ing in  his  preaching  a  forciole  pretension  to 
heavenly  revelation  with  a  thormigh  knowledge 
of  the  willing  subserviency  of  one  part  of  his 
audience  and  the  fervid  superstition  of  the 
remainder.  The  very  necessities  of  hisrelipion — 
long  after  sincerity  in  its  professioitB  had 
left  him — compelled  him  to  analyze  certain 
phases  of  human  nature,  and  to  these  he  alone 
appealed.  But,  in  his  long  government  of  the 
Mormon  Church,  not  only  things  secular,  but 
things  spiritual,  were  ever  rendered  subordinate 
to  the  purposes  of  his  own  unholy  ambition,  his 
own  sensualities,  and  his  own  enrichment 
and  self-aggrandizement.  The  prosperity  of 
Utah  was  encouraged  and  fostered,  because  it 
added  to  his  vast  accunuilated  wealth ;  the 
property  of  the  Mormon  Church  was  carefully 
tended  and  nurtured,  becaose  its  prosperity 
tended  to  the  achievement  of  the  ^me  ends. 
Selfish,  sensmous,  and  avaricious,  Brigham 
Young  could  be  and  often  was  audaciously  cruel ; 
frequently  betraying  the  spirit  of  a  mi^'derer, 
Ten  if  not  following  his  brutal  example. 

The  important  query  now  is,  Who  will  suc- 
ceed Brigham  Young  1  By  the  law  of  the  Mor- 
mon Chureh,  Heber  Chase  Kimball  should  be- 
come President.  But  the  office  of  President  is 
Surely  secular.  The  spiritual  headship — the 
igh  position  of  Prophet,  Seer,  and  Bevelator— 
will  be  the  great  bone  of  contention.  It  has 
been  often  stated  that  Brigham  Young  would 
reveal  to  the  saints  of  Utah  by  will  the 
person  to  succeed  him.  Again,  it  is  claimed 
that  his  successor  will  be  appointed  by 
special  divine  revelation  after  Briifham's  death. 
The  probabilities  of  succession  will  lie  between 
Joseph  Young,  the  eldest  son  of  Brighnm,  and 
David,  thOrsecondand  posthumous  son  of  Joseph 
Smith.  Joe  Smith's  eldest  son  being  a  schismatic. 
While  there  is  a  large  body  of  supporters  of  the 
dynasty  of  Brigiiam  Young,  the  dynasty  of  the 
first  prophet  and  founder  of  the  Slormon  reli- 
gion hu  a  very  greatand  enthnaiastic  adherence.

CHANCELLOR  OLITEB  SPENCER  HALSTZD. 

Yesterday  morning  the  venerable  ex-Chan- 
eeiloT.  Oliver  Spencer  Halsted,  died  at  his  residence  ia 
Lyons'  Farn^,  Union  County,  New-Jersey,  at  the  ad- 
vanced age  of  ~9o  years.  A  day  or  two  ago  he  was 
seized  with  congestive  chills,  which  culminated  In 
his  death.  He  was  bom  in  Elizabeth  in  1792;  grad- 
uated from  Princeton  College  in  1810,  in  the  class 
with  George  M.  Dallas,  afterward  Vice-President  of 
the  United  jStates,  John  C.  Breckenridge,  Congress- 
men Brnyn  and  Stoddard,  M.  O.  Halsted,  and 
other  distinguished  persons.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
Bar  in  1814,  and  began  to  practice  in  Eli^ibeth, 
where  he  continued  to  reside  for  many  years,  and  rep- 
resented his  district  in  the  State  Legislature.  Before 
Union  and  Essex  Counties  were  divided,  he  was  chosen 
Surroffste.  aiid  Telnoved  his  residence  to  Newark. 
In  1840  he  was  elected  Mayor,  and  when  the  new 
State  Constitution  was  adopted  in  1844,  divldincr 
the  offices  of  Governor  and  Chancellor,  Mr.  Halsted 
was  chosen  for  the  latter  position,  flist  Chancellor  of 
Naw-Jets«y,  serving  from  1845  to  1852.'  For  a  lona 
time  he  practiced  his  profession  la  "Newark,  but 
during  the  past  15  years  he  Uved  a  retired  life  on  his 
farm.  2>niln€  this  period  he  indolged  his  love  of 
classical  and  Biblical  studies,  and  as  a  resnlt 
of  his  researches  came  forth  recently  a  transla. 
tion  of  the  Book  of  Job,  and  another  work  entitled 
Theology  fif  the  Bible,  No  one  was  more  honored  for 
probity  or  independent,  manly  spirit  than  the  de- 
ceased Chancellor,  and  he  had  a  tenderness  of  heart 
that  showed  itself  in  sympathy  for  eve^f  one  op. 
pressed  or  in  need.  His  homely  virtue  of  honesty 
ruled  his  whole  life.  In  politics  Chancellor  H&lsted 
was  a  tVhi^  and  a  Republican,  and  in  early  days  the 
associate  of  the  late  Chief TJustice  Homhlower,  and 
other  procdlnent  politlelans  of  that  day.  In  1874  he 
sympathized  with  the  Democratic  Party,  and  last 
year  was  an  enthnsiastic  supporter  of  the  Peter 
Cooper  movement.  _

Saratoga,  N.  Y..  Axkg.  29.— A  heavy  than- 
der-storm  before  daylight  bronght  a  decided  change 
in  the  temperature,  and  the  threatonisg  appearance 
of  the  clouds  this  morning  Induced  t*ie  Board  of 
Stewards  to  postpone  the  races  imtil  3  o'clo(!&  this 
afternoon.  The  weather  at  that  tl^e  was  very  pleas- 
ant. The  trae¥  was  somewhat  heavy,  hut  safe, 
and  the  four  races  were  mn  off  with  satisfaction  to 
all  present.  The  first  affair,  a  dash  of  a  mile  and  a 
half,  for  beaten  3-year  olds,  had  seven  competi- 
tors, and  was  won  by  St.  James,  on  whom  the 
mntnal  pools  paid  914  90.  The  mile  and  a 
quarter  1|^dicap  which  followed  was  captured  by 
Bertram,  the  mutual  pools  paying  $21  70.  Tbe 
selling  race  was  taken  by  the  Glen  Athol  flUy,  and 
the  value  of  the  tickets  on  her  was  $38  60  on  the 
first  heat  and  $10  20  on  the  second.  A  handicap 
steeple-chase  finished  the  entertainment,  and  thif  was 
won  by  Moonstone.  The  mutual  pool  tickets  were 
worth  $43  90.  The  details  of  the  sport  are  given 
below: 

THE  MILB   AND  AN  EIGHTH. 

The  initial  event  was  a  dash  of  a  mile  and  an 
eighth  for  3-year  olds,  winners  at  Saratoga  this  year 
excluded.  For  this  there  weie  seven  eompcftitors  In. 
Catacazy,  "Wash  Booth,  Bombadier,  I>r.  Living- 
stone, St.  James,  Vermont,  and  Bushwhacker. 
Although  Vermont  was  the  leading  favorite  yester- 
day.  he  sank  greatly  in  the  estimation  of  the  specu- 
lators Just  before  the  start,  and  Bushwhacker  be- 
came the  most  prominent  candidate  for  the  honors 
on  the  heavy  track.  He  brought  $170,  St.  James 
$120,  Vermont  $30,  and  the  others  as  a  field 
$51.  The  distance  being  a  mile  and  an  eighth, 
they  were  started  from  the  furlong  pole. 
It  ^^as  3:40  o'clock  when  the  llae  foil,  and  Bush- 
whacker was  In  the  lead,  with  St.  James  second.. 
Beaching  the  stand  St.  Jame«  was  in  front  a  lenidh, 
Vermont  second,  half  a  lenifth  ahead  of  Catacazy. 
Wash  Booth  fourth.  Bushwhacker  fifth.  Dr.  Llving- 
(itone  sixth,  and  Bombadier  last-  St.  Jnmes  kept  the 
lead  round  the  turn,  but  was  ch^Ienged  by  Cutaca- 
zy,  and  when  thoy  reached  the  quAi^er  pole  he  was 
bnt  half  a  lencth  in  advance  of  the  latter,  she  being  a 
length  before  Bootli,  and  HnRhwhacker  fourth.  As  they 
ran  along  the  tiack  stretch  St.  James  gradually  in. 
creased  his  lead,  and  finally  reached  the  half-mile 
pole  two  lengths,  bufore  Vermont  and  Catacazy, 
who  were  on-  even  terms,  with  Bush- 
-whacker fAurth.  lapped  by  Booth.  Comiiif;  round 
tho  lower  turn  Booth  ran  uji  to  the 
third  position.  At  the  three-quarter  polo  St.  Jaraes 
was  still  first,  Vermont  second.  Booth  third,  and 
Bushwhacker  fourth,  all  nose  nnd  tail.  On  the  homa 
stretch  St.  Jamcft  had  aH  but  Booth  beaten,  and  be- 
tween these  two  there  was  a  splendid  strucffle.  St. 
James  won  by  half  a  length,  in  2:01*2-  Booth  second, 
three  lentrths  ahead  of  Bushwhacker,  who  was  four 
lengths  ahead  of  Vermont. . 

THE  DASH  OF  A  MILE  AVD  A  QUARTER. 
The  second  race  was  a  dash  of  a  mile  and  a  quarter, 
a  free  handicap  for  all  ages,  which  brouplit  out  four 
competitors  In  Bertram,  who  sold  for$l  10  ;  Courier. 
$'JOO:  Clemmie  G..  $60.  and  Lady  Salyers.  $5?i. 
Starting  from  the  three-quarter  j»ole.  Clemmie  G. 
was  in  front,  with  Courier  second;  but  cominjjup 
the  stretch  Bertram  took  the  lead,  although  under  a 

fmll.  and  paTscd  the  judfros'  stand  two 
engths  in  advance  r.f  C^^urie^,  who  was  a 
length  and  a  half  ahead  of  Clemmie 
G..  she  being  half  « length  before  l^ily  Salyers.  Going' 
round  the  turn  Courier  got  to  the  saddle  girth  of 
Bertram,  but  the  Inttor  sliook  htm.  o:f  again,  and 
reached  the  finarter  pole  a  length  in  tht-  vnn.  On  the 
back  stretch  Bertram  opened  the  daylight  between 
himself  and  pursuers,  and  at  the  hKlf-mUe  polo 
showed  a  leneth  nnd  a  half  ahead  uf  Courier,  with 
Ladv  .Salvers  lapping  the  latter's  cjnartor  two  lengths 
before  Clemmio  G.  On  tho  lowt-r  turn  Bertram 
still  led.  the  ot  hers  in  tho  same  poBJtion. 
Courier  then  challenged  Bertram.  They  alt  ran  into 
the  home  stretch  under  the  whip,  and  there  was  a 
hard  struggle  between  them ;  but  Courier  could  not 
get  even  with  Bertram,  who  b9at  him  by  half  a 
length.  Lady  .Salyers  was  ai  Courier's  tail,  nearly 
three  lengths  before  Clemmie  G.  Time — 2:15*4- 
THE  SKLLISrj   RACE. 

The  third-;<frfint  was  a  selling  race,  heats  of  three- 
qnarters  of*a  mile,  tlie  starters  for  which  were 
First  Chance,  who  was  the  favorite,  selling  for 
$100  ;  the  (tlen  Athol  fillv.  $*.i5  :  Grecian  Maid. 
$50,  and  Queenston.  $40.  They  were  assembled  in 
the  chute,  and  Grecian  ilaid  was  an  fractions  as 
usual.  Flnrilly  a  splendid  start  was  given,  and  they 
went  down  the  track inalineuntilihevpassedthe  five- 
eighths  post,  when  the  Glen  Athol  filly  took  the  lead, 
and  turned  into  the  regular  track  two  lengths  before 
Queenston.  who  was  a  It-ngth  ahead  of  First  Chaneo, 
he  being  the  s.inie  disianco  before  lirecinn  Maid. 
Coming  round  the  lower  turn,  tlie  (ilen  Athol  fitly 
had  a  lead  of  a  length,  whtrh  sne  kept  to  the  finish. 
First  Chance  was  second,  half  a  length  ahead  of 
Queenston.  who  wax  six  longtlis  ahead  of  Grecian 
Maid.    Time— l:l^>fi. 

Srcoiui  Heat.— The  Glen  Athol  filly  and  Qneenaton 
each  sold  for  $22.5,  and  the  field  $KK).  Grecian 
Maid  got  off  first.  Glen  Athol  seooml,  First  Chance 
third,  and  Queenston  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  The 
Glen  Athol  filly  took  the  lead  as  they  ran  down  the 
chute,  and  turning  Into  the  jegular  track  showed  two 
lengths  ahead  of  First  Chance,  who  was  a  length  and 
a  half  before  Grecian  Maid.  Tho  Gleu  Athol  filly 
never  lost  her  lead,  and  won  tlu*  heat  .nnd/ race  by 
two  lengths,  in  1:1!»^.  First  Chance  was  secohn, 
six  lengths  ahead  of  Queenston,  Grecian  Maid  dis- 
tanced.   The  filly  was  not  sold. 

THE  RTEEPLE-CHASE. 

The  conclading  affair  was  a  fr«*e  handici^p  steeple- 
chase of  two  and  a  quarter  miles,  starting  from  a 
point  opposite  the  three-quarter  pole.  Tho  starters 
were  'V\  aller;  who  sold  for  S250  ;  Redding,  di*.iSiO  ; 
Doubtful,  $70,  and  Moonstone  *50.  Tbeiewasno 
doubt  a  gigantic  swindle  intended  in  this  rare, 
which  was.  i^owever.  fnistrated  by  Mr.  Morri.«»ey. 
The  movements  of  Mr.  Bernard,  who  was  under  the 
name  of  "Smythe."  and  "Larry  "Hart,  the  owner  of 
Redding,  wore  regarded  with  suspicion,  and  it  was  felt 
that  a  wrong  was  to  bo  perpetrated.  The  bet- 
ting before  the  start  '  changed  so  greatly 
in  favor  of  Redding,  that  3Ir.  Uorrissey 
immedia^ly  ordered  the  pool-BelUng  to  stop, 
and  then  quickly  Informed  the  judges  of  hts  susri- 
cions  and  requested  them  to  watch  the  race  closely. 
It  was  very  palpable  that  Redding  was  to  be  al- 
lowed to  win  the  race,  or  rather  that  Waller  waa  to 
play  second  fiddle  and  that  the  colored  man  Towsan, 
who  rode  the  latter,  was  to  do  tho  dirty 
work.  But  Redding  came  to  grief  at  the 
water  jump,  turning  a  somersault,  and  being  in  the 
rear,  this  accident  was  not  observed  by  Towsan,  who 
was  second  with  Waller.  Of  course,*wben  the  time 
came  for  Waller  to  bolt  the  course,  there  was  no 
Redding  to  win  the  race,  and  the  only  two  In  it  were 
Moonstone  and  I>oubtful.  Tlie  former  kept  in 
frost  of  Doubtful  tliroughoat  the  race,  and  won 
it  easily  by  five  lengths,  in  4:47.  The 
race  needs  no  further  description  than 
tills,  bnt  there  is  one  great  satisfactiun 
to  honest  people  in  the  unexpe'^ted  victory  of 
Moonstone.  It  was  like  a  two-edged  sword  that 
cuts  both  ways.  The  swindlers  got  a  do^e  which 
they  deserved,  but  unfortunately  many  innocent 
people,  who  backed  W.^ller  on  his  merits,  suffered 
with  them.  Tho  jndjfcs  investigated  the  case,  add 
niled^owsan  off  the  track  ;  but  the  real  culprits  re-, 
main  unpuulsbcd,  for  unle.-ss  To^rsan  tells  all  he 
knows,  the  -judges  cannot  reacli  the  othew.  Tlie 
race  did  not  terminate  until  near  7  o'clock,  conse- 
quently there  was  no  pool-selling  on  to-morrow's 
eventli.  The  book-makers  to-night  a^e  moTioi>olizing 
the  business  in  consequence. 

to-day's  prooramme. 

The  season,  which  has  been  a  remarkable  one  in 
many  respects,  closeslo-morrow,  and  in  cousequence 
orthe  failure  of  the  four-mile  purse  to  fill,  there  will 
be  five  races  mn,  making  up  a  very  full  day's  sport. 
The  first  event  will  bA  a  pur^  of  $250.  for  2-year 
olds.  to  currj-  ImO  pounds,  with  usual 
allowances  to  fillies\  and  geldings ;  a  dash 
of  five  furlongs.  Bn  this  there  are  the 
following  voungstera/f^^pecnlation,  97  pounds:  Dun- 
can F.  Kenner,  1CH>  pounds ;  Bonnie  WikmI,  07 
pounds;  McDaniela  War  Dance,  Fly  fiUv,  and  En- 
quirer-Leisure filly/  The  second  race  is  for  a  purse 
of  $350,  a  free  taindicap  for  3-year  olds,  one  mile 
and  a  quarter,  and  tho^  which  have  accepted  the 
weights  are  Bradamante,  Wash  Booth,  Bom- 
bardier, 2ifajor  Barker,  and  Lady  Salyers,  Tlie 
third  race  is  for  a  purs«  of  ^50,  for 
all  ages,  to  carry  100  pounds,  without  allow- 
ances for  msres  or  geldings.  There  will  be  four  con- 
testants, as  follows :  Au«;trallnd,  who  will  make  her 
first  appearance  here  this  season ;  Madge.  Courier, 
and  Rnadamanthus.  The  distance  Is  one  mile  ^nd  a 
quarter,  and^  there  will  no  doubt  be  a  stirring  contest 
between  the  lot.  The  fourth  affair  is  a  sollmg  race 
of  one  mile,  with  the  usual  allowances, 
for  which  are  entered  Queenstown,  Bertram, 
First  Cliance,  Dr.  Livingstone,  Sister  of  Slercv, 
and  the  Glen  Athol  filly.  The  sport  is  to  conclude 
with  a  free  handicap  hurdle  race,  of  one  mile  and  a 
quarter,  over  five  hurdles,  for  a  purse  of  $350,  for 
which  are  engaged  Waller,  Kelso,  Moonstone,  Doubt- 
ful, and  Bambino.  In  all  the  foregoing  races  the  en- 
trance is  free,  and  as  every  horse  entered  must  start, 
unless  excused  by  the  judges  for  satisfactory  rea- 
sons, the  sport  should  be  wonderfully  good.

THREE  FLAT  RACES  AND  A  HFRDLB  HANDI-

COLT,  AND  DEADHEAD  THE  WINNERS. 
The  second  day  of  the  aionMontb  Park  Au- 
gust meeting  was  in  many  ways  aij  improvement  on 
its  predeceasoT.  Fizst  of  all  the  attendance  on  the 
course  was  larger  than  on  Tue&day  ;  the  betting 
was  more  spirited;  the  warm  weather,  too,  was 
more  comfortably  subdued  by  a  pleasant  westerly 
breeze,  and  to  sum  up  genec^ly,  the  cnsanlle  of  the 
sport  had  much  moro  of  the  old  time  spirit.  The 
Tadxrg  was  excellexit,  the  contests  for  the  most  piit 
dose,  and  in  all  cases  gumizw,  while  in  some  In- 
stances the  piqna&oy  pf  snpzfse  atfected  tha  result. 
This  was  npedaUy  so  in  the  selling  race,  when  the 
f'^voH**^  SsTPtt  was  irixU»  one  oC.lait  snd  CfzIL. 


the  ovtiaw  of  the  day  previous,  came  Sn  a  brilliant 
-winner,  netting  his  backers  $32  35  in  the  French^ 
pools-  There  were  four  events  on  the  programme, 
one  of  these— a  half-mUe  dash  for  2-year  olds,  an 
*  added  taee— «}d  another,  a  beat  race,  which  gave 
the  card  the  cozapletenesa  of  five  special  contests. 
Following  are  the  deta^s^  the  sport : 

SELLXNO^    RACE. 

The  first  contest  w&s  a  celling  race  ot  one  mile  and

.Aftertheprelimlnary  canters  the  horsey  took  their 
places  at  the  one-eighth  mile  pole,  and.  witliout  any 
delay  or  contretemps,  were  sent  off  by  Mr.  Conner  to 
an  excellent  start.  Hennessy  on 'Dalgaisian  cut  out 
the  work  and  jiiade  the  paee  a  hot  one  from  the  be- 
ginning. The  black  and  orange  dashed  first  by  tho 
grand  stand,  with  Egypt  pressing  closely  after  Mr. 
Berthnne's  gelding,  and  Cyril  well  up  in  third  place. 
King  Bee  and  .I^ve  Cha^e  were  neck  and  neck, 
and  Shylock  brought  up  the  rear.  They 
dashed  round  the  turn  beyond  tho. iudges' stand  in' 
the  same  order,  and  at  the  guarter  pole  the  only  i>er- 
ceptiblechiuiKe  was  that  King  Bee  had  shaken  off 
Love  Chase.  Going  down  the  back  stretch  they  took 
closer  or.ier,  and  when  they  had  reachetl  the  halfmile 
pole,  the  favorite  was  no  longer  formidable.  Dalgiii- 
sian  was  still  leading.  CjtU  had  rushed  into  second 
place,  Shylock  hud  dashed  up  through  his  horses  into 
third  position,  while  Egypt,  Kinc  Bee,  aud  Love 
Chase  were -pretty  well  grmipfd  together.  Round 
the  bucJc  turn  they  came  hi  a  cluster,  and  then  every 
effort  was  strained  for  the  rush  up  the  home  stretch. 
Dalgaisian  had  mn  the  length  ol  his  tether,  and 
Cyril,  taking  up  the  runrdng,  darted  tothefront.  with 
Shylock  close  behind  lilm.  The  "Id  horso  was  run- 
ning gamely,  but  the  wjiip  was  coming  down  Heavily

The  rather  singular  suit  hrought  by  James  C. 
Hull  against  the  City  and  the  Commissioners  of  the 
Sinking  Fond  was  .«rgaed  at  length  before  Judge 
Van  Bnmt,  in  Sninreme  Court,  Chambers,  yesterday,

Bailioad  Compiiny,  which. -as  sublessee,  runs  the 
Cortlandt  and  Desbrosses  Street  Ferries.  In  illustra- 
tion of  the  fact  that  the  system  of  demanding  a  per- 
centage of  gross  receipts  pays  Mr.  Wise  gives  several 
instances.  Thus  the  BBrclay-Street  Terry  prior 
to  1875  paid  $1,100  per  annum.  Under  the 
new  system  and  even  on  the  basis  of  a  perc*ntage

THE   HALr-MlI.E   DA.SH.  ^ 

The  third  race  was  a  dash  of  half  a  mile,  for  2year 
old.",  for  a  purse  of  $100.  $25  uf  which  went  to  the 
second  horse.  The  starters  were  Kelly  &  Pur>*ear's

Miml,  (Dunn.)  All  of  them  carried  110  pounds. 
The  King  Ernest  colt  was  at  first  mode  a  warm  fa- 
vorite in  the  pools,  and  also  sold  Hlie«d  iu  the  mutual 
pools,  bnt  a  httlo  later  the  Baywood  colt  came  prora- 
Tnently  into  fuvor.  llie  titartlug  of  the  three  yount;-

and,  EoinjE  to  the  front,  ho  won  without  much  effort 
by  a  lencth  and  a  half.  Both  tlie  other  rolts  were 
hard  ridden,  and  of  the  two  tlie  Baywood  colt  had 
tiie  advauta^  by  about  half  a  length.    Time — 0:54^ 

TIIB  HURDLE   lUNDICAP. 

The  day's  sport  was  concluded  with  a  hurdle  handi- 
cap :  distance  two  miles,  over  eijjht  hurdles.  The 
purse  was  a  prize  of  $350.  $50  poiag  to  theTSecoud 
horse.  The  following  horses  started  :  J.  G.  K.  Law-

Although  rarrj'ing  the  top  weight  over  a  long  dis- 
tance, r)ead  He.vl  was  first  favorite,  aud  in  tho  bet- 
ting was  only  approached  by  liesolute.  Bencher  was 
away  from  the  rest  of  tho  horses  when  the  si^al 
wan  given,  buf  was  coming  along  in  a  smart  gallop 
from  the  beginning  of  the  home  stretch,  aud  had,  :(s 
it  were,  a  flyinc  start,  which  put  him  on  even  terms 
with  his  coinpotitors.  Resolute.  Derby,  and  he  came  to 
the  lirst  hurdle  together,  with  Dead  Head  and  New- 
York  close  after  them.  At  the  second  hurdle  Reso- 
lute was  leading,  with  Dead  Head  second.  Bencher 
third,  Derby  fourth,  and  New-York  last.  Bencher 
then  took  up  theTunninif  and  led  across  the  third  ob- 
stacle, but  threw  his  rider,  and  was  out  of  the  race. 
Closing  the  first  mile  Resolute  again  led.  followed  by 
Dead  nend.  Derby,  and  New-York  in  the  order 
named.  New-Tork  'Was  the  next  to  make  the 
pace  and  cleared  the  two  succeedii'g  hurdles 
in  advance,  out  at  the  following  one  Dead  Head 
had  closed  with  him,  while  Derby  and  Resolute  were 
dose  at  hand.  Derby  then  made  his  effort,  and 
cleared  the  last  fence  side  by  side  with  the  favorite, 
but  tlie  latter  was  full  of  running,  and  on  the  hom» 
stretch  nislied  into  front  place,  winning  by  al.out 
three  lengths.  Derby  was  tliird,  and  New- York  last. 
The  time  was  4-:lia.

the  leases  properly,  but  are  offering  the  frffncliises  to

Rpfcial  DUpaicA  to  the  Xetc-Tort  7\mes. 
Hartford,  Conn.,  Aug.  29. — In  the  2:24 
class  of  the  races  here  yesterday  the  contest  was 
mainly  between  "Voltaire,  owned  by  William  H. 
Peck,  ef  Hartford;  Alley,  owned  by  the  Gold- 
smiths of  Blooming  Grov^  N.  Y..  and  Honest 
Hany,  entered  by  J.  J.  Brown,  of  Boston. 
Tho  result  of  the  race  has  been  an  exciting  topic  of 
discussion  among  the  horsemen  here.  It  was  mani- 
fest beforehand  that  a  strong  effort  was  to  be  made 
to  beat  Voltaire,  and  it  succeeded  to  the  point  of  giv- 
ing  two  heats  to  Hone^  Harry,  Voltaire  also  having 
two.  Great  excitement  was  consequently  felt  in  the 
determination  of  the  fifth  heat,  and  there  was  a 
large  moneyed  stake  involved,  there  being  from 
$30,000  to  *40,000  bi  the  pool  boxes.  Vol- 
taire sold  as  the  favorite,  and  having 
beaten  out  Honest  Harrj'  in  tlie  heat 
was  pushed  by  Alloy.  and  at  the 
close  the  latter  evidently  went  under  the  wire  fi»^t. 
Bnt  the  judges  gave  the  neat  to  Voltaire  by  setting 
Alley  back  to  second  place  for  yunnlng,.  and  they 
defend  meir  action  under  Rule  30  of  the  regu- 
lations (of  the  National  Association,  which 
provides!  tliat  "  should  a  horse  gain  by 
a  bfei^  twice,  the  dlKtance  so  g.%ined

'entered  for  the  meeting,  and  other  turfmen  threaten 
to  keep  away  another  year,  but  It  Is  thought  they 
will  cool  down- 

The  races  to-day  were  viewed  by  about  3,500 
spectators.  As  the  favorites  won  in  three  straijcht 
heats.-there  was  ver\- little  excitement  either  in  the 
crowd  or  /pools.  To-morrow  the  2:22  and  2:30

other  ferry  lessees,  aald,  it  would  be  impossible  for 
any  except  the  pretent  lessees  to  put  in  bids,  as  no

The  Controller  put  in  an  affidavit  corroborating 
Mr.  Wise's  stateraeuts  and  adding  that  the  Cilv  has 
already  lost  $0,000  by  the  injunction  In  the  present 
suit,  and  now  loses  about  $200  per  day  by  r«ason  of 
the  continuance  of  such  injunction.  Jnd^Q  Van

NEW  FORMS  TOR  FERRY  LEASES. 
The  Sinking  Fund  Commission  met  yesterday. 
Mayor  Ely  presiding.  All  the  members  were  present. 
A  communication  was  received  from  the  Corporation 
Counsel  in  reference  to  the  sale  of_tly!  ferry  fran- 
chises and  wharf  propertv,  in  which  the  writer  ex- 
presses it  as  Ms  opinion  that  both  should  be  sold  to- 
gether.  but  that  they  -should  be  leased  by  separate 
instruments.  Accordlnsjy,  he  prepared  two  forms, 
one  foTj  proposed  lease  of  ferry  fruncJtiiie.  nnd  the 
oiherfSr  a  proposed  lease  of  wharf  property.  The 
ferry  franchise  lease,  he  8tute^  does  not 
purport  to  lease  any  landing  places,  slips, 
dock»,  bridges,  floats.  fixtures.  or  any 
other  wharf  proi>£rTy  whatever.  end  there 
would  be  no  obligation  to  the  City  underlt  to  furnish 
the  lessee  of  a  ferry  franchi-«e  with  wharf  property. 
Ii^ reference  to  the  peculiar  claims  set  up  recently  by 
ferry  lessecsas  to  their  rights  and  the  obligations  o'f 
this  City,  he  decides  t}mt  the  po.tsible  claim  of  anv 
lessee  of  a  ferry  franchise  that  the  City  was  bound 
to  furnisii  a  landixur  place  on  wharf  property  to  the 
purchaser  of  a  ferry  leaf  e  would  be  invalid.  In  order 
to  nepalire  tliis  idea  a  prox-ision  has  been  inserted  in 
the  new  form  of  lease  to  prevent  the  settling  of  anv 
buch  claim.  The  iiighest  resp^msiLIe  bidder  for  any 
wharf  i>roperty  will  receive  his  lease  of  the  same  in 
a  separate  in-»trument  from  the  ferry  lease.  The 
corns: uaicatiuu  was  filed. 


A  VEB¥  WARM  DAY, 


WHAT  THE  THERJIOMETER  INDICATED  YES- 
TERDAY— THE  SQUALL  IN  THE  AFTER- 
NOON— GENERAL  ^fei.TIIEfi  OESESVA- 
TIONS. 
Tho  Summer  that  is  now  on  tho  wane  has 
been,  all  things  considered,  a  ve^  commendable 
EQrt  of  a  Summer,  and  it  has  offered  fowor  opportu- 
nities for  complaint  to  the  inhabitants  of  this  neigh- 
borhood, at  least,  than  many  of  its  predecessors,  not- 
withstanding which,  yesterday  vras  a  hot  day — a 
bcorehina:,  molting  day.  It  was  tho  hottest  day  iu 
the  present  month  of  August,. and  a  hotter  day  than 
there  bos  been,  in  August  hitherto  for  five  years. 
Such  weather  would  have  been  deemc-d  an  a£iction 
in  early  Jnly  when  the  thermometer  may  plav  the 
wildest  pranks  without  causing  much  comment,  but 
coming  in  the  latter  end  of  August,  just  when  the 
russet  Autumn  is  at  hand,  and  after  somebody  bad 
.announced  that  the  maple  leaves  ip  New-Jersey  were 
beginning  to  change  color,  there  was  an  element  of 
surprise  m  it  which  made  it  doubly  aggravating. 

In  the  moming  the  indications  man  announced 
local  reins  for  the  Middle  btates,  but  the  sun  M^se 
In  a  clear  sky.  until  high  noou,  and  tho  mercury  in 
the  thermometer  rose  with-it.  The  street-car  horses 
ipanted  and  dragged  themselves  lUong.  with  their 
toncues  hanging  ivtvo.  their  mouths ;  and  pedestrians 
walked  close  to  the  houses  to  catch  the  shade,  and 


a  sale  of  the  propertv  for  its  highest  marketable  t  jostling  and  pushing  each  other  in  their  efforts  to 
..,.; .„i     fpu-  f\ !-.: K„^  ..1.^  j.^j.i„.4      aeep  in  the  narrow  shadows,  made  themtelves  all  the 


tuice  or  reutal.  The  Commissioners  had  also  decided 
not  to  receive  any  bid  for  the  lease  of  a  ferry  fran- 
chise unless  it  embraced  a  bid  for  the  rent  of  the 
wharf  property.  The  combination  would.  Mr.  La- 
rocque claimed,  render  it  impossible  for  any  one  to 
sav  which  bid  was  highest.  The.  action  of  the  C-cni; 
mfesioners,  he  argued-  was  not  only  illegal,  but  other- 
wjBo  improper,  and  he  therefore  asked  tor  a  coatinu- 
unce  of  the  injunctfoh. 

In  opposition.  Assistant  Corporation  Counsel 
George  P.  Anofews  read  a  uuralter  of  aflidavits.  and 
then  said  that  the  plaintiff  was  acting  in  bad  faith  in 
tha  matter.  Hull,  he  said,  is  a  clerk  in  the  employ 
of  a  lawj-er  who  is  counsel  for  one  of  the  ferrj'  cora- 
paniesfand  the  lawyers  who  appear  for  Hull  wre  em- 
ploA-ed  by  tht»e  companies.  Hull  himself  owns  a 
'ifiif  over^fik^rOOO  worth  of  property  m  the  upper 
portVrt* — Tji  i  tbe  CHty,  and  is  not  wealthy 
enoutjh  to  retain  the  counsel  who  appear 
in  his  behalf.  Tho  application.  Mr.  Andrew.'* 
s,^id,  was  simply  by  the  fcrrj'  companies,  who  are 
unwilling  to  pay  tho  rcgt^which  the  City  asks  for  tho 
tranchises.  The  ferry  comp(mie.f  do  not  desire  to, 
prevent  waste  on  the  part  of  the  Cjtj'  ofitcloU  ;  thev 
desire  to  have  the  waste  take  place  so  that  they  shall 
have  to  pay  as  little  as  possible  for  the  use  of  the 
%'aluable  .franchises  tbey.  h^ve  i»on  enjojing  for 
years  at  a*snoniinal  cost.  Mr.  Andrews  fea'id  that  a 
fftwrvears  ago  the  City  authorities  had  cttime  to  the 
con'-lofilou  tbat  it  was  time  t*i  stop  the  old  Uy.stem  o£ 
demaMing  o:iIy  a  sm^.ll  fi^etl  amountV  as  rent 
for— ^he  ferry  franchises,  aud  to  __■  demand,' 
instead,  a  certain  .  percentage  rof  t^ye  gro,>is 
receipts  of  the  ferries,  whjrli  are  enonaous.*  As  tho 
leii.'ie.s  for  such  franchises  be^'an  to  run  outihe  Ciiy 
demanded  21^  per  ccnt.ion  the  sro&a  receipts,  but  tlio 
ferry  companies,  aftcr/putiing  in  their  bics  offering 
to  pay  the  percentage,  backed  out  and  refusal  to  ex- 
ecute t!»e  leases  or  to  pav  the  percentage  oa  more 
than  the  receipts  on  \\w  Nev.'-York  'side.  The  pres- 
ent suit  is  merely  brouiiiit.  Mr.  Andrews  insisted,  lo 
cause  tjie  City  authorito.t  to  recede  from  their  posi- 
tion in  demanding  more  than  u  nominal  renliil  for  tho 
ferries. 

Among  the  affidavits  TTTP^eBTjpd  on  tho  part  of  tho 
City  w.-vs  one  made  by  SigmoinrWise.  a  clerk  in  the 
Controller's  oflice,  who  Ls  ffuniliar^with  tho  subject 
of  the  leasing  of  ferry  franchises.  H*  says  that  the 
prtjjent  feuit  is  not  brought  in  good  faith,  but ,  solely 
for  the  benefit  of  cortain  persons  engaeed  in  ruimlng 
certain  ferries.  The  plaintiff.  Hull,  Mr.  Wise  says, 
is  a  person  of  small  means,  who  was  formerly  a  clerk 
in  the  employ  of  the  late  firm  of  Duncan.  Sherman 
&  Co..  ana  who  is  now  employed  by  William  D.  Ship- 
man,  the  Assignee  of  the  firm.  Hull  owns  a  piece  of 
property  valued  at  $rt.lOO.  Mr.  Wise  thou  goes  on 
to  say  that  he  is  acquainted  with  W.  W.  Bhippen.  the 
President  of  the  Hoboken  Land  and  Improvement 
Companv.  which  is  the  lessee  of  the  Barclay  and 
Christopher  Street  Ferries.  Shippen.  ilr.  Wise  says, 
told  him  in  November  las^  that  the  City  has  no  right 
to  collect  any  rent  wliat#v^r  from  the  Hoboken  Land 
and  Improvement  Company  for  the  rent  of  the  fer- 
ries. Shippen  also  said  at  the  time  that  he  had  ob- 
tained JudgeShipman's  opinion  to thateffeot,  and  that 
if  the  other  ferry  companies  would  join  with  him  he 
would  refuse  to  pay  any  rent  whatever.  Mr.  Ship- 
pen  said  he  bad  paid  rent,  but  could  recover  it  from 
the  City  at  any  time.  William  H.  Pendleton,  tbe 
President  of  the  NewrTork  and  Staten  Island  Fer  v 
Company,  told  Wise,  on  the  14th  inst-,  that  the  ofil- 
cers  of  the  various  ferry  companies  had  bad  several 
meetings  m  regard  to  the  subject  of  the  proposed 
leasing  of  ferries,  and  Pendleton  asked  him  whether 
he  could  not  intluenee  the  Mayor  andC^OTitroller  to 
corapronii-te  the  differences  existing  between  the 
ferry  comnanies  and  tho  City  oEBcials  in  rej>;ard  to 
the  leasing  of  the  ferries.  Pendleton  stated  that  tbe 
officers  of  tlje  ferry  companies  desired  a  meeting 
witli  the  Controller  to  mscuss  the  matter.  The 
meelinc  was  had.  There  were  present  at  tho  time 
Col.  Ilenry  Stebbins,  a  Director  of  tho  Erie 
Railway  Company,  the  lessee  of  the  Chambers  and 
Twenty-third  Street  Ferries;  W.  W.  Shippen.  Presi- 
dent of  the  Hoboken  Land  and  Improvement  Com- 
pany, which  is  the  lessee  of  the  Harclay  and  Christo- 
§her  Street  Ferries ;  William  H\  Pendleton,  Preai- 
eut  of  the  New-Y'ork  and  Staten  Island  Ferry  Com- 
pany, and  lessee  of  the  wharf  at  tha  foot  of  White- 
hall-street, from-  which  a  ferry  to  Staten  Island  has 

recently  been  established;  Withers,  who  has  a 

desk  inflthe  offices  of  Hull's  attorneys,  and  is  one  of 
the  Houston-street  Associates,  who  are  the  lessees  of 
the  ferries  from  James,  Houston,  and  Thirty  fourth 
streets ;  C-  ^-  Thurston.  Treasurer  of  the  New- 
Jersey  Associates,  who  are  the  original  lessees  of  the 

Cortlandt  and  Desbrosses  Street  Ferries ;  Knapp, 

one  of  tho  lessees  of  the  Tenth  and  Twenty-third 
Street  Ferries;  Henry  E.  Davies.  counsel  for  the 
lessees  of  the  old  ferry  from  Whitehall-street  to 
Staten  Island,  and  George  W.  Wingate.  crfunsel  for 
Pendleton.  At  the  conference  Mr.  Shippen  made 
several  objedfons  to  the  form  of  the  proposed  leases, 
one  of  the  principal  belne  that  5  per  -cent,  of  the 
cross  receipts  coUefted  on  the  New- York  »ide  was-too 
larce  a  sum.  He  SEnd;,tbat  neither  he  nor  the-Others 
wished  to  litigate  the  matter,  but  that  they  wanted 
to  come  to  an  amicable  adjustment.  He  strongly 
urged  the  Commisfdon^rs  of  the  Sinking  Fund  to  fix 
a  gross  sum.  less  than  5  per  cen' ..  as  a  crunimuni. 

Mr.  Wise  then  avers  that  during  the  last  three  or 
four  years  a  number  of  ferries  have  been  leased  t<» 
the  present  leasees  at  a  reittal  of  2^  per  ceut,  of  the 
gross. receipts- of  tbe  ferries,  but  that  the  lessees 
have  refused  to  pay  more  than  the  per  cent,  of  the 
receipts  oh  the  New- York  side.  These  ferries  in- 
clude tbe  Houstou  Street  Ferry,  which  was  leased 
for  five  years,  bepinniug  May  1.  1874.  The  lessees 
have  not  onlv  paid  no  rent  since  the  lease  was  made, 
but  they  also  owe  tbe  City  $18,000  rent  under  a 

firevious  lease.  The  Barclay-Street  Ferry  was 
eased  for  two  years  from  Oct.  1.  1875.  at  tne  21^1, 
per  cent.  rate,  but  has  pihid  at  that  rate  only  on  its 
receipts  on  the  New- York  side.  The  same  ia 
true  of  the  Desbrosses,  Tenth.  Twenty  third, 
•and  Cortlandt  Street  Ferries.  In  each  of  these  cases 
the  bidders,  when  the  franchises  were  put  up  for 
sale,  offered  to  pay  2^3  per  cent,  of  the  gross  receipts, 
but  being  in  possession  of- the  ferries  have  refused  to 
execute  the  leases.  Messrs.  Shipman.  Barlow, 
Larocque  &  Maefarland.  the  attorneys  for  HulL  are 
also  toie  attorneys  for  the  Hotiston-Street  Associates,. 
T^easDXAie  acl4  c^iat  tbe  rent  of  the  fenla^  was

NEW  FHASE  OF  RAPID  TRANSIT 


THE  THIRD-AyENCE  ROAD  AGAIN  'WAKES^  UP 
—  ITS  president"  goes  ABROAD  TO 
STUDY  RAPID  TRANSIT  AND  "REPORT." 
The  Third-Aventie  Railroad  Company  have 
taken  the  pains  to  send  to  the  pross  a  circular 
letter,  in  the  iugenious  form  of  an  interview  between 
the  Treasurer  of  the  road  and  a  mythical  reporter 
of  the  paper  which  should  print  the  letter,  to  an- 
nounce that  the  President  of  the  company.  Mr. 
Samtiel  L.  Phillips,  yesterday  started  f<»r  Europe  (in 
the  steam-ship  Russia)  "on  business  connected 
with  the  rapid  transit  question."  Mr.  Lyon, 
the  Treasurer,  discourses  to  the  mythical  reporter 
aforesaid,  in  this  stylo  :  "  'While  the  entire  pross  of 
the  City  has  been  chaining  this  company  with  oppos- 
ing rapid  transit,  our  Directors  have  penuitted  these 
assaults  to  pass  by  unnoticed,  in  the  meantime  study- 
ing all  the  requirements  of  the  people,  the  interest  of 
the  City  of  New-Yort,  and  the  duty  of  this  company 
in  the  i^mises.  Our  President  in  particular  ha.s 
been  studying  this  question  for  a  number  of  years." 
Mr.  Lyon  then  tells  the  reporter  that  he  (Lyon], 
thinks  time  will  show  that  all  tbe  conditions  of  the 
rapid  transit  problem  have  been  carefully  studied  by 
the  company,  Tlie  President  has  gcme  to  examino 
the  London  underground  road,  and  "should  be  con- 
sider it  neees.«iarj'  to  visit  the  Continent,  he  has  full 
power  to  do  so.'  On  his  return  to  this  country,  in 
about  six  or  eight  weeks,  he  will  "report."  Toward 
the  end  of  the  circular  the  mythical  rejwrter  Is  sui>- 
nosed  to  ask  Mr-  Lyon  whether  the  company  will 
build  an  underground  road,  to  which  Mr.  Lyon  dis- 
creetly declines  to  give  a  positive  answer,  but  says  it 
will  not  be  a  road  stuck  np  on  sticks,  nor  a  tenii>or- 
ary  makeshift  road  ;  it  wfil  be  built,  solidly,  will  be 
cheap,  raoid  and  safe ;  and  furtliermore.  'says  Mr. 
Lvun.  ''we  need  no  outside  aid  or  assistauce.  our 
Directors  beinc  all  ihen  of  wealth."  and  "notwith- 
standing all  the  contumely  that  has  been  heaped 
upon  them,"  disposed  to  do  the  right-  thing. 
This  la.<!t  as.<itirance  is  very  satisfactory,  because  most 
peopl?  will  remember  that  some  three  or  four  yej^rs 
ago,  when  the  rapid  transit  aintation  tirst  seriously 
alarmed  the  Third-Avenue  Road,  that  company 
walked  up  to  the  Legislature  with  a  bill  which 
co:>lly  proposed  to  make  the  City  pay  for  the  build- 
ing of  a  raiid  transit  road  up  Third- avenue,  while 
the  company  should  ogimite  and  control  it.  Tho 
proposition  was  denoun^d"  in  The  Times  as  an  im- 
pudent pretense  and  a  fraud,  which  excitf<l  the  then 
Superintendent  of  th«  rood,  who  had  charge  of  thn 
bill,  to  great  Indlgrmtion  and  several  visits  to  this 
office.

LABOS  f.V  CALIFOnyJA. 
The  San  Franslsco  Cail  of  Aug.  21,  aaya : 
'The  mcetiiig  of  iS^acramento  River  farmers  at  Coort- 
laad  on  Saturday  night  gives  expression  to  tbe  senti- 
ments of  probably  a  majority  of- .  employers  on  the 
Chinese  question.  They  do  not  like  eooUe  labor,  bnt 
were  driven  to  it  in  self-defense.  It  is  a  matter  for 
reir**!  tjuit  ^bere  is  a  basis  of  this  kind  for  the  em- 
ployern  of  the  Chinese  to  stand  upon.  These  farmers. 
we  most  remember,  are  not  lar^  landholders  who 
have  grown  rich  by  t!ie  employment  of  cheap  labor. 
They  are  what  maV  be  termed  small  farmers,  who 
own  tlieir  own  land  and  depeud  upon  it>>  yearly 
product  for  a  liveli  buod.  Men  of  their  oc  ■ 
cupation  are  as  tborou.;:bly  interest«^d  as 
any  other  In  tbe  nealthful  development  of 
the  State.  The  population  of  tho  State  creates 
a  market  for  their  products,  and  in  the  absence  of 
poptilation  they  have  no  market.  These  are  men 
therefore  who  oucht  not  to  ompi<»y  Chinese  If  there 
is  any  way  to  avoid  it.  By  so  doing  they  drive  off 
the  white  laborers  who  woald  be  their  customexa. 
The  reason  given  by  these  practical  and  experieoeed 
men  for  the  sulwritulion  of  CJbinese  labor  for  whlto 
is  that  the  latter  Is  unreliable.  X^'hite  latwrers  would 
leave  them  ju-st  whan  their  service*  were  most  need- 
ed, if  better  wages  offered  elsewhere.  They  also 
complain  that  white  men  take  little  or  z>o  inter- 
est In  their  employment,  while  Chinese  are  reprc- 
sent«d  as  much  more  inclined  to  keep  land  in  oroer. 
It  is  state^diat  steady  white  men  in  this  section  were 
paidCrom  930to  $35'per  fixonth.  and  Chinese  from 
$22  to  $25.  L&nd-owners  orprossed  themselves  u

the  day — cost  of  the  caupaigk — the 
czar's  eei*cgnakce  to  bloodshed — 
how  he  feels  and  tvhat  he  t?a«  to 
say — a  supebstttious  monarch, 

From  Our  Oum  ComtpimdfnL 
BucHABKsT.  Monday,  Aug.  13,  1877. 
Political,  not  military,  complicatioiia  and 
combinations  are  the  order  of  the  dayfor'the 
moment  Osman  Pnsfaa  wiU  not  attack,  and 
the  severe  losaea  of  the  last  three  weeks  have 
given  a  lesson  of  pmdvice  to  the  Busaians,  so 
that  Uiere  ia  a  sort  of  trace  for  a  few  days,  dur- 
ing which  both  aides  are  preparing  for  another 
great  effort,  whose  results  It  would  be  impru- 
dent to  predict  until  we  have  more  certain  in- 
formation of  the  relative  strength  of  the  two 
anxxies.  The  Czarowitch  has  moved  forward  in 
the  direction  gf  Osman  Bazar  and  Rasgrad, 
Wliere  Achmed  Byoub  Pasha  has*taken  up  his 
position.  Or,  rather,  this  Turk  Is  a  little  north 
of  Rasgrad,  at  Dibrilita  and  Doshtabak,  on  the 
ridare  commanding  the  railway  Rustchak- 
Vama,  so  that  bis  wings,  strongly  intrenched, 
are  in  communication.  Such  is  the  report  of 
the  Bulgarian  spies,  who  also  pretend  that  Me- 
hemet  All  Pasha  has  reduced  the  effective  force 
of  the  Schumla  garrison  to  12,0O0  men,  and 
that  a  division,  8,000  strong,  has  been  estab- 
lished at  Ada-keni  and  Popi-keni,  to  the 
■west  of  Rustchuk.  The  Russian  staff  is 
Inclined  to  believe  that  the  next 
engagemont  arlll  bo  general,  and  that  a 
concerted  attack  v^lU  be  made  by  the 
entire  Turkish  Arm^f— Achmed  Eyoub,  from 
Rasgrad ;  Mehemet  All,  from  Osman  Bazar ; 
Osman  Pasha,  from  Plevna-Lovdscha,  on  both 
banks  of  the  Tantra  simultAieously.  In  this  con- 
nection, Achmed  Eyoub  is  rejwrted  to  have 
said;  "The  Grand  I>uke  Xlcholas  will  thus  be 
taken  like  a  rat  in  a  trap,  and  the  war  will  be 
tlnished  immediately."  As  no  Bulgarian  ever 
told  the  truth,  or,  if  he  were  veraciously  dis- 
posed, was  ever  able  to  estimate  numbers,  it  Is 
aior©  than  doubtful  whether  anything  so  de- 
cisive as  would  necessarilv  be  such  an  engaj:©- 
ment  has  ever  been,  contemplated,  or,  if  so, 
could  be  entirely  successful  at  all  points.  The 
Turks  are  only  formidable  when  they  act  strictly 
on  the  defensive,  and,  on  general  principles, 
combinations  based  upon  the  simultaneous 
action  of  columns  separated  by  great  distances 
are  asually  failures.  Still,  the  Russians  are  far 
from  being  easy  in  their  minds,  and  five  new 
bridges  are  bein^  constructed  as  rapidly  as  pos- 
sible; two  by  the  Roumanians  at  and  above 
Kikonolis;  three  by  the  Russians  at  Batin,  at 
Slmnitza.  and  Meca.  Ostensibly  these  are  to 
facilitate  the  arrival  of  the  reinforcements 
which  continue  to  pour  into  Bulgaria, 
but  in  reality  a  retreat  in  a  great  hurry 
is  the  eventuality  most  in  view,  and  the  fever- 
ish activity,  after  so  many  weeks  ■  of  compara- 
tive apathy,  -displayed  by  the  Russian  Intend 
ance  shows  the  magnitude  of  the  danger  which 
is  apprehended.  E^sery  possible  vehicle  has 
been  hired  or  requisitioned.  The  cost  of  trans- 
portation of  men  and  material  by  the  Ron-  ! 
manian  railways  alone  amoiints  already  to 
ti. 000. 000  francs,  of  which  only  ooo-thlrdhas 
%s  yet  been  paid  to  the  company.  The  carts 
Kid  W{>:?ons  used  for  the  commissariat  and 
Quartermaster's  stores  cost  still  more.  The 
bomber  of  teams  employed,  at  a  ilxud  dailr  hire 
of  25  francseach,  is  25,000,  of  which  18.000 
have  been  brought  from  Russia  and  7.000 
requisitioned  in  Roumania — so  that  the  reiular 
outlay  for  the  "equlpa^  train"  is  500.000 
francs  per  diem.  We  are  only  in  the  second 
month  of  active  hostilities,  and  the  total  of  the 
war  expenses  exceeds  3,000.000,000  francs. 
This,  indeed,  is  one  of  the  considerations  which 
are  working  most  potently  on  the  mind  of  the 
Emperor  in  favor  of  pushing  forward  matters 
on  a  grand  scale  in  order  to  win  such  a  splendid 
victory  that  be  Will  be  able  to  oift*r  terms  of 
peace  so  mild  that;even  the  Turks  will  not  hesi-_, 
tate  to  bury  the  hatchet ;  particularly,  if  it  be' 
true,  as  is  asserted,  that  the  Sultan  Is  equally 
anxious  to  put  an  end  to  the  war.    This  last 

q^uestion  ia.  In  reality,  the  one  on  whose  solu- 
tion rests  the  whole  affair,  and  the  reported  re- 
turn of  Midhac  Pasha  to  ^vor  and  influence,  if 
sot  to  actual  x>ower,  is  by  no  means  a  pacific 
symptom. 

Of  late  the  Turks  have  been  successful  be- 
yond even  their  moat  sanguine  expectations, 
out  whoever  be  their  directing  spirit,  the  flrsc 
reverses  will  be  the  signal  for  the  display  of  the 
Prophet's  standard,  and  then,  to  use  their  own 
expression,  "Xot  oue  Giaour  shall  escape  the 
massacre."  The  knowledge  of  the  horrors  in 
store  for  the  unhappy  rayah  population,  added 
to  his  natural  repugnance  to  bloodshed,  is  pro- 
duciug  a  most  painful  effect  upon  the  character 
of  the  Czar,  who  is  personallv  ready  to  make 
peace  at  any  price  If  he  were  allowed  to  follow 
the  bent  of  his  own  inclinations.  '*  Who  could 
have  supposed  that  my  reign  would  have  been 
saBguiuary  ?"  he  said  to  some  one,  by  whom  it 
was  repeated  to  me.  *' I  was  wam*e4l  by  my 
father  that  I  should  have  a  heavy  burden  to 
"bear.  My  people  Insist  that  I  shall  be  a  great 
warrior,  and  yet  there  is  not  in  me  an  atom  of 
the  stuff  wherewith  to  make  a  Xapoleon.  And 
this  phantom  of  Pan-Slavism,  a  mere  comedy  of 
puppet-",  which  no  one  can  examine  witHout 
seeing  its  absurdity.  I  must  be  a  Slav  whether 
I  will  or  no,  and  yet  there  is  not  in  the  veins  of 
any  one  member  of  my  family  a  single  drop  of 
Slavonic  blood.  We  are  (Germans,  and  nothing 
but  Germans.  And  what  is  worse,  mv  sons  are 
.affected  with  the  Slavonic  disease,  and,  like  my- 
self, will  one  day  be  spoken  of  in  history  as 
wretched  comedians.  We  have  no  allies;  the 
doctrine  of  Pan-Slavism  has  detached  from  us 
our  ancient  friends  by  exciting  the  jealousy  of 
Austria  and  Germany,  and  we  are  left  ^vith 
nothing  to  count  upon  but  the  doubtful  friend- 
ship of  Montenegro  and  Servia,  or  of  those 
miserable  Tcheques,  who  will  betray  me  as  they 
betray^the  House  of  Hapsburg ;  who  offer  of 
their  own  free  will  to  join  the  Greek  Church 
to-day,  and  are  ready  to  become  Protestants  to- 
morrow, if  such  were  the  will  of  William  of 
Pniasla.  The  Poles  are  discontented,  and  with 
just  cause.  I  could  have  rallied  their  alle- 
giance, but  such  was  not  the  policy  of  my  ad- 
visers, and  now  Poland  is  lost  to  Russia,  and 
my  own  conscience  reproaches  me  that  I  was 
the  real  cause  of  their  revolt.  I  can  no  longer 
believe  in  their  loyalty,  because  I  have  been 
taught  to  distrust  them,  and  I  cannot  despise 
them,  because  they  do  not  deserve  my  con- 
tempt." 

But  the  predominant  sentiment  with  the 
Czar  is  the  druad  of  assassination.  He  fears 
the  Poles,  and  he  fears,  even  more,  the  nihil- 
ittae  among  his  countrymen,  and,  it  is^^said, 
constantly  expresses  his  apprehensions  lest  he 
shall  be  punished  by  l^i^ven  for  the  violation 
of  his  promise  to  his  dyin?  father — *'  never 
t«  go  to  war,  except  to  resist  iuvasion."  Per- 
haps this  morbid  preoccupation  was  aggravated 
by  the  remembrance  of  the  legend  of  the  Ro- 
manoffs, according  to  whioh  no  member  of  the 
family  has  e^er  attained,  or'ever  wlU  attain,  the 
age  of  60.  But,  although  his  three  predeces- 
sors, Paul,  Alexander,  Eind .  Nicholas,  died  be-, 
between  50  and  60  years  of  ago,  and  his  sister, 
the  Grand  Duchess  Marie,  was  only  57  at  her 
death,  in  1876,  it  may  be  doubted  whether 
saoperatition  has  much  to  do  with  the  depres- 
■lou  of  Ilia  spirits,  as  -being  bom  in  1816.  his 
Mi^esty  has  already  passed  the  fatal  date, 
whereas  the  continued  reverses  of  his  Army, 
and  the  alarming  symptoms  of  a  Polish  insur- 
rection are  suffiident  in  themselves  to  account 
for  any  amount  of  despondency.  The  news 
from  Poland  is,  indeed^  about  as  bad  as  it  well 
can  be,  but  of  this,  as  of  the  agitation  in 
Gftlicia  and  Transylvania,  I  have  details  too 
fuU  and  circumstantial  to  be  crowded  into  the 
space  still  left  at  my  dlaposaL  They  are  not 
-generally  known,  but  the  situation  is  extremely 
critical,  and  I  most  make  it  the  subject  of  an- 
other letter. 

From  the  extreme  front  the  dispatches  re- 
ceived by  the  foreign  Consuls-General,  but  not 
■jnbliahed  by  the  Roumanian  press,  are  very 
aiaoouraging.  The  Grand  Duke  has  moved  his 
beod-quuters  to  Tohauchmachaia,  at  the  junc- 
tion of  the  roads  connecting  Sistova  with 
Plevna  and  Biela,  ostensibly  to  conduct  the  ope- 
zatlons,  but  in  reality  to  avoid  being  cut  off  at 
^Umova  in  the  event  of  another  deteat.  Beb- 
zora  la  occupied  by  ^e  Turks,  and  all  commu-

OP  THE  "  SICK  MAN  OP  THE  BOSPHOEUS." 
From  our  Oint  CorreapondaA 
BncHABBST,  Monday,  Aug.  6,  1877. 
One  by  one,  oooasionally  in  squads  of 
three  or  more,  all  the  foreign  correspondents 
who  were  authorized  to  accompany  the  Army 
have  strugr^cd  back  to  the  Roumanian  capital, 
with  the  eXk.  Iption  of  the  gentleman  represent- 
ing the  London  Standard^  mho  still  remains, 
like  a  last  rose  of  Summer,  somewhere  in  North- 
ern Bulgaria.  With  scarcely  an  exceptlozi,  the 
specials  are  disheartened  ;  their  acoounts  of  the 
military  and  sanitary  condition  of  the  troops  are 
hopeful  or  desjjondent,  according  as  their  indi- 
vidual sympathies  are  Philo-Turkish  orPhllo- 
Rnssian,  but  they  are  pretty  unanimous  on  one 
point,  to  wit — the  obtaining  of  information  Is 
difiBlcult,  its  trannoission  from  the  field  is  im- 
possible. Certain  restrictionahad  been  imposed 
and  accepted  at  the  beginning  of  the  campaign, 
but  it  was  understood  that  letters  might  always 
be  sent  to  the  Western  cities  of  Europe,  and 
that,  although  direct  telegraphy  from  the  front 
was  not  to  be  thought  of,  dispatches  might 
be  forwarded  by  private  messeribers  to 
Bucharest,  and  thence  to  the  newspapers, 
provided  always  that  thev  contained  nothing 
calculated  to  compromise  the  success  of  the  ope- 
rations by  any  indiscreet  revelations  of  the  po- 
sitions of  the  troons,  or  discussion  of  the  pos- 
sible intentions  of  the  Commimder-in-Chief.  To 
insure  strict  conformity  with  the  above,  all  tele- 
grams were  to  be  presented,  in  French,  to  the 
"  Direction,**  in  order  to  receive  the  high  sanc- 
tion of  the  Censorship  Bureau,  without  which 
nothing  would  be  allowed  to  pass.  Onerous  as 
were  these  conditions,  circorastances  soon  led  to 
the  adoption  of  more  stringent  measures  in  or- 
det  to  keep  the  world  in  ignorance  of  the  true 
state  of  affairs.  In  vain  did  the  correspondents 
endeavor  to  be  laudatory  by  glossing  over  do- 
feats  and  attenuating  their  gravity,  or  to  bo 
noncommittal  by  conSning  themselves  to  the 
narration  of  minor  episodes  of  the  campaign, 
which,  although  interesting  to  foreign  readers, 
were  in  their  nature  and  Ivearings  utterly  unim- 
portant. So  suspicious  did  the  Russians  become — 
so  jealous  were  they  of  their  damaged  prestige — 
that  they  fancied  an  allusion  to  their  defeats  and 
failures  in  the  moat  innocent  and  commonplace 
word  or  phrase,  and  finally  issued  positive  or- 
ders that  no  letters  or  telegrams,  either  on  pri- 
vate and  personal  affairs  or  addressed  to  a  news- 
paper should  be  permitted  to  leave  their  camps. 
A  great  victory  will  probably  change  this,  but 
at  present  the  embargo  is  complete  and  with- 
out exceptions.  One  of  tho  Parisian  corro- 
5!pondent3  has  given  me  hisexporience  in  tho  mat- 
ter. He  was  at  Biela  and  had  lost  all  his  money, 
which  had  been  stolen  by  his  servant,  a  pious 
and  patriotic  Bulgarian,  who,  after  the  robbery, 
enlisted  in  the  Bult^ariau  legion.  Wishing  to 
obtain  funds,  he  carried  down  the  Censor  Bu"^ 
reau,  for  its  countersiga,  the  following  telegram 
which  was,  to  use  his  own  words,  "  refuse<l 
with  much  easemess"  (beaucoup  iTeittpreMe- 
ment :)  *'  Ai  4U  voU  ;  resU  aanx  argent  Eiivoytr

the  authorities  were  obdurate  ;  they  would  ap- 
prehend and  puni.-ih  the  thief,  if  the  crime  co-old 
be  proved,  and  I  may  a3  well  add  here,  that,  bs- 
ing  enrolled  among  thepatriot-iof  tho  '*  Legion" 
which  calU  itsolf  tho  "  Avenzers,"  ho  is  still 
at  largj ;  and  they  would  a-lvauco  Mr.  X.  as 
much  moaoy  a^  ho  neodj-l,  but  noithor  a  dis- 
-patchnora  letter  could  bo  permitto<l-  Mr.  X. 
''is  here  pow,  and  does  not  propose  to  go  back 
again.  Something  similar  has  been  the  expe- 
rience of  everybody,  if  everybody  wore  frant 
enough  to  tell  it  Still,  In  spite  of  all  their  pre- 
cautions, the  truth  leaks  out,  although  the  pub- 
lic should  not  give  absolute  croden-^e  to  all  tho 
pompous  announcements  of  certain  great  dallies 
pretending  to  publish  letters  or  telegrams  writ- 
ten at  or  sent  from  **  tho  front."  They  are 
usually  veracious,  but  in  nine  cases  out  of  10 
they  are  only  clever  compilations. 

Since  the  Roumanian  Army  has  taken  the  field, 
the  Bucharest  newspapers  are  as  silent  as  mutes 
at  a  funeral,  and  it  is  only  in  private  political 
circles  and  among  the  foreiflrn  Consuls  General 
that  any  news  can  be  picked  iip.  All  of  tho 
natiouul  ministers  have  left  to  giire  the  benetlt 
of  their  advice  to  their  sovereign  who  is  tloat- 
ing  between  Plojana  and  Kalafat.  Tarnu-Magu- 
relli  and  Nifcnpolis ;  the  Princess  '  left  in  the 
same  general  direction  yesterday.  The  proverb 
about  there  being  safety  ia  the  multitude  of 
counselors  is  doubtless  true,  but  there  Is 
another  one  equally  worthy  of  attention  which 
says  that  '*  that  too  many  cooks  spoil  tho  broth." 
The  Roumanian  army  of  invasion  is  actively 
engaged  in  throwi^<;  up  intrenchments  a  few 
miles  outside  of  Nikopolis,  at  Krmeue  Vubla 
and  Samovit;  the  flrSt  for  the  protection  of  the 
line  of  communication  with  Sistova,  the  otheri 
for  the  defense  of  the  valleys  of  the  Osma  and 
Vid,  the  fourth  communication  between  tho 
interior  and  the  base  of  operations  Sistov-Nik- 
opoHs  -being  covered  at  Bulgarenl,  by  the 
remnants  of  Krildener's  and  Scharkofsky's  corpa 
reinforced  by  several  divisions  from  head- 
quarters. As  small  parties  of  marauding  ir- 
regulars are  nightly  enjraged  with  the  liouma- 
iiian  outposts,  it  is  probable  that  a  Turkish  ad- 
vance toward  the  Dunube  is  imminent,  aud,  if 
made,  as  ts  clearly  indicated  by  the  nature  of 
the  country,  along  the  valley  of  the  Vid,  where 
there  is  a  good  road,  co%'ered  on  its  right  by  the 
River  Vid.  fordable  between  Guljanl  and  His- 
sarlik,  whence  two  others  lead  to  the  left  of  Nik- 
opolis, the  one  passing  to  the  east,  the  other  to 
the  west,  of  Samovitz.  This  advance  is  likely  to 
be  successful  against  the  extreme  right  of  the 
Russian  base  before  the  people  at  Bulgareni  can 
get  to  the  town.  A  circumstance  which  con- 
firms my  opinion  that  such  is  the  movement 
contemplated  by  Osman  Pasha  is  the  erection  of 
new  batteries  bv  the  Turks  at  Rahova,  only 
four  hours'  marcn  distant,  destined  to  check  any 
demonstration  from  Beehet  on  tho  Wallachian 
side.  This  I  believe  to  be  the  true  state  of 
affairs,  as  I  can  scarcely  imagine  even  a  Rus- 
sian General  to  be  bo  utterly  ignorant  oJC  his 
profeagion  as  to  occupy  the  positions  which,  it 
is  asserte«l,  have  been  taken  up  by  Gen.  Kriide- 
ner,_  or  his  successor,  for  another  attack  on 
Plevna,  where,  with  his  centre  on  the  heights 
of  Paradim.  his  left  ;wing  at  Tepeva,  and  his 
right  resting  on  tho  Vid,  at  Kreta,  he  is  obliged 
to  cover  a  distance,  as  the  crow  flies,  of  about 
25  miles,  in  a  country'  where  there  is  not  a  sin- 
gle road  practicable  tor  artillery,  where  his  cav- 
alry cannot  act,  and  where  his  rear  and  left 
liank  are  directly  threatened  by^aflz  Pasha's 
division  at  Selvl  The  removal  of  the  head- 
quarters of  the  Army  from  Timova  to  Biela  is 
an  hidication  of  the  fears  entertained  by*the 
Gteneral  Staff,  for  milittury  history  presents  no 
e:£ample  of  the  precipitate  retreat  or  the  centre 
of  a  great  army  after  the  sample  check — as  they 
call  the  defeat  of  Plevna— of  a  fraction  of  ono 
of  its  ^fings,  at  a  point  more  than  00  miles  dis- 
^tant. 

Nor  before  Kustchuk  do  affairs  prosper. 
Eschreff  Pasha*s  successor  is  not  for  sale  ;  the 
Slobodja^  batteries  cannot  prevail  against 
the  fortress  which  rarely  even  deigns  to  reply 
to  their  harmless  pyrotechnic  exhibitions  ;  the 
grand  attack  made  by  the  Czarowitch  from 
Pyrgos  was  a  failure,  and  Gen.  Zimmermann 
cannot  succeed  in  reducing,  or  even  turning 
Silistria,  where  he  has  already  met  with  sev- 
eral smaU  repulses.  Accor.-iing  to  the  latest  ac- 
counts the  siege  of  Rustchuk  has  been  virtually 
raised,  and  ^  the  available  forces  there  are 
being  hurried  down  to  defend  the  right  bank  of 
the  Yantra,  where  it  is  probable  that  the  Czaro- 
witch will  find  himself  outnumbered  and  beaten 
by  3lehemet  All's  70,000  ratn,  who  have 
marched  to  attack  the  Russians  from  Schumla, 
and  the  Turks  have  strong  hopes  of 
being  able  to  capture  their  enemy's  siege  train, 
which,  indeed,  will  be  the  inevitable  result  of 
his  defeat. 

Gen.  Gourkho's  brilliant  raid  ■  across  the  Bal- 
kans has  been  checked;  dislodged  froni  Yeni- 
Saghra,  Eski-Saehra.  and  Yamboli,  abandoned  by 
his  cowardly  Bulgarian  auxiliaries,  who  will  sell 
him.  as  they  would  not  hesitate  to  sell  their  own 
motners,  if  they  can  by  so  doing  curry  favor 
with  their,  old  masters,  he  has  been  ohUged  to

great  difficulty  In  provisioning  %l^  troop*,  cut 
off  as  he  Is  from  his  base  of  supplies.  One  re- 
port gives  the  recapture  of  Kasamik  as  certain. 
and  states  that  Suleiman  Pasha  is  manoouvring 
in  order  to  close  the  defile  of  Schipka  to  the 
Russian  retreat  This,  however^  is  scarcely 
probable,  as  It  would  be  much  sounder  strategy 
to  leave  this  pass  open,  as  their  feeble  columns, 
exhausted  by  days  of  constant  desultory  skir- 
mishing with  the  enemy,  and  decimated  by  dis- 
ease and  want  of  food,  will  be  destroyed  by  the 
troops  of  Achmet  Eyoub  Pasha,  as  soon  as  they 
debouch  into  the  plains  of  Northern  Bulgaria : 
unless,  indeed,  the  Grand  Duke  should  succeed 
in  winning  such  a  victory  as  the  deplorable  In- 
capacity hitherto  displayed  gives  him  no  right 
to  anticipate.  The  Czar  himself  is  said  to  be  in 
very  low  spirits.  He  never  Wiahed  to  go  to  war, 
and  only  drew  the  sword  when  forced  to  it  by 
fears  of  a  revolution  at  home,  and  now  he  sees 
this  great  bugbear  of  all  autocrats  more  immi- 
nent than  it  was  before  he  crossed  the  Pruth, 
and  remembers  the  fate  of  another  mighty  sov- 
ereign, whose  utter  collapse  was  thought  to  bo 
quite  as  improbable  as  that  of  the  Emperor  of 
all  the  Ruanias.  He  does  not  dare  to  go  back 
to  St,  Petersburg,  and  he  is  a  nuisance  with^ 
the  Array,  where  his  constant  irritation  and 
Interference  in  matters  which  he  does  not 
understand,  paralyze  tne  encrey  and  intelligence 
of  those  few  memoers  of  the  General  Staff,  who 
are  not  classible  in  the  catalogue  of  *'  fossil 
remains."  An  imperial  ukase  decrees  the  taF*; 
mediate  mobilization  of  the  guard  and  of  sea£=. 
eral  divisions  of  the  reserves,  the  majority  of 
which  is  to  reinforee  the  Army  of  the  Danube. 
Extra  trains  transport  fresh  food  for  powder 
every  day,  to  the  suspension  of  all  ordinary 
traffic  from  Barboschl,  where  there  is  an  im- 
mense accumulation  of  war  material,  artillery, 
and  ambulance  stores,  and  a  large  powder- 
magazine  is  being  constructed  at  Kotrocheni, 
a  his:hly  intelligent  choice  of  site,  when  one 
considers  that  it  is  within  a  few  yards  of  one  of 
the  largest  hospitals  and  directly  opposite  the 
Summer  residence  of  the  Prince  of  Roumania. 
Everything,  indeed,  indicates  that  a  second 
campaign  is  contemplated,  for  the  first  is  pretty 
well  over,  as,  although  there  may  be  several 
more  engagements,  none  of  them  can  be  de- 
cisive. The  Russians,  if  defeated,  cannot  afford 
to  make  peace :  if  they  are  victorious,  they  can- 
not expect .  to  reap  any  solid  advantages  from 
their  success,  so  long  as  the  quadrilateral,  or 
only  two  of  its  aneles — Varna  and  Schumla — 
shall  hold  out.  and  I  should  imafriue  that  even 
the  most  sanguine  and  most  ignorant  Rus- 
sophile  must  have  abandoned  all  hope  of  their 
reduction  this  year.  The  conclusion  of  all  this 
is  that  r^he  Rus<^i»ns  have  fought  worse  even 
than  usual ;  the  Turk-*  much  better  than  they 
have  done  at  any  time  f&r  the  last  100  years, 
and  that  the  "sick  man  of  the  Bosphorus" 
has  more  vitality  than  wag  supposed,  since,  ^vith 
numerically  inferior  forces  and  an  empty  Treas- 
ury, he  has  proved  himself  much  more  than  a 
match  for  that  so-called  **  Colossus  of  the 
North,*'  which  is  in  reality"  the  most  gigantic 
political  fraud-of  the  nineteenth  century.

OBSOOK  A^*I>  IDAHO  PAPSBS  A8EIN0  THAT 
HE  BE  TREATED  JUSTLY. 
Frwn  the  PortUtnd  Oregonian,  Aug.  17. 
The  annexed  article  from  the  Boise  StatesnMn 
will  serve  as  an  effective  az^wer  to  certain  critics 
and  elupen  who  are  having  much  to  say  ahout  the 
Indian  oatbreak  and  the  management  of  the  cam- 
paign. But  even  this' from  the  State97nan  needs  pai^ 
tial  correction.  It  is  remarked  that  the  onlv  fault 
was  that  the  troops  were  not  sooner  concentrated 
in  Idaho,  and  that  Howard  followed  the  direc- 
tions (riven  b^  the  "pious  souls"  of  the  In- 
dian Department  prior  to  ,  tho  outbreak.  But 
these  errors  were  In  no  sort  the  fault  of  Gen.  How- 
ard. He  is  not  Conunauder-ln -Chief  of  the  Army, 
but  is  a  subordinate  officer  acting  under  the  direc- 
tions of  his  superiors.  He  had  not  autocratic  powers 
to  deal  with  the  Indians  before  the  outbreak  as  he 
might  have  thought  fit;  and  he  would  not  have 
been  a  soldier  had  he  refused  obedience  to  the  In- 
structions of  the  Secretary  of  War  to  co-operate  with 
and  follow  the  directions  of  the  ofBcers  of  the  In- 
dian Department  in  the  matter  of  dealing  with  tho 
refractory  bands.  It  otiarht  surely  to  be  understood 
by  this  time  that  direction  of  the  transactions 
that  preceded  the  outbreak  was  hot  in  Howard's 
hands ;  neither  bad  ho  authority  before  or  after  the 
outbroak  to  order  up  troops  from  California  and 
Geotma.  and  it  is  well  known  that  his  own  force  in 
this  department  was  too  small  for  any  effective  oiwr- 
atlon.  Had  Q«n.  Howard  disregarded  the  orders 
which  k»  is  denoimced  for  obeying  he  would  have 
been  suspended  at  once,  and  justly,  for  the  very 
spirit  of  soldiership  is  -obedience  to  orders.  Let  us 
blame  the  Indian  policjtlf  we  will,  but  let  the  censure 
fall  np*m  its  authors  and  mani^crs.  Here  is  the 
Statftman'f  article : 

'  "  Thote  who  censure  Gen.  Howard  for  not  pi^isu- 
inc  Joseph  more  promptly  seera  to  fon?et  that  it  re- 
qnire^  time  to  provision  a  jpursuingforce  and  arrange 
'the  means  of  transiwrtatlon.  The  pursuit  had  to 
be  mad*  through  the  Bitter  Root  Mountains,  over  a 
trail  which  was  only  practicable  for  horsemen  and 
puck  trains:  Ttie  pack  trains  had  to  be  i>rovideti 
after  tho  pursuit  w;w  d»»termined  upoi* ;  besides  this 
step  could  not  be  decided-  upon  'until  there  was  a 
force  sufflcieut  to  leave  in  possession  of  the  ground 
for  the  protection  of  the  settlements,  as  It  was  not 
known  or  believed  by  any  one  that  the  hostllos 
liad  «n  r^ft  that  part  of  the  conntr>-.  Some- 
thing has  been  rj^  abont  tho  slow  mcrvomcnts  of 
CoL  Green's  command,  when  it  is  patent  to  uverv- 
lH)dy  who  knows  aujEthing  of  the  elrcurastancos,  that 
those  troops  were  "making  rapid  marches  witJi  as 
little  delay  as  possible,  Tlie  troops  were  hasteneyi 
forwanl  as  fast  as  they  arrived  here,  Col.  Gret-n  ro- 
mninlng  here,  as  the  circirmstances  corapi-lle«i  him, 
until  all  tho  tmons  hail  reached  tnU  iKjint.  Nothing 
la  more  certain  tiinn  that  thore  was  no  delay  that 
could  have  been  avoided.  The  only  f.-iult  wiu*  In  not 
sooner  decldiutf  ui>on  the  necessity  for  tlie  ronct'ntra- 
tion  of  troops  In  Idaho,  and  this  was  slmjily  a  tault  of 
judgment.  Joseph  went  upon  the  Lola  fork  trail  be- 
cause he  knew  that  Gen.  Howard  was  nt»t  in  a  condi- 
tion to  pursue  him.  The  only  way  that  he  cotlldjiave 
been  prevonl«d  from  taltinu  tho  trail  would  bav« 
been  to  station  a  snffl'-iont  force  in  advance  of  him, 
and  this  force  was  wanting.  The  arreat  mistake  was 
made  at  the  beginnin^c,  when  Jaseph  was  allowed 
time  to  make  lUs  preperattoiw  for  war  while  nbthing 
was  done  to  anticipate  him  :  and  for  this  Gen.  How- 
ard was  to  blame  in  obeyinc  the  pious  souls  who  had 
charge  of  him  at  the  time,  and  who.  thouRbt  they  had 
charge  ofthe  Indians.  Since  the  war  commenced  we 
have  seen  nothin:;  whtch  showed  a  want  of  energy 
and  activity  on  the  part  of  Gen.  Howard,  or  a  failure 
to  do  anything  which  could  reasonably  bo  expected.  '

UIFPICrLTIES  GROWIXO  OL'T  OP  THE  SWIN- 
DLES IN"  THE  LAKD  OFFICE — JUDGE  IBE- 
LAN'D  ASSUMES  THE  OFFENSIVE. 
Tho  Galveston  (Texiis)  J^'ews,  a  Democratic 
paper,  says,  in  its  issue  of  the  23th  lust.:  "  Judge 
Ireland,  as  regards  his  connection  with  the  land 
grab,  continues  on  the  line  of  offunslvo  defense 
which  ho  asstuned  'at  the  outset  when  he  acctuted 
Gov.  Hubbard  of  mancDUvrlng  to  bring  about  the 
resalt— tlio  issue  of  the  Gibson-  Hobby  land  certifi- 
cates— which  be  profe.ssed  to  deprecjite.  He  boldly 
siiapcs  his  campaign  of  self-vindleatton  Intoaeom- 
prenensive  war  upon  his  political  enemies,  Inclndlnir 
no  less  a  flirtu:^  than  .Sonat^jr  Coke.  In  the  way  of 
acpnjislve  r«miuisceiice.  he  produces  before  tho  pub- 
lie  for  the  first  time  a  letter  in-ilten  to  him  by  that 

featleman  on  the  subject  of  the  succession  to  Hon. 
I.  C.  Hamilton  In  the  United  States  Senate. 
It  was  understood  at  the  time  In  cer- 
tain circles  that  this  letter  pleilged  tho  writer,  who 
was  then  Governor,  not  only  that  he  would  not  Iw  a 
candidate  for  the  Unit«*d  .States  Senate,  but  that  he 
would  support  Judge  Ireland  for  the  position.  Gov. 
Coke  wrote  to  Judge  Ireland :  '  I  will  frankly  say  to 
you  that  if  I  ba<l  to  name  the  Senator  to  auceoed 
Hon.  M-  C.  Hamilton,  voa  are  my  choice  over  any 
man  named,  or  likely  to  be,  for  this  place. 
"  •  "  I  sincerely  wish  yon  success.'  Ac- 
cording to  Jud:ie  Ireland's  theory  the  dis- 
tinguished author  of  -  these  assurances  was, 
at  the  moment  of  making  them,  busily  planning 
to  secure  his  own  election  as  successor  to  Senator 
Hamilton.  Judge  Ireland  admits  that  he  was  in- 
duced, niider  a  false  pretense,  to  .serve  as  an  instru- 
ment of  Coke's  ambition  in  dissuading  members  of 
the  Democratic  convention  to  forbear  from  subject- 
ing the  latter  to  a  pledge  not  to  relinquish  the  office 
of  Governor,  after  re-election,  to  accept  any  other 
position.  In  short,  as  reportcd'by  the  inter\iewing 
correspondent.  Judge  Ireland  considers  that  '  ho 
has  been  victimized  by  reposing  trust  in  rascally 
politic! ans-^men  whom  he  thought  honorable  be- 
yond doubt ;'  and  he  places  '  Coke  and  Hubbard'  in 
the  Kame  categorv  as  political  hucksters  who  live 
only  for  •'succession"  aud  the  like.'  It  must  occur 
u>  sagacious  friends  of  Judxe  Ireland  that,  wheh  h« 
thus  carries  the  war  Into  the  Africa  of  his  political 
enemies,  he  does  not  go  entirely  ivitliAut  incum- 
brances. He  has  yet  to  explain  to  public  satisfaction 
why  he  did  not  expose  at  an  earlier  day  the  exact  re- 
lations I>etween  himself  and  Gov.  Coke  regarding  the 
Senatorslxip.  and  why.  since  he  claims  that  he  could 
have  prevented  tho  election  of  Coke  to  the  Senate  by 
producing  the  latter's  letter,  he  did  hot  make  use  of 
the  document  to  exclude  from  a  place  of  such  Im- 
IK»rt»nce  a  man  whom  ho  holds  to  bo  eminently  un- 
worthy to  occupy  it.  We  say  nothing  of  his  Incidental, 
friendly,  and  confidential  association  with  the  princi- 
pal figure  in  the  wonderfully  ramified  drama  known 
as  the  land  grab." 

THE  GEORGIA  CONSTITUTION. 
The  Columbus  (Ga.)  Enquirer  of  the  25th 
Inst,  spoaks  thus  confidently  of  the  prospects  of 
the  ratification  of  the  newState  Constitution  :  "  The 
Constltntioual  Convention  of  Georgia  h»a  closed  its 
labors.  All  to  be  done  to^lay  is  mere  formalism^  A 
good  Constitution  has  been  prepared  J>y  our  best 
men,  and  on  tho  whole  it  is  a  grand  instrument 
which  the  people  will  overwhelminstly  ratify.  It  an- 
swers every  need  of  the  people,  maJces  provision  for 
necessary  reforms,  and  speaks  the  voice  of  enlight- 
ened Georgia.  The  two  most  troublesome  questions 
are  to  be  disposed  of  by  the  people  at  an  election 
Bubsequent-to  that  on  which  they  are  to  slgnifv  a 
ratification  or  rejection  of  the  Constitution.  These 
are  the  homestead  and  the  location  of  the  capital. 
To  the  Constitution  itself  we  do  not  believe  there 
will  be  any  opposition^  for  all  must  recognize  it  to  be 
futile.  Geoi^a  can  say  to  her  convention  members, 
weU  done,  good  and  falUiful  servants." 


TBE  SOUTH  AND  THE  SOUTHERN  POLICY. 
The  Kow-Orleans  Democrat  of  Aug.  25  in- 
dulges in  the  expression  of  the  following:  "Whether 
or  not  Mr.  Hayes'  Southern  policy  was  the  result  of

A  REMINDER  TO  MR.  PENDLETON.  .^ 
In  his  speech  in  Marietta,  Ohio,  on-SaturdayT 
Judge  West  said:  "With  peace  inevitably  came  a 
decline  in  prices.  What  then !  Our  opponents  say 
we  should  have  had  more  greenbacks ;  we  should 
have  paid  the  national  debt  with  ^rpenbacks.  then 
paid  the  preenbackft  with  national  bonds,  and  so  on, 
juggling  till  they  wore  each  other  out.  And  whence 
rauiu  the  national  debt  I  What  makes  It  so  large  I 
Had  It  not  been  for  those  '200,000  Democrats' 
which  the  South  was  bo  confidently  promised  would 
bar  the  way  of  tho  ITnion  troops  to  the  Ohio, 
all  men  know  tho  debt  would  not  bave  been 
half  as  large.  A  goutleman  who  stood  in  Colum- 
boa  the  other  ni^ht  and  mourned  for  the  poor, 
whose  head  became  a  fountain  of  tears  by 
reason  for  his  sympathy  for  the  tinemployed — ouf; 
excellent  friend  |Mr.  Pendleton — he  in  the  darkest 
hour  of  the  war  denounced  the  only  eturrency  the 
Government  had,  or  could  have,  as  going  forth  with 
the  brand  of  Cain ;  he  then  urged  that  it  shonia 
never  have  been  issued  in  contravention  of  the  fun- 
damental law,  when  he  knew  tliat  without  It  the 
Goverimieut  could  do  nothing.  Ho  denounced  tjie 
Randal  policy  of  th«  Govemmont  then  as  ho  does 
now,  and  as  a  result  of  that  aud  other  causes  the 
Government  paper  went  down,  down,  down,  while 
prices  went  up  until,  at  the  close  of  the  war,  we  had 
values  Inflated  two  or  three  times  above  their  real 
figures.  It  was  impossible  they  should  remain  so 
high.  Prices  came  down,  down,  luitil  the  crash  came. 
Could  it  have  been  avoided  t  I  tell  you,  my  fellow- 
dtizens,  no  wisdom  ever  did  or  could  avert  such  con- 
sequences- I  call  history  to  witness  that  no  such 
struggle  ever  occurred  without  financial  revulsion 
afterit.  _

A  LIBEL  SUIT  IN  A  NEW  SHAPE. 
Jacob  Kern,  .a  barber,  of  No.  87  East  ThSrd-

for  an  examination  on  a  charge  of  having  mailed  an 
improper  letter  to  his  brother  John,  residing  at  No.

pardon  for  his  action,  layw  the  blame  on  his  liater- 
In-law,  whom  he  charged  With  having  tempted  him. 
John  showed  the  letter  to  his  wife,  who  is  a  young 
and'attractive.  woman,  and  she  b^amfi  very  indig- 
nant and  catised  Jacob's  arrest, '-^anounctng  his 
charges  as  atrocious  lies,  invented  in  order  to  gratify 
his  revenge  -because  she  had  refused  to  become  his 
wife  and  had  married  his  brother.  Jacob,  when 
brought  before  the  Commissioner,  adhered  to  his 
stHtementa,  and  said  that  ho  could  provo^tbat  his 
sister-in-law  had  been  in  the  habit  of  frequenting  a

VERY  LOFTY  TUMBLING. 
On  Tuesday  evening  last  about  9  o'clock 
Thomas  Murray  and  another  man  were  fighting  in 
front  of  No-  70  Jomos-street.  Officer  CrowlQy>of 
the  Oak -Street  Police  Station,  seeing  the  disturbance, 
harried  forward  to  arrest  the  men.  The  two  pu^^ 
lists  being  warned  of  tho  oIBcer's  near  approach,  im> 
mediately  took  to  their  heels,  each  In  a  different 
direction.  Officer  Crowley  pursued  Murray  and 
chased  him  int^  the  rear  of  tho  tknement-honse  No. 
20  Rooaevelt-sl^^ot.  Murray  ran  up-stalrs  to  the 
third  story  with  tho  officer  clpse  behind  him,  and  as 
if  it  was  an  everj'  day  occurrence,  and  without  the 
slightest  hesitation  on  his  port,  jumped  out  of  the 
window,  a  distance  of  about  45  feet  from  the  ground. 
As.  he  was  making  his  hasty  exit,  looking  back 
a«H'-'  'sei-ing 
Imfty,       he- 


exit, 
his  pursuer  In  close  prox- 
uonchalantlv  remarked  to  the 
officer,  "  Say,  ycuiig  fellow,  won't  you  take  a 
tumble."  The'^utrdian  of  the  peace,  as  if  by 
m.-igic.  came  suddenly  to  a  standstUL  and  was  de- 
cidedly of  the  opinion  that  In  the  present  coso  he 
would  not  "tiUce  a  tumble."  Thinking  the  man 
was  dashed  to  piec*.s,  and  trembling  at  the  conse- 
quence, the  officer  didn't  know  what  course  to  pur- 
sue, bat  finally  walked  down  stairs  ouietly.  and  in  a 
meditative  mood.  He  was  ofitonisheu  and  also  much 
relieved  to  find  Murray  sitting  in  the  yard,  having 
received  urT^heavier  punishment  than  a  Ncratchod 
♦•ye  end  a  bruised  Khonlder.  Yesterday  Murray  was 
arraigned  Ijcfore  Justico  Duffy  ot  the  Tombs  Police 
Court.  , ind  the  moglstratp,  thinking  that  be  had  re- 
ceived punishment  enough  already,  discharged  him.

Jr..  the  Collector  of  the  Port,  died,  and  in  settling

followed,  wbicb  led  to  tho  Implication  and  arrest  of

It  is  understood  that  Mr.  A.  B.  Cornell, 
"the  Naval  Office.r  of  the  Port  of  New- York, 
■wiD  be  asked  to  resign  his  position  in  the 
Custom-honse,  since  he  persists  in  retain- 
ing his  executive  position  in  the  Republi- 
can oi^:anization  of  this  State.  Mr.  CoR- 
"KELL  does  not,  apparently,  consider  the 
■two .  -positions  to  be  incompatible,  but 
the  J  President  does,  and  as  the 
President  happens  to  be  Mr.  Cornell's  su- 
perior ofiSeer,  he  ■will  no  doubt  see  the  expe- 
diency of  respecting  the  President's  order. 
iXi:.  Cornell  is  not  a  gentleman  of  very 
<lTiiek  intellectual  perception,  and  it  is  just 
possible  that  he  may  not  have,  as  yet,  realized 
the  fact  that  the  iliistrious  Senator  who 
Secured  for  him  his  office  has  ceased  to  be  a 
more  /important  factor  in  the  Federal 
servioe  in  New- York  than  the  President  of 
the  United  States.  A  little  further  reflec- 
tion will,  doubtless,  satisfy  him  on  «bis 
po'int,  and  a  little  further-  experience  may 
pofsibly  convince  him  that  neither  in  his 
official  nor  his  political  capacity  are  his 
8f  rvices  absolutely  indispensable  to  his 
t  ellow-citizens. 


It  is  reported  that  Sitting  Bull,  declin- 
"Ing  to  wait  for  the  arrival  of  the  embassy 
from  Washington,  has  suddenly  recrossed 
the  Canadian  boundary  with  hostile  inten- 
tions. Of  course,  if  he  has  come  back,  the 
embassy  has  no  errand ;  it  was  intended  to 
invite  him  to  return  and  behave  like  a  re- 
pentant and  forgiven  prodigaL  If  he  makes 
"hi  3  way  southward  of  his  own  accord,  he 
yroposes  war.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind, 
>iowever,  that  Sitting  Bull  has  never  sent 
'any  word  to  indicate  that  he  desires  peace. 
The  mission.,  to  treat  with  hiTn  was  under- 
taken at  the  instance  of  the  Canadian  au- 
thorities, who  were  of  the  opinion  that  the 
chiejwasready  to  surrender.  ITntil  it  is 
certain  that  the  Indians  are  yet  in  Canada 
the  Coimmissioners  will  not  begin  their  jour- 
ney. _- 


The  Corporation  Attorney,  better  known  J  bi 
|T)y  his  Tammanyi associates  as  "  Billy  " 
BcVD,  attempts  an  answer  to  the  charges 
coutained  in  The  Times  against  the  ad- 
ministration of  hig  ofBce.  The  answer,  as  con- 
toined  in  Kelly's  newspaper,  is  to  the  effect 

fiiat  BoVD  turns  into  the  City  Treasury 
not  only  a  larger  sum  than  his 
predecessor,  "Tom"  Fields,  but  also 
.than  Mr.  Buggles,  who  immediately  pre- 
seded  him.  We  hardly  think  that  it  can  be 
a  matter  for  just  pride  to  Mr.  Boyd  to  show 
that  he  i^more  honest  than  F-ields,  and  it 
certainly  does  not  mend  his  case  to  prove  that 
he  is  much  more  ingenious  in  finding  pretenses, 
for  seuding  out  Corporation  notices  _  than 
was  lUx.  Buggles.  It  is  stated  in  behalf  of 
Mr.  .Botd  that  he  turned  into  the  City 
Trefisury  last  year  $7,478  79,  but  it  is 
als<j  stated  that  the  monthly  average  of  his 
office  work  is  the  sending  out  and  securing 
jr.dgment  on  about  1,200  notices.  Does 
3  Si.  Boyd  pretend  that  these  notices  neVhim 
'less  than  $5  apiece,  and  if  they  do  so,  what 
becomes  of  the  remsining  $64,000  which 
does  not  find  its  way  into  the  City  Treasury  f 


Theisndden  change  in  the  tactics  of  the 
Jtussian  Generals,  from  reckless  and  per- 
sistent attack  to  cantionB  defense,  has  natur- 
ally suggested  sospioions  of  "timidity"  to 
the,  correspondents  at  head-qoarters ;  but 
this  is  hardly  &  &ir  view  of  the  case.  The 
Brvt  duty  of  every  General  is  to  discover  by 
rrbat  moi»  of  *g*^"g  he  can  most  effeeta- 


to  employ  it  vigorously  and  persistently. 
The  offensive  method  has  been  tried  and 
found  wanting  ;  but  the  defensive,  now  on 
trial,  has  hitherto  proved  undeniably  suo- 
oesafol.  In  fact,  despite  the  disastrous 
failure  of  the  anticipated  "  promenade  to 
Adrianople,"  Bussia  may  well  be  content 
should  the  close  of  the  campaign 
leave  her  where  she  is  at  present.  If 
her  object  be  to  redeem  her  pres- 
tige, the  defense  of  the  Sehipka  Pass 
and  the  battle  of  Kuruk-Dara  are  an  ample 
set-off  against  Plevna.  If  it  be  to  secure 
some  tangible  advantage,  the  possession  of 
the  Balkan  defiles  gives  her,  so  to  speak,  a 
pass-key  into  Boumelia.  If  she  aim  at  ex- 
hausting her  antagonist's  strength,  a  more 
effectual  method  could  hardly  be  devised 
than  the  series  of  bloody  and  unsuccessful 
attacks  in  which  the  Sultan's  best  troops 
are  gradually  melting  away.  Moreover,  the 
cooler  weather,  which  will  put  a  stop  to 
the  devastating  mortality  in  the  Bussian 
camp,  is  now  close  at  hand ;  and,  sooner  or 
later,  the  chasms  left  in  the  Turkish  ranks 
by  the  havoc  of  the  past  fortnight  will  be 
severely  felt  by  an  army  already  fatally  in- 
ferior in  numbers,  and  with  no  adequate 
reserves  to  fall  back  upon. 


That  the  Bussians  have  suffered  a  good 
deal  more  severely  than  th9  official  reports 
admit  is  sufficiently  obvious,  and  the  Vienna 
speculations  which  see  in  the  ready  ac- 
ceptance of  Servian  and  Boumanian  aid 
evidences  of  exhaustion  have,  at  least,  this 
basis  of  probability.  It  is  quite  possible, 
also,  that  the  Bussians  will  not  have  before 
the  breaking  up  of  the  weather  "  the 
numerical  superiority  necessary  for  a 
decisive  result."  Further,  we  have 
the  authority  of  a  Bussian  newspaper 
for  the  assertion  that  the  prolongation  of  the 
war  till  next  Autumn  would  bring  its  cost 
up  .to  $620,000,000,  being  an  addition  of 
50  per  cent,  to  the  national  debt  of  Bussia 
as  estimated  on  Jan.  1,  1876.  It  is  not  be- 
lieved to  be  possible  to  raise  any  such 
amount  by  the  issue  of  bonds.  It  is  esti- 
mated that  $360,000,000  of  the  sum 
likely  to  bo  ■ "  needed  will  take 
the  form  of  a  forced  loan  upon 
the  people,  that  is,  will  be  issued 
as  paper  money  with  a  forced  currency. 
Biit  as  the  paper  currency  of  Bussia 
already  amounts  to  $640,000,000,  she 
will,  on  this  theory,  have  an  excellent 
chance  of  trying  the  e.xperiment  of  iloating 
$1,000,000,000  of  legal-tender  notes  in 
the  course  of  the  next  twelve  months.  The 
difficulties  of  her  finance  are  as  formidable 
as  her  difficulties  in  the  field,  and  yet  her  ul- 
timate supremacy  in  the  present  struggle  is 
about  as  certain  as  was,  in  the  darkest  days, 
the  triumph  of  the  North  over  the  South. 


It  is  difficult  to  realize  the  full  extent  of 
the  awful  visitation -of  famine  through 
which  the  people  of  the  Presidency  of 
Madras  are  at  present  passing.  Here  is  a 
community  as  large  as  that  contained  in 
twelve  of  the  most  populous  States  of  this 
Union  living  in  absolute  destitution  within 
an  area  about  twice  the  size  of 
the  State  of  New- York.  Out  of  that  twenty- 
four  millions  of  people  more  than  half  a  mil- 
lion have  died  by  starvation  already,  and 
the  best  that  man  can  do  will  hardly  prevent 
three  and  a  half  millions  more  from 
falling  victims  to  famine  and  pesti- 
lence. The  present  famine  might 
have  been  stayed  had  the  south-west  Mon- 
soon, with  its  accompanying  rains,  come 
at  the  usual  time,  but  the  time  has  passed, 
and  the  first  famine  proves  to  have  been 
merely  the  introduction  to  a  period  of 
drought,  starvation,  disease,  and  death 
such  as  even  the  annals  of  British  India 
ftiil  to  record.  The  Government  may  have 
been  tardy  and  niggardly  in  dealing 
with  the  earlier  visitation ;  the  present 
one  is  utterly  beyond  the  power  of  any  Gov- 
ernment to  do  more  than  slightly  alleviate. 
If  there  ever  was  a  case  in  which  the  uni- 
versal brotherhood  of  man  ought  to  assert 
itself,  this  surely  is  one,  and  the  United 
States  would  do  well  to  promptly  recognize 
their  obligations  as  part  of  the  great  family 
of  nations  hy  sending  their  quota  of  much- 
needed  aid  tb  the  famine-stricken  millions 
of  Southern  India. 


THE  GEORGIA  CONSTITUTIOK. 

The  convention  whose  labors  in  connec- 
tion with  the  preparation  of  a  new  Constitu- 
tion for  the  State  of  Georgia  are  now  ended 
was  evidently  managed  with  greater  shrewd- 
ness and  cautiQ&than  are  usually  found  in 
the  proceedings  of  the  Southern 
Democracy.  Whatevei;  .  changes  have 
been  made  have  been  so  cor- 
ducted  as  to  prevent  needless  irritation, 
and  to  accomplisH  all  that  was  desired  with- 
out wounding  the  sensibilities  of  moderate 
people.  The  sagacity  of  this  course  is  un- 
questionable. The  obvious  results  are 
chiefly  noticeable  as  indicative  "of  the  con- 
tinued strength  of  the  feeling  which  resents 
every  reference  to  the  rebaBion  as  an  af- 
front, and  every  affirmation  in  regard  to. 
the  supreme  authority  of  the  Union  as  an 
infraction  of .  State  sovereignty.  It  cannot 
e  forgotten  that  among  the  points  vehe- 
mently pressed  in  favor  of  revision  was  the 
alleged  outrage  to  Confederate  convictions 
embodied  in  the  first  article  of  the  present 
Constitution.  As  epitomized  by  McPheb- 
SON,  this  article  declared  that  "  the  State 
of  Georgia  shall  ever  remain  a  member 
of  the  American  Union ;"  that  "  every 
citizen  thereof  owes  paramount  alle- 
giance to  the  Constitution  and  Gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States,  aud 
no  law  or  ordinance  of  this  State,  in 
contravention  or  subversion  thereof,  shall 
ever  have  any  binding  force."  We  are  apt 
to  consider  these  mere  matter-of-fact 
declarations, — inserted  as  an  essential  part 
of  the  preliminary  clauses,  and  involving  no 
controversy  whatever.  The  genuine  South- 
erner sees  theJn  in  a  different  light,  io  him 
they  convey  a  condemnation  of  the  prin- 
ciple for  which  he  fouglit.  The 
Georgia  Convention  has  given  effect  to 
the  feeling  by  quietly  eliminating  the 
obnoxious  expressions.  There  is  no  need- 
less flaunting  of  the  old  banner  of  State 
rights  in  the  sense  understood  at  the  South. 
The  Union  declaration  of  1S6S  is  simply 
dropped,  and  nothing  equivalent  to  it,  or 
that  can  be  accepted  as  a  substitute  for  it, 
is  in  its  place. 

Having  said  so  much  respecting  the  gen- 
eral spirit  in  which  the  convention  performed 
its  ,task,  we  ought  not  to  deny  it  credit 
for  the  seeming  good  faith  with  which  it  has 
ignored  differences  of  race  and  color  in  the 
t»tva«tea  .'  M4oiafdr  -,  to  tiw 


of  the  State.  We  know  tb«t  in 
spite  of  the  giuoantiees  of  equality 
afforded  by  the  .  existing  Constitn- 
tion,  the  local  liegislatore,  since  it  passed 
nnder  Demoeratio  control,  has  contrived^  to 
impose  penalties  which  operate  invidiously 
againsV  the  freedmen.  In  the  same 
way  it  may  be  possible  for  the  law- 
makers of  the  State,  under  the  Con- 
stitution now  presented,  to  keep  in 
force  provisions  whose  practical  application 
falls  most  heavily  upon  colored  citizens. 
Apart  from  this  contingency,  the  proposed 
instrument  is  just  and  impartial.  Save  in 
the  single  matter  of  schools,  in  regard  to 
which  separation  on  the  basis  of  color  is  en- 
forced, there  is  really  nothing  of  which  the 
friends  of  the  colored  people  can  complain. 
Politically  and  before  the  law,  they  are  on 
an  equality  with  their  white .  neighbors. 
As  regards  the  suffrage,  the  only  alteration 
is  in  the  duration  of  the  period  of  residence 
required  to  constitute  a  voter.-  At  present, 
it  is  six  months;  as  proposed,  it  will  be 
twelve.  On  the  other  hand,  in-  the  matter 
of  punishments  the  new  Constitution  re- 
news the  restraints  already  in 'operation, 
prohibiting  whipping,  and  otherwise  lean- 
ing to  the  side  of  mercy.  The  poU.tax, 
levied  for  educational  purposes,  is  con- 
tinued. And  in  the  stringency  with  which 
the  payment  of  taxes  is  insisted  upon  as  a 
condition-precedent  of  voting,  a  means  of 
disfranchising  large  numbers,  of  voters  is 
afforded.  For  other  methods  now  em- 
ployed to  give  effect  to  the  -process  of  in- 
direct disfranchisement  the  convention  has 
not  supplied  any  remedy. 

The  right  of  the  State  to  regulate  the 
business  charges  of 'railroads  running  within 
its  boundaries  is  set  forth  in  terms  that 
would  make  glad  the  heart  of  the  Western 
Granger.  The  local  Legislature  is  empow- 
ered and  required  "to  pass  laws,  from  time 
to  time,  to  regulate  freight  and  passenger 
tariffs,  to  prj^ibit  unjust  discBminations,"_ 
and  "  other  tiian  just  and  reasonable  ratetf.'"^ 
As  if  these  phrases-  were  not  snffieiently 
comprehensive,  a  subsequent  paragraph  of 
the  same  article  declares  that  no  legisla- 
tion shall  b'e  valid  which  shall  "  permit 
corporations  to  conduct  their  business 
in  such  manner  as  to  infringe  the 
equal  rights  of  individuals  or  the  gen- 
eral well-being  of  the  State."  It  is  clear 
that,  subject  to  this  assertion  of  authority, 
the  Georgia  railroads  will  have  little  chance 
of  dividing  large  dividends  or  acquiring  the 
influence  which  railroads  in  other  parts  of 
the  country  have  frequently  exercised  in 
State  affairs.  From  other  provisions  we 
learn  that  the  convention  contemplated  the 
sale  by  the  State  of  the  railroads  it 
subsidized  and  more  or  less  completely 
owns.  There  will  probably  bo  difficulty  in 
finding  capitalists  willing  to  invest  their 
money  in  enterprises  not  likely  to  be  very 
remunerative'  under  the  mo)it  favorable  cir- 
cumstances, and  which  will  certainly  not  be 
enhanced  in  value  by  this  broad  statement 
of  the  State's  power  to  control  the  essential 
conditions  of  management.  Apart  from 
their  specific  merits,  the  provisions  indicate 
the  a*nwBsil>df5ft  of  oJllHOjj^respecting  the 
ions    of    corporations     to    the    States 

whose  legislation  they  are  indebted  for 
stenee.  The  Georgia  Convention,  by  its 
action  upon  this  subject,  has  but  complied 
witn  a  aenfluid  which  no  wiaajailroad  man- 
ager will  wi^ly  disregard.  The  fact  that 
it  is  in  some  respects  unreasoiTable  and 
dangerous  is  but  an  additional  reason  for 
facing  it  frankly  and  soon. 

To  protectjthe  purity  of  the  Legislature, 
lobbying  is  pronounced  a  crime,  for  which 
suitable  penalties  are  to  be  proWded.  And 
to  arrest  the  tendency  to  accumulate  in- 
debtedness, it  is  declared  that  "  the  bonded 
debt  of  the  State  shall  never  be  increased," 
except  for  causes  affecting  its  peace  and 
safety.  Taxation  is  made  obligatory  to  an 
amount  sufficient  to  pay  interest  on~  the 
debt  aft  present  recognized,  and  to  provide 
a  sinking  fund  for  the  redemption  of 
bonds.  These  would  be  honorable  provi- 
sions if  they  were  not  parts  of  the 
article  ~  which  renews  and  emphasizes 
the  scandalous  act  of  repudiation  'which 
disgraces  the  name  of  Georgia  in  the  money  ' 
markets  of  the  world.  To  affect  regard  for 
the  State  credit  after  blurring  and  blotting 
it  by  the  robbery  of  a  large  class  of  credi- 
tors whose  claims  are  as  valid  as  any  that 
are  still  acknowledged,  is  sheer  hypocrisy. 
The  bonds  repudiated  were  as  lawfully 
issued  as  bonds  on  which  interest  is 
paid  ;  their  proceeds  contribnted  to  the 
works  by  which  the  Stat^has  profited  and 
which  it  now  proposes  to  sell ;  and  to  refuse 
to  payHhem  because  they  emanated  from 
a  Bepublican  GoVerpment  and  passed  into 
Northern  hands,  wl^le  honoring  obligations 
that  remain  in  Southern  hands,  is  as  dis- 
graceful a  piece  of  dishonestjias  the  records 
of  repudiating  States  can  show.  The  new 
Constitution'  approves  and  ratifies  the  dis- 
honesty.     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The  death  oL  the  head  of  the  Mormon 
Church  and  comiaunity  it  an  event  of  great 
moment  in  the  history  of  the  Latter  Day 
Saints.  Nominally  a  religious  republic,  a 
colony  of  religionaries,  the  Mormon 
community  of  Utah  has  been  in 
reality  an  autocracy.  Bbigham  Young 
has  held  in  the  hollow  of  his  hand  the 
happiness,  fortufies,  and  destinies  of  his 
people.  'While  he  was  Governor  of  the  Ter- 
ritory, under  commission  from  the  President 
of  the  United  States,  aU  political  power  was 
added  to  the  immense  influence  which  he 
possessed  as  head  of  the  spiritual  organiza- 
tion which  is  known  as  the  Church  of  the 
Latter  Day  Saints.  When  he  ceased  to  be  an 
agent  of  the  civil  power  of  the  Bepublio,  he 
addressed  himself  to  such  a  separation  of 
his  people  frcwi  "  the  'gentiles  "  as  was  not 
thought  necessary  when  he  ruled  all  sects 
alike  as  Governor  of  Utah.  It  was 
not  until  this  trisis  in  the  history  of  the 
Mormons  was  reached  that  the  influx  of  non- 
Mormons  was  eoEsiderable  enough  to  ex- 
cite any  uneasiness  among  the  counselors 
of  the  theocracy.  With  such  aiinial  ability 
did  YotJNO  administer  the  temporal  affairs 
of  the  Mormon^  that  the  community  has 
been  from  that  .d»y  to  this  as  completely 
autonomous  as  it  could  have  been  if  it  had 
been  isolated  by  wide  seas  from  the 
rest  of  mankind.  'Various  sects  and  in- 
terests have  acquired  a  firm  footing  in  Salt 
Lake  City  and  in  the  other  towns  of  Utah. 
The  Mormons  have  been  gradually  surround- 
ed by  hostile  influences,  and  implacable 
foes  have  endeavored  to  rend  the  mysterious 
bond  which  kept  the  Mormon  Church  and 
State  in  compact  unity.  But  YpCNO  has 
'SMtMUV«d^tini^tt4^iMn«^ 


etta'blishment,  tlirough  all  these  years, 
perfect  ftftjrae-  the  Jewish  organization] 
the  days  of  the  fudges. 

IVIs  this  work  which  now  seems  to  be  the 
great  marvel  of  Brioeam  Young's  Ufer^He 
found  a  Church  ready  to  his  hanw;  he  has 
left  it  an  organized  eoclesiasticaLSiate.  To 
the  artful  delusions  of  SMffE  he  added 
revelation  after  revelation,  aa  he  pretended, 
tmtil  he  was  Prophet,  B^iest,  .  King, 
infallible,  in  daily  communication  with  the 
will  of  Heaven,  and  gifted  with  wisdom 
above  worldly  wisdom.  There  was  no  di- 
vine tmth  so  lofty  that  he  did  not  dare  to 
expound  it  to  his  followers.  And  in  the' 
multitudinous  details  of  their  .daily  life  there 
was  none  so  trivial  as  to  escape  his  critical 
attention.  He  professed  to  give  account  of 
his  observations  in  the  Seventh  Heaven 
with  the  same  particularity  with  which  he 
prescribed  the  domestic  manners  of  his 
flock.  'While  he  pretended  to  tell 
them  God's  will  concerning  their  sac- 
rifices for  the  faith,  he  thought 
it  not  beneath  him  to  regulate  their  fashion 
in  dress  and  the  character  of  their  purchases 
at  the  shops.  By  the  combination  of  various 
extraordinary  powers.  Young  gained  an  as- 
cendency over  his  people  which  has 
scarcely  a  parallel  in  modem  history.  It  is 
possible  that  some  of  them  hated  him  ;  it  is 
certain  that  they  all  feared  him.  His  pow-^ 
erful  personality  pervaded  the  councils  of 
Church  and  State,  swayed  the  entire  mass 
of  priesthood  and  people,  regulated  the 
social,  domestic,  and  religious  polity,  and 
made  itself  felt  in  every  household  in  the 
Mormon  {community.  There  were  others 
associated  -with  Young  in  the  administra- 
tion of  affairs,  but  his  will  and  purpose  have 
dominated  all  the  councils  of  the  theocracy 
from  1848  until  now. 

It  wa.s  Young's  ambition  to  fSnnd  in  the 
heart  of  the  continent  a  little  empire  which 
should  forever  remain  the  rsacred  home  of 
Mormonism,  unvexedby  the  foot  of  an  alien. 
The  discovery  of  gold  in  California,  and  the 
consequent  rush  across  the  continent,  made 
that  project  futile.  But  the  establish- 
ment of  _^  the  Mormon  colony,  self-support- 
ing, frugal,  productive,  and  prosperous,  as 
it  soon  became,  was  an  achievement  of 
which  the  Prophet  might  well  be 
proud.  For  a  while  he  defied  the  power 
of  the  American  Bepublic ;  and,  up  to 
the  day  of  his  death,  he  could  say  that  the 
religious  establishment  of  Mormonism  and 
its  distinctive  peculiarities  were  preserved 
intact.  The  Mormons  have  resisted  legisla- 
tion and  armies ;  they  have  defied  alike 
Judges  and  public  opinion,  and  they  havie 
maintained  their  own  devices  until  the 
ordinary  course  of  morality  seemed  J^affled. 
This  ia^aJiJirgely  Briqham  Young's  work. 
Cruel,  bloody,  and  vindictive  though  this 
man  doubtless  was,  he  must  be  credited 
with  the  possession  of  abilities  of  a 
superior  order.  He  seems  to  have  loved 
power  for  its  ovra  sake.  He  lived  frifcally, 
even  meagrely,  and  at  no  time  in  his\long 
career  did  he  ever  manifest  any  love  of'  dis- 
play or  any  low  ambition  to  be  sought  after 
and  flattered.  Unlearned,  and  with 
small  knowledge  of  the  philosophy 
of  man,  he  contrived  and  bmlt  up  a  system 
which  must  extort  the  admiration  of  all  who' 
have  studied  it.  He  is  dead.  The  Mormon 
State  faces  now  the  great  problem  of  its  ex- 
istence. It  is  difficult  to  guess  what  shall 
be  the  result  of  this  death.  But  it  does 
seem  that  it  will  be  the  final  blow  which 
shall  shatter  the  monstrous  fabric  of  Mor- 


WELCOME  THE  GOrEBXORS. 

The  great  centennial  national  Guberna- 
torial excursion  has  actually  begun.  The 
premonitory  music  was  not,  after  all,  the 
only  part  of  the  show  which  was  real.  To 
be  sure,  the  States  represented  are  not 
numerous,  and  it  is  noticeable  that  the 
yoimger  States  are  the  most  prompt  in  their 
response  to  the  invitation.  Young  people 
sUways  accept  with  alacrity  an  invitation 
card,  which  a  wary  old  diner-out 
turns  over  with  caution,  msmy 
times,  before  making  up  his  mind. 
Nebraska,  Colorado,  and  Kansas  have 
seats  at  the  table,  t)ut  Massachusetts,  New- 
York,  Virginia  and  a  few  more  of  the  "old 
families  "  do  not  appear  among  the  guests. 
But  the  makers  of  the  feast,  whoever  they, 
may  be,  need  not  be  particular.  A  Gov- 
ernor is  a  Governor,  wherever  hemay^ail 
from,  and  the  new  Governors  of  the  new 
States  have  just  as  big  a  handle  to  their 
names  as  the  oldest  and  most  dis- 
tinguished of  the  lot.  And,  as  long 
as'  this  is  a  particularly  siriall  lot,  even 
Governors  of  Territories  are  made  welcome. 
We  observe  that  Gov.  Axtell,  of  New- 
Mexico,  for  example,  is  not  only  well  to  the 
front,  but  he  is  doing  all  the  talking  of  the 
visitors,  and  very  well  he  is  doing  it,  too. 
In  Congress,  a  TerKt«rial  delegate  is  called 
a  "  tadpole "  Congressman.  He  has  a 
tongue,  but  'no  yxite  ;  he  can  make  speeches, 
but  he  has  no  influence.  Gov.  Astell,  who 
has  boxed  the  political  compass  with  com- 
mendable industry  and  great  sueeess,"^  was 
Governor  o^  Utah  once,  and  once  was  a 
Democratic  Representative  in  Congress 
from  California.  As  Governor  of  New-Mex- 
ico, he  stands  a  good  chance  of  being 
United  States  Senator  should  Congress  ever 
be  induced  to  grant  an  enabling  act  to  the 
vaqueros  and  horned  toads  of  that  delight- 
ful Territory.  The  Gubernatorial  excursion 
will  give  the  New-Mexicans  an  opportunity 
of  seeing  what  a  ready  orator  they  have  for 
Governor. 

Up  to  this  time  the  Governors  have  eon- 
tented  themselves  with  a  visit  to  the  "  Per- 
manent "  Exhibition,  as  the  Philadelphians 
fondliterm  their  s^ow.  and  with  receptions 
of  various  degrees  of  formality,  judiciously 
mingled  with  "speeches  by  Gov.  Axtell. 
Next  week,  having  exhausted  the  attractions 
of  the  Permanent  Exhibition,  and  of  the 
City  of  Philadelphia,  the  Governors  will  take 
New- York  on  their  way  to  the-White  Mount- 
ains. The  Chamber  of  Commerce  will  re- 
ceive the'OmTfruors  and  do  the  fair  thing 
by  them  while  they  stay  All  distinguished 
strangers  are  treated  alike  in  New-York. 
The  programme  does  not  vary.  It  is  Cen- 
tral Park,  City  institutions,  and  dinner. 
Sometimes,  to  be  sure,  it  is  City  institu- 
tions. Central  Park,  anSdinner,  and  when 
we  entertain  a  veiy  greaf  swell,  like  the 
Grand  Duke  Alexis  or  the  Win?l  of  Wales, 
for  example,  we  give  him  ^  ball  and  let  him 
dance  with  the  wife  of  somS^  eminent 
chair-maker.  But  this  is  not  a  good 
season  of  the  year  ^r  balls.  A  visit 
to  the  City  alms-honses,  lunatic  asylums, 
and  houses  of  correction,  with  a  collation 
on  the  steamer,  will  re*Uy  be  »boat-aU  that 


add  to  this  enlivening  treat  a.  speech  from 
the  genial  Commissixxter  Bailey,  and  one 
from  the  patient  and  long-suffering  iS&ysg 
Ely,  the  sacred  obligations  of  hospitality- 
would  be  amply  fulfilled.  Of  cotirse,  we 
should  provide  a  band  of-  music  and  an  op- 
portunity for  the  Governor  of  New-Mexico 
to  make  a  few  remarks,  without  which  no 
Gubernatorial  family  party  would  be  com- 
plete. 

But,  in  addition  to  all  this,  a  lisit  to  the 
Central  Park  is  contemplateife-  TJje  Gov- 
ernors will  be  received  by  Presiient  Mar- 
tin, who,  in  a  neat  speech,  (to  be  responded 
to  by  the  Governor  of  New-Mexico,)  will 
inform  them  that  he  cannot  adequately  ex- 
press his  feelings,  as  the  appropria- 
tion for  that  purpose  was  long 
since  exhausted.  _  But  the  Govern- 
ors, we  are  confident,  will  enjoy  a 
visit  to  the  monkey-house,  will  gazWon  the 
infant  lions  with  affectionate  interest,  and 
pause  in  silent  wonder  before  the  brazen 
effigy  of  Fitz  Greene  Halleck  aflicted  with 
a  poetic  fit  and  a  stiff  neck.  "They  may 
also  ride  on  the  donkeys  frpm  the  Arch 
Bridge  to  the  bust  of  Schiller  for  the 
mo4erate  price  of  five  cenfe.  These  inex- 
pensive but  substantial  joys  may  be  made 
to  round  out  a  full  day.  But,  in  addition 
to  these,  we  have  njany  other  pleas 
ures  to  offer  our  visitors,  and  all  are  pecu- 
liarly our  own.  Should  the  south-east  wind 
blow  softly,  the  Governors  should  by  all 
means  be  taken  into  that  portion  of  the  City 
which  lies  below  Murray  Hill,  above  Union- 
square,  and  between  East  Ei\%r  and  the 
centre  of  the  City.  If  they  do  not  go  home 
convinced  that  the  atmosphere  of  New- 
York  is  impregnated  with  asafoetida 
and  coal-tar  it  will  be  because  the 
Himter's  Point- works'have  ceased  to  emit 
their  usual  perfumes.  The  Governors,  too, 
would  get  some  hints  in  the  art  of  how  not 
to  do  it,  if  shown  the  unfinished  fountain  in 
Union-square ;  the  dry  and  incomplete  ba- 
sins which,  for  these  many  years,  have  dis- 
placed the  pretty»  water- works  we  used  to 
admire  in  Madison-square,  aud  the'  piles  of 
granite  blocks  which  have  so  long  Farri-" 
eaded  the  streets  between  Broadway  and 
West  Broadway  ever  since  Mr.  Campbell's 
men  were  ' '  going  to  pave  "  those  thorough- 
fares,. A  glimpse  at  our  modest  Court-, 
house  will  be  a  genuine  ^surprise.  Let  the 
Governors  look  at  it,  be  asked  to  guess  how 
much  it  cost,  and  be  sent  aw^y  appalled 
with  the  size  of  the  figures  when  they  have 
vainly  guessed  far  up  into  millions  of  dol- 
lars. Mayor  :Ely  has  kindly>)ffered  the 
Governors  a  look  into  the  Governor's  Boom. 
If  he.  could  contrive  to  include  Controller 
Kellt  in  the  sight,  our  visitors  would  see 
all  the  City  Government  at  a  glance. 

The  Governors  scarcely  need 'be  told  that 
New- York  is  a  very  naughty  place.  The 
Governors  from  thedistant  States  and  Terri- 
tories, however,  mayjietknow  it  unless  they 
read  the  Western  newspapers,  the  New- York 
correspondents  of  whichdo  sometimes  refer  to 
our  wickedness.'  It  will  be  well  for  the  Gov- 
ernors to  keep.indo6r3  after  dark.  Our  model 
Police  are  suspicious  of  late  travelers,  and 
they  pride  themselves  on  being  "  moighty 
handy  with  the  club,  ei^tirely."  Green- 
looking  young  men  who  have  found  a 
pocket-book  and  are  willing  to  turn  it  over 
to  the  stranger  for  five  d^iars,  should  be 
shunned.  The  ingenuoiii  gentleman  who 
hails  the  Governor  by  his  own  proper  name, 
asks  him  when  he  came  tj^town,  and  if  he 
would  like  to  go  and  see  "  a  nice  little 
ganle,"  is  also  to  be  avoided^  'rhe 
man  who  wants  change  for  a  doUar  bill 
while  he  goes  into  a  drug  store  to  buy  a 
box  of  pills  for  his  dying  parent  is  not  al- 
ways to  be  trusted.  And  we  presume  that 
it  is  not  necessary  to  tell  even  a  visiting 
Governor  that  he  will  not  be  allowed  to  go 
in  swimming  off  the  dock  until  after  dark, 
and  not  then  unless  satisfactory  proof  is 
offered  that  he  is  under  ten  years  of  age. 
With  these  friendly  admonitions  our  fellow- 
citizens,  we  are  confident.  Will  unite  in  a 
general  chorus  of  welcome.  Governors, 
Princes,  Grand  Dukes,  and  all  such  func- 
tionaiies  and  potentates  are  familiar  to  us. 
We  are  accustomed  to  the  grand  style  ;  and 
we  have  one  hundred  practiced  orators  who 
who  can  nobly  supplement  our  mode^ 
gratulation  with  as  ready  a  flow  of  language 
as  anybody  from  New-Mexico. 


-      -^EPUBLICAXmH  IN  FEAXCE. 

The  text  of  the  speech  of  M.  Gambetta 
at  Lille  fails  to  disclose  any  more  indication 
than  was  .contained  in  the  tele'graphie  ab- 
stract, of  the  grounds  for  the  legal  prosecu- 
tion to  which  it  is  reported  that  the  Gov- 
ernment intends  to  subject  its  author. 
Judged  by  any  of  the  standards  which  it  is 
customary  to  apply  to  political  diseussjon 
in  countries  where  political  discussion  is  re- 
garded as  a  legitimate  part  of.  the  process  t>f 
free  government,  the  address  was  not  only 
moderate  but  eoriservatJve.  Indeed,"  it 
bears  marks  throughout  <St*M.  Gambetta'S 
consciousness  that  the  '  Government  was 
eager  to  find  in  his  course  some  plausible 
excuse  for  its  extreme  repressive  measures. 
From  the  opening  yof  the  electoral  campaign 
the  Govermneot  has  resorted  to  every  de- 
vice to^rovoke  the  Bepublican  chief  to 
some  imprudent  threat,  to  s.ome  angry  re- 
tort, to  some  passionate  appeal  to  the  fiery 
feelings  of  his  party,  the  springs  of  which 
he  knows  so  well  How  to  touch.  Anything 
.Uke  a  violent  response  from  Gamb.etta  to 
these  provocations  of  the  Fourtou  Cabinet 
would  have  been  a  godsend  to  the  coali- 
tion, and  the  ex-Dictator  appears  to  have 
perceived  this  fact  quite'  clearly  enough  to 
keep  himself  within  the  bounds  of  pru- 
dence. During  the  debate  on  the  dissolu- 
tion the  temper  of  the  Bonapartists,  espe- 
cially toward  Gambetta,  was  plainly 
shown.  M.  e  De  Cassagkac,  partic- 
ularly, look  upon  himself  the  part  of  the 
ehulo  in  the'  btt^figh^,  and  flung  in  the 
speaker's  facera  succession  of  the  most  out- 
rageous Jtannts  and  epithets,  and  when  Gam- 
betta indicated  M^ -Thiers  as  the  successor 
whom  the  Bepublicans  would  choose,  if  need 
be,  for  the  Martial's  place,  the  Bonapartists 
rose  in  a  crowd  and  cried  out  that  it  was 
not  Thiers  but  Gambetta  himself  who 
must,  if  any  one  did,  foUow  MacMahon. 
Since  that  moment,  the  coalitionists  have 
lost  no  opportunity  to  indicate  M.,  Gam- 
betta as  the  real  Bepublican  chief,  between 
whom  and  the  present  President  at  the  neit 
election  the  people  must  choose.  Probably 
the  controlling  motive  .of  the  prosecution 
now  announced  is  to  emphasize  M.  Gam- 
betta's  importance  and  to  impress  the  peo- 
ple with  his  commanding  position. 

But  such  a  movement  cani^nly.  succeed  by 
aiexakef  a^ -dMnterste^-ijeddewMM  of- t&tf; 


tmth  on  the  part  of  the  Government  and  by 
an  inconceivable  blindness  on  the  part  of 
the  people.  If  Gajcbetta  be  really  the 
le&der  of  the  Bepublican  Party,  and  if  it  be 
on  his .  shoulders  thkt  the  mantle  of  H. 
Thiers  is  to  fall— provided  that  tough  old 
statesman  ever  surrenders  it — ^the  new  leader 
has  done  everything  in  his  power  to  con- 
vince the  cotmtry  that  he  will  nse  his  position 
with  wisdom,  and  that  the  mantle  of  Thiers 
will  not  bewom  amissiby  him.  His  refer- 
ence to'the  use  which  the  EepubUctuas  will 
make  of  victory  is  a  significant  evidence  of 
the  moderation  of  his  views.  He  said  at 
Lille:    -- 

"  It  tuu  been  justly  said  tliat  It  is  above  all  in  an 
industrious  -  and  populous  demociatio  community 
that  the  law  ought  toitw  an  object  of  religious  respeot 
and  reverence.  Kothing  is  more  dangerous,  more 
comiptinK,  than  to  seethe  iaw  made  the  evil  instru- 
-ment  of  party  jealousiea  and  party  passions,  when, 
under  cover  of  the  Constitution  perverted  and 
abased,  hatred  and  bitterness  are  sown,  and  the 
spirit  of  SD^r  and  retalution— the  worst  thing  possi- 
ble in  politics — is  encourf^ed.  Then  on  the  morrow 
of  the  struggi^  we  find  ourselves  in  the  presence  of 
implacable  transports  of  passion  rendered  blind  by 
injustice,  and  we  are  aslced  with  some  show  of 
reason  to  render  justice  which  is  very  like  reven^re. 
That  'is,  bad,  gentlemen,  bad  for  every  one.  "VVe 
must  ttanish  this  word  '  retaliation '  from  our  po- 
litical language  and  replace  it  by  clemency  and  jus- 
tice." 

These  are  the  words  of  a  man  of  modera- 
tion anfl  good  sense,  and  show  plainly 
enough  that  the  Government  has  misrepre- 
sented M.  Gambetta'S  spirit  in  selecting 
this  speech  as  the  pretext  for  prosecution. 
It  is  not  singular  that  the  Government 
should. have  concluded,  as  is  reported,  to 
forbid  the  publication  of  any  reports  of  the 
trial  when  it  comes  on. 

But  Bepublicanism  in  France  cannot  be 
trodden -out  in  this  fashion.  The  Govern- 
nSJnt  may  use  its  great  powers  to  repress  dis- 
cussion and  pervert  the  truth,  as  it  has 
done  ;  it  may  stop  the  circulation  of  papers, 
silence  general  debate,  and  pursue  with 
legal  prosecution  the  orators  of  the  Bepub- 
lican Party  ;  but  It  cannot  hide  the  obvious 
and  all-importanf  fact  that  the  disorder 
against  which  it  claims  to  be  defending  so- 
ciety does  not  exist.  The  De  Fourtou 
Cabinet  has  set  out  to  repress  the 
attacks  which  they  say  the  Bepubli- 
cans are  making  upon  the  principles  of 
social  order,  but  it  can  give  no  evidence 
that  the  attacks  have  been  or  ax&  to  be 
made.  Don  Quixote,  charging  on  the  wind- 
mills, was  "S  sane  and  courageous  warrior 
compared  to  these  pretended  defenders  of  a,- 
cause  which  is  not  assailed  ;  these  valiant 
opponents  of  a  foe  which  cruelly  refuses  to 
appear.  The  Spanish  knight  at  least  be- 
lieved in  the  reality  of  his  enemies,  but  De 
Fourtou  and  his  fellow-swashbucklers  are 
trying  to  trick  the  country  into  sustaining 
them  in  repelling  not  imaginary  but  pre- 
tended assaults.  This  fact  becomes  more 
and  more  evident  every  day,  and  the  policy 
of  the  Bepublicans  is  merely  to  keep  quiet 
and  let  the  country  see  for  itself  how  ficti- 
tious are  the  causes  of  altan  which  the- 
Government  alleges. 

The  conclusion  of  M.  Gambetta'S  speech, 
which  was  sent  by  cable  some  days  since, 
is  more  explicit  and  more  moderate  than  the 
dispatch  indicated.  He  said,  referring  to 
the  rumor  that  Marshal  MacMahon  would 
not  pay  any  attention  to  an  unfavorable 
verdict  in  th'e  elections : 

'•  These  things  are  said,  or,  i&ther.  hinted,  in  vain 
with  the  hope  of  reanimating  the  failing  courage  of 
the  auxiliaries  of  the  Cabinet,  and  of  thus  ssatcliing 
victory  ;  they  are  things  that  may  be  said,  on  going 
into  battle,  but,  on  returning,  when  the  fate  of  their 
cause  is  decided,  it  is  different,  ^ut  why  do  1  say 
fate  ?  .  When  the  sole  anthority  before  wtiich  all

There  is  nothing  in  this  which  has  not  been

of  prosecution  wien  repeated  by  M.  Gambet- 
ta can  only  be  to  give  to  that  gentleman  a 
factitious  consequence  and  to  lend  color  to 
the  charge  that  it  is  he  who  threatens  the 
disorders  which  the  Government  alone  can 
control.  But  the  r61e  of  the  GovemmeBt,

.gr^i  PSOGSESS. 

There  i^rfio"  study  more  pleasing  to  the 
philosophic  mind  than  that  of  the  origin  and 
development  of  all  sorts  of  things.  There 
is  the  .banking  system,  for  instance ;  or  the 
game  of-  mimible-the-peg.  'What  ean  be 
more  delightful  than  to  trace,  with  Mr. 
Buckle,  the  slow  growth  of  either  of  these 
great  institutions  from  their  first  germs  to 
their  present  vastness  and  importance.  It 
is  remarkable  that  neither  Mr.  Buckle  nor 
any  other  philosopher  has  paid  any  atten- 
tion to  the  female  bathing-dress,  which  is 
unquestionably  a  subject  that  oomes  home 
to  all  styles  of  bosoms,  and  that  deserves 
th€  most  careful  and  thorough  treatment. 
With9ut  the  female  bathing-dress,  the  ocean 
would  be  a  failure,  and  the  sea-beach  a 
desolate  wilderness  with  no  one  to  howl 
therein.  \ 

In  the  develoEjaenrbf  the  female  bath- 
ing-dress niBphilosophic  investigator^ill 
recognize  the  existence  of  two  distinct  pe- 
riods, which  may  be  called  respectively  the 
negro  minstrel  period  and  the  opera  booffe . 
period.  As  the  opera  bouffe  is  essentiallyf 
a  burlesque  of  the  full-dress  opera,  so  ne- 
gro minstrelsy  is  really  a  burlesque  of  the 
opera  bouffe,  althoi^h  -ia  point  of  time  it 
preceded  the  latter.  If  we  regard  tho  fe- 
male bathing-dress  as  an  entertainment — and 
it  certainly  is  entitled  to  rank  amongthe  best 
of  our  free  moral  entertainments — we  can 
readily  perceive  that  at  its  two  periods  it 
has  borne  much  the  same  relation  to  full 
dress  as  negro  minstrelsy  and  opera  bouffe 
bear  respectivelyvto  g^nd  opera.  During 
its  negro  minstrelsy  period,  from  which  it 
is  just  now  emerging,  the  female  bathing- 
dress  was  the  coarsest  of  burlesque.  As 
it  enters  the  opera  bouffe  period  it  substi- 
tutes beauty--for  eccentricity  and  stAtle 
satirg'fbr  broad  and  siniple  humor.  De- 
cidedly this  is  progress,  and  as  such  it  fills 
the  philosophic  mind  with  a  calm  sense  of 
satisfaction.  , 

The  primitive  form  of  the  bathing-dress 
was  a  large,  loose  flannel  gown,  which  en- 
velope4tliei  whole  figure — when  the  wearer 
was  on  dry  land — and  reached  below  her 
ankles.;..  At  that  tisie  jpntdary  oompounded  J

hy  the  exigenoies  of  a  surf  toilet,  by  mak- 
ing the  moist  female  form  as  ugly  as  possi- 
ble— just  as  certain  eminent  female  saint* 
are  said  to  have  disfigured  their  faces  in 
order  to'  turn  their  thoughts  from  earthly 
vanities.  In  this  respect  the  flannel  gown 
was  s  complete  success,  since  had  Venus 
herself  risen  from  the  ocean  arrayed  in  a 
bathing-gown,  she  would  have  been  mis- 
taken for  the  grandmother  of  the  gods. 
Nevertheless,  it  had  one  conspicuous  faijlt. 
■Wien  in  the  water  it  had  a  way  of  expand- 
ing and  floating  to  the  surface,  whereby  the 
wearer  was  made  to  resemble  a  blue  cotton 
umbrella  with  a  curiously-carved  ivory 
handle.  For  this  reason,  it  gradually  fell 
into  disrepute,  lAd  is  now  met  only  on  re- 
mote New-England  benches,  where  it-  is 
still  occasionally  worn  by  angular  school- 
teachers who  desire  to  strike  terror  into 
casual  sharks. 

The  gown  was,  succeeded  by  the  blue  flan> 
nel  blouse  and"*trotisers,  the  most  prom- 
inent fact  in  connection  with  which  was 
theii- excessive  ugliness.  They  had,  moreover, 
the  disadvantage  of  being  extremely  heavy 
when  thoroughly  water-soaked.  As  the  un- 
fortunate bather  walked  from  the  surf  to 
her  bathing-houSe  her  heavy,  sand-laden 
skirt  smote  against  her  ankles  with  every 
step,  as  if  nature  bore  her  a  grudge  for  ven- 
turing to  take  liberties  with  the  venerable 
ocean.  In  fact,  the  dress  was  as  uncom- 
fortable as  it  was  ugly,  and  even  had  it 
been  made  of  some  material  lighter  a'ad 
more  fitted  for  the  purpose  than  flannel — 
such,  for  instance,  as  sheet-lead  or  Brussels 
carpeting — it  would  still  have  been  heavy 
and  awkward.  Nevertheless,  strict  veracity 
compels  the  admission  that  at  rare  inter- 
vals beauty  actually  "triumphed  over  the 
bathing-dress,  and  at  every  sea-beach  le- 
gends yet  survive  of  some  miraculous  wom 
an  who  was  beautiful  in  spite  of  fianne. 
blouse  and  trousers. 

The  brilliant  discovery  that  a  woma^ 
coiild  bathe  without  making  herself  hideous 
was  made  by  the  ingenious  women  of 
France — ^the  home  of  the  opera  'bouffe.  Un- 
doubtedly the  style  of  dress  which  prevails 
on  the  opera-bouffe  stage  suggested  the  pat- 
tern of  bathing-dress  which  has  this  season 
become  popular  at  Long  Branch  and  New- 
port, and  which  marks  the  beginning  of  a, 
new  period  in  bathing-dresses.  The  blouse 
has  been  superseded  by  a  short-sleeved  and 
low-necked  garment  closely  fitted  about  a 
perforated  corset — ^whatever  that  may  be. 
The  trousers  have  given  place  ti^what  may 
be  described  as  knickerbockers,  supple- 
mented with  stockings  of  dazzling  splendor, 
and  an  additional  garment,  which  is  somS* 
thing  between  a  short  skirt  and  a  broad  rib- 
bon, encirbles  the  waist.  The  dress  is  com- 
pleted by  a  pair  of  canvas  shoes  and  a 
dainty  hat,  and  instead  of  transforming  a 
Venus  into  a  burlesqued  Minerva,  it  justifies 
the  plainest  woman  in  inviting  the  kisses 
of  the  sea.  That  it  will-not  only  drive  out 
the  blouse  and  trousers,  but  utterlj 
banish  their  preposterous  memory,  may  b« 
safely  assumed.  It  fulfills  all  the  condition: 
of  an  ideal  bathing-dress,  and  aoenturyhenc* 
p'ainters,  instesd^f  representing  angels  a: 
winged  women  in^cambric  dressing-gowns, 
will  paint  them  in  h^athing-dresses,  passing 
over  the  waves  like  a  new  species  of  aquatic 
butterflies. 

Thus  we  see  that  in  one  of  the  most  im. 
portant  departments  of  civilization  substan- 
tial progress-has  been  made.  No  man  can 
trace  the  development  of  the  bathingdiress, 
from  the  original  blue  gown  to  the  gorgeous 
opera  bouffe  garments  that  glorify  the  Long 
Branch  breakers,  without  tears  of  gratitude. 
'What  if  the  Turks  and  Buasians  are  mur- 
dering each  other  by  thousands,  we  have 
entered  a  new  period  of  bathilig-dresses, 
and,  inspired  by  the  knowledge  of  thai 
blessed  fact,  we  can  dismiss  all  minor  anc 
vexations  matters  from  our  minds.

WASBDtGTOJJ,  Aug.  29.— The  attitude  of 
JTaval  Officer  Cornell  with  reference  to  the  Pres- 
ident's civU  service  order  has  attracted  genend 
attention,  and  there  is  considerable  speculation 
as  to  the  action  of  the  President.  The  general 
Impression  is  that  Mr.  Cornell  has  acted  with 
deQbeiation  and  after consoltation  with  friends, 
■°<1  that  his  piirpose  Is  to  invite  an  issoe 
with  the  President  on  this  question.  It 
Is  imiversally  admitted  that  Mr.  Coinell,  in 
acting  with  the  RepuDlican  ExecutiTe  Commit- 
tee, has  intentionally  defied  the  President,  and 
from  the  determination  expressed  by  the  Presi- 
dent immediately  following  the  issuance  of  the 
;ivil  service  circular,  no  doubt  is  Entertained 
that  Mr.  Cornell  will  be  requested  to  resign 
his  Custom-house  position,  and,  refusing  to  do 
so,  will  be  removed.  It  is  not  likely,  however, 
that  anything  will  be  done  in.  the  matter  until 
after  the  return  of  Secretary  Evarts,  when  siich 
changes  as  are  to  be  made  in  the  New- 
Yorlc  Custom-house  may  be  finally  determined. 
A  report  has  been  circulated  that  Elliot  C.  Cow- 
din  is  to  succeed  Collector  Arthur,  but  there 
is  the  highest  authority  for  staling  that  Mr. 
Cowdin  has  not  been  considered  in  this  con- 
nection, and  is  not  likely  to  be  so  considered.

fHACDCLENT  OPERATIONS    OP    REVENDE  OF- 
FICIALS   C-  NORTH    CAROLINA — THE  RE- 
CENT ARRESTS. 

■Washington,  Aug.  29. — ^With  regard  to 
the  recent  arrests  of  officials  and  others  in 
North  Caiolina,\forpresenting  fraudulent  claims 
to  the  Internal  i?evenue  office,  the  statement  is 
made  by  a  prominent  officer  of  the  service  that 
some  time  ago  the  Commissioner  of  Internal 
Revenue  became  suspicious  .that  the  large  num- 
ber of  claims  for  inf ormer's  reward,  under  his 
circular  of  March  10,  1875,  allowing  $50  in 
each  case  for  information  which  would  lead  to 
th&  seizure  of  an  illicit  still,  and  arrest  and 
holding  to  baU  of  its  operator,  which  were  being 
received  at  the  Denartment  from  western  North 
Caorolina,  were  either  fictitious  or  at  least  based 
on  very  doubtful  grounds.  In  consequence  of 
this  suspicion  a  number  were  referred  to  Agent 
Wagner  for  investigation,  the  result  of  which 
was  the  unearthing  of  a  regular  and  well-laid 
conspiracy  to  defraud  the  Government  In- 
volved in  this  scheme  were  several 
revenue  officers  «iid  Deputy  Marshals, 
and  a  United  States  Commissioner. 
Being  familiar  with  the  records  of  the  court 
and  tlK!  Collector's  office,  the  parties  adroitly 
made  up  claims  to  represent  the  seizure  of 
many  stills  and  the  arrest  of  numerous  dis-" 
tillers,  and  then  finding  a  willing  tool  to  repre- 
sent the  claimant,  they  imposed  on  District 
Attorney  Lusk  by  false  representations,  and 
thereby  proctired  his  certificate  to  the  correct- 
ness of  the  claims,  after  having  through  some 
means  obtained  also  the  certificate  of  the  late 
(>)llector  Pinkney  Kollins,  in  whose  district  the 
claims  originated,  mainly  to  the  same  effect, 
^veral  of  these  claims  aere  paid  by  the  depart- 
ment before  suspicion^as  aroused,  but  the 
bulk  of  them  have  been  estopped.  In  conse- 
quence of  the  report  on  the  investigation,  Gen. 
Raum  directed  that  prosecution  be  commencedT 
against  the  officers  chiefly  interested  in  the 
consniracy,  and  a  hearing  was  had  at  Morgan- 
ton.  N.  C.  on  the  22d  and  23d  inst  before  a 
United  States  Comjmissioner,  who  held  to  boil 
Waiiam  H.  Deaver,  Deputy  Marshal,  and 
Deputy  Collector  Joseph  W.  Green,  United 
States  Commissionei,  and  J.  A.  Green  the  prin- 
cipal claimant. 

ABMY  AND  NAVY  MATTERS., 


■Washington,  Aug.  29.— The  Secretary 
of  War  this  morning  issued  an  order  directing 
that  vmtil  further  orders  the  War  Department 
and  its  bureaus  be  closed  at  3  o'clock  daily,  in- 
stead of  4  o'clock  as  heretofore. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Navy,-8ome  weeks  ago, 
issued  an  order  allowing  the  clerks  in  that  de- 
partment to  leave  their  desks  during  the  warm 
weather  at  3  o'clock  P.  M. 

The  Navy  Department  has  received  informa- 
tion to  the  effect  that  the  United  States  steamer 
Bangerwas  at  Point  DeGalleon  the  18th  of  July, 
■  en  rente  to  China.  The  United  States  steamer 
Richmond,  late  fiag-ship  of  the  South  Atlantic 
Squadron,  left  Hampton  Roads  yesterday 
for  Boston,  where  she  will  go  out 
of  commission.  The  sailing  vessel  Ge- 
rard, now  being  fitted  out  at  the 
New^Tork  Xavy-yard,  will  sail  from  that  port 
about  the  1st  of  October  for  Lisbon,  from  which 
point  she  will  begin  her  operations  toward  con- 
necting the  longitude  <A  certain  points.  The 
vessel  will  be  commanded  byLieut.-Commander 
F.  M.  Greene,  and  will-sail  from  Lisbon  to  con- 
nect the  longitude  of  the  Madeira  Islands,  the 
Canaries,  and  the  Cape  Verde  Islands  with  the 
coast  of  Brazil.  She  will  also  connect  the  lon- 
gitude of  Montevideo  and  Buenos  Ayres,  which 
will  enable  us  to  connect  the  longitude  of  the 
west  coast  of  South  America  at  a  convenient 
time.  The  vessel  will  then  connect  the  longi- 
tude of  Pemambuco  .with  the  north  coast  of 
Brazil  and  with  the  Island  of  Trinidad,  which 
was  determined  by  the  same  officer  a  year  or 
two  ago.  This  expedition  will  complete  the  cir- 
cuit of  determination  between  Europe  and 
America,  and  will  verify  both  lines  of  determina- 
tion.

Washingto*.,  Aug.  29. — Chief-Justice 
Cartter,  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  District 
of  Colimibia,  says  it  is  not  true,  as  published, 
that  he  has  made  up  his  mind  to  refuse  to 
honor  a  requisition  from  Qlov.  Hampton  in  case 
the  latter  shotild  call  upon  him  for  the  arrest 
of  Cardoza  and  other  South  Carolina  Repub- 
licans, now  in  Washington,  who  are  said  tohave 
been  indicted  by  a  Democratic  Grand  Jury  in 
that  State.  Judge  Cartter  says  that  he  has  not 
thought  about  the  matter,  and  will  not  give  it 
any  consideration  until  it  becomes  necessary 
for  him  to  do  so.  In  that  case  he  will  proba- 
blv  consult  the  President,  who  can  very  soon 
tell  him  whether  or  not  Hampton  has  been  rec- 
ognized as  the  legal  Governor  of  the  State.

longed indefinitely.  Chief  Clerk  Galpin, 
against  whom  the  charges  were  originally  filed, 
has  examined  the  testimony  and  has  notiSed 
Secretary  Schurz  of-  his  desire  to  cross-examine 
all  the  witnesses  who  have  testified,  and  call 
others  in  his  defense,  and  he  will  be  allowed 
this  privilege.  Many  other  persons  who  are 
alleged  to  have  been  involved  in  frauds  are 
also  to  be  given  similar  opportunities  to  defend 
themselves.

Baltimore,  lid.,  Aug.  29. — Facts  have 

been  developed  to-day  in  -regard  to  the  defalca- 
tionsin  the  Norfolk  Custom-house,  for  the  par- 
ticipation in  which  Deputy  Collector  Getteleich 
is  now  tmder  arrest  here.  Getteleich  and 
Henry  Miller,  Cashier  of  Customs,  had  a  system 
of  complicity  by  which  they  would  receive  the 
duties  on  a  cargo  of  goods,  then  destroy  the 
papers,  pocket  the  money,  and  report  the  vessel 
as  having  arrived  in  ballast.  As  the  accounts 
were  destroyed,  there  is  no  way  of  posi- 
tively arri-i:ing  at  an  estimate  of  the 
frauds,  but  Mr.  Negley,  United  States 
Sub-Treasurer  at  Baltimore,  -with  whom 
the  Norfolk  Custom-house  deposited,  estimates 
the  total  at  $30, 000.  The  first  trace  of  the  frauds 
was  discovered  in  this  wise :  A  vessel  from 
Liverpool,  -with  a  cargo  of  salt  for  Norfolk,  was 
disabled  at  sea  and  put  into  Savannah  for  re- 
pairs. On  leaving  Savannah  she  was  bonded  to 
return  to  the  Collector  there  a  landing  certifi- 
cate. She  proceeded  to  Norfolk  and  discharged 
her  cargo,  but  no  certificate  was  ever  received 
at  Savannah.  Special  Treasury  Agent  Ayres 
was  detailed  to  make  an  investigation,  and  found 
that  the  vessel  was  recorded  at  the  Nor- 
folk Custom-house  as  having  entered  in  ballast, 
the  import  duties  having  been  appropriated  by 
Getteleich  and  Miller.  This  led  to  further  ex- 
amination, and  the  whole  rottenness  was  tincov- 
ered.  The  appointment  of  Miller  was  forced 
upon  the  late  Collector,  Luther  S.  Lee,  of  Nor- 
folk, who  died  recently,  by  his  bondsmen.  Get- 
teleich was  turned  out  of  office  a  few  weeks  ago 
by  Lee's  successor,  and  is  still  in  jail  here.

SUIT  FOR  DAMAGES  FOE  SLANDERS  BT  PO- 
LICE JUDGE  GRAFF  AGAINST  POLICE  MAR- 
SHAL  GRAT. 

Special  Dispatch  to  the  Netc-York  Time*. 

Baltimore,  Md. ,  Aug.  29. — Police  Jus- 
tice Graff,  of  the  Central  Station,  to-day  insti- 
tuted a  suit  claiming  $20,000  damages  for  slan- 
der against  Police  3Iarshal  Gray.  The  -  action 
grows  out  of  a  quarrel  between  the  committing 
magistrates  and  Police  Department  that  has 
been  fomenting  for  some  time  past.  Until  the 
law  of  1876  was  passed,  the  Police  Justices 
were  paid  by  fees,  and  great  corruption  grew 
out  of  the  system.  The  new  law,  gave  them 
fixed  salaries,  and  forbade  them  to  make  any 
extra  charges.  In  face  uf  this  prohibition, 
Graff  has  been  charging  arrested  persons 
for  releasing  them  or  hearing  their  cases  after 
hours  of  holding'  court,  and  the  Police  Depart- 
ment has  therefore  accused  him  of  malversa- 
tion in  office.  The  department  also  complains 
that  he  interferes  with  their  work  of  repressing 
crime,  by  discharging  criminals  without  allow- 
ing evidence  against  them  to  have-"^  proper 
weight ;  and  in  several  cases  it  has  procured 
their  rearrest  by  authority  of  a  higher  court. 
The  magistrate  says  that  it  is  his  business  to  in- 
terpret the  law,  and  that  the  Police  infringe 
upon  his  jurisdiction.  With  regard  to  the  fees, 
his  defense  is  that  he  does  not  charge  for  hear- 
ing cases,  but  for  leaving  his  home  at  all  hours 
of  the  night.  Expressioiis  used  by  Marshal 
Gray,  in  conversation  with  reporters,  are  the 
basis  of  this  suit  for  damages.  It  will  be  called 
up  at  September  term  of  court.

IOWA  DEMOCRATIC  CONTENTION 

THE  GATBERINQ  TESTERDAT  AT  KARSH- 
ALLTO-WN— TILDEN'S  NOMINATION  IN 
1880 — THE  PLATFORM  ADOPTED — ^NOM- 
INATIONS  MADE    FOR   STATE    OFFICERS. 

•  Marshalltown,  Iowa,  Aug.  29. — The 
Democratic  State  Convention  met  this  morning. 
Mr.  J.  C.  Cook,  teinporary  Chairman,  declared 
that  Samuel  J.  Tilden  must  be  vindicated  by 
his  renomlnation  in  1880,  which  -was  received 
with  great  cheering.  After  the  appointment  of 
officers  and  committees  an  adjournment  was 
taken  until  the  afternoon. 

The  convention  reassembled  at  2  P.M.,  re- 
ceived the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Creden- 
tials, and  elected  Hon.  D.  O.  Pinch  permanent 
Chairman.  The  Committee  on  Resolutions  re- 
ported a  platform  as  follows : 

Firtt — The  Democracy  of  Iowa  declare  in  favor  of 


a  tariff  for  revenue  only:  honest  economic  home 
rule :  supremacy  of  the  ci^il  over  the  military  power ; 
separation  of  Church  and  State ;  equality  of  all  citi- 
zens before  the  law :  opposition  to  the  granting  by 
the  General  Qoveminent  of  subsidies  to  any  corpora- 
tion whatever.  „        -%.  -. 

Second — The  destruction  dt  the  industry  of-  the 
country  and  the  pauperism  of  labor  are  the  lne\it- 
able  fruits  oT  the  vicioos  laws  enacted  by  the  Be- 
publlcan  Party. 

Jhird — That  as  a  means  of  relieving  the  distressed 
portion  of  the  community  and  removing  the  great 
stringency  complained  of  in  business  circles  we  de- 
maud  the  immediate  repeal  of  ^e  Specie  Resomptiou 
act. 

Ftnirtk — We  denounce  as  on  outrage  upon  the 
rights  of  the  people  the  enactment  of  the  Republican 
measure  demonetizing  silver,  and  demand  the  pas- 
sage of  a  law  which  shall  restore  to  silver  its  mone- 
tary power. 

J^^ — We  favor  the  retention  of  a  greenback  cnr- 
reccy  and  declare  against  any  further  contraction, 
and  we  favor  substitution  of  greenbacks  for  national 
bonk  bUls. 

Sixth. — We  congratulate  the  ^Jeuntry  upon  the  ac- 
ceptance by  the  present  Admiifij'tratiOTi  of  the  con- 
stftntiotial  and  pacific  policy  of  local  self-govern- 
ment in  the  States  of  the  South,  so  long  advo  cated 
by  the  Democratic  Party,  and  which  .has  brought 
pejkCe  and  harmony  to  that  section. 

Seventh^.  In  regard  to  future  financial  policy,  in  the 
language  of  oar  nlHional  platform  adopted  in  the 
New- York  Convention  of  1808,  we  urge  the  payment 
of  the  public  debt  of  the  United  States  as  rapidly  as 
practicable  all  money  drawn  from  the  people  by 
taxation,  except  so  much  as  is  requisite  for  the  iieceR- 
sities  of  the  Government  economically  administered, 
beins  honestly  applied  to  such  payment  when  due. 

aighth — Equal  taxation  of  every  species  of  proper- 
ty, according  to  its  value. 

yinth — One  currency  for  the  Government  and  peo- 
ple, laborer  and  office-holder,  pensioner  and  soldier, 
the  producer  and  the  bond-holder.  * 

Tenth — The  right  of  a  State  tO"  regulate  railroad 
corporations  having  been  established  by  a  higher 
Court  of  the  country,  we  now  declare  that  this  right 
mu.st  be  exercised  with  due  regard  to  justice 
and  as  there  is  no  necessary  antagonism  between  the 
people  and  these  corporations,  the  common  interest 
of  both  demands  a  speedy  restoration  of  former 
frienly  relations  through  just  legislation  on  one  side 
and  a  cheerful  submission  thereto  on  the  othei . 

Eleventh — The    rights    of    capital    and    labor    are 
equally    sacred   and    entitled  to    legal    protection. 
Capittu  and  labor  have  no  just  cause  of  quarrel,  and  ^ 
their  proper  relations  to  each  other  ale  adjustable^ 
by  natural  laws,   and  should  not  be  hampered  by 
le^slative  interference. 

Twelfth — We  favor  the  repeal  of  the  present  Pro- 
hioitory  Liquor  law  of  this  .State,  and  the  enactment 
of  a  judicious  and  well-regulated  license  law  instead, 
the  money  derived  from  licenses  to  go  to  the  common 
school  fund  of  the  State. 

The  first  ballot  for  Governor  was  taken,  but 
before  the  result  could  be  announced  Irish  was 
declared  the  nominee  by  acclamation.  In  re- 
sponse to  loud  calls,  Mr.  Irish  came  forward  and 
made  a  brief  speech  accepting  the  nomination. 
W.  C.  James,  of  Pattawantaraac,  was  nominated 
for  Lieutenant-Governor  by  acclamation,  and 
H.  E.  J.  Boardman  for  Supreme  Judge  ;  G.  D. 
Cuttison,  of  Wa\*ne  County,  was  declared  the 
nominee  for  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion.

Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Aug.  29. — Recent 
events  in  the  courts  in  this  vicinity'  have 
caused  some  consternation  among  persons  en- 
joying the  luxury  of  Utah  divorces.  Not  long 
since  the  Supreme  Court  of  Indiana  decided  all 
such  divorces  worthless,  and  several  indictments 
for  bigamy  are  hanging  over  the  heads  of  certain 
citizens  of  that  State  who  have  procured  them. 
A  case  of  this  nature,  which  excited  considei" 
able  interest,  has    just    been  decided

In  the 
Criminal  Court  of  Covington.  A  woman 
named  Davis,  who  iiad  parted  from  her  first 
husband  seven  years  ago,  procured  from  a  Cin- 
cinnati divorce 'broker  a  document  bearing  the 
stamp  of  a  Utah  court,  and  on  the  strength 
of  it  she  married  again.  She  was  prosecuted 
for  bigamy,  and  the  court  refused  to  recognize 
the  Utah  decree.  She  was  convicted  and 
sentenced  to  three  years  in  the  penitentiary, 
the  lowest  punishment  allowed  by  law.  Her 
ca«ie  excited  so  much  sympathy  that  members  of 
the  -jury,  officers  of  the  court,  and  many 
prominent  citizens  united  in  a  petitioB  for  her 
pardon.  The  case  derives  special  interest  from 
the  fact  that  Utah  divorces  have  had  a  con- 
siderable run  in  this  -vicinity,  and  numerous 
heads  of  families  find  themselves  is  an  em- 
barrassing situation.

Spedal  Dispatch  to  tAe  Kew-^rli  Times, 

Philadelphia,  Aug.  29.— The  reception 
to  the  Qiivemors  of  the  Slates  to-day  at  the 
Permanent  International  Balding  was  a  com- 
edy of  errors,  and  probably  much  enjoyed  by 
some  of  the  State  Executives  and  roundly 
almsed  by  others.  The  tpoable  lay  in  the  fact 
thi^  with  tbe  exoeption  of  President  Morton, 
of  the  Permanent  Exhibition,  those  having  the 
matter  in  charge  were  ineon^>etent,  never  hav- 
ing risen  to  the  /dignity  of  receiving  a  real 
live  Governor,  aijd  they/stood  around  like 
bashfufi^hoolboys  at  an  evening  party  waiting 
to  be  directed  wha^  should  be  done.  This  affair 
had  been  project^  before  Mr.  Morton  came  into 
the  management  of  the  Exhibition,  and  in  as- 
siuning  the  responsibilities  of  his  position  took 
tbis  unpleasant  task  along  with  the  rest.  That 
he  ac^intted  himself  creditably,  all  the  Gov- 
ernor concurred.  There  were  not  more  than 
O  persons  present,  and  a  large  percentage 
of  tbes^  passed  the  turnstiles  on  invitations. 
The  party  reached  the'  Exhibition  soon  after 
1 1  o'clock,  and  forming  in  procession  walked 
around  the  building.  Those  present  included 
Messrs;  P.  R.  GiUender,  J.  E.  Kingslev,  Joel  J. 
■^Bailey ;  George  B.  Boomer,-  of  Syracuse  ;  Hon. 
D.  J.  Morreil ;  Samuel  C.  Brown,  of  Trenton- 
composing  a  committee  of  citizens,  and  were 
connected  with  the  Exhibitors'  Association  Com- 
mittee. The  invited  guests  were  :  Gov.  Hart-" 
ranft,  of  Pennsylvania,  and  the  following  mem- 
bers of  his  staff  :  Adjt.-Gen.  J.  W.  lAtta,  Gen. 
J.  R.  Cox,  Commissary-General ;  Col.  George 
H.  Xorth,  Col.  R.  R.  Campion,  Col.  D^  Stanley 
Hassinger ;  Signor  D*As^,  of  the  Italian  Com- 
mission to  the  Centennial ;  Hon.  Charles  O'Neil, 
member  of  Congress  from  Philadelphia  ;  Gov. 
Newbold,  of  Iowa ;  Iiieut.-Gov.  H.  W.  Eothert, 
Iowa  ;  C.  S.  Wilson,  Private  Secretary  to  the 
Governor ;  Gov.  Axtell,  of  New-Mexico,  and 
Mr.  M.  T.  Meigs,  Private  Secretary  ;  Gov.  Por-: 
ter,  of  Tennessee  ;  Col.  Trousdale,  Superintend- 
ent of  Public  Instruction  ;  Mr.  Charles  D.  ^r- 
ter,  Private  Secretary  to  the  Governor  ;  Gov. 
Anthony,  of  Kansas,  and  Mr.  Ward  Buriingame ; 
Gov.  Young,  of  Ohio,  .and- Hon.  William  M. 
Clarke.  Secretary  of  ^jiate  of  Colorado. 

Mr.  Morion  c^l^g^ae  assemblage  to  order, 
and  introduced  MrTPeter  B.  Simons,  President 
of  the  Exhibitors'  Association,  who  made  a 
short  address.  "Resident  Morton  followed  in  a 
speech,  detailing  to  the  Governors  information 
concerning  the  new  exhibition.  He  stated  that 
■  there  fwere  now  2.000  exhibitors  from  this 
country  represented,  and  200  exhibitors  from 
foreign  Governments.  fr 

Gov.  Axtell,  of  New-Mexico,  who  had  bee^ 
"l!ho8en  by  the  Governors  to  make  the  opening 
speech,  placed  himself  on  record  on  the  labor 
question,  and  said  that  the  troubles  at  the 
present  time  all  arose  from  the  fact  of  there 
t)eing  too  much  contraction..  ^_Too  much  talk  of 
retrenchment  and  reform,  he  believed,  was  the 
cause  "of  the  prostration  of  the  industries  of  the 
country.  He  maile  a  strong  bid  for  aid  to 
the  Texas  Pacific  Railroad  scheme,  when  he 
said  that  the  attention  of  capital^ts  and  mon- 
eyed men  should  be  drawn  to  opening  new  ave- 
nues of  trade  with  the  .West.  .The  best  thing 
the  Government  and  private"  indi\-iduals  could 
do,  to  his  mind,  would  be  to  make  public  im- 
provements. 

Gov.  Hartranft  followed  next  in  order,  but 
made  no  speech.  H^e  merely  introduced  Gov. 
Porter,  of  Tennessee,  stating  that  he  had  looked 
for  Mr.  Porter  many  times  before  through  a 
field-glass,  and  tb.at,  had  thuy  met  before,  it  was 
probable  one  or  the  other  of  them  would  not  be 
nere  to-day.  They  differed  as  to  the  political 
platforms  they  occupied,  but  he  was  happy  to 
say  they  both  stootl  to-day  on  the  same  plat- 
form, with  uo  uncertain  ilanks  beneath  them. 
He  referred  to  the  elevatioiVthey  occupied,  and 
the  audience  applauded  this  t^ally  of  wit. 

Gov.  Porter  was  introduced,  and  took  ground 
in  his  speech  directly  opposite  to  whaj^ostmas-. 
ter-Gent-ral  Key  represents  as  the  o<mdition  of 
the  people  of  Tennessee.  He  said!  they  have 
ceased  there  to  intiuire  what  is  a  man's  religion, 
irationality,  or  politics.  We  believe  we  were 
honest  in  our  convictions  in  th«  pa.st,  and  are 
liberal  enough  to  acknowledge  that  vou  believed 
you  were.  It  would  be  ver>*  gratifying  to 
people  of  Tennes.'jee  to  know  that  their  Gover- 
nor had  been  r^eived  in  a  Northern  Statdsgp 
the  same  equality  with  other  Governors.  They 
will  take  it  to  them.'^ilves. 

Gov.  Anthouy,  of  Kansas  nindo  a  short 
speech,  while  Gov.  Young,  of  Ohio,  w^jo  did 
not  speak  at'[3^ugth.  had  some  ver>-  pointed  re- 
marks to  malicconceruingtheoijeuing  of  the  ex- 
hibition on  Sunday.  He  warmly  commended 
it,  and  thanked  the  President  of  the  Exhibition 
for  his  action  in  the  matter.  Gov.  Newbold,  of 
Iowa,  and  Secretarv  of  State  Clarke,  of  Nebras- 
ka, made  addresses"  ^o.  ■ 

In  the  afternoon  there  was  a  drill  by  225 
cadets  from  the  Girard  College,  under  the 
charge  of  Capt.  John  W.  Ryan,  of  the  State 
Fencibles.  This  was  finelfi^  executed,  all  the 
Governors  appl^ding  thei^movements  of  the 
boys,  and  declaring  thetr 'nnmiial  of  arms  and 
evolutions  well  executed.  In  the  eveninj;  there 
was  a  grand  concert,  in  which  Miss  Emma 
Thursbv.  Mme.  Tur*^  Carreno.  Signor  L.i  G.

A  WIFE  ASSAULTED  ON  BROADWAY, 


WILLIAM  F.  INGEBSOLL,  THE  ASSAILANT  OF 
**  JIMMY^  HAYES,  ATTACKS  HIS  WIFE  IN 
THE  STREET — HE  IS  ARRESTED  AND 
.  LOCKED  UP — MRS.  INQERSOLL'S  STORT. 
^At  9  o'lcock  last  night  Mrs.  Mary  IngersoU,  of 
No.  26  Clinton-place,  alighted  from  a  Broadway  omni- 
bus at  the  comer  of  CUnton-place.  accompanied  by  a 
lady  friend,  who  had  a  little  child  with  her.  When 
she  reached  the  sidewalk  she  was  very  rudely  ad- 
dressed by  a  man  who  proved  to  he  her  husband, 
William  P.  IngersolL  He  said  to  her.  "Madam. 
I  would  like  to  have  a  few  words  with  you.  to  one 
aide,  please."  She  replied  :  "  I  don't  know  you. 
Sir.  Leave  me  alone."  The  man  then  reached  to 
his  right  hip  pocket  and  rushed  at  her.  Mrs.  Inger- 
soU, with  great  presence  of  mind,  told  her  lady  friend 
to  leave  immediately  if  she  did  not  wish  to  be  to- 
volved  in  a  disgraceful  affair.  Then  she  turned  and 
ran  to  a  pohceman,  who  was  standing  near,  and  be^ed 
for  protection.  Mrs.  IngersoU  prevailed  upon  the  of- 
ficer to  arrest  her  htisband,  but  he  insisted  that  Mrs. 
IngersoU  should  accompany  him  to  the  station-house, 
and  there  make  a  complaint.  While  going  down 
Mercer-street,  on  the  way  to  the  Fifteenth  Precinct 
Station-house,  Mrs.  IngersoU  cried  to  the  officer  that 
the  prisoner  had  thrown  his  knife  down 
the  area-way  of  the  -  building  they  were  passing. 
The  policeman  went  into  the  area-way  and  found  a 
large  sheath -knife,  which  he  took  with  him.  When 
the  trip  reached  the  station-house.  Mrs.  IngersoU  en- 
tered a  complaint  against  her  husband  for  making  an 
attempt  to  take  her  life,  and  told  a  longand  temble 
story  of  the  threats  and  persecutions  to  which  he 
had  for  ,.j&^  long  time  subjected  her.  She 
said  it  wa$-  as  much  as  she  could  do 
to  keep  out*  of  his  way :  that  he  was 
constantly  pursuing  her  and  sending  her  threats  ; 
that  her  life  was  in  constant  danger  at  bis  hands. 
She  also  said  that  last  week  Mr.  IngersoU  told  her 
son  that  he  would  take  her  life  before  the  leaves  fell 
this  FalL  The  prisoner  was  locked  up.  Inger- 
soU is  the  man  who  made  an  assault  upon 
ex-Supervisor  James  Hayes  on  the  evening 
of  July  2.  Mr.  Hayes,  who  had  escorted 
his  foster  sister  to  her  home  in  the  Ninth 
Ward,  was  returning  to  his  own  residence  when  he 
was  met  on  Charlton-street,  between  S'arick  and 
Macdongal.  by  IngersoU.  wlio  savagely  inquired. 
"  Where's  my  wife  "'  Hayes  laughed  at  him,  when 
Inj:ersoll  grabbed  Hayes  by  the  throat.  During  the 
encounter  Hay^p  was  cut  by  IngersoU  upon  the  right 
cheek  and  hand.  After  the  cutting  IngersoU  ran  aWay. 
and  Hayes  pursued  him,  but  the  latter  wzis  stopped 
by  a  friend  and  together  they  went  home  m  a 
carriage.  Mr.  Hayes  did  not  take  any  steps  to  pun- 
ish IngersoU  for  this  assaiilt :  but  IngersoU 
brought  suit  against  him  for  the  seduction  (ff 
his  wife,  laying  his  damages  at  $  10, 000. 
Peter  Mitchell,  as  counsel  for  Hayes, 
put  in  an  answer  to  the  complaint,  both  of  whifh 
were  pubii.shed  at  the  time.  Nothing  has  been  heard 
of  the  lawsuit  since.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  IngersoU  have 
been  married  10  years.  She  has  had  to  leave  him 
seven  times  within  that  i>eriod  on  account  of  iU- 
trcatment  and  lack  of  support.  T-hev  finally  sep- 
arated on  the  2d  of  last  May.  Mrs.  tngersoll  then 
took  up  her  residence  in  Philadelphia,  where  she  was 
bom.  and  beiran  an  action  f«r  divorce  against  her

No  new  developments  were  made  yesterday 
in  regard  to  the  mysterious  disappearance  of  the  pas- 
senger on  the  Ohio  River  steamboat,  and  who  is 
supiiosed  to  have  been  WUliam  Bryan,  of  Brooklyn, 
o»  some  person  who  ha<l  become  possessed  of -his 
tmnk.  Inspector  tVaddy.  of  the  Brooklyn  Police, 
yesterday  mwming  received  a  letter  from  Chief  of 
Police  Woods,  of  Cincinnati,  dated  Aug.  27.  giv- 
ing the  same  infonnation  contained  in  the  Cin- 
cinnati special  to  T-'K  TiMjfes  of  Tuesday  last,  with- 
out, however,  saying  anytliing  about  the  bloody  shirt 
reported  to  have  been  found  in  the  trunk.  Inclosed 
in  the  Chief's  letter  was  a  ragj^d  piece  of  ordinary 
writing-paper,  on  which  was  written  :  "  If  not  called 
for  iu  10  days  return  to  M.  Bryan,  No.  211  Srhcnec- 
tady-avenue.  BrookhTi."  A  brother  of  the  missing 
man.  the  same  one  who  was  at  Police  Head-quarters 
on  Tuesday  niirht.  when  ishown  the  piece  of  paper. 
Biud  thai  the  hand-wrinitg  cirisely  resembled  that  of 
his  lirother.'  Hei  also  stated  that  his  bi-others 
business  in  Brooklyn  was  fonut'rly  th:tt  of  a  dealer  in 
building-stone.  Later  in  the  dav  Inspector  Waddy 
received  a  dispatch  Irom  Chief  Woods,  in  answer  to 
the  one  sent  by  him  Tuesd.ny  nifflit,  but  no  furth«>r 
facts  were  contained  in  it.  John  Bryan,  the  youa<;i;r 
son,  said  yesterday  that  he  intended ,to  leave  Brook- 
lyn immediately  for  Cincinnati,  in  search  of  definite 
tidings  of  his  "iifother. 

Later  advices  from  Cmcinnatti  show  that  the 
person  who  left  the  boat  so  mysteriously  at  Boston, 
Ky.,  was  in  reality  WiUi;im  Bryan,  of  Brooklj-n. 
Oh  boarding  the  boat  he  gaxfl-hio  name  as  ••  Wil!i'a,m

The  Times  special  dispatch,  with  *  the  exc-eption 
of  the  "  letter  fr^m  M.  Wilsnn.  of  No.  2  i  1 
Schenectady-avenue,  Brooklyn."  which  turns  out  to 
have  hven  from  "  M.  Br>'an,"'  the  missing  man's  sis- 
ter. The  shirt  stained  with  bloiwl.  was  found  in  his 
trunk,  and  the  thorj'  of  the  CincinnRti  Police  is  that 
he  committed  suicide  in  the  woods  where  last  seen.

AXyVAL  MEETING  OF  FRIENDS, 

The  Wheeling  (West  Va.)  /nte«ve»cer  of  Mon- 
day says :  "There  was  a  large  meeUng  of  *  Friends' 
at  Mount  Pleasant  yesterday.  Their  yearly  meeting 
commenced  on  Friday,  and  wlU  continue  until  next 
Thursday.  Yesterday  was  the  religions  feature  of 
their  annual  meeting.  The  week  days  are  largely  de- 
votad  to  business.  Delegates  were  present  from  a 
wide  range  of  territory,  as  far  east  as  the  VaUey  of 
Yhginia,  and  as  far  west  as  Michigan  and  Indiana. 
Axnong.tiiose  who  took  part  in  -the  exercises  were 
Preacher  Livingston,  of  Ireland,  a  linen  manufac- 
turer snd  a  man  of  wealth,  who  is  a  sort  of  lay 
preacher,  and  Walter  Robertson,  of  England,  both 
UltelUgent  and  cultivated  speakers.  Hr.  Idvingston 
chanted  his  address,  which  was  quite  a  novelty  to 
most  persons  present.    Rev.  David  Tatum,  of  Cleve- 


ers,  however,  aroused  more  interest  on  the  part  ok. 
the  audience  than  Rev.  David  Upde^rafF,  of  Moant '; 
Pleasant,  whose  fame  as  a  preacher  is  extensive  aU- 
through  this  region  of  country,  and  who  is  everv- 
where  known  for  his  great  zeal  as  an  exhorter.  His 
remarks  yesterday  produced  u.  decided  effect  on  tho 
large  audience.  AlUiough  some  2,000  persons  wer*» 
in  attendance,  yet  they  were  all  comfortably  eiifed 
''for  at  dinner  time.  The  Friends  of  the  town  threw 
open  their  doors  and  were  unbounded  in  their  hospi- 
tality. Manv  of  them  from  the  surrounding  eonntry 
brought  their  weU-fiUed  bjiskets  with  them' and  pic- 
nicked under  the  trees  amid  which  the  large  *  Meet- 
ing-house is  situated.  A  noticeable  featunj  of  ves- 
terday's  meeting  was  the  absence  of  old-stvle  Quaker 
costume  among  the  brethren  and  sisters.  Although 
they  StiU  keep  up  the  *  thee  and  thou  '  style  of  ad- 
dress, yet  the  rising  generattou  show  a  manifest  dis- 
position to  fall  into  ttie  customs  of  the  heathwi 
m  the  matter  of  clothes."

1  vol.,  ICmo.    Paper  covers,  60  cents;  cloth,  $1. 

This  book,  in  short,  deserves  attention  as  being  the 
ripest  and  most  cJ^itivating  performance  of  one  of  the 
first  novelists  now  living  in  France.  We  may  add  that 
the  English  translation  is  exceedingly  well  done,  with 
far  more  ease,  grace,  and  spirit,  than  any  other  versioa 
from  the  French  which  we  have  had  the  good  fortune  to 
see  in  several  years.— jr«c-  York  Sun.

of  Chicago  had  failed,  and  ttiat  tiifi  stiBpension 
of  other  savings  instltdtiong  in  that  city  was 
apprehended,  generated  a  feeling  of  depression 
on  the  Stock  Exchange,  and  started  a  free  sell-

team  will  ahoot  over  the  same  Timge  next 
Satnrdajb  The  weatiier  was  pleaaant,  but 
quite  liot,  and  the  wind  waa  mors  nn-

occupied  the  same  targeta  as  on  the  preTioos  day, 
l>nt  the  Britiah  team  changed  the  location  of  their 
aeveral  aqnads.  Hr.  Selpli,  of  the  Kew-Orleana  team,

score  of  75  at  800  yards,  and  nine  consecutive  bMi'sr 
eyes  at  900  yards.  From  this  point,  however,  Ills 
shooting  was  not  so  good,  and  he  dosed  with  a  total 
of  210.  The  aggregate  score  made  by  the  American 
team  was  1,617,  only  tluee  points  less  tlian  on

The  Britiflh  rifle  t€»m  will  go  to  Bridgeport.  Conn., 
to-day.  the  tri^p  being  presnmnbjv  one  of  their  own 
organization.  &s  the  committee  of  seven  had  nothing 
offirially  to  do  with  it.  To-morrow  they  will  be  the 
ZTtests  of  the  West  Side  Gun  Club,  at  Elm  Park, 
where  a  glass-bnll  sAooting  match  will  take  place. 

Mr.  Schermerhom  has  reoeivod  a  copy  of  a  letter 
from  Mr.  Horatio  Ross,  patron  of  the  >atioii&l  Hitlo 
Club  of  Scotland,  to  Sir.  Renton,  Secretary  of  that 
clu\  in  which  he  deprecates  the  action  of  the  council 
of  the  Scottish  Rifle  Club  in  "venturinK  to  express  a 
doabt  as  to  Sir  Henry  Halford  and  the  British  lifle 
team  acting  impartially  to  the-  riflemen  ot  Scotland 
"in  the  event  of  thMT  being  succes.<ifal  in  their  match 
with  the  Americans."  He  further  says  that  he  dis- 
approve" o^  the  letter  so  much  that  he  can  no  longer 
permit  his  name  "to  appear  in  the  list  of  members 
of  the  club." 

mFLESHOOlIXG  AT  OREENWICB,  COJm. 
The  Irish- American  Rifle  Club  of  this  City- 
contested  a  match  with  the  Irish-Ameriean  Rifle 
Dab  of  Greenwich,  Conn.,  at  the  range  of  the  latter, 
f  esterday.  The  clubs  were  j-epresented  by  teams  of 
lix  men,  who  fired  10  shots  nnd  two  sighting  shots  at 
200  yards  distance.  The  range  was  a  primitiTa  one, 
being  simply  a  single  target,  erected  in  an  open  field, 
tnd  as  the  target  was  much  lower  than  the  firing 
jroint,  the  New-Yorkers  were  at  considerable  disad* 
vantage.  The  latter  won  the  match  and  a  silver  cup

THE     REPLY     OP    MR.    SHRPPARD    BOMAXS   TO 

THB    COMPI^AINT    OP  THE    RECEIVER  OP 

THE  GUARDIAK  MUTUAL  LIPl  COHPANT. 

The  complaint  in  the  suit  of  Henry  B.  Pier- 

.*  son.  Receiver  of  the  Guardian  Mutual  liire  ^osoranee 
Company,  against  Sheppard  Homans  and  others  of 
the  Universal  Life,  was  published  in  foil  in  Thx 
Tncxs  of  July  18.  The  answer  of  Mr.  Honuuu  has 
been  put  In  by  Ms  attorneys,  and  -the  following  ab- 
stract of  it  will  be  recognized  as  embodying  in  legal 
phraseology  nearly  the  same  statementa^hich  were 
made  by  Mr.  Homans  to  a  TiMSS  repoz^rr  on  the  date 
the  oomplaint  was  published.  Mr.Hoinani,tshisz«ply, 
"expressly  denies  that  he  has  been  within  the  past 
10  rears  connected  with  the  said  Universal  Company 
as  an  empire,  ofBcer,  accent.  Director,  «tockholder, 
or  in  any  official  capacity  whatever  :  nor  has  he  dur^ 
Ing  the  period  embraced  in  said  complaint,  or  for  any 
transaction  therein  alleged,  received  or  agreed  to  re- 
ceive any  compeusation,  salary,  eommissTon,  alleged 
'spoils,'  'gains,'  'profits,' or  any  money,  directly  or 
indirectly,  from  s^d  Universal  Compaur,  or  rtom 
any  of  Its  <flEce*».  or  from  any  one  in  its  oefaalf." 

He  says  furtopr  *'  that  he  has  been  for  the  past 
21  years  a  professional  actuary  of  life  insurance, 
during  which  period  he  has  been  em^oyed  by  not 
less  than  30  companies.  That  long  prior  to  the 
transactions  referred  to  in  said  complaint,  to  wit, 
about  May,  1872,  he  was  employed  as  a  eonsulting 
actuary  at  a  stated  annual  salary  by  the  said  Guar- 
dian Company,  among  others,  and  as  such  advised 
said  company  whenever  required  on  all  matters  with-'' 
in  his  professional  department.  That  his  stdd  stated" 
salary  was  neither  increased  nor  diminished  durinc 
his  connection  with  the  said  company,  and 
that  he  received  no  other  compensation, 
bonua,  profit,  reward,  or  commisflon  dur- 
ing said  period,  or  subsequentiv,  from 
said  company,  or  from  any  source  wnatsoever 
in  its  beh&lf.  That  after  he  was  employed  as  con- 
sisting actuary  by  said  Guardian  Company  It  was 
ascertained  that  the  sworn  statements  regarding  its 
financial.condition,  as  made  by  Its  former  officer»-to 
the  Insurance  Department,  were  incorrect,  and.  that 
a  large  amount  of  worthlt»ss  premium  notes  on  poli- 
cies, which  had  ceased  to  be  in  force,  had  for  sever^ 
years  been  reported  as  good  assets.  The  technical 
reserve,  as  required  by  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New- 
York,  was  in  c-onseqnence  largely  impaired,  and  this 
deficiency  in  the  technical  reserve  of  the  said  Guar- 
dian Company  was  promptly  reported  by  its  ofBcera 
to  the  Insurance  Department.  That  the  defendant. 
Purber^  acting,  as  thli  defendant  was  informed 
and  believes,  in  behalf  of  the  said  Universal  Com- 
pany, offered  to  assume  the  liabilities  of  the  said 
Guardian  Company  in  consideration  of  the  trans- 
fer of  its  assets,  and  in  connection  therewith  of- 
fered to  make  good  temporarllv  the  technical  defi- 
ciency in  the  reserve  of  the  saia  Guudlan  Company. 
and  thus  enable  it  to  meet  the  requiremenis  of  the 
Insnrance  Department.  This  defendant  had  no 
knowledge  or  information  of  any  personal  benefit  to 
be  derived,  or  expected  to'  be  derived,  therefrom  by 
said  Furber,  or  by  any  other  person.  This  defend- 
ant further  submits  that  the  said  Gtiardian  Company 
and  the  plaintiif  sre  estopped  from  any  claim  upon 
this  defendant  Hrising  oat  of  the  transactions  of  the 
said  Guardian  Company  by  which  it  and  Its  policy- 
holders were  benefited*  or  sought  to  be  benefited, 
and  he  alleges  and  respectfolly  submits  to  the  court 
that  neither  the  deficiency  in  the  technical  reserves 
of  said  Guardian  Company,  nor  any  disaster  which 
has  since  befallen  its  policy-holders,  can  justly  be  at- 
tributed to  a^act  or  advice  of  this  defendant." 


BASE-BALL. 


A  DEAW  QA.ME  BETWEEN  THE  INDIANAPOLIS 
AND  THE  HARTFORD  NINES. 
The  Indianapolis  nine  made  their  first  ap- 
pearance la  this  vicinity  in  a  game  with  the  Brook- 
lyn Hartford  Clnb,  on  the  Union  Grounds,  yesterday. 
Thos  far,  although  they  have  beaten  every  league 
nine  in  the  country,  they  have  been  unable  to  score 
a  single  victory  over  the  Brooklynites.  The  games 
between  these  clubs  have  always  been  stubbornly 
contested,  and  yesterday's  was  no  exception 
to  the  rule.  The  Hartfords  were  greatly  weakened 
by  the  absence  of  Holdsworth  and  Ferguson,  the 
latter  of  whom  was  on  the  ground,  but  too  ill  to 
take  part.  The  visitors  wtere  out  in  full  strength, 
and  presented  a  pretty  apt>earance  in  their  neat  uni- 
forms of  white  and  bfae.  Play  was  called  at 
4  P.  M.  by  Mr.  Mathews,  of  the  Mutual  Club,  with 
the  home  nine  at  the  bat.  The  game  opened  favor- 
ably Jor  the  Hartfords.  who  took  the  lead  in  the 
first  ^ning  by  1  to  O.  After  this  inning  no  more 
runs  were  scored  until  the  fourth,  the  fielding  being 
of  the  sharpest  kind.  In  the  fourth  in- 
ning the  Tieitors  scored  one  on  Start's  "muff" 
assisted  by  Flint's  two  baser  and  Carey'b"  pass," 
thus  bringing  up  their  score  even  with  the  imrtfords. 
In  the  latter  half  of  the  fifth  inning,  after  the  In- 
dianapolis Club  had  scored  two  runs,  and  having  but 
two  men  out,  play  was  stopped  by  the  rain.  After 
waiting  for  the  usual  30  minutes  for  the  rain  to  pass 
over,  the  umpire  decided  theeame  adraw.  The  vlsit- 
ors  made  a  favorable  Impression  on  those  present,  ^ 
their  gentlemanly  deportment  while  on  the  field  be- 
ing  much  commented  .upon.  The  following  is  a  score 
of  the  game  as  far  as  played :

THE  CHARGES  AQAISST  CITY  UAKSBAL& 
Chief  Clerk  Hardy,  of  the  Mayor's  office, 
yesterday  began  an  investigation  of  the  oharges  made 
by  Patrick  M.  Parke,  of  No.  75  Orchard-street, 
against  City  Marshals  Frank  O'Dounell  and  Henry 
Singer,  published  In   yesterday's  TiMXS.     The  exam- 

ination  was  a  prolonged  one.  the*  time  being  chiefly, 
occupied  in  taxing  the  testimony  of  the  complainant 
and  his  counsel,  Mr.  Frank  Trautman,  in  reference  to 
the  payment  of  $20  to  Singer,  on  the  latter's  makins 
a  promise  to  suspend  his  levy  on  the  stock  of 
Christopher  Murray,  of  No.  7  Canal-street. 
Some  new  facts  were  revealed  by  Mr.  Trautman,  who 
testified  that  after  Singer  had  accepted  the  money 
and  had  left  the  premises,  admonishing  the  com- 
plainant and  his  friends  to  keep  the  matter  quiet,  he 
[Trautman]  met  hiin  next  day  or  the  day  after,  when 
he  said  that  the  execution  had  been  taken  from  him 
to  give  to  the  Marshal,  and  adfled  that  if  Trautman 
would  give  him  two  days'  time  he  would  return  him 
the  $20.  The  witness  told  S  inger  that  Parke  was 
very  much  offended,  and'^as  likely  u*  cause  him 
[Singer}  trouble.  Singer  then  a«(ked  Trautman  to  do 
all  he  could  for  him.  and  get  the  matter  put  off  for 
two  days,  and  at  that  time,  if  he  could  get  the  money, 
he  would  come  to  his  office  and  give  it  to  him.  Traut- 
man then  told  him  he  had  since  teamed  that  he  was  not 
a  Marshal,  and  asked  him  why  he  had  shown  him  his 
badge  when  he  came  to  nim  with  the  execution. 
Singer  replied  that  it  was  only  an  old  bai^re  that  he 
had.  Trautman  met  Singer  again  at  a  friend's  office, 
when  he  promised  to  pay  the  $20  that  afternoon, 
which,  as  far  as  Trsntman  could  recollect,  was 
Wednesday,  tbfe  22d  inst.  Trautman  further  testified 
that  he  was,  positive  that  O'Donnell  was  present 
during  the  whole  of  the  conversation  with  Singer  and 
himwf  in  Parke's  saloon  :  he  did  not,  however,  take 
part  in  the  conversation,  or  speak  a  word  during  the 
negotiations.  He  believed  that  Singer  was  a  Marshal 
at  the  time  he  gave  him  the  money,  which,  he  testi- 
fied, wa§  paid  for  no  purpose  whatever.  At  the  con- 
clusion of  Trautman "stertimony,  the  further  hearing 
was  adjourned  until  Monday  next,  at  10  o'clock. 

THE  GARBAGE  WAR. 
The  Police  Commissiongy'sof  Brooklyn  yester- 
day came  to  the  concltislon  Thjjt  thfQ'^il^n  right  to 
comply  with'the  request  of  Shore  Inspector 'Fergu- 
son, and  furnish  him  with  a  force  at  pelteemen  to 
proceed  down  the  bay  and  arrest  the  New-York  gar- 
bage men  who  persist  in  dumping  their  filthy  freight 
In  the  water  on  an  ebb  tide,  for  the  reason  that  the 
offense  was  committed  beyond  the  limits  of  the  city, 
and  therefore  outside  their  jnriM^tlon.  It  is  said 
that  the  proper  place  for  Mr.  Ferguson  to  apply 
is  to  the  Sherifc  of  Kings  County,  and  that'  a 
he  applies  there  he  irill  get  aU,  the  men  he 
wants.  It  is  also  said  that  the  Supervisors'  com- 
mittee are  in  favor  of  granting  Mr.  Ferguson's  regtil- 
aition  for  a  raid  on  the  offending  garbage  men.  Dis- 
trict Attorney  Britton  s^d  yesterday  that  if  he  could 
get  evidence  that  these  men  were  violating  the  order 
of  the  court  he  wotild  get  an  attachment  at  once,  and 
arrest  the  Police  Commissioners  of  New- York.  Shore 
Inspector  Ferguson  felt  very  indignant  because  the 
Pouce  Commissioners  refused  to  grant  his  request, 
butsaldthat  he  should  notapplyto  the  Sheriff,  because 
he  had  no  authority  by  law  to  do  so.  and  no  means  of 
paying  such  men  if^he  got  them.  He  declared,  how- 
ever, that  he  should  certainly  not  stop  where  he  was, 
but  Just  what  he  should  dp  he  was  not  prepared  to

A  PATE RSON  POLICEM Ay  BEATEN. 
Officer  Arensmen,  of  '  the  Patersoa  Police 
force,  was  badly  beaten  on  Ttiesday  night,  while  at. 
tempting  to  atrest  a  drunken  man  named  Cunning* 
ham.  The  officer  was  conversing  with  a  friend  when 
Cunningham  came  up  and  began  to  abuse  him.  The 
officer  ordered  him  away,  but  he  refused  to  go.  The 
officer  then  pushed  him  away  and  he  fell  to  the 
ground.  On  regaizitng  his  feet  he  approached  the 
officer  and  struck  him  a  powerful  blow  in  the  face. 
The  officer  then  caught  bold  of  him,  and  was  taring 
him  to  the  Police  swtion,  when  a  man  'named  Fitx- 
gerald  and  a  woman  naaoed  Khig  came  up  and  res- 
etted the  prisoner.  Fituerald  stroek  the  officer  and. 
knoeking  him  down,  kicked  him  la  the  face  and  body 
until  he  wa#  nneonsdons.  Word  was  sent  to  th«  Po. 
Uee  station,  tad  la  a  few  mlnotes  the  Oaptatai  and 
several  officers  were  on  the  spot,  but  the  men  had 
fled.  Arensmen  waaeanled  to  nia  home  and  a  p2^ysl.

▼exy  sarioua  nature.  Titwrald.  was  arxerted  and 
plaoed  under  t500  balL  ^Cnimtnghgn  haafledtha 


this  morning. 

At  a  little  before  4  o'clock  yesterday  afternoon 
Weston  was  taken  to  the  Tombs  Police  Court.  He 
was  accompanied  by  his  brother-in-law,  Mr.  Ross 
Lewin,  of  iiochester;  I>r.  Burras,  liis  bondsman,  and 
Counselor  James  Oliver.  CoL  John  R.  Fellows  soon 
Joined  the  party  in  one  of  the  inner  rooms,  and  be. 
fore  4  o'clock  the  prisoner  whs  called  up  to  the  bar. 
Officer  Thomas  Ferris,  who  still  had  Weston  in 
charge,  was  first  put  upon  the  stand.  He  produced" 
the  following  telegram  from  the  Chief  of  Police  of 
Chicago: 

"  Hold  E.  B.  Weston  for  forgery  on  Third  National 
Bank  of  Chicago.  Will  forward  requisition  as  soon  as 
possible." 

The  telegram  was 'dated  Chicago,  Aug.  26,  (Sun- 
day,) 4:30  F.  M.,  and  the  office  marks  showed  that 
it  had  been  delivered  in  this  City  at  6  P.  M.  on  the 
same  day:~  As  soon  as  thf>  dispatch  was  read  Col. 
Fellows  asked  whv  the  process  had  not  been  served 
before,  as  it  had  Been  in  the  hands  of  the  Police  for 
nearly  three  days.  Justice  Duffy  replied  that  the 
prisoner  had  been  in  the  hands  of  the  New- York  au- 
thorities until  yesterday ;  but  that  as  soon  as  he 
was  at  liberty,  probably,  the  Police  deemed  It  un- 
N»fe  to  delay  longer.  Col.  Fellows  then,  in  a  brief 
address  to  the  court.  Inveighed  severely  against  what 
he  termed  the  outrage  that  had  been  committed 
against  his  client.  He  had  been  kidnapped  in  Chi. 
cago.  he  said,  without  semblance  of  law.  When  he 
passed  through  Rochester  on  his  way  to  this  City  he 
desired  to  confer  with  his  relatives,  and  arrange  for 
bail  and  defense,  but  his  request  was  denied.  When 
he  reached  this  City,  Col.  Fellows  continued,  where 
he  has  relatives  and  friends,,  he  was  illegal- 
ly imprisoned  in  the  Fifth-Avenue  Hotel,  and 
was  denied  the  right  of  seeing  friends  or  connsel. 
Besides,  more  than  sufficient  time  had  elapsed  for 
the  necesitary  papers  to  reach  this  City  sinre  the  tele- 
gram was  sent,  if,  indeed,  the  telegram  was  what  it 
purported  to  be,  and  really  came  from  the  Chief  of 
the  Chicago  Police,  of  which  there  was  no  evidence. 
"They  want  him  back  in  Chicago,"  he  concluded  -'so 
that  he  cannot  appear  here  as  a  witness.  We  are 
willing  to  give  any  bail."  Officer  Ferris  then  made 
affidavit  that,  to  the  best  of  his  know>.Hige  and  be- 
lief, the  telegram  was  a  genuine  one.  and  that  the 
prisoner,  Weston,  was  the  man  therein  described. 
Uol.  Fellows  objected  to  the  prisoner  beinjt  held  on 
the  officer's  affidavit,  saying  that  an  act  of  Congress 
provided  that  no  penton  could  be  held  to  await  a 
requisition  from  another  State  unless  proper  affida- 
vits had  been  made  charging  the  prisoner  with  the 
commission  of  some  crime.  Justice  Duffy  replied 
that  he  would  hold  Weston  for  a  reasonable  time  to 
await  the  arrival  of  the  papers,  and  CoL  Fellows 
retorted  that  a  higher  court  could  reverse  that  de- 
cision. Justice  Duffy  said  that  he  could 
not  take  bail  in  this  case,  but  Counselor  Oliver  cited 
a  similar  case  in  which  the  Justice  had  accepted  balL 
Col.  Fellows  again  took  occasion  to  denounce  the 
treatment  of  his  client  and  the  other  prisoners  who 
had  Wen  smuggled  into  flrst-claw  hoteU,  and  kept 
away  from  their  friends  and  advisers.  "  This  case," 
he  said,  "has  been  asgross  and  grotesque  a  burlesque 
on  justice  as  this  community  has  ever  seen.  Private 
imprisonment  is  a  thiug  unknown  to  our  laws.  These 
men  were  held  In  solitary  hotel  confinement,  that 
they  might  be  subjected  to  a  squeezing  process,  aud 
forced  to  disclose  what  they  are  supposed  to  know 
about  this  case." 

JuMtice  Duffy  replied  that  Mr.  Wheeler  H.  Peck- 
ham  had  called  upon  him.  and  requested  him  to  ac- 
company him  to  the  Fifth- Avenue  Hotel  to  grant  a 
warrant  in  a  case  that  it  was  necessary,  for  the  pub- 
lie  good,  to  keep  from  the  public  ;  that  he  had  gone 
to  the  hotel  antr  seen  the  pilsoners,  but  that  there 
was  not  sufficient  evidence,  and  that  he  had  declined 
to  grant  the  warrant.  He  added  that  he  would  com- 
mit Weston  for  36  hours  on  a  charge  of  being  a 
fugitive  from  justice ;  but  that,  sheuld  the  papers  ar- 
rive from  Chicago  within  that  time,  he  would  give 
the  prisoner  a  hearing  immediately.  Or  be  would  ac- 
cept J?5, 000  ball. 

"Very  good,"  replied  CoL  Fellows  t  "he  offers 
bail  now,  uid  we  would  like  to  have  the  sureties  ex- 
amined at  once.  They  are  Mr.  Ross  Lewln.  of 
Rochester,  and  Mr.  Purcell,  of  the  Metropolitan  Ho- 
tel New-Tork."  Mr.  Ross  Lewln  said  that  he  owned 
a  house  and  lot  at  No.  25  South  Clinton-street. 
Rochester,  worth  $25,000.  on  which  there  was  a 
mortgage  of  $2,800.  Mr.  Purcell  said  that  he 
owned  no  real  estate  in  this  City.'  Jus^ce  Duffy 
said  that  the  Rochester  bail  look ea  very  good,  but 
it  was  so  far  away  that  he  had  better  remand  Wes- 
ton for  24  hotirs,  which  he  did. 

As  the  officer  was  stepping  outside  the  rail  to  take 
charge  of  his  prisoner.  Col.  Fellows  served  upon  him 
the  writ  of  habeas  corpus  that  had  previously  been 
procured,  '•ommanding  the  production  of  Weston's 
body  before  Jndge  Van  Brunt,  at  10:30  o'clock  this 
morning.  The  officer  was  again  about  to  start, 
when  Dr.  Burras,  Weston's  bondsman,  took  the 
stand  and  announced  that  he  desired  to  surrender 
the  prisoner,  and  have  his  bond  canceled. 

"Then,"  said  Justice  Duffy,  "he  la  again  in  the 
custody  of  this  court,  and  Is  remanded  back  to  the 
House  of  Detention." 

The  pris  ner  asked  that  he  might  have  more  com- 
fortable quarters  in  the  House  of  Detention,  and  be 
allowed  to  walk  In  the  corridors,  and  Justice  Duffy 
instructed  the  officer  to  tell  the  Keeper  of  the  House 
of  Detention  that  the  court  desired  the  prisoner  to 
have  a  gq<^  room.  Justice  Duffy  announced  that 
since  the  surrendering  of  the  priMiner  by  his  bonds- 
man, he  took  no  further  cognizance  of  the  Chicago 
telftCTam,  at  present,  and  that  the  prisoner  was  re- 
mjfced  to  the  care  of  the  Superintendent  of  Police, 
ancrient  to  the  House  of  Detention  as  a  witness. 

Much  surprise  was  expressed  when  Dr.  Burras 
asked  that  his  ball  bond  might  be  cancelled,  for  it 
was  known  that  Weston's  mends  had  deposited  a 
certified  check  for  $2,000  with  him.  to  secure  him 
against  loss.  But  it  was  done  with  the  prisoner's 
knowledge  and  concturenc^^  for.  by  being-  thrown 
again  into  the  hands  of  the  New-York  authorities, 
and  again  being  sent  to  the  House  of  Detention,  he 
was  secured  from  being  returned  to  Illinois  on  a 
requisition  from  that  State— at  least  until  he  had 
had  sufficient  time  to  prepare  a  defense,  should  the 
charge  be  pressed  against  him.  When  Dr.  Burras 
accepted  security  before  giving  boil  for  Weston,  on 
Tuesdayr-his  bonds  became  thereby  unavailable,  so 
the  lawyers  say.  under  a  law  that  covers  this  point. 
A  well-known  criminal  lawyer  said  'yesterday  that 
two  years  ago  he  defended  Sprague  in  the  United 
States  District  Court,  'Where  the  Utter  was  on  trial 
for  forgery.  Bein^  acquitted  on  this  Charge,  he  was 
soon  afterward  tried  'on  a  charge  of  counterfeiting 
the  revenue  stamp  on  a  check;  but.  the  evidence 
being  Inoufficient.  he  was  acquitted  of  this  also.  Be 
is  expeet'od  to  make  his  first  public  appearance  in  the 
$64,000  forgery  case,  in  the  Tombs,  this  morning. 

Weston  is  to  be  before  JuAm  Van  Brunt,  in  Su- 
preme Court,  Chambers,  at  103o  o'clock  this  morn- 
ing, on  the  writ  of  habeas  corpus.  Of'i^sner  is  to  be 
in  the  Tombs  Police  Court  for  examination  at  11 
o'clock.  C.  Bainbridge  Smith,  Esq.,  and  John 
Graham,  Esq.,  have  been  added  to  his  counsel. 


TSEmriTED  STATES  WAR-SHIP  PLYMOUTH. 
.  The  United  States  steamer  Plymouth,  14 
guns,  which  arrived  here  on  Monday  morning  from 
Norfolk,  Va.,  Is  anchored  near  the  Battery,  where 
she  will  probably  remain  several  weeks  to  give  lib- 
erty to  her  crew.  It  is  nearly  a  year  since  the  Ply- 
mouth visited  this  port,  and  during  that  time  she 
has  been  cruising  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  and  up  the 
Delaware,  Mississippi,  and  Potomac  Rivers  as  far  as 
she  could  conveniently  get."  Her  nassage  through 
the  Eads  jetties  was  celebrated  with  great  6<dat,  be- 
ing the  first  man-of-war  to^accompUsh  it.  and  her  re- 
rcptlon  at  New-Orleans,  and  later  at  Baton  Rouge. 
Donaldsonville,  Bayou  Sara,  Natchei,  Grand  Gulf, 
and  Vicksburg,  was  distinguished  by  enthuslastte 
hoBpItallty.  Capt.  Barrett  has  been  earnestly  in- 
vited by  many  of  the  residents  of  the  great  Missis- 
sippi valley  to  make  a-second  visit  to  them,  aud  as- 
cend to  St.  Louis,  and  up  the  Ohio  to  Louisville,  and, 
if  the  consent  of  the  President  and  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  be  obtained,  the  experiment  will  be  tried  dur- 
ing the  coming  ^V  inter.  The  Plymouth  is  singularly 
adapted  to  this  dutr.  being  of  light  draft,  compared 
with  her  displacement,  which^is  2,400  tons.  There

They  formed  in  lines  on  Exchange-place,  passing 
in  review  before  a  distinguished  party  of'  citi- 
zens, who  had  gathered  on  the  hank  steps. 
Among  them  were  Mayors  Soldier,  of  Jersey  City, 
and  Yates,  of  Newark,  Gen.  Judson  Kilpatriek,  Gen. 


Ward,  of  Newark,  Adjt.-Gen8.  Squire,  of  New- 
York,  and  Sullivan,  of  New-Jersey ;  Col.  Farley, 
Adjntant-Greneral  of  the  National  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic,  and  a  number  of  others.  Mayor  Seldler 
dehvered  a  very  neat  address  of  welcome,  extendlr^ 
to  thg./:pmrade8  the  hospitalities  of  the  city,  aniL 
Gen-  Kilpstrick  having  in  the  meanwhile  made  a  little 
speech.  Department  CSimmander  MuUer  thanked  the 
Mayor  on  behalf  of  the  posts  for  his  welcome.  The 
command  to  "forward  "  was  soon  heard  all  along  the 
tine,'lmd  In  a  few  moments  the  veterans  had  taken 
up  their  line  of  march  for  Bellevue  Park,  where  they 
bivouaoked.  The  managers  sat  down  to  an  elegant 
repast'in  the  hotel  on  the  premises,  while  the  soldiery 
were  fed  on  the  Army  rations  of  coffee,  bean 
soup,  and  hard  tack,  on  the  tables  scattered  about  on 
the  grounds.  After  dinner,  many  of  the  distinguished 
soldiers  who  had  accompanied  the  proeession  were 
conducted  to  a  platform  in  the  pavilion,  and  an  hour 
was  devoted  to  the  making  of  speeches.  A  number 
of  letters  were  read  from  invited  guests  expressing 
their  regrets  that  tfaey  cotild  not  attend.  Among  the 
letters  was  one  from  W.  K.  Rogers,  President  Hayes' 
Private  Secretary,  in  which  he  nays : 

"I  am  directed  by  the  Prtsldent  to  acknowledge  with 
thanlts  tho  receipt  of  your  very  kind  favor  of  the  6th 
Inflt.,  containlnc  an  invitation  to  be  present  oq  the  occa- 
sion of  the  third  annual  reunion  of  the  veteran  soldiers 
of  New-Jersey,  and  to  say.  In  reply,  that  whiie  he  most 
cordially  appreciates  your  courtesy,  he  regrets  his  in- 
ability to  accept,  owing  to  prerious  cng^iements." 

Gov.  Bedle  excused  himself  on  the  ground  that  he 
was  attcndlajc  the  Convention  of  Governors  in  Phlla- 
dielphia,  and  letters  from  Gen.  Sigel  and  ex-Mayor 
Gopsill  were  slso  read.  Commander-in-Chief  Robin- 
son, who  was  then  introduced,  made  a  brief  speech, 
and  Gen.  Judson  Kilpatriek  followed  in  a  very  elo- 
quent address,  which  he  began  by  areference  to  some 
of  the  hard  fights  of  the  war.  He  took  occasion  to 
say  tliat  It  had  been  objected  that  there  might  be 
sonlething  political  tn  the  organisation.  There  was 
nothing  of  that  kind  permitted  among  the  soldiers, 
he  said,  but  if  there  were  why  should  they,  not.  if 
they  saw  fit,  express  in  convention  their  views  of  the 
best  methods  of  perpetuating  the  Union  they  h^d 
fought  to  preserve  ?  He  closed  with  a  graphic  pic- 
ture of  Gen.  Phil  Kearney's  last  appearance  on  the 
battle-field,  bringing  tears  to  many  eyes.  Addresses 
were  also  delivered  by  Comrade  Tanner,  of  New- 
York  ;  Chs^ain  Hiram  Eddy,  and  CoLRemmy,  a  vet- 
eran of  the  war  of  1812..  Theresi  of  theday  was  spent 
in  liehting  the  camp-fires,  singing  old  war  s«||gs.  and 
telling  old  war  stories.  The  next  reunion  will  be 
held  on  Gen.  Kilpatrick's  farm  in  "  Old  Sussex."

LARGE  QUANTITIES  OF  **  BOB  VEAL "  EX- 
POSED FOR  SALE  IN  WASHINGTON  MAR- 
KET—HOW IT  CAN  BE  DISTINGUISHED 
FROM   GOOD  MEAT.  *  I 

While,  as  stated  yesterday,  the  newly-ap- 
pointed Clerk  of  Washington  Market  is  dividing  his 
time  between  attendance  u]X>n  picnics  and  the  in- 
discriminate seizure  of  some  ■  bad  and  much  good 
meat,  certain  dealers  in  the  market  are  exposing  for 
sale  openly  meat  that  is  not  fit  for  dogs  to  eatl)  Of 
all  meat  none  is  so  liable  to  Ve  unwholesome,  even 
when  It  is  of  the  best,  than  "bob  veal; "  and  when  it 
is  not  properly  fed,  or  is  kUled  too  voting,  it  is  al- 
most certain  to  breed  disease,  especially  among  chil- 
dren, whether  they  receive  the  poison  direct  from 
the  meat,  or.  what  is  worse,  irom  the  mother's 
breast.  The  saWof  "  bob  veal  "  is  supposed  to  have 
/^en  stopped.  «t  the  fact  is,  that  vast  quantities  of 
vcai  from  1  d^l  to  1  week  old,  is  consumed  every 
day  In  this  O^Band  when  a  well -developed  calf  is 
taken  from  a  sVightered  beef,  the  man  who  will  not 
Send  it  to  an  alnmys  ready  market  shows  himself  to 
be  either  lacking  In  shrewdness  or  overbturdened 
with  conscience.  The  bulk  of  this  stuff  is  sent  to  the 
Citv  in  baskets  from  Orange  County,  in  this  State, 
and  from  New-Jersey,  and  is  sold  to  retailers  at 
from  $1  to  $1  50  per  head.  These  retailers  go  to 
others  who  deal  in  good  meat,  buy  a  quantity  of 
caul,  and,  after  soaking  It,  plaster  it  over  the  slimy 
legs  and  loins,  and  then  offer  them  for  sale  to  poor 
people  who  want  cheap  meat.  While  ordinary  buyers 
cannot  perhaps  go  tnrouph  the  market  and  tell 
just  how  many  days  or  weeks  before  or  after  birth 
the  veal  offered  them  was  killed,  they  cin  at  least 
judge  something  of  Its  fitness  for  food  by  Its  general  . 
appearance  and  the  price  asked  for  it.  Reputabla/^ 
butchers  say  that  veal  fit  for  food  costs  them  by  the 
carcass  12  cents  a  pound  at  the  lowest,  prime  grades 
being  several  cents  higher.  To  make  a  living  profit 
a  butcher  who  pays  12  cents  muftt  sell  the  legs  for 
20,  the  loins  for  IR,  the  breast  for  16.  and  the 
shoulder  for  11,  and  yet  all  through  the  centre  of 
Washington  Market  legs  can  be  bought  at  from  7  to 
10  cents,  apd  shoulders  at  from  6  to  S.  The  meat  is 
usoallv  smaU,  soft,  and  flabby,  and  of  a  dirty  brown 
or,  bluish  color.  Many  of  these  dealers  show-a  stropg 
tendency  to  be  obliging,  and  w^Il  readily  come  down 
1  or  2  aents  a  pound  when  a  customer  hesitates. 
Since  all  of  them  claim  to  sell  nothing  but  good 
meat.  It  will  be  interwiting  to  know  how  the  keepers 
of  stands  Noe.  203,  223,  232.  239.  244.  242,  566. 
2IS^  and  others  can  figure  out  a  profit  at  the  prices 
mentioned.  It  might  be  untrue  to  say  that  unwhole- 
some meat  is  kept  in  Washington  Market,  but  it 
would  do  no  harm  for  the  authorities  to  inquire 
whether  or  not  It  is  sold  there.

pool  to  New-York.     A  report  to  that  effect,  which 
was  received  by  telegraph  from  Llverpoot,  was  veri- 
fied yesterday  on  inquiry  at  the  offlces  of  the  two 
steam-Bhip  lines.    Earl^^  the  year  weekly  steamers 

were  resumed  between  New-York  and  Liverpool,  but 
the  con^jMijes  soon  decided  that  buslneas  was  not 
brisk  enwgh  for  such  frequent  trim.  During  the 
Summer  the  Inman  lane  has  sent  out  three  steamers 
a  month,  and  the  White  Star  Ldne,  three  steamexa  in 
five  weeks.  --"

$44  50    WORTH  OF  LIQUOR  AND  LAW. 

Alderman  Bryan  Beilly  seems  to  hare  founds 
time  last  year  to  conduct  a  liquor  business, 
and  he  bought  ale  of  Thomas  C.  Lyman  and 
Henry  L.  Greenman.  Reilly  omitted  to  pay 
Messrs.  Lyman  and  Greenman.  who  ixnmedi' 
ately  brought  suit  in  the  Eighth  District 
Court,  and  on  Nov.  0  last  recovered  a  judg- 
ment against  htm  for  $44  50.  An  execu- 
tion against  Rellly's  property  was  returned 
unsatlsned,  and  J.  P.  Solomon,  the  counsel  for 
Messrs.  Lyman  and  Greenman,  then  procttred  an  order 
from  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  requiring  Rejlly  to 
appear  and  be  examined  in  supplementarv  proceed- 
ings in  regard  to  his  property.  Beilly  failed  to  ap- 
pear, av^d  an  order  was  issued  directing  him  to  show 
cause  why  he  should  not  be  punished  for  contempt  of 
court.  The  proceedings  were  adjourned  from  time  to 
time  at  Rellly's  request,  and  finally  Reilly  agreed  to 
pay  the  judgment  in  instalments  of  $5  per  week.  He 
made  one  payment  of  $5  and  then  stopped.  On 
these  allegations  Mr.  Solomon  asked  Judge  Robin- 
son, in  Chambers  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  yes- 
terday, to  issue  an  attachment  for  oontempt  against 
Reilly.  Judg*  Robiueon,  however,  desired  the  appU- 
cation^to  punish  for  contempt  to  be  renewed. 


THE  LATEST  WALL-STREET  RUMOR 
A  report  flew  like  wildfire  through  Wall-street 
yesterday,  and  was  received  with  considerable 
credence,  that  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Produce 
Exchange  bad  held  a  meeting  and  passed  a  series  of 
resolutions  denunciatory  of  the  "  imposition^  "  of 
the  telegraph  comblnatiou,  and  threatening  in  case 
the  rates  were  raised  too  high,  toisSue  a  call  to  all 
commercial  bodies  in  the  United  States  to  combine 
for  the  purpose  of  establishing  a  new  company  and 
erecting  the  necessary  wires  throughout  the^ountry. 
No  such  meeting  has  been  held,  and  nothing  of  the 
sort  is  contemplated.  The  only  foundation  for  the 
rumor  was  a  discussion  between  some  of  the  provis- 
ion men  who  are  members  of  the  Exchange,  lost  week, 
upon  the  advisability,  in  case  rates  should  be  raised 
too  high  by  the  combination,  of  building  a  private 
wire  between  this  City  and  Chicago.  The  idea  was 
abandoned  as  iyLproctlcable.

The  statement  of  the  condition  of  the  affairs 
of  Spelman  Brothers,  dealers  in  fancy  goods  at  No.

showB  the  liabilities  to  be  much  larger  than  at  first  re* 
ported.  The  liabilities  amount  to  $250,000,  while 
the  actual  assets  ore  about  one-third  of  that  sum. 
No  offer  for  a  settlement  bos  yet  been  made,  but  it 
is  expected  that  a  oompromise  will  be  effected  at.

at  the  time  engaged  In  putting  up  the  dome  on  the 
new  munieipi^bTUlding,  and  had,  nearly  completed 
the  frame-work  of  the  etructureT  The  swaytw-  erf

off,  and  the  lively  way  in  which  the  workmen  hur- 
ried down  the  ladders  and'  left  their  unstable  posi- 
tions was  wonderful. 

Henry  Scheitz,  aged  11  years,  and  Patrick 
Coyne,  aged  12  yeflK  residing  at  No.  508  Flushing. 
avenue,  were  arrested  by  Det^tive  Brady  yesterday

The  Justices  generally  throughout  Richmond 
County  have  refused  to  issue  warrants  for  the  ar- 
rest of  the  liquor-dealers  on  the  application  of  the 
Police.  Their  grounds  are  that  uie  infonnStlon 
which  the  Policemen  have  obtaiued'is  not  sufficient 
to  prove  an  offense,  and  that  none  of  the  parties  if 
arrested  could  be  convicted  on  such  evidence,  As  to 
the  point  that  the  mere  exposure  of  liquors  in 
saloons  is  proof  that ,  it  is  sold,  examination  of  the 
law  on  the  subject  slrtJws  that  the  provision  in  ques- 
tion only  applies  to  certain  hours  of  the  night.

CLINGING  TO  A  SINKING  BOAT. 
A  party  of  10  from  Riverhead,  consisting  of 
Rev.  Mr.  McFarland,  of  Brooklyn,  with  his  wife  and 
two  children,  the  latter  aged  respectively  2  and  4 
years;  Mrs.  and  MUs  Conklin,  Miss  Nellie  VaJl.  and 
other  ladies  on  Friday  went  down  the  river  with 
Edward  H.  Vail  in  a  sajJ-boat,  for  the  purpose  of 
^hing  and  bathing.  When  off  Reeves*  Bay,  near 
Jamesport,  the  boat  was  struck  by  a  flaw  and 
knocked  down.  She  had  stone  ballast,  which  shifted 
aft,  and  she  went  down  by  the  stem  in  eight  or  ten 
feet  of  water,  the  stem  resting  on  the  bottom  and 
the  bow  out  of  water.  The  party  clung  to  tbe  boat 
and,  although  much  frightened,  the  ladles  displayed 
great  courage  and  presence  of  mind.  Mr.  Vail  held 
the  elder  child  and  Miss  Vail  the  other,  and  their 
beads  werekept  well  above  water,  though  occasion- 
ally they  would  go  under.  Capt.  George  Vail,  in  the 
sloop  White  Oak,  was  a  long  distance  to  leeward 
beating  up,  and.  seeing  the  accident,  hastened  to  the 
party's  assistance,  though  it  was  20  minutes  before 
he  could  ^et  a  boat  to  thein,  and  meantime  their  boat 
was  worlang  into  deeper  water  and  gradually  sinking. 
But  all  were  fortunately  rescued  and  taken  back  to 
Riverhead.  The  boat  was  raised  and  towed  up  the 
river,  and  the  only  loss  sustained  was  tr^  shawU. 

FLED  THE  COUNTRY. 
The  White-Merriman  habeas  corpus  case  came 
up  for  trial  before  Judge  Reynolds,  in  the  Brooklyn 
City  Court,  yesterday,  per  adjournment.  Mrs. 
White,  the  mother,  was  in  court  with  the  child,  a 
-bright  little  fellow  of  21a  , years,  but  the  father  did 
not  put  in  on-  appearance.  He  was  represented  by 
counsel,  however,  and  the  case  was  adjourned  for 
two  weeks.  It  is  stated  that  White,  who  is  charged 
with  the  crime  of  bigamy,  has  fled  the  country,  and 
hia  counsel  remark^  to  a  reporter  that  it  was  not 
probable  the  mother  of  the  child  would  ever  be 
forced  to  part  with  her  infant.  In  other  woids.  Mr. 
White  has  probably  wisely  come  to  the  conclusion  to 
forego  the  possession  of  his  boy  rather  than  run  the 
risk  of  going  to  the  Penitentiary  for  inveigling  a 
simple-minded  girl  into  a  mock  marriage  while  he 
had  another  wife  living.  It  is  now  asserted  that  he 
has  two  other  wives  living. 

NOT  A  CASE  OF  MURDER. 
The  remains  of  James  H.  3Iackey,  the  young 
Brooklyn  lawyer  who  was  fotmd  dead  in  the  woods 
near  Newport,  Ky.,  a  few  days  ago,  under  drcum- 
stances  which  at  the  time  led  to  the  supposition  that 
he  bad  been  murdered,  were  brought  to  Brooklyn  at 
an  earlxhour  yesterday  morning,  and  were  taken  Jo 
thj^^sla*Me  of  his  sister  in  Clermont-avenue, 
trooklyn.  Jttr.  Charles  Ramsay,  who,  with  a  sister 
of  deceased,  went  after  the  body,  states  that  after  a 
full  investigation  of  all  the  circumstances  surround- 
ing the  case,  he  is  of  opinion  that  Mr.  Mackey  was 
not  murdered,  but  that  his  death  was  caused  by  fall- 
ing and  striking  his  head  against  a  stone.  The 
funeral  will  take  place  from  St.  Augustine's  Roman 
Catholic  Church,  in  Fifth-avenue,  comer  of  Bergen* 
street,  at  9  o'clock  this  morning.

Xineteenth-street,  Kew-York,  visited  Brooklyn  Po- 
lice Head-quarters  yesterday  afternoon,  and  told 
Inspector  Waddy  a  story  which  adds  one  more  to  the 
already  numerous  esqiloits  of  Maria  McBermott,  the 
notorious  femSte  confidence  swiiidlerwith  the  numer- 
ous aliases,  against  whom  a  constant  stream  of  com- 
plaints has  been  Wuring  since  her  arrest.  Mr.  Van 
Renssalaer  said  that  a  little  more  than  a  year  ago 
Maria  was  in  thelemploy  of  hia  wife  as  a  ntirse  ;  that 
they  all  went  one  to  a  dinner  party,  leaving  Maria  in 
sole  charge  of  tho  premLses,  and  that  when  they 
returned  at  a  late  hour  at  night,  the  nurse  was  miss- 
is^, as  was  over  $1,500  worth  of  property,  consist- 
ISg  of  jewelry  and  clothing.  Mr.  Van  Rensselaer 
got  no  track  of  the  missing  domestic  until  he  heard 
of  her  arrest  in  Brooklyn,  when  he  came  over  to 
Raymond- Street  Jail .  and  fully  identified  her.  She 
refused  to  give  him  an;^T4ue  whereby  he  could  obtain, 
posseesion  of  the  stolen  pmperty;

Des  Moines,  Iowa,-'Ang.  30. — No  attempt 
bas  yet  been  made  to  repair  the  break  in  the 
Bock  Island  BaUroad  at  the  scene  of  the  recent 
accident,  every  effort  thns  far  being  di- 
rected to  the  removal  of  the  debris  for  the 
discovery  of  more  bodies  of  victims.  All  the 
■wreck  has  been  removed,  and  the  water  has  all 
passed  away;  bnt  no  bodies  have  been  dis- 
severed to-day.  The  killed  number  17, 
}nd  the  wonnded  35.  George  Love, 
son  of  Judge  Love,  of  this  city, 
D.  T.  CoUender,  ot  this  city,  and  Mrs.  William 
L>ow  reported  missin?  last  night,  and  supposed 
to  have  been  killed,  were  heard  from 
(o-day,  each  having  missed  the  con- 
nection with  the  ill-fated  train.  TheJ 
dead  have  been  carefully  placed  in  caskets  for 
rsmov^  to  their  friends  as  fast  as  they 
can  be  ascertained  to-night.  The  bodies 
of  George  Kockwell  and  John  Brazee  were  sent 
to  Eochester.^  X.  T. ;  that  of  Charles  Thompson 
to  Middletown,  Conn. ;  those  of  F.  B.  Becker  to 
Providence.  R  L,  and  George  B.  Berry  to 
Schenectady,  N.  T.  The  wounded  are  very 
carefully  cared  for,  and  are  rapidly  recovering. 
Every  train  carries  away  some,  and  all,  with 
two  or  three  exceptions,  vrtll  leave  in  a 
tew  days.  L.  B.  Spencer,  of  Lothrop.  Iowa,  and 
W.  P.  Caldwell  are  seriously,  and  it  is  feared, 
fatally  injured.  Conductor  Partridge,  reported 
fatally  hurt,  is  doing  well.  The  train  was 
shattered  to  splinters,  and  the  wonder  is  that 
jut  of  such  a  wreck  there  should  have,  been  so 
tew  killed.  The  Coroner  begins  the  legal  in- 
vestigation to-morrow.

'cieai,    with    walls   5   feet 

■  thick.  The  bridge  is  approached  from  the 
East  roopd  a  curve  and  down  a  grade.  It  ia 
thought  the  rails  were  left  standing  alone.  As 
the  train  aoDioaohed  the  engineer  slackened 


his  speed  tiU  he  eame  In  sight  of  the  bridge, 
and  supposing  that  all  t^s  right,  dashed 
upon  it.  The  channel  of  the  streani 
was  40  or  50  feet  wide,  and  the  banks 
about  20  feet  high.  The  locomotive  landed  at 
the  foot  of  the  western  side  and  half  buried  It- 
self in  the  earth.  Banium's  car  was  nest  to  the 
engine,  and  it  dropped  into  the  channel.  The 
mail  ear  followed,  passing  directly  over  it  aud 
mashing  it  to  pieces,  but  going  to  the  bottom, 
a  bar  of  iron  running  tdear  through  it. 
The  men  in  that  car  escaped  alive.  Even  the 
lajips  were  not  put  out!  The  first  passenger 
car  pitched  down  into  the  channel  where  the 
wate.-  was  at  least  15  feet  deep.  The  nert  cat- 
plunged  under  this,  telescoping  with  it,-  aiid 
the  neit  telescoped  half  through  both  of  the 
two  preceding  it.  The  sleeping-car  did  not  go 
into  the  creek.  Itsofl«np*ts  were  jarred  but 
ni  n  3  of  them  ssriously  hurt.  The  most  of  the 
killed  were  in  tje  car  in  front  ot  the  sleeper. 
The  scene  at  the  time  of  the  accident  is  thus  de.. 
scribed:  ''A  terrific  rain  was  falling  in  tor- 
rents, accompanied  by  wind,  lightnins,  and 
thunder.  The  crash  put  out  the  lights^and  the 
scene  of  terro'  which  ensued  may  be  imagined. 
The  men  who  were  not  injured,  and 
could  get  out,  went  to  work  at  once 
to  rescue  the  living  and  wounded. 
They  had  to  go  a  mile  to  a  farm  house  to  get 
axes  to  chop  them  out,  but  they  worked  hero- 
ically, and  by  daylight  had  most  of  the 
wounded  rescued.  There  were  many 
pitiful  scenes  and  tender  incidents. 
One  mother  was  killed  while  sitting  be- 
tween two  children,  who  escaped  unhurt. 
One  little  girl,  who  had  lain  in  the  water 
for  four  hours  with  a  heavy  man  lying  dead  be- 
neath her  body,  was  discovered  to  be  breathing, 
and  was  rescued  and  restored,  and  now  shows 
no  signs  of  injury.  The  dead  were  brought  here 
on  a  train,  reaching  here  at  1 1  o'clock.  Some 
25  of  the  wounded  came  with  them.  The 
oflBcers  of  the  road  were  at  the  wreck  all  day 
caring  for  the  dead  and  wounded. 

All  the  wounded  brought  here  are  doing  well, 
and  the  physicians  are  confident  none  will  die. 
The  dead  were  brought  here  last  night,  and  sev- 
eral bodies  were  forwarded  this  afternoon  to  their 
friends.  The  work  of  clearing  the  wreck 
where  it  was  driven  into  the  mud  and  soft 
earth  is  going  on  to-day.  Two  bodies  are 
known  to  be  in  the  debris,  and  it  is  feared 
there  may  be  three  or  four  morr,  as  that  num- 
ber of  passengers  is  stiU  missing.  The  body 
supposed  last  night  to  be  that  of  .Jaffry  A. 
Price,  of  Cincinnati  was  to-day  identified  as 
A.  V.  Flowers,  of  Wisconsin.

RECtaXSSNESS  OF  THE  CONDCCTOE  OP.  AN 
EXCURSION  TRAIN  AT  SALEM,  MASS.— 
FOUR  PERSONS  RUN  OVER  AND  KILLED— 
COLLISION  BETWEEN  FREIGHT  AND  PAS- 
SENGER TRAINS.." 

Salem,  Mass.,  A»^  30.— Last  evening,  as 
a  Lowell  train  carrying  the  excursionists  by  the 
steamer  Plymouth  Rock  was  running  down  the 
Pennsylvania  Pier  it  struck  a  group  of  five  per- 
sons, killing  two,  fatally  wounding  two,  and  se- 
riously injuring  one.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jooeph 
Swazey,  residing  at  Xo.  50  St  Peter' s-strcet. 
were  instantly  killed,  the  bodies  being  terribly 
mangled ;  Wilbur  F.  Swazey,  their  son,  aged 
18  years,  had  his  shoulder  dislocated,  and  died 
from  his  injuries  to-day  ;  Jliss  Rachel  Gifford, 
a  sister  of  Mrs.  Swazey,  aged  50  years,  living 
on  Mason-street,  North  Salem,  had  both-cgllar- 
bones  and  her  ribs  on  both  sides  brokep/  She 
died  about  midnight.  The  other  personinjured 
belongs  to  Lowell,  bnt  the  extent  of  his  injuries 
could  not  be  ascertained.  He  was  removed  to  his 
home  in  Lowell.  Mr.  Swazey-was  about  o3 
years  of  age.  He  was  a  painter  by  trade,  and 
was  Secretary  of  the  Salem  Mechanics'  Associa- 
tion. He  and  his  son  were  both  employed  by 
T.  J.  Gifford.&-C9.,  and  were  highly  esteemed. 
The  accident  is  attributed  to  the  recklessni-ss  of 
the  conductor  of  the  train  in  running  it  down 
upon  the  crowded  pier  with  no  head-light  or 
lantern  to  give  warning.  Several  persons,  some 
of  them  from  Lynn,  4re  reported  to  be  missing. 
Several  ladies  in  their  fright  jumped  off  the 
pier,  but  all  are  believed  to  have  been  rescued. 

SPBISOFIELD,  Mass.,  Aug.  30.— Last  night,  at 
Enfield,  on  the  Springfield.  Athol  and  North- 
eastern Railroad,  as  a  passenger  train  was  mak- 
ing a  flying  switch,  the  brakes  did  not  hold,  and 
tie  train  collided  with  a  freight  train  standing 
on  the  track,  fatally  injuring  a  brakeman  named 
Aldrich.  and  also  seriously,  if  not  fatallv, 
wounding  Conductor  Conkltng.

ATTACK  ON  THE  POST  OFFICE  AT  SAXDY 
HOOK — PARTIAL  DESTRUCTION  OF  THE 
TOWN  BY  FIRE   IN  CONSEQUENCE. 

Washington,  Aug.  30.— The  Post  OfSce 
Department  to-day  received  a  letter  from  the 
Postmaster  at  Sandy  Hook.  Ky. ,  which  says  : 
'•  On  the  night  of  the  23d  inst.  one-half  of  the 
town  was  burned,  including  the  Post  OfSeo  and 
its  entire  contents.  The  fire  was  incendiary, 
being  caused  by  a  band  of  desperadoes 
whose  purpose  was  to  rob  the  mails.'*  The 
Postmaster  reports  the  baud  still  at  large, 
and  says  they  now  threaten  hi.s  life,  and  further, 
that  the  authorities  are  unable  to  arrest  the 
thieve?.  He  advises  the  department  to  discon- 
tinue mail  service  at  that  point  until  a  sufficient 
force  can  be  had  to  arrest  the  whole  gang.  The 
department  has  the  matter  under  consideration. 

CONDITION  OF  SENATOR  MORTON. 
Washington,  Aug.  30.— The    following 

telegram  from  Col.  Halloway  was  received  this

eral Brady : 

"  Senator  Morton  passed  another  comfortable 
night  He  had  some  diarrhea  yesterday,  and  is 
very  weak  to-day,  but  all  symptoms  are  favor- 
able." 

Richmond,  Ind..  Aug.  30. — The  report  last 
night  that  John  Morton,  the  son  of  Sena- 
tor Morton,  was  dying  when  the  last 
steamer  left  Alaska,  is  pronounced  untrue 
by  a  member  of  the  Senator's  family,  who 
received  a  letter  -written  by  John  Morton 
himself  upon  the  departure  of  the  ves- 
sel. He  had  been  iU,  but  was  con- 
valescent, although  he  considered  it  injudicious 
to  undertake  a  long  journey  until  he  was  strong- 
er.    Senator  Morton  is  improving  slowly.

London,  Aug.  30.-!-The  Kmes"  military 
correspondent  at  Bucharest  telegraphs.:  "  For 
the  moment  interest  concentrates  itself  again 
on  Plevna,  where  Osman  Pasha  is  strongly  re- 
inforced by  men  from  Suleiman  Pasha  and 
guns  from  Widdin.  He  is  now  cred- 
ited with  200  guns,  and  ought  to  make 
a  good  defense,  but  if  defeated  the 
Turkish  loss  will  be  irreparable  in  the  face  of 
an  immenselv  superior  Russian  cavalry.  Osman 
Pasha's  defeat  would,  moreover,  immediately 
give  the  Russians  force  enough,  even  without 
the  coming  Guards,  to  push  again  over  the 
Balkans.*' 

The  second  edition  of  tha.  Stamlnrd  has  an 
Adrianople  dispatch  datgg  1  o'clock  this  mom- 
ing which  says :  "  Troops  are  pouring 
to  the  front  at  thS  rate  of  5.000  per 
day.  These  battalions  come  from  Batoum. 
Large  numbers  of  .\Ibanian  volunteers  are  ar- 
riving to  join  Suleiman  Pasha.  They  have  ex- 
changed their  old  guns  for  Martini-Henry  rifles. 
No  decisive'action  will  take  place  at  the  Schipka 
Pass  until  the  arrival  of  reinforcements  on  one 
or  both  sides."  <.™^ 

The  Sfaniiard's  correspondent  at  the  Russian 
head-quarters  telegraphs,  under  date  of  Mon- 
day, as  follows  :  *■  The  losses  up  to  the  present 
time  are  no  less  than  12,000  on  both  sides. 
Gabrova  is  full  of  wounded.  It  is"  rumored  that 
Gens.  Radetsky  and  Demtrosky  are  wounded. 
Prince  Jliraky  seems  still  to  be  between 
Selvi  and  Loftscha,  but  communication  is  so 
difficult  that  the  fact  is  uncertain.  Bebrova 
has  been  burned  by  irregvUars  from.  Kai=grad." 

LoNi>ON.  Aug.  30. — A  Russian  bulletin  says 
the  Russian  losses  in  wounded  in  Schipka  up  to 
the  2Sth  inst.  were  2.7.'51. 

The  Vienna  correspondent  of  the  Tituf-t.  re- 
mar'tcing  on  the  recent  replarementof  Mahmoud 
l.'amad  Pasha  at  tho  War  Office,  where 
he  has  been  supreme  since  the  fall 
c^  Redif  Pasha,  says :  "  It  is  believed 
lit  Constantinople  that  3Iahmoud  Damad 
is  responsible  for  ordering  the  -vvasteful  attack 
on  the  Schirtka  Pass.  The  hea-.-y  losses  thore 
incurred,  without  a  corresponding  succes,  stem 
to  have  made  the  .Sultan  accessible  to  the  advice 
of-those  who  represented  to  him  the  forcing  of 
the  Schipka  Pass  as  a  great  fault." 

Constantinople.  Aug.  30.— Suleiman  Pasha 
tolesraphs  the  followins.  dated  Aug.  20 : 
'*^Ve  continue  to  blockade  the  enemy 
and  threaten  his  retreat  by  the  Gabrova 
road.  There  has  been  some  artillery  firing 
to-day.  Our  outposts  exchanged  nustiet-shots 
with  the  enemy.  A  reconuoi.isar.ie  in  the 
vicinity  of  Gabrova  shows  that  the  Russians 
occupy'Ehilagatch,  three  hours'  march  this  side 
of  Gabrova." 

LoxDON,  Aug.  .31. — The  DoHy  -Vfic*' corre- 
spondent, telegrap-  .;  from  the  Schipka  Pass 
on  Aug.  25,  gives  a  detailed  account  of 
the  Russian  attempt  to  capture  the 
reVloubt  which  the  Turks  constructed 
S")  as  to  sweep  the  road  in  the 
Russian  rear.  iThis redoubt  is  still  untaken.  and 
it  constitutes  a  great  danger  to  the  Russians,  as 
it  gives  the  Turks  possession  of  a  ridge  running 
parallel  to  that  up  which, the  road  winds,  1.500 
yards  distant.  The  redoubt  enlilades  the  road 
in  several  places,  and  the  Turkish  infantry,  by 
extending  along  this  ridge,  which  is 
thickly  wooded,  can  practically  render  the 
road  impassable.  It  was  on  tSis  road  that 
Gen.  Dragomiroff  v.-as  wounded  and  that  to-day 
Gen.  Dragetaky  (!)  was  killed  at  a  point  fully  a 
mile  on  our  side  of  the  summit  of  the  pass. 
Men  are  picked  off  by  Turkish  skirmishers 
two  mile^  behind  the  pass.  It  will  be 
seen.  therefore,  that  the  Russian 
iKisition  still  remains  most  critical  in  spite  of 
reinforcements.  Gen.  Radetzky.  indeed,  in- 
formed the  commandant  of  Gabrova  the  day 
after  his  arrival  that  he  had  better  warn  the  in- 
habitants to  be  ready  to  fly  at  a  moment's  notice. 

Gen.  Radetzky  (as  appears  from  the  JN'ewV 
telegram)  on  the  25th  attacked  the  Turki-sh 
redoubt  from  the  direction  of  the  pa.ss  and  also 
from  the  Gabrova  side.  There  was  continuous 
musketry  and  artillery  fire  for  hours.  The 
Russians  advanced  under  cover  of  the  trees. 
which  were,  however,  too  small  to  afford 
good  shelter.  In  a  short  time  they  reached 
within  50  yards  of  the  redoubt.  Here 
they  found  the  Turks  had  cut  down  the 
trees  around  the  redoubt,  makintr  an  ahattis 
over  which  it  was  almost  impossible  to 
p-*ss.  They  gathered  around  the  edge  and 
suvldenly  made  a  rush  for  it.  but  were  driven 
back  with  fearful  l">ss.  The  soldiers  became  en- 
tangled in  the  masses  of  brushwood,  and  trunks 
and  limbs  of  trees,  over  which  they 
were  obliged  to  scramble,  while  the 
Turks  poured  in  a  terrible  fire  upon 
them_^At  this  short  distance  it  mowed 
thelfi  37>wn  like  grass.  0£  the  first  as- 
sault against  the  redoubt,  in  which  one 
company  was  engaged,  very  few  got  back 
to  tell  the  tale.  Gen.  Radetsky  sent  reinforce- 
ments and  the  attack  be;:an  again,  but  disposi- 
tions were  made  to  place  a  large  force 
in  such  positions  that  .  it  could  pour 
a  heavy  Are  into  the  redoubt  to  cover  the  assault 
until  tte  assailants  were  almost  up  to  the  para- 
pet- "This  attack  seemed  almost  on  the  point  of 
success,  for  the  Colonel  in  command  said 
hat  if  the  reserves  were  given  to  him  he  coiUd 
(ake  the  redoubt,  liie  officer  in  command  of 
the  reserves  let  them  go.  but  they  were 
nevertheless  repulsed.  'fhe  next  assanlt 
was  made  under  the  eye  of  Radetzky 
and  part  of  his  staff.  Gen.  Dimitriof- 
sky.  Chief  of  Staff,  placed  himself  at 
the  head  of  the  storming  battalion, 
although  he  had  to  be  supported  by 
two  men.  as  he  had  just  previously 
been  stunned  by  earth  tltcown  up  by  an  explod- 
ing shell.  The  RusoiaUs  advanced  steadily.  "They 
rushed  over  or  through  the  abattis;  they  even 
got  into  the  redoubt,  and  actually  held  it  for 
a  few  seconds,  but  were  driven  out  again 
They  surrounded  the  place  on  all  sides,  pouring 
into  it  a  terrible  fire,  but  were  again  driven 
back.  In  the  meantime  the  Turks,  to 
support  the  defense.  began  in  their 
turn  to  attack  the  Russian  positions  in  the 
pass  from  the  front  and  rear.  The  Ru.ssian 
losses  must  be  very  heavy,  for  the  fight 
continued  until  late  at  night,  and  the  wounded 
wete  coming  back  steadily  all  the  time.  "To 
sum  up,  the  attack  has  been  unsuccessful,  rein- 
forcements are  arriving,  and  the  fight  will  prob- 
ably be  continued  to-morrow,  (Sunday.) 

SERVIA  AND  TrE  NEVTRAL  POWERS. 

BRITISH     REMONSTRANCE     AGAIXST     SERVIAN 
PARTICIPATION — THE  OTHER  POWERS. 

London,  Aug.  30. — ^Beuter's  Paris  dis- 
patch says  it  is  reported  that  the 
British  Consul-General  at  Belcrade  has 
seriously  remonstrated  with  Prince  Milan 
relative  to  the  attitude  of  Servia,  declar- 
ing that  if  the  Servians  are  defeated  the  princi- 
paJifr  would  be  abandoned  to  the  discretion  of 
the  Turks. 

LONnON.  Aug.  31. — The  Pesther  Lloyd  (news- 
paper) states  positively  that  the  powers  have 
aiTived  at  an  understanding  thattneir  neutral- 
ity shall  remain  unaltered  notwithstanding  the 
miBtary  alliance  between  Servia  and  Russia. 

The  Times'  Belgrade  dispatch,  dated  Aug. 
30,  contains  the  following:  "It  is  generally 
believed  that  in  a  few  days  a  state  of  siege 
will  be  proclaimed  in  Servia.  A  circtilar 
issued  by  the  Minister  of  War  informs  the 
ofleers  that  they  are  required  to  be  ready  at  the 
first  call,  and  forbids  them  from  contracting 
marriage.  It  is  commonly  believed,  however, 
that  imleas  Russia  gains  decided  victories 
there  is  little  prospect  that  Servia  will 
take  the  field.  Gen.  Horvatowitch  main- 
tained in  the  last  council  of  war  that  the 
country  was  not  ready,  and  that  he  would  not 
approve  entering  into  action  tmless  there  was  a 
probability  of  success.  At  the  same  time  it  was 
thought  well  to  be  ready,  and  the  mobilization 
of  the  whole  Army  was  agreed  upon." 

The  TitMt'  'Vienna  dispatch  says  :  "  Trust- 
worthy information  from  Athens  snows  that  the 
Greeks     are  also  .  holding    back, .'  both    he- 


cause  military  preparations  are  behindhand 
and  also  because  it  seems  certain  that'  the 
Russians  cannot  end  the  war  'this  year. 
The  correspondent  says  these  considerations 
seem  to  have  told  as  not  only  has  an 
order  gone  forth  from  Athens  to  discourage  any 
movement  in  Epims,  Thessally  or  Crete, 
but  the  Greek  Government  has  of- 
fered to  co-operate  with  the  Turks  to 
suppress  brigandage  along  the  frontier,  which 
had  already  begun  as  the  usual  precursor  of  m- 
surrection.  As  long  as  the  former  favor  the 
Turks,  they  may  therefore  consider  themselves 
tolerably  safe  from  that  side."

RUN  ON  THE  FIDELITY  BANK — ALL  DEMANDS 
PROMPTLY  MET— DEPLORABLE  CONDITION 
OF  THE  STATE   SAVINGS  INSTITUTION. 
SpfHal Ditpateh  to  th£  Ifno-Tork  Ttmtg. 

Chicago,  Aug.  30. — The  panic  among 
the  depositors  of  the  Fidelity  Savings  Bank 
continued  to-day.  The  run  was  continuous 
throughout  At  an  early  hour  the  crowd  gath- 
ered in  the  vicinity  of  the  bank  on  Randolph- 
street,  and  by  10  o'clock,"  when  the  dpors 
were  thrown  open,  there  was  a  line  reselling 
around  the  comer  of  La  Salle-street.  The  Pay- 
ing Teller  opened  his  window  promptly  on  time, 
and  rile  paying  commenced.  The  needy  got  all 
they  desired,  and  all  obtained  what-ffiey  were 
entitled  to  under  the  rules  of  that  institution 
and  the  contracts  with  the  depositors.  While 
the  nm"^^"  seemed  heavy,  the  deposit- 
ors were  not  few  who  have  faith 
in  the.iutegrity  of  the  officers  of  the  bank,  and 
they  propose  to  stand  by  them.  Thus  far,  since 
Monday,  but  two  notices  of  proposals  to  close 
accounts  have  been  received,  and  the  two  to- 
gether amount  only  to  $260^  The  Fidelity  is 
believed  to  be  perfectly  solvent,  with  assets 
more  than  sulBcient  to  pay  aU  debts.  The  ofll- 
cers  are'determined  to  stand  by  the  bank  and 
its  depositors.  President  J.  C.  Haines  stated 
emphatically  that  he  had  been  through  three 
such  runs,  and  that  he  was  prepared— to.  go  \ 
through  this.  The  depositors  wetlTfi  be  paid 
everything,  and  the  bank  would  continue  open 
as  usual. 

Further  examination  into  the  resources  of 
the  State  Savings  Institution  discloses  the  fact 
that  the  Assignee  will  not  be  able  to  realize  more 
than  $600,000  on  everjthing,  including  moi|t- 
gage  loans,  collater^s,  bank  builWug,  &c. — in 
fact  every  individual  thing  Tfi*ft  can  by  any 
means. be  turned  into  money.  X  resident  of 
New-York  City.  Robert  bayard,  will  QiM 
himself  among'the  collaterals  of  the  concern, 
as  be  held  200  shares  of  stock  which  he  failed 
to  dispose  of  in  time  to  save  himself  from 
liability  to  depositors  in  an  event  of  this  kind. 
'The  missing  of5cer.-i  of  the  bank  are  still  safely 
hidden  away.  Spen<-er,  it  is  believe<l,  is  on  the 
Atlantic  en  route  to  Europe. 


Ditpo^eK  (o  t)u  AsaociaUd  Prfta. 

Chicago,  Aug.  30.— The  dissatisfaction  which 
depositors  in  the  State  Savings  Bank  have  felt 
with  the  appointment  -by  its  oflicers  of  Col. 
Abner  Taylor  as  Assignee  was  not  abated  to- 
day by  a  notice  from  that  gentleman  that 
he  would  be  pleased  to  have  a  committee 
of  three  appointed  by.  -the  depositors 
to  assist  him  m  his  investigation.  This  after- 
noon '  at  2  o'clock  an  uproarious  meeting  was 
held  by  the  depositorsin  Market-square,  and  after 
much  speaking  aiid  quarreling,  John  Wentworth, 
L.  Z.  Leiter.  T.  A.  Moran,  Bernard  Callagtian. 
and  Michael  Kelley  were  appointed  a  committee 
to  call  a  meeting  of  depositors  only  in  some  hall 
to  take  measures  to  have  another  .Assignee  ap- 
pointed by  the  court.  Some  peculiar  and  sus- 
nicious-looking  transactions  have  been  lin^ 
earthed  by  which  the  officers  of  the  bank, 
during  it.s'lsst  10  day.'j,  got  a  number  of  mort- 
gages, notes,  &c.,  which  the  bank  held  against 
them,  and  by  which  they  transferred  to  the 
bank  their  stock  and  took'  up  the  notes,  mort- 
gages, and  other  obligations  as  equivalents. 

The  morning  papers  will  publish  the  minutes 
of  meetings  held  and  the  records  of  stock  trans- 
fers, which,  taken  together,  constitute  an  ar- 
raignment of  the  officers  which  places  them 
in  a  criminal  light.  The  bank's  os-sets  are  like- 
ly, under  sure  developments  to  shrink  to  almost 
a  nominal  figure,  "rhe  bank  itself  is  its  own 
principal  stockholder,  the  officers  having  real- 
ized on  nearly  the  whole  of  their  stock. 
The  absconding  oflicers  have  not  been  heard 
from,  and  the  general  opinion  is  that  they  will 
not  return  to  Chicago  in  the  present  mood  of 
the  defrauded  depositors.  It  would  be  with 
personal  risk  that  they  did  so. 

SALE  OF  A  SUG.iR  REFINERY. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  Aug.  30.— The'  Balti- 
more Steam  Sugar  Refinery  was  offered  by  auc- 
tion this  moming.  under  a  deed  of  trust  exe- 
cuted by  Woods,  Weeks  &  Co.,  and  knocked 
down  to  Mr.  George  B.  Graham  at  a  bid  of 
$52,500.  This  r«flnery  had  been  in  successfu 
operation  for  25  years,  until  a  few  weeks  past  • 
The  buildings _cover  a  square  of  ground,  bounded 
by  Lombard-and  Concord  streets.  Market  Space 
and  Jones  Falls.  The  Kveninq  Xews  says:  "The 
ridiculously  low  figure  at  which  the  establish- 
ment sold  will  become  apparent,  when  It  is 
known  that  its  cost  was  nearly  $500,000,  and 
that  it  would  take  over  $197,000  to  replace 
the  machinery  alone."

against  Henry  Bailey,  of  Lorraine,  Jefferson 
County,-  one  of  the  Commissioners  for  loaning 
certain  moneys  of  the  United  States  in  the

oath  provided  for  those  applying  to  borrow 
moneys  ;  thatrKe  failed  to  keep  a  minute  book  ; 
that  he  loaned  money  to  himself  on  mortgage 
without  the  signature  of  his  wife  to  the  mort- 
g-age,  and  that  he  loaned  money  on  land  the 
ritle  to  which  was  defective.

NA  VAL  OFFICER  COBS^LUS  POSITION. 

HIS  ACTION  IN  VIOLATING  THE  PRESIDENT'S 
^QRDEB  TO  BE  CONSIDERED  IN  THE  ORDI- 
NARY ROUTINE  OP  EXECDTIVE  BUSINESS 
— AVACAKCT  IN  THj:  OFFICE  PROBABLE 
AT   AN   EARLY  DAY? 

SpteUa  DSspatOi  Vt  Che  yeio-York  TUteM. 

Washington;  Aug.  80.^— If  Naval  Officer 
Cornell,  in  deliberately  violating  the  Executive 
order  ^ith  reference  to  the  conduce  tfe^  ob- 
served by  Government  officers  in  relation  ^t. 
elections,  expects  to  gain  a  martyr's  crowia,  ne  " 
will  be  disappointed.  There  is  no  disposrf^on 
on  the  part  of  the  President  to  wildly  flyatTlr. 
Cornell  and  order  Mite  summary  decapitation. 
The  President  is  slow  to  wrath,  but 
will  be  quick  to  punishment  in  all 
such  cases  as  that  presented  by  Mr.   Cornell. 

^he  Naval  Officer  at  New- York  is  no  more  to  tho 
President  than  any  other  subordinate,  and  he 
will  be  deceived  if  he  expects  to  receive  specLil 
consideration.  Mr.  Cornell's  case  will  be  taken 
up  and  determined  in  routine  order,  without  re- 
c:ard  to  that  ^gentleman's  desires  and  without 
any  special  effort  being  made  for  dramatic  effect. 
No  special  importance  seems  to  be  atta^ed  ^ 
this  case  at  the  White  House  and  TreMury 
Department.  The  published  statementr  that 
there  is  an  understanding  between  the  Presi- 
dent and  Cornell  as  to  the  time  wh0n  tho  latter 
shall retiremim  the managemed^Tfif  ^j^e  politi- 
cal machine  is  without  foundation  in  fact,  and 
was  this  moming  denied  by  the  President  in  an 
interview  with  The  Times  correspondent.  The 
President  exhibits  no  feeling  whatever  over 
ComeU's  defiance,  and  evidently  proposes  to 
act  with  the  same  quiet  dignity  and  composiiro, 
when  the  conduct  of  the  Naval  Officer  shall  have 
been  officially  communicated,  as  he  would  if  the 
offender  of  the  Executive  order  were  an  officer 
of4ower  grade  and  less  pretentious  than  if r. 
Cornell.  An  official  investigation  of  Mr.  Cor- 
nell's offense  has  been  ordered,  and  the^e  can 
be  but  one  opinion  as  to  what  the  result  will  be. 
Mr.  Cornell  fumi^k£s  the  first  opportunity  to 
enable  the  Prcsriclent  to  illustrate  his  sincerity 
in  reforming  trrferavil  ser^'ice,  and  he  will  not 
hesitate  to  improve — it- -nor  be  deterred 
by  the  real  or'  fancied  importance  and 
conspicuousness  of  the  offender.  Over  liis  twn 
signature  the  President  has  said :  "  No  officer 
should  be  required  or  permitted  to  take  part  in  - 
the  management  of  political  organizations,  cau- 
cuses, c^vcntions,  or  election  campaigns.  This 
rule  is  applicable  to  every  department  of  the 
civil  service.  It  should  be  understood  by 
everv  offlcerof  the  General  Government  that  he 
is  expected  to  conform  his  conduct  to  its  re- 
quirements." 

*'  Referring  to  this  order  this  moming,  the  Pre.'- 
ident  remarked  :  "  That  is  a  good  order.     Evi- 

\dence  accumulates  daily  showing  not  only  that 
ft  is  right,  but  tiiat  it  is  popular.  I  mean  strictly 
t^nforce  it,  and  anybody  who  comes  under  it — 
anybody,"  repeated  the  President  with  empha- 
.Ms.  "who  violates  it  will  be  removed."  In 
reply  to  the  direct  question  whether-Mr.  Cornell 
would  be  removed  for  his  bold  disreirard  of  the 
cM^r,  the  President  said  in  his  usual  good- 
kumored  matfflgi.:  **  Don't  get  me  down  to  de- 
tails. I  dcm'l  believe  MjCgiJorneU  means  to  be 
defiant,  and  don't  know  as  yet^4hart-he  has  vio- 
lated the  order.  I  can  only  repeat  that  any- 
body "  {with  great  emphasis  on  anybody)  "  who 
violates  that  orde*r  will  be  removed."       ^'~' 

The  general  impression  here  is  that  a  formal 
investigatidh,  of 'this  case  will  be  tnade  upon 
the  receipt  of  the  report.  Should  tho  facts  >«e 
as  published  in  the  newspapers,  Mr.  Cornell  will 
be  invited  to  resign  the  public  service.  The 
voluntary  and  deiiberato^^6t-TJf*~?va5al  Officer 
Cornell,  in  taking  "part  in  tho  managentwit  of 
political  organizationsy  in  violation  of  the 
Executive  order  of /June  22,  and  the  in- 
structions of  the  Treasury  Department,  datetl 
July  12,  leaves  the  President  no  choice 
hut  to  apply  tho  penalty  implied  in  the  order 
for  its  violation.  If  Naval  Officer  Cornell  He 
not.temov9d,  no  one  else  who  violates  tlie  Presi.- 
dent's  Civil  Service  order  shouldb  l>e.  It  is 
probable  Secretary  Sherman  will  present  the 
matter  at  the  Cabinet  meeting  to-morrow,  and 
if  the  Secretary  be  supplied  with  official  intelli- 
gence.of  Mr.  Cornell's  disregard  of  tho  Execu- 
tive,,£rc[er,  it  is  quite  likely  the  cme  will  be 
promptly  decided.

VIEWS  OP  GOV.  ROBINSON  AS  ^O  THE 
POLICY  OP  THE  PARTY — DISTINCT  OPIN- 
IONS WITHOUT  ANY  DESIRE  TO  DICTATE. 

Albany,  N;  Y.,  Aug.  30.— The/;ai7vPre.«.i 
will  to-morrow  contain  an  interview  with  Gov. 
Robinson,  of  which  the.  following  is  the  sub- 
stance :  Gov.  Robinson  said  he  had  a  decided 
opinion  as  to  the  true  policy  to  be  pursued  by 
the  Democratic  Party  this  Fill,  but  he  had  no- 
wish  to  dictate.  He  hoped  that  the  very  best 
men  of  the  party  would  be  chosen  from  all  scc- 
tioiis  of  the  State  to  the  convention,  and  what- 
ever their  deliberatiojis  might  be  he  would  be 
satisfied.  StiU,  as  he  had  said,  he  had  dccidijd 
opinions  as  to  the  true  policy  to  be  pur.'jued. 
The  present  State  officers  were  elected  oh  the 
platform  of  reform,  the  prevention  of  fraud  in 
the  canals;  and  in  opposition  to  thieving  rings. 
They  had  done  their  duty  faithfully,  and 
worked  steadily  to  (^kty  out  the  purposes  for 
which  they  were  elect^ai  and  to  now  set  them 
aside  for  other  and  untried  men  would,  in  his 
opinion,  be  bad  policy  and  unjust  to  faithful 
officers.  He  did  not  believp  in  lowering  the 
standard  of  reform  upborne  by  the  Democratic 
Party,  and  thought  that  the  re-election  of  those 
who  had  done  their  duty  so  faithfully  wotild  be 
for  the  best  good  of  all.  This  was  his  decided 
opinion,  and  he  was  willing  that  alt  shoald 
know  it.  He  had  no  wish  to  conceal  liis  opin- 
ions, but,  as  he  had  said,  so  he  repeated,  that  he 
had  no  wish  to  dictate.  j-,         f^

ROBBERY  BY  A  BAUD  OF  TRAMPS. 

Baltimore,  Md^,  Aug,  30. — ^A  number  of 
tramps,  at  a  late  hdur  last  night,  entered  the 
telegraph  o^^gg^gff  Union  Junction,  tied  and

Special  Diiipairh  to  the  Xev-Tork  Ttm's. 

Philadelphia,  Penn,,  Aug.  30.— As  al- 
ready foreshadowed  in  The  New- York  Times, 
the  merchants  of  Philadelphia  who  lost  goods 
by  the  Pittsburg  fire  mean  to  fight  against  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company,  and  at  a  gen-

Whereas,  The  clnim.ints  for  lns«;es  by  fire  during

have  an  nndoul>t*'dly  leiml  claim  on  the  Pennsylvania 
Rjiilroad  Company  for  the  amouTit  of  6&id  losses,  and 
that  they  cannot,  lookine  to  n  speedy  settlement  of 
their  claims,  accept  the  proposition  of  the  Pennsyl-

f«)r  the  payment  of  aaid  losses  within  a  period  not  ex- 
ceeding two  years  from  this  date. 

This  resolution  was  adopted  on  the  opinion 
of  the  ctiunsel  of  the  merchants.  John  Fallon. 
Esq..  who,  in  a  long  letter  to  the  merchants, 
advised  the  course  because  he  said  that  the 
county  of  Allegheny  may  put  in  a  claim  that  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company  was  a  partv  to 
the  riot,  and  therefore  responsible  for  if.  'The 
bills  of  ladiug  held  by  many  of  the  shippers 
contain  a.  cl**use  relating  to' loss  by  fire,  claim- 
ing the  benefit  of  anv  insurance-the  owner  may 
have  on  the  goods,  whereby  their  liability  as 
carriers  is  most  distinctly  recognized,  for  other- 
wise they  would  not  require  the  benefit  of  the 
insurance  in  relief  of  that  liability.  It  is  con- 
trary to  the  spirit  of  the  law,  ami  to — well 
established  principles  that  a  contract  of  a 
common  carrier  and  the  liabilities  arisingthere- 
from  should  be  thua  changed  by  the  terms  of 
the  bill  of  lading  is,sued.  The  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  Company  are  thus  liable  for  goods  de- 
stroyed by  firo  while  in  their  custody  as  com- 
mon-carriers, irrespective  of  any  clause  to  t lie 
contrary  in  their  bills  of  lading.  Besides,  liti- 
gation with  Allegheny  Coimly  is  much  more 
likely  to  consum^  time  and  is  nmch  more  im- 
certain  as  to  the  nnal  result  than  is  the  claim 
against  the  railroad  company.  Further,  the 
Pennsylvania  R ail roadT  Company,  while  not  ex- 
actly the  owners  of  tho  goods  destroyed,  have  a 
right  of  property  in  it  sufficient  to  enable  it  to 
protect  it  and  to  bring  action  against  Allegheny 
County  to  re'cover  damages  for  its  destruction, 
and  if  they  pay  the  claims  they  have  redress  in 
this  direction.

_Watertown,  X.  Y.,  Aug.  30.— The  Uni- 
versalist  State  Convention  closed  to-day.  The 
report  of  tho  Auditing  Committee  showed  that 
the  disbursements  of  the  relief  fund  aggregated 
.f25,000,  leaving  a  small  balance  on  hand. 
The  case  of  Rev.  C.  P.  McCarthy,  of  New- York, 
came  up  for  final  action  on  the  report  of  the 
Committee  on  Fellowship,  Ordination,  and  Dis- 
cipline. Tho  report'  stated  that  ho  had  become 
Pastor  of  f— iin  organization  not  in  fellow- 
ship witli  tlie  Vniversalist  Church ;  one 
in  which  the  dogma  of  emlless  punb*h- 
ment  after  death  constitutes  no  bar  to 
membership,  and  that  his  open  letter  to  the 
committee  tireathes  a  spirit  of  contempt  and  in- 
subordination. Tho  <-ommittee  recommended 
that  his  certilj^Gprte  of  membership  be  revoked, 
which  was  done.  Rev.,  E.  C.  Sweetser.  who 
t>referre<l  the  charges  against  Mr.  McCarthy, 
was  (iissJktisfifKl,  desiring  that  the  latter  should 
be  permanently  suspended  from  the  Church. 
The  case  of  Rev.  S.  T.  Aldrich,  who  was  disfel- 
lowshiped  by  the  Massachusetts  Universal  is  ts, 
but  is  now  preaching  in  this  State  without  a 
license,  occupicnl  considerable  tin^e.  and  was 
finally  referred  to  a  special  eomjuittee.  Tho

RUMOFED  MERCANTILE  DEFALfATIOX. 
.Several  of  the  officers   of  Pinkerton's  Detec- 
tive Agency  were    busy  yesterday  preparing  Tor   the 

mails  and  addressing  to  the  Police  of  other  cities  a 
number  of  circnlar$  offering  a  large  reward  for  the 
apprehension  of  a  fugitive  from  New- York,  and  the 
recovery  of  certain  papers  RupiKwed  to  he  in  his  pes- 
session,  the  return  of  which  are  believed  to  hn  of  vitjil 
interest  to  a  large  business  house  in  this 
City.  It  was  rumored  among  the  sugar  refiners  yes- 
terday, and  was  an  open  secret  in  the  street,  that 
there  had  been  trouble  among  the  ofiQcers  of  the  De 
Castro -&  Donner  JSugar  Refining  C-tmpany,  at  No. 
107  Front-street.  At  least  one  of  the  princip«i%fi^ 
eera  of  the  company  had  been  elevated  to  his  position 
on  account  of  his  thorough  knowledge  of  the  busi- 
ness, without  the  osoal  accompaniment  of  a  con- 
trolling nuipber  of  shares  of  stock,  and  either  the 
peculiar  relations  of  labor  and  capital  or  some  other 
cause  created  dissatisfaction  amon^yf^™®  °^  ^^^ 
large  stockholders.  TUa  trouble,  however,  had  near- 
ly quieted  down  when  about  a  week^  ago  the  welfare 
of  the  company  was  attacked  in  a  new  qaarter,  so 
the  rumor  goea.  by  the  sudden  disappearance  of  Mr. 
Louis  Schmidt,  the  Secretary,  with  the  books,  papers, 
and,  it  ii  alleged,  some  of  the  funds  of  the  company.

ViNELAND,  X.  J.,  Aug.  30.— Evjidenect 
of  the  very  discreditable  character  of  the  trans- 
actions in  which  Father  Vivet  has  "been  en- 
gaged, not  only  witlt  reference  to  the  MaggioU 
burial  case,  but  in  other  important  inst&noea 
continue  to  accumulate.  Tho  facts  "iHmceming 
the  culpable  wrongnloing  of  the  priest,  and  bis 
disproved  misstatements,  wiiich  had  already 
been  given  to  the  readers  of  The  Times,  were 
made  public  here  in  the  Vinelmid  H>H/y  on 
Saturday,  and  excited  renewed  interest  in  th* 
case,  and  since  then  new  facts  hare  been  de 
veloped  which  place  Father  Vivet's  actioin, 
in  allowing  Gregory  to  be  buried  in 
tlie  Catholic  cemetery  after  receiving 
the  sacrament  from  hi*;  hands — a  concession 
which  he  refused  point-blank  to  make  when  fir«t 
appenltHi  to— in  even  a  more  disa^reeble  light 
than  before.  In  Thk  Timks  of  Saturday  last 
there  was  published  the  substance  of  a  lett'»x 
from  Father  Vivet  containing  a  general  denial 
of  all  the  charges  made  against  him,  and  the  3io- 
cusationthat  there  wa**  a  **  money  considjera- 
tion  "  which  influenced  him  to  consent  to  *  Greg- 
ory receiving  t^ristian  hiiiial  was  espr^-ially 
characterized  as  a  deliberate  falsehood,  "xtiado 
tip  through  hatred,  or  to  sen-e  private  ends."  'Now, 
he  has  made  no  such  denial  in  aVineland  paper, 
nor  is  he  likely  to.  Tho  evidence  secured 
against  him  is  too  strong  to  encourage  him  to 
make  an  attempt  at  refutation  of  the  charges, 
singly  or  collectively,  so  far  as  the  question  of  a 
•'  money  consideration  "  is  concerne<l.  If  there 
was  hitherto  any  reason  to  doubt  tho  correct- 
ness of  the  statements  made,  there  is  none  at  all 
now.  Tho  missinjr  link  in  the  evidence  has  been 
supplied  by  the  sister  .of  Mrs.  Gregory,  who  y^.^ 
an  interested  witness  of  tho  various  stages  of 
this  criminating  transaction.  She  says  that 
when  at  last  the  priest  was  persuaded  and  came  to 
administer  consolation  to  the  dying  Gregory*  he 
said  it  would  cost  $100 — ^this  is  her  expression — 
to '*put  him  tlirough.*'  This  is  in  ftill  accord 
with  the  statement  made  by  Mrs.  Gregory  to  a 
neighbor,  when  .»ihe  said  that,  they  expected  to 
pay  the  priest  .*lO0  ^^r  his  services.  The  pay- 
ment of  this  sum  *as  agrood  to  by  Gregory  and, 
his  wife,  but  while  tlie  details  of  the  matter  were 
under  consideration  it  came  to  the  knowledge  of 
the  priest  that  Gregory  was  possessed  of  cei^dn 
property  in  Newark,  and  after  this  his  greed  ^jind. 
grasping  nature  was  all  that  influenced  '.aim. 
The  miserable  pittance  of  5:100  no  longer  sat- 
isfled  him,  and,  making  use  of  priestly  era  ft  and 
the  persuasions  that  he  well  knew  would  have 
their  full  effect  upiJb'his  superstitious  victim-s 
he  succeedetl  in  gaining  the  consent  of  both  to 
a  transfer  of  the  property  from  their  own  hands 
for  the  beneOt  of  the  church.  But  -^en  this 
did  not  content  the  priest,  and  before  the  deed 
vesting  the  church  with  the  absoluto 
title  to  the.  property  -belonging  t*> 
Gre<roiy  was  executed  he  raised  ob- 
jections to  Fiich  an  arrangement.  He 
had  so  worked  upon  their  religitms  faith  and 
their  religious  fears  that  he  had  made  them.  ^ 
willine:  subjects  to  his  caiiri<'e.  Hft  had  gaine4»'^ 
such  power  over  their  minds  that  they  had  no 
will  but  his.  and  were  submissive  to  the  extent 
of  allowing  a  valuable  J)roperty  to  pass  from 
their  hands  without  any  consideration  what- 
ever; and  when  he  found  tlieni  such  dupes  he 
resolved  to  have  a  care  for  T»ersonal  ends.  Ho 
dropped  the  mask.  The  plea  of  the 
necessities  of  the  church  was  left  en- 
tirely out  of  consideration,  and  Father 
Vivet  appeared^  on  the  scene.  It  would 
not  do,  he  said,  to  bestow  the  property  abac- 
lutely  upon  the  church,  since  in  sucb  case — 
these  were  the  very  arguments  ho  iLsed — their 
creditors  would  have  claims  that  the  law  would 
allow,  and  but  little  bene tit*would  thereby  ac- 
crue to  the  church;  but.  in  order  to  save  all 
perplexity  and  trouble,  the  property  mu.'st  be 
conveyed  to  him.  and  he  would  answer  for  its 
safetj".  His  arguments  were  eni*orc<-d  ity  ap- 
peiih  to  their  religious  scruples,  and  he  cou- 
vinced  his  deluded  followers  th;»t  by  consent- 
ing to  such  a  transaction  liiey  would  do 
the  Holy  Catholic  Church  au  Inestiraahlo 
•^.Tvice.  It  was  a  mattrr  of  much  difficolty  for 
him  to  prevail  upon  them  to  do  thtsi.  anU  so 
fearful  was  he  that  they  might  at  tho  last  mo- 
ment refuse  assent  to  his  scheme  that  he  walked 
five  miles  under  the  broiliug  snn  of  the  hottest 
day  in  July  to  secure  the  immediate  attendance  .■y^ 
of  "the  Coinmis^oner  of  Deeds  to  zicknowtedffo"* 
the  articles  of  tran.sfer.  In  th**  fnce  of  surli 
_eyulence.  will  Father  Vivet  slill  deny  thatthera 
was  a  '*  money  consideration  "  in  tlie  matter, 
or  assert  that  the  testimony  of  this  sis- 
ter, who  is  a  good  Catholic,  and  who 
lived  then  "  and  still  lives  iH  the  house  where 
tiregory  died,  does  not  prove  XhuX  he  has  de- 
libcrattdv  falsified  himsell  ?  One  other  transtu*- 
tion  of  ^Father  Vivet  deserves  to  he  nsruie  pub- 
lic in  this  eonnection.  ■  Some  time  in  1871 — and 
names,  dates,  and  full  particular.*;  cjin  be  given 
if  neces.*sary — Father  \  ivei  called  upon  a  geiiTle- 
man  who  made  it  hisbusine.«s  to  draw  up  legal 
papers,  and  requested  him  to  make  out  ^  war- 
rantee deed  of  a  certain  specified  property,  giv- 
ing details,  &c..  and  requeuing  liim 
to  have  the  document  ready  for  execu- 
tion at  fi{  certain  tim'».  The  blank 
deed  was  filled  out,  and  if  if  had  been  proi>eriy 
and  legallv  signed  and  attested  it  would  havt* 
given  Father  Vivet  f^ill  ri^ht  and  tith?  t^  prop- 
erty in  Viucland  worth  at  least  i?4,tMK>  or 
$r».'000  ;  but^  before  it  was  f-igned  and  sea^p^i, 
ropre.«en  tat  ions  were  made  to  tho«e  in  possession 
of  tho  property  of  the  real  charaeter  of  the, 
transfer  which  they  were  about  to  make  at  tli  3 
instif-ation  of  this  priest,  and  they  refused  xim 
neces.sary  signatures.  Foiled  in  this  nefarious 
plan  of  downright  robbery,  the  priest  made,  a 
second  trial,  and  had  a  bond  and  murt. ag^ 
drawn  up  in  roadinos*  for  t-igning.  the  latttir  to 
run  for  one  ye:ir.  at  tho  end  of  which  time,  it 
the  requirerMiits  of  the  obligation  entered  into 
shotitd  Ti<  t  '1.'  satisfied,  he  would  enter  into  full 
po.-^se'is'un  of  the  property.  Fortunately,  tho 
pan  ies  most  interested  after  Father  Vivet  were 
afrnin  prevailed  upon  to  withhold  their  si^na- 
t;ue>i  to  a  document  that  would  have  sh"iT.l\- 
"leprived  them  of  their  home,  and  the  priest's 
plan  was  again  frtistrated.  Even  this  did  not 
discourage  him,  and  he  made  a  third 
trial  to  gain  possession  ot  the  prop- 
erty that  he  coveted,  and  succeeded,  ot 
so  far  accomplished  his  purpose  that  it  is  likely 
to  prove  in  the  end  a  success.  He  had  a  judg 
ment  bond  executed  in  the  sum  of  $4,000,  and 
tnade  paysU«^to  the  Catholic  Church  imzQe- 
diately  uponlF&e  death  of  the  persons  whose  sig- 
natures are  afK.«d  to  the  document.  This  was 
duly  executed.  One  of  these  persons,  the  wife 
of  the  owner  of  the  property,  has  since  died^ 
and  Father  Vivet  is  waiting  patiently  for  tbje 
husband's  death,  whose  demise  will  invest  him 
with  rights  which  but  for  the  intervention  of 
interested  friends  he  would  hold  now.  It  should 
be  remembered  l^at  in  the  two  first  cases  the 
documents,  if  they  had  been  executed,  would 
have  given  Father  Vivet  a  free  title  to  the 
properiv.  and  onlv  when  these  plans  failed  did 
ne  consent  to  the  Church  receiving  the  benefit,

From  Omr  Oma  OrrttcfitmOtttL 

nucHAKEST,  Tuesday,  Aug.  14,  1877. 
The  importance  of  the  infomration  which 
I  have  received  this  morning  from  an  official 
■onrce  is  very  great.  1  slionld  bare  telegraphed 
it  had  it  1>een  poaaible,  bat,  eren  as  it  is,  I  believe 
tbat  The  Tucks  will  have  it  some  time  in  ad- 
vance of  any  other  ftipet.  The  movement  on 
the  lino  Lovdueha-Plema  is  approaching  the 
moment  of  action,  but  matterq  have  essentially 
chanced  within  the  last  four  and  twenty  hours. 
To  uaderstacd  precisely  the  operations  contem- 
plated, it  will  be  necessary  to  give  the  exact 
position  of  the  Russian  forces  which  are  intend- 
ed to  envelop  and  destroy  the  Turkish  Army. 
The  Rtiasians  occupy  a  triangle,  with  their  left 
at  Pyrgos,  their  right  ^t^  NikopoUs,  and  their 
extreme  ape.t  at  Timova.  The  composition  and 
disposition  Of  this  is  as  follows : 

The  Twelfth  Corps,  commanded  by  the  Czar- 
ovritz.  whi  ha?  his  head-q^iarters  at  Kadi  Eeni, 
oa  tlie  rijht  bank  of  the  Ijom,  is  composed  of 
tho  Tweifrh  Division  at  Pyrgosand  the  Thirty- 
third  Division  at  Solamik.  The  Thir- 
teenth Corjis.  composed  of  the  Thirty-flfth  Dl- 
\'ision,  has  its'left  in  communication  with  the 
Thirty-third  Division  west  of  Solamik,  and  the 
First  DivUion  at  Osikova.  The  Eleventh 
Oirps.  at  Eodaibunar,  covers  the  communica- 
tions between  Bisla  and  TlmoVa  with  the  Elev- 
foth  Division,  and,  with  the  Fourte^th 
Division,  commands  the  route  from  Timova 
to  Gahrora :  i*»  head-quarters  are  at  Dren- 
tivn.  The  Ninth  Division  occupies  Selvi,  oppn- 
glte  Lovdscba.  The  Thirtieth  Division  and  the 
First  Brigade  of  the  Thirty-second  Division, 
under  Gen.  Schackosky,  hold  the  ground  south 
of  Paradim,  with  head-qnarters  at  Tepeva.  Gen. 
Krildener,  with  the  Ninth  Corps,  will  move  from 
P.iradim  and  Creta  on  the  Tnrkish  left  wing  at 
i'levna.  The  Third  and  Fourth  Divisions  of 
tho  Roumanian  Army  will  form  the  extreme 
right  of  the  Russian  attack. 

A  brizade  of  chasseurs  crossed  at  Sistova  yes- 
t*»rday  to  reinforce  the  Sixteenth  Division  at 
iltilsateni,  where  are  the  head-<inarters  of  Gen. 
Krildener.  The  Grand  DukeNichoIas  baa  moved 
to  the  village  of  CauMiahala,  three  kilometres 
to  the  north  of  Bolgarani'; — thajhnpeioi  and 
Sta3  to  Karalsin.  in  Bulgarian  Dot  Studen.  a 
point  midway  betweea  Cansmahala  and  Bleia. 
<vhere  he  is  in  no  danger  of  being  cnt  off.  as  he 
wa.s  at  the  Utter  place,  and  whence  he  can  issue 
his  orders  and  generaUy  embarrass  the  opera- 
tions at  any  moment.  The  Second  and  Fifth 
Corps  and  tho  Imperial  Guard  are  on  the  march, 
und  ore  expected  in  the  course  of  the  next  10 
days.  Immediately  after  their  arrival, 
Dperi^ons  are  expected  to  commence 
,'ilong  the  whole  line,  the  chief  object- 
ive point  being  Plevna,  with  whoso 
fall  can  commence  a  serious  movement  toward 
the  Balkans,  for  the  raid  of  Gen.  Gonrkho  has 
u^  yet  been  without  results  on  the  general  issue 
of  the  campaign,  the  Russians  not  iiaving  been 
nnle  to  urilize  thh  capture  of  the  Kazan  and 
Schipka  Passes.  Theoretically  the  strategy  of 
•,the  Russian  Chief  of  Staff  Is  beautiful.  Unfor- 
tunately the  defective  -system  of  the  Intelli- 
Erenre  l)epartment.  eondded,  as  far  as  emissaries 
V  rf  roQcerned.  to  ignorant  Bulgarian  peasants, 
iias  le<l  him  into  a  grave  error,  aad  those  who 
liave  found  fault  with  the  apparent  apathy  of 
Osman  Pasha  in  neglecting  to  take  ad- 
■.  antase  of  the  eolilen  opportunity  of  crushing 
Ui«  f  nemv  before  the  arrival  of  the  40,000  in- 
f.intryaud  7.500  cavalry  which  have  crossed 
the  Danube  within  the  las^lO  days,  forgot  that 
there  wa'  yet  another  thing  which  he  nught  do, 
■1.1  even  with  lesa  danger,  provided  Wat  he 
w-re  certain  of  the  support  of  Suleiman  and 
r^lehprn-^'  Ali.  An  attack  on  the  Russian  right 
wins,  either  at  once  or  during  the  march,  was 
iii'iii-uced,  but  Osman  Pasha  has  proved  his 
talent  by  exactly  the  opposite  combination. 
'I'he  entire  line  from  Plevna  to  Lovdscha  has  been 
r.liundoned,  with  the  exception  of  jnst  a  suffi- 
ciency of  troops  to  hold  it  againstacowp  de  main 
aniX  To  kf-C'p  up  appearances,  and  under  cover  of 
tli,^  ridre  of  hills  he  has  moved  to  Liovdscha, 
whence  he  will  attack  the  Russian  left  wing  as 
f.oon  as  the  turning  moveinentshall  have  com- 
ivienced.  The  Russian  centre  is  toofar  from  its 
"".xtremity  for  the  dispatch  of  efficient  assistance, 
nnd  *&>;  this  movement  is  to  oombined  with  an

Lieut.  Greene,  of  the  United  States  Englnee'r 
{'orps.  who  Is  attached  to  the  imperial  head- 
-3uarTers.  is  nothing  but  a  wretched  mob — two 
r-Kiments  of  infantry,  and  three  batteries  of 
mountain  howitzers.  Both  of  these  divisions,  as 
ihev  are  calie^l  from  courtesy,  have  greatly 
suffered  from  disease,  and  no  one  ever  expects 
m  sec  them  again,  except,  perhaps,  as  returned 
prisoners,  after  tho  war.  Officially,  the  reireat 
i.f  these  Generals  from  Eeki-Saghra  and  T&ni- 
r^aghra  in  accounted  for  by  the  want  of  im- 
.  portani-e  of  the  two  positions  ;  in  reality  they 
were  driven  out  by  superior  numbers,  and  the 
t-vocuation  has  been  followed  by  -scenes  of 
t;ia.ssacre  snch  as  have  not  disgraced  the  Euro- 
jioan  Continent  since  the  days  of  Attila. 

The  whole  valley  of  the  Tundja  is  in  flames. 
Kot  a  Oiristian — man.  woman,  or  child — 
has  been  spared.  Two  American  missionaries 
vrfTO  killed,  as  were  all  the  scholars  and 
teachers,  male  and  female,  of  the  educational 
D.Htalilishments  which  they  directed.  So  soon 
;is  the  Russian  columns  had  evacuated  tho 
villages  which  they  had  occupied  for  a  few  days, 
the  local  Beys  returned  aiKi  killed  all  their 
servants  who  had  waited  upon  the  Giaours ; 
and  in  Eski-Saghra,  once  a  thriving  town  of 
1  S.(H>0  inhabitauts,  nothing  is  left  but  a  heap 
of  smoking  ruins,  among  which  lay  tho  charred 
r^in-iins  of  800  sick  and  wounded  Russian 
soldiers,  who  were  abandoned  upon  the  retreat 
pf  the  Russian  column.  There  is  no  need  of 
ffomraentory  upon  these  atrocities,  which  lasted 
4^  hours,  and  are-  but  the  prologue  to  still 
jjrfster  horrors  in  a  near  future. 

Politically,  the  aspect  of  affairs  Is  entirely 
changed,  and  from  unquestionable  sources  I 
nm  able  to  as-sert  that  not  only  will  there  be  no 
ippositi'in  made  to  the  participation  in  the 
e-trugj;:e  of  Scrvja  aud  Greece,  but  that  these 
ra-pnaTil'lt'S  i.Ur  >e  encouraged  to  commence 
at  •■CC3.  The  'Bjiiance  between  the  three  Em- 
I*ryrs  i.s  considered  here  to  be  a  certainty. 
Austria  will  occupy  Bosnia,  not  as  the  ally,  but 
:is  the  enemy  of  the  Osraanli ;  Germany  will 
keep  down  al!  troubles  in  Poland,  and  Russia 
will  be  aided — materially  if  necoesarj- — to  push 
on  to  Constantinople.  In  tiiemaelves  insignifi- 
cant as  adversaries,  Servia  and  Greece  will  be 
most  useful  to  the  Russian  plans  by  obliging 
the  Turks  to  separate  their  forces,  and 
by  giHng  a  nucleus  to  the  insurrection 
w'hiab  has  so  lone  been  biding  its 
time  in  Thessaly  and  Epirus.  There  will 
he  stirring  events  within  tho  next  month, 
(nd  in  the  ministerial  circles  here  all  hope  has 
been  abandoned  of  a  localization  of  the  strug- 
gle. It  remains  to  be  seen  what  action  will  be 
talcen  in  England  with  this  catalogue  of  murder, 

X,  and  arson  to  throw  in  the  teeth  of  as  ad- 
istrarion  which  would  sacrifice  the  intoests 
of  humanity  to  that  actedilu^'ian  bugbear,  Btis- 
sian  aggression  against  India-  He  would  be  a 
rash  man,  IndeacU  who  would  ventni*  to  predict 
the  future;  y*t,fn>aathe^  look^t)f  sl^dnDOW, 
tbe  chances  are  that  the  year  1878  will  be  the 
date  of  one  of  the  most  bieody  wan  which  has 
ever  been  fought  eii'^e  Enrapeas  Continent. 

A  very  disagreeable  eooilict  of  aatborit7  has 
taken  place  within  the  last  week  between  the 
Roumanians  and  the  Russians  at  Ismail.  The 
Higine  of  the  fire  brigade  at  one  of  the  eon-

town  was  broken  by  a  BuJisian  sbldiar,  who  Jn-

Bucharest,  Monday,  Ang.  13,  1877. 
Midhat  Pasha,  the  illustrious  chief  of  the 
"  Young  Turkey  "  Party,  is  now  in  Vienna,  and 
he  is  there  on  business  whose  issue  if  successful 
will  confirm  the  simame  given  him  by  his  par- 
tisans of  the  greatest  Turkish  statesmah  of 
the  nineteenth  century.  He  -was  bom  in  1822, 
and  is  in  reality  the  son  of  a  Bulgarian  Jew, 
who  embraced  Islamism  in  order  to  make  his 
fortune,  although  since  he  has  become  a  cele- 
brity his  followers  allege  that  his  father  was  a 
Turkish  functionary  of  noble  birth,  and  his 
mother  an  Albanian  chieftain!s  din^hter  of 
blue  blood  and  admirable  beauty  and  intelli- 
gence, and  that  he  has  inherited  all  the  quali- 
ties and  defects  of  this  unruly  but  gallant  race 
of  warriors.  From  his  earliest  childhood  5Iid- 
hat  was  a  hard -student.  At  the  age  of  12  he 
was  a  clerk  in  his  father's  commission-hou.se — 
then  called  a  shop — for  the  sale  of  clothes, 
liquors,  and  general  "fixings."  At  19  Faik 
Effcndi,  member  of  the  Cour  des  Comptes, 
employed  him  as  his  private  Secretary.  Three 
years  later  he  was  sent  into  the  prov- 
inces to  make  a  report  On  the  Snan- 
cial  condition  of  one  of  the  local  adminis- 
tT»tions,  which  so  pleased  the  then  Grand  Vizier 
Reschid  that  he  was  named  Chief  of  Bureau  at 
the  Ministry  of  the  Interior,  and,  after  a  mis- 
sion to  Syria,  Second  Secretary  to  the  Council 
of  Ministers.  At  the  age  of  33  he  was  charged 
with  the  pacification  of  Bulgaria,  which  he  ac- 
complished in  such  a  radical  manner  as  to  show 
that  clemency  is  not  the  leading  trait  of  his 
character.  This  gave  him  the  titles  of  Vizier 
and  Pasha,  and  procured  his  promotion  to  the 
Government  of  Nisch,  where  his  administration 
was  very  eff^tivci  and,  notwithstanding  the  re- 
lentless severity  displayed  toward  the  Rayah 
population,  productive  of  great  benefits  to  the 

province  in  the  construction  of  roads  and  the 
reformation  of  many  local  abuses.  From  Nisch 
he  was  promoted  to  Hastchuk  and  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  Vilayet  of  the  Danube.  The  souve- 
nirs loft  by  him  of  his  focond  residence  here 
only  confirmed  the  previous  judgrment  of  his 
character,  that  no  one  wag  more  sincerely  anx- 
ious for  the  regeneration  of  the  Ottoman  Em- 
pire, nor  a  mora  bitter  enemy  of  its  Christian 
subjects.  Recalled  to  Constantinople  in  lft(>t>. 
he  was  intrusted  with  tho  organization  and  Presi- 
dency of  the  Council  of  State,  which  he  consid- 
ered to  be  the  transition  step  toward  the  definite 
establishment  of  a  constitutional  .regime.  Bag- 
dad was  the  next  theatre  of  hia  projects  of  re- 
form, alwavs  pursued  with  the  same  Intelligent 
activity,  fie  freed  territorial  property  of  a 
number  of  vexations' restrictions,  inaugurated  a 
regular  system  of  military  service,  repre.sscd  the 
depredations  of  the  nomadic  tribes,  and  estab- 
lished an  industrial  college,  o  large  cloth  manu- 
factory, a  service  of  steam-boats  on  tho  Tigris, 
in  the  Persian  Gulf,  and  on  the  Euphrates,  and 
a  tramway  to  connect  Batrdad  and  Kazamieh. 
Appointed  Grand  Vizier  in  1871,  he  was  over- 
thrown at  the  end  of  three  months  by  an  in- 
trigue of  the  Harem,  thanks  to  the  hatred  of  his 
arch  enemj  Mahmoud,  the  leader  of  the  "Old 
Turkey "  or  non-reform  party,  and  from  that 
time  plotted  secretly  for  the  dethrone- 
ment of  Sultan  Abdul  Aziz,  partly ' 
from  revenge,  still  more,  perhaps,  from 
his  hatred  for  Russia,  whose  infiuence  over  the 
feeble  sovereign  was  becoming  predominant. 
Minister,  without  a  portfolio,  under  Mottrad,  be 
narrowly  escaped  a-«s.'issination  at  the  hands  of 
Hassan  Bey.  whom  he  is  accused  of  having  ex- 
cited te  the  murder  of  his  colleague,  but  rival, 
the  Soraskier.  Hussein  Avni,  in  Jane,  1876. 
La.st  Deceml>er  he  was.  for  the  second  time, 
named  Grand  Vizlar,  and  was  able  to  realize  the 
dream  of  his  life — the  promulgation  of  a  Con.stl- 
tution.  Azain  the  intrigues  of  tho  opposition 
prevailed,  and  his  refusal  to  submit  to  the  de- 
mands of  the  great  powers  at  the  conference 
became  an  all-sufflciont  pretext  for  his  downfall 
and  banishment,  the  involuntary  respect  en- 
tertained even  by  his  enemies  for  his  unques- 
tionable abilitv  and  the  strength  of  his  party 
alone  saving  him  from  the  usual  fate  of  Oriental 
statesmen  out  of  power. 

In  person  Miahat  Pasha  Is  short  and  fat,  with 
a  decided  Jewish  physiognomy,  thicit,  black 
beard,  streaked  with  gray,  and  bright,  dark  eyes 
— although  no  one  has  ever  seen  him  without 
spectacles.  He  dresses  like  a  European,  with 
the  exception  of  the  fez.  and  bis  maimers  when 
he  is  excited  have  all  the  animation  of  the  na^ 
tives  of  Western  Europe — or  of  his  own  race. 
He  has  traveled  a  great  deal,  studying  the  ctis- 
toms  and  institutions  of  different  eonotries, 
particularly  from  a  financial  and  administrative 
point  of  view,  with  the  intention  of  obtaining 
soma  day  their  application  to  his  own  country, 
but  he  knows  no  other  foreign  tongue  than 
French,  which  he  speaks  imperfectly.  The 
failures  and  mistakes  of  his  enemies  since  their 
acceoalon  to  power  have  shown  the  Sultan 
that  his  recall  will  soon  become  a  vital , 
necessity,  but  the  exile  feels  his  importance, 
and  makes  his  conditions,  and  I  am  assurml 
that  these  conditions  are  ba.sed  unon  the  rigid 
exclusion  of  all  foreign  intervention  In  the  in- 
ternal affairs  of  the  Ottoman  Empire;  that  he 
has  already  received  the  assurance  directly  from 
his  sovereign  that  his  programme  will  be  ac- 
cepted, and  that  his  presence  in  Vienna  l.s 
continued  with  a  view  to  obtaining  the  co-ope- 
ration of  the  Austro-Hungarian  Cabinet  with 
the  Cabinet  of  St.  James.  He  nroposes  that  it 
shall  be  categorically  established  that  the  occu- 
pation of  any  part  of  the  Ottoman  Empire  by 
either  England  or  Austria,  or  any  other  viola- 
tion of  the  Treaty  of  IS.^C,  except  in  conse- 
qnence  of  a  new  convention  of  a  nature  to  pro- 
tect the  interests  of  Turkey,  shall  be  considered 
a  easiis  hem.  He  will  endeavor  to  conclude 
an  alliance,  offensive  and  defensive,  -with  En- 
gland, and  if  successful  he  will  continue  the 
war  until  he  has  conquered  an  honorable  peace, 
or  until  all  the  resources  of  Turkey  shall  be  ex- 
hausted, "feelin"  convinced  that  England  will 
prevent  the  proclamation  of  a  holy  war,  which 
would  be  our  destruction." 

Should  his  overttires  for  an  alliance  fail,  he 
would  demand  the  mediation  of  England  and 
Austria  for  the  conclusion  of  a  peace  based 
upon  the  principles  contained  in  the  articles  of 
the  Treaty  of  Paris,  or  at  least  of  the  conven- 
tion which  followed  this  treaty.  He  would 
agree,  although  reluctantly,  to  allowing  a 
guarantee  for  the  execution  of  the  proniised 
reforms  in  the  shape  of  a  partial  occupation  of 
the  territorv,  during  the  preliminaries,  on  the 
principle  that  as  the  wtiixMsiWi;!  has  always 
been  taken  as  the  base  of  every  armistice  for 
the  discussion  of  the  condltloBs  of  a  peace,  the 
nartlBl  occupation  by  the  Russian  troops,  of 
Bidgaria  constitutes  in  itself  the  necessary 
guarantee,  without  the  wounding  of  the  senti- 
ment of  national  dignity.  Bow  far  these 
aspirations  of  the  Turkish  statesman  will  be 
realized  remains  to  be  seen,  but  his  political 
profession  of  faith  may  be  resumed  in  his  own 
words:  "I  am  not  the  partisan  of  a  war  A 
Foutrance.  and  although  I  prefer  to  continue  in 
t^e  struggle.  1  am  ready,  shotdd  1  return  to 
power,  to  sign  an  honorable  peace  in  brder  to 
consecrate  all  my  energies  to  the  pacific  re- 
generation of  the  Ottoman  Empire,  and  I 
think  that  I  shall  have  at  my  disposal  the  men 
and  the  resources  ZMcessary  to  the  accomplish- 
ment of  my  task."  Still,  like  other  dimoma- 
tists,  Midhat  Pasha  does  not  say  all  that  he 
means,  and  his  recall  to  Stambonl  -will  only  be 
the  outward  and  visible  sign  that  the  dhances  of 
peace  are  further  off  than  ever,  for  he  is  the 
most  bitter  enemy  of  Russian  policy,  and  his 
apDoistment  to  the  Grand  Vizierate  will  simply 
mean,  "  'War  to  the  death  against  Biusia  !"

the  alleged  forger. .  Before  the  opetung  of  the  court 
Col.  Gessner'a  wife  entered  the  room  accompanied 
by  several  friends.    The  proceedlaga  were   delayed 
for  nearly  an  hour  to  give  time  for  the  return  of  Ely 
B.  Weston  and  CoL  Fellows,  his  counsel,  the  former 
having  he<m  takeu  into  Supreme  Court,  Chambers, 
before  Jmlfre  Van  Brant,  on  a  writ  or  habeas  corpus. 
At     a     Uttle    before    12    he    returned,     accom- 
panied   by     hia     relative     from     Rochester,    and 
by  CoL  Fellows  and  Counselor  OHver.    The  prosecu- 
tion was  represent-ed  by  Assistant  District  Attorney 
HerrluK  and  Mr.  Wheeler  H.  Pecfcham,   and  the  de- 
fense by  Messrs.  John  Qraham  and  C.  Balnbxidgo 
Smith.    Sir.  Weston,  who  waaiexpected  to  be  a  wit- 
ness, was  represented  by  Col.  Follows  and  Mr.  Jarai^s 
Oliver.    As  soon  as  Col.  Gessner  entered  tho  room 
and  was  sented  by  his  wife.  Justice  Daffy  opened 
court  and  called  the.case,  and  Asslj^tant  District  At- 
torney Herring,  without  any  preliminary  remarlcs. 
called  for  John  H.  Torhune,  the  first  witness. 

Mr.  Terhune,  being  sworn,  testified  that  he  was 
Teller  for  Winslow.  Lanier  &  Co..  and  had  l-een  for 
the  Inst  six  years  in  the  same  position.  "The  firm 
is  composed."  he  continued,  "of  J.  F.  D.  Lanier. 
John  W.  Ellis,  Charles  L*anier,  John  S.  Sauzado,  and

The  check  being  handed  to  th*  witness  the  latter 
continued:  "I  should  not  call  that  Mr.  Edward 
Winslpw's  signature ;  tbi*  .lisroiture  is  an  imi- 
tation of  Edward  Winslnw's  sitrnatiiro.'"  Tliis 
questiou  and  answer  were  objected  to  by 
Mr.  Qraham,  but  the  objection  was  over- 
ruled, and  an  exception  taken.  Tho  witness  con- 
tinued :  "  I  am  famiUar  with  the  handwriting  of  the 
employes  of  Win.slow,  Lanier  &  Co.  who  fill  out 
checks  ;  this  is  none  of  their  writlna: ;  the  filliuK  in 
of  this  check  resembles  my  own  handwriting  some- 
what :  I  should  cfiXl  the  rheck  a  forcery."  On  cross- 
examination  by  Mr-  Smith,  the  witness  said  :  '-The

Eubjert  miftter  of  conversation  by  al!  the  merabetit  of 
tho  firm:  Mr.  Edward  Winslow.  Mr.  Sauzado.  Mr. 
ChamtKirlaln,  Mr.  Russell,  and  myself  talked  it  over 
on  the  day  after  the  check  was  dat«d  :  this  conversa- 
tion w.it  after  the  check  hwl  been  certified  ;  I  do  not 
remember  the  day  of  the  week,  and  had  not  seen  the 
check  before  this  conversation  :  I  do  not  know  that 
some  members  of  the  firm  pronounced  It  good." 
"  Wd  you."  Mr.  Smith  asked  "  hear  any  one  -of  the 
members  of  tlie  firm  say  that  ho  had  pronounced 
the  check  good  ?"  This  was  objected  to.  the  ol>- 
jection  was  overruled,  and  an  exception  noted. 

Justice  Duffy  said :  The  members  of  the  firm 
should  be  produced  hero  themselves  to  show  whether 
they  or  any  of  them  signed  the  chock-  Tho  court 
thinks  that,  even  if  the  check  was  at  first  pronounced 
genuine,    if  it  is  a  f  Artery,  they  mijiht  at  flr.-it  have 


i;  \kat 


boon  mistaken,  and  the  mistake  have  been  discovered 
afterwartl." 

sir.  Herrlns— Tho  firm  are  not  the  prosecutors 
In  this  case :  thepeople  are  the  prosecutors. 

Mr.  Graham— We  offer  -to  show  the  conversation 
between  the  members  of  the  firm  when  the  cheek 
was  discussed  by  them  ;  there  would  not  b*a  %o  mnny 
objections  to  this  if  there  was  not  something  wrong 
Bomewhere  outside  of  Col.  <Tessner. 

Tiio  court  excluded  the  offer,  and  ex'-eptlons  were 
taken.  The  witness  continued  :  The  check  had' 
not  been  presented  before  the  certification,  to  mv 
knowledfco :  I  had  heard  uo  member  of  the  firm  speak , 
of  it  before  the  certification,  and  I  dJd  not  afterward 
hear  that  It  had  bocn  presented  l«>fore  the  eertiflca- 
tlon.  (Objection  made  and  overruled,  and  exceptlou 
taken.]  I  have  nut  heard  that  a  che<'k  of  this  kind 
had  been  oresented  and  pronounced  good  :  two  mem- 
bers of  the  firm  are  in  the  City,  and  two  employes 
who  sl^  chocks  :  they  are  Charles  Lanier.  John  S- 
Sanzad,  D.  B.  Stafford  and  Mr.  Ch.*unl)erl«in  :  the 
number  on  the  upper  light  haud  corner  of  the  rheck 
indicates  that  It  has  be«u  lu  the  liauk  of  the  Ucpub- 
Uc. 

The  second  witness  was  Mr.  WilHs  Van  Tine,  Pay- 
ing Teller  of  the  Third  National  Bank.  He  testified 
that  he  had  been  in  that  position  for  about  six  years. 
■  Beinii  shown  the  check  he  continued:  That  la  my 
certification  ;  I  certified  It  between  I'J  and  1  o'clock 
on  tho  Sth  of  December,  1876.  at  the  Third  Nation- 
al Bank  :  it  was  pivsented  by  a  messenger  of  U.  C. 
^^roedman  &  Co.,  a  boy  about  12  years  old  ;  after 
certifying  it  1  returncd'it  to  the  lKrrrau4he  took  jt'

house  ;  I  know  by  the  stamn  on  the  Vomer,  an 
my  receiving  It  from  the  exchange  the  next  mom 
there  was  no  effort  to  learn  whether  IKwas . 
the  boy'R  face  was  familiar  to  me  as  the  ruh«^  of  a 
bank  ;  C.  N.  Jordan  is  tho  Cashier ;  he  1b  in  the 
City  ;  I  have  had  no  conversation  with  him  in  refer 
ence  to  the  check  '  being  pronounced  gotnl 
by  Mr.  Winslow ;  I  do  not  know  whether 
or  not  Freedman  A  Co.  sent  to  Winslow. 
I>anier  &  Co.  to  see  whether  It  was  good  ;  the  check 
has  been  paid  :  U  was  paid  through  the  regular  set- 
tlements with  tho  Clearing-house  the  next  morning 
after  the  date  ;  we  settled  for  them  in  bulk  ;  they  were 
all  paid  together  :  It  lies  with  me  to  make  that  settle- 
ment ;  at  3  In  the  afternoon  when  ther  aro  paid 
they  are  cut ;  thisclieck  was  not  rut,  because  it  was 
diseovoTod  before  3  o'clock  to  l>e  a  forgery  ;  tho  bal- 
ance with  the  neariug-houso  wus  made  between  10 
and  10:30  that  morning  ;  the  chi>ck  ftr>rt  got  Into  our 
posaession  that  morning  at  10:30  and  remained  in

Assistant  District  Attorney  Herring  announced  that 
Mr.  Lanier  iiad  been  sont  for.  and  that  he  was  ex- 
nectod  every  minute ;  but  after  a  long  doluy  be 
failed  to  appear,  and  Ely  B.  Weston  was  called.  Tho 
mention  of  Mr.  AVeston's  name  caused  a  sensation 
In  court,  and  every  eye  was  fliea  upon  him  as  he 
seated  hlm-ieli  on  the  witness-stand. 

Mr.  Herring- Where  is  your  place  of  business  ? 

Mr.  Graham— Do  they  implieate  this  witness  with 
our  client  T 

Mr.  Herring — At  this  stage  we  are  not  called  upon 
to  state  our  posUlgnii.: 

Mr.  Graham — It  is  a  substantial  right  of  Col. 
Gessner  to  know  whether  he  is  chanted  alone,  or  in 
oonnection  with  some  other  person  or  persons.  We 
know  about  thin  man  from  the  newspapers.  News- 
paper statements  become  more  or  less  a  part  of  legal 
f>roceedings.  whether  properly  or  not.  It's  a  start- 
ing thing  to  put  this  man  on  tho  stand,  aftor  what 
has  been  m  the  papers. 

Mr.  Herring— This  is  a  very  startling  demand.  The 
only  person  before  your  honor  Is  Nelson  A.  Geesner. 

Mr.  Graham — If  they  charge  this  man  with  being 
one  of  the  culprita  It  is  operating  a  surprise  upon  the 
court,  if  they  promise  him  immunity  from  punish- 
ment. The  law  recognizes  uo  prosecuting  oflicer 
here.  You  have  a  right  to  do  away  with  the  services 
of  the  District  Attorney  If  you  choose.  If  this  man 
is  to  be  States  evidence,  your  honor  ought  to  know 
it.  The  court  knows  tnatWestoa  bus  been  ar- 
raigned a«  a  great  malefactor.  • 

The  Court — They  aro  prosecuting  CoL  Oessner 
now. 

Mr.  Graham-^upposa  ho.  testifies  agiUnst  Col. 
Gessner  ;  aro  you  going  to  let^him  go  free  f 

Tho  Court — ^That  would  he  a  mattei^for  after  con- 
sideration. 

CoL  Fellows — I  am  the  personal  counsel  for  E.  B. 
Weston. 

Mr.  Graham — A  motion  is  now  made  to  the  court 
that  the  court  tell  U5.  either  of  itself  or  through  tho 
District  Attorney,  whether  this  charge  Is  against 
Gesaner  alone  or  against  him  and  other  .  persons  un- 
known. 

Col.  Fellows  presented  a  motion  that  the  testimony 
ofMr.  Westoa  be  not  received  at  this  time.  "I 
have  nothing,"  he  said  "to  do  with  CoL  Gessner. 
Mr.  Weston  is  brought  here  under  extraordinary  cir- 
cumstances. Nothing  more  startling  has  ever  be^n 
witnessed  in  this  community  than  has  been  experi- 
enced from  first  to  last,  in  this  case. " 

The  Court — By  whomi 

CoL  Fellows— By,  all  who  are  concerned  in  this 
cue. 

Mr.  Herrisfc— Can  a  witness  on  the  dttmd  hove 
counsel  J  ^        — 

CoL  Fellows— I  have  as  much  standing  bore  as  the 
District  Attorney.  This  court  can  turn  out  of  doors 
the  District  Attorney  and  all  who  are  associated  with 
him.  Mr.  Weston  is  nofc  here  upon  a  subpoena. 
The  Question  is  pending  before  the  Supreme  Court 
whether  this  witness  can.  be  held  to  testify  at  all. 
He  was  in  tho  Supreme  Court  at  10  o'clock  this 
n>omlng  on  a  writ  ot  hal>eas  corpus,  and  the  hearing 
was  adjourned  till  1  o'clock  this  afternoon.  Atl 
o'clock  it  was  agtun  T>ostponed  till  10:30  o'clock  to- 
morrow mom  1^.  It  Is  to  be  decided  at  that  time. 
That  is  the  iasue  that  Ib  pending  in  the  higher  cnort. 
They  have  no  righttousethiit  witness  tUl  we  have 
had  a  hearing. 

The  Coort^-The  eouzt  rules  that  he  is  a  good  wit- 
ness for  the  peorfe. 

CoL  FeUows-?rhen,  as  the,  wltnes*'  coonsd,  I  di- 
rect him  to  answer  no  questions. 

Mr.  Graham's  motion  waa  daaied.

kave  Uved  there  foui;  years  this  rildnth ;  1  know  Ge>- 
aer,  theulsoner;  I  was  introduced  to  hk^  In  Jan- 
uary, 1377,  in  Chicago  ;  mv  ncqualntanca  with  him 
was  only  In  January  and  i'ebruary:  we  were  only 
casual  friends ;  theacqnalntonce  continued  in  Chlca- 
p)  uBtil  the  5th  of  April;  I  had  failed  in  hn.'inifess, 
and  he  aided  mo  in  settling  up  my  affairs:  I  did  not 
see  him  after  the  5th  of  Anril  till  the  15tfi  of  May  ;  I 
met  him  in  the  depot  in  Albany,  on  my  way  home  ; 
I  waa  with  him  in  Albany  for  one  day,  and  parted 
with  him  there,  and  went  to  Chicago  ;M.-!aaw  him  in 
Chicago  afterward,  but  do  not  romesiberthe  dates ; 
It  was  not  long  1^ ;  tsaw  him  only  occasional]  v  in 
Chicago,  in  the  evemng,  and  sometimes  in  the  aay- 
time. 

A  small  package  was  here  shoxm  the  witness, 
wrapped  in  a  piece  of  the  Chicago^  TEmiw.  The  pack- 
^ce  wasalarge  white  envelope,  with  three  wax  seals 
on  the  oark.  Mr.  Herring  had  previously  had  the 
contents  on  the  ta!)le  bet'oro  him,  disclosmg  several 
sheets  of  forgers'  tracing  paper,  and  a  number  of 
other  small  pauers.  The  envelope  was  unbroken  at 
the  flaps,  bnt  had  been  cut  at  one  iend.  The  witness, 
after  unwrapping  the  newspaper,  looked  closely  at 
the  envelope  and  contlnned  : 

I  cant  say  that  I  ever  saw  It  before.  {Objected  to, 
overrtiled  and  exceotiowtaken.) 

Mr.  Graham  insisted  that  he  should  be  allowed  to 
see  the  package  before  the  witnesa  was  questioned 
eoncemiug  It.  Mr.  Horrlng.  after  conaiderable  de- 
bating, handed  him  the  envelope,  \vith  the  stipulation 
that  ho  should  oxamlno  only  the  outside,  and  not 
look  at  tho  contents,  which  had  not  yet  been  men- 
tioned. 

Mr.  Gmhnm — HI  look  as  far  as  the  court  allows, 
and  then  move  to  be  allowed  to  look  further.  After 
examining  the  package  Mr.  Graham  objected  to  its 
being  shown  to  tho  witness  until  he-  [Mr.  Graham] 
-  had  seen  the  inside  of  tUft  envelope.  The  objection 
was  overruled,  and  Mr.  ijraham  filed  an  exf-eption. 

The  witness  continued:  I  can't  say  that  I  ever 
saw  this  packaffo  before  :  I  don't  seo  any  marks  on. 
it  that  L  could  recoenlze  It  by:  I  could  not  swean 
that  I  ever  received  It  from  NeL«!on  A.  Gessner  ;  I  re-\ 
ceived  a  package  from  Mr.  Gessner  in  the  Western 
Union  Telegraph  office;  I  think  in  Chicago ;  no 
other  person  that  I  icnew  was  in  the  office  at  the 
time  :  I  cannot  say  whether  it  was  In  a  white  envel- 
op" or  not ;  none  of  Us  ronteuta  were  shown  to  me  ; 
It  was  sealed  witli  wax  :  that  was  on  the  afternoon 
of  the  1 6th  of  August ;  I  rer-eived  only  the  one  packajre 
from  him  J  hctoldme  to  put  it  in -Mr.  Kaufman'K 
s.ifo :  Kaufman  h.-ul  gone  home,  and  I  drove 
home,  and  afterward  wont  t  o  seo  Gessner 
to  toll  bim.  hut  could  not  find  him ; 
I  took  the  package  home  again,  and  my  wife  wanted 
mo  to  take  it  down  town,- but  I  put  it  In  the  stable: 
so  as  not  to  have  any  money  In  the  hon-to ;  I 
wrappe<i  it  in  n  paper,  and  pnt  it  behind  the  sink  in 
my  stable;  that  wat  just  before  night,  on  the  IGth 
of  August :  [  don't  remember  where  I  got  the  paper 
I  WT8pp<^d  it^iji^-  Idid  not  go  to  look  for  it  again. 
but  went>jfcwil"r<^wg.  and  an  officer  arrested  me : 
that  wa^n  the  same  evening  ;  we  went  to  the  Grand 
Pacific  Hotel ;  the  officer  asked  me  for  a  packace 
they  had  seen  OeK.sner  eive  me,  and  I  told  him  where 
It  was  :  the  officers'  nafises  were  Hartman  and  .Ans- 
tin ;  I  know  Jayne :  he  wus  not  present ;  Jayne  wus 
_j_In  the  room  ufterwHr.l:  thev  cjime  after  me  with 
snch  force  that  T  didn't  want  to  tell  them:  .Austin 
came  with  his  fists,  doubled  up.  and  Hartman  with  a 
revolver :  when  I  got  a  sealed  pitckage  from  Go-ssner 
It  w.-v^  4  or  5  o'clock  :  Oessuf^r  said  ho  was  giiiig  owt 
around  that  evening ;  that  wus  nil  that  or- 
curred— ho  just  a^ked  mo  to  take  aire  of  the 
parkaee :  they  wouldn't  let  mo  speak  to  a 
waiter  in  the  hotel,  and  hept  mo  In  a  onck  room 
for  three  days  :  I  can't  sny  that  I  have  sf-en  Ges-t- 
ner'8.,package  slrn^  I  pnt  It  in  the  RT.-ible;  th<»y 
brouRnt  an  opened  nafkage  to  me  an'd  I  had  but  Utile 
fnith  in  them  :  I  henrd  them  nny,  ■•  He  won't  know 
the  dlfferenfe,  and  he'll  rerognize  It."  This  may,  or 
may  not.  he  the  i>ackage  they  brou::ht  me  :  Gessner's 
name  was  on  the  packsgd  that  I  concealed,  and  a  big 
seal  on  the  centre  of  the  back.        '^J^ 

Cross-examined  by  Mr.  Smith— I  t^nk  the  package 
was  in  a  buff  envelope  ;  the  package- he  cave  me  lind 
one  f-rAl  in  the  c^^ntre  ;  Fdidn't  want  to  recogn'iro 
the  packa<ro  :  I  do  not  recognize  the  newRpaper  ;  I 
first  met  Hjirtmaui  Anstin,  and  Juyne  on  the  Sher- 
man Hon5e  Pt  -ps  ;  they  said  quietly  that  I  was  their 
prisoner,  one  standing  on  each  side  of  me  :  I  asked  : 
"  What,  for  ?''  Tioy  said  :.'■  For  for;:erv,*"  and  that 
they  would  read  the  warrant  In  the  hoI^TT  we  drove 
to  the  hotel,  and  they  took  me  well  up  where  there 
were  two  rooms  adjoininir.  back  and  front ;  their's 
waa  the  fro'nt  and  mine  the  back  room  ;  I  had  only 
seven  cents,  but  they  tftok  that  away  from  me  :  then 
they  wanted  me  to  give  them  the  package  that  CoL 
Gessner  had  given  me  ;  Hartman  had  two  revolvers, 
and  he  said  that  I'd  better  tell  right  straight,  and 
pOioted-the  revolver  at  me  ;  finally  they  acreed  that 
If  I  would  tell  them  where  tho  pickago  wa-iconcealeft 
I  could  go  with  them  :  then  I  told  them  where  it  was. 
and  they  went  alone,  refusing  to.let  me  ao  with  thom  ; 
I  was  a  prisoner  all  this  time  ;  Jayne  went  after  the 
package:  they  brought  a  package  to  rae  next  day. 
but  it  did  not  r*'senihle  Gessner's^^ckage ;  It  had 
been  opened ;   they   s:i:d.  In  the/ffori^^room.  "  The 

fool   won't  know    the  diffaumre  :"  wiey  were  po- 

ine  to  (tive  me  a  chanco  to  cet  away,  bui  I  told  them 
that  I  didn't  want  to  (ret  away  :  they  handed  me  b.ick

New. York  Life  Insurance  Company,  tlw  Union  Trast 
Company,  and  the  Third  National  QJank  of  Kew- 
York  ;  wo  got  to  New- York  on  Slonday  morning,

room  fronting  on  Twenty -fourth-street :  thev  said 
that  they  had  no  chargo  to  nako  »giilnst  me  :  they

l<e-direct  examination  by  Mr.  Herring— Did  Jayne 
or  Austin  request  yon  to  swear  to  anythiiig  that  wa* 
not  true  /  A. — They  didn't  ask  mo  to  swear,  but 
Anstlu  said  that  then  I  could  go  homo  ou  Saturday 
nlcht 

Mr.  Herrinc — Did  Jayne  or    Austin    ask  you  to 

swear  as  to  anything  that   was  not  true  '    A.— Yes 

and  no  ;  I  was  not  left  alone'  in  the  Grand  Central 

Depot,   nor  In  the  Grand  Union    Hotel ;     X  never 

stopped  in  the  Grand  Union  Hotel :   the  night  before 

I  was  taken   to  the   Poll<ro   Central   office  I  was  out 

walking  with  Austin,  and  was  left  alone  In  the  Grand 

L'nlomrtn   Broa*lway,   for    half  or  three-quarters  of 

an  hour,  but  Aturin  said  ttiat  If  I  m.v1e  a  move  to 

get  away  he'd  follow  me  to  tho  ends  of  the  earth. 

This  concluded   Mr.   Weston's  examixyition.    Col. 

.said,   as  the  witness  left  _JJ*tf8tahd  :    'Wps- 

wo*  held  under  $'J.0O*)  bail;    he  hsl  been  dis 

chai^odLfrom  the  witne^s-vtaod ;  I  supposo^e  is  now

Detention  unless  he  has  baiL  We  shall  squire  him 
on  the  trial.  *  / 

Col.  Fellows — My  client  was  held  for  this  examina- 
tion only.  How  do  you  know  there  fcrill  be  a  trial  i 
I  presunie  Mr.  Gossner  will  >»e  dischnrged. 

Tfa,e  Ourt — I  shall  hold  him  till  I  make  some  dis- 
position of  this  eatw. 

Justice  Duffy  then  announced  that  he  would  have 
to  udjo\im  the  case,  as  he*  had  to  pit  in  the  Police 
Court  lu  the  afternoon,  and  that  he  could  not  go  on 
tritli  it  to-day  on  account  of  tho  Si>ecial  Sessions. 
Mr.  Herriiu:  said  that  it  would  be  Impossiblo  for  him 
to  attend  on  Saturday,  and  ho  aske«l  for  an  adjourn- 
ment until  Monday.  Mr.  Graham  objected  strongly 
to  an  adjotimment  till  Monday,  on  which  day  the 
^rand  Jury  are  to  meet,  unless  Mr.  Herring  would 
give  Wfrword  that  the  pajkors  In  tho  CAse  should  not 

?o  before  that  boily  until  the  examination  was  over. 
_  [r.  Herring  replied  that  he  conld  ndM)e  bound  by 
any  promises.  Mr.  Graliam  then  sarathat  ho  wonh'l 
have  to  request  that  the  case  go  on  to-day.  If  neces- 
sary, it  could  l)e  taken  before  another  Justice. 

Mr.  Herring — It  is  absolutely  necessary,  for  the 
good  of  the  i>eople.  that  tho  case  should  be  adjourned

cases,  were  brought  into  Supremo  Court,  Cnainoars, 
before  Judge  Van  Brunt,  early  yesterday  momlug, 
in  obedience  to  writs  of  habeas  corpus.  The  prison- 
ers were  handcuffed  together,  and  sat  in  the  back 
part  of  tho  court-room.  There  was  nothing  remark- 
able about  their  M»pearance  or  demeanor,  and  their 
handcuffs  Iwing  hidden  by  their  coat  sleeves  few 
were  awaro  of  their  Identity  with  the  pcrsbn^  whoso

be  bn)ught  V>  the  altention  of  Judge  Van  Brunt,  Mr. 
Marsac,  oftho  District  Attorney's  office,  said  that 
tho  cases  of  Carrerar  and  Hnesied  had  been  adjourn-

toa't  case  would  be  adjourned  to  the  same  time,  be- 
cause of  the  engagement  of  Assistant  District  Attor- 
ney Herring.  Sir.  Oliver,  tho  attorney  for  the  pria- >

THE  WINNERS.  -- 

Saratoga.  N.  Y.,  Aug.  30.— The. curtain  has 
fallen  upon  the  exciting  scenes  of  the  race-track,  the 
people  are  departing,  and  the  trainers  and  stabjenlen 
are  silently  folding  up  their  traps  preparatory  to  the 
heglra  to  Jerome  Park  and  the  Western  courses.  The 
racing  season  has  tisted  42  days,  and  passes  Into  tho 
history  of  the  turf  as  the  mo8t:-hrilliant  series  of 
events  which  has  yrt  VDn^the-attentloa  of  the  Amer- 
ican public.  It  was —  therefore  a  -matter 
of  general  regret'  that  the  attempted  swindle 
yesterday  sliQul<|^5jyiye  interposed  an  obstacle 
to  the  flow  of  contentment,  and  It  is  the  wish  of 
evorj  person  having  the  good  of  the  turf  atha^rTto 
■^e&  tho  perpetrators  brot^t  to  justice.  The  scape- 
goat has  been  reached  and  thus  far  the  only  one  In 
tho  dirty  business  to  suffer,  bnt  the  judge5.iand 
stewards  have  kept  the  matter  open  for  further  con- 
sideration. They  haveMamlned  the  place  whete 
Waller  went  wrong^lmdNollowing  his  tracks  they 
declare  that  ifwaa°"almost  an  impossibility  for  thtf 
horse  \to  go  astray  in  the  manner  he  did  without 
being  >  deliberately  pulled  Bnt  to  return  to 
the  day's  events,  the  weather  was  all  that 
could  be  desired.  The  rifts  of  white  clouds  flitted 
every  moment  across  the  sun.  and  a  gentle  breeze 
kept  the  temperature  d^yn  to  moderation.  The  at- 
tendance was;very  large,  and  the  ra«ng  was  worthy 
the  reputation  of  the  Saratoga  Course.  T|e  truck 
itself  was  in  spleujlid  condition,  and  tho  five  races  on 
tho  card  were  stiibboi  yi^routiMtod.  Tlio  following

~*^fHE    FIVE    FURLONGS. 

The  card  furnished  a  dash  of  five  furlonjrs,  for 
2-year  olds,  to  commence  tho  day's  sport,  and  five 
youngsters  were  ready  for  tho  fray  when  the  bell 
rang.  Tho  field  incloded  Hitchcock's  r.  g.  Specula- 
tion, Rice  &  Bethune's  Duncan  F.  Kenner.  Heo'l's 
Bonnie  Wood  and  McDaniel's  piur  of  fillies  byWajJi

years  showsrt**^^  McDaniel's  luck  comes  wtt^/The 
extra  dny<Jiis  entries  were  the  favorites,  and  In  the 
Ir.st  nool  sold  just  l»efofo  the  start, 
they  brought  $150.  Bonnie  Wood  $70,  Specu- 
lation $85,  and  Duncan:  ^-  Kenner  $30.  The 
youngsters  were  started  half-way  down  the  chute, 
and  after  some  display  of  temper  they  were  sent 
away  to  a  verv  good  start,  bnt  Si>ecnlatIon  went  for- 
ward and  toot  th^  track,  and  at  the  half-mile  pole

THE   MILE   A37D   X  QtraSTER. 

The  attention  of  the  sp^;t^tor3>was  next  directed 
to  the  handicap  for  3-year  olds,  one  mile  and  a 
quarter,  which  brought  to  the  post  the  fiveientries,

three  lengths  the  better  of  Major  Arker.  while 
Bombartiier  was  already  in  trouble  In  the  rear. ' 
Going  along  the  bark  stretch  Bradamante  closed  as 
rtea-iily  as  fnte  on-Lijdy  Salyers.  the  latter  leading 
but  four  lengths  a  little  further  on,  and  but  two 
lencths  of  space  divided^hem.  On  th<»y  went  to  the

m^ntlrae  gjt  within  half  a  length  of  Brartamante's- 
tailLand  was  followed  up  hy  Barker  for  the  final  run. 
Coming  round  the  lower  turn  Bradamante  continued 
to  cloif!  uiion  Salyers.  then  got  to  her  tall,  and -finally, 
when  they  t^imed  Into  tho  homestretch,  they  were  on 
oven  terms,  while  Clark  squared  Maj(>r  Barker  for 
the  struggle  u^  tho  ttretch,  and  Wash  Booth  was  also 
In  close  proxiinlty.  When  they  passed  the  furlong 
pole  Bradamante  had  Lady  Salyers  "cooked"  and 
Major  Bnrker  came  to  the  assistance  of  his  stable 
companion,  while  In  the  meantime  Sparlins  applied 
the  whip  to  Wash  Booth,  who  came  up  as  tf  he  would 
Immediately  take  the  lead  but.  ds  ufaal,  he  swerved 
to  the  inside  again.  Bradamante  was  hs  yet  un-

determining  on  a  favorite,  but  at  length  their  choice 
fell  on  KlngfBee,  who  sold  against  tho  field.  Occa- 
sionally, however,  a  backer  of  a  different  ophdou 
picked  out  Dalgasian.  although  undoubtedly  King 
Bee  remained  the  favorite.  There  were  several  fnl^e 
starts,  but  at  List  Mr.  Conner  got  tho  horses  off  on 
equal  terms.  Battle  F,  Immediately  took  up  the 
runninc.  with  Woodland  second,  Kitfc  Bee  third,  and 
Dftlga'iijin  last.  In  this  order  they  Da;-ed  the  Grand 
^t*"d  and  roundedr-(^  upper  tnm.  At  the  quarter 
pole  Dalgasian  elianged  places  with  Klna  Bee,  and  in 
this  order  they  rushed  d«»wn  the  hack  stretch.  Thev 
then"  closed  up  together  and  came  into  the  homn 
s^-retch  in  a  cluster.  Presently  the  brhfht  red  of 
KingBeecame  to  the  front,  and  the  whip  b<^wi  to 
faB  hea^-ily  on  Woodland  which  was  the  Only  hors* 
that  seemed  to  make  much  effort.  D^^rasian.  at  all 
cvent.s,  did  not  perBev<*re.  ar»l  Hennessy  did  not  press 
Hattie  F.  The  favorite  went  under  the  line  a  winner 
;  by  two  lengths,  with  DalgaKJ.an  second.  HatUe  third, 
■  and  Woodland  last.    Tlie  time  was  2:03^3. 

For  the  next  heat  King  Bee  was  hacke<l  at  three 
to  one  against  tho~field.  In  this  .race  Htighes 
had  the  mount  of  Woodbind  instead  of 
Waller,  but  tho  chanpe  __1tetr  secured  the 
horpo  some  hard  ridlng|^-arid  a  place  In

THE   HimDLE   HAXDICAP. 

The  next  race  was  a  hurdle  handicap  -run  in  mile 
heats.  A  purse  of  $400  was  offered,  ofwhi^$300 
went  to  the  first  horse  and  $100  to  the  second 
entries  were :  J.  G.  Berthuno's  gr.  h.  Derby,  5 
years,  145  pounds,  (Gaffaoy  ;>  J.  G.  K.  Lawrence's  r.* 
h.  Risk.  ^:^^6&rs.  152  pounds,  (SutcUffo ; )  J. 
McGuire's  ch.  h.  New-York,  5  years,  130 
pounds.  (Kolau.)  In  the  pools  Biak  sold  at 
two  to  on©  and  over  against  the  field 
"When  th©  start  was  effected  Risk  and  New-York 
rushed  to  th©  front  and  cleared  the  first  hurdle  to- 

? ether,  Dert^  beinc  a  short  distance  behind  New- 
ork  then  look  the  lead,  and  both  drew  clear  of  Der- 
by. At  the  second  hurdle  Elsk  went  to  the  front, 
but  almost  inuhediately  New- York  resumed  the  com 
mand.  Thev  were  close  together  over  the  third  hur- 
dle, but  Derhy  was  tailed  off  a  good  deal,  (hrer  the 
lasthurdlo  there  was. Uatle  to  choose  between  Xew- 
"VorV  and  RiRk.  SiuTlie  lightly-weighted  honte  had 
slightly  the  advantage.  Coming  up  on  the  flat  there 
a  close  strucgle.  but  the  favorite- could  not  catch 
New- York,  wlio  won  by  a  length  and  a  half.  Time — 
l:5(ii4. 

In  spite  of  his  defeat,  Risk  was  maintained  In 
favor  for  the  second  heat,  BeUinaeven,  and  as  high 
as  $50  to  $40  acainijt  the  field.  There  seemwl  tobe 
no  good  reason  for  this  enthusia«itic  kind  of  confi- 
dence, for,  good  hurdle  racer  though  he  undoubtedly 
is.  the  concession  of  22  potinds  to  Xew-York  bronghi 
the  chances  of  the  two  pretty  closely  together.  Kor 
did  the  baekers  of  Derby  altogether  despair,  for  they 
knew  that  the  horse  might  have  been  much  closer  up 
in  the-first  heat,  and  supposed  no  doubt,  that  h© 
had  been  held  in  reserve.  The.  start  was  by  no 
means  a  good  one,  New-York  getting  away  first.  f(d- 
lowed  by  lUsk.  with  Derby  several  lemrths  behind 
^Bisk- closed  up  with  New- York  before  they  carae  to 
the  first  hurdle,  and  th^  cleared  it  tocether. 
Ac-the  second  hurdle  Rift  took  the  lead,  with 
New-York  at  hia  saddle  ^irthl^  and  Dt-rbv  In  a 
still  worse  position  thau,-«t-th©  start.  New-York 
ajtaln  took  the  lead  and,  after  crossing  the  third 
hurdle  Derby  was  sot  moving,  and  rapidiv  closed  up 
the  gap  between  him  and  the  leaders,  "ifhey  turned 
into  the  straight  together,  but  the  weight 'told  on 
Ki:ik,  and  the  others  drew  away  from  bim.  Derby 
had  rushed  up  so  splendidly  that  many  supposed  he 
was  going  to  win  the  hoot,  bnt  Kew-Yorkwas  slightly 
In  advance  over  the  last  hurdle,  and  once  on  th©  flat 
all  the  sharp  persuasion  that  Gaflfney  could  bring  to 
l»ear  in  th©  shaiw  of  whip  and  spur  could  not  bring 
the  gray  nearer  than  New-York's  saddie-eirtli  as  thev

this  being  the  latter's  first  appearance  during  the 
two  meetings.  A  fine  start  was  effected  from 
tho  three-quarter  pole,  and  th«y  were  aU  pulling, 
but  Courier  kept  in  front  up  th©  stretch,  and  reached 
the  stand  a  length  In  advance  of  Madg©  and  Rh»da- 
manthus.  who  were  dead  level  a  full  length  before 
Australind.  Going  rouq^  tho  turn  Courier  increased 
tho  pace  and  drew  away  irom  nls  competitors,  while 
Sparling  pulled  Madge  behind  Khadamanthus.  When 
tho  quarter  pole  was  reached  Courier  was  leading  a 
length  and  a  half,  .and  R]i  adamant  bus  was  second. 
threo  quarters  of  his  length  ahead  of  Madge. 
who  was  two  lengths  before  Australind. 
The  pace  was  still  better  along  the  buck 
stretch,  and  Madee  shut  np  the  daylight  between  her 
and  Rhaduiuanthus,  but  there  was  stUl  half  a  length 
of  daylight  between  thelatter  and  Courier  until  they 
readied  the  half-milo  pole,  when  Khadamanthus  got 
to  Courier's  tail,  and  Madge  moved  up  and  lapued 
Rhadamanthus  at  the  ^ddle-girth,  while  in  the 
m©antime  Australind  rushedxip  and  was  even  with 
Madge.  When  they  came  round  tho  lower  turn  tbw 
race  was  in  splendid  shape.  Rhadamanthus  rushed 
to  the  saddle-girth  of  Courier,  and  Madge  "followed 
up,  still  lapped  by  A.usualind  the  tw<^  mares 
being  but  a  neck  behind  tho  favorite.  Courier 
strained  every  nerve  to  keep  the  lead,  and  turning 
into  the  home  stretch  ho  had  th©  best  of  Rhadaman- 
thus ny  half  a  length  ttil|*~  They  came  pa»t  the  fur- 
long with  Coolier  still  the  best  of  it  and  the  other 
two  -boaten:— There  was  great  exsU;ement,  and  it 
looked  for  a  moment  as  if  the  favorite  would  meet 
with  defeat.  However,  Courier  began  to  feel  tho 
pace,  and  Swim  drew  the  whip  on  him.  when  there 
was  a  shout  of  triumph  from  the  Jbj^keraa^f  RKaBa^ 
manthus :  but  Courier  came  aw^nfrom  th©  whip, 
and  coutested  everv^lhch  to  the  KoaL  where  Rhada- 
manthus beat  him  by  scarcely  half  a  lengtii,  in  '2:X*i. 
Courier  was  four  lengths  ahead  of  Madge,  who  was 
eight  lengths  before  Australind.

Fivm  the  WasiiiiiQton  Star,  Awj.  28. 
^^ith  the  excursion  party  from  Richmond, 
va.,  yesterday,  under  the  auspices  of  Marshall 
Lodge,  Knights  of  I*ythias,  there  was  a  party  of 
three,  consisting  of  Th»mas  W.  Cocke,  Mar>'Jaue 
Isbell,  (a  very  pretty  blonde,)  and  their  mutual, 
^friend,  Mr.  B.  L.  Jones,  ail  of  Montpelier,  Hanover 
•C'-ounty,  Va.  Mr.  Cocke  and  Miss  Isbell  were 
elopers  from  Virginia,  bent  on  matrimony,  and 
during  the  afternoon  wore  made  man  and  wife'.  The 
couple  were  rather  youthftil.  Mr.  Cocke  being  onlv 
19  years  old  and  tho  bride  two  years  younger,  ft 
appears  from  the  statements  mado  by  tht- ir  friends 
that  the  parents  of  tho  girl  objected  to  Cock©  as  a 
prospective  son-in-law,  and  some  time  since  closed 
4heir  doors  to  him.  "Love  laughs  at  lockfuniths,"' 
bowser,  and  the  lovers  found  opportunities  to  do  a 
littiff  courting  elsewhere.  The  courting  at  home  was 
donf  by  proxy — Mr.  Jones  acting  th©  port  of  a  tru© 
fri^d-^nd  succeeded  admirably. 

Tpe  lovers  and  their  friends,  learning  of  the  pro- 
jected excursion  from  Richmtmd  to  Washington,  ar-- 
ranged  to  make  it  the  occasion  of  the  marriage.  Ac- 
cordingly, on  Saturday  evening  Mr.  Jones  visile*!  the 
Isbell  residence,  spending  a  plojisant  afternoon  and 
taking  tea  with  the  family.  While  Jones  was  en- 
joying the  hospitality  of  the  Isbell  family  the  would- 
be  bridegroom.  Mr.  Cocke,  was  secreted  In  a  bunch 
of  woods  about  400  yards  from  the  house,  ready 
mounted  on  horseback,  and  Mr.  Chceseman,  a  friend 
of-Ws,had  three  other  horsos  rea<U- saddled  behind 
the  ice-house.  After  tea  the  elder  Isbell  lay  ba<k  t 0 
enjoy  a  smoke,  and  Mr.  Jones  invited  the  yoaager 
Isbeil  out^ldo  to  talk  about  trading  saddles  ;  aud  In 
the  meanjiiH^Miss  lRt>oll  fixed  up  a  few  articles  of 
clothing,\slipped  them  out  to  Cbee>eman,  who 
strapped  Vtf  bundle  on  the  back  of  bis  saddle, 
and  then,  liounting  the  horse  saddled  for  her, 
she  soon  joined  her  affianced  yia  th©  woods. 
as  did  also  the  faithful  Mr.  Jones  and  his 
friend  Cheeseman,  aud  all  four  started  on  their 
journey.  Apprehending  that  they  would  be  pursued 
they  kept  in  the  woods  as  much  as  possible,  emeiK- 
tng  on  the  public  road  some  el^ht  or  ten  miles  from 
their  home.  On  the  road  through  tho  woods  Mr. 
Jones  was  knocked  off  his  horse  by  '  he  limb  of  a 
tree,  and  was  supifosed  to  be  badly  burt.-but  he  had 
started  with  a  determination  to  aid  his  friend,  and 
he  stuck  to  him.  Sir.  Cheeseman  lost  th©  bundle  (the. 
young  lady's  clothing^  off  his  Kaddle.  and  goin^  back 
to  find  it  failed  to  return,  ^nd  it  ts  supposed  tout  he« 
was  overtaken  by  the  father  and  brother  of  tho  girl, 
and  that  he  put  them  on  the  wrong  track. 

The  elopers  rode  swiftly  to  Richmond,  adistance  of 
35  miles,  arriving  there  about  1 1 :30  u'ciock,  making 
the  distance  Tn  about  three  and  a  half  hours,  and 
placing  their  horses  in  a  livery  stable  they  took  the 
train  with  the  other  excursionists  for  this  city.  Ar- 
riving here,  Mr.  Jones  made  known  the  object  of 
their  visit  to  OMcer  Lewis,  but  ho  not  being  able  to 
leave  his  post,  Mr.  Georce  F.  Poulson.  of  the  oaflgago 
departmeti^f  the  Baltimore  and  Potomac  Railroad, 
tendereMm  ser^Hces,  and  took  them  in  charge.  They 
united  ^esLSore  with  business,  and  proceeding  to  the 
City  HbaI  viewed  the  Lincoln  Monument  wuile  Mr. 
Poulson  procured  the  nceea&sry  license,  and  then  the 
party  set  out  to  find  a  minister.  Their  choice  was 
either  a  Methodist  or  Baptist,  but  after  pnx-eedlng 
to  the  residence  of  several,  and  finding  none  at  home. 
they  concluded  to  look  outside  of  these  denomina-

Church,  being  found  at  home,  tbey  had  the  knot  tied

he  had  followed  and  persecuted  her  with  a  view  to 
compel  her  to  return  to  him,  and  had  frequently

The  prisoner,  lieing  enlled  testified  in  rab- 
Btanc©  as  follows :  He  had  been  mar- 
ried to  Mrs.  Jnsersoll  •  18  years  ;  every- 
thing went  well  enough  until  last  tiprimr.  when  tie 
discover»d  a  criminal  intimacy  between  his  wife  aad 
es-. Assemblyman  Jamf«<-  Hayes  :  almut  th*?  lut  t*t 
July  he  saw  Hnyes  and  his  wife  go  into  No.  21 
Charlton-Bireel.  where  thej-rtayed  a  couple  of  houra, 
and  then  came  out  tojetber  ;  two  davs  after  that  h© 
a^ain  saw  his  wife  and  Hayes  ao  into  the  asme  homes': 
Hayes  came  out  alone,  when  he  [Ingersoll]  aocosud 
him  and  chnr;^!  him  with  sednring  his  wife,  and  a 
flirht  ensuM  :  since  that  time  Mrs.  luz^rbf.ll  had  re- 
fa-ied  to  live  with  him.  ami  liad  Wen  support«>d 
by  H.iytii :  Hayes  also  secured  a  political  p^Mutlozi 
for  her  son  ;  bo  had  carried  the  knife  for  self-prtv 
tection  since  the  6th  of  last  month,  because  on  that 
dsy  his  wife  hzwl  told  that  "  he  was  not  fit  to  have  u 
head  on  his  shoalders.  "  and  he  had  felt  that  his  life 
w'fls  in  danger,  and  it  was  imident  for  him  to  be  con- 
stantly prepared  to  defend  himself  j  he  said  he  dl.l 
not,  and  did  not  intend  to,  attack  Mrs.  Ingervoll  or 
Wednesday  nlcht.  but  met  her  by  accident ;  be  did 
n-^t  even  know  she  was  in  the  Cityi  and  only  desizvd 
to  ask  her  to  live  with  him  ajaln. 

Justice  Wandell  wf^nt  :ti:o  a  further  nnd  ext«nde>^ 
examination  of  the  case,  which  revealed  a  curious  "^ 
and  very  sad  domestic  life.  Mrs.  Incersoll,  it  ap. 
peared  was  bora  In  Philadelphia,  an!  belonged  to  a 
very  respectable  f  amTly.  About  20  years  ago  she 
formed  the  acoualntance  of  IngftrsoIL  He  was  then 
a  fine  looking  and  attractive  man.  His  personal 
qualities  and  fine  manners  won  her  attention  and 
eventually  her  heart,  and  at  last  they  were 
married  They  removed  to  New-York.  Evory- 
seemed  bright  and  proftperona.  Th*  hus- 
appe&red  to  be  activelv  eneaeed  in  biislii«^ 
and  seemed  to  make  money.  He  purchased  everj 
luxury  she  desired  and  a  ided  every  cotnfort  possible 
to  their  home.  He  ihcroducod  his  wife  to  numeroua 
society  people,  who  appeared  to  move  in  the  best 
circles.  After  a  lap^  of  time  tho  wife  learned  that 
she  had  married  a  gambler.  .Cru^ilng  JO^  waa 
this  development,  kh©  attempted  se-^'o^ar  ud 
unler  It  aud  to  ^-^ectify  matters.  GmduaUy 
domestic  disputes  crep^  into  their  daily  life, 
and  little  by  ilrtlej  was  rei-eal  d,  the - 
utter  hopelessness  of  any  change  in  tho  wife's  social 
condition,  and  eventually  ajdet^rate  reslgOatioa  to. 
her  fate  took  poises- Iotj  ofmer.  V"** 

Justice  Wandell  said  th^  he  was  of  the  oplirtou" 
that  Ingersoll  wssinsane  nom  morbid  jealousy,  and 
wa.s  an  unsafe  man  to  h©  atSJMr.5e.  He  proDOuaeed 
the  knife  which  he  had  on  hispenion  Wednesday  night 
to  be  the  mo^t  mu.-derous-lookinc  weapon  he  had 
ever  seen.  The  Justice  thought  thf  re  was  no  doubt 
that  the  prisoner  meant  to  take  the  life  of  his  wife 
on  Wednesday  nlirht,  although  ther©  was  no  direct 
©vldeni^  to  that  effect.  He  sentenced  him  therefore 
to  pay  a  fine  of  #10.  and  bo  Impruooed  three-months 
.on  failure  to  give  a  bond  of  $l,OO0  to  keep  thu  peacv

fore Justice  Marshall,  at  Newtown*  Ixing  Island, 
yesterday.  At  the  opening  of  th©  cotirt  Francis  M& 
Kenna,  Esq.,  who  has  acted  as  counsel  forKisle  since 
"his  arrest,  stated  that  he  had  received  a  note  frosa

District  Attorney  Downing,  for  the  people,  called 
as  tho  first  witness  George  Micliel,  who  is  also  charged 
with  the  niurder  and  is  awaiting  the  action  of  the 
Grand  Jury.  Counsel  for  the  prisoner  objected  that 
the  District  Attorney  had  no-ri^rht  tinder  the  statute 
to  appear  is  the  case  tintil  th©  pr'smer  had  been  in- 
dicted. It  was  th©  duty^f  the  magistrate  to  examine 
the  witnesses.  The  motion  was  overruled  The  ex- 
amination waa  Iroquently  in'OFTitpt^  by  objections 
on  the  port  ot  the  prisoner's  oouuseL  Taese  were  in 
each  iiutanc©  overruled  by  thj  Justice,  aud  excep- 
tions were  taken. 

Michel  testified  that  while  on  a  vis't  to  the  jaSi 
after  his  dischai^  be  talked  with  Elsie,  and  told  Mm 
that  if  he  and  all  his  witnesses  would  tell  the  truth 
he  would  come  out  all  right.  Witness  saw  Eisle  on 
the  momir.g  after  the  murder,  and  had  talked  with 
him  since,  and  toLd  him  it  would  all  have  to 
come  oat,  but  Eisle  would  never  make  any  reply. 
Witness  told  Eisle  that  SurkEtraugh  said  at  one  nme 
that  on  the  night  of  the  murder  he  was  sleeping  np 
Etaira  and  again,  that  he  slept  in  tho  bed-room  with 
Kif^le  aiid  his  wUg. ;  he  also  told  Eisl©  that  the 
butchery  Roth,  lent  him  a  knife,  and  that  he  had 
asked  to  have  it  returned  several  times;  Eisle 
said  that  ho  would  not  give  it  back 
to  him .-  on  one  occasion  after  the  mnrdet 
of  Gunser  Schmid  came  out  of  the  saloon  and  called 
Eisle  into  tho  yard  ;  while  Schmid  and  Elsie  wore 
talking,  Elsie's  wife  came  out  and  called  him  away  ; 
witness  afterward  talked  with  Eisle.  and  asked  hui 
what  Schmid  said  :  Eisle  said  :  "  The  —  dog  Eoth 
has  told  Schmid  that  I  was  laying  for  him  ;"  this 
conversation  took  place  three  or  four  days  be&^re  tha 
arrest. 

Andreas  Thomas,  the  next  witness,  as  npon  pre- 
vious occasions,  was  very  unreliable,  contradicting 
hitnself  continually.  On  tho  night  of  the  murder  he 
said  be  slept  In  the  front  room  at  EkJe'a  No  one 
slept  up  stairs.  Ruckstraugh  slept  in  the  back  room. 
At  the  previous  examination  the  witness,  as  well  M^,^ 
Huckstraugh,  swore  that  they  slept  in  the  room  40^ 
gether  with  Els]£_aBd  his  wife.  The  witness  abu> 
made  many  cofitfadictory  statements  of  things  «-hich 
occurred  at' ihe  house  of  Eisle.  in  the  presence  of 
Justice  yarsball.  District  Attorney  Downing;,  and 
otht^rs,  on  Saturdav,  ISthinst.

eratnlate  Mr.  Tilden  that  he  Fad  been  defeated  by  a 
Ecaodalent  count  of  the  Electoral TOte.  Mr.  Tilden. 
air.  Hendricks,  Senator  B4ck,-of  Kentucky,  and 
piany  others  of  that  party,  hSve  not  hesitated  to  re- 
{keat  this  chai^,  for  the  purpose  of  diacrediting  the 
title  of  Mr.  JbUyes  to  the  great  office  he  holds.  The 
punning  and  the  baseness  which  have  inspired  this 

SUn  of  attack  upon  the  Prtaident  of  the  United 
tates,  upon  the  party  he  leads,  and  upon  the  majpri- 
fcy  of  the  tribunsi  which,  in  air  unprecedented  and 
faying  emtrgency,  was  created  to  aidrby  its  leaning 
pnd  its  ability,  in  counting  the  Electoral  vote,  will  be 
p^parent  when  the  causes  which  led-to  its  organiza- 
tion are  referred  to.  The  whole  country  remoiiibei& 
^he  result  of  the  last  Presidential  election.  The  Re- 
pobUcan  Psrty  was  unanimous  in  the  belief  that  its 
candidates  were  entitled  to  a  majority  of  one  vote  in 
tbe  Electoral  College.  A  Democratic  committee  of 
^he  House  of  Bepresent&tives  had  reported  that  Be- 
bubliean  Electors  had  beea  appointed  in  South  Caro- 
lina. Canvaaainij;  tioarda,  Imvjn^j  for  that  purpose 
.exchisive  power,  duly  appoinlA-d  by  the  Legijdaturea 
pf  Florida  and  Louisiana,  had  returned  Unyes  Elec- 
tors, and  the  Secretary  of  State  for  Oregon,  its  only 
icanvasaintc  officer,  had  declared  their  appointment 
ifor  that  State.  For  a  brief  period  there  was  seen  tn 
fts  political  firmament,  while  Cronin  seemed  in  the 
aacendant,  a  gleam  of  hope  for  the  Democratic  Party 
t— but  it  was  well  known  that  tbe  vote  of  that  State 
[was  Republican  by  a  cl»ar  and  considerable  imt- 
^oritj,  and  but  little  confidence  was  felt  that  an  ill- 
ipianned  conspiracy  to  pervert  the  count  of  its  Elect- 
oral vote  by  fraud  and  paroiia!»a  would  aucceed. 
^hla  led  Democratic  managers,  determined  to  insure 
the  elei.-tion  of  Tilden  and  Hendricks,  to  resort  to 
other  means  of  attaining  their  purpose.  -.It  was  the 
ceneral  opinion  of  the  Republican  Party  that  the 
President  of  the  Senate  had  the  power,  and  that  un- 
der the  Constitution  it  was  hia  duty,  to  count  and 
[declare  the  Electoral  vote.  This  opinion  was  shared 
bv  several  emlneut  and  able  iJemocrats.  A  majority 
oi  that  party,  however,  believed  that  such  power 
,was-  vested  in  the  two  houses ;  a  few  believed,  or 
affected  to  believe,  that  it  resided  in  the  House  of 
Bt^p  resent  ativos  alone.  Ko  R*'pablican  entertained 
such  a  doftrlne.  but  many  wir-  willing  to  concede 
that  EUectoral  votes  could  ouiy  be  counted  and  da- 
;elared  by  the  concurrent  action  «t  both  houses. 

"And  here  we  ask,  what  is:  the  *  Eie-UmU  Con- 
«ptr&cy  '  which  Mr.  black  daunts  at  the  head  of  his 
«rti(de  I  Dt3  It  coualat  in  tbu  ronc-eution  and  organ- 
tization  of  the  Electoral  Commiiuloa  t  If  It  did.  who

coni'l>ted  of  something  else,  will  he  tell  ns  cf  what  f 
^e  Intended,  we  regret  to  pay,  to  convey  to  hh*  read- 
«r9  the  ffdse  impression  thiit  the  formation  of  the 
Comm'ssion  was  the  resolt  of  a  KepubUcanconspirafy 
tu  fraudulently  elect  a  President  aud  \"iL'e- President 
-of  tbe  United  States,  carefully  concealing  the  fact 
that  it  was  not  only  the  result  of  a  compromise,  but 
of  one  urged  upon  KepubUcaus  as  the  only  means  of 
avertinij  dangers  to  the  country  threa«-eiied  by  their 
I-oUtiaJ  opponent-*.  Thi-s<*.  ami  not  Republi- 
cans, were  the  conspirators.  If  conspiracy  there 
was-  The  lamentations,  complaints,  and  denuncia- 
tionsorf  Judge  Black  are  nut,  under  the  circuni.-?tance«. 
to  be  commended-.  Men.  sifter  being  worsted  In  fair 
!enconnter,  especially  if  they  bad  the  choice  of 
weapons,  rarely  whine  or  call  names.  "We 
cannot  speak  for  the  bulk  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Party,  but  some  of  its  lenders  mi^ht  be 
named  who  would  soxtTn  the  kind  of  championship 
offered  by  Mr.  Black,  and  spam  with  contempt  the 
suggestion  that  a  KepubUcau  conspiracy  contrived 
the  Electoral  Commission,  or  that  its  adver!>e  de- 
cision authoriies  the  slander  of  a  majority  of  its 
ni*«mbers.  Honorable  men  bow  resj(»ec£fully  to  the 
jiward  of  the  tribunal  thi-y  hav-  ciio^'du. 
;  "And  here  it  seems  appropriate  to  comment  apon 
the  course  adopted  by  Judge  Ulack  toward  a  majority 
of    the  ComnLl.ssiun.     He  wa.^  one  of  the  most  distiu- 

Sdshed  Democratic  counsel  who  appeared  before  it. 
e  was  assisted,  amon^  others,  by  Mr-  CarpeuCor . 
jof  Wisconsin,  and  Mr.  David  Dudley  Field,  of  >'ew- 
[York,  to  whom  he  refers  as  the  great  lawyers  of  the 
fCepubllcan  Party,  who  could  not  endure  the  great 
fraud,  as  he  caliii  ir,  but  '  assaulted  the  foul  con- 
Euiracy  with  the  whole  force  of  their  eloquence.' 
.It  may.  we  think,  be  assumed  that  the  assault  of 
■Mr.  Carpenter  was  the  product  of  ample  compensa- 
ition.  toward  which  neither  his  sense  of  violated  right 
nor  of  threatened  public  wroug.  moae  mure  thsii  a 
■feeble.  If  anv.  contribution.  The  motives  which  in- 
duced Mr.  Field  to.  esponjie  a  cuui(e  as  well  suited  'to 
'hia  remnant  of  "politlcul  principles  as  any  other  were 
BO  mysterious  .  and  mixed  that  a  respectful  nllence 
concerning  them  shouM  be  qcute  as  grateful  tu  htm 
OS  the  mischievous  compliment  paid  by  Judge  black. 
If  these  two  gentlemen  were,  as  be  suggests,  '  the 
creat  lawyers  of  the  Republican  Party,  the  nain  of 
jThe^  professional  defeat  is  doubtless  softened  by 
,  the  consciousness  that  *  the  whole  force  of  their 
jlojcle  and  eloquence  '  was  as  abortive  to  defeat  the 
'honest  expression  of  its  '.rill  at  the  polls  as  the  most 
loyal  Republican  could  have  winhed,  and  they  may 
p<^aibly  derive  additional  satisfaction  from  learning 
that  their  joint  effort  before  the  commission  was  a 
not  inefficient  aid  in  preparing  the  minds  of  their 
auditors  for  the  Judicial  result  which  followed. 

We  have  said  that  Judge  Black  was  a  leading  and 
cListingui£>bed  counsel  for  the  Democratic  candidates 
before  the  commission.  He  failed  in  his  cause,  tils 
elients  were  defeat«<d.  Tbe  pubUc  is  not  yet  pre- 
pared to  applaud  the  counsel  who.  undi:r  such  cir- 
cumstances, eharges  the  court  with  partiality  aud 
corruption.  He  should  remember  that  be  Is  quite 
unfit  to  Judge  the  Judge  ;  for  while  the  latter, 
separated  from  the  interests  Involved,  sits  serenely 
above  all  prejudice  Mtid  Liassion.  the  counsel,  smart- 
ing a-*  Judge  Black  evidently  diil,  tinder  the  pain 
and  monincatiou  of  defeat.  Is  sometimes  not  uu- 
willing  to  relieve  himself  from  the  consequences  of 
unwise  advice  or  profitless  professional  service  by 
depouncing  the  decision  and  questioning  the  motives 
of  the  court. 

"Judge  Black  complains  bitterly  because  the  com- 
mission reftised  to  hold  a  dotdsion  obtained  hj  writ 
of  ifWf  icomznXo  before  a  ehigie  Judge  of  Florida  cou- 
elnslve  in  favor  of  the  Tilden  Electors — he  asserting 
that  '  by  all -reason  and  all  authority  the  Commis- 
llon  was  bound  to  respect  this  as  conclusive  evi- 

-  dance.'  He  then  sayii :  '  Tnef  did  nvt  do  it ; 
they  allowed  tbe  judgment  to  have  no  effect 
St  alL  They  but  looked  to]  see  what  it  was,  and 
bnmedlately  swept  it  out  of  sight.  They  pat  it  far 
from  them,  and  then  proceeded  to  pronuonce  a  differ- 
ent Judgment,  which  suited  the  Uayes  men  better.' 
A  few  mies  will  forever  dispose  of  the  ndserable  ef- 
fort made  to  foist  these  quo  warranto  proceedings 
gpon  the  Commission  as  a  reason  why  the  vote  of 
Slorlda  should  not  be  cotmted  for  Hayes.  First,  it 
lias  long^  been  judicially  settled,  and  the  peace  and 
security  of  society  repose  upon  the  doctrine,  that  all 
acts  of  ufELcers  de  facto  are  valid  and  binding  until 
fchey  are  ousted  and  dhtpoKsess^  by  the  Judgment  of 
a  competent  court.  Hence,  if  a  person  exercising 
tbedutieaof  Judge  should,  pending  proceedings  to 
OTut  him,  make  and  enter  decrees  by  which  men 
should  be  hanged  or  Imprisoned  or  their  property 
be  taken  awuy,  all  such  decrees  made 
before  Judgment  of  oo&ter  would  stand 
as  firmly  as  though  bis  jndicial  title  were 
tmqucstioned.  In  this  case  it  should  >^h^"re- 
membered  tliat  the  first  and  unly  official  act  of  the 
Hayes  Electors  was  performed  on  tbe  very  dav  pT<>- 
Ot»ediug«  against  them  wore  instituted.  And.  second, 
If  tbe  rule  were  net  aa  stated,  the  title  of  a  President 
ot  the  United  S^tes  could  at  all  times  be  made  to  de- 
p«id  upon  the  judgment  of  a  State  court,  for  it 
Would  be  eaxv  in  many  States,  after  the  re»nlt  of  aa 
elsction  should  be  known,  to  take  proceeding  against 
Electors  before  a  Judue  not  likely  to  sympathise  with 
th«  BaceessfoUjiolitical  party,  and  if  these  could  bo 
onatedth^  defeated  Presidential  candidate  could  suc- 
ceed, not  by  'votes  of  Electors  appointed  by  each 
Btata  in  such  manner  as  the  Legislature  thereof  may 
lirect,'  but  by  some  convenient  Judge,  elected,  per- 
kaps  for  one,  two.  or  four  years,  and  ready  to  do  a 
poUtlcal  ser^ire  u]>on  the  prcimlse  of  a  future  aomtito- 
oon.  And,finally.  we  suggest  that  it  would  be  extremely 
dan^erouB  U>  ;>ennit  any  interference  'whatever  by 
^edaral  or  State  courts  with  the  ucQce  or  functions 
of  Presidential  Electors  upon  the  pretext  that  they 
Were  not  duly  appointed—a  pretext  easily  manuJEac- 
tuvd.  and  one  which,  in  the  hands  of  a  partisan 
Judge,  might  result  in  great  and  pc'rmanent  mischief- 
We  commend  these  views  to  Judge  Black,  in  the 
hope  that  in  his  calmer  momest»-a  little  refiection 
may  lead  him  to  change  his  mind  concerning  the  ef- 
fect of  quo  ^earranto  proceedings,  and  to  a  milder 
mode  ox  expression  toward  those  whu  differ  with 
him  on  that  subject. 

Judge  Black  has  certainly  omitted  nothiDg  of  slan- 
der, nothing  of  reprobation,  nothing  of  denunciation, 
of  all  those  who  in  any  manner  aided  in  securing  the 
elevation  of  Mr.  Hayea  to  the  Presidency,  wldch  the 
most  vlulent  aud  reckless  of  his  party  can  desire.  He 
has  eoDStmrted  witb  malicious  iiu:enuity  a  well  com- 
pacted series  of  misi^tatements,  each  reposing  upon 
aasertions  positively  made,  and  all  as  a  rule  destitute 
ol  any  solid  foimdatlon.  In  so  doing  truths  have 
been  so  perverted  as  to  become  falsehoods,  and 
ffsHfihmrdii  so  interwoven  with  these  as  to 
a^mear  like  truths.  '  He  has  even  assailed  those 
wiu>  at  the  request  of  the  President  went  to 
Kew-Orlevia  to  witness  the  count  of  the  Electoral 
vote  by  the  Returning  Board^after  It  was  known 
that,  at  the  request  of  Mr.  Tilden,  several  dis- 
tin^Qished  Democrats  were  to  attend  there  tor  that 
pimxn*.  Of  tbe  Repabllcans  who  went  there, 
Jttdig*  £3aek.  with  unbloshing  effrontery,  declares : 
*Ther  might  have  caused  a  true  count  of  the  vote  if 
fiksy  nad  vrisbed  it ;  one  word  of  reprobation  from 

-  thson  would  have  paralyzed  the  rascality  of  the  Re- 
tarelag  Board.'  And  be  adds  they  'encouraged, 
aided,  SBid  abetted  by  every  means  m  their  power

wbscc  they  and  others  of  both  parties  deemed  a  pub- 
lic service,  is  already  answered.  They  "met  in  pres- 
ence of  the  Keturrung  Board,  and  at  its  request,  emi- 
nent Democrats  wlio  were  present  upon  a.like  invita- 
tion, and  attended  daily  before  It,  nothing  what- 
eyer  beins:  done  by  its  members  except  In 
presence  of  the  representatives  of  both  political  par 
ties  and  of  tbeir  stenographic  reporters  from  the 
time  the  board  organized  until  it«  labors  clo.ied  and  its 
members  had  retir^  to  driiherate  upon  the  testimony 
before  them.  To  have  interfered  with  their  doties, 
to  have  proffered  them  advice  for  tbe  purpose  of  in- 
fiuencing  tbe  reeult  of  their  deUbM^ons,  and  es- 
pecially to  have  reprobated  them,  as  suggiwted  by 
Judge  Black,  would  nave  been  a  erosa  outrage  tipon 
them  personally,  an  insult  to  their  office,  and  most 
disrespectful  to.  the  State  whose  supreme  or- 
gans they  were.  There  is  no  reason  io 
suppose  that  they  failed  to  exercise  a  wise 
and  Just  discretion,  and  it  Is  quite  certain  the 
conclusions  they  reached  have  not  been  in  the  least 
shaken  or  disturbed  by  the  unsupported  a».<;ertions 
of  Judge  Black.  When  he  shall  venture  beyond  the 
domain  of  denunciation,  and,  enterln^r  the  fidr  field 
of  inqtiiTT  and  of  arjmment,  Bhall  candidly  explore 
the  proofs  on  which  the  board  acted,  and  especially 
when  he  shall  honestly  endeavor  to  realize  that  the 
Electoral  Commission  was  powerlftss  under  the  Oon- 
atitT^tion  and  law  to  disrejTHrd  the  final  will  of  tiie 
States  of  Louisiana,  Florida,  and  Oregon,  he  vrill  en- 
gage in  a  task  which  may  open  his  miad  to  the  truth, 
leading  him  to  the  conclusion  that  the  nation  hss  not 
been  betrayed,  and  that  the  great  fraud  of  1876  was 
bat  the  figment  of  a  disordend  imagination."

wisdom.  One  of  our  traveling  companions  was  a 
yotmg  lawyer  friend,  a  delegate  ahda  brilliant  mind, 
rightly  classed  among  the  rising  men  of  the  State. 
Our  young  friend  regretted'  that  the  people  of  WUkes 
bad  chosen  Hon.  E.  Toombs  as  a  delegate,  as  he 
felt  assured  that  Gen.  Toombs  would  be  a  flre-brand 
in  the  convention  ;  that  be  [Toombs]  would,  by  his 
violent  and  extreme  measures,  defeat  the  objects  of 
tbe  convention,  and  that  a  Constitution  would  be  of- 
fered to  the  people,  if  Gen.  Toombs  had  the  framing 
of  it.  that  would  not  be  accepted.  Wo  said  to  our 
friend,  '•  Vou  are  like  9  men  out  of  10  in  Georgia, 
and  10  men  out  of  10  out  of  Georgia.  Ton  are  total- 
Iv  Ignorant  of  tbe  man  yon  speiUc  ot. 
Gen.  Toombs  has  these  parts  developed  to 
overllowing — head,  heart,  and  tongue.  His 
head  has  more  brains,  knowledge,  and  common 
sense  than  any  hundred  heads  in  Georgia.  His 
heart  has  not  a  defect.  His  tongue  is  his  drawback. 
Gen.  Toombs  says  many  things  that  are  radical,  ex- 
treme, and  uncalled  for — in  fact,  tmwarranted  :  but 
when  Gen.  Toombs  acts  you  will  find  him  as  con- 
servative as  the  most  moderate  could  wish,  and  If 
the  people  of  tieorjria  want  a  first-class  Constitution, 
they  couldn't  do  bwter  than  to  jget  Gen.  Toombs  to 
write  It,  and  then  adopt  it  without  amendment  or 
alteration.'* 

When  the  convention  was  about  to  close  its  ses- 
sion we  chanced  in  Atlanta,  aud  met  our  antl- 
Toombs  friend.  Our  first  question  was.  "  What  is 
the  status  of  Gen,  Toombs  with  you  now  f"  Our 
friend  replied,  with  considerable  earnestness,  "Well, 
we  ail  Just  love  the  old  man.  The  convention  as- 
sembled with  nearly  every  man  prejudiced  a^dnst 
him  :  it  will  close  with  every  man  Ms  friend.  I  con- 
fess I  did  not  know  him.  We  don't  admit  that  any 
member  was  a  leader,  but  Gen.  Toomb»  came  nearer 
to  that  position  than  any.  While  we  voted  down 
some  few  unimportant  measures  that  he  advocated, 
yet  in  every  Important  matter  he  came  out  vic- 
torious." 

We  are  proud  that  our  State's  greatest  man  is  re- 
inKt.ited  in  the  hearts  of  the  people,  for  we  feel  as- 
sured that  every  delegate  mil  return  to  his  people 
and  tell  them  the  wrong  they  have  cherished  against 
Georgia's  noblest  son,  and  they  will  do  turn  that  Jus- , 
tice  wliich  hah  for  12  years  been  debarred  him.  The 
radical  press  Korth  will,  no  doubt,  continue  their 
villainous  onslaughts,  will  garbid  and  pirk  his  say- 
ings in  their  efforts  to  crash  him,  but  it  will  be  like 
throwintr  pebbles  anainst  a  mountain.  Tbe  name  of 
Robert,  Toombs  will  he  honor- d  by  every  true  Geor- 
Rian  lonji  after  their  ct.rcas»e*  aro  rotteh  and  their 
names  forgotten.  Gen.  Toombs  is  getting  old. 
Georgia  will  not  lon^  be  the  recipient  of  his  untold 
wealth  of  mind  and  heart,  but  his  last  davs  will  be 
consoled  by  the  knowledge  that  be  ts  hild  dear  to 
his  people.  While  he  Li  not  perfect,  his  many  enno- 
bline  qualities  of  head  and  heart  will  blot  out  the  few 
spetk."  that  his  enemiee  bave  so  arduously  striven  to 
make  the  world  believe  are  enormous  defects. 


A  CUiyKSE  JOiiS-HOCSE. 


THE  GODS  OP  THE  HEATHEN*  AS  THET.AJ5E  SET 

UP  IN  A   XEVADA-^^WN. 

From  the  Vir^ma  (Xec.)  EnterpriM^  Auy.  2'J. 

The  present  Chinese  Joss  house  in  this  city 
is  more  elaborately  fitted  up  than  any  ever  before 
opened  here.  It  stand:*  on  Ustreet.  one  or  two  doors 
north  of  Demling's  store,  and  Is  In  the  second  story 
of  a  frame  building.  The  entrants  to  this  temple  of 
the  heathen  is  sheltered  by  a  rude  portifo.  and  is 
rc-iched  by  a  sliort  flight  of  stairs.  The  doors  stand 
r>pen.  Through  them,  shining  dimly  throui^h  the 
daylight,  are  seen  the  candles  bnmin;;  on 
the  altar.  "  Outside  barbarians "  may  freely 
enter.  Asrendlng  the  steps  of  the  stairs,  we 
are  met  by  the  wlor  of  bumiiig  sandal-wood  from  the 
altar,  mingled  with  that  of  the  smoke  of  Chinese  to- 
bacco from  the  pipes  of  the  loungers  under  the  por- 
tico and  In  the  doctor's  shop  next  door  to  the  en- 
trance to  the  temple.  No  worshipers  are  before  the 
lUtar  ;  none  in  the  temple.  A  sleepy -ItX) king  China- 
man sits  In  the  doorway  that  leads  htto  the  apothe- 
cary shop,  whose  business  it  appears  to  be  to  attend 
to  the  candles,  flaring  and  Ruttering  the  life  out  of 
themselves  on  the  altar,  in  the  >'ain  attempt  to  make 
thegxim  gods  that  sit  behind  look  lovable. 

The  "OKjss  god"  of  the  Joss-bouse  is  '•bearded 
like  the  pard.'  and  occupies  the  first  place  behind 
the  altar.  A  little  In  his  rear  are  seated  two  other, 
gods,  Rrim-vlsaged  and  cast  In  bronze.  All  about  the 
trio  are  peacock  feathers  In  what  look  like  exag- 
gerated bouquet-holder*.  A  world  of  tinsel  things 
are  under,  over,  and  around  the  place  oi-cnpled  by 
the  feathers.  Besides  the  three  gods  behind  the 
altar  are  seen  two  figures  in  niches  like  little  cup- 
boards on  each  side.  That  on  the  left  hand  is  Cboy 
Snu.  the  "rich  man,"  or  rather  the  god  of  wealth. 
ThU  image  is  richly  arrayed  in  silken  garments 
and  profusely  adorned/ with  Jewelry.  To  him  the 
iKMjr  appeal,  bewailing  their  poverty  and  a!»k- 
in:;  his  assistance  on  the  wav  to  wealth. 
The  Image  on  the  right  is  Waa  Too,  the 
god  of  health,  called  by  the  Chinamen  "the  doctor." 
He  is  shown  in  the  act  of  taking  a  done  of  his  own 
medidne,  a  thing  our  doctors  seldom  do.  To  him 
a|jpeal  those  out  of  health.  He  hears  their  pra^^ers, 
and  the  apothecary  In  the  little  drug  store  adjomlng 
supplies  the  medicine  and  porkets  the  money  there 
for.     A  ni<*«  little  arrangement  it  would  seem. 

In  approaching  the  altar,  we  pass  between  two 
rows  of  battle-axes  of  fanta-stlc  form,  the  r!eads  of 
which  are  hollow  and  serve  as  lamps  or  torches  on 
certain  occasions.  The  handles  of  these  are  re^l,  and 
about  six  feet  long,  and  each  has  V>oand  about  it,  just 
below  its  head,  a  streamer  of  scarlet  clt^tb. 

In  this  temple  pray  all  the  praying  Chinese,  whether 
friends  or  foes — £:jam  Sings  or  Hop  Sbigs. 

SEUyJON  OF  UNTOK  XYD  REBEL, 
Several  ex-Union  soldiers  of  Cincinnati  met 
on  Tuesday  to  arrange  for  a  reunion  in  that  city  of 
Union  and  Confederate  soldiers  of  the  late  war.  The 
Enquirer  thus  reports  the  results  :  "  A  temporary 
oi^anixation  was  effected  by  calling  Col.  R.  M. 
Moore  to  preside.  As  Secretary,  a  one-legged  sol- 
dier, Gen.  Charles  E.  Brown,  ex  Pension  Agent  at 
this  point,  was  chosen.  Among  the  men  of  promi- 
neocft  present  were  seen  Gen.  H.  B.  Banning,  CoL  D. 
W.  Strickland,  Major  Wallace,  of  the  Seventy-fifth 
Ohio;  Gen.  William  G.  Halpin,  CoL  John  E.  Hudson, 
of  the  One  Hundred  and  Eighty-first ;  Jesse  De 
Beck,  who  tised  to  be  known  a.s  '  the  wotmded  sol- 
dier ;'  Major  P.  R.  Way,  Col.  J.  V.  Guthrie,  and 
many  others.  Speeches  were  made  by  nearly  everj' 
man  present,  and  when  It  is  mentioned  that  about 
40  regiments  were  there  represented,  it  will  be  seen 
that  ■  the  boys  '  did  not  lack  for  orators.  It  was 
thoroughly  understood  that  at  the  reunion,  the  time 
for  which  has,  as  yet,  not  been  definitely  settled, 
politics  were  to  be  tabooed  absolutely,  and  nothing 
that  will  mar  the  perfect  enjoyment  of  those  who 
attend  will  be  tolerated.  At  tlie  gathering  yester- 
day the  Bepublicans  were  in  the  majority,  but  the 
patriotic  speech  of  Gen.  H.  B.  Banning,  an  uncom- 
promising Democrat,  was  cheered  to  the  echo.  AjCter 
the  matter  bad  been  fully  discu.<tsed  the  meeting  ad- 
journed to  meet  at  the  Gibson  House  next  Thursday 
afternoon."

TWO  VIEWS  OF  ONE  SUBJECT 


LABOE  STRIKES  Am)  TBEIE  EEMED7, 

A     ^'STBIKEE'S"     imDESSTAKDINO    OP     THE 
MATTER— THf    RIGHTS    AKD    YALITE    OP 
'        I^ABOR  mSBEQARDED  BT  CAPITAL — COL. 
THOHA8A.  SCOTT  ARGUES  ON  THE  OTHER 
SC&E   OF  THE  CASK — WHAT    IT   IS  NECBS- 
fiABT  FOB.  THE  GOVEOSfMENT   TO  DO    TO 
PREVENT      FUTURE     OOCUBREKCES    SIM- 
XL&S,  TO  THE  EEC£^7T  STRIKES. 
The  Iforth-American  Bwiew  just  issued  con- 
tains two  article*  on  the  labor  pr9blem  setting  forth 
the  current  views  on  either  side  of  the  question.  The 
first,  headed  '•  Pair  Wages  "  and  signed  "A  Striker," 
contends  that  the  rights  and  valne  of  labor,  which 
were  acknowledged  here  40  years  ago  becanse  the 
cotmtry  wanted  hands,  now  tnms  the  laboring  men's 
earnings  against  tiiem,  and  tbe  conntry's  prosperity 
becomes  their  disaster.    The  writer  concludes  as  fol- 
lows: 

Let  me  put  this  matter  in  a  plidn  way,  as  we  un- 
derstand it.  and  use  round  numbers  Instead  of  frac- 
tions, as  we  have  to  deal  with  hundreds  of  millions, 
^viding  the  subject  into  sections. 

1.  In  the  Vuited  States  the  amount  of  capital  In- 
vested in  railway  property  last  year  was  ^,470.- 
000.000.  made  np  of  »2.250.000,000  capital  stock 
and  $2,220,000,000  bonded  debt.  The  gross 
earnings  were  $500,000,000.  or  about  S^  per 
cent,  on  the  capital.  The  running  expenses  (of 
which  the  bulk  was  for  labor.)  were  $310,000,000. 
leaving  S185,000.000  as  Interest  to  the  capltalhit,  or 
barely  4  per  cent,  on  his  investment.  Labor  is  ad- 
mittwl  into  this  enterprise  as  a  preferential  creditor, 
to  be  paid  out  of  the  gross  earnings  he- 
fore  the  most  preferred  mortgacee  or  bondholder 
receives  a  dollar.  For,  as  capital  could  not  buDd 
the  roadi  nor  equip  them  wilhout  labor,  so  the  enter- 
prise, when  complete,  cannot  be  run  without  labor. 
Capital,  therefore,  takes  a  back  seat  when  It  comes 
to  the  push,  and  acknowledges  not .  only  that  labor 
has  the  largest  interest  In  the  concern,  but  takes 
the  first  fruits.  I  take  the  railroad  as  a  sample  out 
of  all  entemrises,  and  If  we  cotdd  get  St  flgnres 
there  is  no  doubt  it  is  a  fair  sample  of  the 
crowd.  If,  then.  labor  is  the  more  important  and 
essential  factor  in  the  result,  when  it  comes  to  the 
question  which  of  the  two  shall  suffer  In  moments  of 

E'neral  dlstrej-i — the  capitalist  In  his  pocket  or  the 
borer  in  his  belly — we  think  the  answer  has  been 
already  settled  by  tbe  rU;ht8  asstimed  by  one  and  ac- 
knowledged by  the  other, 

2.  It  is  manifestly  unjust  that  the  working  man 
should  be  subjected  to  under  wages  In  bad  times,  if 
he  has  not  the  equivalent  of  over  wages  in  good 
times.  ^If  railroad  companies  In  concert  with  the 
laboring  class  had  establi^ihed  n  tariff  of 
labor,  and  ^id  a  bonus  on  wages  at  every 
distribution  of  dividends,  tlint  bonus '  being  in 
proportion  to  tbe  profits,  of  the  road, so  that  each  man 
oec^mes  a  shareholder  in  his  verv  small  way.  then  he 
would  have  submitted  to  bear  his  share  of  distress 
when  all  were  called  on  to  share  trouble,  but  to 
share  it  equallv  and  alike. 

3.  When  folks  say  that  labor  and  cnpitpl  must  find, 
by  the  laws  of  demand  and  supply,  their  natural 
relations  to  each  other  in  all  commercial  enterprises. 
an3  neither  one  has  anv  rights  It  can  enforce  on  the 
other,  they  take  lor  granted  that  the  la- 
bor "  mar^t "  i«,  like  the  produce  market, 
liable  to  natural  fluctuations.  If  that  were  so,  we 
should  not  complain.  But  it  Is  not.  Tho  labor  market 
has  got  to  be  like  the  stoi'k  and  share  market :  a  few 
large  capitalists  control  tt  and  make  what  prices  they 
plwL^e.  This  sort  of  game  may  ruin  the  gamblers  in 
stocks,  snd  Injnre  those  who  invest,  bnt  the  trouble 
is  confined  mostlv  to  those  who  deserve  to  lo<ie  or 
those  who  can  a^ord  it.  But  not  so  when  the  same 
practice  operates  intlie  labor  market.  The  capital- 
ist must  not  parable  with  the  bread  of  the  working 
nian.  or  if  he  doe?,  let  him  regard  where  that  specu- 
larton  led  France  100  years  aijo,  when  tbe  UnHUcierg 
made  s  rom^r  in  Hour,  and  the  people  broke  the 
ring  with  the  axe  of  the  guillotine. 

4.  Wlien  the  raiiwav  companies  obtained  privi- 
leges and  rights  over  private  property,  lind  became  bv 
force  of  law  the  great  landrowners  of  the  State,  hold- 
ing its  movable  property  as  well,  and  controllinit 
every  avenue  and  department  of  business,  publ^  and 
private,  they  became  nowerful  monopoliep.  Tnc 
Stale  endowed  them  witti  ^wers  tp  fmme  laws  of 
their  own.  and  deprived  citizens  of  their  property. 
means,  fnMlitie*  of  transport,  to  vest  It  all  in  the.<»e 
corporations,  Tims  endowed,  they  cannot  pretend  they 
are  no  more  than  ordinary  commercLil  entorpriBes. 
They  are  responsible  to  the  State  for  the  result  of 
their  operations  if  they  disturb  fatally  the  orderof 
oar  concerns.  They  are  not  independent.  Tlie 
State  has  claims  upon  them  it  has  not  on  private 
concerns.  They  may  not  accept  lisblMtles  and 
then  decline  responsibility.  It  behooves  the 
State  to  decide  what  the  people  are  entitled  to 
in  return  for  all  they  have  pon'^ed  to  these  com- 
panie«.  imd  to  enforce  such  claims. 

5.  The  English  I'ariianieut  leiris=lnt*Mi  nnjh^  ^ufs- 
tion  of  tho  number  of  hours  a  work ingiimii  should 
labor.  It  limits  them  to  f-o  many.  It 
lecislates  for  his  health  and'  supply  of  Hcht  and 
water.  In  all  these  matters  th**  r»pjtali.^t  has,  an  in- 
terest, tjiedoes  a*  much  for  his  horse.)  But  when 
it  comes  to  the  question  of  a  proper  amount  of  food 
and  clpthine.  of  warmth  and  shelter,  the  Government 
declines  to  interfere.  It  leaves  the  qnestJon  of  fair 
wagefl  to  be  adjusted  between  employer  and  em- 
ployed.   

THOMAS  A.  SCOTT'S  PAPER. 

The  oUier  article,  headed  "The  Recent 
Strikes,"  and  written  by  Col.  Thomas  A.  Scott,  after 
reciting  the  facts  of  recent  history  regarding  the 
strikes  of  railroad  emylbyes,  and  staUng^  the  neces- 
sities of  the  railroad  companies  in  vIck-  of  the  pub&c 
demands  upon  them, ,  makes  the  following  Uediic- 
tions : 

This  insurrection,  which  Qitended  through  14 
states,  and  In  many  cases  succmtfully  defied  the  local 
authorities,  presents  a  state  o^^nicts  almost  as  "Serious 
as  that  whicn  prevaile<i  at  the  outbreak  of  the  civil 
wax.  -Unless  our  own  experience  Is  to  differ 
entirely  from  other  countrie.«-^nnd  it  is  not  easy 
to  see  why  it  should,  with  the  increasing 
population  of  our  large  cities  and  ba>d- 
uess  centrvs.  and  the  inevitable  assemblage  at  such 
points  of  the  vicioiu  and  evil  disposed— the  lute 
troubles  may  be  but  the  prelude  to  other  manifesta- 
tion;! of  moD  violence,  with  this  added  peril,  that 
now,  for  tbe  first  time  in  American  history,  has  an 
organized  mob  learned  its  jwwer  to  terrorize  the  law- 
abiding  citizens  of  great  communities.  With  our 
recent  eiperie-.co  before  us.  it  is  believed  tliat  no 
tbougfatfal  man  can  argue  in  favur  of  deUy 
by  the  proper  authorities  in  dealing  with  lawless  aud 
riotous  assemblages.  Delay  simply  leads  to  destruc- 
tion of  property,  and  may  lead  in  the  end  to  the  de- 
struction of  life.  The  force  tised  to  renress  such  as- 
semblages should  be  as  prompt  in  its  manifestation 
as  the  evil  with  which  it  deals.  The  interests  con- 
cerned are  too  crave  to  admit  of  delay.  The  raising 
of  the  black  fiag  and  the  stoppage  of  all  vessels  on 
the  great  lakes  and  on  the  Mississippi  and  Ohio 
Rivers  would  not  produce  one  tithe  of  th^ 
damage  \o  the  whole  country  that  has  re^ 
suitfd  from  the  recent  stoppage  of  the  great 
trunk  lines.  The  burning  (f  the  vessels  >  and 
their  cargoes  on  these  waters  would  raise  a  storm  of 
wrath  wlrtch  no  mob  would  dare  to  face,  and  would 
be  visited  by  the  United  .States  Government,  under 
existing  laws,  with  most  exemplary  punishment. 
But  what  distinction  can  be  established  between  such 
a  crime  and  tbe  hideous  destruction  at 
Pittsburg  of  over  1 ,  800  cars  laden  with 
the      product  s      of       the      various       Htatef ,       to- 

S ether  with  the  engines  ready  to  move  them  to  their 
estination.  and  the  station  buildings  and  machine- 
shops  that  were  absolutely  essential  to  their  proper 
care  and  movement,  and  which  with  other  like  do- 
ings resulted  in  the  stoppage  of  all  c^nimerco  and 
business  relations  between  the  States  not  only  on 
one  highway,  but  on  many  important  hnes,  tlirou^h 
the  concerted  luitlon  of  the  mob  and  its  leaders  1  In 
the  <3ityof  Pittsburg  much  htunau  life  and  many 
private  dwellings  and  other  property  were  sacrificed 
as  the  result  of  mob  violence  ;  indeed,'  it  is  almottt  a 
mar\"el  that  a  large  portion  of  that  city  was  not  de- 
stroyed by  fire.  Only  the  prevailing  direction  of  the 
wind  averted  greater  and  more  general  disaster. 

The  authority  of  the  Cniled  States,  now  potent  to 
pi-otect  commerce  moving  upon  the  waters,  should  be 
equally  potent  when  the  same  commerce  is  exposed 
to  greater  peril  upon  land.  This  brings  us.  then,  to 
the  practical  question :  In  what  shape  can 
this  protection  be  put  so  as  "^  to  be 
extendrf  most  efficiently  and  with  the 
least  delay  ?  The  present  rtigulntions  all  ?avor,  mi- 
inteutionallv,  the  rioters  and  the  mob.  In  the  first 
place,  the  Mayor  of  a  city  Diast  exhaust  his  power, 
the  Sheriif  of  tho  county  must  essay.his  strength  ;' 
then,  while  precious  time  is  expending— for  a  mob 
constantly  attracts  dangerous  elements  and  grows 
with  imptmity  ond  success — the  Governor  of  the 
State  must  be  called  upon  by  the  Sheriff  of 
a  county.  If  the  State  liapjMjns  to  have  an  effective 
military  organization,  which  at  the  pre-wnt  time  is 
the  case  in  perhaps  not  more  than  five  oufof  the  37 
States  of  the  Union,  the  Governor  can  call  out  the 
military  forces  and  suppress  the.riot.  If  the  ^t&te 
has  no  such  organization,  or  if  the  military  forces  of 
the  State  prove  inadequate  to  tho  emergent-v,  the 
Governor  is  paralyzed,  and  must  call  upon  the  Ignited 
States  for  a&Mistauce.  If  the  authoriries  of  any  State 
should,  for  any  cause,  fail  or  refuse  to'  call  upon  the 
United  States  Government,  what  possible  remedy  or 
protection  is  left  to  life  and  property  within  the 
Umits  of  that  Commonwealth  1 

It  can  readilv  be  seen  what  frightful  possibilities  of 
nuschief  are  afforded  by  the  necessarily  long  interval 
wldch  must  elapse  in  the  present  state  of  our  laws 
before  the  Federal  authority  can  intervene  in  cases 
where  its  intervention  is  most  Imperative.  In 
fact,  as  onr  recent  experience  has  shown, 
the  only  roads  which  could  procure  prompt 
prote^on  and  immunity  from  Interference 
were  thoae  whose  misfortunes  had  made  them  bank- 
rupt and  plat-ed  them  in  the  direct  cdstot^^f  Re- 
ceivers appointed  by  the  United  Slates  courts.  To 
the  aid  oC  these  roads  the  United  States  Marshal 
could  call  United  Statas  troops,  and  no  rioter  dared 
to  resist  the  power  represented  by  the  small 
but  admirably  disciplined  detachments  quar- 
tered near  the  scenes  of  the  recent  trou- 
bles. It  will  hardly  be  contended  that  the 
railway  companies  must  become  bankrupt 
in  order  to  piake  secure  the  uninterrupted  movement 
of  traflBc  over  their  lines,  or  to  entitle  them  to  the 
efficient  protection  of  the  United  States  €k>vemment. 
If  a  bondholder  or  other  tn'editor  is  entitled  to  the 
protection  of  the  Federal  courts  to  prevent  the 
threatened  impairment  of  ^le  vnlue  of  a  property 
through  legal  proceedings,  he  certainly  should  not 
be  left  without  remedy  against  lawless  violence  which 
has  actually  destroyed  the  security  for  his 
investment,  and  has,  as  at  Pittsbure,'  converted 
mlDions  of  dollATS  Into  scrap-iron  and'ashea.  'Hie 
laws  which  give  the  Federal  courts  the  summary 
procesa  of  injunction,  to  restrain  so  comparatively 
triflfaig  a  wrong  aa  an  infringement  of  a  patent-right 
ffsriwnly  gmst  have  iteaa  intended  OFOi^ght  tp^e 


the  United  States  anthority  to  prevent  a  WTong-dotng 
which  not  only  destroys  a  pamciilar  road,  but  also 
paralyzes  the  entire  commerce  of  the  countiT  and 
wastee  the  national  we^th.  It  Is  demonstrable  that 
dtirliig  tbe  recent  disturbances  tho  Government  of 
the  Uidtod  States  was  itself  a  direct  loser,  and 
through  the  Government,  tho  tax-payers  of  the 
whole  country,  to  a  very  large  amountby  tlie  diminu- 
tion x»f  the  national  reventiea  arising  tnym  the  inter- 
ruption of  buslnes!*  ond  tbe  interference  witli  immy 
of  the  operations  on  which  the  internal  taxes  of  the 
country  axe  levied,  as  well  as  by  the  diminutionTbf 
the  Oustoncs  revenues,  as  all  tlie  imports  during 
this  period,  instead  of  being  forwarded  to 
their  destitiations,  were  necessarily  placed  in  store, 
of  course  without  ywymeut  of  any  duty  to  the  Gov- 
eniment  for  the  time*beh'.g.  Suppose  that  this  state 
of  things  had  continued  for  60  days,  would  not  the 
TTnited  States  Government  have'  been  deprived  of 
nearly  all  the  revenues  on  which  it  relies  to  meet  its 
current  obligations  ? 

Certainly  it  cannot  have  been  contemplated  in 
the  formation  of  our  Government  that  the  United 
States  authorities  shoDdd  submit  to  see  the  transpor- 
tation of  the-malls.  covering  tbe  onormous  finan(4sl 
and  business  transactions  of  the  whole  country,  and 
the  movement  of  supplies  required  for  its  own  va- 
rious departments,  roade  dependent  upon  the  srace 
and  favor  of  rioters  whose  misconduct  in  almost 
any  other  form  would  have  secured  tlfeir  Itomedlate 
arrest  and  oondign  punishment;  Dnrnig  the  recent 
riots  the  movement  of  United  States^  troops  was  im- 
peded at  several  poInt^  and  large  quantities  of  am- 
munition and  other  Federal  stores  on  their  way  to 
the  Pacific  coast  were  forcibly  detained  for  days. 
The  operations  of  the  National  Government  in  some 
narts  of  the  countrv  were  as  completely  blocked  as 
in  the  early  daya  of  the  civil  war.  Tnere  certainly 
should  be  a  protection  against  such  dangers  and  a 
remedy  for  such  wrongs.  If  the  Government  of  the 
United  States  is  to  exercise  its  power  of  protection 
or  of  remedy,  it.  perhaps,  can  do  so  only  through 
un  adequate  exUhition  of  the  miliiary  force  that 
may  be  given  It  for  such  purposes  by  Congress.  The 
Important  question  is  to  ascertain  in  what  way  the' 
Government  can  so  exhibit  Its  military  force  as  to 
secure  the  utmost  possible  efflciency  in  the  enforce- 
ment of  law  and  order  without  Jarring  or  disturbing 
the  general  framework  of  our  institutions  and  our 
laws.  It  seoma  to  be  indispensable,  in  the  light  of 
recent  events,  that  whatever  force  is  to  be  used  by 
the  Government  In  such  emergencies  should.be  bo 
distributed  and  controlled  that  ft  may  be  concentrat- 
ed upon  any  point  or  points  that  may  be  threatened 
within  a  few  hours  of  any  outbreak.  Several  com- 
panies of  regular  troops  that  were  quartered  at  Balti- 
more, Philat^elphia,  I^ittsburg,  ReKding.  Scrauton. 
LotdsviUe,  Chicago,  and  othf  r  places,  during  the  re- 
cent riots,  hod  to  be  transported  for  such  distances 
that.  If  they  had  been  compelled  to  march  instead  of 
moving  by  rail,  they  would  have  been  powerless  to 
avert  mischief.  It  was  only  by  the  fear  or  favor 
of  the  rioters  that  the  United  States  were 
able  to  concentrate  their  forces  where  they 
did  In  some  coses  formal  resolutions  were  passed, 
by  the  strikers  that  no  troops  should  be  nlIowe<l  to 
pass  over  thelhies.  In  Jersey  Citv  a  mob  endeav- 
ored to  prevent  the  departure  of  n  Cnited  States  bat- 
tery .an«i  the  troops  connected  therewith.  vOn  tlie 
Erie  Railway,  between  Cornell  and  Ilornellsville.  a 
few  lawless  men.  by  tearing  np  track.-*,  destroying 
brid^tes,  and  tampering  with  switches,  were  able  se- 
riously to  retard  the  military  forces  of  tlie 
State,  which  were  there  uuder  tho  orders 
of  the  Governor  to  re-establish  '  law  and 
order.  What  is  needed,  therefore,  would  clearlv 
seem  to  be  that  proper  forces  should  be  so  disposed 
at  prominent  points — larg.  cities  imd  other  great 
business  centres,  in  many  of  which  the  Government 
has  arsenals,  custom -Irouses.  mints,  navy-yarda.  and 
other  projierty  of  its  own  to  protect — that  their  move- 
ments can  be  combined  rapidly  and  they  be  directed 
aaainf^  point*  of  diwiser,  so  as  to  be  able  to  act 
effectively  and  with  decision  before  violence  can  be- 
come triumphant. 

With  the  experience  of  other  countries  to  warn 
and  Euide  ufi,  and  esjM'«'i-lly  with  the  esperitnce  of 
England,  where  the  rights  of  icie  people  have  for

The  magnitude  of  tbe  evtl  to  be  met  and  dealt  with

lute assurance  of  itence  so  important  as  to  the  m<-n

appeal  to  their  past  relations  with  the  faitliful  among 
their  employes  to  prove  that  they  at  least  have  aX- 
wavs  endeavored  to  treat  the  interests  of  employers 
and  employed  as  identical,  and  have  never  failed  to 
take  into  prompt  and  respectful  consideration  every 
grievance  which  has  be<'n  fairly  and  properly  pre- 
sented to  them.  I  am  sure  that  it  has  been  the  pur- 
pose of  the  company  with  which  I  am  Con- 
nected to  -  at  all  times  pay  its  employes  the 
best  compensation  that  .  the  '  business  of  the

this  will  be  the  policy  of  the  company  for  all  future

less  than  upon  the  instincts  of  humanity. 

CEX.  BUTLER  OS  RECIPROCITY.  ' 
Gen.  Butlor  ha.**  lately  visited  Prince  Edward 
Island,  and  while  there  made  a  brief  address  at  a 
meetingbfi>ersons  collected  to  witness  some  manly 
sports.  Hejs  thus  rejiortcd  by  a  local  paper  ;  "  Kino

then  thatT-^ould  liavo  been  able  to  obtain  recipro-

of  the  good  feeling  that  should  exist  between  the  two

you,  and  they  always  brought  back  a  good  report.  I 
and  my  friends  came  seeking  to  have  the  free  inter- 
course which  had  before  existed  renewed.  Unfortunate 
events  preveiitA'd  that  Idea  of  reciprocitv  f  roui  taking 
effect.  But  the  time  laaa  come  now  wlieii  the  lalwr- 
ing  men  of  the  groat  towns  of  our  Eastern  coast

We  must  have  your  notatoes.  The  i>otato  in  this 
island  attains  greater  perfection  than  anywhere  ^se 
on  this^ earth.  The  exigencies  of  our  wtu-  made  it 
ne«iasttry  to  place  a  heavy — almost  prohibitory — 
duty  of  l5  cents  a  bushel  upon  this  article  of  food, 
which  has  become  to  us  an  article  of  prime  nooessi- 
ty.  Speaking  for  myself,  I  may  suy  that  I  hopo 
the  United  otates  ^vill  take  the  first  opportunity  of 
removing  tho  tariff  from  potatoes.  \ou  have  an- 
other production  in  which  you  excel,  and  from 
which  we  must  strive  to  remove  the  duty— the 
article  of  oats.  We  must  ioi^k  to  you  for  sup- 
plies of  oats,  which  are  boMer  than  we  can  ob

cheats  the  State.  As  one  who  appreciates  the  diffl-

STATED.  ,  ,  Z". 

A  very  notewortby  deciaibn  was  made  by 
Jadge  Robinson,  in  Ch^^bers  oitbe  Court  of  GoSa^ 
mon  Hms,  yesterday,  which*  may  have  the  effect  of 
putting  a  stop  to  the  excessive  awards  to  counsel  and 
otiiers  el!^>loyed  in  easep  of  gsneral  Mstgnmants  for 
the  benefit  of  creditors.  The  decision  referred  to  is 
in  the  matter'ofthe  final  MujMinting  of  William  L. 
Scott,  as  Assignee  of  KenyOn,  Cox  &  Co.,  and  of 
David  Dows,  special  Tmsiee.  IJtepben  H.  Olin 
was  appointed  Referee  by  tbe  court  to  eysmine  and 
pass' upon  the  aecoxuot,  Ac,  In^jOta- matter.  The  pro- 
ceeding for  the  aceonnting  originated  npon  the  peti- 
tion of,  John  F.  Tracy,  a  creditor  of  tbe  as8lg;ner's,  to 
the  amount  of  $134.  Mr.  Olin.  presented 
-bis  report  to  .  tiia  cotirt,  sta^g  tbe  ac- 
cotmta,  and  lecomxnended  the  making  of  etaett^ 
awards  to  the  attgrneyi^^ti^  Assignee,  and  the  speSal 
Trustee  for  services.  These*  recommendation*  or 
awards  are  rather  remarkable.  Tba8,-^to  tbe  cotuisel 
for  the  petitioning  cireditor,  such  creditor's  whole 
claim  being  only  1^134,  Mr.  OUa  awarded  $400  for 
his  services.  To  the  special  Trustee,  Mr.  Dows, 
wboee  legs!  cosunissions  at  the  rate  allowed  by  law 
to  Executors  '  and  Admlnfutrators  ainoiint  to 
$3,820  59,  Mr.  Olin  awarded  $0,000.  To  the  As- 
signee, Scott,  whose  legal  commissions  are  $11^- 
392  91,  Mr,  Olin  sward^  $40,000.  "in  considera- 
tion of  the  laborious -nature  of  bis^^ties  aS^  tbe 
great  skiU  and  fidelity  displayed  by  Nm."  To  Messrs. 
Tracy,  Obnstead  &  Tracy,  the  counsel  for  Scott, 
who  had  already  been  pyid  $1,000,  l^r.  Olin  awarded 
the  further  sum  <rf'^ $10,000.  In  regard  to 
these  awards.  It  may  pe  said  that  no  objection  was 
made  by  any  of  the  persons,  interested,  but  Judge 
Robinson,  who  was  asked  to  confirm  Mr.  OHn's  re- 
port, went  (Jut  of  the  usual  cotirse,  and,  solely  on  be- 
half of  the  court,  sets  the  seal  of  disapproval  on  this 
means  of  frittering  away  an  -estate.  In  his  opinion 
ho  says  :  "Theee  daims  are  in  earfi  instance  start- 
ling, from  the  large  aniounts  propcned  and  cJaimed 
as  compensation  for  the  service  f^de^^vid  sug- 
gest tbe  acquisition  of  fortunes  of  tbo^anJis  of  dol- 
lars in  the  happy  accident  of  an_employh»mt  Ih-t^g 
course  of  tbe  execution  of  such  an  assignment. 
They  strike  me  as  excessively  exorbitant,  and  the 
recommendation  of  tho  Referee  fails  to  meet  my 
appr0*rSJ  or  confinnation.  Tho  .  jcourta,  in 
th/distrlhdtion  of  estates  intrusted  by  law  to  their 
adnaniGtration  are,  to  a  great  extent,  acting .  for 
absent  creditors,  or  .unrepresented  parties,  who  re- 
pose with  confidence  upon  the.  judicial  care  and 
watchfulness  of  the  coarts  over  their  interests.  No 
right  exists  in  such  tribanals  to  sequester  tho  monov, 
efpiitably  belonging  t<t  'others,  in  lavish'  and  "inju- 
dicioHA^olloWances  to  Trustees  pr-  their  attorneys  or 
agents  engaged  in  such  udminiHtration.  or  to  counsel 
who  appear  in  the  proccedinc  for  distribution  ;  but 
they  are  bound  to  regard  every  dollar  thus  appropri- 
ated as  involuntarily  exacted  and  levied  from  .Its 
lawful  owner  for  the  necessary  expenses  of  iadminls. 
tratlon.  As  to  that  item  in  the  ■^laim  presented  by 
counsel  for  the  x>*'itioningivcr6<iHo^  (whose  debt  is 
le.^  than  5»130)  to  an  allopfance  of  9^00,  there  is  no 
law  or  principle  of  justice  accepted  oiuicted  upon  by 
thelconrts  which  jostifids  any  such  awm-d  to  him  out 
of  t/he  tmst  funds.  ■  *  \  *  it  does  Doyappear  that, 
iutK^HLrd  to  the  claim  of  the  prtitioning  creditor, 
there  was  any  dispute  before  tb«rKoferee  m  respect 
To  it  which  rnquirod  a  trial  before  him.  and  the  pro- 
ceeding he  instituted  wa.s  superseded  by-tho  Inter- 
vention, of  the  Assiicnea  undet  claim  of  zij^ht  to  a 
i^nR^  accounUng,  and  with  it  the  claim  of  this  credl- 
tuc,  so  far  as  appears,  was  recognized  witbouty  ques- 
tion or  contest'. 

There  having  be«n  no  content.  Judge  Robinson 
says  the  creditor's  attorney  is  npt.en^tlodtoanyfees, 
and  he  denius  tbe  claiu^,  an :  well  as  those  of  Mr. 
I>ows  for  $<i,«)00.  and  of  Mr.  Scott  for  $40,000.  In 
regard  to  the  two  latter  claims  Judge  Robinson  s^rs  : 
"  There  is  no  provision  or  principle  of  law  thtffper- 
mits  any  increase  of  the  allowances  beyond  the  statu- 
tory f-ompej^ion  made  to  Executors  and  Admiuls- 
trutors.  Tno> acceptance  of  the  execution  of  a'

and  '  lu  general  hi^  p<utitiou  ^  hoiforary  and  a 
burden  upon  bis  honor  ajid  conscience,  and*  not  one 
assumed  upon  mercenary  views.'  Although  the 
law  exactii  tiie  most  cunscientiotis  discharge  of  hi^i 
duly,  nothing  can  bg/T"  allowed  heyond 
such  statutory  allowance,  under  claim  for  excest^  of 
zeal  or  os^umptioii  of  more  linorous  duties  than 
micht  have  l>eeiS  exacted.  *  '  •  *  There  arefurtlier 
and  other  considerations  in  respect  to  the  claim  of 
their  attorneys  and  counsel  to  an  allowance  of  $10.- 
000  for  the  conduct  of  these  proceedings  upon  the  = 
accounting,  in  addition  to  the  sum  of  $l,i)00  allowed 
end  paid  tb«afrrM>-a~iut:_in  the  course  of  theadmtnis- 
tniLion  of  the  assigned  estate.  Tho  simple  employ- 
ment of  such  officers  of  the  law  to  aid  an 
.Assigiiee  having  a  mllllou  dollars  to  administeV.  doe« 
not  necessnrily.  or  by  any  just  deductiou  from  the 
uiof^itude  of  the  sum,  entitle  them  to  any  Increased 
eompensation  for  their  services  beyond  what*  might ' 
be  allowed  to  tt  like  empio\-ment  of  a  clerk  or  otUer 
asftistant.  or  to  any  such  engagement  where  the  fund 
was  small  lu  amount,-  The  serviies  rendered  are  to 
lie^  rnmunerated  according  to  a  fair  and  reasonable 
estimate  as  in  any  other  ordinary  c&ses  of  employ- 
ment, and  the  amount  (An  have  no  just  dependence 
for  its  ustimale  upon  the  extent  or  character  of  the 
fund  to  be  tulminit?»(_red.  The  emploio^nt  in  mot- 
tcrs  involving  large  sums  confers  njn  right  to  '  honor- 
arium '  or  gratuity,  but  Is  to  be  compensated  for 
upon  legolgjSdeoce  of  such  proj^er  compensation  as 
is  due  to  file  particular  service.*" 

Judge  i^binsou  then  proceeds  to  say  that  in  such 
act'onutings  the  .work  i.s  generally  moi^e  mechanical 
than  grofes.'donal.  and  that  In  the  present  Instance 
there  is  nothing  to  show  that  the  counsel  are  entitled  . 
to  the  larce  fees  mpntioned.-  In  con(^lusion.  Judiiu 
Robinson  decides  to  disallow  the  fees  to  the  attorney 
for  the  petltioniuicScreditor.  and  -also  to  difidlow 
everything  above  tbe  a^tutory  compensation  to  the 
Assignee  ahjd  special  Trustee.  As  to  the  value  of 
the -service*  of  Messrs.  ^Tracy.  Olmstead  &  Tracy. 
Judge  R<jbinAhn  orders  a  new  reference  to  ex-Judge 
Bosworth,  Mr;  OUn  being  now  abroad. 

A  SLANDERER  PUNISHED. 
tlesse  Abrams,  Hying  at  No.  66  Cbarlton- 
stxcet,  and  a  waiter  at  the  St.  Denis  Q^^tel.  had 
James  MfiClellan,  superintendent  In  the  restaurant 
at  >'o.  26  Walker-street,  arraigned  before  Justice 
Wandell,  In-  JelTerson  Market-  Police  Court,  yester- 
day, on  a  charge  of  assault  and  battery.  Prom  the 
evidence  it  appeared  that  about  a  year  ago  Abrams 
was  a  waiter  under.  MoCl«llan.  During  that  time 
McClellan  had  a  piece  of  cloth  which  he  had 
no  nso  for,  and  ho  gave  It  to  A  bram*:. 
lie  took  it  to  Joseph  Anderson,  a  tailor, 
who  made  a  coat  for  him.  As  Abrama 
did  not  pay  the  tailor  for  making  the 
coat,  and,  aa  he  was  very  often  dunned  for  it  without 
success,  a  bitter  feeiinc  sprang  up  between  Anderson 
and  Abrams.  About  three  weelui  ago  Abrams  met 
McClellan,  and  sn^d  to  him:  ''"You  and  I  ai-o  good 
friends,  r  hate  to  see  yon  fooled.  I  am  going  to  give 
some  Information  about  on  ugly  affair,  the  same  .-vs 
I'd  want  vou  to  do  for  me,  if  we  were  in  each  other "s 
tiloces.  Watch  your  wife.  I  have  seen  her  at  night, 
during  your  absence,  out  ^v^llking  with  Anderson  on 
South  fifth-avenue  under  suspicious  circumstances, 
and  In  a  bod  neiirbborhood."  This  information  as-' 
toundod  McClelhm,  who  had-  the  utmost  confidence 
In  his  wife ;  but.  considering  tbtt-wSy  it  was  given  to 
him,  he  felt  thankful  to  his  informant.  After 
worrying  several  days  about  the  matter.  Mc- 
CloUan  told  all  to  his  wife.  She  felt  very  indig- 
nant, and  stoutly  denied  the  story.  She  further  de- 
manded that  she  should  be  confronted  with  herslan- 
derer.  McClellan  then  tried  to  effect  a  meeting  be- 
tween Abrams  and  Mrs.  McClellan.  but  did  not  suc- 
ceed until  last  Tuesday  evening.'  Then  he  succeeded 
in  inaucing  .Abrams  to  call  at  his  house  without  let- 
ting him  Imow  why  he  wanted  him.  As  soon  as  the" 
three  were  to«ether.  McClellah  fastened  the  doo;r, 
told  Abrams. what  he  wanted,  and  demanded  that  he 
tell  Mrs.  McClellan  the  same  story  he  had  told  him. 
After  a  great  deal  of  hesitation  Abrams  proceeded  to 
ioll  the  story,  Imt  he  varied  It  so.  and  contradicted 
himself  BO  often  that  McClellan  -concluded 
t  there  was  something-  wrong.  He.  tbere- 
pnllod  out  a  pistol,  aud  placing  the 
muzzle  SKainst  Abrom  s  temple,  demanded  to 
know  the  exact  truth.  Abrams  fell  to  his  knees,  ac- 
knowledged that  th£jtory  was  ftUse,  that  he.had  In- 
vented it  for  khercrarpose  of  setting  McClelland-upon 
Anderson,  and  crossing  his  hands,  begged  piteously 
for  his  Kfe.  McClelland  was  so  indignant  that  he 
could  not  restrain  his  anger,  and  he  fell  upon  Abran^ 
aud  bj?at  him  in  the  most  unmerc!^tl  manner.  Jus- 
tlce^Wondell  was  somewhat  unwilling  to  ptinish 
McdoUan  for  his  conduct  under  the  circumstances, 
bnt'  finoHy  fined  him'  $10,  which  was  paid,  and  put 
him  tmder  $3p0  boil  to.c^pear  at  oourt. 

A  FRAUDULENT  BANKRUPTCY  CASK. 
Adolph  Stelnbei^,  a  wholesale  dealer  in  cloth- 
ing at  No.  37  Walker-street,  gave  $10,000  bail  yes- 
terday before  Commissioner  Deuel  to  anawer  a 
chaTKe  of  fraudulent  baulcruptcy,  in  having,  sa  al> 
leged.  bought  ^>od8  on  credit,  knowing  himself  to  be

had  failed  with  liabilities  amounting  to  $70,000,  and 
had  effected  a  composition  with  his  creditors  at  20 
cents  on  the  dollar,  which  had  been  confirmed,  and 
tliat  crimbml  proceedings  had  been  token  at  the  in-

It  will  b«  satisfactory  to  the  Democracy 
*f  the  State  to  learn  that  in  the  matter,  of 
Dominations  this  Fall  Gov.  Robinson  has 
,"  no  wish  to  dietats."  For  it  happens  that 
John  Kelly  has  not  only  got  the  wish  but 
also  the  power  to  dictate,  and  if  the  Gov- 
ernor's way  of  enforcing  his  wishes  were  as 
emphatic  as  his  e.\pressiou  of  opinion,  there 
■Moold  neees-sarily  be  a  fight.-  Gov,  KoBlN- 
SON  thinks  that  the  best  conceivable  Demo- 
eratie  ticket  would  be  one  composed  of  the 
present  State  oflicers,  but  as  he  is  a 
good  deal  more  afraid  of  Kelly  than 
.-was  Gov.  Tilden,  and  as  Kelly  is  pledged 
,to  defeat  BiGELOW  aud  Fairchild,  it  may 
■be  safely  assumed  that  Tammany  Hall  will 
liave  its  own  way  in  the  State  Convention. 
It  is  not  a  little-amusing  to  hear  Gov.  RoB- 
INSON  talk  abont  the  danger  of  "  lowering 
the  standard  of  reform  upborne  by  the 
X)emocratic  E&rty,"  when  ho  has  been,  in 
his  treatment  of  City  legislation,  the  mere 
tool  of  KEU.Y  and  Tammany  Ha  11 — the  natu- 
fral  enemies  of  all  reform  wheth'er  expressed 
■in  an  increase  of  ability  or  a..d%crease  of 
exponditi/re  in  administration. 

The^  iCrraud  Jury  in  session  at  Columbia, 
8.  C,  b  avB  found  true  bills  against  a  num- 
ber of  the  former  officers  of  the  State  Gov- 
eruuK.-nt.  The  offenses  charged  range  from 
'bre:«jh  of  trust  to  forgeiy  and  conspiracy  to 
brib  8  the  Legislature,  and  they  are  brought 
aga  inst  ex-Gov.  Moses,  ex-Gk>v.  Scorr, 
Ui.ited  States  Senator  Patterson,  ex- 
t.-easurcr  Parker,  and  H.  H.  Knip- 
TON,  of  this  City.  It  is  alleged, 
^»md  is  not  improbable,  that  these  proae- 
•cutions  are  inciEeS  by  political  animosity, 
but  we  trust  that  they  will  nevertheless 
be  energetically  pushed.  There  has  been 
a  good  deal  of  very  bad  work  in  South  Caro- 
lina, ajid  trial  by  jury  ought  to  bring  out 
the  tmth.  It  is  certainly  a  far  manlier  weap- 
on of  political  warfare — if  it  be  so  em- 
ploj-ed  in  this  case — than  the  shot-gun  and 
the  Tope. 

Raphael  Semhes  is  dead  at  the  age  of 
■6S.  Had,  he  followed  tlie  trade  of  piracy 
»?:ainst  a  less  generous  people  he  would 
have  died  twelve  years  ago.  The  foreign 
jTiower  which  gave  him  the  means  to  sink, 
■bum,  arnd  destroy  the  merchant  vessels  of 
the  United  States  has  paid  for  its  disregard 
of  the  law  of  nations  ;  the  domestic  rebellion 
whioli  famished  him  an  excuse  for  talring 
up  the  trade  of  murder .  aud  robbery  has 
been  forgiven.  Let  us,  then,  remember 
only  that  the  Captain  of  the  Alabama  was 
a  gallant  sailor  and  a  brave  man ;'  that  he 
b  ;id  the  good  sense  and  the  good  taste  to 
.keep  out  of  politics,  and  that  he  has  never 
esteemed  it  to  be  the  duty  of  a  Southern 
''  patriot '^  to  spurn  the  clemency  and  revile 
the  motives  of  the  long-suffering  power 
■which  permitted  him  to  die  in  his  bed. 

The  totest  dispatches  from  the  seat  of  war 
hint  that  Sctleimaji  Pasha  is  at  l.ength  begin- 
ning to  yield  to  the  logic  of  facts,  and  inclin- 
ing totdo  what  he  ought  to  haveMone  at  the 
very  first — viz :  to  attain  his  object  by  a 
flank:  inarch  instead  of  a  direct  attack  in. 
fronL  Mehbmet  Ali's  recent  demonstra- 
tioEi  in  the  direction  of  Bebrova  has 
sketched  in  outline,  so  to  speak,  the  best 
course  for  his  brother  General  to  pursue, 
and  that  course  nimiistakably  is  to  leave 
'RASSDt  Pasha  at  the  mouth  of  the  Sohipka 
Pass  wiQi  a  strong  corps  of  (Observation,  to 
jomHf-jmcXT  Ali  with  the  Iralk  of  Ida  Army 
tj  iqv  of  tb«  Tracditia  defllq,   and  to 


menaee  with  a  combined  attack  the  Bug- 
sian  positions  at  Gabrova  and  Timova. 
Such  a  direct  blow  at  the  very  centre  ot  the 
Bnssian  line  would  inevitably  draw  to  its 
focus  every  available  battalion,  and  thus 
weaken,  if  not  actually  defeat,  the  blow 
now  impending  over  OsMAK  Pasha.  ■  But 
should  the  present  isolation  of  the  three 
Torkish  commanders  last  but  a  little  while 
longer,  the  stroke  at  the  Army  of  Plevna 
which  has  been  preparing  so  long,  and 
which  the  Turks  are  now  massing  all  tlieir ' 
disposable  forces  to  meet,  will  find  it  alone 
and  unsupported  ;  and  it  would  be  venture- 
some indeed  to  prophesy  that,  with  all  the 
chances  in  their  favor,  the  third  assault  ^f 
the  Russians  will  fall  as  harmlessly  as  its 
two  predecessors  have  done. 


There  are  no  details  in  regard  t  o  the  rail- 
road accident  near  Bes  Moines  to  alter  the 
opinion  expressed  on  behalf  of  the  Bock 
Island  ofiBcials  that  "no  amount  of  fore- 
sight" could  have  prevented  the  calamity. 
Considering  the  fact  that  another  bridge  in 
advance  of  the  iU-f  ated  train  had  been  under- 
mined, aud  that  had  the  train  reached  that 
point  the  accident  wouldhave been  of  a  much 
more  serious  character  the  reflection  about 
its  inevitable  character  is  not  a  consoling 
one.  Most  people  will  incline  to  the  opinion 
that  a  railroad  company  must  be  held  re- 
sponsible for  allowing  its  trains  to  reach, 
without  warning,  a  portion  of  its  track 
which  has"  been  washed  away.  If 
the  Bock  Island  Company  has  failed 
to  provide  a  system  of  signals  by 
which  the  engineer  of  a  train  can  be  in- 
formed of  the  nearness  of  certain  destruc- 
tion, the  sooner  it  provides  such  a  system 
the  better,  and  the  more  roundly  it  is  com- 
pelled to  pay  for  the  consequences  of  the 
present  disaster  the  more  promptly  will  it 
find  it  to  be  its  interest  to  render  another 
such  sacrifice  of  human  life  impossible  in 
future. 


Mr.  Thomas  A.  Scott  has  contributed  to 
the  Xorth  American  Review  an  article  on  the 
recent  railroad  strikes  which  contains  a 
very  strong  argument  for  the  Federal 
policing  of  railroads  as  inter-State  high- 
ways of  commerce.  Mr.  Scott  holds  that 
"  the  authority  of  the  United  States,  now 
potent  to  protect  commerce  moving  upon 
the  waters,  should  be  equally  potent 
when  the  same  commerce  is  exposed  to 
greater  peril  on  land."  It  follows,  of  course, 
that  the  regulating  powera  exercised  by  Con- 
gress In  regard  to  river  and  lake  navigation 
should  be  extended  over  railroad  traffic 
also.  The  latter  has  as  much  outgrown 
the  control  of  State  legislation  as  it 
Jias  the  efficient  protection  of  local 
Police  and  State  Militia.  It  is  hardly  to  be 
wondered  at  that  Mr.  ScoTT  should  give 
prominence  to  the  rights  of  the  railroad 
companies,  to  the  exclusion  of  their  respon- 
sibilities. But  he  can  hardly  expect  that 
Congi-ess  should  take  cognizance  of  the  one 
without  paying  some  attention  to  the  other. 


DEMOCBATIC  PLATFORMS. 

An  examination,  of  the  most  careless 
kind,  of  the  Democratic  platform  adopted 
in  Iowa  will  show  that  it  is  substantially 
identical  with  that  adopted  in  Ohio.  In- 
deed, the  two  contain  several  resolutions 
couched  in  the  same  language,  bearing 
evidence  of  being  the  common  product  of 
pome  such  central  agency  as  started  the 
New-York  resolutions  on  their  travels  in 
1S76,  and  which  afterward  turned  up  in  the 
shape  of  the  Liberty-street  "  bureau  of  nin- 
compoops." The  Pennsylvania  platform 
was  the  work  of  a  different  hand,  apparently 
that  of  a  local  lunatic  who  had  lost  his  wits 
in  the  study  of  the  vast  and  varied  stock  of 
views  put  on  paper  by  the  Democrats  of 
Pennsylvania  during  the  last  twenty  years. 
It  wottW  Bave  "beea  better  for  the  party,  per- 
haps, if  they  had  stuck  to  the  regular  track 
in  Pennsylvania.  The  result  would  have 
been  more  intelligible,  if  not  more  sound. 

In  Iowa  we  see  the  final  step  in  the 
gradation  by  which  Democratic  doctrine 
starts  from  rank  protection  and  arrives  at 
comparative  free  trade.  Generally,  the 
protection  is  found  in  Pennsylvania,  though 
this  year  it  seems  to  have  been  forgotten  or 
so  hopelessly  wrapped  up  in  words  that  no 
offe^an  lind  either  it  or  its  rival  principle. 
In  Ohio  we  reach  the  point  where  the  Demo- 
crats feel  bold  enough  to  declare  in  favor 
of  a  "  tariff  for  revenue,"  lea\'ing  every- 
one free  to  guess  whether  they  also  favor  a 
tariff  for  something  besides  revenue,  some- 
thing incidental,  for  instance,  in  the  way 
of  protection.  By  the  time  Iowa  is  reached, 
the  Democratic  spirit  is  freed  from  tlie  op- 
pressive sense  of  large  iron  interests  and 
woolen  mills,  aud  we  find  a  frank 
declaration  in  favor  >  of  "a  tariff 
for  revenue  only."  This  capacity  for 
changing  the  color  of  economic  professions 
according  to  locality  is  not,  we  regret  to 
say,  confined  to  the  Democrats,  but  it  has 
attained  a  growth  and  a  certain  degree  of 
audacity  with  them  which  are  nneqnaled 
elsewhere.  We  are  not  sorry  to  see  it,  be- 
cause when  the  time  comes  for  the  economic 
issue  in  national  politics — as  it  very  well 
may  come  again  and  as  distinctly  ^s  it  did 
before  the  slavery  question  drove  all  others 
from  the  public  mind — these  frank  varia- 
tions of  profession  will  help  the  reorgani- 
zation which  must  inevitably  ensue. 

In  regard  to  finance  the  Iowa  Democrats 
are  as  bad  as  the  worst.  They  adopted  the 
stereotype  resolutions,  calling  for  the  "  im- 
mediate repeal  ot  the  Specie  Besumption 
act,"  "  the  passage  of  an  act  which  shall  re- 
store to  silver  its  monetary  power,"  "against 
any  further  contraction,"  in  favor  of  the 
"substitution  of  greenbacks  for  national 
bank  bills,"  and  of  "  one  currency  for  the 
Government  and  the  people,  laborer  aud 
oflloe-holder,  pensioner  and  soldier,  the 
producer  and  bondholder."  All  these 
things  are  proposed,  as  usual,  "  as  a 
means  of  relieving  the  distressed 
portion  of  the  commnnity  and  re-^ 
moving  the  great  stringency  complained  of 
in  business  circles."  It  is  probably  a  waste 
of  time,  as  far  as  the  Democratic  masses  are 
concerned,  to  point  out  the  utter  useless- 
ness  of  the  means  proposed  to  attain  the 
end  professed,  but  as  long  as  these  bald 
sophistries  continue  to  be  repeated  in  sober 
earnest  as  the  doctrines  of  a  powerful  po- 
Utioal  party  they  cannot  be  ignored.  If 
the  measures  indorsed  by  the  Democratic 
conventions  could  be  put  into  immediate 
operation,  so  far  from  relieving  such 
distress  as  exists,  or  removing  what  is  cu- 
riously oalled  "  stringency,"  they  must  have 
exactly  the  oppoaita  effect.  The  repeal  of 
the  Specie  BesuBBttva'aot  irotild  atarlke  at 


the  basis  of  all  butiness  calculations,  would 
introduce  infinite  nncertaipty  into  all  opera- 
tions, besides  infii^ting  on  the  country  the 
disgrace  of  nnnecessaty  and  inexousahle  re- 
pudiation. The  restoration  of  the  silver 
dollar,  of  the  old  weight  and  fineness,  which 
is  what  is  meant  by  ' '  restoring  to  silver  its 
monetary  power,"  would  aggravate  the  evils 
that  would  flow  from  a  repeal  of  the  Be- 
sumption act.  It  would  expose  us  to  an  im- 
mediate drain  of  gol<f,  an  influx  of  silver 
from  the  cverstocked  markets'  of  Eu- 
rope, a  rapid  and  feverish  advance 
in  the  gold  premium,  and  a  new 
series  of  ruinous  fluctuations  in  the  actual 
value  of  our  circulating  medium.  To,  sup- 
pose that  these  things  would  relieve  distress 
is  to  overlook  the  lesson  of  the  past  dozen 
years,  and  to  fail  completely  to  sea  the 
origin  of  the  distress  which  is  actually  ex- 
perienced. And,  finally,  the  substitution  of 
greenbacks  for  national  bank  notes;  and  the 
repeal  of  the  restrictions  on  the  legal-tender 
quality  of  the  former,  would  pltmge  us  into 
ah  abyss  from  which  it  would  be  very  hard 
Jto  emerge.  After  a  great  deal  of  trouble,  and 
as  a  sort  of  compromise  with  the  inflation 
ists,  we  have  at  last  got  the  law">«garding 
national  banks  in  such  shape  that  it\s  pos- 
sible for  these  institutions  to  regulata^eir 
issues  according  to  the  "  wants  of  trai8e." 
So  far  as  the  notes  are  concerned  we  now 
have  "  free  banking."  There  is  no  limit 
to  the  issue  of  notes  except  the  limit  im- 
posed by  the  required  security.  But  with 
this  power  of  indefinite  increase  there  is 
also  the  power  of  indefinite  withdrawal,  and 
it  is  this  which  incites  the  inflationists  to 
their  attacks  upon  the  banks.  If  the  latter 
were  ready  and  willing  to  flood  the  country 
with  notes,  a9d  to  lend  them,  to  every  one 
who  imagined  he  felt  a  "  stringency  "  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the  pocket,  we  should 
have  no  Democratic  clamor  for  the  substi- 
tution of  greenbacks  for  bank  notes.'  Yet 
in  this  power  of  gradual  and  well-distrib- 
uted contraction  of  note  issues  lies  the  real 
safety  of  the  banking  system  and  of  the 
business  of  the  country.  If  we  were  to- 
abolish  this  system  our  currency  would 
have  to  be  regulated  by  Congress,  and  that 
would  be  a  state  of  things  absolutely  ruin- 
ous to  all  trade.  We  think  wo  have 
suffered  somewhat  from  depression  for  the 
last  four  years,  but  if  the  Democratic 
statesmen  of  Iowa  and  Ohio  had  their  way 
we  should  have  an  experience  whieh  would 
make  us  look  back  on  that  period  as  a  sfot 
of  financial  Eden  from  whieh  we  had  beeh 
driven. 

It  is,  perhaps,  worth  noting  that  the  cus- 
tomary resolution  expressing  the  Democratic 
disgust  with  the  result  of  the  Electoral 
Commission  which  was  forced  on  the  coun- 
try by  the  Democrats  in  Congress  is  omit- 
ted in  the  Iowa  platform.  It  is  true  that  a 
very  temporary  Chairman  declared  in  his 
speech  that  Samuel  J.  Tilden  must 
be  "  vindicated,  by  hi^-'renomination  in 
1S80,"  and  that  this  dubious  compliment 
to  the  ex-candidate  was  received  with  .great 
cheering.  But  such  individual  ventures  are 
of  slight  importance.  The  formal  platforms 
are  constructed  to  leave  Mr.  Tilden  out  in 
the  cold,  and  the  inconsequent  cheering  of 
the  crowd  will  be  small  compensation  to 
him  for  the  studied  indifference  with  which 
he  personally  is  treated,  even  where  the 
"  fraud"  of  installing  his  rival  is  denounced. 
The  Iowa  platform  indicates  an  increasing 
tendency  to  let  him  severely  alone. 


LEGALIZED  WASTE  ASD  UNPITSISHED 
FRAUD. 

The  unfortunate  policy-holders  of  the 
Continental  Life  Company  cannot  derive 
consolation  from  the  facts  we  printed 
yesterday  with  reference  to  the  w*ste  of  its 
resources  which  has  been  going  on  since  its 
insolvency  was  formally  declared.  The 
original  exposure  was  sufficiently  disheart- 
ening. The  reckless  and  dishonest  man- 
agement which  had  ruingd  the  con- 
cern,— the  indifference  ^  to  moral  and 
business  responsibility  evinced  by 
those  who  should  have  jealously 
i^arded  the  company's  interests, — the 
knavery  employed  to  conceal  the  true  state 
of  the  case,  and  to  avert  the  collapse  which 
every  man.  behind  the  scenes  must  have 
known  to  be  sooner  or  later  inevitable, — 
were  so  many  proofs  of  the  iiiadequaey  of 
the  means  at  present  provided  for  protect- 
ing policy-holders  and  justifying  the  confi- 
dence of  the  public.  When  at  last  the 
break-down  came,  and  the  Continental  was 
presented  as  an  illu.stration  of  corporate 
mismanagement  and  official  fraud,  the  pol- 
icy-holders were  entitled  to  expect,  first, 
the  conscientious  administration  of  the  af- 
fairs of  the  company  during  the  period 
required  for  winding  them  up,  and,  second, 
the  prompt  prosecution  and  punishment 
of  the  persons  chargeable  with  the  misuse 
of  the  company's  assets  and  the  conceal- 
ment of  its  condition.  Neither  of  these 
expectations  has  been  realized.  The  guilty 
parties  are  still  unpunished.  Either  the 
law  so  favors  the  perpetrators  of  corpdrate 
rascalit)-  that  they  are  assured  of  ultimate 
impunity,  or  the  officials  on  whom  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  criminal  law  devolves 
look  with  lenient  eyes  upon  crimes  that 
should  consign  their  authors  to  the  peni- 
tentiary. As  regards  the  remaining  prop- 
erty of  the  company,  it  is  evidently  being 
squandered  in  a  manner  which  may  be 
agreeable  to  the, lawyers  concerned,  but 
which  may  well  irritate  and  disgust  the 
class  to  whom  every  doUarproperly  belongs. 

When  a  life  insurance  company  becomes 
bankrupt,  the  custody  of  its  property 
should  be  transferred  to  the  policy-holders 
or  some  agent  or  committee  acting  in  their 
behalf.  They  are  the  real  owners,  and 
they  alone  should  control  its  management. 
The  stockholders  have  no .  equitable  claim 
to  considerationf  Their  capital,  at  best  a 
bagatelle,'  is  gone,  and  all  the  company  has 
is  the  result  of  the  policy-holders'  contri- 
butions. The  latter  class,  therefore, 
should  alone  be  consulted  both  as 
to  the  method  of  dealing  with  the 
wreck,  and  the  hands  employed  for  the 
purpose.  In  truth,  however,  the  policy- 
holders are  ignored.  The  law  accords  them 
no  voice  in  the  management  of  their  own 
money.  The  stockholders,  who  have  no 
longer  any  interest  to  protect,  are  consult- 
ed, and  tiie  officer  on  whom  the  law  confers 
the  most  absolute  power  acts  without  refer- 
ence to  aught  beyond  his  own  will.  Some 
of  the  more  immediate  consequences  are 
seen  in  the  sums  paid  to  the  lawyers  who, 
under  one  guise  or  another,  and  under  vari- 
ous forms  of  authority,  have  been  permitted 
to  fasten  themselves  npon  the  estate  of  the 
CoatiaentaL 


with  the  lelatiTe  moderation  or  greed  of  the 
legal  gentlemen  who  have  at  different  stages 
been  retained.  'What  does  concern  every 
holder j>f  the  company's  policies  is  the  fact 
that  since  it  was  proclaimed  insolvent  up- 
ward of  eighty  thou^nd  dollajrej,,Qf_their 
money  have  been  disbursed  nnd^rthe  head 
of  legal  charges,  and  that  the  bills  presented 
by  other  lawyers  seem  l^ely  to  ab- 
sorb more  than  forty  thousand  dol- 
lars in  addition.  And  the  winding- 
up  process  is  hardly  begun.  '  Legal 
squabbling  is  still  going  on,  and  no  tangi- 
ble progress  has  been  made  with  the  work 
of  adjusting  and  closing  the  compan^s  af- 
fairs. At  this  rate  a  very  large  propHrtion 
of  the  available  assets  will  be  wasted ;  and  • 
the  outraged  policy-holders  are  compelled 
to  look  on  in  alence.  That  courts  sanction 
the  procee<Mi4;sris  to  these  unlucky  mortals 
a  matter  of  indifference.  They  only  know 
that  Tftws  professedly  designed  to  protect 
them^e in  operation  a  sham  and  a  snare, 
and  that  the  law  in  relation  to  the  winding 
up  of  insolvent  companies  utterly  fails  to 
accomplish  the  objects  which  should,  be 
paramount.  There  is  another  consideration 
whieh  deserves  the  attention  of  every  man 
whose  life  is  insured,  and  of  every  man  who 
contemplates  insurance,  tuid  it  is  this :  De- 
fective as  the  laws  notoriously  are — ^inade- 
quate as  they  are  for  the  purposes  which 
formed  the  pretext  for  their  enactment — 
their  radical  amendment  is  resisted  by  the 
life  insurance  companies  generally,  and  'is 
frustrated  by.  the  intrigues  and  votes  of 
members  of  the  Legislature,  who  do  the  bid- 
ding of  the  companies  without  reference  to 
the  rights  of  policy-holders  or  the  interests 

of  the  community.         

The  story  of  the  Continental,  black  as  it 
is,  is  in  some  respects  outdone  by  the  record 
of  the  New-Jersey  Mutual.  A  certain  con- 
nection existed  between  the  two  companies. 
The  same  knaves  figure  in  both.  Their 
daring  and  skill,  however,  appear  to  have 
had  their  most  complete  dovelopement  in 
the  management  of  the  New-Jersey  Mutual. 
Mr,  Fackler's  actuarial  report  left  little 
room  for  doubt  upon  this  point.  The  re- 
port ot  Mr.  Kelsey,  the  Secretary 
of  State  of  New-Jersey,  brushes  awaj' 
all  excuses  for  skepticism,  and  reveals 
a  condition  of  things  whieh  must 
shake  the  faith  of  men  in  this  branch  of 
corporate  management.  Carelessness  had 
nothing  to  do  jvitE~the  banfiniptcy  of  the 
compaii}-.  Misfortunes  are  not  accotmtable 
for  it.  Fraud  ia  at  the  bottom  of  the  whole 
matter.  Not  ^  a  single  act  of  wrong-doing, 
but  systematic  jtnd  persistent  fraud,  involv- 
ing officers  of  the  company  to  an  extent 
which  convicts  the  Directors  either  of  com- 
plicity or  of  a  blindness  that  must  be 
regarded  as  little  less  criminal.  There  are 
scores  qf  prisoners  at  this  moment  in 
Sing  Sing  whose  guilt,  in  its  nature  or  con- 
sequences, is  not  so  great  as  that  of  the  per- 
sons chargeable  with  the  conduct  which  Mr. 
Kelsey  describes.  The  thief  who  forces 
open  a  sate  and  carries  off  the  securities  he 
■finds  there  is  branded  for  life,  and  his  por- 
trait hangs  in  the  Police  gallery.  The 
officials  who,  having  the  keys  of  the  New- 
Jersey  Mutual  safe,  took  out  good  bonds 
and  hard  cash  and  substituted  worthless 
paper,  go  about  unmolested  with  their 
l)o'oty  in  their  .  pockets.  New-Jersey 
justice  is  proverbially  stem,  but  in 
this  instance  it  is  foiled.  The  knaves 
are  beyond  its  reach.  ilr.  Kelsey, 
who  unearthed  the  frauds  which  the  New- 
York  Insurance  Department  should  have 
detected  but  did  not.  and  whose  courage 
and  vigilance  entitle  him  to  hearty  com- 
mendation, is  assailed  in  the  interest  of  the 
knaves,  as  though  he  were  the  offender. 
The  whole  business  is  a  sad  commentary 
upon  the  integrity  of  what  is  known  as  the 
"insurance  press,"  and  upon  the  stand- 
ard of  right  and  duty  which  ob- 
tains in  the  insurance  world.  Every 
solvent  company,'  every  honest  life  insu- 
rance official,  has  a  direct  interest  In  bring- 
ing to  light  tha  malpractices  whieh  led  to 
the  ruin  of  the  New-Jersey  Mutual  and  in 
,  .-iecuring  the  punishment  of  all  connected 
with  them.  The  frauds  are  typical,  and 
their  perpetr.itors  are  the  worst  enemies  of 
a  provident  system.  The  former  seem  to  be 
regarded  in  some  quarters  as  less  objection- 
able than  the  exposure  of  them ;  andme  in- 
dignation whieh  should  cover  the  jn\roj 
doers  is  reserved  for  those  wuo  wojild  /ar- 
raign them  at  the  bar  of  a  criajijitfreoi 


THE  FUTURE  OF  MORMOXIS. 
It  may  be  considered  that  the  Morfaions 
had  no  permanent  establishment  until 
1848.  In  that  year  the  foundations  of  the 
State  of  Deseret  were  laid.  The  migra- 
tion to  the  heart  of  the  Continent  was  the 
step  whieh  was  necessary  to  give  perma- 
nency to  the  peculiar  organization  hereto- 
fore driven  from  point  to  point  by  hostile 
public  opinion.  Brigham  Young's  wise 
foresight  discovered  the  impossibility  of 
maintaining  Mormonism,  as  he  uuderstood 
it,  in  any  community  which  had  already  its 
own  lM)dy  of  laws,  habits  of  thought, 
and  domestic  institutions.  Here  was  a 
religious  belief  which,  embodying,  as  it  did. 
recent  so-called  revelations  from  heaven, 
was  in  itself  calculated  to  provoke  tho  criti- 
cism of  all  and  the  intolerant  attacks  of 
many.  But  the  Mormon  faith  might  have 
flourished  in  Missouri  or  Illinois,  as  it  has  in 
other  parts  of  the  world  outside  of  Utah. 
The  Mormonism  of  Young  comprehended  a 
union  ot  Church  and  State  whieh  was  not 
practicable  in  any  part  of  the  Bepublic 
already  under  the  organic  law.  Besides, 
polygamy,  which  was  "revealed"  to  the 
heads  of  the  Mormon  Church  long  before 
the  exodus  from  Nauvoo, .  could  not 
long  be  safely  practiced  in  any  of  the  States 
or  Territories  in  wliieh  the  so-called  gen- 
tiles had  direction  of  the  Government.  To 
build  up  the  Mormon  establishment  as 
Young  had  determined  that  it  must  be 
built,  it  was  necessary  to  conquer  for  it  a 
virgin  soil — to  possess  a  territory  which 
should  be  from  the  first  in  their  own  undis- 
puted occupation.  If  the  Mormons  had 
been  rich  enough,  they  probably  would 
have  taken  ship  to  some  far-off  island  where 
they  would  not  have  been  liable  to  any  inva- 
sion. They  undoubtedly  considered  that  they 
were  secure  in  their  isolation  in  the  waste  of 
the  continent.  There  was  no  substantial  set- 
tlements nearer  then  on  the  East  than  those 
of  Illinois,  and  none  on  the  West,  except  the 
scattered  villages  of  the  Territory  of  Oregon. 
From  the  Missouri  Biver  to  that  portion  of 
Mexico  which  we  now  call  California,  was 
an  nntraveled  and  little  known  expanse  of 


territory.    In  the  midst  of  this  vast,  tm- 
We  have  nothing  to  4o,  here,     ttaokadmace  BusB<U(«'S'ec»a  tet  .up  his 


camp  and  tabernacle.  No  man  conid  have 
possibly  foreseen  the  .change  which  a  few 
yerrs  would  make  in  the  relations  of -tte 
coasts  of  the  Atlantic  and  the  Pacific. 

We  cannot  now  say  whether  .^«cmonism 
would  have  flourished  longer  Cr  more  vig- 
orously if  &s  discovery  of  gold  in  Califor- 
nia hadjTOt.tnmed  a  stream  of  "  gen- 
tile "yHsmajwu  across  the  great  Plains. 
Leaping  men.  among  tho  Mormons  have 
that  the  California  emigration  was 
ely  designed  to  sustain  the  infant 
at  Great  Salt  Lake.  If  it  had  not 
|.or  the  money  paid  to  the  struggling 
colonists  by  the  gold-seekers  they  might 
have  been  discouraged  at  the  end 
of  their  second  year.  With  the  gold 
of  the  emigrants  they  were  able  to 
send  to  the  Missouri  for  necessaries  of  life 
which  they  could  not  produce  ojj  their 
farms.  If  they  had  been  left  to  themselves, 
with  no  motive  to  lead  strangers  thither 
over  the  weary  road,  the  colony  might  have 
perished  of  inanition.  Young  vainglo- 
riously  declared  that  the  colonists  subsisted 
qn  "the  spoils  of  the  Egyptians."  And  the 
Californians,  being  "the  Egyptians,"  de- 
clared, that  the  Mormons  were  not  always 
particular  whether  they  took  the  "spoils" 
in  hard  bargains  or  by  forcible  levy.  In 
like  manner,  at  another  critical  point 
in  Mormon  history,  an  army  of 
invasion  and  subjugation  camped  before  the 
(Stg^f  the  Saints,  and  was  fed  by  rations, 
sold  by  the  thrifty  citizens.  Young  had  a 
right  to 'sneer,  as  he  did,  at  a  war  which 
only  gave  his  people  customers  for  their 
produce  at  a  time  when  they  needed  trade 
and  custom  vgjy  much.  But  this  isolation 
could  not  last  long,  and  the^tore  of  Mor- 
monism is  more  dark  because  Utah 
is  now  thoroughly  pervaded  with  the 
"gentile"  element.  It  required  all  of 
Young's  prodigious  powers  to  defend  the 
citadel  up  to  the  end  ,,of  his  life.  There  is 
uo  worthy  successor  to  the  autocrat,  seer, 
and  leader  who  has  fallen.  The  policy  of 
Young  was  naturally  calculated  to  suppress 
any  budding  genius  that  might  develop  into 
rivalry  or  defiance  of  himself.  He  tole- 
rated'no  ri^l  near  the  throne,  and  he  could 
not,  in  the  nature'  of  things,  train  any  man 
to  succeed  him.  It  is  possible  that  there 
areTnen  of  eminent  ability  among  the  Mor- 
mon leaders.  But  there  is  no  other  Brigham 
Young.  The  loss  of  this  man,  however  his  fol- 
lowers may  disguise  it,  fills  them  with  panic. 

The  floss  of  the  great  leader  is  calami- 
tous far  the  Mormons,  but  the  WTk  of  dis- 
intefration  had  already  begun.  It  was  not 
in  the  nature  of  things  possible  that  an 
alien  population,  with  institutions,  habits, 
and  manners  widely  differing  with  those  of 
the  Moi-mons,  should  come  in  and  settle 
down  with  the  saints  withotit  creating  dis- 
turbance,. Polygamy  is  becoming  impop- 
ular,  because  men  cannot  live  as  non-Mor- 
mons live  if  they  burden  themselves  with 
enormous  families.  Nor  is  it  in  human 
nature  to  stand  forever  the  raillery  and 
criticism  which  non-Mormon  neighbors  be- 
stow on  the  polyganiists.  The  old  com- 
mvmity  of  interest,  the  communistic  prac- 
tice of  the  Mormons,  grows  more  burden- 
some each  year,  and  the  grinding  exactions 
of  the  tithing  men  must  needs  chafe  men 
who  pay  the  same  taxes  to  the  Government 
which  the  "gentile"  pays  and  church 
tithes  in  addition.  Discontents  have 
crept  in  from  time  to  time,  schisms 
have  troubled  _fhe  ^ir'^uich,  and  mal- 
contents have  distuf'oed  the-  peace  of.  the 
new  Zion.  These  Young  has  suppressed 
with  a  relentlessTfSHfr  As  is-  the;  case  of 
the  schismatic  Morrisites,  extermisation  by 
the  knife  was  the  heroic  remedy  for  those 
who  disputed  fne  authority  of  the  Prophet. 
The  iron  hand  has  relaxed'  its  grasp  at  last. 
There  are  feuds  ready  to  break  out  whfen 
the  question  of  the  succession  arises.^^id, 
whatever  else  maybe  said  of  the  future  of 
Mormonism,  it  is  certain  that  no  man  can 
defend  it  as  Brigham  Young  defended  it. 


ANOTHER  SATELLITE. 

Another  satellite  of  Mars  has  just  been 
^discovered.  This  is  the  third  that  has  been 
reported  within  a  fortnight,  and  there 
are  stiU  at  least  a  htmdred  public  and 
private  observations  to  be  heard  from. 
When  the  returns  are  aU  in,  it  will  probably 
bcifound  that  Mars,  which  for  centuries  was  j 
supposed  to  be  without  a  moon,  has  now 
more^oons  than  have  all  the  other  planets  ' 
combined^       "  ' 

There  is  something' very  strange  about  ' 
these  MartiaKeateUites.      Why   were  they  | 
not^scover^d  long  ago  ?      It  was   not   be-  ! 
cause  of  meir  small  size,  for  at  least  two  of 
them  are  xUeged  to  be  bright  enough  to  be  | 
seen  by  theh^ked'eye,  when-  reflected  in  a 
mirror.     It  was  not    for    want    of  careful  | 
searching,  for  Mars   has  been  constantly  j 
scrutinized   with  the    largest    telescopes,  I 
and  astronomers  have  vied  with  one  another 
in  ascertaining  and  reporting  everything  in 
regard  to  his  public  and  private  career  that 
twas  held  fit  for  publication.    Even  the  third 
satellite,  whieh  is  apparently  smaller  than 
the  other  two,  did  not  escape    discovery 
merely  beeatise  of  its  diminutive  size,  for  it 
was  first  seen  through  a  comparatively  small 
telescope,  and  by  an  astronomer  who  has 
not  had  much  experience  with  long-range 
instruments.     Evgji-3''aeteetive  policeman 
could  not  fail  to  perceive  that  it  is  very  odd 
that  these  satellites  should  have  remained 
•  undiscovered  from  the  time  of  Galileo  up  to 
themonthof  August,  1877.     Hereisamys- 
tery  that  needs  to  be  solved,  and  that  with- 
out any  unnecessary  delay. 

There  are  only  two  hypotheses  which  will 
explain  this  sudden  discovery  of  Martial 
moons.  The  first  hypothesis  is  that  astron- 
omers have,  for  at  least  a  century,  known 
all  about  the  three  satellites,  but  have  kept 
that  knowledge  from  the  public.  They 
have  felt  it  necessary  for  the  sake  of  their 
reputations  to  publish  nearly  all  their  dis- 
coveries. This  has,  of  course,  made  the 
public  look  upon  them  with  immense  re- 
spect, as°  men  who  knew  just  how  large 


THE  FATAL  WEAKNESS  OF  THE  EFS- 
SIANS.  ^ 

The  Eussians  would  seem  to  have  profited 
little  by  the  disastrous  experience  of  former 
inVasious,lJJj^ging  by  the  present  state  of 
affairs  in  Bilgaria.  Bad  food,  bad  ventila-. 
tion,  def active  transport,  general  sickness, 
devastating  mortality,  all  the  horrors  which, 
marked  the  campaigns  of  half  a  century  ago, 
are  recurring,  with  ghastly  sameness,  in 
every  part  of  the  theatre  of  war. 
hear  much  of  Jthe  labor  spent  upon 
the  Russian  field  hospitals,  their 
vast  accumulation  of  all  the  newest 
medical  appliances,  &c.;  but  all  this  seems_ 
to  have  little  or  no  ellect  in  arresting  the 
prevalent  mortality,  which,  according  to 
more  than  one  competent  authority,  Ui'S' 
been  so  gi'cat  that  even  the  vast  reinforce- 
ments constantly  poured  into  Bulgaria 
barely  suffice  to  counterbalance  it.  This  is 
an  ominous  state  Of  things  for  the  first 
campaign  of  a  war  whieh  gives  no  promise 
of  a  speedy  ending,  aud  it  is  doubly  inex- 
cusable in  the  face  of.  the  bitter  warnings 
conveyed  by  former  campaigns.  In  1 820, 
when  the  Czar  Nicholas  led  his  troops  in 
person  on  their  forward  march  through 
Wallachia,  fully  one-half  of  the  advance 
guard  perished  by  disease  without  seeiffig 
the  face  of  an  enemy.  In  the  wonder- 
ful campaign  of  1829  the  number  of  mfen 
received  into  the  Russian  hospitals  reached 
the  fearful  total  of  134,000,  while  of  th£ 
68,000  who  followed  Count  Diebitsch  m 
his  famous  march  across  the  Balkan  to 
Adrianople,  barely  15,000  remained  fit  for 
duty  when  the  goal  was  reached.  In  1853, 
during  the  brief  but  murderous  campaign 
whieh  ended  with  the  abortive  siege  of 
Silistria,  the .  Eussians  lost  upwajd  of 
50,000  men,  fully  two-thirds  of  whom  were 
struck  down  by  disease  and  want  of  food. 
Should  the  course  of  the  prese'nt  struggle 
take  a  similar  turn,  Russia's  triumphs  will 
be  dearly  purchased. 

It  is  a  common  theory  that  the  Russian 
soldiers  innate  endurance  is  equal  to  any 
demands  that  can  be  made  upon  it ;  but 
this,  like  most  fiOfi^ar  beliefs,  is  true  only 
to  a  certain  extent"  Undoubtedly,  the  dis- 
ciple of  a  creed  whieh  enjoins  230  fasts 
yearly  must  be  well  used  to  short  rations  ; 
and  the  man  who,  for  four  months  out  of 
twelve,  shares  the  charcoal-heated  atmos- 
phere of  a  twenty-foot  hut  with  half  a 
dozen  human  beings  and  twice  as  many 
anim.ilR  will  hardly  be  nice  on  the  score  of 
ventilation.  But,  however  unfelt  at  the 
time,  such  privations  tcill  tell  sooner  or 
later.  Those  who  have  followed  the  march 
of  a  "  flying  column "  through  the 
wastes    of    Central  ^sia,     cannot    have 


of^-'€Dgsack  detachm^^  encamping 
with  seeming  impunity  afifid  the  swamps  of 
the  Syr-Daria  ot  the  0*us  ;  but  the  crowded 
burial-grounds  of  Tra'^aimaV  and  Tart  Perov- 
eki  show  that  nature's  vengeance  for  her 
violated  laws,  though  tardy,  is  very  com- 
plete. The^esults  of  the  ordinary  Bussian's 
mode  of  life  are  sufficiently  shown  in  the 
fact  that  the  average  duration  of  human  life 
in  Russia  is  from  15  to  22  years,  against  a 
eoiTesponding-;rafio' in  Western  Europe  of 
£rom  36  to  40 !  Ignorance  of  the  common- 
est laws  of  health,  and  fatalism  fully  eqnal- 
ing'that  of  their  Moslem  enemies,  are  the 
two  most  dangerous  foes  of  the  Russian  sol- 
diery ;  and  the  General  who  can  counteract 
their  influence  will  have  achieved  a  harder 
task  than  the  passage  of  the  Balkan. 


a  pint  of  beer  is  on  the  pjanet  Jupiter,  and 
prec  isely  how  much  a  pound  of  sugar  weighs 
on  the .  surface  of  the  moon,  but  at  the 
same  time  the  astronomers  were  humiliated 
becausa(»throtigh  their  means,  the  world 
knew  as  much  about  the  heavenly  bodies  as 
they  did  themselves.  Now,  it  is  quite  con- 
ceivable that  they  may  have  desired  to 
reserve  a  little  private  astronomical  knowl- 
edge for  tfieir  own  exclusive  delectatipn,  and 
that  they  selected  the  fact  of  the  eastenee 
of  the  Martial  satellites  as  a  secret  to 
be  imparted  only  to  new  astronomers 
under  the  solemn  sanction  of  an  oath. 
Thus  they  w^re  able  to  bind  themselves 
closely  together  by  sharing  a  common 
secret,  and  when  they  met_together  for 
esoteric  astronomical,  orgies  they  could  en- 
joy the  pleasure  of  discussing  the  phases  of 
moons  of  which  the  rest  of  mankind  knew 
nothing.  If  this  is  thought  insufficient  to 
account  for  the  careful  concealment  of 
Mars'  satellites  from  the  public,  perhaps 
the  fact  that  one  of  them  revolves  from 
east  to  west  instead  of  from  west  to  east, 
like  all  reputable  planetary  bodies,  will  ex- 
plain the  matter.  There  is  no  question  that 
a  moon  whieh  regularly  rises  in  the  west 
and  sets  in  the  east,  in  defiance  of  planet- 
ary custom,  is  guilty  of  grossly  indecent 
c()nduct,  and  the  astronomers  mSyTiave 
thought  it  best,  in  the  interests  of  morality, 
to  avoid  all  mention  of  the  fact  If  we  con- 
cede that  for  reasons  such  as  these  the  as- 
tronomere  kept  the  existence  of  Mars'  satel- 
lites a  secret  until  the  constantly  increas- 
ing number  of'  amateur  telescope- owners 
Wb"  'feade  it  impossible  that  secrecy  could  much 
longer  be  maintained,  we  haVe  an  explana- 
tion which  fully  meets  the  ease. 

The  second  hypothesis,  taat  the  moons  of 
Mars  are  entirely  new,  ano  have  come  into 
.existence  very  recently,  is,  however,  decid- 
edly more  plausible  than  the  first.  It  is 
true  that,  according  to  the  nebular  hy- 
pothesis. Mars  has  long  since  passed  the 
period  of  moon-bearing,  but  it  cannot  es- 
cape notice  that  the  existence  of  a  satellite, 
which  revolves  about  its  controlling  planet 
in  a  direction  eontrai2_,to  that  in  which 
the  latter  turns  on^ts  axis,  is  directly  at 
variance  with  the  nebular  hypotheSs  ;  for 
had  the  satellite  in  question  been  thrown 
off  by  Mars,  its  motion  around  the  planet 
would  have  been  in  the  direction  of  the 
latter's  axial  revolution.  Hence,  the  third 
oTthe  Martial  satellites  was  not  bom  of 
the  planet  at  any  period  in  the  latter's  ex- 
istence, but  is  an  adopted  moon  of  uncer- 
tain origin.  It  may  be  one  of  those  disrep- 
utable celestial  tramps,  the  comets,  and 
while  passing  in  the  neighborhood  of  Mars, 
it  may  have  calmly  "  squatted"  within  the 
planet's  sphere  of  attraction  with  the  in- 
tention of  usarping  the  easy  and  purely 
ornamental  furiLliuus  of  a  moon.  Or  it  is 
possible  that  this  unoon  is  an  offshoot  from 
a  passing  horde  oHmeteors,  which  has  been 
left,.*a-to  speak,  at  the  door-step  of  Mars 
for  the  mischievous  purpose  of  bringing 
scandal  upon  an  aged  and  respectable 
planet.  'Wliatever  is  true  of  this  particular 
satellitejs  doubtless  true  of  its  companions, 
although  they  have  sufficient  decency  to 
revolve  in  the  right  direction.  These  sat- 
ellites are,  then,  in  the  true  sense  of  tha 
word,  new  moons,  and  hence  we  can 
fully  comprehend  why  they  were  never 
seen  prior  to  the  present  month. 

In  whafever  way  we  seek  to  explain  the 
affair,  there  is  no  denying  that  it  is  a  pain- 
ful one.  Either  we  must  charge  the  astrono- 
mers with  willfully  repressing  astronomical 
facts  or  we  must  assume  that  Mars  has  re- 
cently obtained  its  moons  in  some  surrep- 
titious way,  and  that  4he  nebular  hypothesis 
is  fals6,  so  far  as  it  asserts  that  all  satellites 
have  been  thrown  off  from  their  respective 
planets.  It  is  certainly  painful  to  suspect 
the  Tastrohomers  of  disingenuons  conduct. 


with  trying  to  pafan  off  adopted  moona  as 
his  own  legitimate  satellites,  and  with  strik- 
ing a  wanton  blow  at  the  nebular  hypothe- 
sis Still,  there  seems  to  be  no  escape  frtm 
one  of  these  two  conclusions,  and,  as  there  is 
no  longer  any  possibility  of  keepingthe  affair 
out  of  the  newspapers,  it  is  best  that  it 
should  have  a  fuB  investigation  and  that  the 
precise  facts  in  the  case  should  be  definitely 
ascertained.

RAPHAEL  SE!A'<ES. 
A  dispatch  from  Mobile,  Ala.,  states  that  Atf- 
minl  Baphsel  Semioes,  of  the  rebel  Navy,  died  lA 
7:10  yesterday  morning.  Rapliael  Senunes  was  a  na- 
tive of  Maryhmd,  and  was  bom  in  Cbarle*  Counly  of 
that  Sute  Sept.  27,  1S09.  At  the  »g»  of  17  he  en- 
tered the  tJziited  States  Navy  as  a  Midsldpniaii.  be- 
came  a  Lieaten&ni  m  1S37,  and  Commander  in  1855. 
He  seems  at  one  time  to  have  contemplated  following 
the  legal  profession,  which  undoubtedly  offered  a  bet- 
ter prospect  for  an  ambitious  younz  man  than  the 
Navy  in  the  lon^  years  of  p,»ce  between  the  war  of 
1812  and  that  with  Mexico ;  and  we  find  the  young 
Midshipman,  while  on  waiting  ordets.  studying 
for  the  Bar,  to  which  he  was  admitted  at  Cum- 
berland, Md.,  in  1S34.  The  Mexican  war  gave 
him  an  opportunity  to  disttng^sh  jtimself  in 
his  more  congenial  profession  as  a  Naval  officer,  aud 
daring  that  short  strife  he  served  both  on  board  sMo 
aud  as  an  aid  to  Gen.  'Worth.  When  the  frebellion 
brolce  out  he  occupied  the  post  of  Secretarvto  the 
United  States  Light-house  Board.  and--rS«^ed  in 
Washington.  His  sympathies  were  entirely  with  the 
South,  but  he  hesitated  abou;  offering  his  services  to 
the  Confederate  Govemm^t  "  until  his  State  had 
moved,'' contenting  himsdf  with  communicating  to 
an  Alabama  Congressman  his  views  "of  the  situation 
of  the  Confederates,  as  regards  their  marine.  f»r  de- 
fense and  zneans  of  inflicting  damage  on  their  i 
ponents."  This  communication  seems  to  hare  " 
had  the  effect  of  attracting  the  atteution  of 
the  then  chiefs  of  the  Confederacy  to  him; 
for,  on  the  14th  of  Febru.iry,  ISGl,  he 
raceived  a  telegraphic  disoatch  f  r':>m  the  Churmaa 
of  the  Naval  Committee  at  Montgomery,  Ala.,  in- 
viting his  presence  there.  He  immediately  sent  ia 
his  resignation  from  the  Kavy.  telegraphejl  to 
Montgomery  that  he  was  a  "  free  man  to  serve  his 
fttmggling  country."  and,  leaving  his  family  in  Wash- 
ington, started  for  that  city.  His  first  commission 
from  the  SoutL  was  as  a  Purchasing  Agent.  The 
Secretary  of  the  Confederate  Navy  had  learned  that 
there  were  for  sale  "  at  or  near  Xew-Tork.  two  or 
more  steamers. "  which  might  be  used  for.'War  pur- 
poses, and  Senunes  was  sent  North  to  purchase 
tnem.  also^to  purchase  arms  and  munitions  of  -war, 
and  maihe  contracts  for  mac-binery  and  the  mana* 
factnre  of  war  material.  While  encaged  in  this.dut.v. 
he  was  in  April  recalled  to  New-Orleans,  and 
placed  in  command  of  the  C-'Ufederate 
wax  steamer  .  Sumter.  As  tbe  Commander  of 
this  vessel  he  first  attained  celebrity.  -Tbe 
Sumter  was  originally  a  merchant  steamer  named 
the  Marques  de  la  Habana,  aud  had  been  porcii&sed  - 
by  the  Confederate  Govt-mment  and  hastily  fitted 
up  for  war  purposes-  She  mounted  five  guns,  and 
had  a  crew  of  tio  men  and  20  marines.  Her  escape 
from  the  blockaded  port  of  New-Orleans  to  the  open 
sea  was  made  on  Sunday,  the  7th  of  July,  Igtil, 
and  the  event  seems  to  have  been  considered  at  tho 
time  one  full  of  danger  to  the  codimerce  of  the  coun- 
try. Hitherto  only  one  privateer  lj»d  got  out  from 
atiy  Southern  port — ^the  Savannah.,  an  insignificant 
scliooner,  which  was  captured  after  taking  one  prize. 
The  Sumter  was  a  more  formidable  craft,  and  the  ac- 
count of  her  escape,  wrttten  by  some  one  on  board 
the  United  States  steamer  Brooklyn,  which  should 
have  intercepted  her,  commented  severely  on  tha 
conduct  bf  the  Captain  of  that  vessel  Tbe  Bn>ok 
Ivn  was  chasing  off  another  vessel  at  the  time  tb* 
Sumter  made  her  'esciipe.  and.  though  chase  wa» 
speedily  given,  tbe  Captain  of  the  Brooldyn  did  no» 
think  himself  justified  in  leaving  the  mouth  of  the 
Mississippi  so  far  as  to  practicnlly  raise  the  blovkade, 
and  the  bumter  therefore  got  awiy.  The  cniiisipa- 
tions  of  the  damage  she  would  probably  infiict  on 
the  commercial '  marine  were  fully  realized.  She 
started  for  Cuba,  aud  on  the  way  there  picked  up 
several  brigs,  which  she  took  into  Cienfucgos  us 
prizes-  The  Spanish  authorities  could  not.  of  course, 
jjermit  their  ports  to  be  made  harbors  of  refuge  in 
this  way,  and  the  nnzes  were  all  taken  by  them, from 
Semmes  and  tumev  over  to  the  United  States  Gov- 
ernment. After  this  Semmes  made  -no  more  attempts 
to  earrv  his  prizes  into  foreign  ports.  He  was  next 
heard  of  at  Venezuela,  having  on  his  way  there  from 
Cuba  captured  the  Abby  Bradford,  which,  with  a  prize 
crew  aboard,  he  sent  to  New-Orleans  with,  his  first 
official  dispatch.  Leaving  Venezuela,  he  croised 
abont  the  Atlantic,  captured  a  number  of  other  valu- 
able merchant  vessels,  which  he  burned,  aud  early  iii 
February,  lh62.  reached  Cadiz,  in  Spain,  where  ha 
landed  his  prisoners.  From  this  port  the  Samtez», 
as  such,  never  went  out.  for  the  United  States  -wai^ 
ship  Tusc&TOra  came  after  her.  and,  1^'ing  off  Gibral- 
tar, kept  so  close  a  watch  for  her  enemy  that  Semmea 
finally  gave "  up  all  hope  of  escape.  He  waited 
theretwo  months,  trusting  that  some  chance  would 
offer  to  get  away,  and  then  dismissed  the  crew,  sold 
the  vessel  and  made  his  wavback  to  the  Confederate 
States.  The  career  of  tliis  vessel  was  regarded 
by  the  Confederate  Government  as  a  brilliant  suc- 
cess, and  ever\-  effort  was  made  to  fit  out  ships  of 
the  same  character  and  for  the  same  purposes.  Tho  , 
Florida,  built  at  Birkenhead,  and  starting  on  her 
destructive  career  from  Mobile,  was  the  immediate 
successor  of  the  Sumter:  but  the  vessel  which  almost 
alooe  did  the  work  of  driving  American  ve"*sels  from 
the  ocean  was  the  famous  Alabsma.  All  the  circum- 
stsnces  cotiaected  with  this  vessel  have  become  mat- 
ters of  world-wide  notoriety,  but.  as  the  chief  feature 
Inthecareenfthe  subject  of  this  sketrh.  they  cannot 
be  omitted  here.  The  Alabama  was  built  ly  the  well- 
known  sb'ip-builder  Laird,  of  Birkenhead — a  mem- 
ber of  Parliament.  While  on  the  stocks  In  his 
vard,  she  was  simply  known  as  the  "290." 
but  her  destination  was  notorious.  The  American 
Minister  (Mr.  Adams)  protested  airainst  her  going  to 
sea  :  the  British  Government  said  inquiry  should  bo 
made ;  Mr.  Adams  gathered  more  ei*idence  of  tho 
destination  of  the  vesse',.  evidence  such  as  the  Gov- 
ernment could  not  i»ore  ;  but  the  legal  machinerv 
necessary  to  cause  Medetention  of  the  vessel  moveS 
with  such  conve^nt  slowness,  that  the  "290" 
went  off  to  sea  on^he  29th  of  July,  just  as  the  Cus- 
toms officer  was  coming  down  to  stop  her.  She  wa5 
in  a  ver>'  incomplete  state,  but  recc-ived  her  finishing 
touches,  gtms  and  armament,  at  Porto  Praya,  in 
the  Portugese  Island  of  Terceira ;  and  on  the 
24th  of  August.  1S62,  she  started  from 
that  port  ftilly  equipped  for  her  work.  Her 
career'  lasted  "two  years,  lacking  nine  weeks, 
she  being  sent  to  the  bottom  on  Sunday.  June  19, 
1864.  In  that  time  the  Alabama  captured  (i5  ves. 
sels.  burning  ail  except  the  few  required  to  save  tbe 
lives  of  the  prisoners.  The  property  captured  and 
destroyed  by  her  was  valued  at  nearly  $10,000.- 
000.  'and  before  the  Kearsarge  cut  short  her 
career  there  was  scarcely  a  meit:hant  vessel  on  the 
ocean  flv-ing  the  American  flag.  She  was  emphat- 
ically s  rover  of  the  seas,  never  staying  lung  in  one 
port,  or  in  one  part  of  the  globe. '  Her  moreraeats 
were  perfectlv  mysteriotis.  and  so  unexpected  were 
her  appearances  and  disappearances,  that  until  she  ran 
across  the  Kearsarge  in  tbe  English  Channel  she  was 
supposed  to  be  in  the  Indian  Ocean.  Chased  almost 
to  all  pwls  of  the  globe,  she  everywhere  eluded  her 
pursuers,  and  only  came  to  her  end  at  hist  by  the  de- 
sire of  her  Captain  to  light  a  vessel  which  was  a  fair 
match  for  his  own.  It  would  seem  that  Semmes  had 
had  a  surfeit  of  capturing  aud  destroying  vessels 
which  could  make  no  resistance.  He  washed  to  sig- 
nalize himself  by  some  more  daring  exploit,  and 
hence  his  challenge  to  the  Kearsaige.  He  was  refit- 
tine  his  vessel  in  Cherbouig  Harbor,  which  he  en- 
tered on  tbe  11th  of  June.  1J*&1,  when  the  Kear- 
sarge, Capt.  Winslow,  which  was  looking  for  &jme 
other  vessels,  appeared  off  the  faarl>or.  Cant. 
Semmes  sent  won!  that  if  she  would  lie  off  for 
n  day  or  two  he  would  come  out  beyond  neu- 
tral waters  and  fight  her.  Capt.  Winslow,  nothing 
loth  for  the  fra.v.  did  as  requested,  and  on  the  19th 
the  Alabama  came  out,  escorted  by  the  French  iron- 
clad Couronne.  On  reaching  the  limit  of  neutnd 
jurisdiction  the  French  vessel  turned  back,  lea^-ing 
the  two  duelists  to  themselves.  The  Kearsarge 
edged  off  slowly  as  the  Alabama  advanced,  so  as  to 
Ket  further  from  neutral  waters  and  make  sure  that 
the  fight  should  be  fotight  to  the  end.  At  tho 
distance  of  seven  miles  from  land,  the  Kearsarga 
turned  aud  stood  straight  for  her  enemy.  The  Ala- 
bama fired  three  broadsides  as  the  Kearsarge  came 
at  her  ;  but  the  shot  only  cut  the  rigging  a  little-  At 
900  yards  the  Kearsarge  swimg  round  and  delivered 
a  broadside  '  right  into  the  Alabama.  Tha 
rest  of  tho  fight  was  a  chase  in  a  circle, 
the  Kearaarge  following  the  Alabarajt  all  through. 
When  the  dicuit  had  been  seven  times  completed 
the  latter  surrendered.  She  had  suffered  learr'ully, 
and  was  sinking  so  rapidly  that  many  of  the  crew, 
with  Semmes,  took  to  the  water  to  save  theuisetves. 
The  boats  of  the  Kearsarge  picked  up  a  number,  but 
Semmes  himself  was  picked  up  by  the  English  yacht 
Deerhoond  and  carried  off.  Thtis  ended  the  career 
of  the  Alabama,  and  with  her  the  career  of  her  com^ 
mander^s  a  naval  officer.  He  made  his  way  back  to 
the  Confederate  States,  and  there  waa  some  talk  of 
Ills  taking  command  of  a  Confederate  iron- 
dad  cruuer,  but  the  Eiigliah  Govern- 
ment intimated  to  Mr.  JLaird  that  one 
Alabama  was  enough,  and  tbe  iron-clad  passed 
into  posesaion  of  his  Government  bv  pnrc'uase. 
After  tbereturn  of  Semmes  to  the  Confederate  States 
he  received  lEe  nominal  rank  of  Brigadier -<3«neial  in  ,-' 
thp  army  and  as  such  was  included  lu  the  surrender  ; 
of  Johnson's  Army.  The  war  beiuitoverhc  retired' 
to  Mobile  and  commenced  the  practice  of  law.  He 
was  arrested  in  18G5  and  taken  to  Washington,  but 
after  a  few  months  was  released.  He  has  delivered 
several  lectures  on  his  exploits,  aixd  has  written  some 
books,  both  before  and  after  his  cat  eer  as  a  Confed^

Chester,  Peim.,  Aug.  30. — The  ne*  steam- 
•liip  City  of  ■Washington,  bnilt  for  the  Havanft 
Line  of~Messrs.  P.  Alexandre  &  Sons,  iras 
launched  shortly  after  5  o'clock  this  afternoon 
from  the  yard  of  John  Roche  &  Son.  The 
launch  was  witnessed  by  about  2.500  people. 
Most  of  these  spectators  were  attracted  to  the  ship- 
yard by  the  fact  that  the  party  of  Governors 
now  being  entertained  by  the  associations  inter- 
ested in  the  Permanent  Industrial  Exhibition 
on.the  Centennial  Grounds  in  Philadelphia,  were 
among  the  gnests  invited  to  witness 
the  ceremony.  The  special  train  bear- 
ing the  Governors,  with  the  members  of 
their  staffs  and  their  escorts,  consisting 
of  a  large  number  of  the  members  of  the  Ex- 
hibition Company  and  the  Exhibitors'  As- 
sociation, reached  the  ship-yard  at  about 
4:30  o'clock.  The  party  comprised  Govs. 
Hartranf  t,  of  Pennsylvania  ;  Anthony,  of  Kan- 
sas ;  Garber.  of  Nebraska ;  Young,  of  Ohio  ; 
Porter,  of  Tennessee ;  Newbold,  of  Iowa ;  Ax- 
tell,  of  New-3Iexico;  Lieut. -Gov.  Rothert,  of 
Iowa ;  Secretary  of  State  Clark,  of  Colorado  ; 
Adjt.-Gen.  Latta,  of  Pennsylvania  ;  CoL  Leon 
Trousdale,  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion of  Tennessee :  Mr.  Ward  Burlin- 
game.  Secretary  to  Gov.  Anthony,  of 
Kansas ;  3Ir.  C.  S.  ^'ilson,  private 
secretary  to  Gov.  Xewbold,  and  Mr. 
Meiggs,  private  secretary  to  Gov.  Axtell.  The 
escort  of  the  Governors  was  very  large,  and 
waslieadedby  Mr.  James  S.  Morton,  President 
of  the  Permanent  Eshibition  Association. andJIr. 
Peter  B.  Simmons,  President  of-the  Exhibitors' 
Association.  The  distinguished  visitors  were 
welcomed  at  the  gateway  of  the  ship-yard  by 
Mri  John  Roach,  the  builder  of  the  vessel  about 
to  be  launched,  and  Mr.  F.  Alexander,  head  of 
the  firm  for  which  she  was  constructed. 
These  gentletneu  guided  the  party  through  the 
yard,  between  two  lines  formed  "by  the  1,600 
workmen  employed  there,  to  the  steam-ship 
City  of  Macon,  now  beingflnished  for  trafQc  be- 
tween New-York  and  Savannah.  As 
the  head  of  the  procession  appeared 
on  the  docK  a  party  of  -students 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Militarv  Institute  began 
firing  a  salute  to  the  Governors  with:  a  small 
piece  whose  sound  was  a  compromise  between 
that  of  a  fire-cracker  and  a  shot-gun.  The  City 
of  Macon  having  been  inspected,  the  greater 
part  of  the  members  of  the  official  party 
decided  to  remain  on  her  to  witness 
the  launch.  The  only  one  of  the 
Governors  who  went  on  board  the  new  steamer 
to  be  launched  with  her  was  Gov.  HartTanft,.of 
Pennsylvania.  The  Western  officials,  being  un- 
nsued  to  sueh  a  matter,  were  loth  to  take 
active  part  in  it.  When  the  Governors  and 
their  escort  had  been  given  good  positions 
to  view  the  launch,  the  ordinary  inliabitants  of 
Chester  were  »lmitted  to  the  'yard,  and  soon 
covered  the  decks  of  the  City  of  Macon, 
the  old  monitor  Roanoke,  and  the  iroa- 
clad  Puritan,  in  course  of  construction, 
and  the  docks  at  either  side  of  the 
new  steam-ship.  About  5:15  the  City  of  Wash- 
ington began  to  slip,  and,  increasing  her  speed 
every  aerond.  she  moved  gracefully  into  the 
■water.  Her  keel  struck  fairly,  she  stood  up 
BtifBy,  canting  neither  to  starboard  nor 
port.  aud  made  scarcely  a  ripple 
on  the  surface  of  the  Delaware.  '  As  she  moved 
out  into  the  river  the  young  military  students 
■again  discharged  their  miniature  cannon,  and 
^>lhe  crowds  cheered  lustily.  The  launch  is  said 
/     to  have  been  the  jnost  successful  that   ever 

^ occurred  at  Chester,  and  the  fact  is  the  more 

satisfactory  on  account  of  the  distinction  of  the 
visitors  from  the  West,  who  hadnever  enjoyed  a 
like  sight  before. 

The  dimensions  of  the  Citv  of  Washington 
are:  Length.  321  feet;  breadth  of  beam,  38 
feet :  depth,  from  spar  deck.  35  feet,  and  from 
htnricane  deck  2S  feet.  Her  hull  is  of  iron, 
the  platios.  being_j3xgted  throughout  in 
boiler  fashion.  The  plates  vary  from 
flve-«ighih3  of  an  inch  to  an  inch  and  a 
quarter  in  thickness.  Her  deck-houses  near 
the  machinerv  and  the  galley  are  to  be  of  iron, 
while  the  others  will  be  constructed  of  wood. 
The  spar  deck  is  of  iron,  covered  with  wood  for 
the  entire  length  and  breadth  of  the  vessel.  The 
lower  deck  abreast  of  the  space  occupied  by  the 
machinerv  i.**  also  of  iron.  The  engines  of  the 
Ctty  of  "Washington  have  Ijeen  made  at  the 
Horgan  Iron  Works  of  this  city.  Tney  are  of 
the  compound  pattern,  the  high  pressure 
cylinder  having  a  diameter  of  40  inches, 
and  the  low  pressure  one  of  74  Inches. 
The  stroke  of  the  piston  is  six  feet.  The 
boilers,  two  in  number,  have  each  a  diameter  of 

17  feet,  and  a  height  of  20  feet.  The  steam 
pressure  will  be  SO  pounds  to  the  square  inch. 
The  ppoDeller  has  a  diameter  of  lu  feet,  with 
a  pitch  of  24  feet  Th6  City  of  Washington 
is  expected  to  average  15^2  knots  per  hour, 
and  when  her  engine  is  driven  so  that  the  shaft 
makes  75  revolutions  per  minute,  it  is  thought 
she    will  be   able   to    make    between    17  and 

18  knots.  She  will  thus  rival  in  speed  the  fast- 
est European  steamers.  She  is  at  first  to  have 
accommodations  for  only  80  cabin  pas- 
sengers, the  number  of  the  state-rooms 
to  be  erected  at  the  present  time  being 
40.  Space  will  be  kept,  however,  so 
that  in  the  future  she  can  be  mnde  to  accomo- 
date 200  first-class  passengers.  The  state- 
rooms are  to  be  fitted  up  finely,  but  all  the  re- 
sources of  artistic  joiners  are  to  be  expended  upon 
the  saloon,  wherein  20  different  kinds  of  wood 
are  to  be  used — from  black  walnut  to  amaranth. 
The  latter  wood-is  somewhat  like  red  cedar,  but 
has  a  finer  grain,  a  more  beautiful  color,  and 
Is  susceptible  of  a  more  perfect  poli-sh.  As  it  is 
a  very  costly  wood,  and  when  used  profusely 
is  fatiguing  to  the  eye,  it  will  only  be 
used  as  tracery  and  reliefs  for  the  other  woods. 
The  intention  is  to  make  the  passenger  saloon 
of  the  City  of  Washington  more  sumptuotis  than 
that  of  any  other  vessel  afloat.  It  is  said 
she  is  the  strongest  merchant  steazn-ship  ever 
built  in  this  country  ;  her  lines  are  fine,  as  is  in- 
dicated by  the  graceful  way  she  took  the  water 
when  launched  ;  her  draft  at  present  is  1 1  feet 
9  inches  aft,  7  feet  4  inches  forward,  her 
mean  draft  being  9  feet  Oi^  inches.  {Her^^^el 
was  laid  Feb.  7,  1877,  and  the  coirtract  calls 
for  her  completion  in  the  first  week  of  October, 
when  it  is  expected  she  will  Immediately  begin 
to  run  between  New- York  and  Havana,

^^pecMIXipatclKtotlie  Nea-Tiori  Timet. 

SoDTH  NoRWALK,  Aug.  30.— This  has 
been  a  great  day  for  NorWalk  and.  "all  the 
country  round  about,"  The  Governor  has  been' 
here  to  review  the  troops,  and  whenever  the 
Grovemor  comes  on  such  a  mission  the  peo- 
ple feel  that  it  is  a'  duty,  a»  well 
as  a  pleasure,  to  turn  out  in  full  force; 
At  an  early  hour  there  came  rolling  and  rat- 
tling through  the  quiet  streets  of  Norwalk  all 
sorts  of  ancient  looking  vehicles  laden  with  the 
good  folk  of  New-Canaan,  Kent,  Wilton,  West- 
port,  and  other  places  too  nutoerous  tp  men- 
tion, all  bound  for  the  scene  of  action.  Later  in 
the  day  the  incoming  trains  from  all  quarters 
were  filled  with  visitors  all  on  their  way  to  the 
old  camp-ground.  At  noon  all  the  manufactories 
and  shops  and  many  of  the  stores  were  closed, 
and  the  afternoon  was  made  a  gene^  holiday. 
Camp  Hubbard,  at  which  the  review  took  rlace, 
is  situated  near  Gregory  Point,  famous  among 
other  things  as  the  annual  resort  of  those  obese 
gentlemen  who  are  especially  gifted  in  the 
destruction  of  clams.  The  location  presents 
excellent  facilities  for  the  purpose  for  which  it 
was  selected  being  a  ^de  plateau  of  many 
acres,  on  which  many  r^ments  might  man- 
oeuvre at  one  time  without  crowding  each  other. 
The  waters  of  Norwalk  Harbor  wash  the  front 
and  fianks  of  the  camp-ground,  while  in  the 
rear  are  low  undulating:  hills  crowned  with  lofty 
trees.  Here,  since  Monday,  have  been.encamped 
the  Second  and  the  Fourth  Regiments  of  tue 
Connecticut  National  Guard.  Brig.-Gen.  Wil- 
liam Randel  Smith  commanding. 

It  was  fully  3  o'clock  before  the  line  was 
formed  for  the  review,  which  was  not  precisely 
military  time,  the  hour  having  been  fixed  at 
2:30.  At  this  time  the  scene  was  truly  pic- 
turesque. Fringing  the  camp-grounds  every- 
where, save  on  the  water-front,  were  hundreds 
of  carriages  and  other  vehicles,  while  eager 
masses  of  people  on  foot,  estimated  at  not  le-ss 
than  10,000,  were  ranged  about  the  broad 
parade-ground,  and  out  on  the  water  myriads 
of  little  pleasvire  craft  were  flitting  about. 
There  were  at  first  very  few  who  recognized  in 
the  rather  portly  and  plainly  dressed  gentleman 
who  appeared  just  as  the  line  was  forming  the 
Governor  and  Comtuander-in-Chief,  but  when 
his  identity  was  discovered  he  was  greeted  with 
great  enthusiasm,  which  he  gracefully  acknowl- 
edged with  repeated  bows,  taking  his^^pSRtion 
on  foot  in  the  midst  of  his  staff,  who  were 
arrayed  in  gorgeous  uniforms.  Gov.  Hubbard 
then  proceeded  to  review  the  troops.  The 
famous  Second.  Col.  Stephen  R.  Smith,  attired 
in  gray  coats  and  white  pantaloons,  held  the 
right  of  the  line,  and  the  Fourth.  Col.  Fairchild, 
in  blue  coats  and  white  pantaloons,  were  on  the 
left.  The  men  marched  past  the  Governor  in 
their  best  form  and  presented  a  most  creditable 
appearance.  There  were  present  many  distin- 
guished civilians  and  a  number  of  military  gen- 
tlemen from  abroad,  among  whom  may  be  men- 
tioned Col.  Vose  and  staff,  of  the  New-York 
Seventv-flrst,  who  came  especially  to  visit  Col. 
Smith.  'The  review  lasted  abouthalf  an  hour, 
after  which  the  Governor  and  his  staff  retired, 
when  the  regnlar  brigade  drill  was  proceeded 
with.  Twice  during  the  evolutions,  so  dense 
was  the  crowd  that  the  flanks  of  the  Fourth 
were  broken,  but  the  men  recovered  quieklj- 
and  completed  all  the  movements  in  a  handsome 
manner. 

This  evening  at  0:30  there  was  a  dress  parade, 
at  which  Gov.  Hubbard  was  present.  1  he  day 
has  been  one  of  uninterrupted  enjoyment  to 
many  thousands,  and  will  long  be  kept  green  in 
the  memories  of  those  who  have  participated  iu 
its  festive  scenes.  To-morrow  will  be  the  last 
day  of  the  encampment,  when  a  review  and  in- 
spection will  be  held  by  Gen.  Smith.  This 
year's  encampment  has  been  peculiarly  satisfac- 
tory alike  to  officers  and  men.  and  is  believed  to 
have  contributed  materially  to  the  morale  of  the 
National  Guard.

Newburo,  N.  Y..  Aug.  30. — The  recent  or-

revived  the  old-time  interest  in  boating  affairs  here. 
The  association  set  to  work  at  onte  to  prepare  for 
its  uinuAl  regatta,  and  the  result  Is  that  to-day  they 
commenced  a  two-days'  rowing  programme,  consist- 
inic  of  eight  races,  that  "drew  together  the  most  prom- 
inent and  skillful  oarsmen  In  the  United  States. 
Long  before  the^time  to  commence  the  races  the  town 
began  to  fill  ujiwith  strangers,  and  dming  the  day  it 
was  estimate^  that  several  thotuands  were  here  from 
New- York.  Boeton,  Buffalo,  Albany.  Springfield,  and 
other  places.  The  first  race  was  for  boys  under  20 
years  of  age.yingie-sciill  working-boats,  not  over  19

THE  PBOSECITTION  OP  M.  OAMBBTTA  AND 
His  PUBUSHER— THE  GO'SriRNMENT  PRE- 
PARING FOR  A  DEFEAT — ^\3EWS  OP  A 
CONSERVATIVE  REPUBLICAN — HONOS  TO 
AN  AUEBICAN   OFFICER. 

London,  Aug.  30.— The  Times'  Paris  dis- 
patch states  that  M.  Murat,  publisher  of  the 
Rdpuhlique  Frantaiae,  has  received  a  siimmons, 
similar  to  that  served  on  M.  Qambetta,  to  ap- 
pear before  the  Juge  d'Xnstrvction  of  the  Civil 
Tribunal  of  the  Seine  on  Friday.  These  sum- 
monses relate  only  to  preliminary  private 
investigation.  The  Fran(aise  urges  that 
the  conviction  of  M.  Gambetta  as  ah  in- 
sulter  and  transgressor  of  the  laws  would  es- 
trange, him  fropi  serious  s^tesmen,  and  above 
all,  from  tlje  Left  Centre. 

.The  Time^  Paris  correspondent,  commenting 
upon  this  (nd  also  upon  the  assertion  of  the 
MoniteuTf  that  President  MacMahon  rece'ntly 
declared  that  hie-  would.be  willing  to  accept  a 
Left  Centre  Ministry,  says :  "  Several  signs 
tend  to  show  that  the  Cabinet  are  taking  meas- 
ures for  the  eventuality  of  defeat,  so  as  to  se- 
cure'a  Left  Centre  Ministry,  such  as  the  Marshal 
could  accept." 

Another  dispatch  to  the  Time*  says :  "  M. 
L6on  Renault  has  addressed  a  speech  to  his  con- 
stituents at  Brunoy,  which  is  noteworthy,  as  he 
is  one  'Of  the  most  conservative  Republicans. 
M.  Renault  considered  all  fear  of  a  <oup  d'etat 
obviated  by  the  personal  integrity  of  President 
MacMahon,  who,  thou°;h  he  may  have  been  in- 
volved by  assurances  of  the  existence  of  an  imag- 
inary peril  in  an  enterprise  full  of  danger  for 
France  and  himself,  would,  when  brought  face 
to  face-with  a  direct  violation  of  law,  shrink 
with  horror  from  such  an  outrage."  He  also 
scouted  the  idea  that  the  Government  could  re- 
sort to  repeated  dissolutions,  and  said  the  right 
of  dissolution  was  not  created  to  enable  the 
President  of  the  Republic  to  enforce  his  per- 
sonal views,  but  only  to  enable  him.  In  case 
of  a  disagreement  with  the  most  direct  repre- 
sentatives of  the  nation,  to  appeal  to  the  true 
sovereignty  of  the  nation.  'When  that  sover- 
eignty has  spoken,  It  Is  rebellion  not  to  bow  to 
its  decree,  and  it  Is  a  libel  on  President  Mac- 
Mahon to  allege  him  capable  of  disregarding  tbe 
laws  from  which  he  derives  his  authority.  The 
nation  should  not  let  Itself  be  disturb^  by  a 
threat  of  a  second  dissolution  any /more  than  by 
that  of  a  coup  d'fitat."  / 

Paris,  Aug.  30. — A  decree  of  President.Mac- 
Mahon  has  been  issued  conferring  a  gold  medal 
upon  Lieut.  Fozler.  comiAi^nder  of  the  Ameri- 
can steamer  Pix,  for  saving  the  ^''^I'^h  ship 
Peabody  In  the  Mississippi  Blver.J     ^ 

The  semi-official  Difense  asserts  thsit  the  date 
of  the  elections  has  been  finally  fixe)^  for  Sun-i 
day,  the  14th  of  October. 

'The  proceedings  against  M.    Chardo^  Sena-

been  abandoned.  He  will  only  be  tried  in  Paris

London,  Aug.  30.— An  official  telegram 
from  the  Viceroy  of  India  summarizes  the 
progress  of  fte  famine  from  Aug*  20  to  Aug. 
28.  It  says  in  Madras  the  situation  has  not 
improved  anywhere,  and  is  distinctly  worse  in 
Madura.  Coimbatoor,  NellSre,  and  Salem,  where 
there  are  919.7.71  on  the  relief  works,  and 
1.320,971  receiving  .gratiiltous  relief.  In 
ilysore  crop  pro^fpects  are  worse,  and  shbwels 
less  frequent  ;  243,28,*^  are  on  the  works,  or  re- 
ceiving gratuitous  relief:  More  favorable  ac- 
counts continue  of  the  condition  of  the  crops  in 
the  Bombay  Presidency,  owing  to  recent  rains. 
In  the  North-west  Provinces  the  Autumn  crop 
in  the  divisions  of  Agra  and  Jhansi  is  nearly 
lost,  and  in  the  .\llahabad  and  Benares  di- 
visions it  is  critical.  There  has  been  a  good 
rain  in  Meerut  and  Rohilcund.  The  crops 
in  Oudh  are  suffering  -from  a  hot  wind.  The 
condition  of  the  Punjaub  is  critical,  and  that  of 
Gwallor,  Kajputana,  and  Hyderabad  bad.  There 
Is  much  distress  in  the  so'uth  of  the  Nizam's 
dominions.  The  Deccan  is  unproved.  Pros- 
pects are  good  In  South  Bengal,  Bumiah,  and  in 
the  central  Provinces  of  Berar,  Indore,  and  Rut- 
lam. 

Bombay,  Aug.  30. — More  favorable  accounts 
continue  of  the  condition  of  crops  in  the  Bom-

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Aug.  30.— The 
steamer  City  of  Peking  arrived  here  to-day  from 
Hong  Kong,  via  Yokohama.  She  brings  dates 
from  Hong  Kong  to  Aug.  4,  Shanghai  to  Aug. 
5,  and  Yokonama  to  Aug.  15. 

The  cholera  continues  in  Chinese  seaports, 
but  it  is  believed  to  be  decrea-sing.  There  are 
renewed  reports  of  Chinese  victories  in  the 
we-stern  provinces.  The  United  States -ship 
Kearsarge  was  seriously  damaged,  but  not  dis- 
abled. In  a  storm  off.  the  coast  of  Turkieu.  J. 
C.  Myers,  late  Consul-General  at  Shantrhnt,  re- 
turns" to  America  by  this  steamer  to  protest 
against  his  removal  at  the  instigation  of  Minis- 
ter Seward, 

The  rebellion  in  Japan  Is  entirely  broken,  but 
there  will  probably  be  irregular  fighting  for  a  long 
time  to  come.-  It  is  also  admitted  that  there 
may  possibly  be  one  large,  final  engagement, 
though  it  is  not  expected.  Tlie  Insurgent  bands 
now  retreat  before  every  advance  of  the  national 
troops,  and  abandon  strong  positions  without  a 
struggle.  The  whole  rebel  force  Is  confined 
within  a  limited  area  In  the  Province  of  Hlnga. 
A  large  oortion  of  the  national  Army  has  been 
withdrawn  as  being  no  longer  needed  in  the 
field.  The  Emperor  returned  from  Kioto  to  the 
Capitol,  in  Tokio,  Julv  30, with  the  Empress  and 
court.  AM  the  branches  of  the  Government  are 
now  operating  In  Tokio.  Nothing  has  been 
heard  of  the  rebel  leader  Sagio  for  two  months. 
Whether  he  Is  dead  or  alive  is  unknown.'  The 
returns  of  the  census  of  Japan  for  1875 
give  the  population  at  33.025,678.  A  Jap- 
ane.se  industrial  exposition  will  open  on  the 
21st  of  August  In  'a  new  edifice  erected  for  that 
purpose  in  the  Park  of  Myeno,  in  Tokio.  An- 
nua! repetitions  of  the  exposition  are  intended. 
A  severe  storm  occurred  July  26,  along  the 
Japanese  coast.  Thei;e-  were  many*  wrecks  and 
considerable  loss  of  life.  Ships  from  America, 
Germany,  and  Denmark  were  lost.  Much 
newspaper  comment  has  been  excited  in  conse- 
quence of  a  warning  received  by  the  French 
journal  published  in  Yokohama,  from  the- 
French  Minister,  for  the  reproductian 
there  of  a  satirical  article  by  Edmund 
About  from  tbe  JS'ineteenth  Century  of  Paris. 
The  Alinister  is  said  to  have  threatened  suppres- 
sion or  the  deposition  of  the  editor.  Admiral 
Reynolds,  ^nited  States  Navy,  is  compelled  by 
ill  health  to  return  to  America  by  this  steamer. 
There  Is  an  extraordinary  combination  of .  Eng- 
lish newspapers  in  Japan  to  spread  the  report 
that  torture  has  been  revived.  Their  purpose 
Is  unknown.  -All  the  foreign  papers,  with  .one 
exception,  sent  from  Japan  by  this  mall  carry 
the  same  story,  which  is  totally  false,  and  has 
no  f  oui^ation  of  any  kind.  It  is  believed  to  be 
part  of  an  English  political  scheme  to  injure 
the  character  of  the  Japanese  Government 
abroad.  Torture  is  now  truly  understood  to  be 
absolutely  abolished.

EMAJfCIPATION  IN  MADAGASCAR.' 


THE  EDICT  OP  THE  QUEEN  LIBEKATDTO-THE 
KOZAUBIQUE  SLA'VES  ON  THE  ISLASO — 
ITS  PRACTICAL  RESULTS. 

■Washington,  Aug.'  30. — The  United 
States  Consul  at  Tamatave  has  sent  to  the  De- 
partment of  State  a  draft  of  the  edict  issued  by 
the  Queen  of  Madagascar,  on  tbe  20th  of  June, 
emancipating  the  Mozambique  slaves  on  th^t 
island.  ThaTreaty  of  1865  between  Madagas 
car  and  the  Western  po  wen  prohibited  the  further 
introduction  to  that  country  of  slaves  from  be- 
yond the , seas  ;  but  according  to  the  late  edict 
the  obligations  of  that  treaty  have  'been  con- 
tinually violated,  and  now  the  Mozambique 
.slaves,  those  Introduced  prior  •  to  •  1665  .and 
since,  are  emancipated.  Th^  Consul'  says  that 
if  this  edict  of  emancipation  is  legitimately 
cariied  out,  and  no  restrictions  placed  upon  the 
emancipated,  the  country  will  imniediately  feel 
its  good  results  in  its  industries  and  comznerce  ; 
but  if  they  are  held,  .like  other  Malaysia  sub- 
jects, to  enforced  Govemmept  laboi;  without 
pay,  Bad  not  permitted  to'  leave  the  country, 
the  good  results  will  not  amount  to  muob  for 
the  present.  The  Queen's  orders  to  her  Gov- 
ernors, direct  them  to  see  that  her  edict  Is  ful- 
filled, and  provide  for  the  proper  care  of  the  late 
slaves.  They  are  to  receive  a  sufficient  portion  of 
land  to  enable  them  to  sustain  themselves  prop- 
erly, but  they  cannot  sell  the  land  lest  they 
might  be  Imposed  upon.  They  are  to  be  coun- 
seled and  they  are  expected  to  •  work  well,  and 
can  chooso  any  occupation  they  please  to  earn 
a  livelihood.  Should  they  get  sick  or  require 
food,  their  wants  miist  be  supplied,  but  all  idle- 
ness must  be  discouraged.  — —

if  it  is,  it  is  an  ordinary  current 
balance'  which  is  paid  by  him  at  any

move all  danger  unless  it  is  followed  by  more." 
The  health  of  the  officers  and  crew  of  the 
Frolic  was  good. 

Information  has  been  received  at  the  Navy

Adams,  announcing  the  arrival  of  that  vessel 
at  Bahia,  Brazil,  on  the  .5th  of  August.^from 
Rio  de  Janerio.  All  -well  on  board.  On  tbe

made  of  Hoppen  Bank,  but  Commander  Rogers

ported by  the  bark  Professor  Ayre.  He  reports 
the  discovery  of  an  unknown  bank,  the  centre

Mr.  Francis  Murphy,  who  has  been  rusticating 
on  Schooleys  Mountain  since  last  Friday,  came  down 
into  this  pretty  little  valley  this  aftemooh  to  tell 
once  more  his  itory  of  a  drunkard's  career  and 
reformation.  His  coming  had  beA  pretty 
well  herllded,  and  3,000  persons  gathered 
to  hear  Itew^As  '  Hackettstown  is  'a  vil-

A  'Well-dressed,   respectable-appearing  young

Bauer  ACo.'s  Atlantic  Garden,   at  Coney  Island,  on 
Friday  morning  last,  and,  entering  the  pla^  an- 
nounced himself  as  a  son  of  tn«  late  Mayor  Have-

deleganons. '  A  large  proportion  of  the  Hac'^ettstown 
people  closed  their  'shops  and  locked  their  ^oose 
doors  and  joined  the  company.  '  *■' 

Hackettstown  is  a  delightful  little  place,  with 
winding,  down-hill  streets,  Ijipg  in  &  little  valley  all 
its  own,  completely  shut  in  by  undulating  hills.  The 
people  are  not  the  sortof  folk»-Ts6on  whom  a  temper- 
ance exhorter  woold  be  exi^eted^to  work  the.  most 
good ;  indeed,  It  'seems  scarcely  possible  that 
there  is  a  man  in  the  town  who  was  ever 
addicted  to  liqnor  or  any  other  form  of  vice  ;  a  large 
proportion  of  them  appear  to  be  clergymen,  dominies 
they  call  themselves  here,  and  the  remainder  of  the 
male  population  is  largelv  made  up,  apparently,  of 
theological  students  and  subscribers  for  ttt«,reUgious 
newspapers. .  There  wA  one  florid  gentlem^  at  the 
meeting  to^y  who  said  "  amen  "  ve^'^loadly  after 
Mr.  Murphy's  exhortations,  and  who  appeared  to 
have  a  pretty ,  thorough  knowledge  of  the  vffl^us 
phases  in  a  drunkard's  life  as  the  orator  described 
them,  but  inquiry-  elicited  the  information  that  he 
was  a  native  of  another  town. 

Kev.  Mr.  M'Caaley,  the  Presbyterian  preacher  in 
the  villf^e,  met  Mr.  Murphy  in  Atlantic  City  and 
urged  hlm'to  tell  his  story,  'once  at  least,  to  the  peo- 
ple of  Northern  New-Jersey  ;  so  when  the  orator 
happened  to  come  to  Sehooley's  Mountain  he  con- 
sented to  oblige  Mr.  M'Cauley  and  the  people  .of 
Northern  New-Jersey.  The  place  of  the  meeting 
was  Kemple  Grove,  a  dense  and  » lovely 
wood  of  mighty  pine  and  hemlock  trees 
lying  a  mile  or  so  east  of  the  village.  At  the  erove 
the  people  began  to  arrive  Jl>ef ore  noon,  and  many  of 
them  ate  their  luncheons  there.  Two  o'clock  was 
the  appointed  hour,  and  at  that  time  the  many  pine 
benclies  provided  for  the  listener*/  were  crowded. 
The  spectators'  stand  was  erect^d^Qg—tt^  bank  of  a 
shallow,  pebbly  !itream  that  flow*  thr'bingh  the  grove. 
It  was  altogetlier  a  proper  \  place  for 
a  temperance  lecture.  Mr.  Murphy  artived  at  a  few 
minutes  befpre  3  oclock.  with  a  party  from  the  Sum- 
mer hotels  on  the  mountain.  During  the  p^tervalof 
waiting  a  brass  band  and  a  Quintet  of  jftrlpe'^d  in 
Rtruments  plaved  "Annie  Laurie"  m^d 
on  the  Rhine.  ,  As  the  day  was  a  warm  one. 
grov4  was  cool,  the  people  were  patient,  and 
the  time  passed  plea^aptfy  enough.  Mr.  <^ur- 
phy.  '  on  hia-  arrival,  was  greeted  with 
applause.  The  lecture  was  preceded  by  a  prayer 
by  K«v.  Mr.  Butt,  of  I>rew  Tbeologicai  Seminary, 
and  by  a  collection,  which  it  was  explained  whs  not 
for  Mr.  Murphy,  who  depended  "upon his  Heavenly 
Father  for  support."  The  orator  was  introdured  by^ 
Mr-  Samuel  P.  GtHlwin.  of  Philadelphia,  tbe  Presi- 
dent of  the .  I-Vjinklin  Reformatory  Instiiution  of 
Pliiladelphia.  who  is  intimately  associated  with  Mr.  ' 
Mnrphy.  Thpn  the  orator,  to  see  and  hear  whom 
the  crowd  had  collected,  arose  and  approached  the 
front  of  the  platform. 

Mr.  Mnrphy.  ib  a  man  of  more  than  thg  medium 
height,  with  ^road  sljpUrieRt  and  a  Rtahvan  form. 
lu  appearance  he  resembles  a'  well-to-do  mur«ii*mt. 
Although  lie  is  only  4.1  years  of  age.  his  haarat  tliP 
sides  is  quife  silvery  ;  he  wears  it  cut  short,  andThis 
face  is  shaven  except  the  upper  lip.  He 
wore  to-day  black  clothes  of  unexi-eption- 
able  cut,  and  the  bow  of  his  white  cra- 
vat wa-s  skilfully  tied.  His  voice  Is  loud, 
clear  and  jilensHTi^  and  there  Js  just  the  sliglite.'st 
trace  of  an  Irish  brosrue  in  hisAeech.  His  gestures 
are  natural,  and,  for  the  most  jArt.  graceful.  Occa- 
sionally, however,  when  he"  removes  Lolh  feet  from 
the  floor  at  one  time,  as  he  did  to-day  when  he  apos- 
trophised invisible  snakes  in  the  climax  *rfr  his 
discourse,  he  sacrifices  grace  to  forf«.  Ho  has . 
one  curious  manufrism  :  when  he  '  sees-  that  he 
nas  iuipressed  his  hearept  deeply  at  some  point  in 
his  lecture,  he  st/>ps  abruptly,  exclaiminir.  "May  God 
bless  us  all !''  and  waits  for  several  seconds  hef:'>re  he 
resumes  his  theme.  He  ha.s  facial  exprps.-«ion. 
mimetic .  powers,  and  a  '  fuDd  of  humor. 
He  alternates  patnns  witli  broad  Immor, 
and  immediately  after  he  has  ma<le  his 
hearers  weep.  and  wept  bini'^elf..  nt  some 
iaffcctine  incident  or  impa.'^sioned  exhortation,  he  will 
frequently  break  out  inl^a  rich  Irish  bro^rnc.  and 
narrate  some  tale  of  life '* beyant  the  say,"  making 
it  apt,  however.  Moreospf.  bo  does  his  joiner  work 
well,  and  his  sudd. -u  transitions  from  frrave  to  c:iy. 
do  not  s»*em  to  hi«  heart-r  to  be  incongruous.  He* 
frequently  quotes  froin.the  poet**,  and  more  frequent- 
ly niisqnotes,  or  jwrhaps  it  would  be  better  to  say 
paraphrases. 

Mr.  Murphy  bcsan  his  I'-cture  to-dnywith  a  request 
that  a  tdlent  prayer  be  oCfereil  iiT»  for  Jiim  by  every  one 
present.  He"  said  tlut.  his  theme  w:ts  "  Ueai  IJfe." 
He  had  no  unkind  words  for  liquor-dealers  or  liqimr- 
drinkerp.  He  ^Kint  there  "  with  malice  townrd  u^a)*'. 
with  charity  for  Jill."  He  should  talk 
about  him.sfif.  !Tu  wa<i  bom,  he  s:iid. 
on  the  24th  of  April.  \^'M\.  in  the  County  of  Wix- 
ford.  in  the  south  of  Ireland,  in  a  thatched  cott;u;e 
which  4aler  in  the  lecture  he  spoltp  of  a.s  "chip- 
boarded  with  ivy."  He  spoke  nt  Rome  len;{tn  *»f  his- 
early  life,  and  some  of  his  word-pimires  were  quite  "1 
j>'>t.-tical.  He  irabibetl  his  kgH-or  ii<iurir  at  home.  I 
He  remembered  haWn:;  'Tu-f n  under  the

at  the  age  of  10  years,  landing  in  Port-

He  stopped  drinking  and  got  out  of  it.  ■  He  marritd.

n!!<l  people  who  soil  liquor.  That  is  not  the  way  to 
(■oi\vert  them.  Mr.  JIurphy  always  has  tears  in  his 
o»n\  eyes  when  he  is  narrating  a  pathetic  inrident.

liero  to  Nor^stown.  Penn.,  next  Tuesday  to  lecture. 
He  says  that  he  wants  to  go  to  New- York,  and  won-

THE  GOOD  TEMPLAR^  OF  NSWTQRK. 

Elmira,  N.  Y..  Aug.  30.— The  Grand  Lodge 

of  Good  Templars  of  tbe  State,  which  has  been  in 

session  heire  for  thf>  past  three  days,  elected  the  fol- 

kt'vixue  oillttara  u^  ttgtJ^'—  C^  X*  As-ij:  ""^ 


nized  by  one  of  Mr.  Bauer's  clerk>:.  The  stranger 
drank  freely  of  the  beat  champagne,  smoked 
the  most  costly  ,  cigars,  and  ate  of  the 
choicest  and  most  expensive  viands  during  the 
day,  and  the  result  was  that  when  night  came  he 
was  in  such  a  condition  that  it  was  concluded  not  to 
fAlow  him  to  drive  his  team  back  to  the  City,  and 
both  he  and  his  horses  were  comfortably  provided 
for.  The  next  day  he  gave  Mr.  Bauer  his  check 
for  $'200,Jtt_,payment  of  his  bill,  and  received 
$60  --in  chartge-  He  then  ■wont  out 
for  a  drive  along  the  beach,  and  meeting  some 
friends,  began  a^aln  the  same  course  pursued  by 
him  the  day  pre^-ious.  spending  money  extravagantly, 
and  at  night  finding  himself  unfitted  for  the  drive 
home.  Thus  things  continued  until  Wednesday 
evening,  up  to  which  time  he  haU 
ifiven  Mr.  Bauer  checks  amounting  to  about 
$600,  which  were  finally  relumed  from  the 
bank  as  worthless.  The  young  man  was  driving  his 
fastleam  on  the  beach  when  the  checlui  came  back. 
About  10  o'clock  he  returned,  somewhat  under  the 
influence  of  liquor,  and  was  confronted  with  the 
checks.  He  was  very  much  astonished,  but 
contended  that  it  was  all  right,  and  that  his 
mother  would  make  it  all  right  in  the  morning,  as 
soon  as  he  could  telegraph  to  her.  Bauer,  however, 
sent  for  an  officer  and  had  the  young  man  arrested, 
when  Havemeyer  informed  hiin  that  he  was  just  out 
of  the  lunatic  asylum  at  Utica,  and,  therefore,  it 
would  do  no.  good  to  have  him  ar  ested.  He  offered 
to  remain  in  Mr.  Bauer's  custody,  and  to' give  him 
the  horses  and  cain-iages  as  security,  until  he  could 
communicate  with  his  mother.  Tlus  offer  was  ac- 
cepted; the  young  man  was  placed  under  surveU- 
lance,  and  the  turnout  duly  ma<le  over  to  Bauer  & 
Co.  Half  an  hour  afterward  a  man  entered 
the  garden,  sought  out  Mr.  Bauer,  nud 
informed  that  gentleman  that  his  name 
was  William  Henry  Beers ;  that  he  was  the 
propriftorof  the  Mutual  Club  Liverv  Stable  at  No. 
i'<i>i  Wfst  Thirty-fifth  street,  and  that  he  owned  the 
'horses  and  carriage  driven  by  Mr.  Uavemeyer.  He 
said  that  the  man  had  procui^ed  the  team  from  him 
on  Thursday  last  by  making  the  same  representa- 
tions that  he  had  to  Mr.  Bauer,  and  that  he  hired 
the  team  for  one  day  only.  Mr.  Beers  claims 
that  hts  wagon  is  damaged  $'J30.  his  harness  ruined. 
and  his  horses  reduced  to  skeletons.  He  also  threat- 
ens to  prosecute  the  young  man  on  a  charge  of  steal- 
ing the  team  if  he  is  not  properly  compensated,  and 
Mr.  Bauer  threatens  to  pn>secnte  him  for  obtaining 
money  under  false  pretenses.  ^ 

Havemeyer  was  detained  as  a  prisoner  at  the 
Ailantic  Garden  until  5:30  o'ciockJast  night,  when 
Mr.  Bauer  appeared  to  Justice  ^^Vhies.  at  Graves- 
end,  and.eatered  a  complaint  acratust  him  of  obtain- 
ing money  under  fa'se  pretenses.  The  result  was 
that  the  i»risoner  was  placed  in  charge  of  Officer  Con- 
uers.  and  by.  him  lodged  in  Raymond-Street  Jail. 
Brooklyn .  It  is  stated  that,  if  a  relat  i  ve 
of  the  lato  Mayor  Havemeyer.  the  relationship 
is  veiy  remote^  and  that  the  accused  is  not  a  favorite 
with  that  branch  of  the  Havemeyer  family.  It  is 
also  stated  Xhat  Mrs.  Wilson  and  ex-Senator  Nor- 
ton were  also  victimized  by  tbe  reckless  adventurer 
in  sums  of  $^0  and  $y*HJ.  respectively.  It  is  said 
that  all  the  \ictims  will  prosecute  the  young  man  to 
t.b.e  full  extent  of  the  law. 

XiLJ^van.  of  the  firm  of  Beers  &  Rvan,  proprietors 
of  the  Mutual  Club  livery  stable,  "S'o.  13S  West 
Tlnrty-first-street.  when  asked  last  evening  for  the 
particulars  regardimr  the  disapjwarance  of  his  wa^on 
and  team,  told  the  following  story:  On  last 
Tuesdav  week  a  couple  of  young  men  came  to 
the  oti&ce  -counecte*!  with  the  stablt-s  and  d<*- 
'sired  to  "hire  a  turnout.  One  of  them  said  his 
.name  w^s  Edward  Hav^jjieyor;  that  he  waw  in 
business  fn  the  City';  thatj»<*  was  livini:  at  the  Gilpey 
House,  and  that  lie  could  furnish  any  security  that 
liie  owners  of  the  team  M\ight  rtoiiin*.  The  hackman 
who  brr>uuht  tliem  to  the  stable  said  he  thought  it 
WK.S  nil  rittbt:  that  he  bruimbt  them  from  the  (iiUey 
Hi'use.  wJiere  he  knew  they  were  staying.  Mr.  Kyjiu 
let  them  havethe  team  without  n-quiringanydepo^jt, 
and  after  an  absence  of  sis  or  eight  hours  lliey 
came  ba'-k.  somewhat  under  the  influen.'e  ot' 
liquor.  Young  Havemeyer  cume  to  t)ie  stable  asraii: 
nu  lftj:t  Friday,  and  desirpd  to  hire  a  I>etTor  team.  s.t\  - 
in;:  h"  WiiiUd' lake  a  little  drive.but  did  n^it  know 
wiij-b  direction  he  would  take.  He  was  furnished 
with  a  fine  w."igon  aud  double  team,  valued  at 
.$l,tHKI.  As  he  did  not  return  for  Fcveral 
days.  the  proprietors  of  the  stable  be'*ame 
uneasy.  They  heard  from  some  source  that  liie 
yon ng  man  had  gone  to  C'»ney  Island.  Mr.  Beers 
al  on<"e  went  lu  the  island,  and  had  not  yet  returned. 
Mr.  Ryan  said  he  did  not  think  tii.it  young  Have- 
meyer iuiended  to  do  them  any  wrong,  and  ho  ^was 
not  uneasy  as  to  the  result. 

Mrs.  Havemeyer,  the  mother  of  Edward,  who  Wt*'?. 
at  -N''>.  7-^West  Korty-eighth-streel.  told  a  Times  re- 
poller  last  evening  that  she  kn^w  nothing  alwut  the

BOWLING   OF  THE    VICTORS. 

Th**  stHVind  elipven  of  the  J^tuten  Island  Cricket '

Club  plnyed  tlieir  first  match  same  of  the   season  on 

Stjiteii  Island  ye.siiTday.    Then*  was  a  good  attend- 

ant-o  aud  the  plyying  was  excellent.  The  St  Giujrgt'S 
nun  were  liiM  to  told,  aud  their  igb'. ranee  of  the 
gr-'und.  which  i.-s  a  vt-ry  poor  one.  was  plainly  dis- 
cenu^q  Ht  tile  lie^rinniu;:.  Conover  made  a  very  fine 
catch  at  rover  point,  liowevt-r.  and  Bowring,  Giles. 
and  t  'ampbell  did  exfeilent  bowling.  The  Stat- 
in  Islanders  b.atted  well  aud  str<»ug,  aud  ran 
their  score  up  to  1 35  runs.  Of  theso 
40  aj"e  credited  to  Kessler.  20  to  Eyre,  and  13  to  Ir- 
ving. In  the  .'^t  tieorge's  first  tnuiug  tlie  wickets  fell 
ft>r  75  ru.is,  which  lacked  one  of  the  requisil*-  num- 
ber to  pave  their  inning.  There  "was  nothing  «)r 
special  note  in  this  inning,  except  ibe  patient  playing 
of  Giles.  Jr..  for  -2  points,  aud  the  strong  batting  of 
McKim  for  15  runs.  In  their  second  inning  the  St. 
iieorges  succumbed  to  the  slow  bowling  of  Eyre  and 
the  swift  underhand  bowling  of  Sprague.  Their  best 
men  W'.-re  put  out  fQrlittle.  and  the  TO-n  fidlowed  in 
quick  su'-cesvitm.  TE?tieidin!^  on  both  side's  could 
ha-ve  oeeu  better,  and  the  .St.-iron  Islanders  can  at

On  the  Stock  Ezohiinge  to-day  the  specu- 
lators on  the  boll  side  demongtiated  their 
ability  to  coDtrol  the  market,  and  the  shorts 
who  sold  stocks  yesterday  on  the  Tznfavorable 
advices  from  Chicago  were  afforded  ample 
cause  vto  repent  th'eir  temerity.  Bight  at  the 
opening  a  scramble  to  cover  took  place,  and 
quick  as  thought  an  advance  In  prices  ran^ng 
from  la  to  2  ^P'  cent  ■was  established  along  the 
whole- line.  The  most  marked  improvement, 
was  in  the  Granger  stocks  and  the  trunk  line 
shares.  This  class  of  stocks  continues  to  be 
strongly  supported,  and  the  bulls  in  them  pro- 
'  f ess  to  be .  songnine  of  much  higher  prices. 
.During  the  afternoon  the  demand  from  the 
shorts  slackened,  and  under  sales  to  realize 
proflts  a  portion  of  the  early  advance  was  lost, 
the  market  at  the  •  close  beinx  rather  unsettled

on  the  sidenalk,  An  alarm,  was  raised,  and  Capt. 
McElwain,  of  the  Seventh  Precinct,  with  a  number 
of  officers,  hurried  to  the  spot.  Meszner  was  placed 
t^n  a  stretcher  and  taken  to  the  Madison-Street  Po- 
lice btation.  An  ambulance  was  telegraphed 
for.  and  as  it  drove  up  to  the  tloor 
tite  wounded  man  expired.  Carl  remained 
jtt  his  lathe  after  stabbing  his  brother,  and  was 
arrested  by  Capt-  Mc  El  wain  within  a  few  feet  of  the 
spot  where  the  tragedy  occurred.  He  seemsd  cool 
aiid  collected,  and  when  asked  why  he  tiad  stabbed 
hiH  brother  »hrugged  his  shoulders  and  remarked, 
"Yoa  would  have  done  the  same."  He  was  locked 
ny  in  a  cell  at  the  Madison-Street  Police  Station. 
His  wife  and  child  were  also  taken  in  charge  by  the 
Police,  and  detained  to  await  the  action  of  the  Coro- 
ner. The  woman  appeared  to  be  in  great  distress, 
Rud  wept  bitterly  while  in  the  station-house. 

Coroner  Woltman  assumed  charge  of  the  case  yes- 
terday afternoon.  The  remains  of  the  dead  paper- 
miiker  were  taken  to  the  Morgue,  where  an  autoj-sy 
vi  t«e  body  will  be  made  by  Dr.  Cusbman  to-day. 
An  extemaj  examination  of  the  wound  showed  that 
the  blade  of  the  chisel  entered  the  left  breast  about 
HD  inch  from  the  median  line,  between  the  third  and 
loiirth  ribs,  and  penetrated  to  the  lung.  Death  was 
n'j  doubt  due  to  internal  hemorrhage.  Carl  was  com- 
mitted to  the  Tombs  by  the  Coroner  to  await  the  re- 
sult of  the  imiuest,  and  his  wife  was  sent  to  the 
H'juse  of  /detention.  The  woman  is  38  years  of  age. 
The  inquest  Will  be  held  on  Monday. 

TWEED  TO  BE  SUMMOXED  AS  A  WITNESS. 
The  committee  of  three  who  were  appointed 
at  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen  to  in- 
vestigate the  misgovemment  and  dishonesty  of  the 
Tweed  r^imo  met  yesterday  in  the  Aldermanic 
Chamber  in  the  City  Hall.  The  session  was  unusu- 
ally brief,  the  only  business- transacted  being  the  re- 
ception of   the    opinion    of    Assistant    Corxmration 

•  Counsel  Cole  as  to  the  committee's  power 
to  summon  Tweed  as  a  witness.  Mr. 
Cole  stated  that'  he  had  examined  the 
law  relating  to  the  stimmoning  of  witnesses, 
and  nad  found  that,  both  by  ancient  charters  and 
more  recent  legislative  enactments,  the  Common 
CoancU,  either  as  a  body  or  through  a  chosen  com- 
mittee, had  iK>wer  to  institute  such  an  investigation 
a**  was  proposed  by  its  recent  resolntion,  and  that  it 
had4>ower  to  send  for  persons  and  papers  that  might 
be  needed  in  connection  with  £uch  investigation.  In 
such  a  case  the  Common  Council,  or  the  committee 
representing  it,  should  procure  from  a  Justice  of  the 

'  Supreme  Court  a  summons  for  a  certain  witness  to 
aujwsr  and  testify.  A  refusal  on  the  latter's  part  to 
oney  such  summons  was  punLnhable  as  contempt  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  ignoring  of  a  subpoena  in  a 
civil  itction.  The  summons  is  to  be  procured  on  the 
a^'plication  of  the  Cnairman  of  the  committee  or  a 
majority  of  its  members.  It  was  then  the  duty  of 
the  Justice  to  issue  the  summon);.  False  swearing 
before  the  committee  was  punishable  as  perjury. 
The  As.sistant  Corporation  Counsel  saw  no  reason 
for  any  distinction  in  the  case  of  Tweed, 
He  therefore  advised  them  to  apply  to  a  Justice  of 
the  Snpreme  Court  for.  a  summons  retjuesting  him 
to  appear.  Should  Tweed  refuse  to  obey,  it  would 
then  i>e  proper  to  consider  wiiat  means  were  neces- 

-wiry  to  compel  ^is  attendance.  Alderman  Cowing 
moved  that  the  sujigestion  of  the  Assistant  Cerpora- 
tiuii  Counsel  be  acted  upon  and  the  summons  in  ques- 
tion beapplied  f  r.  The  motion  havicg  been  curried, 
tiie  committee  adjourned  to  meet  on  Monday  after- 
noon at  '2  o'clock.

ZALIZ  HAVE  TO  SAT  BEOABDING  IT — 
CONPUCTINa  STATEMENTS— AEBIVAL  OP 
MRS.  DE  COUTO— LETTERS  OP  ADMINIS- 
TRATION  TO   BE   ISSUED   TO   HEB. 

By  decree  of  King  Alfonso  of  Spain,  the 
removal  to  that  country  of  the  remains  of  Don  Jos6 
Ferrer  De  Couto,  late  editor  of  El  Cronitta^  the  or- 
gan in  this  City  of  the  Spanish  Government,  is  to 
be  done  at  the  expense  of  the  Kingdom.1  Tl^e  widow 
arrived  in  this  City  on  Wednesday,  and  is  the  gnest 
of  Mr.  MartL  She  conferred  yesterday  with  Chev- 
alier Elpolito  Be  Uriarto,  Consul-General  of  Spain, 
w(th  regard  to  her  husband's  effects,  concerning  which 
there  is  understood  to  have  been  a  dispute  betwen  the 
Consul,  representing  the  widow,  and  Mrs.  Gonzalez, 
of  No.  110  West  Twenty-fifth-street,  with  whom 
for  the  last  six  years  of  his  life,  the  deceased  lived. 
The  Consul  said  yesterday  that  he  knew  of  no  dis- 
pute nor  of  any  unjtist  claim  on  the  part  of  Mrs. 
Gonzalez.  There  had  been  a  question  in  regard  to 
his  taking  charge  of  the  property,  but  now  that  the 
widow  had  srrived  the  question  was  settled.  The 
house  in  West  Twenty-fifth-street  belonged  without 
doubt,  he  believed,  to  Mrs.  Gonzalez.  The  entire 
property  left  by  Mr.  De  Couto  would  not  amount  to 
more  than  $40,000  at  the  outside,  and  the  greater 
part  of  this  was  In  Havana  The  paper.  El  CronUta, 
was  worth  little,  and  would  not  brine  more  than 
$2,000  at  auction,  he  thought.  The  whole  matter 
was,  he  said,  in  the  hands  of  the  Public  Administra- 
tor, and  letters  would  be  granted  to  Mrs.  De  Couto, 
who  would  return  to  Spain  as  soon  as  her  affairs 
here  and  in  Havana  were  settled.  The  Consul 
did  not  know  of  the  existence  of  any  will. 

Mrs.  Gonzalez's  lawy*rs,  Messrs.  Alexander  and 
Green,  do  not  represent  the  matter  as  being  so 
smooth.  Mr.  Green  professes  ignorance  except  as  to 
the  general  features  of  the  c«sc,  which,  he  says,  is  in 
the  chaige  of  one  of  the  youilg  men  in  the  office,  who 
is  now  out  of  town.  He  says,  however,  that  there  is 
a  dispute  ;  tliat  the  Spanish  Consul  wanted  to  gobble 
everything,  and  that  he  threatened  to  go  to  thehousa 
with  United  States  troops  and  take  possession.  By 
her  lawyers'  advice.  Mrs.  Gonzalez  consented  to  sub- 
mit the  dispute  to  Secretary  ICvurts,  but  he  refused 
to  consider  it,  saving  it  was  none  of  his  business, 
Mr.  Green  said  Re  ilid  not  know  just  what  the  quar- 
rel was  about.  He  did  not  know  whether  or  not  Mr. 
De  Couto  left  a  will. 

Aftt;r  seeing  the  Consul  and  Mr.  Green,  The 
Times  reporter  called  on  Mrs.  Gonzalez  at  her  house 
in  Tweniy-fifth-street.  Mrs.  Gonzalez  said  that  she 
had  been  treated  shamefully  by  the  Spanish  Consul 
and  Minister,  and  felt  Imrt  by  the  statements  which 
had  appeared  in  the  papers  to  the  effect  that  she  had 
refused  to  give  up  Mr.  be  Couto's  papers  and  other 
property  except  by  process  of  law.  She  said  that  as 
soon  as  Mr-  De  Couto  died  she  sent  her  daughter  to 
close  and  lock  his  desk,  in  which  were  all  the  private 
papers  he  had  in  the  house,  and  which  always  stood 
open.  Xothingin  it  was  disturbed,  and  after  the  fu- 
n<-ral  she  had  it  sealed.  The  seal  was  not  broken  un- 
til Mr.  Craig,  oneofthehiwyersoftheSpanisb Consul, 
went  to  the  house  and  took  an  inventory  of  every- 
thing the  desk  contained.  She  asked  Mr.  Craig  what 
shoiild  be  done  with  the  thincs,  and  he  advised  that 
they  be  left  where  thev  were.  Mrs  Gt>nzftlez denied  the 
story  that  there  had  been  s  disturbance  at  the  funeral. 
Mr.  De  Couto  had  repeateilly  expressed  a  wish  that 
his  sword  and  hat  be  buried  with  him.  but  at  the 
funeral  this  was  objected  to,  and  th^  were  retained. 
She  said  that  the  only  property  Mr.  De  Couto  had  in 
this  City,  aside  from  tlie  newspaper,  consisted  of  his 
papers^  clothes,  and  piotures.  ana  tliat  he  had  never 
expressed  any  wish  in  regard  to  what  should  be  done 
with  any  of  them,  further  than  to  request  her  to 
take  charge  of  his  private  papers  in  the  office. 
Before  going  to  Brussels,  four  years  ago.  to  fight  a 
duel,  he  made  a  will,  but  a  few  months  k^o,  she  says, 
he  tore  this  up.  sayinc  he  would  make  another  some 
day.  She  did  not  know  of  any  will  being  now  in  ex- 
istence. Mrs.  Gonzalez  said  that  Mr.  De  Couto  was 
inconstant  correspondence  with  his  wife,  and  that 
be  attended  to  all  her  wants.  She  said  that  the 
threat  to  use  the .  military  was  made  on  the  part  of 
the  Spanish  Consul.  It  was  not  made  direct  to  her, 
but  .  she  knew  be  threatened  about  two  weeks  after 
Mr.  De  Couto's  death  to  go  to  the  honse  with  12  men 
from  the  United  States  Marshal's  office  and  United 
States  troops.  She  said  she  had  not  been  allowed  to 
take  charge  of  Mr.  De  Couto's  papers,  as  requested, 
and  that  she  did  not  know  what  claim  would  be  made 
against  her.  She  understood  that  an  attempt  would 
be  made  to  obtain  po^tsession  of  the  house. 

In  the  Public  Administrator's  ofRce  it  was  sa'-?  that 
letters  would  be  granted  to  ilrs.  De  Couto,  according 
to  law.  ■

THE  EXPECTED  ARRIVAL  OP  THE  WITNESSES — 
A  HISTORY  or  THE  CASE. 

As  recently  reported  in  The  Times,  the  Amer- 
ican brig  C.  C.  Sweeney  is  expected  to  arrive  at  this 
port  soon,  with  four  witnesses  of  the  murder  of  Mr, 
Harris,  the  second  mate,  by  one  of  the  crew  named 
Smith,  who  headed  a  mutiny,  in  which  he  was  joined 
by  three  fellow-seamen,  named  John  Williams,  Wil- 
liam Davis,  and  Thomwald  Andersen,  the  revolt  tak- 
ing place  on  the  IGth  of  last  May,  as  the  vessel  was 
leaving  Havre  for  Boston.  The  four  mntineers  were 
captured  and  taken  back  to  Havre,  and.  la  a  result  of 
an  investigation  by  the  French  uuthoritlea  will 
shortly  be  sent  to  this  country  for  trial.  The  inves- 
tigation in  France  bronijht  out  the  following  facts 
rAative  to  the  mutiny  and  the  murder  of  the  second 
mate: 

The  crew  of  the  vessel  consisted  of  the  Captain, 
Cole,  tht:^  nr^t,  and  Harris,  the  second  mate,  a  boat- 
swain, seven  sailors,  and  a  French  pilot.  Previous 
to  the  departure  of  the  vessel  no  apparent  ill  will- or 
quarreling  existed  amon?  the  men  with  the  exception 
of  Smith  coroplainim;  that  he  did  not  receive  enough 
advance  on  his  wa^es,  but  he  subsequently  seemed 
satisfied  with  the  explanations  ffiven  him.  The 
Sweeney  wastowedont  of  port  by  the  tui^-boatsJean 
Bart  and  Mutaura.  As  soon  as  the  vessel  had  passed 
the  pier  Mr.  Harris  commanded  Smith  to  h.itLl  a  sail, 
which  he  refu.«ed  to  do.  Williams  and  Davls.en- 
cooraged  him  in  his  re<<istance.  Harris  then  took 
him  by  the  arm.  when  Smith  struck  him  a  blow  with 
his  fist  which  knocked  him  down.  The 
boatswain  thereupon  came  to  the  rescue  of 
Harris,  but,  instead  of  helping  him,  tied 
to  the  stem  of  the  vessel.  Smith  rushed  to  his  berth 
in  the  forecastle  and  an  instant  later  came  on  deck 
aeain  armed  with  a  pistol,  and  commenced  firing  at 
Harris.  That  officer,  seeine  his  life  at  stake,  re- 
turned shot  for  shot  with  Smith.  About  six  shots 
were  fired,  when  Harris  fell  dead,  beln^  shot  through 
the  heart.  Meanwhile  the  Captain,  the  boiffswsin. 
and  the  cook  took  refuge  in  the  after  cabin.  Smith, 
after  killing  Harris,  acted  like  a  demon,  and  attempt- 
ed to  kill  the  French  pilot,  who  managed  to  es<'ape 
overboard,  however,  and  ^t  into  his  boat.  Smith, 
tlms  disappointed,  canuht  hold  of  a  sailor  named 
Ohten,  who  had  just  come  down  from  aloft.  He  pre- 
sented his  revolver  at  the  latter's  breast  and  waa 
about  shooting  him  when  Olsen  sprang  from  his 
grasp  and  escai^ed.  Thereupon  Smith  ran  to  the  after 
cabin,  where  the  Captain,  boatswain  and  cook  had 
gone  for  safetv.  and  commenced  firing  at  them.  The 
three  sailors,  Williams.  I>avis  and  Andersen,  while 
this  .was  Koing  on.  had  gone  down  to  the  forecastle 
and  armed  themselves,  to  help  Smith  in  his  mutiny. 
One  of  the  sailors  on  the  Sweeney,  who  remained 
faithful,  had  meanwhile  run  up  the  sicnal  of  distress, 
which  was  soon  seen,  and  the  vessel  was  lowed  back 
into  port  by  the  Ing-boat  Avant  Port.  S'nith,  when 
aectfed  of  mutiny  and  murder,  said  he  had  only 
acted  in  leEritiinate  self-il'»fcnse,  as  he  had  been 
beaten  by  order  of  the  .first  mate  with  sticks  nnd 
knuckle  dusters  and  that  the  mate  fired  first  at  him. 
This  story  was  not  subtitantinted  by  .luy  of  the  offi. 
cersorcrew.  Davis  admitted  stealing  clothes  from 
the  trunk  of  the  dead  oilicer. 


nearly  tSi.  the  eattle.  'nue  cattle  were  placed  in  pens, 
four  together,  tn  which  they  have  plenty  of 
room  ana  air,  uid  are  secured  only  by  a  rope  passed 
aroumd  the  neck  and  through  a  hole  in  -front  of  the 
pens.  Broad  psaaagewaya  pass  in  front  of  the  x>en8, 
and  noplft  prorlston  is  made  for  cleanliness.  Mr. 
BerglAras  mneh  pleased  with  the  entire  arrange- 
ment^ and  could  offer  no  snmestiona  for  improve- 
ment.  Other  steamers  are  to  o«  visited.  Mr.  Bergh 
.does  not^  as  stated,  object  to  any  method  by  which 
cattle  are  transferred  from  the  dock  to  the  ship,  but 
is  inquiring  only  as  to  the  facilities  for  comfort  on 
the  passage.  He  has  no  suspicions  against  any  line, 
but  IS  merely  looking  into  the  matter.

THE  COSTINENTAL  LIFE  COMPAXT. 

By  an  inadvertence  in  the  article  published  in 
The  Times  yesterday  treating  of  the  legal  disburse- 
ments in  re;!ard  to  the  Continental  Life  Insurance 
Company,  it  was  made  to  appear  that  $40,539  were 
paid  out  by  John  J.  Anderson  while  Receiver. 
Actually,  however,  only  $11,237  were  paid  out  by 
him.  but  the  remainder  was  paid  prior  to  his  assum- 
ing charge  of  the  company's  property.  Mr.  Ander- 
son's authority  for  having  made  the  payments  he 
did  is  set  forth  in  the  following  statement  made  to  a 
Times  reporter: 

I  regret  to  see  in  your  issue  of  Aug.  30  a  serious 
error,  reflecting  on  myself  and  my  administration  as 
Receiver  of  the  Contiuenti^l  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, in  respect  of  the  amonnt  of  legal  fees  stated'to 
nave  been  disbursed  by  me  during  my  Receivership. 
Instead  of  the  sum  of  $  10, .539  stated  in  your  issue, 
as  paid  by  me  as  Receiver,  the  correct  sum  is  $11.- 
23/,  a  difference  of  $29.30;i  between  the  correct 
t-um  and  that  stated  by  your  reporter.  I  desire  to 
add  that  these  payments  were  mode  bv  me  by  the 
authority  and  direction  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  in 
each  instance  submitted  to  the  tjupreme  Court  and 
fully  justified  and  approved.

A  NEW  DAXGEIt  IX  TIJE  BA  T. 
On  the  4  o'clock  P.  M.  doiA-n  trip  on  Wednes- 
day, the  .St-tten  Island  ferry-boats  Pomona  and  West- 
field  came  In  collision  in  the  middle  of  the  bay.  The, 
passengers  on  the  Pomona  were  first  startled  by  a 
sudden  ripping  of  boards  end  crashine  of  timbers, 
and  then  the  boat  careened  over  on  one  side,  giving 
rise  to  the  greatest  alarm  and  excitement  amoa^tbe 
women  and  children  on  board.  It  was  found  that 
the  Westfleld,  which  was  in  the  rear,  had  struck  the 
rival  boat  just  abaft  her  shaft  and  hsd  swept  alomt 
her  starboard  side,  carrying  everjthing  away  as  far 
as  her  wheel-house,  together  with  a^rtjon  chC  that. 
Fortunntely.  no  person  was  injured.  Neither  boat 
was  racing  at  the  time.  The  greatest  indignation 
was  expressed  by  the  passengers  on  the  Pomona  at 
the  recklessness  of  the  pilot  of  the  Westfleld.  who  It 
was  freely  chareed  had  purposely  brought  the  col- 
lision about.  All  the  explanation  given  by  those  in 
charge  of  the  latter  boat  was  tliat  the  Pomona  should 
have  got  out  of  the  way.  It  is  only  a  short  time 
since  the  Thomas  Hunt  was  ran  into  by  a  boat  of  the 
same  South  Shore  Line  tmder  somewhat  similar  cir- 
cumstances. 

THE  NEW  TELEGRAPH  RATES. 
The  new  telegraph  rates  are  still  under  con- 
sideration by  the  anthorities  of  the  Western  Union 
and  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Companies.  All  messages  to 
and  from  points  east  of  the  Mississippi  and  Missotui 
Rivers  are  to  be  rai&ed  to  $1  per  10  words.  The 
tariff  to  Chicago  Is  to  be  increased  to  40  cents  and  to 
St.  Louis  50  cents.  President  Ecfcert,  of  the  Atlan- 
tic and  Pacific,  stated  to  a  Times  reporter  yesterday 
that  the  new  tariff  had  not  yet  been  agreed  nx>on, 
and  was  still  the  subject  of  negotiation  between  the 
two  companies.  The  rates  to  the  points  stated  above 
may,  however,  be  considered  ae  fixed. 


THE  SHIPyiEXT  OF  CATTLE  TO  EUROPE. 

The  warrant  proctired  by  Mr.  Bergh  on 
Wednesday  in  the  matter  of  transporting  cattie  upon 
ocean  steam-ships,  was  only  a  precautionary  meas- 
ure, in  case  objection  should  be  made  to  his  investi- 
gating the  subject.  Mr.  Bergh  visited  the  steazn-shlp 
Canada,  of  the  National  line,  on  board  of  wideh  were 
130  head  of  cattle,  and  was  received  cordially  by  the 
officers.  The  cattle  were  driven  on  board  the  ship 
along  a  gangway  behind  a  trained  steer.  The  ateer

THE  8R00TIX0  OF  THOMAS  LLOTD. 
Coroner  Flanagan  yesterday  held  an  inquest 
in  the  case  of  Thomas  Lloyd,  of  No.  510  West 
Twenty-eighth-street,  who  died  at  the  New-York 
Hospital  from  the  eflTects  of  a  pistol-shot  wound  in 
the  abdomen  received  during  a  fracas  in  the  oyster 
and  drinking  saloon  of  John  McCormack.  at  the 
comer  of  Tenth-avenue  and  Tweutv-soventh-street. 
at  3  A.  M.,  on  the  24th  inst.  The  particulars  of 
the  affray,  which  resulted  in  Lloyd's  death,  have 
already  been  published  in  The  Times.  Some  of  the 
participants  had  been  attendants  at  the  primary  elec- 
tion of  the  Fifteenth  Assembly  District  Republican 
Association,  and  had  adjo<imed  to^  McCormack's 
saloon.  While  there  a  party  of  "  Fourth  Warders." 
who  had  come  up  to  "work  "  the  primary  in  the  In- 
terest of  one  of  the  rival  candidates  for  President, 
entered.  A  fracas  resulted,  during  which  Llovd  was 
shot.  In  his  ante-mortem  statement  Lloyd  sa^d  that 
he  did  not  know  who  shot  him.  nnd  during  the  in- 
quest yesterday,  although  a  number  of  persons  who 
were  present  during  the  row  were  eiiamined,  no  evi- 
dence as  to  who  fired  the  fatal  shot  was 
obtained.  The  only  testimony  on  this  point 
consisted  of  admissions  made  by  McCormack  to  the 
Police  after  his  arrest,  to  the  effect  Ihat  during  the 
fight  he  had  fired  one.  and  poasibly  two  shots,  for  the 
purpose  of  quelling  the  disturbance.  He  iuRlsted, 
however,  that  he  had  fired  the  shots  into  the  floor. 
On  thoRe  admissions  theory  rendered  a  verdict  that 
"  Thomas  Lloyd  came  to  his  death  by  a  pistol-shot 
wound  at  the  hands  of  Jbhn  SlcCormack."  Mr. 
Peter  Mitchell,  counsel  for  the  accused,  appealed  to 
tlie  Coroner  to  take  bail  for  his  client,  as  there  was 
nothing  in  the  testimony  to  Mstify  the  verdict,  and 
Coroyr  Flanapnn  consenteato  take  bail  in  the  sum 
of  $2,00l»,  for  the  appearance  of  the  accused  to 
answer  any  indictment  the  Grand  Jury  might  find 
against  him.  As  the  surety  was  not  "forthcoming, 
the  prisoner  was  committed  to  the  Tombs.

AND*  TWENTT-SECOND  BEOIMENTS  AT 
CREEDMOOR— FAIR  WEATHER  AND  GOOD 
SCORES. 

Detachments  from  the  Fifth,  Twelfth,  and 
Twenty-second  Regiments,  First  Brigade,  practiced 
rifle  shooting  at  the  targets  at  Creedmoor  yesterday. 
Cpl.  Porter,  of  the  Twenty-second,  had  been  ordered 
to  command  the  detachments,  but  he  was  absent,  and 
Major  HeaJy,  of  the  Twelfth,  being  the  senior  officer 
present,  assumed  command  of  ^»  brigade.  The 
strength  of  the  several  detachments  was  as  follows  : 
Twelfth  Regiment,  100  men,  Capt.  Bums  com- 
manding ;  Lieut.  Williams,  Acting  Inspector  of  Rifle 
Practice-  Twenty-second  Regiment,  101  men, 
Lieut.  Demarest  commanding ;  Ideut.  Terhnne,

Inspector  of  Rifle  Practice,  who  is  never  absent  from 
duty,  superintended  the  firing,  and  left  nothing  for 
his  subordinates  to  do.  The  behavior  of  the  men 
was  very  good,  and  close  attention  was  paid  to 
shooting.  The  weather  was  not  so  hot  as  it  had 
been  for  the  previous  few  days,  although  Dr.  Messe- 
mer  had  four  patients  who  were  affected  by  the  hent. 
The  number  who  qualified  at  100  and  150  yards 
to  shoot  at  300  and  400  yards  was  as  follows :

It  was  a  singular  thing  that  the  laree  detachment 
from  the  Twenty-Second  Regiment  should  have  heen 
allowed  to  go  down  to  the  range  accompanied 
by  only  two  commissioned  officers— -a  First  and  Sec- 
ond Lieutenant,  and  this  circumstance  added  to  the 
labors  of  the  Brigade  Inspector  very  materially. 
Among  the  visitors  to  the  range  were  Mr.  Andrew 
Finck  n-afS  family.  On  retumine  home,  and  while 
croBsiug  the  ferry  at  Thirty-totirth-street.  instead  of 
keening  on  the  side  of  the  cabin  allotted  t'^  men,  and 
in  the  centre  of  the  boat,  where  there  was  ample 
room,  some  members  of  the  Twenty-Second  Regi- 
ment went  shouting  through  the  ladies'  cabin,  mak- 
ing themselves  odious  to  the  lady  passengers. 

The  editor  of  the  .^iri(  <nf  the  Timet  has  oflPered  a 
purse  of  $1,000  in  gold  for  competition  in  a  special 
match  on  Sept.  18  at  Creedmoor.  The  contest  will 
be  open  to  all  comers  at  800,  900,  and  1,000  yards 
distance  :  15  shots  at  each  range.  The  purse  will  be 
divided  into  five  prizes,  ranging  as  follows  :  First 
prize.  $500  ;  second.  §250  ;  tiiird.  $125  ;  fourth, 
$75.  and  fifth,  $50.  "The  entrance  fee  will  be  $o  to 
each  competitor,  and  the  eross  amount  of  the  entries 
will  be  divided  between  the  five  competitors  making 
the  next  highest  scores.  This  match  will  virtually 
decide  the  indiWdual  championship  of  the  world. 


BASE-BALL. 


THE  IKDIAXAPOLIS    KIN'K    DEFEATED    BT  THE 
HARTFORDS — SCORE  7  TO  5. 

The  game  between  the  Indianapolis  and  Hart- 
ford clubs,  which  was  stopped  by  the  rain  on  "Wednes- 
day, was  played  off  yesterday  on  the  Union  Grounds. 
Tlie  game  was  extremely  interesting,  as  it  abounded 
with  good  play  in  the  field  [and  excellent  work  at  the 
bat.  Both  clubs  presented  the  same  nines  as  in  the 
previous  game.  Play  was  commenced  at  4  P.  M., 
with  Mr.  Matthews,  formerly  of  the  Mutuals,  acting 
as  umpire.  The  Hartfords  were  the  first  at  the  bat, 
but  were  retired  without  scoring  by  the  excellent 
fielding  of  Nolan,  Quest,  and  Houtz.  The  visitors 
also  failed  to  score  in  their  part  of  the  inning,  the 
Bide  belna  put  out  in  the  order  of  striking  by  Bur- 
dock. Start,  and  Allison.  The  next  inning's  play 
brought  two  runs  to  the  Hartford's  score,  the  result 
of  some  pretty  work  with  the  bat  by  Cassidy  and 
L*rkin,  tne  latter  marking  his  play  with  a  three-base  , 
hit  to  right  field.  For  the  visitors,  Nolan  and 
Houtz  led  off  with  good  hits,  but,  notwithstanding  this 
advantage,  they  were  unable  to  get  a  run,  as  the 
n?xi  two  placers  were  caucht  out  on  strikes  by  Al- 
lison, and  JfcSorley.  the  third  man.  beinc  declared 
out  on  a  citcn  by  Start.  Quest  made  the  first  run 
for  his  side  in  the  third  inning  by  his  good  base  run- 
ning and  batting,  aided  b^  an  qverpitch  by  liarkin 
and  Habridge's  slow  fielding  at  second.  The  Hart- 
fords  got  in  on  Nolan's  swift  delivery  attain  in  the 
fourth  inning  for  three  good  hits,  and  being  assisted 
by  Quest's  muff  of  Taylor's  slow-hit  grounder,  scored 
two  more  runs,  one  of  which  was  earned 
off  the  nitchlng.  The  visitors  retaliated  on 
I^arkin  in  their  part  of  the,  innina:. 
Mack.  Warner,  and  Rocap  each  making  base  hits, 
which  materially  helped  the  side  to  increase  its  score. 
Warner's  swift  base-running  by  which  he  earned 
third  base,  was  the  leading  feature  of  the  inning's 
play.  The  work  doneity  the  visitors  in  thi.s  inning 
agajnst  Larkin's  pitching  was  excellent,  and  was 
loudly  and  deservMly  applauded  by  the  spectators- 
The  fifth  inning  opened  with  the  Hartfords  at  the 
bat  and  the  score  standing  even,  each  club  having 
four  runs.  Habridee  lea  off  with  a  base  hit 
to  left  field,  out  was  forced  out  at 
second  base  by  Start's  liner  to  Mack  ;  Carey  got  his 
base  on  three  balls,  nnd  Cassidy  followed  with  a  long 
hit  to  Rocap  in  right  field,  which  he  failed  to  hold, 
letting  in  Carey  and  Start,  and  sending  Cassidy  to 
third  base.  Taylor  then  made  a  base  hit,  on  which 
Cassidy  scored  his  runs.  Larkln  ended  tne  inning 
for  the  Hartfords  by  striking  out.  The  visitors  made 
and  earned  a  rtm  off  Larkm's  pitching  in  their  part 
of  the  innini:,  by  the  good  batting  of 
Flint.  Warner,  and  Cuthbert.  Neither  side 
was  airain  able  to  score,  during  the  eame,  although 
the  visitors,  who  batted  very  well,  had  the  bases  oc- 
cupied several  times  by  runners.  Ferguson  and 
Holdsworth  were  still  absent  from  the  Hartfords, 
their  places  being  filled  by  Taylor,  of  the  iClielseas, 
and  llabridge,  the  regular  Substitute  of  the  club. 
Burdock  and  .Start  did  the  best  fielding  and  Larkih 
the  be.'^t  batting  for  their  side.  The  Indianapolis 
players  were  singularly  unfortunate  in  this'  game, 
as,  although  they  outplayed  the  Hartfords  both  at 
the  bat  and  in  the  field,  as  the  score  will,  show,  they 
were  nevertheless  defeated.  The  pitching  and  catcil- 
ing  of  Flint  and  Nolan  were  much  admired,  as  was  the 
short-field  play  of  Mack.     Following  is  the  sCore  :

A  POLE  ASTONISHED  BT  LIGHTNING. 

The  Detroit  Free  Press  of  Wednesday  contains 
the  following  story  of  a  mishap:  "One  of  the  Po- 
lauders  employed  on  the  T^'ird-street  improvements 
got  hold  of  too  much  whisky  Monday.aftemoon.  and 
was  obliged  to  drop  his  shovel  and  take  to  a  fence- 
corner  to  sleep  off  the  effects.  He  was  still  sleeping 
when  the  crowd  quit  work,  and  it  was  only  when  the 
thunrter-storm  came  up  that  he  rubbed  slumber  from 
his  eyes,  picked  up  his  long-handled  shovel,  and  set 
out  for  home.  He  was  crossing  the  26-acre  commons 
near  the  upper  end  of  Cass-avenue  when  a  bolt  of 
lichtning  not  only  hurled  the  shovel  from  his  shoul- 
der, but  shattered  the  handle,  split  off  a  piece  of  the 
shovel-blade.' SJid  colored  the  rest  a  deep  purple,  or 
something  like  the  color  of  bar-iron.  The  man  was 
knocked  down  and  badly  shocked,  but  as  soon  as  he 
could  move  he  ran  for  the  nearest  honse,  crvjng 
'Murder  !'  as  loud  as  he  could  yell.  He  returned  for 
his  shovel  yesterday  morning,  and  there  wasn't  a 
Pole  in  the  crowd  of  30  with  him.  on  their  way  to 
the  job,  who  didn't  solemnly  affirm  that  their  com- 
rade escaped  death  because  some  of  the  whisky  waa 
still  left  in  him-''  

HOTT  DOGS  ARE  KILLED  IN  BOSTON. 
The  Boston  Herald  of  Sunda^says  :  *'  Owinig 
to  the  ref u-sal  of  Ward  &  Co.  to  receive  the  dogs  poi- 
soned by  Mr.  Watts,  on  account  of  the  dancer  from 
handling  them,  the  latter  decided  to  hasten  the  de- 
parture of  poor  Tray  from  this  world  by  plac- 
mg  uDon  his  neck  a  chisel -shaped^^strument,  made 
for  the  purpose,  which,  upon  being  struck  with  a 
mallet,  severed  the  spinal  column,  causing  death  in- 
stantaneously. Accordinely,  the  experiment  was 
made  in  the  presence  of  two' scientific  men.  and  the 
result  was  that  the  process  wrr  adjudged  faulty  and 
inhuman,  because  of  the  uncertainty  of  placing"  the 
instrument  in  the-proper  position,  on  account  of  the 
smallnesfi  of  the  spinal  chord,  and  because,  should 
the  instrument  be  displaced,  it  would  entail  upon  the 
animal  an  unnecessary  amount  of  snCtering  before 
death  would  ensue.  Consequently,  Mr.  Watts  will 
continue  his  old  method  of  poisouine  them.  He  will 
dispose  of  the  bodies  himself.  The  dog  catching 
business  still  continues  brisk,  Saturday's  yield  be-
